Our prayer is that you will build your life on the unshakable truth of Jesus and remain steadfast no matter what comes.

Welcome to the Summer Conversations, a short series of podcasts in which I welcome a guest who brings their own topic of interest and we have a chat. The recordings are done in under one hour, barely edited, and released without fanfare.Episode 4: Finding Your Table — Building a Gaming Club That LastsHow do you grow a tabletop community from twenty strangers into seventy-one paying members with two regular game nights? Brian McKay joins Che to share how the Northside Adventure Gamers Association in Brisbane pulled it off — incorporating as a nonprofit, securing a permanent home in a state school library, and running tables across everything from D&D 5e to Cthulhu to Dungeon Crawl Classics. Plus: managing player flow between tables, keeping table identities intact, and why finding your own space changes everything about how people show up at the game. This one's for anyone who's dreamed of building more than just a campaign — this is about building a home for other players too.Big thanks to Brian for coming on the show!NAGA Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/NorthsideAdventureGamersNAGA Public listing of games: https://public.naga.net.au/NAGA website to log in and book games: https://login.naga.net.au/index.php#Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:roleplayrescue@pm.meBlogroleplayrescue.com Bluesky Social:https://bsky.app/profile/ubiquitousrat.bsky.socialLogo and artwork by MJ Hiblen:https://www.patreon.com/MJHiblenART/ Hosted on Acast.

What does disciple-making actually look like once people begin showing up?In the final episode of this conversation, Ralph Moore, John Honold, and Ken Makuakane move from vision to practice. They discuss launching Hope Chapel Kealapono, why the church's Hawaiian name was reimagined around the biblical idea of being "the fragrance of Christ," and what it means to create churches that equip people rather than keep them dependent.The conversation is filled with practical stories, from mentoring younger believers through messy relationships to why Ralph believes ministry should produce disciple-makers, not spectators. They also challenge some of the routines many churches take for granted, including why opening and closing every gathering with a ritual prayer can unintentionally diminish the life of prayer itself.If the first two episodes ask whether God is doing something new, this episode asks the next question: What kind of church will be ready when He does?

Training is not successful because we covered the material.It is successful when people remember what they learned, make sense of it, and actually do something differently afterward.Katrina Kennedy returns to Lessons from Learning Leaders for a conversation about what trainers can do inside the learning experience to make that more likely.Katrina describes herself as an accidental trainer. She entered learning and development because a manager noticed she could communicate, then built a career spanning nearly three decades helping subject matter experts, facilitators, and trainers design and deliver better learning.A major focus of our conversation is reflection, but Katrina makes an important distinction between reflection, retrieval, and the traditional review that trainers often use.A review usually means the trainer repeats the important points.Retrieval makes the learner do the work of pulling the information back out of memory.Reflection then asks the learner to move forward with it.What does this mean for me?What am I going to do?How will I apply this when I return to work?That distinction led us into a conversation about one of my favorite Bob Pike activities, Give One, Get One. Participants retrieve the most important ideas from the session, get up and share them with other people, add useful ideas they hear, and then return to their seats.After talking with Katrina, I realized the activity needed one more step: ask participants to choose one of those ideas and identify exactly how they are going to use it.Now the activity combines retrieval, reflection, movement, social learning, and application.Katrina also shares some of the thinking behind her upcoming ATD Core 4 session, “Your Training Is Missing This and You Don't Even Know It.”She has created a 16-card diagnostic that helps trainers examine whether important elements of effective learning are missing from their sessions. Some of the questions are deceptively simple:Do participants move?Do they have opportunities to reflect?Are they given breaks from cognitive load?Are they connecting with one another?The point is not to add activities simply to make training more entertaining. Each element serves a learning purpose.Movement can help reset attention. Reflection gives people time to process what they have learned. Retrieval strengthens memory. Connection allows participants to learn from the experience already present in the room.That last point led us somewhere I think trainers sometimes overlook.When participants interact with each other during training, we may be creating value that extends beyond the course itself.Someone discovers that a colleague has expertise they did not know about. A relationship develops. Months later, when a problem appears on the job, that participant now knows someone they can call.Training can strengthen the informal network inside an organization while it develops individual capability.We also talk about doing this virtually. Connection does not disappear simply because the training happens through a screen. Chat, breakout rooms, questions, introductions, and opportunities for participants to contribute can all make a webinar feel more like a learning experience and less like watching someone talk through slides.Underlying the entire conversation is a larger challenge for our profession.Too much training is still judged by whether people attended, completed the course, or enjoyed the experience. Those measures may be useful, but they do not tell us whether people changed their behavior or whether organizational performance improved.If learning and development wants to be viewed as an investment rather than an expense, trainers have to think beyond delivery.We need to create the conditions that help learning survive after participants leave the room.That means giving people time to retrieve, reflect, connect, practice, and decide what they are going to do next.Katrina's Book: Learning That LastsKatrina is also the author of Learning That Lasts: Reflection Activities for Trainers and Designers, a practical collection of more than 45 reflection activities designed to help trainers intentionally build reflection into learning before, during, and after the session. Katrina organizes the activities around eight outcomes, including stronger motivation, connection, memory, critical thinking, and improved performance.Get Learning That Lasts on AmazonConnect with Katrina KennedyYou can learn more about Katrina's work, workshops, resources, and newsletter at her website.Visit KatrinaKennedy.comYou can also connect with Katrina on LinkedIn.Connect with Katrina Kennedy on LinkedInBring This Conversation to Your OrganizationIf this episode has you thinking about what happens between delivering information and actually changing performance, that is a conversation worth having with your training team.Better learning does not necessarily require more content. Sometimes it means creating more opportunities for people to retrieve what they know, reflect on what it means, learn from one another, and leave with a clear idea of what they will do differently.If you would like help creating learning experiences that produce more participation, stronger transfer, and better performance, I'd be glad to talk.Learn more at DuaneLester.com.Share this episode with a trainer, facilitator, or learning leader who wants to create learning that lasts, and subscribe to Lessons from Learning Leaders so you don't miss the next conversation.

DUCKS UNLIMITED NATION TRIP AUCTION!What if saving one species could help protect entire ecosystems and ways of life?Recorded at Ducks Unlimited's 89th National Convention, host Jimbo Robinson sits down with renowned National Geographic photographer Carlton Ward Jr. for a conversation about storytelling, wildlife conservation, and the connections between people, landscapes, and the species that depend on them.Carlton shares how a career that began documenting wildlife in Africa eventually led him back home to Florida, where he became one of the leading voices behind the Florida Wildlife Corridor movement. The discussion explores the role of photography in conservation, the importance of connected habitat, and how species like the Florida panther help tell a larger story about preserving working lands, watersheds, and wildlife for future generations.Along the way, Carlton explains how storytelling helped inspire real conservation policy, why private land conservation matters, and how hunters, landowners, and conservationists can work together to protect landscapes at scale.Topics CoveredCarlton Ward Jr.'s path into conservation photographyThe Florida Wildlife Corridor projectWildlife corridors and habitat connectivityHow photography can influence conservation policyThe story behind Path of the PantherFlorida panthers, bears, and landscape conservationPrivate land conservation and conservation easementsLessons for hunters and conservationists nationwideListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Ever worry about what other people will think when you start changing?Ever let someone else's opinion make you question your goals or the choices you're making?Ever feel like failure means you should stop trying?In this episode, we break down what it actually takes to build discipline that lasts, and why it has much less to do with motivation than you think.You'll learn how to have better conversations with the people around you, stop taking their reactions personally, and stay committed to your choices even when other people don't understand them.We'll also talk about why failure isn't a reason to quit, but simply part of the process of becoming the person you want to be.Because discipline isn't about never struggling.It's about continuing to do what matters, even when it's uncomfortable.

Go see a counselor. Go to a grief group. Then his son died, and David Kessler had to take his own advice. It took him three tries to walk through the door. Traffic. No parking. This shouldn't be happening to me. He finally sat down with other parents who had buried their children. On the table sat books about grief. His books. He couldn't be the author in that room. He had to be the father who lost a son. Denial came. So did acceptance. But acceptance felt like a floor, not a way through. So he went back to Viktor Frankl and found the thing that cracked it open.

What can actually hold your life together?We spend a lot of time building on things that feel secure—our beliefs, our accomplishments, our certainty, even our opinions. But Jesus asked a different question: What kind of foundation will still be standing when the storms come?This week, we explored the apostle John's simple but profound declaration: "God is love." After decades of walking with Jesus and reflecting on everything he had seen, John came to believe that those three words are the foundation for understanding God, reading Scripture, and living faithfully.Because the strongest foundation isn't found in having all the right answers.It's found in learning to build your life on the love of God.Chapters00:00 Intro00:22 Four Gospels, Four Beginnings01:38 In the Beginning Was the Word03:12 John Looks Back07:50 God Is Love12:00 Belief or Trust?13:23 The Problem with Defining Christianity by Beliefs Alone16:14 A Hermeneutic of Love23:18 Building on Bedrock27:48 The Foundation That Lasts30:16 Communion: Embodying the Love of ChristKey TakeawaysJohn's understanding of God was formed by walking closely with Jesus."God is love" is the foundation for interpreting Scripture and understanding reality.Christianity is about becoming more than simply believing.Jesus consistently invited people to trust him and follow him before asking for certainty.Love requires humility, growth, and the willingness to keep learning.The strongest lives are built on the bedrock of God's love, not merely on having the right beliefs.Scripture ReferencesJohn 1:1–141 John 1:1–41 John 4:7–21Matthew 5–7Matthew 7:24–27

I am happy to welcome Brenda Tassava Medina, CVPM, CVJ, MVLCE to the show today! Brenda is the president of Encore Veterinary Consulting, and she comes on the show to help me explore how the CVPM credential creates opportunities for veterinary leaders in both corporate and private practice, and she shares her own journey to earning the designation, why it transformed her confidence as a leader, and how it continues to open doors throughout her career. We also talk about why pursuing a CVPM isn't just about adding letters after your name; it's about strengthening the knowledge and skills that help you lead with purpose! Our conversation centers on the unique advantages corporate practice managers have when they can spend less time buried in bookkeeping and more time analyzing financials, building action plans, and supporting hospital growth. Brenda and I discuss how understanding key performance indicators, working with financial experts, and presenting thoughtful business cases can help managers advocate for the resources that their teams need and how, whether you're requesting additional staff, new equipment, or operational changes, preparation and financial insight can make so much difference! We also spend some time discussing communication and why transparency is one of the most valuable leadership tools that a good manager can have. Brenda offers some practical advice on becoming the connection between corporate leadership and your hospital team by understanding the "why" behind decisions and communicating that purpose with confidence. The two of us also discuss how strong relationships with medical directors, proactive conversations with corporate leaders, and consistent professionalism help build trust throughout an organization. Brenda and I also reflect on the similarities between corporate and private practice, reminding listeners that while the environments might look different, great leadership principles remain the same. No matter where you work, earning your CVPM strengthens your ability to think strategically, advocate for your team, and grow as a leader, soif you have ever wondered whether the credential is worth the investment, then this episode is one that you definitely do not want to miss!

Sure, those first few days hum with possibility, routines feel fresh, and your classroom culture system is a well-oiled machine—at least on the outside. But blink, and it's week three. Suddenly every teaching prep is pulling you in five directions, lesson plans are cobbled together at midnight, and classroom culture quietly slips to the bottom of your overflowing list. If you're searching for classroom culture teacher planning that lasts all year, you're not alone.The biggest mistake? Losing sight of the systems that made your classroom sing in September. Host Khristen Massic pulls back the curtain on why the first week feels so doable—even for multi-prep teachers. The secret isn't fancy new activities but reusing the same structures that build trust and clarity with every class, every period. When Unit 1 lands and the grind sets in, too many teachers drop the repeatable frameworks that worked so well, scrambling instead for fresh ideas just to keep up.But what actually builds classroom culture? It's not the parade of icebreakers or one-and-done activities. It's putting simple routines on repeat: Think-Write-Pair-Share, community check-ins, “The Way I Learn” surveys. Khristen Massic lays it bare—students don't crave endless novelty. They crave predictability, routine, and the safety of knowing what's next. A classroom where the structure is automatic lets students focus their energy on learning rather than logistics.Take Think-Write-Pair-Share, for example. In week one, it breaks the ice; by week four, it's a go-to for concept explanations; come week twelve, students move through it with almost zero direction. The routine becomes invisible, freeing up student brainpower to actually grapple with your content. As Khristen says, “the thinking changes, the routine doesn't”—and that's the whole point.Here's the pivot: the best classroom routines aren't first-week tricks; they're yearlong lifelines. Reflection activities, learning surveys, even that community-building prompt—they don't get shoved in a drawer after September. They evolve and repeat, morphing into mid-year check-ins or unit-close reflections. The more you build on what's already working, the less you scramble, and the more your students feel that elusive comfort and belonging.This approach is gold for secondary teachers, especially those teaching multiple preps. Planning lighter means working smarter, not harder. Instead of constantly dreaming up the next cool idea, Khristen challenges teachers to ask: how can I repurpose something students already know? Can this discussion structure anchor the next tough unit? Can this community activity pop up again as a November reset? Suddenly, lesson planning isn't a midnight monster; it's a sustainable, even enjoyable, rhythm.It's for every teacher who dreads seeing classroom culture fizzle by October. It's for the veteran who wants real work life balance, and the newbie fighting burnout before Halloween. If you want your secondary classroom to feel safe, vibrant, and consistent—without drowning under reinvention—this episode will flip your script.Throughout this series, Khristen has been on a mission: show teachers how to ditch one-off activities in favor of resilient frameworks. It's not about crafting perfect first days. It's about building systems that stick, routines that support you and your students, and the confidence to keep hitting “repeat” on what works—even in week twenty.So, what will you carry forward? Which structure could save your sanity and strengthen your classroom culture all year? That answer might be the most important planning decision you make.You want a classroom that feels like a second home for your students and for you—keep your best routines on heavy rotation. Ditch the innovation hamster wheel, and make tomorrow a little lighter.Own your classroom, year-round. Rebels build systems that last.

In today's episode, I sit down with basketball legend Sue Bird, one of the most accomplished players in the history of the game, to talk about the mindset behind sustained success. We discuss how family expectations shaped her work ethic, why winning becomes an addiction built on daily habits, and the balance between individual achievement and putting the team first. Sue also shares her perspective on authenticity, the confidence that comes from living openly, and how her definition of legacy has evolved from collecting championships to mentoring the next generation of players. It's a conversation about excellence, purpose, and growth beyond the game.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Motivation is exciting... but discipline is what creates a lifetime of impact! In this week's episode, Dr. Fred explores why the most successful chiropractors don't rely on fleeting bursts of inspiration, they build daily disciplines that carry them through every season of practice. As energy rises and falls, emotions fluctuate, and challenges inevitably appear, it's the habits you commit to, not the feelings you chase, that determine your long-term success. Dr. Fred also revisits his M.O.T.I.E.S. framework, connecting spinal misalignment, altered frequency, inflammation, and the body's ability to adapt. He challenges doctors to think beyond symptom care and recommit to objective analysis, consistent practice, and a philosophy centered on restoring function rather than chasing pain. Whether you're riding the highs of practice growth or navigating a season that feels slower than you'd like, this episode is a reminder that greatness isn't built in moments of motivation, it's built in the daily decisions no one else sees. "You have to create the mental equivalent every single day!" - Dr. Fred Weekly ACT-I-ON Challenge This week, focus on discipline instead of emotion. Choose one daily ritual that reinforces the doctor you're becoming, whether it's reading your affirmations, pulling your Four Card Monday cards, practicing gratitude, or spending five uninterrupted minutes visualizing your ideal practice. Don't wait until you feel motivated. Build the habits that keep you moving forward on the days you don't. That's where lasting growth begins.   Keep Charging!

Mix faith with the Word

Two veteran gym owners talk honestly about what it really takes to keep a gym and a coaching career alive for 14 years. They get into trust, business evolution, and helping real people stay healthy without chasing elite performance.Episode SummaryAdam Lane sits down with Houston gym owner Tommy Allen of District H to talk about what actually keeps a gym and its people around for more than a decade. They walk through the shift from early CrossFit days to a more thoughtful model that uses one-on-one, semi-private, and small group training so clients can stay happy, healthy, and strong through different seasons of life.Tommy shares the thinking behind his two books: one as a straightforward field guide to help everyday people choose the right path for their health, and another aimed at coaches who want a real profession instead of burning out at $25 a class. Along the way, they get honest about trust, cancellations, money, and why “more” isn't always better—for clients, for coaches, or for owners.You'll Learn:Why some gyms are still standing 14 years later while others disappear.How the trust problem in the fitness industry was created—and what it takes to rebuild it.The simple outcomes most adults really want: look good, feel good, move well, and say yes to important things.Why elite performance shouldn't be the default goal, and what sustainable training can look like instead.How District H uses 1:1, semi-private, and small group training as different on-ramps depending on someone's starting point.The purpose of Tommy's first book as a bias-free roadmap to help people choose the right kind of training and support.Why so many coaches leave the industry within two years, and the economic changes needed to make coaching a real career.The soft skills that separate a professional coach from a good programmer: communication, leadership, and guiding hard decisions.How to handle cancellations and “click to cancel” with curiosity instead of defensiveness.What “winning” looks like for an owner-coach with kids, multiple businesses, and a body that needs to last.Episode Chapters00:00 Welcome and intro to Tommy Allen00:41 Gym ownership, heat, HVAC, and surviving 14 years02:08 Tommy's path from finance into gym ownership06:28 Watching CrossFit and local gyms evolve over a decade09:36 The idea behind Tommy's first book as a field guide for health10:51 Trust issues, refunding, and the “click to cancel” reality14:06 What District H actually offers and who each track is for19:48 Turning coaching into a real profession, not a burnout job33:02 How Tommy trains now as a dad, owner, and business builder38:16 Teaching clients to adjust training to life's seasonsResources MentionedAlex Hormozi – entrepreneur, Acquisition.comStu Brower – “become a student of the industry”Chad Hobbs – The Factory / The Athlete Factory (Bloomington, IL)Dave Rubin – gym owner with a similar modelCompanies / ConceptsAcquisition.comHYROX-style events as an outlet for performanceOPEX – coach developmentActive Life – rehab-informed coaching educationFitAid – referenced jokingly as a typical coach “perk”Connect with Coach TommyWebsite: https://districthsf.com/personnel/tommy-allen/Instagram: @district_h_strengthAbout the PodcastWelcome to the Happy, Healthy, Strong Podcast — hosted by Adam Lane.

A new study from Turkish researchers reveals that WiFi exposure during pregnancy causes thyroid damage in offspring that persists for at least one full year after birth. In this episode, I walk through a groundbreaking long-term study that exposed pregnant rats to two point four five gigahertz radiation -- the same frequency your WiFi router uses -- and then examined their offspring's thyroid glands a full year later. The findings show significant structural damage, increased cell death, and DNA breaks that didn't heal over time. This challenges the assumption that prenatal EMF effects are temporary. In This Episode How prenatal WiFi exposure affects thyroid development long-term The specific biological changes researchers found one year after birth Why the developing thyroid is particularly vulnerable to radiofrequency radiation Practical steps pregnant women can take to reduce exposure Featured Study Read the full study: One-year follow-up of thyroid status in rats exposed to 2.45 Ghz radiofrequency radiation during the prenatal period See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

What if what you call self-sabotage is really your nervous system doing what it learned to keep you safe? In episode 272 of Joy Found Here, somatic healing practitioner Lori Montry explains why mindset and willpower alone can't create lasting change, and why the body must be part of the process. Drawing on her own journey out of high-achieving overwhelm, she introduces her Freedom Formula and makes the case that real transformation starts with safety, not discipline.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:12) Welcome to Joy Found Here and Introducing Lori Montry(05:12) From Harvard Law to Burnout: Lori's Early Adaptations(09:29) What Somatic Coaching Really Means(16:36) Naming Self-Sabotage in Real Life(19:11) The Adapted Self vs. The Expansive Self(25:06) Inside the Book: You're Not the Problem(28:28) Building Safety Through Small Daily Practices(38:48) The Freedom Formula: Three Phases of Change(44:00) Trusting the Body and Surrendering Control(47:28) Where to Find Lori and Get the BookLori Montry is a somatic healing practitioner and author of You're Not the Problem: End the Overwhelm, Restore Energy, and Make Progress that Lasts. She's also the creator of the Freedom Formula, a nervous-system-based framework that helps people move out of survival mode and into lives that reflect who they are. Before this work, Lori earned her law degree from Harvard Law School and spent years in high-achievement environments that looked successful from the outside while she privately struggled with chronic stress, emotional eating, and anxiety. Her approach blends nervous system science, somatic practices, and mindset work to help people see their patterns as adaptations that once kept them safe, not personal brokenness.In this episode, Lori Montry explains why lasting change requires working with the body and nervous system, not just the mind, since old stress patterns get stored physically and outlast talk therapy or willpower alone. She introduces the "adapted self" versus the "expansive self," framing self-sabotage as a protective pattern rather than a failing, and describes building safety with these parts instead of fighting them. Lori also outlines her three-phase Freedom Formula — nervous-system safety, uncovering authentic identity, and building an aligned life — emphasizing small, consistent practices over big overhauls, and shares how her reading circle community helps readers actually integrate the book's ideas.Connect with Lori Montry: WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeThe Nervous System Self-Discovery QuizBook: Lori Montry - You're Not the ProblemLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever wondered how some writers manage to stay in the game for decades while others burn out after one book? If you've been feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure if you can sustain this writing journey, this episode is for you. What You'll Discover in This Episode Kathi Lipp sits down with longtime friend and fellow author Susy Flory to explore the secrets behind building a writing career that lasts. With combined decades of publishing experience, these two Gen X writers get real about the challenges of staying creative, motivated, and connected in an industry that can feel isolating. Four Keys to Writing Longevity Get Writing Friends: Discover why having a cohort of fellow writers is essential for surviving rejection, gaining perspective, and staying encouraged when the writing life gets hard. Pursue Deep Teaching: Learn why committing to one significant learning experience each year—whether a book, course, conference, or mentorship—keeps your craft sharp and your ideas fresh. Always Think About Your Next Project: Find out how to keep ideas percolating even while you're 50 feet deep in your current book, and hear Susy Flory's practical system for tracking and developing new concepts. Feed Your Imagination: Explore surprising places where creative ideas strike—including church!—and learn how to create a life culture dedicated to creativity and inspiration. Why Community Matters Both Kathi and Susy emphasize that writing doesn't have to be a solitary pursuit. Whether it's commiserating over rejection, sharpening each other's ideas, or simply being around creative people who "get it," having a writing community can make the difference between quitting and thriving. Key Takeaways for Your Writing Journey Rejection is normal—it's just part of the writing life, and having friends who understand makes it bearable. Being "aspirational" isn't a criticism—it's essential for growth as a writer. Your competitive side can push you forward if you harness it humbly and learn from others. Capture your ideas when lightning strikes—keep tools handy because you won't remember later. Speaking your ideas out loud to safe people gives them air and helps them breathe. Whether you're wrapping up your first book or your fifteenth, this conversation will encourage you to keep going, keep learning, and keep creating alongside others who share your passion for words.

Why do we start things? Sure, starting a recipe, workout plan, or new job is fun to post about on Instagram. But we start things because the real goal is to finish. And not just finish, but finish well.This week, Rob Seddon digs into the story of Abel and shows us how finishing well starts with putting first things first.

Why settle for temporary freedom when Jesus offers freedom that lasts? In this message, Joel Holm walks through Judges 3 and shows how forgetting God leads us back into bondage, while remembering our Savior, fully repenting, and trusting our true Deliverer leads to lasting freedom.

Saint Paul reminds us that the Church is God's building, founded on Jesus Christ alone, and that each of us is called to build our lives with materials that will endure. Drawing on St. John Chrysostom's homilies on this reading, this sermon explores how small acts of faithfulness—or neglect—shape the kind of people we are becoming. God's goal is not merely that we obey His commandments, but that, stone by stone, we become His holy temple, a dwelling place for His presence. Enjoy the show! --- Gold or Straw? Building a Life That Lasts I Corinthians 3:9-17 In today's Epistle, Saint Paul gives us two images. First, he says that we are God's building. Then he says something even more astonishing: we are God's temple. Those two images belong together. Buildings are not assembled all at once. They are built stone by stone, beam by beam, choice by choice. That is the Christian life. Notice that St. Paul does not say, "You are Paul's building," or "You are Apollos's building." He says, "You are God's building." Paul planted. Apollos watered. Others continued the work. But the Church belongs to God. That means the Church was never meant to gather around personalities, no matter how charismatic, convincing, or popular. It gathers around Christ. Then St. Paul says something even stronger: "No one can lay any other foundation than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." Chrysostom piles image upon image from Scripture. Christ is the Head, and we are the Body. Christ is the Vine, and we are the branches. Christ is the Bridegroom, and we are the Bride. Christ is the Foundation, and we are the building. Every one of those images teaches the same thing: there can be no gap between Christ and us. Because he is remembered as such a great theologian, it is easy to forget that St. John Chrysostom was also a pastor who understood the daily struggles of his flock. In his homily on this Epistle, he shares a piece of deeply practical wisdom. We often think the greatest danger comes from great sins, but he warns us about little ones. Going back to the image of the building, a tiny crack in a wall becomes a collapsing building. A small tear in a garment becomes a ruined cloak. A branch cut off only a little while from the vine quickly withers. Small acts of neglect, if ignored, soon become great ones. That is why the spiritual life requires attention—not because God is keeping score, but because love is either growing or shrinking. Then Paul changes the image. Now he says every one of us is building with different materials. Some build with gold, silver, and precious stones. Others build with wood, hay, and straw. What does that mean? Chrysostom says he is talking about the life we build. Some habits endure forever—we carry both them and their fruits into the age to come. Others prove empty. They cannot withstand the testing fire. Patience, mercy, faithfulness, prayer, and truthfulness become like gold. Resentment, vanity, bitterness, and self-indulgence are straw. They may seem substantial now, but they cannot sustain us in this life, and they have no place in the life of the Kingdom. That raises an important question: what are we building today? Because we are always building something. Every conversation, every decision, every act of forgiveness, every refusal to forgive, every prayer, every excuse, every generous act, every selfish act—another stone is being laid, or another bundle of straw. Finally, Paul says, "Do you not know that you are God's temple?" Notice the progression. We begin as a building. We end as a temple. God is not constructing a monument. He is preparing a dwelling place. His purpose is not merely that we behave better. His purpose is that He Himself may dwell within us. That is why holiness matters—not because God needs better rule-keepers, but because God desires a home in the human heart. And that changes everything. We do not practice patience simply because patience is a rule. We practice patience because it prepares the heart to receive Christ. We forgive because resentment has no place in God's temple. We pray because prayer is how the living God is welcomed into His temple. We come to church week after week because God is still building us—stone by stone, prayer by prayer, act of repentance by act of repentance—until the building truly becomes what it was always intended to be: the dwelling place of the living God.

Building an audience is one thing. Building a community that keeps showing up year after year is something else entirely. Mike Potter has spent two decades growing the For Mac Eyes Only podcast and the last ten years turning those listeners into the thriving community behind MacStock Conference & Expo. In this conversation, he shares the lessons he's learned from creating an event people genuinely want to return to.Mike explains why the best communities are built around shared experiences instead of endless content, how unplanned hallway conversations often become the most valuable part of an event, and why authenticity matters more than chasing someone else's engagement strategy. Whether you're dreaming about hosting your first meetup or creating a stronger connection with your audience online, you'll come away with practical ideas for building something that lasts.Key Points:Start small. Meetups and mastermind groups can grow into thriving communities over time.Design events around connection, not just presentations. The "hallway track" often creates the biggest impact.Give people space between sessions so conversations can happen naturally.Traditions and recurring rituals help transform attendees into returning community members.Partnerships create stronger long-term relationships than traditional sponsorships.Perfection isn't the goal. Great communities remember the experience, not the small things that went wrong.Invite passionate people to share what they care about most instead of assigning topics.Stay true to your own communication style instead of copying someone else's community strategy.Resources:MacStock Conference & Expo: Website | Youtube | MastodonFor Mac Eyes Only: Website | YouTube | MastodonZac Brown: Website | Podcast ----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15CreatorNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—the set of episodes I personally return to the most when I'm stuck and need something true to lean on. This one with Ryan Holiday is high on that list. I've gone back to it multiple times this year alone. Ryan is a legend—author, media strategist, New York Times bestselling writer, and the person who brought Stoic philosophy into popular culture for a generation of creatives and entrepreneurs. This conversation is from 2017, before he'd fully hit the stride we know him for now. He'd already published something like six books in five years. He was already a force. And yet you can hear, in this episode, exactly where his work was headed. What stands out isn't just marketing tactics. It's framing. Good marketing isn't only writing good copy or taking a nice product photo. It's making work that starts a discussion. It's asking better questions before you begin. And it's using your own mindset—perception, action, will—to keep going when the creative path gets hard. Those tools were spot on then. They're truer now. Nobody cares what you're thinking about doing. Talk about your ideas after you've started them and then show people what you've done. Summer School: Ryan Holiday on Stoicism, Marketing, and Creating Work That Lasts Ryan dropped out of college at 19 to work with Robert Greene, became director of marketing at American Apparel, and later built Brass Check, advising clients like Google, Tim Ferriss, and Tony Robbins. Then he did something that looked, on paper, like career suicide: he wrote Trust Me, I'm Lying—a book about how marketers, companies, and politicians manufacture and manipulate attention online. Instead of burning his marketing career down, it opened writing as a profession. He began identifying as a writer first—keeping a hand in marketing so he wouldn't only comment from the sidelines. That tension runs through the whole episode: how information spreads, what it means to compete for attention, and how to build work that doesn't disappear after the launch week. At the center is Perennial Seller—the art of making and marketing work that lasts. Not the fidget-spinner hit. Not the trend piece. The Original Pantry Cafe that never closes. The book that sells more copies year after year because it solves a real problem. The boot that gets better the longer you wear it. If you're a creator, entrepreneur, or leader trying to make something that matters—and survive the noise long enough for it to land—this episode is still one of the sharpest in the archive. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why Ryan left New York for a cattle ranch outside Austin—and how distance, physical work, and humility made him better at the cerebral work How Trust Me, I'm Lying mapped the attention economy years before "fake news" became a daily phrase Why modern marketing is less about perfect product shots and more about starting conversations A practical crash course in Stoicism: perception, action, and will Ego vs. confidence—and how to market without marketing to yourself Austin Kleon's line: you can't be the noun without doing the verb What makes a perennial seller—and why industries obsess over "new" while most of their money comes from what lasts The "other 50%": craft gets you in the door; packaging, positioning, relationships, and community finish the race Two questions before every project: Who is this for? What does this do for them? Three Stoic Disciplines for Creatives Ryan's version of Stoicism is deliberately practical. Not academic debate—the art of living. Philosophy for the role you're already in: photographer, founder, writer, leader. He walks through three disciplines: 1. Perception How do you look at the situation? Someone is rude. Your company is in trouble. Your work isn't getting seen. Do you decide it's unfair, impossible, purely negative—or do you look for what you can actually use? The Stoics' move: there's no inherent good or bad—there's how we look at things. We don't control most of what happens to us. We do control the last crucial part: what we tell ourselves it means. Marcus Aurelius did that work through writing—Meditations as a private practice of catching your own mind in the act. 2. Action Seeing differently isn't enough. What do you do with the information? Ryan's favorite cut: Casey Neistat telling someone pitching a business idea, essentially—don't tell me the idea. Tell me when you've started it, then show me what you've made. Thinking about running a marathon doesn't count. Starting does. This is the discipline that kills the fantasy. Ideas are cheap. Execution is the only proof. 3. Will How do you handle the moments when life kicks your ass and you can't reverse them? Ryan tells the Edison story: factory on fire, son shell-shocked, Edison telling him to get his mother—she'll never see a fire like this again. Even what you can't control can still transform you. Hardship is often the filter that keeps everyone who doesn't want it as badly as you do from finishing. If it were easy, there'd be more amateurs—and less value. Perennial Seller (and the Other 50%) The face-palm insight behind Perennial Seller: the New York Times bestseller list doesn't track perennial sellers—yet a huge share of publishing income comes from books that came out years or decades ago. Industry attention chases "new." Durable value often lives elsewhere. Ryan's frame for durable work is almost annoyingly clear: This is a blank that does blank for blank. Who is it for—really? Not "everyone" or "smart people." Actual humans. Where they live. What they do. What does it do for them? His editor's line: it's not what a book is—it's what a book does. Then comes Chase's "other 50%," which Ryan amplifies: making the thing is a marathon. Finishing it doesn't mean you've won. There's a second marathon waiting—marketing, packaging, relationships, platform, the bridge from your desk into someone else's life. "If you build it, they will come" has killed a lot of great work. You're not just competing with peers who launched this week. You're competing with time-tested work that already lives on Netflix, in bookstores, in cultural memory. Title, cover, logo, copy, collaborators—these aren't afterthoughts. They're part of the creative expression. Books have covers because people judge them. Your work does too. And if you're already hunting for shortcuts before you've started? That's a signal. Principles over formulas. The shortcuts get exploited the moment they work for everyone. Timecodes So You Can Jump Around 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is part of Summer School 04:52 – Ryan Holiday joins; life on a ranch outside Austin 09:14 – From renegade marketer to writer: Trust Me, I'm Lying and how attention spreads 15:05 – Why marketing today means starting a discussion 16:58 – Stoicism as a practical art of living 21:54 – Discipline one: perception 25:34 – Discipline two: action (start it, then show it) 28:47 – Discipline three: will (Edison's fire and transforming hardship) 31:36 – Ego vs. confidence; marketing without marketing to yourself 37:01 – Fall in love with the verb, not the noun 40:14 – Perennial Seller: the art of making work that lasts 47:08 – "This is a blank that does blank for blank" 51:07 – Habits of people who make great work (editors, collaborators, objectivity) 54:47 – The other 50%: craft plus packaging, relationships, and community 01:04:35 – Frameworks: Who is this for? What does this do? 01:19:05 – Daily Stoic, memento mori, and closing thoughts Why This Conversation Still Matters In 2017, Ryan was already describing an attention landscape where your best work competes with cats, outrage, porn, fake news, and infinite other options in the feed. That landscape didn't calm down. It accelerated. What still cuts through is the opposite of trend-chasing: work built on timeless problems, principles that survive platform changes, and the humility to keep doing the verb while everyone else celebrates the noun. When I'm stuck—when the world feels noisy and my own next project feels either too precious or too thin—I come back to this episode for the same reminders: Control how you see it. Take action. Let the hard parts transform you. Ask who it's for and what it does. Don't confuse finishing the making with finishing the work. Fall in love with the craft more than the identity. And don't wait until you feel safe to do the honest version of the thing. That's why it's Summer School material. The platforms changed. The books multiplied. The stakes got louder. The questions held. Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work That Lasts The Obstacle Is the Way Ego Is the Enemy Trust Me, I'm Lying Daily Stoic: dailystoic.com Ryan online: ryanholiday.net Follow Ryan: Website | X/Twitter | Facebook Questions to Reflect On Am I still stuck in "thinking about" the project—or have I started something I can show? Where am I treating a hard situation as a verdict, instead of as information I can act on? Am I marketing to an audience—or marketing to myself? Have I fallen in love with the noun (author, founder, photographer) more than the verb? If I had to fill in "This is a ___ that does ___ for ___," could I do it clearly—today? Where have I finished the making and abandoned the second marathon: positioning, packaging, relationships, community? Am I building on timeless problems—or on platforms and tactics that may not survive the next cycle? The Core Idea Work that lasts isn't the work that wins the news cycle. It's the work that keeps solving something real for someone specific—long after the launch adrenaline fades. Ryan's invitation in this conversation is both simple and demanding: sharpen your perception, take action before you announce, let difficulty refine you, kill the ego that wants applause without evidence, and build for durability instead of novelty. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Make something that starts a conversation—and lasts long enough to deserve one.

Somewhere inside a mountain in the West Texas desert, a clock is being built to keep time for ten thousand years. All mechanical. Wound by whoever makes the day-long hike to reach it. Designed so it´s chimes never ring the same sequence twice. Zander Rose has spent nearly thirty years building it. He grew up in a junkyard on the Sausalito waterfront – boat builders, artists, an activist mother who went on to become mayor, and a flea market every Sunday where he and his father took machines apart to see how they worked. Before the clock he was making combat robots that won six world titles, fast machines built to win in seconds. Then he gave half his working life to the slowest object on earth. What he's really after isn't the engineering. It's a question I keep coming back to: Are we being good ancestors – and what would we build differently if we believed the future was watching? In this conversation we get into where that question came from, what it's like to design for someone who won't be born for thousands of years, and what the world's oldest organisations – a hotel run by the same family since the eighth century, temples older than most nations – know about lasting that the rest of us have forgotten. It will leave you thinking about being a good ancestor and building things to last. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trust the future. Build it room to think. Don't take options away from the people who come after you. The forest you don't cut down, the river you keep, the law written simply enough that the next generation can reinterpret it – that's the work. The conditions you grow up in aren't just backstory, they're training. A junkyard, a boatyard, a poor area – these aren't obstacles to a creative life, they're live laboratories. The places you learned to improvise quietly decide what feels possible to you now. Competition doesn't have to mean scarcity or shame. Other people's excellence can become raw material for your own growth, not evidence that you should stop. BEST MOMENTS “Look at what you're making this week and ask who it's really for. Then ask whether you're adding options to the world, or quietly removing them.” “Trust the future. Build it room to think.” “I was only interested in building something that was the first of its kind. I had zero interest in building another one of anything.” “Fail fast is definitely the fastest way to learn.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://rosefutures.com https://longnow.org HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

What if clinging to your vision is holding your practice back, not propelling it forward?In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain with Dr. Anthony Do, who shares an unfiltered look at the messy middle between opening the doors and building a practice that lasts. Moving from Southern California to Texas, Dr. Do discovered quickly that behind every high-performing dental office are hard choices, failed systems, and invisible pressure that most never see. He's here to challenge the myth that dentistry is a smooth ride, unpacking the painful lessons he learned trying to scale alone while carrying the weight of his vision on his shoulders.As Dr. Do unpacks pivotal moments in his journey, he explains why building a loyal inner circle is far more valuable than any system because real alignment starts with matching heart and intent, not just following policies. He speaks candidly about hitting milestones that felt hollow, learning humility through six-figure mistakes, and evolving from chasing social media benchmarks to embracing a mindset that values presence over legacy. Dr. Do also shares practical insights, like investing significantly in staff and culture (even at the expense of margins) and offers a blueprint for creating true leadership within your team. If you've ever felt isolated as a practice owner, this episode will give you both the encouragement and the blueprint to let go, build trust, and find peace in the long game.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The biggest myth about owning a dental practice and why reality is messierWhy systems and policies fail without true team alignmentThe value of building a loyal “inner circle” (and what happens if you don't)How chasing industry benchmarks can leave owners empty and unfulfilledHard-earned lessons from $400,000 in business mistakesWhy humility and peace come from personal setbacks, not advice alonePractical ways to invest in people and culture (even if it means less profit)Steps to create clear, values-driven leadership in any practiceHow weekly and quarterly audits create clarity and transparencyThe mindset shift from chasing legacy to embracing the journeyListen now for an honest, empowering conversation that will change how you lead your practice and yourself!‍Sponsors:‍CallRail: Call tracking + AI that turns calls into campaigns that convert, quality patients, and cost savings.

Throwback to one of my favorite conversations! That "spark" you're chasing? It might not be attraction… it might be a trauma response. I sat down with Dr. Scott Lyons to break down the difference between real, sustainable chemistry and what he calls the "trauma tingle,” that hyper-magnetic pull toward someone that actually has more to do with old wounds than genuine connection. We get into why the honeymoon-phase spark always fades (it's biochemistry, not a sign something's wrong), why "getting the spark back" might be the wrong goal entirely, and how to build the kind of attraction that actually deepens over time instead of burning out. If you've ever wondered whether you're in love or just chasing something familiar, this one's for you.
