They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jason Kramer, the hardest things in growing a small business are finding quality people who are reliable, dependable experts with good communication skills. He also notes that juggling all the different aspects of the business can be difficult for some, though less so for him due to his organised approach. Reflecting on his early days, Jason would advise himself to seek out those who have experience and made mistakes to learn from them and accelerate success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jason Kramer's favourite business book is "Profit First" by Mike Michalowicz. He states that this book has significantly impacted how they manage cash flow in their business using a system of multiple bank accounts. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jason Kramer recommends Donald C Kelly's podcast, "The Sales Evangelist", for valuable techniques and ideas. He also finds Jeff Blanto's "Sales Gravy" sometimes interesting.

Host: Alexander McCaig Guest Host: Mark Snider   Key Themes: Consciousness and spiritual exploration Understanding and confronting negative thought patterns The power of journaling and meditation Deep grooves of habitual thinking and overcoming addiction Impact of external circumstances (weather, interactions) on internal states Episode Summary:   Opening: Hosts discuss the essence of living consciously and exploring the boundary between visible and spiritual worlds.   Introduction with Mark Snyder: Mark discusses journaling experiences, noting how external conditions like weather influenced his emotions. Alexander emphasizes how external factors like weather don't inherently carry negativity; rather, it's our perception and thoughts about them that create emotional responses.   Discussion on Journaling: Mark shares excerpts from his journal, reflecting on how writing down thoughts helps manage emotional reactions.

Overcoming these grooves requires awareness, persistence, and patience with oneself, understanding that setbacks are natural parts of the process.   External vs. Internal Influences: Discussion focuses on distinguishing between actual external influence and perceived victimhood.

He emphasizes establishing positive, progressive thought patterns to build resilience against life's adversities.   Spiritual Growth and Authenticity: Authenticity arises from deep self-awareness and truthfulness, empowering one to interact genuinely and confidently without ego-driven barriers.   Current Events - California Fires: Discussion pivots briefly to the California wildfires, highlighting mismanagement, arson, and societal behaviors during crises. Alexander connects these societal behaviors to individual mental states and broader human conditions.   Closing Thoughts: Emphasis on personal accountability and continuous growth.

On this week's episode, I'm talking with anger coach Elizabeth Androeski, an anger coach for Christian moms. She opens up about her journey from being an angry, reactive parent to finding peace in everyday motherhood. Elizabeth shares the practical steps that helped her cope with parenting challenges without responding in anger - changes that completely transformed her family life. In this conversation, we discuss: How Elizabeth transformed from feeling constantly on edge and frustrated with her toddler to becoming a calm, patient mom who can be light-hearted and playful. The two-part approach that made real change possible Her game-changing morning routine that took her stress levels form 8/10 to 1/10 A simple perspective shift that completely changes how you view challenging behavior One of my favorite insights from our talk is that “anger and curiosity cannot coexist.” When we're curious about what's happening with our kids instead of trying to control them, we create space for understanding rather than conflict. Elizabeth's story reminds us that transformation is possible, even when parenting feels overwhelming. If you're in that overwhelmed space right now, I've created something that can help. The Surviving to Thriving Toolkit offers practical, bite-sized strategies that fit within your circle of influence - small changes that can turn a hard day around and help you move from merely surviving to truly thriving in motherhood.

Welcome to this powerful guided meditation for transcendence, inspired by the timeless wisdom of Stoic philosophy: "Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not." — Epictetus This meditation is designed to help you release stress, let go of control, and focus only on what is truly within your power. So much of our suffering comes from fighting reality, clinging to expectations, and resisting change. But when we surrender what we cannot control and anchor ourselves in the present moment, we discover true peace, resilience, and inner strength. Using sound as an anchor, we gently shift awareness beyond thoughts, beyond striving, beyond the mind's need to control, and into a space of deep clarity and presence.   ✨ What You'll Experience in This Meditation: ✔ Wisdom Reflection: Explore Stoic teachings on control, surrender, and inner peace. ✔ Letting Go Practice: Release tension, worries, and attachment to things beyond your control. ✔ Sound as Your Anchor: A steady and neutral guide to help you transcend distractions and stay present. ✔ Transcendence Practice: Move beyond overthinking and reconnect with your true, peaceful self.

In this Heartline Echo Episode, I sit down with Dr. Maryam Zia, a hematologist and oncologist at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, to explore the profound impact of compassionate care in challenging healthcare environments. Dr. Zia's journey serving underserved communities offers a unique perspective on the rewards and challenges of working in public healthcare. Our conversation delves into the heart of what it means to be a woman in medicine, the emotional bonds formed with patients, and the delicate balance between professional dedication and personal well-being. Dr. Zia's insights shed light on the complexities of providing care in resource-limited settings and the unexpected ways in which such work can enrich a physician's life and practice. Key highlights from our discussion include: The evolution of Dr. Zia's career path and her decision to specialize in hematology-oncology The unique challenges and rewards of working in a county hospital system Strategies for maintaining compassion and avoiding burnout in high-stress medical environments The importance of recognizing and addressing signs of professional exhaustion Reflections on the disparities in healthcare and the impact on both patients and providers Discover how to: Cultivate resilience and maintain a sense of purpose in demanding healthcare roles Navigate the emotional complexities of forming bonds with patients facing serious illnesses Implement practical strategies for self-care and boundary-setting in medical practice Find inspiration and motivation through patient interactions, even in challenging circumstances Contribute to positive change within your sphere of influence in healthcare This episode offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals at all stages of their careers, as well as anyone interested in the human side of medicine. Dr. Zia's reflections on her experiences provide a compelling look at the realities of public healthcare and the profound impact of compassionate medical practice. "I think patients really bring you back down, and it's very eye-opening every day. Not just what people are going through medically, but in their lives and their families, with their jobs. And I think we really probably get a lot more out of working there than we give." Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that bridges the gap between medical expertise and human experience. Let Dr. Zia's journey inspire you to find meaning and purpose in your own work, regardless of the challenges you face.

This meditation is designed to help you release resistance, let go of expectations, and surrender to the natural flow of life.

Using sound as an anchor, we gently shift awareness beyond thoughts, beyond struggle, and into a state of deep presence. There is nothing to force, nothing to chase—only a space to simply be.   ✨ What You'll Experience in This Meditation: ✔ Wisdom Reflection: Explore Zen teachings on surrender and detachment. ✔ Letting Go Practice: Release tension, resistance, and attachment to thoughts. ✔ Sound as Your Anchor: A steady, neutral guide to help you transcend distractions. ✔ Transcendence Practice: Move beyond overthinking and reconnect with your true, peaceful self.

In today's episode, we tackle the critical influence managers have on employee performance and business growth. While 70% of employees would quit over a bad manager, research shows managers can be the second most influential people in employees' lives—creating enormous potential for positive impact. Many small business owners fall into the "just hire managers" trap without building the systems to support their success. This leads to stressed managers, disengaged employees, and stalled growth. Effective management requires intentional infrastructure. To set your managers up for success: Redefine management success beyond hitting targets to creating environments where people thrive Build trust through consistent alignment between words and actions Cultivate empathy as a business practice through structured check-ins and support systems Create stability through honest, consistent communication—especially in uncertain times Implement operational systems like standardized meetings, performance frameworks, and leadership playbooks The key takeaway: Effective management is a system, not just a role. When you invest in leadership infrastructure, engagement increases, turnover drops, and you create sustainable paths to scaling your business. Your company will only grow as far as your leadership systems allow. To learn more go to https://bizscalingblueprint.com/

I am delighted to have on the show today Chris Guillebeau, here to talk about his latest, Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live, which is out April 15. You may know Chris from his popular newsletter “A Year of Mental Health” or for his books, including 2010's The Art of Non-Conformity, 2012's The $100 Startup, 2014's The Happiness of Pursuit, 2016's Born for This, 2017's Side Hustle, and 2023's Gonzo Capitalism. In Time Anxiety, Chris examines our relationship with the clock, and in our conversation today defines time anxiety; tells us what a cognitive distortion is, including time blindness; how to cultivate a healthier relationship with time; how many of us have bought into the “magical thinking of time management”; how staying busy might be a way of staying avoidant; how our perception of time changes as we age; how a light schedule can be more psychologically challenging than a full one; and so much more. I learned so much from this book and this conversation. Take a listen!Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live by Chris Guillebeau

Season 3, Episode 8 | "What if your dream vacation isn't a destination—but a skill?"Most people chase travel and adventure as a way to escape the grind, but what if the life you're craving isn't found out there—it's forged right here, in your daily choices? In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch challenge the lie that adventure requires a plane ticket and show how the way we relate to the ordinary shapes everything. When you build a life of voluntary discomfort—choosing hard things on purpose—you don't just prepare for the next trip, you wake up to the adventure already available in your day-to-day. This conversation reframes travel as a reflection of who you're becoming, not what you're booking, and offers a practical invitation to stop waiting and start living awake—wherever you are.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:14 The Illusion of Comfort03:56 The Art of Adventure06:23 Peaks, Valleys, and the Problem with “More”08:00 Travel as a False Fix13:22 From Vacation to Daily Adventure21:03 Anticipation and Preparation34:55 First Steps Toward Daily DiscomfortMentions:Chase Reeves – Expert on minimalist travel gear and creator of in-depth backpack reviewsSeth Godin – Referenced for his TED Talk analogy about mastery and clarinet practiceKierkegaard – Quoted for his insight: “Man finds a level of despair he can tolerate and calls it happiness”Disneyland – Used as an example of how adventure and joy don't automatically come from locationMWOD Future Round – The structured 12-week initiation into voluntary discomfort for new membersShabbat – Cited as a model for intentional rest and presenceAnchor Actions:1. Embrace Daily Discomfort: Choose one small, uncomfortable action that you can commit to every day for 90 days. Whether it's a physical challenge like a daily run or a lifestyle change such as reducing screen time, the key is consistency and embodied action. This practice will build resilience and transform your everyday life into an adventure.2. Cultivate a Mindset of Adventure: Shift your perspective to see your daily life as an opportunity for exploration and growth. Identify areas where you can inject novelty or challenge, such as taking a new route to work or learning a new skill. This approach will help you find joy and fulfillment in the mundane.3. Engage with Community: Consider joining a group or community that supports voluntary discomfort and personal growth. Being part of a supportive network can provide accountability, inspiration, and shared experiences that enhance your journey. If you choose to go solo, ensure you have a plan to track your progress and reflect on your experiences.Join Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

It's essential to understand that experiences of sexual shame vary greatly, depending on the person and circumstances. Addressing the range of feelings openly is vital for a healthy relationship. In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell is joined by April Lampert and Amy Baldwin of "Shameless Sex" to discuss the intricacies of sexual shame, its impact on relationships, and how individuals and couples can navigate towards a more shameless and fulfilling sex life. Together they highlight common misconceptions about sexual shame, and offer practical advice for maintaining passion and intimacy in long-term relationships. They also explore the pervasive nature of shame, from societal pressures to personal traumas, and emphasize the healing power of communication and vulnerability.    Tips in this episode: Many people carry unrecognized sexual shame from past experiences and societal norms; addressing these feelings leads to greater pleasure and connection. Open, compassionate dialogue with partners about sexual dissatisfaction and/or shame significantly enhances intimacy and relationship satisfaction. Sharing vulnerabilities and desires without judgment is vital for overcoming shame and achieving a fulfilling sexual relationship. Sexual shame often flourishes in long-term relationships, due to mismatched desires and societal expectations–addressing it is essential to maintain marital passion.   Subscribe To The Intimate Marriage Podcast: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With Alexandra Stockwell, MD: Website | Linkedin | Instagram   Get your copy of “Uncompromising Intimacy” by Dr. Alexandra Stockwell here: https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl Download the first chapter of Dr Alexandra's bestselling book, “Uncompromising Intimacy,” here:  https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/book Cultivate your intimacy skills (without compromise) in Aligned & Hot Marriage, Dr. Alexandra's proven method for smart couples ready to love more fully:  www.alignedhotmarriage.com Join Dr. Alexandra's email list to stay connected.

Cravings can feel intense... like waves that rise and crash, demanding our attention. Whether it's food, substances, technology, or habits, these urges can easily pull us out of alignment with our values. But mindfulness offers a powerful path toward greater awareness, resilience, and choice. In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, we offer a guided meditation to help you observe cravings without judgment and respond with clarity and compassion. Rather than pushing cravings away or giving in, this practice supports you in riding the wave of the urge—grounded in presence and empowered by choice. In This Guided Meditation, You Will Be Invited To: ✔ Recognize the physical and emotional sensations of cravings ✔ Cultivate a non-judgmental awareness of urges as they arise ✔ Visualize cravings as passing waves in the vast ocean of your awareness ✔ Anchor your attention in the breath and body to create space between urge and action ✔ Reaffirm that you are not your cravings—you are the awareness observing them Whether you're a mindfulness teacher, therapist, or practitioner seeking support in your personal journey, this meditation offers a practical and compassionate way to manage cravings with mindfulness.

I'd love to hear from you! Send a text message.In this thought-provoking conversation, Jill, a 14-year entrepreneurship faculty member at Madison College, reveals how traits like resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving create exceptional leaders regardless of their role.With employee disengagement at record highs and workplace stress permeating organizations, Jill's approach offers a refreshing alternative. Through her newly-launched consulting company Sync, she's addressing the critical gap between what organizations say they value and what they actually practice through systems and processes. The conversation delves into why emotional intelligence ranks as the projected #1 skill employers will seek by 2025, and why most leaders believe they're more self-aware than they actually are."Words matter, but words are only words. We have to take action," Jill explains, highlighting the disconnect in organizations that claim to prioritize well-being but lack meaningful systems to support it. She shares wisdom gained from years teaching students to develop entrepreneurial thinking, and how these same principles create cultures where people genuinely thrive rather than merely survive.The discussion explores vulnerability as a leadership strength, the importance of aligning words with actions, and practical approaches to measuring cultural transformation. For leaders feeling stuck in bureaucracy or teams struggling with connection, this conversation offers both inspiration and tactical insights for creating purpose-driven environments where emotional intelligence drives success.Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or simply looking to develop greater agency in your career, you'll gain valuable perspectives on cultivating the entrepreneurial mindset as your competitive advantage in today's complex workplace.Get in touch with Jill: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jill-huizenga-385b941b/Be the Best Leader You Know Perform with Power, Lead with Impact, Inspire GrowthTo sharpen your skills and increase your confidence, check out the Confident Leader Course: https://www.intentionaleaders.com/confident-leader

 Paul tells us we ought to•‘walk in love as Christ also hath loved us'(5:2).This is seen in the way that husbands and wives should love and respect each other; how children and parents ought to treat each other; even how slaves should behave towards their masters and masters to their slaves. When you walk in love you try to treat all these people and all mankind, in a kind and unselfish manner- walking in just the way the Lord Jesus Christ walked, remembering the love of God; forGod commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8Here are some guidelines for our walk.Cultivate the fruit of the Spirit ( goodness and righteousness) (5:9)Redeem the time- don't waste it (16)Make melody in your heart to the LORD through Psalms and hymns (19)Offer thankful prayer regularly for yourself and God's people, the saints (5:20 & 6:18)Be strong in the LORD in solid defence of the Scriptures and wear the whole armour of God, (6:14-17) ..Wear Truth as a belt and cover your heart with a breastplate of righteousness. As you walk, preach the Gospel, shield yourself with faith; protect your mind with the helmet of salvation and defend yourself with the sword of the Spirit- the Word of God.And let's not forget how helpful a positive attitude is in our walk for .Prov 17: A merry heart doeth good like a medicine!So Let us not be diverted by the call of the word to sin, as did Israel and thus walked on the path which leads to death but rather travel the way to righteousness. Putting on Christ in baptism to become one of the saints.And making sure that our love for our Saviour, Jesus Christ is not just affection but an undying, practical, thankful agape love.
