Pastors in expensive cities often cannot afford stable housing on ministry salaries. That financial pressure quietly threatens their ability to serve. If you want to see your faith show up in practical, tangible ways at work and with your money, this episode gives you a real example of what that looks like. Key Discussion Points Nicole explains how the Aslan Housing Foundation builds down payment assistance programs for pastors, using church investors, donor-advised funds, and self-directed IRAs to fund stable housing without competing with the church's general giving. She describes a core operating value: do nothing about staff without staff. Surveys go out to both church leadership and pastoral staff before any housing strategy is built, so the people with the actual need have a voice in the solution. Nicole unpacks what she calls a triple bottom line for investors: market-rate financial returns, a stabilized ministry, and a more secure pastor and family. She talks about how she brings her faith into secular professional settings without forcing it, including sending a simple email to a real estate team in Hawaii during flooding to let them know she was praying for their safety. She and host Addison Williams discuss how Christians in any profession hold two marketplace roles: what they do with their time at work and what they do with their money outside of it. About the Guest Nicole Marie Bergeron is the founder and CEO of Aslan Housing Foundation, a California-based nonprofit that helps churches develop housing strategies for their pastoral staff. She holds a joint degree in law and public policy and spent two decades in philanthropy and social impact work before launching Aslan in 2018. Her background gives her a systems-level view of a problem most church leaders have never named out loud.

A Christchurch cancer survivor who won a privacy case is furious that a company director has told her that two of his companies can't pay tribunal-ordered damages. The Human Rights Review Tribunal found Richard Brady's companies breached Cheryl Horrell's privacy, and ordered them to pay her more than $10,000. Mr Brady says the companies are broke, although another of his businesses has received more than $11 million in taxpayer funding. Keiller MacDuff reports.
The Saskatoon new public library is on track to open in 2027. But it still has many asking questions about the $150-million price tag and what taxpayers can expect in return. Bronwyn Eyre, Saskatchewan's former attorney general and justice minister and senior fellow at the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy, is one of those voices who has been critical of the project. She joins Brent to talk about this and her recent piece on the Notwithstanding Clause.
Everyone wants to know who is winning. Iran or America. Russia or Ukraine. China or the West. I think we're asking the wrong question. The better question is whether anyone can actually afford to win anymore. This episode explores the Strait of Hormuz, the evolving negotiations with Iran, the rise of drone warfare, and the economic realities reshaping modern conflict. We examine why military power alone is no longer enough, how leverage has become the new battlefield, and why energy, inflation, supply chains, and investing are all connected. Because the next great war may not be fought in trenches—it may be fought through economics.

Everyone wants to know who is winning. Iran or America. Russia or Ukraine. China or the West. I think we're asking the wrong question. The better question is whether anyone can actually afford to win anymore. This episode explores the Strait of Hormuz, the evolving negotiations with Iran, the differences between today's conflict and past agreements, and why drone warfare is reshaping military strategy across the globe. We connect oil, inflation, economic warfare, and investing into one larger conversation about leverage, resilience, and power. Because the next great conflict may not be fought in trenches—it may be fought in markets, supply chains, and systems.
Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Why Your Nonprofit Can't Afford to Outsource Its Own Capacity There is a moment that arrives in almost every mission-driven organization. You build something that works. A program, a platform, a process. It depends on one person, one vendor, one funder, one system that only one set of hands understands. And for a while, that works just fine. Then that one thing disappears. The developer leaves. The funder pulls out. The grant ends. The person who knew how everything fit together walks out the door. And suddenly the thing you built is not just struggling. It is locked. You cannot get in. You cannot fix it. You cannot move. This is not a story about bad luck. When an organization's capacity lives entirely outside its own walls, a single disruption becomes an existential threat. That is a question of nonprofit technology capacity, and it is structural. When the systems your mission depends on are owned by someone else, you are not running an organization. You are renting one. The Source of This Thinking I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I recently had a conversation about exactly this with Chris Conlee, and it sharpened how I think about what actually creates staying power in nonprofits. Not because the ideas were new, but because they explained why certain approaches hold up over time. Outsourced Capacity Is a Structural Vulnerability Here is the pattern I keep seeing. A heart-first leader has a real idea. They do not have the technical skill to build it, so they hire it out. They find a vendor, sign a contract, and hand over the keys. The thing gets built. It even works. What they have actually done is create a dependency they cannot see. The code, the logins, the design files, the institutional knowledge of how it all connects, all of it lives somewhere else. As long as the relationship holds, nobody notices the risk. The risk is invisible right up until the moment it is the only thing that matters. This framing adds risk because it hides the cost. You feel like you saved money by not building in-house. What you actually did was move the most fragile part of your organization outside your own control and hope nothing ever happened to it. When the disruption comes, and it always comes eventually, the bill arrives all at once. You are locked out of your own work. You have already spent more than you raised. And you are facing a choice between starting over and shutting down. Heart-First Is Not the Problem Let me say something clearly, because heart-first leaders carry too much shame about this already. The nonprofit sector is full of people who led with their hearts and figured out the systems later. Very few of them woke up one day and decided to become a nonprofit CEO and then went to school for it. They saw a need. They moved toward it. The leadership skills and the systems came second. There is nothing wrong with that order. The mission should come first. The trouble is what happens when the heart builds something real and then never circles back to build the foundation underneath it. You cannot run a complex business model on heart alone forever. At some point the moving parts multiply, the dependencies stack up, and the gap between what you care about and what you can actually control becomes the thing that breaks you. The answer is not to care less. It is to build the plumbing first, so the thing you care about has something solid to stand on. The Single Point of Failure Is Always a Design Choice When you rely on one developer, one platform, one funder, you have made a design choice, whether you meant to or not. You have decided that the survival of your organization rests on something you do not control. Most leaders never decide this consciously. It happens by default. You build the fastest way you can with the resources you have, and the fastest way almost always means leaning hard on a single source. Speed feels like progress. The hidden cost is concentration. The same logic shows up in budgets, which is why I think of underfunding as a design choice rather than an accident. The work of leadership is to look around the corner before the corner arrives. Where is your organization dangerously concentrated right now? One major donor who covers half your budget. One staff member who is the only one who knows how payroll runs. One vendor who holds the keys to the system your whole program depends on. These are the questions that separate organizations that last from organizations that get one bad season and disappear. The Mechanism, Named Plainly One line from that conversation has stayed with me: "It's not that you need to use AI to stay ahead, because it's now sort of expected. If you're not using AI, you're just by default behind." What I appreciate about this framing is that it explains the mechanism. The ground has shifted. The tools that used to require a hired specialist and a five-figure budget are now within reach of a determined leader with the right guardrails. The barrier that justified outsourcing your capacity is mostly gone. When you keep outsourcing anyway, you are paying the old price for a problem that no longer requires it. Owning Your Capacity Changes What You Can Survive When Chris rebuilt his organization's app himself, the thing that changed was not the app. It was the relationship between the organization and its own infrastructure. A user reports a bug. He opens the logs. He fixes it in minutes, in-house, without waiting on anyone twelve time zones away. That is what owning your capacity buys you. Not perfection. Things still break. Owning your capacity means that when something breaks, you can fix it. The difference between an organization that survives disruption and one that does not is rarely the size of the disruption. It is whether the organization can respond without being locked out of its own work. This is true far beyond app development. The same logic applies to your donor data, your financial systems, your program delivery, your knowledge of how the whole thing runs. Wherever a single external dependency holds your mission hostage, you have found the place that will break you first. What This Makes Possible When a leader sees this clearly, the relationship to technology stops being a source of dread. The fear of the system breaking, of the vendor disappearing, of being locked out, that fear comes from not owning the thing your mission depends on. Build the capacity inside the organization and that weight lifts. What you are left with is an organization that can absorb a bad season without collapsing. One that fixes its own problems instead of waiting on someone else to find the time. One that can take the expertise it already holds and put it in front of the people who need it, at a scale that actually moves the needle. That is what staying power looks like. It is built, not hoped for. Closing This isn't about doing more. It's about owning what your mission depends on. Nonprofits can control their own systems. They can fix their own problems. They can scale the expertise they already have. Not by hiring it all out and hoping it holds, but by building the capacity to stand on their own. About the Guest Chris Conlee is my guest for this episode. Chris is an Army veteran and a long-time Hollywood film editor who traded the red carpet for the server room to build something that matters. After a series of "perfect storm" disasters—including a total industry shutdown and losing our lead developer—I spent six months teaching myself to code with AI to rebuild PIFster from the ground up. My wife Shashana and I now run this community of micro-donors, where we prove every day that a bunch of people giving just $1 a month can collectively change the life of an "underdog" charity. When I'm not in the code, I'm likely at our home in East LA, which we've turned into a bit of a sanctuary for local street rescues.

What if the reason you feel stretched thin isn't your workload—but your isolation? Many of us quietly believe we don't have time for friendships, but the truth is we make time for what we value. And in the pursuit of productivity, relationships are often the first thing we sacrifice. Yet from the very beginning God declared: “it is not good for man to be alone.” We were never designed to do life or leadership on our own. In this episode, we're confronting the hidden cost of isolation and why meaningful friendships might be the missing piece to a fuller, healthier, more impactful life.
Are you a woman going through a divorce who can't afford a lawyer? Did you know you can use AI to help defend yourself?Listen in as our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Anna Lissansky, founder of Alice in Legal Wonderland, a platform specifically built for the people the legal system has completely forgotten about.Diane met Anna at Web Summit when she boldly ran up and pitched herself, and the conversation that followed is one you need to hear.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The staggering reality of what a contested divorce actually costs and why most women in the disadvantaged position just give up and walk away from what they're entitled toWhy Anna represented herself through a three-year process, including an 11-day trial and what gave her the confidence to do itThe hallucination problem: why you can't just use ChatGPT for legal matters and what Anna built to solve itThe legal strategy Anna used that most lawyers deliberately avoid and how it dramatically changed the shape of her trialThe moment she corrected the judge three times in court and why having the right tools made that possibleWhy there are over 700 AI tools built for lawyers but barely a dozen for the people who actually need help mostThe "forgotten middle": who falls through the cracks of the legal system and why legal aid isn't the answer for most womenWhat to say from day one of your case if you're using AI and how transparency actually protects youThe simulation feature coming to Alice: how it will help you make informed decisions before spending years and thousands of dollars finding out the hard wayAnna's final message about lawyers, judges, and the accountability gap nobody talks aboutAnna's Bio:Ana Lissansky has always been an early adopter of technology. Recently, as a single mother navigating a contested divorce, she began using AI tools to support her case because she could not afford a lawyer while facing her ex's legal team. She self-represented during an 11-day trial and learned firsthand that AI can sometimes generate inaccurate information. That experience inspired her to launch Alice in Legal Wonderland, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping self-represented litigants use AI more effectively and responsibly. She is currently building partnerships with verifiable AI companies that prioritize accuracy and transparency by admitting when they “don't know” instead of generating false information.Anna's Social Media links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lissanskyWebsite: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comSign up to Alice in Legal Wonderland's waitlist and receive 2 months free access: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comThis show's host, Diane Rolston, is called THE Expert on Being Dynamic and living a Dynamic Life.

Today, Steve sits down with Stephanie Forbes, CEO of the Forbes Group. Stephanie is a supply chain expert who recently released Global Wealth, Local Impact: How Supply Chains Build Thriving Companies, Cultures, and Countries, a book about building supply chains using lessons from our past. She and Steve discuss what she learned in her research for the book and supply chain management principles leaders can rely on in these unsteady times. Stephanie also gives advice for small and medium-sized businesses, how to manage supply chain issues across departments, and digital risk management. Key Takeaways: Frequent reviews of internal systems and supplier compliance are key to supply chain management in uncertain times. We innovate and solve problems better when we work in teams and across departments, and it's the leader's job to enable and encourage such collaboration. Boards have the responsibility to ask questions and investigate whether their organizations are managing their supply chains as well and securely as they could. Tune in to hear more about: What history teaches us about how we manage societies (2:08) How supply chains will change over the next five to ten years (10:25) The three questions boards should ask to secure their supply chains (25:58) Standout Quotes: “If I'm only a couple of people, 10 people, then I'm probably not going to bring in a full-scale audit unless I'm importing a lot of goods, unless I have a really big tariff bill, and then it's probably worth it for me to take a look at that. So you're going to want to cherry pick the things that are really important.” - Stephanie Forbes “It's going to become very difficult, I think, in another five, 10 years to buy anything that doesn't have a full life -cycle knowledge, awareness or paper trail. And that's gonna be all the way down to the ink or the physical ore, all that kind of stuff.” - Stephanie Forbes “The more as a leader in your organization that you can really encourage and foster that cross-functional collaboration between your operations and whether it's procurement, supply chain, even finance, to really make sure everyone's talking the same language, it becomes a huge competitive advantage, especially when things are changing so rapidly.” - Stephanie Forbes Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and TwitterFrom the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

You said yes before you even checked. You know you want to go. You know you'll figure it out. But somewhere in the back of your head, there's this low hum of uncertainty that follows you the whole time — and it takes the edge off the fun.A few weeks ago, a friend texted me about a beach trip for the Fourth of July. It was an immediate yes. No hesitation. But before I sent that confirmation text, I asked for a few days to look at the numbers. In this episode, I breaks down exactly what happened when I sat down to do that money check-in, what I found, what I adjusted, and why my husband didn't quite get it at first. I also explains the difference between asking "can we afford this?" and asking "how are we going to cash flow this and still hit our wealth goals?" — because those are two very different questions, and only one of them actually builds wealth.You'll learn:✅ Why "can we afford it" is not the right benchmark if you are serious about building wealth✅ What it actually looks like to cash flow a fun expense without derailing your goals✅ Why a 20 to 30 minute money check-in, asking yourself the right questions, before a big decision can give you total peace for the whole trip✅ How to give every version of yourself — present you, future you, mom you, wealth-building you — a seat at the tableIf you are the person who always figures it out later but never quite feels settled about it, this episode is going to hit home. The goal is not just to afford the trip. The goal is to enjoy it fully, knowing your numbers are already handled.Let's connect:Website: www.buildinggenwealth.comInstagram: @building.gen.wealthLearn more about 1:1 Money Coaching: www.buildinggenwealth.com/moneycoaching

Xbox boss Asha Sharma acknowledged the increasing price of existing hardware and components — fuelled by global crises and the rise of AI — and said the industry had "reached a point where it will be hard to imagine" mass audiences still being able to afford "thousands of dollars" for a new console generation.
India just found natural gas off the Andaman coast. The energy minister called it "an ocean of energy opportunities." Considering India's energy vulnerabilities, this is a significant find, even if commercial production is a decade away.Because in the meantime, the war on Iran has doubled LNG prices, cut off Qatar (which supplied nearly half of India's imports) and pushed India into buying six times more American gas than it was before the conflict began. The US has already used energy as a bargaining chip in the tariff standoff last year, putting India again in a tough spot.But now analysts are predicting a global LNG glut. And while cheaper imports do sound like relief, they might just be another trap.Read Blas's piece here.Read Anand's piece for The Ken here.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Shopify: Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/trent Hey Rehabbers. I need you to hear this and I need you to really let it sink in. You have been explaining yourself to people who were never going to understand you. You've been justifying your worth to people who were never going to see it. You've been shrinking, adjusting, performing, doing everything you can to make yourself easier to accept and it's costing you the one thing you can't afford to lose... Yourself. Here's the truth nobody tells you: the right people don't need a sales pitch. They don't need you to over-explain your past, defend your decisions, or dim your light so they feel comfortable around it. The right people recognize your value because you live it, not because you perform it for them. And the wrong ones? No amount of proving will ever be enough. So this episode is about learning to stop. Stop chasing approval from people who were never in your corner to begin with. Stop overselling yourself to rooms that were never built for you. And start standing in something deeper, a quiet, unshakable confidence that doesn't need anyone's validation to hold its ground. We're getting into: Why you keep over-explaining and the fear that's actually driving it The difference between living your value and performing it and why one works and one never will How to let go of desperate validation, without becoming cold or closed off What quiet confidence actually looks like and how to build it from the inside out Why you are already enough, not when you prove it, not when they finally see it. Right now. This one is personal. This one is necessary. And if you've ever made yourself smaller just to fit into someone else's world, this episode was made for you. You don't have to prove your worth. You just have to know it. Let's get it, It All Starts With You!
