Transformative Truth: God's Word tells us we can KNOW God's will so that we can LIVE God's will The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.  -Deuteronomy 29:29 We believe the counsel of God given to us by the Spirit of God in the Word of God is the means by which the people of God KNOW the will of God For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding... -Proverbs 2:6 He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. -John 8:23 Live in God's will by BEARING fruit in every good work Live in God's will by INCREASING in the Knowledge of God See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ -Colossians 2:8   … continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard… -Colossians 1:23 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. -Colossians 3:12 Giving thanks joyfully to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, -Colossians 1:21-22  

As a former C-suite executive, Dr. Kasi Lacey know what it's like to be the only woman at the table. She has built departments, led strategic plans, secured millions in grants, and managed crisis after crisis—all while battling imposter syndrome behind closed doors. She felt the pressure to prove herself. To be polished. To not take up too much space. Today, she speaks and coaches so that other women don't have to carry that same pressure alone. Her keynote talks, workshops, and coaching programs are designed to help high-achieving students lead with clarity, confidence, and courage. She combines the science of psychology with real-world leadership experience to spark meaningful change—whether in a conference ballroom, a corporate boardroom, or a Zoom call with students who are ready for more. She has spoken to executives, educators, healthcare leaders, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, HR teams, students, and women in male-dominated fields—sharing tools to overcome burnout, build emotional intelligence, quiet the inner critic, and rise into roles they deserve. In episode 641 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Dr. Lacey chose Austin College for her undergraduate experience, how starting off life in survival mode helped to shape her view of confidence, what her experiences in higher education leadership taught her about confidence, power, and silence that psychology alone couldn't, what is the biggest misconception leaders have about confidence, what are some signs advisors or chapter leaders should watch for that signal confidence issues, how can Fraternity or Sorority leaders increase psychological safety in their organization, how student leaders can set boundaries without feeling like they're letting their chapter down, why leaders tend to isolate themselves as responsibility increases, what role fraternities and sororities play in either reinforcing—or closing—the confidence gap for students, and what mindset shift has to happen first for real culture change to stick.

Personal impact isn't just a quality for Insight leaders to focus on; it's something we should all consider if we want to thrive and survive in a fast-moving, rapidly changing corporate environment. And it's a critical thing for us to consider when the world of Insight as we have got used to thinking about it is unlikely to last long in its present form. Wherever you are on the AI-adoption curve, many of the skills and attributes that have given us opportunities and promotions in the past will mean less in the future. It will be all about the extent to which we can help our organisations make sense of data, apply learnings to business problems, build scenarios about future markets, and influence decision-makers to adopt the evidence-based opinions we have formed that will determine our success. And we can't do any of these unless we have developed a personal brand that helps us get invited into the room, and once in it, demonstrate sufficient personal presence that we are invited backSo how can we increase our personal impact? Please listen to find out more! Topics DiscussedThe solutions suggested so far for those who want to shape the future of Insight (3.04)The need to increase our personal impact (6.26)Being invited to the table and then earning our right to stay (8.50)But we're not natural self-publicists!

Night eating can feel confusing, distressing, and isolating for people living with anorexia, especially when restriction shapes daytime eating. Many adults limit food during the day and then experience intense hunger, urgency to eat, or automatic eating at night. This pattern often creates shame and the belief that recovery is failing. In this episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explains why anorexia and night eating syndrome frequently overlap and how daytime restriction drives nighttime eating through biological survival responses and nervous system stress. She reframes night eating as adaptation rather than loss of control and challenges treatment messages that rely on shame or rigid control. This conversation centers trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder recovery and introduces non-punitive tools that support regulation, safety, and sustainable change. Why Anorexia and Night Eating Syndrome Often Occur Together Many clinical frameworks treat anorexia and night eating syndrome as separate or opposing diagnoses. In practice, restriction, energy deficit, and nervous system activation during the day often lead the body to seek nourishment at night when threat levels feel lower. Night eating in anorexia does not reflect a failure of discipline. It reflects a biological and neurological survival response to deprivation, chronic stress, and unmet energy needs. Understanding this connection reduces shame and opens the door to more effective, compassionate eating disorder treatment. How Daytime Restriction Fuels Nighttime Eating Restriction includes more than eating small amounts of food. It can involve delaying meals, limiting food variety, suppressing hunger signals, or following rigid food rules that keep the body in a constant state of vigilance. When restriction continues across the day, the body tracks energy debt, stress hormones rise, and hunger intensifies. Nighttime may become the first moment when eating feels possible or safe. This cycle explains why night eating in anorexia can persist even when someone feels committed to recovery. Why Shame and Control Do Not Resolve Night Eating Common advice such as eating more during the day often overlooks nervous system safety, trauma history, and neurodivergent sensory needs. Increasing pressure or tightening rules usually strengthens the restriction and night eating cycle rather than resolving it. Reducing shame and supporting regulation creates conditions where change can occur without punishment or fear. Supportive Approaches That Address Root Causes Recovery-supportive care focuses on safety, predictability, and nervous system regulation rather than control. Daytime nourishment becomes more sustainable when eating feels safe enough and emotionally tolerable. Removing moral judgment from night eating reduces the restriction-shame cycle that keeps symptoms active. Gentle structure can support regulation without imposing rigid rules, and trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming treatment allows the body to receive nourishment without overwhelming threat. When these conditions develop, night eating often softens naturally over time. Who This Episode Is For This episode speaks to adults living with anorexia and night eating syndrome, people who restrict during the day and eat at night, and individuals navigating chronic eating disorders or recovery that feels stalled despite effort. It also supports neurodivergent adults managing sensory needs around food and anyone seeking weight-inclusive, trauma-informed eating disorder therapy that honors autonomy and lived experience.

Signs of growing positivity from New Zealand's small and medium sized businesses. A new report from MYOB reveals that 33% of SMEs polled have more work or sales lined up for the first quarter than usual, and a further 40% say they have the amount they'd normally expect. The green shoots are showing up in sectors that have struggled of late, including manufacturers, retail, and construction. ABC Business Sales CEO Chris Small told Mike Hosking the vibe is incredibly positive, especially in comparison to the last two years. He says that this time last year they had high volumes of business owners saying their earnings were down and they weren't going to take their business to market, but now those business owners are reporting strong previous quarters.

This episode is all about the (sometimes surprising) benefits of comprehensive financing! Kristy breaks down why putting together a FULL plan for health will help patients and your practice in the long run. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. Thank you so much for being here. I want you to know that the Dental A Team, we truly, truly love what we do. And I wanna start this out by just thanking all of you for allowing us to be here. I know we're with you in your car or while you're getting ready in the morning or while you're falling asleep at night, I don't know, maybe in your team meeting, but we're here with you somewhere or I wouldn't be able to say this and we value and appreciate that, the consulting team specifically.   We love what we do, we love helping clients, we love helping people, we love helping practices and practice owners build a business that works for them and not them always working for the business. So I'm just super excited to be here today. I wanted to just shout out you guys, massive thank you for the support that you give us, that you continue to bring to us and just know we're here. Dental A Team is here for all of your needs and just reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com anytime you need us. And I have with me today,   Kristy, Miss Kristy, I adore you. Thank you so much for being here. I said on a different podcast we recorded that we have a slew of time together today and I'm just, I love it. It is the best way to end a call week. So thank you, Kristy, for being here with me today. How are you? And I'm excited because I think you're really excited about this topic. So how are you doing, Kristy?   The Dental A Team (01:17) Yeah,   I'm doing well. I'm grateful to have time with you. We don't always get time during the week, so I'm getting some extra Tiff time and it feels good to end the week this way.   The Dental A Team (01:30) I agree. I agree. I committed recently, just so everyone knows, to being more intentional about my one-on-one time with the consultants. it really made me not just podcasting, but like actual one-on-one time. But it made me think yesterday while I was going through the schedule, kind of figuring it out, it made me think of doctors too and practices. And this is not in alignment with our, get to it, we'll get to profit in a second, but it is kind of in alignment with profit because   We tend to forget, we just get in the machine of doing and in the machine of business and we forget that there's people and that you're not the only one who's busy or stressed or what have you and that the team is counting on you, the team needs you. So my leads and my doctors, it's just like a friendly nudge, a friendly reminder that if you're feeling stressed, you probably need to open up some time in your schedule to insert some team time. And while we push our clients to do one-on-ones, I do one-on-ones every month.   with our consultants, but sometimes you just need one-on-one time that's not a one-on-one. You know what I mean? You just need connection. And that's what I call it, is I call it our connection time. So we have our one-on-ones, and then we have our connection time. And I think in office, it's a little bit easier, because you guys are side-by-side and you're talking, but still, to just have that 10, 15 minutes, it's like, hey girl, tell me how your life is. What's new? What's going on? And really connect with people.   It's my strong nudge to remind you guys to give the kudos, give the connection, and make time for the people who are there doing this with you. So, Kristy, thank you. Thank you for bringing that up. And I am thoroughly enjoying this because I've had so much Kristy time and I get time tomorrow morning. So I am really enjoying this week and it really lights my life up. So thank you. Now.   The Dental A Team (03:17) You're welcome.   I was going to tell you, I love that you say that and I truly do believe this does tie to profits. And I know in practice we're super, super busy. I like to call it, go break bread with your people. Like be intentional with the time, even if you have to combine it, go break bread, take them out, get the work done on reviewing what you need to review, but then connect as people. And I do think that that reaps rewards in your profits because   The Dental A Team (03:24) I agree.   The Dental A Team (03:47) The teams that do this are more connected and they jive together. So I do think it ties together.   The Dental A Team (03:53) I agree, thank you, I agree.   Now tell me, Kristy, we've got quick tips to increase profit, and honestly, this is a quick tip to increase profit. We'll get you a couple more, but Kristy, tell me, because I agree, I think the connection does, but what about the connection do you think it is that does help the profit? It does help people really be on the same page and same team? What is that doing for the bottom line from a numbers standpoint? Because we can see it from an emotional standpoint and the relationship, but from a numbers standpoint, what do you see?   in those practices that do go break bread together.   The Dental A Team (04:26) Yeah, I love that you say that because it's connecting as humans and also like letting us see each other in different ways. It again, we talk about this so much. We look through loops, the providers do looking for problems. So really good at being nitpicky and finding problems. And you know, maybe you have the teammate that was late three times this week. And when you actually sit down and find out   my gosh, their grandma's going through cancer and you didn't know. It just sheds things in a different light and it lets us serve each other versus when we're in that critical mindset, we pull apart. So it really does connect us together. And when we're connected together, even the person that's going through the trauma or turmoil, they feel safe in the environment and protected and lifted up by their team. So they can leave it at the door.   I know we talk about that all the time and as humans, it's almost a false thing to say, because when you're in turmoil, it just doesn't stop. But when you know people understand, it can be your freeing space for just a few minutes or a few hours while you're at work. So it creates a different understanding and it allows you to connect as a team.   The Dental A Team (05:42) Yeah, and thank you. I agree. And that in itself, I think allows you all to be on the same ⁓ wavelength, like the same page we're connected where we're able, well, we're able to ask better questions and we're more comfortable, we're more vulnerable, and we're able to say when we need help. And I think that's massive because when we can be vulnerable with each other and say, hey, I'm not, I don't know what this means. I don't know how to credential a doctor.   tell me what do you suggest? Where can I learn it? Or we're just able to speak to problems that we're having or areas we need help in. Makes it easier to ensure that we are hitting those goals, because otherwise we're kind of faking it till we make it, thinking I'm the only one with an issue and I'm the only one who's stressed out and I'm the only one sitting in this space. But when you do have that alignment and connection, it's much easier for a team to be vulnerable with each other.   And then we actually can push KPIs and we can push goals and we can create profit because we're in alignment.   The Dental A Team (06:46) Yeah, you know what's funny? I went through a HR course one time and I remember them saying the biggest thing that's going to determine a new employee staying is how well they feel received. And I like to say truly, like, that goes for all your team members. And sometimes when we get in the rut of our day to day and we see the same faces every day, we forget to take care of each other. And so taking   Like I said, it doesn't have to be fancy, but get out of your space and reconnect as a human. It's gonna reap rewards on how they serve your patients too. They're gonna show up differently for each other and patients.   The Dental A Team (07:23) Yeah. Yeah.   ⁓ that's a massive one. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I love it. Thank you, Kristy That was that was fun. I know that wasn't ⁓ what you had in mind yet, but I it. I liked it. So everyone, there's one quick tip. ⁓ I think it's quick. think it's it's easy, but it's intentional. So you have to be very intentional about your schedule and how you're going to accomplish it. So set your goal. Do the thing. Now, Kristy, I am really intrigued and excited to hear your   Quick tip on, what do we call it? Increasing profit is what we're calling this one. So your quick tip on increasing profit. What is your, what is it? I'm so excited. You guys, she just like lit up when I told her. She's like, I've got an idea. And I'm just as shocked as you all are to hear it here. We're all hearing it the first time together. Let's go, let's hear it.   The Dental A Team (08:15) You think I'm going to say AR and I'm not.   The Dental A Team (08:18) I did!   The Dental A Team (08:21) Actually, it is part of it and we'll get to it. But the one that I'm thinking about right now is get to comprehensive financing. Everybody wants to just phase out phase one and you guys are tripping over dollars to make two. Like find a solution that gets people healthy. Then you can always back up to phase one if we can't find a solution. But so many times we dive into just the first phase.   The Dental A Team (08:29) Mm.   The Dental A Team (08:48) and we tap people out and then it's not till next year. So just try something different and get permission to share all you see clinically so your TC's can present comprehensive finances.   The Dental A Team (09:05) my gosh, you did. You came in swinging with that one. Okay, thank you. That is brilliant and I love that. And it is a quick tip. Now explain, define, make definitions here. So what would comprehensive financing by that, what do you mean?   The Dental A Team (09:19) What I mean is out of everything the doctor talked about, the total cost to get you healthy is, right? Presenting and finding a solution so they have a plan to get healthy. We're always gonna let the patient be in the driver's seat so we can do it in their timeframe or however their budget allows. But for the most part, give them a plan to be healthy, especially if that's what their goal is versus I don't wanna shock them. Literally the other day I had   a doc on and I was like, okay, so what you're telling me is if I come into you as a new patient and you're my doctor and you think I have cancer, you're not going to tell me that you're going to like just plant a little seed and then you're going to it come back and you're going to spring it on me. get permission. Well, number one, get in relationship with your patient and find out what their goals are and then get permission to share. And then also tell them we're going to   The Dental A Team (10:01) haha   The Dental A Team (10:15) we're gonna do this, they get to decide how fast or how slow we go. And so with that, then it can guide you because so many times I was telling, I remember back when I very first started, there was a doctor and he'd treatment plan crowns in all quadrants. And of course it was an elderly lady that had a budget, lived on a fixed budget. And I thought I was doing great, because I was just gonna get the first tooth done that was broken and obvious.   And one month later she called and was like, all I was doing was eating bread and that tooth broke. And I was like, so truly had I presented a solution that fit in her budget and she could get them all done at the same time, it would have been better for her and the practice. So I'm just challenging you to start with everything and then you can always go backward and you will capture more.   The Dental A Team (10:48) no.   The Dental A Team (11:12) doing that.   The Dental A Team (11:14) I love that idea. how does, thank you for the definition, how does that improve the profit point for them?   The Dental A Team (11:22) Yeah, you're doing more treatment on one person. It doesn't take as many patients and ⁓ I can schedule it all right now. And in fact, know, the same doctor that I was talking about, and I say this when I'm coaching my clients, I wish I was a brilliant person that thought about it, and I didn't even think about it at the time. It was years later when I learned better, but that doctor used to do wisdom teeth and practice.   And so I'd sit there and we'd diagnose people with fillings all over their mouth and he'd say, ⁓ you don't want to be numb on both sides. It's so uncomfortable. We'll do this side, then that side. And the next patient would come and they'd need wisdom teeth and he'd go, ⁓ you want them to do them all at the same time. You don't want to go through that again. Just we'll up everything. And I'm like, wait a minute. It was good for this person, but not that. How about we just let them decide? Do you want to do more, right? Versus, or do you want to do less and come more often?   The Dental A Team (12:13) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (12:19) So again, it doesn't take as many people and it slows down your day if we're doing getting people healthy.   The Dental A Team (12:19) Yeah.   Yeah, I love that because it's building better blocks in your schedule. It's utilizing your time. Your dollar per hour is going to increase and you're not as busy. You're not running around from patient to patient and room to room quite as much because you've got bigger cases that you're working on at a time. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (12:49) You got it. And naturally,   your overhead goes down. I used one instead of five bibs. I used one saliva ejector instead, you know.   The Dental A Team (12:53) Yeah.   Mm   hmm. Yeah. Yeah. And time in the chair, marketing dollars spent. Yeah. And you're targeting a different demographic of patient avatar, because you're targeting a patient avatar that wants to get healthy and can figure out the finances with you rather than just new patients who might need things diagnosed. I love that. Well, you you shocked me. You did it. I love that. So   The Dental A Team (13:03) Yeah.   You got it.   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (13:26) And I think actually those really tie in together now that I was going to repeat them and really in order to comprehensively diagnose and finance, right, to get the dollars for that, the team has to be in alignment. Like those things just don't, they don't happen for teams that aren't on board with your dental philosophies. And in order to be on board with your dental philosophies, you got to be connected as humans.   or they do start, I'm hands down telling you the truth from experience. If you lose the connection, they start to doubt you and what they're doing and what you're doing. They start really looking with a fine tooth comb at the things and it's just not worth it. So the connection piece, I do believe, like you said, it helps the profit points in multiple ways. And I think that's how to spearhead the comprehensive diagnosis and financing.   The Dental A Team (14:00) you   The Dental A Team (14:23) Also because then I can see a hygiene department who's on board with getting people healthy, co-diagnosing more comprehensively and pushing doctors to remember to diagnose comprehensively, which also will help on all areas, obviously.   The Dental A Team (14:38) Absolutely. I love that you say that. And I always use the saying Tiff, ⁓ happy team creates happy patients. You know, it happens by default. If you have a happy team, they serve the patients well and the money follows.   The Dental A Team (14:53) Yeah.   Yeah, absolutely. I totally agree with you. think everything that we do in life, if we can come at it with the right mindset and the right energy, we're pouring out the right, if we're pouring out the energy we want to receive, we can only see that energy. And so we only receive that energy. And even when people come across with a different energy, we're like, ⁓ dang, but it doesn't hit, it doesn't penetrate. It doesn't shake our whole days. And I remember so many times having team members that are like,   this Tiff, this patient said this, this and this that ruined my whole day. And I'm like, well, why the, why are you giving them that power? Like, what do you mean? It's 11 a.m. Like we got, we got six more hours together, lady. Like, what are we doing here? So when you have that connection and I have had, know, when I was in office, I was office manager, I did all the things wrong and I did some things right. And I learned and I, and I failed and I stumbled and I got back up and   I know one of the hardest pieces of culture was towing that line of being the supportive, you can come vent, friend, manager, and being the accountability space of like, we're gonna find solutions and just building the culture and the energy. it's not easy, it's hard and it takes work and it really takes, think everyone, you said it earlier, just really being in alignment.   with where we're headed and being connected on a relationship level that isn't just, it's personal and we've got this tangible relationship in between us, but it's also here because of those goals, because of what we're after, because of what we're doing, if that makes sense, rather than it just being the friendship. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (16:45) Yes, 100 %   I agree with you.   The Dental A Team (16:49) ⁓ I love that. So comprehensive diagnosis in general, I think helps profit points and then allowing your team the space and the ways to finance. What have you seen, Kristy, in your ⁓ experience, the best ways to do that? you said, within a budget, what are they doing? How are they doing this?   The Dental A Team (17:12) Yeah, well, again, I think it's getting in relationship with the patient and finding out what they really want, what's bringing them in. I mean, we talk about you got to, I say patients buy what they want, not necessarily what they need, right? And in dentistry, again, I'm there with you, we do things backward. We all want to say they're buying implants. No, no, no, they're buying what the implant gives them. They're not buying implants, but we want to   focus on, look at this, you know? And so we have to get to their level and figure out what is it gonna give them and tie everything back to that. And when you achieve that and you can show them how to get what they want, you're gonna win, you're gonna win. And then it's just about making it fit in their budget. So.   The Dental A Team (17:43) Yeah.   Yeah, to the patient drivers. Yeah. Yeah,   I remember I had ⁓ one of the first all on four cases that my doctor I worked for ever did. He, it was in the TC room and I remember hearing the treatment coordinator being like, what about that? Like, what do you miss eating? And the guy was like, I want a steak. I haven't had a steak in so long.   because he just had regular dentures. He's like, I want to chew a steak. And I remember, he wasn't buying an all-in-four denture. He was buying the steak. He was buying the lifestyle that he wanted to live. And I remember him coming back later and being like, I ate so much steak. He was just so happy. And the issues or the... ⁓   Like the rubbing, know, there's just so many, there's so many tweaks all in fours. They come with so many headaches, that's okay. He was like, I'm fine with it. I can still, I can eat my steak. Like let's fix it, let's keep going. But you're right. And anything we do in life in general, Brody used to say to me, we go to the store. He still does this, he's 17. But he's like, is it a want or a need? Mom, is it a want or a need? Yeah, my little four year old in the cart. I'm like, bro, we're here for me. So you don't need to ask me those questions.   But is it a want or a need? And I'd be like, well, it's a want that serves a need. And so we're buying, I'm buying it, right? But those are the spaces that we think people are buying for need, right? And that it's like, I'm buying an implant because I'm missing a tooth, but we're buying an implant because I want to be able to eat. We don't buy things just for need, we buy things typically.   I'll buy the expensive toilet paper because I want an expensive toilet paper lifestyle. I need the toilet paper, right? Like you're gonna, everything you do in life is based off of a want. So I love that you said that, Kristy, thank you. And you did, you came in with a shocker. I was so excited and my gosh, you nailed it. It was a home run. So I love it. I think we gave two quick tips on how to increase profit. I think they're very easily implemented. Again, easy versus intentional.   The Dental A Team (19:52) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (20:15) Be intentional and Kristy, thank you so much. I can go all day on action items, but if you had to serve them with two action items today, what would you tell them to do?   The Dental A Team (20:27) Ooh, boy, get in relationship with your team and see them as humans first and foremost, and then choose to get out of your comfort zone and share with your patients everything. Get permission to share everything and ease them and tell them you're gonna be here for the journey and we're gonna do it in their timeframe. Let them choose, don't choose for   The Dental A Team (20:49) nailed it. Yep, I love it. Thank you. Awesome. All right, listeners, I hope you loved this one as much as I loved this one. I had fun. Kristy, thank you for taking us down that journey. It was beautifully expansive. And if you guys can even just take a little glimpse into what it's like working with Kristy, today was your day.

Kate Scott-Dawkins, Global President of Business Intelligence at WPP Media, joins AdTechGod to share how agencies use economic signals, advertiser trends, and emerging AI shifts to forecast the future of advertising while helping brands stay ahead in a rapidly changing world. Takeaways Kate's early exposure to advertising storytelling sparked her marketing path. A linguistics background trained her to spot patterns and build forecasts. Staying at WPP let her shape long-term strategy and thought leadership. Modern forecasting blends government, financial, and proprietary client signals. Global events, politics, economics, and climate directly move the markets. Industry consolidation is accelerating, concentrating ad revenue among a few sellers. WPP packages insight via forecasts, weekly updates, and rapid client POVs. AI adds speed by summarizing large datasets and supporting analysis workflows. AI is less reliable for producing genuinely original insight on its own. Commerce and creator ecosystems may be disrupted faster than search. Authenticity, disclosure, and watermarking are becoming critical trust issues. Verified human-made content could become a premium tier in the future economy.

NFL Network suggested on Super Bowl Sunday that Aaron Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh is increasing by the day. Is this what we want? How long will we have to wait around this time? In what spot would we want Rodgers back? He put up good numbers against mostly bad teams or bad defenses. He was bad in the biggest games. Can the Steelers win a Super Bowl with that? Do fans want the Steelers to run it back in 2026? Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The guys wanted to get the lawyer viewpoint on the legal battle between DK Metcalf and the fan from the Lions game in December. How much money is at-risk for Metcalf in this suit? Rob and Nick told the guys that in Michigan, you can set the monetary amount when filing a lawsuit, but you can't do that in Pennsylvania. Did the fan target Metcalf, and more importantly, can that be proven? The discussion turned to future losses and what Metcalf can lose in this. Why did the fan include Ford Field in the lawsuit? Rob and Nick went through the next steps in the process. There could be 6-8 months before witnesses even get questioned.

On today's episode of The Last Days Podcast Pastor's Todd & Katie Holmes talk about the value of the things in our life and how we need to prioritize things according to the Word of God. Nothing worth having in life comes easy. Jesus gave up His life for our lives and we know that on the other side of great sacrifice is a great reward. If you give something and you don't even feel it or notice it, it was not a sacrifice. We need to learn how to listen to the voice of God when it comes to our giving and our lives!Make sure you are subscribed and keep up with us on social media.NEW EPISODES every Monday & Friday @ Noon.https://www.facebook.com/TheRiverOfTriCities/https://www.youtube.com/@TheRiverofTriCitiesChurchhttps://www.instagram.com/rivertcchurch/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/thelastdayspodcast/?hl=en

What will Israel do in the face of adversity? God had warned Moses that He would harden Pharaoh's heart, and there would be a confrontation between God and Pharaoh. The clash of rivals plays out in chapter five as Pharaoh shows his unwillingness to surrender his authority to the “God of the Hebrews.” The great question in this chapter is what the people of God will do when facing hardship after initially believing God's promise to deliver them from their burdens. Whom will they serve?

Last week we spoke to Sheila Gilheaney, CEO of Alcohol Alliance Ireland following a report published on youth drinking take a listen...Following that discussion psychotherapist, Michelle Whelan Kennedy got in touch with the show saying she felt that the argument on raising prices or increasing tax on alcohol is overly simplistic. “As a therapist and also as a mother, I see how raising the cost of alcohol has...forced drinking heavily before going out because it's unaffordable when people go out.”She joined Shane to explain her argument

Gov. Josh Shapiro on Tuesday unveiled a 53-billion-dollar state budget for the fiscal year that begins July first, the final budget proposal of Shapiro's term. Under the governor's plan, the spending gap would be made up by tapping into the state's rainy-day fund. Increasing public school funding is the big ticket item in the governor’s budget. But it’s not the only school policy he has in mind. Republicans in the state Senate say that Governor Josh Shapiro’s budget proposal would threaten Pennsylvania’s financial future if enacted. Republican Congressman Lloyd Smucker of Lancaster and York counties is suing Lancaster’s main newspaper. A Dauphin County judge dismissed Harrisburg mayor Wanda Williams' lawsuit over this year's budget, ruling that City Council was acting within its power when it defunded four positions within the mayor's administration. Pennsylvania State Police announce they're upgrading their vehicles with some of the latest technology. Those improvements include distinctive V-shaped light bars that provide full 360-degree illumination during traffic stops - and turn into arrow boards for traffic control - or floodlights for dark, hazardous conditions. Pennsylvania is expanding and improving its all-terrain vehicle trails and facilities across the state. The state's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announces it's awarding $1.4 million in grants for ATV projects in five counties in western PA and the Pennsylvania Wilds region. One of our region's high school athletic conferences has a new name.

Jason details a comprehensive seven-year strategy for building significant wealth through direct investments in single-family rental properties. Jason emphasizes that real estate is a multi-dimensional asset class that generates returns through six distinct channels, including cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits. A central concept highlighted is inflation-induced debt destruction, a process where rising prices effectively reduce the real value of mortgage debt over time. To ensure success, investors are encouraged to use conservative mathematical projections and maintain personal control over their assets rather than joining risky syndications. By utilizing specialized software and professional guidance, individuals can achieve compounded wealth growth that often remains hidden to those who only focus on surface-level metrics. Overall, Jason serves as a roadmap for achieving financial independence by treating income property as a leveraged buyout of a proven asset. Get your FREE https://propertytracker.com/ account today!

In this conversational episode, Emma and Ava explore what it really means to “drop in” before any meaningful work, practice, or conversation. They unpack how embodiment shifts us from surface-level survival mode into deeper presence, clarity, and connection. Ava shares the moment she knew silent retreats would be her life's work, and how her teaching evolved over time, from transcendence-focused awakening practices toward a more balanced approach that includes nervous system education, trauma awareness, and functional integration. Together, they speak candidly about burnout, the dangers of “spiritual perfection” promises, and why some tools help in one season of life but fall short in another. The episode also highlights the power of community and emotional safety, how being with others in a regulated, intentional space can create profound healing and belonging.   Chapter markers:  The “drop in” and why it changes everything [00:00] How Ava knew silent retreats were her path [00:10] Awakening practices vs nervous system healing [00:18] Burnout: what happened and what it taught her [00:27] The “spiritual perfection” trap and one-size-fits-all promises [00:38] Is Ava “channeling,” or is it skill + environment + group energy?

Building townhouses and apartments is becoming increasingly popular, with Auckland leading the charge. More than 36-thousand building consents for new homes were issued nationwide in the year to December, up 9%, with multi-unit homes making up the majority of those. Master Builders Chief Executive Ankit Sharma told Mike Hosking this is likely to continue in the long term due to infrastructure constraints and population growth in big cities like Auckland. He says it's better to build before demand comes or else there will be shortages. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The appointment of Mike Riggs as Chief Product Officer at Empath signifies the company's transition from founder-led intuition to formalized product governance. According to Wes Spencer, Empath reached over 500 MSP customers and now requires more disciplined processes as it moves from early-stage, high-velocity development to operational maturity. Mike Riggs described his role as systematizing elements that were previously managed informally—covering areas from design to engineering—and explicitly stated the intent to strengthen operational accountability for both the platform and its customers.This structural change follows recognition by the founders that their limited technical background required complementary leadership to scale effectively. Advisors highlighted that, while growth and partner engagement met expectations, scaling Empath's platform now demands greater rigor and repeatable operational practices. Empath's platform has evolved from being a convenience service to an operational dependency, with MSPs using it for training, team accountability, and embedded workflows. Mike Riggs emphasized the importance of refining user experience, onboarding processes, and support mechanisms as MSP reliance grows.A central theme discussed is the shift in Empath's product category—from a basic learning management tool toward a broader learning, development, and accountability platform for MSPs. Features such as notification systems and visibility into required actions move the platform beyond content delivery into proactive management of personnel performance and compliance. This evolution brings Empath closer to intersecting with HR, policy, and managerial oversight, compelling the company to balance user engagement features with the need for reliable, auditable, and controlled change management.For MSPs and IT service providers, Empath's shift has operational implications and risk factors. Increasing dependency on a single platform heightens the significance of product stability, disciplined rollout of new features, and clarity of governance. As platforms like Empath become more embedded in day-to-day operations, service providers must reassess processes for vendor risk management, accountability, and internal policy alignment. The move described is not an indicator of problems but of maturation—a transition that typically introduces both new safeguards and greater operational complexity.

Lance Roberts examines why bears have become an endangered species—and why that may be a warning sign rather than a confirmation of safety.

When I open my phone, it explodes in a cascade of fear, fury and furphies. That content does exactly what it is designed to do—leave me spinning in a tizz of powerlessness and desperation. Besides just turning my phone off, I think I have found something that makes that feeling less intense, and instead gives me the feeling that I am actually doing something that will make a difference.

Steve and Jeff discussed the NFL's salary cap increase for the 2026-27 season, explaining that it will exceed $300 million per team. The guys also broke down how the Saints can create salary cap space through restructures.

When we hear the word “persecution,” we usually think about people suffering and being killed in faraway places. That's exactly what's happening in Nigeria today where Islamic extremists are attempting a genocide that will eliminate the entire Christian population in that nation. But there are other forms of persecution, some of which we may not be paying attention to and they're happening right here in the West. James R.

Daily Study Many Christian entrepreneurs want God to increase their business, but growth does not always stop for financial or strategic reasons. This Daily Word examines a leadership principle from 3 John that reveals how truth must be able to move freely through a business for God to scale and sustain it. Using the examples of Gaius, Diotrephes, and Demetrius, this message shows how hospitality allows truth to flow, ego blocks correction, and integrity sustains long-term growth. It also highlights John's warning not to imitate what is evil, explaining how unguarded success can quietly reshape standards and undermine alignment. Christian entrepreneurs are encouraged to examine whether their leadership posture allows truth, accountability, and goodness to govern their decisions so God can trust their business with increase. __________ 3 John 1 CSB, Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭TPT, Romans 12:13 TPT, ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:18 ERV‬‬, ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT, Proverbs 11:3 MSG, Luke 16:10 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________    

Healing and increasing energy with Reb Orit Esther Riter

1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.
