One client reclaimed 15% of their lapsing donors and added $200,000 by year-end. No new campaigns. No bigger team. Just a stewardship system running quietly in the background. Rachel Bearbower built it.As founder of the Nonprofit Automation Agency, Rachel has helped clients climb from 35% to 50% donor retention in a single year, recover nearly $20,000 in lapsed gifts in 90 days, and hand 20+ hours a month back to overstretched teams — all without losing the human touch.

Quick question before we dive in: when's the last time you actually checked in with your body and asked, "Do I feel safe right now?"Not "am I busy" or "am I productive" or "did I check everything off my list." Just safe. Because here's what I know for sure after years of doing this work with women: you cannot have real hormone balance without your body feeling safe first. Not once you fix your gut or once life calms down. First.So today I'm handing you seven (make that eight) small, doable shifts you can start using this afternoon that tell your nervous system "hey, we're okay", so your hormones can stop bracing and start actually working.Here's a taste of what's inside this episode:The one prayer verse I go back to every time I feel unsafe, and why saying it out loud changes something in my bodyA gratitude trick involving fingernails that sounds silly until you try itWhy morning sunlight might be doing more for your hormones than anything in your supplement cabinetThe 20-second thing I put under my tongue when my emotions start spikingWhat "explosive movement" actually means and why it's nothing like another workout on your to-do listThe declaration I say out loud with my kids that's rewiring all our brains at the same timeI know some of these are going to sound almost too simple. You'll hear "walk outside" and think, come on Leisha, I know that already. Sure, maybe you know it. Have you done it today, though?This episode isn't another thing to add to your overwhelming list. It's proof, small and tangible, given to your body over and over, that it's allowed to soften. Your body is always paying attention. It notices if you're tense or loose, if you're holding your breath or letting it go, if you're stuffing a feeling down or actually giving it thirty seconds to exist. And it responds to all of it. Your hormones respond to all of it too.If you feel like you're doing everything right and your hormones are still all over the place, this might be the piece nobody's ever pointed you to. You can eat clean, take every supplement, track your cycle down to the day, and still feel like a wreck if your body never got the message that it's safe. I've watched this play out with client after client. I've watched it play out in my own house.There's a part in this episode where I admit that holding onto my emotions instead of feeling them is basically my default setting. If you pride yourself on being "fine" all the time, on holding it together and not making a big deal out of things, you'll probably recognize yourself here. This is a nudge to stop white knuckling through hard feelings and actually let them move.I also talk about why comfort isn't always the goal. I quote an old workout instructor yelling to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and it applies here more than you'd think. Feeling safe doesn't mean feeling good every second. It means trusting yourself to survive the discomfort without falling apart. Once you feel that kind of safety, you notice its absence everywhere else.I say this more than once in the episode, and I mean it every time: you don't need all seven of these. Pick one. The salt under your tongue trick. Getting outside before you touch your phone. Saying "I am safe" out loud in your car before a hard conversation. Small shifts stack up on each other faster than you'd expect.And if you've ever felt like your hormones are some unsolvable mystery and your mood swings are just something to grit your teeth through every month, this episode hands you a completely different way to look at the whole thing.So here's my challenge for you. Pick one shift from this list, just one, and try it today before you even finish your coffee. Text a friend and tell her which one you picked. Then text her again in a week and tell her what changed. Sometimes the smallest promise, made out loud to another person, is what actually gets a shift to stick.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:PMS To Peace Private PodcastNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

You can be committed and wrong. Disciplined and wrong. Clear, focused, consistent — and still building someone else's version of your life.In this episode, I walk you through the master key underneath the seven laws in Living Life on the Next Level — one word I resisted with everything in me: yield. I tell you what yielding actually is (and isn't), what it cost me in 2016 when my wife walked away from 21 years at Georgetown University, and what happened in 2018 when the business dried up, the mortgage fell behind, and a letter showed up that I still can't explain with numbers — and I'm an accountant.In this episode:Why yielding is not passivity, not a one-time event, and the hardest thing on the entire listThe three dimensions of yielding — surrendering the outcome, listening before acting, and taking the next turn (not the whole map)Why the fire you're in right now might be evidence you did something right, not wrongIf you've ever hit a goal and still heard that quiet voice ask, "Is this it?" — this episode is the answer nobody gave you. Press play.

We're halfway through the year.Some people are ahead of where they thought they'd be.Some are behind.And some have quietly stopped looking at their goals altogether.Here's the problem...Most people wait until January to hit the reset button.Why?Why does January get all the attention?Why do we convince ourselves that we need a brand-new year before we'll finally commit to making changes?In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan challenges that way of thinking and makes the case that July may actually be the best time of the year to reset.Because unlike January, you're no longer guessing.You now have six months of data.Six months of wins.Six months of mistakes.Six months of lessons.The question is...What are you going to do with them?David dives into one of the biggest challenges facing entrepreneurs, business owners, sales professionals, and Realtors today:Why do so many people know exactly what they should be doing... yet never actually do it?From decision-making and goal setting to productivity, scheduling, consistency, and overcoming the fear of being wrong, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you stop overthinking and start executing.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, distracted, or like you're capable of more than you're currently producing, this episode is your wake-up call.It's time to stop waiting for January.It's halftime.Make the adjustment. What You'll LearnWhy July is the perfect time for a mental and business resetThe difference between knowing what to do and actually doing itWhy information isn't your problem - execution isThe six biggest reasons people fail to take actionHow to stop confusing being busy with being productiveWhy Mapping starts with the life you want - not your to-do listThe importance of scheduling around priorities instead of emotionsWhy consistency beats motivation every timeHow fear of being wrong quietly keeps people stuckPractical action steps to finish the second half of the year stronger than the firstEpisode Breakdown[00:00] July Is HalftimeWhy everyone treats January like a fresh startThe opportunity most people miss halfway through the yearWhy July gives you something January never could: perspective[08:00] The Gap Between Knowing and DoingWhy information has never been more availableWhy execution has never been harderThe difference between learning and applying[15:00] Why People Don't Get Sh*t DoneThey never truly make a decisionThey don't know where they're goingThey confuse busy with productiveThey quit too earlyThey wait until they feel like itThey're afraid of being wrong[30:00] Commercial Break[32:00] Mapping Your Life Before Your CalendarBuilding your business around the life you actually wantGiving purpose to today's workWhy goals without direction eventually lose their meaning[42:00] Practical Reset for the Second Half of the YearReviewing what workedEliminating what didn'tRebuilding your scheduleTaking action instead of waiting[52:00] Your ChallengeTreat July like JanuaryStop waiting for motivationFinish the year stronger than you startedKey TakeawayMost people don't fail because they don't know what to do.They fail because they never execute consistently enough to find out what actually works.The second half of the year isn't about making excuses for the first half.It's about making adjustments.Stop waiting.Start moving.Because momentum doesn't come from thinking.It comes from action.

What if the real midlife crisis isn't running out of time — it's living like you have more time than you actually do?In this episode, Laurie gets personal. She shares the story of her dad, who spent decades saying "someday when I retire" — only to die five months after his retirement at 66, having collected exactly five social security checks after a 46-year career. That story cracked everything open for her. And it's the reason so much of the work at the School of Midlife is built around one urgent question: what are you waiting for?This episode isn't about panic. It's about clarity. It's a compassionate but honest look at the habit most high-achieving women share — perpetually deferring the life they actually want — and a practical reframe for how to start living it now, not someday.Laurie also introduces one of her favorite coaching tools, the Best Life Top 100, and explains why it is fundamentally different from a bucket list — and why that distinction matters more than it might seem.What we coverWhy Laurie doesn't believe in the "midlife crisis" — and what she believes is actually happening insteadThe story of her dad: 46 years of work, five months of retirement, and the lesson that changed how she looks at everythingThe "someday when I retire" trap — and why there is always one more reason to waitWhy the conditions will never be perfect — and what happens to women who keep waiting for them to beThe south of France thought experiment: what happens when you finally get to retirement and the life you imagined doesn't feel like yoursThe women who thrive in midlife versus the women who keep living the same year on repeatThe BEST LIFE Top 100: what it is, what it isn't, and why it's not a bucket listThe difference between a list built around doing things before you die — and a list built around how you want to live while you are aliveWhy the Top 100 women actually end up with looks almost nothing like the list they thought they'd write — and why that's exactly the pointThe quiet dreams versus the big bold ones — and why they belong on the same listThe question that cracks everything open: of the things on your Top 100, how many actually require you to wait?Why the direction matters more than the destination right nowThe challenge: write down one thing this week — and DM Laurie to tell her what it isQuotable moments"The real crisis in midlife isn't buying a sports car or having an affair. It's believing that you have more time than you actually do.""Dad had so many plans for retirement. Someday never came.""He worked 46 years of his life and was rewarded with five months of retirement.""There is always another reason to wait. There is always another something that comes up. Which means you keep deferring your dreams.""Life always has a way of life-ing.""The Top 100 is not about doing things before you die. It's about how you want to live while you are alive.""It's dreaming with intention. It's your living blueprint. It's your permission slip to stop waiting.""The list they end up with looks almost nothing like the list they thought they'd write.""Stop treating your best life like it's something that exists somewhere in the future, waiting for you to earn it or arrive at it or be ready for it.""The women who are the most fulfilled in midlife aren't the ones who have the most things on their list completed. They're the ones who started.""The real midlife crisis isn't running out of time. It's living like you have more time than you actually do."The challenge from this episodePick one thing you would put on your BEST LIFE Top 100 list.

This episode of Starting Over, Being You maps Michael Beckwith's four levels of consciousness, to me, by me, through me and as me, onto the science of your nervous system, for anyone starting over after a redundancy, a career change, or the end of a relationship.If you have lost something you poured years into, a job, a career, a relationship, and you are facing the strange and lonely work of starting over, this episode is for you.Here is the reframe at the heart of it. You did not fail. You outgrew the way you used to succeed. The pure hustle does not fit you anymore, but you are still capable and still ambitious, and it is so easy to get stuck in the gap between the two.In this episode we walk through the four levels of consciousness, a framework from the teacher Michael Beckwith, and do something you will not hear anywhere else. We lay the exact nervous-system state underneath each level, so you can feel where you actually are and what your next chapter needs from you. The science leads, and every spiritual idea comes from a real, named tradition.You will learn why achieving more never quite makes you feel like enough, what is really happening in your body when life feels like a constant fight, and the one shift that starts moving you out of survival and into a state where life feels less forced and far more effortless.IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARNWhat "levels of consciousness" actually means, and why rising through them changes how you see life rather than adding more to your to-do listThe single biggest reason people stay stuck, and why most of us cannot see it in ourselvesThe nervous-system state hiding underneath each of the four levels, in plain languageWhy hustle and achievement keep you in survival, and why burnout is that state working exactly as designedThe quiet loop that keeps capable people swinging between feeling like a victim and forcing everything themselves, sometimes for yearsWhy success never delivers the "enough" you are chasing, and what doesThe one question to change the next time life is not matching the picture in your headWhat flow and ease really are, and why you cannot force themThe direction all of this is pointing toward, and the first practical step to get thereMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEMichael Beckwith, the four levels of consciousness (to me, by me, through me, as me)Lisa Feldman Barrett, the brain as a predictive organ managing your "body budget"The research on allostatic load, the wear that builds when the stress response never switches offJennifer Crocker, contingencies of self-worthThe research on rumination and why replaying the story prolongs the painResearch on victim signallingMihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the flow stateThe neuroscience of the default mode network quieting in long-term meditatorsRichard Lazarus and James Gross, how appraisal shapes your response and your outcomesNamed traditions referenced: Stoicism, Buddhism (tanha, craving), and the wisdom traditions that point toward oneness and unconditional loveFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat are the four levels of consciousness? A framework from the teacher Michael Beckwith describing four ways of relating to life: "to me" (life happens to me, the victim position), "by me" (I make it happen through effort and hustle), "through me" (I stop forcing and let life move with more ease), and "as me" (a sense of oneness). This episode lays the nervous-system state underneath each one.Why do I feel stuck after being laid off or starting over? Often you have outgrown pure hustle but have not yet settled into a more allowing way of working, so you are caught in the gap between the "by me" and "through me" levels. Your nervous system reads the loss as a threat and keeps you in survival, which makes forcing feel like the only option even though it no longer works.What does the nervous system have to do with feeling stuck? Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett describes the brain as constantly predicting and running your body to match, always reading whether you are safe enough to grow or under threat and need to defend. Each level of consciousness sits on a different answer to that question, and staying in threat keeps you in defence rather than creation.Why doesn't achievement ever make me feel like enough? Jennifer Crocker's research on contingent self-worth shows that when your worth depends on results, it lifts the day you succeed and drops the day you do not, so the feeling never lasts. The target keeps moving, which is why more success rarely delivers lasting fulfilment.How do I move from hustle to flow? You cannot force flow, because forcing is the hustle state itself. Flow becomes possible when your nervous system comes off threat and feels safe, so the work is building that safety and changing the question you ask yourself, rather than pushing harder.GO DEEPER: THE FREE MASTERCLASSIf you know you are ready to move from "by me" to "through me," to stop forcing and start allowing life to work through you so you can create what you are actually here to create, come to the free masterclass. I take you through the spiritual side and the science behind it: your nervous-system intelligence, emotional intelligence, intuitive intelligence, cognitive intelligence, and energetic intelligence, so you can operate from that "through me" state.https://www.amenkaur.com/masterclassCONNECTIf this resonated, please subscribe to Starting Over, Being You so you do not miss the next one. I would love to hear from you, send me a message and tell me which level you recognised yourself in.Remember: we are moving from fear to love. Keep being loving and understanding toward yourself, because that is what helps you see that you are living in a friendly universe.Sending you so much love. Until next time.

In Episode 660 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're back with Part 2 of our Geek meetup weekend — and this is where the trip really comes to life. If Part 1 was about getting everyone together… Part 2 is about what happens when this community is fully in motion. From a full-scale Epcot scavenger hunt… to late-night adventures… to unforgettable emotional moments — this episode captures what makes these Geek meetups so special. The Scavenger Hunt That Took Over Epcot Saturday was the big day. Dan put together an incredibly detailed custom scavenger hunt that had teams of Geeks running all around Epcot solving clues, completing challenges, and hunting down… ducks. Yes — ducks. Teams used a web-based app with geolocation Clues ranged from easy finds to deep Disney details Bonus points came from hidden “duck nests” And a live leaderboard kept the competition intense What made it even cooler? Dan's son Matt was running “command center” from home, verifying answers in real time and tracking scores. It wasn't just a game — it was an experience, and one that brought everyone together in a really unique way. Great Food, Drinks, and Disney Detours As always… no Geek meetup is complete without some incredible food stops along the way: 50's Prime Time Café – classic comfort food and hilarious server interactions Baseline Tap House – a perfect hangout spot for Geeks to regroup GEO-82 – charcuterie, bourbon flights, and elevated lounge vibes Three Bridges at Coronado – continuing the unofficial “burger challenge” And for some of the group… A truly unique experience at the Epilogue Speakeasy inside the Four Seasons, featuring: Hidden entrance and immersive storytelling Florida-inspired craft cocktails A full-on “experience” — not just drinks Meanwhile, others enjoyed a private Epcot fireworks cruise, proving once again that there's no “one way” to do Disney. The Moments That Matter Most And this is where the episode really hits home. Because beyond the rides, food, and planning… This trip was about people. Curtis shares a powerful moment reflecting on: The friendships built over 12+ years of the podcast Meeting listeners who have become real-life friends And even witnessing a meaningful, almost “meant-to-be” reunion between community members There were also quieter, personal moments: Holding a baby and thinking about becoming a grandfather Seeing how welcoming and supportive this community is to new members Watching complete strangers become fast friends over a shared Disney love These are the moments that don't show up on a park map… but define the trip. One Last Disney Day Before heading home, the group squeezed in one more day: Animal Kingdom adventures First-time experiences like Festival of the Lion King Snacks at Nomad Lounge and Satuli Canteen Final meals at Homecomin' and Brown Derby And just like that… Another incredible Geek weekend came to a close. Final Thoughts This episode is a perfect reminder that: Disney trips aren't just about rides… They're about connection, community, and shared experiences. What started as a podcast has grown into something much bigger: A group of people who show up for each other A place where friendships are formed And a community that continues to grow, one trip at a time Ready to Plan Your Own Disney Adventure?

In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we challenge the relentless "finish the year strong" messaging that floods social media every December. I explore why hustle culture was never designed with Black women in mind, what it means to coast into the new year with intention, and how to release the shame around unmet goals. Tune in as we discuss the invisible labor that never gets counted, why rest is a strategic decision rather than a reward, and what becomes possible when you choose to end the year whole instead of "strong." If you're exhausted from constantly performing strength you don't feel, tired of measuring your worth by your productivity, or ready to give yourself permission to rest without earning it first, this episode is your invitation to end 2025 softly, slowly, and sanely.Key Takeaways:Hustle Culture & Inherited ScriptsHustle culture assumes everyone starts from the same place of rest and privilege—but Black women carry invisible labor including emotional work, code-switching, microaggressions, family obligations, and generational expectations that never make it onto anyone's to-do listThe inherited script of constant motion was survival for our ancestors, but what was necessary for survival then might be stealing your ability to thrive nowYour humanity is more important than your productivity—you don't need to sprint through December to prove your worth when you've already proven it a thousand times overCoasting Is a StrategyCoasting means honoring your capacity—choosing sustainability over spectacle and longevity over one last push that leaves you depleted in JanuaryRest is a strategy, not a reward: you don't have to earn rest by overworking first or be on the brink of burnout to deserve a breakLike gardens that go dormant in winter to bloom in spring, you are not separate from nature and need seasons of rest tooWhat Becomes PossibleWhen you enter 2026 rested instead of running on empty, you start with actual clarity about what you want, energy to move toward goals with intention, and capacity to say no to what doesn't serve youFinishing "whole" instead of "strong" means you valued yourself enough to stop when you needed to and trusted that your worth isn't tied to constant productivityReleasing Goal ShameYou're not behind—you're entering a new cycle with more wisdom. Life happened, your capacity shifted, and you made the best decisions you could with the information and energy you hadGrowth that doesn't fit on a vision board still counts: hard conversations, boundaries set, days you survived when surviving felt impossible, moments you chose yourself, times you asked for helpMaking peace with your present reality doesn't mean giving up—it means you can want more AND accept where you are, which actually creates space for genuine movementGentle End-of-Year RitualsInstead of aggressive goal-setting, try: slow mornings with no agenda, release rituals (write down and symbolically let go of what didn't serve you), journaling your wins (even small ones), permission to sleep without alarm, or declaring a theme word instead of rigid goalsWords like "ease," "peace," "alignment," "joy," "softness," "authenticity," "pleasure," "trust" can guide decisions without the pressure of specific measurable outcomesListen Now:Ready to get inspired? Hit play to discover why you're allowed to end the year softly, how to release the pressure to constantly achieve, and what becomes possible when you choose rest over performance!Links Mentioned:Join Our Email List: Be the first to know about upcoming episodes, special...

Bioengineered meat — I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer."He also allegedly made derogatory comments about Indian coworkers and – according to the recording – claimed he sometimes came to work under the influence of marijuana: "F---ing Indians don't know a f---ing thing," the voice on the recording says. "They couldn't think for their f---ing selves."The statement follows claims made by former Campbell's security analyst Robert Garza, who filed a lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court alleging that Bally launched into an hour-long tirade during what was meant to be a discussion about Garza's salary.Campbell's: “We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use ... The comments on the recording are not only inaccurate—they are patently absurd.Campbell's also noted that Bally is not involved in food development. “Keep in mind, the alleged comments are made by an IT person, who has nothing to do with how we make our food,” the statement concluded.WHO DO YOU BLAME?The founding families:Voting power: (35%) Mary Alice D.

WHO DO YOU BLAMEAshley Buchanan: On May 1, 2025, Kohl's board terminated Buchanan “for cause” following an outside investigation overseen by its Audit Committee. The investigation found that Buchanan directed Kohl's to do business with a vendor founded by someone with whom he had a personal relationship. He also caused Kohl's to enter into a multimillion-dollar consulting agreement involving that same person. Crucially, he did not disclose this personal relationship, which was a violation of Kohl's code of ethics.Golden hello: $17m equity and $3.75m cashFormer director Christine Day: Shortly after Buchanan was fired, Day resigned, citing “lack of transparency” and governance concerns. Day said she was frustrated that not all board members were kept informed of risks and that decisions seemed centralized (“Michael ‘handles' everything … then ‘tells' everyone what the decision is”). Kohl's strongly disputed her characterization, saying her resignation was not “due to any disagreements” over operations or practices.Investors: chair Bender named interim CEO 4/30/25… AGM 5/14/2595% yes bender; 55% yes pay; 89% yes Prising; 92% average; new chair 91% John E.

This is the $99 Kumma bear made by FoloToy using OpenAI's service. OpenAI said it was suspending Folotoy for violations of usage of ChatGPT. WHO DO YOU BLAME?:Folotoy, who's founder and CEO Larry Wang calls himself “Chief Geek Officer” and has a background in child psychology and behavioral science… oh, wait, not, he has background in computer science and was founder of a tech telecomm company and was a software developer for insurance before that. But he's obviously qualified to do this: “Kumma, our adorable bear, combines advanced artificial intelligence with friendly, interactive features, making it the perfect friend for both kids and adults. From lively conversations to educational storytelling, FoloToy adapts to your personality and needs, bringing warmth, fun, and a little extra curiosity to your day.”OpenAI - obviously Sam Altman's commitment to “the benefit of humanity” stopped short of “sex advice from baby toys,” even though he says having kids of his own will help him not destroy humanity. I assume he's not getting Sammy Jr a Kumma bear? DROpenAI's board - obviously if they had fired Sam Altman, there wouldn't be sex bears using ChatGPT. But Helen Toner was forced out by the rest of the board, investors, and public pressure - she's since said, “But for years, Sam had made it really difficult for the board to actually do that job by withholding information, misrepresenting things that were happening at the company, in some cases outright lying to the board,” and that Altman gave them, “inaccurate information about the small number of formal safety processes that the company did have in place.” Perhaps Altman said, “no, that teddy bear didn't just say he loved oral sex, that's just a misinterpretation.”Microsoft - Satya, despite misgivings from Bill Gates, threw $10bn at OpenAI in January 2023. In November 2023, the board removed Sam Altman. Turns out Microsoft had released a version of ChatGPT in India that Altman sanctioned outside of safety protocols - the board should have signed off, but Altman lied to them and hid it. But rather than Microsoft pulling back the release and recognizing the damage it could do, they swooped in and “hired” Sam Altman 3 days after his firing. Their $10bn investment might have been the first cog in a sex bear wheel.I'm the Chief People Officer at Walmart. I always wake up to the same U2 song and watch the 'Today' show. That is Donna Morris listening to U2's “Beautiful Day”, the first thing she does is go online, she doesn't drink coffee but drinks Diet Coke (“I've just never been a hot drink type of girl, I guess. I try to limit myself to two Diet Cokes a day, although every once in a while, I sneak in a third.”), she likes buying cookbooks but doesn't use them. Not mentioned: Walmart's DEI rollback, the new CEO coming in, working for a family dictatorship, and any of her colleagues - as chief people officer, there are almost zero people mentioned. WHO DO WE BLAME FOR THIS EXISTING?Professional Conservative Snowflake Robby Starbuck - he claimed Walmart as his first “victory” after Trump's election in the DEI rollback. Post-Starbuck snowflake-ism, Morris might have had a job managing humans, but now her job is basically to send pink slips and make sure there aren't TOO many swastikas in the bathroom stall. A few is fine, but c'mon. So to pass the time, Morris is stuck giving interviews to Business Insider.Business Insider, who must have known Morris had the potential to give an insipid review of her day when this was her excuse for Walmart's DEI rollback: "When you talk about diversity, equity, inclusion, all in part, there can be communities, and often the largest communities, that step back and say, 'Geez, I'm not sure if I'm even actually included'," Morris explained of the decision. Which echoes… ROBBY FUCKING STARBUCK, who said to anyone who would listen: "This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America. This won't just have a massive effect for their employees who will have a neutral workplace without feeling that divisive issues are being injected but it will also extend to their many suppliers."Donna Morris, because as only we covered here when discussing the corporate move to blame the employees for every problem and getting fired, had this to say of her biggest red flag on an employee: “Nobody wants [to hire] a Debbie Downer. [Someone who is] constantly negative. You know they're going to show up [and] they're going to bring the problem, never the solution.” Literally, the JOB of HR is to field COMPLAINTS from employees about how their managers treat them - or is it too Debbie Downer to complain about racial discrimination of employees?Walmart's board - they must have signed off on Morris getting hired, right? Or a Walton? Someone somewhere thought this was a good idea? Take your pick:CFO of OpenAI Sarah Friar (who said OpenAI would need a government backstop, then clarified)Brian Niccol, the CEO of Starbucks who was given a golden hello, a golden parachute, and probably a golden shower, who just named to a “worst CEO” listThe current AND former CEO of WalmartSteuart Walton, who couldn't bother to even be named “Stuart” (he had to spell it with an extra “E”) with a claim to fame of marrying a Baywatch reboot actress, and Greg Penner, the son-in-law of a different Walton and snuck his way onto the board AND as co-owner of the Denver BroncosTom Horton, retired American Airlines CEO who was CFO of American for years right before they declared bankruptcy, but somehow is remembered for “restructuring” them instead of bankrupting them?Marissa Mayer - yes, that Mayer, formerly of YahooNot one, but TWO different consultantsRandall Stephenson, ex AT&T CEO, who, if I'm honest, seems to have actual integrity and I'm not sure why he's here, plus two DEI directors (because they're not white, so probably not qualified)

In this episode of the Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing podcast, I sit down with two of our Deal Maker Mentoring students — Ryan Kindred and Russell Cannon — who broke free from the grind and did something most people only talk about: they bought a 240-unit self-storage facility and raised $1.9 million to do it.Ryan and Russ didn't grow up in real estate. They weren't born entrepreneurs. But they took action, surrounded themselves with the right people, and now they're building a portfolio that's changing their lives forever.Whether you're a high-income earner ready to pivot, or a burned-out investor trying to scale, this episode is packed with real talk, tactical steps, and one heck of a comeback story.Key TakeawaysFrom the Corporate Grind to Full-Time InvestorsRyan was managing $200M in power systems. Russ ran $100M+ construction projects. Both felt stuck.They knew their time wasn't really theirs, and they were done trading hours for dollars.This is how they made the leap — while still working full-time — and never looked back.Crushing Limiting Beliefs That Keep Most People on the Sidelines“I don't have the money.” “I've never done this before.” “Who's gonna invest with me?” Sound familiar?Ryan & Russ had every reason to stay in their comfort zone — but they didn't.You'll hear exactly what shifted their mindset and how you can do the same.Behind the Scenes of Their $1.9M Raise on a 240-Unit DealHow they found this off-market self-storage opportunityStep-by-step of how they raised $1.9M in equity — without a big investor listThe six-figure acquisition fee they earned and how they set themselves up for long-term cash flowWhy Mentorship and Community Made All the DifferenceThe moment they realized they couldn't do it aloneHow they leveraged our team, the community, and deal support to get across the finish lineWhat actually moves the needle when you're doing your first commercial dealWhat's Next: Scaling Up & Building a Real Estate BusinessRyan and Russ aren't stopping at one deal — they're already teeing up the nextTheir 3-5 year vision: more deals, more cash flow, and total lifestyle freedomHow they're using this deal as a launchpad to financial freedomConnect with Ryan and RussellLinkedIn - Ryan KindredLinkedIn - Russell CannonSable Capital WebsiteConnect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course

Unlike traditional social media, the fediverse operates without a central authority. This creates a unique set of challenges and opportunities for how it's governed. Luckily, there are thoughtful stewards who want to see decentralized social media succeed in the most human — and humane — fashion. Two of the most prominent are Erin Kissane, a writer and researcher working on new networks, and Darius Kazemi, a senior engineer at the Applied Social Media Lab at Harvard University. Earlier in 2024, the pair researched and wrote a 40,000-word report on governance in the fediverse. Now they are deep in other projects designed to move the fediverse forward, including Erin's new studio devoted to network work and Darius' Fediverse Schema Observatory (software built to enhance the ecosystem's interoperability while being sensitive to user data). You'll hear about these projects and more in the latest episode of our Dot Social podcast.Highlights of the conversation include:The impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election on this workThoughts on the migration to BlueskyA model for how to socialize software in the fediverseWhat needs to be done next: a prioritized listThe nutritional label analogyFunding and sustainabilityBridging protocols and avoiding fragmentationMentioned in this episode:How to buy shoes in the fediverseFindings report: governance on fediverse microblogging serversApplied Social Media Lab at Harvard UniversityIFTASBlackskyFedifyBonfire Networks

These days, the word mindfulness has become a buzz phrase but very often people don't know what the word actually means, much less how to practice it. One simple definition of mindfulness is the ability to see what's happening in your mind without getting carried away by it. The benefits of doing so are vast and profound— from decreased emotional reactivity to being more awake to what's actually happening in your life.Today's guest Joseph Goldstein talks about a classic Buddhist list called the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, which lays out various techniques for developing mindfulness within your practice.Goldstein is one of the premier western proponents of Mindfulness. He co-founded the legendary Insight Meditation Society alongside Sharon Salzberg and Jack Kornfield. He also wrote a book called Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening.In this episode we talk about:The historical context for the four foundations of mindfulness Why he thinks the Buddha loved listsWhy the Buddha placed mindfulness of the body first on the listThe steps to mastering mindfulness of the bodyThe meaning of the word embodied and how that's different from our usual mode of being in the worldHow and why to do walking meditationsWhat are feeling tones and why are they importantPractices for cultivating mindfulness of mindThe mantras that Joseph uses when teaching Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/joseph-goldstein-483-rerunSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
