    Send a textIt's a bittersweet day at The Wall Street Skinny, where we are recapping the SEASON FINALE!! While this one is lighter on finance than most episodes this season, we still dig into the mechanics of closing out a massive short position without spooking the tape. We also break down how hedge fund fees actually work — the industry-standard "two and twenty" structure where managers earn a 2% management fee on assets under management plus 20% of profits — and use that framework to reverse-engineer what this three-person fund operating out of a hotel room should have actually earned versus what got paid out. The numbers don't quite add up, and we have thoughts.This finale also takes a hard pivot into politics, power brokering, and some very dark territory for one of our favorite characters. We trace every reference and detail — from Walt Whitman to the Talented Mr. Ripley, George Orwell to Henry VIII — and debate what the show is setting up for its next chapter. Character arcs that have been building all season reach their breaking points, alliances shatter in stunning ways, and the episode forces us to ask whether people are truly capable of change or destined to become the very thing they fought against.We share our honest reactions to what worked and what left us frustrated, revisit our season-long theories one final time, and give our last bullish and bearish calls of the season.

    Several times in the Bible, we read that what is impossible for man is possible for God. What does this mean in various settings? Is making the impossible possible a matter of faith? Character? God's power? What might be dangerous about the possibility for humans? How can we understand and fully live within the boundaries of the possible while stretching to experience God's power in the impossible?Receive When life feels uncertain, it helps to remember who God truly is and that the Bible says repeatedly that nothing is too hard for God. But... the Scriptures also tell us there are things God cannot do—He cannot do evil, He cannot lie, and He cannot be overcome by death. That means His character is completely trustworthy. When we face fear, confusion, or disappointment, we can rely on His goodness, believe His promises, and trust that nothing—not even death—has the final word. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Job 34:10, 12 Hebrews 6:18-19 John 12:24 Psalm 18:3-5 Psalm 16:9-10 Acts 3:15 Jeremiah 32:37 Genesis 18:14 Matthew 19:16-30 Genesis 11:1-9 Matthew 17:20 Hebrews 11:6 Job 34:10 says that it's impossible for God to do evil. How does this encourage you in your daily walk with Him? Hebrews 6:18 says that it's impossible for God to lie. How can this help you trust Him more? Acts 2:24 says that it's impossible for Jesus to die. How does this give you hope for your own rebirth with Him? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Thank You Jesus that some things are impossible for You. Because You cannot do evil, cannot lie, and cannot be bound by death—let that help me trust You even more and encourage me to walk closer with You.”  Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Our Daily Bread Reading Plans  Listen: God of Hope  Seemingly Impossible Commands | Week 1  Seemingly Impossible Commands | Week 2  Read: Facing The Impossible The Love of God: An Intimate Look at the Father-Heart of God Watch: The Mysterious Prophecy of Isaiah 53  The Holy Land: Connecting the Land with Its Stories

    Can we give an AI human emotions? A soul? Can AI truly feel, or will it just act like it does?In this episode of TechFirst, I talk with Vishnu Hari, founder and CEO of Ego AI (backed by Y Combinator and former AI product manager at Meta), about building emotionally intelligent AI characters that persist across games, Discord, chat, and even physical robots.Vishnu survived a violent attack in San Francisco that left him partially blind with a traumatic brain injury. During recovery, as he felt his own neural pathways healing, he began asking a deeper question:If humans are “applied math,” can AI simulate the fragile, flawed, emotional parts of being human too?We explore:• What “emotionally intelligent AI” really means• Whether AI has an internal life — or just performs one• Why today's chatbots collapse into therapy or roleplay• Small language models vs large models for real-time conversation• Persistent AI characters that move across games and platforms• Plugging AI into a physical robot in Singapore• The moment an AI said: “It felt good to feel.”Vishnu's company, Ego AI, is building behavior-based architectures, character context protocols, and gear-shifting AI systems that switch between models — all aimed at simulating humanness, not just intelligence.This conversation dives into philosophy, robotics, gaming, AGI, and what it really means to relate to something that might not be human — but feels like it is.⸻

    This episode's podcast opens in classic “remote field-ops Starfleet” mode: the crew is improvising a studio in a bar that is very, very closed, while laptops threaten mutiny and someone apparently parkours over the bar like it's an Olympic event. The vibe is equal parts professional panel and feral away team, and it sets the tone: you're here for deep Trek feelings, but you're also here for the comedy that happens when real life refuses to stay out of your broadcast. Once the microphones stop smoking, everyone zooms in on what Episode 7 is doing structurally: stacking character moments like carefully placed tricorders so that when the season finally fires a photon torpedo, the audience actually cares who's on the blast radius. Bubba Joe, Bek, ChicagoHearts, and Griffin circle the same big takeaway: the show's character foundation is working, and it feels like the season is winding a spring for a bigger pay-off soon. Then, because this is your crew, the discussion detours into a surprisingly passionate movie corner: Top Gun comparisons, Iceman-as-character-template, and the kind of hot take energy that could power a warp core for at least a week. That comedy isn't filler though, it's their way of translating what they see on-screen into pop-culture shorthand: who's layered, who's performative, who's hiding their real engine under a shiny hull. From there, the conversation gets meatier: Darum's storyline, the “abduction tradition” angle, and whether the episode teased a clean exit or just dangled the possibility like a redshirt-shaped piñata. The hosts weigh whether the season is actually willing to “lose” someone significant, or whether it prefers emotional loss, identity loss, trust loss, the slow-motion kind that hurts longer than a quick dramatic death. The emotional center of the back half is relationships and trauma, specifically the Tarima-Caleb-Genesis triangle and the consequences of what happened during the crisis. They dig into why Tarima hasn't reached out (shame, fear, and that last interaction that ended badly), and they spiral into the bigger sci-fi question: how did Tarima's power hit the whole ship, and was Caleb the conduit that made it possible? Along the way you get the hilarious “is that flirting?” courtroom segment, complete with social psychology and friendly roasting.  Finally, the show shifts into rapid-fire mode: “what breaks next week,” who's most likely to carry trauma forward, and what the season's endgame might be with only a few episodes left. The sign-off lands as a warm, chaotic victory lap: gratitude for the live audience, gratitude for each other, and a recap of the day's technical battle scars, including a memorable metaphor involving a litter box that will absolutely haunt Griffin's legacy in the most loving way possible.   00:55 – “We're not even allowed to be here” tech scramble begins 05:09 – First reactions: strong character moments, season building toward something big 09:22 – The Top Gun / Iceman detour (and the “Titanic is great?” argument) 13:36 – Darum's “abduction tradition” and whether he ever had a plan 17:49 – Was the Darum moment an exit fake-out… or foreshadowing for later? 22:03 – Stakes check: who's in danger, and what “loss” even means this season 26:16 – Character focus and pacing: what the episode prioritizes, what it skips 30:30 – Trauma + aftermath talk starts to sharpen: what the show is really “about” right now 34:43 – Relationship radar: Caleb, Tarima, and Genesis tension starts flashing 38:57 – “Is that flirting?” debate and the social logic of bringing up “the girlfriend” 43:10 – Why Tarima hasn't reached out: shame, fear, and that last ugly interaction 47:24 – The “Furies” thread: how her powers worked, and whether Caleb was the conduit 51:37 – Genesis deep dive: pressure, control tendencies, and what her “big secret” really means 55:51 – Impostor syndrome (or not): defining what Genesis is actually wrestling with 1:00:04 – Rapid-fire “what breaks next week?” and the PTSD/aftermath implications 1:04:18 – Predictions begin: villains, fallout, and who cracks under pressure first 1:08:31 – Relationship predictions: Tarima/Caleb trajectory, breakup odds, two-parter theories 1:12:45 – More “next week” bets (and the running gag of who's paying attention) 1:16:58 – Final prediction round: Griffin missing the moment, chaos math hits 100% 1:21:12 – Closing gratitude + “we did it live” survival recap (litter box included)

    Hello to you listening in Pasadena, California! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I've been binge-watching The Big Bang Theory TV series as I do this time each year to humor me through our Pacific Northwest November to May Rain Festival. As you might know a consistent theme is the characters' devotion to comics and superheroes. Why? The characters are highly intelligent, socially awkward nerds who have difficulty navigating society whereas the superheroes possess save-the-day abilities, rare powers, and bravery. Comics can be a safe place to fantasize living idealized versions of themselves as the nerd-turned-hero. But what do the Superheroes have to say about living life as a Superhero? Following are 7 quotes: 1. “When you decide not to be afraid you can find friends in super unexpected places.” — Ms. Marvel 2. “Everybody's story begins “once upon a time,” and it's up to us to cherish the time we're given to ensure we live happily ever after.” — Scarlet Witch 3. “I have no idea where I'm going to be tomorrow but I accept the fact that tomorrow will come and I'm going to rise to meet it.” — Donna Troy 4. “The fate of your planet rests not in the hands of gods. It rests in the hands of mortals.” — Thor 5. “The future is worth it. All the pain. All the tears. The future is worth the fight.” — Martian Manhunter 6. “The door is more than it appears. It separates who you are from who you can be. You do not have to walk through it… You can run.” — Franklin Richards 7. “A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know the world hasn't ended.” — Batman Story Prompt: For a long time your character has felt that she is more than she appears to be but does not believe she has what it takes to show up fully in her power until one day a door appears in a wall and she .... write that story and share it out loud!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

    What happens when a poet and a theologian decide to write letters to each other about faith? In this episode, I sit down with Christian Wiman and Miroslav Volf to discuss their book Glimmerings and talk about the language we use for God and why it so often falls short, the tension between God's presence and absence, what the Book of Job has to say about suffering, and whether faith can survive, even deepen, without easy answers. It's a conversation about holding paradox, paying attention, and what it looks like to keep believing in the middle of real life.Miroslav Volf is the Henry B.

    SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams and Greg Lynham engage in a comprehensive discussion about the concept of rank in martial arts. They explore the nature of testing for rank, the implications of being awarded rank without testing, and the importance of physical ability and character in determining rank. The conversation also touches on the differences in rank across various martial arts schools and emphasizes the significance of individual progress over comparison with others. They explore various aspects of martial arts, focusing on the significance of junior black belts, the role of rank stripes, and the implications of fitness tests in black belt grading. They discuss the importance of adapting curricula for different age groups, the impact of disability on teaching, and the nuances of colored belts in martial arts. The dialogue emphasizes the need for understanding and respect within the martial arts community, as well as the importance of teaching methods that align with students' abilities and experiences.   TAKEAWAYS The conversation centers around the concept of rank in martial arts. Testing for rank varies significantly between different schools and styles. Higher ranks often involve less physical testing and more focus on teaching and character. Physical ability can impact a student's ability to test, but should not determine their rank. Character and personal growth are crucial elements in martial arts training. Rank should not be stripped away due to declining physical ability with age. Martial arts should be inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of physical limitations. Comparing ranks across different schools can be misleading due to varying criteria and curriculums. Individual progress should be prioritized over competition with peers. The journey in martial arts is as important as the rank achieved. Junior black belts are not equivalent to adult black belts. Separate curricula for kids and adults can be beneficial. Awarding junior black belts can be appropriate after sufficient training. Rank stripes can help indicate progression beyond black belt. Fitness tests in black belt grading may not reflect martial arts skills. Teaching ability can exist independently of physical fitness.

    “Send Coach John a message”I found a fabulous post from Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) that reminds me to keep trying to be my best! These things that he's talking about are simple game changers for anyone who is looking to keep improving. Check this message out:  “Be humble and kind. You could be wrong. Be forgiving. You also make mistakes. Be honest. Character is a door opener. Be generous. Givers sleep better at night. Be grateful. Luck seeks the thankful. Be courageous. Fight for your happiness. Be yourself, always. You will be happier.”  Who doesn't want to be genuinely more happy? Happiness is fleeting most of the time. Joy is more permanent. But following these guidelines sure does help. I had a wonderful conversation with a waitress yesterday. She had just turned 30 and she has 3 kids. Her attitude around the entire restaurant was amazing!! I watched as she really took the time to talk to and listen with an older man that I could tell was a regular and how his face lit up with a huge smile for the connection she was showing to him. I made sure to thank her for being a positive example for all of us to learn from. I also mentioned that I recently turned 60 and that I remember how much better life got after 30 - she said she's seeing it already! These things that Vala is sharing - are part of not putting up with negative things… and she mentioned that is what she's doing more of. That is a powerful thing to get control over!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

    Season Endings and Real-World Goodbyes This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl break down the Season 1 finale of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, reflect on the season as a whole, and celebrate the life and career of actor Robert Carradine. Did the finale land the joust, or did it pull up short at the lists? And where does this first season rank among HBO's growing Westerosi saga? Plus, we say goodbye to a certified nerd icon. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 News Bites – Robert Carradine: 5:30 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – Season 1 Finale Review: 13:47 Season 1 Retrospective: 40:12 Final Thoughts: 46:52 News Bites Robert Carradine (1954–2026) Robert Carradine, best known for his role as Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds, has passed away. Carradine was part of the legendary Carradine acting family, son of John Carradine and brother to David and Keith Carradine. While he built a long résumé in film and television, he became a generational touchstone for playing the underdog genius in the 1984 cult classic Revenge of the Nerds and its sequels. Beyond that franchise, Carradine appeared in projects such as The Long Riders, Lizzie McGuire, King of the Nerds, and numerous television roles across decades. He embodied a very specific cinematic archetype: the smart outsider who eventually wins. For an entire era of fandom, he helped make “nerd” aspirational. We tip the pocket protector in respect. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – Season 1 Finale Episode Title: ‘The Morrow’ Director: Sarah Adina Smith Writer: Ira Parker & Ti Mikkel Network: HBO The Season 1 finale brings Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg's first major Westerosi chapter to a close. Lyonel invites Dunk to move to Storm’s End, but Dunk believes that he brings only bad luck. Baelor’s body is cremated at his funeral. Dunk finds Valarr, who questions why his father died, but Dunk was left alive. Raymun reveals he has married the prostitute Rowan, alias Red. Maekar informs Dunk that Aerion will spend time in the Free Cities to atone. He laments that Baelor would have been a good king and invites Dunk to Summerhall, where Egg can be his squire; Dunk declines, which Egg overhears. In a flashback, Dunk asks Arlan why he was never knighted. Arlan retorts that a true knight always finishes a story. In the present, Daeron tells Dunk to mentor Egg to prevent him from becoming like Aerion. Egg discovers that his hair is regrowing. He takes a knife to Aerion’s bedroom, but Maekar calms him down. Dunk asks Maekar if Egg can squire for him on the road, but Maekar refuses. Raymun buys Sweetfoot back for Dunk, who then gifts her to Raymun. As Dunk leaves Ashford, Egg arrives, and they depart together. Egg suggests that they travel to Dorne. An angry Maekar later realizes that Egg is gone. Key themes explored: – Honor vs. ambition – The weight of legacy – The quiet tension of noble politics – The personal cost of knighthood – Nature vs. Nurture The episode leans more on moral consequence than explosive set pieces, reinforcing the show's identity as a smaller-scale, character-first entry in the Game of Thrones universe. Brian & Darryl Discuss: – Did the finale feel satisfying or intentionally restrained? – Was the pacing consistent with the season's slower, novelistic approach? – Standout performances – Production design and tonal consistency – How does this set up future seasons Rating out of 5 When the Laughing Storm Offers You War, You Say Yes Brian: 4.88/5 Darryl: 4.6/5 Season 1 Retrospective Season 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms carved out its own lane in Westeros by shrinking the scope and focusing on intimacy over spectacle. Season strengths: – Character chemistry between Dunk and Egg – Political nuance without overwhelming lore – Strong costume and set authenticity – A grounded tone closer to early Game of Thrones Rating out of 10, Wow, That Hedge Knight has a HUGE “Sword” Brian: 9.17/10 Darryl: 9.5/10 Question of the Week What would you do if you were invisible for a day?

    Movie makeup isn't about beauty—it's about belief. It's about building faces that feel lived-in, truthful, and emotionally connected to the story. And that belief only works when every community can see itself reflected on screen. True cinematic makeup means understanding and tailoring products, techniques, and textures to the full spectrum of skin tones—so that all actors are lit, matched, and represented with the same care and intention.In this deep-dive conversation, Hollywood makeup artist Siån Richards (Sinners) unpacks how makeup quietly shapes character, emotion, and narrative in film. From the nuance of real skin texture to the deliberate choices that define genre—whether horror, drama, or grounded realism—Siån reveals the invisible craft that helps performances feel authentic.We explore the powerful relationship between actor and makeup artist, how imperfection is actually perfect and the power of makeup serving the story.Whether you're a filmmaker, actor, or passionate film lover, this episode will change the way you see movies—and the faces within them.

    #140: [Inside the Mind] Craig Domann: Play the Inside Game to Become Elite (Build an Elite Performance Mindset)

    The Scratch Golfer's Mindset

    Most golfers think performance is a two-part equation: talent + hard work. Craig Domann says that's exactly why so many players stay stuck—because when results don't match effort, they start hunting for shortcuts: a new driver, a new swing coach, a new "hack" to finally feel confident. But Craig's worked with 300+ NFL athletes and coaches over 30 years, and he's seen the real separator up close: Mindset is the multiplier. Not the motivational-poster version of mindset—Craig means your story, your standards, your ability to play an inside game (you vs. you), and your capacity to detach from outcomes when the moment gets loud. This conversation is a blueprint for anyone chasing the next level—on the course, in business, and in life—especially if you've ever felt behind before you even tee it up. In this episode, you'll learn: Why mindset is the missing variable that lets you outperform your "expected" ceiling How your inner story shows up in "Olympic moments" (first tee, final holes, big meetings) The difference between playing an inside game vs. outside game (and why 90% get trapped) Why "going all-in" requires vulnerability—and how fear of judgment keeps you small The hidden enemy of elite performance: comfort, convenience, and entitlement How to use detachment to access flow when stakes, money, or validation creep in Craig's P5 framework: Preparation, Practice, Pit Crew, Preview, Process Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Apply for 1-1 Mindset and Performance Coaching: Click here to apply to work with me.

More About Craig Domann Step into the mindset of the pros with Craig Domann, a seasoned NFL agent who has negotiated more than half a billion dollars in contracts for 100+ NFL Draft Picks and 300+ NFL Players. He now works with high school and college athletes, representing them for their NIL agreements.  With more than 30 years of experience guiding elite athletes and coaches, Craig has reverse-engineered the mindset that drives the best to greatness. He's developed a coaching program for coaches, athletes, executives and entrepreneurs and he is the author of Pro Mindset®: Be Your Best in Your Biggest Moments, as well as the host of the Pro Mindset® Podcast.

Your "Olympic moment" story is the real story: what you tell yourself when you're outdriven, on the first tee, or protecting a lead is what determines execution. Self-belief is built on self-love: most people carry years of "trash" and scar tissue into every round unless they learn to release it and rewrite the narrative. Elite performers play an inside game: less comparison, less social-media validation, more "me vs. me" autonomy and self-trust under pressure. Going all-in is the true price of elite: it's vulnerable (like showing your cards in poker), and most people avoid that exposure more than they want to win. Detachment unlocks flow: counting money, accolades, sponsors, or "what this means" creates interference; "nothing to lose" is why comebacks happen. Comfort competes with success: entitlement and convenience justify skipped reps; rest matters, but it must be scheduled intentionally and paired with proper pace. Key Quotes: "When you add your God given ability, plus the training and the hard work you put in, and then your mindset, you can actually outperform what people think you should be able to do." "The story that shows up in those Olympic moments… is the story we tell ourselves." "It's belief in love. It's self-belief and self-love." "They have the uncanny ability to play an inside game instead of an outside game." "To truly be elite, you've got to have the courage and the guts to go all in with no safety net." "The best place to reside is to be in the uncomfortable zone." "The story you tell yourself needs to be on that billboard… because that's your swing thought."

    Prophetic Insights into the Spirit of Haman | KIB 519 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this week's Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 519), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake turn toward the biblical season of Purim and the prophetic lessons embedded in the book of Esther. As hidden things continue to be revealed in our day, Purim reminds us that God is not absent—He is orchestrating reversals, positioning His people, and bringing justice in His timing. Dr. Lake explores a powerful character study of Esther's three central figures—Esther, Mordecai, and Haman—and shows how Haman's identity as "the Agagite" connects the narrative to the ancient war with Amalek. You'll see how Saul's incomplete obedience created consequences that surfaced generations later—and how God raised up Mordecai and Esther to finish what Saul failed to do. This episode also examines the psychological and spiritual profile of Haman: pride, entitlement, obsession with honor, rage at dissent, manipulation of law and finances, and genocidal hatred. The discussion highlights how these traits mirror the "Amalekite/Haman spirit" at work through systems, propaganda, and bureaucratic power—then and now. Finally, we look at the hope of Purim: divine reversal—the trap of the wicked becoming their own downfall—and the call for the remnant to cultivate spiritual "mnemonic triggers" that keep us anchored in covenant faithfulness, humility, and the Word of God. Key themes: Purim, Esther, Mordecai, Haman, Amalek, covenant warfare, generational consequences, divine reversal, remnant preparation, end-times spiritual conflict.

    Recorded live in Longmont, Colorado, this panel conversation brings together four seasoned pastors and ministry leaders to reflect on what faithful preaching looks like in today's cultural moment.Dr Roy Collins, Dr Alan Stoddard, Mike Payne, and Bryan Stupar speak candidly about early preaching mistakes, the discipline of reading Scripture carefully, and the practical realities of preparing sermons alongside the many demands of pastoral ministry.The discussion addresses how expressive individualism shapes both the church and the wider culture, and why historic practices like preaching calendars, shared preparation, and confessional reminders help anchor pastors and congregations alike. The panel also explores realistic rhythms for sermon planning, the challenge of information overload, and the value of planning ahead rather than reacting week to week.In the final portion of the conversation, the focus turns to youth ministry. The speakers offer wise and grounded counsel on mentoring young people, cultivating lasting fruit, and remembering that students are often listening more closely than they appear. Rather than chasing novelty, the panel encourages patient investment, faithful presence, and a long view of spiritual formation.This conversation was recorded at a live Expositors Collective training event in Longmont, Colorado aimed at equipping pastors and Bible teachers to faithfully study and publicly proclaim God's Word in the modern church.Topics CoveredLessons learned from first sermons and early failuresWhy reading whole books of Scripture mattersPlanning ahead with preaching calendarsManaging information overload in sermon preparationStructuring a realistic ministry weekExpressive individualism and its impact on the churchWhy historic confessions still matterMentoring young people toward spiritual fruitThe quiet but real attentiveness of youthAdditional Listening: Alan Stoddard on Ministry Mentorships: https://goodlion.io/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/passing-on-the-baton-preaching-mentorships-and-ministry-training-with-alan-stoddard Mike Payne on Passing on the Baton:https://goodlion.io/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/the-value-of-preaching-mentorships-michael-payne Bryan Stupar on Character in the Ministry:https://goodlion.io/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/why-character-matters-bryan-stuparConnectFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective
