We know we are called to parent in the power of the Holy Spirit, but then life comes at us like a train and suddenly we are back to doing everything in our own strength. I know I can easily fall into this trap. I can know all the right things, but knowing the truth and actually relying on the Holy Spirit in the middle of motherhood are two very different things.In this top 10 episode, I talk with Jeannie Cunnion about what it really looks like to parent with the Holy Spirit. We start by taking an honest look at what we actually believe about Him. Do I truly trust that the Holy Spirit lives in me and wants to guide, strengthen, comfort, and help me? Jeannie reminds us that the Holy Spirit is not an "it." He is a person, our Helper, Advocate, Counselor, Comforter, and Champion.We talk about what it means to lean into His presence instead of constantly trying to figure everything out on our own. We are not parenting alone. God has graciously given us the Holy Spirit, and there is no part of the Christian life that is meant to be lived without His supernatural power.As moms, we have an incredible opportunity to be a gift to one another. We can encourage each other, pray for each other, and help carry one another when we feel like we can't keep going. We don't have to manufacture the fruit of the Spirit through our own effort. We can stay connected to God and allow His Spirit to produce His fruit in us.If you have ever felt overwhelmed by motherhood or wondered how you're supposed to keep going, I hope this conversation reminds you that you were never meant to parent alone.In this episode, we talk about: What it means to parent in the power of the Holy Spirit Taking an honest look at what we believe about the Holy Spirit Learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's promptings What it means to be the temple of the Holy Spirit Feeding the Spirit instead of feeding the flesh Why there is no "junior Holy Spirit" when it comes to our kids Connect with Jeannie Cunnion:  Website: Jeannie Cunnion  Instagram: Jeannie Cunnion (@jeanniecunnion) Links Mentioned:  Never Alone By Jeannie Cunnion Forgotten God: By Francis Chan Mom Set Free: By Jeannie Cunnion Don't Miss Out: By  Jeannie Cunnion The Jesus Storybook Bible: By Sally Lloyd-Jones Related Episodes: Cultivating Intimacy with God in Motherhood :: Jeannie Cunnion [Ep 490] Set Free From Shame :: Jeannie Cunnion [Ep 190]  Anchoring Our Kids' Lovability in Christ :: Jeannie Cunnion {Ep 91}  Featured Sponsors: Thrive Causemetics: Amplify your look with Thrive Causemetics.

In Episode 292 of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I speak with FDNY firefighter Paul Whalen about his firsthand experience responding to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Paul was working out of Ladder 109 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and had switched tours with another firefighter that morning. He describes responding toward Manhattan, traveling through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel as it filled with dust, helping civilians, and eventually making his way toward Ground Zero. Paul also shares the terrifying story of becoming separated from his company during the collapse and being placed on a missing list while his friends and family feared the worst. The conversation continues into the long-term health effects Paul experienced after 9/11, his early retirement from the FDNY, the Victims Compensation Fund, and his efforts to protect benefits for 9/11 responders and their families. This is an important conversation about courage, sacrifice, brotherhood, service, and remembering September 11th.

This week, we present SmarterMarkets™ Encore: Ideas Worth Repeating. We're bringing back an older Summer Playlist episode from 2023 with Frances Haugen. Frances is an advocate for accountability and transparency in social media and the author of the memoir, The Power of One: How I Found the Strength to Tell the Truth and Why I Blew the Whistle on Facebook.    This past week, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, agreed to an $18 billion dollars settlement with several U.S. states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harm children. They agreed to make a number of changes to its platform and algorithms, including time limits and the ability to choose a feed that is not driven by an algorithm.    In this episode, David Greely sat down with Frances to discuss the algorithms designed to capture our and our children's attention, their flaws, and how we can incentivize change and build better social networks. We thought it was timely to give this another listen.

Richard Reinsch discusses the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their principles, which advocate for economic collectivism, nationalizing private industries, and dismantling the U.S. constitutional republic in favor of a unicameral legislature. Reinsch contrasts this with a historical 1922 Kremlin conversation where Soviet leader Joseph Stalin accused American communist Jay Lovestone of "heresy" for arguing "American exceptionalism"—the idea that American working-class prosperity made them resistant to Marxism. Today, Reinsch views the DSA as an overeducated, white, urban phenomenon failing to win working-class or minority voters. (2)

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Danielle Jeter. Founder of Women in Media Global and AOI Events & PR (Affairs of Influence). The conversation explores her journey from Spelman College graduate to entrepreneur, public relations strategist, event producer, and advocate for women in media. Jeter shares lessons on branding, strategic communications, brand activations, niche marketing, entrepreneurship, and the importance of creating platforms that empower others. She also discusses how she built businesses that have impacted thousands of women and professionals worldwide. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight Danielle Jeter's entrepreneurial journey from HBCU graduate to business leader. Educate entrepreneurs about branding, marketing, PR, and brand activations. Explain the importance of strategic communication in a crowded media landscape. Share practical advice for startups and small business owners. Discuss the mission and impact of Women in Media Global. Inspire listeners to create businesses and initiatives that solve real-world problems. Key Takeaways 1. HBCUs Create Leaders and Innovators Jeter credits Spelman College with shaping her leadership skills, confidence, and professional ambition. She described the institution's commitment to educating Black women and fostering a culture of excellence, sisterhood, and achievement. Lesson: Educational environments that challenge and support students can have lifelong impacts on career success. 2. Entrepreneurship Requires Adaptability Jeter's company originally operated under the name Affairs of Isis Events. As public perception of the word "ISIS" changed due to global events, she faced increasing resistance from clients and audiences. Rather than allowing the issue to hinder growth, she successfully rebranded the company as Affairs of Influence (AOI Events & PR). Lesson: Successful entrepreneurs adapt when market conditions or public perceptions change. 3. Strategic Communication Is About Understanding Your Audience Jeter explained that effective communication begins with understanding what matters to consumers and delivering messages in ways that capture attention. She emphasized that businesses are no longer competing only against other brands. Lesson: Today's competition is for consumer attention. 4. Your Brand Is Your Reputation One of the strongest points in the conversation was Jeter's definition of branding. She explained that a brand is not a logo, color palette, website, or marketing material. Lesson: A brand is the reputation people associate with your business when you're not in the room. 5. Brand Activations Create Emotional Connections Jeter described brand activations as opportunities to create meaningful interactions between businesses and customers through events, experiences, partnerships, and community engagement. Successful activations allow consumers to connect emotionally with a brand. Lesson: People remember experiences more than advertisements. 6. Partnerships Accelerate Business Growth Early in her career, Jeter partnered with local elected officials, community leaders, and organizations to expand her visibility and credibility. These strategic partnerships helped her introduce her brand to larger audiences while building trust. Lesson: Borrowing credibility through trusted partnerships can accelerate business growth. 7. Marketing Should Be Planned, Not Reactive Jeter stressed that many entrepreneurs spend too much time creating products and too little time planning how to sell them. She recommends incorporating marketing into business planning from the beginning. Lesson: A great product without a marketing strategy often struggles to succeed. 8. Know Your Audience and Focus on Them Rather than trying to appeal to everyone, Jeter encouraged entrepreneurs to understand the demographics, behaviors, and interests of their ideal customers. Lesson: Niche marketing is more effective than attempting to reach everyone. 9. Customer Feedback Is Valuable Market Research Jeter discussed the importance of surveys, focus groups, think tanks, and direct conversations with customers. She regularly gathers feedback before launching products, services, and initiatives. Lesson: Let customers help shape what you create. 10. Build Solutions Based on Needs Women in Media Global was born after Jeter observed a lack of female representation in media and entertainment. Rather than simply criticizing the issue, she created a platform designed to address it. Lesson: Great businesses and organizations often emerge from solving unmet needs. Notable Quotes Danielle Jeter on Strategic Communication "Our competition is the attention of our buyers." Danielle Jeter on Branding "Your brand is your reputation." Danielle Jeter on Customer Relationships "Your brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room." Danielle Jeter on Brand Activations "You create an experience for your customers and those who you want to be your customers." Danielle Jeter on Marketing "We have to show up where they are." Danielle Jeter on Entrepreneurship "I don't launch ideas because I think they're great. I launch them because there is a need." Danielle Jeter on Women in Media Global "I created this platform to remind women to own their voice." Danielle Jeter on Female Leadership "I wanted to empower them to advocate, take up more space, and become leaders." Danielle Jeter on Business Growth "You have to learn and understand the demographics of your audience." Overall Message The interview delivers a powerful message about intentional entrepreneurship, strategic communication, and purpose-driven leadership. Danielle Jeter demonstrates that successful businesses are built not only on great ideas, but also on understanding audiences, building strong relationships, creating meaningful experiences, and solving real needs. Through AOI Events & PR and Women in Media Global, she has created a model for leveraging communication, branding, and community impact to build sustainable success while empowering others to find and use their voices. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to Zechariah 3, where Joshua the high priest stands accused, filthy, and unable to defend himself. Satan brings the accusation, but the Lord answers for Joshua. The priest has no argument strong enough to silence the accuser, but God speaks one sentence and the courtroom changes.Zechariah 3 reminds us that God does not tell sinners to clean themselves up before coming near. He removes the filthy garments, takes away iniquity, clothes His people in holiness, and points us forward to the Branch—Jesus, our true Priest-King and Advocate.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Danielle Jeter. Founder of Women in Media Global and AOI Events & PR (Affairs of Influence). The conversation explores her journey from Spelman College graduate to entrepreneur, public relations strategist, event producer, and advocate for women in media. Jeter shares lessons on branding, strategic communications, brand activations, niche marketing, entrepreneurship, and the importance of creating platforms that empower others. She also discusses how she built businesses that have impacted thousands of women and professionals worldwide. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight Danielle Jeter's entrepreneurial journey from HBCU graduate to business leader. Educate entrepreneurs about branding, marketing, PR, and brand activations. Explain the importance of strategic communication in a crowded media landscape. Share practical advice for startups and small business owners. Discuss the mission and impact of Women in Media Global. Inspire listeners to create businesses and initiatives that solve real-world problems. Key Takeaways 1. HBCUs Create Leaders and Innovators Jeter credits Spelman College with shaping her leadership skills, confidence, and professional ambition. She described the institution's commitment to educating Black women and fostering a culture of excellence, sisterhood, and achievement. Lesson: Educational environments that challenge and support students can have lifelong impacts on career success. 2. Entrepreneurship Requires Adaptability Jeter's company originally operated under the name Affairs of Isis Events. As public perception of the word "ISIS" changed due to global events, she faced increasing resistance from clients and audiences. Rather than allowing the issue to hinder growth, she successfully rebranded the company as Affairs of Influence (AOI Events & PR). Lesson: Successful entrepreneurs adapt when market conditions or public perceptions change. 3. Strategic Communication Is About Understanding Your Audience Jeter explained that effective communication begins with understanding what matters to consumers and delivering messages in ways that capture attention. She emphasized that businesses are no longer competing only against other brands. Lesson: Today's competition is for consumer attention. 4. Your Brand Is Your Reputation One of the strongest points in the conversation was Jeter's definition of branding. She explained that a brand is not a logo, color palette, website, or marketing material. Lesson: A brand is the reputation people associate with your business when you're not in the room. 5. Brand Activations Create Emotional Connections Jeter described brand activations as opportunities to create meaningful interactions between businesses and customers through events, experiences, partnerships, and community engagement. Successful activations allow consumers to connect emotionally with a brand. Lesson: People remember experiences more than advertisements. 6. Partnerships Accelerate Business Growth Early in her career, Jeter partnered with local elected officials, community leaders, and organizations to expand her visibility and credibility. These strategic partnerships helped her introduce her brand to larger audiences while building trust. Lesson: Borrowing credibility through trusted partnerships can accelerate business growth. 7. Marketing Should Be Planned, Not Reactive Jeter stressed that many entrepreneurs spend too much time creating products and too little time planning how to sell them. She recommends incorporating marketing into business planning from the beginning. Lesson: A great product without a marketing strategy often struggles to succeed. 8. Know Your Audience and Focus on Them Rather than trying to appeal to everyone, Jeter encouraged entrepreneurs to understand the demographics, behaviors, and interests of their ideal customers. Lesson: Niche marketing is more effective than attempting to reach everyone. 9. Customer Feedback Is Valuable Market Research Jeter discussed the importance of surveys, focus groups, think tanks, and direct conversations with customers. She regularly gathers feedback before launching products, services, and initiatives. Lesson: Let customers help shape what you create. 10. Build Solutions Based on Needs Women in Media Global was born after Jeter observed a lack of female representation in media and entertainment. Rather than simply criticizing the issue, she created a platform designed to address it. Lesson: Great businesses and organizations often emerge from solving unmet needs.

When we sin, we do not look to our innocence—we look to our Advocate, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is our propitiation, the sacrifice who fully satisfied God's righteous judgment against sin. You cannot out-sin the cross.1 John 2 reminds us that if we know Him, we should walk like Him; if we walk in the light, we should love His people; and if we have heard the gospel, we must let it remain in us. The Spirit will never lead us beyond biblical truth—He leads us deeper into it. So today, read 1 John 2 and abide until you see Him: love the Word, recognize the lie, reject the world, and walk in the light.

When Lisbeth Peguero was a little girl, her mom took her to speech therapy once. Inside the office, she did not stutter at all. The therapist told her mom she was fine and did not need help. Walking out, Lisbeth felt relieved. Not because she was actually fine, but because she did not want to be the girl who went to speech therapy. She did not want to disappoint her mom. That moment shaped how she felt about her stutter for years.In this episode, Lisbeth, a model, paralegal, and stuttering advocate from Austin, Texas, talks about growing up with a stutter she tried to hide. She shares what it is like to walk into a casting room and have to say your name out loud when you stutter, and the night she got on stage at a mall in Houston, microphone in hand, to audition for Victoria's Secret in front of Ashley Graham. She also talks about starting a podcast, getting her Pilates certification, and the speech therapy that finally helped her stop trying to get rid of her stutter and start learning to accept it.In this episodeLisbeth's auditionLisbeth's podcastFollow Lisbeth on IG & TikTokSupport Proud Stutter----Big thanks to Proud Stutter's recurring supporters: Jennifer Bolen, Jerry Slaff, Josh Compton, Pablo Meza, Alexandra Mosby, Ingo Helbig, Jonathan Reiss, Jason Smith, Paige McGill, Wayne Engebretson, Swathy Manavalan, and Martha Horrocks.If you can become a monthly donor at $10 or more, we'll give you access to ad-free episodes and bonus Proud Stutter+ content as a token of our thanks!

SLPs have been screaming for a long time that reimbursement is too low, costs are rising, and access to speech-language pathology services is being threatened. But can we prove it with national data?In this episode, Jeanette Benigas, PhD/SLP, introduces The Speech Pathology Education, Advocacy and Knowledge (SPEAK) Project and its first major initiative: building a national economic dataset that shows what it actually costs to provide SLP services and turn those numbers into credible national evidence we can use to advocate directly with CMS during the current public comment period.Jeanette is joined by private practice owner Holly Ellis, MS/SLP, and CPA Cody Underwood to discuss how North Carolina built its own cost analysis, why independent financial analysis matters, and what the national SPEAK Project will measure, including CPT 92507, dysphagia and cognitive services, treatment time, payer mix, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, workforce pressures, waitlists, and access to care.The immediate goal: collect high-quality data from all 50 states (+ DC) and turn that evidence into meaningful advocacy.Give data.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Ted Oakley to the show. Ted Oakley is Founder and Managing Partner | Oxbow Advisors. The discussion explores investment strategy, focusing on long-term holdings, hard assets, and contrarian opportunities. Oakley emphasizes the importance of a longer investment horizon, typically holding stocks for three to ten years, while acknowledging that most traders focus on short-term moves, often using leverage and options—which he views as risky. He notes that his firm recently bought back gold, silver, and mining stocks after significant corrections, considering them cheap on a cash flow basis, and continues to hold energy positions. Oakley expresses caution regarding certain AI-driven tech companies, citing concerns about debt levels, earnings quality, and the sustainability of current growth. He sees parallels to the late 1990s and the potential for revaluation if commercial viability falters. He advocates maintaining liquidity to seize opportunities during market dislocations, often holding substantial short-term treasuries alongside gold as a currency hedge against dollar depreciation and long-term inflationary pressures from rising government debt and deficits. The conversation turns to gold, with Oakley viewing the recent pullback to around $4,000 as a buying opportunity for those with a multi-year outlook, expecting much higher prices driven by central bank purchases and de-dollarization trends. He sees gold miners and royalty companies as undervalued, noting strong balance sheets and wide profit margins relative to extraction costs. Silver is also considered attractive, though more volatile. On energy, Oakley highlights the sector's profitability even at moderate oil prices and the structural supply constraints from underinvestment. He recommends a diversified approach across producers, pipelines, and service companies, focusing on quality names bought at a discount to intrinsic value. He also discusses critical minerals and iron ore as part of a broader hard asset strategy to protect against currency debasement.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Justin M. Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved. Pooling Resources for Wealth Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs. Amazon DSP Opportunity Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations. Construction Business Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

What do you do when you've kept your covenants, guarded your heart, served the poor, and lived with absolute integrity—yet your whole world collapses anyway? In this complete, deep-dive masterclass on the Book of Job, we trace the entire arc of human suffering, theological wrestling, and divine revelation, discovering how a man sitting in ashes moved from raw questioning to the ultimate witness: "I know that my Redeemer liveth." Summary of the Video: This comprehensive guide walks step-by-step through the 42 chapters of the Book of Job. We begin in the pre-mortal council, exploring why God allows the "hedge" of protection to be lowered and why "divine restraint" is an act of love designed to build spiritual muscle. We analyze the four crushing waves of loss that wiped out Job's wealth, health, and ten children, offering a compassionate look at Job's grief and the silent ministry of his three friends. We then unpack the core conflict: the breakdown of "Retribution Theology" (the false idea that sin always equals suffering). We follow the three rounds of intense debate between Job and his accusers, exploring Job's desperate plea for a "Daysman" (Mediator) and his prophetic shadows of Jesus Christ. Finally, we study Job's final oath of innocence, Elihu's breakthrough teaching on the refining purpose of trials, God's breathtaking 59 questions out of the whirlwind, and the profound lessons of Job 42—where intercessory forgiveness for his friends unlocked a double restoration of everything he had lost. Key Doctrinal Insights Included: The Hedged Life & Divine Restraint (Job 1–2): Why God permits trials and how agency requires a space for opposition. The Trap of the Prosperity Gospel (Job 4–27): Why assuming suffering is always caused by personal sin leads to self-righteousness and spiritual collapse. Job as a Type of Christ (Job 16–19): How Job's unearned agony, betrayal, and crying blood prefigure the Garden of Gethsemane and Calvary. The Search for the "Daysman" (Job 9 & 19): The Old Testament promise of Jesus Christ as our Advocate and Redeemer. The Refining Purpose of Pain (Job 32–37): Elihu's perspective that suffering is a divine classroom to purge pride. Hearing vs. Seeing God (Job 42): How trials convert secondhand theology into firsthand, face-to-face relationship with the Divine. The Lesson of the Book of Job: You don't need a line-by-line explanation for every trial in your life as long as you know the God who holds you in His hands. When you stop demanding explanations and start seeking His presence, your crucible becomes your sanctuary. Call-to-Action: Have you ever experienced a season where God felt silent, but looking back, you realized He was refining your faith into pure gold? How has the Book of Job changed your perspective on personal trials? Share your thoughts and testimonies in the comments below! Like and Subscribe for more deep-dive scripture study!
