Along the way I'll share with you why atheists need the Bible to be true, but of course they don't want to admit that.Watch my whole Apologetics Answers playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfSpUNYR5qo6sv8Pk8x0tmaq8lLQHHlTm&si=FlnSB-pBhZ6SSaJE==============================♱ SUBSTACK: Read weekly articles to help you learn and grow: https://thethinkinstitute.substack.com/♱ CHURCH TRAINING: Bring an IMPACTFUL weekend training event to your church or ministry ➡️ https://thethink.institute/forchurches♱ SOCIETY: Christian men get equipped for their Christian life, in community.

This month on Ask Rick, Rick Schmidt from National Parts Depot joins us for a St. Patrick's Day edition covering everything from green cars and Guinness to real-world business questions. We discuss whether presidential addresses truly move the needle for business decisions, what the current tariff situation looks like on Taiwanese restoration sheetmetal, and how NPD is handling pricing in real time. We also dive into the growing conversation around Chinese electric vehicles entering the U.S. market — and whether joint ventures with American automakers make that inevitable. Plus, Rick tackles a thoughtful listener question about selling a company to employees with no family successor, and we close with a truck-heavy investment showdown: custom builds under $75K and which ones make the smartest five-year bet. Insightful, practical, and always honest — it's classic Ask Rick from start to finish. The post TMCP #640: Ask Rick — Green Cars, Tariffs on Taiwan, Chinese EV Rumors, and the Best Trucks to Buy Now first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

A new breed of “micro-indie” publisher is emerging: teams that fund sub-$200K games, ship fast, and treat releases like a portfolio. In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, VP at Medal, sits down with Kirill Akimkin, founder of Polden Publishing, to unpack the world of micro indies and discovery. In 2025, they shipped almost 8 games with $800K and plan to ship 20 titles in 2026. Kirill explains that much of their developer pipeline is inbound: a Telegram-led media presence brings developers to them, and that they are more “researchers” than experts, with strict KPIs for a game's release. We discuss their genre strategy, developer strategy, and more.The conversation then turns to discovery, both outside Steam and building towards the Steam algorithm for wishlists. Kirill frames marketing as a repeatable machine: short-form content, creators, and community spikes are used to drive consistent wishlist velocity, which then feeds Steam's surfaces (Discovery Queue, Popular Upcoming, demo visibility, and post-launch recommendations) and the duo discuss case studies of Fish Hunters, Totally Secure Airport (which got 75K+ wishlists in on day), and Final Sentance. They close with questions on where discovery happens, what today's games in micro indies indicate about modern-day gamers' tastes, and the perception of AI in low-budget titles. If you are shipping a PC game on Steam this year, this is a must-listen. We'd like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible. If you're a PC gamer and want to clip your moments or a studio, publisher, or marketer looking to reach a high-quality gaming audience and get your game in front of the right players, check out all Medal has to offer at https://grow.medal.tv.If you like the episode, please help others find us by leaving a 5-star rating or review!

After 7 years and hundreds of conversations with successful entrepreneurial Christian women, I saw a pattern that HAD to be confronted: money guilt, ambition shame, and a quiet aversion to wealth — even among women generating $250K, $400K, $700K. We are not called to shrink around money. We are not called to apologize for the ambition God Himself placed in us. And we are certainly not called to play small to make others (or ourselves) comfortable. If you've ever wrestled with "how much is too much," this one will recalibrate you. This is for the successful entrepreneurial woman who knows she's destined for more & ready to: • Release guilt around success • Reject performative wealth • Build generational impact • Operate fully in her Christ-identity • Make millions without loving money Wealth is not about "getting rich." It's about refusing to cap what God wants to bless with more. Hear me, sister: It is safe. It is godly. It is aligned.... To become a wealthy woman of faith.

The crypto markets are in the midst of absolute madness, and this episode of The Crypto Rundown breaks down every twist and turn of this high-stakes soap opera. Host Mark Longo is joined by Bill Ulivieri of Cenacle Capital Management to dissect a week that saw Bitcoin plunge to $60K only to stage a dramatic turnaround. In this episode, we dive deep into the "MSTR Effect"—has MicroStrategy officially stolen the throne from Coinbase as the crypto market's primary bellwether? We explore the massive volatility spikes, the impact of "vibe coding" on market analysis, and the surprising resilience of the IBIT ETF during a period of intense capitulation. In This Episode: Bitcoin Breakdown: Analyzing the 10,000-point swing from $60K back to $75K and the "widows and orphans" state of BTC volatility compared to equity proxies. The MSTR Drama: A look at Michael Saylor's relentless buying and why MicroStrategy might be the "amplified" crypto play of the decade. Altcoin Universe: Why Ethereum (ETH) found a "perfect trend line" at $1,700 and why Bill is eyeing the Canton Network (CC) as a hidden institutional gem. 0DTE in IBIT: How the addition of intra-week expirations is changing the game for premium harvesters. Circle (CRCL) & Beyond: Analyzing the wreckage in Solana, XRP, and Doge, and finding the deals hidden in the firestorm.

95% of entrepreneurs skip 2 marketing foundations (that make everything else work). Instead, they rush to content, funnels. visibility. But without these 2 foundational marketing elements in place? You'll stay scrollable. Forgettable. Unbooked. In this episode, I reveal what those 2 are—and lay out exactly how to build a marketing engine that fills your pipeline & your client list (while you enjoy a 4-day workweek). Next Steps:
This sales training takes you inside an intimate client space. And it's not another generic "how to sell" talk.

The hosts dive into Bitcoin's volatility below $75K, dissect the explosive CZ vs Star Twitter battle over who caused the 10/10 liquidation cascade, debate the ethics of founder secondary sales with passionate disagreement, and explore the surprising crypto connections in the newly released Epstein files including Tarun's unexpected cameo.

Your offer not converting like clockwork? — this is why. Everything you've been taught about offer creation.... Surface-level at best. Wrong at worst. Most coaches focus on what's inside the offer. They tell you to "just speak to the transformation." They recycle the same copy-paste hooks.
If you're… ✅ Getting engagement, but not buyers ✅ Answering "What do you do?" with a 3-minute ramble ✅ Watching peers scale faster (with less skill, less heart, less depth)... That's not a strategy problem. It's a messaging problem. And it's costing you conversions—daily. This episode is the unlock to create instant demand with premium buyer psychology. No fluff. No filler. Just high-conviction messaging that sells. Next Steps:

Today on AOTA Shorts: In what can only be described as silicon valley's educational wet dream, the Alpha School expands its footprint across the nation. The private school, which packs a $75K/year price tag, touts its ability to have kids learn twice as much in just 2 hours of AI based “instruction” per day. And contrary to what you might expect, the school claims its guides (the adults who work there rather than teachers) offer a more humane environment than traditional schools. And, as the Alpha School eyes expansion to Palo Alto, just down the road, computer science graduates of Stanford University are finding a dearth of jobs, as the industry shifts entry level jobs to AI. What are the implications of this AI mess we find ourselves in? Manuel and Jeff discuss! Woah, new format! AOTA Shorts give a brief, quick-hitting breakdown of a single story in this increasingly wild world of education that you can enjoy in the car, at work, or in those precious minutes of down time you (maybe) get during your busy day.

This episode features host Travis Chappell and producer Eric having a rapid-fire, hilarious, and surprisingly deep “Would You Rather” session built entirely around money, investing, and lifestyle tradeoffs. Using a list of AI-generated prompts, they unpack how real people should think about risk, retirement, lifestyle creep, and building wealth with their actual constraints in mind. On this episode we talk about: Whether to take $10 million today or $1 million a year for life Swinging for a 10x moonshot vs. locking in an 8% return forever Being “early to the next Apple” versus compounding slower, safer returns Choosing between keeping your investments or keeping your business Building one $100M company that burns you out vs. multiple smaller businesses you love Working 80-hour weeks for a few years to make work optional vs. coasting forever Unlimited VC money with no control vs. slow, bootstrapped freedom Fame with no privacy vs. quiet wealth no one sees Driving a paid-off Toyota with rentals vs. renting a house with a Lambo Taking a $250K job you hate vs. $75K doing work you love Top 3 Takeaways Safe, consistent returns beat reckless moonshots—especially early on. Travis leans toward guaranteed growth and stacking cash first, then taking bigger swings once a solid base is built. Your best wealth-building lever at first is income, not investments. Until your portfolio can support you, your business and skills are the engine that funds long-term wealth. Money decisions are really lifestyle decisions. Tradeoffs like privacy vs. fame, burnout vs. freedom, and hating a high-paying job vs. loving a lower-paying one matter more than raw dollar amounts. Notable Quotes “Get to a hundred grand, then put as much money as you can into the safe thing before you go start playing around.” “The goal isn't retirement; the goal is to make work optional.” “There's a massive difference between having to work to eat and choosing to work because you love what you do.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

What if good parenting isn't enough? (Hint hint: it's NOT) In this powerful and deeply convicting conversation, Judy Weber sits down with Terri Hitt—author of The Good Mom Trap, mom of four across two generations, and founder of the Godly Motherhood movement—to dismantle one of the most dangerous lies Christian moms believe: that being a good parent automatically produces godly kids. Terri shares her extraordinary God-story, including devastating loss, radical obedience, and how the Lord reshaped her understanding of motherhood, identity, and legacy. Together, Judy and Terri explore how culture quietly disciples our children and why moms must reclaim their role as the spiritual thermostat of the home. This episode goes far beyond theory. You'll hear real-life examples, hard truths, and hope-filled strategies for raising children who don't just behave well—but know Christ deeply and follow Him boldly. If you're a mom, grandmother, or spiritual mentor who wants to raise the next generation with eternal perspective (not cultural compromise), this is a must-listen. MORE ABOUT TERRI: Terri is a best-selling author of the book: "The Good Mom Trap: Break the Lie that Good Parenting Creates Godly Kids".

Episode 150 of the Award Travel 101 Podcast focuses heavily on year-end strategy, with Mike Zaccheo and moderator Cameron Laufer walking through news, bonuses, trip updates, and the annual housekeeping travelers should tackle before December 31. They open by highlighting a community post about someone just 500 MQDs short of Delta Diamond and discuss creative last-minute options—same-day turn flights, buying MQDs, or leveraging Delta credit card boosts. News items include Royal Air Maroc's new status match (valid through 2026), a significant Turkish Miles&Smiles partner award devaluation, and Capital One's upcoming transfer-ratio cut to Emirates. Mike and Cameron also share their own card bonus pursuits and recent travel planning, including Mike's NYC trip and Cameron's Singapore Airlines business-class redemption and new Hyatt Globalist status.The main segment dives into year-end planning across credits, spending, and elite status. Mike reviews the long list of expiring statement credits—hotel credits from Amex, Chase, and Citi; airline incidental credits; and category-specific perks like Amex Dell/Saks/Resy and Hilton's monthly credits. Cameron covers annual spending thresholds, including Hilton free night certificate triggers, Hyatt spend-based nights, Amex Platinum's 75K spend for guest lounge access. They also outline status deadlines, reminding listeners that most airline and hotel elite metrics close December 31.Rounding out the episode, the hosts discuss point pooling and transfer limits—noting strict annual caps for Citi ThankYou, Marriott, and Hilton—plus considerations around buying points and credit-card strategy like triple-dipping and 5/24 checks. The “Tip of the Week” advises booking Alaska Airlines partner awards (such as those operated by AA) under “other person” so you can later manage the reservation directly through American Airlines.Episode Links:Royal Air Maroc Status MatchTurkish DevaluationCapital One to Emirates DevaluationYear End Statement CreditsYear End Hotel Status StrategyWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

If every sale that comes into your business involves you, YOU are your sales system. That's not freedom, that's a prison.

This isn't another exhausting launch plan or post-until-you-drop content strategy. Listen as I show you exactly how to map out a cash-generating campaign, in just hours - even if you don't have a team.
Listen as I walk you through the ONE thing that makes you 'uncopyable' (& the undeniable 'it girl' in your industry). One of my clients a short while ago did this very work, and sent me this DM within 2 weeks: "Signed my first 'easy yes' client – $2,700 in the bank." Same audience. Clear positioning. New client.
If your messaging isn't converting buyers every day, you need to dump the old messaging model. And replace with the NEW sales-anchored messaging model. Without these anchors? You sound...nice. Helpful. You don't sound like a category-of-one authority premium buyers need to hire. Sales-anchored messaging shift beliefs. Close gaps. And convert. When your messaging is infused with my YES-trigger Psychology -- you'll hear "I'm in" ( even before you reveal the price). Press play and listen how sales-anchored messaging triggers YES before you even make the offer. Your category-of-one era starts here. _______________ Access my entire Sanctified Sales Methodology inside this *free* Private Podcast: https://www.judyweber.co/privatepodcast Next Steps:
