Cutting your budget doesn't have to mean cutting joy out of your life. With a bit of creativity and intention, you can save money while still enjoying what truly matters. Here's how to bring more purpose—and even fun—into your spending plan.Before diving into practical steps, begin with prayer. Ask God to help you cultivate contentment, because wise spending starts with a heart that trusts Him. As Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Budgeting isn't just about numbers; it's about aligning your heart with gratitude for what God has already provided.1. Try a “Pantry Challenge” MonthCommit to eating what you already have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry for an entire month. You'll reduce grocery spending and uncover forgotten items—maybe even a few surprises. Free apps like SuperCook or Cooklist can help you find creative recipes using your existing ingredients, turning the challenge into a fun family adventure.2. Create a Family Fun FundEntertainment doesn't have to be expensive. Set a monthly cap for fun activities and get the whole family involved in choosing them. One week could be a hike and picnic at the park; another, a cozy movie night at home with popcorn and dollar-store candy. This approach teaches that joy isn't tied to a price tag.3. Swap Babysitting with Another FamilyChildcare can be costly, but community is a gift. Partner with another family you trust to take turns watching each other's kids. One week, you get a date night, the next they do—and no one spends a dime. You'll save money, build relationships, and create margin in your budget.4. Take On One Service YourselfPick one recurring expense and try handling it yourself for a season—such as washing the car, mowing the lawn, or grooming the dog. You may save more than you expect and even gain a new skill or appreciation for the task.5. Declare a Monthly “No-Spend” WeekendChoose one weekend a month to spend nothing beyond the essentials. Use the time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy free or low-cost activities, such as playing board games, going for a hike, or visiting the library. Turn it into a family challenge by deciding together how to use the extra savings for giving, saving, or a future treat.6. Practice the 30-Day RuleWhen tempted by a big purchase—like a gadget or appliance—write it down with the date and wait 30 days. If you still want it and it fits the budget after a month, you can move forward with confidence. More often than not, the urge will pass, and you'll keep your money where it belongs.None of these ideas is earth-shattering—and that's the beauty of them. Real transformation often comes from small, consistent decisions: choosing contentment over consumption, planning over impulse. Each intentional step strengthens your financial stewardship and, even more importantly, your trust in God.When your kids see you making wise choices, they learn the importance of being a good steward. When your spouse feels included, it builds unity. And when you invite God into your day-to-day financial decisions—even the small ones—you'll see His faithfulness in significant ways.A Tool to Help You Stay on Track: The FaithFi AppIf you're ready to take the next step in intentional budgeting, the FaithFi app is a great place to start.

Zack Polanski has been elected as the new leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. Many believe the result will lead to a further realignment on the left of British politics. Also: long-term borrowing costs rise, putting pressure on Rachel Reeves ahead of the Budget. And politicians criticise the arrest of the Father Ted writer, Graham Linehan, over social media posts about trans rights.

A federal judge in California has ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully used Marines and National Guard troops in Los Angeles. In the order, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said the federal government couldn't use the California National Guard or any military troops deployed in the state to engage in arrests, apprehensions, crowd control, and other activities.Congress is back in session on Tuesday with a lot on the lawmakers' plates. Government funding is set to expire on Sept. 30 under a stopgap spending bill approved by Congress in March. Both chambers will need to pass—and President Donald Trump to sign—a total of 12 funding bills to avert a complete or partial government shutdown. So far, the Senate has passed an initial draft of three of these, while the House has passed just two. Only one, a bill to fund military construction, has passed both chambers.

Today, you are going to hear a deeply candid conversation with Phil Norman, principal of Norman Design Group, to explore the complex, often contradictory realities of luxury residential design. With over 25 years of experience crafting high-end interiors in Southern California, Phil brings both practical wisdom and an unfiltered perspective on the challenges designers face today. And part of exploring these ideas, is a willingness to be open and candid about the challenges as well as the solutions.  Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep LOME-AI.com, simple, inexpensive, text to video harnessing the power of AI to grow your firm, beautifully. Honesty About Budgets: The Ultimate Luxury Phil dives headfirst into one of the most taboo topics in interior design: the budget. He explains why being forthright—even when the numbers are higher than a client expects—is not just necessary, but an act of professional integrity. He shares strategies for diffusing tension around cost conversations and how client trust is forged in transparency, not fantasy. “People can handle a bigger number. They can't handle being blindsided,” Phil says. “The danger is in pretending it can be done for less.” Educating the Client: Battling Pinterest, Misinformation & HGTV Phil reflects on the modern design client's double-edged sword: unprecedented access to ideas... and a flood of misinformation. Whether it's misconceptions about pricing, timelines, or what's even possible, Phil sees part of his job as "un-educating" clients before re-grounding them in real-world processes. He describes the delicate balance of respecting a client's inspiration while also anchoring expectations in logistical and structural realities. “Everyone's seen a Pinterest kitchen,” he says, “but that doesn't mean it works in their space, or within their scope.” Home as Sanctuary: A Pandemic Shift Phil shares how the pandemic permanently shifted his clients' priorities—from “how it looks” to “how it feels.” There's now an increased desire for tactile comfort, flexibility, and timeless quality. The home is no longer just a showpiece—it's a retreat, a workplace, a classroom, a safe space. He emphasizes the growing importance of durability and livability over trends, noting that luxury now means emotional connection, not just expensive finishes. “Design has to feel like home—not just like a magazine spread.” Kitchen as Mission Control: Designing with Precision Phil also explores how kitchens have evolved into the emotional and operational hubs of the home. With every family interaction, from weekday breakfasts to weekend entertaining, passing through this space, it's no longer just about cabinetry and counters—it's about lifestyle programming. He discusses layout strategies, appliance coordination, lighting zones, and how technology and wellness are being layered into the modern kitchen environment. Design Leadership: Advocacy, Not Subservience Phil argues that successful design professionals must step into the role of advisor and advocate—not order-taker. He calls out the danger of defaulting to client appeasement and encourages designers to protect the integrity of the design process, even if it means challenging a client's assumptions. “We're not there to just say yes. We're there to guide—to lead with experience.” This conversation isn't just about design—it's about leadership, trust, and emotional intelligence in a high-stakes creative business. Whether you're a seasoned designer, a rising star in the field, or simply someone dreaming of building a home that feels like home, Phil Norman offers a masterclass in how to do it right—with candor, clarity, and craft. Thank you, Phil. Amazing.

This week we are joined by Mirat Dave and Danish Butt of Swiftwater & Co. as they step into the studio to make a simple claim, investigations and legal operations should serve the business, not slow the business. Mirat traces a path across law, technology, and global risk, then explains why a team blending strategy with implementation drew him to Swiftwater. Danish shares a wry origin story from early e-discovery days and outlines Swiftwater's north star, the seven C's, connecting, caring, collaboration, creating, curiosity, courage, and confidence. The tone stays pragmatic, no hype, and a few laughs land along the way.Global scope often triggers the “Germany is different” objection. Mirat acknowledges regional nuances, then reframes the discussion, most of the process is common across borders. The move that matters is standardization plus smart technology, including AI, to shift from linear headcount answers to scalable capacity. The payoff is speed, consistency, and lower risk. The team urges leaders to act like business owners, align processes to growth, margin, assets, and purpose, and resist the reflex to hire without redesigning the work.Budget hurdles come next. Leaders struggle to win funds for process change or platforms, while headcount requests sail through. The fix is storytelling backed by math, present a structured plan, expected savings, and a clear ROI in the language a CFO or GC uses daily. Danish widens the lens on metrics, many teams still track counts and cycle times, while value measures like revenue protected or reputation preserved sit at the bottom of the list. The guidance is to flip that order, tie decisions to value, and approach AI as a set of pointed use cases with measurable outcomes, not a monolith.Legal ops gets a moment in the spotlight as the quiet power. Danish reminds listeners that service functions exist to help the organization win, recognition matters, yet trust erodes when tools take center stage over results. Mirat presses the enablement mindset with a memorable image, legal, risk, and investigations are the pit crew, the business is the driver. Faster pits win races. He shares examples, a government contractor lifted renewal success by turning compliance visibility into proactive reminders and playbooks. In investigations, trend analysis by region, level, and timing surfaces fixes that reduce incoming allegations, lighten workloads, and raise quality.The crystal ball stays practical. Danish advises teams to treat AI as a working style backed by a two-year plan, prepare data, pick targets, and avoid both freeze and frenzy. Mirat expects investigation platforms to evolve from reporting systems into work systems, triage, plan creation, interview guidance, and repeatable playbooks that lift speed and consistency.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript:

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech', the podcast where we explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the legal world. In today's episode, we delve into how AI is rapidly reshaping legal practices, from enhancing operational efficiency and boosting profitability to redefining client acquisition and document management. We'll discuss the significant surge in AI adoption across the legal profession, with a majority of lawyers now embracing tools like generative AI to increase billable work and achieve a better work-life balance. This era is seeing the rise of "hybrid lawyers" who leverage AI to move beyond repetitive tasks, focusing instead on critical thinking and strategic legal analysis. While innovations like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) promise seamless interoperability between legal tech systems, we'll also address the crucial concerns around data accuracy, security, and the evolving role of human expertise in an increasingly AI-driven legal landscape. Join us as we examine how law firms are making strategic investments in AI to gain a decisive competitive edge and prepare for a future where technology is central to legal success.AI use gaining ground rapidly across legal profession2025-09-01 | Legal FuturesAI takeover: 50% of remote jobs to be replaced within 3 years as machines outperform humans in fairness and accuracy2025-09-01 | NaturalNews.comLaw firm staff awarded 5% bonus as it chalks up 9.2% rise in annual turnover2025-09-01 | TheBusinessDesk.comTrailblazing tech law firm opens first international office in London One of Europe's most active tech law firms has opened its first international office in London's...2025-09-01 | BusinessCloud.co.ukAI, innovation and life as a ‘hybrid lawyer'2025-09-01 | Legal CheekWhat Is MCP and Why You Need It2025-09-01 | Artificial LawyerNetDocuments Expands ndMAX Studio with Three New AI-Powered Apps for Litigation and Startup Financing2025-09-01 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyInnovations in Legal Drafting: Modern Techniques for 20252025-09-01 | Legaltech on MediumProlog: The Forgotten Language That Powers Legal Tech and AI2025-09-01 | Legaltech on MediumAddressing the Fragmentation in Legal Client Acquisition: The Role of AI Agents and the Case of MagNet2025-09-01 | Legal Tech BlogArtificial Intelligence (AI): powering law firm profitability2025-09-01 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyLawyer: Firefighter arrested by Border Patrol while fighting wildfire had been waiting 7 years for legal status2025-08-30 | 12News.comHow a Single Hashtag Led to a Zero Inheritance Payout2025-08-30 | Budget and the BeesInvestigation Launched on Data Breach Affecting TransUnion Clients2025-08-29 | InvestorsHangout.comLowenstein COO Michael R.

Hey Friends it's Carla! Welcome back to another episode of So What Now?  Let's get right into this week's wild ride! So Bella Thorne hopped on IG sharing that she proposed to her fiancé… after he already did it first. I'm sorry, what?? Nah. Ya'll know I have thoughts (spoiler: I am not out here getting on one knee, let's be so serious). And of course, Dex went off on one of her classic rants. This time about how some things are strictly “for men.” Like proposing. Like budgeting. Like… anything that feels like work. According to her, we deserve to live soft, fun, budget-free lives and honestly? She might be onto something. Then we slid into the listener letters, and babyyyy  it got spicy. We heard from a teacher who's also on OF. She's tryna decide if she should quit her 9-to-5 and go full-time as a spicy girl. You know we had to weigh in. But somehow that convo took a sharp left turn into us telling our embarrassing secrets  and yes, both of ours happened on cruise ships. Don't ask, just press play. Grab your drink, your headphones, and your nosiest friend — this one's a wild ride!   CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

If you've ever hit a wall at 2:47 PM and wondered, “Why can't I think straight?” This episode is for you. Spoiler alert: It's not a willpower problem. It's biology. In this episode, Dr. Bray breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in workplace performance: your brain has a limited energy budget. From decision fatigue to task switching to why your focus crashes mid-afternoon, you'll discover the hidden forces behind mental burnout and how to fight back. We'll explore: Why your brain burns through more energy than any other organ How your “mental bank account” gets drained without you even noticing The real cost of multitasking (hint: it's not just lost time) What top performers, neuroscience researchers, and companies like Google are doing to protect brain power Simple ways to refuel your focus using strategic breaks, movement, and even social interaction You'll also learn how to spot the moments when you're cognitively bankrupt and what to do to recharge fast. Bonus: Dr. Bray shares a simple method to track your “brain budget” for one day so you can identify your personal energy leaks and high-focus windows. You'll walk away with actionable tools you can start using today to work smarter, feel better, and lead with more clarity.

Listen now and get ready to stop blaming yourself and start working with your biology. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The brain doesn't store fuel. Once the tank is low, the first thing to go is your ability to think clearly and resist distractions." "Don't use your brain's best hours on low-leverage tasks." "Performance problems may not be due to poor skills, but poor fuel. Invest in good nutrition and rest."

What if your work isn't just a job—but part of God's bigger story for your life?For some, work is a source of stress, struggle, or simply something to endure. But what if we're seeing it all wrong? What if God designed work to be a vital part of how we worship Him and serve others? Dr. Tom Nelson joins us today to talk about that. Dr. Tom Nelson is the President of Made to Flourish and has served as the Senior Pastor of Christ Community Church, a multi-site congregation across Kansas City, for over 30 years. He is also the author of Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World.False Narratives About WorkCulture tells us many things about work—most of them untrue.“Thank God it's Friday” reflects the belief that work is a curse and that our real lives happen only on weekends.Work as mere productivity reduces our calling to a paycheck or to-do list.Sacred vs. secular divide suggests ministry work matters more than other vocations.However, if we return to Genesis 1 and 2, we find that work is not a curse. Work is God's good design. Whether paid or unpaid, our work is part of how we glorify Him.The Four-Chapter Story of WorkDr. Tom Nelson uses a “four-chapter” framework to show how the Bible shapes a proper view of work:Creation – What Ought to Be. God designed work as a gift and a reflection of His image. Work and worship were never meant to be separate.The Fall – What Is. Sin corrupted work, introducing toil, frustration, and broken relationships.Redemption – What Can Be. Through Christ, our work can be redeemed. Whether changing diapers, leading a company, or volunteering, we bring God's presence into every environment.New Creation – What Will Be. One day, we will experience work in its perfect form—creative, joyful, and without sin—in God's restored Kingdom.One of the most transformative ideas to remember is that all work done for God's glory is sacred. Work is contribution, not just compensation. We carry God's presence with us into our workplaces because the Holy Spirit dwells within us.This perspective breaks down the artificial barrier between “spiritual” and “secular” work. It gives believers a seamless life of worship—Sunday through Monday.Hope for the FutureWe won't spend eternity sitting on clouds. Revelation offers us a glimpse of a garden city where we will worship Jesus and engage in creative, joyful work—free from sin, frustration, and the need for perfect relationships with God and others.If you've believed that your work doesn't matter, be encouraged that you were created with work in mind. God is with you in your work. When you embrace Jesus and become His apprentice, you'll learn to live a seamless life where every task, big or small, can glorify Him.Dr. Tom Nelson's latest book, Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World, is available wherever books are sold.

Labour have marked the return to school with a mini-reshuffle in Downing Street, elevating a handful of ‘star pupils' into key Government roles. Among them is Treasury minister Darren Jones, now promoted to Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister – a new position with a seat at the Cabinet table.But the shake-up risks undermining Chancellor Rachel Reeves, already braced for a bruising autumn Budget and the likelihood of major tax rises. Tim and Camilla discuss the political manoeuvring inside No 10.And as Reform UK ramp up their attacks on local government pension “waste,” Camilla speaks to Zia Yusuf, head of the party's DOGE unit, about what they've uncovered and whether whispers of an early general election are true.We want to hear from you!

From New York steakhouse soirées to Coachella Valley showstoppers, event planner Lola Kent brings a decade-plus of creative fire to the corner booth on this week's episode of Big Conversations, Little Bar with Patrick Evans and Randy Florence. She shares how a chance ceremony paired her with officiant Randy, sparking 60+ weddings built on listening, storytelling, and short-but-soulful vows. Lola recalls transforming airplane hangars at the Palm Springs Air Museum into “Norm's Beach,” complete with surprise aircraft arrivals and star musicians, and a tear-jerking Bighorn ceremony where love triumphed over stage-four cancer. We get real about budgets vs. vision, indoor-outdoor contingency planning, micro-weddings born from the pandemic, and why great planners protect couples from venue rules, vendor chaos, and desert winds. Plus: the NYPD vs. FDNY cookoff, a Wicked-themed pop-up speakeasy, and the secret to guest-first hospitality (sometimes it's Gentleman Jack). If you love weddings, parties, or just world-class logistics that feel like magic, this podcast is your blueprint.We regret that due to technical issues in the recording of this episode that there is not a video podcast available.Takeaways:The best ceremonies start with deep listening and private interviews.Short, meaningful vows keep guests engaged and couples centered.Great planners match clients to venues that fit rules and vibe.Always build indoor-outdoor weather backups in the desert.Clear vendor coordination is mission-critical to event flow.Budgets must guide creative choices—vision scales with resources.Micro-weddings proved intimacy can be as powerful as spectacle.Story-driven details turn spaces (even hangars) into immersive worlds.#BigConversationsLittleBarPodcast #PatrickEvans #RandyFlorence #SkipsLittleBar #MutualBroadcastingSystem #CoachellaValleyResidents #SkipPaige #LolaKent #EventPlanning #WeddingPlanner #DesertWeddings #PalmSprings #CoachellaValley #AirMuseum #VowRenewal #MicroWeddings #LuxuryEvents #WeddingOfficiant #Bighorn #PopUpSpeakeasy

Vers 08h du matin au niveau d'Ensisheim, une voiture est tombée de l'autoroute avant de faire un tonneau et de traverser les deux glissières bordant la route de Munchhouse. A son bord, circulait une famille bas-rhinoise qui rentrait de vacances. Le couple et leur trois filles, légèrement blessés, ont été transportés à l'hôpital. La mère de famille a quant à elle du être désincarcérée par les secours et a été évacuée en urgence absolue, souffrant à une jambe.

The giant tax-cuts-and-spending package passed by Congressional Republicans will have major ramifications for every state in the country, but Colorado is one of the first place it's really being felt. Thanks to the state's unusual way of handling its finances, the federal tax cuts immediately threw Colorado's finances way out of whack.That was the main reason lawmakers recently came back to the Capitol in August for a high temperature, high stakes special session. But grueling fights over AI regulations and a painful public confrontation between House leaders at times made the budget debates feel like a secondary concern.CPR's Bente Birkeland, The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul and KUNC's Lucas Brady Woods discuss the bills that did, and did not, make it past the finish line over the six-day special legislative session. They also dig into the growing chasm between the two caucuses in the House, and what it could mean for  the regular session in the new year. Read CCNA special session coverage: From CPR News: Colorado House condemns former GOP lawmaker for unprofessional behavior From The Colorado Sun: What the Colorado legislature did during its special session to tackle a $750M budget hole From KUNC News: Colorado Democrats move to protect SNAP benefits and Planned Parenthood care From The Colorado Sun: Colorado lawmakers abandon special session effort to tweak AI law, will push back start date to June 2026 From CPR News: Are legislative special sessions even special any more?

“One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.” —Proverbs 11:24Scripture calls us to be both wise savers and generous givers—but holding those two together can feel like a tension. How do we avoid fear on one side and foolishness on the other? Dr. Shane Enete joins us today to show how these two principles actually go hand in hand.Dr. Shane Enete is an Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University and founded the Biola Center for Financial Planning. He is also the author of the book Whole Heart Finances: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Managing Your Money with Joy.Living in the TensionJohn Wesley famously wrote, “Earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can.” It sounds simple enough, but when you sit down with a budget, the statement can feel more like a paradox than a plan. After all, how can you both save as much as you can and give as much as you can? At some point, choices must be made.Rather than resolving the paradox with rigid rules, we encourage believers to embrace the complexity as part of the Christian life.In the absence of clarity, many of us make rules. One common example is the “80/10/10 rule”—give 10%, save 10%, and live on the remaining 80%. While this framework may be helpful, we must also be cautious that this can risk reducing Christian stewardship to legalism.The Christian life is a paradox. Christ Himself is a paradox—fully God and fully man. When we encounter a paradox, we shouldn't flatten it into a rule. Instead, we're invited into a relationship with God and to walk with Him in the tension.Stewardship as ArtSo how do we approach the paradox of saving and giving without rigid formulas? We should think of stewardship more as an art rather than a science. Just as Jesus used metaphors—such as sheep, seeds, trees, and vines—to describe the mysteries of the Kingdom, we too can use metaphors to navigate the complexity of money.Art allows us to co-create with God, and it moves us from rule-keeping to relationship, from legalism to a life that draws us closer to Him and to one another.One compelling metaphor is water. Water is life-giving when it flows, but when it stagnates, it becomes toxic. In the same way, money is meant to flow—received from God and passed on to bless others.Of course, saving is still essential—as it's like a reservoir that ensures water can flow steadily—but the point is not the reservoir itself. It's the flow that revitalizes both the giver and those who receive.The call to “save all you can, give all you can” is not a puzzle to be solved but a paradox to be lived. By resisting the urge to reduce it to rigid formulas and instead embracing stewardship as a creative act with God, we discover a more life-giving way to approach money. The flow is what matters. That's what brings life.You can read Dr. Enete's full article—and gain access to other exclusive resources—by becoming a FaithFi Partner.

This election race was originally scheduled for April next year but brought forward after a split in the ruling FAST party.
