Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 11:28 — Jesus, Quiet My Mind This Morning and Lift the Weight I Carry Into the Day Ahead Recorded Live from London, England — with Reverend Ben Cooper Matthew 11:28 (NIV) — “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Mateus 11:28 — “Venham a Mim, todos os que estão cansados e sobrecarregados, e Eu lhes darei descanso.” Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) — “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast.” Isaías 26:3 — “Tu guardarás em perfeita paz aquele cuja mente está firme em Ti.” descanso profundo • calma mental • paz que governa — deep rest, mental calm, ruling peace descanso profundo • calma mental • paz que governa — deep rest, calm mind, governing peace As the morning settles across London and across every home listening worldwide, Jesus speaks the most tender words a weary heart can hear: “Come to Me.” This is not a command to perform but an invitation to release. Morning voices often rush in — responsibility, pressure, fear, the noise of yesterday reaching into today — but in this hour, the voice of Jesus is stronger, calmer, nearer. Lord, You know the burdens carried into this day — the worries that rise early, the expectations that feel heavy, the tasks waiting ahead. You call us not to hide the weight but to bring it to You. You promise rest — descanso profundo — where anxiety loses its grip and peace begins to lead the mind. Align our thoughts with Your truth. Hold our thinking steady when it tries to scatter. Let Isaiah 26:3 become real inside us: a perfect peace that governs the inner world even when the outer world feels demanding. Quiet the storms within. Slow the racing thoughts. Heal the tired places. Speak peace over responsibilities, relationships, work, and unseen struggles. Jesus, I come to You now — Eu venho a Ti, Jesus. Entrego este peso. Peço Tua paz perfeita. (Jesus, I come to You. I lay down this weight. I ask for Your perfect peace.) Let this morning become a refuge. Let Your rest settle on the heart. Let Your peace take the lead. And let the weight carried into this day be lifted by the One who never grows weary.

Many leaders today are experiencing "Quiet Cracking," a state of Burnout 2.0 where we are expected to remain high-functioning while navigating empathy fatigue and physical exhaustion. The expectation is to "power through," but this move erodes our creative vision and ability to connect with others. If you feel this internal crumbling, know that you aren't failing; you are simply reacting to a culture where logic alone cannot solve our most polarizing global challenges. To help you find your way back, I am sharing a 7-minute somatic centering practice. Why We Center Centering is a practice that helps us stay present, connected, and open - even in the face of suffering. By returning to this physical place in our bodies, we: Counteract "Quiet Cracking". Move from automatically "powering through" to finding a grounding presence to be with what is emerging. Prioritize Human Sustainability. Align your body's biology with your actual capacity for leadership to find a pace that can sustain your available energy rather than deplete it. Reclaim the Present. Stop "leapfrogging" over your life by reconnecting with your tissues to land in the present moment, all that there is. Cultivate Resilience. Create a body-based home to return to when you are stirred or activated, so you respond rather than react to this moment. Practice Highlights In this guided session, you will: Expand Your Awareness. Soften your gaze to move out of the "tunnel vision" of crisis and toward imagining new possibilities. Connect to Purpose. Focus on your breath and your body as you answer: What matters most to me right now? to name the future you desire. Embody Dignity. Feel the length of your body as a reminder that your worth is not tied to your productivity, but simply to the fact that you exist as you are. Show Notes & Resources

Kepemimpinan inovatif di era modern menuntut pergeseran paradigma dari kontrol instruksional menuju penciptaan ekosistem yang berorientasi pada dampak. Landasan utama dari transformasi ini adalah kemampuan pemimpin untuk memberikan inspirasi (Inspire) dengan menjawab pertanyaan mendasar mengenai alasan di balik setiap pekerjaan. Seorang pemimpin harus berperan sebagai narator ulung yang mampu mengubah visi perusahaan dari sekadar slogan menjadi sebuah misi yang hidup dan bermakna bagi setiap anggota tim. Dengan menanamkan makna yang lebih dalam pada tugas harian, pemimpin membangkitkan motivasi intrinsik yang mendorong tim untuk berani bereksperimen dan melampaui batas kemampuan standar mereka demi mencapai tujuan kolektif yang lebih besar. Setelah inspirasi terbangun, tantangan berikutnya adalah memastikan bahwa seluruh energi kreatif tim tersalurkan ke arah yang tepat melalui penyelarasan strategi (Align). Keselarasan bukan berarti penghilangan perbedaan pendapat, melainkan terciptanya pemahaman bersama mengenai prioritas utama yang harus dicapai organisasi. Pemimpin yang efektif harus berani melakukan seleksi ketat terhadap inisiatif yang ada, atau yang dikenal dengan istilah "kejamnya prioritas," untuk memastikan sumber daya tidak terpecah pada proyek-proyek yang tidak berdampak signifikan. Melalui komunikasi yang transparan dan dua arah, hambatan di tingkat eksekusi dapat diidentifikasi lebih cepat, sehingga keselarasan antara visi strategis dan operasional lapangan tetap terjaga dengan solid. Tahap terakhir dalam siklus ini adalah memperkuat (Amplify) potensi tim agar mampu menghasilkan dampak yang luas dan berkelanjutan melalui pemberdayaan dan efisiensi. Pada tahap ini, pemimpin bertransformasi menjadi pelatih yang memupuk otonomi melalui pendekatan bimbingan yang konstruktif, sekaligus menciptakan budaya keamanan psikologis di mana kegagalan dipandang sebagai data berharga untuk belajar. Dengan mengandalkan unit-unit kecil yang gesit dan berfokus pada hasil nyata (outcome) daripada sekadar kuantitas produksi (output), organisasi dapat bergerak lebih cepat dalam merespons perubahan pasar. Sinergi antara inspirasi yang kuat, penyelarasan yang tajam, dan penguatan melalui pemberdayaan inilah yang pada akhirnya akan mencetak tim inovatif yang tangguh dan mampu memberikan dampak nyata bagi dunia.

Anita Moorjani shouldn't be alive today. On 2006, doctors told her family she had only hours left to live. Her body was riddled with end-stage cancer. She slipped into a coma and was left for dead. But Anita woke up. During the 30 hours her body was shutting down, she experienced a profound near-death experience that revealed a truth she says changed everything. What followed was a miraculous recovery that challenged everything she once believed about illness, healing, and what it means to truly live. In this episode of the Align Podcast, Anita Moorjani shares her near-death experience and the profound lessons that transformed her life. She explains how fear suppresses the immune system, how repressed emotions can manifest as disease, and why “dying before you die” is the only thing that can give you true freedom.

At age 42, I found a lump in my shoulder and was diagnosed with cancer of the lymphatic system, better known as lymphoma. After suffering for four years with cancer and then having a near-death experience (NDE), one of the biggest lessons I learned was that if I had known how to love myself, I probably never would have gotten sick. I discovered that it's everything that is NOT you—the beliefs that have kept you in bondage, and the fear (conscious or not) that dictated your choices, especially the fear of death—that keeps you from living a full-on, authentic, soulful life. It's about returning to your true essence so that you can see how powerful and magnificent you are. It's about chipping away at what is not you. It's about undoing, not doing. I learned that my only purpose in life is to be a full expression of myself. To love myself to the core of my being. And to share my heart and soul with the world without fear. But you don't have to die to come to these realizations. That's why I share my message—to guide others to access this transformational wisdom. =============== ANITA MOORJANI ===============

Getting a product into Walmart isn't just a “great product” problem. It's a buyer problem, a packaging problem, and an inventory cash-flow problem.In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Joe Barron, founder of Gray Matters Games—a family-owned business that designs and publishes family and adult party games sold in thousands of stores worldwide. Joe shares what it really takes to go from a single idea to national retail shelves, including how his team has scaled into major retailers, what they learned the hard way, and why retail is “pressure right out of the gate.”It's a grounded conversation about entrepreneurship, scaling a business, and making better founder decisions when the stakes are real.Q&A-Style Takeaways00:00:00 Introduction00:06:08 How should founders set expectations with friends-and-family investors?A: Align on the real payoff timeline upfront (often at a sale), keep communication tight, and avoid structures that force early cash payouts in a capital-hungry business.00:09:23 What does board game manufacturing look like—and what is MOQ?A: Manufacturing is spec-driven down to materials and colour. MOQ (minimum order quantity) often starts around 1,500–3,000 units, so founders must plan demand, cash, and storage early.00:11:01 What gross margin target makes a physical product business viable?A: Joe targets strong gross margins and uses a simple pricing rule of thumb: MSRP should be roughly 5x cost of goods to leave room for retail and distribution economics.00:14:47 How do you describe a product in 10 seconds so it actually sells?A: Lead with the features and benefits people instantly “get,” not the detailed mechanics. If it can't be explained fast, customers and retailers tune out.00:18:11 How do founders actually get in front of Walmart or Target buyers?A: Find the category buyer through trade shows and relationships, then build a distribution path that helps you show up prepared—because access alone doesn't win the shelf.00:26:40 Is influencer marketing worth it for consumer products—and what's the right approach?A: Yes, when it's relationship-based and volume-based. Launch with a wide creator set, let creators create, then turn proven organic winners into paid ads.00:41:33 What can go wrong with a big retail launch—and how do founders avoid cash trouble?A: Early retail mistakes (packaging, pricing, forecasting) can trigger over-ordering and cash stress. If the first product underperforms, buyers may not want the next one.Watch the full episode to hear the complete conversation and the real-world founder lessons behind getting a product onto major retail shelves.

In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise sits down with "America's factory whisperer," Didi Caldwell, President & CEO of Global Location Strategies, for a candid and strategic conversation about the realities of site selection in today's turbulent environment. Site Selectors Guild With more than two decades guiding large manufacturing and heavy industrial projects, Didi shares insider insight into how companies actually make location decisions — and where communities often fall short. From compressed project timelines to the reshoring debate, from data centers reshaping energy markets to the growing importance of investment-ready sites, this episode is a masterclass in modern economic development strategy. If your community wants to compete — and win — this conversation is essential listening. What You'll Learn The New Reality of Site Selection The world of site selection is more volatile than ever. "Slow is fast — and fast is fraught with mistakes." Companies often fail by not aligning internal stakeholders before launching a search. Falling in love with a location before the data supports it can derail projects. Didi emphasizes a critical principle: "We evaluate proof, not potential." Incentives: Myths vs. Reality Incentives can enhance a strong location — but they cannot fix fatal flaws. Communities have a responsibility to evaluate ROI. The best incentive? A truly investment-ready site. Discipline in underwriting incentives protects long-term community prosperity. "Communities have a responsibility too." Data Centers & the Energy Disruption Data centers are fundamentally reshaping: Energy markets Power pricing Infrastructure planning Community land use As Didi notes: "The power price just went up too high." Communities must proactively manage land planning and infrastructure capacity to avoid crowding out other investment opportunities. U.S Reshoring: Reality or Rhetoric? Reshoring isn't a full return of manufacturing — it's a rebalancing. The U.S. holds competitive advantages in energy costs for capital-intensive industries. High interest rates and tariffs complicate investment decisions. Smaller projects are often easier to site than megaprojects. The key? Understanding where your community truly competes. The Evolution of Virtual Site Visits Virtual tours are now a legitimate step in site selection. Communities must have accurate, organized, and accessible data. Speed matters — but speed without preparation increases risk. "You need to have the right information." Preparing Communities for Investment Successful communities: Know their strengths and weaknesses. Maintain updated site data and infrastructure assessments. Align utilities, workforce, and leadership. Act as problem solvers — not just marketers. "We have to demonstrate we can deliver." Key Takeaways for Economic Developers Investment readiness beats incentive generosity. Discipline beats optimism every time. Long-term thinking outperforms short-term wins. Preparation reduces risk. Speed without diligence leads to costly mistakes. Communities must prove viability — not just promise it. About Didi Didi Caldwell is President and CEO of Global Location Strategies, a world leader in site selection and incentive negotiation services and a two-time honoree on the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies list. She is a member — and former chairperson — of the prestigious Site Selectors Guild and currently serves as Chair of the REDI Sites initiative. Didi holds a bachelor's degree in architecture from Clemson University and an international MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business. With expertise in large-scale manufacturing and heavy industrial projects, she has guided some of the world's most complex location decisions.

The Parallel Reality Engineering Framework Shaun walks through the practical steps he uses when intentionally designing future outcomes. 1. Run the Simulation Imagine a future reality in detail: A new home A promotion A relocation A different financial lifestyle Go beyond the surface and imagine the full experience: Daily routines Responsibilities Trade-offs Emotional impact Ask yourself: Does this future actually light me up? 2. Write It Down Writing forces clarity. Turn imagination into strategy by identifying: What it looks like What it costs What it requires Who you must become This is where the metaphysical meets the physical. 3. Share the Vision When appropriate, bring others into the process. Whether it's a spouse, partner, or family member, shared futures accelerate progress because multiple people begin adapting to the same possibility. Ask yourself: Is this a shared future or just my ego future? 4. Build the Physical Plan Manifestation must eventually meet structure. Create a real-world framework: Budgets Time commitments Travel expectations Lifestyle adjustments When the logistics make sense, the vision becomes real. 5. Accept the Energy Cost Living in multiple potential futures can be exhausting. That's normal. You are expanding your nervous system and preparing for: New responsibilities New identity levels New financial realities Most people quit here because they want instant manifestation. 6. Use Technology as a Tool Modern tools like AI can assist with: Planning scenarios Budget simulations Career mapping Timeline possibilities But technology cannot replace the emotional signal that tells you whether a future truly aligns with you. 7. Release the Timeline The final step is critical. Feel it. Plan it. Align with it. Act toward it. Then detach from when it will happen. Ironically, when you stop forcing the timeline, progress often happens faster. The Warning: Passive Manifesting If you do not intentionally design your future, your subconscious will run the program for you. Often that means replaying: Old fears Scarcity thinking Past limitations People who consistently stack wins often do so because they have trained themselves to focus on possibility, growth, and positive expectation. Final Thought Manifesting should be fun. But it should also require effort. You are not wishing for the future. You are: rehearsing it aligning with it engineering it And when you consistently step into the emotional and physical reality of your next chapter, your future begins organizing itself around you.

How the Customer Journey Evolves with AI Integration    Shep interviews Megan Glasow, Vice President of Salesforce at Perficient. She talks about how companies can use AI to enhance the customer experience by blending technology with human touch, updating outdated processes, and measuring value.    This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What role does AI play in transforming modern customer service processes?  How can companies effectively balance automation and human interaction?  What are the risks of automating outdated or inefficient business processes?  Why is a proactive approach important in delivering excellent customer experiences?  How can organizations measure the value of new customer experience technologies?  Top Takeaways:    Don't automate what Glasow calls “crap processes.” Before layering in AI and other digital tools, organizations must simplify and improve their existing processes. If a workflow is confusing or inefficient to handle manually, automating it will only spread the frustration to employees and customers more quickly.  Transformation is not just about buying new technology. It means sitting down with your customers to understand where they are and where they want to be. It is partnering with your customers to create the vision, the process, and the outcomes together.  Frontline employees are frequently blamed for poor service. But the real issue is often the outdated infrastructure and processes behind them.  In adopting an AI-first strategy, look across the organization and identify where intelligence, automation, and augmentation can improve efficiency, and customer interactions. Successful companies are not replacing people with AI. They are combining smart, AI-powered systems with capable, empathetic employees.   Customers will choose the simplest path every time, whether that's self-service or talking with a real person. If you make it easy for your customers, they will keep coming back.  Use AI as a tool to become more proactive, not just more efficient. Use it to anticipate what customers might need next, so you're ready with solutions before they even ask. This allows human agents to focus on moments that require empathy, creativity, and understanding.   Align your team, from the leadership to the frontlines, around a clear vision for the customer experience you want to deliver. Decide on the experiences you want to create, then mobilize your people and AI to make that a reality.  Plus, Shep and Megan discuss why organizations need to be "customer zero" for new platforms they want to implement for their customers. Tune in!  Quotes:   "When designing your customer journey, consider what should be handled by AI, what should be handled by humans, and how they should work together to enable your employees to provide a more empathetic customer experience."     About:    Megan Glasow is the Vice President of Salesforce at Perficient. With deep experience in the Salesforce ecosystem, she helps organizations drive AI-first transformation initiatives.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

As companies grow, executive escalations are happening more often, and they're costly. These high-stakes customer complaints reveal broken systems, misaligned teams, and gaps in trust.

In this powerful livestream, Kara explores the intense global energy surrounding the March 3 total lunar eclipse and the 3:3 portal, and what it means for our collective consciousness. We are living through extraordinary times. From escalating conflict in the Middle East to widespread cultural and financial instability, many are feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or energetically destabilized. Kara shares reflections on eclipse season, prophetic cycles referenced across indigenous traditions and the Book of Revelation, and the deeper spiritual meaning behind systems appearing to crumble. Rather than remaining in consumer mode or getting lost in chaotic narratives, this episode invites you into conscious creatorship. You'll learn how to: • Understand eclipse energy and collective amplification • Recognize distraction cycles during times of systemic exposure • Align with the highest timeline for you and your family • Anchor 100% pure Source light into physical reality • Move from overwhelm into empowered conscious creation This is a reminder that you are not powerless. Your imagination, your intention, and your connection to higher consciousness are profound tools during times of transformation. As structures shift, we are called to soften the crown, open to divine guidance, and anchor light intentionally into this world. Join me in choosing the highest timeline.

In this sobering and deeply instructive message, Rev. Roland Anang teaches on the protocol of God's presence—what it truly means to worship the King. Worship, he explains, is not merely singing slow songs or shedding tears. It is a posture of the heart expressed through reverence, obedience, discipline, and godly fear. In a generation that often mistakes grace for casualness, this teaching calls believers back to honour, structure, and spiritual awareness in the house of God. From conduct in church to the heart behind prayer, sacrifice, and service, this message reminds us: God must be worshipped the way He has prescribed—not the way we prefer.

Erin's parents didn't put pressure on her to get perfect grades or go to Harvard; they wanted her to use her privilege and beautiful upbringing to make the world a better place. Youngest child syndrome makes you quick. Being the youngest of six, Erin learned to speak very quickly to get her thoughts in at the dinner table, and she was given unsolicited advice her whole childhood (which is why she loves giving advice now). Your siblings' sole job is to keep you grounded. Erin's parents are proud and supportive, but her siblings roast her and beat her down (all in good fun) to keep her as humble as possible. Success is attributed to a sense of humor. Erin gave career advice that was funny, and nobody had ever really seen that before. You don't get that unless you're the slightly bullied youngest of six kids your entire life. Rejection rage is a choice. At a Women in Film networking event, the head of the organization paused Erin's documentary trailer 30 seconds in and said, "You need to be more realistic." Erin went on to get a Pulitzer fellowship and premiered a feature documentary at 23 with international distribution. When you get a rejection, you can either let it beat you down or say, "I'm going to show them." "Tell me about yourself" is the world's worst interview question. It's lazy, not specific, and hard for the interviewee to truncate their entire life into 90 seconds. Use the past-present-future template: 1-2 sentences about your past, 1-2 about your present role, then future (where the interviewer's ears perk up), connecting to why you're applying for this specific role. Specificity is the magic word. When sending cold emails, the chances of getting a good response dramatically increase if you're specific: specific praise, specific question. Instead of "Can I pick your brain over coffee?" say, "I watched your video about X, and when you said Y, it piqued my curiosity." Higher quality questions get higher quality answers. This isn't just for podcasts or job interviews; it's a life skill. Good professional communication is like chess, not checkers. Most people just play checkers (you said this to me, I'm going to say this to you), but chess is thinking 10 steps ahead about what your end goal is and how this person falls along the path to that goal. Don't ask for a raise; ask for an adjustment to your compensation. Your job is transactional (you do work, they pay you). When you accepted your salary, you were doing X, Y, Z. Now you're doing X, Y, Z plus A, B, C. It's no longer an equal partnership, so you need an adjustment. It's not personal, it's just professional. Know your audience and your leverage.  Emotional regulation is powerful communication. If we just act impulsively and say what's on our mind all the time, it doesn't actually get you where you want to go. Always keep your desired outcome in mind. It's about checkmate. Don't just react, think about what the end goal is and how this conversation gets you there. Humanize people, don't make them wrong. That egotistical senior VP is probably actually really insecure about where they are in their career and wakes up every morning not knowing what they're doing. Put your ego to the side. Being a great communicator requires taking a break from thinking about yourself and thinking about what the other person's life is like and what their goals are. Align your goals with their goals. Think about how you can create that authentic relationship by figuring out how your goals align with what they're trying to accomplish. Shut up and listen. We do a little bit too much talking when we're trying to negotiate or strategize. It can be very beneficial to embrace the silence and practice active listening. Curiosity is an amazing way to show love. Being genuinely curious about a person makes them like you, and it becomes more natural the more you do it. Compliments have to be genuine and specific. People are way better at sniffing out fake compliments than you realize. If you can't find one thing you truly admire about someone, don't say anything. Don't make it transactional. When people ask, "How do I not make it feel like I'm using them?" Erin says, "Well, don't use them. Just be genuine." The most loving thing you can do is respect people's time. Meeting bloat has gotten really bad since the pandemic, and a lot of time is disrespected in meetings across the world. Maybe don't have the meeting. A lot of meetings are completely unnecessary, or at least the way they're set up, the people invited, or the way they're run are really inefficient. Only invite crucial people. Make sure that only the people who absolutely need to be there are invited to the meeting. Always have an agenda. At the beginning of every meeting, say "Here are the three things we're going to cover today, and here's the goal of this meeting." Put it in the calendar link with bullet points. Don't have brainstorming meetings. Have meetings with very tangible goals at the end, state them up front, and make sure that goal has been achieved by the end. Email subject lines are underutilized. Erin's dad's company would put tags like "request," "informational," or "command" on subject lines so you knew exactly what type of email it was and what was expected. The exercise of making a five-year plan changes your brain. Erin doesn't believe in sticking to a five-year plan, but the exercise of thinking about the future creates new neural pathways that change the way you think about yourself and your life. A happy life is an intentional life. The vast majority of people float through life and act very reactionary. Sitting down and thinking about what you actually want in five years is powerful self-care. Sit down with your partner and do this together. Before you get married, make five-year plans together. They might look really different (which is revealing) or really similar which doubles down on alignment. Create multiple five-year plans if you're young. If you don't know which path you're going to take, create five different scenarios for yourself and see which one energizes you most. Financial freedom is a goal worth stating. Erin wants to be financially free in the next five years, which allows her to pursue mission-driven work on her own terms. You're just another human trying to figure it out. Even though Erin wrote the book on workplace communication, she's still winging it every day just like everybody else. Combat the knowledge curse by staying connected to real people. When you're an expert in something, it's hard to imagine not being an expert. Erin moved back to Maryland suburbs to experience people working normal corporate jobs, DMs with people daily about their experiences, and gets on free calls just to listen. The data in newsletters tells a different story than people's actual experiences, so she stays grounded by hearing real anecdotes from IT workers in North Carolina or nurses in Kentucky. Set goals really high. Erin wants her startup to help 500,000 job seekers in a year, which is ambitious, but she doesn't care if she fails as long as she tries to reach it.

Think about a difficult conversation you need to have this week. Instead of just reacting to what they say, what's your desired outcome? What would "checkmate" look like, and how can you think 10 steps ahead to get there? Who in your life keeps you humble If no one does, how might you be losing perspective on yourself? What would it look like to invite that kind of honest feedback into your life? Erin recommends making a five-year plan, not to stick to it, but because the exercise creates new neural pathways. When's the last time you sat down and intentionally thought about what you want your life to look like in five years? What's stopping you from doing that this week?

Italian‑born, Canadian‑based writer known for experimental, “free‑flow” prose and poetry. Tony Nesca,https://screamingskullpress.net/https://youtu.be/O2ETEeOijmwTONY NESCA- Blends streetwise grit with musical rhythm and raw emotion. - Rejects mainstream literary polish in favor of instinct and spontaneity—what he calls *“word music.”*Background and Life- Born in Torino, Italy (1965); moved to Canada around age three. - Grew up in Winnipeg, with frequent returns to Italy—developed a bicultural identity that shaped his artistic voice. - Former musician in an original rock band before shifting to writing for a more personal outlet. - Musicianship still informs his writing's rhythm, flow, and improvisational energy.Founding of Screamin' Skull Press- Created in 1994 out of frustration with mainstream publishing rejections. - Run with his wife, writer **Nicole I. Nesca**, as a completely DIY literary team. - Functions like an “indie band” for literature—writing, editing, designing, and distributing everything themselves. - Early days included selling chapbooks from a backpack at local venues. - Has published over a dozen books: novels, short stories, prose‑poetry hybrids.Writing Style and Themes- “Free‑flow” composition—minimally planned, lightly edited, emotionally charged. - Long, musical sentences; spontaneous energy reminiscent of jazz improvisation. - Mixes street‑level realism with dreamlike or surreal elements. - Known for gut emotion, rhythm, and the *sound* of language itself. - Moves between Italian and Canadian settings, working‑class characters, and inner life. - “Junkyard Lucy” exemplifies shifts between gritty realism and lyrical experiment.Influences- Draws inspiration from the **Lost Generation, Beat poets, and rebel songwriters** of the '60s–'70s. - Aligns himself with anti‑formula, emotionally authentic, and risk‑taking artists. - Sees artistic rebellion as central to genuine expression.### Philosophy and Advice to Writers- Rejects trends and market‑chasing; believes art should come from instinct and lived experience. - Encourages writers to “look out your window” instead of chasing genres or approval. - Views editing as potentially destructive to the life within raw, emotional writing. - Writes for truth and rhythm, not for saleability.

Maybe you're not tired.Or broken.Or “too sensitive.”Maybe your energy is just… congested.In the first 5 minutes Joe explains more about the chakras before delving into the full guided meditation. Learn to clear stagnant energy, restore internal alignment, and elevate your physical vitality, emotional clarity, and spiritual connection. Included is an immersive experience, a deeply guided meditation layered with healing Solfeggio frequencies to help regulate the nervous system, harmonize your energy centers, and gently recalibrate your entire being.Drawing from a powerful alignment system first learned through Joe's studies from the Monroe Institute and meditation guide and spiritual medium Suzanne Giesemann, this episode is inspired by those teachings to enhance your natural emanation of Joy, Peace, Strength, Courage, Gratitude, Humility, and Divine Love.This is more than relaxation. It is an intentional energetic reset — a purge of what no longer serves and a recharge of what restores you.What You'll Experience:

MK Ultra expert and survivor Cathy O'Brien returns to expose what the government is still keeping off-limits in the Epstein document release — and why the “disclosure” narrative is designed to stop short of the real system.MK-Ultra was real. Documented. Operational. And Cathy lays out why the remaining Epstein files likely map directly onto trauma-based control mechanisms used to compromise powerful people and protect predators who operate behind institutional shields.This conversation goes straight into the machinery: control through coercion, blackmail, and engineered psychological domination — and why only the implicated keep pretending this isn't real.Despite the darkness, Cathy brings solutions and hope: how to wake up, reclaim sovereignty, heal, and align with what is true.Get Cathy's new book, Align with the Divine, at https://trance-formation.comSee exclusives at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Amazon is an acquisition engine — not a loyalty platform. You will gain reach. You will gain visibility. But Amazon owns the customer relationship — not you.2. Start broad before going branded. City-forward, state-pride, and general baseball apparel can build search velocity and reviews before you launch deeper team SKUs.3.

Creating The Life You Haven't Lived Yet In the last FMQ, I talked about the idea that there's a book inside you. In this episode, I take that idea further. Because here's what I truly believe… You're already writing your life. One page at a time. One day at a time. The question is — are you writing it consciously? In this episode I guide you through a creative visualisation process that helps you: Step out of "life just happening" Stop letting other people write your chapters Feel your future before it physically exists Align your unconscious mind with what you truly want Take one small, powerful step forward This isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about deciding what happens next. And you don't have to be 100% ready. You just have to start. What We Do Together In This Episode I guide you into a relaxed, curious state. You sit at a desk. There's a book in front of you called: My Life, My Adventure. The past chapters are written. You acknowledge them. You thank them. And then… You begin writing the next chapter. Not perfectly. Not dramatically. Just intentionally. You float outside yourself. You see yourself writing. You feel support from the people who care about you. You see yourself through loving eyes. And then you ask one powerful question: What small step can I take now? Because the magic isn't in dreaming. It's in deciding. What I Want You To Take From This You are not stuck. You are not finished. You are not defined by previous chapters. Responsibility is not blame — it's power. Your future starts now. And remember… Even if you do nothing differently today — you're still writing a page. So why not write it on purpose? If This Resonates Subscribe. Share this with someone who needs it. https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/475-creating-the-life-you-havent-lived-yet And take one small step. Have more fun than you can stand. Wallow in pleasure. Shine Brightly

Ever been stuck in a "meh" moment, unsure if it's a yes or a no?

Did you know there is an ancient energy tool that can help you manifest, heal, and even love yourself more? When I tell people that this ancient tool is the rosary, they often say "Isn't that just for Catholics?" That is what I used to think, until I discovered that the rosary pre-dates Christianity and is a powerful practice for anyone who wants to connect with the Great Mother! In this episode, I share not only what the Rosary is, but how ANYONE of any faith can begin to use this powerful tool to connect deeply with the Divine Feminine for manifestation, miracles, healing and more! And if you want to learn how to create your own rosary practice using your own prayers and apply them to ANY situation in your life, check out my brand-new program Magnify Your Prayers – The Metaphysical Rosary Method   Key Learnings: 1) Lent is a time of deepening spiritual practices, and one of the best practices for this time is the rosary! Mother Mary urges us to recite the rosary as often as possible…but how and why? 2) When I read the book The Way of the Rose by Clark Strand and Perdita Finn, I discovered that the practice of reciting a rosary actually pre-dates Christianity! That means it is not a Catholic practice at all. In fact, it is a practice to help you connect with the Great Divine Feminine, especially in the form of Mother Earth! 3) By combining what we now know about Quantum Physics and manifestation with this ancient energy tool, you can learn how to create a rosary prayer practice that works for YOU in any area of your life!   "The Rosary pre-dates Christianity.

In this episode of Develop This!, host Dennis Fraise sits down with Ron Kresha, Chief Financial Officer and founding member of Golden Shovel Agency, to explore the powerful — and often overlooked — role of community airports in economic development. Drawing from his professional expertise and personal passion for aviation, Ron makes a compelling case for why community airports must be viewed not as line-item expenses, but as anchor institutions that drive investment, healthcare access, business recruitment, and long-term growth. From general aviation to essential air service, airport marketing to emerging aviation technology, this episode delivers actionable insights for community and economic development leaders ready to elevate their local airport strategy. 1. Community Airports: Expense or Economic Engine? Ron challenges the common misconception that airports are financial drains. Instead, he reframes them as infrastructure investments that produce measurable ROI through: Business attraction and retention Corporate aviation access Site selection competitiveness Tourism and regional connectivity 2. The Critical Role of General Aviation While commercial flights often dominate the conversation, general aviation is a major contributor to local economies. Corporate aircraft, medical flights, flight training, agricultural aviation, and logistics operations all rely on well-maintained community airports. For many communities, general aviation is the real driver of economic activity. 3. Essential Air Service & Small Community Survival Ron highlights the importance of Essential Air Service (EAS) for rural and smaller communities. Reliable air connectivity supports: Healthcare access Executive travel Talent recruitment Emergency response 4. Airport Marketing & Community Engagement One of the strongest themes of the episode is airport awareness. Many residents — and even local leaders — don't fully understand what their airport contributes. Ron emphasizes proactive airport marketing, storytelling, and community engagement to bridge the knowledge gap. Airports must: Share economic impact data Highlight business users Showcase medical and emergency benefits Build pride and awareness locally 5. Avoiding the Vicious Cycle of Decline Underinvestment leads to reduced usage. Reduced usage leads to funding challenges. Funding challenges lead to further decline. Ron urges communities to: Maintain and modernize infrastructure Pursue airport funding opportunities Treat airports as strategic assets Align airport strategy with broader economic development plans 6. The Future of Aviation Technology Looking ahead, the conversation explores: Autonomous aircraft Advanced air mobility Emerging aviation technologies Increased efficiency in general aviation Communities that prepare now will be positioned to capitalize on the next evolution of aviation. Takeaways for Economic Development Professionals Community airports are anchor institutions — not optional amenities. Investment in airport infrastructure generates long-term economic returns. General aviation plays a larger role in local economies than many realize. Essential air service can determine whether small communities thrive or struggle. Airport engagement and marketing are essential to sustaining funding and support. Education and awareness campaigns can transform public perception. The future of aviation presents new opportunities for proactive communities.

Send a textNeed customers to choose you before they even search? Crystal lays out a simple, gritty playbook for brand acceleration that doesn't rely on massive ad budgets: creative messaging that sticks, social content that compounds, and community presence that earns trust. If your feed is silent, your offers look generic, and your booth shows up empty-handed, this is your reset.We start by reframing branding from logos and wraps to feelings and expectations. Crystal shows how to rename forgettable promos into ownable offers anchored in your story—think a signature checkup named after your mascot or a savings plan with language only your company can claim. Tie colors, taglines, and causes together so every campaign reinforces your identity, not just your price. Then we move to social media—short videos, reels, lives, and stories—where volume and authenticity win. You'll hear why consistency beats polish, how to repurpose your best posts, and what to share about values, team moments, seasonal tips, and community work to build memorability and become a magnet for both customers and talent.Finally, Crystal maps a practical community strategy: show up where your ideal customer gathers with water stations, fun games, QR codes for a monthly newsletter, and a mascot that sparks photos and shares. Align with causes you genuinely support—teachers, veterans, animal rescues—so your presence feels real, not salesy. Run these three lanes together and watch your cost per lead drop as direct calls, branded searches, and referrals rise. It's not flashy; it's focused. It's not about outspending; it's about being unforgettable when urgency hits.If you're ready to turn attention into trust and trust into first calls, hit play, take notes, and start with one move today.
