GB2RS News Sunday, the 27th of October 2026 The news headlines: Entry to the RSGB 2027 Construction Competition is now open!  RadCom from the 1990s is now available in the RSGB app One week left to buy your RSGB Convention ticket The Society is pleased to have launched the RSGB 2027 Construction Competition. This is a fantastic opportunity for RSGB members, wherever they are in the world, to get involved in designing and building. Whether you're looking for an outlet for your creativity, wanting a fresh challenge to work on in your spare time or simply looking for the motivation to finish a homebrew project you have already started, the RSGB Construction Competition is the perfect excuse. Are you looking to inspire others to get involved in amateur radio? If so, our two more recent categories, Reimagination and Outreach, are the ideal way. Overall, there are seven different judging categories, so there really is something for everyone. Whether you're a newcomer to amateur radio, a serial constructor, or want to push yourself in a new direction, be it software or hardware – it's time to get those construction ideas flowing! Cash prizes will be awarded to winners and runners up, and entry is open until the 1st of March 2027. Full details of the competition and inspiration from previous years' entrants can be found via rsgb.org/construction-competition  The Society has just released an additional set of RadCom back issues to the RSGB app, available for the web and on mobile devices. RSGB members can now browse all the editions from January 1990 through to December 1999. This creates an even more valuable resource of amateur radio publications for members, who now can enjoy over 425 editions of RadCom. If you haven't explored the RSGB app recently, visit rsgb.org/radcom  to get started. Attending the RSGB 2026 Convention gives you access to knowledge, learning and networking opportunities that aren't available at any other event in the UK this year. The extensive programme includes expert speakers such as Heather Nickalls, M0HMO; Brian Coleman, G4NNS; Steven Dodd, M0SNZ; and Peter Duffet-Smith, GM3XJE, to name just a few. You can view the full programme, including lectures that are being delivered as part of the AMSAT-UK Colloquium, by going to rsgb.org/convention  If you are a younger radio amateur, you'll find a series of youth-specific events including a series of lightning talks, a youth POTA activation and a youth dinner on the Saturday evening. For radio amateurs looking to start the weekend festivities early, you have a number of activities to take part in on Friday the 9th of October, from visiting the National Museum of Computing to joining an amateur radio pub-style quiz in the conference centre bar in the evening. You'll find details of all these activities, plus more, on the RSGB Convention web pages. Online ticketing closes at 9am on Monday the 5th of October so make sure you buy your ticket to guarantee your place. The RSGB Convention takes place between the 9th and 11th of October at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes. The next RSGB Tonight@8 webinar is by the Society's Maker Champion Tom Wardill, M9TWM on Monday the 5th of October. Tom believes that amateur radio has never been in such a good place in terms of the availability of tools, supplies, and connections. He will give you a quick guide on what is available to the average home user, from SMT components and PCB fabs to 3D-printed cases, or to test equipment that was only available to IBM and HP just a few years ago. He'll discuss where to look, how to source, and how to get help with the tools you need to make the projects that you've written off as too complicated. You can join the livestream via the RSGB YouTube channel and special BATC channel, allowing you to watch and ask questions online. Find out more by going to rsgb.org/webinars Have you tried one of the RSGB's National Coding Week activities? If you took part and would like to be included in a special feature in RadCom, send your photos and a short summary of your activity to ncw.coordinator@rsgb.org.uk by the 30th of September. All coding activities will remain on the RSGB website via rsgb.org/coding  so whether you want to do something new just for fun or find a way to use programming within your current amateur radio interests, you'll find something to try!

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Wednesday the 23rd of September 2026. As we head towards the end of September, we are seeing daytime maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, starting to climb. The daytime MUF over 3,000km is reaching 12m and is just touching 10m at times. Within a few weeks we can expect it to reach 10m on a regular basis, perhaps bringing transatlantic QSOs to 28MHz once again. Meanwhile, we can make the most of the openings on the 17, 15 and 12m bands, which are showing promise with increasing propagation to Asia, North Africa, South Africa and South America. The solar flux index is hanging in there. Last week it fell to 96 but then rebounded back into the low 100s. There are currently eight sunspot groups visible on the Sun. The good news is that geomagnetic conditions have been calm, with the Kp index mostly in the ones and twos. That could soon change, however, thanks to a large coronal hole on the Sun's surface. These are dark, cool and less dense regions in the Sun's outer atmosphere, when viewed in ultraviolet, with open magnetic field lines. This one stretches from the solar equator to its pole. There are also two coronal holes following it, which may cause more problems. With the equinox, we often see more auroral activity, due to the Earth-Sun alignment and the Russell-McPherron effect. Once auroral conditions clear, the Kp index should return to normal, with a Kp of 2 predicted from Monday the 28th of September onwards. The solar flux index may even improve slightly, with a forecast solar flux index of 115 towards the end of the month. Make the most of the HF conditions by working one of the DX stations on the air. You can choose from 5W0AF in Samoa; JD1BON and friends on the Ogasawara Islands; OX3LX in Greenland; FR/F1TEQ and FH/F1TEQ from Reunion and Mayotte; and 8Q7JH operating from the Maldives. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Recently, the overall characteristic of the weather in southern areas has been one of high pressure, giving some occasional tropo. This region of high pressure will drift away by this weekend as a deep low over the northern Atlantic drives a weakening cold front south, so any major tropo will probably not survive into the coming week. The rest of the period looks generally unsettled. The northern half of Britain will have the more active part of any weather system crossing the country and therefore will also have a better chance of some rain scatter on the GHz bands. This time of the year we often get some very active Atlantic storms. Although they may not cross the UK directly, they may be close enough for severe gales and damaging winds in north western areas by the middle of the coming week. It is a good time to make sure your antenna guys are in good shape and keep an eye on the forecasts. There are no major meteor showers in the period so, once again, any activity is likely to be random, and this is typically best in the hours just before dawn. The prospect for auroras is a little more interesting since we are now just past the equinox of the 22nd of September. It's a preferential time to be alert for auroras due to the way the Earth's magnetic field aligns better with the Sun's magnetic field. This makes it easier for the solar wind to get through and create auroras. EME now, and Moon declination went positive at Moonset on Friday the 25th of September. This means we'll see lengthening Moon windows and higher peak Moon elevation into the coming week. Path losses continue to fall. 144MHz sky noise starts the week low, increasing to moderate by Friday the 2nd of October. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

On Sunday the 27th of September, the UK Microwave Group High Band Contest runs from 0800 to 1700UTC. Using all modes on 5.7 and 10GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 17th of September 2026. Thursday the 17th of September marked a milestone in terms of the solar flux index. On this day the solar flux index fell to 100. This is more psychological than important, but it is a sign that the solar flux index is falling from the dizzy heights of more than 300 that it reached at the height of solar cycle 25 two years ago. The solar flux index briefly dipped to 99 on Sunday the 13th of September but it probably won't be too long before we see it dropping further. The declining solar flux index has been helped somewhat by better ionospheric conditions as we head towards October. The lower solar flux index has also been slightly compensated for by relatively good geomagnetic conditions. The Kp index hit a peak of 4 on Monday the 14th, but has otherwise been around 1 or 2. Daytime maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, over 3,000km have been hovering around 21MHz and nighttime MUFs over 3,000km have been around 7 to 10MHz. But don't ignore 24MHz as we may see the occasional daylight DX opening. We may expect the daytime MUFs to increase slightly as the month progresses. DX to be worked this week includes 5W0AF from Samoa; RI1FJZ from Franz Josef Land; FR/F1TEQ and FH/F1TEQ in Reunion and Mayotte; KH8WW in American Samoa; PJ2/K5SL from Curaçao; and 8Q7JH in the Maldives. Later in the week look for KH0/JR1FKR from Saipan and N7NU/VP9 and VP9I in Bermuda. So, there is lots of DX to search for next week! We expect the solar flux index to hover around 100 over the next seven days but watch out for poor geomagnetic conditions from Thursday the 24th to Sunday the 27th of September when NOAA forecasts that the Kp index could hit 5. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The period of unsettled weather that has brought much-needed rain is just about done for a while, since it looks like high pressure will build across southern UK today, the 20th. It may even produce some ridging over northern Britain, so there is a good chance for tropo in many areas at some stage during the coming week.  Admittedly, the high does gradually edge away to the east by the end of the week, but will still be close enough to provide further lift conditions, especially across the North Sea to the Baltic and south to France.   Don't forget to try calling CQ on SSB or CW in case conditions are up. It's easy to miss a new square unless you are checking remote beacons to see how the lift is developing. The far northwest of the UK will have some occasional rain at times and may miss out on the enhanced lift conditions, especially after midweek. For meteor scatter it is largely a case of trying to catch the best of any random activity. This means checking conditions in the early hours of the morning. The solar activity has produced slightly elevated geomagnetic activity with a Kp index up to 4 at times. With the possibility of a minor storm in the second half of the last week, it probably should remain a watching brief in case we find an unexpected auroral opening, which would tend to favour the equinoxes due to the Russell-McPherron effect. EME now, and Moon declination starts rising again after its lowest point on Friday the 18th of September. Meanwhile, path losses start falling again after apogee, also on the 18th. 144MHz sky noise starts the weekend high, falling back to low by Tuesday the 22nd where it remains for the rest of the week. And finally, if you are coming to National Hamfest, remember to call in and see the RSGB Propagation Studies Committee stand. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

En este episodio de CQ en Frecuencia repasamos el programa del próximo IberRadio 2026 y viajamos hasta las Islas Baleares para conocer la historia de EA6 como entidad DXCC. ¿Por qué cuenta por separado de la España peninsular? Recorremos sus orígenes en el diploma y su interés para quienes buscan nuevos contactos. Además, estrenamos CQ Labs, una sección para experimentar con la radio y compartir lo que ocurre al encender el equipo. En esta primera entrega vivimos un intento de QSO entre Pontevedra y Motril, en la banda de 40 metros: con 5 watios no conseguimos completar el contacto; al subir a 20 watios, llega a la primera. Una experiencia concreta para hablar de potencia, condiciones de propagación y de todo lo que podemos aprender probando en el aire. ¿Nos apoyas para que podamos seguir haciendo este podcast?

¿Por qué Ceuta y Melilla forman una entidad propia dentro del DXCC? En este episodio de CQ en Frecuencia abrimos nuestro álbum sonoro para descubrir la historia de EA9: la entidad que sobrevivió a los cambios territoriales. Recorremos su evolución desde la antigua denominación Spanish Morocco, aclaramos su relación con otros nombres históricos del diploma y nos acercamos a las referencias IOTA y a las posibilidades de hacer radio desde el Estrecho y el mar de Alborán. Después charlamos con los compañeros de EG9MM (EA4HUK, EA4GHH, EA4IWX y EA3JAQ) sobre la expedición que preparan a Melilla para noviembre: cómo nació la idea, qué material están preparando y qué esperan de esos días en el aire. Una conversación cuyo origen se remonta al correo recibido el 30 de junio, anterior a los acontecimientos de las últimas semanas en Ceuta. El episodio nace de aquella propuesta y del interés radioaficionado de la actividad. Además, felicitamos al grupo Conecta-Radio por su cuarto aniversario, celebrando cuatro años de encuentros, aprendizaje y radio compartida. ¿Nos apoyas para que podamos seguir haciendo este podcast?

Send us Fan MailChad T. Jenkins launched more than fifty businesses before he decided to stop launching companies altogether. What he found was that the fastest growth never came from building alone. Chad, owner and CEO of SEEDSPARK and founder of SEEDSPARK CoLAB, joins William to make the case for collaboration over competition, and to show how the assets already sitting in your business become leverage the moment you combine them with someone else's. He walks through the VCR formula he learned from Dean Jackson, vision plus capability times reach, and unpacks how Kylie Jenner's lip kits and a single Nike and Tiffany collaboration prove the math. Along the way he explains the "exploded parts view" of an entrepreneur, the I AMs that make each leader unique, and why his task list has two columns instead of one. If you have been solving growth problems by hiring more or spending more on ads, this conversation offers a shorter road.Chapters00:00 Meet Chad T.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 13th of August 2026 The 2026 solar eclipse is done and dusted, so we can get back to normal HF propagation predictions. The Solar Flux Index dropped below 100 this week, which is more symbolic than anything. But it shows where we are heading as Solar Cycle 25 drops away. The SFI was 99 on the 13th of August with five sunspot groups visible on the solar surface. Activity has been settled with only 12 minor C-Class solar flares over the past seven days. The Kp index has remained low over the past few days, with just one excursion to 5.33 on the 8th of August thanks to an incoming solar wind stream from a coronal mass ejection. Otherwise, it has been mainly in the ones and twos which bodes well for HF. Sporadic-E effects are still showing up on HF, while we haven't yet seen the first signs of an autumnal change in conditions. A plot from the Dourbes Digisonde shows that the Maximum Usable Frequency, or MUF, over a 3,000km path only got as high as 16.8MHz at noon on the 12th of August. There were excursions up to 21.5MHz later in the day but this suggests that 15 and 17m are opening now and again. So keep an eye on the bands. It may sound quiet but they may open up at any time. DX to be worked this week includes A50QO from Bhutan, 3B9/SQ9UM in Rodrigues Island, J68TT from St Lucia, C6AUB in Bahamas from the 19th of August, OJ0JR and OJ0YL from Market Reef and RI1FJL from Franz Josef Land. Next week NOAA predicts that the SFI may remain around the 100-115 mark. We may have unsettled geomagnetic conditions around the 17th to 19th of August, with a predicted maximum Kp of five. More settled conditions are forecast for the 20th of August onwards with a maximum Kp of two. So, it looks like later next week and next weekend will be best for HF DX. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The long spell of settled weather for most southern parts of the country may get a shake up during next week as the high pressure to the east of the country weakens to allow low pressure to move in, bringing some much-needed rain.  Northwestern parts of the UK have had cloudier spells with patchy rain recently and there will be more to come next week. The result is that any Tropo effects will be tailing off after this weekend and then it will be the turn of rain scatter as more unsettled weather arrives. Meteor scatter is probably going to ease back slightly after the peak of the Perseids meteor shower last week, although there will still be a random component to keep things going so stick to the hours around dawn for best results. The solar conditions have shown the occasional increase in the Kp index but not enough to get too excited about aurora, although it's still worth keeping an eye out for values going above a KP of six. We are still in the Sporadic-E season and the recent input of Perseids meteor debris has provided some new fuel for Es so it's by no means all over. The DXcluster maps give a very good idea of the current directions that might prove rewarding.  The main North Atlantic jet stream will run across the UK into Scandinavia so paths to the east and northeast could do well, together with the usual paths to the south. In general, it's still the time of year to check in the morning and again late afternoon for signs of Es activity and if the bands seem quiet then call CQ. For EME operators, we have passed maximum Moon declination and minimum path losses for the month but there's still a few more days of usable Moon time next week if you have a low horizon. Minimum declination and apogee are still over a week away. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Part of my "Hot Topics" show, I am inviting multiple folks onto the channel tonight to talk about this topic that came up during the last episode in this series. Can we call CQ on VHF/UHF? What is your reason for saying yes or no?

CQ CQ this is VK4KSS Victor Kilo Four Kilo Sierra Sierra calling CQ and standing by, Over. On Thursday the 30th of July, The Kairi State School Radio Club, Using the callsign VK4KSS, had an on-air practical session as part of their ham radio studies for their grade 5 and 6 enrichment class. Under the guidance of Stu VK4SDD the students made contact with many stations across VK4 on 40 Metres under trying conditions. This time on air aids them in achieving a foundation licence and is good practice for the CQ Worldwide SSB Contest coming up in October. This has been Ben VK4 Yankee Tango for the Tablelands Radio and Electronics Club. Proud Supporters of the Kairi State School Radio Club. Hi there: it's Sunday 2 August; the moon is half gone; our club's AGM has happened, and a loud buzzing noise appeared from the nation's mobile phones last Monday. I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club and this is QNEWS from the club for this week. The Club's repeater - VK4RDD at Preston - is getting a further makeover.Work on blueprinting the audio has resulted in a massive improvement of sound quality. We're now working on the hamsters that power the Controller, which is on the bench getting a thorough refresh. We've been talking to the manufacturer and we hope to have a few bugs ironed out by next weekend. Meanwhile if you do come up and want information, one of us will be happy to give you the time or temperature, with or without DTMF tones. On the fundraising front, we have advance notice that our entry in the great Bunnings Raffle was successful, and the club is scheduled to cook snags on 19 December. Write down that date: 19 December, and let us know if you're available. What did you think of the Ausalert test? Do you have one of those phones that are non-mainstream? Apparently if your phone runs Graphene OS, the message would have been a "presidential alert", and that text can't be changed at the moment. More importantly, the test showed that 94% of towers broadcast the alert, which means that 6% didn't broadcast it at all. In a real disaster, you would want to be listening to your local community radio station or ham radio repeater as well. We definitely have a role to play in emergency communications. The HamChallenge.org people updated the website over the weekend and we now have challenges through to week 43. The one we missed last week is fascinating, and you can still have a go: it's "Make a QSO using Greyline Propagation". This is literally the twilight zone of HF, where just before sunrise or just after sunset mystical and wonderful things can happen to the bands. I've popped an interesting link in the text edition of this bulletin, which you can download from the WIA or find on our website at ddrci.org.au. Also on our website at ddrci.org.au you'll find details of the next club meeting on Monday 10th of August, news from the AGM about your newly elected committee, and a reminder that memberships are still due and you can renew very quickly online using the big red button. That's it for this week. If you have news or other info that you'd like to get to Darling Downs Radio Club members, drop a line to secretary@ddrci.org.au, I'm John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club. 73 until next week

Erik from Imaginary Game Studios joins Ben this week for, to Norah's chagrin, a math-free conversation about curved paths. After discussing a little game design philosophy as it relates to the games Ben has been playing (Stellar Wander DX and the Pragmata Sketchbook Demo), chatting about Erik's first viewing of the 1983 movie Brainstorm, and dispensing with the miscellaneous “what have we been up to” pleasantries, they move on to the definition accompanied by a brief homophone detour. In the video games segment, they apply the Kübler-Ross model for processing grief to Ben's experiences with the multiplayer third-person extraction shooter developed and published by Embark Studios, ARC Raiders. To close out the program, Erik asks Ben to share the life lesson he learned from the 300+ hours he invested in playing the game.  *** 00:00:20 - Germ factories, the next project, cosmic horror gardening, and a dumb memory joke 00:05:45 - Getting older, an unorthodox method for attracting bats, and stale game mechanics 00:07:56 - Ship combat, pastry mining, lengthening, pushing buttons, and minimalist games 00:13:28 - Getting out of hand, Ben's thoughts on the Pragmata demo, and production costs 00:17:57 - Crayon fingers, different big daddy, compact level design, and accidental purchase 00:22:01 - Douglas Trumbull's divorce from major film directing, and renting a laserdisc player 00:28:39 - Tackling concepts in relatable ways, way too high, CQ, and not choosing favorites 00:32:16 - It's a sled, a math-heavy definition, stocks, Canadian energy, and the homophone 00:40:04 - Watch-along videos, misunderstanding the premise, and lucrative retirement plans 00:44:25 - They prefer sandwiches, SURPRISING NO ONE, copyright law, and arc versus arch 00:48:46 - Erik's excitement, Billy has depression, texts from Ben, and the Kübler-Ross model 00:52:27 - Denial, anger, 65 minutes versus 300 hours, Warframe, and exploring and collecting 00:56:27 - Erik gets Ben back on track, bargaining, industrial plumbers, and on to depression 00:59:34 - Acceptance, Buddhism, psychological healing, the Hairpin Bandit, and matching 01:03:04 - B.F.

Most of us have sat through an inclusion training program that didn't change much—maybe a workshop, a follow-up email, and then it's back to normal. But what happens when an organization moves past the standard checkboxes and actually puts Cultural Intelligence (CQ) to work? In this special LinkedIn Live episode of Truth, Lies & Work, we dive deep into the framework of CQ—an evidence-based, academically validated skill that measures your ability to relate to and work effectively alongside people from different cultural backgrounds. We look at a remarkable real-world case study at Barts Health NHS Trust. By training thousands of staff members across their workforce, they achieved measurable improvements in staff engagement, team dynamics, and patient care in one of the most pressurized environments imaginable. Following the structural approach seen in our Show notes example, this episode breaks down how leaders of any size organization can use CQ to reduce toxic conflict, improve retention, and build a workplace where everyone belongs.

Witnessing to others doesn't have to be scary.

Imagine waiting ten days for important biopsy results only to discover the patient sample was entirely lost; meaning someone has to go under the knife all over again. In modern medical systems, this chaotic scenario is more common than you think. Sam Yeruva, Founder and CEO of PyCube, sat down with Brigitte Cutshall on Real Things Living to discuss how modernizing and digitizing the workflows behind the scenes can dramatically reduce medical errors, lower provider burnout, and save lives. "When your processes are not digitized... you can't improve. You just have to look at things from the outside. When [healthcare workers] know that they can solve and take care of a patient better, their eyes get lit up." — Sam Yeruva Key Takeaways:(1) Solutions Sell, Not Just Technology(2) The Necessity of a "Curiosity Quotient" (CQ)(3) Digitize before you can optimizeVisit https://PyCube.com to explore their latest case studies.

How having faith matters.

In this conversation, Laura tackles the subject of brainwave tech and talks to the CEO of one of the new headband sleep technologies, CQ of the Enchanted Wave, to discuss the fascinating world of dream induction and lucid dreaming. They explore the science behind EEG technology, the methods for inducing lucidity, and understanding more about the phenomenon of lucid dreaming. Laura learns that headbands can monitor the lucid state by recording rapid eye movement and cues such as sound and visual stimuli can help trigger lucidity. And the future? Will there ever be a time when our dreams are actually recorded?

How we pray and why we pray matters.

How we pray and why we pray matters.

Pride is often one of the biggest obstacles we face in our walk with God.

"CQ — the character quotient — is who you are at the core of your values, and how consistently people can trust you to be that person. That to me is the exponential topper." — Bill BlankschaenEvery person has a story no one else has. The problem is most people either don't know how to tell it or don't believe it's worth telling. Bill Blankschaen, author of Your Story Advantage and founder of StoryBuilders, has spent over a decade helping thought leaders (from John Maxwell to Lewis Howes)nfind their story, shape it, and use it to grow their impact, influence, and income.In this episode, Bill breaks down the Story Multiplier Formula, the five traps that keep people from ever telling their story, and why the structure he teaches doesn't constrain you, but actually sets you free to be more creative and more effective. He also walks through IQ, EQ, and the often-overlooked "CQ," and why that last one is the only variable that's entirely your choice.If you've got a message inside you that you haven't figured out how to get out, this is your episode.In this episode, you will learn to:Apply the Story Multiplier Formula to turn who you are into measurable impact, influence, and incomeIdentify and break out of the confidence trap, the chaos trap, and the other story blocks holding you backUnderstand the difference between IQ, EQ, and CQ—and why character is the only one you fully controlBuild a story ecosystem with a clear message, a multiplier like a book, and a path to monetizationEdit your story for your audience, not yourself, because your story is about you but it was never for youFollow Bill Blankschaen:Website → https://billblankschaen.com/Free Resources → https://www.yourstoryadvantage.com/free-resourcesBook → Your Story Advantage by Bill Blankschaen: https://amzn.to/4vPjudWCompany → Story Builders → https://mystorybuilders.com/Book Referenced → Never Quit by Glenn Cunningham (https://amzn.to/4tsDFNe)People Referenced → John Maxwell, Lewis Howes, Dean Graziosi, Jason Wilson, Stephen Covey, Hugh HewittAnd for more storytelling tips and strategies, visit:Website → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

Why should we read the Bible as part of growing our relationship with God?

Pride is often one of the biggest obstacles we face in our walk with God.

Knowing God's character is foundational and imperative if we want to deepen our relationship with Him.

God wants each and every one of us to have a deep, personal relationship with Him. How do we begin?

What about those who've never heard the gospel?

Are you sending out hundreds of resumes only to be met with total silence? When the responses don't come, it's easy to start doubting your worth. You wonder if you're good enough, and that insecurity starts to bleed into your daily life. But what if the problem isn't you? What if the problem is a "filter" that doesn't even know you exist? Today, we are joined by Aleksandra Lemańska, the founder of LemanSkills and a powerhouse leadership strategist. A former professional violinist turned Management Engineer and Startup Founder, Aleksandra's journey is one of incredible resilience. Diagnosed with MS six years ago, she has proven that private setbacks can be the catalyst for extraordinary professional value. In this episode, Aleksandra pulls back the curtain on the "System" used by medium and large companies. She explains why talented people are being filtered out before a human even sees their CV and provides the exact blueprint for tailoring your message, keywords, and visibility to ensure you are the one who gets the call. What we navigate in this episode: Cracking the Filter: Understanding the tags and keywords that determine if your CV lives or dies. The Power of Tailoring: Why sending fewer, smarter applications is the key to recruitment success. Building Visibility: How to create an online presence that speaks for you before you enter the room. Resilience & Reach: How Aleksandra uses her experience with MS to lead with "Smart Leadership" and mental sanity. If you've been feeling invisible in the job market, this episode is your roadmap to becoming seen, heard, and hired. Topics covered: Aleksandra Lemańska, LemanSkills, how to beat ATS filters, resume keyword optimization, leadership growth, career reinvention 2026, smart leadership, communication intelligence (CQ), startup founder coaching, overcoming recruitment silence, why my resume is not landing me offers of interviews, am I good enough for this job.    

Exploring how the early church and its leaders actively set themselves apart from cults.

What does the Bible say about hell?

One of our very own Trendsetters Daniel "Red-Dog" Beaton joins us for a yarn.A few years back, Daniel was diagnosed with lung cancer. After success with particular medication for a while, Daniel had to stop taking his tablets and one day had a scan to reveal that cancer had taken to the brain. This blokes mindset is truly inspiring, not letting it get to him and continuing to love his life to push for the mission of ticking items of his bucket list. We discuss how he goes through day to day, his life before his diagnosis and what drives his positive attitude to tick items off his bucket list. We discuss some of the wild activities he wants to tick off it, including shark cage diving and some iconic fishing trips. It was an honour to get Red Dog on the podcast as we aim to help him finish off that list!
