You're booked solid. All the creative projects you wanted. All the clients saying yes. Your portfolio is overflowing. But you're exhausted. Overworked. The money isn't matching the hustle. And you're wondering if building a bigger creative business means becoming a manager of people you don't want to manage. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Laura Higgins, who went from struggling with pricing and positioning to building a multi-seven-figure creative business. More importantly, she did it without losing the freedom, fun, or creativity that makes the work worth doing. Here's what most creatives don't realize: being good at your craft isn't enough. A photographer can take stunning photos. A designer can create beautiful work. An agency owner can deliver incredible results. But when it comes to pricing, selling, marketing, and building systems? Most creatives freeze. We talk about how Laura got the "niche slap" early on, shifted her entire positioning, and built a tiered system that serves creatives at every stage-from beginners to six-figure earners making $150K/month. What you'll learn: → Get the niche slap - Why serving everyone means helping no one (and how narrowing down changes everything) → Solve for what they don't want - Why negative positioning attracts better clients than positive promises → Build a tiered approach - How to serve different avatars at different revenue stages with different offers → Promise identity, not income - Why shifting from "make $30K/month" to "become this version of yourself" keeps clients longer → The creative business problem - Why photographers, designers, and agencies stay booked but broke → How to position yourself as the expert in the creative space → The benchmark that works (and why it matters for your pricing) Real insights from the episode: Laura's journey from starting a creative business at 23 with no idea how to sell The moment Colin told her "you're serving too many people" (the niche slap) How she started with a $9 product (Fully Booked) to filter for the right people Why her original promise of "$5K to $30K/month" had people leaving when they hit $30K How shifting to a $10K/month benchmark changed her entire business The difference between marketing to income vs identity Why some clients want $30K/month with 20 hours of work, others want $150K/month with a small team How creatives lose their creativity when they scale (and how to prevent it) The role of messaging when different people have different goals Why "what they don't want" matters more than "what they do want" Connect with Laura on Instagram @laurahiggins (it's aura, not laura, because she's Australian). DM her, tell her you listened to The Expert Edge. She's crushing it in the creative space and if you're a photographer, designer, web designer, or agency owner looking to scale without losing your mind, check out her work.

What happens when the life you're living finally brings you to the end of yourself? For DJ Paden it took alcohol, DUIs, prison, close calls with death, and hitting rock bottom before he finally cried out to Jesus.On this episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, DJ shares how Christ changed his life, gave him the strength to get sober, and gave him a purpose bigger than himself.But getting sober didn't mean life got easier. DJ would later lose two of his brothers to addiction just 10 weeks apart. Through that pain, he never lost hope in Christ. He kept his faith, stayed sober, and kept moving forward.Today, DJ is pouring back into people who are fighting the same battles he once fought. He opened a gym in Huntington Beach, Kingdom Fit, that's about more than building a stronger body it's about building a stronger spirit, finding purpose, and pointing people to Christ.From addiction and rock bottom to faith, purpose, and helping others find their way.#StreetGospelPodcast #JesusChrist #JesusSaves #Testimony #Sobriety #Redemption #Faith #MensMinistry #AddictionRecovery #HopeInChrist
I've run close to a thousand workshop days over 17 years. And if there's one thing I know: it doesn't take thousands of people to change your business. Ten people in a room? Game changing. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the five execution ideas that separate successful in-person workshops from expensive flops. This is Part 2 of the in-person workshop formula—the strategy was Part 1, this is how to actually run them. Get these five ideas right and people walk out with finished products, deeper connections, and they'll be begging to buy your next offer. Get them wrong and you'll have an expensive gathering with no results. What you'll learn: → Go from warm to cold in your marketing - Why starting with your warmest audience gets butts in seats → Focus on finishing - Why people want to leave with a finished product, not notes → Set up expectations with pre-framing - How 20-30 minutes of framing changes the entire engagement level → Fill out boxes to break down complexity - How to turn complex concepts into simple fillable templates people actually complete → Design the room for discussion - Why roundtables convert better than U-shapes or classroom setups → The psychology of immersion - Why two days in a room changes more than months of online content → How to structure activities that actually stick - Breaking the complex into simple, fillable boxes → Why AI-generated content overwhelms people (and how to fix it) → The role of logistics in transformation - How room setup determines engagement level Real insights from the episode: Why I don't try to fill rooms with cold traffic (warm is where the magic happens) The Bonjoro approach to personal outreach (and why it works) How to design activities with five fillable boxes (story mapping example) The pre-framing that makes everyone feel like friends immediately Why finish-focused workshops convert better than content-dump workshops The mini U-shaped roundtable setup that beats all other configurations How to handle people facing backward in roundtables (without awkwardness) Why one big influencer was SMSing old clients to fill their event The immersion principle from Anthony Robbins (and why it works) How to set expectations so people show up ready to engage The difference between knowledge and knowing (and why it matters) Join us at Sell From Stage Live in-person event September 18th and 19th in Huntington Beach, California Register here: https://training.colinboyd.co/ssa-live-event Interested in Elite?

Kimo Leopoldo joins the MMA History Podcast to recount the raw early days of the sport, from his Huntington Beach roots and Christian transformation to the unforgettable moment he carried a full-sized cross into the Octagon and pushed Royce Gracie harder than almost anyone at UFC 3. The legendary fighter breaks down the chaotic tournament draw, the street-fight intensity of that classic bout, his contentious partnership with Joe Son, the fallout that followed, and the cascade of high-stakes battles that followed across K-1, Pride, and the UFC.Kimo opens up about training with Matt Hume and Joe Moreira, the Sakuraba and Takayama wars in Japan, the brutal nine-minute war with Paul Varelans, the Huntington Beach showdown with Tank Abbott, and the controversial Bob Sapp kickboxing match in Las Vegas.0:00 start0:28 MMA History Podcast intro 1:01 Joey Venti's guest introductions1:12 interview start 1:45 attending elementary with John Lewis 3:12 introduction to combat sports 3:42 getting introduced to Christ by Joe Son 5:10 High School wrestling career 5:51 moving to California 6:12 bouncing at Club Rubber 7:54 watching UFC 19:10 Joe Son pushing UFC debut for Kimo Leopoldo 9:47 Joe Son challenging Royce Gracie 10:15 Paul Herrera street fight with Joe Son10:49 learning Jiu Jitsu from Randy Ziegler12:24 fight with Gracie's in Hotel lobby (rumor) 13:09 UFC 3 name drawing for tournament15:43 UFC 3 promo “fighting for Christ”16:48 carrying cross on back during walkout 18:17 unaware of Joe Sons street activities19:45 Joe Sons acting career 20:12 training prior to UFC debut 21:25 dealings with Bob Meyrowitz and Art Davie 21:49 feelings before fighting Royce Gracie23:49 Kimo Leopoldo vs Royce Gracie 27:06 Royce Gracie towel throw 29:00 interactions with the Gracie's after fight 29:45 reason for alternates to have fights30:47 apology letter to the Gracie's (rumor) 32:20 wore out from walking out with heavy cross 34:00 negotiations to fight in Japan34:32 Kimo Leopoldo vs Pat Smith 36:36 making $500 to fight Royce Gracie 38:54 training at J Sect 39:32 Joe Son vs Keith Hackney 41:55 Kimo Leopoldo vs Masaaki Satake43:34 connecting with Matt Hume 43:53 incorrectly listed rematch with Pat Smith44:44 training with Carl Franks 45:12 training partners at AMC46:39 issues with Allan Goes47:58 Royce Gracie blue belt narrative51:29 parting ways with Joe Son 52:28 managed by father Dennis Leopoldo 53:36 negotiations for UFC 854:40 conflict backstage at UFC 856:11 Tank Abbotts reputation on the streets56:47 bouncer Richard Alvarez 58:27 John Lober 59:54 Eddie Ruiz 1:00:37 Tiki Ghosn1:01:03 early involvement training Tito Ortiz (rumor)1:01:45 crew members 1:02:26 fallout with Matt Hume after Ken shamrock fight 1:05:18 training with Joe Moreira1:07:34 releasing instructional with Joe Moreira 1:09:09 Kimo Leopoldo vs Kazushi Sakuraba1:13:59 Kimo Leopoldo vs Yoshihiro Takayama1:16:44 Kimo Leopoldo vs Bam Bam Bigelow1:20:01 dealings with the Yakuza 1:22:10 interactions with Gerard Gordeau1:23:29 Kimo Leopoldo vs Paul Varelans1:29:18 NHB era not getting the respect 1:29:53 Kimo Leopoldo vs Brian Johnston 1:31:30 negotiations with Pride FC1:32:16 Kimo Leopoldo vs Dan Severn1:34:41 Rickson Gracie vs Nobuhiko Takada1:35:29 falling out with the UFC after Pride Debut 1:36:44 Kimo Leopoldo vs Tsuyoshi Kosaka1:37:59 cancelled bout with Gary Goodridge 1:38:57 no showing event 1:40:05 Joe Son vs Yusuke Imamura 1:41:37 current feelings about Joe Son 1:45:08 Kimo Leopoldo trading cards 1:46:45 Raul Ries1:47:02 Joe Son vs Joe Moreira 1:48:34 Kimo Leopoldo vs Tim Lajcik1:49:32 cancelled bout with Bas Rutten1:51:47 running into Tank Abbott at a bar 1:54:08 Kimo Leopoldo vs Tank Abbott1:57:20 Kimo Leopoldo vs Bob Sapp2:05:54 conversations after Bob Sapp fight2:07:30 interview wrap up 2:09:20 outro/ closing thoughts
Change is inevitable, but apparently at some orgs, explaining it to people is optional! In this episode, I'm joined by Kaity Jacobsen (Director, Talent Engagement at Xactly) to talk about why leaders keep obsessing over all these sexy strategies while treating change management like HR's annoying little side quest. We get into AI agents, broken trust, typical corporate chaos, and why no robot is ever going to save you from having an actual convo with your employees about any of this stuff. Tragic, I know! With Shapes, people management looks completely different. Think AI agents handling the routine, a secure HR core, and the ability to build any people tool your org needs, just by describing it in plain english in their built in Shapes Vibe studio.

In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Elizabeth Beisel and Todd Anderson, Katie Hoff's husband, fill in a week before she gives birth, sitting down with Olympic medalist Katie Grimes ahead of the Pan Pacific Championships. She's coming off a national title in the 1500 free, but at Pan Pacs she's skipping that race for the 10K open water, an event she hasn't swum in two years and chose to bring back herself. So why give up your best event for one that takes almost two hours and offers no second chance?Katie explains the swap: a strong stretch of endurance training made this the year to add the 10K back on, even with a tight turnaround into the 400 IM just 36 hours later. Her taper barely changes, since her UVA coaches know she doesn't need much of one. There's no cool down after a 10K, so she refuels, sleeps, and flushes it out with an easy swim that afternoon. Todd asks how that back to back double gets managed, and Katie walks through the turnaround.Along the way, the conversation goes places most swim interviews don't: designing her own Jolyn swimsuit line and watching friends raid the sample box in her room, the wildlife she's actually spotted swimming open water, turtles and snakes, no sharks thankfully, and an off day hunting for good shopping in Huntington Beach. She admits her pre race mindset for a two hour open water swim is the opposite of an 800: instead of psyching herself up, she's trying to find her Zen before her mind starts wandering.Underneath the race talk is a real shift in how Katie relates to her own training. She used to answer every question about her workload with I don't care, and walks through learning to actually ask her coach for more, an extra practice, an extra set, once she trusted what her body needed. She frames it as advice for younger swimmers too: that relationship has to stay open, because what works for you changes once you get to college. It's a lesson that lands differently coming from Elizabeth, who's lived that same transition herself.Whether you're a swimmer trying to figure out how to actually talk to your coach or someone who's never done a lap but is curious what it takes to swim for two hours straight, this episode delivers.

Gymreapers Wodapalooza SoCal brings 30,000 people and 1,500 athletes to the Huntington Beach Pier this September and Matt Banwart has a front-row seat to all of it.He's owned Red Wolf CrossFit on Beach Boulevard since 2012, and he breaks down what the festival actually looks like from the sand, plus why the gym everyone assumes is for hardcore competitors is mostly busy parents squeezing in an hour before work.What you'll learn: - What the Gymreapers Wodapalooza SoCal festival is, why HB beat out every other SoCal beach town for it, and what spectators can actually watch on the sand September 25–27 - How "The Gauntlet" lets non-competitors jump in for a one-hour taste of the competition floor - Why Matt says 95% of CrossFitters look nothing like what Instagram shows you - The 42-day mark: what Red Wolf's own client data shows about when results start showing up - Why Red Wolf runs body composition scans before writing anyone a program - The Red Wolf love story involving the Chamber of Commerce and a proposal on the gym floor
Online events tend to convert weak. Connection feels distant. People disappear after the training. Then you run an in-person workshop. Same content. Same you. And something magic happens. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the in-person workshop formula that separates six-figure coaches from seven-figure coaches. This is Part 1 of a deep dive into the most powerful tool for scaling your business in 2026. One of my Elite clients went from $15K-$20K a month to $90K a month. After Sell from Stage Live, she told me "I never would have created this without your program." That conversation wouldn't have meant the same in a Zoom call. Here's what most people don't realize: in an AI world where information is everywhere, real human connection is becoming increasingly rare and increasingly valuable. In-person workshops create that connection. They build community. They increase enrollment. They create stickiness so clients stay longer. What you'll learn: → The 5 big reasons in-person events work (and why online can't compete) → Results - Information becomes implementation when people are in the room → Ascension - The magnetic pull of being physically present with the leader → Proof - Real footage of you on stage becomes your best marketing asset in an AI world → Community - Peer bonds that can't be created online → Stickiness - How in-person events keep clients longer and more committed → The three types of workshops - Implementation events, signature live events, intimate intensives Real insights from the episode: Why I spent $50K at a free event (the power of in-person) The client transformation story: $15K to $90K through community and connection How in-person creates proof through real footage (critical in the AI age) Why online community can't replace physical proximity The three event types explained (and which one to run first) Why cutoff dates and early-bird bonuses drive registration The follow-up sequence that keeps momentum after the event Join us at Sell From Stage Live in-person event September 18th and 19th in Huntington Beach, California Register here: https://training.colinboyd.co/ssa-live-event Interested in Elite?

Hank Crawford of Blue Collar Robotics and Paul Harker, retired CCO of Woolworths Group, on grocery store robotics a retailer can deploy today.There are 280,000 people walking the aisles of US grocery stores right now picking somebody else's order, and grocers cannot hire fast enough to keep up with the growth. That number comes from Hank Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Collar Robotics, and it frames the whole conversation. Online grocery keeps growing. Labor keeps getting harder to find. And the two big swings the industry took at eGrocery fulfillment, the centralized fulfillment center and the micro fulfillment center, both left grocers with high CapEx, duplicated inventory, and people still picking most of the order. Hank is joined by Paul Harker, retired Chief Commercial Officer of Woolworths Group, Australia's largest retailer, who joined Blue Collar Robotics as a strategic advisor. Together with Ricardo Belmar and Casey Golden they work through the economics of eGrocery fulfillment from the operator's side of the table: why the warehouse answer collapsed, what grocery store robotics has been getting wrong, and why a purpose-built robot with a remote operator behind it can drop into a supermarket that already exists. The mechanism is the interesting part. Blue Collar Robotics sells the picking as a service. A grocer pays a cost per pick, which moves the spend from CapEx into OpEx. The robot handles packaged center-aisle goods using vacuum suction, which is roughly 65% of a typical order, and store associates get redeployed to fresh, where care actually shows up in the customer's bag. Blue Collar reports eGrocery fulfillment cost reductions of as much as 50%. This is Season 6, Episode 10.In This Episode, You'll Learn• Why centralized fulfillment centers failed for grocery on four separate counts: volume density, distance from the customer, fresh, and CapEx• What Paul Harker says micro fulfillment centers still cannot solve, including duplicated inventory and picking "the uglies"• Why over 80% of a grocer's business is still the in-store customer, and how eGrocery growth quietly degrades that experience• The case for a human behind every robot, and why it is now standard practice for anything operating in an unstructured environment• What robot etiquette means in a store aisle, and what China's hotel delivery robots taught Hank about how not to do it• How the grocery store robotics buying conversation changes when the customer has no robotics team of its own• Why grocery store robotics took this long to find product-market fit in a supermarket, and what changed• Why the labor argument runs backwards here: there is no line of people waiting for picking jobs• How remote operation opens picking work to people who could never physically do it, and opens a 24 hour picking clock for the store• What Hank says is actually slowing adoption, and it is not the technologySupport our sponsorsThis Episode is Brought to You By RetailClub.Retail and brand leaders can attend RetailClub AI Festival completely budget-free, plus get $1,750 toward travel and hotel.

AI conversations are everywhere right now, but confidence and competence aren't actually moving together, and that gap should worry you more than it does. I'm joined by Theresa Fesinstine, founder of PeoplePower.ai and creator of the AI Fluency Compass, an assessment that over 850 HR leaders have now taken. Turns out about 40% of people who take it present way more confidently than they actually perform. Not great! We get into why HR keeps telling itself it's "not technical enough," the real difference between confidence that's earned and confidence that just performs well in a meeting, and why checking your AI tool settings might be the single most underrated move you can make right now. We also cover agentic AI risk, the pressure to keep up so you don't get left behind, and what it actually looks like to lead your org through this instead of just reacting to it. If you've ever nodded along in a meeting about AI while quietly having no idea what anyone's talking about, this one's for you With Shapes, people management looks completely different. Think AI agents handling the routine, a secure HR core, and the ability to build any people tool your org needs, just by describing it in plain english in their built in Shapes Vibe studio.

Our guest this week is an American-Australian who grew up right here in Huntington Beach, born into one of Surfing's most iconic families. As the son of the first-ever World Surfing Champion, Peter "PT" Townend, he was surrounded by the sport, culture, and industry from day one. But instead of simply following in his father's footsteps, he carved out his own impressive path, working in surf media and holding sales and leadership roles with Ocean & Earth, Rhythm, Surfline, and Boardriders, while also co-founding the popular Vacancy Coffee Bar. Taking advantage of his dual citizenship, he later moved back to Australia, earned his commercial pilot's license, and now flies professionally. We're stoked to hear his incredible journey. Please welcome to the show, Mr. Jye Townend!

We Believe: Membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: A Christian Conversation by Phillip M Graehl Phillipmgraehlbooks.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPGL17P3 If Jesus Christ is to all people our Good Shepherd and his gospel is the good news, why is there so much contentious debate in the world over all this goodness? Why is there such derision cast between religious bodies and their adherents toward others of differing beliefs? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its members have been persecuted since the founding of the Church, and its members often called non-Christian. Is this really true? There are many truths about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that invite discussion. There are also many fallacies and misunderstandings regarding the Church that deserve exposure and explanation. Herein is described to the traditional Christian world and all others who will inquire some history as well as doctrines and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, given in an attempt to help bridge a divide that need not exist between disciples of Jesus Christ. “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” About the author I am a “mid-boomer” having been born in 1955, in Provo, Utah. The first few years of my life were spent in Fort Collins, Colorado where my father attended veterinary school, alternating with summers in Provo which was my father's home town. Over a two year period I lived in Bend, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; and then Glendale, California. Grades K – 3 were in Glendale, and then we moved to Huntington Beach, California. While in Huntington Beach I enjoyed bodysurfing and surfing as well as outdoor sports in general including backpacking and skiing. I also played high school football, basketball, and baseball. I attended college at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and graduated with a bachelor's of science degree in Geology. One summer in college I worked on the North Slope of Alaska for a geophysical company. The summer after college graduation I worked in Uranium exploration in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington. I attended medical school for two years at the University of Utah and completed medical school at the University of California, Irvine. My post graduate training was in orthopedic surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Prior to completing my training in San Antonio I met and married my wife of the last forty years. My wife is also a physician. Fellowship training in lower extremity total joint replacement and sports medicine occurred in San Antonio, Texas and then Sydney, Australia. My first orthopedic practice was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Then after two years I immigrated to Texas where I practiced for another thirty years in the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. I continue to enjoy outdoor sports, fishing, and I am an admirer of Western art of the United States. After two total hip replacements I have abandoned skiing, but I continue to enjoy hiking in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. I have also found that I enjoy writing. Following my retirement I enrolled at the University of Texas at Dallas and began with a creative writing class. Thereafter, the Covid pandemic caused an acute cessation of my post-post-graduate education.

What happens when trauma therapy stalls, even when you're doing everything right? In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager pulls back the curtain on how he works with clients, and why pairing two respected approaches, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems), helps people heal faster than either one alone.Todd starts with the basics of IFS, the idea that we're all made up of different parts. Some of those parts are wounded, carrying old pain from feeling unsafe, inadequate, unlovable, or abandoned as a child. Other parts are protective, working overtime to make sure we never feel that pain again. He shares a relatable example of how someone who was abandoned might keep choosing partners who feel emotionally safe but not very stimulating, because a protective part refuses to risk abandonment again.Then he explains where EMDR fits in. EMDR helps the brain reprocess a stuck traumatic memory so the past can stay in the past instead of hijacking your reactions in the present. It works beautifully on its own, Todd says, until it doesn't. Sometimes clients go blank, dissociate, or hit a wall. That's not failure. That's a protective part saying the system isn't ready yet.This is where the combination matters. Todd describes how IFS builds the relationship first, helping you meet the protective part, understand what it's guarding, and earn its trust, so EMDR can then release what the wounded part, or exile, has been carrying. He walks through a real-world scenario from his practice with infidelity recovery, where a betrayed partner can't move past the discovery of the affair because a part of them believes letting go would mean letting their partner off the hook or treating themselves like the betrayal didn't matter.You'll hear how befriending that protective part, rather than fighting it, opens the door to processing the deeper wound, whether it's the betrayal itself or earlier abandonment it stirred up. As Todd puts it, one approach builds the relationship, the other releases the burden, and together they can help parts that have carried the same wound for decades finally put it down.If you've tried therapy and felt stuck, or you're working through trust after infidelity and wondering why the pain won't loosen its grip, this episode gives you a clear, compassionate picture of what healing can actually look like.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's carrying something heavy, and follow the show for more honest conversations about love, healing, and relationships.

The Longevity World Cup: Competing to Stay Young Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:Over 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Founder Adam: Longevity World CupLongevityWorldCup.comInstagram: @longevityworldcupPodcast Summary: Brad Williams Interviews Adam, Developer of the Longevity World CupIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams sits down with Adam, the developer of the Longevity World Cup, to explore the emerging world of longevity, biological aging, and the idea of turning health optimization into a competitive sport.Adam explains how his journey into longevity began after building and exiting a successful software company. Inspired by the idea that longevity could be the next major technological revolution, he began looking into the field and quickly realized there was a major problem: scientists still don't have an easy way to determine whether an anti-aging intervention is actually working without waiting decades to see whether people live longer.That problem led Adam to a unique idea—treat longevity like a sport. The concept behind the Longevity World Cup is to create a competitive environment where people track their biological age and health markers, experiment with different interventions, and compete to improve their results. Adam believes that the people who perform best in this competition could become some of the earliest adopters of new longevity technologies, treatments, and strategies that actually work.A major part of the conversation focuses on biological aging clocks and how they attempt to estimate a person's biological age based on health data. Brad discusses his experience with tools such as WHOOP and the growing popularity of biological-age measurements, while Adam explains the limitations of current approaches. He argues that simply determining how old someone "looks" based on their biomarkers isn't necessarily the same as measuring how healthy or resilient they actually are. Ideally, biological aging clocks should be connected to meaningful outcomes such as health, performance, and ultimately mortality.Adam explains that this is one of the biggest challenges facing longevity research. Researchers need better biological aging clocks so they can determine whether an intervention is working without having to wait for people to die decades later. If scientists can develop reliable ways to measure biological aging, it could dramatically accelerate the pace of longevity research.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzVDisclaimer: The information provided on this podcast, including interviews and recommendations, is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Kelly Slater, surf etiquette, women in surfing, Blue Crush, Nathan Florence, Jamie O'Brien, Dane Reynolds, the US Open of Surfing, surf culture, surf controversy, and the future of professional surfing all collide in this episode of Pinch My Salt with Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan.We break down the viral “paddle harder” surfing controversy and Kelly Slater's response, debate whether surf lineups care more about gender or skill level, and talk surf etiquette, beginner surfers, kook levels, women's surfing, and what actually earns respect in the water. Then Sterling goes deep on Blue Crush, Kate Bosworth, the movie's surf stunt doubles, Hawaii, Sunset Beach, and why Blue Crush may have done more to push surfing into mainstream culture than pro surfers ever realized.Bid on the Signed photo!!!!! https://ebay.io/m/GuSMwaFrom there, we get into Nathan Florence, John John Florence, Jamie O'Brien, Dane Reynolds, Andy Irons, YouTube surfing, surf vlogs, surf media, old-school surf movies, Taylor Steele, Surf Madness, and how social media changed what it means to be a famous surfer. Plus: New Smyrna Beach sharks, surfing while pregnant, Tony Hawk, Herbie Fletcher, foiling, Huntington Beach, the US Open of Surfing, big-wave surfing, and the eternal question: how core is too core?Sterling also tells the story of jumping from traditional surf media into the early internet era, his experience with Taylor Steele and Intersection, and why giving away a surf movie for free helped change the old surf-video model. We debate whether surfers like Nathan Florence and Jamie O'Brien have become more recognizable to the mainstream than traditional professional surfers — and whether YouTube, podcasts, vlogs, Instagram and social media are now more important than contests and surf magazines.Also in this episode: relationship and marriage comedy, Sterling's completely scientific method for “figuring women out,” controlled burns, surfing while pregnant, Brody Jenner, New Smyrna shark encounters, Mason Ho, Herbie Fletcher, kook levels, surf fashion, soft tops, the “core surfer” spectrum, selling out without losing your soul, and whether the US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach is somehow harder to watch than foil boarding.Pinch My Salt is a surfing and comedy podcast hosted by professional surfer Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan, covering surf culture, professional surfing, surf news, surf history, surf industry stories, WSL, surf personalities, internet culture, relationships, comedy and everything weird happening in and around surfing.COMMENT BELOW: Is surfing about gender — or is it really just about skill and kook level?Subscribe for new episodes of Pinch My Salt.#Surfing #KellySlater #PinchMySalt

I swear every company says culture matters... right up until someone has to make an actual decision. The reason decisions don't get made quickly enough is because of the whole "culture is everyone's job" mentality, and I think it's time for a little more nuance! Dani Herrera and I get into why culture isn't your values page or your CEO's favorite buzzword, but instead, the behaviors your policies reward every single day. We also unpack why HR has way more influence than we give ourselves credit for, why "best practices" is a cringey concept, and why AI is about to amplify every good (and bad) decision we've already made. --- With Shapes, people management looks completely different.

Why does your child's meltdown sometimes bring out a version of you that sounds exactly like your own parent?Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager breaks down self-led parenting, a concept rooted in Internal Family Systems, and why so many parents end up reacting instead of responding when a child pushes their buttons. Todd separates the wounded, protective parts of us — the manager, who worries about looking good and getting it right, and the firefighter, who explodes or shuts down — from the calm, confident "self" that can actually hold a boundary without losing warmth.He shares two stories to make the idea concrete. The first is personal: watching his three-year-old daughter get turned away by other kids on her first day of preschool, and realizing his own strong reaction as a parent had more to do with his own childhood than with what was actually happening to her. The second involves a client whose fear around her own childhood health struggles gets triggered every time her son won't listen about food, and how naming that pattern is helping her respond to him differently.Todd's point isn't that parents need to be calm all the time or get it perfect. Self-led parenting means noticing when a part of you has taken over the moment, and coming back to yourself before you respond. That shift is what lets you set a limit without making your child feel small, and let them sit with a hard feeling without needing to fix it or shut it down right away.If you've ever said something to your kid that you swore you'd never say — and heard your own parent's voice come out of your mouth — this episode gives you a way to understand what's actually happening in that moment, and a starting point for handling it differently next time.Follow Todd Creager for more conversations on relationships, parenting, and healing the younger parts of ourselves, because raising kids well often starts with parenting the parts of us they trigger.

Dr. Fauci's preemptive pardon shields him from federal charges – but states can still launch their own investigations. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on July 29, declining to answer Sen. Rand Paul's questions about COVID-19, gain of function research, and Fauci's diary entries about the pandemic's origins. Within hours of Fauci's (lack of) testimony, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a state investigation – and soon more states may launch investigations of their own. Michael Gates, candidate for California Attorney General, joins to discuss whether a state AG could pursue Fauci, and the medical watchdog organization calling on the American Medical Association to “explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors.” Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel of The Dossier argues Deborah Birx should face the same committees as Dr. Fauci, since she holds no pardon. Townhall News Editor Jeff Charles weighs in on Gavin Newsom's resurfaced affair and how it could affect the election, and Zohran Mamdani publishing NYC property-owner data tied to a proposed pied-a-terre tax. Jordan Schachtel is an investigative journalist and the publisher of The Dossier, covering institutional accountability and public health policy.

Our guests this week are one of Huntington Beach's hottest rising reggae bands, and they've been making serious noise on the local music scene over the last few years. Drawing inspiration from reggae legends while blending in influences from across the musical spectrum, their mission is simple, stay versatile, write killer music, and have a damn good time doing it.

I feel like every AI conversation somehow ends up in one of two places: either "AI is taking all our jobs!" or "Just use ChatGPT for everything!" Honestly... I hate both of those convos. So instead, I wanted to ask some much more interesting questions! Who's actually making the decisions about how AI gets used at work? Who decided AI should be ranking candidates, or helping determine headcount? And more importantly... should it be? I invited Aubrey Blanche to help me unpack all of it! We talked AI ethics, human-centered design, why productivity might be the worst goal for AI adoption, and somehow ended up on Harry Potter fanfiction and Google Maps conspiracy theories.

ACTS 3:13-26 - CHRIST WOULD SUFFER - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 3:13 "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.' 24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days. 25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.' 26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (7.13) Teen takeovers: Don’t do it, kids! And if you must, pick a spot where the cops aren’t vigilant — steer clear of Orange County strongholds like Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, because OC law enforcement will call in the cavalry at the first sign of trouble. Head to LA County or the San Fernando Valley instead, where we run wild, and who knows, Timmy might even show up to DJ! Timmy reminisces about his old “Mazda Ashtray” and the clever hack he used to get AAA to tow him to and from Hollywood Hills parties. Knott’s Berry Farm has already tipped off local OC cops about a planned teen takeover at the park. In other news, there were two separate home invasion attempts — one in Porter Ranch and another in Woodland Hills — proving that with the FIFA World Cup wrapping up, LA is happily returning to its regularly scheduled crime programming. And finally, one of Hollywood’s most iconic landmarks is in trouble: Legendary Television City, home to The Price Is Right, The Carol Burnett Show, and decades of TV history, could be headed for sale as owner Hackman Capital Partners struggles with over $350 million in debt amid the production slowdown. Timmy and Crozier are sad about it, but hey — Mayor Karen Bass is on the case, and she never screws anything up, right? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
