Joined by client Dustin (sales manager at a cooperative), certified coaches Melisa and Denise, and the Momentum leadership team, this conversation unpacks how to align teams, foster accountability, and drive adoption of new technologies.The discussion moves from performance management into the heart of culture change—how clarity, communication, and intentional leadership can transform resistance into ownership.Key TakeawaysClarity Drives AdoptionNew tools like CRMs or performance reviews only work when leaders paint a crystal-clear picture of the desired future state—and connect it to why it matters.Communication Is Non-NegotiableResistance often comes from misunderstanding. Clear, repeated messaging—supported by real-life examples—helps shift attitudes from suspicion to acceptance.Accountability Creates ConfidenceFrom sales call tracking to fleet management systems, transparent accountability builds trust and empowers employees to take ownership rather than feel micromanaged.Timing and Champions MatterRolling out new processes during high-stress seasons leads to frustration. Identify “champions” inside your team who can lead by example and support peers through change.The Power of Clear GoalsImpossible, future-focused goals drive behaviors more effectively than small, incremental ones. Contrast clarifies what to pursue and what to leave behind.Notable Quotes“Nobody needs more check-the-box tasks. Tools should make people better, not just busier.” – Dustin“Communication and clarity were the best things for us—it's not about tracking people, it's about accountability for the fleet.” – Denise“When I tracked my bushels, the CRM became more than a tool—it created friendly competition that drove performance.” – Melisa“A clear goal informs what I do today—and more importantly, what I don't do today.” – Mark Jewell“Contrast is clarity. Sometimes knowing what we don't want helps us lock in on what we do.” Action StepsAudit your communication: Are you explaining not just the what, but the why behind new systems?Identify a team champion who can model and support adoption.Choose the right season for rollout—don't pile change on top of peak workload.Set clear, future-oriented goals that inspire behavior change.Recognize and celebrate wins publicly; handle resistance privately.Listen If You AreA sales manager struggling to get your team to use a CRM or new toolA leader facing pushback on cultural or process changeAn executive seeking to improve accountability without micromanagementAnyone who wants to drive performance by building clarity and buy-in

Struggle to tell what really matters in CARS passages that feel “straightforward but wordy”? In this Reading Skills Workshop, Jack and Molly walk through the “Polygamy” Jack Westin Daily (Sept 10) sentence by sentence to show you how to extract the thesis fast and avoid over-reading.- Identify the core claim: Traditional polygamy is morally objectionable because it embeds inequality.- Contrast with monogamy: why monogamy can be reformed to equality (power can be redistributed).- Track the two big inequality threads in polygamy:1. Commitment imbalance (central vs. peripheral spouses)2. Control over the wider family (who gets a say across subfamilies)-Use contrast cues (“in contrast,” “unlike”) to flag high-yield sentences.-How to read confidently when ideas repeat without tuning out crucial examples.Before you watch:Read the Sept 10 “Polygamy”: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/polygamy00:01:57 — Paragraph 1: No key arguments - Polygamy controversial 00:06:57 — Paragraph 2: Monogomy can be reformed, Polygamy can't be equal!00:10:50 — Paragraph 3: Marriage should be equal, Monogomy can redistribute power0:15:53 — Paragraph 4: Repetition: Polygamy can't be equal!00:20:10 — Paragraph 5: Using Context: Central vs Peripheral Spouses are unequal00:25:14 — Paragraph 6: Repetition: Polygamy can't be equal!

How To Use Framing in Your Pitch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In pitching investors, framing can be used to position the startup as a successful business. Framing is how you structure your message to shape how your audience perceives it. It can be used to generate credibility and overcome objections. Start with a problem statement and a compelling solution. Position the team as credible and trustworthy. Articulate the benefits of the solution throughout the pitch. Show how it aligns with the goals of the investor, which is to make a return. Contrast is a framing technique. Use it to show the difference between the current problem and the promised future of the solution. Start with what you want the audience to think and work back to the solution that creates that result. Positioning is another framing technique. Use it to place your startup as superior by showing the competitive advantage. Use framing in your fundraising pitch to investors.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

We all know technology and geopolitics shape the world, but there's a quieter, less obvious force that dictates the flow of wealth and opportunity: demographics. Where people live, where they move, and how populations grow or shrink — these are the currents that ultimately drive economic gravity. That's why all of the multifamily investments you see through Investor Club focus on areas where there is job creation. Where there is job creation, there is population growth, and people have to live somewhere. Scale that concept up to a global level, and you start to see why migration, climate, and demographics are the real megatrends of the century. Take China — decades of the one-child policy have created a demographic cliff. Contrast that with parts of Africa and South Asia, where populations are booming. Add to this the wildcard of AI, which could either amplify the advantages of youthful nations or offset aging ones. For investors, entrepreneurs, and anyone thinking long term, the key isn't where the puck is today — it's where the puck is going. That's the topic of this week's Wealth Formula Podcast.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland are examining how Cardi B. has been schooling the courtroom on authenticity, Russell Laffitte stalls his way through justice.  Cardi B's testimony in California shows how authenticity and honesty can make a witness credible, even when the stakes are high. Contrast that with South Carolina's Russell Laffitte, whose plea and sentencing delays reflect a system that bends for the well-connected We also touch on how JP Miller's courtroom stunts might seem laughable, but they're a distraction from the real harm caused when predators use legal loopholes to protect themselves. Plus, in Texas, the family of Christa Bauer Gilley is still fighting for justice after her suspicious death was nearly written off as a suicide.  These cases may span celebrities, bankers, and grieving families, but the thread is the same: victims deserve better, and the truth deserves sunlight. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy's Reaction to Taylor & Travis Engagement on Instagram

“French Kiss” evokes a rare look into the most threatening years of the Cold War, a parallel to today's geopolitical climate. Hundreds of interviews with those whose livelihoods depended on work at the massive Dèols-Châteauroux U.S. Air Station provide intimate details on how the Kremlin had targeted France for Soviet domination. Communist provocateurs viciously condemned the American military buildup in France. French Communists spread the Kremlin's message over the radio, newspapers and magazines and on street corner. Every word of Lenin and Stalin was infallible. Fast forward to today's worldwide Islamic movement, girded by the Koran's infallibility and Allah's sacred words, has for decades used terrorism and war to conquer and convert. Contrast, “French Kiss” a tale of hope. Black airmen were readily accepted, initial suspicion, distrust and even hatred followed a path from forbearance to friendship and even to love and marriage.

We'll continue to look at the parable of the wineskins from Luke. We'll review the context of when this parable was told.Do you prefer the old way of doing things when God is doing something new? Do you resist situations he is calling you into simply because you don't like being put in those kinds of situations?

JESUS IS A LAMB AND A LION As a lamb, Christ was our sin offering. As a lamb, He was born in a place where lambs were born. As a lamb, he was laid in a stone feeding trough, where sheep ate. And as a lamb, He visited by shepherds who were in the fields watching sheep who would one day be offered as sacrifices. As a lamb, He depended on His parents who were His assigned shepherds, but like a lion, the lamb boldly reasoned with theologians at 12 years of age. As a lamb, He was tempted in the wilderness but like a lion, God’s lamb overcame the tempter with His voice, “Get behind me satan!” As a lamb, He was sleeping during a storm but like a lion the lamb of God stood up and said, “Peace be still.” As a lamb, He was beaten with a whip, but like a lion he made a whip and used it to cleanse the temple. As a lamb, He died as our sacrifice but like a lion, He conquered death. As a lamb, He wept at Lazarus’ tomb but like a lion He roared, “Come forth!” As a lamb, He allowed people to touch Him, but like a lion He boldly cast out demons. As a lamb, He was led to the slaughter for us but like a lion, the lamb of God arose from the dead. He came as a lamb, slain from the world’s foundation, but He’s coming back as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Those messianic promises that were not yet fulfilled, He will fulfill as the Lion of Judah. Sam Storms says, “The Lion in whom we find unimpeachable authority is also the Lamb who embodies humility and meekness in the highest degree.” He continues, “The Lion who wields power and strength that none can resist is also the Lamb who walked the earth in weakness and suffering, resisting none.” The same Jesus! He who laid down all His rights, has now received all authority. This lion-like Lamb is also the lamb-like Lion, most worthy of our best praise and selfless worship, undying devotion and sacrificial service. Jesus is a Lamb and a Lion. Alan Latta August 17, 2025

As a lamb, He was led to the slaughter for us but like a lion, the lamb of God arose from the dead. He came as a lamb, slain from the world’s foundation, but He’s coming back as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Those messianic promises that were not yet fulfilled, He will fulfill as the Lion of Judah. Sam Storms says, “The Lion in whom we find unimpeachable authority is also the Lamb who embodies humility and meekness in the highest degree.” He continues, “The Lion who wields power and strength that none can resist is also the Lamb who walked the earth in weakness and suffering, resisting none.” The same Jesus! He who laid down all His rights, has now received all authority. This lion-like Lamb is also the lamb-like Lion, most worthy of our best praise and selfless worship, undying devotion and sacrificial service. Jesus is a Lamb and a Lion. Alan Latta August 17, 2025

JESUS IS A LAMB AND A LION As a lamb, Christ was our sin offering. As a lamb, He was born in a place where lambs were born. As a lamb, he was laid in a stone feeding trough, where sheep ate. And as a lamb, He visited by shepherds who were in the fields watching sheep who would one day be offered as sacrifices. As a lamb, He depended on His parents who were His assigned shepherds, but like a lion, the lamb boldly reasoned with theologians at 12 years of age. As a lamb, He was tempted in the wilderness but like a lion, God’s lamb overcame the tempter with His voice, “Get behind me satan!” As a lamb, He was sleeping during a storm but like a lion the lamb of God stood up and said, “Peace be still.” As a lamb, He was beaten with a whip, but like a lion he made a whip and used it to cleanse the temple. As a lamb, He died as our sacrifice but like a lion, He conquered death. As a lamb, He wept at Lazarus’ tomb but like a lion He roared, “Come forth!” As a lamb, He allowed people to touch Him, but like a lion He boldly cast out demons.

Don't Blame the Latte: Your Burn Rate Is Eating You AliveThe Silent Reason You're Always BrokeThere's a meme that won't die: “Don't blame me for my daily latte—it's not why I can't afford a house in America.” But here's the rub: it isn't the latte by itself. It's the latte plus the Starbucks sandwich, the DoorDash dinner, the Amazon Prime, the Netflix, the Disney+, the YouTube TV, the Hulu, the gym membership you never use, the $1,200 phone you upgrade every two years, the Uber rides, the subscription boxes, the automatic monthly charges you don't even notice anymore. Add them up, and suddenly you're living like a Gordon Gekko yuppie from Wall Street—without actually being rich. That is your burn rate. And your burn rate is the silent killer of wealth.Most people don't even know the term. In business, burn rate is how fast a startup burns through its cash. If your expenses outpace your revenue, the company dies, no matter how good the pitch deck looks. Now zoom out: your life is a company. Your paycheck is your revenue. Every “normal” convenience you've convinced yourself you're entitled to is an expense. And most Americans are burning cash at a startup's pace without ever realizing it.Think about it: a Starbucks venti caramel macchiato with extra pumps? Call it $7–$8. Add a pastry—because of course you did—and you're at $12. Do that five times a week, and you've quietly spent $250 a month on coffee shop culture. That's three grand a year. Add DoorDash: one burger meal for $14 becomes $28 after delivery fees, service fees, and tip. Do that three times a week? Another $350–$400 a month, five grand a year. Now add streaming: Netflix, $16. Disney+, $14. Hulu, $18. HBO/Max, $17. Paramount+, $12. YouTube TV, $73. Amazon Prime, $15. Suddenly your “cheap entertainment” costs $165 a month, nearly $2,000 a year.Keep tallying. The $1,200 iPhone with $40 monthly insurance. The $80 unlimited data plan. The fast fashion wardrobe that falls apart every season. The gym you don't use. The Uber you grab instead of the bus because it's “just ten bucks.” Before you know it, your “burn” is $3,000–$4,000 a month just to maintain a lifestyle you think of as normal. That's $36,000–$50,000 a year—money that could be a down payment, an index fund, or a cushion against the next emergency.Contrast that with 1965: Dad made $6,900 a year. Mom stayed home. They had two or three kids. One family car, maybe a black-and-white TV. Vacations were once a summer, maybe to the beach or Grandma's house. There was no burn rate in the modern sense. They didn't pay subscriptions for entertainment—they had three channels. They didn't replace phones every two years—they had one rotary phone on the wall for decades. A “splurge” was meatloaf with ketchup or maybe a color TV. Today's “middle-class normal” would have looked like Rockefeller living to them.Now, I'm not wagging my finger. I've lived both sides. I rent a studio apartment. I cook bulk ground beef, eggs, and butter. I buy my watches used on eBay, my bags secondhand. My coffee is Café Bustelo brewed at home. My rower is a 20-year-old Concept2 I got for cheap. And still—I fall into the same trap as everyone else. I subscribe to every damn streaming service. I justify little “conveniences” that pile up. I know the burn rate game.Here's the brutal truth: if you make $70k a year and your burn rate is $50k, you're broke. If you make $200k and your burn rate is $190k, you're broke. And no revolution, no socialism, no political system is going to fix that. Because the second you normalize luxuries as entitlements, you've built yourself a treadmill. And treadmills don't make people rich. They just keep you running.Stop telling me a $7 latte doesn't matter. Stop telling me the subscription stack doesn't count. Add it up. Run the numbers. Look at your burn rate. That's why you're not rich.

Mixed bag today. While not giving a F about it at the time, the 90s really where a time of optimism, anti censorship and not confined by the restraints of the culture wars and the re-union of Oasis has brought that into sharp focus.

Proverbs 15:25-33 draws a sharp contrast between the destiny of the wicked and the blessing of the upright, showing how God responds to pride, injustice, humility, and righteousness. These verses reveal that the Lord actively tears down the plans of the proud while establishing and protecting the humble. The upright find favor through integrity, wise speech, and a teachable spirit, while the wicked bring trouble upon themselves through greed, arrogance, and resistance to correction. This passage calls us to embrace humility, guard our words, and walk in the fear of the Lord, knowing that these qualities lead to honor, wisdom, and life.

The great engine of American success was built by generations of pioneers, entrepreneurs, scholars, soldiers and immigrants defined by their grit, strength and resilience.Contrast that indomitable spirit with today's generational cohort of special snowflakes who seek 'safe spaces', rush to 'cancel' any discomfiting realities, and demand desired outcomes without putting in the effort to achieve them.What happens to a society when it loses its backbone?And once lost, how if at all, can it be regained?For insights, we're fortunate to speak with Gregory Lukianoff president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, and co-author of the NYT best-selling book The Coddling Of The American Mind.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

HR1 - Arcand reacts to the Red Sox first two games in San Diego. Detailing why he thinks this series shows the stark differences between the "aggressiveness" that the two teams acted with at this year's deadline.

In this exploration of Ephesians 6:1-4, we delve into the revolutionary concept of family relationships as presented by Paul. The message challenges us to view children not as property or labor, but as valued members of God's community. We're reminded that obedience to parents is directly linked to our obedience to Christ, emphasizing the spiritual significance of family dynamics. The parallel between earthly parenting and God's relationship with us offers profound insights into divine love and discipline. As we reflect on this teaching, we're called to create homes that mirror God's kingdom - places of mutual submission, respect, and love. This message isn't just for parents; it's a call for all of us to participate in nurturing the next generation in God's ways, creating a contrast community that reflects His values in a world that often doesn't.

He has an opinion on everything, though nobody's really listening, and he probably carries a cursed artifact nobody wants to touch. Shawn is Carl, the reluctant, self important hero who's just trying to keep the podcast from collapsing under its own insanity plus, he loves walking around with no pants on. Nick perfectly fits Princess Donut, setting fashion trends for both guns and camouflage patterns that Shawn will obviously follow. He believes a rifle should both slay and match your entire loadout. Jeremy is Samantha, bringing pure chaos, carnage, and a voice so loud it could punch through walls. Also, his mouth is almost always open like a sex doll. And Savage1r is our Prepotente, the all-knowing, no-nonsense goat who drops stats and laws while silently judging everyone and laughing at his own jokes. Each episode is a wild mix of honest firearm talk, tactical insight, ridiculous banter, and just the right amount of madness. You'll get gear reviews, heated debates, political hot takes, and the kind of chemistry only a group this dysfunctional could create. If you want a podcast that's smart, unfiltered, and unapologetically fun, We Like Shooting might just be the only gun show crazy enough to survive the Dungeon and make you laugh the whole way through. It's smart. It's unhinged. It's the most fun you'll have while learning about firearms and the only podcast where a talking goat might bore you to death.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Lo Hung-Huang - Five stars Five stars, Wow he put five stars again.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: RefreshLess Brief history How old: created in Mar 2016 by Wim Leers, but recent releases are by ambient.impact, a fellow Canadian Versions available: 2.0.0-alpha9 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Documentation Number of open issues: 40 open issues, only 2 of which are active bugs against the current branch Usage stats: 2 sites Module features and usage The RefreshLess module aims to give Drupal sites a smooth, fast, and responsive experience by using Javascript to selectively update the parts of the existing page that need to change, instead of a full page refresh. It uses the HTML5 History API to ensure the browsing behaviour is equivalent, and unsupported browsers will see a standard page refresh instead Using RefreshLess also makes it possible to use transitions (with or without the View Transition API in modern browsers), morphing, and persistent elements to enhance the application-like feel There is some indication that sites may encounter issues if they use RefreshLess with JS aggregation enabled, so it's probably better to use it if your site has HTTP/2 enabled RefreshLess is currently built on the Turbo library originally built for Ruby on Rails, but there is already an issue open to move the implementation to use HTMX instead

Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris discussed the contrast in how the Cubs and Phillies approached the trade deadline and the moves they made.

In this episode of Get It Seen: The Simplest Way to Accessible Design host Michelle Frechette and typography expert Piccia Neri discuss the vital role of typography in web accessibility. They explore how factors like font choice, size, alignment, kerning, and style impact readability and legibility for all users, including those with visual or neurological differences. The conversation highlights common pitfalls—such as using all caps, centered text, or decorative fonts—and offers practical tips for creating accessible, user-friendly content. Real-world examples underscore how thoughtful typography can improve user experience and even boost website conversions. The episode concludes with a preview of next week's focus on color and contrast.Top Takeaways:Typography Is More Than Just Fonts — It's a Core Element of Accessibility: Typography includes not only font choices but also layout, spacing, alignment, font weight, size, line height, tracking, and visual hierarchy. These elements together shape how readable and legible text is, directly affecting accessibility and user experience.Readability and Legibility Are Different, and Both Matter: Legibility is about how easily individual letters can be distinguished (e.g., clear letterforms, avoiding imposter letters like I/l/1). Readability refers to how easily blocks of text can be read and understood (e.g., proper line length, avoiding full justification, using appropriate spacing). Both need to be considered when designing for diverse users, including those with dyslexia or visual impairments.Alignment Strongly Impacts Usability and Conversion: Left-aligned text is significantly easier to read, especially online. Centered or poorly aligned text disrupts the reader's visual flow and can make content inaccessible.There Are No Universally "Perfect" Accessible Typefaces: Recommendations like "use sans-serif fonts" or “Arial is accessible” are oversimplified. Accessibility depends on how the typeface is used, whether it distinguishes similar characters clearly (e.g., capital I vs. lowercase L), and whether it's appropriate for your audience. Typefaces like Atkinson Hyperlegible are designed with accessibility in mind, but even these aren't universally preferred.Mentioned in the Show:Don't Make Me Think Book By Steve KrugAtkinson HyperlegibleSöhne Klim Type Foundry National Klim Type FoundryJosef AlbersAccessible typeface checklist – free resourceAccessible Typography 101 course – 30% discount code: PODCAST30Better Accessibility Through Typography Masterclass – 30% discount code: PODCAST30

Do people like you… but never seem to respect you? In this episode of Social Intelligence, AJ Harbinger and Johnny Dzubak reveal the hidden social trap of being “too agreeable.” While it might seem like the best way to build rapport, research shows that excessive agreeableness actually suppresses your influence, erodes your authenticity, and leads to burnout.
