In this episode of the Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good interviews Amy Herman, a lawyer turned art historian, who discusses the concept of visual intelligence and its importance in leadership and problem-solving. Herman explains how art can enhance observation skills and communication, leading to better decision-making. She introduces her framework, the Art of Perception, which consists of four stages: assess, analyze, articulate, and adapt. The conversation also delves into overcoming biases, the significance of active observation, and practical steps to improve one's observational skills.TakeawaysVisual intelligence is the ability to see what others don't.Art provides a safe space for sharpening observation skills.Effective communication is essential for visual intelligence.No two people perceive things the same way.Familiarity can lead to overlooking important details.Active observation can reveal hidden opportunities.Shifting default thinking is crucial for problem-solving.Asking the right questions can clarify ambiguity.Multiple perspectives enhance decision-making.Regular feedback is vital for self-awareness.Unlocking Visual Intelligence for LeadersThe Art of Observation in LeadershipChapters00:00 The Art of Perception: Introduction to Visual Intelligence07:26 Understanding Visual Intelligence and Its Importance13:29 The Role of Art in Enhancing Observation Skills20:53 Overcoming Biases and Enhancing Decision-Making26:40 Strategies for Effective Observation and Communication32:59 Navigating Ambiguity: Questions for Clarity

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike returns to the foundational — but rarely mastered — concept of Healthy Selfishness. He shares how giving without receiving leads to depletion, why most people are unconsciously afraid to receive, and how deserving, expecting, and receiving are actually nervous system conditions — not mindset problems. This episode is a permission slip to stop playing martyr, start playing big, and rewire your body for reciprocity, worthiness, and overflow.Key TakeawaysYou Are Not the Meat Suit — You Are the Awareness Navigating It Understanding this distinction is the beginning of every transformation.The Nervous System Is Wired for Familiarity, Not Fulfillment If you're conditioned to overgive, you'll feel unsafe receiving until your body is reconditioned.Selfishness Is Just a Triggered Word — Not a Truth What we call “selfish” is often just healthy boundaries and energetic reciprocity.Deservedness, Expectation, and Receptivity Are Somatic You can't out-think these — you have to feel and rewire them in the body.You Were Built to Give — Now It's Time to Learn to Receive Until you receive, your giving will always have a ceiling… and an expiration.Notable Quotes“The greatest lie ever perpetuated in human history is that it's better to give than receive.”“For almost my whole life, I was living as if these beliefs were true.”“Your nervous system has one task and one task only — and that's to keep you alive.”“The limitation of our expectation is what we do feel that we do deserve.”“I deserve what I want. I expect what I want. I receive what I want — because I'm worth what I want.”Call to Action

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Chad Sylvester to break down what it takes to level up. We dig into his recent trip to Idaho—a hunt that didn't exactly go as planned but came loaded with lessons that stick. We talk about when to double down on what you do best and when to push past your comfort zone to grow as a hunter. From understanding terrain-specific deer behavior to balancing specialization with adaptability, this one's all about the mental side of the game—how you think, adjust, and evolve season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 464 Mastering your whitetail hunt requires a diverse toolkit and adaptable mindset. Specialization builds confidence but can narrow your perspective. Chad's Idaho hunt delivered hard-earned lessons and real-world insights. Micro-terrain and historical data hold the keys to consistent deer encounters. Familiarity bias can stall growth—explore new ground and learn from it. Listening to what the hunt tells you is often more valuable than any plan.

Switching sleep spaces can be stressful for both parents and babies. Whether you are moving your little from their bassinet to their crib, crib to big kid bed, bedsharing to floor bed, it can be a big transition. In this episode I'm sharing ways to make the transition easier for everyone. I talk you through building familiarity with the new sleep space, helping them feel safe and connected to you in that sleep space, and tips for supporting them through the transition. Some strategies work at all ages, and other ones I break down by age. Connect with Kim Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdcLearn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/

Tracey Testo-Smith returns to Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley to share her knowledge and experience about foraging. In this episode, Tim and Jean sit down with Tracey Testo-Smith, Agroforestry and Natural Resources Program Manager at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Columbia and Greene Counties, to discuss the practice of foraging. This interview was originally recorded as part of the Digging In With Master Gardeners radio show on WGXC 90.7FM and now repurposed for a podcast format. Tracey reviews some of the misconceptions about what foraging actually is. Foraging doesn't need a vast array of information about everything in the forest. The main thing to know is whether a plant is useful, either for food or medicinal purposes. Tracey leads foraging walks in the spring at the Hudson CCE campus and in the fall at the Acra campus. Her classes before the walks teach folks how to identify individual plants before they even step into the woods. She often brings in co-presenters to expand their access to expertise. The public can enroll online and sign up for quarterly newsletters at http://ccecolumbiagreene.org. There are always common sense caveats: know the history of the site you're collecting from... for example, a former farm may have residual pesticide contamination. don't forage along a roadside where contamination happens daily from passing cars. Another factor to be aware of is the name of the plant. Often a common name will be misleading. Hemlock, for instance, can be a benign evergreen tree or a poisonous weed. Knowing the botanical name avoids any such confusion and danger. To start as a forager on your own, Tracey suggests that you really get to know a plant, even for as long as a year. Familiarity with the plant's different stages lets you know the most useful times to “harvest”, She cites the dandelion as an example, whose different parts are useful in different seasons. Then leaves can be harvested first in early spring, then the flower buds, then petals, and finally the roots. Their values range from food to dying tints to medicinal, all varying according to part and season.Some plants, like pokeberry and elderberry, have certain parts that are edible while the rest of the plant is poisonous. Tracey finds salad greens in chickweed and blue violets, and bittercress. While these can be eaten raw, always stay aware of the possibility of pollutants when using plants near water. Ramps are famously a popular dish in restaurants, in season. These are wild leeks, and very specific as to their growing conditions. They are very slow growers, taking up to a decade to reach maturity. Tracey advises that you be exceptionally thoughtful if collecting in the wild. The leaves and bulbs are both edible. Don't try to take them home to grow because they will not survive the removal. There are now growers who can sell you bulbs to start at home without disrupting fragile populations. Teas are another way to use foraged plants. Most mints are amenable to teas, as are clovers and yarrow. These are all amenable to drying as well, so can be stockpiled for winter use. Plants are not the only target of foragers. Tracey covers the practice of mushroom hunting. Different seasons produce wild crops of different varieties of mushrooms. Early spring is for Morels, midsummer for Chanterelles, and autumn for Chicken (or hen) of the woods. Tracey reviews what the warning signs are of poison mushrooms, and reviews the possibility of growing your own, with CCE classes available. Every mushroom, by the way, is safe to handle, even if toxic.Going deeper into the subject of what's poisonous, the environment can alter the nature of a plant. Stinging nettle can absorb heavy metals from a polluted site. Know your location's history if possible. There are plants that are a contact risk, like poison ivy or water hemlock. It's wise to know the plants that grow around your foraging target plants.  Tracey advises to harvest moderately, so as to insure the future of the plant. The exception to this practice is invasives. If a plant is invasive... eat it all. The example she uses is Japanese knotweed. Sprouts taste like asparagus blended with rhubarb, it's full of antioxidants.

In our last article, we talked about Debunking the Physical vs. Non-Physical Myth. The entire discussion ended up on our podcast, Driving To The Rez, and even turned into music.The episode was then followed by another one where the panelists talked about what “wind” meant in “bananas and wind”... for about two hours.We tried sharing some interesting facts about reality creation and the physical universe, but we don't think it quite landed.It appeared that “wind,” meaning “toots,” was more interesting.The panelists were sure their brains did not turn to “mush” when we spoke, but we find it hard to believe that five highly intelligent beings would talk about toots or wind for two hours when the reality of the universe was a possible discussion - unless their brains were well and truly mushed.And yes, we have been asked what “mush” is. Mush is a technical term meaning that your brain melts into a mass of jumbled thoughts in which even toots seem interesting.One of the pieces of guidance we had coming in was to not leave a mark on the physical universe. This is hard to do for most people, as not only do they leave marks - or want to - but they are, in fact, co-creating the physical universe on a continuous basis, milli-moment by milli-moment.We often find ourselves in situations that are different from what we have experienced in the past, and we look around for familiarity. Familiarity often provides data we can use to figure out what is happening. For example, if we see an image that has a head, four legs, a tail, and two pointy-up ears, we already know the image is that of some sort of four-legged animal. Once I add the next descriptor, your mind will go to only one animal: “in the image, the tail is moving quickly from side to side, wagging.”This descriptor builds an image from things you are familiar with in your mind's memory banks.In the same way, we walk through life experiencing “images” from the different senses and looking for points of familiarity to figure out what is happening.In our case, not much is familiar to us, and we have to tap into the human collective - or another person's mind - to find the common factor that will give an indication of what is happening at that precise point in time. You see this often in young kids, when something is happening that they are not familiar with they will look at the adults around to “learn” how to respond or react to it.But even then, after figuring out what is happening, in our case we end up with our eyes and mouth open in awe.Not leaving a mark on the human co-creation of physical reality is done by walking inside other people's creations. Their creations can be amplified with our presence, but not necessarily so. We can try to influence those co-creations to go our way - to make things happen that make our existence here more pleasant - but it is a bit of a waste of time. People's co-creations are like a very fast train on smooth and clear tracks. Fast and unwavering.For example: lack of money. There is no lack of money. However, in many co-creators this is a real thing, and money is hard to come by. Why they have chosen a life where money is hard to come by is a mystery, but there is not much we can do about it.It is fascinating to watch, however - although sometimes uncomfortable to “allow.” The drive to “leave a mark” on that or similar situations is big. But even if we try, it often falls on deaf ears or is quickly forgotten.One of the things we have figured out, however, is that if we “ask” the human collective if it is OK to influence or inform the population about something, and they say “yes,” we can go ahead and do it. Most of the time, if the item is big, there is a pushback in physicality to stop us from sharing - and then wind and bananas come flying in. We smile, shrug our shoulders, and move on.Did you know the desert in Colorado is covered in anthills? They make them out of grains of sand. Even the smallest beings build their world… grain by grain.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

It is an audacious thought, but God invites us to be His friend. Typically, friendship involves FAMILIARITY and FONDNESS. I'd argue that God has already proven that He knows you well, and that He's so crazy about you that He exchanged something of great value for your rescue.The weak link in the friendship relationship is probably us.  We might lack a bit in the FAMILIARITY of God by being sloppy in our study or pursuit of Him.  We might be cool in our FONDNESS. Join me for 7 minutes to pursue the friendship of God, which is also to day, BE PURSUED by the friendship of God. https://youtu.be/goOc90kavt8

Dusty from Toronto Canada shared with us this past Sunday on the dangers of familiarity!

It's the return of Erica! Sen got to goof off most of the summer without her, but now she's back and she has a great topic to start off Q3-Q4 of 2025 - Familiarity. Erica and Sen discuss how designers and publishers may want to think about familiarity when producing games. While the saying usually goes something like "familiarity breeds contempt," Erica and Sen argue that a little familiarity goes a long way to increase a game's approachability. *Audio note* Sen's mic was acting up during recording; please excuse the subtle phasing you may hear.

Every day, you walk past opportunities for a better life—a game-changing business connection, a piece of life-altering wisdom, or a deep friendship. You don't see them because they are hidden inside other people, and you've already decided who they are.   In a profound episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, the hosts reveal how we unknowingly kill our own opportunities through a single, destructive habit: labeling. The moment you place a label on someone, you stop being curious. And the moment curiosity dies, so does your opportunity for growth. Key Highlights from the Discussion The Labeling Trap: The core idea is simple but transformative: "The labels that we place on other people fracture opportunity." When you judge someone based on their appearance, job, or your past experiences with them, you slam the door on what they could teach you or how they could change your life. The Need to Be Right Destroys Curiosity: This is the ultimate communication killer. If you enter a conversation with the goal of being right, you have already lost. You cannot be curious and defensive at the same time. Prioritize understanding over winning, and you will unlock a new level of connection. Curiosity Turns Enemies into Friends: The hosts shared a powerful story about Abraham Lincoln, who argued that the best way to destroy an enemy is to make them your friend. How? Through curiosity. Asking questions to understand another's perspective is the fastest way to dissolve conflict and find common ground. People Crave to Be Seen: The deepest human need is to be seen, heard, and valued. When you approach someone with genuine curiosity, you give them that gift. In return, they lower their walls, and a real connection becomes possible. Stop Seeing a Past Version of People: "Familiarity breeds contempt." Are you still seeing your partner, your child, or your old friend as the person they were five years ago? Be curious about who they are becoming. This is where new layers of your most important relationships are waiting to be discovered. The Takeaway Your greatest opportunities are hidden in the people you meet every day. The key to unlocking them is to replace judgment with curiosity. In your next conversation, resist the urge to label, to be right, or to wait for your turn to speak. Instead, ask a genuine question, listen with the intent to understand, and watch as a new world of possibilities opens up right in front of you  

Join my upcoming Mindset Breakthrough Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/mindset-breakthrough-sign-up Take the saboteurs assessment by visiting this link: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/   In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I challenge the whole idea of the “comfort zone” because goodness gracious, most of the time it's not really comfortable, it's just familiar. If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, or like something is calling you forward but your brain hits the brakes, you're not alone. You may actually be human! We'll talk about why your inner critic (and your wiring) might label growth as danger, and how to reframe that fear as wisdom. I share personal stories, client examples, and actionable tips to help you move from self-doubt to aligned decision-making—one small, courageous step at a time. This episode is especially for the women in business (or dreaming of starting one) who are ready to expand consciously, not chaotically.

The Fathers in the Evergetinos remind us that the measure of our discipleship is often revealed in how we respond to insult and injury. The world teaches us to defend ourselves, to demand justice, to take vengeance so as not to appear weak. But the Gospel calls us to something altogether different, something that cuts against every instinct of pride: to bear wrongs patiently, to forgive from the heart, and to entrust judgment to God. Abba Cassian tells us that meekness is not merely restraining the tongue, but cleansing the heart itself from the remembrance of wrongs. Outward silence while inwardly replaying offenses is no victory. Unless the root of anger is excised, hatred and envy grow unseen. I know this in myself — how quickly I replay words spoken against me, how easily I justify my resentment. Yet God sees these thoughts, hidden to others, as clearly as if they were deeds. The elders of the desert show us another way. Abba Sisoes shocks a brother out of his thirst for revenge by praying that, since the man insists on avenging himself, God need no longer care for him. Abba Silouan alters the Lord's Prayer to expose the truth of the brother's heart: “forgive us not our debts, as we forgive not our debtors.” Their teaching is sharp, but it leaves no room for illusion. If I ask God for mercy, I must extend mercy to my brother, or else my prayer condemns me. The Fathers press us to look at Christ Himself. He endured insult without anger, was silent under reviling, forgave those who crucified Him, and laid down His life for those who sinned against Him. When I see how easily I take offense, how quickly I lash out or withdraw, I realize how little I resemble Him. And yet the call is clear: to follow Christ is to walk His path of forbearance, not simply to admire it from a distance. This is where the path of the Fathers collides with the way of the world. To the secular mind, insult must be answered, wrong must be repaid, and forgiveness is weakness. But in Christ's kingdom, insult becomes an opportunity to share in His meekness, wrongs become the occasion to enter His patience, and forgiveness becomes our share in His Cross. And so I am left with a choice, not abstract but daily, often in small things: Will I bear insult with humility, or will I cling to pride? Will I entrust myself to God's justice, or will I grasp for my own? The Fathers tell me plainly: if I cannot endure the smallest slights, how will I endure greater trials? If I cannot forgive the neighbor who wounds me in words, how can I hope to be known by Christ, who forgave even His executioners? The divine ethos is stark. To love those who hate me. To pray for those who grieve me. To forbear without resentment. To entrust vengeance to God. This is not optional; it is the very mark of one who has died and risen with Christ. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:12:59 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 281 B 00:14:30 Forrest Cavalier: https://biblehub.com/greek/3954.htm  Translated as Familiarity in Hypothesis 34 book 2, p266 00:19:11 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 281 B 00:40:05 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 283 A 00:50:41 Andrew Zakhari: It is amazing how what we would say to each other changes dramatically when we consider directing those same words to God. Prayer exposes our sin and converts us. 01:04:55 Kate : Would the Fathers take a pacifist position?  And would they not accept the Catholic just-war theory? 01:06:37 Catherine Opie: I am always amazed at how apt these readings are. I always get exactly what I need for whatever the inner struggle or circumstance is that is current for me or around me generally as a societal or news event. I have been attacked physically and, to my surprise, my instinct was to fight back like a wild animal. How do we learn to obstruct that survival instinct we have? 01:15:00 Maureen Cunningham: Thank you Blessing 01:15:19 Andrew Adams: Thanks be to God!

In Luke 4, Jesus returns home — and the welcome isn't what you might expect. This episode explores the tension between comfort and calling, and what it means to live faithfully in community. #RoundHillRadio #ProgressiveChurch #Luke4 #BelovedCommunity #GreenFaith

In the final message of our series called One Another, Pastor Mel explains the importance of honoring one another. Honor is rooted in biblical love and therefore bears consequences for the condition of our hearts. Practicing dishonor corrupts a person's heart and limits his relationship with God. Familiarity breeds contempt and too much familiarity can lead to a lack of reverence for God. Scripture instructs us to honor our parents, our pastors, and even people we dislike. A Christian is able to honor others with right actions, words, appropriate times of silence, and sacrificial love from an authentic heart. God wants us to honor our enemies, but doing so is only possible when Jesus changes us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Send us a textHave you fallen into the trap of taking your partner for granted? When comfort turns to complacency, even the strongest PMDD relationships can crumble.Relationships where one partner has Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder come with unique challenges that require extraordinary patience and understanding. Yet over time, we often become dangerously familiar with each other's efforts. That morning text that once made your day becomes expected. The way your partner adapts to your changing needs throughout your cycle seems ordinary rather than remarkable. The boundaries you established early on get casually violated because "what's the big deal just this once?"This familiarity creates a slippery slope. Communication deteriorates first—partners stop checking in consistently or assume silence means everything's fine. Boundaries erode when comfort replaces mindfulness. Perhaps most damaging is how disrespectful communication gradually becomes normalized: "This is just how we talk to each other when we're upset." Each small instance of taking your partner for granted accumulates into significant resentment.For relationships affected by PMDD, this pattern is particularly destructive. The cyclical nature of symptoms means unresolved issues compound month after month until even the most committed partnerships break under the strain. Worse still, when children witness these dynamics, they internalize them as normal relationship models for their future.Breaking this cycle requires intention. Regular emotional check-ins, consistent appreciation for your partner's specific qualities, respecting established boundaries, and developing tools for healthy conflict resolution all help maintain the connection that brought you together initially. Remember—being in a PMDD relationship requires work, but the deep love and care that individuals with PMDD typically bring makes that effort worthwhile.Don't wait until your partner walks away to recognize their value. What will you appreciate about them today?

After more than a decade of coaching women through marriage struggles, I've learned that desire in long-term relationships is widely misunderstood.We think it's a magical feeling that appears when we're with the “right” person, that it should always be spontaneous, and that focusing on our own pleasure is selfish.The truth is, desire takes effort, intention, and a willingness to be an active participant in creating it.Familiarity, daily responsibilities, and unresolved hurts can all drain desire.But we can bring it back by making space for spontaneity and adventure, planning intimacy so we can be present for it, and giving ourselves permission to care about our own pleasure.Desire doesn't just happen—it's something we can nurture if we choose.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

The Danger of Familiarity 2 Samuel 6:1-8

Familiarity is good. It helps us to feel comfortable and safe and in some ways may strengthen our confidence and self-esteem when the things we see, understand and influence become patterns that we know inside and out. In this episode, we're taking a look at familiarity's opposition - unfamiliarity. We're talking about it in a Human Systems Dynamics kind of way, and I hope it helps you to feel better when you're floating in unfamiliar territory.

Some topics from today's episode include:⭐️Repetition is the mother of skill and success.⭐️Familiarity doesn't equate to effectiveness; change requires courage.⭐️Embrace the scientific method: treat your journey as an experiment.⭐️Surround yourself with like-minded individuals for support and motivation.⭐️Consistency and integrity are key to long-term success.Download the FREE POWER BUNDLE.

The Lord Is My Shepherd: Life Is Better This WayText: Psalm 23Main Idea: When Christ is truly your Shepherd, you lack nothing—and life takes on a new peace, purpose, and power.IntroductionThe “Danger” of FamiliaritySteve Farrar calls Psalm 23 one of the most dangerous Psalms because we've grown too familiar with it.Familiarity can dull the meaning and power of God's Word.Fresh Eyes: Today we'll revisit this passage and let it cut through the routine, so it can transform our lives.I. When Christ Is Our Shepherd, Our Desires Shift (Psalm 23:1)Bold Declaration: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”Not just words—this is a life posture.Shift in Desires: No need for worldly success, constant validation, or anxious striving.Reality Check: Many claim Jesus is their foundation but live in panic when trials hit.Sheep Analogy: Sheep are defenseless, prone to filth, and often foolish—completely dependent on their shepherd.Illustration: Sheep in a ditch rescued, then immediately jumping back in—just like us sometimes.Application: Depend fully on the Shepherd; repent quickly when you fail. (James 3:8–10)II. The Danger of Misplaced Expectations (Psalm 23:2–3)In Marriage: Many love transactionally, expecting a “return” for service.When expectations aren't met, frustration leads to anger, bitterness, and destruction.Biblical Order: When Christ is center—peace follows.He leads, restores, guides.III. God Is Not Just Good in Theory—He's Good in Practice (Psalm 23:4)Living Like He's Good:Marriage becomes discipleship, not just maintenance.Parenting becomes shepherding hearts, not just correcting behavior.Church becomes joy, not duty.In Valleys: Life's darkest moments don't bring fear because the Shepherd is near.IV. The Shepherd's Presence Is Our Power (Psalm 23:4–5)Our Limits: We aren't strong, wise, or patient enough—but He is.Order of the Shepherd's Care:He leads, protects, disciplines, prepares, pursues.Discipline as Love: Like a shepherd breaking a wandering sheep's leg to save it.Christ's discipline means you belong to Him (Hebrews 12:6).Knowing His Voice (John 10:24–29): Sheep know the shepherd because they're constantly with Him.V. Final Challenge: Recenter Your Life on Jesus (Psalm 23:6)Root Problems: Marriages, joy, and peace often fail because Jesus is not at the center.Life-Altering Reality: “I shall not want” is not a coffee mug slogan—it's a way of life.Stop placing on others what only Christ can fulfill.Let Christ be your Shepherd—in home, marriage, business, and daily life.Conclusion & InvitationIf Jesus is your Shepherd:Follow Him.Trust Him.Build your life on Him alone.Promise: “I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever” is for today—not just eternity.Life is better this way.Prayer.

Your MessagesEmotional Episodelet's just say mercury was retrograding this morning for me. As you guys know my relationship ended in April this year. And it was my only real relationship that taught me so much.  I've been slowly grieving the person I was with them & what we are now. It's hard to go from being together to being strangers. People will tell you it's hard, but the magnitude is a lot harder. I was just thinking about how much I've been through the last 7 years. How much has changed? I'm navigating heartbreak while also missing what we were. Be Well, Sirona ✨Support the show

The desert fathers were incredibly sensitive to the simple things in life that we often take for granted; the ways that we speak with others and treat them. In this sense, they were psychologically astute; realizing that in the warp and woof of day-to-day life, it is often the small things that affect relationships the most and so also a place where we are provoked to sin. We often describe these aspects of our life as normal or natural; that is, being human. Yet, even that which is good must be perfected by the grace of God for it can be corrupted if the heart is impure or lacking in charity. Thus, without hesitation, the fathers can say “there is no passion, more terrible than familiarity, for it gives rise to all the other passions.“ At first this might seem to be hyperbole. Familiarity seems to be an essential part of relationships and intimacy. What the fathers discovered, however, is that it can break down the reverence, dignity and meekness with which we engage others. The more that we are around a person we begin to think that we can take liberties and dispense with courteousness and tenderness in speech. We can use our intimate knowledge of others to tear them down or to gain a position of emotional power within the relationship. What has been entrusted to us as precious can be used in ways that inflict emotional wounds. Similarly laughter is seen as a natural part and perhaps one of the best parts of our lives. Humor often is the means through which we are able to cope with a harshness of life. It seems to lighten the spirit. However, it can often devolve into buffoonery; nothing is taken serious at all, and humor is used to mock the others. Such laughter then makes us lose sight of the dignity of the other and more importantly makes us lose sight of their dignity as sons and daughters of God. We feel that we are liberty to make fun of them or to laugh at their misfortune.  Our consideration of these things shows us how important it is for us to have the mind of Christ. We are to live in Him and it is His grace that must shape all of our actions. There is only one appropriate way for us to relate to another person and that is to love them! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:56 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 266 00:06:34 Fr.

How many times do you actually attempt to reach out to a prospect before you give up? On the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jessica Stokes calls out a common sales reality when prospecting: “We all know the average salesperson typically stops after three, maybe four attempts before moving on. We assume they're not interested. We want to find a juicier lead.” This common behavior defines The 3-Call Fallacy—the flawed belief that if someone doesn't respond after a few tries, they're not interested. It's where you probably tap out and tell yourself you've done enough. You haven't. Persistence is key.  Why Salespeople Quit Prospecting Too Early The premature retreat from prospecting isn't about laziness; it's rooted in fundamental misconceptions and fear. The Fear of Being Annoying The most common excuse? “I don't want to be a pest.”  You leave a voicemail, send an email, maybe try LinkedIn, and then you back off. You tell yourself you're giving them space. But your prospect doesn't remember you. When you're looking at your CRM thinking, "This is my sixth attempt—I'm going to tick this guy off," your prospect likely has no idea who you are. To them, today's call feels like the first time you've reached out. The Momentum Killer Spacing out your touchpoints destroys any traction you might have built. Waiting a week—or worse, a month—between messages forces you to restart every time. That familiar name? Forgotten. That compelling message? Gone. Momentum is built with consistency. Familiarity breeds trust, but only if you stay in front of them long enough to become familiar. The 4 Steps of Building a Fanatical Prospecting Sequence The fix? Being fanatical about sequencing.  It's about consistent, well-timed, multi-channel outreach that keeps your message fresh and front of mind. Stay Consistent: Don't let more than a few days pass between touchpoints. Regular rhythm creates recall. Think of it like a steady drumbeat—not a one-time boom. Use Multiple Channels: Your prospect may ignore emails but answer LinkedIn. Or they may screen unknown numbers but reply to a personalized video. Use all the tools available: Phone calls Emails LinkedIn messages Video messages Direct mail (for high-value prospects) Track Your True Attempt Rate: Most reps overestimate their persistence. Implement a rigorous tracking system, whether in your CRM or a simple spreadsheet, to log every single touchpoint. Reframe Your Mindset: You're not bothering people—you're offering help. If you believe in your product and know it can solve their problems, persistent outreach is a service, not a nuisance. The Prospecting Challenge Ready to put this into action? Take 20-50 leads and run a sequence over the next 30-45 days. Make contact attempts every few days using multiple channels. Track your progress. You'll likely discover: Responses after 8, 10, even 12 attempts. Prospects saying things like "I'm glad you reached out again" or "I was thinking about calling you back." Booked appointments you never would have gotten with the traditional 3-call approach. 3 Common Personal Objections (And Why They're Wrong) This is where self-sabotage shows up. Let's break down the common excuses: "I don't want to be annoying." Your prospect deleted your voicemail in 10 seconds. They're not sitting there with a map of all your attempts, getting angrier with each one. "If they were interested, they would have called back." People are busy. Interest doesn't always translate to immediate action.  "I need to focus on warmer leads." Every lead starts cold. The difference between a cold lead and a warm lead is often just consistent, value-driven follow-up. You make them warm. The Discipline Factor: Every Attempt Counts Just like you can't run a 10K after one day of training, you can't expect immediate results from prospecting. It's a cumulative effort that builds momentum over time.

We discuss why it's valuable to identify your "exceptional advantages" in both work and personal life—those unique blessings or abilities you might take for granted but actually set you apart.
