In this compelling episode of Dollars & Sense with Joel Garris, the show dives deep into two urgent financial realities that could reshape your future: the explosion of ultra-long car loans and a retirement crisis few see coming—not about money, but about meaning. First, Joel tackles the “100-month car loan” phenomenon, revealing how soaring auto prices and sky-high average payments (now topping $750/month) are forcing families into unprecedented debt traps. He breaks down common mistakes—like focusing only on monthly payments or stretching loan terms to buy pricier vehicles—and offer smart, actionable strategies: buying used, choosing shorter loans, and planning purchases to protect your budget and future. Then, the show pivots to a powerful, rarely discussed retirement crisis: the loss of mattering. Joel illuminates why financial and health planning alone aren't enough and explores the emotional gap retirees face when work—and the sense of being needed—ends. You'll hear research-backed insights into why building a new sense of purpose, connection, and significance is the real key to a happy, resilient retirement. Plus, the episode unpacks the hidden financial blind spots that overwhelm grieving spouses, from surprise debts and locked accounts to the dreaded “widow's penalty” tax shock. Joel shares practical steps you can take today to protect your spouse and yourself, ensuring clarity and stability during life's toughest moments. If you want to avoid costly financial pitfalls and ensure your next chapter is not just secure—but meaningful—this episode is a must-listen.

Send us a textBarriers don't bury the church; they clarify the mission. The Book of Acts reveals a pattern in which every barrier is followed by a fresh witness to Jesus. In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Bishop Justin Holcomb using Acts as the centerpiece. From language and culture gaps to political pressure and outrage cycles, they discuss how a consecrated voice—rooted in promise, not panic—cuts through the noise and opens doors for real renewal.

If you're used to socking away extra retirement dollars pre-tax, you'll want to hear how the new rules could raise your tax bill—and why, for many, it's still smart to keep contributing. The segment unpacks who must comply, plan differences, and the pros and cons of Roth vs. traditional contributions. Plus, Joel and Christina walk you through critical “what to do now” steps so you don't get caught off guard, from checking your plan options to coordinating with your tax advisor. Finally, the episode wraps up with practical guidance for all listeners: review your eligibility for credits and deductions, start planning early, and remember that smart tax and retirement strategies can make a huge difference by year's end.

In this episode of the VSC Podcast, host Olivia Oropeza discusses the different entities who work together to provide survivors of sexual violence with the car and justice they deserve after experiencing a sexual assault.

Episode 2 Segment 1: Law Enforcement – Detective Rick SalcedoUCF Detective Rick Salcedo shares the role of law enforcement in how they work alongside other entities to support survivors. Rick Salcedo is a Sex Crimes Detective at the University of Central Florida's Police Department.

When someone experiences sexual violence, one of the most important steps in both the healing journey and the pursuit of justice is forensic evidence collection. These exams are conducted by specially trained forensic nurse examiners, who not only collect vital evidence after an assault, but also provide compassionate, trauma-informed care to their patients during one of the most difficult moments of their lives. Episode 2 Segment 3: Dr. Erin Hanson, Ph.D.Forensic Scientist Dr. Erin Hanson, Ph.D. explains how advancements in technology are transforming the way we pursue justice for survivors.

College admissions have changed dramatically since we were applying—and if you're parenting a teen right now, you probably feel that in your bones. In this episode, we talk honestly about the new reality of college admissions, why even “perfect on paper” kids aren't guaranteed a spot anymore, and how this process has become a major source of anxiety for both parents and teens. We share personal stories from our own families and what we're seeing every day in our therapy offices.More importantly, we dig into how not to let college admissions take over your identity, your household, or your relationship with your child. This conversation is about perspective, mental health, cost, and helping your kids find a path that actually fits who they are—not who the culture says they should be. If you're navigating college decisions right now (or know it's coming), this episode is meant to ground you, calm you, and remind you that there are many roads to a good life. Episode Highlights:[0:00] – We introduce the episode and why college admissions have become such an emotional minefield for families. [0:56] – Laura shares why this topic is personal and how fast admissions standards have shifted—even in just a few years. [1:57] – Why state schools like Florida State University and University of Florida feel nearly impossible to access now. [3:44] – Laura walks through the very different college paths of her three kids. [4:50] – We admit our former college “snobbery” and how our perspectives have radically changed. [5:30] – Colette reflects on her own college choices and why fit matters more than prestige. [9:30] – The real cost of college—and how skyrocketing tuition is shaping admissions pressure. [11:27] – Why community college and schools like University of Central Florida deserve way more respect. [14:49] – How parental fear and identity get tangled up in kids' college outcomes. [17:23] – Letting go of the “one right path” myth and expanding what success can look like. [21:33] – Supporting instead of micromanaging: being air traffic control, not the pilot. [24:22] – Why kids aren't always developmentally ready for college—and why that's okay. [27:02] – Protecting your home (and your sanity) with financial and emotional boundaries. [28:48] – Comparison culture, social media, and why they make this process so much harder. [30:30] – Creative, nonlinear paths: gap years, transfers, CLEP exams, and thinking differently. [31:54] – Our reminder that there are always choices—and this is not the end of the story. IPre-order The Cost of Quiet now!

If you think storytelling is just for the stage, think again. In this week's episode of Consulting Matters, I sat down with not one but two former Disney executives—brothers Bob and Rick Allen—who know the real power of story: not just to entertain, but to lead, influence, and change minds. Their Disney roots run deep (102 years combined, starting with their dad, who worked alongside Walt himself). But what they reveal goes far beyond theme parks and parades. Tune-in To Hear: Why story—not data—is the consultant's real superpower A behind-the-scenes look at how Disney embeds story into everything (including spreadsheets) The 6 storytelling elements every coach and consultant should master Why does how you share your ideas matter more than how smart your ideas are How to use story to influence even the most results-driven executives And yes, we swap some epic Disney tales, from launching resorts like Animal Kingdom Lodge to transforming a Disney division into a private company (and surviving 9/11 with a Navy contract!). If you love Disney, storytelling - or just want to coach and consult with more meaning - this episode is a must-listen. Chapters: 01:32 Disney Family Legacy and Its Impact 16:46 From Disney to Entrepreneurship 23:30 The Power of Storytelling 39:14 Engaging Through Anecdotes 43:54 Influencing Through Connection 56:32 Zenovation: Merging Mindfulness and Innovation 01:00:00 Tales of Mouse and Men: Insights from Disney 01:02:20 Building a Collaborative Network Next Steps: Notice where your message stops landing: Pay attention to the moments where you explain what you do, but people still look unsure. That is often a sign that the story is missing, not the expertise. Start with the picture before the process: In your next conversation or proposal, describe what changes when the work is successful before explaining how you get there. Stories help people see themselves in the outcome. Get support clarifying your message: If this episode made you realize you need help communicating the value of what you do, I created a free messaging guide to help.

Over the course of his career, Rick spent 24 years in executive leadership across theme parks and resort hotels, served on the grand opening team for Disneyland Paris, and led the operations design and opening of Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
