Have you ever felt like a fraud or doubted your accomplishments? In this episode, Kevin welcomes Aoife O'Brien to discuss the often-misunderstood phenomenon of imposter syndrome. Aoife shares research that led her to identify five distinct imposter identities: The Overachiever, The Comparer, The People Pleaser, The Procrastinator, and The Success Fearer, and explains how these behaviors show up and affect individuals and teams. They also talk about how common imposter syndrome is in the workplace, how it can hurt performance and confidence, and how leaders can recognize and support team members who might be struggling. Aoife also introduces her simple ABCDE framework as a practical tool for overcoming imposter thoughts.

Today, I share additional thoughts on the Victor/Victim topic as well as dive deeper into the homestead buying club concept. Heads up! Self-Reliance Festival ticket prices go up tomorrow at midnight — if you've been on the fence, now's the time: https://selfreliancefestival.com Featured Event Paul Wheaton has a pretty cool Kickstarter that's in early bird mode through today. The project? A movie about how they developed the “Willow Feeder,” their hands-off human waste composting system at Wheaton Labs. They've spent years refining this setup, and now they're ready to share it with the world. If you toss in just $1 today, you get early supporter perks — including extra stuff they won't offer later.

The shed will be turned into a camping cabin (with AC). Who wants to come to a workday to help us get the areas looking nice? Main Topic of the Day: Homestead Buying Club and VictorhoodHomestead Buying Club and Empowering Homesteaders First off, I listened to the interview with Tactical and so very much appreciated him sharing his story and I found it really impactful and also inspiring in continuing on my own healing journey and personal growth, hopefully with some new ideas. Second, last week's podcast about being a victor or victim was also helpful. It's the midst of burnout season for a lot of farmers (especially production based). It's all got my wheels turning again about an idea I had exactly a year ago after talking with another market vendor friend and being sick of all the sundresses and floppy hats and picturesque unrealistic homestead Instagram crap. I don't really know the exact vision but just craving a support group of people in similar situations. See the image I made below: But at the same time, the stress of farming for men is insane too. I know because I see it in Adam. He needs a community of like minded people. He's more isolated these days because he always feels behind on the farm. We are in a crucial make or break time with our expansion so it's been particularly stressful especially with cash flow management. I know it'll all work out but it can be tough. Adam left his full time job. I love the idea you had of a farm to table meal. Also, I've had ideas before of a “homestead Home Depot” salvage (like super cheap consignment or free scraps) where people can look to get spare items others don't need anymore to build things on their homestead. The bad thing is I know everybody likes to keep their own personal junk piles cause “they might need it” but used lumber and scrap metal, animal feeders, heat lamps, waterers, fencing etc can all help people get started or attain something on a budget. A network of people in the community willing to help people farm sit so that if ever there was a chance to travel you could pay someone familiar with handling livestock etc. Also, on a personal level for our business, if you get a pma in place, I'm *guessing* you could custom butcher a hog and still sell the individual cuts to holler hub members. There's some gray area there that I don't know about. If it was legal that way that would save people a good bit of money for super high quality pork. In any case, I've got 23 pigs ready in another month or two that I need to displace. We don't have freezer space for all 23 so I'm hoping to get some customs sold too These are all things that go on inside my brain and since you'd been discussing the holler hub, I thought I'd spill my ideas because I'm honestly overwhelmed with incubating and improving our current business model and not trying to start new ones at this time! I would still like for us to get out and about and adventure to your place for the next gathering so we'll bring your requested meats then unless you need otherwise. VICTORHOODAfter listening to Episode 1060, I had some thoughts on the content. I'll try not to be too long winded but having lived a life full of adversity and still navigating the fall out from some things, I have quite a bit of thoughts. While I don't hope to magically cure anyone, I do hope to plant some seeds for thought. Towards the end of the episode there was a hypothetical posed. I just want to say, as someone who has personally experienced abuse, I wanted to reiterate that any victim of a crime is never responsible for what their abuser does. They are ONLY responsible for their own healing. It's not fair, but it is our responsibility in how we move forward. As life is, we sometimes trust the wrong people, sometimes we are born to them, sometimes we are the person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your singular responsibility, your role is not becoming a hurt person who hurts people. This is how we break cycles. This is how we become better people despite our adverse experiences. This is true when we get terminal diagnosis, we grew up in familial dysfunction, war, flooding, natural disaster and plagues. We lose people through death and abandonment. There are tons of adverse experiences we might not have placed ourselves in, however, we have choices, sometimes all of them are shit. Other times you must call yourself on your own shit. But remember, even manure can grow flowers and mushrooms. On Forgiveness, there are 4 steps. Tell the story Name the hurt Grant Forgiveness Renew or Release the Relationship While that sounds much simpler than it is, these are the steps one must take. Once you have granted forgiveness, you are not allowed to continue to punish someone for the hurt they caused, that however, does not mean you stop talking about it. It means being able to talk to the transgressor in a way that opens a door for continued forgiveness. Telling the story doesn't mean you stand on stage and out the person. It means you speak directly to the person who caused the hurt. It means you reach out to trusted allies for perspective and support. When we are emotionally escalated, our thoughts can get carried away. Practice pausing when your emotions are heightened. Nothing big will ever be able to be solved overnight. That means you do not have to have an answer today, tonight or even tomorrow. It only means you have a willingness to come together on the subject. Forgiveness is a practice. This means that sometimes you will have to choose to forgive over and over again. Every time that hurt or betrayal surfaces, you will have a decision to make. This makes repair work exceptionally important. If you are willing to forgive and the other person does not want to do repair work, you are entering a cycle of continued harm. Please know when to walk away. Sometimes the person you have to forgive is yourself. This is imperative for any repair and healing work. And finally steps to changing negative thought cycles: Pause and Notice -What am I thinking right now? Become aware of the loop, what is the thought or repeating pattern. Name the Pattern- What kind of thought is this? Am I catastrophizing, black and white thinking, mind reading (assuming I know what someone is thinking or judging me) or criticism? Feel and Validate- What feeling is driving this thought? Most negative thoughts are a reflection of an unmet need Acknowledge and name it with kindness instead of judgment or suppression Reframe the thought- What is a kinder, truer, and more empowering thought? Don't sugarcoat just shift towards something more balanced and compassionate. Ex: I've made mistakes, but I am learning, and mistakes do not define my character or value system. That was a good learning moment for me because I can be more aware of that moving forward. Look for evidence to prove yourself wrong. Think of this, if I am feeling unlovable, perhaps it's helpful to think of moments or people who make me feel genuinely cared for and loved. If I think I always have bad luck, try to remember a time when something worked out for me. Proving negative thoughts wrong can help disrupt the negative thoughts train. Shift and Choose- What supportive action can I take now? Do something that helps you reset. This can be journaling, breath work or moving your body. Do something that is for yourself, just YOU. Pouring yourself into something (like work) instead can be emotional bypassing. You want to be in your body and body aware, not avoiding it. Anyway, I hope all of this is helpful. I hope it gives some actionable steps to those who aren't certain where to start. And I hope this makes you all feel more free. Freedom is often found in the work we are avoiding. I want to add that you are worth your own 20 minutes for journaling, for a cup of quite coffee, for moving your body in a way that feels good to you. You have not received all the goodness you'll ever have in your life YET. But all of that begins and ends with you. Make it a great week. GUYS!

Don't let the current world tensions drag you down. Acknowledge them, then let them go. Our new AI world promises overnight millionaires, but it's just marketing. To find your purpose, you must do what you love. Anyway, I'm back from my family summer visit, and I'm glad to be back in my chair reading tarot for you! I get a little chatty in this episode; I just missed you guys and wanted to fill you in. This week, we work on that bag of trash your ex left you holding. It's time to let that go too. This new thing you have going can only be hindered by your and their trauma responses. Drop the baggage, that's how you heal. Nothing in that bag is worth keeping. Tis' just a scratch. Because of your ex, the love you share will be loyal. I end with a brainstorming session for new sexting cards. To confess, I just included this segment for the Chinese finger trap joke, but I will be writing down a few ideas for a sexy messages segment. I'm ready to enjoy the rest of this summer and get back to more fun, light-hearted content. Boy, all this great weather feels good! ⚠️ These are performances and for entertainment purposes only.

Have You Lost Jesus In Your Life? Duncan Crook | July 13, 2025 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Have you ever lost track of a child for even a moment? That panic is nothing compared to losing fellowship with Jesus in your life. In this powerful message, Duncan Crook uses the story of 12-year-old Jesus being left behind in Jerusalem to reveal how even the most devoted believers can lose intimate fellowship with Christ. Through Luke 2:41-52, discover the difference between losing your relationship with Jesus (impossible) and losing fellowship with Him (all too common). Learn the warning signs, understand how it happens gradually, and most importantly, find the path back to restored intimacy with your Savior. Core Message: You can't lose your relationship with Jesus, but you can lose fellowship with Him - and there's a way back. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Reality of Lost Fellowship - The difference between losing relationship vs. losing fellowship with Jesus - Why even the closest believers can lose their sense of Jesus' presence - The story of the coworker who "found Jesus" then seemed to lose Him again The Biblical Foundation: Jesus Lost in Jerusalem - Jewish travel customs that explain how Mary and Joseph lost Jesus - The significance of Jesus' Bar Mitzvah and coming of age at 12 - Why both parents assumed Jesus was with the other group The Security of Salvation vs. Fellowship - Once saved, always saved - but not a license to sin - Marriage analogy: relationship vs. fellowship maintenance - Why true believers don't want to persist in sin Who Can Lose Fellowship with Jesus - The shocking truth: those closest to Him are most vulnerable - Former pastors, deacons, and church leaders who've fallen away - How you can attend church regularly and still lose fellowship The Gradual Nature of Spiritual Drift - Why losing Jesus doesn't happen overnight - The danger of small steps away from Christ - The Inuit wolf-hunting illustration about gradual spiritual destruction The Samson Syndrome - How Samson lost God's presence without realizing it - The tragedy of assuming God is still with you while living in sin - Recognition that spiritual strength comes from God, not ourselves The Path Back to Fellowship - Step 1: Acknowledge that you have left Him - Step 2: Diligently begin to seek Him with persistence - Step 3: Return to the place you left Him David's Example of Restoration - How "a man after God's own heart" lost fellowship through compromise - The progression from spiritual laziness to adultery and murder - Psalm 51 as a model for genuine repentance and restoration ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "Have you ever been somewhere with a small child and turn your back for a second- and the child has gone?" "How easy it is to sometimes seem to lose Jesus in our lives." "I have a good Greek word for that: Hogwash." "If you are born again, you don't want to sin! You are a new creature in Christ." "Has there ever been a time in your life when you were consistently closer to Jesus than you are right now? If the answer is yes, then you have lost Jesus." "Sometimes we stay so busy in church doing religious things that we miss Jesus." "Jesus didn't leave Mary and Joseph; they left Him." "You can't afford one day out of fellowship with Jesus." "He awoke from his sleep and thought, 'I'll go out as before and shake myself free.' But he did not know that the Lord had left him." "You will never reclaim fellowship with Jesus until you are honest enough to acknowledge that you have lost it." "You will need to take as many steps back to fellowship as you took walking away." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Luke 2:41-52 (Jesus in the Temple at age 12) - Supporting Texts: Judges 16:20 (Samson), Psalm 51:10-11 (David's repentance) - Key Theme: The difference between relationship and fellowship with Christ - Context: Jewish Passover customs and coming-of-age traditions ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Questioning Your Fellowship: - Ask yourself: "Has there ever been a time when I was consistently closer to Jesus than I am right now?" - Examine your heart honestly, not just your church attendance - Don't assume religious activity equals intimate fellowship If You've Recognized Lost Fellowship: - Acknowledge it honestly without making excuses or blaming others - Begin seeking Jesus diligently and persistently - it may take time - Return to the specific place or situation where you left Him If You're in Church Leadership: - Remember that being close to Jesus doesn't make you immune to losing fellowship - Don't let busyness in ministry substitute for personal intimacy with Christ - Be watchful for the gradual drift that can happen to anyone If You're Struggling with Sin: - Recognize that small steps away from Jesus become giant leaps - Don't deceive yourself that Jesus is okay with compromise - Remember that sin has an exponential, infectious nature If You're Helping Others: - Look for those who may have lost fellowship while maintaining appearances - Encourage persistence in seeking restoration - it's not always immediate - Point people back to where they left Jesus, not just to religious activity ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION God the Father is waiting for you to return to Him. When you do, He won't condemn, criticize, or punish you. He's going to welcome you with open arms, embrace you with His grace, enfold you with His love, and shower you with His mercy. You can be saved and going to heaven, but your fellowship and intimacy with Jesus can be spoiled. Will you admit it and start seeking the Lord persistently and diligently? Are you willing to return to where you left Him? ---------- Remember: Fellowship with Jesus requires the same diligence as any relationship - it must be maintained through consistent communion, honest acknowledgment of problems, and persistent effort to restore what's been lost.

A question: Do you see yourself as the only competent one in your world? Are you able to hand things off to team members?It can be a hard mindset to release because it can feel so risky.Taking ownership is a good thing, but check yourself. Is there some arrogance there?Eddie says that “Gram” used to say, “If you want to know what kind of difference you're going to leave when you're gone, stick your finger in a cup of water and pull it out.” That feels pretty cold (the statement, not the water), but it's also true–at least in the long run.Acknowledge that others can help you, and you'll be better off if you do.If this is a struggle for you, print off the poem Eddie read today and post it in your workspace.

Send us a textI've put together a complete upsell page template for you, including AI prompts for writing each section. You can grab it free at datadrivenmarketing.co.uk/upsellI've got to share this story with you because it's honestly one of the craziest results we've ever achieved. My team and I helped someone make $200,000 in 12 months using a single funnel hack - and here's the thing: I've never met her, never talked to her, never even exchanged an email with her. Nobody on my team has either.In this episode, I sit down with Boris Mez, one of our funnel experts at Data Driven Marketing, to break down exactly how this works. Boris has 8 years in sales and marketing and has scaled multiple seven and eight-figure course businesses. The guy knows his stuff.Here's what we cover:Why most course creators will never scale (and it's not what you think)The brutal difference between a 7% and 20% converting upsellHow to structure the perfect upsell page with our 13-element frameworkWhy "slap it and pray" upsells are killing your revenueThe exact offer types that actually convert (most people get this completely wrong)Boris walks through a recent client case where we took their upsell conversion rate from 7.8% to 20.1% - that's nearly a 3X improvement. He reveals our four-step system: Acknowledge, Reassure, Redirect, Offer, and explains why 80% of your results come from getting the offer right.Look, if you're selling courses - whether it's a $27 ebook or a $2,000 program - you need upsells. It's probably the only way you're going to scale. Every single business needs this.

This podcast will always be free and without adverts, made possible by the kind support of listeners. Thank you for being here.A Note from Steven: If you find this meditation on forgiveness helpful, you may also wish to listen to the discussion on the same topic on my other podcast, Stillness in the Storms. You can find that episode here: [Insert Link to Stillness in the Storms episode]About This MeditationThis guided meditation is an invitation to find freedom by forgiving. Forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened or forgetting the pain; it's about choosing to release the heavy weight of resentment for your own well being. It's a gift you give to yourself. Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to be harmed; this practice is the antidote, allowing you to reclaim your own peace and move forward.In this session, we will gently acknowledge past hurts and use the power of affirmation to cultivate an open and peaceful heart. You will be guided to see that you can be whole again, even after being hurt.Who Is This Forgiveness Meditation For?This meditation is designed to help if you are struggling with the pain of past events and want to find a way to move forward. It can be particularly helpful if you are looking to:Find peace after being cheated on or betrayed in a relationship.Let go of the anger and hurt caused by a friend or family member.Heal from difficult experiences at work or from childhood.Release resentment you hold towards a person, an organisation, or a situation that caused you pain.Stop feeling stuck in a loop of thinking about what happened.Learn how to forgive someone for your own peace, even if you never speak to them again.Find a sense of freedom from the past so you can live more fully in the present.Key Concepts in This MeditationForgiveness for You: The central theme is that this act is for your freedom, not because the other person deserves it.Mushin (No-Mind): We touch on the Zen concept of a mind free from attachment and lingering resentment, allowing experiences to arise and pass freely.Acknowledge, Don't Re-live: You will be guided to acknowledge the event and the feelings it stirs without getting lost in the story.Affirmations for Healing: The practice uses gentle, inward affirmations such as, "I forgive you. Not for you, but for me," and, "May I live with an open and peaceful heart".Support the PodcastThese meditations are offered for free, without ads, to help as many people as possible.

If you've been coaching for any length of time, you've probably experienced this. A client introduces you as their financial therapist or thanks you for their financial therapy session. It might seem like a compliment, but there's something important we need to address.Money is deeply emotional. When we help clients work through their financial challenges, we're often helping them process feelings like shame, fear, anxiety, and guilt. This emotional component can make our work feel therapeutic, even though we're not providing therapy.But there's an important distinction between what we do as financial coaches and what therapists do. Understanding that difference actually makes us better at our job and helps us serve our clients more effectively.Some coaches feel uncomfortable when clients call them therapists because they worry about overstepping professional boundaries. Others feel flattered and take it as a sign they're providing meaningful support. Both responses make sense, but these moments are actually opportunities.When someone calls you their financial therapist, it's a chance to help them understand what coaching really is and set clear expectations about how you work together. And it's important to be crystal clear about your role and be confident in what you do (and don't do).This isn't about diminishing the support we offer or making our work seem less meaningful. Financial coaching absolutely changes lives. It's about being intentional with our professional boundaries in a way that actually serves our clients better.The coaches who thrive understand when their clients might need something they can't provide, and they see making referrals as professional integrity, not failure. They've learned how to acknowledge the emotional aspects of money while staying firmly within their coaching role.Being clear about the distinction between coaching and counseling doesn't take away from what we do. It actually helps us do it better.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Coaching focuses on the present and future while counseling explores the past. This timeline difference shapes everything about how you work with clients.You don't tell clients what to do, you help them discover what they want to do. Financial coaches act as sounding boards, not financial advisors making recommendations.The basic presumption of coaching is that clients are mentally and emotionally ready to receive guidance. They're in a good place to make changes toward their goals.Money is deeply emotional, which makes coaching feel therapeutic even though it's not therapy. Acknowledge the emotions without stepping into a therapeutic role.Making a referral isn't a failure, it's professional integrity. Recognizing when clients need mental health support shows genuine care for their wellbeing.Use it as a teaching moment when clients call you their therapist. Say, “I appreciate that our work feels supportive, though as a coach, my focus is helping you build financial skills.”Include the coaching vs therapy distinction in your onboarding materials. Set appropriate expectations from the start with clear explanations in your welcome packet.
If you've been moving through your days on autopilot and suddenly realize you don't quite feel like you anymore, this episode will gently guide you back to center with real, honest steps that worked for me when I needed them most. If you've ever hit a point where you feel totally disconnected from yourself, you are not alone. I recently found myself there after a super fun but unexpectedly exhausting trip, and I had to intentionally work my way back to feeling like “me.” In this episode, I share five things that helped me recalibrate and start moving forward again. I hope these ideas support you, too, when you feel off track. Action Plan: 1 - Stop and listen: Pay attention to the signals your body and mind are sending before they escalate. 2 - Remove what's misaligned: Say no to the things that feel heavy, even if they're small. 3 - Really, truly rest: Let go of the urge to push and give yourself time to recover. 4 - Offer yourself grace: Reframe negative self-talk with truths and compassion. 5 - Own your energy: Acknowledge your role in your overwhelm so you can choose differently going forward.

Send us a textLiving Out Faith Through Recovery and Avoiding Common PitfallsStep 12 in recovery programs calls us to share the message of recovery with others and practice these principles in every part of our lives. This step is rooted in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands us to spread His teachings and baptize others, assuring us of His constant presence. This scripture highlights the importance of our actions in demonstrating genuine care and commitment to helping others overcome addiction.Instead of boasting about our recovery, we should use our experiences to encourage newcomers and share God's grace and goodness. True recovery involves walking alongside those in need, offering support, and embodying the principles we've learned, ensuring our actions match our words. Programs like the Lifestyle Champion Cohort help us continue this mission, significantly impacting others' lives and finding fulfillment in serving our community. This approach highlights the importance of demonstrating genuine care and encouragement rather than boasting as we share God's grace with those seeking recovery. In this podcast, we explore the five common mistakes people make when pursuing recovery and how to avoid them:Failure to Acknowledge a Problem: Only you can recognize and decide to confront your addiction. Avoid letting others overshadow your realization of the issue.Not Following Your Decision with Action: Don't let the initial decision to recover fade away. Act on your commitment and seek support actively.Allowing Denial to Hold You Back: Educate yourself and seek motivation from those who've succeeded in recovery. Take responsibility and avoid blaming others.Failing to Prepare to Live a Clean & Sober Lifestyle: Celebrate your progress but be cautious. Establish new habits and boundaries to prevent relapse.Becoming Lackadaisical: Continue working on your recovery and remain vigilant. Complacency can jeopardize your progress; stay committed to your journey.By avoiding these mistakes and embracing Step 12, you align your recovery with your faith, contributing to a fulfilling and transformative journey.Order the book here: https://godtookmetolasvegas.com The 21-question assessment is here: https://randymortensen.com Our podcast is here: https://godtookmetolasvegas.buzzsprout.com And our office number is: 321.757.HOPEacourageousrecovery.com

Asking the question What Now, is a great question. It comes down to look at things at a higher perspective. Tony talks about looking higher which sure beats the mind being at the energy of worry or feeling down. The question of What Now is a higher vibration question.

We'll talk about how to shift direction when the plan hits a wall—or when we hit a wall.Episode Recap:Recognizing the Need to Pivot Sometimes the hardest part isn't making the pivot—it's realizing that you need to. Staying too long in a comfort zone can cost you opportunities.Questions:Have you ever ignored a sign that it was time to pivot?What are some internal cues that let you know a shift is needed From Setback to Setup – Using Detours as DataLet's normalize setbacks.

Pivots often start with a problem.Questions:Share a time when a setback forced you to take a different path—what happened?What tools do you use to reflect and learn from challenges?Micro-Pivots – Small Shifts That Spark Big Results Not all pivots need to be dramatic. Sometimes it's a tweak in strategy or mindset that unlocks new results.Questions:Have you made a small pivot that ended up having a big impact?How do you evaluate whether a micro-pivot is working?Strategic Realignment – When Your Vision EvolvesQuestions:How has your personal or professional vision changed in the last year?What's something you had to walk away from to align with where you are now?We've provided some tips to help you while navigating a pivot.Guest: Patty Williams-Brown (CEO/Founder, BreakingBounds Executive Coaching and Consulting firm.

1. Don't Take It Personally (Even If It Feels Personal) Stay calm and resist the urge to get defensive. Take a moment to assess the situation before responding. 2. Respond Promptly—but Not Hastily Acknowledge the complaint publicly within 24 hours if possible. This shows others that you're attentive and professional. Example response: "Hi [Name], we're sorry to hear this. We'd love to make it right—please message us directly so we can help resolve the issue." 3. Take It Offline When You Can Invite the person to discuss the issue in private (DM, email, phone). This avoids a public back-and-forth and gives you more control. 4. Apologize if Appropriate—But Stay Professional Even if the customer is being unreasonable, show empathy. Acknowledge their frustration without admitting fault if the complaint isn't valid. "We understand how frustrating that must have felt. Let's look into this and see how we can help." 5. Know When to Walk Away If someone is trolling or repeatedly acting in bad faith, it's okay to disengage after making a good-faith effort to help. Other customers can often tell who's being unreasonable. 6. Learn From Legitimate Feedback Even harsh feedback can reveal real issues. Look for patterns over time—product problems, miscommunication, or service gaps. 7. Follow Up Publicly If Resolved Once an issue is resolved, consider a polite follow-up comment: "Thanks for working with us to sort this out! We're glad we could help." This shows others you take accountability seriously. 8. Encourage Positive Reviews Ask happy customers to leave reviews. A few loud complaints matter less when they're drowned out by authentic, positive feedback.

David Leis sits down with Ludwik Klimkowski to reveal the powerful story behind Canada's new memorial to the victims of communism. Why was it so controversial? What does it stand for? And why do some Canadians still downplay the horrors of communist regimes? They unpack personal stories of survival, the hidden costs of “the greater good,” and why remembering these tragedies is more urgent than ever. If you think communism is just a history lesson—this episode will change your mind.

Are you afraid of your anger?Anger is the misunderstood arsonist teenager who roams inside each of us wreaking havoc and setting fires. This inner rebel is simultaneously the protector, the vigilante, the protestor, and Ultimate Fighting Champion. It's hot, impulsive, and feels so dangerous.When anger is around, so is judgment. Of others, and especially ourselves. We think anger isn't spiritual. It's low vibe and means we haven't gotten very far on our journey. We're supposed to be better than this...OK, but we're not doing it like that, Family.If anything, our rage is a sacred and holy messenger. An ally. A burly partner with a lot of metaphorical weapons. It is righteous and beautiful and necessary and NORMAL.4 Easy Steps to Engage with Anger (And turn it into your teacher and ally):Acknowledge it. Let it be valid. Anger is not bad, it's just big energy.Feel it somatically. Pause. Breathe. Move with it. Allow it to be there and to be kinetic inside you. Doing this lets your nervous system know that anger is safe to feel.Let it teach you. Ask, “What are you protecting me from? What truth is trying to emerge? What boundaries do I need to enact here?”Channel it consciously. Anger doesn't need to be released AT people or things. It can instead be channeled into boundaries, healing conversations, activism, and as fuel for creative projects and transformation.Anger is the messenger letting you know that SOMETHING IS RISING TO BE HEALED. Plant medicine can be the bridge to accessing repressed anger and learning to relate with it in an empowered way. Where it is your teacher instead of your enemy.
You are not reading the post I had prepared for today.The hot vomit of my pain Attacking the confusion this old gay man feels in the Rainbow tribe of 2025.Written in blind fury.Staggeringly numb. On edge, teetering on the precipice of oblivionUnaware of its grip on my heart.This heart, clenched. These guts, a slithering knot. My presence in this moment; Impossible.The venomous edge stalks like a desperate lover. Full of blame, attack, defiance, rage…He's a gaslighting lover.Insisting my existence is at risk while this body swallows freshly cooked organic food in my cozy condo…He pretends not to be here. Invisibility clever, Void of reflection, Death without renewal.Insisting I am separate from the tribe, From the tribe of humans…Better than, smarter than, Wiser, kinder, gentler…A poisonous muse.Words flew with vigor from my fingertipsCharged with venomRipping open the fear in my soul Spilling blame on those closest to me…For who else can withhold the sustenance I need?I'm on edge.But with eyes open, With heart open,I reluctantly acknowledge This reality is not mine alone.We are ALL on edge.Who in this moment has not been abandoned by their people? Rainbow lovers eating their own, A country no longer protected by law, Workers unable to breath free, Elders forgotten and discarded, Children entering a planet on fire.Today, I will not add more faggots to fuel of the pyre of fear and serperatrion,With embarrassed reluctance, I reach out. Acknowledge the shared pain.I bow to my ancestors, Placed in front of me through the prayers of chosen family.Thank you, father.Thank you, Bill Gerle. “If it's not about love and kindness, it's not a conversation worth having.”I just want to cry. The tears have been many,So many, Each one a blessing. Allowing me to fall apart in the fertile strength of known wisdom.Only love. Only love.

Our greatest aspiration is to be like them.” “The purpose of mortal like and the mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to prepare the sons and daughters of God for their eternal destiny- to become like our Heavenly Parents.” 13:35 Divine Identity and Divine Destiny… as children of God 15:45 Mother in Heaven: foundational doctrine 16:35 When speaking to single adults after the foundation has been laid, what do you say next? …Well someday?!? NO! Acknowledge their pain and the issues they face. 17:45 Neil L. Anderson quote: “We will continue to teach the Lord's pattern for families, but now with millions of members and the diversity among those in the church we need to be more thoughtful and sensitive. Our church culture and vernacular are sometimes quite unique. The Primary children are not going to stop singing 'Families can be Together Forever' but when they sing 'I'm so happy when Daddy comes home' or 'With father and mother leading the way…', not all children will be singing about their family.” 20:50 What do we need to know now, to feel joy now? Four overarching principles: No one denied any promised blessing because of something outside of their control YOU are included in the plan of salvation, and because of that inclusion there is hope. Heavenly Father will not abrogate agency. God loves us with a perfect love and will do anything in his power to exalt us. Through the grace of Christ, Heavenly Father can provide solutions to those things outside our control (24:51) 26:04 Quote President Kimball: “We promise you that in as far as eternity is concerned, NO soul will be deprived of rich and high and eternal blessings for anything which they could not help. That the Lord never fails in his promises. Every righteous person will eventually receive ALL to which they are entitled and have not forfeited through any fault of their own.” 28:15 Stay covenant-connected. 28:30 Quote President Nelson: Through no failing of their own “they” deal with the trails of life alone. May we all be reminded that in the Lord's own way and time no blessing will be withheld from his faithful saints. The Lords will judge and reward each individual according to their heartfelt desires as well as deeds.”

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on this classic episode when Case sat down with Geoff Moonen and chatted about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! Overview Episode dedicated to Kevin Smith's influence following his recent heart attack, underscoring the importance of his work in nerd culture. View Askewniverse detailed as an interconnected film universe that began with Mallrats and culminated in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Jason Mewes faced significant personal challenges during filming, impacting production due to substance abuse issues. Film characterized as having a weak overall plot with awkward transitions, relying on 'and then' storytelling. Subplot regarding animal rights deemed problematic and outdated, particularly in post-9/11 context. Noted lack of diversity in casting and representation, with a predominantly white male ensemble. Humor criticized for not aging well, featuring outdated jokes and problematic themes reminiscent of early 2000s comedy. Suggested structural improvements include framing devices and varying visual styles to enrich storytelling. Interview with Sam introduced new perspectives while affirming original hosts' critiques of structural flaws in the film. Overall legacy reflects a blend of quotability and cultural relevance, highlighting Kevin Smith's early comedy style compared to current film pacing.

Episode prompted by Kevin Smith's recent heart attack, wanting to honor his work and influence on nerd culture. 49-minute brisk episode with good audio quality featuring Case Aiken and Jeff Moonan discussing Kevin Smith's filmography. Discussion positioned as 'most meta episodes' - an episode about an episode about a movie that references many other movies. Kevin Smith Universe Analysis (08:40 - 19:26) View Askewniverse explained as interconnected reality starting accidentally with Mallrats, tying together story elements from previous films. Movie served as intended conclusion to the View Askewniverse with Jay and Silent Bob as main characters after being minor characters in Clerks. Jason Mewes struggled with substance issues during filming, drinking heavily while trying to get off drugs, making production difficult. Film positioned as 'greatest disc two of some other movie ever made' - ultimate bonus feature content rather than standalone film. Film Structure & Content Issues (21:58 - 48:37) Movie suffers from awkward transitions and 'and then' storytelling rather than consequential plot progression. Light plot structure with random elements, particularly weak animal rights terrorist subplot that feels dated post-9/11. Racial and gender representation problems - almost exclusively white cast with limited female characters in meaningful roles. Film's humor hasn't aged well with numerous gay jokes, misogynistic elements, and dated comedy style reminiscent of Austin Powers era. Proposed Improvements (24:51 - 42:01) Restructure with framing device - open with Jay and Silent Bob at diner with Suzanne the orangutan, telling story in flashback. Jay as unreliable narrator would allow for cutting awkward transitions and explaining absurd elements as his perspective. Blues Brothers structure suggested - characters piss off everyone along the way, leading to massive chase sequence at climax. Different visual styles for Jay's version vs. Bob's version vs. reality to distinguish narrative perspectives. Kevin Smith's Evolution as Filmmaker (12:18 - 42:01) Smith writes about his current life experiences - Clerks while working retail, Mallrats about studio experience, Chasing Amy about creative ownership. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back represents Smith dealing with internet trolls and fan expectations in nascent online era. Zack and Miri Make a Porno mentioned as better examination of filmmaking process, with Jason Mewes delivering strong performance. Smith's limitation as visual director acknowledged - focuses on dialogue and character interactions over cinematography. Cultural Context & Legacy (07:17 - 17:45) Film represents early 2000s comedy style with extended gags and slower pacing compared to modern rapid-fire editing. Miramax studio system comparison made to classic Hollywood, allowing for cross-pollination of actors and characters. Movie's quotability exceeds its actual quality as a complete film experience. Clerks cartoon praised as superior Kevin Smith work with only six episodes but high quality content. ️ Sam's Perspective (New Co-host) (58:03 - 01:02:25) Sam agrees with original hosts' assessment - movie is quotable and fun but structurally flawed. Acknowledges problematic elements while noting they're not mean-spirited but reflect era's comedy standards. Harold and Kumar comparison resonates - better execution of similar stoner road trip concept. Kevin Smith's wife's involvement in diamond thief subplot makes misogynistic elements slightly less problematic but still problematic.

In this episode, I talk about the idea that we can hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time - and how that can actually be where our real growth and success as entrepreneurs live. I'm so glad you're here for another mindset-focused episode of Eat Blog Talk. Today, I'm diving into a topic that's been heavy on my heart lately—duality in entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurs, we often think we have to fix our flaws before we can feel successful, but what if it's actually about holding space for both our strengths and imperfections? I'm sharing a story from the Flavor Media Summit that beautifully illustrates how powerful it can be to embrace the “both/and” in ourselves. Action Plan: 1 - Acknowledge duality in your journey: Notice when you're feeling two things at once and give both feelings permission to exist. 2 - Resist the urge to fix yourself first: You don't need to wait until you're fearless or confident to move forward—just start. 3 - Stay present in your imperfections: True success comes from showing up, even when things feel messy or imperfect. 4 - Honor your contradictions: You can be both proud and nervous, grateful and overwhelmed—this is normal and powerful. 5 - Practice naming the dualities: Say them out loud or journal them—“I am both X and Y”—to build resilience and self-compassion.
