Most consultants start their business without a clear roadmap. They rely on referrals, hustle and hope. In this episode, I break down Phase 1 of the Scalable Consulting Firm Method: the Foundations Phase, from $0 to $200K in revenue. Whether you're consulting full time or part time, this stage can feel intense. You're learning how to deliver client work and run a business at the same time. I share common mistakes to avoid, what to prioritize and why keeping things simple will serve you best. I also share what kind of coaching support is most helpful at this stage, including how to find the right program or coach to help you build a strong foundation. P.S. I don't typically work with consultants in this phase, but I want you to have the roadmap so you know what to focus on now and when it makes sense to seek deeper support.   Resources Mentioned

If your consulting business is between $200K and $400K, it may look successful from the outside but feel surprisingly unstable on the inside.  In this episode, I break down why Phase 2 is one of the most challenging stages of growth and why so many consultants feel stretched thin, busy, and at the edge of their capacity.  You will also learn what needs your focus in this phase so your business can become more predictable and less dependent on you. This episode will help you understand what is normal, what to expect, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgess explores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. 1865

Dans ce 141 ème épisode de DigitalFeelnig, je me pose sur l'analyse et les chiffres clés de l'usage de l'IA en fonction des études et de ce que je constate sur le terrain.L'Intelligence Artificielle est devenue un pilier stratégique du marketing, de la communication et de la performance globale des entreprises françaises. Pourtant, derrière le bruit médiatique, les chiffres racontent une histoire plus nuancée. Le taux d'adoption progresse, mais reste encore limité à certaines typologies d'organisations très digitalisées.Voici un panorama complet, fondé sur les données 2024-2025 (INSEE, Ipsos, DGE), pour comprendre où en est la France, quels usages progressent réellement, et quelles opportunités se dessinent pour les entreprises.1. Adoption de l'IA en entreprise : une progression réelle mais encore minoritaireEn 2024, 10 % des entreprises françaises de plus de 10 salariés déclaraient utiliser au moins une technologie d'IA — contre 6 % en 2023.➡️ Une croissance nette en un an, signe d'un changement d'ère.L'adoption reste cependant très contrastée selon la taille et le secteur :33 % des entreprises de plus de 250 salariés utilisent l'IA ;42 % des entreprises du secteur information-communication y ont recours.Les technologies les plus déployées sont :l'analyse de langage écrit (NLP) : 44 %le machine learning & la data avancée : 41 %Ce que cela révèle :Les entreprises qui adoptent le plus l'IA sont celles déjà matures sur la data, l'automatisation ou la transformation digitale. Une majorité de PME et TPE reste encore en retrait.2. Usage individuel : l'IA générative s'installe dans le quotidienSelon Ipsos (2025), plus de 75 % des utilisateurs d'IA générative l'emploient au moins une fois par semaine, dans leurs activités :professionnelles (emailing, veille, rédaction, analyse)éducativespersonnellesEn clair : même si l'IA n'est pas encore massivement intégrée dans toutes les entreprises, elle est déjà largement adoptée par les individus, ce qui prépare un basculement culturel majeur.3. Secteurs et cas d'usage où l'IA crée le plus de valeur en 2025L'IA est particulièrement pertinente dans les secteurs :information-communicationservices techniques et spécialisésmarketing, data, conseilindustrie (automatisation, optimisation, vision)L'écosystème français se renforce :La France figure désormais dans le top 5 mondial du Global AI Index.Une dynamique forte pousse startups, laboratoires, clusters et French Tech à accélérer.Applications à forte valeur ajoutée :automatisation des tâches marketing (rédaction, segmentation, scoring)optimisation opérationnelleanalyse prédictivegénération créative multimédiaagents IA capables d'exécuter des workflows autonomes4. Freins et défis : pourquoi l'adoption reste encore limitéeMalgré la dynamique, trois freins majeurs persistent :1. Taille des entreprisesLes TPE/PME manquent souvent :de compétences internes,d'infrastructures data,d'un cadre de gouvernance clair.2. Fracture numériqueLes écarts sont importants entre secteurs innovants et entreprises traditionnelles.3. Besoin massif de formationLa montée en compétences sur :les modèles génératifs,l'orchestration d'agents IA,la data literacy,devient un enjeu national.Les initiatives publiques (stratégie nationale IA, programmes Bpifrance) vont dans le bon sens, mais les freins structurels demeurent.Conclusion : la France avance — mais l'IA n'est pas encore généralisée dans les entreprisesL'IA est présente, mais pas encore démocratisée.Les grandes entreprises avancent vite, les PME explorent progressivement, tandis que les individus adoptent rapidement les outils génératifs.Pour les dirigeants, marketeurs et entrepreneurs, la priorité est désormais de :✔ identifier les bons usages,✔ développer compétences et gouvernance,✔ mesurer l'impact business,sans suivre aveuglément le buzz technologique.L'ère de l'IA stratégique vient juste de commencer.Soutenez le podcast✅ Abonnez-vous à DigitalFeeling sur LinkedIn✅ Rejoignez la newsletter : substack.com/@elodiechenol✅ Laissez 5 ⭐ sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify

Back for Business, the free programme aimed at supporting returned or soon-to-be-returning Irish emigrants to start and develop a business in Ireland, is seeking new applicants for its ninth cycle. The development programme, which is funded by the Irish Abroad Unit, Department of Foreign Affairs, was created to foster and support entrepreneurial activity among emigrants recently returned to Ireland. In opening the call for applicants, Neale Richmond, TD, Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, said: "I am acutely aware of the barriers that are faced by those returning to Ireland, and this is why the Programme for Government contains a specific commitment to provide support to assist Irish people living abroad who want to return. "Back for Business is a concrete example of the practical support that is provided through the Government's Emigrant Support Programme, to equip early-stage entrepreneurs with the knowledge, confidence, and networks to successfully start and develop sustainable businesses." Those interested in finding out more about the programme should check out the website and register their interest on www.backforbusiness.com, and an application form will be sent to them, with the deadline to apply Friday, January 16th. Up to 50 places will be available on Back for Business 9, which will run from February to June 2026. The Launch Forum and first round table event will take place on February 13th. Back for Business is for returned Irish emigrants who have lived abroad for at least a year and have returned to Ireland in the last three years, or for emigrants currently living abroad who are planning to return to Ireland in the near future. Since launching in 2017, the programme has helped participants to significantly grow sales and employment. It addresses challenges that all early-stage entrepreneurs encounter but also focuses on additional barriers faced by emigrants who have been living away from Ireland. Those who completed last year's programme, Back for Business 8, were very positive in their feedback with 100% saying they would recommend the programme to others and would like to stay in contact with the Back for Business community. In terms of their overall experience, Back for Business 8 participants rated it 4.5 out of a possible 5, with 93% considering the experience either extremely positive or very positive. A total of 97% felt nearer to achieving their ambitions since participating in Back for Business. At the start of the last cycle, under half of the group were trading, but over the course of the programme, this had increased to over two-thirds. The combined turnover of the participants was €1,425,000 at the start of the cycle. By the end, this had increased to €2,594,000, while employment numbers increased from 29 to 80 during the six months. Participants on Back for Business 9 will meet once a month on a peer-supported round table, facilitated by voluntary Lead Entrepreneurs who have experience of successfully starting and growing a business. Many of them have also lived abroad before returning to Ireland to start their business. This year's Lead Entrepreneurs are: Gillian O'Dowd, Director at Azon; Paul Duggan of The Gardiner Group; Seamus Reilly, co-founder and formerly of Critical Healthcare; Sinéad Doherty, founder and CEO of Fenero; and Thomas Ennis, founder of the Thomas Ennis Group. Back for Business past participant Aoife Mathews was based in Madrid when she co-founded SISTERLY, a female supplement company, alongside Jennifer O' Connell and Louise O'Riordan. She is very clear about the importance of that early support. "One of the best decisions I made when I began my entrepreneurial journey was joining the Back for Business programme. Having spent most of my career outside of Ireland, the programme provided not only structure and guidance, but also a collaborative community of ambitious founders." Back for Business past participant Dave McCormack of Fluent says: "Back ...

South East Technological University's (SETU) Walton Institute secures €4m MSCA project to train Europe's next generation of quantum innovators. Walton Institute at South East Technological University has been selected to coordinate QUESTING, a €4 million Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) doctoral network that will train the next generation of quantum internet experts. The project brings together nine European universities and 13 industry partners to address one of the continent's most pressing technology challenges. QUESTING is the first doctoral network to tackle the complete lifecycle of distributed quantum networks. Over the coming years, it will train 15 fully-funded PhD candidates as "Q-System Innovators" - specialists with rare interdisciplinary expertise spanning quantum technology, communications, computing, and social sciences. The project addresses a critical skills shortage. Quantum networks promise to revolutionise secure communications and distributed computing, but Europe requires a trained workforce to design, manage, and operate these systems at scale. Dr Indrakshi Dey, Principal Investigator of QUESTING at Walton Institute, is calling on Europe's brightest talent to apply. "We are not just offering 15 PhD positions," she said. "We are inviting exceptional minds to join an elite, interdisciplinary team backed by industry leaders and world-class infrastructure. If you are ready to stop studying the future and start engineering it, QUESTING is your launching pad." For Ireland, the project represents a significant boost to the country's position in quantum research. As coordinator, Walton Institute will manage the entire consortium, enhancing its international profile and attracting top doctoral talent to the south east region. The institute brings extensive experience leading large-scale EU projects to the role. Speaking about the growing demand for quantum technologies, Dr Deirdre Kilbane, Director of Research at the Walton Institute, SETU, explains the leading role Walton plays in elevating the understanding and capabilities of the technologies. "We are expanding on our existing quantum expertise with the announcement of this QUESTING project here in the Walton Institute. Our team of researchers will be leaders in theoretical modelling and optimisation of advanced quantum networks, which will benefit society in untold ways." The QUESTING consortium includes Trinity College Dublin and the University of Galway's Irish Centre for High-End Computing among its partners. Industry collaborators include Airbus Defence and Space, British Telecommunications, Telecom Italia, and the Austrian Institute of Technology. By training specialists who understand quantum systems from design through to deployment, QUESTING aims to give Europe a competitive edge in the race to build the quantum internet. The project will establish a harmonised doctoral curriculum that becomes the European standard for training in quantum network systems. The work addresses what researchers call the "fertile nexus" where quantum and classical computing meet. Rather than treating quantum networks in isolation, QUESTING takes a holistic approach, integrating expertise from quantum physics, complex systems theory, information engineering, and even humanities disciplines to consider ethical and societal implications. Applications for the 15 funded PhD positions are now open. Contact Indrakshi.Dey@waltoninstitute.ie for details.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text! Hello Creators,Ever meet a classic through its film cousins first? Join our final Guest Reader of 2025, trans voice actor Robyn McConnell, as she traces the surprising lineage between Treasure Planet and Muppets Treasure Island and the book that started it all—then slip into a soft, steady reading of Stevenson's opening chapter.Robyn shares how adaptations simplify early stakes, why some versions erase Jim Hawkins' father, and what that choice does to the mood of the Admiral Benbow. Together we map what the films kept—the songs, the myth, the promise of danger—and what the novel restores: the quiet dread of waiting, the texture of a frayed coat, the weight of a debt unpaid. It's a guided rediscovery that treats story as both study and sanctuary.From the captain's first knock to Dr Livesey's unflinching rebuke, the chapter unfolds in calm detail. Robyn's performance stays warm and restrained, giving you space to breathe while keeping the thread of the tale clear. If you've only known the story through animation and puppets, you'll hear why the original opening is a masterclass in atmosphere—rich, patient, and haunting in the gentlest way.If you enjoy thoughtful storytelling, cosy narration, and a little literary myth-busting, this one's for you. Follow for more sleep-friendly readings, share with a friend who needs a calmer night, and leave a quick review to help others find their way to rest.Sweet Dreams,Florence xFollow Robyn:https://rmcconnellva.carrd.co/Instagram: @cubixfailsSupport the showOur Links: www.sleeplesscreativespodcast.co.uk Our producer Instagram Linkedin Do you want to feature as one of our Guest Readers in your own special episode?

This week on #TheShot of #digitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I sat down with someone who might just change how we all understand… well, everything. Because when you think “future of health tech,” your brain probably doesn't jump to noses in petri dishes. But maybe it should. We hosted Brian Lin, a Tufts researcher and a co-founder of Cellsor, who is literally growing living smell tissue to build the world's first biological smell "camera". Yes - a "camera" for scent. Think RGB for odors… except instead of 3 channels, humans have 400, dogs have 700, elephants have 2,000, and Jim has… well, that's still in peer review.

Rethink Ireland has launched Impact Fund 2025, a €1.1 million initiative designed to support innovative, community-led projects across Munster and Wexford. The fund, established by Rethink Ireland in partnership with the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, as well as a suite of philanthropic donors, will back up to eight high-impact projects strengthening social inclusion, wellbeing, and environmental resilience at a local level across the south of Ireland. Applications are now open at rethinkireland.ie/open-funds/ and will close on Friday, 16 January at 1 pm. Rethink Ireland is the national funding body supporting the most innovative non-profit organisations and social enterprises working to create a more just, equal and sustainable Ireland.

In this wide-ranging conversation with students at Ralston College, evolutionary biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying reflect on how to live well in the modern world, biologically, philosophically, and spiritually. Moving from Aristotle's De Anima to the ethics of diet and the future of civilization, they explore the body not as an obstacle to overcome but as the very substrate through which consciousness takes form. From lineage and the long arc of life on Earth to nutrition, parenthood, grief, and the challenges of modern medicine, the discussion reveals an integrated vision of human flourishing rooted in both biology and meaning. Applications for Ralston College's MA in the Humanities are now open.

Eddie Toliver from the Kewanee Salvation Army and Marty Medley from the Kewanee Elks Lodge #724 joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the functions of the Salvation Army and the Elks Lodge within the Kewanee community. The Salvation Army's Red Kettle campaign is in full swing, and community partners like the Elks Club are stepping up with grant support and volunteers.  The Kewanee Elks Lodge presented the Kewanee Salvation Army with a $2,000 check to help bridge the gap from grants this year. The Red Kettle campaign, angel trees, and a variety of grants aim to provide food, gifts, and assistance for those in need. This year's theme is "Give with Joy," but organizers say grants are down 50% and the need is greater than ever. Innovative giving options, like the “tip tap” contactless kettle and sponsorship packages, are now available. Volunteers for bell ringing are needed—just one hour can help. Applications for Angel Tree support are extended through November 25th. The registration deadline for the Angel Tree program has been extended to November 25th at the Kewanee Salvation Army. Families with children ages one to thirteen who need holiday assistance can apply online or visit the Salvation Army Store on North Tremont Street. Required documents include a medical card, a valid ID, and proof of current address. The Angel Tree program, in partnership with Patchy's Red, White, and Blue Christmas Toy Drive, aims to ensure local children in need receive gifts this season. Early angel tags are available for pickup, allowing shoppers to participate before tags appear at Kewanee Wal-Mart. The Kewanee Elks Lodge is making a significant impact in the community through the Elks National Foundation's Community Investments Program. As this year's grants coordinator, Marty Medley, reports, the local lodge has secured $9,000 in grant funding, which is being distributed to vital local initiatives. The Salvation Army's Adopt-a-Family holiday meal program will receive support for both Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Additional grants are assisting the Goodfellas Christmas baskets, United Way's Shoes for Kids, the Kewanee High School pantry, the Kewanee Food Pantry, and Freedom House, to name a few. Elks members aren't just donating funds—they're directly involved in delivering meals, fitting shoes, and supporting distribution efforts throughout Kewanee. Want to join the 250 local members in Kewanee? The local Elks Lodge is actively seeking new members and welcomes anyone interested to join their efforts in supporting the community. Most membership dues stay with the local lodge, and a portion supports national initiatives. If you're interested in signing up, you can call 309-852-2797 and leave a message; the team will respond with information and an application. The Elks Lodge is known for giving back to the community through various charitable efforts and is eager to have more people involved in their projects and events. Local Salvation Army fundraising is facing a significant challenge this year, with grants down by 50% compared to last year. The annual goal this season is $36,000 to bridge the gap from grants, which are crucial to sustaining vital housing and utility assistance programs for the community. Organizers are urging residents to give with joy, emphasizing that all money raised stays local. Multiple giving options are available, including the new “tip tap”—a contactless card donation method. Unique kettle challenges, like Bears vs. Packers and Police vs. Fire, add a competitive spirit. Volunteers are also needed, with just one-hour shifts making it easier than ever to help. Shoppers will spot the iconic red kettles at Walmart, Farm King, Walgreens, and Save A Lot, where volunteers collect donations. This year brings added excitement, with local groups facing off in friendly kettle challenges and special themed events. The football rivalry kicked off the season on November 22nd, at the Bears vs. Packers Challenge. Organizers are calling for volunteers to help keep the festivities running smoothly. Interested individuals can sign up by calling 309-853-4192, emailing eddie.toliver@usc.salvationarmy.org, or visiting RegisterToRing.com. The event promises lively spirit, friendly competition, and plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors. Mark your calendars and consider lending a hand to support your local community during this exciting day of football fun. On December 5th, it's police vs. fire; on December 6th, it's Santa vs. the Grinch; on December 13th, it's the Commanders Red Kettle Challenge.

Three out of every four people seeking work feel that AI could be unfairly screening out their applications, according to a new survey. And a majority feel automation is making some aspects of the recruitment process impersonal and dismissive. This lack of human interaction, according to the inaugural Collins McNicholas Workforce Insights Report, is making professionals less interested in working for particular companies. Overwhelmingly, the one piece of advice professionals would give to companies is to "keep a human touch" in the recruitment process. Of the more than 2,500 respondents to the Collins McNicholas Workforce Insights Report, some 75% agreed or strongly agreed that AI could be unfairly screening out their applications. Only five per cent strongly disagreed. Almost three out of four (74%) felt automated rejection emails were impersonal and dismissive, with only six per cent strongly disagreeing. The survey was carried out by Collins McNicholas Recruitment & HR Services Group over a two-week period (from October 7th to October 21st) among professionals on the company's database. A total of 2,541 responses were received from professionals working across a range of sectors and age profiles. Collins McNicholas is an award-winning Irish company that sources talent and provides hiring solutions across a wide variety of sectors for its client companies. Other automation-related findings included: A total of 69% felt that a lack of human interaction made them less interested in working for a company. More than half (54%) said the one piece of advice they would give employers if using AI in recruitment was to 'keep a human touch in the process'. This was followed by urging employers to only use automation at certain stages (16%) and to improve communication and feedback (14%) Almost half (46%) disagreed that automated messages made the recruitment process more efficient Collins McNicholas' Director Michelle Murphy said: "The findings of our inaugural Workforce Insights Report are extremely interesting and show that employers face a huge challenge in balancing the use of AI and automation to speed up their recruitment process while ensuring that the applicants feel like they are being treated equally and receiving that human touch that they are clearly saying they want. Employers - and recruitment companies - are under increasing pressure to keep up to date with advances in AI but this report is a warning shot that we need to be careful about how we are implementing AI and where we are inserting that into the process. "Collins McNicholas carried out this survey to capture the perspectives and priorities of professionals actively seeking new career opportunities in Ireland. All responses were collected anonymously to enable a comprehensive analysis of the trends shaping the Irish employment landscape in 2025. We plan to carry out an annual report in order to gain further insights to help employers gain real-time insights into the concerns and priorities of professionals." The survey also asked those who have been seeking work during 2025 about other issues. Here are some of those key findings: Career progression (27%) and company culture (24%) are the main non-monetary priorities for those seeking new career opportunities right now. Professionals put these items ahead of remote/work from home options (23%) and flexible working hours (19%). A majority of companies have not changed their hybrid or remote work policy in 2025. Despite much talk in the media about the increased move back to the office, some 59% said that their company had not changed their policy so far this year, with 16% saying they had. The remaining surveyed are not currently with a company full-time. Of those who made a change this year, the majority are now working in the office three days a week. Professionals also do not believe that working remotely or on a hybrid model negatively affects opportunities for career advancement. A total of 51% either stro...

In this episode, we reflect on the importance of giving thanks to the Lord for all He has done in both the beautiful and difficult moments of life. We talk about how practicing gratitude can change our perspective of reality and helps us recognize where God has been present even in moments we do not understand. We also name the fears that can sometimes keep us from giving thanks and discuss how gratitude becomes an act of surrender that opens us to God's steady, faithful presence. As a gift to you, we end today's episode by doing Lectio Divina with Psalm 34 and invite you into a time of prayer with us.   Heather's One Thing - Jalapeno, Pepper Jack, and Bacon Corn Pudding Recipe  Heather's Other One Thing -  Hell or High Water and Edens by Amanda Cook Sister Miriam's One Thing - Her SOLT Community Michelle's One Thing - College Football   Other Resources Mentioned:  Life Transitions Part One and Part Two with Chris Benzinger One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp   Journal Questions: What graces have I received this year? How did the Lord accompany me this year? What do I need to let go of as we transition into a new liturgical year? What parts of my life am I afraid to give thanks for?   Discussion Questions: What has the Lord taught you in this season? What was surprising this past year? What challenges and joys did you experience this year? Where are you resistant to give thanks?   Quote to Ponder: "Gratitude is at the center of a life of faith. It sounds too simple to be true, but isn't that the sign of all deep truth: so simple we're tempted to dismiss it, and so hard, it is exactly what God uses to change our hard lives." (Ann Voskamp)   Scripture for Lectio: "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord, and was saved from every trouble. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him."

If you've ever felt like your emotions take over the moment a connection feels uncertain… or you find yourself spiraling, overthinking, and craving reassurance even when you know it's “too much,” this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Today, we're diving into anxious attachment through a compassionate, science-backed lens, exploring your nervous system, your past relational experiences, and the truth that nothing is wrong with you. Your reactions make sense. And yes, you can absolutely heal.Inside the episode, we cover:The nervous system science behind anxious attachment - why your body stays in threat anticipation mode and why reassurance-seeking feels uncontrollable.The real roots of anxious attachment - inconsistent caregiving, emotional invalidation, early relationship trauma, and how those patterns shape adult relationships.The cultural pressure cooker - how modern dating, ghosting, and the “cool girl” narrative intensify anxious attachment and dysregulate your system even more.If this episode resonated and your heart is saying, “I can't do another year of these patterns…” I want to lovingly encourage you to take action now.Applications for the Empowered.Secure.Loved Program close this year, and we have extremely limited spots left. If you know you're ready to become securely attached and change your relationship patterns for good, this is your chance.And because it's Black Friday, you can also unlock the Secure Love Accelerator for over 70% off, but only while spots last. This is the most affordable way to start transforming your attachment system, and the offer will not return.Apply to ESL now or grab your Accelerator spot before the Black Friday offer closes.Your future self (the secure, grounded, loved version of you) will be so grateful you said yes.

Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're interested in optimising your healthspan and lifespan, this episode is not to be missed. In the quest for longevity, the spotlight has turned to NAD+ and its precursors, NMN and NR. In this episode featuring Dr. Charles Brenner, a metabolism scientist, we dive deep into the significance of these molecules and their role in healthy aging. You'll discover that NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is not just a trending topic but rather a crucial player in metabolism. Learn why Charles refers to it as the "central jewel of metabolism". In the conversation, the distinction between NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) is clarified, and you'll discover which of these molecules has the best evidence-base. You'll also find out why some popular ways to increase NAD+ are an expensive waste of time. Dr. Brenner highlights the importance of evidence-based research, citing eight randomised clinical trials demonstrating the anti-inflammatory effects of one of the NAD+ precursors in humans. One significant study focuses on peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition affecting millions of older adults that can severely impact mobility and quality of life. Ypu'll also disciver why a simple functional test is a way better predictor of longevity than all of the espoensive epigenetic-focused Biological Age tests that are currently on the market. What You'll Learn: The Basics of NAD and Its Functions: Understand the foundational role of NAD in cellular metabolism and how it acts as a transmitter of high-energy electrons needed for energy production and cell functions. Scientific Evidence and Research: Discover the rigor behind the clinical research of NAD and its supplements, like Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), including ongoing trials and results showing anti-inflammatory properties in humans. Controversies and Misconceptions: Unpack the myths concerning longevity molecules, such as misinterpretations around resveratrol, with arguments laid out by reputable scientists like Dr. Brenner. Applications in Age-Related Diseases: Explore the potential of NR supplements in addressing conditions like peripheral artery disease and its promising though variable outcomes in treating Long COVID and neurodegenerative diseases. Critical Analysis of Clinical Trials: Learn about the importance of clinical integrity, unbiased research, and how independent laboratories contribute to credible scientific discoveries. Key Takeaways: NAD is vital for maintaining metabolic health and managing cellular stress, which is essential for healthy aging. Recent clinical trials have shown promising results for NR in reducing inflammation and improving conditions related to peripheral artery disease. There's ongoing research into NR's benefits for cognitive function, particularly its potential effects on neurodegenerative disease. Supplements should be chosen carefully, preferably ones that have been tested in clinical trials to ensure efficacy and authenticity. The conversation between Dr. Taylor and Dr. Brenner highlights the need to critically evaluate scientific claims, especially those that are widely publicised without robust evidence. Through the episode, Dr. Brenner provides deep insights into how NAD coenzymes operate within the body and why they're considered crucial for longevity research. Moreover, listeners are encouraged to discern meticulously between scientific fact and internet hype, ensuring they make informed decisions when considering supplements. The episode is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of biochemistry, aging, and healthspan science.

Cessationists argue yes, but we're examining examples in Acts that challenge this view.  We'll dig into Scripture to understand how we should respond to prophecy in a way that remains biblical and faithful without quenching the Spirit. We'll critique cessationist arguments and also offer guidance for continuationists on staying sober-minded (1 Thess. 5:19-22), testing prophecies against Scripture, and avoiding blending emotions with God's voice to prevent harm.0:00 – Introduction0:06 – Can True Prophets Miss?1:13 – Biblical Example in Acts 213:41 – Cessationist Perspective5:00 – Continuationist Critiques7:00 – Context of Prophecy in Acts10:42 – Nature of Missed Prophecy11:02 – Applications for All13:30 – Warnings and Testing Prophecy17:22 – Closing ABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO:
