Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode, we're bringing you a truly one-of-a-kind conversation with NASCAR star and proud watermelon farmer, Ross Chastain. Sawyer and Tork sit down with Ross to dig into everything—from his eighth-generation family farm roots in south Florida to his meteoric rise in the racing world.You'll hear Ross share stories of growing up surrounded by watermelon fields, learning the grit and grind of farm life, and how that translated into his “just do it” mentality behind the wheel. We get a behind-the-scenes look at how his family moved from packing watermelons in the old-school way to becoming leaders in the specialty crop market, plus the ups and downs that come from farming land that moves every 10 years and the constant battle with disease, weather, and regulation.But don't think it's all about ag! Ross takes us on a ride through his NASCAR journey—how he hustled his way in, paid his dues, and made a name by staying true to his roots (plus the infamous “wall ride” at Martinsville and the birth of his watermelon-smashing victory celebration). The guys talk about the business side of racing, the pressure, the handshakes (and haymakers), and the crossover between competing in sports and in agriculture.And if that isn't enough, Ross opens up about his mission to shine a spotlight on American farming through his “Ag to Asphalt” project, why he believes every farmer has a story worth telling, and how keeping it real has become his brand—on and off the track.So grab your favorite drink (maybe even a watermelon, if you're inspired), and settle in for a fresh, fast-paced, and downright fun episode with the Melon Man himself.

Join me as I unpack whether veterinary care is truly overpriced...or simply underappreciated.

After the miraculous victory at Jericho, Israel's joy is quickly shattered by unexpected defeat at Ai. The reason? Hidden sin in the camp. In Joshua 7, we are reminded that sin is never small, never private, and never without consequence. What Achan tried to bury beneath his tent was ultimately exposed by God—and it brought trouble on the entire nation. In this message, we'll see the seriousness of sin, the danger of concealing it, and the hope we find when we confess and trust the God who is enough.

In the final episode of our 6 Part Series, "Communication Lies Leaders Believe", Tammy delivers a hard truth: some of the support you're giving your team isn't helping—it's enabling. This episode busts the myth that constantly helping will lead to growth and exposes the codependent patterns that can quietly destroy a team's culture. Tammy reveals how over-functioning for your people can lead to burnout among your top talent and a cycle of learned helplessness in your low performers. She provides a reset with 3 clear steps to stop rescuing and start truly empowering your team. Your job is to coach, not to coddle. Key Takeaways for Leaders Helping Can Be Hurtful: "Support becomes enablement when you take the responsibility for someone else's growth." The Codependent Cycle: You rely on your team to make you feel needed, and they rely on you to fix their problems. The High Cost of Coddling: Over-functioning for a low performer can cause your top talent to feel undervalued and lead to a 20% increase in overall turnover. Recognize the Signs: You're rescuing instead of leading if you're more invested in solving their problems than they are, or if you feel guilty when they fail. Break the Cycle: Coach people forward, not where they're at. The Three Steps to Truly Support Growth Name It and Claim It: Step in and address the pattern directly. Acknowledge that you've been solving their issues and state that it's not sustainable. Give Responsibility Back: Map out what success looks like and make it clear that your role is a resource, not a rescuer. Hold the Line: Set clear boundaries and expectations. If they don't act, don't step in. Let the natural consequences of their inaction play out. If this episode hit home, it's time to break a pattern. Go to theleadershipsandbox.com/groups to join the waitlist for our upcoming mastermind groups, where you can tackle these hard truths in a safe place.

Terry Haayema: The High Cost of Unsafe Agile Retrospectives Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "She was kind of like the mum for the team... she was actually the glue that held the team together." Terry tells the story of a team that was functioning like a feature factory until a business analyst became their champion and "team mom." This BA supported everyone through agile transformation and helped build trust and healthy conflict. However, when she mentioned something in a retrospective that led to her being put on performance management and eventually leaving, the team rapidly self-destructed. They lost their sense of belonging and teamness, retreating back to working as independent professionals rather than collaborating. The story illustrates how leadership actions can instantly destroy weeks or months of trust-building work, and how critical psychological safety is for sustainable team performance. For more critical points on how to be a great leader, check this episode with Captain David Marquet, a thought leader in the leadership space who wrote Turn the Ship Around!  Featured Book of the Week: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni Terry credits The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni as massively influential in his career, particularly praising how Lencioni demonstrates that without trust as a foundation, teams cannot achieve anything else. The book's framework shows how lack of trust prevents healthy conflict, which prevents commitment, which prevents accountability, which prevents results. Terry found the way Lencioni illustrates these dysfunctions and their cascading effects to be incredibly valuable for understanding team dynamics and what's needed to build high-performing teams. In this segment, we also refer to Agile Software Development with Scrum, by Schwaber and Beedle. Self-reflection Question: What would happen to your team's dynamics if your most supportive, trust-building team member suddenly left tomorrow? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jason Ritchie from Pearland, TX. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 5:6–8. “In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and travelers kept to the byways. The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel. When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?”— Judges 5:6-8 Deborah paints a grim “before” picture of Israel. The roads were unsafe. Villages were abandoned. Ordinary life was in hiding. And why? Because “new gods were chosen.” They forgot God's resume and hired other “saviors.” These idols couldn't protect them — in fact, they opened the gates for war. Even worse, there wasn't a shield or spear among forty thousand in Israel. Disarmed. Vulnerable. Exposed. When God's people stop remembering His past faithfulness, they stop trusting His present protection. The result? Fear replaces courage, culture decays, and the enemy moves in. Spiritual drift never starts loud. It begins with a quiet forgetfulness. A skipped prayer. A neglected truth. A replaced affection. Before long, God's resume is dusty and idols are on the payroll. The cost is high. We lose peace. We lose protection. We lose purpose. This is why remembering matters — because the moment we forget, we're already drifting. Leaders must recall God's resume daily, and followers must cling to it as if their lives depend on it — because they do. ASK THIS: Where have you been tempted to trust a “new god” instead of the one true God? How do you recognize the early signs of spiritual drift in your own life? What specific truths about God do you need to recall to stand firm today? Who in your life needs to be reminded of God's resume right now? DO THIS: Identify one “idol” in your life — something you've looked to for safety or satisfaction — and replace it today with an intentional act of worship toward God. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me drift. Keep Your faithfulness at the front of my mind so no false god can take Your place. Protect me from the slow fade of forgetting You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come Thou Fount (Above All Else)."

What happens when cities eliminate parking requirements? When curbside parking is priced at market rates? When parking revenue stays in the neighborhood instead of disappearing into general funds? These questions form the core of Donald Shoup's revolutionary approach to urban parking policy, explored in depth through Daniel Baldwin Hess's new book "The Shoup Doctrine."Bringing together 37 contributors across 33 chapters, this festschrift celebrates the man who transformed parking from a mundane topic into one of urban planning's most dynamic areas of reform. As Hess explains, Shoup's background as an economist led him to view every parking instance as an economic transaction with hidden costs that profoundly shape our cities.Show Notes:Further Reading: Sandrush: The Rival of the Beach in 20th Century Los Angeles by Elsa DevienneGet a copy of the book from the publisher: https://www.routledge.com/The-Shoup-Doctrine-Essays-Celebrating-Donald-Shoup-and-Parking-Reforms/Hess/p/book/9781032733920?srsltid=AfmBOor_oOVeYjVfiRDJhUR961ekHH5bzYi6Ug7GvS1gf_6n8CFpvqwE Check out our episode where we interviewed Donald Shoup on The High Cost of Free Parking back in year 1: https://www.bookedonplanning.com/podcast/episode/79419c03/the-high-cost-of-free-parking To view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/ Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

600 Garland Ave. Hot Springs, AR 71913 | gospellight.org

Frank is joined by Jamie, an Australian wrestling journalist and podcaster, to unpack Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. They break down Mickey Rourke's career-defining turn as Randy “The Ram,” why the film treats wrestling with rare respect, how indie scenes work behind the curtain, and what the movie gets right about pain, pride, and the gig life. Expect talk on blading, deathmatches, deli counters, and the bittersweet final leap. The Wrestler - CA Timestamps & Topics 00:00 Welcome and guest intro, Jamie's magazine and The Commentary Booth 01:33 Why The Wrestler, and why it treats wrestling seriously 02:21 Indie wrestling in Australia and how regional styles differ 04:27 Two-minute plot speed run for The Wrestler 06:12 Rourke's comeback, near-miss Oscar, and how his story mirrors Randy's 07:03 Aronofsky parallels with Black Swan and the “passion vs body” theme 08:46 The physical toll: pain, injuries, and why “fake” is the wrong word 10:04 Casting what-ifs and why Rourke was the right choice 11:07 Marisa Tomei's character, boundaries, and mirrored struggles 14:18 Real wrestlers on screen: Necro Butcher, Blue Meanie, R-Truth, Nigel McGuinness 15:43 Backstage authenticity: planning matches and protecting spots 16:38 Filmmaking choices: over-the-shoulder, docu feel, sound and silence 17:11 The deli counter sequence and why it hurts so much 21:16 Blading 101, when companies allow blood, and modern policies 23:05 The indie hustle: bookings, calendars, and life on the road 25:07 Health care, rehab access, and duty of care today 26:42 Drugs, CTE, and hard lessons from wrestling's past 28:46 Favorite scenes and the ambiguous ending 31:04 Locker room rituals, “match memory,” and shared shorthand 32:50 What aged well and what hits harder in the gig economy era 34:16 Deathmatch primer and recommended watch list 43:56 Awards talk, where The Wrestler ranks, and Jamie's current projects 46:04 Outro and how to send us your challenges Key Takeaways The Wrestler is a love letter to pro wrestling that treats the craft and its workers with respect. Rourke's performance lands because his real-life arc echoes Randy's fall and claw-back. The movie nails backstage realities: match planning, protecting limbs, and protecting spots. “Fake” is a myth. Stories are scripted. Physicality is very real. Aronofsky's choices — handheld camera, long silences, ring sounds — put you in Randy's head. The deli scene is a perfect “what if” path that collapses under one bad interaction. Indie wrestling is a grind: bookings, travel, day jobs, and recovery are constant tradeoffs. Modern policies are better on rehab and blood, but the culture still battles pain and risk. Memorable Quotes “It's definitely a love letter to wrestling overall.” — Jamie “The stories are fake, but the physicality is real.” — Frank “It almost feels more like a fly on the wall documentary rather than a big budget motion picture.” — Jamie “I love the ambiguity of the ending.” — Jamie “You have to survive the bad days.” — Frank Links & Resources Our site: GeekFreaksPodcast.com GeekFreaksPodcast.com is the source of all news discussed during our podcast.

In today's episode of The Virtual Couch Presents, Tony Overbay, LMFT, dives into the real difference between character (the traits others see in us) and integrity (the alignment of our actions with our deepest values).

S5:E23 College financial planning meets entrepreneurial reality. Brad Baldridge, host of Taming the High Cost of College, breaks down complex rules into simple moves any small business owner can use to lower net price and avoid bad loans.

KEY TAKEAWAYS [06:04] FAFSA rule change for businesses.Small businesses under 100 employees now must be reported as assets. Brad explains what has value (e.g., real estate) vs. low-value consultancies—and why outdated blog posts still say otherwise. Takeaway: get current, not cached, guidance.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!The first in a two-part series on a powerful leadership contrast: Aspirational Leadership vs. Fear-Driven Leadership.In this opening conversation, we're taking a deep dive into fear-driven leadership—what it looks like, how it shows up in organizations, and the impact it has on both culture and performance. Fear may create short-term compliance, but it erodes trust, stifles innovation, and leaves lasting damage to people and organizations alike.Simply put,  "Fear Rules, Vision Leads." Over the next two episodes, we'll unpack the dangers of leading through fear and contrast them with the transformative potential of aspirational leadership. By the end of this series, you'll not only recognize the difference but also walk away with insights to elevate your own leadership journey.Join Rich and Maikel as we start by shining a light on fear-driven leadership—where it begins, how it spreads, and why it ultimately falls short on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT. Leaders, Lead Well!Thank you to all of our listeners in over 100 countries and now, 1,000 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support! We truly hope that what we bring to our listeners will improve your ability as leaders.Mainline Executive Coaching ACT has been recognized by FeedSpot as one of the top Executive Coaching Podcast in the world based on thousands of podcasts on the web and ranked by traffic, social media, followers & freshness.https://blog.feedspot.com/executive_coaching_podcasts/ John Mattone Global: https://johnmattone.com/ Rich Baron:rbaron@richbaronexecutivecoaching.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-baron/https://www.richbaronexecutivecoaching.com/Maikel Bailey:mbailey@intelligentleadershipec.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/maikelbailey/https://maikelbailey.com/

 How can intelligent, educated people fervently believe demonstrable falsehoods simply because a leader—a known liar, cheat, and failed opportunist—declares them? We all recognize the type: the charismatic demagogue who sells dreams but delivers only betrayal.Common sense ceases to function when it's not applied. Yet so many suspend critical thinking to embrace blatant nonsense. Why?The Cult of the Chronic LiarBlind faith in pathological dishonesty isn't just irrational—it's tribal.People don't follow such leaders despite the lies but because of them. The lies are loyalty tests.To question the leader is to betray the tribe. This is how cults operate—whether political or religious.The High Cost of Independent ThoughtI've paid for my skepticism:Spiritual groups (like Osho's) were accused of “brainwashing,” yet they encouraged more critical thinking than mainstream society. The irony? It's the masses who are truly brainwashed.Politics everywhere is a rigged duopoly:Germany's CDU/SPD, America's Democrats/Republicans, Britain's Labour/Tories—all serve the same masters: wealth and war.Every new U.S. president starts 2 wars on average; every system funnels money upward while pretending to debate “left vs. right.”Why Don't "Smart" People See This?CowardiceMost fear isolation more than deception. It's safer to chant slogans than to stand alone.Comfort in IllusionBelieving “your side” is virtuous—despite identical outcomes—is easier than admitting the game is fixed.Manufactured DivisionThe elite want us fighting over pronouns or tax cuts while they loot the treasury.Democracy? Or Theater of Compliance?We call this system “democracy,” but it's really a rotation of masks on the same face. The majority choose their own oppressors because:Critical thinking is punished (bullying, ostracism).Conformity is rewarded (social approval, false belonging).The curse of awareness is loneliness. But the alternative—complicity in collective delusion—is far worse.My Video:  What is happening  https://youtu.be/Qv0K8gaYrGIMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/What-is-happening.mp3

Higher education is supposed to be a place where truth is pursued, and worldviews are shaped in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom and open dialogue. Unfortunately, this is not the case in our public universities. A recent study reveals a pervasive culture of self-censorship fueled by fear of social ostracism and academic penalty. The result is an ideological conformity which stifles true intellectual freedom while graduating students who have had to sell their souls for academic survival.

Erik Fox was a debut author with just 70 sales to his name. Then, one TikTok video exploded to over a million views, turning his psychological thriller Monarch into a viral bestseller overnight. But behind the "overnight success" is a raw story of a failed first project, getting sober, and developing a brutal mindset that refuses to accept excuses.In this episode, Erik Fox reveals the unfiltered truth about his journey. He shares the simple writing habit that allows him to finish books in months, not years, and breaks down the exact moment he realized his fiction had bizarrely predicted a real-life corporate scandal. This conversation is a masterclass in creativity, discipline, and the high personal cost of chasing a dream.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode dives into what the future of fund administration could look like with a tech-forward approach and the application of AI.We sat down with Juniper Square CEO and Co-Founder Alex Robinson to discuss how and why they've built a digital first fund administrator for private markets, starting with real estate and since expanding into other asset classes.Fresh off of a $130M Series D fundraise led by Ribbit Capital, Juniper Square has expanded globally, into fund administration through its acquisition of Forstone, and has launched JunieAI to bring AI to fund administration.Alex and I had a fascinating conversation.

Especially for managers vying for capital from the wealth channel. Sure, there's increased demand from HNW and UNHW investors to gain private markets exposure…but managing their expectations for the investing experience is a whole different ballgame.Reams of paper and a new KYC process every single time they subscribe to a fund? Brutal.But what if committing capital to private equity, venture, and real estate funds was digital and seamless for investors — and scalable to manage for GPs?Meet Juniper Square, the fund operations partner to over 2,000 private markets GPs worldwide.Juniper Square gives GPs the connected software, data, and fund administration services needed for modern private markets.

You've mastered the art of keeping the peace — but it's quietly costing you. If approval has become your access point to belonging, it's time to recalibrate your identity and stop trading alignment for acceptance.You've heard it your whole life: “You're so steady.” “You're the calm one.” “You make everyone feel better.”And while you've taken pride in that — you're also tired.Tired of holding space for everyone else while quietly carrying your own unmet needs.Tired of reading the room, softening your truth, adapting your tone — just to keep the peace.High-capacity humans become emotionally bilingual — fluent in what others need from us. But slowly, our own voice fades.In today's episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, we're getting honest about what happens when your identity becomes fused with emotional management. Because when affirmation becomes your access point to belonging… you stop showing up fully. Not because you're hiding — but because you're curating.This is identity performance — dressed up as emotional intelligence.We'll explore:Why emotional fluency becomes emotional fatigueThe hidden toll of always being “the steady one”What happens when misalignment hides behind competenceThe difference between servant leadership and self-erasureHow to break free from approval-based identityYou'll also hear how Lisa Bevere — author, leader, and founder — once silenced her voice to be the “supportive wife” the church expected… and how she chose obedience over image and stepped into vertical alignment.This episode includes a Micro-Recalibration to help you recognize where you're performing to be liked — and what it's costing you in identity.Today's Micro-Recalibration:Name one area where you've been performing for approval — and ask yourself what it's cost.Not in energy. In identity.Where are you showing up to manage perception instead of speaking from clarity?What version of you are you keeping alive just to keep others comfortable?What belief about love, peace, or leadership is asking you to disappear?If you lead a team, a company, or a household — this matters. Your clarity will set the emotional tone — not your compliance.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

City Council voted to eliminate parking minimums this week — could this open the door for cheaper housing or just cause more traffic? Then, The Hornet announced it was closing after nearly 30 years on South Broadway. Was it rising rents, restaurant operation costs, or something else? At the same time, neighborhood businesses and residents will soon consider a special tax to pay for things like graffiti removal and private security in the hopes of helping South Broadway thrive. Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are joined by politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval to dig into these stories plus wins and fails of the week.  Paul mentioned Donald Shoup's work and his book, “The High Cost of Free Parking,” the new east security checkpoint at DIA, and the Colorado GOP's gross group chat about a colleague's attire. Bree discussed the time Big Lots left South Broadway, Tommy's Thai's GoFundMe, and Kyle Harris's reporting on Broadway for Denverite, which he discussed on our podcast. Justine talked about the gluten-free farmers market and the state's decision to ban the use of SNAP benefits to buy pop. What do you think about parking in Denver? Do we have too much or too little?
