His work has been recognized for its clarity and unique ability to reframe success beyond hustle culture.But behind his wisdom lies a deeper truth: many of us are living out of alignment — chasing external success while ignoring intuition, mistaking discipline for force instead of devotion, and burning out in the process.In this conversation, Matt and Lance explore:Why discipline is devotion — and how to reframe your relationship with hard workThe real root of burnout and why it signals misalignment, not weaknessHow intuition acts as your soul's GPS (and why it never lies)The continuous journey of self-discovery and humilityHow to know when to push forward and when to pivotThe role of surrender in navigating uncertainty and changeWhy consistency builds capacity and unlocks true growthHow to find your unique niche by embracing the through-line of your life experiencesThe difference between forcing success and aligning with purpose

When tragedy strikes, it can leave us asking the hardest questions: Where is God? Why does He allow suffering? In this video, I share a personal story that's a huge part of my testimony. It's the anniversary of my grandmother's murder — and I share what God has taught me through it. We also touch on the recent murder of Charlie Kirk and other tragic recent events.  We'll talk about: Why bad things happen in a broken world Where God is in the midst of suffering How He brings beauty from ashes and purpose out of pain The hope we have in His promises and the comfort He offers us You'll also hear powerful scriptures that have carried me through seasons of grief, including Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 1, James 1, and Revelation 21. Even when life feels overwhelming, God is present, He intervenes, and He redeems. My prayer is that this encourages you, strengthens your faith, and reminds you of the eternal hope we have in Jesus.

Welcome to the eighth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! This week, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Carl Hillesland, Director of Retail Performance at Broad River Retail, to reflect on Christine Caine's powerful session at the Summit. Christine Caine—author, speaker, and founder of the A21 anti-human trafficking campaign—shared her personal journey of discovering her life's purpose and the critical turning point that led her to confront the realities of human trafficking. In her talk, she warned leaders about the danger of drift—the subtle but steady loss of vision and purpose that happens when we simply do nothing. Charlie and Carl explore how Christine's stories, like discovering she was adopted and later encountering the vast scope of human trafficking, illustrate the need to stay anchored to a clear why. They unpack her vivid analogy of two beach umbrellas representing boundaries that prevent us from drifting and discuss how Memory Makers can apply these ideas in their own work and lives. The conversation highlights: - How to recognize and combat “drift” in leadership and life - The importance of boundaries, vision, and purpose to stay aligned - Practical ways Memory Makers are already using Christine's message to realign with their mission - Why leaders must intentionally Re-Anchor, Rebuild, and Reignite their passion to avoid languishing or losing focus This episode is a call to action for Memory Makers to be intentional lighthouses—staying grounded, shining with purpose, and helping others navigate life's currents toward meaningful impact.

Self care and improvement is the theme of the month and today's guest is a poster child for an improved life through self-care!Facing significant obstacles from a young age, Joy Watts was living a less-than-optimal life. Difficult circumstances led to addiction, leading to poor choices, until one day divine intervention completely changed her trajectory. Commitment to faith led to sobriety, but marriage, four children, and life in general had her regularly chasing weight loss. Once introduced to strength training, another life shift was set in motion. Joy discovered that shrinking your body doesn't fix how you feel about it. This, too, changed, when she began anchoring her fitness in faith. Joy has dedicated the past 10 years helping women be strong all the days of their lives—inside and out. She is the founder of Aging With Grace Fitness and recently launched a faith-based strength training app, AWG Fitness. It is thoughtfully designed to make it simple for women to follow a program, build real strength, and honor God by being good stewards of their bodies.Joy and Michelle have a raw, vulnerable, honest conversation about the struggles and pressures women face with body image, health and juggling all of life's demands. If you need to be convinced to “self-care” or are looking for inspiration to improve your wellbeing, this episode delivers!Connect with Joy:agingwithgracefitness.comIG: @aging_withgrace_fitnessApp Store: AWG FitnessConnect with Michelle:betterbeings.netIG: @betterbeingsusYouTube: Michelle Zellner - Be A Better Being Podcast playlistGet the supplements Michelle can't stop talking about: meet.makewellness.com/?referral=E490A5C07D

THE GOOD DEATH VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR: Suzanne B. O'Brien RN in Conversation with Karen Midlo When Karen unexpectedly lost her husband, she embarked on a journey that reshaped her understanding of life and death, moving from her demanding role as an executive director in senior living during the COVID-19 pandemic to finding her true calling as a certified death doula and grief educator.

Ever feel like your brain is just too much — too chaotic, too forgetful, too overwhelming to manage? Especially when you're parenting neurodivergent kids with your own neurodivergent brain?In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Emily's podcast cohost, Ashley, shares what changed when she stopped seeing her brain as a burden and started seeing its purpose. Through real stories, emotional insight, and mindset shifts, she shows how acknowledging the hard can actually lead us to discovering the strengths in our wiring — like deep empathy, creativity, determination, and fierce advocacy.Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or love someone who is, this episode offers encouragement, validation, and a new perspective on what's possible when we embrace our brains instead of battling them.

What if the biggest summit you ever face isn't a mountain, but it's the life that unfolds when everything around you falls apart, you've hit rock bottom, and wonder if you have the strength to climb back up.My guest, Dianette Wells, has climbed Mount Everest not once, but twice. She's conquered the Seven Summits, crossed deserts on foot, raced across continents, and faced down physical extremes most of us can't imagine.  But her greatest feat?  Rebuilding a life after unimaginable personal loss of her son and finding the courage to keep going when standing still seemed easier.Today, in our gripping and deeply human conversation, Dianette will share how the same mindset that carried her up the world's tallest peaks helped her navigate the emotional terrain of heartbreak, reinvention, and healing after the tragic death of her son.Her memoir, Another Step Up the Mountain, chronicles her journey that will resonate with anyone who has ever hit rock bottom—and wondered if they had the strength to climb back up. Dianette is now on a mission, through her speaking and writing, to inspire others to chase their own “Everest”, whatever the odds.Connect with Dianette:Website: https://dianettewells.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianettewells/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DianetteWellsEnduranceAthleteLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianette-wells-32602110/CONNECT WITH DEBIDo you feel stuck?  Do you sense it's time for a change, but are unsure where to start or how to move forward? Schedule a clarity call!Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/debironca/free-clarity-callWebsite – https://www.debironca.comInstagram - @debironcaEmail – info@debironca.com Check out my online course!Your Story's Changing, Finding Purpose in Life's Transitionshttps://course.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/8-week-programThe Family Letter by Debi Ronca – International Best Sellerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSJFXBD

In this episode of Mask/Off – A Charitea Movement Podcast, host Keiara B. Gladney sits down with Jennifer Braswell, a devoted wife, loving mother, ordained minister, anointed psalmist, gifted creative, and talented nail technician.Jennifer opens up about her journey of pressing through pain and travailing with purpose. This conversation dives into the reality of enduring life's struggles while clinging to the truth that there is a greater purpose beyond the pain. Together, we explore faith, ministry, and resilience, offering encouragement to anyone who feels weary but knows God is calling them higher.If you've ever asked, “Why do I have to go through this?”, this episode will remind you that your pain is not wasted—it's producing something greater.

There are days when it feels as though the world isunraveling. Truth is questioned. Values are mocked. Evenmeaning itself seems up for debate.The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard once warned that the sickness of the soul sets in when a higher purpose is abandoned. In that empty space, something else always rushes in. This is often outrage, oversimplified narratives, and the temptation to divide the world into “us” and “them.”The sociologist James Davison Hunter describes thismoment as the rise of a new, nihilistic culture. He writes that it's defined not by what it builds, but by what it tears down. A culture driven by fear, demonization, and the will to destroy. He notes that identities are increasingly formed through opposition: I know who I am only because I knowwho my enemy is. And from that comes rage, hatred, and the thirst for revenge. In a strange, distorted way, that rage becomes a source of meaning.But is that really the only story available to us?This episode explores gratitude as a real antidote to nihilism and finding purpose by seeing the world in a different way.#spirituality #livingtobe #nihilism #PurposeDrivenLife #MoralCompass #BeyondPolitics Information:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this Inside Personal Growth conversation, Greg Voisen interviews Ben Swire, award-winning designer, co-founder of Make Believe Works, and former IDEO design lead, about his upcoming book Safe Danger: An Unexpected Method for Sparking Connection, Finding Purpose, and Inspiring Innovation (Hardcover – October 14, 2025). Swire introduces the concept of “safe danger,” a sweet spot between comfort and risk where trust, belonging, and creativity thrive.

Mark sits down with longtime educator and community pillar Steve Waisgerber for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation about teaching, history, technology, and finding purpose after retirement. They reflect on the changing nature of education, the potential of AI in the classroom, and the power of vulnerability in student learning. Steve shares lessons from decades of service as a history teacher and coach, including how trust, curiosity, and authentic relationships are at the heart of every great classroom experience. Takeaways Curiosity and enthusiasm are essential for effective learning. AI can enhance teaching but cannot replace the human element. Building relationships with students is crucial for their success. Vulnerability in students can lead to greater learning opportunities. Failure is a necessary part of growth and learning. Teachers must adapt to the changing landscape of education. The importance of emotional intelligence in education cannot be overstated. Engagement is key to effective teaching and learning. Finding purpose in teaching can lead to a fulfilling career. The future of education will be shaped by technology and human connection. American history is rich with periods of progress and change. The complexities of historical figures reflect the duality of their legacies. Debating historical perspectives fosters critical thinking. Third parties can play a crucial role in American politics. Disruption in politics may lead to necessary change. War often serves the interests of the wealthy. Music and cycling are personal passions that connect to broader themes.  Chapters 02:14 The Role of Curiosity and Enthusiasm in Education 04:50 The Impact of AI on Learning and Teaching 07:06 Navigating the Future of Education 08:52 The Importance of Vulnerability in Learning 11:03 The Teacher-Student Relationship 13:35 Embracing Failure as a Learning Tool 16:00 Finding Purpose in Teaching 18:30 The Evolution of Student Engagement 20:41 The Influence of Technology on Education 23:07 Reflections on a Teaching Career 25:33 Looking Ahead: Life After Teaching 50:56 The Greatness of Conservationism 51:55 Exploring American History 53:32 The Nation's Positive Shifts 54:01 Complexities of American Leaders 55:29 Debating Historical Perspectives 56:22 The Future of the Nation 57:43 The Role of Third Parties 59:04 Disruption in Politics 01:00:01 Defining Great American Presidents 01:01:08 Influence of Money in Politics 01:02:45 Fearless Leadership in History 01:04:28 The Need for Peace 01:05:43 War and Its Justifications 01:07:17 The Role of Wealth in War 01:08:50 America's Global Role 01:10:11 Optimism in American Exceptionalism 01:11:48 The Slippery Slope of War 01:13:02 Facilitating Peace 01:14:27 Personal Reflections on Life 01:16:05 The Joy of Cycling 01:17:49 The Power of Music 01:19:09 Deserted Island Albums 01:21:00 The Legacy of Music and History 01:22:33 Celtics and American History 01:24:02 Closing Thoughts and Reflections Affiliate Links: Unleashing the Power of Respect: The I-M Approach by Joseph Shrand, MD This episode is brought to you in part by SecuriTitle, a fractional paralegal service assisting with all things real estate in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "Ryan Valasapali's story is a fascinating one. He came to Sheffield from India to study for an MBA — and when he arrived, the whole city was covered in snow. He'd never seen snow before, and it was quite a shock! Just three months into his new life in Sheffield, his dad — who had been helping support him financially — told him over the phone, ‘That's it, son. No more money. You're on your own now.' So Ryan went out to find work, and that's how he ended up joining Home Fundraising. His first week was tough, and he was ready to quit. In fact, he was on his last door of the day, planning to hand in his kit after that… but that final door completely changed everything for him. Seventeen years later, Ryan is back in India, living in Bangalore, working as a director at one of the country's major fundraising agencies. I really enjoyed hearing his story — how that one pivotal moment shaped his whole career — and I think you will too."

My guest today is Mark Bertolini. Mark is the former CEO of Aetna and the current CEO of Oscar Health. He shares one of the most extraordinary leadership stories I've encountered—surviving a catastrophic skiing accident that left him in chronic pain for 18 years while simultaneously leading one of healthcare's most successful corporate turnarounds. His personal experience navigating his son's life-threatening cancer battle and his own medical challenges fundamentally changed his approach to healthcare, leading to innovations in employee welfare that Wall Street initially questioned but ultimately celebrated. During his tenure at Aetna, Mark generated 652% total shareholder return by implementing revolutionary employee policies and is now applying these lessons at Oscar Health to disrupt the $4 trillion healthcare industry with a technology-first approach. We discuss the power of servant leadership, employer-sponsored insurance vs individual choice-based plans, and the horizons of healthcare. Please enjoy this incredible conversation with Mark Bertolini.
