Simon shares a personal journey of realising that a traditional job would not lead to long-term financial freedom. Reflecting on his time as a graduate trainee at Cadbury's, he discusses the limitations of a secure job and the importance of diversifying income through property investment KEY TAKEAWAYS The journey began with the understanding that a traditional job, even in a dream role, may not provide long-term financial security or freedom. True wealth often requires additional income sources beyond a salary. The initial foray into property investment started with renting out a first home to students, which led to a profitable venture. This experience highlighted the potential of real estate as a viable income source. Attending events like Tony Robbins' Wealth Mastery was pivotal in learning about wealth creation and the importance of diversifying income streams. Continuous education is essential for financial growth. While the decision to leave a stable job for entrepreneurship was daunting, it emphasised the importance of planning and gradually building assets before making such a leap. Starting part-time investments can mitigate risks. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to be truly wealthy, if you want to be financially independent... a job alone is not enough." "The decisions you make will shape your life. Where you are right now is a result of all decisions you've ever made." "I would never recommend anybody gives up their job; it's much better to start investing in your part time." "Now is the time to commit to your financial future. 2026 is going to be the year... to become financially independent."

The Evolution of Faith: Mathew Blades on Rediscovering Joy In this episode, Mathew Blades shares his deeply personal journey with faith, from his church-filled childhood to a long period of disconnection, and ultimately, to a renewed sense of spirituality. After witnessing inconsistencies in those around him, Mathew Blades drifted from organized religion, exploring Buddhism and other philosophies in search of meaning. The loss of his parents and struggles with mental health sparked a gradual reconnection—first through conversations with his mom, then through the powerful draw of worship music. Attending a new church reignited his sense of joy and belonging, prompting new reflections on what it means to be “in the right car” in life. With candor and openness, Mathew Blades reminds listeners that faith is a lifelong, evolving process—and that wherever you are on your journey, you are not alone.

Isaiah 6:1-4 (from the Archive)New Living Translation6 It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other,“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!”4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

It's Friday, December 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christmas for Christians Internationally Hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas Day yesterday! But in some countries celebrating Christmas is illegal and must be done in secret. Persecution.org reported what Christians in certain countries risk by acknowledging the Christmas Holiday. In Brunei, in Asia, public displays of Christmas are banned. While Christians are allowed to recognize the holiday inside their homes or churches, they can't hold any public Christmas celebrations. The nation officially banned public Christmas displays in 2014, fearing that they could lead Muslims away from Islam. Muslims found violating the ban, by wearing Santa hats or in some fashion partaking in banned Christmas festivities, could face up to five years in prison. Additionally, Christians are prohibited from spreading the gospel to Muslims. In China, they allow approved groups to hold restricted Christmas celebrations, which vary by region. Individuals younger than 18 years old are forbidden to attend Christmas church celebrations, and authorities continue their campaign to force churches to inject communism into Christian worship. In Iran, Christmas gatherings are allowed in registered churches and approved districts. Small, unregistered house-churches, particularly those of Muslim converts to Christianity, are often raided by authorities. In November 2025, two individuals who converted to Christianity from Islam began serving a two-year prison sentence for charges related to their participation in a Christian house church. In addition, all church services are forbidden to be conducted in Farsi, Iran's native language. Instead, foreign languages, such as Armenian or Assyrian, are typically used to curb the spread of Christianity to native-born Muslim-Iranians. Read about other countries in the link on our transcript at www.theworldview.com Ephesians 6:18 says "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" Christians Blocked from Attending Christmas Service in Indonesia Morning Star News reports that Muslims in the West Java Province, Indonesia formed a human wall to block Christians from attending a Christmas service on December 14th. Videos on social media show police officers and onlookers watching dozens of Muslim men and women holding hands to form a human chain, making anti-Christian comments. Indonesian society in recent years has adopted a more conservative Islamic character, and churches involved in evangelistic outreach are at risk of being targeted by Islamic extremist groups, according to Open Doors. Nigerian Christian Receives Full Pardon from Death Sentence A Nigerian Christian farmer who was sentenced to death after killing a Fulani radical in self-defense following an attack on his farm has been released from prison after receiving a full pardon according to the Christian Post. Christian rights advocates including US Rep. Riley M Moore of West Virginia are celebrating the release of Sunday Jackson, a student and farmer from the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, who was sentenced to death in 2021 over a 2015 confrontation on his farm. Here is Representative Riley M Moore calling attention to this issue to the US House. MOORE: “I would urge the Nigerian government to take a look at pardoning Sunday Jackson, who is an individual who was fighting for his own life, defending his life against one of these Fulani militants. That Fulani militant lost his life in that struggle, and now that person, Sunday Jackson, is facing the death penalty! Where's the justice in that? All these Fulani militants are breaking the law. They are breaking Nigerian law. And so, Sunday Jackson disarms this person with a knife, protects his own life. He's going to prison, and now faces the death penalty, and Fulani militants, just roaming bands of them, with AK-47s, and that's no problem.” Moore went on to say ‘Sunday Jackson is free! After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned…I have been advocating for Sunday's release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria.' Psalm 138:7 says, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. Woman Dying of Cancer Receives Hundreds of Christmas Cards Good News Network tells of Clare Jones from Wales a mother of 3 who was told her cancer was no longer responding to treatment and given months to live made a simple request on Facebook she said, ‘After finding out last week that this is probably going to be my last Christmas. I am looking for ways to make it super special! I'm a simple person who likes simple things. I love Christmas Cards! I would love to have lots of cards this year!...when you are doing your cards could you pop an extra one for me?' That post was shared 10,000 times and her mailbox has received hundreds of cards this holiday season. Many of the cards contain show and movie tickets, vouchers for camping trips, free flights and other gifts. Jones told the BBC ‘I have many people around me who care for me. If love could cure cancer, I would be cured.' Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, December 26th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Why does pain feel like "reality" and joy feel like a vacation? It is December 26th. The wrapping paper is in the trash, and for many of us, that "magical" feeling—if it was there at all—is starting to fade into the gray reality of winter. When the Christmas lights come down and we discard the tree we often feel like we are "homeless" in a broken world again. Join Matt and Brandon as they discuss how sorrow sometimes feels more real than joy. The boys think we have it backwards. They think the incarnation means that God has made this world his home, and that his presence is actually the most real thing of all!

In this episode of The Stockman Grassfarmer Podcast, Danielle Devota shares practical, boots-on-the-ground lessons from her first full season selling meat at a farmers' market. Drawing from her experience raising grassfed beef, pasture-raised chicken, and forest-raised pork, Danielle walks through the real considerations behind moving from selling meat shares to offering retail cuts—and what that shift meant for customer relationships, cash flow, and long-term planning. The episode explores the realities of small-scale, regenerative meat sales, including product availability, butcher scheduling, pricing confidence, and market logistics. Rather than offering theory, Danielle provides clear, experience-driven insights that can help producers decide if farmers' markets fit their operation—and how to do them better if they do.
In this episode, I'm joined by two pioneers at the forefront of reshaping our understanding of human consciousness - Professor Donald Hoffman and Dr Iain McGilchrist. Despite coming from very different backgrounds, they've both arrived at surprisingly similar conclusions about some of life's biggest questions and the nature of reality. This conversation explores the parallels—and differences—in their thinking, covering topics like: — The growing scientific evidence that consciousness may be fundamental — The shockingly complex structures that physicists are now discovering beyond spacetime and what this implies — The power of silence for creating breakthroughs in scientific and creative work — The need for both a rigorous scientific and embodied approach to understanding consciousness. And more. You can dive deeper into Iain's work through his book: The Matter with Things, and Don's via his book: The Case Against Reality. — Dr Iain McGilchrist is a Psychiatrist and Writer, who lives on the Isle of Skye, off the coast of North West Scotland. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains. He was formerly a Consultant Psychiatrist of the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley NHS Trust in London, where he was Clinical Director of their southern sector Acute Mental Health Services. Dr McGilchrist has published original research and contributed chapters to books on a wide range of subjects, as well as original articles in papers and journals, including the British Journal of Psychiatry, American Journal of Psychiatry, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sunday Times. He has taken part in many radio and TV programmes, documentaries, and numerous podcasts, and interviews on YouTube, among them dialogues with Jordan Peterson, David Fuller of Rebel Wisdom, and philosopher Tim Freke. His books include Against Criticism, The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning, and Ways of Attending. He published his latest book: The Matter With Things, a book of epistemology and metaphysics. You can keep up to date with his work at https://channelmcgilchrist.com. – Prof. Donald Hoffman, PhD received his PhD from MIT, and joined the faculty of the University of California, Irvine in 1983, where he is a Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Sciences. He is an author of over 100 scientific papers and three books, including Visual Intelligence, and The Case Against Reality. He received a Distinguished Scientific Award from the American Psychological Association for early career research, the Rustum Roy Award of the Chopra Foundation, and the Troland Research Award of the US National Academy of Sciences. His writing has appeared in Edge, New Scientist, LA Review of Books, and Scientific American and his work has been featured in Wired, Quanta, The Atlantic, and Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

Have you had one of those consults in which you're thinking, huh, sounds like the patient's goals are clear, it's really that the clinician consulting us disagrees with those goals? To what extent is it our job as consultants to navigate, manage, or attend to clinician distress? What happens when that clinician distress leads eventually to conflict between the consulting clinician and the palliative care team? Today our guests Sara Johnson, Yael Schenker, & Anne Kelly discuss these issues, including: A recent paper first authored by Yael asking if attending to clinician distress is our job, published in JPSM. See also the wonderful conversation in the response letters from multidisciplinary providers (e.g. of course that's our job! And physicians may not be trained in therapy, but many social workers and chaplains are, and certainly psychologists). A SPACE pneumonic for addressing clinician conflict developed by Sara Johnson, Anne Kelly and others. They presented this at a recent AAHPM/HPNA meeting. See below for what SPACE stands for. We referenced a prior episode on therapeutic presence and creating a holding space with Kerri Brenner and Dani Chammas, and this article by Kerri. We talked about the role of the consultant, including this classic paper on consultation etiquette by Diane Meier and Larry Beresford.

Perspective-Taking: Ask-Tell-Ask Where are they coming from? Check your understanding with them. "Tell me how you're thinking about this?" "I hear you are concerned about…is that right?" Agenda: Yours and theirs, then focus on common ground Where are we going together? "It seems like we both want…" Curiosity: Reframe and explore to understand Am I missing anything? Why is this kind, smart & hard-working colleague thinking differently than I am? "To help me better understand, what is your biggest concern about…?"

We all have something we want to change about ourselves. But whether it's quitting smoking, losing weight, or breaking some common bad habit, we feel a sense of failure when we don't succeed. This can often set off a cascade of negative feelings and discouragement, making it even harder to change. The voice in our head telling us: Why bother?In his profound book, How We Change: And Ten Reasons Why We Don't Sociologist, pioneering psychotherapist, and author Dr. Ross Ellenhorn Takes a deep dive into this all too familiar experience as he unpacks the psychology and science of changing our lives for the better. Which he argues depends far more on understanding why we don't change.His research sheds an important light on how we are wired to double down on the familiar. A phenomenon he calls - 'The Fear of Hope' -That very human and compassionate act of protecting ourselves from further disappointment. In today's conversation we'll dive deep into the topic of change as we,Challenge the popular paradigm(s) of quick fixes, and 5 and 7 step lists. And examine what actually works. Some of which includes:The power of a caring relationship, Contemplation,And learning to become a better friend to ourselves. Ross's pioneering work offers us all an invitation to consider a fundamentally different approach.One that may forever alter our perspective—and finally help us achieve the transformation we truly seekFor more on Ross, his events, books, and research please visit ellenhorn.comEnjoying the show?

If you're somebody who dreads going to a party, then this episode is for you.Sometimes the couch feels more appealing than going out into the world and socializing, and I get it. Attending a gathering takes energy. Sometimes it feels awkward. But gatherings can also make us feel inspired and supported and invigorated.Today I offer an approach that will help you take charge of your guest experience with three simple questions. You can ask yourself these questions before you leave, while you're driving, or even on your way inside. It's that easy.My hope is that this episode helps more gatherings feel like time well-spent – and that, consequently, you'll want to say yes to more invitations in the future, too.In this episode you'll hear about:Why do we like being invited? What feeling do we think a gathering will offer? And why do we sometimes feel dread on the day of?What the very best gatherings can provide: a shift in momentum, a feeling of relief, a connection made, something learnedHow to take charge of our guest experiences and create moments of meaning by asking three simple questionsRemembering that we don't always know what will happen – and that sometimes the most unexpected gatherings can actually be the most impactfulReflection Question:Are you a person who dreads gatherings? What is it about them that you fear? What tools from this episode will you take with you for your next gathering?Notable Quotes:“The best gatherings – I think, if we look back on them, there's something about that gathering that caused an internal state change, an emotional shift, or some sort of momentum in our lives. We're all out here spending so much time in our own heads – which is great, by the way. I'm not saying don't spend time in your thoughts meditating and being present with yourself. I'm just saying, for a lot of us, that's how we spend the majority of our time, and sometimes, it is nice to be with other people who might inspire you, or offer a fresh perspective or a boost of information or a new way to see the world – an opportunity to feel invigorated or nourished or supported.”“We can't just keep walking into these gatherings pretending like we have no real power here. We do and we can create meaning for ourselves. So how do you do that? Well, I have a very simple strategy. All I do is ask myself three questions before I walk in the door. You could do this while you are driving there. You could sit in your car for a moment before you go inside. You could do this honestly, even between the time it takes you to park your car and walk in the door. It really is that easy.” Resources & LinksRead The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker.

In this episode, I talk about building community - both through hoarding-specific peer groups, online spaces, as well as simply nurturing friendships outside the home. I share practical ways to reconnect, set boundaries, and remind yourself that you deserve care and companionship, whatever your home looks like. The Relationship Between Hoarding and Isolation How hoarding and isolation often accompany each other Feelings of shame and concern about being misunderstood Secrecy around hoarding, even from friends Impact of loneliness on motivation and self-worth The fundamental human need for connection Finding Community: Hoarding-Specific Support Benefits of speaking with others who “get” hoarding Relief and authenticity in hoarding-focused communities Misunderstandings and stigma around hoarding in general society Shared language and understanding in dedicated groups Types of Hoarding Communities Peer support groups (both for people who hoard and for their loved ones) Differences between in-person and online groups Dehoarding accountability Zoom groups run by the host Therapy groups led by professionals Online forums, social media groups, and subreddits Choosing a Support Group and Overcoming Barriers The process of finding the right group for your needs Not all groups will fit; trial and error is normal Common barriers: fear of judgment, privacy concerns, and feeling overwhelmed Exploring online versus in-person options based on comfort and access Managing triggers and emotional challenges when joining a group Broadening Community Beyond Hoarding Importance of connection outside of the hoarding context How hoarding can lead to progressive social isolation Ways to set boundaries while still building relationships Alternative Sources of Community & Connection Joining hobby or interest-based groups (gardening, book clubs, crafts, etc.) Attending classes and workshops (in-person or online) Volunteering for shared causes and the benefits it offers Engaging in outdoor activity groups for physical and mental health Involvement in faith communities (acknowledging varied experiences) Nurturing and Rekindling Friendships The value of maintaining and nurturing friendships Strategies for reconnecting with old friends (acknowledging awkwardness) Personal anecdotes demonstrating successful reconnection Maintaining and Deepening Existing Friendships Creative ways of keeping in touch (memes, postcards, regular outings) Showing care and interest without inviting people into your home Importance of honesty about personal limitations Navigating difficult moments with friends through gentle outreach Building New Friendships The importance of patience and consistent small efforts Transitioning from casual acquaintance to meaningful connection Reciprocity and mutual engagement as key to growing relationships Natural pace of friendship development The Value of Self-Compassion Being a good friend to yourself while seeking social connections Avoiding self-blame and catastrophic thinking Recognising your own worth despite challenges related to hoarding Taking Small Steps Toward Connection Encouragement to take actionable, manageable steps to build community Celebrating small efforts toward greater connection Realistic expectations about gradual progress Suggestions for relevant previous podcast episodes on loneliness, accountability, and community Links Podcast ep 200: Things I wish I'd known: a letter to Episode One Me Podcast ep 130: Loneliness and hoarding with Vassia Sarantopoulou: build human connections and combat hoarding-related shame Podcast ep 138: The Accountability Effect: Accountability, encouragement and mutual support when tackling hoarding and dehoarding Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom session: Accountability Booking Form Website: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding Become a Dehoarding Darling Submit a topic for the podcast to cover Questions to ask when dehoarding: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/podquestions Instagram: @thathoarderpodcast Twitter: @ThatHoarder Mastodon: @ThatHoarder@mastodon.online TikTok: @thathoarderpodcast Facebook: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Pinterest: That Hoarder YouTube: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Reddit: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder subreddit Help out: Support this project Sponsor the podcast Subscribe to the podcast Subscribe to the podcast here

Healthcare's need for efficiencies clear, finally happening AI has held promise within the healthcare industry for a few years, but Alec Stranahan suggests that the rate and breadth of AI adoption across the industry is growing at a faster pace than ever before. As users of the U.S. healthcare system can attest, there are many inefficiencies and we discuss the areas where AI may be most useful in improving healthcare productivity. But beyond making antiquated processes more efficient, AI can also be used to create value for patients from the trove of data that's currently sitting on the shelf and underutilized. Wearable devices might send data to a doctor, make an appointment and showing up at the office, all the medical history is there and an AI scribe takes notes and potentially facilitating treatment options. AI can extend to drug discovery as well, making development more economic by reducing labor and time spent. Vivek Arya discusses what all of this processing of healthcare data could mean for the semiconductor industry while Brad Sills weighs in on how software addresses this problem, and the different software specialties involved.

The occupation we have chosen is the most fulfilling job in the world. Cardiothoracic surgery has been the only career I have pursued as an adult, but I know that even without a meaningful comparison, my bold claim is correct. We have studied and practiced for years to acquire skills so that we can help to cure our patients or at least minimize their suffering. Yet, throughout all of our careers, having a patient succumb to their disease, or our attempt at treating their disease, is as much of a certainty as our own eventual mortality. Read this blog by Dr. Derek Serna-Gallegos on how to face your first patient death as a cardiothoracic surgeon.
Is Alice autotuned this episode? Or is her voice just all mangled due to a recent illness? And, if the latter, *should* we have autotuned her? Elsewhere, hear about how Alice and Doug almost kinda potentially could have sorta possibly considered getting another cat (maybe). But they apparently already have a pet radioactive spider, so that should be good for now.Other discussion topics may include:- The need to brush up on one's animated fish trivia- Tomatoes vs. Roses: Which would you rather have thrown at you?- Attending one's teacher's birthday event- A nonsense TV theme song- How to get your ribs virtually(?) crushed in VR

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the results of a multi-year study of about 24,000 church attenders that was conducted by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. The goal was to examine their church engagement. A particular finding stood out, which was that 46% of those 24,000 churchgoers reported active engagement with more than one church. For purposes of the study, they defined “active engagement” as attending in person, watching online or on TV, or taking part in both physical and virtual offerings. So this begs the question: What drives people to want to participate in a variety of church services? Episode Links During today's discussion, Dr. White outlined three categories of churchgoers: the church hopper, the church shopper and the church dropper. He also wrote a blog about this topic titled “Church Hopping, Shopping and Dropping,” which you can read HERE. It's also important to have a clear understanding of what Church is meant to be, and how we are called to engage with the community of the local church. Dr. White delivered a two-week series at Mecklenburg Community Church called “This Is Us,” which outlined the values and the mission of Meck. And then another incredibly helpful series was simply titled “Being Church” and explored what true biblical community looks like. You can find that series HERE.
