Okay, so this week on Literally, Not OK, I'm joined by my twin flame, TikTok queen, and Cubiza founder herself—Ashlynn Neumayer . We're talking all about how she went from corporate cubicle tears to FULL-TIME CONTENT BADDIE (hello, viral DJ sets in the office??), her tragic love life (relatable), and why Dallas dating is literally a horror movie.Ashlynn is funny, real AF, and we both overshare like it's our job (well... it kinda is).

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano is joined by CUNY Professor Jeffrey Lax for a candid and wide-ranging discussion on the radical transformation of the Democratic Party, the growing influence of political extremism, and the consequences for American society. They examine the rise of figures like Mamdani in New York City politics, the erosion of moderating voices, and the dangers of mayor-elect Mamdani's threat to prioritize international law over U.S. sovereignty. The conversation also tackles controversial topics such as Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who identifies as "Somali first," the media's complicity in normalizing extremist views, and why both the left and the right are struggling with radical factions. This episode is a sharp analysis of the current state of politics in America and what happens if radicalism continues to go unchallenged. Episode Highlights How the Democratic Party's leftward shift has sidelined moderates and reshaped American politics Why figures like Mamdani raise serious concerns not just for New York City but nationwide The media's role in amplifying extremist voices and the urgent need for critical political engagement

As we wrap up 2025 and start dreaming about our goals for the New Year, this week's guest, ultracyclist Paula Ralph, has one simple message: Just go for it. We often wait until we're 100% ready—which usually means we never start. But whether you succeed or fall short, you'll be better for having tried. Paula knows this firsthand. She set out to break a world record riding solo from Cape Town, South Africa to Nordkapp, Norway. Sponsors pulled out. Mechanical issues piled up. She got heat stroke…and hit by a truck. Safety concerns forced reroutes. The record slipped away. But she didn't stop. She kept going—ultimately riding 12,290 km across 17 countries in 126 days. And what she gained was far bigger than a record: proof that she's stronger than she ever imagined, and a reminder of what midlife women can do when we dare to go big.Paula Ralph is a solo endurance cyclist who rode unsupported from Cape Town to Nordkapp, Norway — a 12,290 km journey across 17 countries in just 126 days. What began as a world record attempt quickly turned into a raw test of resilience. Navigating relentless challenges, both on and off the bike, Paula had to let go of the record and hold on to something more powerful — the will to keep going. Her journey is one of survival, courage, and what it means to find freedom at the edge of your comfort zone. She was recently named a "sporting hero" as one of the top 100 female cyclists by CyclingUK. You can learn more about her and her mission @thelongrideglobal on Instagram.

Jay and Ashley are back nearly 200 episodes after their first appearance, and they don't sugarcoat what the last few years have looked like: raising a big family, trying to run a business together, and realizing how fast “life stuff” can spill into “work stuff.”They get real about what's working right now in the market—Zillow Preferred leads, staying in front of past clients, and being consistent even when motivation is nowhere to be found.Then the conversation pivots into mentorship and networking: how asking for a simple coffee (or cigar) can change your entire trajectory, plus a “failing forward” segment that turns a painful multifamily experience into a legit lesson. They wrap with what it all comes back to: family support, unconditional love, and building something that lasts.Check out the show and more episodes at @REIARadioThis episode is sponsored by Entrepreneur Addict — get started at entrepreneuraddict.com/REIA.Where to find Jay & AshleyInstagram: Ashley Jackson WellsFacebook: jcapelYou can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

What Cynthia's Drinking: Freixenet Zero Brut (non-alcoholic sparkling wine) What Jessica's Drinking: 2023 Chenin Blanc from Encanto Vineyards (Lake County) This week on Wine & Chisme, we sit down with Cynthia Prato- Army veteran, author, and certified life coach, for one of our most powerful conversations yet. Cynthia opens up about enlisting in the National Guard on a dare, becoming a military interrogator, and being one of the only women in her unit. She shares her experiences with military sexual trauma (MST), the PTSD she carried silently for years, and the moment she realized her unhealed trauma was affecting her son. From growing up as a Mexi-Nica in Miami to serving in Hungary during post-9/11 tensions, Cynthia's journey is raw, real, and ultimately redemptive. We talk about: ✨ Being the first Latina woman in her family to serve ✨ Navigating relationships while carrying unprocessed trauma ✨ The decision to stop drinking and start healing ✨ Setting boundaries with family ✨ Why self-care doesn't require a spa day ✨ How to find your purpose when life doesn't go as planned This conversation gets deep, but it's also filled with hope, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Cynthia reminds us that healing isn't linear, it's never too late to choose yourself, and whatever you're not changing, you're choosing.

Why do the same moments bring one person joy and another person pain? And how can we stop letting those differences destroy our relationships?In this powerful episode, Glenn, Phyllis, and Tera unpack a transformative truth: we all enter the same situations with completely different backstories, and those differences create conflict faster than anything else—especially during the holidays.Tera shares a vulnerable story about feeling hurt by Glenn's teasing, only to discover they have polar opposite beliefs about what jokes mean. Glenn grew up believing you only joke about things that aren't true, while Tera learned that every joke contains truth. Same behavior. Completely different experiences.Glenn and Phyllis walk through real-life examples—from music preferences to days off—showing how our childhood experiences shape what brings us joy or pain today. They share practical tools for conveying your experience without attacking your partner, and how to create curiosity instead of conflict.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the holidays amplify relational disconnection (and how to navigate family gatherings without losing yourself)The simple phrase that stops emotional flooding before it creates an "emotional dam"How one couple discovered why the husband's day off was his most dysregulated day of the weekWhy saying "I felt hurt" is completely different than "that hurt me"The secret to making space for both people's experiences without anyone being "wrong"How to recognize when you're losing your identity and what to do about itFeatured Story: A client discovers his day off triggers fear because he doesn't know his worth outside of work—and the powerful moment when he finds himself through the Core Emotion Wheel.This episode will transform how you approach conflict, whether it's with your spouse, your kids, your coworkers, or your extended family.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Stuart Thompson, President of ABB's Electrification Service Division, to explore the intersection of industrial sustainability, energy security, and cutting-edge technology.   As industries face growing energy demands and climate targets, Stuart explains how companies can modernize their infrastructure to drive efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and stay ahead of the energy curve.   Navigating the Industrial Sustainability Challenge   We start by addressing the urgent need for industries to rethink their energy and carbon strategies. Stuart highlights the significant role of construction and manufacturing in global energy-related emissions, stressing that many businesses are still behind on their 2030 sustainability targets.   We dive into the emerging shift from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx) models, such as predictive maintenance, to maximize value from existing assets.   Asset Modernization   Stuart explains how asset modernization—upgrading intelligent components like switchgear within existing infrastructure—can dramatically improve efficiency and reduce carbon without the need for costly, full-scale replacements.   He also shares examples, including Intel's semiconductor upgrades and Jadal Steel's success in Oman, demonstrating how targeted upgrades can meet sustainability goals while boosting productivity.   Smarter Energy Management with AI and AR   We explore how AI and augmented reality (AR) are transforming service delivery and operational intelligence. Stuart discusses how AI-powered predictive maintenance helps companies anticipate failures and optimize energy management, while AR facilitates remote assistance for faster issue resolution.   He also touches on how these technologies contribute to energy savings and carbon reduction by automating service reports and enabling real-time visibility into asset performance.   BESS as a Service: Solving the Energy Security Trilemma One of the key innovations Stuart highlights is ABB's Battery Energy Storage as a Service (BESSaaS), a solution designed to solve the "energy trilemma" of security, cost, and sustainability.   With on-site battery storage and AI-driven energy trading, businesses can bypass slow grid connections, ensure energy security, and even turn their energy storage into a profit center. This model is already making waves in industries ranging from data centers to manufacturing.   A Glimpse into the Future: ABB's Investment in Asset Management Tech   As we look to the future, Stuart reveals ABB's upcoming investment in asset management technology, set to be announced globally in early December 2025. This exciting move will have a significant impact on major customers like the London Underground and Saudi Electric Commission, further cementing ABB's role as a leader in energy innovation.   Don't miss this episode, where we discuss the latest trends in industrial sustainability, energy security, and technology's pivotal role in shaping a greener, more efficient future.   Useful Links Connect with Stuart on Linkedin Learn more about ABB Tech Talks Daily is sponsored by Denodo

Episode #1071 If you've ever wondered whether your wife is comparing you to other men, coworkers, friends' husbands, or even her dad, you're not crazy. She probably is. And while it's uncomfortable to think about, it doesn't mean she's a bad partner. It usually means she's hurting, disconnected, or missing something that used to be there. In this episode, Doug and Erin break down exactly why these comparisons happen, what they actually mean, and how to shift the dynamic without playing the blame game. Erin shares the raw truth about how women experience disconnection and why bitterness and criticism are often just cover-ups for sadness and longing. Doug opens up about the patterns he's seen in men who unknowingly slip into the nice guy trap, and what it takes to rebuild trust, respect, and attraction without begging or forcing conversations that go nowhere. If you're feeling like something's off but can't quite name it, this episode will help you see it clearly. Sometimes the issue isn't that she's changed, it's that you've lost connection with yourself. And when that happens, she feels it. Your energy matters more than you think, and when you're checked out, she checks out too. The good news is, there's a way to turn this around that doesn't involve chasing or convincing her to talk.

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Kelly Kessler explore the concept of self-respect and the fawning response, discussing how it manifests in relationships and personal dynamics. They delve into the importance of understanding the nervous system, the impact of grief on personal growth, and the necessity of setting boundaries. The discussion also touches on the pressures of holiday expectations, the challenge of asking for help, and the journey towards internal validation. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of choosing oneself and cultivating a supportive community. Takeaways Self-respect is crucial for personal growth. Fawning is a response to external pressures and expectations. Understanding the nervous system is key to healing. Self-abandonment can lead to unhealthy relationships. Grief can catalyze significant personal change. Choosing yourself often means setting boundaries. The holiday season can amplify feelings of stress and obligation. Asking for help is a vital skill to develop. Recognizing patterns of behavior is essential for change. Internal validation is more important than external approval. Sound bites "I was completely abandoning myself." "You are allowed to prioritize your peace." "Your energy is worth something."

In this lively and unfiltered gathering, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by her beloved "Meno Besties," hormone specialist Karen Martel and longevity expert Zora Benhamou. This is a candid conversation between three leading voices who've been in the menopause advocacy space long before it was trending. They tackle the frustrating realities women still face, from doctors dismissing requests for hormone testing to the enduring stigma around the word "menopause" itself. The discussion delves into the critical need for education and self-advocacy, emphasizing that despite increased awareness, a shockingly low percentage of women are actually on hormone therapy. Fiona, Karen, and Zora break down the early, subtle signs of perimenopause that often go unrecognized and explain the rollercoaster of "wonky periods." They also provide crucial insights into the practicalities of hormone therapy, addressing why some women don't feel better initially, the importance of dosage adjustments, and why partnering closely with your prescriber is non-negotiable. The conversation takes a fascinating turn into how past trauma and nervous system health may influence one's response to HRT, highlighting the profound mind-body connection during this transition. This episode is a masterclass in navigating midlife health with clarity, humor, and the supportive solidarity of friends who truly get it.

In this episode, I'm sharing something that's been very alive for me over the past few months. It's been a season of stretch, challenge, and pressure. The kind that asks you to slow down instead of push harder. The kind that exposes how busy the mind can be, how reactive we can become without realizing it, and how easily we lose touch with stillness in the middle of full lives and growing responsibilities. I talk about why stillness isn't passive, soft, or unproductive but a real leadership skill. One that allows clarity, intuition, and grounded decision-making to come online, especially when you're building something meaningful. I also share personally about the last four-ish months of my life. Navigating family transitions, grief, responsibility, and the internal recalibration that happens when the external world keeps asking more of you. This episode is honest, embodied, and real. At a certain level, the work isn't about doing more or fixing yourself. It's about noticing what you've outgrown, learning how to pause instead of react, and recognizing that the very season you're in may be the one that's building what you've been praying for. If you're craving more clarity, more truth, and a deeper way of leading in your life or your business, drop in.

Analyst firm Forrester has projected that AI-native cloud solutions could generate $20 billion in revenue by 2026, significantly reshaping enterprise IT operations. However, the transition to these solutions raises concerns about governance gaps that could lead to outages. Organizations are increasingly redesigning their systems across various sectors, including education and infrastructure financing, to manage the risks associated with AI. This shift is underscored by a recent Gallup poll indicating that 45% of U.S. employees are using AI at work, reflecting a growing reliance on AI tools for operational efficiency.The term "SLOP" has been designated as Merriam-Webster's 2025 Word of the Year, highlighting the cultural implications of AI's integration into daily communication. This term encapsulates the challenges of quality control in AI outputs, as the rapid scaling of AI tools often outpaces human judgment. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are urged to focus on helping clients discern which AI outputs are reliable and which require scrutiny, emphasizing the need for quality control over mere automation.In the education sector, a notable trend is the adoption of oral exams to assess student learning, ensuring evaluations reflect genuine understanding rather than reliance on AI-generated content. Additionally, major tech companies like Microsoft and Google are adopting innovative financing strategies, such as short-term leasing agreements for computing power, to mitigate financial risks associated with AI infrastructure investments. These strategies allow companies to scale their AI capabilities while maintaining flexibility in their financial commitments.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the evolving landscape of AI presents both challenges and opportunities. The emphasis on governance and quality control in AI tools indicates a shift in how organizations will approach AI adoption, necessitating new validation steps and risk models. MSPs can leverage this moment by providing guidance on AI evaluation and compliance, ensuring that clients can navigate the complexities of AI integration while minimizing potential liabilities. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Adoption Surges as Forrester, Gallup, and Merriam-Webster Signal a Quality Problem04:40 -Education and Big Tech Respond to AI by Reworking Assessment and Risk Models07:13 OMB Uses Procurement Power to Set Federal Standards for Truthful, Unbiased AI Tools09:11 Disney Sets AI Rules:  This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

In this podcast episode, Kyle welcomes David Nurse, a renowned mental coach who has worked with elite athletes, particularly in the NBA. David talks about his experiences and the track record that sets him apart in the realm of life and mental coaching. The conversation transitions to various topics, including the importance of managing negative self-talk, and how it impacts both athletic performance and daily life. David shares insights into finding simplicity on the far side of complexity, explaining that top performers often achieve mastery by returning to basics and practicing with intention.

David dives into a scientific study he conducted to train individuals to enter flow state through a series of techniques including meta-visualization, autogenic mind-muscle connection, bilateral tapping, cross crawl disorganization, and neuro-connecting. The discussion also covers the significance of having a healthy relationship with failure and the importance of pursuing passions with purpose.

Many Christians are also successful business people, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the corporate world. A good portion of these people steward their gifts and influence within their communities to advance the mission of Christ through their work.Navigating business ownership can be overwhelming, and without a clear foundation many believers simply adopt the patterns and the philosophies of the world around them. Today's conversation is about recovering a distinctly biblical way of building a business, one rooted in wisdom, integrity, stewardship, and the character of God himself. Whether you're running a small side hustle or leading a growing company, Scripture offers practical principles that speak directly to leadership, culture, planning, and the everyday decisions that shape a business. To help us unpack all of this, we are joined by Eric Phillips, who serves as the praise and worship pastor at Midtown Baptist Temple and has spent years working in the secular business world in sales strategy and leadership. He is here to discuss his new book, Building Business Biblically, and to help us think wisely about what it means to build a business that honors Christ.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/books to purchase Building Business Biblically by Eric PhillipsVisit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

How Delta, Starbucks, and others earned their spot on the Nice list through clarity, consistency, and smart leadership. Why edgy brand moves succeed or fail depending on strategy and self-awareness.

Global IT spending is projected to reach its highest level in 30 years, driven primarily by investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services. According to a report from the International Data Corporation, spending on hardware, software, and IT services is expected to rise by 14%, marking the fastest growth rate since 1996. However, the benefits of this spending surge are not being realized by Managed Service Providers (MSPs), as hyperscalers dominate the market by building extensive AI infrastructure and integrated platforms. This shift in control raises questions about the future value proposition for MSPs, who may find themselves increasingly marginalized.Small businesses are experiencing hiring challenges despite a reported increase in job growth plans. The National Federation of Independent Business Jobs report indicates that 33% of small business owners have unfilled job openings, with 19% planning to create new jobs in the next three months. However, 56% of these businesses attempted to hire in November, with half citing a lack of suitable candidates. Compounding this issue, federal statistical agencies are facing significant staffing and budget cuts, leading to a decline in the availability of reliable economic data. This erosion of data could hinder small businesses' ability to make informed hiring and investment decisions.In a notable leadership change, Jim Siders has been appointed CEO of Shield Technology Partners, an IT services platform focused on integrating AI with operational expertise. Siders aims to enhance service delivery through AI innovations, positioning Shield as a vital resource for businesses in sectors like construction and healthcare. This move reflects a broader trend of IT services being restructured as AI-driven platforms rather than traditional roll-ups, emphasizing the importance of operational discipline and clean data in leveraging AI effectively.The episode highlights a concerning trend in corporate spending on AI, where companies allocate 93% of their budgets to technology and only 7% to the people who will utilize it. This imbalance can lead to a decline in trust among employees and an increase in the use of unapproved AI tools, complicating compliance and operational efficiency. For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the necessity to shift focus from merely adopting technology to fostering a disciplined approach to AI integration, emphasizing governance, workflow redesign, and clear decision-making boundaries to ensure that clients can navigate the complexities of AI effectively. Four things to know today00:00 Global IT Spending Hits 30-Year High as AI and Cloud Investments Accelerate, IDC Reports05:24 Small Businesses Plan More Hiring but Still Can't Find Qualified Workers, NFIB Reports08:33 Shield Names Former Palantir CIO Jim Siders CEO as It Builds an AI-First IT Services Platform With OpenAI and Thrive11:19 Deloitte: Lopsided AI Spending, Declining Trust, and Shadow AI Signal a Growing Management Failure This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/
