It was a pleasure to speak with Jessica and listen as she shared all that she experienced as a high school drop out and single mother with a husband behind bars. This major turning point in her life, motivated her to complete her GED as well as complete college and law school, with honors, in order to help those similarly unfamiliar with the way the criminal justice system works. When you hear the compelling stories about both Jessica and her mother, you'll say, 'the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.' Both women have been working tirelessly for decades in order to educate victims and their family members, as well as inform society to be more compassionate and aware and to update the parole and probation system. Resilience is one of the words that Jessica uses over and over again when describing her mother Maria who is originally from Stockholm, Sweden. Jessica also describes her mom as "a pioneer in her field." Very early on in the AIDS epidemic, Maria was involved with helping patients and their families maneuver the scary waters of a frightening disease. While in graduate school, Maria brought her days old daughter Jessica with her to class. Jessica went where ever her mother took her, to HIV/Aids conferences, seminars, etc. "She showed us" says Jessica, when referring to her mother, "by her actions, not her words, on how to live life." Jessica was adamant about how her mom had a "show them, don't tell them" philosophy about life. In other words, Maria was an example by her actions, not her words. Jessica reflects, "I never once saw my mom give up." Again, the parallels between mother and daughter are striking, Maria working with HIV/AIDS patients and Jessica with people in prison. Again, those whose lives were turned upside down, found a smart, caring and devoted women to make a difference in these unfortunate individuals lives. When Kim Kardashian West wanted tutoring in law once aware of wrongfully incarcerated first time offenders, she went to Jessica Jackson for help. On November 29, 2019, USA Today wrote "Kim Kardashian West came on board with the campaign after she heard about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had served 21 years of a life sentence for her first-ever drug conviction, and was moved to help. Kardashian West was instrumental in convincing Trump to grant Johnson clemency. " That's just one of thousands of cases that Jackson has had overturned and continues to fight in order to get families back together under one roof. Both of these women with all that they have accomplished and continue to accomplish is living proof that if you set your mind to something, anything and everything is possible. As Maria said to her daughter "you can do anything, you can achieve anything, if you work hard enough." REFORM Alliance Mission Statement: REFORM Alliance aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing. A justice system that holds people accountable and redirects back to work and wellbeing leads to stronger families and safer communities. Instead of keeping people trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison — which costs taxpayers billions of dollars — we're working to move people from the justice system into stability. History REFORM's story starts with the unjust re-imprisonment of recording artist Meek Mill. The shocking two-to-four year sentence he received for popping a wheelie spurred the international #FreeMeek movement, which led to release on bail and eventually his freedom. Although Meek had the resources and public platform to fight his case, his case is only one of millions. The vast majority of people trapped in the system don't get their stories told, or have the resources to fight back. On January 23, 2019, a world-class group of philanthropists and activists came together to launch the REFORM Alliance to change this REFORM Alliance 1675 Broadway, 21st Floor New York, NY 10019-5820 If you would like to learn more about how to support REFORM, please contact us at development@reformalliance.com. #cut50-Co founder along with Van JonesAn organization designed to cut prison populations, but also wipe out the stigmas associated with being incarcerated because of the current criminal justice system.

Have you ever felt like you need to do more, be better, or prove yourself before God can truly accept you?In this message, Ps Sam Paul Pilli explores one of the oldest lies we still believe today: that our value comes from our performance. Drawing from Ephesians 2, he unpacks the difference between living to earn approval and living from the grace we've already been given.Through relatable stories, practical examples, and biblical insight, Sam reminds us that God's love isn't something we achieve through effort, success, or spiritual performance. It's a gift. Before we accomplish anything, before we get everything right, we are already known, accepted, and loved in Christ.This message is for anyone who feels trapped by expectations, exhausted by striving, or weighed down by the pressure to measure up. Grace doesn't lower the standard of life. It changes the starting point.Take a moment to listen, reflect, and rediscover the freedom that comes when you stop striving for acceptance and start living from it.

In episode 2 of The Manager's Field Guide, Wendy Loewen continues the conversation with Daniel Anthony Doerksen and Chris Downey as they continue their series on You Can Manage: A Practical Guide to Becoming the Manager Everyone Wants, focusing on Essential 1: “Start with You”. They discuss how strongly managers shape people's workplace experience, citing research that 70% of engagement variance links to the direct manager and that a direct manager influences mental health and wellbeing as much as a spouse. The conversation emphasizes grounding management in “ways of being” before “ways of doing,” clarifying personal purpose and values, and creating a leadership charter to define the kind of manager you want to be. They highlight the intentions–impact gap, the need for feedback to reduce blind spots, and recommend self-care as an ethical responsibility.

Doing more is not always the answer. Sometimes the fastest way to scale is to subtract. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the strategy of subtraction and why simplifying your business can create more revenue, more speed, and more freedom. Let's be real… More products do not always mean more profit. More services do not always mean more value. More complexity does not always mean more growth. Sometimes it just means more chaos. In this episode, you'll learn: Why doing one thing flawlessly beats doing a thousand things decently How complexity destroys efficiency, margins, and fulfillment Why cutting weak offers can strengthen your entire business How simplicity creates faster execution and cleaner scale The truth is simple: Complexity is the enemy of leverage. If every client needs a custom solution… If every offer requires a different process… If your team is constantly switching directions… You do not have a scalable business. You have operational chaos. High-level operators do not keep adding just to feel productive. They subtract. They prune. They simplify. They identify the highest-margin winner and build everything around it. Because when your business becomes simple… Your team moves faster. Your delivery gets better. Your margins increase. And your core offer becomes impossible to ignore. Cut the noise. Refine the process. Master the one thing. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Your biggest goals might be losing because your rewards arrive too late.If you have ever crushed a plan for a week, then slid back into old patterns, the issue is not that you are “lazy” or “not disciplined enough.” We are wired to repeat what feels good right now, and that wiring runs the show when you are trying to build consistent habits for long-term goals.I am Angela Shurina, and I break down a research-backed habit formation principle drawn from behavioral psychology and neuroscience: immediate rewards create lasting behavior. We talk about why celebrating big milestones does not build the habits that lead to those milestones, why fantasizing about goals can fall flat without the right practice, and how Pavlov's conditioning research points to a surprisingly tight timing window. When the good feeling comes within seconds of the behavior, your brain connects the dots. When it comes weeks later, it does not.You will leave with practical ways to celebrate micro wins so your workouts, nutrition choices, bedtime routines, learning sessions, or even uncomfortable tasks like sales calls start to feel easier and more satisfying.

Too many options isn't freedom. It's paralysis dressed up as possibility. David Epstein, investigative journalist and author of the bestseller Range, is back with a counterintuitive idea: the constraints you've been avoiding might be the exact thing that unlocks your best work. His new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, makes the case that boundaries don't limit you. They focus you. You'll hear how a company in the early nineties assembled arguably the greatest collection of tech talent ever, had unlimited resources, and still collapsed under the weight of its own options. Meanwhile, two people who left that company with small, focused projects built eBay and the Palm Pilot. The lesson isn't about talent. It's about the bounding box. David introduces his BCS Press Release framework: batch your work so you're not toggling all day, make your commitments visible so you can actually subtract the right ones, use satisficing rules to make decisions without drowning in choices, and write the press release before you start anything, so you know what matters before you're too deep in to see clearly. This conversation also gets personal. David talks about the childhood arm injury that ended his baseball career and pushed him toward running and memory techniques he still uses today. He opens up about forgiveness, about the grudges that are hard to shake, and about the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest study of human happiness ever conducted, which concluded that happiness is love. Real relationships. Mutual obligation. The stuff you keep forgetting to schedule.

Elbridge Colby argues that Beijing has abandoned its "hide and bide" approach for a more assertive, aggressive posture. China's most effective strategy to achieve regional dominance is a focused and sequential plan designed to undermine confidence in U.S. leadership. By targeting vulnerable but significant coalition members, China aims to demonstrate the coalition's hollowness without precipitating a costly total war. Colby argues that targeting a U.S.-linked partner like Taiwan is strategically superior for Beijing, as it serves as a "canary in the coal mine" for U.S. credibility, forcing other regional states to consider cutting deals with China.

He shares practical strategies for staying productive, avoiding distractions, and recognizing when it's time to pivot, helping listeners build a more fulfilling definition of success on their own terms. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.marcbilodeau.com/success/ Quotes to ponder: "Success is built upon a person's ability to do work effectively, and to capitalize on opportunities that further their goals." "The key takeaway is to identify when things aren't going well and be willing to stop or pivot to something new regardless of how much time and effort have been invested." "Successful people find meaning in their work, have a sense of accomplishment, focus on the tasks at hand, and have fun along the way regardless of the outcome."
