Largely because the industry is full of BS and does not benefit the consumer. I started creating videos on how finance worked through being honest and authentic about the financial system does to people.I quickly realised that the people wanted authenticity but yet the existing financial system did not benefit people for being authentic. The advertising model of the corporations had it's fingers in everything and did not benefit your average on guy on the street.So I decided to build Creatria a social commerce application that put the financial control back in the hands of its creators and users rather than the big tech advertising model. If listeners want to understand how much the financial system is crippling our lives, lowering our consciousness and be introduced to a new system which puts the people first, I know I would provide an interesting conversation and insight.https://ae.linkedin.com/in/nathanmcfarlanehttps://www.creatria.app/----------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast

On this Freedom Friday, Karl and Crew concluded the weekly theme of sober-mindedness with a discussion on surrendering. When we surrender to Jesus, we are freed from the bondage of sin because He takes the burden from us. We discuss this in reference to Matthew 11:28-30 and John 3:16. Are you still carrying the weight of sin, or have you surrendered it to Him? One of our special guests, Gina Cavallo, shared her surrender to Christ after enduring years of physical and sexual abuse by human traffickers. Now, she’s the founder and director of the survivor-led nonprofit Paying it Forward Foundation, also known as We RISE USA. She also authored the book "A Survivor’s Secret". We also had the Vice President of Student Life and Enrollment at Moody Bible Institute (MBI), Dr. William Washington. He shared how MBI equips students to receive and share the truth of the Gospel.

What happens when your frontline employees are tired of apologizing on behalf of the company? When public perception isn't in your favor? This was the reality Oscar Munoz faced when he took the role of CEO and chairman of United Airlines in 2015. So he went back to basics, embarking on an extensive listening tour with thousands of employees — and in time, things turned for the better. We sat down with Oscar to learn about that journey, what's changed since and the value of deploying this strategy. Oscar will lead a spotlight session at IABC World Conference 2024, “Leadership Is an Act of Extended Storytelling.” The format will be part fireside chat and part town hall, to which Oscar says in this episode: “Bring it!” Bring your best questions, ask him about failure and get ready for a refreshing way to kick off your time at World Conference. Tune in to this inspiring conversation and make plans to see Oscar this June in Chicago.  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Oscar Munoz is the former CEO and chairman of United Airlines (UAL) and serves on the board of directors of Salesforce, CBRE, TelevisaUnivision, and Archer Aviation, a leading Urban Air Mobility company and developer of all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft. He serves on the Pentagon's Defense Business Board, is a trustee of the University of Southern California and the Brookings Institution, as well as an independent trustee for Fidelity. He is the author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling memoir, “Turnaround Time: Uniting an Airline and its Employees in the Friendly Skies,” published by Harper Business in May 2023. He is co-chair of the 2023 Blue Ribbon Commission for the National Association of Corporate Directors, the authority on best boardroom practices. Since 2022, the Oscar and Cathy Munoz Pave it Forward Foundation has proudly partnered with the American Heart Association (AHA) to create the AHA's Social Impact Fund, providing financial grants and low interest loans for evidence-based, community-driven work to address heart health inequality. Under his leadership, United Airlines demonstrated rapid improvement, delivering industry-leading operational reliability, and sustained financial success, with stock value increasing 54 percent during that period. Munoz formally retired as UAL's executive chairman in May 2021. Previously, Munoz served as president and chief operating officer of the North American rail-based transportation supplier CSX Corp. A decade of excellent financial performance, including a boost in operating income of nearly 600 percent, earned CSX recognition on the list of Most Honored Companies by Institutional Investor magazine. He has served in various financial leadership positions across diverse industries, including U.S. West, AT&T, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo.  He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business and an MBA from Pepperdine's Graziadio Business School. Hispanic Business magazine twice named Munoz one of its 100 Most Influential Hispanics, honoring his journey as an immigrant who, to this date, remains the only person of Hispanic heritage to run a U.S. airline. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ LINKS Mentioned in This Episode "Leadership Is an Act of Extended Storytelling”: A Fireside Chat and Town Hall With Oscar Munoz IABC World Conference 2024 “Turnaround Time: Uniting an Airline and its Employees in the Friendly Skies,” by Oscar Munoz Connect With IABC on social media https://twitter.com/iabc https://www.linkedin.com/company/iabc/ https://www.facebook.com/IABCWorld  https://www.youtube.com/user/IABClive https://www.instagram.com/iabcgram/ Visit IABC Online https://www.iabc.com/ https://catalyst.iabc.com/ https://wc.iabc.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iabc/message

Renowned menstrual educator Sinu Joseph joins me in this episode to discuss her fascinating book - Rtu Vidyā: Ancient Science behind Menstrual Practices.  You might be wondering how menstruation is a spiritual topic? Sinu's book takes a deep dive into explaining the scientific and logical reasons behind how spiritual practices impact female physiology. An understanding of the science behind menstrual practices can help women prevent menstrual difficulties, develop a positive attitude towards menstruation, and learn how to work in sync with nature's cycles. This book was an eye-opening read, and I encourage you to listen with an open mind.   In this episode we specifically talk about: Prana, and why entering temples and chanting mantras is a no, no during menstruation.  Sinu explains why there are no mantras women can chant during menstruation. I was very surprised by the answers, particularly on the breakdown on the chanting of Om

***CONTENT WARNING - THIS EPISODE FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS OF A CRIME AGAINST A CHILD***At about 4 PM on September 21, 2001, 32-year-old Aidan Minter was walking his usual route back home over Tower Bridge in central London. It was Friday afternoon, and usually, the area would have been filled with people. But since the 9/11 attacks had taken place a little over a week prior, not everyone felt comfortable being around major landmarks, and Aidan was crossing the bridge alone.  While he was walking, Aidan looked at the river Thames and saw driftwood floating around—and then, something else. About 20 feet away, there was something that looked like a beer barrel, but not quite. As Aidan got closer, he realised he was not looking at a piece of wood... but the torso of a little boy.If you're worried a child is at risk of or has already had FGM, call our free, anonymous dedicated FGM helpline on 0800 028 3550 or email fgm.help@nspcc.org.uk.FORWARD (Foundation for Women's Health Research and Development) is an African-led women's rights organisation who can offer guidance on emergency support and advice for those affected by FGM.The Boy in the RiverMandela's plea over torso boyTorso murder inquiry moves to NigeriaJail for torso case people smugglerVoodoo and human sacrifice: The haunting story of how Adam, the Torso in the Thames boy, was finally identifiedTorso of African boy detectives believe was killed in a ritual sacrifice before being tossed into the Thames is 'identified' by key witnessThe torso in the Thames: A 20-year mysteryFresh appeal to find torso in the Thames killerADAM: THE BOY WHOSE TORSO WAS FOUND IN THE THAMESDark mystery of boy's torso pulled from Thames after being cut up in 'ritual murder'Thames torso boy was sacrificedSpilling Realtyhilarious real-life stories from the field, top industry guests & pop culture #TeaTimeListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Hey Mama! I am so glad you are here! I am your host Jennifer James on The WHoly Mom Chat! In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, we are dedicating today's episode to single mothers and empowering them to make the changes necessary to move forward in their lives. Parenting is too important a responsibility to bear alone. Yet, so many mothers are forced to do just that due to a variety of situations. Many single moms struggle at some point as we can simply not do everything on our own. It also plays a toll on our mental health and the kid's mental health. It's in our hands to seek the support we need to function to the best of our ability and thrive instead of survive. In today's episode, I will be chatting with Andrea Starr and Mary Miller of Forward Foundation. We discuss how to empower single mothers, why good mental health is essential for moms, and Andrea's journey from an abusive relationship to being a single mother to living her best life now. If you are a single mom, please take inventory of your mental state, recognize the signs and seek professional help if you need support.

When Renee wanted to raise funds, she was disappointed that you could only raise money for non profits and not for individuals. She and her friend Ethan who had raised money for a major non-profit in a marathon, thought there should be an easier way for marathon runners to raise money for any charity—not just the registered partners. Ethan talks about how he and Renee founded Give Forward, a unique website that supports friends and family in their time of need.
