Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines (TSX.V: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV), joins us for a comprehensive exploration update from their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project in Quebec.  We discuss some of the key acquisitions made earlier this year expanding the land package around the NISK Project, as well as their new Jabal Baudan claims over in Saudi Arabia.   Key Highlights from the Interview:   Exploration Strategy: A six-rig program focused on expanding the mineralized around the Lion Zone and at depth, the Tiger Zone, new polymetallic targets from surveys, and still drilling to connect the 5.5km corridor between Lion and NISK Main. High Grade Assays From Summer Drilling: 22.66 meters of 4.57% CuEq, including 6.05 meters of 9.70% CuEq in Hole 020 28.0 meters of 4.28% CuEq, including 3.4 meters of 15.45% CuEq in Hole 015 5.35 Meters of 11.97% Cu (16.35% CuEqRec) in Hole 022 Resource Growth Path: Early-stage modeling efforts are enabling analysts and investors to build their own interpretations of scale, while metallurgical studies are underway to confirm high recovery rates. Acquisition of Li-FT Power land:  Back on July 14, 2025 the Company announced that it closed a definitive agreement dated June 9, 2025 to acquire a 100% interest in 313 mineral claims totalling 167 km² from Li-FT Power Ltd. (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQX: LIFFF). The claims adjoin the Company's 45.86km² Nisk property, where exploration is expanding the high–grade Lion Cu–PGE discovery and the Nisk Copper-Nickel-Platinum-Palladium-Gold-Cobalt deposit.   Terry explains how there are 8 very high priority drill targets that the exploration team is following up on across this newly acquired land. Phase 1 Metallurgical Testing of Lion Deposit:  On Oct. 16th, Power Metallic announced that preliminary metallurgical studies are underway being performed by SGS Canada Ltd at its laboratories based in Quebec City, QC, and Lakefield, ON. Work to date has shown that the copper mineralization is contained within coarse grained chalcopyrite and cubanite, both which should respond well to conventional sulphide concentration methods. Overall, the character of the mineralization suggests good recoveries of copper sulphides, and these initial metallurgical tests will determine the recovery potential of the PGEs, Au, Ag, and Ni., which are expected to report within a conventional sulphide concentrate. Awarded Jabal Baudan Exploration License in Saudi Arabia: Power Metallic announced on June 16th that it was awarded the exploration license for the Jabal Baudan project in Saudi Arabia's Jabal Sayid Mineralized Belt. This historic milestone positions Power Metallic as one of the few foreign companies with mining concessions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having secured a successful bid in this prestigious licensing process. Key Strategic Stakeholders:   Terry highlights that there are high profile backers of the company like Robert Friedland, Rob McEwen, The Stern Family, Palos Capital, and also Terry's family that are keeping a large percentage of the shares in strong hands interested in seeing the longer-term expansion of the mineralization for the company.  * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Power Metallic Mines at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.    Click here to follow the latest news from Power Metallic Mines   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Are you intrigued by the intersection of passion and profit in wine collecting? This Inspired Money episode, hosted by Andy Wang, brings together top minds from wine auctions, investment platforms, and market experts for an eye-opening look at how wine has become a bona fide asset class. Whether you're a seasoned collector, investor, or simply wine-curious, this discussion unpacks strategies to maximize both enjoyment and value. Episodes like this are packed with insights that demystify the fine wine market, reveal what really drives price appreciation, and share hard-earned advice on avoiding costly mistakes. Meet the Expert Panelists Nick Pegna is the Global Head of Wine & Spirits at Sotheby's, bringing over 30 years of international experience in building and leading fine wine businesses across Europe and Asia. Formerly a senior executive at Berry Bros. & Rudd, where he helped shape global markets and co-led Hong Kong's successful campaign to abolish wine duties, Pegna now oversees Sotheby's record-setting global auction and retail operations. https://www.sothebys.com Callum Woodcock is the Founder and CEO of WineFi, a London-based investment platform that combines institutional-grade analytics with expert curation to make fine wine investing more transparent and accessible. A former J.P. Morgan asset manager with degrees from the University of Bristol and the University of Cambridge, he's leading WineFi's mission to position fine wine as a data-driven, tax-efficient, and inflation-resilient asset class. https://www.winefi.co Amanda McCrossin is a sommelier, media personality, and creator of @sommvivant, where her wine-focused content reaches over 450,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Disciplined Bidding at Auctions Nick Pegna reveals why preparation and strategy, including setting a maximum bid and understanding total costs, safeguard buyers against emotional overspending: "The most careful and frequent buyers at auction have a strategy. They've planned what they're looking to bid on...across multiple auctions." 2. Secondary Market Liquidity Drives Investment Value Callum Woodcock emphasizes the importance of focusing on wines with proven resale liquidity, not just brand prestige or critics' scores. Data-driven models and decades of market transaction history are now key to "blue chip" wine selection. 3. Storytelling Fuels Scarcity and Demand Amanda McCrossin illustrates how narrative and personal connection make certain bottles iconic and drive up their market value, citing Napa's Screaming Eagle as a prime example. "Scarcity is really only informed by storytelling...what has made Napa Valley so successful is the storytelling element." 4. Transparency and Technology Are Raising the Bar Robbie Stevens shares Liv-ex's role in fostering trust: from vetting merchants, digitizing provenance, to benchmarking prices. The expansion of data access and seller management tools allows collectors to track market movements and optimize timing for liquidation. Call-to-Action Take a look at one item in your own collection, wine, art, or even another collectible, and think about it like an investor. What makes it valuable? How would you verify its authenticity, track its performance, and decide the right time to sell? Just doing that exercise will give you a new lens for appreciating your investments, and maybe even inspire your next move.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FIFTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.6| WALKING BEFORE GOD, COVENANT, IDENTITY & ETERNAL WITNESS|JESUS WALKING ON WATER| CHIMDI OHAHUNA In this latest episode of the Miracles of Jesus Bible Study series, we continue the spiritual journey from our previous episode, focusing on the divine instruction given to Abraham: “Walk before Me and be thou perfect” (Genesis 17:1). This episode explores how the covenant of God is not merely a promise—it is empowerment. It is the divine enablement to walk in alignment with God's purpose, presence, and identity. Key Highlights from the Study: - Genesis 17:2 — God's covenant and blessing are not passive gifts; they are active empowerment. Abraham was not just called to walk before God—he was equipped to do so.   - Genesis 17:4 — The covenant is built on what each party brings to the table. God initiates and leads, and man responds. The one who proposes the covenant takes responsibility first, setting the tone for the relationship. - Exodus 13:21; John 13:16; John 14:6 — God leads His people from the front, guiding the New Creation through His Word and Spirit. The voice from behind becomes clear to those who continually fellowship with Him. - Identity Shift & Covenant Consciousness    - Genesis 17:4–5; 2 Corinthians 5:17 — A change of name was necessary to awaken covenant consciousness. Abram became Abraham not by ceremony, but by divine reality.    - Proverbs 23:7 — A man's life follows his dominant thought. Until we see ourselves as God sees us, we cannot manifest what He has made us to be. - Living the Name of Christ    - Jeremiah 33:16; 1 Corinthians 12:27 — God gives us identity through Christ Jesus. We are not called to merely live like Christ—we are called to live Christ.    - Our walk before God is a reflection of the name we bear. - Covenant Structure & Eternal Duration    - Genesis 17:6–7 — God defines the parties, recipients, and duration of the covenant. For the New Creation, this covenant is eternal, sealed in the blood of Jesus.    - 1 John 5:8; Amos 3:3, 8; Romans 8:16 — The Spirit, water, and blood stand as witnesses to this divine agreement.    - 1 Corinthians 11:25; Hebrews 12:24 — The location of this covenant is the blood of Jesus, where salvation was eternally secured. This episode is a call to walk consciously, boldly, and faithfully before God—empowered by covenant, shaped by identity, and led by the Spirit and the Word. Whether you're teaching, reflecting, or sharing, this study offers rich insights for every believer seeking to live Christ in fullness. Tune in now on the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast and be strengthened to walk before God with clarity, conviction, and covenant consciousness. Let's journey together.

At 57 years old, I decided to do something I'd spent 30 years in the fitness industry avoiding: I started training to compete in a bodybuilding show. As I've shared this journey, one comment comes up constantly: "I love what you're doing, but I could never do the food part."   This single phrase got me thinking. It's the perfect example of a bigger conversation about freedom. When we say "I could never," we are admitting we are enslaved. The opposite of freedom is slavery, and any addiction—to food, habits, or even negative thoughts—is a chain that makes you feel like you have no choice.   But I've found that the very thing people fear—the strict discipline—is actually the key to breaking those chains.

In this episode, host Alex Greene sits down with Lindsay Wolff, a certified health coach and mentor with the Primal Trust Program. Lindsay shares her powerful journey from experiencing debilitating chronic illness—including chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, and severe pain—to discovering the transformative power of nervous system regulation and somatic practices. After spending nearly a decade navigating the medical system without lasting relief, Lindsay found healing through a comprehensive approach that integrates bottom-up nervous system practices, trauma processing, and reconnection with nature.Lindsay introduces listeners to the Primal Trust framework, explaining how it differs from other brain retraining programs through its three-level curriculum that begins with foundational practices like TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), functional neurology, and breathwork before moving into deeper emotional processing and parts work. She discusses the importance of titrating these practices for sensitive nervous systems, creating safety through gradual exposure, and building capacity over time. The conversation explores how chronic illness often stems from nervous system dysregulation following stress or trauma, and how practices like neurogenic tremoring can help discharge survival energy stored in the body.Join our Upcoming Workshop: December 18, 2025 - Nervous System Regulation for Chronic Pain & Illness with Lindsay Wolff: https://neurogenic-integration.com/product/nervous-system-healing-with-primal-trust-regulation-tools-by-lindsay-wolff/Key Highlights & Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Lindsay 01:00 Primal Trust Overview 03:00 Lindsay's Journey Begins 04:00 Chronic Illness Algorithm 05:00 Health Crash Experience 07:00 Nature's Healing Power 09:00 Discovering TRE Practice 12:00 Body-Mind Connection Awakening 13:00 Primal Trust Explained 15:00 Bottom-Up Practices 18:00 Brain Retraining Fundamentals 21:00 Level Two Work 23:00 Hero's Journey Framework 25:00 Mentorship and Coaching 36:00 Titrating TRE Practice 42:00 Individual vs Group 46:00 Nature Connection Experience 48:00 Emotional Reservoir Concept 53:00 Workshop PreviewResources & Links MentionedPrimal Trust Program: https://www.primaltrust.org/ Dr. Cathleen King (Dr. Cath): https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-cathleen-king-dpt-951b6597 Red Beard Embodiment Podcast with Dr. Cathleen King https://www.redbeardsomatictherapy.com/post/podcast-e29-discovering-primal-trust-ft-dr-cathleen-king Red Beard Somatic Therapy:Instagram: @redbeardsomatictherapyFacebook: @RedBeardSomaticTherapy

Rob Wilson is a performance educator with over twenty years of experience helping people build durable, high-functioning bodies and minds. He joins us on The Ready State Podcast to unpack the uncomfortable truth about performance: it's not free. In this powerful conversation with Kelly and Juliet Starrett, Rob dives into the real price of pushing your limits, why sleep is non-negotiable, and how to reframe “selfish” self-care as the foundation for showing up better in every area of life. Together, they tackle burnout, aging, and what it takes to sustain health and high output in a world that rewards constant hustle.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe three waves of fitness, and why Rob Wilson's book represents the vanguard of the third wave.The problem with the democratization of health metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) if you don't know how to interpret the data or take action.The story behind the "Check Engine Light" metaphor, which helps high performers prioritize what to address and what to ignore.Why the phrase "self-care" often fails with service-oriented and high-performing individuals and the analogy used instead.The "Cobra Effect" or Goodhart's Law, and how chasing a metric like a high HRV can lead to misleading and useless outcomes.How to stop the "medical cascade" and apply an experimental framework (test/retest) to chronic, nagging pain and everyday health issues.The true cost of high performance and the crucial need for a "cost mitigation strategy" to avoid burnout.Why context matters more than perfect protocols, and how to create a personal longevity dashboard for continuous adaptation.For more info, follow Rob on Instagram and definitely pick up a copy of his new book, Check Engine Light: Tuning Your Body and Mind to Achieve Performance Longevity.Key Highlights: (00:00) - Intro(00:48) - Check Engine Light Book Overview(06:49) - Check Engine Light Metaphor Explained(14:06) - Importance of Check Engine Light for Everyone(17:49) - Inputs and Outputs in Life(20:37) - One Size Fits All Approach: Myth or Reality?(25:25) - Identifying What Matters Most to You(27:28) - Performance Costs: Understanding Trade-offs(29:27) - Recommended Supplements for Health(32:55) - LMNT: Importance of Hydration Explained(37:10) - Resistance: Creativity's Universal Challenge(39:48) - Becoming Reasonable: A Personal Journey(45:18) - Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Benefits Explained(47:15) - Using Tracking Devices Mindfully(49:57) - The Cobra Effect: Understanding Consequences(57:55) - Setting Up Environments for Success(1:00:20) - Changes Since Writing the Book(1:03:14) - What's Next for Rob: Future Plans(1:04:30) - Finding Rob: Where to ConnectSponsorsThis episode of The Ready State Podcast is brought to you by LMNT and Momentous.

Are you playing it safe or playing to win?

In today's complex world, we're often taught the skills of management—how to organize tasks, track metrics, and keep things running. But is that enough to truly succeed, lead a team, or build the life you dream of? The hosts of the Personal Mastery Training podcast argue that management falls short. What's truly needed is leadership, and the absolute cornerstone of leadership is belief.   In a compelling episode, they explore why unwavering belief—in yourself, your team, and your vision—is the essential ingredient for navigating chaos, inspiring trust, and turning ambitious goals into reality. Key Highlights from the Discussion   You Were Trained to Manage, But You Need to Lead: Management handles the what and how; leadership inspires the why. True leaders don't just assign tasks; they instill a powerful belief that galvanizes action, especially through tough times. Belief: The Glue of High-Performing Teams: A leader's conviction is contagious. When you genuinely believe in the mission, you build the trust and solidarity necessary for a team to overcome obstacles and achieve collective success. Your belief makes them believe. Self-Esteem is Your Foundation: While confidence can come and go, deep-seated self-esteem is the unwavering belief in your own worth and capability. Cultivate it by acknowledging your past wins and resilience—it's the fuel for authentic leadership. Bring Simplicity to Complexity (I-E-E): Great leaders cut through the noise. They establish a clear Identity(who we are/need to be), provide Evidence through consistent action, and cultivate the right Environment for success. Is Your Environment Killing Your Potential?: Like a giant tree needing specific soil and climate, your potential can only flourish in the right environment. If you're not growing, critically examine your surroundings—the people, culture, and resources. Sometimes the problem isn't you; it's the "pot" you're planted in. Trust the Process: Stop fixating on the distant outcome. As legendary coach Nick Saban said, "Outcomes are a distraction." Focus intensely on executing the daily process required to get there, and the results will follow. Leaders Turn Chaos into Order: Life and business are inherently chaotic. A leader's role is to act like a magnet, using their focused belief and clarity to bring structure, purpose, and direction out of the disorder. The Takeaway Whether you're leading a company, a family, or just yourself towards a significant goal, the journey starts with belief. It's the internal compass that guides you through uncertainty, the energy source that fuels perseverance, and the signal that tells others you're worth following. Stop just managing, and start leading with conviction.    

Janice Cowden, retired nurse and patient advocate, shares her remarkable triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) story. Five years following successful treatment for stage one breast cancer in 2011, Janice was diagnosed with a stage 4 metastatic TNBC recurrence. As of today she has 8 years of no evidence of disease (NED) under her belt. She shares how she stumbled upon the cancer community that inspired her to become the advocate she is today and the uncertainty that comes with NED. She also shares how she copes with losing friends in the cancer community through her patient advocacy work. We also have a rapid fire Q&A where she answers questions surrounding various medical terminologies, diagnoses, and more to keep you in the loop. NOTE: There is one clarification from the rapid fire Q&A session. The definition of disease free survival (DFS) is the time from random assignment (used in clinical trials and research studies to assign participants to different groups) to cancer recurrence or death from any cause (Gutman SI, Piper M, Grant MD, et al. 2013).Key Highlights:1. Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage four breast cancer that has spread to distant sites in the body.2. Finding events and communities centered around cancer not only supports cancer patients emotionally and socially, but can also serve as informational hubs. Being proactive in learning about your diagnosis, whether it's through community and/or research on your own time, can help you feel confident with the choices you make. 3. While finding a community of other cancer patients can help, unfortunately this disease means that you will lose friends you make in these settings. It doesn't necessarily get easier, but finding an outlet to cope with such losses is vital to your wellbeing.About our guest:Diagnosed with Stage IV triple negative breast cancer in 2016, five years after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis, Janice launched into patient advocacy following training through Living Beyond Breast Cancer's (LBBC) Hear My Voice Outreach program in 2017. As a peer-to-peer support and research patient advocate, Janice is passionate about supporting others with metastatic breast cancer, in addition to continually furthering her scientific knowledge base of this disease, treatments, and clinical trials, which she acquires through attending scientific breast cancer conferences and webinars. Janice is involved with several patient-founded and led organizations including PCDI, GRASP, and Project Life MBC. As a trained peer support volunteer, she is founder of an international online peer support group for patients newly diagnosed with MBC. She serves on the Board of Directors for METAvivor Research and Support Inc., and is an Advisory Board member for Project Life MBC. She is an individual member of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance. When she's not busy with advocacy work, Janice enjoys traveling, reading, outdoor activities, and spending time with family, including her husband, two adult children and three grandchildren.Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Picture this: a sunny Sunday morning in Paris. The Louvre is packed with tourists — and then, bam!A group of thieves pulls off a heist so smooth it feels like a movie. They scale the building, smash a window, and in just four minutes, they've stolen priceless jewels from the French Crown Jewels collection.And that got me thinking…Even in a world where everything seems to be taken — peace, time, security — there's one thing no one can steal: what belongs to the King.In this episode, we dive into the Louvre heist and what it teaches us about God's Kingdom — how the treasures of heaven can't be touched, broken, or stolen. Because when your worth is in Christ, no thief can take that from you.

* Life is full of tests—moments designed not to punish, but to reveal what's truly in our hearts. From everyday decisions like patience and humility to major areas like finances and relationships, God's testing us to shape us into who we're called to be. Like Israel before entering the promised land, these seasons of testing are vital for our growth and preparation.In this message, we'll explore the biblical foundation of tests—God's purpose isn't to harm but to develop trust, obedience, and character in us. We'll see how every test serves as a confirmation of what's already inside, and how passing them positions us for blessings and fruitfulness.Key Highlights:* The Purpose of Testing: God tests us to develop patience, humility, and trust—especially when it comes to our finances and priorities.* God's Invitation to Test Him: Malachi 3:10 challenges us to "test" God through tithing—revealing His promise to bless and open the floodgates of heaven.* Understanding Tithing in Perspective: Whether under the law or grace, giving willingly and cheerfully aligns our hearts with God's kingdom.* The True Test of Our Hearts: It's not just about what we know but about what we do—our attitude, obedience, and trust matter most.* Three Critical Areas of the Test: Heart, Stewardship, and Priority. Your financial choices are reflections of what's truly important to you.* Living Open-Handed: Every day is an opportunity to choose generosity over greed, trust over worry, and obedience over hesitation.* Turning Tests into Testimonies: When we trust God, even in tough times, we open the door to His blessings, purpose, and future.This isn't just about money—it's about aligning your entire life with God's plan. It's about trusting His promises, living with purpose, and letting your faith move from belief into action.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Can strategic generosity help you thrive, emotionally and financially? In this Inspired Money episode, host Andy Wang brings together an expert panel to explore how acts of giving don't just change communities, but transform your own sense of purpose, happiness, and financial health. If you believe philanthropy is only “about the money,” this episode will give you a whole new perspective and practical strategies to make your giving more impactful. Whether you're an individual donor, family foundation, finance professional, or nonprofit leader, this is packed with actionable advice—and heart. Meet the Expert Panelists Caroline Fiennes is the Founder and Director of Giving Evidence, an organization that promotes evidence-based charitable giving to ensure donations create measurable impact. A Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University and author of It Ain't What You Give, It's the Way That You Give It, she is recognized globally as a “charmingly disruptive” expert on effective philanthropy and has advised leading donors, companies, and foundations worldwide. www.giving-evidence.com Paul G. Schervish is Professor Emeritus of Sociology and former Director of the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy at Boston College, where he pioneered research on the moral, social, and emotional dimensions of wealth and giving. A Fulbright Scholar and five-time honoree on The NonProfit Times “Power and Influence Top 50,” he has shaped how scholars and practitioners understand philanthropy as both a financial and spiritual endeavor. http://www.bc.edu/cwp Yvonne L.

Building an Impactful Philanthropic Portfolio Caroline discusses why giving should be as strategic as any investment. Rather than random donations, align your charitable “portfolio” with your skills and resources—and verify that you're meeting real needs with evidence-based solutions. She advises, "It's important to think about what you have... Money is the most obvious thing, but there can be other things donors bring as well." 2. The Emotional Rewards of Giving Paul reveals that generosity is deeply connected to happiness and meaning. Drawing on Aristotle's concept of “philia”—friendship love—he explains, “The more you feel the people you are looking to help are actually yourself, or people like those whom you love...the greater is your generosity.” Joy comes from connecting your giving to your deepest values. 3. Values-Driven and Relationship-Centered Giving Yvonne urges donors to engage their families and communities—not just write checks. Impact starts with understanding the problems you're trying to solve, ongoing donor education, and building trust with nonprofits. “Philanthropy is not about wealth, it's about worth and how you understand the worth of other people,” she shares. 4. Technology and Financial Planning Tools for Greater Impact  Stephen demystifies donor advised funds and tax-smart strategies, making giving frictionless and empowering donors to commit more, without financial strain. “We want to put a lot of focus on making the transactional frictionless so the relational can flourish,” he says. From bunching to appreciated stock, financial tools are game changers for modern philanthropists. Call-to-Action Inspired Money Challenge: This week, take one intentional action toward generosity: set up a recurring donation, research a charity before giving, or simply give your time to someone who needs support. Do it with purpose, and notice how it makes you feel. Find the Inspired Money channel on YouTube or listen to Inspired Money in your favorite podcast player.

What happens when a trauma survivor discovers TRE and becomes the practitioner she needed? Alex Greene speaks with Svava Brooks, a TRE practitioner in Reykjavik, Iceland, who has mastered integrating neurogenic tremoring with mindful self-compassion and polyvagal theory. Svava didn't set out to become a provider—she entered the training for her own healing. But what she discovered transformed not only her life but her approach to holding space for others.As a complex trauma survivor in functional freeze, Svava shares practical wisdom from taking "a thousand tiny steps" into social engagement. She reveals why TRE alone wasn't enough—she needed self-compassion practices to befriend her body and build the safe attachment capacity she'd never experienced. She discusses why she teaches the "hand on heart" practice first, how to work with freeze patterns during tremoring, and why going "slower than slow" creates lasting change. Now bringing TRE to every town in Iceland, Svava offers insights on sustainable healing practices, integrating somatic work with other modalities, and creating compassionate containers where bodies feel safe to release.Key Highlights:00:04 - Introduction and Congress Overview 03:10 - Robert Schleip on Fascia 05:29 - Fascia Responds to Stress 08:45 - Fabiana de Silva's Vagal Resets 11:17 - Self-Help Grounding Through Squeezing 12:18 - Gil Hedley's Vagus Dissection 14:01 - Sounding and Vagal Activation 18:06 - Fascia, Consciousness, and Soul 21:28 - Meeting Stephen Porges 25:32 - Traumatic Brain Injury Insights 30:00 - Liza's TRE Presentation Experience 32:51 - 100 People Experience Tremoring 40:00 - Future Congress Plans 42:40 - Sami Yoiking Healing Songs 48:34 - Human Algorithm Workshop PreviewResources Mentioned:ACE Study (Adverse Childhood Experiences Study): https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/s0749-3797(98)00017-8/pdf Polyvagal Theory: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/whatispolyvagaltheory Kristin Neff - Self-Compassion Research: https://self-compassion.org/the-research/ Dr. David Berceli: https://treglobal.org/about-dr-david-berceli/ Svava's Website: https://www.svavabrooks.com/ Find us Online:Neurogenic Integration: https://neurogenic-integration.com/Instagram: @neurogenicintegration

"Work-life balance." The phrase alone can trigger a wave of guilt. We're constantly told we need to achieve this perfect, mythical equilibrium—a state where our career, family, fitness, and hobbies all get an equal, harmonious slice of our time. But what if this entire concept is a trap? In a thought-provoking episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, the hosts argue that the pursuit of a static work-life balance is a myth. Life isn't a perfectly balanced scale; it's a dynamic teeter-totter, always shifting. The real secret to a fulfilling life isn't found in a 50/50 split, but in something far more powerful: being fully present. Key Highlights from the Discussion The Myth of Perfect Balance: Life is never perfectly balanced. Sometimes work will demand more; other times, your family will. Chasing an impossible standard only leads to feeling like you're constantly failing. The goal is not a static state but a fluid, intentional dance. Presence Over Presents: As the classic song "Cat's in the Cradle" warns, being physically present isn't enough. Your family doesn't need you for eight hours a day if you're distracted and stressed. What they need is one hour of your undivided, intentional, phone-free attention. Make the Ordinary Extraordinary: You don't need a grand vacation to create balance. You can find it by turning everyday moments into something special. As host Dr. Charlie shared, a simple act like warming up his son's car on a cold morning becomes an extraordinary expression of love that will be remembered for years. Leverage Your Time: Stop thinking about how much time you have and start thinking about how to leverage it. Pack a single hour with so much connection, fun, and intention that it feels like an entire day. One hour of leveraged quality time is worth more than a week of distracted quantity. Find Passion, Not Obligation: A huge source of imbalance is job dissatisfaction. If you're one of the 80% of people who are disengaged at work, you'll constantly be trying to "escape" it. The solution is to take personal accountability: either find a way to bring passion and excellence to your current role or have the courage to pursue a career you love. The Takeaway Stop chasing the ghost of work-life balance. It doesn't exist. Instead, focus on what's real: the present moment. Whether you're in a meeting, at the dinner table, or at the gym, be there completely. The richest life isn't the most balanced one; it's the one that is most fully lived, one present moment at a time.  

James Franklin got fired — and it's wild how fast people go from calling you a hero to a disappointment.But if we're honest… we've all felt that pressure before.To perform. To prove ourselves. To live up to expectations — whether at work, at home, or even in our faith.And when we fall short? It hurts. Because deep down, we wonder if we've let God down too.But here's the truth: God's plans aren't built on our performance.They're built on His promise.Just like a good coach doesn't throw out the whole playbook after one bad game, God doesn't give up on us when we miss the mark.He's not measuring us by the world's scoreboard — He's shaping us for eternity.In this episode, we talk about what James Franklin's firing reveals about success, failure, and how to trust God when expectations break you.

Most signup pages try to convince users with emotional imagery and persuasive copy. But what if the secret to higher conversions is actually showing people less—not more? In this episode clip, Will Royal, founder and CEO of Promo Tix, reveals how one counterintuitive design change led to an 8% increase in signups. He shares the psychology behind "The Promised Land Effect" and explains why a blurred screenshot of your dashboard can outperform your best marketing copy.

Is the “2030 Depression” really inevitable - or just overhyped? In this continuation of his three-part series, Darryl Lyons, CEO & Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, dives deeper into the predictions surrounding a potential economic downturn and examines the four “vehicles” that could collide to create it: government spending, inflation, demographic trends, and the AI bubble. Building on Part 1's historical parallels, Darryl unpacks how rising national debt, compounding inflation, shrinking birth rates, and market speculation around artificial intelligence are shaping today's financial landscape. Using his “traffic light” analogy, he illustrates how these forces might intersect - and what that could mean for investors and everyday Americans alike. Whether you're concerned about what's ahead or simply trying to separate fact from fear, this episode encourages you to question the doomsday narratives, stay informed, and maintain a long-term perspective grounded in wisdom and clarity.

The Power and Pitfalls of Niche Asset Classes  Paul Moore's perspective on “boring but beautiful” sectors like self-storage and small-bay industrial assets emphasizes their recession resistance and long-term cash flow. He underlines: “A great property can be ruined by a mediocre operator, and a mediocre asset can be saved and prosper under a great asset manager.” This theme of specialized knowledge—versus chasing trends—is critical for sustainable, risk-adjusted returns. 2. Leveraging Data, AI, and Hyperlocal Analysis Neal Bawa demonstrates how real estate investing is being revolutionized by artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. “All of our rent comps are now done by a tool called Manus…We're able to manage our properties better because our weekly reports on asset management are AI-generated,” Neal shares. The key is using tech not just for efficiency, but for smart, precision targeting in investment decisions. 3. Strategic Asset Management—From Landlord to Business Owner Ken emphasizes the essential mindset shift from simply being a landlord to managing properties as scalable businesses. “If the asset is in really, really good shape, it's well capitalized, it's maintained, financially maintained…then it actually helps when you start to exit.” Operational excellence—including robust asset management and leveraging both people and systems—drives sustainable value. 4. Aligning Values and Wealth: Impact Investing in Real Estate  This episode dives into strategies for doing well while doing good. Jay Papasan highlights, “The money is good for the good it can do...wealth is great because we can make great change with it.” Both he and J Scott discuss setting impact goals, engaging community, and integrating purpose into investment models—showing that profitability and purpose aren't mutually exclusive.

We're living in the age of AI—where machines can write, create, think, and even sound human.And if we're honest… it can be a little unsettling.It raises deep questions: What makes us different? What makes us human?But here's the thing: technology might imitate humanity, but it can't be human.Because being human isn't about efficiency, productivity, or even intelligence.It's about love. Sacrifice. Relationship.And that's what the saints show us—what it really means to be fully alive.While the world races to make smarter machines, the saints remind us to become holier humans.In this episode, we explore what artificial intelligence reveals about our own search for meaning—and how the saints show us the kind of humanity worth imitating.

In this 200th-episode special of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO & Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, begins a three-part series exploring why some economists are discussing the potential for a future downturn, and what history can teach us about investor behavior during times of uncertainty.
