Tonight on Mormonism Live, Bill Reel and Radio Free Mormon take a deep dive into one of the most talked-about Mormon history stories in recent memory: the recent leaking of the William Clayton journals. For years, the full Clayton journals have been a source of speculation, controversy, and anticipation. William Clayton was not a peripheral observer. He was in the inner circle of Joseph Smith's Nauvoo world, served as Joseph's clerk, recorded the revelation that became Doctrine and Covenants 132, and left behind some of the most important firsthand records tied to plural marriage, temple theology, and the secret inner workings of early Mormonism. Now that these journals have surfaced, new claims are being made—especially by Jeremy Hoop—that the journals do not support the traditional historical case for Joseph Smith's polygamy. Is that true? Did the leaked journals undercut the standard narrative? Or do they, when read carefully and in context, actually reinforce what historians have been saying for decades? In this episode, we walk through the controversy from the beginning:How Jeremy Hoop got access to the journalsWhat exactly was leaked and what still remains unpublishedWhether the journals really contain “nothing” that supports Joseph Smith's polygamyThe entries that matter most and what they appear to showWhat else we found in the journals beyond polygamy, including material that sheds light on Nauvoo power structures, private teachings, and the inner world of Joseph Smith's closest associates We'll separate rumor from evidence, examine the strongest entries for ourselves, and ask the bigger question: if the William Clayton journals are as important as many have believed, what do they actually reveal once you stop letting other people tell you what's in them? If you care about Joseph Smith, polygamy, Mormon truth claims, historical transparency, and how narratives are built and defended inside Mormonism, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

What does success look like for you? We have so many people defining how to be successful that we need to pause and define it for ourselves. How to be successful. Is it defined, in your mind, by a bigger house, a bigger car, and a bigger bank account? This is how traditional success is typically defined. But for the work from home and homeschool mom, how to be successful looks completely different. The Instagram reels will try to tell us success looks like six figures, or a homestead, or perfect sourdough bread. But that also doesn't work for work from home and homeschool moms. It is time to go outside of the box and define how to be successful on our own terms. We need a definition that fits real life, not a polished fantasy. Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/how-to-be-successful/ Grab your guide today!

Return to the Lake Cabin Sanctuary for a peaceful summer evening by the fire beneath a star-filled sky. As the lake laps gently against the shore, I share treasured journal entries about the beloved pets who changed the course of my life in unexpected ways. Reflect on these heartwarming memories before retreating to the cozy cabin loft and drifting into a deep, healing sleep.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince are back in a pre-recorded episode packed with substance. Nearly two thirds of American men are overweight or obese, but for the first time in 50 years obesity rates have ticked down. Is it MAHA, peptides, or just economic stress cutting back the Cheez-It budget? RFK sends a formal letter demanding answers from a medical journal that quietly removed a study linking vaccines to SIDS, and Big Pharma's media allies are furious that someone had the audacity to ask why. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul keep pressing on COVID shot injuries while legacy media stays conspicuously silent. Nineteen medical schools just signed a nutrition education pledge requiring 40 hours of training as a graduation standard. The US lost 140,000 farms and 20 million acres between 2017 and 2022, and Jordan has thoughts about developers, HOA lawns, and the slow death of the American farmer. And finally, a new full body imaging machine using ultrasonic waves scans you head to toe in 60 seconds with no radiation. Imagine a $30 full body scan. Jordan is already imagining it.

You get asked some version of “can I pick your brain?” all the time.Sometimes it's direct. Sometimes it's a networking meeting that becomes a free consulting advisory session. Sometimes it's a discovery call that was never really a discovery call. Sometimes it's a "quick question" text from a past client.Sometimes it's a former colleague who wants to become an independent consultant.And you say yes. Because you want to be helpful. Because it feels rude not to. Because you think it could turn into something.These yeses add up. And not just in time. But in unexpected ways too.In this episode, Melisa Liberman - Breaks down the two types of pick-your-brain requests that cost independent consultants. - The important identity shift a successful business owner makes re: the “pick your brain” requests.- The PYB Protocol for deciding in advance what you will say yes to, and what to do in the meetings when you decide to take them.- Turning Pick Your Brain sessions into paid engagements.If you have been saying yes by default and feeling the cost of it, this episode gives you a system for triaging all the pick your brain requests that come across your desk.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Why pick-your-brain requests cost more than you think[00:03] Companion resource: Grow Your Consulting Business, Chapter 16[00:04] The two “Pick Your Brain” buckets[00:10] The less obvious cost of saying yes [00:15] How a successful business owner thinks about this differently[00:19] The PYB Protocol: deciding in advance, not in the moment[00:22] Filtering requests: the questions to ask before you say yes[00:24] What yes looks like and how to structure the conversation[00:26] How to say no without brushing people off[00:28] If you take the meeting: go in expecting something real[00:31] How to transition from pick-your-brain to a next step[00:32] Three steps to put this into actionResources Mentioned:Grow Your Consulting Business Book and Toolkit, Chapter 16. www.melisaliberman.com/bookFull Show Notes: https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-275Want More?Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisalibermanGet Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/bookVisit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisa-libermanWant help achieving your consulting business goals?

Der Wald stirbt. Das hören wir seit Jahrzehnten – erst das Waldsterben der 80er, heute Dürre, Borkenkäfer, absterbende Fichten. Und irgendwie schwingt dabei immer dieselbe Botschaft mit: Der Mensch ist schuld. Der Mensch zerstört. Ohne den Menschen wäre alles besser. Aber ist das wirklich so einfach? Naturschutz bedeutet für viele: Früher war alles besser, früher war der Mensch nicht involviert, und jetzt ist er ein reiner Störfaktor für die Ökosysteme. Ist das wirklich so, oder ist es vielleicht eine nostalgische Erzählung? In dieser Folge geht es um unsere Rolle im Ökosystem Wald, um die Frage, warum wir die Bäume im Wald so emotional verteidigen und ob wir den Wald damit tatsächlich schützen oder nur ein Bild von unserem Fantasiewald konservieren.Protagonisten:Prof. Henrik Hartmann – Forstwissenschaftler, Professor für Waldschutz an der Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Leiter des Instituts für Waldschutz, Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI)Ihr wollt tiefer ins Thema eintauchen?:Artikel von MDR Wissen "Wir machen Wald!"Themenheft des Journals für Kulturpflanzen mit Beiträgen internationaler Forschender zum Thema "Waldschutz im Klimawandel"Tipps aus der ARD Mediathek:"Unsere Wälder" – Staffel 1 "Past Forward: Wann stirbt der deutsche Wald?"

In this episode, I take the Soulcruzer podcast out of the studio and into the fields.What starts as an experiment in mobile podcasting/vlogging turns into a wandering meditation on labels, blogging, AI, morning rituals, and the strange abundance of media tools we now carry in our pockets.- Why I still think of myself as a blogger first- Podcasting, vodcasting, and the pressure to become “multimodal”- The problem with labels: “When you label me, you negate me”- soulcruzer.com as the central hub/home on the internet- Wisdom Walks as thinking time- Walking, motion, and changing perspective- The “barefoot philosopher” approach to everyday philosophy- AI as an extension of cognition rather than just a productivity tool- The “soft cyborg” and the library of Alexandria in your pocket- Morning reality tunnels and the sacred space before breakfast- Coffee, barefoot grounding, and choosing what enters your mind first- Indie blogging, platforms, Substack, distribution, and the open web- Why these episodes may stay loose, minimally edited, and stream-of-consciousness

 Following their removal from Samuel Bateman's FLDS offshoot, the rescued minors were interviewed by trained forensic specialists. They disclosed nothing verbally about the conduct documented in the case. Their journals — recovered during the FBI's execution of search warrants — contained detailed accounts: dates, descriptions, and names, recorded in their own handwriting. The dissociation between written and verbal disclosure represents a specific clinical phenomenon in cases involving prolonged coercive control during childhood development.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, with more than thirty years of experience in forensic mental health, domestic violence, and coercive control, examines the psychological mechanisms at work. Bateman's "atonement ceremonies" — group acts conducted under the framework of divine commandment — functioned to normalize harm within a closed belief system. The behavioral presentations visible in documentary footage that viewers have interpreted as voluntary participation reflect clinical indicators of conditioned compliance, not choice. Eight minors went willingly with Bateman's wives when they were removed from foster care — a fact that demonstrates the depth of the psychological infrastructure Bateman had constructed.The co-defendants' cases present an unresolved moral and legal question. The women convicted of facilitating harm to children were themselves raised within the FLDS system, married off as teenagers, and conditioned from birth within the same coercive framework they subsequently perpetuated. Scott and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke examine whether the legal system's binary framework can adequately address individuals who are simultaneously perpetrators and products of the same system.The investigative timeline preceding the FBI's intervention compounds the case's complexity. Christine Marie provided footage to local law enforcement repeatedly. The responding sergeant reportedly found the material credible but declined to act. The Short Creek community had normalized practices that constituted criminal conduct for decades. The recording that precipitated federal action came in late 2021: Bateman's own voice describing the transfer of wives to his male followers, including a minor. Christine subsequently facilitated the cooperation of Julia Johnson, a mother whose four daughters had been placed with Bateman, and assisted in physically removing the girls to enable the federal operation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You're good at what you do. Your clients know it. The people who refer you know it.But your next ideal consulting client may have no idea you exist.That's the gap between being credible and becoming sought after.In this episode, Melisa Liberman shows independent consultants how to make lead generation easier by building an inbound lead system that helps more right-fit clients find you, trust you, and reach out already interested.You'll learn how to move beyond relying only on referrals, past clients, and inconsistent outreach by becoming more recognizable for the specific consulting work you want to be hired for.Melisa breaks down the three components of an inbound lead system for independent consultants:The inbound foundation: the specialization that makes you known for a specific problem, client, or outcomeThe sought-after mindset: the shift from hidden expert to obvious choiceThe inbound lead mechanism: the system that builds visibility, grows your audience, creates direct relationships, and keeps you top of mindYou'll also hear Melisa's own specialization example as a fractional COO for PE-backed tech startups, plus three real consultant examples using a podcast, speaking, and unattached networking to generate more right-fit opportunities.Listen to learn how to build visibility, differentiation, and demand in your consulting business, so lead generation gets easier the longer you do it.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Episode overview[00:05] Why becoming sought after changes everything[00:07] The 3-part inbound lead system[00:08] Component 1: Inbound Foundation[00:09] Two specialization blockers[00:15] The In-N-Out Burger specialization example[00:18] Fractional CRO example for PE-backed tech[00:22] Component 2: Sought-After Mindset[00:28] Component 3: Inbound Lead Mechanism[00:32] Podcast + diagnostics example[00:33] Speaking + white paper example[00:35] Unattached networking example[00:37] Next stepsResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Lead Generation Effectiveness Scorecard: www.pipelinescorecard.comFull Show Notes https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-274Want More?Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisalibermanGet Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/bookVisit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisa-libermanWant help achieving your consulting business goals?

In this episode, I'm joined by philosopher, grief educator, and author Tom Attig for a thoughtful conversation about grief, meaning, and the mysteries of being human.Tom helped create the world's first PhD program in applied philosophy and has spent decades exploring the questions that can't be neatly solved — questions about love, suffering, death, impermanence, and uncertainty. Together, we explore why grief is not a series of stages to complete, but rather a lifelong process of “relearning the world.”We talk about what it means to continue loving and missing those we've lost, the importance of remembrance and legacy, and why our culture's discomfort with death often leaves grieving people feeling isolated. Tom also shares his perspective on spirituality beyond religion, the difference between soul and spirit, and how humility and curiosity can help us navigate life's biggest mysteries.This conversation is a gentle reminder that some things are not meant to be solved — only lived, loved, and carried with usWhat Applied Philosophy MeansProblems vs MysteriesLiving With ImpermanenceTeaching Death and DyingRelearning the World After LossGrief Takes a LifetimeContinuing Love and LegacyLove in SeparationWhen the World Goes SilentLetting Go of PainEmotions Need UnderstandingReconnecting With the LivingA Mother's Journals of MemoryHonoring Without DistortingFriends Who Walk AwaySoul Versus SpiritMeaning Beyond AttachmentReligion And SpiritualityDoes Consciousness SurviveAccepting ImpermanenceImagining The AfterlifePsychedelics And MysteryBelief Without ViolenceSchweitzer And CommunionWisdom From LossFriends And GratitudeVisit Thomas's website________NEW PODCAST!

Most independent consultants think differentiation means a sharper niche, a cleaner methodology, or better positioning.It doesn't.The consultants landing more work aren't winning because of their pitch or their network.They're winning before the proposal gets written.If you're like most consultants, you think the real evaluation happens when you submit the proposal. It doesn't. Buyers are already deciding in the conversation, before a scope ever gets drafted.In this episode, Melisa breaks down what consulting buyers are actually weighing when they choose which consultant or consulting firm to engage.You'll learn- the mistake most consultants make about differentiation, - how corporate buyers actually decide who to engage, and - four specific ways to use your consulting skills inside the sales process so buyers choose you first.The proposal is a formality.The decision happens long before that.You already have the skills (even if you don't realize it). This episode shows you how to use them before a proposal ever gets drafted.  Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:01] Why clients choose certain consultants over others and what prompted this episode[00:03] Why responsiveness is a baseline and what actually sets you apart beyond that[00:05] Companion resource: the consulting proposal template from the IC Toolkit[00:06] The mistake consultants make when thinking about differentiation[00:10] How B2B buyers actually decide who to engage[00:13] Why the proposal is a formality and what wins the work before it[00:15] Example 1: The stakeholder question and why it helps the buyer, not just you[00:18] Example 2: The restraint advantage and why showing everything you can do often loses the work[00:23] Example 3: The success clarity test and how to find the real reason a buyer needs you[00:27] Example 4: Process ownership and how to lead the decision instead of following the buyer's lead[00:31] Steps to put this episode into actionResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Download the Consulting Proposal Template from Melisa's IC Toolkit: www.ICtoolkit.comFull Show Notes https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-273Want More?Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisalibermanGet Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/bookVisit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisa-libermanWant help achieving your consulting business goals?

When you think about your revenue goal for this year, what's the first thought that runs through your head?For most independent consultants it's some version of "I hope I can make it happen" or "I'm trying to make it happen."If you're like most of us, you don't even know you're thinking it.It's subconscious.And it's the reason your consulting business keeps plateauing, even when your strategy, your offers, and your effort all look right on paper.In this episode, Melisa walks through the three belief stages every independent consultant operates from.Doubtful. Hopeful. Inevitable.You'll hear what each one sounds like in your own head, the impact each one has on your pipeline and pricing, and how to tell which stage you're in right now.You'll also hear three real examples.Sarah, who set a 500K goal from a hopeful place and got herself to a 625K run rate once she stopped asking her business to prove it was possible first.Colin, who replaced a referral-dependent pipeline with speaking and three conversations a week. Same work, different headspace.And Amy, who shifted from day rates to value-based pricing in ten minutes a day.If you've been telling yourself you need a better strategy, you should listen to this one first.The strategy isn't the ceiling.The way you're thinking about your goal is.What you will learn in this episode:[00:05] - The first thought that reveals how you are approaching your consulting goals[02:00] - What separates consultants who hit their numbers from those who stay stuck[03:05] - Companion resource: Business Brain Journal[05:00] - The three belief stages: doubtful, hopeful, and inevitable[07:00] - How doubtful thinking creates inconsistent revenue and watered-down action[09:30] - Why hopeful thinking still creates consulting business plateaus[11:45] - What an inevitability mindset sounds like[13:00] - How to identify your belief stage across goals, sales, pipeline, and pricing[16:30] - Goal setting example: turning a $500K goal into consistent $50K months[22:30] - Pipeline example: moving from word-of-mouth dependency to lead generation ownership[26:00] - Pricing example: raising rates and moving toward value-based pricing[31:00] - The inevitability test for independent consultants[34:30] - How to add inevitability thinking into your business owner routineTune in to Episode 272 for a practical look at how to make success inevitable as an independent consultant, so you can stop operating from hope and start building from certainty.Resources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Check out Melisa's Business Brain JournalFull Show Noteshttps://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-272Want More?• Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisaliberman• Get Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/book• Visit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/ • Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisa-libermanWant help achieving your consulting business goals?

In this episode, host Kathleen Brandt answers listener questions focused on three high-impact genealogy sources that can quickly break through stubborn brick walls: Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) records, Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land grants, and Ireland's newly free 1926 census.Kathleen explains where to search, what clues researchers often miss, and how to connect these records to broader family stories involving migration, military service, inheritance, and identity.In This Episode, You'll Learn Why CCC records are valuable for Depression-era genealogy research  How Revolutionary War bounty land files extend far beyond the first certificate  What makes the 1926 Irish Census important for Irish family history  How supporting records reveal widows, heirs, migration patterns, and community ties  Why original files often contain clues omitted from abstracts and indexes Topics Covered Civilian Conservation Corps records and Depression-era family research  CCC applications and clues about parents, schooling, work history, and migration  Researching CCC records through newspapers, local societies, state archives, and National Park Service collections  Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land digitization  Common mistakes in bounty land research  Warrants, surveys, plat maps, patents, tax lists, deeds, probate, and wills  Why abstract books are not enough for complete genealogy research  Ireland's free 1926 Census and Irish genealogy research  Linking Irish census records to passenger lists, naturalization records, and church documents Episode Discussion & Key MomentsKathleen walks listeners through three record groups that frequently contain overlooked genealogical evidence. The episode begins with CCC records, explaining how applications and related files reveal personal details about family structure, education, employment, and migration during the Great Depression.The conversation then shifts to Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land grants, where Kathleen explains why researchers should never stop at the initial certificate. Supporting documents—including surveys, deeds, probate files, and tax lists—often identify widows, heirs, neighbors, and land relationships that deepen family reconstruction.Finally, Kathleen explores the release of Ireland's 1926 Census, discussing how researchers can connect census findings with U.S. immigration records, naturalization paperwork, and church records to build more complete Irish family histories.Key questions examined include: What records are researchers most likely to overlook?  Why do original files matter more than abstracts?  How can one record group lead to multiple generations of evidence? Resources & Research Tools MentionedNational Archives of Ireland 1926 Census Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) applications and records  Newspapers and local historical societies  State archives and National Park Service collections  Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land records  Plat maps, tax lists, deeds, probate, and wills  Ireland's 1926 Census  Passenger lists, naturalization records, and church registers Why This Episode MattersMany genealogy breakthroughs come from looking beyond indexes and pulling the full record set surrounding an ancestor. This episode demonstrates how layered research across military, land, labor, and immigration records creates stronger and more accurate family histories.About the PodcastHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping listeners navigate historical records, research challenges, and overlooked sources to uncover deeper family stories.Support the showBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks  for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

Why isn't your independent consulting business consistently generating $500K per year?It's not the economy. It's not because the market is getting more saturated with consultants. It's not because AI is replacing your expertise. And it's not because you're not good at business development.If it's not these things, what is it?In her work with independent consultants, Melisa consistently sees 5 themes that prevent consultants from consistently generating 500k (and beyond).In this episode, Melisa breaks down the five hidden blockers that keep independent consultants stuck below the $500K revenue mark.You'll learn why your current revenue ceiling is not random.This is not a generic “scale your business” conversation. It is a practical diagnostic for independent consultants who want to make $500K their new revenue baseline, not a lucky year they hope to repeat.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Why your consulting business is not at $500K yet[02:10] The companion resource to assess your consulting business health[03:20] Why the real blockers are not the market, competition, or AI[04:35] Reason 1: You do not fully believe $500K is possible for you[12:10] Reason 2: You still identify as your current revenue level[17:40] Reason 3: Your pricing model is not built for $500K[22:15] Reason 4: You are repeating the patterns that created your current ceiling[27:00] Reason 5: You are not prioritizing your own business[31:30] How to identify your biggest $500K blocker and start fixing itResources Mentioned:Companion Resource:Take the Independent Consultant's Business Health Check: https://assessments.melisaliberman.com/consulting-health-assessmentRelated Podcast Episode: Episode 109 - 3 Ways to Make $500k In Your Independent Consulting Business, https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-109 Full Show Noteshttps://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-270Want More?• Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisaliberman• Get Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/book• Visit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/ • Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisa-libermanWant help achieving your consulting business goals?

As James closes his letter, he doesn't give a summary, he gives us a lifestyle.In James 5:13–20, we see that prayer isn't meant to be occasional or reactive… it's meant to shape every part of our lives.In this verse-by-verse teaching, we walk through what it looks like to:Turn to God in both suffering and joyInvite community into our weakness instead of isolatingUnderstand what Scripture really says about healing and prayerExperience freedom through confessionSee how ordinary people can pray powerful prayersRestore those who are drifting with humility and loveThis passage shows us that prayer is not just something we do, it's how we live.If faith is real, it won't just be seen in what we do… it will be revealed in who we turn to.✨ In every season. ✨ In every need. ✨ In every moment.We are invited to turn to God.Loving the podcast?Take a few minutes and let us know by leaving a rating or review so we can keep providing free content to help you.Episode Resources: Shop The Finding Freedom Co.

PIPs have a bad reputation.And usually for good reason. In corporate, a PIP was rarely about improvement. It was a paper trail.But strip away that baggage and the core idea is sound: here's where performance is falling short, here's what good looks like, here's the plan.As an independent consultant, that's exactly what you need. And you're the only one who can give it to yourself.In this episode, Melisa Liberman introduces the PIP Technique: a self-directed performance improvement plan built for independent consultants.You're excellent at delivering the work you sell. But if you're like most consultants, lead gen, sales, follow-up, and business development? Those are a different story.You're underperforming in at least one of these areas. You know it. The question isn't whether you should fix it. It's figuring out which part to fix first.That's what the PIP Technique does. It helps you identify which role in your business is falling short. CEO. CRO. Marketer. Sales development rep. Consultant delivering the work.And then it gives you a structure to actually do something about it.In this episode, you'll learn how to rate your own performance across those roles, choose the highest-impact area to improve, and build a 90-day plan with clear milestones and feedback loops that hold you accountable when the work gets uncomfortable.No one is going to hand you this plan. That's the point.You're the one who sees the gap. You're the one who builds the plan. And this episode shows you exactly how.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] What a PIP is and why independent consultants should use one[05:00] The client story that inspired the PIP Technique[07:35] How the Consultant's Business Health Check helps you find your baseline[09:50] Five reasons a PIP improves consulting business performance[14:10] Why separating yourself from your business changes how you lead[16:05] How to rate yourself as CEO, CRO, CMO, SDR, and consultant[19:00] How to decide which business role needs a PIP[21:15] How to create your PIP from the manager lens[24:45] How to approach your PIP from the employee lens[28:10] Mistakes to avoid when improving your consulting performance[32:00] How to put the PIP Technique into action over the next 90 days                  [34:50] How to create more client conversations starting todayResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Take the Independent Consultant's Business Health Check: www.icassessment.com   Related Podcast Episode: Episode 233 - The Big Leadership Mistake Independent Consultants Make, https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-233 Related Podcast Episode: Episode 234 - The #1 Management Mistake Independent Consultants Make, https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-234/Full Show Noteshttps://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-269Want More?• Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisaliberman• Get Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/book• Visit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/ • Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/Want help achieving your consulting business goals?

What if every time you reached for a packaged snack… you were quietly increasing your risk of a heart attack? In this urgent and deeply personal solo episode, Darin breaks down groundbreaking new research showing that each serving of ultra-processed food may increase cardiovascular risk by over 5%, not over time, but every single time you eat it. This isn't about calories. It's about chemistry, biology, and a system engineered for convenience at the expense of your health.

But the moment you become aware, you reclaim your power. Because the same way those choices can slowly take your health away… different choices, repeated daily, can give it all back."

Last week, we talked about the danger of living like we're in control, making plans without acknowledging God. This week, James takes it a step further.In James 5:1–6, we're confronted with a sobering truth: it's not just our plans that can reflect pride… it's our possessions too.This passage isn't about condemning wealth, it's about exposing hearts that trust in it, cling to it, or use it unjustly. Through strong and vivid language, James reminds us that everything we have is temporary, and we will one day give an account for how we stewarded it and treated others because of it.In this episode, we walk verse by verse through this warning and ask the honest question: What am I doing with what God has given me?If you've ever struggled with comparison, control, or finding security in what you have, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to live with eternity in view.PS: Loving the podcast?Take a few minutes and let us know by leaving a rating or review so we can keep providing free content to help you.Episode Resources: Shop The Finding Freedom Co.
