    On episode 1210 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr and Melodie Aikels celebrate the announcement that Jamey Giddens and Dan O'Connor have been named the co-head writers of The Young and the Restless, replacing Josh Griffith.  In this supersized episode Luke and Melodie reflect on Jamey's 20 year arc, first appearing on the podcast as the "soap historian" and how his Wishful Castings on the podcast and blog were inspired by his creativity, knowledge and love for the genre. The two talk about how his pursuing his writing career with creating Ambitions, being apart of the writing teams at Days of Our Lives and Beyond the Gates has culminated in Giddens becoming the first black male-co headwriter in soap opera history.  The two delve into the many things that need to be fixed in Genoa City from the the core families (Abbotts, Newmans, Chancelor/Winters) to undoing Griffith's legacy of destruction. The two share what they are looking forward to most about Jamey and Dan taking over, while at the same time discussing the reality of what co-head writers can actually control on a soap opera.  After the hour long Y&R discussion, the duo delve into The Bold and the Beautiful. Melodie is loving the drama unfolding on B&B. Luke and Melodie degate whether Brad Bell should bring Amber Moore back and how she could be reintroduced since she has connections to so many characters.  Luke is estatic over Alison Sweeney and Christie Clark returning to Days of Our Lives. But these two TV sisters aren't the only ones returning, so are Chandler Massey and Bryan Dattilo. Melodie grudgingly admits Luke was right about Lexie's return from the very beginning.  General Hospital recast the character of Ethan only to immediately ship the character out of Port Charles.  Hayley is being written into a corner on Beyond the Gates and there aren't many ways for the writers to get her out of the aspiring black widow character. Could Hayley end up working for Vanessa once her dastardly deeds are discovered?  All this and more on this nearly two-hour episode of Daytime Confidential!

    How to Choose a Side Hustle That Can Replace Your Salary With the Founders of Entreprenista

    If you've ever caught yourself calling your side hustle "just a little passion project" while secretly wondering if it could be your next thing—this episode is your permission slip. Amanda Goetz sits down with Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer, co-founders of Entreprenista, who quit their corporate jobs on the same day back in 2012 with zero investors, zero business plan, and one very clear number: $4,000 a month each, just to break even. Fourteen years later, they've built a +3,500-member community, scaled an agency to eight figures in cumulative revenue, and helped women found and grow thousands of businesses. We cover how they knew it was time to go all in, the real difference between a hobby and a business, whether (and when) to tell your boss about your side hustle, and why community (not funding) is what actually got them to seven figures. Key takeaways You don't need a grand plan to quit your job—you need a number: Stephanie and Courtney calculated the bare minimum they each needed to survive and used that as their revenue goal before walking away from corporate. Stephanie's litmus test: if you're already making money, you have the start of a business. But turning a hobby into a business isn't automatically the right move. Never burn a bridge, and give yourself a real timeline before walking away from a job (they gave themselves three months to prove it could work). The single biggest driver of their early growth wasn't a funding round or a growth hack. It was showing up to one random networking group and actually building relationships there. Comparing your timeline, your funding, or your exit to what you see on Instagram is a fast way to lose sight of the business you actually want to build. Both Stephanie and Courtney say if they were starting a business today, they'd go all-in on learning AI.  Timestamps  [00:00] Intro [05:05] The exact day they quit their corporate jobs [08:47] How to tell a hobby apart from a real business opportunity [10:44] The most common (and costly) mistake new founders make [11:35] Did they set out to build Socialfly to sell it?

    Time for a guided visualization exercise: how to stop feeling like you're not enough. Maybe you've felt it before. You finish one big project… Only to immediately start thinking about the next one. You reach the goal… But somehow, it still doesn't feel like enough.  Maybe you've spent years being the dependable one. The one everyone counts on. The one who quietly carries more than anyone realizes. Maybe you've even worn the label proudly... High Performer. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with ambition. There is nothing wrong with wanting to build meaningful things. To make a difference. To create. To leave the world a little better than you found it. Ambition is a beautiful thing. It helps us grow. It helps us serve others. It helps us become who we're capable of being. But somewhere along the way... Ambition quietly accepted a job it was never meant to have. Instead of simply helping you create… it began deciding whether you were worthy. Whether you'd done enough. Whether you'd become enough. And that's an impossible job. Because there will always be another goal. Another mountain to climb. Another finish line waiting just beyond the horizon. So today... I don't want to invite you to become less ambitious. I want to invite you into a new relationship with ambition. One where your work reflects your values... Instead of determining your value. One where you still create extraordinary things... But you no longer ask today's accomplishments to tell you who you are. Let's explore that together. And so… to kick off the month, today is another guided visualization episode, which we release on the first Tuesday of every month this season. So, how does it work? Simple! Let my voice be a guide for you as you focus inward to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers. Listen and participate in this guided visualization exercise: How to stop feeling like you're not enough. You can do this, I believe in you. It's time to SIMPLIFY.

He is also the creator of Rejection Therapy, a platform designed to help people overcome fear and build resilience, and is the author of Easy Discipline: An Unconventional Way to Achieve Ambitious Things (Amazon, Bookshop)*. No pain, no gain. We've all heard that before – and it's true that one way to achieve is through a lot of pain. Good news: there are other ways, too. In this conversation, Jia and I explore how to harness the ambition you already have through easy discipline. Key Points Pain tolerance is admired and celebrated. When greatness comes through pain, our society cheers it. When greatness comes through loving work, we are suspicious. Hard discipline and easy discipline both produce results, but easy discipline does so with more joy and sustainability. Ambitious people often suffer from High Eyes, Low Hands Disease. Higher ambitions create higher expectations that make a gap seem harder to transcend. In the game of Catan, it's not the lucky players that win; it's the most active players. Professional learning follows the same pattern. The momentum loop is the practice of early action generating greater fuel for later action. Even wrong movements are almost always superior to standing still.

    The NN Pod completes its 2026/27 season preview by assessing what success now looks like for Arsenal after winning the Premier League, reaching the Champions League final and establishing themselves among Europe's strongest sides.The hosts debate whether retaining the league title should remain the priority or whether the Champions League has become the defining target. With the pressure of ending Arsenal's 22-year title wait finally removed, they consider whether the team can approach the new campaign with greater freedom while still managing the demands of defending its crown.Attention then turns to the condition of the squad. William Saliba's absence, uncertainty around Jurrien Timber and the physical load carried by players including Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz raise questions about rotation, recovery and whether Arsenal can keep their most important players available for the decisive months of the season.The episode also examines where the attack must improve after a title-winning campaign built heavily on defensive control, set pieces and narrow victories. The hosts assess the need for better individual returns, the potential evolution of Arsenal's midfield and right-hand side, and whether a fitter Ødegaard can help unlock a more expansive version of the team.Finally, the discussion moves to Max Dowman, the pathway for Arsenal's academy players, the club's continuing difficulties in the sales market and the transfer priorities that remain before the window closes. With Arsenal beginning the season as champions rather than challengers, the question is no longer how they reach the top — but how much further they can go.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:49) - What Constitutes Success This Season?(03:46) - Arteta's Contract Situation(06:33) - Rotation, Injuries & Managing the Squad(09:11) - Can Fans Accept Rotation?(11:56) - Premier League or Champions League?(14:05) - Managing the Champions League Schedule(19:54) - Where Must Arsenal's Attack Improve?(22:13) - Better Returns From Arsenal's Attackers(25:05) - Can Arsenal Attack More Without Losing Control?(26:33) - Fine Margins, Set Pieces & Sustainability(29:45) - Replacing Saliba's Influence(34:15) - Ødegaard's Deeper Midfield Role(37:39) - Max Dowman's Breakout Potential(39:10) - Ife Ibrahim & Arsenal's Next Academy Prospects(44:16) - Can Other Hale End Players Break Through?(47:54) - Academy Pathways & Player Development(51:32) - Arsenal's Selling Problem(54:07) - Why Are Arsenal Players Undervalued?(01:02:27) - Arsenal's Remaining Transfer Priorities(01:05:03) - Meslier's Pre-Season Performance(01:06:16) - Vieira, Nelson, Jesus & the Oversized Squad(01:09:02) - Optimism Ahead of the New Season(01:12:14) - Arsenal at the Top of the Mountain(01:15:03) - Will Arsenal Play Better Football?(01:17:13) - Outro & What's Next

    Active Energy Group PLC (AIM:AEG, OTCID:AEUSF) CEO Paul Elliott tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has moved beyond single projects, building a scalable infrastructure pipeline in the UAE backed by ties to government bodies, royal family offices and major tech and infrastructure players. Elliott said the Ghummud project is performing in line with expectations, with first quarterly revenue figures due shortly. On Bitdeer, talks have turned increasingly strategic, spanning an initial 5MW site expandable to 10MW alongside discussions on a potential 50MW-100MW development. Addressing concerns over the pace of progress, Elliott said working with governments, royal households and major international businesses takes patience, and Active Energy remains committed to the UAE despite regional uncertainty. Looking ahead, Elliott said the goal is to become a recognised infrastructure developer for the AI and digital infrastructure market: "Our ambition has become much bigger than one project... They want big, scalable sites, which is what we are doing."

    EP281: You Can Be Gentle With Your Own AmbitionIn this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore what happens when ambition becomes a weapon aimed at yourself — and how to hold your drive with tenderness instead of tension. You do not have to choose between wanting more and being at peace with where you are. Gentle ambition is not laziness. It is wisdom.SHOW NOTESYour Quiet Moment is a daily podcast designed to give you a few minutes of stillness, encouragement, and self-compassion. Each episode features a guided breathing exercise, a reflection on a theme, and affirmations to carry with you through the day.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Opening & Breathing Exercise01:15 – Settling In: The Man Who Wakes Up at Five Fifteen03:45 – The Theme Part 1: Ambition Does Not Have to Hurt06:30 – The Theme Part 2: What Gentle Ambition Looks Like09:15 – Guided Breathwork10:45 – Affirmations Part 111:30 – Affirmations Part 212:15 – Closing ReflectionSTORY SUMMARYWe meet a man who wakes at five fifteen every morning, not because he has to, but because he is afraid that if he stops, he will lose everything. His ambition has become a cage disguised as a engine. We also hear about a woman who spent her twenties chasing a promotion she thought would make her feel complete — and the hollow silence that greeted her when she finally arrived. These stories illustrate the cost of ambition without gentleness, and the freedom that comes from learning to hold your drive without letting it hold you.HOSTYour host brings warmth, honesty, and a big-sibling energy to every episode. Today's reflection draws on personal experience with burnout, the pressure to constantly produce, and the slow learning that rest is not a reward but a requirement.TOPICS- Ambition and self-compassion- The danger of making productivity your identity- Learning to rest without guilt- Wanting more while loving what you have- Gentle ambition as wisdom, not weaknessDISCLAIMERThis podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.

    Arsenal's transfer window enters increasingly uncertain territory as Gavin and Justin assess the club's reported interest in Vinícius Júnior and the factors that could determine whether one of the biggest deals in Premier League history ever becomes realistic.They examine Real Madrid's contract position, Arsenal's ability to finance the move and why the story appears to carry more substance than a straightforward attempt to strengthen the player's negotiating position. Attention then turns to another possible Madrid target before the discussion moves to Bruno Guimarães, Newcastle's changing situation and the growing sense that the midfielder's future may be approaching a decisive point.With William Saliba sidelined and Jurrien Timber's rehabilitation being managed carefully, the hosts also consider Arsenal's need for defensive cover, the shortage of obvious options and whether academy defenders could be given an opportunity during pre-season.The episode continues with Ethan Nwaneri's uncertain pathway, interest from clubs across England and Europe, and the difficult choice between creating a genuine first-team role or selling while his value remains high. Fabio Vieira's expected departure prompts a wider debate about resale value, recruitment mistakes and why development-based transfer logic does not always apply to a club operating at Arsenal's level.Elsewhere, Chelsea's moves for Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson come under scrutiny, while the escalating fees being paid for goalkeepers lead into discussion of Kepa Arrizabalaga's future. The show closes with Fulham's double move for Gonzalo García and César Palacios as the Premier League's spending continues to reshape the market.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:34) - Transfer Show Introduction(01:05) - Arteta's Transfer Comments(01:52) - Arsenal's Interest in Vinícius Júnior(04:33) - Could Vinícius Be Using Arsenal?(06:54) - The Premier League's Biggest Incoming Transfer?(07:54) - Real Madrid's Final Contract Offer(09:57) - Arsenal's Second Real Madrid Target(11:29) - Bruno Guimarães Talks Enter the Final Stretch(14:19) - Eddie Howe's Exit and Newcastle's Position(16:07) - Arsenal's Defensive Reinforcement Problem(18:06) - Could the Academy Provide Cover?(19:10) - Ethan Nwaneri Transfer Interest(21:35) - Arsenal's Failure to Develop Nwaneri(23:14) - Loan, Sale or First-Team Pathway?(27:58) - Buy-Back Clauses and Maximising Nwaneri's Value(28:46) - Fabio Vieira and Hamburg Negotiations(29:43) - Does Resale Value Matter to Arsenal?(32:28) - Jakub Kiwior and Arsenal's Selling Record(33:33) - Chelsea Target Welbeck and Henderson(35:02) - What the Signings Say About Chelsea(36:05) - Rising Goalkeeper Transfer Fees(38:29) - Kepa's Future and Arsenal's Goalkeeper Order(39:55) - Fulham Sign Gonzalo García(42:32) - Assessing the García Deal(44:06) - César Palacios and Fulham's Ambition(45:43) - Fulham's Boom-or-Bust Rebuild(46:15) - Outro

    In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore OpenAI's bold move into AI-powered consumer hardware and what it reveals about the future of trust in artificial intelligence.   Highlights 00:03 — OpenAI is adding yet another string to its bow as it becomes increasingly recognized as more than just its flagship ChatGPT product. Now, the company is reportedly developing its first consumer hardware device: a human-like AI companion that lives in the home. 00:21 — The report suggests that OpenAI is creating a portable, screenless AI smart speaker, not the AI phone that many people are expecting. As you might expect, the device will integrate with ChatGPT and handle questions, send messages, play media, and enable smart home controls. 00:38 — All pretty comparable to the existing smart speakers on the market, like Amazon's Echo. However, OpenAI's device is also expected to include cameras and sensors to get a better understanding of where it is and the context. While mechanical moving elements will give it more presence. Over time, the AI will learn about its owner and become increasingly personalized. 01:01 — Now, beyond the obvious—and by that I mean OpenAI's potential foray into consumer electronics and all the potential battles that might start between the leaders in that space—there's something really interesting about the ambition here and what it says about where we are today. Not long ago, the discussion was all about trust. 01:21 — Could we get consumers to trust AI enough to get the most from it? Looking at this investment, I think the answer is yes. This is an AI that not only observes and listens to its owner, but actively changes to adapt to their likes, dislikes, and personalities, passively and without waiting for requests. This is a big jump. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

    Movie of the Year: 2006The Prestige (feat. Kenny McMillan from the Frame and Reference pod!)The Prestige Podcast: Nolan's Obsession with Magic, Ambition, and DeceptionThe Prestige podcast brings one of Christopher Nolan's most intricate achievements to the center of discussion. Released in 2006, The Prestige stands as a masterclass in misdirection—both thematically and narratively. On this episode of the The Prestige podcast, Ryan, Mike, and Greg explore how the film's structure itself becomes a magic trick, with Kenny McMillan from Frame and Reference offering cinematographic insight into Nolan's visual storytelling. This episode of The Prestige podcast examines why The Prestige has aged into a richer, more rewarding experience than initial audiences may have recognized.About The PrestigeThe Prestige follows two rival magicians, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), whose competitive obsession spirals into tragedy and revenge. Set in Victorian London, the film weaves illusion, science, and sacrifice into a narrative that demands multiple viewings. Directed by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer, the film is based on Christopher Priest's 1995 novel. The cast includes Scarlett Johansson as the central illusion Olivia, Michael Caine as the mentor Cutter, and David Bowie in a pivotal role as inventor Nikola Tesla. The film explores the cost of ambition and the blurred line between performance and reality.Nolan and Structure: How The Prestige Podcast Uncovers the Architecture of MisdirectionChristopher Nolan's approach to The Prestige mirrors the film's central conceit: the three-act structure of a magic trick. The exposition sets up the trick, the turning point misdirects the audience, and the prestige reveals the truth. Nolan employs this framework to build narrative tension that rewards attentive viewers. Moreover, the film's editing and pacing function as visual sleight of hand, concealing crucial details in plain sight. The director's command of chronology and revelation transforms structural mechanics into thematic content. Additionally, the cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema reinforces this architecture through framing choices that obscure as much as they reveal. Consequently, viewers who dismiss the film on first viewing often discover entirely new dimensions upon rewatching—a quality that separates The Prestige from conventional period dramas.Magic and Ambition: The Prestige Podcast Explores the Psychology of ObsessionAt its core, The Prestige interrogates the price of ambition through the lens of performance and sacrifice. The Prestige podcast digs into how both Borden and Angier pursue mastery of the transported man illusion, but their methods diverge fundamentally. Borden's sacrifice is existential; Angier's is technological. The film suggests that true magic—or true achievement of any kind—requires a willingness to lose something irreplaceable. Furthermore, the duality that defines both characters extends beyond performance into identity itself. The film examines what performers owe to their craft and what craft demands of performers. In particular, the female perspective through Olivia complicates the male rivalry at the narrative's center. Meanwhile, the film positions Nikola Tesla as the ultimate embodiment of ambition unmoored from morality, a cautionary figure whose genius destabilizes the rules governing the Victorian world.Twins: Doubling, Duality, and DeceptionThe Prestige operates through systematic doubling. Twin magicians, a transported man illusion that exploits identical performers, and the fundamental duality of Christian Bale's Alfred Borden structure the film's central mystery. The screenplay leverages the audience's familiarity with magic mechanics—particularly the "double" as a common trick device—to guide viewers toward false conclusions. Meanwhile, the film treats twinning not merely as plot mechanism but as philosophical premise. Both main characters pursue versions of themselves that are more successful, more admired, or more powerful than their authentic selves. Additionally, the Tesla machine introduces a horrifying literalization of doubling: what happens when your double is not your collaborator but your replacement? The film's treatment of identity as something that can be split, cloned, or discarded raises questions about the self that persist long after the final reveal.Mount Rushmore: Scandals of '96The Taste Buds rank the most shameful, embarrassing, or otherwise scandalous cinematic moments of 1996. Though The Prestige arrived a decade later, the conversation extends naturally to the ethical compromises and moral failings embedded in the film itself. Both Borden and Angier engage in forms of deception that approach criminality. The death of a stage assistant, the exploitation of Olivia, and the casual cruelty with which both men pursue victory constitute a catalog of wrongs that the film neither excuses nor entirely condemns. This section invites listeners to debate the film's moral landscape and the extent to which audience sympathy with these characters implicates us in their misconduct.Shopping Spree: The Best of 2006 CinemaThe Shopping Spree segment celebrates the feast of cinema that 2006 offered. The Prestige competes in a year alongside Little Miss Sunshine, The Devil Wears Prada, Brick, and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. The conversation weighs Nolan's technical and narrative ambition against the year's other standouts, examining what makes 2006 a genuinely competitive year for the tournament. Furthermore, the panelists consider which films have endured most meaningfully and which have faded in critical esteem over two decades. Notably, The Prestige has sustained and even deepened its reputation as audiences have grown more sophisticated about Nolan's structural innovations.Why The Prestige Podcast Resonates: What Makes This Film EndureTwenty years after its release, The Prestige remains relevant because it articulates anxieties about technology, identity, and performance that have only intensified. The film's treatment of the Tesla machine as a science-fiction intrusion into a historical setting prefigures contemporary concerns about artificial consciousness and the ethics of duplication. Beyond its formal brilliance, the film speaks to the human capacity for self-deception and the stories we tell ourselves to justify our ambitions. Additionally, Nolan's commitment to practical effects and in-camera illusions—a philosophy that runs through his career—makes The Prestige feel increasingly precious in an age of digital manipulation. The film argues, implicitly, that authentic magic resides not in technological wizardry but in the human desire to believe. Ultimately, The Prestige endures because it demands intellectual engagement while delivering emotional and sensory satisfaction—a balance that few contemporary films achieve. This is precisely why the Prestige podcast episode deepens with each listen, revealing new dimensions in both the film and its broader cultural significance.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 20062006 Intro Part 1: Bracket RevealTristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryBrick2006 Mixtape Part IThe Puffy ChairThe Devil Wears PradaLittle Miss SunshineAll Movie of the Year EpisodesGuest Panelist: Kenny McMillanKenny McMillan is the host and producer of Frame and Reference, a cinematography podcast featuring long-form, unstructured conversations with working cinematographers about their craft, influences, and current projects.

What's going on?" asked Eunji.Ko: 민준은 현재 일에 대한 불만과 새로운 기회를 찾고 싶다는 생각을 털어놓았습니다.En: Minjun opened up about his dissatisfaction with his current job and his desire to seek new opportunities.Ko: 은지는 민준이 스타트업에서 일해보는 게 어떻겠냐고 제안했습니다.En: Eunji suggested that Minjun consider working at a startup.Ko: 하지만 민준은 두려웠습니다.En: However, Minjun was scared.Ko: 안정된 직장을 그만두고 새로운 도전을 한다는 것은 큰 모험이었습니다.En: Quitting a stable job and taking on a new challenge was a big adventure.Ko: 그러던 중, 그의 멘토인 현수에게서 갑작스러운 전화가 왔습니다.En: In the midst of this, he received a sudden call from his mentor, Hyunsoo.Ko: 현수는 새로운 고객에게 특별한 캠페인 아이디어를 제안할 기회를 얻었다고 말했습니다.En: Hyunsoo said he had gained an opportunity to propose a special campaign idea to a new client.Ko: 민준이 그 아이디어를 제안할 중요한 자리에 참석했으면 좋겠다는 것이었습니다.En: He wanted Minjun to attend the important meeting where the idea would be presented.Ko: 민준은 고민에 빠졌습니다.En: Minjun fell into deep thought.Ko: "이 기회가 내 커리어에 결정적인 순간이 될까?" 그는 자문했습니다.En: "Could this opportunity be the decisive moment for my career?" he asked himself.Ko: 깊은 생각 끝에, 그는 용기를 내기로 결정했습니다.En: After a lot of deliberation, he decided to muster up the courage.Ko: 그는 현수에게 가서 캠페인 아이디어를 강력하게 제안했습니다.En: He went to Hyunsoo and strongly proposed the campaign idea.Ko: 그 자리에서 민준의 열정과 창의력은 모두의 마음을 움직였습니다.En: In that place, Minjun's passion and creativity moved everyone's hearts.Ko: 캠페인은 성공적으로 통과되었고, 민준은 새로운 확신과 자신감을 얻었습니다.En: The campaign passed successfully, and Minjun gained new confidence and assurance.Ko: 그는 깨달았습니다. 변화는 두려움을 안고 있는 동시에 새로운 기회를 맞이하는 일이라는 것을.En: He realized that change involves facing fears while seizing new opportunities.Ko: 그리고 그는 힘이 생겼습니다, 미지의 것을 두려워하지 않고 받아들이는 용기를 갖게 된 것입니다.En: And he found strength, gaining the courage to accept the unknown without fear.Ko: 그날 이후, 민준은 더 이상 현 상황에 안주하지 않고, 새로운 기회를 향해 나아가기로 결심했습니다.En: From that day on, Minjun resolved not to settle for his current situation anymore and to strive toward new opportunities.Ko: 그가 커피 로스터리를 떠날 때, 햇살은 더욱 따스하게 그를 비추고 있었습니다.En: When he left the coffee roastery, the sunlight shone even more warmly on him.

    Ambition has a reputation for making people restless, intense, and never satisfied, but that version of ambition is only one story. We talk about the difference between chasing achievements to fill an emotional void and pursuing growth from a grounded place of gratitude. When “enoughness” is the real target, every milestone wears off fast. When values are the target, you can feel fulfilled right now and still build a bigger life with purpose.We also dig into what it means to be multipassionate without becoming addicted to novelty. If you love learning across fields, your interests can compound into deeper impact rather than distract you. The trap is letting excitement decide your commitments. The moment progress slows and the work turns repetitive, a shiny new goal starts calling your name. We share a simple way to tell the difference between a genuine shift in priorities and an escape from the discomfort of sustained effort, plus why finishing what you start is a cornerstone of mastery.Finally, we reframe “productive” ambition by focusing on emotional fuel. Instead of using stress, self-punishment, and burnout as the engine, we walk through healthier fuels you can generate before any results show up: enthusiasm, inspiration, vitality, courage, audacity, exploration, joy, certainty, gratitude, and generosity. The goal is to stay wildly ambitious while becoming emotionally healthier, so discipline and peace can coexist.If this resonated, subscribe for more tools, share this with a friend who feels stuck in the start-and-stop cycle, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

    For the past few weeks, I've noticed a pattern. Not just in my own life, but in almost every conversation I've been having with women. Something is asking us to slow down. Not because we're lazy. Not because we've lost our ambition. But because something deeper is asking for our attention. In this episode, I'm sharing the questions I've been sitting with lately and the tension I've been feeling between two very different visions for my life and business. One voice tells me to think bigger. Scale faster. Make more. Become more. Build the impressive business. Chase the next milestone. The other quietly whispers that maybe peace is the success I've been looking for all along. What if the life you're working so hard to create isn't actually the one your soul wants anymore? We talk about the expectations we place on ourselves, the identities we've unconsciously adopted, and the subtle ways we build businesses and lives around who we think we're supposed to become instead of who we truly are. I also share a personal realization after looking at my own website and recognizing that I had built pieces of my brand around proving I belonged instead of simply expressing who I am. This conversation isn't about settling or playing small. It's about having the courage to question whether you're climbing the right mountain in the first place. Because sometimes the biggest shift isn't changing your strategy. It's changing the destination. I also share why I believe so many women are experiencing this right now, why I don't think it's random, and why these moments of questioning are preparing us for what's ahead rather than pulling us off course. If you've been feeling torn between who you've always been and who you're becoming... If success suddenly feels heavier than it used to or if there's a quiet part of you wondering whether you're building a life that actually belongs to you, this episode is for you. Here are the two ways to work with me right now:

    Poser des limites est l'un des plus grands défis des femmes leaders. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, met des mots sur une posture très répandue : celle de la “bonne poire”. Cette tendance à faire passer les besoins des autres avant les siens, à éviter l'inconfort, à prendre sur soi pour que tout le monde aille bien. À travers cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi ne pas poser des limites vous coûte cher - en énergie, en reconnaissance, en argent et en impact - et comment changer de posture sans renier qui vous êtes.Être une leader “bonne poire”, c'est souvent assurer partout : au travail, à la maison, émotionnellement pour les autres. C'est ne pas dire les choses, ne pas faire les feedbacks nécessaires, accepter des retards, des débordements, des responsabilités qui ne sont pas les vôtres. C'est aussi porter la charge émotionnelle de son équipe, de sa famille, de son entourage, jusqu'à s'oublier soi-même. Jenny montre comment cette incapacité à poser des limites mène progressivement à l'épuisement, à la perte de sens et à une baisse de l'estime de soi.Dans cet épisode, vous explorez aussi l'autre posture possible : celle de la leader “bad ass”. Une leader qui reste empathique, mais qui ne se sacrifie plus. Une leader qui sait poser des limites, affirmer ses besoins, valoriser son travail et assumer ses choix sans culpabilité. Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette posture ne rend ni dure ni froide : elle permet au contraire d'exercer un leadership plus juste, plus clair et plus durable.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les situations où vous avez du mal à poser des limites.– Comprendre le lien entre people pleasing, culpabilité et manque d'estime de soi.– Mesurer le coût réel de la posture de “bonne poire” dans votre vie professionnelle et personnelle.– Développer une posture plus affirmée sans perdre votre empathie.– Faire de vos besoins une boussole légitime dans vos décisions de leader.Jenny partage également des réflexions clés sur la responsabilité émotionnelle, la peur de déplaire et l'importance de cultiver une estime de soi solide pour sortir des schémas de suradaptation. Cet épisode est une invitation à arrêter de ramasser les miettes et à prendre pleinement votre place - au travail, à la maison et dans votre vie.

Ashley Collins, my chief of staff and resident PhD I love to brag about, is back asking the questions you've been waiting for. What you're going to hear today is rare: me talking about my actual calendar, my real coaching philosophy, my relationship with ambition, and my honest, hopeful take on a season of life the internet keeps trying to convince women is awful. Spoiler: midlife is not awful. Burnout isn't caused by working too much. AI still doesn't have the Holy Spirit.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why burnout is really an input/output problem (and what the right inputs actually look like for high-capacity women) The difference between needing a new strategy vs. needing to get out of your own way, and how a good coach can tell which one you actually need Why I wasn't worried about AI replacing my coaching practice (and what I thinks AI genuinely can and can't do) The "crystallized intelligence" that midlife women have access to that younger women don't Why our lives quietly shrink in midlife, and the one thing I would tell every woman to fight against What  I think about ambition as a Christian woman (and why ambition and obedience aren't in conflict) The simplest nervous-system reset that costs nothing and works every time   Timestamps: (01:01) — What gets better in midlife and the "crystallized intelligence" you earn with age (04:25) — The #1 mistake midlife women make: letting their world get smaller (05:03) — Why novelty is not optional in midlife and how to actively expand your territory (05:41) — Ambition and faith: why ambitious women are not a problem and what we've gotten wrong about ambition for too long (09:22) — I break down her weekly calendar: coaching days vs. creative days and why she protects each differently (10:33) — Why I do all her client coaching via phone (not video) and what it reveals about focused attention (11:56) — Coaching day energy: where it comes from, what it feels like, and why this gift "ends with me" (14:04) — Strategy vs. self-work: how to tell which one you actually need (and why we always want the strategy) (16:49) — My honest take on AI: what it's good for, where it fails, and why it lacks taste, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit (21:35) — How to start using AI if you're nervous about it (her actual on-ramp recommendation) (22:31) — The Claude project she uses for her husband's health (and why this might be AI's best use case) (24:02) — "Information is free. Transformation isn't." How this insight shapes everything I build with Catalyst (25:51) — Why we don't take action: what's really underneath the fear (it's not what you think) (28:13) — Burnout reframed: it's not about working too hard  (30:52) — How to start asking yourself what you actually need right now (31:00) — The simplest input most women are skipping (it's free, it's outside, and it calms your nervous system)   Links to great things we discussed:  Catalyst Mastermind Function Health Uplift App Wise Woman Era Alli on YouTube   I hope you loved this episode!

    Recorded on July 26, 2026: This week, Mike continues coverage of the ongoing war involving Iran, examining the conflicting messages coming from the White House about whether the war is over, whether the United States plans to avoid further escalation, or whether negotiations could resume. With reports continuing to contradict one another—and the Pentagon downplaying the extent of deaths, injuries, and damage—there appears to be no clear end in sight. The discussion then turns to the possibility of the United States providing nuclear materials to Saudi Arabia. While Saudi officials maintain that the materials would be used only for peaceful purposes, Israel remains concerned that the move could ultimately help Saudi Arabia develop into a nuclear power.  Mike also examines Iran's reported threats against Kuwait and considers how a potential expansion of the conflict could affect the war's duration and regional stability. He then offers a passionate discussion about the use of the word "genocide" in relation to Israel and how that terminology influences global perceptions of the conflict. Finally, Mike recaps the latest developments in domestic politics and the primary elections. Thank you for listening, sharing and subscribing to The Third Opinion Podcast.

    We continue studying the Apostle Paul's teaching on how we can live a life that is "pleasing to God". We have already learned that God's will for our life is to be "sanctified" or living our life pursuing holiness and now he continues by laying out some other important principles we should be pursuing or using our "ambition" towards. Our character and integrity matters as part of our witness and that includes how we treat one another within the church body, but also how we live our lives outside of the church. Those factors play a huge role in our ability to earn the right to be heard when we share the gospel in our community. This message explores how we are called to love "more and more" (overflowing love in action) other Christians inside the church; live a quiet live (what does that mean?) mind our own business and work with our hands (stay in our lanes and serve others) and not be a burden on others.  From 1st Thessalonians 4:9-12. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others. Join us for our weekly worship online at www.firstbaptistblowingrock.com or our Youtube page. Contact us at office@firstbaptistblowingrock.com or by phone @ 828-295-7715

    Welcome to our first-ever solo episode with host Amanda Goetz! With an impressive career trajectory that spans roles at big corporations, startups, and as an author, Amanda offers invaluable insights into navigating the professional world in this big-sister-style coffee chat. She pulls from her own career path (Ernst & Young → celebrity wedding planner → startup founder → The Knot → CMO at Reale Actives) to give you real, tactical advice on annual reviews, one-on-ones, burnout, job searching, and more.  Consider this your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your career on your own.  Got a question for a future episode?

Build a weekly "operating rhythm," so your team always knows when to bring you ideas. Send a "managing up Monday" email each week: top wins, focus areas, and shout-outs. Visibility trumps ability. Before an annual review, translate your work into business terms your boss can repeat to their boss. Career changes don't need to be justified in hindsight—just take the next step with the best info you have. Confront conflict directly instead of triangulating through other people. "Focus and finish": pick two priorities a day instead of running an endless to-do list. Networking should start long before you need it—keep a running list of contacts and stay in touchGUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/ Book: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781464233258  https://www.amandagoetz.com/  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP  Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/   For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0  Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to "have it all" in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

    Most coaches are wired to compete, and that ambition can either fuel a career or quietly hijack it. In this episode, TJ and Sam explore how to honor your drive without losing sight of the impact you're making today. Using Dusty May's recent press conference as a jumping-off point, they work through the difference between contentment and complacency, and how gratitude eventually opens the next door. They share from their own coaching journeys and life changes reshape priorities over time. It's a conversation to catch yourself when you're thinking more about what's next than what's in front of you.Show Notes:Ambition helps or hindersDusty May's telling press conferenceImpact over climbing laddersWhich economy are you focused onWrong ladder, wrong roofContent is not complacentBe great where you're atGratitudeShifting prioritiesExperience and humilityLiving the dreamToday's opportunitiesHigh standards fuel transformationGetting the next door to openSend us a Message.
