Podcasts about Laziness

In this powerful and necessary episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a topic too many avoid: Black Fatigue—not as a trend, but as a trap.We're not sugarcoating. We're unpacking the Top 5 reasons why this mindset lingers and why it's being passed down like a generational curse:It's the Invention of an Excuse – From the locker room to the classroom, I've seen it all: missed practices, skipped assignments, and a never-ending stream of justifications.It Caters to Laziness – Don't confuse rest with neglect. Laziness disguised as “burnout” is killing momentum.It Keeps You in a Comfort Zone – The term "Black Community" gets thrown around, but are we enabling mediocrity instead of demanding progress?It Becomes Entertainment – The Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese drama is a distraction. Let's stop mistaking clickbait for cultural advancement.It Creates a Bond with Children (That They Don't Need) – Your child is not your friend. They need guidance, not a partner in complaining.This episode is about truth over trends and accountability over applause.

In Romans 2:4, Paul writes, “Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?” What a powerful reminder that even when we fail, especially when we fail, God's grace invites us back. He doesn't lead with condemnation, but with compassion.That truth has everything to do with our financial lives.Yes, God Cares About MoneyIt's easy to think God isn't concerned with something as “earthly” as money. But Scripture tells a different story. There are over 2,300 verses dealing with money and possessions. Why? Because how we handle money reveals what we value, trust, and believe about God.And just like any other area of our lives, when we fall short financially, whether through poor choices or sinful patterns, we're invited to bring those failures to the Lord in repentance.Grace for Financial FailuresWhen we confess our financial sins, we don't encounter a cold, condemning judge. We meet a loving Father, ready to forgive and restore. No financial mistake is too big for the Cross. Christ paid for every one of them.Take Zacchaeus, for example. The chief tax collector of Jericho was known for financial exploitation. But after one encounter with Jesus in Luke 19, everything changed. His repentance was visible: He gave half his possessions to the poor and repaid those he had wronged four times over. Jesus didn't demand this—grace compelled it. Zacchaeus didn't earn salvation by generosity; his giving revealed a heart transformed by it.We're invited to that same transformation.Financial Sins Worth Repenting OfYou might be wondering, What financial sins should I bring before the Lord? Here are a few worth reflecting on:1. Forgetting God Owns It AllWe are stewards, not owners. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us that God gives us the ability to produce wealth. When we forget that, we risk idolizing what we've earned instead of worshiping the One who provides.2. Dishonesty in Financial DealingsCutting corners, misrepresenting the truth, or taking advantage of others damages our witness. As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 8:21, “We aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord's sight but also in the sight of man.”3. Withholding GenerosityProverbs 11:24 warns that stinginess can actually lead to lack. A lack of generosity can reveal misplaced trust in wealth instead of God.4. Neglecting Diligent WorkWork isn't a punishment—it's a calling. Proverbs 14:23 says, “In all toil there is profit.” Laziness, or lack of engagement with our work, hinders our ability to live out God's purposes.5. Living Beyond Our MeansChronic overspending leads to stress and debt. Proverbs 22:7 says, “The borrower is slave to the lender.” Contentment honors God's provision.6. Coveting Others' WealthEnvy skews our perspective and sows discontentment. Exodus 20:17 calls us to guard our hearts from coveting what others have.Repentance That Leads to RestorationIf any of these hit close to home, remember this: conviction is not the same as condemnation. The goal of repentance is restoration, not shame. God is not asking for perfection—He's asking for surrender.When we confess, He forgives. And in His kindness, He leads us into new patterns of faithfulness marked by integrity, generosity, and wisdom.So wherever you are today—whether gathered with family, enjoying the day off, or reflecting quietly—take a moment to consider how God's kindness might be calling you back in your financial life.Ask Him to search your heart. Repent of anything that's not aligned with His will. And trust that He will meet you with mercy and guide you forward in grace. Because when we place even our financial story in His hands, it becomes a testimony of His faithfulness.And that, friend, is true freedom.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I want to know how to invest my Roth IRA funds.

Burnout vs. Laziness: How to Know When You Actually Need Rest(And why taking a break won't ruin your progress)If you've ever felt guilty for skipping a workout or wrestled with whether you're actually burned out… or just being “lazy”—this episode is for you.

Hour 1 Change the Supreme Court so that the nominees have to be able to perform magic tricks. People who sit on Facebook and just ask everyone else to educate them drive Ryfun nuts! Ryfun has jury duty Monday... Is John Roberts overestimating the Supreme Court's power. Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA

Paul tells the church at Galatia, “Yall were running the race with all you had, exerting all the effort you could, but something happened and it has hindered your running.” What happened? Circumcision. It's hard to run when you've had a knife cut into private part! That is a lot of pain and it takes a little while to heal up! Paul uses two words in the Greek to explain what he means by “hinder” but we don't fully grasp it in the English translations. Check out this podcast to see what Paul means and ask. Yourself this question, “Am I giving my all for Jesus? For the kingdom? Or is something hindering me from fully serving him?

What even is laziness? A moral failing? A personality flaw? Or just capitalism talking? In a culture obsessed with productivity and grindset mentality, the fear of being perceived as “lazy” runs deep—and it's often weaponized against people who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or simply existing outside the hustle.To help us rethink laziness from a more philosophical (and compassionate) perspective, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by Ellie Anderson (@ellieanderphd), philosopher, college professor, and co-host of the podcast Overthink. Together, they explore where our cultural obsession with busyness comes from, how laziness intersects with class and race, and why doing nothing might just be the most radical act of all.Further listening: Overthink podcast with Ellie Anderson and David Peña-Guzmán. - Join the "Magical Overthinkers Club" by following the pod on Instagram @magicaloverthinkers.- To access early, ad-free episodes and more, subscribe to the Magical Overthinkers Substack.- Pick up a hard copy of Amanda's book The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality, or listen to the audiobook.

An Iowa transplant has channeled what he calls laziness into forming two successful companies, publishing a memoir and now turning that into a staged musical.

Roel Staes, until recently General Counsel International at FedEx, joins Scott to reflect on a 22-year in-house legal career that scaled from Benelux counsel to overseeing a 500-strong international legal, regulatory, security, and government affairs team.In this wide-ranging episode, Roel shares candid lessons from the top—on everything from managing complexity in global organisations to learning how to communicate with clarity, brevity, and precision. A strong believer in over-communication and having your “memory card” ready, Roel explains why lawyers need to proactively articulate their value, insert themselves into business conversations, and take ownership beyond the job description.He also makes a compelling case for win-win lawyering, drawing from hard-earned lessons negotiating contracts and managing sensitive relationships. Plus, Roel introduces us to the concept of healthy laziness—why challenging processes, improving systems, and questioning the status quo is a key trait of high-performing in-house lawyers.Whether you're aiming for GC, growing a legal team, or just trying to become a sharper operator in-house, this episode is packed with sharp, actionable takeaways from someone who's walked the walk across global legal leadership.Guest Recommendations:Emotional Intelligence Habits by Dr. Travis BradberryWhat Every BODY Is Saying by Joe Navarro (FBI body language specialist)La Voix du RAID by Laurent Combalbert (on hostage negotiation and business decision-making)About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

Has AB's LAZINESS reached a whole new level??!!

Ever had one of those days? You've got the list. You've got the plan. You even have the time… But somehow, you end up deep-cleaning your kitchen pantry, reorganizing email folders, or scrolling TikTok wondering how that dog learned to skateboard instead of doing the ONE thing you said you'd do.

TUNE IN TO LEARN:  What if I told you that laziness doesn't exist?  That what we think of as resistance—in ourselves and others—is actually just a lack of clarity?  This revelation turns conventional thinking about change on its head, offering a powerful new perspective for anyone struggling to make progress on important goals.  Drawing from classic change management wisdom and years of executive coaching experience, this episode introduces the transformative "3 P's of Clarity" framework that dissolves resistance by addressing its true causes.  Whether you're trying to adopt a personal habit or lead organizational transformation, these three elements make the difference between stagnation and momentum.  Through practical examples and actionable insights, you'll learn to diagnose which element is missing when you or others feel stuck.  The framework applies equally to personal goals like learning a language and organizational challenges like culture transformation. By trading judgment for curiosity about which "P" needs attention, you'll discover how clarity naturally generates momentum.  Ready to transform how you approach change?  Listen now, and never again mistake confusion for resistance.  Share this episode with someone who might benefit from knowing they're not lazy—they're just unclear about their next step toward meaningful change.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the show Brought to you by Angela Shurina EXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Everybody wants the hacks. The quick fix. The shiny new tool. The LinkedIn post that magically draws leads like moths to a flame. But let me give it to you straight: Sales isn't won with hacks. It's won with habits. And the habits that win are the ones most reps abandon the minute things get uncomfortable or boring. If you're not hitting your number, it's probably not because you need better leads, better tech, or better timing. It's because you've drifted from the basics. The Fancy Stuff Is Failing You We see it all the time—salespeople hiding behind automation tools, social selling gimmicks, and relationship-building fluff. They talk a big game on Zoom, but when it's time to dial the phone or ask for the sale, they freeze like a deer in headlights. Let's call this what it is: avoidance. You're avoiding real sales conversations because they're uncomfortable. You're hoping your sequence will “nurture” your prospect into buying without you having to actually sell. But automation doesn't close deals. YOU do. The truth? Most salespeople would rather look productive than be productive. Fancy decks, CRM tagging, and custom email flows feel like progress—but they don't get the contract signed. Top producers know: The tools support the basics. They don't replace them. What Actually Wins: The Fundamentals If you want to win more, stop searching for better tactics and start doing the boring stuff better. Because these five basics are still undefeated: 1. Phone Calls Cold calls. Warm calls. Follow-up calls. Call blocks. Whatever the flavor, the phone remains your fastest path to building pipeline. And yet it's the most avoided. Most reps send five emails and give up. Not top performers. They make the call. Because conversations close deals—period. 2. Discovery Questions Stop pitching. Start digging. The best reps are curious, not convincing. They lead with questions that uncover pain, urgency, and decision dynamics. And they clam up long enough to actually listen. You don't earn trust by explaining. You earn it by understanding. 3. Objection Handling If objections scare you, it's because you don't practice.  Objections aren't stop signs—they're buying signals. But if you're caught off guard every time someone says, “I need to think about it,” you're not preparing. You're winging it. And amateurs who wing it get smoked. 4. Follow-Up Here's the truth: the sale is almost never made on the first call. Or the second. Or even the fifth. 80% of sales happen after the 5th touch, but most reps quit after two. Why? Emotion. They feel rejected. Embarrassed. “I don't want to bother them.” Bother them? You're solving a problem they can't fix alone. Follow up until they buy or you find them a better solution. 5. Asking for the Sale Most reps are afraid to ask. Why?  Because they're afraid of hearing no. But here's the thing: no is part of the process. If you're not hearing no, you're not asking enough. You're a consultant. You're a closer. Your job isn't to make the prospect feel warm and fuzzy—it's to guide them to a decision. And that means asking with courage and confidence. Why Reps Quit the Basics Three big reasons: Ego. “I've been selling for years—I don't need to practice this stuff.” Wrong. The minute you think you're too good for the basics is the minute your numbers start tanking.  Fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of sounding pushy. Fear of failing. So instead of doing the work, you procrastinate with busywork.  Laziness. The basics aren't sexy. They're repetitive. They take discipline. So most reps quit—and that's why most reps are average.  Want to stand out? Don't be like most reps. Go Pro or Go Home Top athletes don't get bored of running drills. They know repetition sharpens instinct. They know that under pressure, you don't rise to the occasion—you fall to your level of training. Same with sales. You don't magically handle objections—you drill them. 

This morning's message is a little different. We're exploring a big idea—mastery—and making it incredibly personal. There are moments in life where your choices don't just impact your future… they shape who you become. These are pivotal human intersections, and you're standing in one now.From the raw power of talent, to the refining fire of process, to the fuel of obsession—this message dives deep into what it means to live a life of purpose and intentionality. It's not about being the best in the world... it's about being the best version of you—the one God imagined when He created you.Cain had a choice. So do you. Sin lurks. Discouragement is easy. Laziness, envy, fear—they're effortless. But mastery, transformation, and becoming fully alive? That takes work. And it's so worth it.Whether you're chasing greatness, stuck in comparison, or just tired of living a lesser version of yourself—this message is for you. It's a call to self-mastery, to spiritual depth, and to radical, obsessive devotion to becoming who God designed you to be.“The most spiritual thing you will ever do… is choose.”⏳ It's your moment. Choose well.—

You weren't created to just exist—you were made to create, move, serve, and build something meaningful. But laziness can creep in as procrastination, fear, or just not knowing where to start. This message is about pushing past the waiting and walking boldly into the work God has given you to do. Work isn't a curse—it's a gift from God that existed before sin did. So what are you waiting for?

If you want to design a life where you call the shots—without falling for get-rich-quick illusions—this episode is for you.

What if the path to a meaningful life isn't paved with comfort, but with deliberate discomfort? In this episode, we explore the insidious nature of "flabbiness" - not just of body, but of mind and spirit. We'll uncover how our modern world lulls us into a state of complacent existence, and why the easy path often leads to the hardest life. Through stories of transformation and philosophical insights, we'll challenge the notion that happiness comes from avoiding difficulty. Instead, we'll discover how embracing challenge and responsibility can lead to a life of purpose and fulfillment. This isn't just about self-improvement; it's about redefining what it means to truly live in a world that often encourages us to merely exist: Choose your hard: Decide which difficulties are worth embracing Create your own resistance: Design challenges that grow you Reframe comfort: See ease as a tool, not a destination Are you ready to trade comfort for meaning? The choice is yours. Upgrade to Premium:

This week, we begin our new series, "Pity the Fool." Join us as we learn that we should work like we're working directly for the Lord, because we are.

Welcome to Zen Commuter and day four of Tricycle Week! Today, we're diving into a topic that challenges the way we see productivity and rest—laziness. Is laziness a real obstacle, or is it simply a rejection of society's constant push to always be moving? We'll explore the three aspects of laziness and question whether what we call “being lazy” is actually an intentional choice to be rather than do. Plus, we'll feature a reading from Working on Laziness by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, offering a deeper perspective on how mindfulness helps us navigate our relationship with effort and ease. Let's reframe laziness and uncover what it really means to live with purpose. Topics Covered: ✅ Definitions of the three types of laziness ✅ The understanding that laziness might be a response to societal expectations ✅ How to evaluate if laziness is real or imagined in your body.

The relentlessly prolific Jason Carman is making the films our culture needs: optimistic, inspiring and positioned at the frontiers of modern tech and science. In under two years, he has shipped more than 70 high-quality mini-documentaries exploring the startups shaping the future, racking up over 130,000 YouTube subscribers along the way. His new venture, Story Company, premiered “New Space”, its 100+ minute-long exploration of the modern space industry, to a packed San Francisco theater this year. Story Company has multiple projects in the pipeline, including a full-length sci-fi feature. Ultimately, he intends to create a new generation of sci-fi films: a Star Wars for the 21st century. I love Jason's ambition, drive and enthusiasm (not to mention his filmmaking chops), which is why we awarded him a $100k O'Shaughnessy Fellowship last year. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Join us as we dive into how laziness can be the biggest barrier to achieving success, not just for agents but also for their clients' financial dreams. In the competitive annuity business, going the extra mile makes all the difference. This episode explores the crucial habits that set successful agents apart: the relentless pursuit of new clients, the determination to push business through by consistently communicating with insurance companies, and a steadfast commitment to doing whatever it takes to serve clients' best interests. Contrast this with the pitfalls of laziness—how doing just the bare minimum can lead to missed opportunities and ultimately, fail to protect and grow your clients' retirement dreams. Discover actionable strategies to avoid complacency and ensure you're always operating at your best.

The Book of James commands us in our own Christian life to be "doers of the word" (1:22)--but Laziness is a sin that creeps under the door and eats away at not only our productivity but our spiritual lives, as God's workmanship authored that we would be created for good works (Eph 2:10), by which we would show the authenticity of our faith (Ja. 1:22). But idleness is the bane of this spiritual posture--just as "the sluggard says 'there is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!'" (Prov 22:13), so our laziness tempts us with no creative end to the excuses it conjures, each less logical yet more alluring than the last.So join us this week as we dissect this disease of ease, looking to how it rationalizes and reasons with the unguarded mind and how we can shake off this sin which clings so closely to our comfort, instead running "with endurance the race that is set before us" (Heb 12:1).Be sure to come back every Tuesday for new episodes and Thursday for bonus content, and find us on the following platforms as well:Find us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/oneanotherpodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Find us on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@oneanotherpodcast?si=7-JJ9raR9Fr0cQ9bFind us on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4RGIMhed26LZsl9TI56yPN?si=2924a1be839549b9Find us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-another/id1797190030

Ever felt like life is stuck on pause? Idleness can silently kill purpose, and today, we're exploring how to live with intention. Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith discuss the dangers of the sin of sloth, its link to mental health struggles, and the biblical call to work. They also explore the role of stay-at-home dads and how living mission-driven leads to fulfillment.   Through King David's downfall, they highlight the power of meaningful work and how to break free from stagnation. As we consider how to align our lives with God's design, we also ask: How do we balance leisure and recreation? Can Christians play video games without falling into idleness? This conversation will challenge and encourage you to step into your calling and discover the life God has planned for you.

My guest today is Graham Duncan. This conversation will make you think about your life in new ways. This is a two-hour segment of a 4.5-hour interview I did with Graham last year. It stands alone as remarkable, but those who subscribe to Colossus Review will gain access to the full conversation. This will be true in future issues, too. In 2006, in his early 30s, Graham convinced Stuart Miller, CEO of home construction company Lennar, to let him manage $50 million of his family's wealth. A year later, Miller gave him the rest of his capital outside of Lennar. That investment turned into East Rock, where Graham built an incredible investing track record managing billions for a select group of families by focusing on people. Our conversation explores a wide range of topics—from what makes a great investment partnership to the power of positive feedback loops to starting a restaurant. I'm thankful to Graham for showing me the way so many times and for being willing to be so incredibly open in this conversation. Please enjoy this discussion with Graham Duncan.  Subscribe to Colossus Review.
