Travis Albanesius is back on the pod as we continue our Mentorship Series for the month of September. Last week we defined mentorship as the influence, guidance or direction given by a mentor or teacher given to a protege. Right before Jesus ascended back to heaven he looked at His disciples and said, “Go and make disciples.” The world needs more Christian mentors. This week we are going to talk about the key to being a great mentor. Here is the key, if you want to be a great mentor, first you have to be a great protege. Before Jesus' disciples were called to go out and make disciples on their own, they followed and learned from Jesus for 2-3 years. They needed to be sharpened and prepared, and we are no different. Being a great protege takes work, it takes being committed. If we could see the potential fruit that it could bear in our lives, we would be all in! You can be a great godly mentor, but first you have to be a great protege. Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Google Podcasts and many more!

From Houston, Texas, to Tokyo, Japan, Harry Maurer has done it all. It is hard to say if he is best known as a cruise ship magician as he does (or has done) so many things and done them all to perfection. When he is not at sea, he is busy booking himself and his lovely wife, Carol Anne, in clubs, casinos, banquet rooms and theaters across the U.S. It is rare to find him at home where we caught him for this special episode. Although this week's episode is entitled, “Life on the Deep Blue Sea,” where Harry talks at length about his cruising experiences over the years, he also talks about performing in Las Vegas with Joey Bishop (one of the original members of the Rat Pack), entertaining at the Playboy Club, experiences on and off stage with notable celebrities and celebrated magicians.

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast and Happy Labor Day! I'm trying to squeeze in the last of summer this weekend before 2 of my kids start school tomorrow, and I'm happy that you're here with me, when you should be just relaxing…seriously, what are you doing here?! Shut this off and go back to bed, binge on netflix, go to the pool, or do whatever relaxes and refreshes you today!  I'm your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing over $340 million in client assets.  On this podcast, I cover everything from investing, to retirement spending, to taxes in retirement in just a few minutes each day, so if you're 5-10 years on either side of retirement, and looking for some daily doses of retirement planning wisdom, stick around this week as I talk about: Biggest retiree regrets. I think about regret a lot. I worry that I'll look back on the years that I had little kids and that I didn't do enough with them and for them or that I'll mess them up somehow. I'm fearful that I'll regret the choices I made, what my priorities were, and how I spent my time. Life is a gift, and my children are all a precious gift to me and I worry that I'll waste those gifts focusing on the wrong things. I think most of that worry comes from how I'm wired and my personality traits, and being perhaps overly concerned about the future.  If you're planning for retirement, though, I think it's helpful to learn from people who have walked before you in retirement…what did they do right? What did they do wrong and what would they change or do differently if they could go back in time?  So this week, I'll talk about some of the top regrets from retirees about money, relationships, health, finding fulfillment, and using your time wisely. That's it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow…where I'll share with you  My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast. ---------- >>> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP   >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Visit the podcast page: https://truenorthra.com/podcast/  ---------- Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance

As Christian men, we all recognize an important need to raise up Christian leaders. We as followers of Christ are called to be intentional about mentorship. Raising up leaders takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of energy and it takes a lot of effort. We are busy doing a lot of really good things, but we are not intentional at doing the very best things. What we choose to be intentional about says a lot about who we are. What are the top 2-3 things that you are intentional about right now?

Justin Watkins is back on the pod as dive into Week 3 of our Fitness & Health Series. Last week we talked about how to start your fitness journey and provided some practical first steps. Remember, it's important to focus on the physical part of your fitness journey, but do not neglect the spiritual, emotional and mental components as well. Today I want to talk to the guy who is already on the climb of his fitness journey, maybe on the mountain just above the tree line. You've been committed to some new fitness routines for a season or two. This part of the climb is beyond the early stage of working through those pressing pain points of your initial goals and health needs. Remember, it takes at least 90 days of consistency in a habit or routine before you should be evaluating the progress. At this point, your fitness efforts are becoming a more natural part of who you are, rather than something you're striving to do. This is going from, “I want to work out” to having a mindset of, “I am a person who works out,” So we are at the pitch of the mountain, and you're here to pause for a bit and assess the journey. Here are 3 reasons why: #1 - You are now ready and need to go deeper into the spiritual and emotional dynamics related to your fitness journey #2 - You need to look back down the mountain and celebrate the progress you've made #3 - Perhaps the climb is getting weary and you need to check off those first two reasons in order to refocus your vision and refresh your energy to get moving "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Google Podcasts and many more! Subscribe, listen and share!

Justin Watkins is back on the pod as we continue our focus on fitness and why fitness matters in regard to our faith. Your fitness journey is a command and a responsibility to honor the Holy Spirit. It is more than just going to the gym and losing a few pounds. What are the pain points that you have as you look up the mountain of your fitness journey. Maybe you are at the beginning of your fitness journey or it's gotten off course? You can't keep neglecting your physical body and not expect it to impact the rest of your life. God can use your paint points to get you started in the right direction. Here are four practical steps for your fitness journey: #1 - Small steps and SMART goals  #2 - Climb with others  #3 - Celebrate often #4 - Keep climbing on  "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Google Podcasts and many more! Subscribe, listen and share!

Justin Watkins joins the pod for the month of August as we shift our focus to fitness and why fitness matters in regard to our faith. "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Paul is making the point that the choices you make with your physical body have a direct impact on your intimacy with God. There is no distinction between what I do physically and what I do spiritually. Men, God's Spirit lives in you. To teach you about who He is and transform you. Fitness is taking care of the Temple of the Holy Spirit, both inside and outside. We are trusted with the gift of our physical bodies in order to bring God glory. This is why fitness matters!

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host Ashley Micciche, and I'm still on a summer hiatus, but I have another free resource for you this week: An under-the-hood portfolio analysis. An under the hood portfolio analysis will look under the hood of your portfolio, showing you how your portfolio is allocated among stocks, bonds, and cash; how much you have invested in each sector like tech and healthcare, and how well diversified your portfolio is across different regions as well. The analysis will even show concentrations in your portfolio of your top 10 stock holdings in your various investment holdings.  You'll receive a portfolio analysis report, as well as some expert insight from yours truly on how you can improve your portfolio, and any red flags that I see which could derail your investment portfolio.  The analysis is free & confidential with no strings attached.  If you'd like an under-the-hood portfolio analysis report, you can get started by sending me an email: ashleym@truenorthra.com. I'll send you instructions and an access link to a secure folder so you can send me what's needed to send you the report and analysis.  Again that's ashleym@truenorthra.com.  I will be back with new episodes on August 28th, but in the meantime, enjoy these free resources that I'll be continuing to roll out on Mondays until then.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening! I hope you have a blessed week!  ---------- >>> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Visit the podcast page: https://truenorthra.com/podcast/  ---------- Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance

Tony Galati is back on the pod for EP. 181 as he closes out our podcast series on marriage and relationships. The last two weeks we gave you guys "Tools For a Healthy Marriage" and this week we provide you with some resources to help you as well. Remember men, if your marriage is more important than your walk with God that's YOUR problem. It all starts with God. A healthy relationship with God means a healthy marriage. “Why don't we trust the God of the universe when we are going through difficulties, like an unhealthy marriage?" - Tony Galati If you are interested in learning more about mentorship and how you can take your next step, visit menofiron.org Tony joined the Men of Iron team in August of 2022 as our Iron Rep in Lancaster, PA and the surrounding region. Tony and his wife Olga live in Lancaster and have two sons, Anthony, and Pedro. Tony is a graduate of Lancaster Bible College with a degree in Biblical Studies and Counseling. “God instilled in me a passion to help others from a young age. However, I spent the early years of my life bouncing between halfhearted commitments and living in pure rebellion. I am grateful for God's grace, mercy, love and forgiveness. I have allowed God to take my regrets and use them as opportunities to help others as I am able to relate to many of the issues men face today. I also have a deep passion to help men who are walking through difficult marriages. God has truly blessed me with my position at Men of Iron and I humbly and thankfully choose to  be used as a vessel for Him.” Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Google Podcasts and many more! Subscribe, listen and share! Regardless of where you are in your journey, we have the tools and experiences for you. We provide one-to-one mentorship, small group, and retreat curriculum. To know God is an adventure, and we are calling all men to conquer the mountain ahead of us. It's time to climb! MENOFIRON.ORG/THECLIMB

Magicians have a long-standing reputation being on the leading edge of science and technology. After the television became a household item, several magicians found a home on air where they increased their visibility and spread joy to millions of viewers. Although some were able to parlay their local TV appearances to the national networks, most were content to be big fishes in small ponds. Buddy Farnan was one such magician who was well-known as a TV celebrity magician in a regional area. Buddy was the general manager of Funtown in Atlanta, Georgia, and a leading magician on a fledgling TV channel owned by Ted Turner. He later moved to Buffalo, New York, where he became known on local TV there as Buckskin Joe. All of this began in the early 1960's and continued for many years. Now at age 89, Buddy looks back at his illustrious career. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize On this week's episode, Buddy Farnan talks about his roots in early television and some of the many celebrities we know still today. He chats candidly about his TV studio work as a magician and tells a few stories about the joy he spread to children as the magician from Funtown in Atlanta then later as Buckskin Joe.
