Today, I sit down with Steve Gatena, Co-Founder & CEO of PRAY, for a conversation about faith, leadership, and building a company with long-term purpose. Steve shares his journey from growing up in Los Angeles and playing college football at USC to founding Pray.com and thinking deeply about stewardship, culture, and responsibility. We talk about what it means to lead in moments of tragedy, why community matters more than ever, and how faith intersects with modern business and technology.

We discuss: • Steve's early life, football career, and the turning points that reshaped his path • Why Hollywood often resists faith and what cultural shifts Steve sees happening today • The “Mission, Team, Self” framework, and how it applies to leadership and decision making • Building Pray.com as a sustainable platform across software, media, and subscriptions • The importance of strong men, building community, and taking accountability Links: Pray.com - https://www.pray.com/ Platform Revolution by Geoffrey G.

As the year comes to a close, I'm reflecting on a journey shaped by courage, change, and the decision to thrive.In this solo episode, I open up about generational fears — the ones we inherit from family, culture, and lived experience — and how they quietly influence our choices, confidence, and even our health. From letting go after my humanitarian work in Germany ended, to solo travels across Italy, Portugal, and Spain, to navigating family hospitalization and rebuilding life back in the U.S., this year stretched me in ways I didn't expect.I share how launching Gums & Gossip, teaching about generational dental fears, stepping into entrepreneurship, and putting myself out there on social media helped me confront my own fears and build confidence, worth, and hope.This episode is an invitation to reflect:What fears are you ready to release?Where did you thrive this year?And what word will guide you into the new year?If you're navigating fear, healing, or growth — this conversation is for you.

Transcript:Da: På en kold vinterdag, hvor snefnug dalede stille ned, var Kasper og Signe i gang med at rydde op på loftet i deres afdøde bedsteforældres hyggelige bondehus i den danske provins.En: On a cold winter day, where snowflakes quietly drifted down, Kasper and Signe were busy cleaning up the attic in their late grandparents' cozy farmhouse in the Danish countryside.Da: Det var et gammelt hus, omgivet af nøgne ege og et tyndt lag sne, der glimtede i vinterlyset.En: It was an old house, surrounded by bare oaks and a thin layer of snow that glittered in the winter light.Da: Mens de ryddede op mellem de gamle trækister og støvede møbler, stødte Signe på en gammel, gulnet konvolut.En: As they cleared away among the old wooden chests and dusty furniture, Signe came across an old, yellowed envelope.Da: "Kasper, se hvad jeg har fundet," kaldte Signe, hendes stemme fyldt med undren og et strejf af håb.En: "Kasper, look what I found," called Signe, her voice filled with wonder and a hint of hope.Da: Kasper, praktisk som han var, så først kun op fra sin bunke og hævede et øjenbryn.En: Kasper, practical as he was, only looked up from his pile at first and raised an eyebrow.Da: "Det er vel bare mere affald?"En: "It's probably just more trash?"Da: spurgte han rutinemæssigt, mens han forsatte med at fylde en papkasse med ubrugelige genstande.En: he asked routinely as he continued to fill a cardboard box with useless items.Da: Signe åbnede forsigtigt konvolutten, og en foldet seddel gled ud.En: Signe carefully opened the envelope, and a folded note slipped out.Da: Da hun begyndte at læse, ændrede hendes øjne sig fra nysgerrighed til noget langt dybere.En: As she began to read, her eyes changed from curiosity to something much deeper.Da: Det var et brev fra deres bedstefar, skrevet til dem mange år før.En: It was a letter from their grandfather, written to them many years before.Da: Det handlede om hans liv på gården, hans dybe kærlighed til stedet, og hans ønsker for dets fremtid.En: It spoke about his life on the farm, his deep love for the place, and his wishes for its future.Da: Kasper stoppede op og kiggede på hende med en blanding af irritation og interesse.En: Kasper paused and looked at her with a mixture of irritation and interest.Da: "Hvad står der?"En: "What does it say?"Da: Signe tøvede først.En: Signe hesitated at first.Da: Hun vidste, hvor meget huset betød for hende, men også hvor pragmatisk Kasper var.En: She knew how much the house meant to her, but also how pragmatic Kasper was.Da: Alligevel samlede hun mod.En: Still, she gathered courage.Da: "Det er om bedstefars drømme," sagde hun blidt.En: "It's about grandpa's dreams," she said gently.Da: Hun begyndte at læse højt.En: She began to read aloud.Da: Brevet fortalte om bedstefars glade minder om hele familien samlet ved julemiddagen i køkkenet, om hans vision om, at huset skulle forblive i familien, hvor det kunne skabe nye minder i takt med generationsskiftene.En: The letter told of grandpa's happy memories of the whole family gathered at Christmas dinner in the kitchen, about his vision that the house should remain in the family, where it could create new memories through the generations.Da: Det var en kærlighedserklæring til stedet og et håb om varig forbindelse.En: It was a love letter to the place and a hope for lasting connection.Da: Kaspers ansigt blødte op, da han lyttede.En: Kasper's face softened as he listened.Da: Ordene ramte ham dybt, vækkede noget, han ikke havde forventet.En: The words struck him deeply, awakening something he hadn't expected.Da: Han kiggede rundt i loftet, på tingene fra deres barndom, og indså, at huset var mere end blot mursten og træ.En: He looked around the attic, at the things from their childhood, and realized that the house was more than just bricks and wood.Da: "Vi kan ikke sælge det," sagde Kasper til sidst, rørt, mens han trak vejret dybt ind.En: "We can't sell it," Kasper finally said, moved, as he took a deep breath.Da: "Det må være en måde at beholde det på."En: "There must be a way to keep it."Da: For første gang i dagevis smilede Signe ægte.En: For the first time in days, Signe genuinely smiled.Da: "Vi skal nok finde en løsning," bekræftede hun og betragtede sin bror med taknemmelighed.En: "We will find a solution," she confirmed, looking at her brother with gratitude.Da: De gik hånd i hånd ned ad den smalle loftstrappe, fast besluttede på at ære deres bedstefars ønsker.En: They went hand in hand down the narrow attic stairs, determined to honor their grandfather's wishes.Da: I den lune stue sad de sammen og formulerede en plan.En: In the warm living room, they sat together and formulated a plan.Da: De blev enige om at holde et familiemøde og diskutere mulige måder at håndtere gælden på uden at opgive deres elskede barndomshjem.En: They agreed to hold a family meeting and discuss possible ways to handle the debt without giving up their beloved childhood home.Da: Kasper havde lært at værdsætte sit familiearv mere, mens Signe forstod betydningen af at finde en balance mellem følelser og ansvar.En: Kasper had learned to appreciate his family heritage more, while Signe understood the importance of finding a balance between emotions and responsibility.Da: Sneen faldt stille udenfor, men inde i det gamle bondehus var alt varmt og fyldt med håbet om en lysere fremtid.En: The snow fell quietly outside, but inside the old farmhouse, everything was warm and filled with the hope of a brighter future.

Episode Summary: In this captivating episode of The Chris Vos Show, host Chris Vos dives into the complex world of relationships and emotional well-being with licensed therapist Kayla Crane. With a career dedicated to marriage and family therapy, Kayla unpacks the intricacies of relational trauma, the psychological impact of infidelity, and the crucial role of communication in sustaining healthy relationships. The discussion highlights the importance of addressing unresolved childhood trauma and generational issues that often resurface in adult relationships. Kayla outlines practical therapeutic interventions for relational trauma, such as systematic affair recovery therapy and relational life therapy, which focus on direct, practical approaches rather than conventional methods. Key topics include recognizing when it’s time for therapy, how to deal with unresolved childhood traumas, and the essential nature of empathy and open communication in mending and strengthening relationships. Key Takeaways: Childhood Trauma’s Impact: Unresolved childhood trauma plays a significant role in adult relationships and can manifest as disproportionate reactions during conflicts. Communication is Key: Open and direct communication, even about uncomfortable topics, is essential for relationship health. Importance of Therapy: Couples are encouraged to seek therapy not only to solve existing problems but also as a preemptive measure to strengthen their bond. Generational Trauma: Understanding and addressing generational trauma are vital for breaking unhealthy relationship patterns. Constructive Conflict Resolution: Establishing conflict resolution agreements and taking timeouts can lead to healthier argument dynamics. Notable Quotes: “You can take accountability for contributing to your partner’s pain whether you agree or not. If they’re hurting, they’re hurting.” “A lot of people think when they're going to therapy, the relationship is probably over, but sometimes the issues are fixable.” “If you're having maybe a disproportionate response, that's a sign you're responding to something from your past.” “Relationships can improve significantly with just a few tools and open communication.” “Generational trauma shows up all the time, especially where trauma wasn't worked on as commonly as it is today.”

As a little kid, I always slept terribly on Christmas eve. I'd try and go to bed early. I'd tell myself that the sooner I went to sleep, the sooner I'd wake on Christmas morning. But sure as anything I'd be up all night, listening for any sound of activity on the roof. Together with my three little brothers and sisters, we'd be desperate for mum and dad to throw open our bedroom doors at first light, and we'd scramble down to our spindly-and-slightly-off-centred Christmas tree to see if Dad's old football socks had been attended to by Santa. I suspect this Christmas eve will be another poor sleep. Not because I'll be excitedly listening for the sound of shuffling reindeer on corrugated iron, but because it's my first Christmas morning with our ten-month-old son. We're taking both our boys to their cousins' place. Five kids. Average age: four-and-a-half. Our eldest is already fizzing. Our baby will have absolutely no idea what's going on but will sure as anything wake up a minimum of three times in the night to demand cuddles and a feed. Christmas is a kind of touchstone for our family. Like many Kiwi families, it's the one time of year when all of us (or at least as many of us as possible) are in one place at the same time. Weddings, funerals and Christmas are the only occasions we're all together. And Christmas is the only regular date. As a child you never think of this stuff, but as you grow older you are gently confronted by the reality that for better or worse, the numbers in the room change. The grandparents whom I shared Christmas day with as a little boy are no longer with us, no longer sitting on the couch, sipping their coffees and wryly commentating as the kids tear into the wrapping paper. Granny was a very active woman. Every Christmas morning after we'd stuffed ourselves with chocolates and junk, she'd lead a brisk stroll through the neighbourhood as we worked up an appetite for lunch. Dad and my grandad would stay at home and race through a cryptic crossword. Now it's different. For the kids it's more or less the same. All magic. A whirlwind. A blur. But for the rest of us, a new baby just reinforces our awareness of having stepped up a generation. Where once I was struggling to sleep through the night on Christmas Eve, now it's my boys and their cousins. My parents have become the grandparents sitting on the couch, sipping their coffees, wryly commentating proceedings. My siblings have become the parents, the aunts and uncles. People who once were there, are not. New, excited little bodies have taken their place. There's sadness in it. But there's something quite beautiful about it too, placing yourself in a generational context like that. It's a circle of life thing. It's funny that it comes at Christmas. Other cultures and religions probably have many more of these moments. But we're a bit short on touchstone traditions. For me at least, Christmas is a short little window every year where the busy lives in my family are about as aligned as they're going to be. It's a touchstone where if you want to, you can step back and observe what's changed in the family. My son's first Christmas will mean seeing myself in a slightly different light… not as a kid, or a gift-giver, or someone setting stocking sunder the tree, but as a bridge between different generations of the same family, hoping the spirit of these traditions will continue for many years to come.

What if the grief you've been pushing away is trying to tell you something? In this mini episode, I open the vault on my live Q&A with Biology of Freeze students. These are the real questions people ask when they're in the deep work. The answers might surprise you. A caregiver asked how to show up for her family while grief keeps pulling her under. A practitioner wondered why her autoimmune clients can't take action. I share the exact practice I use when grief hits like a wave. Spoiler: it's not positive thinking. It's not pushing through. It's pausing long enough to let that part of you feel heard. In this episode you'll hear more about: The grief practice no one taught us: Why ignoring emotions or "staying positive" abandons the hurting part. I share the phrase I say out loud when grief shows up. It starts with: "I'm having a feeling right now." How to stay present to pain without drowning: The physical gesture I use to stay connected instead of numbing. It's not about making it go away. It's about not leaving that part alone. What grief is really pointing to: Behind every wave is something you deeply value. Give it space. You'll get clarity on how you want to live. Generational trauma lives in the body: I break down how ancestral patterns show up in beliefs, sensations, and even DNA. The good news? All of it can be rewired. Why autoimmune clients can't take action: This isn't motivation. It's learned helplessness from early overwhelm. The roots often start before you could talk. Body work sending you into shutdown? If dental work or sauna leave you crashed for weeks, it might not be emotional. Your detox pathways might not keep up. Music as nervous system medicine: Not all calming music actually calms you. I explain what tempo range shifts your heart rate. Our grief isn't a problem to solve. It's a messenger pointing us toward what matters most.

Send us a textJames Banks (now Gutierrez) was born into a crime family and only knew abuse and rage. Groomed to fill the shoes of his Uncle, James was encouraged in his rage and taught how to navigate, survive, and thrive in a world of crime and vengeance. Needless to say, James wasn't happy. In today's riveting testimony, James explains how God used the exposure of his uncle's motivation and the compassionate young woman to soften his heart. But “trying to do good” was not enough. James also needed deep deliverance and finally received it in a powerful encounter with God.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/contact➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Bibleteaching #deliveranceministry #demons #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show

A few years ago, Radio Milwaukee's Tarik Moody tried to buy a house in the city. Every offer got outbid by LLCs with out-of-state addresses and cash offers that closed in two weeks. He gave up.Recently, Tarik spent time with someone else who went on that journey — with a very different outcome. Keilyn Borrero, a single mom of four, was in the same headspace Tarik was at the start. She convinced herself it would never happen. One income. Prices spiking. The math just didn't work.Of course, she said all of that while standing in the house she now owns thanks to the City of Milwaukee's Homes MKE program. Then she walked Tarik through her new place on the north side: the pantry she insisted on, the big yard where her 10-year-old finally has space to kick a soccer ball, the spot where she wants to plant lavender next spring."I was crying the whole time," she said about the closing day, when she thought to herself, "This is finally happening, for me and for my kids."#####Podcast host: Kim ShineGuest host: Tarik MoodyThis story was reported with the assistance of A.I. tools, which were used primarily to outline and create a working draft.

What does it really mean to be “almost a millionaire”? And is that number as important as the freedom you gain along the way? In today's episode, Joshua Weekley shares how he and his wife built a net worth of nearly $1 million by age 35 without extreme deprivation or risky bets. Instead of chasing shortcuts, Joshua focused on consistent habits, automation, and learning how to control his money so it could support the life he wanted with his family. This episode is part of our Best of MKM series and was originally released last year. It quickly became one of our most popular and highly viewed interviews because of its honesty, relatability, and practical approach to wealth building. Joshua opens up about growing up around money stress, learning from what his parents did and did not do with finances, and why net worth became a powerful motivator for reclaiming his time. He also breaks down exactly where his money is today, including home equity, retirement accounts, brokerage investments, and cash. Most importantly, he explains why wealth is built milestone by milestone, not overnight. If you are working toward your first $1,000 emergency fund or closing in on your first million, this conversation is a powerful reminder that every step forward matters. CHAPTERS

Latino-owned businesses are one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. economy, yet many owners still struggle when it's time to sell or transition. Gaps in financial records, limited access to the right advisors, and the absence of an exit plan often lead owners to shut down or hand over their businesses without capturing real value. Rudy Bustamante, Financial Planner at OneIndiana Financial Group, discusses why this happens and what can be done about it. He explains how cultural and language barriers complicate the process, why succession planning is rarely discussed, and how simple systems and accurate financials can change the outcome for an owner and their family. Rudy also highlights the resources owners should know about and how to spot advisors who understand the unique needs of the Latino business community.   In this episode, you will: Learn why many Latino business owners fail to plan for an exit  Understand the role of financial records and planning in a successful business transition Discover the cultural and language barriers that affect Latino business sales and how to address them   Highlights: (00:00) Meet Rudy Bustamante (04:19) Challenges faced by Latino-owned businesses (10:53) Generational wealth and business transition (20:09) Retirement in the Latino community (22:47) Family dynamics and retirement plans (23:11) Transitioning Latino businesses (28:35) Predatory practices and community trust (30:52) Building trust and resources   Follow Rudy: Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rudybustamanteoif/ Website: https://www.bustamanteconsulting.com/ Learn more about OneIndiana Financial Group: https://www.oneindianafinancial.com/   Follow Ed: Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmysogland/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/defendersofbusinessvalue/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bvdefenders   Resources for Latino Business Owners National & Broad-Reach Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI) – Free education programs, some scholarships, research, and the "Scaling Program": https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/labs-initiatives/slei Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) – Stanford-partnered scaling and exit-planning cohorts: www.lban.us U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) – Spanish-language resources, free counseling: https://www.sba.gov/document/support-national-resource-guide-spanish SCORE Mentoring – Free mentors, many bilingual, search for "Spanish" or "Latino": https://www.score.org/find-mentor  Exit-Planning & Valuation Specific International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) – Broker directory; filter for Spanish-speaking: https://www.ibba.org/ Value Builder System – Free "Value Builder Score" questionnaire (Spanish version available): https://valuebuilder.com/ Capital & Financial Clean-Up Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) – Latino-focused lenders who understand informal records: search "CDFI Latino", https://oportun.com/ or https://www.liftfund.com/ Accion Opportunity Fund – Loans and bilingual coaching specifically for Latino owners: https://aofund.org/ Local/Regional Powerhouses U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) – Local chapters everywhere: www.ushcc.com Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) – DC/Maryland/Virginia: https://www.ledcmetro.org/ Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA):  https://medasf.org/ Books & Quick Reads (in Spanish or bilingual) "De Emprendedor a Empresario" – LBAN/Stanford free PDF "Finish Big" by Bo Burlingham (Spanish edition available)

In this episode of Ageless Future, Regan Archibald sits down with wealth strategist Brock Fortner of Stone Century Financial to unpack how optimized health and intelligent money systems work together to create a truly ageless life. Brock explains the key differences between the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers, why most family wealth disappears by the second or third generation, and how tools like trusts, permanent life insurance, and “family constitutions” can preserve both wealth and values for 365 years or more. They dive into tax strategy, the IRS “playbook,” cash-flow engines, whole life as a family bank, and the power of living in the “gain” instead of chasing a retirement nest egg. Along the way, Brock shares his three core wealth mindsets—genuine curiosity, stewardship over ownership, and generosity—and offers listeners a free copy of What Would the Rockefellers Do? to start redesigning their own financial legacy. Brock Fortner is the founder of StoneCentury Financial and a trusted advisor to high-income families, entrepreneurs, and top investors across the country. A Nashville native, he holds degrees in risk management and insurance, and a masters of finance from Vanderbilt University, and specializes in advanced wealth-building strategies using cash value life insurance, the Rockefeller Method, and private wealth principles. Brock is known for turning complexity into clarity and helping clients build systems that accelerate financial independence. He wrote the foreword to What Would The Rockefellers Do? and works closely with elite communities like The Lifestyle Investor and Tribe of Investors. BROCK:Website: https://stonecenturyfinancial.com/Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brockfortnerGet a copy of Brock's book! https://stonecenturyfinancial.com/book AGELESS FUTURE:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: Here's the info scoop: everything on this channel is purely for educational and informational kicks—definitely not medical advice.

In this lively, heartfelt episode of The Circle of Hope, I sit down with my niece Lucy Hope, a rising high school senior—and, fittingly, my summer virtual assistant! We unravel the power of curiosity, listening, and connecting with those who help us grow. From Lucy's early days as the inquisitive toddler in our family kitchen to her navigation of high school clubs, friendships, and the dynamic landscape of a big, bustling household, we explore how quietly observed details can lead to genuine influence and leadership.Lucy shares her journey as a naturally introverted observer who discovered that being a good listener can make you not only a better friend, but also a thoughtful gift-giver, a connector, and, unexpectedly, a leader. We dive into fascinating discoveries about “human design,” how understanding your preference for invitations (“wait to be invited” versus “initiate or respond”) can shape your opportunities and confidence. Along the way, we discuss sibling relationships, family dynamics, generational gaps, and practical advice for both adults and teens about listening, mentoring, and finding “your people.” Whether you're a quiet teen, a parent, or anyone hungry for authentic connection, this is a must-listen for practical wisdom infused with warmth and humor.Watch This If:You're a teen (or parent of one) navigating friendships, clubs, or new environments.You want to communicate better with young people in your life.You appreciate the hidden power of being a great listener or want to develop it.You're interested in self-awareness approaches like “human design” or discovering your strengths.You value real-life stories and advice about forging meaningful connections and support circles.You're curious about relatable intergenerational family wisdom and advice.Quotes to Remember:“Just being able to understand other people and then give them the empathy that they deserve … is really important.” – Lucy Hope“There's nothing worse than telling yourself you're too old to try this or you couldn't try this … If it interests you, just do it.” – Lucy Hope“You don't need to have one person be everything for you. … We do need a circle of people.” – Valerie Hope“Sometimes, it'd be more helpful if, instead of me saying, ‘This is what's happening at school,' they asked, ‘How is school? What's going on?' … Sometimes I don't want to be complaining … just having that space to bring it up in a conversation is really helpful.” – Lucy HopeWhat You'll Learn:Why listening quietly can make you more influential and empathetic—especially in friendships and family.How your unique style of initiating, waiting for invitations, or responding can open doors to new opportunities—and why it matters for teens and adults.The power and practicality of forming your “circle of hope” with different people for different needs (not expecting one person to be your “everything”).Helpful ways for parents and adults to support and communicate with teens (hint: don't rush to “fix” every problem!).Real advice for young people feeling alone or starting fresh: how to make friends, be yourself, and build authentic connections.The surprising benefits of trying new activities, being open to invitations, and knowing when to move on (“never feel boxed in”).Generational wisdom: stories of resilience, reinvention, and curiosity passed through family.Contact Information:Guest: Lucy HopeInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/i.love.llucyy/Host: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #TeenWisdom #ActiveListening #FamilyConnections #HumanDesign

In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Ashley Finley, Vice President of Research and Senior Advisor to the President at the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), about the findings of the 2025 AAC&U Employer Survey and what they reveal about employer expectations for higher education. Based on nearly 20 years of longitudinal research, the 2025 survey challenges many of the dominant public narratives about the value of college. Employers continue to express strong confidence in higher education, place equal importance on workforce preparation and citizenship, and increasingly emphasize adaptability, judgment, and civic capacity as core professional requirements. Dr. Finley explains how employers view civic skills as workplace competencies, why mindsets and dispositions are now baseline expectations rather than "soft skills," and how AI is reshaping what it means to be prepared for an uncertain future. The conversation also addresses generational differences among employers, the growing role of microcredentials, and why institutions must model the agility they expect from graduates. This episode is especially relevant for presidents, trustees, provosts, and senior leaders navigating political pressure, workforce alignment, and questions about institutional value. Topics Covered: What the 2025 AAC&U Employer Survey reveals that public narratives often miss Why employers see preparing informed citizens and a skilled workforce as inseparable goals How civic skills, including constructive disagreement, translate directly to workplace success Why motivation, resilience, initiative, and self-awareness are now baseline hiring expectations How employers think about AI readiness beyond simple tool proficiency Which student experiences increase hiring likelihood beyond internships How employers evaluate the credibility and value of microcredentials and certificates Generational shifts in employer expectations and what they signal for the future Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards: Institutions must communicate learning outcomes more clearly, including mindsets and dispositions, so students can articulate who they are becoming, not just what they know. Career-relevant experiences extend far beyond internships; leadership roles, campus employment, and community engagement carry significant employer value and are often more scalable. Agility must be modeled institutionally. Employers value adaptability, and colleges and universities cannot promote it in students while resisting change themselves. Bonus Takeaway from Dr. McNaughton: Employers continue to value higher education and the four-year degree, despite political rhetoric and cost-driven narratives suggesting otherwise. This disconnect presents both a risk and an opportunity for institutional leaders. This conversation offers data-grounded insight into how employers actually view higher education—and what leaders can do to align strategy, communication, and culture with those expectations.

This episode explores the theme of "being the head and not the tail," drawing from Deuteronomy 28 to encourage listeners to shift from a mindset of bondage and subservience to one of leadership and obedience to God. Samuel emphasizes that blessings follow faithful submission and obedience, contrasting the generational effects of living in freedom versus captivity. Practical examples illustrate how spiritual and financial freedom can be cultivated over time, impacting future generations. The episode closes with a call to embrace obedience, patience, and a lifestyle distinct from worldly patterns, trusting that God equips and blesses those who follow His ways.

Lead Pastor - Tim Hatch

In this powerful message, we explore the story of Mephibosheth—a man broken, forgotten, and living in exile—until the kindness of King David changed everything. This passage reminds us that God's covenant faithfulness doesn't stop with one person. His favor flows from generation to generation.Just as David sought out Mephibosheth for Jonathan's sake, God seeks us out because of a covenant made long before we were born. No matter your past, your family history, or your current condition, God's grace can find you, lift you, and seat you at His table.

Alpha Hour Exhortation - Episode 1167

If you're a parent with a kid in youth sports—rec, competitive, or full-blown travel—today's episode will hit home. I sit down with Jonathan Carone, creator of Healthy Sports Parents, for a powerful conversation about what youth sports have become, why burnout is skyrocketing, and how well-meaning parents (including me in the early years) unknowingly make the experience more stressful for their kids.   We break down shocking stats—like why 70% of kids quit sports by age 13, why travel leagues are burning families out, and how overtraining is causing injuries in 9-, 10-, and 11-year-olds. Jonathan brings immense wisdom about the car ride home, sideline behavior, when to step in with coaches, and how to raise confident, resilient athletes without crushing the joy of the game.     Timeline Summary:   [0:00] The surprising reason most kids quit sports by age 13. [2:14] Larry shares his own evolution from "obnoxious sideline dad" to quiet encourager. [3:41] Introducing guest Jonathan Carone of Healthy Sports Parents. [4:10] Why travel sports are wrecking family time and burning kids out. [4:40] The truth about scholarships and NIL fantasies. [5:00] How the car ride home can make or break a kid's love for the game. [6:04] The pressure kids feel once sports stop being fun. [7:04] Why rec leagues are disappearing—and why that matters. [8:29] How travel sports exploded over the last 25 years. [10:25] A realistic look at what travel sports demand from families. [12:09] Early onset injuries from overscheduling and year-round seasons. [14:21] Real-life stories of parents whose kids never get a break. [16:06] Why travel sports can destroy family dinners and family culture. [17:05] The fear-based mindset driving parents to overcommit. [19:47] The burnout cycle and why most kids stop enjoying the sport. [20:05] The psychology behind parents who push too hard. [21:13] Self-love vs. self-glory and how they influence parenting. [22:29] The myth of scholarships and how rare they really are. [23:24] How unhealthy pressure destroys a child's love for physical activity. [24:13] Why running became punishment for our generation. [26:33] Protecting kids' mental health in the digital age with Bark. [31:43] What parents should be doing on the sidelines. [34:36] The car ride home: three things you should ALWAYS say. [35:42] When and how to give feedback the right way. [38:44] Using a 5-to-1 positivity ratio to help kids grow. [41:22] Being an "obnoxious encourager." [43:33] The power of tone and why it changes everything. [45:04] When coaches only play to win—and your kid never gets in. [47:04] Teaching kids to advocate for themselves, age by age. [49:20] How ADHD affects emotional regulation in sports. [53:14] The long-tail impact of how we parent through sports. [54:18] Generational change starts with how we show up today.     Five Key Takeaways Kids quit because the game stops being fun—not because of screens, school, or injuries. Pressure from adults is the biggest culprit.  Travel sports demand 6–15 hours per week before adding training or lessons, often at the cost of family dinners and downtime.  Overuse injuries are exploding in kids as young as 9 due to year-round seasons and lack of rest.  Parents often push due to fear, self-validation, or scholarship fantasies, even though less than 5% of athletes ever receive any scholarship money.  The car ride home should NEVER be coaching time. The only things kids need to hear are: "I loved watching you play," "Where do you want to eat?" and "What do you want to listen to?"      Links & Resources Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Healthy Sports Parents (Jonathan Carone): https://healthysportsparents.com Healthy Sports Parents on Social: https://www.instagram.com/healthysportsparents/ Episode Show Notes: https://thedadedge.com/1413     Closing Remark If this episode gave you a new perspective on supporting your youth athlete, take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

In this episode of Coastal Idiots Katherine and Shane lock themselves in the studio to bask in the radiant chaos of comedy legend Eddie “Pump It Up” Pepitone. They gush over their hero while Eddie reflects on his heroes—most of whom Katherine pretends to recognize. The discussion ranges from Eddie's battle with good looks on stage, the mental illness lure of comedy and Eddie's trying to escape a murder scene in Fort Worth. The gang then plays “Airing of Grievances,” forcing Eddie to spit out the first word that comes to mind when shown random pop culture icons. The spectrum is broad: Machine Gun Kelly, Slinkies, Ron Jeremy… truly a fever dream of references. Finally, they dig into listener voicemails answering the eternal question: What's the worst thing your mom has ever said to you?

"We wake up every morning as a soul in a human body. That alone should be so incredibly fascinating to us." What if the hardest things you've lived through weren't punishments, but assignments your soul chose to help you grow? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Steffani LeFevour, modern-day soul strategist and author of You Are a Badass Mom and the forthcoming book Soul Assignments. Stteffani shares how childhood trauma, an alcoholic father, and the tragic loss of her sister cracked her open to a lifelong search for spiritual truth.   What You Will Learn: The impact of childhood trauma and grief on emotional development and identity. How growing up with an alcoholic parent shapes beliefs, coping mechanisms and adulthood patterns. Why families often end up on "grief islands" when they lack tools, language or support to process loss. How early exposure to death can spark a lifelong search for meaning, spirituality and healing. The role spiritual teachers and books can play in offering language and comfort when religion wasn't present at home. How alcohol can become an unconscious way to avoid feelings, fit in socially, or suppress unresolved pain. What it looks like to break generational chains of addiction through awareness, boundaries and intentional behavior. How to examine your own relationship with alcohol and shift from unconscious use to empowered choice. The importance of creating an alcohol-free "safe house" environment for teens and modeling a different norm. The concept of soul assignments and how reframing painful experiences can move someone out of victimhood. Why radical acceptance of past experiences becomes the foundation for emotional freedom and conscious creation. How thoughts, words, feelings, beliefs and stories function as "power tools" that shape every experience. The difference between using those power tools unconsciously vs. consciously. How to identify outdated stories and rewrite them into truer, more empowering narratives. The process of finding gifts inside even the most difficult events and how that transforms inner resilience. The value of viewing life from a soul-level perspective rather than only through a human-level lens. The path from learning spiritual principles to embodying them, teaching them and serving others with them. How a long-held dream can manifest through clarity, courage and consistent sharing of one's message. Why owning your unique perspective allows your voice, work and mission to expand in powerful new ways.   Connect with Steffani LeFevour Coach with Steph Connect with Anjel B.

Mens Room Question: For better or worse, how are you like your parents, or what do you not do because your parents did?

This episode is brought to you by Joi & Blokes, Troscriptions, and Caldera Lab. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD breaks down the truth behind GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, reframing them not as magic weight-loss shots but as hormone replacement therapies that reveal how dysfunctional most people's "weight-health hormones" have become. Ashley shares how digestion, nutrient status, genetics, and modern environmental pressures diminish the body's natural ability to regulate appetite, cravings, metabolism, and fat distribution — and why GLP-1 drugs can offer clarity but not a cure unless the underlying issues are addressed. She dives into muscle preservation, the limitations of BMI, the importance of fat-mass vs. scale weight, the root-cause approach to sustainable weight health, and what the future of GLP-1s means for generational wellness. This is a powerful conversation that blends science, personal insight, and actionable strategies to improve metabolic health — with or without medication.
