Identifying where our problems originate is one thing, but locating the Divine Healer is key in getting clear of obstacles in our lives. At each mile marker in our life journeys, God is standing alongside the road, smiling at us, and holding out His strong hand to guide us. And from the indispensable wisdom of scripture to stories of human triumphs over tragedies, He is always there reminding us we're never truly alone. His grace and mercies begin to overshadow and overwhelm those forces that want to harm us, and it's then that we see God for who He truly is. 1 Peter 5:10 says, “And after you've suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” And that is Good News! Let's pray. Lord, it's important to see who our enemy is, but it's more important to look past that and concentrate our focus on you who brings us that peace that passes all understanding, the kind that gets down deep in us and calms us from the inside out. In Jesus' name, amen.  Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

ZaZar on Humanity's Ascension: Unified Consciousness, Light Spiral Downloads & DNA Activation with Marilyn Gewacke Kara Goodwin was thrilled to welcome back clinical psychologist and channel Marilyn Gewacke, who shares teachings from ZaZar about accelerating "winds of change" linked to solar/galactic energies that both dismantle unstable 3D structures and fuel manifestation and ascension. They discuss growing readiness for awakening, disclosure narratives and fear, and the importance of building a coherent unified field of heart-based consciousness through retreats, meditation, and kindness.  ZaZar explains a unique nighttime experience Kara had as a visitation involving "light spiral downloads," increased receptivity corridors within her consciousness, and multidimensional contact, emphasizing free will and conscious awareness of vibrational experience.  He describes the unified field rapidly strengthening toward access to "zero point" energy, light codes, and DNA shifts that support healing, longevity, and integration of light and physical bodies, aided by "cosmic humans." Marilyn shares upcoming retreats and online "Epic News" and Q&A events.

Start your day off on the right foot with Morning Affirmations – inspiring quotes and affirmations to help you make positive changes every day. Change your mindset, change your life.

When fear takes control, God just crushes it.None of us are immune from feeling unsettled at times. Circumstances have a way of knocking us off balance. How we respond not only affects our lives, but those who are watching us.In the film “The Patriot,” a colonial militia leader sees the British kidnap his son. Taking the two younger sons with him, they wait in ambush in the forest. One of the sons is rattled and crying, so the father puts his hands on the boy's shoulders, looks him in the eyes, and says, “Steady.” Fear drains from the boy's face.In that moment of terror for the whole family, the father's example won the day, and their day ended well.In 2 Timothy 1:7, we learn the source of calm. It says this: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and a sound mind.”God has given you a spirit of power, love, and a good mind. So don't let fear, the enemy, or the world intimidate you when it comes to sharing your faith. Speak God's truth with boldness and love. Your moment will come one day, and by keeping in mind the truth of God's word, courage will overcome fear.Notice the qualities mentioned in Second Timothy. God has actually given us courage, but also power, and a sound mind—also phrased as self-discipline. And discipline will help keep you steady in a crisis. That spirit of power actually does our fighting for us, and it is the enemy who is afraid.Let's pray.Father, you are good to us. Just as Jesus modeled for us how to handle fear when he prayed in the garden, we know that you have our back, and we can be courageous. Thank you for a sound mind and a calm heart in times of trouble. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

You HAVE to see this — the women of "The View" just got the Karmelo Anthony stabbing case completely WRONG, and their race-baiting lies are blowing up in their faces! Pat Gray breaks down the shocking misinformation "The View" pushed about the Texas track meet murder for which Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years for stabbing Austin Metcalf. From claiming it wasn't a "jury of his peers" because there were no black jurors (a total myth — "jury of peers" means from the community, not by race) to lying about Anthony's weight being 130 pounds to falsely saying he was the "only black kid under the tent" — when multiple black witnesses actually testified against him. "The View" ignored the facts: Anthony was the aggressor, brought a knife, ignored repeated warnings to leave, and stabbed Metcalf in the heart over a shove. This isn't justice — it is anti-woke media spinning a clear murder case to divide Americans. We also cover: 29% of New Yorkers now admit they HATE how New York is going. James Talarico openly HATES Christianity. Have you seen the missing Texas giraffe? Lizzo's latest album, “Bitch,” completely flops — here's why. Pat gives a painful update on his home renovation (and it's not good). Drop your thoughts in the comments RIGHT NOW: Do you think "The View" is deliberately lying to push a race narrative? YES or NO? What shocked you most about the show's misinformation on the Karmelo Anthony case? Should shows like "The View" be held accountable for spreading false information? I read every single comment from fellow patriots like you — your voice matters in the fight for truth!

Change sounds exciting until you're the one who has to do it. When leaders announce a new direction, most teams don't hear a strategy deck, they hear a threat to safety, competence, and stability. We sit down with Travis Halher, a change and transformation leader with a neuroscience background and the author of Rethink Resistance, to explain what's really happening in the brain when people push back and why “resistance isn't rebellion, it's biology.” We dig into the uncomfortable truth behind modern change management: the famous stat that roughly 70% of transformations fail to reach the desired outcome has barely moved in decades. Travis breaks down how leaders often misread the moment, protect their ego, and accidentally intensify fear through secrecy, oversimplified messaging, or authoritarian pressure. We talk about building trust during uncertainty, why transparency usually reduces risk, and how negative bias shapes decision making at work even for high performers. Then we turn to the next wave: AI transformation. Adoption isn't just about training and tools when people suspect the tool could replace them. We explore how to implement AI without draining the human element from your culture and why letting ChatGPT “end” a healthy team debate can destroy alignment. If you lead a team, run a small business, or just feel stuck, you'll leave with practical questions you can use immediately. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a leader who's rolling out change, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: How do we know when to work and when to rest? I learned about spiralinear time from Kohenet Sara Esther Richards who wrote her Masters Thesis, Spiralinear Time: Religious Calendar Formation, Momentum, and Change within a Dynamic Time Structure, on the topic. We learn about the shmitta in Exodus 23:10-11 Here is a photo of us at the beginning of our first shmitta year; this was taken in Kyoto, Japan in January 2009. The Jonathan Sacks quote, “Shabbat is the day we stand still and let all our blessings catch up with us.” comes from his book, Radical Then, Radical Now. The words to Lecha Dodi by Shlomo Alkabetz can be found here. “Shamor” (keep/guard) and “zachor” (remember) are in verse 2. The 39 melachot can be found in the Mishnah (Shabbat 7:2). If you want to find out whose land you're on, https://native-land.ca/ is an excellent resource. You can find out how the moon is cycling in your particular location here. Check out the Rest to Return webpage for photos, info about the Rest to Return retreat, and more! This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit.

In this episode of Daily Creative, we explore the nuanced experience of failure and the creative courage required to start over. We open with a story about recognizing when to let go of failed dreams and the importance of closure—giving our abandoned ambitions the dignity of a “decent burial” rather than carrying emotional residue into our next ventures.We're joined by Steve Kamb, founder of Nerd Fitness and author of How to Try Again. The conversation focused on the modern misconception that achievement is only about relentless forward momentum. Instead, we dig into what happens after things don't go as planned, and how to move forward with intention.One concept discussed was identity and how the language of failure has shifted over centuries—from being seen as an event to being seen as a statement about who we are. We unpack the psychological weight behind this shift and how it can paralyze us from trying again.Steve shared research-backed approaches and a pragmatic framework called PACT: Pause, Accept, Change, Try. Rather than reflexively doubling down or giving up, this approach urges us to create space, honestly examine our circumstances, investigate what went wrong with curiosity (not self-loathing), and experiment with new methods.A key theme that emerged was the value of collective vulnerability and perspective—realizing our failures aren't so unique, and that growth comes from standing on the shoulders of our setbacks, not being buried beneath them.Five Key LearningsClosure is Undervalued: If we don't fully mark the end of a failed project or dream, we risk dragging its emotional baggage into our next pursuit. Sometimes “burying the butterfly” is what frees us for genuine renewal. (02:29)Failure and Identity are Not the Same: We too often internalize failure as a flaw in who we are, rather than seeing it as something that happened. Recognizing this distinction is critical for resilience. (09:08)Healthy Pausing Beats Reflexive Action: Jumping immediately back in or attempting more brute-force effort often leads to burnout and stagnation. Pausing creates space for honest self-assessment and recalibration. (13:44)Success Comes from Tactical Experimentation: Treating setbacks with the dispassion of a detective or scientist allows us to refine methods without self-judgment. Success stems from iterative learning, not from following a fixed blueprint. (15:27)Vulnerability is a Shared Human Experience: By sharing failures—both trivial and profound—we open ourselves to community, lessen stigma, and build collective strength. Our failures become data, not shames to be hidden. (11:32)Get full interviews and bonus content for free! Just join the list at DailyCreativePlus.com.

Send us Fan MailTime is going to move, with or without your permission, and that's exactly why this conversation matters. We start with a simple image, time-lapse photography, and use it to surface a bigger truth about life, mindset, and personal growth: change is guaranteed, but transformation is not. If you've ever felt frustrated that years pass and you still feel stuck, we name what's really happening and what to do next.We break down the difference between change and transformation in plain language. Change is what the calendar does to all of us: seasons, aging, new pressures, new opportunities. Transformation is what you do back. It's conscious effort, skill-building, and intentional living, the daily choices that shape your psychology, habits, and future. We talk about the quiet mistake of waiting for life to improve on its own, and why “tomorrow will come” is not the same as “I will grow.”Then we get practical with examples: if you want a leadership role, you don't wait for a title to transform you. You build the capacity first through reading, speaking, learning persuasion, improving how you show up, and investing in yourself over time. We also reflect on the story of Joseph as a case study in long-game preparation, where years of pressure become years of development, and readiness meets timing.If you're thinking about time management, self-improvement, leadership development, or a mindset reset, press play and take one honest step afterward. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's waiting on “someday,” and leave a review with the change you're choosing to respond to next.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

No one is truly alone. Some people have many relatives and friends, others just a few. Occasionally, someone will have no real friends or family, but all of us interact with humans, and that over time, has proven to be dicey. The health of our relationships is one of the biggest factors in how we function each day. Turmoil and chaos at home or work, or both, puts us in emotional quicksand. On the other hand, healthy relationships in our lives improve our overall health and make us more productive.In Genesis, God modeled right relationships for humans, and this model continues through the Bible right to the end in Revelation. From this, we see that our first priority in relationships is to be in fellowship with our Creator. Get that one right, and everything else flows. Following close behind is finding harmony in our human relationships, and getting this right is crucial to finding peace. Ephesians 4:2–3 says, “Be completely humble and gentle. Be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”Most people are familiar with the well-known Bible verses that deal with relationships, such as Paul's wisdom from Ephesians, but Scripture is loaded with helpful and healing relationship commands. We hesitate to call it advice because God doesn't really give advice. He tells us what is good for us and what may be harmful. For example, a fairly obscure passage in Job speaks to mean in any era having healthy relationships with women. In Job 31:1 the suffering man says, “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman.” Wow. So simple, yet very important and profound.That chapter goes on to say that God sees all that we do. He's watching how we treat people. Job made it clear that a man can decide he's going to treat women with respect. It isn't complicated or beyond our reach. So often, simply deciding to be a decent human being leads to waves of healing and peace of mind for everyone. Lots of books have been written about relationships, from marriage to raising children, but the best book of all has the best wisdom, and if you check that out, your relationships will thank you. Let's pray.Father God, you've given us the gift of interacting with other people. Each is unique and created special. We ask that you send the Holy Spirit to guide our relationships so that they're pleasing to you and to others. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Recently, through conversations with other awake and aware individuals, our DTTR panelists, I realized that our physical bodies often behave as if they are the boss of our experience, but they are not. Our soul is.The body makes demands, negotiates, complains, threatens, and tries to control outcomes. Often, this happens in a completely unconscious way. Sometimes it happens so subtly that the soul mistakes it for intuition, guidance, or inner knowing.But at other times, especially when the soul has conscious communication with the body, something I have been teaching for more than a decade, we can clearly hear it trying to make the soul comply. Things like, “We had an agreement,” “This is how it's always been done,” or even, “You're abusing me.” These are not necessarily communications. Often, they are attempts to regain authority. And often they are fear-based statements.How is it that the body acts like a bully when we are trying to empower ourselves and drop negative limitations, programs, and behaviors?Because the physical body was created within a light-dark paradigm, it naturally operates through power-over-others dynamics. As humanity shifts beyond that paradigm, many of our bodies resist. Change feels dangerous to them. Like a teenager throwing a tantrum, the body may use pain, fear, fatigue, aging, illness, or stored trauma to pull your attention and decisions back under its control.It needs to keep things the same. As far as it is concerned, change is not good. Particularly massive changes such as not aging or extending life far beyond what we currently consider possible. Yes, that is possible.This does not mean the body never provides useful information. Pain can be information. Exhaustion can be information. The key is learning the difference between information and manipulation.When the body reports conditions, listen. When it starts calling the shots, remember who the boss is.What does this look like?A feeling of exhaustion may simply be information. Extreme flu-like symptoms, brain fog, or confusion that appear at exactly the moment you need to take action may be something entirely different. When you look to see what is happening, the body might say, “We need to rest. You are working too much.”Who gave it permission to make those kinds of decisions for us?Well, we did, of course.Yet although it might feel like a good reason, and that we should have rested more so as not to get sick, the truth is that the body should not have taken us to that extreme. We, as souls, have complete control over our bodies. If we only knew how.Throughout history, advanced practitioners have demonstrated extraordinary influence over their physical bodies. They remind us that consciousness directs matter, not the other way around.The body is not the boss of our experience day to day, or even lifetime after lifetime. We are. The soul is.When a nasty physical symptom, fear, or limitation becomes the center of your attention, it often gains power. When you stop feeding it authority and reclaim your sovereignty, the dynamic changes.For example, I broke an ankle, but it did not actually stop me from doing the important things. The information came in that if I did not do what my body wanted, it would keep breaking bones until I complied.Wow.Well, I can work around that. It is not the first time my body has tried to force me to do things through extreme measures, including threatening to die and leave me behind so it could follow its own path. And it has not won.The body is not malicious. It is operating exactly as it was designed to operate. The problem is not that it bullies. The problem is that we believe it has the authority to do so.We need to remember that the body is running through a crust of low-frequency programs in order for us to have a light-dark experience. Bodies, like most of our souls, are fundamentally light-only. To have dark experiences, we incorporated artificial limitations and deeply restrictive programs into ourselves. We did this both in our bodies and our souls.And there is more.Aging, for example, is reinforced by collective beliefs and social programming. The body is so entrenched in these patterns that it has forgotten that alternatives exist.As Dr. Kara, one of our Driving To The Rez panelists, pointed out recently, when one program is removed, another often rushes in to take its place, she mentioned that it feels like when we remove the personal program, the social ones take over. It acts like a failsafe designed to keep those limiting programs intact in our co-created reality of light/dark.Iliana, another panelist, observed that this can feel like layers of programming, where removing one layer simply reveals another beneath it.Expanding beyond individual and social conditioning helps the body remember what it once knew. That limitations are choices, not inevitabilities written in stone. And that the soul is the one that has the authority to make those choices.This is possible because our body exists within our soul, not the other way around. Many limitations are not simply personal programs that we integrated into our own bodies. There are also social programs in there as well. Programs we agreed to in order to enter a light/dark experience.Also, as Larry pointed out in our conversation, the body's greatest trick is convincing us that it is the one making the decisions. Its favorite tools are pleasure, discomfort, fear, and distraction. Yet none of these make it the authority over our experience or reality. They are just ways to convince us, or bully us, into compliance.Listen to your body. Care for it. Support it. But do not confuse its voice with authority. Do not assume it knows what is best for you simply because it insists that it does.The body is your companion in this experience, not your master.The authority and decision-making have always belonged to you.The soul.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

You know it's time. The relationship, the self-talk, the job… maybe you've known for a while. And still, you haven't moved.In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun explores the question that's been showing up in client sessions, community conversations, and her own life lately: I know what I need. So why can't I get myself to move? Drawing on nervous system science, this episode offers a gentler way to meet the resistance that shows up right when we're trying to grow. Key TakeawaysYour nervous system ranks options by familiarity, not by what's best for you. A painful pattern has already been survived - your body has proof of that. A new path hasn't been tested yet, so your system defends what's known, even when it hurts.The old pattern is still giving you something, even while it costs you. This is secondary gain, and naming it honestly (without blame) is often the missing piece in understanding why you haven't moved yet.Change takes capacity, not willpower. If you're already running on empty, asking yourself to overhaul a relationship or rebuild your self-talk is asking a depleted system for more output with less fuel. Sometimes the most loving move is rebuilding capacity first.ResourcesThe Sacred Pause Half-Day Retreat in Clintonville (Columbus, OH):

What if the goal is not the problem, but the person pursuing it has not caught up yet? In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down the gap between desire, expectation, and execution. They talk about why bigger goals demand clearer thinking, higher standards, and daily choices that actually match the outcome you say you want.Through examples from business, coaching, fitness, and performance, they challenge the belief that success should come quickly or feel convenient. Shortcuts can make the path look easier than it is. Discipline tells the truth. If you want the next level, stop trying to lower the cost. Adjust the goal, or adjust yourself._______________________Join the "Next Level Fitness Accountability Group" – Reach out to Kevin or Alan on Instagram:Kevin: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/Alan: https://www.instagram.com/alazaros88/The “Next Level Hope Foundation” creates meaningful experiences for kids growing up without a father figure and builds a positive, supportive community around them.

Fear isn't the opposite of growth. It's the gatekeeper of it. Every hesitation before a risk, every excuse before a hard conversation, every night spent worrying about what others think.. These are more than subtle character flaws. They're ancient circuits doing exactly what they were designed to do. The real question is whether you understand your fear well enough to stop letting it make your decisions for you. In this episode, we explore the neuroscience behind the threat response — why trauma reshapes the brain, how anxiety disorders illuminate something true about all of us, and what it actually means to rewire the patterns that keep you small. Understanding fear is not a detour from building a better mindset. It is the path. The four core fears that explain almost every way we self-sabotage Why the brain's fear circuitry becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy — and how to interrupt it The shift from reactive to regulated: what the science says actually works The brain that learned to fear can also learn to grow — this episode shows you where to start NEW SHOW - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How to Change the World: The History and Future of Innovation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn about the evolving story of the human species and our ideas told in chronological order.

What happens when walking into a room means absorbing every ounce of tension, distress, and unsaid emotion inside it?Many of us are taught that great leadership requires carrying the emotional weight of our teams. We step in to smooth things over, fix conflicts that aren't ours to solve, and mistake constant rescue missions for true connection. The result isn't better leadership, it is exhaustion.In this episode, Amy sits down with global emotional intelligence and empathy expert Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller to map out a clear blueprint for protecting your energy without shutting out your humanity. Drawing from her raw pivot point out of a toxic workplace environment and later experiencing those same broken patterns in other work spaces, Dr. Melissa shares the definitive distinction between reading a room and taking responsibility for it.This conversation is a radical reframe on human connection. You will discover how to stand in your own power, deploy data-backed perspective-taking, and implement the boundaries necessary to stop treating everyone else's distress as your circus to fix.Moments That Create Momentum:The "Not My Circus" Rule: Why walking into a room and feeling everyone else's tension isn't a gift, it's a boundary failure that is secretly draining you.The Revenue Shield: The deeply unsettling reason why elite organizations intentionally protect toxic high-performers and narcissists.The Empathy Illusion: Dr. Melissa shares why empathy is passive, and how jumping straight into "fixing" things actually triggers misplaced, destructive compassion.The Danger of Being "Nice": Why standard corporate manners are often just a mask for insincerity, and the reason true kindness requires telling the ugly truth.The Self-Rescue Mandate: Why launching into service for others before mastering self-empathy is a fast track to destroying your own career.About the Guest:As professional musician, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller worked with major talent such as Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller. But cold and toxic leadership eventually robbed her of a career that was 30+ years in the making. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy. Today, she's an international bestselling author, Editor's Pick TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy. She's known for blending lived experience, academic depth, and a sharp, data-driven approach that not only makes sense but demystifies how empathy translates to better productivity, innovation, and profit. Her mission is to invite everyone to approach empathy as a strategic skill for every human-centric action, not only for others but also for ourselves, and to step up in the way the future of leadership demands.https://eqviaempathy.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-speaker-trainerhttps://www.instagram.com/empathyqueen.eqhttps://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpathicLeaderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoXSEWeILo&t=63shttps://geni.us/TheEmpathicLeaderAbout Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Start your day off on the right foot with Morning Affirmations – inspiring quotes and affirmations to help you make positive changes every day. Change your mindset, change your life.

A really cool thing about God is that He has a solution for literally every situation, and that includes mental health. We see this especially in the ministry of Jesus, who walked the land healing people of all sorts of terrible things. One day, He encountered a man driven insane by demons.Mark 5:15 says, “They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had the ‘legion'; and they became frightened.”The “Legion,” those who possessed this man's mind, were no match for Jesus, who simply commanded them to leave the man in peace. And they did!Now, not every mental health problem is related to possession. But mental illness is so devastating to the patient, family, and friends that it often feels like evil lives there.Not so in the peaceful kingdom of our Lord. If you or a loved one struggles with mental issues, ask the Lord to help you. He has done it many times. That man with the peaceful face and clear mind all those years ago is proof of that.Let's pray.Lord, you own the universe and can solve any problem. Please, especially today, be with those afflicted by mental illness. Come to them and comfort them and heal them. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What does it mean to be human? In a world flooded with information, competing narratives, emotional reactions, and constant division, that question may be more important than ever. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes listeners back to the fundamentals of human behavior, leadership, and relationships. Because before we can lead others, we need to understand ourselves. This episode explores some of the most important truths in the People Business: People are the greatest asset and greatest challenge in every organization We don't respond to reality—we respond to our map of reality Every behavior is driven by a belief system Identity shapes beliefs, beliefs shape behavior, and behavior shapes outcomes Mr. Black breaks down key principles from psychology, leadership, and emotional intelligence, including Robert Dilts' Logical Levels of Change, revealing why lasting transformation must begin at the identity level. You'll also discover: Why people often react to narratives more than facts How emotional contagion shapes culture and perception The dangers of attaching unhealthy labels to your identity Why emotional intelligence is becoming one of the most critical leadership skills of our time Joining the conversation is John CEniglia, President of SAT-7, sharing how Christians in Turkey are challenging stereotypes and changing perceptions through authentic conversations, storytelling, and faith-based media. At its core, this episode is about understanding people better: Why they think the way they do.Why they believe what they believe.Why emotions often overpower logic.And why leadership begins with winning the hearts and minds of people. Because every organization is in the people business. Every family is in the people business. Every leader is in the people business. And the better we understand what it means to be human, the better equipped we are to build healthier relationships, stronger cultures, and more meaningful lives. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Rob Brown spent over thirty five years as a diagnostic radiologist before becoming one of the most credible medical voices asking what wireless technology is actually doing to our bodies. In this conversation he and R dig past the attention debate into the hardware itself: the invisible energy your phone, router, and the antenna down the block are pushing into the room around you. His new book, Unplug, is out now. Rob explains why non ionizing radiation is not as harmless as physicists long claimed, shares the factory chicken analogy that explains why constant exposure leaves you depleted, and pulls apart the SAR safety rating as a red herring that measures only heat. The takeaway is practical: you cannot reach zero exposure, so build a clean, device-free sleep sanctuary where your body finally gets to recover. Key Insights Magnetic fields and EMFs interact with living biology. Rob's own knee healed under magnets, which first convinced him energy can affect tissue, for better and for worse. Non ionizing radiation can still cause harm. Metal ions and porphyrins in living cells make oxidative stress and membrane depolarization possible, even without ionization. The factory chicken model explains depletion, not disease. Constant exposure does not have to cause cancer to wear the body down. The SAR rating is a red herring. It only captures the heating effect and ignores stochastic, whole-body harm. Zero EMF is not the goal. A clean sleep environment is. Build a sleep sanctuary. Quick wins: phone out of the bedroom and on airplane mode, router off at night, no electronics where you sleep, and stop carrying your phone in your pocket. Even health devices leak signal. Choose the older plain-tube CPAP and skip the wireless data link. Change is more likely to come from market demand than regulation, so an informed public that asks for safer products is the real lever.

What makes us change – or not change?Change happens to all of us – but what actually happens to us when we change, and how does that change stick? Sometimes there isn't a clear answer, but Benoit Denizet-Lewis, associate professor at Emerson College and author of the book You've Changed: the Promise and Price of Self Transformation, tried to find out what makes change happen. He followed bullies who became Buddhists, gay atheists who became straight evangelicals, political party switchers, people in personality disorder therapy, and prisoners seeking parole.Brittany is joined by Benoit to find out how change happens to us – and how we understand personal transformation in our culture.For more episodes about how we change or how to make it happen, check out:This is your summer of self-loveFree will and the cult of "high agency"How to survive a millennial midlife crisisSupport Public Media.

Welcome back to Your World of Creativity, where we travel the globe talking with creative professionals who turn ideas into impact.In recent episodes, we've explored creativity through design, dance, music, and innovation—how ideas come to life across disciplines.Today, we're taking that conversation inside the organization. Because creativity isn't just about what you make—it's about how you lead, how you adapt, and how you bring people with you.We're focusing on what it really means to perform at your very best, especially during moments of transition, uncertainty, and transformation.Our guest is Stephen Frenkel, a coach and consultant with more than 25 years of experience in leadership development, team optimization, conflict resolution, and change management. He brings a systems-thinking approach to help organizations clarify where they're going, what's getting in the way, and how to move forward with purpose.Stephen is also a contributing author to Lives Lost and Leadership Found, a powerful collection exploring how grief and loss shape leadership.Stephen's Websitehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-frenkel-voyager/1. Defining “At Their Very Best”Stephen, you help leaders and teams “be their very best.” That's a powerful phrase—but it can mean different things to different people.How do you help leaders define what “their very best” actually looks like—and why is that clarity so critical before any real progress can happen?2. What Gets in the Way Once that vision is clear, the next step is identifying what's getting in the way.From your experience, what are the most common obstacles—whether at the individual, team, or organizational level—that prevent people from performing at their best?And how do you begin to surface those issues in a way that people are willing to address?3. Systems Thinking + Team Performance You take a systems-thinking approach, which I find really compelling.How does looking at the whole system—instead of just individuals or isolated problems—change the way leaders approach team effectiveness, culture, and performance?Can you share an example where that shift in perspective made a meaningful difference?4. Conflict, Change, and Creative Tension You've spent a lot of your career working in conflict resolution and change management.Many leaders try to avoid conflict—but I suspect you see it differently.How can leaders reframe conflict as something productive—or even creative—and what are some practical ways to navigate tension during periods of change? Stephen says he often refers to the book, Getting To Yes by Roger Fisher and William L. Ury.https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-Without/dp/01431187575. Leadership, Loss, and Perspective You contributed to a recent book, Lives Lost and Leadership Found, where leaders reflect on how loss shapes their leadership.What inspired you to share your story—and what did that process unlock for you, personally or professionally?And how has that experience influenced how you show up today as a coach, advisor, and leader?Closing QuestionStephen, for leaders listening today—especially those navigating change or uncertainty—what's one question they should be asking themselves right now to move closer to being “at their very best”?Thanks for joining us on Your World of Creativity.If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, share, and leave a review.And remember — creativity isn't just about ideas. It's about how you lead, adapt, and move forward.

The Addicted Mind Podcast: How a Little Becomes a Lot with Eric ZimmerIn this episode, Duane welcomes back Eric Zimmer, host of The One You Feed podcast, behavior coach, and author of the new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life.Eric shares his profound journey from being a homeless heroin addict facing 50 years in prison to building a deeply meaningful life in long-term recovery. Together, Duane and Eric break down why massive life transformations don't happen overnight, but are instead built on thousands of microscopic daily decisions. They explore how to navigate behavioral "choice points," overcome the trap of perfectionism, and beautifully balance the duality of acceptance and change.Key Takeaways from the EpisodeThe Fallacy of the "Big Moment": While "moments of clarity" are real and pivotal, they only matter if they are backed up by small, daily actions over time.Change is a Skill: Struggling to change a habit is not a character flaw or a sign of laziness; it is a skill set that must be practiced and learned.The Autopilot Pitfall: Many of our worst habits occur completely outside of our conscious awareness. Learning to slow down and introduce deliberation is key to making better choices.The 80% Rule: Except for active substance addiction, striving for 80% consistency in life (exercise, meditation, healthy eating) protects you from the self-sabotage of perfectionism.Puzzles Over Problems: Shifting your perspective from "I have a problem" to "I have a puzzle" opens the door to curiosity and solutions rather than shame.In-Depth Discussion TopicsAt 24 years old, Eric was a homeless heroin addict, weighing 100 pounds, jaundiced from Hepatitis C, and facing severe prison time. When he finally agreed to long-term treatment, it wasn't his first attempt. Eric explains how his previous "failures" to stay clean were actually an essential part of his learning process.Mastering "Choice Points"A choice point is that exact split-second where you either move toward your best self or fall back into old behaviors. Eric notes that relying purely on willpower at a choice point is a losing game. Instead, behavior change requires two distinct layers:Structural Elements: This includes your support system, clear protocols, accountability partners, and removing triggers from your environment.In-the-Moment Skills: This involves recognizing self-doubt, slowing down the urge, and learning how to "trick" yourself into taking action by shrinking the task (e.g., just putting on your running shoes to walk to the mailbox)."The music producer Quincy Jones has this line, and I love it. He says, 'I don't have problems, I have puzzles.' There's a shift in there that's really important, because a puzzle has a solution. It has an answer. We just haven't figured it out yet." — Eric ZimmerMoving Beyond the Self-Improvement ProjectThe episode wraps up with a deep dive into the final chapters of Eric's book, focusing on presence and radical acceptance. While it seems counterintuitive for a book about behavior change to end on "allowing everything to be exactly as it is," Eric explains that treating your life as a non-stop self-improvement project strips away contentment. True healing happens when we can skillfully change what we can, while holding space for our pain, low moods, and current realities without judgment.Framework: The 80% Rule vs. The Perfection MindsetThe Perfection MindsetThe 80% Consistency FrameworkViews every slip-up as a total failure.Views slip-ups as temporary data points and "puzzle pieces."Relies heavily on high motivation and intense willpower.Relies on structural support, habits, and reducing friction.Leads to burnout, self-sabotage, and quitting.Leads to long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes."If I can't do it perfectly, why bother?""If I can just hit 80% consistency over a year, I'm winning."Resources Mentioned in this EpisodeEric Zimmer's Website: oneyoufeed.net (Find his podcast, behavior coaching program, and new book)Eric's Book:How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life – A Guide to Lasting Transformation Through Behavioral Science and WisdomThe Addicted Mind Website: theaddictedmind.comFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

We're celebrating PFN's birthday by shining a light on the partners who have been part of our journey toward people-first leadership, meaningful work, and purpose-driven impact. This special feature from The Shift with Mindy Honcoop and Marnie Robbins captures the heart of their work and the shared mission that brings us together. Enjoy! — Change is coming fast, and managers are feeling every ounce of it. Marnie and Mindy sit down with Ali Merchant, founder of All-In Manager and author of "The All-In Manager", to unpack what leaders are missing in the rush toward AI transformation. Ali brings a grounded, people-first perspective on why managers cannot keep being treated as the catch-all solution for engagement, transformation, culture, and performance without meaningful support. Together, they explore why AI adoption is not just a tech rollout, but a change management and culture challenge. From "modeling over mandates" to psychological safety, shadow AI, blameless retrospectives, and the power of discernment, this conversation is a practical reminder that the future of work still depends on deeply human leadership.   Additional Resources: Connect with Mindy on LinkedIn Connect with Marnie on LinkedIn Learn more about AltHR Listen to The Shift wherever you get your podcasts!

Model AI adoption before mandating it. Psychological safety fuels experimentation and learning. Discernment is the new leadership superpower.

Strength needs standards. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan clarify the difference between toxic masculinity and healthy masculine leadership. They unpack why confidence, tenacity, and directness can support success, but only when they are grounded in humility, self-awareness, values, and respect.Drawing from coaching conversations, client patterns, and years of personal development work, they challenge the idea that strength requires arrogance or aggression. Real strength is not about getting yours at everyone else's expense. It is about staying steadfast without becoming selfish, telling the truth without using it as a weapon, and building a better life without making the room smaller. Do not follow the loudest man in the room. Study the one who does not need volume to prove strength._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.
