Ralph welcomes international human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber to discuss the U.S. and Israel's illegal war on Iran. Then, Ralph speaks to investigative reporter David Cay Johnston about the finances of Donald Trump.Craig Mokhiber is an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. A human rights activist in the 1980s, he would go on to serve for more than three decades at the United Nations, with postings in Switzerland, Palestine, Afghanistan, and UN Headquarters in New York. In October of 2023, he left the United Nations, penning a widely read letter criticizing the UN's human rights failures in the Middle East, warning of unfolding genocide in Gaza, and calling for a new approach to Palestine and Israel based on international law, human rights, and equality.Anyone who pays attention knows that Iran wasn't attacked because it has nuclear weapons. It was attacked because it doesn't have nuclear weapons, and was therefore viewed by Israel and the U.S. as being a state that could be overcome militarily. But what really is, I think, most telling about this is the hypocrisy of the claims, because the only party in the region that has stockpiles of nuclear weapons (which are entirely undeclared and unsupervised) is the Israeli regime, not the Iranian. And the Israeli regime was joined in attacking Iran by another nuclear power—the United States.Craig MokhiberIsrael (which has attacked the United Nations throughout its entire life and declared that the United Nations is an anti-Semitic terror organization) fights like hell to stay in the United Nations, pays its dues every year to make sure that it stays in…and renews its treaty obligations as a member of the United Nations (that, of course, it violates with impunity). So it's very funny that Israel calls the UN an anti-Semitic terror organization, yet it insists on being a member and paying its dues to fund that so-called anti-Semitic terror organization.Craig MokhiberI don't think that putting Iran in an existential crisis is the best way to tell them you don't need nuclear weapons. I think stopping attacking them, their economy, their currency, their scientists, their political leaders, their military personnel, their civilians, their girls' schools—if you want a country to believe that it doesn't need to arm itself, this is not the way to go about it.Craig MokhiberDavid Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter, specialist in economics and tax issues, and a professor of practice teaching law, public policy, and journalism at Rochester Institute of Technology. He is the author of several books, including The Making of Donald Trump and It's Even Worse Than You Think: What The Trump Administration Is Doing To America. He is also the co-founder of DCReport, a nonprofit news service that reports what the President and Congress DO, not what they SAY.Convicting Donald Trump of tax fraud would be very easy. You establish these corporations [reporting major losses] don't exist. You establish that he took tax losses from these multiple corporations (in all, about 60 entries over the six years of tax returns). And there's no defense for that. It's flat-out fraud. It's blatant fraud. So Trump has gotten away with this because we don't seriously treat high-level tax fraud in this country.David Cay JohnstonNews 3/20/26* Our top story this week concerns a new study titled “Inequality, not regulation, drives America's housing affordability crisis.” As summarized in Hell Gate, this study demonstrates that the precipitous rise in rent prices are not primarily the result of insufficient housing supply or of vacancy rates. Moreover, contrary to the claims of the so-called Abundance movement, reducing regulations to spur new construction is unlikely to create significantly more housing. Even if it did, that would probably fail to bring down rents, because the real cause of the rental spike is “Steep national inequality.” So, what can be done to bring down rents? Maximilian Buchholz, the lead author of the study, puts it bluntly in this interview: “rent control, tenant protection policies like just cause eviction, and income supports for people toward the bottom.” Simply put, the best policies to lower rents are policies that lower rents. This has been demonstrated time and time again in different policy areas, yet on the whole, Democrats still seem to prefer byzantine policy formulae instead of straightforward policy solutions to the glaring issues facing the American people. * Speaking of rising costs, Washingtonian magazine is out with a new story on the Washington Post hiking prices for subscribers. Yet apparently not all subscribers are created equal. According to this story, these increases are accompanied by a simple yet insidious message: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.” This is the latest deployment of what has become known as algorithmic – or “surveillance” – pricing. This piece notes other examples of surveillance pricing, ranging from the Princeton Review charging more for the same SAT tutoring package in areas with higher Asian populations (they called it the “tiger mom tax”) to Amazon charging local school districts vastly different prices for the same supplies. However, this new policy from the Post is especially brazen given the straits the paper has recently found itself in, declining by a million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 and hemorrhaging key reporters to a new rival paper sponsored by Robert Albritton, including Dana Milbank, Jeff Stein, Paul Kane and Paige Cunningham, among others, per the Hill.* In more media news, Variety reports that ratings for CBS Evening News are cratering, falling back to where executives at the news division behind the show “hoped never to return.” The nightly news program, anchored by Tony Dokoupil, has fallen below 4 million viewers; when the previous iteration of the program anchored by Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson fell to this nadir, Paramount Skydance pulled the plug. While this is perhaps just a symptom of the collapse of cable news, Variety notes that ABC's “World News Tonight,” averaged nearly 8 and a half million viewers and “NBC Nightly News” scored just over 6 and half million. Dokoupil did score a slight uptick in viewership when he took over the Evening News, but that seems to have been nothing more than a flash in the pan. This pathetic showing seems to confirm what seemed obvious all along: there is simply little audience for the editorial viewpoint espoused by CBS's new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss.* The bad news for Bari doesn't end there, either. According to the Wrap, the new chief is locked in contentious negotiations with the unionized staff of CBS, specifically the 60-person unit behind the network's streaming service, “CBS News 24/7.” These workers staged a 24 hour walkout earlier this week. Their grievances include everything from new grueling 12-hour weekend shifts – despite no weekend-specific live programming – as well as CBS News' reported plans to lay off 15% of staff. CBS News already laid off roughly 100 people in October after Paramount merged with Skydance and many believe more layoffs will come if the merger with CNN, which is not unionized, goes through as part of the Paramount Warner Bros. deal.* In other news, a recent study reveals a fascinating disconnect between the self-description of Democrats and their policy preferences. The study, conducted on behalf of the New Republic by Embold Research, gave respondents five choices to describe their ideology: conservative, moderate, moderate-to-liberal, liberal, and progressive. Only 12% identified as moderate, but another 21% called themselves moderate-to-liberal. Yet, among this combined group, approximately 70% said Democrats are “too timid” on taxing the rich and corporations, and cracking down on corporate criminals. Fewer than 5% of moderates said Democrats are “too aggressive” on these issues. In a word, even the moderates among the Democratic base think the party should take a more strident economic populist line. This tracks with polling conducted during the Texas Democratic Senate primary which found that 47% of voters who identified as socialists also identified as moderates.* Our next several stories this week have to do with the intersection of foreign policy and energy. The AP reports that on Tuesday, Cuba reconnected its energy grid following a 29-hour long nationwide blackout. This story notes that this reconnection will only provide scant and temporary relief, because not enough power is being generated. The energy crisis in Cuba has gotten progressively worse since the beginning of the year, as the new government in Venezuela and the newly reinforced sanctions regime have both served to cut off the island from energy imports. That said, cracks in this blockade are beginning to form. Bloomberg reports that a “tanker carrying more than 700,000 barrels of Russian crude is expected to arrive in Cuba by the end of the month,” and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her administration is “looking into different possibilities” to resume fuel shipments to Cuba as well. Sheinbaum stressed that Mexico is “sovereign” and able to “have trade agreements with any country in the world,” per the Latin Times. The U.S. government has already eased sanctions on Russian oil sales to India, but has now announced that they will not allow the Russians to send oil to Cuba, per Bloomberg. As the ship is already on its way, it is an open question of how far the U.S. will go to prevent Russia from sending lifesaving resources to the country that has held out against American pressure for so long.* Next, a stunning story in the Wall Street Journal documents how the Trump administration settled on their final course of action in Venezuela. According to this piece, the Central Intelligence Agency consulted former Chevron executive Ali Moshiri, described as the oil company's man in “Man in Venezuela—and a CIA Informant.” Apparently, Moshiri warned that if the U.S. government tried to oust the Chavista government of Nicolás Maduro and install María Corina Machado and her exile comrades in its place, the country would turn into “another quagmire like Iraq.” Moshiri specifically warned that Machado did not have the support of the country's security services or control of its oil infrastructure. For their part, Chevron issued a statement claiming that “between spring of 2025 and the removal of Maduro, Chevron did not authorize anyone working for, or on behalf of, the company to engage with the CIA related to Venezuela's leadership, including assessments of government officials or opposition leaders.” Moshiri, formally left Chevron in 2017 and ended his consulting relationship with the company in 2024. Unlike many other oil companies, Chevron maintained a presence in Venezuela over the years, positioning the company to benefit most from the new extraction political environment under the leadership of upjumped Vice President Delcy Rodríguez.* Meanwhile, a story from NOTUS highlights why this kind of outside advice is likely more heeded than ever in the halls of power: the publication reports that six months ago, the State Department under the leadership of Secretary Marco Rubio, fired its in-house oil and gas experts, including laying off staff who “would have been responsible for gaming out possible scenarios if the Strait of Hormuz was closed” and “staffers with close professional relationships at oil and gas companies in the Middle East and experts tasked with maintaining diplomatic contacts at foreign energy bureaus.” This is a final nail in the coffin for the misguided logic of Elon Musk's DOGE initiative and serves as a crystal clear example of why it is so dangerous to purge experts with significant institutional knowledge from the federal bureaucracy.* Another consequence of this lack of diplomatic expertise is the ultimate cost to the taxpayer – $200 billion in additional Pentagon funding, to be exact, per CNBC. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, defending the request in typically childish terms, said “It takes money to kill bad guys.” In similarly childish terms, President Trump, asked why the Pentagon is seeking so much money, said, “We're asking for a lot of reasons,” and while he told a reporter he would not send U.S. troops to the region, he added, “If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you.” Beyond the flippant attitude towards the immense sums of taxpayer money they are requesting from Congress, to say nothing of the cost in American and Iranian lives, the American people would do well to remember how casually the political class treats $200 billion when it is to be spent on war instead of social programs. All this as gas prices spike, with price increases rippling out to all other consumer goods.* Finally, the BBC reports a Belgian court has ruled that a former diplomat, Etienne Davignon, can stand trial in connection with the 1961 killing of Congo's first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba. Davignon, 93, is the “only surviving member of the 10 Belgians accused in a criminal case brought by Lumumba's family in 2011.” At the time, Davignon was a diplomat in training. He would go on to become a vice-president of the European Commission. Lumumba meanwhile was ousted in a Belgian and U.S.-backed coup led by Mobutu Sese Seko, who would rule Congo (renamed Zaire) until 1997. In 1961, Lumumba was executed by a Belgian-backed Congolese firing squad and his body was dissolved in acid. Lumumba's grandson, Mehdi Lumumba, is quoted saying “We are all relieved…Belgium is finally confronting its history.” Many have remarked that while this has taken over 50 years, it sets a powerful precedent that justice can be found even after so many decades. Many of the war criminals that walk the Earth today are far younger than Mr. Davignon.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

If money keeps slipping through your fingers, or you panic every time it arrives, this episode explains why. The problem isn't your budget, your discipline, or your strategy. It's what your nervous system was trained to believe money means.In this episode, I breaks down:• Why money triggers your body's threat response• The neuroscience of money blocks (amygdala, cortisol, and pattern-matching explained simply)• The 3 money nervous system patterns: The Spender, The Saboteur, and The Worrier• 3 somatic steps you can take TODAY to rewire your relationship with money• Why affirmations don't work until you do this first

"Scarcity is not about money; it's the fear that life is not supporting you." What if the reason nothing ever feels like enough has nothing to do with how much you have? In this deeply eye-opening episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson takes you beyond money, success, and external results into the hidden pattern quietly shaping your entire life: scarcity. You may be growing, achieving, and doing all the right things, yet still feel a subtle pressure, a tension, a sense that something is missing or could disappear at any moment. This episode reveals why that feeling persists and how it is less about your reality and more about how you have been conditioned to relate to life. Kute unpacks how scarcity is not just a mindset but a deeply ingrained way of being, shaped by your upbringing, your nervous system, and your early experiences of safety, support, and self-worth. You will begin to recognize how this pattern shows up in your daily decisions, your relationship to money, and your ability to receive. More importantly, you will see why working harder or thinking more positively has not created the shift you have been seeking. This is not about chasing more. It is about waking up. It is about seeing clearly the unconscious fear that may be driving your choices and realizing that the life you desire is not blocked, it is waiting for you to relate to it differently. If you have ever felt like you are doing everything you can yet still not experiencing the level of ease, freedom, or abundance you know is possible, this conversation will shift how you see your life and what is truly available to you. If you are ready to release the grip of not enough and reconnect with a deeper sense of trust, this episode may be exactly what you need right now.   TIMESTAMPS (00:01:12) – What scarcity really feels like (even when life looks good) (00:02:12) – The wake-up question: If you knew your death date… (00:04:48) – Scarcity is NOT about money (core concept shift) (00:06:59) – The real root: Fear that life isn't supporting you (00:08:50) – How scarcity is inherited (family & conditioning) (00:10:12) – Scarcity lives in your nervous system (not just mindset) (00:12:16) – You can make money and still feel poor (00:13:18) – How scarcity shows up in everyday decisions (00:15:44) – Price vs. Value: The mindset that changes everything (00:17:59) – Time vs. Money: The truth most people ignore (00:19:01) – Nature as the model of true abundance (00:21:54) – How to start shifting out of scarcity (00:23:42) – Becoming a creator of value (00:24:20) – You were not born to live in fear or limitation (00:25:12) – The turning point: Choosing abundance in small actions (00:26:09) – Final message: Abundance is your true nature   What You'll Learn Why scarcity is a state of being, not a financial condition The hidden fear that makes you feel like life isn't supporting you How your upbringing and nervous system are wired for scarcity The difference between price vs. value (and how it impacts your entire life) Why you can make money and still feel poor How scarcity blocks both giving and receiving The first steps to expanding your capacity for abundance  Questions I Ask: What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with money?

Close your eyes for a second. It's December 2026. The year is almost over. And there's a version of you standing there, the actor you've been working toward all year. How are they carrying themselves? How do they walk into a room? How do they talk about their career? That version of you is not a fantasy. They're a compass. Why Vague Futures Lead to Vague Choices Here's the thing I keep coming back to. If your future is fuzzy, your decisions are going to be fuzzy too. You'll take the class when it "fits." You'll do the outreach when you feel like it. You'll set the boundary when it's convenient. But December you doesn't operate that way. The clearer you get about who that person is, the easier it becomes to act in alignment with them right now. Every choice you make today is either a vote for that version of you or it isn't. That's it. That's really the whole framework. Let Your Future Self Design Your Schedule This is something I go deep on in my weekly accountability and time management class for actors. Your calendar will tell the truth long before your excuses do. Look at your week through December's eyes. Would that version of you have prioritized training? Outreach? Rest? Boundaries? Start building your days around what your future self considers non-negotiable, not what your current self finds convenient. That's how you move from wishing into actual structural change. Train Like the Actor You Are Becoming The old version of you took class when it fit. The December version shows up even when it's inconvenient. Think of it in terms of reps. Every class you take, every self-tape you submit, every email you send with intention, those are reps. And your reps today are your bookings tomorrow. You are literally building that future actor one choice at a time. Ask yourself: what would the actor I want to be be working on right now? That question will recalibrate you faster than almost anything else. Let Future You Choose Your Boundaries Too December you is not saying yes to every draining request. She knows what supports the work and what depletes it. When you feel torn about a boundary, when you're deciding whether to say yes or no to something, ask yourself: what would December me choose here? That question cuts through a lot of noise. And a lot of people pleasing. If a boundary protects your craft, it is not selfish. It's necessary. Celebrate Every Aligned Choice This part matters more than people think. Every time you behave like your future self, even in a small way, acknowledge it. Celebrate it. Good job. That was me acting from my future, not my fear. That's how you wire yourself for a new identity. You're training your brain to recognize, oh, this is who we are now. Every aligned choice is a vote for the actor you want to become. Also in This Episode: Healing Your Money Story I recorded a three-part class called Healing Your Money Story: From Survival Mode to Abundance, and I want to be clear about what it is and what it isn't. It's not about budgeting. It's not about discipline. It's about understanding where your money patterns actually came from and why they live in your body, not just in your head. Inherited beliefs. Nervous system fear. Shame. Identity. And what it actually takes to feel safe around money. If money has ever made you tense, avoidant, or stuck in survival mode, this class was made for you.

Episode Summary In this episode of The Prosperity Podcast, Kim Butler and Spencer Shaw explore a rapidly unfolding reality: AI is no longer just a tool — it's becoming an economic actor. From AI agents hiring humans to companies like Block (founded by Jack Dorsey) laying off thousands in favor of automation, the landscape of work, finance, and productivity is shifting at unprecedented speed. Kim shares her long-standing curiosity about emerging technologies — from adopting the internet in the mid-1990s to experimenting with early remote screen-sharing tools — and explains why today's AI revolution is different. This isn't about coding. It's about curiosity. It's about adaptability. It's about reducing friction and increasing leverage. Listeners will walk away understanding: Why being closed-minded about AI is financially dangerous How AI can save massive amounts of time and money Why curiosity is your greatest asset in 2026 and beyond How to strategically integrate AI without losing your human advantage The new frontier isn't coming. It's already here.

This week, Shadi and Sam sat down with Jonny Thakkar, an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Swarthmore College and one of the founding editors of the invaluable The Point magazine. In a recent essay in The Point, Jonny argues that the left's organizing framework — reducing injustice and pursuing equality — is inherently negative and distributional, and therefore fails to inspire the kind of longing that drives political movements.This is a topic that we've chewed over frequently here at Wisdom of Crowds. The conversation goes on to weigh whether liberalism can offer a genuine vision of the good life or whether it is structurally committed to a neutrality that empties politics of meaning. The group debates Rawlsian liberalism, Marx's notion of human capacities, the appeal of the tech right's futurism, as well as religion, autonomy, and whether the loss of a pre-modern sense of cosmic order is recoverable.The episode ends without a tidy resolution, but with a shared sense that any politically viable vision of human flourishing must grapple seriously with what a good life actually looks like — not just what a just distribution of resources resembles.Required Reading:* “Beyond Equality,” by Jonny Thakkar (The Point).* “Last Boys at the Beginning of History,” by Mana Afsari (The Point).* Abundance, by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson (Amazon).* Ross Douthat's interview with Sen.

What if the reason your manifestations aren't landing… isn't your vision board, affirmations, or strategy — but your nervous system? In today's powerful conversation, I sit down with Angie Hawkins, The Inner Glow Coach, to talk about the grounded side of manifestation, abundance, and money mindset. We explore how your beliefs, nervous system regulation, and emotional patterns directly influence what you attract into your life — especially when it comes to money. Angie shares her deeply personal journey from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and scarcity thinking to manifesting a major life move to Hawaii using the "act as if" approach (before she even knew it was manifestation). Through unexpected opportunities, aligned action, and a calm inner certainty, she attracted the $100,000 she needed — in ways she never could have predicted. This episode beautifully blends the "woo" and the practical — showing how manifestation is not just about mindset, but about how safe your body feels to receive. ✨ In This Episode We Talk About: How your nervous system impacts manifestation and money flow Why you can't manifest from fear, scarcity, or survival mode The grounded truth behind "acting as if" The connection between childhood beliefs and money mindset How regulating your body creates space for aligned action The difference between anxious action vs. aligned action Why authenticity is magnetic for opportunities and income Simple daily practices to shift into an abundance mindset Journaling for evidence of abundance (even in small ways) Why joy is a powerful attraction frequency

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Vahram Ayvazyan, founder of the Armenian Network State, for a wide-ranging conversation touching on AI and the future of work, the cyclical nature of human conflict throughout history, the decay of the nation-state, the concept of a "fourth establishment" of free people operating outside traditional power structures, the role of greed and self-aggrandizement in politics and tech, and how network states could serve as a parallel structure to challenge entrenched global elites. You can find Vahram on LinkedIn, or check the Armenian Network State page at networkstate.io.Timestamps00:00 The Future of AI and Humanity05:57 Human Nature and Greed12:00 The Crisis of Nation-States17:53 Community Resilience and Abundance23:30 The Power of Storytelling in Change29:43 Cultural Connections: Armenia and Africa35:43 Western Dominance and Its Consequences42:17 Creativity in the Age of AI48:07 Creating Parallel StructuresKey Insights1. Humans advance technologically but remain socially and biologically stagnant. Vahram argues that despite extraordinary technological leaps, human nature remains driven by greed and self-aggrandizement. Conflicts today mirror those of thousands of years ago, with only the actors changing while the underlying structure of power struggles stays the same.2. Power corrupts by disconnecting leaders from reality. Using a personal account of a deputy head of state, the guest illustrates how those who gain significant power gradually lose touch with reality, fall into cycles of wanting more, and become trapped in ego-driven decision-making regardless of their original intentions.3. The nation-state is in decay and failing its citizens. Globalization, internet, and migration have eroded the nation-state's ability to deliver basic services. Events like the Valencia flooding exposed how even wealthy European governments mismanage resources despite collecting enormous tax revenues.4. Three institutions currently rule the world, with a fourth emerging. Nation-states, multinational corporations, and religious institutions form today's power structure. The guest envisions a "fourth establishment" — network states — composed of free-thinking individuals connecting across geographies to build parallel, dignity-based communities outside these failing systems.5. Intentions matter more than the tools themselves. Whether discussing AI, nuclear energy, or mathematics, the guest emphasizes that technology is neutral and that what defines civilization is the moral intention behind its use, not the sophistication of the tools developed.6. Western civilization's dominance was built on superior weapons, not superior values. The guest challenges Western narratives by suggesting its historical advantage came primarily from military technology rather than cultural or moral superiority, contrasting this with indigenous and Eastern philosophies that treat land, community, and human relationships as sacred rather than as capital.7. Evolutionary, not revolutionary, change is the path forward. The guest warns that revolutionary movements are easily infiltrated, diverted, or crushed by existing power structures. Meaningful change requires patiently building critical mass through parallel structures, storytelling, and emotional connection until the alternative becomes undeniably powerful.

Answers have never been easier to find. With AI, leaders can access strategies, frameworks, and step-by-step guidance in seconds, providing unlimited clarity at their fingertips. However, just like money, an abundance of answers doesn't necessarily change the deeper patterns that drive our decisions. Listen as Adam Quiney unpacks why more answers won't change a leader's underlying identity, but human, relational, and deeply felt leadership are more valuable. 

In this message, we look at the role of the church in addressing political issues. As this passage in 3 John highlights immigrants, refugees and foreigners it's a good opportunity to look at the difference in how government is tasked with approaching these groups of people versus how God has tasked the church to do so. Together, we will see how we as the church have been asked to love immigrants, be compassionate toward refugees, and come alongside of those who are foreigners among us. Speaker: Minister & Lead Pastor, Jim Samra Passage: 3 John 1:1-8 This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on March 15, 2026

PASSOVER was soon. PAINT your doorposts with the BLOOD of the lamb. Many went to JERUSALEM but others flocked to JESUS. Jesus had COMPASSION because we were like sheep without a SHEPHERD. Jesus told them to FEED us. This is indeed the PROPHET who has come into the WORLD! This is the work of God, […]

Rich women do not think about money the same way broke women do. And the difference is not how much money is in your bank account. It is how you think about the money you have right now. In this episode of The WAG Diaries, Victoria breaks down the mindset shifts and daily habits that separate women who build wealth from women who stay stuck in financial scarcity. This conversation is not about pretending to be rich or spending money to look successful. It is about making strategic decisions with the money you already have and building habits that create long term wealth. Victoria walks through real life scenarios that reveal the difference between rich thinking and broke thinking, including how you handle extra money, how you approach spending, how you talk about money with friends, and how you respond to opportunities to increase your income. She also breaks down the psychological traps behind buy now pay later platforms like Klarna and Afterpay and explains how these systems keep women stuck in cycles of spending instead of building wealth. This episode is packed with practical tools you can start using immediately to shift your money mindset and build financial momentum. In this episode we cover: • The core mindset differences between rich thinking and broke thinking • How daily decisions train your brain for wealth or scarcity • Why buy now pay later services keep people financially stuck • The 7 habits rich women practice daily to build wealth • The decision filter to use before making purchases • How language shapes your relationship with money • A weekly wealth check in routine • A 7-day challenge to reset your money mindset If you are ready to stop operating from scarcity and start building wealth intentionally, this episode will give you the framework to begin today. Share this episode with a woman who is ready to think bigger about money and start building the life she deserves. New episodes of The WAG Diaries drop every Sunday. Wealth. Abundance. Glow.

Speaker: Minister & Lead Pastor, Jim Samra Passage: 3 John 1:1-8 This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on March 15, 2026

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're getting into something a lot of therapists feel but won't admit: the practice you built to give you freedom might be the thing trapping you. We get into the rhythms, the systems, and the hard truth about why being a great therapist doesn't automatically make you great at running a practice. If you've been feeling the weight, losing the energy, and wondering how much longer you can keep doing it this way, this episode is for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

There are two kinds of voices in the world.   Some people talk at you. Others speak for you.   An echo simply repeats what already exists. A voice brings language to what people have been carrying but could never explain.   In this teaching, Juliana shares why language matters for transformation and why leaders who are called to build cannot operate from lack or limitation. Many people feel pressure, responsibility, and calling but lack the understanding needed to steward their lives well.   Understanding creates clarity. Clarity creates movement. Movement creates transformation.     Next steps: Join the Full Capacity Activation + Launch Event: https://julianapage.info/fullcapacity   Step into Courage Co.

This episode is a reflection on what opened up for me during the Elevate Retreat in Florida with Amber Lilyestrom and the women in her mastermind. I talk about moments on the beach that brought me into a deeper presence, the idea of “coming home” to yourself, and the difference between trying to learn more versus remembering what's already inside of you. We also explore resonance in business, spontaneous ideas, and why the most aligned work often comes from awareness rather than planning. If you've been feeling called to create or lead from a deeper place, this conversation might meet you there.

What if vulnerability isn't what makes you unsafe…What if vulnerability is what makes you powerful?In this deeply moving and joy-filled conversation, Elaine Starling welcomes Thymai Dong-Sheehan, educator, author, and founder of Innervate2Educate Consulting, to explore identity, belonging, spirituality, and the courageous journey of learning to love yourself exactly as you are.As a Vietnamese refugee who grew up navigating discrimination, cultural tension, and the pressure to “prove” her worth, Thymai shares how embracing vulnerability became her path to freedom. Through her book The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life: Vulnerability, Equity, Spirituality, she reframes identity as sacred, difference as powerful, and self-love as a spiritual act.This episode will help you release either/or thinking, embrace your “hyphen,” and fall in love with the beautifully imperfect human you already are.Topics Covered0:00 – Is Vulnerability Weakness or Leadership?Why hiding diminishes power — and shining creates connection3:30 – Breath, Intention & Creating Safe SpaceThe I AM / CONSCIOUSNESS practice and courageous alignment9:30 – Refugee Roots & Shared HumanityThymai's father's legacy and the power of remembering “We're all human.”14:40 – The Three G's of AbundanceGrowth, Goodness of others, and God's Glory18:30 – Turning to Each Other Instead of On Each OtherConnection across lines of difference23:30 – Love as a Non-Zero-Sum GameWhy giving light doesn't diminish yours27:50 – Embracing the HyphenLiving fully as Asian-American instead of choosing one identity32:40 – Falling in Love with YourselfAccepting flaws, complexity, and evolving identity35:00 – Living the Vertical LifeLooking inward first before pointing outwardKey Takeaways

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful clip from my masterclass “The $10M Wealth Gap: 5 Investing Mistakes Even Smart Women Make.” I break down the three phases of wealth every woman moves through, the identity shift required to become a powerful investor, and the surprising math behind why a $1M portfolio can create far more freedom than a $1M business.   Tune in to learn: • The three phases of wealth every woman must go through • The three different identities and how you ascend from one level to the next • Why a $1 million business is not worth as much as a $1 million portfolio and the real math and time behind it • The first two mistakes smart women make with their investments • What this current market shift means for your portfolio and why this is not a time to fear, but where millions are made  

We open the Bible to Matthew 6 and 2 Corinthians 9 and let them expose the real fight behind our finances: trust in the Father or trust in fear. We challenge mammon as a rival master, then pray for courage, repentance, and open-handed obedience that makes room for God's provision and purpose. • Abundance as a blessing meant to bless others • Priorities in the kingdom shaping every dollar • Stewardship mindset that refuses self-made pride • Treasure as a heart indicator and a practical audit • Serving God versus serving mammon as a real tension • Sowing and reaping as worship rather than pressure • Planned generosity instead of accidental generosity • Provision posture purpose as the order of kingdom giving • Cheerful giving that offers God our best • Jewish covenant lens in Matthew 6 and the shock of deifying mammon • Roman patronage culture and the temptation to give for credit • Kingdom versus mammon as two systems of security • Repentance as the fastest way back to trust • Dismantling stored security and self-protection agreements • Faith that works and refuses laziness

Stop Letting the Industry Define Your Success (Before It's Too Late) I was 16 years old. I walked out of an audition without a callback. And I cried. Not because the audition went badly. Not because I wasn't prepared. Just because the answer was no. I had already handed my peace over to the outcome, and I didn't even know I was doing it. I think about that girl a lot. I wish I could go back and tell her: it's one audition. One. In a lifetime of auditions. You are going to be fine. The Problem with Letting the Industry Define Your Success Here's what nobody says out loud: if you wait for a booking to feel successful, you will spend most of your career feeling like a failure. Not because you're not talented. Not because you're not working hard enough. Because the odds of this business mean that even working, thriving actors hear "no" far more than "yes." The casting grid doesn't care about your growth. It doesn't see how far you've come. So if that's where your sense of worth lives, you're giving away your power every single day. Stop outsourcing your worth to your bookings. Let Success Be a Feeling Before It Is an Event Wayne Dyer said it well: change the way you look at things and the things you look at change. That's not just a nice quote. It's a real shift in how you experience your career every single day. When success is a distant event, like landing a series regular by a certain age, you spend most of your life waiting. And not-yet always feels a lot like failure. But when you redefine success as how you live the day? That's something you actually control. Did you train today? Did you take one step in your business? Did you care for your nervous system? That's success. Measurable, real, and fully yours. I worked out this morning and I wanted to quit about six times. But I didn't. And when I was done, I was genuinely moved. Good job. You did it even when you didn't want to. Nobody handed me that feeling. It was mine. Goals, Habits, and Identity Are Three Different Things Most actors blur these together. They matter separately. Goals are results you want. Booking a co-star. Getting new footage. Landing a manager. Habits are what you do consistently. Self-taping weekly. Taking class. Staying in touch with your network. Identity is who you decide you are. Not who you'll become if everything works out. Who you are right now. You can hold all three at once. Goal: book a co-star. Habit: self-tape every week. Identity: I am a working actor in progress. That combination is what actually works. When you stop tying your identity to your outcomes, you become more resilient. And in this business, resilience is everything. Consistency, persistence, tenacity. Those might be the three most important words in this industry. Your Habits Are the Bridge Something I wrote down recently that I keep coming back to: Your habits are the bridge between your identity and your goals. Not your bookings. Not your callbacks. Your daily habits. The quiet, unglamorous work nobody sees. That's the bridge. The industry will always be chaotic. Platforms change. Trends shift. But training, the real core craft work, that's where you go to remember who you are. When your craft is solid, you can ride out the storms without losing yourself. Check In With Yourself. Regularly. Update your definition of success on a regular basis. You grow. Your definition should grow with you. Ask yourself: what does success look like for me today? Maybe it's rebuilding your confidence. Maybe it's getting new footage. Maybe it's strengthening one relationship in the industry. If your definition of success hasn't changed in a while, you haven't let yourself evolve. One More Thing: Your Money Story Matters Too Everything we just talked about, identity, worth, fear, what safety feels like, it doesn't only show up in your career. It shows up in your relationship with money too. I created a 3-part class called Healing Your Money Story: From Survival Mode to Abundance. This is not about budgeting. It's not about forcing a positive attitude or shaming yourself into discipline. It's about understanding where your money patterns came from and why they live in your body, not just your thoughts. Inherited beliefs, the nervous system, shame, money identity, and what it actually takes to feel safe with money. Can you imagine that? Feeling genuinely safe around money. If money has ever made you tense, avoidant, ashamed, or stuck in paycheck-to-paycheck survival mode, this class was made for you. Click here to learn more.

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. Dr. Dyer views intention differently and explains it as a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force that allows the act of creation to take place.One of Larry's favorite books is The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Listen as he shares some wisdom thoughts from Wayne Dyer about wholeness and abundance. (The Power of Intention by Wayne W. Dyer was published by Hay House and is available from most book sellers.)Follow the link below to share a gift of appreciation for our podcasts.Support the show

Success doesn't begin with strategy — it begins with identity.

Russell Kaplan, co-founder of Cognition — the company behind Devin — and previously at Scale AI and Tesla, joins the podcast to discuss what “software abundance” could mean for government. Our conversation covers… Why government software is so broken — Despite spending over $100B annually on IT, critical systems at agencies like the Social Security Administration and U.S. Department of the Treasury still run on decades-old code that few engineers know how to modify. How two-year software projects become three-week ones — why AI agents are particularly good at the painful migration and modernization work engineers tend to avoid. What “software abundance” actually means — AI agents can handle the tedious work of switching systems 24/7, collapsing the switching costs, and forcing software vendors to compete on value rather than locking customers into outdated systems. AI for cybersecurity — From triaging massive vulnerability backlogs to automatically fixing CVEs, AI will be essential for defending critical infrastructure as attackers gain the same tools. The coming “post-coding” world — As models converge in capability, the key bottleneck shifts from writing code to understanding problems, reviewing systems, and deciding what should be built in the first place. Plus, the future of procurement in an AI world, fraud detection in government datasets, the DMV as a software problem, and why Kaplan thinks the real skill of the future is knowing which problems matter.

Emanuel Bistrian, Executive Director of Generosity Path, grew up in a small Romanian village under communism, one of twelve children in a faithful Christian family. After immigrating to Chicago with almost nothing, he watched his mother give generously even in scarcity. That witness shaped his ambition, not simply to succeed, but to live on purpose. Over time, as he built businesses in the United States and Romania, God reshaped his view of wealth from something to secure into something to steward with open hands. In this conversation, Emanuel shares how he and his wife chose to give from revenue rather than profit, trusting God through the global financial crisis and seasons of real risk. He describes how local generosity is transforming churches in places like Ethiopia and South Sudan, restoring dignity and fueling gospel work from within communities rather than depending on the West. Through Generosity Path, he now helps leaders around the world discover generosity as surrender, community, and mission. Listen to explore how courageous generosity can restore dignity and strengthen faith in every season. Major Topics Include: Generosity as surrender, not strategy Giving from revenue, not just profit Trusting God through financial risk Integrating faith and entrepreneurship Building generosity into business systems Community as catalyst for generous living Restoring dignity through local generosity Shifting from Western dependence to local ownership QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I realized that God wasn't poor in Romania. We as His people needed to learn generosity.” “If we didn't do something that extreme, we would never give.” “We didn't want to wait to tally up the profits to see if we were profitable enough to give.” “I would rather risk too much than too little when it comes to generosity.” “It's never a thing of how much you have. God can multiply the fish and the loaves.” “We all have everything we need to accomplish what God has called us to.” “Generosity in community is the next logical thing. Why wouldn't you want to give with others?” “Business people can be quite lonely, but community brings the joy back.” “Generosity restores dignity.” “When the Holy Spirit downloads His heart into yours, transformation takes place.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Generosity Path Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving Praxis (see our interview with Cofounder Josh Kwan) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) Handful of Rice video Bishop Hannington video TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.  But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity.  Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step. If you've been inspired by these stories and want to take things to the next level, check out Applied Generosity anywhere you listen to podcasts or at appliedgenerosity.com.

Russell Kaplan, co-founder of Cognition — the company behind Devin — and previously at Scale AI and Tesla, joins the podcast to discuss what “software abundance” could mean for government. Our conversation covers… Why government software is so broken — Despite spending over $100B annually on IT, critical systems at agencies like the Social Security Administration and U.S. Department of the Treasury still run on decades-old code that few engineers know how to modify. How two-year software projects become three-week ones — why AI agents are particularly good at the painful migration and modernization work engineers tend to avoid. What “software abundance” actually means — AI agents can handle the tedious work of switching systems 24/7, collapsing the switching costs, and forcing software vendors to compete on value rather than locking customers into outdated systems. AI for cybersecurity — From triaging massive vulnerability backlogs to automatically fixing CVEs, AI will be essential for defending critical infrastructure as attackers gain the same tools. The coming “post-coding” world — As models converge in capability, the key bottleneck shifts from writing code to understanding problems, reviewing systems, and deciding what should be built in the first place. Plus, the future of procurement in an AI world, fraud detection in government datasets, the DMV as a software problem, and why Kaplan thinks the real skill of the future is knowing which problems matter.

Derek Thompson, journalist and co-author of Abundance, joins Offline to hash out some hard truths about AI: who it will actually replace, why we haven't seen more labor market disruption, and why the Department of War's battle with Anthropic spells the end of private property rights in America. Then Derek lays out his Postmanesque "Everything Is Television" theory of media for Jon, where politics becomes theater and news becomes performance. The guys wrap it up by discussing how becoming fathers changed their views on parenting—and on living.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW, and we are getting into something a lot of therapists are quietly struggling with: Can you actually build a values-driven, socially just practice and still make real money? We tackle the guilt, the math, and the hard truth about why good intentions alone will burn you out. If you've been wrestling with sliding scales, equitable fees, or wondering if wanting financial stability means you're selling out, this episode will change how you think about all of it. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.
