“Send Coach John a message”I found a combo item here to share with you today.  First comes from a difference-maker Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) where he shared this thought: “Until you find a way to make yourself happy, you'll never have any chance to make others happy.”  It's a fine line to recognize the fact that we need to take care of ourselves throughout life and many times it's not easy to do.  The other part of the “combo meal” was the recent podcast from John O'Leary - where he and his guest Elizabeth Svoboda discuss “The Art of Pacing” and taking time in our lives to be careful of burning out.  Amazing things to think about deeply with the person in our own mirror and to start making plans for finding a few more moments to take care of ourselves a bit more.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

What if the most powerful part of your retreat isn't what happens during the retreat-but what happens before and after?   In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with author, certified life coach, and wellness mentor Lauren Tedeschi to explore how retreat leaders can create deeper, longer-lasting transformation by embracing Lauren's Still Momentum framework.   Inspired by her new book, Still Momentum: How to Heal and Thrive at the Same Time, Lauren shares why stillness isn't about doing less-it's about becoming more intentional. In a world that constantly encourages us to consume more, do more, and move faster, she explains how creating moments of pause can actually help people move forward with greater clarity and purpose.   Together, Shannon and Lauren discuss how retreat leaders can weave Still Momentum into every stage of the retreat experience-from preparing guests before they arrive, to creating meaningful moments during the retreat, and continuing the transformation long after everyone goes home.   If you're looking for ways to create retreats that leave a lasting impact instead of a temporary emotional high, this conversation is full of practical ideas and inspiration.   In This Episode You'll Learn: How to create lasting transformation through your retreats Why retreat experiences should begin before guests arrive Simple ways to support guests after your retreat ends How the Still Momentum framework strengthens the retreat experience Why stillness and progress can exist together How to deepen guest relationships beyond the retreat weekend Why intentional follow-up creates stronger communities and repeat guests Whether you're hosting wellness retreats, leadership retreats, women's retreats, or personal development experiences, this episode will help you design retreats that continue changing lives long after checkout. What You'll Learn How to create transformational retreats Retreat follow-up strategies that build long-term relationships Why pre-retreat preparation matters How to improve the guest experience before, during, and after your retreat Ways to increase retreat guest engagement How retreat leaders can create lasting transformation Why stillness is becoming more valuable in today's AI-driven world Key Takeaways Transformation Doesn't End at Checkout The most impactful retreats continue long after guests return home.

Stillness Creates Clarity   In a world filled with constant notifications, AI, and endless information, stillness has become one of our greatest competitive advantages.   Retreats Should Start Before Arrival   Preparing guests emotionally and mentally before they arrive creates a more meaningful retreat experience from day one.   Retreat Leaders Build Community, Not Just Events   The strongest retreat businesses don't end when the retreat ends.   They create ongoing relationships that keep guests connected and engaged.   Momentum Doesn't Always Mean More Action   Sometimes the greatest progress happens when we slow down enough to hear what matters most.   About Lauren Tedeschi   Lauren Tedeschi is the author of Still Momentum: How to Heal and Thrive at the Same Time, a certified life coach, wellness mentor, and creator of the Still Momentum Experience.   With a background in leadership development, professional coaching, and transformational facilitation, Lauren helps individuals and retreat leaders create experiences that inspire meaningful, lasting change.   Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal journey, Lauren teaches that stillness and momentum are not opposites - they can exist together.

Day 19 of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's rebuttal case fell apart in slow motion. Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun called the postpartum psychosis defense "convenient," offered the clearest alternate theory yet, and then said the words "isn't suicide a mortal sin" in front of the jury. Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial. Judge William Sullivan denied it and then reprimanded the prosecution anyway. The jury went home early. Closing arguments are Wednesday.But the story nobody is covering is the firm. Both of the Commonwealth's rebuttal experts were retained through Park Dietz and Associates, named for the psychiatrist whose false Law & Order testimony got Andrea Yates' conviction overturned in 2005. The defense's star witness on Friday was Dr. Phillip Resnick, who was the Yates defense expert. This trial is a rematch, and the two prosecution experts cannot even agree on what is wrong with Lindsay Clancy.IN THIS EPISODEReddington takes apart Dr. Avram Mack on the DSM's four week postpartum window, the WHO's different standard, and the proposed six week revision. "Postpartum is not a disease, doctor." Mack admits it is roughly the third time in his career he has testified on criminal responsibility, and that he has treated about ten women with postpartum psychosis since 2001. On cross he concedes that blood work and thyroid testing should have been done, and as far as he can tell were not.Then the firm. Park Dietz and Associates, the Andrea Yates conviction reversal, the joint evaluation at Tewksbury, and why "two independent experts" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.Then Heilbrun. His testing found no malingering and a slight tendency to underreport symptoms. He diagnosed bipolar II, which splits the Commonwealth's own two experts. He offered "suicide combined with altruistic filicide" as the alternate theory, a theory in which love is the motive. He attacked the 18 minute voice on three fronts. And he used the word "convenient."Then the mistrial. "Intentional misconduct," Sullivan's instruction from the bench, and the second time religion has entered this trial through the prosecution's door.SOURCESBoston Globe, CBS Boston, ABC News, Boston 25 News, CNN, Fox News Digital, Court TV, and archival reporting from the Washington Post, NBC News and Psychiatric News on the 2005 Andrea Yates reversal.IF YOU NEED ITNational Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

The world constantly shapes how we think about success, identity, career, and what we should pursue, which can make it difficult to recognize what God has created us to do. As we intentionally allow the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to transform our thinking, we become increasingly able to discern God's will for our lives. Purpose is already planted deep within us, but it takes spiritual maturity and intentional effort to draw it out. The more our thinking aligns with God's thinking, the clearer His purpose for our lives becomes. __________ Romans 12:2 NLT, Proverbs 20:5 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

## Episode Summary   When free time finally opens up, where does your heart go by default? In this episode, Ryan Swanson opens Philippians 2 and challenges us to exchange self-serving patterns for the humble, intentional service modeled by Christ. Ask God who you can serve this week, and let the mind of Christ reshape what you reach for first.   ## Topics Discussed   - The default patterns that emerge when no urgent demand controls our time - Ryan's guitar habit as a revealing picture of a personal default - Philippians 2:3–11 and the mind of Christ - Moving from selfish routines to intentional service - Helping an older neighbor carry groceries and praying with her - Serving someone in the next block of free time   ## Key Takeaways   - What we reach for in unguarded moments often reveals what has our heart. - Christ's humility calls believers to look beyond their own interests. - Real change begins by identifying self-serving defaults and yielding them to God. - Intentional service can turn ordinary free time into an opportunity to point someone to Jesus. - Ask God for one person to serve this week, then act on the answer.

279 - If something has you triggered, frustrated, hurt, or just carrying energy you don't want to keep carrying, this quick episode is for you. In this episode of The Intentional Mind Podcast, we're talking about how to be more intentional with the energy you bring into hard moments so you can respond in a way you're proud of, protect your peace, and experience more joy instead of letting one upsetting thing hijack your whole day. You'll walk away with a simple way to think about your reactions, your communication, and the energy you're adding to the spaces you're in, especially when emotions are high. Because we don't always get to choose what happens, but we can get better at choosing what we bring to what happens next.

She walks through pausing to audit the automatic behaviors that fill a day, naming the ones that pull against a slower life, and replacing them one at a time with something better. Her takeaway is that healthy habits are built in small repeated steps, and the results show themselves over time rather than overnight. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://thiswondrouslife.com/twl/simple-living-building-intentional-habits Quotes to ponder: "Our habits build our foundation. Whatever we are pursuing, be that a dream or lifestyle change, our habits matter." "Changing habits and leaning into new routines and rhythms does not happen overnight. This is the space and time to extend extra grace to yourself and take small bites versus huge mouthfuls." "I'm not following a trend, I'm changing a lifestyle and that takes time. The results are not instantaneous, but show themselves over time."

What Sandbagging Actually Looks Like Jeff breaks down the most common sandbagging tactics he's seen in the wild, including: Forward‑tee manipulation — playing casual rounds from the up tees, then submitting those scores for handicap calculation. Intentional bad lies — dropping balls into rough, roots, or hazards “just to see what happens,” conveniently inflating scores. Penalty‑stroke amnesia — magically forgetting to count OB, water balls, or unplayable situations. Casual‑round heroics, tournament miracles — mysteriously shooting 10–12 shots better only when prizes are on the line. Jeff's take: real low‑handicap players win net tournaments. If the 18‑handicap is suddenly posting net 63s, something smells like week‑old range balls. How to Spot a Sandbagger The guys talk through the tells: Look at club championship history — who consistently performs way above their stated handicap. Compare casual‑round scoring vs. tournament scoring — massive gaps are red flags. Watch for “I never play this well” miracles — especially when they happen every time a trophy or gift card is involved. Cheating Stories That Make You Shake Your Head Jeff shares two jaw‑dropping incidents: The Fake Hole‑in‑One — a golfer pre‑placed his ball in the cup before the group arrived, then “found” it. The only thing missing was confetti and a marching band. The Vaseline Driver Guy — a player secretly applied Vaseline to his driver face to reduce spin and straighten shots. Creative? Yes. Legal? Absolutely not. The Rule: Confront Cheaters Immediately Jeff's message is blunt and correct: If you witness cheating, you must call it out right away. Not later. Not after the round. Not “I didn't want to make things awkward.” Integrity only survives if honest players defend it in the moment. Road‑Trip Vibes All of this unfolds while Jeff is literally driving through Arizona, proving once again that he can teach, rant, and diagnose golf pathology even while navigating desert highways.

"Our culture has put together two things: my worth is this if I weigh this." - Anne Poirier   Ann Poirier is a renowned body image expert, certified intuitive eating counselor, and author celebrated for her significant contributions to the Body Neutrality movement. A long-time survivor of an eating disorder, Ann has transformed her past struggles into a mission to help others cultivate a healthy relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. Her notable work includes the book "The Body Joyful: My Journey from Self-Loathing to Self-Acceptance," which chronicles her journey and insights into self-acceptance. Ann is also the founder of the Body Joyful Revolution, an initiative dedicated to dismantling body shaming and promoting acceptance irrespective of size and shape.   Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode of "All My Health There Is Hope," host Jana Short speaks with Ann Poirier, a courageous voice in the realm of body-image acceptance. From the impact of her upbringing under stringent body-conscious norms to her breakthrough realization of the need for hope, Ann walks listeners through her transformative journey. Ann addresses weight stigma, societal beauty standards, and her advocacy for body neutrality—pioneering a path for individuals to separate their self-worth from their body weight. Ann emphasizes the importance of loving one's body as it is, challenging the prevailing cultural tides that tie value and beauty to body size. The episode discusses the ideas articulated in her book "The Body Neutrality Playbook," which guides readers in shifting their perspectives regarding self-image and self-worth. Both Ann and Jana explore topics like societal judgments, self-worth, and how to influence a positive shift in future generations. Listeners are left with a message of self-affirmation and the understanding that authentic beauty arises from self-acceptance and gratitude for one's body.   Key Takeaways: Culture and upbringing significantly impact individual perceptions of self-worth and body image, as shared by Ann's personal experiences. The Body Neutrality Movement advocates for separating self-worth from body weight and is essential to fostering healthier body relationships. Encouragement towards self-appreciation for what the body can do instead of its appearance helps build a positive mindset. Judgment based on appearance is pervasive, and continual self-awareness and mindset shifts are vital to overcoming it. Intentional movement and self-care play key roles in promoting a healthier outlook on one's body, detached from societal expectations.   Resources: https://shapingperspectives.com/ https://www.instagram.com/annepoirier11/ https://www.facebook.com/anne.poirier.10 https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-poirier-72b66344/   FREE Body Confidence Unlocked E-Book https://shapingperspectives.com/confidence/   FREE subscription to the Best Holistic Life Magazine, one of the fastest-growing independent magazines centered around holistic living: https://bestholisticlife.info/BestHolisticLifeMagazine.   Get in touch with Jana and listen to more podcasts: https://www.janashort.com/ Show Music 'Hold On' by Amy Gerhartz: https://www.amygerhartz.com/music.

Episode Summary Feeling stuck can feel overwhelming, hopeless, and frustrating, but you are more powerful than you think. I'm sharing six simple tools to help you get unstuck and begin creating real movement in your life. Whether you feel stuck in a relationship, a job, a friendship, a pattern, or the way you feel about yourself, these steps can help you shift your energy, change your thoughts, and start moving toward the life you truly want. I talk about the importance of accepting where you are right now, not because you like it or want it to stay that way, but because acceptance creates movement. When we stop avoiding what is right in front of us, we can begin to make new choices. I also share how to get clear on where you want to go, how to stop giving energy to what you do not want, and why your thoughts and spoken words are so powerful. We talk about gratitude, journaling, emotional release, and the choice we all have between staying in the victim seat or stepping into empowerment. Key Takeaways Accepting your current reality does not mean you like it, approve of it, or want it to stay the same Avoiding what is happening in your life takes a lot of energy Getting clear on what you want helps you move toward a new reality Visualization and feeling into your future self can help you create change Your thoughts are powerful, but your spoken words are even more powerful Talking constantly about what is wrong can keep you anchored in the reality you want to change Gratitude helps shift your energy and move you from stuckness toward possibility Journaling is a powerful way to purge thoughts, emotions, and energy from the body You can choose the victim path or the empowered path Intentional thoughts and conscious choices help you reclaim your power MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair® Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Many creators dream of building an empire, but how many actually pull it off while still making time for family and personal passions?That's what I wanted to dig into with Ben Greenfield. He's been podcasting since 2008 and has built a massive personal brand around health and wellness. But what really fascinated me is how he's leveraged that brand to launch not just one, but two other businesses that are scaling to entirely different levels: a supplements company and a revolutionary health tech platform.I sat down with Ben to break down his entire revenue pie, his strategies for growing multiple companies, and how he keeps his personal brand from becoming the bottleneck in his rapidly expanding empire.If you've built a creator business and are wondering what it would take to turn it into something much bigger, I think you'll get a lot from this episode.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:12 The early days of podcasting03:00 Early revenue and online ventures04:15 The lightbulb moment: Scaling IP online05:59 Mapping out Ben Greenfield Life revenue06:33 Audience and platform scale07:31 Podcast revenue breakdown09:18 Coaching and its growth potential11:03 Life Network and Life Market12:16 Total personal brand revenue breakdown13:19 Integrated ad packages and whitelisting16:09 Affiliate revenue and long-term partnerships17:27 Team structure for Ben Greenfield Life20:29 Lessons for scaling content businesses22:45 Lifestyle design and work-life balance23:52 Launching Kion28:44 Disentangling personal brand from Kion31:32 Leveraging brand for launch, then scaling independently35:44 The new venture39:55 Life OS's rapid growth and scale42:47 The power of recurring revenue models44:31 Intentional scaling beyond personal brand47:47 Building an empire vs. a lifestyle business49:30 Ben's daily lifestyle and routine52:16 Wrap-up and where to find BenIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

Scott Wozniak is the CEO of Swoz Consulting, a leadership consultant, speaker, author, and former leader at the Chick-fil-A Support Center. For nearly a decade, Scott worked alongside Chick-fil-A's executive team, studying exceptional organizations around the world and turning those insights into improvements in customer experience and operations. Today, he advises leaders and multi-generational families on building strong organizations, creating meaningful legacies, and developing systems that turn their values into action. Scott joins me today to share how his early friendship with members of the Cathy family eventually led him to Chick-fil-A, what he learned working directly with founder Truett Cathy, and why intentionality matters just as much in families as it does in business. We discuss the value of reading and exposing yourself to better ideas, what successful multi-generational families do differently, why families need a compelling purpose that extends beyond wealth, and how annual gatherings can strengthen relationships across generations. Scott also explains why values are best passed down through consistent rhythms and experiences rather than lectures and how families can intentionally build a legacy that lasts. "If you get better inputs, you'll naturally end up with better outputs." – Scott Wozniak "What if we put the same amount of thought, strategy, and effort into our families that we do into our businesses and financial interests?" – Scott Wozniak "Take the things you value and then turn them into a rhythm." – Scott Wozniak This Week on The Wow Factor: How Scott's friendship with the Cathy family eventually led him to a unique leadership role at Chick-fil-A What working directly with Truett Cathy taught Scott about leadership, humility, family, and living out your values Why reading, audiobooks, podcasts, and better inputs can dramatically expand the way leaders think and solve problems What successful multi-generational families do differently to preserve their values, relationships, and sense of purpose Why Scott encourages families to develop a 100-year goal that gives future generations a compelling reason to stay connected How intentional family retreats and shared experiences can create stronger relationships and meaningful traditions across generations Why turning your family's values into consistent rhythms and practices is more powerful than simply talking about what matters Scott Wozniak's Words of Wisdom: Take the things you value and turn them into rhythms. Instead of relying on lectures to pass values to the next generation, create practices and experiences that allow your children and grandchildren to live those values. Over time, those rhythms become patterns that shape your family's identity and carry what matters most into future generations.

Great healthcare design is invisible. You feel calmer, you find your way, your family has a place to rest, and you never notice the hundred decisions that made it happen. Kristin Green, a healthcare architect at Earl Swensson Associates (ESa) in Nashville, builds her whole practice around that idea. In this episode, she walks through what it actually takes to design hospitals that balance operational efficiency with genuine, patient-centered care. We get into the human details and the hard tradeoffs. Why she starts every project by leaving her ego at the door. How ESa levels the room so the nurse's voice carries as much weight as the CEO's. What she'd change about sterile, all-white healthcare spaces. And how AI has earned a real place in her workflow, from generating exterior concepts to building a data-backed space program in hours instead of weeks. This one is for architects, healthcare and AEC leaders, and anyone curious about where design and technology are heading. It's a thoughtful look at building spaces that serve people first and still hold up for the next 30 years. About Kristin Green Kristin Green is a healthcare architect at Earl Swensson Associates (ESa) in Nashville. Known for her collaborative approach, she works closely with design teams, clients, end users, and consultants to guide projects from concept to completion while preserving the integrity of the design vision. A University of Cincinnati graduate, she is skilled in 3D software and driven by the belief that great design should be functional yet beautiful, inspiring, and timeless. Her process starts with intentional listening, so that the spaces she creates reflect the people and stories behind them.   What We Cover Introduction and Kristin's path from Cincinnati's co-op program to healthcare design Why ESa's single-office culture in Nashville shapes how the work gets done Intentional listening and the visioning session that starts every project Leveling the room so end users, not just leadership, shape the design Balancing emotional patient experience with operational efficiency The small details that change everything, from daylight to washers and dryers on the floor Emerging trends: hospital robots, pneumatic systems, and AI-enabled patient monitoring How ESa thoughtfully integrates AI, from concept generation to data-backed programming Preserving design vision across years, consultants, and team turnover The Arthur M. Blank Hospital and designing for timelessness over trends Where to find Kristin and closing thoughts   Key Takeaways Listening beats telling. The best healthcare projects start with a visioning session where the design team leaves its ego at the door and hears what actually matters to the people who will use the space. Warmth is a design decision. A facility can be cutting edge and still feel human, through daylight, color, and details that fight the sterile, institutional default. AI is a curator's tool, not a replacement. Kristin uses it to generate thousands of concepts and to build data-backed space programs, then applies human judgment to what's real, buildable, and right for the client. The first design is rarely the final one. Collaboration and early contractor pricing often produce a better, more cost-effective result without losing the intended look. Design for decades. Timeless choices matter most in buildings that may not change for 20 or 30 years.   Resources + Links ESa website: https://esarch.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-plummer/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/earl-swensson-associates/ Career Collective: https://www.mycareercollective.com

Today we kick off our new teaching series, Leaving the Crowd to Follow Jesus! Throughout Jesus' ministry, He was often surrounded by large crowds. Yet while many were interested in Him, only a few chose to truly follow Him. Over the next five weeks, we'll explore what it means to move from simply being part of the crowd to becoming a genuine follower of Jesus. This week, we'll be in Luke 14:28–30, where we'll discover that following Jesus means moving away from impulsive decisions and instead making decisions intentionally.Join our Online Campus live Sundays at 9:09 AM!

Rizz officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Vietnamese doctors perform nation's first successful penis transplantThe best states for swingers revealed — with a few surprising Southern states taking the top 3 spotsNew Jumbotron at Illinois High School Falls, Damages Gym During Installation on VideoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some people celebrate birthdays with dignity. The Rizzuto Show celebrates them with sarcastic greeting cards, giant pastries, smoked deviled eggs, Italian rainbow cookies and a handcrafted pasta spoon featuring Tommy Wiseau.Welcome to Episode 201 of The Rizzuto Show, the comedy podcast where turning 48 apparently means your coworkers get unlimited permission to remind you that death is approaching.The show kicks off with some completely normal DuckTales appreciation before Lern proposes the crew go see Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot and Great White. That immediately becomes a scheduling nightmare involving Rafe's Funny Bone weekend, Moon playing Valley Park Fall Fest and Rizz trying to figure out whether everybody can somehow attend three events simultaneously. Also, Moon may or may not have dreamed about Sebastian Bach. His dreams apparently have continuity now, so that's something everyone has to live with.Then Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Which is none.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.From there, Crap on Celebrities brings another avalanche of entertainment news. The crew gets into Slipknot and Sid Wilson, Stray Kids dominating the Billboard charts, the debate surrounding a potential Asian pop Grammy category, and Frankie Valli continuing to perform at 92 — which leads everyone to wonder whether Frankie is enthusiastically choosing the stage or operating entirely on decades of muscle memory.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.Then somebody pays $192,000 for Sophia Petrillo's purse from The Golden Girls, because apparently having money is exhausting and eventually you simply run out of normal things to buy.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.And somehow that's still not the most disrespectful conversation of the episode.Because it's Rizz's birthday.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.It's heartfelt. It's insulting. It's carb-heavy.In other words, it's the perfect Rizz Show birthday.Hair metal, ridiculous movie theories, entertainment gossip, comedy talk, celebrity arguments and enough birthday shenanigans to make HR quietly close its laptop — Episode 201 is another completely normal comedy podcast from St. Louis.If you've ever wondered what happens when grown adults combine Sebastian Bach, The Goonies, Brad Pitt, Tommy Wiseau and Italian cookies into one morning show, congratulations.

"If I can't say no to the Big Mac, or if I can't get my body to move intentionally, there's an element of self-mastery I don't possess. And so therefore I cannot give." ~ Chase CrouseWhat does John Paul II's Theology of the Body actually have to do with skipping the gym or ordering the Big Mac?Why might chasing your old "glory days" workout be the exact thing keeping you from getting healthier now?What's the real difference between comparing yourself to a fitness influencer and imitating a saint?In episode 107 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit down with Chase Crouse, founder of Hypuro Fit, a Catholic fitness and nutrition coaching platform built to help people grow in strength, discipline, and virtue. Chase served as a missionary with Net Ministries before earning degrees in biblical theology, and he shares the exact moment reading John Paul II's Theology of the Body that changed how he saw exercise entirely: the realization that self-donation is impossible without self-mastery, and that gift of self to God and others requires a body and will that are actually trained to give.From there, the conversation moves into the practical side of that theology. Chase breaks down why so many people fail to build a fitness habit, either chasing an all-or-nothing intensity from their athlete days or never having built any tolerance for discomfort at all, and introduces the idea of minimal effective dosing, doing the least amount necessary to get real results rather than burning out on unsustainable extremes.Kenna and Chase also dig into the difference between comparison and imitation, why social media makes fitness advice feel like hard science when it's actually full of nuance, and how the Catholic tradition has always framed imitation, of Christ and the saints, as the true goal rather than something to feel shamed by. Chase closes with the one piece of practical wisdom he gives every client trying to build a healthier morning routine.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if caring about their physical health is a distraction from their spiritual life, or anyone looking for permission to start smaller than they think they need to.Chapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:30) - Welcome and Meet Chase Crouse(02:42) - High and Hard: Postpartum Health and a New Book Launch(17:08) - From Personal Training to Founding Hypuro Fit(18:36) - The Theology of the Body Lightbulb Moment(28:17) - Why Habits Are Hard and the Power of Minimal Effective Dosing(39:35) - Filtering Fitness Advice: Comparison vs Imitation on Social Media(53:33) - Sleep, Prayer, and a Final Challenge by ChoiceLinks and Resources:Chase Crouse and Hypuro Fit - https://www.hypurofit.org/Sanctify Your Day: A Structure to Live an Intentional, Healthy, and Holy Life - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/sanctify-your-day/The God of Endurance: A Practical Guide for Incorporating Exercise and Nutrition into Your Spiritual Journey - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-god-of-endurance/Support the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

What is actually shaping your life? Most people point to genetics, family, money, education, or the circumstances they were born into. Those things matter, but they are not the whole story. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach reveal the forces you can control that are quietly determining your future. Without intentionality, years can pass while your beliefs, habits, relationships, and tolerances steer your life somewhere you never consciously chose.This conversation challenges Christian men to examine what they believe, where they place their attention, what they repeatedly do, and who they allow to influence them. Your routines are shaping who you become. Your relationships are defining what feels normal. The things you tolerate are slowly establishing your standards. Biblical masculinity requires more than good intentions—it requires taking responsibility for the direction of your life and aligning your daily decisions with truth, faith, and the purpose God has given you.A great life does not happen by accident. It is formed through commitments you honor, adversity you confront, and the small decisions you make when nobody is watching. Men who continually run from difficulty become weaker, while men who trust Jesus and lean into adversity allow hardship to produce strength, maturity, and endurance. This episode will help you put your hands back on the wheel, evaluate who you are becoming, and intentionally build a life that reflects God's plans rather than the path of least resistance.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Dr. Bertina Hooks has been a hospitalist, a locums doctor, a private practice owner across three locations, a utilization management reviewer, a medical expert witness, and a physician coach. She built all of that intentionally, piece by piece, while raising a daughter and running a business with no roadmap. Then in December 2022, she was hospitalized with necrotizing fasciitis and woke up without her right leg below the knee. In this episode, she talks about burnout recovery, career reinvention, and the non-clinical pathways most doctors do not know exist until they are desperate enough to start looking. Her message to every doctor who feels trapped is the same: you are not stuck, you are not broken, you just need clarity about what you are actually looking for. Timestamped Highlights [06:00]: Dr. Hooks describes how she set up her own outpatient practice from scratch, and the specific systems she built before she saw her first patient that kept charting inside clinic hours from day one. [09:00]: She explains where she learned the delegation and workflow skills that most doctors never develop, and why hospitalist medicine was the unexpected training ground for running a sustainable practice. [21:00]: The hybrid approach she used to start her private practice without financial risk, running hospitalist shifts alongside building her own panel, and why it allowed her to ramp up slowly and intentionally. [22:00]: Dr. Hooks describes the health emergency that changed everything, and what it forced her to ask herself about medicine, identity, and what she actually wanted. [25:00]: She maps out the three non-clinical career paths she coaches doctors through most often, including one that most physicians misunderstand entirely. [33:00]: The values energy audit she uses with every coaching client, and why she believes alignment between values and career is the foundation of burnout recovery. Three Key Takeaways 1. Sustainable practice requires intentional systems, not just goodwill. Dr. Hooks did not stumble into an efficient clinical day. She designed it, deliberately, before she opened her doors. Pre-visit labs ordered a week in advance. Huddles with staff before morning and afternoon sessions. Templates for normal inbox results handled by the nurse, with anything flagged coming directly to her. Scribes from early on. Delegation structured around scope of practice. She knew what had made her exhausted as a resident and as a hospitalist, and she made different decisions. The lesson is not that her system is the right one. It is that she had one, and most doctors never build theirs. 2. Your medical degree is portable in more directions than you think. Dr. Hooks has built income streams across clinical medicine, utilization management, medical expert work, and physician coaching. None of the non-clinical work required an additional degree. What it required was a willingness to see her existing skills differently, and a mindset shift around what counts as using her training. She coaches doctors who are considering a pivot and consistently finds the same thing: the barrier is almost never competence. It is imagination. The belief that there is only one way to be a doctor, and that stepping outside it means starting from scratch. 3. Burnout recovery starts with recognizing the signals before they become a crisis. Dr. Hooks describes burnout as a spectrum, and the early signals are easy to miss or explain away. The clearest early sign she names: coming back from a break and not feeling the return of motivation that used to be automatic. She teaches a values energy audit as one of her foundational coaching tools, built on a simple question: when you look at where your energy is going, how much of it is actually aligned with what you care about? That audit, she says, is often the first time a doctor has been asked that question. And the answer is almost always the beginning of everything that needs to change. Guest Bio Dr. Bertina Hooks is a board-certified internal medicine physician, entrepreneur, and physician coach based in Texas. After building a multi-location private practice, navigating a serious health emergency that resulted in a below-knee amputation, and exploring careers across utilization management, medical expert work, and telemedicine, she founded Pinnacle Business Academy to help doctors navigate burnout recovery and career reinvention. Her memoir, From Fire to Freedom: A Memoir of Transformation, Renewal, and Resilience, launches September 23rd, 2026. Find her at pinnaclebusinessacademy.org and bertinamhooksmd.org.

Today, host John Norlin shares a strategy called Staff Chips, a simple physical system that helps building administrators be more intentional about connecting with every member of their staff, not just the ones they naturally gravitate toward. He also explains why systems matter more than goals when it comes to relational work. Having the intention to connect more with staff is not enough. A concrete, repeatable process is what actually makes it happen consistently over time. In this conversation, John offers important reminders for educators and leaders: Every leader has staff they naturally connect with and staff they do not. Staff Chips makes the intentional ones just as likely to happen as the natural ones. Systems outlast goals. A physical reminder that you carry through the day is more reliable than a general intention to connect more with your people. You do not have to connect with everyone every day. Working through the jar over time is enough to ensure every staff member receives intentional attention from their leader. This strategy works beyond administration. Teachers, family members, and friends can apply the same thinking to the relationships that matter most to them.

Alan Mead welcomes Southern California cosmetic and biomimetic dentist Dr. Matt Nejad. Matt shares his career journey—from buying a modest two-chair practice straight out of dental school to run his own self-directed "residency" in meticulous care, to becoming part of an aspirational practice in Beverly Hills. The two dive into the core philosophy of biomimetic restorative dentistry, the power of intentionality and rubber dam isolation, and why saving natural teeth with selective caries removal and vital pulp therapy should be prioritized over rushing to implants or root canals. Plus, they discuss the ergonomic and clinical edge of LM-Dental's non-reflective Dark Diamond instruments (distributed in the US by Garrison Dental) and meet Dr. Nejad's mini Goldendoodle service-dog-in-training!

Every seed made on an affected device from that point carried roughly 40 bits of entropy on Mk2 and Mk3, and about 72 on Mk4, Mk5 and Q, instead of the intended 128. That is guessable. Someone did the maths offline, derived the addresses, checked them against the public chain, and swept everything with a balance. Somewhere between 1,400 and 1,800 bitcoin gone, depending on whose forensics you trust, with a median victim loss of one BTC. The part people keep missing: updating the firmware does not fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.ACTION FOR LISTENERSMove funds to a brand new seed BEFORE upgrading firmware (Lopp's guidance, on reports of update problems).Use high fees. If you see your own coins in the mempool, the attacker opted into RBF and you can outbid them. Window is minutes.Multisig users: consider a private mempool like Marathon's Slipstream.Keep the device; the UID may prove ownership in any recovery process.Updating does NOT fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.You are exempt only if you added 50+ fair independent private dice rolls, or used a strong unique BIP39 passphrase stored separately.BTCPay Server: unauthenticated LND macaroon theft, actively exploitedSources: BTCPay security advisory / v2.4.2 release / CoinDesk / TFTCCRITICAL FRAMING NOTE: this is ONE story, not two. The "BTCPay bug" and the "LND credential exploit" are the same event. The vulnerability is the macaroon leak. The Aug 8-9 wave of coverage is follow-up hardening, not a new incident. Do not present them separately.REMEDIATION (updating alone is NOT enough)Update to v2.4.2. Verify "2.4.2" in the footer.Update NBXplorer to 2.6.10+.Revoke and regenerate LND macaroons. Updating stops new theft but does nothing about already-stolen credentials. Deleting files is insufficient; the macaroon root signing key must be destroyed at node level. v2.4.2 does this automatically for standard Docker deployments. Custom reverse proxies, separate Tor services or port forwarding must rotate manually.Move funds out of any BTCPay-generated on-chain hot wallet and recreate it.Update LND to 0.21.1. Audit for unrecognised channel closures, unknown peers, unexplained balance changes.SIDE EFFECT WORTH FLAGGING: v2.4.2 removes public LND API access on Docker deployments, which breaks remote wallet connections such as Zeus connecting to your own BTCPay node. Intentional, no restoration timeline published.BREAKING CHANGE: Greenfield Basic authentication disabled by default five minutes after account creation (#7492). BTCPay: "We are not aware of any user impacted by this breaking change, as API Keys authentication is generally used."Boltz suspends all swaps indefinitelySources: Boltz statement / canary.boltz.exchange / The Defiant / TFTC / Bull Bitcoin statementCORRECTION TO THE COMMON FRAMING: Boltz has not shut down. It suspended swap services indefinitely. And the canary sequence runs the opposite way to the rumour: lapsed → suspended → renewed clean.The Bitcoin Red TeamSources: Calle and Rob Hamilton on Nostr/X / Bitcoin Magazine / CoinDesk / TFTC / OpenSats Red Team FundSUMMARYThis is the story that explains the other four. After the Coldcard exploit, Calle and Rob Hamilton pointed frontier AI models at the open-source Bitcoin stack and started auditing everything. In 108 hours, 25 developers scanned 501 projects and produced 7,958 findings, 1,280 of them rated high or critical, at a compute cost north of 58,000 dollars. They found the BTCPay bug's neighbours, and Boltz cited exactly this dynamic when it switched itself off. The uncomfortable symmetry is that the same capability doing the defending is what an attacker almost certainly used on Coldcard in the first place. And the bottleneck turns out not to be finding bugs, it is telling anyone: only 19.5% of the projects they scanned even have a SECURITY.md file, and only 13.1% list a security contact. The scanners move at machine speed. Responsible disclosure is still hunting around for an email address.BIP-110: the fork that mined two blocks and frozeSources: bip110monitor.com / Peter Todd code review / Aaron van Wirdum, Bitcoin Magazine / Lopp's Layman's Guide / Saylor essay / CoinDeskRELEASESBitcoin core / protocollibsecp256k1 v0.8.0 - 2026-08-03Adds a native Silent Payments (BIP-352) module directly into the crypto library nearly every self-custody wallet builds on, plus up to ~11% faster signature verification. Quietly the most consequential positive release of the fortnight: it lowers the bar for every wallet to ship reusable static receive addresses.Bitcoin Knots v29.4 - 2026-08-08Non-urgent maintenance: fixes a chainstate DB bug causing repeated large rewrites, and adds corruption-detection safeguards around BIP-110 mandatory signaling. No critical fixes. (No Bitcoin Core release in window; latest is v31.1 from 2026-07-08.)Hardware / signingColdcard Firmware 4.2.0 (Mk2/Mk3) - 2026-08-03The patch for the entropy catastrophe. Affected ranges: Mk2/Mk3 4.0.1 through 4.1.9; Mk4/Mk5 all before 5.6.0; Q all before 1.5.0Q. Companion fixes shipped the same day: 5.6.0 Mk4/Mk5, 1.5.0Q, 6.6.0X Edge, 6.6.0QX Edge Q. Updating does NOT fix an existing seed - changelog says Mk3 users "must regenerate any seeds made on earlier versions as their entropy is critically low at just ~40 bits." TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME and SATSCARD unaffected.Krux 26.08.0 - 2026-08-04Maintainer odudex is stepping down and the project may be archived. "Krux was not created by me: Jeff started it and passed it on to me, and now it is my turn to pass the torch." On succession: "Krux may be carried on by another maintainer, if a proof-of-work backed Krux contributor accepts the role. Otherwise the Krux project will be put in sunset mode and gracefully archived in a few months." Cause is hardware, not drama: "K210 chips are no longer produced, and Canaan dropped the Kendryte line entirely." Substantial release regardless: fixes a heap buffer overflow in the camera entropy module, adds stricter PSBT fee-calculation checks, replaces the Python UR stack with a faster C module, and makes Krux Installer fully offline.Frostsnap v0.3.0 - 2026-08-05FROST threshold-signing device ships reproducible/deterministic builds and "a fresh release signing key as part of an overhauled release-signing pipeline." Well timed in a fortnight where "can you verify what is running on your signer" is the whole conversation. Catch: the new key breaks in-place Android updates, so direct-APK users must uninstall, reinstall, and re-visit their threshold devices to restore.Trezor Suite v26.7.4 - 2026-08-04Lowers minimum Normal-priority fee rate to 0.2 sat/vB and ships updated Safe 7/5/3 and Model T firmware with security improvements.BitBoxApp 4.51.4 - 2026-08-07Bundles new BitBox02 firmware v9.26.5.Specter Desktop v2.1.11 - 2026-08-09Genuinely security-relevant: adds auth and CSRF protection to the HWI bridge settings, restores validation of active API tokens so revoked JWTs are rejected, and warns that Specter's auth layer does not encrypt the data folder. Also ships an in-app Coldcard Mk3 seed-entropy advisory.Bitkey source/2026-08-02-0031 - 2026-08-02Block's consumer hardware wallet, routine source drop.LightningBTCPay Server v2.4.2 - 2026-08-07Actively exploited, funds already stolen. "This release contains fix of a critical vulnerability that is being actively exploited. You need to update as fast as you can." Unauthenticated remote .macaroon disclosure for LND, plus a TOTP 2FA bypass via Greenfield Basic auth. Requires NBXplorer 2.6.10. Breaking change: Basic auth disabled by default five minutes after account creation.

Thank you for being here! I am grateful for this day. I am grateful for this moment. Most gratitude that we show is situational. It's reactive. That's gratitude because of our circumstances.Intentional gratitude is something entirely different.Intentional gratitude isn't asking, "What happened today that I can be grateful for?"It's asking, "How can I experience today from a place of gratitude?"

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about why so many professionals drift through their careers instead of intentionally shaping what's next. My guest this week is Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer, executive coach, leadership advisor and co-author of Now Near Next.Cynthia shares her own unexpected career transition after losing a senior executive role and explains how the work she had already done to prepare for her next chapter gave her the confidence to pursue entrepreneurship instead of returning to corporate America. We explore why so many high-achieving professionals become so focused on proving themselves in their current roles that they never create space to think about where they want to go next.In our conversation, we discuss the importance of identifying your natural talents instead of focusing exclusively on building new skills. Cynthia introduces the ACES framework to help people recognize the strengths that come most naturally to them and explains why these often become the foundation for more meaningful and sustainable career growth.We also talk about expanding your current role instead of waiting for someone else to create opportunities for you. Cynthia shares practical strategies for identifying business problems you can solve, making the case for broader responsibilities and reframing self-promotion as an act of service rather than self-interest.Finally, we explore the role fear plays in career decisions and why learning to recognize your body's early warning signals can help you interrupt unhelpful self-talk before it takes over. Cynthia explains how greater awareness, combined with intentional practice, can help us respond more confidently to uncertainty throughout our careers.About My GuestDr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is leading a powerful conversation around the hidden problem of how high-performing individuals and organizations gradually lose alignment, not because they fail, but because they stop examining where they're headed.Dr. Cynthia is a human capital strategist, executive coach, and bestselling author who brings over 30 years of experience working with leaders at the highest levels of business.

Scott Sullivan and Robbie Norman conducted a podcast interview discussing intentional multiplication in discipleship, focusing on the fourth element of the FORMED: A Discipleship Culture Blueprint. They explored how to assess whether gospel preaching, and church culture produce multiplying disciples rather than just attendees, with Robbie sharing how First Baptist Statesboro tracks spiritual fruit through stories of transformation rather than just counting attendance numbers. The conversation covered practical steps for creating multiplying environments, including finding third-generation disciple makers and making multiplication visible through storytelling. They discussed challenges churches face when disciple-making processes break down, emphasizing the importance of having biblical, scalable, and reproducible systems. The interview concluded with practical suggestions for implementing multiplication, including highlighting disciple-making in membership classes and regularly training church members in discipleship practices.Discipleship Multiplication Effectiveness MeasurementScott and Robbie discussed the fourth element of the FORMED: A Discipleship Culture Blueprint, focusing on intentional multiplication. They explored how to measure the effectiveness of discipleship efforts beyond just attendance numbers, with Robbie sharing how First Baptist Statesboro tracks both metrics and stories of spiritual growth. The conversation highlighted the importance of evaluating fruit rather than just activity, and the need to identify where God is working in the church to join and support those efforts.Church Discipleship Process ImprovementScott and Robbie discussed how to assess and improve disciple-making processes in churches. Robbie emphasized the importance of having a biblical, scalable, and reproducible discipleship process and suggested diagnosing where people are dropping out in the process. They also discussed the need for clear communication of the process to church members. Scott highlighted the challenge of low baptism numbers in some churches and encouraged perseverance, noting that God may be working behind the scenes.Disciple-Making Environment Evaluation StrategiesScott and Robbie discussed evaluating disciple-making environments and preventing stagnation. Robbie shared how he identifies multiplication by looking for third-generation disciple makers, contrasting this with stagnant Sunday school classes. Scott recommended two resources for leaders seeking to implement effective discipleship strategies: the ReFocus Pathfinder revitalization plan through Rob Peters and upcoming regional cohorts launching in April 2026.Discipleship Culture Strategy DiscussionScott and Robbie discussed strategies for creating a discipleship culture in churches, focusing on making multiplication simple and repeatable. Robbie suggested sharing stories of multiplication through videos and social media to inspire others and emphasized the importance of lead pastors discipling others. They also discussed outreach methods, with Robbie sharing First Baptist Statesboro's approach of leveraging everyday interactions rather than traditional visitation programs. The conversation concluded with Robbie highlighting the importance of training disciple-makers and incorporating discipleship into the new member process.

Text Us Your Feedback! (Likes, Dislikes, Guest/Conversation Recommendations). There's a wound most men carry and rarely name: the father wound. In this episode, Boysen sits down with Ian Schwartz and John Harrington — co-founders of the Intentional Fathers Initiative — to talk about why intentional fathering isn't just good parenting advice, it's how generational wounds actually get healed.Ian and John build what they call "father-focused men's work" — spaces where men bring their real challenges as fathers into the container of men's work: naming the father wound directly, examining what was passed down, and choosing, on purpose, what to carry forward and what to leave behind. They talk about violence in its many forms, including the quiet kind — a father who's present in body but absent everywhere that matters. They break down the four pillars of men's work (accountability, integrity, vulnerability, authenticity) applied to fatherhood, and make the case that self-care isn't optional — it's what makes healing possible at all.If you're carrying a father wound, raising kids of your own, or both — this conversation offers a real path forward, not just a reframe.Learn more about their work at the Intentional Fathers Initiative  Hearing the call?

It takes a team.

Have you ever said you wanted one thing, while quietly holding on to the very habits that keep it out of reach? Most of us have. We say we want peace and then overcommit. We say we want joy but promise ourselves we'll feel it later. This episode releases during a rare stretch of the year, and I want to walk into it with you. Then we turn it inward. Where in your life are you saying one thing and living another? This is a space free of judgment, only honesty and kindness, and the chance to choose again. Because just because you cannot see the change yet does not mean nothing is moving.   Referenced in this episode: NASA's August 2026 skywatching guide:  https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/whats-up-august-2026-skywatching-tips-from-nasa/ NASA's eclipse information:  https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/total-solar-eclipse-on-august-12-2026/ Six-planet observing guide:  https://starwalk.space/en/news/planetary-alignment-august-12-2026   Resources Mentioned: Get your FREE Lion's Gate Intentional Energy Reset Guide: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/lion Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

After a week of executive coaching tools, reflections, and strategies, Mallory closes out this series with one of the most important foundations of sustainable growth: consciousness. In this episode of What The Fundraising, Mallory explores how increasing awareness of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can help fundraisers move from stress-based reactions into more intentional, empowered action. Many fundraisers spend their days in response mode—reacting to challenges, uncertainty, donor behavior, and endless priorities. Mallory shares how executive coaching helps create more space between what happens and how we respond, allowing us to make decisions from a place of clarity instead of fear, stress, or automatic patterns. Listeners will learn how to build daily and weekly consciousness practices, give themselves grace while changing old habits, and embrace growth without perfectionism. This episode is a reminder that transformation does not require a complete overhaul—it happens one degree at a time. In this episode, you will be able to: Understand the role consciousness plays in fundraising success. Recognize when you are operating from stress responses. Create habits that increase awareness and intentionality. Shift from reactive fundraising to proactive decision-making. Practice self-compassion while building new skills. Move away from perfectionism in your growth journey. Use curiosity instead of criticism when reflecting on your actions. Embrace small, consistent changes that create lasting transformation.

Success grows stronger when faith, health, relationships, business, and finances are all moving in the same direction.In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Ken Joslin, Founder and CEO of Grow Stack Drive, who shares his journey from youth ministry and church planting to real estate, entrepreneurship, and coaching high-performing faith-based entrepreneurs. He also explains why faith, health, and relationships must come before business and finances, how mindset and wisdom shape leadership, and why proximity to the right people can be a powerful catalyst for growth.Key Takeaways:→ Grow Stack Drive was created to support high-performing faith-based entrepreneurs through coaching, community, and leadership development.→ The Core Five Framework focuses on faith, health, relationships, business, and finances.→ Mindset alignment matters because big dreams can stall when limiting beliefs drive decision-making.→ Relationships are central to growth because the right people often unlock the next level of opportunity.→ Intentional relationships can serve as a cheat code for growth in life and business.Ken Joslin is a former pastor, top-producing real estate broker, and serial entrepreneur. He's the visionary behind the Grow Stack Drive movement, the CREATE Conference, and the As The Leader Grows podcast. Ken has coached and spoken with thousands of leaders, but his greatest calling is helping people clarify their God-given identity and build the life and business they were born to lead.Connect With Ken:Website: https://growstackdrive.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kenjoslin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realkenjoslinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-joslin-86812b197/
