I share the exact roadmap I use to hit 100+ Etsy sales fast. You'll learn the mindset shifts to survive the “valley of despair,” how to validate demand (inside and outside Etsy), what barriers to entry mean for your niche, and the simple ways to make your listings irresistible. I also cover building product lines that feed the algorithm, a weekly listing cadence that compounds traffic, how to “follow the breadcrumbs” in your stats, and when to pour fuel on the fire with promos, coupons, and ads (without burning cash).   What you'll get: • Mindset map of the entrepreneur journey (and how to push through lows) • Demand research on Etsy + external tools (including a quick URL tweak trick) • Barrier-to-entry decisions for POD vs. higher-skill niches • Differentiation playbook: photos, video, SEO, bonuses, value adds • Product-line strategy to scale winners (and train the algorithm) • Consistent listing schedule that keeps your shop analyzed and surfaced • Data loops: read your stats, double down on what works • Marketing stack: sales, coupons, recover carts/favorites, and when to run ads   #EtsyTips #EtsySEO #EtsySeller #SmallBusiness #PrintOnDemand #Ecommerce     Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops

"If we can remove the cost barrier, folks are going to engage more because it's not standing in the way of going to get the care that they need or even preventive care." - Trey SmithHigh healthcare deductibles were sold to employers as a way to create better "consumers" of healthcare. My guest this week, Trey Smith of Hub International, argues that they've been a failed experiment that has done more harm than good. Instead of creating smarter shoppers, high deductibles have become a massive barrier to care, causing employees to delay or avoid necessary treatment altogether.In this episode, Trey breaks down the alternative: first dollar coverage. We discuss how innovative plan designs with zero deductibles can actually lower an employer's overall claim spend over time by encouraging early intervention and proactive care. He shares data showing that while utilization spikes initially, long-term costs come down significantly as members get the care they need when they need it.This conversation is a perfect example of why the benefits consultant's role is shifting from simply brokering insurance to designing strategic solutions that solve real problems for employees and employers. I hope you'll tune in!Chapters:(00:00:00) High Healthcare Deductibles Are A Failed Experiment (00:26:16) The Risk of Innovation vs. The Risk of the Status Quo (00:29:59) The Problem: High Deductibles as a Barrier to Care (00:34:10) The Solution: "First Dollar" Coverage (00:38:22) Simplifying the Healthcare Experience (00:52:17) How Data is Making New Plan Designs PossibleKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

By 1945, Okinawa stood as the last barrier before the homeland, vital to both Japanese defense and American invasion plans. The Japanese abandoned beach defenses and instead transformed ridges, caves, and limestone plateaus into layered strongholds, preparing to bleed the invaders inland. The United States assembled the Tenth Army to launch the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific. The episode closes on L-Day, April 1, 1945, as four divisions landed across Hagushi beaches, beginning the climactic battle that would test Okinawa's terrain, its people, and both armies to the limit. ************* Visit HistoryoftheMarineCorps.com to subscribe to our newsletter, explore episode notes and images, and see our references.

Decades of research into the Science of Reading show that building strong oral language skills in early education forms the foundation for reading success. Yet in many districts, oral language remains under-recognized in literacy plans, despite its direct impact on students' literacy skills, academic achievement, and long-term outcomes.In this edWeb podcast, you hear from both a researcher and a district leader. Together, they unpack the latest findings on how oral language drives reading progress, why gaps in these skills can quietly undermine even the strongest phonics and literacy initiatives, and how schools and districts can close those gaps at scale.We also introduce the Reading is Language Model, developed by Dr. Charles Hulme and Dr. Maggie Snowling. Building on, but going beyond, the Simple View of Reading, this model challenges the idea that language and reading are separate developmental processes. Instead, it emphasizes that reading and oral language are inseparable, and that strengthening language early is essential to securing literacy and reading comprehension later.You also hear a real-world example from a district that prioritized oral language across its elementary schools and saw measurable improvements faster than expected. This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-3 literacy coordinators, special education coordinators, school leaders, and elementary district leaders.OxEd & AssessmentA research-led early elementary language program that is proven to improve educational outcomes.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry. Family Hope Centers offer resources, education, and Christ-centered training, bringing lasting transformation to entire communities.How You Can JoinTogether, we're striving to provide 1,000 children with shoes, socks, and the message of God's love.$15 provides one child with shoes and socks.$150 equips ten children.Visit GiveShoesToday.org to make your gift and bring hope to a child in need.Shoes may seem ordinary, but in the life of a child, they are extraordinary. They represent safety, opportunity, dignity, and above all, the love of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 40 and have several old 401(k) accounts from past employers. One advisor suggests consolidating them for an expected return of 8–10%, while another recommends a hedge fund offering 15–17% returns. What's the best course of action?I'm 64 and want to get my end-of-life documents in order to protect my wife from probate. Her credit was poor, so she's not on the deed to our house.

Overview: We sit down with Jean Jacques, physician, community organizer to explore how the long and complex history of the Democratic Republic of Congo—including colonialism, resource-driven conflict, and trauma—shapes the healthcare experience of Congolese immigrants and refugees in the U.S. We talk through the diversity of Congolese identities, languages, and traditions, and examine how food, faith, and community form the backbone of cultural resilience, even as new challenges like diabetes, hypertension, and mental health stigma emerge after resettlement. Our conversation highlights practical advice for clinicians—from building trust and acknowledging trauma to asking about family and respecting cultural foodways—while also discussing the vital role of Congolese churches and grassroots organizations in healing and navigating the American healthcare system. Three Takeaways: Deep Historical Context Shapes Present-Day HealthcareJean Jacques gives a nuanced overview of how the Democratic Republic of Congo's colonial and post-colonial history—including conflict over natural resources, genocide spillover, and foreign interference—directly affects how Congolese refugees experience healthcare today. Understanding these origins is crucial for providers because patients may carry deep-seated mistrust toward healthcare systems, especially given past experiences of forced medical campaigns and trauma from displacement. Language Diversity is a Barrier and a BridgeThe episode details that Congo is staggeringly diverse with “450 ethnic groups, over 5,000 dialects, and four national languages” aside from French. Many community members arrive in the US speaking little or no English—English might be their fourth language, as Jean Jacques shares from personal experience. Assumptions about shared language or uniformity can result in missed care opportunities; tailored language access and culturally sensitive interpretation are essential. Traditional Foods and Diet Transitions Present Unique Health RisksMoving to the US shifts dietary habits—fresh, traditional foods are often replaced by processed convenience meals, contributing to increased rates of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease in the Congolese community. Efforts to offer healthy-eating guidance (like suggesting less palm oil or leaner meats) often run up against powerful forces: taste, cost, cultural significance, and lack of culturally competent nutrition counseling.

"Where did all our momentum go?" We hear this question often from the multisite churches we serve. It is so common for a multisite church to get stuck at three locations. Having three locations is amazing and exciting, but if you are continuing to grow, it can suddenly feel very frustrating if your multisite model becomes the barrier to making room for new people. In this episode, Sean and Amy break down a growth barrier that isn't discussed often: the “MultiStuck” barrier. They talk about the common tensions multisite churches feel when they get stuck at two or three campuses and start to lose momentum, and they provide solutions to break through the barrier to move toward sustained health.    This Episode is Sponsored by Planning Center: Are you struggling to keep your church organized and connected?

What do we do when life's pain silences us and chokes our praise?In “Break the Barrier,” Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges us to push back against darkness by releasing the sound heaven cannot ignore.In 2 Chronicles 7, we see how God responds when His people humble themselves, pray, and lift their voices. The Holy Spirit helps us interpret what we're exposed to, cut through the noise, and declare God's truth with power.But too often, barriers like fear, pride, and shame hold us back. We forget that we're still God's people, called by His name even when we fall short. With emotional transparency, SJR reminds us: It's not about perfection — it's about repentance and faith that speaks.Your praise is more than words — it's a wave that breaks through heaviness, strengthens others, and reaches the heart of God. When we prophesy His promises over our lives and communities, revival takes root.Don't miss this timely and vulnerable message — because when God's people release their sound together, barriers fall and His Spirit moves.Message: “Break the Barrier”Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:12-15 (NKJV)Speaker: Sarah Jakes RobertsDate: Sept. 21, 2025✨ Welcome to Your Moment of TransformationYou don't have to walk this journey alone.

Crossing the 2000 barrier isn't just about adding more seats on Sunday. This barrier represents a significant shift in how a church needs to operate. At this size, it's common to see ministry silos develop and a realization that your leadership structure needs to evolve. As the leaders of the church, you have to make some changes to your mindset and to how you lead. In this episode, Amy and Sean dig into what makes the 2000 barrier so challenging and why so many leaders feel the weight of it. They focus on helping you own your role by unpacking the mindset shifts that senior pastors, executive pastors and boards must make to lead effectively at this stage.   This Episode is Sponsored by Planning Center: Are you struggling to keep your church organized and connected?

The Government Accountability Office has found that a decades old pay adjustment cap on the federal wage system pay rates is still the most consequential challenge to the Defense Department's efforts to recruit and retain blue collar workers. Even if all the other challenges get addressed, little will change for the recruitment and retention of those workers, as long as the pay adjustment cap remains in effect.

Have you ever felt like no matter how determined you are, your healthy habits just don't stick? You start strong—meal prepping, hitting workouts, drinking water—only to watch it all unravel the moment life gets busy. That nagging thought creeps in: “What's wrong with me?”The truth is, nothing's wrong with you. You're not broken—you're human. In this episode, I'll show you why expecting machine-like perfection only sets you up for frustration, and how to reframe consistency in a way that actually works with your life instead of against it.Here are three big questions this episode will answer:Why do I fall off track even when I feel motivated at the start?What's the real reason consistency feels so hard to maintain?How can I build routines that bend with life instead of breaking?

It’s not unusual to find fresh vegetables or handmade goods at farmers’ markets across Wisconsin. But at one small farm in Tomahawk, the sales approach is different. Tranquil Acres Farm invites visitors to pick what they need and pay what they can afford, no questions asked. Heather and Bill Smith are a retired couple who bought the property during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in search of solitude. What began as a quiet retreat quickly turned into something much bigger: a mission to make healthy food accessible to everyone. Heather Smith talked with WPR’s Shereen Siewert.

We often talk about romance, but this week, we're taking a closer look at the quiet epidemic affecting millions: the erosion of deep friendships and emotional openness, especially among men. What happens when someone says “I miss you”... and it feels too risky to say it back? How do cultural norms shape our ability to express care, and how can we start to rebuild emotional intimacy, not just in partnerships, but in friendships too? This week's episode was inspired by a friend of the show, Douglas, whose candid moment with his wife sparked a much bigger conversation about vulnerability, gender norms, and the loneliness many are too afraid to name. This week, a listener shares: “Last night my wife told me she was getting lunch with a friend after getting a text that said ‘I miss you.' I told her it's nice women can say that — but guys can't. She insisted we could. I'm not convinced. What do you think?” What You'll Hear In This Episode: Why men's close friendships have declined dramatically in the last 30 years How emotional repression becomes loneliness, rage, and disconnection Why “guys don't say I miss you” is a cultural myth we need to break The generational shift that teaches boys to shut down emotional expression Three step-by-step scripts to help you reconnect or form new friendships How to create low-pressure connection points that foster deeper bonds Why you don't need permission to reach out,  just a little courage Resources & Links: Unlock the Secret to Successful Dating with our Date Tracker Call or text your question to: 424-246-6255 Follow @damonahoffman on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, and submit questions via DM or voice memo anytime.

The LCMS wrestles with real division — often labeled “confessional vs. missional.” But is the deeper tension actually between Barrier Breakers and Distinction Keepers?In this episode, Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller joins Tim and Jack for an honest dialogue about the state of the Synod — and whether conversations like this podcast are helping or hurting. Together they explore:- What drives “barrier breakers” and “distinction keepers”- Why polarization happens inside the church- How confession and absolution can restore unity

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer made history as the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. But it wasn't without drama — a furious race official tried to drag her off the course in front of photographers.

What if your work isn't just a job—but part of God's bigger story for your life?For some, work is a source of stress, struggle, or simply something to endure. But what if we're seeing it all wrong? What if God designed work to be a vital part of how we worship Him and serve others? Dr. Tom Nelson joins us today to talk about that. Dr. Tom Nelson is the President of Made to Flourish and has served as the Senior Pastor of Christ Community Church, a multi-site congregation across Kansas City, for over 30 years. He is also the author of Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World.False Narratives About WorkCulture tells us many things about work—most of them untrue.“Thank God it's Friday” reflects the belief that work is a curse and that our real lives happen only on weekends.Work as mere productivity reduces our calling to a paycheck or to-do list.Sacred vs. secular divide suggests ministry work matters more than other vocations.However, if we return to Genesis 1 and 2, we find that work is not a curse. Work is God's good design. Whether paid or unpaid, our work is part of how we glorify Him.The Four-Chapter Story of WorkDr. Tom Nelson uses a “four-chapter” framework to show how the Bible shapes a proper view of work:Creation – What Ought to Be. God designed work as a gift and a reflection of His image. Work and worship were never meant to be separate.The Fall – What Is. Sin corrupted work, introducing toil, frustration, and broken relationships.Redemption – What Can Be. Through Christ, our work can be redeemed. Whether changing diapers, leading a company, or volunteering, we bring God's presence into every environment.New Creation – What Will Be. One day, we will experience work in its perfect form—creative, joyful, and without sin—in God's restored Kingdom.One of the most transformative ideas to remember is that all work done for God's glory is sacred. Work is contribution, not just compensation. We carry God's presence with us into our workplaces because the Holy Spirit dwells within us.This perspective breaks down the artificial barrier between “spiritual” and “secular” work. It gives believers a seamless life of worship—Sunday through Monday.Hope for the FutureWe won't spend eternity sitting on clouds. Revelation offers us a glimpse of a garden city where we will worship Jesus and engage in creative, joyful work—free from sin, frustration, and the need for perfect relationships with God and others.If you've believed that your work doesn't matter, be encouraged that you were created with work in mind. God is with you in your work. When you embrace Jesus and become His apprentice, you'll learn to live a seamless life where every task, big or small, can glorify Him.Dr. Tom Nelson's latest book, Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World, is available wherever books are sold.

Summer heat takes a toll on your skin. In this week's podcast, we're talking dryness, irritation, and the breakdown of your lipid barrier. This natural barrier is your shield against environmental stressors, and when it's disrupted, inflammation follows. As the season shifts, it's the perfect time to repair and restore. We'll cover why ceramide-rich moisturizers matter, how hydrating soaks help replenish, and why it's smart to ease up on exfoliation. Plus, we share tips on diet, recovery treatments, and why end-of-summer peels set you up for glowing, resilient skin heading into fall.

In this episode, I share groundbreaking research showing how fermented cabbage protects the gut lining in ways raw vegetables can't—thanks to over 300 powerful compounds created during fermentation.

Plus, we'll explore an exciting study on kimchi and its role in metabolism and weight support. If you've ever wondered why fermented foods feel so healing, this is the episode for you.

Send us a textIn this powerful conversation, Hannah Elmore, Senior Clinical Outreach Coordinator for the IAFF Center of Excellence, reveals the critical role of culturally competent care in supporting firefighter mental health. Drawing from her extensive background in clinical social work and deep immersion in fire service culture, Hannah illuminates the often-overlooked nuances of how mental health challenges uniquely manifest in first responders.The discussion takes us behind the curtain of the IAFF Center of Excellence, a specialized treatment facility created specifically for firefighters seeking help with behavioral health challenges. Unlike traditional hospital settings, this 15-acre facility offers various levels of care in an environment where firefighters can heal among peers who truly understand their experiences. Hannah paints a vivid picture of the Center's approach, from clinical programming to the nightly gatherings around the fire pit—a space intentionally kept free from clinical staff where some of the deepest healing occurs.Perhaps most compelling is the honest examination of barriers that prevent firefighters from seeking help. Hannah addresses head-on the fears about confidentiality and career impact that keep many suffering in silence. "If you're sweeping things under the rug," she cautions, "eventually the rug is going to get a really big mountain that you're going to trip over." This metaphor perfectly captures the cumulative weight of unaddressed trauma and stress.Steve and Hannah also discuss the frustrating reality of therapists who lack the necessary understanding of first responder culture. They share stories of firefighters who've had negative experiences with providers who were overwhelmed by their trauma narratives or misinterpreted symptoms due to cultural ignorance. Their passion for connecting first responders with appropriate, vetted resources shines through as they emphasize their collaborative approach to resource sharing.Whether you're a firefighter struggling with your mental health, a peer support member looking to better assist your colleagues, or a clinician wanting to better serve the first responder community, this episode offers invaluable insights into creating pathways to healing.

Parenting is holy work—but also hard, messy, exhausting, and humbling. In this heartfelt devotional and prayer, Peyton Garland draws an unexpected connection between plant care and child-rearing, sharing how becoming a “plant lady” during pregnancy gave her new eyes to see how growth, nurture, and resilience apply to raising kids. Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or navigating young adulthood, Peyton encourages you to plant flowers in the trenches. That means practicing vulnerability, modeling God’s grace, and creating an atmosphere of love, humility, and honesty within your home. Even when the days feel muddy or the nights are sleepless, God is with you in the thick of it. As Isaiah promises, the Lord will guide and strengthen you, turning your weary places into flourishing gardens. Today's Bible Verse: “The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” – Isaiah 58:11 (NIV)
