Together, they bust the biggest myths surrounding anal play, from the damaging idea that learning from porn is effective (spoiler: it's like "learning to drive from watching a car chase movie") to misconceptions about sexual orientation and hygiene. The conversation transforms anal exploration from anxiety-inducing taboo into approachable pleasure education. Charlie breaks down the real anatomy behind prostate stimulation and explains why men who receive anal play often become better lovers, while Hernando addresses cultural barriers and shares how that forbidden factor can actually enhance arousal. They dive into practical preparation techniques, revolutionary lube innovations, and why starting with external play removes performance pressure. Whether dealing with complete curiosity or recovering from painful past experiences, this episode provides the shame-free guidance needed to explore backdoor pleasure safely and successfully.

In this episode, Phil Brown and Lisa Hunt discuss the upcoming workshop offering, 'Navigating Challenging Dialogue,' exploring its framework, importance, and real-life applications. They delve into the reasons why people avoid difficult conversations, the steps involved in preparing for such dialogues, and the benefits of personal scenarios in workshops. The conversation emphasizes the value of communication skills in various contexts, aiming to equip listeners with tools to navigate challenging dialogues effectively. Navigating challenging dialogue is a common human experience. Many avoid difficult conversations due to fear of damaging relationships. Preparation is key to effective communication in challenging dialogues. The process involves identifying the story in your head and relevant facts. Emotions are important but should be managed during difficult conversations. Real-life scenarios enhance the learning experience in workshops. Everyone can benefit from improving their communication skills. The workshop is designed for anyone in a position to give feedback. Challenging conversations can strengthen relationships rather than harm them. Having a clear process reduces anxiety in difficult dialogues.

Cameron-Brooks June 2025 Career Conference Review: Insights for Your Military-to-Business Transition Transitioning from the military to a professional business career is a pivotal moment for any Junior Military Officer (JMO). At Cameron-Brooks, our mission is to help JMOs navigate this career transition with clarity and confidence through a three-step approach: 1) Prepare 2) Search 3) Launch Our June 2025 Post-Conference Review offered a deep dive into the April Career Conference results and shared actionable insights for those preparing for the August 2025 conference, and those in the Cameron-Brooks Development and Preparation Program. I was joined by three recent Cameron-Brooks Alumnus who attended the Conference: Jesse DeVries (Caterpillar), Patrick McMahan (Intuitive Surgical), and Connor McNamara (Optimized Process Designs, LLC - a Koch Engineered Solutions company. Whether you are actively preparing for your transition or simply exploring what's possible, here are the biggest takeaways from our latest Career Conference and alumni panel. June 2025 Conference Recap: A Fast-Paced Career Launchpad The Cameron-Brooks Career Conference is a 4.5 day, high-intensity event, where you'll meet with Hiring Managers for open positions from industry leading companies spanning across multiple industries. At the June Conference, 46 JMOs attended, and 445 interviews were conducted. Every single JMO was "pursued" to the next round of interviews. These open positions are highly complex, designed to be filled by high-performing junior leadership talent in order to get into a company's succession planning. With about two openings per position on average, some opportunities were highly competitive single openings, while others offered broader geographic flexibility and multiple openings. Every JMO had multiple pathways to success. Navigating the Market and Maximizing Interviews Despite a competitive economy - high interest rates and unemployment hovering around 4.2% (Which is relatively normal) - The JMOs interviewed for premium roles in leadership, operations, sales, and engineering. Key lessons from the conference: Be a Giver: Successful candidates focused on solving the company problem first (The open position). When candidates successfully connected their background, built rapport and demonstrated genuine interest in that position, the companies reciprocated with a pursuit for the next round of interviews, and then offers onsite. Preparation Drives Pursuits: The best-prepared JMOs - those who dressed for success, mastered their stories, and tailored their answers - earned the most follow-up interviews. There was a direct correlation between time spent in preparation (Phase 1 -Preparation), and successfully launching (Phase 3 - Launch). Embrace a Broad Search: Flexibility in industry and location opened the door for a broader search (Phase 2 - Search). The average time from conference to signed offer was 13.25 working days, with some candidates accepting in as few as six working days. Preparing Like a Pro: The Cameron-Brooks Process Our alumni panel reinforced the importance of preparation prior to, during, and post-conference. Pre-Conference Development & Preparation Program (DPP): Build your foundation, refine your stories, and understand how your military experience translates. Study Groups: Considered the most valuable tool for refining answers and building confidence. Mock Interviews: Essential to remove military jargon and communicate stories effectively. Reading List: Builds business acumen and helps connect with the interviewers, and recognized industry practices and topics such as: Lean, Six Sigma, Data Analytics, etc. During the Conference Company Briefings: Every JMO received a 30-minute briefing on every company they interviewed with accelerating their knowledge on each company, and what skills were necessary to connect on and be su...
In this episode, Tina Tower takes us behind the scenes of running live events and shares the real, raw truth about what it takes—from the glamorous highlights to the logistical and emotional challenges. Drawing on 13 years of experience and over 40 live events, Tina offers practical tips, cautionary tales, and encouragement for anyone thinking about hosting their own event. Key Topics Covered: 1. Running Live Events is a Lot of Work Events are incredibly rewarding, but definitely not the easiest way to build your profile or business. Preparation is everything—good events take months of planning, and unexpected challenges always pop up. The behind-the-scenes workload is mostly invisible to attendees. 2. Energy Management is Crucial Live events are an “energy exchange” between host, team, and audience. Tina shares how her energy and even her cycle can dramatically affect her, and stresses the importance of optimizing rest, nutrition, and recovery time. It's natural to feel depleted after giving it your all—factor in downtime to recharge. 3. Tech Issues Are Inevitable Something will go wrong: AV, microphones, projectors, music... the list goes on. Plan for problems, have backups, and most importantly, stay calm. The audience will take their cue from you. 4. Create a Memorable Experience People remember how you made them feel rather than what you said. Focus on every touchpoint—from music choices to signage, food, comfort, and connection opportunities. Surprise and delight attendees for a lasting impression and growing expectations. 5. Be Realistic About Finances You can lose or make money on events, so start with a clear goal: profit, marketing, or connection. Budget for ALL expenses (hidden costs add up fast) and be strategic about ticket pricing. 6. You Need a Support Team You can't (and shouldn't) do it all yourself. Trusting and empowered team members are essential—especially someone who can calmly handle curveballs on event day. 7. Nothing Beats In-Person Connection Live events foster game-changing breakthroughs, loyalty, and deep community—the magic is in the room. Events turn followers into friends. 8. Design Events That Reflect You Don't copy others; infuse your event with your personality, values, and ideal style. Make decisions (like event timing!) that support your energy and wellbeing. 9. You'll Always Keep Learning Every event teaches you something new. Experience builds confidence and systems—embrace the growth. If hosting a live event is on your dream list, go for it—planned thoughtfully, it's exhausting but “absolutely freaking magic.” Tina encourages listeners to seek support, leverage resources, and, most importantly, focus on creating an unforgettable experience for your community.

In this Farm4Profit Podcast episode, we shift gears from our usual focus on succession planning to tackle another critical piece of the future: retirement planning. While we often think of retirement in the context of W-2 workers with 401(k)s and pensions, farmers, small business owners, and self-employed professionals face very different challenges.Guest Levi Morrissey of Financial Architects, Inc. joins us to explain why retirement planning isn't optional—and why it looks different for those who don't fit the “traditional” mold. We explore the looming reality that two-thirds of Iowa farmland is owned by people over the age of 65, meaning a tidal wave of transitions is already reshaping small-town economies and family farms.Key takeaways from our conversation include:The psychology of retirement: How financial readiness and personal identity both play roles in deciding when (and how) to step back.Farmers vs. W-2 workers: Why relying on land equity alone may not be enough, and how tax-advantaged accounts like SEP IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and SIMPLE IRAs can provide real security.Phased retirement strategies: Leasing land, crop-share agreements, or custom farming as ways to transition without walking away entirely.Tax benefits for farmers: Including Iowa exemptions on retirement income for those who've materially participated in farming for 10+ years, as well as incentives for cash rent to beginning farmers.The bigger picture: Retirement planning doesn't just protect one family's legacy—it sustains rural communities, preserves farmland, and strengthens the next generation of producers.We wrap up by asking listeners to consider an important question: What does life after the farm—or after the business—look like for you? Retirement doesn't have to mean loss of identity. With intentional planning, it can be the foundation for personal freedom, family security, and thriving rural communities. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

DOWNLOAD SLIDES DOWNLOAD AFFIRMATION OF GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH Pastor Bryan Hudson's message "The Spirit of Faith, Part Two: The Good Fight of Faith" emphasizes that faith in God is not only for crises but a consistent lifestyle of belief and action rooted in God's Word. Faith in God is an active, results-producing conviction that connects us to God's promises and must be developed like a muscle through discipline, consistency, and endurance. A “good fight” of faith is assured victory because God fights our battles, while a “bad fight” comes from unpreparedness and inconsistency. Believers must look to Jesus, lay aside distractions and sins, exercise patience, and run with endurance to avoid spiritual fainting. Regardless of the situations we face, a lifestyle of faith, and "fighting the good fight of faith" enables us to remain undefeated and triumphant because God's treasure lives within us. Summary of Message (Generated by OpenAI: The Spirit of Faith, Part Two: The Good Fight of Faith 1. Foundation of the Message Key Texts: 2 Corinthians 4:13 – And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak 1 Timothy 6:11–12, But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” Review from Part One: Faith is more than a tool for crises—it is a lifestyle. God has placed His treasure in “earthen vessels,” showing both His confidence in us and our responsibility to live faithfully. 2. What is the Spirit of Faith? A disposition or attitude aligned with the Word of God. The human spirit infused by the Holy Spirit producing bold, enduring faith. Not only belief, but a lifestyle that reflects faith in thought, conduct, and endurance. 3. Faith Defined Faith in God is an active, results-producing belief, that involves applying God's Word, taking action based on His promises. Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Weymouth's translation: “Now faith is a well grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.Analogy: Faith as a key fob—even when the car is not seen, possession of the fob guarantees its reality. The Amplified Bible, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality - faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.” 4. The Good Fight of Faith A good fight: one where the outcome is already assured because God fights for us. A bad fight: when unprepared, careless, or inconsistent (e.g., cramming for a test, showing talent without discipline). Consistency—not just talent—earns trust. Faith is inseparable from faithfulness. 5. Lifestyle of Faith Faith must be developed like a muscle—strengthened through use, testing, and endurance. A lifestyle of faith is evidenced through: Consistent good works. Excellence in daily living. Spiritual disciplines (prayer, Bible reading, fasting, agreement in community). Without faith as a lifestyle, believers risk “fainting”—losing heart due to lack of spiritual nutrition. 6. How to Fight the Good Fight Look to Jesus – the Author and Finisher of faith (Hebrews 12:1–2). Lay aside weights and sins – not only obvious sins but unnecessary burdens. Run with endurance – not just soaring or sprinting, but faithfully walking without fainting. Exercise patience – faith and patience work together; they are “power twins.” Avoid weariness – consider the perseverance of Jesus, family, and others who endured. 7. Dangers of Fainting Physical fainting comes from lack of oxygen/nutrition. Spiritual fainting comes from lack of connection to Christ, lack of Word intake, and lack of consistency. Remedy: Re-focus on Jesus, nourish faith through obedience, and draw strength from faithful examples. 8. Marks of a Good Fight 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 – We may be hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, but never crushed, in despair, forsaken, or destroyed. 1 John 4:4 – Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. The difference lies between external pressures and internal strength through Christ. 9. Affirmation of Faith (Confession) DOWNLOAD The sermon concluded with a powerful declaration: I have the spirit of faith and a lifestyle that supports it. I fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. My faith grows daily through God's grace in both good and bad times. I endure with patience, will not faint, and triumph in Christ. 10. Core Takeaways Faith is not situational but a lifestyle of faithfulness. A “good fight” is already won because Christ secures the victory. Preparation, discipline, and patience make faith durable. Believers must avoid fainting by staying spiritually nourished and focused on Jesus. The spirit of faith ensures we triumph—even under pressure—because God's treasure lives within us.
Discover the profound power and purpose of preparation in this message by Ps. Michael Morris. He delves into how the significant shifts and fulfillments we witness within our spiritual family and our lives are not accidental, but rather the culmination of God's ongoing work of preparation.

"Welcome, friends and fearless performers, to another episode of Casting Actors Cast, the show that pulls back the curtain on the craft, the mindset, and the career path of working actors. I'm Jeffrey Dreisbach — casting director, teacher, and your personal acting GPS. Today's episode is all about Film Script Preparation — a subject that sounds deceptively simple but can make or break your audition, your performance, and yes, even your callback.

A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach
Too many creators and entrepreneurs land a major platform—a conference stage, a podcast appearance, a viral moment—only to waste it because they're not ready. No website. No social media presence. No mailing list. Just “email me if you're interested.” In this episode, I break down the three pillars that make the difference between momentum gained and momentum lost: Anticipation, Preparation, and Execution. Learn how to think ahead, build the right assets, and deliver in a way that converts attention into lasting impact.

Unfortunately, sense isn't as common as you might think. This week we'll discuss how Jesus is coming quicker than you think, and not in the way you might think; the extremes to which people will go in pursuit of what they really want; the voices in my head and how they don't help me as much as I like to think; and yet another game in which I know precisely what to do and cannot do it for the life of me.Check out Hal on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@halhammons9705Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

What do a McDonald's, a rusted van, and an Appalachian Trail record have in common? Warren Doyle. On this episode of the Free Outside Podcast I am joined by the legend Warren Doyle — educator, endurance icon, and Appalachian Trail philosopher — for an unfiltered, no-bobblehead conversation about FKTs, culture clashes, and the soul of long-distance hiking.Warren recounts his 1973 AT speed record (before we even called them FKTs), discusses the evolution of trail culture, and shares stories of creeks, canteens, creek showers, and a boot gone rogue. We explore the role of endurance vs. speed, why “tempo” matters more than terrain, and what today's hikers can learn from the past — if they're willing to listen.Consider supporting my fundraising efforts for the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATPlus: reflections on Liz “Mercury” Durstine, Tara Dower, Scott Jurek, and the future of the ATC.

What do launching into orbit and starting a grueling mountain ultra have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, we draw from Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way and NASA's astronaut training to explore how familiarity—not bravado—builds confidence on the trail. Just as astronauts rehearsed every scenario to make the unknown feel routine, trail runners can train for the unexpected: long stretches without aid, bad weather, gear failures, or the mental fog of mile 90. We discuss how to simulate race conditions, build mental protocols for problem-solving, and control the factors within your grasp. By exposing yourself to stress in training—whether it's night running, solo efforts, or challenging terrain—you build emotional muscle to stay calm when it matters most. The obstacle isn't the mountain ahead—it's the panic in your chest, and with the right preparation, you can take its power away.
