    Before you spend another dollar on your home, look at the home you actually have.This week on Home & Hosting with Loui Burke, we're talking save or splurge, but not just what's worth the money. We're looking at how the age, architecture and existing character of your home should influence where you spend it in the first place.From '70s walk-ups and traditional cottages to contemporary new builds, I'm breaking down why fighting your home's architecture can become an expensive mistake, which original features are worth preserving, and where spending more will actually make a difference.Then we get into the practical stuff: where I'd save, where I'd splurge, what's worth investing in and, importantly, when the answer is to spend absolutely nothing.Because the rule is pretty simple: save where the item is flexible, spend where the decision is foundational, and stop assuming buying more is always going to make your home better.If you're enjoying Home & Hosting, follow the podcast and leave a rating.

    #NEZNATION LIVE: Personal Branding 101

    The WNBA controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham, DiJonai Carrington and Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White is exploding all over again — and now Stephen A. Smith has entered the conversation.After Carrington was ejected following a hard foul on Cunningham, White said she did not clearly see the play in real time before going to her postgame press conference. After reviewing the replay, White later described the play as “egregious.”But images circulating online have fueled even more questions about White's explanation — and the backlash became so intense that sections of the Indiana Fever's own HOME crowd booed their head coach.Then things got even stranger.White delivered an emotional defense of her players, talking about unity, love, grace and humility — before finishing with a message to her critics that “everybody else can go to hell.”Now Stephen A. Smith is asking the question millions of people watching this controversy have been wondering:How does the head coach not see what happened to her own player?We're breaking down the footage, the reaction, the boos, the contradictions, and why this latest controversy has become another massive headache for the WNBA.And what do you think Fever fans were REALLY saying when they booed their own coach?SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications for more breaking news, cultural commentary and stories the mainstream conversation can't stop talking about.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

    There's a particular kind of quiet worry that comes with being Childfree, the suspicion that everyone else received some piece of wiring you're missing. Dr. Amy Blackstone spent her mid-30s certain she was broken as a woman, and she went looking for the research to explain what had gone wrong with her. What she found became her life's work. There is no maternal instinct waiting to switch on, and the majority of Childfree people she interviewed had opted out for a reason that genuinely surprised her: they watched their parents do it well, understood exactly what good parenting asks of a person, and chose to put their energy somewhere else. She joins Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® for a conversation that runs from the political noise around falling birth rates to what the research actually says about regret, and lands on the thing that reframes everything. If you feel wrong, it may be because you've been measuring yourself against the wrong population.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why there is no scientific basis for the maternal instinct, and how the absence of that supposed pull leaves so many people convinced something is wrong with themThe biggest surprise in Dr. Amy Blackstone's research, that most Childfree people she interviewed had good childhoods and opted out precisely because they saw how much good parenting requiresWhat the research actually shows about regret, why the distinction between Childfree and Childless matters so much, which group does report unhappiness later in life, and how that compares to the share of parents who regret having kidsWhy measuring your life against the standard life script guarantees you'll feel like you're doing it wrong, and how comparing yourself to the right population changes the entire pictureHow stigma around the Childfree choice has shifted over the decades, what today's pronatalist politics and policy fights look like, and why roughly a quarter of the country remains almost entirely underservedResources Mentioned: Laura Carroll, Childfree author and advocate who revitalized International Childfree Day: https://childfreeinsights.com/resources/podcast/episode-74/ Marcia Drut-Davis, author of Confessions of a Childfree Woman:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marcia-Drut-Davis/author/B08429L4CL The Childfree Path to a Healthier Planet | Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP® | TEDxWilsonPark: https://youtu.be/ltZpfHCpHPg?si=38LrZlkf4oMGWyE8 Episode Guest:Dr. Amy Blackstone is a public sociologist who studies and writes about reproductive justice, population trends, workplace sexual harassment, activism and other forms of civic engagement, power and politics, and any other topic that strikes her fancy, hits the news, or gets myopic dingdongs with too much power riled up. In recent years, much of her focus has been dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic and what's been left in its wake: a silent but no less crushing aftershock, an illness known as Long COVID, that has claimed millions, snatching her from public life, while the world carries on as if nothing has happened. Her book, CHILDFREE BY CHOICE (Penguin Random House) enraged pronatalists the world over, a career highlight.

    Joel Skousen has spent nearly five decades helping people answer one question: where should you live when the systems around you start to fail? This talk has never been available publicly. Joel delivered it at Exit & Build 2, and we're releasing it now for the first time. In it he walks through the core of his life's work: Strategic relocation and how to evaluate where you live right now. Population density, prevailing winds, nuclear and military target proximity, water access, growing season, state law, and the neighbors you'd actually be depending on. Joel breaks down why he looks west of the Mississippi, which states he's changed his mind about, and the mistakes people make when they relocate for the wrong reasons. Home and retreat security. Joel is an architect who's designed high security residences across North America, Canada, and Latin America. He gets into secure room design, EMP-protected power, water and food storage, and what actually holds up versus what just feels safe. And the honest assessment of the threats. Grid failure, EMP, economic collapse, war, and the long-term consolidation of surveillance and control. Joel doesn't sugarcoat any of it, and he'll tell you why he refuses to. His view is that optimism is what keeps people from preparing. About Joel Skousen Former Navy and Marine Corps fighter pilot turned architect. He began writing The Secure Home in 1979, making him one of the genuine pioneers of the modern preparedness movement. He's the author of Strategic Relocation: North American Guide to Safe Places, still the definitive reference on threat-based relocation, and co-author of The High Security Shelter Book with his son, a structural engineer. He has published the World Affairs Brief every week for decades. Joel is speaking at Exit & Build 6 We just announced it. Joel is joining us in person at Exit & Build 6, November 5 through 8, 2026, at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas. He's giving a full talk plus a hands-on workshop, going deeper than he could in the time he had here.

You'll be able to walk up and ask him about your own property, your own plan, your own situation.

    Join us for the final installment of One True Book Club '26! In this series of episodes, we are reading the Hemingway-relevant selection, Under Fire by Henri Barbusse, the classic French WWI novel published in 1916.This episode covers the final chapters of the novel. We discuss how Barbusse balances graphic, grotesque depictions of the dead with artistic restraint; we analyze anti-war themes throughout this section, including Corporal Bertrand's powerful speech; and we reflect on the "ray of light" symbolism at the end of the book.Throughout the discussion, we connect our reading to other works by Hemingway: “Chapter X” of In Our Time [They whack-whacked the horse…], A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Men at War, “A Natural History of the Dead," and “Soldier's Home.” We also draw connections to other non-Hemingway works, among them J'accuse (dir. Abel Gance), Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, Bob Dylan's “Blowin' in the Wind,” Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Siegfried Sassoon's Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, and Saving Private Ryan (dir. Steven Spielberg).We are using the Penguin Classics edition with an Introduction written by Professor Jay Winter.

    One of my clients finished the month with sales down 23% on the year — and profit up 22% in that very same month.Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.There's an old business adage I wheel out more often than I probably should: turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, and cash is reality. Most of us know the phrase. Far fewer of us have ever been shown what it actually looks like inside a real independent retail business, month by month.That gap matters, because almost everything we are taught to celebrate — a big sales month, a record week, e-commerce growth — sits squarely on the vanity side of that sentence.In this episode I dig into what a healthy-looking top line can quietly hide. How much are you actually paying for those sales? What did the stock behind them cost, and what are you still sitting on unsold?I share the story of a retailer whose online sales grew enormously and who became less profitable as a result, and another whose order numbers fell while the business underneath got noticeably healthier. If you have ever had a month that looked wonderful on paper and felt awful in the bank, you already know the gap I am describing.I also get into the part almost nobody looks at until it starts to hurt: the cash locked up in your stockroom, and the one number that tells you whether your stock is working for you or quietly working against you.By the end of this episode you will know exactly which three numbers to check every single month, why the margin you set on the way in and the margin you actually achieve on the way out are two completely different things, and what it really takes to finish a year holding less stock and more money.Press play to hear how.CHAPTERS00:10 Sales down 23%, profit up 22% — the month that shouldn't add up02:18 What a big top line quietly hides06:39 In margin vs out margin — where the profit actually came from15:13 Cash is reality — the client now holding £900,000 less stockLINKSFind out more about Stock Doctor and apply: https://stockdoctor.netConnect with Catherine on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyAll episodes of the Resilient Retail Game Plan: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Catherine's book, Tame Your Tiger: How to Stop Your Product Business Eating You AliveMentioned in this episode:Home and Gift Association is our sponsor this monthhttps://www.homeandgiftassociation.org.uk/

    Mehr Zeit zum Denken: Wie KI echten Mehrwert schafft

    Unternehmer & Management

    Impulse von Mister KI:   Mit dem Ziel beginnen, nicht mit dem Tool: Professioneller KI-Einsatz setzt Klarheit darüber voraus, welches Problem gelöst und welcher konkrete Mehrwert erzielt werden soll. Schlechte Prozesse werden durch KI nicht automatisch besser: Bevor Unternehmen automatisieren, sollten sie Abläufe, Daten und Strukturen überprüfen und den Prozess konsequent digital neu denken. KI-Agenten brauchen Leitplanken: Begrenzte Berechtigungen, abgeschottete Testumgebungen und gründliche Tests verhindern, dass aus vermeintlicher Effizienz ein kostspieliges Risiko wird. Der Mensch wird nicht unwichtiger, sondern anders wichtig: Überblick, Erfahrung, Urteilsvermögen, Kreativität und Empathie bleiben menschliche Stärken. Gute Führung nutzt KI, um dafür wieder mehr Zeit zu schaffen. Interviewpartner: Heiko Knödel, Diplom-Informatiker, Unternehmer und Experte für Künstliche Intelligenz Im Interview: Heiko Knödel alias Mr. KI KI soll uns nicht das Denken abnehmen. Sie soll uns die Zeit dafür zurückgeben. Künstliche Intelligenz ist in vielen Unternehmen längst im Einsatz – allerdings häufig ohne gemeinsame Strategie, klare Regeln oder definierte Ziele. Mitarbeitende nutzen ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot und andere Anwendungen, doch vielfach kaum anders als eine Suchmaschine. Der erhoffte Produktivitätsgewinn bleibt dann aus – während Kosten und Risiken steigen. Bei Themen-Radio erklärt Heiko Knödel, bekannt als „Mr. KI“, wie Unternehmen aus ersten Experimenten einen professionellen und wirtschaftlich sinnvollen KI-Einsatz entwickeln. Sein wichtigster Rat: Nicht mit der Auswahl eines Tools beginnen, sondern mit der Frage, welches Problem gelöst und welcher konkrete Mehrwert erreicht werden soll. Dafür müssen Unternehmen ihre Prozesse, Datenstrukturen und Sicherheitsanforderungen kennen. Denn ein schlechter oder analog gedachter Prozess wird nicht automatisch besser, nur weil KI eingesetzt wird. Wie groß der Nutzen sein kann, zeigt Heiko Knödel anhand eigener Beispiele. Für ein hochwertiges Handout zu einer Präsentation benötigte er früher vier bis acht Stunden – heute entsteht es mithilfe von KI innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Auch Teile seiner Buchhaltung hat er automatisiert. Insgesamt investiert er nach eigener Aussage monatlich 15 bis 20 Stunden in KI, spart damit aber mindestens 40 Arbeitsstunden ein. Entscheidend ist dabei seine Erfahrung: Wie bei einem Mitarbeitenden definiert er Aufgaben, Grenzen und Sicherheitsvorkehrungen präzise. Besondere Vorsicht ist bei KI-Agenten geboten, die selbstständig auf Daten und Systeme zugreifen. Heiko empfiehlt, deren Berechtigungen klar zu begrenzen, sie zunächst in abgeschotteten Testumgebungen einzusetzen und vor dem produktiven Einsatz gründlich zu prüfen. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, welche Regeln Unternehmen für den Umgang mit Daten, die Auswahl von Anwendungen, Verantwortlichkeiten und die Qualifizierung ihrer Beschäftigten benötigen. Doch KI-Einführung ist nicht allein ein Technologieprojekt. Sie ist vor allem eine Führungsaufgabe. Führungskräfte müssen Orientierung geben, Ängste ernst nehmen und deutlich machen, wie KI die Menschen unterstützen kann. Richtig eingesetzt, soll sie ihnen nicht das Denken abnehmen, sondern wieder mehr Zeit dafür verschaffen. Denn bei aller Leistungsfähigkeit fehlen der KI weiterhin menschlicher Gesamtblick, Erfahrung, Urteilsvermögen, Kreativität und echte Empathie. Im Gespräch zeigt Heiko Knödel, warum gerade diese Fähigkeiten in einer zunehmend KI-geprägten Arbeitswelt noch wertvoller werden.   Der Mensch Heiko Knödel – „Mr. KI®“Heiko Knödel ist Diplom-Informatiker, Unternehmer, Speaker, Trainer und Autor. Bereits in den 1990er-Jahren beschäftigte er sich mit der Digitalisierung von Prozessen. Später arbeitete er in verantwortlichen Führungs- und Projektpositionen unter anderem für die Deutsche Bank sowie in Projekten bei Porsche, BMW und Merck. Heute vermittelt und implementiert er Künstliche Intelligenz in Unternehmen – von konkreten Anwendungsfällen und Prozessautomatisierung über KI-Strategie und Governance bis zu Datenschutz, Compliance und dem Aufbau sicherer Arbeitsumgebungen. Sein besonderes Profil entsteht aus der Verbindung von technologischer Expertise, Führungserfahrung und menschlicher Empathie. Als NLP-Master begleitet er Menschen und Organisationen auch bei den Veränderungen, die mit der Einführung von KI verbunden sind. Gemeinsam mit dem Würzburger Informatikprofessor Dietmar Seipel veröffentlichte er 2025 im Springer-Verlag das Buch „KI und Bots im Alltag – Künstliche Intelligenz verstehen und für Business, Home & Schule nutzen“.

    The Biblical Principle of the Leader-Warrior | Biblical Life TV | BLTV082026

    DESCRIPTION Biblical leadership and spiritual warfare were never meant to be separated. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture repeatedly connects godly authority with the responsibility to guard, protect, preserve, and advance what God has established. In this powerful Biblical Life teaching, Dr. Michael Lake examines a truth the modern Church desperately needs to recover: Every legitimate biblical leader is called to stand under God's authority—and biblical authority carries with it the responsibility to resist darkness. The shepherd's staff provides a powerful picture of this principle. It steadies the leader's walk, guides those who follow, and can become a weapon when the flock is threatened. That pattern begins in Genesis. Adam was commissioned to exercise dominion, guard what God entrusted to him, and extend God's order throughout the earth. Yet the spiritual conflict was already underway. Leadership was necessary precisely because there was something that needed to be guarded. This principle continues throughout Scripture. ·      Noah protected humanity through obedience. ·      Abraham defended the covenant family. ·      Moses confronted Pharaoh. ·      Joshua led Israel against the corruption of Canaan. ·      David defended Israel from its enemies. ·      Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem while preparing the people to fight. And Jesus Christ—the perfect Shepherd, Leader, and Warrior—came "doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil" (Acts 10:38). The modern Church has often separated leadership from spiritual warfare. The result has been weakened families, passive believers, exhausted pastors, confused authority structures, and Christians who have never been taught how to stand their ground spiritually. That must change. Dr. Lake examines how biblical leadership establishes God's order, while spiritual warfare protects it. You will discover why: ·      Leadership begins with submission to God's authority. ·      The home is one of the first places biblical leadership must operate. ·      Husbands and wives were designed to function together under God's order. ·      Spiritual warfare did not begin in Genesis 3—the conflict was already present in Genesis 1. ·      Adam was commissioned to rule, guard, and preserve what God entrusted to him. ·      The shepherd's staff symbolizes both leadership and warfare. ·      Satan consistently targets leaders because destroying leadership scatters those under its protection. ·      The fivefold ministry carries specific responsibilities in the spiritual conflict. ·      Truth, holiness, prayer, obedience, discernment, and forgiveness are powerful weapons of biblical leadership. ·      Spiritual authority grows as believers themselves submit to the authority of Christ. ·      The name of Jesus must govern us before we presume to exercise His authority against the enemy. One of the most important principles in this teaching is simple: ·      Because I am under authority, I can move in authority. ·      Spiritual authority is not bravado. ·      It is not yelling at demons. ·      It is not religious theatrics. It flows from submission to Jesus Christ, obedience to the Word of God, holiness, covenant faithfulness, and a life increasingly governed by the character of Christ. The days ahead will require believers who know how to lead themselves, protect their households, discern deception, stand on biblical truth, and resist the kingdom of darkness. It is time to take up the shepherd's staff again.  It is time to LEAD.  It is time to GUARD.  It is time to STAND.  And when necessary, it is time to FIGHT. The Bible is not merely a devotional book.  It is also a war book. And God is preparing His remnant to understand how biblical leadership and spiritual warfare function together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HELP US REACH AND EQUIP THE REMNANT If this teaching strengthens you, please: ✓ LIKE this video—it helps YouTube recommend this teaching to others. ✓ SUBSCRIBE to Biblical Life TV and turn on notifications so you don't miss future teachings. ✓ SHARE this message with pastors, fathers, husbands, ministry leaders, intercessors, and believers who understand that the Church must recover biblical leadership. ✓ COMMENT BELOW: What area of biblical leadership do you believe the Church most urgently needs to recover?

    Episode 402: The SEO Fixes You Can Do Today

    Acting Business Boot Camp

    Here is the scenario I want you to picture. A casting director, an agent, a direct marketing client lands on your page. They have 17 seconds and zero obligation to stay. In those 17 seconds your website either answers the question, can this person do what I need, or it does not. Most voiceover websites do not answer that question. Not because the actor is not talented. Because the website is not doing its job. And I say this as someone who has had a big reality check handed to me that I feebly and graciously accepted. So today I am going to walk you through five questions so you can audit your own website right now. Pull it up on your phone. Mobile is actually better because most people are hiring voice actors on mobile. Got it? Good. Let's go. Question One: Is Your Demo Above the Fold Above the fold means visible without scrolling. You land on the site and boom, there is your hero audio. This was an issue for me for about ten years. I had an image of myself, a little blurb, logos, and then my audio came. If someone lands on your homepage and has to scroll past a hero image, a headline, a bio paragraph, three sections of copy, and more logos before they hear a single second of your audio, you have already lost most of them. Your demo should be the first thing. The audio is the product. Everything else is context. Friction does not have to be enormous to be fatal. Even one extra click, one moment of confusion, one second of wondering whether the page is broken is enough to lose someone who has 80 other submissions waiting. Question Two: Is There Any Text Around Your Audio Player This one surprises people. Google cannot listen to your demo. If there is no text on your page describing what your demo covers, what vertical it is, what kind of clients you work with, Google has nothing to index. Your demo could be perfect and completely invisible to search engines. Here is exactly what I write and what you can adapt. Two to three sentences above the player. Mine says female commercial voiceover for national and regional brands. Warm, conversational, bright, retail, luxury, and everything in between. You can also add text below the player including your actual clients. Clients include blank. Source connect ready. Most projects delivered within 24 hours. That is not even 60 words. Do this for every audio section on your site. It is the single fastest SEO fix available and almost nobody does it. Question Three: What Does Your Page Title Say Go to your browser tab right now and hover over the tab your website is in. If it says Home or Professional Voice Actor or just your name, you have a problem. The page title is one of the most important SEO signals on your entire site and most voice actors leave it as the default. It should say something like female voice actor, commercial, e-learning, characters, your name. You can change this in your backend. In Squarespace it is the gear icon next to your homepage. While you are there also update your favicon, the little image that shows up in the browser tab. Casting people and agents have a lot of tabs open. Make it easy for them to find you. Use your headshot, not a generic microphone icon. Question Four: How Many H1 Tags Does Your Homepage Have The answer is one. One. An H1 tag is the main heading that tells Google what your page is about. Most voice actor websites built on drag and drop platforms accidentally tag every section headline as H1 because the builder defaults to it. I am raising my hand because that was me. Your main headline should be heading one. Everything else should be heading two, three, or normal. Go through and fix every one that is wrong. Question Five: Does Your Homepage Tell People What to Do Next This is the one almost everybody skips. Is there a clear call to action? Not a generic contact me buried in your footer. A specific visual next step. Hire me, listen to my demo, send me a project, ask me about a quote, contact me for a custom sample. If someone wanted to reach you after listening to your audio, how many clicks does it take? If the answer is more than one, that is too many. And if your contact form has too many required fields, fix it. You need their name, their email, and their message. That is it. Anything else and people will pass. The Bottom Line Your website has one job. Answer the question, can this person do what I need, before the visitor leaves. If it is not doing that right now, you now know where to start. Fix at least one thing today. Then fix another one tomorrow. This stuff compounds, and it will help you show up in search. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? I have a full 32-point checklist covering technical SEO, audio placement, content, conversion, design, and platform. It is in my Substack and will be in the show notes. Grab it and go through it. I also do something called a website colonoscopy. You can schedule that the same way you would schedule time with me. Reach out at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com. Share this with another actor who needs to hear it. See you next time.

    Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by acclaimed folk/pop singer-songwriter Caroline Cotter to talk about her brand-new single "Grounded In Love," arriving August 14, and the new music on the horizon. Recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Caroline and Zack Berkman (Ron Pope, The District), "Grounded In Love" draws directly from Caroline's extraordinary life on the road. Having performed more than 1,000 shows across 46 states and 19 countries, Caroline knows what it's like to live without permanent roots. The song explores how we can still find stability, connection, love, and a sense of home wherever life takes us. It's the latest chapter in a career built around deeply human songwriting. With her warm voice and honest lyrics, Caroline writes about connection, nostalgia, gratitude, loss, wanderlust, and the countless ways we experience life. Following acclaimed albums Dreaming as I Do, Home on the River, and Gently as I Go, Caroline released A Quiet Song of Hope in June 2026 and is now moving into another exciting stretch of new music. Her journey has been just as remarkable as her songs. Caroline has toured internationally, won the Maine Songwriters Association Contest, was a finalist at FreshGrass and the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival, and served as an artist-in-residence at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan. She also traveled through Italy on an "End of War Peace Tour" carrying a WWII-era Gibson guitar. We talk new music, songwriting, Nashville, life on the road, finding home in unexpected places, and the experiences that continue shaping Caroline's music.

    Zillow just cut more than 500 jobs while home sales are slowing and affordability remains near record-worst levels. But somehow, million-dollar home sales are surging. What kind of housing market is this? This week on **tWiRE: This Week in Real Estate**, we're looking at a housing market increasingly divided by income, geography and buying power, while some of the industry's biggest players fight over listings, access and even what it should mean to call yourself a REALTOR®. **In this episode, we'll cover:** • Zillow cutting roughly 7% of its workforce and what the restructuring may tell us about the portal's strategy and the broader real estate economy • Sen. Elizabeth Warren turning up the pressure on Compass and MRED over private listings, transparency, fair housing and competition • Howard Hanna's controversial proposal for a two-tier REALTOR® system where the title would have to be earned through experience and production • A federal appeals court handing NAR a significant victory in Homie's antitrust lawsuit • Home sales falling as mortgage rates climbed to their highest levels in roughly a year • The widening divide between the luxury market and first-time buyers, with million-dollar sales rising while entry-level buyers retreat • Why buyers in many markets suddenly have more time, choices, concessions and negotiating leverage • The strange affordability story: starter homes are becoming slightly easier to afford even while the typical American home still requires an income near $110,000 • Mortgage demand showing a little life again as rates finally stop their recent climb The national numbers may say "slow housing market," but that description is becoming less useful. Some buyers have leverage. Some buyers can't afford to participate at all. Some luxury markets are running hot. And the industry itself is still fighting over who gets access to listings and who controls the consumer. Join us live on YouTube!

    Home equity investment companies are winning attention with a simple pitch: no debt, no interest, no monthly payment. So how should reverse mortgage professionals respond? In this HECM World Food For Thought, LoanDepot reverse mortgage leader Lisa Moriello explains why loan officers should stop trying to out-simplify HEI marketing — and instead reframe the conversation around the homeowner's long-term financial outcome. Lisa explores: Why HEIs are increasingly entering the conversation before a reverse mortgage does Why dismissing home equity investments outright can damage credibility The question loan officers should ask instead: what will you actually owe when you leave the home? Why “no interest” does not mean no cost How HEI settlement timelines can matter for homeowners planning to age in place The difference between sharing future home appreciation and paying interest Why HUD-approved counseling is an important distinction How to move clients from comparing marketing pitches to comparing actual outcomes As Lisa puts it: “We're never going to out-market a venture-backed app with a slick onboarding flow … but we can out-explain them every single time.” For reverse mortgage professionals facing growing competition from HEIs, this is a practical framework for having a more credible, transparent and effective client conversation.

    Your intuition isn't quiet. It's just been out-shouted by your mind for years. In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Anna Gannon, an intuitive psychic and energy mastery teacher who has spent years training hundreds of people to hear their own inner guidance. Anna breaks down the ten distinct ways intuition actually speaks, from chills and gut feelings to taste, smell, and a knowing with zero evidence to back it up, and explains why the heart always talks first. Anna also shares her own story: starting Ziva Meditation while deep in postpartum depression, then a solo pilgrimage to India where a kundalini awakening left her getting electrically shocked every five seconds for three months. She traces how her meditation foundation gave her the nervous system capacity to hold that awakening, and how Ziva Magic's emotional alchemy work helped her channel that raw current into her creativity and her marriage. The episode closes with a story of using her intuition to help heal her mother from a jungle hammock in Costa Rica. In this episode, Anna explores: The ten distinct ways intuition communicates, from sensing and feeling to clear hearing, seeing, taste, smell, and guidance Why her almost seven-year-old son told her, “my heart always talks first, it's just my mind is so much louder” A kundalini awakening in an Indian temple that left her electrified every five seconds for three months Why she believes her meditation practice made that awakening survivable instead of destabilizing How Ziva Magic's emotional alchemy helped her turn that life force into creativity and connection Her mentor's line: “this work doesn't make your life easier, it just gives you more choices” Healing her mother's body from across the world using nothing but intuition Why she never says “just trust your gut blindly,” and what she teaches instead Key Moments: 00:33 – The Kogi prophecy: the end falling into the beginning 05:02 – What an intuitive actually is 06:24 – Her son's line: “my heart always talks first” 09:26 – The ten ways intuition speaks 17:15 – Smelling radiation: a reading that revealed a client's cancer 21:52 – Why cells have two jobs: take care of themselves, take care of the whole 28:37 – Postpartum depression and the login that changed everything 32:42 – A solo pilgrimage to India, decided in one scroll 38:03 – The kundalini awakening in the temple 44:29 – Home, and electrified every five seconds for three months 48:44 – How Ziva Magic's emotional alchemy helped her channel the current 51:11 – How to start developing your own intuitive relationship today 1:01:29 – Healing her mother from a hammock in Costa Rica ✨ Ziva Magic is open.

    Episode 624 is here, and Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are covering an absolutely unhinged collection of stories from sports, entertainment, celebrity culture, and the internet. The guys open with a look back at the history of The Baller Lifestyle and the show's long-running inside joke behind the name before immediately getting into some truly bizarre territory. IN THIS EPISODE: The World's Smallest Penis Gets a Growth Spurt The man who claims to have the world's smallest penis has an enhancement procedure scheduled, funded in part by a surprisingly successful GoFundMe. Brian and Ed discuss the economics of internet sympathy, cosmetic procedures, and why people will apparently donate thousands of dollars to almost anything. The Silent iTunes Song Hack A brilliant old-school solution to the problem of your car automatically playing the first song in your iTunes library: a song consisting almost entirely of silence. The guys discuss the strange genius of solving technological annoyances with an even stranger technological workaround. ️ RIP: Vincent Pastore The guys remember the actor best known as Big Pussy Bonpensiero from The Sopranos and revisit one of the show's most memorable storylines. RIP: Don Nelson A look at the legendary NBA player and coach, including his championship career, his time with the Warriors and Mavericks, and his disastrous stint coaching the Knicks. RIP: Ben Jones / Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard Brian and Ed discuss the actor behind one of television's most recognizable Southern characters. RIP: Glen Hansard The guys talk about the acclaimed Irish musician and his connection to The Commitments, along with the dangers of motorcycles. RIP: Tom Chadbon A brief tribute to the actor whose credits included Game of Thrones and Casino Royale. RIP: William Orbit The legendary producer's passing leads into a discussion of his work with Madonna, Blur, and other major artists. RIP: Robbie Albarado The guys remember the two-time Preakness-winning jockey and discuss the brutal physical demands of professional horse racing. Influencers, bizarre deaths & the internet Brian and Ed continue their unofficial investigation into the increasingly strange world of influencers, including a discussion of dangerous stunts and mysterious deaths. SPORTS Former NFL Receiver Arrested at a Bowling Alley Former NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey is arrested after police allegedly find him engaged in sexual activity at a Florida mall bowling and arcade venue. Brian and Ed attempt to understand the decision-making involved in having sex in a public place surrounded by people who are literally there to bowl. The $800,000 Sports Betting Dispute A bettor claims he won nearly $800,000, only for Caesars to void the tickets over alleged violations of betting rules. Brian and Ed debate the fine print, sportsbooks, and whether casinos should be allowed to find technicalities when they don't want to pay a massive winning ticket. The Shohei Ohtani / Ippei Mizuhara Gambling Saga The conversation turns to gambling addiction, bookies, and the enormous amount of money reportedly lost in the Ohtani gambling scandal. Alleged NFL Player Investment Scam The guys discuss Mohamed Koulibaly, who was accused of running an e-commerce/investment scheme involving former NFL players before being found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool. Zach Hample Is Still Catching Everything The infamous baseball home-run ball hawk is back in the conversation after nearly catching another historic baseball. Brian and Ed discuss Hample's ability to predict where baseballs are going — and whether being a professional home-run ball collector is one of the world's most annoying hobbies. The Mookie Betts Foul Ball That Got Away Brian revisits the time Mookie Betts hit a foul ball directly toward him and he failed to make the catch, despite being perfectly positioned. Former Cal State Bakersfield Coach Gets Prison Time An update on the former Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach who was convicted in connection with a prostitution operation. VOICEMAILS & LISTENER MAIL Lala LSU Calls In The voicemail segment returns with Lala LSU, including a reminder of his signature sign-off and his now-infamous song. Should The Baller Lifestyle Do 75 Hard? Brian considers taking on another round of 75 Hard, potentially involving listeners and an additional daily guitar-practice requirement. The guys discuss discipline, habit formation, goal setting, and whether committing to a structured challenge through Thanksgiving could provide some much-needed motivation. Hash Browns vs. Home Fries A listener wants to settle one of the most important debates in breakfast history. Brian and Ed pick sides — while acknowledging that certain Irish-style breakfast potatoes may deserve consideration. Cocaine Wars: Tim Raines vs. Doc Gooden The Baller Lifestyle's unofficial Cocaine Wars returns. This time the competitors are two MLB legends: Tim "Rock" Raines Dwight "Doc" Gooden The guys discuss the notorious cocaine use of both players, including Raines' infamous habit of carrying cocaine in his uniform pocket and Gooden's struggles with addiction during his spectacular but troubled career. And, of course, the show gets another custom AI-generated Cocaine Wars theme song. The "Rot" Has Set In A listener submits a bizarre take on Mets rookie pitcher Jeffrey Yan celebrating after a strikeout, leading Brian and Ed into a discussion about player celebrations, individuality, ego, and the increasingly dramatic policing of professional athletes' behavior. How Often Do You Check Your Fly? A listener asks the guys how frequently they make sure their zipper is actually zipped. This leads to an unfortunately detailed discussion of zipper-related injuries and Brian's history of unfortunate encounters with his own pants. The Technology Problem Brian and Ed discuss the strange reality of modern technology, convenience, smartphones, and the idea that we're increasingly tethered to the machines in our pockets. The conversation eventually reaches Ted Kaczynski, The Terminator, data centers, and the uncomfortable possibility that some of the concerns about technology were not entirely insane — even if the methods were. PATREON / BONUS CONTENT The regular episode wraps up with a reminder that the show continues exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Brian and Ed then dive into even more bizarre stories, including: ️ The Influencer Who Allegedly Had Relationships With 50–75 Prisoners An internet personality allegedly maintained relationships with dozens of incarcerated men, leaving Brian and Ed with one major unanswered question: How exactly was she getting access to all these inmates? Death's Door A young couple disappears while kayaking near Wisconsin's infamous Death's Door, a dangerous stretch of water with a long history of shipwrecks. The story leads to a discussion about questionable vacation activities, kayaking, and whether any place called Death's Door should ever be on your travel itinerary. Yellowstone, Landman & Billy Bob Thornton Brian and Ed discuss the strange world of modern television, including Yellowstone, Landman, Billy Bob Thornton's unlikely commercial career, and the increasingly surreal nature of celebrity advertising. Robert Carradine / Revenge of the Nerds The guys discuss the tragic death of Robert Carradine and the lawsuit filed by his family against UCLA, while talking about mental illness, institutional responsibility, and the difficult circumstances surrounding his death. ️ Washington, D.C. Relationship Drama The episode closes with a particularly messy Washington political relationship story involving Eric Swalwell, Stephen Miller's former wife, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk. Brian and Ed examine the strange intersection of politics, celebrity, sex, power, and Washington's seemingly endless relationship drama.

    Day 2924 – Exchanging What's Good for What's Best – Luke 10:38-42

    Welcome to Day 2924 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2924– “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best.” – Luke 10:38-42 Putnam Church Message – 08/02/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best.”   Last week, our message was “What About My Neighbor's Neighbor?” and we learned that we need to become the neighbor and get back to the basics: Love God, Love Neighbor, Show Mercy. Today, we continue with our thirtieth-second message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best.” Our core passage today is Luke 10:38-42, on page 1613 of your pew Bibles. At the Home of Martha and Mary 38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today with grateful hearts, but also with honest hearts. We confess that we are often busy, distracted, worried, and upset about many things. We serve, but sometimes we serve with anxious hearts. We work, but sometimes our work pulls us away from the One we are working for. Lord Jesus, invite us again to sit at Your feet. Teach us that good things must never replace the best thing. Help us learn the difference between faithful service and frantic busyness, between loving hospitality and anxious striving, between doing for You and being with You. Holy Spirit, quiet our minds, soften our hearts, and help us hear the voice of Christ today. Amen. Introduction: Real People in Real Homes One of the endearing qualities of the Bible is its down-to-earth approach to life. The people in Scripture are not presented as plaster saints, polished statues, or untouchable heroes who never lose patience, never misunderstand, never get tired, and never say the wrong thing. They are real people. They have real homes, real families, real personalities, real frustrations, and real disagreements. Abraham gets afraid. Moses gets overwhelmed. David falls terribly. Elijah gets discouraged. Peter speaks too quickly. Thomas doubts. James and John want to call down fire. And Martha gets irritated with her sister in the kitchen. That is one reason the Bible speaks so deeply to us. It does not pretend life is neater than it is. I sometimes wonder if the people in the Bible knew their family moments would be preserved for centuries of readers around the world. If Martha and Mary had known that one brief household squabble would become one of the most famous family scenes in Christian history, they might have said, “Luke, could you please leave that part out?” But the Holy Spirit preserved this moment not to embarrass Martha or elevate Mary as though one sister is good, and the other is bad. This story is much wiser and much more gracious than that. Luke places this scene immediately after the parable of the Good Samaritan. Last week, in “What About My Neighbor's Neighbor?” we heard Jesus say, “Go and do the same.” We were reminded that mercy crosses the road. / Love sees need. / Mercy moves. / Grace sends. / That is important because we might now think, “Then Christianity is all about doing, serving, helping, feeding, bandaging, paying, visiting, giving, and going.” And yes, those things matter. / But now Luke gives us a balancing scene. /After showing us mercy in motion, Luke shows us worshipful attention. / After showing us the Samaritan crossing the road, Luke shows us Mary sitting at Jesus' feet. / After showing us love in action, Luke reminds us that action must flow from relationship. / The point of this passage is not that serving is bad and listening is good. The point is that even good service becomes disordered when it pulls us away from Jesus. Today's message title is: “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best.” And the central truth is this: Jesus does not call us away from service; He calls us to serve from the strength of being with Him. Our passage is Luke 10:38–42 in the New Living Translation. Jesus and His disciples enter a village, and Martha welcomes Him into her home. Her sister Mary sits at the Lord's feet, listening to what He teaches. Martha becomes distracted by the preparations and asks Jesus to tell Mary to help her. But Jesus answers with compassion, saying, “My Dear Martha,” and then tells her that she is worried and upset over many things, but only one thing is truly necessary. Mary has chosen what is best, and it will not be taken from her. We have four truths in our bulletin insert today to illustrate this lesson. Main Point 1: Martha Welcomed Jesus, But Busyness Pulled Her Away From Him Luke tells us that as Jesus and the disciples continued on their way, they came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. John's Gospel tells us that Martha, Mary, and their brother Lazarus lived in Bethany, a village near Jerusalem on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. Bethany was close enough for Jesus to travel into Jerusalem, yet far enough away to provide rest from the pressure of the city. This little home appears to have become a place of refuge for Jesus. In Luke 9, He set His face toward Jerusalem. He is moving toward the cross. Opposition is increasing. The road is heavy. And here, in Bethany, He is welcomed into a home. Do not miss the beauty of Martha's action. / Martha welcomed Jesus. / That was not a small thing. In the ancient Near East, hospitality was sacred. Travelers depended on the kindness of households. There were no modern hotels on every corner, no drive-through restaurants, no refrigerators full of leftovers, no grocery delivery service. To welcome guests meant real labor. Water had to be brought. Bread had to be prepared. Food had to be gathered, cooked, and served. Space had to be made. Hospitality was not merely social courtesy. It was a moral responsibility. / And Martha does it. She opens her home. She takes responsibility. She sees what needs to be done. Many of us should be thankful for Marthas. Every church needs people who notice what needs doing. Every family needs people who remember the details. Every ministry needs people who prepare, plan, cook, clean, organize, schedule, unlock doors, make coffee, set tables, print bulletins, and quietly keep things moving. Without Martha-like people, many good things would collapse. So, Martha's problem is not that she served. Her problem is that her service became a distraction. Luke says she was “distracted” by all the preparations. The word carries the idea of being pulled away, dragged in different directions. Martha is not simply busy. She is divided. Her attention is stretched thin. She is working for Jesus, but she is being pulled away from Jesus. / That can happen to us too. We can serve the Lord and slowly lose sight of the Lord. / We can work in the church and become irritated with the people in the church. / We can prepare meals, teach lessons, lead committees, visit the sick, give generously, and still grow resentful because the work has become disconnected from worship.

    Trucking says it has a DRIVER SHORTAGE. So why are some  carriers still burning through drivers at 90%+ turnover? Maybe trucking doesn't have a recruiting problem. Maybe it has a job worth keeping problem. On this episode of Brake Check, Charles Gracey digs into why professional drivers leave and why the industry's answer always seems to be recruiting MORE people instead of fixing what sends them out the door. Sherri Garner Brumbaugh, CEO of Garner Transportation Group and former ATA Chair, breaks down what her fleet does differently to retain drivers and faces tough questions about the disconnect between drivers, carriers and the organizations representing trucking in Washington.Then Charles brings on fellow SiriusXM Road Dog host Dan Ronan joins the conversation to tackle the numbers, the driver cycle and what drivers are saying that trucking's boardrooms still aren't hearing. We get into: 90%+ driver turnover The “driver shortage” debate Pay and unpaid working time Home time and dispatch Why good drivers actually leave Recruiting vs. retention The ATA-driver disconnect What successful fleets do differently Whether trucking has built jobs people actually want to keep You can recruit veterans, women, younger drivers and every other untapped workforce in America but if the job doesn't change, you're just pouring more people into a leaking bucket. Stop replacing drivers. Start giving them a reason to stay. This is Brake Check.

    Power Your Parenting: Moms With Teens
    # 385 Can Moms Do it All?

    Power Your Parenting: Moms With Teens

    What if the secret to doing it all isn't trying harder—but finally putting yourself back into the equation? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady talks with Dr. Anne Welsh, psychologist, executive coach, working mother of four, and author of Ambitious Mother: From Surviving to Thriving in Your Career and at Home. Dr. Welsh understands firsthand the invisible pressure women feel to succeed at work, show up fully for their families, and somehow keep everything running—often at the expense of themselves. Her work challenges the idea that mothers must choose between success and sanity and offers a new way to think about ambition, motherhood, and what it means to thrive. Colleen and Dr. Welsh explore the “ambition paradox”—the belief that work takes away from your kids, kids take away from your work, and the only solution is to stretch yourself thinner and thinner until you virtually disappear from your own life. Dr. Welsh encourages moms to redefine ambition, moving away from the traditional “ladder” of achievement toward a more flexible “web,” where there is room to pivot, rest, prioritize relationships, pursue meaningful work, and change direction as life changes. They also discuss the surprising “motherhood advantage”—how parenting develops empathy, leadership, negotiation, problem-solving, and other skills that can actually make women stronger in their careers. The conversation gets especially relevant for moms of teens and tweens as Colleen and Dr. Welsh unpack the often-overlooked mental and emotional load of this stage of parenting. Teens may need less hands-on care, but their heartbreaks, academic pressures, mental health struggles, changing friendships, and unexpected crises can require tremendous emotional energy. Moms need safe places to share that load and permission to adjust their careers and ambitions as family needs change. And as kids move toward college and adulthood, moms may also find themselves wondering, What do I want now? Dr. Welsh encourages women to start small—notice the “breadcrumbs of joy,” reconnect with their preferences and desires, and give themselves time to discover what they want their next chapter to become. 3 Takeaways 1. Put yourself back into the equation. When work and family both need something, moms often sacrifice themselves first. Your needs, desires, friendships, interests, and ambitions matter too. Taking care of yourself isn't separate from taking care of your children—it helps you show up as a more whole and fulfilled person. 2. Redefine what ambition means to you. Ambition doesn't have to mean climbing a corporate ladder, earning more money, or achieving a prestigious title. You can be ambitious about connection, relationships, meaningful work, impact, creativity, peace, or having more breathing room in your life. And what you're ambitious about can change in different seasons. 3. Your kids are watching how you live your life.When moms pursue what matters to them, they model something powerful: You are allowed to have a meaningful, fulfilling life. Instead of teaching children that adulthood and parenthood require burnout and self-sacrifice, moms can demonstrate self-respect, flexibility, purpose, and fulfillment.

    #1757: Embody a Geranium in Immersive Comedy about Boredom in “The Great Escape”

    I interviewed Joren Vandenbroucke about The Great Escape on Monday, September 1, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for The Great Escape: "In The Great Escape, the viewer arrives as the third of three geranium flowers stuck on the windowsill in the bare living room of Patrick, a lonely 38-year-old man. The geraniums are bored to death and constantly frustrated – with themselves, the windowsill, and Patrick. They long to see the world, but are literally rooted in place. Patrick, meanwhile, walks freely but never leaves the house, trapped in his own lonely routine. Every day starts the same: watering the plants, making coffee, feeding his goldfish, activating his roomba, collecting junk mail, then daydreaming by the window. The monotony gets shaken up when Patrick buys a smartphone to connect with the outside world. The geraniums secretly steal it and post a selfie in a plant swap group, where a woman named Sonja spots it. She convinces Patrick to swap the geraniums for her snake plant. The geraniums are thrilled as they venture outside with Patrick, until a chat with a dying bouquet of roses reveals the outside world isn't so kind to plants. The ensuing existential crisis leads the plants to their near demise and ultimately to a new home with a rather familiar setting." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Home [4], then using communications technologies with a cell phone and social media [3] to connect to someone else in the neighborhood [3]. Then going on a massive adventure. [9] For a human, it's a short-distance travel [3], but for this geranium, it may feel like a completely exotic long-distance journey [9] relative to how often plants move around. "They long to see the world, but are literally rooted in place." Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: Very FUNNY! Narrative-driven, immersive animation. Surreal comedy genre.2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: You embody a geranium who uses a phone to put themselves on an Online Marketplace and escape into another human owner. From one home to another via public tranportation. The rest of the world is mundane living rooms, a subway trip, and then getting to be outside facing the busy city street3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Dialogue. Single-player experience. But you have some virtual co-presence with other geraniums, as you are embodied as a geranium4th Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: I can't recall if there were any explicit interactions other than being embodied as a geranium. If there were, then they just gated the narrative. May have been some phone interactions. Hard to remember Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Tension between Boredom of Reality and the same daily routine and Grand Adventure and Excitement. "The geraniums are bored to death and constantly frustrated." Some pretty brave and courageous acts to go on this adventure. Also fears around potential death associated with this adventure. "The geraniums are thrilled as they venture outside with Patrick, until a chat with a dying bouquet of roses reveals the outside world isn't so kind to plants." After the brush with death, then they enter their new home and a new but similar daily routine begins. "The ensuing existential crisis leads the plants to their near demise and ultimately to a new home with a rather familiar setting." Artist Statement: "At the core The Great Escape is about the boredom that comes with comfort. In this story a pair of houseplants are longing for a “great escape” from their daily dull routine, even though nothing is particularly wrong with this daily flow. On one hand the contradicting wishes and desires of the geraniums might seem amusing, but on the other hand they are relatable as well to people who harbour similar escapist dreams or experience certain inexplicable feelings of ennui. Fleeing a golden cage takes courage and learning to let go sometimes, as Patrick experiences in this story. Even then a safe return is not always guaranteed, like the geraniums find out. Still, there is beauty to be found in the ordinary aspects of life and the flow of daily existence." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH5bGRsqn4k This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.
