367: Activate Good - Leading with Fearlessness and Purpose (Marjorie Maas)Episode SummaryNonprofit leaders carry the weight of the next grant, the next major gift, the next board meeting - and that constant worry doesn't make the work more productive, it just makes it heavier. In Episode #367, Patton talks with Marjorie Maas, CEO of Share Good, based in Omaha, NE, about what it actually looks like to lead with fearlessness when stakes are high and resources are tight. Marjorie leads a national technology and community-building nonprofit that helps cities position generosity in one place - now active in nine markets from Charlotte to Detroit to Omaha and beyond - and she shares the mindset shifts that have shaped both her organization's growth and her own “patchwork quilt” career path. She unpacks the difference between scarcity thinking and an abundance mindset rooted in logical thinking rather than blind faith, why emerging leaders shouldn't talk themselves out of their passion, and why governance fluency is something professionals should be building early — not waiting for an executive seat to learn. Listeners will walk away with a practical framework for leading through uncertainty, language for coaching the next generation of nonprofit professionals, and a clearer sense of how to keep moving forward when fear shows up.About MarjorieMarjorie Maas is the CEO of Share Good, a national technology and community-building nonprofit that connects passion to action in hyperlocal communities by giving nonprofits a shared megaphone to tell donors and volunteers what they need. She leads the growth and expansion of Share Good's national footprint and supports the SHARE Family of community partners across the country. Before joining Share Good in December 2022, Marjorie launched and directed SHARE Omaha, building a platform that promotes more than 700 nonprofits across the Greater Omaha and Council Bluffs metro, and earlier created and implemented the corporate social responsibility strategy for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska, redesigning their corporate giving and volunteerism programs.

Angst gehört zum Leben — aber nicht jede Angst ist sinnvoll. Viele Ängste sind Konstrukte, die uns lähmen, unsere Gesundheit belasten und die Lebensqualität einschränken. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit der Kinesiologin Katrin Remmelberger darüber, was Angst biochemisch im Körper auslöst, warum manche Ängste aus dem Familiensystem oder früheren Inkarnationen stammen und wie Blütenessenzen helfen können, sie zu lösen. Wir gehen systematisch verschiedene Arten von Angst durch und nennen konkrete Essenzen für jede Spielart. Außerdem erklären wir, warum fertige Mischungen wie Emergency Essence oder Fearlessness ein guter Einstieg sind, aber die spezifische Essenz oft noch besser wirkt — und warum es sinnvoll ist, erst die Angst zu lösen, bevor man den positiven Zustand manifestiert.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist and composer Stash Wyslouch for a conversation that moves easily between music, teaching, parenthood, and the deeper question of how artists actually learn. Stash has built a unique musical voice that draws from bluegrass, jazz, metal, and avant-garde traditions, and hearing how those influences intersect in his life and work makes for a fascinating conversation.We begin with a big life moment: Stash recently welcomed a newborn into the world. He reflects on how becoming a parent shifts perspective—not just personally, but creatively. Themes like humility, empathy, patience, and time suddenly carry new weight, and those ideas show up in how he approaches collaboration, teaching, and the creative process itself.From there, we trace his musical path—from early experiences in heavy metal to discovering bluegrass, jazz, and experimental music. Growing up in New England, studying at Berklee College of Music, and being part of a tight-knit musical community all helped shape his artistic voice. We also talk about the complicated role of labels like “avant-garde”—how they can be useful shorthand while also limiting how audiences hear the music.We spend real time on influences—Charles Ives, Arnold Schoenberg, Lennie Tristano, and Anthony Braxton—and how ideas from those composers intersect with improvisation, ear training, and creative freedom. And finally, Stash shares details about his upcoming duo record Matty and Debbie with drummer Sean Trischka, a project that pulls together bluegrass, jazz, metal, hymnody, and pure curiosity into one cohesive musical statement.Key TakeawaysParenthood reshapes perspective — becoming a parent can influence creativity, collaboration, and priorities.Musical identity can span genres — Stash's work draws from metal, bluegrass, jazz, and experimental music.Labels can both help and hinder — terms like “avant-garde” describe music but can also narrow how people hear it.Community shapes artists — New England roots and Berklee connections helped shape Stash's musical path.Learning the process matters more than chasing results — growth comes from patience and curiosity.Rhythm and feel take time — some musical skills simply can't be rushed.Creative projects thrive on curiosity — his upcoming duo record with Sean Trischka explores multiple traditions at once.Music from the EpisodeAcoustic Metal Party - Stash WyslouchStash's Turkey in the Straw - Stash WyslouchOver in the Gloryland - Stash WyslouchAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

On this deeply moving and transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes world-renowned life coach, best-selling author, and two-time Emmy winner Rhonda Britten . Widely considered one of the leading experts on fear, Rhonda shares her extraordinary story and unpacks her unique wisdom on healing trauma, mastering fear, and reclaiming self-worth. This conversation – heartfelt and honest – is not just about understanding fear, but about finding freedom from its grip. A Brave Beginning: Trauma, Grief, and the Split Self The episode opens with Wize El Jefe setting the stage, introducing Rhonda with well-earned accolades, and preparing listeners for a deep dive into the nature of fear and personal transformation. Rhonda's story begins with a tragic event that shaped her life forever: as a 14-year-old, she was the sole witness to her father's murder of her mother followed by his suicide. This unimaginable trauma led Rhonda to live in a state of guilt and shame for decades, feeling as though happiness was permanently off the table because she “did nothing heroic.” She describes splitting into two selves—the “Outside Rhonda,” who appeared fine and accomplished, and the “Inside Rhonda,” burdened with pain. Despite external success as a straight-A student, internally Rhonda wrestled with addiction and suicidal ideation. She candidly shares her struggle: three suicide attempts, alcohol abuse, and countless workshops and therapy sessions in search of a way out. Ultimately, a humble approach—giving herself gold stars for any tiny positive action—provided her a sense of hope and the realization that she could change. This process marked the beginning of her journey to truly understanding and mastering fear. Fear: What It Is, What It Isn't, and How It Operates Throughout the episode, Rhonda challenges the common misconceptions about fear. She emphasizes that thinking, while not inherently bad, becomes problematic when driven by fear, as it keeps people stuck in their minds, ruminating and replaying the same worries over and over. One of her central messages is: “There's nothing wrong with you, it's just fear.” If this idea could pierce every listener's heart, she believes compassion and courage would naturally emerge. Rhonda explains her groundbreaking model—the “Wheel of Fear” and the “Wheel of Freedom.” She describes fear as a four-part mechanism that is hardwired into us, intended to keep us safe. However, what is safe can also be small, familiar, and ultimately limiting. The Wheel of Fear is activated as we move into the unknown, uncertainty, or risk, leading to responses like procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, resentment, bitterness, and more. She introduces a quiz she created to help identify each person's “core trigger” that drives their specific fear responses—often something deeper than the common, surface-level fears of rejection or failure. One of the episode's powerful moments is Rhonda's quiz: she lists a series of fear responses and asks listeners to honestly admit how many they relate to. The vast majority nod their heads to over 90% of them, revealing the pervasive, often unseen impact of fear on day-to-day living. She encourages reframing these behaviors as “fear responses” rather than personal flaws, creating space for change: “Just relabeling them, reframing them, naming them properly will start creating space between you and it…” This shift opens up new possibilities for healing and freedom. Vulnerability, Shame, and Healing The conversation takes an intimate turn as Wize El Jefe shares his own story of loss—his wife's passing, followed by the loss of his mother, father, brothers, and others in close succession. He speaks about years of anger, guilt, and feeling punished by life, and how self-development books introduced by his wife laid the groundwork for his eventual healing. Rhonda responds with empathy, acknowledging how admitting guilt or shame, as Wize El Jefe does for the first time publicly, is a heroic act that heals the soul: “Every time we admit something, we heal. Every time we transcend our shame…that is what heals trauma.” Both speakers reflect on the importance of honest, vulnerable self-expression and the courage it takes to move through pain, process feelings, and eventually reclaim happiness. Rhonda recalls keeping her trauma a secret for years, constructing impenetrable walls to protect herself but also preventing her from receiving love and help. She highlights how keeping secrets and repressing shame hold people back from true self-fulfillment. The act of telling the truth, especially to someone trustworthy and without judgment, is identified as a central step toward healing. Transformation: Choosing Who You Want to Be Rhonda and Wize El Jefe discuss the power of choice in personal transformation. Rhonda explains that, for years, she felt constrained by her past, unable to imagine that she could choose who she wanted to be. Only after several years of sobriety did she fully grasp the concept: “With every choice I make, I'm deciding who I'm going to be.” This insight is revolutionary, providing a path for listeners to move from victimhood or being defined by trauma into empowered authors of their lives. This theme resonates in Wize El Jefe's account of launching the podcast. He describes how fear and self-doubt (“Who's going to want to listen to you? You sound horrible.”) held him back for years. Ultimately, pressing record and releasing his first episode became a symbolic act of confronting fear and stepping into his potential. The growth since then—from one episode a month to building a platform that enables vulnerability and connection—is testament to the courage embedded in action. The Dark Night of the Soul: A Gateway to Growth Rhonda explains the spiritual concept of the “dark night of the soul” through her own experience: even at the peak of her career, winning an Emmy, she found herself emotionally and physically depleted. In a “dark night,” the world seems to pull the rug out from under you, all former beliefs and identities crumble, and you must confront the truth of who you are without familiar supports. Rhonda describes how her own journey through this period—marked by the need for companionship, self-compassion, and honesty even in her vulnerability—ultimately made her a softer, more loving person. She emphasizes that the dark night is not “stuckness,” but part of transformation, a tunnel one must pass through to reach new levels of soul growth. Fearlessness in Everyday Life A recurring question is what “true fearlessness” looks like in daily life. Rhonda offers a simple but profound answer: taking action aligned with one's authentic self, even when it feels terrifying, is the essence of fearlessness. She praises Wize El Jefe's own act of expressing guilt and vulnerability as true bravery. Fearlessness does not mean absence of fear, but the willingness to be honest, to feel, and to move forward anyway. Whether pressing record on a podcast, admitting a painful truth, or simply facing the day, these are all acts of courageous living. The episode reinforces the importance of self-compassion and gentle honesty. Rhonda warns against beating oneself up, noting that shame and self-criticism only solidify fear's grip. Instead, labeling behaviors as fear responses and examining the core trigger provides a route out of stagnation and into freedom. She encourages listeners to take her quiz at fearlessliving.org/quiz, which offers tangible insight into individual fears and begins the process of mastering them. Practical Wisdom and Action Steps For listeners who feel “stuck” but cannot name the cause, Rhonda advises reframing the experience: rather than repeating “I'm stuck,” try “I'm afraid.” Identifying fear responses and tracking them with honesty disrupts self-blame and invites healing. She urges listeners to see stuckness not as failure but as part of a tunnel or passage in life's journey, a necessary stage for transformation. It's all about perspective—are you viewing your life through the “wheel of fear” or the “wheel of freedom”? This choice shapes everything. The Power of Compassion, Connection, and Service The episode closes with recognition of the incredible growth both Rhonda and Wize El Jefe have experienced by facing fear, trauma, and loss head-on. The podcast itself becomes a vehicle for shared healing, connection, and compassion. Wize El Jefe expresses gratitude for his supportive family and for the opportunity to build real relationships and share his story, echoing Rhonda's call for vulnerability and honesty. Rhonda's final message is as powerful as it is liberating: “Remember what I said earlier — there's nothing wrong with you. It's just fear.” She urges everyone to visit fearlessliving.org for more resources and to take her transformative quiz, beginning the journey toward living the life their soul intended. Final Thoughts: This episode is a must-listen for anyone burdened by fear, shame, grief, or feeling stuck. Through Rhonda's story and wisdom, and Wize El Jefe's honest reflections, listeners are given a roadmap for understanding and transcending fear—one gold star, one act of courage at a time. The insights here are practical, compassionate, and empowering: the journey to healing and self-realization starts with naming fear, reframing shame, and choosing authenticity. Both guest and host demonstrate that vulnerability in action is the ultimate form of fearlessness. Whether you're coping with trauma, seeking freedom from self-doubt, or simply wanting to live more fully, the episode offers hope, tools, and inspiration. Share it with someone who needs to hear they're not alone—and remind them that what appears as “stuckness” may be their first step on the path to fearless living.

Episode Overview We are living in a time of global upheaval, moral inversion, and spiritual confusion. Scripture warned us that such days would come—but it also prepared us for them. In Part 1 of our Spiritual Warfare Series, we lay the foundation by answering a critical question:   What is spiritual warfare—from a biblical, Messianic, Torah‑rooted perspective?   This episode introduces the reality of an unseen cosmic conflict between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness, a war that has been raging since the dawn of creation and one in which every believer is already involved—whether they realize it or not. Contrary to popular Christian culture, spiritual warfare is not emotionalism, not fear‑based obsession, and not optional. It is covenantal, scriptural, and central to our calling as the redeemed of YHWH in these last days.

What if time management isn't the problem at all? What if the real constraint is the standard you're operating from? In this episode of the Seven Figure Standard Podcast, hosts Myke Stiller and Arash Vossoughi challenge the belief that better scheduling leads to better results and introduce a different approach they call “standard boxing.” The episode challenges the idea that productivity is about managing time, and instead, focuses on how standards shape results. Arash explains why busyness often masks distraction, and how raising standards creates focus, consistency, and faster progress without adding more hours. The conversation centers on how standards are built through repetition and discipline, and how they influence identity over time. The episode closes with a simple experiment: commit to one higher standard for the next seven days and observe what changes. If you're ready to rethink productivity from the inside out, this conversation offers a clear place to begin!Key Points From This Episode:Why time management fails and standards drive results.Busy does not mean productive: focusing on what actually moves the needle.Understanding standards as daily actions, not intentions or motivation.Choosing one standard to intentionally install at a time.What standards really are: behaviors you normalize and repeat.Fearlessness, action, and obsession as core high-performance standards.How to install a new standard today, stay consistent, and hold yourself accountable.Why standards must be stronger than emotions, comfort, and excuses.Building momentum through daily wins and repetition.Seven-day sprints to create fast identity shifts.Competing with yourself instead of settling or conforming.Final challenge: choose one standard and enforce it this week.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Voss Coaching CoVoss Coaching Co on LinkedIn Voss Coaching Co on InstagramVoss Coaching Co on FacebookMykie Stiller on LinkedInMykie Stiller on Instagram Arash Vossoughi on LinkedInArash Vossoughi on YouTube

In today's episode, Bob 'n Joyce take on a question many organizations avoid—but can't afford to ignore: What does the business actually need from its leaders right now? Rather than defaulting to generic competency models or last year's leadership playbook, Joyce pulls from her flip-chart archives—capturing real-world leadership “must-haves” identified by two distinct groups: the C-suite and Operations VPs working in the trenches. What emerges is a fascinating contrast between strategic expectations and operational realities—from leading large-scale change and building long-term capacity, to battle-hardened confidence, simplicity of mindset, and spending more time in the field than the office. Bob 'n Joyce then force-rank the top three leadership attributes from each group and invite you to do the same. Why? Because leadership development without context is just activity—not impact. Given the challenges your organization faces this year, this episode helps you make a conscious, strategic choice about where to focus leadership development so it serves the business—not just the curriculum. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome. Footnote: Leadership Attributes Identified by Each Group C-suite Leadership “Must-Haves” • Proven track record • Builds capacity • High energy endurance • Vision for strategy • Inspires • Compassionate • Courageous • Builds productive relationships • Leads large change • Keeps the long-term good of the company in mind Operations VP Leadership “Must-Haves” • Passionate and curious • Battle-hardened confidence • Team smarts (collaborative) • Simple mindset (ultimate sophistication) • Fearlessness (no comfort in comfort) • Preparation and patience • Time management • Smart interviewing • More time out of the office than in • The art of running meetings

Today I am delighted to talk with Roderick Ferguson about his provocative and much-needed intervention, “An Interruption in Our Cowardice.”  Initially driven by his deep disappointment in some Black intellectuals' compliance and even assistance with reactionary forces, this essay opens onto profound issues of institutionalization, professionalization, and the deadening and repressive mental, social, and intellectual habits being “accepted” create. In our conversation we spend some time talking about alternative, and very real counterexamples to cowardice, such as the fearless examples of the encampments of the Student Intifada. We note that such alternative sites have always been there historically, and that it is crucial to turn our eyes to those spaces, if we are going to preserve the promise of liberatory education.Roderick A. Ferguson is the William Robertson Coe Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and American Studies at Yale University. He is also faculty in the Yale Prison Education Initiative as well as the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute/Yale National Initiative. He is the author of One-Dimensional Queer (Polity, 2019), We Demand: The University and Student Protests (University of California, 2017), The Reorder of Things: The University and Its Pedagogies of Minority Difference (University of Minnesota, 2012), and Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique(University of Minnesota, 2004). He is the co-editor with Grace Hong of the anthology Strange Affinities: The Gender and Sexual Politics of Comparative Racialization (Duke University, 2011). He is also co-editor with Erica Edwards and Jeffrey Ogbar of Keywords of African American Studies (NYU, 2018). He is the 2020 recipient of the Kessler Award from the Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS). His book In View of the Tradition: Black Art and Radical Thought will be released Fall 2026.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes how America's shutdown is revealing shocking welfare data, investigates a Socialist-Islamist power alliance in New York City, breaks down the arrest of a radical British speaker, and answers listener questions about his years inside the CIA. Union Revolt and Welfare Shock: The largest federal workers' union — normally a Democrat ally — is now demanding an end to the shutdown, while new data reveals that most U.S. food stamp recipients live in foreign-born households. Bryan explains how this exposes a broken immigration system and a growing dependency crisis, citing research showing that long-term aid actually keeps people poorer. Socialist and Islamist Alliance in New York: Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani leads New York's mayoral race with heavy backing from radical leftist and Muslim groups, including CAIR and Students for Justice in Palestine. Bryan unpacks the money, ideology, and political networks behind Mamdani's rise — and warns what his victory could mean for America's largest city. Trump Deports Radical British Preacher: Federal agents detained British Islamist Sami Hamdi, who was touring the U.S. with CAIR to rally Muslim and leftist activists. Citing post-9/11 counterterror policy, Bryan explains why Trump's DHS acted swiftly to revoke his visa and how Western leaders are finally confronting political Islam's infiltration strategy. Fearlessness and a CIA Life: Bryan closes with a reflection on courage, truth, and the lessons he learned as a CIA officer — from recruitment and fieldwork to his most memorable operation abroad. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: U.S. government shutdown welfare data, food stamps foreign-born households, CIS immigrant welfare use, Zohran Mamdani socialist Islamist ties, CAIR Students for Justice in Palestine, Sami Hamdi deportation DHS, political Islam infiltration strategy, Bryan Dean Wright CIA recruitment stories

The road to mastery is paved with small improvements every day.Communicating can feel daunting at times. What does it take to find your voice in the moments that matter most? As Chiney Ogwumike says, “There is freedom on the other side of your fear.”As a professional basketball player, NBA and WNBA analyst for ESPN, and advocate for gender equality in sports, Ogwumike faces many situations where communication is critical. For her, achieving confidence in communication is the same as honing any other skill—embracing failure and refinement through repetition. “The best things in life are things you work out over long periods of time,” she says. “Great people, great communicators, anyone that's working at something, show up each and every day and just chip away, chip away, chip away, until they turn that weakness into a strength.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ogwumike and host Matt Abrahams discuss how practice and preparation can equip us for better communication, transforming fear into confidence, perfectionism into authenticity, and weakness into strength.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Chiney OgwumikeEp.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail You Ep.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:20) - Communication on the Court (04:02) - Performing Under Pressure (06:11) - Lessons from Great Coaches (08:21) - Embracing Imperfection and Authenticity (11:43) - Strategies for Effective On-Air Communication (16:16) - The Final Three Questions (19:09) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

What does John Travolta strutting through Brooklyn with two slices of pizza have to do with the Ṛg Veda's yajña-puruṣa, the divine person behind the cosmos? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha show how Travolta's swagger reflects Krishna's playful personhood in Vṛndāvana. We explore how the Bhāgavatam reveals God “off duty”—laughing, eating with his friends, and personally searching for lost calves—while also guiding us toward fearlessness, community, and deeper spiritual focus. Key themes include: * Travolta's swagger as reflection of Krishna's divine personhood * God Off Duty: yajña-puruṣa as a barefoot boy in Vṛndāvana * Why the devas were stunned by Krishna's picnic * Fearlessness through friendship with Krishna * Sage Groups vs. Netflix rabbit holes * Prabhupāda's final purports from Vrindāvana Subscribe and join us for daily wisdom, Vedic insights, and Bhakti inspiration.
