Are you running on empty? Do you feel the weight of busyness, anxiety, and exhaustion pressing on your soul? In this powerful message, Rhythms of Rest, Dr. Monique Flemings brings a timely word in Part 4 of our series Inside Out: Becoming Emotionally and Spiritually Healthy in Christ.Dr. Monique reminds us that true spiritual maturity isn't found in striving, but in surrender. Through Scripture and Spirit-filled wisdom, she unpacks what it means to rest as an act of trust—living like God is truly in control. From the Old Testament command to keep the Sabbath, to Jesus' invitation to find rest for our weary souls, you'll discover that rest is not laziness or weakness. Rest is worship. Rest is maturity. Rest is warfare against burnout and fear.If you've been wrestling with storms, stress, or the pressure to hold everything together, this message will speak directly to you. You'll learn how to:Embrace the sacred pauses God designed for your life.Trust Him with your provision, protection, and future.Exchange anxiety for peace and panic for presence.Reclaim your rhythms so that your life flows in harmony with His will.Listen in and be reminded: the boat may be rocking, but if Jesus is in it, you will not sink.

Are you doing all the “right” spiritual things…and still running on empty? In this power-packed message, Dr. Monique Flemings confronts the treadmill of performance-based faith—what she calls restless religion—and invites us to step off the grind and into Spirit-led rest. Rooted in Luke 13:10–17, where Jesus frees a woman who had been bent over for 18 years on the Sabbath, Dr. Monique shows how legalistic rule-keeping can blind us to the heart of God and block someone else's breakthrough. When protecting tradition becomes more important than celebrating transformation, we've missed the point. She unpacks seven types of rest, drawing from the “Sacred Rest” framework to help weary believers diagnose why they're depleted beyond “just needing a nap.” Physical, mental, emotional, social, creative, spiritual (alignment!), and more—God cares about all of you. Burnout, she teaches, doesn't only come from doing too much—it comes from misalignment: serving in ways disconnected from your God-given purpose. Even vacations can't fix what the daily rhythms of real rest were meant to restore. So, what is restless religion? Activity without progress; motion without meaning; service fueled by fear of disappointing God rather than love for Him. If that's you—exhale. Jesus came to set you free. Dr. Monique warns how religious legalism elevates form over freedom and ritual over relationship, and how it can keep us from rejoicing when the bound are set free right in front of us. True rest flows from alignment with the heart of God, not flawless performance. Our faith must be rooted in His presence, not our checklists. Hear a healing call from Jesus: “Come to Me… and I will give you rest… you will find rest for your souls.” Lay down guilt-driven religion and receive the gentle yoke that lifts, restores, and renews. In This Episode You'll Discover:How Sabbath got weaponized in Luke 13—and what Jesus corrected. Why checking church boxes without heart connection drains you. Practical lenses to diagnose your rest deficits (7 types!). Signs you're stuck in performance mode—and how to step into grace. Listen, breathe, and receive. If you've been faithful but fatigued, this message is your invitation to stop striving and start resting with Jesus.Subscribe, rate, and share this episode to encourage someone who's running on empty.

In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, Dr. Monique Flemings takes us deep into the sixth facet of the Fruit of the Spirit—goodness—and reveals how it functions as the rich soil of our spiritual lives.More than just a good deed or a kind act, goodness is the outflow of a Spirit-led life, rooted in the character of God Himself.

In this powerful message, Dr. Monique Flemings takes an in-depth look at the familiar Bible story of the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1-29). She expunges the harmful misconceptions about this woman's character and reputation, revealing her to be a lawful, educated woman representing a mixed culture.Dr. Flemings highlights the intentionality behind Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman, explaining that it was a purposeful meeting planned by Christ. She unpacks the profound revelations that emerged through their conversation - Jesus proclaimed as the living water, revealed as a prophet, and ultimately declared as the long-awaited Messiah.The location of the well held great significance as a representation of the community's vital social resources necessary for survival and thriving. Dr. Flemings draws four key truths from this text:You have a divine purpose, as there is no distinction of status or gender in Christ (Galatians 3:28).You are chosen by God as part of a royal priesthood and holy nation (1 Peter 2:9).Your testimony has the power to change lives, just as the Samaritan woman's words led many to believe in Jesus (John 4:39).In Christ, you have been expunged - your previous spiritual condition has passed away, and you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).With passion and biblical insight, this message reveals the profound wisdom we can glean from the Samaritan woman's life-changing encounter with Jesus at the well. Discover how your story has been redeemed and you have been given a new identity in Christ.

Rey Flemings - the founder and CEO of an app called Myria - the world's most exclusive concierge service - is on a quest to change the world. Myria's ultra-wealthy clients - nearly all of whom are in the top .003% - come to Flemings with a wide range of requests, from relatively easy ones - like a front row seat to a Beyonce concert, box seats at the Super Bowl, or a personal invitation to the annual Met Gala in New York. Or sometimes they have nearly impossible requests - like helping clients secure an elusive O1 Visa during a government shutdown, or providing security detail in a country that frowns upon that sort of things. And sometimes clients have off-the-charts existential requests - which Rey particularly loves - like partnering to enhance their personal legacies, figuring out how to lead happier lives, or the ultimate dream, helping them find true love. Helping clients solve these challenges are all part of the human condition, and a big part of Rey's job. Myria's mission aligns completely with Flemings' core values and authentic leadership style. No matter how you slice it - Flemings has found a unique niche - and the company he founded is destined to make a positive impact in the world. www.imperfectleaders.com

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to Dave Fleming of Shady Brook Farm. www.shadybrookfarm.com In 1913 Shady Brook started as a produce stand off the back of a truck by T. Herman Fleming. The farm expanded to 40 acres, growing crops that were delivered to wholesale markets and grocery stores in the Philadelphia area. In 1984, Shady Brook opened its first retail market with pick-your-own strawberries. In 1990 the market expanded from a produce stand into a barn that was moved from a neighboring farm. Seasonal events andfield trips were added in the early 1990's. Over the next few decades, and under the management of the 4th generation of Flemings, Shady Brook Farm continued to grow into a large farm market complete with full service deli, homemade ice cream department (run by Uncle Dave's Homemade IceCream), garden center and pub; and has become a hub for top notch seasonal events.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3010081/advertisement

I spend most of my time here talking about how people earn their money.Rey Flemings, the chief executive of the YC-backed startup Myria, is an expert at helping people spend it. For several years, Flemings ran a luxury services consultancy for family offices. In other words, he threw parties in Las Vegas, introduced billionaires to celebrities, rented out private mansions, and helped people acquire things money can't usually buy. These days, Flemings is building a startup around the same concept. Letting rich people buy what isn't on the market. He's building a marketplace for off-market travel and accommodations. On top of that, he's spinning up a social network for the ultra wealthy. Flemings says his average member's net worth is about $600 million. I sat down with Flemings to talk about his startup and to understand how Silicon Valley's most successful people are spending the fantastical sums that they've earned in the past few years. He warned about the unhappiness that sudden fortune can bring, calling it “the success condition.”We're all humans. We're all chasing the American Dream. We're all chasing success. And when you achieve it, one of the first discoveries that people are shocked by is that you have to pump the brakes. Money doesn't buy happiness. I was talking with a new client the other day and he said, “Ray, I can't talk about this publicly, the world would play the world's smallest violin, but the day I exited triggered the deepest and greatest period of depression in my life.”Give it a listen.Highlighted ExcerptsThe transcript has been edited for clarity.There is a phenomenon in Silicon Valley where someone suddenly becomes rich, especially when their entire net worth is tied up in a startup. Finally, they sell the company and now have all this money, but don't really know how to be wealthy or what to buy. What typically happens when somebody sells their company for a billion dollars and gets 300 million of it?Rey Flemings: First of all, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, right? We're different. Significant, sudden, great wealth does come with a particular set of challenges. Zooming out across 15-17 years in this space and looking at all of the folks that work here, zoom all the way out. Let's just focus on first-generation people who are operating a business and/or they're doing something presently to amass that wealth. I've worked with probably 100-125 folks in that category. I hear the same things over and over, so often that we have even coined a name for it — we call it the Success Condition.It goes something like this: We're all humans. We're all chasing the American Dream. We're all chasing success. And when you achieve it, one of the first discoveries that people are shocked by is that you have to pump the brakes. Money doesn't buy happiness. I was talking with a new client the other day and he said, “Ray, I can't talk about this publicly, the world would play the world's smallest violin, but the day I exited triggered the deepest and greatest period of depression in my life.”What ends up happening is we chase the American Dream only to realize it and then we're like “Wait, why am I not happy? What's missing here?” Rich people get sad, depressed and commit suicide just like anyone else. Studies show that beyond about $100,000 a year, any more money doesn't actually contribute to human happiness. The wealthier and more successful you become, the harder it is to form close interpersonal relationships with people that aren't in your network.Break down what was the motivation to do Y Combinator and build more of a tech platform for Myria?Rey: Fantastic question, Eric. I'd love to sound like I had this all planned out and was so smart with so much foresight. I knew I wanted to build a scalable business with my background. But when I started The Blue, I ran it for 5-6 years before we could start Myria. It was complicated. How do you scale services? Many say you can't scale services. If so, what do you scale and how? How do you keep customers happy who want white glove service and personalization? How do you provide that special touch at scale? These are really hard problems to solve.I grew that business bootstrapped to about $60 million GMV annually. If you do that, you stay busy. I didn't know my kids, family, or myself. I was always on a plane, just work, work, work. That's not sustainable.At least you get to go to parties sometimes?Rey: Yeah, almost always in that business. I just celebrated my 50th birthday. I don't have to tell you I didn't want to spend the rest of my life on a plane in a suit. That's no way to live.It turns out that when we started Myria, we asked clients what they wanted. Ninety-two percent of requests fell into just three categories. People wanted our global travel product — not just booking a flight or kayak to Toledo. Really crazy, experiential travel beyond a private jet. When you get off the private jet, what happens? The best things in the world you can't find on Google. If you can't search for them, how do you know what's on the menu? There's a whole universe of off-market awesomeness in every category, but no one tells you about them because they aren't online.Travel experiences, people, and assets. When you're running a big company, you have an amazing team. When you hit $300 million net worth, you probably move to a single family office with teams managing your wealth. But for your personal life, even with household employees, you want to relax at home. A person worth $3 billion wouldn't run their company with one person, but their personal life becomes a multi-billion dollar enterprise with homes, kids, divorce, assets everywhere. Assistants work hard but can't be experts in everything billionaires need help in.We asked clients what they wanted and 92% of requests were in three categories. Also, there are about 20 markets ultra wealthy care about. If we have great coverage in those categories in those markets, we've covered nearly all use cases.I've always wondered — if I'm at Bezos' level of wealth, do I try to get everybody who interacts with me to sign an NDA? Especially if I'm out partying on a yacht, is everybody at that party signing something to keep things confidential?Rey: On the Myria platform, everyone who sells to our members is automatically under binding arbitration. The wealthy are targets for frivolous litigation. We try to prevent that.In real life, if you're hosting a party, many will request or demand NDAs and lock up phones, like Dave Chappelle style with magnetically locked bags. I think that's good considering phone addiction. You've thrown a million dollar party for people's enjoyment but they just look at their phones. But there are gaps. I can share a horror story.We did an expensive, innocent party at an incredible estate with famous people relaxing and having fun — nothing unprintable. But no one wanted cameras in their face while relaxing Someone who signed the NDA went to the press implying we discriminated by only having women sign NDAs, not the men. The men were dear friends of the client, so they didn't have to sign. Sometimes NDAs can backfire.Do you require NDAs for everything?Rey: We try to on the platform but nothing substitutes for having a good group of trustworthy people, which is harder as you become more successful. It's become a sport to vilify the rich, making it harder to form close relationships outside your network. Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe
Dubbed during his career as “The Man Who Knows What the World's Richest People Want (and How To Get It),” Rey Flemings has years of experience dealing with success. He sees it every day as the co-founder and CEO of Myria, a company that provides concierge services to fewer than 100 elite clients with a combined wealth of over $400 billion. On this episode, Flemings discusses what he's learned about wealth, money, success and happiness while on the job, how he makes impossible tasks possible, and what it was like to try and smuggle ventilators into New York City during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Flemings founded Myria in 2021 and has worked in the luxury services industry since 2017. He also served as the founder and CEO of Stripple, a web imagery monetization company, and CEO of Particle, an Internet services company acquired by Apple. -- Want even more?

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"REBROADCASTStill a ClassicVictor Fleming didn't just direct two movies in 1939, he directed two of what many consider to be the greatest films made – Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. Where the former, though, has more problems to contend with in today's society, what with its depiction of slavery and race in the South during the Civil War, the latter is nothing but pure cinematic joy. Seen by more people than any other movie, The Wizard of Oz has become infused in who we are. Quotes from the movie can pop up in everyday conversation without people even realizing they're quoting it. The songs – particularly “Over the Rainbow” – have been burned into our brains at an early age. It truly is a shining example of what cinema can be. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our ‘films of 1939' series with one of the great cinema achievements, Flemings' The Wizard of Oz. Here's a Look Into Our ConversationWe talk about what makes this film so great and why it's lasted so long, looking at everything from the story to the music to Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. We discuss Fleming as the main director putting the film together, the 14 writers tasked with bringing this script to life, and L. Frank Baum, the author of the original Oz stories. We chat about the actors – Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton, Jerry Maren, the Singer Midgets and more (not to mention Terry the dog as Toto) – and look at what they all bring to the table here. We chat about Buddy Gillespie's special effects, Adrian's costumes, Harold Rosson's cinematography, Herbert Stothart's music adaptation, Harold Arlen's & Yip Harberg's songs and Mervyn LeRoy's & Arthur Freed's producing, tying together all the elements they each were responsible for. And we comment on the popularity of the film, chat about it being a gay icon, and look at how it started at a loss but ended up making bank over the decades. It's one of the greats and certainly one we have a lot of passion about discussing.

What motivated two families to engage in the organized chaos of shared living and how did they learn to talk through, and shape, new expectations for their family life at home? In this episode of How to Talk to People, we hear from Deborah Tepley and Luke Jackson, who remember when they first asked their best friends to buy a house with them. The Flemings—soon to be expecting their first child—didn't hesitate to say yes. Their real estate agent and extended families warned against the decision, but the families shared a vision of a home where the values of community could flourish in practice.

Rey is the go-to guy when it comes to villas on the beach, private hangs with the famous, and buying what isn't for sale.

Join Dan and Tom as they bring you UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Decoded! The 2002 movie UNDERCOVER BROTHER is a spy movie that they've been wanting to decode for a while. It is very wacky but very racially focused. Some might call it a blaxploitation spoof movie. They look at this movie, in part, against the backdrop of the recent announcements that the Ian Fleming books are being rereleased and rewritten to remove 'offensive' text. UNDERCOVER BROTHER has many racial jokes against both black and white people. There are even some words that are considered offensive to some people. So, does this movie need to be censored as Flemings books are? Take a listen and send us your thoughts on this episode, UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Decoded! at info@spymovienavigator.com.

When the Netherlands and Belgium did not exist, people spoke of the Low Countries when referring to the area around the river deltas. Water has always played an essential role in the history of that region. For centuries, living on these waterlogged lands provided the Dutch and the Flemings with opportunities for trade, urbanisation, agriculture and much more. But it also meant that they lived under the constant threat of devastating and deadly floods. In this podcast, we discover how the Low Countries, after centuries of battling floods, have gradually learnt to treat water as an ally and a part of the cultural identity of its inhabitants.

Travis Grappo is a veteran in the restaurant industry, working for some of the most recognizable brands in the country, most notably Fleming's Steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse, and Metro Diner. But his newest venture is the definition of going ALL IN to achieve success. Travis opened Oak House in late 2021 in the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama. A Tampa, Florida, native, Travis has been all over the country and acquired tremendous experience working with a "who's who" of individuals. The conglomeration of tastes and flavors can be found on the menu at Oak House. A former track & field athlete, Travis qualified for the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials competing in the marathon. He uses his success in athletics to continue to compete at the highest levels in the restaurant industry. In this episode, Travis and I dive into the courage it took to go out on his own to open a restaurant, his background in the restaurant industry and the famous brands he was worked for, the toll the pandemic took - and is still taking - on the restaurant industry, and taking the competitive excellence instilled in him as an athlete to succeed in this endeavor.

Join this week's episode as Wayne Stender, our podcast producer, interviews Travis and Melissa Fleming about their story and the Apollos Watered Missioholistic approach to faith. There are so many issues that are facing Christians and the church today that it seems overwhelming. Church members are tired, some have deconstructed and left the faith altogether and pastors are burning out. What's the solution? Better yet, what is the problem? How did we get here? Why is the church in the West in the mess it's in right now? Having served in a variety of contexts with different cultures and in churches of various sizes, the Flemings have seen and experienced the pitfalls of our modern Western church firsthand and have a better path forward-the missioholistic approach. This is a fascinating and behind-the-scenes, firsthand look at the mission and heartbeat of Apollos Watered. It's a conversation about passion and the hope of renewal for the church going forward, to not just survive, but thrive!Sign up for the Apollos Watered newsletter.Check out our YouTube channel.Help support the ministry of Apollos Watered and transform your world today!

Twenty years ago, Tami Fleming worked as Host Jeff Meyer's office manager. Since then, she's had two daughters, undergone a divorce and joined several organizations to aid the unhoused population of Madison. Inspired to help those that are suffering in a tangible way, Tami started out by giving out cookies on State Street. A passion was ignited, and Tami began volunteering for Friends of the State Street Family Homeless Shelter and Shelter from the Storm, a transitional home for single moms. Tami also developed a business proposal for the Rapid Rehousing program, allowing recently displaced families to find apartments and settle back into their lives. More recently, Tami launched Those Flippin' Flemings, a vintage furniture refurbishing business. It is undeniable that Tami is just getting started as her “Movement of Compassion” grows. On today's episode, Tami and Jeff discuss how you don't need a Ph.D. in social work to impact people's lives. Tami's strength comes from trusting God and developing deep connections with the population she serves. Through listening to the needs of others, Tami has been able to effectively gain the trust of her unhoused peers to propel them forward. Tami also recognizes that no one accomplishes anything alone. By surrounding herself with a team of therapists, opportunity coaches and caseworkers, she has provided the services needed to stabilize (and save) lives. Although there's been insecurity along the way, Tami credits God for making her dreams of helping others a reality. Tune into this week's episode of Move Forward Anyway for an inspiring discussion between Tami and Jeff about listening to God when following your passion. Not everyone has a ten-year plan or everything figured out, but following simple steps and trusting the process can lead to life-changing results. Quotes • “We get those little winks from God, you know. Like, hey, you're doing what I want you to do. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of what you need.” (15:12-15:18) • “I think what I've learned - first of all, trust God. Because if you're doing what he wants you to do, he will show up. He will show up, and he will make it work. I came from a place where I thought I had to know everything and do everything by myself, and I couldn't ask for help because that would mean I couldn't do it. And that's not how we're supposed to be - we're supposed to work with our brothers and sisters because none of us can do this alone.” (20:20-20:48) • “You don't have to have a Ph.D. in social work to be able to help someone in a practical way that's experiencing homelessness. You know, you do something practical, and you just listen. You ask them questions about what they're talking about and try to understand where they're coming from and if there's something practical they need, be that person for them.” (31:35-31:52) • “You don't have to be wealthy or perfect or have a Ph.D. to be able to do something really meaningful in the world or in the life of another person.” (57:57-58:07) Links Friends of the State Street Family Homeless shelter: www.friendsofthestatestreetfamily.org Shelter from the Storm: https://sftsm.org/ Those Flippin' Flemings: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Those-Flippin-Flemings-103297058597828/ • Email: tamorafleming@gmail.com Get in touch with host Jeff Meyer: • www.jeffmeyer.org • Schedule a Discovery Call with Jeff: https://go.oncehub.com/DreamAcceleratorDiscoveryCall Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing
Sign up to our newsletter for more in-depth insights | Follow us on LinkedIn Peter Harrison, included in Debrett's 500 most influential people, starts by describing a rebellious youth that led him to reject his family's wish to study Theology at Oxbridge and instead to make a decision to go to Bath University to study Business in the 1980s. From there he talks of his first job at Schroders, working as an analyst, and further experiences he had at Newton, Flemings, Deutsche Asset Management and then a start-up, RWC. Peter describes their merger with Schroders and his ascent to CEO, and the journey from managing money to managing an investment business. The conversation moves to him talking about the compelling opportunities in Global Asset Management, contrary to some gloomy commentaries that we often read. He talks of the shift to managing money to solve problems and not simply to be benchmarked, and the evolution of active and passive strategies. He describes Schroder's vision of serving the individual customer, both affluent and high net worth, with the help of more electronic applications, a wider public and private offering and trying to help them avoid classic pitfalls of poor timing in entering and exiting the market. He also explains why although he thinks ESG must be embedded in your investment process, it will morph into a more coherent drive for impact investing. Peter also gives his thoughts on the growth of private equity, and the challenge facing stock markets buffeted by weighty regulation and diminished liquidity. He then discusses advice for the young thinking about future career, and some of the characteristics he looks for in potential hires.
