This episode features a solo session with John Casmon, where he draws on personal investing experience in markets like Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and San Antonio to share a deep-dive framework for evaluating which markets to invest in, and how to spot the signs of long-term growth. From understanding economic indicators and infrastructure to aligning your personal investing style with neighborhood dynamics, this episode is packed with strategic guidance on identifying the right market — and the right moment — to make your move.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Start by investing in your own backyard, local familiarity and access outweigh national trends early on. Use "path of progress" logic to spot adjacent neighborhoods with similar fundamentals but lower prices. Look for population growth, industry diversification, infrastructure investment, and pro-development policies. Understand your own investing goals to determine what kind of markets and submarkets align with your criteria. Ride the coattails of developers and large employers, when they commit to a market, opportunity follows.     Topics Why Market Selection Matters Why investing close to home gives you an advantage How John evaluated neighborhoods like North Center, Avondale, and Hermosa in Chicago Expanding Beyond Your City Lessons from shifting to Cincinnati and using family ties to anchor new market exploration The importance of clarity on investor criteria before analyzing new areas What Makes a Market Attractive Key indicators: population growth, job diversity, geographic accessibility Red flags: rent control, oversupply, misaligned development Case Studies: Cincinnati, Louisville, San Antonio The impact of infrastructure and corridor development in Cincinnati How recession-resistant industries shaped John's decision to invest in Louisville Why San Antonio's "quiet strength" made it a strategic move Using Public Data to Guide You Sites John uses: census.gov, bls.gov, datausa.io How to track local chambers of commerce, development plans, and funding incentives What to Avoid or Watch Closely Risks of relying on government subsidies or unstable funding Importance of local political climate and long-term planning by municipalities

In today's episode, I sit down with Marc Cameron, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to explore one of the most influential (and often overlooked) elements of our emotional lives: attachment styles. Drawing from more than 80 years of research, Marc breaks down how our earliest experiences with our families shape the way we connect, communicate, handle conflict, and relate to the people closest to us well into adulthood. This episode offers a compassionate and scientifically grounded roadmap for understanding yourself and the people you love. Whether you identify as avoidant, anxious, vacillating, disorganized, or relatively secure, you'll walk away with clarity, validation, and practical tools for building healthier patterns of connection. Here is some of what we cover:  Why attachment styles are not personality traits, but relational survival strategies formed early in life Why “secure” doesn't mean perfect; it means the relationship feels predictable and safe most of the time How attachment ruptures can be healed in adulthood through awareness and practice Why the holidays amplify attachment triggers—family roles, old wounds and unresolved expectations How to move toward secure attachment by learning emotional language, practicing repair, and using the comfort circle  Connect with Marc Cameron:  Instagram: How We Love (@howwelovebook) Facebook:  How We Love Website:  How We Love – Discover Your Love Style, Enhance Your Marriage Links Mentioned:   How We Love: By Milan and Kay Yerkovich Understanding Your Attachment Style:By Marc Cameron Love Style Quiz – How We Love Freebies – How We Love Related Episodes: Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 1) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 498] Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 2) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 499] How to Align with Your Spouse in Parenting :: Dr. Kim Kimberling [Ep 491] What Does my Child Need :: Amy and Jeff Olrick [Ep 480] SofM 2024 Featured Sponsors:  Thrive Causemetics:  Complete your holiday look with Thrive Causemetics.

The document lays out Trump's vision for ensuring America's "dominance" in the Western Hemisphere, cultivating "resistance" within Europe, reestablishing "strategic stability" with Russia, and accepting Middle Eastern leaders "as they are." Current and former European officials are already pushing back against the strategy's assertions regarding European alliances and demographics.

The Trump regime has launched a radical overhaul of the U.S. State Department's global human rights report, creating a new political weapon that threatens diplomatic ties and redefines universal human rights principles. This video breaks down the shocking new criteria U.S. officials must use when compiling their annual reports. Policies like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), government subsidies for abortion, and gender-affirming care for children are now being categorized as potential human rights infringements.

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground.Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (& a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you see us careening to the end of 2025 and wondering WTF how we've been living and what, if anything can we change for the better? The following several paragraphs entitled, A Few Final Thoughts, are excerpted from Warren Buffet's Final Shareholder Letter dated 10th November 2025. Click HERE to access the entire letter published as a pdf on the Berkshire Hathaway website.“One perhaps self-serving observation. I'm happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them.Remember Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame, who – reportedly – read his own obituary that was mistakenly printed when his brother died and a newspaper got mixed up. He was horrified at what he read and realized he should change his behavior.Don't count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it.Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it's hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.I write this as one who has been thoughtless countless times and made many mistakes but also became very lucky in learning from some wonderful friends how to behave better (still a long way from perfect, however). Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman.Prompt: What do you make of the notion that greatness is defined not by wealth or power, but by the kindness and help we offer to others in everyday situations? Can you share a personal story that illustrates a moment when you realized a need for change in your behavior, similar to Alfred Nobel's realizations after reading his premature obituary? What helps you live each day in a way that aligns with the values and legacy you'd wish to be remembered for?”A Few Final Thoughts is excerpted from Final Shareholder Letter by Warren Buffet dated 11-10-25You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Most leaders genuinely want a strong relationship with their team, yet day-to-day reality can be messy—especially when performance feels uneven. The trap is thinking "they should change." The breakthrough is realising: you can't change others, but you can change how you think, communicate, and lead.  Why do leaders get annoyed with the "80%" of the team (and what should they do instead)? Because the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) makes it feel like you're paying for effort you're not getting—but the fix is to lead the whole system, not just the stars. In most teams, a smaller group carries a disproportionate chunk of the output, and that can irritate any manager trying to hit targets, KPIs, OKRs, or quarterly numbers.   But treating the "80%" as a problem creates a self-fulfilling spiral: you spend less time with them, they feel it, motivation drops, and performance follows.  In Japan-based teams (and in global teams post-pandemic, with hybrid work and remote collaboration), this spiral gets worse because "relationship temperature" matters. Instead, think like an orchestra conductor: the first violin matters, but the whole section must play in harmony.  Do now: Stop "ranking people in your head" mid-week. Start "designing the system" that helps every player contribute.  Can you actually change your team members' performance or attitude? Not directly—you can't rewire other adults, but you can change the environment you create and the way you show up. The leader move is internal first: adjust your assumptions, your language, your coaching cadence, and your consistency.   In practice, this means you stop waiting for people to become "more like you" and start shaping the conditions where they can succeed. A simple mental shift is accepting that high performers and average performers will always co-exist in any team—Japan, the US, Europe, APAC; startups, SMEs, or multinationals. When you accept the 20/80 reality, you can focus on (1) lifting the 20% even higher and (2) getting strong coordination and reliable contribution from everyone else.  Do now: Identify one attitude you bring to the "middle 60%" that's costing you results—and change that, first.  How do you stop criticism from destroying motivation and trust? By eliminating the "criticise, condemn, complain" reflex and replacing it with coaching language that preserves dignity. Dale Carnegie's human relations principle is blunt for a reason: criticism rarely produces agreement; it produces defence.   And when people feel attacked, they don't improve—they protect themselves, they withdraw, and they tell themselves a story about you. This is especially relevant in Japan, where public correction can trigger loss of face, and in Western contexts where blunt feedback can still backfire if it feels personal rather than behavioural. The point isn't to become "soft." It's to become effective: if the same negative approach keeps producing the same negative reaction, adjust the angle—just a few degrees—so the other person can respond positively.  Do now: Before your next correction, rewrite it as: "Here's what I observed, here's the impact, here's what good looks like next time."  What does "honest, sincere appreciation" look like in a Japanese workplace? It's specific, evidence-based praise—not vague compliments, not flattery, and not silence. Leaders often skip appreciation because they assume "they're paid to do it," then wonder why cooperation is hard.   Yet people are highly sensitive to fake praise, and they'll dismiss it as manipulation.   The fix is to praise something concrete and provable. A practical Japan example is exactly the point: "Suzuki-san, I appreciated the fact you got back to me on time with the information I requested—it helped me meet the deadline. Thank you for your cooperation."   The evidence makes it believable, the detail makes it useful, and the respect makes it repeatable. Do now: Give one piece of appreciation today that includes what, when, and why it mattered—in one sentence.    How do you motivate people who don't seem to care as much as you do? You motivate them by speaking to what they want—because everyone is already focused on their own priorities. If you need cooperation, it's not enough to repeat what you want and when you want it.   Your team member is running their own internal agenda: career security, competence, recognition, flexibility, learning, status, autonomy, or simply a calmer workday. This is where "arouse in the other person an eager want" becomes a leadership skill, not a slogan.   In a Japanese firm, the eager want might be stability and not standing out negatively. In a US startup, it might be speed, ownership, and visibility. Same principle, different cultural packaging. Listen to what comes out of your mouth—if it's all about you, you're making cooperation harder.  Do now: In your next request, add one line: "What would make this easier or more valuable for you?"  What should leaders do this week to strengthen team relationships—fast? Start by changing yourself "three degrees," then run a simple weekly rhythm that rebuilds trust, clarity, and contribution. If you keep approaching lower performers negatively, you'll keep getting the same negative reaction; change your approach first.   Then operationalise it—because intention without behaviour is just theatre. Here's a tight relationship-strengthening checklist you can run in any context (Japan HQ, regional APAC office, or global remote team): Weekly habit What you do Why it works 2x short 1:1s Ask: "What's blocking you?" Shows support, surfaces friction 1 evidence-based praise Specific + concrete Builds motivation without fluff  2021.10.11 GEO Version How Lead… 1 "eager want" question "What do you want from this?" Aligns incentives  2021.10.11 GEO Version How Lead… 1 criticism detox Remove complain/condemn Prevents defensive behaviour  2021.10.11 GEO Version How Lead… Do now: Pick one person you've mentally labelled "difficult" and change your next interaction by three degrees—more curiosity, more respect, more clarity.  Conclusion If you want stronger relationships, stop waiting for people to become easier to lead. You'll get better results by starting with what you control: your mindset, your communication habits, and your consistency. The leaders who do that build better teams; the leaders who don't keep complaining—and they're never short of company.  Next steps (quick actions) Replace one critical comment with one coaching request this week.  Deliver one evidence-based appreciation per day for five days.  In every request, add one line that links to what the other person wants.  Track who you spend time with—ensure the "80%" aren't getting frozen out.  FAQs Yes—high performers still need active leadership, not neglect. Keep lifting the 20% higher while systemising support for everyone else.  No—praise isn't "un-Japanese" if it's precise and evidence-based. Specific appreciation is usually accepted because it's verifiable and respectful.  Yes—criticism can be useful, but condemn-and-complain feedback usually backfires. People defend themselves; improvement requires clarity without attack.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

When was the last time you felt a sinking feeling just thinking about money? For many, money is far more than just numbers in a bank account—it's tangled up with our emotions, childhood experiences, and even our closest relationships. All too often, conversations around money get swept under the rug, leaving us to battle our financial stress and shame alone. But what if unraveling these hidden money wounds is the key to building stronger connections—with ourselves and with others? In this episode, listeners are invited to reimagine their relationship with money and begin addressing the emotional baggage attached to it. Through relatable stories and practical examples, this conversation explores how early money memories shape our beliefs and behaviors, and impact how we communicate with partners, friends, and even our kids. You'll learn actionable steps to identify your own "money story," bridge differences in financial perspectives, and move from feelings of shame or avoidance to a place of security and mutual understanding. If you're ready to make money a tool for connection rather than conflict, this episode offers a roadmap for transforming anxiety into empowerment.

Identify your and your partner's "money personality" (saver, spender, hoarder, YOLO) to better understand differences in financial habits. Practice vulnerability by sharing concerns or challenges related to money to strengthen intimacy and support. Set a realistic number that feels comfortable for your checking account and use it as your "zero" baseline.

Alex is an AI recruiter that autonomously handles phone screens, video interviews, and candidate communications at scale for enterprise talent teams and staffing firms. The company rebranded from Apriora after acquiring alex.com for over half a million dollars—a brand investment that immediately increased word-of-mouth referrals and inbound pipeline. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Aaron Wang, Co-Founder & CEO of Alex, to discuss achieving seven figures in revenue through founder-led sales in staffing, their "respectful zagging" approach to standing out in a crowded AI agent market, and building toward network effects that could fundamentally reshape talent matching. Topics Discussed Justifying a $500K+ domain acquisition to co-founders and investors Building candidate experience that drives engagement rather than rejection Design decisions around AI avatars versus voice-only interactions Differentiation strategy in marketing: zagging without rage baiting Hiring framework based on incentive understanding and first-principles thinking Market segmentation between staffing firms and corporate TA teams Long-term platform vision leveraging cross-company recruiting data GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Quantify intangible asset ROI through pipeline metrics, not brand sentiment: Aaron defended the $500K+ alex.com purchase by tracking "huge increase in word of mouth and inbound, which is obviously directly measurable." The previous name Apriora created friction in sharing and referrals. With enterprise contract sizes, removing pronunciation and memorability barriers has concrete pipeline impact. The domain also functions as a balance sheet asset. Founders should evaluate premium domains against customer acquisition cost and deal velocity, not abstract brand value. Extract vertical-specific insights before horizontal expansion: Alex reached seven figures in staffing revenue exclusively through founder-led sales before entering corporate TA. Aaron noted they had "a few key insights into what made staffing particularly relevant as a market." This concentrated approach allowed them to refine product-market fit and build referenceable customers in one segment. Only after achieving clear traction did they expand strategically to corporate TA. Founders should resist premature market expansion—depth in one vertical provides the learnings needed for successful adjacency moves. Structure interviews to surface first-principles thinking across functions: Aaron described having A-player marketers conduct first rounds, then A-player engineers conduct second rounds for the same candidate. This cross-functional approach tests whether candidates can operate from first principles rather than just applying domain playbooks. The key insight: "A players want to work with A players and A players can identify A players. A B player can't identify an A player." Founders should design interview loops that reveal foundational reasoning ability, not just functional competence. Hire for incentive mapping ability over category experience: Exceptional marketers understand "what is incentivizing someone to share or post or like" and how to create mindshare. Aaron emphasized this matters more than HR tech background, citing Vinod Khosla's gene pool engineering concept. You need domain expertise somewhere in the company, but hiring everyone for it dilutes your ability to think differently. Founders should prioritize candidates who demonstrate deep understanding of human incentives and can identify non-obvious differentiation opportunities. Align brand aesthetic with product philosophy to reinforce positioning: Alex deliberately avoided human avatars, choosing nature imagery and green color schemes to make AI feel "grounded" rather than "abstract." This extends their product belief that "bad AI is worse than no AI"—the brand needed to signal reliability and familiarity. Aaron explicitly contrasted this with rage baiting tactics: "not something we're interested in doing." Founders should ensure visual identity and messaging tactics authentically reflect product values rather than chasing engagement metrics that misalign with positioning. Map product roadmap by studying adjacent verticals with faster adoption curves: When discussing category, Aaron compared Alex to Harvey rather than interview intelligence tools. He noted HR tech "tends to lag others" in technology uptake, making legal AI a better predictive model. Just as Harvey expanded from document review to email automation to client portals, Alex views phone screening as "one important, but only one portion of what a recruiter does today." Founders in slower-adopting categories should analyze product evolution in faster-moving verticals to anticipate feature expansion and avoid getting boxed into point solution positioning. //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Skip the checkbox mindset—this conversation shows how performance design becomes real when specs, codes, QA, and sustainability pull in the same direction. We sit down with Rachel Spiers, Associate Principal and Performance Design and Quality Manager at BWBR, to unpack a practice that moves beyond “less bad” and aims for regenerative outcomes. From office master specifications aligned with the AIA Materials Pledge to code updates that raise the industry floor, Rachel shares a playbook for teams who want better buildings without ballooning cost or schedule.We walk through the nuts and bolts of integrating a sustainability lens into design development and construction document QA, capturing metrics like energy use intensity and lighting power density, and laying groundwork to review daylighting, embodied carbon, and operational carbon. You'll hear how a performance baseline meeting at project kickoff creates shared targets, builds sustainability muscle memory, and turns intent into habits that survive the messiness of delivery. Along the way, specs stop being paperwork and become the engine room where healthier materials and lower-carbon choices quietly upgrade every project.What stands out most is the human side: coaching teams through code changes, celebrating wins when designers bring solid code research, and watching colleagues earn credentials and confidence. If you care about design excellence, product health, resilience, and measurable performance, this is a field guide to making it stick—one smarter default and one aligned review at a time.

There's a reason female orgasm is still so misunderstood... and Dr. Robert King is here to explain why. In this episode, Dr. King unpacks the evolutionary purpose of female orgasm, what scent reveals about sexual compatibility, and why most people misunderstand female pleasure. From the truth about pheromones to the science of squirting and the psychology of mate selection, this conversation challenges long-held myths with real research and insight.OUR GUESTDr Robert King is a lecturer at University College Cork (Ireland) where he co-runs the Master's Course in Mental Health. His lab has PhDs and others studying access to health care in trans populations, and Spree Killers. He has a recent book out called Naturally Selective, Evolution, Orgasm and Female Choice, which synthesizes and explains the last fifty years of research (including his own) into fertility related functions of female orgasm, much of which has been woefully misrepresented.DR.

The fall-to-winter season can feel overwhelming, with demands from work, family, and holiday preparations stacking up quickly. Psalm 127:1-2 reminds us that anything built without God’s guidance is in vain and that true rest is a gift from Him. By intentionally seeking His direction, setting boundaries, and taking meaningful breaks, we can cultivate a peaceful heart even in the busiest months of the year. Highlights God calls us to involve Him in all our work; without Him, our efforts are “in vain” (Psalm 127:1). Seek His guidance early, not just when life becomes overwhelming. Establish clear personal and professional boundaries to prevent burnout. Take intentional breaks during the busy season to rest, reflect, and refocus on God. Align your work and daily routines with God’s purposes to find true peace amidst busyness. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: How to Have a Peaceful Heart in a Busy Season By Aaron D’Anthony Brown Bible Reading:“Unless the Lord builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the Lord watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain. In vain you get up early and stay up late, working hard to have enough food — yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.” (Psalm 127:1-2, CSB) There’s something about the months of September to December that just seem to fly by. Blame the anxiety of school starting or the anticipation of Christmas, but something about the fall-to-winter season makes time seem to fast-forward for everybody! What is also true is that this time of year often brings out the worst in us busybodies, and the usually not-so-busybodies. We toil day and night performing favors, working longer hours for more money, stressing out about getting the right gifts or preparing the right food. We want everything to go right, while at the same time, neglecting our faith, health, and overall well-being. Don’t get me wrong. Work can be useful. Work is a venue for honoring God, serving others, distracting us from sin, and accomplishing good in the world. Faith without works is dead after all (James 2:14-17). That being said, while keeping ourselves busy with work can be productive, there’s an emphasis on can. Are we wise enough to know when work turns from a benefit to a disadvantage? If we’re being honest, usually not. The work we do, whatever that work is, should honor God. As Scripture tells us, anything we build without the Lord is built “in vain.” If we’re going about our busy season and have lost all semblance of peace, then we need to take a step back. Chances are, we’re not honoring God, and much of what we do is being done in vain. Intersecting Faith & Life: If you’re the sort of busybody that gets bogged down somewhere between September and December or all of it, then know you don’t have to stay as you are. You’re not stuck in endless toil and unrest. In fact, there are a few ways to ensure you have a peaceful heart during a busy season: Seek direction from the Lord. Scripture makes clear that we ought to seek God in all that we do. Whatever is done without Him is done “in vain.” We understand this when our backs are against the wall or we hit rock bottom. Then we want nothing but the Lord. However, when life is swell, work doesn’t feel so bad. Rather than wait for the craziness to eat the fan, seek God well in advance. Ask Him for what’s appropriate to do and how to best honor Him. Yes, God enjoys productivity, but putting our work above all else is sinful. Yes, God wants us to serve others, but He doesn’t want us to become so exhausted that we are bitter and angry toward those we wish to serve. By seeking God first, we’ll know how much busyness is good. We’ll have the wisdom to know what to do and how to do it. This will help with time management, navigating relationships, keeping our eyes on Jesus, and so much more. Set boundaries with yourself and others. Sometimes we overextend because we don’t know our limitations, and those who request of us don’t know our limitations either. If you want to find peace amidst busyness, you must set boundaries. That means setting aside time for work and rest, a time to spend in solitude with God, and a time to be among people. If you’re unsure what boundaries should look like, consider consulting someone who practices good boundaries. You may think having limits will hurt you during the busy season. On the contrary, the more rest you have and the better your performance, because you have more energy and mental clarity. Take a break from your toils. You might claim you already know this. You may say you don’t want to hear it again, but someone has to remind you. There is a time for work and a time for rest. Make sure at some point during the busy season, multiple points actually, you take a break from your toils. Find something to do, even by yourself, that feels more like comfort than work. That could mean going for a walk in the park, journaling, reading a book, drawing, or simply praying. Whatever you do, keep your eyes fixed on God. Then nothing you do will be done in vain.

Maximising Your Website Presence – Should Counselling Students Pay for a Placement? In Episode 357 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in 'Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we discuss what to do when your usual supervisor isn't available. In planning for alternative supervision cover, we explore how to ensure you stay ethical and supported during supervisor absences. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Daragh Mac Loughlin from WebHealer about how to maximise your website presence and build a joined-up online identity across web and social platforms. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken address a hot topic - should counselling students pay for a placement? With insight from Paul Cullen, they look at fairness, value for money, and what to consider if faced with this scenario. Planning for Alternative Supervision Cover [starts at 03:33 mins] Having a backup plan for supervision is crucial - this segment explores how to stay compliant, safe, and client-focused when your supervisor is unexpectedly absent. As part of planning for alternative supervision cover, it's important to know where to turn if you suddenly need short-term or emergency support. You are ethically required to maintain regular supervision, even during supervisor absences. Consider forming a plan ahead of time for temporary, short-term, or emergency supervision cover. Replacement supervisors should match your client group, modality, and level of risk. Peer consultations can be useful for support, but do not replace formal supervision. Review your ethical body's rules - students especially must ensure their hours are counted. For counsellors looking for reliable supervision options — including temporary or emergency cover — you can explore a directory of qualified online supervisors at Counselling Tutor's Supervisor Directory Maximising Your Website Presence [starts at 31:42 mins] Daragh Mac Loughlin from WebHealer shares expert tips for creating a strong, connected online presence that builds trust and converts browsers into clients. First impressions count - use a clear, current photo and accessible language to build trust. Align your website and social platforms to create a consistent and professional digital identity. Keep your website fresh with long-form content, updates, and CPD reflections. Use short-form social media posts to lead traffic to your more in-depth website content. Monitor performance with tools like Microsoft Clarity to track user behaviour and optimise engagement. Treat your website as a living tool, not a one-time setup - invest time in nurturing it. Should Counselling Students Pay for a Placement? [starts at 57:41 mins] This contentious issue is explored with input from Paul Cullen - looking at whether charging for placements is fair, ethical, or ever appropriate. Some charities ask students to pay fees to cover clinical leads or provide additional training. Students should ask what's included - DBS checks, supervision, insurance, or CPD. Placements should offer proper triage to allocate clients within a student's competency. Be mindful that fees could exclude passionate students without financial means. Students are assets, bringing enthusiasm and current theory - placements also benefit from them. Always check the value of what's offered and weigh up if it supports your learning journey.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to George Truesdale from Cocoa Beach, FL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 14:19-20 And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck down thirty men of the town and took their spoil and gave the garments to those who had told the riddle. In hot anger he went back to his father's house. And Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man. — Judges 14:19-20 Samson is furious. He's lost his bet, been manipulated by his wife, and humiliated in front of his enemies. In rage, he storms down to Ashkelon and kills thirty men to settle the score. And here's the shocking part—the Spirit of the Lord rushes upon him. This is where it gets tricky. God still used Samson's actions to confront Israel's enemies. But Samson's heart was in the wrong place—driven by anger, not obedience. He would confuse God's power with God's approval. Just because God uses you doesn't mean he approves of how you're living. This is a hard pill to swallow. A sermon can land even if the preacher's hiding sin. A business deal can succeed even if corners were cut. A gift can look fruitful while the heart is far from God. Power and results don't always equal God's pleasure. Samson's story warns us—God's calling is irrevocable, but his approval rests on obedience. His Spirit may still work, but sin always leaves wreckage. Samson was used by God, yet left broken, angry, and estranged. Don't mistake God's patience for permission or his power for a green light. What he wants most isn't just results—it's your heart. ASK THIS: Where have you been tempted to measure God's approval by your success? Is there an area of your life where you're "winning" but not obeying? What's one area you need to realign with God's will today? DO THIS: Identify one place in your life where results have blinded you to disobedience. Confess it to God in prayer. Commit one act of obedience this week that costs you something but honors God. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You that You still work through weak and broken people like me. Keep me from confusing Your power with Your approval. Align my heart with Yours so that my life brings You pleasure, not just results. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Heart of Worship."

Hans Lagerweij is the author of The Why Whisperer: How to Motivate and Align Teams That Get Your Strategy Done. In this episode, Hans shares that he wrote the book after watching great strategies fail during execution. He saw a gap between understanding the importance of purpose and actually implementing it. Hans explains that you can't shout your way to purpose. Whispering requires getting close to your team and having two-way conversations. He emphasizes that leaders need to listen to personal motivations and ideas from team members. Hans presents three options when there's misalignment between personal and organizational purpose: change your personal why, take leadership to influence the organizational why, or leave. Listen to this episode to learn how to move your organization's purpose from theory into practice. You can find episode 487 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Hans Lagerweij on Three Ways to Motivate Teams and Align Strategy https://bit.ly/TLP-487 Key Takeaways [03:06] Hans reveals his first job at 15 was in a DIY store managing screws and tools, sparking his commercial curiosity. [05:04] Hans explains the "Why Whisperer" addresses the gap between Simon Sinek's purpose theory and practical implementation. [06:25] Hans attributes strategy failure to lack of discipline in communicating and aligning teams, not discipline itself. [07:06] Hans explains whispering means close two-way conversations with teams rather than top-down broadcasting. [10:37] Hans outlines three options for misaligned purposes: change your why, influence the organization's why, or leave. [15:35] Hans talks about clarifying the why and how that helps simplify decision making for leaders. [19:18] Hans recommends asking team members what makes them most proud to understand what drives them. [20:53] Hans introduces the "reverse elevator pitch" where leaders articulate direction, importance, and excitement in three minutes. [22:30] Hans explains "purpose" is universal across cultures but requires different communication approaches depending on cultural norms. [27:47] Hans challenges leaders to move "purpose" from wall posters into the organization's heartbeat. [28:50] And remember…"The louder the world becomes, the more radical it is to whisper truths. Not to be heard by all — but to be remembered by someone" - Lawrence Nault Quotable Quotes "You can't shout your way to purpose." " Whispering means you need to be so close with your team to have actually a conversation, a two way conversation and you know, to listen to ideas and personal motivations from your team. So yeah, it's really whispering to me is, you know, about getting people to own the why, not just follow it. So it is seriously going from a beautiful slogan on the wall to something that is, you know, in the hearts and minds. " "A clear purpose really helps, you know, to reduce options. Choices from a million to just a few right ones." "A clear purpose absolutely will save your time, will, you know, set your directions. As I said, it's your North Star." "Purpose is absolutely universal language, but, you know, you have to speak it in different accents." "In the end, the most powerful strategy is the one that your team believes in and that they're willing to fight for." "If there is a conflict between the two, if there's disconnect, it will always feel like misalignment. It will always feel like, you know, you're not at the place in that organization." "If you can synchronize individual and organizational purposes, you know, or wise, you know, then you create an authentic connection that really drives results." "In every culture, in every country, you know, people want to feel a sense of purpose. I think it's simply a fundamental human need."

What if the burnout, overwhelm, and self-sacrifice so many women carry isn't personal failure, but evidence of a system that was never designed for them? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Melissa Sonners, Women's Mind-Body Alignment Expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 783, to reveal why women aren't meant to live in the constant grind, why true feminine power lives in being instead of doing, and how self-care, intuition, and cyclical alignment can rebuild a woman's health from the inside out.
