The girls are running on fumes and looking feral — Becca's grieving her face tan, Keltie is breaking out just in time for Oscars weekend, and Jac is serving long-hair-don't-care energy. Becca gives a full colonoscopy recap nobody asked for but everyone needs, including internal hemorrhoid photos and the luxury spa treatment version of butt medicine, while Keltie spirals over Mark Ballas's Broadway wig prep and Jac debuts a new Irish celebrity obsession. But the main event? Keltie reveals the absolutely unhinged story of how her identity was stolen in the most elaborate scam imaginable — fake podcast invites, a Zoom with “tech support,” stolen passwords, hacked accounts, and thousands of dollars gone. Plus: Ford asks Becca if she's going to die soon, Lisa Rinna's book is a masterpiece of zero self-editing, and the gang would like one final word with “Jeff.”We have deals for YOU!!Hers: Feel like your best self again, Visit ForHers.com/ladygang for a personalized, affordable plan that gets you.Nutrafol: Got thinning hair?

*In this episode, you'll discover a three-step framework for exposing the unconscious patterns quietly running your life and learn exactly how to flip each one.* ## Episode Summary In this episode, I introduce a very helpful life transformation framework called “Identity Inversion.” It's a simple exercise I designed (based on my own self-experimentation!) for identifying unconscious patterns, habits, and identity traps that are keeping you from becoming the best version of your broken self. Using two relatable examples (a man addicted to the gym for self-worth and a woman addicted to productivity for approval), I’ll walk you through a three-step process: describe the pattern in a paragraph, name its redemptive opposite in a sentence, then distill it into a single word that becomes the key to redrawing your identity. Next week, so you can get a really concrete idea of what this looks like, I’ll share my own 10 identity inversions. ## Question of the Day

“You don't know what grace is, until you are in need of it.” Devon Franklin Lights, Camera, Faith- we get a behind the scenes look into the story of Devon Franklin, producer, bestselling author, husband, preacher, and purpose-driven leader for one of the most reflective conversations we've had on The Pivot Podcast. His story is proof that success isn't just about achievement—it's about alignment, growth, and the courage to start over when life changes direction. From Hollywood success to personal setbacks and rediscovering joy, Devon brings powerful lessons on resilience, purpose, and trusting the process. It's a raw, inspiring discussion about letting go, betting on yourself, and having the courage to pivot into the next chapter of your life. He speaks about his gratitude for Will Smith's role in his life as well as being confident enough to take the risk of leaving a "safe" powerhouse film company to pursue his own passion of filmmaking driven by passion and purpose over position. From developing major studio hits to producing faith-inspired films for mainstream audiences, Devon's career is on the rise with no signs of slowing down. Personally, Devon talks openly about the grief, self-reflection, and healing that followed his very public divorce from Meagan Good—sharing how the experience forced him to redefine love, identity, and expectations. He opens up about heartbreak, healing, and what it really takes to move forward when the life you planned suddenly changes. But this conversation isn't just about loss—it's about taking chances again. Devon shares how he found the courage to believe in love again, why faith and vulnerability are essential to growth, how embracing uncertainty can lead you exactly where you're meant to be and to always trust that life can still unfold in beautiful ways after disappointment.

How do you secure a modern business when identities no longer belong only to employees, but also to partners, machines, applications, and increasingly AI agents? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Paul Zolfaghari, President of Saviynt, to unpack why identity security has moved from a background IT function to one of the defining challenges facing modern enterprises. Over the past decade, the identity problem has expanded far beyond the traditional office worker logging into internal systems. Today's organizations must manage access across a vast digital ecosystem that includes contractors, suppliers, customers, APIs, machines, and now autonomous AI agents. Paul explains how this shift has fundamentally changed the way security leaders think about identity governance. The challenge is no longer limited to preventing unauthorized access from outside attackers. Instead, companies must manage the complex question of who, or what, should have access to specific data, systems, and processes at any given moment. When thousands of employees, partners, and automated systems interact across multiple cloud platforms, the complexity grows rapidly. We also explore how the rise of non-human identities is reshaping the security landscape. Machines, software services, and AI agents now operate alongside human employees inside enterprise environments. In many cases, these digital identities are already beginning to outnumber people. As AI agents gain the ability to gather information, adapt to context, and take actions autonomously, organizations must rethink how access permissions are granted, monitored, and governed. Another theme that emerged during our conversation is the idea that identity security is not only about protection. While it clearly sits within the cybersecurity domain, Paul argues that identity governance also acts as a business enabler. When the right people and systems can access the right information at the right time, organizations operate more efficiently and collaborate more effectively across complex supply chains and partner ecosystems. We also discussed findings from Saviynt's CISO AI Risk Report, which highlights a growing concern among security leaders. AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, often moving faster than the governance frameworks designed to manage it. This creates a challenge for organizations trying to adopt AI responsibly while maintaining visibility and control over how these technologies interact with enterprise systems. With more than 600 enterprise customers and a recent $700 million growth investment backing its expansion, Saviynt is operating in a market that many investors now view as one of the defining layers of modern digital infrastructure. Identity, in many ways, is becoming the control plane for how businesses operate in an AI driven world. Looking ahead, Paul believes organizations must begin preparing for a future where digital identities dramatically outnumber human employees. That shift will require new approaches to governance, visibility, and control. So as AI adoption accelerates and businesses continue expanding across cloud platforms and digital ecosystems, one question becomes impossible to ignore. Is identity security ready to serve as the foundation for how organizations operate in the next decade?

Welcome to episode #1027 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Will Storr is an award-winning author, journalist and storytelling researcher whose work explores one of the most powerful forces shaping human behavior… the stories we tell ourselves about the world. Over the course of a career that blends psychology, neuroscience, investigative journalism and narrative craft, Will has become one of the most compelling voices examining how stories shape identity, belief and culture. His bestselling books include The Science of Storytelling, Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed And What It's Doing To Us, and The Status Game, each offering a deeper look at the hidden forces driving human motivation and social behavior. In his latest book, A Story Is A Deal - How To Use The Science Of Story To Motivate And Persuade, Will explores how storytelling operates as a powerful psychological transaction… a kind of deal between storyteller and audience that shapes what we believe, who we trust and how we act. Drawing on research from neuroscience and psychology alongside examples that range from ancient rituals to modern brand campaigns, Will shows how narratives influence everything from the leaders we follow to the products we buy. In this conversation, Will explores why people so often believe stories before they believe facts, how identity and status shape the narratives we embrace, and why character-driven storytelling remains the most powerful way to influence human behavior. At the same time, he wrestles with the darker side of narrative… the way stories can fuel misinformation, reinforce tribal identities and manipulate audiences when used without care. As artificial intelligence begins to play a role in creating and distributing stories, the conversation also turns to questions of authenticity, creativity and the future of narrative itself. I'm a huge fan of Will's work and it was truly a honor to host him. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 54:58. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Listen and subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.

Scholars keep predicting nationalism will fade, and it keeps surprising us. Slavica Jakelic argues we're asking the wrong questions. Drawing on her experience in Croatia during the Yugoslav wars and her research on religious-secular alliances in Poland and South Africa, she makes the case for 'ethical nationalism,' a form of belonging that serves pluralism rather than undermining it. We discuss why particular attachments matter, how religious and secular actors can work together, and what it might mean to reclaim symbols like the American flag for more expansive visions of national identity.Show Notes:Collectivistic Religions: Religion, Choice, and Identity in Late Modernity (https://www.routledge.com/Collectivistic-Religions-Religion-Choice-and-Identity-in-Late-Modernity/Jakelic/p/book/9781138260399)Pluralizing Humanism: Religions and Secularisms Beyond Power (https://www.routledge.com/Pluralizing-Humanism-Religions-and-Secularisms-Beyond-Power/Jakelic/p/book/9781032151083)Send a text

Send a textAgentic AI stops being “just software” the moment it can take actions across your systems and that's where leadership, cybersecurity, and trust collide. We sit down with Mark Lynd, a globally recognized cybersecurity and AI thought leader and former CIO, CTO, and CISO, to get specific about what enterprise teams misunderstand when they talk about autonomous AI agents. The promise is speed and cost savings; the reality is permissions, accountability, and a threat landscape that changes when agents have identities and privileges.We dig into why “identity is the new perimeter” in an AI-driven world and how attackers target the keys to the kingdom: access, escalated privileges, and the ability to work around security controls. Mark shares how common IAM problems like permission sprawl and forgotten access can become even more dangerous with agents, especially as organizations scale from a few pilots to hundreds or thousands of AI agents. We also talk governance frameworks like NIST and ISO, why frameworks alone don't equal evaluation criteria, and how boards push for innovation while regulators demand control.If you're a CIO, CISO, security leader, or board advisor trying to adopt agentic AI responsibly, this conversation offers a grounded approach: start with small, auditable use cases, keep a real human-in-the-loop model, align every agent to business goals, and build trust through repeatable wins.

What happens when you're diagnosed with ADHD at 56—after a lifetime of dyslexia, chaos, big wins, big losses, and school trauma that taught you you'd never be "enough"? In this episode of Adulting With Autism, we talk with John O'Shea, author of NeuroSpicy, about late diagnosis, anger and shame, the nervous system cost of being punished for learning differently, and how ADHD isn't a deficit of attention—it can be an overload of thoughts "like a V8 with no brakes." John shares how the end of his 32-year marriage pushed him into rock bottom—and why writing became a lifeline. He also explains why ADHD and dyslexia can be both a superpower and kryptonite, and what it takes to build resilience without staying trapped in failure as a "comfort blanket." In this episode, we cover: What it feels like to get an ADHD diagnosis later in life (and why it mattered more to others than to John) School trauma, humiliation, and why criticism can trigger rage in ADHD/dyslexic adults Anger as armor: shame, rejection sensitivity, and emotional overflow The "fast brain" experience: overload vs "attention deficit" Why ADHD people can be scattered and intensely focused (hyperfocus) The Hawaii customs story: literacy shame, humiliation, and consequences Reframing neurodivergence: "we don't need fixing—we need understanding and tools" What the education system should change (and John's plan for an ADHD/dyslexia empowerment course) Imposter syndrome and "fake it till you make it" as a practical survival tool Tools John uses to regulate: meditation, gym, sauna, grounding, and presence practices Where to find the book and John's work Connect with John O'Shea: Website / book: https://neurospicy.life Discount code: ABC25

Motherhood, marriage, ministry—each of these roles is a beautiful gift from God. But even good gifts can quietly drift into first place in our hearts. Somewhere along the way, we can begin to measure our worth by how well we love, lead, serve, and sacrifice—rather than by the unchanging truth that we are already chosen and beloved daughters of the King.    Before we were anyone's wife, mother, mentor, or friend—we were His. Redeemed. Named. Known. And that identity does not shift with the seasons of life.    In today's culture, women are told to do more and be more. Even within Christian circles, it can sometimes feel as though a woman's value is tied to the strength of her marriage, the success of her children, or her ability to "do it all" with grace. But the Gospel paints a different picture. Scripture calls us to undivided devotion—to love God above husband, family, possessions, and even self—and to let every other role flow from that primary relationship.    In this powerful weekend conversation, Patti Garibay welcomes bestselling author, Bible teacher, and speaker Vicki Courtney to the Raising Godly Girls Podcast. Together, they tackle a challenging but freeing question: Is motherhood my highest calling?    Vicki shares the "fire in her belly" that fuels her ministry to girls and women, helping them anchor their identity not in roles but in relationship with Christ. Patti and Vicki discuss how easily motherhood can become an idol in Christian culture, how rooting our worth in our children can unintentionally shape our daughters' own identity struggles, and what it looks like to love our families deeply without finding our ultimate meaning in them.    This episode will gently challenge and encourage you to examine your heart, realign your devotion, and rediscover the peace that comes from belonging to God first. Because when we love Him most, we truly love others best.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Luke 14:26–27  Matthew 22:37  Exodus 20:3  Galatians 2:20  1 John 4:19    To learn more about Vicki Courtney, visit vickicourtney.com   Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.      Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

You create opportunities.And if you want to compete with the other woman? You don't stalk her. You don't rage at him. You outshine her by becoming the woman he'd be crazy to live without.This isn't about being desperate.It's about taking your power back and playing the long game—smart, calm, strategic.

Episode Title: When Strategy Isn't the Problem — Identity Is Episode Description Many people who want to change their relationship with alcohol believe they simply need a better strategy — more discipline, better rules, or a stronger moderation plan. But what if the real issue isn't strategy at all? In this episode, Lynette explores a deeper truth: lasting change rarely comes from trying to control alcohol — it comes from expanding beyond the identity that believes alcohol is necessary. Drawing on insights from neuropsychologist Dr. Julia DiGangi and years of coaching experience, Lynette explains why so many attempts at moderation fail and why identity transformation is the real turning point in recovery. If you've ever told yourself, “I should be able to moderate,” this episode may help you see the pattern in a completely new way. In This Episode Lynette explores: Why many people struggle with alcohol even when they genuinely want to change The hidden difference between strategy change and identity change The “capability fantasy” that keeps people stuck in the moderation cycle How personality and identity influence our relationship with alcohol Why arguing with reality creates suffering The concept of “expanding beyond personality” from Dr. Julia DiGangi's work The powerful shift from trying to control alcohol to becoming the person who no longer needs it Key Insight From This Episode One of the most powerful shifts in recovery happens when we stop asking: “How do I control my drinking?” And start asking: “Who am I becoming?” Sobriety is not simply about removing alcohol. It's about expanding beyond the identity that once believed alcohol was necessary. A Quote From This Episode "The goal isn't just to stop drinking. The goal is to become the person who no longer needs to". Want Support Exploring Sobriety?

Financial peace can feel confusing when you're used to pressure and constant scanning. This episode explores why exhaustion around money isn't a discipline problem, but an identity-level misalignment—and what peace actually feels like in your body and leadership.What does financial peace actually feel like?Not a number in an account.Not a milestone reached.Not finally “having enough.”Financial peace is an internal shift.Many high performers live with subtle financial pressure—even when their income is stable and their strategy is sound. There is still scanning. Forecasting. A low-grade vigilance that never fully turns off. And over time, that pressure feels normal.This episode moves from theory into embodiment.Because burnout around money is rarely about math. It is about identity misalignment. When financial stability becomes fused with authority, belonging, and self-worth, peace feels risky. Softening can feel unsafe. Calm can feel wrong.We explore:• The difference between financial control and financial peace• Nervous system regulation around money• Identity load and authority• The grief of releasing “the strongest one” identity• Why calm can initially feel like withdrawal• How peace frees mental bandwidth and emotional energy• Leadership without financial dominance• Money as tool, not identityFinancial peace is not having enough.It is no longer needing money to regulate your identity.When that shift happens:• Conversations lose their edge• Planning becomes thoughtful instead of urgent• Risk feels strategic instead of personal• Joy and delight return as reclaimed capacityPeace does not dull your ambition.It removes the bracing that was draining you.This is Renewed Momentum. Not adrenaline. Not urgency. Clean forward movement rooted in internal security.Today's Micro Recalibration:Picture a financial conversation you've been avoiding. Imagine entering it without needing to prove anything. Notice your body. Where do you soften?Ask gently: If money is just a tool, who am I without it regulating me?If you lead others, notice this: when you talk about money, does the room feel safe—or activated? What would 5 percent more calm look like this week?Financial peace begins in your body. And when it does, everything else follows.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Build the mindset that creates wealth. In today's episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros examine a powerful shift most people never make when it comes to money, identity, and long-term success. Many people focus on earning more, but far fewer examine the thinking patterns that shape how money is used, invested, or wasted.This conversation looks at the difference between short-term emotional decisions and strategic choices that build a stronger future. It also highlights why belief, identity, and personal responsibility influence financial outcomes far more than most people realize. If you want to understand why some people consistently build wealth while others repeat the same financial patterns, this episode challenges the mindset behind every decision involving money._______________________Learn more about:Where learning turns into action.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into what truly drives transformation for business coaches. They explore the power of community, mindset versus identity shifts, the role of shame in personal evolution, and practical financial concepts every coach must master. With honest stories and actionable frameworks, this episode is a masterclass in leveling up both your coaching business and your personal leadership. Key Topics Covered Finding Your Community & Belonging Karl Bryan reflects on the importance of having a group—a "place to belong"—for business coaches, inspired by a quote from Robert Redford. The monthly happy hour at focus.com creates a safe space where coaches share, connect, and let their guard down, reinforcing the value of community in an otherwise solitary profession. Mindset vs. Identity: Deep Change Explained The difference between improving your mindset and fundamentally redefining your identity. Karl emphasizes that lasting change requires "murdering" your old identity, not just positive thinking. He shares vivid metaphors and personal stories, including tools like the Hoffman Process for confronting limiting beliefs. The Role of Shame in Transformation Karl explains that real breakthroughs begin when you get comfortable with shame. Rather than simply upgrade, you must destroy the old identity that keeps you stuck. Shame becomes a tool for sparking discomfort and motivating action. Fear and Ambition Both hosts get vulnerable about their greatest fears; snakes, stagnation, and not being enough. Karl frames anxiety as the price of ambition, sharing his own life challenges and how busy routines can mask inner turmoil. Financial Concepts Coaches Must Know Karl addresses why revenue is recognized before cash is received, demystifying accrual accounting and the crucial difference between theoretical profit and factual cash. He explains how accounts receivable, organized financials, and cash flow statements are vital for making informed decisions and fixing client money struggles. Practical Steps to Step Into Your New Identity Word association around "identity" leads to a rapid-fire discussion: how to question your beliefs, lose decision fatigue, and use discipline to make progress. Coaches must shame their old, ineffective selves and step into the version that relentlessly serves clients, reaches out daily, and drives real results. Notable Quotes "As a business coach, if you crack it, you are semi-retired for the rest of your life … 20 clients at $2,000 a month, that's $480,000 with 80% margins. You're the top 5% all day long." "You can question anything except something people have built their identity around. When you do, the conversation goes from the topic to their beliefs." "Your mind is designed to keep you safe, not to help you grow, succeed, or become a millionaire." "To upgrade your identity, you have to murder the old coach. Improvement isn't enough." "Anxiety is the price of ambition." "The most powerful man in the room is the one who has nothing to hide." Actionable Takeaways 1. Network and Belong: Join or create communities of like-minded coaches. Attend events, participate in group calls, and seek genuine connection. 2. Question and Redefine Your Identity: Go beyond mindset shifts, identify where you're stuck, shame the ineffective 'old you,' and step into a relentlessly proactive new version. Improvement is incremental; transformation is revolutionary. 3. Face Your Fears and Tell the Truth: Write down your greatest fear in business coaching. Confront it honestly; use it to propel action instead of avoidance. 4. Master Financial Fundamentals: Understand how revenue and cash flow work. Review client accounts receivable, make a list, track aging, and tackle late payments personally. 5. Act, Don't Hide: Stop busy-work. Reach out to 25 prospects a day, host events, send messages, take bold action to serve and attract clients. 6. Serve Before You Sell: Offer value upfront, solve problems for free, and build trust before pitching your services. 7. Use Silence & Meditation: Give yourself space to reflect and reset—whether through meditation, journaling, or solitude.

Hear from global storyteller Christopher O'Shaughnessy about the power of storytelling to build connection, shape identity, and help people navigate life across cultures. From the role of humor in bringing people together to the deeper work of putting words to our internal experiences, Chris shares practical insights into how stories create bridges between people.  Learn more about Chris O'Shaughnessy "Whether you're intentionally saying it or whether people are unintentionally hearing it, there's always some story in context." "The more of your story you can refine, the more you're opening up points of connection, the more you're allowing the possibility of conduits to grow between you and the people hearing your story." "Just because you do it this way does not mean everybody does it this way." "Using humor well, using humor as long as it's meant to be inclusive, as long as it's the kind of humor that can bring other people alone, it's really useful." "Storytelling is actually being able to read the mood of the responses and dynamically respond." "That's essentially what storytelling is: It's learning to put words so that we can create an external version of what's happening internally." "Half the pain of loneliness is feeling disconnected, but I would wager probably half of it is also the fear that this is just how it will always be."

In this episode, I sit down with Brianna Wu for a wide-ranging and candid conversation on antisemitism, Israel, progressivism, trans politics, Gamergate, the Democratic Party, and the collapse of the political center in America.Brianna has become one of the most outspoken and unexpected public voices defending Israel and the Jewish community in the wake of October 7, especially within spaces where that has come at real personal and professional cost. We discuss what drew her into this fight, why so many Jews feel politically homeless right now, and why allyship has felt so rare in progressive circles.We also explore Brianna's political evolution from Democratic strategist and progressive activist to one of the sharpest critics of the excesses of modern progressivism. From Gamergate to campus culture, from anti-Zionism to the future of liberal democracy, this conversation asks what happens when both the left and the right abandon moral clarity.We also spend significant time on the national debate over transgender politics, including medical safeguarding, gender ideology, social contagion, civil liberties, and the danger of forcing every difficult issue into an all-or-nothing political framework. Whether you agree with every point or not, this is a serious and honest conversation about some of the hardest questions in American public life.We discuss:Brianna Wu on Israel and October 7Why antisemitism has exploded on the leftJewish politics after October 7Why many Jews are losing trust in the Democratic PartyTrump, Republicans, and Jewish supportGamergate and the transformation of online political cultureThe trans debate in AmericaProgressivism, victimhood, and political extremismWhy America needs a real political centerWhat solidarity should actually look likeThis was one of the most fascinating conversations I've had in a long time.#briannawu #israel #zion #transrights #trump #transhealthcare #transgender #transgirl

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   What if the biggest struggle facing Christian men today is the one nobody talks about?   The Truth Most Men Never Hear   Porn addiction isn't just a moral issue. It's an intimacy disorder.   Many men turn to pornography not because they want sex—but because they are trying to escape stress, loneliness, pressure, or emotional pain.   Real freedom comes when a man learns to process those emotions, build brotherhood, and reconnect with God.   Freedom Is Possible   Coach Frank Rich spent 20 years trapped in pornography addiction.   Today, he has walked in freedom for more than seven years and has helped thousands of men break the same cycle.   His mission is simple: To help men rebuild their identity, reclaim their integrity, and become the leaders God created them to be.According to recent research from the Barna Group, 75% of Christian men regularly consume pornography. Even more concerning—64% of those men say they are comfortable with it.   That means the majority of men sitting in church every Sunday are quietly fighting a battle they feel powerless to win.   But what if freedom is actually possible?   In this powerful message delivered at a men's church event, Coach Frank Rich shares his personal story of spending 20 years addicted to pornography before finally breaking free. Today, Frank has walked in freedom for over 7 years and has helped thousands of men rebuild their lives and break the cycle of porn addiction.   In this episode, Frank reveals the five principles that have helped thousands of men break free from pornography and reclaim their identity as leaders, husbands, fathers, and men of faith.   This message is raw, honest, and deeply convicting—and it's a reminder that no man is beyond redemption.   What You'll Learn In This Episode • The shocking statistics about porn use among Christian men • Why porn addiction is destroying relationships, marriages, and leadership • The neuroscience behind how pornography rewires the brain • The real reasons men turn to porn (hint: it's usually not sex) • Why shame and secrecy keep men stuck in the cycle • The difference between behavior modification and identity transformation • How to rebuild self-respect and personal integrity • Why gratitude is one of the most powerful tools for rewiring the brain • How brotherhood and honest conversations unlock freedom     The 5 Principles That Help Men Break Free In this message, Frank breaks down five powerful principles that have helped thousands of men reclaim control over their lives.   1. Tell The Truth Freedom begins with honesty. As long as a man hides his struggle in secrecy, that struggle holds power over him. The moment a man begins speaking the truth about what he's facing, the grip of addiction begins to weaken.   2. Learn To Say No Self-control is a muscle. Learning to say "no" to smaller temptations—like food, social media, or comfort—strengthens the discipline needed to resist bigger temptations like pornography.   3. Focus On Identity, Not Just Behavior Trying to quit porn by force rarely works. Real change happens when a man stops trying to modify behavior and starts transforming his identity—becoming the type of man who simply doesn't live that way anymore.   4. Build Your Self-Reputation Your mind is constantly tracking whether you keep your word. When a man repeatedly breaks promises to himself, he loses trust in his own discipline. But when he begins doing what he says he will do, his confidence and integrity grow.   5. Live From A Place Of Gratitude Pornography is often an escape from stress, loneliness, or dissatisfaction. But when a man begins practicing daily gratitude, he rewires his brain to appreciate the life he already has—and stops feeling the need to escape from it.     Ready To Break The Cycle? If you're ready to take the first step toward rebuilding your life and breaking free from porn addiction, join our Free 7-Day Porn Reset.   This challenge will help you: • Break the addiction cycle • Rewire your habits • Build real discipline and structure • Begin stepping into the identity of The Rebuilt Man  

This week on Primetime Gamechangers, we unpack the truth about spiritual independence and why every believer must develop their own relationship with God. Too many Christians have become dependent on pastors, prophets, or spiritual leaders to hear from God for them, instead of pursuing the voice of the Holy Spirit in their own prayer closets. This conversation challenges the religious mindset that treats faith like a system of mechanics and calls believers back to the heart of relationship with Jesus. Through biblical examples like David, Saul, and Daniel, we explore the difference between relying on someone else's connection with God and cultivating your own spiritual authority through prayer, study, and obedience. If you've ever wondered why you struggle to hear God's voice or feel stuck waiting for someone else to give you a word, this episode will encourage you to strengthen your spiritual walk, pursue God personally, and learn to seek the source of truth for yourself.

In this episode, we're joined by bassist, composer, and bandleader Marlonius aka, Marlon Martinez, the creative force behind the Marlonius Jazz Orchestra. We talk about growing up in a deeply musical family, moving through a serious classical conservatory track at Colburn, and the long arc of building a personal sound. We dig into Marlon's early encounters with Stanley Clarke, what it means to live in the "in-between" of jazz and classical worlds, and how rhythm (including Marlon's time on drum set) shapes everything from groove to orchestration. We also get into Billy Strayhorn's legacy, why Marlon is so drawn to Strayhorn's voice, and what's coming next for Marlon's first full-length Marlonius Jazz Orchestra studio album.

Today, guest host Selena Simmons-Duffin is exploring a detail very personal to her: How the number of older brothers a person has can influence their sexuality.Scientific research on sexuality has a dark history, with long-lasting harmful effects on queer communities. Much of the early research has also been debunked over time. But not this "fraternal birth order effect." The fact that a person's likelihood of being gay increases with each older brother has been found all over the world – from Turkey to North America, Brazil, the Netherlands and beyond. Today, Selena gets into all the details: What this effect is, how it's been studied and what it can (and can't) explain about sexuality.Interested in the science of our closest relatives?
