In today's episode we're talking to two-time mom Melissa Thormahlen, about the home birth of her son Tyler. Melissa's home birth story is a beautiful example of trust and surrender to the process of childbirth. Melissa Thormahlen knows how to give me “all the feels.” I knew her story would impact many when her first email to me about her birth story had me tearing up. She experienced most of her birthing experience at home with her first baby Emeline, before transferring to a hospital and having a beautiful birth. For Tyler, baby number 2, she knew she wanted to go for a home birth again because she trusted her body and her amazing birth team. In Tyler's birth story, Melissa explains the trust and surrender to the process. She also took time to be close and intimate with her husband, Paul in the time before active labor. When baby Tyler was born in the bathtub after a strong surge that took everyone by surprise she exclaimed, “I DID IT!” We even get to hear from baby Tyler as he chimes in a couple of times. We love when the babies make little appearances, they're the reason we've come together to chat after all!

Six-time Grammy winner, Academy Award nominee, and Songwriters Hall of Famer Glen Ballard joins us to talk about his work with Michael Jackson, Alanis Morrisette, Dave Matthews, and many others!PART ONEPaul and Scott talk about the awesomeness that is Omnivore Recordings, dig into the Fire Aid concert, and talk about their '90s music geekery. PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Glen BallardABOUT GLEN BALLARDFollowing an entry-level job at Elton John's Rocket Records in Los Angeles, Glen Ballard began his creative career as a staff songwriter for MCA Music Publishing. Early singles included George Strait's “You Look So Good in Love” and Jack Wagner's major hit “All I Need,” which Glen also produced. In the mid-1980s he went to work for Quincy Jones, an era when he and Siedah Garrett co-wrote Michael Jackson's triple platinum single “Man in the Mirror.” By the dawn of the 1990s, Glen had begun collaborating with Wilson Phillips, co-writing their chart topping hits “Hold On” and “You're in Love.” He went on to produce and co-write all the songs on Alanis Morissette's debut album, Jagged Little Pill, including “You Oughta Know,” “Hand in My Pocket,” “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Learn,” and “Head Over Feet.” The project earned the Album of the Year Grammy, and Glen returned to produce and co-write Alannis's sophomore release, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, including the hit “Thank U.” Other songs from the Glen Ballard songbook include Aerosmith's “Pink” and “Falling in Love is Hard on the Knees,” as well as the Dave Matthews Band's “I Did It” and “The Space Between.” Glen earned a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for “Believe,” which he co-wrote with Alan Silvestri for the film The Polar Express. He has written and produced songs for Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Ringo Starr, Van Halen, Chaka Khan, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, and many others. In recent years, Glen has found major success in musical theater, including writing original lyrics and music for GHOST the musical, and teaming again with Alan Silvestri to write the score for the musical adaptation of Back to the Future. Glen has won six Grammy awards, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2023. 

In this foundational episode of the "Ten Basic Steps to Buy a Home" series, David Sidoni challenges conventional wisdom by revealing that Step 1 isn't about getting pre-approved or finding a realtor – it's about making the fundamental decision to start planning your homebuying journey. Through real-world examples and myth-busting insights, he demonstrates why deciding to view homebuying as a rent replacement strategy, rather than a new expense, can transform your entire approach to homeownership. This mindset shift, backed by the confidence that comes from understanding the true process, is what sets successful first-time homebuyers apart in 2025's competitive market.Quote: "Buying a home is not taking on a new crazy expense... Buying a home is a rent replacement strategy."Highlights:What if you could start planning your home purchase today at no cost, even if you're 2-3 years away from buying?Could your belief in common myths like needing 20% down or a 700+ credit score be holding you back from starting your homebuying journey?Is "waiting for the crash" actually costing you more than taking action now with a solid plan?What's the real reason behind rising home prices in 2025, and how can understanding inventory levels help inform your decision?How might converting your monthly rent payment into mortgage payments help build long-term wealth instead of just covering 30 days of living?Could working with the right professionals earlier in your journey - way earlier than most people think - give you an advantage in today's market?Referenced Episodes:Episode 40, 48, 51 - "I Did It" success storiesEpisode 53 - Madison's condo purchase storyEpisode 151, 162, 168, 192, 219, 225 - Market updates and changesEpisode 251 - The Last Lease Ever planEpisode 274, 299 - JT's perspective episodesEpisode 290 - 2025 Forecast and PredictionsEpisode 296 - Market follow-upEpisode 98 - David's personal rental storyEpisode 164 - Chutes and Ladders analogyConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeThis podcast was created for YOU - to cut through the confusion and empower you to buy your first home.

I DID IT!!! SCREW THE HATERS! 2023 CHAMPION AND COMMISSIONER NATHAN BAZYK! 

INTRODUCTIONThe first thing you should know about marriage is that there are no experts. I know that seems counterintuitive to what the rest of culture and society tells us, given that there is an entire genre of books at your local indie or corporate mega bookstore suggesting otherwise, but remember, we live in a world where reality TV exists, despite all of us accepting that it is manipulated, reshot, staged, choreographed, and edited for maximum dramatic appeal. Think about it: have you ever noticed how solid and comprehensive the prevailing wisdom is on marriage? The latitude of opinions regarding marriage is like the style latitude of an ancient mausoleum: austere, mossy, and mostly retrograde.This settling of critical consideration is even more surprising given that marriage is one of the most secretly amorphous and evolving things we have in our society. Sure, the fundamentals endure (holy matrimony, death do us part, The Bachelor franchise, etc..), but what it means to be married has shifted PRETTY sharply in just a few decades, not to mention a few centuries. As a contextual aside, in the lifetime of my mother, a woman who gave birth to me at the age of twenty-two, women had to fight for the right to be able to open their own bank account! Just seriously think about that for a second. In the same lifetime that we went to the moon (aided by women), we also wrestled with whether or not an entire gender could navigate the overwhelmingly complex binary of "deposit" and "withdrawal." And if we zoom back a century or two beyond my mother, the vibe of women was more akin to a "conversational farm animal" than it was something we see in a Nicholas Sparks movie.I say all that to emphasize two things: 1) the stupefyingly slow pace of progress and 2) how frozen in time we tend to be about social issues, especially the ones concerning and involving women. All that to say, it's essential to acknowledge that for a large portion of American culture, we're more or less taught that, as currently iterated, marriage is both ancient and straightforward, and all the lessons we need were known and articulated by the Desert Fathers of Judaism or Christian antiquity.The net effect of this topical reductionism is that for a person or couple seeking advice, most materials about marriage are books more watered down than the Titanic.Accordingly, these vaguely helpful and mostly recycled insights are a critical hurdle to clear because once we realize that there are no experts and once we realize that there is no precisely correct path to follow with our relationships, we are then allowed to unclench our collective butts about what our marriages or relationships should and should not look like. And for the record, butt-clenching isn't good for anyone, and it's uncomfortable. Sure, you may get defined glutes out of it, but is having defined glutes really all it's cracked up to be? It just feels like a lot of maintenance, and after a certain age, being known for your defined glutes just gets a little weird. Trust me; having a defined butt is a young person's game, so unclench away!At the time that I am writing this, my wife, Ashley, and I are celebrating 19 years of marriage, meaning that I've lived more life with Ashley than anyone else. This means that the state, the man, God, Oprah, Tom Cruise's Scientology, and any other authority figure you want to represent must acknowledge that Ashley and my relationship with her is the most foundational and consequential part of my life.This foundational-ness is a product of time spent together and of the accumulation of all types and varieties of experiences across 19 years: wonderful experiences, challenging experiences, hilarious experiences, absurd experiences, parenting experiences, disorienting experiences, pandemic experiences, screaming-into-pillows-out-of-anger experiences and so many other types of experiences all in between. And for me, throughout these 19 years and all manner of experiences, a light has been shined on where modern marital advice fails. For instance, most talk or writing about marriage focuses mainly on the relationship at the center of the marriage. On the surface, this makes sense because, after all, that relationship is the whole point. The union is the manifestation, the animating aspect, and the entire reason for being, so what else would you talk about? But in doing so, the requisite individuality that contributes to the relationship is usually ignored. There's so much focus on what the two individuals create together that more space is needed to see what it means for two separate and distinct variables of people to exist cohesively within the confines of the relationship. That's the most significant issue at the center of most marriages: not how to be together, but how to be together while being separate people.It just seems like if you are not going to acknowledge that every person brings their own trojan horse of baggage into a relationship to be opened up, only God knows when, then what even is the point of trying to talk about marriage? Because as much as no one wants to admit it, we all have baggage that must be dealt with. All the respect and sex in the world won't resolve preexisting issues of insecurity, desperation, delusions of grandeur, low self-esteem, or selfishness. That's like spraying Febreeze in a boys' locker room; it may take the edge off, but you're still left with the stink of feet, body odor, and now also Febreeze.The other place where modern marriage advice often fails is the generative process for marital advice to become canonized. It's insane because marriage advice is less regulated than NFTs and AI technology. Anybody can say anything about marriage, and if it is pithy, vaguely accurate, and gets repeated enough, suddenly, it's almost biblical in its inerrancy.At about this point, you might wonder if this is my pitch to be presented as a NEW YOUNGBLOOD EXPERT BOI in the lush content fields of marriage. If that sentiment reflects your concern or suspicion, please know that I am laughing in your face because the idea of Ashley and I as marital experts is as absurd as Jimbo Fisher's fully guaranteed contract at Texas A&M.Ashley and I are only now barely starting to understand the fundamental nature of our relationship. We love each other, support each other, and genuinely like being with each other, but having maintained that over nineteen years effectively means nothing relative to other relationships with their own specifications and nuances. Instead, anything I say or write about in this book comes from the perspective of two people who are just big fans of marriage and enthusiastic about people figuring out their own relationships. We hold no degrees or licenses to speak with any institutional authority on the topic. All we have is our own experiences and perspectives and the hope that something we've experienced or realized may be found to be helpful for someone else.To be honest, I was hesitant to write about this topic given that I didn't want to create the vibe of "HEY, EVERYONE, LOOK, I DID IT. I FIGURED OUT MARRIAGE." Instead, the vibe I wanted to create was in writing something that deconstructed the static, stale, and frankly misstated aspects of most modern marriage advice, not to just destroy something for the sake of destroying it, but to clear room for us to collectively and individually build something back that is more honest, more relevant, and more helpful when it comes to conversations about marriages.Also, no book agents wanted me to write about this either, specifically in this way and about the things in the following chapters. I wonder if it was more about the topicalities (unlikely) or the person executing those topicalities (VERY likely). Still, I did it anyway because deep down, I have a profoundly opaque and constant stubbornness in both my head and my heart and also because it just seemed to me that the longer people are married, the more withholding they tend to be about the unique contours and specific delineations of their relationship. Not because they don't want to help or are sequestered into silence by a deal with a bridge troll, but because they recognize a) how little they actually know and b) how uniquely specific what they've learned is to their own situation. And so, all we're left with are the crumbs of cliches and stale wisdom or books committed to speaking broadly about marriage and ultimately concluding that all you need is love, respect, and sex.It's true: marriages do need love, respect, and sex, but as it turns out, it's much more complicated than that, and yet also much more straightforward in other ways, which was one of the biggest motivations for me to write this book: to simplify the aspects of marriage that have been unnecessarily presented as complex while also giving space to the complicated elements that have been suggested as being simple. Because if there's anything Ashley and I have learned across 19 years of matrimony, it's that while each marriage might be a unique world specific unto itself, we all deserve better and more precise ways to talk about it.

INTRODUCTIONThe first thing you should know about marriage is that there are no experts. I know that seems counterintuitive to what the rest of culture and society tells us, given that there is an entire genre of books at your local indie or corporate mega bookstore suggesting otherwise, but remember, we live in a world where reality TV exists, despite all of us accepting that it is manipulated, reshot, staged, choreographed, and edited for maximum dramatic appeal. Think about it: have you ever noticed how solid and comprehensive the prevailing wisdom is on marriage? The latitude of opinions regarding marriage is like the style latitude of an ancient mausoleum: austere, mossy, and mostly retrograde.This settling of critical consideration is even more surprising given that marriage is one of the most secretly amorphous and evolving things we have in our society. Sure, the fundamentals endure (holy matrimony, death do us part, The Bachelor franchise, etc..), but what it means to be married has shifted PRETTY sharply in just a few decades, not to mention a few centuries. As a contextual aside, in the lifetime of my mother, a woman who gave birth to me at the age of twenty-two, women had to fight for the right to be able to open their own bank account! Just seriously think about that for a second. In the same lifetime that we went to the moon (aided by women), we also wrestled with whether or not an entire gender could navigate the overwhelmingly complex binary of "deposit" and "withdrawal." And if we zoom back a century or two beyond my mother, the vibe of women was more akin to a "conversational farm animal" than it was something we see in a Nicholas Sparks movie.I say all that to emphasize two things: 1) the stupefyingly slow pace of progress and 2) how frozen in time we tend to be about social issues, especially the ones concerning and involving women. All that to say, it's essential to acknowledge that for a large portion of American culture, we're more or less taught that, as currently iterated, marriage is both ancient and straightforward, and all the lessons we need were known and articulated by the Desert Fathers of Judaism or Christian antiquity.The net effect of this topical reductionism is that for a person or couple seeking advice, most materials about marriage are books more watered down than the Titanic.Accordingly, these vaguely helpful and mostly recycled insights are a critical hurdle to clear because once we realize that there are no experts and once we realize that there is no precisely correct path to follow with our relationships, we are then allowed to unclench our collective butts about what our marriages or relationships should and should not look like. And for the record, butt-clenching isn't good for anyone, and it's uncomfortable. Sure, you may get defined glutes out of it, but is having defined glutes really all it's cracked up to be? It just feels like a lot of maintenance, and after a certain age, being known for your defined glutes just gets a little weird. Trust me; having a defined butt is a young person's game, so unclench away!At the time that I am writing this, my wife, Ashley, and I are celebrating 19 years of marriage, meaning that I've lived more life with Ashley than anyone else. This means that the state, the man, God, Oprah, Tom Cruise's Scientology, and any other authority figure you want to represent must acknowledge that Ashley and my relationship with her is the most foundational and consequential part of my life.This foundational-ness is a product of time spent together and of the accumulation of all types and varieties of experiences across 19 years: wonderful experiences, challenging experiences, hilarious experiences, absurd experiences, parenting experiences, disorienting experiences, pandemic experiences, screaming-into-pillows-out-of-anger experiences and so many other types of experiences all in between. And for me, throughout these 19 years and all manner of experiences, a light has been shined on where modern marital advice fails. For instance, most talk or writing about marriage focuses mainly on the relationship at the center of the marriage. On the surface, this makes sense because, after all, that relationship is the whole point. The union is the manifestation, the animating aspect, and the entire reason for being, so what else would you talk about? But in doing so, the requisite individuality that contributes to the relationship is usually ignored. There's so much focus on what the two individuals create together that more space is needed to see what it means for two separate and distinct variables of people to exist cohesively within the confines of the relationship. That's the most significant issue at the center of most marriages: not how to be together, but how to be together while being separate people.It just seems like if you are not going to acknowledge that every person brings their own trojan horse of baggage into a relationship to be opened up, only God knows when, then what even is the point of trying to talk about marriage? Because as much as no one wants to admit it, we all have baggage that must be dealt with. All the respect and sex in the world won't resolve preexisting issues of insecurity, desperation, delusions of grandeur, low self-esteem, or selfishness. That's like spraying Febreeze in a boys' locker room; it may take the edge off, but you're still left with the stink of feet, body odor, and now also Febreeze.The other place where modern marriage advice often fails is the generative process for marital advice to become canonized. It's insane because marriage advice is less regulated than NFTs and AI technology. Anybody can say anything about marriage, and if it is pithy, vaguely accurate, and gets repeated enough, suddenly, it's almost biblical in its inerrancy.At about this point, you might wonder if this is my pitch to be presented as a NEW YOUNGBLOOD EXPERT BOI in the lush content fields of marriage. If that sentiment reflects your concern or suspicion, please know that I am laughing in your face because the idea of Ashley and I as marital experts is as absurd as Jimbo Fisher's fully guaranteed contract at Texas A&M.Ashley and I are only now barely starting to understand the fundamental nature of our relationship. We love each other, support each other, and genuinely like being with each other, but having maintained that over nineteen years effectively means nothing relative to other relationships with their own specifications and nuances. Instead, anything I say or write about in this book comes from the perspective of two people who are just big fans of marriage and enthusiastic about people figuring out their own relationships. We hold no degrees or licenses to speak with any institutional authority on the topic. All we have is our own experiences and perspectives and the hope that something we've experienced or realized may be found to be helpful for someone else.To be honest, I was hesitant to write about this topic given that I didn't want to create the vibe of "HEY, EVERYONE, LOOK, I DID IT. I FIGURED OUT MARRIAGE." Instead, the vibe I wanted to create was in writing something that deconstructed the static, stale, and frankly misstated aspects of most modern marriage advice, not to just destroy something for the sake of destroying it, but to clear room for us to collectively and individually build something back that is more honest, more relevant, and more helpful when it comes to conversations about marriages.Also, no book agents wanted me to write about this either, specifically in this way and about the things in the following chapters. I wonder if it was more about the topicalities (unlikely) or the person executing those topicalities (VERY likely). Still, I did it anyway because deep down, I have a profoundly opaque and constant stubbornness in both my head and my heart and also because it just seemed to me that the longer people are married, the more withholding they tend to be about the unique contours and specific delineations of their relationship. Not because they don't want to help or are sequestered into silence by a deal with a bridge troll, but because they recognize a) how little they actually know and b) how uniquely specific what they've learned is to their own situation. And so, all we're left with are the crumbs of cliches and stale wisdom or books committed to speaking broadly about marriage and ultimately concluding that all you need is love, respect, and sex.It's true: marriages do need love, respect, and sex, but as it turns out, it's much more complicated than that, and yet also much more straightforward in other ways, which was one of the biggest motivations for me to write this book: to simplify the aspects of marriage that have been unnecessarily presented as complex while also giving space to the complicated elements that have been suggested as being simple. Because if there's anything Ashley and I have learned across 19 years of matrimony, it's that while each marriage might be a unique world specific unto itself, we all deserve better and more precise ways to talk about it.Over Under Achievers by Knox McCoy is a reader-supported publication.

I've done a lot of goal setting with clients, and while this may seem like a pretty straightforward thing, when it comes to money…that's not always the case. Goal setting is important to demonstrate, in real time, the progress that your client is making, and if the goals are too big, or even too specific actually saying “I DID IT!” may not happen as quickly as the client wants, or if they forget to do their “goal” one day, it can be frustrating, stalling their motivation and hindering their progress. Get excited, because we're going to talk about a goal setting strategy that will set you AND your client up for wins and celebrations.

Please excuse the poor sound quality. I DID IT!! And I couldn't have done it without all of you. Thank you for being a part of my world and for supporting me every step of the way. I'm super proud of myself - and I think it's important to celebrate our wins. Big, small, mini, giant. This world is so fast. We're so focused on what's next that most people don't stop to celebrate their wins. As we wrapped up our event yesterday, there were some sad faces. Goodbye's are hard, right? So call me crazy - but I was excited. Because I see endings as new beginnings. I see white where others see black. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss how one door closing isn't just another door opening - it's all of the doors opening! Including some dangerous ones….

Hello dear friends! I SO appreciate you guys and I apologize for not having an episode ready for you last week. My marathon brain just couldn't get in the right frame of mind and I had so much to mentally and physically prepare for that I decided to just take the week off. But it's over, I DID IT! I share a little more about this in a future episode that is coming as well as touch on it in this one as an example for something. It's surreal to think it's all over now but I am so glad I kept pursuing it and finished it! Thanks for all the support along the way from you all.  Today's episode comes highly requested from you guys after I saw the results from a poll I posted on my Instagram stories. Which, if you don't follow me on the gram, you should haha. I share so much of life, health, mindset, and gardening in my stories and posts and I love touching the lives of others through that platform. You can find my profile at www.instagram.com/gabby.getrootedinhealth  Today we talk about comparison and how it is ultimately the thief of joy. I wasn't planning on talking as long as I did but clearly I had a lot on my heart and God wanted to speak through me. WHY do we keep robbing ourselves of the joy in our life? It is NOT of God. No matter the circumstances in your life you always have the option to choose how you handle them and navigate them. I recognize there are so many different layers to this topic and it is by no means meant to discount the things that are really out of our control that might be causing you pain and sadness and discontent. I can relate, but we are looing at the WHOLE picture.  We must stay in our own lane and not keep our attention fixed on others and other things. You are cultivating a discontent heart and mind which will impact your day to day living. Stop looking elsewhere, recognize that everyone has to start somewhere in life and you might be catching their happy ending or their success but you have no idea the journey it took for them to get there.  I hope this episode sheds some light into this topic, frees you from this trap, and allows you to begin experiencing JOY again.
