Show Notes (aka: the reality check your overachiever era didn't know it needed):This one's for my ambitious girls who are tired of running on empty, constantly trying to prove instead of position.Let me ask you straight up: Who told you you had to outwork everyone to win?Because the truth is… you don't.You don't need to beat the algorithm.You don't need to be everywhere, say everything, serve everyone.You just need to outwork three people — and one of them is you.In this episode, I'm breaking down:The past version of you who chose comfort over calling — and how to stop letting her leadThe woman who already has what you want — and why she's not your competition, she's your blueprintThe doubter in your life who's quietly hoping you'll quit — and how you're going to out-rise her in silenceHow friction = favor, and resistance = proof you're growing into your next levelWhy ICONs don't clap back — they cash checksWhy ICON FRIDAY™ is not a hype party — it's a holy assignment

Brad “Scarface” Jordan — Houston's own “every rapper's favorite rapper” — turned 55, and he's celebrating like a man who earned every year. The iconic MC is hosting a massive 55th Birthday Bash & Concert at the Bayou Music Center (11/14/25), and the city is ready. This milestone hits different. Scarface spent the past few years fighting through some of the toughest health challenges of his life, and tonight feels like a victory lap that almost never happened. Before the party kicks off, Scarface sat down with Madd Hatta of Majic 102.1 for a conversation that quickly turned into one of the most honest interviews of his career. The tone shifted from serious to funny to deeply reflective, sometimes within the same sentence. Scarface spoke openly about the health scares that nearly took him out — the aortic aneurysm, the kidney transplant from his son, and the heart surgery he faced late last year. He admitted he didn't want the surgery at first. Someone had to talk him into it. That decision saved his life. He carried that reality with him into the interview. His voice carried the weight of survival but also the energy of a man who still has things to do. At one moment he told Hatta, “To die young was an honor… And if you got old, you lived twice.” It was the kind of line only Scarface could deliver — raw, poetic, and shaped by everything he has lived through. The conversation didn't stay in the heavy lane, though. Scarface lit up when talking about music. He broke down the storytelling in classics like “Can't Get Right.” He talked about the impact of his viral Tiny Desk performance, which introduced a new generation to the depth of his catalog. And even though he said he wasn't planning to make another album, he revealed that a documentary and a biopic are already in motion. His story is coming to the screen, finally. He also hinted that he might not be fully done with music. There's a spark there. You can hear it. Scarface didn't promise anything, but the door isn't shut, and fans know that once the creative urge hits him, history tends to follow. Tonight's event reflects that same spirit. The 55th Birthday Bash promises special guests, live band energy, and a room full of people who have grown up with his music. Scarface plans to greet fans personally. He wants the night to feel like a thank you — not just a performance, but a moment shared with the people who stood with him through the highs and the darkest lows. At 55, Scarface stands as more than a rapper. He is a living document of hip-hop. A survivor with stories still unfolding. A man who has walked right up to the edge of life and decided to come back with deeper purpose.
The lawyer died Nov. 2 at the age of 89.

Sean Combs, known to listeners as Puffy and P Diddy, remains at the center of some of the most dramatic headlines in music and pop culture today. Sentenced on October 3 to just over four years in federal prison after being found guilty of two prostitution-related charges in a Manhattan court, Combs now faces the sobering reality of incarceration after a decades-long run at the peak of the entertainment world. Judge Arun Subramanian, while acknowledging Combs' status as an “iconic” artist, did not shy away from the severity of the prosecutor's case, declaring that “a substantial sentence must be given to send a message to abusers and victims alike that abuse against women is met with real accountability.” Combs, visibly downcast during sentencing, apologized to ex-girlfriends and called his own past behavior “disgusting, shameful and sick,” according to reporting from AOL.Combs has since been moved to FCI Fort Dix, a federal prison in New Jersey where he is expected to participate in a residential drug treatment program, as CBS News New York reports. While the Bureau of Prisons lists his projected release date as May 8, 2028, there is speculation that if he successfully completes treatment, that date could be accelerated. CBS News confirms that the prison was selected in part to allow Combs better access to programs and family visitation.The legal unraveling of Combs' empire isn't contained to the criminal courts. According to Exposed Vocals, more than 50 civil suits are now linked to Combs, covering allegations that span decades. The steady pounding of litigation and testimony, including highly public accusations from both former associates and ex-girlfriends, has drawn out deep fissures in his carefully maintained public image.More sensational developments have also emerged inside prison walls. Izvestia and TMZ reported that Combs was recently caught by prison authorities consuming a home-brewed alcoholic concoction made from apples, Fanta soda, and sugar. This incident, which followed his statements about newfound sobriety and “spiritual rebirth,” raised further questions about his adjustment to prison life and even prompted brief discussions about moving him to a different facility.Separately, dark new allegations continue to surface. AudioBoom highlights a recent lawsuit involving a music producer who accuses Diddy of a disturbing act connected to the late Notorious B.I.G., an allegation steeped in symbolism given Combs' long association with Biggie's legacy.Listeners, the story of Sean Combs is still unfolding, with his legal fate, public standing, and musical legacy all hanging in the balance.

Because I broke down the 7 elements of your Brand Messaging Guide and why that document is literally the heartbeatof your brand.Truly, your brand messaging guide is the foundation of every single sale you make online (or the lack thereof!!!)But today... we're getting into what no one is saying, and probably what you've been feeling in your gut.If it's feeling harder to show up, if your content's not hitting like it used to, if you've got offers you're OBSESSED with but can't seem to get people to convert, it's not you. It is harder than ever because hello: trust recession and attention recession!So what does this mean? You have to get LETHAL level with your messaging. And say GOODBYE to your lack of a solid messaging guide that's actually built to scale.Icons know how to check the 6 boxes that attract and convert your dream clients and I want to make sure that you implement this in your business strategy, too! Best part? You don't have to figure it out because I've already build the system where you just have to plug in. BUT YOU NEED YOUR BRAND MESSAGING GUIDE TO DO SO!Let me make it SO MUCH EASIER for you bc BURNOUT is NOT THE VIBE, but the increased content demands are REAL!

You want sales that feel simple because your message is so sharp?You've gotta do this work first - OR I CAN DO IT FOR YOU!And honestly? 90% of business owners either:DO NOT have a Brand Messaging Guide,CANNOT locate it (or it's so outdated with collected dust all over it!)or are still winging it without one altogether (no wonder they're exhausted, don't know what to post, content feels hard and sales are stuck!)Babe. It gets to be so much easier, but you need to listen, act & move, sis!This is your permission slip to slow down just long enough to build the foundation that lets you go way faster later.This episode is your green light to power your business like a CEO.

Guests: Sean Menard, Toronto-based filmmaker and director of 'Run Terry Run' and Kirsten Fox, a director at the Terry Fox Foundation and Terry Fox's niece. Terry Fox is a Canadian institution. His crown of thick brown spirals, heathergrey 2.5 inch shorts, 'Marathon of Hope' shirt and prosthetic walking leg he fashioned to support athletic capacity are legendary markers of a truly extraordinary human being. But there's so much more to Fox than just these instantly recognizable symbols. Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope is an incredible feat that has captivated Canadians young and old for decades, but who was he really when the media vans dispersed and the crowds went home? Sean Menard's newest documentary 'Run Terry Run' aims to show viewers the human behind the hero using 45-year-old footage that hitherto sat unseen in a Fox family storage locker. Today on This Matters, we speak with Toronto-based filmmaker and a director at the Terry Fox Foundation, Sean Menard as well as Terry Fox's niece, Kirsten Fox, to discuss Terry's prevailing legacy, the tech-primitive world of the 1980s and what 'Run Terry Run' taught Kirsten about her late uncle.

Seldom do people enter pro wrestling and excel in both aspects: athleticism and talking on the microphone. Kurt Angle is unique in that regard. Of course, the wrestling end was easy as he had recently won a gold medal in 1996 in amateur wrestling (famously with a broken “freakin” neck) when he entered WWE. But surprisingly, he was also a gifted talker. Quickly, Angle was on top of the world, feuding with stars like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock.

It's the brand new legal drama series from Ryan Murphy now streaming on Disney+.

054 - Bugonia, Dir. Yorgos Lanthimos Bruce Springsteen is a cultural and musical Icon of his time. A Rockstar that wrote and sang for the common man, the blue-collar worker. His name is one that people know and time will never forget. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is a very small piece of that timeline, set in the years before "Born in the USA" while working on his "Nebraska" album adapted from the novel by Warren Zanes. The catch to this film? It's a much slower look into those years and his almost crippling depression. Jeremy Allen White is fantastic, as always, along with his supporting cast. Springsteen fans will enjoy this. 0:00:00 - Introductions and Banter 0:09:00 - Box Office 0:19:45 - Movie Recommendation- Nightcrawler, Dir.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton remains a headline force as November 2025 unfolds with several major developments. One story rocketing across both mainstream outlets and social media was Dolly's unexpected health scare, which began when her sister Freida Parton posted on Facebook asking fans to join her in prayer for Dolly who, it was stated, “hasn't been feeling her best lately.” This triggered a wave of concern and speculation until Dolly herself posted a reassuring video on Instagram declaring, “I ain't dead yet!” and telling fans she's working hard between treatments, having let her health slip after husband Carl Dean's passing earlier this year. Dolly insists her issues are manageable, though she did postpone some public appearances and Las Vegas concert dates to focus on treatment and recovery. She emphasized, “I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working.” This candid approach, amplified by outlets like AOL and USA Today, has put rumors to bed for now, though some sources such as RadarOnline continue to dwell on unconfirmed kidney issues and canceled appearances.On the business front, Dolly is full throttle with hospitality and tourism expansion. According to multiple outlets including Blooloop, People, and KIIM-FM, she has just opened reservations for her much-touted SongTeller Hotel in Nashville, set for a June 2026 grand opening. Embracing her trademark Southern style, the hotel features 245 rooms and themed music venues Jolene's and Dolly's Live. Perhaps the biggest draw will be the adjoining Life of Many Colors Museum on the third floor, a sprawling immersive exhibition of Dolly's career, which she promises will be the “largest exhibit celebrating her life anywhere to date.” Both the hotel and museum are being touted as Dolly's “love letter to the city of Nashville,” with advance museum tickets selling briskly according to several reports.Dollywood also remains in the spotlight as Dolly and her partners at Herschend Family Entertainment reveal ambitious plans for five resorts and a possible expansion toward year-round operation by 2050, outlined in Knoxville News Sentinel. Four hundred acres are already reserved for new lodging, with themes and activities all referencing moments from Dolly's life, ensuring a lasting connection for visitors and the next generation of fans.On the cultural and performance circuit, Dolly's multimedia project Threads: My Songs in Symphony is set for a North Carolina Symphony premiere later this month, with Parton appearing on screen to narrate her story and introduce new orchestral versions of hits such as Jolene and I Will Always Love You. Meanwhile, her hit-packed musical 9 to 5 will be staged at Interlochen Arts Academy on November 16th, highlighting her enduring influence on stage and screen.On social media, Dolly's TikTok account exploded once more when she reposted her previously recorded stripped-down cover of What's Up with original songwriter Linda Perry, cleverly capitalizing on the viral “What's Up Beez in the Trap” mashup phenomena. Fans and celebrities are pouring on praise: “Dolly is my President,” reads one TikTok comment, reinforcing her unbeatable status as a cross-generational icon.In publishing, Dolly is the subject of a new biography, Ain't Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Dolly Parton, scheduled for December 30, 2025, and a coffee table book Star of the Show: My Life on Stage arriving November 11.Rounding things out, Pirates Voyage and other Parton-affiliated attractions are set for holiday themed shows and special events—further cementing Dolly's status not only as a star but as a multi-industry mogul who refuses to slow down, despite the recent spate of health rumors. For now, the queen of country looks ready for her next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This episode examines the monumental strategic and technological changes sweeping through the cruise industry, from the urgent quest for net-zero emissions to the redefining of onboard experiences and fleet demographics.Decarbonization at a Crossroads (The Fuel Challenge): The industry is accelerating efforts toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions, focusing on a multi-fuel strategy. LNG remains the most practical choice for new ships in the near term, supplemented by drop-in fuels to meet IMO 2030 and 2040 goals. However, operators face hurdles, including supply constraints for sustainable options like bio-LNG, which requires complex solutions like the book-and-claim model to verify green attributes. Methanol is gaining traction, requiring specialized tank construction, as seen with ships like Disney Adventure. While biofuels offer easy retrofitting for existing fleets, feedstock constraints and sustainability documentation standards limit their scalability. Long-term options like hydrogen face significant challenges due to low energy density and the vast infrastructure investments required. Beyond fuels, digitalization is critical for optimizing energy use and delivering immediate emissions reductions through data analytics. Shipowners remain hesitant to invest heavily in unproven technologies without established supply networks and cost-effective options.The Icon Debut (Legend of the Seas): Royal Caribbean's third Icon-class vessel, Legend of the Seas, is set for a July 2026 debut, initially sailing the Mediterranean before repositioning to Fort Lauderdale for Caribbean routes. The ship will feature world-first entertainment, including the debut of Broadway's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at sea, alongside the renowned AquaTheater and the largest ice arena at sea, Absolute Zero. Culinary innovations include the Hollywoodland Supper Club, inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood, and the Royal Railway's Legend Station, an immersive, story-driven dining experience tracing Marco Polo's Silk Route. Thrill-seekers can try the Category 6 waterpark and the Crowns Edge ropes course, which ziplines 154 feet above the ocean. The ship is currently in the outfitting phase following its August 2023 float-out.P&O's Adults-Only Shift: P&O Cruises is strategically opening its formerly adults-only ships, Arcadia and Aurora, to select family-friendly sailings starting December 2026. This shift addresses the increasing market demand for multi-generational holiday options. This change has generated mixed reactions, with some long-time passengers expressing concern that the children will disrupt the tranquil atmosphere cultivated over nearly 20 years. While families are excited for options on smaller, traditional ships, P&O will only provide family-friendly entertainment, children's menus, and amenities like bottle warmers, not dedicated kids clubs or babysitting services. Passengers booked before the change have the option to switch to another adults-only cruise or receive a full refund if they act by December 1, 2025.

In this section of Homily Five, St. Isaac draws deeply from the ancient well of ascetical wisdom, weaving together the practical counsel of St. Ephraim with his own luminous vision of divine providence. His teaching moves with precision from the diagnosis of sin to the healing of the soul, from the vigilance of self-knowledge to the vision of God's mercy revealed through trial. St. Ephraim's words set the tone: every spiritual illness must be treated by its proper remedy. One cannot overcome a vice through random struggle or general good intentions, but only by applying a medicine suited to the disease. Just as heat is not fought with more heat, so envy, pride, and wrath are not healed through self-will or argument, but through the contrary virtues: humility, patience, and mercy. For St. Isaac, this is the beginning of ascetic discernment. The wise man learns to recognize the first stirrings of passion, and “plucks it up while it is still small,” knowing that what begins as a passing thought can quickly become a tyrant ruling the soul. Negligence is the mother of bondage. From this root teaching springs one of St. Isaac's central themes: the blessedness of patient endurance. The one who can suffer wrong with joy, though he has the means to defend himself, has entered into the mystery of the Cross. To bear insult without resentment, to be accused unjustly and respond with humility—these, he says, are the highest forms of virtue, admired even by the angels. Such endurance is not weakness but divine strength, the quiet radiance of faith proven by trial. Here we find the echo of the Beatitudes and of the Apostle's words, “When I am weak, then I am strong.” St. Isaac then warns against a subtler danger: self-confidence. “Do not believe yourself to be strong until you are tempted and find yourself superior to change.” Virtue untested is unproven. To imagine oneself firm before temptation is to invite a fall, for pride blinds the soul to its own frailty. True strength is born only from humility, the knowledge of one's dependence upon God. Likewise, knowledge itself can become a snare when it is not rooted in meekness. A “meek tongue” and “sweet lips” reveal a heart governed by peace rather than pride. Those who do not boast of their struggles or their gifts are preserved from shame, while those who glory in their works are permitted to stumble, that humility may be learned through experience. The culmination of this passage is the vision of divine providence, which St. Isaac presents not as an abstract doctrine but as an experience granted to the purified heart. God's care, he says, surrounds all, yet it is seen only by those who have cleansed themselves of sin and fixed their gaze upon Him. In times of trial, when the soul stands for the truth, this providence becomes radiant and tangible—as though seen with bodily eyes. God reveals Himself most clearly in suffering, granting His servants courage and consolation. As He strengthened Jacob, Joshua, the Three Youths, and Peter, so too He anoints all who endure affliction for His sake. In these paragraphs, St. Isaac sketches the entire map of the ascetical path. The soul begins with vigilance, pulling up the roots of passion before they grow. It advances through endurance, learning the joy hidden in unjust suffering. It is tested in humility, discovering that self-reliance is the greatest enemy. And finally, it arrives at the vision of providence, seeing that all things—even trials and delays—are instruments of divine love. The warfare is inward, but the victory is divine. The heart that ceases to rely on itself learns to rest in God, and the eyes once blinded by passion come to behold His mercy shining through every storm. This is the medicine of the soul and the peace of those who have learned the wisdom of the Cross. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:25 Fr.
