Podcasts about Leaving

Send us Fan MailTravel does not create the mess. It exposes what was never built.In this episode, we unpack why leaving home your base wrecks sleep, goals, and self-trust for so many people, and what to do about it long before you pack a bag. Emilia breaks down a client who feared a bachelorette party would drag her back into old world, the grief of outgrowing a circle that does not share your values, and the We Travel checklists that turn every bad trip into a lesson instead of a loss. Bianca adds why the ability to advocate for yourself at 11 PM in a hotel lobby is built well before the trip starts, and why travel being your only reprieve deserves a much bigger conversation. We also walk a live example of naming your values, attaching standards to them, and rating your own mess level from zero to ten.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #511 | Why Alcohol Is an Easy Helper When You Are Stressed - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000771646317The Growth Journey graphic referenced in this video - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TjoFB6l-JBPkW2Pxf8GaYLQbJimvo_Ek/view?usp=drive_linkLearn more about:

Send us Fan MailMcBee Dynasty Steven Jr. Is Leaving the Farm?!McBee Dynasty S3 E9 Banks Babies and Bad BloodThis week on McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, the McBee family is hit with major relationship and family bombshells. Kacie discovers that she is definitely pregnant, turning Cole's birthday celebration into an unforgettable announcement when she gives him the positive pregnancy test as his gift. Cole admits he had hoped they would wait a little longer, but the news is ultimately welcomed. Meanwhile, the family finally learns that Cole and Kristi secretly got married in Las Vegas, with Kristi initially looking completely stunned before happily embracing the news. With Steven Sr. still away, the family begins talking about planning a proper reception, and Tessa's excitement about being included in these McBee family milestones is absolutely adorable.Steven Jr. and Alli's whirlwind relationship takes another turn as Alli decides to move back to Texas with her sister to create some much-needed space. After spending far more time together than either expected, Alli admits that everything has moved incredibly fast and that she needs time to process the relationship and get to know Steven Jr. better. Steven Jr. realizes that he may have moved too quickly and admits that choosing his personal life over the family farm is something he needs to do for himself. He begins seriously considering moving to Texas for half the year and even talks about getting married and establishing a life with Alli there. The rest of the family supports his desire to be happy, but with the McBee operation already undergoing major changes, the timing could not be worse.And then comes the bombshell that could change everything: the bank is pulling the loan on Steven Jr.'s house, leaving the McBees facing a massive financial problem because they don't have the money to pay it off in full. At the same time, Steven Jr. announces that he is likely leaving the farm, forcing Cole to consider stepping into a larger role. Jesse is making changes to the farmhouse to make Alli more comfortable, while the family is also trying to move forward with their cattle plans, including the new mini Highland calves and an embryo transfer in freezing, snowy conditions. Jake, meanwhile, is shopping for an engagement ring for Tegan, although Steven Jr. manages to hijack the appointment before ultimately deciding to wait. With a pregnancy, a secret wedding, a possible Texas move, shifting farm responsibilities and a financial crisis all happening at once, the McBees are heading into the season finale with plenty of unfinished business and some very bad blood.Domestic Violence Resources:https://www.thehotline.org/https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/domestic-violence/https://nrcdv.org/ Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/ 

Denver firefighters are taking a stand against their state union, and it's a story that's got everyone talking. In this episode, we dive into the details of a lawsuit filed by the Denver Firefighters Union against the state union over a dispute about dues. The local firefighters claim they're being unfairly forced to pay thousands of dollars in dues to the state union, despite feeling they're not getting much in return.The local firefighters, represented by attorney Anthony Holtzman, argue that they've taken formal actions to disaffiliate from the state union, including a referendum vote by the membership. However, the state union claims that the local owes nearly $400,000 in unpaid dues. The case raises questions about the power of unions and the rights of local chapters to disaffiliate.The situation is complex, with the International Firefighters Union getting involved and claiming that the local must follow a specific provision in their constitution to disaffiliate. But the local firefighters' attorney believes that this provision doesn't apply in this case. It's a battle over money, power, and the rights of workers to make their own decisions.If you're interested in learning more about this fascinating case and the intricacies of union politics, tune in to this episode to hear the full conversation with attorney Anthony Holtzman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nathan Fillion is bringing Guy Gardner to DC Studios' animated Mister Miracle, and showrunner Tom King says the character's over the top energy is exactly why it works. It is also one more piece of proof that James Gunn's promise about the DCU's animated and live action sides being one universe is holding.Fillion is the first voice actor officially announced for Mister Miracle, the adult animated series based on the Eisner winning 12 issue run by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. This is not Fillion's first trip through the Green Lantern Corps either, since he spent years voicing Hal Jordan across DC's animated films before Gunn cast him as Guy in live action. King, who serves as showrunner and executive producer on the series, told Entertainment Weekly that Guy's tone lands even in a very different show because that is simply who the character is. The bigger story is continuity. Rick Flag Sr. was voiced by Frank Grillo in Creature Commandos and played by Frank Grillo in Superman, and now Guy Gardner is jumping mediums with the same actor attached. Mister Miracle follows Scott Free and Big Barda trying to live quietly on Earth while Darkseid and the war between Apokolips and New Genesis close in, and King has already teased that the Darkseid casting will surprise people.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Something Bigger With Rodrigo Canelas, Rodrigo sits down with Col. Shivender Pratap Singh Kanwar (Retd.), an Army officer who spent over seven years commanding troops in the Parachute Regiment (Special Forces) inside some of the most dangerous counter-terrorism zones in Jammu and Kashmir. This is not a sanitized war story; it's an unflinching account of what it actually takes to hunt, survive, and eventually walk away from a life built entirely around combat.Most people who romanticize special forces life imagine helicopter extractions and clean, cinematic missions. What Col. Kanwar reveals is the opposite: real operations are built on months of quiet, grinding intelligence work, recruiting a terrified informant, teaching an uneducated grandmother in her sixties to operate a hidden radio, waiting weeks for a single call that might never come. The actual firefight, when it finally happens, is often over in four or five seconds. Everything else the six months of sleepless nights, the canceled leave, the fear that a source's cover is blown is the part nobody tells you about. And when the target finally surrenders, starving and down to his last bullet, the moral clarity of "good versus evil" collapses into something far more human and far more complicated.The episode moves through territory rarely discussed this openly: the psychological toll of constant threat-readiness, the strange intimacy of chasing the same man for a year and a half only to sit across from him afterward and ask "where were you all this time," and the uncomfortable truth that many recruited terrorists are driven less by ideology than by money and family pressure. There's a story about a district commander who had aimed his rifle at point-blank range and chose not to fire and lived to explain why, years later, as a prisoner. There's the account of three brothers from the same house split across the army, the police, and the militancy. And there's a candid look at what happens to a soldier's body and mind after nearly a decade with barely a break from the field: the cigarettes, the drinking, the identity built entirely around the next mission and what it took to walk away from all of it in 2022 and rebuild a life on the other side.This conversation isn't just about combat or counter-terrorism; it's about identity, purpose, and what happens when the structure that gave your life meaning disappears overnight. It's about how people carry extreme experience forward, what "brotherhood" and "responsibility" actually cost, and why some of the most disciplined, driven people struggle hardest with an ordinary civilian life once the mission is gone. Underneath the war stories is a much bigger question about how humans find purpose, endure hardship, and redefine themselves when their old world no longer exists.Before you scroll past this one, ask yourself what you'd actually be willing to endure for something bigger than your own comfort.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A (Episode 58), Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer six real listener questions on the money decisions facing UK savers and investors. We cover paying off your mortgage versus investing, gifting surplus income to manage care fees and inheritance tax, and how to buy capital gains tax-free gold. We also explore consolidating pensions before retirement and how LGPS members can weigh up AVCs versus ISAs and AVCs versus APCs. Tune in for clear, practical UK personal finance, pensions and retirement planning guidance - education, not advice. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA58    02:18  Question 1 Hi team Been listening for ages and having a psychological meltdown over this. I have approx £20k in my S&S ISA and £20k left on my mortgage.  How can I justify the decision to pull the trigger and pay it off?  Note that I also have £30k approx in a cash ISA and £5k float easy access.  I also overpay the mortgage about £800-£1k per month but that's eased off the last few months, with the money diverted to an early year getaway. I'm aware there isn't a perfect result or conclusion but I'm struggling to get past how to make the decision. In context, I do have a big holiday coming up later in the year (£5k-9k expected spend), but I'm itching to pay this off and get regular investing. It might be that writing this email I'm working it out for myself but I'd be keen to hear your thoughts (not advice!) on how I can think about the situation or other angles maybe I'm not thinking about. Michael 07:33  Question 2 Hi Pete, Roger & Nick, Many thanks for your podcasts.  Listening to you has been a part of my weekly habits for several years and I feel that you have been a "gateway" which has helped me to get a better grip on my future.   Thanks a lot! My question is how much to put aside for care fees when compared with potential IHT liability.  Specifically whether to advise my mum to gift her future surplus income instead of investing in her ISA? Mum is 88, and in reasonably good health. She has £330k in a S&S ISA, £50k premium bonds and owns her property worth £600k. Mum's  monthly spending is £500, her monthly income (from pensions) is £2k.  Leaving mum with surplus income of £1.5k per month. Mum already makes gifts of £100 per month to her two grandchildren from her surplus income and uses her annual gift exemption of £3k per annum. I have LPA (F&A & H&W) for mum.   It is important to me that I treat mum and her finances with respect and stay focussed on mums needs (rather than that of me and my immediate family).  As such I have been transferring mums surplus income into her S&S ISA each quarter, so that Mum has enough money to do whatever she wants to do. I am wondering what is the point in continuing to put more money into mums ISA when she has more money than she needs already. Mum is widowed; has no desire to travel abroad; make any changes to the house; buy a new car or similar.   Mums immediate financial needs are met via her pension income.   Therefore aside from potential care home fees I wonder what is the point in continuing to boost Mums investments via the ISA. Assuming care home (nursing home) fees of £2k per week equates to £104k per annum.   It seems to me that Mum has over 3 years of fees covered before she would need to sell her house. I am an only child and executor for mums will.  Currently mum has left her estate to me in her will.   Mum says she "doesn't want her hard earned money going to the tax man".   My concern is that if Mum's S&S ISA continues to grow then her estate will be subject to IHT when she dies, unless of course the money is eaten up with care fees. With this in mind I wonder whether to advise mum that her future surplus income should be gifted rather than invested. What are your thoughts? Many thanks for your excellent work! Kind regards, The Rusholme Ruffian 14:37 Question 3 Hello Pete and Roger (no d!) Great podcast! I hope all the good karma you give out comes back to you! Quick and short question: I am aware some physical gold holdings are subject to CGT but some, such as gold sovereigns and Royal mint bullion are exempt. So are there CGT exempt gold holdings that one can buy and keep in a GIA to sell later CGT free? Many thanks and keep going! Adam 16:52 Question 4 Hi Pete, Hi Rog My son put me onto your podcast some time ago and I've been working through the back catalogue from 2019 and am currently up to 2023. I have also bought the Retirement Guide book and plan to join the Academy later this year.  Like everyone else, I wish I'd found this years ago!  But hey ho, we are where we are. I'm 57 and plan to retire next year.  My wife gave up work to look after our children and so apart from state pension all our pension funds are those I've been able to accumulate through my various jobs.  I have 4 pensions - 1 DB and 3 DC.  One of the DCs is in drawdown as I had to withdraw the tax free element a couple of years ago for reasons I won't go into (but I was careful not to trigger the MPAA).   I now work in Financial Services and you won't believe the Compliance hoops I would have to get through to change out of the default pension funds and likewise consolidation of the DC pensions - that will have to wait until I actually retire. Having listened to so many episodes, I have loads of questions but the ones spinning through my head the most are:- 1. Can I consolidate a DC in drawdown with my virgin, untouched DCs and does it matter if I wait until I retire to do so? If yes, how would that be presented to me by the provider. 2. With investments all in one person's name, is there anyway that imbalance can be addressed? For example, what options are there to make use of tax allowances which my wife may have to minimise tax. Is it possible to transfer some of my pension to my wife? - I suspect not. Do we need separate cash pots (in case of death of one of us)? 3. In the Home Straight season and in the book you list a number of questions to ask DC providers. Are there any questions I should be asking my DB provider? even if they are just the practicalities. Thanks again for the podcasts and guidance.  Say Hello to Cornwall for me - I'm sure we'll be visiting Fowey more often when do retire.  (Don't suppose you or Roger can recommend a book on the history of Cornwall?) Mark 24:30 Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger, I'm in my early 50s and only now feel like I'm reaching a stage where I have some financial breathing space, but it has also triggered panic that I may be behind and need to make the most of the next 8–10 years. For context, I was a single mother for 24 years. During much of that time I worked part-time on a relatively low salary while contributing to the LGPS. My children have now left home and over the last eight years I returned to full-time work and progressed professionally. I'm now earning just above the higher-rate tax threshold at £62,000. Over the last eight years I have aggressively focused on becoming debt free and paid my mortgage off last year. I currently: - contribute 8.5% into LGPS (part final salary part CARE) - Just opened an AVC £550 per month cost to me - Just opened a stocks and shares investment platform where I can comfortably afford upto £250 per month - save £600 per month into a cash ISA for flexibility/emergency funds - currently hold around £20k in cash isa savings I would ideally like the option to retire around 60, perhaps gradually rather than stopping work completely overnight. My question is: Given my relatively late start to focused financial planning (and lack of understanding) am I broadly approaching this in the right way, and what else should someone in my position be considering over the next decade to build a secure but flexible retirement? I'd also be interested in your thoughts on balancing AVCs versus ISAs at this stage of life, and whether people like me should focus more on flexibility or maximum pension accumulation. Thank you, I've just found your podcast and will be listening help reduce some of the fear around pensions and investments I have. Regards, Lotty 32:12  Question 6 Hi Pete and Roger I'm loving the podcast and it has really helped focus my mind and be more intentional about my finances, having not really saved or invested for the first 40 years of my life. I am a relatively low earner with a salary of £30,000, which means I can only afford to commit around £200 a month for savings and investments, but I do save anything left over at the end of the month too. I could look for a higher paid role, but my current job gives me a lot of flexibility including mostly home working and because I have worked in local government for 20 years I get very good sickness and redundancy benefits, as well as a defined benefit pension which I have been paying into from the start of my employment. This will guarantee me my final salary on retirement, although that assumes I work until 68, which is longer than I want to ideally. [ALARM!} I have built up an emergency fund of 1 month salary and will try and get that to 2 months, but with my sickness and redundancy benefits I don't feel I necessarily need the 3-6 months which is recommended by many. I also have a stocks and shares ISA which I am hoping to build up and not spend until retirement, with the plan of using it to bridge the gap before I draw on my pension. I am now considering making additional contributions to my pension and have two options available to me. One is to make Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) via the Prudential and the other is Additional Pension Contributions (APCs) through the scheme itself. With AVCs my employer will pay in with me, but they don't with APCs. With my employer paying in with me that makes me wonder if AVCs may be a better option. Alternatively, as I don't have much money to put in I may keep my pension contributions as they are and focus on my stocks and shares ISA. I know you can't tell me which route to take, but I am interested in your thoughts and perhaps there are some questions I should be putting to my pension provider to give me more clarity. Apologies for the length of the question.

Off the field, Senate votes and the Protect College Sports Act shake up the landscape: How will new legislation influence Miami, Florida State, and Clemson's potential conference moves? Could restrictive caps and shifting rules alter Miami's recruiting power? Brian Smith and Alex Donna break down what's next for the Hurricanes and the ACC's future.

Luxury cars are supposed to make you feel rich—not leave you with a painful souvenir.

In this episode, I discuss what happens when your final day at a BigLaw firm arrives and you haven't landed your next role. The concerns in this situation can extend beyond the potential financial impact. Lawyers also often worry that clients and colleagues will assume something went wrong, recruiters will view them differently once they are no longer attached to a major firm, and an employment gap will weaken their ability to compete for the positions they want. Leaving without another role, however, does not automatically damage your career. The greater risk is allowing your transition to become so undefined  that other people begin making assumptions as they, not you, fill in the gaps about what happened and project what you can contribute. Throughout the episode, I explain how to remain visible, professionally engaged, and in control of your narrative after leaving a firm. I discuss why your transition strategy should begin before your departure, how to replace and reclaim the professional signals your firm once generated for you, and how to talk about your search without sounding apologetic or uncertain. I also explain why legal opportunities often emerge through relationships and recognized business needs rather than posted positions; how to diagnose and adjust a search that is not producing results; and when an interim, advisory, or bridge role can be strategically useful. Most importantly, I discuss how to manage an extended transition by defining objectives, maintaining a professional rhythm, evaluating what is working, and continuing to strengthen the relationships, reputation, credibility, and market relevance that can help the right opportunity emerge. At a Glance 01:20 What happens when you leave BigLaw without another role secured 02:30 Why the transition itself does not have to damage your career 03:17 How to remain visible and relevant after losing your firm's platform 04:02 Why you must begin creating your own professional signals so others don't 04:58 How to stay connected without making every conversation about your job search 07:03 Why the absence of a role should not define your professional identity 08:08 How to discuss your transition with discretion and confidence 09:23 Why disappearing from your network can become a costly mistake 10:37 How to shift from being chosen to creating demand for your expertise 11:04 How to translate BigLaw experience into value the market understands 12:00 Why working harder may not fix a stalled search 13:27 How to diagnose where your search strategy is breaking down 15:39 How to evaluate an imperfect or interim opportunity 17:47 How to manage an extended transition like a significant client matter For Apple Podcasts, click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select "Write a Review."

This episode of The Selling Podcast dives into the often-overlooked conclusion of the sales career path by exploring how you actually leave sales and manage career transitions.The "Grass is Always Greener" TrapSales reps frequently look at peers and assume their jobs are easier, faster, or better.This constant comparison is a natural human tendency driven by the search for a path of least resistance.Running Away vs. Running TowardsWhen considering a move, it is critical to evaluate whether you are running away from a temporary slump or running towards a strategic, well-planned opportunity.Blaming the company entirely for performance issues is a common reaction, but true career growth requires separating emotional burnout from actual business viability.Leaving the Right WayBridges should never be burned when exiting a role, as the business world is small and former rivals or colleagues can unexpectedly end up on the same team later.Maintaining professional connections and assuming positive intent ensures that your departure leaves a minimal wake and keeps future doors open.Treating Your Territory Like a BusinessSalespeople operate as entrepreneurs managing their own territories, requiring a lifecycle of starting, building, and executing a thoughtful exit strategy rather than quitting out of frustration.Ultimately, once you build a foundation in sales, you are always selling something, regardless of what career evolution comes next.SEO Tagssales career, leaving sales, sales transition, sales management, grass is greener, sales territory management, sales entrepreneurship, career change, sales networking, selling podcast

Send us Fan MailA school can celebrate women's equality for 160 years and still run a payroll system that tells a very different story. We dig into the Vassar College pay equity case, the $5 million class action settlement, and the uncomfortable lesson for every workplace: a polished mission statement does not protect you from wage discrimination, and “progressive” branding can let a gender pay gap hide in plain sight.We walk through the public salary data reported to the Chronicle of Higher Education, why small differences in starting pay can balloon through percentage raises, and how the real losses extend beyond base pay into retirement contributions and long-term wealth. Then we trace what happens when employees try to fix it internally: warnings from surveys, requests for transparency, and the kinds of explanations that keep showing up across industries, including the negotiation myth and the merit defense.On the legal side, we explain the courtroom fight over New York's Equal Pay Law and the 2019 shift from “equal work” to “substantially similar work,” a change that makes it harder for employers to dodge accountability with technical job-duty distinctions. We also unpack the systemic mechanics that can create disparate impact, including performance systems tied to biased student evaluations, and why the settlement's programmatic relief matters as much as the money: independent pay equity audits, required salary adjustments, and clear access to compensation criteria.If you care about equal pay, pay transparency, and practical ways to spot red flags in compensation, this conversation is for you.

When you're moving into retirement, you're most likely to be starting to ask yourself which investment accounts you should start drawing from first. There's really no universal answer—retirement withdrawal strategies are deeply personal and situation-dependent. But understanding the implications of each account type and the factors that influence withdrawal order can have a massive impact on your tax burden and the longevity of your assets.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Retirement withdrawal strategy options [06:37] Roth IRA and taxable accounts [07:47] Tax implications for investment gains [14:12] Roth IRA conversion strategy [16:17] Real-life retirement income strategies [19:36] Importance of a withdrawal strategy   Understanding the Account Types and Their Tax Impact   The foundation of your strategic withdrawal plan begins with understanding how each investment account is taxed:   1. Pre-tax Retirement Accounts These include traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, and similar plans. Contributions offer a tax deduction, and growth is tax-deferred, but withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income. These accounts are eventually subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs), currently beginning at age 73 or 75, depending on your birth year. Withdrawals here not only increase your reported income but can also impact Medicare premiums and Social Security taxation.   2. Roth Accounts Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s are funded with after-tax contributions. Qualified withdrawals are tax-free and—if the original contributor owns the account, not subject to RMDs in your lifetime. This makes Roth accounts especially valuable for flexible, later-stage withdrawals.   3. Taxable Brokerage Accounts These are standard investment accounts not designated for retirement. Withdrawals of principal do not create taxable events; only realized capital gains, dividends, and interest are reported for taxes. One major benefit: capital gains rates can be lower than ordinary income rates and may even reach 0% for some filers. Withdrawals can be easy to manage for opportunistic or requirement-driven needs.   Questions to Consider with Personalized Withdrawal Planning Several personal factors play into the best withdrawal order: Are you retiring before 65 and in need of Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance? Do you want to minimize future RMDs or leave assets to heirs? When will you begin Social Security or receive pension income? What is your preferred tax bracket and desired lifestyle flexibility?   These questions should be revisited regularly, as changes in tax law, health, or legacy wishes can affect your strategy.   Real-World Withdrawal Scenarios Coordinating Withdrawals for ACA Subsidies Jonathan retires at 57, pre-Medicare, and must carefully manage his modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) to retain ACA health insurance subsidies. My suggested plan is to combine modest 401(k) withdrawals, reportable dividends, and money market interest to stay below the MAGI threshold. Additional cash needs are met from accounts, like the money market, which don't affect taxable income. This keeps his subsidy and aligns with income limits, demonstrating the need for multi-account coordination.   Reducing Future RMDs and Leaving a Legacy Walter and Amy, 62, want to avoid burdening their heirs with high-tax inheritance on pre-tax accounts. Instead of focusing solely on paying the least tax today, they prioritize Roth conversions while Social Security is delayed, taking advantage of lower brackets now to transfer wealth into tax-free vehicles. Over several years, they could convert hundreds of thousands into Roth IRAs, significantly reducing future RMDs while maximizing wealth transfer.   Minimizing Tax on Social Security Christian, 68, blends Social Security with distributions from non-taxable sources like his money market to avoid triggering federal taxes on his Social Security. Careful planning allows him to either keep Social Security tax-free or, with limited IRA withdrawals, incur only minimal tax.   The Importance of Ongoing Review and Professional Advice Your withdrawal strategy is not a "set-and-forget" plan. Tax laws, account balances, and individual goals will change over time. I suggest annual reviews and, ideally, working with a specialized financial advisor to continually adjust the plan for optimal tax efficiency and income sustainability. A thoughtful approach, tailored to your personal circumstances and updated regularly, will help you balance tax efficiency, income needs, and legacy goals.    Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

In this episode, we perceive persuasive words to change a person’s path, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 307, penned by Madurai Eezhathu Poothan Thevanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands Landscape’, the verse sketches the consequences of the man’s parting away. ”சிறு நுதல் பசந்து, பெருந் தோள் சாஅய்,அகல் எழில் அல்குல் அவ் வரி வாட,பகலும் கங்குலும் மயங்கி, பையென,பெயல் உறு மலரின் கண் பனி வார,ஈங்கு இவள் உழக்கும்” என்னாது, வினை நயந்து,நீங்கல் ஒல்லுமோ ஐய! வேங்கைஅடு முரண் தொலைத்த நெடு நல் யானைமையல் அம் கடாஅம் செருக்கி, மதம் சிறந்து,இயங்குநர்ச் செகுக்கும் எய் படு நனந்தலை,பெருங் கை எண்கினம் குரும்பி தேரும்புற்றுடைச் சுவர புதல் இவர் பொதியில்,கடவுள் போகிய கருந் தாட் கந்தத்துஉடன் உறை பழமையின் துறத்தல்செல்லாது,இரும் புறாப் பெடையொடு பயிரும்பெருங் கல் வைப்பின் மலைமுதல் ஆறே? We encounter a lot of wildlife in this trip through the drylands, as we listen to the confidante say these words to the man, when he conveys his decision to part with the lady and go in search of wealth: “Without considering that her little forehead will be coated in pallor, her thick arms will waste away, the beautiful lines on her wide and beautiful loins will fade, she will be in utter confusion, knowing not if it's day or night, and akin to a flower in a rain shower, her eyes will shed the dew of tears, as she suffers with angst here, you wish to part away, desiring wealth, O lord! Do you think this is right? After vanquishing an attacking tiger with strength, the tall and handsome elephant, blinded by its maddening musth, attacks those who traverse those weary spaces, where long-armed bears in search of termite combs, dig up tall mounds, amidst overgrown bushes, in what was once a town centre, where the residing god had parted away from the sturdy, black pillar, and where owing to the habit of living there for long, without forsaking the space, a huge pigeon coos along with its mate. Such are those rocky spaces amidst the hills, where the path you wish to tread winds through!” Time to tread these familiar but fearsome spaces! The confidante starts by accusing the man that he doesn’t seem to care about what would happen to the lady when he parts away. She elaborates that pallor will come to coat her friend’s forehead, the lady’s arms would thin away, her health and beauty would fade, and all day, all night, the lady would be languishing, with her eyes shedding tears like a bloom in the rain. The confidante asks the man if what he intends to do is right and goes on to describe where he would be travelling. First she brings in the image of a mad elephant in musth that has just killed a tiger and with its rage still not diminished, it comes to attack wayfarers who dare to walk that path. Next, from the elephants, the confidante turns to portrays bears on the prowl, looking out for termite combs and topping ant hills to find their tasty meal. She explains that this space has not always been a scrub jungle but was once a town centre, and people worshipped a god, who was said to live in a huge pillar, constructed therein. Intricately, she mentions how that god had left the premises and all that remained were overgrown bushes, and yet because they had lived for long in those spaces, a pigeon and its mate did not want to give up their residence there and continued to make their calls resound in those uninhabited spaces. The confidante concludes by telling the man that his path through the hills would take him faraway to such spaces and asks him whether it was right on his part to let the lady suffer and take on that tiresome journey himself! Though it’s the usual message of ‘Don’t go there, leaving her here’, what flashed so brightly in the lines was that statement about how God had left the pillar when the people no longer worshipped there, but the pigeons and other wild life continue to remain. What flows is a tangential reading indeed, but to me, it appears as if God vanishes when the people do, but nature, which was there before people, continues to be there, an entity of permanence. As these lines say if God were to leave, when people don’t pray anymore, was God truly there? Are people following God or is the God following the people and their prayers? These are the questions that this particular journey through the drylands have brought forth in my mind!

When your family is in crisis, the last thing you want to do is start the orientation process of finding support. You need help - ASAP. So that time when things feel a bit calmer, and your teen seems to be doing okay, might actually be the best time to build the support system they'll need for the road ahead.In this episode, Seth Gottlieb joins me to explore why waiting until your family is in crisis often makes it harder to get the right help in place. We discuss the unique roles of therapists, mentors, and parent coaches, why they aren't interchangeable, and how creating a strong support system before problems escalate can make all the difference for both you and your teen.If you're looking for support for parents of struggling teens, we'll help you think beyond crisis management and toward proactive, long-term support. Whether your teen is returning home from treatment, resistant to therapy, or simply navigating a difficult season, building the right team early can create stronger relationships, better communication, and more sustainable progress.In this episode on support for parents of struggling teens, we discuss:Why it's better to build support before your teen reaches a crisisThe differences between therapists, mentors, and parent coachesHow mentors help teens discover their own goals and build independenceWhy many teens respond differently to mentors than to therapists or parentsWhen to introduce additional support during or after treatmentHow proactive support can reduce the likelihood of future crisesWhy parents often wait too long to ask for help, and how to recognize the signs soonerThe importance of continuing support, even when things seem to be going wellHow parents can shift from crisis management to long-term growth and healthier family dynamicsLooking for support?

Send us Fan MailThere is a decision you are not making. It finds you in the car on the way to work. It finds you after a hard clinic day. It finds you at 11pm when you are trying to fall asleep. And every day you tell yourself you will just wait and see.Here is what I want you to know: waiting is not free. Every day you spend not deciding is a day you hand over mental bandwidth and emotional energy to a question that never gets answered. I did this for years, and then I did it some more. What I did not understand at the time is that not deciding is still deciding. If you are wondering whether to stay or go and you never say it out loud, you have voted to stay. You just have not declared it, which means you cannot do the one thing that would actually help: make staying better.In this episode we talk about the real cost of the open tab in your brain, the one quietly eating your RAM. We talk about what happens when you wait long enough that someone else makes the decision for you, which is happening to more physicians than any of us expected. And we talk about a third option almost nobody considers, which is deciding, out loud and on purpose, that you are not deciding yet, with a date on the calendar and a plan for what you will explore in the meantime.You are going to feel some discomfort either way. Staying somewhere hard and choosing to make it better asks you to stop running on autopilot. Leaving something familiar is uncomfortable even when it is right. But discomfort while you are moving forward is a completely different animal from the low grade drain of being stuck. One of them costs you years.Say it out loud. Stay or go. Then let's get to work on making it right.If this resonates and you want support actually living it, let's talk.

What happens when you spend 27 years building a career in healthcare, then decide to bet on yourself and build something of your own? For Steve Ruiz, it meant leaving the comfort of a long career, trusting his instincts, and turning a passion for Puerto Rican food into a growing family business.On this episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Steve Ruiz, co-owner of Mama D's Empanadas, to talk about entrepreneurship, Puerto Rican culture, family, risk, resilience, and what it really takes to build a business from the ground up.Steve's journey is anything but predictable. Growing up in Bushwick, Brooklyn, he dreamed of playing professional baseball and even had an opportunity to try out with the Minnesota Twins. After suffering a serious knee injury and experiencing a heart attack at just 18 years old, his path took a completely different direction. He eventually found his way into the medical field, where he spent 27 years working at Hospital for Special Surgery.But while Steve had a stable career, he and his wife, Diana, were building something on the side. What started as a food truck grew over six or seven years, introducing customers throughout New Jersey to authentic Puerto Rican empanadas and cuisine. Eventually, people kept asking the same question: Where can we get your food all the time?That question helped push Steve and his family toward opening Mama D's Empanadas, a brick-and-mortar restaurant in New Jersey. Making that leap wasn't easy. Leaving a 27-year career meant giving up security, taking on risk, learning an entirely new industry, and figuring out how to run everything from food preparation to equipment repairs and customer service.Steve explains why he believes failing is easier than succeeding. Failure can teach you what went wrong and give you another chance to improve. Success brings a different challenge: figuring out how to repeat it and keep moving forward. That mindset has helped Steve approach entrepreneurship with patience, accountability, consistency, and a willingness to learn.A major part of the conversation is the importance of Puerto Rican culture and storytelling through food. Steve isn't simply selling empanadas. He's sharing the food, traditions, memories, and family stories behind them. Mama D's is designed to make people feel at home, whether they're Puerto Rican, Latino, or someone experiencing Puerto Rican cuisine for the first time.Puerto Rican food and culture as a foundation for building a businessLeaving a 27-year healthcare career to pursue entrepreneurshipGrowing from a food truck into a brick-and-mortar restaurantWhy consistency and quality matter more than gimmicksLearning from customers and constantly developing new empanada flavorsThe importance of research before taking a major financial riskWhy Steve chose to buy the building instead of simply signing a commercial leaseBuilding a business that can become part of the family's long-term legacyThe conversation also gets personal. Steve talks openly about fatherhood, raising his children, and the lessons he shared with his daughter before she entered the U.S. Space Force. His daughter went on to become a cybersecurity expert working with satellites, while his son built his own career in Connecticut. Steve's approach is simple: give your children the tools and guidance they need, but don't force them into the family business. Let them create their own path.Listen to IAANAS Podcast: I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, hosted by Luis Guzman, for real conversations about creativity, business, culture, personal growth, and the messy road to building a life on your own terms.

Sometimes, the environment I'm in simply doesn't support the person I'm trying to become.In this video, I share my experience as a working guitar player in my 20s. From the outside, I was living the dream. But the reality of my day-to-day life was completely at odds with what I needed to feel healthy and happy.Leaving that career was scary. It meant starting over at an age when many of my friends already had established careers, families, and a clear path forward.But staying somewhere that wasn't working for me wasn't the answer either.Whether it's your career, relationships, routines, or the people you surround yourself with, sometimes the environment you're in can make it incredibly difficult to create the changes you want.That doesn't necessarily mean you need to blow up your life. But it might be worth asking yourself:Is my current environment actually helping me become the person I want to be?And if it isn't, what options do I have?Join the Strong Not Starving Community interest list: https://strongnotstarving.com/sns-community/Book a Call with Marcus Here: https://form.jotform.com/240493269367062Strong Not Starving Youtube: https://youtube.com/@strongnotstarving?si=zzmTveIdGUD0omuMStay up to date with Strong Not Starving events and resources ⬇️⬇️⬇️  https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/2452616/190543834178913405/shareWebsite: www.strongnotstarving.com

Send us Fan MailA single word can decide whether your workplace dispute stays locked in private arbitration or moves into a public courtroom. We dig into Randi Marie Bruce v. Adams and Reese, LLP, a Sixth Circuit decision that ties together real-world workplace dynamics, strict federal pleading rules, and a brand-new congressional push to end forced arbitration for sexual harassment claims.We start with the human story: an employee managing serious health conditions that require medication and a flexible morning schedule, a transfer to a new employer that quietly resets legal responsibility, and allegations of degrading sexual comments from a supervisor with enormous control over her job. From there, we follow the case into the procedural meat grinder: vicarious liability cutting off older allegations, Rule 12(b)(6) motions designed to stop discovery, and the Twombly/Iqbal plausibility standard that forces complaints to be specific enough to feel real to a judge. Even the grammar matters, and we explain why the court treated “would say” as a signal of habitual conduct.Then the big shift: the Ending Forced Arbitration Act (EFAA) collides with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). The court's reading of “case” versus “claim” means one viable sexual harassment claim can invalidate an arbitration agreement for the entire lawsuit, including ADA disability accommodation claims that have nothing to do with harassment. We close with what this changes for employees, employers, HR, and anyone signing onboarding paperwork without reading page 14.If you want smarter context for forced arbitration, Title VII, ADA accommodations, and the new EFAA rules, listen now, then subscribe, share with a coworker, and leave a review. What do you think: should one claim be able to open the courthouse doors for everything else?

Send us Fan MailA senior executive clucks like a chicken in a conference room to pressure a subordinate into a personal wager, and that single moment becomes the spark for one of the messiest employment law stories to hit the appellate courts. We walk through Pannek v US Bank, where a bank reorganization, an ethics hotline complaint, and a termination plan collide in a way that makes the timeline feel almost unreal, until you remember how often restructurings amplify fear and silence at work. We break down how internal investigations actually function when the accused is powerful, why HR training and reporting mechanisms matter, and what it means when the company substantiates misconduct yet the people who reported it still lose their jobs. You'll hear how Title VII retaliation works as a separate legal wrong from the underlying harassment, why the McDonnell Douglas burden shifting framework is built for circumstantial evidence, and how “pretext” can be inferred from timing, contradictions, and failing to follow the employer's own layoff procedures like a peer group analysis. We also dig into the defenses that shape real outcomes: how the Faragher-Ellerth framework can defeat a hostile work environment claim when reporting is delayed, why judges can't decide witness credibility at summary judgment, and what a restructuring does (and doesn't) prove in an ADEA age discrimination theory when duties are redistributed instead of backfilled. If you work through mergers, layoffs, or toxic management, this is a practical guide to documenting, reporting, and understanding the legal risk on both sides. Subscribe for more workplace law breakdowns, share this with a coworker navigating a reorg, and leave a review with your take: should a complaint made during layoffs be viewed with more skepticism, or more urgency?

Send us Fan MailOne late-night scroll can turn into a career-ending workplace mistake. We're unpacking a 2026 Sixth Circuit decision, Crisp v Scioto Ambulance District, that tackles a modern temptation: finding a coworker's adult content online and bringing it into the office to “prove” a point. The court's bottom line is as uncomfortable as it is clear: introducing sexually explicit images into the workplace can create a hostile environment and can be grounds for termination, even if the images were publicly available on the internet.We walk through the timeline from the earliest harassment allegations to a disturbing on-shift escalation, then the employer's bafflingly weak response that leaves the target feeling unprotected. That pressure builds until a moment that changes everything: a warning to new hires becomes “receipts,” and those receipts are nude photos pulled from FetLife. From there, we dig into why the retaliation claim fails under Title VII, how the McDonnell Douglas framework works when there's no direct evidence, and why the court says protected opposition to harassment doesn't give you a free pass to break other core workplace rules.We also tackle the argument everyone hears now: “But it was public online.” The court rejects that logic and draws a firm boundary between digital private life and professional workplace expectations, using language that sticks: some things must be left unseen at work. If you're an employee trying to report harassment, or an employer trying to manage risk across Slack, Teams, and social media spillover, this case is a must-know roadmap.

After more than two decades in a stable, high-status career, this week's guest walked away at 47 to start over as a coach. He talks through the fear of losing a steady salary, the process of finding his first clients, and the moment he realized coaching had been his gift all along. He also opens up about the hardest part of running his own business: learning to say his price out loud without flinching. From there the conversation moves into his work with MBA students and business leaders, why so many high achievers struggle with confidence in front of a room, and how a chance conversation at the gym turned into a keynote for a major luxury brand. If you are building relationships that eventually turn into clients, or you are still working up the nerve to charge what you are worth, this episode has something for you.BUILD THE PODCAST YOUR VOICE ALREADY EARNED:If you're ready to build a podcast that attracts and converts premium clients while empowering the people you serve.Visit joewintersjr.com/start to book a free discovery call.

All aboard for our second last Trains episode! . . . YOU DON'T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don't know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don't know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).
