Our guest for today's episode is one of the most exciting sprinters in the world right now. Julien Alfred is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100m, a World Indoor champion in the 60m, and the athlete who is rewriting history for St. Lucia on the biggest stages in track.On February 1st, 2026, Julien will return to The Armory in New York City to headline the women's 60m at the Millrose Games — the same track where she ran a meet record back in 2024 before going on to win world and Olympic gold.Our conversation with her isn't just about medals or times; it's about what comes after the breakthrough year and how you learn to carry success without letting it crush you.Julien opens up about navigating pressure, expectations, and loneliness at the top and about growing up fast in St. Lucia, leaving home to chase a dream in Jamaica, Texas, and beyond, and learning how to protect her mental health while still pushing her limits.We talk about trust — in her coach Edrick Floreal, in the process, and in herself — and why 2026 feels less about proving something to the world and more about rediscovering joy in the sport she loves.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Julien Alfred | @julien.alfred on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

It's the end of 2025 and to celebrate I thought I'd run through some of the best lessons I've picked up over the last 12 months. This year has had over 10,000 minutes of episodes produced so there was a lot to choose from but I ended up settling on 23 insights from some of my favourite conversations, both inside and outside of the podcast. Expect to learn why I try to stay out of internet drama, how not to care about what other people think of you, why you shouldn't have shame in small fears, how to use vulnerability to your advantage and show true strength, why procrastination is often about fear, what the Atlas Complex, Input-Output Delusion and The Anorexic Hermit Crab is, and much more...

Pascal Wagner interviews Matt Faircloth, John Casmon, and Ash Patel in a year-end roundtable reflecting on the biggest lessons from 2025 across their own portfolios and hundreds of investor interviews. The group digs into why distress has been slower and more “behind the scenes” than expected, how liquidity, discipline, and deal structure mattered more than macro predictions, and why many LPs are now prioritizing cash flow and capital preservation over appreciation. They also debate bridge debt, LP risk assessment, and where opportunities may emerge in 2026—from small-cap multifamily inefficiencies to deeply discounted office assets—while emphasizing accountability, conservative underwriting, and adaptability as the cycle evolves.

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm sharing what happened last week when I pushed myself too hard, ignored my body, and had to make the heartbreaking (but powerful) decision to cancel plans to see Oprah. 

On this episode of Inside the Headset – Presented by CoachComm, we're joined by Clint Killough, Head Coach at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW). This conversation was recorded prior to the start of the season. Coach Killough reflects on his journey through football, how the game shaped his relationships, and the experiences that guided his coaching career. He also discusses what it means to be in charge of an FCS program, the responsibility that comes with leading young men, and the importance of culture, trust, and personal growth within a team. Topics include: How football influenced Coach Killough's life and relationships Lessons learned throughout his coaching journey Growth through different coaching roles Leadership and responsibility as a head coach Becoming the head coach at UIW

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work. Today we're doing something a little different for the Christmas break. We're sharing an episode from our friend Jeremy Cline's podcast Change Work Life, where Al joined him to reflect on Jeremy's first year as a full-time coach. This conversation marks Jeremy's 200th episode, and instead of interviewing someone else, he turns the spotlight on himself. It's a rare, honest look at what actually happens when you leave a stable career after 20 years and try to build something new from scratch. No glossy “quit and make six figures” narrative — just the real, messy middle that most founders and coaches quietly go through. Al and Jeremy dig into the emotional, financial and identity shifts that come with starting your own business, what surprised Jeremy the most, and why meaningful conversations — not logos or websites — became the backbone of his first year. If you're thinking of going out on your own, supporting someone who is, or you're simply curious about what a year of reinvention looks like behind the scenes, this is the perfect listen for the quieter days of December.

Cindy Gallop is a brand and business innovator, consultant, coach, and keynote speaker who helps leaders and organizations change the game in their industries. Known for her radical, no-status-quo approach to business transformation, she's unapologetically bold — "I like to blow shit up. I am the Michael Bay of business." She empowers people and companies to own the future — to become the leaders they want to be, build the businesses they envision, and create truly inclusive, gender-equal workplaces. Cindy believes adversity breeds opportunity and that today's breakdowns create space for the boldest new ideas to emerge. As a consultant, coach, and diversity advocate, Cindy works with forward-thinking brands and leaders ready to reinvent themselves, driving transformative growth through fearless creativity and strategic innovation — helping them blow up what's broken and build what's next. During the show we discuss: What it really means to disrupt business responsibly and rebuild what's broken Designing future-ready companies rooted in trust and innovation Turning crisis, disruption, and fear into growth opportunities Why trust-driven leadership outperforms control-based cultures Building inclusion, equality, and diversity directly into the profit model Shifting from surface-level D&I efforts to systems that drive real change Lessons from working with iconic global brands and building taboo-breaking companies The mindset shift required to blow up the old and build what's next Resources: https://cindygallop.com/  

Every year, illegal mining, fishing, and logging drain billions of dollars from West Africa's economies as the problem persists largely unchecked, with Chinese actors playing an outsized role. Fueled by chronic corruption among local regulators across the region and seemingly insatiable demand for these resources in China, curtailing these illegal activities often feels impossible. But there's still hope. Earlier this year, a group of 21 scholars and analysts, mostly from West Africa, came together to develop new solutions and policy recommendations to reform the mining, timber, and fishing trades, empowering local communities while reducing local corruption. Their findings were released earlier this fall in a series of three reports co-published by the Keogh School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame and the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C. Two of the project organizations, Notre Dame Professor Joshua Eisenman, and Caroline Costello, assistant director of the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub, join Eric & Géraud to discuss the reports and how China can play a constructive role in helping to end illegal resource extraction in West Africa.

When big dental chains focus on numbers and efficiency, what happens when patients crave genuine connection instead?In this episode, Dr. Whitney and Steve Sebree share their journey building a private dental practice in Surprise, Arizona, known for its warm, personalized approach. They discuss the importance of community connection, how they foster long-term patient relationships, and why putting Dr. Whitney's face front and center in their marketing helps attract retirees seeking attentive, nonjudgmental care (often in contrast to experiences at larger DSOs.)Dr. Whitney and Steve dive deep into the realities of running a small private practice in a DSO-saturated area, revealing how quality care and trust win over patients despite competitive pricing challenges. They openly discuss the impact of team changes on their systems, the lessons learned from these challenges, and how adapting with better processes and hiring has made their practice stronger. The conversation wraps up with actionable wisdom on compassionate communication, the crucial role of mentorship, and why giving yourself grace is essential when building a practice (and a life) together.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to create a community-focused, patient-first dental practiceSmart marketing tactics that resonate with retirees and new patientsAdvantages and challenges of practicing among Dental Service OrganizationsThe power of free second opinions to establish credibility and trustWhy longer consultations can transform patient relationshipsLessons learned from staff turnover and operational hiccupsHow process-driven hiring improves practice managementSimple strategies to boost new patient conversion over the phoneBalancing business partnership and marriage in a high-touch practiceAdvice for new dentists on embracing mistakes and enjoying the journeyHit play to uncover practical, heartfelt strategies for building a dental practice focused on people, not just numbers.‍Sponsors:‍Net32: Founded by a dentist, for dentists.

Send us a textThank you, Chad Murphy, for making this week's episode possible!A bullied kid named Blue walked into a dojo and found a lifetime blueprint for leadership at home and at work. That mentor didn't just teach kicks—he taught trust, focus, and a community model that turns students into teachers. In this conversation, we go deep on how those early lessons shape the way we parent, listen, and show up for the people we lead.Blue Stiley is a professional keynote speaker, podcast host, and author who has spent decades uncovering and cultivating potential in himself and others. He discovered his passion for mentoring and entrepreneurship at just 13 while teaching martial arts, and over the past 30 years, he has carried that gift forward to inspire leaders, teams, and communities.We talk about “currency,” the motivations that really move someone, and how a single, well-aimed sentence from a trusted mentor can redirect a teenager more effectively than a hundred lectures. Blue shares a raw look at learning from two fathers: the sensei who modeled presence and the biological dad who modeled what to avoid. That “two-teacher lens” fuels his philosophy as a model, actor, strength coach to Olympians, and now keynote speaker: earn trust, make genuine connections, and build a community where people feel heard, seen, and valued.You'll hear practical mindset tools too. Leave problems at the door to train your focus. Put the phone down because a kid's request is a 10-minute window, not an hour. Let the egg break—experiments teach faster than warnings. Teach self-defense literacy without pressure by emphasizing hips-first power and clean fundamentals. And don't miss the baseball cards hustle: a cafeteria side deal turned into licensed tables at card shows, powered by a mom who drove the miles and believed. That story paid for college and cemented a simple definition of success—pickups after school, family dinners, and presence that compounds.If you're a parent, coach, or leader, this one will sharpen your approach. Listen, learn someone's currency, and build a community around them. If it resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what lesson are you taking into your home this week?Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

With college costs rising faster than inflation, many families feel cornered—scrambling for scholarships, stretching savings, or bracing for years of student loan payments. But there's one meaningful option that often gets overlooked: military service.For students who feel led to serve, military pathways can provide full tuition, a monthly stipend, and exceptional leadership development—all while graduating debt-free. Today, we sat down with Matt Bell, Managing Editor at Sound Mind Investing, to explore how these programs work and who they're best suited for.Matt brings a personal connection to this topic. One of his sons is currently attending the U.S. Air Force Academy, and his insight helped illuminate both the opportunity—and the responsibility—this path entails.Why Military Education Pathways Are Often MissedFor the right student, military service can be a remarkable way to fund higher education. And that qualifier matters.As Matt shared, these programs are designed for students who are willing to serve their country and take on demanding challenges. In return, the military offers generous education benefits through several primary pathways—most notably the U.S. Service Academies and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC).Beyond the financial benefits, these programs offer leadership training and real-world experience that traditional colleges can't replicate. Matt mentioned that his son is currently choosing between summer programs such as jump school, where cadets learn to parachute, and soaring school, which involves flying gliders. Those aren't exactly typical college electives.The U.S. Service Academies: What Families Should KnowThere are five U.S. Service Academies:U.S. Military Academy (West Point)U.S. Air Force AcademyU.S. Naval AcademyU.S. Coast Guard AcademyU.S. Merchant Marine AcademyAt each academy, tuition, room, and board are fully covered, and students receive a monthly stipend. But admission is highly competitive. Some academies have acceptance rates as low as 9–10%.Applicants are evaluated holistically. Strong academic performance, high SAT or ACT scores, physical fitness, athletic participation, and demonstrated leadership all matter. Character is essential as well—letters of recommendation play a key role.And then there's one more hurdle: a nomination from a member of Congress or the Vice President (required for all academies except the Coast Guard). That process alone requires early planning and persistence.Graduates of the service academies don't walk away with a “free” education—they earn it through service.Typically, graduates commit to five years of active-duty service followed by three years in the reserves. Specific roles, such as pilots, require longer commitments—often up to ten years after specialized training.All graduates are commissioned as officers, gaining leadership experience that opens doors to a wide range of future careers, both within and beyond the military.ROTC: A Different—but Still Powerful—OptionROTC offers another pathway and is available on more than 1,700 college campuses nationwide.Unlike the academies, ROTC students experience a more traditional college environment. They typically wear uniforms one day a week rather than full-time, and they integrate military training alongside their academic studies.ROTC scholarships can cover tuition and room and board, and graduates are commissioned at the same officer rank as academy graduates. Service commitments are generally slightly shorter, but the calling to serve remains central.As appealing as debt-free college and leadership training may sound, there's a sobering reality families must weigh carefully.Choosing this path means committing to serve your country—and that includes the possibility of combat. This isn't just a financial decision or a résumé booster. It requires discernment, maturity, conviction, and a willingness to place service above self.Final ThoughtsMilitary education pathways are not for every student—but for the right one, they can be transformative. They offer freedom from student debt, unparalleled leadership development, and the opportunity to serve something greater than oneself.As families prayerfully consider college decisions, this option deserves thoughtful, informed consideration—not just for what it provides, but for what it asks in return.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have Parkinson's and will need to stop working soon. I live in a paid-off home, and I also own a beach property with a mortgage. Once I stop working, I won't be able to afford that payment. The beach home has been on the market for over a year and a half without selling. If I allow the bank to foreclose on it, what are the consequences—especially when it comes to taxes and whether it could affect my primary residence?I'm trying to understand whether a will is enough for my situation or if I need additional estate planning. I want to be sure my children receive everything I intend to leave to them.I'm taking early retirement from the government and have just over $1 million in my Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). I'm in my early 50s and plan to focus full-time on caring for my family.

In this episode, host Jed Doherty welcomes acclaimed author Jon Erik Lappano to discuss his latest picture book, "The Language of Birds." Lappano shares the inspiration behind the story, which centers on Mira, a solitary child who forms a deep connection with birds while struggling to communicate with people. Through their conversation, Lappano reflects on the importance of honoring quieter, introverted children in literature, drawing from his experiences as a parent and observer of childhood dynamics. He emphasizes the value of imagination, unstructured time, and engagement with the natural world, expressing concern over the effects of screens and the need for children to find belonging in multiple ways. Lappano also shares insights into his creative process, describing how ideas often take shape over time and how feedback from his own children helps refine his work. The discussion explores themes of unconventional friendships, nonverbal communication, and the powerful magic found in simple connections to art and nature. Later in the episode, Dr. Uzma Farooq joins to introduce her book, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Other Great Stories with Lessons." Dr. Farooq describes how she and her sons collaboratively retold Aesop's Fables, modernizing language and illustrations while preserving the lessons and emotional depth of the originals. Her passion for storytelling and dedication to sharing classic tales with a new generation make for a thoughtful and enlightening conversation. We also welcome Heather Fountaine Youngs back to the show to celebrate her new children's book "Mine!"

Laurie Pascoe practiced law in Ottawa, Ontario for more than forty years while writing over fifty articles, teaching continuing legal education, and serving thousands of clients. In this episode, Laurie explains why lawyers must evolve, how client service impacts malpractice claims, and why thinking like a client can make your legal practice more effective and more enjoyable.Lawyer Side HustlesWriting has been Laurie's creative and intellectual outlet. He has written articles for lawyers and articles for clients, using writing as a way to educate, clarify legal issues, and reduce client overwhelm. Long before law firm websites were common, he built one of the first in Ottawa and filled it with free educational content. He also became one of the earliest lawyers in the region to advertise legally after restrictions were lifted.“I had so many articles that when the internet came along, I had a million things to throw on my website right away,” shares Laurie Pascoe in Episode 79 of You Are a Lawyer.His most significant project became his book, Innovative Legal Service Applications: A Guide to Improved Client Services, published by the ABA. For Laurie, these writing projects were not hobbies. They were a way to teach lawyers, improve client outcomes, and share practical tools to help the profession evolve. His side work helped shape how many lawyers think about systems, client service, and ethics.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Smitha Rao—biotechnologist, longtime beauty innovator, and founder of Pareva Beauty—for a grounded, science-first conversation on what skin longevity actually means. Part of the Lessons in Longevity series, this episode challenges the tired idea of “anti-aging” and reframes skincare as long-term biological support rather than surface-level correction.With nearly two decades in biotech and beauty, Smitha brings a rare perspective shaped by molecule development, patents licensed across major brands, and leadership roles behind more than 200 products. That experience revealed a growing disconnect: while consumers want clarity and real science, the industry often defaults to hype, fear-based claims, and trend chasing. Pareva Beauty was born as a response—built on transparency, rigor, and the belief that longevity is about extending skin function and resilience, not reversing time.At the center of the discussion is Molecur 3™, Pareva's proprietary, plant-based technology inspired by the Hallmarks of Aging. Smitha explains how targeting inflammation, cellular stress, and age-related decline—rather than isolated “anti-aging” claims—creates a more realistic and sustainable path for skin health. The conversation also dives into plant-derived exosomal signaling, why it differs from human-derived systems, and how it offers a safer, scalable approach for topical longevity skincare.Together, Dr. Ekta and Smitha unpack why fewer, better-designed products outperform complex routines, why transparency matters more than vague “clean” labels, and how longevity skincare must earn trust through data—not promises.Listen to the full episode to hear how Smitha Rao is helping redefine the future of skincare—where science, honesty, and long-term skin health come first.Shop Parëva Beauty and use code SA20 for 20% through 3/17.CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction, Lessons in Longevity & Smitha Rao(1:21) - From Biotech to Beauty Innovation(2:50) - Why Pareva Was Created & The Longevity Gap(3:33) - Defining Skin Longevity & Extending Your Prime(5:38) - Rejecting Anti-Aging & Reframing Aging Quality(8:51) - Molecure 3™: Hallmarks of Aging Inspiration(10:27) - Plant Stem Cells, NAD⁺ & Exosome Signaling(14:00) - Exosomes Explained: Plant vs Human-Derived(22:51) - Simplifying Skincare: Fewer Steps, Better ResultsPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

I spent three and a half hours taking pro pickleball lessons and walked away realizing how many of the problems people are having in business have nothing to do with talent, luck, or effort. They come down to mindset, fundamentals, and who's pushing you to show up. In this episode, Lori and I break down 4 lessons that translate directly to business and leadership, why opportunities don't go to the hardest workers, why fundamentals always scale better than raw talent, and why staring at the scoreboard instead of working the plan is keeping so many people stuck. Get ready to be more prepared, more disciplined, and surrounded by the right people.   HIGHLIGHTS Why assuming the opportunity is coming to you changes everything. The mindset shift that makes you faster to act and win. How two men in their 70s destroyed talent with fundamentals. The pickleball lesson that changed how we think about business. Why staring at the score never grows your business. Why accountability partners matter more than motivation. How the right people force you into action when you'd normally procrastinate.   RESOURCES Shop the Glōci Holiday Sale (Buy 2, Get 1 Free until December 18) HERE!

What if you treated your business like an important asset? In this episode, I share a game-changing mindset shift that helped me build a multi-million dollar coaching business: thinking of my business as a growing asset, not just a job. This shift completely transformed how I showed up and how I invested in my business.   I explain why your business needs constant care and attention in its early stages, much like nurturing a baby. It requires ongoing effort, skill development, and commitment, even when it's tough. Rather than seeking quick passive income, this is about building your capacity to manage challenges and viewing your business as an asset with limitless potential.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

I want to share a story that still hits close to home. There was a season where I was losing my house, cash was bleeding out fast, and my wife was eight months pregnant. I had bought course after course, tried to learn everything, and still wasn't doing the one thing that mattered most. Taking action.That pressure forced me to make a decision. I stopped trying to customize everything and finally committed to following a proven system exactly as it was laid out. No tweaking. No overthinking. Just doing the uncomfortable work. That shift changed everything.In this episode, I break down the five lessons that helped me turn things around and why having the right coach and actually listening to them can save you years of frustration. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you are doing all the right things with nothing to show for it, this conversation might be the wake-up call you need.What's Inside: —Why following instructions matters more than trying to be creative early on—How a coach saves time, money, and painful mistakes—The power of accountability and focused action—Borrowing confidence until you build your own

What keeps you going when the work is demanding and the days feel relentless? In this solo episode of Everyday Oral Surgery, Dr. Grant Stucki reflects on why giving often leads to deeper, more lasting fulfillment than receiving. He shares lessons from residency, mentorship, and years in practice, exploring how a mindset of contribution shapes both personal growth and the future of the profession. Dr. Stucki also offers a candid look at the time, cost, and intention behind producing the podcast, and the quiet rewards that come from helping others learn and advance. He also connects these experiences to a broader truth echoed by leaders, philosophers, and spiritual traditions, namely, that joy fades quickly when it is tied to what we receive, but it deepens when it comes from service. As the year comes to a close, this episode invites reflection on a simple but powerful question: who can you help next, and how might that generosity renew your own sense of purpose?Key Points From This Episode:Reflections on persistence, imperfection, and producing this podcast despite the challenges.Lessons from residency on being a proactive learner, not a passive participant.Choosing residents who give back to the profession, not just take from it.The lasting impact of attendings who sacrificed income to teach.Stepping back to ask what oral surgery has given you and how you can help others.Why giving leads to deeper, more lasting peace and fulfillment than receiving.What producing the podcast has cost, and why it has been worth it.Why altruistic giving is more powerful when nothing is expected in return.How giving back can help counter burnout and restore joy.An invitation to help one person, or a group of people, and notice how it brings joy.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Giftology — https://www.amazon.com/Giftology-Increase-Referrals-Strengthen-Retention/dp/1619614332Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

The holidays naturally inspire generosity. As Christians, we feel a heightened awareness of need—empty tables, struggling families, and financial hardship made more visible by the contrast of celebration all around us. And that impulse to give is good.But God calls us to something deeper.True, Christ-centered generosity goes beyond a one-time act of charity. It invites us to walk alongside people in ways that restore dignity, build hope, and reflect God's heart for renewal—not just during Christmas, but throughout the year.To explore what that kind of generosity looks like in practice, we sat down with Lisa Sheltra, Director of Community Engagement at Salt & Light, a ministry committed to helping without hurting by empowering individuals rather than creating dependency.A Biblical Vision for Deeper GenerosityScripture sets the tone for how we approach generosity. “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:4). That verse reminds us that generosity is inherently relational. It's not just about meeting needs—it's about entering into someone's life with humility and care.Lisa explained that while giving material help is often necessary, biblical generosity must flow from our relationship with Christ. God's model for giving isn't transactional. It's restorative.She pointed to John 3:16 as the ultimate framework for generosity. When God gave, He didn't offer something temporary or superficial—He gave His Son to address our deepest brokenness and bring true flourishing. If our generosity reflects God's heart, it should aim not only to relieve immediate pain but to support long-term restoration, reconciliation, and community.Many churches and families feel pressure in December to focus heavily on relief efforts—food drives, toy collections, clothing donations. These are good and often necessary responses, especially in moments of crisis.But Lisa cautioned that relief, by its nature, creates a giver-receiver imbalance. When relief becomes the default instead of the exception, it can unintentionally harm both sides of the relationship. It can reduce people to passive recipients and rob them of agency, dignity, and participation.Relief is best understood as a tourniquet—it stops the bleeding in an emergency. But most ongoing struggles, including those we notice during the holidays, are not emergencies. They are development needs, requiring long-term walking together, not repeated short-term fixes.Relief vs. Development: Understanding the DifferenceSalt & Light works closely with principles championed by the Chalmers Center, which emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between relief and development.Relief addresses urgent, immediate crises.Development focuses on long-term growth, dignity, and restored relationships.During the holidays, what looks like an emergency is often a symptom of a deeper, ongoing struggle. Repeated relief may feel satisfying to the giver, but it rarely moves families toward lasting stability or community.Development, on the other hand, invites people to use their own gifts, make their own choices, and participate fully in solutions. It treats individuals not as problems to fix, but as image-bearers with capacity and value.At Salt & Light, empowerment isn't seasonal—it's woven into everyday ministry. Participants invest in the program year-round and are treated not as charity cases, but as customers and guests with agency.Rather than handing out preselected gifts, families can choose items for their loved ones. That choice matters deeply. Lisa shared that many participants have said, “This is the first Christmas in years I've been able to buy gifts for my family myself.”That shift—from receiving charity to exercising choice—restores dignity in powerful ways.A Better Path for ChurchesFor churches wanting to steward holiday generosity wisely, Lisa offered several practical insights:Partner with ministries already practicing development. You don't need to reinvent the wheel.Encourage relational volunteering, not just donation drives.Support year-round ministries, not just seasonal projects.Use the holidays as an on-ramp, connecting people's enthusiasm for giving to sustainable, ongoing involvement.The goal isn't to do more—it's to do good in ways that last.What This Looks Like for IndividualsMany believers want to help but fear causing harm. The answer isn't to stop giving—it's to give differently.Lisa encouraged individuals to approach generosity with humility and a willingness to learn. We don't need perfect solutions. We need presence, patience, listening ears, and respect for dignity.She reminded us that kingdom impact isn't measured by numbers alone. While it may feel impressive to count meals served or gifts distributed, God's metrics are relational. Sometimes faithfulness looks like doing for one what we wish we could do for everyone.When asked to leave listeners with one guiding principle beyond the Christmas season, Lisa said it simply and beautifully:“See others as image-bearers of God—people with gifts, agency, and dignity. Come alongside them, not as fixers, but as fellow participants in God's work of renewal.”When we give in ways that honor dignity and foster genuine connection, we don't just meet needs—we participate in God's redemptive work.To learn more about Salt & Light and their dignity-centered approach to helping others, visit SaltandLightMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I owned my land before I got married, and my husband isn't on the deed. But after we got married, the tax office automatically added his name to the property tax statement.

In episode 320 of the Glass and Out Podcast we're joined by Pete DeBoer, who will be part of Team Canada's coaching staff at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan. With over 1,400 games behind an NHL bench, DeBoer has enjoyed a remarkable coaching journey. And while he hasn't captured the Stanley Cup YET, the level of consistency that his teams have competed at is compelling. That includes nearly 700 wins, two trips to the Stanley Cup finals, and a Memorial Cup Championship with the Kitchener Rangers. Internationally he's represented Canada at the World Juniors, World Championships, World Cup of Hockey, and the 4 Nations Face-Off. DeBoer has presented twice at TCS Live, including his 2023 presentation on Teaching Offensive Zone Principles. He also sat down with the Athletic's Craig Custance back in 2019 to break down one of the craziest Game 7's ever played back between the Sharks and Golden Knights.
