Courage. Good with people. But he couldn't monetize any of it. So he got obsessive. He studied copywriting from every blog and book he could find. He showed up to Toastmasters every single week for a year. He ran webinars just to get reps in. The feedback came. People wanted more. Confidence followed. That grind, skill stacked on top of skill, was already generating millions before School of Greatness ever had a name.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 Eps 10+11 Recap RuPaul's Drag Race season 18 brings double the drama as hosts Beth Dixon and Aman Adwin recap episodes 10 and 11, diving into a design challenge packed with strategy and creative chaos, and a roast that tests the queens' wit. With tributes to Safety Pin Gate and special appearances by Alyssa Edwards and guest judge Iman, the season's competition intensifies as frontrunners and wildcards jockey for a spot in the finals. Beth and Aman break down the queens' approaches to the design challenge, where contestants must create looks from materials left by eliminated queens—sparking heated debate over Discord's controversial use of safety pins and the blurring line between cleverness and rule-bending. The hosts explore the shifting winner's edit and why Jane, despite her dominance, may not have the crown secured, as they weigh in on the production's preference for dynamic story arcs over clear steamrolls. Catch analysis of stand-out performances in the roast, where each queen faces the challenge of landing jokes and building characters, and how moments of self-doubt and bold reinvention shape the competition. Beth and Aman's insights and highlights: Discord's rule-pushing “Safety Pin Gate” and the panel's debate on what counts as fair innovation Jane's patchwork gown that turns sabotage into strategy, igniting conversation about editing and winner equity Darlene's roast performance that leans into wackiness, showing the value of owning one's nerves on stage Reflections on Juicy's growth journey through the lens of her lip sync assassin status—and why personal struggles matter in the Werk Room A thoughtful conversation around Nini's social navigation, neurodivergence, and group dynamics among queens As the queens prepare for the cowboy-themed makeover, Beth and Aman question whose drag can truly translate and wonder if Discord's brand of disruption will carry her further.

In today's ID The Future, guest host Eric Anderson welcomes medical engineer and scientist Rob Stadler to begin a two-part discussion about the critical need for a new approach to evaluating the strength of evidence in science. Drawing from 30 years of experience in a field where lives depend on rigorous regulatory standards, Stadler explains how he developed six criteria to distinguish between high-confidence and low-confidence scientific claims. These criteria evaluate both the quality of the experiment and the quality of the scientist. This is Part 1 of a two-part discussion. Source

In this solo episode, Michael Blank introduces a powerful strategy designed to help aspiring syndicators overcome the biggest obstacle in real estate: getting your first deal done. While most first deals take 6–12 months, Michael explains how you can dramatically accelerate your learning curve by running a “Live Sample Deal”—a simulated real-world acquisition that walks you through the entire process in just seven days.By analyzing a real property, speaking with brokers, building your team, and even negotiating an offer, you gain the experience and confidence needed to pursue actual deals. This practical exercise helps eliminate fear, expand your comfort zone, and move you significantly closer to closing your first multifamily investment.Key TakeawaysThe first deal changes everything — once you close a deal, brokers, investors, and opportunities start coming to you.Most first deals take 6–12 months, but you can accelerate your learning through a simulated “Live Sample Deal.”Confidence comes from action, not just education—walking through the full deal process builds real-world experience.Simulating a deal removes fear, especially the fear of making offers or raising capital.Running a sample deal can get you roughly 80% of the experience of doing a real transaction.Expanding your comfort zone is key—what once felt impossible (like a 50-unit deal) quickly becomes achievable after practicing the process.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael BlankFor full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session515/

One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to showing up online is this: “How do I know if I'm being authentic… or if I'm oversharing?” Where is the line between vulnerability and trauma dumping? In this episode, I'm breaking down the balance between being raw and real while still protecting yourself and your credibility. Because here's the truth: Authenticity builds connection. But not everything belongs on the internet. I share how I built my brand by documenting my process of becoming — from recording podcast episodes in my car while broke and exhausted with two kids, to building a global personal brand and loyal audience. You'll learn how to share your story in a way that creates connection, trust, and authority without feeling like you're exposing every part of your life. This episode is for you if you're: • Scared of what people will think online • Worried you're sharing too much • Holding yourself back from being seen • Trying to build a personal brand or business • Learning how to tell your story with power Inside this episode we talk about: • The difference between sharing from a scar vs sharing from a wound • How to know if you're oversharing or actually not sharing enough • The storytelling method I call zooming in vs zooming out • Why perfection erodes connection • How vulnerability builds loyalty and community • The question you must ask before sharing anything online At the end of the day, your story is yours. And when you learn how to share it intentionally, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you have to connect, lead, and serve others. In This Episode • Authenticity vs oversharing • Building a personal brand online • Vulnerability and storytelling • Trauma dumping vs healed sharing • Personal branding and content creation • Confidence and showing up online Chapters 00:00:00 The Authenticity Strategy That Built My Brand 00:00:29 Welcome to the Confidence Chronicles 00:01:25 The Number One Question About Showing Up Online 00:03:13 When Fear Holds You Back From Being Seen 00:04:19 My Broke, Breastfeeding, Car Podcast Origin Story 00:06:51 When You Have Nothing Else But Your Story 00:07:57 The Loyal Cult-Like Following I Built Through Sharing 00:12:23 Document Your Process of Becoming 00:14:20 Getting Metaphorically Naked on the Internet 00:17:01 The Zoom Out Strategy for Professional Boundaries 00:22:08 The Scar vs The Wound: When to Share Your Story 00:25:49 Intent Is Everything When Sharing Vulnerability 00:30:11 Know Your Audience and What They Need to Hear 00:33:12 The More You Zoom In, The More They Come Closer 00:34:04 Being Imperfect Is Part of My Brand 00:34:42 Thank You for Letting Me Into Your World Connect With Erika

¿Eres introvertido o extrovertido? Y más importante todavía… ¿eso importa para aprender inglés? Buena pregunta. Porque mucha gente piensa que si eres introvertido, aprender a hablar inglés va a ser más difícil. Pero… ¿es realmente así? Bueno, voy a contarles un secreto: yo soy extremadamente introvertido. En la escuela, casi nunca hablaba con otras personas. Era muy tímido; prefería pasar tiempo con un libro o caminando en la naturaleza en vez de ir a una fiesta o pasar tiempo con un grupo de personas.  Y eso es difícil de creer ahora, porque llevamos más de diez años enseñando inglés y ¡hablando con miles de estudiantes! Exacto. ¡Y aprendiendo muchos idiomas por medio de la conversación también! Pero para llegar a eso, tuve que practicar cosas que, honestamente, iban en contra de mi personalidad natural. Hoy vamos a hablar de dos habilidades blandas que parecen muy complicadas para los introvertidos, ¡pero no son imposibles! En el episodio de hoy vamos a dar unos consejos muy prácticos para mejorar tus habilidades conversacionales, así que ¡no te lo pierdas!   Recuerda que todos los recursos para este episodio, incluyendo la transcripción, la tabla de vocabulario y ejercicios para repasar el aprendizaje, están disponibles en nuestro sitio web.  Haz clic en este enlace para ver todos los recursos para este episodio:   https://inglesdesdecero.ca/252 ----- Dale “me gusta” a nuestra página en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inglesdesde0/ ----- Síguenos en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ingles.desde.cero/ ----- Suscríbete en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@inglesdesdecero145 ----- Aprende inglés con nativos que se formaron en su enseñanza. ¡Visita nuestro sitio web, https://inglesdesdecero.ca/ para inscribirte y seguir todas nuestras lecciones! __No dejes pasar esta oportunidad con Shopify y regístrate para un período de prueba por solo un dólar al mes en shopify.mx/desdecero Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Gospel John 4:43-54 At that time Jesus left [Samaria] for Galilee. For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place. When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast. Then he returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death. Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.” The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left. While the man was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live. He asked them when he began to recover. They told him, “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.” The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he and his whole household came to believe. Now this was the second sign Jesus did when he came to Galilee from Judea. Reflection Jesus was used to people constantly looking at him, wondering who he was, and they wanted some kind of proof that he was who said he was. And it was tiring to Jesus to constantly prove before anyone would believe in him that he was who he said he was. What's different here is this man looked at Jesus and knew who he was, knew the power he had, believed he had it, and simply said, Please come before my child dies. And Jesus knew the difference in a moment. He was not asking for Jesus to prove who he was. He was simply asking Jesus to do what he came into the world to do. It's a beautiful way of understanding what belief and faith really is in Jesus. Closing Prayer Father, confidence. Confidence is you are in our life giving us all that we need. Enabling us to do the things we're called to do. Help us to be always conscious of this presence within us that will always accomplish what is necessary. It is not we who do your work, it is you who do your work through us. That's our confidence, always in you and in your presence. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflect on the enduring truth of God’s goodness, even amid life’s hardships. Using Psalm 27 as an anchor, this devotional reminds us that our outward circumstances do not determine the inward state of our hearts. By recalling God’s faithfulness, seeking intimacy with Him, and remembering His past provision, we can remain confident in His goodness today, shifting perspective from what seems lacking to what God has already provided. Highlights Anchor Scripture: Psalm 27 provides comfort and reassurance amid trials. Confidence in God: Trusting God’s goodness despite external challenges renews hope. God’s Presence: He never leaves or forsakes His children (Deut. 31:6, Isa. 41:10). Active Remembrance: Reflecting on personal experiences of God’s care strengthens faith. Encouragement through Music: Songs like The Goodness of God by Bethel Music can reinforce God’s faithfulness. Intersecting Faith & Life Life inevitably brings struggle and hardship, but God’s presence never wavers. We can cultivate hope and courage by returning to anchor scriptures, recalling God’s past faithfulness, and focusing on His goodness rather than current difficulties. Intentionally meditating on His promises and using tools like Scripture or worship music can encourage a steadfast heart even during storms. This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Conner Bible Reading:“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” - Psalm 27:13 (NIV) Do you have an anchor scripture or favorite passage of the Bible that you regularly return to for comfort or encouragement? I have a few, but one of my favorites is Psalm 27. I have read and reread this psalm more times than I can count. I even handwrote the full psalm in my journal because I am a writer and writers best retain information through the physical act of writing (or typing) and reading. Regardless of how I have interacted with the text, I just can’t seem to get away from this particular passage. It’s like I somehow knew these words would need to be forever etched into my heart. Psalm 27 was written by David during one of his many flights from those who sought to take his life. Though it looked as if the deck was completely stacked against him, David determined to put his faith in the Lord for refuge and rescue. Many of the declarations he makes in this narrative are bold refutes against the temptation to despair. In verse three, he states, “though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.” He continues on in verse eight to say, “My heart says of you, ‘Seek his face!’ Your face, LORD, I will seek.” Ultimately, what David desired most was intimacy and companionship with the Lord, for that really is the only place where we can obtain true and lasting comfort. David understood that his outward circumstances did not have to dictate the inward position of his heart. The goodness of God remained even if it looked like everything around him was falling apart. No matter your age, occupation, or geographic location, like David, life has likely thrown you some hard knocks. Unfortunately, disappointments and hardships are guaranteed in this fallen world. No one is immune. In fact, the Bible actually promises that we will encounter struggle. Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, NIV). The good news is that we are not alone in our trials. The Bible affirms that God is present and helping us through our circumstances. Our Heavenly Father promises He will never leave or forsake us (Deut. 31:6), He is close to those who call upon Him (Psalm 145:18), He will draw near to us when we draw near to Him (James 4:8), and He will help us and uphold us with his righteous right hand (Isa. 41:10). You can be confident that God has not left you alone in the difficulties or challenges you are facing. Sometimes, our souls just need to be reminded of God's unmovable, unfailing love. In Psalm 27, David refuted the lie of defeat by declaring who God is, all He had already done, and the Biblical promises He has made to those who love Him. Reciting these truths and recalling times when you have personally witnessed God’s care and provision in your life helps shift your perspective from what seems to be lacking to what has been provided. In light of this fresh perspective, hope can be renewed. And it is here, in this place of confident assurance in Him, that you can look out beyond the momentary affliction you are facing and say: No matter what is going on… “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” - Psalm 27:13 (NIV) Intersecting Faith & Life: Do you have an anchor scripture you turn to again and again in times of trouble? If so, when was the last time you recited it? One of the best ways to stir up our souls is through song. Ultimately, the psalms penned by David were meant to be sung. Music has such an incredible ability to soothe and encourage our blistered or discouraged hearts. One song that ministers to me when I need to be reminded of the abundance in my life rather than the lack is The Goodness of God by Bethel Music and Jenn Johnson. Take some time to look up the lyrics or listen to this song today. May it remind you of God’s love, faithfulness, and goodness present in your life.

Confidence comes up in almost every coaching conversation I have — and I've come to realize that most of us have it a little bit wrong. In this pixie dust pep talk of an episode, I'm reframing what confidence actually is. It's not about having it all figured out, knowing the outcome, or feeling 100% certain. Real confidence — the strong, quiet kind — is self-trust. It's believing in your own ability to respond, adjust, and learn, even when the path isn't clear. I'll walk you through the relationship between self-belief, self-trust, and confidence, and why shifting from "what's going to happen?" to "who do I want to be?" changes everything. Plus, we'll talk about why self-trust is contagious — and the ripple effect it creates for the people you lead. This one is short, grounding, and exactly the reminder you might need today. Enjoy!

In this episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on a trend many dentists are seeing right now. Patients are still saying yes to treatment, but overall dollars are down. Instead of reacting with fear, he reframes the moment through the lens of steel. Before steel is quenched it is strong, but after it goes through intense heat and rapid cooling, it becomes even tougher and more resilient. Dentistry works the same way. Challenging cases, tighter schedules, difficult conversations, and uncertain seasons are the fire that sharpens your skills. When you lean into learning and build real clinical and communication competence, confidence naturally follows. Pressure is not the enemy. It is often the process that makes you better.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com  This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Kat Cole is the CEO of AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) and a renowned business leader known for a meteoric rise from Hooters waitress to Fortune 40 Under 40 executive. As former President/COO of Focus Brands (Cinnabon), she specializes in scaling global brands. Her career is defined by driving billions in sales, strategic innovation, and a strong, people-first leadership style. Key Learnings You can't market your way out of a bad product. AG1 has 3x'd the business in four years while being in only one channel (direct to consumer) for 15 years. 80% of retail is in brick and mortar, so they were doing that volume in less than 20% of where transactions happen. That only works when customers love the product, keep buying it for years, and tell their friends. Scale comes from trusted recommendations, not marketing spend. Real volume comes from people telling their friends, recommending it to their teams and companies. That's where real scale and sustainable growth comes from. Two questions guide every career decision. Is my work done here? Can someone else do what the company needs better than I can? If the answer to either is yes, that guides you toward pushing for change in your role, the way you show up, or finding the next opportunity. Sometimes the best move is the lesser-known role. Kat could have stayed running big franchise brands everyone knew (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's), but becoming COO of the parent company, Focus Brands, was a bigger, more complex role. Lesser known, smaller team, bigger stretch, more learning. That bridged her into consumer packaged goods and got her ready for AG1. Consider financial needs, learning, and ego separately. Between financial needs, your ability to learn or contribute, and your ego or optics, there are questions you can ask yourself about a particular moment or opportunity that will help you be sharper in what you actually want versus what just looks like what's best next on the surface. The founder heard her on podcasts and asked for an introduction. AG1's founder heard Kat on a couple of podcasts, knew Sahil Bloom, and asked Sahil to make the intro. She just happened to be taking time off and had been a customer for two years. "You're interviewing for your next job every day." Whatever you do now, that choice of time, that tone of voice, that decision, how you show up or don't, creates an impact that leads to an experience and people's actions and then results. Eventually, it leads to the next thing. Showing kindness in the airport matters. A caring note to someone struggling, a teacher or stranger saying, "I see something in you," a compliment when someone's in a dark place. It helps people out of darkness. Or opportunistically, being the one who sent the email or made the ask means you're the one who got the opportunity. Don't burn bridges even when you feel wronged. When Kat was an executive at Hooters at 26, peers in their 50s and 60s would say things in meetings that weren't kind or appropriate. She would write letters expressing how it made her feel, but never sent them. She processed, reflected, and showed up professionally. Years later, those same people became advocates, partners, and references. Four key mindsets for senior leaders. Humility, curiosity, courage, and confidence. By the time candidates get to Kat, they've been vetted on technical capability. She spends time validating those four characteristics because leadership and style trickle far into the organization. Ask "if not for" questions to reveal humility. When someone tells you how they stood tall in tough moments, ask what enabled them to do those great things. They'll say, "I had access to this data, this team, this technical leader." Then ask: "If those people did not exist, if that resource did not exist, how would you have navigated that?" You peel back layers and see if they have the humility to acknowledge their success was due to critical factors. The best candidates do the job in the interview. When someone says, "If we're doing this, we'll absolutely need this person in this specific role," or they have people in mind they're bringing with them, that's a good sign. Hiring leaders who have people who are loyal to them shows something real. In reference checks, ask, "What does this person need to be successful?" It's a positive framing to get at what someone might lack or require around them to be effective. Help people answer "how should I think about this?" In a fully remote company, you have less context and fewer vibes. When you send a note about ending a product line or launching something you said you'd never launch, people's subconscious internal war is "how should I think about this?" Leaders should start communications with "here's how I think about this" or "here's how we should think about this." Sometimes the answer is to shut up and speak last. As teams get stronger, there's more weight on the few things the CEO says. Leave space for other leaders to lead. Kat removed herself from some meetings entirely because she has such great leaders and a strong culture. Pay attention to themes in criticism, not individual attacks. When competitors attack you, ask: Are there patterns? Is there something reflective of industry questions? Sometimes criticisms point to things you already do well but aren't communicating well enough. Comparison ads work short-term but don't build credibility long-term. Challenger brands use the playbook of "we're like the leader, but better/cheaper." Consumers see through it. People tell AG1, "I saw an ad comparing their product to yours, and they're clearly saying you're the leader." The rage bait is brief; the truth is long. Algorithms reward dopamine hits and rage bait. Something untrue or negatively spun can quickly become widely seen because the critique is brief and witty, but the explanation and truth are long. AG1 has more human trials on a single SKU than any other multi-ingredient product ever in the space, but that's harder to say in a sound bite. Don't criticize a car for not taking you to the moon. Someone criticized one of AG1's products for not doing something the product isn't supposed to do. When addressing criticism, clarify what the product is actually designed to do. Her husband will be the fourth person ever to row across three oceans. He's already rowed the Atlantic (set the US record as a pair) and the Caribbean. Now he's training for the Pacific. If he completes it, he'll be only the fourth person to have ever done it in the world.  It's about who you become while striving for the big thing. After her husband got rescued in the Caribbean, he questioned why he was doing this with two kids. But this pursuit is who he is, what drives him, it's inspiring for the kids, and it makes him a better person when he's home. It's about the journey and who you do it with.

What if having too many ideas is the real reason you are not making progress?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan challenge a common belief in personal development. Many people think success comes from creativity and new ideas. But without execution, ideas quickly turn into distractions that stall real growth. They break down why chasing the next concept can feel productive while quietly preventing long-term results. This conversation explores the psychology behind endless ideation, the dopamine hit of talking about goals, and why the uncomfortable middle of execution is where most people lose momentum. If you feel busy but not moving forward, this episode may explain why._______________________Episode Reference:#632 - The Art of Impossible With Steven Kotler Learn more about:Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

1. No Endless War or Ground Occupation Strong emphasis that this is not Iraq or Afghanistan: No large ground invasion No nation-building No long-term occupation Military strategy described as rapid, overwhelming, air-dominant action. Confidence that U.S. casualties will be minimal and duration short. 2. Military Action Against Iran Is Justified as Self-Defense The conflict is framed as a response to 47 years of Iranian aggression, including: Sponsorship of terrorism Killing nearly a thousand Americans Attempted assassinations of U.S. officials Iran is described as an irrational, theocratic death cult, making deterrence unreliable. Nuclear capability in Iran is portrayed as an existential threat to U.S. cities. 3. This Is “America First,” Not a War for Israel Repeated rejection of claims that the war is driven by Israel or Jewish influence. Such claims are labeled dishonest, antisemitic, and propaganda. The stated motivation: protecting American lives and national security. 4. Gas Prices Are a Short-Term Political Weapon Gas price increases are framed as temporary and expected due to Middle East conflict. Democrats are accused of exploiting gas prices the same way they previously focused on egg prices. The speaker argues prices are still lower than under Biden, despite rising from recent lows. Long-term expectation: Iran’s collapse would lower global gas prices. 5. Strong Leadership vs. Weak Appeasement Trump is decisive and feared by adversaries. Obama and Biden are criticized for appeasement and failed nuclear deals. Past diplomatic failures (North Korea, Iran nuclear deal) are cited as evidence diplomacy failed. 6. Harsh Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Isolationists Tucker Carlson is accused of: Spreading anti-American propaganda Echoing Islamist narratives Undermining U.S. troops His statements about unconditional surrender and nuclear escalation are called: False Dangerous Morally grotesque Isolationist conservatives are grouped with progressive Democrats as a shared threat to U.S. foreign policy. 7. Iranian Regime Change Is Seen as Necessary The appointment of a new Iranian leader (son of the former Ayatollah) is rejected. Any continuation of clerical Islamist rule is deemed unacceptable. Regime collapse is framed as the only path to lasting security. 8. Deterrence Fails with Religious Extremism Comparison between North Korea and Iran: North Korea: dangerous but rational Iran: irrational due to religious ideology Argument: Traditional nuclear deterrence does not work with actors who glorify martyrdom. 9. Public Opinion Depends on Duration and Casualties Acknowledgment that support would collapse if: War drags on for years U.S. casualties rise significantly Confidence expressed that this outcome is “near zero.” 10. Closing Shift to Religion and AI Ends with an unexpected, uplifting segment: An AI-generated Christian apologetic is quoted at length. The response argues Christianity is intellectually compelling, historically grounded, and uniquely truthful.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this thought-provoking episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with historian and author Raymond Ibrahim for part two of their eye-opening conversation. Together, they dive deep into the historical interplay between Islam and the West, examining patterns that have shaped centuries of conflict, coexistence, and transformation. You'll hear Raymond Ibrahim challenge widely held beliefs about colonialism and its legacy, question the narratives of “fake history,” and reveal how shifting cultural confidence has impacted both Western and Islamic societies. He discusses historical events like the Muslim conquest of Spain, the Crusades, and the Reconquista, while also addressing modern issues of immigration and cultural identity across Europe. As the discussion unfolds, Tom Bilyeu presses Raymond Ibrahim on tough questions about enlightenment, reform within Islam, and the roles that Christianity and secularism play in Western civilization today. Whether you're interested in history, geopolitics, cultural evolution, or the challenges facing Europe in the modern era, this episode delivers an unfiltered, nuanced perspective that encourages listeners to rethink assumptions and seek deeper context.

In this episode of Next Level University, Kevin and Alan unpack a truth many people miss about success. It often works like a paradox. The same principles that drive real growth can sound contradictory at first. You must fail to succeed, work hard before you can work smart, and care about results without tying your identity to them.Drawing from years of coaching, thousands of podcast episodes, and their own experiences building businesses and reaching major goals, Kevin and Alan explain why progress rarely feels the way people expect. The people who grow the most are the ones who learn to hold two opposing truths at the same time. If success has ever felt confusing, this episode may shift how you think about growth._______________________Learn more about:Join Next Level Live: Level up your life in 2026.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260314dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 Live Today in Confidence This isn’t an easy part of the Bible to read. It says some very uncomfortable things about us. Here, the apostle Paul describes us as “ungodly” and “sinners.” Those aren’t pleasant descriptors. But unfortunately, they are accurate. And, because of our ungodly ways and our sinful thoughts, words and actions, our Maker could have let us die in those sins and be separated from him forever. It is what we would have deserved. But instead, God chose to love us! Yes, in an amazing act of HIS will, he determined that he would come to this earth for you and me and all people, would live for us, would die for us. In an amazing act of his will, he determined to save us. In an amazing act of love, Christ came and died in our place. God has chosen to love us with the most amazing love ever. So, you can live today in confidence, knowing that God is on your side, knowing that God loves you dearly! Prayer: Assure me that you have chosen to love me, dear Savior.

Confidence is everywhere right now. It's in affirmations, vision boards, therapy sessions, and motivational quotes. But none of that means anything if you haven't built proof that you can actually do hard things. In this Habits & Hustle episode, we get into why confidence can't be affirmed, it has to be earned, and why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy. I break down how real self-belief is built through reps, discipline, and physical evidence, not just positive self-talk. We also talk about why boring is what actually works and the power of “do it anyway” when motivation disappears. If you're ready to stop consuming confidence content and start building it, tune in.

Most people believe confidence is something you either have or you don't. The truth is confidence is something that is built, trained, and strengthened over time. In this episode Luke Mind Power shares the four most common reasons people lose their confidence and what you can start doing today to rebuild it. Luke explains how many people carry unconscious beliefs formed from childhood experiences, rejection, criticism, or past failures. Over time these beliefs become the inner voice that tells us we are not good enough, smart enough, or capable enough. When this voice is not challenged it slowly erodes self belief. Another major reason people struggle with confidence is the constant fear of judgement. Many people spend years trying to please others, trying to avoid criticism, and trying to be accepted. The result is that they stop expressing their authentic selves and begin living in a way that feels safe rather than true. Luke also discusses the impact of negative self talk and how the mind can become programmed to expect failure or rejection. When someone repeats limiting beliefs long enough, the brain begins to treat those beliefs as reality. Finally Luke talks about the importance of reconnecting with your true identity, your values, your faith, and your purpose. Real confidence does not come from validation, achievements, or external approval. It comes from knowing who you are and standing in that truth regardless of circumstances. In this episode you will learn: • The four main reasons people lose their confidence• How childhood experiences can shape your self image• Why fear of judgement keeps people stuck and playing small• How negative self talk programs your subconscious mind• Practical ways to begin rebuilding real confidence If this episode resonates with you and you feel ready to change your life, Luke and his team work with individuals who are ready to break through self doubt, heal emotional patterns, and step into their true potential.

It is something you build through courage, truth, and action. Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and personal development purposes only.

Build the mindset that creates wealth. In today's episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros examine a powerful shift most people never make when it comes to money, identity, and long-term success. Many people focus on earning more, but far fewer examine the thinking patterns that shape how money is used, invested, or wasted.This conversation looks at the difference between short-term emotional decisions and strategic choices that build a stronger future. It also highlights why belief, identity, and personal responsibility influence financial outcomes far more than most people realize. If you want to understand why some people consistently build wealth while others repeat the same financial patterns, this episode challenges the mindset behind every decision involving money._______________________Learn more about:Where learning turns into action.

Episode 2934: Beth Brown challenges the belief that confidence comes from winning and instead reveals how it can be intentionally developed in kids through effort, mindset, and skill-building habits. Drawing on research in peak performance and brain science, she outlines practical strategies that help young athletes build lasting self-belief from the inside out. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.livehappy.com/family/7-tips-for-creating-confidence-in-kids Quotes to ponder: "The most consistent finding in peak performance literature is the direct, positive relationship between confidence and success." "Confidence is all about believing in ourselves. It's having realistic faith that we can make anything happen, fulfill our dreams, and reach our goals." "Helping kids choose to create their confidence doesn't guarantee they'll always play great, but it does give them the best opportunity to perform closer to their potential (and have more fun)."

Robin Snyder, a dedicated dance educator and studio owner, to discuss the transformative power of dance and its role in shaping disciplined, creative individuals. The conversation delves into Robin's journey from high school dancer to passionate dance educator and studio owner. She shares candidly about her realization that while she loves dance, her true calling lies in nurturing others within that realm, emphasizing the importance of tradition, discipline, and ceremony in ballet education.Robin also explores the complexity of nurturing stars in the performing arts, identifying students who stand out due to their dedication, respect, and ability to absorb corrections. The episode touches on key themes such as the necessity of loving the process over the mere performance and the invaluable life skills acquired through dance training. Gutierrez and Robbins further discuss the challenges of instructing in contemporary times, noting the significance of supporting both students and parents in understanding the demands and rewards of the performing arts.Key Takeaways:Emphasizing tradition and discipline in dance education helps build character and life skills in students.Success in dance and life requires loving the process, not just the performance.Identifying 'stars' involves recognizing students who show eagerness, respect, and a capacity to internalize lessons.The arts provide invaluable experiences for dealing with rejection and persistence, crucial for life's challenges.Engaging parents in the process can enhance children's success and understanding in performing arts education.Notable Quotes:"I love dance, but I don't love to dance. And that's something I've realized is okay for me.""Our students need to learn the joy in the everyday doing of the thing, not just the performance.""The honor of ballet tradition offers something our children really benefit from in today's casual culture.""Students who show up eager to learn and respectfully interact are often those who succeed, in dance and in life.""Parents can play a vital part by resisting the urge to shield their kids from disappointment and instead coach them through it."Connect with Robin Snyder:WebsiteInstagramFacebookConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

Discover why softness—calm, grounded, and authentic—is often the strongest form of power.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore the strength of softness, a profound Taoist teaching that challenges the modern belief that power must be loud, aggressive, or forceful. True strength is not about dominating a room—it is about staying rooted in calm truth, authenticity, and inner alignment.Through Taoist wisdom, wu wei, and the understanding of Shen, we discover how gentleness, emotional awareness, and quiet confidence create a deeper and more sustainable form of strength. When we stop performing power and start living from truth, we conserve energy, remain steady under pressure, and respond to life with clarity rather than reaction Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/shifting-the-story [third blog on this page] Our Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

1. The State of the Iran Conflict The U.S. is in week two of a war with Iran, claiming major military success Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been nearly eliminated. Iran’s navy has been almost entirely destroyed. The U.S. is using overwhelming force, rapid strikes, and no gradual escalation. 2. U.S. Objectives (as framed in the discussion) The stated goals of “Operation Epic Fury”: Destroy Iran's missile stockpiles, launchers, and weapons manufacturing. Destroy Iran’s navy. Permanently prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. 3. Justification for War Iran has been at war with the U.S. for 47 years, funding terrorism (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis). Iran attempted to assassinate former President Trump and other U.S. officials (Bolton, O’Brien, etc.). This war is described as “America-first,” not about Israel, and responds to direct threats against Americans. 4. Political Framing & Criticism of Opponents Democrats are: Confused in their messaging. Trying to politicize gas prices. Accusing Trump of being manipulated by Israel. Media personalities (notably Tucker Carlson) are heavily criticized for: Alleged pro‑Islamist, anti‑Israel, anti‑American rhetoric. Being amplified by foreign adversaries (Iran, Russia, Muslim Brotherhood). 5. Foreign Influence Qatar is: Funding U.S. universities with $6.6 billion. Supporting Hamas. Influencing American academic and political spheres. 6. Economic Effects Gas prices have risen during the conflict. The increase is temporary. Prices are still much lower than under Biden. If Iran’s regime collapses, oil prices may drop significantly. 7. Vision of the Endgame The conflict will be short, decisive, and not like Iraq or Afghanistan. Expectations: No long-term occupation. No large-scale troop deployment. Focused destruction of hostile infrastructure. Confidence that the Iranian regime might collapse, leading to a more stable region without prolonged war.
