What changes when you stop waiting to feel motivated and start showing up with discipline, purpose, and presence? In this episode, Joshua Stamper is joined by speaker, coach, entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and leadership strategist Ronnel Blackman. Ronnel shares the P.R.E.S.E.N.C.E. framework, a practical approach to helping leaders show up more intentionally in their professional and personal lives. Ronnel explains why discipline is more reliable than motivation, especially when leaders are tired, stressed, distracted, or managing competing responsibilities. He also shares why effective communication begins with listening, emotional awareness, clarity, and a willingness to receive feedback that helps us grow. This conversation explores how leaders can build stronger systems, keep promises to themselves, create meaningful relationships, and lead in a way that makes others feel seen, heard, and energized. Ronnel also breaks down the eight elements of P.R.E.S.E.N.C.E., including physical discipline, resilience, effective communication, self-image, energy, environment, community, execution, and elevated purpose. About Ronnel Blackmon Ronnel Blackmon is a keynote speaker, professional emcee, entrepreneur, marathoner, husband, and father who helps leaders understand a powerful truth: before people experience your leadership, they experience your presence. Through his P.R.E.S.E.N.C.E. Framework, Ronnel helps educators and leaders strengthen three essential disciplines—physical discipline, resilience, and effective communication—so they can better lead themselves, connect with others, and create meaningful impact. His philosophy is simple: Discipline Over Motivation. Because motivation may get you started, but discipline determines who you become.

Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/holla-b-l-a-c-k/id1606968592 — #1 New Release, "The Language of Behavior" is NOW Available!  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DVT32KQ1?&linkCode=ll1&tag=aspirewebsite-20&linkId=d18e5a44a6582a22d15ee23193af7bb8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl The Language of Behavior is an essential guide for school leaders committed to transforming their school culture and addressing student behavior through a more compassionate, effective approach. Drawing on their extensive experience in education, Charle Peck and Joshua Stamper challenge outdated disciplinary practices and offer a clear, trauma-informed framework that empowers educators to interpret student behavior as a form of communication. Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate. Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy. This book is not just a reference—it's a call to lead with vision and transform how we approach discipline, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.

What happens when you've reached what feels like the absolute bottom—and then, in the middle of the chaos, you suddenly hear four words that change your life?You are worth it.In this powerful episode of Byte Sized Blessings the podcast,  Bryan Blackmon shares an extraordinary story of addiction, homelessness, despair, recovery, synchronicity, and the unexpected kindness of a stranger who may have appeared in his life at exactly the right moment.What Does a Miracle Feel Like?Bryan's story raises a fascinating question: What does a miracle actually look like?Sometimes miracles aren't dramatic supernatural events. Sometimes they're a moment of profound clarity. Sometimes they're a voice—or an intuition—that arrives when we most desperately need to hear it.For Bryan, the miracle was the sudden experience of pure silence after years of mental and emotional chaos. In that silence came a message that challenged everything he had been telling himself about his own worth.Was Elaine an Angel in Bryan's Life?If Bryan's experience of hearing “you are worth it” was one miracle, the appearance of Elaine was another.While Bryan was homeless and sleeping in his car, he was desperately searching for a room to rent. He eventually found a rental sign in Elaine's yard.Elaine was 85 years old.Bryan was 45.At first, it looked like the rental wasn't going to happen. Someone else had apparently been given first opportunity to take the room. Listen now to find out how Bryan finally found his home!Are Coincidences Meaningful?Bryan doesn't believe his meeting with Elaine was simply a coincidence.Looking back, he sees the circumstances that brought them together as something much more meaningful.Bryan needed a home, companionship, and someone who would give him a chance.Elaine was living alone after the death of her husband and needed companionship and help around her house.They found each other at a moment when both needed something the other could provide.Bryan describes Elaine as an angel in his life—and says she believes that God also played a role in bringing them together.Can One Moment Change Your Life?Bryan believes it can.The moment of silence in front of the bathroom mirror became a turning point. The words “you are worth it” helped him begin seeing himself differently and listening to his intuition.His encounter with Elaine gave those words a physical manifestation.Someone else looked at Bryan during one of the lowest periods of his life and essentially said:You belong here. Come home.Listen to the Episode!Listen to Bryan Blackmon's extraordinary story of addiction, homelessness, recovery, synchronicity, intuition, unexpected kindness, and the angel who helped him find his way home.And as Bryan's story reminds us: don't give up. Keep walking forward.Episode Takeaway! (and don't forget this part!)Bryan's story is a reminder that your worst moment does not determine the rest of your life.Sometimes the miracle arrives as silence.Sometimes it arrives as four words.Sometimes it arrives as an 85-year-old woman standing outside her house in a robe saying:“Welcome home.”And sometimes the most miraculous thing we can do is simply refuse to give up.And with that, I drop the mic and walk away. A true story of resilience, grace and wonder this time, and at it's heart is something we each want, a place to call HOME!To hear other episodes of grace and wonder, check out the episodes below and dive on into how enchanting this world really is!Judith Jenya tells a story of never giving up-and making sure that she was able to create and bring to life a safe place for war-ravaged children to come together and heal!

The latest episode of FWRD tackles a topic every dealership needs to take seriously right now: FTC compliance. Hosts Corey Smith and Erick Jauregui are joined by Erica Blackman, EasyCare's compliance training expert, and Shannon Robertson, VP of AFIP, the Association of Finance and Insurance Professionals. The conversation starts with the FTC's recent warning letters sent to 97 dealerships representing more than 1,000 rooftops, and what that signal means for the industry. The core message is clear: online pricing must match what customers see and hear in the store, employees posting on personal social media as dealership staff are subject to the same advertising rules, and no store is too small to end up on the FTC's radar.The guests push back hard on the idea that compliance lives only in the F&I office. From service and parts to the technician on the shop floor, every department carries risk, and every employee's actions can expose the dealership. Shannon's framework is straightforward: build a written code of conduct, define your processes, and train everyone on them consistently. Erica adds that dealerships need to inspect what customers actually experience, not just what managers think is happening. The episode closes with a point that hits close to home for any store leader: customer confusion is not a sales strategy, and the dealerships that figure that out before an audit are the ones that stay off the radar.

Or is it something Jesus actually invites us to practice?In this conversation, John Ortberg sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Rick Blackmon to explore Dallas Willard's vision of soul care from The Renovation of the Heart.

Paul and Barnabas were as close as it gets: ministry partners, spiritual brothers, proven friends. Then they disagreed so sharp that Scripture says they parted ways for good. So what do you do when two people who love God can't agree?In this episode, Alan Blackmon Sr., Director of Discipleship at Purpose City Church, continues our Unstoppable series with a message from Acts 15:36 through 16:5 called "Unity Is Not Uniformity." Alan unpacks the real, human conflict between two founding leaders of the early church and pulls out a truth we all need: disagreement doesn't have to mean division, and a friendship can survive even when a partnership can't.You'll learn why conflict actually reveals the true nature of a relationship, what a "conflict of interest" has to do with Barnabas advocating for his cousin John Mark, and why the church doesn't need everybody to think, lead, or do things the same way to stay unified. Alan also shares personal stories from his marriage, his job, and yes, an ongoing Chicago pizza debate, to show what it looks like to disagree without demonizing.If you've ever walked away from a relationship because of one hard conversation, this episode will challenge you to reconsider what unity was always meant to look like.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of World Cup, Canadian national team, and Vancouver Whitecaps chat and interviews. Canada continue to make history at this year's World Cup. Their 1-0 victory over South Africa saw them secure a first ever knockout round win and now they face Morocco in the Round of 16. We look back at that famous win in L.A. and what awaits in Houston, plus we talk to former Canadian national team goalkeeper, and current Houston Dynamo General Manager, Pat Onstad about Canada's World Cup so far, the growth of the game here, and more. With two Vancouver Whitecaps still left in the tournament, we chat some more with Sebastian Berhalter about his experiences with the U.S. and the impact the team and the tournament might have for his country. Plus we also get some World Cup thoughts from his Whitecaps teammates Brian White and Tristan Blackmon, while Ryan Gauld talks to us about finally being "pain free" and raring to get back onto the pitch. The group games are over and we bring you some audio from the New Zealand camp as they say goodbye to Vancouver and the tournament, having failed to secure that historic first ever World Cup victory they craved. We hear from head coach Darren Bazeley and veteran forward Chris Wood about how the tournament went and what now for both them and the program. Could we see New Zealand in the Gold Cup? Could we see Wood in MLS and at the Whitecaps? We also chat with All Whites forward Jesse Randall about his tournament, winning the A League with Auckland, and the new adventure that now awaits him in Scotland with Dundee United. Plus Portland Timbers Finn Surman talks about his experiences and now heading back to MLS, for now at least. All of this plus music-wise, our C86 songs are backs with tracks from BMX Bandits, Jesse Garon and the Desperados, and Talulah Gosh, while we have a hardcore techno World Cup song in Wavelength from Tiscore.

What does it take to truly engage a middle schooler, build a classroom where every student feels like they belong, and sustain yourself as a leader for the long haul? In this second bonus episode recorded live at the NCMLE Moving the Middle Forward Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, Joshua Stamper brings you three more energizing conversations straight from the conference floor, sponsored by New Horizons Global. First, Joshua sits down with educator, speaker, and author Katie Powell to talk about her two books, Boredom Busters and Frustration Busters, and the powerful message from her conference sessions on why lack of motivation is not a behavior problem. Katie unpacks the psychology behind task avoidance and work resistance, shares why empowering students with agency and classroom jobs can transform the culture of a room, and explains how teachers can build engagement strategies that honor both student needs and their own frustration in the process. Next, Joshua connects with the high energy Ronell Blackman, speaker, MC, and community builder, who talks about his work on the power of presence, why showing up fully wherever you are is the foundation for growth, consistency, and confidence, and how small steps forward change everything in education and in life. Rounding out the episode is a returning Aspire to Lead guest, Illinois school leader, author, and speaker Charles Williams, who shares his framework for sustainable leadership built around clarity, capacity, and care, and his evolving work on belonging and what it actually means to create the conditions for every student and staff member to feel genuinely included. All three guests are returning to NCMLE because of one reason: community. And this episode captures exactly why.

College football analyst Josh Pate joins Florida basketball insider Neil Blackmon for a full breakdown of the current state of Florida athletics. We dive deep into the outlook for Florida Gators football, the challenges and opportunities facing the program in the modern SEC, and what it will take for the Gators to return to national contention.We also take a look at Florida Gators men's basketball and the momentum surrounding Todd Golden's program, discussing recruiting, roster building, and how Florida basketball is positioning itself in the SEC.Topics include:

Sen. Bradford Blackmon discusses the wild frontier of artificial intelligence, and the potential harm deepfakes can cause if left unchecked. He offered two bills this session that, while unsuccessful, prompted much discussion in the Legislature. One would have protected Mississippians' right to their name, image and likeness, another would have required AI-generated political ads to disclose the technology's use.

A cardboard‑covered car on PCH. An eight‑man tent on the library lawn. A blue and yellow Lamborghini in a grocery lot. Brian's journey threads through these unlikely scenes on its way to something hard‑won and beautiful: 780 days sober, a home, and a community built on service, humor, and relentless hope.We open with the early hits—beer at 13, heroin before graduation, the long carousel of rehabs and cells. California was supposed to be the dream; Venice Beach made the spiral faster. Brian refused to “decorate the tent,” knowing comfort could become a trap. Then Huntington Beach cracked the story open: a red‑haired landlord who felt like family, a mirror that finally got the truth—“I'm tired”—and a stranger who called his supercar a “gift of sobriety” and pointed him to a 7 a.m. meeting. What followed was raw and real: a brutal 30‑day detox behind a bedroom door, employers who said “we've got you,” and a daily gratitude ritual that rebuilt a life one morning at a time.The twist you won't see coming is joyful. A porch moment—Elaine, a hose, and two sandy surfers—went viral and introduced millions to their odd‑couple magic. Brian started live streaming from the Huntington Beach pier, telling the truth about recovery, feeding neighbors, and letting people name the crabs that danced across his screen. The Crab Crew was born: resilient, adaptive, sideways‑moving when forward is blocked. We talk about faith as a steady nudge, the danger of living in fear of the next shoe, and why simple acts—a bottle of water, a held door—create ripples you'll never fully trace.Come for the wild ride from tent to TikTok; stay for the tools that last—community support, accountability, service, and daily gratitude. If you need proof that your worst chapter can seed your best work, this is it. Listen, share with someone who needs it, and if the message lands, tap follow and leave a review so more people hear they're worth it.Thanks for taking the time to listen in.

Legal Ease is built to help people handle what he calls non complex legal matters without going through the full traditional attorney process, especially when the work is largely checklist driven and expensive simply because it requires a lawyer's time to ask questions and process information.“I like getting up every day and working towards building something,” Lawrence Blackmon expresses in Episode 234 of You Are a Lawyer.He describes Legal Ease as consumer facing legal technology powered by artificial intelligence, designed for matters like expungements, no fault divorce, and certain personal injury situations. The platform is meant to guide users through the same questions a lawyer would ask and help them move through the process without paying what he calls exorbitant fees. He even names the AI component of the platform.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and general football chat. It was a another two-game week for the Whitecaps, with two victories in two different competitions and two clean sheets to boot. The 'Caps dispatched a tough test in Costa Rican side Cartagines on Wednesday night in Champions Cup action to set up a Cascadian clash with Seattle in the next round. They followed that up with a Canadian derby win against Toronto on Saturday. We pick over the bones of both matches and the main talking points coming out of them. Plus we round up this week's action around MLS West and look at how the battle to be the Canadian number one goalkeeper is playing out down in Florida between Max Crepeau and Dayne St Clair after their derby. It was a good week in Whitecapsland all round, with two key pieces signing contract extensions and some new corporate deals announced. We chat with one of those key pieces, MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon, about last year's heroics, his very eventful and headline-making offseason, his new deal, what the club and city mean to him, and the season to come. We also chat with a player starting out his Whitecaps journey, homegrown defender Mihail Gherasimencov, about joining the first team, his time in the CPL with Cavalry, playing internationally for Moldova, and his footballing journey so far.

Politico similarly reported that the U.S. energy grid “leaned heavily on coal and natural gas generation to satisfy the energy appetite from Winter Storm Fern.” https://twitter.com/mayes_middleton/status/2015822288663228536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2015822288663228536%7Ctwgr%5Eccb14922c034250da614ea4ff40e89ae08ce9117%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Freport-texas-wind-solar-failed-weeks-winter-storm%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com China is on a ‘strong currency' mission to make the yuan a global reserve: Xi Xi Jinping says the goal of becoming an international powerhouse is a long-term one and will rest on core foundations China needs to build a “strong currency” that can become widely used in international trade, investment and foreign exchange markets, and reach the status of a global reserve. Source:.scmp.com Trump Launches $12 Billion Strategic Mineral Stockpile To Counter China; Rare Earth Stocks Jump The Trump administration is preparing to launch a major initiative aimed at protecting US manufacturers from disruptions in the supply of critical minerals, committing about $12 billion in initial funding to build a strategic stockpile of essential materials, according to Bloomberg. The project, known as Project Vault, is designed to reduce America's dependence on China for rare earths and other strategically important metals. By creating a centralized reserve for civilian industries, officials hope to cushion companies against sudden shortages and sharp price swings that can disrupt production and strain finances. Shares of MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals and other rare earth associated names are higher between 5% and 10% heading into the cash open on Monday on the news. At this point it’s safe to say last week’s Reuters rare earth hit piece (authored most likely at the behest of a disgruntled short), which sent the sector tumbling on disputed claims the Trump administration was seeking to distance itself from the rare earth space by moving away from a price floor on critical metals and suggesting MP’s deal with the government may be in question, has been thoroughly debunked. Even the MP Materials X account was mocking the grotesque misreporting: https://twitter.com/MPMaterials/status/2016734732835573833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Project Vault will be financed through a mix of private and public funding: $1.67 billion is expected to come from private investors, while the US Export-Import Bank is set to provide a $10 billion loan with a 15-year term. The bank's board is scheduled to vote on the deal, which would be the largest in its history. More than a dozen major companies have joined Project Vault, including General Motors, Stellantis, Boeing, Corning, GE Vernova, and Google. Three large trading firms – Hartree Partners, Traxys North America, and Mercuria Energy – will handle sourcing and purchasing materials for the stockpile.    Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/2018319873609290010?s=20 https://twitter.com/StephenMoore/status/2017295983940354307?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2018300872447418573?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Political/Rights https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/2018249171900227730?s=20 https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2018147684276748388?s=20 https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2018146323581513971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2018146323581513971%7Ctwgr%5Ebf8eb4e3fdfcee731660a65a8ed9f8dad15fa004%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Fnicki-minaj-fires-back-grammys-host-trevor-noah%2F know — yet they continue to attempt bullying.

The former cabinet minister, who was sacked as US ambassador last year because of his past connections to Epstein, appeared in the latest release of files by the US Department of Justice on Friday. Documents suggest Epstein made $75,000 (£55,000) in payments to Lord Mandelson in three separate $25,000 transactions in 2003 and 2004. In his letter to Labour’s general secretary on Sunday, Lord Mandelson said: “I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this.” He added: “Allegations which I believe to be false that he made financial payments to me 20 years ago, and of which I have no record or recollection, need investigating by me.

Image of de-arresting by Minnesota ICE Watch. Minnesota ICE Watch, the organization that Renee Good and her wife were members of, distributed a document known as the “De-Arrest Primer,” which instructs activists on how to physically interfere with law enforcement officers during arrests. The manual provides detailed guidance on pulling detainees from officers' grips, pushing and pulling officers, breaking holds, and opening law enforcement vehicles to free suspects. The manual also teaches the use of coordinated chanting to create confusion and overwhelm officers during active arrests, as well as surrounding officers until they release detainees. The guide openly acknowledges that these actions may constitute criminal offenses but argues that the risk is justified. Each successful interference is described as a “micro-intifada,” framed as a tactic meant to spread, replicate, and inspire wider disruption. The manual claims these methods originated in pro-Palestinian campus protests and presents them as a model for broader resistance activity. While no single formal publisher is identified, the manual appears to originate from broader activist and radical networks that promote direct physical interference with law enforcement. It has circulated widely through Instagram and other activist communication channels and has been used in training individuals described as “constitutional observers” or “ICE watchers.”   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018111147237425556?s=20   https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018114619320017259?s=20   JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Signs “ICE On Notice” Executive Order to Prosecute ICE Agents  Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson at a press conference hosted by Illinois Governor J.B.

The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!   Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before.   Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before.

TRUMP President Trump to SETTLE $10 BILLION IRS LAWSUIT — Plans to DONATE THE PROCEEDS TO CHARITY President Donald J. Trump is preparing to settle his massive $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department, and he says he will donate the entire payout to reputable charities instead of keeping a penny for himself. President Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr., and the Trump Org filed a lawsuit against the IRS for leaking their tax returns. They are seeking $10 billion in damages. In September 2023, federal prosecutors charged a former IRS contractor who worked for the agency from 2018 to 2020 with unlawfully obtaining and disseminating the tax details of a high-ranking public official and numerous affluent Americans to media outlets. According to court documents and an official press release from the Department of Justice, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official, referred to as Public Official A  – now known as Donald Trump. He then disclosed this information to a news organization identified as News Organization 1 – now known as The New York Times. Littlejohn reportedly stole IRS information on thousands of wealthy people. The stolen information was then disseminated to two news outlets (New York Times and ProPublica). “In July and August 2020, Littlejohn separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation's wealthiest individuals. Littlejohn was again able to evade IRS detection. In November 2020, Littlejohn disclosed this tax return information to News Organization 2, which published over 50 articles using the stolen data. Littlejohn then obstructed the forthcoming investigation into his conduct by deleting and destroying evidence of his disclosures,” the DOJ previously said.
