Can AI transform legacy incumbents rather than replacing them? Sequence Holdings co-founder and CEO Michael Lee joins Sarah Guo to discuss how holding company structures and engineering integrations are reshaping market leaders from the inside out. Michael details Sequence's $7.7 billion take-private transaction of Baldwin alongside Dell Family Office (DFO), and shares his thesis on why traditional consulting models and software sales fall short for real enterprise AI transformations. They also talk about why permanent holding company structures are good for long-term compounding, real-world results from applying frontier engineering to BankSouth, and Michael's lessons from his time in public investing, private equity, and operating at the intersection of market incumbents and AI.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Judith Joseph. A psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the often-overlooked condition she calls high-functioning depression. The discussion focuses on successful, productive individuals who appear to be thriving externally but privately struggle with a persistent lack of joy, emotional exhaustion, restlessness, and unresolved trauma. Drawing from her research, clinical practice, and personal experiences, Dr. Joseph explains how many high achievers become trapped in a cycle of constant productivity, using work and accomplishment to avoid addressing deeper emotional wounds. She offers practical strategies for identifying these patterns and reclaiming joy before a mental health crisis occurs. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Raise awareness of high-functioning depression, especially among entrepreneurs, executives, caregivers, and high achievers. Differentiate high-functioning depression from burnout and other mental health challenges. Help people recognize signs of hidden depression before a breakdown occurs. Provide practical tools for restoring joy and emotional wellness. Encourage vulnerability and support-seeking, particularly among those viewed as "strong." Key Takeaways 1. High-Functioning Depression Often Hides Behind Success People with high-functioning depression can maintain careers, businesses, families, and responsibilities while suffering internally. Characteristics include: Constant productivity Difficulty resting Emotional numbness Fatigue Irritability Lack of joy Feeling empty despite achievements Dr. Joseph refers to many of these individuals as: "Humans doing, not human beings." 2. The Core Symptom Is a Lack of Joy According to Dr. Joseph, the defining feature is not necessarily sadness but anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasure or joy. People may notice: Favorite activities no longer feel rewarding Relationships feel emotionally flat Accomplishments provide little satisfaction Life feels like an endless checklist Many dismiss this feeling as simply "adult life," when in fact it may signal depression. 3. Burnout and High-Functioning Depression Are Different Burnout is generally tied to work-related stress. Dr. Joseph explains: Burnout symptoms often improve when work stress is removed. High-functioning depression follows a person everywhere. If symptoms remain even after vacations, weekends, or time away from work, something deeper may be occurring. 4. Productivity Can Become a Mask Some individuals become "pathologically productive." They: Build identities around achievement Seek constant accomplishment Feel uncomfortable when idle Use work as a way to avoid confronting emotional pain Success becomes a coping mechanism rather than a source of fulfillment. 5. Unprocessed Trauma Often Drives Overachievement Dr. Joseph introduces the concept of scarcity trauma. People who grew up with financial instability, insecurity, or hardship may develop a perpetual fear of running out of resources, opportunities, or success. As a result: They struggle to slow down. They remain in a chronic fight-or-flight state. They continuously push themselves despite exhaustion. 6. Reconnecting With Your Past Can Restore Joy A major theme throughout the interview is the value of what Dr. Joseph calls mental time travel. She encourages people to: Look at old photos Reflect on who they were at 18 or 22 Remember activities that once energized them Revisit meaningful relationships and experiences The goal is to rediscover authentic sources of joy and values that may have been lost amid professional success. 7. Music Is a Powerful Healing Tool The conversation highlights how music can: Trigger positive memories Improve emotional regulation Connect different parts of the brain Transport people to happier experiences Dr. Joseph notes that music is even used therapeutically in psychiatric settings because of its healing effects. 8. Joy Must Be Scheduled and Protected Joy should not be treated as something that happens accidentally. Dr. Joseph encourages people to: Put joyful experiences on their calendar Protect personal time like important meetings Create intentional opportunities for happiness She emphasizes that leaders who prioritize joy positively influence everyone around them. 9. Strong People Need Support Too Many high-performing individuals are admired for their resilience but often suffer in silence. The interview stresses that: Strong people need places to be vulnerable. Leaders need trusted advisors. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Rushion McDonald shares his own experience of reaching out for support during a demanding period of his career and how meaningful that guidance became. Dr. Joseph's Five Vs Framework One of the most practical portions of the interview is Dr. Joseph's "Five Vs" approach to reclaiming joy. 1. Validation Acknowledge and name your emotions without judgment. 2. Venting Express emotions through conversation, prayer, journaling, therapy, or trusted relationships. 3. Values Focus on what truly matters rather than only pursuing material success. 4. Vitals Take care of physical health through sleep, nutrition, movement, and protecting brain health. 5. Vision Plan future experiences that create joy and celebrate achievements rather than immediately moving to the next goal. Memorable Quotes On hidden depression "The key symptom is a lack of joy." On the human need for fulfillment "You are built with the DNA for joy. It's your birthright as a human being." On overachievement "I call these people humans doing, not human beings." On success masking pain "You're wearing this mask of productivity." On unhealthy achievement patterns "What are you trying to outrun?" On constant accomplishment "You think you're chasing happiness, but you're really trying to outrun the past." On emotional awareness "If you name it, that uncertainty goes down." On vulnerability "No one knows you're suffering if you don't say anything." On joy and leadership "Joy is very contagious." On support systems "Don't do it alone." Overall Message The interview's central message is that success does not protect people from depression. Many high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and caregivers continue functioning at a high level while quietly struggling with emotional emptiness and loss of joy. Dr. Joseph argues that recognizing these signs early, processing unresolved trauma, reconnecting with personal values, and intentionally cultivating joy can help prevent burnout, breakdowns, and long-term mental health challenges. The ultimate goal is not merely productivity, but a life that feels meaningful, connected, and joyful. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

What if financial success isn't the destination, but simply the foundation for something greater?We spend a great deal of time thinking about how to earn, save, invest, and manage money wisely. Those things matter. Faithful stewardship requires care and wisdom with what God has entrusted to us.But what happens when you've done many of those things well and still find yourself wondering, Is there something more?Scott Highmark, President and Co-Founder of Mosaic Wealth, a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, and author of The Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance, believes there is.His “Significance Pyramid” offers a framework for moving beyond financial success toward a life increasingly shaped by purpose, generosity, service, and ultimately surrender to Christ.Why Success Alone Can't SatisfyOur culture often encourages us to keep moving “up and to the right”—more income, more achievement, more possessions, more recognition.There's nothing inherently wrong with achievement. The problem comes when we expect it to satisfy desires it was never designed to fulfill.Highmark points out that even people who reach the top of their professions often discover that the fulfillment they expected doesn't last. Accomplishment may bring genuine satisfaction for a season, but our appetites continually reach for something more.Ultimately, the human heart's deepest longing cannot be satisfied by another financial milestone or professional achievement. We were created for God Himself.That conviction is at the heart of the Significance Pyramid. Every life points somewhere. The question is whether ours ultimately points toward ourselves or toward something greater.Stewardship: Building the FoundationThe pyramid's first level is stewardship.Stewardship involves wisely managing all God has entrusted to us—not simply our money, but our time, abilities, opportunities, and relationships.Financially, that means understanding what we have, knowing where it is going, and learning to live within our means. Practices such as budgeting can sometimes feel restrictive, but healthy financial boundaries can actually create freedom. When our finances are in order, we can spend and give more intentionally instead of constantly reacting to financial pressure.But stewardship is only the foundation. Once money consumes less of our attention, we can begin asking deeper questions about what our resources are actually for.As Highmark puts it, money can help fund our purpose, but it cannot help us find our purpose.Symmetry: Bringing Our Lives Into AlignmentThe second level is symmetry, or alignment.Most of us can quickly name what matters most to us: faith, family, marriage, generosity, service, relationships. But would someone looking at our calendars and financial statements reach the same conclusion?Symmetry means aligning the way we actually live with the things we say we value.James 1 describes a person who looks at himself in a mirror, walks away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. In a similar way, we can profess certain priorities while organizing our lives around completely different ones.Highmark tells the story of a successful executive who traveled more than 150 days a year. His children were nearing adulthood, his mother was aging, and financially, he no longer needed to continue working at the same pace. Yet striving had become such a normal part of his life that he had never seriously considered another way.One simple question changed his perspective: Why are you still working like this?Eventually, he stepped away from that role. In doing so, he gained more time with his children and his mother and began serving through ministry.Sometimes faithful stewardship requires more than accumulating enough. It requires asking whether the life we are living actually reflects what we say matters most.Purpose: Using What God Has Given YouThe third level of the pyramid is what Highmark calls self-satisfaction. The name can sound self-focused, but the idea is really about discovering meaningful work and using our unique gifts well. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”God has made each of us with different abilities, experiences, relationships, and opportunities. Faithful stewardship includes learning to use those things in service to Him.Highmark draws on an insight from Henry Blackaby: Rather than beginning with the question, What is God's will for my life? we should begin with, What is God's will? Then we ask whether we are willing to adjust our lives to participate faithfully in what He is doing.That changes the focus. Purpose is no longer primarily about finding the career or activity that makes us feel fulfilled. It becomes a matter of offering our lives to God and faithfully using what He has entrusted to us.And even personal fulfillment isn't the top of the pyramid. If our purpose ends with ourselves, it still falls short.Significance: Turning OutwardThe fourth level is significance.Here, the focus shifts from inward to outward. Instead of asking, What will make me happy? we begin asking, How can I use what God has entrusted to me for someone else's good?That may require sacrifice. We may willingly choose to have less so someone else can have what they need. We may surrender time, comfort, opportunity, or resources for another person's good.Jesus Himself models this kind of life. Philippians 2 describes Christ as taking “the form of a servant.” Rather than using His position for His own advantage, Jesus humbled Himself and served.Significance, then, isn't simply about accomplishing something impressive or leaving behind a recognizable legacy. It is about loving and serving others faithfully—even when doing so costs us something.That can show up in countless ways: generosity, hospitality, mentoring, caring for family, serving through the local church, investing in younger generations, or simply making ourselves available to people God has placed around us.Surrender: The Ultimate DestinationEven significance isn't the final destination. At the top of Highmark's framework is surrender.A person can live generously, serve others, and pursue meaningful work and still remain at the center of their own life. Biblical surrender goes further. It means offering our whole lives to Christ.Our money belongs to Him. Our careers belong to Him. Our families, abilities, ambitions, plans, and futures belong to Him. That doesn't mean financial planning or professional success is unimportant. It means those things find their proper place beneath the lordship of Christ.Success asks, How much can I accomplish? Significance asks, How can what I have been given serve others? Surrender asks an even deeper question: Lord, how would You have me faithfully use everything You have entrusted to me?Financial success can be good. Wise stewardship can create margin, opportunity, and freedom. But success was never meant to become our ultimate destination. The goal is faithfulness—a life in which everything God has entrusted to us increasingly points beyond ourselves and toward Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are entering retirement and use a credit card for groceries, paying it off monthly to earn travel rewards. Is that a wise strategy, or would it be better to pay directly from our monthly budget?I'm 71 and want to use Qualified Charitable Distributions for my tithes and offerings. How do QCDs work, can they come from an annuity, and can I direct part of my RMD to myself and part directly to my church?Resources Mentioned:Become a FaithFi PartnerThe Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance by Scott HighmarkMosaic WealthFaithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly MagazineFaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money is Enough?

Productivity Can Become a Mask Some individuals become "pathologically productive." They: Build identities around achievement Seek constant accomplishment Feel uncomfortable when idle Use work as a way to avoid confronting emotional pain Success becomes a coping mechanism rather than a source of fulfillment. 5. Unprocessed Trauma Often Drives Overachievement Dr. Joseph introduces the concept of scarcity trauma. People who grew up with financial instability, insecurity, or hardship may develop a perpetual fear of running out of resources, opportunities, or success. As a result: They struggle to slow down. They remain in a chronic fight-or-flight state. They continuously push themselves despite exhaustion. 6. Reconnecting With Your Past Can Restore Joy A major theme throughout the interview is the value of what Dr. Joseph calls mental time travel. She encourages people to: Look at old photos Reflect on who they were at 18 or 22 Remember activities that once energized them Revisit meaningful relationships and experiences The goal is to rediscover authentic sources of joy and values that may have been lost amid professional success. 7. Music Is a Powerful Healing Tool The conversation highlights how music can: Trigger positive memories Improve emotional regulation Connect different parts of the brain Transport people to happier experiences Dr. Joseph notes that music is even used therapeutically in psychiatric settings because of its healing effects. 8. Joy Must Be Scheduled and Protected Joy should not be treated as something that happens accidentally. Dr. Joseph encourages people to: Put joyful experiences on their calendar Protect personal time like important meetings Create intentional opportunities for happiness She emphasizes that leaders who prioritize joy positively influence everyone around them. 9. Strong People Need Support Too Many high-performing individuals are admired for their resilience but often suffer in silence. The interview stresses that: Strong people need places to be vulnerable. Leaders need trusted advisors. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Rushion McDonald shares his own experience of reaching out for support during a demanding period of his career and how meaningful that guidance became. Dr. Joseph's Five Vs Framework One of the most practical portions of the interview is Dr. Joseph's "Five Vs" approach to reclaiming joy. 1. Validation Acknowledge and name your emotions without judgment. 2. Venting Express emotions through conversation, prayer, journaling, therapy, or trusted relationships. 3. Values Focus on what truly matters rather than only pursuing material success. 4. Vitals Take care of physical health through sleep, nutrition, movement, and protecting brain health. 5. Vision Plan future experiences that create joy and celebrate achievements rather than immediately moving to the next goal. Memorable Quotes On hidden depression "The key symptom is a lack of joy." On the human need for fulfillment "You are built with the DNA for joy. It's your birthright as a human being." On overachievement "I call these people humans doing, not human beings." On success masking pain "You're wearing this mask of productivity." On unhealthy achievement patterns "What are you trying to outrun?" On constant accomplishment "You think you're chasing happiness, but you're really trying to outrun the past." On emotional awareness "If you name it, that uncertainty goes down." On vulnerability "No one knows you're suffering if you don't say anything." On joy and leadership "Joy is very contagious." On support systems "Don't do it alone." Overall Message The interview's central message is that success does not protect people from depression. Many high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and caregivers continue functioning at a high level while quietly struggling with emotional emptiness and loss of joy. Dr. Joseph argues that recognizing these signs early, processing unresolved trauma, reconnecting with personal values, and intentionally cultivating joy can help prevent burnout, breakdowns, and long-term mental health challenges. The ultimate goal is not merely productivity, but a life that feels meaningful, connected, and joyful. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

He compares it to glaucoma, vision narrowing so slowly you never notice until it's gone.What actually shifted it: new city, new friends, young professionals around him, travel.

What happens when you do everything right and life still says no?You train. You sacrifice. You stay disciplined. You pray. You keep showing up when nobody is watching.And you still don't get the outcome you wanted.In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Sydney Milani, former University of Alabama track athlete, Team USA bobsled pilot, performance coach, and founder of Peerless.Sydney spent years chasing an Olympic dream. The work was done. The sacrifices were made. But the dream didn't unfold the way she imagined.And that's where this conversation really begins.Because this isn't just about bobsled.It's about identity when the title gets taken away. Faith when the answer is no. The difference between discipline and obsession. Learning how to lose without becoming lost. And finding the courage to keep moving when life hands you a different map.We spend so much of our lives believing the outcome will validate the work.Maybe it doesn't have to.Maybe some dreams aren't only there to be achieved.Maybe they're there to forge us.KEY TAKEAWAYS• You are more than what you've done. Accomplishments can be part of your story without becoming your identity.• The work doesn't guarantee the result. You can prepare, sacrifice, pray, and give everything you have. Life still gets a vote. The work wasn't wasted.• Greatness is usually boring. The podium is built on ordinary days nobody sees.• Every dream has an invoice. Time. Money. Relationships. Comfort. Energy. Attention. Decide what you're willing to pay.• Failure is an event, not an identity. There's a massive difference between “I failed” and “I am a failure.”• Faith gets tested when the answer is no. Trust means something different when you can't see where the road is taking you.• Discipline should give you more life. Fitness is the vessel. The goal is to use it to play bigger in the world.• Confidence leaves receipts. It's built by doing difficult things and keeping promises to yourself.• Sometimes losing the plan reveals the purpose. The chapter you never wanted may introduce you to the work you were meant to do.• The pursuit changes you. The medal matters. The dream matters. But so does the person forged while chasing it.NUGGETS“Greatness is usually boring before it's impressive.”“Everybody wants the dream until they see the invoice.”“The work wasn't wasted just because the outcome changed.”“Falling short doesn't erase the person you became chasing it.”“Faith gets interesting when the answer is no.”“Confidence leaves receipts.”“Sometimes losing the plan is how you find the purpose.”“Most people don't need another hack. They need a longer relationship with the basics.”“Success is cool.

Send us Fan MailIf you stopped producing, achieving, earning, building, or winning, would you still know who you are?For many high achievers, productivity is no longer something they do. It has become the foundation of their identity. Accomplishment makes them feel valuable. Slowing down creates guilt. Rest feels uncomfortable, and an unproductive day can feel like evidence that they are falling behind.In this episode of The Mindset Cafe, Devan Gonzalez explores the hidden connection between productivity, self-worth, achievement addiction, and identity. He breaks down how ambition can quietly turn into a constant need to prove yourself, why successful people struggle to enjoy rest, and what happens when a business setback, injury, retirement, vacation, or major life transition removes the role that once made them feel important.You will learn how to recognize productivity guilt, separate your identity from your results, maintain high standards without making every outcome personal, and build a stronger sense of self that does not disappear when your performance changes.This episode is not about becoming less ambitious. It is about making sure your ambition serves your life instead of becoming the only reason you believe your life has value.Ask yourself the question most high performers avoid:If you're not producing, who are you?Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/Let me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------Are you taking the right supplements to maximize your mind and body in fitness & health.

“What you think is not gospel.”Can arguing with yourself make you happier? Martin Seligman, positive psychology pioneer and author of Agency: The Psychological History of Human Progress, says our negative thoughts don't have to dictate how we feel. By recognizing our internal narratives and challenging them with evidence, we can change our outlook and build a greater sense of agency. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seligman and Matt Abrahams discuss flourishing, optimism, and the power of self-talk. They also examine why celebrating other people's successes takes more than saying “congratulations,” and how active, constructive communication can deepen our relationships.Takeaways:Your thoughts aren't facts. Negative self-talk can shape your emotions and actions, but learning to challenge those thoughts with realistic evidence can help you develop a more optimistic outlook.Celebrate success with curiosity, not just congratulations. Asking thoughtful questions about someone's good news helps them relive the experience and can deepen your relationship.Activity:Argue with yourself. Catch one negative thought you have about yourself this week and write it down as an argument rather than a fact. Then build the opposing case by listing three pieces of real evidence that challenge it.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Martin SeligmanMartin's Book: AgencyEp.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & WellbeingEp.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communicat…  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:20) - The Five Pillars of Flourishing (04:51) - Changing Your Inner Dialogue (06:22) - Challenging Negative Self-Talk (07:58) - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome (09:38) - Building a Sense of Agency (11:27) - Learning From Your Critics (13:18) - The Final Three Questions (20:17) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.With Hiring Pro, you can hire with confidence, knowing you're getting the best talent for your needs.

This week's episode of the podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in the upcoming midterms. The speaker breaks down the significance of the historic GOP midterms convention, where President Trump is taking a bold step to mobilize his base and turn the tide in favor of the Republican Party. The midterms are shaping up to be a crucial test for both parties, with the incumbent party typically facing an uphill battle. However, President Trump is determined to buck this trend, and his strategy involves highlighting the party's accomplishments and platforming Republican candidates in tight races. The speaker discusses the importance of having an agenda and exposing the "crazy" of the DSA, which is driving the Democratic Party's platform. The convention will feature a star-studded lineup, including President Trump, Vice President Pence, and several high-profile Republicans. The speaker also touches on the significance of the event in mobilizing Trump voters and getting them to turn out in November, despite the president's lower polling numbers. If you're interested in understanding the intricacies of the midterms and how the Republican Party plans to take back control, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and discussion of the key issues at play.

Matthew 7: 24-27, “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is build on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Jesus tells a simple story, but its message is anything but simple. Two people build two houses. One builds on rock. The other builds on sand. Both houses look fine when the sun is shining. Both appear strong. But everything changes when the storm comes. The rain pours. The floodwaters rise. The winds beat against both houses. And suddenly, the difference between the two builders becomes obvious. On the coast of Southern California are gorgeous homes built along the cliff of the Pacific Ocean. Their views are priceless – but the homes are now worthless. Why? Because they’re literally falling into the ocean. The sandy cliffs are crumbling with each storm that comes through. They’re for sale but no one will buy them. Why is that? Because they’re now a huge liability and inevitably doomed. One home fell into the ocean and the owners were fined $100,000 per day until the mess was cleaned up. You know what this tells us – building your home on the wrong foundation is entirely too costly! We can’t afford that, my friends! One of my favorite retreat houses was a mansion in Cape Cod. It was absolutely stunning, sitting on a peninsula all by itself with views for miles of water from every window in the house. We were the last people to get to stay in that mansion because the sandy bluff it was built on collapsed. The entire house was torn down knowing it wouldn’t survive the next storm. Who would build a house on land like that? Oh girl, when you’re focused on that view, it’s easy to be fooled. That makes me question – what would fool me? Success has fooled me in the past. Looks have fooled me in the past. Money has fooled me several times. I’ve been a fool building great things on the sand more than once – have you? It all has a real special way of crumbling and leaving a massive mess. Jesus says the wise builder is the person who listens to His teaching and follows it. The foolish builder is the person who hears His teaching but doesn’t obey it. Did you catch that? The difference isn’t who heard Jesus. They both heard Him. The difference was what they did with what they heard. That makes this parable intensely personal. You and I are the builders and we’re choosing our foundations today. Will what we are doing today last – or will it be another mess to clean up when it crumbles? It’s possible to know God’s Word without building your life on it. We can hear a sermon, highlight a verse, and even agree with everything Jesus says – and then walk away and live according to our own wisdom and our own feelings. We can get fooled by the views and build on the sand. Jesus says that’s foolish. This is huge – make a note – Information isn’t the foundation. Obedience is. (Let’s make sure you really get that – information is not your foundation. Information will not save you. Obedience is. Hearing about Jesus is not enough. Knowing his word isn’t enough. You have to do something with this!) Maybe you know Jesus says to forgive, but you’re still holding tightly to that hurt. Maybe you know He tells you not to worry, but anxiety is still controlling your thoughts. Maybe you know He tells you to love your enemies, but you’ve decided someone is the exception. Maybe you know He tells you to trust Him, but you’re desperately trying to control an outcome He never asked you to control. You know what He says. But are you building your life on it? Jesus is our solid rock. Psalm 18:2 says, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior.” When Jesus is our foundation, we have something solid beneath us when everything around us begins to shake. (And shake it will.) Notice something very important about Jesus’ story: Both houses experienced the storm. The house on the rock wasn’t protected from the rain. The flood still rose. The wind still beat against it. Following Jesus doesn’t mean you’ll never have a storm. You will. I seemed to miss that truth early in my journey with Jesus. I was shocked when our business fell apart. I was absolutely shocked when we couldn’t pay the bills. I couldn’t understand why we weren’t protected from those hardships. Somewhere along the way, I had formed an expectation that if I followed Jesus, He would keep the really hard stuff from happening to me. I was naive enough to think Jesus was the perpetual storm stopper. He’s not. Yes, Jesus has the power to stop storms. We’ve seen Him do that. But sometimes He calms the storm, and sometimes He allows us to walk through it. And when He doesn’t stop the storm, that doesn’t mean He has stopped being good, faithful, or present. Sometimes Jesus doesn’t remove the storm. He reveals that He is strong enough to hold us through it. That was a lesson I had to learn. The promise was never that my house would never be hit by wind. The promise was that if my house was built on Him, the wind wouldn’t be able to take it down. I had confused God’s protection with God’s prevention. I thought being protected meant the storm wouldn’t come. Jesus teaches us that sometimes being protected means the storm comes—and we don’t collapse. The business can fall apart, and you can still have peace. The bills can pile up, and you can still trust God. The diagnosis can come, and you can still know He is with you. The relationship can break, and you can still believe He is good. The future can feel uncertain, and you can still stand. That’s what it means to build on the rock. Jesus doesn’t promise a life without storms. He promises with him, you have a foundation strong enough to withstand them. And sometimes, we don’t recognize how solid our foundation is until the storm gives us the opportunity to find out. There will be seasons of disappointment, loss, uncertainty, heartbreak, financial pressure, relational conflict, unanswered prayers, and circumstances you never saw coming. None of us were promised perpetually sunny skies. But we were given something far more valuable than a storm-free life. We were given a foundation that can withstand the storm. The storm doesn’t determine whether your foundation is strong. The storm reveals it. When life is going well, almost anything can feel like a foundation. Success can make you feel secure. Money can make you feel safe. A relationship can make you feel loved. Accomplishment can make you feel valuable. Control can make you feel powerful. People’s approval can make you feel worthy. But then the storm comes. And suddenly you discover that what you thought was holding you up was never strong enough to hold you at all. That’s why we don’t wait for the storm to start building on the rock. You build before the storm. You build when you’re making ordinary decisions on ordinary days. You build when you choose truth instead of convenience. When you choose obedience instead of what feels good. When you choose prayer instead of panic. When you surrender control instead of trying to manipulate an outcome. When you choose God’s approval over people’s approval. It’s all here in Jesus’ teachings for us – that’s our solid rock foundation. Those choices may not feel significant in the moment, but they are laying stone beneath your life. And when the storm comes, you’ll discover what you’ve been building all along. We can’t claim we don’t know what Jesus teaches. God’s Word has been recorded, preserved, and put right into our hands. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and powerful.” These aren’t just some ancient words sitting on a page. God’s Word speaks into our lives today. It challenges us, corrects us, comforts us, convicts us, and changes us – but only when we allow it to move beyond our ears and into our lives. There’s power in these words, but the power has to be plugged into. We plug into the power of God’s word when we actually DO WHAT IT SAYS. Don’t just read the Word. Build on it. Don’t just hear what Jesus says. Do what He says. Because someday the storm will come. And when it does, you don’t want to discover that you’ve spent your life building on sand. You want to still be standing. Build your life on Jesus. Build it on His truth. Build it on obedience. The storm may shake you. But it doesn’t have to destroy you. When Jesus is your foundation, you can stand.

This documentary examines the life and teachings of Manly P. Hall, the most significant philosopher and spiritual teacher of the 20th century.Hall was a scholar of ancient civilizations and a lecturer who emerged almost fully-formed as a Plato-like sage in Los Angeles in the early 1920s. It still defies explanation how he published perhaps the greatest work of philosophical scholarship in modern history, The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928), at the ripe young age of 27. There was something more to the man than him being merely a prodigy or genius - an Inner Light shone brightly out through him, and it was this Inner Light that gave Manly Hall his unmistakable greatness. In this documentary by philosopher Alexander Sachon, author of “Manly P. Hall: The Maestro of Esoteric Philosophy” (2023), the viewer tracks Hall's rise as a teacher, while also examining the central ideas at the heart of the system of philosophy he taught with unvarying precision over his lengthy 70-year career. The video also explores Hall's deep connection to the institution of the Mystery Schools, as well as to the Scottish Rite branch of Freemasonry. Most importantly, it features over 30-minutes of rare archival footage of Hall lecturing during the last year or so of his life. In this footage, Hall lays out his conclusions about what the essential meaning of Life is and what mankind's place in the Universe ultimately amounts to. Whether you're new to esoteric philosophy or a longtime student of Manly Hall's work, this deep dive into the life of the Maestro is essential viewing.

John 6:22-66 (part 2) Last week we focused on key words, themes, and progressions.  This week we (quickly) work through the narrative between Jesus and the large crowd of (fickle) disciples.  Pro Tip: The two messages compliment one another. Earlier in the worship gathering, a relevant quote pertaining to God's sovereign grace and the free call of the gospel (John 6:35-40) was as follows: "Do you want to be one of God's people?  These blessings which God gives to them, do you want to have them?   You may have them, if you will.  If you will not have them, I pray you do not quarrel with God because He chooses to give them where He wills.  There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it; the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen; and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree."   - Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

This documentary examines the life and teachings of Manly P. Hall, the most significant philosophical teacher of the 20th century and the most underrated historical figure of modern times. Hall was a philosophic scholar and lecturer who emerged almost fully-formed as a Plato-like sage in Los Angeles in the early 1920s. Still, it defies explanation how published perhaps the greatest work of philosophical scholarship in modern history, The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928), at the ripe young age of 27. There was something more to the man than him being merely a prodigy or genius - an Inner Light shone brightly out through him, and it was this Inner Light that gave Manly Hall his unmistakable greatness. In this documentary by philosopher Alexander Sachon, author of “Manly P. Hall: The Maestro of Esoteric Philosophy” (2023), the viewer tracks Hall's rise as a teacher, while also examining the central ideas at the heart of the system of philosophy he taught with unvarying precision over his lengthy 70-year career. The video also explores Hall's deep connection to the institution of the Mystery Schools, as well as to the Scottish Rite branch of Freemasonry. Most importantly, it features over 30-minutes of rare archival footage of Hall lecturing during the last year or so of his life. In this footage, Hall lays out his conclusions about what the essential meaning of Life is and what mankind's place in the Universe ultimately amounts to. Whether you're new to esoteric philosophy or a longtime student of Manly Hall's work, this deep dive into the life of the Maestro is essential viewing.

On our political radar this week… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Republican general election strategy has been launched. It's a 3-legged stool of misdirection: Gaslight voters on the economy, taxes and Trump's failed war against Iran Accuse any and all Democrats of wanting to bring Communism to America Constantly remind voters that Abdul El-Sayed is a Muslim which makes him a terrorist – the 2026 version of Trump's claim that Obama was born in Kenya Trump gave Democrats another campaign talking point this week with a bonkers Executive Order urging fewer vaccinations for children, something that doctors are vehemently saying will cause the preventable deaths of children. Trump's basis for the E.O? Some people have been saying things! By “some people”, he mostly means Bobby Kennedy Jr. and the anti-vax conspiracy cabal. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel, State Rep. Julie Brixie and Eric Schneidewind of Protect Our Care Michigan State Democrats have kicked off their counter-campaign, focusing on the actual state of the economy, healthcare, abortion rights and Trump's unprecedented corruption. They've labeled their the gubernatorial portion of their campaign “The John James: Out for Himself” tour. (Andrew Roth/Michigan Advance) The last few days have shown that every vote, does in fact, matter. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed's margin over Haley Stevens was 0.95 percent. In Wisconsin, DSA gubernatorial candidate Francesca Wong lost to David Crowley by 0.5 percent, just 3,706 votes. And in Indiana, a recount this last week in a hotly contested Republican state Senate primary was decided by 3 votes. John James has announced he will work to protect Michigan from the half-dozen or so transgender girls participating in high school sports. According to the Michigan High School Athletic Association, every year one or two transgender girls apply for a waiver to join a team. According to the MHSAA, nearly 300-thousand Michigan boys and girls are on their school teams this year. No word yet on what James has planned for the other 299-thousand. In Michigan, we'll be voting on whether to rewrite the state's constitution through a constitutional convention.That's because the current constitution, adopted 62 years ago, requires a vote on a having a Con-Con every 16 years. We've voted on the question 3 times over the years, and each time it was defeated overwhelmingly. A new Con-Con would, without doubt, be batshit crazy. Leaders all across the political spectrum have lined up urging a ‘no' vote. Mark Fisk and John Sellek Joining the conversation: two leaders in the “Vote No” campaign.

What happens when a journalist who hates the cold decides to spend three years immersing himself in one of the most extreme athletic subcultures on Earth? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with award-winning journalist and author Chris Ballard to explore the world behind his book The Plunge. After a hip replacement at just 42 forced Chris to rethink his identity as an athlete, cold water initially became a tool for recovery. But curiosity eventually pulled him much deeper, from cold showers and plunges to competitive ice swimming in water below 41°F and ultimately representing the United States at the Ice Swimming World Championships. Together, Darin and Chris separate cold exposure hype from reality, explore what actually happens to the body in freezing water, and reveal why the greatest benefits Chris discovered weren't necessarily physical. They dive into resilience, emotional regulation, mental health, community, our increasingly comfortable modern lives, and why voluntarily doing difficult things may provide something many of us desperately need. What You'll Learn How a hip replacement at 42 led Chris into the world of cold exposure What officially qualifies as ice swimming and why 41°F is the threshold Which popular cold plunge benefits may be overhyped Why community became the most surprising theme of Chris's research How body composition and genetics influence cold tolerance The real dangers of extreme cold and the 1-10-1 survival rule How repeated cold exposure may train emotional regulation and resilience Why cultures in Finland and Denmark treat cold exposure completely differently than Americans How cold swimming has helped some people navigate grief, depression, and isolation Why deliberately doing hard things may matter more than ever in a world built around convenience Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:24 – Introducing Chris Ballard and the world of cold water swimming 00:04:29 – The hip replacement that changed Chris's life at 42 00:05:40 – How NBA recovery techniques led him to cold exposure 00:07:34 – Going from cold plunges to competitive ice swimming 00:09:40 – Inside the extreme subculture of swimming below 41°F 00:11:01 – The challenge that convinced Chris to compete himself 00:12:17 – Ice swimming and the original spirit of the Winter Olympics 00:13:21 – How to safely begin training for cold exposure 00:15:14 – What officially qualifies as ice swimming? 00:16:20 – Separating cold plunge science from hype 00:17:15 – The most surprising benefit wasn't physical 00:18:05 – Why cold swimming creates such powerful community 00:19:29 – Cold exposure, loneliness, and human connection 00:20:45 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:22:33 – Why actually getting in the water changed Chris's reporting 00:23:47 – The surprising body type advantage in cold water 00:25:19 – Grandmothers, elite athletes, and the mental side of ice swimming 00:26:09 – When cold water becomes genuinely dangerous 00:27:02 – The 1-10-1 rule for surviving cold water 00:29:41 – Chris attempts an ice kilometer 00:30:28 – Has modern comfort made us weaker? 00:32:19 – Why Finland laughs at America's cold plunge protocols 00:33:36 – The cold plunge benefits that may be overhyped 00:35:51 – Can you train your body to generate heat? 00:36:51 – Anticipatory thermogenesis and extreme cold adaptation 00:38:12 – How three years of cold exposure changed Chris's body 00:39:44 – Training emotional regulation through voluntary discomfort 00:40:48 – Building resilience one difficult moment at a time 00:42:02 – Why modern life is starving us of accomplishment 00:44:13 – AI, shortcuts, and why difficult work still matters 00:46:30 – Why Chris believes experiential storytelling can't be replaced 00:48:55 – The extraordinary people Chris discovered while writing The Plunge 00:49:57 – Cold water, grief, and finding a reason to keep moving 00:50:52 – How cold swimming became a mental health lifeline 00:52:09 – A global community united by challenge 00:53:51 – What Chris's cold exposure routine looks like today 00:54:27 – Why swimming may be the perfect lifelong sport 00:55:05 – Making the U.S. Ice Swimming National Team 00:56:05 – Could ice swimming become an Olympic sport? 00:57:17 – Why swimming through freezing water feels completely different 00:58:01 – Cold water forces you completely into the present moment 00:58:29 – Cold swimming, men's mental health, and escaping your thoughts 00:59:13 – What's next for Chris Ballard 00:59:35 – Accomplishment versus scrolling 01:00:00 – Final thoughts and making cold exposure accessible Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

Lee Woodruff's life reads like fiction — a college meet-not-quite-cute with her future husband Bob, a front-row seat to the Tiananmen Square crackdown that redirected Bob's entire career, his meteoric rise to co-anchor of ABC's World News Tonight, and then, just weeks into that dream job, a roadside bomb in Iraq that nearly killed him.  In this conversation, Lee shares how she got the call while at Disney World with their four kids, the surreal days that followed, and the 36-day coma that ended with Bob speaking Mandarin and French before he could speak English again. She opens up about "ambiguous loss" — the complicated grief of loving someone who survived but changed — and the "four F's" (family, friends, funny, faith) that got her through. Lee also talks candidly about the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which has now raised more than $80 million for veterans and military families, and about her own definition of optimism: not the absence of hard days, but the belief that tomorrow can be better.     Chapters:  00:31 The Woodruff Story: Love and Triumph 02:08 A Life of Accomplishments 04:42 The Impact of Tiananmen Square 08:31 The Shocking News 12:14 The Four F's: Coping Mechanisms 13:16 The Birth of the Bob Woodruff Foundation 16:03 Finding Strength in Adversity 19:14 Bob's Remarkable Recovery 22:05 Navigating Complicated Grief 25:57 The Pursuit of Happiness 29:02 The Foundation's Humble Beginnings 30:31 Innovative Solutions for Veterans 32:06 Mobilizing Awareness Through Personal Experience 33:05 Navigating Caregiving and Grief 35:30 The Journey of Optimism 37:11 The Impact on Family: Growing Through Adversity 40:49 Looking Ahead: New Ventures and Aspirations
