That sense of powerlessness is something we all experience. The truth is, apart from Christ, we are powerless. In and of ourselves, we cannot be who God wants us to be. Apart from Christ, we are weak, without strength, and unable to move forward.Main Points:1.  Have you ever felt powerless? Like your batteries were on empty? Like you couldn't go on? Did you feel as if you didn't have the strength you needed or the ability to face a challenge? Maybe you felt you had reached your limit and that you simply couldn't take the stress anymore. Perhaps you felt powerless to change, to stop, to grow, to adapt, or to become what God desires for your life.2. Oh, how we need the Lord in our lives. Oh, how you and I need Jesus. It's in Him we find our strength. It's in Him we become strong. It's only through His power that you and I can be overcomers.3. Every relationship we have exists because we intentionally invested in the other person. The same is true with Christ. Commit to daily investing time with Jesus. It's through our knowledge of Him that we gain the power we need.Today's Scripture Verses:2 Peter 1:3 - “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”Romans 8:11 - “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

No company decides to fail. It drifts there one comfortable lie at a time. Kaz Nejatian took over Opendoor when it was just months away from bankruptcy and set out to rebuild it from the ground up. What happened next shocked everyone. Most turnaround stories are told years later, by the winner, after the ending is already known. That's why they always sound clean and polished. This one doesn't have an ending yet, and it's anything but clean and polished. Kaz takes us inside while it's still happening. We discuss why great companies drift away from reality, why truth has to matter more than feelings, and how competent people who don't believe in the mission quietly destroy an organization. He shares the principles behind rebuilding culture, eliminating bureaucracy, making faster decisions, using AI to flatten management, and creating teams that move with speed and ownership. One of the key things I learned in this conversation is that the comfortable lies that sink a company are the same ones that sink a career. ------ Chapters: (0:00) How Opendoor Came Back from the Dead (1:32) How Mismanagement Causes Atrophy (4:28) The Blueprint that Changed Opendoor (5:33) Rewriting the Book on Company Turnarounds (5:57) The People You Hire Is the Company You Build (6:31) Be a Nuclear Bomb of Truth (7:52) How to Change a Losing Company Culture (8:07) Commit to Truth Over Feelings (8:33) The Most Dangerous Kind of Employee (9:13) Key Principles to Turning Around a Company (11:59) Meetings Are a Bug in the System (12:30) Why It's Rude to Not Disagree (13:05) Say the Thing Culture (15:04) How AI Is Supercharging Opendoor (18:16) Most Powerful Mental Models (22:50) Why Remote Workplaces Don't Succeed (24:56) How Opendoor Killed Distractions (26:09) The Key to Being a Market Maker (35:20) How Companies Fall Off Course Over Time (37:24) The Power of Speaking Simply (43:27) Turnaround Lessons for Life (51:10) Excellence Is Capacity to Take Pain ------ Newsletter: The Brain Food newsletter delivers actionable insights and thoughtful ideas every Sunday.

We're talking about community and commitment today… something we all can get a little bit better at, and one of my favorite couples is joining us for this conversation.  I've watched Shawn Johnson and Andrew East build such beautiful friendships here in Nashville, both in their season of life before kids and now with kids. As we get spiritually stronger, this is our reminder that we do not have to do that alone. We're going to spend the next few weeks really talking about what it looks like to commit to community, how to communicate well, and why it matters. Their new book, The Courage to Commit, recently hit the New York Times bestseller list, and we got to celebrate that at the start of the show because there's always a good reason to pull out the confetti poppers. Shawn and Andrew joined us back in 2019 for our couples series AND you can find them in episode 5 of my TV show, I Gotta Ask. They are just such kind and wise friends who are navigating both parenting, marriage, businesses, and casually winning reality shows like Special Forces. You know we had to talk about it. . . . .  Thank you to our sponsors: AG1: Visit DRINKAG1.com/SOUNDSFUN to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1 Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last.

It seems that now, possibly more than ever, the world is pressing hard for us all to believe that truth is always subjective. The appeal, at least in part, is that if I personally believe something to be true and can get more people to agree with me than you can, then I get what I want because “my truth" is greater than "your truth". Now, to be fair, there are likely some things that hold true for my family that other families don't hold to. For example, it's true that everyone at our house has to eat their vegetables if they want any chance at some kind of dessert…. HOWEVER... that doesn't seem to be a truth held at a grandparent's household. In this way, one could argue that some truths aren't to be held so tightly. However, as we get into the books of 2 and 3 John, we're asking what it is to hold to divine truth, truths sourced in the very nature and authority of Jesus Himself, and what it looks like to hold to these truths. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "Maybe my offer just isn't good enough?" I've been there many times. It's frustrating and can really rock your confidence. It's easy to think that if people aren't buying, the answer is to create something new or continue to tweak what you already have to offer. The problem is that cycle usually keeps you busy without bringing in more clients. In this episode of Doing Business Like a Woman, you'll learn why consistency builds trust, why a confused mind will almost always say no, and the five simple steps I use to help women entrepreneurs create more consistent clients without constantly reinventing their business. I share: A gentle reminder that not buying isn't the same as rejection Why consistency matters more than constant improvement How to nurture relationships that naturally lead to sales Why making direct offers is one of the greatest acts of service you can provide If you're tired of trying to reinvent the wheel and ready to build a business that creates consistent clients, this episode is for you.

Questions about the idea that “Satan” is merely the propensity of humankind to commit evil acts, why Satan and the demons would want to keep storing up wrath for themselves if they know they'll be defeated, and whether a “spirit of divorce” can be carried from generation to generation.   What would you say to someone who believes that Satan is not a being but rather the propensity of humankind to commit evil acts? If Satan and the demons know they'll ultimately be defeated and tormented, why would they want to keep storing up wrath for themselves? I've heard Christians talk about a “spirit of divorce," but is that biblical, could it be carried from generation to generation, and does Exodus 20:5 support that view?

1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the motives. 3 Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. 4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh; they shall certainly not be unpunished. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil. 7 When a man's ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice. 9 A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps. 10 Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth. 11 Honest balances and scales are Yahweh's; all the weights in the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth. 14 The king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it. 15 In the light of the king's face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain. 16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul. 18 Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. 19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud. 20 He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed. 21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction. 22 Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly. 23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. 24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. 26 The appetite of the laboring man labors for him, for his mouth urges him on. 27 A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends. 29 A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good. 30 One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil. 31 Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness. 32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.

Caleb explores the idea of business as a divine calling rather than a mere means of personal gain. Drawing from a conversation with a colleague and insights from industry peers, Auman argues that entrepreneurship is a gift intended to serve others and provide meaningful work for employees. He details the importance of implementing structured systems, specifically mentioning Leanscaper, to transition from a chaotic manual workload to an organized managerial role. By viewing their talents as God-given responsibilities, contractors are encouraged to move beyond "hope" and instead set intentional goals to grow their organizations. Key Takeaways: View your business or daily work as a divine calling intended to serve others and provide dignity through employment. Implement clear operating systems and documentation to move from working excessive hours to having true control over your life and business. Transition to a servant leadership mindset by providing your team with clear incentives, responsibilities, and the tools they need to succeed. Replace vague hopes with intentionality by setting specific, measurable goals for revenue and growth. Commit to fully utilizing your natural talents and gifts to avoid the sin of wasting the potential you have been given. Connect with Auman Landscape

In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner takes you behind the scenes of her VIP day with Ed Mylett, from getting picked up on a dock in Portland, Maine to touring his private island, where within 15 minutes he told her something unexpected: you've already won, and you're allowed to stop here. But if you're going to keep going, don't half-ass it. This conversation matters because it challenges high-achievers to stop negotiating with their potential and commit fully to the expansive vision. Dr. Wigner opens up about the last 12 months that brought her to her knees, the pressure of being seen, nine months of internal battle, and the recalibration that looked like quitting but wasn't. It's a bold reminder that pausing isn't quitting; it's preparation for the next level.CHAPTERS:00:04 Welcome to Meant to Win01:17 Behind the Scenes with Ed Mylett02:30 The Decision to Fully Commit03:49 Navigating Growth and Pressure05:10 The Internal Battle and Recalibration06:27 Belief and Vision Execution07:50 Embracing Rest Without Stagnation09:49 Life Vision vs. Business GoalsKey Takeaway: Stop negotiating with your potential.

The prophecies of Zechariah are directed at the heart of the people.  He called them to repentance and urged them to commit their heart to God.  Throughout the book, we find revelations of the Messiah in both His first and second advent, with very specific details that unfold in the New Testament.  There are so many things that we can glean from this book: not just that Christ is coming again, Christ is King, and that in Christ there is salvation, but also that there are consequences for a people who turn their back on God.

We gain confidence in God by experiencing him personally. And that is possible because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. He is the holy one who did not see corruption. In Christ, we can say that God is our refuge and we will not be shaken.

The world is in turmoil, the days feel shorter, and no one truly knows what tomorrow holds. We can make plans to marry, to have children, to build a life... but the future belongs entirely to God. And yet that is not a reason for fear. It is an invitation to faith. Trusting God in the unknown is not passive resignation; it is faith in action, the same kind of faith that kept Jesus obedient to the Father's plan even when He walked toward the cross knowing exactly what lay ahead. Scripture gives us a gallery of people who chose trust over certainty and obedience over self-preservation. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked toward the fiery furnace without knowing whether God would deliver them, only knowing that they would not bow. Esther stepped before the king unsummoned, knowing it could cost her life, and said simply: if I perish, I perish. Daniel committed his way to God in a culture that demanded he abandon it. Each of them stepped into the unknown, and each of them found God already there. That is the promise of Psalm 37:5 — commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will act. The unknown is not empty. God occupies the past, present, and future simultaneously, and His thoughts toward you are good. Today's Bible Verse "Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and he will do this."— Psalm 37:5, NIV Ponder Today The unknown is not something to fear — God is already there. Because He is omnipresent, occupying past, present, and future simultaneously, there is no territory ahead of you that He has not already seen and prepared for. Trusting God in uncertainty is faith in its most active form. Esther, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not wait for guarantees before they acted in obedience. They committed their way to God and stepped forward anyway. Jesus lived each day in full obedience, knowing what lay ahead. He did not try to change the plan or avoid the cost. His example shows us what it looks like to trust the Father completely, even when the path is clear and the price is high. God has a way of turning our mess into a message and our tests into testimonies. Nothing you walk through is wasted in His hands. He receives glory through your endurance, and others are blessed by the testimony that comes out of your trust. Live each day as though it could be your last — with faith, not fear. The signs of the times call us not to paralysis but to purposeful, expectant living. Commit your plans to God, look up, and keep walking forward in faith. A Prayer for You Today Dear Righteous God, thank You for being my creator and redeemer. You are omnipresent, occupying the past, present, and future simultaneously, and You are omniscient, knowing exactly what my future holds. So I worship You, because Your thoughts toward me are good and Your plans for me are good as well. Help me have faith as I trust You with the unknown. Help me commit my ways to You and trust in the process, because You will bring it all to pass. There are so many things unfolding around me that I am tempted to lose focus, but I will live by faith and not let the worries of this world distract me from You. I trust You, Lord, and I commit my plans and my future into Your hands. Help me not to lean on my own understanding, but to acknowledge You and seek Your face. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Exodus 20:14

Krysta was talking business with her boyfriend Mike when it clicked: the reason her business feels un-takeable has nothing to do with the business itself — it's the personal brand underneath it. In this solo episode she breaks down why your reputation is the one asset that travels with you across every pivot, and hands you a framework to build it. In this episode we dive into:• Why your business is just a "container" — and your personal brand is the real asset• How founder-led marketing puts you in rooms you weren't invited to• A three-column exercise to find the personal brand hiding in plain sight• The four content lanes that turn your social media into your resumeThe Portable Reputation• Personal brand isn't the soft-girl morning routine or the iced-coffee photo dump — it's your portable, transferable reputation• Your businesses (the Fitness Fix, The Spread) are containers; the through line is how you think, notice, and communicate• "Clarity" was never about niching down forever — it means people understand the world you're building, and range stops feeling like chaos the moment you name the thread that connects itYour Instagram Is Your Resume• Krysta's finance-to-fitness-to-marketing path looks random on paper — but the through line made it inevitable• A gym she'd worked for DMed her to run their marketing after seeing her page — proof she was building an asset without realizing it• Founder-led marketing means becoming visible enough that people understand your values and POV before they meet you• Goldman Sachs projects the creator economy nearing half a trillion by 2027, with VC and PE now backing founder-led brandsBuild Something Portable• Give yourself permission to let your focus change — think next 12 months, not forever• FYX Tip: pair a "portable strength rep" with a "visibility rep" this weekYour Personal Brand Exercise (Want to build the three columns alongside Krysta? Jump to 31:49 in the episode- grab a sheet of paper, 20–30 min):Step 1 — Draw three columns.• Column 1: What you're already paid for or qualified to be paid for (job, business, role, credentials, degree)• Column 2: What people already come to you to explain (topics they've quietly ID'd you as the expert on — hiring, relationships, workouts, money, leadership)• Column 3: What you want to be known for in the next 12 months (not forever — just the next year)The overlap between Column 1 and Column 3 is where your personal brand lives: credible now, pointing where you're headed.Step 2 — Turn the overlap into four content lanes.• Point of view: your hot takes — what you notice, what people get wrong• Proof: the receipts — client results, your own story, lessons from past roles• Teaching: frameworks and exercises people can use• Human context: what makes you a person, not a robotStep 3 — Name your through line.The one thread that lets every topic make sense together (Krysta's: women becoming more of themselves). Then repeat it again and again — people won't connect the dots for you.Step 4 — Pick one platform. Not seventeen. Get good at one, then expand.Step 5 — Commit to creating. Start with one post a week, build to two, then three.This conversation reminds us that the person is harder to erase than the business. Whether you're a founder mid-pivot or an employee who knows the current role isn't forever, you leave with the framework and permission to build something no algorithm or layoff can take. No Such Thing for the week: there's no starting over from zero when people already know how you think.Looking for more?

In this solo episode of Workday Playdate, Erin explores why your intuition might be the most underutilized leadership skill you have. In a world obsessed with data and overthinking, Erin makes the case for trusting the wisdom you've already earned through experience. If you've ever ignored a gut feeling only to say, "I knew it," two weeks later, this episode is for you. Using cognitive science to practical exercises for better decision-making, Erin shares how to stop outsourcing your knowing and start using your intuition as a career superpower. Inside This Episode: Your Gut Is Smarter Than You Think: Erin unpacks the science behind intuition and explains why gut feelings aren't "woo-woo"—they're actually your brain processing years of experience, pattern recognition, and emotional intelligence at lightning speed. Why We Stop Trusting Ourselves: Somewhere between spreadsheets, stakeholder meetings, and requests for "more data," many of us learn to ignore our instincts. Erin explores how workplace culture often trains us out of self-trust—and why it's time to relearn it. Introducing the G.U.T.S. Framework: When you're stuck, uncertain, or under pressure, Erin shares her four-step framework for making better decisions by combining intuition with action: Get Quiet: Create enough space to hear what your intuition is trying to tell you. Uncover the Signal: Learn how to distinguish intuition from fear, anxiety, or overthinking. Trust the Move: Stop waiting for perfect certainty and commit to the next right step. Speak It Out: Turn internal knowing into visible leadership by confidently sharing your instincts with others. Intuition Is Thinking Quickly on Your Feet: Great improvisers don't succeed because they overthink. They succeed because they trust their first instinct, commit, and build from there. Erin explains why the same principle applies to leadership, communication, and decision-making at work. What to Do Now: Do a Gut Check: Identify three decisions or situations where you feel stuck. Ask yourself, "What does my gut already know?" and write down the first answer that appears. Practice the G.U.T.S. Framework: The next time you're facing uncertainty, walk through Get Quiet, Uncover the Signal, Trust the Move, and Speak It Out. Take One Intuitive Action: Choose one decision this week where your intuition serves as the primary input. Commit to the choice and notice what happens. Your Freebie You're calm, capable, and composed… until things take an unexpected turn (as they tend to do)! This is exactly why we created The Clarity Under Pressure Toolkit: What to Do in the First 5 Minutes of Any Uncertain Situation. It's your go-to guide for staying grounded when it matters most.

This week, we sit down with Conduit Discipleship Pastor Casey Kendall to explore the transformative adventure of faith and the vital importance of walking alongside others. Reflecting on his own unconventional journey, Casey highlights why partnering with fellow believers is essential for spiritual growth and how our commitment to mentorship creates a lasting, kingdom-focused ripple effect. Centering our conversation on Proverbs 16:3 "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established", we discuss how surrendering our personal ambitions to God and going all-in allows Him to anchor our efforts in purpose.

Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The One-Take Pro vs. The Strategic Option (00:00 – 04:28) Anne and Lau open the show with a live demonstration of a second vocal take, using the contrast to introduce the mechanics of audition submissions. Lau points out a frustrating trend in modern casting: talent who fail to read basic script directions. The bosses establish the baseline rules: if a spec specifies a take count, follow it explicitly. However, if the specs are silent, up to two takes is the generalized sweet spot. Lau addresses why some elite, seasoned pros refuse to submit more than one take, explaining that the bosses are choosing to lead with their definitive signature strength rather than forcing a weaker backup option. Chapter 2: The Pay-to-Play Dynamic & The Pizza Parlor Analogy (04:29 – 08:39) Anne highlights a massive operational difference that new talent overlook: submitting an audition to a vetted talent agent is completely different from submitting to an open marketplace or pay-to-play platform. Vetted agents listen to performances all day and can spot baseline acting technique instantly. On an open marketplace, however, you might be auditioning for a small pizza parlor owner who has zero casting experience and can't articulate what the bosses want. Anne and Lau explain why open platforms require talent to submit a secondary take to showcase their versatility, serving as a tactical safety net against poorly written casting specs. Chapter 3: The Danger of the Blind AI Market (08:40 – 10:24) Lau injects a sobering reality check into the conversation, highlighting the alarming rise of highly advanced, naturalistic text-to-speech models. She warns that on unvetted, lower-budget casting platforms, talent cannot even guarantee that the "client" or the competing files are human beings. Anne notes that while generative models are capturing a specific segment of the automated market, human actors retain the upper hand on projects that demand deep narrative comprehension and emotional subtext. Chapter 4: Script Editing & Protecting Your Labor (10:25 – 14:03) Anne outlines her exact tactical blueprint for handling long-format corporate or narrative copy on open casting sites. If a client provides a full two-minute script without specifying a take count, never record the entire script for multiple takes. Anne recommends recording the beginning section as Take One to establish a baseline. For Take Two, do not repeat the first paragraph; instead, cut to the middle or end of the script to highlight a completely different emotional arc or technical delivery. This approach showcases your artistic range while protecting your professional labor from being used without compensation. Chapter 5: The 5-Second Rule & Audition Commitment (14:04 – 16:16) The hosts tackle the widespread industry rumor that casting directors only listen to the first five seconds of an audio file. While five seconds is the standard timeline for initial screening and weeding out unvetted files, clients listen significantly longer once the bosses narrow their pile down to a shortlist. Anne warns talent to never drop their commitment or soften their acting choices after the opening sentence, explaining that a great performance must maintain structural logic and narrative focus through the very last word of the submission. Chapter 6: Nuance vs. Overt Pitch Shifting (16:17 – 20:34) Anne and Lau break down what a genuine vocal variation actually sounds like. Lau warns against the common beginner trap of changing your pitch or adopting a random regional accent for a second take. True variation is built entirely on subtext, relationship dynamics, and energetic shifts. Anne connects this directly to her upcoming presentation at VO Atlanta on Emotional Intelligence in Narration, explaining how changing your mental relationship to the listener—such as shifting from an authoritative corporate authority figure to an equal, peer-to-peer friend—naturally alters the breathing, rhythm, and melody of your voice without sounding forced. Chapter 7: The Alliteration of Longevity: Care, Create, and Change (20:35 – End) Lau delivers her definitive framework for vocal training: Care, Create, and Change. She challenges talent to probe their own motivations, asking themselves "Why am I saying this?" and "How can I make the listener care?" before they hit record. Anne and Lau conclude by reminding talent that a true creative professional focuses entirely on the value they can offer the client, rather than obsessing over personal validation or worrying about what a stranger thinks of their voice print. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Directions are your primary filter: No matter how incredible your vocal range is, failing to follow technical filename structures, take counts, or file formats in a casting spec will get you screened out instantly. Two takes is the universal sweet spot: If an audition notice is completely silent regarding the take count, provide two distinct, contrasting reads to maximize your opportunities. Only submit what you can master: If your secondary vocal option sounds rushed, messy, or structurally identical to your first take, do not include it. A casting director will instantly assume you lack self-direction. Marketplaces demand structural variation: Direct buyers on unvetted casting sites rarely understand vocal terminology. Use a secondary take to protect your business against inaccurate or confusing casting specs. Protect your long-format files: When auditioning with long narration or corporate scripts, never record the entire text for multiple takes. Read the opening for Take One, and select a compelling middle or closing section for Take Two. Commit through the final punctuation mark: While initial screening rounds are fast, decision-makers listen closely to your entire file once you make the shortlist. Maintain your psychological connection through the final second of the track. Ditch the basic pitch shift: Changing your pitch or forcing an artificial accent for a second take sounds gimmicky. Real variety is achieved by altering your internal subtext and changing your relationship to the listener. Map your target audience relationships: Treat your copy like a dynamic conversation. Shift your delivery by imagining different listeners: read once as a corporate consultant speaking to an executive, and read again as a peer offering advice. Build a personal toolkit of 10 tactics: Develop a reliable mental list of ten performance adjustments—such as altering your physical posture, shifting your internal energy, or adjusting your breathing pace—to execute variations quickly during live director sessions. Implement Lau's 3 Cs: Build your business foundation around three pillars: Care deeply about the text, Create a distinct, committed world for your characters, and be ready to Change your tactics on a dime when a client requests an adjustment.
