In this episode of The Segment, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Greg Mitchell, Application Administration Manager at Spokane Teachers Credit Union (STCU), for a candid, insightful look at what it really takes to drive security and innovation inside a modern, mission-driven financial institution.Greg shares how his team is building resilience from the inside out—applying zero trust principles not as a buzzword, but as a practical, culture-driven framework for protecting core systems. From his roots in school district IT to leading major modernization efforts at STCU, Greg walks us through what it means to lead with intention, assume breach, and drive results with lean teams and strong partnerships.You'll learn:Why disaster recovery isn't a one-time exercise, but a team muscle worth training How segmentation led to better cross-team relationships—not just better security The power of small wins (and small apps) to kickstart transformation Why enforcement beats perfection when it comes to securing infrastructure What zero trust really looks like in day-to-day operations—and how to start using tools you already have How STCU is approaching cloud expansion with Illumio

Send us a textIn this episode of Dear HR Diary, Dawn sits down with Sara Taylor to get real about workplace civility—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's the foundation of healthy culture. We dig into cultural competence, how polarization is showing up at work, and a powerful mindset shift—assuming differences—that helps leaders communicate across identities, generations, and viewpoints. If you're tired of “be nice” posters and want practical tools that actually change behavior, this one's for you.What You'll LearnCultural Competence 101: How identity, context, and power shape everyday interactions (and why “treat everyone the same” backfires).Civility vs. Niceness: Civility = respect + accountability + boundaries. Niceness alone won't save your culture.Polarization at Work: Spot the warning signs (us-vs-them language, meeting silos, performative emails) and what leaders can do immediately.Assume Differences: A simple habit to reduce friction, improve listening, and make feedback land without drama.Manager Moves: Scripts, norms, and micro-behaviors that turn values into daily practice.“Civility isn't about being agreeable—it's about being accountable for how our behavior affects other people.” — Sara Taylor Practical TakeawaysAdopt a civility standard: “We address issues directly, we don't label people, and we separate intent from impact.” Put it in team norms.Use the two-step check: 1) Assume difference (experience, context, language). 2) Ask before assuming (“Can you share how you're seeing this?”).Meeting hygiene: Agenda, time boxes, speak-order rotation, “one mic at a time,” and a 2-minute debrief: What worked? What to adjust?Feedback formula: Behavior → Impact → Ask. “When deadlines move without notice (behavior), the field team misses windows (impact). What can we change next sprint? (ask)”Red/Yellow/Green topics: Identify which conversations are safe to debate now (green), need prep (yellow), or require facilitation (red).Resources for ListenersBooksThe Culture Map (Erin Meyer) – Navigating cross-cultural communication.Thanks for the Feedback (Stone & Heen) – Receiving feedback without combusting.Guides & ToolkitsPsychological Safety primers (Amy Edmondson talks/articles).Meeting norms templates (RACI, Working Agreements, and Team Charter one-pagers).Connect with Sara TaylorWebsite: https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarajanetaylor/Email:  sara@deepseeconsulting.com Sara's Book: https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/thinking-at-the-speed-of-biasCall to ActionIf you want fewer eye-rolls and more buy-in, start with civility.

Why do you spiral when a text takes too long, when someone says “okay” instead of “okay!” or when plans change? That's your brain writing rejection stories to protect you. The problem?

Most real estate agents and vendors pour their energy into chasing new clients, but the real money isn't in the hunt; it's in what happens after the contract is signed.  How you handle a client from the moment they say “yes” determines everything.  The mistake most people make is treating the sale as the destination, when in reality it's the most dangerous moment in the entire relationship.  Right after the purchase is when the client is least likely to buy from you again. So instead of celebrating the sale, we should be getting into action so we don't lose them.  We spend thousands trying to break into the right circles, get in front of the right clients, and finally land the client we've been pursuing. What if we could put that effort towards existing clients and customers?  Too many vendors and partners are focused on gaining new clients. It's actually smarter to turn people who have bought from you before into regulars.  How do we earn people's loyalty? What phases do all customers and clients go through?  In this episode, I reveal strategies to turn a single transaction into a lifetime of business.    Assume that your clients have buyer's remorse right after the sale and keep earning their business over and over again. -Remington Ramsey   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The phases of the customer experience  From sizing you up to becoming your advocate, each stage requires a different strategy. Which of these phases are you neglecting, and how much revenue is slipping away because of it? Buyer's remorse is real, and it's killing retention Signing the deal doesn't mean the client is secure. How do you reinforce their decision in that fragile “what did I just do?” moment before regret takes over?

Will UVA and Liberty continue to find out what happens when you assume by Ed Lane

Face à l'augmentation des taxes douanières et au renforcement de la protection du marché intérieur suisse, la circulation transfrontalière des biens se complexifie considérablement. La Suisse reste l'un des îlots de cherté les plus notoires de la planète. Dans ce contexte économique tendu réapparaît une pratique ancestrale qui n'a jamais véritablement disparu: la contrebande. Fini les courses avantageuses à Annemasse, les soldes à Annecy ou les livres à prix cassés de Pontarlier. Avec la réduction de la limite d'achats non taxés à l'étranger de 300 à 150 CHF, le Conseil fédéral resserre la vis pour protéger le marché intérieur suisse. Mais la Confédération n'a pas toujours été aussi stricte en matière douanière. Au contraire, elle a longtemps été une véritable passoire, allant jusqu'à défendre activement la contrebande! Une histoire transfrontalière et clandestine que nous dévoile notre invité. Avec Cédric Humair, historien de l'économie, auteur de "Développement économique et état central (1815-1914). Un siècle de politique douanière suisse au service des élites" paru aux éditions Peter Lang.

Here are three core lessons that will create the shift you've been waiting for. What would your life look like if you were one thousand percent confident in yourself and cultivated a reality so effortless that success became inevitable?It would probably look like making six figures in under four months or experiencing thirty thousand dollar weeks doing what inspires you.If you're not already experiencing that kind of reality, you probably picked up nonsense from hustle gurus telling you to work harder or spiritual gurus telling you to be more high vibes.You've been down those rabbit holes and it's left you either burned out from stress or resentful toward the universe for not answering your prayers.Here are three core lessons that will create the shift you've been waiting for.

When I invited Or Eshed, CEO and co-founder of LayerX Security, onto Tech Talks Daily, I wanted to challenge a blind spot most teams carry into work each day. We talk about phishing, ransomware, and endpoint controls, yet we skip the place where employees actually live online. The browser. That quiet tab bar has become the front door to identities, payments, SaaS, and now AI. Or calls it a different operating system in its own right, and once you hear his examples of how extensions can intercept cookies, mimic logins, or even meddle with AI chats, the penny drops fast. Here's the thing. Blocking extensions across the board no longer fits how people work. Developers, marketers, sales teams, and support agents all lean on extensions for real productivity gains. Or's argument is simple. If the business depends on extensions, security has to meet people where they are with continuous, risk-based controls inside the browser itself. That means assessing code, permissions, ownership changes, and live behaviors, not relying on a static allow list that grows and grows while attackers slip through the cracks. We also unpack Extensionpedia, LayerX's free resource that lets anyone look up the risk profile of a specific extension. It is part education, part early warning system, and it serves a wider mission to raise the floor for everyone. Or shares how a technology alliance with Google has helped the team analyze extensions at serious scale, and why better data beats clever slogans in a space where signals change hour by hour. Malicious Extensions, AI Shortcuts, And The Culture Shift Security Needs One of the standout moments is a real-world story that starts at home and ends inside a corporate network. A spouse installs a screen-recording extension on a personal device, the browser profile syncs at work, and suddenly corporate credentials and sensitive sessions are mirrored to an untrusted machine. No shadowy APT needed. Just everyday sync doing exactly what it was designed to do. It is messy, human, and exactly why policy needs to be paired with continuous visibility in the browser. We explore the gray zone where productivity tools collide with privacy. Password managers, VPN helpers, and AI-everywhere extensions promise convenience, yet they can scrape data across SaaS apps or sync credentials in ways security leaders never intended. Or's advice is refreshingly pragmatic. Assume extensions are staying. Instrument the browser, score risk in real time, and adapt access based on what an extension actually does, not what it claims on a store page. Looking ahead, Or sees the browser taking an even bigger role as email, SaaS, and AI agents converge in one place. With AI companies building their own browsers, the last mile of user interaction gets denser, faster, and more valuable to protect. If 99 percent of enterprise users already run at least one extension, the task is clear. Know which ones are in play, understand how they behave, and keep policy dynamic. If this conversation sparks a rethink of your own approach, check your extensions in Extensionpedia, and then consider what modern, in-browser controls would look like in your environment. After this episode, you may never look at that tidy row of icons the same way again. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

He shares personal experiences from a recent training session and draws parallels to decision-making processes in sales, emphasizing the need for curiosity, concise communication, and understanding team dynamics. Schaeffer introduces the new ABCs of selling, which focus on being curious, concise, and courteous, while cautioning against making assumptions about decision-makers and their authority.Takeaways—Assuming can lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities.—It's essential to remain open-minded and avoid making assumptions about others' skills or roles.—In sales, decision-making often involves multiple stakeholders, not just the person with the title.—Always ask who else is involved in the decision-making process.—Objections in sales can often be anticipated and addressed upfront.—Effective communication requires curiosity and the ability to listen.—Sales strategies should focus on building consensus among team members.—Avoid using weak language that invites objections.—The new ABCs of selling include being curious, concise, and courteous.—Always be prepared to adapt your approach based on the conversation.Sound bites—"I needed consensus from both."—"Who on your team do you consult with?"—"Assume nothing in sales."Chapters00:00 The Dangers of Assumptions06:03 Understanding Decision-Making in Sales10:56 The New ABCs of SellingUnlock the secrets of sales success by understanding what makes people do the things they do—access your free training: https://wesschaeffer.com/daily12 Weeks To Peak™ starts every month: 12WeeksToPeak.comConnect with me:X -- https://X.com/saleswhispererInstagram -- https://instagram.com/saleswhispererLinkedIn -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/thesaleswhisperer/#TheBJJandBIZPodcast #12WeeksToPeak #SalesTraining #GoalSetting #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthMindset

Geoff and Marie's Good Life: Part 4A forty year warmup.Taking passion to a state of the art.Based on posts by Only In My Mind, in 15 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Main characters.Geoff:   The narrator. A retired materials scientist. Mid-sixties. 5 foot 10 inches, ex amateur rugby player, still swims, runs and walks to keep fit. More than adequately equipped to satisfy his wife.Marie:   Geoff's wife. A retired modern languages lecturer. Same age as her husband. 5 foot 2 inches voluptuous build, with D cup tits and proportionate bum and hips. Shoulder length brown hair, brown eyes and olive skin inherited from her French grandmother.Angie:   Marie's best friend. A mathematician who claims to be retired. Geoff suspects that she still consults as a cryptographer for M I 5 at GCHQ but she won't discuss it. Early sixties. 5 foot 10 inches, slender athletic build. Firm B cup tits, brown hair and famously dirty mind.I sat, rapt, as they explored each other's bodies with their hands as the kiss went on. Angie put her hands on my wife's full round buttocks and pulled her so that their bellies were hard against each other. Marie began to unbutton Angie's blouse to expose the small but perfect tits barely hidden by her tiny lace bra. My wife removed her friends blouse entirely and threw it to me while she slipped the bra straps from her friends shoulders. She reached behind and within seconds the bra flew my way too.They both looked briefly to gauge my response, and smiled as they saw me grinning at them as I held the discarded clothes to my nose. I wasn't being pervy. Their scent was delicious; it was Angie's scent.Seeing that I was still content to watch, it was Angie's turn to undo the tie holding Marie's wrap-around dress and as it fell open we were treated to the sight of her pale blue bra, more substantial than Angie's as it had to do more heavy lifting, and tiny matching briefs. Marie's bra followed her dress and again I buried my nose in the fabric as I let the dress hit the floor. The two women smelled so different. Angie's scent seemed fresh and outdoorsy, Marie's scent was headier and made me think of romantic evenings in bed. The pair fondled each other's tits and drew their hands down each other's bellies but then they stopped and stared at me. Oh, yes, we were testing the ED22.My two, near naked, women stalked across to me and pulled me to my feet. They each took a hand and held it to a tit. Marie pulled me down to lock her lips against mine and then eased her tongue into my mouth. "I enjoy Angie's kisses," she murmured as she broke away briefly. "But I enjoy yours more."I have to admit that the kissing was so intense that I almost neglected to knead that glorious tit. Note, I said 'almost'. Then Marie peeled my hand away from her nipple and slowly and deliberately put it between her legs. I took the opportunity to run my index finger along the gusset, feeling the puffy mounds either side of that lovely little slit. My God! She was so damp alreadyMarie let go of me and moved around behind so that Angie took center stage. Angie kissed me too, just as passionately. Only while she and I were tangling tongues, my wife was undoing my trousers from behind. Once they dropped away, Angie stood back and unbuttoned my shirt. I tried to help. That's a lie: I just kept fondling her boobs while they undressed me.At last we were all standing in the bedroom in just our underwear. Marie in pale blue briefs, Angie in white lace panties and, be honest, you don't care in the slightest what color M and S undies I had on. It didn't matter anyway as the girls had mine off in seconds. Marie knelt in front of me and took my cock in her hands. Little Geoff had started to pump up when they started on each other. By the time Marie put my hand on her tit he was already fully at attention.As Marie began to stroke me gently as a prelude to showing her teacher the progress she'd made in her oral sex homework, Angie had moved next to me and taken my hand and slipped it inside her panties. She was just as wet as my wife had been. It's odd really, how sexy it seems, groping a woman inside her knickers. I knew I was going to see, touch, lick, enter, both of these women's cunts very shortly, but just having my hand in her pants like that and feeling her up seemed just so fucking, I don't know, adolescent.Angie turned my head to hers and we resumed our passionate kisses. Actually resumed probably understates it. We resumed kissing but the passion went up several notches. On my part because my wife was going full-bore porn star on me and had her nose pressed up against my belly as she inhaled my cock; on Angie's part because I had my hand in her pants with my fingers inside her while my thumb did terrible and dirty things to her clit.I tried to be analytical, I really did, but all I could really feel was my wife's mouth engulfing me, and my fingers in her best friend's cunt. Insofar as I gave it any thought at all the ED22 didn't seem to make my cock feel any different.It wasn't too long before I managed to take a breath to warn Marie that I was close but I guessed that she could tell but didn't care much either way. Ever since I've known her she's been a swallower.Angie and I had by now rearranged ourselves a little. We were still swapping saliva but I had one hand under her bum cheeks and into her cunt from behind while the other was massaging her tits and paying particular attention to her nipples. They were like pebbles. In the end we had to break off from our kiss because neither of us could really focus on it. We were both so close. I'm sorry ladies, but this time I have to admit that, despite my best efforts to hold it back, I shot my load into my wife's mouth before I could bring Angie off.by way of atonement, as soon as I'd stopped thrusting my hips trying to push my cock impossibly far into Marie's mouth to extract the last strands of semen, we led Angie to our bed and I knelt between her legs to bring her to her orgasm with my tongue. She was so close that I had barely got into my stride at sucking her clit when I felt her go over. I had my hand on her belly at the time and I could feel abdominal muscles clench as it hit her. I still kept licking though, until she begged me to stop.Marie had been a little trooper. She had given me a great blow job and now it was my turn to pleasure her. She helped me to slip her panties off. No ripping these off, this coordinated lingerie stuff isn't cheap. But the sight that confronted me left me as enchanted as ever, even after over forty five years together. She spread her thighs for me and I spent a moment just savoring the view and her scent. I kissed my way up her thighs until I reached the promised land. I reached up with my hands for her to press them to her tits while my tongue lapped at her labia. Her clit was still a little shy so I tried to make friends with it and eventually it came out to play. We toyed with each other for a minute or two and then I went to say 'Hello' to her cunt. Gents, try it: say 'Hello' to your partners cunt; I doubt that you'll be disappointed with the response. Marie certainly seemed to appreciate my efforts.I laid between her thighs doing everything I could with hands and tongue to give her joy, up to and including using my tongue on her bum. Eventually I realized that my cock was fully hard again and ready to go. Marie was a little spaced out by now so I decided not to confuse her with having to choose from a menu of sexual positions and I decided to go with, what I choose to think of as, 'missionary plus'. That is with my wife on her back, but with her ankles on my shoulder. At our age, you make the most of positions like this, once the arthritis kicks in it might never be an option again.Anyway, Marie was deliciously wet and I was reassuringly hard so I slipped into her and we began to make love. It was a delight to look down at her as I massaged her glorious tits and saw her smiling up at me as she tried to synch her movements with mine. "Go on," I told her. "Be a dirty girl and play with your clit while I fuck you." And she did. It looked so hot. I had her legs up against my chest giving me a porn cameraman's view of my cock pumping in and out of her cunt, shining with her juice, her fingers rubbing at her clit and my hands mauling her tits. I was in my absolute, ultimate happy place.They say, 'All good things must come to an end.' And we eventually reached a point where we couldn't keep together any more. I couldn't keep to that rhythm, I needed to go faster and Marie couldn't keep in sync with me. She kept making little jerking movements that told me she was close. I stopped just massaging her boobs and started to concentrate on her nips, tweaking and pulling and getting quite rough now she was on the edge. Her breathing started to rag as she tried to push against me until she finally pushed up one last time and froze. I put my hand on her hips and pulled her to me to put that last thrust as deep as I could inside of her and held for as long as I could. I could feel her tighten around me and that took me with her like it usually does and I felt my seed burst out into her.It didn't take long for little Geoff to go down, then I lay alongside my wife and kissed her lovingly. After a few minutes I looked across to Angie sitting quietly watching us with her hand between her legs. "Can we do it like that next time Geoff?" She said, quietly. "Just the two of us?"I turned back to Marie, but before I could speak she said, "I'll leave you two alone for a while. I'm going to the bathroom now and then I'm going to go downstairs to make us some supper and something to drink. The pair of you can come down when you're finished. And Geoff," she added. "Don't let your head fuck this up for her. I know how you feel about Angie and I love her too. You won't be cheating on me if you make love to her. She deserves better than the two shits she was married to, so make it special anyway you can."Marie got up and took her friend by the hand to pull her from the chair. She kissed her and said, "He's all yours for the next half an hour or so. All I ask is that you don't break him." She walked across the bedroom, picking her dressing gown from the hook on the door, and left calling, "Have fun!" over her shoulder as she went.I was sitting on the edge of the bed watching as Marie left and I indicated to Angie that she should come and sit on my lap. I wasn't hard again yet but it was still an enjoyable sensation to have a naked woman sitting there while I was naked too."Was that a bit harsh?" I asked her. "I mean, I never really got to know your first husband well, though I never really warmed to number two at all.""No, it was fair enough, I suppose," she answered. "It was like," she struggled to explain. "It was like, we made a great couple on paper, but in reality we were more like housemates; both times. And, because neither of them really loved me, cheating on me didn't really cause them a lot of guilt." Her eyes started to fill with tears. "I've had so much fun with you and Marie these last few days, but I couldn't live with myself if she ended up feeling the way that I did.""You know that I worried about that too," I told her. "But even though I've been doubtful from the beginning, she has never once showed any jealousy towards you and I: and she actually expects all of us, and by us I mean me and your mates, to develop 'feelings' towards each other if and when we actually start to have sex." I gave Angie a big squeeze around the waist, "You know, like you have with my missus: And with me."She snuggled into me. I put one arm around her shoulder to pull her close and the other on her tit, because I'm a man and we like fondling boobs. She turned a little towards me so that we could kiss properly and we did. It was very nice so we did it some more. I wondered if taking my hand off her boob and putting it between her legs would make kissing even better, and I think it fair to say that it did. It also gave me a very clear indication that she was probably almost ready to make love."Geoff?" She asked. "Can I suck your cock? I want to taste you and Marie before you and I have sex.""How would you feel about honoring Marie's ancestry and going a bit continental?" I asked. hopefully.She grinned at me between kisses. "Are you talking about the old 'Soixante-neuf'?"I smiled back. "I like a challenge, and I'd love to see if I can actually please you with my mouth at the same time as you are sucking me."She stood up and pushed me onto my back. "Assume the position, kiddo, it's going to get rough."I moved to the center of the bed and looked down. My cock was already showing signs of interest in the immediate future and Angie hadn't really moved yet. She just stood looking at me until I started to feel a little self-conscious. Then she gave a little smile and climbed onto the bed and maneuvered herself so that I got an access-all-areas view of her lady parts. I reached behind me and grabbed one of those cushions that women insist on buying for the bedrooms; you know what I mean, the ones you chuck on the floor before you go to bed, and then have to put back on in the morning. Anyway, I'd finally found a use for the fucking things; to support my head whilst Angie and I 69ed each other.She was already wet before I started and her labia were pretty engorged. They were pretty to look at too. She tasted lovely. Because she was face down on me her clit was in the 'wrong' place, but I struggled manfully to cope and eventually we became best pals and playmates.Angie wasn't idle though: Oh, no. She had her hand wrapped around my shaft working it as she licked the tip. I couldn't see, but from the feel of it, Little Geoff was at about eighty percent erect and climbing. Angie took him all in her mouth, and when I say that I mean that a fair old bit was actually in her throat. My hips bounced up without any thoughts from my big head. Little Geoff was in charge down there so I turned my attention back to Angie's special little place.I had French kissed her labia and nuzzled her clitoris and now it was time to focus on her cunt. I had a hand free to open her tunnel to allow my tongue to tease her while my other hand tried to catch one of her nipples as she bobbed on my cock.It's difficult to describe a 69 because there's so much happening at once and half of it you can't see; it's just sensation. For my part, my view was a pair of sleek buttocks framing a cleft with a lovely little pucker just about at nose level. One hand was playing gently with Angie's clit having given up on the nipple exercise:   I kept losing my grip and couldn't concentrate enough to find it by feel;  while the other continued to toy with her lips as I kissed them. Oh, the touch of them on my tongue as I lapped between them. Oh, the velvety texture and the taste of her juices; I was in heaven.But that's what I was doing. Meanwhile, Angie had not been idle. My nuts had been comprehensively licked, sucked and damn near swallowed whole from the feel of it. My cock had been licked like an everlasting lollipop and now, Jesus! And now, her head was bobbing up and down as though her life depended on it. I wasn't too close yet but I realized that it was time to bump belly-buttons."Angie," I called her name. "Angie, I want to make love to you now." She gave one last deep bob on my cock and pulled up, sucking hard all the way. I patted the bed next to me as she straightened. "I want you to lie next to me so that we can taste each other,"She joined me and we snuggled. It was a dirty snuggle as she was holding my cock and I had a finger in her cunt, but it was a snuggle all the same. We kissed for a few minutes. I think it would be weird to say that I enjoyed the taste of my cock on her lips, but I liked and was aroused by the idea of us sharing our tastes so intimately. But it was time to move down to address those lovely little tits with the adorable pink nipples. I know they were adorable because I adored them and I showed her just how much. I squeezed them, licked them, sucked them, bit them ever so gently at first but harder when she instructed me to.I told her that I wanted her to ride me and rolled onto my back. She just climbed aboard and reached between us and then gave a teasing smile. "Is this what you had in mind?" She asked as she slid her slit back and forth against my shaft.I put my hands behind my head as I lay back to enjoy the view. "Well," I replied, "I'd rather be inside you but if that makes you happy you'll get no complaints from me."She cocked her head as if in thought for a moment and then reached between us and slid little Geoff inside her. I've actually lost count of the number of times I'd fucked Angie at that point, but every time felt new. She paused for a moment to settle and then she leaned forward with her hands on my chest as I reached up to her tits. She sighed."Angie," I said. "Hard and fast, slow and gentle. It doesn't matter to me; I just want to be inside you. You just feel so right wrapped around my cock." She closed her eyes and started to move in little circles on my groin pressing her clit hard against me as she went. I love this position, have I mentioned that? The sight, the sensation, access to her tits and, oh yes, easy access to that naughty little clit. What's not to love.Angie was in charge for now, and she seemed happy enough to set a slow leisurely pace. I contented myself with playing with her boobs and giving her clit a little tickle once in a while. Then she opened her eyes and said, "That was nice, but now I want you to take over." She slipped off me and laid on her back.I didn't want to lose the momentum she'd given us towards our next climax so I couldn't waste time thinking about different positions. I just lay on top of her and kissed her as I slipped back inside. She raised both knees either side of me and I began to slide back and forth as we kissed. After a few minutes I decided to kneel up and pull her bum onto my lap to press my cock against the top wall of her cunt as we fucked. The change of position seemed to work as her breathing got harder and her hips moved more urgently against me. Then I felt her clench my cock as she started to come. I pounded harder and harder to bring myself off while she was still climaxing. I watched her staring up at me in rapt concentration as she tried to ride her own orgasm for as long as she could, and as she started to come down I felt the sensation that I had been working for building in my balls, and in seconds I felt the pulse of heat shoot down my cock as I erupted into her.Afterwards, we lay together for a while, not even talking, just bathing in the afterglow. I was on my back and Angie on side cuddled up with my arm around her. Then she gave me a peck on the cheek. "I suppose," she said. "If I want to keep doing this, I'd better let you go back to your wife.""You know," I replied. "We keep breaking the rules." She looked puzzled. "I know Marie said it was okay, but I just don't like her being alone while you and I are together."We climbed out of bed and slipped on our dressing gowns and made our way downstairs. We found Marie in the living room, fast asleep on the sofa. We only had to look at each other to silently agree that this was not a woman wracked with jealousy. We looked in the kitchen where she had three cups of drinking chocolate ready to reheat and some posh chocolate biscuits (UK, remember?) on a plate covered with cling film.Angie had a wicked idea. We warmed our drinks up and then went to sit quietly with my sleeping wife as we drank them and dunked our biscuits. Once we were finished we crept over to Marie and untied her dressing gown. I knelt at her head and Angie at her waist and together we, ever so gently, began to kiss and caress her. Our intent was not to wake her, but to see how aroused she would be by our efforts when she did wake up.After five minutes her nipples were hard. After seven, she shifted to make herself more accessible, after ten she started to moan. Angie grinned at me. "Okey dokey lab rat. I'll go and get her supper sorted while you give her a good seeing to."I put my hand between her thighs and gently rubbed her lips with my middle finger while my thumb gently toyed with her clit. She stirred some more and then said in a sleepy voice, "Those tablets had better still be working, husband mine, 'cos if you've woken me up like this and you aren't going to deliver, then you and I are going to have a problem."I looked down to see little (still not that little) Geoff smiling up at me, he was having the time of his life. "If you don't want to do it for me, my love, then do it for science." I encouraged her. "Just lie back and think of England. The South Downs are lovely this time of year and I am just about to have a lovely time down south too."So saying, I managed to scoot her around on the sofa so that I could get between her legs from my position on the floor and I slid into her. She sighed contentedly as I moved back and forth, in and out. My position was perfect for attending to her boobs too, Just in case they were feeling neglected. A couple of minutes later Angie came back from the kitchen with a cup and plate for Marie that she set on the coffee table."Good Lord," she said in mock annoyance. "Hasn't he brought you off yet, Babe?"Marie gave a little pout, "No, but bless him; he's doing his best."That stung a little but it did encourage me to try a bit harder and Angie helped by leaning over the back of the sofa and grabbing my wife's tits and giving her little nubs a really good squeeze. Marie wasn't looking so sleepy now as her breathing was starting to go and her hips were jerking as the muscle spasms began. I was too close and shot my fourth load of the evening into her while she was still ramping up to her own climax. Fortunately I was able to keep pounding into her while I was still hard, I had a hand free to rub her clit and Angie was doing sterling service on her nipples. Between us we managed to take her over the edge.It was getting late now, so I put a silly quiz show from catch-up on the TV and we sat snuggled together watching on the sofa while Marie had her drink. As soon as it finished the girls disappeared upstairs while I put the cups and plates in the dishwasher and did my rounds. By the time I got upstairs they were in our bed but cuddled up together. I expected to be in the middle but Marie explained that I was going to sleep on the other side of Angie because, keen as she was for sausage for breakfast, she'd enjoy it better after an uninterrupted night's sleep.I lay back and let my thoughts run free. It had been a busy day. I found myself wondering about my new friend Ken and whether Mrs. Ken enjoyed their evening together when he got home. I wondered at my lack of concern when Marie gave him a very long and apparently very sincere apology for embarrassing him. I wondered about her cheerfully encouraging me to fuck her best friend. I thought about Linda and what she made of her mother's newly discovered;  as far as Linda knows;  bisexuality. Then the last thought struck me. A week today Marie would be meeting her mates for their regular night out together. What the fuck's going to happen after that?An intriguing offer for her friends.It was Friday morning, and not just any Friday. That afternoon my wife was going to meet her six best friends for their regular fortnightly catch-up at the local pub. "So what?" I hear you say. So this! I knew as I lay in bed, waiting for my turn in the bathroom, that she intended to offer my 'services' to all six of her mates if they wanted. That's right; I meant what you're thinking. She had persuaded me that none of her friends had the sex-life that they deserved and she wanted to share our newly rekindled sexuality with them. All of them. Regularly.Now, were I a virile young stud that would be one thing, but I'm not. I retired from running a research lab a couple of years ago and my wife and her friends are all in their sixties too, apart from Sam. The idea cropped up after her last Girls Night Out when she had shown them a dirty video we'd made (don't even ask) of us having sweaty sex together, before she realized that, for one reason or another, they were all effectively celibate. She was overwhelmed, by guilt at first for being so insensitive; then by anger at the universe because, as she put it, "Every one of those women is a fucking catch! Why are they alone?"To my wife, the solution was simple. They deserved sex, I liked sex, she was willing to share, so I should just have sex with them. Oddly enough, her biggest problem was convincing me that this wasn't the most ridiculous idea that I had ever heard. As far as I was concerned though, I had two serious and valid objections; The first was that Marie and I had started to drift apart and we were lucky to have realized in time. I was really reluctant to put our marriage at risk again if the sight of me fucking her friends upset her more than she seemed to believe it would; My second problem was the lack of balance in her solution. As I saw it, I would be having sex with her and six other women on a regular basis. She would just have me. Even I didn't think that was fair, so how long, I wondered, would it be before she felt that she was missing out? But I was too insecure to be comfortable with the idea of her with another man and certainly not with six other men. Perhaps that makes her a better person than me, but I was too happy in my marriage to be comfortable risking it for the sake of this flaky idea.Anyway, her best friend Angie is something of a genius and she just saw the whole affair as a mathematical problem. If the women were prepared to engage in girl on girl sex, then as long as they visited us in pairs, Marie and I could have sex with one each and then swap; and we would both be being unfaithful with exactly the same people with no additional cocks being involved. Obviously alcohol was involved in coming up with this bizarre idea, but oddly enough, the girl on girl, and boy on girl concept seemed to work when trailed by the three of us that night; and Sunday, and last Friday; And Saturday morning.

SHOW NOTES: •Do you know people who are loquacious, verbose, prolix? •Ask a "yes or no" question and they respond with opinions, history, and self-therapy. •Have you been to the Jersey Shore? Well, I did go once, as a child, but my parents really couldn't afford the vacation, and then when they could, they preferred Cape Cod. I haven't taken my children because my spouse thinks that "Jaws" was a documentary. •Why so much talk? -Articulating cognitive processes -Buying time -Believing it adds credibility and esteem -Just a bigmouth who loves to hear him/herself talk •Tell people what they need to know, not everything that you know. •Assume intelligent people will ask you questions if needed. •Don't be afraid to stop people from rambling: -What's your point? -What's your question? •Verbosity attempts to hide the point: politicians do it and it probably helped cost Kamala Harris the election. •It dilutes your real power, like planting the Mona Lisa in the midst of a much larger painting. •People forget the major points because they are drowned in minor points. She talked at length about needing ice cream, but I don't remember what flavors she said to avoid at all costs. •Lincoln's Gettysburg Address took about 2.5 minutes to deliver. Can you recall who else spoke that day for hours? •The US Constitution is a couple of pages. The rules of golf are over 600.

In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson tax attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle a diverse range of tax questions covering rental property strategies, depreciation rules, and business structure optimization. They explain the tax implications of renting property to family members below market rates, including income reporting requirements and limited deduction capabilities. The attorneys discuss gifting rental properties to children and the associated gift tax filing requirements, while exploring sophisticated property management company structures for generating earned income and maximizing retirement contributions. They provide detailed guidance on utilizing IRS sections 168 and 179 for depreciation and bonus depreciation, clarifying the current 100% bonus depreciation rules and debunking outdated 80% figures. Other topics include S-corp benefits for 1099 contractors, holistic health business taxation, accountable plan cell phone deductions backed by IRS Notice 2011-72, vehicle deduction methods and limitations, and even professional gambling expense deductions for Vegas visitors. Throughout the episode, they emphasize proper entity structuring, asset protection, and tax planning strategies. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "I have a question about tax implications of renting my property to my parents. If I rent it to them for less than fair market value, are there any tax incentives or exemptions in this situation? I'm trying to understand whether I would still need to report the income and if I would lose the ability to deduct expenses associated with the property." - Must report income; IRS treats below-market family rentals as not-for-profit activities. "In 2024, I deeded some rental properties to my children about $250,000 each. Is there a way to write this off?" - No deduction available; must file Form 709 for gift tax reporting. "I have four rental properties. I personally manage them through an LLC. Can I use my company as a management company and charge a 20% fee for managing it to be able to show I have earned income and then contribute to an IRA? Also, would I be able to establish a Roth IRA?" - Yes, with reasonable fees and proper structure; enables IRA contributions. "How do I utilize IRS code section 168 and 179 for depreciation and bonus depreciation? How do I buy cars and furniture right off up to 80% of the value of the property every time I buy a house rental or asset? Can I utilize AI or any AI software with these to automate and hands off anything?" - Use 179 first, then 168 bonus depreciation; now 100% not 80%. "I'm a 1099 independent contractor. I own two pieces of property, one is my primary residence, the other has a home and a small apartment on it that I rent out long term under the table. My thoughts are that I need to create an LLC for my business, possibly an S corp. As I understand the tax laws, there will be no way to use any of the rental properties to reduce the tax burden of my 1099 income. Am I on the right track here?" - Report all income; S-corp saves self-employment tax; passive losses don't offset. "I'm going to start a consulting business that focuses on holistic health. What should I be looking for in the next six months or so when I launch? Is taxation different from real estate and in what way?" - Consider S-corp for self-employment tax savings; business expenses differ significantly. "With an accountable plan, can I deduct a hundred percent of a cell phone? Is there some documentation that backs this up? Prove it." - Yes, 100% deductible with S/C-corp; IRS Notice 2011-72 provides documentation. "I have a question about vehicle deductions. There are two methods available, the standard mileage deduction and the actual expense method. Can I use the actual method to claim all the depreciation in one year, then switch to the standard mileage deduction in subsequent years. If this is possible, how does it work? Assume the vehicle is used a hundred percent for business purposes." - Three methods exist; business-owned vehicles allow 100% bonus depreciation benefits. "Since you're in Vegas, you might know the answer to this one. My friend won a reportable jackpot, mid five figures, and he was wondering if he could deduct the travel lodging expenses just as he might do if he made this money as a business deal or future excursions to Sin City to try and extend his winnings." - Only if professional gambler with business intent and meticulous records.

Ever wanted to send that scathing email or slam the door shut after someone disappointed you? We all have. But here's the hard truth: Don't burn that bridge—your future self might need it. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I dive into one of the most overlooked leadership strategies: choosing compassion over retaliation, even when you feel wronged. Especially when you feel wronged. Because the way you show up during conflict doesn't just define your character—it shapes your future opportunities. The Real Reason We Lash Out—and Why We Must Resist When someone quits unexpectedly, underdelivers, or betrays your trust, your brain goes into fight-or-flight mode. The amygdala floods your system with cortisol. Logic shrinks. Ego inflates. We react from fear, not clarity. But strong leaders don't lead from reactivity. They lead from ownership. Unfortunately, business culture conditions us to compete at all costs. We're taught to dominate, win, and protect what's “ours.” That scarcity mindset convinces us that success is limited—and anyone who threatens ours must be the enemy. But real leadership requires a different path. Mic Drop Moment: “You don't need to win every time to be successful. You need to lead every time with integrity.” The Law of Unexpected Returns Here's the magic: the kindness you extend today often circles back to benefit you later. Sometimes years later. Maybe it's the employee you part ways with gracefully who refers top talent to you later. Or the competitor you treat respectfully who becomes your partner in a surprising venture. The point is: you never know. And in tight-knit industries, your reputation is your currency. Mic Drop Moment: “Every interaction is a seed—and the most valuable harvests come from the bridges you didn't burn.” Compassion Isn't Weakness. It's Strategy. Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning poor behavior. It means not carrying resentment. You can set boundaries and still choose compassion. You can walk away from someone and still treat them with grace. Mic Drop Moment: “Just because the relationship looks like this today doesn't mean it will look like this forever.” The long game of leadership means leaving the door open—even if it's only a crack. Five Ways to Lead With Compassion—Even When It's Hard 1. Pause before reacting. Ask yourself: “What's the story I'm telling myself right now?” 2. Assume positive intent. Even if you're hurt. Especially if you're hurt. 3. Use “I” statements. Lead with your truth, not with blame. 4. Reach out with grace. A kind message can shift everything. 5. Zoom out. Will this matter five years from now? How do you want to be remembered? Key Takeaways • Lashing out is human. Leading with ownership is leadership. • Scarcity thinking creates enemies. Long-term thinking builds networks. • Your reputation travels. People remember how you made them feel. • Grace is strategic. Leave room for future reconnection. • Forgiveness fosters emotional maturity, team health, and future growth. Call to Action: Lead With Integrity, Even in Discomfort Think of one person you've mentally written off. Someone you feel hurt by. Ask yourself: • What kind of relationship would I want with them in five years? • What's one small act of compassion I can offer—today? Maybe it's a message. Maybe it's just letting go. Either way, take the high road. Because your future self just might thank you. Connect with Kerry Don't forget to subscribe to Reflect Forward on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube.

We have that opportunity to save human beings whose lives are most valuable, like connecting them to the sound vibration of the spiritual world. In any case, it was the preoccupation of Śrīla Prabhupāda to render The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, The Bhagavad-gītā, and all these priceless vibrations into written form. So obviously he labored for this, and that's what Prabhupāda calls kriyāsu, manual labor. And in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Tenth Canto, Second Chapter, Thirty-seventh Verse, Prabhupāda writes the following in his purport, from this famous verse spoken by the demigods to Lord Kṛṣṇa in the womb. It's the last paragraph. He says: "The word kriyāsu, meaning “by manual labor” or “by work,” is important in this verse. One should engage in practical service to The Lord. In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, all our activities are concentrated upon distributing Kṛṣṇa literature. This is very important. One may approach any person and induce him to read Kṛṣṇa literature so that in the future he also may become a devotee. Such activities are recommended in this verse. Kriyāsu yas tvac-caraṇāravindayoḥ. Such activities will always remind the devotees of The Lord's lotus feet. By fully concentrating on distributing books for Kṛṣṇa, one is fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa. This is samādhi." Couldn't be any clearer. I'll just make one last point, because we would like to hear from the devotees from various parts of the world what kind of manual labor they are engaged in to distribute the books. First comes pledges, then comes the mercy. In fact, when people are depressed, psychologists say, "Find something you can do," and then your mind will rise to the occasion. If I say, "Oh, I can't do anything," and then I say, "Well, that way I won't do any manual labor," then you'll just stay in that doldrum. This is a movement for those who want to take risks. The biggest risk is making a pledge and saying, "I'm going to do something." And therefore our battle cry is, "Assume it can be done." What's illegal is keeping a list of all the reasons it can't be done. If somebody keeps a list like that, they should hide it very carefully, because if we find it, you are going to be in big trouble, and definitely don't bring it with you wherever you go. Just assume it can be done. Take a risk. Life is short. Try to do this. Kṛṣṇa is doing it anyway; we are just instruments. We have to rise to an occasion. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #bhadrapurnima #gotogoloka #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

I purposely re-released “Excellence Vs. Perfection” last week. Many solo cleaners struggle with perfectionism. They are under a belief that ‘good enough' is when the perfectionist is finally happy… and they are never happy. Over-cleaning is problematic for multiple reasons. It costs the solo cleaner time and money because they are at each house or office a lot longer. It also dissolves trust with the customer because they don't want you in their house for 6 hours!Do you know what customers want? It's pretty simple. They want their house or office cleaned well. They want to be happy when they come home or enter their office. They want to get the cleaning at a great value. This is where excellence comes in. The solo cleaner needs to shift their mindset to ‘good enough' is when the customer is happy. Trust me. It takes a lot less to make the customer happy than a perfectionist solo cleaner.​There is a balance. The solo cleaner does need to have a way to measure their quality and relate that measurement to customer happiness. In C3, that measurement is a quality score of 8.0 out of 10.0. Excellence is anything over an 8.0. Perfection is 10.0. If the cleaner doesn't have this measurement system, they may not clean well enough and the customer is not happy. That is also problematic. There is a balance between Excellence and Perfection. I'm not a solo cleaner anymore. We have a team of 10 solo cleaners at C3. I am having a blast finding and training great people to clean at the company. I have a problem though. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to following the rules. It's in my personality type. Therefore, I struggle with employees failing a quality inspection or not following company protocols or not being responsive or a customer late on payment. It strikes my ‘that's not fair' gene.  My gut in each of these cases is to act and penalize the employee, acting swiftly to follow the protocol.That approach does not work! My coach, Josh Melton, has taught me that we need to be relationship-first with team members and customers. He doesn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the customer is having issues with the parent company or the computer system crashed and they can't make payment yet. Maybe the team member is dealing with something in their health or family and they didn't have the time to follow the protocol. Maybe they couldn't concentrate on hitting the required quality level. There are all kinds of maybe's. Josh taught me to be patient with people. Assume the best and give them a chance to explain themself before you execute a verdict!Recently, I had an interesting scenario play out. I found a high-quality prospect in my hiring pipeline and offered her a job. Then I waited. She seemed to have a lot going on in her life and I wasn't impressed with her responsiveness. I was patient like Josh taught me, prodding her along from step to step of the onboarding process. Here was the problem though. I needed to fill that position for the benefit of the company by a certain date. I also need to know that every C3 hire is responsive. This candidate was not checking the boxes.Ultimately, I decided to be bold and direct. I was kind. “Responsiveness is vital to your success and our success at C3. You are not as responsive as other new team members we've had success with in the past. It doesn't seem to us that you truly want this job.” She replied and confirmed my suspicion. Her life was too busy and this second job was a bit too ambitious. She thanked me for being honest and turned down the job. I was able to move on to the next candidate and fill the position in a more prudent manner.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website
