This Q&A episode addresses listener questions following Monday's "Bad Advice vs Good Advice" episode.We dive into practical implementation strategies for moving away from willpower-based approaches to psychologically sound methods that work with human nature instead of against it.Important Points CoveredBuilding Systems vs. Relying on WillpowerCreating Flexible Boundaries Without Losing ControlPreparing for Obstacles vs. Negative ThinkingBuilding Momentum with Small ChangesDistinguishing Self-Trust from Making ExcusesMeasuring Progress DifferentlyMoving from bad advice to good advice requires changing not just what you do, but how you think about the entire process. You're not broken for struggling with willpower-based approaches - you're human. Start with one system-building approach and practice it consistently before adding more complexity.Key Takeaway"Progress isn't perfection - it's consciousness." The goal isn't to never struggle with food choices, but to make those choices from a place of awareness rather than unconscious reaction. Building systems that work with your psychology creates sustainable change that doesn't require superhuman willpower.

In this week's Bad Advice message, we tackle the popular saying, “Don't impose your beliefs on others.” Pastor Stan Kirtlan reminds us that while respect and grace matter, silence isn't love. Using Paul's example in Acts 17, we're challenged to boldly share the truth of Jesus with gentleness, humility, and conviction—because Christianity is personal, but never private.

In this week's episdoe of Ooohtheyfunny, the crew breaks down what it really means when someone feels "out of your league". From dating people who intimidate you to how confidence can flip the whole dynamic. Then things heat up as we talk about why the phrase "good girl" suddenly hits different and how simple words can spark major reactions.

Tap in for laughs, lessons, and a few moments that'll make you rethink your "type".

The world says, “Test it out first.” God says, “Trust Me first.” This week, we'll look at why true love thrives not in trial runs but in covenant commitment.

Is “just be yourself at work” really the best advice? In this 500th episode of the Squiggly Careers podcast, Helen and Sarah explore the tricky topic of authenticity — and why being 100% yourself at work might not always help you succeed.Borrowing brilliance from Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, they discuss the difference between effective vs. ineffective authenticity, why trust often matters more than “being real,” and how to adapt without feeling fake. You'll learn three practical actions to help you show up authentically and intentionally in ways that work for you, your team, and your career.Episode 500

In this message, Lee Coate contrasts worldly wisdom, which is driven by envy, selfish ambition, and appearances, with godly wisdom, which produces purity, peace, mercy, and sincerity as described in James 3. He emphasizes that wisdom is not about age or intellect but about humbly applying God's truth through prayerful asking and intentional pursuit in daily life. Ultimately, he challenges believers to embrace what may look like “the foolishness of God”—living counter-culturally in faith, humility, and obedience, trusting that God's way leads to true life and flourishing.

The worst advice ever given, and taken.

Sometimes when I talk to another comic, it feels like we were twins separated at birth—and that's exactly how it is with today's guest, the hilarious Susan Rice.

Happy Friday, everyone! While preparing to head into an extended Labor Day weekend here in the U.S., I wasn't originally planning to record an episode. However, something's been building that I couldn't ignore. So, this week's update is a bit different. Shorter. Less news. But arguably more important.Think of this one as a public service announcement, because I've been noticing an alarming trend both in the headlines and in private conversations. People are starting to make life-altering decisions because of AI fear. And unfortunately, much of that fear is being fueled by truly awful advice from high-level tech leaders.So in this abbreviated episode, I break down two growing trends that I believe are putting people at real risk. It's not because of AI itself, but because of how people are reacting to it.With that, let's get into it.⸻The Dangerous Rise of AI Panic DecisionsSome are dropping out of grad school. Others are cashing out their retirement accounts. And many more are quietly rearranging their lives because they believe the AI end times are near. In this first segment, I start by breaking down the realities of the situation then focusing on some real stories. My goal is to share why these reactions, though in some ways grounded in reality and emotionally understandable, can lead to long-term regret. Fear may be loud, but it's a terrible strategy.⸻Terrible Advice from the Top: Why Degrees Still Matter (Sometimes)A Google GenAI executive recently went on record saying young people shouldn't even bother getting law or medical degrees. And, he's not alone. There's a rising wave of tech voices calling for people to abandon traditional career paths altogether. I unpack why this advice is not only reckless, but dangerously out of touch with how work (and systems) actually operate today. Like many things, there are glimmers of truth blown way out of proportion. The goal here isn't to defend degrees but explain why discernment is more important than ever.⸻If this episode was helpful, would you share it with someone? Leave a rating, drop a comment with your thoughts, and follow for future updates that go beyond the headlines and help you lead with clarity in the AI age. And, if you'd take me out for a coffee to say thanks, you can do that here:

In this episode, Scott Becker explores whether “follow your passion” is good advice, breaking down why passion may guide hobbies and love, but in business the priority should be making a living, supporting family, and then finding fulfillment through passion.

The Rooster finds himself on the defensive when a listener calls in to question his previous take, specifically regarding Terry McLaurin's agent, Buddy Baker. He addresses the concerns head-on, clarifying his perspective and offering insight into the situation while navigating the pushback from the caller.

The latest episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the matriarch Sarah, whose bad advice has lasting consequences. While her life must have been filled with struggle and stress, the choices made around the promise of a child show a lack of trust in God's timing and just how powerful the advice of a wife can be.

Zach sits down with Monica Tanner—coach, podcast host, and author of Bad Marriage Advice—and her husband Ben, a self-proclaimed private “civilian.” Together, they share how their 23-year marriage has evolved from survival mode to a deeply intentional partnership. The conversation moves from parenting young adults to debunking cliché marriage advice like “don't go to bed angry” and “happy wife, happy life.” Monica opens up about abandonment wounds, anxiety, and the healing that came through personal work and communication. Ben offers a grounded perspective on emotional processing, individual growth, and learning how to show up with humility and humor. Whether you're the fixer or the withdrawer in conflict, this episode offers insight into how couples can grow together by getting curious, staying patient, and prioritizing mutual respect.
