How do you stay balanced when life throws you a curveball? Brian was left hopeless when his marriage broke up a decade ago. Filled with shame, forsaken, and terrified to lose everything, it wasn't easy for him to bounce back. However, he did. Having experienced a deep transformation, a renewed faith, things changed within and around him for the better. Dr. Brian Russell is an author, a professor of Biblical Studies, and a spiritual transformational coach. He is the founder of Deep Dive Spirituality a coaching program for pastors and spiritual leaders. His forthcoming book, Centering Prayer talks about silent, solitary practices before God that can turn your life around. He is also the host of The Deep Dive Spirituality Conversations podcast. Reading the Bible for the last 37 years, turned him into more than a master in it. In this episode of True North Man, Paul and Brian engage in a rich conversation, deepening your understanding of the Scriptures, your relation to God, Faith and Spirituality, life in general, and much more. The discussion brings clarity to many of the baffling thoughts you might deal with. A believer or a non-believer, you are sure to win some valuables from this enlightening talk.    What you will learn: What dark phase of life Brian had been through after his marriage broke up and how he got over it. How Brian opened himself up to deep experiences of inner healing by God's grace. Why there is sin in this world even when God is all-powerful and good. How you strengthen your belief in God. Why every person should strive to become ‘the person you are created to be' by the Lord. And many more enlightening moments!   Favorite Quote: “We're all redeemable if we open ourselves up to God. There is true, sanctifying grace that God gives to transform us and  help us to grow.” -          Dr. Brian Russell   How To Get Involved:   Find out Brian through his Website, or on Linked In, Instagram, and Twitter.

And so as marketers jump into a new job and they want to really show value right away. But if you don't have a good foundation of understanding, what's working, what isn't, you don't have a really good marketing automation platform that's configured the right way and the right MarTech stack and the right data stack, it's going to slow you down later.

Brian Tate is the Founder and CEO of Oats Overnight. He studied at the Grande Valley University for two years before leaving to pursue professional poker. After more than a decade of playing high-stakes poker, he took his passion for risk, analytics, and game theory and applied that expertise where it was needed: the crowded breakfast foods industry. As a health and fitness enthusiast, Brian had already spent years experimenting with homemade oatmeal recipes that complemented his workout regimen and demanding schedule at the poker tables. Looking for a more convenient shelf-stable alternative that would save him time without compromising on nutrition, he created Oats Overnight. Oats Overnight is the first spoon-free, high-protein oats formula. Since its start, the Oats Overnight team has grown to generate eight figures in annual revenue and served 10 million meals. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:  Brian Tate's background playing professional poker and how that led to the founding of Oats Overnight How Brian started selling his product commercially and where he got the finances to start his business Oats Overnight's journey to retail storefronts and through e-commerce sites How Brian handles his company's fulfillment process How the COVID-19 pandemic impacted Oats Overnight and how they allow their customers to customize purchases Brian talks about the company's plans and future product lines Brian's experience transitioning from playing poker to becoming a CEO The partners Brian has been working with and his exit strategy Brian's advice to fellow entrepreneurs on building a successful business In this episode… Playing poker requires a lot from you: time, energy, and especially, mental clarity. To stay on top of the game, players have to work out as often as they can and ensure that they eat clean, healthy food regularly. This is why Brian Tate started making his own oats cereals for breakfast. When he realized his product wasn’t really accessible in the market, he decided to start making them commercially. Similar to playing poker, Brian found out that you can't control everything that happens in the business world — but you can control the processes, systems, and decisions that you make based on the information you have. Some business decisions can lead to bad results that need adjusting, but usually, entrepreneurs just have to stay focused and learn from their mistakes. In this episode of the NexxtLevel Brands Podcast, Steve Cleere interviews Brian Tate, the Founder and CEO of Oats Overnight, about starting and scaling a breakfast cereal CPG brand. Brian shares his experience playing poker professionally, growing sales through retail and e-commerce, and how his company provides customized products to customers.

The author's name is Brian Scott, and he's my guest on today's podcast. Brian is an author, motivational speaker, thought leader, life coach, transformation coach, influencer, podcast host for the reality revolution podcast and the laptop lifestyle podcast, and he is also an artist. He has studied and worked on consciousness expansion for over 20 years. His primary goal is to find that spark to and unleash your greatest potential.

He incorporates basic to advanced strategies and technologies such as meditation, hypnosis, qi gong, reality transurfing, sensory deprivation, virtual reality, mind tech, quantum jumping, reality shifting, yoga, energy psychology, luck coaching, NLP, Silva Mind Control, and biohacking. After walking away unscathed from a near-fatal shooting in his home, Brian began a fanatical search for answers. He deepened his research into parallel realities, quantum mechanics, and consciousness to uncover what happened in his close call with death. Along the way, he developed a series of techniques capable of creating profound transformations. In The Reality Revolution: The Mind-Blowing Movement to Hack Your Reality, Brian introduces you to the techniques that have helped his clients find lasting love, create wealth, and revitalize health.

His expertise is integrating pricing and value disciplines across Sales, Marketing, Innovation, Supply Chain, Technology and Finance functions in large or complex organizations.   In this episode, Brian talks about value over cost and contract packaging pricing in the petrochemical and personal care industries. He shares how Velo provides service that prepares you for negotiation readiness and places you on the advantage against other negotiators.  Why you have to check out today’s podcast:  Learn and understand negotiation readiness as a process to save you worth millions of dollars Find out why companies need the best relationship managers more than the best negotiators Learn how you price value over cost    “What we find consistently is less than 4% of customers almost always drive more than 64% of margins and revenues. And if you really want to change pricing in your business, figure out how to impact that concentrated mix and those monumental episodic negotiations.”   - Brian Sharp    Topics Covered:  01:16 - How Brian’s Pricing career started  02:23 - Why does he stay in pricing and why he shuns the pricing title  04:05 - How people define pricing  05:22 - What is a rise-fall mechanism in pricing  06:33 - Thinking in terms of value over cost in the petrochemical industry  07:43 - Pricing in contract packaging  08:46 - How businesses in commodities are invested in the value chain  10:16 - How incumbent transactional relationships are often shaped by context  13:01 - Understanding negotiation readiness as a process  15:57 - Effective relationship managers versus savvy negotiators  21:00 - Why wouldn't we go sell to the committee, and then pass the negotiations off to procurement  22:44 - Why process beats individual skill in large complex transactions  24:31 - The training you do when you purchase the Velo software  26:23 - How the Velo service works a deal from the minute the clients engage them  Key Takeaways:  “The way to think about it [petrochemical pricing] is its value over cost. So, it's easy to sell, it's cost-plus pricing. But really that base price, especially the base price, at the beginning of the contract period, is where value pricing manifests itself in these kinds of deals.” - Brian Sharp  “One of the things that we do in Velo is, we deliver an outcome that is driven by negotiation readiness as a process and part of that process is telling our clients, and in many cases, pulling our clients executives out of the foxhole, we're getting them off the front line.” - Brian Sharp  “Many companies have their best relationship managers, not their best negotiators. Because they're managing three- and four-year relationship cycles against the contract.” - Brian Sharp  “In large complex transactions, process beats individual skill, and it's not even close. There are several irrefutable fact basis. And what does that say? It says preparation, and structured process to get ready. The negotiator that's better prepared is going to win.”  - Brian Sharp  “Our Velo service is, from the first minute our client engages us we're working a deal.

Many business owners face significant challenges when it comes to buying or selling a home; because your income comes from your own business, the bank creates serious hurdles to qualifying for a mortgage. And selling a home through a bank comes with its own headaches and costs that can eat into your profits. What can you do? Brian O’Neill is an entrepreneur who specializes in the real estate “terms” niche, circumventing the banks entirely. Brian O’Neill was born in New York and moved to Florida at age 5 and spent most of his life there. He attended Florida State University and then at the age of 30 he moved to Chicago. Brian has been there for 17 years now and has a wonderful wife, Katie, who he has been married to for 10 years. They have a 9 year old son named Will. They love spending time together and taking family vacations, just the 3 of them. In his spare time, Brian likes to play golf, read, and play sports with his son. What you’ll learn about in this episode: Why buying a house as a business owner can be difficult even if you have excellent credit, and why “terms” deals are a great alternative to a bank mortgage loan How Brian got involved in real estate investing in an effort to be able to spend more time with his family Why Brian fell into the habit of talking himself out of starting his business, and how he finally overcame his own limiting beliefs Why having the right mentor and a supportive “inner circle” of connections has been instrumental in Brian’s success as an entrepreneur Why feeling stuck is often due to not realizing all the options you have available, and what to do if you have little equity or even if you’re upside down in your current home What advantages business owners can get from buying or selling a home through “terms” rather than through a traditional bank mortgage How selling a home on terms works, and why it can create monthly income without having to deal with the hassles and headaches of being a landlord What kind of deal structure options are available for buying or selling on terms, and what happens if a buyer is unable to buy the home by the end of the terms period How terms deals can serve as a great option for homeowners who are significantly behind on their property taxes and at risk of forfeiting their home How Brian works to educate buyers and sellers on a different perspective and on other problem-solving options they may not have known about Resources: Phone: (331) 803-8268 Email: brian@BKWPropertySolutions.com Website: www.BKWPropertySolutions.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/bkwpropertysolutions/ Additional Resources: Free Executive Leadership Summary report from Predictive ROI: https://predictiveroi.com/research Sell With Authority by Drew McLellan and Stephen Woessner: https://amzn.to/39y7x13 Predictive ROI Free Resource Library: https://predictiveroi.com/resources/ Stephen Woessner’s LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/stephenwoessner/

Open description for time stamps. I've hired a number of scholars to review Brian Simmons' seriously flawed Bible version. This is my "Passion Project". Today's video features Dr. Craig Blomberg and his thoughts after reviewing the book of 1 Corinthians in The Passion Translation. Scroll down for links to Dr. Blomberg's paper. This same link will have ALL the reviews and papers as they are published. You should see a total of 5 uploaded by the beginning of January. After that I will need to wait a while for more scholars to finish their papers and do interviews. I hope to have it all done in the next few months. What's was my goal with this? I want the people of Christ to know the truth about this "translation" so that they can love what God has said without Brian Simmons altering it in unjustified ways. However, in the course of researching for this project I've uncovered some other very concerning things about Brian Simmons' teachings including false prophecy and various extreme claims regarding his own spiritual experiences. I'll be sharing some of this in future videos as well since I have realized that he is not just styling himself as a Bible translator but as an inspired Bible interpreter who is going to release a last days transformation in the people of God so that "everything that can be said about Jesus can be said about you". Yeah, it's weird. LINK to all interviews AND papers as they are uploaded. https://biblethinker.org/index.php/the-passion-translation Dr. Blomberg’s book – Can We Trust The Bible? https://www.amazon.com/Can-Still-Believe-Bible-Contemporary/dp/1587433214 For even MORE content on TPT here is a playlist of my own research into this translation. I think it’s even worse than many of the scholars have said, but that’s not because of a failure on their part. They restricted themselves to reviewing the translation text of a single book each, and only glancing at the footnotes, whereas I looked at the work as a whole and found various other issues of concern including misleading statements from Brian about his own experience as a translator for the Paya Kuna Bible, his degree of education and even stunningly false prophecies he has given. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHvXha4rjCj1Po0WLQc_jGGW My website https://BibleThinker.org *These timestamps will work after the video has premiered. 0:00 Intro 0:17 Why this video is important: Brian Simmons wild claims. 1:55 What my Passion Project is. 2:35 Who is Dr. Blomberg and why is he reviewing TPT? 4:52 Dr. Blomberg's attitude toward paraphrases. 6:41 Dr. Blomberg is not driven by bias against TPT but by credible concerns. 7:51 Is TPT misleading people when it calls itself a "translation"? 9:27 A great example of why TPT isn't a translation. 10:07 The "glaring, recurring error" in TPT's footnotes (the "Aramaic"). 12:38 This is REALLY bad. Brian Simmons is deceiving people about what "all the scholars" think. 17:37 Simmons' knowingly misuses Mike Bird's scholarship even after Dr. Bird rebuked the misuse. 19:42 Brian Simmons claims that his FOOTNOTES in TPT are the result of God's inspiration. 23:50 Why we should reject Simmons' claims. 24:53 Why the "lack of italics" in TPT is deceiving people. 27:29 1 Cor 1 vv. 11-12 that show TPT is inconsistent with italics. 30:38 How Simmons messes up the "gender role" passage in 1 Corinthians. 35:07 Simmons has an axe to grind on the topic of women which he seems to be wrongly forcing into his translation of the Bible. 38:48 The one place where Simmons translation seems complementarian. 43:26 What attracts people to The Passion Translation? 45:03 Examples of Simmons adding "passion" to the Bible where he shouldn't. 46:08 TPT is named after and angel that Brian saw, according to Brian Simmons. 46:38 How Brian represents TPT as if it's a quality work without bias. 47:42 But Brian sometimes admits his translation is very much a sectarian work. 52:03 Simmons "reverses Paul's meaning" in 1 Cor 10 v. 13. 56:05 TPT perpetuates a "long standing mistranslation" in 1 Cor 11. 1:01:11 Dr. Blomberg thinks TPT can cause a doctrinal problem with the Trinity. 1:04:11 An example of hyper-charismatic alterations in TPT. 1:10:35 TPT once again mishandles a passage related to slaves. 1:13:39 Quick recap of other places TPT does this. 1:14:32 1 Cor 7 v. 36 is "particularly confused." 1:17:18 The best parts of TPT are also the worst parts. 1:18:11 1 Cor 13 shows us TPT's style. 1:21:21 Don't use TPT as a serious Bible. 1:22:13 Dr. Blomberg responds to Bill Johnson's quote. 1:23:33 TPT distorts the meaning of the Bible? 1:24:19 Misleading claims from TPT web site. 1:25:23 Should TPT be in apps and sites? 1:27:21 Did Brian really get secrets from God? 1:29:15 Brian's abuse of homonyms in the name of God. 1:33:29 Dr. Blomberg's advice to someone who loves TPT. 1:34:34 A Surgeon General's warning. 1:36:02 Can We Still Believe The Bible? 1:37:40 Last things. 1:39:56 "Cameo" from Brian.

Dr. Brian Portnoy and Josh Brown’s book How I Invest My Money, captures the stories and investment strategies of 25 top financial advisors. The book highlights that while there are established dogmas that tell you how and why you ought to invest, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ way to invest. Today we speak with Brian and Josh about the key insights that we can derive from their work. We open our conversation by exploring how they conceived and developed their book before talking about why fully rational investing is a myth. After diving into how we allocate money to solve our unique needs, Brian and Josh share how people use their portfolios to express themselves. We then discuss common investing themes in the book, including how most advisors have an aversion to debt, and how their experiences have guided their strategies and outlooks. From why we should place more value on social and human capital, we look into why financial planning has a profound impact on how you manage your investments. We touch on direct indexing, the relationship between money and happiness, and the unexpected yet incredible perspectives that came from giving advisors a license to tell their stories. Near the end of the episode, Brian and Josh reflect on how their book might have changed their views and how their work fits into their visions for the financial industry. Tune in to hear more on the usually secretive topic of how financial advisors invest their money.   Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Brian Portnoy and Josh Brown, authors of How I Invest My Money.
