There's a clear trend in how people are shopping today. Consumers of all income levels are seeking out bargains, changing where and how they buy everyday goods - a Clark smart reaction to inflation & tariff effects. Also today - You may need a cure for what ails you, but don't trust medical ads you see online.

What if building wealth wasn't just about stacking dollars — but also stacking good deeds? In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy and OG sit down with Mel Dorman, a powerhouse real estate investor who turned humble beginnings (yes, dumpster diving beginnings) into a thriving portfolio of 34 rental units in just five years. And she didn't just build wealth — she built community along the way. From negotiating creative seller-financed deals to forging partnerships that benefit both investors and neighborhoods, Mel shares how real estate can be a tool for connection as much as for cash flow. You'll learn how she leverages relationships, uses alternative financing to scale quickly, and even flips properties without traditional bank loans — all while staying grounded in her mission to help others. But that's not all: Joe and OG also break down the latest Federal Reserve moves and what they mean for your wallet. And of course, Neighbor Doug drops by with his signature trivia to remind us that building wealth is serious business… but it's okay to have some fun while you're at it. What You'll Learn Creative ways to build wealth: How seller financing can unlock deals you never thought possible. The power of purpose: Why combining community impact with real estate investing is a winning formula. Real-world strategies: Mel's journey from zero to 34 units — and the lessons she learned along the way. How Fed rate changes affect you: What rising (or falling) rates mean for investors and homeowners. Financing myths busted: Why traditional bank loans aren't the only way to grow a portfolio. Points to Ponder: Could creative financing open doors for your investing goals? How might building stronger community ties improve your financial outcomes? Are you prepared for how interest rate changes could impact your next big money move? This episode isn't just a guide to real estate success — it's a reminder that money works best when it works for everyone. Grab a notebook, pour yourself something caffeinated, and join us for a conversation that just might change how you think about wealth building.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins 18. Jahrhundert, und sprechen über Lancelot Brown, jenen Mann, der das Antlitz Englands für immer verändern wird. Weg von den streng reglementierten Gärten der vorherigen Jahrhunderte, wird "Capability" Brown, wie er in die Geschichte eingehen wird, die Natur zum Vorbild der aristokratischen Gärten heranziehen. Dabei scheut er auch nicht davor zurück, Sümpfe trockenzulegen, ganze Seen anzulegen und zehntausende Bäume zu pflanzen. Ein Umstand, der ihn zwar zum Revolutionär des englischen Gartens macht, aber wie bei Revolutionen so üblich, nicht immer ohne Widerspruch. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG173: Der gefährliche Garten von Vaux-le-Vicomte – https://gadg.fm/173 - GAG464: Die Entstehung des Central Parks – https://gadg.fm/464 //Literatur - Jane Brown.

In this episode, Ruth and returning guest Jay Kim explore the intersection of technology and community within the church. They discuss the nuances of digital and in-person church experiences, the impact of the pandemic on church attendance and engagement, and the idea that “digital informs and analog transforms.” As always, they end by offering questions to ponder this week as it pertains to technology and community.   Questions to ponder this week:  What is the one barrier that keeps you from getting up and going and being with a church community? And then when you identify that barrier, is that barrier really worthwhile?   In our community, for our community, what is appropriate for digitized delivery, or technological delivery and what must be done in person to be effective?   We're back for Season 27, titled “Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age.” This season we have a special co-host, pastor, author, and podcast host Jay Y. Kim! Jay will be joining Ruth all season long to explore the impact technology is having on our lives with God, our attention span, our parenting, our community, and our creativity. Jay and Ruth will wrestle with their own questions and wonderings about finding balance in using technology in good and helpful ways while also acknowledging its challenges. This season aims to be gracefully thought-provoking, practically helpful, and ultimately hopeful and encouraging.   Jay Kim serves as lead pastor at West Gate Church in the Silicon Valley of California. He's the author of several books including Analog Christian, Analog Church, and Listen, Listen, Speak. Jay also hosts the Digital Examen podcast and much of his work focuses on the intersection of the digital age and spiritual formation.  Mentioned in the episode: Analog Church by Jay Y. Kim   Music Credit: Kingdom Come by Aaron Niequist Tender Moment from Music in Solitude   We're launching our first video series! On October 13 Ways of Praying will be available for purchase!

What began as an online magazine with product recommendations grew into FabFitFun, a membership that millions of women see as a quarterly act of self-care.In this episode with Lindsay Pinchuk, Katie shares how a 24-hour sellout of the very first test box set the stage for everything that followed: full-size products, full customization, members-only sales, and a thriving community where feedback shapes each season. Storytelling still drives it all, making every product feel personal rather than transactional.She also explains how FabFitFun became a launchpad for brands, using influencers and editorial reach to turn products, like OUAI's leave-in conditioner, into bestsellers. Flexibility is key—members can swap items or even entire boxes—building trust with every shipment.Katie doesn't shy away from the hard parts either, from a million-unit product recall to the operational lessons that came out of it.

What's the best thyroid medication to be on — NDT, T4, T3, or a combination? And how do you actually know what's right for your body? In this episode, I'm breaking down the nuanced art of thyroid optimization — from natural desiccated thyroid (like Armour or NP) to biosynthetic options such as Synthroid, Tirosint, and Cytomel. I explain why there's no one-size-fits-all treatment, what to consider if you have Hashimoto's, and how fillers, conversion issues, and reverse T3 can all impact how you feel. You'll learn how to spot when your thyroid meds need tweaking, why “natural” doesn't always mean better, and how to use your labs and symptoms together to guide your treatment. If you've ever felt confused about which thyroid medication is best or frustrated that your current dose isn't working, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and questions to bring to your next appointment — so you can finally get the right combination, in the right dose, for you.

Cash PT Trends 2025: What We Learned in Dallas + The New Industry Report In this episode, Doc Danny Matta and Yves Gege unpack takeaways from their Dallas live event and preview PT Biz's new Cash PT Industry Report. They cover what's working now across pure cash, hybrid, and out-of-network models; why continuity and small-group training are surging; and how the talent market is shifting as more solo owners choose to join established cash clinics. Quick Ask Help us move toward the mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to our profession: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny—he'll reshare it. Episode Summary From beginners to builders: PT Biz events now draw ~200 owners focused on scaling, not just getting started. No single “right” model: Cash-only, hybrid, out-of-network, Medicare-focused, and gym-like setups can all work—business principles drive success. Continuity is up: Many clinics now get 20–40%+ of monthly visits from recurring performance/wellness work—stabilizing revenue. Small-group training wins: Huge LTV and stick rate; still underused (only ~¼ of clinics are doing it). Talent trend: More solo owners are approaching larger cash clinics for roles with culture, mentorship, and intrapreneurship tracks. Reality check on pay: Compensation must tie to the revenue a provider can generate; entitlement ≠ value creation. Macro shift: Rising deductibles & wellness demand push all clinics to add self-pay services—cash PT is no longer fringe. Live Event Takeaways Owner mindset: Conversations have matured—hiring, leadership, profitability, systems, and scaling to $100k–$200k/month per site. Market fit varies: Geography, payer mix, and demographics dictate whether to stay pure cash, add OON, or blend Medicare. Community compounding: Member-to-member playbooks (what worked, what didn't) are often the most valuable part of events. The Industry Report: What to Watch Continuity growth: Bigger clinics show higher % of recurring visits, needing fewer new evals to fill schedules. Underutilized small groups: High demand among “post-injury but not gym-ready” clients; strong margins and retention. Diversified offers: Performance, strength, and longevity programs de-risk revenue and increase lifetime value. Small-Group Training: Why It Works Checks the boxes: Strength, mobility, accountability, and community—with clinicians nearby if issues arise. Cost-effective for clients: Often similar to PT weekly or personal training—but with better adherence and social glue. Team friendly: Therapists enjoy variety and fewer notes; can be delivered by PTs or trained coaches under clinical oversight. Career Pathways & The “Unemployable” Test Two good options: Go all-in on ownership or join a high-performing cash clinic as an intrapreneur (clinic director, partner track). Value first, then ask: Promotions/partnerships follow demonstrated impact, not tenure. Reputation compounds. Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Launch continuity now: Create 1–2 simple monthly options (e.g., strength + mobility; return-to-sport). Pilot a small group: 4–8 clients, 2x/week, 8 weeks. Price for value, track retention, collect testimonials. Map your model: List your market realities (Medicare, Tricare, local payer rates, boomer density) before choosing cash/hybrid. Hire from the doers: Prioritize applicants who've tried solo—“batteries included,” better respect for business realities. Benchmark & iterate: Compare your prices, packages, and continuity % to the industry report; fix one lever each month. Notable Quotes “There isn't one right model—principles win. Leads in, lifetime value up, recruit well, lead well.” “Continuity compacts the snowball. When 30–40% of your visits are recurring, everything gets easier.” “If you want stability without owning every problem, be an intrapreneur—create value, then opportunities chase you.” Action Items Download the Cash PT Industry Report and benchmark your prices, packages, and continuity %. Sketch a small-group pilot (who it's for, schedule, price, progression) and pre-sell 6–8 spots. Define two continuity offers with clear outcomes and a simple monthly cadence. Write a one-page model map for your area (payers, demographics, demand) and choose cash-only vs hybrid accordingly. Programs Mentioned Clinical Rainmaker: Systems to get you full-time in your clinic. Mastermind: Scale space, team, and operations. PT Biz Part-Time to Full-Time 5-Day Challenge (Free): Expenses, visit targets, pricing, 3 paths to go full-time, and a one-page plan.

What do you do when your body forces you to hit pause?In this episode, I share my recent battle with back pain that quite literally knocked me off my feet. From the frustration of not being able to move, to sitting with a spinal specialist and hearing words like ‘bulging discs', it's been a humbling reminder that none of us are invincible.I'll talk about the treatments I've considered, the mental rollercoaster of dealing with injury, and the gratitude I've found through support from family, friends, and my community. More than anything, this experience has shown me that setbacks can become powerful opportunities to learn, adapt, and move forward in a smarter way.If you've ever felt stuck by injury or just life, I think this conversation will give you some perspective you can carry into your own journey.Episode Timeline:0:00 – Episode Preview 1:32 – Podcast Intro2:43 – Back pain knocks me down3:25 – How it happened (ego lifting + deadlifts)5:10 – Living with pain and frustration7:15 – Overwhelmed by too many treatment options9:40 – “Even professionals get confused”11:30 – Nobody has it all together13:55 – MRI results explained simply16:20 – Considering regenerative medicine18:40 – Lessons in gratitude and ego22:30 – Training smarter with core stability26:00 – Injuries as opportunities to pivot28:45 – Learning to be vulnerable and ask for help30:45 – Community support and closing thoughts30:45 – Podcast OutroLinks & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoaching Book Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/

Just because the Community of Christ has a statement on non-violence doesn't mean the world is listening.  But they may be watching.  Non-violence has to be more than a statement. It has to be a way of life, and what better way to make it part of our lives than to start with spiritual practices. Minister Tyler Marz takes us through a meditation on nonviolence in this repost of a previous Awaken to God's Presence. As Community of Christ journeys together toward Jesus, the peaceful One. We hope you use this meditation to reflect on how God is calling you to participate in the work of nonviolence. Listen to other episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence Series. Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

How do we move from punishment to possibility? From cycles of incarceration to lasting opportunity? Join us for an urgent and inspiring evening as part of Commonwealth Club World Affairs' Social Impact Forum. "The Art of Second Chances" will highlight community-driven interventions—rooted in healing, education, and economic empowerment—that create real second chances and pave the way for collective liberation and greater public safety. Too often, people who fall into the justice system were overlooked in their youth, denied the opportunities, connection, and support they needed to thrive. The cost of that neglect shows up in families torn apart, communities destabilized, and lives lost to a system that punishes more than it heals. But there is another way. Our panel brings together changemakers from law, philanthropy, faith, and advocacy—alongside voices with lived experience—who are transforming systems through bold, community-rooted solutions. Together, they will explore how investing in people, not prisons can create safer, stronger, and more just communities. About the Speakers Mano Raju is the elected public defender of San Francisco.
