Ten years into flower farming, Lyndsay still has moments when she wants to throw in the towel—and Shannon admits a new greenhouse has her feeling unconfident, too. In this candid conversation, they get specific about what confidence looks like in business: hiring before you feel ready, facing the numbers you've been avoiding, and taking small steps that build trust in yourself. Lyndsay shares how struggling to learn a turkey call exposed a bigger pattern of expecting herself to master new skills instantly. Along the way, they explain why farming keeps even experienced growers feeling like beginners—and how DirtCon grew from their own willingness to take an uncomfortable first step.Early bird tickets available at DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to this episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027If you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

3, 2, 1… it's showwwtime! Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show Podcast and a very, very big happy birthday to our very own Captain Crapbeard!This week, Blur's Dave Rowntree joined us, giving us backstage access to how he met Damon Albarn and how one of Britain's biggest bands first came together.

In this seventh and final episode of the Talent Risk Assessor series on Defensible Decisions, shareholders Scott Kelly (Birmingham/Washington, D.C.) and Lauren Hicks (Indianapolis/Atlanta) are joined by Pete Bell and Chrissy Blantz of the firm's data analytics team to bring together the six workforce dimensions covered across the series—(1) selections and hiring, (2) dispositions, (3) separations, (4) talent progression, (5) performance, and (6) compensation—into a single, repeatable seven step framework. The speakers walk through each step in sequence, protecting privilege, validating the data, identifying the right comparison group, drilling down to investigate a flag, documenting a legitimate explanation, evaluating whether change is warranted, and monitoring over time, while emphasizing that these dimensions are interconnected windows into the same workforce rather than isolated analyses. The episode closes with a broader point that the Talent Risk Assessor's value depends on integrating statistical rigor with legal judgment under privilege, and that this framework is designed to remain stable even as the regulatory landscape and underlying data continue to evolve.

“How you end something often can be as important, if not more important, than how you start.”What's the best way to wrap up a presentation? How do you stop yourself from repeating the same point? And what can you do when strong emotions start taking over? Matt Abrahams tackles these questions and more in this Ask Matt Anything episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, recorded with members of the Learning Community. He shares why a strong ending deserves as much attention as a strong opening, along with practical advice for holding attention, getting better at small talk, breaking repetitive speaking patterns, and channeling emotion more effectively.Takeaways:A strong ending reinforces what matters most. Return to your goal by reminding your audience what you want them to know, how you want them to feel, and what you want them to do next.Engagement requires giving your audience something to do. Questions, physical participation, vivid language, and shared experiences can help capture attention and keep people involved in your message.Activity:Land the plane. Take the ending of an upcoming presentation or meeting and write one sentence for each part of your goal: what you want people to know, feel, and do. Use those three points to build a concise closing.Episode Reference Links:Think Fast Talk Smart Learning Community 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 (00:44) - Why Endings Matter (02:16) - Ending With Your Goal (03:38) - Bringing It Full Circle (04:19) - Ending With a Call to Action (06:22) - Breaking Repetitive Speaking Patterns (08:50) - Keeping Your Audience Engaged (12:08) - Building Confidence in Small Talk (15:18) - Communicating Strong Emotions (18:01) - 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.Strawberry.me.

You've built your career across platforms, agencies, publishers, and now retail media. Looking back, what were the pivotal moments that shaped the way you think about data, measurement, and commercialization today?Albertsons Media Collective's iROAS research found that campaign outcomes could vary depending solely on methodology, with the campaigns shifting from positive to negative based on how performance was measured. What did those findings reveal about the current state of retail media measurement, and why do you think the industry has struggled for so long to align on what “impact” really means?Incrementality has been discussed in retail media for years, but it feels like the conversation is finally shifting from theory into operational practice. What has to change organizationally, technologically, and culturally for retailers and brands to truly measure demand creation instead of just demand capture?The Martinelli's campaign is a fascinating real-world example — a 33% sales lift, 65% new-to-brand buyers, and $7.45 in incremental ROAS. Can you walk us through what made that campaign successful and what it taught your team about identifying media that is genuinely driving new customer behavior?When you look ahead at the future of retail media, data collaboration, and measurement innovation, what are you personally most excited about — and where do you think the biggest breakthroughs are still ahead?

What happens when everything you know professionally about grief suddenly becomes personal?Dr. Patricia Timerman had worked in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention. She had studied suicide grief and facilitated groups for people who had lost someone to suicide.Then her dear friend Scott died by suicide.Suddenly, Patricia wasn't simply the clinician facilitating the conversation. She was grieving too. Despite everything she knew professionally, she found herself minimizing her own loss because Scott wasn't her spouse, child or parent. It was the members of her own grief group who reminded her that the relationship label didn't determine whether her grief mattered.On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Dr. Patricia Timerman, psychotherapist, author and founder of Advocate2Create, for an honest conversation about suicide loss, grief, guilt, identity and what happens when professional expertise meets lived experience.We also explore something that doesn't get talked about enough: What happens after the first year of grief?Patricia shares how the first year after a loss can feel surreal, while the second year may bring the painful realization that you're living in a reality you never chose. We also talk about the complicated experience of finding yourself laughing again while another part of you wonders how laughter is even possible.Our conversation then turns to relationships.Using her IAP model, Intention, Action and Perception, Patricia explains why two people can love and grieve the same person while experiencing one another completely differently. One person may believe they're “holding it together” to protect someone they love, while the other person experiences that strength as emotional absence.We also discuss the guilt and unanswered questions that can accompany suicide loss, why survivors may replay the days leading up to a death searching for answers, and how that search can sometimes turn into blame or self-blame.Finally, I ask Patricia what finding her groove means after grief, immigration, losing her voice, professional reinvention and everything life has asked her to navigate.This conversation is about more than surviving grief. It's about learning how to communicate through it, making room for different expressions of loss, and allowing grief to become part of our story without allowing it to become the entirety of who we are.Connect with Dr. Patricia Timerman: https://www.advocate2create.com/

Boston asked residents what they needed before spending a dollar of its opioid settlement money. Christian Arthur, senior policy and strategy specialist at the Boston Public Health Commission's Recovery Services Bureau, illustrates in this episode how the city started with a community assessment and turned that feedback into real programs—a first-in-the-nation fund for families who've lost loved ones to overdose, public health vending machines that dispense naloxone, and grants to the organizations already doing the work. It's a candid conversation about community engagement, spending with intention, and what other cities can learn from it. Christian Arthur is a senior policy and strategy specialist at Boston Public Health Commission's Recovery Services Bureau. He has served the commission for the last seven years and has focused his career on building and launching harm reduction solutions that save lives and advance public health innovation.   More Links and Information   Check out more Fors Marsh Media Connect or partner with Fors Marsh  Learn how Boston is using its opioid settlement funding  Explore Boston's Overdose Data to Action

Property investors should prioritize seizing growth opportunities and actively avoid the opportunity costs of letting their capital remain idle. Current market conditions feature high mortgage rates and challenging housing affordability, yet human nature dictates that fear of loss remains a powerful motivator for market participation. Due to these economic hurdles, tenant retention has surged significantly as renters remain in place longer rather than attempting to purchase homes. Consequently, real estate investors can capitalize on compressed builder margins and various market incentives by consulting with professionals to optimize their portfolios. America is currently facing a severe housing affordability and shortage crisis, largely driven by restrictive government regulations and outdated zoning laws established during the progressive era. David Rand, the founding president and CEO of the Land Liberty Movement, explains that these pervasive barriers—including minimum lot sizes, excessive setback requirements, and mandatory double staircases—severely limit property rights and inflate construction costs. To combat these challenges, organizations like his advocate for state-level policy reforms that dismantle central planning and return decision-making power directly to property owners and developers. By easing these burdensome restrictions and embracing natural market prices, communities can foster innovative housing solutions like high-quality manufactured homes and mixed-use walkable neighborhoods. Ultimately, building a broad ideological consensus and reempowering individuals are essential steps to successfully restoring housing accessibility and the American dream for future generations. #EmpoweredInvestor #RealEstateInvesting #ROI #IncomeProperty #OpportunityCost #HousingMarket #MortgageRates #TenantRetention #BuildToRent #KBHomes #PropertyManagement #LandLiberty #JasonHartman #RealEstateOpportunities https://propertytracker.com/  https://empoweredinvestormarketplace.com/app/search https://empoweredinvestor.com/wednesday  https://empoweredinvestorpro.com  Contact our Investment Counselors today!   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 0:00 Say YES, man 3:32 Opportunity costs 6:27  Multi-dimensional feature and renters 11:39 KB Homes David Rand Interview 14:19 Introducing David 16:59 property rights and manufactured housing 22:26 A very complex problem 24:06 Building mix-use communiites 28:08 Action plan    _______________________________________________________________   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

At 500 knots each, two F-16s point straight at each other with less than a second to react, one of them upside down. That's the moment Michelle "Mace" Curran walks Dwayne through in Part 2 of this conversation, and it's just the entry point into a masterclass on what she calls "the space between": the pause between feeling fear and deciding what to do with it.In this episode:The near head-on collision during a Thunderbirds training pass, closing at roughly 1,000 mph, missing by what she believes was inches and the split-second decision-making that got both pilots through itWhy Michelle earned her call sign "Mace" (Mach at Circle Entry) by accidentally breaking the sound barrier on her second flight in Japan, and how she turned it into a badge of honorThe physical disruptor, wiggling her toes, that a flight instructor taught her to break out of over-control and hypervigilance, and the neuroscience behind why it worksWhy the Thunderbirds' hiring process (40 applicants, 3 spots, a 12-officer interview panel) weighs personality, composure, and preparation over raw technical skillHer "bubble" routine in her third year with the Thunderbirds, strict self-care boundaries that helped her show up better in a public-facing roleWhy she sees fear as a signal, not a stop sign, and how that reframe applies as much to a hard business call as it does to flying a fighter jetTime Stamps:00:00 Competence Over Noise00:33 Welcome Michelle “Mace” Curran01:32 Imposter Syndrome Pivot02:53 Bravery And Fear Reframed07:20 The Space Between12:03 Near Miss Decision Making14:54 Physical Disruptors Tool21:56 Fear Signals In The Body23:29 High Performance Discipline29:01 Hiring For Team Traits33:39 Thunderbirds Selection Process36:20 Prep Under Pressure37:13 Working Interview Signals38:32 Downtime Reveals Drive39:31 Bias and Perception Checks41:15 Women in Fighter Aviation47:13 Media Noise and Unity50:58 Leading for Bigger Impact54:56 Self Care for Performance59:06 Where to Find Michelle01:00:09 Call Sign and Failure Lessons01:04:19 Final ThanksMichelle "Mace" Curran is a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who flew as a Thunderbirds lead solo and trained the incoming opposing solo pilot during her tenure on the team.

She is now a keynote speaker and author of the children's book Upside Down Dreams and its sequel centered on fighter pilot call signs, and has written a book exploring fear and decision-making under pressure.

Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, answers the question, “What's the Plan -- for the next No Kings Nationwide Day of Action?” This one shifts from mass protest in the streets to organizing for early voting – and preparing for whatever Trump does to disrupt or undermine the vote, the count, and the certification.Also: The Supreme Court last Friday issued an order allowing states to use Trump's SAVE database to purge their voter rolls of people the DHS considers ineligible – but it's too late to apply to the midterms. Rick Hasen explains – he teaches law at UCLA and he's Director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project and editor of the Election Law Blog.  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this edition of Double Play, we discuss the heroes aboard a plane in the Middle East who stepped up during a terrifying hijacking situation. We talk about the courage it took to act when lives were at risk and the decisions that helped protect the people on board. We also reflect on the passengers and crew members who found ways to respond under extreme pressure. It's a powerful conversation about bravery, quick thinking, and ordinary people finding the courage to do extraordinary things.

Are you a control freak? You might think controlling everything is working for you but it's not creating anything. When you are with horses, controlling doesn't really work. You have to be present, you have to trust, and you have to receive. What if you applied those principles to your life? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Alison Cox about what they've learned from riding horses.  Throughout history, horses have always contributed to us. Be with horses. Let them contribute to you. Questions And Tools: "What else is possible?" "What do I need to change here?" "Is this actually working?" "What question can I be? What can I change?" "What can I gain from this?" Tools: Trust you and trust your horse. Ask a question eg "What is going on here?" Trust that you are going to know something in every moment. Flip controlling into receiving. You think controlling everything is working for you but it's not creating anything. Acknowledge where things aren't working, with interesting point of view, and acknowledge what you need to change. Stop looking for the problem. Every single word that you think or speak creates your life. Acknowledge your worth - what has the universe learnt from you? You have to receive. You are continuously learning. Allow the chaos to be. play and find out. fear isn't real. What if you could choose something today that you thought you could never choose? What if you know more than you think and you're actually capable of more if you just give it a try? Let the universe show you what you know. let your body show you what you know.  Trust your body, trust the universe, trust your horse. Be with horses. Let them contribute to you. What would you like to ask for? The universe will always meet you where you are at. It will never give you something you can't handle.   Everywhere in your life that you've asked for something, it's shown up, and you've refused it because it didn't show up the way you thought it should, or the way you thought you could control it, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. How much do you create an allergy so you can have an excuse not to choose something? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. How many lifetimes have you been riding and you've been killed on a horse or thrown off or something has occurred so that in this lifetime you go, "Oh no, I don't want to touch one again!" What if they're all lies? Will you destroy and uncreate all the lies? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds.   As Mentioned In This Episode: Conscious Horse Conscious Rider: https://www.accessconsciousness.com/en/micrositesfolder/chcr  Conscious Horse Conscious Rider class with Alison Cox & Cody Lore: https://www.myacousticlife.com/chcrcellugar    Useful Links: The Clearing Statement explained Access Consciousness Website Choice, Change & Action Podcast Instagram Follow Simone Milasas Simone's Website Simone's Instagram Simone's Facebook Simone's YouTube Simone's Telegram Simone's Contact Email  Follow Alison Cox Alison's Website Alison's Instagram Alison's Facebook Play with Simone Milasas The Profit Club membership Getting Out of Debt Joyfully Taking Action online video course All Upcoming Classes with Simone Past Class Recordings

This week on Rising Up for Justice, Saqib Bhatti joins us. He is the co-Founder and executive director of ACRE, the Action Center on Race & the Economy and the Bargaining for the Common Good Network.

Jayla Siciliano explains how founders can turn perceived red flags into clear, confidence-building narratives for investors. The episode focuses on a common fundraising mistake: overexplaining a situation that the founder is already anxious about, which can make a neutral fact sound like a major problem.In this solo episode, Jayla walks through a real founder example involving a remote co-founder setup across the US and abroad, then shows how to present the same facts as a logical division of responsibilities instead of a liability. Key topics In this episode: red flags are often less about the facts and more about how the founder frames them. Jayla explains that if a founder is especially nervous about one investor question, that usually points to their own fear, not necessarily the investor's concern. She warns against overexplaining, rambling, and going down a rabbit hole, since that is often what turns a manageable issue into a real red flag. The main example is a consumer product company with two co-founders, one living abroad and one in the US, which the founders feared would look disorganized or uncommitted. Jayla breaks down why the setup is not inherently a problem if the roles are clear and do not depend on both people being in the same place. The US-based co-founder handled sales and physical distribution, while the abroad-based co-founder handled back-end logistics, marketing, corporate governance, and fundraising. She uses a simple test: if the company suddenly had enough money for both founders to go full-time, would the roles still make sense independently? Jayla emphasizes that the goal is to remove emotion from the explanation and present the situation in a matter-of-fact, logical way. She notes that some investors may still care about a specific issue, but that does not mean the issue is fatal or that every investor will react the same way. The bigger lesson is to stop letting a perceived red flag undermine your confidence before the conversation even happens.

Ask whether it is actually a business problem or mainly a confidence problem. Reframe the issue in simple, factual language without overexplaining. Clarify each founder's role and make sure the responsibilities make sense independent of location. Practice saying the explanation out loud until it sounds calm and logical.   Have questions specific to your situation?

If your business is making decent revenue but you still feel like there's never enough money in the bank, you need to understand what's actually happening to your cash. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm kicking off a new financial series designed to make intimidating money terms actually useful for service-based entrepreneurs and solopreneurs. We're breaking down cash flow, cash management, and profit strategy in normal-people language so you can understand how they affect your business growth, owner pay, investments, and profitability. After 9 years of experience running my consulting business, I've become increasingly focused on the intersection between financial strategy and business strategy because you cannot separate the two. You can have an incredible pricing strategy, lead generation system, and sales process, but if you don't understand when cash enters your business, where it goes, and how much you actually keep, you can still struggle financially. These aren't terms only your bookkeeper needs to understand. As CEO, you need to understand them too.What You'll Learn:What cash flow actually means and why revenue doesn't equal cash in the bankHow the timing of money coming in and going out can create cash flow problemsWhat cash management means and how to give every dollar entering your business a jobHow cash reserves can help you prepare for taxes, annual expenses, owner pay, and future obligationsWhat profit strategy looks like for a service-based businessHow cash flow, cash management, and profit strategy work together to create a financially stronger businessEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: A new financial terms series for solopreneurs[02:00] Cash flow: What's coming in, what's going out, and when[03:30] Why timing can create cash flow problems even in a profitable business[05:00] Mapping your incoming and outgoing cash[07:00] Cash management: Money hit your bank account, now what?[08:15] Why a $5,000 pay-in-full isn't automatically $5,000 available to spend[09:30] Using cash reserves for annual expenses and future obligations[11:00] Profit strategy: How to intentionally keep more of your money[13:00] Pricing, offers, capacity, expenses, and profitability[14:00] How cash flow, cash management, and profit strategy work together[15:30] Why successful businesses can still fail because of cash problems[17:30] Action steps: Audit the next 30 to 60 days of cash[19:00] The difference between bookkeeping and managing your cash[20:45] Wrap-up: Find the financial gap in your businessKey Takeaways:Cash Flow Is Simply Money In and Money OutLet's make cash flow significantly less intimidating.Cash flow is simply when money comes into your business and when money leaves your business.That's it.The timing matters because revenue doesn't necessarily mean cash is sitting in your bank account.Maybe most of your client payments hit your account after the 15th, but most of your software, subscriptions, and other expenses come out around the first.You could have a profitable business on paper and still feel constantly tight on cash because your money is leaving before your next wave of money arrives.That's a cash flow problem.Stop Looking at Revenue Booked and Start Looking at Cash in the BankOne of the simplest exercises you can do is map when your money actually arrives.Not when the invoice goes out.Not the total value of the contract.Not the revenue you've booked.When does the deposit actually hit your bank account?If you send an invoice on the first but your client normally pays around the fifth and the money doesn't reach your bank until the seventh, use the seventh when looking at your cash flow.The same applies to payment plans.If someone signs a $5,000 contract but they're paying you over six months, you don't have $5,000 in cash available today.Understanding the difference between booked revenue and actual cash helps you make significantly better financial decisions.Cash Management Answers: Now What?Once the cash hits your bank account, cash management answers the next question:Now what?Where does the money need to go?Some may need to become owner pay.Some may need to go toward taxes.Some might go toward debt.Some may need to sit in a cash reserve.And some may need to remain available for future expenses.For example, if a client pays $5,000 upfront for a six-month project, you may need to reserve some of that money because you're going to continue delivering the work for months without another payment coming in.The fact that $5,000 hit your bank account doesn't automatically mean you have $5,000 available to spend.Cash Reserves Help You Plan for Expenses Before They Become ProblemsI have annual software expenses that renew around the same time because I purchased several things during Black Friday.Those expenses aren't surprises.They happen every year.So I have a cash reserve specifically for annual renewals.That's cash management.Instead of seeing a larger bank balance and deciding I can give myself a bonus or make another investment, I already know some of that money has a future job.You can do the same thing for taxes, annual expenses, owner pay, future investments, debt payments, or other known obligations.The goal is to know what the money sitting in your account is actually there to do.Profit Strategy Is About Intentionally Keeping MoreProfit strategy is my baby.This is where we ask:How do we intentionally create a more profitable business?Maybe your pricing strategy needs to change because your margins are too low.Maybe your direct costs have increased.Maybe your offer requires too many delivery hours.Maybe you need a more scalable offer.Maybe you can delegate certain tasks and increase your capacity.Maybe unnecessary expenses need to go.Revenue tells you how much you're selling.Profit tells you how well the business is actually working for you.Inside my Focused Visionary Framework, we work on Pricing, Pipeline, and Sales because those three pillars help you generate revenue. Profit strategy asks what needs to happen so that more of that revenue actually stays in the business.These Three Financial Strategies Work TogetherCash flow, cash management, and profit strategy aren't three separate conversations.They work together.Cash flow: When is money moving into and out of the business?Cash management: Where should the money go once you have it?Profit strategy: How can we create more money to keep?A stronger profit strategy gives you more money to manage.Better cash management helps you navigate the timing of your cash flow.Understanding your cash flow helps you avoid situations where you continually rely on credit cards or debt simply because money leaves the business before the next deposits arrive.This is the intersection between business strategy and financial strategy that I want more solopreneurs to understand.Good Revenue Doesn't Protect You From Bad Cash ManagementYou can have a successful business and still run into serious financial problems.I've spoken with business owners who made money but didn't understand how to manage what was coming in. The money arrived. They spent it. More expenses came up. The cash wasn't available, so they relied on debt.Then more money came in and the cycle started over.That's why these aren't just nice-to-know financial terms.They're need-to-know business concepts.You don't need to become an accountant or CFO. But as CEO, you need enough financial understanding to recognize what's happening inside your own business.Business strategy can only take you so far if the financial strategy on the other side isn't working.Start With the Next 30 to 60 DaysYou don't need a complicated spreadsheet to start understanding your cash.Look at the next 30 to 60 days.First, identify exactly when cash is expected to hit your bank account.Then identify when money is scheduled to leave.Next, decide what jobs your incoming cash needs to have.Does it need to pay you?Does some need to go toward taxes?Do you need cash reserves for future expenses?Do you have annual renewals or other costs coming up?Then look at what's actually left after everything is paid.If there's a gap, that's information.Now you can start figuring out how to fill it through better cash management, stronger profitability, different timing, or another strategic change.Understanding Your Money Helps You Make Better CEO DecisionsA bookkeeper can provide financial reports and categorize what has already happened.But you still need to understand what those numbers mean for the decisions you're making next.Can you afford the investment?Can you pay yourself more?Why does the business generate good revenue but constantly feel tight on cash?Are your offers actually profitable?Where is your money going?This is why I'm bringing more financial strategy conversations to the podcast.You don't need to become a financial expert.But you do need to understand your money well enough to make informed decisions about your service-based...

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Sterling Birdsong, owner of Lendstra, a nationwide SBA loan placement platform helping small business owners secure $500,000 or more in funding. Sterling shares his journey from spending 13 years in banking and SBA lending to launching his own company and helping entrepreneurs navigate the often-complex funding process. He explains how working independently allows his team to connect business owners with a network of lenders and stay involved from the initial application through closing.Sterling also opens up about his entrepreneurial journey outside of lending, including how he went from opening his first tanning salon in 2024 to owning five GLO Tanning locations in less than two years. He shares the difference between starting a business from scratch and acquiring an established one, how he evaluates opportunities, and why having the right operating partner has been essential to scaling. Throughout the conversation, Sterling talks about patience, persistence, taking action, learning from mistakes, and knowing when to admit you don't have all the answers. He and C-Roc also discuss the idea of “patient urgency”—being patient with the process and outcome while staying urgent about the actions needed to move forward.Website- lendstra.com https://www.instagram.com/sterling.sba/

Where do poetry and democracy intersect?In part two of our conversation with Dayton poet laureate, educator, activist, culture keeper, and Kettering Foundation Democracy and the Arts resident artist Sierra Leone, we follow the threads of memory and imagination from a gallery of story quilts in Hamilton, Ohio, to the Legacy Sites of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama.Along the way, Sierra reads American Libation III: Weaving an Amendment for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, her response to Carolyn Crump's quilt Lovely One. She takes us inside The Belonging Project, where the stories of more than 100 Dayton residents are being harvested and turned into theater. And she shares a new poem born of a week with fellow Democracy Defenders led by Kimberlé Crenshaw in partnership with, a poem about how ideas persist and how thorns of memory grow from the womb of subjugation.If you've ever wondered what poetry has to do with the work of self-government, or how a life of civic leadership actually begins, this one's for you.In this episode we explore:Poetry asks. Democracy asks too. A poem doesn't go looking for answers. It leaves something behind for others to grapple with, and each generation has to decide what democracy will be.The petals that fall to the ground. Every society chooses which stories rise to the surface. Poets pick up the parts that fall and put some wind under them.Belonging becomes theater. Verbatim stories from returning citizens, bankers, fathers, teachers, and teens become a stage for the hard conversations communities need to have.Notable MentionsPeopleSierra Leone: Dayton's first Poet Laureate, playwright, educator, and Kettering Foundation artist-in-residence.Willis "Bing" Davis: Dayton artist and educator, founder of EbonNia Gallery, honored in Sierra's American Libation: Homage to an Elder (part one).Ketanji Brown Jackson: Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court since 2022, the first Black woman to serve on the Court.Carolyn Crump: Houston-based quilt and multimedia artist whose quilt Ketanji Brown Jackson: Lovely One inspired Sierra's poem.Dr. Carolyn L.

In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a powerful Chassidic model of inner transformation through the Nefesh HaElokit, Nefesh HaSichlit, and Nefesh HaBahamit, the G-dly soul, rational soul, and animal soul.The G-dly soul gives us direction. The rational soul translates truth into something practical and livable. And the animal soul supplies the passion, drive, desire, and energy needed to actually move. Rather than viewing spiritual life as an endless inner civil war, this class offers a more integrated path: learning how to educate desire instead of shaming it, redirect intensity instead of suppressing it, and turn ambition, fear, stubbornness, pleasure, and even the need for recognition into forces that can serve a higher purpose. The goal is to become more whole.Key PointsThe G-dly soul gives the destination. It asks: What is true? What does G-d want? What is my purpose?The rational soul builds the road. It translates big spiritual truths into realistic next steps.The animal soul provides the fuel. Desire, ambition, intensity, stubbornness, pleasure, and instinct can become powerful sources of energy when properly directed.The goal is integration, not inner warfare. Kabbalah asks us to bring our different parts into alignment.Hisbonenut changes the heart. Contemplation helps Torah ideas move from information into lived emotional reality.Desire should be educated, not worshipped or hated. The question is not only, “How do I stop this?” but also, “What is this energy looking for, and where does it belong?”Truth. Translation. Training. Identify the higher truth, translate it into one practical action, and train the natural self through repetition.Do not wait until every part of you agrees before doing good. Action itself can become part of the transformation.The obstacle can become fuel. The very trait that seems to interfere with growth may eventually become part of what carries you forward.#Kabbalah #chassidus #Tanya #kabala #WednesdayMorningKabbalah #qabbala #soul #chabad #DirahBiTachtonim #NefeshHaElokis #NefeshHaSichlis #NefeshHaBahamis #tohu #Tikkun NEW COURSE The School for Sensitive SoulsIf this class speaks to the part of you that feels deeply, thinks deeply, absorbs deeply, or sometimes carries more than you know what to do with, Rabbi Bernath is beginning a new course on October 15th called:The School for Sensitive SoulsIt is a journey through sensitivity, empathy, overthinking, boundaries, emotional intensity, relationships, burnout, and the spiritual gifts hidden inside a sensitive soul — all through the lens of Kabbalah and Chassidus.The goal is not to become less sensitive.It is to learn how to carry your sensitivity without letting it carry you.Register HERE https://www.kabbalah4everyone.com/checkout/sensitive-soulsThe School for Sensitive SoulsDo you feel everything deeply?

Thanks to our Partner, AppFueledWhat if the best recruiting tool for your auto repair shop is one you're already paying attention to but only using to attract customers?Your marketing does more than explain why people should trust your shop with their vehicles. It also gives potential team members a glimpse into your culture, your work environment, your benefits, and what it might be like to spend their days working with you.In this episode of the Auto Repair Marketing Podcast, Kim Walker and Hannah Cribbs break down how your website, social media, online reviews, and even your company culture can become powerful recruiting tools.

Right now Unabashed You Coaching is focused on helping women stuck in ‘what to do next' reset their purpose with messy action. (This can certainly apply to the men too.) Well, what is messy action? It's the act of doing before you feel fully ready. It's doing things at a B- instead of curating the perfect A. You can only get better at something by practicing, sometimes over and over again. Sure 'thinking about things' is fun but it will take decision and action to move forward.We've got 5 reasons why messy action is not only a good idea, but the best idea for you. Today. Now.Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.If you'd like to receive ongoing inspiration via email, and/ or if you want to attend our monthly FREE webinar, email us at: unabashedyou@gmail.com.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Something feels different lately, like the pressure is rising and the stakes are getting clearer. We name that feeling for what it is: a spiritual battle that doesn't start “out there,” but in the human heart, where truth competes with addiction, comfort, fear, and compromise.We pull threads from Scripture, Catholic spirituality, and spiritual warfare to explain a simple but demanding vision of the human person: body and soul plus grace. When we say yes to Christ and actually ACT, grace becomes alive and changes us. That is why we keep coming back to ACTION: love is a verb, self-gift is the path to freedom, and the interior fight has to come before any public fight.From there we zoom out to the culture, using the prophetic witness of Saint John Paul II and Archbishop Fulton Sheen to diagnose what happens when a society forgets God. John Paul II's experience under Nazism and Communism shapes his insistence on human dignity, moral truth, and authentic freedom. Sheen's warnings about the spirit of the world, distraction, and a “cut flower civilization” land hard, and they lead to practical steps like the Claymore 10-minute morning ritual, prayer, sacrifice, the sacraments, and disciplined daily choices.The Battle is real and it starts in the heart of each and every one of us! Join us at Claymore Milites Christi.comIf this conversation challenges you, don't just nod along. Share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review so more people can find the path from fear to truth and from talk to action.Support the show
