Despite accounting for nearly half of all new businesses in the U.S., women founders receive only 2% of total venture capital funding. Molly Huyck, Founder and CEO of AeQuitas Invest, realized the dire need for change and has built an innovative solution: a funding platform exclusively for women entrepreneurs.Molly's journey toward launching AeQuitas Invest began at PayPal, where she spent over 20 years building a career informed by innovation and a commitment to creating equal opportunities. Motivated by her global mentorship experience with women entrepreneurs in partnership with the Cherie Blair Foundation, Molly learned of a staggering $5 trillion gap in global GDP caused by inequities in access to capital for women. This eye-opening realization fueled her passion to address the challenge.“When in looking at other crowdfunding platforms, literally, on average, four out of 66 raises that are going on at any one time are women founders,” Molly explained. “It doesn't make sense to me personally, and it doesn't make sense economically.”AeQuitas Invest is more than a simple platform—it's an ecosystem designed to support women founders beyond funding. Molly and her team take a hands-on approach, creating cohorts of founders to foster collaboration and shared learning. The platform also offers access to marketing, legal, and accounting experts, helping women founders navigate challenges at just the right time.“Women operate differently. Women lead differently,” Molly said. “Studies show they typically have a return of $0.78 per dollar invested in them versus men, who return only $0.31 per dollar. That's why I created AeQuitas Invest—to connect women founders with investors and close the gap.”Currently, the platform has several promising campaigns in its pipeline, including Blockchain Homes, which is already live. By offering regulated crowdfunding opportunities, AeQuitas Invest empowers investors to support women-led businesses and drive meaningful change.Molly's story and AeQuitas Invest demonstrate the power of innovation and collective support to address inequities for women entrepreneurs. This episode highlights how platforms like AeQuitas can be game changers for gender equality in entrepreneurship.tl;dr:Women-led businesses receive just 2% of VC funding, but AeQuitas Invest aims to change that.Founder Molly Huyck built AeQuitas Invest to provide a crowdfunding platform just for women founders.The platform creates a community with hands-on support to help women succeed in fundraising.Molly shares how her personal journey and experience inspired her commitment to gender equality.Today's episode highlights how empowering women entrepreneurs creates meaningful impact for investors and society.How to Develop Empowering Others As a SuperpowerMolly's superpower lies in empowering others, especially women, to rise up and succeed. Reflecting on her journey, she explained, “I take a bet on others and encourage them to be their best selves, that I believe in them, that I trust them.” Molly's approach is rooted in creating opportunities for others to thrive, fostering confidence, and supporting people to achieve their full potential.Molly described hiring an executive chef for the women's sports bar she opened. The candidate had only applied for the sous chef position, doubting her ability to lead. Molly recognized her potential and took a chance on her. With Molly's encouragement, the new chef rose to meet the challenge and excelled in her role. This example perfectly illustrates Molly's commitment to empowering others by believing in their abilities and investing in their growth.Tips for Developing this Superpower:Take chances on others by recognizing their potential, even if they doubt themselves.Offer encouragement and affirmation to help people overcome self-doubt and unlock their confidence.Connect with diverse communities and create inclusive environments that support mutual growth.Build a supportive network of peers who can share experiences and provide feedback.By following Molly's example and advice, you can make empowering others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

"If you're not willing to fail, you won't have the emotional capacity to watch your children fail." In this episode, Heather digs into the very uncomfortable reality that many women are overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating in ways that steal their children's ability to become motivated and productive adults. This conversation dives into the delicate balance between nurturing and enabling, guiding and rescuing, and the courage it takes to hold your boundaries when every impulse tells you to step in. At its heart, this episode is about alignment, not as a nice idea, but as a daily practice of telling the truth, trusting yourself, and feeding your own soul so you can show up as a whole, inspired adult. Because when you stop overcompensating, overproducing, and overmothering, you create space for your children to develop the resilience, motivation, and independence they're supposed to build for themselves. What to listen for: ☑️ The game of alignment means opening whatever door you're currently resisting ☑️ Navigating the fear that your child won't become a productive member of society ☑️ Why, if you're not holding boundaries, your life often becomes absolute chaos "I guarantee you have been overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating to avoid feeling something. And that overproducing is taking away from your children's ability to be motivated." ☑️ How your body does what's needed to help your create balance and alignment ☑️ If you're always rescuing your children, they can't learn to take care of themselves ☑️ When you feel whole, you're not dependent on anyone else to give you value "It takes so much discernment, self-trust, and inner guidance to know when to literally go in and rescue and guide them, versus when you need to back off and hold a boundary." ☑️ Stop doing things from a place of task management rather than soul alignment ☑️ Learning to feed your soul allows you to learn the lessons your children need ☑️ Why we overcompensate when we realize we can't rescue other people "This is the beauty of women. We are so strong, so nurturing. But the kryptonite of that is we can take away from other people gaining independence, and they become too codependent or interdependent." ☑️ Your kids aren't growing up to be lazy; you've just been doing too much for them ☑️ Who are you if your kids are independent enough not to need you as much? ☑️ When you feed your soul, you become a motivated, inspired, alive adult *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

A lot of teams hit January with energy and end Q2 running on fumes. In this Office Hours episode, Danny opens the doors to Optidge's internal playbook with Operations Director Kelly A. Garcia and Head of People Operations Lauren Friedman.

Building a life in the secret place with our Father is a question of the heart. When we practice spiritual disciplines like prayer, fasting, bible study or soaking prayer, it is never to change God or earning a more favoured identity in His eyes. It is all about us being transformed so that we can abide in the love of Christ and live out of our identity as our Father´s beloved children.

If you keep waiting to feel motivated before you work out, start the routine, send the email, clean the house, post the content, or follow through on the thing you said you wanted, this episode is for you. In this episode, Allie breaks down why motivation never lasts, why waiting to "feel like it" keeps you stuck in the start-stop cycle, and why everything you want is on the other side of boring consistency. This is not about forcing yourself, ignoring your body, or pushing through burnout. It's about understanding the difference between real rest and avoidance, self-leadership and mood-led living, and why consistency cannot depend on a temporary feeling. You'll learn why motivation is fleeting, why your brain keeps returning to familiar patterns, why boring consistency builds self-trust, and how small, imperfect action creates identity evidence. If you struggle with staying consistent, following through, all-or-nothing thinking, procrastination, self-sabotage, or waiting until you feel ready, this episode will help you stop handing your future to your mood. And if you're ready to stop starting over and become the woman who actually follows through, come to Allie's free live class Tuesday at 11am PT: Stop Starting Over: The 5 Steps to Becoming the Woman Who Follows Through alliecasazza.com/stopstartingover

www.michaelbasham.com Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. 2 For by [faith—[b]trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. 4 [Prompted, actuated] by faith Abel brought God a better and more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, because of which it was testified of him that he was righteous [that he was upright and in right standing with God], and God bore witness by accepting and acknowledging his gifts. And though he died, yet [through the incident] he is still speaking. 5 Because of faith Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony [still on record] that he had pleased and been satisfactory to God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]. 7 [Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this [his faith which relied on God] he passed judgment and sentence on the world's unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness ([c]that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith). 8 [Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go. 9 [Prompted] by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise [of God, though he was like a stranger] in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was [waiting expectantly and confidently] looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God. 11 Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word. 12 So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, there have sprung descendants whose number is as the stars of heaven and as countless as the innumerable sands on the seashore. 13 These people all died controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of [God's] promises, only having seen it and greeted it from a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the earth. 14 Now those people who talk as they did show plainly that they are in search of a fatherland (their own country). 15 If they had been thinking with [homesick] remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have found constant opportunity to return to it. 16 But the truth is that they were yearning for and aspiring to a better and more desirable country, that is, a heavenly [one]. For that reason God is not ashamed to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob], for He has prepared a city for them. 17 By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test [while the testing of his faith was [d]still in progress], [e]had already brought Isaac for an offering; he who had gladly received and welcomed [God's] promises was ready to sacrifice his only son, 18 Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be reckoned. 19 For he reasoned that God was able to raise [him] up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively dead [potentially sacrificed], he did [actually] receive him back from the dead. 20 [With eyes of] faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau. 21 [Prompted] by faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons and bowed in prayer over the top of his staff. 22 [Actuated] by faith Joseph, when nearing the end of his life, referred to [the promise of God for] the departure of the Israelites out of Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his own bones. 23 [Prompted] by faith Moses, after his birth, was kept concealed for three months by his parents, because they saw how comely the child was; and they were not overawed and terrified by the king's decree. 24 [Aroused] by faith Moses, when he had grown to maturity and [f]become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 Because he preferred to share the oppression [suffer the hardships] and bear the shame of the people of God rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life. 26 He considered the contempt and abuse and shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense). 27 [Motivated] by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible. 28 By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood [on the doorposts], so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those [of the children of Israel]. 29 [Urged on] by faith the people crossed the Red Sea as [though] on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up [by the sea]. 30 Because of faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days [by the Israelites]. 31 [Prompted] by faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace [without enmity]. 32 And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 Who by [the help of] faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, 34 Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. 35 [Some] women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured [g]to death with clubs, refusing to accept release [offered on the terms of denying their faith], so that they might be resurrected to a better life. 36 Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers [to renounce their faith]; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; [while they were alive] they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated— 38 [Men] of whom the world was not worthy—roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and [living] in caves and caverns and holes of the earth. 39 And all of these, though they won divine approval by [means of] their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, 40 Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them].
Today I'm joined by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys — trail runner, activist, speaker, author, and founder of Black Trail Runners. Sabrina shares her incredible journey from initially turning to running as a way to cope with post-natal depression, to going on to complete some of the world's toughest endurance events — including the Marathon des Sables across the Sahara Desert, the brutal 268-mile Spine Race, the 100k Ultra-Trail Snowdonia, and countless other extraordinary adventures. But this conversation goes far beyond performance and finish lines. We explore how running first became a form of freedom and escape from difficult thoughts, before discussing how modern running culture can sometimes lose sight of that — becoming overly focused on pace, PBs, Strava statistics, body image, comparison, and constant optimisation. Sabrina speaks beautifully about how trail running allowed her to reconnect with the true essence of movement again: nature, exploration, playfulness, community, presence, and joy. The conversation also explores the racism Sabrina has experienced and how it fuelled her activism. Motivated by her lived experiences and a desire to create change, she founded Black Trail Runners in 2020 to increase inclusion, representation, safety, and accessibility within trail running and the outdoors. This episode is about far more than running. It's about belonging, resilience, identity, healing, community, and reclaiming joy through movement.

The Denver fix and flip market 2026 is producing a strange combination. Strong showing activity and soft offer volume. One Arvada property sat through 57 showings in 44 days. The deal that finally came in fell apart when the buyer’s grandmother refused to release the down payment. That’s the market Derek Marlin is navigating right now. Derek Marlin founded Elevation in 2014. The company does fix and flips, wholesaling, fee-based project management, and runs a brokerage team at eXp. He also runs the Elevation Academy and the Broadway Collective, a Denver co-work space that recently hit 100% occupancy. His team runs 3 company flips at a time and operates at roughly 85% off-market acquisition volume. In this conversation, Derek Marlin and Chris break down the Denver fix and flip market 2026 from the ground up. Motivated sellers are still anchored to 2021 valuations. Carrying costs add up fast when deals drag 6 weeks longer than planned. Derek also walks through his 4-offer model. It gives sellers a cash offer, a fix-in option, a fee-based consulting path, or a partnership flip. The partnership flip now requires putting the seller on title in an LLC before Elevation funds the rehab. That change came after too many sellers changed their minds mid-project. In this episode we cover: Why 57 showings in 44 days produced almost no offers and what Derek Marlin thinks that signals about buyer behavior in the Denver fix and flip market right now The Arvada flip case study at 8506 Union Circle, $60K rehab, listed at $725K, 57 showings, one terminated contract, and a final sale near $700K How a grandmother ended a $719K deal 3 days after inspection by refusing to release the down payment funds The 4-offer model Elevation uses with every seller, and why the partnership flip structure now requires LLC title transfer before any rehab capital goes in Why Derek Marlin is running 85% off-market and what ratio he actually wants to hit The tear gas house case study, a SWAT-raided Centennial property taken to studs, $405K in rehab, sold near $1.4M, with the client clearing $181K in 6 months What Elevation Academy covers in a full day and what the $997 includes Derek Marlin’s outlook on the Denver fix and flip market, optimistic long-term, defensive on underwriting right now Derek Marlin’s direct, data-grounded take on current conditions is the kind of real-time Colorado flip intel you won’t find anywhere else.

Many systems—academic, economic, organizational—are built on the belief in rational, cooperative actors. But people often enter interactions: • Threatened by cooperation • Pre-committed to not cooperating • Motivated to harm systems they view as unjust, even at personal costThis isn't just “bad behavior.” It's the norm that too many theories write off as “noise.”

Send us Fan MailHave you been "about to start exercising" for longer than you'd like to admit? You're not lazy — you're human. And that's exactly the problem this episode solves.In Part 1 of this two-part series, we're ditching the motivation myth and replacing it with something that actually works: a simple, research-backed system that takes the decision-making out of exercise entirely. Because the hardest part of working out isn't doing it — it's deciding whether to do it.We're covering three practical strategies: how to track your movement so your brain stays in the game, how to pre-decide your "when and where" so you stop negotiating with yourself at the worst possible moment, and how to set up your environment so starting feels almost effortless.No gym membership required. No perfect schedule. Just a system your brain can actually follow.Don't miss Part 2 next week — that's where we talk about how to make your brain WANT to come back to exercise again and again.

If you've been waiting for the right time, the right season, the right level of motivation to finally get started — this episode is going to change how you think about all of that. Because here's what I've found working with moms: motivation isn't supposed to come first. And if you've been waiting for it to show up before you take action, you've had it backwards. Today I'm breaking down why that is, what's actually going on underneath the pattern, and what to actually do about it.

We all have it, but to fix it, you have to fully understand what is going on so that you stop blaming yourself.

Plus, I am sharing ways to actually fix it so that you stay consistent and finally see success! ‼️This episode is a MUST for someone who feels like she's always on again-off again in her health efforts. Because by the end of this one you are going to understand yourself in a way you never have before… and that will change everything.

In this episode we are diving into a side of healthcare most people never see… yet it impacts every patient, every provider, and every outcome. Because while hospitals are filled with world-class clinicians and life-saving technology, many of the systems supporting them are still surprisingly fragmented, inefficient, and—at times—unreliable. My guest is Sam Yeruva and in2wq this conversation, we explore what it really means to build a “smart hospital,” why efficiency is not just a business metric but a patient safety issue, and how practical, real-world AI is already helping hospitals recover time, reduce burnout, and improve care. We also talk about the hidden waste inside healthcare systems, the silent drivers of clinician burnout, and how reimagining workflows could allow doctors and nurses to truly operate at the top of their license. This is a powerful look at how fixing systems can ultimately save lives—and why the future of healthcare may depend just as much on operational intelligence as it does on clinical excellence. Srikar “Sam” Yeruva is the Founder and CEO of Pycube, Inc., a company transforming the way hospitals operate behind the scenes. With a background in electrical and computer engineering and training from Harvard Business School, his decade working inside hospitals revealed a systemic problem. While clinical care is world-class, operations are often unpredictable. Motivated by a personal experience where critical biopsy samples were lost for 10 days, Sam launched Pycube to bring true operational intelligence to healthcare. Today, Pycube helps hospitals track assets and supplies in real time—saving caregivers hours and unlocking millions in recovered efficiency.

Experts on extremism say the teenagers who opened fire and killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego were motivated by far-right conspiracies and white supremacist networks.Their manifesto includes hateful rhetoric towards Muslims, Jewish people, Black people, the LGBTQ+ community, and women.They also promoted symbols long associated with white supremacists and Nazis. The shooting is the latest in a pattern of violent, right-wing extremism in the United States.On Midday Edition, we unpack some of the ideologies that motivated suspects and what the violence says about the state of extremism in the U.S. We also talk about how journalists should report on the tragedy in a thoughtful way.Guest:Andrew Dyer military and veterans affairs reporter, KPBS

She was fighting hard behind closed doors to protect every person who reported to her. And in every team meeting, she said the same thing, with all the conviction she could find: everything is going to be fine.She meant it as protection. Her team heard something else entirely.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton shares what happens when high-performing women leaders try to shield their teams from uncertainty by offering reassurance they cannot guarantee, and the one communication shift that rebuilds trust and refocuses a team in the middle of a shaky moment.What You Will LearnWhy premature reassurance, even when it comes from a place of care, creates distance with the high-performing team members you most want to keep engaged.The difference between managing your team's emotions and respecting their intelligence, and why one builds trust while the other quietly erodes it.A simple two-part communication move you can use in your next team meeting to name uncertainty directly and anchor your team in what they can own.Your Action StepBefore your next team meeting, write down three things: what you know, what you are still working to find out, and one priority your team can own right now.

What if everything you've gone through in life — the chaos, the loss, the addiction, the grief — was the exact preparation you needed to save someone else's life?Dan Flanagan grew up surrounded by strong values of integrity, hard work, and loyalty, anchored in the rhythm of small-town Ohio life and Catholic faith. His childhood had a kind of Norman Rockwell quality to it — a baseball field in the backyard, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, his mom ringing a bell to call the kids in for dinner. But underneath that idyllic surface, something harder was brewing.Dan's dad, his hero, his best coach, was secretly battling severe clinical depression. When Dan was 15, his dad went away to a psychiatric unit an hour from home to undergo treatment and was gone for over a year. His mom held down the fort working 12-hour days.The sudden loss of his parental anchor left Dan and his siblings with too much freedom, few role models, and an onslaught of confusion and pain. He went off the rails. Started drinking, making bad choices, falling in with the wrong crowd.The darkness in his family didn't stop with his dad. His brother Sean also developed mental illness in college and attempted suicide more than once.Dan managed to earn a degree and build a sales career out of sheer determination and grit, the unresolved trauma and anger simmered beneath the surface. He masked his struggles with alcohol and bravado, insisting that everything was “fine,” when he was far from it.The turning point came on May 6th, 2019, when he finally said enough. He enrolled himself in an intensive outpatient program at the Cleveland Clinic, started showing up at the gym at 4:45 AM, and began listening obsessively to Eric Thomas, Tony Robbins, Jocko Willink, and David Goggins — anyone who had built something from nothing and come out the other side.About a year into his sobriety, he was listening to a Jocko podcast and heard about Dr. Daniel Amen, a world-renowned psychiatrist who developed brain SPECT imaging, a tool that shows what's happening in a living brain rather than just guessing. Dan ordered the book “The End of Mental Illness” before he even got home. And sitting on his couch that Saturday, something cracked open. He describes it as a spiritual moment, followed by a question that felt like it came from somewhere bigger than him: what if all of this was the preparation?Motivated to make a difference, Dan leveraged his story and his sister's expertise to launch the Brain Enrichment Initiative, a peer-to-peer mentoring and mental wellness program for students. Rooted in authenticity and vulnerability, the program aims to help young people break the silence around emotions, teaching them proactive brain health strategies and creating space for real connection.The urgency behind BEI is very real to Dan. He is out there doing the work every single day — for his family, for those kids, and for every version of himself that didn't have someone showing up to say: your brain can get better, and so can you.Hype Song: Dan's hype song is Zach William's “Survivor” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R4tdF2s42w Resources: Dan Flanagan's website www.bei-neo.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-flanagan-a4934850/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dqflanagan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dqflan/ 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 you've got annual all-hands and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal/private podcasts. To bring leadership and employees together through authentic stories, real conversations, and meaningful connections. Think of it as your old-school printed company newsletter - reinvented for the modern workforce.
