Things got a little heated on this one.And the funny part is... this wasn't even supposed to be a podcast.We were hanging out with Ben Humble after last week's episode when Cam started pressing him on his system for finding real estate deals - and the debate took off from there.The conversation was too good NOT to share, so... here's the accidental podcast.In this episode:

If you've been wondering "What is actually the best way to get over my ex and build a bigger, better life?" I want to make this really simple for you. I've realized I haven't been nearly direct enough about the new way you can work with me, and after getting question after question from listeners, I knew I needed to explain exactly what I created and who it's for. In this episode, I'm breaking down the Beyond Your Breakup Membership and why I designed it differently from anything I've offered before. Whether you're secretly hoping your ex comes back, still obsessing even though you know he isn't right for you, feeling guilty about leaving, trying to repair a marriage after an affair, mostly over your ex but stuck in the final stretch, or completely ready to stop talking about your breakup and start building the life you actually want, there's a reason I believe this is the place to do that work. I'll explain the two steps we're focused on, what makes this different from my original Get Over Your Ex program, and what it actually looks like to have ongoing coaching, support, community, and access to my entire body of work while you build what comes next. If you've been waiting for a sign that there's a more direct way to do this work with me, listen to this episode. Beyond Your Breakup Membership: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/beyondyourbreakup/ 

From the moment we enter this world, we become aware that we need to be loved. As we grow older, we feel compelled to give love to others. In this sermon, we look at the importance of love in our lives, and how the Holy Spirit can help us become more loving. Key Verses: Galatians 5:22-23, John 15:9-17

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor is joined by Megan Piper to explore how EOS® helped transform a technology business From $3M to $52M, while creating greater clarity, accountability, and trust across the leadership team.Megan shares her journey from an unhappy French teacher to becoming an Integrator and fractional CFO, playing a key role in helping a technology business grow from $3 million to $52 million. Her experience demonstrates how the right operating system can bring structure and consistency to a rapidly growing organisation without creating unnecessary rigidity.Throughout the conversation, Megan and Debra explore how EOS creates a common language for leadership teams, helping them move away from ad hoc follow-up and towards consistent quarterly execution. Rather than being a fixed structure or piece of software, EOSprovides a framework that can be adapted to the needs of each organisation.With distributed teams becoming increasingly common, Megan and Debra also discuss the importance of intentional communication and how virtual environments can sometimes reduce hierarchy and give more people an opportunity to participate.This episode offers an insightful look at what can happen when a growing business combines a clear operating system with strong leadership, accountability, and trust. From $3M to $52M is not simply a story about revenue growth, but about the people, systems, and leadership practices that helped make that growth possible.

For David, God didn't just give him rest or provisions, God restored him. God is able to restore the things that have been broken.

Kevin "Fresh" Townsend grew up in Brooklyn with his father in prison and his mother raising him on her own. He took to the streets at a young age, dropped out of high school, became involved with gangs, and started dealing drugs. Then, at just 19 years old, he landed on America's Most Wanted for a murder he says he did not commit. After two trials, Kevin was convicted and sentenced to 20 years to life in New York state prison. Over the next two decades, he ran with the Bloods, navigated Rikers Island, and survived some of New York's toughest maximum-security prisons. After serving 20 years, Kevin finally walked free — just two weeks before sitting down to record this episode. _____________________________________________ Become an EXCLUSIVE Locked In: After Hours Member & recieve a FREE merch box: https://lockedin.supportingcast.fm/ _____________________________________________ Connect with Kevin "Fresh" Townsend: Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPSW499L?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/townsendrealm/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Kevin 00:50 Growing Up in Brooklyn 02:10 The Impact of Having a Father in Prison 03:03 Street Lessons and Gang Life 03:57 Gambling and the Addiction to Money 06:10 The Routine of Gang Life 08:12 Staying Away from Selling Drugs 10:14 Family Love and His Father's Advice 12:56 Reading Books and Dreaming of a Better Life 14:27 A History of Violence and Fear 17:35 Charged with Murder 25:53 Arrest and Interrogation 27:31 Lack of Evidence and False Testimony 30:19 First Day at Rikers and the Start of Prison Life 34:00 First Trial and Mistrial 37:12 Convicted at the Second Trial 40:01 Sentencing and a 20-Year Prison Sentence 44:37 Failed Appeals and Losing Hope 48:53 Sent Upstate to Prison 51:18 Five Points and Adjusting to a New Life 54:00 Prison Rules and Survival Tactics 57:19 Solitary Confinement and Mental Struggles 59:49 Transfers Between Prisons and Different Experiences 01:04:18 Relationships with Other Inmates and Unexpected Events 01:07:57 Back in Solitary and Working on Himself 01:12:54 Released from Prison and Reuniting with Family 01:15:19 Adjusting to Life on the Outside 01:18:50 New Goals and Hope for the Future 01:23:22 Marriage and Relationship Struggles 01:26:29 Lessons from Prison and Advice for Young People _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Ben Humble escaped communist Romania as a kid, lived in a refugee camp, moved to Canada, failed math twice, started a cleaning business... and somehow ended up doing hundreds of real estate deals.So yeah, we had a lot to talk about.Ben joins Cam and me for a conversation about his journey into real estate, the lessons he learned after trying just about every strategy in the book, and the framework that eventually changed the way he looks at buying properties entirely.We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ego, humility, social media, and whether successful people have a responsibility to share what they've learned.In this episode:

My Sadhana.

You want to help your family. Someone you trust offers an opportunity to earn extra income, work from home, and become financially independent. They introduce you to enthusiastic people who seem to share your values. Perhaps they attend your house of worship. Then you discover that making money requires recruiting other people. When the income fails to materialize, you are encouraged to buy more training, pay for coaching, and work on your lack of belief that you can become a millionaire by working part-time. By this point, questioning the opportunity may feel like questioning your friends, your faith, or your own ability to succeed.I have encountered these patterns for decades in my work with people harmed by commercial cults that do multi-level marketing (MLMs). Other varieties of commercial cults include trafficking and crypto. My guest on Cults, Culture & Coercion, Dr. William Keep, has spent decades examining the business practices behind them. I have known Bill for many years through our shared concern about multi-level marketing and pyramid schemes. A former business school dean at the College of New Jersey, he has helped attorneys and government investigators evaluate these operations. Our conversation explored how financial deception works, why it can be so difficult to recognize from inside, and what happens when businesses gain influence over the institutions meant to protect us.

"Sin" is not a common word in our world today. But if we want to move towards a better life, we have to understand what's really wrong with us, as a way of also understanding what God offers us with his grace. In this sermon, we see how sin works, the kind of life it creates, and what it costs us. Key Verses: Galatians 5:19-21

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor is joined by Keith, an executive coach and leadership development specialist, to explore how to stop trying to be right and start getting curious in our relationships, teams & organisations.Keith shares insights from his background in clinical social work, family therapy, executive coaching & Conversational Intelligence, explaining how quickly our brains begin assessing whether an interaction feels safe or threatening. He explores how much of that assessment happens through non-verbal communication, including tone, body language, eye contact, attention & listening behaviours.The conversation dives into why trust can be built through authentic curiosity & genuine listening, and how easily it can be damaged when leaders interrupt, become distracted, make assumptions or enter conversations already convinced they know the answer.Keith encourages leaders to become more aware of the signals they are sending and to take responsibility for their own contribution to a relationship.Debra & Keith also explore what happens when trust has already been damaged. Rebuilding it requires courage, empathy & a willingness to acknowledge that a relationship has become difficult. Rather than allowing negative assumptions to grow, leaders can create space to discuss what each person needs & make the invisible dynamics visible.This episode is a valuable listen for leaders, entrepreneurs & family business owners who want to understand how everyday conversations can either build or break trust, and how becoming more intentional about communication can transform the way people work together.CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer® | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/ ___________________________________________      GUEST'S DETAILS:► Keith Greer – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-greer-l-c-s-w-p-c-c-81256a130/ ► Website – Keith Greer Coaching – https://www.keithgreercoaching.com/ Ep 290 Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:36 – Keith Grier's Professional Journey 06:35 – The Science of Conversational Intelligence 12:52 – Building Trust Through Communication 17:18 – Navigating Difficult Conversations 21:27 – Dynamics in Family Businesses 32:47 – Implementing Trust and Safety Agreements 54:17 – Managing Personalities and Styles 54:57 – Key Takeaways for Effective Leadership

We're back.After taking the entire summer off, Cam and I finally sat down for another episode of The Better Life Podcast - and a LOT has changed.Cam moved his family back from Maui to Missouri.His flipping business has had one of its roughest years yet.I've had a difficult year in real estate too.So this episode is a pretty honest conversation about what happens when business doesn't keep going up and to the right - and how that changes the way you think about money, lifestyle, and financial freedom.In this episode:

Most of us want to have a better life. The Bible makes an astounding claim — that one of the surest ways we can have a better life is by letting the Holy Spirit guide us. As we begin a new series, we look at what it means to follow the Holy Spirit's lead, and how he can give us the life we most need. Key Verses: Galatians 5:16-18

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor explores why leaders flying blind can put an entire business at risk, and how the right data can give leadership teams the visibility they need to make better decisions.Debra explains why businesses rarely fail without warning. Before major problems appear, there are usually subtle signals hiding in the numbers, from declining sales and increasing debtor days to changes in customer behaviour and operational performance. The challenge is knowing which numbers actually matter and using them early enough to do something about them.A key focus of the episode is the difference between leading and lagging indicators. Revenue, profit & customer loss tell you what has already happened, while measures such as sales calls, proposals sent & other activity-based indicators can provide an early warning of what is likely to happen next. Debra explains how leaders can reverse engineer their desired outcomes to identify the activities that will influence future results.Debra also explores why a Scorecard should work like a car dashboard. It does not need to tell you exactly what has gone wrong, but it should alert you to where you need to look before a small issue becomes a major problem. Keeping the leadership Scorecard to five to fifteen critical numbers makes it easier to spot trends without overwhelming the team with unnecessary data.Ultimately, this episode is about replacing hope & hindsight with visibility and action. A strong Scorecard gives leaders the information they need to spot problems early, investigate what is really happening & make course corrections before issues become catastrophic.If your leadership team is making decisions based on gut feel, outdated financial reports or numbers that tell you what happened rather than what is coming next, this episode will help you build a Scorecard that keeps you from flying blind.

What does it actually take to change your body—and why do so many intelligent, motivated people struggle to do what they already know they should do?In this special episode of Faithful Fitness, Coach Alex republishes his conversation from the Rhino and the Bat podcast for a wide-ranging discussion on health, discipline, psychology, faith, suffering, community, and what it means to become 1% better daily.But there's another reason this conversation belongs here.Rhino and Alex come from different faith traditions. Rhino shares during the conversation that he is Hindu; Alex is a Christian. Rather than avoiding that difference, Alex brings his Christian understanding of the body directly into the fitness conversation: we are created by God, our bodies have been entrusted to us, and health is ultimately about stewardship—not vanity, comparison, self-worship, or chasing the perfect physique.That is part of the mission of Faithful Fitness: to put more faith into fitness while removing the confusion and vanity from it.In this conversation, Alex shares his experience living and training with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, why small changes compound into transformation, why knowledge without action changes nothing, how motivation should be used to build systems, why discipline can be developed, and why sustainable fitness is fundamentally a community project.They also explore the relationship between physical and mental health, exercise and nutrition, gratitude, asking for help, resilience, hormone replacement therapy, entrepreneurship, parenting, sleep—and, somehow, sardines.For the Christian listening, there is also a challenge here:Our stewardship should become a testimony.Not perfect bodies. Not performative fitness. Not obsession.But men and women whose lives increasingly demonstrate self-control, gratitude, endurance, humility, strength, and faithful care for what God has entrusted to them.Because the question isn't simply:“How do I build a better body?”It's:“How do I become more faithful with the body I've been given?”And wherever you're starting, there is something you can do about where you are.You don't have to do it alone.TAKE YOUR NEXT STEPTake the Faithful Fitness Assessment:https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentYour assessment will help you identify where you are right now and what may need your attention next.After completing it, reserve your spot for the Faithful Fitness Next Steps Seminar, held live on the first Wednesday of every month.

Shawn Achor is one of the world's leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset has appeared in Harvard Business Review, his TED Talk has been viewed more than 25 million times, and he is the New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential. His latest book is The Power of Beliefs: How Strengthening Seven Core Beliefs Predicts Greater Success and a Better Life. Shawn explores how our beliefs shape not only how we experience the present, but what happens next. He explains why positive statements alone often fail to create change—and how pairing a belief with evidence and an "if-then" qualifier can turn it into something actionable. He walks through seven core beliefs, including that our behavior matters, we matter, we are not alone, our work is meaningful, and there is something to be grateful for. The conversation also explores FOMO, social connection, team cohesion, burnout, and the negative expectations leaders can unintentionally create. Shawn explains how reframing stress as meaningful can change its effects and why the beliefs circulating within a team can influence both well-being and performance. Throughout, Shawn returns to a central idea: beliefs are not simply reflections of our circumstances; they can help shape what becomes possible. He offers practical ways leaders can strengthen productive beliefs in themselves and in the people around them. Key Moments Why positive belief statements don't always move people forward How "if then" statements connect belief to action The four forces working against our beliefs The seven core beliefs Shawn wants people to strengthen Why "my behavior doesn't matter" and "I'm alone" are so damaging Why social connection predicts happiness and success Why people need to pursue solutions with one another How doing something together cut burnout in half Why FOMO is connected to fantasy What social cohesion has to do with performance How leaders can unintentionally create nocebos Why finding meaning in stress changes its effects Why success doesn't guarantee happiness The Leadership Podcast is sponsored by W.S.

Heyyy Encouragers! Welcome to the Be Encouraged! Podcast! I'm your host, Jackie Brindle, and I'm so glad you're here.We're in Season 5, and today is Episode 2 of our Chosen Series: “Chosen to Be Near to God.”Have you ever felt like God is distant or wondered what it really means to have a relationship with Him? Maybe you simply need a jumpstart to remember this truth: you were intentionally created, deeply loved, and chosen by God.Ephesians 1:4 says:“For he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before him.”God didn't just choose you to accomplish something for Him—He chose you to be near to Him. And through Jesus, He made a way for us to draw close.Today, April Osteen Simons is here to encourage us to wake up with a new perspective and believe that we are intentionally designed, deeply loved, and chosen by God.April is a mother, grandmother, motivational speaker, and author of Jump Start Your Day: Brighten Your Mornings for a Bolder, Better Life. She also shares encouragement through her House of Hope YouTube series, the Better Life Podcast, and as a guest on Daystar's Joni Table Talk.So, how might knowing you are chosen to be near to God change the way you start your day?If this conversation encourages you, share it with a friend who may need a fresh wind of faith-filled encouragement today—and tag me on Instagram @be_encouraged_podcast so we can encourage even more people together.And if you're new here, subscribe to the Be Encouraged!

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor is joined by Bobby Rouse to explore the risks of picking and choosing EOS tools instead of embracing EOS® as a complete operating system. Bobby shares his journey from growing up on a farm in Idaho to becoming a serial entrepreneur and Professional EOS Implementer®. His experiences across management, technology & business helped him recognise the value of EOS as a practical framework for creating clarity, discipline & stronger leadership teams. A key theme throughout the conversation is that EOS works because the tools are designed to work together. Bobby explains that businesses do not change simply because they introduce a Level 10 Meeting® or a Scorecard. Real change happens when the people within the organisation change how they think, communicate, make decisions & hold one another accountable. Debra & Bobby discuss why businesses that self-implement often fall into the trap of picking and choosing EOS tools. A leadership team might adopt Level 10 Meetings or create a Scorecard while overlooking foundational tools such as the Accountability Chart® and People Analyzer®. While this can create some improvement, it rarely delivers the full transformation EOS is designed to create. Bobby & Debra also unpack the importance of keeping Scorecards simple. Using a scuba diving analogy, Bobby explains that leaders do not need hundreds of numbers to understand whether a business is healthy. They need the handful of critical numbers that tell them whether they are heading in the right direction. The episode goes beyond business implementation too, with practical advice on staying in your designated seat, using your calendar to architect your life & taking regular Clarity Breaks when pressure and uncertainty increase. Bobby also shares the “Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it kind?” framework as a useful way to challenge the stories & communication patterns that can affect both teams and individuals.

In this episode of The Better Life with Dr. Pinkston, host Dr. Pinkston is joined by recurring guest Ray Solano from PD Labs to break down the current state of modern healthcare, online telemedicine platforms, and the true value of personalized compounding pharmacy services. Together, they discuss: The Telemedicine Boom: Why quick online quizzes and pill-delivery services lack continuity of care, miss underlying health issues, and prioritize profit over long-term patient support. What Truly Is Personalized Medicine? How custom compounding, off-label therapies (like low-dose naltrexone), and tailored dosages solve complex health challenges. Debunking Compounding Myths: Understanding the heavy federal and state regulations, strict quality controls, and advanced tech—including 3D printing—behind accredited compounding pharmacies. Chronic Illness Solutions: Insights into tackling root-cause issues like mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and chronic microbial infections. Advocating for Patient Rights: Updates on legislative battles to protect patient access to vital therapies like custom thyroid formulations and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Why would a parent take their child on a dangerous journey to the United States? Gabrielle Oliveira argues that one of the most overlooked answers is care.Oliveira, a Harvard professor who studies immigration, education, and family migration, spent years following 16 migrant families from Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. She explains how violence, insecurity, and a lack of opportunity push families to leave, while safety and education become central to what they hope to find in America.We talk about border detention and family separation, what children remember about migration, why American schools can represent opportunity for immigrant families, and Oliveira's idea of “constrained care” among teachers trying to support immigrant students.She also challenges the way immigrant children are often portrayed only as victims or extraordinary success stories, leaving out the ordinary lives most children eventually build.BOOKBook: Now We Are Here: Family Migration, Children's Education, and Dreams for a Better Lifehttps://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781503644540GUEST BIOGabrielle Oliveira is the Jorge Paulo Lemann Associate Professor of Education and Brazil Studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. An anthropologist of education, her research examines immigration, mobility, family life, and children's schooling across borders. She is the author of Motherhood Across Borders and Now We Are Here: Family Migration, Children's Education, and Dreams for a Better Life, which received the 2026 American Educational Research Association Outstanding Book Award.

Hiring his first manager, Steve, gave him the support & perspective he needed to step away from the operational side of the business and focus on growth. Mathis explains how having the right people in the right seats became a crucial part of his journey.His experience with Vistage during the challenges of COVID-19 eventually introduced him to EOS®. Although initially sceptical, Mathis discovered how the EOS framework could bring structure, accountability & clarity to his growing business. Through tools such as the Level 10 Meeting®, Accountability Chart® & Scorecard, his leadership team developed stronger communication, clearer priorities & greater ownership.The conversation also highlights the importance of asking for help, surrounding yourself with a supportive network & being willing to learn from others. Mathis shares how mentors, peer groups & the EOS community helped him achieve not only greater business success but also more peace & fulfilment.If you're feeling stuck in your business, doing too much yourself, or wondering what it takes to scale successfully, this episode offers an honest & inspiring look at what can happen when you ask for help, build the right team & create the structure needed to grow.CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer® | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra.chantry-taylor@eosworldwide.com►EOS Worldwide: https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/debra-chantry-taylor/___________________________________________       GUEST'S DETAILS: ► Mathis Young – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathisyoung/ ► Website – EOS Worldwide – https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/mathis-young/ Ep 287 Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:32 – Mathis Young's Journey to Entrepreneurship 02:33 – Mathis' Entry Into the Dog Grooming Franchise 05:23 – The Turning Point: Hiring a Manager 08:48 – Joining Vistage and Discovering EOS® 11:42 – Implementing EOS® and Its Impact 25:14 – Transitioning to an EOS Implementer®31:11 – Mathis' Approach as an EOS Implementer® 34:31 – Challenges and Successes with Clients 40:54 – Mathis' Personal Reflections

George Wright III welcomes Spencer Carpenter, founder of Outlier Audio, to explain how podcasting helps entrepreneurs build authority, trust, and long-term business value. Drawing on more than 3,500 interviews booked since 2020, Spencer shows why the right audience matters more than the largest audience and how long-form conversations let personality and expertise come through. He breaks down the KAOR framework—keywords, audience, outcomes, and reputable figures—for finding relevant shows and developing topics that connect. The conversation also explores hosting versus guesting, the hidden value of relationships and SEO, and why interviews should be treated as reusable content and personal-brand assets rather than judged only by immediate sales. Spencer's challenge is simple: clarify who you want to reach, what outcome they want, and build podcast opportunities around fit instead of vanity metrics.00:00 — Right Audience Over Reach01:00 — Meet Spencer Carpenter02:00 — From Music to Podcasting05:00 — Entrepreneurs as the Talent08:00 — Hosting Versus Guesting09:00 — Strategy Before Perfection12:00 — Why Guest Interviews Work16:00 — The KAOR Framework21:00 — Value Beyond Direct Sales25:00 — Building Lasting AuthorityThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever feel like you're constantly trying new productivity tools, apps, and systems, but still find yourself overwhelmed by everything you need to remember and manage? Maybe you have a calendar, a to-do list, reminders, and countless notes—but you're still spending too much mental energy figuring out what needs to happen next.The problem isn't always that you need a better productivity app. Sometimes, what you really need are simple, repeatable processes that take work off your brain and make everyday life easier to manage.In this re-release, Lisa revisits one of her favorite behind-the-scenes episodes and shares the seven productivity techniques she uses regularly to keep both her business and home life running as smoothly as possible. From mind sweeping and task lists to automation, templates, checklists, scheduling, and a family command center, she walks through the practical systems that help her stay organized without relying on complicated productivity hacks.You'll learn why mind sweeping can help clear mental clutter, how to turn an overwhelming to-do list into a focused list of your most important tasks, and why automating repetitive work can save more energy than you might realize.

Through personal stories about improving her health, waking up at 5:00 a.m., and growing her business, she explains how keeping promises to yourself, maintaining clarity about your biggest goal, and refusing to backslide can create ripple effects across every area of life. Rach encourages listeners to identify the one decision they already know they need to make, commit to it fully, and trust that consistent action is what ultimately changes the trajectory of their future. *Friday Favorites are a collection of our all-time most popular episodes replayed for the newest members of the community and anyone who wants a relisten.
