LeBron James just left the Lakers for a shot at one more championship with the 76ers, and JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson use that move to dig into a question every coach eventually faces: what do you actually do with a player who has more talent, or more influence, than anyone else on your roster?They unpack why coaches say nobody's bigger than the team but quietly lower standards the moment real talent shows up, what goes wrong when a superstar joins an established locker room without any groundwork, and why the best programs have the hard conversations about fit before signing day, not after.Whether you're managing one dominant player or an entire roster of big personalities, this conversation will change how you think about talent, standards, and what it costs to hold both at once.Chapters(00:00) Intro(01:41) Would We Take a LeBron?(03:46) When Personality Clashes With Culture(07:52) Sport and Context Matter(10:47) Every Problem Player Is Different(13:49) Where Coaches Go Wrong Early(18:09) Committing to Keep Talking(22:52) Finding Shared Purpose(26:14) Coaching the Team, Not Just the Star(29:25) Individual Identity vs. Team Identity(33:57) Doing the Work Before Signing Day(36:32) When the Coach Takes the FallTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."We say nobody's bigger than the team out loud, but when the rubber meets the road, we drop standards for the superstar."- J.P.

Episode #1181 A thriving relationship isn't built by one person. It takes two people choosing to create it together. In this episode of The TPM Show, Tim Matthews and Lawrence Davis explore what happens after you've started rebuilding trust in your relationship. Many men work hard to become better husbands by taking ownership, improving their habits, and showing up differently. But there comes a point when lasting growth requires both partners to actively participate. Tim shares a simple three-step framework for men who want to strengthen their relationship without losing themselves in the process. The conversation covers the importance of focusing on the relationship you want to create, taking full ownership of your side of the street, and committing to the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. Together, Tim and Lawrence also discuss why actions matter more than words, how honoring agreements rebuilds trust, and why healthy relationships require both partners to lead, follow, and support one another at different times. If you've been carrying the weight of your relationship on your own, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what true partnership looks like.

***Due to time constants, this episode is unedited. Day 20 was the last full day of evidence in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, and it was the strangest day of the whole five weeks.The morning belonged to Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, the forensic psychologist the Commonwealth hired to explain postpartum psychosis to a jury. On cross examination, Kevin Reddington established that Heilbrun last treated a patient with postpartum psychosis in 1982, has never published a word on it, wrote his only article on psychosis in 1977, and has been paid roughly $54,000 at $300 an hour.That same witness told jurors Lindsay Clancy committed what he called altruistic filicide. That she killed her three children out of love, so they would not be left behind or suffer without her after she took her own life. The prosecution has argued for five weeks that this was planned and methodical. Their own expert just told the jury it was despair.The afternoon belonged to Dr. Gregory Saathoff, forensic psychiatrist at the University of Virginia and a senior psychiatrist for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He gave that jury something no witness had given them in five weeks: a moment by moment account of how Cora, Dawson and Callan died, sourced entirely to Lindsay Clancy's own words. The refrigerator. The chicken nuggets. The 5:34 phone call. The voice. The order. And then he spent the rest of the day taking it apart.We go through the whole day in order, gavel to gavel, because the order is the argument.In this episode:The Monday mistrial motion, and why "mortal sin" has now been put in front of this jury twice.Heilbrun's direct: bipolar two, peritraumatic dissociation, and the eighteen minute problem. "Why the basement. Who among the children goes first. What do you say to the kids to keep them from panicking."The cross: 1982, the $54,000, the "beast" question, the day program in Rhode Island that would not take her, and Reddington standing behind Lindsay Clancy's wheelchair.Saathoff's five attacks on the voice, including the line that is going to end up in closing arguments: "Committing the act is not curative of the voice. I've not ever seen that."Why the chicken nuggets are contested evidence and not a poignant detail.The circus outside the courthouse, the livestream, and the TikToker the defense actually tried to put on the stand.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Four ways to refocus your life on Christ

Like 99% of companies are pushing AI.

Welcome to Season 5 of the Braving Business podcast.In this season premiere, co-hosts PJ Benoit and Tal Zlotnitsky dive into a challenge that quietly undermines almost every organization: how to lead effectively through human difference. Rather than treating differences in background, communication styles, generations, or perspectives as obstacles to manage or suppress, what if leaders treated them as dormant capital waiting to be mined?Joining the show are two co-authors of the book All the Difference: How Great Leaders Create Value From Diversity: Lt. Gen. Leslie C. Smith (Ret.), former 66th Inspector General of the U.S. Army, and Stuart Kliman, founding partner at Vantage Partners and alumnus of the Harvard Negotiation Project.From combat operations to Fortune 500 boardrooms and high-growth tech startups, Gen. Smith and Stu share why navigating difference is not an HR checklist or standard DEI policy—it is a core leadership capability called Difference Intelligence.Inside the EpisodeDifference as an Asset: Why modern teams are more difference-filled than ever, and how viewing friction as "dormant capital" creates real competitive advantage.Leadership Through Love (Agape): Gen. Smith shares why true military leadership is rooted in love, care, setting the conditions for success, and serving those you lead.The 6 Target Actions: An inside look at the actionable framework from All the Difference, including Knowing Yourself, Returning to Respect, Activating Honesty, Seeing the Full Story, Igniting Togetherness, and Committing to Action.The 4 Leadership Landmines: How default certainty, inconsistency, reactivity, and justification derail even well-intentioned leaders.The Living Case Study: How three distinct co-authors (a 3-star general, a corporate strategy expert, and an executive coach) lived through their own friction, debates, and diverse perspectives to write this book.Preparing the Battlefield for Decisive Action: How investing in trust and transparency ahead of time makes tough, decisive leadership choices stick when the stakes are highest.Notable Quotes"Difference is gravity. It's part of the human condition. Poorly managed, it undermines your success; well managed, it becomes a source of tremendous value." — Stuart Kliman"Those who lead must first serve. Leadership is about taking people not only to where they want to go, but beyond where they think they have the ability to go." — Lt. Gen. Leslie C.

Richard McGirr is the co-founder of Property Llama and Property Llama Capital, an income focused fund of funds sponsor that helps accredited investors turn underperforming real estate equity into passively managed, cash flowing investments. He also hosts Unlimited Capital on the Best Ever CRE network, where he covers capital raising, fund operations, and the business of building investment platforms. A lifelong entrepreneur, Richard started his first company in college and later spent eight years in China building a software engineering services firm to more than 85 employees. Wanting assets that worked for him instead of headcount, he moved into single family rentals and eventually partnered with Chris Lopez to launch Property Llama. Today his firm invests exclusively in debt funds, using a fund of funds structure to convert idle equity into contractual monthly income. Richard McGirr joins John to explain why so many long-term single family landlords are sitting on millions in equity while earning almost nothing in cash flow. Using data from roughly 6,000 rentals inside the Property Llama platform, where the average return is negative 1% cash on cash, Richard breaks down how a decade of appreciation and debt paydown quietly eroded return on equity. From there, the conversation turns to debt funds. Richard explains how hard money lending to flippers works, why six month loan terms and LTV cushions change the risk profile, and where the real danger sits. He also walks through the fund of funds structure behind Property Llama Capital, the fee discount he negotiated by committing scale, and the operational audit he runs on any lender before placing a dollar with them.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways  Re-underwrite your rentals at today's values, not your purchase price  Track return on equity, not just cash flow, as debt gets paid down  Debt funds pay contractual cash flow from day one, backed by an LTV cushion  Shorter loan terms shrink the window for things to go wrong  Fraud, not default, is the risk that wipes out lenders  Diversify across a loan pool instead of funding one deal at a time     Topics From Software Founder to Real Estate Investor  Built a software engineering services firm in China to over 85 employees  Left a headcount driven business in search of cash flowing assets  Partnered with Chris Lopez by adding value to an already established operator Why the Average Single Family Rental Returns Negative 1%  Roughly 6,000 rentals in the Property Llama system average negative 1% cash on cash  Rents are flat or falling while insurance, vacancy, and CapEx climb  Richard's own Colorado Springs rent fell about 30% after a supply wave The Return on Equity Problem  The education industry teaches investors how to buy, not how to reassess what they own  A property bought at a 7 cap can become a 3.5 cap when values outpace rents  80% LTV becomes 20% LTV, and returns slide from the high teens into single digits The Equity Rich, Income Poor Landlord  Typical client holds 3 to 8 rentals with several million in equity near retirement  Most target $10,000 to $20,000 a month and sit closer to $3,000  Cash out refinances no longer close the gap at current rates Debt Funds 101  A pool of performing loans secured by title on real property  Hard money lenders fund flippers who need high LTV and five day closings  Fully loaded returns run 15% to 18% including origination Why Hard Money Risk Is Structurally Lower  Six month terms limit what can go wrong versus a ten year horizon  A 25% LTV cushion rarely erodes inside six months  Single family homes are the easiest real estate asset to liquidate Fund Investing vs. Lending on Your Own  Private lending demands underwriting, fast closings, draw management, and workouts  A single Denver flip loan can require $1.3 million of capital  $100,000 into a fund buys a slice of 50 loans instead of one Lending Is a Real Operating Business  Lenders run origination, marketing, servicing, and accounting departments  On a 50 loan book, roughly 8% pays off every month and must be replaced  Richard's largest lender partner employs 40 people Building the Fund of Funds Model  Property Llama Capital launched asset light and headcount light by design  Raising capital for another sponsor's deal without a license is a serious violation  Committing $5 million earned a 30% fee discount, split evenly with LPs How Richard Audits a Lender  Request written credit box, servicing, and draw processes  Sample 20% of the loan tape and match a document to every step  Verify title at the county and confirm payoff wires in the bank account

After a devastating flood forced Chrishon Lampley to close her Chicago art gallery and wine bar, she turned that loss into the foundation for Love Cork Screw, a nationally distributed wine brand that has sold more than two million bottles.In this episode, Chrishon shares how she broke into the wine industry with no upfront capital, got her products into major retailers, and navigated the realities of building a consumer brand without millions in marketing dollars. She also reveals how a wine created in honor of her late father became the official white wine of the Obama Presidential Center, and what it took to rebuild after nearly losing the business again.Main TakeawaysA devastating setback, like losing a business to a flood, can become the foundation for something bigger if you keep moving forward.Building relationships and repeatedly asking for the sale, even after rejection, can open doors that money alone cannot.Chasing notoriety across too many markets at once can cost more than it earns; focusing on one market at a time builds real traction.Consistent, face to camera content can rebuild a business faster than relying on a marketing budget alone.Highlights Include[00:32] The flood that closed Three P's Art Lounge and led to Love Corkscrew[01:26] Becoming one of the first African American women with an on and off premise liquor license in downtown Chicago[05:58] Starting the Love Corkscrew blog as a way to heal after losing the gallery[11:14] Explaining what a negociant is and pioneering the term in the wine industry[17:30] Building Love Corkscrew from nothing through commission and consignment deals[24:41] The advice from Barefoot Wine's founders that changed her strategy[32:07] Losing her father and creating the Lampley wine line in his honor[35:00] Landing the deal to become the official white wine of the Obama Presidential Center[39:30] Running the Clink and Sip Festival and the Sipping Empower Foundation[44:29] Committing to daily social media consistency to rebuild the business in 2026Links Mentioned in This Episodelovecorkscrew.comthelampley.comWatch & ListenSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Social MediaInstagram: @lovecorkscrew Hosted on Acast.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, founder and CEO of the decision sciences company Decisive and author of The Human Edge: Smarter Decisions in the Age of AI. Cheryl has spent decades helping people make better decisions, and her message here is a simple one: AI can gather, summarize, and compare, but it can't know what matters most unless we do the thinking first. Andy and Cheryl talk about why "AI first" can quietly turn into AI only, and why a poor answer from AI is actually useful feedback about your own thinking. Cheryl explains why separating the what of a decision from the why can change the path forward, shares her vision of success question, and walks through how human bias and AI bias reinforce each other. You'll also hear a practical way to use AI personas to pressure test your thinking before a big stakeholder conversation, plus what parents can do to help kids strengthen their decision-making muscles instead of letting them atrophy. If you're looking for practical ways to make smarter decisions in the age of AI, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "AI is about patterns, but we're about purpose." "We need to be the chief deciders in our own life." "We need to make sure that we actually have a way to push back and check the veracity of what it's giving us because it's a known liar." "And so the authenticity of human interaction is what actually builds trust, strengthens relationships, and really gives us a lot of the connections that are important to us in our home life and our work life." "You don't need to have a perfect prompt for AI." "AI is going to give you other people's answers." "'Knowledge is power' isn't as true now. It's what you are able to do with the knowledge, and it's why you want to collect the knowledge in the first place." "I almost never would accept AI's first answer." "We tend to have evolving hypotheses unless we really build an audit trail of our thinking." "So in the world of medicine, a fever tells you something is wrong, but it tells you nothing about what is wrong or where to look." "So first we know AI's a sycophant, right?" "If it's 99% accurate in its conclusion, but its underlying data is the wrong data set, you've got the wrong answer." "I would say the more that I've studied these cognitive biases, these mental shortcuts, the more I realize that we see the world through a dirty windshield." "Our brains are muscles, and just like we exercise to strengthen our muscles, if we don't exercise, they atrophy." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Start of Interview 02:12 Growing Up Surrounded by Questions 04:30 What Leaders Should Watch Out for in "AI First" 07:07 When AI Confidently Makes Things Up 09:04 How AI First Turns into AI Only 09:20 Why Polished Doesn't Mean Authentic 11:59 A Prompting Problem or a Problem Definition Problem? 14:37 The Vision of Success Question 15:45 Why a Bad Answer Is Useful Feedback 19:06 Separating the What from the Why 20:32 Research: More Information Isn't Better Judgment 24:35 Progressive Prompting and Never Accepting the First Answer 25:18 Fabricated Quotes and the Trouble with Attribution 26:50 Documenting Assumptions and Building an Audit Trail 29:25 Committing to Your Own Thinking 32:29 How Human Bias and AI Bias Reinforce Each Other 34:55 Knowing About Biases Doesn't Make You Immune 36:51 Using AI Personas to Challenge Your Thinking 40:20 AI and Stakeholder Management 42:42 Helping Kids Become Better Decision-Makers 44:25 End of Interview 44:51 Andy Comments After the Interview 48:13 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Cheryl and her work at AREAMethod.com.

This week Elizabeth is riding out oppressive heat and apocalyptic wildfire smoke with real 2020 Flashback Energy, also included: a heroic 31-movies-in-31-days finish (two on the last day, no regrets), and the triumphant return of “cable,” which is not cable, but she'll take it. Turns out the real prize isn't the shows — it's getting to flip mindlessly between them again instead of Committing to a Title, our girl finds her rebellion in unique ways these days. Don't try to tell her what to watch in what order. Then she opens an unofficial case file on House Hunters and Beachfront Bargain Hunt: the couples who narrate their own house tours like they've never seen a bathroom before, and the husbands who will torch a family's actual bedroom count for a fancy grill they can “see themselves” using. The wives are holding it together by a thread and Elizabeth is, frankly, here for the drama.

In this episode, Heather continues her coaching series by bringing you inside a real coaching session with Elevate member Ashley Smith of Ashley Anita Photography. You can explore Ashley's beautiful work at https://ashleyanitaphotography.com/. Ashley has a creative idea to attract more clients through a signature session, but she's feeling stuck before she even begins. Together, she and Heather simplify the challenge, uncover the thoughts creating hesitation, and shift the focus from selling to serving. If you've ever had a great idea but talked yourself out of sharing it, this episode will help you move from overthinking to confident action. Key Takeaways:    Complicated thoughts create inaction. Simplifying the problem makes it much easier to move forward. Treat your ideas like experiments. You don't need certainty—you just need a willingness to test and learn. Don't let your current audience determine your future results. Growth begins when you start sharing consistently, not when you reach a certain follower count. Service is more powerful than selling. When you genuinely believe your offer helps people, marketing feels natural. Belief changes your energy. Confidence in yourself, your client, and your offer makes your message more compelling. One clear offer is more effective than endless overthinking. Simplicity creates clarity for both you and your clients. Marketing doesn't have to feel pushy. Inviting people to something valuable is an act of service. Consistency builds momentum. Committing to share your offer repeatedly gives it a chance to succeed. Abundance creates better decisions. When you aren't relying on one strategy to save your business, you can market with confidence instead of desperation. Action creates evidence. You'll never know what works until you're willing to put your idea into the world. How many incredible ideas have you talked yourself out of before anyone else had the chance to see them? The biggest obstacle to your next client may not be your marketing; it may be your thinking. One simple mindset shift can turn hesitation into action and ideas into opportunities. Press play and discover why simplifying the problem is often the fastest path to results. How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.

PHP Alive and Kicking – August 4, 2026 Hosts: Chris Miller (standing in solo while Mike is on holiday) Mike escaped to a beach so Chris hosts alone with special guest Derick Rethans. Expect date-time philosophy, PHP 8.6 goodies, Xdebug secrets, deprecation drama, and a heated debate about how to queue at a pub. From University Websites to Committing to PHP Derick traces his PHP origins back to his university days, building websites that needed database connectivity. ASP.NET was an option, but nobody wanted to pay for it — Linux was cool, and PHP was easy to start using. That combination hooked him early. His very first accepted contribution came from a practical need: everyone wanted centered Shockwave Flash films on their pages, back before CSS even existed. Centering meant knowing the width of a file, and while getimagesize() already existed (and still works today), it didn’t understand Flash. Derick added that support. From there he fell into bug triage, spending several years working through the issue tracker alongside Jani Taskinen (whose “Sniper” name still shows up in commit logs). For a long time it was just the two of them reproducing and fixing bugs — an important task that gets neglected easily, which is exactly how backlogs of a thousand issues and pull requests build up. The Eternal Problem of Date and Time Chris and Derick dig into why date-time bugs are so hard to triage: date algorithms are genuinely complicated, and it takes real time to figure out whether a report is a user’s mistake or an actual PHP bug. Crashes are easy to reproduce; subtle date arithmetic is not. The core philosophical question is “what does adding a month even mean?” If it’s January 31st and you add a month, PHP historically just bumps the month number, producing February 31st, which overflows to March 2nd or 3rd. But most people who add a month really just want the next month and don’t care about day counts — so “next month” is conceptually distinct from “add a month.” Derick has been brainstorming better interfaces so people can’t make these mistakes, though it’s a lot of work. They touch on Carbon as a unified interface people understand, but agree that making Carbon the language standard isn’t the right move. At the language level you need something that works for everybody and ideally doesn’t break existing code. What’s Coming in PHP 8.6 The first new time class is landing: a Duration object representing seconds and nanoseconds within a specific range, living in the Time namespace. It’s a trial run for new APIs and immediately useful — for example, passing a duration to sleep or to timeouts in the new polling API, rather than juggling raw integers. Another highlight is partial function application. With the pipe operator from 8.5, piping into anything that takes more than one argument meant wrapping it in a closure (and extra parentheses because of how the parser works). Partials let you pre-fill some arguments so the resulting callable accepts just one — perfect for pipelines. There’s also TLS session resumption support for streams, which lets OpenSSL shortcut the expensive session setup on repeated TLS connections. Bigger stream-layer work by Jakub Zelenka of the PHP Foundation is underway too, but that’s a huge job on old code and won’t make 8.6 — Chris and Derick both note the pain of keeping a year-and-a-half-long project in sync with the master branch. Xdebug in 8.6 and the Xdebug Cloud Xdebug’s recent headline feature (shipped with 8.5) is native path mapping, which lets you configure remote-to-local path mappings inside Xdebug itself instead of your IDE — handy when your code runs in Docker or on a dev machine. Feedback since release is driving quality-of-life improvements. For 8.6, relatively little is broken, though a change to how PHP reports line numbers needs untangling so debugging stops on the correct lines. Derick also has a new code-coverage implementation that gives better, more correct results at roughly a 10% speed cost. He’d rather ship correct output than fast output — and points out that PHPCov may be quicker but skips path and branch coverage entirely. The pair discuss how branch coverage doubles your test count at every branching point, and how Xdebug has a hard limit (around 64K) to avoid running out of memory on pathological code. Finally, Chris asks about Xdebug Cloud — a paid service that enables debugging where networking otherwise wouldn’t, such as remote teams sharing a single development machine (an SSH tunnel only lets one person listen on the debug port). It’s £15/month or £150/year for an individual, priced similarly to Packagist’s private packages, and helps fund Derick’s ongoing Xdebug work. He plans to do more marketing about it this year. Deprecations, Consensus, and Two-Thirds Votes Every year PHP collects a big list of deprecations — around 20 to 25 this cycle — voted on separately. Derick is more reluctant than most to approve them, arguing many offer no clear user benefit. His examples: deprecating metaphone() (whose suggested Composer replacement ironically relies on the internal function) and the dechunk filter (which can’t really be removed because HTTP streams use it internally). The list() deprecation is another sore point — Chris uses it, and the vote is tied 21–21 with one abstention, so it won’t pass under the two-thirds rule. Derick reminds everyone that “yes” needs to be twice “no.” Returning from a finally block is another candidate that makes little sense to use but hurts nothing to keep. Chris and Derick reflect on how voting was originally meant to confirm consensus reached on the mailing list, not to be the decision itself. A 50%+1 result isn’t consensus; two-thirds is the compromise, even if true 75–80% agreement would be ideal. Joe notes many deprecations are groundwork to reserve keywords for future RFCs — which raises the perennial question of how you measure real-world usage across Composer’s dependency chains. Infrastructure, the Website, and the Next Generation The PHP infrastructure has been converted to an Ansible-based repository over the last year and a half (largely by Derick, with help from Joe), replacing a wild mix of individually maintained servers — one was still running FreeBSD 4.3. They’ve also migrated to a new CDN, which brought surprises: a default one-month cache, ignoring the query string in cache keys, and even dark/light mode being an organization-wide setting rather than per-user. On the website side, everything currently lives in a single root directory of 1999-vintage code, and there’s a long-pending patch to restructure it. The PHP Foundation’s ambassadors program — with speaking, marketing, and research streams — aims to make the very techy php.net homepage speak to CTOs and newcomers about who uses PHP and why it’s a thriving project (only 31-ish years old, versus C’s 60). The conversation closes on caretakers and the next generation of contributors. Triage, they stress, doesn’t require deep internals knowledge — just reading reports to see if they still make sense is hugely valuable. Security and infrastructure access necessarily stay gatekept for trust reasons, and both agree a bus factor of one (or even two) isn’t good enough. Chris admits he’s struggling to name people who are both nice and know infra.

Government contracting success rarely comes from winning the first bid, it comes from patience, preparation, and knowing who to build relationships with. In this episode, roofing and construction contractor West Edwards shares the hard lessons he learned entering the federal marketplace, from the slow cycle time before landing his first real job to why protecting your business from unexpected costs matters as much as chasing new work. If you are new to government contracting or thinking about breaking in, this conversation lays out what to expect and how to prepare. Key takeaways from this episode: Why patience and a longer cycle time are normal when breaking into federal contracting for the first time How West landed his first government job at MacDill by using video and photo documentation to stand out from other contractors on site Why understanding your role versus your GovCon or Alchemy partner's role is critical to using those resources effectively Why building relationships with general contractors and prime contractors matters more than trying to win contracts directly How to plan for unexpected costs and delays before they happen so your business stays protected Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Writing down a genuinely honest goal can feel embarrassing, even alone in a room.   Reading a goal list out loud to two confused dogs became the first real step toward making it happen.   Committing fully to a big goal all at once often feels too risky to attempt.   Testing small steps, with permission to retreat if needed, made real change possible without requiring instant certainty.   Saying a scary goal out loud is often the real first step, long before any plan comes together.

Episode Title: Be Anxious for Nothing: Cultivating Trust in a Worried World Join hosts Sheldon N. Volk (Shelley) and June (Juni) for the conclusion of this week's series on anxiety. In a world full of turbulence and reasons to worry, For Zion's Sake dives deep into the ultimate scriptural antidote to panic: unconditional trust and cultivated faithfulness in God. From the prison cells of Philippi to the timeless wisdom of missionary Hudson Taylor, this episode provides a vital roadmap for shifting your focus away from shifting circumstances and anchoring your mind securely in the perfect peace of the Lord. Key Takeaways: The Weight of Worry: Recognizing that the biblical definition of anxiety is a literal "weighing down" of the heart, which frequently opens the door to depression among believers. Cultivating Faithfulness: A look at faith as a fruit of the Spirit that must be nourished and tested to grow. Just as Abraham trusted God without hesitation through his greatest trials, our faith is actively cultivated during difficult seasons. The Power of Praise in the Midnight Hour: Reflecting on Paul and Silas, who chose prayer and worship over panic while chained in a prison cell, resulting in a supernatural breakthrough and salvation for those around them. The Hudson Taylor Principle: Embracing the freedom that comes when we hand over our work, plans, families, and lives entirely to God—leaving nothing left to worry or fret about. Perfect Peace (Shalom Shalom): A breakdown of the Hebrew repetition of peace in Isaiah, proving that double-measure peace is guaranteed exclusively to those who keep their minds firmly established on Him. Featured Bible Passages: Philippians 4:6-7 – "Be anxious for nothing..." and the peace that guards your heart. Proverbs 12:25 – How anxiety weighs down the heart of man. Psalm 55:22 – Casting your burdens on the Lord to be sustained. 1 Peter 5:7 – Casting all your care upon Him because He cares for you. Psalm 37:3 – Trusting in the Lord, doing good, and cultivating faithfulness. Acts 16 – Paul and Silas praising God at midnight in prison. Isaiah 26:3-4 – Keeping the firmly established mind in perfect peace (Shalom, Shalom). Psalm 32:10 – Mercy surrounding those who trust in the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trusting the Lord with all your heart and leaning not on your own understanding. Psalm 125:1 – Becoming unmoved like Mount Zion. Psalm 31:1-5 – Committing your spirit into the hands of the Lord, our rock and fortress. Jeremiah 17:7-8 – The man who trusts in the Lord being like a tree planted by the waters that does not fear drought. Nahum 1:7 – The Lord as a stronghold who knows those who trust in Him.

"Not everything your body is telling you is a symptom that needs to be fixed. Sometimes it's grief." In this episode, Heather shares a deeply personal reflection on what happens when you outgrow the pain, patterns, and identities that once helped you survive but no longer support where you're going. She explores the uncomfortable process of letting go of old stories, relationships, expectations, and the versions of ourselves we've worked so hard to become. From business lessons and the cost of giving away your own authority to the grief that surfaces when your body finally feels safe enough to release what it has been holding, this episode is an honest exploration of healing, growth, and reinvention. What to listen for: ☑️ The story of "I don't know how to market myself," and how Heather lost her voice ☑️ Why women sabotage themselves through overdoing and taking on too much ☑️ Outsourcing your confidence and intuition, and trusting when things feel off   "I've had a vision of making a bigger impact. It hasn't happened. The reason why it hasn't happened is that I went down a rabbit hole believing other people could solve my problem because I believed their words, not their behavior." ☑️ Investing in the people who are actually in the arena, truly doing their own work ☑️ Sticking with things long enough to allow them to start gaining momentum ☑️ If you don't want to do the hard work in business, then get a job   "Hiring marketing people for my team and then outsourcing my power and my confidence in them cost me so much fucking money, and it almost killed me." ☑️ Listening to your body when it starts communicating that something isn't right ☑️ The reason why the Universe puts things in front of your face until you're ready to listen ☑️ Why our grief is often about who we were when we were with the ones we lost   "When I looked at those panic attacks, I kept thinking, 'What is this?' I truly believe that my body was letting go because it felt safe in the middle of the night. That was when I was at rest, and it was letting go of these old stories." ☑️ Committing to no longer struggling and being done with people who don't show up ☑️ Time under tension triggers disease, which is why it's essential to process your feelings ☑️ When you deeply trust yourself, life challenges start to feel less scary *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

In this episode, Michael and Mircea dig into one of the biggest offensive upgrades in modern pickleball: the two-handed backhand dink. Mircea, a former tennis and squash player, shares what it's like to relearn a shot as a high-level competitor, while Michael reflects on his own journey picking up the "twoie" back in 2023. Together they break down technique, drilling strategy, and how the shot shows up differently depending on where you are on the court. Why the two-hander matters: How the two-handed backhand dink has gone from a rare, cutting-edge shot to the default among younger and female players, and why it opens up so much more offense than the traditional one-handed slice dink. Starting from scratch: Mircea talks about the mental hurdle of deconstructing a shot he'd already found success with, and the discomfort of being a beginner again at a high level of play. The wall drill: Both hosts recommend starting with 30 to 45 minutes hitting left-handed dinks against a wall to build footwork and spin before ever adding the second hand. Footwork over everything: Why leg drive and getting under the ball matters more than arm mechanics when learning the shot. Paddle angle debate: Michael and Mircea compare notes on paddle tip position (angled up vs. dipped down) for different types of dinks and speed-ups. Shot placement on speed-ups: Guidance on where to target speed-ups (down the line, into the body, or cross-court into the hip/belly button) and why cross-middle speed-ups are usually a mistake. Timeline for improvement: Expect two to four weeks minimum of discomfort, with real integration into games often taking two to three months or longer. Pro-level examples: References to Anna Leigh Waters, Anna Bright, Hayden Patrick Quinn, Jack Sock, JW, and Ben, illustrating different ways the two-hander is used (or intentionally not used) at the highest levels. Senior pro trends: Why more women are bringing the two-hander into senior pro play, and how it's slowly gaining ground among men on that circuit. Don't neglect your strengths: A reminder to keep drilling bread-and-butter shots (like the one-handed slice dink) even while building a new weapon, since the one-hander still matters for reach, resets, and defense. Right-side situations: How the two-handed backhand shows up less often at the net when playing the right side, but becomes more relevant in the transition zone and on third-shot drops. Michael gives a shoutout to CRBN Pickleball's new backpack and his Barrage elongated paddle. Listeners can use code 402P at checkout for 10% off at carbonpickleball.com. Committing to a two-handed backhand dink is a long-term project, not a quick fix. Drill it deliberately (wall work, tossed feeds, transition zone reps), keep using it in real games even while uncomfortable, and don't abandon the shots that already work while you build the new one.

For years, chronic fatigue, joint pain, and skin issues can leave you feeling unheard, especially when your labs come back "normal." This episode explores why standard testing often misses the inflammation quietly driving those symptoms, and shares practical, faith-based steps for supporting your body through natural means. This episode is for the Christian woman who is tired of guessing at what's wrong and trying remedy after remedy with no real answers. She's done more research, tried more things, and asked more questions than most people around her — and she's ready for real, grounded next steps instead of more guesswork. What Inflammation Actually Is Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, illness, or something foreign like germs, toxins, or chronic stress. It's a necessary part of healing, but when it becomes chronic, it can quietly contribute to exhaustion, autoimmune conditions, and a long list of health struggles that don't always show up clearly on a standard lab panel. Why Conventional Labs Don't Always Tell the Full Story Many common lab tests weren't designed to catch the subtler imbalances that functional and naturopathic practitioners often look for. After personal health struggles, including a painful skin flare-up back in 2019, a functional medicine evaluation revealed significant nutrient deficiencies and gut health issues that standard testing had never flagged. This isn't a claim that conventional labs are  wrong. It is a reminder that they don't always capture the whole picture, and that seeking additional wisdom and information is a reasonable, faithful step toward better health. A Personal Turning Point Before making dietary changes, weight had dropped to 90 pounds from confusion over what to eat, and topical steroids were part of daily life. Committing to a gut cleanse, adjusting diet, and addressing nutritional deficiencies changed the trajectory entirely. Today, medication use is rare, energy is strong, and daily life includes working, homeschooling, and staying active. This isn't shared to boast, but as a testimony to what became possible through seeking God's wisdom for the body He designed. Practical Ways to Support Your Body Through Inflammation Several approaches have made a real difference over time: Fish oil has supported joint comfort, particularly easing stiffness that once caused a thumb to lock in place. Diluted, raw apple cider vinegar with the mother has helped calm flare-ups of heat and inflammation, especially in the hands. Warm baths with calming essential oil blends offer a simple way to unwind and support the body's stress response. Prioritizing seven to eight hours of sleep, rather than the four to six hours once considered normal, has made a noticeable difference. Prayer and quiet time with God, including learning to sit in silence and actually listen for His response rather than treating prayer as one-sided, has become a foundational stress-management practice. Breathing techniques, such as the physiological sigh and box breathing, offer accessible tools for calming the nervous system in stressful moments. Addressing emotional health through counseling, retreats, and community with other women has been just as important as physical remedies. Reducing toxic exposure by switching to cleaner personal care products has, for some, led to real improvements in symptoms like migraines and allergies. None of these are presented as a cure-all. They are pieces of a whole-person approach that honors both the body's design and the wisdom God provides through it. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — Why standard labs may not catch what's really going on in the body 00:23 — What inflammation is and why it happens 00:52 — The limits of conventional testing and the rise of functional medicine 02:17 — A personal story of lab results, gut health, and a turning point in 2019 04:36 — How addressing nutrition changed a health trajectory 05:06 — Introduction to practical, natural ways to reduce inflammation 05:34 — Fish oil and joint support 06:01 — Apple cider vinegar for flare-ups 06:56 — Baths, sleep, and prioritizing rest 07:25 — Prayer as a two-way conversation with God 09:10 — Breathing techniques for stress relief 09:40 — Emotional health, counseling, and community support 10:37 — Calming teas and daily stress tools 11:03 — Toxic personal care products and their hidden effects Key Takeaways Chronic inflammation often has more layers than a single lab panel can reveal. Staying curious and asking questions is a wise, faithful response, not an overreaction. Healing is rarely one single fix. It tends to come through small, consistent choices across nutrition, rest, stress, and spiritual life. Prayer is meant to be a conversation, not a monologue. Leaving room to listen can be as valuable as the words spoken. Real change often starts with choosing just one or two practical steps rather than trying to overhaul everything at once. Your body was designed with intention. Learning to understand it, rather than fight it, is part of stewarding the health God has given you. Ready for Your Next Right Step?

Built for Life Newsletter: https://builtforlife.io Twice-weekly emails for high performers who want to look good, feel great and perform at their best    Book a 1-1 strategy session: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/ytapplynow    –   On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Dr. Margi Patel, a dentist and mum living in the state of Georgia in the US, who is nine months into her journey with RNT and so far over 60 lbs down. She's on a truly remarkable journey of changing her habits, her lifestyle, her mental health, and her overall well-being.   For Margi, the trigger that hit home was seeing an HbA1c of 6.4 in a lab test. The moment she saw that number, she couldn't sleep all night, and shortly after, she came across RNT and knew it was the solution to get her back on track. Fast forward eight months, and not only is she 60+ lbs down, but her labs now show an HbA1c of 5.1, which is genuinely life-changing and life-extending, as she's avoided diabetes through this journey.   Margi's checkpoint is coming up in the next couple of months, so this is part one of her story, as we're still en route to that milestone, and I'm excited for her to reach it. What's especially cool is that only a few months into her first year, Margi committed to her second year, and recently committed to her third, knowing the power of the long-term journey with us at RNT. She's here for the full multi-year, five phase experience, not just to get in shape and move on.

Gene Zannetti talks with North Carolina state champion Jacob Hudgins about two confusing midseason losses that pushed him to start mindset training just weeks before states, how playing it too safe and trying to protect an undefeated record actually cost him those matches, how staying calm while sensing his opponents were uptight gave him a clear edge at the state tournament, and his decision to continue wrestling at Lander University.Timestamps:1:29 - Started the season undefeated, then lost two matches that blew his mind2:30 - Realized late in the season he needed mindset training before states3:29 - Playing it too safe to protect an undefeated record cost him those losses4:09 - The tools that helped: a consistent routine, chewing gum, and a cross on his shoe6:19 - State tournament: staying calm and relaxed while noticing opponents were uptight7:50 - Committing to continue wrestling in college at Lander University9:23 - Working with his mindset coach to fix getting tired in third periods10:56 - Extra conditioning work: getting his mile under six minutes and two and a half extra hours a week

In this episode of The Addictive Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Dr. Brody Miller, a brain rehabilitation researcher and author of Brain Rescue. Dr. Brody shares his incredible journey from suffering a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and deep addiction to uncovering the life-changing power of Neuroplasticity.They dive into the invisible link between brain trauma and substance abuse, how mindfulness physically rewires brain structures, and why massive life transformation actually starts with tiny, everyday "pinky moves."Key TakeawaysThe TBI & Addiction Connection: Research shows that individuals who experience brain injuries or trauma have a significantly higher propensity toward addictive behaviors. When the brain isn't functioning properly, it struggles to produce stable mood-regulating neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin), leading individuals to self-medicate.The Power of 56 Days: Dr. Brody highlights a Harvard study demonstrating that just 56 days of consistent meditation can physically alter the structure of the brain, lowering stress and improving concentration.The Brain Only Cares About Repetition: The brain doesn't differentiate between positive or negative habits; it simply reinforces whatever path you repeat. Whether it's taking pills or going for a walk, repetition builds neural superhighways.Accountability Over Shame: Healing requires looking honestly at your current reality without letting shame keep you stuck. Swallowing the hard pill of accountability is the first step toward building a new identity.Neuroplasticity in Practice: The Power of "Pinky Moves"If you feel overwhelmed by the idea of changing your life, Dr. Brody emphasizes taking micro-steps rather than trying to climb the mountain in one day.Interrupt the Default Mode Network: Humans have a natural negativity bias wired for survival. You can begin to interrupt these automatic negative thoughts simply by shifting your internal self-talk.Combine Thought with Action: True neural change requires backing up your thoughts with behavior. Your brain will "call BS" on positive thinking if it isn't paired with action.Start Small: Dr. Brody recommends James Clear's Atomic Habits. Committing to a simple 10-minute walk or 5 minutes of breathing exercises daily creates an upward spiral of positive momentum.Words of Wisdom"Just because you feel this way today does not mean that you have to feel this way for the rest of your life. If you start to make small changes, I promise you—from someone who has lived exactly what you're going through—you can start today and make a big change over time." — Dr. Brody MillerResources & Links MentionedBooksBrain Rescue by Dr. Brody MillerAtomic Habits by James ClearBreaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe DispenzaThe Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce LiptonThe Answer by John AssarafPrograms & ConnectAddiction Rescue Course: Addiction Rescue Team (A neuroscience-backed recovery program co-created with Sean David Cohen).Website: Dr. Brody Miller Official WebsiteInstagram: @Dr.BrodyMillerFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.
