There are more than 40 million apartments in the United States, of which half are owned and operated by small portfolios, otherwise known as independent rental owners (IRO). On this episode of the NAA Apartmentcast, we're joined by Demetrio Jiminez, President and Owner of Tropicana Properties in El Paso, Texas, and 2026 Chair of the NAA Affordable Housing Committee; and Megan Orser, CEO and Business Strategist for Smart Apartment Solutions and Smart Moves in Howell, Michigan, as well as the 2024 Chair of NAA's Independent Rental Owners Committee, to dive deep into the real stories behind the rental housing market and discussing something that affects millions of Americans: Affordable housing. But we're not just talking policy or theory. We're talking to the people who are in the trenches: IROs, rental owners, small-scale investors and property managers who are shaping the future of housing, one unit at a time. Is affordability a moral obligation, a market failure, or a business opportunity? Listen to find out.For more information and resources for IROs, including the NAA Click & Lease small owner package, visit https://naahq.org/Please note that as is the case for all NAA Apartmentcast episodes, nothing contained within this podcast should be treated as legal advice.

Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock continue their conversation on how churches can effectively reach small towns and rural communities, using the Converge article “10 Ways to Reach Your Rural Community” as a springboard. If you're a rural pastor, church replanter, or leader in a small-town church, this episode will help you think creatively about evangelism, outreach, and community engagement in your context. In this episode, they explore how to: 1. Take your hobby out of the church lobby Use your personal interests—sports, crafts, coffee, hunting, music—to build real relationships in the community. Host hobby-based gatherings in neutral spaces like coffee shops, parks, or community centers to connect with unchurched neighbors. 2. Be a good neighbor in practical, everyday ways Live out the gospel through simple acts of kindness, presence, and service in your small town. Look for opportunities to help your literal neighbors, local businesses, and community organizations. 3. Turn your church's “wow factor” up to 11 on one thing Identify one outreach, ministry, or community event your church can do with excellence. Focus your limited resources to make a big impact in a specific area that blesses your rural community. 4. Go “all in” on building bridges to your community Invest time and energy in long-term relationships with schools, city leaders, nonprofits, and local families. Create ongoing partnerships instead of one-time projects, so your church becomes a trusted presence in town. Ideal for: Rural and small-town pastors Church replanters and revitalization leaders Churches wanting to reach their rural community with the gospel Resources Mentioned in This Episode Article: “10 Ways to Reach Your Rural Community” by the Converge Network Use this episode as a practical guide for rural church revitalization, small-town church outreach strategies, and community engagement that keeps Christ and His mission at the center.

As we enter December and close out the final month of 2025, this episode brings our year-long exploration of restored, intentional female leadership full circle. We've spent the past twelve months talking about presence, friendship, boundaries, nervous system health, community spaces, and the internal work that helps women lead sustainably. This month, we're turning our attention outward—to the communities we belong to. In this episode, Molly shares a deeply personal story of her own evolution as a community volunteer: from an enthusiastic, overcommitted "young mom with a mission" to a thoughtful, seasonally-aware leader who has learned how to give back without losing herself (most of the time, anyway). I talk about the boards I have served on, the projects I've helped lead, the burnout that followed, and the moment I finally gave herself permission to step back. You'll also hear how to bring your gifts, energy, and leadership into your community in ways that honor your capacity, why service doesn't have to be huge or flashy to be meaningful, and how even small acts of care ripple out more than you think. What You'll Hear in This Episode Molly's personal stories of serving on local boards, capital campaigns, and community revitalization projects What I learned from burnout, resentment, and stepping away Malcolm Gladwell's 3 criteria for "meaningful work" and how they apply to volunteering The shift from "lifelong service clubs" to "short-term, high-impact" volunteer models Ideas for serving your community in ways that fit your season of life Real examples of women who made big change through small acts (cookie fundraisers, concert series, park lighting, youth leadership) Why your leadership belongs—even if your gifts look different than someone else's Practical questions to help you discern where and how you are called to serve right now Key Quotes "You don't have to change the world for your service to be meaningful and valuable." "Some seasons are for rolling up your sleeves. Some seasons are for amplifying others. Both are service." "When women bring ideas into community spaces, change happens faster and it sticks."

Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock unpack practical ways churches can reach small towns and rural communities, drawing from the Converge article, “10 Ways to Reach Your Rural Community.” If you're a pastor or church leader in a small town, this episode will help you think more strategically about evangelism, outreach, and community presence in a rural context. In this episode, they discuss how to: 1. Make sure no second-time guest slips through the cracks. Create simple follow-up systems for visitors. Help guests connect with real relationships, not just programs. 2. Get your church into the local news and community conversation. Look for ways to serve that are newsworthy in your small town. Build relationships with local media, schools, and civic leaders. 3. Get “schooled” by engaging your local schools. Support teachers, staff, and students in practical ways. Volunteer, mentor, and show up consistently at school events. 4. Be offensive—in the right way. Play offense by taking the gospel outside your building. Move from a “come and see” mindset to a “go and tell” lifestyle. 5. Bust out of the Sunday morning box. Think beyond worship services to weekly rhythms of mission. Use everyday spaces and everyday routines for intentional outreach. 6. Be a regular in your community. Build a faithful presence at local coffee shops, restaurants, and parks. Become known as a pastor or church member who genuinely cares. Ideal for: Rural pastors Replanters in small towns Church leaders looking to reach their local community more effectively Resources Mentioned in This Episode Article: “10 Ways to Reach Your Rural Community” by the Converge Network Use this conversation as a practical playbook for rural church revitalization, small-town church outreach, and community engagement that keeps the gospel at the center.

Do you ever feel like there's just not enough time in the day? Well, one author says that simple daily rituals can help you reclaim your time, reduce stress and help you better enjoy your life.

This week's episode is a sweet, simple reminder of how small changes can make a home feel more like you. Laurie and I began in her kitchen, at the long window seat that greets you the moment you enter from the back door. Even with its beautiful view, it felt unfinished to her—like it wasn't yet saying, We live here. As we talked, I encouraged her to trust the instincts she already had: using her own textiles, adding a little color, choosing organic patterns, and even hanging plants to bring some life into the space. We moved through the nearby rooms too, touching on lighting challenges and the beginnings of a gallery wall. In the end, every question circled back to the same truth: her home just needed more of her, and she already knew exactly how to make that happen. Want to finally define your style?

Intentional Discipleship – Small Circles, Big Impact | Steve McCoy To view Small Circles Resources visit: https://www.smallcircle.com/  The recipe for a culture of discipleship requires some indispensable ingredients and among the essentials are two primary components: intentional strategy and tools.

Join Bobby Harrington (Discipleship.org Founder and Executive Director) as he interacts with Steve McCoy who is a senior pastor and the visionary behind small circle.

McCoy discusses his journey from church planting to leading a thriving congregation that emphasizes intentional discipleship. Central to this approach is the concept of the '360 Church,' represented by three circles: large weekend worship gatherings, mid-sized small groups, and intimate one-on-one or micro-group discipleship settings. This method aims to replicate Jesus' relational disciple-making style, fostering deeper connections and spiritual growth among church members. McCoy outlines the various levels of discipleship at 360 Church, such as congregational worship, deeper discussions in small groups, and highly personalized one-on-one discipleship relationships. He also introduces a discipleship tool called 'Small Circle,' which is available for free on mobile apps and features a range of resources structured to ease everyday people into disciple-making roles. The tool includes detailed lesson plans, scripture, memory verses, and methods for fostering a strong relational depth. The discussion further goes into the importance of practical tools in empowering individuals like 'truck driver Ted' to become effective disciple-makers. Steve McCoy emphasizes the necessity of providing everyday church members with the confidence and resources to engage in discipleship, thereby creating a movement within the church community. Today's video promotes the logical use of discipleship tools that go beyond mere information transfer to achieve life transformation and relational depth. This video is a must-watch for church leaders, pastors, and anyone interested in practical disciple-making strategies. Tune in to learn how intentional and relational discipleship can transform both individuals and entire church communities. We would be honored if you would share this video, to grow our mission of equipping the church to make disciples.

Alé Duarte, somatic therapist and creator of KidSoma joins me this week to explore how tuning into your child's natural rhythms can completely transform the way you understand their emotions and reactions.   Together we unpack:   - Why play isn't a break from learning, it is the learning. - What it means to help your child "complete a cycle" so their nervous system can settle and grow. - How "unfinished cycles" can leave kids dysregulated, impulsive, or anxious—and what parents can do to help their child complete these cycles in daily life. - Realistic ways to implement these strategies even when you're juggling busy schedules, time pressures, and the realities of everyday parenting. - Why slowing down and following your child's lead can actually make mornings smoother, transitions easier, and connection deeper.   If you've ever wished you could understand what's happening underneath your child's big emotions and find a calmer rhythm for your entire family system, this conversation will change the way you see play, presence, and parenting.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Host: Mindy McCulley, MS Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Specialist for Instructional Support, University of Kentucky  Guest: Monica Mundy, PhD Assistant Extension Professor for Family and Community Health Season 8, Episode 24 In the episode of  Talking FACS host Mindy McCulley sits down with guest Dr. Monica Mundy, Extension Specialist for Family and Community Health. They explore the eight dimensions of wellness — emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual — and discuss why balance across these areas matters for overall quality of life. Dr. Mundy explains the "wellness wheel" metaphor and offers practical, research-based strategies listeners can use: mindfulness and journaling for emotional health; decluttering and accessing green spaces for environmental wellness; budgeting and small savings for financial security; puzzles and lifelong learning for intellectual wellness; setting boundaries and finding satisfaction for occupational wellness; daily movement, better sleep, and nutrition for physical wellness; nurturing supportive relationships for social wellness; and meditation, prayer, or gratitude practices for spiritual wellness. The episode emphasizes starting small: take an inventory of the eight areas, pick one realistic step, and build habits over time to create lasting balance and improved wellbeing.

Running a small business feels like jumping out of a plane and building the parachute on the way down… all while managing a team, cash flow, and our kid's snack schedule. In this LIVE episode at the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Summit, I sit down with three women who prove that entrepreneurship isn't just about revenue and hiring — it's about who you become while you're building. You'll hear from: Natalie Kaddas - CEO of Kaddas Enterprises and respected community and business leader who serves on the San Francisco Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Natalie talks about: Using her seat at powerful tables to make sure small business voices are heard, even when those business owners can't be in the room. How the 10KSB program helped her dream bigger, pivot, and grow from survival mode into strategic leadership. Why confidence is built like a muscle: through showing up, practicing, and doing it scared instead of waiting to “feel ready.” Tessa Arneson - Co-founder of Maven District, where a pilates studio has evolved into a vibrant, women-powered real estate and community hub where 75% of the businesses are women-owned. Tessa is on a mission to help women lead with their whole selves — with love and curiosity — without burning out in the process. In this conversation, Tessa pulls back the curtain on: Why she doesn't believe you can “do it all” and why the grind-24/7, “sleep-when-you're-dead” hustle culture is a fast track to mental and physical collapse — especially for women. Her non-negotiable rituals for staying well while running a business How her business partner, Rocky, taught their team to use top 3 daily priorities Her advice to women who want to start a business but are scared Perlla Deluca - Owner & CEO of Southeast Constructors and founder of the Pink Hard Hat Foundation, Perlla is an immigrant woman thriving in construction — and building a movement for women and people of color in the trades. In this episode, she shares: How the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program helped her learn financials and leverage, leading her to eventually open a school and foundation — all powered by access to capital and the belief that she could do more. How she refuses to let negativity live rent-free in her mind, using gratitude and mindset as daily practices, especially when things are hard. Why success, for her, is measured in people and growth, not money — and why she's more excited about her students buying homes than she is about her own wins. A big thank-you to Goldman Sachs for the work they're doing through the 10,000 Small Businesses program — a $750 million commitment helping entrepreneurs across the U.S. grow, hire, and lead through education, support, and access to capital.

Behind the Screen: The Impact of AI Companions on Adolescents Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat84 Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need This will be a two-part podcast that will focus on the psychological effects of cyberbullying and AI companions. This will be specific to adolescents and teens. As a result of the growing prevalence in digital engagement, a by-product has been cyberbullying. The psychological effects of cyberbullying are unique in that they differ from traditional bullying due to the anonymity and permanence. Additionally, with the growing popularity of AI companions a second podcast will address this topic. Both podcasts will address the psychological effects and provide tools for providers to use to screen for subtle signs as well as resources. Objectives Define what constitutes an AI companion and differentiate from interactive AI-enabled toys.

Turning Insight into Tangible, Real-World Change  Alignment Accelerator (part 2) Inside Jaime's private coaching session   What does real transformation look like? Just two weeks after her first call with Blake, Jaime was maintaining her energy, honoring her personal routines, and creating more balance than ever before- during her busiest season at work. The clarity she gained around her work relationships also deepened her understanding of what she truly wants in her personal life—and how to ask for it without compromise.   This is what alignment looks like in motion. Real, sustainable change that helps you work smarter, strengthen relationships, and show up with more energy for what matters most, at work and beyond. She was also facing another challenge that so many high-achievers can relate to: daily interactions with her boss that left her drained, second-guessing herself, and spinning in frustration. In this episode, you'll hear how we transformed what looked like a personality conflict into more effective leadership communication strategies. Through small shifts in awareness and communication, Jaime learned how to lead "up" more effectively, reduce unnecessary rework, and turn draining meetings into collaborative partnerships. If you've ever wondered about finding clarity and energy for meaningful relationships while succeeding in your career, or what executive coaching actually looks like in practice, this conversation is for you.   Episode Highlights   Small Changes, Big Impact  [03:00] - How two daily breaks transformed Jaime's energy [06:00] - Grouping tasks and protecting focus time   Transforming Draining Relationships  [10:00] - The real reason why your boss might be draining you  [17:00] - Understanding visionaries vs. implementers  [23:00] - The one-page recap that changed everything   Leadership Communication That Works  [29:00] - Being specific vs. staying vague when workload is unrealistic  [37:00] - How to have the conversation that changes the dynamic  [45:00] - Leading with humanity instead of blame   From Career Clarity to Personal Clarity  [52:00] - What do you really want in a partner?  [58:00] - The power of not compromising  [1:05:00] - Trusting what your body tells you: calm vs. chaos   Key Wins & Takeaways  [1:14:00] - Jaime's biggest transformations  [1:16:00] - The underlying pattern of it all   Powerful Quotes "The best leaders I know know how to lead the people around them." — Blake Schofield "Longer hours doesn't mean that I'm being efficient with my time." — Jaime "How we do one thing is how we do everything. The lessons that we get always show up in multiple places." — Blake Schofield "The right person for you will feel calm, peaceful. You will not feel confused or chaotic or any of those things." — Blake Schofield "I truly believe everyone is doing the best that they can. Usually when we're having the biggest issues, it's because somebody is in survival mode or they're just lacking awareness of how what they're doing has impacts on other people." — Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

We uncover how accountability and smart coaching make roads safer, how accessible tech levels the playing field for small operators, and how AI will soon help fleets anticipate problems before they occur.This conversation is full of practical lessons on resilience, responsibility, and what happens when technology meets common sense on the road.
