You Are Firemen: Built to Lead, Built to Last This week's episode is part reflection, part celebration, and part reminder. Chris and Melissa sit down to talk about two big milestones: the recent Family Brand Blitz and the five-year anniversary of The Family Brand Podcast. And instead of just sharing highlights, they unpack the deeper lessons that emerged — about consistency, leadership, and why families are far more capable than they often realize. They reflect on the power of bringing couples together in person at the Blitz, how every family — no matter the stage — is carrying something hard, and why the work of building a strong family culture is always worth doing. They also share a big realization that came out of the event: families don't need more content or bigger programs — they need simpler, more focused tools that actually fit real life. Chris and Melissa talk honestly about the tension between doing more and doing better, and why growth often looks like subtraction instead of addition. As the new year approaches, they invite listeners to consider what needs to be simplified, not added. They also reflect on the hardest part of any meaningful work: consistency. Excitement comes easily. Staying the course when motivation fades does not. Melissa shares what it's taken to show up week after week for five years — even on the weeks she didn't feel inspired — and how consistency is what ultimately allows you to "earn the right" to lead, teach, and have a voice. The episode closes with one of the most powerful metaphors they've ever shared: you are firemen. Challenges don't mean you're failing — they mean you're exactly where you're supposed to be. You were built for the heat. You were sent your kids for a reason. And together, as a family, you are capable of far more than you think. This episode is both grounding and empowering — a reminder that leadership starts at home, consistency builds confidence, and strong families aren't perfect… they're intentional.

Two hundred years ago, jobs lasted generations. Your grandfather kept the same job for 40 years. Today? You'll change jobs at least 12 times in your working life—and you're unlikely to be doing what you're doing now in just five years.The job cycle has collapsed from multi-generational stability to something almost unpredictable, and AI is accelerating this change beyond anything we've seen before. But here's the truth most people miss: AI isn't taking your job. Your outdated skills are.In this episode, we break down what employees need to do to stay relevant and how employers can manage workforce transitions without destroying their teams. You'll hear real examples from companies getting it right—Citibank trained 175,000 employees, Amazon invested $1.2 billion, and PwC created gamified learning that attracts 9,000 participants monthly.Workers now need new skills every decade, not every generation. Self-education isn't optional anymore. Companies that figure out how to retrain their people will dominate their industries. Those that don't will lose their best talent.The pace of change isn't slowing down. This episode gives you the playbook for navigating it—one Golden Hour at a time.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

This special honeymoon edition of Quick Hits comes to you from 40,000 feet in the air, as DeAndre records mid-flight on the world's longest route from JFK to Singapore. With travel in full swing, this episode focuses only on the most critical updates in points and miles, along with a brief look at the honeymoon itinerary.The biggest news of the week is the sudden and unexpected shutdown of the Mesa Homeowners Card. Once considered a breakthrough option for earning transferable points on mortgage payments, Mesa abruptly closed all cardholder accounts, deactivating cards and freezing new earning overnight. While the closure is not related to cardholder behavior, it has triggered a scramble to move or redeem remaining points. A workaround discovered by the community allows some transfers to partners, and DeAndre shares where listeners can find that information.The episode wraps with a quick travel update, including upcoming stops in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Fiji, before settling into the heart of the honeymoon. For the next few weeks, Quick Hits will remain shorter and focus only on significant news.Key takeaways: Mesa card shutdown: Mesa abruptly closed all Homeowners Card accounts without prior notice.Earning halted immediately: Cards were deactivated, and new purchases or point earning are no longer possible.No wrongdoing involved: Mesa confirmed closures were not due to customer behavior or account issues.Transfer workaround: A community-discovered method may allow transfers to Mesa partners.Statement credit fallback: Redeeming at ~0.6¢ per point remains an option, though not ideal.Trust concerns: The shutdown raises questions about Mesa's future and customer confidence.Honeymoon mode: Quick Hits episodes will be shorter and focus on only major updates.Interested in Financial Planning?Truicity Wealth ManagementResources:Mesa Workaround for Missing Points Transfer OptionsBook a Free 30-minute points & miles consultationStart here to learn how to unlock nearly free travelSign up for our newsletter!

Introduction: Making Dog Shows Work in Expensive Times Dog shows are more plentiful than ever—but the costs are rising. Entry fees, fuel, lodging, grooming supplies, and time away from work or family can quickly turn a joyful hobby into a financial strain.

What happens when old relationship patterns collide with real-time growth?Lauren and Trey start this episode with a wild night out that sparks a raw conversation about ex partner behavior, accountability, and emotional maturity. After witnessing prank calls and performative attempts to re-enter an ex's orbit while they were on a date, Lauren names the behavior clearly. At best, it's childish. At worst, it crosses into bullying and harassment.Instead of judging from a distance, Lauren invites Trey to reflect on the times he's done versions of this himself. They explore why intent does not negate impact, how none of us were taught how to be in romantic relationships, and why grace for our younger selves is essential to growth. Trey shares two candid stories from his past, while Lauren reflects on a moment when wanting to be chosen meant not choosing herself.At the 26 minute mark, the conversation shifts as they unpack a financial change in their partnership, with Lauren stepping into the role of primary breadwinner. Trey opens up about fears around contribution, masculinity, and being left behind, while Lauren names how meaningful it is that these conversations are happening at all. They revisit the origin of Sex Ed For You, the belief that fueled it, and how old money stories can resurface even in secure relationships.Lauren closes by honoring the courage it takes to seek support and growth. Trey ends with a message to straight men in particular. Seeking help is never shameful.If this conversation resonates, please like, comment, and share the episode.And if you're looking for sex and relationship coaching you're invited to request a free consult with Lauren at www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultIdeal for couples in long-term partnerships who want deeper intimacy, more desire, and better sex.About Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

And Effective Altruism has put my faith community to shame The BeginningWhen I became a Christian age 15 my life began to transform, but sadly my first external play was proclaiming no sex before marriage and saying F#$% a bit less (I've since resumed). Two years later at premed, Tuesday was my only night with no tutorial so I joined a church group, which was weirdly labelled “Social Justice”. I had zero clue what this was aboutt, maybe preventing bullying at school?. Our leader Jo opened with a question I'll never forget. “I'm fundraising for World Vision and I told my chain-smoking friend I'll buy him a pack of cigs if he joins the fundraising effort. Do you guys think that's OK?” As we discussed the conundrum for the next hour my heart jumped a little. Perhaps my time, skills and money could be useful for something more than just a comfortable life in the ‘burbs…Why do I Give?“When you give….” Jesus Christian motivations for giving vary wildly. Some mostly give to keep their church club solvent, others to save face, but most have deeper motivations. Here are mine.

Earning 100 PAI points seems to trigger improvements in mitochondria, blood viscosity, and endothelial tissue.HIIT Defined: High-intensity training is defined as working at a threshold of 30 beats per minute below your maximum heart rate—the intensity level where you can speak to someone but you cannot sing.The Dose: Higher intensity exercise needs to be done every second day because the cellular and molecular benefits are short-lived, lasting only about two days.Personalized Activity Intelligence (PAI): This metric is a compass for longevity. There is a linear association between PAI score and VO2 Max—chasing PAI points ensures you are getting the required intensity and duration for physiological adaptation.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab

Today, my good friend Colt McCoy joins me for a deep and personal discussion about his path from small-town Texas to 14 seasons in the NFL, the mentors and moments that shaped him, and the intentional process of stepping away from the game. We talk through his early years growing up on the sidelines, the day he went from being a complete unknown to over 100 Division 1 offers, and the mindset he built while earning the starting job and leading Texas to the National Championship.   Colt reflects on the physical and emotional toll of the 2009 title-game injury, the realities of NFL life, and the teammates, coaches, and owners who influenced him most. He also opens up about the year-long discernment process that led him to retire, move his family to Fort Worth, and build a new career in real estate. We discuss: • Colt's early upbringing around football and how it shaped his identity • Winning the starting job, leading Texas for four seasons, and the highs and lows along the way • The 2009 national championship injury and its lasting impact • Lessons from 14 years in the NFL, including leadership, longevity, and adapting his game • His decision to retire, prioritize family, and pursue a new path in Fort Worth real estate • The role of faith, patience, and discernment in navigating major life transitions Support our Sponsors Ramp: https://ramp.com/fort Collateral Partners: https://collateral.com/fort Links: Colt on X - https://x.com/ColtMcCoy Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:02:51) - The realities of working for ESPN and calling games (00:11:15) - Colt's earliest memories of football (00:18:31) - The impact of Colt's dad (00:22:45) - Earning a scholarship to The University of Texas (00:34:34) - Colt's career at UT (00:47:32) - Colt's greatest memory at UT (00:57:43) - The state of College football (00:58:40) - The Michael Crabtree story (01:04:27) - The toughest environments to play in (01:06:24) - Colt's NFL career (01:08:58) - The biggest learning curve going from the NCAA to the NFL (01:17:35) - Who's the best athlete you've ever seen?

Is story excellence something you "know when you see it"—or can it actually be measured?Is excellence defined by hitting bestseller lists? Filling seats at every book tour stop? Being selected for “Best Books of 2025” lists?Is excellence defined by getting gatekeeper approval? Getting agent representation? Landing a book deal? Winning awards?Is excellence defined by earning money? Getting a big advance? Earning out the advance and bringing in royalties?Or is it something else?How can we measure that a book is good? What is the pinnacle we're trying to reach, and how will we tell when we achieve it?This is a big, big question, and feels in some ways impossible to answer. But I'm going to try.

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in October 2025, I reflect on the evolution of the podcast and how my coaching now supports B2B consultants at all revenue stages. I talk about the three key business growth 'eras' I coach and the importance of creating a $100K consulting offer so you can work less and earn more. I also introduce my new free guide, The Business Remodel, and announce limited spots for private coaching in 2026. If you're ready to elevate your consulting business, this episode is for you! Quotes:  "When you start to offer high ticket consulting where you're serving the top of the market - the companies who can actually afford you, using your whole brain and the depth of your expertise and experience instead of just 3% of your skills and abilities - this means you can serve a handful of clients and make insane money as a result." "It's not always about doing loads of really hard and scary things. It's about finding that alignment - doing the things that come naturally to you, instead of feeling like you have to become a completely different person and override all your natural instincts and your intuition." "You aren't yet financially free and you plan to invest more into your retirement fund. You want to serve at a higher level, and work with senior leaders and C suite level leaders. You want your advice and expertise to make a difference in companies that shape the world. And this is my favourite bit - you want all of these things AND to be back in time for dinner. You want your weekly yoga class and coffee with your friends and time outdoors with your pets, and to live a healthier lifestyle without perpetual stress and rushing. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that your $100K consulting offer will put your business in a place where it delivers all of these things."

High-earning women don't just think differently about money. We speak differently.    In this episode, I'm showing you the five phrases high-earning women never use when talking about money. These tiny sentences shape your identity, your self-trust, and your income far more than any spreadsheet, strategy, or calculator ever could.   Join me this week as I walk you through five things I would never say about money - not because I'm perfect or fearless - but because removing these from my vocabulary is exactly what helped me go from "never enough" to becoming a self-made multimillionaire.   You'll hear why phrases like "I can't afford it" and "I'm not ready" are actually expensive forms of self-protection, how they drain your clarity and income, and what to say instead when you're leading your life and business from emotional authority instead of fear. This is what money feminism looks like in practice: refusing to shrink your desires, choosing truth over hesitation, and raising your identity to match your vision.   In this episode, I talk about: Why "I can't afford it" is hesitation disguised as practicality.   How high-earning women don't collapse their desire to match a price tag.   Why believing money can be wasted puts you into emotional debt with yourself.   How "I'm not ready" is fear with lipstick on (and what to say instead).   What money feminism actually looks like in your language and decisions.   The emotional honesty required to create the money and life you desire.   ~~   For full show notes, transcript, and to check out Kendall's brand new FREE workshop UPLEVEL, click here: www.themoneycoachschoolpodcast.com/115

In this episode I respond to a “how to make passive income with AI” video that pushed a lot of buttons for me and led to a Stoic deep-dive on AI, capitalism, work, and the moral fabric of society. Using the example of AI-generated nursery rhyme channels and AI “justice porn” clips, I explore the difference between responsible and runaway capitalism, why AI is not evil in itself, and how our media habits quietly shape our character and our culture. I also talk about the role of traditions (like secular Christmas) in holding a society together, and why the way we use AI right now may mark either a temporary backslide or the beginning of an “Age of Alogos”. Key takeaways from this episode include: AI is a tool, not a villain – The problem is not that AI exists, but how we choose to use it, especially when we use it to chase money with no concern for quality, truth, or human well-being. There is responsible and runaway capitalism – Earning money by creating real value is one thing; farming children's attention or stoking division with low-effort AI content is another. “Work is a scam” thinking can backfire – Trying to escape “the system” by doing the least work for the most money often means reinforcing the very worst parts of that system. AI “justice porn” and emotional bait reshape our perceptions – Fully AI-generated clips of caricatured “bad people” getting their comeuppance may feel good, but they habituate us toward contempt, fear, and stereotyping. Habituation still rules – What we choose to watch, click, and share shapes our character over time. Media consumption is moral training, whether we admit it or not. Traditions can be moral glue – Healthy traditions (like a secular Christmas focused on giving and belonging) can connect us across generations and steady us against social unraveling. We may be entering an “Age of Alogos” – AI, stacked on top of the internet and social media, is accelerating the reach and confidence of the least thoughtful voices; whether this is a temporary backslide or a lasting darkening is not yet clear.

Episode Summary: This episode is powered by The 7 Figure Shift Workshop “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown Can we be honest?! There is an often-overlooked link between hormone balance and a woman's ability to lead, speak and be seen at scale. And because it's been overlooked, we are definitely not taking it into consideration as women leveraging & scaling business empires.  That stops TODAY. If you're scaling to seven figures while secretly ignoring the signs your body is whispering (or screaming), this episode is your wake-up call. Legacy-led leadership doesn't come from burnout; it's built from balance. In this intimate and disruptive conversation, Dr. Darnyelle sits down with Maraya Brown—Yale-trained CNM, women's health expert, and powerhouse CEO—to unpack the truth about what it really takes to sustain your brilliance without sacrificing your body. We're talking hormones, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, libido, nervous system regulation, and the untold cost of hustling while hormonally depleted. You'll finally understand how your body, brain, and bank account are inextricably linked—and why optimizing your internal ecosystem is your next million-dollar move. Whether you're in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the bleeding edge of burnout, this is the episode that will change the way you do business—because if your health is on the back burner, so is your impact. This is your invitation to ditch the myth that scaling a business means sacrificing your body. If you've been running on caffeine, willpower, and survival mode, it's time to reclaim the vitality that fuels true overflow. Hit play to discover why the real ROI comes when your hormones, heart, and hustle are finally aligned. Here's the truth: A dysregulated nervous system, depleted hormones, and unresolved trauma will cap your capacity faster than any business bottleneck. Most seven-figure CEOs aren't underperforming—they're over-extended and under-resourced internally. Your strategy isn't broken—your system is screaming. Real overflow starts in your body. You'll walk away with a powerful framework to reconnect with your physical body as a portal to profit, new language for understanding what your burnout and libido are really trying to tell you and a reset button for how you show up in your business and your relationships. Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation!  Listen in to discover: ✔ How to identify hormonal imbalances that are silently sabotaging your business success ✔ Why regulating your nervous system is the ultimate secret to scaling with sustainability ✔ 3 non-negotiables every 7-figure woman must prioritize to access overflow, pleasure, and profit ✔ And so much more This episode is a call to stop gaslighting your own body in the name of ambition. It's time to shift the paradigm: from success that depletes to success that sustains. In a market that glorifies hustle and downplays healing, this episode challenges the high-achieving woman to get radically honest about what she's carrying—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—and how it's affecting her ability to lead, love, and live fully. Maraya Brown delivers insights that will shift your physiology and your profitability. Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown “Your body doesn't lie—but you've learned to ignore her.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “We cannot grow sustainably in our business if we're silently eroding in our body.” – Maraya Brown “Overflow is not just about money; it's about hormones, health, and harmony.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Most women think their exhaustion is normal; but it's not your normal, it's your nervous system in distress.” – Maraya Brown Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my life am I pretending I feel fine when I'm actually depleted? What story am I telling myself about needing to “push through” that no longer serves me? How might honoring my body create more income than any launch or sales strategy? When was the last time I felt deep, sustainable energy and vitality? What would radically honest self-care actually look like in this season?

The 1920 General Election: The League and Campaign Oratory — David Pietrusza — Harding proved to be a surprisingly effective orator, earning substantial speaking fees on the Chautauqua lecture circuit despite his reputation for carefully evasive rhetoric. Following his meeting with the infirm Wilson, Cox committed unreservedly to supporting the League of Nations, a political miscalculation that proved electorally catastrophic. Wilson's documented inability to negotiate or tolerate substantive opposition represented a fundamental character flaw that prevented compromise on League ratification. Socialist Eugene Debs also mounted a presidential campaign, remarkably doing so while imprisoned for wartime anti-war advocacy. 1920 COX AND FDR
