The Cost of Conviction: Deepest Values, Taboo Tradeoffs and Better Thinking(2/16/2026) We like to believe we make decisions by weighing evidence, considering outcomes, and thinking things through. But in reality, most of our choices are guided by something far more powerful and far less examined: our sacred values. In this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles interviews Steven Sloman, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists and the author of The Cost of Conviction, to explore how our deepest moral commitments shape the way we think, argue, vote, and lead. Steven explains why relying too heavily on sacred values can quietly override consequences, shut down reasoning, and fuel the kind of polarization we see everywhere today. Drawing on decades of research in decision-making, psychology, and collective cognition, this conversation challenges the assumption that moral certainty equates with moral clarity. Instead, Steven shows how humility, tradeoff thinking, and shared reasoning are essential if we want better decisions and a less divided society.Our Deeply Held Sacred Values, and How Decisions Really Get MadeSteven Sloman introduces a powerful distinction between two ways humans make decisions. One approach focuses on consequences and outcomes. The other relies on moral absolutes that frame actions as simply right or wrong. While both are necessary, problems arise when these deepest values dominate situations that require nuance, tradeoffs, and long-term thinking. When these deepest values take over, decision-making feels easier and more emotionally satisfying. But that ease often comes at the cost of understanding, empathy, and flexibility. This is where good intentions can quietly lead us astray.Taboo Tradeoffs and Why Moral Absolutes Break DownOne of the most striking parts of this conversation is Steven’s explanation of taboo tradeoffs. These occur when people refuse to exchange moral convictions for any material or practical benefit, even when circumstances demand difficult choices. Steven also introduces tragic tradeoffs, moments when two deepest values collide, and no option preserves moral purity. These moments reveal why absolute thinking struggles in a complex world and why mature decision making requires accepting loss, ambiguity, and responsibility.ABOUT PASSION STRUCK In Passion Struck, John R. Miles—award-winning author, globally recognized podcast host, and former Fortune 50 executive—delivers a science-backed framework to help you focus, time, and energy; align your actions with what truly matters; Lead with clarity—whether at work, at home, or in your community.

From a Toddler with a Dream to the Big Stage: The Journey of King MooreAn inspirational story of a young boy with big dreams and a big heart. He inspires other young people with his motto, “Dream big, never give up.”In this episode of Jewels with Jules, host Jules Warren shares the incredible story of a little boy with a big dream and two parents willing to sacrifice everything to help make it come true. King Moore, a talented young performer born and raised in Tampa, Florida, now residing in California, is making his national debut on this season of America’s Got Talent and began dreaming big before he could even spell the word “Hollywood.” https://instagram.com/kingmoorehttps://www.facebook.com/themoores1 https://youtube.com/c/kingmooreTHE BACK STORY Born and raised in a loving household led by Verlin and Ivette Moore, King declared at just three years old that he wanted to be an actor, singer, rapper, model, and dancer. From that day forward, the Moore family committed themselves to helping King chase his dream. Ivette left her job to focus full-time on his training. Together, they invested deeply in King’s development — acting classes, vocal coaching, piano lessons, gymnastics, and countless hours in the studio. They traveled from state to state, giving King every opportunity to perform, grow, and be seen. Now, 10-year-old King Moore has already started building an impressive résumé. He was a contestant on America’s Got Talent and a special guest at the Grammys. He was invited to the White House by the Biden Administration, along with many music videos he has written and produced. He’s had small roles in feature films, including Cora Bora, The Wild Robot, and CoComelon (as Cody). His face has graced national commercials for AT&T and Toyota. King also appeared twice on the Tamron Hall Show (ABC/Disney). Along with his great success, King believes in giving back to his community and country. He advocates for gun control, which he spoke about at the White House, and is the youngest ambassador for the Black College Expo. Recently, he started a campaign called Brand New, which focuses on global youth music as a tool for cultural exchange, unity, and social impact. #kingmoore #kingmooreworld #radiostpete #jewelswithjules #juleswarren#music #rap #americasgottalent #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete #dtsp #downtownstpete

On this episode of Big Broadway Energy, host Stephen Riordan welcomes back powerhouse artist and producer Tiffany Faykus, joined by actor Leonora Octavia Tapper, to talk about a bold, one-weekend-only Tampa Bay production of The Niceties—and the urgent conversations it sparks.Presented by Her Stories Told, The Niceties (by Eleanor Burgess) centers on a seemingly polite meeting between a white American history professor and her Black student that explodes into a fierce, funny, and deeply uncomfortable debate about race, privilege, power, and who gets to write history. What starts as an academic critique quickly unravels into something far more personal—and far more human.Stephen and his guests dig into the play’s emotional heat, the importance of civil discourse, and why empathy feels more necessary than ever. Tiffany shares how the production aligns with Her Stories Told’s mission of “engaging hearts, opening minds, one story at a time,” while Leonora talks about portraying a young woman determined to challenge the systems around her. Together, they reflect on trust, vulnerability, and the offstage friendship that fuels their onstage intensity.Directed by Andresia Mosley and performed at The Studio@620, this limited run promises a thought-provoking theatrical experience that doesn’t hand audiences easy answers—but absolutely guarantees conversation long after the curtain falls.🎟 Tickets & info: https://thestudio620.org 🌐 Her Stories Told: https://herstoriestold.com 📧 Podcast contact: [email protected]: Be kind, be curious, and keep creating.

Saumitra shares his personal connection as one of the original mural artists, making the moment especially meaningful.Throughout the conversation, the group reflects on how visibility, public space, and transportation choices all shape a sense of belonging—and how small, creative changes can make St. Pete easier to navigate without a car and more joyful for everyone.Links & Contact City of St. Petersburg: https://www.stpete.org Connect Pinellas: https://www.connectpinellas.org Nathan Bruemmer: [email protected] #CarFreeStPete #StPetePride #BikeStPete #LGBTQCommunity

In this episode of HISTORICALLY ST. PETE, Rui Farias - the executive director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History, highlights another St. Pete leader and organization in our African American community during Black History Month. Rui welcomes Irene Johnson-Pridgen to studio to talk about her brother, Cleveland Johnson Jr., the founder of The Weekly Challenger in St. Petersburg, today still a comprehensive source of African American news in all of Tampa Bay. Learn more all year round at SPMOH's Civil Rights trolley tour events and exhibits, and on their social media.👉In 1967, The Weekly Challenger dcoumented the history of St. Petersburg's African American community. Founded by community advocate Cleveland Johnson Jr., it provided fair and affirming coverage of Black life in Pinellas County . It thrived as a folksy paper that published news that the larger daily papers ignored. The late publisher Cleveland Johnson, a native of Thomasville, Ga., started working as a salesman in the early 1950s for the Weekly Advertiser owned by M.C. Fountain. After years of working under Fountain, Johnson acquired the business in 1967, changed the name and rebranded it as a weekly newspaper catering to African-American news in the Tampa Bay area.👉During the first two decades of ownership, Johnson expanded the paper from just a few pages to 32, eight of them in color, seven with full-page advertisements. The paper closely followed events related to school desegregation, and kept up with national corporations, noting which ones would hire black employees. When Johnson died in 2001 at the age of 73, obituaries were published in newspapers as far away as Honolulu, Hawaii.👉After his death his widow, Ethel Johnson, stepped in as publisher. Now, more than a decade later, The Weekly Challenger is still the voice of the black community in Pinellas County, and after a cavalcade of general managers, Johnson’s youngest daughter, Lyn Johnson, has taken over as publisher. Since her short time at the helm, becoming manager in February of 2012, Johnson has brought readership up by focusing strictly on community news, adding national news only to the website.#historicallystepete #ruifarias #stpetersburgmuseumofhistory #spmoh #civilrightsmovement #africanamericanstpete #theweeklychallenger #Clevelandjohnsonjr. #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete #dtsp #downtownstpete

What if one of the most personal decisions a woman can make (when and whether to become a mother) became a public act of courage that shifted the conversation for an entire generation? In Episode 710 of Passion Struck, Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (D-CA) joins John R. Miles for a deeply human conversation that has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with agency, worth, and vulnerability.👉At 31, newly sworn into Congress, Sara froze her eggs to preserve the option of motherhood on her own timeline. At 36, still serving, she returned for two more rounds and chose to speak openly about the physical toll, emotional weight, and empowering choice behind it. Sara shares the raw realities (hot flashes, intense cravings, acne, and the surprising joy of taking control), why she rejects pity for empowerment, and how radical vulnerability has become her superpower in leadership. She challenges the idea that women must be perfect to lead, explains why fertility is not just a “women’s issue,” and calls on male leaders to recognize their experience represents only half the story. 👉If you’ve ever felt pressure to follow a prescribed path or wondered how authenticity can reshape both personal life and public policy, this conversation is for you.

The current show at St. Petersburg’s freeFall Theatre is Jonathan Brielle’s Himself and Nora running through March 8. It’s a musical about the iconic Irish novelist James Joyce (1882-1941) and the intimate yet tempestuous relationship he had with his wife, Nora Barnacle. Joining Bill today in the Arts Alive! podcast studio are Robert Teasdale (Joyce) and Katie Davis (Nora), who discuss the play, the dynamic between the long-ago Irish lovers, and the process by which director Eric Davis (no relation) and musical director Michael Raabe pulled the powerful production together. Himself and Nora also stars Michael Gregory, Julia Rifino and Drew H. Wells, each in multiple roles, but at day’s end it’s all about “Jimmy” and Nora. Many subjects are tackled, including the Catholic church and its effects on the free-thinking Joyces, the moral standards of the era (Joyce’s controversial epic Ulysess can’t find an American publisher), alcoholism and adultery.

Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts Supports Student Wellness with Mahaffey Class Acts ProgramIn this episode of Good Deeds, host Nanette Wiser catches up with CEO & Philanthropist Bill Edwards (Duke Energy Center for the Arts- Mahaffey Theater, Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts) and Katrina Young (VP of Arts Education & Entertainment, Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts) about a very special Class Acts Live Performance program Feb. 9 "How to Survive Middle School" for grades 5-8 that deals with the issues of bullying, social media and its impact on mental health.👉Comedian Robert Post barely survived Middle School. Struggling because of various learning disabilities, he found that making people laugh saved him. In this brand new multimedia performance, kids talk to kids in a compelling, funny, and educational show. Dealing with real issues affecting students today, including social media, testing, bullying, and peer pressure, these video testimonials by kids and their advocates (along with a generous dose of Post’s signature humor) are sure to resonate with school and public audiences alike. One of Robert Post’s childhood report cards in Columbus, Ohio, gave a hint as to how his future might unfold. Not amused by Robert’s antics, his teacher created a whole new column of categories describing maladaptive behavior. Happily for audiences around the world, Post stuck with antics. The result: a dazzling performance career that continues to defy categories.👉Class Acts youth educational programs continue with Cirque du Bam, A Carnival of Creativity; The Lightning Thief TYA Edition; Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus; The Boy Who Grew Flowers; and Honk!Jr., followed by theatrical summer camps and The Descendants play, following the success of The Little Mermaid (2024) and Legally Blonde Jr. The Musicial. Learn more at [email protected].👉Bill filled us in on the big news that his first draft of book is finished and with his publisher as well as his plan to let someone else take of management of The Mahaffey in Fall 2026 when his contract is up with the city. We will forever be grateful for his contributions to our community and his work creating a world-class performance venue.

Host Nanette Wiser chats with author and environmental activist Robin Greenfield in advance of his visit to the Tampa Bay area where he will be speaking in Tampa and St. Petersburg as part of his tour. 👉Eckerd College will host a special event with Robin Greenfield (environmental activist and author) as he continues his mission to forage 100% of his food this year to highlight underutilized wild resources. Greenfield will offer his insights at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday Feb. 11, 2026 in a public lecture at Eckerd College’s Fox Hall, 4200 54th Avenue S. St. Petersburg, FL 33711. 👉The Eckerd College Community Farm will join Greenfield’s initiative by planting new trees on Feb. 11 and donating banana trees to neighboring community gardens. The EC Community Farm is a 1-acre sustainable farm and food forest situated between the soccer and baseball fields in the heart of Eckerd’s campus in St. Petersburg, Florida. It provides produce to the campus, while creating opportunities for hands-on education, service, and recreation.👉Greenfield believes the Earth can provide us with everything we need. For one year he is foraging every bite of his food and medicine. “Nature” is his garden, his pantry and his pharmacy. To bring this message to the people, he is traveling to communities throughout the United States. He will embody a relationship of reciprocity with Earth during his community visits, bringing a spotlight to the food and medicine that is growing freely and abundantly all around us. As well as enthusiastically inviting communities to join him in a grassroots effort to plant 1 Million Community Fruit Trees over the next decade. Upcoming events. More on Robin. Resources from Robin. "A Thoreau-esque character for our digital age, he pushes the boundaries of essentialism to their outer limits in what amounts to performance art with purpose: shedding modern artifice to connect more deeply with himself and the planet. After walking 1,600 miles down the Pacific Coast with just 44 possessions, Robin arrived in Los Angeles, sat naked in Griffith Park, and relinquished everything — no ID, bank account, phone, or clothing — to live in nature, subsisting on strangers’ kindness."MORE#environment #robingreenfield #eckerdcollege #1millionfruittrees #sustainableliving #foraging #zeroconsumption #zerowaste #nanettewiser #livelifebetter #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete #dtsp #downtownstpete
