Be guided with deep connection, compassion, and boundless love. This transformative meditation series is designed to peel back the layers of guardedness and doubt, helping you cultivate a wellspring of Loving-Kindness—first for yourself, and then effortlessly for the world around you.  ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics." Welcome to a new journey on the Daily Meditation Podcast. This week, we are walking The Path to Happiness with the Stoics. When we think of "Stoicism," we often imagine a stiff upper lip or the suppression of emotion. But the ancient Stoics—thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—were actually in pursuit of profound joy. They didn't seek the fleeting happiness of a sugar rush or a new purchase; they sought Eudaimonia (flourishing) and Ataraxia (unshakable tranquility). This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics," episodes 1164-1170. Prepare to shift your perspective. Happiness is not something you chase; it is something you practice. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Control Test" This week, your challenge is to apply the "Control Test" to every moment of friction or anxiety you encounter. Whenever you feel stress rising, pause immediately and ask yourself: "Is this 100% within my control?" If the answer is no, practice visualizing yourself physically dropping the weight of that outcome, redirecting your energy solely toward your own attitude and response. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Inner Joy Visualization  Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am free." Day 3:  Happiness Breath Day 4:  Lotus mudra to open your heart Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for love and compassion Day 6:  Happiness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Skepticism is starting to fade on the Patriots standing atop the entire NFL and the numbers back that up on almost every part of their game.

If you want a different life in 2026, you can't wait for the calendar to change—your transformation begins with the seeds you plant today. Show Notes — "Plant the Seeds of Who You'll Become" In this episode, Baylor breaks down why most resolutions fail and why short-sighted intention is the silent killer of people's goals. We love to talk about change, we love to write our goals out, and we even love to visualize perfect futures—but none of that replaces the long-term mindset required for real growth. Baylor explains the difference between hoping for a goal and becoming the person who achieves it. Instead of only asking, "What do I want to accomplish?" he challenges you to ask, "Who will I be when I get there?" That shift changes everything—your decisions, your discipline, and your ability to push through the inevitable "why am I doing this?" moments. He shares a story from 2016, when a forgotten poster board reappeared years later—covered in "unrealistic" goals that he somehow hit anyway. Not because he stared at them every day… but because planting the seed shifted the trajectory of how he lived. From there, Baylor dives into the real formula: Plant the seed → Water it with action → Grow the garden → Expand the farm. Dreaming is the seed. Action is the water. Consistency is the sunlight. And when the garden grows, you help others grow theirs. This episode is your reminder that intention without action is just imagination. But intention paired with action becomes destiny. What You'll Learn Why short-term resolutions fail The psychological power of long-term intentionality How to shift from "goal setting" to "identity setting" Why planting mental seeds influences future decisions How action—not motivation—waters your goals The danger of waiting for "the right time" Why small actions today create large results tomorrow How to scale your success once you learn your personal formula Featured Quote "You can't plant nothing and expect a harvest."

Peace Envoys and Russian Consistency — Gregory Copley — Copley analyzes the Trump administration's envoys visiting Moscow, contrasting Russia's remarkably consistent long-term strategic objectives with perceived Americaninconsistency and shifting priorities. Copley predicts that U.S.-Russia negotiations will result in substantial territorial concessions to Russia, generating alarm among European allies regarding American commitment to regional security. Copley highlights President Putin's upcoming state visit to India as strategically critical for establishing Russia's post-China global positioning and diversifying geopolitical relationships independent of Western European and Americanengagement frameworks. 1914 RUSSIA ARTILLERY

Welcome to a transformative practice that gently guides you toward unshakeable joy. This session beautifully weaves together the enduring strength of Stoic wisdom—the liberating truth that your inner peace is completely within your control—with the profound power of connection. We begin by setting an intention using a beautiful, grounding mudra , a silent commitment held in your hands. From this centered space, we turn our awareness toward a deeply cherished loved one. We're not seeking attachment; we're practicing the pure, vivid appreciation of their unique beauty. This focused gaze transforms simple love into a powerful, internal source of happiness and gratitude that the external world can never diminish. Step into this moment and discover how virtue, presence, and love create the most resilient happiness of all. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics."

In this raw and hilarious conversation, Channing opens up about his “Welcome to the NFL” moment, the lessons he learned from Hall of Famers Zach Thomas and Junior Seau, and how Nick Saban’s intense coaching style shaped — and tested — him.

Jimmy Rex is a top-producing former real estate agent who closed over 400 transactions in his final year in the business and built a portfolio of more than 50 investment properties. He now runs “We Are The They,” a men's mastermind and leadership group focused on helping high-performing entrepreneurs build better lives, not just bigger businesses, through experiences, coaching, and community. Jimmy is known for his relentless work ethic, his willingness to say what others won't, and his ability to both make money and put it to work through disciplined investing.​ On this episode we talk about: Growing up broke, getting the entrepreneurial itch early, and how selling lemonade and T‑shirts as a kid shaped Jimmy's sales mindset.​ Using a Mormon mission and door‑to‑door meat sales as “the world's greatest sales training program” and how that translated into real estate success.​ The exact prospecting systems, scripts, and daily routines that took Jimmy from a few closings to 60–98 homes per year and 400+ annual transactions with his team.​ Why most agents and entrepreneurs hide in “creative avoidance,” how to fall in love with boring consistency, and why a ruthless 3‑hour daily prospecting block changes everything.​ Lessons from losing big in private deals, why Jimmy now favors index funds and real estate over chasing “sexy” investments, and how he'd rebuild from zero in 2–3 years through sales.​ Top 3 Takeaways Boring, consistent effort beats talent; a simple plan executed every day—like 3 hours of focused prospecting—will outperform almost everyone who won't do the work.​ Sales is the most portable money-making skill; if you can sell and you're willing to outwork others, you can rebuild your life in any market or industry.​ For most people, slow and steady investing in real estate and broad index funds will outperform gambling on private deals, meme coins, or “hot” opportunities driven by FOMO.​ Notable Quotes “Successful people have merely learned to do the things that unsuccessful people don't want to do.”​ “Fall in love with the monotonous routine; the grind itself has to be the win, not just the outcome.”​ “If you're not making at least 200 grand a year, your best investment isn't the stock market—it's your own skills and your network.”​ Connect with Jimmy Rex: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyrex​ Twitter/X: https://x.com/JimmyRex​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjimmyrex​​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Is it too late to invest when the market hits all-time highs? That's the question everybody is asking, and the truth will surprise you. This episode breaks down exactly why trying to "time the market" is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make, and why long-term, consistent investing still outperforms every prediction, headline, and emotion you have. I walk you through the data, not opinions: • Fidelity's study showing the best investors were people who did nothing • How missing just a handful of the best market days destroys your returns • Why staying invested, even at all-time highs, creates far more wealth than waiting for crashes • How students are growing $90K… $140K… even $240K in net worth using a simple, repeatable system • And the psychological trap that keeps most people broke, even when they earn good money This isn't theory. This isn't hype. This is the real, proven, boring-but-powerful strategy that builds wealth every single time. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Why "all-time highs" scare people [2:15] – Emotion vs. data (and why one always loses) [4:40] – The student results you can't ignore [7:30] – Market timing: the most expensive mistake you can make [10:55] – The Fidelity study that shocked everyone [13:10] – Missing the best days: how it kills your returns [16:20] – The $300,000 growth example (data only) [19:45] – Why simple investing beats complicated strategies [22:10] – Final truth: wealth is built by staying in the game Key Takeaways

In today's meditation, we draw inspiration from the Stoics, who believed that peace begins within—and that the mind becomes clearer the moment the body softens. This session guides you through a gentle breathing technique designed to melt tension from your shoulders, unclench the jaw, and steady the thoughts. You'll explore how even the ancient Stoics used simple, intentional breaths to return to the present, regulate strong emotions, and create space between stimulus and response. With each inhale, you invite calm; with each exhale, you let go of what you no longer need. Perfect for releasing physical tightness, clearing mental clutter, and grounding yourself in inner resilience. Tune in, breathe deeply, and let the Stoics lead you back to ease.

In this episode, I talk about why discipline is a silent signal of power. Most people won't see the work you put in, but they'll always see the results. You don't need to talk about being disciplined—your life will show it for you. Real power is quiet, controlled, and proven through action, not noise. I break down how discipline builds an aura that people can feel without you saying a word. Show Notes: [04:13]#1 Discipline Is a strong form of self control.  [09:25]#2 Consistency, in and of itself is an aura.  [15:07]#3 The disciplined man communicates standards without talking.

Today's quick episode is all about the one thing most high achievers avoid but desperately need: space to think.So many of us stay busy out of habit, even when we say we want change. But your next level doesn't come from doing more—it comes from creating room for clarity, intuition, and the ideas you can't access when you're running nonstop.I'm sharing a powerful question I'm giving all my clients for 2026:If a billion-dollar CEO took over your business and life, what are the first three things they'd remove from your plate?To grow, you need four things: clarity, confidence, space, and delegation. And if you think you don't have time for any of this—I promise, your screen time says otherwise. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

More often, it points to the season you were in, what you had the capacity for, and whether the structure around you actually supported the things you were trying to do.I walk you through ten shifts that help you look at your year with more honesty and less self-criticism. We talk about what truly happened this season, how to make your goals fit your actual life, and how to recognize progress that doesn't show up in photos or personal records.You'll also hear why perfection can't be the expectation, why you're not starting over, and what it looks like to train like the version of yourself you're becoming instead of waiting for the perfect stretch of time to feel motivated.Are you feeling behind or discouraged as the year wraps up? This episode is a real conversation to help you step into next season with more steadiness, compassion, and self-trust.

Send us a textEpisode SummaryMost moms work incredibly hard to get better with money, but they still feel like they are constantly starting over. The step they are skipping is not discipline, motivation, or focus. The real missing step is creating a money rhythm that fits their actual life. In this episode, you will learn why your spending plan keeps collapsing, how your patterns pull you back into what feels familiar, and what it really takes to create a system that stays consistent even when your week is chaotic.This episode helps you understand the root of the stop and start cycle and what it takes to build a money system that feels natural, sustainable, and grounded.Key Takeaways1. Consistency comes from rhythm, not discipline.You do not need to push harder. You need a system that works with your life, not against it.2. Your money plan breaks down because it does not match your real day to day life.Most women are trying to follow plans that do not reflect their time, energy, or season of life.3. Your brain defaults to what feels familiar.When you hit friction, you fall back into old patterns even if they no longer help you.4. Unrealistic plans create frustration and burnout.If you would not plan a five course dinner on a busy weekday, you should not build a money system that expects the impossible.5. The missing step is understanding your capacity.Before you try to save more or spend less, you need to understand what you can realistically take on right now.6. When your system aligns with who you are, consistency becomes easy.Once the friction points are removed, you do not have to force yourself to stay on track.Links Mentioned:Join Blueprint Take the FREE Money QuizSubscribe so you don't miss an episode.

Following yesterday's focus on external control, Day 2 guides us into the most powerful territory of all: our Inner Commentary. Negative tendencies—like impatience, self-criticism, or resentment—are rarely caused by the event itself, but rather by the instantaneous, faulty judgment we place upon that event. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics." Welcome to a new journey on the Daily Meditation Podcast. This week, we are walking The Path to Happiness with the Stoics. When we think of "Stoicism," we often imagine a stiff upper lip or the suppression of emotion. But the ancient Stoics—thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—were actually in pursuit of profound joy. They didn't seek the fleeting happiness of a sugar rush or a new purchase; they sought Eudaimonia (flourishing) and Ataraxia (unshakable tranquility). This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics," episodes 1164-1170. Prepare to shift your perspective. Happiness is not something you chase; it is something you practice. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Control Test" This week, your challenge is to apply the "Control Test" to every moment of friction or anxiety you encounter. Whenever you feel stress rising, pause immediately and ask yourself: "Is this 100% within my control?" If the answer is no, practice visualizing yourself physically dropping the weight of that outcome, redirecting your energy solely toward your own attitude and response. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Inner Joy Visualization  Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am free." Day 3:  Happiness Breath Day 4:  Lotus mudra to open your heart Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for love and compassion Day 6:  Happiness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Mid-podcast interview with Courtney Townley, my guest this week, a comment she said stopped me in my tracks.  "I moved from discipline to devotion." She was talking to me about how she reframed the times she showed up to write–moving from discipline (or something she HAD to do), to devotion (focusing on this incredible book that would serve her community). I absolutely love the distinction. Courtney, already known for her poignant reframes around women, midlife and wellness, made the point that women don't need another guru telling them to move their body, stress less and eat kale–we need to understand self-leadership. With over three decades in the wellness industry, she's discovered that deep health isn't about following someone else's manual—it's about writing your own. A sought-after speaker and educator, she blends science with straight talk, helping women navigate behavior change with grace, grit and self-trust. Ladies, this episode is for you–full of nuggets and applicable wisdom–you don't want to miss it!

Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we will discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology.   In today's episode, Chris and Dr. Abbie explore cognitive dissonance, focusing on its impact on self-concept and emotional regulation. They discuss how dissonance occurs when actions conflict with core beliefs, creating psychological tension.

We kick off our new series, The Path to Happiness with the Stoics, by exploring the absolute foundation of emotional freedom: the distinction between the internal and the external world. So much of our daily exhaustion comes from carrying burdens that were never ours to hold—the unpredictable future, the actions of others, or the natural flow of events. Today, we invite a sense of deep relief into our meditation. We will practice drawing a gentle line in the sand, separating what we can influence from what we must simply witness. This isn't about giving up; it is about focusing your energy where it actually matters. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics." Welcome to a new journey on the Daily Meditation Podcast. This week, we are walking The Path to Happiness with the Stoics. When we think of "Stoicism," we often imagine a stiff upper lip or the suppression of emotion. But the ancient Stoics—thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—were actually in pursuit of profound joy. They didn't seek the fleeting happiness of a sugar rush or a new purchase; they sought Eudaimonia (flourishing) and Ataraxia (unshakable tranquility). This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics," episodes 1164-1170. Prepare to shift your perspective. Happiness is not something you chase; it is something you practice. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Control Test" This week, your challenge is to apply the "Control Test" to every moment of friction or anxiety you encounter. Whenever you feel stress rising, pause immediately and ask yourself: "Is this 100% within my control?" If the answer is no, practice visualizing yourself physically dropping the weight of that outcome, redirecting your energy solely toward your own attitude and response. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Inner Joy Visualization  Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am free." Day 3:  Happiness Breath Day 4:  Lotus mudra to open your heart Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for love and compassion Day 6:  Happiness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

https://teachhoops.com/ Building a positive team culture starts long before the first tip-off; it begins with clearly defined core values and non-negotiable standards. A positive culture is not accidental—it is intentional. Coaches must establish a framework where "we" always supersedes "me." This involves defining roles explicitly so every player, from the leading scorer to the last player on the bench, understands their value to the collective mission. When players feel seen and valued, buy-in increases. This foundation is strengthened by a coach who models the desired behavior; you cannot demand selflessness and composure if you are selfish and erratic on the sidelines. Consistency in how you treat your star player versus your role players sets the tone for the entire program. Trust and connection are the glue that holds a positive team together when things go wrong. You must actively engineer opportunities for players to bond beyond the court. This can be as simple as "team meals" or as structured as "partner interviews" where teammates share their life stories to build empathy. On the court, implement "appreciation" drills where players are required to high-five or verbally acknowledge a teammate after every play. This creates a habit of support that overrides the natural instinct to blame others during stressful game moments. When players genuinely care about each other, they play harder for each other, and the fear of making mistakes is replaced by the confidence that their teammates have their back. Finally, a positive culture requires constant maintenance through positive reinforcement and honest communication. It is easy to be positive when winning, but the true test is after a loss. A coach must separate the performance from the person, critiquing the execution without attacking the player's character. Celebrate the "unseen" plays—deflections, screen assists, and bench energy—just as loudly as the points scored. Furthermore, address conflict immediately and privately; do not let resentment fester. By creating an environment of psychological safety where players are allowed to fail without fear of being shamed, you unlock their ability to play free, aggressive, and winning basketball.
