In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with two guests who embody transformation in very different ways. First, Jimmy Rex shares how he walked away from a thriving real estate empire to build a life centered on purpose. After selling Utah's most expensive home and reaching every professional milestone, Jimmy realized success without meaning felt empty. What began as a childhood wound — being told he wasn't good enough — became the fire that drove him to prove his worth. But through deep reflection, he learned to channel that burn into something greater: serving others through his movement We Are The They, helping hundreds of men find connection, purpose, and love over fear.Next, Shannon and Matthew Missimer open up about how slowing down saved their family and led to The Motion of Gratitude. What started as a simple reminder to “be more grateful” evolved into a life-changing mission to live intentionally and teach others to feel gratitude, not just think it. From downsizing their life to traveling through Costa Rica with their kids, the Missimers discovered that real success isn't about doing more — it's about being present, connected, and grounded in what truly matters. Together, these stories remind us that the greatest wins come not from achievement, but from alignment — when you live with intention, purpose, and heart.************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MyMZSfItme8Listen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

In today's episode, we shared some powerful takeaways about creating real change. True transformation doesn't come from wishing, waiting, or just thinking differently—it comes from taking intentional action every single day. I talked about how consistency, gratitude, and patience build the kind of momentum most people mistake for luck. When your thoughts, words, and actions align, progress becomes inevitable. Remember, change isn't about perfection—it's about persistence, faith, and surrounding yourself with the right people who elevate your frequency.

Alan gets candid about the concept of intentional culture, reflecting on his own experience taking over a dental practice where the culture was largely unintentional. He explains how he inherited a laid-back, reparative-dentistry-focused office, a product of the previous owner's lax style and the robust GM insurance benefits of the time. Alan admits that while his practice's culture has been adequate, making changes now is incredibly difficult because the unintentional status quo is deeply ingrained. He argues that new owners or startups have a massive advantage in establishing an intentional culture from day one, which is key to implementing new systems and driving change. He challenges listeners to join the Very Dental Facebook group (passwords include Timmerman, Hornbrook, Lipscomb, Papa Randy, Gary, or McWethy) to share their stories of intentional culture or the struggles of changing an unintentional one.

November 1, 2025Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Crystal Johnson and Alyssa Wray to help us rediscover the vital role of sisters in the Christian community.What are the roles and responsibilities of sisters in Christian community? Because women in many of our churches are not preaching at the Sunday gathering and are not in main leadership roles, it may feel as if their contributions are not as valuable or even necessary. But, is this truly the case? Women in the New Testament and throughout history have served vital roles in the Christian community. Alyssa and Crystal, two women living in community together, will be exploring some of the ways women can serve their churches and communities through activities like hospitality, prayer, discipleship, and acts of service which are all rooted in Christ's own life of service here on earth.https://strengthtostrength.org/the-sisters-role-in-intentional-church-life/

A godly legacy doesn't happen by accident — it's the result of deliberate choices in what we say, do, and value. Each action, reaction, and decision shapes the impact we leave behind. Living intentionally means sharing what we know, love, and have so others can do it without us.

Most leaders don't fail because of a lack of ideas... they fail because those ideas never leave their heads. In this episode, Alan Briggs helps leaders make the crucial shift from intuitive to intentional, showing how to build systems and filters that multiply impact and prevent burnout. If your team constantly depends on you for decisions, it's time to get what's in your head into theirs — so your organization can grow beyond your personal capacity. Alan unpacks insights from the middle of his book, Anti-Burnout: A Lighter Way to Live and Lead in a Heavy World, and breaks down a practical process that will help you lead more effectively without carrying it all alone. What You'll Learn Why your best ideas and decisions shouldn't stay in your head The three essentials for moving from intuitive to intentional: process, courage, and trust How to clarify your vision, mission, and values so your team can act without hesitation The four H filters every leader needs (humble, hungry, honest, high-capacity) How to reduce decision fatigue and build simple, repeatable decision-making filters Why slowing down, documenting, and delegating is an investment, not a setback How releasing control can actually expand your influence and create new space for creativity Key Quote “Filters are pre-made decisions that make decision-making in the moment simple.” Resources Mentioned Book: Anti-Burnout: A Lighter Way to Live and Lead in a Heavy World by Alan Briggs Learn more about H2 Leadership: www.h2leadership.com Schedule a Breakthrough Coaching Session: h2leadership.com/#breakthrough Join the Conversation If this episode helped you rethink how you lead, leave a review or share it with a leader who's carrying too much alone.

The myth that introverts don't need people is one of the most harmful falsehoods out there, and I'm calling poppycock on it. We introverts may crave solitude, but we also long for meaningful connection, the kind that nourishes our soul rather than drains our energy. In this episode, I explore how intentional interactions can help us deepen relationships without betraying our quiet nature. From understanding Charles Duhigg's three types of conversation to choosing who belongs in our realm, court or at our table, I share how we can connect with depth, integrity and purpose. It's time to stop collecting people and start resonating with the right ones. ** Key Points ** Connection with purpose Quality over quantity Resonance over visibility #IntentionalInteractions #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

How tired did Shohei really get from getting walked nine times in game three and how did it affect his pitching? When will he pitch again? So many questions. Better listen for the answers.

Here's a fact of life regarding something that we all have in common: We've all been made by God to worship. The question is, who or what will we choose to worship. True and proper worship is our active response to God whereby we declare His supreme glory and worth, not just when we gather to sing, but with every fiber of who we are in every moment and endeavor of our lives. What are we doing to prepare our kids to worship this way in spirit and in truth, both now and for the rest of their lives? Listen in to learn how to curate deep, counter-cultural, and meaningful worship times with your kids, as we chat with seasoned and thoughtful worship leaders, Tom Yarbrough and Tammi Rhoton, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

Brian Thompson takes a deep dive into one of the most important tenets for mission-driven business owners: clarity. Clarity may sound simple, but it's not easy. If done well, clarity can be the foundation for building a business that truly supports your mission and your life. Once you find clarity, everything else becomes easier, and this episode gives you tips on how to do just that. Episode Highlights Clarity enables mission-driven entrepreneurs to build their business around their life. Building a business — particularly a mission-driven one — is filled with ambiguity. There's no single blueprint or one-size-fits-all formula. Without clarity, decisions feel overwhelming. But with clarity, decisions become faster and more intentional. You build a business that fits your life, instead of trying to fit your life around your business. The Discovery process cultivates clarity. In Brian's financial planning business, the first phase is the Discovery process, which includes three key meetings: the Get Organized meeting, the Vision meeting, and the Knowledge meeting. Rather than creating a rigid five-year plan, entrepreneurs design a framework that allows for flexibility, growth, and evolution. Clarity isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. Without clarity, you're stuck in reactive mode, chasing whatever opportunity lands in your inbox and making decisions based on fear. Intentional planning brings clarity, and clarity empowers action. If you're feeling pulled in too many directions, ask yourself: Do I know what I want? Do I have a plan that aligns with my values? Am I building a business that supports your life, or one that consumes it.

What if your praise could change everything? In this sermon, Pastor Darrell Blair shares the truth from 2 Chronicles 20:22 on how the men of Judah defeated the enemy as they began to sing and praise God. He emphasizes that when we give intentional praise, our perspective can shift, positions can change, and God's promises can be unlocked. Praising God can intentionally lead to breakthroughs, deliverance, and miracles. Worship goes beyond circumstances. Praise can be a weapon for spiritual warfare. Remember that we can always worship God through challenges. Sermon Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 20:22 We stream live every Sunday at 11 am and every Wednesday at 8 pm.

In this thought-provoking episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Rebecca Bultsma — international AI ethics researcher, Chief Innovation Officer, and co-host of AmpED to 11 — to explore what it really means to lead in the age of artificial intelligence.From Kendrick Lamar lyrics to ethical paradoxes, this conversation moves from AI strategy and governance to the human heartbeat of education. Rebecca unpacks her belief that “ethics is the seatbelt of AI strategy”—a grounding metaphor for how innovation must move fast, but never without responsibility.Together, Dr. Conner and Rebecca dive into:How ethics and strategy intersect in real-world decision-making, from boardrooms to classrooms.The VIBE Framework (Visible, Intentional, Beneficial, Earned) — Rebecca's approach to ensuring AI use in schools stays transparent and trustworthy.The coming wave of frontier models like GPT-5, Claude 4.1, and Grok 4 — and what they mean for leaders, teachers, and students.How AI agents could transform personalized learning and potentially repurpose traditional schools into community-based learning hubs.Why the next decade demands permission-to-fail leadership — cultures that value experimentation, iteration, and vulnerability over perfection.And how the learners of tomorrow — Generation Alpha and soon Generation Beta — will thrive by staying curious, unimpressed, and unapologetically human.Rebecca challenges listeners to imagine a future where education isn't confined to classrooms, grades, or standardized tests, but exists as a network of personalized experiences, guided by ethical innovation and human connection.This is more than a conversation about technology — it's a blueprint for human-centered transformation in the age of AI.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this Dad Edge Podcast episode, I'm joined by my son Ethan for a powerful father-son conversation about money, mistakes, and mindsets. But this episode goes way beyond budgeting tips. It's about the deeper fear, pressure, and responsibility men feel when it comes to providing and preparing the next generation. We explore everything from cost of living fears to smart saving habits, early investing, and the emotional rollercoaster of becoming financially independent. Ethan shares candid reflections about what worries him most as a 19-year-old and the surprising movie that inspired his money mindset. This episode is filled with laughs, lessons, and the kind of intentional parenting that creates legacy.

We shouldn't have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It's not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God's Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won't be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let's determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God.
