    David Nurse is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and renowned NBA shooting coach who has worked with some of basketball's top athletes and organizations. After his dream of playing professional basketball ended, David reinvented himself by building a career around performance, mindset, and personal development. In this episode, Travis shares his biggest lessons from his conversation with David, covering everything from overcoming setbacks and building meaningful relationships to creating opportunities through relentless consistency and preparation. On this episode we talk about: How consistency over time creates long-term success Turning setbacks into new opportunities and career pivots Why credibility comes from doing the work before teaching it The role relationships play in creating career opportunities How preparation builds confidence and performance under pressure Top 3 Takeaways Consistency is the ultimate competitive advantage. Find something you're passionate about, learn from the best, provide value, and stay committed for years—not weeks or months. Every setback creates new opportunities. When one door closes, focusing on the possibilities ahead instead of dwelling on rejection can completely change your trajectory. Relationships create opportunities. Most career breakthroughs, partnerships, and life-changing opportunities come through people, not resumes or applications. Notable Quotes "Consistency over time is the most boring, yet the most powerful formula in existence." "When one door closes, four more doors open." "You have to do something first before anyone will pay to hear you talk about it."

    What actually happens inside the IVF lab can have a major impact on embryo development, genetic testing results, and ultimately your chances of IVF success. I'm pulling back the curtain on how embryologists evaluate embryos, what makes one embryo more likely to succeed than another, and how the timing of biopsy, freezing, and embryo development can influence outcomes. We also tackle common questions, including whether a day 6 blastocyst is something to worry about and what patients should know about embryo grading and PGT-A testing. Joining me for this fascinating conversation is Dr. Tricia Adams, senior embryologist and laboratory manager at Ovation Fertility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dr. Adams brings a rare combination of deep scientific expertise, from equine oocyte cryopreservation research to cutting-edge human embryology, along with a genuine passion for improving patient outcomes.  In this episode, I cover: • What embryologists actually do behind closed laboratory doors — and why you may never meet yours • Hatching vs. fully hatched blastocysts: what Dr. Adams' research revealed about ploidy status and implantation rates • The truth about day five vs. day six vs. day seven embryos — and why the day alone doesn't tell the whole story • How to advocate for yourself by asking the right questions about your specific lab's data • The rapid rise of elective egg freezing and what women should realistically understand about timing, expectations, and outcomes • Lessons from cryopreserving horse eggs and what that research taught Dr. Adams about protecting human oocytes • The future of embryo assessment: AI, non-invasive tools, and individualized embryo scoring Resources Ovation Fertility Website Fertility Answers (Baton Rouge & Lafayette, LA) Subscribe to The Egg Whisperer Show on YouTube Subscribe to The Egg Whisperer Show on Spotify Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

    85 Years Old and Still Preaching: Why Al Baird Refuses to Retire What keeps a Christian faithful, fruitful, and full of vision at 85 years old? In this inspiring episode, Rob sits down with Dr. Al Baird, longtime church leader, teacher, and disciple-maker, who is still actively preaching and helping churches grow decades into his Christian journey. After losing his wife Gloria following 56 years of marriage, Al faced the challenge of finding purpose in a new season of life. Rather than slowing down, he accepted an opportunity to help revitalize the church in Bakersfield, California—a congregation that had lost momentum, vision, and hope. In this conversation, Al shares: • Why every Christian needs a dream • How he navigated life after losing Gloria • The opportunity he saw in Bakersfield • What happens when churches lose vision • Why retirement can be one of the most powerful seasons of ministry • How contribution and participation began growing again • Lessons learned from decades of ministry • The incredible example of George and Irene Gurganus • Why Christians should never retire spiritually • Practical advice for staying faithful over the long haul This conversation is filled with wisdom, perspective, and encouragement for Christians of every age.

    https://teachhoops.com/ If you spend nearly three decades pacing a sideline, sweating out Friday nights, and riding the emotional roller coaster of high school athletics, you learn a lot about basketball. But more importantly, you learn a lot about life. The greatest trap in youth sports—and in modern culture—is the belief that the scoreboard tells the whole truth. We live in a world obsessed with trailing indicators: the final score, the bank account balance, the job title, or the metrics on a screen. But after coaching hundreds of young men through the "muck and grind" of their high school years, the ultimate lesson I've walked away with is this: The scoreboard is a liar. It can crown you a winner when you played selfishly against a weak opponent, and it can brand you a loser when you gave a heroic, flawless effort against a superior force. True success has nothing to do with the numbers on the wall. It is about the unyielding standard you hold yourself to when nobody is watching, and the Resilience Equity you build when life hits you with an unexpected 10-0 run. In basketball, the average possession lasts less than twenty seconds. If a player throws a bad pass or misses a wide-open layup, and they spend the next five seconds hanging their head or kicking the floor, the opponent is already sprinting down the court for an uncontested layup. We call that emotional hang-time. Life operates on the exact same loop. You will experience turnovers. A business venture will stall out, a relationship will fracture, or an unexpected tax bill will land on your kitchen table. The Lesson: You cannot control the whistle that just blew, but you have 100% control over your Next Play Speed. The Execution: Elite performers acknowledge the error, flush the negative emotion instantly, and sprint back into defensive position. The faster your mental reset, the more resilient your life becomes. Everyone wants the glory of the buzzer-beating shot under the lights. But championship habits aren't built during the moments of celebration; they are forged during those quiet, exhausted Tuesday practices in the middle of January when the gym is cold and the energy is flat. We can look at human development through a modified version of our favorite basketball efficiency metric, Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$). In life, your output is a direct reflection of your daily alignment and habit selection: If your daily efforts are scattered, emotional, or undisciplined, your overall efficiency plummets. But when you commit to Radical Consistency—showing up with a high center of gravity and a Level 4 work ethic every single day—you maximize your probability of a winning outcome over the long haul. When a child is young, or when an employee first starts a job, they operate in a state of compliance. They do what they are told because they want to avoid a sprint or keep their position. They are Coach-Fed. But the final frontier of growth—both on the floor and in your personal life—is transitioning to absolute ownership. You must become Player-Led. The Shift: You stop waiting for a boss, a parent, or a coach to tell you to clean up the workspace, dive for the loose ball, or fix a broken communication stream. The Result: You take ownership of the room. When your inner voice becomes the ultimate enforcer of your standards, you stop merely surviving day-to-day chaos and start dictating the terms of your future. Coach's Note: "Thirty years from now, nobody will remember the exact score of a regional semifinal game on a random Friday night. But the kids who learned how to look a man in the eye during a hard correction, communicate clearly through physical exhaust, and protect their teammates like a shield—those are the human beings who win at life. Carry the bricks daily, hold your standard fiercely, and let the scoreboard take care of itself."

    Treating schizophrenia in America is often described as a broken system, not because of a lack of medical knowledge, but due to structural and policy failures. The failures of these systems has created a cycle where individuals often move between homelessness, emergency rooms, and the criminal justice system rather than receiving ongoing care. Many families and caregivers struggle to get help even when the situation turns dangerous. In this episode, hosts Rachel Star Withers and Gabe Howard discuss how the government and health care system failures lead to these tragedies and what needs to change. They unpack cases like the one involving Rob Reiner, where his son, who has schizophrenia, is suspected of murdering both his parents during a severe mental health crisis. Guest Gail Freedman joins later in the episode. She is the director, writer, and producer of a new documentary, “No One Cares About Crazy People.” It's inspired by Ron Powers acclaimed book of the same name and it's an intimate, immersive dive into the crisis and chaos of severe mental illness and the grassroots movement to do something about it. Guest Information: With over 25 years as an award-winning filmmaker, Gail Freedman has produced, directed, and written dozens of documentaries on a wide range of subjects. Among her films: “Hot to Trot,” an award-winning feature documentary inside the fascinating but little-known world of same-sex competitive ballroom dance; “Making the 9/11 Memorial,” a primetime special for The History Channel; “Breaking the Silence Barrier” (cognitive disabilities); “Where's The Cure?” (breast cancer activism); “Generation Rx” (the opioid crisis); “Lessons for the Future” (public education); “Giving While Living” (philanthropy); and “A Forever Family” (Annie E. Casey Foundation). “No One Cares About Crazy People”Inspired by Ron Powers' acclaimed book of the same name, “No One Cares About Crazy People” is an intimate deep dive into the crisis and chaos of severe mental illness in America. A heartbreaking family memoir and searing social history, it is personal and immersive — but also tracks a burgeoning grassroots movement to reinvent our failed systems.

    Helping Hands for Widows' Needs: Rene's Story

    Sometimes, a simple phone call becomes more than a request for help. It becomes a picture of the body of Christ at work. A few months ago, a listener named Renee from North Carolina called the show during a difficult season. As a widow raising her special-needs grandchildren on a fixed income, she was carrying a heavy burden. Medical bills were mounting, daily expenses were rising, and her grandchildren's needs were increasing. Renee later described that season as a time when she felt she was “running out of options.” There was only so much money available, and the girls were beginning to need more care and intervention than she could provide on her own. “It was disconcerting,” she said. “Things were falling apart.” But that phone call did not end with her struggle. It became the beginning of something deeply encouraging. A Listener Responds After Renee shared her story on the program, another listener, Dwayne, heard her need and felt led to help. Renee had never met him. She did not know his name at the time. But within a couple of days, she received word that someone wanted to step in and assist. Her first response was disbelief. “I'm still trying to process it,” she said. “There certainly had to be more people deserving than me.” But as the situation unfolded, Renee began to see the Lord's hand in it. “This had to have come from God,” she said. “You don't turn God down.” Help Given With Care FaithFi works with Helping Hands in situations like this to ensure needs are carefully reviewed and assistance is handled wisely. Helping Hands walks through a process that includes reviewing documents and bills, conducting interviews, and confirming the specific needs. In Renee's case, the ministry met with her several times, verified the situation, and then paid the bills directly. That support helped provide relief in several areas. Renee received assistance with her mortgage, groceries, and gas. She had recently started going to a food bank, but her grandchildren's doctor appointments often prevented her from getting there. As food and gas prices continued to rise, even practical help with daily expenses made a significant difference. “It was just mind-boggling,” Renee said. The Gift of Prayer While the financial assistance was meaningful, Renee also wanted listeners to know that their prayers were felt. “To the listeners, first, you can feel the prayers that go out,” she said. “It's palpable.” She described a series of events that followed, moments where she knew people were actively praying for her and her grandchildren. That spiritual support helped lift the burden she had been carrying. “I'm able to smile and give genuine hugs and devote my brain to my girls,” she said. “That is God's gift.” A Word of Thanks When Renee finally learned Dwayne's name, she said she could now add him to her prayers. “To Dwayne, I am forever in your debt,” she said. “Your heart is huge. I don't know your situation, but God bless you. Truly, God bless you, because you made a world of difference for my girls and me.” Her gratitude was not only for the financial support but for the reminder that she had not been forgotten. God had used the generosity of one listener, the prayers of many, and the careful work of a ministry partner to bring help at just the right time. Bearing One Another's Burdens Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” That is what we see in Renee's story. One member of the body of Christ carried a heavy load. Another member saw the need and responded. Others prayed. A ministry came alongside with wisdom and care. This is not merely a story of generosity. It is a picture of Christian love in action. When God's people respond to real needs with compassion, wisdom, and humility, burdens are shared. Hope is strengthened. And the body of Christ bears witness to the love of Christ. Renee's story reminds us that no act of generosity is too small when placed in God's hands. A phone call, a prayer, a gift, or a willingness to step into someone else's burden can become a powerful expression of grace. And sometimes, when one person's burden becomes another person's calling, we get to see the church become what it was always meant to be. If you ever hear a story on this program and feel prompted to help, we'd love to hear from you. While we can't meet every need, we do have a careful process through our partnership with Helping Hands to connect generous listeners with verified needs.  If you'd like to explore how you might come alongside someone in that way, email us at info@faithfi.com or let us know when you call the program. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm looking for advice on credit repair. What steps can I take to improve and rebuild my credit? My two grandchildren, ages 17½ and 16, inherited about $10,000 currently in CDs that are coming due. Should we let the CDs roll over for another two years at about 4%, or is there a better way to invest the money so it can grow and they won't have full access until closer to age 21? I'm a sole proprietor and have worked for 47 years. I often help family members during emergencies, but some struggle with consistent work. How do I balance generosity with not enabling dependence, and where should I draw the line? I have a 401(k) through Empower, and my investments seem very volatile. Should I keep using the current options, switch to a target-date fund, or consider their managed account service—especially given the fees?

    In this episode, Chris sits down with Ben Nowack, co-founder and CEO of Reflect Orbital, one of the first companies building satellites that redirect sunlight from orbit to specific spots on Earth - with the goal of delivering sunlight on demand, 24/7. Why would you want sunlight 24/7? Agriculture and farming, construction projects, rescue missions, military operations, powering solar panels closer to 100% of the time instead of ~30%, etc. Ben started Reflect in 2021. He spent the first year in a garage, $60k in credit card debt, before a $350k raise came in. Reflect has now raised more than $35 million - Sequoia led the seed (its first space investment since SpaceX), Lux Capital led the $20M Series A - and launches its first satellite later this year. They discuss: - A speech Gwynne Shotwell gave during his tenure at SpaceX that he will never forget - What he learned while working at SpaceX that he implements at Reflect - The story of building the actual company and why building hardware is hard - How they think about vertical integration - The trillion $ business case for redirecting sunlight - How he recruits technical talent - what works and what doesn't Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (1:07) "Rockets Are Cool, But They're Not the Big Money Makers" (7:00) Lessons from SpaceX: What Ben Took (and Left Behind) (16:35) The Origin: From High School Fusion Reactors to Reflect Orbital (25:10) The Fossil Fuel Problem and Why It's So Hard to Beat (28:37) "By 3 AM You Have a Minimum Viable Financial Model" (35:44) The Breakthrough: Putting Mirrors in Space (41:00) Building the First Satellite (51:03) First Satellite and Seven-Figure Demand Nobody Expected (57:00) The Constellation Plan: 18 Satellites, Global Coverage (1:10:00) What It's Like to Order Sunlight (1:22:00) Why Fashion Designers Build Better Spacecraft Than JWST Engineers (1:25:36) The 10-Year Vision: Starship, Scale, and Powering the Earth Find our sponsors: Collateral Partners - https://collateral.com/fort Relay Human Cloud - https://www.relayhumancloud.com/powers/ Download FastJets: iOs: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fastjets/id6756160345 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyjetting.app Chris on Social Media: X: https://x.com/fortworthchris Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepowerspodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrispowersjr/ 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

    Lara Love Hardin had the perfect cul-de-sac life: a million-dollar home, kids, the soccer-mom routine. What no one knew was that she and her husband were funding a heroin addiction by stealing their neighbors' credit cards. When the police finally knocked, she was charged with dozens of felonies and became inmate S32179. In this conversation, Lara takes us inside her descent into opioid addiction, what her time in county jail was like and the unlikely path that took her from a jail cell to ghostwriting New York Times bestsellers and an Oprah's Book Club pick for her own memoir, The Many Lives of Mama Love. We talk addiction, shame, the criminal justice system, second chances, and how she rebuilt a life most people thought was over. _____________________________________________ #addictionrecovery #TrueCrime #secondchances _____________________________________________ Connect with Lara Love Hardin: Website: https://www.laralovehardin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laralovehardin/?hl=en Book: https://www.amazon.com/Many-Lives-Mama-Love-Stealing-ebook/dp/B0BPDNW33W/ref=books_amazonstores_desktop_mfs_author_smart_catalog_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=NMLe6&content-id=amzn1.sym.aec507cb-142c-4f68-9ae5-803b8e7b33f1&pf_rd_p=aec507cb-142c-4f68-9ae5-803b8e7b33f1&pf_rd_r=136-6178201-4449817&pd_rd_wg=GRZoL&pd_rd_r=3432d7e9-c686-4577-8237-d731c18fd71a _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: Laura Love Harden's Story 00:30 Her Childhood and Upbringing 01:45 Escaping Through Books and Education 03:42 Family Secrets No One Talked About 06:07 Trying to Fit In During High School 07:00 College and a Fresh Start 08:48 Marriage, Motherhood & Quiet Struggles 09:54 The First Painkillers 11:02 The Hidden Pattern of Family Addiction 13:45 Fighting Pill Addiction—and Denial 16:26 Sobriety, Remarriage & New Beginnings 17:41 The Day She Found Out: Heroin Relapse 20:08 The Rapid Downfall Into Crime 22:15 What Daily Life as an Addict Was Really Like 24:50 How She Justified the Crimes 27:02 The Arrest That Broke the Family Apart 31:15 First Days in Jail 36:33 A Mental Health Crisis Behind Bars 41:03 The Legal System and Family Fallout 47:00 The Plea Deal & Gender Disparities in Sentencing 53:13 Motherhood, Shame & the Community's Reaction 01:00:02 Life After Jail: Rebuilding From Zero 01:11:20 Starting Over: A Career in Literary Agency 01:20:28 Facing Stigma & Earning Redemption 01:26:20 Advocacy and Supporting Incarcerated Women 01:33:01 Writing the Modern Memoir 01:38:18 Regrets, Lessons & Parenting Reflections 01:41:45 What's Next: Fiction and TV _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing from his new book, How to Ride the Subway, he explains why successful investing often comes down to patience, trust, and resisting the urge to outsmart the market. On this episode we talk about: How Jim's early experiences investing shaped his career in wealth management Lessons learned from serving as a nuclear submarine officer in the U.S. Navy Why trust, empathy, and communication are essential in financial advising The dangers of market timing, day trading, and speculative investing Current market conditions, inflation concerns, and the future of major AI-driven IPOs Top 3 Takeaways Long-term investing consistently outperforms attempts to time the market, and missing just a handful of the market's best days can dramatically reduce returns. Successful financial advisors build trust through empathy, honesty, and consistent communication—not just investment performance. Speculation and gambling often masquerade as investing, but true wealth creation comes from patience, discipline, and owning quality assets over time. Notable Quotes "Trust is the currency of the financial advisory world." "The best days in the market almost always happen right next to the worst days." "Trading rapidly is a good way to lose money."

    In this episode of Faith Talks, Anna Faith Fuller interviews Terrilaina Gillmore about her journey of faith, missions, and surrender to God's will. From her salvation as a young girl to her burden for orphans and medical missions, Teri shares how God used His Word, missions trips, and even painful trials to make His calling clear. Her testimony challenges young ladies to stop chasing the easy road and instead follow the fulfilling road of knowing God, hearing His voice, and stepping forward in faith. Topics Discussed Teri's salvation testimony and early desire to know God through His Word How missions trips shaped her view of the world and burden for others Her heart for orphans and how nursing became part of that calling Lessons learned through medical ministry in Ghana How God used an injury in Papua New Guinea to confirm His direction The sufficiency of God's grace in moments of weakness The danger of worldly voices crowding out God's Word Why young ladies must make clear decisions to follow God's will The difference between an easy life and a fulfilling life Key Takeaways God's will is not always easy, but it is always fulfilling. Weakness does not disqualify you from usefulness; it may be the very place where God shows His strength. God often uses trials to clarify His direction in your life. Young people must intentionally silence competing voices if they want to hear God clearly. Time in God's Word transforms your desires, decisions, and direction. The world is not neutral, so passive Christianity is not safe Christianity. God wants to use surrendered young people in ways far bigger than they realize.

    #326 In this episode, Billy shares inspiring lessons from a historic Knicks comeback game that mirror key principles for overcoming adversity in business and personal finance.  Discover how small wins, focusing on what you can control, and systems can transform your approach to challenges. Main Content: Billy introduces the episode's unexpected but timely focus on resilience, inspired by a Knicks game where they overcame a 29-point deficit in the finals. Lessons are drawn from sports to finance and life, emphasizing mindset and perseverance. Small wins matter: showing up is the first step, whether in fitness, business, or personal growth. The importance of stepping outside comfort zones by making small, intentional actions, such as asking for business or saving a little more each week. Focus on controllable factors: attitudes, actions, and financial hygiene, instead of external circumstances. Recognizing that successful people often face bigger problems, but their mindset and systems differentiate them. The significance of financial literacy: knowing your numbers, forecasting, and automation in savings, investments, and giving. Building systems like budgeting and automation to ensure consistency, especially during tough times, prevents reliance on willpower alone. The analogy of the Knicks' game to business: small wins lead to bigger victories, and controlling what you can makes a difference. Final thoughts: developing resilience and systems equips you to meet challenges more effectively, and taking responsibility fuels long-term success.

    How to Handle a Market Bubble with Mark Biller

    Many investors are wondering whether the market is getting ahead of itself, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence and technology stocks. But perhaps the better question is not, “Are we in a bubble?” The better question may be, “How should we respond if we are?” That was the focus of today's conversation with Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing. With AI continuing to drive market enthusiasm, many investors are feeling both excitement and concern. The challenge is learning how to respond with wisdom rather than fear. Why Investors Are Concerned About AI and Tech The AI story has been driving markets for several years. One clear example is the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which has risen sharply since the end of the 2022 bear market. More recently, many companies have reported rapid profit growth and have credited AI as a key factor. That has encouraged investors because it shows AI is not merely hype. Companies across many industries are beginning to see real benefits from AI tools, including improved efficiency and increased profitability. At the same time, the demand for AI computing power has caused certain sectors—especially semiconductor stocks—to soar. When any part of the market begins rising almost straight up, investors naturally become nervous. It brings to mind previous market manias that ended in painful declines. Is This Really a Bubble? Calling a bubble in real time is extremely difficult. Even when someone identifies one correctly, acting on that information too early can be costly. Mark pointed to the late 1990s internet bubble as an example. Many investors suspected that Internet stocks were overheated long before the bubble actually burst. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously warned about “irrational exuberance,” but that warning came more than three years before the market peak. Investors who sold immediately missed significant gains before the downturn finally arrived. That illustrates an important point: even if a bubble is forming, that does not tell investors exactly what to do or when to do it. Markets are forward-looking. Investors are pricing companies not only on current earnings but also on what they believe those companies may earn in the future. If expectations rise dramatically, stock prices often rise with them. So it is possible that some parts of the market, such as semiconductor stocks, may be showing bubble-like characteristics while the broader market does not look as overheated. But the practical question remains: how should investors respond? Avoid Fear-Based Market Timing Most investors would love to avoid downturns without missing the upside. But in practice, that kind of market timing is extremely difficult. Investors often make one of two mistakes. Some sell too early and miss major gains. Others wait too long and sell only after stocks have already fallen, and fear has taken over. That is why a disciplined plan matters. Instead of trying to predict the exact top of the market, wise investors focus on staying invested while managing risk thoughtfully. Historically, some of the market's strongest gains occur late in bull markets. That does not mean investors should ignore risk, but it does mean that fear-based decisions can be costly. Diversification Still Matters One of the most practical ways to manage risk is through diversification. A well-balanced portfolio helps reduce the risk of becoming overly exposed to a single hot sector. Mark offered a helpful way to think about it: if everything you own is rising at the same time, or if nothing you own is rising, you may not be truly diversified. But if some holdings are doing very well while others seem to be lagging, that may actually be a sign that your portfolio is properly balanced. Diversification can feel frustrating when one part of the market is racing ahead. But its purpose is not to maximize every short-term gain. Its purpose is to help investors remain steady through a variety of market environments. Rebalancing Is a Disciplined Way to Manage Risk Another practical tool is rebalancing. When one part of a portfolio has grown significantly, rebalancing allows investors to shift some gains out of fast-rising assets and back into areas that have not run up as much. This helps manage risk without requiring investors to predict the future. Rebalancing also has an emotional benefit. It gives investors a clear process to follow. Instead of asking, “Should I sell everything?” they can simply make measured adjustments in line with their plan. That kind of discipline can help investors avoid impulsive decisions driven by fear or excitement. Keep Reasonable Expectations Investors also need realistic expectations. Markets do not move up in a straight line forever. If you stay invested in strong-performing sectors, there is a good chance you will eventually give back some gains when leadership changes or when a bear market arrives. That is part of investing. The goal is not to avoid every decline. The goal is to participate in the market's long-term growth while managing risk wisely along the way. Even defensive investing comes with trade-offs. Playing defense too aggressively—or too early—can lead to false alarms and missed returns. Staying invested longer may bring more growth, but it also means enduring discomfort when markets pull back. There is no perfect way to avoid every downside while capturing every gain. Know Your Temperament Successful investing is not only about knowledge. It is also about behavior. Investors who tend to do well over time are often those who can remain patient, diversified, disciplined, and emotionally steady in both strong and difficult markets. That is especially important when headlines are filled with bubble talk. Fear can push investors to sell too soon. Excitement can push them to chase what has already risen. Neither is a wise foundation for financial decision-making. A Wise Response to Market Uncertainty When markets look overheated, investors do not have to ignore the risks. But they also do not have to be ruled by them. A wise response begins with a disciplined, diversified, long-term plan. Rebalance periodically. Keep expectations realistic. Understand your own temperament. And avoid making major decisions based on fear, excitement, or the latest market chatter. Markets can stay hot longer than many people expect, and guessing the exact turning point usually creates more problems than it solves. But a thoughtful strategy can help investors respond with wisdom rather than react emotionally.

    Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 2: "Lessons on the Lamb" Season two of the David series backtracks a bit this week — picking up not after the Bathsheba scandal, but earlier, when Saul is still king and wants David dead. "Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in." Jealous and paranoid over David's growing popularity (there was literally a chorus about him: "Saul has slain his thousands, David his tens of thousands"), Saul starts hurling actual spears at him. So David goes "on the lamb" — on the run — which gives this message its title: Lessons on the Lamb. First lesson: strength doesn't always look like what we think it looks like. Even though David once stood fearlessly before Goliath, here he is running from a "washed up warrior." Why? Because David understood it wasn't his timing or his fight to pick. "There are battles in your life... that only God can fight." Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do isn't retaliate — it's walk away. "If I respond, it is not peace. It is debris, it is chaos, it is destruction, and I may feel right or think that it's right, but it doesn't make it right." Discernment — sometimes in the form of a spouse saying "babe" — matters. "Strength doesn't always look like you think that strength looks. It's a different kind of strength." Second lesson, and maybe the coolest full-circle moment in David's life: old swords, new battles. After defeating Goliath, David took the giant's own sword as a trophy. Years later, fleeing from Saul and desperate for a weapon, David arrives at the tabernacle in Nob, and the priest Ahimelech tells him there's only one sword available — Goliath's, wrapped in cloth, practically forgotten. David's response: "There is none like it. Give it to me." The lesson lands personally: "The battles from your past are the weapons for your future." Nothing you've gone through was wasted. "God does not waste anything in our lives." And the weapon isn't just for you — "it helps other people too." The final lesson is what gets called a "looney lesson." Fleeing into enemy territory — the city of Gath, ruled by King Achish — David realizes he's been recognized and is in real danger. So he does something wild: he pretends to be insane, scratching on the gate and drooling into his beard, until Achish dismisses him as a madman not worth the trouble. "Sometimes doing the right thing will make you look like a mad person." When you're doing what God has called you to do, "it's not always going to make sense to other people." And that's fine — "our purpose is more than to impress people. We are here to honor the sacrifice of Jesus' life on the cross." After all, the message of the cross itself looked like foolishness to the world — "the one who knew no sin became sin on my behalf... it's foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." Three lessons from a man on the run: a different kind of strength, old swords for new battles, and sometimes a little bit of "crazy" is exactly what faithfulness looks like.

    Mike Armistead has been in the room for almost every major technology wave of the past 30 years — from client-server computing, to the early internet at Lycos, to application security at Fortify Software (acquired by HP), to AI-driven security at Respond Software (acquired by FireEye for $186M, eventually folded into Google). Now on his sixth startup, he's CEO of Pulse Security AI, building what he calls a "system of record" for security leaders — giving CISOs the same kind of business-level visibility that CFOs get from their ERP and sales leaders get from their CRM.In this episode, Jeff and Mike dig into the weight of inertia that slows every major technology transition, why conviction is the one thing that gets founders through the rough patches, and how to stress-test your assumptions before spending a year building something people will admire but never buy. They also go deep on the evolving cybersecurity landscape — why security tools have historically grown in siloed, technical layers, why AI-driven threats (deepfakes, impersonation, prompt injection) are accelerating faster than most organizations can respond, and why scenario planning is no longer a quarterly exercise — it's a survival skill.Key Takeaways0:00 — Intro: The real obstacle to technology transitions isn't innovation — it's the weight of existing systems, habits, and inertia3:00 — Why conviction is the essential quality that gets founders through rough patches in every startup cycle7:00 — Lessons from Reed Hastings' Pure Software: culture, ethics, and values were being built even before Netflix9:00 — Risk evaluation after multiple exits: what Mike learned from walking into a high-debt company right before 9/11 — and why structural due diligence matters as much as product quality11:30 — The value of tabletop exercises: role-playing "what if" scenarios with co-founders and executives surfaces risks you'd never otherwise think about12:45 — What is Pulse Security AI?

It's what gets you through the rough patches — and there are always rough patches." — Mike Armistead"History doesn't repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. You're gonna encounter certain things everywhere, and you have to learn how to break out of the bucket people want to put you in." — Mike Armistead"'That's cool' is not the same as 'I'd pay for that.' You have to listen for when they start thinking about how they can buy it." — Mike Armistead"Risk mitigation isn't a 'done' setting. Just because you're certified today doesn't mean you're protected tomorrow." — Mike Armistead"We live in a trust-and-verify world. If something is asking you to do something you wouldn't normally do, the flags have to go up." — Mike Armistead"AI doesn't scale people. It scales attacks. The infrastructure we built was designed for a different threat landscape." — Mike ArmisteadSaaS Leadership LessonsConviction is your most valuable asset in a hard growth cycle. Every startup goes through wild swings. The founders who make it through aren't the ones with the best product at every moment — they're the ones who maintained conviction that what they were building would be genuinely valuable to their customers. Momentum fades. Conviction doesn't.Do your structural due diligence before you walk in. Mike's hardest lesson came from his first CEO role: a high-debt company that collapsed not because the business was failing, but because lenders called loans after 9/11. The business itself was fine. The structure killed it. Always understand the financial architecture of what you're walking into — especially in uncertain macro environments.Run tabletop exercises with your leadership team. Don't wait for a crisis to figure out your response. Role-play "what if" scenarios regularly with your co-founders and executives. Someone always surfaces a risk you hadn't considered — and the solutions are often simpler than you'd expect. This is no longer optional; it's a survival skill.Know where you are in the adoption curve — and don't fight it. Early adopters will take a chance on you because they see competitive advantage. Mainstream buyers need proof points. Late adopters need to see their peers doing it. Pestering a mainstream buyer with an early-stage pitch isn't a winning fight. Build for the stage you're actually in.Ask the uncomfortable pricing question early and often. Founders are wired to build. We're not always wired to sell. But the market will tell you the truth faster than any advisor. Ask potential customers directly: "Would you pay X for this?" Fight through the politeness. Watch for buying signals — when someone starts thinking about procurement rather than just nodding along, you're onto something.Stop building for "cool" — build for "when can I buy it?" Customer enthusiasm and purchase intent are not the same thing. If your beta testers are telling you it's great but nobody's asking how to get it, you haven't found product-market fit. Continually test your story, move toward a bigger narrative when needed, and keep engaging the market until the signals change.Guest Resourcesmike@pulsesecurity.aipulsesecurity.aihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-armistead-1164715/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains
