Cary Williams' journey is a true testament to resilience and the power of perseverance. She's not just an entrepreneur and the founder of Tussle Gear—she's someone who has weathered the highs and lows of life and learned the most valuable lessons during the most challenging times. For Cary, success isn't just about hitting milestones—it's about how you rise when things go wrong, how you keep moving forward no matter the hurdles in your path.A pivotal moment from Cary's childhood shaped who she is today. At just eight years old, she wanted to walk to the store alone but was terrified of a group of girls in her neighborhood who often picked on her. Instead of stepping in to protect her, her dad handed her a stick and told her, “You've got this. Take control.” Though it seemed simple at the time, this small but powerful gesture taught Cary that facing her fears was a decision she had to make herself. It was the beginning of her journey toward independence and strength, a foundation that would carry her through life's challenges.Quotes:● "The only way through fear is to face it head-on." – Cary Williams● "It's not about waiting for things to get easier, it's about deciding you're going to keep going, no matter what." – Cary Williams● "I've learned that failure isn't the end—it's just the beginning of something new." – Cary WilliamsTakeaways:● Fear doesn't go away on its own. The only way through it is to face it and keep moving forward.● Life's challenges don't define you. It's your response to them that shapes who you become.● There's power in failure—it's where you learn the most and find your true strength.Conclusion: Cary's story teaches us that success isn't about avoiding failure—it's about how we respond to it. By facing fears, overcoming setbacks, and continuing to push forward, we can take control of our lives and create something meaningful. Cary's journey shows that no matter what life throws at you, you have the strength to rise, rebuild, and make the life you want. With courage and determination, we can all rewrite our stories.

Sergei Kaminskiy stated his empire by taking jobs that he didn't know how to do and then hiring a professional to learn from. Wow. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients so here's one of those. [Tapper's Jewelry Ad] Stephen Semple: Hey, it's Stephen Semple here, and yes, it's unusual, I'm opening the episode. We've given Dave Young the week off because he's been working really hard lately. And I managed to meet Sergei Kaminskiy. We had a bit of a brief conversation and I was immediately, "Dude, I got to get you onto the podcast." There were so many things we talked about that were just really, really great lessons and he's in the home services business. We're going to be talking about handyman, but this is applicable to all sorts of different businesses. But the first thing that fascinated me was really how you got started in the handyman business before creating the franchise model. Tell me about the start, that was just a cool story. Sergei Kaminskiy: Yeah, I got married. I was really young, I was just 19 years old. Stephen Semple: Right there tells us you're a little nuts, but... Sergei Kaminskiy: I look at 19 year olds now and I'm like, "You're not ready to get married." But anyhow, we got married and then about three months into it, we look at the bank account, there's about $70 in the bank account. And here I am, I'm working as a framing contractor, I mean as a framer for a framing contractor and making $17 an hour. I went to the owner of the business and I said, "Hey, Jim, can I get a raise? I bought a truck, I bought the tools." And he goes, "Sergei, you are already making pretty much at the top of what framers make." And he was right, they were already compensating me fairly, but yet, it was not enough for us to make ends meet. My wife brought in a nice BMW into the marriage that we had to make payments on, and by the time we did all the things we had to do, we were running out of money. So I told my wife, I said, "Listen, what I do know is that I can do a business on a small scale. I can do some handyman work, I can take on some side jobs." Going to my parents and asking them for money was not an option. I said, "I have to figure out a way to make this thing work." And so literally it was raining outside that day, and we went to the club room of our apartment complex. There was a little room with a computer and a printer. We didn't even have a computer or a printer in our apartment, so we started our business with no computer, no printer, nothing. Literally went to the complex and printed out 25 flyers. I designed them on Microsoft Word and I had little palm trees around the piece of paper, and it says San Diego County. Stephen Semple: I bet you wish now that you had some old copies of those. Sergei Kaminskiy: I have a photo actually. Stephen Semple: Do you really? Sergei Kaminskiy: Yes. Stephen Semple: Oh my God, you've got to send that to me. You have to send that to me. Sergei Kaminskiy: It's amazing, so literally printed out these flyers. It's raining outside, we wrapped them real nice with the bow. And I'm running door to door as Elena's driving in the rain, and she's kind of following me as I'm running door to door. I pass out about 25 flyers and I'm like, "Oh, great, we passed out some flyers. Let's wait for the phone to ring." And sure enough, one guy called me. One guy called me and he said, "I need some service done on one of the rental units that I own.

Turkey's Islamist proxies have seized most of Syria. Now it wants an end to U.S. and other international sanctions on an al Qaeda-linked group controlling much of that long-suffering country. Those include a 10 million dollar bounty on its leader, known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, for the murder of Americans, among others. A multi-national delegation is in Damascus today, presumably for that purpose. After all, the Biden administration lavished money and arms on another bunch of Sharia-supremacists with American blood their hands when the Taliban seized Afghanistan. Acceding to the Turks' plans to have jihadists next dominate post-Assad Syria would help them create a neo-Ottoman empire there and far beyond. To that end, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is preparing to exterminate Syria's Kurds and possibly others. We must stand squarely against, not effectively greenlight, such further crimes against humanity. This is Frank Gaffney.

From 1845 to 1865 the Gulf of Mexico was at the center of American expansion and southern imperialism. A Continuous State of War: Empire Building and Race Making in the Civil War–Era Gulf South (University of Georgia Press, 2024) by Dr. Maria Angela Diaz tells the story of several communities, such as Galveston, New Orleans, and Pensacola, as well as countries such as Mexico and Cuba, to uncover the way that wars within the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico facilitated American and southern attempts to conquer Latin American nations. In the push for westward expansion that preceded the Civil War, white southerners along with other Americans engaged in violent conquest in Latin America and the American West. Through the wars that are chronicled here, white southern concepts of race became more rigidly fixed. Dr. Maria Angela Diaz covers several conflicts leading up to the Civil War with Mexicans, Cubans, and Native Americans. She places the Civil War within this framework and follows the trajectory of relations with Latin America through the end of the Civil War and ex-Confederates' attempts to emigrate abroad. Gulf Coast communities facilitated both the physical efforts to seize territory and the construction of the highly racialized imperialist ideas that reimagined Latin America as a region that could secure the South's future. Yet the pursuit of that territory created a fluctuating and uncertain situation that shaped the choices of the diverse peoples who lived along the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico in ways they did not expect. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The details of how a sidelined theology became the mainstream have always been obscure but fascinating, an indication of a powerful hold that a spiritual movement exerted in just a few generations. But what if thinking about the emergence of Christianity as a folk tradition is all wrong? What if it sprang, fully formed, from the minds of the Flavian Emperors who wanted to negotiate a lasting peace with the messianic Jews besieging Rome? We untangle the fantastic story of Christianity and Empire with Warren Fahy, independent scholar and best-selling author of CREATING CHRIST: How the Roman Emperors Invented Christianity.

Whether we know it or not - all human beings have an internal thermostat, a certain level of abundance, joy or success we're calibrated to. If we're not careful, that level can make us blow up our lives and self-sabotage when we get everything we've always wanted. Call it your comfort zone, your average or your upper limit problem, this internal temperature gauge runs our lives, and often runs us into the ground if we don't do something about it. Our comfort zones are wrapped up in our identity, and anytime we have to assume a new identity, our brains can fight us and ratchet us down to the standard they are used to. It's how we can lose all the weight and then start eating junk food, or how we can achieve a financial goal and then make a bad decision with money. Without fixing this problem, we're doomed to create unnecessary drama in our lives, constantly sabotage ourselves, taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back. How do we become aware of our own upper limit and start to raise the temperature? Real estate leader, entrepreneur, coach, speaker and Head of Industry at PLACE, Vija Williams talks about how a season of intense personal growth helped her break through her upper limit problem and become 100 times lighter emotionally. Quotes Conquering some upper limit problems is the number 1 most important thing I've done. -Vija Williams 90% of getting past an upper limit problem is just awareness. Anytime you see yourself sabotaging, take some white space time and ask, “what am I not admitting to myself right now?” -Vija Williams I have learned to think in questions, not answers. -Vija Williams I'm a big fan of asking myself questions, that's my awareness tool. -Kevin Kauffman Key Points How to identify an upper limit problem A sure sign of having an upper limit problem is sabotaging yourself when you've succeeded at something or got what you want. You hit your weight loss target and immediately binge on junk food. You make money and then go and spend a ton of money unnecessarily. In real estate, it's having a really great listing appointment but procrastinating and failing to follow up. All these are signs that we're trying to ratchet our lives back down to an underlying identity. Crossover self-sabotage Upper limit problems don't always manifest in the same place. Instead of sabotaging your weight loss results by eating a bunch of junk food, you could lose weight and then go and needlessly spend a bunch of money. You can actually cross-sabotage ourselves without even knowing it by blowing your life up in a completely different area. Intense Clusters of Growth Personal growth can happen gradually over time, but sometimes we go through intense clusters of personal growth that concentrate the learning and also concentrate the results. Often we'll feel that we're gaining momentum, and no one sees it, and that's the hardest part of the journey. If you're still going through the process, and it seems like no one's seeing it, keep going. If you keep your eye on the prize, the change in you will become very obvious on the surface. The right question, not the right answer Asking ourselves questions is one of the most powerful awareness we have. When we're aware enough of what's going on in our lives, we can ask ourselves high quality questions that move the needle. In coaching, a session should end with the right focusing question, not the answer. Then someone sits down and unpeels the layers to get to the right thing for them. Sneaky ways your upper limit problem creeps up on us Another sneaky way an upper limit problem presents itself is avoiding taking risks to create or maintain stability. It's having all the money to buy an investment property and just not being able to pull the trigger. It might also manifest in an inability to celebrate big wins, or having an unquenchable, undisciplined pursuit of more.
