Podcasts about Aiken

Before Aiken Chia became one of Singapore's most recognizable YouTubers and food content creators, he was a broke twenty-something who had spent years auditioning, collecting rejection after rejection, and was on the verge of quitting media altogether. It was that mix of setbacks, resilience, and the unwavering support of his community that shaped the creator he is today. From his breakout years through producing a popular series called Food King, to now building his own independent channel, Aiken has created a body of work that blends food and travel storytelling with raw, personal conversations - including one of his most talked-about videos, where he sat down with his mother to unpack her 18-year affair. In this episode, we revisit those early struggles, explore the turning points that gave him hope, and unpack the values that continue to guide his journey today. In this episode, we cover:    (00:00) Introduction (01:30) Character matters more than talent  (03:03) Being called fat (05:56) Aiken's insecurities  (07:49) Being in survival mode  (09:23) People who see your potential  (11:57) The upwards trajectory  (13:29) Why do others support Aiken (16:12) Being sincere  (17:31) Executing your creative vision  (20:00) How creators create impact  (25:43) How Aiken is monetizing  (26:57) Breaking out of the “food creator” box (29:59) What Aiken is working on right now (32:32) Going through a rough patch (36:27) Aiken interviews his mom (42:15) Guiding values as a creator   (45:19) Actionable takeaways  Connect with Aiken Chia   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AikenChiaMing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aikenchia TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aikenchia  Connect with Cheryl Lau   Website: https://cheryllau.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau ANNOTATIONS - The Newsletter    The edits that got cut from the podcast.

This passionate sermon by Pastor Robert Tisdale at Tampa Life Church emphasizes the importance of purity, obedience, and eliminating compromises in one's spiritual life. Drawing from biblical narratives like the Passover in Egypt and the teachings of Jesus and Paul, Pastor Tisdale underscores the need for 'sweeping the house'—removing sin and influences that hinder spiritual freedom and growth. He highlights examples from both the Old and New Testaments, including the metaphor of yeast representing sin and impurity, and the impact of one person's actions on their community. The sermon encourages believers to stand firm in their faith, fight for their families, and resist the trends of normalization of compromising behaviors, ultimately inspiring them to create a legacy of obedience and blessing.00:00 Getting Ready for Urgent Matters00:18 The Night in Egypt: A Prelude to Freedom01:03 The Command to Sweep the House01:59 The Symbolism of Yeast and Purity02:29 God's Fast Deliverance02:59 The Call to Sweep the House05:08 The Annual Tradition of Unleavened Bread06:11 Paul's Warning to the Galatians07:25 Jesus' Teachings on Leaven08:21 The Leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herod11:06 The Story of Aiken's Sin14:35 The Rechabites' Obedience18:07 The Importance of Consistency and Obedience22:52 The Power of Small Things24:49 Shamma's Stand Against the Philistines29:30 The Call to Stand Firm and Fight32:04 Fighting for What Matters32:34 The Power of Standing Firm36:06 Learned Helplessness and Overcoming It43:09 The Importance of Small Things46:02 A Call to Action and Prayer50:23 Fighting for Family and Faith55:30 Breakthrough and Joy

It's Thursday, June 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Christians vulnerable to arrest, falsely accused of espionage Christians in Israel and Iran are experiencing fear and uncertainty during recent conflict between the two countries. Christians already face arrest in Iran for simply leading a house church. An Iranian believer told International Christian Concern, “The Iranian government is now arresting anyone caught taking or sharing photos and videos with news outlets. Christians are especially vulnerable, as they risk being accused of espionage and deemed a threat to national security. If their faith is discovered, the consequences are far worse.” Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, one served as Iranian army sniper U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend. The individuals entered the U.S. illegally, and one of them reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper.  Officials are on high alert for extremist attacks after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. Iran has threatened to carry out retaliatory terrorist attacks using sleeper cells in America.  Trump thrilled that NATO paying their fair share The NATO military alliance of western nations held its 2025 summit in the Netherlands this week. NATO countries agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of annual gross domestic product over the next 10 years. That's up from the current target of 2%. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump has called on European countries to contribute more to the defense budget of the alliance. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “This is a monumental win for the United States, because we were carrying much more than our fair share. It was quite unfair, actually. But this is a big win for Europe and for actually, Western civilization.” Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC Dem primary for mayor A Muslim socialist won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. Remarkably, Zohran Mamdani, age 33, defeated former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race. (Watch his election night victory speech) MAMDANI: “Tonight, we made history. (cheering) In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.' (cheering)  My friends, we have done it. (cheering) I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.” (cheering)   Mamdani has served as a New York state lawmaker. He campaigned on making the Big Apple more affordable, calling for free public transit, rent freezes, and universal childcare. If elected, he would be the city's first Muslim mayor.  President Trump sounded off on Truth Social. He wrote, “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. … He's got [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. … and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, ,,, groveling over him.” Two-thirds of churchgoers attend weekly The Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations project released a new report on U.S. churchgoers this month. The survey found two-thirds of respondents attend services weekly. And over 80% report stable or increased attendance compared to five years ago.  The survey noted a positive outlook: “Many more respondents said their religious faith and spirituality had strengthened since the pandemic. Likewise, financial giving has increased, as has involvement and volunteering.” In terms of newcomers, 38% of churchgoers began attending their church since the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these new attenders, nearly a third never attended church before or are returning to church after years of not participating.  Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary blasted off for the International Space Station yesterday. It's the first time astronauts from those countries have gone to space in over 40 years. Axiom Space arranged the flight which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The mission is part of NASA's effort to open space to private companies. Axiom is among several American space companies hoping to put their own space stations into orbit. The Polish astronaut on the mission said space “is not only for the biggest agencies anymore—space is for everyone.” Psalm 8:3-4 reminds us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,375  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 8 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25, James in Lebanon, Oregon who gave $50 as well as Stephen in Adrian, Oregon and Mark in Grand Forks, North Dakota–both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Richard in Camden Wyoming, Delaware who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Keith and Nicole in Aiken, South Carolina who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And we were touched by the generosity of Doreen in Caldwell, Idaho who gave $1,000, Shane in Columbia City, Indiana who $1,200, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who, as promised, matched twelve $1,000 donors with his matching gift of $12,000 which has already been incorporated into our previous total. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,375.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $70,908.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise $52,591.45 in just 5 days. That's $10,518.29 per day! We are looking for 9 super donors. Could you give $10,000? Or perhaps you feel the Lord prompting you to become one of 3 businesspeople who could give $5,000? Or one of 5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then, we would need another 6 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.

AI for Home Care: What Leaders Should KnowOn this episode of Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars, host Ken Accardi takes a turn in the interview seat to answer an important question: What should home care and adult day care leaders know about artificial intelligence (AI)? With help from his colleague Sowpha Umashankar, Ken explores AI's current role, practical applications, and future in home care. Whether you're new to AI or already experimenting with it, this episode offers accessible, relevant insights for care professionals.Topics covered in the episode are as follows:You're Already Using AI — Even If You Don't Know ItAmazon suggestions (“people who bought this also bought…”)Netflix recommendationsVoice assistants like Alexa and SiriMobile check deposits that read and verify your handwriting"AI isn't new or scary; it's quietly integrated into our lives already."AI in Home Care: Support, Not ReplacementHome care and adult day care are human-centric industries. So why use AI at all? Ken emphasizes that AI shouldn't replace personal relationships — it should enhance them by removing repetitive or time-consuming tasks.Trying AI is Easier Than You ThinkTo show how accessible AI is, Ken gives a live demo using ChatGPT, where he asks for a multiplication quiz for his son. Despite a typo in the request, the AI delivers a perfectly usable quiz instantly.Voice Interaction: Talking to AIKen demonstrates that you can also speak to AI on a phone app.Three Practical AI Use Cases for Home Care ManagersSummarizing long articlesCreating training materialsScreening resumesAI in Software: Behind the ScenesAI is also being integrated into home care software systems, often in ways users may not notice. Ken gives two examples from Ankota:Trust but Verify: The Risks of AIAI isn't perfect. It can make errors, especially if asked complex or ambiguous questions. Ken emphasizes that AI should not make final decisions alone in home care.Choosing AI Tools WiselyBefore adopting a new AI tool, Ken advises home care leaders to ask a few key questionsPro Tips for Getting the Most from AITo get better results from AI tools like ChatGPT:Define the AI's role ("You are a home care leader...")State what you want ("Write a blog about Memorial Day activities for seniors")Set expectations ("Keep it under 800 words, suitable for caregivers")This practice, called prompt engineering, helps you shape the output more effectively.Final Thoughts: Give AI a TryKen wraps the episode by encouraging listeners to stay open-minded. Like Google or Google Maps before it, AI may soon become indispensable in your daily life. The key is to start small, stay curious, and test responsibly.“You're going to like AI as much as you like Google Maps,” Ken says, “once you give it a try and get used to it.”Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars is produced and sponsored by Ankota - If you provide services that enable older or disabled people to continue living at home , Ankota can provide you the software to successfully run your agency.
