If you're feeling drained despite all your efforts to manage your time and boundaries, you're probably making these three critical mistakes that are actually robbing you of the very energy you're trying to preserve. This episode reveals why your current strategies are backwards and what to focus on instead. Mistake #1: Waiting for Others to ChangeThe biggest energy drain is believing that other people or circumstances changing is the solution to feeling better. You're living in "when then" mode. When your partner changes, when you have more time, when your kids are older, when you get a new job, THEN you'll have energy for yourself.This is giving away your power entirely.External circumstances changing doesn't automatically give you more energy or make you prioritize yourself better.If you believe your husband, kids, or schedule needs to change before you can feel better, you're putting yourself in a powerless position where forces outside of you control your wellbeing. That costs you massive amounts of energy because you're fighting what you can't control. Mistake #2: Thinking It's a Time Management ProblemThis is like slapping lipstick on a pig. You're looking for a solution to the wrong problem.Time management is easy when you know how you're prioritizing your time and what needs to get done. No system or strategy is going to give you more energy. The people Lisa works with are some of the most productive people she's ever met. They're so productive they don't even realize they're over-functioning way beyond what they need to do in a day.Here's what's really happening: you create organized systems and free up space, then immediately fill that space back up because you're uncomfortable with calm. You say you want more time and energy, but you're actually more committed to filling that time because you feel calm in the chaos.It takes serious nervous system regulation to get comfortable being calm in the calm. Most people feel more comfortable in chaos than in peace, so they'll always create things to bring them back to busyness. Mistake #3: Using Worry as a Problem-Solving StrategyThis is where Lisa gets really honest about her own patterns. Worrying and focusing on the problem as a way to fix the problem. Many of Lisa's clients have unraveled the belief that there's even a problem when often what they find is they've created a problem where none existed.Consider what worry is giving you. Many of us learned that the more we worry, the more responsible we're being about handling things. But where did you learn that worry was the way to solve problems? You get more of what you focus on.Lisa shares her personal example with money worry. She didn't have a money problem she had a worry-about-money problem. She spent tremendous energy worrying about debt, asking herself how she'd pay it off, if she'd be okay. Then she developed a strategy to break the worry cycle. Lisa's Worry-Breaking StrategyShe started asking herself: "Is anything different today from yesterday?" The answer was always no. "Did you spend all day yesterday worrying?" Yes. "Did that change anything?" No. "Is anything different today?" No. "Did anything bad happen yesterday?" No.Day after day after day, she had evidence that worrying wasn't changing anything and nothing bad was actually happening. No bill collectors showed up. Nobody took her car. Nothing bad was happening. In that moment, she'd tell herself to stop spending energy worrying and put that energy into being responsible for doing things that would support the outcome she wanted.If something had changed when she asked those questions, it still came back to: what do I need to take responsibility for in this moment? Then she'd do that thing and move on. Ready to break these energy-draining patterns and create sustainable energy that supports your extraordinary life?

External appearances can be deceiving. Jesus teaches us that true value isn't measured by wealth, status, or public piety - but by the heart behind our actions.Are we motivated by pride, greed, and hypocrisy? Or do we embody humility, sacrifice, and reliance on God?Today, let's examine our hearts and ask: What truly weighs more in God's eyes? A widow's humble copper coins or the showy donations of the wealthy?Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Exiting a business can be one of the most rewarding moments of an entrepreneur’s journey—or one of the most costly mistakes if handled poorly. Many sellers unknowingly leave hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, on the table simply because they aren’t prepared for the exit process. Jaryd Krause speaks with Domenic Rinaldi, a seasoned M&A advisor and owner of Sun Acquisitions, who has successfully guided over 500 business transactions. As the founder of K2 Advisor, Domenic specializes in helping business owners understand exactly what it takes to execute a profitable and stress-free exit. Together, they break down the biggest mistakes sellers make when exiting their businesses and how to avoid them. You’ll discover: ✔️ How owner involvement and single-source dependencies can destroy your business valuation ✔️ Why many sellers are blindsided by market shifts, tariffs, and environmental changes ✔️ The critical role of value drivers and how to identify them before going to market ✔️ What can go catastrophically wrong during a deal—and how the right advisory team can prevent it ✔️ Why you should always be “exit ready,” even if selling isn’t on your immediate horizon If you’re preparing to sell your business—or simply want to protect the value you’ve built—this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you exit on top.

This episode explores the powerful role identity and labels play in the life of a pet sitter. Too often, we adopt labels given by clients, colleagues, or even ourselves—like “just a dog walker”—without questioning if they reflect our full value. We discuss how external and internal labels shape confidence, pricing, and client relationships, and how narrowing our identity increases the risk of burnout. Practical reflection exercises help reframe limiting labels and uncover hidden strengths that influence both business and personal growth. At the heart of it all is this reminder: you are valuable not because of your revenue or role, but simply because you are you. Main Topics Labels that shape our identity External vs. internal labels Reframing limiting self-talk Confidence in pricing and value Avoiding burnout through perspective Main takeaway: “You are valuable because you are you.” This reminder goes beyond business, beyond the labels others give us, and even beyond the titles we cling to for security. Too often, we define ourselves by how others see us or by how much money our business makes. But your worth isn't tied to revenue, reviews, or the number of clients you serve. You bring value simply by being who you are—your experiences, your passions, your personality, and your humanity. When we remember this, our confidence grows, our pricing reflects our true worth, and our client relationships deepen. Never forget: I am is a complete sentence.

Love Isn't Always Easy. Love Costs Something. Love Sees Beyond the External. Love Isn't Always Easy Loving someone can be risky and difficult. It takes vulnerability and can be hard. 1 Cor 13:4-7. Loving someone is easy when people are nice but can be quite a challenge when there is tension, disagreement, or pride involved. Luke 19:1-10. Jesus' was judged for his association with people that others viewed as “sinners” and “unclean”. Love Costs Something Loving someone often requires sacrifice and giving of yourself in ways that are not preferred (or undesirable). John 15:9-13, 17. Jesus commanded his followers to love each other as he loved them and to be willing to sacrifice everything. John 13:1-15, 34-35. The example Jesus left his disciples is to be willing to do the lowest task in serving each other. By loving each other in this way, you will make known to other people that you are Christ's disciples. Love Sees Beyond the External Appearances can be deceiving. What is on the outside is not what is important, but what is on the inside is what matters. 1 Samuel 16:1-12. As humans, we can get caught up with thinking about how things look and miss the more important traits of who a person is. Romans 2:11. God does not show favoritism but welcomes everyone to come to Him through His Son, Jesus. John 4:1-30. Jesus' disciples only saw a Samaritan woman and missed the whole point of what was happening.The post Film Series 2: How to Train Your Dragon and Christian Love first appeared on Living Hope.

Hi guys!Have you ever worn an outift that someone else said looked great but you felt soooo uncomfortable in? What we wear matters! Here's why!Comfort isn't confined to sweatpants and t-shirts.The right outfit can elevate how we feel.Clothes are an expression of who we are.You can't look your best if you don't feel your best.Dressing for yourself is empowering.Comfort and confidence go hand in hand.External opinions can drown out your own voice.Choose clothes that make you feel like you.Honor yourself in your clothing choices.Dressing well can change how you show up in the world.clothing, comfort, self-expression, personal style, confidence, fashion, wardrobe, self-identity, style tips, dressing for yourself

As part our our How To Do Tāntrik Pūjā lecture series, we've recently been exploring the topic of mānasa pūjā, or Mental Worship vs External Worship by looking at theMantra for Mental Worship | Mānasa Pūjā which if you recall, is the mantra we used in this talk How To Worship Mā Kālī Mentally (Mānasa Pūjā)! Now, I often argue that cultivating of our inner world through techniques such as mānasā pūjā (which is part of a broader practice in the Tāntrik tradition called bhāvanā orcreative, dynamic visualization) is The Most Important Spiritual Resource. The quality of our so-called "external reality" is wholly determined by our inner state since the world is nothing but an appearance within Consciousness! As such, interiorized practices like this are so wonderful for refining our inner state and aligning it with the Absolute. But Mānasa-pūjā is also very helpful in the context of Kālī sādhana for doing things like Substituting the Pañcamakāras, Forbidden Offerings & also for  Substituting Animal Sacrifice & Other Transgressive Offerings in Kālī Worship for those whose temperament might not lean this way and who might still want to participate somehow in these more vīra-bhāva-esque practices that come with the territory. So having given so many lectures now on the beauty and importance of mānasa-pūjā, I wanted to spend a little time in this talk reminding us why external rituals are also so important! After all, Tantra is essentially, ritualism! Often, when we understand something of interior worship, we might become very quick to dismiss external forms! And in truth, this is also a valid approach and this what the Samaya-marga or "right hand path" in Tantra tries to do. And in one sense, the Kaula marga is more likely to emphasize externals since in the Kaula view, the "external" is nothing but God embodied! And since we tend to lean towards the latter approach in our community, I first present some arguments for the importance of externals before presenting two very important techniques in tantra that complement external worship: substitution and interiorization!Jai Mā!Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Ever catch yourself doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out what the other playground parents think of your snack choices? Or maybe you're the type who rehearses conversations in your head before parent-teacher conferences? (Guilty as charged over here!) Today we're diving into something that literally changed my entire parenting game: learning the fine art of minding your own business. And trust me, it's way more revolutionary than it sounds. I'm getting real about my journey from chronic approval-seeker to someone who can actually sleep at night without worrying if the neighbors think I'm too lenient with screen time. Plus, I'm sharing that cringe-worthy moment when I watched former friends from my kitchen window and had the most uncomfortable (yet life-changing) realization ever. What You'll Discover The Party Revelation: Picture this, you're at a family gathering with 50 people. If you could actually control everyone's opinion of you, they'd ALL think the exact same thing, right? Plot twist: they absolutely don't! The Amazon Review That Rocked My World: How one anonymous review taught me everything about the difference between criticism and truth (spoiler: most criticism says way more about them than you) The Peach Principle: Sometimes you're just not someone's flavor, and that's totally okay! You can be the most amazing peach in the produce section, but some people are just apple people. From Playground to Peace: Why your kids actually need you to stop caring so much about what everyone thinks of your parenting choices The Real Talk Moments News flash: You literally cannot control other people's minds (I know, shocking!)That criticism from your mother-in-law? It's really just her sharing her worldviewYour kids can totally sense when you're performing instead of parentingBeing willing to be disliked is actually a superpower (who knew?)Quotes That Hit Different "You can be the juiciest peach in the world, but there's always gonna be somebody who doesn't like peaches, and it's not the peach's fault." "All we need is that freedom to allow people to be who they are without judgment, and sometimes people are gonna be critical." "When you don't need someone else's approval and you don't take on their criticism, you become free to create whatever you want in your life." Your Next Steps (Because We Love Action!) Ready to practice this whole "minding your own business" thing? Start here:Notice when you're editing your parenting for an audienceAsk yourself: "Wait, whose approval am I chasing right now?"Remember: Their thoughts about you = their stuff, not yoursGive yourself permission to be someone's "not my cup of tea" parentPractice validating yourself instead of seeking gold stars from everyone elseNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Pastor David Sluka  Sermon: The Internal and External Call for Missions  Passage: Acts 13.1-3  Series: Acts - To the Ends of the Earth  August 3, 2025 

Pastor Heath Lambert tackles a crucial theological question: Was Jesus tempted, and what does that mean? Discover the difference between external and internal temptation, and how understanding these distinctions helps us comprehend how Jesus could be "tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin."TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Question About Jesus' Temptation0:49 - What Is Temptation? The Basic Question1:32 - Type 1: External Temptation (Tempting Situations)1:40 - Example: Stack of $100 Bills in Empty Room2:27 - Type 2: Internal Temptation (Spiritual Corruption)2:42 - James 1:14: Lured and Enticed by Own Desire3:45 - How External and Internal Temptations Connect4:00 - Personal Examples: Tofu Salad vs. Blueberry Muffin4:25 - The Key Difference: Situational vs. Spiritual4:53 - Jesus Was Tempted: Matthew 4:1 Evidence5:15 - Hebrews 4:15: Tempted in Every Way, Yet Without Sin6:01 - James 1:13: God Cannot Be Tempted with Evil6:19 - The Solution: Two Kinds of Temptation Applied to Jesus7:00 - How Jesus Faced External Without Internal CorruptionMAIN POINTS- Two Kinds of TemptationExternal temptation consists of tempting situations or circumstances (like finding money when alone), while internal temptation involves corrupt cravings and sinister desires within the heart. External temptation becomes spiritually significant only when it meets internal corruption.- External Temptation Is Situational, Not Necessarily SinfulBeing in a potentially tempting situation isn't inherently wrong. The sinfulness comes from the internal response - the corrupt desire that matches up with the external opportunity. Different people are tempted by different external circumstances based on their internal desires.- Jesus Faced All External TemptationsScripture clearly states that Jesus was "tempted in every way as we are" (Hebrews 4:15) and was "led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil" (Matthew 4:1). Every potentially tempting situation that exists confronted Jesus during His earthly ministry.- Jesus Had No Internal CorruptionThough Jesus faced all external temptations, He had no internal corruption or sinful desires to match them. His heart was always trusting in the Lord and wanting to do righteousness. This is why He could be tempted externally yet remain "without sin" - there was no internal spiritual corruption to respond to the external circumstances.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESPrimary Passages:Matthew 4:1 - Jesus led into wilderness to be temptedHebrews 4:15 - Tempted in every way as we are, yet without sinJames 1:13-14 - God cannot be tempted; each person tempted by own desireSupporting Context:James 1:13 - Let no one say when tempted, "I am being tempted by God"James 1:14 - Each person is lured and enticed by his own desire1 John 2:16 - The desires of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation beyond what you can bearHave a question you'd like answered?

This week's a special one. I'm going back to one of the most important lessons I've ever taught.  Self-awareness. Not the generic, “journal your feelings” kind. I'm talking about a powerful, real-world framework that shows you where your life is out of alignment.  Most people define self-awareness as “knowing yourself.”But there are actually two types: Internal self-awareness: How well do you know who you are? External self-awareness: Do you understand how others perceive you?  Both matter. A lot.  And most people aren't nearly as accurate as they think. That misalignment causes stress. Bad decisions. Unfulfilling jobs. Relationships that drain instead of energize. In today's lesson, I walk you through the six pillars of self-awareness.  It's THE practical way to measure whether your life, work, thoughts, goals, and habits are aligned with the person you say you want to be.  This isn't theory. It's a diagnostic.And it's going to help you course-correct in a powerful way.  If your inner and outer life feel even a little out of sync… this one's for you.

You're already creating valuable content, you just haven't captured it yet. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to repurpose your team meetings, trainings, and leadership insights into high-impact recruiting content that builds trust before the first call is even booked. You don't need more hours. You need a system that documents your leadership and turns it into content your ideal recruit actually wants to see. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – You're already creating content. You just haven't systemized how to capture and share it yet. [01:00] Why It Matters – Recruiting content builds visibility and trust before the first meeting ever happens. [02:00] Step 1: Redefine What Content Is – Content isn't marketing. It's leadership in public. Rants, frameworks, stories, even phrases are assets. [03:00] Step 2: Capture Everything – Record all team huddles, Zooms, whiteboards, and voice notes. Every great moment is a seed. [04:00] Step 3: Extract and Translate – Look for passionate moments, steps, phrases, and breakthroughs. Turn them into short posts or video clips. [05:00] Step 4: Build a Weekly Rhythm – Block one hour each week to harvest and post content. Delegate when possible. [06:00] Step 5: Speak to Your Ideal Recruit – Tailor every piece to what your best hires value most, autonomy, growth, clarity, or community. [07:00] Step 6: Use Content in Conversations – DM your posts as follow-up. Share clips to warm up cold leads. [08:00] Step 7: Reuse and Compound – Great content doesn't expire. Repost your best ideas and let repetition build trust. [08:30] Step 8: Build a Content Vault – Store 30 to 100 short assets you can use to drip value to recruits over time. Key Takeaways Document, Don't Create – Your leadership is already producing great content. Just start capturing it. Content Builds Trust Before the Call – Your ideal recruit should feel like they already know you before you ever meet. Post With Purpose – Speak directly to the pain points and goals of your top recruits. Use Content as a Recruiting Tool – Don't just post and hope. DM your posts. Drip your vault. Make it part of the pipeline. Start Simple, Stay Consistent – One insight, one post, every week. That's all it takes to go from invisible to top of mind. Recruits don't follow the most polished pitch. They follow the most consistent presence. Show them how you lead before you ever ask them to follow.

Let me be real with you—it's time to stop seeking external validation. That need for approval? It's robbing you of power, money, and freedom. You were not put here to chase permission. You were put here to create. Stop Seeking External Validation in Sales In sales, the moment you seek someone else's approval, you've already […] The post Stop Seeking External Validation: How the Universe Really Responds appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

When life falls apart, the instinct is to fix everything around us. But what if the real transformation begins when we stop fixing and start listening? In this solo episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I explore what really happens beneath the surface when everything seems to fall apart — whether it's a divorce, job loss, burnout, or simply the feeling that something isn't right. Most of us are wired to chase external fixes, but these surface-level changes rarely lead to lasting relief. Instead, I invite you to turn inward and ask a radically different question: What is this crisis trying to show me about myself? From perfectionism and people-pleasing to over-responsibility and emotional avoidance, I unpack the deep-rooted patterns that often lead to breakdown. And I offer a new path — one rooted in slowing down, being with discomfort, and rebuilding from a place of presence and alignment. This isn't about bouncing back. It's about becoming who you were meant to be all along.   What we explore External fixes feel productive, but rarely heal the root cause. Crises are often invitations, not punishments. Patterns like people-pleasing and overachievement stem from early survival strategies — but they eventually lead us out of alignment.
 Healing requires slowing down, being with discomfort, and allowing clarity to emerge. Rebuilding your life starts by asking: Who am I becoming in this process? Feeling like life is falling apart? You don't have to figure it out alone. My coaching programs are designed to support your transformation from the inside out.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My Guest: Tim Ferriss is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers (including The 4-Hour Work Week, Tools of Titans, and Tribe of Mentors). His podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, has been listened to more than a billion times. Tim was an early investor in Uber, Shopify, Twitter, Alibaba, and many others. He's the creator of a new card game called COYOTE. Decision making - How can I win even if I lose? He viewed angel investing like his personal MBA. Instead of paying for business school, he invested in companies and learned about business by working with actual businesses. He didn't expect to make money on those investments. That was just a bonus. Think, “How can I win even if I lose?” Tim won with those investments, regardless of whether he made money or not on them. Key Takeaways and Learnings: Parents Who Foster Curiosity – Tim's mother created a "books are always in budget" policy despite tight finances. Used remainder tables at bookstores to expose him to random, off-menu knowledge that sparked lifelong curiosity about unconventional topics. Curiosity-Driven Exploration – When Tim showed interest in marine biology, his mom found Frank Mundus (inspiration for Jaws character), arranged a meeting, and created low-cost adventures like crab fishing with chicken bones to fuel his interests. The Mask You Wear Becomes You – "Be very careful what you pretend to be" - spent years presenting as overly serious to be taken seriously, which created a recursive feedback loop. Now embraces more play and laughter to avoid burnout.  Fiction and Poetry as Life Teachers – Shifted from non-fiction purist to reading more fiction/poetry. Recommends "Ozymandias" as a monthly reminder that all achievements fade: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains." Internal vs External Scorecards – Money and fame amplify whatever's underneath, like alcohol or power. "If you have certain insecurities or paranoia, all of those are going to be amplified. If you're generous, that's also gonna be the case." Effectiveness Over Efficiency – "Effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things well, but doing something well does not make it important." Focus on choosing the right targets rather than optimizing everything. Strategic Slack in Systems – Moved away from filling every 10 minutes. Takes 10 minutes each morning with coffee to read fiction/poetry/meditate to prove "you do not have to front flip out of bed and land in a full sprint." How to Win Even If You Fail – Project selection framework: "How can I win even if I fail?" Focus on relationships built and skills acquired that transfer beyond the project if external metrics don't pan out. The COYOTE Game Philosophy – Created a card game to address the social isolation epidemic. "People don't have a shortage of productivity advice... It's taking some steam out of the system and actually enjoying what you have worked so hard for." Social Bonds as Foundation – "It's the relationships, stupid." Countries rated happiest fundamentally come down to social ties. In-person social interactions are down 70% in certain age groups over the last 10 years. Podcasting as Relationship Building – "My goal is not to have 100% of my audience like any episode... but I do want 10% of my audience to love each episode." The personal is the most universal. Fame's Hidden Costs – With the audience size of major cities comes proportional number of unstable people. "If you have a small village, you're gonna have one village idiot... "How many crazy people are there in New York City?" "Be suspicious of what you want."   Tim read me the poem by Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley "If more information were the answer, we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs." Be a talent scout - You don't need a huge network. A+ players in one area know A+ players in others. Seek out people who are great at what they do, regardless of what they do. Study what makes them great at that thing. Then you'll probably meet other A+ players. Also, it's on us to strive to be an A+ player at what we do. Be so good at whatever your thing is that other A+ players want to meet you. Tim has been very good at that. Quotes: "Be very careful what you pretend to be... the mask you wear often becomes the person you are." "Be suspicious of what you want." (Rumi) "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains." "Effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things well, but doing something well does not make it important." "How can I win even if I fail?" "The personal is the most universal." "It's the relationships, stupid." "If more information were the answer, then we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs." "Follow your curiosity and obsessions with great rigor. Do that and I like your chances." "The superheroes you have in your mind are nearly all walking flaws who've maximized one or two strengths." "You don't need a huge network... the super A+ players tend to know other A+ players." Life Lessons: Cultivate Childhood Curiosity – Create "always yes" policies for learning and exploration. Use constraints (like remainder tables) to discover unexpected interests. Embrace Strategic Experimentation – View life as a series of 6-12-month projects with 2-4 week experiments. Design studies to get feedback, not just chase outcomes. Balance Seriousness with Play – Taking yourself too seriously leads to burnout. Build in recovery phases and "deloading" periods across all life areas. Choose Projects for Learning – Select opportunities based on relationships you'll build and skills you'll acquire, not just potential external rewards. Start With Personal Pain Points – Best opportunities often come from solving problems you personally understand deeply, then expanding adjacent. Build Safety Nets First – Like Arnold's real estate, before acting, create financial/emotional cushions that allow you to say no and wait for right opportunities. Quality Over Quantity in Relationships – Better to have deep connections with fewer people than surface-level networks with many. Morning Rituals Create Calm – Prove to your nervous system you don't have to be frantic by taking 10 minutes each morning for something peaceful. Scratch Your Own Itch – Whether in podcasting, investing, or any pursuit, follow genuine personal interest for sustainable energy and authentic results. Prepare for Success Taxes – Fame and wealth amplify existing traits. Address insecurities and develop strong boundaries before scaling. Value Present Experience – Focus on daily energy in/out rather than constantly deferring happiness to future achievements. Apply to be part of my next Learning Leader Circle.

Why I'm not finished yet seeking to improve my rowing technique. Timestamps 00:45 There is no stroke I've ever taken which is perfect yet why do I keep trying? My rowing started as a student in a bank tub, a tub pair and then a clinker eight. One of my first videos showed that I lunged at the catch - this fault has stayed with me ever since! I revert and then correct many times. 03:00 The importance of drills Taught me ways to separate each part of the stroke or exaggerate the movements - so I learned to separate different body parts moving. 04:00 Sculling - a new challenge Starting to scull I began to learn how to make the boat glide. I could see why people choose rowing because it felt so good. The learning journey is a series of steps - I had jumped ahead and then couldn't regain that feeling. I needed to go back and fill in the gaps in my learning so that I could consistently make the movements. Single sculling taught me how to recruit more muscles - how each part contributes to the rowing stroke. Notably, my glutes were a gap in my learning. It also helped my mental endeavour - anything happening was caused by me and the resolution was also mine. I took on new challenges like steering and sweeping on both sides. Sculling taught me boat feel - how the boat responded to the water conditions and the weather. External stimuli taught me how to adjust the stroke to respond to these. Dissipating negative effects caused by externalities or taking advantage of positive influences. Small adjustments to how I was sculling was a good lesson. 07:00 Style versus technique The continuous learning journey is a series of steps forward and backwards. I came to understand the difference between rowing style and technique - viewing scullers from a distance, you can recognise individual people. Now as a masters rower, aging adds another dimension. As my body changes I'm making different adaptations and changes e.g. strength training. And different challenges - learning to blend crews together from differing techniques. The pleasure of making a crew fire by everyone making small changes so we together make the boat go better is high. My perfect stroke today in this crew will be different from that in another crew lineup. The journey is never only, the challenges continue. Enjoying the process of the journey rather than seeking a singular destination is why I love being a masters rower still working on finding the perfect stroke. Want easy live streams like this?

In this enlightening presentation, Alex Meaney breaks down the fundamental concepts of airflow in HVAC systems using practical analogies and real-world examples. Rather than diving straight into complex mathematics, Alex focuses on helping technicians and contractors understand what's actually happening inside ductwork and why traditional design methods may be falling short in modern residential systems. Alex begins by addressing one of the most critical yet misunderstood aspects of ductwork: the exponential relationship between duct size and airflow capacity. He explains that the difference between a 6-inch and 7-inch duct isn't just 17% more capacity—it's actually 36% more, because airflow is determined by cross-sectional area (which increases geometrically) rather than linear measurements. This fundamental misunderstanding leads to significant underperformance in many HVAC installations. The presentation tackles the confusion surrounding pressure terminology in the HVAC industry, where the single word "pressure" is used to describe four distinct concepts: static pressure, velocity pressure, pressure loss, and external static pressure. Alex uses creative analogies, including a memorable demonstration with an inflatable tube dancer (referencing the "used car lot" in his title), to illustrate how static pressure and velocity pressure are always in balance—when one increases, the other decreases proportionally. A major focus of the discussion centers on why the traditional 0.1 inches of water column per 100 feet friction rate, long considered standard in residential duct design, is no longer adequate for modern systems. Alex explains that today's homes have evolved significantly: they're larger, use more restrictive filters for air quality, have more complex coil designs, and often place equipment in suboptimal locations. These factors combine to create much higher system resistance than the 0.1 standard was designed to handle. He advocates for using lower friction rates (like 0.06) and emphasizes that proper duct sizing is more critical than ever. The presentation concludes with practical insights about system design philosophy, emphasizing that while homeowners may not complain about poorly performing systems, HVAC professionals should use objective measurement tools rather than customer satisfaction as the primary indicator of system performance. Alex stresses that craftsmen in the field will make systems work regardless of design flaws, but this shouldn't excuse poor initial design practices. Key Topics Covered Duct Sizing Fundamentals The geometric relationship between duct diameter and airflow capacity Why linear measurements can be misleading when calculating system performance The critical importance of proper duct sizing in modern installations Pressure Concepts Demystified Static pressure vs. velocity pressure and their inverse relationship How pressure and friction work together in ductwork systems External static pressure as a measure of fan capability The role of pressure in airflow generation and control Friction and Resistance in Ductwork Understanding friction as the primary enemy of airflow How fittings create equivalent lengths of straight duct The impact of direction changes and system components on airflow Comparing flex duct vs. metal duct friction characteristics Modern System Design Challenges Why traditional 0.1 friction rates no longer work effectively The evolution of residential systems: larger homes, better filters, complex coils Equipment placement strategies and their impact on system performance The "war on sensible" and "war on blowers" affecting modern HVAC design Measurement and Verification Methods Tools for measuring static pressure and velocity pressure The importance of using objective measurement tools over customer satisfaction Available static pressure calculations and their practical applications Manual D design principles and their real-world limitations Practical Design Philosophy Working backwards from blower capacity rather than arbitrary friction rates Balancing system performance with budget constraints The importance of central equipment placement for optimal airflow Professional standards vs. "good enough" mentality in system design   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

(Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) When external conditions begin to fluctuate and spin at a fast pace, we need to know how to ground and stabilize ourselves internally. This is what the four foundations of mindfulness are pointing towards. Knowing how to establish mindfulness is an empowerment. It creates agency in oneself and allows us to move through challenging situations with strength and integrity.

In this conversation, Dr. Manny Arango discusses the themes of chaos and order, emphasizing their relevance in various aspects of life, including relationships, entrepreneurship, and personal growth. He explores the biblical interpretation of chaos, the importance of internal freedom, and how to navigate the complexities of life while maintaining order. The discussion also touches on practical strategies for establishing boundaries, understanding rhythms, and the significance of hierarchy in fostering a healthy environment. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the necessity of embracing chaos while imposing order to thrive and flourish in life. Want to know more about Manny's Work?

There are countless sources of distress in our lives. External tragedies and brokenness that threaten our sense of well-being along with our inner sins that take away our peace. But we are not ones who face these things alone or without hope. We have a God we can turn to in our distress, a God who hears us and who comforts us as nothing and no one else can. In this psalm, David cries out to God in his distress. “His holy trust, his many conflicts, his great transgressions, his bitter repentance, and his deep distresses are all here;” comments Charles Spurgeon. In addition to being another acrostic psalm (with each line representing a letter from the Hebrew alphabet) this psalm contains a rhythm of movement between prayer and meditation on God's character.  - Prayer – Psalm 25:1-7 - Meditation – Psalm 25:8-10 - Prayer – Psalm 25:11 - Meditation – Psalm 25:12-15 - Prayer Psalm 25:16-22This is a pattern we can copy to bring comfort and restored hope in the midst of our crying out to God in our distress. Prepare for this weeks teaching by reading Psalm 25. 

With the shock and sadness of Tamy's sudden passing still fresh, we take a closer look at the mechanisms behind elephant rescues and the broader challenges GSE faces. Transparency has always been a core value at GSE, and this extends to Tamy's relocation story.Kat and Scott share their thoughts on how elephants in captivity—particularly in zoos unequipped to meet their complex needs—have often been neglected for decades. While that neglect is quietly accepted by many, efforts to offer these elephants a better life are sometimes met with resistance and public outcry. External pressures, internal politics, complacency, and a reluctance to support meaningful change can ultimately rob elephants of the chance to live with dignity and autonomy—leaving them stuck in inappropriate environments or, as in Tamy's case, passing away before rescue becomes reality.Though we end the podcast in tears, Scott expresses a firm commitment to continue fighting for these elephants, despite this heartbreaking setback.The episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil where Asian and African elephants relocated from across South America live their best lives.Website: https://globalelephants.org/Donate: Global Sanctuary for Elephants is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit.
