Medical Family Series:  “A Family's Courageous Journey” with Steve and Melissa Bundy  Intro:  Today we begin our medical family series and you are about to be inspired by one family's story.  Steve and Melissa Bundy have been married for 33 years and have two adult sons. Their oldest son Caleb was born with a rare chromosome deletion and subsequent multiple medical diagnoses.   Steve is the Senior vice president of International ministries at Joni and Friends International Disability Center and has been on staff for past 18 years. And Melissa is a part time wound care home health nurse. This incredible couple sat down with us to share their story. A courageous story where heartache is met with hope.   Let's listen into our conversation with Steve and Melissa.     Bio:  Steve and Melissa Bundy have been married for 33 years and have two incredible adults sons. Steve is the  Senior vice president of International ministries at Joni and Friends International Disability Center and has been on staff for past 18 years. Melissa is a part time wound care home health nurse.   Their 26 year old son Caleb was born with a rare chromosome deletion 2q37.1 partial terminal deletion. This missing piece of the chromosome means he has severe cognition delay, severe autism (unable to speak), apraxia of speech and body, and also a rare form of muscular dystrophy called Bethlem/Ulrich. They were given this diagnosis of the chromosome deletion at ages 10 months, autism at 2 years and muscular dystrophy when he was 12. Caleb has had a very difficult journey in life yet has had a family who has surrounded him with the love, support and advocacy he needed to be as functional and loved for who he is as much as possible.   Caleb's younger brother Jaron is 22 years old and has been such a huge supportive sibling even in the most challenging of times. Jaron graduated this past year from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a degree in music production and now has his own business producing music and teaching students in guitar,piano and music production at jaronmicahmusic.com.  Joniandfriends.org    For a family raising a child with special needs, life can be difficult. There are many storms to weather and struggles to address, and we often feel isolated and alone due to the nature of our circumstances. Families have a need to connect and find resources, a need to be encouraged, and a need for hope as we walk down what can be a very hard road at times. Hope on the Hard Road Special Needs Podcast was created for this purpose. Our vision is to grow a thriving community, where families with children of all ages with special needs can feel connected, be encouraged, and find hope for the road ahead.   Connect with Us: If you enjoy this podcast please share us with others and be sure to follow us so won't miss an episode.  We'd love to hear from you so please leave us a comment or rating and connect with us on social media or on our website.   Email us: info@hopeonthehardroad.org Website: https://hopeonthehardroad.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeonthehardroad/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hopeonthehardroad/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2621447987943459 Free Youtube Resource Library: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsSAfvTkSy87X-fEqtVR2qvo7w9UQBuxz

Welcome to Happy Grateful Blessed. I'm Tami Tran, Mayor of Kaysville, Utah, and today's conversation is one I've been really looking forward to. My guest is Dalane England — a woman known across Utah for her deep love of America, her unwavering commitment to the Constitution, and her ability to engage in civic life with both courage and grace. Dalane is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a lifelong advocate for liberty who believes that freedom is preserved not through anger or outrage, but through truth, relationships, and moral responsibility. In this episode, we talk about where her passion for America began, why gratitude is the foundation of happiness, how everyday citizens can be effective without becoming divisive, and why local leadership and personal responsibility matter now more than ever. We also explore what it really means to seek truth in an age of headlines and soundbites — and why hope for our future is not lost. This is a conversation about principles, purpose, and the power each of us has to make a difference — right where we are. I'm grateful you're here. Let's get started. A pivotal story in the episode is Dalane's experience being robbed at gunpoint while working at a bank at age 19—and how local news outlets later reported major inaccuracies without interviewing anyone involved. That moment sparked her lifelong skepticism of media narratives and reinforced her belief that truth requires effort, time, and research...

1 Peter | Part 1: Peter, An Apostle of Jesus ChristSome of you know the book well. For others, it may feel unfamiliar.But Peter names the tension every believer feels. We live in a world that often moves in a different direction. He calls us “exiles,” yet reminds us we are chosen, loved, held by a living hope.The heart of this series is simple. It is not just about studying a letter. It is about becoming the kind of people Peter envisions: Steady. Courageous. Formed by grace.Teaching Text: 1 Peter 1:1, Matthew 16:13-23.Preached by Russell Korets

Hey, Neighbor! Luke takes a risk and brings a quote to the table for discussion. He may not do that again after the way he was treated..."Servant-leaders don't lead by serving, they serve by leading." Does anyone use the term "servant-leader" anymore? (Certainly no one in the Fight Laugh Feast network thinks it's a helpful label.) Trends come and go very quickly in the Internet Age! THEN: The Worship Leader doesn't enjoy the prestige he used to! Aren't most Christian people aware of the stereotype now?... Do people still need convinced that the worship songs are too shallow, and that lyrics are theologically in error? LATER: What time is it RIGHT NOW? What does this hour call for? Do we need to keep talking about the threat of liberalism/Feminism and the trans-ideology? Or do we need to look ahead and see the ditch that our brothers are careening toward? (That ditch, by the way, is Conspiracy Theories and racism.)

What does it really take to go from paralyzing fear and emotional confusion to courageous clarity and freedom? In Part 2 of our conversation, Coach LeAnne Parsons continues her heart-stirring dialogue with three women who bravely walked the journey of healing inside Empowered to Change. This week, we go deeper—unpacking the exact tools, mindset shifts, and faith-filled decisions that helped them disentangle their lives and rediscover who they truly are in Christ. If you've ever felt stuck in shame, unsure if you could trust again, or wondered if real change is even possible—this episode is your answer. Key Takeaways from Today's Episode Why They Finally Said Yes to Healing Each woman shares her unique tipping point—the moment when the pain of staying the same outweighed the fear of stepping into the unknown. For some, it was physical symptoms. For others, it was the ache of isolation. But for all three, it became clear: it was time to stop surviving and start healing. The Power of Safe, Christ-Centered Community Healing happens in the light. From hesitant strangers to trusted sisters, these women describe how their Empowered to Change group became a safe haven where their stories were honored, their pain was validated, and their growth was celebrated—without judgment, shame, or superficial fixes. Tools that Actually Change Lives From practicing hard conversations in the mirror, to disentangling emotional confusion with thought journals and boundaries, these women used practical tools that reshaped how they thought, spoke, and showed up in their relationships. This isn't inspiration for inspiration's sake—it's real transformation, step-by-step. Confidence Built on Courage, Not Perfection They didn't wait until they felt “ready” or confident. They showed up afraid—but they showed up. And as they practiced courage in community, confidence followed. As Christine beautifully shared, “Confidence is the fruit of choosing courage—even when your voice shakes”. Sustainable Change for the Long Haul Nearly five years after completing Empowered to Change, these women are still growing, still connected, and still walking in truth. They've moved from reactive living to intentional, Christ-centered wholeness—testifying that healing isn't a one-time moment, but a lifestyle of learning, growing, and living loved. Ready to Step Into a New Chapter? If their stories stirred something in your heart, maybe it's your time too. Empowered to Change is a six-month coaching journey for Christian women who are ready to stop surviving and start growing. Whether you're in a hard marriage, dealing with past wounds, or trying to reclaim your voice—you don't have to walk it alone.

Most leaders don't fail because they lack vision. They hesitate when vision starts to cost them. In this episode, we explore the leadership threshold where purpose becomes uncomfortable, and conviction is tested. Through the stories of Hershey, Disney, and Jobs, we reveal why discomfort and courage go hand in hand. Press play to discover whether the resistance you feel is fear or the signal you are being called forward.Key Takeaways To Listen ForWhy obedience often requires courage long before clarity ever arrivesHow discomfort can be confirmation that you are walking in alignment, not missing the markWhy God often forms leaders in isolation before He grants influenceThe personal cost that inevitably comes with pursuing a vision bigger than yourselfThe spiritual battle between doubt and conviction that every called leader must faceResources Mentioned In This EpisodeEP303: Radical Purpose, Part 1 - Context MattersEP304: Radical Purpose, Part 2 - Traits are SeedsEP305: Radical Purpose Part 3 - Skills Sharpen PurposeEP306: Radical Purpose Part 4 - The SparkRadical Purpose by Dr. Nate SalahConnect With UsMaster your context with real results leadership training!To learn more, visit our website at www.greatsummit.com.For tax, bookkeeping, or accounting help, contact Dr. Nate's team at www.theincometaxcenter.com or send an email to info@theincometaxcenter.com.Follow Dr. Nate on His Social MediaLinkedIn: Nate Salah, Ph.DInstagram: @natesalah Facebook: Nate SalahTikTok: @drnatesalahClubhouse: @natesalah

In this engaging conversation, Adam LoPorto reflects on his musical journey, the formation of Lux Courageous, and the vibrant Long Island music scene. He shares insights into the creative process behind their music, the challenges of navigating the industry, and the importance of community and DIY venues. The discussion highlights the band's resilience and the lasting impact of their work in the emo and pop-punk genres.Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

The Church today – in the West and the East – facesmany challenges, yet is called to a momentous mission – namely, the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As challenges mount for the Church, carrying out our mission proves difficult. Not only that, some of those tasked with leading the Church have proven soft or ill-prepared.The need for courageous spiritual leadership in today's Church is massive. But with too few of her leaders exhibiting these traits, what is the Church to do? Throw up our hands and pine away about better days? Absolutely not.Instead, Christians and churches must take steps to shore up our leadership gap. This requires us to lean upon the Spirit and the Word. There are also practical tips that can be applied to develop courageous Christian leaders for the days ahead.To speak to these important issues, Pastor Joel Wayne joins Andy on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. Joel shares helpful insights borne from his own experience leading churches and ministry efforts, both at home and abroad. Joel talks about the importance of partnership and strategic thinking, and also the simple willingness for leadersto pay a price if obedience to Christ so requires.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

As My Space enters a meaningful transition, this wrap-up conversation invites listeners into a deeper exploration of what it truly means to be seen, by others and by yourself.

Ashley and Veronica dive into the real work of vulnerability: why it feels risky, why we avoid it, and how choosing honesty can transform our relationships. They unpack common blocks like fear of conflict, fear of being "too much," and fear of losing love, while offering grounded, practical tools to navigate difficult conversations with integrity. This episode is a reminder that vulnerability isn't about oversharing, it's about taking responsibility, telling the truth, and creating connection through presence and repair.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: • Why self-honesty is the foundation of vulnerability and authentic connection • How wearing "masks" in relationships disconnects us,  and how to stop • Powerful journaling prompts to uncover what you're not saying and why • How to have brave, uncomfortable conversations without abandoning yourself • The role of somatic experiencing and authentic relating in emotional intimacy • Common fears that block vulnerability, including conflict, messiness, and loss • What "repair conversations" are and how they can heal relational ruptures • Why taking responsibility beats victimhood in building trust and intimacy • How vulnerability with yourself creates deeper, more fulfilling relationships   This episode is for anyone craving deeper connection, struggling with honesty in relationships, or ready to stop performing and start showing up as their true self, whether in love, friendship, community, or personal growth.

There are movies you enjoy, movies you love, and then there are Life Changing Movies, the ones that hit you at the exact right moment and quietly shape how you see the world. In this special Born to Watch episode, Whitey and Gow sit down on the couch for a rare daytime recording to unpack the films that genuinely changed them, not just as movie fans, but as people.Originally planned as a solo episode, Whitey quickly realised this topic needed conversation, reflection, and a bit of friendly back-and-forth. What follows is a deeply personal walk through cinema history, from classic black and white films through to modern blockbusters, with each movie tied to a specific time, place, and feeling. These are not rankings, not reviews, and not necessarily the “greatest films of all time”. These are the films that left a permanent mark.The rules were simple. The films had to be movies Born to Watch has never reviewed before, and they had to be experienced in the order Whitey first saw them. What unfolds is a cinematic timeline that mirrors growing up, discovering new genres, and realising that movies can be far more than mere entertainment. They can be confronting, comforting, terrifying, inspiring, and sometimes completely overwhelming.The episode kicks off with The African Queen, a film Whitey first watched as a kid with his Nan, and a gateway into old cinema that opened the door to classics like Casablanca and Captain's Courageous. From there, the conversation moves into The Great Escape, a film both hosts hold in incredibly high regard, not just for its iconic moments, but for its storytelling, tension, and emotional weight that still holds up decades later.As the timeline moves forward, the episode touches on cultural moments that defined entire generations. Seeing Batman (1989) in a packed cinema, complete with Prince's soundtrack and Jack Nicholson's Joker, becomes more than just a movie memory. It becomes a snapshot of adolescence, crushes, embarrassment, and the shared chaos of opening night at the local cinema.The conversation does not shy away from darker territory. Films like Deliverance, The Evil Dead, Psycho, and Schindler's List are discussed not for shock value, but for the way they challenged expectations and forced viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. These are films that stay with you long after the credits roll, sometimes in ways you do not fully understand until years later.Blockbusters also have their place. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is remembered as a near-perfect cinematic experience, combining groundbreaking visual effects with emotional storytelling and characters that audiences genuinely cared about. It is a reminder that big movies can still have heart and depth when done correctly..The episode closes by reflecting on films driven by dialogue and ideas, particularly JFK, a movie that became comfort viewing for Whitey despite its heavy subject matter. It represents how movies can evolve with us, revealing new layers each time we revisit them.This is an episode about memory, growth, and the quiet power of cinema. Whether you agree with every pick or not, these Life Changing Movies will almost certainly spark memories of your own. #BornToWatch #LifeChangingMovies #MovieMemories #FilmPodcast #CinemaLovers #MovieNostalgia #ClassicFilms #FilmDiscussion #MovieFans #PodcastAustralia

Have you ever looked around your life and thought, “I can't keep living like this, but I don't know how to change?” You're not alone—and this episode is proof. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on real-life transformation as three courageous women—Rhonda, Jill, and Christine—share how the Empowered to Change program became the turning point in their painful, confusing, and lonely journeys. With raw honesty, these women recount where they began: stuck, afraid, unsure of who they were. And where they are now? Confident, courageous, and deeply rooted in Christ. You'll hear how they found clarity, community, and tools to step into the light—and how you can too. Key Takeaways You're Not Alone in the Fog Each woman entered Empowered to Change feeling lost and overwhelmed. Christine didn't even know her favorite color. Rhonda couldn't say she was a woman—she still saw herself as a little girl trying to manage everyone around her. Jill held her head low, gripped by shame. But God met them in their confusion, and they discovered they didn't have to walk alone. Identity Reclaimed Through Clarity and Courage Empowered to Change helped these women strip away the lies that kept them small and silent. As they did the internal work of self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-correction, their true God-given identities began to surface. Rhonda said it best: “I was fearfully dependent. Now I am confidently interdependent—me, God, and the other person.” Tools That Equip You for Real Life These women didn't just gain insight—they learned practical tools that changed the way they engaged with their relationships. Whether it was rehearsing hard conversations in the mirror, using healthy boundaries, or naming their emotions for the first time, they began to walk in freedom. “I didn't have a ‘no.' Now I can say ‘no' and mean it,” Rhonda shared. The Power of Safe Sisterhood A pivotal part of their growth? Community. These women found safety, support, and spiritual sisterhood within their group—and five years later, they're still walking together. They laugh, pray, and celebrate each other's wins and struggles. The healing they experienced made room for deep, lasting connection. Healing Is Possible—And Worth the Risk Perhaps the most powerful transformation was internal. Jill no longer suffers from migraines that once plagued her during her emotional turmoil. Christine now lives empowered and on mission. And Rhonda walks in the strength and courage she found in God. Their stories remind us that healing takes brave steps—but the reward is wholeness, freedom, and a deeper relationship with Christ. Personal Invitation If you heard yourself in these women's stories—if you're in that place of confusion, fear, or longing to rediscover who you are—Empowered to Change might be your next brave step. This Christ-centered coaching experience helps you: Clarify your identity in Christ Develop tools to navigate destructive patterns Build courage, set boundaries, and find your voice Walk in community with other women who truly get it Learn more and register here: https://www.leslievernick.com/growth

This morning, we will continue our Advent sermon series, Insisting on Hope, by listening to stories where God's joy breaks into ordinary lives in unexpected ways. In Jeremiah 1 and Luke 1, we encounter a God who calls before we feel ready and who speaks possibility into moments marked by uncertainty and fear. These scriptures invite us to consider how Advent joy is not shallow happiness, but a deep, resilient hope rooted in God's promises. Together, we will reflect on what it means to respond to God's call with trust, even when the path ahead is unclear. As we gather for worship, we will make space for God's surprising joy to meet us where we are. I hope you'll join us as we insist on hope and rejoice in the new life God is already bringing into the world. Sermon on Jeremiah 1:4-10 and Luke 1:26-39, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on December 14th, 2025.

Welcome to The Wise & Courageous Podcast, where we host conversations with women leaders about how they are seeking and engaging wisdom and courage in their leadership and work in this unique season. “The caliber of my leadership depends upon the health and caliber of the rest of my life. I can't show up for people unless I am in a good place personally to show up. There's some humility with that. You can't just run on fumes and coffee.” — Elisabeth Rain Kincaid Elisabeth Rain Kincaid, Associate Professor of Ethics, Faith and Culture and Director of the Institute of Faith and Learning at Baylor University, joins Nancy Pedulla on The Wise & Courageous Podcast for a conversation about leadership, ethics, and faith. How might the unexpected career path result in a richness that is unique? Elisabeth starts the story of her journey by sharing that she went to law school because she did not enjoy middle school ministry. She shares the rich gifts of the indirect path to her current role, where she lives out her own leadership while teaching and researching about leadership and ethics, and cultivating leadership with faculty in a unique program. Elisabeth explores the value of integrity and the invitation to be an integrated person. We talk about the work of integrating work and family life. Listen for her invitation to be discerning what God is calling her to engage with during the last 20 years of her career in prayer and with others and for her “aha” moment when a trusted colleague asked her, “Why are you putting out the cookies?” For the purposes of this podcast, we are defining leadership as the stewardship of people, culture and purpose, guiding and serving others toward a shared vision or outcomes.

You know that idea pulling at your heart? The one you immediately follow up with "who am I to do this?" Carrie Rich had one of those ideas while mopping hospital floors as a graduate student. She didn't wait until she had it all figured out. She cracked a joke in an attendance meeting. Made one bold ask. Then another. Then another. Now? Her work has impacted 11.6 million lives across 70 countries through the Global Good Fund. But here's what really changed everything for Carrie: a stack of napkins pushed across a desk and one question - "Do you have a financial life plan?" At 25 years old, her boss walked her through mapping her life in increments. Not just her career. Her entire life. What she wanted to fund. What "enough" actually looked like. How to plan for children she didn't have yet, travel dreams, philanthropy goals, continuing education. That napkin exercise became the foundation for everything she built. If you're dealing with economic anxiety, struggling to access funding, or questioning whether your business can make it through uncertain times - this conversation will light something up inside you. Carrie shares why women only receive 2% of venture capital, what actually makes entrepreneurs fundable, and how to define what "enough" looks like for YOU (not what Instagram says you should want). This is episode 310 of the Game On Girlfriend podcast. I'm Sarah Walton, and I help women entrepreneurs build businesses they love through authentic sales strategies and money mindset work. Ready to grab your own stack of napkins?

That is why she co-founded The Global Good Fund over a decade ago to invest in high-potential, overlooked social entrepreneurs. Many entrepreneurs need access to capital to scale, so Carrie went on to found and manage the Global Impact Fund, which is dedicated to investing in socially impactful businesses, primarily led by overlooked founders. Her fourth book, Impact The World: Live Your Values and Drive Changes as a Citizen Statesperson, was published by Wiley in May 2022 and is now a WSJ and Amazon Best Seller. Carrie gives back by serving on corporate and nonprofit boards and by volunteering in her local community with her three young children.

In today’s episode, Victor Marx, a high-risk humanitarian, trauma survivor, founder of All Things Possible Ministries, and candidate for Governor of Colorado brings a riveting message of courage for leaders and people of faith. With stories from war zones, rescue missions, and spiritual battlefields, Victor challenges listeners to confront darkness with boldness, compassion, and unwavering faith. He explores what real courage looks like in a fear-driven world, sharing frontline stories that reveal both the brutality of evil and the necessity of godly strength.

In this episode of Excess Returns, Graeme Forster of Orbis joins us to discuss two major research papers: Six Courageous Questions for 2026 and Sunrise on Venus. We explore how long-running global trends may be reversing, what that means for U.S. dominance, the future of international and emerging markets, the risks and opportunities created by AI and massive CapEx spending, the dollar's shifting role, and how investors should think about valuation, humility, and navigating a world where the economic “water” is changing. This conversation is packed with global macro insight, long-term investing lessons, and practical frameworks for building more resilient portfolios. Topics Covered:• Why long-term market “water” becomes invisible to investors• Self-reinforcing global cycles and how China's WTO entry reshaped the world• Signs the 25-year U.S. outperformance cycle may be breaking• How tariffs, political shifts, and corporate reforms change the global landscape• Why international and emerging markets may now offer better expected returns• Why U.S. large caps are not the entire story of American exceptionalism• How to think about valuation, margins, and discounted cash flow models across markets• The AI boom, bubbles, capital cycles, and asymmetric outcomes• How AI CapEx constraints influence winners and losers• The shifting role of the U.S. dollar and why market shocks may behave differently• Maslow's hierarchy, needs vs. wants, and the return of state-driven capital investment• Deglobalization, reshoring, and the national-security lens for investing• How to evaluate China and Taiwan inside emerging markets• Why humility is an investor's greatest edgeTimestamps:00:00 Introduction01:02 Why Orbis wrote Six Courageous Questions for 202603:44 The David Foster Wallace “water” analogy and investing06:12 How a 25-year self-reinforcing cycle powered U.S. outperformance10:12 Signs the cycle may be breaking12:00 Corporate reform and opportunity in Asia13:55 Why active share, benchmarking, and incentives distort investor behavior17:31 Decomposing S&P 500 returns: margins, valuations, fundamentals20:20 Expected returns inside and outside the U.S.22:34 Why international stocks offer richer opportunity sets24:25 Currency implications and weakening dollar dynamics26:18 American exceptionalism beyond the top 10 mega caps28:49 Where Orbis is finding value today30:25 Biotech, healthcare, and post-COVID dislocation31:05 How Orbis thinks about valuation in an intangible-heavy world32:09 Is AI a bubble or the beginning of something bigger?34:30 Game theory of AI CapEx and right-tail outcomes36:00 CapEx cycles, history, and who benefits38:00 Indirect AI beneficiaries and the SK Square example40:35 Maslow's hierarchy and the shift from wants to needs42:32 Deglobalization, national security, and domestic reinvestment44:00 Capital returning to home markets and strategic industries46:00 Can anything reverse these structural trends?48:00 Balancing bottom-up investing with macro awareness49:45 The deeper risk in emerging markets: owning vs. avoiding51:00 Valuation still matters for long-term returns52:29 Corporate behavior, dividends, and re-rating cycles53:52 How Orbis views China vs. bottom-up opportunity55:34 Why great investors must be right 90–95% of the time in decision quality58:00 One lesson Graeme would teach the average investor

I came across this post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he shared this thought:  “You won't always feel confident. But you can always be courageous and take action anyway.”  This fit in exactly with a podcast from Sam Crowley - you can find this episode HERE. Sam was talking about going through a rough time a year ago when he was stuck and he pushed through so that he could clear things up and pivot into a new direction for his life.  So much to pick up from others like Jon and Sam. Everyone goes through “stuff” and we can get though our “stuff” with the help of others and the reminders to be courageous.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
