0:00 Introduction: 11 reasons to stop weighing yourself1:07 Why you shouldn't weigh yourself2:58 Hormones and weight loss8:12 Sleep and weight loss 11:22 Healthy weight-loss tips 16:36 The best weight-loss advice Scale obsession is not helpful for weight loss. The rise in cortisol from scale anxiety alone is enough to stifle your progress! Here are 11 reasons why you shouldn't weigh yourself: 1. Water weightSome people can lose up to 11 pounds of water weight in just 2 days! Initial water weight loss can cause unrealistic expectations. Most people only lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. 2. Salt Salty foods can cause you to retain fluid, especially if you're consuming them with sugar. 3. HormonesA woman's menstrual cycle can often cause weight-loss fluctuations of around 3 to 7 pounds. A rise in cortisol can also prevent weight loss. 4. Location of fatThe worst type of fat is visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs. If you don't see weight loss right away, you could be losing some of the more dangerous types of fat first. 5. Muscle loss or gainLosing muscle isn't healthy! Your weight may be decreasing, but it could also be accompanied by serious side effects. Similarly, muscle weighs more than fat, so you won't see weight loss if you're building muscle. 6. Myxedema This type of fat is often found in people with hypothyroidism and is difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone. 7. Poor sleepOne week of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance! Poor sleep leads to snacking, increased visceral fat, lower testosterone levels, and higher cortisol and stress levels.8. Ozempic People lose weight with Ozempic, but typically regain it when they discontinue use. Around 20% to 40% of this weight loss is attributed to muscle loss.9. Microdamage from exercise Overtraining breaks down your muscles. Edema and swelling can cause your weight to increase after exercise. 10. MedicationMedications such as calcium channel blockers can cause weight gain. 11. ConstipationFiber intake and constipation can affect the number on the scale. Stop weighing yourself and focus on these healthy weight-loss tips instead:1. Waist-to-height ratio 2. Fasting insulin3. Appetite decreases 4. Tiny amounts of carbs can block fat burning5. Fix insulin resistanceInsulin resistance is the root cause of many chronic diseases. Fixing it is the key to getting healthy and losing weight. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals and author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988. His use of “doctor” or “Dr.” in relation to himself solely refers to that degree. Dr. Berg is a licensed chiropractor in Virginia, California, and Louisiana, but he no longer practices chiropractic in any state and does not see patients, so he can focus on educating people as a full-time activity, yet he maintains an active license.

Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

If you've got a penicillin allergy, this episode is crucial for you! That's because you can outgrow a drug allergy like this even if you developed it as an adult. Antibiotic allergies are either misdiagnosed or fade over time. Even if you avoid taking antibiotics like the plague, having a drug allergy on your medical chart can end up limiting treatment options if you find yourself truly needing them.In this episode, my guest, Dr. Mariana Castells, breaks down how drug allergies are diagnosed, how long they take to disappear, why they can appear later in life, and how “drug delabeling” could dramatically improve your care (especially when something serious happens). Dr. Mariana Castells, M.D., Ph.D., is a world-renowned expert in allergy and immunology with over 30 years of experience. Whether you have an antibiotic allergy (or you know someone who does), this is a must-listen interview!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

What if you could reduce chronic pain, stress, and tension in just 15 minutes a day—without pills, surgeries, or endless appointments?In this conversation, I sit down with Jason van Blerk, former professional soccer player and co-founder of the Human Garage fascia method. Jason shares why he and his team closed their successful Los Angeles clinic after nearly a decade and shifted to one mission: democratizing self-healing so people can learn to heal their own bodies. He also opens up about his own breaking point—doing everything “right” in life and still ending up miserable—and how that moment pushed him to completely redesign his health, career, and purpose.In this episode you'll learn:- Why Jason believes the traditional “fix the patient” model is broken- How habits become locked in at the subconscious level after 28–40 days- Why so many young people now have health issues that used to show up at 60-70Like this episode?

Technology was supposed to make construction faster, smarter, and more efficient but in many cases, it's added friction instead of removing it. In this episode, we explore how the right technology, paired with the right culture, can eliminate inefficiencies and unlock real innovation across construction businesses. The conversation dives into why technology should exist to serve people, not the other way around, and how contractors can rethink adoption to focus on problem-solving, creativity, and long-term impact. This episode challenges the idea that construction is “slow to innovate” and reframes what meaningful innovation actually looks like in the field and the back office. You'll Learn: Why technology should remove barriers, not create new ones How to align tools, teams, and culture for real impact Where inefficiencies hide and why fixing them matters more than adding features Why construction innovation depends more on mindset than software How the next generation of contractors is reshaping the industry MEET OUR GUEST Connor Watumull is a construction technology leader focused on improving how contractors operate by eliminating friction in the systems that support their teams. With a background in software and engineering, Connor brings a practical, people-first perspective to innovation—one rooted in solving real problems, not chasing shiny tools. His work centers on helping construction businesses build stronger teams, operate more efficiently, and create lasting impact in the communities they serve. TODD TAKES Tech Should Clear the Path for People Technology isn't the end goal—it's the means to free people from repetitive, manual tasks. When tech removes barriers, it unlocks creativity and problem-solving, which is where construction teams thrive. The best technology makes life easier, not harder. Right Tech, Right Problem, Right Culture Adoption only sticks when the technology solves the right problem and is supported by the right culture. A shiny new tool without cultural alignment or clear purpose will just create friction. Success comes from pairing practical solutions with a culture that embraces innovation. Fix the Inefficiencies First Construction is built on solving problems, but inefficiencies—especially in the back office can slow progress. The mindset should be to constantly seek out gaps, pain points, and bottlenecks, then apply technology to close them. That's where true progress happens.    More Resources Thanks for listening!

Third-Quarter Meltdown at SoFi The Detroit Lions had a halftime lead at SoFi and left with a lesson. The NFL punishes teams that nap after the break, and the third quarter did the damage. Three straight three-and-outs. Short fields for Los Angeles. The defense buckled. The Rams took whatever they wanted. A slip in the postgame summed it up, calling it a three-quarter game before catching it. That is how it played. The game swung in 15 minutes, and the Lions could not claw back. This was not a one-off blip. It mirrored the recent pattern. Since early October the Lions have whipsawed win to loss to win again. The common thread is the third quarter and the struggle to steady the wheel when the script flips. Against the Rams, the reset out of the locker room never came. The Lions waited until the fourth to find rhythm. Too late. Identity Crisis on Offense The Detroit Lions offense lacks a reliable backbone. In the first half, they found it. David Montgomery churned tough yards. Six carries. Thirty-one yards. Early-down success. Manageable thirds. That is how you protect your quarterback against a strong Rams front and a top scoring defense. Then halftime hit, and the plan dissolved. Early-down chuck and duck. Long thirds. Montgomery vanished. Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to dent the wall. The approach drifted from what worked to what played into Los Angeles' hands. The play-caller change was supposed to clarify things. The overall numbers still look fine on paper, especially scoring. But how the Lions get there shifts week to week and quarter to quarter. That is why the roller coaster persists. This team needs a repeatable core idea. Run to set terms. Stay on schedule. Use play action off that. Until the Lions lock into that, the variance will keep biting good game plans in half. Trenches in Trouble Grey underscores the most urgent problem - the offensive line. Tristan Colon is not the answer at left guard. The film and the result say it. If Christian Mahogany is not ready, Miles Frasier has to be the next man up. Graham Glasgow is gutting it out. Taylor Decker is playing through a shoulder. Penei Sewell gets his ankle wrapped every week while carrying the load. The unit is battered, and it shows when the rotation hits the bottom of the depth chart. The offseason priority is clear, but December is here. Protection and the run game are the lifelines for the identity this offense keeps misplacing. Get Montgomery back in early. Make life simpler for everyone across the front. Pass Rush Plan and Secondary Strain The defensive line plan needs a reset. Time to pressure is among the league's worst, and it played out in Los Angeles. Aidan Hutchinson leads in pressures, but they arrive late. That invites disaster for a man-coverage secondary. Puka Nacua and the Rams feasted while Matthew Stafford sat clean and patient. You cannot ask corners to shadow NFL separators for that long and expect a win rate. Fix it with design, not just effort. Heat early. Change launch points. Win on first down to unlock the rush. If the front speeds up the clock, the coverage can breathe. If not, the Lions will keep chasing games they should control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1cCPeMh-U #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #third-quartermeltdown #threestraightthree-and-outs #shortfieldsforlosangeles #ramsfront #topscoringdefense #offensivelinedepth #tristancolon #davidmontgomery #jahmyrgibbs #aidanhutchinson Learn more about your ad choices.

Most indoor playground and play café owners don't need more ideas going into a new year — they need better execution on the ones they already have.In this episode, I break down exactly how I'm using AI right now to help my indoor playground business owner clients review numbers, tighten systems, and remove the operational friction that quietly drains time and profit.This isn't about trends or tech overwhelm. It's a step-by-step, practical walkthrough of how I recommend using AI as an analyst, operations assistant, and planning tool so you can head into 2026 with clearer priorities, stronger systems, and far less on your plate.BLOG for this episode05:00–11:00 Strategy 1: Revenue analysis to find 2026 opportunities11:00–15:10 Strategy 2: Fix party systems before busy season15:10–17:10 Strategy 3: SOPs that don't depend on the owner17:10–19:00 Strategy 4: Floor-plan-based cleaning and safety19:00–23:10 Strategy 5: Prevent membership churn with AI23:10–25:35 Strategy 6: Pricing and add-on cleanup25:35–27:55 Strategy 7: Customer message scripts and decision trees27:55–29:50 Strategy 8: Policies and incident reporting systems29:50–31:40 Strategy 9: Repurpose marketing content fast31:40–34:15 Strategy 10: Website clarity, conversion, and SEO34:15–38:35 Strategy 11: Partner and sponsor generation for 2026OTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLiving: https://discover.wellnessliving.com/playcafeacademyActive Campaign Free Trial: https://www.activecampaign.com/?_r=D6IYK3HG

Madison Timmons is on the mic, with JT filling in for Chris, who's currently in New York and clearly deep in his Zillow era—because the first listing in this episode came straight from him.In this segment, we break down three houses that are still for sale right now, all priced suspiciously low and all giving off serious haunted energy.First up is the New York Nightmare House, a rural farmhouse listed for $19,900 cash only. On the outside it looks like a basic fixer-upper. Inside… it's something else entirely, complete with derelict rooms, unsettling decor, and an attic that does not feel empty.Next, we head to Ohio with a listing we can only describe as “Is This Really in Cincinnati?”. Built in the 1930s and inspired by the World's Fair “Homes of Tomorrow,” this limestone-and-concrete structure looks more like a prison or an action-movie set than a family home. It's $200,000, sold as-is, and comes with historical newspaper clippings that raise more questions than answers.Finally, we tour a massive Victorian home in Helena, Arkansas, built in 1886 and listed for $120,000 by the owner. Four bedrooms, nearly 4,000 square feet, original details, stained glass, and a price that makes absolutely no sense. It's beautiful, well-maintained, and somehow feels like no one is truly alone inside it.We also share a quick update on The Other Side Show, our new horror-improv series blending comedy with paranormal and cryptid themes. The first episode premieres December 20 on Patreon, with a public release coming in January 2026.If you're listening on Spotify, switch over to video to see these listings for yourself.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso break down Milestone 5 of the Agent to CEO Framework: The Execution Roadmap—the critical bridge between strategy and real-world results. Most agents don't fail because they lack ideas or effort. They fail because they work on the wrong things, in the wrong order, with no execution rhythm. John and Joel unpack why second-best problems kill momentum, how to identify the single biggest constraint in your business, and how elite CEOs turn long-term vision into focused 90-day sprints. This episode is a masterclass in prioritization, accountability, and disciplined execution—designed for agents and team leaders who are done guessing and ready to scale with intention. Key Topics Covered Why Most Businesses Stall The real reason businesses fail: working hard on the wrong problems Why second-best problems only create incremental results How to identify the one thing that can 2–3X your business in 90 days The CEO Mindset Shift Moving from task-based thinking to purpose-driven execution Understanding your role as a leader in an AI-powered, consumer-driven market Why your value must go beyond tasks that can be automated Identifying Your True Constraint The most common constraints at each revenue level: Under six figures: no compelling offer Six figures to $500K: not enough leads $500K–$1M: conversion issues $1M–$3M: delivery bottlenecks and owner dependency Traffic, conversion, fulfillment, and retention—how to diagnose what's really broken The Execution Roadmap Explained Turning strategy into a focused 90-day action plan Why one priority per quarter beats five half-finished initiatives How to reverse engineer outcomes instead of guessing your way forward Setting Objectives That Actually Work Writing clear, measurable objective statements Defining success before starting Avoiding vague goals filled with buzzwords and zero accountability Key Results & Accountability How to define results—not tasks Why numbers matter more than opinions Creating key results that stretch the team without overwhelming them Ownership & Execution Rhythm The power of single-point ownership (one person, not a committee) Using weekly sprints to maintain momentum Why reporting beats brainstorming in execution meetings How Scrum principles accelerate progress without chaos Build, Fix, or Optimize Deciding whether your next move is: Building something new Fixing what's broken Optimizing what's already working Why optimization often produces the fastest ROI Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO Framework – Core operating system for scaling with clarity Scrum by Jeff Sutherland – Execution rhythm and sprint methodology Good Strategy / Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt CoachKitchens.ai – AI-powered execution support for real estate CEOs John Kitchens Executive Coaching → https://johnkitchens.coach Final Takeaway Execution—not effort—is the difference between agents who stay stuck and CEOs who scale. If you can identify your real constraint, commit to one priority, assign clear ownership, and execute in focused 90-day sprints, everything changes. Clarity eliminates overwhelm. Discipline creates momentum. And momentum compounds into freedom. "If you could only work on one thing for the next 90 days that would 2–3X your business, what would it be?" That question—and your willingness to answer it honestly—determines your next level.

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses.  these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates.  Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence.   The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom  The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20   authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

Guns aren't making us less safe and gun laws won't solve the problem. Most of our recent mass shootings had shooters who already violated gun laws to commit their crimes. The left wing culture in America, including mass migration is making us less safe. It's the root of our problem. Fix our regressive, hedonistic, violence and evil loving culture. That will fix America. We need our country to value strength, life, love, liberty, faith and family again. That's the antidote to the poison that creates a violence society. https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2000244040667676940?s=20   this morning, FBI Boston's Safe Streets Task Force, with assistance from the @USMarshalsHQ & the @Coventry_RI_PD , detained a person of interest in a hotel room in Coventry, RI, based off a lead by the @ProvidenceRIPD .

TRULY WICKED: Obama Judge Lavishly PRAISES Illegal Alien Who R*ped and Sodomized Helpless Woman with Cerebral Palsy – Refuses to Add More Years to His Sentence The Detroit News reported on Friday that a violent illegal alien from Honduras who sexually assaulted a woman with cerebral palsy in a Michigan laundry room will be released from prison as early as July 2028, less than three tears from now thanks to a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama. The illegal, 30-year-old handyman Edys Renan Membreño Díaz was previously caught sneaking into the U.S. at least seven times since 2019. He pleaded guilty in 2022 to sexually assaulting the woman and was sentenced by Judge Judith Levy in August 2024 to time served.

He was very gentlemanly, that's the word to describe him,” she said. Not a SINGLE ONE of them accused Trump of wrongdoing.

Calm down – it's not 1939. But it could end up just as bad. Today (13), it has been reported that Germany is sending soldiers to Poland, in a bid to ‘strengthen' NATO's eastern border with Belarus and Russia. Politico reported: “Several dozen German soldiers will join Poland's East Shield from April 2026, with the mission initially running until the end of 2027, Deutsche Welle reported, citing Berlin's defense ministry. German troops will focus on engineering work, according to a ministry spokesperson quoted in the report. The spokesperson described this as building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire and constructing anti-tank obstacles.  .” Source: thegatewaypundit.com Zelenskyy offers to drop NATO bid for security guarantees but rejects US push to cede territory   Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Zelenskyy on Sunday (December 14, 2025) voiced readiness to drop his country’s bid to join NATO in exchange for Western security guarantees, but rejected the U.S. push for ceding territory to Russia as he arrived in Berlin for talks with U.S. envoys on ending the war. Source: thehindu.com CIA Outlet Concerned About Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Meeting with Top Zelenskyy Officials It  been  reported that the FBI has been working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in detecting and discovering corruption amid Ukraine officials who have skimmed money from various international aid programs.  However, the Washington Post is suddenly concerned that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have held “secret meetings” with lead Ukraine peace negotiator Rustem Umerov.   it is easy to get the sense that Rustem Umerov is in alignment with the U.S. proposals, but Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not.  Hence, Zelenskyy keeps returning to his U.K, France, Germany and EU support network for counterproposals despite his officials like Umerov working with the U.S. team directly. This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine.  Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, the complaint challenges contract provisions that prioritize teachers from “underrepresented populations” during layoffs, reassignments, and recalls, and that grant exclusive employment benefits to members of a third-party program known as “Black Men Teach Fellows.” Federal officials argue the policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or sex in employment.

In this episode, Aaron welcomes real estate developer Bobby Fijan to discuss one of the most overlooked crises in American urban life: the dramatic decline of children in major cities. Once filled with kids playing in the streets, neighborhoods in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and beyond are now increasingly childless. Bobby and Aaron explore the causes—from Richard Florida's influential “creative class” vision that reshaped city priorities, to financial incentives driving developers to build studios and one-bedrooms instead of family-sized apartments, to skyrocketing private-school costs and the loss of family-friendly infrastructure.They also examine why this matters: cities are engines of opportunity and culture, but forcing ambitious young people to choose between career growth and starting a family is a societal failure. Bobby shares his vision for “baby maybe” housing, practical ways to make cities welcoming for young families again, and why a biblical image of elderly people watching children play in the streets should inspire modern urban planning. The conversation ends with a provocative look at how cities have become extraordinarily dog-friendly—at the expense of being kid-friendly.If you care about the future of America's greatest cities, this is a must-listen.CHAPTERS(00:00 - Intro & Welcome Bobby Fijan)(00:55 - The Collapse of Children in Big Cities)(03:17 - Why Kids Disappear After Age 5 (And Now Even Younger))(04:31 - Richard Florida and the Rise of the Creative Class)(07:13 - How Cities Catered to Young Singles—and Forgot Families)(10:55 - The Insane Cost of Private Schools in Cities)(12:47 - Decline of Catholic/Parochial Schools)(14:22 - Why Childless Cities Matter)(17:48 - Economic & Cultural Hubs Need Families Too)(19:45 - Texas Cities vs. Legacy East Coast Cities)(23:35 - Why We Keep Building Studios & One-Bedrooms)(26:23 - Financialization of Housing & Developer Incentives)(28:28 - Introducing “Baby Maybe” Housing)(31:29 - How to Fix the System (Fair Housing, Subsidies, Vision))(36:36 - Dogs, Kids, and the Future of Urban Life)(46:47 - Closing Thoughts)BOBBY FIJAN LINKS:

From growing up as a self-confessed “Ned” in Glasgow's Cardonald, to joining the army at 15, to spending 25 years overseas protecting UK diplomats in some of the world's most dangerous countries — Clark's journey is anything but ordinary.After realising his pensions wouldn't cover retirement, Clark began investing in buy-to-lets in 2008. Fast forward to today, he owns a high-cashflow portfolio in Montrose, earns close to £10,000 per month, and is part of an elite property group where only investors netting over £100k annually are allowed in. His favourite strategies now include serviced accommodation, long-term corporate lets, purchase with delayed completion, and upcoming moves into M&A and hotels.This episode is packed with wisdom, wild stories, and truly unique insights into risk, discipline, and building wealth later in life.

Many Christians are trying to follow Jesus while carrying far more weight than God ever asked them to bear. Worry, shame, regret, hidden sin, people-pleasing, expectations, disappointment, and the pressure to perform can feel like dragging a suitcase everywhere you go.But Hebrews 12:1–2 gives us a better way.In this sermon, we walk through one of the most powerful images in Scripture: the Christian life as a long-distance race marked out by God Himself. We explore what it means to:• Lay aside every weight• Confront the sin that clings so closely• Run with endurance• Fix our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faithYou will discover how Jesus has already carried the heaviest burden at the cross, how the “cloud of witnesses” cheers you on, and how God calls you to run lighter, freer, and with renewed focus.If you've been feeling tired, stuck, weighed down, or spiritually distracted, this message will encourage you to put something down today and look again to Christ.

Most acupuncturists can treat pain. But the pain comes back. We need to stop obsessing about disc bulges and MRIs and start looking at the actual mechanical problem that is leading to pain. Fix what's tight then strengthen what's inhibited and then retrain the movement pattern. Janda already did the hard work and most are just ignoring it and treating the site of pain.     Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com BLACKFRIDAY20 at checkout for 20% off until the end of the year.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso break down Milestone 5 of the Agent to CEO Framework: The Execution Roadmap—the critical bridge between strategy and real-world results. Most agents don't fail because they lack ideas or effort. They fail because they work on the wrong things, in the wrong order, with no execution rhythm. John and Joel unpack why second-best problems kill momentum, how to identify the single biggest constraint in your business, and how elite CEOs turn long-term vision into focused 90-day sprints. This episode is a masterclass in prioritization, accountability, and disciplined execution—designed for agents and team leaders who are done guessing and ready to scale with intention. Key Topics Covered Why Most Businesses Stall The real reason businesses fail: working hard on the wrong problems Why second-best problems only create incremental results How to identify the one thing that can 2–3X your business in 90 days The CEO Mindset Shift Moving from task-based thinking to purpose-driven execution Understanding your role as a leader in an AI-powered, consumer-driven market Why your value must go beyond tasks that can be automated Identifying Your True Constraint The most common constraints at each revenue level: Under six figures: no compelling offer Six figures to $500K: not enough leads $500K–$1M: conversion issues $1M–$3M: delivery bottlenecks and owner dependency Traffic, conversion, fulfillment, and retention—how to diagnose what's really broken The Execution Roadmap Explained Turning strategy into a focused 90-day action plan Why one priority per quarter beats five half-finished initiatives How to reverse engineer outcomes instead of guessing your way forward Setting Objectives That Actually Work Writing clear, measurable objective statements Defining success before starting Avoiding vague goals filled with buzzwords and zero accountability Key Results & Accountability How to define results—not tasks Why numbers matter more than opinions Creating key results that stretch the team without overwhelming them Ownership & Execution Rhythm The power of single-point ownership (one person, not a committee) Using weekly sprints to maintain momentum Why reporting beats brainstorming in execution meetings How Scrum principles accelerate progress without chaos Build, Fix, or Optimize Deciding whether your next move is: Building something new Fixing what's broken Optimizing what's already working Why optimization often produces the fastest ROI Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO Framework – Core operating system for scaling with clarity Scrum by Jeff Sutherland – Execution rhythm and sprint methodology Good Strategy / Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt CoachKitchens.ai – AI-powered execution support for real estate CEOs John Kitchens Executive Coaching → https://johnkitchens.coach Final Takeaway Execution—not effort—is the difference between agents who stay stuck and CEOs who scale. If you can identify your real constraint, commit to one priority, assign clear ownership, and execute in focused 90-day sprints, everything changes. Clarity eliminates overwhelm. Discipline creates momentum. And momentum compounds into freedom. "If you could only work on one thing for the next 90 days that would 2–3X your business, what would it be?" That question—and your willingness to answer it honestly—determines your next level.

Your team didn't wake up cynical.They learned it.When standards feel flexible, decisions feel opaque, and feedback feels empty, people stop believing the process is about performance. They start believing it's about proximity.That's when effort drops, trust erodes, and your program earns a label you never intended: a good ole boy process.If your best people are disengaging, the issue isn't motivation.It's the system they've experienced.LEADER SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLISTUse this to pressure-test any awards, development, stratification, or selection process you own.ClarityAre the standards clearly defined, published, and understood before the cycle begins?Could a junior member articulate what “right” looks like without guessing?ConsistencyAre standards applied the same way regardless of name, rank, or relationship?Would similar performance produce similar outcomes across the board?TransparencyCan you explain how decisions were made without hiding behind generalities?Do participants understand not just what happened, but why?FeedbackDoes every participant receive specific, actionable feedback tied to observable performance?Would that feedback help them improve for the next cycle?DocumentationAre decisions recorded in a way that can be reviewed and defended later?Could another leader step in and understand the rationale without re-creating it?AlignmentDo the behaviors you reward clearly reinforce mission execution, professionalism, and trust?Are you developing people, or just selecting winners?Trust CheckIf outcomes were shared without names attached, would they still make sense?Would you be comfortable explaining the results to the person who fell just short?If you answered “no” or hesitated on more than one of these, your process may already be teaching lessons you never intended.Fix the process, and you fix the perception.Protect the process, and you protect the culture.

Hollywood therapist Dr. Nicki J. Monti (seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Millionaire Matchmaker and more) never thought she was worthy of love. Her rollercoaster life through childhood trauma, addiction, violence, divorce, and widowhood, challenged her ability to believe she was worthwhile and good-enough to be truly loved. Finally, after learning to love herself, she found her happily, ever after.“We can't change history, but we can change our relationship to history. All healing involves a change of perspective. I've done that. Now the story I tell is through my true, confident, authentic voice. Amazingly enough, it turns out it's never too late to be all in for love. When we have a willingness to honestly reveal ourselves – to reclaim the vulnerable, precious version of self that got left behind amidst the chaos of surviving, life promises to take us in surprising directions. Living a vulnerable, emotionally honest life is a far more stunning, exhilarating, validating, experience than I ever expected.”Dr. Nicki J. Monti is a private practice psychotherapist and world-renown teacher, group leader, speaker, television and radio personality, and author of several books, including Stuck In the Story No More: Breaking down the Defenses that Define You and Bind You and Our Love Matters: Find It, Fix it, or Let it Go. She has long been internationally recognized both privately and on reality TV as therapist to the stars. Dr. Nicki's main interest is identifying and learning how to dance with the patterns that guide our lives. She's known as a straight-shooting teacher who truly believes that change is a matter of choice. Her soon-to-be-released book, The Divine Traumedy of Nicki Joy: A True Grime Tale, is described as a gritty, witty, provocative, dark, sex-drugs-rock-the-boat cautionary tale about how it's never too late to learn how to love and live.

In this episode, Michael O'Neal (Long Beach, CA) and Mircea “MEER-cha” Morariu (Boca Raton, FL) are finally back together after a long break from podcasting and from regular pickleball play. This week, the guys dive deep into one of the most overlooked—and most transformative—concepts in pickleball improvement: Whether you're a 3.0 trying to climb or a 4.5 tuning the edges of your game, how you approach your recreational games determines how quickly you level up. Michael and Mircea break down: Mircea shares his linebacker-footwork story and why athletic transfer is often the missing link for adult players. Pick one skill per game: e.g., inside-out forehand speed-ups, defense, or drops only Work on recognizing paddle angles and predicting opponents' shots Identify “safe spots” vs. “danger zones” on each opponent How to collaborate with a partner—even in rec play with strangers You can still grow—even if you're stuck in chaos-ball games with bangers or beginners. Mircea explains how to turn those games into valuable defensive reps or tactical experiments. Lobs, ripping at beginners, avoiding the better player, poaching every ball—Michael and Mircea break down the “read the room” factor and why winning a rec game should never come at the expense of being a good human. Michael explains how simplifying your drops and eliminating spin can help you get your rhythm back fast. Every rec game is a training opportunity—if you decide it is. Footwork is the foundation. Fix it and you gain an entire level. Communicate with your partner. Even one word—drive, drop, middle—changes the whole point. Make them hit. Trust your defense. Stop trying to hit perfect drops. And above all… don't be a jerk. Thanks to everyone who reached out wondering where we've been. It means everything to know the show is part of your weekly pickleball journey. If you enjoy the pod, please leave a quick rating or review on Apple Podcasts—it helps more players find the show. See you on the courts. Until next time, have yourselves a wonderful day. ⭐ Intentional Rec Play

Tuesday December 9, 2025II Week of AdventToday's Advent Reading:Amos 7:10–17Revelation 1:9–16Matthew 22:34–46In Amos 7:10–17, the prophet faces rejection from Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, who tries to silence his message. But Amos stands firm—not because he sought the role, but because God called him. Advent reminds us that God often uses ordinary people with ordinary beginnings to speak extraordinary truth.In Revelation 1:9–16, John encounters the risen Christ in blazing glory—eyes like fire, voice like rushing waters, face shining like the sun. This is not the baby in the manger… this is the King who reigns now and forever. Advent lifts our eyes to both His humility and His majesty.In Matthew 22:34–46, Jesus brings all of Scripture into focus with two commands: Love God with everything. Love your neighbor as yourself. Then He reveals that the Messiah is not merely David's son, but David's Lord. Advent calls us deeper into love and higher in worship.As we wait for Christ, these passages remind us: Stand firm in your calling. Fix your eyes on His glory. Live in His love.

A quiet epidemic is spreading, and it doesn't look like a fever. It looks like old dreams shelved, alarms snoozed, and a heart that once burned now running on dim. We name that sickness—Ye'ush, the giving up of hope—and we take it head on, not with slogans, but with a return to the core of Jewish identity: the will to keep fighting when it's still dark.We start by tracing the subtle signs of surrender that creep into adult life. The goal posts move, the expectations shrink, and “realistic” becomes code for “I stopped trying.” Then we turn to the story of Yaakov wrestling the angel. The blessing is not a trophy; it's a new name, Yisrael, “for you have fought.” That shift is everything. Outcomes belong to God; effort belongs to us. This lens reframes prayer, punctuality for minyan, learning with patience, building a career, and shaping character. The question is no longer “Did I win?” but “Did I fight today in a way that honors my soul?”We also revisit the early warning to Cain: why let your face fall when the path to repair runs through the next right act? The remedy for despair is structured action: small, protected habits that guard big values. Set a modest arrival buffer for tefillah and keep it. Fix a daily learning slot and let consistency outweigh intensity. Choose one trait to refine this month, track it with a cue, and reset quickly after slips. Measure progress by process, not perfection, and let streaks of honest effort build momentum. That is how we grind with hope in 2025—one deliberate rep at a time, anchored in the knowledge that we are Bnei Yisrael, the people who do not quit.If this message hit home, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a lift, and leave a quick review so more people find it.
