Do you struggle to wonder what God's will is for your life?Many of us do.Although it isn't a quick answer, the best way to find God's will for your life is to read His Word. The Bible will tell you the answer to that question.Romans 8:31 tells us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”Actually, finding God's will isn't the hardest part. Deciding to follow His will is where we get tripped up.People need the skill and the discipline of being persistent. Too often, the impulse is to give up and then, if we're honest, pretend that God hasn't revealed His will to us.Good old Abe Lincoln had it right when he said that the only important response is to make sure we are on God's side, not whether He's on ours.God has already told us that He's on our side. He sent His Son, Jesus, to take the penalty for our sin. It doesn't get any more “on our side” than that. Change your thinking a bit. Don't focus on what you think God is supposed to do. Resolve instead to follow God, and to do it every day.Let's pray.Lord, your will is the thing that drives us on, to find our purpose in this life. Thank you for sticking with us. Help us to stick with you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

In this episode, Gino and Rob have another "Coffee Shop Conversation" to discuss the power of organization, self-reflection, and trusting the journey. They explore the “one place” system—keeping essential information in a single, organized spot, whether handwritten or digital. Gino shares why he prefers handwritten notes for deeper retention and emotional connection, while emphasizing the importance of selective filing—keeping only what truly matters and letting go of the rest.The conversation then shifts to embracing uncertainty and recognizing how our perceptions of others mirror our inner struggles. They highlight the importance of staying mission-driven, especially during business transitions, and trusting that the right opportunities will emerge. In the end, they reiterate their shared vision: freeing a million entrepreneurs by following their passion, purpose, and intuition.

Now a coach, helm, and passionate advocate for women in sport, she talks about training, teamwork, and the power of inclusive communities.

Deciding whether euthanasia is appropriate for a dog with severe behavior issues is one of the most heartbreaking choices a dog owner can face. In this episode, we explore when behavioral euthanasia may be the most compassionate option—such as when a dog poses an unmanageable safety risk, suffers from poor quality of life due to extreme anxiety or aggression, or has exhausted all training and medical interventions.We'll discuss the ethical considerations, how to assess a dog's well-being objectively, and the difficult question of whether we're keeping a dog alive for them—or for ourselves. If you've ever struggled with this decision, this episode offers guidance, empathy, and professional insight to help you navigate this emotional journey.Subscribe for more bite-sized episodes and visit USADogBehavior.com for additional resources!Find us at USADogBehavior.com.Follow us on Facebook.DisclaimerIf your dog is aggressive toward humans, consult an experienced, certified canine behavior consultant immediately and ensure your dog cannot harm anyone.

We began a new series about analyzing the gurus! We'll be spending time discussing several big personal finance names, their recommendations, and why we do or do not agree with those. Josh and Amelie discuss Suze Orman's philosophy of debt, preparing for retirement, and investing. Top takeaways: Overly simplistic advice (supposedly for everyone), doesn't actually work for anyone. People generally need a softer approach to personal finance in order to encourage change. Paying off your mortgage early doesn't lower your living costs as much as you think it will and can cause financial issues. The avalanche and snowball method of debt payment are both overly simplistic and aren't ideal for anyone. A 20% downpayment on a home isn't always (or ever) necessary. Look at the ROI before taking out student loans, but remember that it needs to be a personal analysis. Research a potential financial advisor to verify their credentials. Do-it-Yourself investing may be okay for a start, but comprehensive financial planning is better for more complex situations. Age 70 may not be the most optimal age to start taking Social Security. When to start taking Social Security is not reversible and will impact the rest of your life. A specific retirement goal of $1 million or $2 million is arbitrary, as each person's goal is unique based on their circumstances, goals, and needs.

From the moment Henry Ford put the world on wheels, Ford has stood for not just cars, but mobility. More than just helping people move from one place to another, Ford gives people the opportunity to reach and achieve more. That same ethos drives Ford Philanthropy today. Rebranded from the “Ford Fund” to reflect a deeper, more holistic commitment, Ford Philanthropy is using the company's global reach and core strength of mobility to help people move forward not just in life—but on the road.We invited Mary Culler, President of Ford Philanthropy, to share how her team is redefining what corporate giving looks like. From co-creating community centers to launching the “Building Together” initiative that connects Ford's 3,000+ dealers and employee volunteers with national nonprofits, Ford is uniting its assets to deliver impact at scale. Whether through mobile health clinics or restoring Detroit's historic Michigan Central Station as a beacon of innovation and equity, Ford Philanthropy is tackling one of the greatest barriers to equity: access. For any purpose-driven leader, the message is clear: legacy, when aligned with innovation and humility, can be one of the most powerful tools for change.Listen for insights on:Identifying philanthropic solutions in local communitiesMobilizing corporate assets beyond dollarsEvolve a legacy program into a modern philanthropy platform Resources + Links:Mary Culler's LinkedInFord PhilanthropyNew York Times: Ford Rescues a Detroit Train Station as It Plots Its Own FutureTennessee Community Center (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Mary Culler from Ford Philanthropy (02:16) - Mary's Background (03:46) - Their Focus (05:39) - Rebranding (06:53) - Committed to America ad (08:25) - The Stanton Story (10:25) - Michigan Central Station (12:49) - Building Together Initiative (16:20) - Volunteerism (17:34) - Building Together (18:05) - Transportation Gap (19:47) - Mobile Health (20:21) - Deciding Where the Money Goes (21:01) - Future of Philanthropy (21:48) - Proving You're Having an Impact (22:54) - The Station (23:36) - Last Word (24:36) - Wrap Up

America maintains a promise to its citizens. A promise to never leave them behind and stop at nothing to return them to American soil. Over 200 Americans are wrongfully detained or taken hostage each year across the globe. The Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs is responsible for bringing them home. Ambassador Roger Carstens served as the SPEHA from 2020-2025. A West Point Graduate, Green Beret, Army Ranger, and seasoned security leader, Roger and his team brought home close to 70 Americans during his tenure; including high profile cases such as WNBA star Brittney Griner and Wall Street Journal Reporter Evan Gerskovich. Roger joined Fran Racioppi from the McCain Institute in Washington, DC for a conversation on the role of the SPEHA, why countries take Americans for leverage, and just how America negotiates with terrorists. We explore the effects of wrongful detention and hostage taking on America's national power, how families are turned completely upside down, and why only a Warrior Diplomat has the character required to make deals with America's adversaries.Roger and Fran also share the mission of Hostage US; a non-profit instrumental in supporting hostages and wrongful detainees - and their families - through captivity, return and reintegration. Watch, listen or read our conversation. Special thanks to the McCain Institute for hosting us and sharing their mission to defend and enhance human rights across the globe.

In this episode, Mark sits down with Russel Dubree, founder of Performance Faction and former agency owner who built and sold a multi-million dollar creative business. They talk turkey (literally), before diving into the hard-won lessons of entrepreneurship—what it means to grind, the challenges of hiring and leading a team, the highs and lows of partnerships, and what ultimately led to Russel's decision to sell his agency and pursue business coaching.In this conversation, Russel shares the real story of growing a business from nothing—starting with a $500 credit card charge and a dream, all the way to a $5M agency with 16 employees. He opens up about poor hiring decisions, burnout, navigating family and business, and the wake-up call that helped him redefine success. Now, as a coach, he helps agency leaders find their purpose, build resilient teams, and grow with clarity and intention.Takeaways:Early business lessons often come through trial by fire.Good partnerships require alignment, clarity, and tough conversations.Hiring slow (and right) is one of the most important decisions in growing an agency.Don't build to the price—price to the value.Growth without process can create chaos, not success.Purpose—not profit—will keep you going long term.Leadership means owning your shortcomings and creating a culture that retains top talent.Time with family can't be an afterthought. Balance comes with communication.Saying "no" is often more important than saying "yes."Success doesn't mean burnout—it means building something meaningful, on purpose.Connect with Russel:performancefaction.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/russeldubreeLearn More: Visit TheFridayHabit.com for show notes, resources, and to download the guide on working on your business rather than in it.

Episode 586: Pickup and Delivery Games Episode release date is July 9, 2025 Show Notes This week we kick off our discussion of pickup and deliver games. So, we are going to line up a bunch of games and choose some to discuss. Intro of Meeple Nation The World's Most Okayest Podcast Web Page Become a Chanameeple Links to Episodes SaltPOD: A SaltCON Podcast Bios Email us at MeepleNation@gmail.com Patreon Instagram @meeplenation Facebook Meeple Nation Facebook Group Meeple Nation Off Air X Meeple Nation Discord Meeple Nation Sponsorship Game Toppers SaltCON Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan Sequoia Sequoia is a quick, light dice-rolling and area majority game where players compete to grow the tallest trees in 11 different "forests." Objective: Have the tallest tree (most tree tokens) in as many forests as possible to score victory points. Over 10 turns, all players simultaneously roll five dice. They then secretly form two pairs from four of those dice (leaving one die unused). The sum of each pair determines which "forest" (numbered 2-12) they can place a tree token in. Strategy: You have to decide whether to focus on a few forests to dominate them, or spread your efforts to secure second-place consolation prizes. After 10 turns, the player with the most trees in a forest gets the first-place points, and the second-place player gets a smaller consolation prize. Ties are resolved with special tie-breaker rounds. Quick and Portable: Sequoia is known for its fast gameplay (around 10-15 minutes) and small box size, making it easy to bring to game nights. Switchback Switchback is a quick and engaging tile-laying board game where players are trying to create the longest continuous paths of numbers (representing hiking trails up a mountain). Score the most points by having your "hikers" on tiles that form continuous numerical sequences of four or more tiles. Players take turns placing a tile from their hand onto the board. After placing a tile, they either place one of their hikers on that tile, or "buddy up" two of their hikers for a future double move. You'll constantly be making choices like: Where to place your tile to extend your own paths or block opponents. When to place a hiker versus buddying them up for a better placement later. Whether to join an opponent's path to share points or create your own. At the end of the game (when all tiles are placed), only hikers on paths of four or more consecutive numbers score points. Simple rules but tough decisions, all with a quick playtime (10-20 minutes). Douglas Tiny Epic Cthulhu This week we are kicking off our discussion of pickup and delivery games. The "Pick-up and Delivery" (P&D) mechanic in board games is a core gameplay loop where players acquire specific items or units from one location on the game board and then transport them to another designated location to complete an objective or earn points. It's a fundamental concept that simulates logistics, trade, and transportation challenges within a game's theme. Here's a breakdown of its characteristics and how it's used: Core Characteristics of Pick-up and Delivery: Goods/Passengers/Resources: There's always something to be picked up. Pick-up Locations (Sources): Designated spots on the board where the goods originate. These can be: Fixed locations: Factories, farms, cities, ports. Player-controlled locations: A player's own production buildings. Dynamically generated: Cards drawn that specify a pick-up point. Delivery Locations (Destinations): Designated spots where the goods need to be dropped off. Movement/Transportation: Players use their game pieces (vehicles, ships, trains, pawns representing workers) to move from the pick-up location to the delivery location. This often involves: Movement costs: Spending actions, money, or specific movement points. Route planning: Deciding the most efficient or strategic path. Obstacles/Competition: Other players, terrain, or events that impede movement or make certain routes less desirable. Capacity Limits: Players usually have a limited capacity for how many items they can carry at once, forcing strategic decisions about what to pick up and when. Reward/Completion: Successfully delivering an item typically grants: Victory points: The most common form of reward. Money or resources: To fund further actions. Unlocking new abilities: Access to new routes or upgrades. Advancing on a track: Progressing towards an endgame condition. The P&D mechanic is incredibly versatile and appears in many genres: Logistics and Trade Games: Theme: Often about managing a transportation network or economy. Economic Games: Theme: Focus on resource management, production, and supply chains. Adventure and Quest Games: Theme: Characters embarking on journeys, completing tasks, or rescuing individuals. Worker Placement Games (often integrated): Theme: Players assigning workers to perform actions. Overall, the Pick-up and Delivery mechanic adds a layer of logistical challenge and strategic depth to board games, forcing players to think about movement, resource management, and timing to achieve their objectives.

Deciding between individual and group experiences will depend on personal needs, an honest assessment of your expectations and content, and comfort level in groups. Cultural influence may shape preferences for individual or group psychedelic experiences, but ultimately, hybrid models are emerging to offer diverse healing opportunities and the profound power of being witnessed.This week we take a deep dive into the nuanced dynamics of individual versus group psychedelic experiences, examining cultural, psychological, and practical considerations. We will discuss substances like ayahuasca, yagé, and psilocybin mushrooms ,exploring the cultural impact of their use in group contexts such as communal ceremonies or private treatments like a dieta. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and we will consider factors like accessibility, personal comfort, and societal influences when individuals are choosing their healing path. You'll find how flexible, hybrid models that incorporate both individual and communal elements, might just be the future of psychedelic healing. Additionally, we will address a question asked by one of our community members about substance interactions, specifically the timing between MDMA and psilocybin, offering guidance grounded in safety and individual readiness.

Over the last decade, our Internet experience has become increasingly dictated by algorithms- data-driven equations that try to anticipate (and elicit) our desires. The problem is, they often get it wrong. The math doesn't math. Kyle Chayka (staff writer, The New Yorker) has written a new book on the subject entitled "Filterworld." This week, Tanya and Kyle talk about this ever-tightening web woven by algorithms and how we can begin breaking free from it.
Financial Coaches Network - The Podcast: Build your Financial Coaching Business
Today, join Josh and Garrett as they discuss what Paid Search Advertising is and when it's relevant to financial coaches! 3 (+2!) key takeaways: The benefit of paid search is that IF (big if) you do it right, it gets you in front of people who are actively looking for a solution to a problem that you solve through your coaching. Paid search gives you keyword targeting abilities AND audience targeting capabilities. Three things that impact where your ad is placed: price (how much are you paying), competition (how many others and how much are they paying), “quality score” (does this ad actually answer the person's question that they were searching for? Is there value on the page? How trustworthy is the website?) Use key phrases, NOT key words. The fewer people who see your ad, the better, because that means you've targeted it exactly to those people who are actually potential prospects, not those who will never be prospects.

Imagine that you start medical school knowing exactly which field you want to go into. You line up your mentors and your research projects in that field. Whenever you shadow a physician, it's in that specialty. Eventually, you start your 3rd year of med school, and you tell everyone what you want to do. And then - you change your mind. You fall in love with a totally different field. What do you do? In this episode, we hear from two recent SOM grads, Dr. Mia Wessel and Dr. Beita Badiei, about this exact scenario. They share how they pivoted, what went into those decisions, and how to choose a specialty more broadly as an M3.

From mortgaging his house for a used “bug truck” to commanding Ohio's slickest 10,000-sq-ft “Beehive” HQ, Jason Carpenter has turned Environmental Pest Management into the Midwest's apartment-pest juggernaut—servicing 1 million+ units with a patented data platform (“Pest Genius”) and a 3,000-page digital playbook that lets the business run while he's on the back nine. Sit in with the Blue-Collar Twins as Jason lays out: Door-Knock Origins → $350 K Contract – how a single 50-unit bed-bug job snowballed into a $300 K+ recurring deal and rewired his focus from homes to high-density housing.Pest Genius – the in-house software (and patent) that tracks every unit, photo, KPI and health-department audit across millions of square feet.EOS + Family Power – wife Karen (COO), son Brandon (VP) and daughter Kayla (content chief) running weekly scorecard L10s while Jason stays out of the office—unless he's eaten or played 18.Net over Vanity – why a Franco Giannamore valuation wake-up call pushed margins from “meh” to mission-critical and reset his eight-year, $20 M/20 % BHAG.Golf, Barter & Brand – converting country-club barters into 100+ clients and why density beats door-to-door for long-term wealth.Exit Options – succession plans, EBITDA realities and the number that makes walking off the course worth it. Stick around for Jason's candid take on therapy-backed leadership, mastermind ROI, and why every technician needs to read their P&L.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to the third in a series of our videos on conflict with Dr. Sue Edwards from Dallas Seminary. You can read her bio online. We began by discussing Be Prepared for Conflict. And in our last video, we talked about just the Tendencies of Women—not for all women, but many women tend to deal with conflict in a certain way. And in this video, we're going to talk about Peacemaking Practices for Sisters. And I'm excited about really getting into how to take care of conflict. I'd also like to let you know that we did a series with Oletha Barnett that really gave the foundational principles that Sue's going to kind of take some of those apart in a practical way for us no—to how to make peace and what the Bible says about conflict. And so that really is important for you to have those principles you may need to go back. That would be the third video in that series called Fight Right with Oletha Barnett, which you can find on our website. And also on our Vimeo page. So, Sue, as you think about this, what are the peacemaking practices for sisters? Sue >> Well, of course, as Oletha said, Matthew 18:15-17 gives us some really three different steps and that helps us know that we want to master that. Although it's easy to make things formulaic when you're in real situations. It's not quite that easy. But still the principles in these steps that Jesus taught us are wonderful. Kay >> Well, let me ask you, before you even get into those, how do you decide that you need to go to one of those practices? How do you know when you have to sort of attack the problem rather than let it settle? Sue >> Well, I know when there's a possible relational disconnect. That to me, relationships are so important for the unity of the body—that we women work together, that we love each other, we support each other. So if there is a possibility, if I see that woman at the grocery store and I go the other aisle or I'm still having imaginary conversations with her three or four days later, then I know that this needs to be dealt with. Or if I even get a sense that she's hurt or she's avoiding me. And what we want to do is come together, but in a sense of a learning conversation. In other words, I want to sit down with you because you are important to me. I love you as a sister in Christ, and I don't want anything to interfere with our relationship. And so if there's anything that might, so there's ways to do it that are not so scary. So, a lot of times we hate this. We think it's going to get mean and confrontational. It doesn't have to. And if that person is a healthy person, then you come at it with that kind of tone of voice and hard attitude because you think there's some issue, whether they did it, whether you did it, whatever. I would go and try to work that through. And if they're healthy,
Meet Richard Aviles, a U.S. Army Veteran and former Military Policeman whose story is as raw as it is remarkable. In this Urban Valor episode, Richard recounts growing up in Puerto Rico, navigating culture shock in the U.S., and enlisting in the Army to escape homelessness and pursue purpose.Within months, he found himself deployed to Iraq, running combat missions, clearing houses, and collecting biometrics in high-risk environments.

It's about chasing validation, confronting your past, and learning to live with the scars you carry. Whether you're a veteran, military family member, or civilian seeking to understand the true cost of war, this one will hit home.

This journey was born from an inner calling I couldn't ignore—one that led me to confront feelings of guilt, conditioning, and the weight of societal expectations placed on women. As I walked among ancient ruins and connected with the energy of the land, I found myself shedding old layers and stepping into a deeper sense of self. I speak candidly about what it means to follow your intuition, even when it doesn't make sense to others, and how this trip became a catalyst for rediscovering my voice and power.Through the lens of my upbringing and life experiences, I explore the profound transformation that occurs when we expose ourselves to new cultures and ways of being. Greece reminded me that womanhood is not confined to roles or rules—it's a living, breathing force that evolves as we do. In sharing this journey, my hope is to inspire you to listen to the whispers of your soul, to challenge the patterns that no longer serve you, and to step into the most authentic version of yourself. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to all women who are ready to rise, remember, and reclaim their truth.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Welcome to the Greece series(1:24) A wild heart's journey(1:40) Childhood dreams and travel aspirations(3:41) Overcoming financial barriers(8:11) First experiences in Greece(14:27) The call to return to Greece(16:21) Embracing new patterns and beliefs(23:17) The importance of self-care and rest(26:33) Deciding to take the leap

In this episode, I'm diving into a potent truth: manifestation doesn't begin with desire—it begins with decision. I'll share what the word decide actually means (spoiler: it's more powerful than you think), how indecision leaks your energy, and why making a soul-aligned decision is often the turning point to clarity, momentum, and manifestation. We'll explore the energetic shift that happens when you stop waiting and fully claim what you want, plus how to align your identity, actions, and intuition with the version of you who already has it. This is about walking through the door and closing it behind you—fully choosing your next level. This episode is here to activate something deep within you… It's time to choose.
