Perfectionism is something that gets beat into a lot of us. Sometimes literally, as you'll find out from my guest.Imposter syndrome goes hand-in-hand with perfectionism. You see, when you're programmed to hold yourself to extremely high standards, nothing you do seems like it's good enough. You're not enough. And what if someone finds out?Now imagine you got ripped off by not one – but two – business partners, and lost all your savings more than once. On top of that, you never graduated college, yet held down job after job that required a college degree, in part because others who believed in you more than you believed in yourself went to bat for you.What a wild ride – and that's Gary Frey's story.He's been a perfectionist since he was a little boy, the older of two children. Education was important in his family. His dad almost got his Ph.D. but didn't finish his dissertation, and his mom was a nurse. As a grade-schooler, he spent a lot of time with his strict, stern German grandmother, who would feed him German food he hated and spank him if he didn't eat it. When Gary was eight, his grandmother died of a stroke. For two years, he thought he somehow killed her, until he finally asked his parents.In school, he was the smart kid who couldn't play any sport involving moving balls or athletic coordination, but he eventually found his niche in swimming. He went to college on a prestigious scholarship, finding himself in a fraternity known for academic and athletic excellence, but feeling “less than” the rich kids in his house. Then he didn't finish college – becoming the first in his family NOT to graduate college. After that, it was off to his career…As you'll discover when you hear from Gary, he got ripped off by two business partners. He repeatedly lost everything he had, got used by an employer who needed him to hook a major deal then fired him the day it closed, and had to move to different states to start over.Perfectionist Gary found himself getting recruited out of the blue by companies who heard about him and wanted his expertise for roles that required college degrees and viewed him as a success. What was he going to do, tell them he had two corrupt business partners and lost millions of dollars? He said it was fine… and Fine is a 4-Letter Word.You're about to discover how Gary emerged from the trap of perfectionism, learned to believe in himself, and the tools he used to achieve it. Gary's hype song is “Warrior” by Matthew Ward.Resources:Gary Frey's website: https://garydfrey.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garydfreyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/garydfrey Claim your copy of Gary's book, “Silence the Imposter: 7 Weapons to Silence Imposter Syndrome” at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJLLLV61 Invitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because...
Jesus is not a subject to be studied; He is a person to be experienced. He came to earth like an undercover boss, fully God yet fully man, so that we could draw near to Him. He spent thirty years preparing for ministry, modeling for us how God wants to grow us for service. The more we know Jesus, the better we can articulate Him to a badly broken world.
To help us navigate these dark times, Gaslit Nation will hold our first book club. Join us next Monday, February 24, at 4pm ET for a salon discussion on two profound works: Albert Camus' The Stranger (the Matthew Ward translation) and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. These books capture the emotional truth of our era. Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and psychologist, offers extraordinary insights into how people confronted genocide in death camps. His account of prisoners organizing cabarets and finding spiritual connections, even in the face of death, is both harrowing and inspiring. Man's Search for Meaning is essential reading for understanding how casual sadism, like Elon Musk's highly illegal mass purge of live-saving government programs, is already taking root in the U.S. This week's bonus show also features a continuation of our conversations with Elie Mystal, author of Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America, on why we need an EU travel ban of Ivanka Trump and others complicit in the destruction of democracy in America, and investigative journalist Greg Palast, director of Vigilantes, Inc., a must-see film about the GOP's war on democracy. To access the full episode, join our Patreon community at Patreon.com/Gaslit. As we face these turbulent times, Gaslit Nation remains committed to shedding light on the truth. Stay tuned for our all-new episode this Tuesday. Together, we can weather this storm and reclaim our democracy. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

While Jesus is the most famous person ever to live on this earth, there must be more clarity about who He is. Our family, friends, and world deserve to know that no one can change a life like Jesus Christ.

En el corazón del cristianismo hay una gran simplicidad. Nos presenta quiénes somos y quién es Dios en Cristo Jesús, ya que no descubrimos cómo es Dios, sin ver la realidad de nuestro pecado. Sólo le podemos "adorar en espíritu y verdad" (Juan 4:24) cuando "nacemos de nuevo" (3;7) y comprendemos la necesidad de la muerte de Cristo (3:14). En esta parada en nuestro viaje por la vida a la luz del Buen Libro, la sintonía de Ruta 66, esta vez está a cargo de un grupo de Minneapolis en los 80, The Replacements. Muchos confunden la fe cristiana con otro tipo espiritualidad. Ese es "Un tipo diferente de luz" (A Different Kind of Light), dice el poeta inglés Steve Scott en la canción que abre el álbum de presentación del grupo de Mike Roe en Sacramento, los 77´s en 1982. Fue producido por uno de los músicos de la banda de Dylan que llegó a la fe evangélica, Steven Soles. Junto con los otros dos músicos que se hicieron cristianos cuando acompañaron al Premio Nobel de Literatura en la gira de la Rolling Thunder Revue, David Mansfield y T-Bone Burnett, formaron la Banda Alpha. Escuchamos su canción de "Desconcierto" (Mystified) en 1977 sobre la confusa Nueva Era de espiritualidad que entonces comienza. El cristianismo no está libre de esa falsa religiosidad. La película de Berlanga, "Los jueves milagro" fue destrozada por la censura en 1956, pero en la primera mitad todavía se reconoce el cuadro demoledor que hace de esa milagrería que confunde la fe con el negocio. Escuchamos diálogos de esa parte con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre el fondo de la banda sonora original de la película "Camino" de Javier Fesser en 2008, sobre la enfermedad y la muerte de una niña en el entorno del Opus Dei, al que pertenecía también el productor del film de Berlanga, que acaba escribiendo un sacerdote de la censura, la segunda parte. El cantautor canadiense Bruce Cockburn llegó a la fe cristiana a principios de los 70. Aunque no ha asistido regularmente a la iglesia durante más de cuarenta años, ha vuelto ahora a adorar en una comunidad evangélica, donde expresa lo que ocurre "Cuando el Espíritu entra en la habitación" (When The Spirit Walks In The Room, 2023). Tres de los miembros de la banda irlandesa U2 llegaron también a una comunidad cristiana a finales de esa década. El tema que abría su segundo álbum en 1981, "Gloria", es una de los mayores cánticos de alabanza cristiana contemporánea que hay en la música popular. Ese mismo año 81, el ahora fallecido Norman Barratt publica un disco con el grupo que lleva su nombre, tras su conversión a la fe evangélica, después de formar la banda de "rock progresivo" Gravy Train a finales de los 60 y acompañar al músico cristiano Alwyn Wall, al convertirse a Cristo. Para Él, Dios es "El Único" (The Only One) en Cristo Jesús. Por Él da la "Gloria a Dios" también en 1986, Matthew Ward, el músico pionero de la Revolución por Jesús en el Segundo Capítulo de Hechos (2nd Chapter of Acts), cuando tantos "hippies" llegaron a la fe cristiana en California.
In this episode, Lisa and Matthew discuss:Common misconceptions regarding the cost and accessibility of private colleges. Advantages of private colleges many do not know about. How to understand and evaluate a college's mission and values. Recognizing financial aid opportunities and understanding the true costs and benefits of private colleges. Key Takeaways: Even if a school is faith-based, that does not mean every student is part of that religion. Students grow, and the best conversations are had when hard questions are asked. Look at the About Page of colleges and universities. What they say and don't say will tell you a lot about that institution's priorities, values, and mission. Your student should get their feet on campus before they enroll. While virtual resources are great, visiting should be a priority before enrolling. Very few families will pay the full price of tuition at private schools. Many of the smaller, private institutions operate like a village where there are activities throughout the day that lead to deeper relationships and community involvement that may not be available at larger universities. “Private institutions typically will be more focused on mission and have a values orientation to the work that they do that ties in the curriculum, but also the structures of the institution. It's important for students and families to explore what an institution is about.” – Dr. Matthew WardAbout Dr. Matthew Ward: Matthew Ward, Ph.D., Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success is responsible for strategic enrollment management and student success at California Lutheran University. Ward leads a division of more than 180 employees including the offices of admission, academic services, financial aid, athletics, analytics, and marketing. Involved in several national organizations related to enrollment management, marketing, and Hispanic higher education, he has authored papers and chapters and provided thought leadership on enrollment strategy, marketing higher education, building campus diversity and equity, and becoming a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Ward teaches “Policy Development and Political Influences in Education” and “Administration in Higher Education” for the Ed.D. in Higher Education Leadership program at Cal Lutheran. A former visiting scholar at Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (Center for Economic Research and Teaching) in Mexico City, he earned a master's degree and a doctorate in International Studies from the University of Miami.

Learn how love leads Dante through the depths of Hell, up mount Purgatory and into the highest Heavens! Discover why The Divine Comedy is one of the most theologically significant Catholic works of all time, and one of it's greatest love stories. Excerpt from episode: "Dear friends, how many stories do you know dare to traverse the pits of hell while also ascending to the highest heavens? In the 1200s, an exiled Italian poet wrote a very profound love story, one that is now known as The Divine Comedy. This part fiction, part autobiographical tale of a man who journeys through the many rings of hell, up the mountain of purgatory, and into the highest spheres of heaven ... is one of the most theologically and visually engaging works ever produced. In terms of its masterpiece-ness, T.S. Eliot famously wrote, "the literary world is divided between Shakespeare and Dante, there is no third." Since Dante, countless stories and movies and art and video games and romances have been inspired by his imagery – so much so dear listener, that I guarantee you've come across Dante even if you think you haven't … especially in the way you visually think of hell and heaven..."Sountrack credits The main theme used this episode is Chaveliers de Sangrael (Hans Zimmer), with covers by Matthew Ward and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Jeff Amerine, Caleb Talley, and Matthew Ward are joined by Mark Zweig, founder and chairman of Zweig Group. Mark's entrepreneurial journey began in his parent's front yard when he was only twelve. He bought and sold bicycles, motorcycles, and cars throughout his adolescence and time at university. After earning his MBA, Mark worked for a management consulting firm before leaving for a string of successful positions with other flourishing businesses. Mark returned to his entrepreneurial nature in 1988 by founding Zweig Group, which grew rapidly for over a decade. Since his return to entrepreneurship, Mark has founded Inc 500 and Inc 5000 startups, written a book, served on multiple boards, and is now teaching entrepreneurship at the University of Arkansas.

(47:30) Advice to the Younger Self Links Jeff Amerine Caleb Talley Matthew Ward Mark Zweig Zweig Group Quotes “We grew by 30% a year, thirteen years in a row. And we were always profitable. We never had any outside equity. We did sell stock to key employees, and we would finance 100% of that. And that was really a strength. We just did a lot of stuff that we advocated our clients do.” - Mark Zweig, (19:00) “Our business planning process was one where every year, each line unit manager had to come up with three new things to sell and three new ways to sell what they had. And that just sort of baked in the innovation.” - Mark Zweig, (19:58) “To me, entrepreneurship is about building value. It's not just what you can suck out of it along the way. And so, that, to me, is a core tenant of it. And if that's your goal, you do everything differently.” - Mark Zweig, (48:55)

A collegiate golfer, Palmer shares his insights on how he learned sales through the golf course by building relationships and gaining trust.

I grew up playing golf, and typically at the golf courses, you're talking to business owners. You're talking to individuals who own real estate. You're talking to individuals who are having to make those decisions.” - Palmer Hays, (8:06) “There's nothing better than just getting here [to Northwest Arkansas]. So I'll tell people all the time, if you have the opportunity and if the property is worth it, just come to Northwest Arkansas and take a peek at it.” - Palmer Hays, (16:16) “Real estate as a whole, if you take a ten thousand foot view at it, it's based on people. Where are people? Where are they located? Where are they coming from? What do they need around them?...So whenever you have more and more people moving in here, there's going to be a need for X, Y, and Z…People drive real estate, so whenever you have more people, you're going to have more need. And that translates to housing. That translates to industrial product. That translates to offices. That translates to more businesses coming here.” - Palmer Hays, (24:11)
Summary: Welcome to another great episode of Startup Junkies! On this episode, hosts Caleb Talley, Victoria Dickerson, and Matthew Ward sit down with Chris Thompson, creator and CEO of SoberSidekick, a free app that helps users maintain their sobriety by connecting with a community of people who can empathize and relate with where they're at. Chris opens up about his personal sobriety journey and the road to creating a platform aimed at solving the issue of isolation and loneliness for those struggling with addiction. Throughout the show, Chris talks about scaling empathy, designing an algorithm that provides users with a judgment-free space, and the current realities for recovering addicts in the healthcare system and how Sober Sidekick aims to solve some of those issues. Listen and be inspired by Chris's story and mission!

So I formed this idea of an empathy algorithm.” - Christ Thompson, (8:39) “Most people don't commit suicide during therapy sessions…it's when they think they're alone. And that's what we're there for. An analogy I make is like AA therapists, mental health professionals, you could compare them to the heart surgeon and we're here to be the pacemaker.” - Chris Thompson, (20:41) “Understanding how we need to go to the market is the first step to being able to produce an effective pitch. It's about understanding how our own data correlates to outcomes and how that can be positioned.” - Chris Thompson, (35:00) “The differentiator between founders is not IQ, it's not talent, it's just resilience. You know there's mental and emotional resilience, but then there's also the idea of building something to be resilient and that's why we bootstrapped as long as we possibly could.” - Chris Thompson, (40:17)

Innovation is a big part of what you all do, and if you want to be innovative, you simply have to have all the perspectives on the table. And if people don't feel safe to go against the grain, your innovation is cut.” - Dr. Adam Stoverink, (7:31) “We don't really have one another's back. We do what we have to do to accomplish our goals, but we don't go beyond that. I think that is what really separates the outstanding teams from the mediocre teams.” - Dr. Adam Stoverink, (12:50) “You have to have a moderately high, above average confidence, but it can't be too high. Otherwise, you're going to run into the situation where hubris takes over and you're not on the lookout for possible adversities because you think you're untouchable.” - Dr. Adam Stoverink, (23:12) “Part of building a resilient team is being very clear about what components are needed to be successful. Part of that is personality. You want a mix of personalities, but most important is diversity of thought that often comes from diversity of backgrounds, which correlates with diversity of demographics.” - Dr. Adam Stoverink, (31:25)
