Joe Jacobi is an Olympic gold medalist, performance coach, author, and speaker who transforms life's transitions into opportunities for growth. He uses the metaphor of riding waves, literally and figuratively, to help leaders and teams find clarity, purpose, and momentum.Joe earned the first U.S. Olympic gold medal in whitewater slalom canoeing at the 1992 Barcelona Games and later served as CEO of USA Canoe/Kayak, guiding organizational transformation with heart-centered leadership. Today, he coaches high-achieving professionals seeking clarity and renewal in midlife, helping them replace hustle with intention and reconnect with what truly matters.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Olympic gold medalist and performance coach Joe Jacobi. Together, they explore the importance of authenticity, internal alignment, and redefining high performance during the midlife chapters of life. Joe shares personal stories from his Olympic journey and his evolution into leadership and coaching. He discusses the power of questioning long-held beliefs, listening to the heart, and shifting from achievement-driven living to meaning-driven impact. Joe encourages listeners to embrace experimentation, purpose, and deeper self-awareness to unlock growth and fulfillment in both sales and life. KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthentic Leadership: True leadership and sales success emerge from alignment, honesty, and leading with heart—not just intellect.Redefining High Performance: Midlife offers an opportunity to reexamine success metrics and shift toward meaningful contribution and personal fulfillment.Questioning Assumptions: Revisiting long-standing beliefs (“Could the opposite of that be true?”) opens possibilities for growth and reinvention.Second-Half Strategy: The second half of life thrives on intention, purpose, and legacy rather than relentless hustle.Experimentation & Renewal: Small, low-risk experiments can spark renewed energy and prevent complacency or burnout.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESThe brain knows how to yell loudly and repetitively, but we need to give the heart more voice in the conversation.If you don't define high performance for yourself, the second half of life can feel like decomposition and disconnection.The best thing we could hope for is that the next generation faces a higher level of problems because of the conversations we're having now.It's about the bravery and courage to talk about the things no one talks about—but everyone thinks about.

Remove the ankle weights of the ego, tear open every Velcro of attachment, and let the primal wound be healed in the stillness of the Heart. Choose the upper death drive now: dissolve the false “I” into the ocean of pure Awareness, and let love strike the xylophone of the chakras until wisdom resounds and freedom becomes your only law. Then transmit that vibration to a world at the end of its story.

One stanza from the Trust in Heart poem says:Cut off all useless thoughts and words and there's nowhere you cannot go.Returning to the root itself, you'll find the meaning of all things.If you pursue appearances you overlook the primal source.Awakening is to go beyond both emptiness as well as form.I appreciate the clarity of these instructions. Here we find an invitation to practice with our thinking minds. I find that this instruction to “cut off” is more of an invitation to see through or into the thinking mind and recognize what thoughts really are. Especially thoughts that appear as hindrances. The repetitive inner critical thoughts, endless doubts, obsessive thinking about the future.What are thoughts made of? How long do they last?We are told in Buddhism to regard thought as another sense. What is this like? To notice the textural, auditorial, image-emotional experience of thinking.What happens when during a meditation period or in your daily life you turn attention to the thinking mind, to attend to the thought stream?When we see thoughts for what they are, they have less power over us. We don't have to believe or even identify with everything we think—we also don't need to get a in struggle with our thoughts.This teaching and practice empowers us to be more discerning. We use our thinking minds throughout the day—planning, reflecting, reasoning, contemplating, conversing.And it is possible to use the mind, without being used by the mind.This poem is inviting us to recognize the root of the thinking mind. The root of the thinking mind, is the root of all things. When we know experientially the true nature of the thinking mind which includes: doubt, inner critic, worry, anxiety, judgement, planning, other people's thoughts, views, perspectives—then they have less power over us.Then everything turns around, we can see the light, bodhicitta— within each thought and/or emotion—no matter the content.Dahui, as great Zen teacher of the 12C says it this way in a letter to one of his students.This very moment just cease to entertain thought, putting an end to the confused mind. Then you will know that there is no delusion to be destroyed, no awakening to be aspired to, and no discriminatory thought to be cut off. With time erroneous views will disappear of themselves, and you will be like a person drinking water and knowing for themselves whether it is hot or cold.The mind that is clearly aware of discriminatory thought taking place—how can this mind possibly be obstructed? How can there possibly be any other kind of mind than this one?Since times of old the wise have taken to discriminatory thought like dragons to water and tigers to mountains. They regard discriminatory thought as a companion, employing such thought as upaya, and on the basis of discriminatory thought practice universal compassion and carry out all sorts of buddha deeds. For them, discriminatory thought is never a source of suffering because they understand its source. Once the source of discriminatory thought is fathomed it becomes the locus of liberation and of release from samsara.May we recognize the source of all thoughts and find freedom and love in our nature!Thank you!

Christ is King of the Universe! We all know that and, at least in theory, we acknowledge and accept His Kingship over us. But that is where it gets tricky, because in practice, we can reject wholly or partially His Kingship over us. There is a rival to his authority and that is basically the EGO. In each soul there is a throne. Who sits in that throne? The Church celebrates this feast, not only to inform the world who we recognize as king, but also for us to examine ourselves about whether we practice our being subjects in his Kingdom. Look at the gospel today. The good thief made it to His Kingdom. Jesus promised him that he would be with Him "today" in paradise. How did he do it? He was punished for his having been a thief! He committed theft right there again. He stole the Heart of Jesus because he was sorry for his sins! Let us do the same!

As Fr. Mike suggests, the battle for purity is never more difficult than in our own day. With God's grace, we can prevail and find freedom from our temptations. Fr. Mike explains that we win this battle through chastity, purity of intention, purity of vision, and prayerful reliance on the Lord. He tells us how to pray for a pure gaze that allows us to see our brothers and sisters as God sees them. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2520-2533.

Dr. Stephan Blackwood joins the show to explore how language shapes consciousness, how words reveal the structure of reality, and why meaning is inseparable from relationship. They discuss the logic of reciprocity, the metaphysics of personhood, why civilization depends on truthful speech, and how distortion of language leads to confusion, tyranny, and cultural decay. Stephan explains how grammar and ontology mirror each other, how the Trinity reveals the deepest pattern of relational being, and why we can only know ourselves through our relationships with others — and with the divine. Dr. Stephan Blackwood is a philosopher, cultural critic, and co-founder of Ralston College, whose work focuses on the intersection of theology, art, and human purpose. // GUEST // Website: ⁠https://www.ralston.ac/⁠ X: ⁠https://x.com/stephenblackwd⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RalstonCollegeSavannah⁠ // SPONSORS // Heart and Soil Supplements (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://heartandsoil.co/ Blockware Solutions: https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com Onramp: https://onrampbitcoin.com/?grsf=breedlove Mindlab Pro: https://www.mindlabpro.com/breedlove The Farm at Okefenokee: https://okefarm.com/ Club Orange: https://www.cluborange.org/ // PRODUCTS I ENDORSE // Protect your mobile phone from SIM swap attacks: https://www.efani.com/breedlove Lineage Provisions (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://lineageprovisions.com/?ref=breedlove Colorado Craft Beef (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://coloradocraftbeef.com/ Salt of the Earth Electrolytes: http://drinksote.com/breedlove Jawzrsize (code RobertBreedlove for 20% off): https://jawzrsize.com // UNLOCK THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD'S BEST NON-FICTION BOOKS // https://course.breedlove.io/ // SUBSCRIBE TO THE CLIPS CHANNEL // /@robertbreedloveclips2996 // TIMESTAMPS // 0:00 – WiM Episode Trailer 1:21 – The Power of Language & the Structure of Reality 12:44 – How Grammar Reflects Being 24:02 – Personhood, Meaning & Relational Existence 33:18 – How Language Shapes Consciousness 38:17 – Heart and Soil Supplements 39:17 – Mine Bitcoin with Blockware Solutions 40:18 – The Crisis of Meaning in Modern Culture 52:11 – The Collapse of Shared Language 1:03:59 – Reciprocity & the Law That Governs Reality 1:17:40 – How Tyranny Begins with Language Corruption 1:33:15 – Onramp Bitcoin Custody 1:34:12 – Mind Lab Pro Supplements 1:35:22 – Truth as the Foundation of Civilization 1:55:40 – The Purpose of Human Speech 2:13:20 – The Farm at Okefenokee 2:14:29 – The Trinity & the Structure of Personhood 2:28:03 – Why Real Communication Requires Sacrifice 2:37:42 – Club Orange 2:38:09 – Culture, Identity & the Need for Shared Meaning 3:04:14 – Efani: Protect Yourself From SIM Swaps 3:05:20 – Unlock the Wisdom of the Best Non-Fiction Books // PODCAST // Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast… Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8… RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22 Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedlove Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Br… // SOCIAL // Breedlove X: https://x.com/Breedlove22 WiM?

Pastor Dru Rodriguez reflects on Psalm 16, highlighting David's confidence that God counsels him, even at night, shaping discernment in the deepest places of the heart. He encourages praying for God to instruct our innermost being and to quiet competing voices.

Money can so easily capture our hearts. It promises security, comfort, and control—but often leaves us anxious and striving for more. Yet when we give, something remarkable happens. We're declaring our dependence on God, not our bank accounts.Dr. Art Rainer—founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose—joined us recently to explore how generosity becomes an act of trust that transforms our hearts and deepens our faith.Money Reveals the HeartLarry Burkett often said, “Every spending decision is a spiritual decision.” Dr. Rainer agrees.“Jesus said, Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” Art explained. “The Bible makes it clear—money management reflects heart management.”Scripture contains over 2,000 verses about money and possessions. Why? Because few things so clearly reveal what—or whom—we truly trust. For believers, the central question is this: Do we believe God's promises about provision, and are we willing to surrender this area of life to Him?Giving as an Act of TrustDr. Rainer describes giving as a tangible expression of faith. “God doesn't tell us to give and then leave us hanging,” he said. “He ties promises to generosity.”Those promises fall into three beautiful truths—God will provide, multiply, and enrich.1. God Promises to ProvideIn Malachi 3:10, the Lord declares:“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do, I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in. Try it! Put me to the test!”“God invites us to trust Him,” Art said. “He promises to pour out an abundance of blessings—not necessarily material wealth, but blessings that can be spiritual, relational, or emotional. Maybe it's the contentment you've been chasing for years, or the joy of being part of something far greater than yourself.”2. God Promises to MultiplyIn John 6, a young boy offers his five loaves and two fish to Jesus—hardly enough to feed five thousand hungry people. Yet Christ multiplies that small gift until everyone is satisfied, with twelve baskets left over.“Many of us feel like that boy,” Art said. “We look at our meager resources and wonder, What difference can this make? But God is a God of multiplication. He can take whatever you give and expand it to accomplish His purposes. That's His promise—but it requires trust.”3. God Promises to EnrichWho doesn't love a good return on investment—or ROI? “God does too,” Art said.In 2 Corinthians 9:11, Paul writes, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.”“God gives so that we can give,” Art continued. “He blesses so that we can bless others. He's looking for conduits of generosity—people through whom His blessings can flow. When we live that way, generosity becomes not just a habit, but a way of life.”Trusting God With Your MoneyAs Dr. Rainer summed it up:“Generosity is an act of trust. It shifts our hearts from reliance on ourselves and money to reliance on God. If you're a Christian, you've already trusted Him with your soul. It's time to trust Him with your money.”When we give generously, we're not losing—we're investing in eternity. We're saying, “Lord, I believe You are my provider.” And that's one of the clearest ways to live out genuine faith.Learn more about Dr. Art Rainer's work at ChristianMoneySolutions.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 69 with no debt and considering a whole life insurance policy—$100,000 with premiums for 10 years—to leave tax-free money to my children.

This week we finally crest the peak of our reading of Spurgeon's sermons, crossing the halfway line in our reading through the Passmore & Alabaster collection of his preaching. This address, on love as the first fruit of the Spirit, is a fitting marker for the occasion. The sermon bears many of Spurgeon's hallmarks: richly doctrinal and practical and experimental; full of a lively sense of the Holy Spirit; rising to a Christ-centred crescendo; pleading for the holiness of God's people and the salvation of the lost; a thorough sense of the text in its context; an inventive and engaging outline; a delight in the grace of our heavenly Father; a lively hope of heaven; a plain call to penetrating self-examination. In one sense there is nothing remarkable about the sermon. In another sense, the fact that this is a further sermon showing a consistent richness of substance and a sustained intensity of spirituality makes it notable not because it stands out but because it is more of the same, and it warms our hearts.

This week on The Heart of Innovation, we bring you a true story of grit, muscle, and unwavering determination. Meet Deputy John Dent—20 years on the road in West Virginia law enforcement, a body built for durability, and a diagnosis that threatened it all: peripheral artery disease (PAD). He was the guy who'd outrun everyone in the academy at 275 lbs. He was the guy strides ahead of his peers. Then one day his leg seized up in the cruiser. What seemed like a cramp became a blood-clot. A fasciotomy followed. Then the vascular surgeon told him they might have to amputate. "I said, my leg don't need to be cut off," John says. Instead, he dug in. He changed his life. He stayed active. For over a decade, no further surgery. Just gym work, collateral circulation, and refusal to back down. And here's a twist you'll love: during our conversation, John mentions his work intersecting with a West Virginia documentary spotlighting Appalachian realities. (Think Netflix-style rural exposure.) It's a moment where his law-enforcement role met a culture-industry moment—and you'll hear how he processed it. Host Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips walk John through his story—how PAD could've ended his career, his identity, his leg. Instead, it became a mission. Tune in. It's not just a "Save My Piggies" special—it's a "Save My Career, Save My Life" special.

My guest today is once again Stephen Jenkinson, a culture activist, teacher and author, and principal instructor of The Orphan Wisdom School, co-founded with his wife Nathalie Roy. He has Master's degrees from Harvard University (Theology) and the University of Toronto (Social Work).The School, though now formally closed, has made an incredibly significant mark on my life and Stephen continues to tour and teach all over the world. I've had the wild good fortune to have collaborated with Stephen in numerous ways, including producing the short film Lost Nation Road, as well as being part of the team architecting The Scriptorium - an Orphan Wisdom online archive.His most recent book Matrimony: Ritual, Culture and the Heart's Work, is the subject of our conversation today.In a time when many couples are opting out of marriage altogether, sensing that the modern wedding has often become a hollow performance, Stephen offers a different perspective. He suggests that “wedding” and “matrimony” are not interchangeable at all. One is largely engineered so that nothing really happens; the other, when approached as a deity, can be an alchemical ritual, where vows are enactments and blessings might bind all who attend with real consequence.Through personal stories from the trenches, Stephen reminds us that matrimony, at its core, is a radical act of citizenship: a cultural undertaking where love is asked to nourish more than the couple themselves, and where village emerges from the willingness to place life at the center.LINKS* Stephen Jenkinson Official Website* The Scriptorium* Matrimony - Ritual, Culture and the Heart's WorkSHOW NOTES* 00:01 — Ian introduces Stephen Jenkinson and frames the conversation around his new book Matrimony: Ritual, Culture, and the Heart's Work.* 00:02 — Stephen names the modern wedding as a hollow performance engineered so that “nothing really happens.”* 00:03 — Ian describes matrimony as a radical act of citizenship where love is asked to serve culture, not just the couple.* 00:05 — Stephen recounts learning to understand death as a deity, a presence requiring etiquette and literacy.* 00:06 — He draws the parallel: matrimony, too, is a neglected deity — an ancestral presence asking something of us.* 00:07 — Ian speaks about how witnessing Stephen's ceremonies reshaped his understanding of what a wedding can be.* 00:08 — Discussion of village-making: thresholds like death and matrimony as visitations where culture has a chance to appear.* 00:15 — Stephen distinguishes ritual from celebration and explains why most weddings are not rituals at all.* 00:16 — He clarifies the differences between weddings, marriage, and matrimony — three undertakings often collapsed into one.* 00:17 — Exploration of the etymology: matrimony rooted in mother — the repertoire of mothering culture.* 00:18 — Matrimony as a repertoire of culture-mothering, not dependent on having biological children.* 00:41 — Stephen describes “the sacraments of trade” and how ancestral presence is elevated in a true matrimonial exchange.* 00:42 — Ian reflects on death and matrimony as moments when life, not the individual, is placed at the center.* 00:51 — Ian describes how village-mindedness appears through threshold events: birth, death, love, and the guidance of community.* 01:04 — Stephen shares what it meant to be a “spirit lawyer” for matrimony, serving the deity rather than the couple.ADDITIONAL EPISODES This is a public episode.

Houston trial lawyer R. James Amaro joins host Mirena Umizaj Dumas to discuss what it takes to grow and sustain a high-performing personal injury practice. From the BP litigation and its financial fallout to tripling his firm during COVID, James shares the lessons learned from rebuilding under pressure while keeping client advocacy at the center. They explore: • Thriving through COVID by doubling down • Growing to nearly 100 team members and a headquarters bearing his name • The risks of mass torts and "mass tort PTSD" • Private equity, AI, and what's ahead for law firm owners • Building a family through IVF while running a fast-paced firm • Staying grounded in faith, service, and fiercely protecting clients A candid conversation about resilience, leadership, and the future of trial work. About Our Guest: R. James Amaro is a nationally recognized Houston trial lawyer and the founder of the Amaro Law Firm, which he established in 2005 after beginning his career in insurance defense. Representing victims of the BP refinery explosion in Texas City was an early turning point that set the course for his work. Since then, he has represented thousands of individuals and businesses in personal injury, commercial litigation, and insurance disputes, including major cases following Hurricane Ike and the BP Deepwater Horizon Spill. James brings experience shaped by engineering and entrepreneurship, along with federal judicial writing during law school. This background helped him build a firm focused on tenacity, efficiency, and client loyalty in the pursuit of just compensation. Service and community remain central in his life. James and his wife, Angelica, founded the nonprofit Baseball for Babies, which supports initiatives that help families and children. When he's not working for his clients, he is focused on family, faith, and giving back.

They emphasize the need for truth and research in understanding societal narratives, the significance of patriotism, and the heart posture behind our actions. The conversation encourages listeners to express gratitude for veterans beyond just Veterans Day, highlighting the sacrifices made for freedom.Takeaways• Being a Marine has influenced my Christian faith.• Marines embody characteristics that Christians should adopt.• Society has embraced lawlessness, affecting views on authority.• Media plays a significant role in shaping perceptions of the military.• Research is essential to understand the truth behind statistics.• Veterans deserve honor, but accountability is also necessary.• A simple thank you can mean a lot to veterans.Patriotism should be expressed with healthy pride.• Heart posture determines our actions and priorities.• Symbols like the flag and Bible should be respected, but not idolized.Give Now: www.christalonenetwork.com/giveFeatured Ad: www.renewedmindsets.comQuestions/Suggestions: www.christalonenetwork.com/contactPrayer Request: www.christalonenetwork.com/prayerImmediate Contact: call/text 407-796-2881

Elisa Morgan knows what it's like to mother through every season—from raising young kids to walking alongside adult children through different challenges. She spent years investing in mothers as the first president of MOPS International (now MomCo), but in this season of life she's discovering something sacred about aging: The purpose isn't to do more—it's to grow more like Christ. We talk about leaning into our limitations, praying for our kids, and asking what God is calling us to give birth to in each new season.   Elisa's Podcast, God Hears Her  The MomCo   Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation by Latasha Morrison  Jobs to be Done: Theory to Practice by Anthony W.
