It was another wild weekend in ministry. Tim had a 10 a.m. wedding followed by a brunch reception, because nothing says “I do” like French toast and mimosas before noon. Frank hosted the very first launch meeting for Cross & Crown, and yes, both Andrew and Tim were there to cheer him on (and to eat the snacks, obviously).Meanwhile, Andrew's family got stuck in a classic Disney downpour, proving once again that “magical” and “miserable” can coexist in Central Florida. And in true preacher fashion, both Andrew and Tim preached longer than they were supposed to, because when the Spirit moves, clocks stop.It's Episode 307 of The Morning After Ministry Show, where we love Jesus, our churches, and a good brunch wedding.

In this episode of Dollars & Sense with Joel Garris, listeners are treated to an insider's perspective from a prestigious investment conference attended by just 100 select guests and hosted by one of the world's largest asset managers. Joel kicks off with a deep dive into the hottest topic in finance—Artificial Intelligence (AI). He explores AI's growing influence on investments, the labor market, and society, highlighting both its potential and the cautionary flags, such as possible overcapacity and the challenges it poses for younger generations. Joel then shifts focus to three major investment themes: the importance of national security in shaping investment decisions, the surge of private equity and private credit for everyday investors, and the need for careful portfolio allocation to avoid hidden overconcentration in growth stocks. Next, Joel breaks down everything you need to know about Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)—from recent changes in age requirements to smart strategies for minimizing tax impact, including withholding and charitable giving. Whether you're nearing retirement or already enjoying it, this segment offers actionable advice to keep your finances on track. The episode also features a practical guide to Ladybird Deeds—an estate planning tool that helps homeowners transfer property to loved ones without the hassle of probate. Joel explains how Ladybird Deeds work, their advantages over traditional probate, and step-by-step instructions to implement this powerful tool. Rounding out the show, Joel reviews the latest market headlines, including a strong start to earnings season and how AI-driven efficiencies are helping corporate America outperform expectations. If you want to learn how AI is reshaping investments, the keys to managing your retirement withdrawals, and estate planning strategies that save time and money, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

On this episode of **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, hosts **Remy** and **Mike** return to the mic to bring you another entertaining and news-packed conversation straight from the heart of Florida's theme park scene.The episode kicks off with Remy recounting his most recent adventure at **Disney's Hollywood Studios**, where he spent the day exploring attractions with a close friend. The day was filled with laughter, great memories, and perhaps a few too many drinks under the blazing Florida sun. Things took an unexpected turn during the **1:15 p.m. showing of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular**, where the combination of heat, excitement, and cocktails proved to be a little too much for Remy — resulting in a rather unforgettable (and slightly embarrassing) moment. It's a story you don't want to miss, and one that perfectly captures the unpredictable magic of a theme park day in Florida.From there, the conversation shifts into a fun seasonal topic as Remy dives into the world of **Halloween candy trends**. He discusses which sweet treats trick-or-treaters are craving most this year and how some of the most popular options are surprisingly pricey. The discussion turns into a nostalgic trip down memory lane, as both hosts reminisce about their favorite childhood candies and share how Halloween in Florida hits differently when palm trees instead of pumpkins surround you.Next, the Roundtable brings listeners **The Latest Theme Park Updates**, filled with fresh headlines and major changes happening around Central Florida. Over at **Orlando International Airport**, big transformations are underway — the existing Terminals A, B, and C will be rebranded as Terminals 1, 2, and 3 as part of a decade-long modernization project. This plan also includes new technology upgrades, additional parking, and even a hotel on the property to enhance the traveler experience for millions of guests each year.The discussion continues with updates from the world of Disney. The Disability Access Service (DAS) program is once again making headlines with its updated requirements, sparking a lot of conversation among parkgoers. The team breaks down what these changes mean for guests and how they could affect the guest experience moving forward. In addition, **Disney Annual Passholders** have something new to smile about — renewed **discount offers** that become available after a pass expires, giving fans another reason to keep the magic going all year long.For this week's **Ride of the Week**, Remy takes listeners on a nostalgic trip back in time to celebrate **Back to the Future Day** (October 21st). He revisits the groundbreaking **Back to the Future: The Ride** attraction that once thrilled guests at Universal Studios Florida. Remy shares fascinating behind-the-scenes details about the attraction's development, including its impressive cost, making it one of the most expensive and ambitious rides ever built in the 1990s. He explores how the ride revolutionized motion-simulator technology and why it remains a cherished part of Universal's legacy today.To wrap things up, **Mike's Munchies** takes the show to a galaxy far, far away — straight to **Oga's Cantina** in **Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge** at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Mike gives Remy the full Batuu experience, sampling exotic drinks like the Fuzzy Tauntaun and Bespin Fizz while soaking in the immersive theming of the famous cantina. Together, they discuss the food, the ambiance, and what makes Oga's one of the most talked-about destinations for both casual guests and hardcore Star Wars fans.So grab your favorite drink, power up your flux capacitor, and tune in as **Remy and Mike** bring you another round of laughter, nostalgia, and insider updates on this jam-packed episode of **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast** — your gateway to all things Florida theme parks!https://linktr.ee/remysroundtable

The October All In For Citrus podcast features citrus under protective screen (CUPS). Over the past decade, the practice has grown in popularity due to its ability to exclude the Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing (HLB) disease. Roughly 1,500 acres of citrus are grown under screen in Florida with more acreage under development.   Lauren Diepenbrock, associate professor of entomology at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center (CREC), addresses pest management in CUPS. While CUPS successfully keeps out the psyllid, other pests are small enough to breach the mesh netting. Those pests include chilli thrips, lebbeck mealybug and mites. Diepenbrock discusses her research on how these pests enter, survive and multiply in CUPS and the latest knowledge on managing the pests. She also provides information on strategies like introducing beneficial insects in the structures to manage the pests. Megan Dewdney, UF/IFAS associate professor of plant pathology at the CREC, joins the discussion to talk about disease management in CUPS. She says greasy spot and citrus canker have been the most problematic diseases in the system. Jerry Mixon, a CUPS grower in Central Florida, shares why he tried the CUPS approach and what his experience has been like so far. Mixon says he was impressed with the yields and very high-quality fruit CUPS can produce. He also had experience building similar structures (to exclude birds) when he and his family grew blueberries. Mixon mostly grows grapefruit in his CUPS but is evaluating other varieties in collaboration with UF/IFAS. He has also worked with Diepenbrock and Dewdney on pest and disease trials in his structures.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf speaks with Kevin Hipes—entrepreneur, Central Florida real estate developer, former elected official, church elder, musician, and author of Book of Me. Kevin traces an undiagnosed decades-long cycle of highs and deep depressions, a midlife collapse, and the pragmatic steps that steadied his life: professional diagnosis, medication under supervision, workload reduction, and structured re-entry to work. He explains why he later (with his doctor) adjusted meds to regain mental sharpness without triggering depressive episodes, and how faith, family accountability, and service to others keep his drive from tipping into mania or burnout. Straight talk on suicidal ideation, returning to work after time off, and using creativity (YouTube storytelling, a memoir, music) as regulated outlets. Clear, useful, and no fluff—this conversation focuses on what actually helps.   About the Guest  : Kevin Hipes is a business leader and storyteller based in Central Florida. He has managed large retail portfolios, served in public office, fronts the YouTube channel Planet Hipes, released legacy tracks with his band The End on Spotify, and wrote the memoir Book of Me about entrepreneurship, bipolar disorder, faith, and starting over at 60.   Key Takeaways: Get a clinical diagnosis early; don't white-knuckle recurring depressions. Work with a psychiatrist and follow medical guidance. Medication is a tool: never start/stop or adjust without a doctor. If side effects blunt performance, discuss supervised adjustments. Reduce overload during recovery: pare roles, step back from public duties, and rebuild capacity in stages with your family looped in. Relapse prevention: even when stable, keep treatment, sleep, and routines tight; don't “feel fine” your way off meds. Return-to-work script: you don't owe your full story—share what's necessary, then execute. Confidence rebuilds through action. Purpose controls intensity: faith, service, and accountability partners can channel high energy into consistent, non-destructive output. Tell your story (writing/video) to integrate experience, reduce shame, and help others. Reframe identity: a condition can be part of your edge when it's treated, monitored, and supported.   If you're in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or your regional suicide prevention helpline.

What you pick says more than you think—about comfort, options, and how you handle the unknown. We kick off with a playful debate that turns into a surprisingly revealing look at choice and survival, then dive straight into a stack of unfiltered fan mail where Marcus shares raw thoughts on heartbreak, boundaries, and the daily work of men's mental health. It's candid, messy, and real in the best way.We shift from laughter to a heavy moment as we talk about leaving a church service that elevated politics over shared grief. That conversation sits alongside a heartfelt tribute to D'Angelo—his impact, his catalog, and a sober correction to the chorus of “just get checked” when certain cancers offer few reliable screenings. We push for compassion over performative advice, and for communities that honor every life with equal weight.Then it's off to weekend vibes: a Winghouse detour where a live dodgeball tournament steals the night, rec sports nostalgia, and the chaotic charm of the Savannah Bananas' rule-bending baseball. We cap it with college football shakeups, sharp betting lines, and a live parlay that could either cash or crash by Monday—plus a quick lap through Central Florida high school scores. The blend is the point: culture, grief, joy, faith, and sports living side by side without whiplash, just honest conversation and a lot of laughs.If you want clear takes, real stories, and the kind of friendship that makes space for both grief and jokes, you're in the right place.

Interview Date: March 30th, 2025Episode Summary:Florida-based trademark and contract attorney Kayla Moran joins the Business of Dance to bridge two worlds: the discipline of competitive dance and the realities of creator-economy law. Raised in Miami in a Cuban-Ecuadorian family and trained for 15+ years across ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical and hip-hop, Kayla shares how a teacher's challenge—“Don't be a space filler”—became a life mantra through law school and into entrepreneurship.Kayla unpacks the gap art schools and law schools share: they rarely teach the business side. She now runs a firm for creators, dancers and influencers, translating intimidating agreements into clear decisions and helping artists protect their brands with smart contracts and trademarks. We dig into networking that actually works (contacts → contracts), negotiating terms without getting steamrolled, building authentic personal brands, and running yourself like a business (LLCs, taxes, separate accounts).In the live Q&A, Kayla advises teens balancing medicine vs. dance, acting dreams vs. financial stability, and when to hire managers, agents or lawyers. She's blunt (in the best way) about deadlines that “aren't real,” why every contract is negotiable, and how to document your journey without oversharing.Listen if you're: a dancer, parent, studio owner, or creator who wants to turn passion into sustainable income—without giving away your rights.Shownotes:(0:00) – Intro: Meet Kayla Moran, dancer-turned-attorney.(4:35) – Dance beginnings, magnet school, discipline from pointe.(11:22) – Injuries, teacher's advice: “Don't be a space filler.”(18:40) – Law school, burnout, turning to blogging.(32:41) – Contacts = contracts: power of relationships.(38:51) – Negotiation lessons & humanizing business deals.(39:19) – Creator law: brand deals, contracts, red flags.(46:13) – Treating yourself as a business (LLCs, taxes).(55:26)– When to hire an agent, manager, or lawyer.(1:19:39 ) – Every contract is negotiable—never sign first draftBiography:Kayla Moran is a Florida-based trademark and contract attorney for creators and entrepreneurs in the creator economy. Born and raised in Miami to a Cuban-Ecuadorian family, Spanish is her first language, and growing up she was a competitive dancer for 15+ years, now you can probably catch her reading a romance novel or salsa dancing on the weekends if she's not at the beach. She loves to watch action thrillers, military movies or historical fiction shows on Netflix or sports (usually no in between). Kayla hosts her own podcast, The Let's Get Candid Podcast where she strives to connect with and inspire young women to be the best version of themselves and find what drives them, and has been a featured guest on numerous other podcasts. She attended the University of Central Florida where she was a Kappa Delta, participated in Knight-Thon for four years, and interned for Senator Rubio before she set off for law school. In 2022, she earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Tennessee College of Law, where she was a member of the now Transactional Clinic after passing the Florida Bar, she returned to Miami where she was a personal injury attorney for a year before opening her own firm.When she set out to become a lawyer, her goal was to be in-house counsel for a lifestyle company but during law school she discovered could combine her interests and create a career on her terms. She blogged about her law school experience and it was through blogging that she discovered being an influencer combining her passion for social media and legal training. Now she gets to help influencers promote brands they believe in as a lawyer and entrepreneurs legally protect the brands they have built.She is always open to connecting, please find her on Instagram and on LinkedIn.Connect on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/kaylaaamorannWebsite- Kaylamoranlaw.com

In [a difficult] season, [my husband and I] needed to lean on each other and on God and get through it, and we realized we actually needed to let people in.” - Jenny Marrs "[God] works through us; He works through our inadequacies, and often when we don't want to do it, He can—even if we think there's no way." - Jenny Marrs "Identifying and spotting God's hand in all of it–the mundane, the hard, the beautiful, the mountain tops—all of those different experiences—we can spot His hand in that." - Jenny Marrs "I want my kids to be able to look back at the faithfulness of God in their lives that they didn't even know about before they were born and have that moving forward." - Jenny Marrs “I was introduced at an early age to both sides of the tracks—seeing Waylon with the security guards and the Cadillac and the Jaguar and the big house and [being a] successful country music icon. And then going back to my dad’s side of the family that lived in West Nashville who worked nine to fives and lived right at that poverty line.” - Struggle Jennings “I was caught up in that world—gangs and drugs and a lot of the beliefs like, Feed your family by any means necessary. It’s okay to do wrong if you’re doing it for the right reason—those types of things that I had to eventually strip myself of.” - Struggle Jennings “Many times God showed His face and showed His favor, even though I didn’t know why, because I didn’t understand what my purpose was.” - Struggle Jennings “I knew that I finally had to strip down and take full responsibility and accountability and say, ‘This is my fault. I can’t blame the judge. I can’t blame the person that snitched on me. I can’t blame my circumstances or the cards I was dealt. I have the opportunity to turn this around.’” - Struggle Jennings “I just really felt that God had a plan for me, and I wasn’t going to take it for granted.” - Struggle Jennings “Even the times that I had doubts, it was the responsibility to God and to my fans and to my children [that kept me going]. When you’re purpose-driven and you have a reason for getting up every day and you know you’re living in God’s glory and God’s mercy, you have that strength and that confidence that I’ve made it through a lot of things and I don’t know what’s ahead of me, but I know that if I keep moving in the right direction with love in my heart and God in my heart, it’s going to work out okay. God gives His greatest warriors the toughest battles.” - Struggle Jennings ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Ryan Hopkins has spent the last 15 years of his life exploring everything fitness and weightlifting related and, with the launch of SoHo Strength Lab in 2013, transitioned into the gym ownership aspect of the fitness world. Ryan began his deep dive into health and fitness as an Athletic Training major at the University of Central Florida, but his most significant learning was done outside of the classroom. Ryan separates himself from many fitness professionals because of his exposure to and comprehension of a wide variety of training methods and modalities. Ryan is constantly educating himself, applying what he learns in his training to “experience the individualities and peculiarities of each approach for every situation and circumstance.”      https://theperformanceparadigm.com/  https://www.instagram.com/sslryan/   Check Out My Game Speed Course and Programs at www.multidirectionalpower.com

This movement encourages open conversations about mental health, equips parents and educators with actionable tools, and empowers kids to step into leadership roles as advocates for themselves and their peers. Together, Allison and Jessica discuss:The rising pediatric mental health crisis and the importance of early action. How Be a Mindleader is reducing stigma and creating safe spaces for conversations at home, in schools, and across communities. The importance of community collaboration in making resources accessible for families. The growth of the Mindleader Ambassador Program and why peer leadership is so powerful. Expanding support through multilingual resources and grassroots partnerships across Central Florida. Listeners will also hear about real success stories, such as how AdventHealth's embedded mental health counselors in primary care practices are helping families uncover the root causes of children's struggles—including bullying and anxiety—and connecting them with the right support. This episode delivers inspiration, practical resources, and a reminder that one conversation can change, or even save, a life.Memorable MomentsOn starting the movement: “This idea to have a stigma reduction campaign—or destigmatization campaign—which is what the Be a Mindleader movement is, really bubbled up… If you can have conversations when things are not in crisis, when they're maybe littler feelings, then that allows you to have those bigger conversations later when the feelings are bigger and the stakes are higher.” On pandemic lessons: “The pandemic really shone a light on the impact to not only adults and mental health, but kids and mental health and well-being… that kind of was a spark to really get the attention of people that needed to be paying attention, including the healthcare world, but also donors, people in the community.” On community reach: “This is the first time in AdventHealth history where we have had a campaign in three different languages out in our community, and really targeted and meant to support the community.” On everyday parenting: “Car rides are a great time for us to connect with our kids. All of a sudden, they start opening up… And so it's really just being intentional about providing that time, providing that space.” On empowering youth: “Being a part of the ambassador program, it allows a kiddo to say, ‘I am a Mindleader'… And kids are so excited to do this work.” About Jessica GaloJessica Galo serves as the Director of Specialty Care at AdventHealth for Children, where she has spent more than 16 years leading efforts to support children with complex healthcare needs and their families.
