More Americans are leaving the United States than at any point in recent memory, and Portugal has become one of the most searched destinations. But what's driving the move, and what happens once you get there?   Richard Taylor is joined by John McNertney, Founder of Green Ocean Global Advisors, to unpack the realities of relocating from the US to Portugal. John has lived the journey himself. After moving from San Francisco to Lisbon during the pandemic, he now helps American expats, retirees, and internationally minded families navigate cross-border financial planning, US expat taxes, residency options, and long-term wealth management while living abroad.   Together, Richard and John explore why Portugal has become such a hotspot for Americans, what's changed politically and financially in recent years, and why so many expats are now thinking seriously about building a life and a financial foundation outside the United States.   The conversation gets into the practical detail that most people miss before they move: the difference between the Portugal Golden Visa and the D7 visa, the financial traps Americans fall into with PFICs, trusts, IRAs, and cross-border investment structures, and why proper planning before the move can save years of stress and significant money later on.   Richard and John also explore the emotional reality of expat life, including integration, language learning, culture shock, and why living abroad fundamentally changes the way people think about money, opportunity, and freedom.   Whether you're seriously considering a move to Portugal, researching second residency options, or simply curious why so many Americans are looking overseas right now, this episode offers a grounded and honest look at the opportunities and challenges of modern expat life. --  Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

Holistic Fertility, “Unexplained Infertility,” and Mercier Therapy with Dr. Jen Mercier In this episode, HeHe sits down with fertility specialist, midwife, and creator of Mercier Therapy Dr. Jennifer Mercier for a powerful conversation about infertility, reproductive health, and why so many families are being told “everything looks normal” while still struggling to conceive. Together, they unpack the reality behind “unexplained infertility,” the labs and diagnostics that are often skipped in traditional fertility care, and why true fertility support has to look at the whole body—not just your ovaries. Dr. Mercier breaks down cycle-specific hormone testing, thyroid health, prolactin, semen analysis, endometriosis, C-section scar tissue, and the environmental factors impacting fertility rates today, from microplastics and endocrine disruptors to chronic stress and lifestyle exposures. HeHe and Dr. Mercier also dive into restorative reproductive medicine, NaPro approaches, and Mercier Therapy, Dr. Mercier's pelvic visceral manipulation technique designed to support reproductive function and improve pelvic mobility.

In this episode of Circle Up and Get REAL, Jodee sits down with photographer, filmmaker, and creative visionary Josh Madson to explore an extraordinary journey of reinvention, purpose, and human connection. Josh shares how a broken-up band and a leap of faith led him from Minnesota to Los Angeles, where he built a successful career working alongside some of the biggest names in photography, including Annie Leibovitz and major commercial brands. Along the way, he learned that great photography is less about technical perfection and more about helping people feel comfortable, valued, and authentically themselves. But success didn't follow a straight line. During the pandemic, Josh found himself back in Minnesota, living with his mother, questioning his future, and searching for meaning after losing both income and direction. Out of that difficult season emerged an unexpected idea: a community portrait project that would eventually grow into Community Collage, a large-scale public art movement celebrating the people who make communities unique. Today, Community Collage has engaged thousands of people across multiple cities, including more than 1,200 participants in the Fargo-Moorhead area alone. Through free portrait sessions and massive public murals, Josh creates experiences that help people feel seen, appreciated, and connected to something larger than themselves. Together, Jodee and Josh explore themes of manifestation, personal responsibility, authenticity, belonging, and the power of creative work to bring people together. The conversation is a reminder that sometimes our greatest contributions emerge not from our highest moments of success, but from the seasons that force us to rediscover who we are and what truly matters. Josh will be one of the speakers at Fargo's TEDx in July. Find more about Josh at his website: www.communitycollage.org.

Kassi Ashton is the kind of artist who lights Up Every Room Like It’s Soaked in Kerosene Before most people knew her name, Kassi was offered 11 record deals, proof of the undeniable talent and star power she’s always had. In this episode, she shares how the music industry has both broken her heart and blessed her with a beautiful life and career. We talk about her love of fashion and how every look is part of her storytelling. For Kassi, style is not separate from the music. It is an extension of who she is. She also opens up about meeting her husband, the one person who was able to break through her walls. Their love story feels like pure soulmate material, and in true Kassi fashion, she even made her own wedding dress. We dive into her powerful new song, Bitches, an empowering anthem inspired by the strong women who raised her and a reminder not to take any nonsense from anybody.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailNonprofit conference strategy for fundraisers is not just about attending sessions — it's about turning time, travel, relationships, and learning into business value for your organization. Tim Sarrantonio, Founder of The Generosity Spectrum (and also a cohost of the Show), joins to share timely insights from the recent AFP International Conference and the broader conference landscape shaping nonprofit fundraising leadership.Tim brings a rare perspective as a sector educator, speaker, conference participant, and creator of game-based learning experiences for nonprofit leaders, boards, and communities. The conversation begins with AFP ICON — what it is, who attends, and why it matters — but quickly moves into a larger question: how can nonprofit professionals make conferences worth the investment?From the vendor hall to rooftop gatherings, from formal panels to side conversations, Tim explains why the strongest learning often happens outside the scheduled room. As he puts it, “Always, no matter what, ask yourself, why am I in this room?” That question becomes a powerful lens for fundraisers, CEOs, CFOs, board members, and development teams trying to maximize conference ROI.The episode also touches on the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, board education, sector trust, inclusive conference design, and the cautious optimism many nonprofit professionals are carrying into this next season. Tim notes, “People are ready to help. Vendors are there to help.” But he also challenges leaders to be thoughtful about where they spend their attention, energy, and budget.This conversation is especially useful for nonprofit professionals preparing for AFP ICON, Bridge Conference, AFP chapter events, vendor-hosted gatherings, or any sector learning experience. It offers a smarter way to think about nonprofit networking strategy, fundraising leadership development, and the business case for attending conferences.For nonprofit leaders, this episode is a reminder: don't just show up.

Stephen Colbert is finishing his run as a late night talk show host this week (tomorrow, to be exact). Before he took on this role, back in 2005 he was host of a political satire program called The Colbert Report, where he coined the term "truthiness." Truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the perceptions of some individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectural examination, or fact.  While it was satire in 2005, I wonder how it plays out in our current times. I also talked today about learning. If learning = change, then if I haven't changed, I haven't learned. What might it be that prevents people from admitting they might not have had all the information when they formed an opinion? Something keeps us from changing our minds, which, then, points to our inability or unwillingness to change and grow. I mention John Miller's book and body of work on personal accountability, QBQ (www.qbq.com). I also mention Mandy Patinkin's version of "You Must Be Carefully Taught/Children Will Listen." Here is a link to the video: https://youtu.be/owxRpV7l8Dc?si=LXZuug4-cvdFvDf2

Lately my wonders and ponders have been really impactful as I'm learning things about myself I either overlooked or didn't realize. Owning my greatness has been a journey, for sure, and I am continuing to pull out bags, look at the contents, and decide to throw some of that baggage out (both literally and figuratively). I've been pondering topics like love at work, fierce conversations (like those Susan Scott tells us about in her book of the same name), attachment vs. commitment, and so much more. In this episode I share some ideas and ponderings that might look like coincidences, but are really the universe working on my behalf. I mention Marcus Buckingham's new book "Design Love In," Byron Katie's "Loving What Is," and Steve Farber's "Love is Just Damn Good Business," as well as this video which inspired the Assume - Receive - Repeat process. https://youtu.be/9CXIYKDIR3c?si=38OaxjFGttBkD7gi Here is the link for the Enlightened Leadership Lab: www.emergentculturelabs.com/leadershiplab

Some conversations stay with you forever, and this is one of them. Getting to talk with Amy Grant felt surreal. We talked about her powerful new album, The Me That Remains, her first album in 13 years, a project that beautifully weaves together the stories, seasons, and soul of a life fully lived. We went all the way back to the beginning… from being discovered and signed over the phone at just 16 years old, to building a beautiful life and love story with Vince Gill (who, as it turns out, measure their love in dogs ❤️). Amy was the very first artist I ever truly fell in love with. My sister and I absolutely wore out Heart in Motion, singing into our hairbrushes like we were on stage right beside her. To get to talk with someone whose music helped shape your childhood, and hear the stories behind the legend, was something I’ll never forget.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever found yourself thinking: “I came to mindfulness to feel better… so why am I noticing more?”, then this episode is for you. In Episode 6 of ‘Getting Real with Mindfulness', Claire Kelly and Victoria Fontana explore a question that comes up again and again in mindfulness courses: What's the point of noticing if we're not being asked to fix anything? Together, they reflect on why noticing can feel uncomfortable, overwhelming, or even frustrating at first, and why it's also a crucial foundation for change. From trust and patience, to kindness, choice, and agency, this conversation gently unpacks what's really being trained when we “just notice”. This is a grounded, honest discussion about: Why awareness often comes before change How noticing isn't passive even when it feels like “doing nothing” What mindfulness is training beneath the surface And how compassion, rather than striving, opens new ways of responding If you'd like to get in touch to share your thoughts, reflections or ideas for future episodes, we'd love to hear from you.

In today's episode Jodee speaks with Chris Dyer, author of the new book "Moments That Matter," about his framework for identifying, understanding, and responding to significant moments in both business and personal life. Chris shares how his experience as a former CEO who built a company where employees loved working led him to realize that moments, not just consistent culture or leadership, were what made the biggest difference in employee satisfaction. They discussed his three-step approach to handling moments: stopping to assess, determining what others need from you, and deciding who you want to be in that moment. Chris explained his framework of seven types of moments that control everything, from inception and transition moments to connection and culmination moments, and how understanding these can help people show up more intentionally in their lives and leadership roles. Hire Chris to speak at your next conference or find his books at his website, www.chrisdyer.com or find him on any of the social platforms.

At 13, Tenille Arts was in her bedroom in small-town Saskatchewan, singing Blue and dreaming of a life in country music. Years later, she stood on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry singing it alongside LeAnn Rimes in a moment that felt almost too full-circle to be real. In this episode, Tenille pulls back the curtain on everything it took to get there, the quiet years, the doubt, building her career from the ground up in Nashville, and the breakthrough that changed everything. She opens up about love, heartbreak, behind the scenes on The Bachelor, and the story behind “Don’t Ruin Flowers,” plus the personal “unbecoming” that brought her back to herself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are at least a couple of ways of thinking about consistency. What keeps happening TO me or what do I bring with me because of who I'm being? I have noticed some similarities in conversations I've been having over the past couple of weeks. Why should I be surprised, since I'm what my experiences have in common? The song Kara recommended we listen to is "If You Can't Find Hope" by Able Heart. HOW APPROPRIATE for this conversation! Here's a link: https://youtu.be/mDhOVSMUDaE?si=opwd07INZ4OyGs_Y Let's talk about what keeps showing up.

She just dropped her album LACED, but the real story runs deeper. From calling off her wedding and walking away from toxic love, to navigating industry betrayal and questioning everything… even music itself. And in the middle of it all, processing the loss of her cousin, a grief that shaped more of this album than anyone knows. This is about heartbreak, faith, identity, and finally choosing herself. So after everything… who is Morgan now, and what is she no longer willing to stay silent about?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Janine was the first guest EVER that Pauly had on this very show wayyyy back when it was still a radio show, some 10 or 11 years ago. Since then, she has done nothing but thrive, expanding her business into catering and eventually opening La Bola downtown inside the Mercantile on Main. But it all started with Avvino, on Monroe Avenue.Mentioned in this episode:Joe Bean RoastersVisit joebeanroasters.com to get fresh roasted specialty coffee either by the bag or with a Perpetual Joy subscription!Nights and WeekendsStay connected to Rochester's local music scene with Nights and Weekends! https://feeds.captivate.fm/nightsandweekends/Getting Real with Bossy: For Women Who Own BusinessCheck out Getting Real with Bossy: For Women Who Own Business on Lunchador! https://feeds.captivate.fm/gettingrealwithbossy/

Should you have lots of friends or not? Should you have just some really close ones? I think before this question should be an audit of how you view friends to begin with. What is the purpose of a friend? Is a friend a luxury or a necessity? What are the pros and cons? A few years ago a book came across my desk, titled The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs. Just the focus on friends caught my attention, and as I started reviewing the book, I felt it was entirely relevant for men and ultimately, anyone. The author, and my guest in this episode, is Laura Tremaine. I thoroughly appreciated her perspectives on friendships. Some highlights for me was her looking at having multiple friends, for multiple purposes. She actually has 11 chapters for 11 types of friendships. I found that I'd fulfilled some, had some missing that I wanted, and there were some slots I didn't care to fill. Something else I interested myself with is Laura saying her husband is not her best friend. She had her best friend long before him and he didn't replace her. But she counts her husband as her most important friend. I've never forgotten this conversation and continue to help myself with how I reoriented my perspective on friendships every since. You can find Laura on your podcast platform, she has a very popular podcast called, 10 Things To Tell You where she speaks primarily to women about friendship, anxiety, motherhood, and marriage.

Fai West was just 10 years old when she was first introduced to the teachings of Soulaire Allerai and the Soulful Journey. A few years later, as a teenager in high school, she found herself living in Soulaire's basement, sleep deprived from attending multiple late-night classes and channelings of an omniscient being known as ‘G', and learning about her own presence in a future dimension called The 99.

At just 11 years old, she went viral for what was called the “worst national anthem” performance and faced global bullying that followed her for years. But instead of staying stuck in that moment, she kept going, growing stronger, grounded in her faith, and eventually stepping into her identity as a signed country artist. Now she’s back with her new single If Daddy Says No, a song about self-worth, recognizing what you deserve, and refusing to settle for less than that. She’s also opening up for the first time about a deeply painful experience from her childhood involving someone she trusted, and the long journey of healing, faith, and finding her voice again. From public humiliation to private pain to powerful purpose, this is her story of resilience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wondered if marriage should just "click" when it's meant to be? In this episode, Addison and Juli tackle three destructive myths that can silently erode relationships. Drawing from their own 18 years of marriage, they share how expectations like "if they loved me, they'd just know" and "my spouse is the problem" create distance instead of connection.

Most business leaders think they're good at gathering feedback. They send surveys. They hold quarterly reviews. They ask “How are things going?” in the hallway. They're also getting lied to every single day. Not maliciously. Not intentionally. But the feedback they're receiving is filtered through confirmation bias, political maneuvering, and people's natural tendency to tell you what they think you want to hear instead of what you need to know. Victor Hunt has spent his career solving this exact problem, and what he's discovered will challenge everything you think you know about understanding your customers, your team, and your business. The Archaeologist vs. The Psychologist In this episode of The Systematic Leader, Victor introduces a framework that will fundamentally shift how you approach feedback: the difference between being an archaeologist and being a psychologist. Most leaders act like psychologists. They come in with hypotheses, looking for specific answers to validate their assumptions. Victor argues we should operate more like archaeologists: carefully uncovering the truth that's already there, layer by layer, without imposing our preconceptions on what we find. The implications for your business? Massive. When you're making decisions about where to invest resources, which products to develop, or how to improve your operations, the quality of your feedback determines whether you're building on solid ground or quicksand. The Systems Behind the Systems What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is Victor's origin story. His obsession with systems didn't come from business school or consulting frameworks. It emerged from childhood experiences with Legos, video games, and coordinating a large, dispersed family. These early pattern-recognition exercises shaped how he now helps organizations design processes that actually work in the real world, not just in theory. For service-based business executives, this matters because your competitive advantage isn't just what you do. It's how efficiently and effectively your systems allow you to do it. Victor reveals how he thinks about building systems that scale without breaking, and more importantly, how to identify which systems are actually worth your time to optimize. The Campaign Framework for Executives Who Can't Afford Distraction Perhaps the most immediately actionable insight from this conversation is Victor's approach to managing time and priorities in an era of infinite options and constant distraction. He's developed what he calls “campaigns,” focused 7-20 week initiatives with crystal-clear metrics and milestones. This isn't your typical goal-setting exercise. It's a complete framework for how to say no to 95% of opportunities so you can say a full-throated yes to the 5% that actually move the needle. In an age where AI and technology create more possibilities than any human can possibly pursue, the ability to maintain laser focus on what truly matters has become the ultimate competitive advantage. Why This Conversation Matters Now If you're running a service-based business, you're facing a unique challenge: your systems need to be tight enough to scale, but flexible enough to deliver personalized value to each client. You need feedback mechanisms that tell you the truth, not what's comfortable. And you need prioritization frameworks that help you navigate the overwhelming array of choices technology now provides. Victor Hunt has built his career solving exactly these problems. The insights he shares aren't theoretical. They're battle-tested systems that have helped organizations cut through noise, eliminate waste, and focus on what actually drives results. Connect with Victor Hunt  on LinkedIn  or visit Zingage to learn more about his work. Because the difference between businesses that scale smoothly and those that struggle isn't talent or opportunity. It's systems.

She’s a burst of light and truth, Hosanna Wong stopped by the studio and brought the kind of energy you don’t forget. In her new book, Uncomplicate It, she shares her powerful story, growing up with a father who battled addiction, found God, and built a church under a bridge where everyone was welcome, no matter their struggles. Hosanna opens up about her own journey through faith, how it became confusing, heavy, and overcomplicated, and why she felt called to strip it all back to what matters most: a real, direct, love-filled relationship with God. Known for her viral spoken word piece I Have a New Name, she’s here to break barriers, bring clarity, and remind us that faith was never meant to be complicated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kara Birge has built a life with her husband, country artist George Birge on one simple philosophy: trust God and have fun through every season. From meeting at the University of Texas to early days flipping houses and working corporate jobs, to moving to Nashville for a record deal and starting over more than once, their journey has been full of faith, risk, and resilience. Through it all they’ve raised two boys, navigated the highs and challenges of the music business, and watched George score two No. 1 hits at country radio with “Mind On You” and “Cowboy Songs.” Now the adventure continues with a brand new collaboration with Luke Bryan “It Won’t Be Long,” proving that trusting the season and keeping fun at the center has been their secret weapon all along.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caroline sat down with Caroline Bryan back in 2019 and we're sharing that episode ICYMI! Not only is Caroline a total bombshell, she is the funniest prankster I have ever witnessed. Over Christmas, Caroline did “the 12 days of pranks” where she hid in a life size teddy bear and scared every family member and friend walking by, put fingernail polish on a bar of soap only to hear Luke wonder why it’s not lathering up lol, plus many more pranks involving snakes, fog horns and fart machines. She also has a sidekick, LeClaire, Luke’s mother-in-law. Luke definitely got his dance moves from his mother, bc she can cut a rug! The Bryan Family is so much fun and so inspiring. They know how to enjoy life and find joy in everyday. Caroline and I chat about her love story with Luke and how they met in college. We also talk about how she and Luke have survived tragedy. Luke lost both his siblings and brother-in-law, and took in their 3 children: a son who was in high school and 2 college age daughters to live with them and their 2 sons Bo and Tate. Caroline and Luke also started a charity, Brett’s Barn, with Caroline’s brother and sister-in-law, in honor of her brother’s daughter Brett who died at a very young age. Brett’s Barn opens its doors to sick and disabled children to come pet and love on the animals. It’s a true sanctuary. Caroline has a heart of gold and uses her life to spread love and healing and laughs. She is such an example of faith. It was amazing to hear her story with Luke and see how they have such an incredible marriage and life in the midst of the wild world of the music industry and personal heartbreak.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
