What happens when a qualified attorney swaps legal briefs for luxury hospitality? You get Claudia Gerber, the 32-year-old powerhouse behind the Elton Boutique Hotel in Durban North. In this Women Crush Wednesday chat, Carol sits down with Claudia to talk about building a family business from the ground up, honoring her late brother Alton through every detail of the hotel, and why pivoting from law to hotel ownership was the best decision she ever made. They also get into what it's really like working with family, the beauty of being proudly African, and exciting news — the Elton brand is expanding to Newcastle in 2027. If you're a young person wondering whether to take the leap, Claudia's advice is simple: get your foot in the door and work your way up. Hard work always finds its home.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse changed superhero storytelling forever. Years later, revisiting this movie before the premiere of Spider-Man Noir, it somehow hit even harder. From Miles Morales becoming Spider-Man, to Peter B. Parker's painfully human portrayal of depression, failure, and perseverance, this movie still feels revolutionary. In this episode of Marvel Maniac, we dive into:• Why Spider-Verse was a huge risk in 2018• Peter B. Parker as one of the most relatable Spider-Men ever• Miles Morales and the emotional core of the film• Canon events, incursions, and surprising Multiverse Saga parallels• Spider-Man Noir, Ben Reilly, and why the upcoming series has me excited Plus, I reflect on seeing this movie during a difficult chapter of my life — broke, uncertain, and not realizing this film would stay with me for years. Because maybe Spider-Man matters so much to people not because he's perfect… but because he keeps getting back up. Join the Discord below and send your thoughts to: MarvelManiacPod@gmail.com

And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."

Kyle Schlesser left a six-figure finance career, convinced his wife Katie to leave her executive marketing role, and launched Solid Ground Construction in 2019 with nothing but a leap of faith and a neighbor's porch swing job — and the next few years were exactly as humbling as that sounds. Mark and Kyle dig into the white-knuckle years of doing everything himself, the moment he nearly buried the company by refusing to ask for help, and why hiring for your greatest weakness is the hardest and most valuable thing a business owner can do. It's raw, it's real, and it's the kind of conversation that makes you want to text your spouse and say sorry.

In this episode of Life Stories, I sit down with children's author Steph Katzovi to talk about the long road from a childhood dream to a published book series. Steph shares how she knew at just eight years old that she wanted to be a writer and how that dream stayed with her, even through law school and a successful corporate career as a speechwriter.We talk about the leap of faith it took to walk away from stability and step into creativity, especially as a mom. Steph opens up about how her real-life experiences, like struggling with homesickness as a child, inspired her storytelling and shaped the heart behind her books.Steph also shares her passion for helping kids build confidence, navigate friendships, and make positive choices through relatable characters and meaningful stories.

Most practice owners who start their practice as a side hustle, don't struggle because it's not a good model/approach. They struggle because it when it really starts working, and they don't know when they can safely stop splitting their time, cast away the employment safety net, and do a cannonball into full-time practice ownership. (I used to be a springboard diver so I'm always pumped when I can make a diving reference) In this episode, you'll hear a real conversation inside my Mastermind with a practice owner who hit her first five-figure month while still only working part-time in her side hustle.

Transcript:No: I hjertet av Oslo, i en park kjent for sine monumentale skulpturer og frodige vårgrønner, danset lyse farger rundt mens påskesolen skinte høyt på himmelen.En: In the heart of Oslo, in a park known for its monumental sculptures and lush spring greens, light colors danced around while the Easter sun shone high in the sky.No: Vigeland Park var fylt med liv denne påsken.En: Vigeland Park was filled with life this Easter.No: Barn lo, voksne vandret blant kunsten, og en maler preget plassen med sine frie linjer og dristige penselstrøk.En: Children laughed, adults wandered among the art, and a painter marked the place with free lines and bold brushstrokes.No: Midt i denne vrimlen sto Eirik, nervene vibrerende som en stram gitarstreng.En: In the midst of this bustle stood Eirik, nerves vibrating like a taut guitar string.No: Ved siden av ham, Gjertrud, med sitt lette smil og ivrige blikk.En: Next to him, Gjertrud, with her light smile and eager gaze.No: Hennes kjærlighet til kunst var kjent, mens Eirik knapt kunne skille en malerpensel fra en tannbørste.En: Her love of art was well known, while Eirik could barely tell a paintbrush from a toothbrush.No: Eirik hadde en plan denne dagen.En: Eirik had a plan this day.No: Han ønsket å imponere Gjertrud, prøve å vise henne at han kunne forstå og sette pris på kunsten hun holdt så kjær.En: He wanted to impress Gjertrud, try to show her that he could understand and appreciate the art she held so dear.No: Kanskje det ville være nok til å be henne på en date.En: Maybe it would be enough to ask her on a date.No: Men, hvordan i alle dager skulle han klarte det?En: But, how on earth was he going to manage that?No: "Se, Eirik," sa Gjertrud og pekte mot den fargerike gatekunstneren som hektisk malte en levende scene på et stort lerret.En: "Look, Eirik," said Gjertrud, pointing to the colorful street artist fervently painting a lively scene on a large canvas.No: "Der er noe du ikke ser hver dag.En: "That's something you don't see every day."No: "Eirik smilte sjenert, prøvde å spille med, men så var det noe som fanget kunstnerens øye.En: Eirik smiled shyly, tried to play along, but then something caught the artist's eye.No: Plutselig ropte hun til Eirik: "Du!En: Suddenly, she called out to Eirik: "You!No: Kom hit!En: Come here!"No: "Før han visste ordet av det, sto Eirik ved kvinnens side.En: Before he knew it, Eirik was standing by the woman's side.No: Hun mumlet på engelsk, energisk og nesten uforståelig.En: She mumbled in English, energetically and almost incomprehensibly.No: "Du vil være med på prosjektet mitt, ikke sant?En: "You want to be part of my project, right?"No: ""Ja, selvsagt," stammet Eirik, uten helt å forstå hva han hadde sagt ja til.En: "Yes, of course," stammered Eirik, not quite understanding what he had agreed to.No: Han så bort på Gjertrud, som så forundret og fascinert på ham.En: He glanced over at Gjertrud, who looked at him, amazed and fascinated.No: Hun var hans publikums eneste medlem, og det var all den oppmuntringen han trengte.En: She was his only audience member, and that was all the encouragement he needed.No: Kunstneren plukket opp en seng av fargerike malingbokser og, med et glimt i øyet, ba Eirik stå stille.En: The artist picked up a set of colorful paint cans and, with a glint in her eye, asked Eirik to stand still.No: Før han kunne protestere, ble han overskylt med en kaskade av livlige farger.En: Before he could protest, he was drenched in a cascade of vibrant colors.No: Malingen fløt nedover fra hodet, nedover skuldrene, overrasket munterheten til de forbipasserende som stoppet for å beundre synet.En: The paint flowed down from his head, over his shoulders, surprising the merriment of passersby who stopped to admire the sight.No: Eirik sto der, dekket i en fargerik regnbue, og latteren runget rundt ham.En: Eirik stood there, covered in a colorful rainbow, and laughter echoed around him.No: Blikket hans møtte Gjertruds øyne.En: His gaze met Gjertrud's eyes.No: Hun lo ikke fra noen vond hensikt, men med en åpen hjertelighet som smittet til ham.En: She wasn't laughing with any ill intent, but with an open-heartedness that was infectious to him.No: Gjertrud klappet og ropte ut: "Det var fantastisk, Eirik!En: Gjertrud clapped and shouted out: "That was amazing, Eirik!No: For en forestilling!En: What a performance!"No: " Hun gikk mot ham, og før han visste ordet av det, holdt hun hånden hans.En: She walked toward him, and before he knew it, she held his hand.No: "Kanskje vi kan utforske mer sammen, men kanskje uten malingsbad neste gang?En: "Maybe we can explore more together, but perhaps without a paint bath next time?"No: "Eirik, fortsatt dryppende av maling og litt forlegen, kunne bare nikke begeistret.En: Eirik, still dripping with paint and a bit embarrassed, could only nod enthusiastically.No: "Gjerne," sa han og så direkte i hennes øyne.En: "I'd love that," he said, looking directly into her eyes.No: "Men jeg lover, ingen flere kunstneriske ulykker.En: "But I promise, no more artistic mishaps."No: "De gikk videre gjennom parken, hånd i hånd, og Eirik hadde lært mer enn bare skulpturene rundt dem.En: They continued through the park, hand in hand, and Eirik had learned more than just about the sculptures around them.No: Han lærte at autentisitet, og de uforutsigbare vendingene i livet, kunne også male et godt inntrykk.En: He learned that authenticity, and the unpredictable turns of life, could also paint a good impression.No: Det uventede ble hans mest verdifulle kunstverk den dagen.En: The

Story Transcript:It: Nel cuore di Firenze, sotto il cielo azzurro di una mattina primaverile, il mercato era in pieno fermento.En: In the heart of Firenze, under the blue sky of a spring morning, the market was in full swing.It: I venditori sollevavano le loro voci sopra il chiacchiericcio della folla, cercando di attirare l'attenzione dei passanti.En: The vendors raised their voices above the chatter of the crowd, trying to attract the attention of passersby.It: Tra di loro, Giovanni stava nel suo piccolo banco, le mani appoggiate sui suoi manufatti.En: Among them, Giovanni stood at his small stall, his hands resting on his handmade creations.It: Gravava su di lui la preoccupazione di guadagnare abbastanza soldi per partecipare alla Messa di Pasqua nella grande cattedrale.En: He was burdened by the worry of earning enough money to attend the Easter Mass in the grand cathedral.It: Giovanni era un abile artigiano.En: Giovanni was a skilled artisan.It: I suoi oggetti erano splendidi: anelli d'argento, collane di perle, braccialetti intrecciati.En: His items were splendid: silver rings, pearl necklaces, braided bracelets.It: Eppure, le monete nel suo sacchetto erano poche.En: Yet, the coins in his pouch were few.It: Ogni tanto, alzava gli occhi, sperando di vedere Isabella, la nobile giovane dalle vesti eleganti che spesso passeggiava per il mercato.En: Occasionally, he would look up, hoping to see Isabella, the noble young lady with elegant garments who often strolled through the market.It: Ammirava la sua grazia da lontano, sognando che un giorno avrebbe scelto una delle sue creazioni.En: He admired her grace from a distance, dreaming that one day she would choose one of his creations.It: Accanto a lui, Luca chiamava i clienti verso le sue merci con entusiasmo contagioso.En: Next to him, Luca called customers to his goods with contagious enthusiasm.It: Anche se era occupato con i suoi affari, non mancava mai di incoraggiare Giovanni.En: Even though he was busy with his affairs, he never failed to encourage Giovanni.It: "Non perderti d'animo, amico," gli diceva Luca.En: "Don't lose heart, my friend," Luca would say.It: "Il mercato è volubile, ma oggi è un giorno di festa.En: "The market is fickle, but today is a festive day.It: La fortuna potrebbe bussare alla tua porta."En: Luck might knock on your door."It: Mentre le campane della cattedrale risuonavano in lontananza, segnando l'inizio della Messa di Pasqua, Giovanni sentì un tormento crescere dentro di sé.En: As the cathedral bells sounded in the distance, marking the start of the Easter Mass, Giovanni felt a turmoil growing within him.It: Avrebbe dovuto restare per vendere i suoi prodotti o seguire il desiderio di partecipare alla messa?En: Should he stay to sell his products or follow the desire to attend the mass?It: La sua mente era un tumulto di pensieri.En: His mind was a tumult of thoughts.It: Alle sue orecchie, la musica e i rumori del mercato si confondevano in un ronzio indistinto.En: To his ears, the music and noise of the market blended into a indistinct hum.It: All'improvviso, il suono delle campane parve chiarirsi, come un segno inevitabile.En: Suddenly, the sound of the bells seemed to become clear, like an inevitable sign.It: Con un respiro profondo, Giovanni prese una decisione audace.En: With a deep breath, Giovanni made a bold decision.It: Chiuse il suo banco e, lasciandosi alle spalle la possibilità di ulteriori vendite, si diresse di corsa verso la cattedrale.En: He closed his stall and, leaving behind the possibility of further sales, hurried towards the cathedral.It: La cattedrale era maestosa, illuminata dai raggi del sole che filtravano attraverso le vetrate.En: The cathedral was majestic,

Today's guest is Molly Irani, co-founder and chief culture officer of the award-winning Chai Pani Restaurant Group in Asheville, North Carolina, and author of the new book, “Service Ready: A Story of Love, Restaurants, and the Power of Hospitality.” Back in 2009, Molly and her husband, Meherwan, were facing an uncertain future during the financial crisis when he proposed something unexpected: opening an Indian street food restaurant. Molly was shocked, but, ever the optimist, she ultimately said yes. Her leap of faith changed everything. Molly joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about what it really took to get Chai Pani off the ground, including writing a business plan detailed enough to win over landlords, navigating financial risk, and learning the realities of restaurant life on the fly. They also dive into Molly's new book and the lessons she's learned about leadership, resilience, and building a people-first business.  This interview was recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center.

Happy Spring everyone! And Aries season/ Zodiac New Year! All the things, I wish you a brilliant one. I'm back with a solo episode as a send off before I hit the skies and take my Nomadic journeys abroad. I plan to record solo episodes weekly once I get my bearings being on a new continent and different country. It will be an adventure and I want to take you along with me as I go. First...I want to share my story of taking the leap and learning to trust in the MAGIC.  On this guest episode I share a LOT of quotes all echoing the sentiment of TAKING THE LEAP OF FAITH. LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR.  Doing the thing that scares you, the thing will be hard because it will be WORTH it. And truly the hardest thing isn't going after your dreams, it's giving up on them. Taking the risk, doing the thing even though there are risks and it might be difficult. It will be worth it and could very well change your life.

In this episode Jerry and Stably discussed Leap of Faith by Michael J. Mazarr. Mazarr, a RAND Corporation scholar, draws on every available memoir, declassified document, and interviews with senior administration officials to dissect how the United States stumbled into the Iraq War. His central argument is that there was never really a decision — the invasion happened through a process of drift, assumption, and institutional momentum, with no memo ever formally ordering it. Jerry and Stably walked through Mazarr's typology of the principals — Bush and Wolfowitz as values-driven, Cheney and Rumsfeld as power-oriented unilateralists, and Powell and Rice as multilateralists — and how their clashing psychologies at every turn undermined coherent planning. They discussed how the easy initial victory in Afghanistan gave the administration a dangerously false sense of what a small-footprint war could accomplish, Saddam's catastrophic misreading of American intentions, and the near-total absence of any post-invasion plan. The conversation turned to the eerie parallels with the current situation in Iran, and whether the lessons Mazarr draws — about American missionary zeal and intuitive, values-driven foreign policy judgment — are simply baked in.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!How do you know when an inner prompting is truly guidance — and when it is illusion? In this intimate dialogue, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal explore the challenge of spiritual discernment: learning to trust your spiritual senses without abandoning realism, reason, or common sense. What does it mean to follow an inner call responsibly? How do you test intuition against experience, wisdom, and the counsel of others?Drawing from lived experience — including Jerry's hearing of the “God voice,” their shared leap into marriage, and Abigail's reflections in A Good Look at Evil and Confessions of a Young Philosopher — they consider how faith and practical wisdom must work together. Faith is not unrealism. It is not a shortcut. Nor is it blind emotion. Instead, it is a disciplined attentiveness to the deeper currents of your life, guided by both sincerity and discernment.The conversation widens into a larger question: What story are you living? And what is your ideal story? Abigail reflects on the idea that God is not a distant abstraction but a Player — with a capital P — in the unfolding drama of your life. To live spiritually is not to withdraw from reality but to engage it more fully, with courage, humility, and intellectual honesty.If you have ever wondered how to distinguish true guidance from impulse, how to balance faith and reason, or how to bring your actual life closer to your ideal life, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded exploration of divine guidance, inner calling, and life as a story.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, A Good Look at EvilShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

EP 138: "A Leap Of Faith, Chelsea's Altruistic Kidney Donation Journey"   Episode Summary Chelsea McNicholas, a Hospital Partnership Liaison with Network for Hope, joins This Thing Called Life to share how a social media post and her faith led her to become an altruistic kidney donor for a Child. Chelsea recounts starting the testing process after hearing about a friend's mother's need. Although she was not a match, it led her to another post about a child's need for a kidney, so she continued the testing. Ultimately, she was not needed because that child found a donor.  She walks us through her personal journey, the emotional and logistical realities of altruistic donation, and why community education about organ, tissue, and eye donation matters. Hear a personal, hopeful story that demystifies donation and inspires listeners to learn how they can help save lives. Episode Highlights Host Andi Johnson welcomes listeners and introduces guest Chelsea McNicholas, a dedicated advocate for organ donation and a valued member of the team at Network for Hope. Chelsea shares her professional background in healthcare and explains how becoming a mother helped inspire her decision to transition into her role with Network for Hope, where she could make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. As a Hospital Partnership Liaison, Chelsea explains that her work centers on building and maintaining strong relationships with hospital teams to ensure the organ donation process is handled with care, compassion, and efficiency. She describes the unique dual advocacy role she plays—supporting both hospital partners and the Network for Hope team throughout the donation process to ensure every step honors the donor and their family. Chelsea discusses her day-to-day responsibilities, which include hospital education, policy updates, compliance support, and continuous follow-up to strengthen collaboration between healthcare teams and the donation network. The conversation highlights how strong hospital partnerships are essential to ensuring successful donation outcomes and providing families with compassionate support during difficult moments. Chelsea shares some of the challenges of her role, particularly when unexpected issues arise within hospital systems. In those moments, creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving become essential. She praises the leadership at Network for Hope for fostering a supportive culture that empowers team members to think innovatively and find solutions that best serve donors, recipients, and healthcare partners. Andi and Chelsea reflect on the fulfillment that comes from working alongside passionate colleagues who are united by a shared mission to save and improve lives through donation. The conversation also addresses the scrutiny and misinformation that can sometimes surround organ donation. Chelsea emphasizes the importance of transparency, education, and trust in maintaining strong relationships with hospitals and the public. They discuss the important role donation ambassadors play in sharing personal stories that build understanding and confidence in the donation process. Chelsea then shares her deeply personal journey as a living donor. Before working in the field, she had little direct connection to organ donation until she began seeing social media posts from former classmates searching for kidney donors. Moved by their stories, Chelsea began exploring the possibility of becoming a donor herself. She describes the emotional and physical process of testing and waiting to see if she would be a match. Faith played a central role in her decision, along with the encouragement and support she received from her family. Chelsea recounts the powerful moment she met Reed, the young man who would ultimately receive her kidney, and learned more about the health challenges he and his family had faced due to kidney failure. She reflects on the emotional experience of donation surgery and the immediate bond formed between her and Reed's family. Chelsea also discusses the recovery process for both herself and Reed, highlighting the strength, faith, and support systems that carried them through the journey. Today, Chelsea continues to stay connected with Reed and his family, witnessing firsthand the life-changing impact of living donation. She shares how the experience has shaped conversations with her own children, teaching them the importance of compassion, generosity, and helping others whenever possible. The episode concludes with Andi expressing deep admiration for Chelsea's courage, compassion, and dedication to the mission of organ donation—recognizing her as both an advocate and a source of hope for many families. Key Takeaways Organ Donation Is Built on Trust and Relationships Strong partnerships between hospitals, donation organizations, and families are essential to ensuring the donation process is handled with compassion, integrity, and respect. One Person's Courage Can Transform Multiple Lives Chelsea's decision to become a living kidney donor demonstrates how a single act of generosity can profoundly impact not only a recipient but their entire family. Personal Stories Inspire Awareness and Action Sharing real experiences helps break through misinformation and encourages others to learn more about organ donation and consider how they might make a difference. Tweetable Quotes “We are the glue that holds the process together. I believe that our team is kind of a dual advocate in the donation process. “ Chelsea McNicholas “When things go awry at a hospital, that is challenging because the work is not flawless. The work is never done, if you will. So there are always challenges that arise. “ Chelsea McNicholas “I think it leans back into that strong relationship and strong trust. So knowing the truth right, like we know the truth right, and we have strong relationships with our hospitals to the point where they trust us. We've built that culture of trust and connection with our partners.”  Chelsea McNicholas “So I think again, a great opportunity for me to be an advocate and to educate people in my circle, my husband, and my entire family, was incredibly supportive.” Chelsea McNicholas “I think when I can look back on my life, faith was the foundation through every step and every decision, maybe in the moment, not as easy to see, but now looking back, I can absolutely identify that.” Chelsea McNicholas “It's really wild to think that a part of me is living on and someone else, and that most days I completely forgot I even did it, because I am right back to where I was, you know, five months ago, prior to the surgery.” Chelsea McNicholas Resources: Donatelifeky.org https://getoffthelist.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/about-us/ https://www.networkforhope.org/stories-of-hope/ https://www.facebook.com/NetworkForHopeOPO https://www.youtube.com/@NetworkforHope. https://aopo.org/ RegisterMe.org/NetworkforHope

Christian existentialism is a Theo-philosophical movement which takes an existentialist approach to Christian theology. The school of thought is often traced back to the work of the Danish philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) who is widely regarded as the father of existentialism — a family of philosophical views and inquiry that explore the human individual's struggle to lead an authentic life despite the apparent absurdity or incomprehensibility of existence.

Feeling like the wheels are coming off your life—or the world? The Year of the Fire Horse is here, and the old paradigm is dissolving fast. For some, it feels like rock bottom. For others, a slow unraveling. This week, Lacy and Jessica unpack the collective stripping, ego deaths, and visibility fears rising to the surface—and why this acceleration is actually a portal into your most authentic self. If you've been stuck in perfectionism, burned out by optimization culture, or clear on your purpose but unable to move, this episode unpacks what's happening beneath the surface. Through the lens of TBM tools, human design, Chinese astrology, and nervous system regulation, they explain why hustle, formulas, and “matrix authenticity” won't carry you into the new paradigm—but why a more aligned, authentic approach will. This season isn't about fear. It's about releasing what no longer fits so something truer can emerge. The real question is: are you ready to stop performing and step into your true purpose?

Send a textSeason three opens with a candid, funny, and deeply human conversation that spans leadership change, end-of-life care, family milestones, and the surprising ways a poultry podcast can move people. Brandon shares what “managing up” looked like through a leadership transition at Prism Controls—how learning a new boss's values and cadence sharpened communication and trust over time. Emily takes the mic to unpack her shift from a high-intensity med-surg unit to hospice nursing at a level one trauma center, showing how empathy, presence, and dignity can transform even the hardest days. Together, we reflect on a 25-year marriage, a long-running remodel that turned project management into a domestic art form, and the bittersweet edges of the empty-nest season.We also pull back the curtain on the show's direction: more farm stories from industry legends and rising talent, because the generational arcs, pivots, and practical wisdom inside those barns teach better than any playbook. Brandon recalls a faith-forward moment on stage—“I matter because I'm a child of God”—and how it ignited deeper conversations and personal accountability to live what he says. Then we travel to Guatemala, where a simple yes led to a 4,000-bird ministry farm, an Egg A Day approach to feed mountain communities, and a plan to scale layers where jaguars make backyard flocks impossible. Eggs become logistics, nutrition, and hope—proof that operations and compassion can align.Finally, we keep AI grounded. Brandon uses transcripts from one-on-ones to audit his own leadership patterns and turn blind spots into follow-through. On farms, he frames AI as decision support: spotting subtle flock deviations, correlating storms, feed changes, and performance so producers can act faster with confidence. It's not about replacing people; it's about freeing them to be more human. Alongside this, there's a spring triathlon on the calendar—because physical grit fuels clear thinking and long-term leadership.Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves farm stories, and leave a review with the one insight you're taking into work this week. Want to be a guest or nominate a quiet, generational farm? Reach out—we're building season three around your stories.Hosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com

Send us a textPerhaps the most painful and disturbing episode of Industry yet, this episode asks uncomfortable questions about the way easy access --- whether it be to high finance, drugs, or illicit content online --- reduces human experience to abstraction in a way that causes us all to be disassociated from our own lives. We see shifts in power in the C-suite at Tender that transform our triangles of love and control. Yasmin's position becomes nominally elevated, and she advocates for Hayley's promotion, but is ultimately left wondering who's manipulating whom in their relationship. And while she thought she was at the head of the love triangle with Hayley and Henry, we start to suspect that the real love triangle exists instead between the Mucks and Whitney, with Whitney at the helm. Whitney has also figured out how to maneuver Henry into effectively doing his bidding, helping him successfully navigate the launch of Tender's new app. Also, Pierpoint is back, and we get into the finer points of convertible bond issuance vs. "cocos". Finally, we see the paths of Jim Dycker and Rishi take a dark turn and ultimately collide. An off-the-cuff remark made by Dycker in the opening seconds about philosopher Soren Kierkegaard comes home to roost as these characters confront dark truths about themselves, culminating in a "leap of faith" that leaves us all hanging on the edge of our seats.Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

A quiet question in a dark basement changed everything. George Cisneros went from Sunday routines and Broncos games to selling it all, moving his family to Guatemala, adopting five siblings, and building a boys' academy anchored in daily Scripture. The path wasn't polished—no sending agency, no perfect plan—just a hard yes and a habit of showing up when it mattered most.We walk through the moment that sparked his calling, the year of praying a single sentence that reordered his priorities, and the trip that revealed a different kind of wealth in the worship of children who had little but gratitude. George shares the surprising realities of independent missions, how his church supported faithfully if modestly, and why a small village school with an hour of Bible each morning may be the most strategic lever for shaping future husbands, fathers, and leaders in Guatemala. His approach to Scripture—reading for width and depth—offers a practical map for anyone ready to move beyond skimming and into study that sticks.We also dig into the family's adoption story, the decision to keep siblings together against the odds, and what endurance sports taught him about long obedience under thin air. If you're exploring missions, George offers clear steps: get biblically grounded, put your house and finances in order, practice evangelism now, and build trust through a consistent newsletter. He even opens the playbook on fundraising that raised $140K in seven days from a small but engaged list. Warm, candid, and full of field-tested wisdom, this conversation invites you to trade hesitation for a faithful next step.If this story stirred something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—your support helps more listeners find these conversations and take their own step of faith.Let me know what you think of this episode?

Fierce First Step in 2026 PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTLiving in the “Vitality Zone” Requires Conscious Choice and CourageDr. Mishra contrasts the vitality zone—where life feels purposeful, energetic, and engaged—with the surviving, sliding, and burnout zones. Using his experience standing on Iceland's continental divide as a metaphor, he emphasizes that meaningful growth often requires a deliberate leap of faith rather than passive autopilot living.Sleep is the New Frontier for Disease PredictionGroundbreaking AI research (the Sleep Foundation Model) shows that data from a single night of sleep can predict over 130 health conditions, including dementia, heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Sleep is reframed not as passive rest, but as a powerful diagnostic signal for future health.Sleep Functions as a Biological and Metabolic SuperpowerHigh-quality sleep resets metabolism, reduces inflammation, preserves muscle mass, improves cognition, and enhances physical performance. Athletes, professionals, and everyday individuals perform better when sleep is prioritized, making it foundational for both vitality and productivity.Five Evidence-based Principles can Dramatically Improve Sleep QualityThe most impactful strategies are:* Prioritizing sleep regularity over total sleep duration* Using exercise (especially strength training) as a drug-free sleep aid* Executing consistent sleep hygiene (cool, dark room; limited screens/caffeine; calming routines)* Recognizing sleep as a performance enhancer and metabolic reset* Treating sleep data as a validated biomarker for long-term health riskKnowledge only Matters when Turned into ActionEchoing Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Mishra stresses that while knowledge pays dividends, action pays more. The concrete vitality action for the week is simple but powerful: aim for 20 additional minutes of quality sleep per night, combined with moments of stillness, reflection, and self-advocacy to move intentionally toward a more vital life.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.
