Amber knew profound grief from an early age. First, it was her parent's divorce. Then her father went to prison to serve a life sentence. Four months after receiving a cancer diagnosis, her mother died from cancer. All of this happened before Amber graduated from high school. From an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) perspective, Amber could have sought people, places, or behaviors that compounded her suffering, but instead, Amber sought beauty, goodness, and relationships. She joined the Apprenticeship to Jesus community; she met Sanghoon Yoo and accepted his invitation of mentorship; she wrote songs and stories rooted in healing and hope. And when it was time, Amber chose forgiveness over anger. Listen in as Amber shares her incredible story with vulnerability and wisdom.Amber and her husband, Justan, live in the Phoenix area with their twin daughters and son. With her children all in school, Amber is investing more time in her creative side. You can enjoy her work at:Amber's songs: amberhunter.bandcamp.comAmber's written work: amberhunter.medium.com

There's concern about how many people drop out of apprenticeships, according to new reports. Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds has told a conference more than half of trainees aren't completing training. She says it's driven by a number of reasons, but she's pointing the finger at the previous Government incentivising training. Simmonds says it means many signed up despite not being that interested - and didn't complete their apprenticeship. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThe salon industry is shifting faster than most owners realize. In Part 1 of our 2026 Predictions series, we talked about education, AI, and client expectations. In Part 2, we're diving into the structural issues shaping the next chapter of our industry: employment models, salon operations, and profitability.This episode explores why certain business models will struggle, why others will grow, and what forward-thinking salon owners must build now to remain relevant and profitable.We break down the rental bubble, the future of commission salons, the implosion of hybrid models, the comeback of apprenticeships, the KPIs that finally matter, and why pricing must shift from emotion to math.If you're a salon owner, renter, future owner, or someone watching the industry and wondering where you fit in — this episode will help you see the landscape clearly and prepare your business for what's coming.Your business should serve you so that you can serve others — but that requires purpose, structure, and leadership. Let's build the future intentionally.Key TakeawaysGreat stylists are built through consultation, listening, and consistency — not just skill.Big salon problems are almost always a stack of small problems that went unaddressed.The rental bubble is correcting — not because rentals are bad, but because renters aren't equipped.Commission salons without innovation, systems, or leadership will continue to fail.Hybrid models will implode as states tighten enforcement and salon culture fractures.Apprenticeships will surge — they produce stronger stylists, culture buy-in, and retention.Licensure does not guarantee professionalism; businesses create standards, not boards.Culture and stability become major differentiators for stylists seeking long-term homes.Pricing must shift from emotion → math + cost-to-deliver + profit margins.Leadership — communication, feedback, coaching — becomes the salon owner's most valuable skill.Purpose drives performance: clarity → trust → buy-in → growth.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + Part 2 focus (models, operations, profit) 01:00 — Preview of Part 3 02:00 — Opening Takes (good stylists, stacked problems) 05:30 — Why “everyone wants to rent” is a symptom 07:00 — Rental bubble reality + why many renters struggle 10:00 — Commission salons: why they fail + what must change 13:00 — Hybrid model collapse (culture, operations, compliance) 16:00 — Apprenticeships return + why they outperform school 19:00 — Licensure misconceptions + professionalism gaps 21:00 — Culture + stability become key differentiators 23:00 — Why people really leave salons (not money) 24:00 — Profitability + flexibility can coexist 26:00 — Foundations: mission, vision, values 29:00 — Systems replace guesswork 30:00 — KPIs mature: beyond rebooking/retail 33:00 — Pricing becomes math, not emotion 37:00 — Specialists outperform generalists 40:00 — Leadership becomes the owner's highest-value skill 45:00 — Purpose drives performance + closingLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

In this conversation, Randi Wolfe and Harry Leech unpack the promise of apprenticeship, systemic reforms needed to unlock its full potential, the hurdles to aligning apprenticeships with college coursework and degrees, and why building the capacity of intermediaries is essential to expand U.S. apprenticeships to the scale, reach, and impact seen in the U.K. and other nations.

At some point, every one of us becomes “the bad guy” — the person who says no, sets a line in the sand, or disappoints someone who wanted a little too much. And truthfully? That's a good thing. In this episode, Brett breaks down why being willing to let people down is essential if you want to keep your sanity, your focus, and your self-respect. Because saying yes to everything doesn't make you a better leader, coach, or friend — it just makes you a doormat. We've all seen how it happens: someone asks for a small favor here or there, and before you know it, your time, energy, and attention are getting siphoned off in a hundred directions that don't serve your goals. This conversation is about drawing the line, protecting what actually matters, and remembering that you're not supposed to serve everyone. Sometimes, being the “bad guy” is what keeps you effective, grounded, and able to keep doing the work that actually helps people long-term.

Our glorious tradition was perpetuated from generation to generation, from teacher to student, from parent to child, for thousands of years. One of the ways to acquire wisdom is by studying under the tutelage of a great Sage. This Ethics Podcast was originally released on the Ethics Podcast on Jan 8, 2023 – – – […]

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, "that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort." As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

This episode offers practical discipleship insights, thought-provoking discussion questions, and encouragement for your spiritual growth. Whether you're studying alone or with a small group, you'll be challenged to hear God's Word, accept it, and bear fruit in your daily life.

In this interview, we chat with Dr Anna Morrison CBE, founder and director of Amazing Apprenticeships. Anna is a leading voice in the education and skills sector, with over 25 years' experience championing apprenticeships, widening opportunity and shaping vocational pathways for young people. Anna debunks numerous common misconceptions about apprenticeships, broadens our understanding of the diverse opportunities available, and highlights how the sector has transformed in recent years. She explores what apprenticeships look like today, who they're for, how young people can apply, and what schools and families can do to support informed, confident decision-making. This conversation offers practical insights for parents, carers and educators, and shines a light on the expanding possibilities apprenticeships provide for learners of all ages.

Both share personal stories and reflect on evolving family dynamics, shifting educational landscapes, and the lasting impact of self-directed learning.Key Topics Discussed:Personal updates: Changes in Alice and Heidi's families, including children moving out, volunteering, and new interests.Navigating transitions: How unschooled children find their paths as they approach adulthood, and the non-linear, organic nature of their journeys.Alternative pathways: Apprenticeships, volunteering, non-traditional routes to degrees and careers, and the importance of following personal interests.Lifelong learning for all: The ongoing process of learning and adapting, not just for children but for parents as well.The importance of mentorship, community, and diverse milestones, rather than rigid educational timelines.Parent reflections: Modeling adaptability, embracing uncertainty, and finding joy in watching children take the lead.Listener Takeaways:There is no single pathway to successful adulthood for unschooled children; self-knowledge, agency, and confidence are key.Community support, mentorship, and real-life examples can reassure and inspire families at all stages.Trusting the process and permitting organic growth often yields surprising and positive outcomes.Alice Khimaisahttps://organic-education.co.uk/https://linktr.ee/alicekhimasiaResourcesFind the Unschooling Village Hub and resources for unschooling families: liveplaylearn.orgThank you for listening to Unschooling Conversations.

People pleasing -  we've all seen it before (whether we recognized it or not) - constantly being agreeable, always saying yes, never setting any boundaries - all to the point of self-destruction.  If you haven't experienced it yourself, it's likely you've witnessed someone else demonstrate these behaviors. And although it may have short-term benefits, we know that these self-destructive tendencies are not sustainable, and can lead to mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion and burnout. If this is something you think you might struggle with, or if you know someone who does, today's episode provides a wide variety of perspectives on what “people pleasing” can look like in the day to day world, a number of root causes, and a handful of different solutions you can use to help you manage these behaviors. More specifically, I dive into: Quotes that hit - some of the most impactful sound bites I've heard on the topic What drives you?  How our drives can lead us into unhealthy people pleasing behaviors The downside to many of the mainstream self-help resources that address the topic The necessary self-reflection that has to take place before we can make long-lasting behavioral changes Referenced Resources: E210: Assertiveness: How To Ask For What You Want & Get What You Need E207: How Perception Impacts Communication & Relationships E208: Robert Greene: Mastering Human Nature and Facing Your Flaws E200: What To Do When Trying To Help Makes Stuff Worse E176: When Positive Thinking Doesn't Work E22: The Value of Self-Doubt E130: How Understanding Drives Helps Build Buy-In Quiz: What Drives You?

The story, set in the 17th Century during the reign of Louis XIII in France, concerns the progress of an impoverished nobleman as he ventures forth into a series of dangerous adventures which culminate in the restoration of his true noble social position. In today's parlance the story might be described as an action romance. The protagonist happens to become involved a group of travelling actors whom he accompanies in his search for himself. There are a number of similarities with Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship". Among the troupe of actors is a young woman with whom he falls deeply in love, which sustains him in his quest for social restoration. The novel idealises hereditary nobility. There is a happy ending for all, in which aristocratic society is vindicated.Translated by F.

Story Transcript:No: I hjertet av en livlig middelaldersk markedsplass sto smia, varm og full av liv.En: In the heart of a lively medieval marketplace stood the forge, warm and full of life.No: Den intense klangen av metall mot metall fylte luften.En: The intense clanging of metal against metal filled the air.No: Flammene danset i peisen, kastet et gyllent lys over Eirik, smedens ivrige læregutt.En: Flames danced in the fireplace, casting a golden light over Eirik, the blacksmith's eager apprentice.No: Hans oppgave var stor: å lage et sett med utsmykkede jerne lanterner til den kommende vinterfestivalen.En: His task was significant: to create a set of ornate iron lanterns for the upcoming winter festival.No: Det var høst, og fargerike blader drysset ned som regn fra himmelen, dekket torget som en spraglete teppe.En: It was autumn, and colorful leaves drizzled down like rain from the sky, covering the square like a mottled carpet.No: Alle handlet hektisk for å forberede seg til festivalen.En: Everyone was busily preparing for the festival.No: Eirik hadde et brennende ønske om å imponere både sin mester, Kari, og festivalens adelige gjester.En: Eirik had a burning desire to impress both his master, Kari, and the festival's noble guests.No: Han drømte om at hans lanterner skulle bli de mest beundrede.En: He dreamed that his lanterns would be the most admired.No: Men smia hadde problemer.En: But the forge faced problems.No: Forsyningene var lavere enn forventet.En: Supplies were lower than expected.No: Jernet var knapp, og tiden var kort.En: Iron was scarce, and time was short.No: Eirik visste at han måtte være kreativ.En: Eirik knew he had to be creative.No: Med resolutt beslutsomhet valgte han å bruke gammelt jernskrap, gjenbruke hvert eneste bit til noe nytt og vakkert.En: With resolute determination, he chose to use old iron scraps, repurposing each piece into something new and beautiful.No: Nattevakter ble hans faste følge, måneskinn hans arbeidslys.En: Night shifts became his constant companions, moonlight his work light.No: Solveig, hans venn og tålmodige tilskuer, kom av og til for å gi ham litt nybakt brød og oppmuntrende ord.En: Solveig, his friend and patient observer, occasionally came by to give him some freshly baked bread and encouraging words.No: Hun beundret Eiriks utholdenhet og ønske om perfeksjon.En: She admired Eirik's perseverance and desire for perfection.No: Dagene gikk, og festivalen nærmet seg raskt.En: Days passed, and the festival approached quickly.No: Eirik arbeidet uten pause, hamret og bendet metallet med presisjon.En: Eirik worked without pause, hammering and bending the metal with precision.No: Sakte, men sikkert, tok lanterne etter lanterne form.En: Slowly but surely, lantern after lantern took shape.No: Like før festivalens begynnelse, med støv i håret og sot på kinnene, sto han der med de vakre lanternene fullførte.En: Just before the start of the festival, with dust in his hair and soot on his cheeks, he stood there with the beautiful lanterns completed.No: Men plutselig, mens han beundret sitt arbeid, hørte han en skarp lyd.En: But suddenly, while he admired his work, he heard a sharp sound.No: Én lanterne falt til bakken og fikk en stygg bulk.En: One lantern fell to the ground, creating an ugly dent.No: Eirik kjente panikken stige.En: Eirik felt panic rise.No: Tiden var knapp, og han kunne ikke lage den om igjen.En: Time was tight, and he couldn't make it again.No: Hans hjerte sank, men Solveig, som hadde vært der hele tiden, satte en hånd på skulderen hans.En: His heart sank, but Solveig, who had been there the whole time, placed a hand on his shoulder.No: "Det er vakkert," sa hun rolig og så ned på lanternene.En: "It's

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, "that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort." As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

Mark 3 — Key Events 1. Jesus Heals on the Sabbath In the synagogue, Jesus encounters a man with a withered hand. The religious leaders watch closely, hoping to accuse Him. Jesus asks: “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” When they remain silent, He heals the man — revealing God's heart for compassion over legalism. 2. Crowds Follow Jesus From Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and beyond, people come to see Jesus. His miracles draw many, and even unclean spirits declare Him the Son of God. 3. Jesus Appoints the Twelve Apostles Jesus calls and appoints twelve men to be His closest followers, sending them out to preach and giving them authority to cast out demons: Simon Peter James & John (Sons of Thunder) Andrew Philip Bartholomew Matthew Thomas James son of Alphaeus Thaddaeus Simon the Zealot Judas Iscariot 4. Confrontation with Religious Leaders The scribes accuse Jesus of working by the power of Satan. Jesus responds with the famous teaching: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” He warns against blaspheming the Holy Spirit — a sin with eternal consequences. 5. Redefining Family When His mother and brothers come looking for Him, Jesus declares: “Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

Nicholas Wyman, executive director of the Institute for Workforce Skills and Innovation, describes the value that apprenticeships offer in addressing disability employment disparities. In doing so, he describes the obstacles that people with disabilities face in seeking employment, whether outright discriminatory assumptions or longstanding practices that may have good intentions but have adverse consequences for people with disabilities. It is vital with continued skilled labor shortages for employers to rethink the application processes and coordinated support systems to enable disabled people to succeed in inclusive apprenticeships.

Two recent Pathfinders Apprenticeship graduates share about the call of God on their lives and how the Apprenticeship helped unlock their full potential.

We all get busy. Work piles up, routines take over, and before you know it, years have gone by since you last checked in with people who actually mattered to you. This episode is a reminder — and a bit of a kick in the ass — that it doesn't take much to change that. You don't need a reason, a holiday, or the “right time.” Just reach out. Call someone you haven't talked to in five or ten years. Shoot a text. Reconnect. The longer you wait, the harder it gets, and the truth is, life's too unpredictable to assume you'll always get another chance. This one's short, direct, and human. No fluff. Just a practical reminder to stop overthinking it and make the damn call.

Episode Title: LearningScripture Reading: Romans 12:2, John 8:31 ESVSeries: The “L” Fruits of JesusDisciples of Jesus are learners—the learning never stops! This week, we dive into the second "L" fruit of Jesus, the fruit of Learning, and explore the two ways disciples are called to learn and grow in Christ. Romans 12:2 gives us two ways of learning, both starting with the letter "I":1. Information: This method, associated with Hellenism, focuses on the renewal of your mind. Disciples are called to be faithful learners by meditating on God's Word, looking for a daily God nugget, and internalizing media that is pure and commendable.2. Imitation: This method, associated with Hebraism, focuses on not being conformed to this world, but imitating Christ. Just as an apprentice learns by observing and patterning their life after their rabbi, disciples learn by apprenticing themselves to Jesus, who says, "learn from me".Ultimately, disciples don't conform to the world; we conform to Christ by renewing our minds and apprenticing ourselves to the gentle Master, Jesus

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women.

Movie reviews #547 more 70's films we chuckin in the (Done) pile.1 (Heartbreak Kid 1972) Elaine May directs this strong movie, I just wouldn't, call it a comedy. We can all see in Jeannie Berlin's acting, that it is not funny how she is treated by said Heartbreak Kid.2 (The mad adventures of Rabbi Jacob 1973) This was a fake out for me, as it is not a movie about a Rabbi gettin into adventures, but instead it's about this goofy French guy, whom if memory serves, is a jerk. This one's zany and there's a vat of gum!3 (The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz 1974). Richard Dreyfuss, French Actress Michelle Lancot, Randy Quaid, and the rad Bowling coach from the 1979 hit movie Dreamer star in this movie where ya wish old Duddy would seriously get his head out of his ass.4 (Mahler 1974) Jesus stars in this weird Ken Russell film about…………….Gustav Mahler. He looks back on his life while on a train.5 (Wrong Move 1975) I guess this Wim Wenders did a lot for German Cinema, good, but for me the Wrong Move is not watching (The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum) another German film that came out the same year.6 (Nickelodeon 1976) Here we have Ryan O'Neal, Burt Reynolds,Tatum O'Neal, and the Boss of Mr. French in this film about how 2 bumbling guys accidentally become some of the first American filmmakers ever. This is a Peter Bogdanovich film.7 (Lovey a circle of friends part II 1978) Jane Alexander and Timothy Hutton's Dad in Taps star in this important sequel to an important movie about how we deal with children with disabilities, not perfect, but at the time vital to show the world a better way than the medieval torture that came before. Medieval torture may not even be strong enough to describe the horrible ways people were treated in those institutions.Thanks for listening friends, let the people know there's been a 70's film podcast out there pluggin away for……about 7 years?

Logic rarely wins people over — emotion does.   In this episode, Brett breaks down the timeless principles of persuasion through the lens of a real NIL recruiting scenario, showing why even great offers fall flat when they don't connect to what truly drives human decision-making.   You'll learn how to see through the surface — beyond talking points, incentives, or facts — and understand the emotional and psychological levers that make people say “yes.”    Whether you're trying to recruit an athlete, land a client, lead a team, or communicate more effectively in everyday life, this episode helps you navigate the human side of influence ethically and with purpose.   ⸻   What You'll Learn   •Why people make emotional decisions first and use logic only to justify them.   •The psychological laws that govern real-world persuasion.   •How to identify the intangibles — what people actually care about beneath the surface (certainty, familiarity, belonging, recognition, identity).   •Why people choose what feels safe over what's superior.   •How to reduce uncertainty and create emotional clarity in any decision-making environment.   •The difference between ethical influence and manipulation — and how to guide choices responsibly.   •How to find “the missing variable” in your pitch, presentation, or recruiting approach.   If you found this helpful, check out:   •The Apprenticeship – our live workshop on communication and influence.   •Speaker School – for anyone who wants to present and persuade more effectively.   •Join our community at ArtofCoaching.com/community for bonus materials and episode breakdowns.

David Clancy is a world-class sports physio and author who's taken more than a few sharp turns in his career. He's had to face the same questions many of us wrestle with: Do I stay in the safe lane or risk starting over? How do I manage different passions without spreading myself too thin? What do I do with that voice in my head telling me I don't belong?   In this episode, David and I dig into the practical side of career pivots and personal growth, including:   •The real reasons people avoid changing direction—even when they know they're unhappy.   •How to make a career shift without blowing up everything you've built.   •Why imposter phenomenon can be a sign you're on the right track, and how to keep it from paralyzing you.   •The challenge of chasing multiple passions and what filters help you decide what's worth pursuing.   •How relationships—not networking, but genuine ones—end up making or breaking your next move.   •The skill of listening, and why it matters more than being the smartest person in the room.   This isn't theory. It's a conversation packed with examples you can relate to if you've ever thought about pivoting, felt stuck in a role you've outgrown, or struggled with the noise of self-doubt.
