Podcasts about Falling in love

This week we're picking up where we left off last week after I shared my own journey selling my condo in PR — and this time we're going deep on buying real estate on the island. I sat down with Krystal Vias, a proud Nuyorican and founder of Buy The Block PR, who's on a mission to reconnect la diáspora with Puerto Rico, one block at a time. Krystal didn't step foot on the island until she was 38 and that first trip changed everything. Now she's helping thousands of Boricuas navigate the confusing, often antiquated process of buying property back home, from finding trustworthy realtors to avoiding land scams. We get into the real talk: the identity crisis so many of us in the diaspora carry, conscious investing versus gentrification, and why speaking perfect Spanish is NOT a requirement for belonging. If you've ever thought about buying property on the island, this episode is your permission slip.WE GET INTO:00:00 – Intro: Welcome Krystal Viaz, founder of Buy The Block PR01:26 – Krystal's story: first trip to PR at 38 and falling in love with the island02:26 – Financial education roots + losing her brother-in-law to colon cancer04:49 – Why there's no Cash App or Zelle in PR (and why that's by design)06:44 – What Buy The Block PR actually offers07:40 – Krystal's podcast, By The Blockcast08:14 – Navigating identity: being "from here but also from there"10:34 – Dealing with backlash: "you're not really Puerto Rican"12:37 – Misconceptions about buying property (it's not just hopping on Zillow)13:44 – How to actually find listings on the island16:30 – Vetting real estate agents, lenders, and contractors18:43 – Common scams and red flags to watch for20:17 – The risks of buying land (inheritance issues, unpaved roads, protected land)22:27 – What you need financially before you start looking25:41 – Conscious investing vs. displacement and gentrification30:05 – Airbnb, tax incentives, and long-term rental income34:09 – Building remote income to fund the move37:24 – "Spanish shame" and the myth that fluency is required39:37 – Internal pressure vs. external validation of Latinidad41:25 – The history behind Puerto Rican migration policies43:41 – How to get involved with Buy The Block PR45:19 – Closing thoughts: ownership, privilege, and being about itKEY TAKEAWAYS:Puerto Rico doesn't have one central MLS like the mainland — off-market properties, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth are huge parts of the processYou'll need a trusted, vetted local team (realtor, lawyer, mortgage broker) — and red flags include people who go dark on communicationLand purchases carry unique risks: unresolved inheritance issues, unpaved roads, no electrical/water access, and protected land you can't build onMainland buyers typically need a second-home loan (20% down) unless they can prove 2 years of remote or island-based incomeLong-term rental income in PR can be tax-free — a lesser-known incentive worth knowing aboutConscious investing means asking "how does this affect my neighbors and community?" — not just "what's my ROI?"Not speaking fluent Spanish does NOT disqualify you from reconnecting — the real barrier is internal permission, not languageCONNECT WITH KRYSTAL:Buy The Block PR Website: https://www.buytheblockpr.comBuy The Block PR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/BuytheblockPRTAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH YO QUIERO DINERO:

“The better the foundation is, the more opportunities I'm getting to do exactly that.”Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! This week's episode is another alumni spotlight, and it might be Dan's favorite combination yet: Matthew Sharpe is a licensed therapist — and a stand-up comedian. He put the two together in Standup Therapy Live, where the laughs do the heavy lifting for the mental health lessons. Matt works with high-stress, high-stakes professions — healthcare workers, law enforcement, corrections officers — teaching resilience through humor, complete with a “humor lab” where he makes rooms full of uniformed officers sweat bullets by writing jokes on a 15-minute deadline.But the real story of this episode isn't the comedy — it's the business. Matt just booked out a full week of paid speaking for the first week of October, and every gig in it traces back to a different lesson from The Speaker Lab playbook: cold outreach to people he'd never met, follow-up that turned one law enforcement gig into a repeat booking, and a Department of Corrections client bringing him back to train staff from around their state. He's even had a gig land completely cold — the National Conference of State Legislatures found him through SEO he didn't set up. And then there's the lesson most speakers never learn: Matt genuinely loves the process. The prospecting, the pipeline, even the rejections. Dan also coaches Matt through a proposal that died on price, unpacking budget questions, decision makers, add-on gigs, and the “menu” of offerings that can save a stalled deal.Whether you're still chasing your first paid gig or trying to figure out why your calendar isn't as full as your talent deserves, this conversation is a masterclass in falling in love with the 95% of the work that gets you the 5% on stage.You'll learn:How Matt booked a full week of paid speaking by following the process step by stepThe simple cold email (“quick question — who books your talks?”) that keeps turning into gigsHow follow-up after a gig — the harvest — creates repeat bookingsWhy an inbound gig from SEO is the bonus you earn for doing the workThe mindset shift that separates speakers who burn out from speakers who buildHow to reframe the business side as your foundation, not the tax you pay to performThe 85/15 rule of speaking — and why Dan thinks it's really 95/5How Matt learned to price himself with confidence (and who convinced him to raise his fee)Where a proposal to a doctors' organization stalled — and the budget questions that could have saved itHow add-on gigs and geographic prospecting give you room to get creative with your feeWhy offering a menu — keynote, workshop, reception comedy set — adds value for event plannersAnd much, much more!“Find something new and exciting that makes you laugh every day. It just opens your eyes to new possibilities.”Ready to build a speaking business that books itself — and actually enjoy the work that gets you on stage?

What does it really take to break the cycles you were handed and build something better for the next generation? In this episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Kelby Green, purpose-driven entrepreneur and proud girl dad, for a conversation that moves between boardrooms and bedrooms the business of building a life with intention. Kelby opens up about leaving the corporate world behind, what pushed him toward entrepreneurship, and the hard lessons that came with the leap. Reena and Kelby get into the real work of validating ideas before falling in love with them, why investing in yourself is non-negotiable, and how to network in a way that actually feels human. They also tackle the trickier stuff when to work for free, when to walk away from a partnership, and how to build community around what you create. And woven throughout it all: fatherhood. Kelby reflects on how raising daughters shapes the way he thinks about business, legacy, and what it means to give kids room to figure out who they are.

What does it take to write the very first check into a company that has almost nothing to show yet, sometimes not even a finished idea?Afore Capital helped invent the pre-seed category. When Gaurav Jain and Anamitra Banerji started the firm ten years ago, "pre-seed" was almost a slight, a label for founders who couldn't raise a proper seed round. They set out to build the world's largest pre-seed fund anyway, closing $47 million on a $40 million target, and every fund since has closed above plan. Afore now runs more than $500 million across four funds, with top-quartile DPI on the first three. The idea has become so mainstream that when Sequoia launched its latest fund, it said, "I guess we're pre-seed investors too."The real substance of the conversation is how Gaurav thinks. He is clear about what matters most in venture, and the order tends to surprise people. Being in the very best companies matters more than anything else, ownership comes after that, and the entry price that so many investors fixate on matters least, because fifty per cent of zero is still zero. He is also convinced that the genuine bottleneck is talent. There is a great deal of money in the world and very few people who can build something truly large, which is why at the earliest stage founders tend to choose their investors as much as investors choose them. You give a founder a million dollars with no collateral, and then you still have to convince them to take it.

Some players follow the hype. Others create it every time they step on the floor. Makenzie "The Ansah" Jackson is proving she's one of those players. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the nation's top-ranked Class of 2029 prospects to discuss the journey, mindset, and relentless work ethic that's making her one of the brightest young stars in girls basketball, high school basketball recruiting, and the future of women's basketball.Standing 6-foot-2, Makenzie is a standout at Cypress Springs High School in Texas and one of the premier players on the national stage. Known for her versatility, physicality, elite rebounding, court vision, and ability to impact every aspect of the game, she's already established herself as one of the country's most complete young players. Whether she's scoring inside, pushing the break, finding open teammates, or dominating the glass, Makenzie plays with a confidence that separates her from the competition.Throughout this conversation, Makenzie shares how her basketball journey began after trying soccer before falling in love with the game. Inspired by watching her older sister play and competing against boys at a young age, she quickly developed the toughness and competitive edge that define her game today.One of the biggest themes throughout the episode is versatility. Makenzie explains why she prides herself on being able to do everything on the court—score, rebound, defend, facilitate, and lead. Rather than limiting herself to one role, she's constantly working to become a complete player capable of impacting winning in every possible way.Away from basketball, fans get to know the person behind the rankings. Makenzie talks about her close-knit family, growing up with seven siblings, her love for music, learning to play the piano, and staying grounded despite the growing national attention surrounding her career.The conversation also dives into recruiting and the future. While scholarship offers and national rankings are exciting, Makenzie says education remains the top priority. She wants a college that values academics, provides a family atmosphere, and knows how to maximize her abilities on the court.As one of Texas' premier young prospects, Makenzie has already set her sights on winning a state championship, competing for national titles on the Nike EYBL circuit, earning McDonald's All-American honors, and one day hearing her name called in the WNBA Draft. Those goals aren't just dreams—they're daily motivations that fuel every workout and every game.This episode is packed with valuable lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and basketball fans who love discovering tomorrow's stars before the rest of the country. Makenzie's journey is proof that talent opens doors, but discipline, versatility, and relentless work ethic are what build lasting success.At SportsLifeTalk Media, our mission is to amplify the voices of the athletes, coaches, and leaders shaping the future of girls' and women's basketball.

What does it actually take to build healthy relationships? In this Therapy Thursdays episode, John Kim answers some of the most common questions about love, healing, attachment, and personal growth. From redefining what it means to fall in love to understanding why peace is something you give yourself - not something you find - this episode explores the inner work that shapes the way we connect with others. John shares practical insights on anxious attachment, healing after toxic relationships, rupture and repair, emotional safety, and why the healthiest relationships are built through daily choices rather than fleeting feelings. He also explores the importance of studying yourself, accepting impermanence, and living a "through me" life instead of feeling like life is happening to you. In this episode: • Why peace is something you can give yourself • What it means to live a "through me" life • Why self-help is really the lifelong study of self • How fear of impermanence fuels suffering • The qualities that should never be negotiable in relationships • The difference between falling in love and choosing to love • Signs you're in a healthy, secure relationship • Whether emotional attraction alone is enough • Why every relationship requires rupture and repair • Understanding anxious attachment when you're apart from your partner • How healthy relationships can help support emotional healing • What your nervous system needs after a toxic relationship • Two questions that can help guide your life and relationships

Kelsi and Trey discuss Olivia Wilde's The Invite, one of the sharpest and most cinematically accomplished relationship comedies in years. They break down Wilde's direction and performance, the film's incredible ensemble, and how one chaotic dinner party explores the possibility of falling in love with yourself again. They also answer listener questions about romance and consider whether the end of a marriage must mean that the relationship was a failure.

What You Stare At Steers You | Falling In Love With Jesus | Pastor Larry De La Garza by Riverside Church

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Dr Judith Mackrell, one of Britain's most eminent biographers, chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about her choices while crafting Artists, Siblings, Visionaries: The Lives and Loves of Gwen and Augustus John. Here's what you'll discover in this episode:  Artists, Siblings, Visionaries is the first major dual biography of Gwen and Augustus John, siblings who became two of the most significant British artists of the 20th century. The death of Augusta, Gwen and Augustus's mother, left the young children emotionally bereft, creating in Augustus a compulsive pattern of falling in love with new women, and in Gwen an intense, sometimes obsessive yearning directed at unattainable figures such as the French sculptor, François Auguste René Rodin. Judith challenges the assumption that Augustus's fame damaged Gwen's career. Instead, he was his sister's most devoted advocate and correctly prophesied that history would one day remember him as Gwen's brother. By choosing a dual biography, Judith could use both siblings as a ‘marvellous laboratory', tracking year by year the social, cultural and economic forces that propelled Augustus to fame rapidly while Gwen remained largely unseen, illuminating the structural barriers facing women artists. Judith came to understand Gwen's famous reclusive shyness as a form of armour, a deliberate self-presentation that gave her control over who she engaged with, contradicted by her ferocious capacity for emotional pursuit and sustained creative work. Judith describes herself as a ‘gardener' rather than an ‘architect' of narrative. She begins drafting the manuscript almost from the start of the research, finding that structure emerges organically, with serendipitous connections between the two lives surprising her along the way. For Judith, writing about artists means foregrounding the people, not just the work, asking how two desolate children became artists, and what the interaction was between their art and their lives.

Sara Delancig and Heather Merson discussed their recent experiences with a problematic business client who disappeared without communication after initially appearing perfect for their services. Both hosts had separately met with the client, who checked all their boxes and seemed like an ideal fit, but failed to follow through on commitments and went weeks without responding to communications. Sara emphasized the importance of distinguishing between potential and action, noting that while the client had great potential, his lack of follow-through and communication made him unsuitable for working together. They shared key lessons learned, including the need for contracts up front, requiring prepayment, and being cautious about falling in love with the idea of what could be rather than focusing on actual actions and red flags. The hosts discussed how their natural tendency to see opportunities where others don't actually worked against them in this situation, as it made them blind to warning signs. They concluded by outlining green flags to look for in good clients, including consistent communication, taking ownership, respecting boundaries, following through on commitments, and wanting the ISA's belief more than their specific strategy.

Men are drowning in a culture that rewards the appearance of strength. You've likely heard the term, "ripped, rich, and rare." It misses the one thing that actually builds it: the willingness to fail, feel it, and let their kids watch them do it. Today's guest calls this the "Upside Down Game," the con every man eventually has to walk away from if he wants to become someone worth following. This conversation goes straight at the blindness most men carry about themselves, the resistance that waits for every man trying to change, and why the hardest thing on earth isn't becoming a warrior; it's accepting your own humanity first. Kyle Carnohan joins me to talk about the greatest awakening happening among men right now, and what it actually looks like to raise kids who can hold frame in a world built to knock them off it. We get into the difference between being calm and being a pushover, why "non-reactive" doesn't mean passive, and how a strong spine and a soft heart aren't opposites, they're the whole point. If you've ever wondered whether your kids are learning more from your failures than your victories, this episode will answer that question whether you're ready for it or not.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Introduction and Reconnecting 01:09 - The State of Modern Podcasting vs. Real Connection 03:22 - The Great Awakening: Transitioning from Promotion to Realness 05:24 - Embracing Failure, Disaster, and Finding Faith 07:23 - The Struggle for Men to Accept Their Humanity 09:22 - Falling in Love with the Process Over the Outcome 10:00 - Finding Peace in Major Life Hardships 11:51 - Teaching Children Resilience Through Witnessing Hardship 14:38 - Spotting Your Blind Spots and Learning to Continually Reconcile 19:40 - The Importance of Finding an Accurate Mirror in Life 21:30 - Navigating Different Personalities Under One Roof 22:38 - Unconditional Love and Radical Non-Reactivity in Parenting 27:11 - Stripping Away the Tough Guy Persona 30:20 - Overcoming the Need to Force and Strong-Arm Your Family 32:18 - Maintaining a Calm Nervous System Amidst Household Chaos 36:36 - Commanding Respect vs. Demanding Compliance 39:38 - The Societal Shift and Misconceptions of Kindness in Men 41:56 - The Balance: Hard Man with a Soft Heart 45:01 - Maintaining Your Frame vs. Being a Pushover 48:45 - The Courage Required for Calm, Loving Pursuits in Conflict 50:51 - Holding the Line Calmly with Children 54:12 - How Raising Righteous Children Saves the Culture 56:05 - Yielding the Glory and Fighting Alongside Men 58:21 - Connecting with Kyle and Closing Thoughts   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Exclusive Devotion | Falling in Love with Jesus | Pastor Caleb Rivera by Riverside Church

Steiny & Guru discuss what really goes into getting good at Golf and "falling in love with the range." What does that mean for Gu, who is feeling itchy?!

What if falling in love with your next level was the thing that changed everything?In this episode, I teach one of the most powerful reframes you will ever come across when it comes to going after your next level because most of us have been taught that reaching our vision is about focusing harder, taking more action, and grinding towards what we want. And while that is part of the picture - it is not the whole picture.When you fall in love with someone, you do not have to remind yourself to think about them. You cannot get them off your mind. And when you bring that same quality of energy, that warmth, that certainty, that natural and easeful orientation, to your next level, your vision, the version of you on the other side everything shifts.Because the next level that is meant for you is the love child of your conscious and subconscious mind working together. And in this episode, I show you exactly what it takes to get both minds in the room, moving in the same direction, towards the same beloved.Topics covered on Why The Law Of Attraction Isn't Working:Why focusing on your vision isn't enough the two projections running simultaneously in your conscious and unconscious mindWhy obsessive focus can be counterproductive and the specific suggestion your unconscious mind is receiving when you forcing your vision"Guess what? You don't trust me" what your unconscious mind is really hearing when you force the focusWhat actually happens when the underlying belief clears and why the next level becomes a walk in the parkHow to fall in love with your next level, your vision, and the version of you on the other sideThe love child of your conscious and unconscious mind - what aligned manifestation actually looks and feels like.Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

He shares how he got started with a handheld camera in 2012, working with legends like Brian Barney and Eastman's, the brutal physical crossover between firefighting and serious backcountry hunting, and his most demanding personal elk pack-out.

Episode 4180 │ July 12, 2026 You know it's a calling when the math doesn't math but the Kingdom math is always positive — and you can't imagine doing anything else. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson and Don Cox — founder of Bald Guy Brew in Boone, North Carolina, missionary, hand-roaster, and one of the most honest small business voices in the BardsFM orbit — sit down for the first time in weeks and find the same thread running through everything: the supply chain squeeze hitting specialty coffee from Ethiopia to Charleston to the Appalachian mountains is not random, the Freedom Gas stations in New Jersey are not generosity, and the corporate rot that produces someone buying moldy warehouse coffee and selling it as a finished product is the same moral collapse that turned the 250th anniversary into an ego showcase instead of a covenant renewal. The conversation moves from the Boston Tea Party as a $1.8 million act of ideological defiance against the East India Company's monopoly, to British FIFA travelers falling in love with southern small towns and reminding Americans what they are walking past every day, to the customer review Don read aloud — your employees look people in the eye and hold real conversations, something most people their age can't do, and you do it because you serve a King. The episode closes on the same John 6 thread running through the week's Vincit episodes — the boy's lunch, Andrew's math, Jesus's math, and what it means to give what you have to the One whose math runs differently than ours. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  What does the global supply chain doing to specialty coffee — Ethiopian beans stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, freight costs doubling, mold being sold as a finished product — reveal about the coordinated squeeze on small independent businesses that Don Cox says is unlike anything he has seen in 21 years? Why does Scott argue that the 250th anniversary was intentionally fragmented — and what does the Declaration of Independence's explicit language granting Americans not just the right but the duty to throw off any government that violates God-given rights have to do with why its full celebration was replaced with MMA fights and presidential speeches? What is the difference between a passion and a calling — and why does Don Cox say the litmus test is simple: can you imagine yourself not doing it, even when you hit the wall, because if you cannot, that is the thing God put you here to do?

In Day 2 of our 7 Days of Dating Confidence, we're talking about the confidence that comes from embracing who you are instead of trying to become someone you're not.In this episode, we're joined by psychotherapist and Deeper Dating author Ken Page, who helps us see that the qualities we often try to hide—our sensitivity, depth, passion, or quirks—may actually be the very things that lead us to meaningful love. We discuss how to identify your core gifts, stop seeing yourself as a project that needs fixing, and trust that the right relationship comes from authenticity, not perfection. If you've ever felt like you need to be "more" or "less" of something to find love, this episode is your reminder that confidence begins when you start appreciating what makes you uniquely lovable.Learn more about Ken Page visit https://www.deeperdating.com/-Take the Dating Archetypes quiz now: https://howtobedateable.com/Read our book: How To Be Dateable: The Essential Guide To Finding Your Person and Falling in Love: https://howtobedateable.com/Try the Dateable AI Dating Coach: Get personalized advice trained on our years of podcast episodes, courses and frameworks: https://studio.com/dateableFollow us @dateablepodcast, @juliekrafchick and @nonplatonic.
