In this electric episode, I sit down with the unfiltered powerhouse that is Jasmine Metson Wilkes, who once built a thriving video marketing agency in her 20s… and then burned it to the ground. Why? Because success built inside a toxic system isn't success at all. What follows is a jaw-dropping story of rebirth: From job seekers' benefits to directing documentaries for CBeebies, to now mentoring women in the creative space to build unapologetically audacious businesses that actually feel good. This isn't just a “pivot” story. This is a burn-the-blueprint-and-build-your-own-universe kind of story.

Dr. Scott McKee continues “Living the Five” with a tender and challenging word on Audacious Generosity—rooted in the God who loves and holds us. Beginning with the wonder of meeting his newborn grandson, Pastor Scott explores how unearned love naturally opens the hand: “I am loved, I am held.” From there he takes us to 2 Corinthians 8, where Macedonia's “overflowing joy + extreme poverty” yields “rich generosity,” and contrasts it with the modern myth that more income creates more giving. Learn the strange math of the kingdom, why cheerful giving is a work of grace (not compulsion), and how generosity can be remarkably fun—like when Ward moved from renovating one Detroit home a year to buying 37 in one audacious season. You'll also hear practical next steps for every giver (first gift, consistent percentage, or sacrificial stretch), and a theologically rich finale in 2 Corinthians 8:9: though Jesus was rich, for our sake He became poor so that we might become rich. Along the way Pastor Scott names our fears, confesses his “outrageous frugality,” and invites us to let God renew our instincts with open-handed joy. May we be a people who live open-handed—held by God and eager to excel in the grace of giving.

Send us a textA poll shock, a policy gamble, a courtroom reckoning, and a boundary that saves a life this episode traces how power, data, culture, and healing collide. We open with a blunt read on fresh numbers putting Nigel Farage within striking distance and ask the tougher question: when the main parties feel unmoored, how do we vote with integrity rather than despair? That thread pulls straight into Keir Starmer's renewed digital ID push. We unpack the Tony Blair Institute's influence, the risks of centralising identity, and why “digital by default” without ironclad security and strict limits is a civil liberties problem, not a modernisation plan.The data story gets painfully real. Cyber attacks have moved from headlines to homes, taking down retailers and even a nursery targeted with stolen images and records. We talk practical defence password managers, multi‑factor authentication, data minimisation and call for sharper laws that fit the crime, especially when perpetrators operate within the UK. Accountability shows up in culture too. Noel Clarke's failed libel suit against The Guardian leaves a £3m cost order and a clearer message: credible reporting and survivor testimony can stand in court, and industry gatekeepers must stop waiting for the courts to do the safeguarding they should have led.Not everything is bleak. The Skims x Nike collaboration is a live case study in strategic branding: knowing your value, choosing partners that amplify it, and letting consistent delivery turn into reputation that travels without you. And then there's the personal work. We share the reality of going no contact with a narcissistic parent after a traumatic birth a choice framed not by bitterness but by the pursuit of peace, therapy, and a safe, joyful home for a child. Boundaries, like encryption, are protective by design.If you're here for smart political analysis, digital privacy insight, culture with a backbone, and honest talk about healing, you're in the right place. Listen, reflect, and tell us where you draw your own lines on data, on votes, on family.

In this episode, I share the deeper intentions behind the book—why I believe true growth happens when we dare to expand beyond our comfort zones. It's not just about inspiration; it's about embracing the messiness, the pauses, and the small, courageous steps that lead to transformation.I invite you to see every action—no matter how small—as an act of audacity. Journaling prompts and sharing your journey are powerful tools to deepen your awareness and commitment. Instead of labeling yourself as busy, consider shifting to a mindset of abundance, recognizing that growth often requires patience and gentle persistence.This isn't about perfection or speed; it's about honoring where you are and trusting that each step—whether a punch, pivot, or pause—is part of your expansion. My hope is that you feel permission to move forward with curiosity, compassion, and courage, knowing that every act of daring is a step toward becoming more fully yourself.

Speaking isn't about saying the right words. It's about making people feel you. When I sat down with Michele Vilseck, she showed me how her RAW method—Real, Audacious, Withness—can transform the way we show up on stage, on video, or even in a simple conversation.We talked about why nerves often get in the way, how to flip the focus from yourself to your audience, and why practice beats perfection every time. Michele shared simple structures that make your message stick, and she even offered a fun 100-video challenge that builds confidence faster than any script. If you've ever wondered how to sell without feeling salesy or speak without losing your spark, this is one you won't want to miss.Highlights:Real > Performance - Learn how aligning voice, values, and story makes you magnetic without memorizing every line. Audacity Builds Trust - See how specific, felt details and safe vulnerability deepen connection and make talks unforgettable. Withness, Not Witness - Shift focus from “How am I doing?” to “What do they need right now?” to calm nerves and sell naturally. Speak to One, Win Many - Use workshops and stages to remove pressure from 1:1 pitching and invite the right people to act. Structure That Sticks - Open with “Is this for me?”, then show the transformation, the how, and why it will work for them.Connect with Michele:Website: https://signaturestages.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michele-vilseck/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelevilseck In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

That dawned on me the other day. I was thinking about how so many people stretch but then have something happen, and they shrink back. They'll go for it, and then they'll shrink back. They'll go for it again, and then they'll shrink back.   An epic life is big. It's bold. It's audacious. And to go for something audacious is often stepping outside your comfort zone. It's often the complete opposite of what your little brain in the back is saying is safe. That voice wants to stay comfortable. It wants ease and instant flow.   But the epic life? The epic life is scary.   I had forgotten about that until I was interacting with a friend from a long time ago. He reminded me that he'd go for something, then something would happen, and he'd shrink back for a long time. Then he'd go for something again, and he'd shrink back. Each time, it got smaller and smaller. On the outside, he was upbeat and positive, yet all of the negative Neds and Nellies in his head were stopping him from reaching for more epicness.   And I can appreciate that. I mean, I work on this every day so that I can be available to the people who are ready for their epic life—people who are ready for epic health, epic energy in their mind, their body, their emotional life, their relational life, their financial life.   It takes quite a bit to go for that big, bold, golden ball out there. We wonder: Do we deserve it? Do we have what it takes? Is it going to crush us? Is it going to mean we have to leave everything we know?   In my world, and in how I've taught over the past 20 years, it doesn't mean you have to leave everything. It does mean you're going to have to do some things internally. You're going to have to make bigger choices—new choices. More audacious choices.   Audacious doesn't have to mean anything other than the small next step. But oftentimes, people get caught up in not taking even that. Not enough time, not enough money, too many other things going on. Yet your soul is always nudging you to go for more epicness.   Your personality and your history keep holding you back.   So where are you holding yourself back from being just a little more epic? Where are you not striving for something just outside of your reach? Where are you thinking smaller than you know you can? You can feel it when you're thinking smaller than you should or than you're capable of.   Gosh, I've done that so many times. And I help people through that every week with my one-to-one clients.   The thing about going for epic is that you're going to have to do something different. Choose a different idea, a different path, a different way of thinking, and definitely a different energy. When you choose a different energy, when you learn how to get into alignment with a different energy, that's when the next step becomes possible.   My name is Siobhan Moran. I invite you to join me at SiobhanMoran.com. But if you want a small, tiny step, go to EpicLifeToolkit.com and start there. It's powerful to take one tiny step.   I can't wait to meet you, see you, hear from you, and find out all of the cool things you've been inspired to reach out for.   Have an epic day.   Follow & Let's Get in Touch!   Official Links Website: https://sheevaunmoran.com/ Conference: http://epiclifesuccesssummit.com Blog: https://blog.sheevaunmoran.com/   Let's Connect on Social Media Twitter:   / sheevaun   LinkedIn:   / sheevaunmoran   Facebook:    / sheevaunmoran   Instagram:   / sheevaunmoran

Picture this: It's the 1960s, your Welsh hometown is dying, and everyone's telling you to accept reality and move to London. Instead, you read about American libraries closing down and think, "You know what? Opportunity." So you buy crates of abandoned books, ship them to Wales, open a bookshop in an old fire station, purchase a medieval castle, and turn it into a 24-hour honor-system bookstore. Then, for your next trick, you declare your town an independent kingdom and crown yourself monarch. The media goes insane, tourism explodes, and suddenly your "joke" has spawned dozens of copycat book towns worldwide and an international literary festival that attracts more visitors than your entire town's population. Meet Richard Booth, the Oxford-educated madman who proved that sometimes the most ridiculous ideas are also the most brilliant. This is the story of Hay-on-Wye: the town that books built, the kingdom that never was but somehow still exists, and the beautiful audacity of believing that literature can literally save the world—one used paperback at a time.GET A BOOK ABOUT IT HERE: To support independent book shops use this link.Or to just use Amazon use this link.BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tips!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Pee-pees, horse politicians, Pac-man, decent people, Hay-on-Wye, the 1960s, fictional pregnancies, etc.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration.[Books, True Story, Biography, Welsh History, Independent Bookstores, Small Town Success, Entrepreneurship, Literature, Tourism, Medieval History, Book Towns, Hay-on-Wye, Richard Booth, Hay Festival, Used Books, Secondhand Books, Literary Tourism, Book Collecting, Wales Travel, Castle History, Eccentric, Self-Made King, Visionary, Maverick, Underdog Story, Against All Odds, Audacious, Unconventional Success, Supporting Local Business, Anti-Corporate, Community Revival, Sustainable Business, Cultural Preservation, Historic Preservation, Honor System, Trust-Based Economy, Comedy Podcast, Educational Entertainment, History Podcast, British History, European History, Business Success Story, Cultural Stories, Travel Stories, Inspiring, Funny, Unbelievable, Motivational, Quirky, Heartwarming, Revolutionary, Transformational, "How books saved a town", "Real life kingdom", "Medieval castle bookstore", "Honor system bookshop", "Self-proclaimed king"]

Jeffrey Marsh is back on Audacious, four years after their interview with Chion Wolf cracked open a new kind of conversation about dignity, identity, and radical love.

Plus, how to keep your heart intact in a time of backlash and burnout. Whether you’re healing, hiding, or just barely holding on, Jeffrey’s voice is a balm and a wake-up call.

Tell me — when's the last time you made a decision without asking someone else if it was the “right” one?If your answer is… “uh, I can't remember,” then we need to talk about self-trust.Because confidence in midlife isn't something you magically “get back” when the stars align or the kids move out. It's something you build, one bold decision at a time. And self-trust is the foundation. Without it, you hesitate, second-guess, and keep playing small.In this episode, I'm sharing how to stop outsourcing your choices, break free from that over-consulting habit, and start living like the woman you know you're meant to be. Think of this as your permission slip to enter your audacious era — the season of unapologetic self-belief, confident choices, and the kind of presence that turns heads (in the best way).What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why self-trust is the magic ingredient behind every confident woman you admireHow to break the habit of crowdsourcing your decisionsThree bold-but-manageable moves you can make this week to grow your confidenceHow to step into the version of you who's already living the life you wantSend a Text Message :)

Erica opens up about her journey of resilience, mental health advocacy, and building connection after trauma, while sharing details about her new book Audacious Expansion and the upcoming Audacious Woman Summit.
