What do we gain from all of our "TOIL" or our all of our "HARD WORK". God has given man an eternal perspective so that he can look beyond the routine of life.Ecclesiastes 3:9-11 speaks to The God-Given Task, saying...“What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”Today, we will allow God through preacher-king Solomon answer the age old question as to what we human beings get out of all our "TOIL", all of our work here on earth. Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE this episode as a simple way to help us reach the world with the Love, Truth, and Word of God...we truly appreciate youBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

Physical therapy is having a moment — and not all of it is comfortable.In this episode, Jimmy McKay breaks down a growing debate around PT salary, burnout, career growth, and work ethic, sparked by posts from veteran physical therapist Rob Panariello.Rob argues that success in physical therapy comes from exceptional effort, clinical excellence, and personal responsibility — a framework that built many successful careers.But newer physical therapists are asking a different question: Does hard work still reliably convert into opportunity in today's healthcare system?This episode explores:Why PT salaries feel stagnantHow student loan debt changes career mathWhere hard work still compounds — and where it doesn'tWhy this isn't a generational fightAnd what needs to change to retain great cliniciansThis isn't a rant.It's a translation — between effort and incentives, experience and reality.

You might call it ambition. Work ethic. Faithfulness. Discipline. But sometimes "busy" is just pain avoidance with better branding. In this episode, Spencer and Sammi unpack what they call hustloin—the cycle where hustle and busyness become a way to outrun what you don't know how to feel. From the tension of motherhood and autonomy, to entrepreneurship, provision pressure, and the subtle addiction to significance… we get honest about what's really driving you when you can't slow down. We talk about: The difference between purposeful work and pain-driven hustle How "I have to do it all" creates chronic overwhelm Why you can't problem-solve well while you're triggered (and what to do first) The motherhood tension: impact and autonomy vs presence and slow living The "10x version of you" high—and how it can become a form of self-medication Integrity, impostor syndrome, and why connection has to come first If you've been calling it productivity but it feels like pressure… this conversation will put language to what's happening inside you—and give you a path back to peace without quitting your life. If this hit home, share it with a friend who's "always busy." And if you want to go deeper into emotional health, wholeness, and building a life from connection, stay close—we're bringing you into the real conversation.     See all of our resources at www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com

Ready for a Spiritual Fresh Start? Looking to deepen your prayer life beyond the holiday season? Download our free guide to Carmelite spirituality to help you navigate the new year with purpose and peace: https://midnightcarmelite.com/reset Why is the spiritual life such a struggle? When we are asked to detach from the things we love and "walk by starlight," it can feel like an endless battle in the dark. But St. John of the Cross offers a powerful reason why this hard work isn't just necessary—it is the only path to true freedom. In this episode, we dive deep into the "Active Night of the Senses" and the reality of walking by the light of pure faith. We explore the difficult work of mortification and self-denial, viewing them not as arbitrary punishments, but as essential training to reorient our inner compass toward God. We also discuss the profound difference between undergoing purification here on earth versus in Purgatory, and why love for Christ—rather than fear—is the ultimate incentive for embracing the journey. In this episode, you will learn: The Active Night Explained: Understand the subtle but critical difference between healthy recreation and the spiritual danger of seeking consolation for its own sake.Purgatory Now vs. Later: Discover why St. John of the Cross argues that purification in this life (with the body) is preferable to the "unnatural" state of purification in the next.The Path to Union: Learn how the heavy lifting of virtue we do now eventually gives way to a "spiritual marriage" where God's grace takes over the effort.

Sean Barnes breaks down one of the most common career myths: that hard work alone guarantees advancement. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. Sean walks through why so many high performers stall out at the manager or director level, how the Peter Principle quietly derails careers, and what it really takes to move from individual contributor to executive leader. This episode is a must-watch for professionals who feel stuck despite working harder than everyone around them.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 264 | 01.13.2025 Episode Title: Why Hard Work Alone Won't Get You Promoted   Key Moments 00:00 – Why “do the work” isn't the whole story 00:29 – The corporate pyramid and the hustle mindset 01:06 – Why hard workers still get stuck 01:33 – Skill gaps that prevent upward movement 02:06 – The Peter Principle explained 02:31 – When titles outpace leadership capability 03:32 – Step 1: Observe leaders above you 04:16 – Executive communication vs task-level thinking 04:46 – Confidence vs competence in leadership 05:45 – Step 2: Intentionally develop new skills 06:20 – Why proximity to excellence matters 06:56 – Step 3: Apply, test, and refine 07:25 – Becoming a force multiplier 07:57 – The real path to meaningful career progression   Key Takeaways Hard work alone won't move you up. Advancement happens when you develop the skills required at the next level, not just when you work harder at your current one. Observe how leaders above you actually operate. Pay attention to how executives think, communicate, and influence, not just what they tell you to do. Leadership is learned through observation as much as instruction. Career growth shifts from output to impact. As you level up, success is no longer about individual contribution. It's about becoming a force multiplier who elevates the people and outcomes around you.   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/ The Wolf Leadership Series: https://wolfexecutives.com/wolf-leadership-series/ YouTube: youtube.thewayofthewolf.com Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives https://www.instagram.com/the_wayofthewolf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes Email: Sean@thewayofthewolf.com Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-of-the-Wolf-Podcast/B08JJNXJ6C Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTGdO25Vop3GTpGCY8Y8E?si=ea91c1ef6dd14f15

Journalist/author Sam Quinones joins us this hour to talk about The Perfect Tuba: Forging Fulfillment from the Bass Horn, Band, and Hard Work.

In this episode, we sit with the Urdu word 'mehnat' which is usually translated as 'hard work', but carrying far more tiredness, repetition, and lived experience.Moving between everyday life and Urdu poetry, the episode pushes back against the idea that hard work always guarantees success. From the comforting language of motivational culture to the kind of labour that happens quietly, without visibility or reward, 'mehnat' here is effort that continues even when energy runs low and outcomes remain uncertain.At the centre of the episode is Kaifi Azmi's nazm Makan, which speaks directly to inequality, to those who build homes, palaces, and comfort for others, while having no place of rest themselves.This is not a motivational talk. It's a conversation about work that doesn't shine, effort that isn't applauded, and the kind of labour that changes life gradually, over time, rather than all at once.

What To Do With a Frustrating Employee In Your Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down one of the hardest parts of owning a clinic: dealing with a talented but frustrating employee. You know the type. Great with patients, solid outcomes, but sloppy with systems, notes, and follow through. Danny walks through the three real options you have, why "letting it slide" destroys culture, and how to use a performance improvement plan to either turn things around or coach someone out. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The classic pattern of the friendly, high-output clinician who struggles with systems Why tolerating mediocrity from one person lowers the standard for your entire team The three options you have with a frustrating employee (and the one most owners avoid) How to build and run a simple, effective performance improvement plan (PIP) Why leadership and standards matter more than any one hire How "coaching people out" protects your culture and your A-players Questions to ask yourself about your onboarding, training, and systems Claire: Get Your Attention Back on Patients Danny opens with a reminder of how fast documentation can pull your attention away from patients. As PTs, we pride ourselves on building rapport and relationships, but it is hard to do that when you spend half the session staring at a laptop. Claire, the AI scribe built specifically for physical therapists, lets you give patients 100% of your attention while it writes your notes for you. No more "split attention" between EMR and patient Better engagement and outcomes because you are actually present Notes drafted for you based on the session so you can review and finalize Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai The Talented but Frustrating Employee Danny describes a very familiar pattern in service businesses. You hire someone you like. They are a good culture fit. Patients love them. Outcomes are strong. But behind the scenes, they: Drag their feet on notes and documentation Ignore or half-follow systems and processes Show up a little late, miss small details, or respond slowly to emails and Slack They are not a disaster. They are not a clear liability. But they are not meeting the standard either. That gray area is exactly where most owners get stuck. First, Own Your Part as the Owner Before you blame the employee, Danny challenges you to look in the mirror. Have you: Actually trained them on your EMR, project management tools, and communication systems? Explained why those systems matter (data, tracking, meetings, outcomes, marketing)? Given them clear expectations, examples of "done right," and time to practice? Most owners are busy and rush onboarding. They throw people into the deep end with a few screen-share videos and hope they figure it out. Then they get mad when the systems are not followed. Your Three Options With a Frustrating Employee Once you are honest about your own role, you really have three options: Let it go. Accept that this person is just this way. They are good with patients, weak with systems, and you live with it. Let them go. Fire them for not following processes and creating extra work for others. Create a performance improvement plan. Sit down, define what needs to change, and track progress over a set period. Danny explains why the first option is the most dangerous. When you tolerate one person ignoring standards, everyone else sees it. Your A-players start to wonder why they are working so hard. Support staff quietly resent the extra work. The real standard becomes "we say we care about systems, but we do not enforce them." How to Build a Performance Improvement Plan The go-to approach in Danny's companies is a structured performance improvement plan (PIP). It usually looks like this: Define the specific problems (late notes, missing CRM updates, slow responses, etc.). Clarify why each behavior matters to the business and the team. Decide what is truly necessary for the role and remove anything redundant. Set clear, measurable expectations for the next 4–6 weeks. Meet weekly to review progress, answer questions, and coach them on better workflows. Make it clear this is a non-negotiable standard if they want to keep the role. This is not about punishment. It is about support, clarity, and accountability. The PIP gives the employee a real chance to succeed with your help. What Usually Happens Next Once you run a real PIP, you tend to see one of two outcomes: They turn the corner. With training and clear expectations, they improve their systems work, become more efficient, and turn into a strong long-term hire. They opt out. They resist change, make excuses, and realize this is not a place where they can do whatever they want. They often resign on their own. Either way, you win. You either save a good clinician by giving them structure or you protect your culture by making it clear that standards are real. Leadership, Standards, and A-Players Danny points out that your best people are always watching how you handle situations like this. A-players want: Clear standards and consistency Leaders who follow through, not just talk about culture Teammates who pull their own weight When you avoid hard conversations and let someone slide, your A-players lose respect and start looking elsewhere. When you hold the line, they respect you more and see your clinic as a place worth investing their energy. The Hard Work of Real Leadership Leading people is often the limiting factor in whether a clinic ever scales. It is not manual skills. It is not marketing hacks. It is your willingness to: Have tough, honest conversations Take responsibility for training and support Set standards and enforce them consistently Spend time coaching people, even when you feel "time poor" That work is uncomfortable, but it is the difference between a team that drifts into mediocrity and one that grows with you for years. Want Help Navigating This as a Clinic Owner?

Kyle Van Noy reflects on how a supportive partner can make all the difference—someone who shares the load and helps you grow. He also shares how BYU shaped his character and the lessons he learned riding the highs and lows of a 12-year NFL career.

What are you constrained by? What is a constraint? A constraint is the smallest opening, like the eye of the needle whenever we hear that in scripture. The thing about a constraint is we're trying to get a lot done through this small eye of the needle. A constraint is an energy thing. It's a mind thing. It's a time thing. It's a perception thing. It's an attitude thing. Often, a constraint is that we don't have the inner knowing or the inner courage that is going to get us into the eye of the needle and onto the other side. The eye of the needle is often thought to mean you work harder, you push and push and push. If you've ever tried to thread a needle through that little eye, you know it's pretty tough, especially if you can't see clearly where the opening is. The same thing happens with a constraint. We don't always know the opening, so we try to push more through. The opening is you. Your allowingness. Your attitude. How you perceive time. How you perceive yourself. Are you having a good time doing what you're doing? If you think what you're offering is difficult, hard, or problematic, and you're not having fun doing it, you should probably be doing something else. Having your own business is not a grind. It is not a hustle. It is not about working harder. Having your own business is about doing something for the fun of it. Yes, you'll get a reward on the other side, but you have to have fun while you're doing it. That opens the eye much more widely. Another thing you want to have is a different attitude. Most people around us don't know how to help us have a positive, upbeat attitude. They know how to keep us low, small, stuck, and limited. They keep us in fear. Society is like that. Society and the news are constraints. But constraints are surmountable. Your attitude can change everything. Your energy can change everything. Energy is what needs to be aligned. If you're worried, your energy becomes small and close to you. If you're afraid, your energy becomes even tighter. If you have positivity, good-heartedness, and fun doing what you're doing—if you're on a mission, solving problems, and helping someone get a result—that's how you move through constraints. That's how I've built businesses. That's how I've helped thousands of businesses. Your constraint is overlookable. Your constraint is on the other side of alignment—alignment of energy first, then alignment of mind. Why energy first? Because of how your energy affects your body. When your energy is expansive, you become a magnetizer. When your energy is tight—worried, fearful, anxious, jealous, or angry—you can't get to the other side of the constraint. Energy always comes first. Then you deal with the mind. Then the mission. Then the message. Then the next step, and the next. Get out of your constraints.

Episode 228: In early January, advice is everywhere. Friends offer encouragement. Social media fills with tidy aphorisms. But beneath the flood of guidance sits an uncomfortable question we rarely confront: How much of what happens to us is actually within our control? Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada take on that question by examining the role chance plays in shaping lives — and how ignoring it can distort the way people judge themselves and others. The conversation begins with a familiar moment: times of transition. New jobs, moves, health scares and relationship changes often leave people searching for direction. Those moments, Rada notes, are when advice feels most powerful — and most dangerous. Kyte argues that advice often sounds wiser in hindsight than it truly is, especially when people mistake favorable outcomes for proof that certain paths were inevitable. Throughout the episode, the hosts explore why stories of achievement tend to emphasize effort and intention while quietly overlooking randomness, timing, and circumstance. That omission, they suggest, fuels harsh self-judgment and unfair assumptions about others. When things go well, people feel deserving. When they do not, blame comes easily. Kyte draws on philosophy, behavioral research and personal experience to explain how probability, preparation and habit matter — but never operate alone. A discussion of health decisions, including lifestyle changes prompted by medical warning signs, illustrates how agency and uncertainty coexist rather than compete. Doing the “right” things, Kyte says, increases odds but never guarantees results.

Speak with one of Dr. Grace's trusted advisors here: https://m.masteryinsights.com/application What Is the Manager-to-Director Transition Framework? The Manager-to-Director Transition Framework explains why advancement is not about accumulating more skills but about reconfiguring how you think, lead, and create value. It defines the three key growth areas senior leaders look for before expanding your scope of influence: value, capacitance, and logic. Key Concepts and Mechanisms: Value Through Leverage: Managers are rewarded for execution. Directors are trusted for leverage, which multiplies output through systems, influence, and strategic decisions. Capacitance vs. Capacity: Capacity is what you can hold now. Capacitance is how much more you can hold later. It grows when you change your environment, expand your influence, and shorten critical gaps in power, vision, and mastery. Logic Senior Leaders Trust: Directors think in probabilities, not certainties. They diagnose root causes and use multidirectional logic that integrates both vision and data. The Internal Operating System: The mindset that once served you can begin to limit you. Director-level thinking requires upgrading your internal architecture to handle greater complexity. Discussion: When you reflect on your current approach, are you focused on execution or on leverage?

Embracing New Beginnings: The Transformative Journey Inspired by Paul Join us for an inspiring message about embracing new beginnings and the transformative journey with God. In this episode, we discuss several upcoming events and the importance of staying connected through our app. We also share a powerful sermon on newness, using the story of Paul (formerly Saul) as an example. Learn how God invites us into new seasons of life, often through disruptions, and how our small, consistent steps of faith can lead to profound transformation. Discover the significance of trusting God's timing and being patient as He works within us, even when we face external pressures and skepticism from others. This sermon encourages us to recognize God's new mercies every morning and to take the next step with faith, knowing that God believes in us more than we may believe in ourselves. 00:00 Welcome and Announcements 01:53 Embracing New Beginnings 08:03 The Story of Saul to Paul 11:52 The Disruption of Certainty 16:07 Paul's Transformation and Our Journey 20:13 Paul's Initial Transformation 21:03 The Hard Work of Change 22:22 Renewing the Mind 24:29 Facing External Pressures 28:12 Consistency Over Explanation 30:28 Moving Forward Despite Hesitation 33:11 Embracing New Life 37:52 God's Unfailing Mercy

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today's conversation I sit down with powerhouse publicist KJ Blattenbauer, a champion for bold brands and especially female founders. With nearly three decades of PR experience, KJ shares her unapologetic approach to visibility, reframing the word “bossy” as a badge of leadership, credibility, and empowerment rather than an insult. Together, KJ and I dive into the challenges women face around judgment, fear of being “too much,” and the conditioning that encourages us to shrink instead of shining in our ambition. This episode is packed with real talk about embracing your power, the importance of claiming authority, navigating corporate dynamics, and why being your own hype woman is not just okay—it's essential. From stories about corporate America to advice for women wanting to blaze their own path, KJ offers inspiration, tangible strategies, and a big permission slip to be visible and authentic—bossiness and all. If you've ever worried about being called “too bossy,” this conversation will help you see it as your superpower. Let's get into it!

In this episode of the Elevate Media Podcast, Chris Anderson welcomes Jay Setchell, a remarkable guest whose life journey embodies extreme resilience. Raised on a farm, a Marine Corps veteran, an entrepreneur, and a corporate leader, Jay has faced and overcome unimaginable challenges, including dying three times, a debilitating accident that left him paralyzed, and 73 surgeries.

This is a raw and uncompromising conversation about finding strength within pain, adjusting your mindset, and why giving up is simply not an option.In this episode, you will learn:What fundamentally changes in a man's mind and purpose after multiple near-death experiences.The profound difference between "hope" and "true belief/faith" when pursuing goals.The concept of "The Set of the Sail" and how a slight adjustment in attitude can change your entire direction.Why Jay believes modern society is raising a "country of soft people" and what is owed to their parents.The mindset and commitment required for an entrepreneur to succeed, and why it's better to make less money doing what you love.How to harness anger, frustration, or even chronic pain to drive yourself forward and accomplish what you need to do.Jay's conviction that "it's always too soon to quit" and that a life of service and helping others is the ultimate purpose.

A fresh calendar won't change your life—your habits will. We kick things off with a light jab at New Year superstitions and quickly get into the real drivers of progress: discipline, honest self-audits, and the courage to adapt when your industry shifts under your feet. If you've felt the pull of comfort or the lure of blaming “the system,” you'll hear why we're doubling down on ownership this year and stacking more “lottery tickets” by writing, showing up, and doing the work even when it isn't glamorous.We also share what it takes to perform live when the weather fights back, why we refuse to lean on tracks, and how authenticity reads from the stage—especially on a freezing New Year's Eve. From there, we rewind our most-watched conversations of the year and unpack why those episodes hit so hard. Names like John Rich, Jason Aldean, Kirk Herbstreit, Hulk Hogan, and Rob O'Neill brought stories that stuck with us, and we lay out a bold wish list for the next run—think Peyton Manning, Jeff Foxworthy, Dennis Quaid, and Dale Jr. If you've got a guest in mind, we want to hear it.The heart of this one is about people and priorities. We talk circles of trust, boundaries, and how to spot relationships that drain more than they give. When is it worth trying to reconcile, and when is a “hard cut” the healthiest move? The answers aren't soft, but they are simple: loyalty matters, reciprocity matters, and your time is precious. Traditions can be fun—black-eyed peas, cornbread, cabbage—but they're not engines for change. Systems are. If you're stepping into a new year, consider this your nudge to set goals you act on today, not after midnight.If this hit home, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and drop a comment with the guest you want to hear next. And if you're feeling generous, leave a quick review—it helps more folks find the show.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

Let's do this! The Cult of Hockey podcast. By the Faithful and for the Faithful. Today Kurt Leavins and David Staples of the Edmonton Journal digs into the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 loss to the Flames of Calgary

Jesus calls us to forgive, but that doesn't mean it's easy. What is easy is to hold onto bitterness, resentment, and to hold onto those debts that our debtors owe us... but Christ calls us to live differently. To live free and to forgive because He freed and forgave us. I know this message may be hard for some, but my friend Yana Jenay Conner gracefully invites us all to walk out in forgivness and live beyond offense God's way, and her story will inspire you to do the same!

The holidays are supposed to be magical… so why do they feel like a full-time job no one applied for? In this unapologetically grinchy episode, Jayna drops her Holiday Grinch List and counts down the 10 things she HATES about Christmas  This isn't about poo poo-ing festive fun — it's about calling out how wildly complicated we've made the holidays, especially for women. Expect laughs, truth bombs, relatable rants, and a reminder that the real magic isn't in the gifts, décor, or perfectly curated moments — it's in presence, connection, and chilling the f*ck out.  If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or secretly wanted to cancel Christmas (but dont want to be considered a grinch), this episode gives you a safe space to admit, it can be HARD WORK pulling all the strings behind the scenes.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Michael Burgess, Chief People Officer at Amey, to unpack what it really takes to build credibility, influence, and impact in HR when you don't start with privilege, pedigree, or permission.Michael shares his journey from leaving school at 16 and working as a farm labourer, to becoming a CPO responsible for people, culture, safety, and operations at scale. Along the way, he explains why hard work consistently beats talent, and why enjoying the work itself is the most underrated driver of long-term performance.Most importantly, he breaks down a deeply practical view of modern HR, why getting the basics right earns you the seat at the table, why listening without action destroys trust, and how widening the talent pool through second-chance hiring, apprenticeships, and prison-to-work pathways is not charity, but smart, future-ready leadership.

We were all told the same story. Work hard, get an education, and the world will reward you. Dr. Eliza Filby joins us to explain why that story has quietly collapsed, and why inheritance, family money, and generational wealth now shape your future more than anything you do on your own. This episode breaks down the truth about the great wealth transfer, why millennials feel like they are failing, why men are angrier, why women are more stressed than ever, why Gen Z sees the world more clearly than we did, and why most people's lives are shaped by money they never earned and stories they never questioned. If you have ever wondered why life feels harder than it was for your parents, this conversation will change the way you see work, success, family, and the future.

Journalist and author Sam Quinones talks about his newest book, The Perfect Tuba: Forging Fulfillment from the Brass Horn, Band, and Hard Work with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. Known for his reporting on the opioid crisis, Quinones turns to a more uplifting subject--the world of tuba players and high school marching bands. What begins as curiosity about an unusual instrument evolves into a moving exploration of how discipline, community, and devotion to craft can restore meaning and purpose in people's lives.
