In this episode of 'The Summer of Me', Kendra discusses the societal pressures and guilt women often feel about wanting more in life beyond motherhood. She emphasizes that wanting more—whether it be in terms of career, personal growth, or self-identity—is not only acceptable but necessary for a fulfilling life. Kendra shares her personal experiences and insights on balancing motherhood with ambition, the importance of setting boundaries, and the generational guilt that often holds women back. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to embrace their desires for more and to model this expansion for future generations.   takeaways Wanting more is not a dirty word. Women often feel guilty for wanting more in life. Balancing motherhood and personal ambitions is possible. Self-identity should not be solely defined by motherhood. Generational guilt affects women's ambitions. Settling for less leads to resentment. Guilt keeps women small and exhausted. Wanting more does not mean being ungrateful. Role modeling expansion is crucial for children. Embrace your desire for more, even if it's inconvenient.

Think introverts can't sell? Think again. Being the loudest in the room has never been the secret to great sales - being the most attuned to the person you're talking to is. In this solo episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I'm breaking down why introverts are often the best people to crush it in sales - even if they've been told otherwise.  If you've ever felt “bad at small talk”, too awkward, or too drained after conversations to be “good at sales,” this one is for you. You'll find out why some of the top performing reps on corporate teams where I worked I were the soft-spoken ones - and how their lowkey style built more trust, faster. Listen in to discover: ✔️ Why being drained by people doesn't mean you're bad at sales - it's a clue to your secret sauce ✔️ The natural superpowers introverts bring to sales (empathy, curiosity, pattern-interrupt energy) ✔️What to do with those non verbal cues you're always picking up on ✔️ How to go deeper in sales conversations without feeling like you're forcing it ✔️ Why introverts often overestimate how bad a call went - and how to fix that ✔️ How to make a sales conversation feel effortless instead of exhausting (hint: structure is your best friend)

Neil dives into the essential role of marketing for anyone looking to start or grow their tutoring, teaching, or coaching business. Drawing from a recent conversation with a friend contemplating entrepreneurship as an electrician, Neil emphasises that operations can only begin once you have customers, making marketing the crucial first step. He addresses the common discomfort many feel about self-promotion, encouraging listeners to overcome their fears and recognise that marketing is not a dirty word, but rather a vital means of connecting with those who need their unique skills and insights. With a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, Neil inspires his audience to step out of their comfort zones, share their expertise, and ultimately serve their communities better. KEY TAKEAWAYS Marketing is Essential: Before any operations can take place in a business, marketing must happen first. It's crucial to let potential customers know you exist, as without awareness, your skills and services cannot be utilised. Overcoming Discomfort: Many people feel uncomfortable promoting themselves due to fears of being perceived as arrogant. However, embracing this discomfort is necessary to connect with those who need your help and to avoid remaining invisible in your field. Understanding Your Tribe: Identify and engage with your "tribe"—the people who need your unique skills and insights. By showing up for them and sharing your expertise, you can make a significant impact on their lives. The Value of Your Work: Recognise that the money you earn is a reward for the value you provide. If you enjoy your work and help others, it's not only acceptable but essential to market yourself and your services. Consistency is Key: Regularly communicate what you do and how you can help others. Make it a habit to promote your services daily, whether through social media, ads, or personal outreach, to ensure that those who need your help can find you. BEST MOMENTS "Marketing is what happens first. Always. There's no point in being a reliable and excellent electrician if nobody knows you exist." "If you're too cowardly to trust in your own skills and your own integrity, what will the next 10 years be like for you?" "The money is the silent reward for a job well done." "If marketing yourself and your business makes you uncomfortable, you have a choice. You can cower in the face of that discomfort, or step up." "For heaven's sake, go out and tell someone what you do today, and then do it again tomorrow."

Is the relationship between Islam and science as well-developed as it is in Christianity? Not even close—but that's changing. In this episode, Dr. Shoaib Ahmed Malik, Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh, joins Dru Johnson to share the emerging field of Islam and science, focusing on the hot topic of evolution. Shoaib unpacks the historical development of Islamic engagement with science, tracing it from early encounters with Western scientific frameworks to the present. He explains why the Islamic world lacks infrastructure like textbooks, academic chairs, and journals for the science-religion conversation—and why that's finally beginning to change. But what about evolution? Shoaib shares why it remains a highly sensitive subject in Muslim-majority countries (including stories of professors losing jobs over it) and how Muslim views differ from Christian ones, especially around original sin, Adam, and human suffering. This is an honest, fascinating look at how Muslims are navigating modern science, why cultural and religious taboos persist, and how Shoaib's work is shaping new conversations at the intersection of Islamic theology and science.

There are still plenty of sales to be made.  In this solo episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I'm talking about how to actually increase your conversions during uncertain times by strategically positioning what you sell.  This isn't about hype or fake urgency - it's about clarity, confidence, and helping people invest in what they truly need - especially in times of economic uncertainty!  Listen in to discover:   ✔️ Why money is still being spent (so it might as well be spent with you) ✔️ How to position your service as essential - even if you're scared it's optional ✔️Examples of proactively offsetting prospect's fears, budget concerns or hesitations due to economic uncertainty  ✔️ How to avoid selling yourself out of your own offer

Sick of feeling like scaling means selling out? Growing your business shouldn't come with a side of chaos and compromise - but that's exactly where so many founders get stuck. What if building a dream team and creating sustainable systems could feel just as aligned as your mission? In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I sit down with Jessika Phillips - founder of NOW Marketing Group and queen of relationship marketing - to talk about how she built a 7-figure agency rooted in authenticity, community, and heart. From getting laid off while pregnant to leading a 12-person team with full benefits (and full buy-in), Jessika shares the behind-the-scenes growing pains most people won't admit. You'll learn: ✔️ Why your team (and clients) don't stick around just for money - and what they actually want ✔️ The subtle signals you've outgrown a client (and how to break up without the drama) ✔️ How to avoid hiring disasters by asking the right questions up front ✔️ What collaborative role design looks like - and why it leads to longer retention ✔️ How building culture early saves your sanity later (hint: don't skip the manifesto)

Let's be real - most prospects don't know what they actually need. They come in hot asking for “everything,” on a budget built for... maybe one thing. And too often, service providers stretch themselves thin trying to deliver it all - hello, burnout and resentment. In this solo episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I break down how to guide your clients toward the right packages without lowering your prices, people-pleasing, or packing your offers with stuff you secretly hate doing. This one's especially for my marketing agency friends, but applies to any service-based business that wants to sell smarter. You'll learn: ✔️ Why giving clients exactly what they ask for usually backfires ✔️ How to position bundled offers that feel like a win-win ✔️ The art of redirecting scope creep into aligned packages ✔️ Simple ways to show value without industry jargon ✔️ Why your confidence is the most magnetic part of the sale

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 457. I had been meaning to talk to my old friend Sheldon Richman, of the Libertarian Institute and TGIF column, about his own IP Odyssey, as he's always been great on this issue, (( My IP Odyssey; as quoted in “Your failed business model is not my problem”; Sheldon Richman, “Patent Nonsense," IP Debate Breaks Out at FEE. Others, e.g. Richman, The Articles of Confederation Versus the Constitution. )) and many others. At the same time I had been talking to André Simoni of Brazil about some questions he had about applying my/Rothbard's title-transfer contract theory to some questions he had about interest payments on student loans and other contracts, usury, and so on. I had thought of talking to André and Sheldon separately but decided to combine them, partly because I confused André's topic with a discussion I had also been having at the same time with Galambosian Brian Gladish about IP and Galambos. (( On Galambos, see the following. On Gladish, see the next note. Galambos and Other Nuts; The Galambosians strike back; “Around this time I met the Galambosian.”; Was Galambos an IP Thief?; Galambos the Crank; Shades of Galambos: Man tries to copyright his name; Rothbard and Galambosians. )) Libertopia, San Diego, Oct. 11, 2012: Anthony Gregory, Kinsella, Roderick Long, Sheldon Richman.

(I may talk to Gladish later about Galambos and IP.) (( Gladish on Galambos at ASC; his comments at: Have You Changed Your Mind About Intellectual Property?; Galambos and Other Nuts; Mises on Intellectual Property; Why Objectivists Hate Anarchy (Hint: IP). )) We touched on a number of topics; see the summary of our discussion points by Grok, below. https://youtu.be/7vrIz8cv2Bw Of relevance: Stephan Kinsella, “The Title-Transfer Theory of Contract,” Papinian Press Working Paper #1 (Sep. 7, 2024) Napolitano on Health-Care Reform and the Constitution: Is the Commerce Clause Really Limited?  and On Constitutional Sentimentalism (re Richman's point about the interstate commerce clause); see also his comments about federal tax power in Randy Barnett's “Federalism Amendment”–A Counterproposal; and related posts The Walmart Question, or, the Unsupported Assertions of Left-Libertarianism Ep. 382 Sheldon Richman Says Corporate Isn't a Dirty Word, Bob Murphy Show Four questions for “anti-capitalist” libertarians (Carpio)/Is Capitalism Something Good?

Many times your first sales meeting is NOT with the decision maker or CEO at a company.  That means your sales strategy needs to be different in that initial meeting in order to get the final meeting with the REAL decision maker.  In this solo episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I reveal why winning over internal stakeholders - like a CMO, Ops Lead, or HR Director - is the key to closing the deal. If you want a powerful internal champion that makes the CEO say yes, you've got to address the unique pressures and metrics of the person right in front of you. You must uncover each stakeholder's biggest pain points, demonstrate genuine empathy for their day-to-day challenges, and empower them with everything they need to pitch your solution up the chain.  Once you become a TEAM with your internal advocate, they will fight to internally sell you over any other solution or competitor. Listen in to Discover:  ✔️ Why simply focusing on overall company revenue won't help you: A CMO's or Ops Director's success is measured differently and you must find out what that i! ✔️ How to turn an internal stakeholder into your champion: Show them you'll make their work easier and their results stronger. ✔️ Key discovery questions that reveal specific challenges an internal team faces - so you can tailor your pitch to their daily reality. ✔️ The right way to bridge the gap to the CEO: Collaborate with your internal ally to secure buy-in from the top. ✔️ Practical tips for dealing with departmental turf wars, budgeting concerns, and multi-layered decision-making processes.

In a culture that often glorifies hustle, self-sacrifice, and productivity over joy, ease, and indulgence, pleasure has been unfairly stigmatized. It is often labeled as frivolous, self-indulgent, or even shameful. But here's the truth: pleasure is not a distraction—it's a necessity.Pleasure is a fundamental part of a balanced and fulfilling life. Reclaiming pleasure as a positive force allows us to reconnect with our senses, nurture our well-being, and experience life more fully.As women, we've been conditioned to believe that pleasure is something we must earn—a rare indulgence reserved for when we've worked hard enough, proven ourselves enough, or been “good” enough. But pleasure isn't a reward—it's your birthright. And reclaiming it is the key to living fully, authentically, and unapologetically.

Do you need to quit your job to start a business? Nope. In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I talk with Delaney Thompson, co-founder of Bahia AI, about how she built a successful company before leaving her 9-to-5.

If you've been holding back on starting your own thing because you're not sure where to start, this episode will give you the roadmap. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ How to test a business idea before taking a big financial risk ✅ The smartest way to sell your offer—even if you don't have a product yet ✅ Why rejection in sales (and business) isn't personal—and how to handle it ✅ The hiring mistakes companies make (and how AI is changing the game) ✅ Why women crush it in sales and how to use that to your advantage

(Deuteronomy 32:2) Doctrine is not for professional theologians and academic minds. It is simply our beliefs and teachings, taken directly from the Word of God. Study the Scriptures and settle what you believe from the Bible. (0939250212) ----more----  God's Doctrine and Our Opinions Libraries and bookstores are absolutely filled with men's opinions. Radio, television, talk news, all of it, totally filled with everybody's ideas about what they think is right. But I wonder How often we stop to say, what does God think? Did you know that God's thoughts are revealed in His Word? And if you want to know what God thinks about something, then ask yourself this question, what does the Bible say? The Importance of Doctrine We're beginning this series of what the Bible says. And I've started here by just laying a little foundation about the importance of what we call doctrine. That's a word that some people stay away from today. Let me just tell you, doctrine is not a dirty word. Not at all. In fact, it's God's word. Biblical References to Doctrine Did you know that the word doctrine is found 51 times in 50 verses of your Bible? Let me show you a couple of them today. You may want to get a good concordance and look them all up for yourself and walk through them and meditate on them. I've done that. And it's a rich, refreshing way to study that Bible word. But let me show you the first one. The first one is Deuteronomy chapter 32 and verse number 2. Now remember, the first time a word is used in the Word of God, it has great significance. It's the law of first mention. Because the first time it's given, it really gives a pattern to follow. It gives an opening truth, if you will, that the Lord will consistently go back to. Doctrine as Refreshing Rain In Deuteronomy 32, we read these words, "My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass." There are two or three things that really strike me even as I read that verse. One is, that God connects doctrine to rain. We think of doctrine as being some really heavy thing. But I want to say to you, really, God says, my doctrine is refreshing. My doctrine is a blessing to you. It drops down as the rain, it distills as the dew. Think of the gentleness of dew and then not only what it is as it comes down, but what it produces, it brings about the tender herb. It brings showers upon the grass. I believe that every good thing that grows in our life grows out of the truth. And until we understand the importance of doctrine, we will never become the people that God wants us to be. Now that's Deuteronomy 32 too. Let me read the verse before it and the verse after it. Verse 1 of Deuteronomy 32 says, "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak. And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distill as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender herb, And as the showers upon the grass, Because I will publish the name of the Lord. Ascribe ye greatness unto our God."  Doctrine and Worship The very first time the word doctrine is used in scripture, it is connected to worship. We don't study to know. We study to worship. We don't study to simply have facts. We study to know the God of truth. We come to Bible doctrine and we say, Dear Lord, we want to know you better. We want to know what you have to say to us. Oh God, speak to us and show us yourself. That's the great message of Deuteronomy chapter 32, and that's the great purpose of doctrine.  False Teachings and Doctrines The last mention of the word doctrine is found in Revelation 2, in the church age, in the letters to the seven churches, and it says in Revelation 2 24, But I say unto you and unto the rest in Thyatira, As many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan as they speak, I will put upon you none other burden. So here we have the exact opposite. Here we have. A reference to false teaching. There's always going to be truth and error. There's always going to be this battle this warfare between the God of truth and the old liar, the deceiver, the serpent, the devil. Always. That's what we're watching in our world today. That's what's going on on school campuses. That's what's going on in the news. That's what's going on In government, there's always this conflict and struggle between what is true and what is not. And in the end, we must go back to this, what does the Bible say? I said to you that the word doctrine is found 51 times in Scripture, but the plural word, doctrines, is used 5 times. And did you know that the 5 times it's used in the New Testament, it is always in the negative. It's never a reference to truth. It's always a reference to error. Now, that's very significant. For example, Matthew 15:9 Jesus says, "In vain they do worship me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Or how about Hebrews 13:9, "Be not carried away with divers and strange doctrines, for it's a good thing that the heart be established with grace, not with meats which have not profited them that have been occupied therein." God reserves the plural for men's ideas But he reserves the singular for his own truth. Why is that? Because men have lots of disconnected ideas. They teach lots of varied things and call them truth. But God has one body of truth and it's all connected. And it's all important. I have the Bible in my hand right now. The Word of God. Friend, I need it all. I don't need part of it. I need every bit of it. I don't want to fall short of Scripture. And I don't want to go beyond Scripture. I just want to know what the Bible is.  The Myths About Doctrine Now there are basically two great myths when it comes to doctrine. I've heard both of them and so have you. Number one, some people say we stay away from doctrine because doctrine is divisive. As a matter of fact, I hear even some churches advertise, Come to our church. We don't talk about doctrine. We talk about real life things. I think, excuse me, that's a very ignorant thing to say. Because the word doctrine literally means our beliefs and teachings. So what those people are saying is, Come to our church. We don't believe or teach anything. Why would you go to a church that doesn't believe or teach anything? No, doctrine is real life. It's truth that is to be applied to the way we live every day. Doctrine is not divisive. It simply divides truth from error. It does divide. Oh yes, it divides believers from unbelievers. It divides the obedient from the disobedient. It divides the humble from the proud. It does divide, but it is not divisive. In other words, The truth is not what stirs up the problem. What stirs up problems are the responses of people to the truth. It's not loving to say everything goes. Anything and everything can be truth. Love always has to measure up to the truth. The God of love is a God of truth. So the first great myth is that doctrine is divisive. I say to you that doctrine comes from a God of unity and our hearts are only made one. And our minds are only singularly fixed on what is right when we come in line with what the Bible says. The second myth is this. Doctrine is dry. I hear that from time to time. People say, people can't handle all this doctrinal teaching. I even hear people brag sometimes. I'm no theologian. You should be. Theology is the study of God. You should be a real student of God. Doctrine is not dry. The speaker may be dry, I've been dry, and you've been dry, but the Word of God is perennially fresh. And as we study the Word of God, we should do it with enthusiasm. And when we share it with others, we should do it with a spirit of We're at excitement that we have the truth of God and we have the joy and privilege of sharing it with other people. A Call to Study Doctrine All men have some truth, the truth of creation and of conscience, but all of them don't receive it alike. And see, it's how you respond to the truth that's important. We're not searching for the truth, we're searching in it. We've come to find out what the Bible says. So we can bring our lives in line with it, and we can pass it along to someone else. Outro Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our library of Bible teaching resources, including book by book studies of Scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content, and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening, and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.
