In this episode, Catalina Del Carmen sits down with Anna N'Jie-Konte for a real conversation about money, survival, and building wealth from scratch. Anna shares what it was like growing up with financial instability, how that shaped her relationship with money, and what it actually takes to become a first-generation wealth builder. They talk about risk (the kind nobody prepares you for), lifestyle creep, why “making more money” doesn't automatically fix your money problems, and what it really means to have financial support — emotionally and strategically. This isn't fluffy finance talk. It's honest, practical, and rooted in self-awareness. If you're trying to be the one who changes the money story in your family, this episode will hit.

This is a week of threshold tensions and clarifications as Mars activates the mutable waters of Pisces and the fiery vision of Sagittarius, while Neptune turns direct at the final degree of Pisces, completing a 14-year collective initiation into dissolving old paradigms.Meanwhile, Mercury completes its transformative Scorpio cycle and re-enters Sagittarius—shifting us from excavation to meaning-making. Expect friction, truth-revelations, and a growing sense that something long dissolving is now giving way to new direction.Mon Dec 8: Mars in Sagittarius square Saturn in PiscesMars strides toward new horizons, only to meet Saturn as Elder of Sacred Limits asking: “Is your fire aligned with your deeper responsibilities? Are you acting from vision—or from impulse?” Productive friction clarifies the difference between inspired action and escapist momentum.Wed Dec 10: Neptune turns direct at 29° PiscesThe Dreamer-Mystic pauses at the threshold of a whole era, whispering: “What illusions have fallen away? What soul-truth is emerging from the mist?” A thin-veil moment—intuition strengthens, old confusion clears, and long-dormant inspiration stirs awake.• Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in TaurusThe Storyteller faces the Awakener for the third time since Oct 29, bringing closure to a revelation cycle. This is the final crack in the old narrative: the truth you've been circling now reveals itself plainly. Liberation from a stubborn mindset that has finally run its course.Thurs Dec 11: Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in PiscesThe Intuitive Communicator is blessed by the Mystic Waters of Neptune—insights soften, imagination becomes coherent, inner truth finds language. Clarity through compassion; insight through tenderness.• Mercury re-enters SagittariusSagittarius welcomes the Messenger home: “Now that you've unearthed the depths, what is the meaning you are ready to articulate?” A new storyline begins—one shaped by wisdom, perspective, and possibility.Sun Dec 14: Mars in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesThe Adventurer meets the Mystic Fog of Neptune—action dissolves into mystery, purpose is tested, motives are purified. A humbling pause that reorients you from fantasy to authentic vision.• Sun in Sagittarius trine Chiron in AriesThe Solar Truth-Bringer offers warm recognition to the Wounded Healer (Chiron)—your courage and honesty illuminate a healing path for yourself and others. A moment of self-recognition that strengthens inner authority.• Mars enters Capricorn (through Jan 23) After the wild terrain of Sagittarius, Mars becomes a Builder as it enters Capricorn: “I'm ready to commit. What structure will carry my fire forward?” Direction crystallizes—discipline and purpose now support your momentum.Reflections:Where is friction or confusion revealing the need for clearer alignment?What illusion, assumption, or outdated narrative is dissolving—and what truth is emerging in its place?What meaning or wisdom arises now that I've moved through a deep emotional or psychic layer?What commitment or structure wants to take shape to hold my emerging clarity?Podcast Poem: 5 AM in Pinewoods by Mary OliveSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

Rehabilitating Ivan the Terrible: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts reports that Stalin favored the narrative history of Robert Vipper, who rehabilitated Ivan the Terrible as a state-builder rather than a cruel tyrant; Stalin criticized Eisenstein's film sequel for portraying Ivan as weak, insisting Ivan's terror was a necessary defense of the state, a view justifying Stalin's own purges. 1945

In this episode, we explore the foundational truth of Psalm 127:1 (NKJV): "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." Every marriage, every household, and every family is shaped by someone or something. Scripture teaches that God Himself desires to be both Architect and Builder of the Christian home. When we attempt to construct family life in our own wisdom or strength, the results are fragile, fleeting, and ultimately futile. But when the Lord builds the house, His work produces stability, unity, and spiritual fruit that endures. Join Pastor Jeff as he walks through the implications of Psalm 127, examining: Why every family needs God as its Builder How human effort becomes fruitful only under God's hand The difference between a home built on self-effort and a home built on Scripture How to invite the Lord to shape your marriage, parenting, and household What it means to surrender the "blueprints" of your life to the Master Builder This episode offers biblical encouragement, practical insight, and Christ-centered hope for anyone longing for a home that reflects the grace and presence of God. Many believers want to help others but feel unprepared to counsel biblically. If that's you, you're not alone. We train Christians to counsel with Scripture so they can help hurting people find hope in Christ. At the Biblical Counseling Academy, you'll receive clear and practical training rooted in God's Word—designed for real ministry and real people. In as little as 12 months, with just 5 hours per week, you'll be equipped and certified to counsel with confidence and clarity. If you sense the Lord calling you to grow in this area…

What happens when you're addicted to violence itself? John Graham shipped out on a freighter at 16, made the first ascent of Denali's North Wall at 20 (never repeated), and faced death dozens times—loving every minute. By 28, nothing mattered except his next dangerous adventure. Then came Vietnam. Setting up a firing squad during the 1971 Easter Offensive in Hue, ordering deaths of teenagers, John broke down weeping. Through encounter groups, he discovered the compassionate man beneath his "John Wayne image." At the UN, he used those warrior qualities for good—risking his career to help end apartheid. For 40 years with the Giraffe Heroes Project, he's inspired courage worldwide.

Buying a machine shop is never simple — and for Matt Fortner, it was a leap into the unknown. Coming from backgrounds in plumbing, industrial fittings, product development, and even scrap metal buying, Matt felt a pull to get back to "building something real." That pull led him to Progress Machining in Muskegon, Michigan — a shop he became the fifth person to attempt purchasing. Once inside, Matt quickly realized how much transformation the business needed. The shop was filled with aging machines, tribal knowledge, and 60 tons of accumulated scrap and unused tooling. Setups stretched to 12 hours, processes were inconsistent, and workflow relied heavily on memory. But instead of being overwhelmed, Matt leaned on his lean training, curiosity, and sheer persistence. He started running SMED events, reorganizing tools, improving fixtures, standardizing processes, and slowly bringing the shop into a more modern, efficient operation. In this episode, Matt shares the candid story of acquiring and rebuilding a legacy shop — from financing challenges and navigating the previous owner's quirks, to learning machining concepts from scratch, to discovering the stark difference between profit and cashflow. His journey is honest, relatable, and full of practical lessons for anyone considering buying a shop or transforming the one they lead today.

El verdadero espíritu de la Navidad empieza en tu interior En este mensaje, Sebastián y Andrés nos muestran que la Navidad no se pierde por falta de tiempo, sino por darle prioridad a todo… menos a lo que realmente trae paz. Así como en la primera Navidad, cuando José estuvo a punto de separarse de María, Dios nos invita a abrir espacio, reconciliar y dejar que el amor gane sobre el orgullo. La clave está en soltar las cargas, perdonar sin acumular resentimientos y hacer un “upgrade” interno: dejar que lo que importa vuelva al centro. Este mensaje es una invitación a vivir diciembre desde la plenitud, la unidad y la paz que transforma cualquier ambiente. __ Conviértete en un Builder de Livingroom y accede a beneficios exclusivos mientras construimos juntos.

Ram Ramanathan, Vice President of Product at Ribbon Communications, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss Acumen, Ribbon's new AI-powered platform designed to accelerate autonomous networking for service providers and enterprises. Ramanathan explains that rapid shifts—5G adoption, cloud-native architectures, heightened security demands, and a retiring telecom workforce—have created urgent pressure for automation. “We focus on practical, pragmatic AI that delivers real ROI—not hype,” he noted. Practical Automation Across the Service Lifecycle Acumen provides end-to-end observability and automation using real-time data and ML. It is vendor-agnostic, spans OSI layers 0–7, and includes a low-code/no-code Builder that allows Ribbon to tailor automation workflows and chatbots to each customer's environment. Real Deployments Already Underway Ribbon is working with several tier-one operators, including a major mobile provider moving from 4G to 5G across a multi-vendor network. Acumen is helping automate fault management, speed root-cause analysis, and proactively inform customer-facing teams. “It's not just fixing issues faster—it's keeping everyone, including the customer, informed,” Ramanathan said. Looking Ahead Ramanathan cautions organizations to avoid AI hype by setting realistic expectations and focusing on high-ROI outcomes first. “Break it into stages and show progress along the way,” he advised.

With the agency awarded an additional €2.5 billion in the budget, we first hear from John Coleman, CEO of the LDA, and then the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Jack Chambers.

Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both British and American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. 1941

Ronnie sits down with fellow SEMA Blazer builder Brandon Burrell of Burrell Images and The Modified Rides Podcast. 

[323] Featuring Derrick Rutherford (Co-Owner, Valentini's), Arif Isikgun (CEO & Founder, Ai Beauty Consultancy), and Cole Marker (Founder & Builder in Chief, thync.c), this episode reimagines retail not as a “pushy add-on," but as an essential part of sustainable business growth, driven by client care and rooted in trust.   Backed by data from the Phorest 2025 Consumer Insights Report and rooted in the incredible success Valentini's is having with retail (26% service-to-retail, 113$ average retail ticket), this conversation explores what's driving these impressive figures and flips the narrative on common blockers salon, spa, and clinic teams face in making retail a natural part of everyday operations. With Arif and Cole's added layer of lived experiences and insights as coaches, we first discuss the power of storytelling and the importance of thorough, process-driven consultations. Then, we speak to how systems make it stick, goal-setting and accountability elevate performance, and how retail can serve as an early indicator of broader issues in the business.   Learn how to build a retail approach that is: Backed by systems that make the offer authentic, care-centered, and consistent Sustainable and reflective of service standards and clients' levels of trust Empowers your team with confidence Integrates service, recommendations, and follow-through into one seamless client journey If you listen to one episode about retail this year… Let it be this one.   Follow Derrick Rutherford, Arif Isikgun, and Cole Marker on Instagram: @derrick_rutherford, @aibeautyconsultancy, @thync.c_coaching   Enjoyed the episode? Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!

Send us a textEveryone's sharing hot takes on the 50-year mortgage, but most people miss the real question: does it help you buy smarter, or just slower? We sit down with San Antonio experts Robert Elder and Stephanie Paxton to unpack affordability beyond the headline rate, run the equity math on 30-year vs 50-year scenarios, and reveal why taxes, insurance, and maintenance now drive the monthly payment more than anything else.We get brutally honest about new construction. Builder buy-downs and flashy incentives can be seductive, but the true cost is often buried in the price—and appreciation can lag for years in areas with abundant land and endless new phases. We contrast that with landlocked neighborhoods where limited supply supports stronger resale dynamics. We also break down buyer expectations that hold people back: choosing staging over structure, refusing longer commutes that transplants accept, and chasing “move-in ready” at the expense of long-term value. If you're weighing a first home, a move-up purchase, or a possible rental conversion, this conversation will sharpen your strategy.We close with where the deals actually are. Year-end inventory homes can be negotiated hard across all price tiers, while select resale properties offer meaningful price cuts. The playbook: model your total payment with taxes and insurance, stress-test your five- to ten-year plan, and consider the 50-year loan as a tactical bridge with a refinance path—not a forever decision. Local data beats national headlines every time. If you're ready to run your numbers and build a plan that fits your life, tap follow, share this with a friend who's shopping, and leave a quick review to tell us what you want covered next.Support the showKey Factors Podcast is Powered by LoanBot.com Host: Mark Jones | Sr. Loan Officer | NMLS# 513437 If you would like to work with Mark on your next home purchase or as a partner visit iThink Mortgage.

But what if this headline says more about us than it does about politics? In today's episode, Joel Settecase takes this viral story and connects it to a much bigger truth about human nature, divine renovation, and what it really means to be made in the image of God.In this episode:• Why Trump's “White House ballroom” has everyone talking (and what's really going on)• The surprising spiritual lesson in C.S. Lewis's “God as Builder” metaphor• How God renovates hearts just like a master craftsman rebuilds a house• What Scripture says about our ontological status as humans—superior yet subordinate• How secularism distorts human dignity (and why the Christian worldview restores it)• The connection between creation, redemption, and the true “Temple” of GodKey Scriptures:– 2 Corinthians 5:17– 2 Timothy 2:20–23– Acts 17:28– 1 Corinthians 6:19–20– Romans 1:18–25Resources Mentioned:– C.S.

One pebble can create countless ripples—and this episode follows the journey of Jhaelen Hernandez-Eli who's done exactly that. From Singapore to North Carolina, architecture studios to unexpected sales roles, and a decade inside a rocket-ship design firm, the path winds through public service at NYC EDC and executive leadership at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Now, that journey culminates in a new strategy practice helping nonprofits, museums, and campuses plan, fund, and deliver capital projects that truly transform communities. At the core of every chapter is one question: How can institutions be more useful? We explore themes of equity, climate resilience, and elevating new voices—all in service of creating places that matter.Things we cover: Why capital projects shape public life and accessHow the Met's $2B program advanced equity and climate prioritiesSelecting architects beyond the usual shortlistLessons from sales, procurement, and negotiationPublic service as a lever for middle-class jobsSalary transparency, trade-offs, and leverageTeaching as a platform for opening the “black box”Launching a mission-driven firm and curating a values-based teamDisclaimer: The views shared on Career Cheat Code are those of the guests and don't reflect the host or any affiliated organizations.
