In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I break down a simple truth I live by every day. Attitude is the foundation. Enthusiasm is the expression. When I move with purpose even on the mornings I feel stiff, tired, and anything but motivated, my actions create the energy I need. People read my face, my voice, my posture, and they respond to what I carry. If I choose purpose, others feel it and follow it. Introduction I did not wake up inspired. My back hurt. My shoulder was tight. I shuffled to the bathroom like a slow old man. Then I walked into the gym and a guy told me I always move with purpose. That compliment reminded me of the standard I set for myself. I do not wait for motivation. I act first. The energy shows up after. Body Awareness creates advantage I know eyes are on me. Clients, team, family, even strangers at the gym read my body language. They decide how far to push, whether to trust, and if they want to work with me based on what I show. When I smile, stand tall, and speak with conviction, I transmit certainty. Certainty moves deals forward. Action before motivation I never count on feeling ready. I get moving and let the movement warm up my mind. Action builds motivation. Motivation builds inspiration. Then I stack more action. That cycle is how I keep momentum, even when my body hurts or my schedule is heavy. Enthusiasm is a skill Enthusiasm is not fake. It is a decision to express what I believe. Shoulders back. Eye contact. Strong handshake. Clear tonality. Words that lead. I do this with my family so they can believe in me. I do it with clients so they can make confident decisions. If I carry worry, they mirror worry. If I carry certainty, they mirror certainty. Lead the room with your presence At the gym I skip every other stair. At the coffee shop Carla and I visit, we are met with smiles and service because we bring the same energy. People respond to the way you enter a space. Move like you have somewhere to be and something to build. Smile first. It opens doors. Say you are the best and then deliver Big claims force big delivery. When I say I market the best, negotiate the best, and deliver the best, I give my subconscious direct orders. Then I back it up with preparation, presence, and follow through. Clients already believe you are the best when they call you. Do not talk them out of it by being timid, worried, or slow. Protect client experience with your tone Problems happen. Appraisals come in low. Inspections get messy. Your job is not to transfer panic. Your job is to take on the worry and lead with solutions. Calm tone. Clear path. People want to feel they made the right decision when they chose you. Practical cues to switch on enthusiasm Smile before you call. Stand up when you negotiate. Use your hands when you explain. Nod to confirm understanding. Keep your voice steady. Dress with intention. If you feel yourself fading, lean your shoulders forward and let your body pull your mind into motion. Forward momentum beats hesitation. Conclusion Attitude sets your standard. Enthusiasm shows the world your standard. Stop waiting to feel ready. Take the action that moves you. Smile with purpose. Speak with conviction. Walk like you mean it. When you do, people feel safe making decisions around you. That is leadership. That is how you produce. Reader Questions Where in your day do you usually wait for motivation, and what action can you take first to spark it instead Think about your last client meeting. What did your face, tone, and posture communicate before you said a word What bold claim about your service are you willing to make today, and what specific action will you take to back it up Notable Quotes Attitude is the foundation and enthusiasm is the expression. Do not wait for motivation. Take the action and let the action create the energy. Clients already believe you are the best or they would not have called. Do not talk them out of it. Follow A.Z.

Mark sits down with longtime educator and community pillar Steve Waisgerber for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation about teaching, history, technology, and finding purpose after retirement. They reflect on the changing nature of education, the potential of AI in the classroom, and the power of vulnerability in student learning. Steve shares lessons from decades of service as a history teacher and coach, including how trust, curiosity, and authentic relationships are at the heart of every great classroom experience. Takeaways Curiosity and enthusiasm are essential for effective learning. AI can enhance teaching but cannot replace the human element. Building relationships with students is crucial for their success. Vulnerability in students can lead to greater learning opportunities. Failure is a necessary part of growth and learning. Teachers must adapt to the changing landscape of education. The importance of emotional intelligence in education cannot be overstated. Engagement is key to effective teaching and learning. Finding purpose in teaching can lead to a fulfilling career. The future of education will be shaped by technology and human connection. American history is rich with periods of progress and change. The complexities of historical figures reflect the duality of their legacies. Debating historical perspectives fosters critical thinking. Third parties can play a crucial role in American politics. Disruption in politics may lead to necessary change. War often serves the interests of the wealthy. Music and cycling are personal passions that connect to broader themes.

HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Mark McCully GUEST: Paul Hill Paul Hill says he's been lucky in life, but his path would indicate more than luck. The longtime Angus breeder grew up on a peanut farm and commercial cattle operation in Florida, but his lifetime in the cattle business has taken him from Missouri to the East Coast and eventually to Ohio. Paul and his business partner, Marshall Reynolds, founded Champion Hill Angus and grew it into a leading Angus program across the country, especially well known for their success in the show ring. Here he shares the secret to finding the right cow lines, his philosophy around seizing opportunities and the role of surrounding yourself with good people. GUEST: Longtime Angus breeder Paul Hill is most notably associated with Champion Hill Angus, Bidwell, Ohio, which he owned and operated with his wife, Lynn, and business partner, Marshall Reynolds. They dispersed in 2017 but still remain involved in various ways. The Hills raised two daughters in the Angus business, Sarah and Neenah. Sarah served as 1992 Miss American Angus and on the National Junior Angus Board of Directors in 1993-1994. Paul's career started at the Herdsman Institute, with an intermission for service in the Army during the Vietnam War. He worked for Briarhill Angus Farms in Union Springs, Ala., in 1971, as in Connecticut, South Carolina and Virginia before working for Marshall Reynolds 1990. The two became business partners in 1993, founding Champion Hill Angus. The herd, which included 200 donor cows and 900 recipients, had a year-round breeding program to maximize the use of recipients and supply the demand for show heifers. Paul served on the American Angus Association Board of Directors and was chairman in 2007-2008. During his time on the Board, he was a four-year chairman of the Angus Foundation, helping guide the structure that's in place today and spearheading the $11 million Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus.

Enthusiasm retreated last week despite analysts raising price targets on Nvidia (NVDA) says Jenny Horne. She offers a big picture perspective around the A.I. giant ahead of its highly anticipated report. Jenny also touches on Nvidia's ability to navigate tariffs as it seeks to grow its already expansive network consisting of hardware and software. She later turns to other A.I. topics in Intel (INTC) and the U.S. government's 10% stake in the company.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

What if Flight MH370 wasn't just lost, but simply became hidden from view? In this episode with controversial youtuber Ashton Forbes, we take the mystery seriously: not as magic, but as a challenge to what we think we know about plasma, quantum mechanics, and fusion. The question isn't about belief, but about possibility: if teleportation happened, what physical mechanisms could explain it? We're at the edge of reason for this one, where mystery bashes up again rationality.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Ashton's YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCHmFQzkpaJBSDD1PPFhPPSg 00:00 Go!

Dating And Sex As A Disciple Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone DESIRES to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (NKJV) Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (NIV) 1. LOVE GOD FIRST 2. LOVE YOURSELF SECOND Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (NIV) 2A. GET YOUR IDENTITY RIGHT Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (NIV) Mark 10:6–7 “ But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, (NIV) 2B.

Listen along as Mike Gaston continues our series through Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 10:1-48 - Jack reading Slides Slide 1 Big Idea Christ's plan includes not just us, but all the nations of the world. How will we respond? Slide 2 (Map of Israel showing Joppa and Caesarea, to be emailed separately) Slide 3 “It is more likely, therefore, that the point is that the Lord's command frees Peter from any scruples about going to a Gentile home and eating whatever might be set before him. It would be a short step from recognizing that Gentile food was clean to realizing that Gentiles themselves were ‘clean' also.” Tyndale Commentary, I. Howard Marshall Slide 4 “The conversion of Cornelius was a landmark in the history of the gospel's advance from its strictly Jewish beginnings to its penetration of the Roman Empire. True, it did not settle any of the issues relating to Jewish-Gentile relations within the church, nor did Jewish believers take it as a precedent for direct outreach to Gentiles. But it did show that the sovereign God was not confined to the traditional forms of Judaism and that He could bring a Gentile directly into relationship with himself through Jesus Christ and apart from any prior commitment to distinctive Jewish beliefs or lifestyle.” Richard N. Longenecker Slide 5 John 10:16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. Slide 6 Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Slide 7 Three possible responses to God's plan for the nations Hostility Indifference Enthusiasm Slide 8 Mike's Definition of Missions: God is using the preaching of the gospel to turn rebellious sinners around the world into redeemed worshippers of His Son Jesus Christ … … and WE GET TO HELP!

Send us a textThe hosts explore the persistence of certain stories in the media, utilizing the current examples of the ongoing narrative surrounding Emmanuel Macron and his partner, Bridgette, as well as the enduring conflict in Gaza. They discuss the spiritual implications of these stories, the states of consciousness they represent. They share about how confusing our "personal," "business" and social can get confused and perpetuate situations we can outgrow. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity and personal loyalty to your spiritual responsibility for being here in the face of overwhelming narratives and issues.A few of the takeaways are:The stories we see in the media often reflect an inner state of consciousness.Discernment is essential in understanding which narratives to engage with and which to let go.The energy we invest in conflicts can perpetuate them; withdrawing the energy of your thoughts and focus through self respect, trust and direct action leads to their resolution.There is spiritual growth in recognizing and addressing unresolved issues in our lives.The Israel-Gaza conflict serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of human conflicts and the lessons we must learn.Clarity in our inner lives can help us navigate the chaos of external narratives.It has been 5 full years of EXPANSION, ENTHUSIASM and GROWTH by sharing weekly content and bringing forth our love of sharing through podcasting.

Faith Lit the Fire of Freedom. Lynette Kittle reminds us that the fight for liberty wasn’t just political—it was deeply spiritual. John Adams and other Founding Fathers understood that freedom begins with God. Influenced by the Great Awakening, their pursuit of independence was undergirded by prayer, Scripture, and a firm belief in God’s providence. From James Madison’s defense of religious liberty to Benjamin Franklin’s reflections on virtue and morality, America’s foundations were built on the understanding that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
