It's a St. Patrick's Day episode, and the energy is exactly what you'd expect—chaotic, funny, and completely unfiltered. Daniel and Luis kick things off in full holiday spirit, or at least one of them does. Luis shows up fully committed to the theme with green gear, accessories, and even green beer, while Daniel does his best to keep up with a much more low-key approach. That contrast sets the tone for the entire episode: one part preparation, one part winging it, and all of it entertaining. From the jump, the conversation flows naturally into what makes moments like this fun—the vibe, the spontaneity, and the ability to just laugh at whatever happens in real time. It's not about perfection; it's about showing up, celebrating the moment, and letting the conversation go wherever it wants.Early in the episode, Daniel takes a moment to give a genuine shoutout to Kelvin Gastelum, highlighting something that goes beyond sports. Instead of just focusing on his success in the UFC, Daniel talks about how Gastelum continues to give back to his hometown by organizing local fight events and bringing in other fighters and personalities. It's a reminder that success doesn't have to mean leaving everything behind—it can also mean reinvesting in the community that helped shape you. The way Daniel describes the growth of these events, from smaller productions to more polished showcases, makes it clear how much impact one person can have when they stay connected to where they came from. It's one of those moments in the episode where things briefly shift from jokes and banter to something more meaningful, without losing the authenticity of the show.One of the standout segments comes when they dive into a discussion about Nu Metal, sparked by a conversation they heard elsewhere. What starts as a simple topic quickly turns into a nostalgic deep dive into bands like Slipknot, Korn, System of a Down, Disturbed, and Limp Bizkit. They break down what defines the genre, why it resonated so much during their younger years, and how it still holds up today. Daniel shares a story about bonding with a classmate who didn't even speak the same language, all through a shared love of music. It's a perfect example of how music can transcend barriers and bring people together in ways that don't require words. Luis adds his own experiences, talking about introducing different types of music to coworkers and how reactions can vary depending on taste, culture, and exposure. The conversation isn't just about bands—it's about identity, connection, and how certain eras of music leave a lasting mark on who you are.As the episode continues, things take a more playful turn with a viral-style game where they have to choose between different “rooms” filled with celebrities. It's one of those segments that instantly sparks debate, not just between them but also with the audience. They try to figure out who's in each room, debate their options, and ultimately make their picks based on a mix of attraction, curiosity, and humor. What makes it work is the back-and-forth—the second-guessing, the jokes, and the willingness to call each other out. By the end of the episode, what stands out most is how effortlessly everything comes together. There's no single “main topic,” but that's exactly the point. It's a mix of stories, opinions, jokes, and reflections that create a full experience rather than a rigid format. Whether they're talking about music, birthdays, sports, or random internet games, the focus stays on connection—between the hosts, with the audience, and through shared experiences. It's the kind of episode that feels like hanging out with friends, where the conversation can go anywhere and still keep you entertained the entire time.Keep Up With Us:Tuesday Live Show Direct Link ► / https://tinyurl.com/tasbl Twitter ► / https://x.com/aftershowblYouTube ► / https://www.youtube.com/c/aftershowblContact Us:928-235-5285

What if the emotions you try hardest to avoid are actually the clearest signals guiding your next best decision?If you've ever felt hijacked by anger, fear, or sadness, and then regretted what you said, did, or chose afterward, this episode shows you a different path: treating emotions as information rather than obstacles. You'll learn how to slow down the “react” impulse, understand what your body is telling you in real time, and make choices from clarity instead of old, unprocessed emotional patterns.Learn how to recognise and name what you're feeling so emotions stop staying vague, overwhelming, and controlling.Discover how breath and body awareness help you respond instead of react, especially in moments where you normally get carried away.Understand how unprocessed emotions shape your choices (often through fear and avoidance) and how to start clearing what's been stored so your decisions become freer and more aligned.Press play to learn a simple, practical way to work with emotions so you can make calmer, clearer decisions - even when life hits hard˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:00:02 - Introduction to Emotions as Messages01:32 - Understanding the Purpose and Nature of Emotions05:13 - Reacting vs Responding: Using Breath and Awareness12:13 - Personal Story of Anger and Conscious Emotional Response18:53 - Exploring Emotional Stories and Self-Inquiry21:51 - How Unprocessed Emotions Affect Decisions25:10 - Processing Fear Through Personal Reflection29:32 - Practical Daily Techniques: Mindfulness and Journaling33:21 - Where to Find Sophie's Work and Final Reflections˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"Every time we react, we can choose to respond instead."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Sophie's website: https://www.ayuryogawithsophie.com/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor˚

Chad and Alex are back, Breakin' It Down, and this one goes from seasons and weather to spring training, Scottsdale traditions, baseball trips, bars, steakhouses, and whether this really is the best time of year. They get into Tahoe, hunting season versus spring, the Waste Management Open, spring training plans, nightlife, travel habits, and what a perfect trip actually looks like once you're not 25 anymore. There's some Giants talk, a little Mexico talk, and plenty of the usual back and forth about drinking, getting older, and how much energy you really want to spend going hard every night. It's one of those episodes that feels like the conversation you have before the trip starts. With a little planning, a little reminiscing, and a lot of opinion. This episode is brought to you by LEER toppers, Gator Coolers, TKO Vitality, Cowboy's Choice Horse Feeds, and Resistol Hats, Demerbox, Oakley Sunglasses, ZLINE appliances, and Jack Link's protein snacks

This episode is about the end of our Curse of Strahd campaign, and more specifically, about how I ended it.Not Sean Scanlon, our excellent Dungeon Master. Not Strahd. Not just the dice. Me.In what I can only describe as a perfect storm of stupid, I managed to take a campaign that probably still had another 18 to 24 months of life in it and drive it straight into a wall in about sixty seconds. That sounds melodramatic until you hear the story. Then it starts sounding annoyingly accurate.We were deep inside Castle Ravenloft, already battered, exhausted, and inside that special kind of late-session Barovian dread where every room feels like it was built by a sadist with a theology degree. Perlan Goodshadow was dead. Urihorn Tenpenny was down. Radley Fullthorn, my character, was somehow still alive, mostly because the dice briefly took pity on me and handed me a natural 20 on a death save. I came back with one hit point. One. Not “wounded.” Not “in rough shape.” One hit point, which in D&D is the difference between “technically alive” and oblivion.That should have been the moment I got wise. That should have been the moment I took the hint, used one of the teleport stones in the brazier room to get out, preserved the campaign, saved what I could, and lived to make more mistakes another day.Instead, I got seduced by the shape of a dramatic ending.That's really what this episode is about. Not just a tactical blunder in a tabletop game, but the much more embarrassing and human tendency to mistake a cinematic gesture for a wise decision. I had one hit point, no stake, no real anti-vampire kill condition, no party at my back, and no business going after Strahd in his coffin. I also had just enough adrenaline, exhaustion, self-insertion, and table-energy to convince myself that maybe this was the moment. Maybe this was the shot. Maybe this was the story.So I took the yellow stone.I went to the master's tomb.I opened the coffin.And I destroyed our campaign.What makes this sting, and what makes it worth talking about, is that this was not pure ignorance. I knew enough to know better. I also know enough about myself to recognize exactly why I did it. I am, apparently, the kind of person who can be lured into exchanging a survivable future for one vivid, incandescent, catastrophically bad scene. That's funny in a game, until it isn't. Or rather, until it is funny and awful at the same time.This episode is part campaign postmortem, part confession, part character autopsy, and part meditation on why some of us are so vulnerable to heroic stupidity, especially when someone says exactly the wrong magical words at exactly the wrong moment and suddenly the dumbest move in the room starts glowing with moral significance.I talk about Radley Fullthorn, Sean Scanlon's handling of Curse of Strahd, the table dynamics in those final moments, the role of suggestion and agency, why I can't honestly blame anyone else even though I was definitely “made wiggly,” and why this has stayed lodged in my head more deeply than a simple “well, the character died” story should.Because Radley didn't just die.He died at the exact moment when his death meant the end of the road.And that's the part I can't quite shake.If you've ever played tabletop RPGs, especially long campaigns where the party becomes a little family and the story starts to feel like a second life, you'll understand this immediately. If you've never played, I still think the story lands, because underneath the dice, vampires, and cursed castle architecture, this is about something familiar: the temptation to do the dramatic thing instead of the wise thing, the lure of the last stand, and the cost of letting one stupid idea override common sense.This is the story of how I confused courage with vanity, story with strategy, and one glowing chance with destiny.And yes, if D&D had Heroic Inspiration powerful enough to let me mulligan one minute of bad judgment, I would spend it here.

In this episode, we explain why debt itself isn't dangerous but the wrong debt or bad decisions can be. Claire walks through the four most common types of business finance — asset finance, term loans, commercial mortgages and invoice finance — and when each is appropriate. Core principles covered: match the length and type of funding to what you're buying, distinguish short-term operating needs from long-term investments, and decide whether financing is for growth or survival. Claire gives practical tips on ease of approval, typical terms, and pitfalls like overpaying or becoming trapped on invoice finance. Finish with three simple diagnostic questions to choose the right funding: what am I funding, how long will it benefit the business, and is this for growth or survival?

Each Tuesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Shrinking. This season is supposed to be about moving on, but our characters are really moving in a one-step-forward, two-steps-back manner. Mentioned: Jason Segel singing "Nightswimming," the Les Mis car karaoke scene from this episode, an earlier rendition of the song by Jason Segel and his How I Met Your Mother castmate Neil Patrick Harris, and the apropos songs "Letting Go" (about making mistakes) and "Bad Decisions."Next week, we'll continue with Shrinking S3 E6, "Dereks Don't Die." We'll be back tomorrow to discuss Lost.

This is the message from our Thursday night service on 2/19/2026 with Pastor Chet Lowe.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Tom Hardin was known as "Tipper X" during Operation Perfect Hedge, the largest insider trading investigation in history. After making four illegal trades based on inside information, the FBI approached him on a Manhattan street corner and convinced him to wear a wire over 40 times, helping build 20 of the 81 cases. Key Learnings  Ambiguity is where ethical lines blur. Tom's boss said, "Do whatever it takes," after the hedge fund lost money, and as a junior employee, Tom didn't ask clarifying questions. The undiscussable becomes undiscussable. Leaders give ambiguous messages, then pretend they weren't ambiguous, employees get confused and don't question the boss, and you end up with a culture of silence. Making decisions in isolation is dangerous. The information came to Tom and he didn't talk to his boss or his wife (who probably would've slapped him around for crossing ethical lines). Psychological safety requires muscle memory. You have to practice saying "I'm just going to ask some clarifying questions here" when your boss gives ambiguous orders. Bad decisions aren't mistakes. Mistakes are made without intent, but bad decisions are made with intent. Tom told himself for years he made "mistakes," but on a drive home from speaking at a keynote, he realized: "There's no way I made mistakes. I made bad decisions." Never say never. Tom argues you're more susceptible to falling down your own slippery slope when you think "that would never be me." 80% of employees can be swayed either way. 10% are morally incorruptible, 10% are a compliance nightmare, and 80% can be influenced by the culture around them. Tone at the top means nothing. Company culture isn't the tone at the top or glossy shareholder letters; it's the behaviors employees believe will be rewarded or put them ahead. Reward character, not just results. You can't just focus on short-term performance and dollar goals without understanding how the business was made and what was behind the performance. The question isn't "what?" but "how?" If you're just focused on the numbers and not on how you got there, you have the opportunity to end up in a slippery slope situation. Celebrate people who live your values. Companies that spend millions on trips for people who live out shared values (not financial performance) are putting their money where their mouth is. Leaders must share their own ethical dilemmas. We've all been in situations where we could go left or right, and sharing how you worked through those moments makes you more endearing and a better leader. Keep a rationalization journal. When Tom and his wife have big decisions (or even little things), he writes them down in a rationalization journal and reflects on them once a month. He's still susceptible to going down another slippery slope, so checking himself on those passing thoughts improves his character over time. It's not what you say, it's what you do. Just like kids see what parents do (not what they say), employees see what behaviors leaders actually reward. $46,000 cost him $23 million. A business school professor calculated Tom would've made $23 million if he'd stayed on the hedge fund path, but he made $46,000 on the four illegal trades before getting caught. His wife was his rock. 85% of marriages end when something like this happens, and she had every right to leave. They just got married, no kids yet. But she stayed. When Tom interviewed her for the book 20 years later, she said, "All I remember is you accepted responsibility immediately. You didn't make up excuses." Running pulled him out of a shame spiral. Tom got obese as a stay-at-home dad. His wife signed him up for a 5K race (and beat him while pushing a jogging stroller). Just crossing that finish line lit a fire. He ended up running a 100-mile race.  Doing hard things teaches you that you can do hard things. When Tom had to start a speaking business because they were running out of money, he said, "I can do this" because he'd already put his body through ultramarathons. No challenge is insurmountable. He ended up with something better. It's not about status or money anymore; it's about who he is with his family and his relationships now. Windshield mentality, not rearview mirror. Tom can't change the past, but he can look forward instead of backward. A lot of people in their twenties do stupid stuff (maybe not to this degree), but now, in his forties, he can learn from it. Why not embrace it rather than try to scrub it off the internet? Eulogy virtues versus resume virtues. In his twenties, Tom only thought about resume virtues (how much money, the next job, the next stepping stone) and never about eulogy virtues (what people will say about his character when it's all over). What will people say at your eulogy? Will they still be talking about those four trades, or will they talk about who you became after? More Learning #226 - Steve Wojciechowski: How to Win Every Day #281 - George Raveling: Wisdom from MLK Jr to Michael Jordan #637 - Tom Ryan: Chosen Suffering: Become Elite in Life & Leadership Reflection Questions Tom's boss gave him an ambiguous message ("do whatever it takes"), and as a junior employee, he didn't ask clarifying questions. Think about the last ambiguous instruction you received from leadership. Did you ask clarifying questions, or did you fill in the blanks yourself? What's stopping you from creating psychological safety to ask next time? Tom argues that 80% of employees can be swayed either way by culture. Look at your organization right now. What behaviors are actually being rewarded? If someone asked your team "what gets you ahead here?" what would they honestly say? Tom asks: "Will people be talking about the resume virtues (money, titles, achievements) or the eulogy virtues (character, relationships, who you were) when you're gone?" What's one eulogy virtue you need to start prioritizing today, even if it means slowing down on resume building?

The era of the Judges ends not with victory, but with spiritual collapse. In this episode, we explore Judges chapters 17 and 18, where Israel's problem is no longer external oppression, but internal corruption. A man named Micah creates a private shrine, a Levite becomes a hired priest, and the tribe of Dan abandons the land given to them by God in favor of conquest and convenience. What unfolds is a powerful illustration of what happens when worship is reshaped to fit personal ambition rather than obedience. These chapters expose how far Israel had drifted from the Lord—using His name while ignoring His commands—and why the book of Judges closes with the haunting refrain: everyone did what was right in their own eyes.

Before you blame yourself for that last bad decision, consider this: what if it wasn't a character flaw, but a design flaw in your hardware? This episode dives deep into the science of why humans make predictably irrational choices. We explore five critical pillars that govern our decisions: from the biological constraints of sleep, stress, and blood sugar, to the psychological traps of present bias and choice overload, the pervasive influence of social reinforcement, and the powerful impact of behavioral economics like the sunk cost fallacy. Topics discussed: - Bad decisions- Five pillars of decision-making- Biological constraints- Behavioral economics- Psychological glitches- Social & cultural reinforcement- Systems & environmental design- Designing environments for effortless good choices---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillers⁠⁠cience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

The repetition of unhealthy patterns doesn't mean we're not learning from our mistakes. It just means we haven't learned to self-regulate in the face of unmet needs. It means the weight of our unmet needs outweighs the memory of the consequences of all our previous mistakes and setbacks. Until the need if met or we learn to self regulate, we will remain stuck in the cycle of dysfunction.

What does it mean to live wisely in a loud, distracted, and often reactive world?Ryan Holiday—bestselling author and modern Stoic philosopher—returns to explore how wisdom actually works… not as a theory or a prize of age, but as a daily practice of reflection, humility, and courage.Ryan breaks down why wisdom takes work, how Stoic philosophy applies to modern parenting and leadership, and why the ability to think deeply and act deliberately might be the rarest skill in today's world. This conversation goes beyond ideas — it's about living wisely when life feels anything but quiet.You'll learn:How to treat wisdom as a practice, not an identityWhy wisdom demands both courage and humilityThe key to raising thoughtful kids in a noisy worldHow to find calm and clarity in times of distraction and divisionWhy discernment is the superpower for the age of AI and misinformation__________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew, Legal Liaison, and Catherine Shanahan, CDFA®, sit down with Jody Bruns, founder of the Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) certification and the creator of the divorce mortgage planning profession. The conversation focuses on one of the most expensive and misunderstood parts of divorce: the marital home and the mortgage attached to it. With interest rates, refinancing challenges, and equity decisions shaping modern divorce settlements, this episode breaks down why housing decisions made without preparation often lead to permanent financial consequences. In This Episode, We Cover Why you cannot simply remove a spouse from a mortgage after divorce The difference between a traditional mortgage lender and a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) How refinancing really works — including escrow accounts, taxes, insurance, and closing costs Why alimony and child support payment structure matters for mortgage approval What lenders require to use support income for qualification The financial risks of keeping the house versus selling it How capital gains taxes and filing status changes impact long-term equity Why mortgage assumptions are complex, limited, and not guaranteed The dangers of quitclaim deeds and poorly written settlement language How title changes after divorce can expose homeowners to liens, probate issues, and loss of control Key Takeaway You may want to keep the house. You may even be able to afford it. That does not mean you can qualify to keep it — or that it's the smartest financial decision. Without coordinated legal, financial, and mortgage planning, housing decisions in divorce often become the most costly mistakes people make. About Our Guest Jody Bruns has over 35 years of experience in mortgage and finance and is nationally recognized for her work at the intersection of divorce, real estate, and lending. Through her certification program and professional training, she helps divorcing homeowners and divorce professionals navigate housing decisions with clarity and strategy.

 As Iran's internet blackout is lifted, staggering details emerge about the slaughter of innocent Iranians that left hospital staff shell shocked. More than 30,000 protesters have reportedly been executed - some while undergoing SURGERY - by the Iranian regime. What are liberals protesting in Minneapolis? The removal of criminals who want to harm us. New polling suggests a majority of registered voters are for law and order and against violent protest - 80/20.

Ron from Daring Ones stops by for a long, laid-back conversation that starts exactly where you'd expect and ends up everywhere else. We get into drifting, Raceway Park, and what it actually takes to keep a car reliable for a full season, but not before bouncing through scary movies, Fast & Furious nostalgia, ghost stories, and plenty of off-topic shop banter. Ron breaks down his mindset on keeping things simple, focusing on seat time over constant upgrades, and why having a spare motor in the wings just makes sense. It's one of those episodes that feels like hanging out in the shop late at night, where serious drift talk slowly blends into random stories and movie debates.@rontothehillsCheck out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/COUPON CODE:chasebaysafterhoursLIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!

Shiur given by Rabbi Benzion Brodie on Parsha to Yeshiva Ketana. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

The holidays are over, the budget is budgeting, and dating looks different now. On this episode of Chocolate Chip & Sip, Stormy Pea talks inexpensive date ideas that still require effort, how letting go of old attachments creates space for what's actually meant for you, why marrying later can be a win,   why oversharing online isn't healing.

In this episode, we explore why New Year's resolutions often fail and argue that the problem isn't motivation, it's weak decision-making frameworks that collapse under stress. We share a simpler approach to health and life by focusing on making fewer bad decisions through clear guardrails, rather than chasing perfection or piling on tasks. Using our three principles of vitality, we explain how trusting the body's design, recognizing devitalization, and filtering interventions through revitalization can lead to more clarity, less chaos, and real freedom for individuals and families.

Most bad decisions aren't made by bad leaders.They're made under pressure.In this episode of Inside the Deal, we look at why smart, capable leaders still make poor decisions when time is tight, information is incomplete, and responsibility is heavy.This isn't a motivational talk or a theory lesson. It's a practical conversation about how pressure changes judgment — and how to slow things down just enough to decide better.If you're leading, supporting a leader, or carrying real responsibility, this episode is for you.

Decisions go better when you ask the Creator first.

You may know Nicole C. Mullen as an incredible singer-songwriter, but did you know she's also a certified Bible nerd? That's right! And she not only knows the Word, but she can teach it too, bringing it to life in a powerful, practical way. So today on the 4:13, Nicole takes us into Scripture to remind us that it's never wrong to do the right thing—even when it's difficult or costly. Because, let's be honest, none of us are perfect, and we don't always make the wisest choices. But no matter what decisions you've made or the consequences you face, God can redeem your past and move you from regret to renewal. As Nicole walks us through the Word and opens up about some of her own not-so-great decisions, you'll be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that hope is never off the table!
