Explore a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of Jesus' identity: his kingship. Duncan Palmer and Matt Mouzakis dive into the literal meaning of "Christ" (from the Greek Christos) as "King," revealing how modern translations have obscured this powerful concept. Key points: "Christ" literally means "King" in its original context Modern translations often fail to convey this crucial meaning Understanding Jesus as King reshapes our view of his role and authority This perspective challenges our relationship with earthly governments Practical implications for living under Jesus' reign in daily life The discussion highlights how referring to Jesus as "King" more frequently, rather than "Christ," could transform believers' understanding of his role and their allegiance to him. This shift in language and perspective has far-reaching implications for Christian faith and practice. Gain fresh insights into familiar Bible passages and be challenged to reconsider their relationship with Jesus as their true sovereign. This episode promises to be an eye-opening exploration of a foundational, yet frequently misunderstood, aspect of Christian faith.  

That email you've been staring at for twenty minutes, trying to sound "professional" but ending up sounding like a robot?! I've been there. For years, I thought being professional meant hiding my personality behind formal language and corporate-speak. Then I met Elisa, a Sardinian event planner who was completely herself in every interaction... warm, direct, enthusiastic, while running a hugely successful international business. She taught me that authenticity doesn't make you less professional; it makes you more effective. This episode explores how to find that balance between being genuinely yourself and being professional, and why your real voice is actually your greatest business asset.   Key Moments: [03:40] The professional mask we think we need and why formal language often backfires [05:31] My turning point: learning from Elisa Mocci and discovering authentic professionalism [09:21] The cost of hiding behind formality  [10:32] What authentic professionalism actually looks like in practice [13:00] Finding your boundaries: what to share and what to keep private [13:43] Overcoming the fear that authenticity will turn off serious clients [14:58] How dyslexia taught me that vulnerability can become strength [15:48] Why your real voice matters more than ever in an AI-generated world   Notable Quotes: "When you're hiding behind overly formal language, you're not building genuine connections. And business, especially creative business, is fundamentally about relationships." "Your unique voice, your particular way of seeing things, your specific experiences - these are your competitive advantages. When you try to sound like everyone else, you're giving up the very thing that makes you irreplaceable."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Free Persistence Guide:  Thoughtful Persistence: Why Silence Doesn't Mean No Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com   Share Your Insights: I'd love to hear about your experience with finding the balance between authenticity and professionalism.

From the logistical nightmare of charging a million electric cars in urban apartment complexes to the cold reality that most new power plants are being commissioned without cybersecurity in mind, Aaron pulls back the curtain on missed opportunities and potential threats.  Why isn't OT security part of major DOE planning reports? Who's responsible for managing cyber risks in this rapidly evolving landscape? And what's at stake if we don't build security into our systems from day one? If you're in IT, OT, operations, or simply care about keeping the lights on in our data-driven world, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Tune in as Aaron calls for a united front: making cybersecurity a non-negotiable priority in the grid transformation ahead.   Key Moments:  01:12 "Urgent Power Capacity Boost by 2030" 05:21 Electric Car Charging Challenges 08:59 System Vulnerabilities and Design Flaws 10:01 Cybersecurity: Everyone's Responsibility 15:20 Complexity of Grid Black Start Process 18:53 Urgency in Tech and Power Security Connect With Aaron Crow: Website: www.corvosec.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronccrow   Learn more about PrOTect IT All: Email: info@protectitall.co  Website: https://protectitall.co/  X: https://twitter.com/protectitall  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PrOTectITAll  FaceBook:  https://facebook.com/protectitallpodcast    To be a guest or suggest a guest/episode, please email us at info@protectitall.co   Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple   - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/protect-it-all/id1727211124 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1Vvi0euj3rE8xObK0yvYi4The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Aaron Crow, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

That beautiful pitch you sent months ago? The one that never received a response and left you feeling completely rejected? This silence almost never means what you think it means. After two years of rejection from Selfridges, I was told I "wasn't fashionable enough." Instead of giving up, I created fashion-inspired flower arrangements and turned up at their offices. That persistence became the foundation of one of my most important business relationships. Here's what I've learnt about the difference between thoughtful persistence and being pushy, and why your gentle nature is actually your biggest business strength when building a creative business.   Key Moments: [02:30] Why persistence only got 12% of votes despite being what holds people back most [03:58] The story of 20 beautifully crafted cards that received zero responses [05:37] What silence really means (and why our minds jump to rejection) [07:15] My Selfridges story: two years of "no" becoming my most important business relationship [11:44] The truth about creative professionals and why your "too much" probably isn't [12:53] When persistence works and when it becomes problematic  [17:31] The golden rule of follow-up: adding value rather than adding to to-do lists [18:25] Five practical strategies for thoughtful persistence [20:34] About the Free Guide and how it can help you.   Notable Quotes: "Your version of 'rude or pushy or annoying' is probably most people's version of 'thoughtfully persistent.'" "Most of the time, when we think we're hearing 'not ever,' we're actually hearing 'not right now.'"   Resources Mentioned: Free Persistence Guide: Thoughtful Persistence: Why Silence Doesn't Mean No Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com   Share Your Insights: If today's episode gave you the courage to send that follow-up message you've been putting off, I'd love to hear about it.

James opens up about the emotional aftermath of sharing his story with the world, the love, the hate, the healing, and the spiritual wrestle that followed. We talk about fatherhood, men's mental health, navigating grief publicly, and how suffering has shaped his faith and purpose. He shares how his pain has now become a catalyst for writing, for building community, and for stepping into a life of coaching, consulting, and hope.If you're carrying something heavy, this episode is a reminder: you're not alone.James's honesty will challenge you, comfort you, and move you to believe that beauty still rises from the ashes.Key Moments:0:00 The Viral Reel That Changed Everything3:12 Why We Had to Do This Again8:53 Surrendering the Outcome12:33 The Pain Behind the Hate17:26 Finding a Brotherhood in Grief23:42 The Power of Not Being Alone28:26 Holding Space for Both Joy and Sorrow33:13 James's Lifelong Journey Through Suffering36:50 Returning to the Garden42:53 A Vision for Leadership and Wholeness46:04 Reading the Testimony54:28 A Message to the LonelyGuest Info:IG: @‌jamesdykes1987 (https://www.instagram.com/jamesdykes1987/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

Ready for a deep dive into government, violence, and Christian ethics? Patrick Carroll, a seasoned libertarian thinker, is back to dissect the core beliefs of statists, revealing how even well-intentioned government supporters inadvertently endorse violence. This eye-opening conversation challenges listeners to reconsider their views on political power and its compatibility with Christian teachings. Key topics include: The Anatomy of the Statist: Carroll dissects various statist mindsets, from well-intentioned humanitarians to power-hungry megalomaniacs. He argues that despite good intentions, statist thinking ultimately relies on coercion. Taxation as Theft: The conversation dives deep into the libertarian view that taxation isn't just metaphorically similar to theft—it is theft. Carroll explains why this perspective isn't hyperbole but a fundamental ethical stance. The Violence Inherent in Government: The discussion exposes how all government action, at its root, relies on the threat of force. Christian Ethics vs. State Power: Carroll argues that Jesus' teachings on loving neighbors and enemies are fundamentally at odds with governmental coercion. This episode promises to challenge deeply held beliefs about the role of government in society and offers a compelling case for embracing non-violent approaches to social organization. Tune in for an intellectually stimulating conversation that might just change how you view government, freedom, and your role in shaping a more just society.  

That dream you haven't dared say out loud? The one that feels embarrassingly unrealistic? It might be exactly what your creative business needs. I started my flower business delivering bud vases to rural pubs, secretly dreaming of working with luxury brands and venues. That impossible vision didn't make building my business harder, it made everything clearer. When you aim for something extraordinary, project decisions become far more obvious. In this episode we look at how thinking on a scale of 10x instead of 2x can transform everything from your daily choices to the opportunities you attract, and how to hold massive dreams without losing your mind!

You have to completely reimagine what's possible." "The difference between creative entrepreneurs who build extraordinary businesses and those who stay stuck isn't talent, luck, or connections. It's the willingness to envision something so compelling that it pulls them forwards through every obstacle."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Read: 10x is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com   Share Your Insights: What's the dream you haven't dared to say out loud?

Exit to Excellence: How Founders Can Transition with Purpose and Power What if the biggest barrier to a successful business exit isn't market conditions or company valuation, but the founder's inability to imagine life without their business? In this episode, Dr. James Bryant reunites with Jerome Myers, exit strategist and business partner, to explore why 80% of businesses listed for sale never complete their transaction—and why 75% of those who do exit regret their decision. Whether you're an engineering leader building a consultancy, planning your eventual exit, or simply interested in leadership development, this conversation reveals why identity work is just as important as financial planning. Key Moments in the Episode 02:52 – The Sobering Statistics: Only 20% of listed businesses successfully sell, and 75% regret it 05:00 – The Founder's Exit Paradox: How founders become so intertwined with their business that separation feels impossible 15:10 – The Six Centers of Doubt: Where uncertainty hits hardest for exiting business owners 23:00 – Four Post-Exit Archetypes: Victim, hero, villain, or guide—who will you become? 27:14 – The NEXT Framework: Nourish, Evaluate, eXplore, Transcend 39:19 – Dr. Bryant's Story: How his son's near-death experience crystallized his values Jerome's Philosophy: Love vs. Fear Decision Making Core Principle: "Love is the only law. Fear is the opposite of love. When making decisions, we get to pick which emotion drives that decision." The Six Centers of Doubt Framework: Self-Image – Redefining who you are without your business role Relationships – 60%+ of daily relationships will change post-exit Work – What to do with 30-100 hours previously spent on business Health – Reprioritizing wellness in an older body Prosperity – Optimizing time, talent, energy, and treasure (not just money) Significance – Finding meaning through service to others Key Takeaways for Technical Leaders • Identity separation is crucial – Whether transitioning from engineer to leader or founder to post-exit life • Proactive planning beats reactive – Develop your next identity before you need it • Systems thinking applies – Treat major transitions like complex engineering projects • From hero to guide – The most fulfilling path leads to developing others rather than being the main character
