Ashley Ching is the founder and CEO of InHaven, a company standardizing vacation rentals with hotel-grade essentials and service. After 13 years at Tiffany & Co., she saw how consistent standards create unforgettable experiences and brought that rigor to short-term rentals. Susan and Ashley talk about standards, scale, and service. What You'll Learn About: • How a free research study can turbocharge credibility, conferences, and customers • What Tiffany's playbook taught Ashley about pairing consistency with authenticity • How Westin's Heavenly Bed reset guest expectations across an entire industry • The five pillars great operators share—and the warning signs when each starts wobbling • How grouping by shared demand drivers sharpens ops and marketing • Why too many owners tank speed, focus, and sanity • Why empowered on-the-ground pros outdeliver policy-bound HQs • How hospitality hits dis-economies of scale and where the hidden labor costs lurk • How a new vacation-rental quality framework helps guests know what they're booking Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Consistency + Authenticity = Guest Trust Ashley draws on her Tiffany & Co. background to show that hospitality success hinges on balancing certainty (clear, dependable standards) with authenticity (local character and uniqueness). Just as Westin's Heavenly Bed redefined consistency in hotels, In Haven is working to create a reliability framework for vacation rentals so guests know what to expect without losing the charm of individual homes. 2. The Five Pillars of Successful Hospitality Management From her case study of Vacasa, Aimbridge, and decades of roll-ups before them, Ashley identified five pillars that predict whether management companies succeed or fail: Curated portfolio (avoiding too many "bad apples"), Properties grouped by similar demand drivers, Limited number of owners, Local-oriented operations, Empowered hospitality professionals. When these pillars erode—especially through over-centralization or owner overload—companies face churn, brain drain, and eventual collapse. 3. Bigger Isn't Always Better: Diseconomies of Scale in Hospitality Contrary to the industry's obsession with scale, Ashley's research shows that large property managers often face rising costs rather than savings. Unlike manufacturing, where size brings efficiency, hospitality is labor-intensive and complexity grows with scale. More units mean more staff layers, owner demands, and overhead—leading to diseconomies of scale instead of the promised efficiencies.

Many retirees struggle with a loss of purpose and identity. The five pillars of a thriving retirement are purpose, identity, relationships, structure, and well-being. Money provides the freedom to pursue interests and purpose. Retirement often brings major shifts in identity and relationships. Building new social connections is essential for fulfillment.

Most importantly, I explain how living in alignment with the Five Pillars of Diabetes Success—mental health, strategic dosing, consistency & routines, nutrition, and physical well-being—creates long-term stability and reduces the burden of diabetes burnout.This episode is packed with practical insights and encouragement for anyone striving to feel more confident and in control of their diabetes.

"Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours." - 1 Chronicles 29:11If God owns it all, what does that mean for the way we manage money? Brian Holtz is here to unpack the Five Pillars of Financial Discipleship—principles that, when embraced by families, bring freedom and joy to their finances.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.More Than Money ManagementWhen it comes to managing money as followers of Christ, the Bible calls us to more than financial freedom or peace of mind. It calls us to financial discipleship—a life of stewardship, surrender, and multiplication for God's Kingdom. Here are five key pillars that shape this journey.Pillar One: OwnershipEverything begins with recognizing who truly owns it all. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 24:1, Haggai 2:8, and 1 Chronicles 29:11 that God is the Creator and ultimate Owner of everything. Our role is not ownership but stewardship. This mindset shift—from “mine” to “His”—brings both relief and challenge. It's freeing to know the responsibility doesn't all rest on us, but humbling to realize our lives and resources are not ultimately ours to control.Pillar Two: SurrenderAcknowledging God's ownership requires surrender. Luke 14:33 makes this clear: discipleship means yielding everything back to God, not just intellectually but in our hearts. This surrender extends beyond giving—it includes how we spend, save, and plan. Trusting God's plan over our own is an act of daily obedience.Pillar Three: ChoiceIn Matthew 6:24, Jesus tells us we cannot serve both God and money. Every financial decision—whether saving, giving, or spending—reveals who we serve. Choosing God requires aligning daily habits with His Word, even when it feels counterintuitive. As Isaiah reminds us, God's ways are higher and better than ours.Pillar Four: MultiplicationDiscipleship is never meant to stop with us. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus calls us to multiply what He has entrusted to us. This means sharing what we've learned and inviting others into the journey. Financial discipleship involves helping others apply biblical wisdom so that God's Kingdom continues to grow.Pillar Five: Eternal FocusFinally, discipleship means setting our eyes on eternity. Jesus said in Matthew 6:19–21 to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth. But these treasures aren't material—they're about our relationship with Christ. Living with an eternal focus keeps us from being distracted by temporary wealth and anchors our hope in Him alone.How Financial Discipleship DiffersIt's easy to confuse financial discipleship with financial stewardship or freedom. Stewardship may stop at wise resource management, but discipleship goes further—it's about helping others learn, apply, and multiply biblical truth for God's glory. True discipleship always leads to transformation, both personally and in community.Compass Financial Ministry exists to equip believers to live this way. Through resources, training, and community, they help people break free from the love of money and serve God more fully. Financial discipleship is really about helping others learn, apply, and multiply everything for God's glory, rather than for our own. To learn more, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm about to receive money from a relative's trust and want to place it in a high-yield money market account. How can I find a reputable option, especially since I don't recognize many of the online banks?I'm 47 and just starting my career after years as a stay-at-home mom.

Most people retire with a solid income plan but no plan for a life they actually want to live. In this episode, I discuss the five human pillars that make retirement feel meaningful, not just financially viable: Purpose, Identity, Relationships, Structure, and Well-being. Expect punchy stories, research-backed insights, and practical prompts to start building a life worth funding. What you'll learn Why money ≠ meaning in retirement, and how outcomes beat incomes. The Five Pillars framework (Purpose, Identity, Relationships, Structure, Well-being) and how each one stabilises your next chapter. The hidden risk of identity loss after the job title disappears, and two better questions to ask yourself now. Why too much unstructured time can feel like freedom that turns to fog, and simple ways to add rhythm without losing flexibility. The science bits (in plain English): Only 27% of retirees report feeling very fulfilled day-to-day (Stanford Center on Longevity). A strong sense of purpose links to a 15% lower risk of death (JAMA Psychiatry). The Harvard Adult Development Study shows close relationships are the biggest predictor of long-term happiness. 1 in 4 experience mild to moderate depression post-retirement—often due to lost meaning, routine, and social contact (NHS). Challenge of the Week Score yourself 1–10 on each pillar: Purpose, Identity, Relationships, Structure, Well-being. Pick the lowest score and do one tiny action this week to move it up by one point (e.g., book coffee with a friend, start a 15-minute morning walk, schedule a creative hour, message someone to mentor). Small moves → big momentum.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Super Bowl Champion Heath Evans and his wife Chrissy, a powerhouse couple raising six kids—four of them adopted siblings—and leading with faith, love, and intentionality. Beyond the NFL career and business ventures, their mission is about adoption, marriage, and creating a Christ-centered home where safety, strength, and sacrificial love are at the core.   We dive deep into adoption, marriage dynamics, leadership in the home, and the foundation of their health and fitness business, Built Ready. From why safety is the #1 need of every woman to the five pillars of a man's health (holiness, hydration, rest, workouts, and nutrition), this conversation challenges cultural norms and inspires fathers to lead with faith, humility, and strength.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge and today's guests: Heath and Chrissy Evans [1:48] - Heath's NFL career and transition to family and faith [2:13] - Raising six kids, including four adopted siblings [6:00] - Their calling to adoption and the heart behind Bethesda Ranch [7:30] - The struggles of sibling adoption and God's faithfulness in their journey [9:00] - The fatherless crisis and why the church must step up [11:00] - Fatherless home statistics and their generational impact [12:12] - Why a great dad is usually also a great husband [13:28] - Prioritizing marriage first to create security for kids [14:07] - Modeling unity in front of children and avoiding division [15:52] - Why parenting flows from the strength of your marriage [16:44] - Larry's son joins the conversation and a powerful NFL-to-dad lesson [19:00] - Talking faith and fears with kids—real conversations that matter [22:00] - Teaching kids reverence and the holiness of God [24:11] - Why Scripture, not worldly wisdom, is the anchor for parenting [25:24] - Chrissy shares what it feels like to be married to a man deeply rooted in Christ [26:15] - Safety as a wife's greatest need: emotional, spiritual, financial, and relational [29:00] - Respect, appreciation, affection for men vs. being seen, heard, and safe for women [31:15] - The power of forgiveness and humility in marriage [32:07] - Why true security comes from Christ, not success or performance [36:11] - Chrissy's reflections on submission, teamwork, and balance in marriage [40:20] - Heath's analogy of submarine leadership and servant-hearted strength [43:18] - The danger of self-reliance vs. dependence on Christ [46:23] - Why brokenness is often the beginning of real faith [49:23] - Built Ready's five pillars: holiness, hydration, rest, workout, and nutrition [53:05] - Why rest is non-negotiable for fathers and leaders [54:24] - Nutrition as stewardship, not idolatry [56:18] - Their supplement line and why A2 protein makes it unique [58:41] - Closing reflections and the Evans' heart for faith, family, and service     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Safety Is the Cornerstone of Marriage Chrissy powerfully explains that true safety goes beyond physical protection—it includes emotional, financial, spiritual, and relational security. When women feel safe, marriage flourishes. 2. Adoption Is God's Heart in Action The Evans adopted four siblings to keep them together, living out God's call to be a “father to the fatherless” and modeling how faith drives family decisions. 3. Marriage First, Parenting Second Strong marriages create strong families. Kids thrive when they see their parents united, affectionate, and committed to one another before all else. 4. Leadership Is Servanthood Heath challenges men to rethink leadership—not as dominance, but as sacrificial love modeled by Christ. True strength is found in humility, service, and faith. 5. The Five Pillars of Health Built Ready's framework—holiness, hydration, rest, workouts, and nutrition—shows why spiritual health must lead the way, with physical health supporting a man's mission to love and serve well.     LINKS & RESOURCES   Built Ready Health & Fitness: https://builtready.com Chrissy Evans (Weight Loss Hero): https://weightlosshero.com Heath Evans on Instagram: https://instagram.com/heath_evans44 Chrissy Evans on Instagram: https://instagram.com/weightlosshero Contact Heath: heath@builtready.com Contact Chrissy: chrissy@weightlosshero.com Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions       If this episode inspired you to rethink marriage, leadership, and fatherhood, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Have you ever found yourself wondering why so many large-scale property management companies rise quickly… and then fall just as fast? In this episode, I'm joined by Ashley Ching, Founder and CEO of Inhaven, who brings a fresh - and deeply researched - perspective to this question. Ashley recently published an eye-opening report, “A 25-Year History of Hospitality Management: Why Local Wins and National Scale Fails.” And when I say it's a must-read… I mean it. We talk in-depth about  the rise and fall of companies like Vacasa and Aimbridge, and what their journeys can teach us about sustainable growth and operational excellence in our own businesses. Ashley doesn't just point fingers - she outlines the five key pillars that support successful hospitality operations, no matter your size. If you're managing short-term rentals and thinking about how to grow without losing your sanity (or your staff), this one is absolutely packed with insights.

This conversation is with men's fertility expert Josh Paigen — whose path took him from a childhood fascination with the natural world to helping men and couples prepare for healthy conception. We explore the alarming global decline in sperm count, why preconception health is about far more than simply being able to conceive, and Josh's five pillars of male fertility: sustenance, purity, exercise, rest, and mindset. Along the way, we dive into the roles of nutrition, environmental toxins, circadian rhythms, and even inherited trauma in shaping reproductive health — and how small, intentional lifestyle shifts can have a profound impact on future generations.You can expect to learn• Why sperm count is plummeting (and why this matters)• Five pillars of male fertility you can start today• How diet, toxins, and lifestyle shape reproductive health• Sleep, stress, and mindsets' hidden role in fertility• Epigenetics: how trauma and health choices get passed on• Simple changes that can boost fertility and overall vitality[Timestamps]05:43 Understanding Preconception Health11:54 Sperm as a Biomarker for Health17:27 Nutrition and Sperm Health23:50 Understanding Everyday Toxins29:22 Minimizing EMF Exposure38:19 Circadian Rhythms and Hormonal Balance47:56 Mindset and Holistic Health55:35 The Interconnection of Health and Fertility01:00:58 Understanding Epigenetics and Trauma01:08:36 Challenging Myths in FertilityConnect with Josh

In this episode of The Humans vs. Retirement Podcast, I delve into one of the most disorienting aspects of life after work: identity. For decades, we've answered the question “Who are you?” with a job title. Director. Manager. Teacher. Lawyer. And then retirement hits — and suddenly, the title is gone. What's left is often a quiet identity crisis no one warned us about. This episode, The Past Built You. Your Future Needs You explores why losing a role feels like losing yourself and how to begin rebuilding an identity that's deeper, freer, and far more authentic than anything you had before. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why so many retirees experience role-based identity collapse. The hidden danger of achievement addiction, and why productivity isn't the same as value. How identity is not fixed, but a story you tell yourself (and why that's good news). Three powerful shifts to rebuild identity in retirement: From Role → Values From Productivity → Contribution From Legacy → Aliveness Why staying stuck in nostalgia is one of the biggest risks in retirement. How to introduce yourself without your past job title — and why this simple exercise is so transformative. Challenge of the Week

https://www.thrivetimeshow.com/ Use Code: Mel K In this inspiring episode of The Mel K Show, I am joined once again by my friend Clay Clark. Clay is a man who never stops encouraging people to take control of their lives, embrace discipline, and step into their God-given potential. This conversation is all about empowerment, self-reliance, and the practical steps that anyone can take to transform their financial future. Clay opens the discussion with a simple but profound truth: wealth is often hidden behind self-discipline. While that may not be what everyone wants to hear, it is exactly what we need to hear. Success is not handed out freely by the government or by a broken system. It is built through personal responsibility, vision, and the willingness to do the work others avoid. To illustrate this, Clay shares the story of a teacher named Margaret. She was deeply frustrated with the state of the education system and knew children could be taught in a better way. Despite having no business background, Margaret made the courageous choice to start her own tutoring business. She began at zero, walking her neighborhood with flyers and struggling to gain traction. But after attending one of Clay's conferences, she applied what she learned, stepped out in faith, and now has so many students that she is hiring and training five new tutors. Her story is a testament to the power of taking action, even when the odds seem stacked against you. Clay breaks down five specific points for listeners to apply in their own lives. He stresses that everyone watching or listening can see the problems in our society, but not everyone is willing to step up and be the solution. Those who do will discover that discipline, consistency, and creativity open doors to opportunities that once felt impossible. We discuss how people can reframe their perspective on work, wealth, and responsibility. Instead of waiting for outside forces to save us, we must take back the authority over our families, finances, and futures. This is not just about money. It is about freedom, independence, and the ability to live with integrity in a time when too many are pressured to conform or give up. Here is what you will learn in this episode: Why discipline is the key to unlocking wealth and opportunity How ordinary people can start businesses and change their futures The inspiring story of a teacher who built a thriving tutoring business from nothing Five practical steps to move from frustration to empowerment Why personal responsibility is the foundation of freedom This conversation will leave you motivated and equipped to stop waiting for change and start creating it. Clay Clark is a reminder that we each have more power than we realize, and when we combine that with faith, discipline, and action, the results can be extraordinary. It is time to stop depending on failing systems and to start depending on ourselves, our families, and our communities. You can be your own hero, and this episode will show you how.
