Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
When marriage feels tired or transactional, it's time to return to the Source. In this Sunday Recalibration, discover how identity alignment before God creates intimacy that lasts — even when life feels loud and connection feels distant.Most high-capacity couples didn't enter marriage hoping to become roommates. You wanted real connection. Enduring intimacy. A shared rhythm that felt as grounded as it was loving.But over time — especially in the weight of parenting, leadership, and the constant pressure to do more — that intimacy can erode. Not always dramatically. Sometimes, it's just a quiet drifting.And before you know it, you're managing logistics more than connection… showing up out of duty instead of desire.This Sunday Recalibration invites you to remember what marriage was meant to be — not a performance, but a sacred covenant. Not a contract of convenience, but a reflection of God's relational nature.Drawing on Ephesians 5, Genesis 2, the wisdom of Tim Keller and Dan Allender, and her own personal story, Julie Holly shares how vertical identity alignment is the only foundation strong enough to hold a marriage — especially in seasons of weariness, role fatigue, or emotional distance.Inside today's episode: • Why deeper intimacy starts with God, not with marriage work • How Identity-Level Recalibration supports both spiritual and relational repair • Why performance and control block presence — and how to return to truth • A 3-part Micro Recalibration to help you reconnect at the rootThis episode is for every couple craving restoration — and for the high performers quietly carrying relational fatigue behind closed doors. Whether you're faith-filled or simply curious, this is a space where sacred truth meets real-life application.Micro Recalibration:In what ways have I made marriage about performance or control — instead of covenant?Where do I need to return to God with my identity — so I can return to my spouse with grace?What would shift in our intimacy if I saw my spouse as a reflection of God's image — and myself the same?Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

When marriage breaks — through betrayal, burnout, or quiet distance — it's not a tactic that restores intimacy. It's identity. This episode invites you to rebuild from the root and rediscover what still wants to last.What if the intimacy you long for isn't lost — it's just buried beneath years of survival, performance, and quiet fractures no one taught you how to name?In this episode of The Recalibration, we're speaking directly to the high-capacity human who's been holding it all together — at home, at work, in leadership — while quietly wondering: Can this marriage really be healed?Whether you've weathered betrayal or are just living in the slow erosion of connection, today's recalibration reveals the one shift that makes rebuilding intimacy possible. Not strategy. Not more effort. But identity.We'll explore:Why intimacy can't be rebuilt through communication tools aloneHow identity fragmentation shows up in relationships — and what to do about itThe difference between fixing the marriage and becoming someone intimacy can reachWhy high performers default to solutions that work everywhere else — but not hereReal examples of restoration, from public figures to private livesAnd how faith, presence, and identity-level alignment till the soil for trust to grow againWe also anchor this episode in the wisdom of Dan Allender, Phil Stutz, John & Stasi Eldredge, and Chip & Joanna Gaines — showing how intimacy isn't about perfection, but transformation.Whether your marriage is “fine,” flailing, or on fire — this is your reminder that you were made for more. Not just a functional partnership. A sacred one.Today's Micro Recalibration:What parts of myself did I abandon in this marriage — and why?What would rebuilding intimacy look like if I stopped trying to fix the marriage — and started showing up as the truest version of myself?For Couples: Where have we been trying to reconnect without doing the root work?Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

The question every believer must ask: what are you leaving behind?Legacy isn't about fame, followers, or having your name remembered by the masses. It's about the unseen deeds written with Allah - the ones carried out quietly, sincerely, and with intention. From the brother who organized parking at the masjid, to the soldier whose name was never known but whose sacrifice was recorded in Jannah- these are the legacies that matter.This reminder dives deep into what it truly means to make a difference.The Prophet ﷺ said, “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.” Whether in family, work, or community, every believer is a leader.Listen to the podcast to know how small consistent actions, pure intentions, and a refusal to “give up” can transform an ordinary life into one of extraordinary impact. It's a call to build ideas that serve, to use time wisely, and to craft a legacy that echoes into the Hereafter.Join the 4-Day Raise Your Dua Challenge : https://www.raiseyourdua.com/challenge?el=podcast

In this episode, Dr. Leelo Bush explores how to replace fleeting self-confidence with lasting Godfidence. Through scripture, testimony, and coaching stories, she shows how confidence built on God's truth becomes steady, unshakable, and contagious. What You'll Learn Why confidence is not a personality trait but a skill and a choice for believers. The difference between the world's confidence and God-centered confidence. How to replace self-doubt with agreement on God's promises. Daily practices to grow Godfidence. How to impart lasting confidence to others and build a faith-filled community. Quotable Moment “The world's confidence will tell you, ‘You can do it if you believe in yourself.' Godfidence says, ‘You can do it because you believe in Him.'” Scriptures Mentioned Hebrews 10:35 – “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” 1 Samuel 17 – David and Goliath, confidence rooted in God's presence Resources Courses & Certifications at PCCCA – https://pccca.org/courses The Comprehensive Christian Coach Handbook (Amazon link) – https://amzn.to/4mo5ra4 Healing the Grieving Brain Guide – https://griefcoachu.com/healing/ Courageous Christian Coaching Tribe (Facebook group) – https://facebook.com/groups/courageouschristiancoachingtribe Transcript Have you ever walked into a room feeling great about yourself? And then one glance from someone made you shrink inside? Or maybe you've had the opposite happen where something clicked deep inside you and suddenly you felt unstoppable. What if you could have that kind of confidence every single day? The kind that no one and nothing could shake. Today we're talking about exactly that. And I call it Godfidence. If you've ever wished that you could have unshakable, lasting confidence, the kind that doesn't crumble the moment someone gives you a funny look, you're in the right place. Today we're talking about a very specific kind of confidence—God-given confidence. I like to call it Godfidence. I don't remember where it came from, but if it's not in the dictionary, it should be. And unlike the confidence the world gives, this one won't vanish when the circumstances change. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Leelo Bush. I'm a master coach, author, curriculum creator, and the number one authority on Spirit-led Christian coaching. I've trained tens of thousands worldwide since 2003, and if you are ready to uplevel your skills, find greater fulfillment, and employ the most powerful coaching available to mankind, let's go. Welcome back, my friends. I am so glad you're here today because we're diving into one of the biggest struggles I hear from people, especially believers. They'll say, “I just wish I felt more confident.” Some people think confidence is a personality type. You're either born with it or you're not. Others think it's about accomplishments—that once they've achieved a certain goal, then they'll feel confident. But what if I told you that real, lasting confidence doesn't come from either of those things? The truth is confidence that lasts—the kind that can weather storms and setbacks—is built on something the world can't give you and can't take away. And once you have it, you can pass it on to others. Confidence isn't just about feeling good about yourself. It's about stepping into what God has called you to do without being paralyzed by fear or doubt. Hebrews 10:35 says, “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” When you know God has called you, confidence allows you to move forward even when you can't see the whole path. Society's version of confidence says you're awesome because you're beautiful, smart, or successful. God's version says you're equipped because I am with you. The world's confidence is like a helium balloon. It's fun while it's floating. But one sharp word from someone and—pop—it's gone. God's confidence is more like a deep-rooted oak tree. The winds can blow, the rains can pour, but you're still standing because your roots are anchored in His truth. Let's clear up another myth. Confidence is not a personality trait. It's not a case of some people have it and some people don't. It's a skill. And for the believer, it's also a choice. Think about David in the Bible. When he faced Goliath, he wasn't confident because he had the whole army behind him. In fact, they were hiding. He wasn't confident because he was the tallest, strongest warrior. He was confident because he knew God was with him, and that made all the difference. If your confidence is based on how well you did last time, how many people approve of you, or whether life is going smoothly, it will always be shaky. But when it's built on what God says about you—that you were chosen, you are loved, and you are equipped—it becomes steady. And here's the test: if your confidence disappears when circumstances change, it's fleeting. If it remains when things go wrong, it's lasting. Fleeting confidence says, “I nailed that presentation, so I feel good about myself.” Lasting confidence says, “Even if I stumble through this presentation, my worth and calling haven't changed.” The confidence the world offers is like an energy drink. It gives you a quick boost, but then you crash. God's confidence is living water. It keeps renewing and sustaining you. I remember a time early in my career when I was invited to present to a large group of community leaders. It was a big opportunity, and of course I wanted to make a strong impression. Right before I went up to speak, someone leaned over and whispered, “You know, these people are used to hearing from nationally known speakers. You might want to keep your talk short.” My first reaction—my stomach dropped. That little voice of doubt tried to tell me, “You're not qualified to be here.” But then I took a deep breath, silently prayed, “Lord, this is Your message, not mine,” and walked up with my head held high. The moment I started speaking, peace came over me. I knew I wasn't standing there in my own strength, and my words rolled out of me like I was a pro. It was like I was there in body, but someone else was controlling my message that day. It wasn't my polished words that made an impact—it was God's presence. And that's when I realized: when your confidence comes from Him, nobody can take it away. You might have heard this referred to as an anointing. And speaking of stepping into what God's called you to do, this is exactly why I am so passionate about equipping more Christians to serve with confidence in their calling. Right now is enrollment season at PCCCA for our Christian Coaching, counseling, and specialty coaching training and certification programs. These are the very courses that give you the skills, tools, and credentials to help others create transformation while growing in your own walk and purpose. If you've been feeling that nudge from the Lord to step forward in coaching or ministry—or whatever your particular calling is—this is the perfect time to say yes. You can find all the details and enroll today at PCCCA.org/courses. Let's get you trained, certified, and ready to make an even greater Kingdom impact. So how do you shift from self-doubt to Godfidence? It starts with agreement—agreeing with what God says about you, even if your feelings haven't caught up yet. Instead of saying, “What if I fail?” you start saying, “If God called me to this, He'll equip me for it.” Instead of thinking, “I'm not good enough,” you remind yourself, “In Christ I am more than enough for this moment.” Confidence is not arrogance. Arrogance says, “I'm better than you.” Godfidence says, “I'm secure in who I am, and you're amazing too.” For me, Godfidence grows when I go back to my source. Daily time in the Word keeps my mind renewed because what we believe shapes everything. I also practice taking baby bold steps. Every time I say yes to God, even in something small, it builds my trust. I don't entertain self-doubt like it's a welcome houseguest. I speak life over myself and over others because words create belief. And I make it a habit to remember what God has already done in my life—because His track record is perfect. And here's the beautiful part: we're not meant to keep Godfidence to ourselves. I remember coaching a young woman who had such a powerful testimony but was terrified to share it. She told me she was not a speaker and she didn't know what to say. I looked her straight in the eye and said, “This isn't about being a speaker. It's about being obedient.” We worked together on a short version of her story, prayed before she went on stage, and I watched as she stepped up with shaking hands. And then the Spirit took over. The response she got that night was overwhelming. People came up in tears thanking her for her courage. Later she told me, “If you hadn't believed in me, I wouldn't have been able to do it.” But what I really wanted her to see was that it wasn't my belief that mattered—it was God's. And that's the power of imparting Godfidence, friend. The world's confidence will tell you, “You can do it if you believe in yourself.” Godfidence says, “You can do it because you believe in Him.” You don't have to wait until you feel ready, because with God, you already are. And when you live in this kind of confidence, it doesn't just change your life—it's contagious. People around you start to rise too. So this week, take one step that scares you just a little, but do it with the full assurance that God is with you. And if you see someone else shrinking back, speak courage into them. Pass it on. That's how we build a confident, faith-filled community. I'm Dr. Leelo Bush, and you've been listening to the Christian Coaching School podcast. Carry what you learned today into the lives of those who need it most. And I'll meet you in the next episode.

Episode 107: Richard Alt is the CEO of Carnegie Investment Council, where he has led the firm through significant growth, including major acquisitions like Eagle Ridge. With more than two decades of experience, Richard is committed to true fiduciary principles—putting clients' interests first, eliminating conflicts of interest, and helping investors navigate risk with clarity and trust. This week, Kyle talks with Richard about his unconventional path into wealth management, inspired by his grandmother's financial struggles, and why fiduciary duty drives his work. He unpacks the six key risks investors must navigate, discusses Carnegie's recent Eagle Ridge acquisition, and highlights how communication and culture underpin successful firm transitions. Richard also shares his perspective on technology, the limits of AI in advising, and why trust and human relationships remain central to helping clients answer the ultimate question: “Am I going to be okay?”. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:34) - Richard's money moment (06:26) - How to identify a trustworthy financial advisor (08:56) - Celebrating Carnegie's 50th anniversary and lessons from decades of experience (10:44) - The six types of financial risks and how to manage them (15:02) - Inside Carnegie's recent partnership with Eagle Ridge (18:12) - Why clear communication is the key to successful firm transitions (22:47) - The surprising origin story behind Carnegie Investment Counsel's name (25:12) - How Carnegie leverages technology—and why AI won't replace advisors (30:24) - The biggest challenges facing financial advisors today (33:25) - Richard's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Choose fiduciaries, not salespeople. A license doesn't equal expertise—ask whether your advisor is a fiduciary 100% of the time and committed to putting your interests ahead of their own. Understand the six types of risk. Inflation, market volatility, individual security exposure, government actions, international factors, and regulatory surprises all threaten wealth. Managing these risks requires diversification, discipline, and perspective. Culture and communication drive successful transitions. Whether it's mergers, acquisitions, or client relationships, clarity of expectations, open communication, and valuing people are what ensure long-term success. Technology is powerful, but trust is irreplaceable. Tools like AI and portfolio software can enhance efficiency, but they cannot replace the human guidance, empathy, and wisdom clients need to confidently answer life's big financial questions. Quotes "Being in the business for a long time gives us the ability to make good, long-term decisions and avoid the other trap of our industry, which is making emotional decisions that undermine any long-term plan." ~ Richard Alt "Our job is not just picking stocks and putting them in their portfolio. It's managing risk and handholding clients." ~ Richard Alt "Technology has the ability to really improve data, communications, and portfolio design. But it will never be able to take away that human element of looking across the table at somebody and saying, Am I going to be okay?" ~ Richard Alt Links Richard Alt on LinkedIn Carnegie Investment Counsel Gary Wagner Berkshire Global Advisors Charles Schwab Fidelity Investments Vanguard Good to Great Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.
