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.

Family remains at the center of everything. He discusses his relationship with his brothers and how they influenced each other creatively, and what family legacy means in the Wayans clan.

This is a devotional study about being completely faithful, and how different that is from partial faithfulness. We cannot limit our trust in God to delivery of the messages He gives us, but we need to trust Him after the message has been delivered as well.Jeremiah 1:7-8 KJVBut the LORD said unto me, "Say not, 'I am a child:' for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee," saith the LORD.Related Podcasts:— Fear Not — For I am With Thee— Take Courage— What Doest Thou Here, Elijah?— We are Well Able to Overcome— Hide me from the Wicked— Encourage Yourself in the Lord— It Repented the LORDRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Jeremiah's Way vs Urijah's Way— The Reproach of Egypt— The Battle is the Lord's— Rahab makes a change— Consulting GodText UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.

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

Alpha Hour Exhortation - Episode 11111
Fearlessness in Christ is like a bird soaring freely, unburdened by the weight of death. In today's message, Pastor Mark conveys how trusting God removes the fear of dying, granting you true freedom. You might naturally wrestle with fears about the future, wondering what lies ahead. But if you fully trust God, everything changes. You're not rushing to die, obviously. But you're not afraid of death either. This confidence liberates you from anxiety's grip. You can live boldly, resting in His plan daily. His sovereignty covers every moment. Are you trusting God's control to free you from ever being overcome with fear of the future?
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.

In this solo episode, I'm diving deep into a crucial topic that doesn't get talked about enough: how to differentiate between fear and danger when working with psychedelics.This episode was inspired by my coach training at iPEC and the powerful concept of Fearlessness—the idea that fear is a projection of the mind, not a present-moment truth.Understanding the difference between fear and danger can literally be the difference between a transformative psychedelic experience and a traumatizing one. And the line between the two is not always clear—especially when psychological or energetic safety is involved.Topics Covered: Why fear is natural (and even healthy) when approaching psychedelic workHow danger shows up in the psychedelic space—from unsafe facilitators to inadequate screeningClear examples of fear vs. danger in ceremony settingsWhy mistaking one for the other could cost you transformation—or your safetyHow prep coaching can help you work with fear and protect yourself from dangerSupport the show and become a subscriber for just $4.99/mo!As a subscriber, enjoy ad free and intro free episodes, early access to new episodes + a monthly bonus podcast.Explore Coaching with Lana:Iboga Integration & Prep Coaching (NEW-now enrolling)Psychedelically Informed Life Coaching (6 Month Program)Stay Connected to Modern Psychedelics:Instagram: @modernpsychedelicsYouTube: Modern Psychedelics YouTubeWebsite: www.modernpsychedelics.netSubstack: The Healthy EgoFree Resources:FREE Iboga Preparation GuideFREE Set Better GoalsFREE Integration Journal FREE Intention Setting JournalFREE Psychedelic Ceremony ChecklistFREE Playlists for Psychedelic Journeys + IntegrationDISCLAIMER: Modern Psychedelics does not endorse or support the illegal consumption of any substances.

We're bringing back a fan favorite episode from the Buddhism for Everyone archives with an exploration of fear, anxiety, and bravery. Fearlessness is often spoken of in Buddhist teachings, but here we go beyond the idea of simply “being brave” to uncover how the Buddha understood fear itself. Together, we'll look at what causes fear, the antidotes that dissolve it, and how we can tap into the quiet courage already within us. In Buddhism, there is a distinction between skillful fear and unskillful fear. Skillful fear can protect us. An example of skilful fear is noticing a subway train barreling down the tracks and stepping back. But unskillful fear? That's the kind that traps us, limits us, and leads to actions that cause suffering. In this beloved episode, we explore unskillful fear and how to meet it with wisdom, compassion, and practical tools for everyday life. We also examine the common forms unskillful fear takes, such as: Fear of things that may or may not happen Fear of the inevitable changes of life, like aging Fear for the safety or happiness of those we love This episode has been replayed again and again by listeners who say it's brought them peace, clarity, and even a little spark of bravery. We're so happy to share it with you once more.

Fear isn't a life sentence—it's a learned pattern. In this powerful solo episode, Penny Chiasson pulls back the curtain on the illusion that fear is a necessary motivator. Drawing from her own experience and a recent breakthrough conversation with a Voxer client, Penny walks you through why most fear isn't real and how to train your brain to thrive in the unfamiliar instead of defaulting to survival mode. Here's what you'll learn: Why the belief that “you'll always live with fear” is keeping you stuck How your brain wires fear through stories, not reality Why pushing through fear might actually reinforce it instead of dissolving it How to reframe discomfort as possibility and not threat The mindset shift that turns unfamiliarity into your new playground A daily habit that breaks the fear-success cycle Why your biggest gift might feel “too easy” to you (and why that's exactly the point) What it really means to be a lightworker in this season of humanity And how 5% of us tuning into love—just for a moment—can shift the collective This episode blends subconscious insight, neuroscience, and soul-level truth to help you break free from fear-based loops and step into the life you're here to lead. If you're tired of pushing and ready to feel safe creating from your full potential—this is for you.
