The stories we tell ourselves have an enormous impact on our feelings, and so often – especially in our relationships – we can tell ourselves stories that aren't true. Assumptions about what other people are thinking and feeling can quickly become hidden landmines in our relationships. In today's episode, my clinical supervisor Carley Marcouillier and I unpack our second relational skill for emotionally healthy relationships. This skill has two parts to it: first, how to stop mind reading. And second, how to clarify expectations. I think you're going to find this conversation both thought-provoking and really practical.

When it comes to family business succession, it's often not what we don't know that gets us into trouble—it's what we assume we know. In this episode, Patti Durand joins Tracy to unpack five common (but misleading) assumptions about family business transitions—handpicked by Tracy from Chapter 3 of Patti's book, The Future Leader: The Successor's Guide to Family Business Leadership. These assumptions may sound familiar… even logical. But left unchallenged, they can quietly undermine the very foundation of a successful transition. What You'll Hear About: - Five popular succession assumptions—straight from Patti's book - How unspoken assumptions can derail even the best-laid plans - The potential limitations of even your most trusted advisors - What happens when you assume a plan exists… but haven't seen it - How lifelong familiarity can blind us to what's really being said—or left unsaid - The hidden strength in saying, “I don't know” - What future leaders and founders both need to start doing now From unspoken expectations to misplaced confidence in familiar advisors, Patti walks us through the blind spots that can quietly derail succession plans. But don't worry—we're not giving it all away in the show notes.  You'll have to listen to find out what assumptions could be quietly holding your family business back.

This week on Serialously with Annie Elise, Laura Kowal thought she had found a second chance at love, but instead, she was pulled into a chilling scheme of lies and manipulation. After connecting with a man through an online dating site, she was swept up in what seemed like a whirlwind romance. But the man she trusted was running a vicious scam, one that would end in tragedy…

Lex chats with Yuval Rooz, CEO and co-founder of Digital Asset, about the company's transformation from its early institutional blockchain experiments to launching the Canton Network - a purpose-built, privacy-enabled smart contract platform designed for financial markets. Rooz shares insights into why Digital Asset was inspired by Bitcoin's financial principles rather than its technical assumptions, highlighting the importance of rethinking blockchain infrastructure rather than replicating flawed legacy models. He also unpacks the hard lessons from high-stakes projects like the Australian Stock Exchange overhaul, emphasizing why large-scale financial infrastructure must evolve incrementally to succeed. Finally, the conversation dives into Canton's unique tokenomics, where 70% of block rewards go to the developers and users who create economic activity on the network, challenging traditional validator-centric models and aligning incentives more fairly for long-term ecosystem growth. Notable discussion points: 1. Canton's innovative tokenomics: Unlike Ethereum, where validators capture most of the rewards, Canton allocates 70% of block rewards to developers and applications, creating sustainable alignment. 2. Lessons from ASX: Rooz reflects on the failed ASX blockchain migration, advocating for iterative upgrades rather than “big bang” infrastructure transformations. 3. True tokenization: Rooz critiques superficial on-chain IOU models, asserting that real tokenization must place the asset's books and records natively on-chain to unlock the benefits of DeFi and composability. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Digital Asset, Canton Network, DRW, ASX, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Plaid, DAML, fintech, web3, tokenization, digital assets, financial infrastructure, DeFi, onchain ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT 

Now that the graduation ceremony is over and the party is cleaned up, what's next for you as the parent? In past shows, we have discussed the Seasons of Parenting -  Season 1 - Service, Season 2 - Leadership, Season 3- Mentor, Season 4- Friend/Counsel. This time of graduation may very well be marking the movement into a new season, so what does it look like? Ecc. 3:1 says there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. This transition isn't about letting go completely, but rather about shifting your grip. You are moving from the role of a hands-on manager to that of a trusted consultant and encourager. It's a season of empowering them to build their own lives on the foundation you've so carefully helped them lay. Here are some key principles to guide you in this new and rewarding phase of parenting:Advice - Continue to Build and Maintain the Relationship.  What kind of adult relationship do you want with your adult child?  Be clear about how you are going to interact and what you want the relationship to look like.  This is a conversation that you want to have with your adult child.  What do they want in the relationship?  Assumptions often burn people.  Try to define and clear up any possible areas of confusion. Establish Clear Expectations and Healthy Boundaries.If your graduate is living at home, open and honest communication is paramount. This is no longer a child-parent dynamic but a relationship between two adults sharing a living space. Sit down together and respectfully discuss expectations regarding finances (rent, bills), household responsibilities, and general house rules. Expect and Foster True Independence. True independence isn't just about financial self-sufficiency; it's about taking ownership of one's life – spiritually, emotionally, and practically. This may mean resisting the urge to rescue them from every challenge. Allow them the dignity of navigating difficult situations, whether it's a tough job search, a challenging roommate, or a budgeting shortfall.Champion Their Spiritual Growth from the Sidelines. If they haven't already, it is time for you to encourage them to develop their own faith and not live yours. Equip Them for the Practical Duties of Life. Adulthood comes with a host of practical responsibilities. Take the opportunity to come alongside them as a coach in areas like financial literacy (budgeting, saving, giving), career development (resume building, interview skills), and basic life skills (home and car maintenance, cooking). Cover Them in Prayer. Perhaps the most vital role you will now play is that of a dedicated prayer warrior for your child. Pray for their wisdom, for their protection, for their relationships, and most importantly, for their continued walk with the Lord. Your prayers are a powerful spiritual covering as they step into the world and face new challenges and temptations. Entrusting them to God's sovereign care will also bring you peace and strength during this transition. As Psalm 127:1 reminds us, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." Surrender your anxieties to God and trust in His perfect plan for your child's life.https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

Anchor Chat #19: Dangerous AssumptionsIn this episode, Dr. Woods discusses why dangerous assumptions lead to confusion, frustration, and missed opportunities.

A missing Australian teen is found dead after her roommates claim they took her to the airport. A two-year-old boy watches his mother bleed out after she is gunned down in a tragic case of mistaken identity. Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin's wife, Victoria Goodwin, is sentenced in a chilling case. A Texas man murders his fiancée and lives with her body for days. And the manhunt for Travis Decker continues after he horrifically murdered his three young daughters.

Detective Mike O'Shea is spiraling—consumed by painkiller addiction, alcohol, and the crushing weight of unresolved grief. As his personal demons threaten to take control, he's pulled into a chilling case: a woman is found dead, her son rotting beside her, discovered only when neighbors are alerted by the unbearable stench of decay.Meanwhile, O'Shea's obsession with the killer of his former partner, Sal, continues to haunt him. The elusive murderer has evaded justice for years, but O'Shea has always suspected something more—an untold truth buried beneath the surface. As he digs further, he uncovers a terrifying reality: the killer's freedom isn't just a coincidence—it's the result of high-level corruption that runs far deeper than he ever imagined.As the conspiracy begins to unravel, the threat intensifies, drawing in those closest to O'Shea. Detective Sergeant Amanda Black, one of the few who knows the whole story, becomes the target of an assassination attempt. With her pending promotion and O'Shea's growing addiction-fueled paranoia, he starts to wonder if he can still trust her—especially if she's crossing over.Haunted by years of policing that have left him physically and emotionally scarred, O'Shea is worn down by the weight of it all. Torn between his duty and an overwhelming sense of exhaustion, he struggles to hold on as the stakes rise and the lines between right and wrong blur. He must decide whether to keep fighting—or walk away, knowing the cop killer who took Sal's life still roams free.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

His car, wallet, and clothes were left behind, but Laurie insisted he had "left for Georgia." As the investigation dragged on, strange texts and erratic Facebook posts only deepened the mystery. For years, there were no answers, until a welfare check uncovered a devastating truth that no one expected…

This week on Headline Highlights, a New York man makes a grisly discovery floating in his backyard pool. A hidden note found in a Jersey Mike's restroom leads to a chilling revelation. A Florida mom claims divine instructions to perform an exorcism on her six-year-old, and days later, the boy is found dead. A teen is arrested for the brutal murder of a Lyft driver. A South African mother sells her own daughter for drug money. And a man calls 911 to ask the dispatcher to choose where he should stab his father.

In this episode, examine how our assumptions about our partner's behavior shape the emotional climate of our relationship. Often, we default to interpretations that paint our partner as careless or intentionally hurtful, which leads to defensiveness and distance. By learning to make generous, non-evil assumptions—like believing our partner is overwhelmed rather than selfish—we create more space for empathy, curiosity, and connection. We cover topics such as: We often assume the worst based on our own insecurities. Generous assumptions reduce conflict. Shift from “they're against me” to “they're struggling.” Mutual generosity creates safety. And more! Give Me Discounts!

What happens when the faith you grew up with doesn't have room for who you're becoming? Pastor Heidi Mills shares her personal story of moving from conservative Christianity's rigid expectations to discovering her queer identity at age 30. She explores how religious spaces often force people into narrow boxes that prevent authentic self-discovery. Through her own experience of questioning, deconstructing, and ultimately embracing her sexuality, Heidi demonstrates how supportive communities can create space for people to explore their true selves without shame or judgment. Her story reveals how stepping outside familiar boundaries—even when it costs relationships—can lead to greater freedom and self-acceptance. Whether you're questioning your own identity, supporting someone who is, or wondering how faith and sexuality intersect, this honest conversation offers hope that there are communities where everyone can belong exactly as they are.

Send me a Text Message! (I can't directly respond, but I can answer questions and share comments in upcoming episodes! Have you ever heard negative things about the left hand or being left handed because the Bible refers positively to the right hand so many times? That's a false dichotomy and it's a logical fallacy that can trip us up when it comes to understanding theology. Today I will help us spot some classic unbiblical contrasts and how we can help our kids recognize this fallacy in regular scripture reading too.Life Hack at 6:10Check out the Zevo Flying Insect Light: https://a.co/d/3UkE0EDFalse Dichotomies at 8:06Links to ResourcesFaith vs Science: https://answersingenesis.org/what-is-science/science-or-the-bible/Law vs Liberty: https://learn.ligonier.org/articles/liberty-vs-lawGospel vs Social Justice: https://learn.ligonier.org/articles/do-we-believe-whole-gospelFree Bible Reading Plan: sheprovesfaithful.com/bibleGraphic and Web Design & Marketing with Andy Hlushak: andyhlushak.comSupport the showLove wellness products for your whole family?

This week on Headline Highlights, a 13-year-old girl was attacked on her way home from school, but this brave teen proved her attacker picked the wrong target. After years on the run, the founder of a Haitian orphanage has finally been sentenced to prison for shocking abuse. A prison escape has everyone talking, not just because he got out, but because of why he was behind bars to begin with. The Kim Kardashian jewelry heist trial has come to a close. A good Samaritan's kind act turned into a nightmare when he was beaten and robbed. And an upscale New York City apartment became the scene of a horror story where a man was held hostage and tortured for weeks.

Great strategy starts with a question—and a story worth believing in.A good strategy isn't just built—it's told. For Martin Reeves, chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute and author of The Imagination Machine and Like: The Button That Changed the World, strategy and imagination are both deeply communicative processes, rooted in storytelling, curiosity, and the courage to reframe assumptions.“A strategy is really just a special kind of story,” Reeves explains. “It begins with the present and aspires to a different future—it's fiction made actionable.” To bring that fiction to life, leaders must involve their teams in a co-creative journey and use thoughtful questions to shape not just ideas, but belief and action.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reeves joins Matt Abrahams to explore how communication fuels strategic thinking, innovation, and organizational reinvention. He outlines his six-step framework for imagination—from embracing anomalies to codifying and continuing ideas—and underscores the role of reframing, deep listening, and even levity in solving complex problems. Together, they unpack how a single “like” button changed our digital behaviors—and what it teaches us about influence and attention today.Episode Reference Links:Martin Reeves Martin's Books: Like / The Imagination Machine Ep.71 Strategy Success: How to Communicate Your Gameplan Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Using Story in Strategy (05:00) - Questions as a Communication Technology (06:15) - The Six Steps to Harnessing Imagination (10:36) - The “7 Cs” of Imagination and Communication (12:08) - Reframing as a Creative Tool (14:11) - The Like Button: Origin and Evolution (16:14) - Brain Chemistry Behind Digital Liking (18:12) - The Final Three Questions (22:59) - Conclusion    *****This episode is sponsored by Stanford.

“The Fallacy of Fundamentalist Assumptions” by Blake T. Ostler at the 2005 FAIR Conference I'd like to begin my presentation (there should have been an outline that was handed out that you have in front of you). But I want to begin a bit off outline. I was amused- I was reading this morning that […] The post Classic FAIR – The Fallacy of Fundamentalist Assumptions – Blake Ostler, 2005 appeared first on FAIR.

This week on Serialously with Annie Elise, it started as an ordinary night among friends—but ended in one of the most harrowing and brutal crimes in modern history. In December 2000, five friends in Wichita, Kansas were suddenly ambushed in their own home by two armed intruders. Over the course of several hours, they were terrorized, humiliated, and forced to do the unthinkable to one another, all while being driven to their own execution. What unfolded was a chilling display of cruelty and control, known today as the Wichita Massacre. Why were they targeted—and how did one survivor live to tell the story?

Week 3 of the Karen Read trial was packed with twists; witnesses challenged whether Michael Proctor was even the lead investigator, and the courtroom was buzzing over solo cups, leaf blowers, and yet another butt dial.

Tensions are rising, timelines are being questioned, and this case is getting messier by the minute. We're attending the trial in person and live streaming it daily on my YouTube channel 10 to LIFE, with full recaps every Friday. Make sure to subscribe and follow so you never miss an update.
