Podcasts about life is better

Today's episode is a continuation of last week's fascinating conversation. Sometimes the most interesting people have taken the most unexpected journeys. Today's guest has worn a lot of hats over the years. He's been a leader, an author, a consultant, involved in ministry-focused organizations, a rancher… and now he's adding one more title to the list—ice cream shop owner. That's right. David Hodge is the owner of Crooked D Creamery, one of downtown Eatonton's newest and most unique businesses. And while the handcrafted ice cream may be what brings people through the front door, it's David's story that makes this episode so compelling. We'll talk about where his love of ice cream began, the story behind the unusual name Crooked D Creamery, and why, after a lifetime of leadership, writing, and helping organizations grow, he decided now was the right time to open an old-fashioned ice cream shop. Along the way, we'll explore lessons about entrepreneurship, purpose, community, and the importance of creating places where people can slow down, gather together, and simply enjoy life. Because sometimes the sweetest stories aren't just found in the ice cream… they're found in the people serving it. So grab your favorite flavor—real or imaginary—and join me for a conversation with David Hodge that just might leave you smiling… and maybe craving a double scoop before it's over.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  So Muddies, they can live without you. We're not that important. We think we are. I get it. Like, you wouldn't have anything without me. They would have a lot without you. It would be a little less awesome. Their lives would be a little less awesome if you weren't in it. But they don't need us. They can get by just fine. The island wouldn't be as fun. Don't get me wrong. It wouldn't be as fun, but they can get by without us. Okay. Clean, our lives would be terrible without these guys. We need these folks. They were not put on this earth simply to irritate us. That's not the mission. All right. We wouldn't have this event. We wouldn't have, if you look around and you look at all the things you have in your life, the average entrepreneur went through 150 rejections before they took that dumb idea and turned it into this palace. You see what I mean? Like when you heard it, you're like, Oh my God, that's a crazy idea. I don't know where we're going with this. But then it turns into this, right? So we need our muddies to be as effective as possible. Keep coming up with all these crazy ideas that are high risk. We're not sure about the reward. They never read your pro forma anyway, but it was nice of you to put it together. It was very nice. All that due diligence, but they didn't really read it. They went forward anyway because they had an intuition. That was really important, right? And they're really, really good at that. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

In this episode, we are diving deep into Seasons 1 through 3, dissecting why this raw, unfiltered "new money" magic worked so well, and exposing the masterclass in projection that is Shereé Whitfield. We break down Shereé's historic, three-time run as a peach holder and examine how her "fashion show with no fashions," imaginary acting career, and constant shade toward actual business moguls (looking at you, Tags boutique) exposed a deep-rooted spirit of envy. Why did she turn up her nose at tangible, wealth-building infrastructure while building an empire based entirely on unreturned contractor phone calls? We've got the receipts. Plus, we look at the performative perfection of DeShawn Snow's brief tenure and set the stage for our upcoming deep dives into the rest of the foundational cast.

I am still honoring the memory of Ethel, a tiny Chihuahua with the fierce spirit of an 80-pound Doberman who ruled the house, barked at motion detectors, and hid behind her human when things got too real.

The cast split into warring factions, creating an environment so toxic that Bravo executives famously executed a "mass firing" at the end of the run. Key Storylines & Episode Hooks The Post-Bethenny Power Vacuum: With Bethenny Frankel gone, Jill Zarin tries to regain her status as the "Queen Bee" via a highly calculated, failed apology tour. The Arrival of Cindy Barshop: The one-season wonder introduces the world to "Vajazzling" while immediately clashing with Ramona and Sonja over arbitrary Upper East Side "pecking orders." The Morocco Disaster (Episodes 8–10): The defining trip of the season. Luann acts like a colonial matriarch, Ramona complains about the country being "dirty," and Alex McCord breaks out in literal stress hives while attempting to crash a dinner party. The Real Vibe: Pre-MAGA Populist Elitism Long before the modern political landscape had a name, Season 4 was its perfect blueprint. Kelly Bensimon weaponized language to live in a post-truth reality, coining the phrase "systematic bullying" to escape accountability. Ramona Singer proudly practiced the "rules don't apply to me" philosophy—physically shoving women to grab the best bedrooms and dismissing anything outside her zip code as "the boonies."   Season 5: The Great Reboot (2012) The Setup Out with the old, in with the new. Bravo cleans house—firing Jill, Kelly, Alex, and Cindy—and introduces three brand-new housewives to shake up the mainstays (Ramona, Sonja, and Luann). Key Storylines & Episode Hooks The Enter of the Alpha (Heather Thomson): Sharp shapewear CEO Heather enters yelling "Holla!" and immediately sets boundaries with Ramona, completely refusing to bow to her bullying. The Radical Fragility of Aviva Drescher: Aviva introduces a highly glossy Upper East Side aesthetic, but her deep-seated phobias quickly take center stage. The St. Barth's Trip (Episodes 11–14): The peak reality TV crossover. Luann gets caught sneaking a French pirate into her bedroom and frantically speaks French on the phone to hide it, while Aviva arrives late and calls Ramona and Sonja "white trash" for not throwing her a party just for getting off an airplane. The Real Vibe: Weaponized Victimhood Season 5 perfected the art of using personal trauma as offensive artillery. Aviva Drescher used her prosthetic leg and medical anxieties as a bulletproof shield—positioning herself as the ultimate aggrieved underdog while simultaneously insulting her peers, demonstrating how loud privilege can completely rewrite group accountability.

Acts 2:42 reminds believers that Christian community is essential for spiritual growth, encouragement, and living out our faith together. In this devotional, Laura Bailey explores the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation in modern culture and contrasts it with the deep fellowship found in the early church. Rooted in Acts 2:42-47, this message highlights how relationships, service, prayer, and shared faith were central to the lives of early believers. This devotional encourages Christians to rediscover the beauty of biblical community through active involvement in the local church. Rather than approaching church casually or consumeristically, believers are called to devote themselves to fellowship, worship, and serving together with a shared mission centered on Christ. True joy and spiritual strength are often found when we move beyond isolation and begin doing life together with other believers. Highlights Loneliness and isolation continue to rise as community declines. The early church modeled deep fellowship, prayer, and shared purpose. Christian community provides relationships, service opportunities, and belonging. Church attendance in Acts was marked by devotion, not convenience. Believers are called to focus on Christ rather than personal preferences. Spiritual growth happens when Christians live life together outside Sunday services. Genuine community strengthens both physical and spiritual well-being. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Life Is Better Together By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42 NIVIn 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General’s report (Vivek Murthy) found that more than half of U.S. adults feel lonely. He then goes on to say that our nation has a loneliness and isolation epidemic. While loneliness results from a lack of social connection, social isolation is characterized by a lack of time spent with others. A study published in the Harvard Gazette found that loneliness and isolation are typically related. What were the reasons given for the increase in these two areas? The decrease in marriage and church attendance. Or as we know it, as the lack of community. In an interview with Oprah, Vivek Murthy, responding to questions on how to address the epidemic of loneliness and isolation, believes that three factors contribute to these feelings: relationships, service, and community. “When we focus on connecting to something bigger than ourselves, that’s actually when we find joy,” he told Oprah. “It’s why service is one of the most powerful antidotes to loneliness,” Murthy shares.While Murthy is speaking in general terms, consider these three factors in the context of Acts 2:42-47. Where are there built-in relationships, services, and a sense of community? The local church. It is actually more detrimental to our physical, mental, and spiritual health to live life alone than to be among other people. Let’s look at the context of our key passage, Acts 2:42-47, to better understand the importance of being part of a Christian community. Examine the words used in the above verses; they were devoted, not just attending church when it was convenient or when they were on good terms with the congregation. Their church attendance was a non-negotiable. And lest you think the ancient church was without its problems, the majority of these people were having to learn to get along with people they’d hated for centuries. The majority of the New Testament addresses this group of people, urging them to reconcile, lay aside past hurts and current differences, and move forward in unity, because they are united in Christ. Everyone was filled with awe; they were excited to hear God’s Word and be in the presence of the brothers and sisters in Christ. When was the last time you were genuinely excited about going to church? Did you fully grasp the privilege of openly hearing God’s Word? In the West, especially for those who’ve grown up in the pews, we have lost our spiritual fervor; we are most certainly lacking in zeal. We're coming before God on Sunday mornings (and all the times in between), not out of gratitude, but out of obligation. We’ve become so focused on what the church is not —the numerous ways our preferences go unmet, feelings hurt, pride wounded. We’ve become fixated on the people rather than the Person of Christ we are called to worship. We’ve lost perspective. The believers in Acts were hyper-focused on their purpose as a church. I am confident that there were conflicts as they sought to know God and make God known, but they didn’t allow disagreements to distract, divide, and deter them from their work. They didn’t walk away from the mission of the church because someone inflicted emotional or spiritual pain. They were so outward-focused that they didn’t have time to linger on their inward feelings. They grasped that the church wasn’t about them individually, but rather what they could contribute corporately.Another thing we see in this text is that the early believers weren’t just “church friends.” They didn’t regulate the meeting of the saints to a particular day, time, or location- yet, they were in constant community. In our modern day, we refer to this as 'doing life together'–they found their tribe! And what do we see? The gift of community further blesses Christians who move their relationships outside the walls of the church. They hung out in public, invited each other to their most intimate places — homes — and ate together, fulfilling both their physical needs and their spiritual souls. Their hearts are glad because they are united by a mutual love for the Lord and desire to do His work. Intersecting Life & Faith:Are you involved in a local church community? If you are, great!

If you are in town this weekend, I hope you will come and worship with us in person. If not, I hope you will join us online as we continue the thought, “We are Better Together.” While Jesus Christ was on the earth in a physical body He was committed to that truth. As He began His earthly ministry, one of the first things He did was to gather together His small group! Mark 3:13-15 – And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted and they came to Him. 14/ And He appointed twelve, so that they would be WITH HIM, and that He would send them out to preach, 15/ and to have authority to cast out the demons. Everything He did while fulfilling His purposes before going to the Cross, He did with and in view of His small group. Jesus was strategic. On the night before He went to the cross He prayed, John 17:4,6 – “I glorified You on the earth having accomplished the work which you have given me to do…I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they kept Your Word.” JESUS CHOSE TO “GLORIFY GOD ON EARTH,” AND “TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK HE HAD BEEN GIVEN TO DO,”THROUGH THE STRUCTURE AND STRATEGY OF A SMALL GROUP! Jesus knows that we are better together too!

Have you ever found yourself chasing after “Happy Meals” that never truly satisfy? Pastor Matt shares a powerful insight about our endless pursuit of contentment through external things, drawing from his childhood memories of McDonald’s prizes to illuminate a deeper spiritual truth. Through Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we discover that true contentment isn’t found in circumstances or possessions, but in learning to live differently. This transformative message reveals three practical keys to lasting contentment, including the power of realistic expectations and cultivated gratitude. Don’t miss this opportunity to break free from the treadmill of discontentment and discover the secret of being content in any situation—a timeless message that could change how you view satisfaction forever.

In this message, Wendy Hagen discusses the concept of surrender through the lens of biblical stories, including the first disciples and the rich young ruler. By examining their choices and the outcomes, she illustrates how true abundance and fulfillment are found in letting go of what we hold dear and trusting in Jesus. This message encourages us to reflect on our own lives and consider what we might need to release to embrace the abundant life promised in Christ.

In this message, we examine the heavy burden of grudges and the liberating power of forgiveness. Through the biblical stories of Lamech and Jesus’ teachings, we are invited to reflect on the impact of bitterness and the freedom found in letting go. This message encourages us to lay down our grievances at the foot of the cross and embrace the life-changing miracle of forgiveness.

In this message, we explore the concept of the “dash”—the time between our birth and our passing—and how it represents the entirety of our lives. We are encouraged to live more courageously and purposefully by stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing the challenges God places before us. Through biblical examples and personal reflection, we are invited to say “yes” to a life of adventure with God, making a meaningful impact in the world.

Sunday Morning, September 21, 2025Back to CHURCH Sunday - Life is Better Together ... Acts 2:42-47A message delivered by Richard Fleming

Life is better connected. Great things usually happen through teams and families, not just individuals. God didn't only save you from your sin—He saved you for His body, the church. The people in the church may be different (and sometimes even frustrating), but every one of us has a role, and every one of us is needed. The church is God's plan to use us, together, to change the world. Are you in? Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

We live in a culture that constantly pushes us to chase the next big thing—a bigger race, a higher sales goal, a fancier title. But the truth is, your life right now is likely far better than you give it credit for. And when you start appreciating the right now, you unlock the ability to build a life you truly love. I was reminded of this during some of my mission work in places where survival—not podcasts, goals, or personal branding—is the priority. It made me realize that so many of us in developed nations have an abundance that someone else would give anything for. You have the job, the home, the relationships, or the lifestyle that someone else deeply envies. But here's the danger—we often only recognize what we have after someone tries to take it from us. Like the kid in the toy box who only cares about the toy once another kid reaches for it, we reactively value our blessings instead of proactively protecting and appreciating them. Focus on Wins, Not Just Losses Every Sunday night, I look back at the week and ask: What were the wins? What needs tweaking? Notice I didn't say, “What were the losses?” Loss is a heavy word. Instead, I focus on what I can adjust and what I can build upon. The truth is, momentum is built on small victories—whether it's following through on a training run, sticking to your writing schedule, or simply executing the plan you set. These little wins matter, even if nobody claps for them. Stop Moving the Goalpost In my book No One Prays for the Lion, I talk a lot about goalposts. Many of us keep pushing our goals further away the moment we get close, chasing “more” just because others are. But when you set your own definition of success and stoptrying to keep up with the Joneses (who are often headed the wrong direction anyway), you can finally enjoy the life you've worked for. Protect the Moment Perhaps the most important shift is learning to protect right now. That means not letting tomorrow's to-do list or a phone call pull you away from the present. By owning the moment you're in, you not only enjoy your life more—you also protect the future you're building. Action Steps for This Week: Identify three wins from last week—no matter how small—and celebrate them. Choose one area that needs a small tweak and commit to improving it. Define your goalpost and resist the urge to move it just because someone else is chasing something “bigger.” Practice protecting your moments by being fully present in conversations, tasks, and experiences.

Can you truly quit drinking and never feel deprived?  It's a question many of us ponder, and Helen's story offers a powerful, resounding "yes." Surprisingly, Helen grew up in an alcohol-free household, yet found herself, by her mid-twenties, fully immersed in a daily drinking culture that felt completely normal. This habit quietly escalated until, at 50, she was passing out almost every night. Despite her ambition and past ability to control her drinking, she grappled with a deep sense of powerlessness. Join Annie and Helen as they discuss how she navigated this profound shift, breaking free from the struggle and discovering an unexpected, joyful infatuation with her truly alcohol-free life. It's a testament to finding genuine happiness without compromise. In this episode, Annie and Helen discuss: Growing up without alcohol, then starting a daily wine habit in her mid-twenties. Helen's attempts to stop drinking, including the Anthony Robbins' Dickens process, and why fear-based motivation didn't stick. The pivotal moment when Helen realized she could quit drinking and never feel deprived The profound realization that alcohol offers no real value. The impact of alcohol marketing and her aversion to being "taken for a fool." Applying the principles of her alcohol-free journey to other areas of life. Why Helen no longer feels powerless or tempted by alcohol The surprising benefits of quitting drinking that Helen never expected And other topics…

In this solo episode of the Dare to Dream podcast, I (Vincent) share my recent experiences in Osaka and Kyoto, reflecting on the value of letting go of expectations and embracing the reality of the situation. I discuss viewing ourselves and life as a weather system; there's nothing to change, hold on to, or worry about. Life is weather. Some days are sunny and the next are rainy. I like the beach in the sun and I like to be cozy in the rain. All seasons of life have their pros and cons. To flow with them instead of fighting them is liberation.  I also touch on the significance of facing life's challenges with an open heart, emphasizes the beauty of life's unpredictability and the growth that comes from navigating through both joyful and difficult times. We appreciate and love you all, and wish you happy holidays!!
