   Sasha Talks with Sasha Laghonh Win, Lose or Draw: Recognizing and Embracing Life's Opportunities In this solo edition of Sasha Talks, host Sasha Laghonh explores how to recognize, create and respond to the opportunities that cross our paths, weaving in lessons on failure, flexibility, readiness and trusting one's own direction. Recognizing Opportunities Hiding in Plain Sight Sasha Laghonh opens the broadcast from sashatalks.com, framing the hour around the theme Win, Lose or Draw, and tells listeners that exploring opportunities is one of the top reasons people reach out to her for private services. She asks how many chances go unnoticed simply because people fail to recognize them, describing an opportunity as something offered by people, life or the universe to help a person grow, learn or succeed. These openings can be educational, business related, personal or social, she explains, and they arrive through both expected and unexpected means. Rejecting the idea that opportunity always announces itself brightly, she repeats advice she has given clients since her early days in practice: be careful what you wish for. She urges listeners to examine their own motives, warning that chasing something without understanding the why behind it, or without alignment to a higher good, can cause more harm than simply missing out. Doors, Blessings, and Disguised Curses Sasha turns to the idea that not every opportunity is meant to strengthen a person, noting that some chances look polished and feel good yet still fall outside someone's greater purpose. She explains that success can only be defined by the individual pursuing it, and that recognizing an opportunity depends on what a person looks for and whether they act on it. Not every opening is handed down by life or society, she says; sometimes a person must create their own opportunity by knocking on doors rather than waiting for one to appear. She cautions that a door opening does not automatically mean it is meant for someone, and that a closed door can be a blessing in disguise, sparing a person from detours into places they were never meant to belong. Whether a chance turns out to be a blessing, a curse or a breakthrough, she says, often cannot be known until it is actually embraced, since the same opportunity can affect different people in very different ways. Learning From Loss and Failure Sasha reframes loss as part of the process rather than something to fear, telling listeners that a small-margin loss does not discount hard work, and that failures often set people up for eventual success. She traces the philosophy behind Sasha Talks back to lessons learned through life experience, insisting there is no need to reinvent the wheel and that people should work with the resources, energy and knowledge already in front of them. Drawing on conversations with entrepreneurs she has interviewed over the years, she notes a common refrain to fail fast and move on, then asks what lessons are actually taken from that failure. She observes that ability and effort do not always travel together, since some people apply themselves without natural ability while others coast on talent without effort. Self development and professional development, she argues, cannot be fully separated, and she encourages listeners not to get too attached to titles, since holding onto them too tightly can become limiting over time. Staying Flexible Through Life's Curveballs Sasha shifts to the theme of flexibility, warning that people who dig in on decisions and outcomes without the ability to think differently can damage their mental, emotional and physical health over time. She reminds listeners that some changes unfold over months or years rather than hours or days, and that the real question each day is whether a person is progressing or regressing. Taking two steps back is not a failure, she says, so long as it does not become a lifestyle of backsliding that erodes the desire to keep movin

   Sasha Talks with Sasha Laghonh Around the World in More Than 80 Days: Faith, Freedom, and Global Perspective with Larry Alex Taunton Author and cultural commentator Larry Alex Taunton joins Sasha Laghonh to talk about his book Around the World in More Than 80 Days, sharing stories from Nigeria to China and warning about growing threats to free speech in America. A Book Sparked By Colin Kaepernick Sasha Laghonh opens the show by introducing Larry Alex Taunton, the American author, columnist and cultural commentator known for appearances on CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera America and the BBC, and for previous books including The Grace Effect and The Faith of Christopher Hitchens. She welcomes him to talk about his newest work, Around the World in More Than 80 Days, and asks how long the project took to complete. Taunton explains that three years of research and travel preceded roughly eight months of actual writing. Asked what prompted him to test whether America still deserves its reputation for greatness, he points to Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback whose kneeling protests and alliance with Nike struck Taunton as symptomatic of a generation ignorant of both its own opportunities and the realities of life elsewhere. He set out, he tells Sasha, to demonstrate both points at once. Mapping A Global Itinerary Sasha asks whether Taunton planned his route or improvised as he assessed each country's climate. He describes a carefully constructed itinerary built around a short list of nations that could plausibly compete for the title of world's greatest country, alongside former Marxist states and African nations grappling with the spread of Islam, chosen to give readers a fuller picture of how most of the world actually lives under some form of authoritarian rule. The project, he says, visited 35 countries in all, though eight were left out of the final book to keep it readable, with 26 countries making the cut. He credits Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days as inspiration for the adventure format, noting that his team used the same variety of transportation Phileas Fogg once did. The result, he says, is meant to entertain while quietly educating readers about the wider world beyond America's borders. Surprises, Middle Class, And Traveling Sons Despite having already visited roughly 40 countries before this trip, Taunton tells Sasha he still encountered surprises, discovering that Donald Trump carries real popularity in non-Islamic parts of Africa and that Americans are unexpectedly well liked in Vietnam. He insists the book is not a blanket celebration of the United States, since the journey also revealed things worth admiring elsewhere. Sasha asks about the American middle class compared with its counterparts abroad, and Taunton argues it remains better off, though he warns that could erode under different tax and economic policy. Two of his three sons, Christopher and Zachary, joined him for portions of the trip, though he kept them away from the most dangerous stops. Zachary documented the journey in video blogs for his own generation, and Taunton says both sons, already well traveled and loving of their country, came home with a deepened appreciation for the United States. Danger In Nigeria And A Denied Visa The conversation turns to risk, and Taunton recounts traveling to Nigeria at the invitation of a bishop to document Christian persecution, citing a figure of roughly 100,000 Christians killed globally each year, mostly by Muslims. He describes being driven six hours through territory patrolled by Fulani herdsmen militia, hidden in a darkened Toyota Sequoia, and visiting villages where families had been murdered or enslaved. He declined an offer of armed security, reasoning it would make him a bigger target, and instead relied on blending in and following local advice, noting that even a concealed handgun would be useless against the AK-47s common in such regions. Sasha asks about visa tr

   Embracing A New Season With Direction Finding Your True North: Moving Into a New Season With Clarity, Trust, and Direction Recognizing the Season You Are In The episode centers on the idea that every stage of life has a beginning, a purpose, and an eventual ending, and that moving into a new season requires more than simply choosing a destination. The host encourages listeners to ask where they are being directed and what kind of transition they are experiencing, whether personal, professional, entrepreneurial, spiritual, or relational. Change may arrive gradually or suddenly, and the speaker emphasizes that methods and coping strategies that worked in the past may no longer be suitable for a new chapter. The recurring principle is that “old ways won't open new doors.” Listeners are encouraged to recognize when it is time to move forward rather than waiting for circumstances to force the decision. Using Direction to Reduce Confusion Direction is presented as a way to give purpose to transition and reduce mental, emotional, and practical confusion. The host says that people may seek counsel, consultation, or other sources of clarity, but ultimately they must exercise their own judgment and free will. A destination can change, and a person may decide to continue, pause, choose a period of respite, or pursue something different. The speaker cautions against impulsiveness and encourages listeners to consider what needs to be invited into their lives and what needs to be released. Time itself is also discussed as a resource, with the point that having more hours would not necessarily make an unproductive person more productive if the underlying habits remained unchanged. Releasing What No Longer Fits A reflective practice is offered in which listeners periodically ask what they need to change, implement, or remove from their lives. This can include mindsets, speech patterns, decisions, behaviors, habits, relationships, opportunities, or emotional attachments. The host describes beliefs as repetitive thoughts that can be developed and also dissolved over time, and urges listeners to distinguish life-giving beliefs from those that sabotage growth. Letting go may require mourning, but the speaker frames that mourning as part of acknowledging and honoring what once existed. Clearing out what no longer belongs is presented as a necessary part of making space for what is new. Listening, Solitude, and Personal Judgment The host emphasizes listening inwardly and repeats the idea that people hear with their ears but listen with their hearts. Opportunities and advice may come from other people, personal experience, intuition, or circumstances, but not every open door is automatically the right door. Periods of reduced social engagement or isolation can help remove noise and distraction so a person can listen more clearly. The speaker also argues that closed doors often become catalysts for growth because they force movement that might otherwise have been postponed. Throughout this section, judgment remains central: even seemingly positive signs require thoughtful interpretation rather than automatic action. Trusting the Process While Staying Flexible Trust is explored as something that develops over time rather than appearing instantly. The host compares life direction with navigation, explaining that people may have signs and a destination but still need to course-correct as circumstances change. Adjusting a plan does not mean abandoning a goal or losing one's identity; instead, it means living proactively and mindfully in real time. The unknown is described as a kind of fog that can help build patience and trust. The speaker also challenges listeners to consider what they are doing while waiting, arguing that patience should still involve growth, preparation, and meaningful use of time. Readiness, Action, and the Moving-Car Principle The final portion distinguishes being merely open to change from
