Faith isn't proven by what we agree with—it's revealed by how we respond. In the opening message of Faith in Motion, Dr. Ernest Grant II walks through James 1:1–12 and confronts the gap between intention and obedience. James reminds us that trials aren't pointless interruptions; they are God's tools for formation, endurance, and maturity. If you've ever felt scattered, squeezed, or stuck, this message calls you to stop stalling and start moving. Faith doesn't wait for perfect conditions—it takes the next step. Just endure it.

President Donald Trump has essentially killed all fuel economy rules on cars and trucks in the United States. By the end of the year, automakers will face virtually no limits on how many huge gas guzzlers they can sell to the public — or what those purchases will do to domestic oil prices. But is the thinking driving this change up to date?Rob is joined by Kenneth Gillingham, a professor of environmental and energy economics at Yale. They chat about how the economics profession changed its mind about fuel efficiency rules for cars and trucks — and then recently changed its mind again.

On today's Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, we are releasing an episode about a timely and wide-ranging discussion on one of the most significant and fastest-evolving developments in commercial finance: the rapid "consumerization" of small business lending law. In this episode, host Alan Kaplinsky welcomes Louis Caditz-Peck, Executive Director of the Responsible Business Lending Coalition (RBLC), for an in-depth conversation about the proliferation of state small business lending protection statutes, the policy debates driving them, and what they mean for lenders, fintechs, banks, and small business borrowers. From Self-Regulation to State Law: How We Got Here For decades, commercial lending operated under a fundamentally different regulatory framework than consumer credit. The prevailing assumption was that business borrowers were sophisticated, negotiated their transactions, and did not need standardized disclosures or suitability-type protections. That assumption has eroded. As Louis explains, since the financial crisis, and particularly with the growth of online and fintech lending, small business financing has changed dramatically. Community banks have pulled back. Non-bank online platforms have expanded. New products, including merchant cash advances and other revenue-based financing arrangements, have proliferated. At the same time, concerns have grown about: Opaque pricing structures Misleading "interest rate" representations Broker incentives that steer borrowers into higher-cost products Repeated refinancing of unaffordable obligations These concerns led to the development of the Small Business Borrower's Bill of Rights, a set of industry standards first launched in 2015 at the Aspen Institute by a coalition of lenders, small business groups, and nonprofit advocates. What began as a voluntary, self-regulatory effort quickly became a blueprint for legislation. California's SB 1235 in 2018 marked the first major small business truth-in-lending law. Since then, according to Louis, 19 small business financial protection laws have been enacted across multiple states, with California and New York leading the way. The "Consumerization" of Small Business Lending A central theme of the episode is whether we are witnessing the "consumerization" of small business lending. Many of the new state laws borrow heavily from consumer credit concepts, including: APR-style cost disclosures Total cost of financing disclosures Payment schedule requirements Prepayment and fee transparency Restrictions on certain contractual provisions Some states have layered on licensing or registration requirements for small business finance providers. Others incorporate or supplement state UDAP (unfair and deceptive acts and practices) standards, which may apply to certain business-to-business transactions as well as consumer transactions. The policy rationale is straightforward: many "Main Street" businesses are effectively sole proprietorships or closely-held operations without in-house finance or legal teams. Legislators increasingly view these borrowers as closer to consumers than to large corporations with treasury departments and inside or outside counsel. As Alan and Louis discuss, the regulatory shift raises serious operational and compliance challenges, particularly given the state-by-state patchwork of requirements. The Compliance Conundrum: Patchwork and Harmonization A recurring concern is whether the proliferation of state laws imposes disproportionate burdens on smaller lenders and startups, especially compared to large institutions with robust legal and compliance infrastructures. Louis emphasizes that RBLC has actively worked to promote interstate harmonization, particularly between California and New York. For example: Advocating for standardized disclosure forms that can be used in multiple states Aligning definitions and disclosure triggers Encouraging estimated APR calculations for revenue-based financing However, not all states have followed a harmonized approach. Some laws, particularly those focused narrowly on merchant cash advances, have created divergent requirements, complicating multi-state compliance. As Alan notes, the trend presents both risk and opportunity for lenders and their counsel. The regulatory environment is no longer static. Companies offering small business financing must assume that: Cost disclosures will likely be required in more states Registration or licensing may apply Enforcement risk—particularly under state UDAP statutes—will increase Section 1071 and Federal Uncertainty The episode also explores the role of the CFPB under Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires data collection on small business lending to: 1.     Identify potential discrimination, and 2.     Assess whether certain markets are underserved. The CFPB finalized its 1071 rule in 2023 under then Director Rohit Chopra. Multiple legal challenges followed. Under the current administration, a notice of proposed rulemaking has sought to scale back and slow implementation. At the same time, the Federal Trade Commission has signaled an interest in using its enforcement authority to address unfair or deceptive acts or practices affecting small businesses—underscoring an intriguing tension within federal regulatory policy. As Louis observes, the debate is not simply about reducing or expanding government. It is about how government authority will be used and whether transparency and enforcement will be advanced through rulemaking, litigation, or state initiatives. Merchant Cash Advances and Revenue-Based Financing A particularly nuanced part of the discussion focuses on merchant cash advances (MCAs) and other sales-based financing products. These arrangements typically involve: An advance of funds in exchange for a fixed repayment amount Payments tied to a percentage of daily or periodic sales Variable duration depending on business performance RBLC's position, as Louis explains, is product neutral. The coalition does not advocate banning product categories or imposing rate caps. Instead, it focuses on responsible practices, including transparent pricing and assessment of ability to repay. Importantly, none of the major state lending protection laws impose interest rate caps. The emphasis is on disclosure and market transparency rather than price regulation. Who Is Covered—and Who Is Not? Most state small business truth-in-lending statutes apply to financing of $500,000 or less (with some variation, such as New York's $2.5 million threshold following gubernatorial revision). Coverage often includes: Closed-end loans Open-end lines of credit Sales-based financing/MCAs Factoring (in some states) Banks are generally exempt from these statutes, though non-bank "providers" presenting the offer of credit may still have disclosure obligations even in bank partnership models. As Alan highlights, this raises interesting competitive and policy questions about level playing fields across banks and non-banks. Looking Ahead to 2026 Both speakers agree: this trend is not going away. With significant percentages of small business owners reporting difficulty accessing affordable capital—and a substantial minority reporting harm from predatory practices—state legislators remain motivated to act. The key policy question is not whether regulation will expand, but how. Well-designed transparency frameworks can: Promote price competition Reward responsible innovation Improve borrower decision-making Poorly harmonized or overly rigid frameworks, however, risk increasing compliance costs and reducing credit availability. As Alan notes in his closing remarks, small business finance regulation is becoming a core area of growth for law firms and compliance professionals historically focused on consumer financial services. The line between consumer and commercial finance continues to blur.  Alan noted that the Consumer Financial Services Group which he founded and chaired for 25 years has counseled and represented small business lenders for decades. For lenders, fintechs, banks, and their advisors, understanding these developments is no longer optional—it is essential. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we explore how ancient Chinese Medicine wisdom meets cutting-edge AI technology to accelerate fertility outcomes—at a fraction of the cost of IVF.Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Kirsten Karchmer, founder and CEO of Conceivable Technologies.. With 20 years of clinical experience helping thousands of women, Kirsten has done something revolutionary: she's taken the diagnostic precision of Chinese medicine and trained an AI to deliver it 24/7.The results? A pilot study showed 150-260% increase in pregnancy likelihood—with the AI actually outperforming in-person clinical care. Women aged 37-44 saw a 260% improvement. At 1/1000th the cost of IVF.You'll learn how Chinese medicine pattern differentiation became an algorithm, why daily check-ins accelerate results compared to weekly appointments, how AI tracks Qi, Blood, Yin, Yang, and Stagnation patterns without using TCM terminology, what happens when sentiment analysis catches emotional patterns affecting fertility, the 3 non-negotiables that must work before IUI/IVF, why asking "WHY" is where transformation happens, and how personalized supplements and meal plans adjust in real-time based on your patterns.But this conversation goes deeper than fertility. Kirsten reveals her vision for an operating system for women's health from first period through postpartum and beyond, why trackers are actually injurious to women's health, how language changes physiology (stop saying "infertile!"), the order of operations: optimize first, intervene second, and why 97% of couples are locked out of fertility care by cost alone.Listen to this episode if you're considering fertility treatment and want to accelerate your timeline naturally first, currently in treatment and want to optimize outcomes before your next cycleinterested in how AI can scale personalized medicine without losing effectiveness, wondering how Chinese medicine diagnostic principles translate into technologysupporting someone through fertility challenges and want to understand integrative approaches, or a healthcare professional curious about the future of women's health technology.

In this episode, Andy pulls back the curtain on the massive financial and time investments he has made into his own personal development over the last eight years. From a $15 book to $5,000 online courses and international masterminds, Andy explains why he views self-investment as the ultimate "cheat code" for moving from a corporate insurance job to a successful entrepreneur, author, and speaker.I hope you enjoy it!

Revitalizing Private Practice: Strategic Medical Marketing with Laura WoodardIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Laura Woodard, the Founder of Grass Roots Medical Marketing, about the intensifying pressures facing independent physicians today. With corporate consolidation and administrative burdens causing an exodus of private practitioners, Laura shares her thirty years of expertise to help doctors reclaim their local authority and compete effectively with hospital-owned entities. This conversation provides a high-level roadmap for healthcare providers to bridge the gap between their clinical excellence and their digital presence, ensuring they can reach the patients who need their specialized care most.The Foundational Pillars of Patient Acquisition and RetentionSuccess in the modern medical landscape requires moving beyond traditional word-of-mouth and establishing a digital infrastructure that functions as a 24/7 patient advocate. Laura explains that a private practice's digital "front door" consists of three non-negotiable elements: a high-performing, mobile-optimized website, fully claimed and consistent online profiles, and a proactive strategy for review management. Because a staggering percentage of patients consult reviews and search results before booking, an outdated website or an incomplete Google Business Profile isn't just a minor oversight—it is a direct barrier to growth. By optimizing these touchpoints, doctors can signal credibility and accessibility, turning passive searchers into loyal patients before they even step into the office.Beyond the digital interface, the "second front door" of any practice is the front desk staff, whose interactions often dictate the tone of the entire patient experience. Laura emphasizes that marketing doesn't end when a lead is generated; it continues through every phone call and check-in procedure. High-performing practices invest in customer service training for their administrative teams, ensuring that empathy and efficiency are prioritized as much as clinical outcomes. This holistic approach ensures that the promises made by the practice's marketing are consistently fulfilled by the staff, protecting the provider's reputation and fostering a culture that naturally generates positive online feedback.For busy practitioners who are already balancing patient care with administrative duties, the transition to strategic marketing can feel overwhelming without a systematic framework. Laura introduces the "GRASS Formula"—Gauge, Recognize, Accelerate, Support, and Success—as a data-driven method to diagnose marketing weaknesses and implement sustainable improvements. By auditing website speed, heat-mapping user behavior, and automating review requests, doctors can move from a reactive "do-it-yourself" struggle to a proactive, "done-for-you" growth model. This shift allows physicians to focus on their primary mission of healing while a team of specialists manages the complexities of SEO, social media, and reputation management.About Laura Woodard:Laura Woodard is the Founder of Grass Roots Medical Marketing and a seasoned marketing strategist with over three decades of experience. Driven by her personal journey as a caregiver and her deep respect for the physician-patient relationship, she specializes in helping private practice doctors survive and thrive in an increasingly corporate healthcare environment.About Grass Roots Medical Marketing: Grass Roots Medical Marketing is a full-service marketing agency dedicated exclusively to supporting private practice physicians and small medical groups.

One of the biggest myths of success is that leaders are "born with it." In this episode, Andy pulls back the curtain on the massive financial and time investments he has made into his own personal development over the last eight years. From a $15 book to $5,000 online courses and international masterminds, Andy explains why he views self-investment as the ultimate "cheat code" for moving from a corporate insurance job to a successful entrepreneur, author, and speaker.I hope you enjoy it!

On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse announce some news about the show — and also debrief on how the Northeastern U.S. power grid performed during the past few weeks of unusually intense winter weather. They discuss why wintertime electricity demand is especially important to manage, whether it's bad that New England got a whopping 40% of its electricity from oil, and how the region's new transmission line to Quebec performed during the freeze. They also chat about how zero-carbon electricity could help manage grid stress.Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.You can find the full transcript of this episode here.Mentioned:Why winter is becoming a tough time for the power gridNew England turned to oil-burning power plants during the cold snapQuebec stopped sending hydropower during the Arctic stormPJM's review of its January cold weather operationsPreviously on Shift Key: The Startup Trying to Put Geothermal Heat Pumps in America's HomesAn early review (and photos) of the Rivian R2--This episode of Shift Key is sponsored by ...Accelerate your clean energy career with Yale's online certificate programs.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO in Fort Lauderdale, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Jon Brinton, Chief Revenue Officer at Crexendo, about the company's latest announcement: the launch of the Crexendo Marketplace. Crexendo is also a member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA). Crexendo, a unified communications service provider, merged with NetSapiens five years ago, bringing together a robust UCaaS platform now powering approximately 240 service providers globally. That ecosystem supports nearly 7.5 million users—a number that has grown more than fourfold since the acquisition. The new Crexendo Marketplace builds on that momentum by delivering a centralized, frictionless application store for certified integrations and third-party solutions. “What we've now released is a Crexendo Marketplace,” Brinton explained. “If you think about it like the Google Play Store or the Apple Store, it's an application store that somebody can go to download, activate or integrate with applications that are certified for our platform.” Through one-touch provisioning, service providers can enable integrations such as mobile dialer support, analytics, Microsoft Teams connectivity, and Crexendo's AI-powered receptionist and orchestrator, Cairo—all without complex implementation paths. The Marketplace reinforces Crexendo's sessions-not-seats licensing model, which allows MSPs and service providers to own their customer relationships while building equity in their businesses. Brinton noted that AI-driven add-on applications are driving significant incremental revenue, often far exceeding traditional per-user UCaaS pricing. “Some of these AI applications… may be worth four to five to ten times that in monthly revenue to our partners,” he said, underscoring the opportunity for higher-margin growth. As innovation accelerates across the cloud communications landscape, Crexendo continues to invest heavily in platform development and ecosystem expansion. With its annual NetSapiens user group meeting scheduled for Austin later this year, the company remains focused on empowering partners with tools, integrations, and community support to compete—and win—in an evolving market.

How often do you take action in a way that makes you think, “This is going to get me where I want to go!” My guess is that you're not taking these kinds of strategic action steps often enough, AND you're probably taking many other action steps each day that are not helping advance your career growth.  In fact, you may be stuck in a vicious (exhausting?!) cycle of over-giving, over-producing, and over-proving yourself without any long-term benefit to your career.   In this episode, I'm sharing five leadership skills that truly accelerate women's careers - not in a hustle-harder, fix-yourself way - but in a grounded, strategic, and sustainable way. Too often, women are given vague advice like “just be more confident” or “speak up more,” without being taught the actual skills that create visibility, influence, and momentum. This episode is about naming the skills that actually move the needle in your career advancement and then making them actionable.  This is especially for women who are doing great work and still feel stuck or overlooked. I walk through five specific skills that I've seen make a real difference over and over again: strategic self-advocacy, clear and confident communication (especially in high-stakes moments), intentional relationship-building, navigating power and bias without losing yourself, and setting boundaries that protect both your energy and your credibility. I talk honestly about the traps women are often socialized into, such as self-sacrificing, waiting to be noticed, staying quiet to stay “likable,” and how these skills help you move out of those patterns without becoming someone you're not. This conversation is for women at any stage of their career who want to lead with more intention, influence, and ease. My hope is that as you listen, you'll identify one skill that feels especially relevant right now - one lever you can pull that creates momentum instead of burnout. Leadership isn't about perfection or a dazzling personality; it's about practicing the skills that help you be seen, heard, and valued for the leader you already are, so that when the right opportunity opens up, you are well-positioned to step right into it.

Rob talks to Senator Martin Heinrich about whether Republicans and Democrats will reach a permitting reform deal this year. They chat about what Democrats would need to see in such a deal, how it could help transmission projects, and why such a deal will ultimately need to constrain President Trump in some way.They also discuss the future of Democratic energy and climate policy — what Heinrich learned from the Biden administration, what the Inflation Reduction Act got right (and wrong), and why data centers are becoming a new kind of energy villain.Heinrich is the senior senator from New Mexico (and a well-known transmission policy nerd). He's also a trained mechanical engineer and the son of a utility lineman.

Irish CEOs are entering 2026 with urgency and focus, responding to rising cost pressures, geopolitical uncertainty, and accelerating expectations for transformation, according to the latest EY CEO Outlook, which surveyed 1,200 executives globally – including 40 leading CEOs in Ireland. Irish companies are transforming at a fast pace, with 50% of CEOs reporting their organisations are already in significant enterprise-wide transformation programmes and a further 50% planning to initiate one in the year ahead. These programmes are increasingly focused on reshaping the core of the business. In Ireland, 50% of CEOs cite cost reduction as a key priority; 46% are prioritising improvements in customer engagement; 44% are working to accelerate progress on sustainability; and 20% are driving operational optimisation and productivity, including digitisation, as a top priority. The research also shows that Irish CEOs believe that transformation is no longer optional but essential, as Irish organisations seek to strengthen performance and build more resilient, future-ready business models. CEOs are acting with urgency amid mounting pressures Rising costs, geopolitical friction, and regulatory complexity are intensifying operating pressures for Irish businesses. 65% of CEOs expect operating costs to rise this year, reflecting ongoing wage inflation, energy volatility and increased regulatory demands. Geopolitical uncertainty is also reshaping strategic decisions: 46% have stopped or delayed an investment due to geopolitical or trade dynamics, 28% accelerated one, 5% exited a country, and 40% shifted suppliers to different markets. These shifts demonstrate how CEOs are balancing caution with decisive action as they prepare their organisations for a more unpredictable economic landscape. Helena O'Dwyer, Partner and Head of Strategy at EY Parthenon Ireland, said: "Irish CEOs are dealing with rising costs, geopolitical uncertainty and increasing regulatory demands, yet they are responding with real urgency. Leaders are pushing ahead with major transformation programmes, from adopting AI to strengthening cyber security and redesigning how their organisations work. Their focus is simple and practical: reduce costs, drive growth and improve productivity through smarter use of technology. It is a challenging environment, but Irish businesses are showing strong momentum, and many are already seeing the benefits." AI has moved from experimentation to core strategy AI is also at the centre of Irish CEOs' strategic agendas. 30% of leaders say their AI initiatives have delivered significantly above expectations, with another 55% reporting results somewhat above expectations. Early benefits identified are emerging across customer operations, software development, risk and compliance automation and forecasting. Looking ahead, 98% expect AI to have a transformative or significant impact on their business model within two years, with generative AI (48%) and machine learning (45%) expected to play the largest roles. Cybersecurity remains the biggest concern when prioritising AI investments, cited by 30% of Irish CEOs. New skills are becoming essential for performance AI and digital transformation are also reshaping workforce plans. Despite cost pressures, 60% of CEOs plan to maintain or increase hiring in 2026, particularly in roles that support AI, data, cyber and technology integration. Organisations are accelerating reskilling and redeployment to meet transformation demands. Priority skills include data and AI, cyber resilience, cloud engineering, transformation, and regulation. Carol Murphy, Partner and Head of Markets at EY Ireland, said: "Irish CEOs see the scale of change ahead and are acting now. Many are already deep into major transformation programmes, and almost all expect AI to reshape how their organisations work within the next two years. The focus is on practical steps, adopting the right technologies, strengthening skills and forming par...

In recent years, headlines warning about microplastics in fish, water, and even the human body have triggered widespread anxiety. While fear-based narratives grab attention, they also keep the nervous system in a chronic stress state—driving inflammation, impaired decision-making, and accelerated biological aging. The question is no longer just environmental, but deeply personal: what happens when alarming headlines age us faster than reality? For those committed to healthy longevity, constant environmental alarmism can quietly undermine well-being. Chronic stress is a known driver of inflammation and epigenetic dysregulation. When fear replaces evidence, people make choices that are not only unnecessary—but often harmful to both human health and the environment.Chris DeArmitt, PhD, is an internationally recognized materials scientist and founder of the Plastics Research Council. After reviewing more than 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, he challenges widely accepted myths about plastics, microplastics, ocean pollution, and toxicity.

We're getting in motion with Sera Tajima, as she joins us to talk about her lifelong relationship with movement. She explains how ballet taught her precision, control, and the ability to withstand "good pain”, creating a meditative practice of syncing mind and body, that continued to martial arts. Sera's athletic journey took a turn three years ago when she developed long COVID, forcing her to completely reassess her relationship with movement. Through her recovery process, she learned to listen to her body's needs rather than pushing through, discovering the importance of small daily movements. Sera continues to advocate for a cultural shift away from the tendency to treat the body as merely a vessel for the mind, and instead reconnect with it on a deeper level. Guest BioSera Tajima (she/her) is a product designer turned climate investor and advisor, bringing Silicon Valley growth expertise to founders solving our planet's biggest challenges. She's spent a decade driving growth at Y Combinator, Zendesk, and Webflow—achieving results like 200% acquisition increases. Through Conscious Tech Ventures, she guides climate startups scaling breakthrough solutions. Sera also has a course on sustainable growth. UC Berkeley-educated, Sera has spoken at Ikea, Uber, universities, and tech conferences worldwide, helping founders leverage product-market fit and product-led growth strategies. Her mission: Accelerate conscious tech that makes today's broken systems obsolete. We can't solve climate problems with the same thinking that created them.LinksSera's website: https://www.conscioustech.co/Sera on Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/seratajima/Sera on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seratajima/Sera on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@seratajimaCreditsCover design by Raquel Breternitz.

President Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. would create a domestic stockpile of critical minerals for civilian use — essentially a Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but for lithium, copper, rare earths, and other rocks central to electronics and decarbonization.It's one of many experimental and unusual steps that the administration has taken to boost U.S. mineral production over the past 13 months. But are any of those plans working? What could improve — and what does any of this mean for clean energy?On this week's Shift Key, we talk to someone who saw these policies up close. From 2023 to 2025, Nathaniel Horadam worked on electric vehicle and mineral policy at the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, eventually overseeing the office's critical mineral portfolio last year. The office is the department's in-house bank (it's since been rechristened the Energy Dominance Financing Office) and it runs some of the federal government's most ambitious industrial policy.Horadam is now founder and president of Full Tilt Strategies, LLC, and he writes about mineral issues for his Tailings substack. He joins us to discuss what's working, what's not working, and what needs to improve. Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University. Jesse is off this week.Mentioned:Final 2025 List of Critical MineralsReuters: US moves away from critical mineral price floors“What exactly are ‘Critical Minerals'?,” by Nathaniel HoradamThe Secure Minerals Act, by Senators Todd Young and Jeanne ShaheenThe Pentagon's Rare Earths Deal Is Making Former Biden Officials Jealous--This episode of Shift Key is sponsored by ...Accelerate your clean energy career with Yale's online certificate programs.

Most patients believe one simple lie.If I feel fine… I must be fine.Sounds harmless.It's not.It's the reason they:• cancel early• disappear when pain settles• only come back when things flare upI call it The Feeling Fallacy.The idea that feelings = function.But pain is a smoke alarm. Not a performance report.And here's the kicker:Explaining this doesn't work.More words don't change beliefs. Experience does.In this episode, I break down how to:• name the “Feeling Fallacy” so patients instantly get it• stop using abstract language like “optimal function”• pre-frame findings before they feel them• use simple tests (ROM, balance, posture) to show deficits, not describe them• turn relapse into a teaching moment that builds long-term buy-inNo clever lines. No scripts. No philosophy lectures.Just small framing shifts you can use tomorrow morning that help patients move from:Pain → Prevention → Performance.Because the best time to get adjusted……is when you already feel good.To learn more about Aligned Practicehttps://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/products/communities/aligned-practiceCheck out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateLearn more about Daily Visit Communication 2.0https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/daily-visitEmail me - martin@insideoutpractices.com

Can one hawkish Fed Chair nomination melt a golden bull's wings? In this episode of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Moe-Knows look at volatility, market overreactions, and how to hunt for asymmetry responsibly. On the macro side, Moe examines the recent gold price oscillations and explains why gold might be circling the rim of the ‘speculative' bucket, while Ghost takes a micro look at some tips for sniffing out asymmetrical returns.  Join our hosts as they dive for treasure in the ‘too hard' pile of the JSE, reminisce about the 2008 ArcelorMittal share price, and look at LVMH, Netflix and Mr Price as examples of stocks that have fallen sharply from peaks. Today's Topics: Why the nomination of a surprisingly hawkish Fed Chair sent the gold price plummeting. How retail speculation is making gold behave more like crypto – and what it might mean for you. How a VC mindset and an understanding of asymmetrical returns might help you build a high-risk equity basket that doesn't blow up your core portfolio. What names like Netflix and Mr Price can teach us about opportunities after extreme market reactions.

We all want justice, especially when the world feels broken, unfair, and upside down. In this message from Malachi 2:17-3:12, Dr. Ernest Grant II confronts the cry we all feel deep down: “Where is the God of justice?” What if God isn't absent, but patiently at work, starting with His own people? This sermon challenges our assumptions about justice, exposes the ways we subtly accuse God, and points us to the hope of the gospel: a God who doesn't just promise justice someday, but stepped into injustice through Jesus to save us.

In this episode, we dive into Katy Milkman's “Copy & Paste” strategy—a powerful shortcut for behavior change. Instead of reinventing the wheel, learn how to identify “close match” role models and deliberately imitate their specific tactics. We explore the research showing why copying beats planning, share real-world examples from exercise to automation, and give you […]

Healthcare HR leaders finally get a moment to exhale, but the work is far from over. In this week's Monday News Drop, Bo Brabo, Luke Carignan, and ASHHRA President & CEO Jeremy Sadlier break down three critical developments shaping workforce strategy, compliance, and recruiting right now. Segment 1: The 11th-Hour Telehealth Save Congress narrowly avoided the telehealth cliff. The Healthcare Access and Modernization Act of 2026 has been signed, extending Medicare telehealth flexibilities through December 31, 2027. Patients can continue receiving care from home, but new guardrails are in place. Starting in Q2, CMS will conduct quarterly audits of providers billing more than 50% of visits via telehealth. HR takeaway: Release February 1 claims, but immediately flag high-volume telehealth providers and refresh documentation protocols to prepare for increased scrutiny. Segment 2: Kaiser Strike Enters Week Two The Kaiser Permanente labor dispute continues to escalate. With more than 2,000 travel nurses deployed to maintain operations, unions have filed unfair labor practice charges, arguing replacement workers are being paid double what staff nurses requested. Tensions are rising, and public perception is becoming a key pressure point. HR reality check: The hardest work comes after the strike ends. Rebuilding trust, preventing “us vs. them” culture, and aligning leadership, HR, and labor relations will define long-term outcomes. Segment 3: The Visa Surprise The State Department's February 2026 Visa Bulletin delivered unexpected good news. EB-3 priority dates for nurses from the Philippines and India advanced nearly nine months, opening a rare window to accelerate international hiring. Strategic guidance: Speed matters, but ethics matter more. Vet international recruitment partners carefully, ensure compliance with ethical standards, and invest in structured onboarding and community integration to support long-term retention. This Week's Priorities: • Green-light telehealth billing while preparing for CMS audits • Monitor labor activity and cultural risk inside union environments • Accelerate international nurse pipelines with integrity and structure Healthcare HR is no longer reacting to disruption. It is shaping what comes next. From Our Sponsor(s)...Optimize Pharmacy Benefits with RxBenefitsElevate your employee benefits while managing costs.

Guest Spotlight  Today's episode features more of the conversation between Crosspoint host Josh Jackson and Lt Gen Clint Hinote, USAF (Ret.). Within his 35-year career as a fighter pilot, military strategist, and senior leader, Clint also served as a futurist for the Air Force prior to retiring in 2023. He is now a professor of policy analysis at the RAND School of Public Policy.  Clint breaks down how to think strategically about the future without getting paralyzed by uncertainty, how to read the signals of change, and how to communicate vision. Whether you're leading in military, ministry, or marketplace settings, this conversation offers actionable wisdom for navigating uncertainty and leading with conviction.    Mentioned in this episode:  White Sulphur Springs' Summer R&R #2, during which Clint will serve as the guest speaker  "Good leadership lifts others": Practical truths for Biblical leadership, Part 1 / October 2025  "No perfect leaders, no perfect lives": Five common qualities of Biblical leaders / November 2025   Clint's Nehemiah Bible study, developed during a prior deployment and used at WSS    If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF's "Be a Guest" webpage.

Why might you embrace or avoid it, as the case may be?  Why is the "why" of making changes in an organization so vital?  What can you learn from Biblical examples of future-oriented leaders?    Ministry News  Enjoy an impactful Conference Center visit: If you're looking for an opportunity to hit the pause button and reconnect with loved ones, consider a summer program at White Sulphur Springs (Manns Choice, Pa.) or Spring Canyon (Buena Vista, Colo.).   Check out the OCF Sisterhood: Visit our newest webpage to stay in the know, join the conversation, or help shape women's ministry efforts.   Meet the Council Class of 2029: Learn more about and pray for our newly elected Council members.       

Do your expectations shape your reality—or limit it? Imagine what would happen if you raised the bar for yourself and those around you. In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals how the expectations you set determine the experiences you create, and why possibility thinking is every leader's secret advantage. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson share actionable strategies for resetting team expectations and building a culture of higher achievement, so you can apply John's insights right away. Key takeaways:   Successful leaders continually set higher, self-driven expectations and upgrade them over time. Possibility thinking empowers you to see problems as opportunities and persevere through adversity.  Your beliefs must match your expectations—when you genuinely believe in your potential and direction, you inspire those around you to do the same. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the What You Expect is What You Experience Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
