In this episode, Mark and Cindy explore Galatians 2:1–10, when Pau explains his return to Jerusalem fourteen years after his conversion. Guided not by human pressure but by divine revelation, Paul meets privately with respected leaders like Peter, James, and John to confirm that the gospel he preached to the Gentiles—salvation through Christ alone, free from the requirements of Jewish law—was the true message of grace. Through the example of Titus, a Greek believer who was not compelled to be circumcised, the episode highlights the early church's struggle against those who sought to add legal burdens to the gospel. As we walk through this passage, we'll see how Paul courageously defends the freedom believers have in Christ, preserves the truth of the gospel for future generations, and demonstrates the unity of God's mission—one gospel going to both Jew and Gentile, with a shared calling to remember the poor and live obediently in response to the grace of God.

We have a husband and wife hiking duo on the show today. Mosey and Sourpatch hiked the Appalachian Trail last year, needing to get it done before Sourpatch's eye condition deteriorated further. On the way, they found purpose in several ways, with Mosey on the logistics as Sourpatch carried a bunch of military dog tags on to Katahdin.                             Summiting Katahdin on 9/11 with two previous guests of the podcast–Tony Roddy (Silverback) and Rob Diamond (Dog Tag)–gave extra meaning to their hike.                             You can check out their pictures from their hike and other adventures at (@advenutreswithcrystalandwill) • Instagram profile.                           Tristen Murphy, from the Hike the Good Hike cohort, returns to the show to tell us why she has switched the focus of her upcoming hike from the John Muir Trail. Find out where she's going now. Then, my latest accountability blog ties up a few loose ends as I prepare for my own thru-hike next Monday.

Welcome to the Find Your Fierce Podcast, where you will discover your fierce, unlock an unstoppable mindset, build unbreakable courage, and completely transform how you show up every single day. I'm your host, Jill Allen, and I'm so glad you're joining me today. This episode is for you — the leader, the mom, the woman who feels pulled in every direction yet still wants to show up fully. The one who hustles, checks all the boxes, and still wonders if she's missing the moments that matter most. The one who's craving alignment, clarity, and the freedom to lead without feeling frazzled.  In this conversation, I'm talking about leading from rest — not the kind of rest that comes from giving up, but the kind that fuels strength, presence, and purpose. We talk about how quiet strength looks different from the loud hustle culture we're used to — choosing boundaries over busyness, saying no without guilt, and making decisions from clarity rather than urgency. I share personal stories about valuing family over obligation, about how choosing the moments that truly matter has made me a better leader, a calmer parent, and a more present woman. We also dive into practical ways to live this out: creating anchors for your day, moving your body intentionally, showing up fully in relationships, and using a decision filter to align every yes with your values and capacity.  This episode isn't about doing more. It's about stopping what was never meant to be yours, stepping into steadiness over frenzy, and leading with strength, calm, and purpose. If you've ever felt stretched thin or caught between what's expected and what truly matters, this episode is your invitation to lead differently, live aligned, and show up without burning out. Key Takeaway: "If you don't decide your pace, pressure will. And if you don't decide your priorities, everyone else will." - Jill Allen "Hustle keeps you stuck in survival mode. It trains your nervous system to think, okay, calm equals danger or stillness equals laziness or boundaries or selfish." - Jill Allen MORE… But Different: A 7-Day Reset to Lead From Rest, Not Hustle This workbook is your invitation to clear the chaos, quiet the noise, and finally get back to what matters most. To align your days with what God is actually calling you to, not what the world expects from you. To learn how to show up for your life—not from pressure, but from rest. (Yes, that can be done!) Check out my favorite health must-haves HERE!

Czechia less vulnerable to energy turmoil despite Middle East tensions, illegal distilleries on the rise following hike in excise tax, Karel Břinda on research at Harvard and working with bacteria as if they were books

Washington in Focus Daily | Thursday Mar. 5, 2026 Carleen Johnson hosts The Washington in Focus Daily, a review of some of the top headlines concerning taxpayers in Washington State. On today's show, Democrats appear to be torn on how to move foward with an income tax bill, energy bills maybe going up as PSE says they need to hike rate, and a lawsuit is filed of the DOL data breach.

Some consumers say they're already seeing an increase in prices of petrol and home heating oil. Our Western Correspontent, Pat McGrath spoke to people in Galway city this lunchtime. Hauliers are calling for emergency supports to help with rising price of fuel, Ger Hyland President of Irish Road Haulers Association.

This episode explores the dramatic transformation of the Apostle Paul in the Epistle to the Galatians 1:13–24, tracing his journey from zealous persecutor of the church to passionate proclaimer of Christ. Reflecting on Paul's own testimony, we examine his honest reckoning with a violent past, his refusal to minimize sin or be immobilized by guilt, and his wholehearted embrace of grace. Connecting his words with Epistle to the Philippians 3:7–9, we consider what it means to count former gains as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. From God's sovereign calling “from the womb,” to all he accomplished, and the astonished response of the early believers, this conversation highlights the power of repentance, divine calling, and a life lived for the glory of God alone.

A prominent Clare haulier is calling for a Dáil vote to be taken tonight to scrap Carbon Tax amid an expected rise in fuel costs. The Irish Road Haulage Association is predicting the price of petrol and diesel will soon soar above €2 per litre due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Speaking earlier this week, Micheál Martin has stated there should be no increase in fuel costs as Ireland's oil is sourced from the North Sea, and has pledged to engage with the Consumer Protection Commission. Former President of the IRHA Eugene Drennan however has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the Taoiseach is ill-informed.

Bhutan Itinerary Days 4–7: Druk Wangyel Festival, Punakha Dzong + Phobjikha ValleyIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I continue my Bhutan travel series covering Days 4–7 of my guided journey through one of the most unique and spiritual countries in the world.These were some of the most immersive days of the entire trip.It begins high in the mountains at the Druk Wangyel Festival, held annually at Dochula Pass. Surrounded by 108 chortens and Himalayan peaks, this patriotic festival honours Bhutan's Fourth King and celebrates peace, unity, and national identity. Wearing the traditional Bhutanese gho, I experienced mass dances, military performances, storytelling, and a powerful display of modern Bhutanese culture.From there, we descend into the warmer Punakha Valley — home to the breathtaking Punakha Dzong, one of Bhutan's most important historical and spiritual landmarks. Built in 1637 at the meeting point of two rivers, this former capital remains a living monastery and royal ceremonial site — and yes, it's where Bhutan's King and Queen were married.I also hike to the hilltop temple Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, walk through rural villages to reach the famous fertility temple Chimi Lhakhang, and cross the swaying Punakha Suspension Bridge with dramatic valley views below.One of the most special experiences? Staying in a traditional Bhutanese homestay — helping churn butter, cooking local dishes, and learning about family history in a farmhouse perched above the valley.The journey then takes me east into the stunning Phobjikha Valley, often called the “Switzerland of Bhutan” for its wide glacial landscape and alpine feel. Here, I overnight at Gangtey Monastery, witness an emotional end-of-year monk ceremony, and experience Bhutan's spiritual depth in complete silence — and freezing temperatures.Check out my previous Bhutan episodesEpisode 1 Interview with Ugyen Rinzin - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000743770563Episode 2 - IMMERSIVE Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000744754502Episode 3 - Days 1-3 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000745691316Episode 4 - Interview with a female monk - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000747763604Episode 5 - IMMERSIVE Day in Bhutan - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000748856300Episode 6 - Ama Om Homestay Interview - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000750963609

Is Trump's War on Iran Illegal? Gas Hikes, Culture Chaos & More The U.S. and Israel have launched major military strikes on Iran — and Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been confirmed dead in the conflict. What started as a limited strike has already escalated with Iranian retaliation and global tensions rising. Critics are calling this an illegal war, and analysts warn gas prices could spike sharply as oil markets react.  President Trump is publicly touting the campaign as a ‘victory' — even suggesting Americans will sacrifice while his own family is spared from frontline risk. Meanwhile, everyday Americans are bracing for the real consequences: higher energy costs, economic instability, and the possibility of this conflict drawing out.  But that's not all. Another mass shooting has renewed national debate over gun violence. Anti-LGBTQ legislation is advancing in New Hampshire, bringing civil rights tensions back into the spotlight. And Hollywood? Your very own entertainment industry is celebrating itself even as the world fractures around it. This was one hell of a weekend — war, division, culture clashes, and political hypocrisy. #TrumpIranWar, #IranConflict, #MiddleEastWar, #KhameneiKilled, #IsraelUSStrikes, #GasPrices, #EnergyCrisis, #IllegalWar, #USPolitics, #DonaldTrump, #WarOnIran, #OilMarket, #GlobalNews, #CurrentEvents, #BreakingNews, #MassShooting, #GunViolence, #NewHampshire, #LGBTQRights, #CivilRights, #HollywoodNews, #EntertainmentIndustry, #PoliticalAnalysis, #WarConsequences, #DemocracyWatch, #TheKarelShow, #IndependentMedia, #LasVegasBroadcaster, #PublicPolicy, #NewsCommentary

The idea of traditions can feel heavy and like once you do it you're stuck doing them forever… I wanted to do a fullll podcast episode that would give you lots of ideas that feel light and fun and can be so special to your family.  Things that make you all feel more connected… and that feel so unique and important to your family. It's easy for parenting to feel like a constant sprint sometimes… school, sports, meals, naps… it's a refreshing change to lean into special things that your family does. I realized how precious this is when one of my kids wrote a little paper about one of our traditions in 1st grade.  You realize… this is the stuff they remember and the resinates deep. This whole thing is about pausing these busy life days we are all living and thinking about emotional anchors we can create throughout the year. Traditions don't have to be rigid. They don't have to be expensive. And they definitely don't have to be perfect. Today we're talking about a fresh way to think about family traditions: Some traditions you repeat every year  Some you rotate  Some you try once and just remember  Some you write down so your family builds its own memory playbook Because what kids remember most isn't perfection… it's connection. HOLIDAY TRADITIONS The goal here isn't more pressure. It's creating emotional anchors in the year. VALENTINE'S DAY TRADITIONS Love notes on door After dinner game Decorate Valentine boxes & make notes for each other Secret Santa but Valentine style Blow up heart with balls and prizes to find inside Kids serve you dinner on Valentine's Kids go out to dinner with you on Valentine's HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS Say Trick Or Treat at the front door on Halloween in Costume Do family costumes and everyone plans them together Decorate the inside and/or outside of the house in a certain theme or go all out together Give out something specific like full size candy bars Set-up a game for trick or treaters to play to win an extra candy Pumpkin carving or pumpkin painting - invite everyone over THANKSGIVING TRADITIONS Gratitude time capsules, write notes and open them the next year Family volunteer Saturday Everyone puts what they are most thankful for in a hat and everyone guesses who said what Wear "thankful" shirts Family interview night, record what everyone is most thankful for - especially grandparents Coloring page to color all day on kids table CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Put lights around your neighborhood on Christmas Eve Ornament tradition, collecting special ones when you travel or making them Cutting down or picking out tree together right after thanksgiving Advent calendars Reindeer food Drive to see Christmas lights Decorate Christmas cookies Matching PJs FOURTH OF JULY TRADITIONS Do something nice for a veteran or someone that helps our country or community Stop by fire station with breakfast or something nice USA pride anything - decorate car windows, we do our golf cart Find neighborhood event at a park or create one NEW YEAR'S EVE TRADITIONS Family Vision Board Night  Bang pots and pans Highlights of the year jar in kitchen- add to it throughout the year and read at end of year NY planning and goal setting Write a letter to yourself of what would make you consider next year a big success, if what happened, if you felt like what Watch the ball drop together with blowers Plan vacations for the year BIRTHDAY TRADITIONS (FOR KIDS AND PARENTS) Birthday breakfast interview... ask the same five questions every year  Go around the table and do full toasts about why you love the bday person Everyone decorates their room before they wake up Presents first thing in the morning Smash cake in the face One present from each person in the family One nice thoughtful card from each person in the family MONTHLY TRADITIONS One long Sunday dinner with games New experience day - try one new thing you have never done before One service project day, or just a few hours Hike, outdoor long walk together FAMILY DINNER TRADITIONS Rose, Thorn, Bud — best part, challenge, what you're excited about  Theme Dinner Nights with music and food from different countries  THE TRADITION NOTEBOOK IDEA Instead of forcing traditions to be permanent, create a small family notebook where you write down ideas you tried… funny moments… things you want to repeat someday. This removes pressure and keeps the magic. Keep it somewhere easy like kitchen or nightstand. Traditions evolve as your family grows. Traditions are not about doing more. They're about choosing moments that slow life down… even just a little. You don't need to create ten new traditions this year.  You don't need Pinterest-perfect ideas. Start with one small thing that feels natural to your family. Maybe it lasts one year… maybe it becomes something your kids talk about forever. The real goal isn't perfection. It's creating a feeling… a rhythm… a sense that no matter how busy life gets, your family has small anchors that bring you back to each other. And over time, those moments become the story of your family.

This episode, Mark and Cindy explore the weight of Paul's divine calling, the danger of manmade religion, and the freedom found only in the unaltered gospel. Through Paul's testimony and bold rebuke, we are challenged to examine what we believe, why we believe it, and whether we are seeking the approval of God or of men.

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to share how investors can navigate Australia's shifting interest rate landscape. The trio start by discussing the shift into a rising-rate environment, noting that while rate increases impact cash flow, they should be anticipated and planned for. Victor breaks down the real cost of a 0.25 per cent rise on a $1 million mortgage, stressing that disciplined preparation makes such changes manageable, while Reshmi emphasises building portfolio resilience, arguing that rate rises are part of the cycle and should be factored into every long-term plan. The hosts stress that successful investing goes beyond buying property, emphasising the need to understand costs, borrowing limits, and risks, while prioritising the ability to hold assets through market volatility. In an increasingly frenetic market, they warn against rushed or unconditional offers and instead advocate a deliberate portfolio strategy prioritising long-term sustainability over short-term gains.

In Ontario, we have rent control on buildings occupied before November 15, 2018. That means the landlords for these buildings can only raise rents for current tenants once a year at a percentage or "guideline" set by the Province. If they want to raise the rent higher, they have to apply for an Above Guideline Increase (AGI), and their stated reasons have to meet certain criteria such as paying for expensive improvements to the building or hiring security. But researchers have been studying these increases to how and where they're applied, who is affected, if they're being used appropriately. Two of the researchers studying AGIs are University of Toronto Scarborough Professor Julie Mah and University of Waterloo Associate Professor Martine August. They worry these above guideline increases are being used by landlords as an extra revenue tool or even a means to push tenants out. To find out how these AGIs affect tenants, we spoke to Douglas Kwan, director of advocacy and legal services at Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario. He questions whether AGIs are even necessary in many cases, when the landlords make more than enough from current rents. Are rules around rent increases being exploited for profit?

Tom Bennett, or Porkie is today's guest. Tom had an epic adventure on the Long Trail in Vermont, sharing with us the family connection he has to the trail.               It wasn't a straightforward hike, with serious injury and recovery, plus dramatic floods punctuating his efforts over two years. He remained resilient and completed his mission after his various mishaps.                             Tim also wrote a blog of his journey for the Trek, which you can read here at Tim Bennett, Author at The Trek . He has now written a book about both his and his father's hikes, which will be available later in the year. When I get that link, I'll put it in future show notes.

This week we're taking a look inside the tent to see the new growth that's been happening on Cactus Carl! I've been learning a bit more about caring for TBM cacti and it's paid off in two new pups! They sprang up about a week and a half ago and have been growing vigorously ever since! It's been a strange week again over here, so the 2nd part of this episode is spent out in the woods. I'm grateful that I have my legs, a healthy body, and the ability to be outside! Thank you all for watching/listening and I'll see y'all next week!Support the show

If you're looking for a way to improve your fitness, boost your mental health, and reconnect with a deeply human activity — all without going to the gym or pounding your knees on a daily run — then rucking may be the practice you've been looking for.Rucking is simple: throw some weight on your back and start walking. But a little context and a few key tips can make it a safer, more effective, and more satisfying experience. Here to unpack those principles and practicals is Michael Easter, author of Walk With Weight: The Definitive Guide to Rucking. Michael and I first explore the evolutionary and military history of carrying load. We then dive into why rucking is perhaps the most accessible form of training for strength and stamina, and such an effective tool for alleviating back pain, building bone health, and fostering fat loss. We get into using a backpack versus a weighted vest, how much weight you should carry, and how you can get started today with stuff you've probably already got lying around.Resources Related to the PodcastMichael's previous appearances on the AoM podcast: Episode #708: Overcome the Comfort CrisisEpisode #930: Break Your Bad Habits by Escaping the Scarcity LoopThe Comfort Crisis by Michael EasterAoM Article: Cardio for the Man Who Hates Cardio — The Benefits of RuckingAoM podcast interview with the founder of GoRuckAoM Podcast #682: Get RuckingAoM Article: Don't Just Lift Heavy, Carry HeavyAoM Article: How to Take Care of Feet on a Hike or RuckAoM Article: One Weird Trick for Busting Through a Weight-Loss PlateauAoM Article: The Benefits of Hanging for Strength and MobilityAoM Article: Lessons From the Roman Art of WarGoRuckConnect with Michael EasterMichael's Substack: Two PercentSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Not far beyond Dublin's busy streets lies a landscape of forest trails, heather-covered hills, and stories that stretch back thousands of years. The Dublin Mountains are closer than most visitors realize – and packed with history, mythology, and unforgettable views. trail in the Dublin Mountainsphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission This article is based on podcast episode 327 featuring Ben Shorten, owner of My Bike of Hike, guided tours around the Dublin area delivered in a sustainable way. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Dublin Mountains: An Easy City Escape with Ancient Stories The Dublin Mountains form the northern edge of a granite mountain range that stretches nearly 90 miles through Leinster. While they're often overshadowed by their Wicklow neighbors, this is where the range actually begins – right in South County Dublin. The rounded granite hills make for accessible hill walking rather than extreme hiking. Trails are generally approachable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness, making this a fantastic half-day or full-day addition to a Dublin itinerary. From many vantage points you'll enjoy: Sweeping views over Dublin City and the suburbs Panoramas across Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea Scenic outlooks into the Wicklow Mountains Forest walks and open heathland On a clear day, the views alone are worth the trip. Getting to the Dublin Mountains Without a Car Yes, you can reach the Dublin Mountains by public transport. Several bus routes connect the city and suburbs to trailheads and nearby villages. Services aren't always as frequent as visitors might hope, but options are steadily improving. With a little planning (and a quick online search), it's entirely possible to spend the day hill walking without renting a car. That accessibility makes the Dublin Mountains one of the easiest outdoor escapes from the capital. Prehistoric Tombs Older Than the Pyramids Here's where things get fascinating. On many of the Dublin Mountains' summits, you'll find prehistoric megalithic burial tombs, many of which predate the Egyptian pyramids and even Stonehenge. There's often little signage. No grand visitor center. Sometimes just a mound of stones quietly resting at the top of a hill. But these sites may be 5,000 years old. Fairy Castle cairnphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission One notable example sits atop a mountain commonly called Fairy Castle (also known historically by several names, including from the Irish language). The mound is believed to be an ancient tomb—possibly a passage tomb—yet it has never been excavated. What lies beneath remains a mystery. That sense of standing somewhere sacred and ancient, largely undisturbed, is powerful. You're quite literally walking where people walked thousands of years ago. Where Mythology, History & Archaeology Meet In the Dublin Mountains, it's common for prehistory, documented history, and Irish mythology to overlap. Mountains like Seefin and Seefingan (names derived from Irish) are linked to legends of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna. According to mythology, these were hunting grounds and even “seats” of the great warrior himself. Climb the hill and you may find: A prehistoric tomb A mythological story tied to the summit Historical records from later centuries Few places weave together so many layers of story in one location. Hellfire Clubphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission The Hellfire Club on Montpelier Hill If there's one Dublin Mountains site many visitors have heard of, it's the Hellfire Club. Perched on Montpelier Hill, the remains of an 18th-century hunting lodge overlook the city with spectacular views. The lodge was built in 1725 by William Conolly, once one of the wealthiest men in Ireland. Local lore says that stones from a prehistoric tomb were used in its construction. Soon after it was built, legends claim the roof blew off – a punishment, some said, for disturbing ancient ground. Later, the building was associated with the notorious Hellfire Club, a group of aristocrats rumored to have hosted wild and possibly sinister gatherings there. While hard evidence is limited, the stories have endured for centuries. Today, visitors can walk up Montpelier Hill, explore the structure, and imagine the layers of history – prehistoric ritual site, 18th-century hunting lodge, and legendary meeting place. It's atmospheric, dramatic, and one of the best viewpoints near Dublin. Exploring the Dublin Mountains with a Local Guide Ben Shorten, owner of My Bike or Hike, offers guided experiences throughout Dublin – city, coast, countryside, and mountains – with a strong focus on local connection and sustainability. His approach includes: Supporting small, family-run businesses Using public transport where possible Sharing deep local knowledge and storytelling Introducing visitors to lesser-known but equally rewarding locations Rather than focusing only on the most crowded attractions, his tours highlight places that are just as meaningful – often with far fewer people. Tours can be booked directly through the website, and custom experiences are available upon request. The Dublin Mountains hikes are open to visitors and suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. Follow the adventures on Facebook and Instagram. 3 Places to Visit in the Dublin Mountains If you're heading into the hills, here are three locally loved spots worth adding to your plans: Hazel House (A Place to Eat)A cozy, family-run café tucked into the Dublin Mountains. Hazel House is known for rustic meals and produce grown in their own polytunnels.After a hill walk, there's nothing better than a hearty lunch made with local ingredients. Sophie's Sauna in Glenasmole (A Place to Enjoy)A newly opened hot-and-cold sauna experience hidden in the Glenasmole Valley. It's quickly become a favorite for those looking to relax after a hike – or simply soak in the mountain surroundings in a different way.Bonus: Sophie, the sheep (who thinks she's a dog), might greet you. Ollie's Honey Farm (A Place to Learn)Visit a local beekeeper producing award-winning honey from hives throughout the Dublin Mountains.Tours allow visitors to learn about beekeeping, taste truly local honey, and even suit up and see the hives up close. It's a hands-on way to connect with the landscape – through its flowers, bees, and flavors. The Dublin Mountains may sit just outside the city, but they feel a world away. Whether you're chasing panoramic views, ancient tombs, mythological tales, or a bowl of homemade soup after a hill walk, this landscape delivers. And once you stand on a summit overlooking Dublin Bay, it's hard to believe more people don't add it to their itinerary.

Schedule a free discovery call. https://marriedentrepreneur.co/lets-talk In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui sit down with Ford Taylor, chairman of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce board and founder of FSH Consulting Group. Ford shares his remarkable journey from scaling a struggling two-employee screen-printing shop into a $300M, 2,000-employee enterprise to ultimately redefining success when business growth came at the cost of his marriage, family, and personal well-being. His story is a sobering reminder that external success can hide internal brokenness—and that unchecked ambition often extracts a hidden toll at home. At the heart of the conversation is a defining moment every busy entrepreneur needs to hear. Ford recounts the night his six-year-old daughter asked him, through tears and ice cream, an innocent question that became the wake-up call that saved his life, redirected his priorities, and forced a courageous decision to realign business leadership with family leadership. Ford candidly opens up about insecurity, burnout, infidelity, and the hard road of rebuilding trust—offering hope to couples who feel trapped between providing financially and being emotionally present. The episode closes with practical wisdom for married entrepreneurs who want to win at work and at home. Ford outlines the guardrails he and his wife put in place—clear communication, shared decision-making around travel and opportunities, season-based priorities, and values-driven clarity. He introduces a simple but profound framework for balancing family, income, health, and community, reminding listeners that success is not about doing everything, but about intentionally choosing what matters most. This conversation is both a warning and an invitation: you don't have to hit rock bottom to change course. Website: https://www.transformlead.com/  Podcast & Resources: https://fordtaylortalks.com/  Key Takeaways Success without alignment is dangerous: Business growth means little if it costs your marriage, health, or relationship with your children. Children often see what adults ignore: Honest feedback—even from a six-year-old—can reveal what success metrics miss. Clarity creates peace: Defining values, priorities, and boundaries before opportunities arise removes guilt, conflict, and indecision. Guardrails protect trust: Openly discussing travel, time, and commitments strengthens both marriage and business leadership. Seasons matter: There are times to lean into work and times to lean into family—agreement and communication make both possible. You don't have to break to rebuild: Learn from others' stories so change can happen proactively, not painfully. Bio Jerry "Ford" Taylor grew up in Paris, Texas before heading to Texas A&M, where he earned his BBA in Business Management—but his most unforgettable college credential wasn't academic. Ford and his soon-to-be wife, Sandra, became campus favorites by teaching disco and country western dance to thousands of students, a 16-year run that revealed an early gift for equipping people with confidence and connection. After graduation, Ford stepped into retail management, unaware that the entrepreneurial chapter ahead would redefine his career. In 1982, Ford and Sandra purchased a struggling two-employee screen-printing shop, C.C. Creations, and transformed it into a powerhouse. Through acquisitions and growth, Ford eventually became CEO of Brazos Sportswear, a 2,000-employee, $300-million leader in screen printing and embroidery. His business impact earned him recognition as Texas Small Businessperson of the Year and a top-10 finalist nationally. In 1998, after decades of building and leading high-growth companies, Ford pivoted toward leadership consulting—first as a Senior VP at Great American Insurance, then as an ordained minister committed to helping leaders remove constraints and build healthier cultures. Today, Ford is the founder of FSH Consulting Group and Transformational Leadership, training organizations across the U.S. and around the world. He has delivered leadership development and conflict-resolution training in more than a dozen nations, authored the best-selling Relactional Leadership, co-wrote The Hike, and hosts the podcast Ford Taylor Talks. A sought-after speaker and board member—including Chairman of the Board for the U.S. Christian Chamber—Ford continues to blend business excellence with servant-leadership influence. He and Sandra, married since 1981, have three daughters and a grandson, and their legacy continues to ripple through every leader, team, and city they serve.

Michael Neiman, who, along with Bruce Matson, brought us Platinum Blazing to the trail, is our guest this week. Michael thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2018, and his new book tells that story–as a 98% true novel.                   Michael, or Sharkbait has been juggling a job, parenthood, and his writing to bring this book to publication, and it's a good read, with plenty of page turning moments.                   You can check out the book at his website, Hello Neiman, or on Amazon at Hello My Name is Sharkbait: A 2,000-Mile Adventure on the Appalachian Trail.

Facing a $376 million deficit, BART announced that without more funding, it will consider drastic cuts including closing one-third of its 50 stations and raising fares by 30%.
