We're finally caught up on Hallmark Christmas movies, so it's time to head back to UPtv with Ryan. Today, we're reviewing Christmas in Amish Country.ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRYA faltering chef returns to her Amish roots in Pennsylvania, finds solace in slow-cooking, and rekindles a friendship with a sweet farmer from her past.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRYNovember 30 2025 | UPtvCAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRYElla Cannon as ClaireJason Tobias as JackBRAN'S CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY SYNOPSISIt's December 20th and we're at a fancy new restaurant. Chef Claire is making very fancy food — we're talking liquid nitrogen levels of fancy. But it's too fancy. The reviews are awful, and her manager encourages her to sell ASAP. There's no saving this sucker. Reporters love a downfall story, so they're outside her apartment. She mistakes one of the reporters for her rideshare driver.With her flight canceled, she asks him to drive her to Missouri — a 7-hour trip. Looking for the scoop, he says yes and doesn't tell her who he really is. His name is Jack, and they actually kind of hit it off. She even moves to the passenger seat.They arrive in Versailles, Missouri. Jack is stunned to find out it's an Amish town! Her mom? Amish. Her sister-in-law? Amish. The queen of modern molecular gastronomy… is Amish!Jack even saves her mom from an oncoming truck. Hero moment unlocked.This whole time, she thought his name was Chad — her “driver.” He corrects her: he's Jack, and he finally comes clean. Claire is not thrilled, but since he saved her mom's life, he gets to stay with the family.Her family doesn't know what kind of food she really cooks… or about the bad reviews. Jack agrees to keep that quiet.Since he didn't plan on this trip, he has no spare clothes. So naturally, he ends up rocking Amish garb.Jack volunteers to help a guy named Eli, who absolutely hates him. Who does Eli not hate? Claire. He's very into her.When Jack tastes her family's apple butter and pie crust, he's like, “Why aren't you serving this?!” She insists the outside world doesn't want this kind of food.She opens up about her journey, and Jack seems genuinely interested — though that might just be because he's churning butter and can't escape. His back starts hurting, so she gives him an old Amish back rub, and the sparks definitely fly.Jack keeps helping around the farm and loving all the food. He tells her that incorporating her family's cooking could really bring her restaurant to life. Sparks continue… until she finds his initial story draft, which basically calls her a fraud. The family tells him to get lost first thing in the morning.Here's something important about Claire: she's terrified of riding in a horse and buggy because of a past accident. So she's walking to Christmas dinner when she finds her pregnant friend on the path — her water has broken. Claire has to conquer her fear, take the buggy, and get her to the hospital.On Jack's way out of town, he sees Claire walking into the hospital. He offers to help, and she tells him to go pick up the woman's husband — which he does. When he gets back, he tells her he was never going to turn in that hurtful article. He has a new story ready and wants her to read it before he submits it.He brings her back to the farm and gives the whole family a copy of the new article. They all forgive him, and he and Claire kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Motivational Speaker and Bestselling Author Kevin Brown is the creator of The Hero Effect, a simple philosophy that separates world-class organizations and high-performance people from everybody else. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Most of us are unwilling to call ourselves heroes because of humility. The truth is, being a hero doesn't involve doing big things. It's about doing everything you do in a way that serves other people - and to take the storyline and stop accepting what the world is trying to give you. 2. Don't play victim. Don't live in the past. Don't setup camp on where you've been. Focus on where you're going. That's when you can release your gifts to the world. 3. Nobody on this planet was put here to be ordinary. We are created with talents and abilities as unique as our fingerprints. We were put here to use those gifts in service of others.

Major Lewis Redmond's story sounds like it comes from a 19th century dime novel.  He was a Carolina moonshiner, an outlaw and, thanks to actually being in some of those dime novels after the Civil War, a folk hero. His killing of a U. S. Marshal led to a life on the run across North and South Carolina, making Redmond a legend.  Today we tell his story. Be sure to follow the Stories of Appalachia podcast on your favorite podcast app so you never miss a tale from the mountains.

OUR AWESOME GUEST This WEEK: Paul Cuneo Change doesn't start with a neat plan. It starts with the knowing that your current path no longer fits, and the quiet nudge that something braver is calling. We sit down with Paul Cuneo, creator of the Hero's Journey Odyssey Experience, to explore how ancient story patterns and Jungian psychology can turn that restlessness into a reliable map for reinvention. From the call to adventure to the ordeal and the return, Paul shows how each stage reflects an inner identity shift—and how recognizing where you are can reduce fear, clarify next steps, and restore momentum.Paul's unconventional path from music and movement to acting and identity work reveals a key insight: the world doesn't need a perfect performance, it needs your singular presence. That principle anchors his client work. When the ego gets loud—demanding certainty and control—intuition speaks in whispers that are easy to miss. Paul offers practical ways to hear those signals, “follow the firefly,” and clear the hidden blockages (guilt, old stories, outdated defenses) that keep solutions out of reach. One powerful reframe: you don't have to give up who you are; you only have to release the belief that you need certain traits to be safe. Set the sword down so both hands can be in the work, and pick it up again only when it's truly needed.We also unpack a liberating lens on agency: reality versus agreement. Buildings are real; businesses are agreements. Labels are agreements. When you see how much of your life you've consented to, renegotiating becomes possible. If you agreed, you can change the terms. By mapping your journey, honoring the old identity with gratitude, and stepping toward the new one without clinging, hard stops feeling like failure and starts feeling like progress. If you're navigating a career pivot, a relationship shift, or a deep reinvention, this conversation offers structure, language, and tools to move forward with courage. If it resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—we'd love to hear which stage of the journey you're in now."One of the MOST profound, think outside the box episodes I've experienced while hosting the show" - Brad WeismanHi This is Brad Weisman - Click Here to Send Me a Text Message ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman!

Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Revelation 14:1 from the King James Version.Episode 243: After the vision of the glorious throne room, John was given another vision. This time the vision was about the history and future of the earth. John saw a Dragon who battled with the armies of God and tried desperately to consume the child of Israel who was destined to rule the nations. But God rescued the woman and her child and the armies of heaven cast out the dragon banishing him to the earth. Even here the Dragon continued to pursue the woman and make trouble for the children of God. Other beasts were called up as well to deceive the people into following them. But Just as things looked their worst, salvation from God came as Jesus descended from the skies on a white horse.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

City Council moved forward with a proposal aimed at fixing the city’s deteriorating infrastructure. Temperatures are expected to warm up. In Van Nuys, officers shot a man after he allegedly killed his father. A memorial was held for Burbank Police K9 Officer Spike, who was tragically killed in the line of duty.

Every great movie has that moment — the hero face-down in the dirt, bleeding, doubting, wondering if they've got anything left. That's not the end of the story. That's the middle. So if you're there right now — business messy, life loud, wondering if you've blown it — you're not failing. You're in your Hero's Journey. In this powerful episode of PivotMe, April unpacks The Hero's Journey — that timeless storytelling arc that shows up in every great movie, book, and… your own life. From Luke Skywalker to Moana to Rocky, this universal path of struggle, transformation, and triumph is the same journey entrepreneurs and leaders walk every day. April walks through the 12 stages of the Hero's Journey and shows you how to identify where you are in your own story — so you can stop fighting the plot and start directing the outcome. This episode reminds every business owner and high performer that the mess isn't the end — it's the middle. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Every leader is on their own Hero's Journey. Your business, your challenges, your growth — they all follow a story arc. 2️⃣ The 12 Stages of the Hero's Journey (and how they apply to real life): Ordinary World: The comfort zone that starts to feel too small. Call to Adventure: The whisper that says "There's more." Refusal of the Call: The fear that talks you out of it. Meeting the Mentor: The guide who shows you what's possible. Crossing the Threshold: The moment you commit — no turning back. Tests, Allies, and Enemies: The messy middle — growth under fire. Approach to the Inmost Cave: Preparation before your biggest challenge. The Ordeal: The breaking point that becomes your turning point. The Reward: The transformation — confidence, courage, clarity. The Road Back: Integration of lessons into real life. The Resurrection: Final test — choosing differently this time. Return with the Elixir: Sharing your wisdom, leading from strength. 3️⃣ The Hard Middle Is Not Failure. It's transformation in progress. 4️⃣ Knowing Your Stage Brings Clarity. When you can name where you are in the journey, you can stop reacting and start leading yourself through it. Quotes "Struggle isn't a detour. It's the way forward." "Mentors don't give you permission — they give you perspective." "The Ordeal isn't where the hero dies. It's where the old version of them dies." "When you understand your story, you stop fighting the plot and start directing the outcome." Challenge for Pivoters Ask yourself:

It's time to put the Year in Review on pause for a loaded week of golf in December. Andy and Brendan are relieved to be talking about current events and the content gods have delivered, providing nuggets spanning from Bethpage to the Bahamas. They begin with the Hero World Challenge and its host "Doctor" Munjal. Brendan calls for an early Thirstbucket of the Week following his yearly media availability in Albany and questions what he's a doctor of after all. PJ chimes in with some quick research finding that his doctorates may or may not be honorary, leading Andy to refer to him as "Mr. Munjal" for the rest of the show. Tiger Woods also spoke on Tuesday about his playing future and the future of the PGA Tour. He stayed in line with reports about Brian Rolapp's 20-event schedule coming as soon as 2027 and confirmed that he'll be OUT for Jup Links in the first half of the TGL season. Brian Rolapp found himself in front of a microphone last week and made sure to mention that the "middle class matters," which is sure to put the minds of mules at ease. In more from the Ryder Cup that will never end, Justin Thomas appeared on the No Laying Up podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the American loss at Bethpage. Within the interview, JT took exception to the green speeds at The People's Country Club and said that they were not what Keegan Bradley asked for. He stated that "they" argued with the Americans about the speed, which was aggregated to no end on social media. On the very (too?) busy Schedule for the Week, the Hero has brought in outside help for its Pro-Am, Rory is teeing it up at Royal Melbourne with Dr. Chipinski, and Will Zalatoris makes his return at the Nedbank in South Africa. With almost all of the world's top players in action this week, Andy and Brendan wonder if there are some scheduling issues that lead to three tournaments spreading out the top-end talent as opposed to getting them all in one place to compete against each other. Lastly, the Skechers World Champions Cup will somehow air on ESPN and ABC this weekend, so PJ has a full primer ready to go for those tuning in for their first Champs Tour action of the year. Friday's episode will contain a full, detailed discussion about TGL's Gil Hanse intro video that set Golf Twitter ablaze on Tuesday afternoon.

Most entrepreneurs think storytelling is about simply entertaining. But the stories that move markets, build movements, and create generational brands all follow a deeper pattern that is wired into every human across every culture in history.  In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show we talk about the Hero's Journey! I open up Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces and show you why this framework has shaped your favorite movies, your personal development, your beliefs, and even the way ClickFunnels grew to a billion dollars in sales. If you want your message to resonate at a primal level and persuade people without feeling pushy, this is the story structure your business has been missing. Key Highlights: ◼️How Joseph Campbell discovered that every enduring story across time and culture follows the same pattern. ◼️Why George Lucas built the first Star Wars movie using this exact framework and how thousands of Hollywood films now follow it. ◼️The core steps of the Hero's Journey and why audiences subconsciously connect to it in movies, books, and real life. ◼️How applying this structure transformed my webinars, funnels, events, and ultimately the growth of the ClickFunnels movement. ◼️The three versions of the Hero's Journey you can study and use: Campbell's original, Christopher Vogler's Hollywood version, and my Expert Secrets version. The Hero's Journey isn't just some ‘fun' thing to talk about... It is the blueprint behind every story that has ever moved a crowd, converted an audience, or transformed a customer. Once you understand it, you start seeing it everywhere and you will know exactly how to weave it into your own marketing, sales presentations, and content. If you want my notes with all three frameworks side by side, you can find them here: ◼️⁠⁠https://russellbrunson.com/notes⁠⁠ ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

In this next episode of The Beau Story Series, we open up about the fear, worry, and anxiety that filled so many moments during Beau's first 38 days in the hospital. There was so much to be afraid of...so many unknowns, questions, and moments that felt overwhelming. But instead of letting anxiety take over, we learned to lean hard into the truth of God's Word, cling to His promises, and let worship steady our hearts when nothing else could.We share honestly about the battles we faced in our minds and the ways God met us in the fear. From middle-of-the-night prayers to the Scriptures we held onto when we couldn't hold ourselves up, this episode is a reminder that even in the darkest places, God gives peace that doesn't make sense and strength we don't have on our own.If you're walking through your own season of fear or uncertainty, our hope is that this conversation points you back to the One who never leaves, never changes, and is always near.Song: Lofi Chill Hip Hop Beat - SpringVibes (youngfrenchy808)We would like to pray for you.

We often expect transformation to come from big breakthroughs, but as Hero and Psychotherapist Jen Baumgold explains, lasting change usually begins with the smallest shifts in day-to-day living. In this episode, Jen and Chandler talk through the daily work of integration by paying attention to the body, pausing before reacting, experimenting with new behaviors, and gently challenging long-held patterns. Jen shares accessible tools for regulating the nervous system, practicing boundaries, and rebuilding trust with yourself one decision at a time. What You Will Learn[00:07:31] Why awareness alone rarely creates change, and what gets in the way of turning insight into action[00:09:16] How letting go of a long-held belief (like stepping off the scale) can reconnect you to bodily knowing[00:14:48] The power of permission and small steps — why tiny experiments are often more sustainable than big overhauls[00:17:30] How to spot a pattern's triggers and locate the sensation in your body so you can begin to work with it[00:21:13] Practical micro-habits for interrupting automatic reactions, like pausing before answering or waiting on emails[00:29:39] How EMDR supports integration by allowing you to access and reprocess material from a calmer, safer state[00:34:43] A simple nervous-system tool: using saliva or a small oral action to cue parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) activation[00:36:51] Why rebuilding self-trust — through boundaries, small decisions, and consistent practice — is core to lasting changeLet's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Cait DeMelloWebsite | Instagram | LinkedInChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.

In the first of our latest Battleground history series Patrick Bishop and Roger Morehouse tackle Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Nazi Germany commander revered by enemies for his "war without hate". Together they peel back the decades of mythology, challenging the image of Rommel as the "good German". How much did Rommel, who served as Hitler's personal security commander , know about the regime's atrocities? Was the positive postwar Western image of Rommel merely a convenient tool for rehabilitating Germany during the Cold War? Whilst Patrick and Roger deliver their verdict on Rommel's legacy. What do you think? Is he a hero or a villain? Cast Your Vote!

Richard McGirr shares why facts alone don't move investors and how a well-crafted personal story can radically improve your marketing and capital raising. He walks through Russell Brunson's Epiphany Bridge script, showing how it builds on the classic Hero's Journey to turn your backstory, “wall,” and breakthrough into a compelling narrative that breaks your audience's false beliefs. Using his own journey—from a collapsed software company and wiped-out income to discovering real estate and reworking a failed Property Llama webinar into a six-figure sales engine—Richard illustrates how story-based presentations can dramatically increase conversions. He closes by challenging listeners to define their own “why,” clarify the moment they realized their old plan wouldn't work, and use that narrative framework in every investor conversation, not just on webinars.

How do you see yourself? Do you ever feel like a villain, like everything is your fault? Do you ever feel like a victim, overwhelmed and powerless to change your life? Do you ever feel like a hero, as if you have to succeed because the whole world is depending on you? Today, we're talking about how to see yourself accurately and understand yourself better through three lenses: your villain story, your victim story, and your hero story. These categories are inspired by “The Karpman Drama Triangle” by Dr. Stephen B. Karpman. The original drama triangle describes common patterns in dysfunctional relationships.

Selling the transformation, not the transaction, is what separates amateur storytelling from sales stories that convert. In this final part of our Stories That Sell framework, you'll learn how to help customers envision who they become after working with you - not just what they get. Most entrepreneurs default to listing features and benefits: "You'll get 6 modules! It includes templates!" But transformation-based selling focuses on the shift, the change, the new version of your customer. When you master selling transformation through stories, closing sales becomes effortless. In this episode we cover: - How to sell transformation instead of features and benefits - Why customers buy identity shifts, not products or services - Tapping into feelings instead of features when selling - Real-life examples of transformation-based sales storytelling - The complete story-selling formula in action - How to help customers visualize their future selves This is Part 4 of our 4-part "Stories That Sell" framework: Part 1 (Episode 194): The 3 Core Elements Part 2 (Episode 195): Make Your Customer the Hero Part 3 (Episode 196): Become the Trusted Guide Originally released in 2022, this story-selling framework has helped thousands of entrepreneurs learn how to sell with stories that actually convert.
