Today's guest is my good friend Jason Illian, Co-Founder @ Highmount Capital.  Jason returns to the show for a meaningful conversation about faith, fatherhood, leadership, and living with eternal purpose.  We explore how Jason integrates ministry into his home and family life, using sports as a vehicle to teach character and faith. He shares how he and his wife intentionally guide their children through social pressures, technology, and success, and how his approach to leadership, both at home and in business, is grounded in biblical truth. Together, we unpack what it means to lead a family, resist cultural distractions, and build a legacy that lasts beyond material success. We discuss: How Jason uses sports and family life as everyday ministry The challenges of parenting in a tech-saturated world Why true leadership requires being both prophet, priest, and king The cultural impact of Dude Perfect and the rise of faith-driven media How to shift from chasing empires to leaving lasting legacies Links: Dude Perfect Highmount Capital Jason on X Support our Sponsors: Collateral Partners: https://collateral.com/fort Vesto: https://www.vesto.com/fort Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:03:07) - Balancing family and ministry (00:04:02) - Raising intentional kids (00:12:10) - The role of fathers in spiritual leadership (00:18:23) - Navigating technology and social media (00:39:38) - Dude Perfect's positive influence (00:43:17) - The revival of good content (00:44:43) - Fear and cultural moments (00:45:50) - The role of Christians in society (00:49:09) - Hope for the future (00:50:29) - Leaving a legacy vs. building an empire (00:51:07) - Making intentional choices (00:54:34) - The importance of accountability (01:02:21) - The eternal perspective (01:12:09) - The impact of truth and integrity (01:19:40) - Final thoughts and encouragement Chris on Social Media: Chris on X: https://x.com/fortworthchris Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepowerspodcast/   Watch POWERS on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3oynxNX Visit our website: https://www.powerspod.com/ Leave a review on Apple: https://bit.ly/45crFD0 Leave a review on Spotify: https://bit.ly/3Krl9jO POWERS is produced by https://www.johnnypodcasts.com/

In this episode, I dive into one of the toughest aspects of running a membership business: spotting the signs that someone is about to leave your membership.I discuss the clear and subtle warning signals you need to watch for and share practical strategies you can use to proactively re-engage at-risk members before it's too late.From leveraging technology to understanding behavioral patterns and key milestones, I aim to give you actionable steps to strengthen your retention strategy and keep your community thriving.In this episode:What are the warning signs that indicate a member might be at risk of cancelling their membership?How can you use technology and data to identify members who are becoming disengaged?What are the common “off ramps” or critical moments when cancellations are most likely to occur—and how can you address them?Which proactive steps can you take to re-engage at-risk members and boost your overall retention rates?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"If someone has come and said, I think I might need to go, the worst thing you can do is ignore it or dismiss it, or treat it with hostility. Even if their specific issue can't be fixed overnight. Just taking the time to listen, to respond quickly and with care can be the difference between them leaving or deciding to stick around a little longer." "Technology can help you to flag these things. Some software and plugins will have reporting features that will show you when someone last logged in. Some learning management systems will actually show you how long since someone completed at a lesson. You can use tools like WP Fusion, which is fantastic in enabling you to not only add tags to members that haven't logged in for a while, but also let you add a tag when someone completes a lesson or views a piece of content.""But if you can reach out with something personal and supportive that can make the difference. Remind them that you're there. Remind them that you have resources, you have tools, you are a support service that you can help them out.""Retention in memberships is not just about reacting when someone hits the cancellation button. Often when someone's hitting cancel, it's already too late. Retention is all about being proactive, having your eyes open, having your finger on the pulse, knowing what to look for and taking small but meaningful steps to re engage those members before it's too late."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

Leaving a stable government job to photograph dogs might sound like a leap… but for Australian photographer Ina Jalil, it was a well thought-out, strategic next step. With a background in finance and a deep love for animals, she built a thriving, multi–six-figure pet photography business that's equal parts heart and data. Ina and I talk about what that journey really looked like - the mindset shifts that helped her move from employee to entrepreneur, the pricing experiments that gave her confidence, and why hiring help early was a game changer.If you've ever wondered whether narrowing your focus could actually open more doors, Ina's story is proof that clarity creates growth, and that you can build something profitable, focused, and freeing one intentional step at a time.LINKS:Listen to Ina's podcast: The Pet Photographers' Journal – where Ina shares stories, strategies, and marketing tips for pet photographers and creatives.Follow Ina on InstagramExplore mentoring and resources: Ina J Photography Education – learn from Ina's frameworks, mini courses, and mentoring offers designed to help photographers grow sustainably.Monthly Marketing Magic for Photographers: Get your first month of The Consistency Club for just $1Resources: New to the podcast?

What happens when devotion slips into blind obedience? Harmony opens this episode with a frank reflection on power, consent, and autonomy in yoga. She then welcomes Tamara Cole, a yoga teacher and former boat captain whose journey took her from Bikram's hot rooms to a life of freedom and integrity in the Galápagos Islands. Together, they unpack how groupthink, hierarchy, and manipulation take root in spiritual spaces — and what it looks like to rebuild a practice grounded in awareness, consent, and community. Tamara also shares her upcoming Galápagos Yoga Retreat, where participants reconnect with nature through snorkeling, island exploration, and mindful movement. The conversation closes with Harmony's 21-Day Money Magic & Manifestation Challenge, an embodiment-based program that helped Tamara rewire her scarcity stories and rediscover self-worth, grace, and generosity. Episode Breakdown Devotion vs. Obedience in Yoga: Harmony explores where trust becomes compliance Tamara's Story: From Florida business owner to devoted Bikram practitioner Inside Bikram Training: Bootcamp culture, sleep deprivation, and witnessing abuse Moments of Resistance: Choosing to walk out when a teacher crosses the line Groupthink and Belonging: Why students stay, even when boundaries are broken Life in the Galápagos: Conservation, connection, and the beauty of coexisting with nature Retreat Highlights: Three uninhabited islands, snorkeling, cacao ceremony, yoga, and rest Money Magic Challenge: Healing inherited beliefs and redefining abundance Community as Medicine: Why doing the work together creates lasting change Guest Bio Tamara Cole is a yoga teacher and 100-ton licensed boat captain who spent nearly two decades teaching in Hawai‘i before relocating to the Galápagos Islands. She began practicing yoga in 2008 and trained in the Bikram system before shifting toward more holistic, heart-centered approaches. Tamara now leads transformative yoga retreats that weave movement, mindfulness, and connection to nature. She is also a graduate of Harmony's Lightworker Mastermind program, where she deepened her somatic and energetic practices while developing her signature Galápagos retreat.

What happens when punk rock meets modern faith trends? In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the cultural and spiritual dynamics shaping contemporary Christianity. From the consumer-driven "revival" narrative—marked by increased Bible sales and app downloads—to the troubling intersections of faith and political ideologies like Christian nationalism, they explore what genuine spiritual renewal really looks like. Highlighting the concept of cruciformity, they discuss how the church's role in society should reflect Jesus' teachings of love, justice, and humility, rather than power and control. Through thoughtful conversation, they unpack the transformative power of prayer, emphasizing honesty over performance and exploring how trusting in a good and generous Father reshapes our understanding of faith. Drawing parallels to cultural icons like the Ramones, the episode also touches on how creative expressions and subcultures can challenge the status quo, much like the radical message of Jesus. Join the discussion as the hosts navigate the tension between cultural issues and the theology of the Kingdom of God. What does it mean to live out a faith rooted in service and sacrifice in a world driven by consumption and division? We encourage you to engage in the conversation—share your thoughts in the comments or connect with us on social media as we continue to wrestle with these big questions together.

Kim Vaccarella is the founder and CEO of Bogg Bag, the durable, washable, and colorful tote designed to carry it all with ease, from beach days to everyday adventures.Kim's journey to building Bogg Bag was anything but linear. A mom of two with a full-time job, she sketched the idea for a sturdier beach tote after one too many sandy, soggy days at the shore. Turning that sketch into reality meant dipping into her children's college savings, navigating failed prototypes, and surviving a shipment disaster that nearly sank the company. She pitched the concept to investors, auditioned for Shark Tank four times, and kept going even when the odds looked impossible. For nearly a decade, Kim built Bogg slowly and steadily on the side, determined to protect her vision and move at her own pace. That persistence paid off. Today, Bogg Bag is a thriving $100 million brand carried in major retailers like Nordstrom, Target, and Dick's Sporting Goods, with millions of bags in the hands of customers across the country.In this week's episode, Kim gets super detailed about the many ups and downs on bringing this business to life - from the risks she took to place her first big order, the moments she nearly walked away, and the lessons she learned about patience, resilience, and staying true to her path. We talk about the turning points that defined her journey—from manufacturing challenges and early rejections to grassroots growth and viral moments, and the leap of faith she took when she left her 26-year career to focus on Bogg full time. Kim also shares why she ultimately turned down a massive nine figure acquisition offer and what it means to build a business on your own timeline. If you've ever doubted your pace or questioned your path, Kim's story proves that slow growth can be just as powerful.In this episode, we'll talk to Kim about:* Why slow and steady growth builds sustainable businesses. [02:27]* Kim's early drive for financial independence. [07:31]* How a beach day sparked the idea for Bogg Bag. [10:14]* Early prototypes and industry rejections. [17:16]* Selling the first 300 bags. [19:22]* Funding the first batches through savings and family support. [20:50]* Manufacturing disaster and Hurricane Sandy. [23:11] * Factory challenges and key lessons. [29:15]* Finding the right long-term manufacturing partner. [32:57]* Auditioning for Shark Tank four times. [36:09]* Raising her first $120K from trusted connections. [37:15]* Leaving her 26-year career. [41:20]* The million-dollar sales milestone and early COVID pivots. [42:12]* Going viral with Peloton moms. [44:25]* Why Kim turned down a $100M acquisition deal.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Brandon Cardet-Hernandez shares his journey from being a principal to advising the NYC Mayor, and now serving as President of Mrs. Wordsmith, a company dedicated to improving children's literacy through innovative tools like books and video games. Brandon dives into the urgent need for solutions in education, particularly addressing the missed "dosage" in phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary instruction that many students experience. He explores the role of video games in education, emphasizing that while games can't replace teachers, they can enhance the learning process through engaging, spaced-repetition techniques, like the popular game Word Tag.Brandon discusses how joy and mastery of language can transform a student's understanding and emotional connection to words. He also highlights the challenges many students face in developing strong reading skills, especially in middle and high school, and how increasing practice time is essential.Leaving the principalship to do advising to NYC Mayor. Solutions that I was hungry for. President of Mrs. WordsmithEfficacy of video gamesSub-literateGames don't replace teachers and instructionMissed dosage that kids need: phonemic awareness and phonics & vocabularyHow much time they get practicing. How do we give teachers the right data?Word tag - spaced repetition.Joy of words, master of phrasing. How many kids don't have the command of the language?Happiness makes more sense when you have word associations with it. Increase dosage of reading skills. How challenging it is to learn reading in middle and high school.How to be a transformative principal?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a third time: Satanic and Masonic Ritual Abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer, and whistleblower, writer and author, content creator, loving mother and grandmother, spiritual warfare and deliverance warrior, selfless servant of God, and my dear, sweet friend, StacyA little bit about Stacy if you're new here or missed her previous episodes on ‘The Imagination' and a sneak peek of what we will be talking about today:From the tender age of two, Stacy's life was forged in the crucible of unimaginable pain, born into a multigenerational lineage of ritual abuse. Raised in a chaotic world shaped by a dissociative mother and an alcoholic father, her childhood was tethered with torment. After her parents' divorce, her mother's remarriage to a Freemason thrust Stacy deeper into a nightmare of violation - at home, in Freemason lodges, at Bohemian Grove, and even the mayor's residence, where councilmen and others preyed upon her and other children. For decades, the truth of her past lay buried, only to resurface in her 40s, shattering the illusion of the life she thought she knew. Fragmented memories revealed chilling horrors: satanic rituals, curses binding her soul, a forced “marriage” to Satan, and a scapegoat ritual that forced her to carry the sins of her abusers.Yet Stacy's story is not one of defeat - it's a testament to her unyielding courage and radiant spirit. Refusing to be defined by the dark strongholds that once gripped her, she embarked on a transformative journey of deliverance and spiritual warfare. This fierce passion became her lifeline, guiding her through the agony of remembering and into a powerful path of healing. Leaving behind the confines of a 9-to-5 life, Stacy now dedicates herself to guiding fellow survivors, helping them break free from spiritual chains and find liberation from bondage.Her previous episodes captivated listeners with her raw, powerful testimony of surviving profound trauma and her extraordinary walk with God, whose grace restored her soul. Today, Stacy is back to dive into urgent topics - AI, soul trading, nanotechnology, secrets lurking underground, cancer, and more - igniting vital conversations with her unshakable faith and relentless drive to set others free. Stacy's journey is a blazing testament to the power of resilience and redemption - she is living proof that even the deepest wounds can become wellsprings of purpose. With every step, she transforms pain into power, guiding others out of darkness with her radiant light. Her unwavering commitment to truth and healing inspires us all to rise above our past, embrace hope, and fight for a world where every soul can be free. Stacy is not just a survivor - she is a warrior, a beacon, and a catalyst for change, reminding us that no darkness is too great for the light of courage and faith to overcome.CONNECT WITH STACY: YouTube: @SlayallDayDeliveranceMinistry - https://www.youtube.com/@SlayallDayDeliveranceMinistryEmail: wehaveauthorityoverdemons@gmail.comCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Americans today are leaving religion in record numbers. For many, the faith, practices, and institutions that once provided comfort and guidance no longer fit their beliefs and values. Today's guest, Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren, a psychologist scientist who engages big existential questions to promote human flourishing, And author of the powerful book: Done: How to Flourish After Leaving Religioncalls this departure ‘The Great Disillusionment.' His research and writing brings attention to several important, but often difficult questions that arise when people are no longer served by traditional religion: How do they find new meaning and purpose? How do they process the grief that often accompanies religious or spiritual change? And how can they navigate challenging relationships with people who do not support or understand? Today we'll explore this complex terrain as we discuss: The changing landscape of religion in the US and beyond, Why leaving religion can be so hard, which Darryl will reflect on through the lens of his research, but also through sharing the tragic story of losing his brother. A loss that left him questioning, and wrestling with his own relationship to the religion he was brought up in and had built his life around for many years. And finally, the possibility that Daryl writes about so beautifully.In his words:If you are rethinking your religious beliefs, have experienced religious loss or struggle, or have undergone a significant religious change, you are not alone. By understanding how people before us have left or transformed their religion, And using their wisdom as a guide,we can discover new ways of finding peace, engaging with the transcendent, And ultimately crafting a flourishing and meaningful life.For more on Daryl, his books, research, and other offerings please visit darylvantongeren.comEnjoying the show?

Sometimes the best moments happen when we stop planning and start allowing life to unfold. Recently, I traveled to Boston for my yearlong drum apprenticeship and discovered just how powerful it can be to leave space in the schedule. From crafting drums with horsehide, bison, and cowhide to sharing unhurried time with friends Carolyn and Willow, I experienced what it feels like to truly be in flow—creating, connecting, and noticing the magic that happens when we're not rushing to the next thing. For much of my life, I've been known as the girl who gets it done. Productivity gave me purpose, but it also kept me tethered to constant motion. This trip reminded me that presence is just as valuable as progress. Whether it was seeing a bald eagle soar overhead or having a soulful, unplanned conversation with my teacher, every moment felt richer because I gave myself permission to slow down and breathe it all in. On this Wise Walk, let's explore what it means to be present to what unfolds and create space to celebrate our accomplishments while resting in a feeling of completeness, and allowing life to reveal its quiet gifts. Have you created enough space in your day to let something magical unfold instead of rushing from one task to the next? When you look at your calendar, are you giving yourself room to breathe or are you packing your schedule with back-to-back commitments? How does it feel when your days are so full that there's little time to simply pause and be? What would it look like to be more intentional about creating openness in your life rather than filling every moment with doing? When was the last time you allowed yourself to just be present, noticing what surfaced naturally without trying to control the outcome? Can you hold space for yourself and others to connect more deeply simply by slowing down and being available in the moment? How often do you catch yourself wishing for more time, and what small changes could help you feel less rushed and more grounded? What does it feel like to sit with a sense of completeness and satisfaction before moving on to the next goal? Can you take time to appreciate what you've just accomplished without immediately planning what comes next? Where in your life could you allow more space for spontaneous conversations or experiences that might surprise and fulfill you in unexpected ways? Whatever you have on your docket this week, whatever you have planned for the day, I hope that you create space for yourself to appreciate those accomplishments, to not worry or anticipate or feel anxiety about what's next, and to gently retreat more into yourself and into that magical experience of being present.  And be sure to tune in next week for another Wise Walk as we continue to explore ways to align with our heart and our True Stride. In this episode: [03:20] Throughout my personal and professional life, I have been known as the girl who gets things done. This became part of my identity. [05:02] I also love that this past weekend, I was intentional about arriving early and having some time to play with my friend. [06:23] Holding space for each other and attending the workshop were both magical. A bald eagle even flew over us. [07:40] Reflecting back on the bald eagle coming towards us, I wonder how many times I miss what's coming right towards me. [09:15] At the end of our workshop, I was fully present because I wasn't worried about my next flight. [11:44] I also had time to hang out, and I had a lovely Soulful conversation with my teacher. This beautiful conversation just happened organically. [12:25] It was all about human-to-human connection.  [14:08] Trying to orchestrate every moment prevents organic, fluid moments from unfolding. We can't have magic in the moment if we've already moved on to the next space. [16:13]  As we were driving home, we were visited by another bald eagle. This reinforces the point of paying attention to what's in front of me and staying grounded in my current lane. [17:11] Focusing on what's coming next, interrupts the present. I want to stay in the current flow more, cherish whatever I accomplish, and receive the magic of the moment. Memorable Quotes: “There was just this natural unfolding without expectations, without this rigorous agenda of what we were going to accomplish that day” - Mary Tess “It was all about noticing and paying attention to who I was with, and paying attention to what would surface and what was literally coming towards me, and how I could appreciate that moment.” - Mary Tess “I think a big lesson learned is that if we are busy designing, if we are busy trying to orchestrate our experience, and if we have things like, back to back, then what will naturally unfold can't be as fluid.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decisionmaking process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 122 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Hughes Brothers series, Menace II Society (1993). Leaving the world of Ozu, the boys return to a more contemporary setting by explore the films of Allen and Albert Hughes, identical twin brothers who became known for their bold music videos in the late 1980s, early 1990s for artists like Tone Loc and Tupac Shakur. But it was their first feature, Menace II Society, that took the world by storm as it followed the life young black men in LA trying to making it out the neighborhood they lived in, surrounded by the accepted violence that's systemic, perpetrated by a country willing to allow this section of the world fall apart from within. Released a few years after Boyz in the Hood, this is a sharper, edgier, meaner, realist look at the Watts and Crenshaw neighborhoods that we've ever seen before on screen, introducing the world to a duo of vital voices in cinema. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, it's comparisons to other African American coming of age films made in the early 1990s, the violence found within the film, the strong directorial voices found within this debut feature, the strong cast that make up the film, and their relationship with the directors and their filmography.

In this new NFL Players: Second Acts pod episode, Browns Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper for a conversation packed with grit, humor, and insight from one of the most durable players in NFL history. Thomas breaks down what it was like to block for 23 different quarterbacks, play 10,000+ consecutive snaps, and allow only 30 sacks across his legendary career.

Leaving the house, turning off the tablet, starting homework—why does something so small spark such big meltdowns? If you're exhausted from what feels like Groundhog's Day every morning, afternoon, and bedtime, you're not alone.Here's the truth: it's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. And once you understand the real reason transitions are so hard for your child, you can begin shifting from constant battles to calmer, smoother days.In this episode, I explain the brain science behind transition struggles, why many children fight tooth and nail against even non-preferred activities, and practical steps you can use to make transitions easier at home, school, or even heading to dance class.Why does my child melt down during transition time?Many parents are shocked by how strongly their kids react when asked to switch from one activity to another. But the root cause isn't stubbornness—it's biology.During transition time, the brain has to “shift gears.” For a dysregulated child, this is exhausting and overwhelming.The brain's CEO (prefrontal cortex) goes offline under stress, making switching tasks harder.Kids with ADHD, anxiety, or sensory sensitivities struggle more because flexibility takes extra energy.Triggers like hunger, fatigue, and sensory overload often go unnoticed but make transitions harder.Behavior is communication. When your child melts down at the moment of change, they're really saying, “This is too much for me right now.”What are the hidden triggers that make transitions harder?One mom reported that mornings before school felt like a war zone. Her son ended up in tears on the floor while the family scrambled to get him out the door. Sound familiar?Here are the triggers many parents miss:Unpredictable routines – Sudden schedule shifts cause anxiety.Demands that feel rushed or critical – Even a few minutes earlier than expected can trigger stress.Overstimulation from screens – Coming off the computer or tablet without a reset makes kids crash.Emotional load – Stress at home (like divorce or conflict) amplifies reactivity.Think of yourself as a dysregulation detective. Instead of asking, “Why won't they just listen?” ask, “What's the root cause of this reaction?”If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become an Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How can I make transitions easier for my child?Good news: with a few practical steps, you can shift from chaos to calm. These small adjustments work whether it's bedtime, leaving the house, or starting a non-preferred activity like homework.Preview and prepare – Give 5-minute warnings with visual timers. Kids need predictability.Co-regulate first – Let's calm the brain first. Sit together, breathe, squeeze a hand, or offer water. Your calmness teaches their nervous system safety.Build in micro resets – A stretch, a sip of water, or movement helps kids reset between activities.Offer limited choices – “Do you want to walk or skip to the car?” reduces resistance while giving healthy control.Practice when calm – Rehearse routines during low-stress moments. Like a learning curve in gymnastics class, repetition builds new brain...
