Episode: 1760 The Christmas Lectures: Michael Faraday's Gift to children.  Today, the Christmas Lectures.

What does it really look like to follow Jesus completely and wholeheartedly in the new year? Maybe you've felt spiritually complacent or maybe you are seeking Jesus—but you want even more of Him. More intimacy. More obedience. More surrender. More purpose. In today's episode, we're talking about how to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, not through pressure or perfection, but through a daily lifestyle of grace-filled devotion.  Whether you're listening on January 1 or March 1, this conversation is meant to leave you encouraged, stirred, and excited to walk into this season with more of Jesus. As the episode unfolds, we'll go deeper and deeper into what it looks like to live a surrendered, Spirit-led life with Christ. In this episode we talk about:  • Why taking Bible reading SERIOUSLY changes everything • How Christian fellowship brings healing, accountability, and growth • Developing a daily prayer life that's intentional and natural • Learning to pray for God's leading—and how to discern His voice • Trusting that God has purpose for you right where you are • How to fall more in love with Jesus through remembrance • What radical surrender really looks like (decisions, fears, and secret sins) LINKS:  • New Year's Guide: https://mailchi.mp/fbe0f363b092/christianewyear • Get 15% off Hosanna Revival (undated WOOHOO!)

What if the most dangerous hackers are the ones who never touch a keyboard? The real threat isn't just about stolen credentials or ransomware; it's about understanding how attackers think before they even strike. In cybersecurity, defense starts with offense, and the best defenders are those who've walked in the hacker's shoes. In this episode, Ron sits down with John Hammond, principal security researcher at Huntress and one of cybersecurity's most recognizable educators. John shares his journey from Coast Guard enlistee to YouTube creator, building an entire media company around ethical hacking. They dig into the balance between public research and responsible disclosure, the rise of AI-augmented attacks, and why identity is now the biggest attack surface in modern enterprises.

They are created by people who strive to live its teachings and apply gospel-centered principles to real-life family challenges.In this powerful Mom Power training episode, Karen teaches how mothers can become a “secret weapon of light” by staying connected to who they really are: beloved daughters of Heavenly Parents, anchored in Jesus Christ, and capable of standing steady in spiritual battle.Key themes include:Recognizing spiritual warfare and refusing discouragement (“This will never get better.”)Learning to stay by the tree and “hold your field” instead of getting pulled into the enemy's battle spaceThe difference between “me + more” (Satan's lie) vs. “me + Christ = more” (the Savior's truth)Finding peace and power through scripture, prayer, and daily “Mom Power” practicesA real-life story of a mother navigating a painful moment with an adult child—and stopping the spiral with three simple questions:Did I do something wrong?Did they use agency, and did I use mine?Was I following the Spirit?This episode is for moms who feel worn down, discouraged, or afraid—and need a reminder that with Christ, you can stand firm, love well, and keep hope alive even when outcomes aren't immediate.For support and meeting details, visit motherswhoknow.org.

She sold 28 homes her first year, 86 the next, and 145 after that — all while becoming a first-time mom in a chaotic market.But behind the success was exhaustion, fear, and a quiet question many agents are afraid to ask: What does this level of hustle actually cost?In this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon interviews Taley Hunt, a high-producing real estate agent, team leader, and mom who built an extraordinary business during one of the most intense markets in history — while navigating pregnancy, postpartum life, and early motherhood.Taley shares how she entered real estate with no prior industry experience, found out she was pregnant the day she passed her real estate exam, and went on to sell nearly 300 homes in three years. She opens up about the hidden cost of rapid success, including burnout, anxiety, and tying her self-worth to production.Garrett and Taley also dive into how she transitioned from blind hustle to intentional business ownership, why community and human connection matter more than ever in an AI-driven world, and how she now helps moms in real estate build big businesses without sacrificing their families or faith.Connect with Taley:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realestatemomcoach/- Website: https://taleyhunt.com/Key TakeawaysRapid success without boundaries can quietly lead to burnoutHustle alone is not a long-term business strategyMany agents tie self-worth to production without realizing itOrganic growth through relationships and community is powerful and sustainableSocial media and agent referrals can outperform paid leads when done intentionallyHuman connection will matter more — not less — in an AI-driven industryBuilding leverage is essential to protecting family timeDefining success personally is more important than industry benchmarksMoms in real estate need community, not comparisonYou can build a big business without trading your life for itChapters01:21 – Entering Real Estate During the Pandemic03:49 – First Deals, New Motherhood, and No Time Off 05:12 – Fear of Losing Momentum09:05 – Selling 28 Homes with No Childcare 11:03 – Scaling from 28 to 145 Transactions 12:25 – Learning to Leverage Time and Build Support 13:53 – How Social Media & Agent Referrals Built Her Business 16:11 – Teaching Agents to Build Through Community 19:11 – Why Human Connection Beats AI 22:15 – Helping Agents Find Their Niche and People 24:38 – When Production Became Identity 26:37 – Redefining Success and Setting Boundaries

Every time we are asked by God to wait, it comes with a choice. Will we be impatient, frustrated, or irritable, or will we learn to wait with calm assurance that God is in control and the waiting is for my good?Main Points:1. The Bible repeatedly calls for us to wait on the Lord, and to do so patiently. But you might ask, “Why? Why wait? Why would God make us wait? Is there a benefit to waiting? Is there a promised blessing for waiting on God?2. Waiting teaches us that God is in control. He is not bound to our time restraints. When we wait on God we are submitting to His leadership and His lordship. Waiting reminds us that He is God, and we are not.3. Waiting enables us to develop the Christ-like characteristics of patience and perseverance. God often calls for us to slow down so we can listen and learn. Today's Scripture Verses:Lamentations 3:25 - “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.”Psalm 27:14 - “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”Isaiah 40:31 - “those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Grab your tissues and your matcha - we're doing a full 2025 emotional autopsy.Today I'm taking you through my personal year in review: space-cowgirl birthday parties, devastating loss, AI-induced mental glitches, and finally learning how to stop abandoning myself in relationships. This was one of the most plot twist-filled years I've ever had - like WTF happened?!Themes from the episode:The Cape Town summer that was pure lightning in a bottle - and why watching my entire friend group simultaneously couple up while I navigated complex relational issues sent me into an existential spiral about missing invisible boats.Setting the container and having THE scary conversation - how I stopped swallowing feelings to avoid looking "too sensitive," ugly-cried through total honesty, and learned that vulnerability won't actually kill you (even when your nervous system disagrees).When my friends passed in a rafting accident and grief rewired everything - and how loss demolishes your understanding of what actually matters.The AI creativity binge that nearly broke my brain - what happens when you're alone with no friends, no language skills, and only ChatGPT validating your 47th brand iteration until everything you're obsessed with feels boring and nothing matters anymore (scary AF)Maturity as staying put instead of booking another escape flight - why I'm extending in Lima, joining local studios, and forcing myself to deal with shit instead of using travel as emotional avoidance (growth! so sexy!).My 2025 was an invitation to stop performing identities that don't fit me anymore, start saying what I mean, befriending my demons, and contemplating my 200 year plan. Let's spiral together :)Connect with Chelsea:

This episode gets raw. I open up about the parts of my story I've avoided saying out loud—how privilege, anger, and trauma shaped me, how addiction escalated, and what it actually took to hit bottom. We talk about the stories we tell ourselves, the price of living as a victim, and the moment everything shifted: ownership. This one is about truth, forgiveness, and finally choosing to build a life on purpose.Key Highlights:- Podcasting as a “time capsule” of who you were and who you're becoming- The hidden weight of childhood identity, entitlement, and anger- A major trauma that quietly fueled years of self-destruction- Addiction as a cover-up for pain you refuse to sit with- Rock bottom: burned bridges, no safety net, and forced surrender- The “closet season”: rebuilding from nothing with humility and discipline- The real shift: extreme ownership vs. victim stories- Letting go of results and committing to the process- Learning to live for your life—not other people's opinionsCore Takeaways:- You don't heal by hiding the story—you heal by telling the truth- Pain becomes poison when you avoid it; it becomes fuel when you face it- The story you repeat isn't always the real story- Surrender isn't weakness—it's the start of freedom- Your next chapter starts when you stop seeking permissionThe message is simple: construct your life based on what's true for you—not what anyone else expects, not what you're trying to prove, and not the story you've been using to survive. Get married to the process. Get divorced from the results.

Some years offer more than others from a learning standpoint and we can both say that 2025 was probably our biggest learning year to date. Learning is not always easy, it is often uncomfortable, and the lessons almost always come at very bad times. But we are grateful to learn them, grow from them, and evolve as people. In this episode, we reflect on our year and what we are taking forward as we celebrate turning a new calendar page into 2026.

Learning to have my own back is the most powerful thing I've ever done for myself, which is why I'm bringing back this essential episode as we head into the new year. Many women internalize their mistakes, leading to a spiral of shameful thoughts that can be very draining. But how can we shut that down? If we bully ourselves, then we're not safe with ourselves, and we're not safe anywhere. You deserve that essential safety. In this episode, I'll help you identify the bullying voice in your head and shut it down. Here's what I cover:How to recognize the internal bully in your own voice and why certain “questions” are actually accusationsWhy being unsafe with yourself creates shame spirals that drain hours of your time and energyA powerful reframe using your younger self to stop self-bullying before it takes overTwo practical ways to shut down the brain bully: the hard pass and loving engagementHow having your own back makes it possible to take risks, try new things, and live with more freedomFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Send us a textAI-native ERP systems are rapidly reshaping the enterprise software landscape by challenging long-standing assumptions about how ERPs are selected, implemented, and evolved over time. As AI becomes embedded directly into configuration, development, and daily workflows, practices once viewed as risky—such as extensive customization, rapid iteration, or even building ERP capabilities in-house—are becoming increasingly viable. Rising commercial software costs are further forcing executives to revisit the traditional buy-versus-build calculus, particularly as AI-first platforms promise faster deployments, more adaptable architectures, and experiences tailored to specific operating models. However, the category remains early, raising critical questions around governance, scalability, reliability, and long-term support. In this context, Everest ERP's AI-first approach offers a practical lens into how AI-native architectures can accelerate time-to-value while redefining what buyers, implementers, and business leaders should expect from ERP systems over the next decade.In this episode, Sam Gupta hosts Sandeep Chopra, co-CEO, Everest, to discuss how AI  impacts ERP strategy for companies.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/your-erp-strategy-is-about-to-break-ai-is-rewriting-the-playbook/Questions for Panelists?

Send us a textStanding at the threshold of a new year, we ask a hard, freeing question: what is mine to hold, and what is mine to let go? We look back on a year of conversations that shaped our hearts, then lean into a fresh practice of healthy detachment that protects, rather than weakens, secure attachment. With Karen Casey's Let Go Now as a guide, we explore how choosing to act instead of react creates the quiet where love grows—and how stepping away from chaos can be the most compassionate move in the room.If you're ready to unhook from other people's storms, honor your limits, and carry a softer, truer strength into 2026, this conversation is your companion.

“Send Coach John a message”Well, it's the last day of 2025 and this little post that I found from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) reminds us about our journey in life. He shares his thoughts: “A message for today … As 2025 comes to a close, take a moment to breathe. You made it through lessons you didn't always notice & strength you didn't always feel. If you're tired, you tried. If you're unsure, you're still becoming. The year ends—but your journey continues.”  The post he shares is from the Quotes Cafe that he shares something from every day. This one is: “As 2025 ends, take a quiet moment to breath. This year held struggles, lessons, and growth you didn't always notice - but you survived it all.  If you're tired, you tried. If you're unsure, you're still becoming.  Let go of what hurt, carry what taught you, and step into 2026 with a calmer heart and quiet hope. The year ends, but your journey continues.” This is a reminder that it's an every day item on my to do list. It's not just for a year. Breathing is always good. Learning lessons is always good. Putting in effort is always good. Find the little moments every day to connect with and build the life you want to build, each and every day you have.

From building LMArena in a Berkeley basement to raising $100M and becoming the de facto leaderboard for frontier AI, Anastasios Angelopoulos returns to Latent Space to recap 2025 in one of the most influential platforms in AI—trusted by millions of users, every major lab, and the entire industry to answer one question: which model is actually best for real-world use cases? We caught up with Anastasios live at NeurIPS 2025 to dig into the origin story (spoiler: it started as an academic project incubated by Anjney Midha at a16z, who formed an entity and gave grants before they even committed to starting a company), why they decided to spin out instead of staying academic or nonprofit (the only way to scale was to build a company), how they're spending that $100M (inference costs, React migration off Gradio, and hiring world-class talent across ML, product, and go-to-market), the leaderboard delusion controversy and why their response demolished the paper's claims (factual errors, misrepresentation of open vs. closed source sampling, and ignoring the transparency of preview testing that the community loves), why platform integrity comes first (the public leaderboard is a charity, not a pay-to-play system—models can't pay to get on, can't pay to get off, and scores reflect millions of real votes), how they're expanding into occupational verticals (medicine, legal, finance, creative marketing) and multimodal arenas (video coming soon), why consumer retention is earned every single day (sign-in and persistent history were the unlock, but users are fickle and can leave at any moment), the Gemini Nano Banana moment that changed Google's market share overnight (and why multimodal models are becoming economically critical for marketing, design, and AI-for-science), how they're thinking about agents and harnesses (Code Arena evaluates models, but maybe it should evaluate full agents like Devin), and his vision for Arena as the central evaluation platform that provides the North Star for the industry—constantly fresh, immune to overfitting, and grounded in millions of real-world conversations from real users. We discuss: The $100M raise: use of funds is primarily inference costs (funding free usage for tens of millions of monthly conversations), React migration off Gradio (custom loading icons, better developer hiring, more flexibility), and hiring world-class talent The scale: 250M+ conversations on the platform, tens of millions per month, 25% of users do software for a living, and half of users are now logged in The leaderboard illusion controversy: Cohere researchers claimed undisclosed private testing created inequities, but Arena's response demolished the paper's factual errors (misrepresented open vs. closed source sampling, ignored transparency of preview testing that the community loves) Why preview testing is loved by the community: secret codenames (Gemini Nano Banana, named after PM Naina's nickname), early access to unreleased models, and the thrill of being first to vote on frontier capabilities The Nano Banana moment: changed Google's market share overnight, billions of dollars in stock movement, and validated that multimodal models (image generation, video) are economically critical for marketing, design, and AI-for-science New categories: occupational and expert arenas (medicine, legal, finance, creative marketing), Code Arena, and video arena coming soon Consumer retention: sign-in and persistent history were the unlock, but users are fickle and earned every single day—"every user is earned, they can leave at any moment" — Anastasios Angelopoulos Arena: https://lmarena.ai X: https://x.com/arena Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Anastasios from Arena and the LM Arena Journey 00:01:36 The Anjney Midha Incubation: From Berkeley Basement to Startup 00:02:47 The Decision to Start a Company: Scaling Beyond Academia 00:03:38 The $100M Raise: Use of Funds and Platform Economics 00:05:10 Arena's User Base: 5M+ Users and Diverse Demographics 00:06:02 The Competitive Landscape: Artificial Analysis, AI.xyz, and Arena's Differentiation 00:08:12 Educational Value and Learning from the Community 00:08:41 Technical Migration: From Gradio to React and Platform Evolution 00:10:18 Leaderboard Delusion Paper: Addressing Critiques and Maintaining Integrity 00:12:29 Nano Banana Moment: How Preview Models Create Market Impact 00:13:41 Multimodal AI and Image Generation: From Skepticism to Economic Value 00:15:37 Core Principles: Platform Integrity and the Public Leaderboard as Charity 00:18:29 Future Roadmap: Expert Categories, Multimodal, Video, and Occupational Verticals 00:19:10 API Strategy and Focus: Doing One Thing Well 00:19:51 Community Management and Retention: Sign-In, History, and Daily Value 00:22:21 Partnerships and Agent Evaluation: From Devon to Full-Featured Harnesses 00:21:49 Hiring and Building a High-Performance Team

In this compelling episode, we explore the unorthodox journey of Dr. Sheldon Greaves, author of 'The Gorrilla Scholar's Handbook'.

He shares his passion for independent learning, the importance of elite thinkers in society, and offers practical tips for research outside traditional academia. Touching on the state of public education, the impact of technology on learning, and the value of honest dialogue, this discussion emphasizes the need to foster critical thinking and independent scholarship in today's challenging times. 00:00 Introduction: Awakening Hearts and Breaking Chains 00:45 Meet Dr. Sheldon Greaves: A Journey of Unconventional Scholarship 03:08 The Inspiration Behind The Gorrilla Scholars Handbook 08:14 The Importance of Reading and Physical Books 16:17 Challenges and Opportunities in Modern Education 28:26 The Role of Honest Dialogue in Bridging Divides 42:52 Accessing Reliable Information in a Misinformed World 53:51 Conclusion: The Joy of Learning and Final Thoughts Website https://guerrillascholar.substack.com/ Social media links https://www.facebook.com/sheldon.greaves/ https://guerrillascholar.substack.com https://bsky.app/profile/guerrillascholar.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheldongreaves/

Most people don’t fail at buying a business because they’re not smart enough.They fail because—without realizing it—they’re setting themselves up to lose before they even begin. In this solo episode of the BOB podcast, Jaryd Krause goes off-script and gets brutally honest about the real reasons people struggle to acquire online businesses, and why these same patterns show up in money, business, and life. This isn’t a tactical “how-to” episode.It’s a mindset reset. Jaryd breaks down the five biggest reasons people fail at buying a business, drawing from his own journey, his work with buyers around the world, and the patterns he sees repeatedly derail otherwise capable people. You’ll learn: Why you don’t need to know how to run or buy a business before acquiring one How “good” advice becomes dangerous when you treat general guidance as personal truth Why most people are mentally unprepared for the acquisition process—even when they have the money How impatience and unrealistic timelines quietly sabotage deals The uncomfortable truth about why wanting a business isn’t enough—and when change only happens out of necessity Jaryd also dives into cultural differences, ambition, pain as a driver of success, and why some people push through every obstacle while others stall indefinitely. This episode is raw, reflective, and unapologetically real.

Zach (first-generation) and Kacie (fifth-generation) Scherler-Abney are ranchers operating Re:Farm and Re:Supply in Cotton and Tillman Counties in southwest Oklahoma, running a cow-calf herd with some stockers while also managing land for others and operating retail stores in Norman, Oklahoma and Wichita Falls, Texas.  In This Episode, We Explore:  - How a personal health scare led them back to the family place and into raising their own food  - Using an autoimmune protocol diet as a catalyst to question food labels and sourcing  - Learning regenerative grazing through books, YouTube, and early hands-on trial and error  - Grazing in a more brittle, variable rainfall environment in southwest Oklahoma and north Texas  - Ultra high-density, non-selective grazing and why recovery time is the key variable for them  - What polywire taught them, and why quality of life and labor forced a change  - Building water systems with HDPE poly pipe, quick couplers, and central lanes for flexibility  - Leasing strategies including Oklahoma state school land (CLO) and BIA tribal land leases  - Transitioning to Halter virtual fencing and what changed in daily management and stress  - How their cattle buying philosophy shifted to phenotype, productivity, and pounds per acre  - Marketing reality checks: balancing direct-to-consumer beef with current sale barn economics  - Why they built brick-and-mortar stores and how non-perishables help stabilize cash flow  - Community-building through retail and sourcing other local products beyond their own beef  Why This Episode Matters  This conversation is a practical look at matching grazing goals to real life, especially when labor, family time, leases, and cash flow are all limiting factors. Zach and Kacie share what worked, what wore them out, what they changed, and how they think about staying flexible without abandoning the core principles that keep land and livestock improving.  Resources Mentioned  - Halter virtual fencing system  - Passon quick couplers  - Oklahoma Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO) grazing leases  - Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) grazing leases  Find Out More  - Instagram | re:farm  - Website | Re:Farm Market  - Facebook | Re:Farm  Looking for Livestock that thrive on grass?  Check out Grass Based GeneticsUpcoming Grazing EventsVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond AgricultureGrazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey

Why do the same relationship struggles keep showing up — passivity, fear of speaking up, emotional shutdown, or attraction to unavailable partners? In this episode, David breaks down how the father wound quietly shapes a man's confidence, emotional capacity, and behavior in relationships. From absent or critical fathers to passive or volatile ones, each imprint leaves a lasting mark on how men lead, love, and handle conflict. You'll learn how unmet needs from childhood create patterns like people-pleasing, fear of criticism, emotional avoidance, and difficulty committing — and why healing this wound isn't about blaming your father, but about reclaiming your inner authority. This episode offers a grounded framework for understanding your patterns, separating the human father from the wound, and beginning the process of fathering yourself with strength, clarity, and compassion.   Key Topics: ⭐ Why Men Keep Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns ⭐ The Father As a Man's First Blueprint ⭐ Understanding the Father Wound and Where It Comes From ⭐ The Ghost Father and the Pain of Emotional Absence ⭐ The Critical Father and the Birth of the Inner Critic ⭐ The Passive Father and the Loss of Direction ⭐ The Dominant Father and a Man's Relationship With Fear and Anger ⭐ "I'm Not Good Enough": The Core Belief Shaping Men's Lives ⭐ Emotional Shutdown and the Struggle to Express Feelings ⭐ How Father Wounds Quietly Sabotage Relationships ⭐ Why Men Seek Validation in Romantic Partners ⭐ Healing the Father Wound by Learning to Father Yourself   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe

In Episode 350 of My EdTech Life, Dr. Alfonso “Fonz” Mendoza sits down with Lindy Hockenbary (LindyHoc), a K–12 EdTech advisor, strategist, and professional learning leader known for helping teachers make technology work for real learning. This conversation goes straight to the issues educators actually face, the “one more thing” overload, AI misconceptions, and how to move beyond AI detectors toward authentic assessments students can't fake. Lindy breaks down how AI literacy fits inside core instruction (not as a separate add-on), why we must redesign assessment to emphasize process over product, and how tools with guardrails + teacher dashboards change what “safe classroom AI use” can look like. You'll also hear why Lindy's work is especially grounded in small and rural schools, where staffing, compliance review, and budget constraints make AI adoption harder, but also more urgent.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction02:05 Lindy Hockenbary's Educational Journey04:57 The Impact of Technology on Education09:19 Changing Mindsets in Education11:00 Integrating AI into Core Curriculum16:42 Redesigning Assessment in the Age of AI23:37 Authenticity in Learning and AI Challenges24:24 Misconceptions About AI in Education25:52 AI Literacy and Compliance in Teaching31:58 The Impact of ChatGPT on Educators36:00 Challenges in Rural Education and AI Adoption40:39 Final Thoughts and Future DirectionsLindy's website: https://www.lindyhoc.com/Make EdTech 100 podcast page: https://www.lindyhoc.com/podcastSponsors ShoutoutThank you to our sponsors: Book Creator, Eduaide.AI, and Peel Back Education for supporting My EdTech Life.Peel Back Education exists to uncover, share, and amplify powerful, authentic stories from inside classrooms and beyond, helping educators, learners, and the wider community connect meaningfully with the people and ideas shaping education today.

We discuss upcoming Sport Pilot and Sport Pilot Instructor PTS changes aligned with MOSAIC, what to expect from the Part 141 Modernization meetings, and why real change takes time even when the FAA is fast-tracking reform. You'll also hear a deep dive into errors found in the Airplane Flying Handbook, including why common ground reference maneuver diagrams can mislead students, and how to better explain wind correction, crabbing, and sight picture in real-world instruction. We close with practical CFI ProTips covering passenger currency, recency of experience tracking, and how to adopt new technology in stages without overwhelming yourself or your students. This is flight training discussed honestly, practically, and from an instructor's perspective — focused on understanding, not just passing checkrides.

Sefer V'Ani Tamid Imach- Part 12 (The joy in learning Torah) by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

What happens when your soul knows the plan, but your mind wants certainty? In this episode, I sit down with Heather Posey-Ware to explore healing across lifetimes, guilt, abandonment wounds, and why we test love when we do not feel worthy of receiving it. Together, we talk about listening to the soul's voice, choosing yourself even when it is uncomfortable, and understanding that your struggles are not failures but powerful invitations to grow. This episode is a reminder that healing asks for honesty, self compassion, and the courage to trust what your heart already knows.
