The power to command

Congratulations on reaching Day 7 of creating your own inner authority and calm. When you intentionally slow your breath, relax your posture, or force yourself to smile (a biological signal of safety), you activate the Vagus nerve. This activation sends a massive inhibitory signal to the amygdala and other stress centers, effectively dampening your panic response. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Dignity Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I command my presence and own my peace." Day 3: Praetor's Pause Day 4: Ganesha mudra for overcoming obstacles Day 5: Seventh Chakra for Interconnectedness Day 6: Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

This bible study centers on the authority of church elders, particularly in light of Titus 2:11-15. Elders are called to declare sound doctrine, encourage the faithful, and rebuke error with God-given authority, rooted in scripture and demonstrated through a life of integrity. This authority, however, can be abused, leading to spiritual manipulation and control, as seen historically and in modern contexts. The solution lies in a plurality of leadership, adherence to Sola Scriptura, and a focus on love, humility, and accountability. The goal is to build up the church through sound doctrine and loving discipline, always pointing people to Christ.#titus2 #sounddoctrine #churchleadership #spiritualauthority #elders #reformedtheology #biblicalpreaching #churchdiscipline #spiritualabuse #solascriptura Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0r9zl29K94XogLUHM19gAI?si=10dZ8fYORN-vmM3uH5lK3wwww.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!

Ever find yourself grinding harder and harder in your business… yet still feeling like you're not scaling fast enough, earning enough, or leading at the level you know you're capable of? Like you're giving everything you've got—but something in your offer, your mindset, or your strategy just isn't hitting?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing the Guest Guru Training that Bedros Keuilian delivered exclusively to our Happy Hustle Club and trust me, this is the kind of value most people pay five figures to access.If you don't already know Bedros, he's a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, the founder of the 500+ location Fit Body Bootcamp franchise, the creator of Trulean Wellness Shot (over 2M units sold), a serial investor, and one of the most in-demand high-performance coaches in the game. He's also a husband, father, and one of the rawest, realest entrepreneurs you will ever learn from.This training is all about money, meaning, and mindset and Bedros doesn't hold back. He breaks down the exact frameworks he's used to build and scale multiple 8–9 figure companies, the mistakes that nearly took him out, and the three principles that helped him generate hundreds of millions over the last 15 years.He shares what it really takes to structure irresistible offers, why most entrepreneurs are drowning in commodity pricing, and how to dominate your niche by becoming the recognized authority (and eventually, the celebrity) in your space. You'll hear behind-the-scenes stories from nearly exiting Fit Body Bootcamp right before the pandemic to cutting 90% of Trulene's product line and accidentally uncovering his most profitable product ever.Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Irresistible offers aren't optional—they're the backbone of high-profit businesses. If your offer isn't a no-brainer, your customers won't buy.Kill your darlings. Most entrepreneurs cling to products or ideas that drain profit and focus. Letting go is how you scale.Avoid the race to the bottom. Competing on price is death. Differentiate or disappear.Authority creates demand. Stop hiding behind your work—talk about it, create content, get on stages, get on podcasts. Authority makes sales easy.Invest in yourself first. Before real estate, crypto, or anything else—you are the highest ROI asset in your business.Bedros brings the heat, the strategy, and the mindset shifts every entrepreneur needs. If you're ready to simplify your approach, dial in your offer, and scale with clarity and confidence.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're ready to sleep like a baby, calm your nervous system, and optimize your recovery, go grab yours now at bioptimizers.com/happy and use code HAPPY10 for 10% OFF.99 Designs- Need a killer logo, stunning website, or next-level brand design?Stop DIY-ing and start delegating like a boss with 99designs by Vista!

In this deeply personal tribute episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog reflect on the legacy and lessons of Adrian Ulsh, Karl's business partner and "big brother" of 17 years, who recently passed away. They discuss the principles, temperament, and business philosophies that defined Adrian's impact on their company, their clients, and the entire coaching industry. Karl shares invaluable insights into the operating system Adrian helped create, actionable strategies for growing and coaching small businesses, and practical approaches to prospecting and retention—all inspired by Adrian's stoic focus and unwavering dedication. Key Topics Covered The Legacy and Principles of Adrian Ulsh Karl Bryan shares heartfelt stories about Adrian Ulsh's influence, describing Adrian as the true "man, myth, legend" and the stabilizing force behind their partnership. Family first: Adrian's definition encompassed team members, clients, and the broader community. Wild loyalty, consistency, and frugality as core values that drove business and personal success. Building and Installing a Business Operating System The "Jumpstart 12" framework: Twelve core areas for incremental business improvement and profit acceleration. How small, strategic changes (2-5% gains in multiple areas) compound to produce powerful growth. The importance of standards over goals and repeating proven stories for impact. Real-World Example: Coaching a Landscaping Business Step-by-step, Karl details how Adrian would apply the Jumpstart 12: controlling costs, defining a market-dominating position, bundling services, creating compelling offers, joint ventures, upselling, and cross-selling. Emphasis on practical, low-friction implementation—no magic pills, expensive hires, or complicated training. The Magic of Incremental and Compounding Growth Why professionals focus on what could go wrong, systematize improvements, and avoid "hopium." Operating by numbers: using math and real metrics, not emotions or wishful thinking, to guide decisions. Client Prospecting and Scripting Mastery Adrian's approach to outreach: short, personalized, authority-driven messages sent consistently. Leveraging connections (Chamber, BNI, local hangouts), offering value, and asking for opinions to initiate real conversations. The importance of sending multiple messages daily, not expecting instant results, and using results—not emotions—as a barometer. Notable Quotes "He didn't have goals. He had standards. Create standards for yourself." — Karl Bryan "You want to build a great company, you want to build a great product—consistency and focus over talent all day long and twice on Sunday." — Karl Bryan "Don't get too up. Don't get too down… Warren Buffett doesn't walk into a boardroom all hopped up on hopium." — Karl Bryan "Send it out 50 times a day. If you want results, don't just do it once." — Karl Bryan (on outreach) Actionable Takeaways Focus on Incremental Improvements: Apply the Jumpstart 12 framework and aim for small (2-5%) gains across multiple business areas to produce exponential results. Systematize Everything: Build clear standards, document your operating process, and repeat proven stories and tactics for better client outcomes. Be Relentlessly Consistent: Don't chase perfection or get lost behind the screen—take steady, focused action daily on outreach and client delivery. Eliminate Distractions: Legendary business success comes from eliminating everything except your one core focus—whether it's live events, lead generation, or client retention. Outreach with Authority and Value: Use short, confident messages that reference known connections or groups. Focus on ideas and feedback to open doors. Let Results Be the Guide: Track progress by cash in the bank, referrals, and new clients—not emotions or subjective feedback. Serve the Fat Middle: Target the mass market of SMB "newbies," not just the 4% of $1M+ businesses, for scalable growth and reduced risk. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software™ (by Karl Bryan): Core tool to implement the Jumpstart 12 and Deep Dive 40 operating systems, delivering instant value to small business clients. Focus.com: Business coaching platform and software hub. Networking Groups: BNI, local Chambers of Commerce, Yacht Club, Golf Club—where coaches can build authority and prospect for clients.

The Subconscious Series – Part 3Your subconscious beliefs shape your entire reality — but most of them are invisible to your conscious mind.In this episode, we're diving into the tools you can use to uncover what's really been driving your stuck patterns… and the surprising places those clues might be hiding.Because once you can name the belief, you can rewire it — and finally shift the results you're seeing in your life, work, and relationships.✨ In this episode, you'll learn:How to use tools like journaling, meditation, tarot, dreams, and voice-to-text to identify your subconscious blocksThe key reason you can't just mindset your way into change — and why awareness alone isn't enoughWhy understanding your Human Design gives you a “true north” for your authentic selfWhy it's important to revisit childhood memories through a child's lens — not the logical adult versionHow seemingly harmless triggers (like your partner helping out) can reveal deeply buried beliefsWhy your biggest patterns often come from survival strategies you learned before age 7How the pattern of hyper-independence may be keeping you stuck, even when you want support
What motivates you? The high side or the low side? John the Baptist sang the funeral song, and Jesus sang the wedding song, but still the people didn't move. What does it take for you to go deeper with God? Do you need to be yelled and told to repent like John the Baptist, or does the love and celebration of a wedding with Jesus move you? We may not realize it, but it is our choice whether we operate from the low side or the high side.
Whats going down Yall !!!!! Ok so in this gripping episode I sit down with special guest Dr. Dennis Carroll yet again for a deep dive into the realms of witchcraft, prophecy, and the End Times. We explore how ancient beliefs, spiritual warfare, and modern-day supernatural encounters connect to the Book of Revelation and the Last Days. Dr. Carroll shares his insights on the rise of occult practices, the signs of the times, and what biblical prophecy may reveal about the world we're living in right now. From historical witchcraft to modern spiritual battles, this conversation bridges theology, mystery, and the unseen forces at work around us. Whether you're fascinated by biblical prophecy, spiritual warfare, or the darker corners of the supernatural, this episode delivers a powerful, thought-provoking journey you won't want to miss.

Ann Vandersteel sits down with former Graham County, Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack—the man who challenged the Brady Bill and won at the Supreme Court—to explore what it really means to be a “constitutional sheriff.” Together, they break down the legal foundation behind Printz v.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of November 21st Publish Date: November 21st Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Greater Church giving away free turkeys and groceries Sunday Woodstock joins Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: STRAND THEATRE STORY 1: Greater Church giving away free turkeys and groceries Sunday Greater Church is spreading some holiday cheer this Sunday with a giveaway of 300 turkeys and grocery bags. The event, part of their annual Friendsgiving, kicks off after the 11:15 a.m. service at 5744 Bells Ferry Road. While attending the service isn’t required, it guarantees you’ll snag a turkey and groceries—one per family, first come, first served. No ID needed, just show up and register onsite for food bank records. Supplies are limited, so don’t wait too long! Greater Church also runs a food pantry on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. For details, visit www.greater.church/FRIENDSGIVING. STORY 2: Woodstock joins Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority Woodstock has officially joined the Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority, following a unanimous vote by the city council on Nov. 17. A land bank, for those unfamiliar, is a tool to redevelop abandoned or blighted properties—no eminent domain involved. It can accept property donations, acquire land, and work with nonprofits or private groups to create affordable housing or boost economic development. Cherokee County and Canton formed the authority in August, and now Woodstock is on board. Holly Springs is still considering joining, with a decision expected next month. The land bank’s board includes representatives from each member jurisdiction, plus appointees from the Cherokee Office of Economic Development and at-large members. Woodstock will appoint its representative in December. Board meetings will be public, and jurisdictions will get advance notice of any property acquisitions. STORY 3: Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Georgia lawmakers are seriously talking about ditching the state income tax—$16 billion worth of revenue—and replacing it by slashing $30 billion in tax credits and exemptions. Bold move, right? “It’s not if, it’s when,” said Sen. Blake Tillery, who’s leading the charge. “This is about staying competitive.” Supporters like economist Arthur Laffer called income taxes “growth killers” and praised states like Tennessee for ditching them. But critics, like Sen. Nan Orrock, warned that sales taxes—often the fallback—hit low-income folks and retirees hardest. The debate? Far from over. Stay tuned.

Break: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 4: Warriors withstand late rally, knock off Knights Even with a few key players sidelined, Cherokee stayed unbeaten Tuesday night, grinding out a 65-46 win over River Ridge. But don’t let the final score fool you—this one got tight late. Cherokee (2-0), missing standout forward Sean Hamilton, saw a 20-point fourth-quarter lead shrink to 10 with just over two minutes left. But the Warriors clamped down defensively, holding River Ridge to one basket the rest of the way. “We started strong, but we’ve got to play a full game,” said Cherokee coach Joe Veihman. “We got sloppy in the second half—missed chances, gave them open looks. Still, we’re learning.” River Ridge (1-1), led by new coach LeRonnice Davis, showed fight despite the loss. “The little things killed us—rebounds, free throws, turnovers,” Davis said. “But we battled. These games will make us better.” Braylon Luster poured in 30 points for Cherokee, while Brandon Flint led River Ridge with 27, including six threes. Next up: Cherokee heads to Creekview and River Ridge visits Etowah. STORY 5: 2 sentenced for 3-hour Cherokee County armed SWAT standoff Two men are headed to prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a tense, hours-long armed standoff with law enforcement in Ball Ground back in 2021. Jeffrey Leighton Danner, 35, of Alabama, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to multiple charges, including aggravated assault on officers. He was sentenced to 50 years, with 20 behind bars. Kaleb Hunter Kirkland, 27, also from Alabama, pleaded guilty earlier this year and received the same sentence—though he’ll serve 25 years in confinement. It all started on Feb. 28, 2021, when police spotted a vehicle tied to violent crimes in Alabama. A chase ensued, ending in the woods. Shots were fired at officers (thankfully, no injuries), and SWAT was called in. Kirkland, armed with a rifle, was shot after ignoring commands, while Danner was arrested without incident. “These sentences hold them fully accountable,” said District Attorney Susan Treadaway, praising law enforcement’s bravery. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

Is the Non-Denominational Church Even A Church? What do you think?If you love Jesus and hunger for something older, deeper, and steadier than the non-denominational scene, this conversation is for you.Cloud of Witnesses hosts Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, and first time, special guest host Michael, weigh the spectacle of modern worship against the historic shape of the church and ask a hard question with charity: are non-denominational congregations churches, and are they the church Jesus founded. Personal stories, doctrine, and authority guide a candid look at formation, sacraments, and accountability.We look gratefully at what many non-denom churches do well—zeal for the gospel, real hospitality to seekers—while asking a harder question: what actually makes a church the Church Jesus founded? From there we explore how that answer shapes worship, formation, and accountability over a lifetime.What we unpack (high level):Experience vs. endurance: how production-heavy services can spark decisions but fail to grow deep roots.Doctrine & discipleship: why “results” metrics quietly displaced catechesis, repentance, and the classical pattern of spiritual growth.Sacraments at the center: communion, baptism, confession—not as add-ons, but as Christ's appointed means of grace.Authority that can correct: the difference between a movement built on personalities and an institutional church with bishops, priests, and deacons in apostolic succession.Oversight & ordination: what happens when there's no higher court to address error—or to restore a fallen leader.Belonging vs. floating: why “me and Jesus” Christianity leaves people spiritually unparented and communities fragile.This isn't a hit piece—it's an appeal to fullness. If your faith feels powerful but thin, if leadership turnover keeps resetting the vision, or if you're curious about ancient paths that have held through centuries, we point toward a visible, sacramental, and accountable church life that forms believers for the long haul.Listen, share, and discuss with a friend who's asking the same questions. If this helped you think more clearly about church and discipleship, subscribe, rate, and leave a review so others can find the show.Questions about Orthodoxy?

This week on LoanOfficerPodcast.com, Chris Johnstone breaks down one of the most important industry shifts we will experience in our lifetime: the rise of AI-powered search, customer service, and referral generation. We're no longer talking theory. AI is already recommending mortgage lenders, generating full 1003 applications, and reshaping how homebuyers shop for real estate and financing. Chris explains why this transition will move faster than Google's rise — and what loan officers must do now to stay relevant and win. 3 Big Takeaways: AI is becoming the new search engine: Homebuyers are already asking ChatGPT who to work with — and choosing its recommendations. Authority scoring now determines who AI recommends: Loan types, local content, and weekly training signals shape whether AI sees you as an expert. This shift is moving fast — faster than the Google era: Loan officers who adapt early will dominate. Those who wait risk becoming the next Blockbuster. Don't fall behind the curve. This episode could be the competitive edge you need in 2025.

If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you.

Last week I talked about breaking down business silos and getting different departments to work together on user experience. That kind of cross-functional collaboration can feel like an uphill battle, especially when you're trying to shift organizational culture. So, today I want to share a powerful shortcut that can make your life considerably easier: building your credibility internally by looking outside your organization.I know that sounds counterintuitive. When you're fighting to change culture from within, why would you spend time looking outward? But external validation can accelerate your progress in ways that internal efforts alone cannot.Two ways external focus builds internal credibilityExternal validation falls into two broad categories, and both matter.First, when you're making arguments about how things should be done, external evidence adds weight. Every time you express an opinion or recommend a direction, you want data, case studies, or expert quotes backing you up. This transforms your suggestion from "here's what I think" into "here's what the evidence shows."Second, your personal reputation matters. If people outside your organization respect you, people inside your organization will take you more seriously. An external reputation builds internal credibility faster than almost anything else.Let me walk you through practical ways to leverage both of these categories, starting with that first one: backing up your arguments with external evidence.Use AI to back up your argumentsI use Perplexity constantly to find supporting evidence for positions I'm taking. I've even done quick searches during meetings before expressing an opinion. Whether you're in a presentation, a meeting, or writing a report, never just state something and expect people to accept it.Try a prompt like "provide me with statistics that reinforce the argument that UX design provides tangible business benefits." In seconds, you'll have credible sources to cite, especially if selecting academic sources as the search parameter.The principle applies to any argument you're making. Always have evidence ready.But data and research aren't the only forms of external validation you can leverage. Sometimes the most powerful external voice is an actual person.Bring in external experts strategicallyAs a UX consultant, I'm often brought into organizations where the internal UX team is just as skilled as I am, sometimes more so. Yet they still hire someone like me. I've thought hard about why that happens, and I see three reasons external experts add value:Authority from cost. Your salary is a hidden expense that nobody sees regularly. When leadership hires an external consultant, that cost is visible and immediate. Because they've just spent money, people feel they need to listen. It's not entirely rational, but it's real.Second opinions carry weight. When an internal team member and an external expert share the same view, that consensus matters to senior management. Two voices saying the same thing are harder to dismiss.Impartiality on sensitive topics. If you're asking for more resources or budget, you might appear self-interested. An external expert making the same recommendation seems objective.If you don't have budget for consultants, you can still reference external experts. People like me publish content constantly, and you can cite that work to reinforce your arguments.Expert voices carry weight, but they're still qualitative. If you want to make an argument that's truly hard to dismiss, you need numbers that show how you stack up against the competition.Benchmark against competitorsExternal benchmarking gives you objective comparisons that stakeholders understand. This works the same way NPS scores do in marketing: they let you measure your performance against competitors in your sector and beyond.For user experience specifically, I recommend the System Usability Scale. You can run this standardized test on your own website and your competitors' sites, then compare scores. This creates a compelling, numbers-based argument that cuts through subjective debate.Recognized benchmarking tools give you credibility that opinion alone cannot provide.Outie's AsideEverything I've shared so far applies whether you're in-house or external, but if you're a freelancer or agency working with clients, external validation becomes even more critical because you don't have the luxury of building credibility over months or years in-house.When you walk into a client project, bring evidence with you from day one. Reference industry benchmarks, cite recognized experts, and show case studies from similar organizations. Your clients are paying you precisely because you have that external perspective, so lean into it.The System Usability Scale I mentioned works brilliantly in client work. You can demonstrate objectively where their site stands compared to competitors, which makes conversations about improvements much easier. Numbers cut through internal politics in ways that opinions cannot.Now, all of these tactics rely on external sources and voices you're borrowing. But the most powerful form of external credibility is the kind you build yourself.Share your expertise publiclyI'd encourage you to go further and start building your external reputation actively. Publish that digital playbook you've been working on. Gov.uk did exactly this, and when people across the industry started referencing and discussing their work, it built massive credibility for them internally.They took it a step further by entering their website for awards. When they won the Design award in the UK, one of the most prestigious design awards in the world and a first for a website, their internal credibility skyrocketed.Think about ways to get external recognition. Speak at meetups. Write articles. Share your work publicly. That external visibility translates directly into internal influence.When you combine external credibility with the internal relationship-building and culture change work we've been discussing, you create momentum that's hard to stop. You're not just one voice inside the organization anymore. You become someone whose expertise is recognized beyond your company's walls, and that changes how leadership sees you.Next week I'll tackle a question that inevitably comes up once you start building this credibility and pushing for change: how do you actually prove that UX work delivers value? We'll look at practical ways to quantify your impact and show ROI to stakeholders who care about numbers.Paul

When Bryan Hitch took over as artist on WildStorm's low-selling StormWatch title, writer Warren Ellis was inspired to ditch most of the characters and reinvent the book from the ground up. The resulting series, The Authority, pointed the way to the future of mainstream comic books and stands as one of the milestones marking the end of the Iron Age. It's an important and influential comic, so we've invited writer and podcaster Cameron Kunzelman (last heard on our X-Men: The Animated Series episode) back to read the entire Ellis and Hitch run with us. We discuss the advent of “widescreen comics” and what it means for comic books as a medium to adopt a more cinematic storytelling language; the transition from StormWatch's murky politics to the ends-justify-the-means justice of the Authority; and how the run attempts to comment on and close the book on the genre fiction of the 20th century.CONTENT WARNINGS: The plot and story contents of this series prompt discussions of racism, terrorism, colonialism, genocide, sexual violence, and related topics. We also talk at great length about toxic and manipulative patterns of behavior from writer Warren Ellis, as extensively detailed by his accusers at SoManyOfUs.com.Visit RangedTouch.com to listen to the podcasts Cameron co-hosts.

In this episode of 21st Century Water, we sit down with Jeffrey Szabo, CEO of the Suffolk County Water Authority, to explore how strong leadership and strategic planning are transforming one of the largest water utilities in New York. Szabo shares his path from public administration into the water sector, emphasizing that a technical background isn't a prerequisite for impactful leadership. His administrative expertise and focus on culture, innovation, and accountability have positioned the organization as an industry leader.We begin with Szabo's early days in government and how he unexpectedly transitioned into water utility management. Initially unsure about his fit for the role, he realized his skills in project management, strategic visioning, and organizational leadership were exactly what the Authority needed. Over the past 16 years, he's led with a clear strategic direction, focusing first on departmental metrics, then developing the Authority's first and second strategic plans. These plans focus on core operational pillars—like treatment, laboratory science, customer service, and technology—while more recently emphasizing culture, professional growth, and employee retention.Szabo stresses the importance of empowering staff, shifting the culture from passive compliance to active participation. Early challenges included getting employees comfortable with open dialogue, process review, and decision-making autonomy. Over time, the organization evolved into one where continuous improvement and innovation are expected and supported.We then move into the scale of the infrastructure managed by the Authority. It serves 1.2 million residents across an 86-mile stretch, supported by 6,000 miles of water main, over 250 well fields, and 60 storage tanks. The utility draws entirely from a sole source aquifer and operates 600 wells, all maintained with a keen eye on sustainability and proactive investment. Szabo outlines a $110 million capital budget and a $175 million O&M budget, highlighting costs around labor, electricity, and ongoing treatment upgrades.On innovation, Szabo talks about meter-reading pilots, paperless work orders, and customer service enhancements. He also shares their proactive approach to PFAS contamination. Instead of waiting for regulations, they invested early in treatment systems, funded transparently through a dedicated surcharge. The result: full compliance with future federal regulations—six years ahead of schedule.Lastly, Szabo reflects on his role as president of AMWA and the value of knowledge-sharing among the nation's top utility leaders. He closes by defining his legacy: an organization known for innovation, transparency, and empowered people—not just infrastructure.Suffolk County Water Authority: https://www.scwa.comAssociation of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA): https://www.amwa.net00:00 - Introduction to 21st Century Water00:33 - Jeffrey Szabo's Background and Government Experience03:15 - Transition to Suffolk County Water Authority07:30 - Building and Implementing a Strategic Plan10:40 - Culture Shift and Staff Empowerment15:15 - Overview of Water Infrastructure and Scale18:20 - Budget, O&M, and Capital Investments21:00 - Innovation and Future Planning24:00 - Addressing PFAS Proactively27:25 - Leadership in AMWA31:28 - Reflections on Legacy and Organizational Change34:53 - Closing Remarks Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/
Host John Lund chats with Jody Demling, a legend covering Louisville sports, about what's happened to the football team and what to expect from men's hoops this season. Jody is the sideline reporter for the University of Louisville Radio Network, the publisher for Cardinal Authority with 247 Sports, host for the Cards Cast podcast, play-by-play for ACC Network and was also a longtime writer for the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Spent a little longer than I intended to address the "controversy" on line regarding Skillet's great rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and then moved on to comments made by Matthew Barrett on "conciliar authority" and being a Baptist. Right toward the end we mentioned the new trailer(s) for an upcoming Christian Nationalism documentary and how really dumb it is to say Christianity is "fake and gay."
In ancient Roman times, the voice was considered a weapon. A high-pitched or rushed voice signaled panic; a slow, deep, modulated voice signaled confidence and control. The goal wasn't volume, but resonance, achieved through deep abdominal breathing. Modern Science shares the discovery of Vagus Nerve Toning. Deep, slow breathing—especially extending the exhale—and vocalizing at a lower pitch stimulates the Vagus Nerve, directly lowering heart rate and increasing Heart Rate Variability (HRV). This physiological change instantly shifts you into a state of relaxed control. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic.

Stefanie emphasizes that once entrepreneurs begin trusting their internal guidance—whether it's emotional clarity, gut response, or mental reflection—they experience less stress, better results, and more joy in their work.She also shares how simple practices like daily walks, avoiding fear-driven content, and intentional media consumption help her stay grounded and focused.

FROM THE VAULT: Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Set Apart with Authority, Part 2Series: Younique: Live A Life Set Apart By Christ Scripture: Eph 6:1-9 Episode: 795 Scripture Summary: In Ephesians 6:1–9, Paul provides practical instructions for household relationships rooted in Christ. He begins by urging children to obey and honor their parents, which is the first commandment with a promise—so that they may enjoy a good and long life. Fathers are instructed not to provoke their children to anger, but to raise them with godly training and instruction. Paul then addresses bondservants (slaves), telling them to obey their earthly masters with sincerity, as if serving Christ Himself, not just to win favor. Likewise, masters are told to treat their servants with respect, remembering that both master and servant have the same Master in heaven, who shows no favoritism.
