Voices in My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 615: James K. A. Smith In this episode of Voices in My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast), I'm joined by philosopher and author James K. A. Smith—who invited me to call him Jamie—to talk about his new book, Make Your Home in This Luminous Darkness. We explore the wisdom of the Christian mystics and what they can teach us about living faithfully in seasons when certainty fades, and mystery deepens. Jamie shares how practices like solitude, silence, and contemplation help us resist the distractions of our tech-saturated world and rediscover our identity as beloved people of God. Along the way, I reflect on how these ideas connect with my work as a hospital chaplain—learning to be a non-anxious presence who listens deeply to the “living human document” in front of me.   Get the book: https://a.co/d/00oKdg0j     Connect with Rick Lee James Website: RickLeeJames.com Email: RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.com Streaming: Search “Rick Lee James” on your favorite music platform or on Spotify https://t.co/S7nCRl0xqa Audiobook Out of the Depths: A Songwriter's Journey Through the Psalms (Audible): Audiobook Link Special Offer 10% off at Bandcamp: use code 10off at checkout RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.com Hosted by Rick Lee James — Voices in My Head Podcast

home profit Make Your Home Work Harder (Profit + Remodel Strategy) | Episode 589 Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's 39 degrees, and today we're talking about making your home work harder. This one's twofold. Part one: remodeling strategically in a broken housing market.Part two: turning your house from a pure expense into something that actually produces. The housing market sucks right now. That's just reality. But that doesn't mean you're powerless. The Housing Market Is Skewed — Use That Starter homes are struggling. Lower-tier houses are sitting. But higher-end houses? Selling like crazy. Million-dollar homes are moving because people with that kind of money don't care about rates the same way. That skews the data. People see $400k homes selling and assume everything is hot — but that doesn't help someone trying to get into their first house. If you're buying right now, one strategy is simple: buy under your ceiling. Know your range. Don't stretch yourself to death. Look at homes that need a little TLC. Cosmetic stuff. Cabinets. Paint. Fixtures. Appliances. Flooring. Those are solvable. Over time, you remodel intelligently and build equity yourself. If you're already in a house, the same concept applies. Pick one room at a time. Kitchen. Bathroom. Flooring. Do it in phases. At the end? You either: Have a fully remodeled home you love Or you sell at a higher value and move up But your strategy matters. If your goal is resale, you remodel based on trends — not your personal taste. Sage green cabinets? Trendy. I hate them. Doesn't matter. If the goal is ROI, you follow market taste. Black kitchens? Also trendy. Not my thing. If it's your forever home? Then build for you. Two totally different goals. Yard = Wasted Opportunity Most people see yard work as a chore. Leaves? Trash.Rainwater runoff? Waste.Space? Decorative. Wrong mindset. Leaves are free compost input. Not just your leaves — your neighbors' leaves too. Compost them down and: Stop buying compost Sell compost Sell compost tea Turn a waste stream into revenue You're literally converting trash into product. That's how you make a home work harder. Gardening Isn't Just Food — It's Leverage Growing your own vegetables reduces grocery bills. But microgreens? That's a business. The profit margins on microgreens are insane if you run it correctly. Small greenhouse. Controlled setup. Scalable. You need to run the numbers. But the ceiling is there. Even if you don't sell: Growing salads = not buying salads Growing vegetables = not buying vegetables Saving seeds = compounding future production If you're watering plants with rainwater you collected off your own roof, from seeds you saved from food you grew? You're basically printing your own money at that point. Water Runoff Is Money Going Down the Drain Rain barrels and cisterns are underrated. Every time it rains, your roof is producing water. Most people just let it run off. Collect it. Use it for: Gardening Lawn irrigation Emergency supply Water bills are going up. Ours doubled recently. It's still affordable, but it won't always be. Reducing dependency now is smart. Indoor Production: Mushrooms and Niche Products Growing mushrooms indoors is exploding. Lion's Mane. Reishi. Specialty varieties. The science on mushroom benefits is still unfolding, but the demand is real — and they're expensive to buy retail. If you're already spending money on them, growing them yourself cuts cost massively. Get good at it? Sell excess. There are tons of small indoor side hustles you can start from your home. Some are simple. Some are more technical. The common thread: Reduce retail markup. If you can make something yourself that normally carries huge markup — that's leverage. There's nothing wrong with profit. But there is a line between fair markup and straight-up exploitation. If you can eliminate the middle layer, your cost drops dramatically. That's power. Remodel vs Production — Pick Your Angle Your home can: Build equity through smart remodeling Reduce expenses through production Generate income through niche products Or do all three Most people treat their house as: Mortgage.Utilities.Expense. That's it. But if you treat it like a tool — like an asset that works — it changes the math. Final Thoughts The housing market might be rough. Interest rates might suck. Starter homes might be overpriced. But you still control: What you buy How you improve it What you produce from it What you stop paying retail for Make your home work harder.

Insurance is the hidden engine that keeps the economy churning, but climate change is making home insurance unaffordable for many people, says climate risk advisor Amy Barnes. She reveals why soaring premiums aren't just bad news for homeowners, but also a flashing red signal for the global financial system — and why investing in resilience now could change everything. After the talk, Modupe reflects on the need to invest in solutions that will mitigate the harm of climate change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wendy Glaister drops some serious knowledge bombs on us about staging your home, whether you're trying to sell it or just impress those holiday guests you secretly dread. First things first: we all want our homes to look like they belong in a magazine, but Wendy reminds us that it doesn't mean we need to remodel everything and blow our budgets. Instead, she emphasizes the power of a good clean and a fresh perspective—think of it like trying on someone else's glasses for a moment. We dive into the nitty-gritty of decluttering, sprucing up those dusty corners, and even the psychological impact of greenery in your space—because who doesn't want a fern to cheer the place up? So grab your broom and maybe some faux plants, because we're about to transform your home into a place that's not just livable, but downright lovable!Takeaways:Staging your home isn't about making it look like a magazine; it's about understanding what buyers want and making smart, cost-effective choices.If you're selling your home, putting on a fresh coat of paint is great, but don't forget to clean up all the clutter and make your space feel inviting and welcoming.Lighting can totally make or break a room—ditch the overhead lights for softer lamps that make your home feel cozy and lived-in, not like a hospital ward.When staging, think like an Airbnb guest: declutter, clean, and make it feel like a place someone would want to stay in, not just a house they are visiting.Companies mentioned in this episode:MarshallsTJ MaxxHGTVConrad SanchezWendy Glaister InteriorsThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

Have you ever stopped to notice the emotional environment of your home? Not the furniture, the schedule, or the décor—but the feeling that fills your space. Do you love being there? Does your husband? Do your kids feel peace and belonging—or tension and chaos? In this episode, we're unpacking what it means to build an emotionally healthy home—one that feels like a safe harbor instead of a pressure cooker. You'll learn how to identify what's “off,” what contributes to disconnection, and how to partner with God to reset the tone of your home. We'll also talk about how as women, we often set the atmosphere—through our tone, our pace, and how we handle pain. Whether your home currently feels heavy, hurried, or disconnected, this episode will remind you that change is possible.

Luke 15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'  7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.   8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'  10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.  14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.  15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.  16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!  18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.  19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.  23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.  26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,' he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.  29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.  30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!' 31 “‘My son,' the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'”   There is more than one way to get lost.

Episode 3716: Ryan Frederick emphasizes that while financial security is vital for a longer life, social capital, the strength of our relationships, may be just as important for well-being and longevity. He explores how friendship influences health, the challenges of maintaining social ties as we age, and how choosing the right community and investing in local connections can extend both the quality and length of our lives. His insights offer practical inspiration for creating environments that nurture meaningful relationships. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.here.life/blog/invest-in-social-capital Quotes to ponder: "A social entrepreneur I know sees poverty not as the lack of financial resources but as a lack of relationships."

Let's talk about something that often gets overlooked when life gets busy—how your home feels. I don't mean how clean or organized it is. I mean whether it feels like a soft place to land after a long day or just another place filled with demands and noise. This matters because your home should be more than just a roof over your head or a place to crash. It should feel like the one space in the world where you can truly exhale. A place where you, and everyone you love, can let down their guard and recharge. But if we're honest, how often does your home actually feel that way? For so many of us, it feels like another to-do list we can't keep up with or a space filled with chaos instead of calm. What if your home could be something different? What if it could be a place where you and your family feel supported, safe, and ready to face the world again? This week, I'm going to discuss when your home feels like another job and 5 small shifts to create a “safe place to fall.” You can read the full show notes HERE

Making your home stronger can protect your property and your family if a severe storm hits. What does “home hardening” mean? Home hardening makes your home stronger to withstand severe weather. This can help avoid costly insurance claims. Less costly claims can also mean lower insurance costs. What is the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety's role in home hardening? The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) is a nonprofit research center that analyzes how buildings perform in severe weather. The lab in Richburg, South Carolina can create full-sized houses and structures and put those through heaving winds, rainstorms, hailstorms, and wildfires. With 105 fans at 350 horsepower each, IBHS can create 130 mile per hour winds. That's equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane. What does IBHS look for with its created storms? IBHS can test an entire house as a system and look for weak links that can lead to cascading failures. It then develops protective strategies.  Does IBHS have a designation system for home hardening? Yes, it's called Fortified. New construction and remodeling projects can get ratings from Roof to Silver to Gold depending on the type of materials used and how they're used. For example, a house built to the Silver level will have metal braces on the roof to keep it from blowing off. Does IBHS help with wildfires? IBHS has a program called Wildfire Prepared that looks at mitigation strategies and creating defensible space. They suggest you keep a 0-to-5-foot zone around your house that is free of branches and other combustible materials. How can you show that you have a Fortified home? After the work is done, you get a certificate that is third-party verified. You can give this to your insurance agent. Some insurance companies offer discounts for home hardening. The extra cost of home hardening might save you money on home repairs and insurance. Are you prepared for a tornado? Here's how to protect your home. Are you ready for a disaster? Hurricane season: How to prepare your home and property 

In this episode of the Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars podcast, host Ken Accardi sits down with Ginny Kenyon—a veteran home care consultant who grew her agency from the ground up and has since helped launch hundreds of agencies. The conversation, titled "How to Make Your Home Care Customers Happy - Forever!", dives into Ginny's journey and reveals the secrets behind client-centered care that truly makes a difference in people's lives.About Ginny Kenyon and the PodcastGinny's career in home care spans decades, beginning with her success in building a multimillion-dollar agency and evolving into a role as a trusted consultant. With a passion for leaving behind a legacy of lessons learned, Ginny shares the importance of truly listening to clients and tailoring care plans to meet their personal goals. The podcast targets professionals dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older and disabled individuals living at home.The Power of Client-Centered CareA recurring theme throughout the interview is the significance of putting clients first. Ginny explains that while clinical protocols and best practices are essential, they only address the “engine under the hood.” What truly matters is knowing where the client wants to go—understanding their personal goals, preferences, and daily routines. As Ginny puts it, patient-centered care begins by asking: “What is your goal for care?”Real-Life Success StoriesGinny recounts several memorable experiences that highlight her approach:Frank's Journey: A patient with severe COPD wanted nothing more than the freedom to get out of his chair and enjoy rides with his wife. Instead of rigidly following clinical guidelines, Ginny focused on what mattered most to him. By introducing a therapist and creating a fun, measurable exercise routine using marbles, Frank was able to reach his goal, even if only for a short period before his health declined.Adapting to Individual Lifestyles: In another case, Ginny worked with a diabetic client who struggled with strict dietary rules. Instead of enforcing an unyielding diet, she negotiated a flexible plan—six days on track with a “cheat day”—which led to improved control over his blood sugar levels and a better quality of life.These stories underscore the importance of listening carefully and aligning care with each individual's unique desires.Other great topics covered by Ginny are 1) Tailoring Care Plans Beyond Checklists, and 2) The Importance of Educating Your StaffFinal ThoughtsGinny Kenyon's insights remind us that at the heart of every care plan is a person with unique needs and dreams. By starting with the simple yet profound question, “What is most important to you?”, home care professionals can transform the care experience. Listening deeply, tailoring services, and investing in staff education are the cornerstones of client-centered care that makes home care customers happy—forever.Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars is produced and sponsored by Ankota - If you provide services that enable older or disabled people to continue living at home , Ankota can provide you the software to successfully run your agency.

Solar has gotten popular in Texas, and it's long been popular in FL. But before dropping tens of thousands on it, you should know that there are WAY EASIER and more cost effective ways to improve your home's efficiency. So join us and Travis Jones of Smart Roof & Home Performance as we discuss various aspects of building science, energy efficiency, and solar energy, particularly in the context of Texas. They explore the importance of improving home durability, the role of air sealing and ventilation, and the challenges of solar energy adoption in the region. Travis Jones shares his expertise in roofing and home performance, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to home improvement that prioritizes energy efficiency before considering solar solutions. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of modern building practices, focusing on issues such as humidity control, ventilation, and the impact of building codes on home performance. They discuss the trade-offs of energy efficiency versus traditional building methods, the challenges faced by contractors in the roofing industry, and the importance of educating consumers about quality construction. The conversation also highlights innovative products showcased at a recent builders conference, emphasizing the need for continuous learning and adaptation in the construction field. TLDR: Building science encompasses durability, comfort, health, and efficiency. Improving energy efficiency can reduce the need for solar panels.  Air sealing is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality. Solar energy may not be cost-effective in Texas due to low energy prices. A well-ventilated home is essential for preventing mold and maintaining comfort. Homeowners can easily tackle air sealing projects themselves. The roof is the first line of defense against water damage. Controlled ventilation is necessary for modern energy-efficient homes. Identifying and addressing energy leaks can significantly improve comfort. A holistic approach to home performance leads to better outcomes. Humidity is often misunderstood as the main culprit in home issues. Controlled ventilation is crucial for managing indoor air quality. Building codes can create unintended consequences in home performance. Air tightness can improve energy efficiency but may introduce new problems. Consumer demand drives builders to adopt new practices and materials. The roofing industry lacks regulation, leading to varied quality. Educating consumers is essential for improving construction standards. Collaboration among contractors can elevate industry practices. Innovative products can address long-standing issues in construction. Continuous learning is vital for adapting to new building challenges.

  Hey Friend! Welcome to 2025 and a brand new series on the fig & farm (at home) podcast. Every Tuesday I'll be answering listener questions in my new Dear Dani series. Have a question that you want answered? Leave it here: hello@figandfarmathome.com  Today's question comes from Amanda who wants to know how to make her home look less disjointed. The 'fancy' word we use in the design world is 'cohesive' and the goal is to do just that, but it takes a bit of work. In this episode I'm sharing 5 quick tips so you can make your home look and feel cohesive when you aren't entirely sure where to start. 5 Easy ways to make your home look cohesive 1. Learn your design style (aka your aesthetic): pay attention to the all the details of the things you gravitate to time and time again. 2. Write those details down. 3. Leave your card at home and go on a field trip to your favorite home decor store. Act as-if you are making selections and see if the things you would choose match with the design elements you noticed in tip 1. If they do...you're on to your aesthetic. If they don't...go back to tip 1 and dive in a bit more. 4. Using your list, go through the items in your home and start decluttering items that don't match that aesthetic or design style, keeping the items that do. 5. Shop your home. Once the extra items are removed, now you have the foundation for shopping your home instead of shopping the store whenever inspiration to re-decorate a room strikes   Happy styling!! xo, dani   // Links mentioned in show: // Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group
