One of the most shocking realities of scripture is that at the end of Solomon's life, he turned from God. This sobering study reminds us that "but for the grace of God, there go I…" Let us look over this chapter and be reminded of how it must be God that holds on to us, if we are to persevere. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    In verses 1 & 2, what was Solomon doing? According to verse 4, how was this affecting his relationship with the Lord? Why do you think this was so? 2.    Verse 5 says that Solomon also went after the false gods Ashtoreth and Milcom (aka Molech). What were these false gods about? Why would they have appealed to Solomon? How do people sometimes today go after “gods of our age” that promise something that we want?  3.    How was Solomon's life characterized in verse 6? How was that evidenced in verse 7?  4.    The podcast mentions that the hill that Solomon was doing this on was the Mount of Olives. How does God's future plans for the Mount of Olives show that God's holiness is not bound by mankind's evil?  5.    As this chapter unfolds, what judgment does God bring upon Solomon and his kingdom?  6.    What did the Lord tell Jeroboam in verse 29? Given that Jeroboam is unrelated to David, what is so startling about these promises? 7.    The podcast mentions that there is one key promise that is missing from God's promises to Jeroboam. What was it? Why is that so critical in understanding the plan of God?  8.    The podcast lays out Solomon's spiritual decline. What were the stages that went into it? How could it have been prevented?  9.    Is there any warnings about Solomon that are applicable to your life? What steps should you take to deal with them by God's grace and the transforming power of His Spirit?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

Hello, hi! Today's episode is another behind the scenes episode of content creation and podcast   production. For my monthly plan this September I decided to focus my awareness on imposter syndrome, and paying attention to where that shows up in my life and how hesitation and self-doubt affect my actions. This episode is for you if you've ever heard that tiny , nagging voice ask “Who are you to have the nerve?”    Episode Summary   Check in:  I struggled to find my footing in the month of September due to preconceived notions that everything was “stable”. As a mom I've found myself on a learning curve that I didn't anticipate!    I'll share a window into this September's monthly plan and how thinking more about Imposter Syndrome has even got me thinking about how often self-doubt creeps into podcast creation.  What are the specifics of Imposter syndrome? Persistent self-doubt, despite previous success and an ongoing fear of being “found out” attributing your success to luck or diminishing your accomplishments. Check, check, check. Imposter syndrome is worth paying attention to and being conscious of because it inhibits our desire to try new things and grow. It holds us back! Not only that but this hesitation creeps into our relationship and shapes our interactions with others. What stops the cycle? First off: self-awareness. Train your brain to look for imposter syndrome by calling it out and looking for it. Other ways you can move past imposter syndrome:Reframe your mindset to focus on the evidence of your accomplishments: start by saying “I'm so proud that I ________”  Let others around you help you gain perspective, not to seek validation and approval but to course correct your self-doubt Practice your  self-compassion: What if you could come and give you a big hug? Or high five you during the small day to day wins? You can capture a more realistic picture of what's working well using my daily planner strategy Accept that your growth will be associated with not getting things right on the first try - this doesn't mean you have to doubt your entire existence - you might just need time to learn that new thing. I share a bit more of my own thoughts about why I've been feeling imposter syndrome as a podcaster lately, that goes back even farther to my doubts about “Medium Lady” being the right brand name.    A Moment of Gratitude: Are you packing up any summer clothes? What did you experience wearing those clothes this season? What did you enjoy wearing? What will you be excited to see again next year?     Other Episodes you might like: Episode 109: Medium Lady Unfiltered - Three Truths about Motherhood Content on Instagram and TikTok Episode 107: From Anxiety to Action - How to reclaim your mental headspace with guest and coach Madeline Farquharson Episode 108: From Self-Neglect to Self-Care - Prioritizing your Needs with guest and coach Madeline Farquarson Medium Lady Reads Episode 27 - Escape and Put Your Face in a Book Connect with Erin: Instagram: @medium.lady Email: mediumladytalks@gmail.com  Explore more book-related content on "Medium Lady Reads." - link to Spotify Instagram: @mediumladyreads

Transitioning Toward Inclusivity and Excellence in Student Affairs Student affairs professionals are essential to the fabric of higher education, guiding students through their transformational college journey while grappling with their own career advances. Dr. Anna Gonzalez, NASPA's incoming board chair, brings her extensive experience in higher education to the forefront in a recent episode of the Student Affairs Voices from the Field podcast. As a first-generation college student and Filipino immigrant, she not only shares the lessons of her personal history but also sets the stage for the future of student affairs. Embracing Identity and Leading with Inclusion A journey marked by immigration at a young age, the pursuit of education, and ultimately, a leadership role in NASPA, Dr. Gonzalez's story is one of overcoming barriers and bringing true diversity to student affairs. Her advocacy for first-generation students, her stride in higher education policy, and her commitment to fostering diversity enrich the conversation around transitions within the student affairs profession. Pioneering Change Amidst Global Challenges In these times of global connectivity and unforeseen challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Gonzalez's experience transitioning to a significant role at WashU and her decision to accept the position as NASPA chair are testaments to adaptability and resilience. The interview, spanning two continents, showcases the transformative power of leaders who embrace change and prioritize the well-being of their colleagues and students. Fostering Well-Being and Job Satisfaction in Student Affairs The podcast delves into the crucial role of mid-level professionals in student affairs and the specific, intentional support they require. Dr. Creighton and Dr. Gonzalez emphasize the importance of strong supervision and staff recognition, addressing job satisfaction, workforce diversity, and benefits to cultivate healthy work-life balance. The ongoing dialogue underscores the necessity of redefining expectations for salaried employees in higher education and promoting a culture that appreciates the indispensable contributions of student affairs professionals. The Path Forward: Advocacy and Policy in Higher Education The episode not only celebrates the trajectory of Dr. Gonzalez but also presents crucial touchpoints for the future of student affairs, including advocacy in higher education policy. It illuminates the structural changes needed to recognize the value of student affairs and its impact on students and the civic health of society at large. Dr. Gonzalez's presidency promises to bring these concerns to the forefront, ensuring that higher education remains a pillar of opportunity and empowerment for all students. Conclusion: A Call to Action for Student Affairs Professionals Dr. Anna Gonzalez's reflections offer a beacon of inspiration and a call to action for student affairs professionals to advocate for change, recognize their value, and create inclusive environments for learning and growth. Her leadership in NASPA champions these principles, urging educators and policymakers alike to consider the significant influence they have in shaping the future of higher education. Listening to the SA Voices from the Field podcast offers an enriching perspective on the multifaceted roles of student affairs professionals. To capture the full essence of Dr. Gonzalez's insights and guidance, tune in to the podcast and join in the conversation around student affairs transformation.     TRANSCRIPTS Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:01]: Welcome to student affairs voices from the field, the podcast where we share your student affairs stories from fresh perspectives to seasoned experts. This is season 10, continuing our season 9 theme of on transitions in student affairs. This podcast is brought to you by NASPA, and I'm doctor Jill Creighton, she, her, hers, your essay voices from the field host. Welcome back to essay voices from the field where today we are thrilled to welcome NASPA's incoming board chair, doctor Ana Gonzalez. Doctor Gonzalez leads successful student affairs operations with a particular commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in all aspects of student life. With 30 years of experience in higher education, she previously held positions at the University of California Irvine, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and at Lewis and Clark College where she was a founding faculty member and program director for the master's program in student affairs administration in the Graduate School of Counseling and Education. Doctor Gonzalez most recently came from Harvey Mudd College, an institution within the Claremont Colleges consortium where she served as the vice president for student affairs as well as the program director and faculty member at the Claremont Graduate University. Her research interests are focused on first generation students, immigrant students, equity and diversity, higher education policy and governance, student affairs administration, and higher education finance. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:23]: A 1st generation college student who immigrated to the US at the age of 10, doctor G graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a bachelor's degree in international business. She earned her master's in doctoral degrees, both in education, from Claremont Graduate University. Anna, welcome to SA Voices. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:01:40]: Hi. How are you doing, Jill? Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:42]: I'm so glad to be speaking with you. We are spread wide apart on the globe today with you calling in from Hawaii, and I am currently sitting in Paris, France. So we appreciate the accommodation of the time zone action. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:01:54]: This is fantastic. This is how our world is now, actually. We are global at all kinds of time zones, so it's fantastic. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:02]: And I think fairly representative of how NASPA's growing too anyway. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:02:06]: I definitely believe so. I think so. We'll definitely see it at the conference too. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:09]: Well, we've made a tradition out of interviewing the incoming NASPA board chair since Chris and I started collaborating on the show. So I believe you are the 5th board chair that we've had the pleasure of having on the show to talk about your transition, but this is the 1st time that our season has been themed to transitions while the board chair transition was happening. So we're we're right on point today. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:02:33]: That's great. And I love the theme. I think that's perfect in terms of my life and my career, so I love it. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:39]: We've had probably the most outpouring of support for this particular theme. It's the 1st time we're ever doing a double season on the theme because so many people relate to the stories of transition that we've been sharing. And so I'm hoping yours will also be one that people can relate to today. We always like to start kind of with a big open question, though, which is, how did you get to your current seat? And that could be either as board chair or at WashU or both and or anywhere else in between. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:03:06]: Well, I'll talk a little bit. I think about the WashU transition, and then I'll actually go into my job I mean, my NASPA chairmanship. The WASHI transition was something that happened. I was not looking for a change. I was at Harvey Mudd, small college, university, about 900 students in Southern California where I'm from, and I graduated from the Claremont Colleges. And so I thought I would stay there forever. The pandemic happened, which was a big transition for all of us globally, and I was, one of the people in charge of transitioning through the pandemic and afterwards. And I think that really gave me pause and thought of as the as I learned about the position at WashU, am I ready to go back to an in person with in a small school, which I loved, or am I ready to think about a bigger challenge in terms of the number of students in the middle of the country where there were so many things happening where the issue of my vote would matter. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:04:08]: My my vote would matter in California, but I think my vote would matter more in the middle of the country at a place like Missouri. And I decided that I was ready for another transition. I survived. At times, I even weirdly thrived during the pandemic, and so I thought I had one more big oomph to give back to the higher education community as well as my own passions for being engaged in communities outside of higher ed, some were different, and so I decided to take the plunge and transition to WashU. My transition to NASH was so fascinating. I've been into organization active since, I think, 1994 when I was a new professional. Never thought I would be the NASPA chair. A lot of people say that. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:04:51]: I never thought that. I never thought that's gonna be me, in large part because the people who I saw who were chairs didn't look like me. I think they were almost all male at that time and white. And so that just was this didn't seem like a place for me. I also worked at a cross cultural center. So I was in multicultural affairs. Loved, loved, loved it and, again, never saw people like me in those roles. And then people like Lori White, Doris Ching, and others started taking on this role of leading our wonderful organization. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:05:23]: And that's when I thought, oh, it can happen. It can happen to someone with similar experiences like me. And over time, I decided to, I was nominated for different, leadership roles at NASPA. I also volunteered for others and eventually transitioned to this role. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:05:39]: Would you mind sharing some of your identities since this is an audio only podcast? And you mentioned not being able to see yourself represented, it'd be great if you'd be willing to share who you are in that space. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:05:49]: Oh, thanks so much, Jill. Yes. I'm born in the Philippines, so Filipino by birth. I always tell people culturally, my family, just the way we grew up, was so much connected with both Filipino, East Asian, and actually Chicano identities, being where I was in Southern she, her. Grew up as 1st gen limited income and went through college, really. 1st gen limited income through all that went to a significant part. And then I immigrated, so an immigrant to the United States as well. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:06:30]: That's a lot of transitions. How have your transitions of identity being in your country of birth for a little while and then coming to the United States at kind of a younger age, how has that experience and that transition impacted your worldview on higher education? Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:06:46]: I first came to the United States, I told people and, oh, actually, we were at that time, I guess, we were undocumented too and didn't really have an understanding of that. Right? So as a child coming to United States, they didn't wanna tell people why we were coming. Right? That was a whole danger to that. So there had to be lots of secrecy. And so we literally were told we're just gonna go on this trip or a vacation to see the rest of our family again and be reunited with my parents. And so we went on a plane, came as immigrants, as young children, 10 and 6, my brother and I, and didn't really know. We were made to feel safe by our immediate family. We all lived together, my uncles and aunts. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:07:23]: I think it was 17 people in a 3 bedroom house for a while even when we first came. Yeah. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:07:29]: That's crowded. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:07:30]: It was kinda crowded, but, you know, it was kind of a big summer party. Right? But, yes, it was crowded. I think the adults probably felt it more than the children. And so it was wonderful to grow up with cousins and my grandmother, in particular, who really took care of us, and she made such a significant impact in my life. And so went through that, and I remember not knowing. But I remember my aunts and, like, would always say, don't tell people about how you came here. Like, you just came, and we never talked about paper or being legal. It was when I first wanted to work that they said you can't get a job when I was in in my teens. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:08:02]: Other people could start working, and they couldn't get a permit. And I remember oh my gosh. And then there was the amnesty that both Republicans and Democrats came together back in the day in 19 eighties, and they actually passed an amnesty for people like me who were in the country for a significant period of time, who were able to get to that whole transition of all of a sudden ruining the shadows to, I have my paper. And what did that green that that green card mean was hugely significant and transformative for my family, but we were doing the same things. We were obeying the laws. We were working. Everyone was working. Right? Paying taxes, actually. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:08:38]: Right? Some of them were working in offices. And then all of a sudden, you get this green card and you get this sense of relief. But, really, I thought that was just the weirdest thing. At at 15 and 16, I remember thinking, this is weird, that that somehow that 1 piece of paper by 1 act would change our whole life when we were living and doing the same things. I Dr. Jill Creighton [00:08:58]: think that's such an important story within student affairs because we talk so much about supporting our students through their journey for documentation or journey for, you know, financial aid that those stories are also amongst us in the profession. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:09:19]: Yeah. And I didn't really know how to talk about it. I actually learned a lot from students and staff who I work with who are undocumented and or who are DACA, and they're so brave. And I remember that they talk about it. They advocate for rights, and I just honor that. I honor their experiences. It it's similar to mine, but I didn't know how to voice it or talk about it until I listened to their stories. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:09:43]: Did you move towards citizenship after your green card? Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:09:45]: Yes. That took a while because I actually wasn't sure. So that one, my family let us make the choice, which I love my dad and my mom, and I I love my family for allowing us as children. Right? We were still under 18 to make that choice for ourselves. But so I didn't become a citizen until after I could vote until, gosh, I was already a full time staff member. I really had to think about it and what that would mean for me. And finally, it was about voting, and I wanted to vote. It was important, and it was actually at a time when a lot of propositions in California were trying to take away rights, like affirmative action, like services to undocumented peoples, and even really immigrants in California that was happening. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:10:25]: And so I thought, you know what? I need to become a citizen so I can vote. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:10:29]: Tell us about that transition from being a green cardholder to being able to have that right to vote. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:10:34]: Oh my gosh. You know, the privilege that you get as a citizen of the United States, the the privilege to vote, it is a right and a privilege, I have to say, but also like traveling. Many places that I could go to I remember I worked for a semester at sea. I took 4 voyages, a semester at sea, and some people had to get visas and other things. And I was like, oh, there's all these countries where if you're a US citizen, you don't have to do any of that. I'm like, oh my gosh. What's that mean? Or being asked questions showing documentation. I could say, yes, I was not born in the United States, but I could show them my passport, and it was like a big easy check. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:11:06]: And so there was definitely a lot of privilege that I felt that I never take for granted because I used to not have that. And so I always honor that, and I I try to be a good citizen, I think. So Dr. Jill Creighton [00:11:18]: I think as American citizens, we often don't have the awareness that, you know, we hold I think it's right now the 7th most powerful passport in the world. There are quite a few ahead now, but that has to do with, you know, being able to enter other nations without applying for a visa or paying for a visa or simply just being allowed access instead of being denied think, puts us in an interesting position. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:11:46]: Yes. It does. It really does. And I'm not sure we talk about this as much as we should in terms of even in higher education or in other places that we should talk about. Is what does that mean for us, the great responsibility that we should think about having the citizenship. There's the privilege, but also this great responsibility that we need to, like, discuss and really engage in and own, and we need to own it. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:12:09]: Let's talk more about responsibility, which is your NASPA board chairship. Every time we've had on a NASPA board chair, the one big theme that I can draw a line through each of you is that you're really occupying a space of stewardship for the organization rather than driving a personal agenda forward. And I think that's a big shift that happened when NASA shifted from electing a president to electing a board chair. But I'm wondering if you can talk about what you're hoping, the board you will lead will be able to achieve across the next year. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:12:40]: I think that's a great question. I've been thinking a lot. You know, when I ran from NASPA board chair for the listeners, I'll remind them that I ran on 3 things. I still am thinking about that. But the first is, and it is not in any order, healthy excellence. That means in terms of, like, what does well-being look like for our profession and not just the students. Right? We love the students, but this one is more us. This is more us as practitioners. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:13:03]: It's time for us to think about how do we thrive in our roles, which I love, given all my work life in NASPA in term and student affairs, right, in terms of this is my profession, has always just been. I chose to be in it. But how do we thrive and be healthy, and how do we think of well-being when we have events that we go to? I mean, when you go to a national conference, it's like, oh, yay. 6 AM till, like, 2 AM. Right? Some people go that route. That is not healthy. You know? And and what does that mean? What does that look like? So even things like that. I really want us to engage in our work, in what we do, both the organization and our profession. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:13:40]: I think the second one is of the mid level. That is our largest as a constituent single constituent. It is the largest membership of our organization. And what does a mid level mean? What competencies? And to break that group down further, right, into, like a mid level could be someone 7 years and someone, like, 28 years in the profession. And I think that's a huge, big gap. And so what does that look like, and how do we both break that down a little bit, and how do we honor the mid level. Right? People are wanna sometimes they're like, I'm happy where I'm at, but I wanna gain different skills. I wanna continue having an amazing life in the work that I do, but what does that mean? But some people in the mid level wanna be like, I wanna become a vice president or I wanna become president. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:14:24]: Right? And what does that mean? Mid level also for me transitions. Do I stay in the field? Do I leave the field? Right? I think that's where we really have to engage our folks. So mid level for me is huge. And then the 3rd piece is and it's so important now is why higher education. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:14:38]: Yeah. That's a big one for the US. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:14:40]: It is. And the impact of higher education, the impact of student affairs in the purpose of students' lives, in young people's lives, and in countries in the civic health of our nation? And I think the answer is higher education. And I think student affairs is actually the the big the change agent and the why of higher ed. I think it's what we do and what we, as professionals, teach our students. And so those are my big three for NASPA. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:15:08]: Let's touch back on that midlevel piece because I think a lot about to the transitions that can feel very, very large in the midlevel from assistant director to associate director to director to perhaps senior executive director. Each of those levels within the midlevel carry their own transitions, their own responsibility differences, and their own growth. So we I think we tend to look at the mid level as a little bit of a bigger monolith than perhaps it actually is within student affairs. I think it's probably you know, there's smaller pieces within it. But what are you hoping for those mid level professionals Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:15:49]: chunk, but we just call them 1 big, big level. Like, the mid level institute. Okay. That gives literally anyone. I mean, what does that actually mean? And so you I wanna make sure that we'd look at the breakdown of what what that is. And what does that mean for NASPA? I think it's being more intentional, not looking at the size of an event, but saying, you know what? We're gonna have mid level based on up to 10 years of experience, and that's gonna be a smaller group, and that's okay. Right? And we're going to look at the competencies that you need based on that versus, like, the competencies that you need. If you were a director executive director mid level, but only with with 12 years experience, but that's completely different than the previous group. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:16:32]: So it's gonna have to it's gonna have to be that our association, our board, our regions, and even our divisions have to look critically at what we're doing for the mid level because we have lumped them too big, I think. And so it's just like, oh, the mid level. And that's, like, kinda the catchall. It shouldn't be the catchall. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:16:48]: And some of our mid level professionals don't supervise other professionals but supervise students. Some of our mid level professionals supervise large teams, which can include professionals, graduate students, and undergraduate students. It's it's a wide band. And I think my one major complaint with our development as professionals really throughout my entire career is that there's really a lack of education on how to be a strong supervisor. And if you wanna go find that work, you really have to seek it for yourself, and I'd really love to see us develop more of that for our professionals anyway. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:17:21]: I agree. That's great. See, me too. I'm excited. Gonna jump on the bandwagon. Let let's do this. I Let's go. Let's go. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:17:27]: Let's go. I love it. I think it's if I could really leave anything the mid level is the big question, and I just wanna make sure. I walk around NASPA, and I'm like, you're a mid level. You're a mid level. You're a mid level. And what does that mean? Dr. Jill Creighton [00:17:41]: Yeah. Absolutely. You also mentioned health and well-being as a priority, for our profession. I think that I've been seeing a real slide in terms of balance or integration with work life as of late. We did okay for some, but not for others in the pandemic. And now that we're coming out the other side, it feels like budgets are, you know, constantly being squeezed. People are being asked to do more with less or more people to jobs for the same amount of pay. So how are you hoping to promote that well-being knowing that there's a there you know, let's name it. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:18:15]: There's been of a bit of a morale hit to the profession as of late. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:18:19]: Yes. No. I agree. It's I think it was already happening definitely before the pandemic. I think it got exacerbated during the pandemic, and it's still here. I told someone, it's not necessarily the money that you throw at people in terms of making them satisfied at their position. The way that things are, I I get it. If you're an entry level, it's not you're not gonna get 6 figures your 1st year. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:18:42]: I mean, that's not and even for many, it's not gonna be that way necessarily for for a while. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:18:47]: Or possibly ever in this profession. Yeah. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:18:49]: Right. Or possibly ever. Thank you. Like, thanks for saying that. And at the end of the day, even if that were that's not necessarily the only thing that's gonna give people job satisfaction. It is being noted for the good work that we do. It doesn't help when you turn on the news and the newspapers, and you're, like, working so hard. You're a resident you're a RCD. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:19:13]: You just stayed up all night helping save a student's life. You know you made an impact, and then you turn on the news and you have people say, let's close down colleges and universities. Like, okay. No. Don't do that. Right? They just did something great. That doesn't help either to work in a field where people are saying they don't trust you. So one is, like, how do we honor and celebrate our staff, our our fantastic staff members. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:19:36]: Right? And we have fantastic staff members. I think too is how do we engage it so that the work doesn't become routine? Because there is a boredom factor to it. It's like the same old, same old. I'm not saying necessarily we're gonna make up a new job for someone, but how does it become exciting? How do we make sure that our staff equitably get opportunities to serve, for example, on different committees? So once it you know, so one day, it'll be your turn to serve on a building project. How exciting is that to be the capital projects? Not necessarily just people with titles. There's gonna be opportunities for everyone in different ways. And, also, because one day, they may wanna become director of housing, and you really can't be director of housing without having some kind of capital experience. Or how do we get a staff member to even rotationally supervise other staff? Because we can't make up staff members. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:20:27]: I get it. But instead of them supervising an undergrad, can we say, hey. This year, you're the one that's gonna supervise the graduate students to get more of that experience? Those are the things. And then, also, what kind of benefits, childcare benefits can we give our staff? Tuition benefits. Not every school does tuition benefits. Partner benefits. You know? Kind of we gotta think creatively to get people noted that these are difficult and transformative jobs and that we need to invest in our people. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:55]: Absolutely. I think one of the most radical things that I've seen happen as of late is, you know, the the state of Washington has their overtime laws that have gone into effect, which I'm very, very pro. And those laws, even for salaried employees, have limits on how many hours you can work per month, but it's requiring those institutions to redefine what a salaried employee is expected to do, and I think that's really good for the field. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:21:19]: Yep. I agree. And, also, the other piece, it's on us too. How do we allow ourselves? How do how do I, vice chancellor, like, just tell people it's okay to not check email every day? Sometimes sometimes I I'll talk for myself. I do that. Right? I check it constantly. And one time, I got really sick, and and I did not check it at all because I just couldn't. I couldn't physically check it. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:21:42]: It would not have been good for me to check it. And then it was fine. The job was fine. My students thrived. It was 2 or 3 days of just really barely, like, looking at my email and barely were really not working. And I realized, okay. Wait a second. It's gonna be okay. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:21:56]: So it's also teaching ourselves. Give ourselves grace, and we're not gonna work we're not gonna make ourselves work and think work 20 4/7. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:22:03]: And that really comes straight from the top. It has to start with your president empowering your vice chancellor, vice president to do that, and your vice chancellor, vice president really saying, hey. This is the culture we're gonna set for the organization. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:22:15]: I love it. Unless there's an absolute emergency, my boss does not send this email. So, like, he came in to WashU, and he talked about how he doesn't expect he's not going himself going to do, like, email past a certain time. Like, I wasn't there when it happened, but people talk about that. And it really shifted something, like, past 5 or 6 or, you know, not on weekends. It's fantastic. And I thought it was really sharing a vulnerability for him to talk about the fact that he has a life, and he has a family, and that's important. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:22:40]: And now the 3rd priority you mentioned was really anchoring into the value of higher education. And I think one of the most important things that NASPA does is advocacy in Washington, DC. So I'll give a shout out to the public policy division and also Diana Ali, who is the policy person with one of the policy people, anyway, within NASBA as well as Jill Dunlap. And they do some incredible work to track all sorts of state policies that are impacting higher education. We just saw a weird bill in Utah that is kind of mirroring what had been going on in Florida, which is also wild to me because I don't understand how it's not being challenged as a violation of the First Amendment in more intense ways right now, but that's a whole other conversation. But I'm wondering, Anna, how you envision NASPA telling the story of higher education or advocating for the value in your year as board chair. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:23:31]: No. I think that's great. I you know, I think for me, there's several things that we need to do. The importance of the why of college, one of the reasons why I went to college was to help transform my family's future. Right? And, yes, it is about jobs and careers. One of the big reasons that I went to college. I think if I told my dad I was going to go to college, but not really sure what that would mean, he would have been like, wait. We're gonna pulling in all our money to have you go, see how you do so that the rest of your cousins and your brother could go. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:23:57]: And you're not really sure why your our time and our talent and your time and your money is not gonna I'm like, it would have been unfathomable for my family and for my my background. So I think the why is one of them is the kinds of careers and opportunities for people because of their college degree. When you graduate from college versus when you don't, the wealth accumulation over time, the opportunities is greater. I mean, that is one of the things. But it's not about your major in terms of what your career is going to be. It is about the things that student affairs also does. Right? It's not just one thing. It's about the leadership training that we give them, the empathy that we teach them through experiential things, like being a club and organization president is one way. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:24:42]: Communication skills that we teach them. Right? We engage them to think of differences, like what we have at WashU, dialogue across differences. And what does that mean? To dialogue with someone is something that we in student affairs engage and teach them to live with someone from a completely different background and then to be able to share. Sharing is caring. And then to think about your well-being, right, in different ways. The things that we teach in student affairs allows for an individual to go through college and learn those skills and to be an amazing leader outside in the world, to look at their careers in profound ways. Not just, I'm just gonna work and get my pay, but I'm gonna work. I'm gonna transform. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:25:24]: I'm gonna be a leader. I'm gonna be engaged in community. And a lot of that is because of the 4 years or so that we have taught them in colleges, whether it's a 2 year college or a 4 year college or even, you know, doctoral programs. Right? So I think that we hold the key, and we don't talk about, we don't share those stories. I think student affairs, we are so humble, and we make sure that we lift up our students. But in doing so, I think we've forgotten to lift up the profession itself and explain what we do. We need to explain what we do. I don't think that we should celebrate the fact that our own parents don't know what we do. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:26:00]: My parents don't know what I do. Right? Right? And we and we, yeah, and we laugh, and we celebrate it. Like, this is that career, and it's like, no. That's not good. People know what other people do. We should talk about what we do. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:10]: And I think I'd be one of the very first to say that the degree is important, but it doesn't define the future as much as some of the soft skills do. I think I've shared on the show before, but my bachelor's degree is in music performance, and it's not something that I anchor into daily for the skills that I need in my job. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:26:27]: I should have you sing for us, though. Yeah. I'll be sending. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:31]: Well, I'll share kind of a secret. If you look hard enough, you can find me singing on TikTok and YouTube. But you have to look really hard, and it's not under my real name. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:26:41]: It's kinda funny. I mean, I don't really use those 2 apps as much, but okay. What is that? Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:47]: What was your bachelor's in honor? Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:26:49]: International visits, actually. And I and I'd use those skills that I learned today. I've always used it. I've learned so many things about balance sheets and what matters. And it's funny because when I say that, it's not necessarily that money matters. It's actually what matters in terms of the values that you put into time and treasure. And so that's what I learned. But so I utilize it a lot in my in my daily work, but I'm not in a business career. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:27:15]: Does that if that makes sense? Dr. Jill Creighton [00:27:17]: Are there any words of wisdom, wishes, or thoughts that you'd like to share with the NASPA membership in general? Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:27:24]: Someone I learned this as a faculty member from a participant at the last APIDA Leadership Institute. And I wanna say, I remember this person said, and I wish I would I could know who it is, but I wanna honor the person who who said this. She said someone told her once to fall in love with her staff, and I've been thinking about that a lot. And for me, for my words of wisdom would be fall in love with the field. Remember why you chose it because we chose this field, and fall in love with it. And if you're thinking that, you know, I'm having a really hard time right now. I fell in love with it once, but I'm thinking of a breakup or a break. That's okay. Dr. Anna Gonzalez [00:28:05]: But then find support and help about that and think through, do you stay with it, which is fine. Do you leave it, which is also fine. But if you're gonna stay with it, learn, and relearn how to fall in love with it. Because for me, that's what helped me thrive every day. For some of us, falling in love with it means really loving our student. But for others, it really is the actual work, itself. And so whatever it is, remember it and fall in love with it again because that's ultimately what's gonna keep you engaged and thriving in this profession. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:28:37]: It's time to take a quick break and toss it over to producer Chris to learn what's going on in the NASPA world. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:28:43]: Thanks so much, Joe. Glad to be back in the NASPA world. And this week, I wanna share a few policy updates that we've heard from our policy division at NASPA. Many of you may have heard that president Biden has issued another continuing resolution keeping the government funded through March. And so at this point, Congress has not reached a compromise to formalize a spending bill for the 2023 fiscal year. For the 2023 fiscal year, as funding expired at the end of September, the Department of Education held negotiated rulemaking sessions on federal Title IX program integrity, and institutional quality and trio eligibility in the month of January. During the subcommittee session on program funding funding involving funding connected to student meal plans and including books and supplies costs as a part of tuition and fees. Several members of the trio subcommittee expressed reservations about expanding eligibility for college prep trio programs to undocumented students due to tenuous political climate due to the tenuous political climate. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:29:58]: NASPA believes that extending trio programs to undocumented students is an important step in setting a federal precedent for equitable college access. The Office of Postsecondary Education is seeking comments from institutions on effective strategies for college student mental health and substance use and substance use disorders. This request includes how higher education institutions have transformed campus cultures with inclusive support strategies, how state agencies have supported behavioral health, identified challenges in implementing solutions, and information to guide future work of the Department of Education. Comments are due by February 25th. The Department of Education has also issued a request for information to assess sexual violence on campus. The RFI seeks responses on best practices for sexual assault prevention and response in education in educational institution in educational institutions. Topics include forming response teams, providing survivor resources, preventing and responding to sexual and dating violence, developing sex education and staff training programs, culturally responsive support approaches, engaging communities in prevention efforts and federal support of these initiatives. Comments are due by March 11th. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:31:18]: Finally, the Biden administration has highlighted key topical issues in relation to priorities for the 2024 presidential election year. Earlier this month marked the 51st the 51st anniversary of Roe v Wade in and the White House and the White House task force on reproductive health care access released a fact sheet on new actions to increase contraception care coverage. This includes a continued stance that the administration will support the FDA the FDA approval of medication abortion, which is currently which is under current scrutiny by the Supreme Court. Every week, we're going to be sharing some amazing things that are happening within the association. So we are going to be able to try and keep you up to date on everything that's happening and allow for you to be able to get involved in different ways because the association is as strong as its members. And for all of us, we have to find our place within the association, whether it be getting involved with a knowledge community, giving back within one of the the centers or the divisions of the association. And as you're doing that, it's important to be able to identify for yourself where do you fit, where do you wanna give back. Each week, we're hoping that we will share some things that might encourage you, might allow for you to be able to get some ideas that will provide you with an opportunity to be able to say, hey. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:32:46]: I see myself in that knowledge community. I see myself doing something like that, Or encourage you in other ways that allow for you to be able to think beyond what's available right now to offer other things to the association, to bring your gifts, your talents to the association, and to all of the members within the association. Because through doing that, all of us are stronger and the association is better. Tune in again next week as we find out more about what is happening in NASPA.

Ask yourself what is right for the enterprise? Develop an action plan Take responsibility for your decisions Take responsibility for communicating Focus on opportunities not problems Run productive meetings Think and say "we" rather than "I"   Let's discuss these eight practices today in hopes that will help you to create more results in your life and your business.   Thanks for listening and please share the show.   George Wright III

As human beings, storytelling is not only one of our favorite forms of entertainment, it's also a critical part of how we learn. This universal trait goes back to the very dawn of civilization, and transcends all divisions of time, place and culture. We've been telling each other stories forever, and the probability is that it will be with us far into the future. Actually, a joke came out a few years ago that illustrates the point. A perfect computer had been created that had immediate access to all human knowledge and could answer complex questions in a user-friendly way. The first question it was asked was, “How does our intelligence actually work?” and it quickly responded, “Well, let me tell you a story about it.” So, from the caveman to the computer, it seems like past is prologue. Anyway, like everyone else, I've been fascinated with stories all my life, and at one point I found myself making a key career decision that was based on their inherent power. I was a Political Science major at American University in Washington, DC. It was my Junior year and I was one of two students who had been chosen to serve as an intern in the office of a United States Congressman. Instead of attending my usual classes, I worked on Capitol Hill four days a week, six hours a day for three and a half months. As you can imagine, it was a pretty exciting environment and I gained a tremendous amount of first-hand experience. But after getting such an up close look at what really goes on up there, when it was finally over, I decided to change my major from Political Science to Literature.           I'm sure I was oversimplifying it at the time, but it seemed to me that the whole place was running on an intoxicating mixture of ego and greed, spiked with a major dose of good, old-fashioned lust for power. It was the late sixties, my generation seemed to be coming alive with a quest for a greater life, and I didn't see how anything truly transformative was going to come from the world of that masquerade ball, which smelled like it was set up somewhere between a swamp and a cesspool. It seemed like literature held a much greater potential to foster the nobler essences of the human spirit so I decided to start focusing my attention there, and have been deeply involved in it ever since. One of the most unexpected and amazing stories I've ever worked on revolved around the deeply spiritual side of Abraham Lincoln. Although I had been a long-time fan of Lincoln, I had never been exposed to this side of him. I found it absolutely fascinating and decided to construct a dramatic story based on it. I thought it would make a great book and maybe even a movie someday.  I know… it's not a very novel idea.           Now, this is all kind of a roundabout way of introducing you to the next five episodes of the Stop Making Yourself Miserable podcast in which I am going to present two key chapters from that proposed book which is titled – “The Better Angels – Lincoln, the Psychic and the Spy.”  The jacket-cover blurb for it is: “During the Civil War, a young woman who is a gifted psychic, secretly channels for the Lincolns and becomes part of a private, White House inner circle. By chance, she meets a daring Union spy and as their romance begins to blossom, they unexpectedly discover a sinister plot to kill the President. They secretly join forces in a desperate attempt to thwart it.” Based on actual facts, it's a multi-layered story filled with history, intrigue and all mixed with a sense of the metaphysical which was extremely popular at the time. But at its root, it's a truly enthralling love story. In the excerpts that follow, the two main characters, who are the love interests of the story, meet each other for the first time. Annie Franklin is the 19-year-old talented psychic, and Charles Keane is the dashing, 27-year-old Union spy.   I think it you'll find the story well worth the ride, so let's begin with a little background. It is mid-December, 1862, a bitter time for the Union army. The gruesome battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia had just been fought, with two hundred thousand American soldiers gripped in a truly ferocious battle. It had been a major defeat for the Union, with a staggering 13,000 of their soldiers killed, including two generals, and another 10,000 left badly injured.    Not only was the Union army suddenly and seriously demoralized, its field hospitals were also utterly overwhelmed. Unable to properly care for all of the wounded, the government is now allowing the worst cases to return home for care. Annie Franklin's brother, Daniel, is lying in an enormous field hospital, very close to death. She has made the trip from her home in Connecticut to Washington DC to obtain a furlough for him and is staying at the home of some family friends in Georgetown.  She had visited Daniel at the hospital grounds two days earlier and had gotten the necessary release letter from an army doctor.  Now, all she needs to do is deliver it to the War Department, and the furlough will be issued.           Annie approaches the large office building in the nation's capital. Things have gone smoothly so far and now, she fully expects to bring Daniel home within days.  *        *        *             The War Department was located in a large annex building, not too far from the White House, and it took Annie almost an hour to make the trip from Georgetown. It was open to the public from 10 am to 3 pm daily, and although she had gotten there at 9:30, the place was already nearly a madhouse, packed with hundreds of people, fervently trying to get their various personal missions accomplished.            She had the name of Captain Ernest Lee, an assistant to the Under Secretary of War, who was in charge of logistics for the wounded at Fredericksburg. After wading through the tumult, she finally found Capt. Lee's office on the second floor, in a distant corner of the building. When she arrived, she was given a number and told to wait her turn. There seemed to be about 20 people in front of her.           She sat down on a bench, clutching the letter she had brought from an army surgeon stating that Daniel's condition was serious enough to warrant a furlough, and recommending it be issued immediately. Finally, after not moving for over two hours, she was ushered in to meet Captain Lee.           “Hello, Miss,” he said officiously. “Sorry for the wait, but as you can see, we are really busting at the seams here.”           There was a lit cigar in the ashtray on his desk giving off a thin, steady stream of smoke, filling the air with a rancid yellow haze. He sat down at his desk, picked up the cigar and took a few puffs. Annie stifled a cough, but unphased, the captain kept puffing away.           “So, what brings you here today?” he asked, his bloodshot eyes staring out at her over a pair of dark brown bags that hung under them.            “Sir, my brother is with the Connecticut regiment and he has been wounded,” Annie stammered, “badly wounded. I went to visit him yesterday. He doesn't seem to be healing right and -”           “I see,” Lee interrupted. “Sorry to be curt, Miss, but as you can tell, we are really backed up here. This whole thing is completely out of hand. Terrible battle, just terrible. A complete disaster.” He paused for a moment. “So, let me ask you, were you able to you get a letter from a doctor?”           “Oh yes,” Annie brightened up. “Oh yes indeed, I -”           “Let me see it if you don't mind,” he interrupted.           Annie handed him the letter. He put on a pair of wire spectacles and puffed on his cigar as he read it carefully. He looked like he was in his late forties, with a large mustache, offset by a stubbly growth of hair. It wasn't an actual beard.  He just hadn't shaved for a few days. After a few moments, he put the paper in a pile and looked up at her.           “Well, Miss, uh, Franklin, is it? I assume you have the same last name as your brother?”           “Yes sir,” Annie said.           “It looks to me like everything is pretty much in order here,” he said and smiled. “I just have to pass this through a set of approvals and then get the actual furlough issued. I should be able to have it finished by the end of the day tomorrow. Why don't you stop by here at around about four o'clock in the afternoon and I should have everything ready for you.”           “Oh, thank you, sir, that's so wonderful,” Annie sighed with relief. “But are you sure it will be alright for me to come then? I was told that they don't let the public in here after three.”           “Oh no, that's just a general rule for people bringing new business. Don't worry about it. Four will be fine for you. If anyone stops you, just tell them you have an appointment with Captain Lee. They'll understand. It will be fine,” he said, waving her out of the office. He pulled out a new paper and called for the next person to enter.           “Thank you, Captain. Thank you so much,” Annie shouted back to him as she walked away. He never looked up or acknowledged her at all. He was already on to the next case.  *        *        *   “Well, that wasn't too bad,” Annie thought to herself on the ride back to Georgetown. “It was a long wait, and it took a lot of patience, but the captain was kind and he said I can pick up the furlough tomorrow. Thank God, Daniel and I will finally be on our way home.”           As the carriage made a turn, they passed the White House, and she started thinking about all of the psychic messages she had gotten over the last few months, saying that it was urgent for her to travel to Washington and meet with President Lincoln. The readings said that there was certain critical information that had to be delivered to him immediately, which could alter the course of the war and change history itself. She had been promised that all would go well if she just went to see him. But she had deep resistance to the idea. Interest in Spiritualism, with its emphasis on channelings through mediums, had swept through the country like wildfire since the early 1850s and there were large Spiritualist newspapers in every major city in America. But a legion of charlatans had sprung up as well, and it had gotten worse since the war had intensified, with grieving relatives willing to pay anything to contact their departed loved ones. It was easy pickings and phony quacks trying to cash in seemed to be popping up everywhere. And now, the spirit guides she channeled were telling her that she had to go present herself to Mr. Lincoln. She had been a sickly child and had very little schooling, so the idea of an uneducated nineteen-year-old girl who could barely read or write, telling the President that she had important information for him, seemed completely preposterous. She kept refusing to go, sure that she would be dismissed as some kind of lunatic. But at the end of a recent reading, she had been told that it was so important Lincoln receive this particular information that somehow, some way, she would be brought in to meet him face to face, regardless of what she thought.  As the White House disappeared from view, she put the idea of trying to see him out of her mind, for the thousandth time. She had come to Washington to take care of Daniel. That was her focus and it finally seemed to be going well.           When she got to the Harrison's front door, she stood outside for a moment and looked around at the stately Georgetown neighborhood. She had never seen anything like it. Actually, she had never been more than 30 miles from her home before. Now, suddenly she was in the nation's capital and the trip had opened her up to an entirely different world. But as stimulating as it was, she still couldn't wait to leave. Seeing all the poor, wounded soldiers in the field hospital had been devastating, and she just wanted to get Daniel out of there and back home, safe and sound. She took a breath and looked around optimistically. After delivering the doctor's letter to the officer at the War Department who looked at it with an approving eye, it seemed like she had real hope that Daniel's life could be saved. With that, this part of the story comes to a close, to be continued. But as the saying goes, “Strap on your seatbelt. It's going to be a bumpy ride...” And that's the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind, and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

One of the most shocking realities of scripture is that at the end of Solomon's life, he turned from God. This sobering study reminds us that "but for the grace of God, there go I…" Let us look over this chapter and be reminded of how it must be God that holds on to us, if we are to persevere. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    In verses 1 & 2, what was Solomon doing? According to verse 4, how was this affecting his relationship with the Lord? Why do you think this was so? 2.    Verse 5 says that Solomon also went after the false gods Ashtoreth and Milcom (aka Molech). What were these false gods about? Why would they have appealed to Solomon? How do people sometimes today go after “gods of our age” that promise something that we want?  3.    How was Solomon's life characterized in verse 6? How was that evidenced in verse 7?  4.    The podcast mentions that the hill that Solomon was doing this on was the Mount of Olives. How does God's future plans for the Mount of Olives show that God's holiness is not bound by mankind's evil?  5.    As this chapter unfolds, what judgment does God bring upon Solomon and his kingdom?  6.    What did the Lord tell Jeroboam in verse 29? Given that Jeroboam is unrelated to David, what is so startling about these promises? 7.    The podcast mentions that there is one key promise that is missing from God's promises to Jeroboam. What was it? Why is that so critical in understanding the plan of God?  8.    The podcast lays out Solomon's spiritual decline. What were the stages that went into it? How could it have been prevented?  9.    Is there any warnings about Solomon that are applicable to your life? What steps should you take to deal with them by God's grace and the transforming power of His Spirit?  Check out our new Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

00:00.00 mikebledsoe Welcome to Monday morning with Mike and max and today we're gonna be talking about how to make better decisions using using vision values and boundaries and I'll tell you what we've already gotten into some interesting conversation before we fired up the mics and that's why we decided we need to just get this show started right now because we were getting. Often to some interesting weeds because we'll probably talk about genetics as well. How you doing max. 00:25.52 Max Shank I'm doing good man I'm excited to talk about this I think that the more wealth you get the more time you can spend and the less overall decisions. You must make. Ah, investing is a good example of that where you have a really high amount of Leverage. So Every decision is very significant and the precision. Ah and accuracy of those decisions is amplified because a small error one way or the other can really. Increase the cost and reduce the benefit. So all the way from deciding what to pull out of the fridge to eat and deciding which company to invest to and which partner to Choose. It's the most important thing ever and a lot of things influence your decision making. 01:15.34 mikebledsoe Yeah, one of the things that brought this up for me is I I have this whole. Ah I have a lot of momentum in my life to travel and there's a lot of events and ah. I I started to notice that I desire to attend less and less things and spend more time at home and really honing in on what's really important and what's not important in getting into these conversations with my girlfriend and really noticing you know. You know if you have no vision and you're trying to make decisions then you're really doomed to the momentum of the past you're not gonna create anything new Consciously. So well, there's 2 factors here. You're you're gonna repeat the past and. And the patterns of the past. But also you're way more susceptible to other people's visions. So if somebody else is intentionally creating a vision and you're being impacted by that and you've created no vision whatsoever for yourself then you you probably won't even notice. That you they you may wonder how did I get to this place in my life. Well you it was a mixture of repeating your your historical patterns and the historical patterns of others and the intentional vision of others as well. 02:45.94 Max Shank It doesn't sound good. That's for sure. ah ah I totally relate on the traveling thing as you know I traveled like an absolute maniac for many years 02:51.43 mikebledsoe Ah, don't be a sucker. 03:04.96 Max Shank I think I was like ah like a street cred Conquistador I would go to different cities around the world and I would teach the Holy Gospel of whatever I knew at the time and pretend like it was this. Massive Authority and people responded favorably to that which was so weird I can't I can't explain what that shift was like because I rose up so fast from being a personal trainer. Going to attend certifications to being only a couple years older and teaching those certifications and I was just trying to grab as much alphaness and street cred and want people to love Me. Maybe even Adoration I think. 03:58.82 mikebledsoe I got there I think. 04:00.43 Max Shank And right and that was what I saw as the best model the people who were the best in health and fitness industry were the ones who wrote the books and flew around the world teaching seminars and. I've always been one to ah hit the eject button really fast as soon as the appropriate catalyst is there so I went from 20 to 30 trips a year flying and teaching all over to 0 within one weekend. Just chose I was like wow I don't think I actually like this I just want people to like me more than other people. How greedy does that sound I want people to like me way more than other people. So I'm going to keep sacrificing whatever i. Actually want to do and might have fun with and might be ah sustainable or I can you know keep doing this thing where I I just hope people will love me if I do it good enough. 05:11.55 mikebledsoe Yeah, oh what's your relationship to compliments. 05:16.64 Max Shank Ah I would have to get one first but ah I would imagine if someone did give me a compliment I would deflect it I would deflect it humorously. 05:27.62 mikebledsoe Max you're you're so you not. So would you say maybe you you started getting compliments and you you didn't like it. 05:38.27 Max Shank Um I started feeling exposed ah like people would just it was so weird, almost everywhere I go people would recognize me like on the street or in a store and that was a. 05:42.20 mikebledsoe Ah, by right? You're getting more attention and you felt exposed. 05:53.95 mikebledsoe Yeah. 05:58.50 Max Shank Was a total mind fuck and I'm I'm like in the big scheme of things compared to Bill Murray or something like that I'm nobody but just being recognized when you think you're a stranger in a crowd it. It was a total mind fuck I mean I didn't. 06:16.23 mikebledsoe You're not yes. 06:17.10 Max Shank It wasn't like harmful that part but I had to fortunately I had the luxury to reevaluate how I wanted to live my life and I realized I I didn't want to be hustling around on planes and in and out of hotels and so. 06:33.57 mikebledsoe So yeah, what? what? ah was can you think of what what created that because usually there's sometime of real a birthday. 06:36.18 Max Shank The boundary came up really fast and I've. 06:43.49 Max Shank Is Birth Birth is birthday I do some good introspection around birthdays and I I went to the Bahamas with a good friend of mine and it was no I didn't work at all. And it was that was rare and I just hung out on the beach and I ran around and played games and went on water slides I was like wow this is this is really fun and it's not because ah you know later I'll get more if I do a good job. 07:19.33 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 07:22.32 Max Shank It was just fun. Yeah, so. 07:28.69 Max Shank You know what catalyst means something that causes or accelerates a reaction without changing and I thought that was really I just looked this up the other day. 07:32.83 mikebledsoe No no. 07:42.88 mikebledsoe Would that be like ah an enzyme that that would would cause the change but maintains its own attributes. Interesting. 07:46.54 Max Shank Exactly. Yeah, and I had never known that before and it was such a cool thing because I realized that's what I would Ah, that's how I would like to do things ah from ah. I would say from a teaching perspective but that's not really the full story because actually one of the best things about teaching is that you do ah become changed quite a lot from the different variety of students that you interact with yeah. 08:20.16 mikebledsoe But I've learned more teaching never did from sitting in a room. Yeah. 08:25.63 Max Shank So it so it doesn't really make sense that way but I definitely think the concept of a catalyst is really cool. It's like you don't have to give some of yourself and diminish yourself so that you can create that reaction again. 08:27.99 mikebledsoe I think I think being a. 08:35.23 mikebledsoe Totally, there's ah, there's a conversation we have in my strong coach curriculum early on which is creating distinctions so you have you have definitions of words but you also have distinctions and that means that. And the reason we have those is because in in our society people tend to collapse the definitions of 2 words because they don't actually know the definitions and they don't create a distinction between the two and we talk about service and sacrifice and how that's a very common collapse distinction in the. 08:59.46 Max Shank Right. 09:09.83 Max Shank Um, yeah. 09:13.33 mikebledsoe Entrepreneurial world. Um, it's it's ah if you look at the different cat The you know the the Us caste system. You know we got our different classes of people and so the the blue collar class which is what. 09:29.31 Max Shank Um, yeah. 09:31.88 mikebledsoe But I came from is the service and sacrifice are almost sine synonymous right? and they ah they get those words are interchanged. You know part of that's part of that's a. 09:37.77 Max Shank And. 09:51.30 mikebledsoe Probably due to christianity and you know Jesus Christ as as the servant that made the greatest sacrifice I imagine that's put together. Also, if also if. 09:53.61 Max Shank Yeah. 10:02.52 Max Shank It's a more compelling story. It's a more compelling So story if you sacrifice yourself. Um I don't think it's a healthy attitude. But I think a lot of people are under the impression that if you are wounded in some way in the service of others. Then you get a little bit more street cred and it it does make a more compelling story. 10:23.56 mikebledsoe There's there's it's it's noble and you should be proud and that's yeah, so it this what I notice after working you know digging around at a bunch of people's minds. 10:27.93 Max Shank A martyr. 10:39.52 mikebledsoe And I've worked with people who ah, most of the people I've worked with come from a blue collar background or their parents were in some way and a handful of people who grew up in homes where you know, ah the relationship to money was very different. The the way they lived. Their lives were very different things were. 10:57.89 Max Shank A. 10:57.93 mikebledsoe Little easier and they don't have that collapse distinction. They they go Oh this is service and the sacrifice these are different things I've I've taught people this before and in a room and some people are like yeah duh. It's like oh tell me about how you grew up. Okay, oh someone who's. 11:08.19 Max Shank Man. 11:14.54 Max Shank No. 11:17.36 mikebledsoe Who goes Oh my God that was a huge exercise for me. It's like oh how did you grow up interesting here and so also if you're if you're somebody who's in power. So say you're you're running a country or something like that if you can convince the lower class people that. Must sacrifice in order to be of service and if you're not being of service then you're a leech on society and you don't feel good about yourself If You're not sacrificing So It's a really good story to tell in order to get people to enlist in the military.. It's a really good story to tell. 11:42.93 Max Shank Um, yeah. 11:55.87 mikebledsoe People to sign up for all sorts of jobs where you may lose your life or a limb or is incredibly demanding of your time and energy. And yeah, it's the more I've dug into this the more. Disgusting. It seems in some ways. Um, if it's being used intentionally now if it's if this is just like the unintentional use of language over time and so on and so Forth. Then you know there's you know there's there's intentional use of it. 12:15.73 Max Shank It is. 12:24.80 Max Shank Um. 12:32.90 mikebledsoe Which would be considered Evil There's the the ignorance. Maybe they're just being ignorant is ignorant use of it. Which means that you know ignorance and laziness go hand in hand because Ignorance is ah the activity of ignoring. So The the. Information is present but you choose to ignore it because it's uncomfortable and lazy people tend to avoid discomfort and then and then you yeah I mean well well, there's. 12:52.93 Max Shank Ah. 13:03.87 Max Shank Doesn't everybody devoid Avoid discomfort though I mean I don't want people to have a complex if they feel lazy Lazy is the natural state lazy and ignorant are the instinctual states which I think we can talk about more later. 13:10.96 mikebledsoe Well, there's well, there's well, there's I agree. Totally totally totally. So then you have so you have intentional. You have ignorant and then and then you have just nation. 13:20.95 Max Shank Yeah. 13:28.65 mikebledsoe Which means that you just have not been exposed to the information at all and so I like that create distinctions between nations and or nasance and and ignorance because ignorance is you've been presented with the information and you've ignored it. So. 13:31.73 Max Shank Right. 13:44.37 Max Shank Um, that's so interesting I bet a lot of people think of ignorant as they don't know which is different than ignore and like you're ignoring as an active choice I I think that's ah, really interesting. You bring that up. 13:46.62 mikebledsoe Of. Yeah, yeah, or it. Yeah. Exactly. 14:04.37 Max Shank I bet because I used to use ignorant that way too like oh I was ignorant like I didn't know but it's more that I knew and ignored it that is a huge shift in that word. Huge. 14:08.77 mikebledsoe Well here's the other thing is ah huge huge difference and a lot of people are ignoring things that they'll claim their nation to like oh I just didn't know it's like no that that was sitting there. You know there was. 14:21.25 Max Shank Got it I didn't know. Yeah. 14:28.20 mikebledsoe So like it's like walking into a room and there's ah, there's an elephant in the corner and you're for some reason you just don't notice it. It's like no it. It's been sitting there. Yeah talking about the elephant in the room right? that some people are surprised. Yeah, people are surprised by it. 14:37.37 Max Shank Right? And how do you choose? What information is significant because you have to yeah so you might be ignorant with the best of intentions right? thinking? Oh that's not important right? that's. 14:48.50 mikebledsoe For instance, the last the last two years with the best of intentions. 14:56.37 Max Shank Where you and I ah like we come across that word evil and so my guess is there are lots of people in the world. Ah, who are real busybodies and they think that if they can just kill 1000000000 they'll save the other 6000000000 or some some kind of fraction. 14:59.19 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 15:15.12 Max Shank Like that I don't know look that seems and here's the thing here's that no, we'll just kill. Ah, one of them like an unceremonious random one because if you truly believe if you have the power and you truly believe. 15:15.48 mikebledsoe Will we'll kill the 6 bad ones or the one bat about 1000000000 bad people. 15:34.82 Max Shank That the world is totally fucked unless you do something you're going to feel a lot of pain all day every day until you resolve that problem and if you have in your mind only a couple choices you'll say do I Let all. 15:52.67 mikebledsoe And I got I got multiple phone I got multiple phone calls. Let me let me pause this I got a potential emergency. 15:53.29 Max Shank The whole planet die or do I kill 1000000000 people 16:00.50 Max Shank Okay, all right? So basically we have this kind of a situation. We have people who are thinking that they must save the world because they really believe the world or all of humanity itself will be destroyed. They have the power to enact the changes that they think will make that difference and they are faced with a choice of let's say kill 1000000000 to save the other six I can understand why they would a do it and b. Not think themselves. Evil. 16:39.82 mikebledsoe Yeah, this ah have you ever watched cloud atlas with Tom Hanks oh man 1 of my favorite movies of all time. Yeah, it's a long one. It's like three and half hours it it didn't get a lot of attention when it came out because. 16:45.75 Max Shank No oh really, that's cool. Ah. 16:59.90 mikebledsoe It's deeply philosophical and you have to pay attention to what's going on for a long period of time so you have to have an attention span which means that you know almost nobody saw it and ah yeah. Yeah there's just a part in the movie where it's it's all about like people controlling other groups of people and oppressing other people and it was highlighting and it's and it's many different timelines. It's like something that was happening five hundred years ago and something else that was happening. 17:24.78 Max Shank That's human culture in a nutshell. 17:33.65 Max Shank The. 17:36.50 mikebledsoe You know something was happening in the 70 s something was happening currently. There's some and then it's the it's 300 years in the future and there's these different timelines that are all over like the the energy and the patterns were overlapping and basically there was a ah. 17:41.55 Max Shank Ah. 17:55.28 mikebledsoe Period of time where they were looking at when there were slaves there was you know white people were enslaving black people and all that and you know there's a a part in the movie where you know it's like hey we should probably stop this and then but leading up to that The guys that believed him is like oh it's our it's our divine purpose. You know. 18:13.30 Max Shank Oh yeah. 18:14.81 mikebledsoe God has told us to go and conquer these people and the same thing happened when you know people come to America and you know it's like we're gonna take this land. It's like yeah, there's there's some brown people here. But you know we we could probably just take this land. You know there's they're paid for the greater. Good. 18:21.57 Max Shank Yeah. 18:30.10 Max Shank For the greater good by the grace of God for the greater good by the grace of God here we are give us your stuff God God Thanks you for your donation. It's like would you pit. 18:34.57 mikebledsoe For the greater. Good. Yeah yeah, now now it's the greater good by the grace of science. You know it's the same thing. Yeah, yeah, and so. 18:49.73 Max Shank Ah, Mercenaries against Missionaries That's the one I think of the the missionaries will be biting the heads off biting the faces off of the mercenaries to sacrifice to the blood god. 18:53.91 mikebledsoe Ah. 19:04.83 Max Shank All the mercenaries are high-tailing it out of there because the pay is just not good enough. 19:10.47 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah, so you you're talking about. Yeah these people are bought in and I think that a lot of people like if you look at the media. For instance I Think most of these quote unquote journalists are are completely bought in that. 19:11.52 Max Shank So you get these true believers. Any price. 19:28.41 mikebledsoe What they're doing is for the greater good I saw a clip was I saw a clip of ah you know everyone's art pissed off about not everyone just just people on the left are pissed off about Elon Musk offering to buy Twitter did you hear about this. Are you following it all. 19:28.74 Max Shank Absolutely. 19:37.50 Max Shank Ah. 19:43.67 Max Shank Um, I'm actually still really upset about the George Floyd thing I haven't moved on since that 1 news point I haven't really made up my mind about it yet. So I can't move on to the any new any news points. 19:54.13 mikebledsoe Oh you're stuck here have you watched any Tv since then. Okay, so so Elon Musk ah he purchases 9% of Twitter you know it's a public. 20:00.62 Max Shank No no I'm just still trying to work out this mystery. 20:09.15 Max Shank I did hear about it by the way I was just making a joke then he offers to buy the whole thing. 20:12.93 mikebledsoe Okay, well fill people in he he purchases 9% of Twitter and well then and then ah you know if he owns 15 % 15% he can you know actually make some demands like he his voice must be hurt. So they offer him a board position like oh why don't you join the board and if you're on the board you can make suggestions but you can't make demands and but you can't own more than fifteen fourteen point nine five of the stocks and you go and he goes. 20:44.13 Max Shank Right? As a board member. 20:49.13 mikebledsoe I don't want to be a board member then and then he turns around offers $43000000000 for the entire company which is more than the value of the company that no one else is gonna purchase it for that amount and. 20:52.74 Max Shank Incredible. 20:58.77 Max Shank It it. It has to be Ah, it's really interesting situation because he um rightly understands that that is the the lead horse. On the winner take all of small instant public messages. 21:15.62 mikebledsoe Yes, yeah, it's it's the it's you know I on I'm on. Yeah um. 21:20.42 Max Shank They banned the president they they took they took free speech away from the president. That's supposed to be everybody gets free speech but because they became the platform. A new platform above the old platform of pen and paper and people talking to each other. They put a blanket of this new platform over everything and they're like this is where we talk now this is where the point gets across really quickly. Ah, it's not that different than. 21:47.13 mikebledsoe Yeah. 21:55.80 Max Shank These guys trying to buy newspapers. It's just a similar play to control the flow of information. It's basic. It's basic war out there and that's nature. Yeah conflict baby. 22:03.91 mikebledsoe Yeah, oh it's definitely war. Yeah so ah, people a lot of people I was reading something this morning. It's pretty interesting is like it's like you know, yeah, a lot of people. There's primarily the left for. The political left people were saying they were they were defending Twitter as a private privately owned company that can do whatever it wants so censorship is okay, Elon Musk wants to buy it then they start freaking out that he's going to let everyone say whatever they want and. 22:29.73 Max Shank Big. 22:39.41 mikebledsoe That something that the government needs to step in and do something about Elon Musk buying Twitter it's like they want their cake and eat it too. They can't there's there's ah there's a foundational lack of fund of of a principle because it's it's whatever, whatever serves their. 22:41.18 Max Shank The. 22:52.21 Max Shank Um, it's pure Lizard man. Yeah. 22:59.28 mikebledsoe Whatever they want in the moment they'll leverage. Whatever it takes to get there. The means justify the ends and. 23:03.21 Max Shank Their identity is the tribe So whatever helps the tribe justifies the means basically it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's for the good of our tribe and we're good and those other guys way over there. They're bad. So if you censor the bad guys. 23:09.72 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 23:22.48 Max Shank It's good. But if you censor nobody. It's bad by that very twisted logic. 23:24.17 mikebledsoe Yeah, because yeah, very interesting. Yeah, so for the greater good. Um, you know I I do find it interesting that ah people really I mean I believe in Elon must having. Good intentions over somebody in government because he is actually contributing to society by his his behavior instead of just trying to take and redistribute. Um, so yeah, same. 23:44.10 Max Shank Yeah. 23:53.00 Max Shank On principle I like pie Makers more than pie slicers. Yeah, what do you? What do you bring into the table I think it's ah the difference between offers and orders. That's where the line is. 24:01.52 mikebledsoe So How how did I. A a. 24:11.13 Max Shank Line between an offer and an order where an order means do this or you are going to be punished with the stick or a fine or whatever and an offer is do this come on. You know you want to do this, do it. It'll be really good for you and. 24:25.53 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 24:28.80 Max Shank You can get as persuasive as you want to get but there's no, there's no threat of direct violence or attack on your person with an offer. That's why I like that. 24:38.31 mikebledsoe Yeah I saw this mean this morning I reposted on my Instagram it's got ah it's got 4 different things and it says what makes sex not rape consent choice consent. 24:49.12 Max Shank Choice. Yeah yeah. 24:55.77 mikebledsoe What makes a job not slavery consent. What makes a transaction not robbery consent. What makes taxation not theft magical fairy dust. 24:58.57 Max Shank Um, yeah. 25:04.20 Max Shank Um, yep. 25:11.94 Max Shank Ah, and I knew we were going there. 25:15.31 mikebledsoe Well today's tax day. So ah I always kept I have to post so taxing every every what's the eighteenth. But ah, ah, they made today the tax day since Friday was the fifteenth. 25:17.71 Max Shank Yeah, well people just think that they're so clever. 25:28.57 Max Shank It takes a special kind of person to think that they know best not only for themselves. But for everybody else and it takes an even more special kind of person to be unwilling to try to sell people on the idea that they have and instead force it upon them violently. 25:45.52 mikebledsoe For your own good. You're greater. Well I think I think it it's It's a slippery. It's slippery because people I think that's a much easier argument to make is if I say Max I Know what's good for you. 25:46.50 Max Shank But it's like it's like you don't believe in the product man. 26:04.55 mikebledsoe That's very arguable. It's like I don't know if you know my entire situation. You don't you know you don't know about this. 26:07.40 Max Shank Yeah, there are definitely situations where you might know better for me than me, no question. It's just we won't know when that is we just won't know when that is. 26:14.67 mikebledsoe Yeah, some situations? Yeah, but but then what's good for the greater good is an extrapolation of that that I know what's good for you and then it becomes homogenized too. It's like. I know it's good for most of the people. So we're gonna do this and it's like yeah, it's 1 per 1 person has you know people give 1 person that power and it's it's really insane. 26:47.67 Max Shank It's exactly about that control because the whole purpose of groups in the first place is chaos reduction or at least reducing the negative impact of chaos on the collective. So whether it's ah, a group of ah chimps or a nation state of some kind the the concept or the idea of it in the first place is to reduce the chaos. So homogenization is the logical. Ah. Endpoint of that where everybody's exactly the same. Ah totally fungible, interchangeable. We have. We have one billion we have 1000000000 persons they do this and this and this and they do this at this time and this at this time and this at this time. 27:32.36 mikebledsoe You're just a number folks. 27:41.15 Max Shank And we always know where exactly everybody is just like ah a dairy farm with a bunch of chipped animals. So. 27:45.10 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, and I think up until this point the Homogenation um Homogenation homogenization. Thank you? Ah, it has been the most efficient way of creating order out of chaos or disorder. 27:54.21 Max Shank Homogenization. 28:01.56 Max Shank By definition. It is by definition. Yeah. 28:04.78 mikebledsoe Yeah, um, but then if if we look at the Homogen is it is a nation you have to tell me this work ah of chickens right? They've got ah I learned about this this past week and I was talking to some farmers and that's what I do. 28:11.25 Max Shank Um, homogenization. Yeah. Course you are on ah on the weekend to just me and some farmers hanging out. 28:21.89 mikebledsoe That's what I do at festivals I Hang out with farmers chicken out chicken it eating some of the meat Egg Grew Um, and you know they were talking about the the common chicken you find at the Gar Grot grocery store is the. 28:35.23 Max Shank A. 28:38.64 mikebledsoe The meat has gotten to the point where you're not actually digesting and getting the protein out of like a typical chicken breast and yeah, so there's they've they basically bread for this one particular chicken that can barely even walk right? because the chickens are bred for. 28:44.00 Max Shank What. 28:54.31 Max Shank But yeah, um. 28:57.91 mikebledsoe Weight and I don't I'd learned this to they now are getting these chickens up to full weight for slaughter and 6 to eight weeks after they hatch so now. Basically these chickens you know. 29:08.50 Max Shank Wow. 29:14.99 mikebledsoe They stand up real well against feeding them soy and corn. They they get fat. Really they put on weight really fast but the meat is of really low quality and ah and. 29:18.89 Max Shank Ah. 29:26.51 Max Shank Like the Amino acid profile or something you mean. 29:30.76 mikebledsoe Yeah I know if it's they it was something about how the meat grows it almost turns into fiber versus protein like it should be protein but it's like a protein. 29:37.30 Max Shank Okay, that's that's weird. They're changing protein to a carb somehow. 29:42.48 mikebledsoe No, it's not a car but they're saying like it's it's it's not digestible. It's too fibrous like that. Yeah, the meat is too fibrous. So and the other thing is there are 2 I'm sure someone can let me know they they may know more details about this. 29:49.28 Max Shank Indigestible protein weird. 30:03.12 mikebledsoe They're down to like 2 types of chicken that are being grown so you get 1 type of aviary flu comes in and just wipes them all out now we're out of chicken. So like you know them being single pain of. 30:15.78 Max Shank It goes back to the single point of failure thing we were talking about last week 30:21.16 mikebledsoe So if you homogenize too much. It only takes one disaster and then and then you and then it's ultimate chaos which is you know devastation? Yeah that that could but unless I mean and. 30:25.50 Max Shank Yeah, unless there's redundancy built into that central system right? but but it's like diversification right? The more you diversify the more um cushion you have. 30:40.28 mikebledsoe But it's not good. 30:44.77 Max Shank But the less of ah the less you diversify the further you can go in a single direction back to the comparative advantage example. 30:48.71 mikebledsoe Yeah, absolutely yeah, so just it seems like to Mobgenize is is a good thing but there's also potential downfalls and so I mean we we already talked about decentralization versus centralization and and how things are moving and how. 31:02.22 Max Shank Yeah. 31:08.39 mikebledsoe Things in the future may not need to be so homogenized in order for to create order. We're talking about order and yeah through more complex technology I think I think we need less of that. 31:22.90 Max Shank Well, when it comes to decision making having ah rules of the game is really important if you want to make a decision in a sport or a game of some kind the rules need to be consistent and they need to be understood by everybody. For the game to work So That's part of what makes conversation so challenging for people who have been raised any time in the current Era. There's a lot of contention and there's not a lot of collaboration. There's not a lot of ability to have an expansive and collaborative argument rather than a combative argument. You know you and I argue the validity of different points looking for a truth. Or a better representative of the truth rather than having a combative argument where I'm trying to prove that a is right? and you're trying to prove prove that B is right and we already talked about how people will go to any means necessary to support their point. Even wishing the censorship or possibly murder of other people if they don't believe the the truth the same truth that they believe so being able to have the rules of the game. The rules of discourse the rules of. The locale clear and simple enough to be understood and effectively used by all is a prerequisite for us to be able to play the game. Ah consistently and joyfully. 33:06.50 mikebledsoe Yeah, well I think there's there's 1 thing we agree on that allows for differing opinions to come in and we're able to work through it that is we we don't we're not confused about what's right? And what's wrong like we we have an agreement on that. 33:22.90 Max Shank Well oh no I think they're I. 33:26.35 mikebledsoe And so because you were saying your time Out. You know I think there's the right way to do or the wrong way. But I I think that we both agree that something that is right is something that doesn't impede on somebody else's life or Liberty and if any anything that isn't. Trampling on somebody else's ability to live their life and the way they wish is totally right? That's right and anything that is trampling on someone else's life and Liberty is wrong and so everything else? Well, That's that's trampling over someone's life and Liberty but that's wrong. 33:49.25 Max Shank Right. 33:54.89 Max Shank Um, unless they murder 10 people right? right? right. 34:04.11 mikebledsoe So so I think that we you and I both have a pretty clear understanding about what is right and wrong and anything that's not wrong is right? and so the ah and not only is it right? but it is a right right? I Think that's where rights come from. 34:19.86 Max Shank Right? right. 34:23.85 mikebledsoe So if I'm not doing something wrong. That means I'm not stealing from you I'm not taking your property I'm not enslaving you and I'm not killing you then anything I do outside of that is a right and we both understand that that's where we have agreement and I think because of that. 34:30.73 Max Shank Yeah. True. 34:42.44 mikebledsoe We understand that everything outside of that is an opinion and I think a lot of people they confuse the morality of right and wrong with their opinions and I think you and I have both been able to be. 34:53.48 Max Shank Oh. 35:00.66 mikebledsoe Clearly have that in our mind that yeah this is what I'm holding right now isn't about right and wrong. It's just about it's an opinion or if it is right or wrong then it's ah, there's a very solid foundation in which that conversation is existing on so it's very easy to work through. 35:08.80 Max Shank Ah. 35:16.90 Max Shank The question is really do the ends justify the means is it is the juice worth the squeeze is the benefit greater than the cost and that's where it gets way harder to tell because you you could make a wrong choice. Ah, for yourself and not know that you're making it and I think that happens all the time so we need to find a way to harmonize the instinct and the intellect because I know I'd come back to this a lot. But. Usually when people are angry or sad or over emotional. It's It's some version of afraid and they're in that lizard Brain Mode. So they might react instinctively they might. Yell or fight or run or cry or something like that when they feel afraid but only because they're in Lizard Mode. So I think a lot of folks don't even give themselves a chance myself included at times in the past I I Remember. Aftermath of making choices that way but in the moment you're like somewhat unaware of the fact that you're making these choices that in normal Circumstances. You would intellectually know this is probably not going to give me a better result. 36:48.54 mikebledsoe Yeah. 36:51.10 Max Shank So finding a way to harmonize the intellect and the instinct and use the intellect to channel the instinctive drives rather than sporadic explosions of instinct. 37:05.84 mikebledsoe Yeah, the I like the idea of channeling instinct because that when I think about Instinct I Think about um Instinct is something that you can't actually put words to. Because it's It's something that wells up inside of your body. It's preverbal these are and we look at animals they're operating we say they're operating on Instinct because there is no language for you know and that's not necessarily always True. We can listen to these wells and dolphins and. 37:25.60 Max Shank Oh. 37:39.50 Max Shank It's like programmed desire basically because Hunger is a form of desire sex is a form of desire safety is a form of desire. So there's you know pain is a synonym for all those things but there's a genetic pre-programmed in all of us. 37:40.99 mikebledsoe Yeah. 37:56.92 Max Shank Common ground where there's no question about the origin of these things This is something that is shared by pretty much all living creatures and so how do you take that Raw instinct and. 38:05.70 mikebledsoe Um. 38:14.65 Max Shank Channel it with greater precision into a place that you want being able to project further into the future can be really a frightening experience for people I think. 38:24.88 mikebledsoe Well yeah, so so the instinct instinct coming from the body from you know the the brain stem essentially not coming from the prefrontal cortex where the intellectual mind lives and where language is formed. 38:41.51 Max Shank My instinct is in my root Chakra Mine's way lower. 38:43.19 mikebledsoe Is the moment. It's way lower. Yeah and we'll say from your your throat shock or down is it will is that instinct. Yeah yeah. 38:54.24 Max Shank His instinct Huh That's a good way to put it. 39:01.11 mikebledsoe Once you you get the intellect in your third eye. So that's that's that's actually I haven't used those words to describe it when I think about all the energy that exists below My third eye is there you if you try to put language to it. You're gonna fail. So the. 39:01.92 Max Shank Yeah. 39:20.55 mikebledsoe The the mind the intellect must translate the instinct. So the instinct is to do this or that but the mind is what tells the body that there is time there was a yesterday and there's a tomorrow. And there's a separation between Mike and max. It's the mind that yeah, it's the mind that creates this so now what you have the instinct is is so primal and without words you know we're just animals and so when we when these. 39:39.92 Max Shank The scorekeeper. 39:53.22 Max Shank Yeah. 39:57.42 mikebledsoe Words come online and we have these incredibly strong instincts. This energy is flowing and if we don't know how to use our words if our if our vocabulary is limited. 40:03.71 Max Shank Oh. 40:12.50 mikebledsoe If We have no practice in changing how we think by changing the language in which we think in and not mean English versus Spanish I'm saying using expanding the vocabulary using different words understanding. Actually what you're saying and do you understand. And all the words that you you use yourself most people I think are running around using words that they're confused about and because they're confused about it. They're confusing people around them. So There's a whole culture of people who don't really know what they're talking about. And I think that's the majority of Americans in the least. Um I Do it too. So. 40:51.44 Max Shank I Do it all the time I would say unless I'm very specific and deliberate and I want to make a very distinct point I let the conversation flow. Normally and I use all kinds of words and metaphors where I don't have a crystal clear definition of what I'm saying like with the word ignorant I had never thought about ignorant as being an active ignore ignoring I always thought about it as just a ah passive not knowing. And that's monumentally different. 41:31.74 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, and the the take this further is the the mind is having to translate to the body to the to the instinct and even train the instinct to a bit because. The Instinct wants Instant gratification. It wants what it wants right now and the mind has to step in and go whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa If We get what we want right now we won't have We won't be able to have it tomorrow and we won't be able to have it. 41:51.87 Max Shank Ah, right. 42:05.84 Max Shank Right? So it's like putting a leash. It's like putting a leash on the instinct and the shorter and shorter the leash the less it's running wild but sometimes it can be pretty fun to let your instincts run wild. Especially if you can. 42:10.44 mikebledsoe You got it? True Yeah, totally to. 42:22.56 Max Shank Really turn it off because I think that is equal and opposite damaging to have your entire life tightly controlled by your intellect and you'll feel like the weight of the future is unrelenting. 42:32.30 mikebledsoe Absolutely. 42:39.50 mikebledsoe Absolutely yeah and I think there are ah really healthy ways of letting that Instinct run wild. There's you can create containers for that. Um I've had the experience of just going full animal. Ah. 42:51.10 Max Shank O. 42:58.17 mikebledsoe Down in Columbia on this really big piece of property where I drink a little bit of yaha which is this incredibly powerful Psychedelic medicine and then I basically stripped down Buckna and run around the Sat sun roaring in the and the jungle like that's about. But. 43:15.88 Max Shank Everybody else got a clear picture of that I Sure do. 43:16.61 mikebledsoe I Also know that I'm supposed to say yeah. 43:21.59 mikebledsoe Um, so that so the ah so there was a clear boundary I knew that I was not supposed to leave the property but within that you know I was. 43:34.28 Max Shank M. 43:39.42 mikebledsoe Able to completely let loose and you know turn into a Jaguar and do all that shit. So ah I've had to that's like my peak instinct tapping into instinct experience that I've had and then reintegrating that's interesting. But it's the integration back into the mind and the mind now has to translate what the instinct is asking for into language which is an incredibly difficult task and so my opinion is. 44:12.42 Max Shank M. 44:15.90 mikebledsoe You would. You'll never be able to perfectly articulate to yourself or to somebody else the experience of Instinct and by yeah, but you can get more accurate over time. 44:26.92 Max Shank It's like trying to walk a mile in someone else's shoes you you can't do it. 44:34.45 mikebledsoe You can expand your vocabulary. You can have a longer conversation with someone you can get somebody closer to it and you can get yourself closer to it but to get to the absolute truth of what it is. It's not possible. But I think it's a worthy task to to do as good as as possible at doing that. And so because you're in my instincts are probably very much the same I mean instincts amongst species of animals are very Similar. We know that dogs do these dog things and it's out of Instinct Dear do these deer things out of Instinct fish so on and so forth. But what makes us different. I Think why why humans are live such diverse lifestyles and there's such diverse. Um expressions of the instinct is because it's each person is interpreting their instinct through this this mind and. The mind is you know trying to control the the instinct and direct it and all this stuff. Um, so. 45:37.62 Max Shank The prediction protection machine comes in a lot of different ah models right? Still your parents teachers peers media culture. Whatever are like okay here's your intellectual filter and then you go from being this. 45:42.38 mikebledsoe Exactly yeah. 45:55.94 Max Shank Little creature that doesn't have any language at all that just grabs stuff and puts things in its mouth and you know rolls around and now suddenly you're talking and you're saying this is good and this is bad and so now your third eye is the scorekeeper and the rule maker. Based on whatever you've been taught. 46:16.37 mikebledsoe yeah yeah yeah I don't know if that's a I know I said third eye don't know if it's the exact or your third eye is ah to me is is when all the energy comes into a single point and then you can direct you can direct your attention. So I don't see a third eye as a thinker. 46:28.87 Max Shank Um, um, ah that's that's a little different. Ok so you're so your intellect your intellect then. 46:36.32 mikebledsoe Yeah, it's a little different. Yeah, but you got us around a shak room. So I was trying to make sense of it but I wanted to correct that for myself. Yeah, which is I think that's different so but I think that's that's 1 thing that that I think that separates. 46:46.80 Max Shank Yeah, it's interesting to think about projection. 46:54.91 mikebledsoe People from one another is. It's that intellectual mind because I can never explain you my experience then then I know that max will never understand me completely and I can tell you a story. 46:58.30 Max Shank M. 47:06.81 Max Shank Yeah, you can tell me a story though and the better the better you are at communicating that story and the better I am at clarifying. Ah my interpretation with questions. The. 47:24.21 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 47:24.22 Max Shank Clearer The communication will be and it's the same thing for the stories that we tell ourselves not just other people right? Um, it's so easy to have different milestones. 47:32.40 mikebledsoe Yeah. 47:42.12 Max Shank In your story that are told in a way that makes you into a victor or a victim for example and I know it's not always binary. But I think everybody listening including you and I has. Recognized people who at every point in their life was a tragedy the way they retell the story at least and you've heard other people in life where everything was a victory. It was ah it was always coming up jackpot for this person and then you're with them and you're like this doesn't. 48:06.39 mikebledsoe Hey. 48:19.75 Max Shank Actually seem like the same story I was being told and so it's very interesting and I wonder how genetic predisposition is like that um like being gay is genetic right? no. 48:21.67 mikebledsoe Yeah. 48:37.95 mikebledsoe I I think it's I think genetic? What? ah. 48:39.42 Max Shank Yeah, you oh god here we go Mike Mike Bled so thinks being gay as a choice send your hate mail to Mike Underscore Blesco Aty at Instagram. 48:54.37 mikebledsoe Um, ah. 48:55.71 Max Shank I Hope you're ready for your inbox to be destroyed you hateful Homophobic bastard. 49:03.25 mikebledsoe Ah, oh man. 49:05.53 Max Shank Ah, you are practically a nazi you're practically hitler I can't believe you said that I'm so sorry for Mike everybody ah dear god. 49:18.93 mikebledsoe Oh man, you know I I don't know Well we talk about this before the show is like the semantics matter because because we've talked about this before the the. 49:21.11 Max Shank Ah, so let's so. 49:29.56 Max Shank Um, what is and what isn't what is and what isn't. 49:37.58 mikebledsoe I was listening to a story from somebody the other day that said you know that our the Dna sequence of a human and the sea creature is more alike than you know a human in ah in a chimpanzee and that immediately clued me into everyone's mind went to like oh my god. We're more like sea creatures than we thought and my mind immediately goes to. We're studying the wrong shit like these scientists are they they've missed the boat on something because they're really focused on this Dna thing when obviously that's not what's causing the expression of of ah of our reality. 50:14.65 Max Shank Like child soldier spelling Gee champion. Yeah. 50:15.40 mikebledsoe And so you know that's why I pause with the genetics and there's there's way more variables contributing to how a person is being than genetics or training or you know the the nature versus nurture is like ah a very It's a very cool topic to. Talk about, but it's nature and nurture are the same thing and the end of the day. 50:38.19 Max Shank Good God I've never heard anything so hateful before. 50:49.28 Max Shank Um, it's interesting to think and let's just take because it's ah like gayness is a funny topic to me. Ah, and for the record. Ah most people I don't like. And whether they're gay or straight has nothing to do with it. But let's suppose that gayness has some element of genetics and some element of Nurture. So some nature and some nurture does that mean that there is a chance that like you and I were like. 3 uncomfortable locker room situations away from turning gay that's pretty interesting right? Or for the food thing like you have a predisposition to um, fearful mindset. 51:30.50 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, I've um. 51:44.98 Max Shank And you have a predisposition to rapid weight gain. But then you layer on some trauma on top of it and boom you have food is the medicine. 51:52.50 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, um, yeah I'd be curious to see stats on you know, ah when it comes to homosexuality like people who identify really heavily based on sexual preference. I Think anyone who identifies heavily on sexual preference alone or identifies heavily based on a preference of any kind. Not even sexual is very.. It's a very dangerous place to put yourself because now you get into. 52:12.99 Max Shank Right. 52:18.27 Max Shank Right. 52:27.59 mikebledsoe You become very easy to control through political means. So yeah. 52:30.87 Max Shank It goes back to our talk about the tribe right? If it's for the greater good of the tribe we'll fuck over anybody. 52:37.72 mikebledsoe Yeah, so you end up with really? ah you know you end up, you know if if you if you identify as being a part of this group or as being this thing. Then you got to vote this Way. You got to behave this Way. You can't hang out with this people. You got to hate this person or that you have to hate this other group and so I get I think that just anything that that starts creating identity becomes very dangerous which people who do identify heavily with a group get very angry. 53:07.97 Max Shank I got. 53:14.60 mikebledsoe When I say these types of things I gotta watch myself but I know that I'm safe here on on the Monday morning show and probably not. Ah. 53:20.20 Max Shank I Don't know after all that bigotry earlier I don't think there's a chance I got a little jingle to help us remember this um and a Noun is easily taken down but you cannot disturb a verb. 53:27.80 mikebledsoe Okay. 53:37.00 mikebledsoe Ah, ah. 53:38.48 Max Shank So That's that's what I think about um, you know you become the task your your ego is irrelevant the whole the whole magic is in knowing that the here and now is all there is and when you're. Planning You got to think of that like a hunt where you're like really focusing your attention and you're you're actively doing something but you're not also consumed with some identity that is fraught with all kinds of. Inconsistencies and crying egos desire to be loved in a very specific Way. So It's much better to become the action and you'll be better off doing actions that make you feel in Tune or in Harmony with the Universe. Which is your perspective and relationship with your surroundings. Um then trying to be trying to like be happy like you're not going to get Happiness. You can be in a flow State. You can be in peace and presence in the present moment. But if you're. If you're stuck in Noun based identities rather than becoming the task and doing it's going to be really hard. 54:59.97 mikebledsoe Yeah I like the Noun versus the verb conversation overall because if you think about I've had this conversation when I was working with and lifted which is you are a verb if you consider yourself to be a Noun then you're. A Noun is static. It doesn't Move. It's It's not very fluid. It just is and it makes it very hard to progress when you identify as a Noun, but if you if your identity is a verb then a verb is doing. It is Moving. It is progressing. There is. It's always changing which is way more in line with reality because the universe is moving in a very fluid nature. There's very few solid things and. 55:45.46 Max Shank O. 55:55.79 mikebledsoe There's some solid principles in which everything is is revolving around for sure but going back to the the gay conversation is in my life I've experienced sexually a very.. There's been times where I was very narrow in my preferences and there's been times where my my preferences expanded tremendously and then I've made adjustments now the band of my preferences is probably not as big as a lot of other people's um. And but I don't necessarily like I I found what I like and but I don't like and I don't necessarily think that that yeah had I identified as just a straight man 100% I'll never Touched another guy in any way I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now and which is very um, um, I'm much more happier and I know that I've experienced all these things and I know what I like and what I don't like and and that's okay, but I think most people. Even people who well maybe even especially people who identify as straight and they'll never try anything and they identify with that Noun you know they may be they may be missing out on some some interactions even with. Say you're a guy you may be missing out on some interactions with women in some interesting situations If you're terrified to see another man naked in a sexual environment. 57:33.38 Max Shank Wow! So you're saying that gayness is a choice and you would not be the man you are today without doing some slightly gay things. 57:42.46 mikebledsoe Um, Ah what I'm saying is ah I have I have watched my own mind change enough and without intention and with intention ah to to realize that. I I could tiptoe right into just about anything if I I public up. Um my mind to it. So Someone's intentional. So It's not intentional, but you know I think it's I think people just do whatever the fuck they want at the end of the day. Yeah. 58:16.54 Max Shank That's great. So ah, that's really what it comes down to it comes down to consent I think the verb Noun thing is great way to ah clarify. 58:19.57 mikebledsoe As long as you've got consent I don't give a fuck. 58:34.49 Max Shank The the breaking the back of the ego that is required to make the best decisions possible and take the verb running or to run versus I'm a runner so I am running versus I am a runner. 58:39.59 mikebledsoe And. 58:50.96 mikebledsoe Here. 58:53.67 Max Shank And granted, if you identify strongly with an activity. You will probably be better at it and if you strongly identify with that action and then that action goes Away. You will feel a great loss. Also. 59:12.50 mikebledsoe Yeah, or if you're not the best at it. It may that that also creates a situation of comparative analysis. It's like oh I'm I'm a runner so is max. Oh he's better at it than me like he can run faster further. 59:20.94 Max Shank Competitiveness Yeah, right, It's true faster further easier. It means you're worse means you're worse than me at at running. 59:29.34 mikebledsoe You know what's that mean about me. Yeah, what's that mean about me I'm I'm not as I'm not ah I'm not worthy. Yeah, so the. 59:37.89 Max Shank Ah, oh man sounds so sad. Even even joking about it. But that's the inner monologue that most of us have for such a variety of reasons. 59:43.39 mikebledsoe Totally that does and this one I'm a big fan of this conversation because ah there are so many things people are dealing with say being unhealthily competitive. And they're just trying to be less competitive when when we could be looking at something that's a much deeper conversation which is are you are you stuck in a noun-based identity or are you or are you moving with a verb based identity and if your identity is more fluid because ah being. Ah, associating more with being a verb creates identity fluidity which is which is which means that I can show up the best version of myself in every situation. No matter what because I'm not not over identifying with any 1 thing. You know when I'm in my office and I'm talking to you I'm a podcaster or I'm podcasting but when I leave here and I go hang on my girlfriend. You know I'm ah a romantic partner and all these things I think that there was a period of time where I started saying. Oh I'm like these 20 different identities. All these things that I do make up who I am and then one day I go this is just ridiculous. Why don't I just be like like just be completely fluid with the identity and I'll do what's. 01:01:02.73 Max Shank Then. 01:01:15.31 mikebledsoe Necessary for me the way the situation is demanding and me thinking about what label I want to put on myself so that I can try to seek some type of external validation. So I can feel good enough. That's just ridiculous. 01:01:27.46 Max Shank And yet and yet that's what we mostly do I think entrepreneur is a very fluid identity in general because people are by definition willing to try a lot of different pursuits so you will attract that sort of personality. 01:01:39.25 mikebledsoe It's broad. 01:01:46.27 Max Shank Into entrepreneurship that is much more fluid. 01:01:48.21 mikebledsoe No yeah, yeah, being on being an entrepreneur means so many things and such a broad term and I do I do like that when it it makes it easy to explain what I do I Tell you you know like I'm an entrepreneur a podcast coach. Whatever That's just me. 01:01:55.84 Max Shank Yeah. Right? But then but then nobody knows if you're good right away? Yeah, right. 01:02:08.20 mikebledsoe Just me relaying you know to other people so they they know how to talk to me. That's the other thing is I tell people when they ask me what I do or who I am I Um I don't tell the same and I don't tell different people the same thing if um, if I'm hanging out with a bunch of coaches I tell them you know I'm a coach. 01:02:16.94 Max Shank Yeah. Ah. 01:02:27.35 mikebledsoe Coming out somewhere most of the time I pull out the more recently and I've decided to start pulling out the podcaster card more because no matter who they are. They may want to come listen if I tell them that I coach coaches if they're not a coach. They don't give a fuck. 01:02:35.32 Max Shank Ah. 01:02:43.36 Max Shank Um, maybe I'll start doing that I mean I don't know if that's I guess technically true I've done enough to be considered a podcaster. But if you're. 01:02:46.92 mikebledsoe So yeah. 01:02:52.38 mikebledsoe Well also if you tell people you're a coach then they start bringing their problems to you and the same thing happens with Ashley he's like oh you're a therapist you know I've been I've been dealing. It's like I get the fuck away from me. Ah. 01:03:02.37 Max Shank Right? Very compassionate of you. Ah, no totally. It's about setting those boundaries but I think what's cool about saying I'm a podcaster is you are in a very subtle way saying my words are important my words are. 01:03:17.96 mikebledsoe Oh really? Ah yeah, but anyone's got a podcast these days I feel to me being a podcaster's not a big deal deal at all because there's it's almost no barrier to entry. 01:03:21.37 Max Shank My words are important. Yeah, of course it says that yeah I have a I have a radio show My my words are important. It's It's really interesting. It's not. It's not cool. No. 01:03:37.26 mikebledsoe All you need is a phone and and a 10 Joe Regan yeah yeah well of course. Well it's there's going back to podcasting is decentralized media. You know. 01:03:40.32 Max Shank But who has the biggest audience in the world people listening to podcaster. Yeah, that's wild. 01:03:54.81 Max Shank Ah. 01:03:55.91 mikebledsoe He's got the biggest audience in the world for sure. But then there's 4000000 shows that are you know, almost no one listens to to those but but you can do it and anyone can do it in the period entry is super low. 01:04:02.66 Max Shank Nobody listens to yeah yeah. Which is pretty cool. 01:04:14.40 mikebledsoe And that's going to keep happening in every industry every industry that the barrier to entry is going to just keep getting lower and lower and lower unless the government layers on regulation then the barrier to entry gets high which is what they're trying. That's why Facebook and Twitter ah tried to. They've been very. 01:04:24.70 Max Shank Um. 01:04:33.50 mikebledsoe Um, encouraging of government regulations and people go oh there like it's a noble thing that Facebook wants there to be regulation where they're the only motherfuckers that can afford the lawyers to wait through the bureaucracy they're there. They're squeezing out their competition every time there's a new regulation like Facebook wants it. 01:04:49.19 Max Shank Well, that's how lobbying works. Yeah paide. No it shows it shows the power of communication though I mean. 01:04:52.74 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah I don't think we actually got to what we were originally talking to. But I think it's okay I'm I'm enjoying the content. 01:05:06.46 Max Shank Refer to lawyers as word Warriors and they can they can manipulate they can manipulate look if you're a good lawyer. You can manipulate almost any situation to sound totally different than what physically happened. 01:05:07.86 mikebledsoe I Love it. It's true. 01:05:22.63 mikebledsoe Totally. 01:05:25.26 Max Shank And it's storytelling. It comes it all comes full circle in the beginning. There was the word and whatever I say that's what's true and the more confident you are about that like what I say is good and what they say is bad. A lot of people just are wanting to believe that because also there are going to be more people who want to follow than people who want to lead So you're going to naturally have these groups right? It's like ah. Some people want to be whipped and some people want to do the whipping and I don't know what the percentage is on that and my guess that it varies significantly by Gender. Ah so it's very I Just mean in general. 01:06:03.84 mikebledsoe And. 01:06:15.37 mikebledsoe To I like bdsm situations. 01:06:21.73 Max Shank Like yes also in that sort of a situation. Oh I was going to say ladies but are you going to have a different answer. They're more receiving and attractive. 01:06:22.75 mikebledsoe Which gender. Do you think likes be whipmore. 01:06:31.89 mikebledsoe I Find that the more dominant and day to day day to day. 01:06:40.68 Max Shank That's what I mean so you oh I see what you're saying so they're ah they want to assume a different role to decompress from being an a tractor of force rather than a transmitter of force. 01:06:49.84 mikebledsoe Yes, yeah, it can feel very powerful in a different way. So like a lot of times you create a container where there's ah where you can play a new role and. 01:06:57.64 Max Shank Interesting. 01:07:05.30 Max Shank Ah. 01:07:07.75 mikebledsoe And maybe someone who's normally on the more of a receiver gets to be someone who's delivering and it's ah it's a really fun experience and the same with Richard Branson is one of these. He's got a couple dominrix with them most of the time. 01:07:12.98 Max Shank Right. 01:07:22.66 Max Shank Loves to get whipped. Seriously, he's got a few dominatrixes with him all the time you heard it here first. 01:07:24.56 mikebledsoe And he's a very powerful guy. He's the one giving orders all day. Yeah, still about all the time that that that's ah, maybe an over generalization. But ah my my my friends who have spent time with him have said that they're present. Um, so. 01:07:39.70 Max Shank Wow. 01:07:44.11 mikebledsoe The and I don't know if that's public information but I'll give a fuck because Richard Richard Branson is you know he's old. So. 01:07:46.68 Max Shank It is now. A Monday morning original you heard it here for breaking news folks. 01:07:57.51 mikebledsoe I think I think the guy's really great in some respects but anyone who came out an

One of the most shocking realities of scripture is that at the end of Solomon's life, he turned from God. This sobering study reminds us that "but for the grace of God, there go I…" Let us look over this chapter and be reminded of how it must be God that holds on to us, if we are to persevere. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. In verses 1 & 2, what was Solomon doing? According to verse 4, how was this affecting his relationship with the Lord? Why do you think this was so? 2. Verse 5 says that Solomon also went after the false gods Ashtoreth and Milcom (aka Molech). What were these false gods about? Why would they have appealed to Solomon? How do people sometimes today go after “gods of our age” that promise something that we want? 3. How was Solomon's life characterized in verse 6? How was that evidenced in verse 7? 4. The podcast mentions that the hill that Solomon was doing this on was the Mount of Olives. How does God's future plans for the Mount of Olives show that God's holiness is not bound by mankind's evil? 5. As this chapter unfolds, what judgment does God bring upon Solomon and his kingdom? 6. What did the Lord tell Jeroboam in verse 29? Given that Jeroboam is unrelated to David, what is so startling about these promises? 7. The podcast mentions that there is one key promise that is missing from God's promises to Jeroboam. What was it? Why is that so critical in understanding the plan of God? 8. The podcast lays out Solomon's spiritual decline. What were the stages that went into it? How could it have been prevented? 9. Is there any warnings about Solomon that are applicable to your life? What steps should you take to deal with them by God's grace and the transforming power of His Spirit?   The Key Chapters Bible Podcast is a daily, 15ish minute podcast that goes over the key chapters of the Bible, one per day, explaining how it fits into the overall message of God and how it relates to our lives now.

No Candy for You, First Vanguard Impressions, I Let the Dogs Out and Was that an Intentional Penis Rocket?

Text: Luke 14:16-24 Opening Statement: It's Go Time! Some of you may be thinking, “where does he want us to go?” I hope you'll go: across the street, down the street and up the street to every house in our area. I want you to be a part of Saturate USA/Ashe by giving a DVD and tract to every household in Ashe County. Have you ever wondered why did God leave us here instead of whisking us away at salvation? The answer is so we can take as many with us as possible! It's go time! It's time to stop sitting still and go to work! I) Let's Go and Initiate Contact with Them. (Luke 14:16) Nowhere does the Bible command the lost to come to church. We are to go and initiate contact with them. Where should we go? Jesus said, "Into all the world.'' He also said, "Into the streets and lanes'' (Luke 14:21), and "into the highways and hedges'' (Luke 14:23). God is leading us to the thirsty, the seeking, and the interested, and there are many…the fields are white unto harvest! II) Let's Go and Inform Them (Luke 14:16-17) Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. We need to be like the servant and go out and inform the folks that God has set the table and they are invited to eat with Him. III) Let's Go and Inspire Them There is a need for Christians to be alive, alert and awake, because the world is watching for something real. There is a tremendous need for zeal and inspiration. The message of the Gospel is exciting and so should the Christians who have experienced it. The gospel is life changing and eternity altering! We have been called into the greatest business in the entire world…God's business! So, let's go do God's business once again. IV) Let's Go and Involve Them (Luke 14:23, Matthew 28:20) Once people are invited to come to Christ, informed of the goodness of the Lord, and inspired by the family of God, it is time to involve them in the teaching of the Lord. We are not just commanded to go, but also to teaching. We desire to be faithful to our Lord's Commission and make disciples of all nations (all people). We must teach and we cannot rest until those who are reached are taught. Our desire of reaching and teaching should be that it would result in God changing lives as a result of receiving “a new heart and a new spirit” (Ezekiel 36:26). In Closing: It's Go Time! Will you Go?

Den fjärde industriella revolutionen är på god väg att förändra samhället i grunden. Greta Braun är doktorand på Chalmers och forskar på framtidens arbete. I Let's tech-poddens första avsnitt för säsongen diskuterar hon digitaliseringens framfart och vad det innebär för jobben, utbildningssektorn och industrin.

In this intro I Let it be Known that He is God and He needs you for his kingdom! Which is the whole purpose of this podcast. You see I want to make it clear that God is not a religion that we have to choose but a LIFESTYLE that we want to choose. The thing is that we tend to not want it because we don't like what we see from the outside or hear of the lies told about it but it's like that one saying, “don't judge a book by its cover”(cliches but true). We need to open this book and then you will see why so many people speak of God so highly and make him the center of their lives. I hope and pray that I am able to bring forth MY relationship with him and show everyone who listens or watches how great his love is!

Now…Nothing Will Be Impossible A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, December 20, 2020, “The Fullness of Time” series.       Text: Luke 1:26-38, 46b-55 “Mary…you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus…And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren.” And NOW…what has seemed impossible will be revealed as… possible? But, seriously, should we be surprised that old Zechariah had some questions when God’s messenger, Gabriel, announced that Elizabeth would conceive a son after all indicators pointed to “past it?”  Should we be surprised that it took Mary a minute to catch up with what was happening, that she was “perplexed” at the arrival and greeting of Gabriel? After all, she was a 14 year old girl without flashy pedigree, husband, or cultural agency—she did not live in a time and place where young women were given voice or choice. Pregnancy out of wedlock was a crime and would threaten both hers and the child’s life and her betrothed, well, that was probably over. And yet she is singled out by God with he assurance that the child will not only survive but thrive. She is singled out by God as worthy of being mother of a king. This simply isn’t how things are done. This isn’t how the world works. This isn’t possible. And notice that Gabriel doesn’t just deliver this proclamation and depart, but evidently waits around to see if Mary is in, a signal that Mary was given at least some measure of agency. “Here am I…Let it be with me according to your word.” Gabriel then departs with the good news: “She said yes!” The angel communicates to Mary that some things “will” take place. “You will conceive”… “He will be great”… “of his kingdom there will be no end”… “The power of the Most High will overshadow you”… “the child to be born will be holy…the Son of God.” It’s all just words at that point…Gabe pulling up saying, “Hey Mary, these impossible things will be…trust me.” And in the bit of the narrative not received aloud today, after her encounter with Gabriel, Mary travels to her six-months-pregnant cousin, Elizabeth, who says of Mary, “blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.” (Lk 1:45) It’s among the first of the Christmas wonders, this belief. So much in our world—then and now—might suggest that we choose otherwise. Why did Mary believe when everything about the situation was impossible? Evidently, she knew the stories of her Jewish faith, like the story of Hannah who sang at her long-awaited child Samuel’s birth. Mary’s song echoes her ancestor Hannah and is traditionally called the “Magnificat.” It paints a portrait of a certain kind of God who is merciful, strong, impatient with destructive pride, disruptive of the status quo, a God who overturns the “way things work” so that the hungry and lowly ones receive the good things usually reserved for the rich and powerful.  This is the God Mary knows—and these things are not, in her song, things that “will be,” but are proclaimed as things that are, things that have already taken place. This is the way our God acts, she sings. This is what our God does from generation to generation, she proclaims. And in the song, Mary recognizes that she has been added to God’s mighty acts, that she is now part of God’s revolutionary love story: “Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me.” Throughout this Advent season, our reflections have pulled words from the Gospel texts that highlight the dynamic time-infused nature of the story we tell and point to God’s engagement with the human family throughout time. “After that suffering”… “The beginning of the good news”… “The One who is coming after”… “Now…nothing will be impossible.” Advent is supposed to be a season of waiting and anticipation, a season of trusting the promise that the birth of Jesus, the birth of perfect love, justice, wisdom, compassion, and mercy will be born again in our time. And yet when it comes right down to it—maybe it’s just me—I am weary of waiting…and so wander back into where we began: “How long, O Lord?” If all that justice and stuff are what you do from generation to generation, why not get from “will be” to “now?”  How long, O Lord? How long until the “Proud Boys” are scattered in the racist imaginations of their hearts? How long until those in the halls of government at every level who abuse their power are truly dethroned and their sway dismantled? How long until privilege is not reserved for those with the least melanin in their skin? How long until those brought low by the pandemics of white supremacy and COVID receive good things like debt, rent, and student loan forgiveness, gap pay, reparations, equity in healthcare, and living wages instead of empty promises and crumbs? How long until it would be unthinkable that as one scholar has suggested “America’s billionaires could give everybody in the country a $3000 stimulus check and still be richer than they were before the pandemic?”  We may be tempted to get twisted up in disappointment and cynicism, we may settle for egg nog or cookies or sparkly things as the only sources of joy, giving up the energy it takes to keep hoping the story we receive at Christmas is believable in any way. And I’m not even talking about believing any particular assertion of angelic beings or “a virgin birth,” I’m talking about the belief in a God who actually does act with a mighty arm on behalf of the impoverished and oppressed, the unexpected and simple ones. We can lose our faith in God. That’s an option. Or we might pause and remember that, throughout all of time, God doesn’t lose faith in us even with our miserable track record as a human family.  The story we tell today is a shining example of some humans who were worthy of God’s faith.  They recognized that, in order for the things God says will be to occur sooner, they had to do their part now. Mary and Elizabeth respond in their time, their “now,” and bear new life into their generation, new life that flows into every generation to come. Without Elizabeth, there’s no John the Baptizer, no preparer of the Way. Without Mary and her “yes,” there is no Jesus and all the life and hope and saving grace he brings. In short, what Elizabeth and Mary did in their “now” made possible the promised “will be.” We exist now as this faith community because Mary not only believed that God was able to fulfill the promise of new life, but also said, “Here am I…” From generation to generation, God gives us what we need to do what is right, to bring healing, to live justly, to share life together such that all have what they need, to let go the need to steal or to overpower or harm others. God helps us recognize that what we already have is enough to do some good in the world with and for others. God has given us everything, promised everything, hung in there with us when we turn up our noses, when we receive a divine message and respond with some version of “That’s asking too much. That’s too expensive. I don’t have time. Someone else will take care of it. I am not equipped. Thanks anyway.” If we all did our part, focusing our energy and resources on responding with a “Here I am!” to God’s call, the moral arc might get bent more quickly. The “How long?” question is partly ours to answer! And this is our now. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke of “the fierce urgency of now.” In his brave and deeply controversial speech at Riverside Church, challenging the U.S. war in Vietnam he said, “We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there ‘is’ such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.” We as Foundry Church have focused a great deal over these past months on our call for “such a time as this.” I have pressed again and again the point that this is our stretch of a long journey toward God’s vision of a truly just and gentle world. Our time is now. In the midst of the pandemics of systemic racism and COVID, deepening political and relational divides, and crises of health, education, employment, environment, and more, there is no time for apathy or complacency or pushing off responsibility onto God as though we couldn’t get something done if we each did our part. What are you doing now for justice, for peace, for love? If Josie Wright Martin at age 11 can raise and contribute over $6000 to Foundry’s work, well…? Pray, befriend, serve, lead, teach, give… At the end of this challenging year, we look ahead not only to things that will be but to what God is doing right now. We as Foundry are called to participate, to play a role in the mending work of God, to engage and do and dream and share things in the months ahead that will be life-changing, life-giving, that will change the world. Some may worry whether we’ll have enough money, commitment, creativity, perseverance to discern, much less do, all we’re given to do and to be and to become. But I believe that everything we need is already present among us, that we are worthy of God’s faith in us, and that, as we respond to God’s call and each do what we can do now, the will be will… BE.  For nothing will be impossible with God!  https://foundryumc.org/

Tao Te Ching Verse 47translated by Ellen Marie ChenWithout stepping out the door,Know the world.Without looking out the window,See the Tao of Heaven.The farther one comes out,The less one knows.Therefore the sage knows without traveling,Understands things without seeing them,Accomplishes without work.Photo by ANIRUDH on UnsplashStaying InsideLao Tzu says we don’t need to leave the house to know what’s going on. He says we don’t need to peer outside the windows to know the Tao. My short time in Brazil and the wonderful things I experienced seem to be defying that, don’t they? Only maybe not. Maybe Lao Tzu is talking about volition and desire here instead of actual actions.Let’s imagine that the house and windows are our corporeal forms. Let’s also imagine that we who are inside our dwellings are just our consciousness. So now, the verse reads a little different: To know what’s going on outside of me, I don’t need to leave my body. To know the Tao, I don’t need to look outside. Nope, to know the Tao, I need to look inside, don’t I? Let’s extend a little bit. Perhaps the house in this verse is the satisfaction of our corporeal senses. And looking out the window is the lie we tell ourselves that we don’t have everything we need to grow into harmony with the Tao. I think the main takeaway from the first part of the verse is that in order to move into Harmony with the Tao, we don’t need anything external to ourselves. In fact, those external things are actually distractors. We talked about Abandoning Desires in the last verse - perhaps desires are those external things that we keep looking for that ultimately don’t hold the answers. So literally staying inside the house and not venturing out? Sure, that’s fine. Venturing off and experiencing the beauty of a people and language, customs and ways of life? Sure, that’s fine, too. To me, It’s setting aside the belief that I must go outside myself to experience the Tao. That’s my interpretation of what Lao Tzu is speaking about here.

What is my relation with this Existence? What is my essential nature? How to arrive at the true nature via direct observation and logic? Why do we own things? What is the nature of I? Let us explore my self. (This is an audio version of the video series here: The Path of Knowledge)

.................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT .................................. Hi welcome to episode 142 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank-you for listening to today’s podcast. In last week’s episode I shared with you my origin story and my biggest lesson was that we are designed for success. In today’s episode I am going to share with you my fifth best tip for your successful year which is to use your creative power to design your life. When you harness your creative power, you are able to live your life by design as opposed to letting your circumstances dictate your future. You are a creative being since you can use your creative power to design your life. I am going to share with you in today’s episode 6 essential ways which will help your use creative power to design your life. The first way you can use your creative power to design your life is to visualise what you want from the depth of your heart or to put it another way to use the power of your imagination to create what you want in life. Visualisation aligns your conscious mind and subconscious mind or your thinking mind and feeling mind with what you truly want. As you are emotionally involved with what you are thinking it increases the likelihood of its manifestation. For example, when I decided to start my complementary therapy business, that was back in 2007, I had a clear vision of what I wanted to create and I felt deep in my heart that it was the right decision. After all I was resigning from a comfortable 9 to 5 job to become a solopreneur! Shakti Gawain who is the author of Creative Visualization, a book that I highly recommend if you want to learn more about creative visualisation, says: The clearer and stronger your intention, the more quickly and easily your creative visualization will work.” The second way to use your creative power to design your life is to take 100% responsibility for your life. Taking responsibility means that you are able to respond to your circumstances. When you take 100% responsibility for your life you become actively involved in the creative process of your own life. Let me give you an example: you want to improve your relationship with someone you love however you had an argument and you haven’t spoken for a while. Where there is an intention or a decision for reconciliation a solution will show up. Since you want to improve your relationship with that person you choose as well to respond to the situation differently and this is where your creative power becomes handy. With a good intention coupled with wisdom, you will think of ways to respond to the situation more positively. You might, for example, view the situation differently. You might recognize your mistakes honestly. You might try to understand the other person’s view point and introduce peace in the relationship. Whatever method you choose to improve the relationship you would have used your creative power to do so. The third way to use your creative power to design your life is to ask yourself more empowering questions, which will improve the quality of your life. This is a tool I always use and return to. It is a tool in your arsenal for success, which is particularly powerful when you feel stuck and confused. It is simple it starts with “How can I ……?” Let us use the relationship example I have previously mentioned. Instead of saying: “I can’t make this relationship work” you could ask yourself a more empowering question: “How can I make this relationship work better?” The former question means that you see no solution at all, the latter question means that there is still a light of hope. Of course, the intensity of your creative power will depend upon the intensity of your intention. The fourth way to use your creative power to design your life is to apply one of the three controllable ways you can change things in your life: Try something new. In order to try something new you need to be creative and to choose something that would make you feel alive and enlighten your day. The fifth way to use your creative power to design your life is writing or journaling. Writing or journaling allows your imagination to run wild. It has amazing healing power and it is a great source of creativity and inspiration. When something is written it is imprinted and memorised and therefore, you are more likely to take action towards it. The sixth and last way to use your creative power to design your life is to model other people who are successful in a particular area. It could be your parents who have an amazing relationship, a colleague who has commendable work ethics or a friend who is a very good listener. The ideas that emanate from your creative power will be effective for many years to come. In other words what you create today might or might not manifest today but may manifest in the future. Therefore, as you design your life by using your creative power you must be increasingly aware of what you wish for. As always remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time. In order to design your life what I would like to recommend is that you choose one way to use your creative power which resonates with you the most. This is a great starting point. You may find that all of these tools will become handy at one point or another in your life. I hope that you enjoyed today’s episode. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have an amazing week, take care, stay safe and healthy and lots of love. ………………………. FREE RESOURCES ………………………. Love this?

Natali Suonvieri var bara 25 år när hon blev utbränd. Istället för att gå tillbaka till sin karriär som marknadsförare efter sjukskrivningen startade hon forumet Stressgäris, som idag har 6000 medlemmar. I Let’s tech-poddens 20:e avsnitt intervjuas hon om arbetsrelaterad stress, vilka varningstecken man ska se upp med och vad man som arbetsgivare kan göra för att förebygga utbrändhet hos sina anställda.

During this episode we will actively take a few minutes to be still and explore who we are in a simplistic yet in-depth way! Question of the week: When's the last time that I? Let's come together to find the truth in this question and more importantly within ourselves!

واترلو هرچقدر برای ناپلئون بدبیاری داشت، برای اونها خوش یمن بود و پدیده­ای به نام «آبا» رو به جهان معرفی کرد. این قطعه نه تنها جایزه­ی یوروویژن 1974 رو ازآنشون کرد بلکه در سال 2005 و پنجاهمین سالگرد یوروویژن به عنوان بهترین قطعه­ی تاریخ این مسابقه انتخاب شد. در این واترلو از جنگ و خون­ریزی خبری نیست و خواننده از تسلیم شدنش در برابر عشق می­خونه که بنظر خیلی هم ازون بابت ناراحت نیست چون می­گه وقتی می­بازم احساس می­کنم بردم. اما فقط متن ساده­ی ترانه و ریتم تلفیقیِ راک و جَز اون نبود که باعث شد واترلو عرصه­ی تخت­و­تاز آبا بشه، بلکه اجرای اون هم فوق­العاده بود: تماشاچیا شاهد چیزی بودن که تا اون روز ندیده بودن: لباس­های پر زرق­وبرق و چکمه­های تختِ نقره­ای و قطعه­ای جذاب، با تمپوی بالا همراه با رقص خواننده­ها. سنت­شکنی دیگه­ی واترلو هم اجرای قطعه به زبان انگلیسی بود... تا اون مو قع همه­ی گروه­ها باید به زبان مادری خودشون می­خوندند و آبا با این اجرا تابو رو شکست و راه رو برای سایر گروه­ها هموار کرد. (خانم­ها، آقایان... در این شماره از رادیو ری­وی­یو با هم همراه میشیم تا یک ساعتی رو با این سوئدی­های پرشور­و­شر که هر نسلی ازشون خاطره داره بگذرونیم و کارهاشونو باهم ری وی یو کنیم)   در این شماره از رادیو ری‌وی‌یو شما شنونده‌ی قطعه‌های زیر هستید: 1- Waterloo, live at Eurovision Song Contest/1974 2- SOS, ABBA/1975 3- Hasta Mañana, Waterloo/1974 4- Isn’t It Easy to Say?, The Hep Stars, The Hep Stars/1966 5- People Need Love, Ring Ring/1973 6- Money, Money, Money/ Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, A Tribute To ABBA/2003 7- Chiquitita, Voulez-Vous/1979 8- Dancing Queen/Arrival/ 1976 9- Dancing Queen/ Frida and The Real Group/ live at the Royal Opera House in Stockholm/1993 10- I Let the Music Speak/ The Visitors/1981 11- Mamma Mia/ featuring Meryl Streep on vocals/from the musical movie Mamma Mia!/2008 12- The Day Before You Came/ The Visitors/1981 13- The Day Before You Came/ Steven Wilson/ Cover Version II/2004 14- I Know There’s Something Going On/ Frida/ Something’s Going On/1982? 15- The Winner Takes It All/ At Vance/ Dragonchaser/2001 16- Fernando/ Arrival/ 1976 17- Never Again/ Agnetha Fältskog (with Tomas Ledin)/ Wrap Your Arms Around Me/1982 18- Voulez-Vous/ Voulez-Vous/1979 19- Knowing Me, Knowing You/ Arrival/ 1976 20- Thank You For The Music/ ABBA: The Album/ 1977

Jeppesens personalhanteringssystem och schemaläggning för flyg är världskända och sysselsätter 400 personer bara i Göteborg, ändå har de passerat relativt obemärkt i stans IT-sfär. I Let’s tech-poddens sista avsnitt för säsongen har vi bjudit in Peter Andersson, Managing Director på Jeppesen, för en diskussion om vad som kännetecknar deras verksamhet, hur det är att leda arbetet på en internationell arbetsplats samt flygets framtid mot bakgrund av klimatkrisen. Av och med Henrik Enström, VD på Codic Consulting.

Hvor bliver de af, de mennesker der dør i et kort øjeblik? Oplever de noget dér, som vi levende ikke kender til, eller fyldes pausen af stilhed og mørke? Smaragdsliberen Pierre får et pludseligt hjertestop og oplever, at alting bliver smukt og lyst og meningsfyldt. Og så bliver han genoplivet til den reneste ærgrelse. Han ville faktisk hellere forblive død. Anne-Cathrine Riebnitzsky er aktuel med romanen "Smaragdsliberen" om livets skrøbelige skønhed. I "Let gang og lidt til" har Pia Juul samlet sit eget udvalg af tekster af og om forfatterlegenden Agnes Henningsen. Og der er mere end nok at tale om, når det kommer til den frigjorte forfatter, der levede fra 1868-1962. Da hun som 17-årig blev gift med en ung Mads Henningsen, indledte de det, man i dag vil kalde et åbent ægteskab. Dette resulterede blandt andet i, at hendes mand slet ikke var far til hendes søn, multikunstneren Poul Henningsen, bedre kendt som PH. Pia Juul elsker Agnes Henningsens person, litteratur og lidenskabelige liv. Værter: Nanna Mogensen og Klaus Rothstein.

The post Episode 007 – I Let an Agent Derail My Career appeared first on Regina Zona.

It’s time for episode 110 of Love That Album podcast. In terms of status, the Monty Python crew are like rock stars. How big? When they have musicians like Led Zeppelin and George Harrison ready to bankroll their projects, you know they were bigger than Brian…..Their routines are quoted like song lyrics. In the comedy world, their material is ubiquitous. It could be argued they went from fighting the establishment to becoming the establishment…..which is very rock star. For this episode of the show, the great Ben Eisen of the All Time Top Ten podcast joins Maurice to wax lyrical about the collection of Monty Python songs called Monty Python Sings. Do the songs work outside of the context of the sketches they were often a part of?

LPolice Radio new series, "To be, or not to be". You see it's time to start the resolution bs. This year I'm going to? blah, blah, blah. This episode series looks at the inner-voice inside all of us challenging us at every turn. As a professional law enforcement official sometimes this inner-voice is way too loud, or way to low. As our journey commences, we have to make some quick decisions that we may or may not have the correct answers too. That Inner-voice is your silent partner that talks too much. Let's look at some examples, as soon as I graduate from the academy, I will be the best Officer/Deputy in the country. This is my dream since I was very small and I know exactly what I want, or do I? Let's roll up our sleeves and take a look at some issues.  Take my required break or like all the others in the squad, take a little extra. Write the report exactly to the facts or add some additional adjectives in the sentences. I'm not blind, I can see the Officers/Deputies that eat for free and go places, "on the house", but not me. So during this use of force, we became so pissed, but keep it professional or look around and "you know". Yes, I'm in a relationship but you don't understand my situation, so having friends isn't bad! right? I can control my drinking, it's not like I'm going to become acholic. Speed limit! what sign, that for someone else. and the list goes on. It's like going to work and just not helping the team because, you know, they can handle it. To be, or not to be. which one are you?

节目组: The World Says 世界说 节目名称: information security S: Hey guys welcome to the world says from the Voice Of Era foreign languages radio station, I'm SherlockI: This is Iris. Welcome to listen to our program! I: Well, Sherlock, we all rely on computers in our everyday lives. From buying travel tickets in the morning to researching homework at night, our lives would be a lot more difficult without them. So what happens when you can't use them?S: OMG! I can't imagine that! If I cannot use my computer, almost everything can't be completed, for example, our today's show.I: You seem to have missed something.S: Keke~ you know, I'm not always play computer games. Just sometimes, and I can sure you, for me, work is still more important than the game. Let's go back to today's topic. I：Well, Sherlock, today the topic that we bring to everyone is information security.S: maybe you still don't know what we say. That's no matter; you only need to listen to us.I: OK, I think you know this news: Since May 12, a computer virus named WannaCry has infected more than 300,000 computers in over 150 countries.S: Of course I know. Come on; when I heard this news I was so scared! I am very afraid of my data is encrypted, and then never can't be decrypted.I：Yes, It actually scared me too. Because Once the virus gets into the computer, it locks all the documents and asks for money from the user to unlock them. At first, it asks for $300 (2,068 yuan), but if the user doesn't send the money in 72 hours, the price doubles. Documents are locked forever if the user doesn't pay in seven days.S: Yes that's it. I used to think that the hackers are a cool job, but now I really hate hackers. Because they only brought destruction and chaos to this society.I: Yes, those hackers use the network to spread the virus, destructive power amazing. And WannaCry is spread by taking advantage of a weakness in Microsoft's Windows operating system. It can quickly infect an entire network, locking hundreds of computers within minutes.S: In the UK, the virus left the country's National Health Service in chaos. Some hospitals had to cancel outpatient appointments and tell people to avoid emergency departments unless necessary. Doctors even warned that the cyber-attack could cost lives. You know, they actually invaded the hospital network, It makes me simply can't tolerate.I: but don't worry Sherlock. If you weren't affected, there's no need to panic. Unaffected users can install (安装) a software update released by Microsoft to fix the weakness.S: That's it! There really is no full defense against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever. The best option for most users is to take care online and always install software updates.I: Similarly, for network information security issues, the password is often a headache.S: Oh? Really? I didn't feel it.I: Let me hazard a wild guess: the system of passwords you use on the internet – for accessing online banking, email, shopping sites, Twitter and Facebook accounts – is a mess.I: And things are getting worse: these days, you find yourself forced to choose passwords with both upper- and lower-case letters(大小写), and what normal human being can remember multiple combinations of those? S:Let's hear the Lorrie Faith Cranor, who studied thousands of real passwords to figure out the surprising.I: Last month, an analysis of leaked pin numbers revealed that about one in 10 of us uses "1234"; and thousands of users' passwords were either "password", "welcome", "123456" or "ninja". People always choose terrible passwords S: In fact, we have to understand that is Password hacking takes many different forms. I:Yes, and this is where the length of your password makes an almost unbelievable difference. For a hacker with the computing power to make 1,000 guesses per second, such as "FPQZY", would take three and three-quarter hours to crack. Increase the number of letters to 20, though, and the cracking time increases, just a little bit: It is 6.5 thousand trillion centuries.S: so, maybe I think I have got a clever system for coming up with passwords; the chances are that hackers are already familiar with it. Too dangerous!I: Don't worry too much Sherlock, One day, we may not have to worry about any of this: there are development that might replace passwords entirely. Touchscreens(触屏) could be configured to detect subtle aspects of your interactions with your computer.S：Maybe just like the distances between my fingers, the speeds at which my tap and scroll. I: OK, we are running out of time.S：Yes, and I think I shall change my password now! Because I have use the password like 123456 for ten years! I: You better harry! That's all for today's listening. Goodbye. S: 感谢所有收听节目的小伙伴，祝大家考试顺利.I: 如果你喜欢我们的节目，请关注VOE外语广播电台的微信公众号V.O.E radio和VOE外语广播电台的新浪微博，那里有我们往期的作品。感谢制作苏鑫!bye 监制：周宸聿编辑：张燚铭 余若天播音：张燚铭 余若天制作：苏鑫

节目组: The World Says 世界说 节目名称: Sherlock returnsI: Hello everyone, welcome to the world says from the VOE foreign language station. This is Iris.I: Hey, Sherlock, you look very tired today.S: Of course, like you, I probably enjoy my holiday.I: What do you mean,you just said me?S: Yes. (Hold)Obviously, your eyes have bloodshot, indicating that you are likely to stay up all night. And I observed that cocoon on your right middle finger.Are you staying up late to study?I: Half right, but you are still far from a detective. After having watched Sherlock for four seasons, I think there is a huge difference compared with the first quarter.Sherlock, do you remember the scene that Holmes' first met with Dr.Watson?S: Yes, of course, Sherlock is capable of judging a person's past, present and their future only by observing.:He has a word: As ever you see but not observe. To you the world remains an impenetrable [ɪmˈpenɪtrəbl] mystery whereas to me it is an open book. Hard logic versus romantic whimsy. I: Well,it's hard to understand.Maybe some audience know nothing about this.S:let's play a scene which in this drama.Could you do a role play with me, Iris? You are Dr. Watson, and I am Sherlock.J: let me be Stanford.I: Okay! 3, 2, 1, action!J: This is an old mate of mine, John Watson.S: Afghanistan or Iraq?I: Afghanistan. Sorry, how did you know?S: How do you feel about the violin?I: Sorry, what?S: I play the violin when I'm thinking. Sometimes I don't talk for days on end. Would that bother you? Potential flat mates should know the worst about each other.I: Oh, you told him me about me?J: Not a word.I: Then who said anything about flat mates?S: I did.I told Mike this morning that I must be a difficult man to find a flat matefor. Now here he is after lunch with an old friend clearly home from military service in Afghanistan [æf'ɡænɪstæn]. It wasn't a difficult leap.I: This is their first meeting.It is amazing, isn't it?S:Let me explain the reason for his inference.Tanned face, but no tan above the wrists. That meansDr.Watson have been abroad, but not sunbathing.I: And his haircut and the way he hold himself said military.The conversation when he entered the room bit different from day which says trained at Bart's. So he is an army doctor, obviously.I: His limp is really bad when walking, but don't ask for a chair when hestands, like he already forgotten about it. That means the limp is at least partly psychosomatic[ˌsaɪkəʊsəˈmætɪk].S: That says the original circumstances of the injury were traumatising. Wounded in action then. So, where does an army doctor get himself a suntan and wounded in action these days? It must be Afghanistan or Iraq.Let's go on say something about Dr.Waston.In Sherlock ways to say,he is my best friend.I: agreed.We can observe this in season4,when his sister ask him using pistol to kill his brother or Dr.Waston,this choice is difficult for him, and finally, had to choose suicide.S:Have to say that the fourth quarter tells a lot of their friendship.I waited for two years.Thanks to God, they returned.S:I was really happy when I heard the news. en-I think there is quite a lot of differences between this fashion sherlock and the classical one.He is fashion,he use blackberry,sent masagers.He takes taxi instead of gharry.He writes blog,he even became a hit on twitter.I: But the same thing is that he is thin and tall,sagacious and shouws quick first response all the time.He is also good at biology and his incredible outsight shocks the audience all the time.S: The change of the new sherlock dosen't make us fell uncomfortable, but the quick plot and the mixture of many stories of the novel in every episode makes an impression to Holmes fans.All of the changes show that this Holmes belongs to our times.I: That's right, but many Chinese fans were in a fever after they saw the first episode premiere on the BBC's official website. S: I've heard that. According to the BBC's official website, the titles of the three episodes in season 4 are “The Six Thatchers,” “The Lying Detective” and “The Final Problem.” After the debut of “The Six Thatchers,” disappointing voices emerged on Chinese review platforms such as Douban slid to 8.7 from a 9.3, and then to 8.5 in the next day. I: But why? I think it's still very amazing and surprising.S: Disappointment mainly stemmed from the lack of an appearance from the series big villain Moriarty, whose death was broght into question after the end of season 3, and the death of a major character. After Dr Watson's wife Mary dies after taking a bullet for Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch), Chinese netizens took to social media to express their disappointment : “Sure enough, there is no place for an actress in this UK TV series.”I: Although most Sherlock fans in China love the relationship between Sherlock and Watson and joked that the character of Mary was an "interloper" at first, they later found themselves falling for her smart and humorous personality S：In the eyes of many Chinese fans, the character's abrupt death was assurance that the UK TV series "really hates heterosexuality."I: it's funny!S: The Sherlock series has long had a large fan base in China. When David Cameron visited China in late 2013, some netizens left comments on his Weibo account asking him to urge the BBC to produce more episodes of Sherlock.And iris what's the reply?I:"I know that Benedict is hugely important in China. He's a big star. Sorry I can't tell them what to do. It's an independent company," then the UK Prime Minister replied.S: Chinese President Xi Jinping listed Sherlock as an example of an outstanding British production along with the Harry Potter series and TV drama Downton Abbey during his visit to London in 2015.I: Let's review some classic linesThe wheel turns, nothing is ever new. 时过境迁，烂事依然。S: You, don't talk out loud.You lower the IQ of the whole street.You, face the other way. You are putting me off. 你，不要说话，你拉低了整条街的智商。你，转过去，你影响我思考了。I: All lives end,all hearts are broken.Caring is not an advantage! 生命终有尽头，人心终要破碎，太在意可不是什么优点！S: Love is a dangerous disadvantage.(爱是种危险的劣势）I: Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain. 每个童话都需要一个经典大反派。S: That's all for today's listening .

Do you use "We" or "I" in your marketing material? In this week's episode of the Resourceful Designer podcast, I tackle the longtime debate on whether or not you should use the pronoun "We" or "I" on your marketing material. For the full discussion be sure to listen to the podcast. I don’t know if you’re like me, but ever time I come across a URL for a graphic designer I just have to check it out. We’re such a creative bunch and I love seeing the wide variety of approaches when it comes to our business, our skills and our communications. Besides looking at the structure of the site, reading the about page and looking at the portfolio one, of the main things I look at is the voice that was chosen for the page. When I say voice, I’m talking about whether the site uses “We” or “I” in the copy. I then play a little game, if the site uses the pronoun “we”, I try to figure out if the site really is a “we” or if it’s in fact, an “I”. I recently came across a designer's website that used the pronoun "we". My first thought was that he had decided to go the plural route to make himself seem bigger. However, upon reading the About page, I saw that there was, in fact, a business partner that occupied the role of Project Manager. So in this case, using the “We” pronoun was the right choice. But I’m not talking about businesses like this one. In most cases, as a home-based graphic designer, you’re running your business all by yourself. And choosing “We” as your pronoun doesn’t necessarily reflect the business it’s trying to describe. But does that mean it’s wrong? What is the best pronoun for a graphic design business? First, let’s look at the hard decisions between choosing “We” or “I”. Some people believe that If you’re all by yourself and you choose “We”, you are misrepresenting yourself. But will it make a difference to your potential clients? What are they expecting of you and your business? Will they be willing to spend more money on a “We” as opposed to an “I”? Let’s look at both individually. Choosing “We” for your business. What does using the pronoun “we” do for your business? First off, if you ever work with partners or subcontractors then you aren’t really misrepresenting your business by using “We”. You could simply explain that you have a team of professionals at your disposal to handle the various portions of a design project. Hense the “We” “We” also give your business a more established feel. “We” makes you sound more corporate. “We” may help you land clients who prefer working with companies over an individual person. Keep in mind that If you use “We” a client may ask to speak with someone on your team which could cause problems for you. Choosing “I” for your business. What does using the pronoun “I” do for your business? The biggest return for using “I” is that it focuses more on you instead of your business. This makes you sound more personable and accessible. If the client is happy with the work, you and not the company gets the credit for it. You’ve heard me talk many times about creating relationships with clients. Using “I” in your marketing copy is the first step in building that relationship since viewers establish a connection with you from the start. Using “I” creates a sense of flexibility, giving a sense of ease to clients who may believe that as an individual, you will be more open to listening to what they have to say instead of dictating like a company might do. Using “I” will attract clients who want to deal with a person rather than a company. They know the money they spend is benefiting you, someone they have a relationship with, and not a company where it will be distributed who knows how. People who are not familiar with graphic design might also feel an individual will be more affordable than hiring a design firm. Your clients will also be more flexible to your personal needs. In last week’s Question of the Week, I mentioned how clients can be very accommodating in times of family emergencies, whereas if they hire a company they would still expect the work to get done even if you’re not available. Other things to consider. The name of your company could play a part in the pronoun you choose. If you use your own name for your business, like Mark Des Cotes Design, it only makes sense to use “I” in your marketing material. If the word Agency is part of your business name it would make more sense to use “We”. In some cases, such as when you have a business partner, using “We” is the right choice. But there are still ways to make you sound more personable. Instead of always using “We” or “us” use your names. Instead of saying something like “give us a call” say “give Ben and Nick a call”. Or instead of “We look forward to working with you” you could say “Ben and Nick look forward to working with you. You may need to change from first to third person to pull this off. Another way is to assign someone as the face of your marketing. For instance, make either Ben or Nick the spokesperson and say something like “Nick and I look forward to working with you”. This method covers both bases as it establishes you as more than just an individual but it also paints you as individual people. What do I use? I personally use the pronoun “I”. Yes, I operate under a business name but call me selfish, when all is said and done I want people to remember me for the work, not my company. Plus, as you know, I’m all about building relationships and that’s definitely all about Me. There’s no We involved. What pronoun do you use for your graphic design business?

Download Fridayland Part1.mp3 Right click and save (Windows) Command Click and save (MAC) Before I go out to work each time....I give thanks....and hand it all over to Love. Love pulls my records....and reads the night. I also Like to do a little musical meditation....Meaning that I will stop with dance music...and listen to something, usually classical. A short piece like a Rag Slow Drag. (*the Labeque Sisters) or one of my favorite Ravel or Lizst piano pieces....(*Pavane for a Dead Princess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocyCWh1rBw or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PQ-H1PjrWQ&feature=relmfu or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIPrdg2_xNg&feature=related or something Like them.....Something to clear my head and slow down my breathing....to suspend time briefly away from what is about to happen in the club. It gives me “Center”. Then....I try...to just pick out a first song....and let the night develop from there. Granted most times....I walk in and the computer program is playing some dreadful Grunge or 1990’s Techno....which I try to blend out with a breakdown. Then it’s everybody for themselves. You get what you get depending on how I read my crowds. This night....the “crowd”...even the Early crowd....(*which was a Herbicidal Virgin crowd. Which I overheard talking as I was setting up...”oh that’s Herbie James....he’s Suppose to be good.”)...(*sly) So...I found my break to break In...and set out to “Train” them....again. Herbicidal Addicts. Club seems to be getting a new cross-over metro crowd since like I’ve said before....We Do serve up one of the hottest Big little parties that happen on the drive each week. You’ll see when you get there. Listening back though to the set....I see that the night was a bit about big synths...but you know they’ve been asking to get beat lately. (*and the Room has been sounding Much more....Thick....since we put the Rane in.) So, I Let ‘em ‘ave IT. By the first few songs...which by the way I apologize for, as I cut off about the first 20 mins....but, Hey....More reason you have to BE there soon. For a few Herbicidal Anthems....a few new hotties....I hook them...sexy Groove them....play ‘em things you May not hear anywhere else....they say. On Friday’s, I usually have critical mass by midnight and they stay till lights up late, which here, happens around about fifteen minutes from the end of part Four. So, get ‘em, and put ‘em on the player....the disclavier whatever.....light a candle....dress for a sexxxy night out....(*or an underwear party.)...and crank up the Big knob to high....hoist a tall one....and get there when you can for the real thing. (deep breath before the plunge.) Till then....Keep your heads to the sky. Call your mom. Support your Local DJ’s. Stop and Breathe. Be nice. Yabba Dabba Do. Hope to see you all on a floor near you soon. Love all around Herbie http://www.herbiejames.com http://www.gayinternetradiolive.com
