Send us a textBernerd Garsen's journey to becoming one of golf's most innovative grip designers reads like a Hollywood script. After racing motocross professionally and suffering career-ending injuries, a chance encounter led him to an eight-year modeling career across Europe and South Africa. It was during this time that his passion for golf reignited, eventually leading him to create Garsen Grips – a company now boasting over 85 professional tour wins, including Olympic gold, silver, and bronze medals.The creation of his first grip came from pure necessity while working as a golf instructor. Noticing how students struggled with conventional grips when attempting to position their hands properly, Garsen cut apart three existing grips and glued them together with shoe glue to create his first prototype. This DIY approach led to his patented Edge Grip design, featuring edges for optimal thumb placement that puts the hands in a more neutral position.What truly sets Garsen apart in the equipment industry is his commitment to performance over marketing hype. Unlike larger competitors who pay players, coaches, and even offer luxury watches as incentives, Garsen has earned every one of his tour wins organically. Players like Henrik Stenson (British Open), Tony Finau, and Lydia Ko (Olympic gold) choose his grips purely for performance. This authenticity hasn't come without challenges – Bernerd candidly describes competitors attempting to copy his designs, spreading rumors about his company failing, and even trying to interfere with his manufacturing relationships.The market has validated his approach. Beyond his impressive tour statistics, Garsen now partners with major manufacturers and boutique putter companies for custom co-branded grips. His technical innovations have expanded from the original Edge Grip to the popular Max Grip, Quad Tour, and specialized designs explicitly created for top players like Lydia Ko's custom 15-inch Quad that helped her win three consecutive tournaments.Bernerd's story is one of perseverance, innovation, and staying true to his belief that genuine performance trumps marketing dollars. For anyone looking to improve their putting through technology that actually works rather than just looks different, Garsen Grips represents what's possible when passion meets purpose in the golf equipment world.Website: https://garsengolf.com/Instagram: httpsSpecial thank goes out to our show sponsor:

You're Not Stuck. You're Just Asleep. In this episode: Why I treat books like cheat codes for life (and why this one's at the top of my stack) The Mark Twain quote that calls out “willful ignorance” in all of us What makes Anthony de Mello's writing hit different—direct, a little uncomfortable, always clarifying The realization that you don't have to believe every thought you think (and why that's a game changer) 4 Big Ideas from The Way to Love “What makes you happy or unhappy is not the world and the people around you, but the thinking in your head.” Happiness isn't out there—it's in how you interpret what's already here Noticing your internal commentary is the first step to real freedom “You see persons and things not as they are but as you are…” We all see life through a cracked filter of fear, control, and expectations If you're sideways with someone, it's usually about you, not them Stop personalizing other people's behavior—own your lens “Habits must be limited to things mechanical—not to love or to sight. Who wants to be loved from habit.” Love isn't meant to run on autopilot Get in the habit of being present—with yourself, and with others Real connection comes from presence, not routine Presence builds trust, trust creates influence, and influence is how we co-create “Contemplate the walls… just observing your ideas, habits, attachments, and fears without judgment…” Most of what runs you isn't real until you feed it judgment Don't try to fix your thoughts—just watch them. Awareness melts resistance Ego and true awareness can't coexist Key Takeaways: You don't need more effort, you need more awareness Subtract the noise and you find presence (and real freedom) This book isn't about “doing”—it's about “seeing” The simplest way to change your life might just be to stop fighting and start observing Mentioned in this episode: The Way to Love by Anthony de Mello Mark Twain's wisdom on reading Connect: Instagram: @kevinkepple Facebook: @KevinKeppleCoaching

Summer is a busy time for road trips and travel on the North Shore. But data from the Department of Transportation shows that fewer people are crossing from Canada into Minnesota. This June, there were about 16 percent fewer people traveling in by car compared to last June. That's about 26,000 fewer people who came to visit our state. Earlier this year, MPR News host Angela Davis and Minnesota Now guest host Chris Farrell traveled to the Minnesota-Canada border to talk about how the U.S. tariffs on Canada have affected the relationship between the two nations. Minnesota Now is checking in on how that relationship may have slowed summer traffic into the states. John Fredrikson is an owner of the Gunflint Lodge & Outfitters in Grand Marais, and Kirsten Brune is a manager at the restaurant My Sister's Place also in Grand Marais. They spoke to Farrell about the changes they are seeing.

Noticing when our buttons get pushed, or thorns bothered as Michael A. Singer refers to them, helps us to get to the root of our personal disturbances and release them. Only if we choose to.

This week's mindful moment is all about bringing awareness to something we often overlook: transitions. From standing up to walking into the next room, or moving from one task to another, our days are filled with in-between moments that usually go unnoticed. But what if you paused—just for a breath—during those shifts? Noticing how your body feels, checking in with your breath, and consciously landing in the next moment can make your entire day feel more grounded and intentional. These small pauses become powerful anchors, helping you move through life with more ease and presence. Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.

#582 In this episode of the podcast, I take a deep dive into how comparison can seriously derail your progress and enjoyment as a photographer. Inspired by my own experiences learning new skills—like learning to juggle and nurturing my lawn—I share how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others, especially in the age of social media. I remind listeners that success in photography, or any art, isn't reserved for those who started young or have the best equipment—it's all about showing up, being consistent, and putting in the work over time.I discuss the myth of overnight success by highlighting stories of people like Morgan Freeman and Stan Lee, who found their big breaks later in life. I emphasize that wherever you are in your journey is exactly where you need to be, and it's totally normal to have doubts and setbacks. What matters most is your willingness to keep going and focus on your own growth, not what others appear to be achieving.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Perils of Comparison in Photography - Raymond explains how comparing one's progress or results to others—whether it's speed of learning (like juggling), gear, or social media metrics—can steal the joy from personal growth. He urges photographers to focus on their individual journey and celebrate each step forward.The Myth of Instant Success and the Power of Consistency - Using stories of well-known figures like Morgan Freeman and Stan Lee, Raymond underscores that it's not too late to start or improve at photography (or any art). He highlights the importance of steady effort, practice (“putting in the reps”), and embracing the “gray areas” of life and art.Setting Intentional Goals and Noticing the World - The episode shifts towards actionable advice—encouraging listeners to discover what draws them to photography, rather than chasing external validation. Raymond introduces a practical seven-day photo diary challenge, urging listeners to capture images that make them “pause and notice,” fostering mindfulness and personal vision.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSComparison Trap: The tendency to measure one's worth or progress against others, leading to dissatisfaction and doubt. Relevant throughout the episode as Raymond identifies it as a major hindrance to creative growth.Reps (Putting in the Reps): A term borrowed from training, here meaning to consistently practice taking photos. The more you shoot, the better you'll become—emphasizing process over perfection.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow has comparing your work to others affected your enjoyment of photography?What motivates you to pick up your camera—validation from others, or personal fulfillment?In what ways can you adopt more consistency in your photographic journey?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

In this episode, Neil emphasises the importance of taking a break from hosting to recharge and maintain a positive guest experience. Drawing from his own holiday in Ibiza, Neil shares three key reasons why hosts should prioritise their own time off: to restore perspective, to experience the guest journey first hand, and to observe best practices from other hospitality providers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Regularly stepping away from hosting responsibilities is essential for maintaining emotional and physical well-being. Taking a holiday helps restore perspective and prevents burnout, ultimately leading to better guest experiences. Being a guest allows hosts to evaluate their own offerings by experiencing the booking process, communication, and overall hospitality from the guest's perspective. This can lead to valuable insights and improvements in their own hosting practices. While on holiday, hosts can observe how other accommodations create memorable experiences. Noticing small touches and effective communication can inspire hosts to enhance their own guest interactions and services. BEST MOMENTS "It's so easy to get caught up with the constant cleaning, chatting, fixing, and smiling. Without breaks, it's easy to get emotionally and physically drained." "A happy host creates a happy environment, which leads to happy guests, better customer experience, and repeat bookings." "Taking a break isn't selfish; it's looking after yourself and keeps the whole show sustainable." "When you're off on a trip in the sun, take a notebook and pen, make it fun. Jot down what delights and what's not quite right." "Hosting's not about perfection; it's about evolving. Start now, get perfect later."

Eventually, Neil transitioned to Corporate Event Team Building, eventually founding his own venture in 1999. Financial challenges in 2017 are what prompted a strategic shift to Airbnb hosting, proving a reliable backup income. By 2021, Neil and his business partner triumphed over significant debt, fuelled by their resilience and the success of Neil's Airbnb venture.

In the interview, Mark and Johnny talk about: Johnny's return to this podcast (with neither of them being able to remember how many episodes he'd been on previously). Technically, this is his fourth time. Two previous episodes were interviews, and the other was Johnny's brief guest reflection spot in Episode 300 Why Johnny's new book THE ARTISAN AUTHOR is a much-anticipated and needed book in the industry A definition of what it means to be an artisan author, which is kind of the opposite of being a "rapid release, Kindle-only eBook" author The importance of taking away that stress-cycle of having to pump out so many books as a single prescription "how to do it" answer Remembering an important thing that, just like there is no single "the way" neither is being an artisan author The paradigm shift and mindset change that is required as a fundamental starting point How readers outside of the eBook/Kindle-only marketplace aren't as focused on lower price points and are okay with higher prices The reality of the publishing landscape in terms of the books being sold and money being earned The misinterpretation of the book Johnny and Sean Platt released years ago called WRITE, PUBLISH, REPEAT How there are two kinds of writers. The type who approach the business as trying to solve a puzzle and the type who approach it as a way of telling a story that they really want to share How a call of "go slow and make art" is not nearly as sexy as a "solution" The experience of driving off to meet a couple of long-term fans to sign and sell directly to them Connections and humanity being a key element of the artisan author experience The value of authentic connection, regardless of whether or not it's in person or online That powerful experience Johnny had doing one of his first major live book signing events as an author at Author Nation in Vegas and how that led to doing a lot more in person events The ability to adapt to a customer based on their reactions in person Look at it as connections, and then if sales happen . . . great! Being really generous with your time and attention Some of the logistics of doing an in person book signing A couple of unexpected and amusing anecdotes from selling books in person The Kickstarter that Johnny is doing for this book, which runs July 15 through Aug 14 (johnnybtruant.com/artisan) The additional "continuum of education" that Johnny is including in this Kickstarter (Artisan University) The importance of authors entering into things with conscious decisions rather than just blindly following the generic advice they've found And more . . .   After the interview Mark reflects on a few specific points from the discussion.   Links of Interest: Johnny B.

How often do you really take the time to enjoy the blessings in your life? It's easy to focus on what we don't have or compare our life to others. But if we're not careful, we might miss out on what's right in front of us!In this episode, Yael Eckstein turns to the Bible to unpack the powerful message that God knows how unique we are, and because of this, He gives us exactly what we need in life. Your life might look different than someone else's life, but that doesn't mean it's any less. If we trust that God always provides us with exactly what we need, we might just learn the Jewish understanding of true happiness—HaSameach b'chelko, “the one who is happy with his lot.Noticing and enjoying the blessings we already have makes life that much sweeter—and happier. Listen now!And listen to more of Yael's teachings from the Bible on her daily podcast, The Chosen People.

Let's Chat!Something shifts when you start living with intention, not for attention. It begins subtly – a barista spelling your name correctly, a colleague commenting on your calm demeanor, strangers making eye contact where they once looked away. Not because you've changed dramatically, but because something within you has settled."The Key to Everything" explores that mysterious space between who we are and who we're becoming. This transformative journey doesn't announce itself with fanfare – it arrives in quiet moments of presence. It's in how you start choosing warm light bulbs over sterile ones, glass containers over plastic, and fresh herbs over takeout. It's in saying yes to lunch invitations you once declined, standing a little taller in meetings, and feeling worthy of the space you occupy.But transformation carries its shadows too. As our protagonist discovers when unexpectedly passing the coffee shop where someone from his past worked, growth often means leaving parts of yourself behind. The perfectly ordered apartment, while beautiful, suddenly feels heavy with silence – not the sacred kind that nurtures, but the kind that buries uncomfortable truths beneath its surface.What makes this exploration so powerful is its recognition that becoming isn't about dramatic breakthroughs but about subtle adjustments where "the world begins to make room for who you're pretending not to be." The danger lies not in failure but in forgetting what the key was meant to unlock in the first place – authentic connection, vulnerability, and purpose beyond performance.Are you choosing silence over soul? Comfort over connection? Image over intimacy? Beneath the quiet perfection of our curated lives, something sacred might still be waiting to be heard. Join me in exploring what parts of your silence feel like sanctuary and which parts might simply be hiding."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Did you know OCD is like an overprotective friend—one that targets what you love most? It sounds strange, doesn't it?   In this episode of the OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova is joined by Dr. Thomas Ballas, a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and trauma. Dr. Ballas provides therapy via telehealth across 42 states and brings a practical, evidence-based perspective to the discussion.   Together, they explore the concept of theme shifting in OCD—how intrusive thoughts often jump from one obsession to another—and why ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) remains effective even as themes evolve.

What would you do if someone from your past, someone you never really knew, landed in the hospital, and you suddenly found yourself feeling... something? In this deeply personal solo episode, I unpack a message from my sister that stirred up more than just a laugh. It's a short story about complicated family ties, unexpected emotions, and the weight of what's left unsaid. Guided by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, this episode explores the quiet ache of longing, the edges of forgiveness, and the surprising power of naming what never was. “You can't miss what you never had.” Show Notes Share Your Thoughts: If this episode resonated with you: You can share your thoughts here → https://www.tamikacody.com/contact Or leave a voice message or send a text to 2O2.57O.4554 Follow or tag Tamika on Twitter: @tamikacody

This episode tackles a tricky and often painful topic—one that leaves many couples feeling stuck: how to navigate attraction after betrayal. When trust has been shattered by infidelity, even something as seemingly harmless as noticing an attractive person can feel threatening. In this conversation, Jake Porter and Karla Summey unpack the difference between noticing and objectifying, examine the influence of cultural messages around beauty and desire, and offer guidance on how transparency, communication, and self-compassion can help couples move forward. For anyone who has felt confused, triggered, or unsure how to engage these moments without causing more harm, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a path toward healing.Karla Summey is a certified coach who specializes in supporting individuals and couples in the aftermath of sexual betrayal. With a background in nursing and certifications through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), APSATS, and as a Certified Disclosure Guide Coach, she brings both clinical insight and relational wisdom to her work. Karla is especially passionate about fostering shared reality and guiding couples through the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM) and the Couple-Centered Recovery model. Her compassionate, honest, and partner-sensitive approach helps couples rebuild safety and trust in the face of deep relational wounds.APSATS.orgAPSATS.org/podcastdrjakeporter.com/breakingbarrierskarlasummey.com/This podcast is intended for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast.In today's episode, Candace opens up about a decision she made a few years ago to release the need for a permanent teaching contract—and how choosing flexibility over fear has created more alignment and freedom in her life. She reflects on the quiet strength it takes to trust that things are working out, even when the path ahead isn't perfectly clear.✨ Letting go of what feels “secure” to make space for what feels aligned

Key Takeaways:Receptivity is an intentional strength. True openness toward money, ideas, feedback, or kindness is not passive. It is an active, rewired mindset that can be shaped over time, despite early conditioning.Receptive leaders influence through presence, not pressure. Leadership rooted in listening, collaboration, and invitation creates space for growth and impact, far more than force or control ever could.The practice begins in small moments. Noticing your receiving patterns, saying "yes" more often, and learning to accept compliments are daily habits that slowly widen your capacity to receive.Receiving invites transformation. When we let go of guilt, scarcity, and the urge to constantly produce, we begin to attract support, energy, and purpose, not just in fundraising, but in life. “When you begin with receptivity, you don't just raise funds, you raise energy, you raise possibility, you raise movements.” “The secret to raising money isn't how hard you push, but how open you are to receive it.” “The leaders who raise the most money aren't the ones who shout the loudest. They're the ones who are deeply tuned in, confident in their worth, and open to support.” - Maryanne Dersch  Ask for and receive all you want, need, and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy. Learn to manage your mindset, lead yourself and others more effectively, and have the meaningful conversations that drive your most important work.

Anna Palumbo (SO/SP 9w8 937) returns for a second conversation—this time reflecting on the shifts she's experienced since our last recording. We begin with a live performance of her original song Wings for the Heart, a piece that emerged in the wake of personal rupture and now stands as both witness and balm. What follows is a layered exploration of emotional fragmentation, the disorienting effects of internal and external turbulence, and the slow, deliberate work of reweaving oneself from the inside out. Anna speaks candidly about a transformative road trip with her family that cracked something open—making space for parts of herself she'd long kept at bay. We discuss the cost of emotional suppression, the subtle tensions in relational dynamics, and the grounded power that comes from living with greater authenticity. What emerges is the portrait of a Nine learning to inhabit her full aliveness, not by transcending conflict but by letting all the pieces have a seat at the table.

How well do you know your breath?Have you ever REALLY studied it with wonder and awe?That's what we're going to do today.So settle in and prepare to observe your experience of breathing with mindful curiosity.Join me for weekly mindfulness!In addition to Monday Mindful Moments, I also host a mindfulness group called Mindful Creators every Wednesday on Zoom. The practices are recorded and emailed out the same day, so even if you can't make it live, you can still enjoy some guided mindfulness.Audio TranscriptionWelcome to your mindful moment.As always, please find a comfortable position for your body.And go ahead and bring your attention to the contact between your body and whatever surface is supporting you today.Whether it's a couch or a chair or a bed or the floor, really notice the contact between your body and that surface, and see if you can let your body relax even more into that surface.Let that surface fully support you and hold you today.And as you let your body relax, bring your attention to your breath and just notice what your experience of breathing is like right here in this present moment.Noticing each inhale as it comes.Noticing each exhale as it goes.You don't have to change anything about your breathing.You don't have to force it or manipulate it in any way.See if you can just observe your breath.Watch it with mindful curiosity.Just allow it to happen.Just notice what it feels like to breathe.Notice what sensations you experience as you breathe.Notice how your body moves with each inhale and each exhale.See if you can almost study your breath like a scientist, or like a curious child.Watch your breath with wonder.Maybe you can notice, “Oh, this is a long breath.”And maybe you can notice when your breath is a little shorter.Just noticing that each breath is different and unique.Each breath is beautiful in its own way.So just notice each breath.And now I'm going to bring this mindful moment to a close, but please feel free to remain in mindful meditation, witnessing the experience of breathing for as long as you like.Have a great day.I'm Amy Schloerb, The Aligned Actor

Bitcoin continues its historic streak—43 consecutive days closing above $100,000. The Swan Signal crew dives into what this milestone means, including comparisons to Joe DiMaggio's legendary hitting streak and the waning attention from normies, despite Bitcoin reaching all-time highs.Steven shares insight on why emerging markets and Bitcoin have outperformed, citing Lynn Alden's early calls. Meanwhile, John highlights how the broader TradFi world is just starting to wake up to Bitcoin's disruptive potential—despite cringe moments like Brian Armstrong pitching Bitcoin as a “new” idea or Wall Street macro types clumsily suggesting gold/oil-backed stablecoins from geopolitical rivals.Other key points:Bitcoin treasury plays are seeing early-stage momentum, with large speculative capital still sitting on the sidelines.The Genius Act, recently passed, lays the regulatory groundwork for stablecoins—some say this could bolster dollar dominance while indirectly boosting Bitcoin.Stablecoin growth is explained as a stepping stone to Bitcoin, not a competitor.Discussion on whether the classic 4-year Bitcoin cycle is dead, with some leaning toward a slower, more mature “Saylor Cycle” structure.Notable Quotes:“Listen to Bitcoiners. If you just get your 40 hours per week in, you'll know the answer to all questions in life.”“There's boredom above $100K… and retail is nowhere to be found.” Swan Private helps HNWI, companies, trusts, and other entities go beyond legacy finance with BItcoin.

Dr. Bernard Beitman is among the world's leading authorities on coincidences, or synchronicities, how they affect our lives and how we can make them work for us. Above all, it's a matter of NOTICING, and in this show Bernie tells us just how he does that and how it has enabled him to follow an enviably rich and productive life plan. Anne Strieber used to say that synchronicities mean that "we are on our soul plan." So, how do we find that thread and how do we keep following it? Listen as Bernie tells how noticing and making use of coincidences has enriched his life. Learn more about Bernie's work at Coincider. com. To get Meaningful Coincidences, click here.

Mark 12:28-34One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.”"Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
