What if defiance wasn't a flaw, but a skill? In this episode, Dr. Sunita Sah—physician, behavioural scientist, and author of Defy—shares how reclaiming agency and redefining what it means to say “no” can change the trajectory of our lives. Raised to equate goodness with compliance, Sunita's journey is a powerful reminder that being agreeable often comes at a cost: to our integrity, our well-being, and our sense of self.We explore the psychology behind why we say yes when we mean no, the invisible social pressures that shape our decisions, and why discomfort is a sign—not of weakness, but of wisdom. Sunita offers a practical five-stage framework for living in alignment with your values, and explains how simple tools like pausing before responding or speaking to yourself in the third person can help you make braver, truer choices.This conversation is a compassionate guide for people-pleasers, quiet rebels, and anyone who has ever struggled to hold their ground. A bountiful life, as Sunita reveals, isn't lived without tension—it's one where that tension is honoured, examined, and transformed into something meaningful.Episode HighlightsWhy defiance is essential to a meaningful lifeThe difference between compliance, consent, and true defianceHow to find and clarify your personal valuesThe hidden social pressures behind people-pleasing and “yes” cultureFive stages of ethical defiance (from tension to action)Quiet defiance, false defiance, and performative rebellionSaying no with grace—and without over-explainingGuest BioDr. Sunita Sah is a national bestselling author, an award-winning professor at Cornell University and an expert in organizational psychology. She leads groundbreaking research on influence, authority, compliance, and defiance. A trained physician, she practiced medicine in the United Kingdom and worked as a management consultant for the pharmaceutical industry. She currently teaches executives, leaders, and students in healthcare and business. Dr. Sah is a sought-after international speaker and consultant, advisor to government agencies, and former Commissioner of the National Commission on Forensic Science. Her multidisciplinary research and analyses have been widely published in leading academic journals and media entities including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Harvard Business Review, and Scientific American. She lives with her husband and son in New York.The Bountifull Podcast explores how to live a purposeful, joyful life by connecting with interesting people from diverse backgrounds. Each episode unpacks practical wisdom and real stories on themes like boundaries, saying no, psychological safety, compliance, consent, and living in alignment with your values.

The Yellow Temperament with Kathleen Edelman

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22As we wrap up our series on the temperaments and how they impact our financial decisions, we're turning the tables a bit. Today, Kathleen Edelman—who's been our guide through this journey—is taking the host seat to interview Rob West about the Yellow temperament.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.What Is the Yellow Temperament?The yellow temperament, known as sanguine, is characterized by high energy, optimism, and a deep desire for connection. Yellows are extroverted and people-oriented, speaking the language of fun and relationships. They often bring joy, inspiration, and laughter into every environment they enter. However, they also face challenges, particularly in areas such as focus, follow-through, and impulse control.Historically rooted in the work of Hippocrates, the four temperaments offer a timeless framework for understanding how people are wired to think, speak, and listen. The yellow temperament is one of four:Red (Choleric): Task-oriented extroverts, driven by power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Task-oriented introverts, focused on perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): People-oriented introverts, seeking calm and harmony.Yellow (Sanguine): People-oriented extroverts, motivated by fun and connection.How Yellows Communicate and RelateYellows are often described as the life of the party—fun, inspiring, and full of energy. They thrive on being liked, included, and appreciated. They tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and use charm, humor, and emotional connection to relate to others.Their innate needs include:Approval – being accepted for who they are.Acceptance – feeling included and invited.Attention – being given full focus and eye contact.Affection – being acknowledged and appreciated.When these needs are met, yellows radiate joy and creativity. But when unmet, they may seek attention in unhealthy ways or rely on charm to mask insecurity. Understanding these tendencies can help others relate to yellows with empathy and intention—and help yellows themselves pursue healthy, life-giving connections.Financial Habits of the Yellow TemperamentWhen it comes to money, yellows tend to view finances through the lens of spontaneity and enjoyment. They view money as a means to create experiences, give generously, and make memories with others. However, their optimism and impulsiveness can lead to overspending or a lack of strategic planning.Some common financial tendencies of yellows include:Generosity is driven by emotion rather than strategy.Difficulty sticking to strict budgets or long-term plans.A tendency to avoid hard money conversations, especially if there's potential for conflict or disapproval.Using money to strengthen relationships and bring joy.To thrive financially, yellows benefit from tools that provide structure without feeling restrictive, such as flexible budgeting systems, automated savings, or labeled cash envelopes tied to experiences (e.g., “Dinner with Friends”). Framing financial stewardship in terms of purpose, joy, and relational impact helps them stay engaged and motivated.Communication and StewardshipIn conversations—especially around finances—yellows respond best to positive framing and shared vision. They may avoid spreadsheets or conflict, but they are quick to dream, encourage, and cast vision. When invited into planning that includes moments of celebration or generosity, they are more likely to stay committed.In leadership or ministry settings, yellows often bring energy and hope to conversations. They are natural encouragers and communicators, able to uplift others with genuine warmth and presence. However, they may need accountability partners or systems to help with follow-through and details.Understanding their own temperament also enables yellows to listen more intentionally. With tools like Edelman's workbook, they can better identify the temperaments of others and respond in ways that build connection and clarity, both at work and at home.The yellow temperament is a vibrant and life-giving expression of God's creative design. While yellows may struggle with structure and impulse, they bring essential gifts of joy, vision, and generosity. With the right tools and a deeper self-awareness, they can become faithful stewards who reflect the heart of Christ, not just in their relationships, but also in how they give, plan, and lead.For a deeper dive into all four temperaments and how they relate to stewardship, relationships, and communication, explore Kathleen Edelman's featured article in our Faithful Steward magazine.

Would it be wise to start converting some of those traditional funds into Roth now—even if it means taking a tax hit—to avoid higher taxes in retirement?I'm 40 years old and have several 401(k) accounts from former employers. I've received mixed advice—some financial advisors say I can't consolidate them into a single account, while another is recommending I move them into a hedge fund that claims to offer a 15–17% return. What should I do?A few years ago, we loaned our son and his wife money to build a tiny home. They're now selling it at a loss to a third party. Are there any sales tax or personal tax consequences we—or our son—should be aware of in this situation?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication by Kathleen EdelmanWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Followers of Jesus should be the BEST LEADERS on the planet.Jesus is the GREATEST LEADERSHIP MODEL of all time.Leadership is INFLUENCEIf leadership is influence, then no one has influenced our world more thanJESUS.The HEART of a LEADER.Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows fromit.WHATHOWWHY1. RESPONSIBILITY Based leadership-you feel responsible to SERVEand CARE for the people you lead.2. REWARDS based leadership-you want to be rewarded by the PERKSand POWER of leading.When you BEND down to SERVE, God will LIFT you up to LEAD.Matthew 20:20-27 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sonsand, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. “What is it you want?” he asked. Shesaid, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the otherat your left in your kingdom.”   “You don't know what you are asking,” Jesus saidto them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered.Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right orleft is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have beenprepared by my Father.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant withthe two brothers.   Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers ofthe Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority overthem. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you mustbe your servant,   and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—SERVANT-focused on doing things for others rather than for oneself.SLAVE-someone bound to obey their master's commands and teaching.If you lead for ANY reason other than to SERVE OTHERS, you will never bea GREAT LEADER.It is impossible to LEAD like Jesus if you won't SERVE like Jesus.Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, andto give his life as a ransom for many.”Servant Leader vs Reward Centered Leader1. Servant leaders are always trying to make OTHER PEOPLE look good.Reward centered leaders don't want OTHERS to look good, onlyTHEMSELVES.2. Servant Leaders find their approval in one place: GOD.Reward centered leaders believe:My PERFORMANCE + the APPROVAL of others = SELF-WORTH3. Servant leaders LOVE hard or negative feedback because it allows them toIMPROVE for the benefit of others.Reward centered leaders DESPISE hard or negative feedback because it is allABOUT THEM.So what keeps us from being a servant leader?- PRIDE- FEARProverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts inthe Lord is kept safe.When you BEND DOWN to serve, God can LIFT YOU UP to LEAD.

In this episode, we're talking all about approval-seeking—aka: why we do it, how it shows up in our lives, and why it hurts our self-worth.So many of us are constantly looking for validation from other people to feel okay about ourselves. And I get it, because I've been there too—saying yes when I wanted to say no, apologizing for things that didn't need an apology, or even stressing over something as simple as what nail color to choose because I was worried someone might disapprove.In this episode, we talk where this approval-seeking really comes from,  why it chips away at our self-worth, and what to do about it! Because here's the thing: approval-seeking isn't who you are. It's a habit you learned. Which means you can unlearn it.Questions:Where in my life do I notice myself trying to earn approval or validation? (What does approval-seeking look like for me at work… in my family… in my relationships… on social media… in my appearance…)What situations trigger my need to be liked or accepted?Whose approval do I crave the most? Why?How do I feel in my body when I'm seeking approval and when I've done what others want me to do?

Leaked Language from Newsom's Office: SEC. 7. Section 21080.80 is added to the Public Resources Code, to read: 21080.80. (a) This division shall not apply to the approval by the Geologic Energy Management Division of a notice of intention under Section 3203 to commence drilling a new well, to the extent this division would otherwise apply, if all of the following requirements are met: (1) Approval of the notice of intention is not part of a project for which there is already a certified, complete, and valid environmental impact report or an adopted, complete, and valid negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration. (2) The wellhead for the new well to be drilled is located within an established oil and gas field, as identified by the Geologic Energy Management Division. (3) The wellhead for the new well to be drilled is not located within a health protection zone, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 3280. (4) Activities approved under the notice of intention for a new well will not require an individual take permit for species protected under the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. Sec. 1531 et seq.) or the California Endangered Species Act (Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 2050) of Division 3 of the Fish and Game Code). (5) Activities approved under the notice of intention for a new well will not require a streambed alteration permit pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 1600) of Division 2 of the Fish and Game Code. (6) The wellhead location for the new well to be drilled has no cultural or historic resources present, as determined by a qualified archeologist based on a pedestrian ground surface survey demonstrating no cultural or historic resources are present at the site. (7) (A) Before the new well is drilled, two other wells, as defined in Section 3008, shall be plugged and abandoned. (i) One of the wells to be plugged and abandoned shall have a wellhead located in the same oil and gas field as the new well, as determined by the Geologic Energy Management Division. (ii) The other well to be plugged and abandoned shall have a wellhead located in a health protection zone, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 3280. (iii) A well that has already been identified in any idle well elimination plan described in Section 3206 shall not count for the plugging and abandonment required pursuant to this paragraph. A well plugged and abandoned under the requirements of this paragraph shall not subsequently count for compliance with an idle well elimination plan described in Section 3206. (B) The notice of intention submitted for the replacement well shall identify the two wells that have been plugged and abandoned in accordance with Section 3208 and that satisfy the conditions in subparagraph (A).

In today's episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Arndt Vogel, MD, about the European Commission's (EC's) July 2025 marketing authorization of zanidatamab-hrii (Ziihera) for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive biliary tract cancer. Dr Vogel is a faculty member at the University of Toronto Institute of Medical Science, a scientist at the Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, and a medical oncologist at the UHN–Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Canada. In our exclusive interview, Dr Vogel highlighted the clinical importance of this decision, emphasizing that it represents a significant advancement for a molecularly defined subgroup of patients with limited treatment options and historically poor outcomes. He explained that biliary tract cancers, including cholangiocarcinoma, are associated with high recurrence rates and poor survival, even in patients who undergo curative-intent surgery. For patients in the advanced setting, second-line chemotherapy offers modest clinical benefit, with objective response rates of approximately 6%, a median progression-free survival of approximately 3 months, and a median overall survival of approximately 12 months. Vogel discussed the data supporting the EC's approval, which was based on findings from the phase 2b HERIZON-BTC-01 trial (NCT04466891)—the largest study conducted to date evaluating HER2-directed therapy in this patient population. In the trial, at a median follow-up of 21.9 months, patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive tumors (n = 80) who received zanidatamab achieved a confirmed objective response rate (cORR) of 41.3% (95% CI, 30.4-52.8). The median duration of response was 14.9 months (95% CI, 7.4-not reached), and the median overall survival reached 15.5 months (95% CI, 10.4-18.5).

In this intense segment, hosts dissect the political fallout from Donald Trump's handling of the Epstein files controversy. Once commanding overwhelming Republican loyalty, Trump now faces a dramatic 12-point drop in approval ratings, threatening his grip on Congress. The discussion reveals how Trump's public dismissals of the Epstein issue, coupled with Republican votes to block file releases, have alienated his core supporters more than any “deep state” attack. The transcript exposes the behind-the-scenes fear of CIA reprisals, internal party contradictions, and the paradox of a booming economy overshadowed by self-inflicted scandals.

From celebrating unprecedented wins—like defunding USAID and outmaneuvering entrenched intelligence agencies—to grappling with an imploding approval rating, the conversation exposes how the Epstein controversy has triggered a catastrophic backlash among Trump's own supporters. Despite court victories and economic resilience, Trump's relentless commentary and Republicans' votes to block Epstein file releases have overshadowed any momentum. As fear of CIA retaliation collides with fear of Trump himself, the GOP finds itself trapped in an unprecedented, self-inflicted credibility crisis.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    What do you love the most? A certain type of food? Your spouses hips or lips? Your job? The money you make? Your biceps? Your ministry? Your 1953 corvette? Your brand-new Mercedes? Your girlfriend? Alcohol? Drugs? Your phone?  Or maybe it is far worse than that? Maybe you are in love with…. Thats where we are going today!   What are you in love with… a lot of answers come to mind… but I believe they all stem from one basic foundation. We love to be approved by others. We love others approval. And we are willing to do just about anything to get it.    The approval of other people is so important to most because it's deeply rooted in fundamental human psychological and evolutionary needs. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons: 1. Evolutionary and Survival Instincts: Historical Necessity: For much of human history, belonging to a group or tribe was essential for survival. Being accepted meant access to resources, protection from threats, and the ability to find a mate and raise offspring. Rejection from the group could be a death sentence. This deep-seated fear of rejection and need for acceptance has been passed down through generations. Social Connection: Humans are inherently social creatures. Our brains are wired for connection, and social interaction plays a crucial role in our well-being. Approval from others reinforces our sense of belonging and validates our place within a community. 2. Psychological Needs: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: The need for belongingness and love, and then esteem, are fundamental human needs in Maslow's hierarchy, ranking above basic physiological and safety needs. Approval from others contributes directly to these levels, making us feel loved, accepted, and valued. Self-Esteem and Self-Worth: For many, external validation acts as a mirror, reflecting back a sense of their own worth. When we receive approval, compliments, or praise, it can boost our confidence and reaffirm our abilities. Conversely, a lack of approval or criticism can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Fear of Rejection and Judgment: This is a powerful motivator. Many people seek approval to avoid the pain of being rejected, criticized, or judged. This fear can stem from childhood experiences where acceptance felt conditional. Dopamine Release: Receiving external validation, like likes on social media or compliments, can trigger the release of dopamine, a "feel-good" neurotransmitter in the brain. This creates a temporary sense of pleasure and satisfaction, which can lead to a desire to repeat behaviors that elicit this response. Social Comparison: We often compare ourselves to others to gauge our own performance, appearance, and social standing. Seeking approval can be a way to ensure we measure up favorably in these comparisons. 3. Childhood Experiences: Early Conditioning: Our early experiences, particularly with caregivers, heavily influence our need for approval. Children who receive consistent approval and validation tend to develop a stronger internal sense of self-worth. Those who experience neglect, criticism, or conditional acceptance may grow up with a persistent need for external validation. Learning Behavior: As children, we naturally look to our parents for recognition and validation when we accomplish something. This teaches us that external feedback is a way to understand if we've done "a good thing." 4. Societal and Cultural Factors: Social Norms: Society often has unspoken rules and expectations. Conforming to these norms can lead to increased social acceptance. Deviating from them can result in social exclusion. Social Media: The digital age has intensified the pursuit of approval. Platforms that revolve around "likes," "shares," and comments provide constant opportunities for external validation, which can become addictive and lead to an unhealthy reliance on others' opinions for self-worth.   Botton line is this - you seek peoples approval because you don't know you you have Gods approval.  Look one of my favorite memories is competing as a powerlifter and pulling 670 in Masters division one - it was a grind… drug free, no suit, just me and the iron - and when I was done I had Donnie Thompson who was at the judges table taking numbers call me over and tell me that it was a great lift. Donnie thompson is on the mount Rushmore of powerlifters. The first one ever to hit a 3000 pound total. When he says Great lift - it doens't really matter what anyone else thinks. He is the king of powerlifting. Well we serve another king who is the King of the world, the universe… and when we know we have his approval - nothing else matters.  Galatians 1:10 Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant. OOOHhhhh this is sooo good. Did you catch it? You serve the one who's approval you seek. So whomever you are hoping to be approved by - you will do whatever it takes to show them you are their servant. The world loves suckers like you.  I live my life on one simple rule… If I know my relationship with God is good… then I don't give two cats meows about what anyone else thinks about me, what I do, what I say, where I go, what I believe in, what I stand for or what I preach or post on social media. I don't care - because God approves of me.  How do you know God approves of you? Well you don't earn it. You don't have to be special, you don't have to be good enough… you simply trust in his grace and his work on the cross. And here is the real secret, when you know you have Gods approval, you are free to be exactly who he created you to be.

In this episode, Chris Paul and Ghost dissect the week's most controversial stories, starting with the DOJ's decision to file an antitrust statement of interest against the Trusted News Initiative. They explain how RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense lawsuit accuses Big Tech and legacy media of colluding to censor dissent and shut out competitors. The conversation shifts to the FDA's approval of Moderna's Spikevax shot for young children, sparking outrage over continued mandates for a virus the hosts argue was always exaggerated. They dive into the chaos at Elon Musk's X platform, where Grok AI versions 3 and 4 ignited firestorms by spouting antisemitic rants about Israel, prompting CEO Linda Yaccarino's abrupt resignation. With perfect timing, the meltdown coincided with Netanyahu's tense visit to Washington and a flood of speculation about orchestrated psyops. The show also explores how AI censorship works across every topic, from election narratives to health policy, and why Substack and Twitter have become the new fronts for narrative warfare. On the geopolitical side, they break down Trump's move to hand weapons to NATO rather than Ukraine, Israel's internal power struggles, and Europe's hollow nuclear threats. Packed with humor and big-picture analysis, this episode challenges every official storyline.

What do you do when your values get tested—and the cost of staying true is real? This episode is about the moments that reveal who you actually are—not who you say you are. Not the version that shows up in your journal, on your vision board, or in your next coaching session. But the version that steps forward when life applies pressure. Because the truth is, your growth isn't proven by how many books you've read or breakthroughs you've had. It's proven by how you respond when staying in alignment comes with consequences. When your principles aren't popular. When the easy path tempts you with comfort, validation, and old habits. In this conversation, I share a personal story that challenged me to walk my talk in a deeply uncomfortable way. It involved family, identity, and a decision that didn't earn me applause—but did bring me closer to integrity. If you've ever felt the pull between being who you've always been and becoming who you say you want to be—this one is for you. Especially if you're the one people look to for answers, strength, or leadership. Because the pressure you're under? That's not a problem. That's the invitation. Let's talk about what it really means to stand on your principles when no one else is standing with you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
