Ashley Du is the Founder of Meaningful Beginnings, a premium childcare provider in San Francisco offering licensed early education for children aged 0-5. She started the business in 2013 from her home after identifying a gap in high-quality, affordable childcare options. Under her leadership, the company has expanded into multiple centers and is known for its nurturing environment and Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum. Ashley also mentors aspiring daycare owners and leverages her real estate expertise to support their growth. In this episode… Some entrepreneurs are driven by vision; others are fueled by hardship. But what happens when both collide and a business becomes more than just a business? According to Ashley Du, a seasoned entrepreneur who transformed her side hustle into a fast-growing childcare brand, success stems from believing in yourself when no one else does. She highlights how overcoming self-doubt and a scarcity mindset was just as crucial as mastering systems and operations. That inner shift laid the groundwork for scaling effectively and sustainably. Ashley also learned, through painful setbacks like embezzlement and culture breakdowns, that smart delegation and strong leadership are non-negotiable for long-term growth. Her resilience and adaptability ultimately turned adversity into structure, vision, and impact. In this episode, John Corcoran speaks with Ashley Du, Founder of Meaningful Beginnings, to talk about building a scalable childcare business through grit and vision. They discuss how personal hardship shaped her leadership, why systems are essential for growth, and how she navigated a crisis that nearly derailed her company. Ashley also shares what sobriety taught her about clarity and control.

We also discuss the historic election of Zohran Mamdani—a socialist, Muslim, pro-Palestine candidate who beat AIPAC in the most Jewish city outside of Israel—and why local electoral wins may not translate to broader socialist strategy. The conversation takes a controversial turn as we examine the left's embrace of subsidized childcare, with Benjamin arguing that this merely accommodates capitalism's dissolution of the family.Timestamps:00:00 Preview: Zohran Mamdani's Victory03:08 War with Iran, NYC Election, & the LA Protests05:06 Iran-Israel War: What Most People Miss 10:12 The Role of Arab States and Turkey11:37 Why the US May Not Want Regime Change in Iran14:34 Challenges of Regime Change in Iran27:38 Egypt, Turkey, & The Gulf States54:34 Likelihood of Revolutions in the Middle East?01:09:55 Why Russia Dosent Hell Iran01:15:58 A New Era of American Hegemony?01:26:40 The Election of Zohran Mamdani01:31:24 Lessons for The Left01:50:49 Rent Control, Housing Market and the problem with Urban Growth02:09:52 The LA protests: Immigration and Public Perception02:18:34 Childcare and The Decline of The Family02:32:25 The Abundance Movement In The Backroom segment on Patreon, Benjamin and I talk about Ezra Klein's “abundance” movement.

The Face of God | Luke 8:26–39 What do we see when we look into the face of Jesus? In a world that reads faces to judge character, status, and identity, Christ reveals something far deeper: the very heart of God. In this week's Gospel, we encounter Jesus as He heals a man possessed by demons—showing His divine authority, compassion, and the unshakable peace He alone can give. Through this act and through His journey to the cross, Jesus shows us not only His power, but His purpose: to set His face toward Jerusalem for our salvation.

 Why is child care in the U.S. so expensive that it often costs more than a mortgage or college tuition? Many families, especially single parents, are forced to spend a large portion of their income just to afford it. While there's broad support for more funding, government efforts so far have been limited and haven't solved the deeper problems in the system.

The conversation touches on the critical influence of family, childhood resilience, and how factors like food, sleep, and unstructured downtime play into our overall well-being.Elena and Janelle also examine the tough realities of provider burnout, the staggering economic impacts of mental health issues, and the new frontiers in treatment, including alternative therapies and the importance of professional guidance.

Changing careers is never easy—especially when it means leaving behind a high-paying, high-prestige profession to start something entirely new. But for our guest on Episode 202 of the Child Care Genius Podcast, it was a decision fueled by purpose. Mayosha Mendis, a former cancer researcher and EPA scientist, made the bold leap into early childhood education after becoming a mom—and realizing the kind of care she wanted for her own daughter simply didn't exist.   Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol sit down with Mayosha to explore her inspiring journey from the science lab to the preschool classroom. You'll hear how her early experiences as a parent shaped her vision, why her center had a waitlist within just six months, and how she's now building an expanded program complete with a gourmet kitchen, outdoor learning spaces, and a curriculum designed to nourish both mind and body.   Listen in as Mayosha opens up about the challenges of ownership—what she wishes more child care providers understood about financials, why thinking like a business owner is essential, and how being part of the Childcare Genius University coaching program helped her fast-track success and avoid costly missteps.   If you've ever questioned whether you're cut out for this, or wondered if it's possible to lead with both heart and business sense, Mayosha's story is one you need to hear. She's proof that even with a completely different background, you can learn the ropes, face the challenges, and build something truly meaningful—one step, one lesson, and one big dream at a time.

Inside Voices, Community Conversations: Historic Childcare Legislation by WNHH Community Radio

Jesus Overcomes Our Estrangement | Luke 8:26–39 Estrangement is more than distance—it's a broken relationship, where communication has collapsed and people live in separation, sometimes even hostility. In Luke 8, we meet a man who embodies this estrangement: isolated, tormented, and living among the dead. Yet Jesus crosses the sea to reach even him. In this sermon, we see how Jesus heals the man possessed by a legion of demons, not merely to show power over evil—but to overcome separation. Separation from self. From others. From God. That same Savior still comes to us today—through the boat of His Church, in the power of His Word and Spirit. He brings healing where there is hurt, communion where there is division, and peace where there was once only torment. Jesus overcomes our estrangement. Key Takeaway: Jesus doesn't avoid the broken—He seeks them. He brings the Gospel to the spiritually isolated, and He restores us to the family of God.
