It was 3:08 in the morning. May of last year. I was in my office already a lofty 8 minutes into my day. Headphones on, speaking (uh, reading) into a microphone… and yelling at ducks. Yes, ducks. As I tried to record a passage for The Zebra Code audiobook, those feathered freeloaders on my backyard lake quacked like it was their job. I must've sounded like a lunatic, hollering “Come on! I need 75 quiet minutes!” But here's the truth… I wasn't just recording an audiobook. I was chasing a big goal that was important to me. Writing a book is one thing. Giving voice to it, putting myself on record, was something else entirely. Big goals aren't really about the thing you achieve. They're about who you become in the pursuit. (In this case, hopefully, not a total lunatic.

Jones interviews Karen Wells about the gift of evangelism - how important it is for us as Christian believers to talk boldly and with God's agape love with others about Jesus and how our faith in Jesus has changed us, no matter how fearful that may feel to us.

She has one daughter, one son, and eight grandchildren.Although Saskatchewan, Canada is her home base, she is presently living a nomadic lifestyle with Simon, asking God to bring them to people to serve, and with whom to share the Gospel.Karen has been living for the Lord for 43 years.

Over the past few months, the economic debate has heated up: the Federal Reserve is weighing the possibility of lowering interest rates, President Trump has already extended corporate tax cuts, and the national debt continues to soar. What does all of this mean for your retirement security? In this episode, we unpack how lower rates could affect everything from your 401(k) and pension returns to the cost of borrowing in retirement. We'll also explore why Trump is pressing for lower rates — arguing it will ease pressure on the ballooning national debt and further stimulate business growth following his extension of corporate tax cuts. But not everyone agrees. Democrats continue to push for raising taxes on the wealthy as their answer to debt and inequality, setting up a stark contrast in economic philosophy. One side wants to grow the economy by slashing taxes and borrowing more cheaply; the other says it's time for the top earners to shoulder the load. As markets, policymakers, and retirees all brace for the Fed's next move, we'll break down the stakes, the politics, and what it means for your financial future.

You've got the skills. You've done the prep. But the moment you walk into the room (or log into Zoom), it's like you're playing a different game. Everything seemed fine when you were doing the work and sailing through the projects. But to articulate that to someone who doesn't know you…ugh. In these cases, your words matter. Your tone matters. And don't even get me started on your posture, your facial expressions, and even how you listen. If you've ever walked away from an interview thinking, I wish they'd seen the real me, this week's lesson is for you. I'm breaking down the exact verbal and nonverbal moves that top candidates use to win over interviewers both in-person and on-screen. Here's what you'll learn: How to project confidence and warmth the second the conversation starts. The posture, gestures, and micro-expressions that build trust. How to use your voice to emphasize your value (without sounding rehearsed). Why “active listening” is your secret weapon in any interview format. Whether you're across the table or on the other side of the screen, these tactics will help you look, sound, and feel like the top candidate every time.

*Air Date: August 27, 2025* *Hosts: Sam Whitfield, @BlameMaxSand, and Mortheous* *Platform: Available Live on KickStreaming & Spotify*In this hard-hitting episode of *The Whitfield Report*, Sam Whitfield teams up with @BlameMaxSand and Mortheous to dissect the chilling anti-Catholic hate and radical transgender influences behind the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on August 27, 2025. The panel delves into the actions of 23-year-old transgender shooter Robin Westman, who identified as a woman and opened fire through church windows during a morning Mass, killing two children—8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and a 10-year-old—and injuring 17 others, including 14 children and three elderly adults. Westman, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, left behind a trail of disturbing writings and social media posts, including reverence for other mass shooters, anti-Semitic rants like "Jew gas" scrawled on weapons, threats to "Kill Donald Trump," calls to "Nuke India" and "Israel Must Fall," and expressions of wanting to "watch children suffer."Focusing on the anti-Catholic elements, the discussion examines why Westman targeted a Catholic church during Mass, suggesting deep-seated hatred toward the faith amid broader societal tensions. They also tackle the radical transgender agenda, highlighting how Westman's identity fits into a pattern of trans-related violence that has sparked national debate, with critics labeling it "trans-terrorism" and pointing to mental health issues amplified by ideological pushes. @BlameMaxSand draws from online community insights on radicalization, while Mortheous critiques cultural and policy enablers. The conversation challenges mainstream narratives, exploring how these elements intersect with gun access, political rhetoric, and calls for reform from figures like Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey.This unflinching dialogue urges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about hate, identity politics, and prevention. All injured children are expected to survive, but the attack's ideological roots demand scrutiny.Tune in live on KickStreaming at https://t.co/kLMENx8AKB or listen later on Spotify.

The "big beautiful bill" that just went into play has sparked both praise and criticism — but what does it really mean for retirees and those approaching retirement? While politicians debate and high-profile voices like Elon Musk warn that this law could widen the deficit and eventually pressure lawmakers to cut spending or raise taxes, supporters argue that reducing taxes puts money back into the pockets of consumers and businesses, fueling growth. Both sides make valid points — but the long-term macroeconomic impact remains unknown. In the shorter term, what matters most to retirees is clear: taxation and income planning. In this week's podcast, we unpack how this complex law affects retirement planning, the pros and cons for your financial future, and what steps you can take to protect your income.

Do you ever feel like you don't have much to offer? Like your experience is ordinary? Obvious? Nothing special? If so, you're not alone. But you are wrong. Today, I'm sharing one of the most important messages I can give you… Your story has value. It matters. It can help someone. The problem is, most people undervalue their experiences because they're consider their experiences in terms of what it means to them…as opposed to what those experiences can mean to someone else! They think, Everyone already knows this. But they don't. There's a huge difference between living a story and sharing it in a way that educates, inspires, and connects. Join me today and you'll learn: ✅ Why your personal story is your greatest asset.✅ How to reshape experiences into meaningful, teachable moments.✅ The 7-step structure to turn any experience into a story that resonates.✅ A pivotal story from my own early career.

There's a career skill no one taught you in school. It's not on your resume. It's rarely on a job description. But it's the difference between being heard and being trusted. Between managing and truly leading. Empathy. And here's the kicker… Most people think they have it. But very few understand what it actually is or how to build it. Today's lesson is one of my most personal. I'll walk you through the three types of empathy (yes, there are three), show you how to practice them, and share a story that changed how I live and love (this WILL bring a smile to your face). If you want to deepen your relationships, earn trust faster, and elevate your career, this one's for you.

This week's a special one. I'm going back to one of the most important lessons I've ever taught. Self-awareness. Not the generic, “journal your feelings” kind. I'm talking about a powerful, real-world framework that shows you where your life is out of alignment. Most people define self-awareness as “knowing yourself.”But there are actually two types: Internal self-awareness: How well do you know who you are? External self-awareness: Do you understand how others perceive you? Both matter. A lot. And most people aren't nearly as accurate as they think. That misalignment causes stress. Bad decisions. Unfulfilling jobs. Relationships that drain instead of energize. In today's lesson, I walk you through the six pillars of self-awareness. It's THE practical way to measure whether your life, work, thoughts, goals, and habits are aligned with the person you say you want to be. This isn't theory. It's a diagnostic.And it's going to help you course-correct in a powerful way. If your inner and outer life feel even a little out of sync… this one's for you.

Have you ever tried to start your day with the best intentions only to have your attention hijacked by email pings, barking dogs, or that mysterious ice maker noise in the kitchen? Yeah. Same. In today's lesson, I'm teaching one of the most underrated (yet powerful) skills for career and life success: how to train your focus like a muscle. And I'm not talking about downloading some shiny productivity app. I'm talking about something deeper and more effective…
We're officially in the second half of the year — and just like in football, halftime is the perfect moment to reassess the game plan and take a strategic pause to evaluate your finances, goals, and risk exposure before the year slips away. Ask yourself: ✔️ What's gone well so far this year—and what hasn't? ✔️ Have your goals, income, or expenses changed since January? ✔️ Are you on track for retirement or just hoping for the best? ✔️ Are you exposed to more risk than you realize as the market shifts? Don't let the second half of the year catch you off guard. Listen in and get practical steps to realign your finances and finish the year strong. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LET'S CONNECT Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: https://www.providencefinancialinc.com Get to know Anthony: https://anthonysaccaro.com Anthony's book: https://morelifethanmoneybook.com Amazon Author Page: https://amazon/author/anthonysaccaro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonySaccaro/featured Radio: https://www.providencefinancialradio.com Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-financial-and-insurance-services-inc-woodland-hills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Providence.FinancialInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnthonySaccaro LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonysaccaro/
Want to think like a high achiever? I've coached thousands of professionals and one pattern is unmistakable. High achievers think differently. It's not about having more time, money, or luck. It's about how they frame challenges, filter distractions, and focus their energy. That's what today's podcast is all about.

“When you and I say we're suffering from stress, we're never really suffering from stress. That's a myth. It's like a unicorn. All right. What we're really struggling with are various problems in our life.” A lot of men think stress and anger are just part of life—stuff you have to manage, suppress, or push through. But what if we've been sold a lie about what those things even are? Stress isn't some disease you catch; it's just a word we slap on real-life problems we haven't solved yet. And anger? That hot, righteous feeling? Turns out, it usually comes from looking at something the wrong way. Dr. Mort Orman breaks down the three mental filters that cause anger—and how to stop falling for them. He shares how your brain quietly convinces you that someone else is to blame, even when that's not the full story. With the right lens, you can stop being hijacked by your emotions and start solving real problems while demonstrating the strength of of your masculinity. Mort Orman's been teaching men how to take control of their emotional lives for over 40 years. He's a physician, author, and probably one of the calmest men alive.

Question for ya… When the interviewer asks you to “tell me about a time when…,” do you: A) Launch into a timeline of tasks you completed? B) Rattle off a list of responsibilities? C) Sound like your own resume? (Oy to the vey.) If so, don't worry. You're not alone. But you are probably leaving value on the table. Here is a capital “T” truth… Most people report work history. Few, if any, tell real stories. Almost no one uses those stories to sell who they truly are. But that's exactly what interview storytelling should be. This week's podcast is one of the most important lessons I can give you on how to elevate your interview game and position yourself as THE standout candidate. Excitement alert: You will squeal with glee if you've ever wondered I'm just a cog in the wheel and my background feels narrow. I'm not sure how to sound valuable or impactful. What you'll learn alert:The real purpose of storytelling in interviews (big hint: it's not just to explain what you did). Why sounding “too junior” is a storytelling issue, not an experience issue. Bulletproof way to reframe your stories so they show off your big-picture thinking and leadership qualities. You're not just there to fill a role. You're there to drive transformation. To show them what's possible when they hire you, you need to…

I know it's tempting. A recruiter emails you with your job offer. You want to reply quickly. Clear things up. Maybe even negotiate. But email is the worst place to have that conversation. Why? Have you ever heard of Albert Mehrabian? He developed “The Mehrabian Rule.” Catchy, yes. But more importantly, true. His rule is also known as the 7-38-55 rule. It suggests, that in communication, the impact of any message is divided into pieces. 7% from the words spoken (or, in your inclination, written). 38% from the tone of your voice. 55% from your body language. Now, I realize you might not have my 9 semesters of higher math I needed to endure at THE Iowa State University to get my rarely-used Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, so let me help you with the calculation. That's 93% of your communication power not at your disposal in an email. When it comes to negotiating your salary, tone, timing, and tactics matter. Plus, the real-time going round-and-round and back-and-forth is somewhat necessary. You basically lose all these necessities when you're using a keyboard! So, what should you do instead? Start by listening to my nifty podcast on Never Negotiate Salary Over Email | Do This Instead. Then do what I teach in the podcast.

Ever felt cornered when a recruiter asks, “What's your expected salary?” Only you and about a bajillion other job seekers. I'm a little sick and tired of silly recruiters cornering you about this.

Lisa asked me a great question the other day. “Coach, how do I know which story to tell in a job interview?” Here's what I told her. If you want to win the interview, there's one thing to focus on. Function. As in, what they actually need you to do. Not who you are. Not how nice you seem.What. You. Can. Do. See, you get hired for WHAT you can do. You get fired for WHO you are. So, here's a quick video to you dial in your focus during the interview. In this shortie (well, Coach Andy's version of shortie), I walk through: What to look for in the job description. How to reverse-engineer your stories. And how to match what you say to the work they need done. Because if they don't believe you can do the thing… You don't get the thing.

Got a job with Verizon by beating out literally 10s of thousands of people. She says so right here in the over 50 section (but I'm wondering if I should create an over 70 section).

We've all had that “Oh no… was I the drama?” moment....Phoenix Ash just made hers public. In this emotionally charged yet soul-nourishing episode of Life as P..., P gets raw about nearly fumbling a real one. From second-guessing a breakup to untangling hormonal hurricanes (hey PCOS, perimenopause....we see you), this episode isn't just self-reflection, it's a full-on emotional audit. There's emotional maturity, real-life receipts, and a deep dive into why we sometimes ghost the good ones… only to realize we might be haunted by our own fears instead. Trust, if you've ever self-sabotaged, this one's going to hit like a delayed text from your ex… except more healing and less chaotic.
Happy Sunday. I know many people are at church right now praying and healing and doing a bunch of other beneficial acts. Need some healing from your job search? Have you ever heard of the “wild horse effect?” Story goes the horses in the African savanna tend to get bitten by bats. The bats draw a miniscule amount of blood, but the horses, because of the minor irritation, go crazy, run around, get exhausted, and basically realize their downfall. All from a tiny little bite that is the equivalent of pinch. I don't think you need a neon sign to get the analogy, but to give you a scoot, the employers are the bats. I've got a little something today to heal those bites so you don't start running around stressed and exhausted… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.
