"Community is what fills you up. Earning money is what helps you pay your bills."  Real leadership shows up when success expands beyond personal gain and turns into responsibility for others. Building something meaningful takes communication, commitment, and a willingness to step into problems rather instead of avoiding them. When people align around purpose instead of convenience, work becomes fulfilling, communities strengthen, and momentum grows naturally through shared effort.  Eric Axelrod explains how decades in recruiting taught him the fundamentals of listening, problem-solving, and guiding people through uncertainty—and how those same principles fueled the creation of Wood For Good. What began as helping a few families during COVID quickly turned into a scalable community effort because volunteers found purpose, connection, and pride in meaningful action. He highlights how isolation weakens societies, while shared service restores confidence, energy, and human dignity.  Eric is a longtime recruiting executive and nonprofit founder based in Vermont. Through Wood For Good, he mobilizes volunteers to provide firewood to families facing heat insecurity, demonstrating how entrepreneurial skills can be redirected toward community resilience and lasting impact.  Expert action steps:  Listen deeply before acting—real solutions come from understanding people, not assumptions.  Lead with visible passion—energy and sincerity create momentum and trust.  Treat obstacles as opportunities—how you interpret problems determines your progress.  Learn more & connect:  https://wood4good.org/  Socials:  https://www.facebook.com/Wood4GoodVT/  https://www.instagram.com/wood4goodvt  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level. 

UFC 325 had some really great moments and finishes throughout the card. Ruffy over Fiziev, BSD over Dan Hooker and some not so great. Chief of the worst was just the booking in the main event, Diego Lopes vs Alexander Volkanovski looked like Lopes vs Volk 1. It was a dominant performance the first time and it was only 9 months ago. What was even the point?

Picking up a camera is often the start of a life-changing journey. And when it's combined with a focus on community building, the determination to lead by example, and shrewd entrepreneurial skills—this basic action can have a ripple effect with the potential to change countless lives. In today's show, we speak with creative community trailblazer CJ Wolfe, who has built a passion for pictures and infectious team spirit into a multifaceted brand that encompasses rental studios, a creative agency, and a non-profit organization with a mission to educate and inspire disenfranchised youth.  Listen in and discover how CJ tapped the determination and leadership skills instilled in him as a student athlete to build a thriving business from the ground up. As an advocate of the 10,000-hour rule, he put in the time and focused on studying the industry and its varied tools and processes, to propel both himself and his community to the next level. When asked what advice he'd give to young photographers just starting out, CJ notes: "…have your third eye open to what's going on around you, and how you can fit that into your story, into your art, into your creativity with your camera. Because nowadays, photographers, you're just not a photographer. Like, there's so much more to that now." Guest: CJ Wolfe Episode Timeline: 2:55: CJ's first camera, his pictures of fellow athletes, and learning camera settings on the fly. 6:29: The skills CJ learned from sports that have helped him build his business.  10:37: The challenges involved in establishing a 600-square-foot photo studio and rental business.  16:55: Building the business by studying the industry and the needed tools and trusting that process.  20:52: Establishing the CJ Wolfe Foundation as a non-profit organization and building the staff.  24:57: Earning people's trust, changing the perception of the neighborhood, and looking to establish studios in other cities.  31:23: Looking ahead to another five years and having more impact, plus CJ's plans to get back to his own photography. 33:59: CJ's advice for photographers who are just starting out: Always be open to learning new things about storytelling and marketing.  36:55: CJ's upcoming plans related to upcoming photo activations and major events going on in Philadelphia.   Guest Bio: CJ Wolfe first picked up a camera in 2018, while pursuing college studies as a student-athlete. Since that time, he's become a staple within Philadelphia's creative community, influencing sports, music, and lifestyle through his creativity behind the scenes and, most importantly, behind the camera. Early on, CJ recognized a major gap in his hometown—a lack of safe, inspiring spaces for photographers to refine their craft, showcase their talents, and build professional networks. Responding to that need, in 2020, he founded Immortal Vision Studio, which quickly grew into a trusted rental powerhouse for photo and video production. Now operating two boutique studios totaling 6,000 square feet and booking over 2,000 appointments a year, this homegrown business has become a cornerstone of the city's creative community. Additionally, in 2023, CJ founded Immortal Vision Agency as a creative firm producing high-impact content for brands and businesses, while simultaneously elevating local talent to the world stage. Working together with his team, CJ has produced work for Red Bull, Footlocker, Ethika, ASAP Ferg, Lil Baby, Meek Mill, and Allen Iverson to name just a few.   Stay Connected: CJ Wolfe Website: https://www.cjxwolfe.com/  CJ Wolfe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cjxwolfe/   CJ Wolfe LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cj-wolfe   CJ Wolfe Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/scott-beardslee  Immortal Vision Studio Website: https://www.immortalvisionstudio.com/  Immortal Vision Studio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/immortalvisionstudio/   Immortal Vision Studio Youtube: https://www.www.youtube.com/@immortalvisionstudio/  Immortal Vision Studio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/immortalvisionstudio  CJ Wolfe podcast segment at B&H's Bild Expo: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/bild-2025-recap-with-cj-wolfe-maria-clinton-benjamin-von-wong  Credits: Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

In this episode, Ian sits down with Henry Wagner, Chief Marketing Officer at Megaport, to explore how marketing teams can earn attention in increasingly crowded and skeptical B2B markets.Henry shares why Megaport invests in unconventional campaigns, like building an eight-bit video game to celebrate a major company milestone, and how smaller, calculated bets often outperform large, high-risk sponsorships. He breaks down his philosophy of “doing science, not alchemy” in marketing, emphasizing rigorous testing, learning, and iteration over narrative-driven guesswork.Key Takeaways:Creative risk is easier to justify when bets are small and frequent. Contained experiments often deliver outsized attention with limited downside.Great marketing teams run science, not alchemy. Measurement, iteration, and learning beat intuition and narrative.LLMs change discovery, but not the need for authority. Clear, structured, problem-focused content still wins—measurement just looks different.Episode Timestamps: *(14:16) The Trust Tree: *(17:56) The Playbook: *(46:32) Quick Hits: Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

Are you truly leveling up, or just moving faster without understanding who you are becoming?In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why real growth often feels disorienting and why reflection is a non-negotiable performance skill, not a soft habit. They challenge the belief that progress means leaving the past behind and explain how reassessing previous seasons builds grounded confidence, sharper self-awareness, and long-term consistency. Drawing from years of experience, recurring client patterns, and thousands of conversations, they show how clarity, identity alignment, and discipline are what allow growth to compound without burnout or entitlement.Listen with intention.

We talk about physicality, professionalism, staying ready through setbacks, navigating injuries, and why discipline and accountability matter more than hype. A real conversation about earning your spot and sustaining a career when nothing is guaranteed.

This episode is a deep exploration of purpose, initiation, and what it truly means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. I'm joined by Tim Corcoran, founder of Purpose Mountain and co-director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, whose life's work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their soul-level calling through nature-based mentoring and rites of passage.Tim shares his personal journey from a conventional path in computer science to a life shaped by wilderness immersion, indigenous wisdom, and long-term mentorship. We explore the cultural gap created by the absence of meaningful rites of passage in modern society, and how that absence often leads people to unconsciously create their own initiations through suffering, addiction, or crisis. Tim offers a radically different framework—one rooted in intentional initiation, deep nature connection, and guided vision quests that help individuals discover who they are and why they're here.We also dive into the mechanics and philosophy behind vision quests, including fasting, solitude, mindset, and the importance of preparation and integration. Tim explains why these experiences are not about endurance or bravado, but about presence, humility, and listening—both to oneself and to the living intelligence of the Earth. We talk about mentorship as a reciprocal relationship, resilience as a cultivated capacity, and how true healing often emerges from being witnessed over time rather than chasing peak experiences.This conversation is a powerful reminder that purpose isn't something we invent—it's something we remember when we slow down, step outside, and allow life to speak back.Visit purposemountain.com to sign up for a Vision Quest or Discover Your Purpose mentoring.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

For high-earning ER physicians, capital gains aren't just about investments—they're about control. The way gains stack on top of earned income can change tax outcomes, portfolio risk, and even career decisions in ways that aren't obvious at first glance.  Today, we're unpacking how capital gains actually work in the context of ER income, and why small strategic choices can make a disproportionate difference over time.

A Brutally Honest Take on Work and WealthWe spend an enormous amount of our lives thinking about work and worrying about money. How much should we save? How hard should we hustle? Will we ever have enough?The book of Ecclesiastes meets those questions head-on—with refreshing honesty.Written by “the Teacher” (Qoheleth), Ecclesiastes doesn't offer clichés or easy answers. Instead, it introduces us to a key idea that shapes everything else: hevel—a Hebrew word meaning vapor, smoke, or breath. Something real, but fleeting. Visible, but impossible to grasp.Think of smoke. You can see it. It looks solid. But the moment you try to grab it, it slips right through your fingers. That, the Teacher says, is what money is like. It's real and useful—but if you try to build your life on it, you'll eventually discover you're standing on nothing.The Big Idea: Money is a helpful tool, but a horrible god.Below are five timeless insights from Ecclesiastes that help us hold work and wealth with wisdom and humility.1. Work and Wealth Are Good Gifts from GodEcclesiastes is clear: work itself is not the problem. In fact, the Teacher calls it a gift.Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NLT)“And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it… this is indeed a gift from God.”Notice where wealth comes from—from God. That means we are not the source of our wealth; we are stewards of it. The Bible never commands us to be poor, unemployed, or lazy. Instead, it consistently warns against idleness.Work is good. Earning is good. Enjoying the fruit of your labor is good—when it's received as a gift, not treated as a god.2. Don't Sacrifice Your Peace for a PaycheckWhile work is good, toil is not.Ecclesiastes 4:6 (NLT)“Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.”There's hevel again. Hustle culture promises fulfillment but often delivers exhaustion. When success steals your sleep, your joy, and your sanity, something is off.The Teacher observes that those who work hard tend to sleep well—but the wealthy often lie awake at night, anxious and restless. More money doesn't always mean more peace.3. Money Can't Buy True HappinessIf money could satisfy the human heart, then having more would finally be enough. But Ecclesiastes says otherwise.Ecclesiastes 5:10 (NLT)“Those who love money will never have enough.”The problem isn't having money—it's loving it. Wealth constantly promises happiness just one step ahead: a little more, a little better, a little bigger. But that finish line never arrives.The New Testament echoes this wisdom, warning that the love of money leads to sorrow, spiritual drift, and deep regret. Money makes a terrible savior.4. Enjoy What You Have Right NowHere's one of the most practical lessons in Ecclesiastes:Ecclesiastes 6:9 (NLT)“Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have.”Wealth can't buy happiness—but what you already have can be enjoyed. Contentment isn't getting everything you want; it's learning to appreciate what God has already given.Gratitude replaces coveting. Presence replaces comparison. Jesus reinforced this truth when he warned that life is not measured by how much we own.5. You Can't Take Any of It With YouEcclesiastes repeatedly reminds us of a simple reality: we arrive with nothing, and we leave with nothing.Ecclesiastes 5:15 (NLT)“We can't take our riches with us.”This truth isn't meant to depress us—it's meant to free us. There are no hearses pulling U-Hauls. One second after you die, your net worth is...

#750 Thinking about selling your business someday? Then you'll want to hear this episode! Patrick Lange, owner of Business Modification Group and one of the country's top HVAC business brokers, joins host Brien Gearin to break down what really makes a business sellable — especially in the trades. After selling over 140 companies, Patrick shares why hiding profits might save you on taxes but can kill your valuation, how to build a trades business buyers will actually want, and what to expect during the sales process.

Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or simply build with the end in mind, this episode is packed with practical advice, real-world stories, and eye-opening insights that every entrepreneur should hear!

I've had the opportunity to follow Seth Brock since his days at Eagle High School here in the Treasure Valley. Back then, I got to watch him compete as a tight end and defensive end, and he was also getting after it on the wrestling mat. He was a high-level athlete then, and now he's a national champion at Montana State. In this episode, Seth takes us inside what the transition to college football really looks like. Going from being "the guy" in high school to showing up at the next level where nobody cares who you were. You're back at ground zero. You're earning everything—your reps, your role, and your respect. We talk about what his redshirt year taught him, how to stay mentally locked in when you're practicing all week but not suiting up on Saturdays, and why timing is everything when you're trying to climb the depth chart. We also dive into the wrestling-to-football connection and why wrestling builds an edge for linemen—hand fighting, leverage, conditioning, adversity, and the mental toughness that carries over into life. Seth shares a powerful metaphor their D-line room lives by: "Water the bamboo." You don't always see growth right away… until it shoots up. Seth also breaks down Montana State's championship standard, the physicality of Big Sky football, and what it's like being part of a team that refuses to fold—even with their backs against the wall. Plus, he shares some unforgettable moments from this season, including Gold Rush, the Super Brawl, and his welcome-to-college-football moment at Oregon. If you're an athlete trying to make the jump to the next level—or a parent, coach, or sports fan who loves the stories behind the grind—this one is packed with lessons on preparation, patience, and maximizing opportunities when they come. To support Seth, check out his NIL links and gear, and follow him on Instagram.

In a recent episode of "Discovering Grayslake," recorded at the Grayslake Area Public Library, the host sat down with team members Janai, Addy, Ella, and parent Megan Willhite to discuss their upcoming trip to nationals in Orlando, the hard work behind their success, and the powerful role of community support. This blog post dives deep into the main themes of the episode—dedication, teamwork, fundraising, and the impact of community—offering actionable insights and expert advice for anyone involved in youth sports, dance, or community initiatives. Whether you're a dancer, a parent, or a supporter, there's something here for you. 1. Earning a Spot at Nationals: The Power of Teamwork and Leadership How They Did It Choreographing a Winning Routine:** The team earned their nationals bid at the UDA summer camp at Northern Illinois University, where they performed a routine choreographed in part by junior Ella. Their first-place win was a historic moment for the program. Leadership from Seniors:** Seniors like Janai played a pivotal role, setting the tone for the season and inspiring underclassmen to push harder. Actionable Advice Empower Student Leadership:** Allowing students to choreograph and lead fosters ownership and pride. Encourage upperclassmen to mentor younger teammates. Set Clear, Ambitious Goals:** The team's focus on reaching nationals gave everyone a shared purpose. Set specific, challenging goals to unite your group. Expert Insight "When you have younger people coming up behind you, it encourages more to join. Success breeds success."   — Discovering Grayslake Host 2.

Lessons Learned Community Outreach:** Addy shared her experience going door-to-door on Center Street, learning valuable communication and fundraising skills. Gratitude and Generosity:** Parent Megan highlighted the overwhelming support from local businesses and residents. Actionable Advice Diversify Fundraising Efforts:** Don't rely on a single event.

Personal outreach (like going door-to-door) builds relationships and teaches responsibility. Express Gratitude:** Always thank donors and supporters publicly and privately. Gratitude strengthens community ties. Expert Insight "Fundraising isn't just about the money—it's about teaching responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance."   — Megan Willhite, Dance Team Parent 3. The Demands of Competition: Commitment and Time Management A Grueling Schedule Early Mornings and Long Days:** Practices start as early as 6:30 a.m., and competition days can last from dawn until mid-afternoon for a two-minute performance. Balancing Academics and Athletics:** Dancers juggle schoolwork, rehearsals, and competitions, often requesting extra practices to perfect routines. Actionable Advice Prioritize Time Management:** Use planners or digital calendars to balance school, dance, and personal time. Practice with Purpose:** Focus on quality over quantity in rehearsals. Set specific goals for each practice session. Support Each Other:** Encourage open communication about stress and workload. Peer support is crucial during busy seasons. Expert Insight "The season starts with spring auditions, continues through summer and fall, and peaks in winter. It's a marathon, not a sprint."   — Megan Willhite 4. The Value of the Experience: College, Confidence, and Lifelong Memories Looking Ahead College Opportunities:** Janai is heading to Cleary University on a dance scholarship. Ella is attending college clinics and reaching out to coaches, while Addy is keeping her options open. Resume Boost:** Competing at nationals can give dancers an edge in college applications and recruiting. Cherished Moments Team Camaraderie:** Addy values the time spent with seniors and the sense of family on the team. Milestone Memories:** Janai's last football game performance and Ella's pride in winning the spirit stick are highlights. Actionable Advice Document the Journey:** Encourage dancers to keep journals or photo albums. These memories will be cherished for years.

Give Back:** Encourage dancers to volunteer or perform at community events as a thank you. Promote Random Acts of Kindness:** As the host signs off, he reminds listeners to spread kindness—an ethos that strengthens community bonds. Expert Insight "Get out there today and do one or two random acts of kindness. You never know what people are going through."   — Discovering Grayslake Host Key Takeaways for Dancers, Parents, and Community Leaders Success is a Team Effort:** From choreography to fundraising, everyone plays a role. Fundraising Builds More Than Budgets:** It teaches life skills and connects the team to the community.

What does it really mean to commit to something for 10–15 years?In this episode, Jason Khalipa reflects on earning his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt—and everything the journey required along the way.

Rent is one of the biggest expenses for Americans — and for decades it's been one of the least rewarding. In this episode, Mosheh sits down with Ankur Jain, CEO of BILT, to break down how his company is trying to flip that equation — and reveals new details about BILT's newest credit cards launching next month. Jain explains how BILT has evolved from a simple idea — earning points on rent — into a platform now used in one in four U.S. apartment buildings, connecting rent payments to credit building, neighborhood rewards, and even future homeownership. He walks through how BILT partners with landlords, banks, and local businesses — and what's changing with its upcoming credit cards designed to make everyday spending, from housing to healthcare, work harder for consumers. The conversation widens to rising housing costs and how AI and other technologies could reshape the economics of cities. Beyond that, Jain shares his lessons from scaling BILT with a lean team, avoiding early VC pressure, and what founders often get wrong when trying to grow companies. Mosheh and Ankur also get personal about growing up with immigrant parents. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel.

John 13:18-30,I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' 19 I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus' side,24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. 25 So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.This is the Judas sermon. It's dark. It centers on betrayal, which can be one of the most emotionally painful and gut-wrenching experiences in human life. Have you ever been betrayed?Our passage ends with John reporting “it was night,” which is not just the time of day but an ominous note about what's to come, for Jesus and for Judas. This is an emotionally heavy sermon. But don't think of that as bad. We're human. God designed us with emotions; they are features, not bugs. He means for our lives to have rhythms of emotional heaviness, and relief. Many of us live in a desert of emotional triviality, or even emotional numbness. This heaviness can be good for you.It was heavy for Jesus. Verse 21 says, “Jesus was troubled in his spirit.”That's the same language we saw at the tomb of Lazarus (11:33) and when he realizes his “hour” has come (12:27). It's a strong verb that “signifies revulsion, horror, anxiety, agitation” (Carson). It's a visible emotional response, perhaps almost a panic, obvious to the others in the room.Jesus is no stoic. He is human, fully human, with fully human emotions. And this, for him, is a heavy, painful, troubling moment. Not only has his “hour” come to go to the cross, but one of his chosen twelve, whom he loves and has just washed their feet, is on the cusp of betraying him. Jesus is not deadpan when he says, in verse 21,“Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”He's emotional: shaken, stirred up, troubled in his spirit. They could hear it in his voice. And he's without sin. Take note: you can be holy and “troubled in your spirit”; God made your heart to be moved, and facing death and the betrayal of a dear, close friend should be moving. Jesus, fully human, and perfect, was troubled. If you're never troubled, that's not a mark of maturity. It may be a sign you're not well, not whole.But oh how wonderful it is that the human heart is capable of such complexities. Even in this heaviness, remember the banner that flies over chapter 13, verse 1:“…having loved his own who were in the world, [Jesus] loved them to the end.”This is a chapter about Jesus's love. So, even though this is the Judas sermon, this is also a sermon of great love — with love and affection even for Judas. Jesus washes his feet. And we'll see in a minute a specific way in which he loves him to the end. Disciple Jesus LovedIn this passage about Jesus's love we're also introduced to “one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved” (verse 23). This memorable way John refers to himself will come back four more times in the last three chapters (19:26; 20:2; 21:7, 20) before the author reveals his identity in the second to last verse in the Gospel (21:24). What a marvelous way for a Christian to refer to himself: one whom Jesus loved. John doesn't even give his name but knows himself loved. This is the heart of being a disciple of Jesus: knowing yourself loved by Jesus, and gladly giving your life to make his name known, not your own. I don't need to put myself forward — I am loved by Jesus.Here's where I want to go this morning… I want to end with two very personal questions for everyone in the room:Could I be like Judas?How do I handle the Judas in my life?But first we need to know what happened to the first Judas. How did Judas get to the place where, in verse 27, “Satan entered into him”?It did not come at random or without warning. Satan cannot force his way into a soul. He comes invited. And he's welcomed, not just in a moment, but little by little, over time, in a process of a heart becoming hard to Jesus, and responsive to Satan, because it is becoming like Satan's.What Happened to Judas?I see at least six glimpses in this passage of that process of hardening for Judas. And several of these are striking for us in terms of what not to do, and conversely what to do, to not be like Judas, but rather be like John — as a beloved disciple of Jesus, who leans on Jesus and communes with him, and stays with him, and in the end is held fast by him.So, our first question: What happened to Judas? How did one of Jesus's Twelve come to betray Jesus? What contributed to the process of hardening Judas's heart?1. He had been a devil-in-the-making.Back in John 6, we got our first cue that a defector was among the twelve. This is John 6:70–71:Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.Jesus knows, but no one else can tell. No one expects Judas. The disciples even seem to expect themselves before they expect him.But Jesus knows. We saw two weeks ago in verses 10–11:[Jesus says] “you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”We can marvel here at Jesus as his “hour” comes. He is in full control, “not a hapless victim” (Carson). He knows Judas and chose him and allows this. Even as Jesus goes to the cross, he is master of this hour, like he is master of every hour. We saw in chapter 10, verse 18:“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.”And we so marvel at how Jesus goes to the cross: resolute, in control. Yes, troubled, and loving his own to the end. Which includes getting them ready to endure. So, in verse 18, he quotes Psalm 41 (we'll come back to this), and says in verse 19:I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.To strengthen their faith, he lets them know ahead of time that he knew a traitor would emerge. It's painful, but part of the plan. He's in control. And in verse 27, he even gives Judas one last command:“What you are going to do, do quickly.”Jesus knows the heart of Judas and what's in him. Long had he been a devil-in-the-making, even though the other disciples had no clue and only Jesus knew it.2. He kept the moneybag.Verse 29 mentions that “Judas had the moneybag,” which we first came across in 12:4:But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.Apparently, Judas was a master deceiver. He hid his love of money behind the veneer of care for the poor.This is important: Satan had a way in with Judas: love of money. Judas gave the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:27). How many times had Judas heard Jesus say,No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. (Matt 6:24; also Luke 16:13)Yet, Judas's love of money was his fatal flaw. What started small in him, grew and grew, until he was willing to trade Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Paul says in 1 Timothy 6:10 that the love of money is the root of all evils. The kind of heart that loves money more than God is the heart of evil, in all its many forms. Cities Church, let's newly be on our guard against the love of money. Check your heart regularly for love of money. Money itself is not evil. Having money is not evil. Earning money is not evil. But loving money is the root of all evils. Don't give the devil that foothold. Fight it. Do what Judas didn't do when you sense the magnetism of money in your heart: remember the surpassing value of Christ (Philippians 3:8), confess your sin, give generously. One of the best ways to battle love of money is give generously to meet needs in Jesus's name.So, Judas had the moneybag, and developed a love for money.3. The devil put it into his heart.This is chapter 13, verse 2, at the last Supper,“the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.”Note the process: Judas is, by nature, a devil and thief. And his heart is poisoned by love of money, and into such a heart Satan stands ready to put his bait: exchange Jesus for money. The slowly conditioned state of Judas's heart has opened the door for Satan. Satan doesn't need to control Judas and make him do anything. Judas's heart has become so aligned with Satan's that he gives him just what he wants.4. Jesus gives him the bread.Now, this may seem like a surprising step in Judas's process, but this is what verses 26–27 say happened right before the fateful moment:“…when [Jesus] had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him.”This is a dramatic moment. At least two things are happening here. One is that it is an act of affection from Jesus to select a choice morsel, and dip it, and give it to Judas. Jesus, the host, is honoring Judas, and expressing affection for Judas in giving him the morsel. This is Jesus truly loving him to the end. Jesus washes his feet, and offers him one last overture of love, one last chance to come clean and repent. And Judas reaches out and takes the bread and receives Jesus's favor, and instead of returning to Jesus, he gives himself over one last time to evil.The second thing, with the mention of bread, is what we saw in verse 18 from Psalm 41:9: Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.Psalm 41 is a psalm of David. Many betrayed David in his embattled life, including his own sons. But one particularly painful betrayal was that of his trusted counselor, Ahithophel, in 2 Samuel 15–17. When David's son Absalom rebelled against him, David's best counselor betrayed him and went over to Absalom's side. Which was a deeply painful loss for David, and almost cost him the kingdom. Ahithophel knew exactly how to counsel Absalom, and if Absalom had listened, it would have been the end of David. But David had planted a spy, his friend Hushai, who offered alternative counsel and carried the day (and so bought David time to regroup). Ahithophel realized his folly, like Judas would, when his counsel was not received, and he went and hung himself, knowing what his fate must be when David returned.Jesus, the descendant of David, sees in Psalm 41 what happened to David, and he knows the heart of Judas, and knows what is developing, and that just as betrayal happened to David, so too would it happen to him. David's close friend (which Jesus will call Judas in Matthew 26:50), who ate David's bread, lifted his heel (like a horse) against him. Even so, in one last act of love, Jesus prepares the morsel of bread and gives it to Judas, who takes it.5. Satan entered into him. Now the fateful verse 27: “Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into [Judas].”What does it mean that “Satan entered into him”? Luke says the same in Luke 22:3, “Satan entered into Judas.” In Acts 5:3, Peter says something similar to Ananias: “Satan [has] filled your heart.” What does it mean for Satan to fill a heart, or enter into Judas?I do not think it means that Satan possessed Judas in such a way as to control him beyond his will or to make him do anything that otherwise was not in line with his heart. Remember the process we've seen: from a hidden devil and thief, to a hardened hypocrite in his love for money, to a heart so callously evil he's primed for the devil's suggestions, and now to being totally in sync with the devil's anti-Christ plan.I do not think this means that the devil made Judas do it. Satan doesn't have that power. He can't make anyone do anything. But the very anti-God impulse of unchecked evil in the devil's heart can also become so deeply cultivated in a sinner's heart that he begins to share the very heart of the devil. Judas is not possessed against his will; Satan entered in according to his will. Judas is fully culpable. As Jesus says in Matthew 26:24,“The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”6. He “went out.”This may seem like a small detail in verse 30, but it is significant:“So, after receiving the morsel of bread, [Judas] immediately went out. And it was night.”The last step is that Judas departs. He leaves the fellowship. He goes out from communion with Jesus and from the gathering of Jesus's disciples. He leaves them. The safest place in all the world for Judas would have been right there with Jesus, and with his disciples. But Judas goes out, into the night, into the darkness, into unchallenged communion with Satan and his plans against Jesus, and his plans to destroy Judas.So, Judas is a devil, and he loves money, and he opens himself to Satan's influence, and receives the bread from Jesus and doesn't repent; his heart and mind are aligned lock-step with Satan's, and at last, he leaves. He goes out from Jesus and out from his people.So, we end with our two questions.1. Could I be Judas?The ultimate answer is no. There is one Judas. You have not had the physical, bodily proximity to Jesus that Judas had. Your story will not be exactly like his. Cosmically, you are not a devil-in-the-making like he was.However, there is a sense in which you could be like Judas. This is very real. You could give Satan a foothold by nursing some particular sin in your life. Your heart could slowly become more callous, making yourself more and more evil and open to the influence of evil.And the objective, visible flashpoint today is often the “going out.” Just as Judas's last step was to leave Jesus and his people, we see it today over and over when once-professing believers leave their fellow disciples in the church. They “go out from us.”They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. (1 John 2:19)Brothers and sisters, perennial temptations include money, sex, and power, and plenty of other patterns of sin besides. Give the devil no foothold (Ephesians 4:27). “Keep your life free from love of money” (Hebrews 13:5). Don't “go out” from Jesus and his people; stay in the room; stay at the Table.Ask yourself this morning, Are you giving the devil any foothold in your life? Is there any unconfessed, un-renounced, unaddressed pattern of sin in your life?My prayer this morning is that if anyone is on a Judas path, that they would turn. And that if any have unholy fears about being Judas those would be quelled, and you'd have fresh confidence how not to be Judas. Fight love for money and any pattern of sin. Give Satan no chance. Stay close to Jesus and his people.And, as we close, I want to pray for fresh freedom to entrust to Jesus the one in your life you most fear could be Judas.2. How do I handle the Judas in my life?We are our brother's keeper. This is what we covenant with each other in church membership: I will be the church to you; you be the church to me. We commit to be the church to each other, and live out Hebrews 3:12–13:Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.We are our brother's keeper, but not our brother's lord. So, we finish with a word to dear friends, even parents, of those who seem like a Judas. They once professed faith; all seemed right. Then came the drift; or perhaps all of a sudden, it seemed, they “went out from us” and have not come back.Many of us, perhaps especially parents, carry the burden more than is reasonable. Yes, pray, invite, seek to win them. Whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins (James 5:20). And trust your God. Do not carry what is not yours to bear.Years ago John Piper wrote a poem about Judas's father, Simon Iscariot. The poem had this refrain with which it ended:Sink not in darkness nor despair, Bear not what yours is not to bear: When you have loved and lost then trust; The ways of God are always just.And so we come to the Table. And take the morsel from Jesus with fresh sobriety and clarity this morning.Receive His Bread in FaithThis Table, and our receiving in faith, and eating in faith, is a powerful regular means, among others, of Christ keeping us in him. How do you receive this morsel from Jesus at his Table week by week? Paul says, in 1 Corinthians 11,Whoever [like Judas?] eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.Yet when we do discern the body and eat and drink in faith, we share in the blessing and security that are ours only in Christ.

Connect with Chef Mike Website: MikeCollantes.com Instagram: @ChefMikeCollantes TikTok: @ChefFlipMike Episode takeaways Consistency is a system, not a mood. Great once is easy, great every night is leadership and process. Scaling demands trust. The bigger the operation, the less "hands-on control" matters, and the more people and standards matter. Burnout is real, and rebuilding is possible. The conversation highlights how identity, faith, and family can reframe success. Storytelling is a competitive advantage. Food can be incredible, but community and meaning are what keep people coming back. Pressure can build diamonds, but health is non-negotiable. Excellence is the goal, self-destruction is not.

This English-born, though Irish-bred actress began her career, after escaping the Blitz by moving to United States, at the age of eighteen by playing a cheeky Cockeny servant to Charles Boyer in the thriller Gaslight (1944). This role brought her a contract with MGM and her first Academy Award nominaton for best supporting actress. At the time, she was seen as a b-list actor, but her role in The Manchirian Candidate (1962) put her on the map and is often considered, to this day, one of her best perfomances. She also quickly gained stardom for her lead role in the Broadway musical Mame in 1966, a catergory of performance she absoluted dominated. This role lead to her winning her fist every Tony Award. However, this starlet didn't stop only at theatrical appearances. In fact, she made her way to worldwide fame after playing the sleuth, Jessica Flecther, in the American whodunit series Murder She Wrote. The show ran for 12 seasons until 1966. Earning it the title of one of the longest-running and most popular detective dramas in television history. Some of Lansbury's projects include, Dear World, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, National Velvet (1944), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), Nanny McPhee (2005), and Mary Poppins Returns (2018). She also acheived many acolades such as 6 Tony Awards, 6 Golden Globes, 2 honorary BAFTA Awards and many more.

Driving less can be the biggest raise you give yourself. We dive into how to tighten your pool service route so every mile worked actually pays, from drawing smarter borders to pruning outliers and building compact days that feel smooth even when things go sideways. You'll hear a clear framework to map clusters, create crossover paths for flexibility, and avoid the trap of taking “just one” out-of-area account that costs you twice in time and stress later.We get specific about choosing corridors and neighboring cities that balance workload after winds or storms, so you don't get crushed in one zone while another sits clean. You'll learn how to handle sensitive account changes with simple, client-friendly language, and how to partner with nearby pros to swap or transfer accounts without burning goodwill. We also break down when it makes sense to buy a small, tight route inside your target area, then sell or let go of far-flung pools to compress your map fast.To keep the pipeline aligned with your plan, we share practical tactics for targeted Google and Facebook ads, neighborhood canvassing, and a disciplined lead filter that protects your borders. The result is a schedule designed by intent, not chance: day-specific clusters, predictable drive times, and time saved that turns into higher margins or earlier finishes. If you want to earn more by driving less—and keep your sanity when the winds kick up—this conversation gives you the playbook. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a fellow pro, and leave a quick review to help others find it.• mapping current accounts into clusters• designing crossover days for flexibility• setting borders and pruning outliers• diversifying cities to balance wind and debris• smooth client transfers without drama• partner swaps and mini-route purchases• targeted ads and saying no to bad-fit leads• day-specific scheduling that saves timeSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Do you ever wonder what cards other people have, how they use them, and exactly how many points they're earning each year? I'll be honest—I'm nosy when it comes to other people's points, and I love getting a peek inside someone else's points earning strategies. In this first part of a two-part year-in-review series, I've invited Dr. Andrea Mabry back to the show to break down everything that shaped our points earning in 2025. This has become one of my favorite Point Me to First Class traditions, and this year marks the third installment of this annual series. We're pulling back the curtain on the credit cards we opened, the unexpected opportunities we seized, and the total number of points we earned across all our points ecosystems, from Chase and Amex to Capital One, Citi, and beyond. Andrea and I each share our total points earned for the year, then break those numbers down by transferable versus airline-specific currencies, welcome bonuses versus organic spend, and the earning methods that delivered the most value. We talk about why this was an unusually busy year for new card acquisitions, what happened when an entire points program collapsed overnight, and what's on our radar for 2026.  Whether you're mapping out your own points strategy or just curious how two points enthusiasts approach earning at scale, this conversation offers real numbers, honest reflections, and the lessons we're taking into the new year.
