In this episode, I had a great conversation with Sam May, a seasoned Loan Officer from All Western Mortgage. Sam and I talk about something that doesn't always get enough attention in our industry—vulnerability—and how being real and open can actually strengthen business relationships and team culture. He shares his journey through the ups and downs of the mortgage world and the lessons he's learned along the way, especially when it comes to hiring the right people and creating a strong, supportive team.We also dive into how important it is to truly understand your clients and create an experience that makes them feel seen and supported. Sam talks about the software he developed, called HOMPWR, and how it's helping to improve the mortgage process in a really smart and innovative way. We touch on the role AI could play in the future of the industry, the struggle so many of us face with perfectionism, and why community and collaboration matter more than ever. It's a conversation full of insight and heart—I think you're really going to enjoy it!Episode Resources:Connect with Sam: https://www.instagram.com/loanguysd/Learn More about HOMPWR: https://www.hompwr.comGet Loan Team Training for YOUR Team: loanteamtraining.comWatch my podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ha94ZZq-Sp0Follow me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/itsireneduford/)Follow me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ireneduford/)Follow us on Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/LoanTeamTraining)Email: ireneandkevin@loanteamtraining.comEpisode Highlights:00:00 Introduction and Connection02:16 Journey into the Mortgage Business03:40 Building a Strong Team Culture06:43 Hiring for Success10:25 The Importance of Tough Conversations11:48 Setting Expectations with Clients14:14 The Role of Video in Client Engagement20:07 Creating a Better Client Experience21:54 Innovating with Technology in Mortgages31:52 Embracing Video Communication34:08 The Evolution of HOMPWR36:02 AI's Role in the Mortgage Industry37:59 The Journey of Building a Course39:50 Overcoming Perfectionism42:45 The Fear of Releasing Work45:19 The Importance of Team Dynamics48:19 Relationship vs. Transactional Business51:19 The Power of Community and Collaboration54:24 Work Ethic and Helping Others

Do you ever struggle with your self-worth? What helps you get through your darkest days? Today, in the first-ever live episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty— not in a studio, but live on stage in front of thousands. To kick things off, Jay sits down with actress, author, and cultural disruptor Julia Fox for a raw, unfiltered conversation about pain, transformation, and purpose. What begins as an unlikely pairing unfolds into something profoundly human. Julia takes us deep into her story, one marked by emotional neglect, addiction, survival, and self-erasure, but with that also comes incredible grit, self-awareness, and resilience. Julia speaks about living with the trauma of not feeling worthy, and the long, complex journey of unlearning that narrative. Together, they explore what it means to numb emotions through substance or toxic relationships, the role of compartmentalization as a survival mechanism, and the beauty of reclaiming identity through motherhood, celibacy, and sobriety. Julia shares how prayer, manifestation, and divine timing helped shift her path and how writing her memoir became the therapy she needed. Through tears, laughter, and confessions, this episode reminds us that healing doesn’t always look linear. Sometimes it looks like chaos, courage, and the difficult choice to keep going. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Break the Cycle of Feeling Unworthy How to Set Boundaries That Protect Your Peace How to Reclaim Control After Addiction How to Be Okay With Being Seen How to Heal Without Needing Closure How to Build a Life Without Numbing Yourself How to Accept What You Can’t Change Your truth is not too much. Your past does not define your future. And you are worthy, always.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants to share their journey with others. Today's former participant is Ryan McGinty. Ryan holds a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling and has a successful career as a leader in the therapeutic treatment field. He's most proud of the life he has built in Sedona, Arizona with his wife and two children. While in many senses, Ryan has “arrived” and found his path in career, family and internal peace, it took him many years to get to where he is today. He explains to listeners the beauty of growing up with parents who instilled in their children the significance of choosing sobriety after they both recovered from substance use, and with one of his parents being a counselor and the profound lessons he was privileged to earn at a young age. He also shares the irony of how, after all his parents instilled in him, he still ended up abusing substances. What started off as just trying marijuana once, ended up spiraling him into many years of addiction with more intense substances. While it took Ryan a continual commitment to recovery, a decade of college and multiple career changes, Ryan eventually realized his purpose and passion and now helps others who struggle in similar ways as he once did. NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.**Listener discretion is advised**Ryan's Resources:Red Mountain Sedona Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #YoungAdults #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #SelfEsteem #ParentingAdvice #ParentingTeens #SubstanceUseRecovery #SubstanceUsePrevention #Sobriety #SobrietyJourney

The Essence of Team Spirit: Why Helping Others in a Group Can Be More Motivating Than Helping Yourself

Are we primarily motivated by self-interest, or can activities that advance the progress of others provide similar or even greater levels of motivation? Logically, it would seem that people are most motivated to achieve specific goals when they are doing things that benefit themselves. Examples include studying for an exam, doing regular physical exercise, or working toward a career milestone; all activities that have tangible and readily apparent benefits for the individual pursuing them. Consequently, many of us would tend to believe that personal progress is our biggest driver. However, a recent study by Prof. Olya Bryksina from the University of Winnipeg reveals a surprising twist in how motivation works, especially when we're part of a group. In her innovative research, published in Motivation Science in 2025, Professor Bryksina explores a question many of us encounter daily but rarely think deeply about: What makes people put in effort when working toward a shared goal as part of a group? Her findings suggest something profound, that helping others in a group can be more motivating than helping ourselves.

My guest this week is Suraj Vyas, an attorney specializing in patent law with a focus on construction and contracts. Having spent the past 6 years on the Super Lawyer's Rising Star list, Suraj began his legal career as in-house counsel for Rising Sun Engineering before founding his own firm in 2018. Suraj developed an interest in construction work at a young age, pursuing an undergraduate degree in Water Resources Management & Policy, but his interdisciplinary interests would lead him to follow in his grandfather's footsteps, combining a love of engineering with the law. Now with nearly a decade of practice beneath his belt, Suraj is as committed to helping his communities as he is his clients. We sit down to discuss how curiosity is the catalyst behind everything he does, the people that shaped his journey, and why engineers and lawyers are more alike than you may think. Enjoy the show!

Sermons from LifeJourney Church

Last week we began a new sermon series called "Women Who Shaped Our Faith -- Six Powerful Gospel Stories." This week we'll study a Gospel story that you've probably heard many times before, but have never realized the full implications of. Guided by the writings of theologian Helen Bruch Pearson, we're going to learn something new and powerful from Luke 13:10-17. Let's just say, if you didn't think Jesus came to change things, you might want to think again. This Sunday, let's get to know Jesus better!

NextOp recruits, develops, and places military members and veterans into industry careers. The organization works one-on-one with enlisted service members and veterans to help translate military training and experiences into valued qualifications in the business community, and the organization works with and supports companies to develop and execute their veteran hiring and retention strategies.During the interview, Shelby talks about growing up in a US Navy household and how stories of service inspired him in childhood.

He then talks about the important work that NextOp Veterans is doing to help military members and veterans, like himself, with that same transition into industry careers and opportunities. He shares some of this history and growth for the nonprofit organization, talks about some of their key strategies and recent successes, and how they are partnering with other organizations to create a system that benefits the veterans and military members, education institutions and training programs, companies, and our communities.

His internship at the University of Minnesota was a transformative experience. He faced multiple injuries that complicated his recovery process. Zach developed a personalized jumper's knee protocol based on research and self-education. Communication with coaches was crucial for managing his injury and training. He critiqued traditional physical therapy methods for being too standardized and ineffective. Zach found success in using specific exercises that targeted his knee pain. He emphasized the psychological impact of dealing with chronic pain and injury. Zach's experience led him to help others with similar injuries through education and support. He believes in the importance of critical thinking in rehabilitation and recovery.  Zach had to gauge his pain threshold during activities. Initial sharp pain in the knee indicated a possible partial tear. Tendinopathy symptoms developed over time with different sensations. Isometrics provided pain relief for Zach for several months. Athletes often face resistance from trainers when seeking alternative rehab methods. Zach's recent knee injury was a result of heavy eccentric loading. Effective rehab requires finding the highest possible entry point. Rehabilitation should focus on loading the muscle, not just the joint. Zach's approach includes using RPR and square one techniques. Rehab is about applying proven methods to individual cases. Ground substance in tendons consists of proteoglycans and water. Aging leads to a loss of spring-like properties in tendons. Pathology in tendons can develop long before pain is felt. General health significantly impacts tendon health. Weight gain adds extra load on tendons, increasing injury risk. High blood sugar can stiffen tendons due to sugar cross-links. Dietary choices can influence tendon health and recovery. Collagen supplementation may benefit tendon health, especially if deficient in nutrients. Environmental factors like circadian rhythms can affect tendon recovery. A holistic approach is essential for optimal tendon health.
