Send us a textNestled within the captivating world of collegiate baseball lies an extraordinary tale of transformation. Phil Schallenberger, head coach of Messiah University's baseball program, guides us through his team's remarkable journey from a disheartening 1-7 start to playing for the Division III College World Series championship.The turning point came not through a strategic overhaul but a profound shift in perspective. After striking out 15 times against the #1 ranked team, Schallenberger embraced honest player feedback that would reshape their season: "Coach, it's not that you're communicating anything wrong—it's that it's being interpreted differently than intended." This vulnerability opened doors to authentic dialogue and a liberating team philosophy centered on purpose beyond outcomes.Schallenberger reveals how creating a culture where conflict is valued rather than avoided became their secret weapon. "If there's no tension or friction, then you just have people saying yes because they think that's what they're supposed to do," he explains. This environment nurtured a team described by one veteran umpire as "the most unified and selfless team I've seen in 20+ years."The conversation delves into practical strategies behind Messiah's explosive offense—stealing over 160 bases while breaking school home run records—and how removing fear fostered aggressive yet intelligent baseball. Drawing from his experience with the viral sensation Savannah Bananas, Schallenberger explains how incorporating fun and self-expression actually elevated their competitive edge.Perhaps most compelling is Schallenberger's evolution from a coach who "hated losing more than loved winning" to one reporters called "the happiest coach I've ever seen lose a baseball game" after their championship defeat. His response? "Our identity truly isn't wrapped up in wins."Whether you're a coach seeking to transform your program, a player looking to elevate your mental approach, or simply someone who appreciates stories of remarkable turnarounds, this conversation offers wisdom that transcends the diamond. Listen now to discover how surrendering outcomes might be your path to achieving what once seemed impossible.Creating a culture where honest feedback and authentic communication thrive between coaches and players• Embracing conflict as necessary for growth rather than something to be avoided• Shifting from pressure-filled, outcome-focused baseball to playing with freedom and purpose• Developing an aggressive base-running system that stole over 160 bases while maintaining an 80+% success rate• Building a multi-dimensional offense that broke school home run records while remaining fundamentally sound• Learning to surrender outcomes and find identity beyond baseball results• Applying lessons from coaching with the Savannah Bananas to create an environment where players enjoy the game• Encouraging players to embrace their personalities while maintaining competitive excellenceJoin our podcast weekly for more insights from the best coaches in baseball as we break down the game and share incredible behind-the-scenes stories.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

What does being wealthy truly look like? We imagine having big fancy houses, exotic vacations, and high status jobs. But what if I told you that most millionaires, even decamillionaires today, might not look quite like the famous person on your tv or phone screen, but more like your average Joe, living in a house down the street? That scenario is more than norm than you may realize, and that's good news for everyone.   Links: The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko Learn more about this Money Tip's sponsor: New England Royal Service Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union  Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   Today's Money Tip is proudly sponsored by New England Royal Service. A local NH business offering commercial cleaning and property maintenance trusted for its exceptional service. Visit neroyal.com to learn more and show us a little love by mentioning this podcast when you reach out!  Now back to today's tip.  Reading books is a powerful way to shift your mindset about money and finance, along with gaining practical techniques to achieve your desired financial life. One notable book is The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko. First published in 1996, the book delves into the habits of the wealthy, challenging many common misconceptions about wealth.  The authors break down key concepts that question the stereotypical views of wealthy individuals. For instance, wealth isn't always visible, and attaining it isn't solely dependent on income or profession; anyone can adopt wealth-building practices. This idea is fundamental, as many believe wealth is an exclusive domain, locked away by a hidden secret known only to a select few. However, the book demonstrates that with intentionality, focus, and cultivated habits, anyone can build wealth.  Stanley and Danko conducted thorough research across various demographics to uncover what distinguishes wealthy individuals from those who are not. The findings are often surprising. The common belief that a high salary guarantees wealth is swiftly debunked; while income does play a role, how individuals manage their finances holds greater significance.   Another revelation from the book is that appearances can be misleading. A person flaunting a large house, designer clothes, or a luxury car may not be financially secure. The pressure to project an image of wealth often incurs hidden costs. The authors shared, "many people tell us that you can judge a book by its cover, meaning that high-grade doctors, lawyers, accountants, and so on are expected to live in expensive homes. They also are expected to dress and drive in a style congruent with their ability to perform their professional duties."   Interestingly, surveys discussed in the book indicated that many millionaires do not prioritize purchasing luxury items. They tend to be frugal, preferring utility over showmanship when it comes to their spending habits. For instance, their survey results showed that the average American millionaire never spent more than $399 on a suit, with a quarter spending $285 or less. Additionally, about half never spent more than $140 on shoes, and many did not exceed $235 on a wristwatch. Remember that the surveys were conducted in the 90s, so the actual dollar amounts may have shifted a little bit since then.   The authors highlight a critical distinction between high wealth accumulation and the ostentatious display of wealth. They state, "...some people judge others by their choice in foods, beverages, suits, watches, motor vehicles, and such. To them, superior people have excellent tastes in consumer goods. But it is easier to purchase products that denote superiority than to be superior in economic achievement."   Such insights highlight the significant role of frugality in wealth accumulation, which is often overlooked. The authors state, "Being frugal is the cornerstone of wealth-building. Yet far too often, the big spenders are promoted and sensationalized by the popular press. We are constantly barraged with media hype about so-called millionaire athletes, for example."  The book encourages readers to realize they have more control over their financial destinies than they might think. Adopting millionaire habits can be achievable for anyone. For example, individuals can adjust their consumption patterns to reduce spending and enhance savings. Moreover, selecting a career with a clearer understanding of associated costs and responsibilities—be it pursuing a doctorate or starting a business—can maximize financial outcomes.  Encouraging a 'pay yourself first' mentality in personal and family finances is another valuable takeaway. This mindset helps prioritize saving over unnecessary spending, providing a sense of security and control over one's financial future.  If you're considering reading the book, there are a few points to keep in mind. The wealth of data and statistics presented may come across as dry if you're not inclined toward research-driven narratives. Furthermore, since the book was initially written in 1996, some of the information may now seem outdated. My copy was republished in 2010, but monetary values and occupational statistics have undoubtedly evolved since then. A dollar in 1996, for instance, had greater purchasing power than it does today, which can affect how some financial principles are perceived.  Overall, The Millionaire Next Door offers valuable insights into the habits and mindsets that contribute to wealth accumulation. By debunking common myths and encouraging practical financial habits, it provides a more accessible view of how anyone can work toward financial success, equipping readers with actionable steps to improve their economic situation.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Hi, friend. Welcome back to the Encouraging Word Podcast. Does gratitude matter to God? The Bible suggests it does. In Luke chapter 17 we read the story of Jesus healing ten lepers, and only one returns to thank him. But the one who comes back does so praising God. His gratitude made him joyful. Friend, the quickest way out of a tough day is through the door marked “thank you.”

Send us a textToday, I'm honored to be joined by brother Drew Lacondrata. Drew is a former member of one of the most notorious gangs! The Gangster Disciples. He opens up about the painful and personal journey that led him into gang life. And how by the grace of God he was able to make it out alive. Drew also faced a fierce battle with addiction. In one of his darkest moments, it was his mother's voice that broke through. Encouraging him to cry out to the Lord in prayer. That single prayer sparked a transformation, and he's been walking the path of faith ever since.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. It is frustrating to have discovered a new author and not to be able to tell anyone how good he is; to come suddenly, at the turn of the road, upon some mountain valley of unexpected grandeur and then to have to keep silent because the people with you care for it no more than for a tin can in the ditch; to hear a good joke and find no one to share it with. If it were possible for a created soul fully… to ‘appreciate', that is to love and delight in, the worthiest object of all, and simultaneously at every moment to give this delight perfect expression, then that soul would be in supreme beatitude… To see what the doctrine really means, we must suppose ourselves to be in perfect love with God—drunk with, drowned in, dissolved by, that delight which, far from remaining pent up within ourselves as incommunicable, hence hardly tolerable, bliss, flows out from us incessantly again in effortless and perfect expression, our joy no more separable from the praise in which it liberates and utters itself than the brightness a mirror receives is separable from the brightness it sheds. The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.”~C. S. Lewis, English theologian and writer, from Reflections on the Psalms“Here are the two best prayers: ‘help me help me help me' and ‘thank you thank you thank you.'”~Anne Lamott, American author, from Traveling Mercies SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 10:19-25 (ESV) 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Lucinda welcomes returning guest Dr. Jo Burrell, a clinical psychologist and co-founder of Ultimate Resilience. They delve into the alarming findings of the latest HR Wellbeing Report, which reveals that nearly half of HR professionals are experiencing clinical levels of depression, significantly higher than the general population. With over 1,400 respondents, the report highlights a stark disparity between the mental health struggles faced by HR professionals and the support they receive. Jo discusses the importance of open conversations about mental wellbeing in the HR field, the need for systemic support such as supervision, and practical tips for building resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS The recent HR wellbeing report revealed that 44% of HR professionals meet the threshold for clinical levels of depression, which is 2.5 times higher than the general population. Additionally, 63% are likely experiencing significant symptoms of burnout. Despite the high levels of suffering, only 13% of HR professionals reported feeling very supported at work regarding their mental wellbeing. This indicates a significant gap between the mental health challenges faced and the support available. There is a "conspiracy of silence" surrounding HR wellbeing, where professionals feel they cannot express their struggles. Encouraging open discussions about mental health and creating a supportive environment is crucial for addressing these issues. Setting clear boundaries between work and personal life is essential for preventing burnout. HR professionals need to be assertive in protecting their time and wellbeing, which includes disconnecting from work after hours. BEST MOMENTS "What we found was 44% of respondents meeting the threshold for clinical levels of depression, which is two and a half times higher than we would expect to see in the general population." "There's a big disparity between the level of suffering and the degree of support that's available for people." "I think there's been a lack of acknowledgement that this has become a profession that is incredibly challenging."

Hey hey Encourager!

Sibling relationships have the power to shape a child's character and future in profound ways. These relationships are often the first training ground for learning forgiveness, humility, patience, and selfless love. And God is not silent about how we're to treat one another—even in the smallest corners of the home.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you…" — John 13:34Teaching siblings to love one another doesn't begin with behavior correction—it begins with heart formation. It's not about getting kids to simply “get along.” It's about helping them see each other as image-bearers of God, placed in the same family for a reason.Here are a few ways to disciple your children in sibling love:* Model it – Show grace and respect in your own relationships. Children replicate what they see.* Pray for one another out loud – Let siblings hear each other's needs lifted to God. It softens hearts.* Teach peacemaking, not just peacekeeping – Train them to work through conflict biblically, not just avoid it.* Celebrate one another – Encourage them to cheer each other on rather than compete for attention.* Speak blessing – Teach them to use their words to build, not tear down.Sibling rivalry isn't new—it's been around since Cain and Abel. But in Christ, our homes can be different. God wants to use sibling relationships to build unity, sharpen character, and reflect His love.If your children struggle with tension, don't lose hope. Ask the Holy Spirit to move in their hearts. Begin praying for a spirit of unity and kindness between them—and don't stop. God cares deeply about what's happening between your children.Question of the Day:What's one way you can help your children grow in love and unity toward each other this week?Mini Call to Action:Lead your children in a short time of praying for one another today. Even one sentence each. Watch what begins to shift.Let's Pray:Lord, teach our children to love each other as You have loved them. Help us lead by example. Let our home be filled with grace, patience, and a Spirit of unity. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The love your children learn to give each other at home will shape how they love the world.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

A Note from James:Michael Dell. Founder of Dell. I remember in college, hearing about this kid who was building computers in his dorm and making millions. I thought it was a myth. It wasn't. He's the real thing—and he just kept going.I wanted to understand what drove him, what it felt like to deal with Carl Icahn trying to wrestle his company from him, and what success feels like after decades of being in the game. Also: I had to ask why Dell didn't invent Google. That, plus how he's now thinking about AI, cancer, and what “focus” really means.Episode Description:James Altucher sits down with Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, to trace the entire arc of Dell's career—from building computers in a college dorm room to defending his company against Carl Icahn and taking it private. In this candid conversation, Dell shares how early obsession with tech and business turned into a multibillion-dollar global enterprise, the lessons he's learned about leadership, and how he's positioning for the future with AI, cybersecurity, and gene tech on the horizon.This is more than a business story. It's about risk, conviction, reinvention—and knowing when to walk away from Steve Jobs.What You'll Learn:How Dell's dorm-room business scaled to $80,000/month before he even left collegeWhat Michael Dell really thought during his showdown with Carl IcahnWhy most big companies fail to innovate—and how to keep a startup mindsetHow Dell Technologies is preparing for the explosion in AI and edge computingWhat makes a good leader at the head of a $100 billion companyTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] James introduces Michael Dell and the origin story of Dell Computers[01:00] The economics of building PCs in the early 1980s[03:00] Winning state bids with a bike and a dorm room[05:00] Pressure to become a doctor—and the 10-day “intervention”[10:00] Meeting Steve Jobs and licensing DOS from Bill Gates[13:00] Dell's early B2B focus and international expansion[15:00] Going public and the Icahn showdown[18:00] How activist investors play poker with billion-dollar stakes[21:00] What focus really means in business[24:00] Defining leadership at global scale[26:00] Encouraging innovation inside massive companies[28:00] The failed Mac OS licensing deal[30:00] Philanthropy, education, and urban poverty[33:00] COVID lockdowns and a $100M response[35:00] The future of work and city migration[39:00] AI, edge computing, and exponential data[42:00] Gene editing, mRNA vaccines, and solving cancer[45:00] Blockchain in enterprise (no bitcoin on Dell's balance sheet—yet)[47:00] Why cybersecurity is an arms raceAdditional Resources:Play Nice But Win – Michael Dell's memoir (Amazon)Dell Technologies – Official websiteJudge rejects Icahn's move on Dell buyout – CT InsiderRichard Florida on the future of cities – Vital City NYC interviewWhat is CRISPR? – Broad InstituteHistory of MS‑DOS – WikipediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, host Bryan Orr and guest Ty Branaman have an in-depth, hands-on conversation about the philosophy, structure, and impact of GRIT Camps—workshops designed to introduce kids to the trades through immersive, practical experiences. The episode opens with reflections on a recent successful GRIT Camp in New Jersey, where both mentors and children gained new skills and confidence. Ty shares the excitement of seeing young participants, many of whom had never shown interest in school before, become deeply engaged in building, problem-solving, and learning from trades professionals. Parents noticed a newfound enthusiasm in their children, while mentors were invigorated by the opportunity to share their expertise and even learn new techniques alongside the kids. A central theme is the use of the Socratic method—teaching through curiosity, guided questions, and hands-on experimentation. Rather than providing step-by-step instructions, mentors encourage kids to make mistakes, ask questions, and discover solutions on their own. This approach fosters deeper understanding, builds confidence, and develops critical thinking skills. Bryan and Ty discuss the importance of meeting each learner where they are, allowing for individualized progress and ensuring that every participant, regardless of prior experience, leaves with a sense of accomplishment. The hosts also highlight how this method benefits mentors, many of whom find themselves learning and growing alongside the kids. GRIT Camps are designed like an “escape room” or adventure challenge. Each module—carpentry, electrical work, brazing, and more—presents real-world problems for kids to solve, emphasizing both safety and creativity. The hands-on activities are intentionally open-ended, allowing for flexibility and adaptation by different mentors and hosts. Safety is a recurring focus, with detailed discussions about best practices for working with tools, protective equipment, and managing risk, especially when introducing children to potentially hazardous tasks. The conversation also explores the broader societal impact of GRIT Camps, emphasizing the importance of restoring respect for hands-on skills and empowering both kids and mentors to build, fix, and create with confidence. Topics Covered in This Episode: The origins and goals of GRIT Camps The Socratic method: fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning Structuring camps as adventure challenges to boost engagement and creativity Safety protocols and best practices for working with tools and materials Teaching modules: carpentry, electrical work, brazing, and more Customization and creativity: allowing kids to personalize their projects The importance of respecting and restoring hands-on skills in society Encouraging contractors and communities to replicate and expand the GRIT Camp model The impact on kids, parents, and mentors—building confidence, skills, and community Reflections on neurodiversity, learning styles, and the value of practical education   Learn more about the GRIT Foundation at https://www.thegritfoundation.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, your hosts sit down with Desiré Mosser, a veteran instructional coach supporting over 125 virtual educators at Pasco eSchool and Vice President of BOLD (Blended Online Learning Discovery of Florida). A former brick-and-mortar science teacher turned online education leader, Desiré brings over two decades of hands-on virtual teaching experience, systems thinking, and heartfelt coaching into a conversation that dives deep into what it really takes to make virtual schools thrive—not just for students, but for teachers too.The episode explores how Desiré transitioned into virtual learning out of necessity, only to become a cornerstone of educator support in Florida's online education community. From dispelling myths about teacher isolation to building sustainable systems of care, Desiré shares stories, strategies, and moments of growth that challenge the notion that distance learning limits connection. Her experience reveals how personalized, human-centered leadership—and a dash of humor—can transform virtual teaching into a deeply rewarding career.Pain Point: Many educators—especially high-performing ones from traditional classrooms—struggle with the transition to virtual teaching. They face feelings of professional disorientation, burnout, and isolation, often exacerbated by the misconception that online teaching is less personal or impactful.Solution: Desiré combats these challenges with a highly personal, relationship-first approach to coaching and systems design. She builds trust from day one, treating teachers as whole people with lives beyond their screens. Her tools include visual boundaries for home life, proactive calendar management, and “kudos files” to keep morale high. Importantly, she systematizes this approach through a team of lead teachers who carry these same values into their smaller groups, making large-scale support both scalable and heartfelt.Action: Educators and school leaders can apply Desiré's strategies by:Building proactive onboarding that prioritizes relationship-building.Encouraging staff to design personal schedules that protect work-life balance.Modeling vulnerability and curiosity in coaching interactions.Instituting a “kudos file” system to celebrate small wins and sustain motivation.Training household members (yes, even toddlers) on virtual work boundaries.These simple but powerful actions help foster longevity, well-being, and excellence in the virtual teaching profession.
