In this episode, Julia speaks with Swatee Deepak about trust — taking the conversation beyond how it is built to the factors that quietly break it. Swatee works at the intersection of philanthropy, gender equality, and community building, and is the founding partner of Shake The Table.Swatee reflects on her experience convening groups of women philanthropists — many of whom arrive already cautious and guarded — and why trust cannot survive without clarity. When people feel unclear about purpose, expectations, or what the exchange really is, trust begins to erode.She introduces the idea of friendship as method — an ethic grounded in mutuality, shared responsibility, and human connection. Trust, she explains, weakens when communities become centred on the convenor, when power is misused, or when transparency gives way to cleverness.The conversation names the moments where trust fractures: when people feel used, manipulated, unrecognised, or unvalidated. When surprises replace honesty. When boundaries blur. When humility disappears.This episode is a reminder that trust rarely breaks in one dramatic moment. More often, it breaks in small, avoidable ways — and it is the work of the leader to notice them before it is too late.About the Guest: Swatee Deepak works at the intersection of philanthropy, gender equality, academia, the arts and community building. She is the founding partner of Shake The Table and Closer Than You Think, Co-Chair of the Global Fund for Children and EMpower – The Emerging Markets Foundation, Advisory member of the L'Oreal Fund for Women and a Senior Visiting Fellow at the Marshall Institute at the London School of Economics. Across her work, from advising governments, corporations, foundations and families of wealth to co-founding initiatives that centre solidarity and shared power. Swatee brings a deep commitment to creating communities rooted in trust, mutuality, and integrity.

Longtime Keen on Retirement listeners and friends of the firm are probably familiar with The Big Hat. Matt Wilson, our Chief Investment Officer and President, is the proud owner of an oversized Dow 100,000 cap that he wears on our show from time to time. And when folks visit our offices, such as during our annual Holiday Breakfast, they often spot Matt's hat in his office and have a bit of a chuckle about its pie-in-the-sky prediction. More than once, I've heard someone tell Matt, "Gosh, I'll never see that in my lifetime."  But ... is the Dow hitting 100,000 really all that far-fetched? On our final show of 2025, we look to market history and current trends to give you a head start in your financial planning for 2026.  I also share some stories from my big Hollywood red carpet debut as part of the Keen Wealth Foundation's charitable mission. 

“Behold the Man—this is where Jesus is drawing us in for 2026.” - Liz WrightIn this powerful opening episode of 2026, Liz Wright invites you into a living encounter with Jesus that is unfolding even as she speaks. Fresh from a night vision that has continued to transform her daily life, Liz shares a profound revelation of Christ as the Man—God folded into humanity, divinity wrapped in flesh, love embodied for us. What follows is an invitation not only to hear, but to experience Him.With tenderness and holy intensity, Liz describes being immersed in the love of Jesus, beholding Him in His humility, compassion, sovereignty, and the miracle of God choosing to dwell inside human limitation. As scene after scene of His life flashed before her, Liz was overwhelmed by the awe of a God who savors every moment of His incarnation—and who longs for us to see Him as He truly is.This episode becomes a prophetic call to behold Jesus afresh and to agree with His heart for those who cannot yet see Him—those caught under religious bondage, spiritual oppression, or simply the blindness of not knowing how loved they truly are. Liz guides listeners through Scripture, prayer, and encounter, opening a doorway for the Holy Spirit to release revelation light, break the power of religious oppression, and restore the capacity to experience Jesus intimately.Whether you are entering the new year with expectation, weariness, or longing for breakthrough, this message will center you in His presence again. You will discover a deeper rest, a fresh awareness of His nearness, and the freedom that comes from seeing Him clearly—the Man, Christ Jesus, who is God with us, God for us, and God within us.This episode will leave you beholding Him with renewed awe, liberated to live from the secret place, and awakened to love that transforms everything.Related MaterialsJoin the International Mentoring Community IMC, to facilitate a safe environment where like-minded people at any stage of their walk can enter into a deeper experience of Jesus. Liz Wright will mentor you each week through revelatory teaching, powerful testimonies and the grace to step into life-changing encounters with Jesus.

You're Closer Than You Think 60 Seconds of Hope  Angel Santana delivers a short, powerful message about faith, persistence, and the unseen progress that builds toward success. When effort feels wasted, remember roots grow underground — keep going, stay the course, and your breakthrough may be nearer than you think. Merry Christmas and join us for the story of the candy on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Sam Fleury continues our Christmas series “The God Who Gave” with a powerful message titled “Closer Than You Think.” This sermon reminds us that God is not distant, disconnected, or waiting for us to clean ourselves up—He is near, present, and actively pursuing us, even in our doubt, pain, and confusion. Through Scripture, storytelling, and thoughtful reflection, Sam shows how God often moves closer in moments we least expect. Whether you're wrestling with faith, feeling far from God, or simply exhausted by life, this message points us back to the truth of Emmanuel—God with us. You may feel far… but God is closer than you think.

In the Christmas season, waiting feels louder than ever—waiting on healing, peace, restoration, answers, breakthrough… and sometimes it feels like God is silent. But silence doesn't mean absence. In this message, Closer Than You Think: Where is God in the Waiting?, we step into the “waiting room” of Scripture and meet Simeon—a man who kept trusting God even when nothing seemed to be happening.Through Luke 2, Isaiah's prophecy, and the promise of renewed strength, you'll be reminded of this truth: Just because you can't see God's work doesn't mean God isn't working. God is near in the waiting, strategic in the silence, and faithful to every promise.If you're tired of waiting, this message is for you: Waiting isn't wasted when God is in it. He's closer than you think.

When life is hard, joy can seem far away. But God promises joy in His presence. We get to make the choice to experience joy and when we do, we learn that the greatest enemy of joy isn't pain, it's distraction!  

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Joy Is Closer Than You Think

We invest, invest, invest, and invest some more, only to look at our numbers and get frustrated by little progress we've made. Sound familiar? It's common for people to experience immense frustration and fatigue about 10 years into their investing journey, sometimes leading to apathy….or quitting altogether. Did you know that $100,000 is 1/3 of the way to $1M? It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses why you're probably closer to your goals than you think, and if so, why it should only embolden you to keep fighting.Blog post about this topic (including the chart): https://www.travisshelton.com/blog/closer-than-you-thinkPodcast website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.travisshelton.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Daily Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://travisshelton.com/blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the Daily Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://eepurl.com/gB07Ef Podcast Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/370457478238932⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Travis's Instagram:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/travis_shelton_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Travis's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/travissheltonco/YouTube:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasnj17-bOl_CZ0Cb9czmyQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meaning_over_money

When life feels heaviest, God can feel the farthest away. In this Christmas message, Closer Than You Think: When God Feels Far, we look at the story of Joseph in Matthew 1 and the promise of Immanuel — “God with us.” Even when you can't feel Him, God is closer than you think, right in the middle of your confusion, stress, and disappointment.Through honest stories, some Christmas fun (yes, even Home Alone), and a powerful look at the birth of Jesus, we'll discover that your breaking point is often God's entry point. His presence isn't based on your feelings, it's based on His promise — and Jesus didn't come just to start a holiday, He came to start your healing.

What If You're Closer Than You Think?

Dear Boss Babe.. If you've been hustling hard, chasing the next big win, but secretly battling burnout, those limiting beliefs might be the biggest roadblock standing between you and the dream life you're craving. I've been there—feeling “not ready,” “not qualified,” and stuck in the cycle of overworking just to prove myself. In this pep talk, I'm breaking down how those sneaky little stories you tell yourself are fueling burnout, blocking your self care, and keeping even the most high achiever boss babes from fully stepping into their power. More importantly, I'm giving you the exact steps to catch them, reframe them, and finally take action. Here's what you'll hear in today's episode:

Stephen J. Shaw is a data scientist and filmmaker. Birth rates in Western countries are collapsing, a trend even Elon Musk calls an existential threat. But what's the true cause? Is it economics, fear of the future, cultural shifts, or something deeper? And more importantly, can anything actually reverse the decline?

There's a moment right before every major breakthrough when everything feels impossible. You've been working on something for months, maybe years. You've tried every technique, every approach, every piece of advice you can find. And yet, the thing you want most feels further away than ever. I'm talking to you right now if you've been feeling like you're on the verge of something massive, but you just can't seem to break through that final barrier. If you've been sensing that your life is about to change dramatically, but you can't quite access that new version of yourself. If you've been getting signs, synchronicities, and downloads that something big is coming, but it feels like it's taking forever to arrive. Here's what I've discovered after two decades of studying transformation: that feeling of being "almost there" isn't frustration. It's not a sign that you're failing or doing something wrong. It's actually the most reliable indicator that you're closer to a breakthrough than you've ever been. Today, I want to show you exactly why that breakthrough feels so close yet so far away, what's really happening in that space between where you are and where you're going, and most importantly, how to finally close that gap and step into the transformation you've been waiting for. 

In this laid-back episode of The Band of Traders, host Kyle catches up with returning guests Bear Goes Long and Fleri amid house construction updates, a wild DEF CON Vegas trip, and family chaos like bounce house birthday bashes. The real gold kicks in with Fleri's raw August 2025 reflections on battling a brutal streak of 12 straight poker tournament bubbles and trading slumps from a fried PC and packed schedule. Shifting from "woe is me" to "I'm closer than I think," Fleri unpacks the power of mindset reframes… celebrating deep runs and solid entries while laser-focusing on exits, self-talk, and full-trade planning (entry, stop, target). With real-talk examples from recent NQ rips and ES tanks, the trio dives into ditching emotional piking, simplifying charts, and why outliers shouldn't derail your process. Packed with actionable insights for traders and poker pros, plus laughs on scalping vs. trading and the emotional grind.Subscribe, share, and join the trading conversations on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Discord!Sponsors and FriendsOur podcast is sponsored by Sue Maki at Fairway Independent Mortgage (MLS# 206048).

When you think about the realm of the demonic, perhaps your thoughts tend toward Hollywood depictions of it rather than its real influence in the world around you.

Letting go is one of the hardest things we face as moms, and when you're raising a child on the spectrum, it often feels impossible. In this episode, Shannon opens up about her own struggles with overprotection—why she did too much for too long, and how it actually stalled Jordan's independence. She explains why stepping back, even when it feels uncomfortable, is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child, and how safe struggles (like we talked about in last week's episode) not only build confidence for your child, but resilience for you as their mom.You'll learn practical strategies to manage your own anxiety in the moment, reframe those fearful “what ifs,” and begin creating opportunities for your child to try, grow, and succeed on their own terms.

When reflecting on the past struggles and risks Lori and I had to take in order to build the lives and businesses we have now, we realized something important. Those experiences weren't just about survival, they were given to us to build the risk tolerance and resilience we needed to get to where we are now. We share how I went from plowing snow in freezing Wisconsin winters and cleaning bar bathrooms, and Lori waking up at 4 AM to work at drive-thru coffee shops to make ends meet, to building our dream lives. We also share one mindset shift that will take you to the top of the mountain (hint: it's not talent, luck, or connections).   HIGHLIGHTS The ONE THING you tolerate that determines your success. Common pitfalls keeping most people stuck in life and business. The #1 lesson we learned from our toughest struggles. How Chris ended up cleaning bars at 3 AM. The real secret to success (it's NOT just working harder). The mindset shift that changed EVERYTHING for us.   RESOURCES Join the most supportive mastermind on the internet - the Mentor Collective Mastermind!

Chris and I just had the most nostalgic lunch reminiscing about the jobs, struggles, and insane risks we took to build the lives and businesses we have now. We talk about how I used to wake up at 4 AM to work at drive-thru coffee shops, while he spent winters plowing snow in freezing Wisconsin and even cleaned bar bathrooms at 3 AM just to survive. Looking back, we realized those experiences weren't just about making ends meet, they were building the risk tolerance we'd later need to succeed.

Do you ever feel stuck on your journey, unsure of how far you've really come? In this episode, I'm sharing three key takeaways from a previous live event, starting with why it's so hard to accurately assess where you are—and how that holds you back from making real progress.We'll also dive into why something “feeling true” doesn't mean it is actually true, and how shifting this mindset can help you release the limiting beliefs keeping you stuck. Finally, I'll explain why you've got to be willing to be wrong in order to grow. You do not want to miss these takeaways, so grab your headphones and let's go!Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/402
