The Rickey Smiley Morning Show packed the conversation with headline-making news, candid celebrity revelations, and inspirational moments. The show opened with the latest developments in the Karmelo Anthony case after a Texas judge denied the teenager’s request for a new trial, leaving his murder conviction and 35-year sentence in place while his legal team continues its appeal efforts. Recent reports indicate the retrial request centered on evidence and courtroom procedures that the defense argued were not fully presented to jurors, but the court ultimately upheld the original verdict. The crew also debated parenting and self-defense after Cardi B revealed she has enrolled her children in boxing classes and wants them to be able to protect themselves and, one day, defend her if necessary. Adding a more personal and meaningful conversation, singer Kehlani opened up about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, explaining how therapy, medication, and understanding her triggers have transformed her life and improved her mental health journey. The show also celebrated a major career milestone for Jeezy, who was surprised by LeBron James with a Key to the City of Las Vegas during the finale of his “Legend of the Snowman” residency. Rather than ending the residency, Jeezy announced additional dates through New Year’s Eve, showing continued demand for the Atlanta rap icon. Listeners were also treated to Money Mondays with Jini Thornton, who shared practical advice on helping aging parents organize their finances, legal documents, and long-term care plans before a crisis occurs. Other trending topics included Jamie Foxx preparing to welcome another child, tributes to late actor Michael Wright of The Five Heartbeats, and a lively discussion about mental health, family, and protecting loved ones while navigating life’s challenges.

Patrick opens the hour fielding challenging questions from listeners about SSPX sacraments, blessings for couples in irregular situations, and the Catholic perspective on organ donation, moving seamlessly from theological nuance to personal dilemmas, including a story of an AI scam targeting the elderly that disrupts a family. Unexpected calls about faith, loss, grief, the authority of parents, and the meaning of obedience push the conversation well beyond surface-level advice, while Patrick threads in gratitude for supporters and stories of everyday miracles. Candid, sometimes raw, the hour pulses with the messiness, hope, and complexity of real Catholic life. Chandler (email) - Regarding Rome's claim that SSPX marriages and confessions are no longer valid. How can the Pope do this when the eastern orthodox have been around 1000 years, and the church recognizes all their sacraments as valid? (01:48) Juanita (email) - I recently read an article with this heading: “Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo receives Fiducia Supplicans-style blessing after civil marriage”. Am I correct, despite this “blessing” this 10-years-in-the-making marriage remains an invalid marriage (because they are both “Catholic” but chose only a civil ceremony with no mention of an actual Sacrament of Marriage in a Catholic church)? Kelly (email) – Question about cremation Caroline - It is not just the children who are being attacked by AI, it’s also the elderly. My mother was scammed on her device and asked for personal details. (27:29) Harold - I called years ago about advice on my deaconate formation to continue on. Thank you for giving me the advice you gave! (39:13) Tony - How does prayer work? (44:06)

I can bet you want two things: a thriving team and a thriving culture. For a lot of us, they feel like a mirage — we can see them, but we can't quite get there. In this episode I sit down with Dr. Jamie Shapiro, author of Connected Culture: The New Science for Thriving Teams and Cultures, CEO coach, and organizational psychologist. We dig into why she calls culture an "operating system," her five C's model (with connection — care and trust — at the center), why clarity is a force multiplier and not bureaucracy, the difference between collaboration and teamwork, and how AI shows up differently in cultures built on trust versus fear.

The Regulatory Playbook for Global Cannabis Expansion: Cross-Border Compliance, Banking Access, and Legal Architecture with Juliana SalazarIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Juliana Salazar, an Attorney and Legal Counsel with Rudick Law Group, to examine the complex regulatory matrix governing international cannabis markets. Juliana, a Colombian-licensed attorney and international consultant operating at the intersection of North and Latin American legal frameworks, details how multi-jurisdictional operators can navigate shifting federal policies, overcome systemic banking barriers, and mitigate compliance risks. This conversation provides an essential, practical guide for cannabis founders, investors, and corporate advisors looking to translate complex legal jargon into actionable operational steps, structure cross-border trade partnerships, and leverage productized legal models to build sustainable, high-valuation enterprises.The Legal Infrastructure: Navigating Multi-Jurisdictional Regulations and Mitigating Cross-Border RisksThe primary bottleneck restricting growth for scaling cannabis enterprises is the sheer friction caused by fragmented, fast-changing regulatory frameworks that vary wildly across municipal, state, and international borders. Juliana Salazar explains that many operators make the costly mistake of blurring the legal lines between medical frameworks—which demand rigid pharmaceutical-grade quality controls and prescription oversight—and adult-use commercialization. In the United States, federal prohibition continues to create severe financial access challenges, forcing legitimate businesses to operate through complex banking workarounds, while international hubs like Colombia face strict export mandates regarding end-use product definitions. To expand safely, business leaders must establish proactive compliance architecture, documenting every financial transaction and supply chain touchpoint long before regulatory scrutiny occurs.Overcoming the traditional friction between corporate legal counsel and day-to-day operations requires a fundamental shift in how legal guidance is delivered to business leaders. Rather than overwhelming executives with dense, ambiguous statutory text, modern legal advisors must act as strategic translators, converting statutory requirements into clean, step-by-step operational checklists, clear employee SOPs, and predictable, productized legal packages. Adopting fixed-fee legal services allows emerging startups and established multi-state operators to eliminate unpredictable hourly billing, accurately forecast legal expenses, and secure ongoing compliance education without fearing cost overruns. This structured approach to legal risk management ensures that internal management tiers stay focused on execution while maintaining total alignment with local enforcement standards.Furthermore, capitalizing on emerging cross-border trade opportunities between Latin America, North America, and European markets demands a methodical, highly intentional approach to corporate growth. Fast-moving entrepreneurs frequently rush international partnerships without verifying that destination countries permit specific plant compounds or product formats, leading to seized shipments, canceled licenses, and severe capital loss. Successful cross-border expansion requires local legal expertise on both sides of the transaction to vet international partners, verify import/export documentation, and monitor federal rescheduling trends. When intentional, mindful decision-making, transparent financial governance, and productized legal architecture are synthesized into a single expansion strategy, cannabis executives remove systemic operational friction, safeguard their assets, and predictably increase enterprise equity.About Juliana SalazarJuliana Salazar is an Attorney, Legal Counsel at Rudick Law Group, and a prominent international legal consultant specializing in global cannabis compliance and cross-border transactions. Based in Bogotá, Colombia, Juliana serves as the firm's first international counsel, bridging the gap between Latin American cultivation hubs and North American commercial markets. Drawing from an extensive background as a licensed attorney and entrepreneur, she specializes in translating complex international regulations into practical, accessible strategies for emerging startups and established multi-jurisdictional operators.About Rudick Law GroupRudick Law Group is an elite boutique law firm and legal advisory consultancy engineered to support high-growth businesses, investors, and operators within regulated industries, with a specialized focus on cannabis law. The firm offers comprehensive legal services spanning corporate structuring, regulatory compliance, intellectual property protection, cross-border trade strategies, and productized legal plans. Through transparent, fixed-fee solutions and deep industry expertise, Rudick Law Group enables business owners to mitigate legal exposure, streamline compliance workflows, and scale their enterprise valuation.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeRudick Law Group Official Website: rudicklawgroup.comJuliana Salazar on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/salazarbonettKey Episode HighlightsMedical vs. Adult-Use Legal Mechanics: Differentiating between strict medical compliance frameworks and adult-use regulations to ensure proper market entry.Cross-Border Trade Protocols: Navigating complex export and import mandates between Latin American producers, European importers, and North American distribution networks.Mitigating Federal Banking Obstacles: Implementing rigorous financial documentation systems to secure compliant banking relationships in federally restricted markets.Productized Legal Architecture: Utilizing fixed-fee legal plans to replace unpredictable hourly billing and provide accessible, ongoing compliance support.Translating Dense Legal Frameworks: Converting complex statutory mandates into actionable operational checklists and SOPs for frontline management teams.ConclusionThe conversation with Juliana Salazar underscores that thriving in the global cannabis sector requires an intentional balance of high-level regulatory strategy and practical operational execution. By standardizing internal compliance protocols, leveraging transparent legal structures, and taking a measured approach to international expansion, business leaders can transform a volatile, highly regulated operation into a resilient, self-sustaining corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur
Jon Herold recovers from a canceled Florida trip (thanks to an airport radar outage) to dig into Trump's wide ranging Punchbowl News interview, breaking down his lukewarm comments on Senate Leader Thune, his surprisingly uncertain tone on the midterms, and some fascinating remarks on crypto, AI, and a possible 2028 run. He also plays a clip of John Solomon making the case that the intelligence community's election interference dwarfs anything foreign adversaries did, walks through two new executive orders cracking down on birth tourism and birthright citizenship, and covers a federal court blocking White House ballroom construction. There's also a pointed breakdown of a new GAO report finding DOGE's claimed savings didn't hold up to scrutiny, plus a disappointing July jobs report. Sponsor reads, meetup logistics, and plenty of live chat banter round out a newsy Friday show.
In this recap episode, Lesley Logan and Brad Crowell revisit Lesley's conversation with Amy Dickens, a joy advocate, author of 101 Ways to Spread Joy, and creator of Joyfully You. Amy found joy after years of mental health struggles and turned it into a practice for nervous system regulation. The hosts get honest about what it costs to stay positive inside a negative industry, and why joy is something you build rather than something you wait for.

Like, that would be a toxic positivity thing. Finding joy is the neighbors that came over and showed how much they love and support you, and brought you new items and new things. I think finding joy or being the joy doesn't mean that you're not feeling feelings. It just means that you are not hyper-focused on all the shit.Lesley Logan 0:25 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 1:08 Take it away.Lesley Logan 1:09 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap, where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the delightful combo I had with Amy Dickens in our last episode. If you haven't yet, listen to that interview. Feel free to pause this now. Go back because you missed out on some joy stuff. Like it was all joyful. Super joy. Brad Crowell 1:23 Yes you did. Lesley Logan 1:24 So, if you want to miss on joyLesley Logan 1:26 It was delightful. Lesley Logan 1:27 You can listen to this first to see how much joy is in it, and then get that joy intrigue fixed by listening to her episode after. Today is August 6th. It's a day after my brother's birthday, 2026, and it kicks off. Brad Crowell 1:39 Clutter Awareness WeekLesley Logan 1:41 Which I'm sure the people who have clutter also hate that it's kicking off on a Thursday, but that's how they did it, which takes place annually, shining a light on the often overlooked issue of physical and mental clutter. Ooh, mental clutter too. This week encourages individuals to identify, confront, and overcome disorganization in their lives. Join the movement by decluttering a space, donating unused items, or learning new organizational strategies. So, I am super excited to say that I have, by the time you listen to this, taken all of our old dish towels, studio cleaning towels, old towels, Brad doesn't like that, but I'm taking old towels, all to the SPCA, the Nevada SPCA, because they will use them, and I got myself some new microfiber towels for the studio. And I'm gonna find kitchen towels that actually soak up shit because the ones we have, I don't know if you noticed, Brad, they just move it around. They just move the liquid around. There is something wrong with these towels, so they are gone. I'm taking them away. Time for some matching cute towels.Brad Crowell 2:45 That is funny. Yeah, you're not wrong, and it's interesting because sometimes it's easy to get stuck in cleaning just so that you can focus, and then... Lesley Logan 2:55 Well that's definitely ADHD...Brad Crowell 2:57 But then other times I go through not cleaning, and it just piles up. Things just pile up. Lesley Logan 3:02 I'm looking at a basket, and I was looking at it before we started this call. Before I knew what the week announcement was, and I was like, "This should be a box. Why is this an open basket? And why is this basket here?" And then if we take, you guys cannot see because what you see is very strategic, but this podcast room has become Monica's closet. I'm just gonna say it. If you know Monica from Friends, this is Monica's closet. And by the time you hear this, I'm going to say that we have done something to it because it's time.Brad Crowell 3:34 It's time to declutter.Lesley Logan 3:35 Alright. So tell us. Make sure you send a win in of what you decluttered this week. Send in a win to the beitpod.com/questions. Okay, really quick, as you have heard, the rumors are true. I created a teacher training program for new teachers or somewhat trained teachers who want to study Pilates the way I teach it. So if you like the style of my Pilates instruction, you like my tutorials, my flashcards, you want to go through my training. It's called UpLift, the capital L. And the educators for this program are people who trained with me through my mentorship program, eLevate. And so, if you are a comprehensively trained teacher and you want to study directly with me, then you want to do eLevate. If you actually just want to train through a training that I've created and that I'm very intimately involved in, but my eLevate grads will be teaching, you want to go through UpLift. So, UpLift's waitlist for teachers and people who want to be in that training is xxll.co/uws, and if youBrad Crowell 4:29 Yeah, that's just to also make a distinction, UpLift is for people who are not yet teachers.Lesley Logan 4:34 Not yet teachers. However.Brad Crowell 4:35 But eLevate is are for comprehensively trained teachers already.Lesley Logan 4:40 Yes, and I have to keep saying this because it's important. The industry is very unique. There are people who've only been trained on Mat or Reformer or Mat and Reformer, and so if you want to do a comprehensive training, you could go through UpLift because you cannot go through eLevate because you have to have had a comprehensive training to do eLevate. Yes. If you are already a comprehensively trained instructor and you're like, "Oh, I want to learn your teaching style, but it doesn't have to be directly with you. I prefer something in person." You could be a bridge participant in UpLift. So it's definitely for people who want to become a Pilates instructor. But there are ways where you're already doing some sort of teaching that you may prefer UpLift to eLevate. Those of you who are asking me how you can be an educator for eLevate, I love you. Thank you. I'm so glad you're so excited. You actually need to go through eLevate. So the actual proper channel is to go through eLevate, and so you want to go to lesleylogan.co/elevate. If you just want to study with me and not teach UpLift, you can still go through eLevate, but you have to be a comprehensively trained instructor. Boom. There, we did it. Okay.Brad Crowell 5:41 Slayed.Lesley Logan 5:41 We are on summer tour. We are on the road. It's happening. I don't even know what day, we must be in Lawrence, Kansas, or we might be in Nashville today. Hold on.Brad Crowell 5:49 The 6th. I think we're in Lawrence or Knoxville. Let's see.Lesley Logan 5:53 Well, I don't know what day the tour starts, and I actually haven't looked, but we do start in Denver. That sold out. Lawrence, Kansas, that's sold out. Then it's Nashville. Then it's Knoxville, a rooftop location for the mat class. It's going to be so freaking cool. Then it's Greensboro, North Carolina. I know we have a day off before we go to Augusta, Georgia. Then Atlanta, Georgia.Brad Crowell 6:13 We're in Lawrence on A ugust 6.Lesley Logan 6:14 August 6. So this is Lawrence, Kansas. Second day of the tour is August 6. Oh, we start on my brother's birthday. There we go. That'll be easy to remember. So there is, at the time of this recording, still space in stops 3 all the way to 14, but spaces are very much running out in Atlanta, Huntsville, Birmingham, Jackson, and Tucson. In fact, they might already be gone by the time you listen to this. But there is some good space in Nashville, Knoxville, Greensboro, Augusta, Frisco, and El Paso. So in El Paso, we're going to be teaching in Spanish. I mean, I'm going to have a translator. I don't know how to teach in Spanish. I know how to understand if she's saying what I said in Spanish. So don't worry, I can hear that. So our tour is powered by Balanced Body, which means we have gift certificates and prizes to give away. We have the Contrology equipment to bring in, so you can try it out. We have a discount, something you can use to buy your own equipment. Sure. So come on down, opc.me/tour. And then if you're new here, don't forget to check out our Pilates flashcards and our posters. Our flashcards are amazing, and you can buy them from us and support an amazing small company, and part of the money that you spend goes to the Nevada SPCA, which helps dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and bunnies get well taken care of till they find their furever home, as they would say, furever home. And if you want our posters, we have those, too.Brad Crowell 7:38 I caught that (inaudible).Lesley Logan 7:39 Yeah, well, you just looked around like, "What did she say?" So, opc.me/flashcards, opc.me/posters. Look how easy we make those links. What is not easy is if you want to send your win in to celebrate that you got those posters or flashcards, you have to send it into beitpod.com/questions. All right, we no longer take your questions here. We do those on Sundays on YouTube, on our YouTube Live, so come to that. Our OnlinePilatesClasses.com has a YouTube channel, and we go live every Sunday chatting with you. So instead, we bring up a charity that's topical for the time. So what is it, Brad?Brad Crowell 8:15 That's right. All right, this month is Vaccination or Immunization Awareness Month.Lesley Logan 8:19 Vaccination or Immunization Awareness Month.Brad Crowell 8:22 That's what it is. So August, we're focusing on Vaccinate Your Family. Kicking off our immunization spotlight, we're featuring Vaccinate Your Family, a nonprofit with serious roots. It was founded in 1991 by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.Lesley Logan 8:34 Love the Carters.Brad Crowell 8:36 And former Arkansas First Lady Betty Bumpers.Lesley Logan 8:41 It looks like "Ladybug" if you go too fast because it says "First Lady Betty Bumpers," and I just read "Ladybug."Brad Crowell 8:46 That's amazing. Originally as Every Child By Two, renamed Vaccinate Your Family in 2018. Lesley Logan 8:52 The goal was to like get people vaccinated by two years old.Brad Crowell 8:55 Its mission is to protect people of all ages from vaccine-preventable diseases by reaching everyone in the U.S. with science-based information and a real pathway to immunization, including a tool that helps families figure out how to actually pay for vaccines and a grassroots advocacy program that trains everyday people to share their stories. In a year where measles has come roaring back across our entire country, the work matters more than usual. And this month we're featuring a very well-vetted...Lesley Logan 9:22 YesBrad Crowell 9:23 ...charity. I mean, they don't get more vetted than this. They have a 92% score and four-star rating from Charity Navigator, plus a Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid. Whether you're a parent, a caregiver, or someone who just wants families to have clear answers and real access, this one is absolutely worth a look. Find out more and support them at vaccinateyourfamily.com.Lesley Logan 9:42 And I think this is really important because it's a really weird time right now where people are trusting influencers over actual science-based information, and that can be very harmful. Not just for the people who get misinformation, but also for the people that that misinformation negatively affects, right? Like there are people who believe that these vaccines are causing autism out in the world. Autism has been here before vaccines. It's not a thing you catch. It's a thing that's part of how your body and brain all work together. And when people spread that misinformation, it negatively affects people who are autistic in a way that's unfair and unwarranted and awful. But the other reality is there are people who cannot get vaccinated for whatever reason. Like there are people who are either not old enough for certain vaccines or their system is going through something. They have cancer or things like that, and so they cannot. And so as a community, we are supposed to be doing this together. And because of misinformation about vaccines that has been debunked too many times, the U.S. is no longer measles-free, and in fact, they think that we'll never get it back. And it's a sad thing because measles does ruin your entire immune system, including things you were already immunized from.Brad Crowell 10:59 And you could die.Lesley Logan 11:00 Yeah, you can. And if you want to see a real-life example of how they educate and talk about that and be entertained, watch The Pitt. Yep, very interesting episode about that. Maybe you don't die, but maybe the person that got exposed to it in those first four days that you had it...Brad Crowell 11:12 Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:13 ...couldn't be vaccinated. I mean...Brad Crowell 11:14 When they did, I can't remember if it was smallpox or measles back in the day. The pitch was not everybody can get the vaccine.Lesley Logan 11:22 Yeah.Brad Crowell 11:23 So therefore, it's incumbent on us to give a shit about our neighbors who can't get it.Lesley Logan 11:28 It was polio.Brad Crowell 11:29 I think it was polio.Lesley Logan 11:30 Your great uncle got polio.Brad Crowell 11:31 You're right. I think it was polio. So not everyone can get the vaccine because of immunity stuff. So the best thing for the community is for everyone who can get the vaccine to get the vaccine so that we are not carriers or passing things along. A nd it protects others.Lesley Logan 11:49 Well, and also it's really interesting. Dr. Divya on Instagram did this whole thing about the best peptide you can get, the best peptide. And she talked about how amazing peptides are, what peptides are, how they come from your body. GLP-1, the P stands for peptide, and everyone in the world is super into peptides. And she said the best peptide is a vaccination.Brad Crowell 12:09 Right. B ecause that's what they fucking are.Lesley Logan 12:14 That's what they are.Brad Crowell 12:16 Right. Yep.Lesley Logan 12:16 It's hard. It's fucking hard. Anyway, there's a lot of bad stuff. I understand there's all the awful history about how a lot of vaccinations were done and how racist stuff happened, and so I get that there are so many layers, and I don't want our conversation here to be pedantic or small about it. But I do want to acknowledge that we got rid of fucking measles, and now we're not.Brad Crowell 13:17 Yeah, now it's back.Lesley Logan 13:18 Vaccinate your family, if you want to help support them, to help people who are not misinformed yet get taken care of and get the help they need because a lot of these things are free if they know about it.Brad Crowell 13:30 If you have a charity that you think should be featured or we should be talking about, let us know. Go to beitpod.com/questions, and you can also leave us a win for the Friday episode. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to talk about Amy Dickens.Brad Crowell 13:43 All right, welcome back. Let's talk about Amy Dickens. Amy is a joy advocate, author of 101 Ways to Spread Joy, and the creator of Joyfully You. She helps people reconnect to their joy as a tool for nervous system regulation and transformation. After struggling with mental health challenges into her mid-to-late 20s, Amy discovered that finding joy became her turning point. Her experience led her to explore how community and intentional joy practices reshape lives, and she's known for leading joy parades in the streets and helping others overcome social anxiety to build meaningful connections. That's pretty freaking cool.Lesley Logan 14:23 So cool. And I have to be honest, I'm sure someone in her life was like, "You're gonna make money doing this?" But she is, and she's doing a great job, and she brings such a smile to your face. I loved so much of what she said. When we show up as the joy that we wish to see in the world, that creates this invisible ripple effect, and it's so true.Brad Crowell 14:43 Did you say be it till you see it?Lesley Logan 14:45 Be it till you see it. I think that's what she said. That's what I said. Yeah. No, and I think this is so true. If there's an idea, if you need love, go give love. If you need joy, go give joy to people. Go smile. Go be. She says in a world full of fear and divisiveness, joy acts as a breath of fresh air. Yeah. And it really is true. In the industry that I'm in, it can be really negative, really nasty. I'm super pissed about people taking my IP and all this stuff. But I have this girl who's in a similar situation where someone in another country is using her stuff, has gone through all these efforts, and she's finally at the end of the rope. She's like, "All I can do is actually just put all the evidence on Facebook, call them out, and blast it because I can't go any further." And she's like, "Would you help me share this?" And I said, "I can't do that." I said, "It's not that I don't support you. Not that I probably wouldn't do the same thing. It's that I try not to put out negative stuff in this industry. I try to find a positive way to talk about the shit so that there's hope." And that goes through, like, how can we figure out a way to be the breath of fresh air?Brad Crowell 15:50 Yeah.Lesley Logan 15:51 In our offices, in the family situation, so that not only do we experience joy, but people do too. And maybe those people who are fearful and divisive might actually, I don't know. Maybe something happens when they experience a little bit of joy..Brad Crowell 16:03 Yeah, it's interesting. It's tough to stay focused on the positive, especially if somebody is maligning you or stealing from you. So yeah, that's a hard thing.Lesley Logan 16:14 I think that's a distinction in the joy. And then we had a guest last year where we talked about toxic positivity. Being a breath of fresh air and finding joy does not have to be in the shit that's happening. It can actually be next to the shit, right? It's like the idea of, like, okay, your house burnt down, so at least I get to design that master bedroom that I wanted. Like, that would be a toxic positivity thing. Finding joy is the neighbors that came over and showed how much they love and support you, and brought you new items and new things. I think finding joy or being the joy doesn't mean that you're not feeling feelings. It just means that you are not hyper-focused on all the shit.Brad Crowell 16:54 Hyper-focused on all the shit. Yep. I really loved when she was talking about how do you predict joy and happiness. She said that the number one predictor is your relationships.Lesley Logan 17:09 Yes.Brad Crowell 17:10 In life.Lesley Logan 17:10 We were talking about this with another person. Not us, with another person. You heard a guy talking about happiness and quality of relationship. It has to be with three prongs. So this is very fascinating. Your number one predictor of happiness is your relationships, and it's like the idea of you're the average of the five people you hang out with.Brad Crowell 17:28 Yeah, sure.Lesley Logan 17:28 So if they're shitty people, you're probably not going to have a lot of joy.Brad Crowell 17:31 Yeah, she said it includes both deep, intimate relationships, but also saying hi to random strangers.Lesley Logan 17:37 I like that you do that. My mom does that. I think I smile. I acknowledge.Brad Crowell 17:43 Yeah, I definitely started doing that when I was a teenager, and I would just compliment people. You know, "I like your shoes," or "I like your sweatshirt."Lesley Logan 17:52 All the time. They don't even listen sometimes. He said something one night in the airport. He told this one person, "I like your jacket," and a guy with a shitty jacket was like, "This thing?" And it was like, "No, I was talking to her."Brad Crowell 18:02 It was like, "Oh my god."Lesley Logan 18:04 But anyways, we all had a good laugh, so there was joy there. And you were a little pocket of joy for someone.Brad Crowell 18:09 So funny.Lesley Logan 18:09 Yeah. But if you are, "I can't say hi to strangers because what if they're crazy? What if they come at me?" Ladies, I feel you, which is why I actually make sure I'm very kind to the people behind the counter of the places that I get coffee. They are safe. They are behind the coffee thing.Brad Crowell 18:26 Yeah.Lesley Logan 18:26 Someone vetted them to work at that coffee place, and so I will bring joy to them. And then if I want to the people around me, I have a witness. So I feel good about it. I don't do it on the street as much, but, you know.Brad Crowell 18:36 She said that even saying hi to your neighbor actually matters for your mental health and joy. Yeah. So saying hi, or waving, or being kind to the mail person or whatever. She said we are in a loneliness epidemic right now, and learning to build community is a skill.Lesley Logan 18:51 Yeah. Brad Crowell 18:52 Learning to build community is a skill. The hard part requires being brave, that moment of hello, but the payoff is actual community and connection, right? That is amazing for our own loneliness, our own mental health, for our own joy and our own happiness. So she said, you have to put yourself in situations where you feel really scared and you're doing it anyways.Lesley Logan 19:17 It's like she listened to the podcast.Brad Crowell 19:20 Yeah. Actually, I was laughing because so many things—do it scared. She didn't say "be it till you see it," but she basically described that. A lot of the things that she was talking about, I was laughing because I was like, "Oh yeah, we say that. We talk about that."Lesley Logan 19:35 I love it. I love it. I know, and I think that's really true. There is a loneliness epidemic. One thing that I love about our situation where we live now versus the apartment, because we couldn't really just, I guess we did know our mail person at the apartment, but we know our FedEx driver, we know our UPS people, we know our mail lady. And even the ones we don't know, we're always out there. We meet them outside, like, "Hey, how's it going?" They know. They're like, "Oh, this is the Pilates house, right?" They probably don't have a lot of engagement. They're just on the roads dealing with people. So if you just even be nice to them, you might be the impact that they need.Brad Crowell 20:20 By doing that, you're the impact that you need.Lesley Logan 20:22 Yes, I agree. I remember, oh my gosh, when I worked in retail, we had the same UPS driver Monday to Friday and a different guy on Saturday, and we loved our Monday-to-Friday guy. We would talk to him every day. One day we didn't have him. He's like, "Oh yeah, I was subbing around in Newport." "You're going to leave us for the ocean, aren't you?" And he's, "No, I'm in AC all day. I don't have to do anything." But we were such good friends with our UPS driver, and it was something to look forward to every day. It's like part of the routine. Here he comes.Brad Crowell 20:47 That's fun. Yeah, I love it. Well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into those Be It Action Items. Welcome back. Let's talk about those Be It Action Items that you had with Amy Dickens. What bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your convo? She said she uses two practices for maintaining joy. The first one is miracle walks.Lesley Logan 21:12 I love this.Brad Crowell 21:13 Yeah, and she said... Lesley Logan 21:14 Like, the miracle dreams person we had.Brad Crowell 21:17 She said, just walk around. Walk your block. And she said, "Look up." She changes her perspective instead of looking down at her phone or ahead on the sidewalk. Look up. What are you actually seeing? She said, "You cannot return until you identify three miracles on this walk." Okay, so miracle number one might be dew on a leaf or birds singing, right? So three things where you're just observing something that is amazing, something that is astounding.Lesley Logan 21:43 I do this every morning. I take a note of the moon and the sunrise every morning.Brad Crowell 21:48 I love that.Lesley Logan 21:48 Yes. I see if I have a third one.Brad Crowell 21:51 For me, it's often like a cactus. I'll take a closer look at them because they're all fascinating, how they grow. It's completely different.Lesley Logan 22:01 They change every day.Brad Crowell 22:02 Yeah, it's crazy.Lesley Logan 22:03 Especially right now because of the flowering.Brad Crowell 22:05 Yeah, I know. This part of the year is so beautiful in Vegas. She said this trains your brain to actively scan for beauty and joy in places you've already walked a thousand times.Lesley Logan 22:16 Yes.Brad Crowell 22:16 So instead of just letting it all pass you by, even in the city, there are amazing things to see. So I love it. Miracle walks is one. Two, calendar blocking. Prioritize scheduling connection and joy before filling your calendar with work.Lesley Logan 22:31 This is actually very much on brand with what I say when I teach people how to do their schedule on our retreat, which is you have to put your priorities first.Brad Crowell 22:40 Yep.Lesley Logan 22:40 Sleep.Brad Crowell 22:41 Yep.Lesley Logan 22:42 Light is genius. Sleep.Brad Crowell 22:43 Yeah, your rocks in your schedule, the way we describe that, is prioritizing the opportunity for connection and joy should be paramount. It should absolutely be a part of your schedule.Lesley Logan 22:56 Yes, yes.Brad Crowell 22:57 You know, for me, youLesley Logan 22:58 You cannot fit joy in. You're gonna fit it in. It's gonna stress it out.Brad Crowell 23:02 Yeah, for me, it's been sitting on the front porch, drinking my coffee in the morning, just gathering my thoughts and enjoying the day. You know.Lesley Logan 23:10 You know what we have not done?Brad Crowell 23:11 Tell me.Lesley Logan 23:12 We have not told the podcast we have a dog.Brad Crowell 23:14 Oh. We have a new dog.Lesley Logan 23:18 Yeah.Brad Crowell 23:18 Congratulations, us.Lesley Logan 23:20 Yeah. We'll talk more about that another day.Brad Crowell 23:22 Yeah, we'll we'll share that more, if you're on socials. I'm sure you've seen it on Instagram.Lesley Logan 23:26 And your morning, the reason that thought dolphined up, is because you sit out on the porch in the mornings with the dog.Brad Crowell 23:43 Yes.Lesley Logan 23:43 And Darla tried to join this routine, and it did not bring Darla joy.Brad Crowell 23:47 She lasted about five minutes. It did not bring Darla joy. Lesley Logan 23:50 No, no, no. Brad Crowell 23:52 What about you? What was your biggest takeaway?Lesley Logan 23:53 Okay, give yourself permission to follow your joy, whatever big or little ways that might be. Okay, this is really important. Let me finish her thought. Take a deep breath. Be honest with yourself. Write it all down. Say, "Okay, today, what would I feel like if I was 5% more alive right now?" So she's giving you permission to follow your joy, whatever that is. I want to just make sure I say this. My loves, my ADHD people, my high overachiever perfectionists, just because something brings you joy does not mean you have to get paid to do it. So please, permission to follow your joy and not make it have a return on investment other than joy.Brad Crowell 24:35 Right.Lesley Logan 24:36 As soon as I started telling people I was reading my tarot, I kept having people say, "You do a reading for me." No. Don't take my joy from me. And so I stopped telling people because they're trying to make a job out of it. And then some people might go, "Oh, why are you doing that? You can't make money from that." That's not your point. So just protect your joy thing. Yep. Okay.Brad Crowell 24:52 I love it.Lesley Logan 24:52 So, in giving yourself permission to follow your joy, you don't have to rewrite your whole life story, but allow yourself just a little of that as a tiny little reframe, like a new way of telling the same thing about yourself or a new way of adding something in. You're not changing everything about yourself to add a little bit of joy, but you are probably an affirmation of, like, "I am someone who sees joy in my morning walks." That's not changing everything you are, but it's changing that one little spot and reframing those things. So, anyways.Brad Crowell 25:22 Yeah, I dig it.Lesley Logan 25:23 I think she's great.Brad Crowell 25:24 This was a really fun podcast. Her demeanor and her attitude were amazingly joyfu and it's contagious.Lesley Logan 25:30 Oh yeah. And also, 101 Ways to Spread Joy. All these people who can do 101 anything, I am already impressed because 101, that is so many. Give me 10.Brad Crowell 25:44 Check that out.

Send the episode with Amy, and then they'll come here and see how chaotic we are, and then hopefully they're stuck.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh continue to discuss the top six sports stories of the day in the Pick 6 segment
A company with “nothing broken” in its 401(k) plan decides it still wants to be better—so what happens next? In this episode, you'll hear how a benefits committee clarified its priorities, navigated the 3(21) vs 3(38) decision, and ran a disciplined advisor search that elevated both fiduciary governance and employee outcomes.In this episode, Eric and Jeremy Burroughs discuss:Background on ESCO, Weir, and committee chair responsibilitiesWhy a solid 401(k) plan still needed an advisorSetting clear priorities and using them as a “north star”3(21) vs 3(38) advisors and committee compositionRunning finalist presentations and empowering every committee voiceKey Takeaways:A retirement plan can be functioning well on the surface and still benefit greatly from more structure, rigor, and the addition of an outside advisor.Defining a small set of clear priorities early in an advisor search—and returning to them often—keeps every decision aligned and consistent.The choice between a 3(21) and 3(38) advisor should reflect the actual strengths, bandwidth, and investment expertise of the committee, not just past experience.Effective searches invite honest, value-adding presentations from finalists and encourage every committee member to ask direct, practical questions.Having the confidence to share opinions, concerns, and preferences is essential; silence in the room can prevent the committee from reaching the best decision for participants.“In business, the relationships that you develop over time are really important. And if you have trusted relationships, they're that much more important.” - Jeremy BurroughsJeremy C. Burroughs serves as the Weir Group Inc.'s President and Head of North American Tax. In his role, Mr. Jeremy oversees all Weir tax operations in North America as well as the global tax operations for the ESCO Division. Jeremy joined Weir as part of its acquisition of ESCO Corporation, where he served as the Company's Vice President, Tax and Treasurer. Mr. Burroughs has served as Chairperson of the ESCO Division's North America benefit plans for over ten years.

In this moving episode of Pursue Your Passion, Tyler sits down with non-profit powerhouse Mary Core to map out what it truly means to find your calling by serving others. Mary opens up about her profound "aha" moment, which emerged from one of her hardest personal seasons: facing a leukemia diagnosis for her 16-year-old daughter as a single mother. Through the overwhelming, hands-on support of local non-profits and a devoted faith community, Mary witnessed firsthand the power of a God-given safety net. This life-altering experience sparked her transition from a secure 21-year corporate career to a life dedicated to paying her "civic rent" through impactful non-profit leadership. Listeners will walk away inspired by Mary's practical, no-nonsense wisdom on how to discover their own "why" using simple exercises, like getting radical perspective from close friends, and how to safely navigate the volunteer world. She breaks down how anyone can use their natural professional talents - whether in IT, marketing, or accounting - to fill critical gaps in underfunded organizations. Ultimately, Mary shares an empowering message on leaning heavily on Scripture during times of crisis and building a supportive, faith-filled "posse" to help weather life's storms while actively building a sustainable future for our communities. Key Takeaways Identify What Makes Your Heart Beat: Before jumping into any cause, step back and evaluate who or what truly moves you—whether it's mentoring students, supporting the elderly, or caring for animals. Do Your Due Diligence: Don't give blindly. Use practical, transparent resources like Candid, Charity Navigator, and 990 tax forms to ensure the non-profits you support are financially sound and well-governed. Start Small to Avoid Burnout: You don't have to jump straight onto a board of directors. Start by volunteering for a single event, join a committee, test the waters, and slowly scale up your involvement. Discover Your "Why": Try Simon Sinek's friendship exercise. Ask 3 or 4 of your closest, most trusted confidants what unique value you bring to their lives. Their perspective will help reveal your natural spiritual gifts and calling.

Is Israel on the Front Line of Western Civilization? Is Israel actually important to America? Listen to this episode and decide for yourself. You've heard the slogans: "Free Palestine." "Apartheid state." "Anti-Zionist, not antisemitic." But how often do you hear from ordinary Israelis themselves? We took to the streets and spoke with Christian, Muslim, and Jewish Israelis—a taxi driver, store clerks, a CEO, an architect, and many others. Candid conversations. Some challenged our assumptions. Some shared stories that don't make the headlines. One left us with a message for America. No pundits. No spin. Just real people sharing their perspectives, so you can hear directly from those living there and decide for yourself._______________________________________________Is Israel the Front Line of Western Civilization?

In this eye-opening session, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most profound and misunderstood topics of all time: What is G-d? Moving beyond simplistic childhood images of a supernatural sky-being, we delve into Jewish, Chassidic, philosophical, and even scientific perspectives on the Divine. Drawing from thinkers like Einstein and the Alter Rebbe, this class gently unpacks a paradoxical truth: G-d is not less than personal, but also infinitely more than any person. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a class that will stretch your mind and open your heart.Takeaways:Not All “G-ds" Are the SameThe God that many reject may not be the G-d Torah and Kabbalah actually describe.Beyond Supernatural vs. NaturalJudaism sees G-d not as a supernatural being outside nature, but as the source and essence of all existence, both within and beyond nature.Personal and InfiniteG-d is not a person, but also not less than personal. The Divine is both the cosmic Author and the intimate Listener.Language & Metaphor MatterThe Torah uses varied metaphors to relate to G-d, each revealing a facet, none capturing the whole.G-d Is Experienced, Not Just ExplainedYou may not "prove" G-d like a theorem—but you can encounter G-d in awe, in kindness, in Torah, and in the quiet moments of the soul.#God #theology #thegodquestion #chassidus #Kabbalah #chabad #Spinoza #einstein #jewishphilosophy #Faith #personalgod #infinite #soul Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Send us Fan MailABA on Tap is proud to present Asia Johnson (Part 2 of 2):A kid can learn their colors and still be worse off if they've been trained to silence “no.” That tension drives our candid conversation with Asia Johnson as we wrestle with what ethical, modern ABA therapy should look like when the goal is a real life, not perfect compliance. We talk honestly about how many clinicians are shaped by a single supervisor, a single company, and a single packaged system, and how that funnel can turn good people into one-track practitioners without meaning to.From VB-MAPP popularity to PEAK's assessment structure, we dig into “teaching to the test” and why assessment scores can't be the finish line. We compare naturalistic teaching with discrete trial training as a tool, then zoom out to the bigger issue: assent-based practice, withdrawal of assent, and the fine line between instruction and coercion. We also unpack a hard but necessary question for client outcomes: what did it cost to get that progress, and did it create masking, trauma, or reduced self-advocacy?Then we shift into cultural competency in ABA and autism services in Black communities, where programming details matter, like hair care routines, barber shop versus salon experiences, and language goals that erase AAVE. Asia breaks down how competency, referral decisions, Medicaid access, and limited provider pools collide in the real world, plus why research diversity and historical medical mistrust shape family engagement. If you care about trauma-informed care, ethical ABA, and culturally responsive autism support, this conversation will stretch your thinking.

This is an encore episode of 'Behind The Table' — new episodes return Monday, July 6. Alyssa Farah Griffin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to break down what could be done to stop Trump's anti‑weaponization fund—and why she believes it could ultimately be challenged and blocked in the courts. She reflects on the end of an era with Stephen Colbert and explains why his cancellation may actually prove his influence is stronger than ever. Alyssa also discusses why it's possible to support certain policies, like Trump Rx, while still being a vocal critic of President Trump, saying, “I don't want Americans to keep hurting just to stick it to Donald Trump.” The conversation turns personal as Alyssa opens up about the mom guilt she experiences as a working mother and wraps with her evolving take on the ongoing 'Summer House' drama.

In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we're sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren't you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You'll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we're so glad you're here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.Bible References:Ephesians 2:8-10Hebrews 13:8John 19:30Ephesians 2:92 Corinthians 5:21James 2:17Philippians 2:12John 13:35John 14:15-31Hebrews 10:111 Peter 3:18Romans 14:5Romans 6:12Matthew 6:16-18Matthew 6:9-13Hebrews 10:142 Corinthians 5:89Luke 23:43Isaiah 6:51 Corinthians 2:9Romans 7Romans 8:12 Peter 2:31 Corinthians 2Galatians 1:6-8Mark 1:14-151 Corinthians 15Matthew 9:23-25Revelations 21:5Hebrews 11Luke 1:46-55Luke 2:11Mark 102 Timothy 3:16-17Matthew 17:1-82 Thessalonians 2 :15Isaiah 55:111 Corinthians 11-14Galatians 6:14Links:The Gentleness ChallengePenny Reward SystemPaint & ProseM Is for Mama
"Who says you can't win on a losing hand?" Kane Brown The Pivot takes Nashville...Country superstar Kane Brown joins The Pivot for one of his most candid conversations yet, opening up about the unlikely path that took him from posting videos on social media during work breaks to becoming one of the biggest names in country music. Sitting down with Ryan, Channing and Fred, Kane reflects on the challenges of breaking into a genre where he often feels overlooked, he shares how his determination, faith and family values help him navigate obstacles, racial encounters and industry skepticism along the way. Despite chart-topping success, sold-out arenas and countless accolades, Kane explains why he's never fully satisfied and continues chasing the next level. From battling self-doubt, loneliness that comes with success and mental health struggles of navigating fame, the conversation hits all levels. The conversation dives deep into his life off the stage—from recording music with his wife and building a family together to embracing the role of fatherhood and finding purpose beyond fame. Kane also opens up about the frustrating pattern of being passed over during awards season, how criticism became fuel, and why gratitude and ambition can coexist. A lifelong Georgia football fan, Kane shares stories about his friendships with some of the biggest names in sports, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, offering a glimpse into the relationships he's built far beyond the music world. From viral videos and self-belief to family, legacy and the pursuit of greatness, Kane Brown delivers an honest look at success, sacrifice and the question he's still trying to answer: When you've reached the top, what does the finish line really look like? This is a conversation about resilience, identity, purpose and the relentless drive to keep pushing forward—even when the world says you've already made it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Patrick examines tough choices in life, like breaking away from friendships that don’t bring us closer to God, and brings personal stories and listener testimonies into focus, as one man shares how he broke free from addiction through confession and daily Mass, and another caller seeks clarity on annulments and the Eucharist. He takes unpredictable turns from generational attitudes about marijuana to skepticism of profit-driven charismatic prayer movements, weaving together real-world struggles, faith, and the surprising ways technology emerges in daily routines. Candid conversations and unexpected reflections push listeners to question comfort, seek faith, and recognize how quickly the landscape of daily life can shift.

You asked, we're answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I've invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin's responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!
