Who knew that there were so many ways we could engage in mental and emotional abusive behaviors.  Because so much of what we do has been modeled after behavior we experienced growing up, we often don't see the hurt and dysfunction in those behaviors. Educating ourselves on healthier behaviors is vital for our growth and progress. Because when we know better, we do better, right?  In this podcast we will explore behaviors we may be engaging in that are harming our relationships and preventing us from having the connections that we ultimately desire.  This is not meant to cause us shame or guilt, but rather to bring awareness to our actions so we can explore the feelings and thought behind them and ultimately clean them up.

It's fall, it's October and the US Supreme Court is back in session. On today's episode, we have a special guest from the AFJ Justice team. We are joined by our colleague Jamal Lockings. With Jamall we will cover the big cases to be heard by the court. Then we will talk about how nonprofits can get involved with supreme court advocacy, nominees, and more while staying nonpartisan and being mindful of lobbying limits.    Attorneys for this Episode  Brittany Hacker  Susan Finkle Sourlis  Jamaal Lockings     Intro to Justice Program  Our justice team works on both federal and state judicial appointments and elections and runs numerous invaluable resources including our judicial vacancy tracker and helps keep us and the public informed about nominees. This includes the decisions they make after they've been confirmed, and how cases in federal courts – especially the supreme court – are impacting our civil rights and democracy.     Today, we are thrilled to be joined on the pod by our friend and colleague Jamaal Lockings. Jamaal is a fellow attorney who serves as a Dorot Fellow on the Federal Courts team.   Today we want to talk about the upcoming cases in this supreme court term, what we should be keeping an eye on, the potential impacts for our c3 partners, and what nonprofits can do during this term and future terms to advocate.     Cases to watch out for this term  Voting Rights and Money In Politics  Louisiana v. Callais  Issue: Whether a states efforts to comply with the VRA is, in itself, a form of racial discrimination   (1) Rehearing from last term (2) The Court is playing politics (3) the VRA is on the chopping block   Consequences: A final blow to the VRA, and increased difficulty for minority voters to participate in free and fair elections   National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC  Issue: Whether to maintain the federal limits on political party coordination w/ candidates in campaign advertising.   (1) Could render campaign contribution limits meaningless, increasing the already outsized influence of money in politics (2) These cases on elections and voting rights can't be observed in a vacuum     LGBTQ+   Chiles v. Salazar   Issue: Whether Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” for minors violates First Amendment protections of free speech and religious exercise   (1) Religious litigants have been notoriously successful in this court (2) free speech and religious exercise have been used not to ensure equity or equality but to prop up Christian nationalist ideology.   West Virginia v. B.P.J.   Issue: Title IX and barring Trans athletes   (1) This court continues to wade into culture wars (2) It's ruling in Skrmetti and Justice Barrett's assertion that Trans isn't a protected states (3) Embolden lawmakers to continue to write oppressive laws against trans individuals    Executive Power & Civil Liberties   Trump v. Slaughter   Issue: whether statutory removal protections for members of the FTC – and agencies like it – “violate” the separation of powers.    (1) The Court's emergency orders this summer (2) growing belief in the unitary executive theory (3) Likely to overrule Humphrey's executor  Consequences: Collapse of independent agencies and with it, governing stability.     What c3s can do:  Supreme court advocacy is nonpartisan—you are free to stand for or against cases before any court or get involved in the cases.   Litigation at the supreme court: c3s are often the best voice and represent groups who otherwise would not be heard or could not bring such large scale cases  Amicus briefs   Educating the public about cases and impacts of opinions  As you know c3 public charities may engage in lobbying and there are ways through lobbying that can affect the courts at the federal or maybe the state level  Nominee advocacy—Advocate for or against nominees to supreme court (lobbying)  Remember the lower district courts and circuit courts as well  Remember the lobbying rules if you are a c3: must track and report your lobbying the IRS and stay within your lobbying limits. Great place for c4s to get involved because they can lobbying in an unlimited amount.  Ethics advocacy—ask congress for more oversight or ethics rules (Lobbying if it will require a legislative vote).   Resources  Alliance for Justice, Being a Player  Alliance for Justice, Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices  Alliance for Justice, Judicial Nominee Tracker  Alliance for Justice, Supreme Court Reform 

Beyond The Baselines
Mentorship Is Advancement, Delegation And Extra-Curricular Work

Beyond The Baselines

by Ed Shanaphy, CMAA We often say “mentoring,” but what we really mean—especially within private clubs—is advancing. Mentorship is not simply guiding or teaching; it's creating an environment where your staff can grow, achieve, and in turn, enhance the member experience. Every interaction between staff and member is an opportunity to refine skill, build confidence, and elevate service. A club manager's greatest legacy is not the number of events executed or budgets balanced—it's the people they've advanced. Let's explore the three pillars that define true mentorship and the art of advancing your team. Delegation: The Art of Staying Away It's never easy to step back. Club managers often feel compelled to solve problems immediately or answer every member's question directly. But effective delegation is a deliberate act of trust. By creating space between yourself, your employee, and the member, you give staff the autonomy to think, act, and grow. This “space” is the classroom of real-world learning. When staff handle member concerns—without you stepping in—they develop confidence, accountability, and ownership. It may be uncomfortable at first, especially when mistakes occur, but that discomfort is often where growth begins. True mentoring means allowing your team to make—and learn from—those mistakes while providing them a framework to succeed the next time around. Education: The Time Required to Teach Both Staff and Membership Mentorship isn't only an internal process. In the private club world, education extends to the membership itself. Members often view every staff action as a direct reflection of the manager. Therefore, when staff are learning and developing, transparency is essential. Mentorship isn't only an internal process. In the private club world, education extends to the membership itself. Educating the board, committees, and membership about your mentoring approach helps manage expectations. It allows members to see the broader purpose behind delegating responsibility or giving a new team member more visibility. This communication builds understanding—and trust. When members recognize that your club is cultivating leaders, they become partners in that mission rather than critics of the process. The result? A more collaborative, supportive environment where both staff and members are invested in each other's success. Advancement: The Extra Credit Work of Great Leaders Here's the unspoken truth about being a great mentor: it means you'll be hiring more often. When you invest deeply in staff development, you inevitably create talent that's ready to move on—sometimes to new roles within the club, often to new opportunities in the wider industry, and occasionally to entirely new careers. That's not a loss; it's a sign of success. Each advancement reflects your ability to identify potential, nurture it, and prepare it for the next challenge. Your club gains a reputation as a place where professionals grow—and that attracts even stronger candidates in the future. Yes, mentoring creates more work: more coaching, more recruiting, more onboarding. But it also creates a culture of excellence and a network of alumni who carry your leadership principles into every role they take on. Conclusion: Mentorship as a Legacy To mentor is to advance—not just your staff, but your club's culture and future. Delegation allows learning to occur. Education aligns staff growth with member understanding. Advancement ensures your leadership extends far beyond your own tenure. A great manager measures success not by how indispensable they are, but by how capable their team becomes in their absence. Mentorship, then, is the art of making yourself unnecessary—because you've built a staff strong enough to lead without you.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Logan Chierotti, founder of Physician's Choice supplements, to dig into the in's and out's of building a high-growth company in the HALO space. Logan discusses his journey from working in digital marketing to launching what is now the top probiotic brand on Amazon, with annual revenues approaching $250 million. He opens up about the importance of focusing on value and science-backed products, the challenges of navigating both e-com and retail distribution, and the lessons learned in building a top-tier executive team. Whether you're a health club operator considering selling supplements or an entrepreneur looking for growth tips, you'll want to hear Logan's takeaways on company culture, self-awareness, and long-term success in a rapidly evolving, highly-competitive space. When it comes to educating customers beyond just price, Logan states, "We wanted to give consumers value. And what's nice is with the Internet or e-commerce or even . . . med spas or health clubs, is you can educate the consumer more, right? They come into your store or they come online and you have all the marketing there so you can really educate them as opposed to just dropping your product in Walmart, which is a pure brand or commodity game. People are buying there based on price or based on packaging, versus when you control the distribution channels, you can educate them a lot more." Key themes discussed Transition from e-commerce to retail distribution strategies. Building a high-quality executive and leadership team. Navigating retailer partnerships and managing risk. Importance of a singular brand focus: Probiotics and gut health. Educating versus marketing to the consumer. Value and growth of subscription business models. Founder self-awareness and letting go of ego. A Few Key Takeaways:  1. Hyper-Growth Through Strategic Focus: Logan shared how Physician's Choice grew quickly by narrowing their initial focus to just probiotics and gut health. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, they became the top probiotic brand by focusing on a science-backed, in-demand supplement. 2. Controlling Distribution—Don't Chase Every Retailer: Logan emphasized the importance of controlling your own distribution channels, especially in the early stages. He cautioned against being seduced by “sexy” big box retail deals, which often shift risk onto the product provider and can become a logistical and financial nightmare. Physician's Choice only says yes to retailers who agree to their terms. 3. Value-Driven Brand Built on Education: The brand positioned itself as a value brand—affordable, yet backed by science and trust in the name. They focused on educating consumers through controlled channels like e-commerce and social media rather than relying on traditional retail, where purchasing decisions are much more driven by price and packaging. 4. Building a Strong Executive Team: Chierotti's biggest learning was recognizing his own strengths and weaknesses early. He surrounded himself with a high-level executive team, brought in a CEO when the company reached a certain size, and freely gave equity to key hires. He stressed that hiring smart people and getting out of their way was crucial to scaling up. 5. The Power and Patience of the Subscription Model: About 40-50% of Physician's Choice revenue comes from subscriptions—compounded over years. Logan pointed out how businesses (health clubs, supplement companies, etc.) often underestimate how long and compounding subscription revenue can take to build, but if you stick with it and focus on customer retention, the growth will come.

On this episode, we sit down with Stacy Cushenbery, Senior Manager for Global Regenerative Agriculture at Oatly, to unpack how one of the world's most recognizable plant-based brands is tackling regeneration at scale. We explore why Oatly chose an “equivalent acres” approach instead of chasing identity-preserved sourcing, and how that decision balances procurement flexibility with landscape-level impact. We dive into why mill partners are the hidden backbone of their program — organizing farmers, shaping agronomy plans, and making regen real on the ground. Stacy shares the nuts and bolts of what practices Oatly is paying farmers to adopt, how much support they receive, and what the company has learned about building trust and iteration into the process. And finally, we go inside the business model — how Oatly calculated program costs down to a cost-per-liter of oat milk and embedded those expenses directly into procurement budgets. It's a conversation about pragmatism meeting ambition, about turning lofty sustainability goals into operational reality, and about how brands can work across systems to create genuine impact.

The Intrinsic Philosophy of Change Change from Within: We believe that the most enduring and meaningful transformations arise from the people most impacted—those who live within the system and carry its deepest insights. Embedded Transformation: Change is not an external imposition. It becomes intrinsic—woven into the identity of the individual, group, or organization. It's not just what they do differently; it's who they become. Unlocking Capacity: Our role is to help unlock the door to internal wisdom. When systems are open and safe enough to explore their own truths, remarkable growth becomes possible. Inside-Outside Strategy: This approach may take more time, but it yields outcomes that are more just, more fair, and more permanent. It's not about quick fixes—it's about cultivating sustainable evolution. Collaborative Discovery: We don't bring answers—we help uncover them. Our work is grounded in trust, curiosity, and the belief that every system holds the seeds of its own renewal.

Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Andy Taylor and Greg Fischer from RetroRate to discuss assumable loans and their potential to reshape real estate transactions. They explore the history and career paths of both founders, the challenges of discoverability in MLSs, and how RetroRate aims to make assumable loans more visible and accessible for agents, buyers, and sellers. Key Takeaways Backgrounds of the founders: Andy Taylor: From gaming at EA, to Apple, to Redfin, to startups like Approved and Credit Karma. Greg Fischer: From brokerage and realtor.com to innovative consumer tools like Doorsteps and Doorsteps Swipe. RetroRate's mission: Helps real estate professionals identify and transact on assumable loans. Assumable loans can drastically reduce monthly payments compared to current market rates. Market potential: 22–25% of homes on the market have an assumable loan, yet less than 1% are marketed that way. Properly marketed assumable loans can increase sale prices and attract more buyers. Challenges: Discoverability in MLSs—fields exist but are often unused or misunderstood. Educating agents and consumers on how assumables work. Equity gaps require creative solutions (cash, piggyback loans, or policy changes). Tools & partnerships: RetroRate offers an agent-facing platform, MLS integrations, and a Chrome extension (“RetroRate VHS”) to overlay assumable loan info on Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com. Engaging with MLSs and realtor organizations to standardize data fields and improve adoption. Call to action: MLSs, brokers, and agents should connect with RetroRate to make assumable loans more visible and usable for clients.

But sometimes I wonder if we do as well at equipping people for the work of teh ministry. That's topic of today's show! Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together!

Contact the radio station or leave a review on your favorite app. We want to hear from you! Teaching and Equipping I. Introduction • Many churches excel at teaching but struggle with equipping. The result is knowledge without action, or action without foundation. • How do teaching and equipping differ, and how should they work together in the life of the church? ⸻ II. Defining the Terms A. Teaching • Imparting knowledge, doctrine, and biblical truth. • Scripture: B. Equipping • Preparing believers with tools, skills, and confidence to serve and live out their faith. VI. The Role of Leaders and Members A. Leaders' Responsibility • To both teach and equip. • 1 Timothy 4:11–12 – “These things command and teach. Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” B. Members' Responsibility • To move from being hearers to active participants in ministry. • Hebrews 10:24–25 – “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” ⸻ VII. Practical Challenges • Overemphasis on knowledge can create spiritual spectators. • Overemphasis on activity without grounding leads to burnout or error. • Baptist churches must intentionally integrate both for effective discipleship. ⸻ Teaching informs; equipping transforms. Teaching fills the mind; equipping activates the hands and heart. Both are necessary for a healthy, missional church. ⸻ Teaching Transfers Information; Equipping Shapes People • Teaching is about what you know. Equipping is about who you become and what you do. • Example: The Pharisees were excellent teachers of the Law, but they failed to equip people to live it (Matthew 23:3).

Drawing inspiration from Kristina Kuzmič's powerful memoir I Can Fix This and Other Lies I Told Myself While Parenting My Struggling Child, they explore what it really means to show up for a loved one in crisis.Carrie and Jessica emphasize the life-saving importance of listening without judgment, validating feelings, and knowing when to seek professional help. They discuss how friends and family can provide steady support, the courage it takes to involve emergency services when necessary, and the often-overlooked impact on siblings and other relatives. Throughout the conversation, they remind parents and caregivers that being present, offering kindness, and educating yourself about mental-health resources can make an immeasurable difference.Key TakeawaysListening to a child who expresses suicidal thoughts is crucial.Validation matters more than quick solutions.Professional help is essential for both the individual and their support network.Support groups and community resources bring understanding and hope.Check in on siblings and other family members affected by a loved one's struggles.Seeking emergency help, though difficult, can be an act of profound love.Trust is vital when someone opens up about their pain.Simply showing up—being present—can be life-changing.Educating yourself about mental-health resources strengthens your ability to help.Small acts of encouragement and kindness can have a lasting impact.This episode offers a compassionate roadmap for parents, caregivers, and friends who want to support someone grappling with suicidal thoughts, while reminding listeners that no one has to face this journey alone.Suicide Hotline 988Some laws that enable families to get help for their loved ones. Please check with your state to see what is available in your area.Florida | Baker Act (Florida Mental Health Act) | Involuntary examination / detention for up to 72 hours if a person is a danger to self or others or is unable to care for themselves due to mental illness. California | “5150 hold” / Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act | 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold for danger to self or others or grave disability. There are also longer holds or civil commitment under further statutes. New York | Kendra's Law (Assisted Outpatient Treatment / AOT) | Court-ordered outpatient treatment for individuals meeting certain criteria (history of hospitalizations, danger to self/others, etc). Helps ensure follow-through in the community rather than only inpatient. California | Laura's Law | Similar to Kendra's Law; allows for court-ordered outpatient treatment, under certain criteria, in counties that opt in.

What happens when a family faced with an extreme medical crisis approaches a traditional law firm with concerns about paying for their health care expenses or worried about keeping the family home? Instead of being met with compassion and clarity, the family typically experiences confusion, frustration, and high legal fees. That was the painful reality Jeffrey Bellomo's family faced when he was a young law student, and his mother became seriously ill. As a result, Jeff promised his mother that he would find a better way to work with families.   The evolution of Bellomo & Associates is based on a vision of a new kind of estate planning and elder care law firm—one dedicated to free education for people working in health care, finance, and the law, as well as members of the community. Jeff shares the story that shaped his firm. Along the way, he recounts the origin and growth of his professional, accredited boot camps and the workshops that build relationships through transparency and communication in multiple areas of estate planning and elder law.   Jeff founded Bellomo & Associates in 2009. He believed back then, and he is certain today, that relationships are the real currency of a lasting legal practice.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Angus Rittenburg, Co-Founder and CEO of WYNK, to explore one of the fastest-growing trends in the beverage industry: low-dose THC drinks. Angus shared his incredible journey from engineering at Tesla and SpaceX to launching a scrappy startup with a vision for healthier, more social alternatives to alcohol. What struck me most was how much of WYNK's story is about holding onto a vision—even when the path forward wasn't clear and staying scrappy, adaptable, and true to quality. In this episode, Angus and I discuss everything from his early mentor, who taught him to value education over money, to the inventive mobile production systems that helped WYNK break into multiple states, to the massive regulatory unlock that allowed hemp-derived THC beverages to finally reach mainstream shelves.  Along the way, we also explored the challenges of consumer education, the better-for-you movement in beverages, and what it takes to not just build a product but build a category. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: * How a mentor's belief in vision over money shaped Angus's entrepreneurial journey * The scrappy origins of WYNK and how a mobile canning trailer became the company's launchpad * Why low-dose THC beverages are poised to disrupt alcohol consumption trends * The regulatory shifts that allowed WYNK to expand beyond dispensaries into bars, restaurants, and liquor stores * How WYNK is investing in quality and compliance to build not just a brand, but an entire category Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this fascinating episode of 'The Story of a Brand,' where we explore the vision, challenges, and triumphs behind WYNK, a brand rewriting the rules for social beverages.   For more on WYNK, visit: https://drinkwynk.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: 1 Commerce: https://1-commerce.com/story-of-a-brand Scaling a DTC brand becomes harder the bigger you grow, especially when you're limited to selling on just one channel.  While you're focused on day-to-day ops, your competitors are unlocking marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, and even retail shelf space—and capturing customers you're missing.

Two decades after the terror attacks of September 11th, the memories of where we were and what we saw are seared into our brains. All these years later there is a large, and growing number of Americans that were either too young or not born yet to have any connection to the day that changed the course our history. Now, parents and educators face the task of teaching the young to 'never forget' the events of that day. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Elizabeth L. Hillman, president and CEO of the 'National 9/11 Memorial & Museum' in New York City, who says they have turned to innovative ways to make sure future generations learn about what happened on that day.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of on Labor Day! Critics of President Trump's executive order on American flag burning have not read it and are misrepresenting it, as the order creates no new laws or offenses. It does not run counter to the 1989 5-4 Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson. Unsurprisingly, most of the media jumped the gun and their favorite NeverTrumpers (among others) joined in the chorus, accusing the president of lawlessness, etc. Also, France's Emmanuel Macron is a disgusting quisling. He thinks it's still Vichy France, where he'd be more comfortable. Kudos to our Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner for calling out antisemitism in France. Also, CNN and similar media are biased against Supreme Court conservatives like Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Alito, who are accused of being "out of control" while upholding the Constitution in rulings favoring the Trump administration on issues like immigration and spending and DEI. Afterward, On Power explains that negative power, particularly its soft form, exists in both open and closed societies and is increasingly prevalent in democracies like America. It emphasizes that a universal order—encompassing nature, morality, values, and beliefs—precedes, transcends, and outlasts all governments, which are temporary human constructs imposing limits on individuals. Humans are not inherently subjects of rulers or governments but are governed by an unamendable supreme law. Valid governments must align with this universal order, while soft negative power persists in civil society (via laws, customs, or social contracts like Locke's) to maintain order, prevent anarchy, and protect individual liberty—even in the best governments. People vote for tyranny then when it takes hold it's too late - that's what will happen if Zohran Mamdani becomes Mayor of NYC. Later, the question media pundits keep asking: what is happening to the democrat party? What happened is that the people have learned a great deal about the Democrat Party and its ideologies over the years and they don't like it. Ideas do have consequences. Educating and reading remain crucial. Unfortunately, too many people with microphones and TV cameras have forgotten about this. Scholarship, history, philosophy still matter. They have always mattered. It's called getting back to basics. Getting back to our founding principles, beliefs, and values, and exposing those who seek to pervert, undermine, and destroy them. The Democrat Party is struggling and failing because it stands for virtually everything most Americans reject. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Educating and reading remain crucial. Unfortunately, too many people with microphones and TV cameras have forgotten about this. Scholarship, history, philosophy still matter. They have always mattered. The gunman responsible for the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis has been identified as transgender Robin Westman. Westman opened fire through the stained-glass windows during a celebratory mass, killing two children and injuring 17 others, including 14 kids. A manifesto reveals his psychotic obsession with mass shooters and includes anti-Semitic statements about "filthy Zionist Jews." It's sickening that people will inject their politics into this event. Evil and sick individuals will commit harmful acts regardless of circumstances. Former prosecutors and left-wing mayors blame society or weapons, but that blame leads nowhere. What's happening is the attack on faith. Faith is pushed out of the classroom and the public square. For a mayor to say don't talk about prayer, he's missing the point. Faith has turned a lot of people around; there can never be enough prayer. The United States is one of the most religious countries in the world. We have the freedom to practice any belief we would like, thanks to the Declaration of Independence. American society distinguishes between faith's role in personal life, community, and government, recognizing it as a moral and psychological foundation that influences behavior and promotes civility. Christianity, while the majority faith, does not seek governmental control, allowing faith and reason to coexist and enrich personal and societal development. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the question media pundits keep asking: what is happening to the democrat party? What happened is that the people have learned a great deal about the Democrat Party and its ideologies over the years and they don't like it. Ideas do have consequences. Educating and reading remain crucial. Unfortunately, too many people with microphones and TV cameras have forgotten about this. Scholarship, history, philosophy still matter. They have always mattered. It's called getting back to basics. Getting back to our founding principles, beliefs, and values, and exposing those who seek to pervert, undermine, and destroy them. The Democrat Party is struggling and failing because it stands for virtually everything most Americans reject. Also, the American people elected President Trump in a massive landslide, saving the country from four more years of destructive policies like open borders, anti-military degradation, and campus marches chanting "from the river to the sea." We should not be complacent in the midterms. Also, the U.S. has offered to provide intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), command and control, and air defense assets to support a European-led security plan for postwar Ukraine, including participation in an air shield and no-fly zone enforcement. This includes US aircraft, logistics, and radar to enable European troop deployments, while monitoring ceasefires via superior satellite capabilities. This is necessary. Later, Democrats support violent criminals, while Trump is quickly controlling crime in Washington, D.C., by enforcing the law with police backed by the National Guard. Finally, by 2040 Islam could surpass Judaism as the nation's second-largest religion. America's Christian foundations—rooted in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and devotion to God—are eroding due to silence and fear. Learn more about your ad choices.
