This is such an incredible conversation to wrap up our Fridays in the Fall, Wider Lens series. Jerry Flowers is bringing encouragement about the patterns of your life and posture of your heart as we talk through his new book Heart Rehab: Finding the You God Created You to Be. Lean into the discomfort, create disciplines for preparedness, and surrender your need for control in order to step into your true calling as a son or daughter of the Lord Almighty. He loves you, he is for you, and we can trust him with our hearts!   Episode Highlights: Stop blaming everyone else. Take time for self reflection.  If we invite God in, He can use all seasons for our good and growth. Intimacy with the Lord allows us to grow into the people God created us to be.  Discipline and preparation go hand in hand. The more disciplined you are, the more prepared you are for what God has next.  Culture influences us to mislabel our fears, thoughts and anxieties. Make sure you are labeling them correctly. Strong core beliefs help us combat the lies of society and satan. Quotes from Today's Episode: I recognize many times, our placement in life isn't just because of problems, it's because of patterns. -Jerry Flowers Patterns reveal character. -Jerry Flowers Patterns are one of the ushers to certain seasons. -Jerry Flowers We want to blame the enemy, but we have to look at ourselves too. -Jerry Flowers Be aware of the enemy, for sure. But I think sometimes that keeps us from taking responsibility for our part. -Jerry Flowers It may not make sense right then, but later it'll make sense. -Jerry Flowers I see things that God put me through, before we got married, that helped me when I got married. -Dr. Kim We want to be whole enough where the Lord can pour into us and we can pour back out.- Jerry Flowers If you want results, you lean into discomfort.- Jerry Flowers What changed for me is realizing that my mind can lie to me. -Jerry Flowers A Wider Lens: Questions for Self Reflection Look at your daily life and identify one unhealthy pattern you've grown comfortable with. What one discipline could you start practicing to combat this pattern and prepare for what God has next? Identify an area of your life you haven't fully surrendered to the Lord. Choose a Scripture verse to meditate on as you commit to trusting Him completely.   Mentioned in this Episode: Website: Jerryflowersministries.com ; redefinedtv.net Facebook: facebook.com/JerryFlowersMinistries ; facebook.com/@redefinedtv Instagram: instagram.com/jerryflowers.jr ; instagram.com/redefinedtv YouTube: youtube.com/@Beredefined TikTok: tiktok.com/@jerryflowers.jr Heart Rehab: Finding the You God Created You to Be  

Joe Moore sits down with Greg Shanken (Colorado Psychedelic Society, Collaborence Psychedelic Business Association; founder, Higher Frequency Network) for a wide-ranging conversation about building community infrastructure, navigating censorship, and creating accessible, ethical pathways into psychedelic healing. Greg shares his personal arc from lifelong depression to ayahuasca, ketamine, and Bufo; why he launched a vetted affiliate/partner network for our space; and how Oregon–Colorado collaboration can widen access while honoring reciprocity and conservation. Key themes Collaborence: a two-day CO/OR event (online + in-person) connecting facilitators, professionals, and the public with pay-what-you-can access options. Access & affordability: how to widen entry points (microdosing, breathwork, scholarships/funds) within and beyond regulated service/healing centers. Censorship & platform risk: why repeated Meta account shutdowns pushed Greg to build community-based distribution outside big ad networks. Personal journey: depression, SSRIs/SNRIs/ADHD meds → ayahuasca (two-night initiation), IM ketamine, and later Bufo/5-MeO-DMT. Ethics & ecology: “blood toad,” conservation, and the case for synthetic 5-MeO-DMT over toad-sourced material; parallels with peyote/mescaline carve-outs. Leadership & culture: bringing heart-centered leadership, breathwork, and microdosing into companies; moving from transactional to mutual-aid ecosystems. Regulated vs. underground: costs, insurance realities, sliding-scale models, and the role each plays in a healthy landscape.

Terry Haayema: The Product Owner Who Made Retros Unsafe (And How We Fixed It) Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "The biggest anti-pattern was that he made the retro unsafe... he would come to the retro and called people out for things that had not been done." The Bad Product Owner: The PO Who Made Retros Unsafe Terry describes a product owner who came from a management background focused on widgets and KPIs, completely unprepared for the collaborative nature of the product owner role. This person's biggest anti-pattern was making retrospectives unsafe by calling out individual team members for things not completed or not done to his satisfaction. When gentle coaching interventions failed, Terry took the dramatic step of excluding the PO from retrospectives entirely. Surprisingly, this shock treatment worked - when the PO asked why he wasn't invited, Terry used SBI feedback (Situation, Behavior, Impact) to help him understand how his actions were destroying team dynamics. The story has a positive ending, with the PO eventually understanding and changing his approach. In this segment, we refer to the Retrospective Prime Directive, and the SBI feedback framework. The Great Product Owner: The Customer Connector Terry's best product owner example saw their role not just as the voice of the customer, but as the connector between team and customers. Instead of relying solely on user stories and personas, this PO organized regular informal events where real customers and team members could meet, share pizza and beer, and have genuine conversations. These social connections led to deep customer understanding and resulted in their best feature ever - a simple addition that showed customers their last six orders for easy reordering. This feature increased both order frequency and size while dramatically improving the team's ability to empathize with their users. Self-reflection Question: How might you help your product owner move from being the voice of the customer to being the bridge that connects your team directly with real users?

Guest: Will Linssen – Triple Win Leadership in Action In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we sit down with Will Linssen, a globally recognized leadership coach and the #1 Amazon bestselling author of Triple Win Leadership Coaching. Will's approach has empowered over 100,000 leaders at world-renowned organizations including LinkedIn, Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz, Saudi Aramco, and Samsung.

Instead, the transformation came by reshaping how leaders connect, trust, and engage with their people.

In today's episode of the Second in Command podcast, Cameron explores one of the most common yet challenging aspects of leadership: how to handle conflict without falling into the role of constant mediator. You'll hear strategies for equipping managers to address issues themselves, drawing from structured frameworks that encourage ownership, accountability, and independent problem solving. Rather than leaders becoming the “referees” in every dispute, the discussion explores how to build confidence and skill within teams so they can work through disagreements productively.The conversation also dives into the practical realities of leadership training. It considers why teams often struggle to implement what they've learned, how to create space in busy schedules for professional development, and why ongoing practice is critical to mastery. By comparing leadership growth to athletic training, you'll discover the need for repetition, reflection, and reinforcement over time, and why one-time exposure isn't enough for long-term results.Tired of playing referee? Learn how to build leaders who resolve conflicts and drive results on their own.

We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.Leadership is about finding ways to help your team win, but it is also about supporting them through seasons of loss. It's not a matter of talent. Every leader will walk their team through seasons of loss. In those moments, your team doesn't need a cheerleader. They need a leader who knows how to be honest, visionary, and practical. In today's podcast, we're talking about the art of redemptive leadership in dark seasons.

The Blue-Collar Twins sit down with Byron Gifford—the “godfather of door-to-door”—to unpack his ground-zero start in summer sales, the Evergreen chapters (launch, rapid expansion, strategic exits), and the operating cadence that lets his team add tens of thousands of accounts without melting down. It's a masterclass in self-financing hypergrowth, centralizing ops, and developing leaders who can actually carry the load. You'll hear: Hypergrowth reality: why fast scale feels like self-financing—and why people are harder than cash.Ground zero of D2D: Salesnet → Eclipse → starting a pest company from a marketing engine.Evergreen playbook: launch, densify, sell, reinvest—then rinse and repeat across markets.Centralized backbone: one call center, cookie-cutter ops, and tech/termite cross-sell that de-risk seasonality.Beyond the doors: building non-D2D channels (digital, referrals, tech upsells) until they rival summer volume.Leadership & longevity: morning “elevated state,” systems, and a health comeback that reset the throttle.

In this episode of the Grow Think Tank podcast, I sit down with Jeff Lu, Founder & CEO at Akool, an AI-powered video platform that has skyrocketed with an unbelievable 37,000% revenue growth. AKOOL is the No.1 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list.

I've been engaged with a lot of material with Diesel Day & 'Checking In w/ the Left Hand' Framework, as well as, putting an incredible amount of energy into the Big Fish Foundation and personal growth.Connor & I have also started up a Substack account where we're sharing short articles generated from conversations and ideas we shared during our weekly book writing sessions and what would have generally been topics of this podcast.Since I've been off this BuzzSprout platform things have changed a little and seemed to have been updated with more capability. Excited to see where we can polish up things a bit. Anyways, here we go...

In this episode, we dissect the symbolism of President Trump's Presidential Hall of Fame—highlighting the lone “autopen” representing Joe Biden—and explore what it reveals about the current state of Democratic leadership. From Kamala Harris's rise without a primary vote to the party's machine-like approach to policy, we unpack the emptiness at the heart of the Democrat Party. We also examine the real-world consequences of these policies, including the UN-backed influx of migrants, government-funded programs for illegal immigrants, and the resulting societal tensions. Tune in for an incisive analysis of political strategy, voter manipulation, and the growing panic within the left.

Check us our here: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-linksIn Part 3 of this three-part series, host John Scardena wraps up his conversation with Jim Balthazar, exploring how churches and faith-based organizations can strengthen safety while preserving their mission of sanctuary. With decades of law enforcement, ATF Special Response Team service, and experience leading security for a large church, Jim shares practical approaches for balancing protection, ministry, and community trust.Topics Covered in Part 3Perimeter strategy — why extending security outward, even to sidewalks and parking lots, creates more time and distance to respond.Church disruptions vs. rare violent threats — preparing for the more likely challenges such as disruptions, vandalism, or medical incidents.De-escalation and “pastor-first” approach — treating people with kindness while being ready to shift into protection mode when necessary.Cultural balance — how to avoid turning places of worship into “fortresses,” while still ensuring safety for congregants.Active Threat Mitigation — Places of worship, like businesses and schools, should rely on trained, professional responders to protect congregations. Volunteer greeters and ushers are vital for hospitality and situational awareness, but they should not be expected to act in a professional security or use-of-force role unless they hold current, verifiable professional security or law enforcement credentials.Family and community role — why parents and local culture remain the first line of defense, and how churches can reinforce these values.Key TakeawaysPrevention begins outside the building — greeters and safety teams should look outward as well as inward.Most church incidents are not violent — disruptions and vandalism are far more common and deserve focused planning.De-escalation matters — approach with kindness first, but be ready to act decisively if needed.Faith and safety can coexist — churches can remain welcoming while still protecting their community.Families remain central — cultural norms of responsibility and involvement are more powerful than mandates.Part One: Leadership in the FieldPart Two: Charlie Kirk, Schools, & MitigationMajor EndorsementsImpulseBleeding Control Kits by Professionals for Professionalshttps://www.impulsekits.comDoberman Emergency ManagementSubject matter experts in assessments, planning, and traininghttps://www.dobermanemg.comThe Readiness LabTrailblazing disaster readiness through podcasts, outreach, marketing, and interactive eventshttps://www.thereadinesslab.comFor Sponsorship Requestscontact@thereadinesslab.com314-400-8848 Ext 2#DisasterToughPodcast #EmergencyManagement #ChurchSecurity #CrisisLeadership #DisasterResponse #ActiveShooterAwareness #PublicSafety #Resilience #Leadership #IncidentCommand #FaithBasedSecurity #CommunitySafety

Send us a textWhat happens when a rebellious teenager receives a life-altering cancer diagnosis at 18? In this powerful conversation, Steve Garraty shares his extraordinary journey from self-destructive partying to profound purpose after doctors discovered a grapefruit-sized tumor in his neck on July 4th, 1986.Steve candidly reveals his spiral into reckless behavior after moving to Atlanta as a teen – drinking before school, wrecking five cars while intoxicated, and causing tremendous stress for his family. Just after high school graduation, everything changed with three devastating words: "you have cancer." Through nine grueling months of chemotherapy, Steve kept a journal that would eventually become his book "Greatfruit: How Cancer Led to Living a More Fruitful Life."The heart of this episode explores how facing mortality at such a young age transformed Steve's approach to fatherhood. With doctors warning he might never have children due to his treatments, each moment with his two children became a profound gift. Now a grandfather and successful sales leader at companies like Salesforce, Oracle, and Workday, Steve reflects on how his cancer journey cultivated deep empathy, gratitude, and perspective – qualities that shaped both his parenting and professional leadership.Most compelling is Steve's insight about extracting meaning from life's hardest moments. "We all go through stuff," he shares. "It may have a different face for you than for me, but we all go through moments or events that change us." His message to parents: be resilient through challenges, lean on your support network, and look for opportunities to grow through adversity.Whether you're facing your own struggles or simply seeking perspective on what truly matters in parenting, Steve's story will inspire you to embrace each day with intention and appreciation.

You've seen the picture of a bridge being constructed where the two side are supposed to meet and they don't! Well, that is what misalignment looks like. In most firms, the sales function is the largest lever for executing strategy—yet it's often misaligned with the choices leaders say they've made. Fixing that gap is crucial for organizational success.

From nursery rhymes to boardrooms, men are taught to keep their guard up at all costs. In this raw conversation, David explores why our walls must crack for us to truly live. Drawing on personal stories of divorce, family illness and business collapse, he challenges the myth that strength equals stoicism and invites listeners into a more authentic way of being.Key Takeaways:~[00:00] The wall cracks — challenging the myth that strength means never breaking.~[02:00] Fear of being seen — why people in positions of power hide their true selves.~[04:40] Put down your guard and let in your God — accessing the soul beyond the armor.~[06:30] Take down your own walls — the cost of keeping your heart hidden and the invitation to self‑responsibility.~[08:50] The price of hiding — from dementia to divorce, what it costs you and those you love when you refuse to crack.

Generative AI is significantly transforming technology jobs, particularly by automating repetitive tasks such as coding and data processing. A recent analysis by Indeed indicates that while many tech skills will evolve, less than 1% are likely to be fully replaced by AI. This shift is creating challenges for organizations, as employees struggle with the overwhelming number of AI tools available, leading to wasted hours and lost productivity. Companies are urged to streamline their operations by implementing unified platforms that can integrate AI effectively, reducing manual tasks and enhancing overall productivity.The issue of AI agent sprawl is highlighted, where organizations may manage numerous AI agents, resulting in chaos rather than transformation. Analysts are reportedly losing an average of 9.1 hours each week due to inefficient workflows, costing companies billions annually. Despite this, many executives mistakenly believe their teams are operating at peak productivity. The podcast emphasizes the need for organizations to measure productivity based on actual output and create operational visibility to unlock growth potential.Diversity in IT leadership is another pressing concern, as the representation of women in technology continues to decline. A recent report reveals that while the number of women in the ICT sector has increased, men still dominate management roles. The exit of thousands of women from tech roles each year is attributed to a lack of career progression and recognition, rather than personal responsibilities. This trend not only affects workplace culture but also has significant economic implications, with billions lost due to decreased productivity and recruitment challenges.Finally, Google is merging Android and Chrome OS to create a new operating system aimed at enhancing AI capabilities on personal computers. This development is expected to impact how IT manages devices, particularly in K-12 and small business markets. Providers are advised to prepare for this shift by developing training and support strategies for clients. The podcast concludes with a call to action for IT leaders to focus on practical solutions to modern challenges, including email security, while also addressing the critical need for diversity and inclusion within the tech industry.Four things to know today00:00 AI Isn't Killing Jobs—It's Killing Repetition.

Why do we make hard skills and soft skills battle each other for attention? It's dumb. They're both important. The problem is, they are more fluid than we assume. Your hard skills can improve or get worse and your soft skills will need to change with different relationships. There is no perfect way to train either of them but the best teams know how to use them to build something significant. I wanted to invest some time in the process teams and leaders need to work through to help their people use each of these. Do this well and you'll find an incredible generous culture that attracts top talent and loyal customers. Have a skilled rest of your week.

Agile Coaches Can't Fix What Leadership Keeps BreakingYou can run the cleanest standups, the best retros, and the most motivated team workshops — and still feel like you're sprinting in circles.Because if leadership isn't on board, the system breaks faster than you can coach it. It's the silent pain many Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches carry: you're hired to drive agility, but you're blocked by decisions made way above your influence. And when things stall, guess who gets blamed?How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Saw a great post from Jim Shapiro (@jimshapiro) where he shared this: “The future belongs to the consistent. Not the talented, not the lucky, but the one who shows up, even when it's hard. Show up. Effort never betrays you.” Loved this! Just keep showing up. Whatever it is we have to do!

Today's Todd Huff Show is hosted by former Indiana State Senator John Crane, who reflects on his journey in politics and why he chose to voluntarily term-limit himself. Drawing from nearly a decade in public office, Crane explains why politics is always downstream from culture—and why the real battle lies upstream in the war of worldviews.Crane shares candid insights from his time in the Indiana Senate, including his conviction that Christians are called to be a catalyst for redemptive good in politics. He challenges the Church to stop treating politics as “too dirty” for engagement and instead equip the next generation of biblically grounded leaders to step boldly into the arena.Drawing on Romans 12 and his personal prayer life while serving in office, Crane emphasizes that leadership is intentional influence—and every believer is called to shine light where darkness seems strongest. He urges the Church to take political discipleship seriously, raising up leaders who are thoughtful, principled, and courageous.If politics is downstream, the Church must go upstream to shape culture with truth, conviction, and biblical clarity. As Crane makes clear: the mission field of politics desperately needs faithful leaders.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

Confidence isn't something you either have or don't have; it's something you build, just like a muscle. And like any muscle, it grows stronger with consistent training and weakens with neglect.If you're a leader whose confidence has been slipping lately, you're not alone. Between workplace uncertainty, shifting expectations, and mounting pressures, even seasoned leaders can feel like their authority and impact are being challenged.Find the full show notes at: https://workmatters.com/Training-Your-Confidence-Muscle---Building-Unshakeable-Leadership-Strength

In the final episode of our 6 Part Series, "Communication Lies Leaders Believe", Tammy delivers a hard truth: some of the support you're giving your team isn't helping—it's enabling. This episode busts the myth that constantly helping will lead to growth and exposes the codependent patterns that can quietly destroy a team's culture. Tammy reveals how over-functioning for your people can lead to burnout among your top talent and a cycle of learned helplessness in your low performers. She provides a reset with 3 clear steps to stop rescuing and start truly empowering your team. Your job is to coach, not to coddle. Key Takeaways for Leaders Helping Can Be Hurtful: "Support becomes enablement when you take the responsibility for someone else's growth." The Codependent Cycle: You rely on your team to make you feel needed, and they rely on you to fix their problems. The High Cost of Coddling: Over-functioning for a low performer can cause your top talent to feel undervalued and lead to a 20% increase in overall turnover. Recognize the Signs: You're rescuing instead of leading if you're more invested in solving their problems than they are, or if you feel guilty when they fail. Break the Cycle: Coach people forward, not where they're at. The Three Steps to Truly Support Growth Name It and Claim It: Step in and address the pattern directly. Acknowledge that you've been solving their issues and state that it's not sustainable. Give Responsibility Back: Map out what success looks like and make it clear that your role is a resource, not a rescuer. Hold the Line: Set clear boundaries and expectations. If they don't act, don't step in. Let the natural consequences of their inaction play out. If this episode hit home, it's time to break a pattern.

>Join Jocko Underground< Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins about the realities of leadership in war, ministry, law, Congress, and now the VA. Collins shares hard lessons from funerals and eulogies, where grief and writing become tools for healing. He reflects on the brutality of “full-contact politics,” bipartisan wins that mattered, and the chaos of impeachment battles. From his close work with President Trump to his current mission inside the nation's second-largest department, Collins lays out the scale of the VA—health care, benefits, cemeteries—and the fight to cut through bureaucracy. This conversation is about service, accountability, and the relentless effort to honor veterans not as victims, but as warriors who deserve the best care their nation can give.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content
