What if the most important training you'll ever do happens nowhere near a barbell?Annie Thorisdottir and her co-writer Christine Bald join Patrick to discuss their new book, Iceland Annie: The Evolution of a CrossFit Games Legend — five years in the making and built on a prologue Christine wrote before Annie ever agreed to write it.You'll hear why Annie believes character is trained the same way fitness is: in private, repeatedly, often without immediate reward. And you'll hear Christine on the discipline required to prepare for moments you can't anticipate. Together, they make the case that what most people see on the podium is the smallest part of what it took to get there.

The cases of Jason Arday, Karmelo Anthony, and Linsday Clancy form one magic mirror that shows the state of our souls. We're sympathetic to liars and murderers, not to their victims. The American character is corrupt, and it's long past time we admitted it.

The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman   1 Samuel 18:10-11 (Uncontrolled Rage): Saul's jealousy quickly escalated into murderous anger. While David was playing the lyre to soothe him, Saul was overcome by an evil spirit and his own rage, throwing his spear at David twice in an attempt to pin him to the wall.   Emotional volatility becomes a discipleship excuse instead of a growth area.  "I just felt led" or  "I couldn't help how I reacted"  “We are in Love”.  “She started it”. “It was Tuesday”    The flesh wether in a high or a low is meant to be cultivated by the fruits of the Spirit!    I love what Socrates said “any virtue in and of itself is a danger, it must be balanced with another virtue. i.e. if you are generous but do not balance that with wisdom, you will give all your money away and your family will starve. This is what the fruits of the Spirit do for us when in the midst of great emotion.     (Galatians 5:22-23) — Living by emotion trains a man to treat every strong feeling as a legitimate directive rather than something to bring under Christ's authority (2 Corinthians 10:5).     1 Samuel 22:7-8 (Paranoia and Self-Pity): Gripped by paranoia, Saul accused his own servants of conspiring against him. His emotional outburst was steeped in self-pity as he complained, "Is there no one of you who is sorry for me?"—a delusion that directly led to the slaughter of the priests of Nob.   It destabilizes relationships and leadership. A man who leads his home, church, or business based on how he feels that day becomes unpredictable — and unpredictability erodes trust. Proverbs repeatedly contrasts the "fool" who is ruled by impulse with the wise man who exercises restraint (Proverbs 14:29, 29:11).     What if someone outshines you?    **Here is an example… what if you get asked to leave your church and then it explodes with growth and miracles?        The flesh - what?  The Spirit - Great!  You will respond according to which one you have trained the most under the leading of the Holy Spirit!          Emotions are NOT bad or that Christians should suppress them.  Jesus wept, felt righteous anger, questioned authority, expressed anguish.    ****The danger isn't having emotions — it's letting emotion replace truth as the authority governing belief and action. The healthy target is emotions submitted to and informed by truth, not emotions eliminated or truth stripped of feeling.     Saul's ultimate downfall was not a lack of talent or opportunity; it was a fundamental flaw in his internal compass. Saul lived a life governed by feelings rather than character. Character does what is right regardless of how it feels, whereas emotion demands immediate gratification and acts on impulse. When pressure mounted, Saul allowed fear, impatience, jealousy, and pride to dictate his choices.       To build a life of character rather than emotion:     Surrender your impulses to God's Word: Do what God says even when your feelings resist.   Value obedience over appearance: Do not let the fear of what others think pull you into partial obedience.   Anchor your heart in trial: When panic, jealousy, or insecurity arise, name the emotion, but let God's truth guide your next step.       A well-known psychological metaphor (popularized by Dr. Steven Hayes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) describes appeasing internal pain or anxiety: "If you feed a pet tiger meat to keep it quiet, it only grows larger and 

“Send Coach John a message”I found a combo item here to share with you today.  First comes from a difference-maker Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) where he shared this thought: “Until you find a way to make yourself happy, you'll never have any chance to make others happy.”  It's a fine line to recognize the fact that we need to take care of ourselves throughout life and many times it's not easy to do.  The other part of the “combo meal” was the recent podcast from John O'Leary - where he and his guest Elizabeth Svoboda discuss “The Art of Pacing” and taking time in our lives to be careful of burning out.  Amazing things to think about deeply with the person in our own mirror and to start making plans for finding a few more moments to take care of ourselves a bit more.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

https://teachhoops.com/https://coachingyouthhoops.com/https://heysami.com/ SHOW NOTES Coaching Youth Hoops with Coach Steve Collins and Coach Bill Flitter Another one straight from the Coaching Youth Hoops Facebook group: what is the biggest character lesson you are trying to teach your players this season? The guys take it seriously, because as Coach Collins puts it, the life lessons taught through sports matter more than the sport itself. That only works if somebody connects the dots out loud. This episode is about how to do that on purpose instead of hoping it happens. IN THIS EPISODE 01:34 Sponsor love for Coaching Youth Hoops. If we do not have it, you do not need it, or we will build it. 01:51 The Facebook group is where the topics come from. Search Coaching Youth Hoops under Groups and drop your question in. 02:23 Hey Sami is coming this fall. One tool that pulls all your youth sports into one place and texts you the updates, with nothing to install. Waitlist is open, and there is a version for parents and a version for coaches. 03:25 Today's question from the group, and the first answer that made the guys laugh: ignore the refs and play the game. 03:57 Why Coach Collins coached as long as he did. The life lessons outlast the wins. 04:15 Connect the dots or it does not count. Growth mindset, and learning more from failure than from acceptance. 04:30 The son who did not make the college team, and why that was probably the better outcome. 05:02 The first business that failed, and what came out of it. 05:50 Where sports came from. Learning to win, learning to lose, learning adversity. 06:00 The uncomfortable one: a mediocre coach is a life lesson too. Kids will have difficult teachers and difficult bosses. Walk them through it rather than yanking them out. Abuse is a different conversation entirely. 06:36 Be a family. Win and lose as one. Why the kid who missed the last shot did not lose the game by himself. 06:57 Being on time was never about the clock. It was about responsibility. 07:12 What Japan's teams do to their locker room after a match, and why that image sticks. 07:44 Leave it better than you found it. Pick up the Gatorade bottles, even the ones that were there before you. 08:14 Getting along with people you do not like. Player to player, not just player to coach. You will work with them someday, so learn it now. 09:13 Plan your character lessons the way you plan your drills. Pick three or four you will absolutely pass on this season. 09:58 Then be ready for the ones that show up uninvited, because something always does. 10:26 We skip these because we think there is no time, or we think it is not our place. It is your place. It takes a village. 10:41 Tell the parents up front what you believe in. Nobody has ever pushed back on being kind or leaving a place better than you found it. 11:06 Life lessons are built into the Coaching Youth Hoops practice plans. KEY TAKEAWAYS The lesson does not land unless you name it. Connect the dots for them out loud. Failure teaches more than the outcome they wanted. Say that while it is still fresh. Pick three or four character lessons before the season and coach them on purpose. A hard coach, a tough teammate, or a bad break is training for the rest of their life. Leave it better than you found it. Small habit, enormous carryover. Share your beliefs with parents at the start. Almost nobody argues with kindness and responsibility.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a post from Damon West (@damonwest7) that reminded me about how to get my day going.  He shared this:  “Start your day with one question: how am I going to show up today for myself and for others?  Because your attitude, your effort, and your presence will shape every room you walk into.”  Then spend the day doing your best to be your best for yourself and others.  In all that I have to do, mowing the lawn for example, I need to show up and do my best since I can't do the entire lawn at once - I need to focus in and get the front yard done today and do it the best that I can despite the pain I'm in.  I need to show up and do my best, even when I run an errand that has to get done. Every little thing that we do, it's better when we show up and do our best.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I came across a fabulous reminder that is connected to a legend who just passed away.  Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) shared this quote from Dolly Parton “If you see someone without a smile today, give ‘em yours.”  What a fantastic reminder for us to not only help others, but it's also a simple way for us to help ourselves too.  It's also something that is so simple to do and yet, it has a wonderful result attached to it too.  So many people are carrying worries among other things, that a simple smile can remind them of better things.  The legacy of Dolly Parton is something that is being shared all over the world by so many different people since she passed away recently.  What a legacy she has left for us to help live better lives.

As the Tent Talk Summer Reading Series moves toward its finale, Nancy begins Chapter 3, Have a Mind to Suffer, from Watchman Nee's The Character of God's Workman. With 1 Peter 4:1 as the foundation, Nancy reframes the “mind to suffer” as the mind to endure—an essential aspect of the mind of Christ that must be developed as sons mature. This is not about pursuing suffering, earning the Father's love, or simply gritting our teeth until difficulty passes. It is a freely chosen willingness to continue with the Father through pressure, obstacles, and trials while drawing deeply from His life within. From everyday inconveniences to seasons of profound testing, Nancy challenges listeners to recognize each opportunity to endure as preparation for the days ahead. The question is not simply whether we can survive pressure, but whether the mind of Christ is being formed in us as we walk through it with Him. Thanks for Listening!

Your brain is either getting stronger or getting weaker. There is no neutral, gentlemen. Today Jim Kwik breaks down why comfort, convenience, and cognitive offloading to AI are quietly making men mentally soft, and what it actually takes to build what he calls "cognitive reserve" which is the difference between a man who stays sharp, independent, and capable as he ages and one who doesn't. We get into why peace comes from capacity, not comfort, why self-trust is built by keeping promises to yourself instead of anybody else, and Jim's personal framework for using AI to sharpen your thinking instead of replacing it. If you feel like your focus is slipping, your discipline softening, or your identity too wrapped up in a job title that could be taken from you tomorrow, this episode might be the reset.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Shift from Achievement to Fulfillment 03:51 Avoiding Modern Distractions & Media Outrage 06:00 Developing Mental Sovereignty in the Age of Information 08:20 The Danger of Cognitive Surrender to AI 11:35 Comfort Crisis and the Value of Struggle 14:01 Building Human Intelligence Through Challenge 18:44 How Modern Conveniences Weaken Mental Muscles 21:33 Navigating Difficult Conversations & Growth 25:50 Building Self-Trust by Keeping Promises 28:08 Character, Wealth Transfer, and Raising Resilient Kids 31:00 Understanding Cognitive Reserve and Brain Health 35:21 Cognitive Offloading vs. Building Real Intelligence 37:40 The B.U.I.L.D.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fabulous post from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13), which by the way every post he puts out there is to help others. He's the author of one of my favorite books, “Hurdle-isms - Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball.”  Check Coach out along with his book too!  Two things I found from a recent post of his all dealing with some of his connections to Alcoholics Anonymous. First, he reminds us “by the way, it costs $0 to cheer for others.”  What an amazing and powerful reminder for all of us.  In a world where things seem to be crazier and crazier each and every day (especially in our country due to one person and his out of touch supporters), we all can do something to cheer on others and lift them up!  There was also this quote as part of his post too: “If you think that you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito!”   That one for sure hammers home the point about we are never too small to make a difference for others.  My friends, keep finding things to remind you about the great things you can accomplish for others and that will lead you to doing the same for yourself too!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

What do you do when you know you were made for more, but you do not know what the next step is? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach talk about the deep ache many Christian men feel when they know they are not fully living their purpose. That feeling is not random. It is the eternal calling card of God inside a man, reminding him that he was created for a reason and that his life is meant to matter beyond comfort, survival, or success.This conversation gives men a practical framework for discovering and moving forward in purpose: what is in your heart and what is in your hand. The heart carries desire, dream, calling, and the internal pull toward what God placed inside you. But that dream has to stay on the altar, because even a God-given desire can become corrupted if it becomes more important than Jesus. What is in your hand represents the gifts, abilities, experiences, resources, and opportunities God has already entrusted to you. Many men stay stuck because they are waiting for what they do not have instead of becoming faithful with what they do.Purpose is not found by sitting still and waiting for God to write the whole plan in the sky. It is walked out through faith, discipline, self-mastery, stewardship, and obedience in the current season. Biblical masculinity means holding humility and ambition together: dreaming greatly, but trusting God for promotion; developing your skillsets, but keeping your motive pure; taking action, but staying submitted. If you want everything God has for your life, this episode will challenge you to stop waiting, take inventory, and become fully faithful with the heart and hand He has already given you.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

As the Tent Talk Summer Reading Series moves toward its finale, Nancy begins Chapter 3, Have a Mind to Suffer, from Watchman Nee's The Character of God's Workman. Drawing from 1 Peter 4:1, Nancy reframes the “mind to suffer” as the mind to endure—an essential aspect of the mind of Christ that must be developed in maturing sons. This is not about seeking suffering, earning the Father's love, or simply gritting our teeth through difficulty. It is a freely chosen willingness to continue with the Father when pressure, obstacles, trials, and hardship come. From everyday frustrations to seasons of profound difficulty, each opportunity to endure prepares us for what lies ahead. This episode invites listeners to allow the life and mind of Christ to mature within them so they can endure without bitterness, self-pity, or striving, deeply supplied by the Father as they faithfully follow wherever He leads. Thanks for Listening! I hope that after listening to The Tent Talk Podcast, you'll want to start discussions with your team or small group.

“Send Coach John a message”Finding myself in the mobile studio again for this one, I found this from Mindset Machine (@mindsetmachine) where this idea was shared about Success - “Success happens twice.  First in the mind, then in the grind.  Picture it, work it, own it.”   This helped to remind me that I need to put in a lot more work other than just thinking about the ideas I have.  I need to really put more effort into working for them, which will help me own them too.  Imagine connecting these two ideas about success.

“Send Coach John a message”I was reminded (again), of how important it is to simply be open to wanting to get better. The podcast I was listening to that really got me thinking about this topic was from Jon Gordon's podcast, tilted “Rise To Lead” where he interviews his guest Doug Dentler, a CFO with a company who has written a book about this.  The mindset it takes to simply want to get better is HUGE!  I love the reminders that I heard about even people that have this bigtime title (CFO), need to still find people to help them become better. It's a journey I am on always - and my podcast is something that I hope helps you in your journey to continuing self improvement.  Go out there and find things you connect with in order to keep finding ways to get better.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ The fastest way to change your program is not a new offense. It is the people sitting next to you. In this episode we get into how to choose assistants, what to look for beyond basketball knowledge, and the warning signs that a hire is going to cost you more than it gives you. Hire for character before basketball IQ You can teach a system. You cannot teach loyalty, work ethic, or how somebody treats a kid who is not playing. We talk about what to watch for before you ever ask a basketball question. Do not hire a copy of yourself If you are the fiery one, find somebody steady. If you are the teacher, find somebody who can bring energy. The staff should cover your weaknesses, not stack up on your strengths. The truth teller seat Every staff needs one person who will tell you when you are wrong, in private, without flinching. If nobody on your bench will do that, you are coaching alone. We talk about how to find that person and how to make it safe for them to speak. Defining roles before the season starts Scouting, player development, practice planning, film, communication with parents, academics. Write it down. Confusion about who owns what shows up in February when everybody is tired. Ambition and the guy who wants your job Ambition is not a problem. Hidden ambition is. We talk about how to handle an assistant who wants to be a head coach and why that can be great for your program if you handle it right. Volunteers, parents, and former players Each brings something and each brings a complication. We break down the real tradeoffs, especially when you are hiring a parent of a current player. The bench presence test How does this person act during a bad stretch? Do they add to the noise or steady the room? Watch a candidate at somebody else's game before you decide. Letting an assistant go Nobody wants this conversation. We talk about doing it honestly and early instead of dragging a bad fit through a whole season. Character and reliability outrank basketball knowledge every time. Build a staff that complements you instead of echoing you. Protect the person who is willing to disagree with you. Put roles in writing before the first practice. Support an assistant's ambition openly and they will give you everything they have. A bad fit does not get better by waiting. Write down the three biggest weaknesses in how you run your program. Now look at your current staff and ask which of those three is actually covered. Whatever is left uncovered is your next hire.

In our penultimate episode on Romulus, we look at Rain but also ponder what next could be done in the series.

ESG investing promises to align your portfolio with your values. But an important question remains: Whose values are shaping the standards? Environmental, social, and governance ratings are often presented as measures of corporate responsibility. Yet the assumptions behind those ratings may not always align with biblical convictions. Nick Schmitz, Professor of Finance at The Catholic University of America and a Board Member of the Christian Investing Council (CIC), joined the show today to explain the differences between ESG and faith-based investing—and why Christians should pay attention not only to what they own, but also to how their shares are voted. ESG and Faith-Based Investing Start in Different Places ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG ratings attempt to evaluate companies based on their performance in each of those areas. But Schmitz points out that ESG standards are developed by secular ratings agencies and can shift with cultural and political trends. Faith-based investing starts somewhere different: with convictions rooted in biblical truth. That distinction matters because a company may receive strong ESG ratings while supporting practices that conflict with a Christian investor's beliefs about issues such as the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, family, or human dignity. There may certainly be areas of overlap. Christians care about justice, responsible stewardship, fair treatment of employees, and care for creation. But agreement on certain issues does not mean the underlying moral frameworks are the same. Faith-based investing asks a deeper question: Does the way this company operates—and the way my ownership stake is used—reflect the convictions I am seeking to live by? Your Shares Come With a Voice One area investors may overlook is proxy voting. Owning shares in a publicly traded company generally gives investors the opportunity to vote on certain corporate matters. But individual investors rarely cast those votes themselves. Instead, asset managers often rely on large proxy advisory firms to provide recommendations or process votes on their behalf. That means Christians may unknowingly own investments whose shares are being voted in ways that conflict with their beliefs. Schmitz offered an example involving shareholder proposals related to Google and crisis pregnancy centers. Some proposals sought changes in how those organizations appeared in search results and were characterized positively within ESG-oriented frameworks. Faith-based investors, however, could reach a very different conclusion because of their convictions regarding the unborn and the work of pro-life ministries. For Christian investors, then, screening a portfolio may be only part of the stewardship equation. How shares are voted can matter too. Moving Beyond Passive Ownership Schmitz has been involved in developing proxy-voting policies designed to better reflect Catholic investment principles. The effort grew from concern that existing guidelines did not always reflect the convictions they claimed to represent. The broader lesson applies to Christian investors of many traditions: we do not necessarily have to outsource our influence without asking questions. Faith-based investing can involve both screening and engagement. Screening considers whether a company's products, services, or practices conflict with an investor's convictions. Engagement asks whether shareholders can encourage companies toward practices that better promote human flourishing. That makes faith-based investing more than a list of companies or industries to avoid. Shareholders can also use their ownership to advocate for positive change. Christians Can Care About Creation Without Agreeing on Every Policy The “E” in ESG stands for environmental, which sometimes creates the impression that faith-based investors give little attention to environmental stewardship. Schmitz argues that this does not have to be the case. Christians may disagree about exactly how environmental concerns should be addressed, but waste, pollution, and responsible care for creation are legitimate stewardship concerns. Investors can support companies working to reduce genuine environmental harm while also considering the economic consequences of particular policies, especially for workers and lower-income communities. The difference is that Christians can recognize room for prudential disagreement. Biblical stewardship gives us principles to guide our thinking, but believers may reach different conclusions about the best policies or business practices to address a particular environmental concern. That calls for humility, wisdom, and careful discernment rather than assuming every issue has a one-size-fits-all solution. Look for Managers With “Skin in the Game” Schmitz also encouraged investors to consider whether the people managing their money have what author Nassim Nicholas Taleb famously called “skin in the game.” When Schmitz worked as a fund manager, for example, he invested his own capital alongside the investors whose money he managed. That kind of alignment can matter. A manager who shares both the potential rewards and the downside risk has an added incentive to exercise discipline and think long-term. For Christian investors, alignment can go even deeper. Do the people managing your investments understand your convictions? Do their investment policies reflect them? Are they transparent about how companies are screened, how proxies are voted, and how shareholder engagement is conducted? Christian investors should not assume that an investment is biblically aligned simply because it carries a faith-related label. Transparency matters. Common Misconceptions About Faith-Based Investing Schmitz highlighted several misconceptions investors should reconsider. First, ESG is not morally neutral. Like every investment framework, it rests on assumptions about what is good, responsible, and worth promoting. Second, faith-based investing is not merely negative screening. Christian investors can encourage good corporate behavior through shareholder engagement, proxy voting, and collaboration with other investors. Third, bringing Christian convictions into investing is not an inappropriate intrusion of faith into an otherwise neutral marketplace. Every investor brings values into financial decisions in some form. Christians should not feel compelled to leave deeply held beliefs outside the investment process. Finally, individual investors are not necessarily powerless. Shareholders can work together, support resolutions, engage company leadership, and influence how large asset managers vote. The question is whether Christians will use that influence intentionally. Questions to Ask About Your Investments If you want to know whether your investments reflect your convictions, start by asking questions. If you work with a financial advisor or investment manager, ask how your investments are screened and how proxy votes are handled. If most of your retirement savings are held through an employer-sponsored plan, ask your plan provider what proxy-voting policies apply to the funds you own. You can also examine Christian mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that publicly disclose their screening standards, voting policies, and shareholder-engagement practices. The goal is not perfection. Investing in a complex economy will always require wisdom and discernment. But greater transparency can help investors make more informed stewardship decisions. Keep Your Investment Horizon Eternal Schmitz closed with advice he regularly shares with young people entering finance: Character matters more than credentials. Work ethic, courage, and integrity can open doors over the course of a career, but ambition must remain submitted to something greater than personal achievement. For the Christian, that means keeping Christ at the center. Financial markets reward investors who are willing to think beyond the next quarter or the next headline. Christians have an even longer horizon. We make financial decisions knowing that earthly returns are temporary and faithfulness to Christ has eternal significance. That perspective changes the way we think about investing. We are not merely asking, “What return can this investment produce?” We are also asking, “What am I supporting with the resources God has entrusted to me?” Faith-based investing is ultimately another opportunity to practice faithful stewardship—seeking to align our financial decisions with our convictions while remembering that our ultimate treasure is not found in any portfolio, but in Christ. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm an elementary teacher looking to supplement my income, and I recently earned my life and health insurance license. A friend invited me to join WFG. Is that a good option for part-time work, or are there better ways to use the license? I opened a savings account after receiving a promotion offering a cash bonus if I deposited funds and left them there for 90 days. I met those requirements, but now the bank says I failed to enroll in the promotion, even though the invitation didn't mention that step. What should I do to dispute this?

“Send Coach John a message”I found another gem from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he reminds us about this clip he shared from (@itsjusttrey) -  “Remember where you came from.

“Send Coach John a message”Another fired up post that I found and it reminds me of so many things. It comes from  Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and the simple message is:  “Be someone who still tries.” The details of the post are here:  “Be someone who still tries.  After failure, frustrations, and heartache - be a person who musters up the courage to try and believe that good things are yet to come.”   A big part of this is realizing every single human has failures, frustrations and heartache!  It's up to us to choose what we will do with those things.  Just like yesterday's message, this one too reminds us to keep going and to keep caring!!  I had a great conversation with my good friend Joe D. (former boss) - and one of the things we spoke about was the old saying, “do not grow weary doing good.”   Joe gave me a copy of “The 10 Commandments of Leadership” from Dr. Kent M. Keith, and one of them as this: #2 “If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.  Do good anyway.”  Keep trying my friends! I know I need to keep it up too!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Cartoonist Fran Sundblad, creator of Tiff & Eve, joins Brad for a wide-ranging conversation about creating character-driven comics, finding an audience on Reddit, and learning when not to chase the algorithm. Fran traces Tiff & Eve from its beginnings in her sketchbook to a comic that regularly reaches thousands of readers. She explains how Tiff and Eve represent two very different impulses — Tiff as the superego and Eve as the id — and shares a terrific character-development exercise: Lock your character in a room and ask what they do next. If you don't know the answer, you probably don't know the character well enough yet. Fran and Brad also talk about finding humor in the characters themselves rather than building every strip around a traditional punchline. That approach has helped Tiff & Eve explore Fran's experiences as a trans woman while remaining first and foremost a funny comic about two friends. In this episode: How Tiff & Eve grew out of Fran's sketchbook Writing two characters as opposing parts of your own personality Fran's “locked room” test for determining whether a character is fully developed Character-driven humor vs. setup/punchline comedy Using comedy to make personal experiences relatable What happens when readers interpret your comics differently than you intended Why Fran refuses to explain a joke Surviving hostile comments, Reddit Cares abuse, and the stranger side of online audiences Why cartoonists should post comics to their Reddit profile, not only to individual subreddits Learning the culture of each subreddit instead of treating Reddit as one giant audience Formatting comics differently for different communities — including designing images so Reddit's mobile crop doesn't hide important information Why fewer clicks usually means more readers The danger of chasing trends, politics, and viral Reddit “meta” events simply for upvotes Why a huge viral hit may produce surprisingly few new followers or Patreon supporters Why effort and artistic complexity don't necessarily translate into social-media success The value of clarity, brevity, and consistency on Reddit Knowing when a topical comic is nevertheless necessary because it's true to the characters Sunday Comix, a webcomic collective and email newsletter designed to help cartoonists reach readers without depending entirely on social-media algorithms Fran's experience offers an especially useful reminder for cartoonists trying to build an audience online: don't confuse attention with audience growth. A trendy comic might earn tens of thousands of upvotes, but the work that builds a lasting readership is the work that gives people a reason to come back for your characters.

This one's real, raw, and honest — the kind of conversation you'll want to relisten to with a notebook. Dana sits down with Amanda Goetz — two-time founder, four-time CMO, divorced mom of three, and author of the debut book Toxic Grit: How to Have It All and Actually Love What You Have — to talk about the mindset work, the boundaries, and the money story she had to consciously rewrite to stop feeling so disconnected from herself. They get into subconscious mindset work, why "having it all" was never actually the problem, why Amanda doesn't want her kids around on her birthday, and the "character theory" framework at the heart of her book — the idea that you're not one person trying to find balance, you're several people who each need their turn. Heads up: there are a couple of juicy words in this one, so headphones on if you've got little ones nearby. You'll hear: The lemon exercise that shows exactly how your brain builds the future you keep rehearsing The piece of paper Amanda burned that changed her relationship — a few weeks later Why the word "you" was the real problem in "you can't have it all" Character theory: how to stop trying to align every version of yourself and start giving each one hierarchy instead The "transition sequences" that help you actually switch between your CEO self, your mom self, and everyone in between Why wanting a birthday or a Mother's Day without your kids doesn't make you a bad mom The generational money scripts both Dana and Amanda had to unlearn This is for any mom who's doing all the things and still feels a little disconnected from herself underneath it.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character. Relationships matter.” “That success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens with care.” Overall Impact of the Interview This interview serves as a masterclass on creative longevity and wealth-building without celebrity dependency.

Marlon and Jake explore the power of setting in novels—and why the best stories feel like they couldn't have happened anywhere else. They discuss settings that become characters in their own right, fictional worlds they'd love (or absolutely hate) to inhabit, and books that made unexpected places fascinating. Plus: why a modern-day Captain Nemo might just be a tech bro.
