You've been telling yourself the same story. That you need more money to start. That you need the perfect plan before you move. That fear is the reason you're stuck. Here's the truth: the only thing holding you back is the belief that something outside of you has to change before you can begin. Robert Herjavec went from arriving in America with nothing to building and selling companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He's one of the most recognizable faces on Shark Tank, and in this episode, he breaks down the exact mindset shifts that turned urgency into wealth, why most people quit before they compound, and the leadership mistake that quietly destroys great companies. From structuring earnouts with no money down to scaling a $400 million business without raising a dime, Robert reveals the frameworks that separate people who stay broke from people who build empires. In this episode, you'll learn: Why fear is what holds most people back and how the fear of hard work without guaranteed results is the real killer, not the work itself The poverty versus wealth mindset: why working to make a living keeps you stuck and how shifting to building wealth changes everything How Robert bought 13 businesses with no outside funding using earnouts, seller financing, and cash flow leverage, and why you don't need money in the bank to do deals The biggest mistake founders make when pitching: asking people to listen instead of making them want to hear, and why humility and subconscious alignment close deals before you even open your mouth How to value a company the right way: understanding industry multiples, EBITDA, and why people fail because they price based on what they need instead of what the business is worth Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for certainty. The life you want is on the other side of the decision you're avoiding. My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain.

Jose Caballero's pitch clock gamesmanship has opponents furious, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why his ability to get under their skin could make him even more valuable to the Yankees. They also debate whether Anthony Volpe deserves to lose playing time and why Dennis Santana's reaction missed the mark. The conversation turns to grim Jets predictions, the team's new white uniforms, a welcome gesture from the Mets and Brian Cashman's history of making midseason moves. Plus, the crew discusses Freddy Peralta's struggles, Malik Nabers' recovery and what the Yankees must accomplish at the trade deadline.

This episode is part 2 of the series where Sarah is chatting with Annie Little about the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. If you missed the first episode in this series, check that out first and learn the background of this series and more about Annie. This episode is about the misery of ambiguity and forced pretense, which is the first of four things Graeber identifies as an impact that having a bullshit job can have on you.When it comes to ambiguity in law firms, the lack of transparency is the first thing that comes to mind for Annie. She points out that there should be a simple, straightforward path with clear instructions on each assignment and an obvious ladder to climb within the firm. In reality, there are so many hidden things that lawyers are left to just figure out on their own.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:3The lie- A Christian life of holiness is burdensome and boringThe truth- A Christian life of holiness is what we were made for and its good!True holiness is living our life as God, our creator, intended. Holiness is our set apart design. This design is what we were made for, and it is good!Holy: to be set apart, consecrated, dedicatedHoliness: the state of being set apart for God“2 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses's seat.3 But don't do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.” Matthew 23:2-4“28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest….30 My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28,30A Christian life of holiness simply means we have been set apart by God for his purposes“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.” 1 Peter 2:9“27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:27-28We were created for holiness because we have been set apart from all other creations.Holiness is not a burden of our Christianity. Holiness is the freedom to become what God created us to be.Holiness is the environment we were created to thrive in. It is the pathway to truly live.“ I have come that you have life and life abundantly” John 10:10.“In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalms 16:11“My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:11“8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put man who he had formed.9 And…the Lord God made every tree grow that was pleasant…and good…” Genesis 2:8-9“God's holiness is essential to his nature and fundamental to His being. His holiness is what makes him good, and loving, and kind, and faithful. Without holiness, God wouldn't be beautiful, and so because of it, He is eternally attractive. Think about the opposite of it being present in Him and you may see my point. If He were sovereign, but wicked, with no inner righteousness to restrain His hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the world was no more. If He had all power without love, our refusal to love Him back would result in cosmic abuse or maybe a million more floods with no rainbow to promise His relent. If He were an unholy God, what would salvation even mean? What is deliverance to a self-centered “savior”? Thankfully, our God is incomprehensibly holy and therefore completely beautiful in all of His ways and works. This is why we are invited to worship Him as such, and in so doing, we become just as beautiful as He is. Holiness is not an aspect of God; holy is who He is through and through” – Jackie Hill Perry“The veiling of his glory was the real marvel. The Divine restraint which prohibited the illumination of his sacred humanity.”- Joseph S. Excel“When God decides to make something, He does it not to fill a void but to give opportunity for all that He is to be known by another.” – Jackie Hill Perry“He who called you is holy, you also be holy…” 1 Peter 1:15We experience the Christian life of holiness as boring and burdensome, when we think we can be holy apart from God.“24 Put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:24“ We all, with an unveiled face (this is the gospel: the veil was torn at the cross), beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord (his image in us) are being transformed into the same image (holiness) from glory to glory just as by the Spirit of the Lord (not apart from God).” 2 Corinthians 3:18We were created for a life of holiness that is good, by beholding His holiness!“We have come to behold the beauty of his holiness, and by beholding it, we became as lovely as He is.” – Jackie Hill Perry
Evan celebrates biking back to work, reflects on the risks of riding through New York City and jokes about what Tiki may have to endure when he returns to the studio. The conversation then shifts to the loyal Mets fans who sat through a cold, misty and completely chaotic night at Citi Field. Callers explain why they refused to leave early, even as the Mets stumbled through a 28 run spectacle filled with errors, blown leads and unforgettable moments. Evan also revisits the argument for trading for Tarik Skubal, insisting that the Yankees should focus on winning now rather than worrying about the distant future.

In this episode of the PRmoment Podcast News Review, Ben Smith steers a sharp conversation with Mark Borkowski and Angie Moxham about one big idea: expectation management as a core comms discipline, using England at the World Cup and Andy Burnham as parallel case studies."We've been in a melee of misery with Starmer… now in comes Burnham, coming up on the left wing, dribbling the ball of hope alongside Kane and his team." – Angie Moxham [0:03:44]Mark opens by reframing “hope” as both asset and liability. For England, he argues, the data says we've already over-performed historically: given the country's size, winning in 1966 was an outlier. Yet every tournament is framed as “win or failure,” a narrative supercharged by 24/7 media and influencer culture. His mantra — never over‑promise, never under‑deliver — is basically a risk‑management doctrine for communicators. The problem, he says, is we “don't have the language to manage expectation” at a national level. That's a damning indictment of both political and media comms: we're great at hype, dreadful at landing people safely when reality bites.Angie extends this into mood politics. The country has lurched from a “melee of misery” under Starmer's early leadership into a fragile “moment of hope” pinned on both Harry Kane and Burnham. Her point is brutally simple: when you load that much symbolic weight onto a football match or a leader, the inevitable downside is a national emotional crash when they fall short. She explicitly links this to GDP, underlining that expectation isn't just psychological theatre – it has real economic consequences.Both guests converge on a core technique: use statistics and framing to create perspective. Mark uses probability (England's slim chances; the structural difficulty of governing in a weak economy) to temper fantasy. Angie echoes this in her client advice: frame stories with facts and stats so journalists can anchor coverage in reality, not fantasy. This is effectively a playbook for PRs: don't just pitch hope; quantify risk, odds, and timelines.The Burnham discussion is where the political application crystallises. Angie praises his early “quick wins” and symbolic moves (e.g. moving Number 10 north) that signal momentum without waiting for legislation. That's clever expectation design: visible, low‑friction actions that buy time for slower structural change. In contrast, Starmer's early period is described as “rabbits in the headlights” — a textbook case of failing to capitalise on the expectation window at the start of a mandate.Mark's take on Thomas Tuchel adds a personal brand layer. Tuchel, he argues, has engineered a no‑lose positioning: if he fails with England, he still exits as a scarce, elite coach. His softer English‑language persona versus his more aggressive German‑language style is framed as deliberate audience‑specific self‑editing — expectation management at the level of tone and character.Editorially, the through‑line is clear: good comms is not about fuelling euphoria; it's about designing the landing. The sophisticated operator uses data, symbolic gestures, and controlled language to keep hope alive without guaranteeing miracles.More quotes from this week's show:"Never over‑promise and never under‑deliver."– Mark Borkowski [0:01:07]"We don't have the language to manage expectation, in this country."– Mark Borkowski [0:02:57]"With every person who follows England, the phrase is it's the hope that kills you."– Mark Borkowski [0:01:40]"We've been in a melee of misery doom with Starmer leading the country… now in comes Burnham, coming up the left wing, dribbling the ball of hope alongside Kane and his team."– Angie Moxham [0:03:44]"When, if and when we lose, which we're likely to statistically, the mood of the nation is going to be absolutely crashing and burning."– Angie Moxham [0:04:15]"The media have a lot of responsibility here… the language that they use, the way they corral the nation's mood."– Angie Moxham [0:04:37]"The World Cup impacts GDP, it literally does."– Angie Moxham [0:04:58]"He's heralding in a new age of politics… he's just a normal guy, he's a man of the people."– Angie Moxham [0:09:19]

(This is an unscripted devotional sharing the story of a 7 year miracle in the making.) Story of the Prodigal – Luke 15: 11-24 Waited for 4 years – began to run out of hope – tried in desperation to do it my way – to regain control – to force, manipulate Story of Waiting – John 5: 2-9 38 years, but he still showed up there. He still had someone carry him there that day to await for the healing that still hadn’t come. God asked me for 30 years. Would I still trust him if it took 30 years for my daughter to come home? Would I choose joy over misery while waiting for 30 years? The moment I intentionally chose joy even if it took 30 years, I was given the gift of PEACE. Isaiah 26:3, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Although God asked me for 30 years, HE DID IT IN SEVEN!!!!!!! The wedding – the party – the perfect peace! Here’s what I have learned: • 1. In the wait, you have a choice – choose faith and joy. Misery does not honor God. Psalm 42:11, “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again – my Savior and my God!” • 2. There’s power in your thoughts. KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS FIXED ON GOD and HIS PROMISES. Again, Isaiah 26:3, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” • 3. You can’t always make it better, but you can make it worse – DON’T MAKE IT WORSE. • 4. Do everything in LOVE. If you can’t do it in love, don’t do it. • 5. Stop trying to save them from their testimony. Let God do his work in their lives. • 6. God is faithful beyond measure and his promises will stand through it all. (God had made promises to the Israelites of a future home of bountiful provision and blessings. A land he would make their own after hundreds of years of slavery in Egypt. Although the Israelites got lost along the way, wandered and wavered, God brought them to the land he promised. Joshua 21:43-45, “So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF ALL THE GOOD PROMISES THE LORD HAD GIVEN TO THE FAMILY OF ISRAEL WAS LEFT UNFULFILLED; EVERYTHING HE HAD SPOKE CAME TRUE.” • 7. Drop your expectations of perfection and trust God’s eternal plan. Every single thing I “wished” wouldn’t happen actually happened and then God used it all for good. I wished there wouldn’t be drugs or addiction involved. Then there was. God worked with that. I wished there wouldn’t be a baby. Then there was. God worked with that. I wished it wouldn’t get worse before it got better. Then it got worse. God worked with that. If you’re so busy with expectations of what you think it’s supposed to look like, you may miss the full blessing of God’s best plans. Proverbs 19:21, “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” Isaiah 55:8 the Lord says, “My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” JUST TRUST HIM – HIS PLAN – HIS TIMING – HIS WAYS! You know what I realize now … God wasn’t just working on my daughter, HE WAS WORKING ON ME! I had so much to learn and so far to grow. I can honestly say today I’m better because of the long hard wait. I know how to pray. I know how to trust. I know how to seek. I know how to love. I know how to wait. I know how to live in peace. I know how to choose joy. If God pulled off a 7 year miracle for my family, he can pull off a 7 year miracle for your family! If I could find peace and joy in the wait, my friend, so can you! If God can receive glory in my story, then he can receive glory in your story.

For millions of commuters, the daily trek is a draining puzzle of schedules and traffic jams. Now China is weaving suburban rail, subways, bikes, and roads into a smarter transportation web across its megacities. If the slog shrinks, people might reclaim more than just minutes on the clock, and when cities begin to feel closer without anyone moving an inch, the way we live and connect could move in unexpected ways.

Today, we’re wrapping it up – the yuck list of what our lives can become when we are not under the influence of the Holy Spirit and following his guidance. So far in Galatians 5: 19-21 we’ve seen the sexual sins we so easily fall into, then the attitudes and behaviors that damage our relationship with God and others. It’s been a real yuck fest hanging out on the wrong side under the wrong influence. What we’ve learned so far is that’s not what we want, nor is that who we want to be. Now finally in verse 21, we have our final things to add to the column on the left labeled ‘Without the Holy Spirit’ – “Drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these.” Before you push away and think the Holy Spirit would never allow you to have fun, that’s not what this is about. This isn’t about making your life boring. This is truly about taking away every imitation of happiness the enemy has tried to entangle you in. God offers us immense joy and overflowing happiness, then Satan swoops in and tries to twist that into a pursuit of things that simply aren’t good for you. Do you realize when God calls something a sin it’s because it’s not good for you. He created you with a specific design, and as your creator he knows what is harmful to your design, so he warns you, “Hey, my child, don’t do this … it’s not good for you.” It’s like the warning label on a hair dryer that says don’t put this in water … Why fight that? We have warning labels on us, why are we fighting it? Understand what is specifically being said—drunkenness and wild parties. The sin is not drinking. The problem is not a party. Jesus was once at a wedding celebration where the wine ran out, so His first public miracle was turning water into wine for the wedding feast (John 2). The sin is intoxication that masters the person. The problem is the party that celebrates the loss of self-control, encourages excess, and creates an atmosphere where people cast off moral restraint. The concern here is not with joy or celebration; the concern is with a culture of indulgence where people surrender themselves to their desires rather than submit themselves to the Spirit. The problem is the party that is built around excess. The Greek word kōmoi used in this scripture refers to revelries—wild, drunken celebrations where restraint is abandoned and sinful behavior is encouraged. This is not a condemnation on gatherings, celebrations, or even the enjoying good things. This is about the kind of partying where intoxication and reckless behavior become the purpose of the event. You know that, “We’re gonna get drunk tonight! Get lit! Let loose!” … yeah that is NOT from the Holy Spirit. It’s hard for me to talk about these things because I have to be honest with you – I have absolutely no experience with it. At 50 years old, I’ve never been drunk a single time in my life. I’ve never been to the club or a bar. I’ve never gotten tipsy and let loose. So no, I really don’t know what that is like. But let me tell you what I’m qualified to talk about – I’m absolutely certain you can have fun and be 100% sober. There’s not a gathering I don’t have fun at. There’s not a celebration where I can’t laugh and enjoy. You can throw a party and it not become wild and wreckless. You can dance, you can sing, you can celebrate, and you can be the life of the party without a single regret. Think about how Jesus must have been when he walked this Earth. The gospels are full of accounts of Jesus being invited to weddings, invited to celebrations and gatherings, continually invited to come over for dinner. Children loved to be around Jesus. You know what this tells me – this tells me Jesus wasn’t boring. He wasn’t a stick in the mud. He wasn’t a downer. He was LITERALLY the life of the party in every sense of the word. Now we carry his spirit within us as his followers. He lives within us. We are empowered to be the life of the party with what he has put within us through our connection with him – and we’ve gotten it all twisted thinking in order for us to be fun and have fun we have to get drunk? That’s just straight from Hell right there. Tomorrow is opening day of my 111th BIG Life Retreat. It’s a girls weekend on the lake where we will tie together all of our floaties and float in the sunshine on the lake. We’ll be playing music and singing. There will be dancing. There will be uncontrollable laughter. There will be random last minute competitions of floating obstacle courses, relays of nonsense, and cheering team mates like we’re winning real gold medals. It will be a full on celebration of happiness. And there won’t be a drop of alcohol. None. When I first started hosting retreats, a whole lot of people didn’t come because they thought it would be impossible to have fun at a gathering without something to loosen them up. How could a girls weekend be a good time without the good stuff? Now, we know THE GOOD STUFF isn’t found in a bottle. The GOOD STUFF is found in God showing us how to celebrate life with pure joy and no regrets. Drunkenness and wild parties intentionally lower restraint with a celebration of impulsiveness, excess and indulgence. That’s the problem. A drunken person often pulls others into the same behavior. It becomes a chain effect. One person gets stupid, then the next person gets stupid. And with a bunch of stupid people not thinking right, sin becomes normalized. That’s not under the direction of the Holy Spirit. God says, “That’s not good for my creation.” So, we come with a warning label just like the hair dryer that’s not to be put in water – we’re vessels for the Holy Spirit and we are not to be drunk going to wild parties. It’s simply not good for us. This isn’t a matter of having all our fun taken away from us. Actually quite the opposite – this is a matter of not being fooled by the enemy and living in such a deeper level of fun offered by God. A fun with no regrets. A fun with full awareness. A fun that represents the joy of the Lord. This week, I’ve given the girls I mentor a challenge – a challenge to be the Ambassador of Fun wherever they are. Fun is a ministry. Really think about that. Fun shows the goodness of God and draws others into him. Misery doesn’t do that. Boring doesn’t do that. But fun sure does. Fun is a breath of fresh air for the soul who questions how much longer they can carry their burden. Fun invites them to see the good in life again. Fun is warfare against darkness, pushing back what the enemy has tried to use to overwhelm. And we can literally minister to others through our holy fun. Walk into every room asking, “How can I leave this place lighter than I found it?” My friend, THAT IS MINISTRY! Do you think I’m a fun person? Do you think I know how to enjoy life? Do you think I know how to throw a party others really want to come to? I can promise you there’s something better than alcohol and stupidity … there’s the Holy Spirit and genuine fun! After the past 4 days of studying the list on the wrong side, maybe you’re breathing lighter because your specific sin hasn’t been listed. That’s why I love it’s all wrapped up with a “and other sins like these.” Yip, it’s covered. Anything not under the guidance of the Holy Spirit is not producing goodness in our lives. It is hurting us or hurting others. It’s not God’s best for us. There’s a song called “Search Me” by Kristian Stanfill that has given me the words to pray. Each morning during my time with God on my knees, I pray these song lyrics: Search me, Lord, and know me Purify my life Find in me anything That doesn't bow to You as King I'm not ok to stay the same From now until life's through Jesus, make me more like You Do whatever You have to do That’s what it’s about – Allow the Holy Spirit to search you and know you. Allow him to find anything within you that doesn’t bow to him as King. Decide right now you’re not okay with just staying the same. You want more – let the Holy Spirit set you free to experience the fullness of life Jesus came to offer you!

Two more islanders were voted out of the villa and while it might not be shocking who they sent home, it was surprising why the women chose Gabe over Caleb. It was also pretty damn satisfying to hear Sol’s reaction to the villa, calling it “couples island” rather than “love island.” Also, the episode was worth a watch solely for her confrontation with Sincere. All the drama on Thursday sets up an explosive night in Fiji tonight, with the boys outraged by the girls’ decision to dump Gabe because they claimed he was always looking for the next bombshell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
