This episode is a full end-of-year reflection and a practical blueprint for setting goals you actually complete. I'm sharing the exact shifts I made that helped me reach every major goal I set this year, feel more like myself again, close the loop on my goals, and build momentum without the scattered energy. I also give you the framework I'm using going into 2026: how I narrowed my goals down, increased focus and depth (instead of novelty), tightened my routines and boundaries, and invested in support early rather than waiting until I was in "red alert." And yes, there's a mini life update in here too: a record month in business, and the story of Chris and me getting ENGAGED!!

In this episode of The Sounds of SAND podcast, host Michael Reiley speaks with Father Adam Bucko about his journey and the integration of Christian contemplative spirituality with social justice activism. Father Adam shares his formative experiences growing up in Poland during the resistance against totalitarian government, his work with marginalized youth in the United States and India, and his philosophy of engaged contemplation. He discusses the importance of heartbreak as a spiritual guide, the responsibility of acknowledging historical injustices perpetrated by the Christian church, and the practice of staying grounded through monastic rhythms of life. The episode highlights the need for a balanced approach to spirituality that embraces both love and grief, and explores reconciliation with the world's suffering through active, mindful presence.

Ariel shares her journey from two decades of middle school mathematics teaching to supporting mathematics educators through the University of Arizona Center for Recruitment and Retention of Mathematics Teachers.

Actor and comedian Patton Oswalt joins Sam to catch up where they left off during the first Trump administration and how they simply can’t believe we’re doing round two of this shit. They discuss how there’s money in outrage and how it drives engagement, and how news channels take advantage of your cortisol levels to keep you engaged with constant alerts of BREAKING NEWS. Patton explains why he no longer interacts with people on X but still can’t leave his followers behind, and why they both now mostly use social media to self-soothe, while others are left to raw-dog their boredom. They talk about the need for young nerds to go into politics and what Trump would be doing if Sam was still on TV. A girl can dream!

In Episode 6.3 of The CEO Podcast, Scott De Long, Ph.D., and Vince Moiso explore how culture shapes organizational success. They discuss culture as a living system that evolves with each new hire and business shift, requiring leadership to nurture and align it with core values. Scott explains that culture happens whether leaders manage it or not; it's how things get done within the company. Vince adds that failing to direct culture leads to misalignment and toxicity. Both stress that true culture management requires clarity in vision, mission, and values across all levels. They conclude that culture isn't a cost but the container that makes sustainable performance possible. A strong, aligned culture fosters communication, reduces turnover, and builds lasting engagement. Key Takeaways: Culture exists with or without leadership; intentional direction makes the difference. Alignment between personal and organizational values drives sustainable success. Investing in culture pays off through engagement, retention, and performance. Key Insights: Culture evolves continuously; leaders must shape it deliberately. Misaligned values are the root of toxic workplaces. Communication defines and sustains company culture. Hiring for cultural fit prevents future misalignment. Engaged employees lead to happier customers and stronger results. Culture building should involve all team levels, not just leadership. Cross-functional collaboration strengthens cultural understanding. Influence, not control, sustains healthy organizational dynamics. Transparency and empathy foster trust in the workplace. Leaders should ask whether employees see the culture the same way leadership does.

7/8. The Western Safari, Sheridan's Irony, and the Scientific Ignorance Driving the Wolf Slaughter — Dan Flores— The mid-nineteenth-century American West became a safari destination for wealthy European nobility who engaged in serial, unjustified massacres of wildlife, meticulously recording kill counts as trophy tallies. Flores documents a historical irony: General Philip Sheridan, traditionally maligned as a villain, actually protested the systematic buffaloslaughter and subsequently protected Yellowstone fauna. Flores emphasizes that wolves were poisoned ubiquitously throughout this period due to unscientific Old World superstitions and profound ecological ignorance, reflecting medieval prejudices rather than empirical understanding of predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem function.
Original airdate: 12/3/24: Mary chats with teacher, author and prophecy expert Lee Brainard about his deep studies into the Rapture. Lee has some great insights in his book, "Ten Potent Proofs for the Pre-Trib Rapture" and it's all in one short volume. A great resource for those who may be confused by the genuine disdain that the church at large has developed for this viewpoint of late. And what about the incredible way the US has turned a corner on normality with the outcome of November's election? How does that affect the time table for the rapture? After all, the globalists have been in the red zone for a while, now a nationalist has intercepted and is heading things a different direction. Does it matter? Imminency is key of course. Learn more about Israel, dispensationalism, and the rapture with answers for those who oppose the clear teaching of Scripture on this matter. An hour to challenge us all.
“Our goal was to see some of the biggest takeaways that we could grasp and attach ourselves to as a church.” Pastor Mitch Wagner describes how Summit Fellowship Church used their Know Your Community report to pinpoint specific needs in the community and found members of the congregation who were equipped to minister to those needs.

Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. The process is the point. When we are waiting, we often want to be "done". We want to be "there". We want our waiting to be over so that we can start living. But life happens right here and right now. And God is doing something right now. We do not simply endure waiting, we engage during the waiting. The declaration of faithful waiting is: I am confident that this moment is crucial. Mass Readings from November 30, 2025: Isaiah 2:1-5 Psalm 122: 1-9Romans 13:11-14 Matthew 24:37-44
Footballguys The Audible - Fantasy Football Info for Serious Fans
Welcome to Episode 2 of the Footballguys Home League Show—your weekly guide to building fun, competitive, and connected fantasy football home leagues. In this episode, hosts Kevin Murray and Joey Wright dive into one of the biggest challenges commissioners and league members face each year: midseason apathy. When the excitement of draft day fades and the standings start to settle, engagement naturally dips. But great leagues—and great commissioners—find ways to keep everyone invested. In this episode, you'll learn actionable league engagement strategies you can apply right now to bring energy back to your league, strengthen culture, and help every manager feel connected to the season. League of the Week: Greenskeeper Fantasy Football League (Papa Staskiel) We spotlight the Greenskeeper Fantasy Football League, led by FFU Commissioner of the Year Papa Staskiel—a league that has mastered creativity and connection. From destination drafts and driving-range Tin Cup themes to live waiver-wire auction streams, rule-roulette systems, and a 400-rule submission tradition, this league has built a legacy grounded in chaos, fun, and unforgettable memories. A perfect example of what home leagues can become when creativity and community take the lead.
