1805 MARIETTA OHIORevolutionary Mythmaking Transforms Controversial Frontier FiguresRobert G. Parkinson, Part Two: In 1775, Michael Cresap led Maryland riflemen on the "Beeline March" to Boston. Sick with malaria, Cresap died in New York, where patriots staged a lavish funeral that transformed the controversial frontiersman into a revolutionary hero. Meanwhile, Logan was murdered around 1780 by his nephew Todkahdos, who deemed Logan's oratorical influence too dangerous amidst ongoing frontier conflict. Thomas Jefferson published Logan's speech in Notes on the State of Virginia to refute European claims of American degeneracy, falsely elevating Logan as a classic hero while vilifying Cresap. Attorney Luther Martin fought for years to rehabilitate Cresap's reputation. Later popularized in McGuffey Readers, Logan's Lament reinforced the "vanishing Indian" narrative, culminating in early 20th-century monument battles between the Cresap and Logan families. (2)

Federal Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has told Mark Levy that the Federal Government's plan for migration will actually see the nation's intake increase. The leader believes the policy unfairly targets some workers, including those working on farms or in pubs. On the Opposition's policy, the Opposition Leader says the '"cap" for net-overseas migration must sit at 170,000 people. Mr Taylor also refused to be drawn on if the government should cut the fuel excise again, as petrol and diesel prices skyrocket. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the central AI debate is between freedom and government, and between knowledge and idiocy. These politicians, bureaucrats, and regulators think they know more than inventors, creators, and innovators, and are trying to make people fearful of technological advancement. We need to remember the politicians who oppose this progress; they're populists, nationalists, Marxists, and socialists who seek greater control while presenting their actions as protecting "the people." Government control of AI would be a power grab and would benefit Democrat political interests and favored groups, while also helping Communist China. Government and politicians need to keep their hands off and allow advancement to move forward. Also, Arkansas Senate candidate Hallie Shoffner says she would trade five Americans for one ‘undocumented immigrant.' Hardworking Americans pay taxes and contribute significantly to the country. Schaffner is ineffective and out of touch. Meanwhile, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's pastor says that Talarico will return to his previous radical views after being elected. He is changing his message solely to gain political power. Later, gas prices are high but voters should not be discouraged from supporting Republicans in the midterm election. Electing Democrats by staying home on Election day will not lower gas prices. Democrats support policies that would raise costs, increase taxes, expand government power, and advance a radical agenda. Republican victories are necessary to maintain control of the House and Senate and prevent investigations, impeachments, and Democratic control of government. Low voter turnout could lead to the destruction of the economy and our republic. Afterward, Deuteronomy was the most widely read and cited book during the Revolutionary period, appearing more frequently in speeches, writings, and official documents than any other source. Figures such as Madison, Washington, Adams, and Jefferson repeatedly referenced the Hebrew Bible, not to promote Judaism, but because they saw parallels between ancient events and their own circumstances. Ideas from the Hebrew Bible helped shape arguments about natural law, natural rights, and the Creator, while also overlapping with Enlightenment thought, particularly that of John Locke, although Deuteronomy was cited even more frequently. Finally, Ben Shapiro calls in to discuss Daily Wire's new film - Run Hide Fight: Infidels. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week marks our third Wednesday, which means it's time for a conversation with someone from our own community, and I couldn't be more excited to have Derek Dombeck back. Derek's been coaching with us for about a year now at the highest levels of our program, and he brings almost 25 years of his own real estate investing experience to every session. Today I wanted to get his honest, unfiltered perspective on what actually separates the students who take off fast from the ones who stay stuck, since he's seen it up close in a way nobody else has. Derek gets real about what he's learned coaching inside our community: why showing up to live events and building genuine relationships accelerates everyone's progress, why he's passionate about a communication and negotiation system he built called No Means Not Yet, and why option-based deals on distressed and default properties remain one of the most overlooked tools in creative real estate. He also opens up about a genuinely hard season this year and the way our community showed up for him. If you've ever wondered what's actually happening behind the scenes at the highest levels of a coaching community, this conversation pulls back the curtain.

In this episode of Beyond Limits, Liv sits down with Kate Perkovic, a business mentor who helps founders turn six figures into seven. After starting out as a server, Kate entered the online business world, built a fitness business, moved into high-ticket sales, and eventually launched her own company, reaching seven figures within 18 months.Together, Liv and Kate explore what actually allows a business to scale, from balancing strategy and intuition to getting radically honest about the gap between the results you want and the actions you are willing to take.They also dive deep into brand positioning and the differences between mass market, premium, and luxury brands. Kate explains why knowing your lane matters, how each type of brand creates a different reason to buy, and why inconsistent positioning can make it harder for your audience to understand your value.The conversation then turns to the psychology behind great marketing and sales, including scarcity, social proof, authority, and reciprocity. Kate shares why the best selling often does not feel like selling at all, why value-driven content is far from dead, and how your marketing can begin shaping the identity and commitment of your ideal client before they ever buy.Inside this episode:

The Thought Leader Revolution Podcast | 10X Your Impact, Your Income & Your Influence
"The minimum standard is excellence. If you have to ask me whether you should serve a burnt pizza, you've already answered the question." — Rick Rosenfield Rick Rosenfield didn't set out to build a restaurant empire. He was a federal prosecutor who put mob bosses in prison, then left the Department of Justice to open a pizza restaurant in Beverly Hills with his law partner — no restaurant experience, a mortgaged home, and a business plan written on a word processor that declared California-style pizza would become the third great pizza tradition in America. It happened. California Pizza Kitchen grew to 285 locations, over 14,000 employees, and pioneered what the industry came to call polished casual dining. But Rick's telling of that story is not about barbecue chicken pizza or real estate strategy. It's about a culture framework called ROCK — Respect, Opportunity, Communication, Kindness — and why the minimum standard for staying in the organization was excellence, not effort. In this conversation, Rick and Nicky dig into the specific mechanics of building a people-first business: how CPK set written standards before it was fashionable, why they required every server to pass a menu test before being hired, what Ray Kroc's autobiography taught two lawyers about letting the wrong people go, and the moment they fired their star chef one month into opening — and cried on the office floor — before empowering someone from the kitchen who stayed for 12 years. Rick also shares the expensive lesson of growing too fast when PepsiCo pushed them to open 50 to 100 restaurants a year, and why Navy SEAL sniper and bestselling author Jack Carr's advice — trust your instincts, slow is smooth, smooth is fast — turns out to apply just as well to building a business as it does to a combat mission.

Garry first appeared six weeks in, after 25 years in IT sales. He now services 55 regular clients plus real estate work and is bringing on his first employee.He explains why he has no interest in running his own Google or Facebook ads, why his franchise fee and lead fees are his entire marketing budget, and how he responds to people who assume franchisees are paying Jim a fortune. Garry covers running costs, insurance, tip fees and consumables, why his first year cash flow came in at double his forecast on fewer jobs than planned, and how he built the confidence to hold his prices and let the wrong client go. He also shares two occasions where other franchisees dropped everything to cover his jobs at short notice.Listen for an honest two year view of a Jim's Mowing franchise, including the parts that were hard.INCOME DISCLAIMERThe income, revenue and profit figures shared in this episode reflect one franchisee's individual experience.

Brad Rourke, Executive Chairman of Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR80), joins me to review the first drill results, at the Blueberry Contact Zone, from the fully-funded 50,000 metre 2026 drill program at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. We also expand on the pathway forward into development of the Project, and eventual production in 2028. On September 9th, the company released the first assays from its 2026 drill program, including multiple high-grade gold intercepts on its Blueberry and Lemoffe vein zones. Highlights: Blueberry Contact drillhole SR26-492 intersected 9.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 18.00 metres (m), including 40.4 g/t gold over 2.0 m at the Lemoffe vein zone. The hole also intercepted an additional Lemoffe vein grading 15.9 g/t gold over 2.0 m (Table 1, Figures 1,2). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR26-489 intersected 26.2 g/t gold over 2.45 m at the Lemoffe vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,3). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR26-490 intersected 14.6 g/t gold over 2.45 m at the Blueberry vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,4). More than 40,000 m of drilling this season has been completed in 160 holes, with an additional 12,000 to 16,000 m forecasted to be completed within the existing budget due to better-than-expected drilling productivity. Four drill holes are reported in this news release with assays pending, results will be reported throughout the remainder of the year as received. Eight diamond drills are currently turning; seven on the Scottie Gold Mine Project and one on Cambria Project. Brad highlighted that the 2026 drilling program is focused on three key objectives: upgrading inferred ounces to indicated through infill drilling, expanding known vein zones, and testing major step-outs and new targets. This year's exploration program is expected to be in the order of 52,000 to 56,000 total metres. We discussed some holes testing expansion targets like Wolf, P-Zone, C&D veins, and Domino. After all the 2026 data comes in the Company will then update the Resource Estimate and complete the workstreams to announce the Feasibility Study in 2027, with first production anticipated in 2028.

Kelly pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest decisions of her career: flipping the business from high ticket on the front end to low ticket, and fully productizing. This is the honest debrief, the good, the bad, and the ugly, from someone who ran the high-ticket model successfully at eight figures and chose to build something different anyway. She traces the whole evolution, from knowing the model that took her to eight figures was not the one she wanted to take to nine, through years of exploring other business models, to where the company sits now: 300 to 400 sales a month with email, text, social, and funnels doing the customer acquisition that live launches used to. She's candid about what this transition actually costs. Running both models at once for years. Saying goodbye to great team members who are no longer needed and completely retooling the roles of those who stay. Investing heavily in brand and email-list growth before the funnels carry the load. And she's clear on why it was worth it. A calendar that went from booked solid to nearly open, the freedom to homeschool two days a week and go to church and train before work, and a lighter, frictionless business her whole team feels. She also names the missing piece most people get wrong (low-ticket offers that don't intentionally feed the high ticket), and makes the case that there's a point where more money simply can't stand in for freedom.

Welcome to Day 2946 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain and today is Day 2946 – Theology Thursday – Sirach and the Fight for Israel's Soul Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2946 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2946 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons are available on his website, theologyinfive.com. Sirach and the Fight for Israel's Soul. The Book of Sirach stands at a turning point in the history of Israel. After the conquests of Alexander the Great, the ancient world changed forever. Greek culture, language, philosophy, and civic life spread across the Near East with remarkable speed. This cultural tide carried enormous pressure, because Hellenism was not simply a set of interesting ideas. It was a full identity system that sought to redefine what it meant to be human. In this environment, many Jews abandoned the covenant, believing that Greek customs offered a path to prosperity, prestige, and modernity. Sirach emerges from this crisis as a call to renewed loyalty to Yahweh. It confronts the seductive promises of Hellenism and offers a vision of wisdom anchored in the covenant rather than the philosophies of the nations. The first segment is: What Hellenism Was. Hellenism reshaped the world by promoting a single cultural framework grounded in the Greek language and the ideals of classical Greece. It elevated philosophical schools like the Stoics and Epicureans. It introduced gymnasiums that celebrated physical excellence, public honor, and the pursuit of fame. It established theaters that portrayed Greek mythology as the universal story of humanity. It encouraged participation in Greek civic life, which often required honoring Greek gods and adopting Greek moral values. This cultural system promised enlightenment and unity, presenting itself as the natural next step for any society wishing to progress. It was attractive because it offered social mobility and respect in a world where power had shifted decisively toward Greek norms. The second segment is: Why Hellenism Threatened Israel For Israel, the spread of Hellenism created a direct conflict with the covenant. Greek philosophy grounded virtue in human reason rather than in obedience to the God of Abraham. Greek athletics celebrated the human body in ways that clashed with Jewish modesty and purity laws. Greek civic rituals often involved sacrifices or festivals to the Greek gods. Even the Greek language and educational system encouraged a worldview that placed human achievement at the center rather than Yahweh. Many young Jews saw Hellenism as sophisticated and forward-looking. They wanted to join the gymnasium, study philosophy, adopt Greek names, and climb the social ladder. This was not a casual interest. It required abandoning parts of Jewish identity. Circumcision was mocked as barbaric. Loyalty to Yahweh was treated as narrow-minded. The pressure to assimilate was immense. The third segment is: The Jewish Conflict Under Hellenistic Pressure. This cultural tension fractured Jewish society. A group later known as the Hasidim resisted assimilation and insisted on faithfulness to the covenant. Other Jews, particularly those in positions of power, embraced Hellenism as the path to political and social advancement. Competition between these groups intensified until it eventually set the stage for the crisis under Antiochus IV. Even before that explosion, the conflict was already reshaping daily life in Jerusalem. The Book of Sirach comes from this period when assimilation was growing rapidly, and the faithful needed clear guidance to resist it. The fourth segment is: Sirach as Resistance Literature. Sirach is not merely a collection of sayings. It is a deliberate pushback against the cultural takeover of Hellenism. Ben Sira confronts the idea that wisdom can be defined by human intellect or philosophical speculation. He insists that the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom and that true understanding comes only through covenant obedience. This stands in sharp contrast with Greek philosophical traditions that grounded virtue in reason, logic, or the disciplined human will. Sirach places humility at the center of wisdom in a world that celebrated fame, glory, and self-elevation. Sirach counters Greek ideals by teaching that wisdom begins with awe before the Creator, not with human insight. He rebukes the pursuit of honor for its own sake, warns against the destructive power of pride, and emphasizes the holiness of marriage, family, and righteous speech in a culture that glorified pleasure, ambition, and the art of persuasive rhetoric. The fifth segment is: Sirach's Strategy for Preserving Israel. Ben Sira sought to form a community capable of resisting assimilation. He taught that honoring parents was not merely good manners but a foundation of covenant life. He linked generosity to trust in God rather than to Greek ideals of civic virtue. He rooted ethics in the commandments, not in philosophical debates. He warned against false friendships and manipulative speech, both of which characterized political life in Hellenistic cities. Every part of his instruction was aimed at creating a resilient identity grounded in Yahweh rather than the prestige of Greek culture. Sirach's approach was simple and profound. If Israel remained faithful in daily life, it would remain faithful in moments of crisis. If Israel treasured humility, purity, and obedience, the temptations of Hellenism would lose their appeal. His wisdom was not abstract. It was a way of life designed to protect the covenant community. The sixth segment is: The Praise of the Fathers as Cultural Warfare. Chapters 44 through 50 form one of the most deliberate acts of cultural resistance in ancient Jewish literature. Greek culture filled the world with heroic narratives that celebrated men who were born from unions between gods and human women. Figures like Achilles, Heracles, Perseus, and Helen were remembered as half divine beings whose power, stature, and physical prowess exceeded normal human limits. They were not described as towering giants like the Titans or the Gigantes, but ancient writers often portrayed them as unusually large, strong, or imposing when compared with ordinary people of their time. Their scale and abilities placed them within the same broad category of divine human hybrids that the Bible associates with the Nephilim, even if their size was not monstrous. Ben Sira understood what these stories represented. The Greek heroic tradition did not simply offer entertaining myths. It offered an identity system rooted in beings connected to the spiritual rebellion described in Genesis. Their greatness was measured through violence, pride, sensuality, and the pursuit of glory. Their stories shaped the imagination of those who admired them and encouraged the moral values at the heart of Hellenistic culture. Sirach responded by presenting a different lineage of greatness. Instead of exalting demigods, he lifted up Enoch, who walked with God, Abraham, who trusted God, Moses, who confronted empires, Aaro,n who guarded holiness, Phinehas, who defended purity, Davi,d who shepherded Israel, and Elija,h who opposed idolatry. These were faithful humans rather than hybrids born of rebellious spirits. They represented humility, obedience, covenant identity, and devotion to Yahweh. In doing this, Ben Sira declared that Israel did not need the myths of the nations to define true greatness. Israel already had a sacred history rooted in the work of the Most High. The Praise of the Fathers was therefore an act of cultural warfare. It rejected the spiritual corruption behind Greek heroic tradition and replaced it with a godly vision of strength and virtue. The seventh segment is: How Sirach Shaped the World of Jesus. When Jesus walked the hills of Galilee, the struggle between faithfulness and Hellenism was still shaping Jewish life. The moral vocabulary promoted by Sirach influenced the world in which Jesus taught. Many of His teachings on generosity, integrity, humility, and wise...

He explains the 10 percent referral fee he pays agents, his $220 an hour landscaping rate, a 70 percent quote conversion rate, and how he uses ChatGPT to visualise landscaping quotes on site. He also answers the common online claims about lead fees, ownership, and pricing.Listen if you want real first year numbers from a Jim's Mowing franchise instead of guesswork.INCOME DISCLAIMERThe income, revenue and profit figures shared in this episode reflect one franchisee's individual experience.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we celebrate Labor Day by honoring the hardworking Americans who keep our nation running smoothly. Host John Solomon pays tribute to everyone from farmers and teachers to firefighters and carpenters, emphasizing the vital roles they play in our society. As summer draws to a close, Solomon sets the stage for the upcoming fall election season, sharing three crucial numbers that could significantly impact the political landscape.With $900 million in the Republican bank account ready to be deployed in the final 60 days of the election cycle, the stakes are high. Solomon discusses the 15 House districts that have shifted to Republican territory due to redistricting and highlights six battleground states facing extreme leftist candidates. These developments could dramatically alter the electoral outcome.Joining Solomon are key political figures including Joe Gruters, the Republican National Committee chairman, and Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee for Senate in Michigan. They delve into the strategies and momentum building within the party as they approach the 2026 elections. Additionally, Bobby Charles, a former assistant Secretary of State, shares insights on the political landscape in Maine, from the perspective of the Republican nominee for governor of Maine in the upcoming election.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Workshops Are Replacing Webinars for Higher Conversion Webinars used to be a go-to strategy for generating leads, but buyer behavior has changed. In this episode of Beyond 7 Figures, Charles Gaudet sits down with Joe Beecroft and Tom Trush to break down why workshops are outperforming traditional webinars—and how to use them to create a more qualified pipeline. Instead of overwhelming prospects with information, workshops focus on helping people achieve one specific outcome. By getting prospects to actually implement something, you create a transformation that builds trust, demonstrates your expertise, and naturally leads to the next step. Charles, Joe, and Tom also reveal why the workshop itself is only part of the strategy. The real opportunity starts when someone registers. By using content, email, retargeting, and an omnichannel consumption strategy before the workshop, you can create a "consumption qualified lead" who is already educated, engaged, and ready to take action. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why workshops outperform traditional webinars How narrowing your topic can increase conversions Why buyers want outcomes—not more information How to make your offer a natural next step Why you should become your own best case study How consumption creates pre-sold buyers Why the real campaign starts after registration How to build a consumption-qualified lead Why engagement doesn't always equal consumption How to use workshops to create more content RESOURCES MENTIONED: Predictable Profits: https://predictableprofits.com/ Predictable Profits Community: https://predictableprofits.com/community/ Follow Charles Gaudet and Predictable Profits on social media for more strategies to grow your business faster, more predictably, and less dependent on you. Growing a business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. The Beyond 7 Figures podcast explores the strategies, systems, and mindset shifts that help entrepreneurs build companies that are more predictable, scalable, and profitable.

Figures like Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, and Michael Sattler are well known for their roles in the founding and first years of the Anabaptist movement. But there was another figure important to the beginnings of Anabaptism that we rarely hear about. This man, Balthasar Hubmaier, did significant work on Anabaptist theology up to his martyrdom in 1528. He also had his share of weakness and struggle. Dean Taylor gives a profile of who Hubmaier was, what he contributed to the Anabaptist movement, and how his failings led to tragedy.Subscribe to Anabaptist Origins!The writings of Balthasar HubmaierThe Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren Volume 1The Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren Volume 2 Balthasar Hubmaier's Use of the Church Fathers by Andrew KlagerThe Eucharistic Theology and Ethics of Balthasar Hubmaier by Kirk R.

Essays, episodes, the teaching series of Frank Reed, and this summer, Anabaptist Origins: all released freely across a wide range of platforms. Our team grew to meet the production demands of the past two years, with that growth largely funded by giving raised for specific projects like Origins. That giving did what it was meant to do and has now been spent. While our monthly supporter base has grown to over 130 members, their giving does not yet cover ongoing production costs. Current supporters provide an incredibly valuable foundation, so a lack of additional donors would not stop the work, but it would slow considerably. Staying within our current base would mean scaling back hours, publishing less often, and setting the larger projects aside. You have a real say in what we can and cannot do. To sustain what we have built and carry some margin into next year, we are seeking $50,000 by the end of November. Thanks to generous donors, the first $12,000 of this will be matched dollar for dollar. If this work matters to you and you want to keep it going, you can give at anabaptistperspectives.org/keep (or by check to Anabaptist Perspectives, 127 County Road 616, Athens, TN 37303) P.S. If you are unable to give right now, you can still help by passing an episode along to someone who may be blessed by it.
Send us Fan MailWhat if the most productive thing you could do today… is stop doing?For high achievers, that can feel almost illegal.We're wired to solve, fix, plan and push forward. When something isn't working, the instinct is usually: What else do I need to do?But in this episode, Alex and Carol explore a different kind of action: giving yourself just 10–15 intentional minutes to get quiet, check in and actually listen.Because when you stop filling every moment with doing, something interesting happens. You start hearing the thoughts running underneath it all. The inner critic. The limiting beliefs. The resistance that may be keeping you busy… without actually moving you forward.Your brain loves familiar patterns, even when those patterns aren't taking you where you want to go. Creating intentional “me time” gives you space to notice them and begin choosing differently.What might come up if you gave yourself 15 minutes without distraction?And what if that time wasn't selfish or unproductive… but foundational?Sometimes moving forward starts with getting still.

After eight years self-funding and running Parker Management, Lindsay Nead sold her talent agency to legacy production company, Propagate Content, in an eight-figure deal. Lindsay breaks down the full process: 12 strategic conversations, a final number that nearly doubled her target, and a combo deal of cash up front, earnout, and equity she shared with her leadership team. She also explains how Parker has seen a 30% year over year growth since the acquisition. All of this is impressive, but the biggest takeaway from this case study is that the strongest position in any acquisition isn't the highest bid on the table. It's walking in without needing to take one.

Your expertise may be one of the most valuable assets in your business—but if it only exists inside your head, it can be difficult to sell, scale, or transfer. In this episode of Beyond 7 Figures, Charles Gaudet sits down with Simon Bowen, creator of the Genius Model, to explore how visual models can turn complex thinking into something customers, prospects, and teams can understand and act on. Simon shares how he spent 25 years using visual models to resolve complex and contentious problems, align teams, and help organizations reach agreement. The conversation explores why the real value in many service-based businesses isn't the service itself—it's the thinking behind it—and how turning that thinking into a clear framework can create a powerful competitive advantage. Charles and Simon also explore the "founder's trap," why businesses become dependent on the founder's experience and reputation, and how codifying your unique thinking into intellectual property can make a business more scalable, valuable, and less dependent on the person who built it. They also break down the importance of finding the "ache" beneath the problem your customers are willing to articulate—and why identifying that deeper problem can transform how you position and sell your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Make complex ideas simple: Use visual models to create clarity and alignment. Turn expertise into IP: Make the thinking behind your service tangible and valuable. Sell through understanding: Help prospects see and build the solution with you. Escape the founder's trap: Codify your thinking so the business doesn't depend on you. Build your business's "source code": Capture the unique thinking that makes your company different. Find the "ache": Look beyond the problem customers describe to the problem they really need solved. Use your customer's language: Simple, relatable language can transform your positioning. Create valuable IP: Turn your unique thinking into an asset that can scale with the business. Build believability: Show customers how you think to strengthen trust and credibility. Go beyond seven figures: Go deeper with your best customers to discover what truly changed for them.

For the self still organized around avoidance, freedom can register as exposure. Removal of the external regulator often spikes activation. Familiar limitation frequently lowers it. The preference shows itself in repeated selection. A person can choose the clinician, the preacher, the partner, the teacher, or the authority whose remaining darkness matches their own. The match can feel like recognition. It can also keep both parties exactly where they already stand. Familiar wound over unfamiliar capacity appears with striking regularity. Unreadiness in the vessel leaves an opening. Figures step into that opening offering management while speaking the language of sight. When the frequency already feels known, the vessel may accept the arrangement without detecting the substitution. Recognition occurs. Contact with the indicated material does not. The false seer remains useful. The vessel remains managed. Clean pointing stays rare. A genuine pointer aims at what only the person can reach and then withdraws without claim. When the vessel cannot yet tolerate the loss of external regulation, the same pointing tends to produce conflict, rejection, or rapid return to dependence. Readiness determines whether indication can land or whether it converts into further delay. Material a person continues to refuse rarely remains private. It can appear outside as the next guide, the next lover, the next expert who will handle what still goes unexamined. People will often construct elaborate detours to avoid turning toward their own interior. Selecting a pointer who matches the current level of avoidance ranks among the more efficient of those detours. The preference for familiar containment continues to drive the selection across intimate, clinical, spiritual, and political relationships. Until that preference itself becomes visible and is no longer automatically obeyed, the field keeps supplying what the avoidance already knows how to use.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the life you worked so hard to build… has quietly become the thing keeping you from what's next?In this episode, Alex and Carol sit down with transformational speaker and business mentor Leah Notariani to explore a surprisingly sneaky form of settling.Because settling doesn't always look like failure.Sometimes it looks like success.Leah shares the moment she realized she had stopped playing to win and started playing not to lose. From the outside, everything looked great. But internally? She knew she was holding back.Your brain loves what's familiar. Even success can become a comfortable place your nervous system wants to protect.So what happens when the version of you that got you here isn't the version meant to take you there?Where have you become comfortable with something that no longer feels fully aligned?And what might change if you stopped protecting what you've built and started listening to what you actually want?Success isn't the finish line. Sometimes, it's the invitation to get honest again.

Women who have missed a cervical screening appointment in England are to be offered HPV self-testing kits by the NHS. Over the next year, nearly four million women will receive invites on the NHS App or via text message, email or letter to order a free kit to use at home. The aim is to encourage more women to complete their potentially lifesaving screening to detect HPV, which can increase the risk of cervical cancer. Figures show that around a third of women who are eligible for cervical cancer screening have not taken up the offer recently. Dr Sue Mann, National Clinical Director for Women's Health in England and a consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Health, joins Nuala McGovern to discuss.Chef Sally Abe, who owns the restaurant The Pem, and Kayla Lawrie, a producer with social media food influencers TopJaw, have launched a map of women-owned hospitality businesses.

They explain to Nuala what they hope to achieve.Around 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year, with the majority aged over 50. But around 120 of those women are between 15 and 24. Enlli Thompson was just 19 when a growth was found on one of her ovaries. Since then, she's undergone chemotherapy, egg freezing, a hysterectomy and medically induced menopause. Enlli joins Nuala, alongside GP Charlotte Badescu, who was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2021 when she was 31.Stephanie Brown from the University of Hull has spent the past year as Woman's Hour's researcher in residence on the scheme that Radio 4 runs with the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

Why Community Is the New Competitive Advantage for 7-Figure Founders feat. Jayson Gaignard In a world being transformed by AI, information is everywhere—but keeping up with the pace of change is becoming increasingly difficult. As entrepreneurs narrow their areas of expertise, the ability to surround yourself with people who have different experiences, perspectives, and knowledge is becoming more valuable than ever. In this episode of Beyond 7 Figures, Charles Gaudet sits down with longtime friend Jayson Gaignard, founder of MMT and author of Community Made, to explore why community may be one of the greatest competitive advantages for entrepreneurs in the years ahead. Jayson shares how he built MMT around intentional curation rather than scale, why the community is capped at 150 members, and how creating a space where high-achieving entrepreneurs can remove the mask and be vulnerable creates relationships that compound over time. Charles and Jayson also explore why the right peer group can accelerate your growth, why "How can I help you?" may be the wrong question to ask, and how to make the people around you genuinely feel seen. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why community is becoming more valuable in the age of AI: As technology accelerates, surrounding yourself with people who have different experiences and expertise is more valuable than ever. Why your peer group can determine your future: Jayson explains why proximity is power and why building an eight-figure company requires eight-figure relationships, teams, and systems. The difference between networking and true community: Learn why performance-based networking differs from a community where people can be vulnerable and build deeper relationships. Why curation matters more than scale: Jayson explains why MMT is capped at 150 members and how carefully selecting the right people creates a stronger community. Why who you don't let into your community may matter more than who you do: Discover why protecting a community's culture is one of a leader's most important responsibilities. How vulnerability creates deeper relationships: Learn why creating a safe environment for people to share their real struggles can lead to extraordinary connections and opportunities. Why relationships compound over time: Jayson explains how investing in relationships year after year creates deeper connections and lasting value. Why "How can I help you?" may be the wrong question: Instead of putting the responsibility on someone else, learn how to understand their challenges and proactively offer something meaningful. The six ways to invest in relationships: Jayson shares six ways to make people feel seen, including resources, gratitude, check-ins, investing in someone's inner circle, and thoughtful gifts. How to make people feel genuinely seen: Learn how listening closely, remembering what matters, and following up can transform relationships. Why community can be a competitive advantage for businesses: Discover why building communities around customers and creating meaningful in-person experiences is becoming increasingly valuable. The biggest lesson for going beyond seven figures: Jayson explains why surrounding yourself with people who are one or two steps ahead can help you reach the next level.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, in the 1970s gas prices jumped due to OPEC's boycott of the U.S. over its Israel policies. Back then people blamed the oil companies instead of OPEC. Today the same manufactured hostility targets AI data centers. Governors ban or endlessly delay them with false pollution claims once used against fracking. The real issue is electricity: decades of blue-state regulations and anti-capitalist obstruction have blocked grid upgrades. Critics now complain data centers will consume too much power yet refuse the solutions—expand the grid and let the centers build their own generation, including nuclear. Adversaries, especially China, face no such constraints and will dominate future technology, military, space, and health-care advances if America continues this economic self-sabotage. Also, the Woke Reich is essentially dead. Figures such as Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz, along with the rest of that circle are finished and exist mainly online in a toxic cesspool. The election in Florida illustrated that real, normal, patriotic Americans have no interest in the Woke Reich or its antisemitism and remain focused on patriotism. Later, Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans and spreads terrorism globally, yet this stance is treated as controversial by some, including former NSA counterintelligence officer John Schindler. Schindler's portrayal of Levin as a “super hawk” pushing total war is idiotic. Schindler an isolationist, Israel-hater, and incoherent critic who diminishes U.S. capacity for victory. Afterward, Bruce Blakeman, who is running for Governor of NY, calls in and explains that Gov Kathy Hochul is fully subservient to Zohran Mamdani—including supporting a $5 billion NYC bailout with no spending cuts.
