This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome my friend Alexandra Hoover, author of the brand-new book You Can Let Go: Make Peace with Your Past, Break Free from Offense, and Move Forward with God, released in October.Alex and I dive deep into her powerful story — from a childhood marked by trauma and instability to an encounter with Jesus at age 18 that completely changed the trajectory of her life. Today, she is a wife, mom of three, author, teacher, and a woman passionate about helping others walk in healing, identity, and freedom.Her book cuts to the heart of something every single one of us wrestles with: offense, the ways it shapes us, hides in us, and tries to lead our lives until we finally let God address the roots.This conversation is rich, honest, layered, and so needed — especially for women who are tired of carrying wounds they never asked for and stories they didn't choose.

The salient point of our discussion centers on the nuanced dichotomy within the furniture market, where a reported year-over-year sales increase of 4.9% in October belies a troubling decline in actual transaction volume, which fell by 6.1%. This phenomenon indicates that the growth is largely attributable to escalated prices rather than an uptick in consumer purchasing activity, a situation exacerbated by tariff impositions and inflationary pressures that weigh heavily on the industry. We also delve into notable corporate developments, such as J and K Home Furnishings' strategic acquisition of Infinger Furniture, which not only signifies market expansion but also emphasizes a commitment to sustainability through substantial renovations aimed at achieving a 93% eco-friendly operation. Furthermore, we examine the evolving landscape of supply chain dynamics, particularly the significant reductions in global container freight rates, juxtaposed against rising costs on transcontinental routes. Lastly, we address pressing consumer safety issues arising from recalls in the sector, underscoring the imperative for manufacturers to adhere rigorously to safety standards to protect vulnerable populations, particularly children.The intricate landscape of the furniture industry is currently experiencing a confluence of growth and challenge, as evidenced by the latest data released by Fiserv. The reported 4.9% increase in sales at furniture stores for October paints a picture of burgeoning market vitality. However, a more granular examination reveals a disconcerting 6.1% decline in actual transaction volumes, indicating that the sales surge is not a result of increased consumer activity, but rather a consequence of elevated prices driven by ongoing tariffs and inflationary pressures. This dichotomy prompts a critical reflection on the sustainability of such growth amidst a backdrop of economic uncertainty, highlighting the need for industry stakeholders to recalibrate their strategies in response to these evolving market dynamics.In a significant corporate development, J and K Home Furnishings has strategically acquired Infinger Furniture, a well-established retailer in South Carolina, thereby expanding its market presence into the Charleston area. This acquisition is not merely a transactional event; it represents a broader strategic initiative aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies and embracing sustainability within the retail framework. J and K's ambitious plans for a comprehensive remodel of the Infinger location, including the installation of solar panels and a commitment to achieving a 93% green certification, exemplify a forward-thinking approach that aligns with contemporary consumer values surrounding environmental responsibility. Furthermore, the establishment of a local warehouse is poised to streamline logistics and improve service delivery, thereby positioning the company favorably within a competitive marketplace.As the discussion progresses to supply chain dynamics, the podcast elucidates the recent downward trend in global container freight rates, particularly a notable 15% drop for shipments from Shanghai to New York. This decline can be largely attributed to the completion of pre-holiday import activities by U.S. retailers, resulting in diminished demand for container space. In stark contrast, rising shipping costs on Asia-Europe routes signal the complexities and variances inherent in global logistics. Such fluctuations necessitate agility and foresight from retailers as they navigate the evolving landscape of supply chain management. The podcast also brings to light critical consumer safety concerns, particularly regarding the significant recalls of non-compliant clothing storage units, which underscores the imperative for manufacturers to adhere to safety regulations. The convergence of these themes ultimately reinforces the necessity for industry vigilance and adaptability in...

Whether you're a brand-new agent still waiting on your first commission check or a seasoned agent trying to jumpstart a slow season, the real question is the same: where do you find a deal?  In real estate, there's no shortage of strategies: calling expireds, launching Facebook ads, working your sphere, and hosting open houses, but not all strategies are created equal, especially when you're just starting out.  Some methods build momentum fast, others require more skill, time, or confidence than most new agents have on day one. The goal isn't just to get a transaction, it's to get that first win that proves you belong in this business.  What are some of the easiest ways to generate a deal in 60-90 days? What lead gen methods should new agents avoid until they have more experience?  In this episode, we unpack the best ways to get early traction, from tapping into buyer leads and old contacts in your brokerage's database to simple text scripts that turn conversations into contracts.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Your sphere isn't exhausted; it's untapped Most agents don't fail because people don't trust them; they fail because they never actually reach out. What would happen if you texted every single contact in your phone this week? Old leads are hidden gold That “cold” or “dead” lead in the CRM might be someone else's future closing. What deals could you unlock if you spent just three hours a day calling your database? Buyers build momentum faster than listings If you're trying to get paid sooner rather than later, working buyer leads can be the quickest way to a paycheck. Why are so many agents resisting the easiest deals to close? Avoid the toughest game too early Expireds are powerful, but not for beginners. What traps do agents fall into when they jump into advanced lead types before building confidence?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

This week, we're looking through our history to ground ourselves in a turbulent present. Tune in for our discussion of Septima Poinsette Clark, the Charleston-born educator and activist Martin Luther King Jr. once called “the mother of the movement.” Her story bridges the segregated classrooms of the early 20th century and the civil rights movement's front lines. Through the establishment of hundreds of citizenship schools across the U.S., she helped thousands of Black Americans gain the literacy skills necessary to vote, transforming communities. We also consider her complex legacy as a woman who challenged not only racism but also sexism within social movements that she helped to shape.02:24 Septima Poinsette Clark: Family History & Educational Empowerment06:00 Teaching in segregated South Carolina and the fight for equal pay09:00 Adult Literacy & Citizenship12:20 Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests, and the Politics of Reconstruction14:00 Workshops at the Highlander Folk School16:00 Citizenship Schools and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference21:40 Septima Poinsette's Civil Rights Activism: Legacy and LessonsFor a full list of episode sources and resources, visit our website.

It began as a simple warning — one friend reminding another to fix her fire alarm and keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. But a month later, that warning became prophecy. In this chilling true ghost story from Charleston, South Carolina, two best friends reconnected after the holidays. One found a dead bat in her sink — an omen she laughed off. The other borrowed her only gray hoodie, promising to return it soon. Days later, tragedy struck. Around 4 a.m. on New Year's Eve, a fire tore through that same historic home, starting in the kitchen — just as her friend had warned. The smoke detectors weren't hooked up. By dawn, the house was gone, and so was her friend. But the story didn't end there. Moments after hearing the news, she had a vivid vision — smoke, her friend's body, the sound of barking dogs — every detail later confirmed by firefighters. Then, a week later, her friend's singed cat returned, refusing capture until she spoke her late friend's name aloud. The cat calmly walked into the carrier. Was it coincidence… or a connection that refused to die? #TrueGhostStory #Premonition #HauntedCharleston #ParanormalEncounter #IntuitionOrGift #RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedHouse #SupernaturalExperience #GhostlyConnection #ParanormalFire Love real ghost stories?

The residents of early Charleston lived cheek-by-jowl with the animals they consumed, and routinely witnessed cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats trotting through urban streets to meet the butcher's blade. Efforts to push this bloody business out of the city center commenced in the late 1690s and evolved over the following century, during which local officials gradually pushed the slaughtering trade northward to a tidewater suburb that became known as Butcher Town.

When real estate agents struggle, the first thing they do is blame the market: the interest rates, the inventory, the leads. But the truth is, that's not why agents are failing. The truth is simpler and more uncomfortable. Most agents fail because they overcomplicate what actually works. They treat real estate like a hobby, showing up when they feel like it and wondering why their results are unpredictable. They think they are following up and nurturing leads, when all they are doing is notifying people.  What does it take to win in a slow market? How do you align your habits with the success you want?  In this episode, we break down the hard truths about why agents fail, and what separates those who last from those who leave.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Overcomplication kills performance Agents often add layers of busywork to justify their commissions. What would happen if you focused only on the actions that directly lead to appointments? Treat it like a business, not a hobby Most agents have no real plan or structure. How does your day change when you start thinking like an entrepreneur instead of an employee? Structure beats hustle Working “24/7” isn't a badge of honor; it's a lack of boundaries. How does consistency in your schedule create both results and freedom? Conversations = closings There's still a direct correlation between the people you talk to and the deals you close. How would your year look if you built your day around that one rule?   About Your Hosts   Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive deep into how cultural differences shape the United States—past and present. Drawing from Geert Hofstede's groundbreaking IBM studies, I explore how nations differ across dimensions like inequality, gender roles, religion, and individuality. Through that lens, I connect these global cultural frameworks to America's own fragmented identity—how early immigrant roots, regional histories, and moral certainties have divided and defined the country's political landscape.I also unpack how gender distinctions, religion, and attitudes toward uncertainty influence everything from politics to personality. From Appalachian independence to New England collectivism, from authoritarian comfort to improvisational freedom, these cultural currents still ripple through every debate we have today. Understanding them, I argue, is the first step toward finding balance amid the chaos.In this episode, you will learn:(00:00) How IBM's cultural research helps explain America's divided identity(03:10) Why early immigrant settlements still shape regional attitudes centuries later(04:46) The political fault line between equality and inequality in U.S. ideology(08:51) How gender, religion, and cultural “masculinity” define national outlooks(11:57) The psychology of authoritarianism and the comfort of conformity(15:40) Why improvisers crave freedom while stabilizers seek safety(17:49) How time orientation—past, present, or future—shapes cultural behavior(21:30) The historical tug-of-war between Boston and Charleston—and what it still means todayLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

Coach Tyler and Dr. Lisa Folden sit down with Reba Parker, a professor at the College of Charleston. Reba teaches sociology through a peace studies lens to explore the true meaning of peace and how to actually cultivate it in daily life. Reba shares insights from her book The Peaceability Mindset, explaining that peace isn't passive or idealistic, but practical, measurable, and rooted in safety, well-being, and interconnectedness. Together, they unpack why society often views peace as “soft,” how to shift that perception, and how simple tools like pausing, listening, and nonviolent communication can transform relationships, homes, and communities. This heartfelt conversation reveals that peace begins within, expands outward, and, when practiced intentionally, can become both powerful and predictable.Mentioned in this episode:Try WeShape for FREEhttp://weshape.com/podcastHave WeShape build you a better workoutGet 2 Weeks of WeShape for FREEhttp://weshape.com/podcastHave WeShape build you a better workout

High Rise Beverage co-founder Matt Skinner has built a coastal-themed brand in the Southeast but his ambitions extend across the nation.    The Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered intoxicating hemp beverage brand is now available in 22 states, and Skinner sees an opportunity to go even bigger.   "We're in the space of being a nationwide brand at this point," he says on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, recorded in October at the National Beer Wholesalers Association's Annual Convention in Las Vegas.    "Having those partnerships and getting in with the right distributors now is important. They're finding who they feel like their horses are in the category, and I think we are aligning across the country with that. But the Southeast is very important to us."     Skinner shares his strategy of building the brand in bars and restaurants and why his pitch to those retailers was bigger than his brand. He also explains how High Rise came to be partners with Sony Music in Nashville, which flavors are resonating with consumers and why Target's adoption of intoxicating hemp products "puts all eyes on the category."   Before the interview, Justin and Zoe discuss the latest news, such as New Belgium's packed new product slate for 2026, including new Voodoo Ranger IPAs and a canned cocktail offshoot, as well as Molson Coors' tough Q3 earnings report.

(00:00) Three Wood Loft and Ball Placement This chapter explores the ongoing evolution and challenges of using a 3-wood in golf, especially for older players experiencing decreased clubhead and ball speed. We discuss how modern alternatives, such as modified clubs with more loft, offer easier handling and similar distances compared to traditional 3-woods. With pros moving away from the 3-wood, we consider the benefits of clubs like the 5-wood, which, with its increased loft, can be easier to launch and achieve comparable distances with less effort. The discussion highlights how many golfers find greater satisfaction and performance in their game by opting for these more forgiving clubs, potentially leading to fewer frustrations on the course. (13:29) Golf Equipment Adjustments for Speed This chapter takes us through the aftermath of a hurricane in Fort Myers Beach, illustrating the resilience of nature and the local community in rebuilding efforts. I reflect on the damage reminiscent of a war zone and compare it to past experiences with Hurricane Hugo in Charleston, South Carolina. The conversation shifts to discussing when golfers should consider equipment changes to compensate for a lack of speed. Emphasis is placed on first assessing whether players can improve their physical capabilities before investing in new equipment. I explore the importance of a qualified fitter in testing equipment to ensure it complements the player's abilities, highlighting the common mistake of choosing longer and lighter shafts without considering control and accuracy. I also share a lighthearted moment about golf buddies exchanging playful banter on the course, adding a humorous touch to the sport's social aspect. (19:21) Clubs and Balls This chapter examines the intricacies of golf club fitting and the perpetual advancements in club technology. We explore how individual factors, such as familiarity with the club's weight and shaft length, influence a golfer's ability to consistently hit the center of the clubface. The importance of personalized club fitting is emphasized over succumbing to marketing claims about the latest equipment. There's also a humorous take on the ubiquity of golf commercials featuring the same picturesque Arizona backdrop, questioning whether clubs truly improve with each new release or if it's simply marketing hype. The conversation highlights the ever-present push from manufacturers to sell the latest clubs, often with extravagant claims, while reminding listeners of the value of consulting with a fitter to find the best equipment for their game. (31:03) Player Length and Equipment in Golf This chapter examines the ongoing debate about the distance modern golf balls can achieve, particularly in comparison to past golfing eras. We discuss how in the days of Tiger Woods' dominance, there wasn't much discourse about restricting golf ball distances despite his impressive driving abilities. Highlighting the irony, we touch on how players from past generations, who were once lauded for their long drives, are now among those calling for restrictions. We also explore the excitement and spectacle of players driving the ball onto short par-four greens, emphasizing the entertainment value and media attention these feats bring, regardless of the actual scores achieved. Additionally, we touch on the advancements in golf equipment, noting that while many drivers perform similarly, the evolution of golf balls continues to make a significant impact on distance. (37:42) Increasing Swing Speed Through Training This chapter focuses on techniques and exercises to increase golf swing speed, emphasizing the importance of reducing tension and encouraging faster body movement. We explore the benefits of using training tools like speed sticks and the stack system to help your brain and body coordinate faster movements. By practicing with these tools, your natural swing speed can increase, resulting in greater distance on the golf course. The importance of proper sequencing and timing in the golf swing is highlighted, including the role of lateral push, rotary twist, and braking with the lead leg to enhance club speed. Additionally, we touch on the necessity of maintaining a firm yet supple grip to prevent slowing down the club. Overall, the chapter provides practical insights into developing a faster and more powerful golf swing. (43:39) Effortless Power and Golf Performance This chapter explores the intricate balance between timing and technique in achieving maximum power and efficiency in a golf swing. We discuss how the right timing can transform a golfer's swing from a powerless effort to effortless power, using the examples of renowned long-drive champions like Justin James and Jason Zubak. These athletes demonstrate that while tremendous effort is involved, understanding when and how to apply force is crucial for maximizing distance. We also highlight the importance of having equipment fitted and working with knowledgeable instructors to enhance one's golf game. Finally, we emphasize that even those with immense power, like long-drive competitors, possess the skill and precision needed to succeed on the course. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
