0:00 - The Avs actually trailed the Kraken at one point last night. It actually happened! A team had a lead over the Avs! But Colorado battled back with 3 goals in the 3rd period to drown the Kraken.

America's food independence is collapsing in real time — and almost nobody is talking about it. In this explosive episode of the Survival & Basic Badass Podcast, we rip the curtain off the terrifying truth: • The U.S. is now running a RECORD $49.5 BILLION food trade deficit in 2025 • We import more food than ever while domestic production craters • The average American farmer is almost 60 years old and retiring with no one to replace them • Insane labor laws, sky-high regulations, and emotion-driven bans are crushing U.S. growers… while imported food from Mexico and beyond skates by with almost zero oversight • If global shipping stops tomorrow (war, blockade, cyberattack), grocery shelves go EMPTY in days This isn't fear porn — this is math, USDA data, and cold hard reality. Whether you're a hardcore prepper, a homesteader, or just someone who likes eating, you NEED to hear this episode before it's too late. ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: The nightmare scenario nobody wants to face 03:12 – The $49.5 billion food trade deficit nobody's talking about 12:05 – Why the American farmer is going extinct (average age 58+) 25:30 – The regulatory double-standard destroying U.S. agriculture 40:15 – Labor laws & costs that make growing food here impossible 50:20 – What YOU must do RIGHT NOW to food-proof your family Stock up. Grow something. Support local. Because when the trucks stop rolling, the government isn't coming to save you.

Empty worship, copies of temples, and priests in rooms full of… nothing. Have you ever felt like you were going through the motions, but God wasn't there? In today's episode, Sam, John, and Ron welcome Frank Viola and pepper him with questions about his Restoration Appreciation presentation at Great Lakes Christian College. Hear why Frank claims, 'The old work of God usually attacks or dismisses the new work of God,' and how we can be careful not to be part of that old work which attacks the new. How can we discern God's movements so that we are not left going through the motions in empty rooms?  We encourage you to check out more from Frank on YouTube  

BT unleashes his frustration over the disappointing 2025 MLB offseason for both the Yankees and Mets, comparing the lack of major moves to a "snowball fight" that never materialized. He dissects the confusing state of both New York cores, noting the scarcity of solidified positions for either club. Tierney lays out the Yankees' dilemma: relying on a "phenomenal" rotation (Cole, Freed, Schlittler, McClain) while simultaneously "praying" that the price doesn't go up on Cody Bellinger. He argues that acquiring only a pitcher like Michael King is not an acceptable plan. For the Mets, the chaos is clearer: a dismantled core with "a million questions" at every turn, including the ongoing possibility of a Francisco Lindor trade and the debate over the future of prospects like Ben Rice at first base. BT concludes that the clock is running out, and a "very dark and very empty offseason" is becoming a frightening reality for New York baseball.

When I led a ministry for moms of preschoolers, we hunted for an image to describe the unending demands that mothers experience. Changing diapers. Wiping noses. Picking up toys. It turns out the image was right in front of us: a disposable juice box, collapsed in on itself. Moms can feel like empty juice boxes. That ministry served moms by leading them to the Source of living water that can fill them to the full—Jesus. In John 7, Jesus went to the Festival of Tabernacles (v. 12), commemorating God’s provision during the Israelites’ wilderness wanderings. This festival included a water-pouring rite symbolizing the fruitfulness that only moisture produces and foreshadowed the spiritual rain the Messiah would bring. Jesus fulfills what the ancient festival anticipated. “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (vv. 37-38). At times, we can feel like empty containers. Weary from caregiving. Worn from working. Exhausted by everyday responsibilities. The unending demands draw us dry! But when we live in relationship with God, He provides springs of living water within our heart to refresh and refuel us no matter how many cares and concerns try to drain us.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Alisha Esmail from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to unpack a founder truth most people avoid. Burnout is not a badge, it's a bottleneck. Alisha shares how burning out three times forced her to rebuild her business approach with stronger systems, clearer priorities, and a “harmony over balance” mindset. They break down her Five Tanks Framework (emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual) and a practical daily check-in to spot depletion before it snowballs. They also get real about using AI and automation to buy back time without losing the human edge. If you're building a company, leading a team, or just tired of the hustle narrative, this one is a clean reset. About the Guest: Alisha Esmail is a purpose-led founder behind one of Canada's recognized coffee brands and a builder working at the intersection of AI, human performance, and sustainability. She teaches founders how to reduce burnout through systems, clarity, and her Five Tanks Framework. Key Takeaways: Burnout repeats when recovery is treated like a break, not a redesign of how you operate. “Harmony” beats “balance”. Some seasons require intensity, but the system has to pay you back with time later. The line between healthy intensity and overextension is context. Most “emergencies” can wait till tomorrow. Use the “three cards” rule. Limit how often you pull people into after-hours work so you don't burn out the team. Five Tanks Framework is universal: emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual. The refill method can vary by personality and season. A fast daily audit works: draw five circles, label the tanks, score each 1 to 10, then act on the lowest tank first. Empty tanks show up as short temper, conflict, anxiety, spiraling thoughts, and feeling out of control. AI should not replace thinking. It should remove repetitive tasks so founders stay in strategy, creativity, and leadership. Practical AI win: rewrite intense messages to reduce conflict and prevent “emotional shrapnel” in relationships. Scarcity is not a reason to self-destruct. It can be a forcing function for creativity and smarter leverage. Clarity kills chaos: define your real end goal, then work backward instead of sprinting toward a vague “success.” Community Guidelines Check (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn): Not violating.

In this conversation, Darin sits down with his longtime friend, athlete, and powerhouse human Gabby Reece to talk about what it really takes to grow up without shutting down. They go into childhood chaos, the gift and cost of competitiveness, and what it means to stay "dangerous" in the best way as you age — in your body, your relationships, and your purpose. Gabby opens up about losing her father young, being uprooted from the Caribbean, using sport as a lifeline, and eventually navigating fame, motherhood, and a marriage with Laird Hamilton under intense pressure. She and Darin get radically honest about boundaries, addiction, partnership, sleep, hormones, and why women's wisdom in midlife is massively undervalued.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to chat with Leslie Forde about the unrealistic expectations of modern parenthood.  Leslie's work is such a gift for those of us trying to do it all—and slowly realizing that “it all” was never sustainable in the first place. We talk about how burnout shows up, why moms in particular are feeling crushed under the weight of impossible schedules, and how to find moments of restoration that are actually doable in real life. We explore what it means to reclaim rest, joy, and self-trust—and why giving ourselves permission to stop striving for perfection isn't indulgent, it's necessary. Alright folks, let's dive in.

When two employees of Handy Dan hardware store gave this idea to management, they got fired! So, they started Home Depot. Someone’s kicking themselves now! 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. [No Bull RV Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young. That’s Steve Semple whispering in your other ear. And on today’s episode of the Empire Builders- Stephen Semple: [inaudible 00:01:44] your live stereo. Dave Young: We knew that it would only be a matter of time having so recently discussed the Lowe’s Empire that we would be discussing Home Depot, and today is that day. Stephen Semple: Today is that day because really, there’s a pretty shared DNA there. Dave Young: Sure. And again, I always think, “Well, okay, start as a little hardware store and then somebody grew into a big hardware store and then they made a bunch more.” Stephen Semple: It’s a little bit like that. Dave Young: A little bit? Stephen Semple: Except this is a little different. It’s a little bit different. Dave Young: Okay. I always like a good twist. Stephen Semple: There’s a little bit of a twist in this. So it was founded in February 6th, 1978, Marietta, Georgia by Bernard Marcus, Arthur Blank, Ron Brill, Pat Farrah, and Ken Langone. So these guys basically got it started. Dave Young: So it doesn’t go near as far back as Lowe’s. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Lowe’s is a little bit earlier, but not much. And today they have over 2,300 locations. They do 160 billion in revenue with over 450,000 employees. So it’s a big deal. And we all know who the Home Depot is, right? We’ve all pretty much heard of it. Now, a couple of the guys got basically fired from a hardware store in the West Coast called Handy Dan. Dave Young: Handy Dan. Okay. Stephen Semple: And it wasn’t really all that big and it was one-stop. But here’s why they got fired. They kept pestering management saying, “You need to go larger, then you need to go national.” And basically, management got tired of listening to that and fired them. So I told you there was a little twist. So when they left, they called one of Handy Dan’s investors, Ken Langone, and said, “Here’s what we want to do. We want to make 100,000 square foot hardware store, stock everything, make it cheaper, and make it more like a wholesaler. That’s what we want to do.” And they drew their inspiration from Walmart. They’re looking at what Walmart was doing. They said, “We want to do the Walmart thing for hardware and building.” And Ken was like, “Great, let’s do it.” And they drew up a plan that basically said they needed $25 million to get going, and they had to settle on raising three and a half million. So this is important to keep in mind because it shapes a couple of things that they do. And so the first thing that they needed to do… And they had a guy, Pat Farrah join them for merchandising. The first thing that they needed to do was create a name for the company. Now, I don’t know if you remember Crazy Eddie’s, the guy in New York City? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: New York City. And he was selling electronics and all this other stuff. Dave Young: But he’s no Handy Dan. Stephen Semple: He’s no Handy Dan, but they were inspired by Crazy Eddie’s. And what I found interesting is in Toronto around the same time, there was a furniture company that started that also was inspired from it because it was Bad Boys. They would dress in the black and white retro, “I’m a prisoner” uniforms. And they’d be like, “Bad Boys. Does anybody have a better price? Nobody.” That was their slogan. But what these guys decided was they were going to call it Bad Bernie’s Buildall. Dave Young: Bad Bernie’s Buildall? Stephen Semple: Bad Bernie’s Buildall. Yes. The investors didn’t like it. That name did not go forth. Dave Young: Of course they didn’t like it. Stephen Semple: Well, because it didn’t have the name Home and all those other things. So they said, “Okay. Well, let’s call it the Home Depot.” Dave Young: Look, Lowe’s doesn’t have the name Home in it either, but it’s not Bad Bernie’s. What was it? Builders? Stephen Semple: Buildall. Dave Young: Buildall? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: It doesn’t roll off the tongue. It blurts out of your mouth in a not great way. Yeah. I have to side with the investors on this one. Stephen Semple: I have to say, I think even on this one, the investors, they’re often not right, but I think on this one they were right. So they opened in Atlanta, 60,000 square feet. Remember that little bit of a difference in terms of the money that they wanted to raise? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: They wanted to raise the 25 million and only had three and a half million. So it made a couple of things difficult, such as stocking 60,000 square feet full of merchandise. Dave Young: Sure. That’s a lot of merchandise. Stephen Semple: So to make it look full, they went out and they bought empty paint cans, thousands of empty paint cans and thousands of empty boxes and basically put them on the shelves. Dave Young: Oh, boy. Stephen Semple: And they wanted to make it feel like a working warehouse so they threw sawdust on the floor. So it’s sawdust on the floor, empty boxes, empty paint cans. Dave Young: Just have one guy driving around with a forklift randomly just… Stephen Semple: They couldn’t afford a lit sign, so they had to make it bright to stand out. So that’s why they went with the orange. Now here’s what’s really interesting. Dave Young: Okay. That makes sense. Stephen Semple: Our client in Edmonton who sells used RVs has a location that’s relatively close to the airport, so you can’t do a lit sign. Jay Mistry Art Design. We picked a very specific shade of orange because what we knew is the setting sun would hit it. And when the setting sun hits that sign, it looks like it’s glowing. And then we got Rick to buy a spotlight and Jay even said to him, “Spotlight has to have this specific criteria to it.” And we put the spotlight onto it and it looks like it’s glowing. There’s cheap ways to make a sign look lit without lighting it. But anyway, that’s why it was orange. Dave Young: Shining the light on it is fine. Stephen Semple: Right. But that’s why they went with the orange, is like, “We can’t light it. It’s got to stand out.” So they do launch day. Launch day does not go well. Literally, they had a newspaper ad that was supposed to run that didn’t run. Nobody showed up. They literally sent kids and family into the parking lot, literally to hand out dollar bills, come to the store. First year’s a disaster. They lose a million dollars in the first year. Dave Young: Here’s what we know about hardware. When do we buy hardware? When we need it. Stephen Semple: Yes, when we’re fixing something. Yep. Dave Young: When we’re fixing something, when we need it. I don’t need it today, but I don’t know if I need it tomorrow because nothing’s broken yet and I don’t have a project I’m working on. So you got to be patient in the hardware business, don’t you? Stephen Semple: Well, they also did something interesting to stimulate sales. So the first year they lose a million dollars and then they get this chance to buy fireplace accessories really cheap. Now think about this. It’s the summertime, they’re in the South and there’s these cheap fireplace accessories. They buy 4,000 of them and they plan to sell them at just above the price and advertise it like crazy. They’re selling these things for 37 bucks. And here’s what’s crazy. People travel from miles away to buy this stuff. And when they’re there, they’re walking around and they buy other things. So the original history- Dave Young: Get an empty can of paint. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And to get some paint. Dave Young: A big box. Stephen Semple: So the original history of Home Depot is they did all these flash sales. Flash sale, flash sale, flash sale. Okay. So in 1980, they do more sales. But one of the things they also do is they start hiring professional contractors and start running these clinics inside the store. This whole idea is we’re going to do a flash sale. Dave Young: I remember that. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. We’re going to do a flash sale to bring people in and then people will maybe watch the clinic and then they’ll buy other stuff. Dave Young: They’ll learn how to do tiling or all that stuff. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1985, they have 50 stores. Lowe’s has 300 stores and Lowe’s secret shops them. They start copying each other at this point. Now, Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, ends up becoming important in all this because Sam Walton calls them and you’re going to love Sam’s advice. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Sam Walton calls them and says, “Guys, love what you’re doing, but you need to shift your model.” And you’re going to love Sam’s advice because it speaks to what we do from the standpoint of running these sales, there’s a downside to running all these sales. And he said, “Get rid of the flash sales, buy in bulk, keep everything as cheap as possible.” If that’s your dealio, low prices, don’t do flash sales, just do low prices, advertise that you got low prices on everything, go that way, and sales soar. So remember, Home Depot was 50 stores and Lowe’s was 300 stores. So that was ’85. So 1992, seven years later after implementing Sam Walton’s advice, Home Depot was doing seven billion in sales and Lowe’s is doing four billion. They blow past Lowe’s. Blow past them and even started opening locations in the same location. Lowe’s basically never catches up. There was one point where every 53 hours there was a Home Depot open. Dave Young: That’s a lot of cans of empty paint. Empty cans of paint. Stephen Semple: That’s a lot of cans of empty paint. Dave Young: Do you know what I miss about Home Depot? I remember when they did the little seminars and things, I thought it was cool. I didn’t ever take one. From where I lived at the time, you had to drive 100 miles to get to Home Depot. But when you got there, you could always get a sausage. They always had somebody out front cooking- Stephen Semple: Oh, doing food. Dave Young: … smoked sausage or something, right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. I think it’s a mistake that Home Depot has gotten away from that. But I do find interesting that what they recognized was when you do a flash sale, you’re not making money on the flash sale. The flash sale is a loss-leader to get people into the store. Now that I’ve got you in the store, I need to do something. And so running those clinics and those things was a great way to get people further engaged, see them as being professional and buy other things. What I do like was Home Depot wasn’t just flash sale, bring people in. There was a further leg to that stool. But what I also love was Sam Walton saying, “Forget the flash sales. Just do everyday low prices.” Dave Young: Well, it’s an interesting distinction between having a flash sale and a loss-leader that you don’t advertise as a sale. You just say, “Hey, screwdrivers are $1.99.” Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: It’s not a sale price. That’s the price of a screwdriver today. Stephen Semple: Correct. Correct. Dave Young: And then people go, “Oh, well.” And maybe the screwdrivers cost you $4. But you advertise that screwdrivers are $1.99, and people that need screwdrivers also need screws and other size screwdrivers and all kinds of other things. But it gives the impression that everything you buy in there is going to be that kind of a price. But like you said, it’s not a flash sale. Stephen Semple: It’s not a flash sale. Dave Young: It’s just the price of a screwdriver. And that was what Walton was so good at, right? Stephen Semple: Yes. Right. Dave Young: He made Walmart become known for low prices, even though they weren’t always the lowest price. Stephen Semple: Well, that’s exactly it. And that’s what Sam’s advice was. Sam’s advice was the place that you want to occupy in somebody’s mind is, “You’ve got it, you’ve probably got a couple and they’re all a good price for your category,” because then when you do that, you own the mind in that category. Dave Young: Now here’s what’s interesting too. Did Sam Walton just call them up? Stephen Semple: Yeah, he did. Dave Young: And he wasn’t an investor. Stephen Semple: No. Dave Young: He was just like, “Hey guys, here’s how you’re screwing this up.” Stephen Semple: Hey guys, here’s how you- Dave Young: That’s pretty amazing. Stephen Semple: It might be a myth, but that’s the story floating out there according to the folks from Home Depot, is one day, Sam called and said, “Hey guys.” Dave Young: And here’s the other amazing thing is they took his advice because what I’ve found, you’ve found, all of us that do ad consulting work is the advice you give somebody that you don’t charge them for- Stephen Semple: They often don’t take it. Dave Young: … they often don’t do anything with it. Stephen Semple: It’s true. Dave Young: If they do, then you’re like, “Okay, well, I’ve got somebody I can work with.” Because often people look at it and go, “Well, shoot, you didn’t charge me anything for that. So how valuable could that be?” I remember our friend, Jeffrey Eisenberg. This is, shoot, 20 years ago, when someone would contact him for website consulting, he would get on the phone with them and they’d look at the site together and he’d make them two or three recommendations, “Here’s what you need to fix right now and this other thing. These are easy fixes. Just have your web guy do this, this and this, and your website will convert a lot better. And then let me know if you want to talk again.” And if they called him back a few weeks later and are like, “I want to talk again,” he’s like, “Well, have you done the things I told you?” “No. Because we’re not…” And like, “No, dude, I’m not even talking to you if you don’t do those things. Not even doing it, not having another conversation with you.” So I love that Sam just called him up. Stephen Semple: And the other part about taking advice, because look, in marketing and business, everybody wants to give their advice. But when a guy like Sam Walton is giving you advice, you should listen. Dave Young: You should. Stephen Semple: I was joking the other day with a client of mine who’s in Western Canada, one of the self-made billionaires is a guy by the name of Jimmy Pattison. We were talking about advice and I was like, “Yeah, if Jimmy Pattison ever calls and gives you some advice, take it.” Now, if the guy who’s just read a lot of books gives you some advice, maybe not. If Sam Walton calls, take it. Dave Young: This is terrible, but the most frustrating thing is when a business owner takes the advice of their veterinarian’s nephew. Stephen Semple: Well, exactly. Dave Young: Or, “My cousin says that we shouldn’t do it that way.” Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: And I’m like, “Well, you should just hire your cousin.” Stephen Semple: Right. And it happens a lot, as we know, in marketing because we all feel like we have an opinion in it because we’re all exposed to the messages all the time. But here’s the interesting thing, I’ve grown up my entire life with homes with indoor plumbing. Does not make me a plumber. Dave Young: No. Stephen Semple: Right. Miraculously. So to me, the part that I really loved with Home Depot was this audacity of, “Okay, how do we make it look big? How do we make it look real?” And even that first flash sale being this weird thing because it was fireplace accessories in the South in the summer. Even though we’re not big fans of flash sales, they saw something that worked and replicated it and it worked for a period of time. But then we’re still willing to pivot off of that, and so to go, “Okay, you know what? There is limitations to that. Let’s pivot off of that and do this thing.” And not everybody can be successful being low price. You can be successful being low price when you are giving a depot feeling, because let’s face it, you go in there, and the stores are bare bones, they’re buying in high volume. You can win at that game when you do it that way. Dave Young: Yeah. It could have been that the fireplace accessories is when Walton first noticed them. If I was writing this legend- Stephen Semple: Maybe. Dave Young: Because that’s really the tactic that he used, that’s what got started with his story, is buying [inaudible 00:18:53]. Stephen Semple: That’s his origin as well. Yes. Dave Young: There were a whole bunch of lawnmowers. I could get them real cheap and the staff was like, “Okay, so we’re going to store them till next summer,” because this is the end of the summer, right? Somebody else was overstocked. And he’s like, “No, we’re going to line them all up by the road and put a low price on them.” Stephen Semple: Yeah. And just move them. Dave Young: We just move them out, just blow them out. It’s not a lawnmower sale. It’s lawnmowers cost this much right here, right now, and there they are and that’s all there are. Stephen Semple: Right. So that’s a great observation. So their origin is very similar to his, except he didn’t make it a flash sale. He just sold them at a low price. Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah, just like, “No, I got these lawnmowers. Here’s what they cost and there they are. There’s that many of them.” Stephen Semple: That’s probably where it came from. I hadn’t connected those dots. That’s a great observation, Dave. Dave Young: That’s just part of the same DNA. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: I love the story of Home Depot. I wish I could drive over there right now and get a smoked sausage, but alas. That ship has sailed, my friend. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Well, they still got hot dogs at Costco, so there’s still hope. Dave Young: Oh, there is that. All right. I’ll go to Costco instead.

Most founders expect happiness to arrive the moment the wire hits. But, as Jerome shares in this powerful solo episode, many founders feel more lost after a successful exit than before it. Even when the deal is smooth, the number is hit, and every professional metric says success, the internal experience can feel hollow. Jerome breaks down why joy does not automatically follow liquidity, why identity and purpose collapse after exiting, and how founders can avoid falling into the Post-Exit Void.  He reveals the psychological sequence that unfolds after the deal closes, the hidden shame founders rarely admit, and a new definition of a successful exit that goes far beyond valuation. If you are building toward a liquidity event or still unraveling after one, this episode will give you clarity, language, and next steps to regain meaning, coherence, and direction.  [00:00 – 03:10] The Myth of Automatic Post-Exit Happiness Founders often assume money will solve everything, but joy after a liquidity event is short-lived Adaptation to newfound wealth happens quickly, leaving many wondering what now Without a plan for life after the exit, the reality feels empty even if the transaction went perfectly [03:11 – 06:20] The Rare Reality of a Successful Exit Very few founders experience a truly fulfilling exit because the odds of long-term business survival are low Exiting into a void, rather than into a purpose, creates regret Shame, invisibility, and fear of sounding ungrateful keep founders from speaking up [06:21 – 09:15] Identity Displacement After the Exit A founder's identity is tied to being needed, active, and in motion When the business is gone, structure and community disappear with it Having 40 to 60 hours returned each week creates disorientation if unplanned [09:16 – 12:00] Purpose Disruption and the Search for Meaning The business once supplied mission, direction, and a scoreboard Post exit, fear and scarcity can prevent new pursuits from forming Purpose is rooted in people and problems, not in finding a new distraction [12:01 – 14:45] Deconstructing the Fantasy of I Will Be Happy When Liquidity events do not bring lasting relief, completion, or peace An exit is not a finish line. It is the beginning of another chapter Money creates capacity, not identity [14:46 – 18:00] A New Definition of a Successful Exit Success cannot be measured by payout alone. Fulfillment, belonging, and identity must be included Without preparing for life after the transaction, founders may long for the company they left Exit readiness protects founders from forced exits due to death, disease, burnout, or divorce Key Quotes: “Money is capacity, not identity. Time is space, not direction. Freedom is potential, not fulfillment.” - Jerome Myers“Many founders hit their number and still wonder why they feel empty. The exit does not answer the question of who you are.” - Jerome Myers Join industry leaders shaping the future and secure your spot at the Exit Planning Summit today! https://exitplanningsummit.com/speakers Ready for your next chapter?Start Your Assessment Now

How do you define peace and where do you find peace in your life? Is it possible that peace is wherever you find yourself?  Listen as Mary Ellen shares some thoughts about the starting point of peace. She also shared one of her favorite poems,  I AM There by James Dillet Freeman (published by Unity.)"Do you need Me?I am there. You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands. I am at work, though you do not understand My ways. I am at work, though you do not recognize My works. I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries."Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer. When you need Me, I am there. Even if you deny Me, I am there. Even when you feel most alone, I am there.Even in your fears, I am there.Even in your pain, I am there."I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.I am in you, and you are in Me. Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me. Empty your heart of empty fears. When you get yourself out of the way, I am there."You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.And I am in all. Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.I am there because I have to be, because I am. Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward."I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded. I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I am."Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you. Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.Beloved, I am there."Support the show

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that the immigrant community in Kenner, Louisiana is taking a hit from a federal enforcement campaign.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released more than 150 still images and over a dozen short videos of the Virgin Islands estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, on the same day that attorneys for Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell argued against the release of grand jury materials in her criminal case. One of downtown Fresno’s largest listed commercial spaces has sat empty for nearly five years, with no takers on the nearly 26,000 square feet of potential retail and office space a short walk from government buildings, hotels and downtown entertainment centers. Passersby might see the building, with its distinctive green and gold Club One Casino sign, and think it’s still an active gaming house. But listing photos show there isn’t much more than old carpeting left inside.

This week, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau take aim at Europe's core illusions. Are Europe's 'values' anything more than a slogan when its leaders fail to defend a French ICC judge sanctioned by the Trump administration? And why is Europe fixated on rapidly increasing defence spending to 3.5% of GDP - is this target a genuine strategy to counter Russia and achieve independence, or is it a doomed exercise that will only funnel money inefficiently and increase Europe's reliance on American arms suppliers?The Econoclasts is the podcast from UnHerd in which Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau each week pick pillars of the economic orthodoxy – so-called ‘settled facts' – and shatter them. Why? Because, while they don't always agree politically, they're united in one conviction: the consensus is rotten and the establishment's model is failing. Hosted on Acast.

Some workplaces feel stressful. Others feel busy. But in one Las Vegas RV dealership, the upstairs warranty office felt… inhabited. Before she even settled into her new role, the people working there warned her that things happened in that room. Files moved. Shelves cleared themselves. Sounds carried that no living person could've made. She didn't believe any of it—until the day she heard bare feet sprint across an empty office… and realized she wasn't the only one who'd heard them. From footsteps that shouldn't exist to someone rifling through cabinets when no one was there, this is the story of a workplace where the ghosts never clocked out—even when the people did. #realghoststoriesonline #hauntedoffice #paranormalactivity #ghostfootsteps #lasvegasghosts #trueghoststory #hauntings #ghostencounter #creepyworkplaces #supernaturalstories Love real ghost stories?

In today's episode, I break down how daily practice shapes long-term success and why consistent behavior outperforms occasional pushes. I explain the human experience through time, intention, and the lessons our bodies are built to teach us. I share how separating each day into non-negotiable and circumstantial behavior helps me stay aligned with my goals, reduce resistance, and avoid doubling down on the habits that hold me back. I talk about using uncertainty as fuel, managing ego-driven reactions, and building a life rooted in recovery, health, family, faith, and purposeful action. It's a simple framework that turns small commitments into exponential results.
