In this episode of BootstrapMD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming demystifies the concept of marketing funnels and reveals how any doctor can build a simple, trust-based system to bring in patients organically. Whether you're running a cash-based practice, launching a telemedicine brand, or just starting out, Dr. Woo-Ming shares a step-by-step process that turns awareness into engagement—and engagement into conversion. He begins by redefining the "funnel" not as a piece of software, but as a relationship journey—a path that guides potential patients from discovery to booking. Using his signature mix of practical teaching and relatable analogies, Dr. Woo-Ming explains how building an organic funnel is simply about building trust before the sale. He  listed seven-step framework for creating an organic funnel: Understand the Funnel Journey, Start with One Irresistible Offer, Create a Value Magnet (Not Just a Lead Magnet), Build the Trust Loop, Add a Clear Conversion Path, Promote Organically, Measure and Refine  Through these seven steps, physicians learn how to stop chasing patients and start creating systems that attract and nurture them naturally. Dr. Woo-Ming emphasizes that effective funnels don't rely on complicated tech—they rely on empathy, clarity, and consistent follow-up. He wraps up by reminding listeners that they don't need a big budget, marketing degree, or social media fame to grow. What they truly need is a repeatable system that builds trust and invites action—one small step at a time. Whether you're a physician tired of depending on word-of-mouth referrals or a healthcare entrepreneur ready to scale your practice, this episode gives you the tools, mindset, and motivation to start attracting more patients organically today. Three Actionable Takeaways: Simplify Your Offer: Focus on One Clear Transformation:One of the biggest mistakes physicians make in marketing is trying to promote every service at once—weight loss, hormone therapy, aesthetics, telemedicine, and more. But as Dr. Woo-Ming explains, "a confused mind never buys." When your messaging is scattered, your patients don't know what to focus on—and they leave before taking action.  Build Relationships Before Revenue: Trust Comes Before Transactions: Funnels aren't just about automation—they're about authentic connection. Patients today are looking for more than quick fixes; they want to know who you are, what you believe in, and whether they can trust you with their health. Track and Tweak Consistently: Measure What Matters: In marketing—and in medicine—what gets measured gets improved. Many physicians struggle with patient acquisition because they're guessing at what's working.    About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Stop calling it strategy. Most leaders are not doing strategy; they are managing a glorified to-do list. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Simon Severino, author of Strategy Sprints, TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, and CEO of Strategy Sprints, to talk about how to lead with clarity, focus, and speed. Simon helps leaders design an operating rhythm that turns lofty visions into measurable weekly wins, all without adding more meetings or complexity. Simon has spent over two decades helping leaders enter markets, scale effectively, and remain competitive in uncertain times. His Strategy Sprints method replaces long planning cycles with focused 90-day sprints that keep teams learning, adapting, and moving fast. It is a system designed for real-life scenarios, where uncertainty is constant and leaders cannot afford to wait for perfect information. Simon reminds us that strategy is not about being right; it is about learning fast. His Focus Card is a simple but powerful tool: one page for your strategy, one tab for weekly metrics. Every Monday, teams set their priorities. Every Friday, they review what is working and what is not. It is a rhythm that keeps everyone focused and aligned, turning strategy from theory into practice. Simon also challenges leaders to build like Lego, not Duplo, modular, flexible, and fast to reconfigure. When markets shift, teams that move in small, adaptable units thrive. That mindset is not just tactical, it is cultural. It encourages curiosity, experimentation, and speed. The beauty of Simon's method is its simplicity. It does not add complexity; it removes it. The Strategy Sprint approach helps leaders focus on what matters, cut through noise, and lead teams that win through clarity and cadence. My Takeaways 1. Plans list tasks. Strategy makes bets. Great leaders take responsibility for the assumptions they make. 2. Measure both cause and effect. Track the activities and the results they create. 3. Shorten your feedback loop. A Monday and Friday rhythm beats quarterly reviews every time. 4. Build modular. Smaller, faster systems are easier to adapt when the market shifts. 5. Seek truth, not validation. Try to invalidate your assumptions weekly. If they hold up, you are truly winning. When I asked Simon what he wished leaders understood about strategy, he said: “Do not try to prove you are right. Try to prove yourself wrong. If your assumptions survive, then you are winning.” And if you want to bring more focus and agility to your team, try Simon's Focus Card exercise. You might be surprised at how much clarity one page can bring.

If you want to increase your savings, don't start with your budget—start with your lifestyle.Your lifestyle isn't about how much you spend.It's about what you prioritize.It's the visible result of invisible decisions—what you say yes to, what you say no to, and what you're building quietly behind the scenes. https://www.youtube.com/live/wZIJnteQW-g Too many people let lifestyle be the engine of their money—chasing comfort, appearances, or upgrades without ever asking: Does this reflect the values I want to pass on?Does this build up my family or just maintain an image? You don't need a bigger house or fancier car.You need a bigger vision.You need a coordinated plan that reflects your values in how you live today—and what you leave behind tomorrow. The quiet thief of financial progress: lifestyle creep. We don't see it coming. It's the subtle shift that happens every time our income rises. We eat out a little more, upgrade our phone, take an extra trip, and before we know it, our expenses grow in lockstep with our income. We think we've moved forward—but our savings tell a different story. And that's why Bruce and I recorded an entire podcast about this topic: how to increase your savings without reducing your lifestyle. Because true wealth isn't about deprivation—it's about design. Why You Can't Save Your Way to Wealth—Without a PlanWhat Is Lifestyle Creep—And Why Is It So Dangerous?Why We Overspend—And How the Mind Tricks UsThe Savings Crisis—And What It Means for YouThe Secret Weapon—Your Wealth Coordination AccountHow to Increase Your Savings Without Reducing Your LifestyleThe Compounding Effect of Intentional SavingWhy Simplicity Beats ComplexityMargin Is the Measure of StewardshipBook A Strategy CallFAQWhat is lifestyle creep?How can I increase my savings without reducing my lifestyle?What is a Wealth Coordination Account?Why is lifestyle creep harmful?What savings rate should I aim for? Why You Can't Save Your Way to Wealth—Without a Plan Most people try to willpower their way to saving more money. They cut lattes, cancel subscriptions, and create color-coded budgets that last about two weeks. But here's the truth: you can't build lasting wealth on discipline alone. You need a system—one that helps you automatically grow your savings while maintaining the lifestyle you love. In this article, Bruce and I will show you: What lifestyle creep really is and why it sabotages your wealth How Parkinson's Law explains your struggle to save The practical tool we use with clients called a Wealth Coordination Account How to rewire your habits to save more—without cutting joy out of your life When you finish this article, you'll see that increasing your savings doesn't mean living smaller. It means living smarter. What Is Lifestyle Creep—And Why Is It So Dangerous? We live in a consumption-driven world. Everywhere we look, there's an ad convincing us we need something new. Apple doesn't ask what we want—they tell us what we didn't know we needed. The next iPhone, the next upgrade, the next experience. That's lifestyle creep. It's the pattern of spending more simply because we earn more. Bruce calls it “the hidden drain on your future.” Because when every new dollar gets consumed by an upgraded lifestyle, none of it turns into wealth. And here's the sneaky part: it doesn't feel reckless. It feels normal. Everyone around us does the same thing. We raise our standard of living instead of our standard of saving—and we end up with more stuff but no margin. Lifestyle creep makes you rich on the outside but broke on the inside. Why We Overspend—And How the Mind Tricks Us Our culture makes spending effortless. Credit cards, one-click shopping, social media retargeting—these are all designed to bypass logic and hit emotion. As I said on the show, “It's the sea we swim in.” Most people don't realize how much marketing is shaping their sense of ...

Rev. Charley Reeb will be preaching on Matthew 25:31-40.

During Ep. 65 of the State of the Market for Law Firm Sales in 11 Minutes, Nicole Bergen, Founder & Chief Strategist for Elevate Marketing Research, joins to address the following 2 questions:   Question 1: What do you recommend for PI firms seeking to develop & measure their firm's brand value, including how to score high on Elevate's Brand Report Card?   Question 2: What are your thoughts about how a PI firm's brand value can enhance a PI firm's value when planning for a sale exit strategy?   When developing brand for a Personal Injury Law Firm, Bergen emphasizes the need to focus on what is important to the consumer, urging listeners to consider advertising as “Me-vertising,” i.e., what is in it for me, the consumer – the client?   As Bergen states, “If you can't answer that question, you're not developing a brand. A brand is the answer to that question.”   Bergen also describes aspects of Elevate's Brand Report Card, including suggesting that Personal Injury Law Firms identify their Unique Selling Point (USP) and structure “Me-vertising” with a focus on 1 or 2 USPs, followed by measuring how a USP performs in the marketplace to attract more clients based upon that USP, i.e., its brand.   Bergen suggests that PI firms consider the following:   “How can you demonstrate empathy to the consumer?”   When discussing how brand value can enhance a Personal Injury Law Firm's value in contemplation of an exit/sale or to bolster investment, Bergen points out that data analytics can support a PI law firm's brand value.   Poock adds that demonstrating brand value will also result in adding a separate line item to the sale of Personal Injury Law Firms, in addition to determining a multiple of EBITDA.   As Poock states, “[W]hen firms can have and present data analytics that show that “Me-vertising” is translating into sales because of brand value, that's going to add additional zeros . . . could be a lot of zeros, by the way, when you are taking on, as Nicole is saying, an investor, or when you are selling your Personal Injury Law Firm.”

In this episode of the IT Experts Podcast, I sat down with the brilliant Fiona Challis to separate reality from the noise and give MSP owners a practical route to value. We opened with a simple viewpoint. AI is not a magic fix and it is not a toy to chase. It becomes powerful when it sits on top of clear processes, clean data, and a focused plan.     That theme runs through the whole conversation with Fiona Challis, who has spent recent years enabling partners around enterprise AI and then translating that experience for the MSP world. The result is a set of grounded lessons that help you create capacity, improve client experience, and grow revenue without creating chaos.    We began with the service desk, because it is where most MSPs feel the pain. Fiona Challis drew a helpful line between automation and AI. Many teams still have a backlog of simple automations available inside the tools they already pay for. Tidy those first to free time and reduce firefighting. Once the ground is set, AI can handle a large slice of tier one demand through voice agents and smart triage. A well-trained voice agent can answer calls, qualify the user, create a ticket with the right context, and get it to the correct queue. That single move lowers the noise floor and gives engineers the space to do higher value work. The critical point is that none of this works without basic workflows, decent documentation, and accurate data. Garbage in leads to poor outcomes. A little discipline in process creates a lot of value once you layer in AI.    Sales and marketing came next. Many MSP owners dislike this part of the job and often push it to the bottom of the to do list. AI can carry a heavy load here when used thoughtfully. Fiona Challis explained how an AI SDR can answer inbound calls at all hours, qualify interest, book meetings straight into your calendar, and route non buyers to relevant assets that nurture interest. That removes delay and prevents lead leakage. On outbound and account development, an AI analyst agent can sweep your CRM and contracts to surface missed opportunities across your existing base. We discussed one real world example where this activity revealed more than six hundred thousand pounds of potential from accounts that were already paying the MSP. That kind of return changes the shape of the quarter and gives your team a clear priority list.    Tool choice came up, and we gave a steer that saves time. Do not buy software based on headline price. Measure tools by the hours they give back, the improvement in client experience, and how they help your team perform. Money can be earned again. Time cannot. If one platform removes half of your tier one traffic or cuts proposal cycle time in half, that platform pays for itself many times over.     We then tackled client offerings, with a special focus on Microsoft Copilot. Many MSPs sell the licence and stop there, which leaves clients confused and creates security risk from ad hoc use of multiple AI tools. The fix is simple and valuable. Adopt Copilot inside your own MSP first and create one or two internal champions. Capture the time saved and the outcomes you achieve. Lead with those use cases in your conversations. Follow that with a paid AI or Copilot readiness assessment that checks data hygiene, permissions, workflows, and change readiness.    Fiona Challis has seen MSPs charge meaningfully for this assessment, then package remedial work to clean data, lock down access, and prepare the environment. Once the foundations are set, run a 30-day adoption pilot that targets a visible quick win, like meeting summaries with actions, agent setup for routine tasks, or document drafting for proposals. After the pilot, move into an acceleration phase that adds leaderboards, prompt packs, training rhythms, and light gamification to drive real adoption. The message is simple. You are not selling a licence. You are guiding a transformation that raises productivity, revenue, and experience for users and clients.    A question many owners ask is who delivers all of this. The pathway is not heavy. Your AI SDR filters interest and books the right conversations. Your internal champions run the readiness assessment with a clear checklist. Your engineers deliver the remediation as projects with defined outcomes. Your client success rhythm then tracks adoption and wins. That repeatable sequence turns Copilot from an unprofitable add on into a profitable solution stack that protects your base and attracts buyers who value progress.    Throughout the episode, Fiona Challis emphasised a steady cadence. Create a two-year roadmap across four quadrants, service operations, sales, marketing, and client offerings. Pick one quick win every 30 to 90 days. Implement, measure, and move to the next win. That rhythm stops the noise, builds confidence, and compounds results. It also positions you as a managed AI provider in the eyes of your clients. You become the partner who assesses readiness, remediates risk, aligns workflow, and accelerates adoption with measurable impact.    AI becomes a growth engine when it sits on top of simple process, clean data, and a plan your team can follow. Start inside your business. Automate what you can. Deploy AI where it makes a dent in time and quality. Use AI to make sales and marketing consistent so that your calendar fills with qualified meetings. Become your own best Copilot case study, sell the readiness assessment, deliver the remediation, and lead a visible 30-day pilot that wins hearts and minds. Keep going with an acceleration pack that keeps adoption rising every week. That is the path to scale with confidence.  You can connect with Fiona Challis on her LinkedIn HERE.  Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours.

On today's final episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series this year, I'm answering a question submitted by one of our amazing listeners regarding how to measure your body fat while you're at home to be able to interpret if you're making progress or not with more certainty. One of the drawbacks of only using the scale to track your progress is sometimes you can lose body fat while gaining (or even maintaining muscle)... leading to body composition changes that aren't reflected on the scale. This means you can be making physical progress, looking leaner and even dropping your body fat percentage but the scale may not have budged anymore than a few pounds if that. This is why beginning a practice to track your body fat percentage and body composition is so crucial to your fitness journey, despite it sometimes being challenging without the right equipment. If you're ready to explore new ways to track your body composition and progress at home without needing fancy or expensive gadgets, this episode features my simple, at-home strategies I use with my own clients to measure progress in other ways than just the scale.

Are you using “attachment parenting” — or accidentally doing permissive parenting?In this eye-opening conversation, Greg & Rachel Denning break down what true attachment parenting is (and isn't). They share the skills, mindsets, and tools that helped them eliminate tantrums for 16 years and prevent teen rebellion—without yelling, shaming, or rigid control.You'll learn why parenting is a specific, learnable skill, how to build secure attachment from baby to teen, and where popular advice (cry-it-out, forced “holding time,” over-scheduling, letting kids lead everything) quietly damages trust. You'll also get a clear blueprint for connection with boundaries so kids feel safe, seen, and guided—and you feel calm, confident, and effective.Bottom line: Attachment is earned, not forced. Respect your child's free will, meet real needs (sleep, food, attention), co-regulate big emotions, and set firm, sensible boundaries. That's the evergreen approach that works in every generation.Key Takeaways✅ Parenting is a skill—unrelated to how good you are at business, sports, or leadership.✅ Attachment ≠ permissive. It's connection + boundaries and kind + firm.✅ Attachment is earned, not forced. No cry-it-out or “holding until defeat.”✅ Respect free will while providing age-appropriate structure and safety.✅ Co-regulation first (your calm is contagious), then teach self-regulation.✅ Meet basics (sleep, nutrition, attention) before behavior battles.✅ Measure success by long-term trust and adult outcomes—not short-term compliance.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Attachment Parenting00:43 Clarifying Misunderstandings in Parenting02:04 The Importance of Parenting Skills03:09 Defining Success in Parenting04:39 Understanding Attachment Parenting05:23 The Dangers of Misapplied Parenting Techniques06:56 The Impact of Adoption on Attachment08:25 The Consequences of Control in Parenting11:28 The Role of Freedom in Child Development13:48 The Misconception of Holding Time16:10 The Impact of Sleep Training on Children17:59 Respecting Free Will in Parenting20:39 The Concept of Holding Time24:22 Understanding Boundaries and Safety28:24 Preparing Children for Adulthood31:24 The Lifelong Mentor-Mentee Relationship33:01 Building a Legacy of Good ParentingMemorable Quotes

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., CSP—award-winning keynote speaker and author of Momentum Mindset: How to Turn Setbacks into Success. We unpack practical strategies to move from overwhelm to action: the Pyramid of Possibilities to locate yourself, the Three Time Zones to mine lessons (not excuses) from your past, and the clarity trifecta—purpose, priorities, and pace—to build repeatable momentum without burnout. If you lead a team, run a business, or you're simply stuck, this episode shows you how to reframe honestly, separate identity from results, and bounce forward with a system of adaptive thinking, aligning, and doing. About the guest  : Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., CSP is a keynote speaker, leadership coach, and author of Momentum Mindset. He helps leaders and teams convert adversity into advantage through systems that build clarity, confidence, and repeatable progress. Key takeaways:   Locate before you launch: Use the Pyramid of Possibilities to identify where you're believing myths versus truth so change starts from awareness. Measure momentum in days, not months: Build confidence with small repeatable actions; moments compound into momentum. Reframe without denial: The Three Time Zones model turns past pain into present power by extracting lessons (not blame). Ask better questions: “What does this moment require of me?” moves you from reaction to ownership. Clarity = purpose + priorities + pace: Right-size your speed to preserve capacity and produce results that matter. Build a thinking system: Shift to adaptive thinking → adaptive aligning → adaptive doing to keep evolving. Separate identity from outcomes: Results reflect inputs and alignment, not your worth; reconnect identity to purpose and values. Bounce forward after setbacks: Call a timeout, take stock, audit resourcing, and redesign inputs before the next move. Scale by pruning: “Scale back to scale up”—remove scatter, focus on what truly matters, then expand. Momentum loves witnesses: Share one win daily to reinforce progress and accountability.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Oct 28, 2025 Build a life that can't be toppled by pressure. Don't chase moments of inspiration; cultivate depth. Choose to be planted—under sound teaching, in a real community, with real accountability—so the word doesn't sit on the surface but penetrates until Christ dwells in your heart through faith. Hold two truths together: God is good and God is Judge. He doesn't delight in evil, yet the moral fabric of His world includes consequences. Break a law—natural or spiritual—and you meet the result. That's not cynicism; it's clarity that pushes you toward obedience. Your greatest vulnerability isn't public scandal; it's offense. Offense feels justified, argues its case, and quietly reroutes your path while life looks “fine.” Treat offense like spiritual carbon monoxide: invisible, deadly, and urgent to clear. Wage a daily interior war: bridle your tongue, answer softly, cast down accusing thoughts, confess and forgive quickly (today, not tomorrow), and practice sincere—not performative—love. Obedience is not legalism; it's the purifier of the soul. As you obey, your judgments become cleaner, your compassion steadier, and your love more durable. Grow with patience. Depth takes time. Some battles require a command; others require a covering. Learn when to speak and when to hide in God (think Psalm 91): wisdom is better than war. Don't mistake gifts, money, or platform for maturity. Measure growth by inner steadiness, clean motives, quick repentance, and consistent love under pressure. Build a rule of life that trains your reflexes toward humility, purity, Scripture, prayer, and community—so when tribulation arises because of the word, you stand. Grow with patience. Depth takes time. Some battles require a command; others require a covering. Train discernment: speak when truth is being twisted or the vulnerable are at risk; hide in God when your ego is inflamed, when you lack inner peace or authority, or when trusted covering counsels waiting—wisdom is better than war. Practice a holy pause: pray → bless → act (without letting the sun set on anger). Welcome pruning—instruction, testing, correction—not as threats to your calling but as proof that you're being fitted to carry it. Refuse counterfeit maturity: gifts, money, platform, and busyness are not fruit. Measure growth by inner steadiness under pressure, clean motives, quick repentance, unoffended love, and the verdict of those who live closest to you. Build durable rhythms: daily Word and prayer; nightly examen; weekly Sabbath and confession/accountability; monthly fasting and intentional generosity to break self-protection. Keep guardrails: no secret channels, no gossip, no rehearsed accusations; answer softly—short and specific—and make amends quickly. Anchor yourself in a Paul–Barnabas–Timothy circle (mentor, peer, mentee). In warfare, abide before you bind—authority flows from union with Christ and unity with His body; some strongholds yield to sustained holiness and corporate agreement, not one loud moment. Let love draw the boundary lines—a pure heart, a good conscience, a sincere faith—so when tribulation rises because of the word, you don't scramble for stability; you stand.

Legacy, Stewardship, and Straight Talk: A Conversation with Dan Cabela Summary John sits down with Dan Cabela—conservation advocate and scion of the Cabela family—to share a wild-game meal and talk honestly about why hunting matters, how funding and policy actually move the needle for wildlife conservation, and what it takes to bridge the gap between hunters and non-hunters. No dunking, no shouting—just good food and better questions. What you'll hear Origin story: The moment Dan's love for the outdoors turned into a commitment to stewardship. Conservation, not slogans: How regulated hunting, tags, and excise taxes fund habitat, research, and management. Ethics in practice: Fair chase, technology creep, and what “doing it right” looks like before, during, and after the shot. Bridging divides: How to talk to non-hunters with humility, data, and real stories. Global perspective: Wins and lessons from projects around the world—and what actually scales. Legacy & responsibility: Carrying a famous name without being trapped by it. Wild game on the table: Cooking notes, transparency, and why sharing a meal changes the conversation. Quick takeaways Stewardship > rhetoric: Policy + funding + local buy-in beat internet arguments. Many pathways to help: You don't have to hunt to support wildlife—join, donate, volunteer, vote smart. Food is a bridge: A plate of honest wild game opens doors that debate can't. Measure impact: If it doesn't move habitat, populations, or community support, it's just noise. Suggested chapter guide (drop in timestamps after publish) Cold open & wild-game dish Dan's early field memories → stewardship pivot How conservation gets funded (and where it fails) Ethics & tech in modern hunting International lessons that apply at home Sharing wild food with skeptics Rapid-fire: favorite hunts, mentors, books Calls to action & ways to get involved About our guest Dan Cabela is a lifelong outdoorsman and conservation advocate whose work spans habitat projects, policy support, and community engagement. He focuses on pragmatic solutions that sustain wildlife and local economies.

Brands are personal. AI is not. So how do you use a tool that has no feelings, no experiences, and no voice of its own to help you build a brand that feels deeply personal and unmistakably you? It starts long before you ever open ChatGPT. Define Your Brand Before AI Touches It  Before you hand anything over to AI, take time to define your brand yourself. Ask: Who are my customers? What do they think about me now? What do I want them to say about me? That clarity becomes your North Star. Otherwise, you're just asking AI to aimlessly generate words without direction. Audit What the Internet Thinks  Once you know who you think you are, find out what the internet thinks you are. Instead of Googling your name or company like we used to, go to ChatGPT and ask: “What is the brand perception of [Your Name or Company]?” “What is [Brand] known for?” “What do people say about this brand online?” Then compare what comes back with your original vision. That's where the human part of branding kicks in. You have to decide: Do I adjust my message to match this audience, or do I refine my audience to match my message?  That's not a whim—it's a business decision. Know Who's Actually Buying  Forget what you want to be true. Who's actually opening their wallets? Sometimes your real buyers don't match your target persona or AI's assumptions. Analyze the overlap and decide: Who do I really want more of? Who do I actually have now? You can't market to everyone. Pick your lane.  Define Your Voice  Next, upload three pieces of your own writing—blog posts, service pages, whatever—to ChatGPT and ask: “If you were another AI tool writing for this brand, how would you describe this tone and voice?” That gives you a practical, data-driven description of your style—something you can reuse for consistency across content. Once you've defined both your customer persona and brand voice, everything you produce should be filtered through those two lenses.  Clarify Your Unique Value  Now get specific about what makes you different. Ask: What problem do I solve? What pain does my customer feel? Why do they come to me instead of someone else? You can even ask ChatGPT to analyze common pain points for your audience—but always check it against what your actual customers tell you. That becomes the foundation for your positioning statement—your internal compass for marketing, not a fluffy public mission statement. Analyze Competitors  Then, ask AI for a competitive analysis within your market or niche—set clear parameters like geography or audience size. Use that list to identify where you stand, what gaps you can fill, and how to differentiate. Test, Measure, Adjust  Finally, make changes slowly. Update your copy, tweak your visuals, and every few months, check: Am I attracting the right audience? Is engagement improving? Are leads getting better quality? That's how you use AI without losing yourself in the process.  REMEMBER:  You can't outsource identity—AI refines it, not defines it. Use AI as a mirror, not a mask. Always verify what AI says about your brand with real human data. Voice + audience clarity = consistent brand growth. Branding is evolution, not automation.

Luke 15 opens with two audiences: “tax collectors and sinners” drawing near to hear Jesus, and Pharisees/Scribes complaining that He receives and eats with them. Jesus answers with the parable of the lost sheep to show God's initiating grace: the Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine, seeks until He finds the one, places it on His shoulders, and calls for rejoicing. Heaven celebrates one sinner who repents. The main claim: salvation is the Shepherd's work from start to finish—He seeks, finds, carries, and keeps. Key Points 1. Context (vv.1–2): Two postures—those who listen vs. those who grumble. The gospel is demonstrated, not defended. 2. The Parable (vv.3–7): • Losing & Leaving: Strategic reallocation—leave the 99 to seek the 1. • Seeking “Until”: Persevering grace; God moves first (initiating grace). • Finding & Carrying: The Shepherd bears the full weight; assurance rests on His shoulders, not our performance. • Rejoicing: Heaven's culture is joy over repentance; the church should mirror it. 3. Theology of Salvation: Salvation belongs to the Lord; we don't add to Christ's finished work. Repentance is ongoing—turning from sin to God as a pattern, not a one-time checkbox. 4. Mission Application: Evangelism is normal kingdom work. Measure success by heaven's joy, not comfort or numbers. Practices for the Week • Name Your One: Identify a person, pray for them daily, and make one concrete touchpoint (coffee, meal, invitation). • Schedule “Leave the 99” Blocks: Carve out two weeks with intentional “seek” time (neighborhood prayer walks, workplace prayer, hospital/nursing-home visits, coffee-shop conversations). • Host a “Luke 15 Table”: Once a month, open your home for a simple meal and honest discussion through Luke 15; create a safe place for questions. • Follow-Up Culture: Pair celebration with discipleship—meet, read Scripture together, and support new believers. Scriptures Luke 15:1–7; Luke 19:10; John 10; Ezekiel 34; Isaiah 40:11; Psalm 23; Psalm 100:3; Zephaniah 3:17; Hebrews 13:20; 1 Peter 2:25; Romans 10:13.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, Dr. Amanda Adkins—double-board certified in internal and lifestyle medicine with a certificate in plant-based nutrition—breaks down practical, evidence-based steps women can use to reduce risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic inflammation. We cover high-impact foods (leafy greens, beans, whole-food plants), simple habit swaps for busy caregivers, how to avoid restriction cycles, and how lifestyle choices influence gene expression (epigenetics). If you want clear, scalable strategies that combine science and faith for long-term health, this episode delivers actionable guidance you can start this week. About the guest: Dr. Amanda Adkins is a lifestyle medicine physician and health strategist who helps women prevent — and sometimes reverse — chronic conditions through plant-forward nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. She blends clinical evidence with spiritual grounding to create sustainable, habit-based care. Key takeaways: Prioritize leafy greens daily: they supply nitrates and antioxidants that support vascular health and blood pressure control. Add beans and legumes for fiber to stabilise blood glucose — plant protein and fibre lower insulin resistance. Reduce saturated fat and refined carbs; most benefits come from adding whole plants rather than punitive restriction. When pressed for time, choose fresh, pre-made foods cautiously: check ingredients for added sugar, salt, and fats. Build habits by adding before subtracting — introduce plant foods first, then crowd out less healthy options to avoid restriction cycles. Measure health with function metrics (energy, BP, sleep) rather than only scale weight to prevent shame and perfectionism. Protein concerns on plant diets are typically overstated — most people meet needs via beans, lentils, nuts and whole grains. Epigenetics: genes are a deck of cards — lifestyle (diet, sleep, stress, movement) helps “play the hand” differently and can reduce disease risk. Self-care is not selfish: short, consistent investment in rest, food prep, and movement improves long-term capacity to care for others. Small, repeatable keystone habits + tracking two feel/function metrics yield sustainable improvement vs big, short-term overhauls.

Michael R. Drew teaches us how to write books that build credibility, serve your audience, and generate lasting business impact, far beyond bestseller lists. He has spent his career turning ideas into bestsellers. With more than 100 books launched onto national lists and over 1,000 No. 1 titles on Amazon, he's one of the most accomplished book marketers in the industry. Having worked with publishers such as Bard Press, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Thomas Nelson, Michael has mastered the art and strategy of getting books noticed. Today, he helps authors write with purpose, build powerful platforms, and turn their message into lasting influence. Michael has helped launch over 130 books onto major bestseller lists. But his true genius lies in showing authors how to use a book as a business tool, not just a trophy. He breaks down the real meaning of success, how to define your book's purpose, and why the best authors start with outcomes, not words. Key points discussed include: Define your “why”: Start with the outcome you want your book to achieve, then design everything around that. The bestseller myth: Lists don't define success, impact and leverage do. Build before you publish: Create the infrastructure and audience your book will serve. Measure what matters: Identify metrics that reflect transformation, not just sales. Distribution wisdom: When and how to pursue hybrid, traditional, or self-publishing. PR is your job: No one will care more about your book's success than you do. Start before you're ready: Don't wait for perfect writing, get help editing later. Share your story: You have an obligation to use your experiences to help others. Connect with Michael R. Drew Website | Instagram

Chuck Welden doesn't just talk real estate — he lives it.He's a landlord, developer, and manager who still picks up trash on his own properties. In this episode, Chuck brings the heat (and the humor), breaking down:

Jon Herold keeps The Daily Herold rolling with a mix of sharp wit, news breakdowns, and classic Badlands banter. He opens with sponsor shoutouts and listener jokes before diving into Trump's latest headlines, an extravagant new White House ballroom, a rare earth deal with Australia, and a fiery True Social post threatening to “close up” Colombia's drug fields. Jon dissects Trump's fluctuating praise and criticism of the FBI, new developments in Gaza, and the “three-quarter measures” approach of the Justice Department's latest moves. From Comey's bid to dismiss his case to John Brennan's perjury referral, Jon challenges whether half measures will ever be enough to deliver full accountability. Along the way, he builds a hilarious “Political Foreplay” list of Trump-era promises still waiting for results and riffs on everything from pumpkin patch prices to Amazon's AI layoffs. Candid, chaotic, and packed with political sarcasm, this episode proves why The Daily Herold is where real talk and ridiculousness collide.

Smarter, Stronger, Sharper – How to Measure and Improve Your Brain Health What if your brain had a dashboard that told you exactly how well it was performing before you hit burnout, before focus fades, and before your memory starts to slip? In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the cutting edge science that is reshaping how we understand brain health. You will discover how researchers like Dr. Evelyne Bischof, a Harvard and Columbia trained longevity physician, are using data, AI, and neuroscience to measure brain performance in real time and even predict cognitive decline before it begins. Forget the old idea that your brain is static or unchangeable. Today, science can track everything from your biological brain age to your daily cognitive resilience and even show you how small lifestyle shifts can rewire your mind for greater clarity, energy, and focus. If you have ever wondered why some people stay sharp under pressure while others burn out, or how technology is helping us see what is happening inside the brain long before symptoms appear, this episode will change how you think about mental performance and longevity. Tune in because the future of brain health is not about reacting to problems, it is about measuring, training, and optimizing the most powerful system you have. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Brain health should be treated the same way we approach physical fitness or financial well-being: measurable, trackable, and provable." "Your chronological age is what your driver's license says. Your biological brain age is how old your brain acts." "The brain doesn't know the difference between a good habit and a bad habit — it just knows habit."
