On the first day of a camp where Alan teaches teens entrepreneurial skills, a student said, “You’re a Christian, aren’t you? I can tell.” Before Alan said he was a Christian or wore his favorite socks and ties decorated with Christian symbols, the teen said he saw Jesus through Alan’s words, actions, and attitude. They discussed how they could better represent Jesus wherever they go. Saying we’re Christian and wearing clothes with Christian messages are good things. However, the Bible teaches that the way we live and love as we share the gospel are the true identifiers of those who follow Jesus. The apostle Paul and the other believers in Corinth were compelled, or driven, to please God by living with an eternal perspective while sharing Him with others (2 Corinthians 5:9-14). When we’re committed to living for Jesus instead of for ourselves, the Holy Spirit changes our perspective, character, priorities, and ways of interacting with others (vv. 15-17). Our new life in Christ is intended to represent Him while we point others to Him, “as though God were making his appeal through us” (vv. 18-20). Empowered by the Spirit, we’re given the joy and responsibility of representing Jesus wherever we go.

Tom Molenaar: When Product Owners “Eat the Grass” for Their Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Vision Catalyst "This PO had the ability to communicate the vision and enthusiasm about the product, even I felt inspired." Tom describes an exceptional Product Owner who could communicate vision and enthusiasm so effectively that even he, as the Scrum Master, felt inspired about the product. This PO excelled at engaging teams in product discovery techniques, helping them move from merely delivering features to taking outcome responsibility. The PO introduced validation techniques, brought customers directly to the office for interviews, and consistently showed the team the impact of their work, creating a strong connection between engineers and end users. The Bad Product Owner: The Micromanager "This PO was basically managing the team with micro-managing approach, this blocked the team from self-organizing." Tom encountered a Product Owner who was too controlling, essentially micromanaging the team instead of empowering them. This PO hosted daily stand-ups, assigned individual tasks, and didn't give the team space for self-organization. When Tom investigated the underlying motivation, he discovered the PO believed that without tight control, the team would underperform. Tom helped the PO understand the benefits of trusting the team and worked with both sides to clarify roles and responsibilities, moving from micromanagement to empowerment. In this segment, we refer to the book “Empowered” by Marty Cagan.

In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay sits down with Tiffany Ozone, a brave mom who moved her family from survival mode to sustainable progress with her son's ADHD. Tiffany opens up about the hard parts, walking on eggshells, losing friends, school crises, and a medication rollercoaster that ultimately led to an ER visit. Her story is honest, real, and packed with the kind of hope you can only get from someone who's lived it.Dana and Tiffany trace the turning points: stepping off the “more meds” treadmill, embracing a comprehensive natural approach, running functional testing, changing routines and food, and focusing on relationship-based parenting. Early wins like calmer bedtimes, better sleep, and real dinner-table conversations built into bigger shifts of self-advocacy at school, communication, and a family trip that once felt impossible. If you've ever wondered whether change is possible, this conversation is for you.

Tom Molenaar: How to Spot and Fix Lack of Trust in Scrum Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "When people don't speak up, it's because there's no trust. The team showed that they did not feel free to express their opinions." Tom describes working with a team that appeared to be performing well on the surface - they were reaching their goals and had processes in place. However, deeper observation revealed a troubling dynamic: a few dominant voices controlled discussions while half the team remained silent during ceremonies. Through one-on-ones, Tom discovered team members felt judged and unsafe to express their ideas. Using the Lencioni Pyramid as a framework, he helped the team address the fundamental lack of trust that was preventing constructive conflict and genuine collaboration. Featured Book of the Week: Empowered by Marty Cagan Tom recommends "Empowered" by Marty Cagan as a book that significantly influenced his approach to team coaching. The book focuses on empowering teams and organizations to deliver great products while developing ordinary people into extraordinary performing teams. Tom appreciates its well-structured approach that covers all necessary elements without getting lost in details. The book provides practical tools for effective coaching, including techniques for regular one-on-ones, active listening, constructive feedback, setting clear expectations, celebrating success, and creating a culture of learning from failure.

Your body knows before your mind can explain. We sat down with Jen to unpack how simple, intentional gestures can translate hard-to-name emotions into clear signals you can act on, turning anxious contraction into grounded expansion without forcing, fixing, or faking it. Her journey—from feeling “not smart” in test-driven classrooms to discovering kinesthetic and emotional intelligence—led to a somatic method that has helped thousands reclaim presence, confidence, and self-trust.Jen walks us through the Power of Gesture, a research-informed practice born on Zoom during the pandemic, where hands became a precise instrument for nervous system regulation and emotional clarity. You'll hear why bodyset complements mindset, how 40,000+ nerve endings in your hands act like a truth-telling interface, and what changes when we treat emotions as teachers rather than problems. We explore leadership as an embodied skill—vital for parents, educators, coaches, and executives—rooted in noticing contraction, honoring it, and choosing expansion on purpose.You'll also learn the GIFT framework: Ground to settle your system, Imagine the scene to access sensation, Feel through a fitting gesture, and Transform by linking that first state to an expansive second one. We dig into self-hop—the idea that you're not broken and don't need fixing—and what makes Your Body Is Speaking a different kind of mind-body book for somatic healing, emotional resilience, intuitive living, and women's leadership. If you've been carrying unprocessed grief, post-pandemic stress, or recurring self-doubt, this conversation offers practical tools you can use today.If this resonates, tap follow, share with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find these tools. Your body is speaking—ready to listen?BioJen Aks journey to leadership and embodiment work began as a self-conscious student, sitting in traditional classrooms where she felt invisible. She failed to fit into the education system's narrow definition of intelligence and dealt with crippling self-doubt because of it.

This week, Tee welcomes R Blank, CEO of Shield Your Body and author of the new book Empowered. Together, they dive into one of the most overlooked health issues of our modern age — electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation — and how it's quietly impacting our sleep, health, and well-being. R shares insights from years of research, including working alongside his father, renowned EMF scientist Dr. Martin Blank, to break down the science behind EMFs — from the spectrum of radiation to the crucial difference between ionizing and non-ionizing types. He also debunks the myth that non-ionizing radiation is harmless, citing studies that link everyday exposure to serious health effects, including sleep disruption, fertility issues, and even cancer. Listeners will walk away with practical, easy-to-implement strategies to reduce EMF exposure — from simple behavioral changes and distance tactics to using shielding technologies like the SYB Phone Pouch and SYB Wrist Band. R also discusses why children are particularly vulnerable and shares safer alternatives to high-EMF devices like baby monitors and wearables. The episode explores how cumulative and concurrent exposures add up over time, why even small changes can make a difference, and how we can embrace technology without compromising our health. R's actionable tips for creating low-EMF bedrooms and safer personal spaces make this a must-listen for anyone looking to make informed, proactive choices in our increasingly wireless world.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Bill Haas of Auto Ignite Management and Matt Wagg of Accelerated Diagnostics and Automotive, who also coaches with Auto Ignite, dive deep into a topic often overlooked yet critically important for automotive repair shops: the power of robust systems and processes. Too many shops rely on inconsistent, informal methods of “this is how we did it yesterday.” The result? Fluctuating outcomes, missed opportunities, and daily frustration. Imagine four technicians completing a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) in four different ways, which can be confusing for staff, stressful for owners, and costly for customers. The solution is a unified process that everyone follows to deliver consistent results. “Without systems, the owner becomes the system.” Every decision rests on the owner's shoulders, trapping them in the daily grind.  Leaders must shift from being “needed” to being “required”: their role is to create the environment for success, not micromanage. Systems Win Wars: As Carm Capriotto said, strong systems are the foundation of a profitable and enjoyable business. Breaking Free from Chaos: Inconsistent methods (“this is how we did it yesterday”) lead to stress, missed opportunities, and fluctuating results. The Owner's Dilemma: Without systems, the owner becomes the system. Matt Wagg's injury showed the necessity of trusting people and processes. Profit Through Process: Profitability is tied directly to defined, repeatable steps. Systems also eliminate business “friction” and make operations easier. Key Benefits of Documented Processes: Faster, smoother training & onboarding. Clear accountability for both staff and owners. Ongoing continuous improvement to adapt and grow Empower Your Team: Trust the people you've hired. Give them processes and training, then step back. Empowered teams drive success, customer satisfaction, and owner freedom. Takeaway: Strong systems aren't just about profit; they create happier teams, better customer experiences, and sustainable growth.

What if aging wasn't something to fear but something to embrace? What if those gray hairs and laugh lines weren't signs of decline but badges of wisdom and life fully lived? Natasha Harding, pro-aging maverick and Golden Bachelor contestant, joins Lynnis Woods-Mullins to flip the script on aging. With refreshing candor and infectious energy, they explore why the space between our ears—our mindset—is the most crucial factor in how we experience growing older."We are changing, we are shifting the narrative, and we are cutting a new path," Natasha declares, challenging listeners to reject limiting beliefs about what aging should look like. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, she reveals how her own journey led her to champion pro-aging after witnessing too many women diminish themselves because of a number.The conversation tackles eye-opening realities: women over 50 control $19 trillion in global spending yet receive only 5% of advertising attention. Studies show positive thinking about aging literally extends lifespan. Simple habits like walking 30 minutes daily can add seven years to your life.Both women share their experiences embracing gray hair, adapting to changing bodies, and finding renewed purpose during what Natasha calls "the adolescence of adulthood." This perspective normalizes midlife uncertainty and reframes it as an opportunity for exciting reinvention.Whether you're approaching midlife, in the thick of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing alternative to anti-aging messaging. Listen now to discover how to age with confidence, clarity and vibrant energy—because those six inches between your ears really do count.Bio Natascha Hardee is a pro-aging coach and midlife speaker who is a former contestant on the reality television shows The Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. She is known for her energetic personality and desire to inspire others to embrace aging.  After experiencing many misdiagnoses for her perimenopause symptoms, Hardee became an advocate for other women navigating midlife changes. She uses her platform to share information and build a community for women to discuss challenges like menopause, changing identity, and aging parents. She encourages people to "age in excellence" on her social media. Hardee was on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor in 2023, where she sought love with lead Gerry Turner. Though she was eliminated early, she gained valuable experience, stating, "I learned how to date" after having not dated in seven years while raising her granddaughter. In 2025, she appeared on season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise.Social Media InstagramTikTocWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.
