Your voice isn't the problem. Your positioning might be.I say that as someone on the speaker-booking side of the business.I talk to subject matter experts who have lived through incredible experiences, built real expertise, and have something meaningful to say.In this episode, I'm joining host of THE HEROES podcast, Endre Hoffmann as we share how your personal journey, your hard-earned lessons, your perspective, and even the seasons that tested you can become part of a much bigger professional mission.But many are still trying to grow their speaking and corporate training careers by doing what everyone tells them to do:Post more.Build a better reel.Collect more credentials.Chase more visibility.Try to sound more polished.And somewhere along the way, their actual message gets buried.Here's the myth I want to challenge:You don't need to become louder to create more impact.You need to become clearer about what only you can say and who needs to hear it.Because nobody can step into my voice.And nobody can step into yours.Your voice is more than content.It's a mandate.But that doesn't mean telling your entire story.It means knowing which part of your story matters most to the person sitting across from you.That's where speaking strategy comes in.The goal isn't simply to become more visible.It's to become more memorable, more relevant, and easier to understand when an opportunity comes across the table.And that changes how you think about:→ Your signature message.→ Your speaker brand.→ Your corporate training offer.→ Your audience.→ Your milestones.→ Your next level of growth.→ And ultimately, the legacy you're building.Because a sustainable speaking career isn't built by trying to say everything.It's built by knowing what you're here to say and staying focused enough to make it matter.If you're a subject matter expert building the speaking or corporate training side of your career, I want you to ask yourself:If the right person heard me today, would they immediately understand why my message matters?That question can change everything.Your voice is already yours.The next step is learning how to amplify it with intention.Ready to rethink how you're building your speaking career?

What do you do when you've created a ritual, tried it a few times, and it just isn't sticking? Maybe the answer isn't to try harder. Y'all, life has been a little bit of crazy town around here lately. Back-to-school schedules, early morning rehearsals, sick kids, health stuff, travel, speaking engagements, work, and all the beautiful opportunities I've been dreaming about for years are happening at the same time. And through all of it, I've been holding onto my rituals. But a conversation with one of my clients recently made me realize something: We don't show up in exactly the same state every day. And if our current state changes, the state we're trying to move toward might change too. So why would we expect one ritual to work every single time? In this episode, I'm introducing the idea of a ritual menu: a small collection of rituals you can choose from depending on what you actually need in that moment. Instead of immediately deciding what your perfect ritual should look like, I want you to experiment. Spend some time asking yourself two questions: What is my current state? And what is my desired state? Pay attention. Collect some data. Look for the patterns that emerge. You might discover that you don't need one perfect end-of-the-workday ritual. You need three or four options that help you move from where you are to where you want to be. Because the best ritual isn't necessarily the most beautiful, elaborate, or perfectly consistent one. The best ritual is the ritual you'll actually do. As we wrap up this month of exploring rituals, I hope you'll keep experimenting, keep playing, and give yourself permission to create practices that work with your real life instead of demanding that your real life conform to them. And if you've been living in crazy town lately too, I hope your rituals are helping you hold on loosely, hurry slowly, and grit gently.

Daily Anglican Prayer – Wednesday Morning – 30th September 2026 Readings NRSVUE: Psalm 72; Ezra 1; Colossians 1.21-29. Led by Felicity Scott, an Anglican prayer minister in Queensland, Australia. The full prayer transcript is available by going to this episode on the Podcast website. https://dailyprayeranglicanprayerbookforaustralia.podbean.com Welcome to Wednesday Morning prayer. We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ: GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA With faithfulness we respond to the good news: We acknowledge Christ our Saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever. Let us Pray. 1 Rejoice always pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.      Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:  as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.    2 The Opening Canticle, A Song of God's Grace Blessed are you,  the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: For you have blessed us in Christ Jesus with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,  You chose us to be yours in Christ, before the foundation of the world: That we should be holy and blameless before you.  In love you destined us to be your children, through Jesus Christ: according to the purpose of your will,  to the praise of your glorious grace: which you freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. Ephesians 1.3-6   3 The Opening Prayer The night has passed and the day lies open before us;  let us pray with one heart and mind.   Silence may be kept. As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,  so may the light of your presence, O God,  set our hearts on fire with love for you;  now and for ever.  Amen.   4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each.   Psalm reading… Psalm 72;     5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow We consecrate this day to your service, O Lord; may all our thoughts, words, and actions be well-pleasing to you and serve the good of our brothers and sisters; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.   6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.   1st Reading EZRA 1 1 In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD from the mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also in writing, saying: 2 “Thus says King Cyrus of Persia: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3Let any of those among you who are of his people—may their God be with them!—go up to Jerusalem in Judah and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4And let all survivors in whatever place they reside be assisted by the people of their place with silver and gold, with goods, and with livestock, besides freewill offerings for the house of God in Jerusalem.” 5 Then the heads of the families of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the Levites—everyone whose spirit God had stirred—got ready to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD in Jerusalem. 6All their neighbors aided them with silver vessels, with gold, with goods, with livestock, and with valuable gifts, besides all that was freely offered. 7King Cyrus himself brought out the vessels of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. 8 King Cyrus of Persia had them released into the charge of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9And this was the inventory: gold basins, thirty; silver basins, one thousand; knives, twenty-nine; 10 gold bowls, thirty; other silver bowls, four hundred ten; other vessels, one thousand; 11 the total of the gold and silver vessels was five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar brought up when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem. Hear the word of the LORD. Thanks be to God 2nd Reading COLOSSIANS 1.21-29 21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him, 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a minister of this gospel.   24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its minister according to God's commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil and strive with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me.   Hear the message of Christ. Thanks be to God.     7 The Canticle, We praise you O God: we claim you as Lord. All creation thanks you: The Father everlasting. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven: The cherubim and serafim sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of power and might: Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Father of majesty unbounded: Your true and only son, worthy of all praise, the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal son of the father. When you took our flesh to set us free: You humbly chose the virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of death: And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory: We believe that you will come to be our judge. Come then, God, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood: And bring us with your Saints to glory everlasting.   8 The belief and principle is said I believe in God, creator of heaven and earth, whose love and merciful forgiveness endures everlasting. I believe in Christ the saviour, whose example of love and compassion, taught us a restored way to live, in collaborative unity with all people. I believe in the Holy Spirit, whose divine guidance brings us together to be one with the Holy Trinity. Amen.   9 The Prayers Lord have mercy.  Christ have mercy.  God have mercy.      10 The Lord's Prayer and the Collect of the Day Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come,  your will be done,  on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our sins  as we forgive those who sin against us.  Save us from the time of trial  and deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours  now and for ever. Amen.      Prayer of the Week following the EIGHTEENTH Sunday after Pentecost O God, You declare your almighty power Chiefly in showing mercy and pity Mercifully grant us such a measure of your grace That running in the way of your commandments We may obtain your gracious promises And be made partakers of your heavenly treasure Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Amen   11 Intercessions and Thanksgivings may be made according to local custom and need.

Which Canadian Cities Are Most Exposed to U.S. Tariffs? Tariffs and the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade dispute are creating another layer of uncertainty for Canadian businesses, workers, landlords and real estate investors. But the impact is not going to be equal across the country. In today's episode, Wayne and Gabby look at which Canadian cities have the greatest exposure to U.S. tariffs, why certain local economies are more vulnerable than others, and what investors should be thinking about when choosing markets and building portfolios that can survive economic disruptions. The Rental Market Is Getting More Competitive Before getting into tariffs, Wayne and Gabby share an update from their own rental portfolio. A new tenant moved in early over the weekend, and Gabby explains why they were particularly happy with the tenant profile, including strong credit, good communication, insurance in place, and rent and security deposit paid ahead of time. They also discuss the changing Edmonton rental market. Tenants currently have more options in certain property categories, which means landlords may have to work harder to attract strong applicants. Wayne and Gabby currently have multiple renovation crews moving between properties, but these aren't simply renovations for the sake of improving a property. They're strategic improvements designed to make their rentals more competitive, reduce vacancy and help achieve stronger rents. When supply increases, being "good enough" may not be enough. Presentation, pricing, tenant experience and property condition become increasingly important. What Happens When a Tenant Moves In Before the Lease Starts? A live viewer asked an important landlord question: If you allow a tenant to move in before the official lease date, does that create additional liability? Gabby walks through three things landlords should consider: • Update the lease commencement date and have the appropriate parties acknowledge the change. • Make sure the tenant's insurance begins on the actual possession date. • Collect the required rent and security deposit before possession is provided. Landlords can also decide whether to charge prorated rent for the additional days. In this particular situation, Wayne and Gabby chose not to charge extra because the property was already vacant and the early possession was only a matter of days. Real Estate Investors Need to Build for the Storm One of the biggest themes of today's episode is that economic disruptions are inevitable. Oil crashes, pandemics, rapidly rising interest rates, flooding, trade disputes and other unexpected events continually test real estate investors. Wayne's argument is that investors shouldn't build portfolios that only work when everything goes right. They should buy properties with enough cash flow and financial cushion to withstand periods when things go wrong. He discusses an example of a mentorship student's property generating approximately $670 per month in cash flow. That cushion gives the investor significantly more room to absorb higher expenses, lower rents or other unexpected changes than a property operating close to break-even. Cash flow isn't spending money. It's a risk mitigator. The 5% Rule and Surviving Economic Disruptions Wayne returns to the cash flow framework from his book, The 5% Rule™: A Real Estate Cash Flow Test for Canadian Investors. The formula is: (Annual Cash Flow ÷ Down Payment) × 100 5–6% = sufficient 7–9% = strong 10%+ = excellent Wayne's position is that investors should be buying properties capable of producing meaningful cash flow without depending on appreciation. The greater the cushion, the better positioned the investor is to deal with vacancies, declining rents, higher financing costs and economic shocks. Search "The 5% Rule by Wayne Hillier" on Amazon to learn more. Which Canadian Cities Are Most Exposed to U.S. Tariffs? The episode then examines Canadian cities whose economies have particularly strong exposure to trade with the United States. The industries highlighted include: • Energy in Alberta and New Brunswick • Automotive and manufacturing in Southern Ontario • Steel in Hamilton • Aluminum, forestry and manufacturing in Quebec Saint John, New Brunswick ranked at the top of the tariff exposure index discussed during the show, followed by Calgary. Calgary's position is particularly interesting for Alberta investors. The city's economy has significant exposure to the corporate and export side of Canada's energy industry, and an enormous percentage of its international merchandise exports are destined for the United States. Southern Ontario also features prominently because of its deeply integrated manufacturing and automotive supply chains. Windsor, Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo, Brantford and Guelph were among the markets discussed. Hamilton's steel industry creates another form of exposure, while several Quebec communities face risks connected to aluminum, forestry and manufacturing. Lethbridge also appeared among the top 10, although Wayne emphasizes that simply appearing on the list doesn't mean every city faces an equivalent level of exposure. There is a substantial difference between the exposure measurements at the top and bottom of the list. Edmonton vs. Calgary For Wayne, one of the most interesting comparisons is Edmonton versus Calgary. Although both cities are part of an energy-producing province, their economic structures are different. Calgary's economy has greater direct exposure to the corporate and export side of energy. Edmonton still has significant connections to energy, manufacturing and industrial activity, but its economy also includes substantial government, healthcare, education, construction and other sectors. In the ranking discussed during the episode, Edmonton was considerably further down the list at 24th. Wayne explains why economic diversification is one of the fundamentals he considers when choosing a real estate market. No market is immune to economic shocks, but he wants to invest in large markets with strong economies and enough diversification to absorb them. That resilience is one of the reasons Wayne continues to favour Edmonton real estate investing. Don't Wait for Perfect Conditions The takeaway isn't that investors should stop buying real estate because tariffs, interest rates or economic uncertainty exist. There is always another challenge coming. Wayne and Gabby's strategy is to build portfolios that can survive those challenges through strong cash flow, adequate reserves, appropriate tenant profiles, careful market selection and disciplined buying. Waiting for perfect conditions isn't the strategy. Preparing for imperfect conditions is.

A $13 Billion Meta Data Centre Is Coming Near Edmonton. What Does It Mean for Real Estate? A massive new technology investment is putting Alberta back in the national spotlight. Meta is developing its first Canadian data centre in Sturgeon County, just north of Edmonton, with an estimated investment of approximately $13 billion. But for real estate investors, the important question is not simply: "How big is the project?" It is: "What will this actually do to housing, rents, jobs and property values?" On today's Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby look at both sides of the story. Could large-scale data centres create new construction activity, jobs and economic growth around Edmonton? Absolutely. Does that mean investors should immediately start buying houses beside them? Not necessarily. Today's episode also covers another developing story out of Ontario, where investors connected to the Simple Investor property-management model were reportedly told that rental payments were being delayed while the company dealt with market and liquidity challenges. The two stories may seem completely different, but they reinforce the same lesson: Understand what you are investing in and never replace fundamentals with excitement. Ontario Investors Face Delayed Payments Wayne and Gabby begin with reports involving Simple Investor and its affiliated property-management operation. According to the report discussed on the show, some investors who owned properties through the model were told that rental payments were being delayed because of market and liquidity challenges. One investor reportedly owned six properties and had relied on the rental payments to service mortgages. That raises a question Wayne repeatedly comes back to: Where is the rent actually going? If a tenant pays rent to a property-management company, the owner should understand: Where the money is held How management fees are deducted When the remaining rent is transferred Whether funds are segregated Who controls the accounts What happens if the management company experiences financial trouble Wayne's concern is not about making conclusions regarding what occurred in this particular situation without all the facts. It is about investors understanding the structure they are putting their money into. Hands-Off Investing Still Has Risk One of the attractions of these types of investments is that they can appear extremely simple. Buy the unit. Let somebody else manage everything. Collect the payment. But handing control to another company does not eliminate risk. It transfers some of that control to somebody else. Wayne explains why one of the reasons he originally chose real estate was the ability to control more of the investment himself. If something goes wrong with his property, tenant, financing or expenses, he can respond directly. The more layers added between the investor and the asset, the more important due diligence becomes. Then Comes Alberta's Data-Centre Boom The second half of today's episode shifts to a very different story. Meta is building a massive data centre in Sturgeon County, north of Edmonton. The development represents approximately: $13 billion in investment. Alberta is also attracting interest from numerous other data-centre developers. Why Alberta? Several factors make the province attractive: Large amounts of available land Natural gas and electricity infrastructure Energy-industry expertise Cold temperatures that can reduce cooling requirements A business environment actively pursuing major investment For Alberta, this could become a significant new industry. More Than 100 Projects Have Been Proposed There has been enormous interest in building data centres across Alberta. But Wayne stresses an important distinction: Proposed does not mean built. A hundred proposals do not equal a hundred completed projects. Investors need to separate: Announcements from Approvals from Construction from Completed operating facilities. Meta's project is significant because it has moved beyond being simply an idea. What Could This Mean for Edmonton Real Estate? A project of this size can create economic activity. Construction workers need somewhere to live. Contractors need services. Suppliers expand. Companies supporting the project may establish local operations. Infrastructure investment follows. All of those things can support an economy. But Wayne cautions against immediately converting an economic announcement into a real-estate prediction. A $13-billion project does not automatically mean: Rents will explode. Property values will skyrocket. Every nearby neighbourhood becomes a great investment. You still have to analyze the actual property. Don't Invest Based on the Headline Wayne's investment philosophy is straightforward. He does not want to buy a property because he hopes Meta causes it to appreciate. He wants to buy a property that already works. That means analyzing: Purchase price Market rent Expenses Financing Vacancy Tenant demand Cash flow If the property makes money today, future economic growth becomes upside. If the investment only works because you are hoping a massive technology project pushes its value higher, you are speculating. The Business Inside the Building Wayne describes a rental property as two things. There is the asset, the physical property. Then there is the business operating inside it. The investor has much more control over the business. You can control: The property you purchase. The tenant profile you target. The quality of the rental. The neighbourhood. The number of bedrooms. The rent. The expenses. The management. You cannot control whether buyers decide to pay more for the property five years from now. That is why Wayne builds his investment strategy around operating profitability first. Should You Buy Beside a Data Centre? This is where the conversation becomes more complicated. Data centres can create employment and economic activity. But being directly beside one may not necessarily be desirable. Communities in parts of the United States have raised concerns about: Constant cooling-fan noise Electricity demand Water use Construction activity Industrial traffic Visual impact The long-term effect depends heavily on the type of facility and where it is located. In the case of Meta's Sturgeon County development, the site is within Alberta's Industrial Heartland rather than being dropped into the middle of an established Edmonton residential neighbourhood. Still, investors should understand both the positive and negative possibilities before buying nearby. Buyer Perception Matters Gabby raises an important point. Even if somebody cannot prove that living near a data centre is harmful, potential buyers may still decide they do not want to live there. That matters. Real estate values are ultimately influenced by supply and demand. If enough buyers avoid a location because they perceive it negatively, that perception itself can affect demand. Investors therefore need to understand not only the physical impact of a project but how the public is likely to react to it. What About Electricity Costs? Large data centres require enormous amounts of electricity. Capital Power has agreed to initially supply 250 megawatts to Meta's Sturgeon County facility. Wayne discusses the possibility that major power demand could have broader effects on electricity infrastructure and costs. The ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on how Alberta expands generation and transmission capacity. For landlords who include utilities in rent, any major change in electricity costs matters because higher operating expenses directly reduce cash flow. Jobs Matter, But What Kind of Jobs? Another important question is what happens after construction is finished. A project of this scale can employ thousands during development. But permanent operations may require significantly fewer employees. That means investors should distinguish between: temporary construction employment and long-term permanent employment. A three-year construction boom can create short-term rental demand. Long-term real estate fundamentals depend much more heavily on lasting employment and population growth. Wayne Is Still Buying Edmonton Wayne's conclusion is not that data centres are good or bad for Edmonton real estate. There is still too much uncertainty for that. What he does know is that he is not buying Edmonton property because Meta is coming. He is buying Edmonton property because he can currently find investments that: Cash flow Produce strong returns Attract good tenants Work without depending on appreciation If the data-centre boom strengthens Edmonton's economy over the next decade, that becomes additional upside. But the investment needs to work without it. REI Masters Mentorship Want direct help building your real estate investment strategy?

This week on The Big Dumb Podcast we binge-watch like it's a second job (Lanterns, Lioness, and whatever else we half-finished), then clock Ben Affleck volunteering to be Tom Brady's gold-digger early-warning system. Ed Sheeran's tour implodes because somebody said two words on a stadium stage. Eric does the Constitution. Blake does J-Lo. Again. Then we find out there are companies whose entire business model is writing your “I quit” letter so you don't have to. We wrap with the Emmys, where the only surprise is that anyone still pretends to be shocked.

What if confidence doesn't come before action, but because of it? In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explains why waiting until you feel confident can keep you stuck, and how taking small actions creates the evidence your brain needs to trust yourself. Cindra shares the idea of building a Confidence Bank, where every courageous action, follow-through, recovered mistake, and small win becomes another deposit. Over time, those deposits change the way you see yourself and help you face future challenges with greater confidence. In this episode, you'll learn: Why confidence often follows action rather than comes before it How to make daily deposits into your Confidence Bank Why small wins can build stronger confidence than waiting for one big achievement How your brain tends to remember failures more easily than successes The simple "Capture Your Wins" practice for collecting evidence of your progress Three questions to ask yourself each night to strengthen self-trust Power Phrase: "I can trust myself." You don't need to feel completely confident before you move. Take the action, collect the evidence, and build your confidence one deposit at a time.

Today is day 260 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 260. How did Jesus summarize God's Law? Jesus summarized God's Law by saying: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37–40; see also Deuteronomy 6:1–9; Leviticus 19:9–18; Psalm 31:23–24; John 15:7–17; 1 John 4:16–5:3) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for the Fifth Sunday in Lent found on page 606 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

In 2026, Hannah Gibson created Recycling Narratives, No Matter the Weight, in collaboration with textile artist Naomi Beevers. This collaborative work was shared with the public at Laura Donefer's Glass Fashion Show held at the Glass Art Society conference at the Corning Museum of Glass in June. The work consists of thousands of individual pieces of recycled cast glass, each made from donated glass carrying its own story and hand assembled into a wearable dress. Created from glass contributed by people around the world, the installation explores the emotional and physical weight carried through illness, loss, hope and survival, transforming individual experiences into a collective portrait of resilience, compassion and connection. Working predominantly with recycled glass, Gibson transforms glass that has played a meaningful role in people's lives, from medicine bottles and insulin vials to perfume bottles, windscreens and everyday domestic objects, into cast sculpture that preserves the histories embedded within the material. Every object is carefully selected for the story it carries, allowing experiences of healing, celebration, loss and survival to become inseparable from the finished work. Through this process, she invites audiences to reconsider the social, emotional and cultural significance of the objects that shape our lives. Growing up at the foothills of Snowdonia, overlooking the Menai Strait, Gibson developed an early fascination with geology, leading her to study Geology at the University of Edinburgh. While there, an interest in glass grew into a lifelong passion. She later completed a Master's in Glass at The University College of Arts in Farnham, where she began developing the bodies of work Recycling Narratives and Whispering Sweet Nothings. Returning as Artist in Residence, her research explored materiality and the transformative potential of recycled glass, laying the foundations for a practice that continues to investigate the relationship between object, memory and cultural heritage. Gibson's work has received international recognition, including the Award of Excellence at Habatat Detroit in 2024, First Prize in the Glass Art Society's Trace: An Exploration of Sustainable Glass Art in 2023, being shortlisted for the Coburg Prize for Contemporary Glass in 2022, and being Highly Commended in The Glass Prize in both 2021 and 2022. Her work has been exhibited internationally at the Corning Museum of Glass, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, the Imagine Museum, the National Liberty Museum and the Royal Scottish Academy, as well as at SOFA Chicago, COLLECT, PAN Amsterdam, the British Glass Biennale, Habatat Detroit Fine Art, Habatat North Carolina, The Etienne Gallery, Gallery TEN and London Glassblowing. Her work will be on view in The Other Glass: The Art of Recycled Glass, at the Stourbridge Glass Museum, Wordsley, August 28 through February 27, 2027; and also at The British Glass Biennale in St Helen's, UK, from August 28 through November 1, 2026. https://www.stourbridgeglassmuseum.org.uk/featured-exhibitions/ Alongside her studio practice, Gibson creates public art, delivers lectures and workshops internationally, and continues to expand the possibilities of recycled glass. Gibson's work demonstrates how materials that have completed their original purpose can become enduring works of art, preserving personal narratives while contributing to wider conversations about sustainability, memory and our relationship with the material world. States Gibson: "For almost three decades, my practice has explored the creative and technical potential of recycled glass. As both a glass artist and a geologist, I am fascinated by the stories held within materials and the traces of human experience they contain. Through recycling and recasting these objects, I seek to preserve their histories while creating new forms and meanings."

Video games now known as Collect-A-Thons (short for "Collection Marathons") came about in the late 1990s with the advent of 3-D polygonal platformers with and fully exploreable game worlds. By giving players a ton of items to hunt down and "collect", these games developed a very unique identity and today are considered a distinct sub-genre. For this episode, we'll do our thing, spotlighting 6 great video games that help build the genre into one that's worth celebrating!

Two listeners. Two brushes with a threshold. One at a deathbed, one in a fold of time itself.In the last three days of her life, Priya's nani begins talking to people who aren't there: not frightened, but delighted. She greets her mother, her sister, and names an infant brother who died in India seventy years ago, a child the family had to phone across the world to confirm ever existed. On the final afternoon she looks at Priya, lucid, and says: "They're all here now. Look how many came." And the corner of the room feels crowded, a fullness Priya, her mother, and her aunt each feel on their skin and only admit to one another afterwards.Then Darnell, a Chicago electrician, describes a moment that repeats. Twice, twenty years apart, a wave hits him and he knows in specific, testable detail, exactly what the next two seconds hold. The second time, something is different: the moment feels like it's watching him back, holding still, waiting to see what he'll do. And his late mother's two-word warning from the first time surfaces just in time: "Don't chase it."Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the deathbed "gathering" that comes to collect its own, the "roll call" that names the dead the living couldn't have invented, and the fold in time that becomes a door once it knows you've noticed it.What happens when the threshold doesn't just open for the dying… but notices the living standing at the door?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Today is day 255 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Toward a Rule of Life 255.Why is prayer an essential part of a rule of life?

(Job 28:12–28; Psalm 143; Romans 8:26–30) We will conclude today with A Collect for Guidance in Morning Prayer found on page 23 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 253 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Toward a Rule of Life 253.Why do you need a rule of life? I need a rule of life because my fallen nature is disordered, distracted, and self-centered. A rule of life helps me to resist sin and establish godly habits, through which the Holy Spirit will increasingly conform me to the image of Christ.

Send us Fan MailSeptember is busy—and sometimes the unexpected kid stuff just keeps coming. Between orthodontist appointments, physio, tryouts, sick days, social plans, broken instruments, and all the little things that pop up, it's easy to feel frustrated and think, “Really? I have to deal with this too?”But what if we adjusted our expectations and remembered: this is part of what we signed up for?In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that helped me stay calmer during a very chaotic week. I'm also talking about letting go of perfectionism—whether that means counting the imperfect exercise reps, recording a day late, clearing out one garbage bag of clutter, or showing up with temporary teeth that got hilariously stained by berries and seeds.Life is not always neat, organized, or perfect—but it can still be good, funny, and meaningful. Sometimes we just need to lower our expectations a little, stop making the inconvenience bigger in our minds, and give ourselves credit for doing what we can.TranscriptHey guys, how's it going? How's your September going? Is it super busy?It's been really busy for us, but this is what we signed up for, right? That's actually what I want to talk to you all about today—the mindset shift that helped me this week, and hopefully it will help you too.This week, just like every other week—but this week a lot more—I've had a lot of unexpected things happen. Not necessarily bad things, but kid-related things, requests, schedules, and things that I had to deal with unexpectedly. Things we didn't plan for.While I was preparing to record this, I thought about a conversation I had with my friend. We went for a walk, and she was sharing some of the struggles she's having at work.She has to work with someone in another department, and every time she has to communicate with that person, they seem surprised and unhappy about the request—even though it's literally their job to accommodate the department my friend works with.They have to work together on all the events, schedules, calendars, and everything. My friend works in the planning department, and the marketing department is responsible for communicating all the events through emails, flyers, and other communications. So it's my friend's job to give marketing all the information about the events, when things should go out, and what needs to be included.Yet every time they communicate, this person seems displeased. Maybe the information came too late, or too early, or there wasn't enough detail. They just seem unhappy, even though this is their job.We laughed about it and said, “Well, it's their job to do that, but why are they so unhappy about it?”Obviously, there's probably some kind of miscommunication or something going on in their head that we don't know about. Maybe they want things done differently, or maybe there's something missing from the picture.But from the outside, it looks like it's their job, and yet they're bothered every time they have to do it.Then I started sharing about all the things I've had to do unexpectedly with my kids. We realized that I was acting exactly like that marketing department.I was thinking, “Oh, really? Do I have to do that now? Couldn't you have told me sooner? Really?”It's kind of comical when you think about it, because it is literally my job to take care of my kids. I'm a stay-at-home mom with four children, and I chose to stay home to take care of my family.So when things come up—like an unexpected trip to the orthodontist because my son broke his bracket again—I have to make the phone call, schedule the appointment, drive there, and work it into the rest of our schedule.And this is probably the tenth time he's broken that bracket.That same boy also got injured again, so I had to get him into physio. I had to make the calls, schedule the appointment, drive him there, and pick him up.Then two of my boys had tryouts for something, but we didn't know the times until the very last minute.On top of that, I had a sick kid at home. Every day, I didn't know whether he was going to school or staying home.And if you're listening to this, you're probably thinking, “Yes, that's me. I understand.”We've all had sick kids at home. But because we're hoping for some peace and quiet, we expect the best. Then when we don't get the best, we have that little feeling of dread and disappointment.I also had to repair an instrument, and this was all in one week.Then there are the social requests. The kids want to hang out with their friends, and there are all the other things that come up.I realized that simply reminding myself, “This is part of my job,” gave me a little bit of a cushion. It helped me calm myself down and not overreact.I'm very easy to overreact and make things into a bigger deal than they need to be. But at the end of the day, this is my job.If I don't have to do those things, that's great. But if I do have to do them, I already signed up for this.That little shift in mindset helped me calm down. At the end of the day, it's not a huge deal to make the phone call, drive somewhere, drop someone off, or wait.It's more the way we think about it that makes it feel so bothersome. We think about it, and then we drive and do all these things, and the inconvenience just compounds.There's a great quote from Modern Family that always makes me laugh. If you haven't watched that show, we love it.The father says, “Everyone can experience life's greatest moments if you just lower your expectations.”And I think that applies here too.When we lower our expectations, we can access more calm. We can stop feeling like a victim and instead feel like, “Hey, I'm in charge. This is okay.”Then we can see the beautiful moments in it too.The other thing I've been practicing is connected to the same idea: not going for perfect.I've been doing some core exercises at home, and I noticed that if I couldn't do a movement perfectly, I didn't want to count that repetition toward my goal of 30.I had to correct my thinking and say, “You know what? This does count, even if it isn't perfect.”One side of my body is weaker and tighter, so the movement isn't always going to look perfect. I had to decide that I'm going to count all of the imperfect repetitions because I'm still doing the exercise.That has been a big change for me—letting go of perfectionism and letting go of the fear that something doesn't count if it isn't done perfectly.I'm still getting closer to my goal of getting stronger. I'm still getting exercise in during the day. I'm making progress, and I don't have to be afraid that it isn't enough.So if that's you, try counting the imperfect repetitions toward your goal.I know it's easier said than done. Sometimes we don't even realize we're trying to make something perfect until someone points it out, or until we realize we didn't count a repetition because it wasn't perfect.A lot of people don't count exercise unless it's an hour at the gym or an intense workout. But a walk is exercise. A bike ride with a friend is exercise.Count the things that aren't perfect, but that still move you toward your goal.That's helping me get stronger, and it's also helping me not be upset that everything isn't perfect.Hopefully these examples help you too.That's what this whole journey is about for me. I'm just a stay-at-home mom sharing the things I'm struggling with and how I'm working through them.Hopefully it inspires you to approach your own problems in a similar way and keep solving them. Because solving problems gives you momentum to keep solving more problems, and that feels really, really good.And, by the way, I'm going to give you another example. I'm all over the place, but I think they're all related because they're all about solving problems.Get another garbage bag and go through your house. Collect things that can be donated, things that are broken, and things that are garbage.It's going to feel so good. It's going to feel productive, and it will get you moving in the direction of tackling the clutter wherever it is.It's going to make your life easier. I promise you. It feels so good, and it is so worth it.Even if you only do five minutes a day, it's worth it. It will clear out the clutter and make space for the life you're already living.It will make it easier to organize your home and live in it. It's really worth it.So that's what I have for you today.By the way, I'm recording a day late because yesterday was crazy. But see? Not perfect.I just told myself, “It's not a big deal if it isn't on a Wednesday. Who cares?”Ideally, I'd like to release an episode every Wednesday, but today is Thursday. So what?But I'm having a good day. I played tennis with my friend, and she beat me today—but I beat her last time.Still, not perfect, but great.Oh my gosh, I have to tell you this funny story. This is definitely another great example of not being perfect.I'm getting some dental work done. I'm replacing the two veneers on my two front teeth. I've had them for 17 years, and it's time to replace them.I went in yesterday and had the procedure done. It was a very long procedure, and I was so ready to leave by the end.They put in temporary teeth while the lab creates the permanent ones. I'm going back in a week to have the permanent ones put in.The temporary teeth don't match the colour of my other teeth perfectly. They're much lighter, so they already look terrible—like a little Halloween decoration.I had t Support the show

Today is day 247 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Corporate Worship. 247. What is the role of Scripture in the Prayer Book?

The work that builds wealth is usually not exciting.It is repetitive.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why consistent execution, strong systems, and boring routines often create more long-term value than constantly chasing new ideas.Starting something new feels exciting.Repeating the same proven process for the thousandth time does not.But that repetition is where efficiency, predictability, and stronger profit margins are built.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why constantly chasing new ideas can create operational chaos• How standard operating procedures improve consistency and scalability• Why repetitive sales, follow-up, and KPI tracking drive long-term results• How disciplined execution compounds into stronger business performance over timeThe truth is simple:You do not need a new strategy every week.You need to execute the right strategy consistently.Make the calls.Track the numbers.Follow up.Improve the system.Then repeat it long enough for the results to compound.The boring work builds the foundation.The foundation creates the freedom.Master the routine.Collect the discipline dividend.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?
