Beliefs are the invisible architects behind every decision, every pivot, and every result you create. They don't start as plans but as whispers of possibility. I learned this thanks to a simple Saturday visit to Homearama that led to a life-altering decision, and it's something I see repeatedly with my clients, too.In the second episode of our 5th anniversary series on She Thinks Big, you'll discover how beliefs can shape your reality and why upgrading them changes everything. Using tools like my TRUST framework, I'll also show you how to move from belief to action and give you a simple process to change any belief you want.What's Covered in This Episode on Why Belief Is the Blueprint2:15 – How a spontaneous weekend outing planted the seed of a new possibility10:11 – Why “beliefs create results” isn't motivational fluff—it's how your brain is wired11:18 – What happens to old beliefs when you level up and what it takes to upgrade12:25 – The TRUST framework: the five-step process that turns belief into action15:01 – An example of how belief can protect your ego and sabotage progress16:26 – A simple three-step action plan for changing your beliefs17:59 – What Homearama taught me about gratitude and ambition20:32 – A tiny sneak peek into episode three of the seriesMentioned In Why Belief Is the Blueprint for Everything You Build in Your BusinessFive Leaps in Five MinutesActivator IntensiveAscension CollectiveSilent Saboteur AuditShe Thinks Big by Andrea LiebrossBook a Call With AndreaAndrea's LinksAndrea on LinkedIn, Instagram, and FacebookDon't Just Listen—Implement ItUntangle your time, reset your role, and build systems that don't depend on your every move.

In episode 150, we dig into the blueprint for turning red turf blue with movement-builders Jennifer Austin and Sarah Schulz. The duo from the Beyond Resistance Podcast explains the steps, strategies, and first actions that help local organizers build lasting power.Jennifer Austin and Sarah Schulz are the not-yet-famous-but-fiercely-effective duo behind the Beyond Resistance Podcast, where they dish hard-won lessons on flipping red turf blue. Jennifer—a strategic powerhouse who turned the Midland County Dems into a fundraising, vote-winning machine—has the numbers and receipts to prove that organizing can reshape a Republican stronghold. Sarah—an unflinching activist, former State House candidate, and professional GOP nightmare—has led rallies, spooked incumbents, and built a movement in the reddest parts of Michigan. Together, they're building blue power in red communities—and they're just getting started.Jennifer volunteered a few too many times, prompting Democratic voters to ask her to run for chair of the local party. Under her leadership, the MCDP increased their email list by 216%, their membership by 285%, and their fundraising by 400%! They've flipped the city of Midland and kept it blue 3 election cycles in a row and are working on that red, red county.Sarah was a founding leader of the Women of Michigan Action Network, prompting 1500 people to join the Indivisible organization in a red county of 80k. She ran for office 3 times, losing by 2 points but shifting the district 10 points blue, and becoming the top House fundraiser in the state of Michigan at $500k for a previously safe GOP seat.Resources: * Beyond Resistance Blueprint* Beyond Resistance Website* Instagram* TikTok* YouTube* Facebook* X/TwitterConnect with USS:* Substack* Instagram* TikTok* ThreadsThis episode was edited by Kevin Tanner.

Bryan Johnson lays out “Don't Die,” a moral framework that puts existence first and turns longevity into a shared fight against entropy. We pressure-test the hard stuff: selfishness, inequality, stagnation, and the so-called two-species future. Bryan argues these are solvable with smart societal engineering if “don't die” is for everyone. He breaks down Blueprint as a practical on-ramp with evidence-based health, behavior, and social habits. We finish on crypto, from his Braintree days with Coinbase to how web3 could power a broad “don't die” commons. ------

If your workflows act like needy toddlers—constantly breaking, needing approvals, or demanding supervision—you're not alone. Over the last few weeks I've heard the same frustrations on repeat: “I don't trust my workflows unless I'm watching them,” and “I've tweaked things so much I think I broke something.”In this episode, I'm breaking down why so many creatives end up with workflows stuck in the toddler stage… and how to finally build systems that run like grownups.I'm also sharing why this launch of CRM Blueprint includes two powerful bonuses inspired by my Systems in Session clients: a 21-day January Support Sprint and a full workflow + communication audit for everyone on the waitlist who joins now.

In this transformational message, The Blueprint of Wisdom, we dive deep into what Scripture calls “the beginning of wisdom”—the fear of the Lord. Many believers have absorbed distorted worldly definitions of “fear”, but this teaching restores the biblical meaning: a reverent awe, a revelation-based honour, and a heart that refuses to be far from God. You will learn:

Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology with Jeremy Devens
Do you have these signs of longevity in your birth chart? Get your free chart at https://www.QuietmindAstrology.com/freebirthchartLongevity, lifespan, vitality and fate meet right at the crossroads of the eighth house in Vedic astrology — and today I explore what we can and cannot see through the chart. This question comes up a lot: can astrology show how long someone will live? In this episode, I share how Jyotish approaches longevity with humility and wisdom, and why the goal is never prediction out of fear but understanding the deeper forces that shape the way we move through life.Over last weekend Brian Johnson, the founder of Blueprint, streamed an entire mushroom journey “for longevity.” He's trying to reverse aging through data, discipline and extreme experimentation. And while his mission can look a little intense from the outside, there are clear signatures in his Vedic chart — especially his Scorpio Moon and likely Jyeshta nakshatra — that reveal exactly why he's drawn to this kind of work.I walk you through what we know from his birth date (August 22, 1977), even without a birth time, and how his eighth house placements point to transformation, protection, curiosity about death and rebirth, and the desire to push the limits of human potential. This episode is less about Brian himself and more about how you can use these same principles to understand your own relationship with vitality, energy, and the cycles of life.Key ideas from this episode:• “In Vedic astrology, we never use longevity to predict fear. We use it to understand how your life force wants to express itself.”• “The eighth house isn't just death — it's transformation, depth, research and the mysteries that pull us inward.”• “A Scorpio Moon needs intensity and purpose. The mind wants a job, and Brian gives his mind a big one.”• “Jyeshta literally translates to ‘the eldest.' His entire brand is built around trying to become the oldest.”• “You don't need extreme protocols to support longevity. You just need alignment, breath, and awareness of your own nature.”If you want to explore these patterns in your own life, you can get your free Vedic birth chart and training below.

The DeLorean's still parked under the blue lights — and in Episode 2 of Shot of Nostalgia: Season 7 – The SmackDown Six Era, we're stepping into the stretch where SmackDown built its identity. Acefield Retro breaks down Blueprint of Greatness, when Paul Heyman's creative direction started to take form. By late 2002, Raw leaned on promos and spectacle, while SmackDown focused on matches that told stories and defined characters. This episode features a watch-along of Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero (No DQ, 9/26/02) — a match that shows exactly how the SmackDown Six style came to life: physical, precise, and built on timing and trust. Also covered: • Angle vs. Mysterio at SummerSlam 2002 — A showcase of what WWE's new in-ring standard could be. • Angle & Benoit vs. Edge & Rey (8/29 SmackDown) — The match that revealed the SmackDown Six chemistry. • Los Guerreros form as a team — Eddie and Chavo add humor, arrogance, and cohesion to the division. • Tag Team Championship Tournament announcement — The moment Heyman's structure became official. By September, SmackDown wasn't trying to compete with Raw — it had its own rhythm, purpose, and storytelling approach. Presented by The Turnbuckle Tavern, where nostalgia meets conversation. Follow @TurnbuckleTavern and @AcefieldRetro for updates. Support the show on Patreon.com/TheTurnbuckleTavern for early access, bonus episodes, and exclusive content for just $2.99 a month. New episodes air Fridays at 7 PM ET. Grab a seat, pour one up, and revisit the months where SmackDown built the Blueprint of Greatness.

God's Blueprint for Leading at Home Every man dreams of being a good father. But good isn't the goal—godly is. In a culture that constantly shifts its definition of manhood and parenting, many dads are left unsure of what true leadership looks like. Thankfully, Scripture gives us a clear standard. When we look to the Bible on fatherhood, we don't find a list of modern parenting hacks—we find a picture of a father's heart that reflects God Himself. A Father's Role Begins with His Heart When we open the Bible on fatherhood, the first thing we see isn't a checklist—it's character. Godly fatherhood begins with who we are before what we do. The Bible consistently connects a man's heart to his home. Deuteronomy 6:6–7 tells us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children.” Before a father can lead his family, he must first allow God's truth to lead him. That means your kids don't just need your protection—they need your example. They learn faith by watching yours. They learn forgiveness by how you repent. They learn love by how you treat their mother. Your children will follow your […] The post The Bible on Fatherhood appeared first on UNCOMMEN.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast. In this episode, we welcome Deborah Reece, Director and Owner of Price Reece Property Services, into the Property Entrepreneur Hall of Fame. Deborah's Year of "Who Dares Wins" was truly transformational. Just a year ago, she was working long corporate hours, managing a team in a law firm, and craving change. After joining Property Entrepreneur, she took the leap - quitting her job and going all in on her property journey. Since then, she's completely redesigned her life. Deborah hit her health goals for 2025, losing 9kg and moving from the diabetic range to consistently below pre-diabetic levels. In business, Deborah embraced The Long Game, building solid foundations with an Operations Manual, systems, policies, and financial clarity. She scaled her business with the help of her VA, achieving far more together than she ever could alone. A defining moment came at a Property Entrepreneur Supper Club, when a mentor encouraged her to stop outsourcing her dream and back herself fully. On the 22nd October, Deborah officially left her corporate job, and hasn't looked back since. Her journey is proof that when you follow The Blueprint, trust the process, and dare to back yourself, life can change in extraordinary ways. Success and failure are both very predictable. I hope you enjoy. Want to learn more?

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He's helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan's team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

THIS WEEK, we have legendary Eagles fan, Tom Stakes in the studio with Aidan! Tom was boots on the ground in Green Bay for the Eagles Monday Night win over the Packers. We talk about what the experience was like at Lambeau and how that comapred to Lincoln Financial Field. Here's a hint: "Lambeau is by far the best road stadium."As brutal as the game was on offense, the guys talk about just how important it was to see that level of a performance from the defensive line. And, why Jaelan Phillips feels like the missing piece in the early returns.And then it is on to the MAIN EVENT. Lions coming to the Linc on Sunday Night Football. Why this game would be the most exciting of the year...if Aidan weren't dealing with the Ghosts of Eagles 2023 Past. Tom luckily is able to bring us back on the positive side of the tracks with some insight on the defensive personnel. Seriously though, feels like this could be an awesome game and a game the Eagles offense knows what it needs to DO.Do we have to talk about AJ Brown? I guess we have to talk about AJ Brown. Want to wrap this issue up in record time? GET HIM THE BALL! Jalen Hurts and this Eagles offense have earned the trust of the fan base. Now, it is time to flex that and get the playmakers involved. WE'VE HIT 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT! STAY TUNED FOR A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NEXT WEEKS EAGLES AT COWBOYS GAME! #eagles #nfl #football #jalenhurts #lions #amonrastbrown #flyeaglesfly #gobirds #ajbrown

As another tax year comes to a close, many successful business owners are undoubtedly asking themselves the same question: How do I keep more of what I've earned away from Uncle Sam this year? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Bayntree's Director of Corporate Development, Brian Hartstein, to break down year-end strategies to help entrepreneurs and high-income earners make the most of their pre-tax dollars and reduce their biggest expense: Taxes. With over 30 years of experience collaborating with business owners, CPAs, and plan administrators, Brian has seen firsthand how many companies wait until the fourth quarter to address tax planning. He emphasizes the benefits of proactive planning and how it leads to significant savings and long-term wealth creation through strategies such as SEP IRAs, 401(k)s, profit-sharing plans, and cash balance pension plans. We'll also walk you through the Retirement Plan Pyramid, and demonstrate which tools make the most sense for different business stages—from solo entrepreneurs to companies with dozens of employees. Whether looking to shelter high income before year-end or looking for ways to use retirement plans as a competitive advantage to recruit, retain, and reward top talent, this episode will help you identify smart, actionable ways to keep more of what you earn and build your retirement wealth strategically. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why most business owners wait too long to plan—and how to avoid the "fourth-quarter fire drill." The most overlooked pre-tax opportunities that can save tens of thousands in taxes. How to choose between a SEP, SIMPLE, 401(k), or cash balance plan based on your business structure. The power of the Retirement Plan Pyramid and how each layer fits your financial goals. How to use retirement plans as recruitment and retention tools for key employees. Why being proactive—not reactive—with your CPA and advisor can make all the difference.

This week on the Faculty Factory podcast we welcome Vicki Freeman, PhD, MASCP, MLS(ASCP)cm SCcm, FACB, for an exploration for staying professionally active alongside some common challenges to at least be aware of in retirement from full time faculty life. Dr. Freeman is a professor emeritus and former tenured chair in the Utmb Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. She's also the former associate dean for faculty development for the School of Health Professions. She was also a Distinguished Professor and a former Minnie Stephens Piper Professor. She was the director of the renowned UTMB Academy of Master Teachers among her many other contributions and positions held through her illustrious career in academic medicine. Her decision to retire was influenced by family and the challenges posed by COVID-19. She doesn't see retirement as an endpoint but as an opportunity to pivot toward rest and other meaningful activities. It also serves as a nice way to avoid some of the workplace politics she no longer is obligated to navigate. “I'm just not interested in putting up with the politics anymore and when the politics start getting involved, I know it is time to check out,” she told us.

The Mets are officially on the clock in Vegas. Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz have both hit free agency after opting out of their deals, and David Stearns is trying to thread the needle between keeping his stars and reshaping the roster. We break down the latest from the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, what Scott Boras is saying about Alonso, where things stand with Díaz after a dominant 2025, and which free agents Stearns should be targeting as the market opens. We'll talk Alonso's monster walk-year season, Díaz's contract calculus after another elite campaign, the Mets' stated priorities in center field, the rotation and the bullpen, plus which names on this winter's loaded free-agent board actually make sense in Queens.

As we're making big changes in the business, I'm reworking our marketing language and it is bringing up all sorts of feelings for me. I've internally struggled with marketing throughout my career. I want to give people all the nuance behind what I'm offering, but nuance doesn't tend to fit into an attention-grabbing soundbite. And then I get into my head about it, worrying that I'm somehow adding the culture of crap marketing for snake oil even though I have tons of evidence that our methods really do get results for people.Sound familiar? You're not alone. So let's talk about it.Tune into this episode to hear:The challenge I had with Blueprint to 30K Months (and why it works)What I learned about getting people's attention from my stint in real estateWhy I get tied up in knots about creating messaging that nuanced or punchyThe comments from trolls that still live rent-free in my headThe mindset that I'm working to carry forward through these big changesMentioned:Michelle Mazur (@drmichellemazur)Duped PodcastE. 25: What's Possible: Stop Trading Dollars For Hours And Start Scaling Your Business With Confidence And Clarity Featuring Rachael WonRachael Wonderlin (@cant_hustleanyharder)Resources:No BS Clients LabNo BS Agencies MasteryThe Price to Freedom Calculator™No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook GroupStart reading the first chapter of my bookPiasilva.com

Injection Molding PDF Email me: dr.melissaseibert@gmail.com Join Elevated GP: www.theelevatedgp.com Follow @dental_digest_podcast Instagram Follow @dr.melissa_seibert on Instagram In this second installment of Dental Digest's conversation with Dr. Jonathan Esquivel, host Dr. Melissa Seibert and her guest push deeper into the artistry, biology, and discipline required to restore anterior implants that are as functional as they are beautiful. While Part 1 introduced Esquivel's framework of space, volume, and time, this episode focuses on the next frontier—provisionalization, emergence-profile design, and the E-B-C concept that defines the biologic foundations of aesthetic implant therapy. Dr. Esquivel begins by demystifying the provisionalization workflow for anterior implants—whether immediate or delayed. He walks listeners step by step through decision-making factors such as ridge healing, tissue phenotype, and the importance of minimizing the number of disconnections to protect the fragile mucosal seal. He stresses that efficiency in implant dentistry isn't about finishing fast—it's about achieving predictability in the fewest biologically respectful appointments. The discussion then turns to the team-based dynamics between the restorative dentist and the surgeon. Dr. Esquivel details how he coordinates cases digitally, sending STL files and mock-ups for joint planning before the first incision. His six-phase system—Acquisition, Blueprint, Confirmation, Design, Execution, and Follow-up—illustrates how restorative-driven implant dentistry must begin with facial and prosthetic design, not with a drill guide. From there, the episode dives into the chairside artistry of immediate provisionalization. Using a pre-milled shell and temporary cylinder, Dr. Esquivel describes how to "pick up" a provisional and sculpt the subgingival contours in real time. But as he emphasizes, the true challenge lies not in fabrication—but in understanding how material additions and reductions influence soft-tissue behavior. This insight leads to one of the most clinically valuable segments of the episode: Dr. Esquivel's E-B-C concept, an evolution of the classic critical- and subcritical-contour framework. The E-Zone (Esthetic Zone), roughly the first millimeter below the gingival zenith, governs margin stability and the visible pink–white transition. The B-Zone (Biologic or Boundary Zone) supports the mucosal seal and should remain concave to create space for healthy soft tissue. The C-Zone (Crestal Zone), the most apical 1–2 mm, must be slim and biologically quiet to preserve the crestal bone. Dr. Esquivel explains how even subtle over-contouring in these zones can trigger recession or bone loss, while proper shaping promotes long-term harmony between implant and tissue. Using tactile language, he describes his preference for pear-shaped acrylic burs to sculpt the concavity of the B-zone, and how digital workflows now allow clinicians to model these micro-contours virtually before any material is placed. The conversation culminates in a reflection on philosophy as much as technique. Dr. Esquivel urges clinicians to focus on mastering the basics—aesthetic symmetry, biologic respect, and patience—rather than chasing novelty. "An implant is not a tooth," he reminds us. "Our goal is to protect the bone, guide the tissue, and understand what we can't see." Listeners will leave this episode with a detailed understanding of: How to design, print, or fabricate custom provisionals that shape the soft tissue biologically The dimensional logic behind the E-B-C zones and how each governs tissue stability Why limiting abutment disconnections preserves the mucosal seal How digital and analog workflows can be integrated seamlessly And the mindset shift required to see implants not as prosthetic devices, but as biologic restorations Part 2 is both a masterclass in subgingival design and a meditation on restraint. Dr. Esquivel reminds us that excellence in implant aesthetics doesn't come from doing more—it comes from doing less, but with absolute intention.
