 Santa Anita Park kicked off its 2025 Autumn Meet with famed trainer Doug O'Neill leading the charge. Home design expert Dean Sharp, “The House Whisperer,” shared insights on bathroom remodels and shower upgrades, offering listeners practical renovation tips. Later, Andy Reismeyer (filling in for Mo'Kelly) teased big guests, including the producer of The Voice and KTLA's Glenn Walker. 

Faith, Fatherhood, and Leading at Home with Intention In one of the most heartfelt episodes we've ever recorded, Chris and Melissa sit down with Bubba Page — a single dad of eight, serial entrepreneur, and unapologetic follower of Jesus — to explore what it really means to lead your family with faith, intentionality, and purpose. Bubba's story is raw, real, and deeply inspiring. From building and selling companies to walking through heartbreak and healing, he's discovered that success means nothing without faith and family at the center. He shares how his relationship with God transformed after a season of humility and loss, and how daily spiritual practices — from prayer and scripture study to worship and journaling — helped him discover God's will for his life. This conversation goes far beyond business. Bubba opens up about spiritual warfare, discerning the “three voices” we all hear, and how to cultivate strength and clarity to follow God's plan. He also shares how we can turn our deepest trials into the very source of our light — a message every parent and leader needs to hear. As a father, Bubba's mission is crystal clear: to raise warriors for Christ and equip parents with practical tools to lead their homes. He's now building the Fatherhood Movement and writing The Father Operating System, a guide that applies business principles — like KPIs, meetings, and mission statements — to family life. The goal? More intention, more connection, and more joy. If you've ever wondered how to bring more purpose, structure, and spiritual depth into your home, this episode will leave you inspired, challenged, and ready to step into your calling as a parent and leader.

On-again off again. Hot and cold. That's how I would describe more than 75 years of America's relationship with India. It's a story that seesaws between extremely close cooperation and virtually full ruptures and severe sanctions. And the goal of this interview is to learn from history how Pres. Trump's 50% tariffs may impact our relations with India now! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Have you ever noticed how so-called “unexpected expenses” always seem to show up at the worst time? The truth is, most of these costs aren't surprises at all—we know cars will break down, homes will need repairs, and Christmas comes every year. The key is not to panic when they arrive but to prepare ahead of time. One simple tool for this is the sinking fund.Scripture has much to say about preparation. Proverbs 21:20 tells us, “Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.” In other words, wisdom means setting aside resources now instead of consuming everything immediately.We also see this principle in Genesis 41, where Joseph, warned of famine, stored one-fifth of Egypt's grain during the years of plenty. His preparation wasn't random—it was steady and systematic. That's exactly how sinking funds work: consistent contributions toward expenses we know will eventually arise.What Is a Sinking Fund?A sinking fund is money you intentionally set aside for a specific future expense. Instead of panicking at a $1,200 Christmas bill, you save $100 per month all year. Instead of reaching for a credit card when your car needs new tires, you draw from the fund you've been building.This steady, disciplined approach provides freedom from debt and peace of mind when expenses come due. It's not glamorous, but it works.Proverbs 6:6–8 points us to the ant as an example of diligence: “Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.” The ant doesn't wait until the snow falls to collect food—she steadily prepares in advance.Trusting God doesn't mean ignoring preparation. Noah trusted God, yet he still built the ark. Farmers trusted God, yet they sowed seed. Joseph trusted God, yet he stored grain. Faith and stewardship go hand in hand.Where to StartIf you're new to sinking funds, begin with one category. Break down the expense into monthly contributions:Car repairs & replacement—Tires, brakes, or even a future vehicle.Home maintenance—Roofs, furnaces, and appliances all wear out.Medical costs—Co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses.Gifts & holidays—Birthdays and Christmas come every year.Insurance premiums & taxes—Annual or quarterly payments made manageable.Even small amounts—like $25 per month—add up to create margin. Over time, your “storehouses” will be ready when needs arise.In 1 Corinthians 16:2, Paul urged believers to set aside money regularly in proportion to their income to meet the church's needs. This is essentially a spiritual sinking fund—planned, systematic stewardship for Kingdom purposes.The goal isn't to hoard resources. Jesus warns in Luke 12:16–21 against stockpiling for ourselves. Instead, sinking funds free us to live responsibly and bless others without fear.Faith Expressed Through StewardshipChoose one sinking fund today. Maybe start with Christmas: divide your expected costs into monthly pieces and begin saving now. Once you've built the habit, add another fund. Before long, you'll have a system that turns stress into confidence and panic into peace.Creating sinking funds is more than a budgeting trick—it's a spiritual discipline. Each small deposit is an act of faith, demonstrating that you trust God by stewarding His provision wisely. Preparation doesn't replace faith—it reflects it.So start planning today. Build sinking funds for tomorrow. Trust God with the outcome. And remember: faith isn't just believing God will provide when the bill arrives—it's also honoring Him by preparing with the resources He has already placed in your hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm retired but still working a few days a week. Social Security is still being deducted from my paycheck—what happens to that money? Will I ever get it back?I'm 66 and planning to retire in 10 months. My wife is also retiring soon. Together we earn about $180,000 a year. How can we best manage our retirement resources to maintain our current lifestyle?I didn't have financial training growing up, and now I see my kids struggling with unexpected expenses and poor money habits. Are there any books that can help shift our family's attitude toward money?I've looked into faith-based investment options, but they seem to have higher fees and less diversification compared to Vanguard or Schwab. What's your perspective on that?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Your Money Counts: The Biblical Guide to Earning, Spending, Saving, Investing, Giving, and Getting Out of Debt by Howard DaytonWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Welcome to another powerful episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on why so many hardworking people spend 40 years saving faithfully, only to find themselves broke or stressed out in retirement.

It's because you might have fallen for certain myths or made some silent mistakes you didn't even know were happening.In this episode, we're tackling the three biggest retirement myths that can derail your future and walking through 12 critical mistakes that could quietly sabotage your freedom. More importantly, I'll show you exactly how to avoid them so you can finally live the retirement you've been dreaming about.Here's the truth: earning more doesn't make you free.

In the broader society, mistrust increasingly defines the parent-teacher relationship. But it doesn't have to be this way. As a Heights parent and seventh grade core teacher, Kyle Blackmer shares a practical vision for sound parent-teacher relationships. It begins with understanding parents and teachers in their true, cooperative roles for a child's good.

Jesus calls believers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. But what does a life wholly yielded to God even look like in this day and age? It's marked by a willingness to: - Die to yourself - Trust God completely - Know His Word - Submit to His will - Point others to Jesus - Suffer for His name - Follow Christ alone - Love others selflessly We are unpacking all this and more this week on the Loving Life at Home Podcast. I hope you'll listen in and be encouraged.

Too many renters delay buying because they think they need far more cash than reality. In this updated replay, David Sidoni explains why the “wait and save” mindset is one of the biggest mistakes first-time buyers make—and how much you actually need to bring to closing.If you've been sitting on the sidelines thinking you need $50,000, $80,000, or even $100,000 saved before buying, this episode is for you. In today's shifting 2025 market—where buyers finally have more leverage in many areas—the biggest obstacle is still misinformation about closing costs.In this myth-busting replay of episode 348, David Sidoni breaks down why 90% of aspiring buyers overestimate what it takes to close, costing them years of wasted rent and lost equity. You'll hear real-world examples of buyers who closed on homes with far less than they expected, plus the creative (but totally legit) tools that helped them get there: low down payment programs, seller credits, and assistance options.Closing isn't just a date on the calendar—it's a moving process with shifting costs and timelines. But with clarity, preparation, and the right mindset, you can take control of the chaos and finally stop waiting on the sidelines.“That phrase, ‘wait and save,' has cost renters hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary rent paid and equity lost.”HighlightsWhy most renters dramatically overestimate down payment and closing costsReal examples of buyers closing with as little as $4,100Why the myth of 10–20% down plus extra costs is holding you backHow loan programs, seller credits, and assistance can reduce cash neededWhy closing is a process, not a single day—and how to manage itThe mindset shift that helps Type-A buyers stay calm when timelines shiftThe truth: you don't need as much as you think to buy your first homeConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a close look at how the pressure to perform on the job can unconsciously spill over into your personal life (Amazon Affiliate). Many first responders feel their value is tied to achievement, productivity, or rank—and when that same mindset shows up at home, it can quietly damage relationships. We dig into how this pattern develops, why it backfires, and what you can do to shift from performance mode into presence mode with the people who matter most. 1. The Conditioning of Performance Culture Why law enforcement and first responder work rewards performance over vulnerability. How this mindset becomes ingrained and unconsciously carried into family life. 2. Signs You're Performing Instead of Connecting at Home Constantly trying to “fix” instead of listening. Over-scheduling yourself to prove worth instead of being still. Measuring value in what you do, not who you are. 3. The Emotional Toll on Your Spouse and Kids How loved ones may feel unseen or secondary to your achievements. The resentment that builds when presence is replaced by performance. 4. Why Performance Backfires in Relationships Achievement-driven interactions don't create intimacy. The disconnect between “providing” and truly being available. Why presence—not perfection—is what family members actually crave. 5. Strategies to Shift From Performance to Presence Practice active listening without offering solutions. Create intentional downtime with no agenda. Remind yourself that your worth at home isn't tied to your badge or your productivity. Use rituals (prayer, meal time, walks) to foster connection.

Send us a textThe heart-stopping moment when you realise your dog has vanished is something no pet owner wants to experience. Yet when Linda's tiny toy poodle Bobble disappeared during what should have been a routine walk, it led to valuable lessons that challenge everything we think we know about finding missing dogs.This compelling episode takes you through the entire emotional journey – from the split-second accident that led to Bobble's disappearance to the counterintuitive strategies that eventually brought him home. Most dog owners believe calling loudly and searching is the right approach, but Lauren discovered that silence and patience proved far more effective when Bobble entered "flight mode."The expertise shared from legitimate lost dog organisations reveals why scared dogs physically cannot respond to calls and how our natural reactions may actually drive them deeper into hiding. You'll learn practical, immediately useful strategies, including leaving scent items, keeping vehicles open, and recognising the early warning signs that might prevent a disappearance in the first place.Included is a cautionary tale about scammers who prey on desperate pet owners, having lost £575 to a fake drone search company in their moments of panic. This transparent account provides crucial information about legitimate resources like Drone to Home and Search and Rescue Drone charities that can help in these situations.Whether you have a tiny escape artist or a confident explorer, this episode delivers potentially life-saving knowledge every dog owner should have before they need it. Because, as Henry Ford said, "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail." Share this episode with fellow dog lovers – the strategies within could make all the difference between heartbreak and a happy reunion.Join us for AD Live & Unleashed, a *FREE* Naughty but Nice Dog 2-Day Event held 8-9 November 2025.

“The X-Files” premiered on the Fox network in September 1993. While the sci-fi mystery show was inspired by earlier series like “The Twilight Zone,” “Twin Peaks,” and “Kolchak: The Night Stalker,” creator Chris Carter tapped into a unique moment in the cultural zeitgeist to produce something even more resonant. The adventures of two outcast FBI agents investigating aliens, monsters, and unexplained phenomena clicked with a burgeoning interest in the paranormal and conspiracy theories, and a growing mistrust in government authority. What began as a cult classic quickly became a pop-culture phenomenon that defined the 1990s, and which continues to hold serious cultural cache. The truth is out there, and we intend to find it as the Great Pop Culture Debate attempts to name the best episode of “The X-Files.” Episodes discussed: “Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose,” “How the Ghosts Stole Christmas,” “Small Potatoes,” “Tooms,” “Squeeze,” “Leonard Betts,” “Quagmire,” “Ice,” “Home,” “Beyond the Sea,” “Humbug,” “Die Hand Die Verletz,” “Bad Blood,” “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster,” “Syzygy,” “The Host” Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback and Kate Racculia, and special guest author Victor Manibo as they discuss 16 of the very best episodes of “The X-Files,” both from the original run and the 2010s reboot.

In a wide-ranging conversation, I sat down with Renée Gaddis, founder of Renée Gaddis Interiors, to explore Florida's distinct design influences, the evolving role of designers in storm-prone regions, and the business of luxury interiors in uncertain times. Speaking from Naples, Florida, Gaddis compared her region's design sensibilities to other parts of the state, noting a blend of Midwestern, European, and Southern traditions. While many of her clients lean toward transitional or traditional styles, she observed that Miami remains more open to modern aesthetics. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep LOME-AI.com, simple, inexpensive, text to video harnessing the power of AI to grow your firm, beautifully. The discussion turned to real estate trends fueled by the pandemic, which brought an influx of new homeowners to Florida. Gaddis shared how this surge, combined with a major hurricane, reshaped her approach to client selection and project scope. She emphasized her boutique model, strong referral base, and commitment to seamlessly integrating interiors with exteriors to embrace Florida's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. On the financial side, she addressed rising costs and tariffs that have altered project budgets, leading to value engineering and sourcing U.S.-made products. Gaddis also reflected on the importance of partnerships with trades and vendors, especially during supply chain volatility, while advocating for transparent communication to maintain trust. The conversation also touched on resilient building practices in storm-prone regions. Gaddis highlighted lessons learned from past hurricanes, from identifying flawed hurricane-rated windows to designing with better drainage, elevated platforms, and even safe rooms. Her insights underscored the need for long-term sustainability in luxury projects. Beyond design, Gaddis shared her family's advocacy journey with the American Heart Association, inspired by her daughter's early diagnosis and treatment. This personal commitment, alongside her professional expertise, reflects her philosophy that resilience—whether in design or life—is built through experience, adaptability, and care. And you are going to hear the whole story, right after this. Thank you, Renee. Amazing. Loved our chat and appreciate the time. Thank you for listening.

In this episode of Money on My Mind, I dive into 17 powerful budgeting rules of thumb that will give you a clear roadmap for managing your money—whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your financial game.   From how much of your income should go toward a mortgage or rent, to the 50/30/20 rule, emergency funds, cars, student loans, and even how to handle windfalls, these are the guidelines that will keep you on track without overcomplicating things. I also share how these rules evolve as you build real wealth and why financial freedom often changes the “game” you're playing.   This is practical, actionable advice that you can apply today to build discipline, avoid common money traps, and set yourself up for long-term success.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 00:53 Rule #1: Mortgage payment ≤ 25% of take-home pay (exceptions up to 30%) 03:01 Rule #2: Home price = 3–5x annual gross income 03:37 Rule #3: Refinance if rates drop ≥ 1% 04:20 Rule #4: Save 1% of home value annually for maintenance 05:10 Rule #5: Rent ≤ 25% of take-home pay 05:44 Rule #6: Pay off debt vs. invest: when each makes sense 06:55 Rule #7: Total debt ≤ 36% of gross income (DTI ratio) 07:22 Rule #8: Student loans ≤ starting salary 08:00 Rule #9: Cars: cash preferred, or follow the 20/4/10 rule 09:17 Rule #10: Lifetime cost of a car = 3x sticker price 11:11 Rule #11: Replace car when repairs > car's value 11:46 Rule #12: Emergency fund = 3–6 months of expenses 12:52 Rule #13: The 50/30/20 rule: needs, wants, and savings/investments 13:35 Rule #14: The 30-day rule for big purchases 14:14 Rule #15: Food budget = 10–15% of gross income 15:10 Rule #16: Windfalls: spend 1–5% on fun, invest the rest toward goals 16:37 Rule #17: Estimate annual income: hourly wage × 2, add 3 zeros 17:32 Why these rules matter more in the beginning stages of wealth building 18:00 How financial freedom changes the rules beyond budgeting basics 21:53 Final thoughts: mastering each stage of wealth and knowing when to level up   Quotables   “If you can stay within these rules of thumb, you're going to do really, really well—even if you're not perfect.”   “A mortgage should be a blessing, not a curse.”   “Discipline is what separates those who win with money from those who struggle.”   Links   The Roadmap to Financial Freedom https://budgetdogacademy.com/order-now   Budgetdog https://budgetdog.com

What happens when something unholy enters your home in the dead of night? Jason from Georgia shares a chilling encounter that pushed him beyond fear and into survival mode. Home alone, fresh out of the shower, he heard the unmistakable sound of his front door opening. His family wasn't supposed to be there—and fugitives were on the loose in his area. Grabbing his gun, Jason went to investigate. What he saw wasn't human.  A woman stood in his dining room, her filthy dress clinging to her skeletal frame, long black hair hanging like a curtain over her face. One hand bore fingernails two feet long. She wheezed as if every breath was her last, echoing the labored sounds Jason had feared in the dark since childhood. Panicked, he ran to his room, arming himself with a blade. She followed, scratching at the walls, her presence unbearable. Just as Jason braced for the worst, something unbelievable happened: a massive hand, missing half a ring finger, appeared out of mist—his late father's hand. It slammed the creature's head into the wall before vanishing with her. That night, Jason realized his father had kept his promise: to protect him, even after death. #RealGhostStories #DemonEncounter #HauntedHouse #ParanormalExperience #GhostStoriesOnline #DarkEntity #SupernaturalProtection #FathersSpirit #ParanormalActivity #TrueScaryStories Love real ghost stories?

What if everything you were told about homeownership was a lie? This episode breaks down the death of the boomer American Dream — and introduces a smarter, realistic path to owning a home today.You've heard the narrative: the housing market is broken, homeownership is out of reach, and the American Dream is dead. And in a way, that's true — but not for the reasons you think.In this episode, David Sidoni tackles one of the biggest lies holding first-time buyers back: the myth that because the old dream died, homeownership is impossible. He reveals the truth about how the boomer-era vision of buying a home began collapsing over 50 years ago — and why it's time to stop waiting for a fantasy to come back.You'll hear a powerful story about Nicholas Z, a listener who came to How to Buy a Home with only $1,500 in savings. Ten months (and a few major life curveballs) later, he and his partner owned a 4-bedroom home. No inheritance. No shortcuts. Just strategy, guidance, and a new path.David brings the receipts: almost one million first-time buyers closed on homes last year. Most didn't put down 20%. Most didn't have financial help from family. The “dream” may be dead, but the opportunity is not. Learn how regular people are still winning — and how you can too.Quote:“The dream didn't die last year. It's been dead for decades — and we've been building a better path.”Highlights:The truth about the boomer-era American Dream (and why it's over)Why the current market isn't your enemy — it's just differentAverage down payment data from 2024 (hint: it's not 20%)FHA and 5% down loan options for first-time buyersNicholas Z's story: from broke to homeowner in under a yearWhat nearly 1 million first-time buyers did in 2024 that you can do tooHow to let go of the old story and focus on what works nowConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

Sarah Spiteri is the global brand director behind British shelter magazines Homes & Gardens and Livingetc. Livingetc is a modern creation, founded in the late 1990s to focus on contemporary style—but Homes & Gardens is an English institution dating back to 1919. After a ownership change, Sarah was tasked with revitalizing the print editions while growing the digital audience—she's been hard at work, keeping both titles vital in a challenging media environment. On this episode of the podcast she speaks with host Dennis Scully about the surprising fact that the majority of her online audience is American, why she wants to democratize the English design scene, and why, despite being an iconic British magazine, Homes & Gardens is open to publishing great design from anywhere in the world. This episode is sponsored by Loloi and CryptonLINKSHomes & GardensLivingetcDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on a topic that's everywhere on your social feeds, but rarely talked about honestly: The Real Cost of Pretending to be Rich. If you've ever felt that pressure to keep up with the Joneses—posting exotic vacations, driving luxury cars, sporting designer gear—this episode is for you.Let's be honest: social media has become one big “flex fest.” But here's the shocking truth—most people flaunting those lavish lifestyles aren't actually wealthy. They're exhausted, broke, and trapped in a cycle of debt. Looking rich doesn't make you free; it makes you fragile.I dive deep into why the ultimate flex isn't loud—it's quiet. Quiet wealth, the kind that compounds and grows behind the scenes, always beats the fleeting sparkle of loud wealth. And I know, because I've been on both sides. As a CPA and entrepreneur, I once believed success was all about spreadsheets, corner offices, and fancy possessions. But money without meaning is just being broke in a fancier outfit.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:Why looking rich isn't the same as being freeThe true financial cost of flashy purchasesHow emotional and social costs pile up when you're living for likes instead of your own valuesWhy quiet wealth is the path to real, lasting freedomThe four hidden costs of keeping up appearancesMy three-step practical framework to align your money with your valuesHow to use the free Lifestyle Cost Calculator to uncover your TRUE cost of living and start building YOUR money machineRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/Why Buying a Home is NOT the American DreamWhy Most Americans Never Escape the Middle Class TrapWhat Everyone Gets Wrong About FIREIf You Don't Understand Bonds, You Don't Understand Money7 Things I Wish I Knew Before I RetiredRECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU If you liked this video, you'll love these ones:Why Buying a Home is NOT the American Dream: https://youtu.be/ERxc8qmfjlAWhy Most Americans Never Escape the Middle Class Trap: https://youtu.be/VBMqrkvvHrYWhat Everyone Gets Wrong About FIRE: https://youtu.be/OyvPksxNMqoIf You Don't Understand Bonds, You Don't Understand Money: https://youtu.be/7d9Lz0D0uzAORDER MY NEW USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK:Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder For You Than You Did For It!The key to building the life you desire and deserve is to build your Money Machine—a powerful system designed to generate income that's no longer tied to your work or efforts.

In this episode, I sit down with designer and shop owner Molly Carter, whose passion for sustainability and storytelling in design is contagious. We talk about what it means to buy with your values, how she sources everything from hundred-year-old rugs to locally made candles, and why slowing down matters when you're building a home. Molly shares the stories behind her favorite projects, including a wine country retreat and a mid-century gem in Placerville, and reminds us that every choice—from a pillow to a piece of art—can carry history, culture, and care.  Want to finally define your style?
