I sat down with Cary Katz, the man who quietly built the modern stage of poker. He's the founder of PokerGO, the one who brought us the Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, US Poker Open, and yes, even the Big Blind Ante. What fascinates me isn't just his $40M+ in tournament winnings, but his mindset: the shift from frustration to gratitude, from creating a prison with losses to celebrating them. Cary opens up about business risks, how passion projects cost more than you expect, and why he thinks integrity is the only real strategy in life.We also got into health, longevity, and some personal truths: how it took him 55 years to quit sugar, why lifting weights is a cheat code against the “four horsemen,” and how he views the next 30 years of his life as a freeroll. From billion-dollar loans to billions of minutes of poker watched, Cary's story isn't just about poker, it's about building, adapting, and finding perspective through the swings. He also finally lays out who he thinks are poker's true icons...

All this week we're looking at some four-hundred year old guidance and advice from the Puritan writer, Thomas Brooks. Specifically, Brooks has listed five remedies to the enemy of the soul's  strategy to get us to see following Jesus as a dangerous, losing, and suffering-filled way of life. Brooks offers great insights for us to share with our kids as they face opposition in this world. Today, Brooks tells us to consider that we gain more in our service of God and by following God as we face troubles and afflictions, than we can ever possibly lose by following God. Jesus said it this way: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet forfeit their soul?” Thomas Brooks uses the metaphor of money when he says that for every penny a Christian might lose in the service of God, he in turn will gain a dollar. Our light afflictions will result in the weight of glory. Life as a follower of Christ in today's culture is difficult. Still, it is the path to flourishing now and for eternity!

US equity-index futures and shares of Nvidia retreated after the chipmaker's sales outlook missed lofty expectations, weighing on sentiment around the world's most valuable listed company. Nvidia said Wednesday that sales will be roughly $54 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which runs through October. Though that was in line with the average Wall Street estimate, some analysts had projected more than $60 billion. The outlook adds to concern that the pace of investment in AI systems is unsustainable. Difficulties in China also have clouded Nvidia's business. Though the Trump administration recently eased curbs on exports of some AI chips to that country, the reprieve hasn't yet translated into a rebound in revenue. We get reaction from David Waddell, CEO and Chief Investment Strategist at Waddell & Associates.Meantime, Bloomberg Opinion's Shuli Ren says a new China-buys-China narrative is taking shape as Beijing steps up its tech rivalry with the US. In her latest column, she writes that the world's second-largest economy not only wants to build generative AI models, but power them with its own hardware, redrawing a supply chain dominated by Nvidia. Shuli joins Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the last 24 hours, I've personally experienced a difficult situation, and it has made me reflect deeply on how to handle being left out. I'm currently taking a course, and despite putting myself forward and trying to connect with others, I was left out of a group conversation and activity. In this video I speak openly about what happened, how it impacted me emotionally, and how I initially reacted in the moment. If you're searching for advice on how to handle being left out, I completely understand how isolated and lonely it can feel. That is exactly why I decided to record this video – so you get a genuine first-person account of what being left out feels like and what to do when it happens. I begin by explaining the importance of acknowledging your feelings rather than suppressing them. I then share the practical steps I'm taking to stay grounded, such as focusing on my breathing, reminding myself of my self-worth, and reflecting on past experiences where I handled similar issues positively. You will also hear me talk about going back into the exact same situation again, but this time with a stronger mindset and belief in myself. Rather than avoiding the people who left me out, I am walking in with my shoulders back and my head held high. This video offers clear tips on how to handle being left out while staying self-confident and emotionally balanced. Whether it happens at work, on a course, or in your personal life, this is a skill worth learning. Watch until the end to learn how to take back your power and feel confident even when other people choose not to include you.

Paul ends his letter like he started it, by telling the church, “May the God of grace give you peace...at all times...in every situation. The church at Thessalonica has gone through severe persecution since it started and they have lost loved ones because of it. They have to wonder what is coming next...Will they make it through the next day? Will they make it through the night? Are they going to get beaten before they get home from work or while they are out shopping? We may not be undergoing persecution like the church at Thessalonica, but we all face something in life that is difficult. As we do, our prayer is the same as Paul's...may the God of grace give you peace at all times, in every situation.

Send us a textWhat happens when a police sergeant and a therapist build a life together? Dustin and Ashley Wright open up about their 13-year journey as a first responder couple in this vulnerable and insightful conversation that challenges conventional thinking about trauma, communication, and resilience.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Dustin shares how a seemingly routine cardiac arrest call triggered a trauma response that affected his intimate relationship with Ashley. This powerful revelation highlights how personal associations can make any incident potentially traumatic for first responders, regardless of its apparent severity. Even more surprising is Ashley's admission that despite her clinical training, she missed the signs of her husband's struggle – demonstrating how skilled first responders can become at compartmentalizing their experiences.Together, they unpack practical communication strategies that have helped them navigate the unique challenges of first responder life. From establishing code words for difficult days to creating intentional decompression time, the Wrights offer actionable insights for couples facing similar struggles. They emphasize building communication habits during normal times that create pathways for vulnerable conversation when crises occur.The discussion expands beyond their marriage to explore how community support and spiritual practice form essential pillars of their resilience strategy. Dustin describes his involvement with BRAVE (Building Relationships Among Veterans and Emergency Responders), while Ashley highlights her network of first responder spouses who provide understanding and encouragement. Their message is clear: no one builds resilience alone.Whether you're a first responder, the partner of one, or simply interested in strengthening your relationship through difficult times, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and emotional reassurance. The Wrights' willingness to share their personal journey provides a powerful testament to the possibility of thriving, not just surviving, as a first responder family.

Send us a textWhat happens when a first responder walks into a therapist's office and shares a traumatic experience so dark that the therapist needs "a few minutes" before responding? For most first responders, this confirms their worst fear: no one can handle their reality. That's why cultural competency isn't just helpful—it's essential.In this powerful conversation with the founding members of "Behind the Badge and Beyond," we explore the critical importance of specialized mental health care for those who serve our communities. Lisa Knowles, Richard Winning, Erin Sheridan, Alexa Silva, Jennifer Waldron, and host Steve Bisson bring decades of combined experience working with police officers, firefighters, EMTs, correctional officers, and military personnel.The group unpacks what makes first responder therapy uniquely challenging—like the profound emotional numbing that protects on the job but destroys relationships at home, the grief that gets misinterpreted as burnout, and the resistance to vulnerability that requires extraordinary patience from clinicians. They share stories of connecting with clients through dark humor, specialized knowledge, and authentic relationship-building that creates safety for those who protect us daily.Whether you're a first responder seeking help, a family member trying to understand, or a clinician wanting to better serve this population, this conversation offers invaluable insights into creating genuine healing spaces for those who witness trauma daily. The message is clear: first responders deserve therapists who speak their language, understand their culture, and can sit comfortably with their darkest experiences without flinching.Ready to find a culturally competent therapist or learn more about specialized mental health support for first responders?

Do you ever feel like you're not praying “the right way”? You're not alone.   Even the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In this week's ALIVE reflection for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Luke 11:1–13), Fr. Jonathan Meyer explores the timeless longing to grow in prayer — and the very real struggles that come with it.   Whether you're new to prayer, stuck in a rut, or yearning for deeper intimacy with God, this reflection will remind you that the struggle is part of the journey — and Jesus welcomes it.

Hardship is part of this life. It comes to those who know Christ and to those who do not. Difficulties do not favor one person over another, even though it may look like that sometimes. Because of Christ in us, we have the glorious opportunity to look at seasons of suffering through a different lens. - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotionalYour Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
