She shares why career pivots show up for so many of us — sometimes by choice, sometimes not — and how those quiet nudges can point you toward work that feels better than what you've been settling for. Ariane also explains why it helps to pause, breathe, and let yourself feel what's coming up before rushing into the next thing. Then she gets practical, with small steps like checking in with people who've seen you shine, reconnecting with supportive colleagues, and exploring new options without having it all figured out. If you're standing at a career crossroads, this episode offers grounded guidance and a reassuring place to begin.

The future may not be hiding in Silicon Valley. It could be hidden in your childhood. When a bright young grad sits down at Cal's Thanksgiving table worried about AI layoffs and disappearing careers, Cal offers an unexpected roadmap: Don't try to predict the future . . . remember it. Some of the greatest innovators didn't choose their path — their childhood chose it for them. In this episode, Cal shows how a single moment from your early life can reveal where you're meant to go next in an AI-shaken world. If you're wondering what job will survive the robots, why not start with the kid you used to be, then project forward.

What if the most important decision you ever made was trusting someone who saw your potential before you fully saw it yourself? In this episode, Morgan Nichols, CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners and financial advisor, shares her journey from a 25-year-old in corporate finance loading up a U-Haul and driving cross-country to lead a financial advisory practice in Texas. As the first born of two financial advisors, Morgan was "destined" for this work, but it was her father-in-law Gary's belief in her potential that gave her the springboard to build a multi-state practice with offices in three states and serve four generations of the same family. From working in a male-dominated sales environment where she was the youngest person on the desk to becoming CEO and co-authoring "Intentional Legacy" with partner Kelly Base, Morgan's story reveals the power of relationships that see who you can become. Through fertility challenges overcome with the help of two incredible doctors, she now wakes up every morning with her three-year-old daughter as her "why," a constant reminder that we get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional and impactful as possible. Morgan shares why achievement without purpose left her asking "why do we work so hard?", how opposite strengths with the right partner create relationship gold, and why showing up with gratitude and goodness puts us on the right foot to make million-dollar impacts we might never even see coming.   [00:05:20] What Morgan Does: Financial Advisor with a Different Approach Financial advisor and CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners Careful to define "financial advisor" - not just transactional relationships Works with clients covering all areas of financial lives Serves individuals, families with larger portfolios, and small business owners Helps clients navigate financial peace of mind [00:06:32] Leading a Multi-State Practice: Growth-Minded Excellence CEO of practice with offices in three states: Grapevine, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area) Harrisonburg, Virginia Chicagoland area, Illinois Loves learning about industry changes and simplifying for clients Leads a team, trains younger advisors Works with well-seasoned advisors, sharing perspectives Building a team focused on making a difference in the lives of others [00:07:45] Destined for This Work: The Apple Didn't Fall Far First born of two financial advisors After college, took a job in Boston in wholesaling, corporate finance Enjoyed opportunities and learning ground Recognized that for some people, personal finance makes their eyes glaze over; they just want to delegate it [00:09:18] Most Impactful Result: Four Generations of One Family Works with four generations of one family Started with one generation in the middle: husband and wife in their 30s trying to raise children and manage life Over time, ended up working with the parents and grandparents Heartwarming to know the whole family line is seeing the benefit of planning [00:12:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Gary's Leap of Faith Father-in-law Gary is the advisor who gave her the career opportunity At 25, working in corporate finance in Boston, thought she was doing pretty good Had opportunity to leave Boston, load up U-Haul, drive across country Without that opportunity, she wouldn't have ability to springboard the way she is today Achievement is one of her core values, and this relationship helped her grow her career [00:16:34] Finding Relationship Gold: Kelly Base and Opposite Strengths Kelly Base is an advisor on her team Co-authored book "Intentional Legacy" together over the past year Met in 2023 through a women's entrepreneurial group Having more fun in their career than they ever could have imagined "We have to find people that compliment our strengths and can also speak truth in our lives so we can become the sharpest versions of ourselves and sharpen one another" [00:19:20] The Million-Dollar Question: Why Do We Work So Hard? Very driven, wired a certain way Can work all day, come home, be fulfilled in career When she really dove into her values, realized family really matters Area families don't always talk about: challenges with fertility, having a family Felt sharing her story was important so others can feel comfortable sharing theirs [00:20:00] The Gift of Life: Two Doctors and a Miracle Had two doctors in her life who navigated the challenge with her Journey from "we don't think you're gonna be able to have children" to having a beautiful daughter In the spirit of intention, being achievement-minded and a mom "I've got my work baby and my baby baby, and I'm always juggling their priorities" Doctors gave her the shot to pour into the next generation [00:22:20] Faith and Gratitude: The Foundation of Everything Faith is very important to her and aligns with her values Has achievement as a value Leans into her faith as she does her work and lives her personal life Hopes to continue making an impact in lives of others, personally and professionally [00:24:00] Giving Back: Grace and Growing Generosity Giving back in community is really important Supports Grace, a local charitable organization helping the underserved who need help As a business, able to support their endeavors and help those who need it most Giving back is ingrained in core values Wouldn't have a business if it weren't for relationship with Gary, or it wouldn't look the way it does today [00:30:17] Mentorship Matters: Female Advisors Pouring In Started career in sales environment that was probably 10% female Was the youngest person on the sales desk in downtown Boston Now advocates for young women starting in finance: "Go find mentors. You're not too young, don't hesitate. This is a great career and you can get so much out of those relationships" "You never even know where all of them are gonna lead, but they make such an impact" [00:32:05] Where to Find Morgan & The Intentional Legacy Website for book: intentionallegacybook.com Feedback: "This is something I wish I would've read 20, 30 years ago. I really want my children to read it" Personal website: lifebranchwealth.com Always glad to have a conversation with anyone   KEY QUOTES "We get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional, as and impactful as possible." - Morgan Nichols "I can't put a price tag on that... These doctors just helped give me the daughter, and that's gonna be a generational impact." - Morgan Nichols "We have to find people that compliment our strengths and can also speak truth in our lives so we can become the sharpest versions of ourselves and sharpen one another." - Morgan Nichols "If we keep showing up with goodness, we show up with gratitude and acknowledging our blessings, it puts us on the right foot to see opportunity and to really make a difference." - Morgan Nichols "If I just do what I'm doing and I don't intentionally think about what I'm doing and why, you know, she's gonna be 15 and I'm not gonna get those years back." - Morgan Nichols CONNECT WITH MORGAN NICHOLS

America's next great distance runner might not be a pro, he might be a junior at Wake Forest.At the 2025 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships on November 22, Rocky Hansen delivered the race of his life, finishing second overall and coming within striking distance of the national title. Last year, Rocky placed 100th at this same meet, so his surge is proof that he's putting himself up there with the best who can do it right now.But rising to the front at the national championship level is nothing new for Rocky.Before Wake Forest, he was a three-time North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year (twice for track, once for XC) and a 10-time state record holder, including 3:58.23 for the mile, becoming the first in North Carolina to break the 4:00 barrier in high school.At Wake Forest, Rocky has only continued to elevate. He holds PRs of 3:38 (1500m), 3:57 (mile), 7:56 (3000m), and a stunning 13:07 5000m, which broke the Wake Forest school record and established him as one of the fastest collegiate 5K runners in NCAA history. He also placed 5th in the NCAA Outdoor 5000m last year.Rocky Hansen's story is still being written, but after finishing second on the biggest stage in the NCAA and making a massive leap from last year, it's clear he's ready for the spotlight.Tap into the Rocky Hansen Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Some places don't just feel haunted — they feel wounded.High above a roaring Colombian waterfall sits the infamous Hotel del Salto, a cliffside mansion soaked in tragedy, whispers, and a century of unexplainable encounters. Locals speak of the falls as sacred… and cursed. Visitors report shadows that move on their own, voices rising from the mist, and a heaviness that seems to breathe from the walls themselves. This week on True Hauntings, Anne and Renata journey deep into the forests of Colombia to uncover the chilling history behind one of the country's most notorious dark-tourism hotspots. Is the Hotel of the Leap truly haunted — or is the land itself carrying the weight of every story, every sorrow, and every soul that never returned from the cliffs? Step inside, if you dare. The view is beautiful… but what lingers there is anything but.

Mystical Messages host and veteran astrologer Hilary shares the cosmic forecast for December 2025.  With Mercury now turning direct motion, the final month of the year flows more smoothly than the prior few weeks.  Go ahead with your holiday shopping, signing significant contracts, booking travel and purchasing electronics or large ticket items.  The dominant Sagittarius energies now encourage us to explore and expand ourselves.  The week leading into the Full Moon in Gemini on Thursday, December 4th will be the most challenging stretch of the month.  Watch for people overcommitting but under delivering, speaking out of both sides of their mouths, and general anxiety.  This should resolve by the first weekend of the month. Spiritual Neptune turns direct motion on December 9th at the final degree of the zodiac and in its own sign of Pisces.  Along with Saturn in Pisces, Neptune is purging, clearing and washing away anyone or anything that we are not taking with us into the New Year.  Set your intentions around the final New Moon of 2025 on December 19th.  In Sagittarius, both Sun and Moon prompt us to go-big-or-go-home, take a chance and try something new.  Leap and the net will appear. By Christmas Eve, the Sun, Motivating Mars and Valuable Venus are all cycling through reliable Capricorn paving the way for us to build what we seek to create for the long term.  This is incredibly constructive and productive energy as we turn the page into a brand new year!   To reach Hilary Harley: www.hilaryharley.com http://www.hilaryharley.com/ Hilary@hilaryharley.com Facebook:  hilary harley. https://www.facebook.com/hilary.harley.3 hilary harley astrology https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057501487642  holistic healing https://www.facebook.com/hilaryharley714 Instagram:  hilary.harley https://www.instagram.com/hilary.harley

deslizamiento sobre el hielo recién pulido.En: It was an autumn afternoon in the southern hemisphere, and the air was filled with murmurs and laughter as families and friends enjoyed gliding over the

Technicians don't lose the call because of price. They lose it because they solve too fast. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and Brandon Cockrell break down why techs jump straight to the fix — and why that instinct backfires with homeowners. When you skip LEAP (Listen, Empathize, Ask Questions, Problem Solve), you end up negotiating, apologizing, discounting… and sometimes even offending the customer. Chris shares the story of getting thrown out of a house for offering financing too quickly — and how to avoid the same mistake. You'll learn: Why "pushing the fix" sounds like begging How LEAP keeps you on the same side of the table The locomotive analogy: your customer hasn't left the station yet Why offering financing too early can blow up in your face How cognitive biases shape every objection How to diagnose people the same way you diagnose systems How to lower the customer's wall instead of trying to remove it This is the communication playbook every technician needs. Slow down, LEAP first, and watch your close rate go up.

Most college-bound teens tend to focus on core English, history, science, and math classes as the keys to the schools of their dreams. Little do they know how important or influential their language studies can be. Amy and Mike invited educator Rachèle DeMeo to explore foreign languages as a superpower in college admissions. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What's the best way for students to make their language proficiency really stand out on a college application, so it doesn't just look like another bullet point?  How can students highlight their language skills on their college applications? How can foreign language knowledge help students skip certain classes in college? How can students weave their language skills into their college experience—whether through study abroad, tutoring, campus jobs, or other opportunities that let them practice and even get paid for it? What are some of the long-term benefits of being bilingual or multilingual—not just for a student's academic journey, but also for their personal growth and future career opportunities? MEET OUR GUEST Rachèle DeMeo was born in Nîmes, in the south of France, and raised in a multicultural family with American, British, and Italian roots. Growing up bilingual, she developed a deep love for languages and cultures, which set the stage for her lifelong mission: helping others discover the power of languages. After earning her French Baccalaureate in languages, philosophy, and literature, she moved to the United States, where she completed a B.A. in Christian Education, taught French in various institutions, and even worked on Capitol Hill. She later moved to California to teach French at the middle school, high school, and college levels, and went on to earn two Master's degrees and a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, Rachèle has taught everyone from young children to college students and professionals, both in-person and online. She is the founder and president of FLAM San Diego, a nonprofit school that provides French language and culture programs for children across the U.S., and the founder of Belle Terre Academy, which offers online language courses. She is also an author of six (published) books, an educational speaker who trains teachers worldwide, and a YouTuber with a growing community of over 18,000 subscribers. Beyond education, Rachèle is passionate about humanitarian work, having supported refugee and orphan projects around the world. She's also a musician, a lover of travel, and a fan of extreme sports like surfing and snowboarding. Today, she and her husband are raising their two children bilingually, continuing the family tradition of celebrating languages as a bridge between cultures.

For decades, business aviation has advanced in small, predictable steps. Quieter cabins, digital cockpits, incremental gains in fuel efficiency. But real breakthroughs are generational. What Otto Aviation is building may be the most significant leap in private jet design since the invention of the high-bypass turbofan. This isn't another luxury aircraft chasing prestige. It's a reimagining of how far, how fast, and how efficiently a jet can fly. At the center of that transformation is laminar flow: an aerodynamic principle nature has perfected but aviation has struggled to harness.  Until now.  By achieving true laminar flow across both the wing and fuselage, Otto has unlocked a 50% reduction in fuel burn. That creates a cascade of benefits: lighter engines, smaller tanks, reduced maintenance, and dramatically lower operating costs.  For the first time, private aviation could expand beyond the elite few and into a broader market of business travelers. In this episode, CEO of Otto Aviation, Paul Touw, joins me to talk about how laminar flow moved from a theoretical possibility to a practical breakthrough, what it takes to bring a billion-dollar clean-sheet aircraft to market, and how this technology could reshape the economics of flight for decades to come.   You'll also learn; Why laminar flow is the biggest aerodynamic breakthrough since the 707 How Otto's design rewrites aircraft economics, cutting weight, fuel, and maintenance while extending range and performance. Why flying higher delivers radical efficiency and passenger comfort. How stealth-era manufacturing and modern computing finally made laminar flow possible. How Otto is minimizing risk by combining in-house final assembly with proven certified systems. How Flexjet's $10B order signals commercial confidence in Otto's clean-sheet aircraft. What it takes to recruit elite engineers from Boeing, Textron, and Gulfstream into a startup building the first new jet of its kind in over a decade. How lessons from XOJet shaped a customer-first approach to designing the next era of business aviation.   Guest Bio Paul Touw is an Engineer, Entrepreneur, and CEO of Otto Aviation. The Otto Aerospace Phantom 3500 is a masterpiece of engineering— utilizing groundbreaking laminar flow technology, digital design tools, and modern manufacturing techniques to achieve unparalleled efficiency, luxury, and environmental stewardship. Designed for leaders, visionaries, and innovators, the Phantom 3500 sets a new standard in private jet flight where performance and sustainability exist in perfect harmony.

The Writing Community Chat Show is proud to bring you insights from the writers dominating the charts. We recently sat down with Pip Landers-Letts, the winner of the prestigious 2025 Kindle Storyteller Award, to discuss her incredible journey from a 15-year career in retail banking to winning one of the UK's biggest literary prizes.The £20,000 Leap of Faith.For fifteen years, Pip Landers-Letts navigated the structured world of retail banking. But underneath the suits and spreadsheets, a powerful story was waiting to be told. Pip's shift from the stability of a corporate career to the uncertainty of a full-time author is the epitome of the creative leap many writers dream of—and fear.In our interview, Pip shared the pivotal decision to step away from the bank, admitting she didn't know who she was without that career. Writing, however, quickly became the spark she needed.“I owed it to myself to invest in the thing that brought me back to life.”This commitment to her craft—spending nine months meticulously rewriting and learning the rules after a fast first draft—is a vital lesson for anyone considering the pivot to professional writing.Choosing Indie: The Power of Creative Control.Pip's success story isn't just about winning an award; it's a monumental win for self-publishing. She made a conscious decision to forego the traditional route, choosing instead to publish independently via Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).For Pip, this choice was essential for maintaining creative control and ensuring authentic representation. Her book, Pyg, is a queer retelling of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Having grown up feeling a “drought of sapphic representation in mainstream media,” self-publishing provided the direct platform she needed to share nuanced, relatable stories without waiting for permission from traditional “gatekeepers.” This path champions the idea that diverse voices don't need validation from the establishment to find their audience.Pyg and the Art of Reclaiming Your Life.The winning novel, Pyg, is a high-heeled burst of chaos and transformation. Inspired partly by her own life milestone and the feeling of being lost when you're supposed to have it figured out, Pip describes the book as a story about “getting a grip of your life—letting go of the bad stuff to create space for the good.” It explores themes of kindness, compassion, and radical self-acceptance.Pip credits the success of Pyg partly to the lessons learned while writing her first novel, where she realized the necessity of mastering the craft. The resulting work captivated readers and judges alike, leading to the unprecedented success of winning the £20,000 prize.Buy PYG here.The Validation of a Lifetime.The £20,000 Kindle Storyteller Award celebrates the best self-published book of the year, blending bestseller rankings and reader reviews with the opinions of a distinguished judging panel. For Pip, the award served as a powerful antidote to a common affliction: imposter syndrome.“Winning the Kindle Storyteller Award has given me a huge shot of validation... What an honour to be recognised for the thing I love doing the most—writing!”The prize money itself is earmarked as a crucial investment in her burgeoning writing career, securing her place in the industry she was always meant to join. Her story proves that investing in yourself, trusting your voice, and choosing the path of creative independence can lead to the highest level of industry recognition.Watch or Listen to the Full Interview!Don't miss the full conversation with Pip Landers-Letts on her award, her book, and her tips for aspiring authors.The Writing Community Chat Show is ranked in the top 10 writing podcasts in the UK, bringing you over 360 interviews with bestsellers, celebrities, and indie authors.Watch the full interview on our YouTube channel:Podcast LinkListen to the full audio episode wherever you get your podcasts:Listen on Spreaker (The Writing Community Chat Show Podcast)Join our brand new community on our Stanstore!
