She loved the job for 20 years. She left anyway. Christine King, certified registered nurse anesthetist, returns to explain what changed in the operating room and what it cost her. This episode is based on her article "Why I left health care after almost 20 years," published on KevinMD. You will hear why decisions about whether a procedure happens started to feel like insurance decisions rather than medical ones. You will hear what workplace violence looks like in an operating room, where the threats came less from patients than from the people she worked alongside. You will hear why those incidents so rarely get reported, and why she thinks the newest generation of physicians is already different. You will hear what the stress did physically, and what eased when she stopped. And you will hear what she would tell a student choosing between nursing and medical school. Press play for the one thing she wishes she had done more of, and why she thinks the people behind her already will. This episode is brought to you by ModMed.

What happens when a family recipe is so good that people refuse to stop asking for it? For Katie Becker, it turned into a business. In this special Restaurant Hoppen segment from Hurrdat and Yelp's Omaha food event at the Kiewit Luminarium, Dan Hoppen sits down with the owner of Tasty Good Toffee to hear how her grandmother's holiday recipe grew from a family tradition into a full-time candy company. Katie inherited the recipe from her grandmother Louise 24 years ago. She originally made the toffee for the holidays, shared leftovers with coworkers and gave it to friends. Then people started asking for the recipe. Then they started asking to buy it. Eventually, that seasonal tradition became a hobby business, which became a full-time operation producing toffee in Crete, Nebraska and supplying more than 50 business partners around the country. Today, Tasty Good Toffee offers a growing lineup of flavors, from classic milk chocolate pecan and dark chocolate sea salt to churro, s'mores, peanut butter, ghost pepper and seasonal creations. Katie says her mind is constantly spinning with new toffee ideas. The story gets even more special when Katie talks about her children, who have grown up around the business and now help with deliveries, packaging, marketing and selling at events. This isn't just a candy company. It's a family legacy.

In this episode, live at ISTE, Jethro D. Jones talks with Kip Glazer, principal at Mountain View High School, about her book "Ready to Lead with AI: A Practical Guide for School Leaders." They dive into the emotional weight of school leadership — managing competing stakeholder demands, setting boundaries, and navigating disagreement while staying grounded in research and shared purpose. Kip explains why she actively shares positive stories from her school on social media to counter media narratives that skew toward the sensational, and discusses the post-pandemic emotional toll on educators and parents alike. She closes with a reminder that leadership is about listening, building empathy, and trusting that small, consistent connection has real impact.

Jesus says we will be known by our love, and our love is to make Him known. But let me ask you a question: Who is the hardest person for you to love? Oh, I know exactly who it is. It’s someone you live with. Someone you work with. Someone in every one of your circles. It’s YOU. You are the person you are hardest on. You know every flaw, every failure, every awkward quirk, every stupid thing you’ve ever said, and every way you think you should be doing better. And because you spend a whole lot of time with you, you’ve become really good at criticizing you. I’m a fan of long-distance relationships. Our time together is short and sweet. It is savored and precious, then you go home. I don’t have to deal with your quirky self on the daily, and let me tell you, girl, you are quirky! You’ve got some weird things you do. Some of y’all label stuff, then alphabetize it. Some of y’all can’t sit and keep your hands still. Some of y’all eat really loud. And some of y’all come up with the craziest cockamamie ideas that no one understands. Oh wait. That’s me. It’s cute for a short amount of time, but then it’s best if we have some space. And that’s the problem. Wherever you go, THERE YOU ARE! You can’t get space from you. You intimately know your struggles. You have to put up with your own darn quirkiness twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You had a front-row seat to every one of your failures. You don’t even like the sound of your own voice. And let’s not talk about looking in the mirror or seeing yourself in photos. Oh mercy. It’s a real issue. Do you have a hard time loving you? Let’s make this real clear: this is a problem. You will be known by your love, and your love is to make Him known, but you refuse to fully love the one person you can simply never get away from: YOU. I promise you this: you hating you is not an honorable representation of your Creator. You may cover it up as humility, but at its core, it’s hateful. You’re hateful toward you. And you being hateful toward you doesn’t make a single soul say, “Wow, I just gotta know what that girl is doing! I gotta know about the One who helps her hate herself so well. I just gotta know where she gets this deep critical spirit for herself, because I really want some of that too.” Nobody ever says that. In fact, what if your self-hatred is actually telling the world something about your God that isn’t true? Imagine something you own now that you really love. Maybe you love your Roomba. Maybe it’s your Sleep Number bed. How about your Lululemon workout pants? Or your Stanley cup, your Dyson hair dryer, your UGG winter boots, your jacked-up Jeep, your fancy Tesla, or your Dawn Dishwashing Spray (because that stuff is pure magic and gets a three-month-old stain out of your favorite shirt.) You have something you love. Now imagine that product you love started telling you all about how much it disliked itself. What if your UGG boots constantly told you how truly ugly they were? Because let’s face it, those boots are ugly. You know that’s why they’re called UGG, right? Ugg-ly! If every step you took in your UGG boots came with a little voice saying, “I’m so ugly. I hate how I look. I don’t deserve to be worn,” you would eventually start believing there was something wrong with them. ****And there’s certainly something wrong with whoever made those boots, because boots aren’t supposed to talk about how ugly they are. What if your Roomba roamed around on your floors, vacuuming up all that dog hair like she always does, but she started incessantly talking about her clumsiness and her tendency to bump into things? “Oh my gosh, I can never just get from the kitchen to the bedroom without running into everything. I always get stuck under the couch. Gosh, why do I do that? I hate that about my Roomba self. I’m always just wandering around lost, and then I start running low and run out of energy. I just can’t do it all.” If your Roomba started talking like this, you would think the insanely rich creator of the Roomba wasn’t so great after all. Dude, what you made hates itself! Here’s your ah-ha moment: Could that be your representation of God? “Oh, God is sooooo good. He is sooooo faithful. I loveeeeeee God, but I just can’t love me. I’m just messed up. I’m flawed. I’m never good enough. I’m unworthy. But everybody, you should really love the One who personally designed me. He’s great!” Do you see what you’re doing when you are unloving toward yourself? Do you see how it’s totally NOT humble, totally not honoring, and totally not God’s will for you? You see it, don’t you? So when are you going to get serious enough to do something about it? The Bible says in Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Girl, you are God’s workmanship, his masterpiece. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. You are not some random collection of flaws that happened to land on this planet. You were made by a Maker. And the Maker gets to decide the value of what He made. Psalm 139:14 says: “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.” What if you started seeing yourself through the eyes of the One who made you? Not through the eyes of comparison. Not through the eyes of your worst day. Not through the eyes of the person who rejected you. Not through the eyes of the mirror. Not through the eyes of the scale. Through the eyes of your Maker. Because you know what? The person you have spent the most time criticizing is the person God has spent your entire life loving. You have been rehearsing your failures. God has been lavishing you with grace. You have been pointing out what’s wrong with you. God has been calling you His masterpiece. You have been disqualifying yourself. God has been inviting you closer. Romans 8:1 says, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” That little voice in your head that never stops reminding you that you’re not enough? That isn’t the voice of your Savior. Jesus convicts, but He doesn’t condemn. There is a difference between God lovingly showing you something He wants to change – and you continually beating yourself up for being human. One leads you toward Jesus. The other makes you hide from Him. Do you want to know why loving others exhausts you so much sometimes? Because you show up already worn out from the battle you’re fighting with yourself. Before you ever greet your family in the morning, you’ve already beat yourself up for how your body is aging, how your energy is never enough, and how you’ve secretly failed yourself. Maybe you put on a good show so no one else sees it, but you hear it. That little voice in your head just never stops. It’s why we struggle with relationships. We’re looking for someone to fill that empty hole within us, but no matter how much they pour into us, it’s never enough because, girl, you keep poking at the hole. God wants to heal that hole in you. He wants to help you calm the voices. He wants you to receive His love so deeply that you no longer need everybody else to convince you that you are worthy of being loved. He wants you to love yourself in a way that reflects the love He already has for you, so you can show up in this world in a way that glorifies your Creator. Jude 1:20–21 MSG: “Stay right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!” Stay right at the center of God’s love. That’s what we are supposed to do. And we do precisely the opposite of this. Us beloved girls of the Almighty, we tear ourselves down in comparison and shortcomings. We disqualify ourselves from the love of God. All while we are supposed to be building ourselves up in faith and keeping ourselves in the love of God. Instead, we shut down. We shrink and hide. We build walls. And we live on the outskirts of God’s love instead of staying right smack dab in the middle of it. God’s love for you hasn’t changed. But when you continually tear yourself down, you are living outside the reality of the love He is inviting you to receive. THIS IS A PROBLEM. A serious problem. And God wants to change that. What if you started practicing the mindset of being profusely loved by God? Think about that. The mindset of being profusely loved by God. If you knew how much your Creator loved you, you would find it easier to love you too. And if you loved you as you were created, you would represent your Creator in a magnificent way. But instead, sometimes you’re the Roomba, wandering around cleaning floors and blasting to the world about your low battery, your tendency to get stuck, and the corners you constantly miss. It’s hard for me to praise your Maker when you’re continually telling me what He made in you isn’t enough. Whew. Let that one sink in. Beloved, build yourself up and keep yourself in the love of God! Today, practice this mindset of being profusely loved by God. Invite your soul to plunge into His love like a dolphin romping in the sea. Go ahead and get that visual. The dolphin clearly doesn’t hate itself. It swims and jumps and celebrates everything it was created to do. And every single one of us absolutely LOVES watching a dolphin. We all literally delight in seeing a dolphin just being a dolphin and doing its dolphin things. A dolphin doesn’t make a lot of money. A dolphin doesn’t speak eloquently. A dolphin doesn’t run marathons. A dolphin doesn’t have a degree. A dolphin does dolphin-ing, and we love it for it! And I’m telling you, we need to see you living like that! We need to see you plunging into God’s love, building yourself up. We need to see you jumping up, unafraid to be seen, loving how your Creator created you. I need to see Catherine Catherine-ing. Rhonda, you honor your Creator when you are Rhonda-ing. Lynette, please bring your Lynette-ing today. Julie, get your Julie-ing on today. Kristin, girl, only you can Kristin like you Kristin. Jessica, your Jessica-ing and Stephanie, your Stephanie-ing shows me your Creator! You don’t glorify God by becoming somebody else. You glorify God by becoming fully who He created you to be. Actively engage in His unending, extravagant, no-strings-attached affection for you. That’s not bragging, boasting, or showing off. That’s saying, “Hey, I’m an UGG boot, and I’m showing up exactly as I was created to. I was designed to look like this, and the One who made me really likes me!” That’s saying, “I’m a Tesla Model 3, and I’m not going to beat a Porsche 911 GT2 RS in a race, but I’m going to get you where you’re going in my own way!” That’s saying, “I’m a Stanley cup. I can’t make my own water, but girl, I can keep your water cold and I can also keep that coffee hot! I’m magical in my own way!” I’m not like you, and you’re not like me. But we can each glorify our Maker when we adopt the mindset of being profusely loved by our Maker. We can glorify our Creator when, like a dolphin romping in the sea, we plunge into God’s love for us—totally enough, wholly chosen, and confidently placed in a time such as this. I’ll stop everything I’m doing to watch that dolphin naturally doing dolphin things, loving its dolphin life. In the same way, I’ll stop everything I’m doing to see YOU naturally doing your thing, loving your life. Ohhhhh, what a beautiful representation of your Creator you are when you keep yourself in His love!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. Today is September 17th, and our readings are Ezekiel 42–44 and Revelation 22. Today we come to the final chapter of Revelation and one of the most beautiful images in all of Scripture. Ezekiel continues his vision of the restored temple. He sees the glory of God returning, filling the temple with God's presence. The prophet falls facedown before the glory of the Lord. Then Revelation 22 carries us beyond the temple into John's final vision of the new creation. John sees a river. It is the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. The tree of life grows beside it, bearing fruit, and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. The curse is gone. Night is gone. And then comes perhaps the most astonishing promise of all: "They will see his face." The story that began in Genesis with humanity hiding from the face of God ends with humanity looking upon God's face without fear. Today's devotion invites us to begin living into that reality now. As we look toward Jesus, the veils that distort our understanding of God and ourselves begin to fall away. We see God more clearly. And in seeing him, we begin to discover who we truly are. TODAY'S DEVOTION: With Unveiled Face John sees a river called life. It is crystal clear, radiant and transparent, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. And I love this image. Because there is nothing murky here. Nothing obscured. Nothing hidden. John invites us to look into those crystal waters and see something marvelous. The glory of God. And perhaps, reflected there, we begin to see something else too. Ourselves. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians that as we behold the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are being transformed into his image, from glory to glory. I think that's part of what John is showing us here. For so much of our lives, there are veils. Things that obscure our vision of God. Fear can be a veil. Shame can be a veil. Religion can become a veil. Our wounds can become a veil. Even distorted ideas about God can become veils that keep us from seeing clearly. And when our vision of God becomes distorted, our vision of ourselves becomes distorted too. We imagine God as distant, angry, disappointed, or reluctant to receive us. And then we begin to imagine ourselves as unwanted, unacceptable, or unworthy of love. But John says a day is coming when all the veils are gone. "They will see his face." Think about that. The Bible begins with humanity hiding from the face of God. And it ends with humanity looking into the face of God. No hiding. No shame. No fear. Just communion. And when we finally see him clearly, I think we will discover something we have spent our whole lives learning to believe. We belong. We bear the family resemblance. We are his. But this isn't only a promise for some distant future. Even now, the veil can begin to lift. Every time we look toward Jesus, we see the Father more clearly. Every time we sit with the Scriptures and allow Christ to open them to us, the water becomes a little clearer. Every time we receive his love instead of hiding in our shame, we begin to see ourselves differently. And slowly, sometimes almost imperceptibly, we are changed. From glory to glory. That's the beautiful mystery of transformation. We don't become like Jesus primarily by staring harder at ourselves and trying to repair everything we think is wrong. We become like him by beholding him. By seeing the face of Jesus. By discovering again and again that the face looking back at us is the face of love. So come to the river. Look into those crystal waters. Let the veils fall. See him. And as you see him, may you also begin to see yourself as you truly are. Loved. Cherished. A child of God. Bearing the family resemblance. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. May I see with unveiled face. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May we come to the river and see, and know, and reflect the glory of the Lord. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

In this episode, we speak with Paul Bloom, CEO of Gevo, who shares how low-carbon fuels, carbon capture, and technology are coming together to accelerate aviation's path to net zero.He discusses:Why Gevo stepped away from the DOE loan guarantee: The DOE loan guarantee was always one of several potential financing options for Gevo. When enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for Gevo's CO2 co-product became a requirement, the lack of oil and gas infrastructure in North Dakota made it difficult to secure a bankable offtake agreement. Gevo is now pursuing private credit and bank financing for its ATJ-30 project.Carbon as a second product line: For every ton of fuel, Gevo also produces about a ton of CO2, which is sequestered and stored more than a mile underground. This helps cut the fuel's carbon intensity by a little over 30 points, and the stored carbon also generates removal credits that Gevo sells to corporate buyers.Tracking how the fuel was made: Gevo's Verity platform uses distributed ledger technology to track inputs in the fuel production process, bringing transparency, traceability, and trust to the fuel's entire carbon story.The case for regional SAF supply: Rising jet fuel prices and the global availability of carbohydrate feedstocks strengthen the case for regional supply of SAF. Bloom views ATJ-30 as the first in a series of modular plants that could be deployed across regional markets to meet the rising fuel demand.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Dr. Patrick Gruber, former CEO of Gevo.

Chloe sits down with Sophie Molineux, World Cup winner, WBBL captain, and one of Australian cricket’s most resilient and respected leaders. From the outside, Sophie’s rise looked like a fairytale. Talent-spotted at just 10 years old in her regional hometown of Bairnsdale, she broke into the Australian setup as a teenager, winning World Cups and living out her childhood dream. But behind the silverware was a brutal, multi-year reality check—facing a debilitating knee reconstruction, a broken foot, losing her national contract, and navigating the emotional toll of stepping away for her mental health. Sophie opens up about how growing up as a country kid in East Gippsland kept her grounded amid early international fame and tells us about that moment on the stage. *** Support TFAP and help us keep growing women's sport by purchasing some merch.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and author Brent Freeman to unpack what happens when external success stops feeling like success. After building billion-dollar growth machines, Brent found himself burned out, disconnected, and asking a much bigger question: What if the life I'm building isn't actually the life I want? Brent shares how a “one-degree drift” away from yourself can quietly turn into burnout and how he began rebuilding his life around joy, presence, and intentionality. From canceling every meeting to watch a sunset to creating a daily “list of joy,” Brent explains the neuroscience, nervous system practices, and emotional alchemy tools behind his new book, The Alchemy of Joy. Whether you're navigating burnout, chasing your next achievement, or simply want to feel more present in your own life, this conversation is a reminder that joy is something you can invest in right now. Inside This Episode: When Success Stops Feeling Successful: Brent opens up about the hollow feeling that came after building massive businesses and achieving the external markers of success he once thought would create fulfillment. The One-Degree Drift: Learn how tiny, seemingly harmless choices can gradually move you away from your values, your joy, and yourself—and why noticing the drift early matters. Burnout Beyond Hustle Culture: Brent explores how burnout can hide behind ambition, impact, productivity, and achievement, and why it's not simply a matter of “working too hard.” The Return on Joy (ROJ): Discover Brent's framework for treating joy as an intentional investment with a compounding payoff in energy, fulfillment, presence, and quality of life. The One-Minute Window: Learn a simple 60-second practice for interrupting autopilot, regulating your nervous system, and coming back to the present moment. What to Do Now: Make Your List of Joy: Write down 5–10 things that genuinely make you feel alive, energized, connected, or playful. Then ask yourself: When was the last time I made time for these? Try the One-Minute Window: The next time you feel overwhelmed or triggered, stop for 60 seconds. Breathe. Notice what's happening in your body. Let yourself come back to the present before deciding what to do next. Invest in Your ROJ: Choose one small thing that brings you joy and intentionally put it on your calendar this week.

What happens when the career you love starts costing you moments you can't get back?Jacob “Jake” Stevenson spent 12 years coaching college wrestling. But when his wife called to tell him their son had won his first wrestling match, Jake was somewhere else—coaching someone else's kid. He was crying in the corner of a match, realizing his future might need to look different.In episode 342 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner sit down with Jake to unpack his move from college coaching into insurance agency ownership and a 17-property real estate portfolio.Jake shares the messy parts, too: an eight-property partnership that fell apart, an Airbnb guest situation that brought the cops and angry neighbors, and the challenge of handing off work when you're used to doing everything yourself.In this episode:• The moment Jake began questioning his future in coaching.• Buying an insurance agency without a background in the industry.• Building a portfolio of college rentals, small multifamily properties, and commercial space.• Using a virtual assistant team to handle Airbnb guest communication.• Why friendship and trust weren't enough to make a business partnership work.• Growing businesses with his wife, Jess, while raising four kids.• Defining success around the life you actually want to live.There are deals, hard lessons, and plenty of laughs—but the question underneath it all is simple: Is the business you're building giving you more of the life you want?Hear more from Jake on his podcast, On the Same Team, available on Spotify, Amazon, and other podcast platforms.Subscribe to The Kash and Dash Show, share this episode with someone weighing a career change, and tell us in the comments: What's one moment you refuse to let work make you miss?You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at https://linktr.ee/tedkaasch Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owenmoneyrealestate Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/owenmoneyrealestate/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - ...

I told him how much I rated it, and asked why he swapped podcasting for writing. His answer: fiction lets him say things about technocracy, surveillance and the biosecurity state that people would switch off from if he said them plainly, and it works. I highly recommend it, it challenges you to confront systems of control and the cost of compliance.We get into how storytelling has always shaped culture, and how it is being used now to normalise digital ID, surveillance capitalism and the slow drip of a "new normal." As I always say, convenience is not convenient to your health.We go deeper into false idols and why we hand our power to whoever promises to save us. My message stays the same: do not bow down to anyone, see the divine in yourself first. And a reminder that real resistance looks less like doom scrolling and more like putting your hands in the dirt.Loved having Aaron back.

Most ecommerce brands kill their website popup to protect margin, and they end up paying more to acquire every customer. On $10,000 in ad spend, a 15% welcome offer moves CPA from $33.33 down to $25 on day one, then down to $17.24 once the email list does its job.Josh walks through every scenario with the numbers on screen.Inside this episode:The World War II bomber study that explains why "people buy from me without a discount" is the wrong conclusion to draw about your own storeThe full $10,000 ad spend breakdown: 3% vs 4% conversion rate, $33.33 vs $25 CPA, and why a lower AOV still collected $2,600 moreWhy 15% off outperforms the 10% everybody else runs, plus the 8 to 10% opt-in benchmark and what it means if you are above itThe trail effect, and what the 600 people who opted in but did not buy on day one are actually worth over the next 90 daysThe repeat purchase rule of thumb we use (40% place a second order, then cut it in half every order after) and the $104 lifetime value it adds up toFive popup types mapped to customer lifecycle stage, starting with the reminder popup for subscribers who never used their codeThe one-time buyer popup, and the loyalty and subscription popup for anyone who has already bought twiceThree ways to capture emails without discounting, including the play a luxury brand can run without touching priceThe change to make to your welcome offer before Black Friday Cyber Monday so your offers stop stackingThe real question is not whether to run a popup. It is what the offer costs you today, what the list is worth in 90 days, and whether you have any way to follow up with the people who showed up and walked.

Welcome to the first episode of Undressed, a new short-form series where I'm giving you my unfiltered take on what I'm seeing, loving, thinking about, and taking away from the fashion world in real time.For my first debrief, we're talking New York Fashion Week — my 18th one! I'm getting into the shows I loved, the pieces already on my shopping list, why fashion feels especially exciting right now, and what this season made me realize about my own personal style. Plus, I'm sharing how I actually look at a runway show beyond the still images: the references, music, venue, show notes, and all the context that can completely change how you experience a collection.Let's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview In this episode, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what it feels like to be in the messy middle of making big, important changes in a business. My friends, I am in the middle of it! So let's talk about it: In this episode, I'm sharing the challenges (and major wins) I've been facing while upgrading my own business, from competing priorities and projects taking longer than expected to learning new things and asking for help. I also share what has helped me move through the mess. I'm reminding myself to take action, invest in the right people, return to the reason behind the work, and ask what I actually need in the moment. For me, this is also a reminder that as our businesses evolve, our roles evolve too. The goal isn't to avoid every difficult season. It's to have the systems, people, mindset, and perspective that help us navigate those seasons well. Our Key Topics Why business growth can feel messy: How evolving businesses often require us to evolve our roles, systems, and priorities too. How to move forward when things feel overwhelming: Using imperfect action, realistic expectations, and the willingness to adjust when plans take longer than expected. Why you don't have to do everything yourself: Recognizing when to hire, delegate, ask for help, or learn something step by step. What it takes to lead well through change: Taking care of yourself, challenging negative self-talk, and making sure you're grounded enough to lead your business and team. How to decide what deserves your time: Returning to the bigger purpose, prioritizing the people in front of you, and using the four Ds: do, delegate, defer, and delete. Key Takeaways For Shop Owners Our role has to evolve as the business evolves. I can't keep approaching every new stage of my business exactly as I did before. Growth often requires me to step into a different kind of leadership. Imperfect action is still action. I've found that taking action, even when it isn't perfect, helps me move forward instead of staying stuck in stress and anxiety. I don't need every piece figured out before I begin. I don't have to do everything myself. One of the ways I've been moving through this season is by hiring people who already know how to do some of the things I'm trying to learn or accomplish. Delegating has helped me move forward. I need to take care of myself in order to lead well. I'm reminding myself that wearing myself out is not a badge of honor. Sometimes what I need is a morning off, a step back, or simply some space to get grounded again. I can choose what stays on my list. The four Ds give me a practical way to look at my priorities: what do I need to do, delegate, defer, or delete? Not everything that lands on my list needs to happen right now. Want to work with me to plan out your week? I'm hosting a workshop on September 29th to help you do just that!

“We love because he first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19We begin this five-day journey with the truth that grounds everything else: you are loved by God. In this guided breath prayer, Sharie Behnke invites us to slow down, release our striving, and simply receive the love God has already given.Using the rhythm of our breath and the words “I am loved. By you, God,” we'll create space to become aware of God's presence and bring our worries, disappointments, insecurities, and unfinished places into that love. There is nothing to earn, accomplish, or prove.As the prayer unfolds, we'll move from receiving love to offering it: “I am loved. And I can love.” May this simple truth shape the way you see yourself and everyone you encounter today. God's love comes first. We receive it—and from that place, we are free to give it away.Narrator: Sharie BehnkeTake your next step at communitychristian.org.As we move toward the IGNITE Gathering, find more resources, gathering times, and ways to engage here.

Jethro D. Jones interviews Kevin Donohue, a Catholic school leader turned FACTS Education Solutions consultant, at ISTE 2026. Kevin shares his path from teacher to principal through a residency model in the LA Archdiocese, then dives deep into practical ways AI can support Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) — from scheduling and agenda-building to acting as a subject-matter "expert" or bias-checking moderator. The conversation tackles crucial student data privacy concerns (anonymizing names, avoiding PII in AI tools), and debates where the human/AI line should be drawn in grading versus feedback. Kevin and Jethro agree AI excels at binary, objective tasks (like grading) while human relationship-building remains essential for meaningful feedback and individualized learning paths.

What does it look like to keep moving toward Jesus when life takes you through unexpected trials, questions, and detours?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott and Darla sit down with husband-and-wife author duo, Aaron and Julie Bujnowski, who share how their own journey of faith inspired them to write their two books, “Navigating to Jesus,” and “Discovering Your Temple Insights.”While “Navigating to Jesus” offers a Christ-centered pattern for finding direction through uncertainty and life's challenges, “Discovering Your Temple Insights” helps readers approach Temple worship with greater preparation and purpose—learning not just about the Temple, but how to receive personal revelations from it as well.From Julie's conversion and battle with breast cancer, to the spiritual impressions that guided them through difficult decisions, Aaron and Julie reflect on how small acts of faith have continually pointed them back to the Savior. They also share practical ways to make Temple worship more meaningful, recognize God's guidance through adversity, and hold onto the covenants that bind us to Christ.Ultimately, they remind us that even when the path isn't straight, keeping our eyes on Jesus can help us find peace and direction along the way.*** Please hit SUBSCRIBE to get our latest episodes, and hit the SHARE button to help us share Aaron & Julie's story and light with others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/RTE1ybRBXq0-----To READ “Discovering Your Temple Insights,” visit: https://www.temple-insights.com/To READ “Navigating to Jesus,” visit: https://www.cedarfort.com/products/navigating-to-jesus-a-journey-of-faith?srsltid=AfmBOooEQg-9yW16fV1fwl5Dgr5AJtOQQzJHfxOQX8AhpgPNIf3bhK0STo LEARN MORE & REGISTER for Julie's women's conference, "Faithful and Loved," visit: https://www.usswawomensconference.comTo LEARN MORE about Aaron's work, visit: https://www.aaronbujnowski.com/To LEARN MORE about Julie's work, visit: https://www.juliebujnowski.com/-----To READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

The voices in her head had given her a new name. Then Jesus said her real one.This Sunday we begin a new series, The People Jesus Loved, featuring clips from Season 1 of The Chosen, and we start where the show does: Mary Magdalene. Luke says she was freed from seven demons; the gospels say she was the first to see the risen Jesus. In between is a story about which voices we listen to, and about the God who calls us by name.

There is a particular kind of dread that shows up around a first performance review, a first networking event, a first job where nobody hands you a manual. For introverted professional women who spent years being praised for grades and credentials, the workplace often demands a different currency entirely — people skills, self-advocacy, the ability to connect without performing extroversion. Nobody taught this. It was never on the syllabus.That is the gap Rob Heller has spent two decades trying to close. After a 40-year business career and selling his insurance firm for eight figures to a publicly held company, Heller founded the Boost Program — a curriculum built around what he calls the three legs of the stool: people skills, character, and a healthy mindset. In this conversation, Heller and Serena Low talk about why 85 percent of what employers say they want is soft skills nobody is systematically teaching, why phone and social media use functions like a genuine addiction for the 14-24 age group, and why introverts do not need to become extroverts to master connection — they simply need the skills nobody gave them the language for.Questions AnsweredWhy do young people leave school without the people skills employers say matter most?What are the three "legs of the stool" in Rob Heller's Boost Program?Is phone and social media use actually an addiction, and how does the Boost Program address it?Can introverts build strong people skills without becoming extroverts?Why did Rob Heller create Boost after selling his insurance company for eight figures?What role do parents play in reinforcing the skills their teens learn in a program like Boost?What is a growth mindset and why does it matter for connection and resilience?How does the attention economy affect teens' ability to build real relationships?Key TakeawaysThe gap between "employable" and "prepared" is wider than most parents realize. Heller names it directly: employers report that 85 percent of what they are hiring for is soft skills, yet schools spend nowhere close to that proportion of time teaching them. The dissonance between what a transcript proves and what a workplace actually requires is the quiet crisis sitting underneath a lot of early-career anxiety.Naming an addiction as an addiction, without shame, changes how people respond to it. Heller does not lecture teens about willpower. He walks them through how deliberately phones and algorithms are engineered to keep them hooked, and he includes himself in that struggle rather than standing above it — a move that turns a shame-based topic into a shared, workable problem.Social media's distortion is not a discipline problem — it is a highlight-reel problem. Heller's framing that social feeds show only the equivalent of a basketball player's best dunks, never the misses, gives language to something many quiet achievers already feel: the comparison trap is not a personal failing, it is a design flaw in what gets shown.Introversion is not the obstacle to connection — it is a different route to it. Heller is explicit that his students do not need to become the loudest person in the room. Curiosity about the other person, active listening, and small consistent behaviors build connection just as effectively, without requiring anyone to perform a personality that is not theirs.A growth mindset reframes struggle from evidence of inadequacy into evidence of growth. For the perfectionist, quiet achiever who assumes discomfort means something has gone wrong, Heller's reminder that discomfort is a normal, necessary part of developing any skill offers a genuinely different relationship to struggle.Chapters00:00 — Introducing Rob Heller: entrepreneur, youth development innovator, founder of the Boost Program00:56 — From an eight-figure insurance exit to noticing the skills gap at home04:32 — Why Boost went on hold for fifteen years, and what brought it back during the pandemic06:03 — The three legs of the stool: people skills, character, and a healthy mindset08:15 — Why Boost focuses on ages 14 to 24, and the neuroscience behind that window09:59 — "The Missing Course": why schools teach math and science but not the skills that determine a life11:41 — Soft skills aren't soft: why leadership, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence are actually hard15:04 — You don't have to be an extrovert: introverts, effectiveness, and connection15:36 — Naming the phone and social media addiction without shame20:01 — How Boost spreads: schools, workforce development, and building a peer community for organizations22:10 — What engagement looks like when a program actually lands with teens23:32 — Parents as the head coach, Boost as the assistant coach25:39 — Rob's message to introverted listeners: you don't have to change who you are to build these skills27:05 — Wired to connect: why relationships, not achievement, predict a good life27:35 — Growth mindset as the third pillar of a healthy mindAbout the GuestRob Heller is an entrepreneur, youth development innovator, and founder of the Boost Program, a curriculum built to teach teens and young adults the people skills, character development, and mental health tools that traditional education often leaves out. After a 40-year business career, including selling his insurance firm for eight figures to a publicly held company, Heller returned to the program he first started twenty years earlier as a parent trying to give his own children a skill set no school course offered.

What if the reason you keep having the same fight with your partner isn't that you don't love each other, it's that you're speaking completely different love languages? You may be giving love exactly the way you'd want to receive it, while your partner is waiting for something totally different. In this throwback episode, I'm breaking down the five love languages, acts of service, gift giving, physical touch, quality time, and words of affirmation, and how understanding yours (and your partner's) can help you move through resentment, feel more connected, and bring more intimacy into your relationship. We also get into how each love language can show up sexually, what to do when yours don't match, and simple ways to make your partner actually feel the love you're already trying to give. If you've ever wondered why your efforts don't seem to land, why the same relationship frustrations keep coming back, or how to create more love and better sex without overcomplicating it, this episode is for you.

Brad Pitt grew up Southern Baptist—church, Sunday school, prayer, and the Bible were all part of his upbringing. But somewhere along the way, Pitt walked away from that faith, eventually identifying as an atheist before embracing a much more ambiguous spirituality. Recently, Pitt opened up about ending his seven-year period of sobriety, while also speaking candidly about depression, mental health struggles, and some of the darkest moments of his life. However, Pitt is far from alone. Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Hugh Jackman, the Jonas Brothers, and countless other celebrities were raised in Christian homes or churches, only to later distance themselves from the faith they grew up with. So what happened? What causes someone surrounded by Christianity to eventually reject it? And when celebrities explain why they walked away, are they rejecting biblical Christianity or something entirely different? Most importantly, what can Christians do to call them back to the faith in which they were raised?

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin talks with Cassandra Worthy—founder and CEO of Change Enthusiasm Global — about the emotional side of AI-driven change, and why “just adapt” isn't exactly a strategy. As AI reshapes jobs, workflows, teams, and professional identities, Cassandra explains why people are experiencing a very real sense of loss, or what she calls “AI grief.” Cassandra breaks down her Change Enthusiasm® framework (Signal, Opportunity, Choice) and explains how emotional awareness can help us navigate uncertainty with more agency. Whether you're navigating AI at work, leading a team through transformation, or trying to make your next move with more clarity, this episode will help you start treating emotions as data. Inside This Episode: AI Grief Is Real: Discover why AI can trigger feelings of loss, mourning, fear, and identity disruption + why leaders shouldn't rush people past those emotions. Emotion Is Data, Not Weakness: Cassandra explains why difficult emotions are signals that can help us understand what's happening beneath the surface during organizational change. Build Your Signal Literacy: Learn how to recognize the physical and emotional cues that show up during change, and why getting better at reading those signals can help you move through uncertainty faster. Turn Signals Into Opportunities: Cassandra walks through the second step of Change Enthusiasm® and shows how curiosity can help you move from “What is happening to me?” to “What are my options?” Choose Your Response: Explore the final step (Choice) and how making an intentional decision can turn anxiety into anticipation and help you navigate change with greater agency. What to Do Now: Name the Signal: The next time you feel anxious, frustrated, angry, or discouraged at work, pause before trying to fix it. Ask: What is this emotion trying to tell me? Get Curious About the Opportunity: Once you've identified the signal, brainstorm your options. What could you do, learn, ask, change, or try? Make a Choice: Pick the response that feels most aligned with your values—not necessarily the one that eliminates all uncertainty. And if you're stuck, talk it through with a trusted mentor, colleague, or friend. About the Guest Cassandra Worthy is the founder and CEO of Change Enthusiasm Global, a consulting and leadership development firm helping organizations build the emotional resilience to thrive through change. A former Fortune 100 innovation leader and chemical engineer, Cassandra spent years leading global teams through major corporate transformations before turning her own experiences with change into the Change Enthusiasm® framework. She is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, and trusted advisor to CEOs, HR leaders, and culture-shapers at organizations including Google, Microsoft, Bank of America, Johnson & Johnson, and Kellogg. Through her work, she helps people move from simply going through change to growing through it.

Today's poem is For You Who Have Loved Old Dogs by Silas House. This episode was originally released on September 29, 2025.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “My Boston terrier, Phoebe, is about to turn eleven, so if she were a human, she'd be a 77 year old woman. If Phoebe were one of the Golden Girls, she'd probably be Rose: quirky, loyal, a little dim-witted. We adopted her from a Boston terrier rescue organization when she was one and a half, in the spring of 2016. When people assumed that the best thing to happen to me in 2016 was my poem “Good Bones” going viral, I have to correct them. “Good Bones” changed my life, to be sure, but the best thing to happen to me that year was Phoebe. As she grows older—silver muzzle now, too—I get emotional when I'm reminded that my years with her are limited. We only have so much time.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners.

We know ecommerce brands doing $200,000 a month on Meta ads with a negative 5% profit margin, losing $10,000 to $20,000 every single month. They got past $100K without fixing five things first, so now they're starting over at the foundations.In this episode, Josh and Dylan get into the five things you have to fix while you're still in the $30K trench, drawn from six years of coaching and more than 700 ecommerce businesses.Inside this episode:The five economics Josh treats as non-negotiables (gross profit margin, AOV, break even ROAS, ad spend percentage, net profit margin) and the ranges he calls healthy vs. excellentWhy under 50% gross profit margin almost never scales, and the one kind of business that gets away with itThe one-line math for your break even ROAS (and why a 30% margin has you chasing a 3.33 that no account holds at scale)The median AOV, CPA, and cost per click across high-spend brands inside Breezeway, and why a $23 CPA can sit right next to a 1.4 ROASThe welcome offer pop-up conversion rate to hit, what it says about your offer if you're under it, and why being over it is also a problemThe five email flows to build out of the gate, and why getting email to 20 to 30% of revenue works like a raise on your Meta performance without touching your adsThe cash management system that explains why the profit on your P&L never matches your bank balance, plus Josh's rules on which debt is worth taking and which one buries brandsWhy scaling while you're sitting at your break even number is the fastest way to run a bigger business for freeIf you're at 30K a month and the plan for the next level is just more ad spend, listen to this one first.

What if the opportunities you're waiting for aren't passing you by because you lack experience, but because the right people don't know what you're capable of?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by personal branding expert and entrepreneur Amelia Sordell to explore why women need to stop waiting to be picked and start making themselves visible.Amelia explains that your personal brand isn't simply what you post on social media. It's the impression you create through your values, behaviour, knowledge, experience and the way you show up in the world. You don't need to become an influencer or add another overwhelming task to your life—but you do need to take control of your own story.They explore why so many talented women and mothers downplay their achievements, while people with far less experience confidently put themselves forward. Amelia also shares the “big red button” moments that changed her life, from leaving a secure job with two young children to closing the multimillion-pound agency she no longer wanted to run.Her message is simple but powerful: confidence doesn't arrive before you act. Confidence is built by finding the courage to take a risk, discovering that you can handle it and then doing it again.

In this episode of Raising Boys and Girls, it features Sissy Goff and David Thomas in an in-person conversation with author and Duke professor Kate Bowler about her newest book, Joyful Anyway. Kate unpacks the difference between happiness (built from luck and circumstance) and joy (a surprising, embodied experience that can coexist with grief and hardship), drawing on her own journey through stage four cancer. She talks about letting go of the "professional happiness manager" role in parenting, how to be honest with kids about grief without burdening them, and how relinquishing control can open people up to deeper love and connection.
