Is God calling you to something—but you're not sure what steps to take? Do you need simple, clear, biblical direction so you can finally move in the way He's leading? In a world louder than ever, we need bold, obedient Christian voices—women willing to step away from the noise, listen for God's direction, and confidently share the message He's placed inside them. This episode is anchored in the truth of Isaiah 30:21: "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" God is still speaking—and He will show you the way. In this powerful and practical conversation, Stefanie Gass and I sit down to help you: 1️⃣ Get clarity on what God is calling you to do 2️⃣ Discern His voice from the noise of the world and social media 3️⃣ Identify the first simple, doable steps you can take today 4️⃣ Hear Stef's rock-bottom, surrender story and how it changed everything 5️⃣ Learn how to start sharing your God-given voice with confidence and courage

We live in a world obsessed with "fixing" problems — fixing our flaws, fixing our money, fixing our lives. But what if the goal was never to eliminate problems… but to choose better ones? In this episode, Paige reframes the entire concept of "having problems" and shows you why a problem-free life is not only impossible… it's undesirable. She breaks down the difference between low-quality problems that drain your power and high-quality problems that expand it, and reveals why the challenges you choose determine the life you create. This is a grounding, perspective-shifting conversation that will help you stop fighting reality, stop expecting life to be easier than it is, and start choosing problems that align with your values, identity, and the future you want. By the end of the episode you will: Understand why problems never disappear — they simply evolve as you do Identify the "low-quality problems" that are keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or resentful Learn how to choose higher-quality problems that move you toward growth, purpose, and emotional peace See where you've been unintentionally creating unnecessary suffering through avoidance, urgency, or perfectionism Feel empowered to approach your money, relationships, career, and daily life with more intention — and far less self-judgment   Work with Paige: Join my Elevate Workshop: End Emotional Shopping & Expand Your Inner Wealth Use the code "OOPOD100" at checkout to get $100 off your investment   Join Overcoming Overspending HERE   Connect with Paige Online: Her Website IG: @overcoming_overspending TikTok: @overcoming_overspending Subscribe to Paige's YouTube Channel

Title: Season 5 Episode 1 – "Yielding Peaceful Fruit" (Rewire Your Brain Podcast) Summary: Welcome to Season 5 of the Rewire Your Brain Podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bagwell. In this Season 5 premier episode titled "Yielding Peaceful Fruit," I share with you a bit about the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, how God gave us way more power over our thoughts than we could ever imagine and the super easy prompts that help us focus in on Jesus and the positive things He is doing in our lives. Season 5 has two new updates to the format- 1) You no longer need to pause and unpause between prompts (this helps minimize an influx of beta brain waves during prayer time) and 2)I have updated the affirmations section to specifically target rewiring over negative neural pathways. Each prompt draws you closer to Jesus and helps you to see Him and all the miracles He has placed throughout your day more clearly.  Today's scripture is Hebrews 12:11 and we are talking about areas of our life that God is pruning and areas that have yielded peaceful fruit.      

Hi Sweet Caregiver! Today, we're talking about decisions. Or more specifically, unmade decisions. You know that feeling when you walk into your closet and see those three bags of clothes you've been meaning to donate for six months? Or when you open your email and there are 47 unread messages staring back at you? Or when you stand in front of the pantry at 5 PM, absolutely paralyzed about what to make for dinner... again? That feeling? That's your stress bucket overflowing. And here's what most of us don't realize: every unmade decision in your life is actively adding stress to your body. Right now. As we speak. Today, I want to share with you how unmade decisions are literally keeping your nervous system in a state of chronic stress, what the science says about this, what the Bible teaches us through the story of Jonah, and most importantly—how knowing your core values can help you make decisions that actually reduce stress instead of creating more. So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's talk about how we can start emptying that stress bucket, one decision at a time.

Shorter days, less sunlight, gray skies, and changes in routine can mess with your mood and energy. In the Pacific Northwest, Sara calls it the Big Dark for a reason. In this episode, she breaks down why the winter blues happen, why they hit harder when you are alcohol free, and the practical strategies that help you stay grounded instead of slipping backward. Sara shares the story of her first winter living in a camper trailer on the land while building her house. The lack of natural light, heavy rain, and isolation hit stronger than expected, and it became the first time she truly understood how intense the winter blues can feel, even deep into sobriety. She now approaches every winter with intention and has built a winter-specific sober toolkit to stay emotionally steady. Through personal experience and research, this episode teaches you how to recognize winter blues, how to distinguish them from seasonal affective disorder, and how to protect your alcohol free identity during the months when cravings or old coping mechanisms may begin whispering again. You will leave with five winter-proof strategies that help you stay energized, connected, and proud of your choices, even when the season feels heavy. What You Will Learn 1. Why the Winter Blues Happen How reduced sunlight lowers serotonin. How longer darkness disrupts circadian rhythm, leading to fatigue, fog, and increased melatonin. Why people in northern latitudes are more susceptible. How environmental factors like rain, darkness, and isolation intensify the emotional dip. 2. How Winter Impacts Your Alcohol Free Journey Lower mood plus lower energy can increase cravings and relapse risk. Lack of motivation can sabotage routines that usually protect your sobriety. Social withdrawal and loneliness can make old patterns feel nostalgic or tempting. Winter can become a unique season in your recovery, requiring specialized tools and preparation. 3. How to Know Whether It Is the Winter Blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder Winter blues tend to be mild and temporary. SAD is more persistent, more intense, and repeats each winter. Sara stresses the importance of not minimizing clinical depression and reaching out for professional support when needed. 4. Five Strategies to Protect Your Sobriety This Winter Light exposure and environment Use a light therapy lamp. Increase brightness in your indoor spaces or embrace warm lighting if it brings comfort. Explore vitamin D supplementation. Get your face outside for whatever sunlight exists that day. Routine and structure Keep consistent wake times. Resist the urge to retreat into isolation. Anchor habits that reinforce your non-drinker identity. Maintain community engagement even when motivation dips. Movement, connection, and purpose Move daily even when it is dark or rainy. Bundle up, put on the rain gear, and get outside. Plan intentional social touchpoints. Reaffirm your personal why and your identity as a non-drinker. Ask for support when things feel off Speak up early. Share your experience with a partner or community. Build a winter strategy before you are struggling. Seek professional care if symptoms feel intense or prolonged. Mindset reframing See winter as a season of reinvention rather than defeat. Lean into coziness, warmth, and slow living. Remember that you no longer use alcohol to numb through winter. Identify at least one win each day that happens because you did not drink. Key Takeaway The winter blues are real, and they are rooted in biology and environment. But with preparation and intentional practice, you can navigate this season with confidence instead of slipping into old patterns. Winter can become a powerful part of your alcohol free story, a season of inner strengthening, and a time to build the resilient version of yourself who will step boldly into spring.

Welcome to episode 224 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will study spiritual warfare 101.  Key takeaways:   Most Americans live as practical atheists when it comes to spiritual warfare—we acknowledge spiritual forces intellectually but live as if only physical forces matter. Lions don't roar when hunting—they roar to terrify prey into panic. Satan often uses intimidation and fear rather than direct attack. Satan seeks total destruction, not just temporary setbacks. Persecution is the roar by which he tries to intimidate believers in the hope that they will capitulate at the prospect of suffering. The world system promises what it cannot provide—lasting satisfaction, security, and significance. Our conquest isn't based on our strength but on Christ's love demonstrated at the cross. I'm burdened when believers tell me, 'I'm not good at memorizing Scripture.' Friend, you're not memorizing for a test—you're loading ammunition for a war.  Quotable:   Satan roars to paralyze us with fear, but he conquers through the small compromises we tolerate.  Application:   We don't fight for victory but from victory. Christ has already won; we enforce His victory. Effective spiritual warfare prayer includes: Confession of sin to remove footholds Praise and worship to enthrone God Intercession for others under attack Declaration of God's truth over lies Identify one area where Satan has been gaining ground—write it down, confess it, and ask God to remind you of your victory over it. Pray specifically for other believers under attack. Satan loves isolated Christians. We're stronger together.  Connect with us:   Web site:  https://springbaptist.org   Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)   https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)   Need us to pray for you?

Building a strong company starts with strategic foundations for business growth. In Part 1 of our interview with Charly Leetham, we explore how clarity, customer understanding, and simple systems help businesses grow with confidence. Her insights show how the right strategic groundwork leads to long-term success. About Charly Leetham Charly Leetham brings more than 40 years of hands-on experience in building practical, reliable systems for small businesses. She earned her amateur radio license at 13, became an electronic engineer by 21, and completed her MBA while working full-time and raising two young children. Her career has spanned technical support, sales, project management, and client services, giving her a deep understanding of both technology and people. After running multiple franchises and overcoming a major business setback, she founded Ask Charly Leetham—now a long-standing digital services company supporting clients across Australia, the U.S., and beyond. Known for her clear, no-nonsense approach, Charly specializes in turning complex tech into simple, workable solutions. She also hosts Rise and Shine – Your Business Tech Boost, offering practical guidance to business owners who want answers they can trust. Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website Strategic Business Foundations Start With the Right Questions Charly opened the conversation with a key insight: you cannot build a strong business without asking strong questions. These questions shape your strategic business foundations and guide the decisions that follow. "Before you build, you must know what you're building and why." – Charly Leetham Too many business owners rush into action without defining their audience or validating the problem they're trying to solve. Charly recommends asking: Who is the ideal customer? What problem are we solving? Why does this solution matter? How will we measure success? These questions are simple, yet they prevent misalignment and wasted effort. Understanding Your Customer Is Key to Strategic Business Foundations Charly highlighted that meaningful customer insight is essential. Many entrepreneurs claim to understand their customers, but they rely on assumptions rather than evidence. This weakens their strategic business foundations and often leads to products that miss the mark. She encourages leaders to: Listen actively Observe behavior, not just opinions Identify real pain points Understand motivation and constraints "Your customers will tell you what they need—if you give them space to speak." This approach ensures your solution fits the customer's world—not just your idea of it. Simplicity Strengthens Strategic Business Foundations One of Charly's most powerful insights is the importance of simplicity. Many founders believe complexity signals value, but Charly argues that clarity creates far stronger strategic business foundations. She recommends: Stripping out non-essential features Using simple, direct language Focusing on the core value Removing any friction that confuses customers "If your customer can't understand what you do, they won't buy from you." Simplicity improves messaging, operations, and customer experience. Systems and Processes Anchor Your Strategic Business Foundations According to Charly, strong systems are not optional—they're essential. Businesses often wait too long to document processes or create workflows. This delay weakens their strategic business foundations and makes growth harder. Systems help businesses: Deliver consistently Delegate confidently Provide predictable customer experiences Avoid repeated mistakes Scale with stability Templates, automations, and repeatable processes transform chaos into structure. Final Thoughts: Building Strategic Business Foundations That Last Part 1 of our interview with Charly Leetham offers a powerful reminder: success begins with strategic business foundations. When you ask the right questions, understand your customers, simplify your offerings, and build systems early, you create a business that can grow with confidence and purpose. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore how automation, alignment, and intentional tools help businesses expand on these foundations and operate more efficiently.

As the year winds down and the holidays roll in, it's so easy to lose momentum. Maybe you started strong this year - focused, intentional, full of faith…but somewhere along the way, life got busy. The calendar filled up, routines slipped, and now you're tempted to say, “I'll just start fresh in the new year.” But what if you didn't have to wait for January 1st to get back on track? What if this season, right here in the middle of the hustle and bustle, could actually be the moment God teaches you what consistency really looks like? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we unpack 3 powerful keys to building consistency in your faith, habits, and daily life…especially when everything feels chaotic or out of rhythm. Remember, that consistency isn't about perfection…it's about progress. It's showing up with what you have, trusting that God can multiply your small steps into something extraordinary. You'll learn how to: 1️⃣ Forecast wisely - take an honest inventory of your current commitments, understand what this season actually requires of you, and plan from your present reality - not a past version of yourself. 2️⃣ Identify the true voice of consistency - the one that sounds like an encourager, a “sis” cheering you on and reminding you of your why, not the voice of perfection that criticizes every mistake. 3️⃣ Recenter your perspective with God's truth - because as Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” If you've been feeling inconsistent, distracted, or ready to hit the reset button, this episode will encourage you to redefine what consistency looks like and remind you that God honors your obedience - not your perfection. ✨ Because consistency isn't about doing everything right - it's about showing up, trusting God with the process, and believing that He's still working, even in the middle.

Wultra provides post-quantum authentication for banks, fintechs, and governments—protecting digital identities from emerging quantum computing threats. In this episode, Peter Dvorak shares how he broke into the notoriously closed banking ecosystem by leveraging his early experience in mobile banking development. From navigating multi-stakeholder enterprise sales to positioning quantum-safe cryptography when the threat timeline remains uncertain (consensus: 2035, but could accelerate), Peter reveals the specific strategies required to sell mission-critical security infrastructure to regulated financial institutions. Topics Discussed How post-quantum cryptography runs on classical computers while protecting against quantum threats Why European banking regulation drives global authentication standards The multi-stakeholder sales process: quantum threat teams, CISOs, CTOs, and digital product owners Conference strategy and analyst relationships (Gartner, KuppingerCole) for category positioning Banking budget cycles and why June/July approaches fail Breaking the "who else is using this?" barrier with banking-specific proof points Positioning as the only post-quantum cryptography provider for digital identity in banking GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Layer future-proofing onto immediate ROI: Post-quantum cryptography doesn't require quantum computers to function—it runs on classical infrastructure while providing superior security. Peter sells banks on moving from SMS OTP to mobile app authentication (tangible, immediate benefit) while positioning quantum resistance as migration insurance: "You won't have to rip-and-replace in three years." For emerging tech, anchor value in today's operational wins, not future scenarios. Give struggling departments concrete wins: Large banks have quantum threat teams tasked with replacing every piece of software by 2030-2035. Peter gives them measurable progress: "We move you from 5% to 10% completion on authentication and digital identity." These teams need defensible projects to justify their existence. Identify which internal groups are fighting for relevance and deliver projects they can report upward. Banking references are binary gatekeepers: Every bank asks "who else is using this?" Non-banking customers (telcos, gaming, lottery) don't count—banking regulation and systems are fundamentally different. The first banking customer is the hardest barrier. Once cleared, subsequent conversations become tractable. Budget aggressively to land that first bank, even at unfavorable terms. Respect the annual budget cycle: Banks allocate resources 12 months ahead. Approaching in Q2/Q3 means budgets are locked—even free POCs fail because internal resources are committed. Peter's pipeline strategy: build relationships and maintain visibility throughout the year, then activate when budget windows open. Don't confuse market education with active pipeline. Map and sequence multi-stakeholder buys: Authentication purchases require alignment across quantum threat teams (if they exist), cybersecurity/compliance, CTO/CIO (infrastructure acceptance), and digital product owners (UX concerns affecting their KPIs). Start at director level—board executives are too removed from technical details. Research each bank's org structure before engaging, then tailor sequencing. EU regulatory leadership creates expansion vectors: European regulations like PSD2 and strong authentication requirements get replicated in Southeast Asia, MENA, and other regions. Peter benefits from solving EU compliance first, then riding regulatory diffusion. The US remains fragmented with smaller regional banks still using username/password. Founders should analyze which geographies lead regulatory adoption in their category. Maintain composure through 18+ month cycles: Peter's regret: losing his temper during negotiations cost him time. Banking doesn't buy impulsively—sales require patience through lengthy security reviews, compliance checks, and committee approvals.

Gerard Grubb is determined to find the most profitable nitrogen rates for growing corn on his Mildmay, Ont. farm. Grubb says the farm, which has been no-tilled since 2000, has the potential to yield 250 bushels per acre, but he's not chasing the highest yield; he wants to dial in his nitrogen rates to produce...

Welcome to season 4, episode 6 of the Stock Trading for Beginners Podcast!When I first started trading, charts felt random and frustrating—until I learned the breakout backtest strategy. It transformed my portfolio, and now beginners in our group are spotting consistent setups in weeks. Building on last episode's "buy at support, sell at resistance" framework, here we discuss the precise entry points for low-risk trades in bullish stocks. Listen for a simple, patient approach that minimizes stress and maximizes wins.Resource:Join our FREE Skool group: https://www.skool.com/tradingKey Topics:Step 1: Spot Proven Winners and Build Your WatchlistFocus on bullish stocks in uptrends for low-risk trades—nothing rises straight up, so capitalize on natural rhythms. Diversify with speculative trend-changers if your risk tolerance allows, but beginners should stick to strong performers. Use AI like Grok or ChatGPT to generate 30-50 bullish stock ideas (e.g., heading into 2026). Or grab our free list in the Skool group. Confirm uptrends on TradingView's weekly chart: Look for higher highs/lows (market structure) and Ichimoku Cloud (above lines with green future cloud = bullish). Example: Coinbase post-April 2025 shows bullish engulfing candles and volatility but upward trend; avoid pre-2025 bearish phases with lower highs/lows.Step 2: Wait for the PullbackPatience is key—don't chase breakouts or buy at resistance, a common beginner mistake leading to panic sells. Overextended stocks reverse sharply; recent October 2025 red days (5-20% drops) follow massive prior gains (50-100%). Identify resistance (prior highs, indicators) and let price come to you. Pullbacks are healthy for momentum—buyers step in at support, positioning you for the next leg up.Step 3: Enter at Support ZonesWhen pullbacks hit support with confluence (multiple indicators aligning), that's your low-risk entry. Use Ichimoku Cloud, Fibonacci, Gann Squares, or flipped resistance. Don't fear red days—they're buying opportunities. In volatile markets like November 2025, enter cautiously to avoid deeper retracements. This yields high win rates, low stress, and high rewards as bullish stocks resume uptrends.TakeawaysDon't chase—build a watchlist, confirm trends, wait for pullbacks, and enter at support for conviction and gains. This strategy boosted my portfolio this year and helps our community trade flexibly without constant monitoring. Start with a few stocks to build skills.For video lessons, modules (e.g., on Ichimoku), weekly analysis, and details on my new beginner chart-reading program, join the Skool group at https://www.skool.com/trading. More podcasts coming—see you next episode!Send me some feedback!Join Our Free Community on Skool:https://www.skool.com/trading

Last week we spotted an invitation to an event in Hamilton that had us intrigued; it was a conversation about how artificial intelligence can help identify the birds singing around us. We hear so much about how terrible AI is, we wanted to learn about how it could be used for good. Dr Andrew Lensen certainly thinks it can be, he's a computer scientist leading MBIE-funded "AI for good" work, including using computer vision to recognise individual kaka and related projects on kiwi call recognition.

Pastor Andy Cass A puzzle that's 99.9% finished is still 100% frustrating — because one missing piece changes everything. You are meant to be placed in the puzzle, a unique and essential piece in the beautiful picture God is putting together. Every piece matters. Every person has purpose. God has entrusted each of us with something valuable; time, gifts, opportunities, and influence. He expects us to use them faithfully. TEXT Matthew 25:14–19, Matthew 25:21, Matthew 7:11, 2 Corinthians 9:8, James 5:16, Isaiah 55:11, Philippians 1:6, 1 Samuel 3:10 NOTES: BIG IDEA: God's goal for your life(and leadership) is to be Productive, Effective, Successful, and Finished. -Productive in purpose -Effective in impact -Successful in obedience -Finished in faith. Big Question: How can I be considered “the good and faithful servant?” The Plan: -Leverage your strengths. -Identify your strengths. -What if God could use your S.H.A.P.E.?

Why do so many people feel like they have to shrink at work? Why do smart, capable leaders still battle self-doubt, burnout, and the pressure to hide who they really are? And what would happen if you finally showed up as your full self—without fear, without armor, and without apology?In this powerful episode, we sit down with Claude Silver, the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX and a global voice for heart-centered leadership. Claude is on a mission to transform workplace culture and redefine what true leadership looks like. She partners with Gary Vaynerchuk to drive Vayner's people-first success, has earned Campaign US's Female Frontier Award and AdWeek's Changing the Game Award, and speaks to teams at Meta, Google, U.S. Government agencies, the Armed Forces, and audiences worldwide. Featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal, she is also the author of Be Yourself at Work, a guide to replacing fear and conformity with authenticity and emotional courage.Through her lived wisdom and candid storytelling, Claude shows how embracing your humanity is not a liability—it's a leadership advantage. Get ready to rethink how you work, lead, connect, and show up every day.Quotes:"You are the CEO of your life. You are not here to live someone else's life or fit a mold—they don't want you to.""Empathy isn't me putting myself in your shoes; it's riding shotgun with you and asking, 'How can I support you?'""Consistency is the key. Showing up the same way, pretty much every day, is my greatest strength."Actionable Takeaways:Reflect on your authenticity: Ask yourself, “What is it costing me to not show up as my full self at work?” Identify one way you can bring more of your true self into your professional life this week.Practice intentional empathy: Reach out to a colleague or loved one, and instead of trying to solve their issue, simply ask, “How can I support you?” Focus on listening and understanding their unique experience.Set and communicate healthy boundaries: Define your start and end times for work, and communicate them clearly to empower yourself and model boundaries for others.Commit to self-awareness: Regularly journal or check in with yourself to recognize personal triggers and areas for growth. Consider identifying one habit or reaction you want to work on.Conclusion:Claude's message is a powerful reminder that the most impactful leaders aren't the ones who hide behind titles or toughness—they're the ones who lead with honesty, empathy, and heart. When you stop shrinking and start showing up as your true self, you create space for others to do the same. This episode challenges you to rethink how you lead, how you work, and who you're becoming. Your voice, your story, and your humanity are your greatest strengths—so bring them forward boldly.

Religion says, “Do better.”Grace says, “It's done.”We live in a culture addicted to performance — grades, promotions, followers, results. The world teaches us that our worth depends on what we produce. When that mentality seeps into faith, it strangles grace.Since Eden, humanity has tried to earn what only Heaven can give. Every false religion repeats the same lie: “If I can climb high enough or behave well enough, God will finally accept me.”But the Gospel obliterates that lie.Grace doesn't climb to God — grace comes down to man.OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY'S DISCUSSION IS:

The clear teaching of Jesus is that there is only one that is responsible for the evil in this world. Clearly Jesus indicts Satan for human suffering and moral evil. He is the one that comes only to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came to bring life, abundant life. Jesus exonerates God in every way of any complicity with evil. He is pure light, goodness and love.

All high performing men and women struggle to transfer the high performing traits into at least one other area of life. The CEO who is 50lbs overweight. The dynamic team builder who is on the brink of divorce. Part and parcel to success is the dichotomy of a driven personality and focus that becomes a hurdle in other areas of life.  But what if you could take what made you successful in one area and learn to transfer that success into other areas without sitting around and talking about your feelings? That's where ABA or applied behavioral analysis comes in.  Join host Steve Cutler, The Executive Fitness Coach and CEO of EVOLVE International as he discusses how high performing men and women can make drastic changes in life by applying a system of behavior change rooted in measurable and visible change.  In this episode Steve and behavioral change expert Sarah Welsh discuss why ABA is a more impactful and more practical approach for high performers, why most people misunderstand the science of motivation and how you can start a process of lasting change today.  Sarah Welsh is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst based in Columbus, OH, who helps high-performing individuals build lasting systems for success in health, business, and personal growth. She's worked with former professional athletes, executive teams, founders, lawyers, and medical professionals to create lasting behavior change and consistency in their daily lives. Excited about an analytic approach to personal development, she uses her AMMI framework - Assess, Monitor, Manage, and Identify. Sarah helps clients break down their habits, analyze the systems maintaining their behavior, and rebuild them intentionally. Her work bridges behavioral science with real-world performance, teaching people how to think like a behavior analyst in their own lives so they continue leveling up long after coaching ends.   Connect with Sarah:   Web: www.catalystbehaviorproject.com    IG: https://www.instagram.com/sarahwelshbehavior/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-welsh-a403a531a/   Follow Us!

Anthony Lye joined Quid 14 months ago to lead a complete business model transformation. With three decades in Silicon Valley including executive roles at Palantir, NetApp, Oracle, and Siebel Systems, Anthony has operated through every major technology disruption. At Quid, he's dismantling the traditional SaaS playbook—eliminating seat-based pricing, collapsing the software/services separation, and refocusing the entire company on delivering measurable business outcomes rather than analytics tools. In this conversation, Anthony explains why most SaaS companies will fail in the AI era, how Palantir's forward-deployed engineering model creates defensible value, and the specific mental models founders need to reimagine their businesses before disruption makes the decision for them. Topics Discussed How Silicon Valley's technology oligopolies turn over every five years  Why AI shifts technology from features to benefits for the first time  Quid's transformation from social listening SaaS to outcome-based insights delivery  The separation of software and services as a structural flaw in SaaS economics  How forward-deployed engineers at Palantir and Quid collapse the services layer  Why SaaS failed knowledge workers while email remained dominant Discontinuity theory and how oligopolies resist then capitulate to disruption  The "fired tomorrow, compete with yourself" thought experiment for strategy clarity  How to build executive teams as custodians rather than functional heads GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Collapse software and services into outcome delivery: Quid eliminated seat-based pricing and module sales, shifting from IT budget to labor budget by selling insights, trends, and actionable information directly. This repositioned the product from a tool requiring sophisticated data scientists to a team augmentation service protecting brand health and driving commerce decisions. The business model change fundamentally altered buyer, buying process, and deal economics. When your product requires customization or professional services to deliver value, you've identified a structural opportunity to collapse both layers. Deploy the "fired and competing" thought exercise: Anthony's mentor advised imagining your board fires you tomorrow and you immediately compete against your own company. List the three things you'd do on day one to win. Then ask why you're not doing those things now. This exercise cuts through organizational inertia and reveals the obvious strategic moves you're avoiding. The discomfort in your answers indicates where you need to act. Match decision velocity to execution needs, not comfort: Tom Brett at Menlo Ventures told Anthony to increase from 3-4 decisions weekly to 50. The forcing function prevents overthinking and eliminates "second guessing paralysis." Organizations need clarity and direction more than perfect decisions. Write down every decision, communicate it clearly, and publicly reverse course when wrong. This builds a culture where being decisive and correctable beats being slow and theoretically optimal. Recognize when your hypothesis expires: Quid's social listening thesis was correct initially, but markets evolved while the company didn't. The problem remained valid (understanding brand health, shopping trends, product innovation signals), but the SaaS tool-based solution became untenable as data complexity demanded sophisticated users, shrinking addressable market. Founders must distinguish between persistent customer problems and expired solution approaches. Your original hypothesis has an expiration date. Identify the ox that gets gored: Every deal requires customers to stop spending elsewhere. You must be 10x faster or one-tenth the cost to overcome status quo bias. Explicitly identify which vendor or budget line you're displacing, then validate your value proposition can actually displace it. Most startups fail this calculus and wonder why proof-of-concept success doesn't translate to procurement approval. Start with blank canvas, fail backwards to SaaS: When reimagining for AI, don't bolt features onto existing architecture. Begin with first principles about what customers actually want to accomplish, design that solution using current capabilities, then fall back to SaaS components only where necessary. Anthony warns that additive approaches preserve structural constraints that prevent you from capturing the full opportunity. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Carotid artery disease management has come a long way. From the days when every stroke meant an endarterectomy to a modern era defined by precision, evidence, and evolving technology. With advances in medical therapy and newer techniques like TCAR, the vascular surgeon has even more to consider when choosing the best treatment for carotid disease. Join us as we break down the major landmark trials NASCET, CREST and the Asymptomatic Carotid trials, and discuss how their findings shape our clinical decisions in practice today.

Is your school or district chasing improvement—but feeling like nothing sticks? You're not alone. Fragmentation and unclear goals might be the reason you're not seeing real change.In this episode, we go beyond theory and dive into a real-world case study of a school leadership team that thought they were aligned—until a simple conversation around “fluency routines” exposed deeper issues of misalignment. We explore how schools and systems can overcome the illusion of alignment by building true coherence—from a shared purpose to consistent support structures. Listeners will: ​​Identify signs of false alignment and fragmentation within their school or systemDiscover how to maintain autonomy at the school level while still supporting system-wide goalsSee how professional development, assessments, and resources must align with a common outcomeGain insight into how clarity at all levels—classroom, school, district—drives sustainable changeLearn how to initiate deep conversations that surface misalignment and lead to shared understandingWhether you're a district leader, coach, or classroom teacher, this episode will help you identify misalignment in your system and take concrete steps toward coherence.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Even high-net-worth retirees can fall into the trap of financial complexity, with multiple accounts, different advisors, and no clear strategy. In this episode, Joe Curry explains why simplifying your financial life can create more control, smarter tax planning, and greater peace of mind. Learn how coordination, clarity, and a single cohesive plan can strengthen your retirement income strategy.   Key Takeaways Complexity creates confusion and missed opportunities. When investments are scattered across institutions, it's hard to see the big picture — leading to inefficiency and inaction. Diversification isn't about having money with many advisors. Real diversification happens when your investments are coordinated under one structured portfolio that works in harmony. Simplification unlocks smarter tax planning. With a unified view, you can coordinate RRSP, TFSA, and non-registered withdrawals to minimize lifetime taxes and avoid OAS clawbacks. A coordinated plan gives you clarity and confidence. Seeing your full financial picture in one place makes it easier to make decisions and understand how each dollar supports your goals. An advisor helps you stay simple and strategic. A great advisor continually reviews, rebalances, and coordinates your plan — keeping things clear, efficient, and aligned with your life.   Resources YRPS Ep # 134 – Smart Tax Strategies for More Efficient Retirement Planning A previous episode of YRPS that touches on how to build a tax-efficient retirement income plan Book a Call with Matthews + Associates   Thank you for listening!

Eric speaks with two former law enforcement officers, Chris and Dave, regarding their experiences with hostage negotiation training and undercover work, particularly on a Vice detail involving arrests for public indecency and the pursuit of pedophiles. They discuss how the principles of negotiation skills, such as active listening, mirroring, and building rapport, are surprisingly transferable to the world of sales and everyday life. The conversation shifts to intense anecdotes from their police careers, including a close-quarters knife fight and the emotionally challenging nature of interviewing suspects like child predators. Finally, they touch upon the challenges of modern law enforcement, including political pressures and issues within their former department, concluding with a discussion of Dave's current local-focused podcast. Key Takeaways: Use active listening, mirroring, and paraphrasing techniques in everyday conversations. Mirroring is a simple technique of repeating a person's words to build rapport and prompt them to elaborate. Deliberately incorporate moments of silence into conversations to allow thoughts to gather and enhance impact. Continually practice negotiation philosophies because skills will degrade if you do not use them regularly. Identify potential verbal triggers beforehand so you know which topics or words to carefully avoid during sensitive discussions.

Send us a textThere's a voice in your head that's been quietly draining your wallet—and she sounds so reasonable.  “It's just $12.”  “You deserve it.” “This will finally fix everything.”That's not logic. That's your inner critic—a subconscious program designed to keep you safe through control, comparison, and consumption. And right now, as the holidays ramp up, she's the loudest she's been all year.In this episode of The Cosmic Valkyrie Podcast, Lynn Louise Larson—Master Certified Hypnotist and creator of the Evolution 10X Method—pulls back the curtain on how your critic hijacks your brain's reward system and tricks you into emotional spending. You'll learn the neuroscience and energetic mechanics behind impulse buying, why dopamine keeps you chasing that “quick fix,” and how to shift from willpower to alignment.

Thyroid nodules are growths on your thyroid. They are usually benign (not cancer). They may become overactive and make too much of the thyroid hormone. All types of hyperthyroidism are due to an overproduction of thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) causes your thyroid to make more thyroid hormone than your body needs. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body functions such as your metabolism (can cause unintentional weight loss) or a rapid or irregular heart rate.

In this tender, timely episode, Kathi Lipp welcomes her friend Tenneil Register to help listeners who feel the pressure to be merry when life hurts.

My Guest: Suzy Welch is known for co-founding the Jack Welch Management Institute and writing bestsellers like 10-10-10: A Life Transforming Idea. Her career includes roles as an editor-in-chief for Harvard Business Review, a crime reporter, and a professor. She teaches at NYU and is the best-selling author of Becoming You.  Key Learnings Purpose Requires Realism, Not Just Passion - Everyone wants to be the drummer in Disturbed, but that guy's good at drumming. My whole methodology is about realism. You have to know what your values are, what your interests are, but you better be good at it or forget it. Otherwise, it's a hobby. Values Are Choices, Not Virtues - Most people confuse values and virtues. Virtues are things like integrity, courage, and thankfulness... Behaviors we all should have more of. Values are choices about how you want to live, work, and relate. It's a value if it would drive who you married, what job you took, and where you went on vacation. There are 16 Measurable Values - Values exist on a continuum like a DNA profile. Scope reflects how exciting a life you want. Radius is how much you want to change the world systemically. Belovedness is how important an intimate relationship is to you. Work centrism is whether you love work for work's sake or if it's just a means to an end. Men Over 32 Value Romantic Relationships Most - We just got data showing that for men over the age of 32, belovedness is their number one value. It's much lower for women. Only 50% of people have family centrism in their top five values—we assume everyone shares our values, but they don't. Your Authenticity Gap Reveals Your Pain - You could hold the value of scope as number one, but not be able to live it right now because of your job or family situation. That gap between what you value and what you're living—we call that your authenticity gap. If you've got a big one, you know it because it hurts. Gen Z's Top Value Is Self-Care - 75% of Gen Z have self-care, wellbeing, pleasure, and leisure as their top value. Their top three are self-care, authentic self-expression, and helping others. Meanwhile, hiring managers want achievement, scope, and work centrism. The overlap is 2%. Aptitudes Are Your Brain's Dominant Hand - We have nine cognitive aptitudes preset by age 15. Are you a generalist or a specialist? A future focuser or a present focuser? A brainstormer or someone who comes up with one fully baked idea per year? It's painful to be a generalist in a specialist job. Your Personality Is How The World Experiences You - Your personality is not the list of adjectives you write about yourself. It's how the world experiences you. When I did my 360 feedback, people said I was the hurricane, not the calm at the center. I had to learn to communicate better the thoughts I had, and learn to be less chaotic.  Everyone Writes Themselves As The Hero - A police lieutenant once told me: everyone writes the story of their life with themselves at the center as the hero. No matter what story we tell ourselves, we always cast ourselves as the hero. That's why self-awareness is so hard and why we need testing, not just self-reflection. The Aperture Problem: Kids Only Know Five Jobs - When kids come out of high school, they only know about five jobs, two of which are their parents. By college it goes up to seven. By grad school, MBAs are thinking about two or three options—banking, consulting, or tech. There are 135 industries and thousands of types of work nobody tells them about. Great Leaders Don't Do It For The Money - I've been blessed to know many of the greatest leaders. They're doing it for love of people, excitement, work, or impact. I've never met a great leader who was doing it for the money. Jensen Huang and Jeff Bezos are examples—clarity, vision, excellence in everything, no shortcuts. Better To Be The Author Than The Editor - When you're ambitious, you end up surrounded by voices and can become the editor of your life. You have to become the author. Paint a self-portrait of yourself standing still so that when you start running, you know where you're going and why. Reflection Questions What would the 5 people closest to you say about how you show up? Would their description match how you see yourself, or do you have a self-awareness gap you haven't addressed? If you mapped your actual daily behaviors against your stated top values, would they align? Or are you living someone else's version of success while calling it your own? Are you the author of your life or the editor? Whose voices are loudest in your head when making big decisions, and have you given yourself permission to write your own story?
