Venerable Hue Can is the Abbess of Sunyata Meditation Centre in Vic Park and has the very clear goal to teach others how to realize their full potential through Zen Buddhism. Venerable Hue Can had an interesting and diverse career as a teacher, Children's Librarian and co-ordinator of the Ethnic Child Care Resource Unit. As an advocate for access and equity she have worked in the area of social welfare, particularly in the Vietnamese community in Western Australia. When the Most Venerable Master Thich Thanh Tu came to Perth in 1996 she was fortunate to attend his lecture “Why am I a Buddhist”. She found out that Buddhism could give her five things that she had always been searching for – wisdom, altruism, freedom, equality and emancipation. She wanted to become his disciple and follow the path that he had illuminated. Her first ordination occurred in 1998. Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it's a time for deepening their own practice. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk. Unshakeable Peace 2026 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2026) Hear stories of everyday dhamma as told by monastics and lay practitioners from various Buddhist traditions.

No two people experience the Akashic Records the same exact way. Even the same person accessing the Records on two different occasions will likely have two different experiences. The Akashic Records will ALWAYS provide you with whatever you most need to heal, see, understand, feel, or know. The Records will orchestrate the most relevant, useful, meaningful, and necessary experience for you, every single time you journey there. To illustrate this point, I'm sharing two real case studies in this episode of INNER WORK: one of my very first openings of the Records back in 2004, and a recent opening from one of my Akashic Records Certification students. These openings are completely different experiences, and both are completely valid. In my 2004 opening, I found myself standing before massive, ancient wooden doors — carved, alive, waiting. What came through was a flood of light, a sense of homecoming, and a guide I hadn't met before: a Wizard-like figure who turned out to be one of my own Guides (a "Master") in the Records. There was a forehead-to-forehead energy exchange, a merging of light, and a wave of unconditional Love unlike anything I'd felt before. My student's experience was nothing like that. She went in with no agenda, just practicing surrender. What she got wasn't visions or grand revelations — instead, she initially came up against frustration, self-judgment, and the fear of disappointment... all common patterns she had been carrying in her life previously. The Records brought these up so she could fully feel them, see them for what they were, and then release them through an overwhelming wave of self-compassion that showed up as warmth, an orb of light, some tears, and colors swirling in her heart. Her healing was quieter, internal, and just as profound. The Akashic Records don't work off a script or specific expectations of what "should" happen when you connect. Sometimes you'll see things. Sometimes you'll hear things. Sometimes you'll just FEEL: a sensation, an emotion, a knowing. Sometimes "nothing" seems to happen at all, other than a deep silence... because that's the exact medicine you needed that day. Staying open to this vast range of possibilities is a key practice and the best way to receive what you MOST need from the Records, every single time.

A lot of us spend time outside. We run, ride, hike, train, explore, and use nature as a place to play or pursue our goals. But does spending time in nature actually mean we're connected to it?This episode was inspired by something I heard during a recent breathwork session: many of us use nature without being in relationship with nature. That idea made me think about my own life as an athlete, and all the years I spent outside focused on intervals, performance, Strava times, and self-improvement without always noticing the world I was moving through.In this solo episode, I explore the research around nature connectedness and the difference between simply being outside and actually feeling like you're part of the natural world.I talk about:- Awe- The “small self”- Meaning- Curiosity- Sensory awareness- Simple ways we can become more present outside without giving up our workouts or performance goalsI'm not encouraging us to slow down all the time. I'm talking about occasionally looking up, paying attention, and remembering that nature can be more than the backdrop for what we're trying to accomplish.What might change if we stopped only using nature, and started building a relationship with it? LINKS- Nature Connectedness & Well-Being with Molly Peterson & Dr. Holli-Anne Passmore- Mindfulness in Action: Grounding in Nature- Movement, Nature, and Connection for Optimal Well-Being with John Ratey--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

This week in Insurance Town, Mayor sits down with longtime friend and fellow insurance leader Heath Barnett, co-owner of Legacy, for a conversation about growth, culture, ownership, and building a business people actually want to be part of.Heath Barnett is an insurance agency leader and co-owner of Legacy. After beginning his career in the captive insurance world, Heath transitioned into the independent channel and helped build Legacy into a multi-state insurance organization.His leadership philosophy centers on developing people, creating opportunities for ownership, giving local leaders autonomy, and building an organization where professional success doesn't have to come at the expense of family and the things that matter most.Heath's story starts in Memphis, Texas, where he grew up around agriculture, small-town relationships, and a family Farmers agency. After working alongside his grandfather and eventually purchasing the agency, Heath began seeing opportunities beyond the captive model. That journey ultimately led him into the independent insurance world and to what has become Legacy—an organization that has grown to roughly 250 people across multiple states.But this episode isn't simply about getting bigger.It's about how you grow without losing who you are.Heath and Mayor talk about the importance of training agents to understand what they are actually selling instead of competing on price alone. They dig into what the captive world can teach independent agencies about carrier training and development, why Legacy intentionally recruits coaches and teachers, and why the right culture can become one of the strongest recruiting and retention tools an agency has.They also get into ownership, succession planning, producer autonomy, burnout, family priorities, faith, and creating an organization where people have the opportunity to build something of their own.If you're an agency owner thinking about growth, recruiting, producer development, culture, or succession, there are plenty of nuggets in this one.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Welcome to Insurance Town03:21 – Meet Heath Barnett09:27 – Leaving the captive model for the independent channel10:34 – Rebuilding culture in the independent insurance world15:43 – What Farmers got right about training and support18:26 – Stop selling price and start understanding the product21:54 – Why Legacy recruits coaches and teachers29:19 – Burnout, family priorities, and faith at work32:53 – The original vision for Legacy's growth36:54 – Why producers choose the Legacy model41:41 – Ownership, succession, and protecting an agent's book43:42 – Why Legacy moved beyond the traditional last-name agency model44:53 – Connecting with Heath Barnett and Legacy45:45 – Legacy's growing multi-state footprint46:02 – What could be next for Legacy49:19 – Texas football, Texas Tech, and the Longhorns51:15 – Closing thoughtsLearn more about Legacy at legacyinsurance1.com.Proud Partners of Insurance TownCanopy ConnectStop chasing down declaration pages and PDFs.

If you're ready to get measured results for both personally and professionally, schedule an appointment with Jahmaal Pastor Aaron Graham joins me to talk about his new book, Unshakeable Faith, and why writing it required him to confront his own fear of conflict. Aaron is the founder and lead pastor of The District Church, a multicultural congregation in Washington, DC, representing more than 80 nations. He has spent over 15 years pastoring in the nation's capital and holds a master's degree in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School. Our conversation centers on what happens when grief, fear, and disappointment go unprocessed. We talk about the doubts that can emerge after a painful loss, the church's response to racial injustice, and the pressure to choose a political side rather than remain grounded in your convictions. Aaron also shares why justice requires more than spare change, how online outrage affects our interior lives, and what it looks like to hold onto both conviction and compassion in a deeply divided world.

  In this episode of our Goddess series, Kathleen Joan and I explore Mary Magdalene, the woman behind the stories, her place in early Christianity, and why her presence still matters so deeply today.    Mary Magdalene was a real woman who walked the earth. She was a devoted follower and the wife of Jesus, a spiritual leader in her own right, and a powerful presence in the resurrection story. And yet, over the centuries, her role was diminished, rewritten, and in many ways pushed to the edges.    So Kathleen and I ask a different question.    What happens when we bring Mary Magdalene back into the center of the story?    We explore the woman she was, the wisdom she carried, and how she has become such a powerful expression of the Divine Feminine for women who are hungry for a deeper, fuller understanding of the sacred.    My co-host for this series is Kathleen Joan, a priestess of Brigid devoted to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine in today's world, especially for women with Christian ancestry. Kathleen spent more than 15 years in ministry and holds a dual Master's degree in theology and ministry. Today, she brings that deep understanding of the Christian tradition into her work helping women reclaim the wild, sacred Feminine through Goddess teachings, channeling, energy healing, circles, and retreats.    Like Mary Magdalene, the Feminine has been erased, softened, and minimized in so many of our sacred stories.    But she was never truly gone. This conversation is an invitation to remember her, reclaim what was pushed aside, and make room again for the sacred Feminine wisdom that has been there all along.      Episode Highlights    00:00 — Introducing Mary Magdalene Knowing Mary Magdalene from three perspectives: the stories told about her, the historical person who lived, and the spiritual presence many people continue to connect with today.  02:27 — The Apostle to the Apostles Mary Magdalene is consistently named as the first witness to Jesus' resurrection. Her role as the person who carried that news forward gives her a foundational place in the Christian story.  06:28 — How Official Religious Narratives Were Shaped The episode examines how religious authorities established official teachings centuries after Jesus' death. Many writings associated with Mary and other women were excluded, hidden, destroyed, or lost, leaving gaps in the historical record.  08:39 — The First Message of Resurrection The central Christian message of life continuing after death was first brought to the community by Mary Magdalene. Her testimony was initially dismissed, revealing how women's spiritual authority was questioned even when they carried the core message of the faith.  11:48 — Why Her Teachings Were Threatening The idea that Jesus would teach a woman profound spiritual truths challenged emerging patriarchal leadership structures. Mary's experience was questioned because it did not fit the belief that divine knowledge should be controlled by male authorities.  12:43 — Connecting with the Divine Through the Heart Mary's message emphasizes that people can access the divine through their own hearts. Spiritual connection does not necessarily require an external institution to define or authorize the experience.  18:01 — Reclaiming the Feminine Story Mary's message focuses on correcting the narrative around her and restoring the feminine presence in sacred traditions.   20:23 — Seeing the Feminine in the Divine The divine is described as far more expansive than a solely male figure.   23:19 — Passion as Spiritual Power Passion, devotion, and deep feeling are described as spiritual powers that connect people with their loved ones, their souls, and the divine.  24:23 — The Divine Power of Devotion Love is framed as a force that lives within the body, heart, and whole human experience. Devotion can help keep wisdom and connection alive even through loss and separation.     Mentioned  Wild Wisdom Goddess Temple is Kathleen's online circle where Christian-rooted women reclaim their whole selves as sacred through the Divine Feminine. This 13-moon journey will help you return to honoring the Sacred She within as you meet Her in Her many names & forms, supported by a loving circle of sisterhood.  The Wealthy Witch Way is Julie's membership. Inside we weave together money work, magic, ritual, the Akashic Records, and feminine business wisdom to help you deepen your connection to Source, expand your receiving, and grow the work you're here to do profitably.    Connect with Kathleen Joan    Website: https://www.brigidsflame.org/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathleenjoanns   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brigidsflameministry   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brigidsflame-kj     Connect with Julie Foucht     Membership:  https://juliefoucht.com/wealthywitchway/  Website: https://juliefoucht.com/   Quiz: https://bit.ly/witchpreneur-quiz  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artoffemininebusiness/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JulieFouchtCoaching/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FeminineMarketingMagic/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieFoucht   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjulz/  Podcast: The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht at https://juliefoucht.com/podcast/    

You're paying for tastings, winning placements, and sending teams into the field. But can you tell which of those investments are actually driving sales?For too many drinks companies, the answer is no. The relevant data is buried in spreadsheets, email chains, and program recaps that arrive months after the money is spent.In this sponsored episode of Business of Drinks, Erica Duecy sits down with Ian Ferguson, CEO of PIÑATA, to explore how brands can connect what happens in the field to the numbers that guide their next investment.The conversation grew out of our interview with Saint Spritz's Ben Patton, who revealed that the brand uses PIÑATA to manage its nationwide team of roughly 100 brand ambassadors. But the opportunity extends well beyond scheduling tastings: It's about helping sales, marketing, distributors, and agencies act on the same information.One example: Ian says PIÑATA has seen sell-through nearly double when in-store activations were backed by an end cap display. Yet the teams booking tastings often don't know where those displays are happening. PIÑATA helps surface those details across teams and agencies. We dig into:Why sampling ROI can be misleading: A tasting that helps win an opening order serves a different purpose from one supporting inventory already on the shelf. Measuring them the same way can lead to the wrong conclusions.What happens after a national account win: How to turn an authorization into actual placements, communicate expectations to distributors, and spot gaps in execution.How to measure trade relationships: Connecting bartender engagement and event guest lists to account performance over time.Where lean teams waste resources: From tastings at stores with no inventory to multiple people calling on the same accounts while others go unsupported.What emerging brands need to prove next: Working backward from a buyer or distributor meeting to capture the evidence that will help open doors.For anyone trying to make a limited commercial budget work harder, this conversation gets specific about where to start.

In this episode, Professor AG explores what it looks like to let go of the need to control every outcome and make life feel fun, magical, and meaningful again. She dives into the idea of embracing life as it unfolds, even when it looks different than what she had planned, and shares how surrender, curiosity, and releasing judgment can create more peace and aliveness. From reconnecting with the inner child and creating more whimsy in everyday life to embracing the concept of amor fati and seeing life's challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, she encourages us to stop taking everything so seriously, get curious about what life is showing us, and find our way back to the parts of ourselves that feel most alive.Spend the day with me!10.10 Portal day Pop-up Readings, dancing, and community in 30A BUY YOUR TICKET HEREAG's Book ClubThe Calamity Club by Kathryn StockettMY APP IS HERE!!Daily somatic classes to regulate your nervous system.  Start your FREE trial today.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Anna Grace's spiritual journey02:00 Praying to Mother Nature and divine feminine archetypes03:50 Balancing masculine and feminine energy in daily life05:58 Upcoming retreats and community events08:08 Making life more whimsical and intentional09:51 Using Pinterest to curate seasonal vibes12:03 Creating a sacred altar and connecting with ancestors17:04 The importance of inner child work and playful creativity20:00 Connecting with childhood memories through Pinterest22:55 Book recommendations for fall cozy reading24:51 The significance of somatic healing and nervous system regulation27:00 Join the AG University app for emotional regulation30:06 Acceptance, amor fati, and embracing life's challenges33:01 The journey of spiritual awakening and returning to presence35:58 Observing life without judgment for growth41:02 The mantra: It's not that serious41:52 Love, connection, and trusting life's divine designKeywords: feminine energy, inner child, spiritual practice, somatic healing, acceptance, love of fate, self-care, mindfulness, intuition, wellnessWhat is AGU? After launching an energy work practice rooted in the Akashic Records, AG uncovered so much information that she needs the world to hear!

This week on The Business of Watches, a veteran watch industry CEO who is taking on one of the biggest and most demanding challenges of his storied career. Julien Tornare is the head of Hublot, the irreverent and ground-breaking brand controlled by LVMH that's trying to reclaim some of its former glory and role as a trend-setter in industry innovation. An affable and talented business leader, Tornare has spent almost three decades in the watch world, with Vacheron Constantin and Richemont, and then as the chief executive of Zenith, where he oversaw a dramatic revival and upswing for the El Primero maker. He then had a brief tenure as the CEO of TAG Heuer, before joining Hublot as the big boss in 2024. Tornare talks about Hublot's turbulent journey over the past four decades, and the spirit that's reflected in the brand's unconventional and outspoken ambassadors. He also takes on the marque's critics, making the case for why the YouTuber shots are largely unjustified. As for where Hublot is going, that's partly where it has been, as Tornare discusses the influence of Hublot's Italian founder Carlo Crocco as the company reconsiders its legacy ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2030. There's also news of a major new partnership with legendary American artist Jeff Koons, who is bringing his artistic vision to the watch brand for the first time with a series of bold collaborations. We also discuss the role that Jean Arnault, long considered the true watch enthusiast in the Arnault clan, now has with the brand.

After her first child was born, Andrea Patterson thought she was a bad mom. She was barely sleeping, overwhelmed by anxiety, and afraid to say some of her thoughts out loud. Connecting with other parents through peer support helped her understand what she was going through. Today, she supports families as a perinatal peer support counsellor with Pacific Post Partum Support Society.Andrea joins Jeremie, Brian, and Taylor to talk about intrusive thoughts, the fear of asking for help, the toll of sleep deprivation, and what partners and loved ones can actually do. They also discuss the public reaction to the Lindsay Clancy case without speculating about anyone involved.Content note: Content note: This episode discusses suicidal thoughts, intrusive thoughts, and the deaths of children.

"Your identity is bigger than the game, and the skills you build as an athlete can become the foundation for your future."  — Chloe Barnes-Henderson What happens when the identity you've built around being an athlete no longer fits? In this episode of Turmeric & Tequila, I'm catching up with one of my favorite humans, Chloe Barnes-Henderson, for a conversation about student-athlete identity, mental health, entrepreneurship, NIL, artificial intelligence, and building a future where more young people have access to opportunity. Chloe is a former Division I basketball student-athlete, technology executive, professor, and entrepreneur. After a career that included leadership roles at Twitter, IPG Media Brands, and Oscar Health, she is now working to reimagine how young people prepare for the future of work through the Athletech Academy and Athletech LLC. We start with the athlete experience—what happens when an injury changes your identity, how difficult it can be to find purpose outside of sport, and why the life skills developed through athletics can become the foundation for an entirely new career. From there, we get into the business of social media, the realities of NIL, and why young athletes need more than monetization opportunities. They need education, support, ethical guidance, and the tools to navigate a world where their personal brand follows them long after the game ends. Chloe also shares how her experiences in corporate America, including the challenges of her final corporate role, helped clarify the work she was meant to do next.  We talk about: • Student-athlete identity and finding purpose beyond sport • Mental health, career transitions, and knowing when to choose a different path • The business and cultural impact of social media • NIL education, contracts, brand partnerships, and financial wellness • AI upskilling and preparing young people for the future of work • Why sports can be the gateway to entrepreneurship and opportunity • Building a more accessible ecosystem for students, athletes, and communities This is a conversation about graceful disruption, choosing purpose over the expected path, and using everything you've learned to build something that matters. Because sometimes the next chapter isn't about starting over. It's about finally putting all the pieces together.

What happens when one dance trip changes the direction of your life?In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Copard in his giant hammock during Herräng Dance Camp in Sweden.Jonathan grew up in New Zealand and discovered social dancing through a cèilidh, a Scottish social dance event, right at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Not long after, he found swing dancing, and what started as curiosity eventually led him across Europe and into a new life in London.We talk about:• Jonathan's first social dance experience at a cèilidh in New Zealand• Learning swing dancing during the COVID years• Moving from New Zealand to London for dance• Movement on the dance floor and how space shapes a dance• Why swing dance can be seen as a dance of constraints• Dancing until sunrise and making friends at Herräng• Connecting with live musicians while dancing• Why everyone should feel welcome to ask someone to danceThis episode might resonate with you if you've ever felt nervous asking someone to dance or found yourself chasing those rare moments when everything clicks and you stop thinking.Jonathan's story is a reminder that dancing is not only about what happens on the dance floor. Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen in between. Over a swim after an all-night social. A shout-out to Herräng Dance Camp:This episode has been recorded in the third week of Herräng Dance Camp 2026, Sweden. Thank you for the space, the music, and the people who make conversations like this possible.______________________________________________​Subscribe & review the podcast to help me grow

Spill the Tea with Dr. T | Biological Medicine vs. Functional Medicine — and Why We Don't Chase SymptomsIf you've ever walked out of a doctor's appointment with a prescription that addressed what you felt but not why you felt it... this conversation is for you.In this episode of Spill the Tea with Dr. T, Julie sits down with her father Dr. Dickson Thom — biological medicine practitioner with over twenty years of clinical experience — to answer one of the questions they get asked most:What is biological medicine? And how is it different from functional medicine?It's a question that deserves a real answer. Because the difference isn't just semantics. It changes everything about how you assess the body, how you prioritize treatment, and whether you're actually getting to the root of what's going on — or just managing how it feels.In this episode:What biological medicine actually is and where it comes fromHow it differs from functional medicine — and why that distinction matters for your healingWhy biological medicine does not chase symptoms — and what it focuses on insteadHow the body communicates dysfunction before symptoms ever appearWhy treating the terrain changes outcomes that symptom-focused care can't reachWhat to look for when choosing a practitioner who actually works this wayThis is the episode to share with anyone who has ever felt like their care was missing something. Who has done the labs, followed the protocol, and still felt stuck. Who is starting to wonder if there's a different way to look at health entirely.There is. And this is where that conversation starts.

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

What if the empire you built became the thing you got lost inside? In this episode, Michael Fineman, author of The Authority Drift and co-founder of the Les Brown Prodigy Program, shares how a kid who was on his own at 15 taught himself to be an adult by listening to Les Brown cassettes in a beat-up car, and later found himself sitting across the table inking a deal with the man himself. Michael's work centers on one idea: high achievers build remarkable things and then mistake those things for their identity. When the business sells or the market shifts, they go down with it. This conversation is about catching that drift before it costs you everything. [00:05:27] What He Does and Who He Serves Spent years in corporate marketing and sales before breaking out Co-founded a supplement company helping brands create innovative products Launched clean, ethical consumer brands and later stepped back from daily operations Now focused on speaking, coaching, and his new book The Authority Drift [00:06:49] What Inspires Him Loves watching people find their true identity Many professionals do something remarkable and then become it When you are attached to a product, you go down with it if it fails Helping someone take the mask off produces joy, peace, and freedom [00:08:34] Why Masterminds Can Make It Worse Best-practice rooms create pressure to always be crushing it People feel they must show up performing rather than asking for help Entrepreneurship is ebbs and flows and every solved problem invites the next Michael jokes that constant whining is the real tell [00:09:44] What Authority Drift Actually Means People build a mask based on other people's expectations They construct an amazing life that does not agree with their center They build an empire and then get lost within its walls Founders who exit after 20 years often end up completely lost [00:11:58] The Working Dog Analogy His daughter has a highly trained Belgian Malinois that needs work to survive Without a job to do, the dog becomes agitated and directionless Remove the work entirely and a dog like that would not make it People are the same, but purpose cannot be attached to what you do [00:13:00] Where Real Identity Comes From Michael is faith-based and describes himself as a completed Jew For him identity came down to whose he was, not what he did Without that anchor, the path is stillness and returning to childhood dreams At six he wanted to make TV commercials and today he makes ads [00:14:53] Walking His Son Through It His son was on a serious basketball track before an injury ended it Performance anxiety had already been building beforehand Michael brought him back to his faith and to the difference between doing and being His son found Christian rap and is now writing again in a new form [00:15:52] The Question Most People Cannot Answer He asks people what they would do if money did not matter Most cannot answer because they buried that dream years ago The answer requires being genuinely alone and undistracted Make it a practice for a couple of weeks and it surfaces [00:18:30] The Tactical Way to Show You Are Not Taking On a first Zoom, ask the person how you can serve them People physically pull back because nobody has ever asked It immediately signals you are there to give, not extract [00:19:00] Client Impact: Jose G. Lopez Met Jose pre-COVID when he was 16 or 17 and nobody took him seriously Jose had met Les Brown but could not close anything with him Michael re-engaged the conversation and they started a company with Les together It catapulted Jose's career [00:20:03] Connecting for the Sake of It Currently connecting a hip hop producer with a triple platinum credit to a major clothing industry contact Has never charged for making introductions Feels like he participated even when he makes nothing from it The end users will never know he was there, and that is fine [00:22:58] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Les Brown Was on his own at 15 teaching himself how to be an adult Listened to Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and Les Brown on cassettes in his old car Years later got Les on the phone and told him directly he was the guy to build his program They launched the Les Brown Prodigy Program together pre-COVID [00:24:49] The Compliment That Changed What He Thought Was Possible Coached side by side with Les through COVID to thousands of people online The day they inked the deal in Miami, Les said the meeting was for Michael, not himself Les's son told him what he liked was that Michael was not trying to be Les Brown Those words sent him to the moon and he never looked back [00:26:20] What Came Next Found the guts to quit corporate and take off the golden handcuffs Started the supplement companies that funded the next stage That funded the speaking, the courses, the funnels, and the book Now building high-level coaching around The Authority Reset program [00:27:03] The Cohorts and the Experiential Events Six men come through a nine-week online program together Between weeks three and four they meet Michael for something outside their norm Options include flying a fighter jet or following the Iditarod by helicopter The point is to break the pattern and then go deep on identity [00:28:49] Blake's Story Blake was building a concierge wellness practice for high achievers He was snapping at his kids, his wife, and his employees from constant stress The cohort helped him separate who he is from what he is building He became more loving at home and more present with his team [00:30:18] Impact That Runs Generationally One participant was 65 and another mentor figure was 70 The 70-year-old is a high-achieving minister who shifted his life direction The program is a relatively new launch and still early Michael wants to make an impact that helps others make generational impact KEY QUOTES "My identity is not rooted in what I've achieved or what I've done. My identity is rooted in who I am and whose I am." - Michael Fineman "They find out that they've built this amazing empire, but they get lost within its walls because it doesn't really align with who they actually are." - Michael Fineman "We all have the drive that we're headed towards this place, this destination, and at the end, guess who's there with you? You are." - Michael Fineman CONNECT WITH MICHAEL FINEMAN Website: https://www.authoritydrift.com Book: https://www.authoritydriftbook.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-n-fineman-the-dot-connector-2a844b13 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mike.fineman.7   Thanks for tuning in!

How do leaders stay effective when work is changing faster than ever? Melissa Swift, author of Effective: How to Do Great Work in a Fast-Changing World, joins Charles Good on The Good Leadership Podcast to explore what effectiveness really looks like in an era of AI, constant disruption, workplace overload, and organizational chaos. Melissa shares her Effectiveness Architecture (knowledge, methods, people, and technology) and explains why working harder is often not the same as working better. The conversation dives into some of the toughest challenges facing leaders today: managing rumors and gossip without becoming part of them, leading with transparency during uncertainty, distinguishing unavoidable chaos from self-inflicted organizational dysfunction, and recognizing when structural problems make effectiveness nearly impossible. Melissa also explains how leaders can redesign work, clarify roles, reduce unnecessary complexity, and create the conditions for people to perform at their best. Charles and Melissa also explore the future of leadership in an AI-driven workplace, including how great leaders can use AI to extend their thinking rather than outsource it, why emotionally intelligent managers remain essential, and why hope may become one of the most important human leadership capabilities of the future. If you want practical strategies to become more effective, reduce workplace chaos, improve communication, and lead through rapid change, this episode offers a powerful playbook.Melissa Swift is a founder, CEO, speaker, and longtime people consultant who helps organizations, teams, and individuals succeed in increasingly complex and chaotic workplaces. She has held leadership roles at Mercer, Korn Ferry, and Deloitte and is the author of Effective: How to Do Great Work in a Fast-Changing World. Her work focuses on helping people and organizations improve effectiveness by strengthening how they use knowledge, methods, relationships, and technology.Chapters00:00 Introduction to effectiveness in leadership01:16 Melissa introduces the effectiveness architecture02:12 Managing rumors and gossip effectively03:25 Adopting an open but discerning stance04:23 Using peer leadership to clarify signals05:18 Responding to rumors and maintaining boundaries06:30 The power of transparency during ambiguity09:21 Understanding different types of chaos12:05 Recognizing self-inflicted chaos and zombie cabin environments14:38 Creating structural changes to reduce chaos15:22 Signs of structural barriers to effectiveness17:27 Planning a thoughtful exit from intractable roles19:44 The impact of emotionally intelligent management22:55 Technology's role in leadership and management24:39 Partnering with AI to extend leadership capabilities26:34 Cultivating hope as a leadership skill29:15 One small action for leaders to improve effectiveness30:03 Connecting with Melissa Swift and her workSubscribe to The Good Leadership Podcast: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/charlesagood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack Channel (Outlearn to Outperform): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠charlesgood.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn Newsletter (The Outlearn Advantage): [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Institute for Management Studies

Teatime Guest: Wendy Jensen September 15th, 2026 | 3 PM ESTFounder of Scandinavian Hearts • E-Commerce Expert • Best-Selling Children's FROM CORPORATE SUCCESS TO SCANDINAVIAN HEARTS Motherhood • Heritage • Reinvention • Building a Business That Connects Generations. On September 15th at 3 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Wendy Jensen of Scandinavian Hearts⁠ for a conversation about what happens when success no longer feels like enough—and purpose begins calling you somewhere new. Wendy brings more than 20 years of e-commerce experience, but one of the biggest transformations of her life didn't begin in a boardroom. It began with motherhood. Becoming a mom made Wendy look at the life and career she had built differently. She began questioning whether her accomplishments reflected the person she was becoming. That questioning eventually took her away from a high-level corporate executive career and toward something deeply connected to her identity and heritage: Scandinavian Hearts. Today, her work brings together culture, family, storytelling, entrepreneurship and belonging, creating ways for generations to connect with Scandinavian heritage. Her journey also opened another door—children's literature. Wendy became a best-selling children's author, with four books and counting, creating stories that celebrate identity, culture and belonging. This Teatime isn't simply about leaving corporate life to start a business. It's about asking: Can reinvention actually bring us closer to who we've always been? Welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz, where every guest brings their own story, experiences and lessons to the table. Sometimes transformation begins because something goes wrong. But sometimes transformation begins because something goes beautifully right—and suddenly changes how we see everything else. For my guest Wendy Jensen, that moment was becoming a mother. Wendy had spent more than two decades developing expertise in e-commerce and building a successful corporate career. But motherhood opened a different conversation within her. Who am I becoming? What do I want my children to know about where they come from? And does the life I've built still represent the life I want to live? Those questions eventually gave birth to Scandinavian Hearts, a business rooted in Wendy's heritage and built around something much larger than products: Connection. Connection between generations.Connection to culture.Connection to family stories.And connection to ourselves. She has also carried that mission into children's literature, becoming a best-selling children's author who wants young readers to see identity, heritage and belonging celebrated through stories. Today we're talking about motherhood, entrepreneurship, cultural roots, reinvention and what happens when professional expertise meets personal purpose. Wendy's story reminds us that reinvention doesn't necessarily mean throwing away everything we've already built. Sometimes we carry it forward differently. Twenty years of professional knowledge didn't disappear when Wendy changed direction. It became a tool. Her heritage became a foundation. Motherhood became a catalyst. Storytelling became another bridge. And Scandinavian Hearts became a way of bringing those pieces together. That is something important for anyone sitting at a crossroads. You don't necessarily have to know exactly where you're going before you begin questioning where you are. Sometimes the first step toward a different life is simply being willing to ask: Does the life I've built still reflect who I'm becoming?

"My data is too messy for AI."We hear it on almost every call. Barry Chiu thinks it's the wrong way round.Consider this a contractor's guide to data and AI.Nobody has clean data at the raw level. Not one contractor.You can't know how bad yours is until it's all in one place and you can put the systems side by side.When you find that job numbers don't match across two systems, that's your first win, not a setback.His line on it: "you're already a step ahead of a lot of people, because people are not even aware of how bad the data is."Waiting until your data is clean means waiting forever.In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we sit down with Barry Chiu, CEO and co-founder of Kroo, to unpack why the obsession with "clean data" is holding contractors back from using AI.Full episode out on YouTube and Spotify!

In this episode, Jennie and McKinley discuss: An essential companion for business Technology should be easy Gamifying to create habits Connecting to your team Key Takeaways: Technology has been business leaders' constant companion, it's a great tool for training and communications. Growing your business will mean that you embrace growing technologies. New technology shouldn't have to require a Ph.D. to operate, it has to be approachable and easily operable for it to be effective. Gamifying difficult or repetitive tasks is a good way to create and sustain good habits. Being connected to your team, being present in their milestones, and following up on each new success is essential on growing your team and your business as a whole "The tools had to do the work… they allow the individual to become the messenger and not have to be the message." — McKinley Oswald About McKinley Oswald: For the past 25 years, McKinley Oswald has been heavily involved in working with direct sales companies and industry leaders to help them achieve success. His full-time contributions at Verb began after graduating from the University of Utah in 1998 when he became involved in the culture and direction of Sound Concepts (the company that was acquired by Verb in 2019). Although it originally started with kit assembly and cassette duplication, the company has now progressed far beyond that to offer a diverse lineup of sales-enablement tools and marketing services on the Verb digital platform.

The most dangerous thing in business is not being invisible. It is believing you are visible when nobody notices you.In the Season 95 premiere of the Culture Matters Podcast, Jay Doran sits down with Jared Lazaroff, a sales and business development professional with more than 25 years of experience across automotive, digital marketing, branding, signage, and other industries, for a conversation about sales, relationships, reputation, accountability, kindness, and what actually makes people want to do business with you.Jared's philosophy on sales is remarkably simple: talk to people, listen when they talk back, and treat them like human beings.Early in his automotive career, Jared learned a lesson he has never forgotten. A customer walked onto the lot looking rough around the edges, and nobody wanted to approach him. Jared did. What appeared to be an undesirable prospect turned into one of his most memorable sales when the customer revealed he had driven up from Florida in a Dodge Viper and proceeded to pay cash for a vehicle while purchasing nearly every additional product available.The lesson had very little to do with the commission.Do not judge the person standing in front of you.Every person deserves respect, whether they ultimately buy from you or not. And even when someone does not become a customer, the way you treat them can become the reason they remember you, refer you, or come back years later.That mindset has shaped the way Jared has built his career. Rather than constantly chasing the next transaction, he focuses heavily on existing customers, repeat business, referrals, and becoming someone people trust enough to call again.Jay and Jared also explore what bad organizational cultures taught Jared about good ones. Earlier environments filled with screaming, threats, disrespect, and poor communication became examples of the leader he did not want to become. Experience taught him that accountability does not require humiliation and leadership does not require intimidation.For Jared, accountability means being present, knowing what you want, doing the work, following through on what you promised, and understanding that other people are trusting you to deliver.It also requires a plan.Jared has carried some form of physical planner or notebook for roughly 15 to 20 years. Ideas get written down. Tasks get tracked. Commitments get crossed off. In an increasingly digital world, the practice remains one of the systems that keeps him focused and accountable.Because saying you want to double your business is not a strategy.What are you actually going to do differently?The conversation eventually moves beyond business and into the principles Jared hopes define his life: respect, integrity, understanding, and kindness.Those values show up in small moments. Holding a door. Complimenting someone who has been working hard. Helping a customer solve a problem outside your own area of expertise. Connecting someone to another professional without expecting anything in return. Staying calm when something goes wrong instead of making another person's day miserable.Jared believes those moments compound.In this episode, Jay and Jared discuss why first impressions matter, the importance of listening in sales, overcoming cold-call reluctance, why you should never prejudge a customer, building a career through referrals and repeat business, how bad culture can teach you what good leadership looks like, accountability as a personal standard, why hard work creates more opportunities for luck, balancing professional ambition with fitness and family, how fatherhood changes responsibility, why clarity about who you are matters, the importance of having a plan, using a daily planner to create accountability, why good leaders listen instead of simply giving orders, how kindness changes difficult interactions, the value of connecting people without expecting something in return, and why integrity becomes increasingly valuable in a world where authenticity can be difficult to identify.One of the strongest lessons in Jared's career is that problems are inevitable. Customers will be disappointed. Products will fail. Plans will change. Rooms will not be ready. Things outside your control will happen.Your reputation is built by what happens next.You can scream, blame, threaten, and make everyone around you miserable. Or you can communicate, remain respectful, understand the other person's position, and work toward a solution.The problem may be exactly the same.The culture you create around the problem is your choice.Twenty years from now, Jared hopes his daughter can look at the life he built and be proud. Not simply because of what he sold, how much business he generated, or how successful he became, but because of what he stood for.Respect. Integrity. Understanding. Kindness.Because great salespeople understand something that applies far beyond sales: people may initially notice what you sell, what you build, or how you present yourself.But they come back because of how you treated them.

You can name the wound. You can trace it back to where it started. So why does the same nerve still get hit, and why do you still react the same way?In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager talks about a pattern he sees often in his practice: people who have spent years in therapy, who understand their childhood and their patterns, and who still get flooded when their partner touches a sore spot. Todd is clear that understanding yourself is worth doing. His point is that it isn't enough on its own.He walks through the internal family systems (IFS) model and the parts most people are living with without realizing it. The exiled parts carry the old wounds. The managers keep those wounds at a distance so you can function and succeed. The people-pleaser works to make sure people like you, because the exiled part never felt good enough. The firefighter shows up when something gets too close to the wound and puts out the fire however it can, through spending, food, escape into a device, or an affair.Todd explains why traditional talk therapy tends to stay inside the narrative of your story and your history, while your parts live somewhere else entirely, in your body and your nervous system. A five-year-old carrying "I'm not safe" does not respond to hearing the reason it feels that way. It responds to being found and witnessed by Self, the part of you with the capacity to be calm, curious, compassionate and present. Protectors don't step aside because they've been analyzed. They step aside when they trust that Self can handle what's underneath.Drawing on his years teaching students about attuning to children, Todd makes the same case for attuning to your own parts. Talking about a part is not the same as being with one.If you've done the work and you're still stuck, Todd's message is that the problem was never your effort. Comment or reach out if this sounds like your experience. There is hope, and IFS is a vehicle that carries it.

Why are we more connected than ever—and yet feeling increasingly disconnected from ourselves, each other, and love? In this powerful conversation, Sabrina Lynn sits down with internationally renowned singer, feminine wisdom teacher, and author Peruquois to explore our changing relationship with love, feminine and masculine energy, technology, embodiment, and the human voice. From our dependence on phones to the deeper wounds that silence women, Peruquois reveals why returning to the body—and what she calls the “flow of love”—may be more important than ever. They dive into the healing power of sound, breath, movement, and feminine embodiment, including Peruquois' 30+ years of helping women reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their voices. Sabrina also shares how attending one of Peruquois' workshops transformed her own relationship with sound, opening something movement and breath alone had never reached. Together, they explore why women become afraid to use their voice, how trauma and ancestral pain can live in the body, and what becomes possible when we finally give ourselves permission to express what has been held beneath the surface.

Most men will never come close to the kind of suffering Brent Oliver has lived through. And, that's exactly why this conversation matters. Today we're talking about the difference between a man who lets his circumstances define him and a man who decides, moment by moment, that he's still the one in control. You're going to hear what it actually looks like to rebuild a body and a mind from nothing, and why the story you tell yourself about your pain determines whether it makes you dangerous or makes you soft. This episode is about the strength to overcome the worst moments of your life and the idea that these moments aren't happening to you, they're shaping you into either a weapon or a victim. Brent breaks down why he refused to let anyone see weakness, why he refuses pain medication to this day, and why "effort equals outcome" isn't a slogan for him; it's the only reason he's alive. If you've ever used your circumstances as an excuse to coast, this conversation is going to make that a lot harder to do.

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, today you're hearing me as the guest — I had the honor of sitting down with my dear friend and Angel Reiki School graduate Cathy Scarpitto on her Healing Waves Reiki Podcast. Kathy asked me things I genuinely don't think I've been asked before — and this conversation went deep. If you're new here, this is a beautiful place to start. And if you've been with me for years, I think you're going to hear something new.

When Jesus turned to two of John's disciples and asked, "What do you want?" (John 1:35-38), it became the question His ministry returns to again and again. In this message, we look at how God's questions throughout Scripture — to Adam, Cain, Moses, Hagar, Jacob, Elijah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel, and eventually blind Bartimaeus and the ambitious disciples James and John — were never about giving God information. They were about exposing what we actually want, because genuine spiritual transformation doesn't begin with what we believe, but with what we want, and pain has a way of creating clarity about what matters most. You'll learn: • Why God's questions in Scripture are never about His need for information, but about awakening ours • Why chemistry and comfort aren't reliable guides for the decisions that shape your future • What blind Bartimaeus's instant answer — "I want to see" — teaches about pain, clarity, and naming what you want from God • Why "you become what you behold" and how to guard what informs you • How to move from a general word (logos) to the specific word God speaks into your exact moment (rhema)
