Podcasts about Fulfillment

Rip sits down with Certified High Performance Coach and author Lisa Wargofchik to talk about her book, Remarkable Routines: How Daily Habits Shape a Life of Intention and Fulfillment, and why those small, seemingly ordinary choices can add up to something pretty extraordinary.Lisa spent nearly 40 years in the employee benefits and wellness world, including leadership roles at Fortune 100 companies and consulting with organizations across the country. Today, she helps people gain more clarity, build more energy, and live with greater purpose — both at work and at home.And here's the big idea: routines aren't supposed to box you in. They can actually set you free.When the good stuff is already built into your day — movement, healthy food, time for reflection, sleep, learning, even a little fun — you don't have to keep negotiating with yourself. You don't have to wake up every morning and ask, “Am I going to do this today?” You've already made the decision.Rip and Lisa talk about how we fuel our bodies, how we start and end our days, why movement matters, how to protect our time and energy, how to shape your purpose, and how a few simple routines can help keep us grounded when life gets messy.Watch the Episode on YouTubeEpisode WebpageLearn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrongevents.com/ Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyLearn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrong.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

You hit the goal. You got the title, the revenue, the recognition. And instead of the feeling you expected, there's a quiet flatness you can't explain to anyone. In this episode, Elyse Archer unpacks why success so often lands hollow and walks through four things to look at when the outside is working but the inside isn't.You'll learn:- Why outgrowing a goal on the way to achieving it is normal, and how to give yourself permission to change course- The desert island test that reveals whether you built what you actually wanted or what you thought would make you feel worthy- Why fulfillment requires telling the truth, and what happens when you stop putting a smiley face on an empty gas tank- How to reverse-engineer your business from how you want to feel instead of what looks good on paper- The vacuum law of prosperity, and why letting go of what's not working is what makes room for what isIf you've been quietly wondering whether this is really it, this episode will help you name what's actually going on and start building toward a version of success that feels as good as it looks.✨ JOIN THE 10K CLUBElyse's program for women ready to scale to consistent 10K months and beyond → https://elysearcher.com/10kclub/

Consumer expectations around convenience have changed dramatically, especially since the pandemic. From your perspective, how has last-mile delivery evolved from a tactical fulfillment layer into something much more strategically important for brands and retailers?Many organizations still treat delivery commerce as incremental volume rather than a fundamentally different consumer behavior model. Where do you think leaders are underestimating the long-term implications?One of the biggest tensions in delivery commerce is balancing speed, profitability, and consumer experience. What operational tradeoffs are companies struggling with most right now?As delivery platforms gain more consumer data, engagement, and advertising capability, the lines between commerce, media, and loyalty are starting to blur. How should brands rethink their partnerships with delivery platforms going forward?Looking ahead, where do you think delivery commerce develops the strongest structural advantage? Does it remain primarily about convenience, or does it evolve into a much broader consumer engagement ecosystem?

In this episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy speaks to high-achieving healthcare professionals and women in dentistry who have spent years caring for patients, teams, and families, often without pausing to ask what brings them joy. She questions the idea that every worthwhile choice needs to be practical, productive, or easy to defend. Through personal reflections and a meaningful client story, Dr. Tarryn shows how following what genuinely energizes you can restore purpose, creativity, and connection.You'll also hear why guilt, pressure, and the constant urge to do more can pull you away from the things that help you feel like yourself. Happiness is not something you have to wait for after success. It may be the signal that helps guide you toward it.Show notes:(2:03) When feeling good helps you do good(6:19) Why high achievers forget their wants(14:47) Let yourself enjoy what feels good(16:06) A self-alignment framework to help dentists and healthcare professionals to reconnect with themselves beyond burnout and outside expectations.(18:58) A client follows her childhood-home feeling(23:15) Small joy can create meaningful change(25:38) Let inspiration become your life compass(28:07) Outro_______________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Empower Her Retreat:Dates: October 1–4, 2026Location: Taos, New MexicoWebsite: empowerherretreat.orgRadical Happiness for Women Dentists - https://thebizofhappiness.com/radicalhappiness/Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

Anchor Your Soul in His Majesty David Mathis Download Psalm 110,The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand,until I make your enemies your footstool.”2 The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!3 Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments;from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours.4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,“You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.6 He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses;he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.7 He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. I know Psalm 110 sounds hard to understand at the first reading. I think it is understandable with a little explaining. And it's worth it. Martin Luther said,“This beautiful psalm . . . is the very core and [heart] of the whole of Scripture. No other psalm prophecies as abundantly and completely about Christ. It portrays the Lord and his entire kingdom and is full of comfort for Christians.”Hebrews 6:19 calls this psalm “a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.” If you get Psalm 110, it is powerful for assurance. Its gives us “strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us” (Hebrews 6:18).For those in room who are not yet Christians, Psalm 110 is powerful evidence for the truth of Christianity. I saw an article just this week called “An Overlooked Argument for Christianity: Why the Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy Still Matters.” Psalm 110 stands at the confluence of two massive OT rivers of anticipation, as the messianic river of regal hope converges here with another major river of priestly anticipation.A powerful defense of the Christian faith for Christians, and challenge for unbelievers, is how Jesus fulfills in one person thousands of years of such diverse expectations. And Psalm 110 is right at the center of it.Jesus Right NowBut more than assurance and apologetics, as Luther said, this is a great psalm “full of comfort for Christians.” Cities Church, it's been an unusual 2026. I really believe that God gave us what we could not have expected that we might know his Son better. At least that.And here at the end of the summer, he gives us this spectacular vision of our Lord in Psalm 110. This is what we need most right now, a fresh vision of the majesty of Christ, as he is right now, seated in glory and power, worthy of your confidence and full trust.What God wants us to see this morning is that our Lord Jesus is infinitely great. And it's one thing to say that and move on. It's another to say it and then try to back it up with details from Psalm 110; that is, to say and linger over it; to make the general declaration “Jesus is infinitely great” and then explain it, explore it, develop it, give specifics, get fresh glimpses, and real tastes, and perhaps ones we're not used to talking about all the time.So, let's enjoy four sights of the majesty of Jesus, right now, full of comfort for Cities Church.1. Your Lord has conquered and is ruling. (vv. 1, 4)Psalm 110 makes two stunning moves, both declaration from God. The first is verse 1, right out of the gate:The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”This is an enthronement declaration to a new king, from the mouth of God himself: Sit (on the throne) at my right hand (in the greatest possible place of honor), while I put your enemies under his feet. That is, God (the LORD) will make this king's enemies to serve him, to prop his feet up. The surprise is that David is the king, and we would think he has no lord other than God himself. What does David mean that he has a “Lord” other than the LORD? We'll come back to that.The second surprising move is Verse 4:The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind,“You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” What's so stunning is that in Israel, the kingship and the priesthood were strictly two different offices. They were expressly not to be joined. Kings, like David, were from the tribe of Judah. Priests, like Aaron (Moses's brother), were from the tribe of Levi.Psalm 110 is clearly from king David, addressed to a future king, and in verse 4, David says God does the imponderable: he declares to the king, You are a priest.Which brings us to this strange Melchizedek figure. Outside of Psalm 110 and the book of Hebrews, he is only mentioned briefly in Genesis 14. In the days of Abraham, four kings from the east came and fought with five kings near Abraham and took his nephew Lot. So, Abraham gathered his trained men and pursued the four kings and overtook them and defeated them. When Abraham returned home with all the spoils, this strange king-priest from Salem (Jerusalem) brings out bread and wine, and blesses Abraham in the name of God Most High. And Abraham acknowledges him and gives him a tenth (a tithe) of the spoils. And that's it. Three verses, and nothing more about this enigmatic Melchizedek.Until David comes along, a thousand years later, sitting as king in Jerusalem, reading Genesis 14 and realizing there was once a king-priest who ruled over this city. David himself would not dare play priest. Saul had tried that and received God's judgment (1 Samuel 13): his kingdom would not continue but be given to “a man after his own heart” (who would be David). But David has received promises from God about his dynasty enduring forever, and always having a son on his throne (2 Samuel 7).Under the terms of the first covenant, under the order of Aaron, king-priest was strictly forbidden. Kings are kings. Priests are priests. But in Psalm 110, David has a vision of a new day when one of his sons will be greater than him (because of God's promise) and that son will not only be king (ruling the people) but priest (making atonement for their sin), like this Melchizedek was. Which must mean a new covenant. (The NT book of Hebrews is essentially an extended meditation on this.)The big deal about a king also being priest is that the heart of the priest's work is offering sacrifices for sin. Making atonement for the people. Kings rule through making laws, enforcing justice, rendering judgments; priests serve the people by offering sacrifices to cover sin, so that a sinful people can have peace with a holy God.What's mainly in view in the king being priest is his making atonement for sin. And the significance of the priesthood for Jesus is that his sacrifice is done. At the cross, he made the perfect sacrifice once for all, and so with his work complete, the Father declares, Sit at my right hand.So, Jesus has conquered. He has made the final sacrifice for sin as the great high priest, and he is presently ruling on heaven's throne as the universe's king.Some of us love especially his kingship: his power and authority, his strategy and decisiveness; his wisdom and perfect justice as the Lion of Judah. Others of us, especially love his priesthood: his compassion and holiness; his sympathy and sacrifice as the Lamb who was slain. We all need both. Amazingly Jesus is both.2. Your Lord never grows old or gets tired. (vv. 3, 7)This is a wonder, and such good news. Look first at the second part of verse 3, which may be “the most obscure verse in the whole Psalter.”“…from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours.”Dew and morning, and womb and youth, capture the prime of life: youthful vigor, energy, and strength; the vitality and fresh hope of a new day. In other words, your Lord doesn't grow old and frail; he doesn't slow down with age.One great irony, in our fallen world, that when we're young, we have energy but not yet our best wisdom, and as we grow our wisest, our energy begins to fail us.My dad was a dentist for more than 40 years. As he approached age 70, his knowledge and experience in dentistry was at its height, and yet his energy was declining. His tank got empty quicker. All the knowledge was there and better than ever, but his energy was flagging.And I know a great Christian counselor, here in our church, who was as wise and knowledgeable as he's ever been, at the very top of his game in the counseling field, but as he approached 70, he realized he could not keep doing what he'd once done for 40+ hours week. He's now retired. And still one of the wisest men I know.And I've known a great aging preacher, who knows the Bible and the human heart better than he ever has, and is as skilled in preparing and delivering sermons as he's ever been. But at 80, he does not have the same vigor and energy as he did at 50. Every great leader grows old, and often it's right when he's at his best.But Cities Church, this is not the story of your Lord. And it never will be. There's no transition plan for Jesus. The dew of his youth is still his. It's still morning for his reign, and no evening is coming. He is full of wisdom, greater than Solomon, and full of vigor and life, greater than any Olympian or warrior.Which leads to verse 7, the last line:“He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head.”The picture is of a great hero who has expended himself in battle, and as the enemy retreats and he hunts him down, God gives him water on the way, to refresh him, and keep him going.Like Gideon in Judges 8:4:“Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over, he and the 300 men who were with him, exhausted yet pursuing.”Or like Samson in Judges 15:18–19, after he struck down 1000 men with the jawbone of a donkey:[Samson] was very thirsty, and he called upon the Lord and said, “You have granted this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and shall I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 19 And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out from it. And when he drank, his spirit returned, and he revived.Verse 7 is a picture of Jesus hunting down the enemy, and being continually refreshed by his Father to keep up the pursuit.Some of us have been wearied in various ways by the challenges of 2026. Or in whatever ways you might be weary going into the fall. We grow old; we get weary; Jesus does not. And in his ever renewing strength he stands ready to renew ours.3. Your Lord is God himself in our own humanity. (vv. 5-7)This truth is so spectacular that it almost cheapens it to put it into words. It's the answer to some of the Bible's most piercing questions. Like when Jesus calms the sea, and the disciples say, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?In Matthew 22 (Mark 12; Luke 20), Jesus asks the Pharisees, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, [Psalm 110:1]44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet” '? 45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” (42-45)Then verse 46 reports:“And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.”Why is that? The missing piece for us is the assumption in the ancient world that a father is greater than his son. The father sired the son; father came first, and from his life and marriage came a son. So, the older generation is greater than the subsequent ones.Yet what Jesus points out is that David is speaking about one of his offspring, but calls him “my Lord.” How can that be? And Jesus leaves it at that. He doesn't need to give the answer with his mouth, because he is the living embodiment of the answer as a son of David and the divine Son. (Calvin says it well: “There is something in Christ more excellent than his humanity, on account of which he is called the Lord of David his father.”)Jesus is so plainly human, standing before the Pharisees in human flesh and blood, in a body he will give to be broken at the cross and blood he will shed as a sacrifice to atone for sins. He is manifestly human (he drinks from the brook!). Yet, he is so much more. This is God himself, the second person of the triune Godhead, among us as one of us. Which is why he is Lord of all, even King David.Psalm 110 gives us an amazing coming together of God himself and his anointed king. See it first in verse 5:“The Lord (God) is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.”In verse 1, in heaven's throne room, the king was the God's right hand. Now, on the battlefield, God is at the king's right hand. And he (God or human king?) will crush kings on the day of his (God's or king's?) wrath.Verse 6 continues:6 He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs [the head]over the wide earth. Is it God or the king who shatters kings and executes judgment, and fills unbelieving nations with corpses? The ambiguity is on purpose. The LORD God and Lord king act as one. There's an intentional conflation of God and the coming king.Especially significant is that last part of verse 6. Our translation has “he will shatter chiefs,” but the word for “chiefs” is singular and the same word as “head” at the end of verse 7. So, verse 6 could read, “he will shatter (or crush) the head.” Which sounds like God's word of curse to the serpent in Genesis 3, that a coming offspring of the woman (and now offspring of David) “shall bruise your head.”Cities Church, the greatness of our Lord Jesus as God himself in our own humanity defies easy articulation. “Jesus is God” just doesn't do it. It doesn't capture the glory. We ache to say more. The best language is the language of worship: to declare him great, to say out loud he's worthy, to sing there is none like him. Our Lord is great beyond description, marvelous beyond our grasping for words. Which is why our gathering here every Sunday to worship Jesus, despite whatever opposition his enemies throw at us, is the most important thing we do week in and week out. Oh don't take this gathering lightly. We are here to worship Jesus — God himself in our own humanity.4. Your Lord shatters his enemies and thrills his people. (2-3a)Finally, verses 2–3a:“The LORD sends forth from Zionyour mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! 3 Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments.”At the seam between verses 2 and 3 is the critical distinction between “your enemies” and “your people.”We saw in verse 1 that God declares he will make “your enemies” a prop for Jesus's feet. Now in verse 2: “Rule in the midst of your enemies.” And note that it is no flaw in Jesus that he has enemies; in fact, it would be a flaw if he didn't.Those who reject this infinitely great person of Psalm 110 will not escape the day of his righteous wrath. Reject his priestly work, and there is no other sacrifice for sin; you will have nothing to shield you from what your sins deserve before the holy God.The day is coming when Jesus will have the honor of executing perfect judgment among the nations. He will do no wrong in righting every wrong. Which means no punishment for sin will be too severe; nor will it be too light. The only escape is to embrace the king of the universe as your own sacrifice.And those who do embrace him as Lord, verse 3a says, “offer themselves freely.” In other words, no coercion. No arm-twisting. Jesus's people do not declare him Lord through gritted teeth. They rally to him from the heart. They adore him. They obey from the heart, with overflowing joy.Don't miss this, Cities Church, as his people: our joy really matters. Our offering ourselves freely plays a part in this vision of his majesty in Psalm 110. Vital to how the king-priest looks great is that his people “offer themselves freely.” He doesn't force them. He wins us from the heart, and Jesus looks great in our joy in him. Our willing, glad service to him glorifies him.Receive His Bread and WineAnd so we come to the Table to receive bread and wine from our king-priest in the order of Melchizedek. The Lion is our king. The Lamb is our priest. He never grows old or gets tired. He is far greater than we can even say, and so we worship. And he is the one who thrills our hearts and has won our glad allegiance.

Jesus said he did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them. In Matthew 5:17-20, we see Christ's purpose, the enduring authority of God's Word, and the call to a righteousness that only Christ can provide. Because Jesus fulfilled the Law, we can trust, obey, and rejoice in him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

On this episode of Millennial Millionaire, Steven Cohen sits down with Paul Smith—entrepreneur, investor, educator, author, and co-founder of the Art of Wealth Institute. Paul shares how leaving home at 17 with £170, surviving a life-threatening illness, and buying his first property as a teenager shaped more than four decades of learning how wealth is created, protected, and transferred. Paul explains why earning money is not the same as becoming wealthy, how property taught him to use financial leverage, and why his “one for me, one for you” strategy dramatically accelerated his portfolio. He also breaks down the mindset required to ask better questions, buy back your time, build a business that can operate without you, and move from concentration toward a more balanced approach across assets and jurisdictions. The conversation explores the path from the first million to eight and nine figures, compound growth, private equity, how to evaluate wealth advisers, and why fulfillment depends on aligning work with your highest values. Paul closes with the three lessons he would give his younger self: find mentors earlier, remove mental blocks around responsible leverage, and diversify sooner. This conversation is educational and reflects the speakers' experiences. It is not personalized financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

Are you exhausted from over-giving and over-doing? Do you tend to look to others for validation or lean into people-pleasing behaviors? If so, you're in solid company. From childhood forward, many of us learn to tend to others' needs to feel valuable and worthy. And from my experience, these hardwired habits can foster perfectionism, enmeshment, and dependency--and even open the door to being exploited by thoughtless or self-serving people. Yet I've found that small changes over time can foster the awareness and inner strength you need to create healthy habits and set yourself free. Today, we're joined by a fabulous guest who specializes in helping others gain self-worth from within--instead of from others.Topics discussed include emotional outsourcing, perfectionism, self-care, self-love, habit change, midlife crisis, perimenopause, menopause, life changes, role changes, codependency, red flags, neurolinguistics, GABA, boundaries, marriage, children, parenting, healthy relationships, reciprocity, mutuality, and grief.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Improving mental health involves not only addressing illness, but also identifying and developing the positive qualities that help us flourish. In search of more information about what these qualities are and how to develop them, Emily and I will be studying a foundational textbook on Positive Psychology.The book is called Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification, Volume 1 (Christopher Peterson and Martin E. P. Seligman, 2004). In this podcast, we discuss how  creativity may contribute to fulfillment, resilience, and what positive psychologists describe as “the good life.” Other character strengths will be covered in future podcasts.Our conversation takes a closer look at creativity as a character strength—and how it's much more than being artistic. From problem-solving and divergent thinking to writing, photography, and everyday ingenuity, creativity appears in many different forms.We also discuss how childhood experiences, education, stress, external criticism, intelligence, and personality may influence how creativity develops and is expressed. In this episode, discover:1. What is Positive Psychology?2. Character Strengths and the idea of “the good life.”3. Creativity as a positive character strength.4. Everyday creativity vs. the “Big C” creativity.5. Divergent vs. convergent thinking.6. Creativity's relationship to intelligence and personality.7. How childhood and environment can influence creativity.8. Creativity as a coping skill.9. Why creativity goes far beyond just being artistic.10. How to recognize and nurture creativity in yourself and others.This episode ultimately encourages listeners to value their own creativity, give it room to develop, and appreciate its importance in one's holistic approach to wellness.Support the showTo sustain my work as a holistic psychiatrist and support my efforts to improve psychiatric treatment for all through my podcasts, articles, website, and YouTube channel, please show your appreciation and help champion holistic psychiatry by clicking HERE to contribute!Click here to listen to all of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast episodesContact here to email Dr. Lee directly.

Read OnlineMomentary and Lasting Fulfillment“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.” Matthew 24:46–47In the verse that follows, Jesus contrasts the “faithful and prudent servant” with a “wicked servant.” The wicked servant is the one who says in his heart, “My master is long delayed.” Believing this, he acts sinfully. Convinced that his master's return is far off, the wicked servant lowers his guard, mistreats others, indulges in excess, and neglects his responsibilities. Why? Because he foolishly concludes that such a way of living is more desirable than a life of fidelity. This deceptive reasoning is rooted in a lie and ultimately leads to misery and destruction.Most people do not choose sin because they desire misery. Rather, they sin because they fail to grasp the surpassing worth and eternal reward of holiness. They mistakenly believe—often without full awareness—that sin will bring greater satisfaction. On a superficial and momentary level, that may seem to be the case. It is easier to indulge the flesh, lash out in anger, or ignore one's duties than it is to practice virtue, self-restraint, and discipline.But is that which is easier necessarily better? More pointedly, is the path of least resistance ever the road to deep and lasting fulfillment? The Gospel offers a clear answer: no. The faithful and prudent servant, who labors with diligence even during the master's absence, is the one to whom the master will entrust everything. The reward of fidelity far exceeds the fleeting comforts of sin. What appears easier often leads to ruin, while the more demanding path of virtue leads to glory.This truth is easy to affirm intellectually but much harder to live out daily. To live faithfully, diligently, and prudently requires perseverance and sacrifice. But it is always worth it—both in the present moment and in eternity. Consider the present moment: Though sin may tempt us with immediate pleasure, the peace that flows from doing God's will is far greater than any passing pleasure that sin offers. Those who embrace a life of virtue become increasingly aware of God's abiding presence and the dignity it confers. This spiritual joy far surpasses the shallow consolations of sin.As time moves forward, the contrast becomes even more striking. The one who chooses faithfulness day after day becomes like a flourishing vine, bearing fruit in abundance. As virtue matures, temptation loses its grip, and the soul becomes deeply rooted in truth. On the other hand, those who live for momentary indulgence discover that even sinful pleasures lose their appeal. The soul, unsatisfied, becomes restless—seeking ever more desperate forms of gratification.Hence, holiness offers far greater fulfillment than sin. While this may be easy to affirm in theory, it is often difficult to live out in practice. That is why it is essential to begin with firm conviction by acknowledging that the life of virtue, though demanding, brings rewards that far surpass the fleeting comforts of sin. We must let this truth take root in our minds, speak it with confidence, choose it with intention, and allow it to shape our actions gradually and faithfully. Spiritual maturity does not unfold overnight; it grows steadily, like a fruitful vine that is nourished by one faithful choice at a time.Reflect today on how this truth challenges any habits or temptations that lead you down the easier path of self-indulgence. Consider where compromise may have crept into your daily life, and resolve instead to be the faithful and prudent servant, living with integrity, even when no one is watching. This is the way of holiness and the path to peace, authentic joy, and eternal glory in the presence of your Master.My Lord and Master, the holiness to which I am called, demands vigilance, fidelity, and prudence, day and night. You continuously come to me, offering the grace I need to live according to Your will. May I be like the faithful and prudent servant, always ready to give an account of my life, and may I find joy and true satisfaction in daily obedience to You.

If Amazon is already handling your pick, pack, and ship, why are you juggling a separate fulfillment setup for TikTok Shop sales? I was reading a Google News piece earlier, and here's the scoop: Amazon's Multi-Channel Fulfillment is now accessible through TikTok Shop via nine connector apps. This isn't just a tech update, it's a shift for operators managing brands at every level. Picture a brand doing around $40,000 a month. They hit a decision point: use Amazon's fulfillment power across channels or drown in operational chaos. Here's the playbook: Audit your current MCF eligibility before diving into TikTok Shop. Not every SKU in your FBA catalog is ready for Multi-Channel Fulfillment. Categories matter. If you're eyeing TikTok Shop but dread a second fulfillment nightmare, this episode's for you.

In this broadcast message presented by For Zion's Sake, Shelley and June Volk delve into the necessity of maintaining a heavenly perspective amid life's trials. Exploring Hebrews 3:1–6, they highlight the distinction between Moses as a servant in God's house and Christ as the divine Builder of the spiritual temple—a house formed by believers living as "living stones." The discussion underscores the call to hold fast to faith, overcome worldly difficulties through the Holy Spirit, and endure firmly until the end. Key Takeaways: Perceiving with Spiritual Mindset: To "consider" Jesus requires discerning with spiritual thought and understanding rather than evaluating circumstances through mere natural senses. The Living Temple: Moses followed instructions to erect a physical tabernacle (Exodus 40:16), but Jesus builds a spiritual house made of believers acting as "living stones" indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Fulfillment of Prophecy: Jesus fulfills the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:18 as the ultimate Prophet raised up by God whose words must be heeded. Enduring Faith: Drawing from the example of Israel's journey, where only a faithful remnant (Joshua and Caleb) entered the promised land, believers are called to maintain a steadfast, heavenly view and endure to the end (Matthew 24:13). Featured Bible Passages: Hebrews 3:1–6 – Jesus as the High Priest, Apostle, and divine Builder of God's house. Deuteronomy 18:18 – God's promise of a coming prophet like Moses. 1 Peter 2:4–5 – Believers as living stones built into a spiritual house. Matthew 24:13 – The call to endure until the end. Revelation 3:21 – The promise to those who overcome. Support the show: https://shellyandjunevolk.com/product/partner-with-us-psalm-127-fund/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your brain is either getting stronger or getting weaker. There is no neutral, gentlemen. Today Jim Kwik breaks down why comfort, convenience, and cognitive offloading to AI are quietly making men mentally soft, and what it actually takes to build what he calls "cognitive reserve" which is the difference between a man who stays sharp, independent, and capable as he ages and one who doesn't. We get into why peace comes from capacity, not comfort, why self-trust is built by keeping promises to yourself instead of anybody else, and Jim's personal framework for using AI to sharpen your thinking instead of replacing it. If you feel like your focus is slipping, your discipline softening, or your identity too wrapped up in a job title that could be taken from you tomorrow, this episode might be the reset.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Shift from Achievement to Fulfillment 03:51 Avoiding Modern Distractions & Media Outrage 06:00 Developing Mental Sovereignty in the Age of Information 08:20 The Danger of Cognitive Surrender to AI 11:35 Comfort Crisis and the Value of Struggle 14:01 Building Human Intelligence Through Challenge 18:44 How Modern Conveniences Weaken Mental Muscles 21:33 Navigating Difficult Conversations & Growth 25:50 Building Self-Trust by Keeping Promises 28:08 Character, Wealth Transfer, and Raising Resilient Kids 31:00 Understanding Cognitive Reserve and Brain Health 35:21 Cognitive Offloading vs. Building Real Intelligence 37:40 The B.U.I.L.D.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Charlie D. Becker, a second-generation bookseller whose family runs Houston's largest used and rare bookstore, to unpack the viral tweet that had people convinced AI companies were secretly buying up used books to train their models. Charlie walks through what he actually found in his own warehouse orders, why the more likely explanation is old-fashioned reseller arbitrage and FBA "bookjacking" rather than AI training data, and how that story connects to the real, well-documented case of Anthropic scanning and destroying physical books for legal reasons. From there the conversation moves into the difference between rare and valuable books, the discoverability problem in the used book market, historical parallels like palimpsests and lost texts, his own AI tool for used bookstores, and broader questions about wealthy patronage funding independent research and passion projects.

Charlie D. Becker is a second generation bookseller whose family runs Houston's largest used and rare bookstore, and he is currently building an AI tool specifically designed for used bookstores. He became widely known after a tweet he wrote about AI companies potentially purchasing books went viral with approximately one and a half million impressions, though he emphasizes the importance of being careful about distinguishing between what he has directly observed, what is on public record, and what is his intuition or speculation about these events.2. The controversy around Anthropic and book destruction centers on how AI companies acquire training data from physical books. Court documents revealed that Anthropic acquired physical books in mass quantities to scan them, and they were industrially slicing the spines off to make scanning faster and easier. The legal justification for this practice was that because they destroyed the original physical book after scanning it, they were not violating copyright law since no duplicate copy existed alongside the original. A judge ruled this was technically legal, even though it appeared problematic to many observers, because the destruction of the original meant they were not running afoul of copyright provisions about making copies for distribution.3. Becker received unusual bulk orders for obscure books through a non-Amazon platform in late April, which led him to investigate whether AI companies were responsible for these purchases. However, after analyzing the pattern of purchases and where the books were being shipped, he concluded that a more mundane explanation was likely at work: sophisticated book arbitrage operations. These operations identify books selling cheaply on one platform that could be listed for higher prices on Amazon through Fulfillment by Amazon warehouses, and books that do not sell eventually get recycled or liquidated anyway, meaning rare books are being destroyed through normal commercial operations regardless of whether AI companies are involved.4. The main technical challenge Becker is solving with his AI tool relates to books printed before 1970, which lack ISBNs or International Standard Book Numbers. Modern book cataloging systems are built around ISBNs, which makes it extremely difficult and time-consuming to catalog older books for online sale since there is no automated way to populate bibliographic data for pre-1970 books. His tool uses computer vision and AI to analyze photographs of book covers, title pages, and copyright pages to automatically generate rich bibliographic metadata, and he has partnered with a PhD AI computer vision specialist to develop this technology over the past year.5. A surprising discovery during the development of this cataloging tool was that the existing data for many older books is extremely poor, inconsistent, or completely absent from major databases. For approximately a quarter of the books they process, the only existing records might be an incomplete eBay listing from years ago or a sparse entry in WorldCat, the interlibrary database. This means that rather than simply aggregating existing data, they are actually creating canonical records for many books that will become the authoritative source that others reference, essentially building new infrastructure for book metadata rather than just accessing what already exists.6. Becker advocates strongly for the preservation of obscure and seemingly unimportant books because while they may not have obvious value today, future researchers, tinkerers, or engineers might need them to solve problems we have not yet encountered. He compares this to historical palimpsests where important ancient texts were accidentally preserved when medieval scribes wrote over them, noting that the internet functions more like a palimpsest than an archive since we constantly overwrite and lose information rather than truly preserving it. The current system for deciding which books get preserved or destroyed is essentially random and driven purely by short-term profit motives rather than any thoughtful consideration of potential future value or historical significance.7. The long-term vision for the project extends beyond simple cataloging to creating a comprehensive knowledge graph that distinguishes between works, editions, and individual copies of books in ways that current commercial platforms do not adequately address. Unlike Goodreads which treats all editions of a book as a single work, or platforms like eBay that only show individual edition listings, Becker envisions a system where users can navigate between different organizational levels and explore the genealogy of works across translations, editions, and languages. The project also aims to create copy-level records similar to what libraries maintain, which would track provenance and availability of specific individual copies rather than just edition-level information, something no commercial platform currently does at scale.

Today, we're joined by a renowned betrayal trauma specialist and author, Beth Fischer, who is the creator of The Betrayal Trauma Healing Method and The Integrity Journey.

Truck driver turnover can exceed 90% at major fleets....and trucking still keeps asking what's wrong with the DRIVER. Maybe we're asking the wrong damn question. What if trucking's driver retention problem isn't really a recruiting problem? What if it's a LEADERSHIP problem? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with fleet owner Pam Polyak and Dr. Vernard "Doctor V" Jenkins, VP of Operations at Knight-Swift Warehousing & Fulfillment, to put trucking leadership under the microscope. We're digging into why truck drivers quit, what happens during the critical first 90 days, driver-manager relationships, fleet culture, onboarding, frontline leadership, driver retention, detention, employee engagement and why constantly recruiting replacement drivers may be treating the symptom instead of fixing the disease. Why do good drivers leave? Is pay really the reason? When does a new driver actually decide they're done? How much does a bad dispatcher or manager cost a trucking company What should fleets change during the first 90 days? And if your company keeps losing drivers... AT WHAT POINT DO YOU STOP INTERVIEWING THE DRIVER AND START INTERVIEWING THE BOSS? If you're a truck driver, owner-operator, fleet owner, trucking executive, dispatcher, driver manager, recruiter, safety professional or transportation leader, this conversation is for you. Because you can buy newer trucks. Raise recruiting budgets. Add bonuses. Build better onboarding technology. But if people keep walking out the door... MAYBE IT'S YOU. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #DriverRetention #TruckingIndustry #FleetManagement #TruckDriver #Transportation #Leadership ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 121 of Faith, Family, & Fulfillment, Chris and Suzanne Vester take on the growing influence technology and media have on the way we think, live, and lead our families. Technology itself isn't the enemy. The question is whether we are intentionally using it as a tool or allowing it to quietly shape our attention, beliefs, and worldview.From embracing technology as a resource to learning through failure, this conversation challenges us to become more intentional about what we consume, what we create, and what we allow to influence our homes.Minute Markers:00:00 Intro: Opening the conversation around technology, media, and the responsibility we have to protect and shape our worldview.10:20 Technology as a Resource Instead of a Distraction: How to use technology intentionally without allowing it to consume your attention or pull you away from what matters most.20:22 The Lesson in Failing: Why mistakes and failures can become some of our greatest teachers when we're willing to learn from them.29:34 Tool of Creation or Destruction: Technology can be used to build, connect, educate, and create, or it can become a source of distraction and division. The difference is in how we choose to use it.This episode is a reminder that we don't have to fear technology, but we do have to lead ourselves and our families through it intentionally. The tools will continue to change. Our responsibility to stay grounded in faith, truth, and purpose does not.

So why do we do that to our own lives?Session two of the Back to School (of Midlife) series. If last week was orientation, this is the core curriculum — the actual framework behind everything Laurie coaches: BEST LIFE™.She starts by naming the pushback she hears constantly — "I'm not a high achiever" — and dismantles it directly: if you've ever solved a problem nobody asked you to solve, put yourself last on the list, or believed your rest had to be earned, you're a high achiever, whatever your job title says.From there she walks through the two real reasons she built BEST LIFE™: the goal-chasing problem (achieving the goal without ever asking what you actually wanted, and feeling empty anyway), and her long-standing issue with SMART goals as personal-life advice. The dream house metaphor she opened with threads through the entire back half — you wouldn't build a house without a plan for what you actually want to live in, so why are you building a life that way?Then she breaks down BEST LIFE™ letter by letter — BEyond your wildest dreams, Success on your terms, Truly want, so you can build a LIFE of Legacy, Impact, Fulfillment, and Excitement — with homework at the end: pick one letter, write down what it actually means to you.What we cover:Why Laurie built BEST LIFE™ for two specific reasons, not oneThe "I'm not a high achiever" pushback, and why she doesn't let anyone off the hook for itThe success playbook checklist — school, job, marriage, kids, house, promotion, retirement — and why finishing it doesn't always feel the way you expectWhy chasing the right goal without checking in with yourself first still leaves you emptyWhat changes when clients do the foundational work first — what do you want, what does success mean, what does your best life look likeLaurie's own story: 20 years in commercial real estate and brokerage before she became "student one" at the School of MidlifeWhy the SMART goals framework is excellent for a sales quarter and terrible for a marriage or a health goalA closer look at two SMART letters specifically — Attainable and Time-Bound — and why Laurie thinks both are the wrong filter for your personal lifeThe dream house metaphor, used to explain why you plan a life the same way you'd plan a home: you can't hand someone the blueprints until you know what you wantBE: Beyond your wildest dreams — letting yourself want something big before your brain talks you out of itS: Success on your terms — redefining success outside of money and job title, specific to this season of lifeT: What you truly want — stripping away everyone else's opinion, including a nod to that scene in The NotebookLIFE: Legacy, Impact, Fulfillment, and Excitement — including the generational angle: what your daughters and sons learn by watching how you liveThis week's homework: pick one letter, write down what it actually means to you — not a dictionary definition, the real oneA preview of next week: the three seasons of life — Learn, Earn, Yearn — and why waiting for the last one is a bad betQuotable moments"You have to remember, I was student one at the School of Midlife.""If there is a problem in your life, more often than not, you're the one who solved it, even when nobody asked you to.""I don't care if you get there. When we talk about attainable and achievable, I want you to make it so big — wildest dreams big.""If this is something you genuinely want... who cares how long it takes?""You have to stop trying to make everybody happy and start living a life that is true to you.""If, like, none of it excites you, it's probably someone else's goal or dream that you've just adopted.""This is not just some rosy saying that should make you feel good. There is intentionality behind this."Resources + links mentionedEpisode 186 — Orientation Day: When Being a High-Achiever Isn't Enough (Back to School [of Midlife] series, session one)Best Life PlannerJOIN MY MAILING LISTCONNECT WITH LAURIE

With a few random LOL detours along the way, Coach Liz details the power of softening your grip to forge more meaningful connections and how to find “presence” on runs and in races. She emphasizes that feeling fully alive in a moment (even the final miles of a race!) is a skill that can be practiced. And find out what the Four H's are—and how they can spark meaningful conversations with running partners, Masters swim teammates, and more.FeistyFest Info: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/Women's Mechanic Camp in Tucson: https://livefeisty.com/events/bike-mechanic-school-tucson/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themotherrunner/Previnex: Use code AMR15 for 15% off your first purchase at https://www.previnex.com/Hettas: Use code STAYFEISTY for 20% off at https://hettas.com/Currex: Use code AMR15 for 15% off at https://currex.com/Tifosi Optics: Use code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/ PLUS: Register to win a Free Pair of Sunglasses: https://feistymedia.activehosted.com/f/121

This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson is joined by Becky Estby, who is the CEO of Next Monday, leadership consultant, executive coach, and author of the upcoming book Uncommon Courage. After years of working in senior HR and organizational development roles, Becky noticed a pattern among high-achieving women: many were succeeding professionally while quietly struggling with self-doubt, burnout, and a sense of misalignment. Today, she helps women challenge the belief that they are the problem and instead redefine success, courage, and belonging in ways that honor who they truly are. If you've ever questioned whether success should feel different, this conversation is for you.

Just because AI can "do" more than ever doesn't mean you need to be doing more.When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Codex, or Claude Code starts working, the instinct is often to open another tab, check email, start another task, or stare impatiently at the screen. Justin has been experimenting with a very different response by using the waiting time to become calmer and clearer.In this episode, Justin shares the simple 4-6 breathing practice he has fallen in love with and why it fits surprisingly well with AI-assisted work. He explains what slow breathing may be doing physiologically, why a calm state does not mean a passive state, and how giving your mind some open space may help you return to the work with better judgment.Key Ideas / TakeawaysHow 4-6 breathing works (and my favorite timer for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G89S77iJm8Why slower breathing can influence heart-rate variability and help create a state of calm, alert readinessWhy the human using AI still has to decide what matters, evaluate the output, and choose what happens nextHow stress can interfere with the attention, working memory, and flexibility needed to work well with AIWhy leaving some mental space while AI works may help your own mind continue processing problems in the backgroundThree practical ways to use 4-6 breathing during short, medium, and long AI tasksWhy ListenThis is especially useful if you spend a lot of time with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, or other AI tools and regularly find yourself bouncing between tasks while they work. It is also for anyone who wants a very simple way to create more calm and space during the natural pauses already built into the day.The idea is not to make AI faster.It is to make better use of the human while the AI is working.Connect with JustinMain website: https://www.justinwenck.comAbout Justin: https://www.justinwenck.com/aboutFree offerings: https://www.justinwenck.com/free-offeringsEvents: https://www.justinwenck.com/eventsConnect: https://www.justinwenck.com/connectPodcast home: https://www.buzzsprout.com/787193Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/engineering-emotions-and-energy-with-justin-wenck-ph-d/id1493136576YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@justinwenckphdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinwenckphd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinwenck/Book — Engineered to Love: https://www.engineeredtolove.comAmazon book listing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2SQ21WVAudible audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/Engineered-to-Love-Audiobook/B0CCQLSDS7Mental Wealth audio course: https://grow.emotionsengineering.com/mentalwealthLEAP practice: https://www.justinwenck.com/leapSend us Fan MailWatch the full video episode at Justin Wenck, Ph.D. YouTube Channel!Check out my best-selling book "Engineered to Love: Going Beyond Success to Fulfillment" also available on Audiobook on all streaming platforms!

Hank Crawford of Blue Collar Robotics and Paul Harker, retired CCO of Woolworths Group, on grocery store robotics a retailer can deploy today.There are 280,000 people walking the aisles of US grocery stores right now picking somebody else's order, and grocers cannot hire fast enough to keep up with the growth. That number comes from Hank Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Collar Robotics, and it frames the whole conversation. Online grocery keeps growing. Labor keeps getting harder to find. And the two big swings the industry took at eGrocery fulfillment, the centralized fulfillment center and the micro fulfillment center, both left grocers with high CapEx, duplicated inventory, and people still picking most of the order. Hank is joined by Paul Harker, retired Chief Commercial Officer of Woolworths Group, Australia's largest retailer, who joined Blue Collar Robotics as a strategic advisor. Together with Ricardo Belmar and Casey Golden they work through the economics of eGrocery fulfillment from the operator's side of the table: why the warehouse answer collapsed, what grocery store robotics has been getting wrong, and why a purpose-built robot with a remote operator behind it can drop into a supermarket that already exists. The mechanism is the interesting part. Blue Collar Robotics sells the picking as a service. A grocer pays a cost per pick, which moves the spend from CapEx into OpEx. The robot handles packaged center-aisle goods using vacuum suction, which is roughly 65% of a typical order, and store associates get redeployed to fresh, where care actually shows up in the customer's bag. Blue Collar reports eGrocery fulfillment cost reductions of as much as 50%. This is Season 6, Episode 10.In This Episode, You'll Learn•       Why centralized fulfillment centers failed for grocery on four separate counts: volume density, distance from the customer, fresh, and CapEx•       What Paul Harker says micro fulfillment centers still cannot solve, including duplicated inventory and picking "the uglies"•       Why over 80% of a grocer's business is still the in-store customer, and how eGrocery growth quietly degrades that experience•       The case for a human behind every robot, and why it is now standard practice for anything operating in an unstructured environment•       What robot etiquette means in a store aisle, and what China's hotel delivery robots taught Hank about how not to do it•       How the grocery store robotics buying conversation changes when the customer has no robotics team of its own•       Why grocery store robotics took this long to find product-market fit in a supermarket, and what changed•       Why the labor argument runs backwards here: there is no line of people waiting for picking jobs•       How remote operation opens picking work to people who could never physically do it, and opens a 24 hour picking clock for the store•       What Hank says is actually slowing adoption, and it is not the technologySupport our sponsorsThis Episode is Brought to You By RetailClub.Retail and brand leaders can attend RetailClub AI Festival completely budget-free, plus get $1,750 toward travel and hotel.

What if the problems you expect are the ones your mind keeps helping you find? In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy presents to high-achieving healthcare professionals and women in dentistry who feel tired of always expecting the next problem. She shares how our thoughts, words, and beliefs can shape what we notice each day. When you expect poor team support, stress, or bad luck, your brain may keep finding proof that those things are true. Dr. Tarryn explains the reticular activating system, the brain's filter that helps us notice what matters to us. She calls this the “orange Jeep experiment.” When you look for something, you start seeing more of it.For dentists and healthcare leaders, this can change how you see your team, patients, business, and support system. Instead of forcing a big mindset change overnight, Dr. Tarryn encourages small shifts. Choose one good thing to notice this week, say it out loud, and stay open to how it may show up.Show notes:(1:41) Opening your mind beyond dental training(5:14) Expectations shape what you notice daily(11:56) How your brain filters information(13:51) The orange Jeep experiment explained(16:36) A self-alignment framework to help dentists and healthcare professionals to reconnect with themselves beyond burnout and outside expectations.(19:28) Bringing a supportive mindset to practice(23:13) Making small mindset shifts over time(27:10) Try the orange Jeep experiment(32:06) Outro_______________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Empower Her Retreat:Dates: October 1–4, 2026Location: Taos, New MexicoWebsite: empowerherretreat.orgRadical Happiness for Women Dentists - https://thebizofhappiness.com/radicalhappiness/ Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Nerds, Andrew Lowen and Sean dive deep into one of the most important marketing concepts for crowdfunding creators: Drivers vs. Catchers.

Tired of shrinking to fit in? Feeling like a square peg in a round hole? These common issues can make us feel as if we'll never truly belong. We crave inclusion for many reasons. On an evolutionary level, instinct drives us to be part of a pack because we're more likely to survive. And belonging to a group of like-minded people can foster self-esteem while also reducing loneliness and anxiety. Yet, in real life, many people--from childhood forward--struggle with finding or fitting into a group that offers a reassuring sense of inclusion. And this can foster feelings of being unwanted, unworthy, and unloved. So today, we're joined by a highly skilled guest, Dr. JJ Kelly, who has a knack for helping others embrace their lovable inner misfit, grow strong, and shine.Topics discussed include emotional intelligence, emotions, feelings, DBT, dialectical behavioral therapy, self-love, self-like, inclusion, bullying, outsider, misfit, neurolinguistics, genuine self, authenticity, internal validation, external validation, parenting contracts, consequences, projection, values, pride, self-growth, personal evolution, parenting, children, emotional bullying, unresolved trauma, and transformation.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

I read an article yesterday about the fourth season of the tv series, Ted Lasso, coming out. The series was celebrated for bringing the concept of positivity to the forefront. But in this new season they feel positivity isn't what the culture needs. They depict the populace this way: "People are fine. Not hopeful, not despairing — just fine." So the new season is focused on hope. And I agree. We seem to be losing hope in anything more than just…existing. So when a celebrated author comes out with a book about his research on what “thriving” looks like, I was interested. Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author known for The Culture Code, The Talent Code, The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects, which was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves. But after writing about talent and performance, Dan cites he began wondering about the deeper parts of life. The result is his new book, Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment. And he boils down to…community. Interdependence, which I don't think many of us understand. I'm not going to try and explain it here, but invite you to listen to the following 55 minutes of discussing a different kind of community experience than I bet you've ever fully conceptualized. I feel I got schooled, in a great way, by the message in Dan's book, and the following conversation. I have myself looking at relationships and community in a new way, and I'm inspiring myself.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Bill Perkins to the podcast. Bill is an entrepreneur, hedge fund manager, investor, and bestselling author of Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life. Throughout his career, he's challenged one of the most common assumptions about wealth: that accumulating more money should always be the ultimate goal. Instead, Bill encourages people to think differently about how they use their time, health, and financial resources to create a more fulfilling life. Far too many retirees spend decades building wealth only to discover that saving money is much easier than confidently spending it. Bill believes retirement isn't about maximizing your account balance; it's about maximizing your experiences while you still have the health and time to enjoy them. That means being intentional about when you travel, when you create memories with loved ones, and even when you pass wealth on to the next generation. In our conversation, Bill explains why money should always serve your life instead of becoming the goal itself, how "time bucketing" can help prioritize life's most meaningful experiences, why health may be your most valuable retirement asset, and how intentionally spending, giving, and creating memories can ultimately lead to a richer and more purposeful retirement.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why maximizing fulfillment—not maximizing wealth—should become your retirement goal. How time bucketing helps you prioritize experiences before opportunities disappear. Why your health becomes one of your most valuable retirement resources. How memory dividends can create lasting returns long after an experience ends. Why intentionally giving wealth during your lifetime may create a greater legacy than leaving an inheritance after you're gone. How designing simple systems can help you live more intentionally instead of on autopilot. Show Notes: HowardBailey.com/580

In today's episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy highlights how one frightening moment on a plane became a powerful reminder of what truly matters. She shares her personal story of an emergency landing and the deep peace she felt when she looked back on a life built with love, purpose, and intention.For high-achieving women in dentistry and healthcare, this episode speaks to the hidden cost of burnout, stress, and putting everyone else first. Dr. Tarryn explains why real fulfillment does not come from a successful practice, a packed schedule, or meeting outside expectations. It begins when you take responsibility for your own health, happiness, and well-being. This is an honest conversation about self-care, nervous system health, leadership, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks.Show notes:(3:36) Emergency landing brings life into focus(7:49) From chaos to a fulfilled life(11:00) A self-alignment framework to help dentists and healthcare professionals to reconnect with themselves beyond burnout and outside expectations. https://truetomemethod.com/ (13:52) Why self-care is not selfish(19:32) Finding fulfillment beyond dentistry(23:11) Outro_______________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Empower Her Retreat:Dates: October 1–4, 2026Location: Taos, New MexicoWebsite: empowerherretreat.orgConnect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.
