Is "Fully Booked" Really the Goal?Being fully booked feels like success. And in many ways, it is. But if you are the only one delivering your service, every dollar you make still requires your direct time and energy.That's not a business. That's a job you created for yourself.In this Maggie's Moment, I'm challenging one of the most common — and costly — mindsets I see in service-based business owners: the belief that fully booked is as far as they can go.In This Maggie's Moment:Why being fully booked is a milestone, not a destinationThe real opportunity that owning a business gives you — and why so many people never tap into itThe limiting beliefs that keep talented, successful business owners stuck at their income ceilingA real client story that shows how a path to scaling always exists — even when it seems impossibleWhy not exploring how to scale isn't playing it safe. It's leaving wealth on the table.This One Is For You If...You're at or near fully booked and not sure what comes nextYou've told yourself your business "can't be scaled"The idea of building a team or changing how you operate feels overwhelmingYou haven't yet allowed yourself to ask — but what if I could?Connect with Maggie: https://stairwaytoleadership.com

Abia Mallick never planned to run a marathon herself until she volunteered at the finish zone of the New York City Marathon, where a woman stopped by the fence near her to catch her breath and ended up sharing her story, a story that stuck with Abia so much she threw her own name into the marathon lottery, assuming she'd never get in.But spoiler alert: she did. Her training tested her more than she expected: her body kept finding new things to ache, and she leaned hard on her physical therapist and her community to get through it. Race day brought its own complications, and by the time she reached mile 26, what carried her through was the community of people that she's built around her. Follow along with Abia on Instagram: @abiamallickFollow along with the show:

In this episode of The Derivative, host Jeff Malec welcomes back Standpoint Asset Management founder and CIO Eric Crittenden for his third appearance, diving into what's happened since Standpoint launched in 2019 and why their approach has remained unchanged. Eric explains why he resists the industry's obsession with “constant innovation,” favoring disciplined stability in his trend-following and multi-asset process, and how the past six years, from COVID to fast crashes and energy shocks, have stress-tested both his risk management and investor behavior.Jeff and Eric dig into the “abandonment problem” in advisor portfolios: why investors love managed futures when they're hot but struggle to stick with them, and how combining global equity beta with trend-following in one vehicle can make diversification more holdable. Eric outlines three simple metrics advisors say they want, beat a 60/40, lower volatility, and low equity beta, and reveals how few of the 11,000+ funds available at launch delivered on that promise.The conversation also covers replication, capacity and market selection, correlation myths, and why Eric prefers trend plus cap-weighted equities over bonds for long-term compounding. They close with thoughts on AI, product structures, and how categorization and reporting frameworks can work against good investor outcomes.Chapters:00:00-01:12=Intro01:13-11:41=Stable Strategy in a Chaotic Market: Standpoint's Six-Year Stress Test11:42–17:33 = Replicators vs Originals: The Trade‑Offs of Cloning Managed Futures17:34–31:13 = When Trend and Stocks Both Hurt: Correlation, Drawdowns, and Knowing When It's Broken31:13–49:46 = Beating 60/40 and the Bucket Problem: Why True Diversifiers Are So Rare49:47–57:34 = Buckets, Burritos, and the Sausage Problem: Making Diversification Holdable57:35–01:06:41 = Where Standpoint Fits: Liquid Alts, Multi-Asset Overlay, and Rethinking BondsFrom the episode:Liquid Alternatives - RCM AlternativesPrevious episodes with StandpointBLNDX[ing] Trend Following and Global Equity with Standpoint's Eric Crittenden on The DerivativeTrends, Inflation Protection, & Getting Investors to the Finish Line with Eric Crittenden of StandpointDon't forget to subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Derivative⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, follow us on Twitter at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rcmAlts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sign-up for our blog digest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

A Tufts medical student saw a fellow runner go down after a race. What she did next helped save his life.

875 · The runDisney Companion: Your Race Day Guide from Fantasy to Finish LineBefore sunrise at Walt Disney World, thousands of people round the bend toward Cinderella Castle and fall in love with running in a way most guests never will. That is runDisney - and whether you are eyeing your very first 5K or chasing your next Dopey, there has never been one book to take you from registration to the finish line. Until now.In WDW Radio #875, Lou Mongello sits down with Lisa DiNoto Glassner, founder of The Castle Run, to talk about her brand new book, The runDisney Companion: Your Race Day Guide from Fantasy to Finish Line and Beyond. It is the guide so many runners wished they had - part race day handbook, part love letter to the runDisney community, and part a collection of hard-won lessons that reach far beyond the finish line.Lou and Lisa get into everything that makes a runDisney race work, from the 5K and 10K to the Princess Half Marathon and the full Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. They cover how to survive registration morning, why entering through a charity can be the smartest move, how to start training from scratch, how doable a 5K really is, the one mistake nearly every new runner makes, and why getting to the start line is harder than getting to the finish line. Plus the dozen life lessons at the heart of the book, why the community cheers louder for the last finisher than the first, and Lisa's simple challenge to anyone still on the fence - if you love Disney, you owe it to yourself to do a 5K.There is a powerful personal story behind the book too, one of grief, running as healing, and the courage to walk away from one life to begin another. But at its core, as Lisa says, it is not about running at all. It is about the courage to step up to the starting line, before you know how the story ends.

Mark Wambolt serves as Head of Strategic Partnerships at Eventide, but his journey into faith driven investing began long before his career in finance. Growing up outside Boston, Mark learned the value of hard work alongside his father, a carpenter, while also developing an early fascination with business and investing. As he advanced quickly through the financial industry, achieving levels of success many aspire to, he began wrestling with a deeper question: if following Jesus shapes every part of life, should it also shape the way we invest and steward capital? In this conversation, Mark shares how God used key relationships and pivotal experiences to reshape his understanding of investing as an act of stewardship. He explains how Eventide seeks to help investors move beyond simply avoiding harmful industries toward actively supporting businesses that create genuine human flourishing. Through stories of innovation, entrepreneurship, and long-term Kingdom impact, Mark offers a compelling vision for how capital can be deployed to serve people, strengthen communities, and reflect God's heart for creation. He also challenges common assumptions about success, profit, and control, inviting a more integrated approach to faith and finance. Listen to explore how your investments may become a powerful tool for shaping future generations with intentionality and hope. Major Topics Include: Integrating faith and investing decisions Viewing capital as Kingdom stewardship Redefining success beyond financial gain Avoiding ill-gotten gain in portfolios Investing for human flourishing Embracing businesses that serve people Engaging companies through shareholder influence Balancing giving, impact investing, and returns Supporting community renewal through entrepreneurship Thinking generationally about wealth and influence QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I thought, you know, there's this business investing world, that's my job. And then there's my faith, that's the other side. I kind of had this feeling that never the two shall meet. At that moment, they just collided in the best possible way.” “Yes, we care about what we avoid. But almost more importantly, the avoidance is a step on the journey toward what do we want to own?” “The opportunity that we have as investors is to not just steward capital, but to direct it intentionally.” “There's a reason that what a business creates is called goods and services, because they should be good and they should serve.” “God is a creator. And then he makes man in his image. I believe that reflection is that we too should be creators who make good things.” “When mammon has become the god, it's no longer about goods and services. It's about what can I do operationally to generate the highest return?” “We love business. We just want to make sure it's aimed at goods that are truly good and services that truly serve.” “You can just go through example after example for all of history, even up to the present day, that investors have for hundreds of years shaped the culture that we live in.” “I think that people are waking up to the idea of stewardship.” “Making intentional investment decisions is becoming core to how I serve my clients well.” “What are the investments I can make today that maybe won't pay any dividend for me, but for the next generation and the generation after that, I will be so glad to have made the sacrifice in my life?” “I think there's an incredible opportunity for Christians to pause, think multi-generationally.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Eventide Investments Kingdom Advisors (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) Why Business Matters to God by Jeff Van Duzer Parker Clay BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Genesis 1:1 | God the Creator “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:27 | Made in God's Image “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”   This communication is provided for informational purposes only and expresses views of Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”), an investment adviser, and Mark Wambot, Head of Strategic Partnerships.

There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses. TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.   But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity. Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step.

Fresh off the finish line, they chat about how the race unfolded, why the 10K might just be one of the toughest distances to race, and debate whether they'd rather tackle a 5K, half marathon or even another marathon.

Your Story, Your Why: Reclaiming the Finish Line with Camila CanaveseFor this week's episode of Your Story,Your Why, I sat down with an incredible member of our running community,Camila Canavese. Camila was just three blocks away from the finishline when the bombs went off in 2013, causing severe trauma that kept her awayfor a decade. It took her father holding her hand in 2023 to bring herback—sparking a promise that she would return to distance training.Tragically,just weeks after that beautiful moment, her father passed away from a suddenheart attack.Camila'sstory isn't just about surviving trauma or navigating a devastating loss; it'sa masterclass in how the simple act of putting one foot in front of the othercan give us a space to carry our heaviest grief. She dropped a line during our chat that I haven'tbeen able to stop thinking about: "If I wait to heal from this pain until I go back torunning, that will never happen."

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Uncertainty Edge, host Sam Sivarajan sits down with Jeff Panik, founder of Balance Wealth Partners and a financial advisor with nearly 26 years of experience. A first-generation college graduate who enlisted in the U.S. Army to pay off student loans, Jeff has built his career around filling the financial education gap that leaves so many young adults — and pre-retirees — to figure it out alone. From the dangers of buy now pay later to the hidden complexity of retirement planning, this episode is packed with practical, jargon-free guidance for advisors and clients alike. Key Quote“Perfect is the enemy of great — especially when it comes to taking action with your finances.” — Jeff Panik Key Takeaways•       Financial literacy is still a crisis — lobbying from credit and lending industries actively works against educating young consumers, leaving them vulnerable before the race even starts.•       Ask three questions before any purchase: Do I really need this? What will it truly cost me? How long will I be paying for it?•       Procrastination is the enemy. Taking imperfect action — even saving $25 a month — compounds into financial resilience over time.•       Retirement planning is a two-year process, not a weekend project. The financial puzzle is unique to every individual; stop copying what your neighbour is doing. Sound Bites•       “If someone says something is perfect, you probably want to run from it.”•       “Financial fog causes people to freeze — and freezing is often the worst decision of all.”•       “Run your own race. You don't have their training, their fitness, or their starting line.”•       “You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't have your health and your mind, the money doesn't matter much.” Topics Discussed00:02 — Introduction: Jeff's Journey from Student Debt to Financial Advisor05:03 — The Financial Literacy Crisis & Why the System Isn't Helping10:45 — Buy Now Pay Later, Influencers & the Clickbait Economy15:47 — Standing at the Starting Line: Critical Early Financial Decisions27:08 — The Pre-Retirement Puzzle: Planning the Transition Right37:41 — The Future of Financial Advising & the Great Wealth Transfer Resources MentionedLearn more about Jeff Panik and Balance Wealth Partners:jeffreypanik.com Stay Connected with The Uncertainty E.D.G.E.•       Join the conversation on LinkedIn — share your thoughts and connect with other forward-thinking leaders.•       Explore more insights on Sam's website.•       Check out Sam's Two Free Substack newsletters: theuncertaintyedge.com and thegoodhumanpractice.com

A chaotic family card game once felt embarrassing enough to quit after one round.   Staying at the table anyway, with no goal of becoming the best, eventually turned frustration into fun.   The same pattern shows up with almost any goal, where picturing mastery feels so intimidating that people quit before starting.   Getting good enough to enjoy something matters more than mastering it.   Sticking around long enough to get decent is often the only requirement that matters.

Nach der Challenge Roth ziehen Nick und Nils eine ehrliche Bilanz: Aus lockerem Training ohne Zeitdruck wurde in den letzten Wochen doch wieder ein Alltag, der sich um Einheiten, Heat-Training, Ernährung und Regeneration drehte. Die große Frage: Kann eine Langdistanz überhaupt ein Hobby bleiben – oder übernimmt sie zwangsläufig das ganze Leben?Außerdem sprechen die beiden über Perfektionismus und Trainings-Gamification, die Balance zwischen Sport, Familie und Beruf sowie den berüchtigten Ironman Blues nach dem großen Rennen. Warum weniger Training nicht automatisch Formverlust bedeutet, weshalb neue Ziele und lockere Bewegung helfen können – und warum eine Halbdistanz manchmal einfach die bessere Idee ist. Zum Abschluss gibt's die Race-Prediction für den Ironman Lake Placid und die Frage, wie realistisch Freds nächster Schritt in Richtung Kona ist. Werbung: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PUSHING LIMITS CLUB⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deine All-in-One Trainingsapp für Triathlon, Radfahren und mehr!

“If you do nothing, you will get nothing.” Former IndyCar champion Sam Schmidt joins host Alycia Anderson for a powerful conversation about spinal cord injury recovery, quadriplegia, adaptive technology, disability advocacy, neurorehabilitation, resilience, and life after paralysis. After a 180-mile-per-hour crash changed his life in an instant, Sam transformed an unimaginable diagnosis into a mission rooted in recovery, innovation, and purpose. “If you don't try, you won't know.” Sam shares how he went from winning his first IndyCar race in 1999 to surviving a devastating high-level spinal cord injury and waking up dependent on a ventilator. When doctors predicted a short life in a nursing home, his family refused to accept that prognosis. Their relentless advocacy connected Sam with intensive spinal cord injury rehabilitation that helped him breathe independently, rebuild his health, and begin creating a future with no finish line. Two important themes emerge from Sam's story: never accept one person's prognosis as the final answer, and learn how to advocate for the rehabilitation, equipment, and healthcare support you need. Sam and Alycia explore the realities of insurance advocacy, accessible healthcare, caregiver support, mental health, aging with disability, and long-term spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Sam explains how he negotiated for the equipment, therapy, and resources that supported his independence while challenging a healthcare system that too often limits recovery before it has truly begun. “Racing is my passion. DRIVEN Neuro is my purpose.” The conversation also explores Sam's memoir, No Finish Line: A Racer's Journey of Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose, his championship-winning racing career, and the growth of DRIVEN Neuro, a nonprofit expanding access to activity-based neurorecovery, adaptive fitness, neurological rehabilitation, wellness programs, and disability community support for people living with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions. Sam's story is more than a comeback. It is a call to action about self-advocacy, perseverance, accessible innovation, teamwork, and finding purpose after a life-changing injury. As Sam reminds us, progress may look different for every person, but possibility begins when we choose to take action. Racing, Recovery, Advocacy, and Purpose: The Big Takeaways from Sam Schmidt

Send us Fan MailStage 11 of the Tour de France felt less like a “flat day” and more like a high-speed science experiment that got loose. We start in Vichy and finish in Nevers, then watch the whole race tip into history as the peloton clocks the fastest road stage the Tour has ever seen. With a strong tailwind and a relentless pace, the stage averages a staggering 31.6 mph, and suddenly every small detail matters: positioning, leadouts, timing, and which teams are willing to burn matches to control the finale. The story we can't stop talking about is the winner: a rider who's dead last the day before after a crash and a hand injury, then shows up the next morning and pulls off a shock Tour de France stage win. We break down how the breakaway animated the day, why it still got reeled in with about six kilometers left, and how the finish turned into pure “chaos in motion.” We also unpack the Jasper Philipsen ruling that flips from relegation to reinstatement, and what that says about sprint interference, safety, and how messy the last 200 meters can get. From there, we zoom out to the classifications and the numbers that actually shape the race: yellow jersey control, Mads Pedersen's green jersey momentum via intermediate sprints, and the polka dot and white jersey gaps that are technically doable but brutally hard without a bad day from the leaders. We also talk GC time gaps, team points, and the reality that once you're five to six minutes down, you're usually betting on chaos, not form.

Rachel McDonough grew up in Kenya as the daughter of missionaries, where she saw both deep poverty and the faith of parents who trusted God enough to follow His call across the world. Those early experiences planted a lasting conviction that every resource we hold belongs to God and can be used to bring life, freedom, and hope to others. After nearly two decades in wealth management, Rachel began asking a deeper question: what story is our capital telling? In this conversation, Rachel shares how God led her to build Wealth Squared, a firm that helps families align their investments, giving, and financial plans with biblical values. She explains how impact investing can direct capital toward businesses that promote human flourishing, and discusses themes from her new book, The River and the Garden, which uses story to explore stewardship, family unity, and Kingdom impact. This episode offers a hopeful vision for using wealth as a tool to cultivate lasting fruit for God's Kingdom, and invites you to consider where He may be calling your resources to grow. Major Topics Include: Hearing and following God's call Stewarding wealth as entrusted capital Investing as a moral and spiritual act Aligning portfolios with biblical values Distinguishing provision from impact assets Discovering your unique Kingdom DNA Using impact investing for human flourishing Building family unity around stewardship Integrating head, heart, and Spirit Finishing faithfully with resources God provides QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Capital tells a story.” “Even though I'm a small human with finite resources and a limited lifespan and limited dollars in the bank account, God can take something small, and if it's surrendered to Him, He can do something way bigger than any of us could ever ask or imagine.” “There is both an opportunity and a responsibility of being a Christ follower who is holding on to the resources that God owns and has entrusted.” “Some businesses create goods and services that help human flourishing, and others create bads and disservices.” “Fruitfulness comes from obeying what God shows you to do, not from having the right strategy.” “There are some biblical principles that are universally true, but there are also unique pieces of Kingdom DNA wired into the heart of each person.” “Once I know how much is enough for provision, I get freedom to ask what the purpose of the remaining assets should be.” “The faithful finisher asks, ‘Lord, what else? I'm not dead yet.'” “We need to let our heads and hearts work together more in harmony and be led by the Spirit.” “Real unity is hard work, but it is deep and worthy work.” “I want to be Jonathan's armor bearer for my clients. What's in your heart to do? Let's go take that hill.” “Faith-driven investing and impact investing right now is the revival that God has released on the earth.” “Find a financial advisor who wants to help you hear and follow God's voice.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Rachel McDonough and Wes Lyons on How Investors Are Taking Down Human Trafficking (see our past interview here) The River and the Garden by Rachel McDonough Wealth Squared Kingdom Advisors (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) Eagle Freedom Fund (see out interview with cofounder Wes Lyons) Talanton Caleb Breakey, Founder of Renown Publishing (see our past interview here) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW John 15:5 | Abiding Bears Fruit “I am the vine; you are the branches.

Every person with Type 1 diabetes has a date that changed their life forever. Ken and Graham get into whether we should celebrate it, fear it, or somewhere in between — and what your answer says about your relationship with this condition.It started with a simple question — do you know your diaversary?For Ken it's sometime in late June. For Graham it's around February 15th, the same month his family company was founded and named after him. But beyond the dates themselves, the question opened up one of the most honest conversations Ken and Graham have had about what it actually means to live with Type 1 diabetes for decades.Should we celebrate our diaversaries? Is it healthy to mark the day your life changed forever — or does it keep us tethered to a moment that's better left behind? Ken and Graham explore both sides of that coin and land somewhere that will resonate with anyone who has spent years navigating the emotional complexity of this condition.From there the conversation moves into one of the biggest questions in the Type 1 community — will there ever be a cure? Ken shares his honest perspective on what focusing on a cure does to your mental state, why he chooses to live in the present rather than wait for a finish line that may or may not come, and why that mindset shift is one of the most powerful things a person with diabetes can make.This one is equal parts honest, emotional, and grounding. It's exactly what the diabetes community needs to hear.

If you've ever thought your goal was to stay in a calorie deficit for as long as possible, this episode is for you.In the last episode, we talked about calorie deficits: what they are, how they work, and why they're necessary for fat loss. But what most people never learn is what comes after the deficit.The truth is, a calorie deficit is just one phase of your fitness journey…not your forever plan.In this episode, we're talking about why maintenance calories are a great tool for long-term success, when a building phase actually makes sense, and why cycling through different phases is how you create lasting body recomposition instead of staying stuck in an endless diet.A calorie deficit is a tool, not a destination. The goal isn't to spend your life eating less. The goal is to understand when to diet, when to maintain, and when to build so you can create a stronger, healthier body that lasts for years.In this episode, we cover:Why a calorie deficit should be viewed as a season, not a lifestyleHow to know when it's time to come out of a deficitWhy maintenance calories are not the same as "giving up"What a building phase actually is (and why it doesn't mean "getting bulky")Why building muscle now can make future fat-loss phases more successfulThe different phases of fat loss and body recompositionWhy fitness is a cycle, not one long dietLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

My regular routine doesn't allow me as much time for exercise as I'd like. In the past, when I had a few days away and my schedule permitted, I would enjoy doing some biking or hiking, or running. Of course, my body always told me that I hadn't been doing it enough. I ended up hurting in places I didn't even know I had places! But it's good to get some extra exercise when you can. One of those times, my wife and I were away, and I had a chance to do some jogging on the beach at sunrise. I was chugging along trying to cover those last few hundred yards, which seemed like the longest and pounding back down the beach all tired and sweaty and disgusting. My muscles were saying, “Stop this, will you!” And then I saw my wife in the distance. Well, that was a great motivation to finish, and to finish strong. So I kind of picked up the pace a little bit, and had almost reached her when I saw what she had written in huge letters in the sand, “I love you, Ron.” Oh boy, there it was! What a happy ending to my run…or for any man on any day. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “The ‘I Love You' At the Finish Line.” Our word for today from the Word of God is about "wife-ing" actually, and it's in Titus 2:4-5. It's actually instructions to the older women in the church as to what they should, from their well of experience, train the younger women to be like. He says, “Then they can train the younger women…” First and foremost notice now, “…to love their husbands and children. To be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands so that no one will malign the Word of God.” Actually, this passage is referring to two generations of loving wives, because obviously the older women had to do it in order to be able to teach it to the younger women. So, in both generations, the very first word to the women is, “Love your husband.” Proverbs 31, that great description of the woman every godly woman wants to be, the Proverbs 31 Woman, well here's what it says about her in verse 12. “She brings her husband good, not harm, all the days of her life.” Notice, each 24-hour period. In other words, she brings daily goodies into his life. Now, there's that picture of me running on the beach, coming toward the finish line, tired, feeling like quitting. And suddenly I see these words, “I love you, Ron.” It gave me incentive to cross the finish line. I'll tell you, that's a picture of many days in the life of a man close to you - a husband, a son, a brother. He comes home tired from today's run. Few things mean more to a man than to know that he will find an “I love you” at the finish line. I think a man can handle almost anything if he's sure that he will be safe and appreciated and loved when he gets home. You know, “All's well that ends well.” Lots of pressure, lots of stress, but I can handle it if I know there's going to be security at the finish line. There are a lot of ways to say it to him. First, just verbally express it. Don't just say, “I love you until further notice.” No, tell him often. Touch him affectionately. Provide peace in the house as much as possible when he arrives home; maybe that special meal or special card or special note. Now, it's hard, because you've had a long run too. But God will give you strength to put your husband first when you feel like being first yourself. By the way, what a tremendous surprise it is if that wife is greeted by a man who's more concerned about her needs than his own. If you're a woman, say “I love you” in his language; not just on Valentine's Day or anniversary, but remember “I love you” never means more than after that finish line that he crosses after a long day's run.

What becomes possible when you build enough financial stability in your practice to support the life you actually want?In this “Best Of” episode, Linzy revisits her conversation with Jelisha Gatling — a therapist, Money Skills for Therapists graduate, and former MSFT coach — about what it can look like to move from financial stability into a deeper sense of freedom.

John Mark Eager serves as Executive Director of The Mailbox Club, a ministry founded by his father to help children grow in their understanding of the gospel through long-term discipleship. Although John Mark trusted Christ as a child, a season of spiritual renewal during his school years deepened his walk with the Lord and gave him a lasting burden for missions. Over the past several decades, God has used that calling to expand The Mailbox Club far beyond its original model, opening doors to partner with churches and local Believers around the world. In this conversation, John Mark shares how God has grown the ministry from reaching millions of children to discipling more than 17 million annually across 110 countries, while keeping the focus on evangelism, discipleship, and stewardship. He discusses the importance of empowering indigenous leaders, investing in young people who are discipling the next generation, and refusing to limit what God can do through ordinary Believers. Along the way, he offers practical wisdom on leadership, generosity, and trusting God to provide for opportunities that seem far beyond human capacity. Listen to discover how God is using children, youth, and local churches to advance the gospel in some of the world's most strategic and least reached places. Major Topics Include: Embracing a child-focused Great Commission Pairing evangelism with long-term discipleship Empowering indigenous leaders for Kingdom growth Releasing authority and trusting capable teams Refusing to limit what God can do Balancing data-driven stewardship with Spirit-led dependence Developing youth leaders through active ministry Building scalable systems without losing mission focus Prioritizing unreached children and frontier regions Involving families and children in ministry exposure QUOTES TO REMEMBER “The most unreached people group is children.” “We celebrate what God's done in the past, but we're forward thinking and we push ourselves and each other.” “Children make great missionaries. Children are the most responsive to the gospel.” “We really can't have a conversation about world evangelization without talking about children.” “I think we can track numbers and pursue excellence in stewardship and be led by the Holy Spirit. I don't think those are competing ideas.” “The Mailbox Club is just a vehicle for the gospel.” “I think we're supposed to reach kids. I think we're supposed to reach kids anywhere and everywhere for Christ.” “I'm ultimately serving Christ. And that's the highest honor we can have, to be a bondservant of Jesus Christ.” “God delights in impossibilities.” “I do believe in simple faith that God isn't bringing these opportunities just to frustrate us.” “My job is just to advocate on behalf of kids.” “We're stewards of everything we have to reach the world for Christ.” “If He can use me, He can use anybody.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW John Mark Eager, Executive Director of The Mailbox Club (see our past interview here) Child Evangelism Fellowship Operation Christmas Child, the shoebox ministry of The Samaritan's Purse ROI Ministry (see our interview with founder, Tim Barker) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Psalm 71:15-16 | God's Boundless Salvation “My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.” Matthew 28: 16-20 | The Great Commission Matthew 9:36-38 | The Laborers Are Few “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'”  Matthew 19:14 | Jesus Loves the Little Children “But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'” John 14:12-14 | Greater Works  “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me[a]anything in my name, I will do it. Acts 2:41 | Three Thousand Added “So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” 1 Corinthians 9:22 | All Things to All People “I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.” 1 Corinthians 15:31 | I Die Every Day “I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!” TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.   But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity.

Most men carry a wound they rarely talk about—and it often begins with their relationship with their father. Whether your dad was absent, emotionally unavailable, overly critical, or simply unable to give you what you needed, that experience can quietly shape your identity, relationships, ambition, anger, and even the way you parent your own children. In this episode, Ryan shares his own story of growing up without a present father and explores how the "father wound" influences countless men long into adulthood. More importantly, he explains why understanding the wound isn't about making excuses—it's about taking responsibility, breaking generational cycles, and becoming the man your children need. If you've ever found yourself chasing approval, struggling to feel "enough," or determined not to repeat your father's mistakes, this conversation is for you.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 The Father Wound Most Men Never Discuss 02:36 Growing Up Without a Present Father 04:52 The Hidden Cost of Father Absence 06:40 What the Father Wound Really Is 08:54 How the Wound Shows Up in Adult Men 13:21 Understanding Isn't the Same as Blaming 14:45 Grieve It—Don't Bury It 15:52 Becoming Your Own Father 18:43 Stop Waiting for His Approval 21:02 Breaking the Generational Cycle 22:30 Forgiveness Is Not the Finish Line 24:41 Build Your Band of Brothers (Iron Council) 26:06 Final Thoughts   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

A lifelong Georgia football fan, Kane shares stories about his friendships with some of the biggest names in sports, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, offering a glimpse into the relationships he's built far beyond the music world.
