Last month ago, we sat down and shared the heartbreak of getting rejected from law school — a moment that felt like a punch to the gut after months of studying, praying, and hoping. It was raw, real, and left us asking, “God, why would you bring us this far just to say no?” But this week… we have an update! In this episode, we open up about what's happened since the rejection — the doubts, the prayers, the unexpected twists, and how God moved in ways we didn't see coming. If you've ever faced a closed door, been disappointed by an outcome you prayed for, or questioned where God is in the silence, this one is for you. We get honest about how this law school journey has stretched our faith and share what we've learned about trusting God in the middle of “not yet.” Whether you're chasing a dream, waiting on an answer, or trying to hold on to hope — we pray this encourages you to believe that God's timing really is better than ours. Because sometimes, the rejection isn't the end of the story… it's just the beginning of a better one!!

This week, the New Zealand government has pushed through with urgency, the introduction of a Pay Equity Amendment Bill which makes changes to the Equal Pay Act 1972, making the criteria for pay equity claims stricter, and discontinuing thirty three existing claims, which were representing thousands of workers. While coalition party politicians say the amendment would benefit women and could save ‘billions', opposition parties and community commentators reject these notions and have expressed disappointment and frustration at the lack of opportunity for public engagement on the issue. Producer Sara spoke with University of Auckland teaching fellow Simon Schofield about the issue. She began the interview by asking why this bill is so problematic

Christopher is a New England Law graduate and currently works as the CEO of Earley Law Group, as well as being an author of numerous books. Chris's journey started with him not knowing what he wanted to do. He didn't mind school, and didn't mind the grind, and embarked on his journey to Law School, just to fall in love with it all! Chris and I would continue down his path, discussing his 1L year, which he neither loved nor hated, as it was full of doubt and adversity. Although he did not mind the rigor of Law School, and began to realize he was exercising new muscles in his brain that he had not used previously it. He then went on to speak about the rest of Chris's Law School experience and his eventual graduation from Law School, where he entered a barren and tough job market. In classic Chris fashion, he would start out on his own, opening the Earley Law Group. For the last two decades, Chris has taken Earley Law Group to unimaginable heights, which has led us to him delivering an unbelievable amount of wisdom! Finally, Chris speaks about taking action, being proactive, creating opportunities, being bold, emotional intelligence, and so, so much more.

Send us a textSacrifice, resilience, and cultural pride converge in this profound conversation with Chef Nelson Millán, whose remarkable journey from Puerto Rico to global culinary ambassador demonstrates the transformative power of unwavering commitment.Born in Puerto Rico and initially pursuing law to please his father, Millán's life changed course when he discovered his true calling in the culinary arts. Their cultural disconnect was immediate – his father dismissively asked if he wanted to be "like the little ladies in the kitchen" rather than a "prominent lawyer." This reflection on Latin American perceptions of professional cooking opens a fascinating window into how cultural attitudes toward culinary careers have evolved.The depths of Millán's dedication become apparent as he recounts sleeping in his van between closing Wendy's at 3 AM and attending baking classes at 6 AM. These sacrifices built the character that would later define his leadership style and commitment to mentorship. His gratitude toward the "angels" who supported him – particularly his mother and also school coordinator Alicia Rivera who drove him to school for three months – reminds us how critical support networks are in achieving our dreams.Millán's expertise ultimately led him to write curriculum for the Culinary Institute of America's Latin Caribbean studies program and travel globally as an Ambassador for Australian Beef. His newest venture, Sofrito cubes, represents his vision of sharing authentic Latin flavors with the world in a convenient format – his "gift from Latin America to the world" akin to how tikka masala and marinara sauce have transcended their origins.For anyone fascinated by the intersection of cultural identity, culinary innovation, and personal determination, this episode offers rich insights into how food traditions evolve while maintaining their authentic roots.https://www.instagram.com/delencantofoods?igsh=dXF5d2VoMzg1dGky&utm_source=qrIntroducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Law firms are threatened with draconian penalties, with scarcely disguised vengeful and politically destructive motive.  Universities are dragged on the carpet, with demands that they forfeit their academic freedom, choice in hiring, and internal mission priorities.  What's going on here?  What is likely to happen in Court?  Are the firms and universities defensible on constitutional grounds as well as because of procedural and statutory reasons?  We bring on Vik Amar, former Dean at the Law School at University of Illinois, Urbana, and author of recent articles on both these crises.  And while we are at it, we take a look at the forthcoming Supreme Court oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case, which superficially is about nationwide injunctions.  Is that really what it's about, and in any case, is there more than that there?  Three of our current crises in one sweeping conversation.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Mary Marantz knows how fear can hold us back. Even though she was able to leave the musty single-wide trailer of her childhood in West Virginia and make her way to Yale Law School, she always carried the fear that she would be found out. Even though she had worked hard and earned every grade and scholarship she received she thought others saw her as an imposter. So, she strove to be the best at everything she did, and she was. But the life of perfection has a way of draining the joy out of you. Mary finally realized that fear was holding her hostage to a life that didn't provide freedom and that he is a boring liar. In this episode she shares part of her fascinating story of growing up in rural West Virginia, which is the topic of her first book, Dirt, with a dad who was a proud eighth generation logger, a mom who cleaned houses and her amazing grandma Goldie. In her newest book, Underestimated, she shares how she overcame perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing and more. She understands the drive to prove others wrong and show everyone just how far you've come, while also doubting yourself at every turn. Mary has learned that we all must own the muddy parts of our stories so we can move forward in the purpose God has for us. Because, as Mary says, God does His best work in the muddy, messy, and broken if we'll only learn to dig in.  Go to Carolroper.org for show notes Join the Building Strong Homes community by signing up for email updates and receive my baked spaghetti recipe Also join the Building Strong Homes Facebook Community If you'd like to connect with me or have an idea for an episode you can email me at buildingstronghomes@gmail.com Watch on YouTube Underestimated: From a Single-Wide Trailer in W.
