Ep. 786 - The Cardinals opened the 2026 season with a statement win over the Los Angeles Chargers, dominating in all three phases. Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley break down the 1-0 start, the balanced offense led by Jacoby Brissett, Trey McBride and Jeremiyah Love, and the confidence growing inside the locker room. Safety Andrew "Dewey" Wingard joins the show to discuss his big day in LA that included an interception and a forced fumble, his chemistry with Budda Baker, and what makes this Cardinals locker room special. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf turn their attention to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 and how the Cardinals can attack their talented defense and on the flip side, slow down star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're more connected than ever. We have followers, downloads, views, emails, messages, and endless ways to reach one another.But are those connections actually meaningful?In this solo episode of Take Back Time: Time to Reset, Penny Zenker reflects on a question she's been asking herself about the podcast: Is it still creating the kind of connection and value she wants it to create?It's a question that goes far beyond podcasting.Sometimes we get so focused on doing the work, producing the content, checking the boxes, and watching the numbers that we lose sight of the people on the other side. We forget to ask: Who am I doing this for? Is it creating value? And does it still feel meaningful?Penny explores why connection matters, how easily we can lose sight of the bigger picture, and why sometimes the reset isn't about stopping what we're doing. It's about stepping back and reconsidering how we're doing it.And this episode comes with an invitation: reach out.If Time to Reset has sparked an aha, helped you see something differently, or given you a reset when you needed one, Penny wants to hear from you. What do you value? What do you want more of? What keeps you listening?Because meaningful connection isn't measured by a download. It happens when we actually engage with one another.Maybe it's time for all of us to ask: Where could I reach out, reconnect, and make the work I'm doing more meaningful?Love the show?

How cross-industry conversations help distribution professionals solve what's next On this episode of Distribution Talk, Jason welcomes back his friend and colleague Marshall Jones of Connected Peers, the virtual network they co-founded to encourage professional, productive relationships within the distribution community. This year, Marshall has taken over the program full-time, allowing Jason to focus his attention elsewhere (hello, AI!).  AI has touched nearly every Connected Peers forum in 2026. While many distributors are cautiously experimenting with using AI for marketing and low-stakes planning, Marshall notes that some forum members are getting more curious about the tech and bringing their cohorts along. Recent discussions include:  How do we utilize AI inside our WMS?  How do we integrate AI agents into our customer service protocol? Which AI-driven packages are best for bolting onto the ERPs we already use? CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH MARSHALL LinkedIn Connected Peers *** Distribution Talk is produced by The Distribution Team, a consulting services firm dedicated to helping wholesale distribution clients remove barriers to profitability, generate wealth, and achieve personal goals.    This episode was edited by The Creative Impostor Studios  Special thanks to our sponsors for this episode: Motivate, INxSQL, and Connected Peers.

accesso Technology Group PLC (LSE:ACSO, OTC:LOQPF, FRA:LQG) CEO Lee Cowie spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's interim results, the improvement in cash EBITDA, its move towards a connected software ecosystem, and growth opportunities from accesso Intelligence and accessoPay. Cowie explained that while revenue was broadly flat, cash EBITDA rose almost 50%, reflecting cost action taken in January. He said Accesso had been "very judicious on our costs," with those measures now flowing through and driving the improvement. The CEO also discussed accesso's shift from individual products towards a connected software ecosystem, aiming to serve venues more effectively across the customer journey, including the points where money changes hands between guests and venues. Cowie highlighted the potential of accesso Intelligence following the Dexibit acquisition, describing the acquired platform as "AI first" and positioned on top of Accesso's existing ecosystem to add further value for customers. accessoPay represents another opportunity. accesso processes around $5 billion of gross transaction volume through its platforms, with Cowie estimating $1-2 billion of that could be addressable within its existing customer base, at a margin of around 40 to 100 basis points. Looking ahead, Cowie reiterated 2026 guidance, highlighting the importance of October trading around Halloween and around $1 million of milestone payments in Saudi Arabia.

A few years ago I accidentally hit a guy on the golf course. I'm not proud of it — although it did bank in almost perfectly off his calf on its way toward the hole. But the swing that caused it taught me something I haven't stopped thinking about: my brother told me to quit trying to kill the ball and just make good contact. Looking at podcasting, it turns into the best explanation I've found for why so many podcasts stop growing.If you've ever chased a bigger download number, wondered why nobody signs up for the thing you're selling despite having a decent audience, or just felt like you're doing everything and getting nowhere, keep listening — because the fix isn't a bigger swing.It's Not About a Big Audience. It's About the Right One.I talk to podcasters constantly who are chasing the same fantasy: flip a switch, get 10,000 downloads overnight. I get it — I've wanted that too. But it doesn't exist unless you've got a massive budget, and even then it doesn't always work.Quick, honest question: who won American Idol season six? They had a million people watching. Doesn't mean you remember them, and it doesn't mean they connected.Here's the math that changed how I think about this: if you ran your show as a $30-a-month membership, you'd only need one person willing to pay to break even (assuming you're spending $30/month). But not just any listener does that — it has to be someone connected to you. So the real target was never more downloads. It's finding roughly 500 right-fit people who trust you. Downloads don't join a membership.Connected people do.What a Musician Taught Me About ConnectionI study podcasters, but I also study musicians, authors, and YouTubers, because we're all in the same business — entertaining people with our art. One of my favorite channels right now is Mary Spender's. She's a musician, not a podcaster, but what she said recently hit me right in the chest:"We've spent years treating streaming numbers as though they measure fandom, but perhaps they often measure familiarity instead. Millions of streams doesn't necessarily become hundreds of people willing to leave the house on a Wednesday evening. Maybe we've become incredibly good at measuring attention, but forgotten how to measure connection."Swap "streams" for "downloads" and "tickets" for "memberships," and she's describing exactly what's happening in podcasting. Mary lost £12,000 on her last tour. Instead of giving up, she changed her approach: "Not to chase the biggest room, to chase the right room. Not to impress the most people, to matter to the people who choose to be there." Knowledge is knowing that. Wisdom is acting on it — and she is, booking her own shows again, more intentionally this time (And enjoying it more).How to Actually Get in Front of the Right PeopleWe've been brainstorming growth ideas in the School of Podcasting community, and the point was never to do all of them — it's to pick one, test it, and measure it. A few examples:Guesting on other podcasts that share your audience — less friction, since that audience already knows how to listen to a podcast.Podcast swaps, shout-outs, or a 30-second promo trade.Speaking engagements or workshops.Writing for a publication your audience already reads.Your own blog and SEO — no, it's not dead.Partnerships that go beyond sponsorship, where you actually help each other promote.Word of mouth — which drives roughly 70% of podcast growth, and yet almost nobody deliberately asks for it. Ask your audience, specifically and simply, to share the show with one friend.Local, unglamorous options: I used to slip a business card into a book on the page matching my age, in a genre my audience would read. Free. Slow. It worked, a little at a time.None of these flip a switch. They're singles, not grand slams. You build an audience one person at a time.Would you spend 5 minutes to get 36 people to your site each week?How I Found Out What's Actually Working: Click TrackersHere's the part that surprised me. I started putting a click tracker (I use Switchy) on every link I post — social, LinkedIn, wherever. Takes about 41 seconds per link. What I found: my email list outperformed every social platform by double digits, while everything else stayed in single digits. One email drove 36 clicks in a week — times four weeks, that's potentially 144 people who might actually listen, follow, or tell a friend. And it cost me less than five minutes.Would you spend 5 minutes a week to get 36 people to your site each week? Again, this is not the 10,000 switch. It's one strategy, and leaves you lots of time to try others.The click isn't the whole story, though — a click is still just attention, the same thing Mary warned about. What matters is what happens after it: did that traffic turn into an email subscriber, a membership signup, a real connection?Track that, and you'll quickly find out which platforms are worth your time and which ones you can quietly stop feeding. (If you want a free option instead of a paid one, Short.io does the same basic job.) So the "extra" time you spent using click trackers, you get back by identifying strategies that don't work for you.Two People Who Grew by Showing Up Consistently, Not LoudlyIn the early days of podcasting, Steve Stewart (Podcast Editors Academy) built recognition for years by simply leaving comments on other people's shows — for free. Eventually every show about podcasting seemed to mention him. Neil Veglio did something similar on Pod News Weekly Review, showing up consistently with sharp, specific insight until listeners started recognizing his name. Neither of them flipped a switch. They just kept showing up in the right rooms. I plan on doing some sort of collab with Neil in the future.Ask Your Audience Who They Actually AreIf you're just starting out and don't have an audience yet, go find where your future audience already hangs out — YouTube comments on a similar channel's most-viewed video, or Amazon reviews for books on your topic (skip the 5-star and 1-star reviews; the 4-star ones that explain what would've made it a 5 are where the real feedback lives).And if you already have an audience: ask them directly what they want, more than once, and explain why it helps them to tell you. Track the link to your survey the same way you track everything else — if 12 people click but only 6 finish it, that's useful data too.The Bottom LineHope is not a strategy. Neither is waiting for the 10,000-download switch — I've been looking for one since 2007, and it doesn't exist. Growth doesn't come from a bigger swing: more effort, more platforms, more reach. It comes from solid contact with the right people, and you won't know what's solid contact until you measure it.If you want help building the kind of connection that actually turns into a membership, that's exactly what I do at School of Podcasting.

Everybody wants more visibility—more followers, more views, more reach, and more people discovering their business. But what happens after they find you? In this episode of Social Media Decoded, visibility strategist and Thames Media Solutions founder Michelle Thames challenges entrepreneurs to stop thinking only about getting more attention and start thinking about where that attention is going. Because visibility without a next step is just attention. If 10,000 new people discovered your business today, would they know what to do next? Could they join your email list? Book a strategy call? Join your membership? Attend your event? Buy your product? Start a conversation? Or would they simply consume your content and keep scrolling? Michelle breaks down how to build a visibility ecosystem that turns attention into relationships, opportunities, community, and revenue. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why more visibility isn't always the solution to your marketing problem The difference between attention and intentional visibility Why going viral doesn't automatically create revenue What should happen after someone discovers your content Why every business needs a clear destination for its visibility How to choose the right call to action based on your content Why your email list, events, membership, products, services, and conversations should work together How to build a customer journey instead of collecting followers Why content should be the entrance to your ecosystem—not the entire strategy How Michelle is applying this strategy while building Connected & Paid and Connected & Paid Live Why in-person events can deepen relationships that started online How community can become part of your business growth strategy Why proximity, introductions, conversations, and relationships matter in an AI-driven world How to connect social media, email, podcasting, events, offers, and community Why follower count doesn't necessarily equal business strength The five questions to ask when auditing your visibility ecosystem Visibility Without a Next Step Is Just Attention A Reel can get 20,000 views. A post can go viral. A speaking engagement can put you in front of hundreds of people. But if those people don't know where to go next, much of that attention disappears. Visibility creates the opportunity. Strategy builds the bridge. Instead of only asking, “How can I get more people to see me?” Michelle encourages entrepreneurs to ask: “What do I want people to do after they see me?” That's where visibility starts becoming a business strategy. You Need a Destination Your destination doesn't have to be the same for every piece of content. Depending on your business, the next step could be: Joining your email list Booking a strategy call Entering your membership Registering for an event Purchasing a product Listening to your podcast Starting a conversation The goal isn't to give your audience ten different calls to action at once. It's to create a logical next step based on where they are in the relationship with you. Content Gets Attention. Your Ecosystem Does the Rest. Your social media shouldn't exist separately from your email. Your email shouldn't exist separately from your offers. Your podcast shouldn't exist separately from your events. Your events shouldn't exist separately from your community. Instead, think about the journey: Content → Conversation → Relationship → Community → Opportunity → Revenue Someone might discover you through a Reel. That Reel could lead them to your podcast. Your podcast could lead them to your email list. Your email could invite them to an event. The event could create a relationship. That relationship could eventually lead to a client, collaboration, referral, partnership, or another opportunity you couldn't have predicted. That's an ecosystem. Building Connected & Paid Live Michelle also takes listeners behind the scenes of how she's thinking about Connected & Paid Live. Rather than simply trying to sell event tickets, she's intentionally building a room where women can create relationships, make introductions, have meaningful conversations, and discover new opportunities. From speaker announcements to preview calls, podcast episodes, community conversations, and event content, each piece is designed to help people understand the vision behind the room and decide whether they want to become part of it. Because sometimes the most valuable thing that happens at an event isn't what happens on the stage. It's meeting the person sitting next to you. Your 5-Question Visibility Audit Ask yourself: 1. Where are people discovering me? Social media? Search? Referrals? Speaking? Podcasting? Networking? Events? 2. What do I want them to do next? Choose a primary next step instead of sending people in ten different directions. 3. Is the next step obvious? Could someone discovering you for the first time figure it out quickly? 4. What happens after they take that step? How are you nurturing the relationship and staying connected? 5. What is the deeper destination? Is the ultimate goal a service, product, membership, event, community, partnership, or client relationship? When you can answer those questions, you're no longer simply creating content. You're building an ecosystem. Join the Next Fill the Room Preview Call If you've been watching Michelle build Connected & Paid Live and you're curious about the room, join the next Fill the Room preview call. Michelle will walk you through what she's creating, who Connected & Paid Live is for, what you can expect from the experience, and why she believes this room is going to be special. Not only because of who's on the stage—but because of who's going to be sitting next to you. DM Michelle the word ROOM for information about the next Fill the Room preview call and Connected & Paid Live. Join the Conversation If you're listening on Spotify, answer this question in the comments: Where are you currently sending people after they discover you? Your email list? Website? Strategy call? Membership? Event? Or nowhere yet? And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway from this episode. Key Takeaway You don't always need more visibility. You need somewhere for your visibility to go. Content gets attention. Your ecosystem turns that attention into relationships and revenue. Stop measuring your entire marketing strategy by how many people saw you. Start building a clear path for the right people to discover you, trust you, enter your world, and take the next step. Because visibility gets you noticed. Your ecosystem gives people a reason to stay. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You used to be able to jump, sneeze, run, or make it home from Target without thinking twice about your bladder… And now? You're leaking.

Connected fitness isn't replacing boutique fitness, but it is changing what clients expect from their studios. In this episode of The Business of Boutique Fitness, Studio Grow founder Lise Kuecker and Heather Garrick explore what boutique fitness studio owners can learn from brands like Peloton, Tonal, and Mirror, and how connected fitness, wearable technology, AI, and personalized training are reshaping the future of the fitness industry. They break down why community and in-person motivation still matter, how Peloton built loyalty through instructors and digital community, what Tonal gets right about personalization, and what the rise and fall of Mirror can teach studio owners about content, talent, and long-term customer value. You'll also hear practical ways studios can use wearable data from platforms like WHOOP, Apple Watch, Garmin, and Myzone to create more personalized member experiences, improve retention, and even build new revenue streams. Plus, Lise and Heather look ahead at hybrid memberships, AI-powered programming, connected health data, longevity, and the growing overlap between boutique fitness and preventative healthcare. Connected fitness isn't an either/or decision. Your clients can train at home, track their health through wearables, and still deeply value the coaching, accountability, community, and human connection they find inside your studio. The opportunity for studio owners is learning how to make those experiences work together. If you own or operate a boutique fitness studio, this episode will help you understand where connected fitness is headed, and how to use technology to create a better client experience without losing what makes boutique fitness valuable in the first place.

What if the goal isn't a different season — it's deeper roots?Everybody is trusting something to hold their life together: control, approval, success, another person, themselves. It works fine until the heat comes — a diagnosis, a closed door, a kid who won't choose right, a prayer that isn't answered on your timeline. Suddenly you find out what your roots were really in.In Jeremiah 17:5–8, God gives a picture of two lives: one like a shrub in the desert, one like a tree planted by a stream. Both face the same drought. Only one stays green. The difference was never the weather — it's the source.In this message, we talk about:Why pressure exposes what you're actually trusting, not what you say you're trustingWhy God is often more interested in your roots than your branchesWhat it means that "the greatest threat isn't the drought — it's disconnecting from the Source during the drought"Why "stuck" doesn't mean "forgotten," and how sanctification can be happening even when your circumstances aren't changingHow Jesus' invitation in John 7:37 — "if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink" — changes what it means to grow, mature, and produce fruitIf you're in a season that isn't changing yet, this one's for you.Scripture referenced: Jeremiah 17:5–8 · John 7:37–39 · Matthew 26:38–39 · Exodus 30:23 · Ezekiel's temple vision (Ezekiel 47)#Jeremiah17 #StayConnected #FaithInTheDrought #SermonSeriesFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

Are you and your spouse running on autopilot, constantly clashing between logic and emotion, or struggling to figure out what true leadership actually looks like in a modern marriage? In this episode of Married and Connected, host Kameran Alareqi sits down with Damian Lewis—husband, father of three, and author of the viral movement and book Call Me First: A Man's Blueprint for True Leadership at Home. Damian shares his journey of breaking generational cycles at age 37 to build a thriving, peaceful household.

Social media connection can make us feel surrounded while still leaving us wondering who actually knows us.In this episode of The Heavyweight Collective, we unpack the difference between visibility, engagement, support, and genuine connection. A follow, a like, or a quick encouraging comment can feel good, but does it mean the same thing as someone understanding what you're actually carrying behind the scenes?We get into the strange reality of modern support, including why strangers sometimes celebrate your wins louder than people who have known you for decades. At the same time, we recognize the real value online communities can create through gaming, shared interests, resources, and even moments of safety.Then the conversation shifts into AI, convenience, and authenticity. From travel planning and tech troubleshooting to email help, we talk about where AI genuinely improves life—and where filters, generated images, and automated everything may start pulling us further away from ourselves.We close with kids, technology, critical thinking, and the challenge of raising a generation that has access to everything but still has to learn what's trustworthy.Tap in With US! Thanks for tapping in with The Heavyweight Collective! Make sure you follow, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this convo.

Everyone wants a happier relationship with their spouse. Marriage coach and author Dan Seaborn will explain some simple attitude adjustments that will help improve both your mindset and your communication in marriage.

Why do two people who deeply love each other sometimes struggle so much in the bedroom?This week on the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy dive into one of the biggest sources of frustration in marriage: men and women often experience and understand sex very differently.When we view our spouse's sexual behavior through our own lens, it's easy to feel rejected, pressured, unwanted, or misunderstood. But when we understand why our spouse may view physical intimacy differently, those differences can become a bridge instead of a barrier.Nick and Amy unpack several of the biggest differences between husbands and wives when it comes to sex.Sex as a Physical Need vs. an Emotional GatewayFor many husbands, physical intimacy is one of the primary ways they experience love, connection, reassurance, and emotional closeness. Feeling desired by their wife can make them feel deeply valued and connected.For many wives, the process can work in the opposite direction. Emotional connection, feeling loved, heard, supported, and safe can create the environment where sexual desire can grow.That can create a frustrating cycle:He wants sex to feel connected → she wants connection to feel ready for sex.Both are seeking connection—but they're approaching it from opposite directions.Spontaneous Desire vs. Responsive DesireNick and Amy also discuss the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire.Many men can experience desire seemingly out of nowhere. A thought, a visual cue, or simply being around their wife can spark sexual desire.Many women experience desire more responsively. Desire may develop after affection, emotional connection, relaxation, flirting, touch, and feeling safe and connected.When couples don't understand this difference, a husband may interpret his wife's lack of immediate desire as rejection, while a wife may wonder why her husband seems ready for sex when she hasn't even mentally switched gears.Stress Can Affect Men and Women DifferentlyHere's another major difference: stress doesn't always affect spouses the same way.For many husbands, physical intimacy can be a way to relax, reconnect, and escape the stress of the day.For many wives, stress can completely shut down sexual desire. If she's carrying the mental load of work, kids, finances, housework, and everything else on her plate, it can be difficult to transition from “I have 47 things to do” to “I'm ready for intimacy.”Understanding this difference can help couples stop taking each other's responses personally and start working together.Visual vs. Experiential StimulationNick and Amy also talk about how husbands and wives can be stimulated differently.Men are often highly visually stimulated, while many women are more influenced by the overall experience and context—how their husband talks to them, treats them, touches them, listens to them, helps them, and makes them feel throughout the day.For a wife, what happens outside the bedroom can have a huge impact on what happens inside the bedroom.So How Do Couples Bridge the Gap?Understanding the differences is only the beginning. Couples need to learn how to meet each other in the middle.Nick and Amy share practical ways to do that, including:Give zero-pressure affection. Let a hug just be a hug sometimes. Physical touch doesn't always have to lead to sex.Practice emotional foreplay all day. Connection, flirting, kindness, communication, and helping carry the mental load can all contribute to intimacy.Communicate your bids for intimacy clearly. Husbands can express their desire without making it feel like a demand, and wives can communicate when they're not ready without making their husbands feel unwanted.Create more safety and playfulness. Take the pressure off and make intimacy something you both look forward to rather than something one spouse is constantly requesting and the other is constantly avoiding.Ultimately, men and women aren't necessarily fighting against each other—they're often fighting to have their own needs understood.A husband may be thinking, “Why doesn't she want me?”A wife may be thinking, “Why doesn't he understand what I need to want him?”Both may be longing for the same thing: connection.When a husband learns to pursue his wife's heart as well as her body, and a wife understands that her husband's desire for physical intimacy can be deeply connected to his desire for love and reassurance, couples can stop fighting their differences and start using them to create greater intimacy.Your spouse isn't necessarily wrong because they experience sex differently than you do. They may simply be wired differently.The goal isn't to make your spouse think like you.The goal is to understand how they experience intimacy—and learn how to love them in a way they can actually feel.Tune in as Nick and Amy unpack the differences between male and female desire, what couples commonly misunderstand about sex, and practical ways to turn those differences into a stronger, more connected and passionate marriage.

Are great marriages built by accident, or are they created through deliberate action? In this episode of Married and Connected, host Kameran Alareqi sits down with relational leadership coach and founder David Yep to break down what it really takes for men to step out of passive roles and show up as intentional leaders, husbands, and fathers.Together, they confront the uncomfortable truths of marriage: why most couples enter partnership underqualified, how emotional maturity transforms relationships, and why common friction points—like communication breakdowns or "decision fatigue"—are often just a language barrier between spouses. David shares his T.A.U.T. framework (Tolerance, Acceptance, Understanding, Treasure) and explains how cultivating genuine curiosity and openness can save a relationship from compounding frustration and emotional distance.Key Takeaways & HighlightsThe "Fake It Till You Make It" Trap: Why bringing workplace bravado into dating and marriage creates unrealistic expectations and blocks authentic vulnerability.The T.A.U.T. Framework for Relationships: How couples move from basic Tolerance and Acceptance to deep Understanding and ultimately Treasuring their partner's unique differences.Understanding Creates Possibility: Why assuming you already know everything about your spouse limits connection—and how staying curious opens new paths for growth.Shifting Strategy Over Effort: Why working harder using the wrong communication style leads to frustration, and how changing your approach transforms connection.Practical Solutions for Decision Fatigue: Simple, actionable communication tweaks (like the "3-Choice Method" for picking restaurants) to reduce everyday relationship friction.Resources & Links MentionedSponsor Discount: Experience intimate comfort and wellness with Lava—preservative-free, fragrance-free, and pH-balanced.

Family relationships can be complicated, but the presence of dysfunction is not the absence of God's faithfulness. In this message from the Connected series, Pastor Jarian Felton explores the story of Jacob through Genesis 28:15 and Genesis 35:3, showing how God remained present and faithful through seasons of brokenness, difficult decisions, and family tension. Jacob's journey reminds us that God does not abandon His promises when life gets messy. No matter what challenges or relational struggles we face, God is still at work, offering hope, guidance, and transformation. Discover how God's faithfulness can sustain you and your family through every season and every setback. (09_06_2026)

Tonight on *The Black Line Brief**, I'm joined by **Stew Peters* for a conversation connecting some of the biggest questions surrounding TPUSA, the Trump administration, Israel, and the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination.   We're going to examine the people, organizations, relationships, public statements, and events that have fueled growing questions about what happened before and after Charlie's death—and why so many of these threads appear to intersect.   We'll break down what is **documented**, what is **alleged**, what remains **unanswered**, and where the evidence actually leads.   This isn't about forcing every anomaly into a predetermined theory. It's about putting the information on the table, following the connections, and asking whether the official explanations adequately account for what we're seeing.   *TPUSA. The Trump administration. Israel. Charlie Kirk. The investigation. The narrative that followed.*   The connections deserve scrutiny.   Join us LIVE and decide for yourself.   *The Black Line Brief* Join us on KICK https://kick.com/stewpeters

Touch is one of our most basic human needs, yet for many men, meaningful platonic touch can disappear from their lives for years, sometimes even decades.  In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Dan welcomes Aaron Johnson, public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, touch activist, founder of the Chronically Untouched Project, and co-founder of Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action. Aaron's work explores the emotional and relational lives of Black men and the messages many have received about what masculinity is supposed to look like. Be strong. Hold your emotions in. Take care of yourself. Don't show vulnerability. Through intentional listening, platonic touch, consent, tenderness, and community, Aaron is creating spaces where men can experience a different way of connecting with themselves and with one another.  Aaron shares how this work began with his own grief after the death of his father and his nearly year-long journey to regain access to tears after approximately 20 years of not crying. Rather than forcing an emotional breakthrough, Aaron discovered that being deeply and consistently listened to created the safety necessary for his emotions to emerge. That experience became foundational to his work and to one of its central principles: “Listening is the first hug.” Aaron and Dr. Dan explore what happens when men are given permission to move beyond the roles they have been conditioned to play. Aaron describes the powerful question that became a cornerstone of the Chronically Untouched Project: When was the last time you experienced three minutes of thoughtful, platonic touch? For many of the men Aaron has worked with, answering that question means searching decades into their past. The conversation explores why something as simple as holding another man's hand can feel profoundly vulnerable, particularly for Black men who have absorbed cultural expectations around hypermasculinity, strength, sexuality, and survival. Aaron explains how creating safety through listening and explicit consent allows participants to slowly experience touch without coercion, pressure, or judgment. Aaron also takes listeners inside one of the most moving practices featured in his films Dark and Tender and Dark and Tender: Big Island: the “tuck-in.” Grown men are invited to ask directly for the kind of care they need… pillows, blankets, a hand held, someone sitting near them, or simply the presence of others and then allow themselves to receive it. It is a seemingly simple act with profound implications. Aaron describes these experiences as an interruption of the belief that grown men, and particularly Black men, cannot or should not be held tenderly. Dr. Dan and Aaron also discuss the broader potential of this work. Learning to listen, communicate boundaries, practice consent, and understand vulnerability within our own bodies may influence how we treat other people's bodies and relationships. The conversation expands beyond individual healing into questions of violence, community, family, parenting, and future generations. Aaron emphasizes that homes and families can become powerful places for change. By modeling positive touch, listening deeply, making room for tenderness, and helping children use their voices, parents and caregivers can begin changing the messages boys receive about what it means to be strong. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider connection itself. Strength and tenderness do not have to be opposites. Vulnerability does not have to diminish masculinity. And sometimes healing begins not with having the perfect words, but with creating enough safety to listen, to feel, and to allow another human being to be present with us. 1. Listening can be a form of connection before physical touch ever happens.Aaron describes listening as “the first hug.” Deep, nonjudgmental listening creates trust and emotional safety, allowing people to take increasingly vulnerable interpersonal risks. 2. Emotional breakthroughs cannot always be forced.Aaron spent months trying to regain access to his tears after his father's death. He ultimately discovered that safety, patience, trust, and being heard—not pressure—allowed the grief he had carried for years to emerge. 3. Three minutes of platonic touch can reveal how disconnected many men have become.A few minutes seems insignificant until someone realizes they cannot remember the last time they experienced sustained, intentional, nonsexual touch. 4. Consent becomes especially powerful when people experience it through their own vulnerability.Aaron's workshops emphasize explicit yeses and noes, careful listening, and respect for boundaries before physical contact takes place. 5. Tenderness and strength can coexist.Aaron's work challenges cultural narratives that teach men—particularly Black men—that softness, vulnerability, emotional expression, or being cared for somehow diminishes their strength. 6. Receiving care can be as transformative as giving it.Exercises such as the tuck-in give adult men permission to identify what they need, ask for it clearly, and experience being cared for without having to perform, compete, or prove themselves. 7. Changing the culture begins at home.Aaron encourages parents, caregivers, and families to create homes where healthy touch, listening, tenderness, emotional expression, consent, and the human voice are modeled from childhood.

Bishop Jim's insightful messages help others find THEIR METRON through M~otivation E~nlightenment T~ranscendence R~enewal O~utreach and N~etworking Learn more: www.bishinthenow.com Follow Jim Swilley on Youtube to see the videos live Sundays at 11:11 am – https://www.youtube.com/bishinthenow Everything Is Energy: Healing the Energy You Carry Bishop Jim Swilley closes this installment of The Healing Word: Everything Is Energy and We're All Connected by exploring how the emotional and spiritual energy we absorb—especially early in life—can continue shaping our identity, relationships, choices, and even our experience of healing. Through personal stories about family, grief and closure, the woman with the issue of blood, forgiveness, Dolly Parton's formative influences, and Zach's testimony about his sister rebuilding her life, Jim challenges us to recognize what belongs to us and what we have simply carried for someone else. Healing begins when we tell ourselves the truth without condemnation, release inherited shame and limiting beliefs, and intentionally choose the energy of freedom, affirmation, health, and life. Main Takeaways Early energy can become lifelong programming. Experiences, words, people, places, and even seemingly insignificant childhood impressions can establish patterns that continue influencing us decades later. The question is not simply, “What happened to me?” but “What energy did I attach to what happened?” You don't have to carry someone else's infection. Shame, fear, inadequacy, rejection, and limitation can be projected onto us by parents, religious leaders, culture, relationships, or other authority figures. Forgiveness allows us to acknowledge what happened without continuing to carry its energy. Forgiveness is release, not approval. Jim emphasizes that forgiving someone does not condone abuse, mistreatment, or dysfunction. It means refusing to allow another person's unresolved issues to continue living inside you. Jesus changed the energy around the rejected. In the story of the woman with the issue of blood, Jesus does more than acknowledge her physical healing—He publicly calls her “Daughter.” Instead of reinforcing the shame surrounding her condition, He restores dignity and belonging. See Mark 5:25–34; Luke 8:43–48. Sometimes healing requires creating your own path of faith. The woman believed, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole” (Mark 5:28). Jim points out that she acted from her own conviction rather than waiting for permission from the religious system around her. Prayer can look like speaking well-being into another person. Drawing from James 5:13–16, Jim expands prayer beyond religious language. Sometimes prayer is simply looking at someone in difficulty and sincerely saying, “You're going to be okay.” Let people experience their joy. James says, “Is any merry? let him sing psalms” (James 5:13). Rather than diminishing another person's happiness, confidence, accomplishment, or self-expression, we can celebrate it. Freedom comes through truth. Facing family dysfunction, painful memories, inherited beliefs, or personal history honestly does not require self-condemnation. “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Your worst experience does not have to determine your future. Zach's story about his sister illustrates how a devastating experience can become the catalyst for leaving an unhealthy environment, rediscovering identity, and building an entirely different life. Scriptures Referenced James 5:13–16 — Prayer, healing, anointing, and speaking well-being over those experiencing weakness or difficulty. Mark 5:25–34 / Luke 8:43–48 — The woman with the issue of blood reaches for Jesus and is healed; Jesus publicly calls her “Daughter.” Leviticus 15:19–30 — The purity laws surrounding a woman's menstrual cycle and prolonged bleeding, providing important cultural context for the woman with the issue of blood. Jeremiah 6:14 — “Peace, peace; when there is no peace,” highlighting the danger of addressing symptoms without confronting deeper wounds. James 4:2 — “Ye have not, because ye ask not.” Luke 4:18 / Isaiah 61:1 — “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” and the proclamation of liberty to the captives. John 8:32, 36 — The truth makes us free, and “if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 — “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” Ephesians 2:6 — We are raised up and seated together in heavenly places. Quote from Bishop Jim Swilley “Forgiving a situation is saying, ‘I can't let your energy fester in me anymore.'” That thought captures the heart of the message: you can acknowledge what happened, tell the truth about it, forgive what needs to be forgiven, and refuse to spend the rest of your life carrying energy that was never yours.

What if growing your business doesn't require creating more content, launching another offer, or spending even more time on social media? In this episode of Social Media Decoded, marketing strategist and entrepreneur Michelle Thames shares why she's approaching September differently. Instead of doing more, she's focusing on making the visibility, content, relationships, and platforms she has already built work harder. After years of building her personal brand, podcast, email list, local visibility, speaking opportunities, partnerships, events, and community, Michelle is shifting from constant creation to leverage. She breaks down what has actually moved her business forward—and why relationships, follow-up, community, strategic partnerships, and a connected visibility ecosystem often create more opportunities than simply posting more. If you're an entrepreneur who feels like you're constantly creating but not getting enough business from your visibility, this episode will help you rethink your strategy. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why doing more isn't always the answer to business growth The difference between being busy and building momentum What has actually created opportunities in Michelle's business Why relationships are an essential part of a visibility strategy How Michelle is batching her podcast and content to create more freedom How to repurpose one idea across multiple marketing channels Why email marketing needs to do more than promote your offers How to turn podcasting into a larger authority-building strategy Why speaking opportunities need a clear next step How strategic partnerships can expand your reach faster than building alone Why Michelle is investing more deeply in community How to create a visibility ecosystem that connects your content, email, podcast, events, offers, and relationships Why entrepreneurs should focus on leverage instead of constantly adding more The September Shift: From More to Leverage Michelle's focus for September is simple: Stop automatically adding more. Start leveraging what already works. That means batching content instead of reinventing it every day. Nurturing an existing email list instead of only chasing new followers. Following up with relationships instead of constantly looking for new contacts. Turning podcast episodes into emails, social media content, speaking points, and community conversations. Being more selective about events, collaborations, and speaking opportunities. And creating a business that doesn't require the founder to be online every minute for the business to keep growing. Because sometimes growth isn't addition. Sometimes growth is leverage. Join the Conversation Michelle wants to hear from you. If you're listening on Spotify, finish this sentence in the episode comments: “In September, I'm no longer __________.” What are you simplifying, eliminating, or refusing to force in your business?

You may need to make what you've already built work harder. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

AL #013 Building and maintaining an engaged community doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, you don't need to do much to get the ball rolling with your people. If you've been overthinking how to connect with your audience, listen in on this AskLiz session for two easy tricks that work wonders! Today, I'm replying to Anita Sandoval, who needs simple and repeatable tactics to stay focused and move the needle for her brand. The first strategy I share is to ask simple yes-or-no questions in your emails or social posts to activate your readers. This is a surprising way to get in-depth replies! I also dive into an easy way to get more mileage out of your newsletters. Creating audio or video versions of your emails can help your audience see and hear you, building trust faster!

You believe life is hard. You believe certain limitations are real. You may even pretend to enjoy things, fit in, or be someone you're not just to survive.So what happens when you turn that same power toward your transformation?What if you pretend you are peaceful? Abundant? Calm? Connected to God? What if you live as your higher self for one day—or even 30 days—and see what begins to change?Through breathwork, mindset shifts, faith, and intentional belief, this episode will help you release the identity that no longer serves you and practice becoming the person you feel called to be.Your mind is powerful. What you focus on expands.Stop pretending just to survive.Start practicing the person you were meant to become.
