If only the going was always easy. But life's not like that. Sometimes we have to travel through difficult times. Times that test our patience, our endurance and our faith. And it's right in the middle of those times that God's Word holds the answers that we need to make it through.   Life Wasn't Meant to be Easy These days, it's a bit unpopular for someone like me to be talking about obedience to God's Word. It's not something most of us want to hear. Aw, come on Berni, teach me about grace, tell me about God's blessings, I want to know more about God's love. That's the stuff people want to hear about and sure, they're all really good things. I mean, really good things. But what about these particular verses of Scripture, John chapter 14, verse 15: If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 1 John chapter 5, verse 3: For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. No, obedience to God's Word is not a particularly popular concept these days. But the whole point of obeying God, is that the only things He tells us not to do, are the things that are going to bring harm to us and the people around us. So paradoxically, obedience brings freedom. Obedience sets us free from the consequences of our sin ... and sin ... sin always has consequences, right? Okay that's great. But what about when the going gets tough? What about when other people are doing the wrong thing, and we're hurting? What about obedience to God's Word in that place when the degree of difficulty gets ratcheted up to about a 9.9? Psalm 119, verses 20 to 24: My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times. You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments; take away from me their scorn and their contempt, for I have kept your decrees. Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes. Your decrees are my delight, they are my counsellors. That's amazing, because the man writing this Psalm, the man speaking to God here, is under a lot of pressure. But he's taken a stand. He's made a decision that he will long for God's will, God's Word, God's ways, when? Just in the good times? No! At all times! Even when evil people are heaping scorn and contempt on him, even when princes are plotting against him. That's a tough decision, but it's the right one. Many centuries later, the Apostle Paul put it this way. Galatians chapter 6, verse 9: So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. The time when God's Word is most important, when God's wisdom is most important, when God's ways are most important, is when the going gets tough. Right in that moment when we want to give up honouring God by living His way, right in that instant, that's when obedience to God's Word is most important. Because in that moment, the enemy wants to snatch your inheritance away from you. But don't give up, because there's a harvest coming. When? Well, at harvest time of course! The trick, I guess, the piece of wisdom, the powerful Word that God wants us to hear today though, is don't give up in doing what is right. Don't give up honouring and obeying God. But that's not always going to be easy is it? One of the things I love about the Hebrew culture in which the Psalms of the Old Testament were written, is the powerful use of picture language to express deep emotions. The Jewish tradition is full of rich, evocative picture language, like Psalm 119, verses 25 and 26: My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word. When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes. Just drink that picture in for a moment: my soul clings to the dust. It speaks of complete and utter desolation. It speaks of burdens so heavy, a body so weary, that it's lying in the dust, barely able to move. Not even able to lift its head to look up at God. When you're in that place, it feels hopeless. It feels lonely. It feels as though you're the only one who's ever been there, and nobody else understands. My soul clings to the dust. It's a picture that we all get. It's a picture that speaks into the desolation that we've all felt. Perhaps you're in that place right now, where your soul is sucking in the dust, with nothing else to cling to. It's the place where we want to give up, because we don't have a single ounce of energy left in us. Yeah, we've all been there. So, what do you do? What does the Psalmist do? What does he have to say to God? God, revive me according to your word. When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes. The first part of that makes a lot of sense – God revive me. The obvious thing to do, the obvious place to turn, the obvious cry for help … although how often do we miss the obvious? The question is, how does God bring that revival to an exhausted and completely depleted soul? Well, the psalmist knows! Revive me according to your word. When I told you of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes. You see, when we're in that desolate, dusty place, we need a way back. A real, tangible way back. And that way is through the Word of God. It's through God speaking to us. God's Word is food for the starving soul. God's Word is living water for a parched soul. But how often do we miss the obvious? I've seen Christians from time to time praying for revival. But revival begins at home. There will be no revival unless and until the living water, the Spirit of God, overflows from His people. You and I need revival in our hearts. You and I need to be filled to overflowing with the revelation of God through His Word, the joy of God, the healing of God, the Spirit of God. Revival begins at home! Lord revive me, according to your word. God's Word is a powerful thing, because not only does it bring revival to our hearts, not only does God breathe His Sprit into us through His Word, not only does God deliver His new life for us through His Word, but His Word also brings understanding. And understanding is wisdom. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you don't understand what's going on – either around you, or in you, or both? Sure you have, so have I. I mean, sometimes we don't even understand ourselves, let alone our circumstances, or the way other people behave and think. And the absence of that understanding, that wisdom if you will, makes life a difficult thing to live. Understanding as it turns out, is the key to living life. Psalm 119, verses 27 to 32: Lord, make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works. My soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. Put false ways far from me; and graciously teach me your law. I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your ordinances before me. I cling to your decrees, O Lord; let me not be put to shame. I run the way of your commandments, for you enlarge my understanding. Understanding is mentioned twice in that passage, once at the beginning and once at the end. Again we see that the Psalmist is going through difficult times – my soul melts away for sorrow – and yet the thing that he asks for is understanding. That in itself is surprising enough. We spend our time asking God to take away the pain when our souls are melting away through sorrow, but the Psalmist is asking instead, for understanding. But understanding of what? Of the ways of God's precepts. In other words: Okay God, Your Word, Your precepts, they're all fine, that's a given. But now, God, I want to understand the ways of your precepts. I want to understand how the rubber hits the road. I want to understand how I can live them out, because I want your strength, I want to put false hope far from me, so teach me. I'll cling to your Word, because I know that as I live it out, You are going to enlarge my understanding. What a powerful prayer. It's a prayer for on-the-job training. You imagine asking God for that, over and over again … imagine the understanding, the wisdom, the power that God is going to unleash in your life. Just imagine! Here's the thing: God wants to do powerful things in you and through you, He just does. And He's put His Word there, the Bible, through which to give you, all the understanding you need. Make me understand the ways of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works. Wow!   A Heart for God's Word If I were to ask you today, what is the one thing that you're focussing on at the moment, what would that be? What's the biggest thing going on in your heart at the moment? The truth is, that from time to time the things of this earth grab our attention. Some of those things are good things. Some of those things are bad things. In a few months' time my daughter is going to be getting married. Well, you can imagine, that's pretty much the focus of things in our household at the moment. There's nothing wrong with any of that, unless and until the things of this world bubble to the top of our priority list, above God Himself. When that happens, our lives have a way of going pear-shaped. All of a sudden, when we get our priorities the wrong way around, we start to live out the consequences of that. So let me come back to that question: what is your heart focussed on at the moment? What's at the top of your list, hmm? Psalm 119 verses 35 and 36: Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. Turn my heart to your decrees, and not to selfish gain. This Psalm is written by a man who is speaking to God. So, when he says: lead me in the path of your commandments and turn my heart to your decrees, He's asking God to do those two things for Him. Psalm 119 blows me away. It's the longest chapter in the Bible – 176 verses all-in-all. And the majority of it is a prayer, asking God essentially to help this man who is writing it, to get his life straight, by getting God's Word into his heart. That's the bottom line of the whole Psalm. God I can't do it on my own, I need your help. That's a great admission, because it happens to be true. And here in verses 35 and 36, the Psalmist is asking God to turn his heart to God's decrees rather than to his own selfish gain. That's the pivot point in our hearts isn't it? Our whole lives swing on this hinge between honouring God and selfish gain. Between right and wrong. And that's why I keep asking you: what's the focus of your heart right at the moment? Where is your heart? Focussed on honouring God or on selfish gain? The answer matters. It matters a lot. There is such power in the Word of God to set you free from your selfishness. Why is it that people leave their Bibles on a shelf somewhere gathering dust? God has the power to set you free. Free from the consequences of sin. All you need to do is to ask Him for His help and He will step in. And here's the thing about God's help. It's intensely practical. Intensely real. In our lives on this earth, you and I, we're prone to trusting things that we can see. It's only natural. We live in a physical world, so we trust in physical things. We know, for instance, that tonight the sun will set, and in the morning it will rise again. We trust in relationships. We trust in our circumstances, good or bad. We trust in our pay packets and our bank balances. And to a point that's as it should be … to a point. Up until the point where we trust in those things above and beyond who God is and what He says He will do. At that point, you've started trusting your life into things that are not worthy of that level of trust. If you have a share-portfolio that's worth a certain amount of money, hey, the market could plummet tomorrow. The same is true of every other physical thing on this earth – they can give way ... in an instant. And so often, we're caught out, because we've place our trust in the wrong things. That's why we need God's help, His intensely practical help, to get our hearts focussed on the right things. Psalm 119, verses 37 to 40: Turn my eyes from looking at vanities; give me life in your ways. Confirm to your servant your promise, which is for those who fear you. Turn away the disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good. See, I have longed for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life. So here the Psalmist is asking God to turn his eyes away from all those vanities, all those false idols in which we place our trust. What idols as you trusting in at the moment? In what vanities have you placed your trust? Hmm? Father God turn my eyes from looking at those vanities and give me life in your ways, literally, give me living energy to pursue the way marked out by You O God. That's it! That's what I need, that's what you need. Living energy. Holy Spirit energy, to head God's way, to trust God to lead us forward, rather than placing our hope in false idols. Friend, God's promises are true. Those false idols, ultimately are going to lead you to disgrace. But God's promises will never fail. God I've seen that your ways are good. I long for your ways. Lead me in them. Give me life. What a great prayer. What a powerful way to change your heart. Try as we might, we cannot change our own hearts for ourselves. But God's living energy, the power of His Word, the power of His Spirit – that's where we get a change of heart. That's where we get a change of focus. God doesn't want you to continue trusting in idols, dreading the disgrace that they will ultimately bring. He wants to shift your focus, transform your heart, with His living energy. Because when we walk in God's ways, then all of a sudden we discover what freedom really is. It pains me to tell you this, but for the first thirty-six years of my life, I thought I was free. Free to live my life the way I wanted. But now, looking back on that time before I accepted Jesus into my heart, I realise that I was nothing but a captive. The best way to describe it, is that I looked successful and happy on the outside, but on the inside, I was plagued by fear and doubt. On the inside, I was a complete mess. That's because I was a captive rather than living as a free man. That's because the expectations of this world dominated my heart. Again, the Psalmist puts it like this, Psalm 119 verses 41 to 46: Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise. Then I shall have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust in your word. Do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your ordinances. I will keep your law continually, forever and ever. I shall walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts. I will also speak of your decrees before kings, and shall not be put to shame. I really get that bit about having an answer for those who taunt me. The criticism, the mockery of others, used to be like arrows into my heart. Let me ask you, to what extent are you marching to the beat of the world's drum? To what extent are you dancing to the tunes of the expectations of others? And when you can't meet those expectations, people criticise you, people reject you, they throw you out like a worthless piece of trash. We spend way too much time and energy striving, sacrificing, performing in order receive the approval of others, only to fail, only to miss the mark, only to discover that it's a pursuit that's hollow and empty and simply not worth the effort. But the more we get into God's Word, the more we discover the steadfast love that God has for us, the more we get to know God's Word and trust God's Word, the less those things matter. And the less those things matter, the more we discover the freedom that we have in Jesus Christ. I shall walk in liberty for I have sought your precepts! Yes! Hallelujah! Absolutely! Freedom. God's freedom. There is such freedom when we get it into our hearts that we're meant to live our lives for an audience of One. That's what God has ready and waiting for you. True freedom in His ways, in His precepts, in His Word. Jesus said: If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.   Jesus is the Way It's rather an odd thing, but one of the names that Jesus is given in the Bible, is that He is the "Word of God". Now we normally use that term ‘the Word of God' for the Bible itself, because, after all, it's through the Bible that God speaks His words into our lives. Fair enough. But have you ever thought how powerfully God speaks to us through Jesus Himself, the very Son of God ... God in the flesh? This is how the Apostle John puts it. John chapter 1, verses 1 to 5: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in  the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. We all travel through dark times, we just do. And in those dark times, what we need is light. Jesus came to be that light. This is what He said of Himself – John chapter 8, verse 12: I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Jesus is God speaking to us in a language that we can understand. And that's why in my own personal reading of the Bible, I always make sure that from time to time, I cycle through one of the Gospels. Right now I'm just about to finish the book of Psalms and head into Matthew's Gospel. Why? Because Jesus is God revealing Himself to us – to you, to me. And I don't know about you, but I need that Light in my life. I need Jesus speaking directly into my life. I need a deep, personal, intimate relationship with Jesus, as I walk with Him and for Him, day by day. Without Jesus, we don't know God, indeed, we cannot know God. Without Jesus we can't find the way to God, because Jesus is the Way. Might I ask you today, what darkness do you have going on in your life? What fears, what uncertainties, what worries are at the forefront of your thinking right at this moment? What situations are confusing you and confounding you and proving completely impossible for you to overcome? Jesus is the answer. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things that were created, were created through Him and by Him. He has knowledge and wisdom and power beyond anything we can imagine. And He is the light for all people. That includes you. And when that light, His light, the Light of the world shines in your life, the darkness simply cannot overcome it. Jesus is the answer.

Can't focus? A Shaolin Master shares the ancient secrets used by monks for ultimate concentration!

This was perhaps the most intense conversation I can remember having. Incredibly efficient, scarily so. Focussed, intentional, direct. Why should you listen to this episode?This company arguably created a category. By focussing on offering high yield and higher deposit insurance at a time when banks were not, when interest rates began to rise, they capitalized on a generational market opportunity.Today Meow is known for its access to high-yield treasury, and while there are a few in this category none quite have the explosive growth that Meow has. This is a company that has lazer focussed on execution, channel partnerships, and go-to-market.I describe conversations I've had with Brandon like talking to a scalpel. He'll get to the point so quickly and surgically it's often hard to keep up. Meow started offering high-yield access to Stablecoins but may have pulled off the mother of all pivots. Today Meow offers up to $125m in FDIC insurance through its deposit sweeps network, which is expanding internationally and the CEO even graced the pages of Forbes.What makes Brandon tick? What makes Meow work? And how are they building an enduring business

Father is a special title God gives himself. For us who are dads, we need totake this title with the proper weight.

A wide range conversation of almost two hours- second episode will follow soon- with Henry Dimbleby, founder of Bramble Partners, a venture capital firm, that invests in businesses seeking to improve food security. Before Bramble Partners, Henry co-founded Leon Restaurants and the Sustainable Restaurant Association and also served deep in the heart of the UK government as he was appointed lead non-executive board member of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.In this exchange we discuss everything from Donella Meadows in complex systems to what that means for all of us trying to influence these systems and policies and how you actually change policy. How it was to manage the COVID crisis from within the UK government, keeping food on the shelves of the supermarkets and local shops, and trying to drastically improve school meals and their accessibility for children living in poverty in the UK. Plus, a deep dive into the junk food cycle, the differences between ultra-processed food and junk food, and the crazy ultra-processed food addiction we all, or mostly, have fallen victim to. And finally, how eating lentils can change everything.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/henry-dimbleby.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

Brief Summary Dan explains the rationale behind the decision to stop accepting individual website projects for new clients, focusing instead on existing monthly paying clients to ensure sustainability and better service. By prioritizing ongoing client relationships, the team aims to foster growth and positive outcomes for both the business and clients. Despite initial challenges in turning down immediate projects, the shift towards long-term, high-paying clients is expected to yield favorable results in the future. Dan emphasizes the value of nurturing lasting client partnerships for sustained business growth and success.   Long Summary Dan discusses the reasoning behind their business decision to stop taking on individual website projects for new customers. Despite still catering to existing monthly paying clients, the team realized that dedicating resources to one-off projects was not sustainable. The low income generated from these projects was disproportionate to the amount of time and effort required, diverting attention from loyal, high-paying customers. By shifting focus back to regular clients, they aimed to provide better service and nurture lasting relationships, leading to significant business growth and impressive results for their clients. Dan emphasizes the value of prioritizing ongoing client relationships over quick, one-time transactions. He shares success stories of clients who benefited greatly from ongoing services, achieving substantial revenue increases and impressive online engagement. Dan points out the inefficiency of pursuing small, isolated projects compared to securing long-term, higher-paying clients. Despite the initial difficulty of turning down immediate cash flow opportunities, Dan believes that redirecting efforts towards consistent clients will prove beneficial in the long run. Moreover, Dan discusses a recent experience where a potential client hesitated to commit to a website project, negotiating extensively on price before eventually missing the opportunity altogether due to the team's decision to shift away from such projects. This incident highlights the challenges of balancing short-term gains with long-term business strategies. Dan acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding their decision but remains confident in its potential positive impact on their business growth and client relations. He encourages viewers to evaluate their own business practices and consider the importance of prioritizing long-lasting client partnerships over transient opportunities for financial gain.     The Wealth Creation Podcast is brought to you by Daniel Latto, and is designed to help you learn the steps you need to take to achieve Financial Freedom in the next 5 years.

Trigger warning: Mental Health   Welcome to Episode 117. Compassion Focussed Therapy with Dr Stan Steindl   When we think of compassion, most of us could probably say that we have compassion for others. We're able to recognise the suffering in others, and take steps to help alleviate that suffering.    But when it comes to self-compassion, we can sometimes let ourselves down. We can be self-critical, and get stuck in a loop of negative thought cycles that never seem to end. And for men… the thought of being self-compassionate can seem unnatural. But there is strength and courage and self-compassion; and this can be learned through Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT).    Dr Stan Steindl joins me this week to explore CFT and how it can support men to become the best version of themselves. Stan is a Clinical psychologist in private practice at Psychology Consultants Pty Ltd, and an adjunct professor at the university of Queensland School of Psychology. He is also a TedX speaker, and host of Compassion in a T-Shirt. In the full episode Stan shares:  What compassion is and why it is important How he defines trauma and suffering  Why men avoid self-compassion What Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) is  Supporting men to increase their self-compassion 4 little steps to start practicing self-compassion   Key quotes   "Compassion is a sensitivity to suffering in self and others with a commitment to try and alleviate and prevent it”   "Often self-compassion is the tougher choice in the service of health and wellbeing”   “Often men can baulk at the idea of self-compassion because they think its self-pity"   Connect with Stan: Website: www.stansteindl.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCujCvGkc_TFF7KmA0Sk4E7A Private Practice: www.psychologyconsultants.com.au    Connect with Mindful Men Website at www.mindful-men.com.au Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2050441875316594 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindful.men.aus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindful.men.aus/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-rinne-246207247/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindful.men.aus Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXBNQmbj4ZQj3rzFAZALTA   ***If anything triggers you from today's episode, please reach out to your support networks or seek professional help***   Stay Mindful, Simon --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mindfulmen/message

Warby Parker, an emerging player in the dynamic optical industry, recently shared significant details about their performance and future plans during an earnings call. The presented data depicts an encouraging growth trend with a reported full-year revenue reaching $669.8 million, signifying a year-over-year increase of 12%. Positive free cash flow alongside an augmented adjusted EBITDA further indicates a positive financial trajectory for the company, as stated during their earnings call. Dedicated to customer-oriented innovation, Warby Parker's success rides on its ability to adapt their product portfolio to shifts in market needs. As reported on the earnings call, the strategic expansion of product offerings, introduction of innovative collections, and the upscaling of their contact lens business have not only propelled their growth but have also led to diversified revenue streams. This demonstrates the efficacy of their omnichannel retail model, proficiently merging online and physical retail channels to cater to consumer demands. While the earnings call did not elaborate on specific consumer behaviors, an analysis of performance figures provides insight into a solid demand for Warby Parker's eyecare services and products. Focussed operational strategies looking at customer acquisition, retention and brand visibility, noted during the call, have empowered the company to uphold performance levels in the face of capricious market conditions. Pivoting towards future plans, Warby Parker has outlined its roadmap for 2024, which emphasizes profitable growth and customer retention. The CEO acknowledged during the earnings call, "We have higher ambitions, particularly for top line growth and preserving more customers, all while maintaining operational discipline and expanding profitability." The strategies that Warby Parker intends to adopt include enhancing their marketing and brand promotion efforts, bolstering sustainable e-commerce growth, and committing to spacial retail expansion. Complementing these strategies are initiatives to enhance eye exam services and broaden their contact lens portfolio. "We're excited about the growth and the momentum that we're seeing in Q1 to-date," the CEO added. Optimism about future growth was balanced with an acknowledgement of the customer's evolving preferences and behaviors, the need for brand familiarity, and holistic vision care offerings. To conclude, the financial health, strategic decisions, consumer behavior insights, and future plans of Warby Parker, as outlined during their earnings call, shed light on the company's sustainable growth approach in an unpredictable optical industry. Their resilience, strategy, customer focus, and measured optimism suggest a realistic vision for their trajectory, cautioning that the path to sustainable success is likely to involve navigating complex market dynamics.

Episode 49! Today's episode is a laughter filled, insightful conversation with Rhianna Knight, based on Wurundjeri Country. Rhianna is a fashion designer, hiker, founder of Amble Outdoors and all in all, a really joyful, inspiring creative and adventurous human.While out on her own hiking adventures, including in Patagonia, Rhianna realised that while the gear she was wearing was technically appropriate for the conditions, her sense of personal style was totally missing in the then offering for women in the outdoors. Building on her experience as a Fashion Design student, and a really valuable internship in a small snow sports brand where her responsibilities were huge and wide ranging, Rhianna set out to design her own line of outdoor apparel which women can feel good in, while also focusing on sustainability throughout the journey.Rhianna shares with us so many gems when it comes to the realities of creating, and continuing to evolve "Amble" with sustainability in mind, and her knowledge and passion in this space is so incredibly evident, along with her strong desire to see more women outdoors.Tune in to hear about many things not limited to:building an outdoor apparel brandsustainability considerations in creating and choosing outdoor geardesigning for women and size inclusivity for womenRhianna's experience in multi-day hikes and her contrasting approaches to different (both solo and shared) adventuresAmongst others that we no doubt didn't cover (!) Rhianna herself has hiked Wilsons Prom; Great Ocean Road Walk; Larapinta Trail; Grampians Peaks Trail, in addition to her overseas adventures. It's clear that her very open minded and really balanced approach to her own adventures brings such an inclusive perspective to the development of her own brand.Rhianna mentions the book "Let my People Go Surfing" - Yvon Chouinard.To find Rhianna online, visit @amble.outdoors or www.ambleoutdoors.com.auThanks so much to our newest Patreon sign up - Allison W - and to all of our patrons, I appreciate you so much!

While I was planning for my homestead and business goals for 2024, the word "invest" came to mind. I've realized that I need to focus on investing my time, money, and energy into things that will propel my goals forward. This also means reducing or eliminating things that don't contribute to my goals. I chose the word "invest" because it carries more weight. When we invest, we are intentional and expect a return on our investment. So, for 2024, I choose to invest in: Organizing and automating my time to create more free time. Putting more energy into activities I love, such as spending time with friends and family, working with horses, and engaging in artistic pursuits. Using my money to grow my business and homesteading skills. Focusing on actions that make a significant impact instead of wasting time on trivial matters. I'm sharing this with you to encourage you to think about how you can be intentional in the new year. Even if you don't choose a word of the year, find something that symbolizes your commitment to improving your life and getting closer to your goals. If you're looking for a word of the year, feel free to use mine. For me, the word usually emerges as a pattern in my life. It may be something that is missing or something I know is necessary. I hope your year is off to a great start. Below are some ways I can help you further.  Mona's info: Free Homesteading for Beginners Checklist: https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/checklist/ Homesteading for Beginners workbook: https://healthyhomesteading.com/workbook Workshop for Beginner Homesteaders and Dreamers (includes workbook): https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/workshops/ Homestead Income YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@HomesteadIncome 101 Homestead Income Ideas List: https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/homesteadincome Homestead Income Plan Group (FACEBOOK): https://www.facebook.com/groups/homesteadincomeplan Mona's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farmer_mona/ Homesteading for Beginners YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@homesteadingforbeginners

This is part 1 of Jason's interview with Gretchen Morgenson. Jason introduces author Gretchen Morgenson, as he talks about how private equity impacts and disrupts the American economy. He also mentions the wealth gap, control over businesses, and the challenges faced by the middle class. He emphasizes the significance of understanding past transactions, particularly during the COVID era, and highlights the housing shortage, attributing it to a lack of disruptive construction and transportation technologies. He also introduces a new strategy to increase cash flow and deposits, encouraging listeners to join a 6-week coaching program.  Then Jason welcomes Gretchen Morgenson, a Pulitzer prize award-winning journalist, as they talk about private equity. They discuss the impact of private equity on various businesses, including real estate, and Gretchen explained the model of private equity which uses heavy debt and aims for quick turnaround profits. They also touched on the secretive nature of the private equity industry, its significant presence in various sectors of the US workforce, and its effects on profit-focused business practices. The conversation ended with a warning about private equity firms entering the insurance business. #PrivateEquity #EconomicImpact #HousingShortage #InvestingStrategy Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:23 The wealth gap 3:17 Jason's long overdue haircut 4:08 Travel in a time machine to "Yesterday" 9:20 What's the point? 10:20 Cheaper mortgage after a decade  11:38 The affordability issue 11:53 Empowered Other People's Money- Fireyourmanagers.com Gretchen Morgenson interview 13:58 Welcome Gretchen Morgenson 14:13 These are the plunderers- time pressure on leveraged companies 17:17 Leveraged loans and the size of the markets 19:20 Focussed on hyper-profitability 25:53 Private Equity in SFH real estate   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Angela presents a biohack edition featuring Eliza Kingsford from episode 261, exploring the profound impact of our nervous system on our thoughts, emotions, and actions, emphasising the importance of being in a regulated state to access a flow state and enhance creativity. Eliza explains that carrying a disregulated nervous system into a task or activity can hinder productivity and lead to distractions like food, scrolling, or checking email. By recognising and understanding our own nervous system states, such as safety and connection, fight or flight, and shutdown, we can better navigate our reactions and behaviours. TAKEAWAYS Our nervous system plays a crucial role in our thoughts, feelings, actions, and creativity. Being in a flow state requires a regulated nervous system. If we carry a disregulated nervous system into a flow state, it will hinder our productivity and creativity. Disregulation can lead to engaging in shallow tasks or seeking distractions. Recognising and being aware of our nervous system is essential. It drives our behaviour and how we interact with others. Different cues can activate different states in our nervous system. Mapping out the flavours of our nervous system can help us understand our own unique states. This involves describing what makes us feel safe and connected, as well as what activates our fight or flight response or leads to shutdown. BEST MOMENTS "Being in a flow state requires a state of nervous system regulation." "If you carry a disregulated nervous system into that state, it's not going to be productive." "No one is immune to this. We all have a nervous system and all of them are picking up on cues all day long." "It's just getting to know what's the state of your system, right? And bringing in as much description as possible to be able to describe that."

A conversation with Erwin Westers, about soil biology, the German regenerative movement, the seed business, healthy seeds, healthy soils, healthy people, epigenetics, taste, flavour and why there is so much to learn in the German-speaking world on regeneration.It is all about soil biology. Erwin found it out after farming low till and with cover crops for over 5 years, not without results, but not with the impact he hoped it would have. Until it clicked: with help of the German regenerative movement they started to focus on soil biology because if that isn't there the cover crops are not digested on time to provide the fertilisation for your cash crop. It almost sounds like magic, but you can really reduce your inputs (organic manure, chemical NPKs etc. to almost zero) and still harvest an interesting cash crop year after year.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/erwin-westers.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

On this episode I sat down with Cameron Faller, physical therapist and educator to discuss some of the shortcomings of the current approach to evidence-based practice and how a move to process based therapy may be the answer.  We went through the following topics: Q 1: To begin with, do you mind if we dive into some of the issues or shortcomings of evidence based practice as we know it? Shortcomings of the current approach to therapy (biomedical model) Focussed on biology  Has saved lives  Struggles to capture the interplay between biological, social and psychological  Reductionist problem solving    Mechanistic world view  View body like a machine  The focus is on fixing isolated parts    The idea that we can understand individual trajectories by understanding normal and the  deviation from normal. They thought that between subject variability was a good estimate of within subject variability.    Falsely homogenized group and situationally decontextualised individual units  The Bell Curve of the collective only to decontextualized individuals (which is no one)  Normative concepts may not be applicable to specific individuals (as they are non-ergodic)  It's a kind of individualism but not related to a real individual    Question 2: Issues with the application of the biopsychosocial approach to clinical practice   Question 3: What is process-based therapy?   What core biopsychosocial processes should be targeted with this client given this goal in this situation, and how can they most efficiently and effectively be changed?  Process based therapy approach:  What creates the problem for the individual  What historical factors may have contributed  What are the factors that maintain the problem  Create a network of nodes of possible factors [network functional analysis]  What strategies can we use to perturbate this complex system? How can we introduce healthy variation or retention?” What treatment kernels do we have available to us to do this in the particular context? We are aiming to perturbate the system to turn it from maladatpive to adaptive. This has to be done in the right context.  What is the network in the process that you are targeting?
