I didn't really have an interest in being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. From the underground clubs that shaped global music to the pastors and creatives who built the cultural empire, the Atlanta Ears podcast uncovers the stories behind one of the most influential cities in the world. The thing I love about Atlanta is that it's a city of hustlers, man.

Chapter 2: What is the psychology of regret?
Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name.
In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion.
If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

Hey, just finished drawing up that quick one page business plan for you. Here's the link.
But there was no link. There was no business plan. It's not his fault. I hadn't programmed Kyle to be able to do that yet. My name is Evan Ratliff. I decided to create Kyle, my AI co-founder, after hearing a lot of stuff like this from OpenAI CEO Sam Aldman.
There's this betting pool for the first year that there's a one-person billion-dollar company, which would have been unimaginable without AI, and now it will happen. I got to thinking, could I be that one person? I'd made AI agents before for my award-winning podcast, Shell Game. This season on Shell Game, I'm trying to build a real company with a real product run by fake people. Oh, hey, Evan.
Good to have you join us. I found some really interesting data on adoption rates for AI agents in small to medium businesses. Listen to Shell Game on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everyone, it's Ed Helms. And I'm Cal Penn, and we are the hosts of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart audiobook club.
This week on the podcast, I am talking to film and TV critic, radio and podcast host, and Harry Potter superfan, Rihanna Dillon, to discuss Audible's full cast adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. What moments in this audiobook capture the feeling of the magical world best for you, or just stood out the most? I always loved reading about the Quidditch matches.
And I think the audio really gets it because it just plunges you right into the stands. You have the crowd sounds like all around you. It is surround sound, especially if you're listening in headphones. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Chapter 3: How does counterfactual thinking relate to regret?
Now, there are some regrets for which this is simply not going to make us feel better. Nothing came from it. You didn't learn anything. It's made your life worse. Sadly, that is the case sometimes. Then it might be simply worth looking at how we can live with the facts of what happened.
One of the hardest but most important cognitive skills I think we can master, and I'm yet to master it, I'm being optimistic, I wish I could, but it's acceptance. Accepting that this happened, regret will happen, such as the flow and intricacies of life and not having, not being able to predict the future. You don't have to put a positive spin on it.
You don't have to turn it into an opportunity. But you have to be willing to acknowledge that, yeah, it happened and there's nothing you can change it and you can go forward anyways. I'm not going to ignore the fact that I don't like it. I wish it were different. but this is the reality that I'm facing.
As long as you are mentally replaying the past trying to get a different outcome, you stay locked in a kind of mental argument with yourself that you're never going to win and you will never be able to move forward from. Regret in that moment just paralyzes you further. It reduces any ability you have to change. It's also important to note that
What's happening there in that moment where you just ruminate on everything you could have done differently is its own kind of cognitive bias. It's called hindsight bias. The tendency to believe that past actions should have been obvious or avoidable given what you know now. We all know that's not true.
For every scenario your brain may have cooked up for you of how this could have gone good or bad and for all that predictive value you think your brain has, there's always going to be an option that you didn't think of and it's probably the option that happened. Because again, you can't predict the future. And that is why radical self-compassion is so important. You've made a mistake.
You have a deep regret about something. You're not sure if you can move past it. Having radical self-compassion in that moment is not an attempt to excuse the behavior or to change it. It's just the tone you take with yourself when you think back on it. When I think about regrets I have, I always go back to the Professor Kristin Neff's model of self-compassion.
She defines it as comprising of three components. Self-kindness, responding to personal failure with care rather than harsh judgment. Common humanity, recognizing that anybody else could have made the same mistake or have a similar regret to you and what you're experiencing. And also mindfulness, just holding painful thoughts and emotions in, balanced awareness with other more positive thoughts.
Not over-identifying with them. Not saying that because I made this mistake, because I didn't make this choice, this is who I am for the rest of my life. Just acknowledging that they are part of your life the way many more magical parts are as well. Importantly, this research consistently shows... having that kind of respect and relationship to regret doesn't reduce accountability.
