In the last episode, I discussed seven mistakes to avoid when filing your 2025 taxes. So in this episode, I'm going to discuss the tax-filing mistakes people can make when filing an extension. Here are the four most common extension errors that could cost you money, including misconceptions about payment deadlines, underestimating taxes, and the importance of understanding state-specific extension rules. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Mistakes that people can make if they're filing an extension [01:41] Importance of filing for an extension by the tax deadline [02:35] Distinction between failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties [03:53] Suggestions for estimating: using last year's tax return, factoring in income changes, or major events [06:09] Importance of reviewing and complying with state-specific deadlines and requirements [08:21] Filing an extension buys time for accuracy but doesn't delay payment obligations Avoiding Common Tax Extension Mistakes Tax season is a stressful time for many, and for those with complex finances, business obligations, or unexpected circumstances, filing a tax extension may seem like a wise solution. These are the four biggest mistakes people make when filing a tax extension, along with my practical tips to avoid penalties and unnecessary stress. Notifying the IRS The first—and perhaps most critical—mistake is assuming that wanting more time is enough. Extensions aren't automatic; they require formally notifying the IRS by filing Form 4868 by the standard tax deadline, usually April 15th. Without this key step, the IRS will consider your return late, resulting in penalties. If nothing else, mark this on your tax checklist: file Form 4868 on time, every time. Extension to File Isn't Extension to Pay A widespread misconception is that an extension grants extra time to pay taxes due. Only your paperwork deadline shifts, your payment due date does not. Any unpaid federal taxes accrue interest from the original deadline, and failure-to-pay penalties start after April 15th. In fact, failing to file entirely triggers even steeper penalties. Estimate your tax liability and pay what you owe, even if you're still finalizing the details. Overestimating is safer, as any excess will be refunded after you fill it in. The Hidden Danger of Inaccurate Estimates Filing an extension isn't a hall pass to put off financial reckoning. You're still required to estimate how much you owe—a process that can trip up those who experienced income changes, investment gains, asset sales, or one-time distributions. The IRS expects most to pay either 90% of their current-year tax liability or 100% of last year's taxes (110% for high earners with AGI over $150,000) by the deadline to avoid penalties. Miss these benchmarks, and you could face interest or underpayment penalties—even if you settle up once you eventually file. Review your prior year's return and factor in any unusual income for the year. If in doubt, partner with a tax professional or use IRS Form 1040-ES for guidance. Don't Overlook State Tax Extension Rules One major mistake is forgetting—or not knowing—that state tax extension rules often differ from the IRS. Some states, like Connecticut, sync with federal extensions only if you owe nothing additional; if you do, you'll need to file a state-specific extension. New York requires its own extension form, and most states expect payment by their deadline, regardless of a federal extension. Double-check your state tax agency's website or contact a professional. Often, a separate state extension is mandatory, and missing this step can come with its own set of penalties. Plan for a Stress-Free Tax Extension Filing a tax extension can buy valuable time, but it's not a financial "pause" button. Always file Form 4868 (and any state-specific forms) on time. Pay the lesser of 90% of current-year or 100% (or 110% for high earners) of last year's tax by the April deadline, and study your state's requirements—federal rules don't always apply. Being proactive can save you hundreds (or thousands) in penalties and give you the space to file correctly and confidently later in the year.

Law enforcement training has to evolve as fast as the world officers work in. In this episode of Powered by Learning, ILEETA Executive Director Ray Merlin and Deputy Director Joe Willis share how ILEETA supports a global “tribe of trainers” focused on instructor excellence, year-round learning, and a conference built to recharge and raise the standard.Show Notes:ILEETA's Ray Merlin and Joe Willis explain ILEETA's mission to inspire excellence across the training ecosystem. Their key takeaways include:ILEETA's “north star” is instructor excellence—not just topics. Joe emphasizes that ILEETA is “a community that happens to have an outstanding conference,” built to elevate instructorship year-round. Law enforcement training pressure isn't one issue—it's everything, across roles. Ray notes that the training ecosystem spans far beyond patrol (corrections, federal, military, dispatch, and more), and the goal is continuous improvement in performance. The best modality is intentional blended learning—synthetic + live, with pre- and post-learning. Joe highlights that VR/AR/simulators and distance learning are powerful, but they work best when designed to set up instruction and reinforce learning afterward. Just-in-time refreshers matter because forgetting is real. Joe points to the value of quick, well-designed “bump” resources (the way people use short videos for quick help) to support recall and performance in the field. The biggest opportunity is staying relevant by connecting “pockets of excellence.” Ray frames it as ongoing evolution and professionalism; Joe adds that ILEETA helps connect emerging research and field innovations by bringing the right people together to “connect the dots.” Learn more about ILEETALearn more about d'Vinici's work in law enforcementEditor's Note: Edward J.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 147 The friend-enemy distinction, as it is called, is the underlying organizational principle of the Marxist Left, radical Islam, and the Fascist Reactionary Left (usually mislabeled "Right"). It is spelled out in detail in a 1932 book by Carl Schmitt called The Concept of the Political, (https://amzn.to/4rbQpFN) and in that book Schmitt goes into great detail to explain what is meant by the term "enemies." He gives much less clear attention to the opposing term "friends," in his fundamental construction. So who are the friends in the friend-enemy distinction? Friends are those who will join with you to fight the enemy, who has been declared by the leader (or Führer). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay exposes this ugly fact about the "friendship" (or, allyship) in the friend-enemy distinction and reveals that it is the root of authoritarian and totalitarian thinking. Join him to learn why this concept is so evil. Latest from New Discourses Press!

What does it take to scale disability inclusion across an entire workforce? In this episode, National Organization on Disability leaders Beth Sirull and Sara Walsh explain how the EnAble Learning digital training system helps organizations embed inclusion, adaptability, and workforce readiness into their everyday operations.Show Notes:Beth Sirull and Sara Walsh of the National Organization on Disability share how their new EnAble Learning courses are helping organizations of all sizes create welcoming, productive workplaces through engaging, accessible online training. Here are some of their key points:Disability inclusion is a business imperative, not philanthropy. Beth Sirull shared that companies fully integrating disability inclusion hire twice as many people with disabilities—and promote five times as many—demonstrating measurable business impact.Most disabilities are invisible—and often undisclosed. Beth emphasized that the majority of disabilities are not visible, and disclosure rates are low due to stigma, making proactive inclusion essential.Scalable, on-demand training increases access and impact. Sara Walsh explained that EnAble Learning was created to make high-quality disability inclusion training accessible to organizations of all sizes, especially those unable to support in-person sessions.Engagement and relevance were non-negotiable in the digital experience. Sara noted that the courses were intentionally designed to be interactive, practical, and manager-focused—avoiding “click-through” compliance training in favor of meaningful learning.Inclusion benefits everyone—and anyone can join the disability community at any time. Sara pointed out that disability is a community anyone may become part of at any stage of life, reinforcing why inclusive practices matter across the entire workforce.Learn more about National Organization on Disability's enAble LearningPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Dr. Nathan Jacobs sits down with Fr. Joseph Lucas to discuss penal substitution atonement. The discussion examines the claim that penal substitution is the biblical and historic view of the atonement. Drawing on the writings of Cyril of Alexandria and other early Christian sources, Fr. Joseph Lucas explains how the Church Fathers understood sacrifice, sin, and the work of Christ very differently from later Western models.The discussion looks at the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, typology, and the meaning of Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension. The result is a picture of atonement centered on purification, victory over death, and the transformation of human nature—not a transfer of punishment.This conversation also explores how differences in biblical interpretation led to very different conclusions about what the Cross accomplishes.Support the East West Series: https://theeastwestseries.com/ Bio: Archpriest Joseph Lucas is an Orthodox Christian priest, theological scholar, college professor, and practical philosopher.

Send a textWhat if a Martial Arts Academy wasn't about belts first, but about belonging? Tony Rice, 5th Dan and Founder of Yarm Martial Arts, opens the doors to a place parents call a "Confidence Factory" - where 5 year-olds learn eye contact and kindness, teens find a safe refuge on tough days, and adults rediscover calm between work and family. We dig into the simple habits that build real courage: greet by name, hold eye contact, ask "how can I make your day better?" and mean it. From the family room where parents exhale to the Reception Desk that becomes a village square, this is a living lesson in community done right.Tony shares the life events that shaped his ethos—the loss of his dad at 42, a mum whose mantras still steady him—and how those threads are woven into the academy pledge: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit. He explains why sparring isn't the UFC stereotype; most students never compete. The win is stronger minds, steadier moods, and friendships that outlast school years. You will also hear about Mat Chats that turn mornings and sibling squabbles into teachable moments, a praise–correct–praise coaching style that treats kids with honesty and respect, and black belt celebrations where 11 to 16-year-olds deliver speeches that move a room to tears.We travel beyond the dojo too. During COVID, Tony kept classes alive online and even coached swimming, proving that great coaching is about people first. Flow shows up when structure meets freedom, and that is why his best talks are unscripted and human. There is humour—yes, the legendary Tony Talks and those fifteen-minute rabbit holes of training videos—and there is heart: a garden where the noise falls away, and a vision to build a space that endures long after the next move. If you care about youth confidence, mental health, positive parenting, and community wellbeing, this story will stay with you.Enjoy the conversation, then share it with a parent, coach, or teacher who needs a fresh way to build courage.

Jesus confronts the Pharisees whose foolishness was revealed by their holding to the tradition of man made rules and were in effect making the very Word of God of no value at all. We are in Mark 7:1-13. Jesus rebukes these religious rulers for setting aside the very Word of God in order to keep their traditions. Our Lord gives an example of the priority of the Word of God over man made rules as regards one's responsibility to one's parents. These rulers were rejecting the Word of God by placing their tradition as the priority of what to believe and how to live in family relationships. The Word of God has the priority of authority in one's life. It should be placed as priority over man made rules. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 7:1, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, .

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 145 Carl Schmitt captured the essence of totalitarian politics in his book The Concept of the Political (1932) (https://amzn.to/4sf2Rpk). It is the distinction between friend and enemy. The poison of this kind of thinking is in the ugly fact that the declared enemy must be treated as the declared enemy once a political faction has declared one, and anyone who doesn't go along with that declaration declares himself one of the enemy. That is, it's not just the us-versus-them nature of the declaration of friend and enemy that poisons politics and societies; it's the logic of the friend-enemy political program entirely. Host James Lindsay explains this dangerous logic in this new episode of New Discourses Bullets. Join him to understand. Latest from New Discourses Press!

If you have God's hand on your life, you have been marked for distinction. Now pursue by faith and see what the end will be.
In This Episode The current regulatory regime in the US promised a lighter touch and more de novo charters. Sure enough, there has been a flurry of activity with a wide range of applications being submitted from long time payment providers like Paypal, neobanks looking to break free from their BaaS sponsors, and even silicon valley insiders looking to build the bank of the future like Erebor. Reading the various applications and hearing the varied business plans raised a very fundamental question: What if bank charters are being issued to companies that don't actually want to be banks? We tend to treat a charter like a finish line — as if the moment you get one, you've crossed into some higher state of legitimacy. But a charter is a regulatory status. Being a bank is an economic role. And those two things may be drifting apart. In this episode of Breaking Banks, Jason Henrichs and Jeff Taft, Partner at Mayer Brown, dig into that tension. Jeff has advised on bank formations, regulatory strategy, and some of the most complex de novo and specialty charter conversations in the market. He has a front-row seat to how applicants think about charters — and how regulators evaluate readiness to operate as banks. This conversation was recorded live as part of FintechXchange put on by the Fintech Center at the University of Utah. This Hot Takes series is powered by U.S. Bank. Now let’s dig in to the question: are most charter applicants trying to become banks — or trying to become regulated?

Presented by Karly Hampshire, MD; Natasha Sood, MD, MPH; and Bhargavi Chekuri, MD (Moderator)STFM Conference on Medical Student Education Closing Session | Sunday, February 1, 2026Climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century, yet medical education has been slow to prepare future physicians for its wide-ranging impacts on health systems and patient care. In this session, we spotlight the power of student-led innovation in advancing climate and health education through two globally recognized initiatives: the Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) and Climate Resources for Health Education (CRHE). Both began as grassroots projects by medical students who identified gaps in their training and took action to fill them. PHRC now benchmarks health professional schools internationally on planetary health curriculum, research, and operations, while CRHE has developed a growing library of open-access teaching materials to equip faculty with ready-to-use climate and health resources.Through a panel discussion with the co-founders of PHRC and CRHE, participants will hear first-hand stories of how these initiatives were built, scaled, and sustained as international collaborations. Panelists will reflect on their “aha” moments, early challenges, and lessons learned in fostering inter-institutional collaboration, leveraging mentorship, and bridging the gap between education and clinical practice. As both panelists now train as residents, they will also share how their perspectives on climate and health education have evolved with greater exposure to patient care and health systems.This session will equip educators, learners, and leaders with practical insights on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, leveraging collaboration, and supporting the next generation of change agents in climate and health education.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe how trainee-led initiatives have advanced climate and health integration in medical education worldwide.Identify strategies for fostering collaboration, mentorship, and sustainability in grassroots educational innovations.Apply lessons from student innovators to support the development of new climate and health education efforts at their own institutions.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send a textA courageous journey, a chance meeting and a single ring on the bell at the gilded gates of his future, changed everything for Kevin Tewis and launched him into being! And nothing has stopped him ever since!At 15, a disastrous careers interview informed Kevin that he simply wasn't good enough and a life of stacking biscuits as opposed to a glorious creative career lay ahead. To quote Churchill Insurance's iconic dog Winston that Kevin subsequently went on to create: "Oh No-No-No-No-No!" A day later Kevin found himself at the gates of 5 Star, his very favourite band. And having taken his destiny into his own hands, there at the gates, his future began. That mix of nerve and pitch-perfect timing became a blueprint that Kevin still follows: Create work with staying power, not sugar highs. In this extraordinary episode we explore how a shy Superfan became a Photographer, a Music Producer, a Brand Builder, a Creativity Legend and the mind behind one of Britain's most loved advertising icons, Churchill's nodding bulldog Winston: "Oh Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes!"We dig into the craft. Kevin's teenage habit of hand-charting Top 40 hits helped him decode what makes a song endure across formats and decades. That data-meets-feel approach fuelled records designed to live on Heart and Smooth long after the charts. It also birthed a branding masterstroke: “Winston,” a bulldog that turned insurance into affection by blending British heritage with warmth and simple, memorable language. You'll hear how he later applied the same logic in government, naming ANTENNA for Number 10's secure comms by building inward and outward meaning straight into the word.Mentors loom large in Kevin's story. From Five Star's kindness to Eddie Gordon's industry schooling, he shows how generosity scales careers—and why he now mentors young creators, sits on a school trust, and argues for business literacy in classrooms. We talk ad quality, radio's surprising strength, Simon Cowell's new boy band era, and why AI is best treated like Grammarly: a sharp helper, not a stand-in for empathy, timing, and taste. Creativity remains stubbornly human because what moves us keeps shifting.The most luminous turn arrives with fatherhood. Kevin shares the joy and honesty of building a family through surrogacy and egg donation, keeping both women an active part of his children's lives. It's a lesson in dignity, clarity, and the kind of legacy that truly lasts. Anchored by a favourite line from Kipling's If—keep your head when others lose theirs—this conversation is a guide for anyone who wants to make things people will still love in ten, twenty, thirty years.Enjoy the story, share it with a friend who needs a nudge of courage, and if it resonates, subscribe and leave a review so more listeners can find these conversations.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send a textWhat if staying sharp has nothing to do with age and everything to do with curiosity? We sit down with Harry Mount, editor of The Oldie, for a brisk, generous tour through a life shaped by language, architecture, bicycles, and the courage to change course. Harry opens with the soul of the magazine—why it prizes wit over celebrity and celebrates people “with snap in their celery”—and takes us inside Oldie Of The Year, where legends and unsung heroes share a stage and a laugh.From there, we travel to his “clearing” on the Pembrokeshire cliffs and the four moments that defined his path: the quiet impact of a brother he never met, a childhood powered by worry and exams, a sharp pivot from barrister-in-waiting to gossip columnist, and finally the long, lively challenge of editing a 100-page print institution. Along the way, Barry Humphries' razor wit, Giles Brandreth's encomiums, and the thrill of clean copy land with warmth and precision.Harry's passions animate every page: the “R factor” of great buildings, from Vanbrugh to Hawksmoor; the classics as living tools woven through two-thirds of English; and the deceptive ease of comic prose from Wodehouse, Waugh, Mitford, and Amis. He shares honest distractions—the tug of the internet, the tonic of Hampstead ponds—and a love of press trips where purpose beats the pressure to have fun. There's a personal twist too: his distant cousin Tony Adams, whose openness about addiction helped shift the culture around recovery.Two lines frame the wisdom here. From Virgil: “One day it will help to remember even these things,” a balm for hard seasons and a nudge toward meaning. From Arthur Balfour via Bill Deedes: “Nothing matters very much, and very few things matter at all,” a reminder to edit life with a lighter touch. The dream? To be remembered for a great comic novel—and, failing that, for meeting interesting people, doing interesting things, and writing them up right.If you love good stories, beautiful buildings, late‑period Elvis, and the feeling of wind-in-your-face clarity on a bike, you'll feel at home. Listen, share with a friend who needs a purposeful nudge, and leave a review so more curious minds can find us.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

What happens when decades of trusted learning and development expertise meet purpose-built AI? In this episode, Ken Taylor, CEO of Training Industry, and Amanda Longo, Vice President of Brand Strategy, explore TIA, Training Industry's new AI-powered assistant, designed specifically for L&D professionals to support learning strategy and performance.Show Notes:Ken Taylor and Amanda Longo from Training Industry share the benefits of their organization's AI Agent TIA including these key points:TIA is built for L&D and nothing else. Unlike general AI tools, TIA is trained exclusively on Training Industry's vetted content, including research reports, articles, webinars, and expert contributions. This ensures responses are relevant, credible, and grounded in the realities of learning and development work.Transparency and attribution are non-negotiable. A core design principle of TIA is showing users exactly where information comes from. Every response is sourced, allowing learning leaders to explore original articles, compare perspectives, and build confidence in the guidance they receive.Guardrails matter for trust and quality. TIA is intentionally limited to Training Industry's content ecosystem. If the answer isn't there, TIA says so—reducing AI hallucinations and reinforcing integrity over convenience.TIA supports preparation, not content creation. TIA isn't meant to replace instructional designers or subject matter experts. Instead, it helps learning leaders think through structure, strategy, and next steps—making the human work faster and more informed.AI works best when paired with community. TIA is designed to complement Training Industry's peer and expert network. Learning leaders can use AI-generated insights as a springboard into conversations with practitioners, contributors, and Training Industry staff—turning AI into a catalyst for connected learning.Related Articles:[Product Demo] Meet Tia, Your AI Agent for Solving L&D ChallengesHow Training Industry Turned Two Decades of Knowledge Into an AI Agent: A Case StudyPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

How CX Leaders Can Navigate the Turbulence of an AI-Transformed World Shep interviews Scott McKain, award-winning speaker and best-selling author. He talks about his latest book, Beyond Distinction: How Leaders Transcend the Turbulence of an AI-Transformed World, and how leaders and organizations can create meaningful, distinctive customer experiences in an AI-transformed world. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: Why is consistency important in providing an excellent customer experience? What role does emotional connection play in building customer loyalty? How should companies leverage technology to improve customer service without losing the human touch? What are some effective ways to deliver a proactive customer experience? Why is standing out from competitors not enough to build lasting customer relationships? Top Takeaways: Standing out from competitors is important. However, simply being different is not always good. Distinction is when what we do is unique, compelling, and memorable in a way that is impactful and meaningful to the customers we seek to serve. Consistency wows customers. Amazing customer experiences are built on doing small things right, every time. When every interaction is handled with care and attention, customers learn to trust the brand. Technology, like AI, can make your business faster and more efficient, but loyalty comes from how you make customers feel. Even with simple gestures like remembering someone's name or checking whether the customer got everything they need, it's the human touch that keeps people coming back. Use AI to save money and handle repetitive tasks efficiently, giving your team more time to focus on resolving customer issues and building stronger relationships. Every organization should be very precise about what they aren't, just as clear as they are about what they are. Real competitive advantage does not come from reacting to trends or to what your competitors are doing. If you are constantly in reaction mode, you are already behind. Staying ahead means anticipating your customers' needs before they realize what they want. Artificial Intelligence amplifies the values and habits a business already has, good or bad. If a business is committed to consistently providing excellent service, AI will help them do so even better. If a business is running on broken systems or is only focused on cutting costs, AI could make those problems worse. Plus, Scott shares more insights from his latest book, Beyond Distinction: How Leaders Transcend the Turbulence of an AI-Transformed World. Tune in! Quote: "Tasks go to technology, but emotion and customers go to human beings." About: Scott McKain is a Hall of Fame speaker, business advisor, and the founder/CEO of the Distinction Institute. He is the best-selling author of ALL Business is STILL Show Business, Iconic, Create Distinction, and his latest, Beyond Distinction. Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nathan Wood, author of "Bombs, Bots, and the Principle of Distinction: The Law of Armed Conflict and Contemporary Warfare," speaks on the principle of distinction in an age of autonomous warfare. He argues that while some concerns about these technologies are valid, we must move beyond general debates to address the specific legal and operational realities of concrete systems. Our conversation explores how the US military can utilize these advancements while maintaining a fundamental, felt sense of human responsibility.

They are covenant formation. The Writings witness Torah, call Israel to fear, and define what righteousness produces in the life of the set-apart remnant.Psalm 111 establishes that the fear of Yahuah begins with remembering His works and honoring His covenant.Psalm 112 shows the fruit of that fear, stability, obedience, generosity, and endurance against the wicked.Psalm 113 exalts Yahuah as the Most High who still attends to the lowly, raising the poor and restoring households by covenant mercy.This message is taught with judicial clarity, precept upon precept, and requires a lawful response.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEPraise in the Assembly, Not Private ReligionPsalm 111Praise belongs in the gathered order of the upright, not isolated spirituality. Covenant people worship publicly in truth and remembrance.The Works of Yahuah Are Studied, Not ForgottenPsalm 111The remnant does not admire Yahuah's acts, they study them. Forgetting produces rebellion. Memory is obedience.Covenant Provision and Command Are JoinedPsalm 111Yahuah provides for those who fear Him, and His provision is governed by covenant order, not entitlement.The Fear of Yahuah is the Beginning of WisdomPsalm 111Wisdom begins with trembling submission. No fear, no wisdom. No obedience, no understanding.The Righteous Man Produced by Covenant FearPsalm 112Blessing is attached to delight in commandments. Upright men are stable in darkness and unshaken under trial.Generosity as Covenant Order, Not Charity CulturePsalm 112Giving is covenant justice and stewardship. Ordered care among the set-apart, not forced redistribution.Separation Revealed by OppositionPsalm 112The wicked grind their teeth against righteousness. Distinction returns. Opposition proves separation.Yahuah Exalted, Yet Near the LowlyPsalm 113The Most High humbles Himself to behold the poor, raising them from the dust and seating them with princes.Household Restoration as Covenant FruitPsalm 113Fruitfulness and restoration are governed by Yahuah's mercy, not human control. He builds households by covenant order.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSCovenant praise is public and orderedRemembrance is obedienceFear is the beginning of wisdomRighteousness produces stabilityGiving is governed by Torah justiceOpposition reveals separationYahuah lifts the lowly by covenant mercyHouseholds are restored by His handThese Psalms train the remnant to live upright, fear Yahuah without hypocrisy, and trust His exaltation and governance in every condition.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYPsalms 111–113Deuteronomy 31Exodus 13Deuteronomy 4Deuteronomy 8Proverbs 1Ecclesiastes 12Isaiah 66Psalm 1Deuteronomy 28Psalm 37Deuteronomy 15Psalm 2Malachi 3Isaiah 571 Samuel 1–2Genesis 21Isaiah 54Revelation 7Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.

Send us a textCalling all High Performing Business Travellers! What if travel didn't drain your energy but amplified your performance? That question sits at the heart of our conversation with Founder Ingrid Sanderson of Principal Travel, a boutique, independent firm built to help professionals arrive fresh, not frazzled. We dig into how her team blends concierge-level care with smart digital tools to protect a traveller's most precious assets: time, money, and wellbeing.Ingrid shares the origin story behind a 27-year journey through ash clouds, strikes, airport outages, Brexit, and a once-in-a-century pandemic. The constant theme is trust. From rapid responses to proactive fixes, her team creates calm where there could be panic, so clients stay focused on keynotes, boardrooms, and big moments. We talk about why independence from airlines and hotel chains matters, how invoicing adapts to a client's finance stack, and why a hybrid model—human expertise plus online booking—is the sweet spot for global time zones and fast decisions.We also explore culture and leadership: a long-tenured, highly trained team; the role of mentors and “Nigel's 90 minutes” to protect strategy time; and the personal influences that shape a female-led business. You'll meet Casey the Briefcase, plus avatars Bella Businesswoman and Max Mileage, who bring travel tips to life through playful storytelling.

Our ears, nose, and throat (ENT) work quietly together to shape how we hear, breathe, taste, and even defend ourselves against the outside world. From the often-misunderstood role of earwax to why dry air and seasonal changes make nosebleeds more common—and how inflammation and mucosal irritation contribute to sore throats—many everyday ENT issues are actually signs of smart protective design. But with such a complex system, how simple can effective treatments really be? Can warm tea with honey actually soothe throat irritation? Are cotton swabs really bad for our ears? Can spicy foods truly clear sinus infections?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Chris Park, MD (known online as ChrisP.MD), an Otolaryngology (ENT) - Head & Neck Surgery Chief Resident Physician.Dr. Park received his B.A. in Biology and Computer Science from Dartmouth College and his M.D. with Distinction in Research from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he was a Researcher at the Laryngology Lab.

Torah Class | Distinction, Order, and Daily HolinessTeachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues Leviticus chapter 11, focusing on the laws of clean and unclean as they apply to daily life within the covenant community.Leviticus 11 is not a lesson about diet, culture, or preference. It is instruction on discernment, restriction, and obedience after holiness has been established and judgment has already occurred in Leviticus 10.Part 2 of this chapter addresses how uncleanness spreads, how time and process govern restoration, and why distinction must be practiced intentionally to preserve order in the camp.This is not symbolic teaching.This is covenant instruction.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEUncleanness and Contact Leviticus 11:24–28Uncleanness is not sin, but it does restrict access. Torah teaches how contact affects status and why awareness, not panic, is required.Environmental Spread and Containment Leviticus 11:32–35Uncleanness can transfer quietly through vessels, objects, and spaces. Order must be maintained intentionally or disorder spreads.Boundaries, Time, and Restoration Leviticus 11:39–40Uncleanness is governed by process and time. Restoration follows obedience, not impulse.Internal Governance Leviticus 11:41–43Israel is commanded not only in action, but in posture. Detestation prevents tolerance and protects discernment.Identity and Purpose Leviticus 11:44–45Distinction flows from redemption. Israel is called to be qadosh because Yahuah is qadosh.The Goal of Distinction Leviticus 11:46–47The chapter concludes by restating purpose: to distinguish between clean and unclean, preparing Israel to live daily near holiness.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDistinction preserves orderRestriction protects accessUncleanness requires awarenessTime governs restorationTolerance erodes holinessDaily obedience sustains the campLeviticus 11 teaches that holiness is not maintained through intention, but through disciplined, consistent obedience in ordinary life.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 10–11Exodus 11–12Deuteronomy 14Numbers 19Ezekiel 44Isaiah 52Malachi 2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR available at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDHoliness requires distinction.Distinction requires discipline.Discipline preserves access.Leviticus 11 governs how Israel lives daily in proximity to Yahuah's presence.Final Heart CheckAre your daily choices preserving distinction, or quietly eroding it?

That's the premise of “Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro,” a book written by our guests Mike Taylor and Bianca Baumann. In this episode, you will learn how to elevate traditional training approaches with marketing tools such as learner personas, journey mapping, and content strategy that come together in high impact learning campaigns.Show Notes: Co-authors Mike Taylor and Bianca Baumann share some of the top takeaways from their book, “Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro,” to help you create experiences that learners crave.L&D can learn a lot from marketing. Marketers know the value of making an emotional connection with their audience —L&D should too. Applying marketing principles can help learning designers create experiences that boost performance and influence behavior.Learner personas are foundational, not optional. Understanding who learners are, what they need, and what motivates them is critical to designing content that resonates and sticks.Journey mapping helps deliver learning at the right moment. Mapping the learner journey allows L&D teams to support employees before, during, and after key moments—not just during formal training events.Content strategy drives behavior change. When personas, journey maps, and content strategy work together, learning becomes more targeted, improving proficiency and long-term behavior change.It all comes together in a Learning Campaign. Smaller, well-timed content—resources, nudges, and reinforcements—create more impact than one-time standalone training events.Success is measured beyond completion rates. True learning impact shows up in measuring performance, confidence, and on-the-job behavior—not just in LMS reports.Learn more about Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D ProConnect with Mike Connect with Bianca Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

We are a world that devours stories. Most people tune in every night to be taken in by the stories others are living or they have created, and the vast majority of these stories are centered about a grand cause. The action and adventure movies and dramas we love so often showcase someone encountering a cause and devoting themselves to it. A cause. Something bigger than themselves that involves protecting or supporting the welfare of something or someone else. Finding and having a cause is often the most profound aspect of a life well lived. But we don't seem to grasp how finding a cause works. We tend to think of learning and training and preparing, so that we can commit to something truly big and worthy. A grand purpose. A cause. My guest today argues, in the most compassionate way possible, we have it backwards, and that the greatest people ever known simply committed to something they believed in, and the journey within it is what made them great. It crafted and honed them. The challenge and trials and triumphs along the way is what refined them. Then the charge is not to commit to preparation, but to commit now and let the commitment prepare you along the way. Lynne Twist is a recognized global visionary and legendary humanitarian. Lynne wowed the world with her first book, The Soul of Money, but I had her on my show for her book, Living a Committed Life: Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger Than Yourself. Lynne's own story began when she heard about the The Hunger Project where their goal was to end world hunger, and knew she was supposed to devote her life to it. She spent a decade there and has influenced more people through more humanitarian efforts than nearly anyone. Lynne has been an advisor to the Desmond Tutu Foundation. The United Nations honored her with a “Woman of Distinction” award. From working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to the refugee camps in Ethiopia and the threatened rainforests of the Amazon, Lynne's on-the-ground work has brought her a deep understanding of the social tapestry of the world and the historical landscape of the times we are living in. Over the past 45 years Lynne has worked with over 100,000 people in 50 countries in the arenas of fundraising with integrity, conscious philanthropy, strategic visioning and having a healthy relationship with money.

“Holiness at the Table: Discernment Through Repetition”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues our verse-by-verse instruction through the book of Leviticus and addresses covenant obedience at its most daily and unavoidable level: what enters the body of Yisra'el.Leviticus 11 is not symbolic.It is not cultural.It is not optional.This chapter establishes Yahuah's distinctions between clean and unclean and trains Israel in discipline, restraint, and self-governance through repeated obedience. Holiness here is not emotional or dramatic. It is practiced, measurable, and enforced through daily conduct.This lesson is taught verse-by-verse, precept upon precept, using a judicial structure that keeps authority in the text and removes negotiation.This is not dietary preference.This is covenant law.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Authority Over AppetiteLeviticus 11:1–2Yahuah speaks to Moses and Aaron and commands them to instruct all Israel. Eating is placed under covenant authority. No one is exempt. Obedience at the table becomes a national responsibility, not a personal choice.2. Distinction by Defined StandardsLeviticus 11:3–8Clean land animals must meet two conditions. Partial qualification does not count. Yahuah names animals that appear close to clean in order to eliminate rationalization. Near-obedience is rejected.3. Environment Does Not Change ObedienceLeviticus 11:9–12Water creatures are governed by the same clarity. Fins and scales are required. Context does not override command. Location never excuses deviation.4. Nature MattersLeviticus 11:13–19Predatory and scavenger birds are forbidden by name. Israel is prohibited from consuming what feeds on death. Diet is tied to covenant character.5. Exceptions Require CommandLeviticus 11:20–23Winged swarming things are largely forbidden, with specific named exceptions. Permission does not come from usefulness or tradition. Silence from Torah is not approval.6. Defilement Without ConsumptionLeviticus 11:24–28Uncleanness is transmitted through contact. Defilement does not require intent or appetite. Obedience includes restraint and acceptance of interruption.7. Absolute ProhibitionsLeviticus 11:29–31Creeping and ground-dwelling creatures are unclean entirely. No justification is given because none is required. Familiarity does not cleanse.8. Household TransmissionLeviticus 11:32–35Objects, tools, and shared spaces can become unclean. Obedience is not private. One person's choices affect the household.9. Discernment Without PanicLeviticus 11:36–38Torah distinguishes between contamination and destruction. Clean sources remain clean. Israel is trained to discern, not overcorrect.10. Circumstance Alters PermissionLeviticus 11:39–40Even clean animals produce uncleanness when death is involved. What is permitted can become forbidden by condition.11. Self-Governance Under TorahLeviticus 11:41–43Negligence is treated as defilement. Israel is commanded not to make themselves detestable. Discipline must be internal.12. Purpose of the LawLeviticus 11:44–47Yahuah ties dietary obedience to holiness and identity. Distinction preserves covenant order. Discernment is the goal.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDaily obedience reveals authorityDistinction preserves holinessRepetition forms disciplineNegligence defilesHouseholds transmit obedience or disorderSelf-governance is required under covenant lawLeviticus 11 teaches that holiness is not proven in moments of crisis, but in ordinary, repeated obedience.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 11Leviticus 20Deuteronomy 14Isaiah 65–66Ezekiel 4Ezekiel 44Malachi 1–2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.
