“We are about proving ourselves right, not proving others wrong.” Marcus Jones  Super Bowl dreams are on the line. Before stepping onto the field for the AFC Championship, All-Pro Marcus Jones joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about pressure, preparation, and purpose. Marcus breaks down what it really takes to perform when everything's at stake—mentally, physically, and emotionally. From his journey to this moment, to the mindset he's carrying into the biggest game of his career, nothing is off limits. He talks leadership, resilience, staying locked in through the noise, and what fuels him when the lights are brightest. Making history for the Patriots with an interception returned for a touchdown to help lead his team over the Houston Texans to land in the AFC championship, Marcus shares what it's like being underestimated as a defense, even calling out RC on his picks against them in a friendly banter egged on by Channing ofcourse! The guys talk about Cardi B's super fandom, Stefon Diggs' unique leadership qualities and how it's been building a team-first mentality under Coach Vrabel vs his rookie year lessons learned from Coach Belichick. Growing up in a military family that moved around, Marcus has had discipline at the core of everything he does as well as a family-first mentality, appreciating the sacrifices his father made for him and says becoming a young father himself, was pivotal, as he never wants to fail his son, who was recently diagnosed with Autism. This is more than football—it's about belief, sacrifice, and showing up when it matters most. Pivot Family, don't forget to like, comment and hit the subscribe button! We love hearing from you!

Few things feel as heartbreaking as seeing a child face injury, illness, or a frightening diagnosis. This devotional begins from a place of personal vulnerability—the author shares her own fear and anxiety while facing serious medical uncertainty, and that experience opens her eyes even more to the heavy burden children and their families carry. If it’s difficult for an adult to process testing, procedures, and “what if” thoughts, it’s almost unimaginable to consider what it’s like for a child who may not fully understand what’s happening or why. In moments like these, fear can take over quickly. Questions swirl, worst-case scenarios creep in, and daily life becomes hard to focus on. Yet the devotional reminds us that God meets us right in that fear. Isaiah 41:10 is offered as an anchor—God does not leave His people to face hard things alone. He strengthens, helps, and upholds. And while the original words were spoken in a specific context, the heart of the promise reflects God’s unchanging character: He is present with His children in suffering. This devotional also highlights something practical and powerful: prayer. Whether you’re a parent walking through a child’s illness, a loved one supporting a family, or someone who simply feels burdened for children who are suffering, prayer is a meaningful response. Scripture encourages believers to bring sickness and pain before the Lord and to pray as a community. Even when we can’t fix the situation, we can entrust children and their families to the God who can comfort, protect, and provide peace beyond understanding. Today’s prayer is an invitation to ask God to surround hurting children with His peace, strengthen their families, and bring healing and hope. And it’s a reminder that God is good—able to do far more than we can imagine—especially in the hardest places. Main Takeaways Children facing injury or illness carry heavy fears, and their families carry deep burdens too. Medical uncertainty can stir anxiety and “what if” thinking, but God meets us in that fear. God promises His presence, strength, and help—He does not abandon us in suffering. Prayer is a powerful way to support hurting children and families, even from a distance. God can bring comfort, peace, and healing in ways beyond what we can imagine. Today’s Bible Verse “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Please help every child who is going through various treatments and surround them with the peace that only You can provide.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

The conversation starts with her daring career move from a global role at Deloitte to building a new organization from the ground up, which was fueled by a passion for meaningful innovation.If you've ever questioned your own courage to change course or felt the tug-of-war between personal boundaries and professional expectations, Kendra offers practical wisdom. She talks through her steps to manage risk when taking on something new, using self-reflection rather than bravado to guide decision-making. Facing imposter syndrome? She's been there too, and her advice is grounded and honest: focus on your unique contributions and let curiosity lead, especially when you're the newcomer in the room.For leaders building teams, or founders starting with just a vision, the conversation surfaces actionable insights such as the crucial role of constant communication, the importance of recognizing and rewarding small acts of courage in teams, and the need to set and protect personal boundaries to stave off burnout. Kendra is transparent about the challenges of remote work and the ongoing experiment to keep her own organization connected across digital distance.True leadership is about the quality of the questions we ask ourselves and others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about how we can do both.What You'll Learn- Strategies for overcoming the fear of career pivots.- How to motivate teams to embrace innovation… without being annoying!- Balance operational realities with purpose-driven missions.- Build a thriving remote team culture.- Overcoming imposter syndrome and leading as an introvert.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Career Journey: From Deloitte to Ocean Economy(07:06) – Innovating with Purpose: Framing the Right Problem(09:45) – Courage to Change: Navigating Career Transitions(12:29) – Building Organizations from the Ground Up(15:17) – Setting Boundaries & Personal Clarity in Leadership(18:13) – Leading as an Introvert: Speaking, Visibility & Energy(24:28) – Top Leadership Qualities for Today's World(28:15) – Motivating Teams & Driving Innovation(39:09) – Leading in AI & Tech-Driven TimesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Innovation, Purpose-Driven Leadership, Career Transition, Technology Adoption, Artificial Intelligence, Continuous Learning, Remote Work Culture, Organizational Culture, Psychological Safety, Courage, Resilience, Authenticity, Global Mindset, Diversity in Leadership, Work-Life Boundaries, Imposter Syndrome, Trust, Team-Building, Ethics in AI, Burnout Prevention, Curiosity, Change Management, Mentoring, CEO Success

Loneliness keeps rising even as our screens glow brighter, and we wanted to understand why—and what to do about it. We start by reordering the foundations of daily life: God first, then spouse, then family and neighbor. That simple hierarchy changes how we spend time, handle stress, and make sacrifices. Proverbs 5 calls husbands and wives to mutual faithfulness that is lived, not just promised. Matthew 17 reminds us that a mustard seed of faith can move the mountains in our homes and hearts, while a coin in a fish's mouth shows how God provides in the most practical moments. Psalm 22 gives voice to anguish without giving up on trust.From the personal we zoom out to the civic. We honor James Brady's Medal of Honor courage, then look to John Adams' stark warning about unrestrained democracy: passion without guardrails can turn into a mob. We examine how erasing uncomfortable history—whether French terrors, totalitarian purges, or our own national failures—only blinds us to the lessons that keep a republic healthy. Facing the record honestly strengthens love of country because it anchors hope in truth rather than myth.This conversation aims to equip you with grounded steps: choose people over pixels, set a clear order in your home, practice small daily acts of love, read hard history with open eyes, and cultivate a faith that acts. If this resonates, share it with someone you care about, subscribe for more faith-and-history episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.

SEGMENT 12: CHINA'S GROWING THREAT TO JAPAN Guest: Lance Gatling (Tokyo), Co-Host: Thaddeus McCotter Gatling assesses the mounting Chinese military threat facing Japan, including naval provocations and airspace incursions. Discussion examines Japan's defense posture, increased military spending, the importance of the US-Japan alliance in deterring Beijing, and how Tokyo views the security landscape with Trump returning to the White House.

SEGMENT 16: THE CALMING POWER OF KINGSHIP Guest: Gregory Copley Copley offers praise for monarchical systems as stabilizing forces in nations facing discontent. Discussion examines how kingship provides continuity, national unity, and legitimacy that elected leaders often cannot muster, with examples of how constitutional monarchies successfully navigate political turbulence and maintain social cohesion during crises.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Actors TJ Ramini and Darren Hart along with Luke as another wonderful Champions League night in N17 saw us overcome Borussia Dortmund with goals from Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke rounding off an excellent performance. Tuesday's 2-0 victory guaranteed a top 24 finish in the league phase and a play-off place and, depending on Wednesday night's results, it's likely a win at Eintracht Frankfurt next Wednesday will secure a passage straight into the last 16. Facing a Dortmund side which had only lost once in the Bundesliga all season and were joint top scorers in this season's Champions League, we were always on top in the contest, even before Daniel Svensson was given a straight red card in the 26th minute. By that stage, Romero had netted his first Champions League goal for us, while Solanke capped his first start of the season with his first goal of the campaign to put us 2-0 up at the break, a lead we didn't relinquish. It extended our run to 24 home European matches without defeat and four home wins without conceding in the league phase this term, while there was a further bright spot with a debut off the bench for 17-year-old Academy product Jun'ai Byfield, becoming Legacy Number 902 in the process. We also discuss what impact the nature of the result has on under-fire head coach Thomas Frank.

Why are teens and young adults suddenly drawn to reading, crocheting, sewing, walking, and other so-called "grandma hobbies"? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore why slower, quieter pastimes are resurfacing, and why they matter deeply for identity formation. Dr. Kathy explains how hobbies cultivate joy, perseverance, reflection, and self-awareness in a culture driven by speed, comparison, and constant stimulation. Together, they unpack the difference between fleeting happiness and lasting joy, why self-awareness is underdeveloped in today's noisy world, and how practices like crafting, reading, and walking help kids learn to be comfortable with their own thoughts. Grounded in Luke 2 and the ordinary rhythms of Jesus' early life, this conversation encourages parents to reintroduce quiet, purposeful activities, not as escape from life, but as a way for kids to inhabit it more fully.

Facing the dual crises of modern culture and Church confusion, how can Catholic parents build a thriving family? Father of 17 Conor Gallagher provides a surprising answer: order. In this profound conversation, Gallagher draws from business, philosophy, and theology to argue that the same principles that govern successful organizations, vision, unity, systems, and clear authority, are the non-negotiables for a faithful family.He reframes parenting as intentional leadership and marriage as a shared mission, offering practical steps to reduce conflict and increase joy. He urges parents to stop waiting for institutional solutions and start building strong, local "family ecosystems" rooted in faithful parishes, disciplined technology use, and intentional community. This is a hopeful, actionable guide for creating a home that forms children capable of resisting chaos and living with purpose.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

When we reflect on the Nativity, our minds go immediately to St. Joseph. He lived a life of uncertainty, but he was called by God to accomplish the greatest task any man in history was called upon. He may have believed he fell short of that calling, but we know he did not. He embraced this call from Our Lord and answered it with unwavering faith. He may never have believed himself sufficient to what was asked, but through prayer and faith, he accomplished the greatest calling any man could be asked to answer.

 Most people don't wake up wanting to despise someone — yet contempt keeps showing up anyway.In this episode of An Ounce, a small allegorical story reveals how contempt quietly grows, why it feels bigger than it is, and how it loses power when we stop feeding it.This isn't a lecture.It's a pattern worth noticing.If you've ever wondered how disagreement turns into dismissal — and how easily it can be reversed — this one's for you.If it resonates, feel free to share it with someone else who might appreciate it.Another episode you'll also enjoy How to Disagree:  https://youtu.be/qrU64J4jMcIChapters:00:00 – Introduction00:19 – The Unsettling Conclusion00:54 – Introducing the Monster01:48 – Inflated/Deflated02:32 – They Preferred the Monster02:56 – Ridiculous?04:03 – Facing the Annoying Human05:20 – An OunceFurther Reading & ReferencesFor those interested in the psychology behind contempt, disagreement, and how certainty can quietly overpower understanding:• The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work — John GottmanGroundbreaking research identifying contempt as the strongest predictor of relational breakdown.• The Righteous Mind — Jonathan HaidtExplains why people talk past each other — and how moral certainty often outruns understanding.• Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) — Carol Tavris & Elliot AronsonWhy people double down instead of reassessing — and how rehearsal hardens belief.• Meditations — Marcus AureliusA timeless exploration of withholding judgment, resisting contempt, and recognizing shared human frailty.

Is social media always harmful for kids, or can we teach them to use it wisely? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore new research from Australia suggesting a "Goldilocks" window for social media use, where moderate engagement may support connection, but overuse or total avoidance can both undermine wellbeing. Together, they unpack why social media should be treated like any other powerful tool: taught, modeled, limited, and purposefully used. Dr. Kathy explains how parents can establish a healthy social media "diet," why real time relationships matter more than digital ones, and what kids lose when screens crowd out hobbies, service, and embodied belonging. Grounded in Acts 2 and identity formation, this conversation reframes social media not as a villain or a savior, but as something that must never bear the full weight of a child's belonging or identity.

What if the biggest obstacle to your business growth isn't your systems, your team, or your market—but the stories you're telling yourself? Adam Coelho discovered this truth at one of the lowest points in his career. Facing the prospect of losing his job at Google, he could have spiraled into panic and desperation. Instead, he made a choice that changed everything: he shifted his mindset and began envisioning new possibilities. The result? He didn't just save his career—he found a role that aligned perfectly with his vision for the future. Your Brain Is Building Your Future Right Now Here's something most business leaders don't realize: your thoughts aren't just passive observations about reality. They're actively creating it. Adam explains the neuroscience behind this phenomenon—how neuroplasticity and the brain's predictive nature mean that the stories we tell ourselves literally shape what we see, what we pursue, and what becomes possible. This isn't feel-good motivation; it's hard science about how our minds work. Beyond Positive Thinking: Practices That Actually Work Adam doesn't just talk about mindset—he provides concrete practices that busy executives can implement: Journaling that goes beyond venting to actively shape your future vision Strategic conversations where you articulate your vision to others, making it more real Affirmations grounded in possibility rather than wishful thinking Visualization that primes your brain to recognize opportunities Mini-experiments that plant seeds for the future you want without requiring massive commitments These aren't add-ons for when you have spare time. They're strategic tools that can shift how you approach every challenge in your business. The Culture System You're Probably Missing In a fascinating turn, the conversation moves from individual mindset to organizational culture. How do you systematize something as intangible as company values? The Feedback Loop That Drives Continuous Improvement One of the most practical parts of our discussion centers on gathering ongoing feedback from clients and participants. Not annual surveys. Not occasional check-ins. Continuous feedback loops that help you improve in real-time. When Envisioning Meets Action Here's where many mindset discussions fall apart: they focus on thinking differently but forget about doing differently. Adam is crystal clear on this point—envisioning isn't about hoping things will magically improve. It's about priming your mind to recognize and act on opportunities that align with your vision. Why This Matters for Service Business Leaders If you're running a service-based business, you're juggling multiple realities: the business you have today, the business you want to build, and all the friction points between the two. You're managing teams, serving clients, handling operations, and trying to find time to think strategically. When Adam was facing that career crisis at Google, he didn't just update his resume. He changed his story. He envisioned new possibilities. He took action aligned with that vision. And the result was better than simply keeping his old job—it was finding a role that actually fit where he wanted to go.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender step carefully into a painful cultural moment following the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota. Rather than debating politics, they explore how moments of public tragedy and unrest can quietly shape a child's identity, and a parent's emotional posture. This conversation unpacks how fear and uncertainty can begin to define who we think we are if we aren't grounded in something bigger. Dr. Kathy walks through the five key dimensions of identity, intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual, and explains how helping kids develop a big enough identity keeps cultural moments from swallowing them whole. The episode also offers practical guidance for parents who feel overwhelmed themselves: how to apologize when we overreact and how to teach children that sadness is a faithful response before anger. Grounded in the image of Jesus weeping with Mary and Martha, this episode reminds parents that sitting with grief is not weakness, it's formation.

NYC Prep. One of the gone, but definitely not forgotten, classic Bravo TV shows. Born and raised on New York City's Upper East Side, Sydney Sadick's childhood “was” NYC Prep. She has lived the real life “Gossip Girl”. On that note, she stops by to help us break down the classic Bravo TV Show “NYC Prep” which aired for one season, nine episodes, in the summer of 2009. Being the same age as the cast of “NYC Prep”, Sydney remembers the buzz amongst the uptown private elite school system that a real life Gossip Girl was casting way back when. Sydney chats with us about which of the six "NYC Prep” cast members she grew up with and what she knows about each in real life. Next we discuss just how does a show chronicling the lives of six wealthy uptown teenagers get made when those teenagers are going out at night living their lives as if they are adults. We discuss the highs and lows of the show and the public's outcry once the show was aired. We also discuss the glaring lack of parental supervision shown in “NYC Prep” and Sydney breaks down just how accurate a portrayal of a wealthy uptown teenager's life the show was. We discuss why the show did not make it and only lasted for one short lived season. Of course, we also pay homage to its West Coast sister, “The Hills” and its Scripted Cousin “Gossip Girl”. @sydneysadick @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GROW THERAPY - GrowTherapy.com/VELVET (Whatever Challenges You're Facing, Grow Therapy Is Here To Help) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

WASHINGTON'S NAVY AND THE LIFEGUARD Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. Upon arriving in Cambridge in July 1775, George Washington formed a close bond with the Marblehead Regiment, relying on them for security and expertise. Facing a desperate shortage of gunpowder, Washington utilized the Marbleheaders to create an impromptu navy; Captain John Manley successfully captured a British ordinance ship, delivering vital supplies. Washington also established the "Lifeguard" (Commander-in-Chief's Guard) to protect himself and his papers, appointing Marbleheader Caleb Gibbs as commander. The segment describes Beverly as a crucial, difficult-to-navigate port that protected these new cruisers from the Royal Navy. NUMBER 41870
