Podcasts about Doubling

Read Online“The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.' His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities.'” Matthew 25:20–21Oftentimes, when we are presented with a story of success versus tragedy, our attention goes to the tragedy first. The parable we are given today, the Parable of the Talents, presents us with three persons. Two of the people display stories of great success. One, however, offers a story that is more tragic. The tragic story ends by the master telling the servant who buried his money that he is a “wicked, lazy servant!” But both of the success stories end with the master saying, “Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities.” Let's focus upon these success stories.Both of the servants who were successful doubled the master's money. Even from a secular point of view, that is very impressive. If you were investing money with a financial advisor and shortly after investing you were told that your money had doubled, you'd be quite pleased. Such a rate of return is rare. This is the first message we should take from this parable. Doubling the gifts and graces God gives us is very doable. The reason for this is not primarily because of us; rather, it's because of God. By their very nature, God's gifts to us are meant to grow. By its very nature, grace flows in superabundance; and, when we cooperate with God's grace, then it grows in an exponential way.When you consider your own life, what gifts has God given to you that He wants you to use for His glory? Are there gifts buried away that remain stagnant or, even worse, are used for purposes that are contrary to the divine plan for your life? Some of the more obvious gifts you were given within your very nature are your intellect and will. Additionally, you may be extra-talented in one way or another. These are all gifts given on a natural level. In addition to these, God often bestows supernatural gifts in abundance when we begin to use what we have for His glory and for the salvation of others. For example, if you work to share the truths of our faith with others, God will begin to deepen your supernatural gifts of Counsel, Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding so that you will be able to speak about God and His will. All seven of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are among the clearest examples of supernatural gifts given by God as follows: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear of the Lord. The prayer that concludes this reflection comes from a traditional novena to the Holy Spirit and not only asks for these gifts but also gives a short description of them for a better understanding. Reflect, today, upon the fact that what God has given to you, both on a natural and supernatural level, must be devoted to the service of God and others. Do you do this? Do you try to use every talent, every gift, every part of who you are for God's glory and the eternal good of others? If you don't, then those gifts dwindle away. If you do, you will see those gifts of God's grace grow in manifold ways. Strive to understand the gifts you have received and firmly resolve to use them for God's glory and the salvation of souls. If you do, you will also hear our Lord say to you one day, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”Oh, Lord Jesus Christ, grant me the Spirit of Wisdom, that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal; the Spirit of Understanding, to enlighten my mind with the light of Your divine truth; the Spirit of Counsel, that I may choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven; the Spirit of Fortitude, that I may bear my cross with Thee and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation; the Spirit of Knowledge, that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints; the Spirit of Piety, that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable; the Spirit of Fear of the Lord, that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Willem de Poorter, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Peter Lang is a seasoned entrepreneur and M&A strategist who helps agencies and digital businesses grow through smart acquisitions and integration. He co-founded Uhuru Network in 2010, building it into a seven-figure digital sales and inbound marketing agency before exiting in December 2022. Peter is now Founder of Digital Agency Business, Owner of Digital Mastermind Group, and a board member at Lang Acquisitions, where he supports leaders and portfolio companies in driving growth through strategic M&A and collaboration. In this episode… Many agency owners struggle to break past growth plateaus using only organic methods. While expanding client rosters and service offerings can help, these paths are often slow, unpredictable, and resource-heavy. Could acquiring other agencies be a faster and more strategic way to expand capabilities, increase revenue, and build long-term value? Peter Lang, an experienced entrepreneur and M&A strategist, explains how intentional acquisitions can unlock rapid growth and solve operational challenges. Peter shares how to identify opportunities, align a seller's motivations with your vision, and integrate teams without losing cultural balance. He also emphasizes the importance of having a clear long-term objective, building deal flow systems, and treating integration as a professional discipline to maximize the value of each transaction. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Peter Lang, Founder of Digital Agency Business and Owner of Digital Mastermind Group, about using M&A to grow agencies. Peter discusses sourcing and closing deals, creating a compelling vision for sellers, and best practices for integration. He also talks about cultural fit in acquisitions, avoiding common M&A pitfalls, and his journey from agency founder to advisor and dealmaker.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 5: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: THE DISASTA IN ALASKA The Disasta in Alaska - starring the cheeseburger-eating surrender monkey. We have, to quote Churchill, suffered a defeat, without a war. Because we forget we don’t MERELY have an evil, deranged president, we have an evil, deranged president who is also a moron. Now, Trump - Putin’s butt boy, his errand carrier - will deliver Putin’s message to Zelensky in Washington. He will be accompanied by EU President von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Rutte, Presidents Macron of France and Stubb of Finland, Prime Ministers Starmer of the U-K and Meloni of Italy, and Chancellor Merz of Germany. Trump will be accompanied by a large selection of mirrors. I suspect Trump will parrot what he remembers of Putin's message (whatever Trump's staff didn't leave on the printer of the business center at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage) and tell Zelensky that the way to achieve an end to the war in Ukraine is: to lose. The best thing Zelensky and the Europeans could say in response would be to state that they are withdrawing their recognition of the government of the United States of America because it is just too effing stupid. From the Disasta in Alaska to the Occupied territory of Washington, D.C. And don’t forget what Trump today DOUBLING the number of National Guard in DC with new recruits from Ohio, West Virginia, and South Carolina (all of them, far more violent than DC) means: It means he’s read his cratering polls number and declared war on the United States of America. Also: we rejoin the Trumpstein Cover-up Scandal, already in progress. B-Block (30:02) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: International Fop Piers Morgan FINALLY does a journalism - posts a meme of Trump on his way to meet Putin and Trump is wearing kneepads - and then DELETES the first journalism of his life? Pam Bondi proudly admits The Deep State has defeated her fascist DOJ with nothing more than a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub. And the battle of the most overrated people in their field: neither CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin nor House Democratic mis-Leader Hakeem Jeffries repeat Andrew Cuomo's canard that Democratic NYC mayor nominee Zohran Mamdani lives in a rent-CONTROLLED apartment when he, like HALF of all NYC renters (myself included) lives in a rent-STABILIZED apartment. Sorkin repeats this FOUR times, Jeffries doesn't correct him, and Jeffries who is theoretically a congressman from New York STILL refuses to endorse his own party's nominee, chosen by its MEMBERS, for mayor OF New York. Sorkin should be fired and Jeffries should resign. C-Block (43:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody wrote last week that Aaron Sorkin's HBO "Newsroom" version of some of what happened to Countdown on MSNBC was the worst fictionalization of journalism in the English language. I think that's an exaggeration. It wasn't nearly that good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TJ Romans didn't just sell $800,000 in plumbing work last year—he installed it, too. That kind of performance doesn't come from pressure tactics or slick sales lines. It comes from trust, education, and a clear process that empowers homeowners to say yes with confidence.  In this episode, TJ breaks down exactly how he earns that trust—and consistently turns routine calls into big-ticket installs.  You'll learn how he: Sold and installed $800K in plumbing by keeping it simple and putting the homeowner first Navigates high-risk stoppage calls with a single sentence that protects both him and the company Uses inspections as an educational moment—not a scare tactic—and builds options around what homeowners care about Handles objections with empathy, especially on calls involving remodeled bathrooms or builder-grade fixtures Structures his calls by focusing first on what the customer noticed—then smoothly introduces additional value Builds urgency the right way—backed by visuals, facts, and clear explanations Avoids chasing every potential upgrade and instead controls the call with purpose  TJ also shares how he mentally resets after tough calls, stays consistent with his approach, and trains newer techs to focus on the long game—not the quick close.  This isn't a high-pressure sales training—it's a real conversation with a high-performing technician who genuinely wants to help people. And that mindset? It sells. If you're in plumbing sales—or manage people who are—this is the kind of episode that can change your approach for the better.  

If you think making more money means sacrificing more time…   Let me ask you this: Who says?   That one question changed everything for me.   Because I used to believe it too.   Back in 2018, I told my coach I'd “settle” for 50K because I didn't have more hours to work.   Two kids. 20 hours a week. No bandwidth.   And then she said: “Who says?”   That question helped me hit 6-figures that same year.   And it's the question I want you to answer before you add more to your plate.   In this week's episode of the Market Like a Boss podcast, I break down: Why doubling your revenue isn't about working harder Three things I use to grow with less time, not more Why the strategies the industry sells you are actually slowing you down   If you've got 20 hours or less and you want to scale without burning out, this one's for you.   Connect with me outside the podcast!  Continue the conversation in the Market Like a Boss Facebook group.  Give me 30 minutes and I'll show you how to add $5K–$10K/month…without adding a single hour to your schedule.

The Resources Minister says New Zealand's missed a trick with geothermal energy. Shane Jones' draft strategy lays out a goal of doubling its production by 2040. He says we should have begun investment seven years ago, when we banned oil and gas exploration. Jones told Mike Hosking we have some great expertise on geothermal energy that we should be harnessing. He says Indonesia and other areas are investing in this, and our New Zealanders are more highly regarded there, than here. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do we avoid retracing our steps—even when it helps us reach our goals faster? In this episode of Under the Cortex, host Özge Gürcanlı Fischer-Baum speaks with Kristine Cho and Clayton Critcher from the University of California, Berkeley about their latest research on doubling-back aversion: the tendency to resist more efficient paths if they require undoing prior effort.    Across four studies involving performance tasks and virtual navigation, Kristine finds that people often choose less efficient strategies simply to avoid feeling like their past actions were a waste. This aversion, while related to the sunk-cost fallacy, has its own unique psychological fingerprint.    Tune in to learn how our perceptions of effort, progress, and meaning can lead us astray—even when we know better.    If you're interested in learning more about this research, visit psychologicalscience.org.    Send us your thoughts and questions at  underthecortex@psychologicalscience.org.

In episode 304 of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the “rules of money” every business coach must know, why being new in a market can be your superpower, and the realities behind popular business myths. The episode combines practical financial wisdom with actionable strategies for business coaches seeking lasting growth and wealth—while reminding listeners that higher-level thinking trumps shortcuts, and focusing on product is the ultimate accelerator. Key Topics Covered The Weight of Local Celebrity and the Power of “New” Karl Bryan compares the pressure faced by athletes like Mitch Marner in their hometowns to the challenges coaches feel when becoming “local legends.” Being new in a market is reframed as a hidden advantage—fresh faces wield a psychological “superpower” that can accelerate growth, provided coaches leverage it rather than fear it. Rules of Money for Business Coaches Money is fundamentally “a game of doubles”—constantly look for trajectories to double investments, whether in marketing, skills, or assets. Compounding is a key driver: marginal utility and small improvements across many areas trigger outsized, accelerated results. Patience and “aggressive patience”: real wealth (for you and your clients) is built by “hurrying up and waiting” rather than chasing quick wins or lotteries. Taxes and fees are often ignored but are the #1 expense for most people and require intentional, strategic management. Product, Sales, and Marketing Mastery Success flows from being excellent at your product first—if your service delivers, sales and marketing get dramatically easier. Sales is one-to-one, marketing is one-to-many, but “product” is what truly solves the problem and generates lasting referrals. The classic principle: “You can't sell or market your way out of a bad product.” Standing Against Popular Business Myths Myths like passive income, four-hour workweeks, and “do what you love and make millions” are unpacked as misleading for most coaches. Instead, the actionable advice is to become extremely good at your craft, focus on profit margins, and fall in love with what you do best. Selecting Ideal Coaching Clients Your ideal client is “you, five years ago,” and those with strong profit margins. Focus on helping highly coachable, successful people, not just anyone willing to pay. Beware of spreading yourself thin with multiple streams of income before your main business is thriving. Notable Quotes “Being new is like a superpower—like new, sex, and chocolate.” “Money is a game of doubles… have a path to turn $1,000 into $2,000.” “You can't sell and market your way out of a bad product.” “Needing nothing attracts everything.” “If you buy stuff, you end up with stuff. Not needing something is the same as having it.” “If you can sell, you can't coach. If you can coach, you can't sell.” “Play big. The anxiety isn't from overwhelm—it's from knowing you're capable of more.” Actionable Takeaways Leverage Your “Newness”: Don't be afraid to enter new markets; position yourself as the fresh expert to stand out and attract attention. Focus on Doubling and Compounding: Aim to double the outcomes of every investment—financial, time, or client results. Teach your clients about the magic of compounding: small, smart improvements in multiple areas add up fast. Be Aggressively Patient: “Hurry up and wait”—apply urgency in action, but patience in expecting results. Master Your Product: Strive to be the absolute best and (eventually) the only choice in your niche. Constantly refine your coaching deliverables and operating systems to make getting clients effortless by reputation and results. Prioritize the Right Clients: Go after highly coachable, growth-minded, and profitable clients—ideally, those you were like 5 years ago. Challenge “Feel-Good” Myths: Don't get distracted by gimmicks promising fast wins or easy lifestyles. Focus on skill-building, operational leverage, and real profitability. Understand Your Real Expenses: Taxes, fees, and interest are the true drains on wealth—work with pros and educate yourself to minimize them for you and your clients.

Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews transformational executive coach Will Samson of WillSamson.com. Will shares his approach to helping IT executives and small business owners manage chaos by focusing on internal transformation and “radical self-ownership.” He emphasizes the power of identifying what can and cannot be controlled, using personal narratives to reshape outcomes. Through compelling case studies—including a CFO overcoming trauma and a successful post-merger integration—Will illustrates how shifting mindset leads to measurable business success. Listeners are encouraged to clarify their own controllable factors to gain focus and resilience. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Practice Radical Self-Ownership: Take complete responsibility for your internal state and actions. Lasting business success starts with personal transformation. Control What You Can, Release What You Can't: Create a simple list of what's within your control versus what isn't. This clarity helps reduce overwhelm and sharpen focus.   Your Internal Narrative Shapes Your Reality: The stories you tell yourself influence how you respond to challenges. Rewriting those stories can lead to better decisions and outcomes. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Success Brings New Challenges: Growth isn't the end of struggle—it introduces new layers of complexity. Be prepared to adapt your mindset and systems as you scale.   Interdependence Beats Independence: You can't do it all alone. Building systems and relationships around shared support fosters sustainable success. Business Chaos is Often Personal Chaos: Many external challenges reflect unresolved internal conflicts. Addressing the personal side of leadership often unlocks the solutions to business problems. One action small business owners can take: According to Will Samson, one action a small business owner should take is to make a list dividing what they can control and what they can't—this simple exercise brings clarity, reduces overwhelm, and empowers focused, intentional decision-making.
