Podcasts about barriers

I was recently given the opportunity to step into some volunteer work at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Seattle. While I suspected I would find this work meaningful and enjoyable, I didn't expect to be so overwhelmingly impressed with every aspect of the Cristo Rey mission and how their work is setting up students to be incredible leaders from such a young age.  As this work has quickly become very near and dear to my heart, I thought it would be fun to have a different kind of leadership conversation here on the show.  I asked Katie Seltzer, the Vice President of Corporate Work Study at Cristo Rey, to join me.   Katie Seltzer leads the expansion of Cristo Rey's signature (and truly exceptional) Corporate Work Study Program. In her role, Katie nurtures strategic partnerships with employers, ensuring students gain meaningful, real-world professional experience while earning toward the cost of their education. She is committed to preparing students from limited economic means for success in college and career through intentional mentorship, professional development, and high-expectation work placements.  Katie's journey with Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle began as Feasibility Study Director, helping assess and mobilize support for the school's launch in Seattle. In 2022, she relocated to Seattle to lead the foundational work of opening the new Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, collaborating with volunteers, donors, business leaders, families, and community leaders to bring the mission to open its doors in 2024. She holds a Master's degree from both Harvard Divinity School and Harvard's Graduate School. Originally from the East Coast, she calls Queen Anne home now with her husband and six-year-old son. Listen in to hear Katie share: How she connects her family's three generations of educational values to her work, impact, and service today Her commitment to expanding equitable outcomes and what that looks like in action in her current VP role Cristo Rey's unique educational model built on service, mentorship, and sponsorship What it looks like when work and leadership opportunities are integrated into high school education programming The significance of providing a culture of belonging in Fortune 500 companies for young people who commonly face barriers to belonging A systems thinking approach to leadership legacy that layers youth leadership, educational leadership, and organizational leadership The power of dismantling systemic barriers to provide opportunity and advancement in your community and workplaces Links Mentioned: Watch the Cristo Rey Draft Day 2025 video: https://www.cristoreyseattle.org/corporate-work-study/cws-draft-day-2025 Learn more about Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle: cristoreyseattle.org Learn more about the Cristo Rey Network: cristoreynetwork.org Connect with Katie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-seltzer Hire Sara to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with Sara: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Learn more about your ad choices.

The amount of information on how to find a life partner is staggering. There are videos, podcasts, blogs, books—who doesn't have a theory? While some of the information is good, the sheer volume makes it overwhelming. How in the world are we to make sense of it?   Well, in an effort to sift through all the noise, Roy Biancalana, our host, has boiled down our pursuit of intimacy to 5 essential ideas, and they are the focus of this 5-part series.   In part two of the series, we're encouraged to look not for "boys" or "babes" but rather to look in the mirror, at ourselves. We're called to look for the barriers within ourselves, because that is far more important than focusing on who we'd like to meet and how we might meet them.   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

What if, in 45 minutes, you could feel a whole lot more positive about the role of exercise and movement in your life? You're about to be “Wendied!”In this episode, Dr Wendy Chorny, physical therapist and researcher, joins us to rethink movement through all stages of life. We explore the invisible barriers we carry, from comparison culture and perfectionism to fatigue, pain, and the mental load of caring for everyone else first. Together, we unpack:Why “all or nothing” thinking quietly sabotages consistencyHow social media shapes unrealistic expectations of what exercise should look likeThe difference between pain that needs attention and discomfort that simply needs movementWhy post-partum and menopause can feel like your body has suddenly changed the rulesHow gadgets and tech can be helpful but you don't ‘need' them either. How small, flexible habits may matter more than structured programsWendy also shares how she works with women in the clinic to rebuild confidence, adapt to new seasons of life, and move in ways that feel supportive rather than punishing.This conversation is a powerful reminder that strength is not about intensity or aesthetics. It is about agency, adaptability, and learning to work with your body instead of against it.I can't wait to hear what you're inspired to do after this show.

From invisible walls that stop cars and people cold, to centuries of witnesses watching ancient Roman armies march through a lake that shouldn't be dry — something unexplained is breaking through the boundary between our world and whatever lies beyond it.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Ever since President Zachary Taylor died suddenly in 1850 after just 16 months in office, many have suspected foul play on the part of his political enemies. Is it possible that, despite what the history books say, Zachary Taylor was the first U.S. President to be assassinated? (The Mysterious Death of Zachary Taylor) *** Walking into an invisible wall or force field is a science-fiction trope… but perhaps it's not so fictional as you think, seeing as there are numerous cases of people encountering that very thing in real life. (Invisible Barriers and Time Portals) *** According to numerous legends and beliefs, the “White Gods“ once came to Earth and helped humanity develop and prosper by offering knowledge in many ways. Could those white gods have been extraterrestrials? (The White Alien God of the Meso-Americans) *** Over a hundred children were found stalking a graveyard, armed with knives and sharpened sticks in order to kill a vampire that had already killed and eaten two children in Glasgow… and this one event snowballed into a crackdown on comic books. (Comics and the Gorbals Vampire) *** A scientist dies at the South Pole with a lethal dose of methanol in his blood, a government cover-up blocks the investigation, and somewhere out on the ice, a man who disappeared decades ago may still be walking.

Imagine giving middle and high school students a full week to explore careers without grades, homework, or “regular” classes. That's the core idea behind Camanche Community School District's J-term: a dedicated pause in the academic grind that turns school into a career-exploration lab, where 5th-12th grade students can test-drive career fields, build confidence, and discover options they didn't even know existed. That's right: J-term is no longer only reserved for the college experience.What makes this model so compelling is the way it engages students & teachers in a way that the traditional classroom never could. Middle and High School Principals Melissa Phillips and Josh Davis saw higher engagement and clearer direction in this real-world, hands-on week of learning. You see it in the outcomes and reactions: the high school generated 100+ internships, the middle school reported zero office referrals that week, attendance hit a high-water mark, and the community showed up in force.In this episode:Why a “no grades, no homework” week can reveal a different version of students and teachers.How J-term creates equity in exposure by removing barriers families can't always overcome on their own. Why employers and community partners are more likely to say “yes” to short, high-impact experiences than longer commitments. How a J-term can reshape course choices and future plans, helping students move from “I don't know” to a real next step. 3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. A grades-free, hands-on week can encourage a different level of student engagement. At the middle school, they saw zero office referrals and “not one student” sent down for behavior during J-term. The deeper lesson is that when the goal shifts from performance to exploration, more students lean in because the experience finally matches how they learn best. 2. J-term is an equity play because it reduces the “who you know” advantage. The high school framed it explicitly as removing barriers for families who “don't have the means” or the pathway to get students these opportunities on their own. Guardrails like requiring internships not be at a student's current job help ensure the week is about new exposure, not just extending what already exists. 3. Short, real-world exposure can change trajectories faster than a semester of coursework. One student had such a strong internship experience that she reworked her schedule to keep going back, and it shifted her likely postsecondary plan toward education. The big insight is that a one-week “test drive” creates clarity either way, helping students confirm a direction or rule one out while the stakes are still low. Resources in this Episode:Read about Camanche CSD's J-Term weekVisit Camanche CSDSee more on the episode page!We want to hear from you!

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “It's never too late — never too late to heal, to learn, to evolve, or to create a relationship built on something truer than what you grew up with.” — Joelle Lydon In this powerful and deeply human conversation, author and relationship coach Joëlle Lydon uncorks the journey that led to her book Unbreakable Us. Raised in a chaotic family system and identifying as a highly sensitive person, Joëlle spent years navigating old patterns, heartbreak, and healing. Through expressive arts, coaching, and a radical year‑long experiment to change her beliefs about love, she rebuilt her relational “operating system” — and now helps others do the same. Joëlle shares her path from a 32‑year teaching career to becoming a relationship facilitator, how she met the partner who transformed her understanding of love, and why she believes relationships aren't just between two people — but with a living, sacred third. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this episode offers wisdom, humor, and a hopeful reminder that love is infinite — and it's never too late to begin again. Key Themes: We teach what we most need to learn. Joëlle realized her challenges with relating were her greatest calling as a coach and writer.  Highly sensitive people often develop deep empathy — and coping strategies. Her sensitivity was both innate and amplified by a chaotic home environment.  Old family dynamics shape adult relationships — until we examine them. Joëlle's upbringing taught her to see love as transactional, a pattern she had to unlearn.  A rock‑bottom moment became her turning point. A painful breakup led her into deep self‑work and a year‑long project intentionally reframing her beliefs about men.  Love is not a commodity — it's a living system. Joëlle describes intimacy as an ever‑present field we must stay aware of, not something given in “crumbs.” Relationships include a “sacred third.” She teaches that a partnership is not just two people, but a third entity — the relationship itself — that must be tended.  It's never too late to begin again. Whether healing childhood wounds or reigniting long‑term partnerships, growth is always possible.  Buy Unbreakable Us: Removing the Barriers to Love Amazon: https://amzn.to/4tEoIIq Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9781956442625 Connect with Joelle Website: https://joellelydon.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellelydon/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YourLovebyDesign LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joellelydon/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@joellelydon Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.

Inclusive perseverance is a collaborative and patient approach to overcoming obstacles. It involves individuals working together to bridge differences, embrace diverse perspectives, and ensure that no one is left behind in pursuit of a common goal. This concept combines a dedication to staying committed to a task despite challenges (perseverance) with a commitment to creating a respectful, equitable, and welcoming environment for everyone (inclusion).   Bill Volkmann is the founder of Empower Your Courage, a social media and technology company dedicated to achieving full inclusion for people with disabilities. His goal is to bridge the gap between technology companies and the disability community. Bill was the first student with an intellectual or developmental disability to attend New Jersey public schools after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law. He has cerebral palsy, and his parents instilled in him the belief that, despite having a disability, he was no different from anyone else. Growing up, Bill was passionate about baseball. Playing and watching the sport connected him with his classmates who did not have disabilities, helping them see who he truly was. Bill will be publishing a book in the upcoming year about his incredible life story.   I have overcome many challenges in my life, starting with being born with cerebral palsy due to a traumatic brain injury. I transitioned from a special needs school to becoming the first student with an intellectual or developmental disability to attend public school after the ADA was passed. Baseball has always been a significant part of my life; I have both played and watched it, and I love sports in general. My mother was a caregiver for me and for my father, who had multiple sclerosis. I have experienced the loss of my parents and my older sister, who played a significant role in taking care of me. Throughout my life, I have moved all over the country, and for the past few years, I have been living in San Diego. Initially, I didn't know anyone here, but now I have made many friends. I have not only founded my own company but am also becoming an advocate for disabilities at the state and federal levels.   Follow me on Instagram: @william_volkmann   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Gospel of John was written with a clear purpose: to awaken belief that leads to life. In this series, we'll walk through John's stories, signs, and teachings to discover what real faith looks like. Belief begins with a simple invitation—“Come and see”—and grows as we encounter Jesus in ordinary moments, wrestle with our doubts, and experience the transforming work of the Spirit. Along the way, we'll see Jesus break through barriers, meet us in seasons of grief, and call us to abide in Him. This is not just about a moment of faith, but a lifelong journey of trust, obedience, and hope in the risen Christ.

What if we stopped telling women how to stay safe, and started asking why violence against them keeps happening in the first place? On this episode, I'm joined for a second time, by Amy Watson, the founder of social enterprise HASSL. She's trying to tackle violence against women and girls at its root. Not with another awareness campaign or  safety app. But by building a global movement designed to shift responsibility away from women, and onto society. OverviewWhen Amy first joined the podcast a year ago, we discussed the scale and reality of violence against women. A year on, she returns to talk about what it actually takes to tackle it. In just twelve months, her social enterprise HASSL has grown into a global prevention movement: more than half a million followers, thousands of volunteers across over 120 countries, and campaigns reaching millions of people organically.But this isn't just a story about social media growth. It's about culture change. In an extended and wide-ranging disucssion, we explore why laws alone don't solve systemic problems, why “stay safe” advice can unintentionally reinforce the wrong narrative, and what happens when you apply entrepreneurial thinking to one of society's most entrenched issues.This is a conversation about scale, backlash, risk and moral ambition, and about what it means to build something that refuses to compromise.Guest Bio - Amy WatsonAmy is the founder of HASSL, a global social enterprise tackling harassment at the root.HASSL focuses on prevention — shifting responsibility for violence away from women as individuals and onto the cultural and systemic factors that enable harm. Combining research, education and partnerships, it aims to create scalable, long-term change rather than short-term fixes. In just over a year, HASSL has grown into a global movement with hundreds of thousands of followers and volunteers across more than 120 countries. Amy's work sits at the intersection of social justice and entrepreneurship, applying business thinking to one of society's most entrenched problems. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – Intro: From Problem to ActionChristian frames this follow-up as a shift from discussing violence against women to exploring what it takes to tackle it in practice. 02:00 – What HASSL Stands For Amy explains HASSL's prevention-first approach: shifting responsibility away from women and onto culture, systems and male behaviour. 05:00 – Scaling a Social Enterprise Rapid global growth, research-driven strategy, sustainable funding streams and a structured five-stage plan. 08:30 – Education & Engaging MenLaunch of free education resources, bystander tools and conversation frameworks designed to invite men into the solution. 16:00 – Entrepreneurship, Risk & Moral AmbitionApplying startup thinking to social change; sacrificing financial ambition for impact; long-term vision over quick wins. 35:00 – Values, Independence & Leadership Why Amy avoids outside investment, refuses to compromise on inclusivity, and builds operational resilience into the organisation. 58:30 – Backlash & Online Abuse Trolling, hate messages and the deliberate disruption of a webinar — and what that reveals about cultural normalisation. 01:05:00 – Using Criticism as LeverageTurning recurring myths (“false accusations”, “what about men?”) into educational opportunities and narrative shifts. 01:21:00 – Barriers to Reporting Why speaking out rarely benefits women; the structural and social costs involved.01:37:00 – Building a Movement How listeners can engage — and why lasting change requires persistence, scale and collective responsibility.Links Amy's previous appearance on the show - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/amy-watson-on-violence-against-women/HASSL - hassl.ukMoral Ambition by Rutger Bregman - https://www.moralambition.org/book

Dr. Sadia Malick has practiced medicine across four countries. She's delivered babies in the UK's best hospitals and in the mountains of Pakistan where women have nothing. She's founded a charity that's saved 8,000 mothers' lives. And she's spent her career caring for women who are told their suffering is just "the age of despair."Dr. Malick has spent her life caring for women across the UK, Pakistan, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. She founded a charity that trains midwives on clean, sanitary practices and provides lifesaving interventions to pregnant women in rural Pakistan. We discuss why 50% of global maternal deaths happen in just four countries, and how evidence based measures can save lives.We also talk about how menopause presents differently across cultures and populations, the cultural barriers women face when seeking care, and why conversations about hormones and aging remain deeply stigmatized in many regions. While symptoms may vary, what's universal is how much work we still have to do whether it's PCOS and insulin resistance, young cancer survivors entering menopause without follow up care, or ensuring every woman understands why vaginal estrogen matters.This conversation is about cultural humility, global health disparities, and why education about perimenopause needs to start in schools, not at age 40.Highlights:Maternal mortality is concentrated in just four countries, but simple interventions like clean supplies and IV iron can save lives.Menopause symptoms present differently across populations South Asian women experience more joint pain and mood issues than hot flashes.Cultural expectations around fertility and aging create additional barriers for women seeking menopause care.Young cancer survivors are sent home at 23 in menopause with no follow-up care or education about long-term health risks.Vaginal estrogen reduces death risk by 70% and should be part of routine care for women over 40.The average age of suicide for women in the UK is 51, and 70% of divorces happen after menopause.Get in Touch with Dr. Malick:SubstackInstagramLinkedInGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackMentioned in this episode:GSM CollectiveThe GSM Collective - Chicago Boutique concierge gynecology practice Led by Dr. Sameena Rahman, specialist in sexual medicine & menopause Unrushed appointments in a beautiful, private setting Personalized care for women's health, hormones, and pelvic floor issues Multiple membership options available Ready for personalized women's healthcare?

This startling gap in care is the driving force behind My Diabetes Tutor, a telehealth platform founded by Dr. Prem Sahasranam. His mission? To make diabetes education accessible to everyone, regardless of geography or socioeconomic barriers.Dr. Sahasranam, a board-certified endocrinologist with nearly two decades of experience, explained how critical education is in diabetes management: “Studies have shown that just going through diabetes education reduces A1C by 0.73 points. At our program, our outcomes are two times better than the national average.” With over 9,000 patients served, My Diabetes Tutor consistently delivers remarkable results, achieving an average A1C reduction of 1.6 points—enough to significantly lower complications and mortality rates.The idea for My Diabetes Tutor was born out of necessity. Dr. Sahasranam shared a story about how two full-time diabetes educators in his rural California practice helped patients achieve exceptional outcomes. When they retired in 2018, he struggled to recruit replacements, a problem endemic to underserved areas. “I decided to build a telehealth program,” he said. “My goal was to solve an access issue and deliver diabetes education to people, irrespective of their zip code or language.”My Diabetes Tutor provides nationally accredited virtual diabetes education, covering medical nutrition therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pump training, and more. The platform recently launched the first-ever pediatric diabetes education program, a groundbreaking step toward addressing the needs of young patients.Dr. Sahasranam's vision extends beyond patient outcomes to include investor participation. My Diabetes Tutor is currently raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “I want investors to own a piece of our growth and be part of our journey,” he said. The company generated over $2 million in revenue last year with a 61 percent gross margin, demonstrating both impact and financial viability.Dr. Sahasranam's work is not just about business; it's a mission to transform lives. By breaking down barriers to education, he's giving people the tools to manage their diabetes effectively, live healthier lives, and reduce complications.For those looking to make a difference—or simply to invest in a business delivering measurable impact—My Diabetes Tutor offers a unique opportunity.tl;dr:Dr. Prem Sahasranam founded My Diabetes Tutor to provide virtual education for diabetes management.The program addresses barriers to care in underserved communities by delivering telehealth services nationwide.My Diabetes Tutor achieves outcomes twice as effective as national averages in reducing A1C levels.The company generated over $2 million in 2025 and is raising capital via StartEngine crowdfunding.Prem credits emotional intelligence as his superpower, driving his mission to revolutionize diabetes care.How to Develop Emotional Intelligence As a SuperpowerDr. Prem describes his superpower as emotional intelligence, honed through years of experience as a board-certified endocrinologist. He explained, “Most health systems focus on the biology of the disease and fail to address the human part.” By understanding the emotional and practical needs of patients, Prem has created innovative solutions to improve access to diabetes education. He added, “I learned from my experience and built the right team, content, and technology to bring in diabetes education, easily accessible for patients.”Prem shared a pivotal story of a patient who had been struggling to control their diabetes despite receiving appropriate medications. The patient hesitated to make a two-hour drive to see Prem but eventually visited his practice and met with a diabetes educator. Without altering the patient's medications, the educator provided tailored guidance that helped the patient manage their condition. This experience inspired Prem to create My Diabetes Tutor, ensuring patients could access life-changing education from their own homes.Tips for Developing Emotional Intelligence:Reflect on past experiences to identify unmet needs and learn from them.Stay aware of the human challenges behind systemic issues.Focus on creating solutions that address both emotional and practical barriers.Build strong, empathetic teams that align with your mission.By following Dr. Prem's example and advice, you can make emotional intelligence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Johnny Quinn—U.S. Olympian, former professional football player, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of PUSH: Breaking Through the Barriers—to explore what it really takes to move forward when life doesn't go as planned. Johnny shares his remarkable journey of being cut from the NFL multiple times, losing millions in contracts, suffering a career-altering knee injury, and ultimately redefining his identity beyond the game. Rather than letting setbacks define him, Johnny explains how one powerful question—"What's next?"—became the catalyst that led him to represent Team USA in bobsled at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Throughout the conversation, Johnny breaks down the invisible barriers that hold high performers back, the difference between a setback and a setup, and how daily mindset choices shape our response to change, loss, and uncertainty. He also connects lessons from elite sport to leadership and organizational culture, explaining how accountability, resilience, and discomfort are essential ingredients for sustained high performance. This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence isn't about certainty—it's about adaptability, ownership, and the courage to keep pushing forward when the path changes.   You'll Learn: How to respond when your identity, plans, or goals fall apart Why asking "What's next?" is a powerful performance mindset The difference between a setback and a setup for growth How daily mindset practices build resilience and confidence What elite sport teaches us about leadership, culture, and accountability How to break through mental barriers that keep you stuck Johnny's definition of confidence—and how to cultivate it   Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Johnny Quinn: https://www.johnnyquinnusa.com/ Order PUSH: Breaking Through the Barriers: https://www.johnnyquinnusa.com/push/ Download our 2025 Confidence Crisis Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/  

The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community is made up of various ethnicities, languages, and translation needs, requiring different and individualized advocacy and policy discussions-- particularly when that policy relates to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. Christina Baal-Owens, Executive Director of the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF) sits down to talk with us about recent research performed by NAPAWF showing the most pervasive barriers to abortion access for the AAPI community and AAPI immigrants in the U.S. Stigma, cultural differences, language and translation, and healthcare deserts prevent AAPI immigrants from accessing necessary services, such as abortion. Additional clinics and health centers, improved language accessibility, and expanded access to health insurance (regardless of immigration status) are all options for lowering barriers to this care. It is important to remember that ICE activity impacts AAPI communities, too. ICE's presence negatively affects the realization of reproductive justice; many might be fearful to access services outside their homes, many might worry about their naturalization process, or others may be stymied by criminalization and stigma.For more information, check out Future Hindsight: https://www.futurehindsight.com/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Don and Tom step away from pure investing talk to explore how AI, layoffs, and stagnant wages are reshaping career paths—especially for young people and midlife career changers. Drawing on a Wall Street Journal article, they make the case that skilled trades and blue-collar careers are increasingly attractive alternatives to vulnerable white-collar jobs. They discuss service advisor roles, union trades, and apprenticeship paths, then pivot to listener questions on Robinhood bonuses, switching to financial advising later in life, and the risks of moving from AVGE to AVGV. Throughout, they emphasize self-knowledge, discipline, and long-term thinking—whether choosing a career or building a portfolio. 0:04 Why this episode is about earning money, not just investing 0:31 Encouraging parents to rethink college-only career paths 1:15 AI, layoffs, and the shrinking white-collar job market 2:32 Crash Champions and the rise of service advisor careers 3:31 Don's dealership days and why he left the car business 5:12 Learning to drive stick shift the hard way 6:46 Apprenticeships, $60K starting pay, and growth potential 7:34 Work-life balance in blue-collar vs. white-collar jobs 8:36 Why contractors struggle with communication and planning 9:05 Demand for skilled trades and handyman services 9:47 Labor shortages: factory, construction, and auto techs 10:36 Demographics and the retirement of skilled workers 11:35 Pensions, unions, and taking responsibility for retirement 12:45 Finding yourself in your 20s and career experimentation 13:04 New Tales Told plug and early radio career story 14:23 Listener: Robinhood bonuses and disciplined investing 15:41 Why Robinhood encourages risky behavior 17:23 Listener: Becoming a financial advisor at 55 18:31 Barriers to entry and starting an independent RIA 19:14 Why people skills matter more than math skills 20:45 How AI will reshape the advisory profession 22:07 Shift from brokerage to fiduciary advising 23:18 Listener: Switching from AVGE to AVGV 24:47 Risk tolerance and fund volatility 26:31 Splitting funds and managing behavioral risk Learn more about your ad choices.

Physicians face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide risk than the general population — yet fewer than one in three with a mental health condition ever receives care. In this episode, Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, professor of anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Global Chief Medical Officer for AIDOC, discusses what happens when physicians consider getting help. The conversation looks at how concerns about licensing, confidentiality, and other structural barriers can make seeking care feel risky, and why progress has been uneven.

The Gospel of John was written with a clear purpose: to awaken belief that leads to life. In this series, we'll walk through John's stories, signs, and teachings to discover what real faith looks like. Belief begins with a simple invitation—“Come and see”—and grows as we encounter Jesus in ordinary moments, wrestle with our doubts, and experience the transforming work of the Spirit. Along the way, we'll see Jesus break through barriers, meet us in seasons of grief, and call us to abide in Him. This is not just about a moment of faith, but a lifelong journey of trust, obedience, and hope in the risen Christ.
