I am honestly so excited to share this week's episode because it's one that stuck with me long after we finished recording. If you have ever faced a layoff or felt the pressure of a ticking clock, you will definitely want to tune in to this conversation! My guest for this episode, Namrata Kulkarni, is a highly skilled data architect and business intelligence engineer who came to the U.S. in 2015 to pursue her master's degree at Syracuse University. Like many immigrants, her journey has not been easy, but it has shaped her into the person whom she is today, and after eight years with the same company, Namrata was laid off while on an H1B visa, which meant that she had only sixty days to land a new role or risk losing her right to stay in the country!This is pressure which most of us cannot imagine, but what really personally struck me was how Namrata responded. She skipped the shock and jumped straight into action, choosing gratitude over resentment. In her own words, “The layoff didn't happen to me—it happened for me.” I honestly had to pause when she said that because how often do any of us reframe setbacks that way?!Listen in as Namrata opens up about the challenges of job hunting for the first time outside of her company, relearning how to interview, and wrestling with whether or not to tell her family that she had been laid off. There is also a vulnerable moment in which she talks about the well-meaning but unhelpful things people say such as “I'm so sorry” which simply don't land the way people tend to think that they do. (Speaking as someone who's been laid off more than once, I personally felt that deeply.)What is especially inspiring here is not just that she landed one job offer but TWO in a job market that is anything but stable right now, and she did it by focusing on what was in her control - preparation, mindset, and leaning on the relationships that she had built over the years.If you are facing uncertainty, dealing with a career change, and/or supporting someone who is, you will definitely take something away from this episode, and if you haven't yet, I also highly recommend that you check out or revisit episode 43 of the show in which I speak with Rebecca Reeder, a pastor-turned-AI analyst who offers yet another incredible career story! Thanks for listening and being part of these conversations!Episode Highlights: [2:02] - Namrata reveals that she has been in the data industry for almost 10 years.[4:42] - Speak from the heart, and don't expect anything back.[5:41] - Hear how, moving to the U.S. in 2015, Namrata grew independent and grateful for her journey.[8:13] - Embracing her layoff, Namrata felt gratitude, trusting her instincts and cherishing SCOR's support.[11:04] - Namrata shares how her colleagues' support affirmed her skills, inspiring her to seek new opportunities.[12:24] - I point out how the layoff was a chance for Namrata to reinvent herself.[13:13] - Thanks to support and extra preparation time, Namrata took on interviews under intense pressure.[16:20] - Hear how Namrata overcame shame and networked tirelessly.[17:45] - Refining her skills and her resume, Namrata trusted the universe while pushing through interview anxiety.[20:03] - Truly believing that she was the right fit, Namrata practiced relentlessly until confidence replaced interview anxiety.[22:40] - Namrata argues that performing well requires pursuing what truly excites and energizes you.[25:25] - Starting at Amazon feels surreal for Namrata, with her focus now on learning and effectively contributing.[26:38] - Life's serendipity often redirects plans.[28:15] - Namrata credits her network in helping her land interviews, proving that referrals and support make a difference.Links & Resources:Email Gary: gary@garydanoff.comGary Danoff LinkedInLHH LinkedInNamrata Kulkarni LinkedInWhat's Next Now! - “From Pastor to AI Ethicist”

Disagreements can become divisions very quickly in the modern world. How do we walk the tightrope of truth without alienating the very ones we are trying to reach? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we took a look at the so-called “cancel culture” mentality of today and our guest shared some practical guidance on how to see our own blind spots when it comes to engaging others as well as how to speak truth in winsome and effective ways. From Pastor to Congressman our guest shared his personal journey and gave a dire reminder of the importance of the ballot box when it comes to preserving the hard fought liberties that we too often take for granted in the United States. How do believers stand on truth against the seemingly logical and impenetrable arguments of atheists and other skeptics? We heard from one of our favorite apologist who used his training as a lawyer to teach us how to recognize and address some of their biggest arguments and how to respond with God’s unchanging truth. The rancor of partisan politics can often be a deterrent to getting involved in the political matters affecting our nation. But even through all that noise God is still in control and He has a role for his people to play in governmental affairs. Our guest took us back to scripture to clear up the confusion and give us clear, biblical guidance on what good government looks like and the role God has called His people to play in it. Mounting tensions around the world keep the news cycle humming on a daily basis. But thanks to the clear guidance of our favorite husband and wife team, we continue to learn how dissect and find the truth in top headlines of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Days don't get much happier than spending them in Donny Most's good company. What fun this was! Don ran the gamut from how he got to be Ralph Malph on Happy Days, not the role he auditioned for, turning it down, and getting a persuasive bump from Garry Marshall; backtracked to The Jolson Story and how it changed his life. His training and launch with a Borscht Belt revue, which crazily I saw, his sleepaway camp best friend who a few years later became my longtime boyfriend… more Happy Days––the show which became family, and a traveling softball team, his relationships with each of his costars, close encounters with his baseball hero, and his singing and acting idols; becoming a director, theatre, and finding his way back to his original passion, singing standards, recording Mostly Swinging and performing in venues around the map. In LA, you can catch Donny (I can't help it!) at Catalina Jazz Club, on Saturday. August 14th. Stick around after the show for a warm, friendly, hello. I trust he'll be happy to sign a CD, too. Not sure I know anyone nicer. Donny previewed his current and upcoming projects, 8 of them! What pandemic?!? From Pastor to Polygamist, the roles are widely varied. Lost Heart and MBF (aka Man's Best Friend) are streaming now on Amazon. Loved every minute with this wonderful human I adore. The conversation was as smooth as the songs he sings.

Welcome to our Podcast! We have just began a new Christmas series featuring thought provoking messages about the most important event that has happened in the history of the creation! That is the First Advent Of JESUS the Son of GOD!! Please prepare to listen the next several lessons to learn more about this most wonderful season and things pertaining to the Incarnation of God in the flesh! Merry Christmas! From Pastor and Lady Hope ! Old Testament Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:15 (KJV) Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. New Testament Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:17 - 25 (KJV) Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. The Birth of Jesus Christ Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Mat 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Mat 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: Mat 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/landis-fisher/support
Full-time ministry, and specially the call to be a Pastor is a calling that comes with many challenges. So what happens when you realise 'the calling' wasn't for you? Or at least that's what our guest thought. From Pastor to missionary to starting a church plant, the 'calling' is always a calling, it just doesn't always look the same.

Steve Austin is a life coach and spiritual companion who believes everyone's story matters. He's passionate about an integrated approach to wholeness, including: mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. As he says, he thinks anyone who wants a second chance should be met with messy grace. In short, Steve helps overwhelmed people find God at the intersection of faith and mental health. Why does he do this? As you'll find out in the episode, Steve, a former pastor, found himself overcome by the impact of repressed memories of a childhood trauma he never dealt with while simultaneously being overwhelmed by the pain others were bringing to him as a pastor and counselor. In a moment, alone in a hotel room, Steve decided he had had enough in life. What he went through from there is what brought him to his "here", which we talk about in a very powerful episode of the show. Key Points from the Episode with Steve Austin: Steve is a family man first and foremost, being a husband and father. His work today puts him at the intersection of Faith and Mental Health as a life coach, author, speaker, podcasters (called Catching Your Breath). It’s about connecting with people who feel overwhelmed and get past that. For Steve, he was a pastor who nearly died by suicide seven years ago, and got to know God much more closely through the journey to discover his true self after that. Steve grew up in the Southern Pentecostal Christian world, which was very charismatic and very much about being like “us”. If you struggle, it must be about spiritual weakness, so just pray harder. That meant for Steve, things he was struggling with weren’t things he could get professional help for. This meant he felt invisible and left alone in his pain. Those “things” include being sexually abused as a child, and his parents decided not to go to the authorities but rather to threaten the perpetrator. They figured Steve would not remember what happened because he was so young, and their threat would protect him from it happening again. And they were right for a long time - he didn’t remember until he had a flashback in high school during a field trip when he just broke down. Despite the flash back, the reason why he had it still wasn’t talked about and continued to be suppressed for the next dozen years until his suicide attempt at 29. He had other flashbacks along the way, including one when he was working at a 911 center in a support capacity where he had a panic attack. That lead him to get on medication for his panic disorder, which helped a bit, but not enough as he still wasn’t addressing the issue. At 29, he was alone in a hotel room, which was not a good situation for someone in depression. Being alone and withdrawn will make it worse, and it did. Steve believed the lie that he was a burden on his family, and that things would be better if he didn’t exist anymore. He woke up in an ICU after taking an overdose of pills. In the wake of that, therapy finally began, and he started to work on becoming a whole person. Steve learned how to tell the truth after that, and that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. Worse than the depression or PTSD was the shame. Steve dealt with so many feelings of not being enough – not man enough, Christian enough, strong enough, etc. We get caught up in all of our labels, and pass judgment, but the truth is, we’re all human beings. We all suffer. We all have trouble. No one is immune to it, and no one needs to feel “less than” for going through it. We talked about the religious question of what happens to someone’s soul if they commit suicide. What Steve thinks is that we’re asking the wrong question. The person already is living in Hell, so it’s not about that. The question is what we do if we’re in the midst of these thoughts, and what we do for those in the midst of those thoughts. How can we be more open about it and therefore supportive. In the wake of his experience, Steve has stopped his full time work as a pastor, and instead works to help educate and foster people’s ability to connect to what they’ve been through and free themselves of shame. He puts out good questions about what we share and don’t, who are the friends who should be in our inner circle (and will call us out or raise concern about where we’re at), and being open to going to therapy. Vicarious trauma that hits many of us in helping professions (teachers, pastors, police officers, firemen, therapists, medical professionals, etc), we absorb the hurt of others, and should really be doing therapy work ourselves. Getting over the sense of having to be perfect and recognizing that we all need. And that’s ok.
