The Bad News: You Are the Infection…The Good News: You Are The Cure! Stop looking at your P&L statement to find the source of your company's struggles—look in the mirror. We often say that our personal lives affect our business, like a gentle breeze. But on this week's episode of A New Direction, I am challenging that soft definition. As a Behavioral Strategist, I'm showing you why your personal problems actually INFECT your business like a virus. Whether it's financial fear, lack of sleep, or hidden insecurity, if the leader is sick, the business is dying. You might just be “Patient Zero.” We are going to dive deep into the science of “Cortisol Contagion” and why your stress is literally infecting your employees’ blood chemistry. Are you the leader who wakes up at 2:00 AM to fire off emails? You might think you're being productive, but you are actually spreading the “Adrenaline Virus” and creating a culture of false urgency that kills performance. If your people aren’t selling, or your turnover is high, it's not the economy—it's an infection, and I'm going to show you how to diagnose it. This isn’t just theory; we are doing the work. I'm going to walk you through the “Sent Folder Autopsy”—a practical homework assignment you can do the moment the show ends to see exactly where you are leaking stress into your team that is creating an infection. We are going to move past the symptoms of “bad sales” and “no time” to treat the root cause: the behavior of the leader. You cannot heal the business until you heal yourself. Join me, Coach Jay Izso, for this solo “Family Meeting” edition of A New Direction.  Bring your notepad and your honesty—we are scrubbing up and performing surgery on the behaviors holding you back, and killing the infection.

The Missing Piece to Your Success As a business leader or founder, you often carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You have the vision, the drive, and the strategy, yet sometimes it feels like you are hitting an invisible ceiling. The truth is, the biggest barrier to your company's growth isn’t usually the market or the economy—it is human behavior. As a Behavioral Strategist, I help you decode the psychological patterns that are silently sabotaging your culture, your execution, and your personal leadership. I don’t just tell you what to change; I help you understand why those behaviors exist so you can finally break through the noise and lead with absolute clarity and confidence. Your potential is limitless, but only if you are willing to look at the human element of your business through a new lens. Stop letting behavioral blind spots dictate your future and start making decisions that align your people with your purpose.

The stationery scramble matters… but not as much as your child’s heart. In this powerful back-to-school episode, Justin and Kylie share the real checklist that sets kids up for confidence, calm, friendships, and resilience—without over-engineering the morning routine or forcing a perfect bedtime. Whether your child is starting school for the first time or changing schools for the fourth time, these strategies make Week 1 smoother and the whole year emotionally healthier. KEY POINTS The basic supplies are not what define success—keep them simple and stress-free. Three non-negotiables before Day 1: emotional check-ins, “who’s got your back” planning, and relationship connection. Why rehearsing the morning routine and enforcing strict early bedtimes are overrated. The 4-Part Real Checklist that changes the entire school year: How Can I Help? — support their goals instead of setting them. Daily Check-In Questions that build resilience, kindness, and social insight. Friendship Audit — understanding who they spend time with and how to support healthy social worlds. Activity Opt-Out Audit — letting kids quit activities that drain them and choose ones that light them up. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “When kids define success on their terms and know we’re in their corner, they’re amazing.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Personal Progress Interviews (PPI) Daily Check-In Questions for connection Friendship Audit steps Family Meeting framework ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Hold a relaxed emotional check-in before school starts (in bed, at the beach, on a walk). Clarify “who’s got your back” at school—teacher, counselor, friend, parent. Ask one Daily Check-In Question at dinner or bedtime. Run a Friendship Audit: learn names, build contact, create unstructured hangouts. Run an Activity Opt-Out Audit: “If we weren’t already doing this, would you choose it today?” Give permission to drop activities that feel like obligations, not joys.

Is storming a church 'protected speech'?

In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista examines the "I" in DEI from a historic Christian perspective. She contrasts the widely agreeable "noble" definitions of inclusion and belonging with their real-world applications in workplaces and Christian institutions, highlighting unintended consequences, ideological conflicts with biblical teaching, and how DEI practices often infiltrate conservative Christian universities through a shifting of definitions. A thoughtful call for Christians to pursue biblical unity, hospitality, and impartial justice rather than secular social engineering.

Join Krista and Kevin for a Christian perspective on the stunning U.S. operation that removed Venezuela's dictator Maduro. Is this action consistent an "America First" approach? We break down the geopolitical stakes—oil deals, China/Russia/Iran ties, and America's backyard strategy. In the second half, we have a clarifying discussion on the core principles of "conservatism" and why we think Trump is basically a 1990s Democrat.

In this episode of the Always On Podcast, Duncan MacPherson speaks with Natasha Kennedy, Pareto-certified coach and family legacy specialist, for a timely conversation on the greatest risk facing financial advisors during the great wealth transfer. Natasha breaks down why most heirs ultimately leave their parents' advisor, how silence and avoidance around legacy planning erode trust, and why preparing heirs has become a critical differentiator in today's advisory landscape. Together, they unpack how advisors can embed continuity, succession, and family investment legacy into their value proposition in a way that deepens relationships, strengthens referability, and positions them as indispensable stewards of multi-generational wealth. Key takeaways: Why nearly 90% of heirs don't stay with their parents' advisor How legacy and succession conversations increase advisor retention and fee worthiness Practical ways to engage heirs without creating entitlement How continuity planning protects relationships through generational transitions Tune into now to unlock the secrets to keeping clients for generations by addressing the blind spot most advisors overlook.

In this end-of-2025 live stream, Krista and Kevin tackle the explosive question dividing conservatives: Israel or Islam—which is the real threat to America and Christianity? They expose the rising "woke right" influence of Tucker Carlson (who calls concerns over radical Islam an "Israeli psyop" and blames Jewish influence for cultural decay), Candace Owens (downplaying radical Islam while obsessing over "Zionism"), and Nick Fuentes (openly arguing Jews/Israel are more powerful and dangerous than Islam). They warn against antisemitic tropes and grievance-based race hustling. Toward the end, we briefly ask, Why are Christian universities like Biola adopting Marxist-inspired DEI language? This is a timely, biblically-grounded conversation as fractures deepen in the post-Trump era. Kevin's new article: "The Deception of 'America First'" https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/post/the-deception-of-america-first #Israel #Islam #WokeRight #TuckerCarlson #NickFuentes #CandaceOwens #BiblicalUnity #AmericaFirst #ChristianConservatism #RadicalIslam #Antisemitism

In this week's edition of the Family Meeting, Monique came on for a few minutes at the beginning of the stream to provide an important life update. Then Krista and Kevin addressed a comment from last week's show about the "America First" movement, led by Nick Fuentes. That led into a discussion about the fracturing happening in conservative circles and broke out this weekend at AmFest hosted by TPUSA.

A Biola University art professor (15+ years on faculty) openly engages in performance art that explores 19th-century occult spiritualism, inviting participants to interact with esoteric symbology, ritual magic, confetti divination and pendulums—complete with a $85 divination toolkit promising "personal guidance and enlightenment." Monique breaks it all down from the artist's public website, podcast appearance, and installations. This information isn't hidden; it's leadership-approved under Biola's President, Barry Corey.

In this fast paced conversation, Ken and Alex discuss the role of annual family meetings as an important part of a family's Legacy work. In this approach to doing Family Legacy, the Family Meeting represents a great opportunity for the advisor to work more closely with family members that they may have never connected with before. Not just the "Next Generation" clients, the annual Family Meeting gives the advisor a chance to work more closely with the spouse who may be highly interested in creating a meaningful family experience. One of the key ideas that emerged from the conversation was the role of an annual Family Meeting in helping families "develop the muscles" they will need to have in place when difficult decisions need to be made. By starting with a simple and fun Family Meeting experience and committing to a meeting every year the family benefits from learning how to work together, grapple with important decisions and experiencing the value of their financial advisor as an important, multi-generational resource.

NYC crowned a self-declared socialist mayor who wants government to be your god, your therapist, and your landlord. We play the 7-second clip where Zohran Mamdani promises “no problem too big for government to solve,” watch Tucker Carlson lob marshmallows at basement führer Nick Fuentes, and talk about the fallout at the Heritage Foundation. This unscripted family meeting is your wake-up call about the split happening now among Conservatives.

Krista and Monique expose the dark side of SNAP and welfare dependency, triggered by viral videos of massive EBT-funded grocery hauls that scream entitlement. The reality is, there are 41.7 million people—one in eight residents of America—on SNAP. This is immoral and soul-damaging. Long-term government handouts can create lifelong reliance, infantilize adults, and embody socialism where the state that feeds you can just as easily starve you. We also discuss the reality that biblical justice demands charity starting at home and in the church—not endless checks—while urging relief to lead to development through discipleship, work, and self-sufficiency. Bonus: Monique roasts black pastors praying over Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani and we briefly discuss the rise of the Red-Green alliance.

Krista is done with religious neutrality. In this raw Family Meeting (solo while Monique's flying home from TPUSA), she exposes Islam's 3-stage jihad plan to colonize America—and share EXACTLY what Christians must do NOW to save our Christian nation. This is your wake-up call.

Welcome to Day 2709 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2709 – A Clean Life - Strong Warnings About the World 1 John 2_12-17 Putnam Church Message – 08/31/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Clean Life – Strong Warnings About the World.”   Last week, we explored 1 John 2:1-11 as we learned the seven rules on how to live a ‘Clean Life' with “Wise Words from a Family Meeting.” This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will cover 1 John 2:12-17 as we explore how to live a ‘Clean Life' with “Strong Warnings About the World.” Let's read 1 John 2:12-17 from the NIV, which is found on page 1900 of your Pew Bibles.  12 12 I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. 14 I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. On Not Loving the World 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. Opening Prayer When danger draws near, a warning is in order. And the greater the danger, the more vital the warning. Let me share a story from a long-time pastor and President of Dallas Theological Seminary, Chuck Swindoll. I will share it in the first person as he did. /When I think of warnings, my mind goes back over sixty years to when I found myself standing on the deck of a massive troopship, seeing the city of Yokohama, Japan, in the distance, just across the Tokyo Bay. Our ship was slowly snaking its way through the bay because there were still some naval mines lurking beneath those waters—leftovers from World War II. As the pilot was guiding us carefully, a full colonel called some thirty-five hundred Marines to an assembly. He called us together to give us a warning. Great danger drew near. Not the physical danger of the naval mines. Those could be easily navigated. He had other dangers in mind … dangers lurking not in Tokyo Bay but in the streets of Yokohama, where thousands of pent-up Marines were about to be unleashed. “All of you, listen up,” he said. “For many of you, you will be the foreigner for the first time in your lives. You're going to be walking in an area you've never walked before. You'll be among people who speak a language you've never spoken before. You'll be...

We dive into Biola University's policies on sexuality and gender, raising critical questions for all Christian parents, alumni, and donors. As Biola grads, we unpack concerning wording in student life policies, from vague language on gender and sexuality to questionable approaches to transgender issues.

Join us for this hodge-podge of a "Family Meeting," where we dive into gratitude, faith, and navigating the week's social media themes. We discuss our candid questions about the state of the American education system and explore the meaning of Christian unity and what makes it unique. We share some thoughts about why trust in institutions is faltering, why conspiracy theories are so popular, and how biblical principles offer hope and clarity.

Tired of family meetings that end with eye rolls, groans, and everyone feeling worse than when you started? You're not alone.

Welcome to Day 2699 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2699 – “A Clean Life – Wise Words From a Family Meeting.” - 1 John 2:1-11 Putnam Church Message – 08/17/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Clean Life – Wise Words From a Family Meeting.”   Last week, we explored 1 John 1:5-10 with the focus of “God's Light and Our Blight.” This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will cover 1 John 2:1-11 as we explore how to live a ‘Clean Life' with “Wise Words from a Family Meeting.” Let's read 1 John 2:1-11 from the NIV, which is found on page 1899 of your Pew Bibles. 1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers 3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word,/love for God[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. 9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[b] is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister[c] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. Opening Prayer Books of the Bible are a little like museums. Some are large, focused on several themes treated in a logical, linear manner. Others are small, narrowing in on one particular topic. The book of 1 John is a moderately long letter and follows a meandering path around several themes that are on...

Hey Family Brand! It's Melissa here, and if you've ever tried to hold a family meeting that ended in chaos, eye-rolls, or zero follow-through… this episode is for you. We're diving into a topic that might sound boring but can truly transform your family culture: family meetings. Trust me, I get it—most of us didn't grow up doing these, and if we did, we may not have the best memories of them. But what if family meetings didn't suck? What if they were actually helpful, hopeful, and maybe even a little fun? This idea hit me recently while working with a coaching client who was really passionate about optimizing his family meetings. That conversation reminded me that even if we've covered this before, it's something worth revisiting—and often. When life feels a little out of sync or chaotic, a family meeting rhythm can be the very thing that brings us back to center. In this episode, Chris and I talk about how meetings are often a reflection of how well (or how poorly) things are running in any group—your family included. We share how being intentional with simple, consistent family meetings has helped us stay connected and work as a team. You'll also hear why “too many meetings” or “not enough meetings” can both be problems—and how to strike the balance. We get real about the resistance you might face—yes, especially from your kids—and how you can gently but firmly lead with vision. I also share our free Family Meeting Guide, which includes videos and a printable PDF to walk you through everything step-by-step. You can grab it at familybrand.com/meeting. And don't worry—we're not saying you need to overhaul your entire schedule overnight. Start small. Even a quick weekly check-in over dinner (with snacks, of course!) can work wonders. At the end of the day, we want to help you build a home where your family communicates, feels seen, and works toward shared goals. Family meetings might not be flashy, but they're powerful. Let's make them work.
