In this lighthearted yet deeply convicting episode of She Will Flourish, Rachel Earp breaks down the myth of the self-made woman and exposes why hyper-independence is actually a trap. Discover how isolating yourself blocks your creative flow, drains your spiritual stamina, and why trading the independent hustle for intentional sisterhood is the ultimate key to fulfilling your God-given calling.Let's have a quick, honest family meeting: How many overstuffed grocery bags are you currently trying to carry up the stairs by yourself simply because you refuse to ask for help?In this episode, host Rachel Earp tackles a sneaky little pattern that high-achieving Christian women, entrepreneurs, and ministry leaders wear like a badge of honor: hyper-independence. We dive into why our knee-jerk reaction is to reject support, how isolation disguises itself as strength, and the reality that "Independence Island" is an incredibly lonely place to build a vision.Using the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes, Rachel unpacks God's true blueprint for collaboration and community.

Man plejer at sige, at sport og politik ikke skal blandes sammen. Men i dag begynder det, mange allerede nu kalder det mest politiserede fodbold-VM - nogensinde.Det bliver et VM i Trumps USA - men også i Mexico og Canada. Og det bliver et VM, som allerede inden det i dag går i gang, har vist os de første af de skandaler, mange frygter vil blive mange flere.Politikens Søren Lissner er på vej over Atlanten. I de næste uger skal han se masser af fantastisk fodbold. Men han dykker også dybt ned i alt det, der sker rundt om mesterskabet. Og i hvordan ikke bare Trump, men også tidligere amerikanske præsidenter, har brugt sporten som politisk redskab. Spørgsmålet er dog, om Trump denne gang kan komme til at overskygge det, det hele handler om: nemlig fodbolden.

What if the real reason couples fight has nothing to do with communication… and everything to do with witness protection? Not government witness protection. Psychological witness protection.Meaning:Most people do not want intimacy nearly as much as they want controlled perception. That changes the entire conversation. Because now the relationship becomes the first environment where somebody can no longer fully manage how they are seen. Your partner eventually notices the insecurity beneath the confidence. The manipulation beneath the charm. The fear beneath the control. The performance beneath the spirituality. The exhaustion beneath the hyper-independence. And once somebody feels accurately seen, conflict becomes dangerous. Not because the argument hurts. Because exposure feels irreversible. Now look at modern dating through that lens. Suddenly emotional detachment becomes attractive because detached people reveal less. Hyper-independence becomes seductive because self-sufficiency minimizes psychological exposure. Strategic inconsistency creates intrigue because ambiguity prevents full emotional access. Narcissistic traits thrive because image control matters more than relational transparency. This means many relationships are not failing because people cannot communicate. They are failing because one or both people unconsciously experience being deeply known as a threat to survival. That is a radically different conversation. Especially when you realize social media intensified the problem. People now curate themselves professionally, spiritually, sexually, politically, aesthetically, emotionally. Entire identities function like public-relations campaigns. So the moment conflict reveals contradiction, immaturity, insecurity, jealousy, dependency, emotional need, or hypocrisy, the nervous system reacts as if reputation itself is under attack. Which means the average fight is no longer: “Who is right?” The average fight quietly becomes: “Can I survive your awareness of who I actually am?”

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, returning guest Megan Elcrat is back!About Megan Elcrat: Megan Elcrat is the founding principal of Present Company, a Baltimore-based architecture and design firm where she specializes in urban revitalization, adaptive reuse, and creative workspace design. She co-founded the innovative Co-Lab Baltimore co-working space in Old Goucher, which houses both an architecture firm and a design-focused bookstore. Her work is rooted in the belief that architecture is fundamentally about experience and place-making.We talk about her formative memories of her father's mathematics department office at Wichita State University—the chalkboards, terrazzo floors, and dark wood finishes that shaped her early understanding of how spaces create meaning. She discusses her hyper-local approach to architecture, working within walking distance of her office and building authentic relationships with neighbors, clients, and community partners like the Franciscan Center and Sophomore Coffee. She shares insights on adaptive reuse—the art of giving historic buildings new life while preserving their essence—and how her firm approaches projects by asking what experience people want to have in a space.Elcrat reveals details about her work on Station North's North Avenue Market, reconnecting the north and south halves of the building through arcades to create a multi-use cultural hub with storefronts, studios, and food and beverage spaces. She discusses co-owning the Laverne nightclub with Catherine Borg and Ami Dang as part of the Neon Eon complex, emphasizing cultural preservation—not just preserving facades, but preserving how spaces made people feel. She introduces the concept of dancing and physical movement as the purest form of joy and why bringing people together in person still matters.We also talk about her collaboration with artist collective Wickerham/Lomax on the Soft Gym installation at the Y-Not Lot as part of Inviting Light, the importance of avoiding design trends like "gentrification gray," the value of having fun in architecture, and why she believes authenticity and human connection are more important than expanding for expansion's sake in an increasingly digital world.Photo courtesy of subject.

If you've ever said "I don't know why I keep doing this to myself," this one is for you. Most ambitious, self-aware women aren't actually stuck — they're loyal. Loyal to a version of themselves that used to keep them safe, but no longer fits where they're trying to go. In this episode, I unpack the four identities I see women silently loyal to (you'll recognize at least two), share a personal story about a loyalty that cost me more than I want to admit, and give you the one question that changes how you move from here forward.What You'll HearWhy "I don't know why I keep doing this to myself" is the wrong sentence — and what to say insteadStuck vs. loyal — the reframe that gives you your agency back, and why your nervous system picks familiar over free every single timeThe four loyalties — meet the Over-Functioner, the People-Pleaser, the Hyper-Independent Woman, and the Second-Guesser.

Rylan Foltz went from JP Morgan analyst to independent wealth advisor to co-founding WealthFeed — a marketing and prospecting platform helping financial advisors find better clients faster using predictive analytics and behavioral data. In this episode, Rylan walks through the full arc of that journey and unpacks the strategic decisions that took WealthFeed from zero to thousands of advisors in just two years.Jeff and Rylan dig into why the wealth management industry is so underserved by marketing technology, the power of building bottom-up before going enterprise, how to make a SaaS product genuinely sticky in a regulated industry, and why your distribution moat matters more than your product moat in an era where anyone can spin up a competing product overnight.Whether you're a first-time founder trying to crack product-market fit, or a scaling SaaS leader thinking through enterprise sales cycles, pricing strategy, and team-building, this episode delivers actionable insight on all fronts.Key Takeaways3:47 — The Origin of WealthFeed Rylan realized as a practicing advisor that organic growth was the hardest part of the job — and that the wealth management industry had almost no structured approach to marketing. That gap became the business.6:15 — Why Finance Is Marketing's Last Frontier Advisors can name the big firms but not their local competitors. The industry is dominated by aging, lifestyle-mode advisors who stopped teaching growth tactics — leaving a giant opportunity for a niche marketing platform.10:39 — What's Old Is New Again WealthFeed offers machine-written handwritten notes that look like wedding invitations. In a world saturated with digital communication, old-school physical outreach is standing out again.11:22 — Stop Thinking Leads, Start Building Assets Advisors shouldn't buy leads — they should build a database audience the way Budweiser buys Super Bowl ads: consistent, compounding, ROI over time.13:01 — Niche Marketing Builds Trust Generic messaging ("I help with retirement planning") signals you don't know your prospect. Hyper-specific messaging ("I work exclusively with SaaS co-founders on RSUs and equity comp") creates immediate trust and relevance.14:12 — The All-in-One Platform Advantage WealthFeed layers CRM, outbound marketing (LinkedIn, email, direct mail, handwritten notes), and proprietary data into one workflow — so advisors don't stitch together five point solutions.17:41 — Simplicity Over Power at Launch Early on, feature overload slowed adoption. The lesson: launch with one compelling use case (for WealthFeed, inheritance lead data), get users in the door, then upsell from there.20:55 — Your Moat Is Your Distribution AI lets anyone copy a product in a weekend. What can't be copied overnight is your relationships, your user base, and the custom integrations you've built into a customer's workflow.25:03 — Bottom-Up Enterprise Strategy WealthFeed got traction by signing individual advisors first, letting the grassroots demand bubble up to management — which created enterprise deals without having to wait in long procurement queues.27:09 — Don't Hunt Elephants Until You Can Afford To Enterprise deals can drag for three years. Without revenue from individual and SMB customers, a startup can starve waiting for that one big contract to close.29:28 — Hybrid Pricing: Access Fee + Usage Credits Flat subscriptions don't work when one advisor sends 20,000 handwritten notes and another logs in once a month. A hybrid model lets you charge for scale without penalizing light users.31:28 — Price High, Discount Down Starting low and raising prices creates churn and resentment. Starting at a premium and offering a promotional discount sets expectations — customers know the real value from day one.33:19 — Balancing Founder Vision vs. Customer Feedback A 50/50 split: take customer input seriously, but don't become a yes-man. The most successful founders — especially those who've lived the problem — trust their forward vision even when customers can't yet see it.35:59 — Build Infrastructure Before You're Drowning WealthFeed hired sales, dev, and customer success earlier than felt necessary. That foundation is now why their customer success "outperforms anyone else in the industry."38:30 — Flatten the Org to Connect Dev and Customer Tech teams that never see how the product is used build the wrong things. WealthFeed has engineers sit in on sales calls so they understand why features matter, not just what to build.39:45 — Let Compliance Work With You, Not Against You Instead of pitching firms on new compliance workflows, WealthFeed integrates into whatever compliance process already exists — dramatically speeding up enterprise approvals.Tweetable Quotes"Your moat is your distribution. Go-to-market has gotten extremely valuable because you could almost create the product overnight." — Rylan Foltz"Stop thinking about leads. Start thinking about building an audience, a database, an asset for life." — Rylan Foltz"No one wants a generalist. Everyone wants the best knee surgeon in the country. As an advisor, you've got to become really niche-focused." — Rylan Foltz"Start your pricing high. You can always discount down. It's really hard to raise prices." — Rylan Foltz"It's easier to sell one flavor of ice cream and say it's the best than to offer 32 flavors and create option overload." — Rylan Foltz"What's old is new. Everything shifted to digital, so old-school processes are how you stand out now." — Rylan Foltz"You'll be most successful solving a problem you personally went through. It comes across in your sales, your fundraising, everything." — Rylan Foltz"Don't get too caught up in enterprise until you build up the user base. Get revenue first, then you can afford to chase the elephants." — Rylan FoltzSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Niche down relentlessly — and mean it. Rylan didn't just say "we focus on financial advisors." WealthFeed built every feature, every data layer, and every compliance workflow around that single ICP. The more specific your niche, the stronger your trust signal, the better your retention, and the harder you are to displace. Generalist products get commoditized. Specialists get embedded.2. Distribution is the real product. In a world where a working SaaS product can be replicated in a weekend, your go-to-market is your most defensible asset. Relationships, user base saturation within target firms, custom integrations, and compliance workflow ownership are what prevent a competitor from walking in and saying "we do the same thing." Build distribution as intentionally as you build product.3. Start simple — layer complexity after adoption. Feature-rich doesn't mean better. WealthFeed launched with one use case (inheritance lead data) and expanded from there. Getting a user in the door on one powerful idea is vastly easier than selling a full platform. Upselling to an existing user is far more efficient than converting a prospect who's overwhelmed at first glance.4. Build your team infrastructure earlier than you think you need it. Founders often hire only when they're already underwater. Rylan and his team built out sales, dev, and customer success before they felt the pressure — and that head start compounded into top-tier customer outcomes. Infrastructure built under stress tends to crack. Infrastructure built with intention scales.5. Price to your value, then offer strategic discounts. Starting low might feel like a growth hack, but it sets a price anchor that's almost impossible to raise without friction. Starting at a premium gives you room to discount strategically, run promos, and still maintain perceived value. Customers who came in knowing the "real" price won't balk at renewal the way customers who got a surprise price hike will.6. Close the gap between your builders and your buyers. One of WealthFeed's most impactful structural choices: having engineers sit in on sales calls. When the people building the product understand how it's actually used — and why it matters — they build better, faster, and with more empathy. Kill the wall between tech and go-to-market. Your roadmap will thank you.Guest Resourcesrylan@wealthfeed.comhttps://www.wealthfeed.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rylanfolts/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group –

In this episode of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast, host Justin Goodbread breaks down a major misconception in the financial services industry: the idea that word-of-mouth referrals and general networking are sustainable growth strategies. Justin argues that depending solely on referrals is a flawed system akin to simple hope, and it is the primary reason most advisors remain stuck under $1 million in revenue. Using a fishing metaphor from the Tennessee River, he outlines a 5-step strategic system that professional advisors can use to attract high-value clients and rapidly scale their practices.

So many people are incredibly good at giving. Giving support. Giving love. Giving encouragement. Giving time. Giving energy. Giving care. But when it comes time to receive those same things back? Suddenly it feels uncomfortable. In this deeply honest and healing episode of Getting Through the Week, Dr. KellyRae explores why so many people struggle to receive love, support, rest, help, softness, and emotional safety — especially after years of living in survival mode. Because for many people, hyper-independence didn't begin as confidence… It began as protection. This conversation dives into:

In this week's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, dig into issues of safety responsibility in the brokered-freight world after the Supreme Court's May ruling removing a key defense many brokers have used in state courts to deflect civil lawsuits for “negligent hiring" after a crash. The short of it for potential impacts: More brokers are certain to need to be able to readily defend their cases against suits on the merits. As ongoing Overdrive coverage of the reaction to the ruling has shown, it's an open question just how freight middlemen end up approaching demonstration of due diligence around carrier vetting: https://overdriveonline.com/15825631 The reality that lingers behind it is the safety rating responsibility law has long placed on the Secretary of Transportation and its Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. A relative few of the smallest carriers with authority have ever been rated. And rating outcomes trended negative for many years, as FMCSA placed emphasis on targeting resources toward problem carriers rather than the Satisfactory stamp of approval, as it were. The Trump administration's FMCSA in 2025 reversed that trend, in some ways, issuing a larger share of final Satisfactory ratings than in prior years, though overall finalized ratings fell off a cliff: https://overdriveonline.com/15826542 In the podcast today, hear a good example of a good broker in S2 International's Jennifer Mead, honored last year by the National Association of Small Trucking Companies as 2025 Broker of the Year among its "Best Brokers" group of referred and creditworthy brokers. Mead and S2 -- "knock on wood," she said -- have never been the target of a state civil post-crash suit, yet she well knows attorneys and others get "sue-happy" when a Supreme Court ruling like this settles a matter in question. She fully expects more cases to be brought against brokers. Yet she's not fundamentally worried about S2's position, with the company focused mostly in the expedited-freight world and with much of their book of business running on trucks and in vans of close partners carriers they really take the time to truly get to know. "We're ahead of that game already," Mead said of vetting carriers, "especially because we've been so time- and service-sensitive. You don't want to put just any local yokel on the load and have a [factory production] line shut down." Hyper-cautious, S2 has used vetting systems like Highway and FreightValidate for checks, though mostly for monitoring purposes rather than front-end vetting. Such systems help with a "good database for insurance," she said, and "getting the notifications of when insurance is expiring." Too many brokers/shippers just "check the insurance once and don't pay attention to it," she said. For carrier onboarding with S2, "I try to reach out and talk to owners of the companies that we're working with" to get a real feel for them as business owners, for their attention to not only to service but safety. "Vetting's a full-time job," Mead said, noting the back-and-forth with new carriers they're considering working with. While S2's set "thresholds" for things like age of a carrier's authority (six months) and other metrics, those don't necessarily mean "we just won't work with them," she added. Rather, judgment calls come into play after conversations, and consideration of the full range of data available. That full-time job, she said, at once, could be more part-time, in her view, noting agreement with many around trucking that "we should be able to rely more heavily on the government for that."  More safety rating from FMCSA could help. After the SCOTUS ruling, Mead felt "the water's getting muddier" around vetting standards, not clearer.

Listen Now to 012 WTFuture Crazy enough to  Actually Watch this ‘AI Slop’ 012 WTFuture — The Intelligence Age: From Hyper Local Agents to Long Distance Relationships  It appears we are now leaving the information age and diving headfirst into an “intelligence age” . But what powers this transition? Chips? Beliefs? Noble Gas?  And hyperlocal? WTF AL!”  In this jam-packed podcast episode, the hosts geek out over Nvidia’s massive announcements at Computex, highlighting how new hardware like the Vera Rubin data centers and Jetson Thor chips are bringing agentic AI and supercomputing power right to our laptops and home robots. Soon you too will likely have loads of intelligence agents doing your bidding, should you want such powers.  Having these personal AI buddies run locally instead of in the cloud not only keeps your private secrets safe from getting sold or hacked on the dark web, but it also stops the our species from burning up gigawatts of electricity just to answer our nick nack reality questions or generate click bait. The answer?  Check out what Bobby has to say about new local AI buddies! Thanks to a video submission by Dr. Jabir, our crew marveled at a mysterious giant potato-shaped heavenly body eclipsing the sun, as captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover.. “What body is it,?” you might ask. Think about it for a second and you’ll likely get this one right..still, it’s amazing to see! We also debuts a video short, humorously recounting a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal root canal successfully performed with an ancient stone routing tool! Thanks to the powers given to us by our humble AI servants, we have brought this scientific research to life! Some say the ending is  a little kitch, but Al likes it, and thinks you will to. Let us know, one way or the other. And was it fun for you to watch? The conversation then  blasts off into the quantum realm, debating Mrs. Future’s speculative theory that particles are actually micro black holes—surprisingly an idea even the AI Grok seemingly approved of!  The hosts further bend notions of reality by exploring the idea that human consciousness literally arises from quantum computations happening inside tiny carbon “microtubules” in our brain’s neurons. This quantum connection might even explain wild, Matrix-style phenomena like time dilation during life-or-death car crashes.  Finally, things get delightfully mythic as the episode wraps up with Sun’s   “Brief HerStory of Time,” exploring how the spring months got their names from powerful mythological figures, such as the starry Pleiades sisters bringing in May, and the fiercely accountable, peacock-wielding Roman goddess Juno reigning over June. btw, Happy June!

SummaryThe Build the Fort Framework is a startup methodology created by Chris Heivly, co-founder of MapQuest, that strips away adult overthinking to return founders to the first-principles instincts that produce successful companies. In this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald Thompson sits down with Chris, a senior vice president at Techstars who has advised startup ecosystems across four continents, mentored thousands of founders, and helped catalyze more than $75 million in investment capital. The conversation covers what separates founders who win from those who get stuck, why the product you are imagining today is not the one that will make you successful, and what the Build the Fort Framework reveals about customer discovery, community building, and ecosystem design. MapQuest sold for $1.2 billion. Chris Hively has spent every year since teaching founders how to build something that outlasts them.Episode Long DescriptionChris Heivly is the co-founder of MapQuest, the navigation platform acquired for $1.2 billion, and the creator of the Build the Fort Framework, a startup methodology now used across Techstars ecosystems on four continents. As a senior vice president at Techstars, Chris has helped catalyze more than $75 million in investment capital and co-founded Raleigh Durham Startup Week, which grew from 8 volunteers and 400 attendees to 49 volunteer leaders and 1,500 attendees while being designed so that no single person is indispensable to its survival.In this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald Thompson and Chris Hively dig into the pattern recognition that comes from working with thousands of entrepreneurs across dozens of cities and countries, and why the fundamentals of building a great company have not changed even as the tools around them have. Chris shares why the product you are imagining today is not the one that will make you successful, why great mentorship is peer to peer and never assigned, and why the Build the Fort framework works because it strips away the adult overthinking that kills most ideas before they ever get started. The Build the Fort Framework is a founder methodology that replaces complex startup theory with the same instincts a child uses when building something from nothing: start with what you have, talk to the people around you, and build before you overthink.Donald Thompson and Chris Hively also discuss AI, what it means for founders, and why Chris is more curious about this technology than anything he has seen in decades, and what he and Donald are quietly plotting for the Triangle entrepreneurship community.“Talk to 100 people before you write a single line of code," advises Chris Hively, co-founder of MapQuest and creator of the Build the Fort Framework, drawing on lessons from advising thousands of founders across four continents at Techstars.Key Talking Points:What is the Build the Fort Framework? The Build the Fort Framework is Chris Heivly's startup methodology that replaces complex startup theory with the first-principles instincts most adults have been trained to ignore.Why should founders talk to 100 people before writing code? Talking to 100 potential customers before building anything is the single most important discipline Chris Hively has taught across thousands of founder conversations at Techstars, and most founders still skip it.What is hyper mentorship and why does it outperform assigned mentorship? Hyper mentorship is peer-to-peer, two-directional, and self-selected, and Chris Hively's work across Techstars ecosystems consistently shows it outperforms every formally assigned mentorship program.How do you build a startup ecosystem that outlasts its founders? Raleigh Durham Startup Week grew from 8 volunteers and 400 attendees to 49 volunteer leaders and 1,500 attendees because Chris Hively designed it from the beginning so that no single person is indispensable to its survival.How are founders getting AI wrong? Chris Hively believes founders are applying a powerful new tool to unvalidated ideas, and his answer is the same one the Build the Fort Framework always starts with: talk to 100 people before building anything.Chapter Markers00:00 - Who Is Chris Heivly?

Why the Best-Kept Secret in Real Estate Is Going SmallerThere's a counterintuitive truth that the most consistently successful real estate agents already know: the smaller your focus, the faster you grow. In this episode, we explore what it actually looks like to become the undeniable go-to agent in a single neighborhood — and why that beats casting a wide net every single time.We're not talking about working harder or spending more on ads. We're talking about a identity shift — from generic agent to genuine community figure. The kind of person neighbors recommend without being asked, because you've spent months showing up in ways that had nothing to do with getting a listing.We break down five dimensions of what that looks like in practice. It starts with knowledge — not the surface-level kind you can pull from Zillow, but the lived-in, experiential understanding of a neighborhood that makes clients feel like you truly get where they live. From there we get into storytelling, and why leading with community narratives instead of market stats creates a loyalty that no ad budget can buy.Then we dig into the mechanics: how to build a marketing presence that feels native to the neighborhood rather than dropped in from the outside, how to position yourself as the connector who adds value whether or not a transaction is involved, and how to build a system where your mailers, your social content, and your events all reinforce each other instead of competing for attention.We also get honest about the three ways agents sabotage themselves before they ever gain real traction — spreading too thin, giving up too early, and showing up only when they need something from the community.If you've ever felt like you're working constantly but not building anything that lasts, this episode is for you.

nary a day passes when I am not filled with INCANDESCENT rage at some influenza-peddler sharing their deep thoughts about some imaginary micro genre or other. Hyper-slop.  sketchers-gaze.  It's all too much for any sensible, learned person (or if you prefer, me) to endure.   But then it hit me — why allow these grifters and dumbfucks to dominate the discussion?  What's stopping me — with my wealth of experience in deceiving the general public and my nearly unmatched avarice and commitment to self-interest, from doing likewise and reaping the vast rewards on offer?  And with that, this program (starting next week, anyway) will be entirely devoted to your new favorite microgenre,  SFW PORNOGRIND.  The only reason preexisting Pornogrind (which is most assuredly, NSFW) has not reached critical mass (heck, there's not even a program on EVR expressly devoted to the scene) is because, well, it's a tad too pornographic.  But if we can knock down the porno portion a good 10 or 15 percent, it becomes sufficiently PG-13 (or, if you prefer, and I sure as fuck prefer,  SFW PORNOGRIND.  Perhaps you're wondering, “why not just, ‘grind'?”  The answer, of course, is that there are too many programmers with poor enunciation who will make it sound like “grime”, and that's a completely legitimate genre that does not deserve to be tainted by association with this discussion. 

What does a fat loss diet look like when you build it around satiety (fullness) instead of restriction or willpower?The answer is based on the biology of post-diet hunger, 5 satiety levers that decide how full you are after a meal, and the targets you can set at your next meal.Most fat loss attempts fall apart around week 5 or 6. The reason is rarely willpower. Hunger is a measurable physiological state that intensifies the longer and harder you diet, and most nutrition plans don't account for it.This episode covers a study on hunger hormones that stayed disrupted a full year after dieting, the five satiety levers, from how calorie-dense your food is to how fast you eat it, and a simple way to audit your own meals for fullness without counting every calorie. It is built for adults over 40, especially women navigating perimenopause and menopause, who lift weights and want to lose fat in a way you can sustainReady to build a fat loss diet around fullness instead of willpower?

Sam interviews Todd Brown and Isaac Brown of Brown Church Development Group. A growing number of church leaders, architects, and donors are reconsidering what sacred space should look like. In this episode, we explore the rise of the hyper-traditionalist movement in church architecture—a revival of classical, Gothic, Romanesque, Byzantine, and other historic styles that aim to communicate permanence, beauty, and theological depth. While this movement is still niche in North America, it is more than an aesthetic preference. It reflects a broader conviction that church buildings should feel unmistakably sacred rather than utilitarian or disposable. The post The Hyper-Traditionalist Movement in Church Architecture (Is Anyone Really Building Churches This Way?) appeared first on Church Answers.

So many women have been praised for being “the strong one.” The one who handles everything. The one who keeps going no matter what. The one who carries the emotional weight. The dependable one. The resilient one. The one everyone leans on. But what happens when the strong woman becomes exhausted? What happens when strength slowly turns into survival… and survival turns into emotional burnout? In this deeply honest and emotionally powerful episode of Getting Through the Week, Dr. KellyRae explores the hidden exhaustion many strong women quietly carry behind their independence, resilience, caregiving, and constant over-functioning. This conversation dives into:

Pete Endres grew up dreaming of owning a farm.And when his mother passed away in 2011, Pete and his brothers decided they wanted to not only own a farm, but to open up a cidery on said property.Pete, who later moved to the Seacoast in the mid-2010s, spent years searching for the perfect property until, finally, he found it in 2019.That farm? It's now home to ⁠Bird Dog Cider⁠ in Greenland, N.H., which formally opened its doors in the fall of 2024.From the cozy confines of Bird Dog, Pete sits down with ⁠host Troy Farkas⁠ to discuss the blood, sweat, and tears poured into revitalizing the once-dilapidated farm, the family atmosphere that defines Bird Dog, and having lines out the door the day they opened their barn doors to the public.

Equip Foods Protein (grass-fed beef isolate, no seed oils, third-party tested) Code: BENAZADI - https://bit.ly/49xXaMq  Keto Flex Revised by Ben Azadi (pre-order now, releases July 21st, includes exclusive bonus chapters as a downloadable PDF): https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM    In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the five foods he eliminated that ended his chronic cravings and led to losing 19 pounds in 30 days. The root issue is not willpower. It's hormones and inflammation. A 2019 NIH study by Kevin Hall had participants eating ultra-processed vs. whole foods at matched calories. On the ultra-processed diet, they ate 500 extra calories per day without realizing it. The food was driving the overconsumption, not a lack of discipline. The five foods to remove: Liquid sugar. Sodas, juices, sports drinks, and flavored coffee drinks don't register as fullness. The Harvard Nurses' Health Study found adding one sugary drink per day led to 358 extra calories consumed daily. Swap for black coffee, plain tea, or sparkling water. Ultra-processed breads and tortillas. Stripped of nutrition and engineered for shelf life, modern bread spikes blood sugar as much as a Snickers bar according to Dr. William Davis. Opt for fermented sourdough or sprouted grain, or remove bread entirely for 30 days. Boxed pastas and processed comfort foods. Hyper-palatable combinations of salt, sugar, fat, and starch that overstimulate the brain's reward centers while leaving the body nutritionally depleted. A follow-up to Hall's study found people eating these foods consumed up to 1,000 extra calories per day. Seed oil-laden dressings, sauces, and condiments. Soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, and related oils produce carcinogenic aldehydes during processing and are in roughly 80% of the food supply. Replace with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow, or duck fat. Look for seed oil-free brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods. Alcohol. A 1992 New England Journal of Medicine study found moderate alcohol consumption drops fat oxidation by 70% for hours. The liver prioritizes clearing alcohol above all else, including fat burning, while simultaneously increasing appetite and lowering the brain's stop-eating signals.

Joe Haddow welcomes two more authors to the Book Off studio - for a war of the words!This week, he's joined by debut novelists Fran Fabriczki and Sam Beckbessinger, who discuss their new books, writing processes and inspirations.They talk about Los Angeles (the loves / the hates), wry humour, peri menopause, forging anger into stories and legendary mums. We also get some pretty great book recommendations too.THE BOOK OFF'The Book Of George' by Kate GreatheadVS'We Have Always Lived In The Castle' by Shirley JacksonHere's a little more info on our guest's books:'Femme Feral' by Sam Beckbessinger EVER FELT READY TO HOWL?Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year-old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter's not talking to her, husband's not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time . . . finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.Suddenly the troubles in her life - hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work - seem almost . . . bite-size.'Porcupines' by Fran Fabriczki Los Angeles, 2001. Sonia is raising her daughter, Mila, alone in the sunny but somnolent suburbs of LA. Her days are a blur of not-quite-illegal business activities, avoiding other moms, and baking birthday cakes laced with rum: minor mistakes that nevertheless remind her she doesn't belong.Mila, meanwhile, is juggling violin and swimming lessons and navigating the treacherous social politics of school – all the while trying to get her mother to share something, anything, about her past.But there are just too many things that Mila doesn't know:She doesn't know that her mother grew up in Soviet Hungary (where getting your hands on a banana was one of the greatest thrills in life)She doesn't know that her mother has a sister called Rina (whom she hasn't spoken to in 10 years)The only thing she does know about her father is that he was a ‘good time' (according to her mother)Crucially, she doesn't know that there is a very good reason why her mother dodges everyone, from traffic cops to vice principals.So, Mila concocts a scheme to get her mother, and the man Mila is kind of sure must be her father to reconnect. It involves corralling Sonia into chaperoning an orchestra of ten-year-olds (most of whom seem to be called Megan) on a road trip from LA to San Francisco, and it may just cause their carefully constructed lives to implode.Moving between Budapest before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington, DC in the tense years of the Cold War and the bright sunshine of early 2000s Los Angeles, Porcupines is an irresistible novel about mothers and daughters, belonging and reinvention, the things we carry with us, and those we tell ourselves we've left behind.

So many people have spent years in survival mode without even realizing it. Handling responsibilities. Pushing through exhaustion. Holding everything together. Staying strong. Taking care of everyone else while quietly disconnecting from themselves. But what happens when survival stops being a temporary season…and becomes identity? In this deeply honest episode, Dr. KellyRae explores the emotional, mental, physical, and nervous system impact of living in chronic survival mode for too long. Together, we unpack how childhood experiences, trauma, stress, emotional conditioning, hyper-independence, people-pleasing, and over-functioning can slowly disconnect us from who we truly are underneath the constant “doing.” This conversation dives into: • Survival identity and emotional exhaustion • Why so many people struggle to rest or slow down • Hyper-independence and over-functioning • The nervous system's role in survival mode • Chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and emotional disconnection • The difference between functioning and truly living • Why healing is about more than just “thinking positive” • Relearning softness, safety, and connection with yourself Dr. KellyRae also discusses how survival patterns can affect both women and men differently, while reminding listeners that emotional exhaustion is ultimately a deeply human experience. If you've ever felt like you're constantly carrying life instead of fully living it…this episode is for you. Because maybe healing isn't becoming someone new.

“The end of labor means the end of paid slavery. And the opening up of freedom — that is to say, choice of how to spend your time. The only question, a big question, is how do you eat?” — Keith Teare Does capitalism have a future in our AI age? For Musk, Silicon Valley's baddest bad entrepreneur, the answer might surprise. Musk seems to think that in the long run, money and wealth will disappear in an age of abundant intelligence. Which, presumably, will include hundreds of billions of his own dollars. Although given Musk's determination to sue and take money from OpenAI, some might be slightly sceptical of his real faith in a post-money cornucopia. It's not just Musk and That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare who are reimagining capitalism in our AI age. The former World Bank chief economist, Branko Milanovic, drawing on Karl Marx and Adam Smith in equal measure, argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, things will become free — thereby creating the conditions for the destruction of capitalism. Keith agrees — and goes further than Milanovic. The end of paid labor, he insists, borrowing also from Marx, is not a catastrophe. It's the end of what he calls “paid slavery” and the opening of genuine freedom. I'm not so sure. If nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. The cult of the amateur. The future is of bad entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and even worse artists. Hyper-capitalism in our age of AI. Five Takeaways •       The Musk-OpenAI Trial: A Big Yawn That Cost Millions: An Oakland jury rejected Elon Musk's claim against OpenAI in under two hours — not because OpenAI didn't do what Musk alleged, but because the statute of limitations had expired. Someone should have caught this before two weeks of trial. Musk has vowed to appeal, but it's hard to see how you get around a statute of limitations. Keith's verdict: sideshow, big yawn, ego contest. The lawyers won. The real question — who owns OpenAI after it converts to for-profit — was never going to be answered here. •       Sam Altman's Credibility Problem: The New York Times took five takeaways from the trial, one of which was that Sam Altman has a credibility problem. Keith's response: not new information. What the trial did reveal is the depth of mutual animosity between Musk and Altman — two people who, despite everything, share more beliefs about where AI is going than almost anyone else in the world. Keith on who he'd back in a Stalin vs Hitler choice: Stalin, 100 times out of 100. Which is not to say he's enthusiastic about either. •       Krugman on Europe: Right Analysis, Wrong Conclusion: Paul Krugman, touring Europe, argues that GDP per capita understates European quality of life. A third of US income buys more than a third of US lifestyle in Europe — healthcare, education, travel, housing are all significantly cheaper. Keith agrees with the analysis. His counter: Europe's structural hostility to innovation means it can maintain its lifestyle but not grow it. The social democratic model is sustainable until it isn't. It needs to unlock innovation or it will slowly fall behind. Hard to do when you're spending your time writing regulations. •       Milanovic's AI Thesis: When Things Are Free: Branko Milanovic — Marxist and neoclassical economist — argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, value in the classical Adam Smith/Ricardo/Marx sense disappears, and things approach free. Keith agrees and goes further: this isn't just Marxist logic, it's classical economics. The organic composition of capital. If variable capital — mostly labor — tends toward zero, costs tend toward zero, prices tend toward zero, and the distinction between capitalism and its opposite dissolves. Musk says the same thing. Agree or disagree, it's the most interesting economic argument of our time. •       The End of Paid Labor Is the End of Paid Slavery: Keith's most provocative position. The end of paid labor is not something to fear. It is freedom — the opening up of genuine choice about how to spend your time. What remains are human-to-human activities: care work, travel companionship, live music, the masseur. These will be in demand. They just won't constitute most of what 8 billion people do. The question of how the previously employed population participates in society — eats, lives, has purpose — is real and large. Keith's position: it's not an inconceivable problem. Andrew's counter: if nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter.

“Revealing Is the Key to Healing the Concealing” A Deeper Look at Non-Persecutory Sight as Soul Medicine Inspired by the work of Raquel Hopkins Somewhere along the way, modern culture turned emotional growth into a backstage pass nobody ever stops checking. Everybody “processing.” Everybody “unpacking.” Everybody “working on themselves.” Meanwhile the rent still due, the children still growing, the body still aging, and loneliness sitting in the corner eating grapes like it pays utilities. Tonight's conversation asks an uncomfortable question: what if some people are no longer healing from life, but hiding from participation inside highly intelligent emotional language? Because there's a difference between self-awareness and self-surveillance. A lot of people no longer experience relationships directly. They experience themselves experiencing the relationship. Monitoring. Interpreting. Diagnosing. Regulating. Curating. The modern nervous system has become a full-time security team protecting the personality from embarrassment, rejection, uncertainty, criticism, disappointment, exposure, and ordinary human friction. Some folks don't need intimacy anymore — they need hazard insurance with eye contact. And the strange part? Society applauds it. Hyper-analysis now masquerades as wisdom. Emotional hesitation gets marketed as maturity. Avoidance gets rebranded as discernment. People disappear behind wellness language while calling it growth. But here's the deeper danger: concealment slowly converts the soul into customer service. Pleasant voice. Professional smile. Internal fire. Tonight we investigate whether true transformation begins not when pain disappears… but when pretending becomes more exhausting than being seen.

How do you view your sense of self? Do you feel more or less understanding of who you are? How about those around you, friends, family, and others? Do you sense them as feeling more or less stable regarding themselves and their place in the world? I think it's worth considering, and I feel a continued shift toward insecurity in an of ourselves, culturally. I have kids from 13 to 30 years old, from middle school to grad school, and I see and hear of consistent quandaries vs self and identity. But I'm 55 and even amongst my peers I feel there are struggles. My guest today has been researching this issue and as with so much of the human condition, feels our current age of tech and speed and constant transformation is having an effect on our sense of self. Patricia Martin is a cultural analyst and author whose insights have appeared in Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, Slate, and Psyche Magazine. She hosts the popular podcast, Jung in the World, as in Carl Young, and she is the author of four books including her most recent, and my focus here, Will The Future like You? Reflections on the Age of Hyper-reinvention. In the book, Patricia asks, “What if the harms of living an increasingly digital life go beyond undercutting our attention spans or blunting our social skills? What if it cuts deeper, to the core of who we are and who we know ourselves to be?” In this episode we explore the challenges that tech and the internet impose on the human psyche and discuss the processes that make us who we are. We also address three conditions Patricia cites as unraveling who we are: persona fog, chronic self-doubt, and cascading crossroads.  As is often the case, I hone in on understanding who we are outside of what we do and how we have grown to measure and judge our sense of self.

Men with beards apparently make better long-term partners and we unpacked that claim. Harry Styles kicked off his new tour in Amsterdam and is heading to Australia in December which is very exciting news. A Qantas flight was diverted after a drunk passenger bit a cabin crew member which is a new low even by airline passenger standards. Hyper-independent kids who grew up eating cereal alone and fending for themselves are apparently struggling in adulthood and we had thoughts. Ricki opened up about her three unexplained ailments including sore hair, randomly muffled ears and tiny patches of skin that hurt for no reason and Sydney called in with their own weird body mysteries. And Tim took his daughter to the Billie Eilish documentary in 3D and came in genuinely emotional about what a good role model she is. We were not expecting to tear up on a Monday but here we are.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam Slevin, Global SVP of Customer Success at AlphaSense, joins Sam Jacobs, AJ Bruno, and Asad Zaman on the AI-era customer success playbook. Topics include why service is the differentiator over the next 2 to 3 years, the case for customer success owning a revenue number from day one, the gap between finance's productivity targets and real-life capacity. Plus, the origins of customer success, why consumption-based pricing can quickly become a trap, and a bull-versus-bear debate on whether HubSpot can get back to a $20 billion market cap. In short... big episode! Key Takeaways: - After 17 years building customer success teams, Sam Slevin doesn't entertain the "should CS own a number" debate. As Sam Slevin, Global SVP of Customer Success at AlphaSense, put it: "in my 17 years of, of customer success and leadership within customer success, that has never actually been a debate for, for me. I, I would never take a role that doesn't have revenue focused and like impact owning a number, calling your forecast from day one." His standing practice when he joins a new company: build a top-down and bottoms-up forecast on day one and validate it the same way sales does. - Slevin's central thesis is that AI raises the floor on automation while service becomes the upside lever for the next 2 to 3 years. As Slevin put it: "I don't think there could be a more exciting time to be in customer success where service feels like it could be the major differentiator over the next 2 to 3 years." The CS team that listens carefully, builds deep relationships, and meets customers where they are wins the renewal and the expansion. - The hardest tension in CS productivity is the gap between what finance models demand and what individual accounts actually support. As Slevin put it on his approach: "I definitely want to increase productivity in ARR per AM. What's interesting is I feel like there's a finance model and then there's a real life model… finance will say we need $15 million per AM." The leader's job, Slevin argues, is to find the 10% operational drag (AM-to-AE handoffs, billing friction, segmentation gaps) and remove it to close the gap. - On HubSpot's path back to $20 billion, AJ Bruno takes the bullish side based on customer behavior signals. As AJ Bruno, CEO at QuotaPath, put it: "And the fact that they've gone horizontal, um, now I know that there are like 70% of their customers are still looking for answers for HubSpot of what AI needs to look like, and they haven't let the opportunity yet pass them by, but it's getting shaky right now." Sam Jacobs took the bearish side, citing structural challenges and faster-moving AI-first competitors.   Connect with the Hosts & Guests: Host: Sam Jacobs, CEO at Pavilion - https://www.linkedin.com/in/samfjacobs/ Host: AJ Bruno, CEO at QuotaPath - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajbruno3/ Host: Asad Zaman, CEO at Sales Talent Agency - https://www.linkedin.com/in/azaman1/ Guest: Sam Slevin, Global SVP Customer Success at AlphaSense - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-slevin-9b2ba21b/   Topline is more than a YouTube Channel: Subscribe to Topline Newsletter: https://toplinemedia.substack.com/ Tune into Topline Podcast, the #1 podcast for founders, operators, and investors in B2B tech: https://www.joinpavilion.com/topline-podcast Join the free Topline Slack channel to connect with 600+ revenue leaders to keep the conversation going beyond the podcast: https://www.joinpavilion.com/topline-slack Chapters: 00:00 Introducing Sam Slevin 03:13 Customer Success in the AI Era 04:28 Should CS Own a Number? 07:43 Gross Retention vs. Growth 11:02 The Number-Owner Premium 14:37 Service as the AI-Era Moat 22:19 Productivity Per Person 26:34 Vendor Spend and AI Voice Modes 35:12 Reimagining GTM Roles 38:51 Quiz Pro Quo 45:38 Seat to Usage-Based Pricing 50:12 Pricing AI Like a Meter 55:43 CSM vs Salesperson Comp Gap 58:43 Bulls and Bears
