The real mistake isn't spending too much. It's dying with money you never used. Bill Perkins built a career generating over $2.2 billion in trading profits as a hedge fund manager. His book Die With Zero reframes what money is actually for. Money is a tool, not a goal. Every dollar you hold at death represents life energy you spent earning it and never converted into something real. The question isn't how much you save. It's whether you're using your wealth, your health, and your time together, in the right order, to get the most out of your one shot. That's where memory dividends come in. When you invest in an experience, you don't just get the moment. You get a return every time you recall it, tell the story, or relive it in conversation. The joy compounds long after the trip ends. But timing matters more than most people realize. Your ability to convert money into meaningful experience decays as you age. The adventures your body wants now won't be available at 72. Life is like Tetris. Get the pieces in the right order, and you get everything. Delay too long, and the window quietly closes. Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life Amazon Ebook Audiobook Bill on X Bill on Instagram In this episode you will: Understand the Die With Zero philosophy and why every dollar you die holding is proof you worked for no reward Discover the memory dividend concept and why investing in experiences now pays compounding joy long after the moment passes Learn the time bucket framework for getting your biggest experiences in the right order before your body, not your bank account, makes the decision for you Identify the biggest psychological crime around money: fearing you'll run out instead of fearing you'll waste your one life Build the belief, mindset, and consistency that Bill Perkins says are the three keys to earning more and actually feeling fulfilled by what you have For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1937 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes Solo [$0-1M Blueprint] Mrs. Dow Jones Myron Golden TOPICS Bill Perkins, Die With Zero, memory dividends, time buckets, life is Tetris, scarcity mindset, net fulfillment, legacy and inheritance, Your Money or Your Life, financial fulfillment Get More From Lewis!

She first heard about intermittent fasting in 2022 when she was working as a nutrition coach and one of her clients mentioned it to her. From that point on, she was an intermittent fasting dabbler. Finally, in October of 2024, she decided to stop dabbling and fully commit. Gin's phrase “Saturday is not a special occasion…it happens every week” spoke to her, and she knew it was time. Because of her long and varied diet history, Dee has stopped weighing herself. Instead, she goes by how she feels and the fit of her clothes. She is currently living her goal lifestyle, and feels good wearing a size 8 in pants. Dee is a self-described “logical vegan,” and she focuses on getting in nutrients from a wide variety of plant foods. One of her biggest non-scale victories is that she is no longer an emotional binge eater. She no longer has skin tags, which indicates that she has improved her insulin resistance.At the end of the episode, Dee reminds new IFers that Saturday is not a special occasion, and that they should explore all of Gin's resources, including the book 28-Day Fast Start Day by Day, which is a great way to get started on your IF journey.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

The influence of comparison, imposter syndrome, and anxiety on your leadership strength. Comparison and imposter syndrome negatively impact the ability to lead. They steal confidence and stem from an anxiety response loop. The combination of comparison and anxiety, and imposter syndrome and anxiety, quite often go hand-in-hand. One of the key responses to comparison and imposter syndrome is to be diligent in pursuing what God is calling you to (motherhood, career, business ownership), while detaching from what others think of you or are doing. In other words, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. An example of how social media activates an anxiety response loop. Anxiety, Comparison, and Imposter Syndrome: Understanding the Vicious Cycle Anxiety does not simply coexist with comparison and imposter syndrome. Rather, it drives them. When your nervous system is dysregulated, it scans constantly for evidence of threat. In the context of leadership, that threat often takes the form of questions: " Am I enough or am I good enough?" How the Anxiety, Comparison, and Imposter Syndrome Cycle Works Step 1: Anxiety Activates the Nervous System Step 2: Comparison Enters Through Social Media and the Environment Step 3: Imposter Syndrome Amplifies the Fear Step 4: Anxiety Increases, Behavior Becomes Avoidant Step 5: Social Media Accelerates the Entire Loop What Comparison and Imposter Syndrome Look Like in Christian Women Leaders These behaviors disguise themselves as humility or self-awareness. Consequently, they are among the hardest patterns to recognize. Do any of these feel familiar? You: Minimize your achievements because someone else has accomplished more. Hesitate to share your expertise publicly because you fear being found out. Overprepare obsessively because you feel less qualified than others think you are. Scroll social media and feel deflated, even when your own life is genuinely good. Delay the next step in your calling until you feel more ready. Attribute your successes to luck and your failures to personal inadequacy. Replay conversations at night, analyzing every way you may have fallen short. Avoid feedback or new opportunities because failure feels unbearable. Your Identity in Christ: The Only Truth That Breaks the Cycle Here is what this cycle is working overtime to prevent you from believing: you were not made to measure yourself against anyone else. Biblical Truths These are not affirmations. They are facts. How Christian Women Leaders Can Break the Comparison and Imposter Syndrome Cycle Breaking this cycle requires addressing both the nervous system driving it and the identity lies fueling it. Here is where to begin: 1. Name the Cycle When It Starts 2. Regulate Before You Scroll 3. Audit Your Feed Ruthlessly 4. Replace the Lie with a Specific Truth 5. Renew Your Mind Before the World Gets to It 6. Test Your Own Work, Not Hers What Breaking the Cycle Looks Like in the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop REFLECTION QUESTIONS Where does the comparison and imposter syndrome cycle most often start for you — social media, a specific relationship, or a particular environment? Which imposter lie shows up most frequently? What specific Scripture truth directly counters it? What would it feel like to measure your progress only against God's purposes for your life this week — and no one else's? Read the full show notes and access all links.
Procrastination on workouts and healthy habits is rarely about time or energy. There is usually a feeling underneath the delay that the mind is working hard to avoid. Naming that feeling takes some of its power away. Making a smaller first move takes the rest. The goal does not have to shrink. Just the entry point. Once you are moving the resistance almost always does too.

What if delay and discouragement are not your reality in God?Many believers carry prophetic promises, dreams, callings, and assignments that seem delayed. Over time, disappointment can become discouragement, and discouragement can begin to shape how we see our future.But what if things are not as they seem?In this episode, Robert Hotchkin explores one of the most powerful revelations in Scripture: THE NOW OF GOD. Through Moses's encounter with the Great I AM at the burning bush, you'll discover how God's eternal nature changes the way we view His promises, our circumstances, and what is possible right now.In this teaching you'll learn:• Why delay and discouragement often work together• How God canceled 40 years of delay in Moses's life• Why God's promises exist in the eternal NOW OF GOD• How present-tense faith activates fulfillment• Keys to renewed hope and divine acceleration• How to partner with God for the manifestation of His promisesTHE NOW OF GOD is not merely a concept. It is a biblical reality rooted in the nature of the Great I AM. When you discover what IS in God, you can begin to see it BE manifested in your life.If you've been waiting for breakthrough, fulfillment, or promises to come to pass, this episode will encourage your faith and help you see your circumstances from Heaven's perspective.

Have you ever listened to someone tell a story and thought, “Please get to the point.” Some people include every detail, every side story, every random moment. And when they say, ‘To make a long story short,' you know the story is about to get longer. Now, when it comes to your Bible, long stories are kept short. One encounter with Jesus would be an entire best selling book, and instead we read about it in a single paragraph. Many details are left out for the sake of not losing our attention. How sweet of God to get to the point and keep it short. However, when studying our Bible, it’s important to remember, there’s always more to the story than you read. You have to read between the lines and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the details and feelings that apply to you today. Don’t just speed read the story, slow down and imagine it fully. What you will find is a lesson that applies to you today. Let’s practice together today. Take a few minutes and read Acts 3. In my Bible, this story is titled, “Peter Heals a Crippled Beggar.” Acts 3: 1-10, “Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o'clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money.” “Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, ‘Look at us!' The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. But Peter said ‘I don't have any silver or gold for you. But I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!'” “Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man's feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping and praising God, he went into to the Temple with them.” Now, let’s dig deeper. Let’s read between the lines and find more in this story. First, get the visual. This gate outside the temple is not just an ordinary gate. It is the Beautiful Gate, literally. It is 75 feet tall, made of solid bronze. It is the massive entrance to the temple where people would gather to pray. And here this man sat at a beautiful gate while living a broken life. Isn't it interesting that a broken man was laid daily at a gate called Beautiful? You can be surrounded by beauty and still feel broken inside. You can sit at the entrance of worship while silently carrying disappointment, pain and unanswered prayers. It was customary to give to those in need on the way to the temple, so the gate was the gathering place for anyone seeking spare change. But don’t you know, God is interested in more than spare change, he is interested in soul change! He wants to create a change in you that cannot be denied, and he wants to use that change in you as a display of his undeniable power to everyone around you. Now this man who was born unable to walk was over 40 years old. And we’re told that he was carried there each day to beg from those entering the temple. This is the same temple Jesus himself had gone to just weeks earlier. Jesus had likely walked through this exact gate. And if this man was carried there every day, odds are Jesus had passed right by him. Weeks earlier, Matthew 21:14 says, “The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.” Yes, this same temple with this same gate. Jesus had been there. Jesus had healed other. So, why hadn’t Jesus healed this man when he was there? I want you to imagine for a moment being this man, laying by the temple every single day, begging for a little change, and one day Jesus shows up and heals people just like you, BUT NOT YOU. Imagine seeing others get their miracle, but not you. Why are you left still begging and waiting? Why couldn’t Jesus change your situation when he so clearly changed others? And maybe that’s exactly how you feel right now. Other people have gotten what you’re still begging for, so why were you overlooked? If God has the power to do it for everyone and you’ve seen him do it for someone else, why won’t he do it for you? You’ve heard those love stories of the girl finally finding the man who could love her so perfectly … but why not you? You’ve heard about people with your exact same illness being miraculously healed, but why not you? You’ve heard about God showing up and providing in the wildest ways, but why hasn’t he shown up for you? Nothing tests your faith quite like watching God do for someone else what you've been begging Him to do for you. Or maybe someone you love has been left still waiting and wondering ‘why not them'? If Jesus can do it, and he has done it for others, why hasn’t he done it for them? What do you say to that? Could Jesus have passed by this man before? Could he have chosen not to heal him? Could this man have been left out when others were healed? Absolutely. But why? Everything God does and doesn’t do is for the perfect timing for the greatest glory and eternal purposes. There’s always a much bigger story unfolding. We only see the current page in our present chapter, but God knows the whole story and he’s not rushing to get to the end. God is not willing to waste a single opportunity or miss one detail. God's purpose is always greater than our understand, even when the outcome is different than we expected. Before Peter ever noticed this man laying at the gate called Beautiful, Jesus already knew his name, his pain and every day he had spent waiting. Jesus always knew about this lame man laying at the gate called Beautiful. Remember, Jesus is God in the flesh. They are one. God created this man. God knew every detail about him. He wasn’t overlooked. He wasn’t forgotten. Delay is not denial when God is still writing the story. He was left still waiting and begging in the weeks after Jesus had come to the temple and healed others, and he was waiting for a greater purpose. It was for the greater glory of God that Jesus would heal this man from Heaven, through Peter and John. We need to see that Jesus doesn’t have to personally be seen for his power to be at work. He heals from Heaven, and he does it through us! So, yes, Jesus likely had walked by this man at the gate before. And no, Jesus didn’t heal him when he was there, he left him waiting. Waiting but not without purpose. My sister, you are still waiting because there’s a greater purpose. There’s a bigger story. Let’s read between the lines. Just a few days before the cross, Jesus came to the temple. He helped the blind and the lame. People saw his wonderful miracles live and in person. But, scripture says they were indignant, meaning they were annoyed, irritated and angry. But now when Peter and John come to the temple a few weeks after Jesus, they heal this one man and something huge happens. Acts 4:4, “Many who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about 5,000!” Could this crippled man have been left waiting for healing because God had bigger plans to use his later healing for the saving of thousands of lives? YES!!!! And could you be left still waiting, not because God has overlooked you, but because God has bigger plans for things you can’t even imagine? YES!!!! My sister, your story is part of a bigger story. Have faith in God’s perfect timing to show up for you, then use you for his glory. Now, let’s dig even deeper. Remember, you’re getting a very long story made very short, but the Holy Spirit wants to show you more. This man was begging for money to just get through the day, and there’s no fault in that. There were no government programs to assist him. They had no special jobs for those who couldn’t walk. The only thing he could do was beg. But God can do more than make our current condition more bearable, he can radically change it! This man would have settled for a little change that day to buy his next meal, but what God had in mind was a big change so he could earn his next meal. We would all be so quick to settle for a little change to make our current conditions more bearable. But God wants to change something within you and empower you to live like you’ve never lived before. Are you up for that change? Are you up for never sitting where you’ve been stuck before? Are you up for being strengthened to show up different? Are you ready to leave behind the identity you've carried in your brokenness? Are you ready to stop living limited by what once held you down? Not everyone is ready for that, so really consider what you would do if your excuses were stripped from you and you have absolutely no viable reason why you can’t show up in life. If you’re ready for that, God’s got something for you! One more aspect of this story I feel the Holy Spirit is prompting us to see is the details of the healing. Let's read verse 7 & 8 again, “The man's feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk!” It's so interesting that the word translated “feet” only occurs in this scripture. It is never used anywhere else. It was a word used to differentiate between parts of the human heel. The word “ankle” is a medical term also found no where else in scripture. The phrase “jumped up” describes the coming suddenly into socket of something that was out of place. This is literally a medical description of what happened for this man. The power of God put what was out of place into place. What’s out of place in your life? Do you need God to suddenly put it into place? GOD CAN DO THAT!!!!!! He can take what has always been out of place in your life and put it right where it needs to be so that you can do what you’ve never been able to do before. And maybe he’s never put it into place before, but it’s not because he can’t. He knows exactly what needs to happen, and he knows precisely the right time for it to happen. Sometimes God's great purpose leads to immediate breakthrough. Sometimes it leads to endurance, deeper faith, or a testimony built over years instead of moments. But either way, your waiting is never wasted. The man at the Beautiful Gate thought he needed enough change to survive another day. But God had planned complete transformation. And maybe what feels like delay in your life is actually God preparing a moment that will reveal His power in a way you could never have imagined. Do NOT lose heart in the waiting. Heaven has not overlooked you. Jesus still sees you. And there is still more to the story.

He wasn’t overlooked. He wasn’t forgotten. Delay is not denial when God is still writing the story. He was left still waiting and begging in the weeks after Jesus had come to the temple and healed others, and he was waiting for a greater purpose. It was for the greater glory of God that Jesus would heal this man from Heaven, through Peter and John. We need to see that Jesus doesn’t have to personally be seen for his power to be at work. He heals from Heaven, and he does it through us! So, yes, Jesus likely had walked by this man at the gate before. And no, Jesus didn’t heal him when he was there, he left him waiting. Waiting but not without purpose. My sister, you are still waiting because there’s a greater purpose. There’s a bigger story. Let’s read between the lines. Just a few days before the cross, Jesus came to the temple. He helped the blind and the lame. People saw his wonderful miracles live and in person. But, scripture says they were indignant, meaning they were annoyed, irritated and angry. But now when Peter and John come to the temple a few weeks after Jesus, they heal this one man and something huge happens. Acts 4:4, “Many who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about 5,000!” Could this crippled man have been left waiting for healing because God had bigger plans to use his later healing for the saving of thousands of lives? YES!!!! And could you be left still waiting, not because God has overlooked you, but because God has bigger plans for things you can’t even imagine? YES!!!! My sister, your story is part of a bigger story. Have faith in God’s perfect timing to show up for you, then use you for his glory. Now, let’s dig even deeper. Remember, you’re getting a very long story made very short, but the Holy Spirit wants to show you more. This man was begging for money to just get through the day, and there’s no fault in that. There were no government programs to assist him. They had no special jobs for those who couldn’t walk. The only thing he could do was beg. But God can do more than make our current condition more bearable, he can radically change it! This man would have settled for a little change that day to buy his next meal, but what God had in mind was a big change so he could earn his next meal. We would all be so quick to settle for a little change to make our current conditions more bearable. But God wants to change something within you and empower you to live like you’ve never lived before. Are you up for that change? Are you up for never sitting where you’ve been stuck before? Are you up for being strengthened to show up different? Are you ready to leave behind the identity you've carried in your brokenness? Are you ready to stop living limited by what once held you down? Not everyone is ready for that, so really consider what you would do if your excuses were stripped from you and you have absolutely no viable reason why you can’t show up in life. If you’re ready for that, God’s got something for you! One more aspect of this story I feel the Holy Spirit is prompting us to see is the details of the healing. Let's read verse 7 & 8 again, “The man's feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk!” It's so interesting that the word translated “feet” only occurs in this scripture. It is never used anywhere else. It was a word used to differentiate between parts of the human heel. The word “ankle” is a medical term also found no where else in scripture. The phrase “jumped up” describes the coming suddenly into socket of something that was out of place. This is literally a medical description of what happened for this man. The power of God put what was out of place into place. What’s out of place in your life? Do you need God to suddenly put it into place? GOD CAN DO THAT!!!!!! He can take what has always been out of place in your life and put it right where it needs to be so that you can do what you’ve never been able to do before. And maybe he’s never put it into place before, but it’s not because he can’t. He knows exactly what needs to happen, and he knows precisely the right time for it to happen. Sometimes God's great purpose leads to immediate breakthrough. Sometimes it leads to endurance, deeper faith, or a testimony built over years instead of moments. But either way, your waiting is never wasted. The man at the Beautiful Gate thought he needed enough change to survive another day. But God had planned complete transformation. And maybe what feels like delay in your life is actually God preparing a moment that will reveal His power in a way you could never have imagined. Do NOT lose heart in the waiting. Heaven has not overlooked you. Jesus still sees you. And there is still more to the story.

This sermon addresses the modern difficulty of simply trusting and following established paths of faith. Through an exploration of the early church and the life of Abraham, we discover that true maturity often requires setting aside our need to uniquely innovate and instead committing to faithful imitation of proven models.Scripture ReferencesHebrews 5:11-14Hebrews 6:9-20Romans 4:20Genesis 11:31Acts 7:2-4Key PointsThe Calling of the Church: The church is called to imitate the examples of maturity and faithfulness that came before it, not to constantly reinvent the wheel.The Struggle to Follow: The author of Hebrews expresses frustration with the early church because they have become "spiritually dull and indifferent." They are still relying on basic teachings when they should be mature enough to teach others.The "But We Need Our Spin On It" Mindset: A major obstacle to maturity is the modern tendency to accept a proven truth or model but insist on customizing it or adding a personal "spin." This often weakens the effectiveness of the original truth.The Example of Abraham: Abraham is considered the father of faith, not because he was perfect, but because his faith grew stronger over time. Romans 4:20 says, "Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God."The Delay in Haran: The story of Abraham's journey to Canaan reveals a crucial point about obedience. He received the call to go to Canaan, but stopped in Haran and stayed there until his father died. His father, Terah, became a form of baggage that delayed his obedience. God often waits for us to leave our baggage behind before moving us forward.ConclusionTrue spiritual maturity involves a willingness to follow without needing to be the innovator. It requires leaving behind the "baggage" of our own preferences and cultural conditioning. Like Abraham, our faith is proven not in instant perfection, but in a lifelong journey of growing trust and increasingly radical obedience to God's calling.Calls to ActionExamine your life for areas where you are insisting on your own "spin" rather than simply obeying God's word.Identify the "baggage" or comfortable stopping points (like Haran) that might be delaying your obedience to God's calling.Commit to imitating the faithful examples of mature believers in your community.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a slow news day that gets more interesting as it goes. Tim Burchett posted a video referencing a podcast where someone asked him whether Jews have too much control in Washington, and Jon is pretty sure he knows which podcast Burchett is talking about. He watches it twice, compares it to the actual question he asked, and lands on a point that matters more than the drama: if AIPAC money runs to Congress in the tens of millions while nobody asks tough questions, that is a foreign influence problem regardless of which country it comes from. The Iran ceasefire is wobbling after the US military conducted self-defense strikes on IRGC launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is threatening retaliation, and the deal is stalled over nuclear language and sanctions. James Comey's trial just got pushed from July to October 21, with the defense planning constitutional dismissal motions in July, and Jon is not surprised. Ken Paxton and John Cornyn are finishing the most expensive senate race in history, Jon puts zero stock in Kalshi's predictions, and a new internal DOJ email story about the Mar-a-Lago raid turns out to be a probable rerun of something John Solomon wrote two years ago.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Curtis Tucker takes a hard look at what it really means to “not let the old man in.” Inspired by the famous Clint Eastwood line that became a Toby Keith song, Curtis talks about delaying old age by staying active, curious, creative, connected, and willing to keep trying new things. From walking, working out, going to concerts, learning new technology, grooming better, standing taller, and staying engaged with an audience, this episode is a reminder that getting older is automatic — but becoming old is something we can push back against every single day. #lifeover60Support the show
When God feels painfully late to show up, what are you supposed to do? When you have prayed, trusted, and stayed faithful, and the relationship still fell apart, the door still closed, the diagnosis still came, the child still kept running. This sermon walks straight into that tension and refuses to look away.Pastor Josiah opens with a question most of us are quietly carrying. How do we trust Jesus when his timing breaks our expectations? He starts with a story you have probably felt a version of, the marathon of waiting in line at Disneyland, where everyone is asking the same question. Is it worth the wait? Then he names the harder version of that question we ask in real life. What if God could just give us a timeline? What if he would say, the grief lasts eight months, the anxiety lifts in a year, the prayer gets answered Tuesday at 4:15. But that is not how faith works. God rarely gives us a timeline. Instead, he gives us himself.From there, Pastor Josiah moves into John chapter 11, the story of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. Jesus gets the message that his friend is sick, and what does he do? He waits two more days. The verse says it almost shockingly. Although Jesus loved them, he stayed where he was. Pastor Josiah unpacks three truths from this chapter that meet you exactly where you are when life feels stuck.Delay is not denial. The love of God is not always proven by the speed of his response. Sometimes it is revealed in what he is producing through the waiting. Some of God's deepest work happens in the waiting room, between the test and the results.Don't forget who he is. When Martha runs out to meet Jesus, she leads with disappointment. But Jesus responds not with a fix, he responds with his identity. I am the resurrection and the life. Faith is not built on outcomes. Faith is built on a person who is still faithful, still sovereign, still near, still good.Gratitude comes before the movement. At the tomb, with Lazarus still dead inside, Jesus thanks the Father before anything visible has changed. Anyone can worship after resurrection. Mature faith thanks God while the situation looks exactly the same.Pastor Josiah lands on the most beautiful picture of the gospel in the whole story. The only barrier between Lazarus and Jesus was a stone. The only barrier between you and God is sin, and Jesus is the one who rolls the stone away and calls dead things back to life. Then he turns to his people and says, unwrap him. The church is invited into the slow, sanctifying work of walking with people coming out of the grave with their grave clothes still on.If you have been spiritually exhausted, carrying disappointment so long that hope itself feels dangerous, this teaching from Pastor Josiah is for you.
I've been wanting to introduce you to these two for a while now.Chelsea and Emily are two of my favorite people on the planet. They're funny, they're real, they're the kind of women who walk into a room and make everyone feel like they belong. And the moment I started getting to know them, I felt like I'd known them my entire life.But what brought us here — to this couch, to this conversation — is their story. And it's one I think a lot of people need to hear.Both Chelsea and Emily were married to men. Both were navigating life inside a religious community. Both had kids. And both, later in life, discovered something about themselves that changed everything.They came out. And in doing so, they had to lose a lot — their marriages, their identities, their communities — to finally become who they actually were.Freedom isn't free. And this episode is proof of that.This is not just a story about sexuality. It's about what it costs to live honestly. It's about the loneliness of going through something no one around you seems to understand. It's about finding the people who have walked your same road. And it's about what you find on the other side of the hardest thing you've ever done.I walked away from this conversation different. More compassionate. More open. More convinced than ever that the path to real freedom almost always runs straight through the thing you're most afraid of.If you've ever had to lose something — or burn something down — to finally find yourself... this one is for you.We talk about:What it actually feels like to come out later in life — with kids, a marriage, and a whole identity on the lineHow your story can get told for you before you're readyThe loneliness of going through something no one around you has experiencedFinding your people — the ones who have walked your exact roadWhat it means to finally stop performing your lifeHow going through hard things makes you less judgmental and more humanRaising kids inside non-traditional families with love, safety, and zero shame"I reserve the right to change and evolve" — and why that's not weakness, it's growthThere's so much laughter in this episode. There's rawness. There are moments that gave me chills. And there are things these two said that I'm still thinking about.This is one of my favorites I've ever recorded. I think you're going to love them as much as I do.Welcome back to Heidi's Lane. ❤️Here are the key moments from the episode:00:00 Why This Episode Hits Different 03:14 How Four Strangers Became Inseparable 07:29 Chelsea's Obsession She Couldn't Explain 12:41 Losing Control of Your Own Coming Out Story 18:06 Navigating Divorce, Kids, and Each Other Simultaneously 23:28 Why Emily Kept Saying No to Everything 28:45 Hell Fast-Tracks You to Your Real Friends 34:03 Meeting Someone Who Has Lived Your Exact Life 38:51 The Treadmill Snub That Almost Ended It All 43:17 How Kids Handle Non-Traditional Families Better Than Adults 47:04 Creating a Home Other People's Kids Run To 51:02 The One Phrase That Changes How You Parent 55:30 The People Judging You Are Living It on Delay 59:57 The Airport Security Guard Who Pushed Too Far 01:04:33 The Space Between Reaction and Response 01:09:14 Why Heidi Is Launching a Women's Supplement Line Connect with Heidi:Website: https://heidipowell.net/Email: podcast@heidipowell.netInstagram: @realheidipowellFacebook: Heidi PowellYouTube: @RealHeidiPowellTrain with Heidi on her Show Up App: https://www.showupfit.app/Connect with Emily and Chelsea:Instagram: @em_moves14

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... The Hidden Cost of "Efficient" Leadership Most nonprofit leaders I work with want to move faster, decide cleaner, and hold the standard. From the outside, that looks responsible. From the inside, something else is usually happening. When a leader skips the relational work because it feels slow, the cost doesn't disappear. It moves. It shows up later as rework, attrition, board friction, and team members who go quiet in meetings because they have stopped expecting to be heard. The bill comes due downstream, where it is harder to trace. The truth is, the time you spend being human with your team is not extra. It is the infrastructure that makes everything else faster. Source of Insight I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I recently had a conversation about exactly this with Yerachmiel Stern, the executive director of Pesach Tikvah, and it was an important reminder to me that there are still many leaders out there who think compassion is "soft" and a "waste of time". Those leaders are missing out on the important role compassion plays in a well run, highly effective organization. The Tone You Set Is the System You Get The single most underrated piece of organizational design is the emotional state of the leader walking into the room. Not the agenda. Not the org chart. The leader's tone. When a leader walks in, regulated, warm, and present, the team's nervous system gets a signal: it's safe to think out loud here. Hard things can be named here. Mistakes can surface here without triggering self-protection. That signal is doing real operational work. It is shortening the time between a problem appearing and a problem getting solved. When a leader walks in tight, transactional, or performatively calm, the team picks that up too. People stop volunteering information. Decisions move underground. The same problems take three meetings to surface that should have taken one. In short: The leader's nervous system sets the team's nervous system. That isn't a vibe. It's a throughput metric. Information moves faster in a regulated room than a guarded one. This is why "read the room" is not a soft skill. It is a leadership requirement. Before you open your mouth in a meeting, you are already leading. The Goalposts Question One of the cleaner ways to diagnose whether a leader is operating from infrastructure or from extraction is to watch what happens when a team member brings a request that doesn't fit the existing rule. The old reflex is to point at the rule. Policy says no. Budget says no. We don't do that here. The infrastructure-minded leader asks a different question: "Is this rule still serving the outcome we actually want, or is it serving the convenience of saying no?" Sometimes the answer is genuinely no, and the leader holds the line. Often the rule was set in a different context, the request is reasonable, and the cost of saying yes is much smaller than the goodwill you lose by reflexively saying no. In short: Rules are tools, not identities. When the rule no longer serves the outcome, the rule is the problem. Saying yes when you can is a form of system maintenance. This isn't about being a pushover. It is about staying connected to why the rule existed in the first place. Hiring for the Heart, Not the Resume Conventional hiring asks: Have you done this exact job before? It optimizes for risk reduction. It also reliably under-selects for the people who would have been excellent in the role with a slightly different background. Relational hiring asks a different question: what does this person actually want to do, and is that aligned with what we need done? The shift sounds soft. It is not. It is one of the highest-leverage operational moves a CEO or executive director can make. People who are doing work that matches what they actually want to do produce more, stay longer, and require less management. People who are doing work they took because it was available produce less, leave sooner, and require constant supervision. In short: Match the heart to the role. Heart-aligned hires need less management. Heart-misaligned hires cost twice: once in their tenure, once in the rehire. You will not get this right every time. Nobody does. But shifting the question from "have you done this" to "do you want to do this" changes your hiring math permanently. (For more on the underlying skill of leading with this kind of attunement, see) The Power of Soft Skills for Nonprofit Leaders. Compassionate Release The harder version of this same principle shows up in firing. Most leaders avoid letting someone go for too long. They tell themselves they are being compassionate. The person needs the job. The team is already stretched. The performance gap isn't catastrophic. We'll give it another quarter. What is actually happening, in most of these situations, is that the person being kept in the wrong role already knows. Their nervous system knows. Their family knows. The team knows. Everyone is in a quiet, low-grade limbo that costs energy from every direction at once. When the leader finally has the conversation, the most common response isn't anger. It's relief. Sometimes spoken, sometimes not. The person was waiting to be released from a fit that was never going to work, and they were too loyal, too scared, or too tired to release themselves. I call this a compassionate release. The compassion is in the clarity, not in the delay. In short: Limbo is more painful than a clean ending. Delay is a form of harm dressed up as kindness. Compassionate release ends the cost on both sides. Holding someone in a misfit role isn't generosity. It's a tax everyone is paying, and the longest-paying account is the person you think you're protecting. The Ford and the Cadillac There is a version of nonprofit leadership that aims for "good enough." The reasoning sounds responsible. We don't have unlimited resources. We can't deliver gold-standard service to every client. We have to triage. We have to be realistic. This framing adds risk. The math isn't wrong. The framing is. It confuses two different things: what you can deliver structurally, and how you deliver what you have. Two organizations can offer the exact same baseline service, and one will feel like an extraordinary experience and the other will feel like a transaction. The difference isn't the budget. The difference is the personal touch wrapped around the delivery. One line from my conversation with Yerachmiel stayed with me: "If you give the clients that personal touch, the Ford could be better than the Cadillac." What I appreciate about this framing is that it explains the mechanism. The personal touch is what converts a service into a relationship. The relationship is what produces retention, referrals, advocacy, and the willingness to come back when things get hard. None of that requires more money. All of it requires presence. I had this experience recently in an emergency room. The equipment was advanced. The diagnostics were thorough. The most meaningful 30 seconds of the entire visit was a staff member taking a breath, asking how I was doing, and telling me my chair could recline. He delivered the most excellent service of the visit, and it cost him nothing. That is the Ford becoming the Cadillac. The structure didn't change. The presence did. When Going Slow Is Going Fast The hardest piece of this for high-performing leaders to internalize is that the relational work, which feels slow, is what creates the speed. I learned this with my own son, who is on the autism spectrum and has ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and anxiety. The clinicians who took an extra five minutes to let him regulate consistently finished on time. The clinicians who tried to muscle through and just hold him still consistently turned a 30-minute appointment into a two-hour event. Sometimes the visit had to be rescheduled at a different office entirely. The "fast" approach was the slowest approach. The "slow" approach was actually the fastest one. The math is unambiguous once you start counting all the hours, not just the visible ones. In short: The relational time isn't extra. It's structural. Skipping it doesn't save time. It moves the cost. Going slow at the start is what produces speed at the finish. This same pattern shows up everywhere a nonprofit leader operates. With board members. With staff. With donors. With clients. The minutes you invest in being a person before you are a transaction are the minutes that compound. Humility Is a Confidence Move There is an older model of leadership that equates confidence with never apologizing, never being wrong, and never being visibly uncertain. It's still around, and it's slowly being retired for a good reason. Confidence in a leadership role isn't the absence of mistakes. It is the willingness to absorb the final responsibility for the outcome, mistakes included. When the team trusts that the leader will carry the weight at the macro level, the leader is then free to be humble and openly learn at the everyday level. That doesn't subtract from authority. It deepens it. People follow humans, not personas. (For more on this, see The Power of Vulnerability with Becca Pearce.) What This Makes Possible When compassion is treated as infrastructure rather than personality, a few things shift. What shifts: Meetings get shorter because information surfaces faster. Hiring gets cleaner because you're matching hearts to roles, not resumes to slots. Firing gets kinder because delay stops getting confused with mercy. Service quality goes up without the budget going up. The leader stops carrying the team's nervous system as a second job. None of this is about being softer. It is about understanding what creates throughput in a human system, and building for it on purpose. It's Work That Compounds… and we like that This isn't about doing less work. It's about doing work that compounds. Nonprofits can run on compassion and run on time. They can hold high standards and hold their people. They can deliver excellent service without spending more. Not by pushing harder, but by building systems that treat human connection as the structural asset it actually is.

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Jordan Jewkes, founder and managing attorney of the Jewkes Firm in South Atlanta, Georgia. Jordan spent the early years of his legal career on the inside — working for some of the largest insurance companies in the world, sitting in strategy meetings, and learning exactly how insurers think, operate, and minimize claims. Then his moral compass pointed him in a different direction. Now he uses everything he learned against them. We get into the three Ds — deny, defend, delay — and the fourth D nobody talks about. We talk about what happens when a jury of 12 people in a conservative Georgia county listens to a human story and delivers a $1.9 million verdict. We talk about why most injured clients don't want to litigate — they want to be heard. And Jordan shares why his mom says his superpower is being kind to people, and why that's turned out to be the most powerful tool in his courtroom.

In this conversation, she and Dr. Gray unpack the premed rat race—the pressure to pack 15 activities, the guilt of cutting hobbies, and the lie that every minute not studying sets you back. Vanessa candidly shares applying twice, including a COVID-canceled MCAT that delayed her first cycle, the external nudge to pause, and the growth and humility that made her ultimately ready to be accepted. She explains how interviews gravitated to her writing, why her second personal statement focused on who she is rather than everything she did, and how she now balances med school with novel deadlines—treating writing as both catharsis and a job, while preparing for Step 2. Along the way: apocalypse-proof humor, a reframe of rest as part of training, and a clear message to premeds and medical students alike—keep the passions that make you human. Because people, not checklists, become doctors.What You'll Learn:- How campus EMT and suicide hotline roles shaped a patient-first “why medicine”- What changed between a late, COVID-impacted first cycle and a successful reapplication- Why focusing your personal statement on who you are can resonate more than listing activities- Practical ways to protect hobbies in premed and med school without burning out- How interviews may lean into your authentic passions—even more than your hours

Chris’s Summary: Jim and I discuss a listener’s strategy for funding the delay period in this dialog show. A 59-year-old chemical engineer shares his plan to transition from 100% equities by purchasing TIPS only when his portfolio reaches new market highs. We cover his Social Security claiming strategy, concerns about CPI-based inflation adjustments relative to Minimum Dignity Floor expenses, and the potential role of a QLAC for late-in-life secure income. Jim’s “Pithy” Summary: Chris and I dig into a listener’s email in this dialog show, examining the retirement strategy of a self-described Vanguardian and chemical engineer who is three years out from retirement. His approach is built around what he calls “pedal to the metal” accumulation – 100% equities for his working years – and now he is figuring out how to transition his assets to a decumulation model. The centerpiece of his plan is a TIPS ladder covering his eight-year delay period, funded by selling from his all-stock portfolio only when it reaches a new market high. Most of his rungs are already purchased, and the approach has worked – the market has been kind. But Chris and I both flag the same concern: it works until it doesn’t. If markets go sideways or drop and stay there, he could find himself heading straight into sequence of returns risk without the rungs he needs, still waiting on new highs that may not come. Beyond those mechanics, we get into some of the things he may be underweighting. The five expense categories that anchor his retirement spending — food, utilities, transportation, housing, and health care — tend to rise faster than headline CPI, which is what TIPS are tied to. His year-over-year projections are clean and consistent, but real-world spending in those categories is variable, not a steady march. We also touch on his Social Security claiming plan and his note that he still needs to fine-tune his Fun Number once that funding is complete. The episode wraps with his mention of QLACs for late-in-life secure income – something Chris and I agree can make sense, and buying sooner rather than later may give more income dollar for dollar given how deferral and mortality credits compound inside these contracts.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with three major crime stories, including a deadly shooting at a San Diego mosque with past ties to 9/11 figures, new FBI confirmation that an Austin terror attack was motivated by support for Iran's Islamist regime, and a Texas crime spree that reignites the debate over AI-powered Flock surveillance cameras. He also breaks down President Trump's new $1.7 billion fund for victims of the Biden-Harris administration, warning that while the compensation may be justified, Democrats could use the same precedent in the future to reward their own political supporters. Bryan then turns to Iran, where Trump is holding off on renewed bombing at the request of Arab leaders even as the naval blockade continues to choke off Tehran's oil revenue. Plus, Bryan covers rising diesel costs hitting school districts, reports that Cuba may be stockpiling attack drones with possible Iranian support, and growing tensions with European leaders in Germany, Austria, and the UK over immigration, Islamism, and America's role in the world. He closes with medical news from Japan on how plastic chemicals like BPA may harm male fertility, and how para-probiotics could one day help protect sperm health.

Retiring at 60 feels like a clean plan. Work ends, savings take over, and Social Security fills the gap later. What most people do not realize is that decision has already changed their benefit.In this episode, James walks through what actually happens to your Social Security when you retire at 60, even if you do not claim benefits right away. The calculation is based on your 35 highest earning years, and if you stop working early without a full earnings history, zeros can quietly reduce your future benefit.From there, the decision becomes a series of tradeoffs. Claim early and accept a permanently reduced benefit. Delay and increase guaranteed income for life. Retire early and rely more heavily on your portfolio in the years before benefits begin. None of these choices exist in isolation.James explains why Social Security should never be viewed as a standalone decision. It impacts how much you withdraw from your portfolio, how long your investments compound, and how income is structured later in retirement. In some cases, claiming earlier can preserve more of your portfolio. In others, delaying creates stronger long term protection.For those who are married, the stakes are even higher. Spousal and survivor benefits introduce another layer of planning that can significantly affect total lifetime income and the financial security of the surviving partner.The key is not finding a universal “best age” to claim. It is understanding how timing fits into your overall plan. When you see how earnings history, withdrawal strategy, and longevity all interact, the decision becomes far more intentional.The takeaway is simple. Retiring at 60 is not just a lifestyle choice. It is a financial decision that shapes your income for decades.--Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Jim and Chris discuss listener emails on the SSA-44 and IRMAA process for a couple approaching Medicare, Social Security survivor benefit strategy, tax diversification for young investors, HSA vs. IRA prioritization and spending strategy during the delay period, and inherited IRA RMD rules for non-eligible beneficiaries. (15:30) A listener approaching Medicare asks how the SSA-44 process applies when one spouse is retiring while the other continues to work, and whether their planned Roth conversions could complicate the IRMAA appeal filing. (33:15) Georgette wonders whether she can start her own Social Security at 67, switch to a lower survivor benefit if her husband passes, and then return to her own larger benefit at 70. (41:00) The guys hear from a parent helping his adult children decide whether to convert their traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs or preserve a mix of account types for tax diversification in retirement. (57:45) Jim and Chris address two questions: (1) whether HSA contributions should be prioritized over IRA contributions for retirement savings, and (2) how to bridge a cash flow gap when brokerage funds run out during the delay period without undermining ongoing Roth conversions. (1:26:15) A listener asks whether a non-eligible beneficiary who inherits a traditional IRA before the decedent’s required beginning date must still take RMDs, given that the decedent had already taken one RMD in the year they turned 73.

She shares her journey with intermittent fasting, highlighting the challenges and triumphs she has experienced along the way. She discusses her lifelong struggle with weight and body image, which began in her teenage years. Despite maintaining a healthy weight, she often felt the pressure to stay thin, leading to cycles of bingeing and restricting. Her introduction to intermittent fasting came as a relief, offering a sustainable way to manage her weight without the constant stress of dieting. Christina emphasizes the importance of finding a balance that works for her lifestyle, incorporating activities she loves, like golf and tennis, into her routine.As the conversation wraps up, Christina offers valuable advice to those new to intermittent fasting. She stresses the importance of starting slow and gradually reducing the eating window, rather than diving in too quickly, as she initially did. Christina also highlights the significance of community support, encouraging new intermittent fasters to engage with supportive groups that promote clean fasting practices. Her final piece of advice is to embrace the journey, acknowledging that while some days may be challenging, the benefits of intermittent fasting far outweigh the difficulties.
