Check out Duktig Brand here: https://www.duktigbrand.com/ In this episode, Gary Curneen is joined by Luis Swisher, U18/U19 coach at St. Louis City SC (MLS), to break down one of the most undervalued attacking moments in soccer: throw-ins. Most teams get 25–45 throw-ins per match, yet very few coach them with the same detail as build-up play, goal kicks, or corners. Luis explains why throw-ins should be treated as controlled attacking restarts, not throwaways — and how teaching intentions, space, and decision-making can lead to more possession, progression, and goal-scoring opportunities. We discuss: Why there are more throw-ins than corners — and why that matters Coaching the thrower as the “quarterback” Intentions vs predictable set routines How to train attacking throw-ins without killing session flow Scaling throw-in detail from youth to professional level Access full webinar here: https://www.modernsoccercoach.com/post/how-throw-ins-can-create-goals-free-webinar Check out Duktig Brand here: https://www.duktigbrand.com/ In this episode, Gary Curneen is joined by Luis Swisher, U18/U19 coach at St. Louis City SC (MLS), to break down one of the most undervalued attacking moments in soccer: throw-ins.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work. Today we're doing something a little different for the Christmas break. We're sharing an episode from our friend Jeremy Cline's podcast Change Work Life, where Al joined him to reflect on Jeremy's first year as a full-time coach. This conversation marks Jeremy's 200th episode, and instead of interviewing someone else, he turns the spotlight on himself. It's a rare, honest look at what actually happens when you leave a stable career after 20 years and try to build something new from scratch. No glossy “quit and make six figures” narrative — just the real, messy middle that most founders and coaches quietly go through. Al and Jeremy dig into the emotional, financial and identity shifts that come with starting your own business, what surprised Jeremy the most, and why meaningful conversations — not logos or websites — became the backbone of his first year. If you're thinking of going out on your own, supporting someone who is, or you're simply curious about what a year of reinvention looks like behind the scenes, this is the perfect listen for the quieter days of December.

host: Alyson Stanfield In this coaching-style episode, host Alyson Stanfield coaches Ebony Iman Dallas through the challenges of building a sustainable public art career while navigating motherhood, a regional market, and the fear of rejection. Ebony makes 90% of her income from public art but struggles with systems, marketing that highlights events instead of her work, and waiting for opportunities instead of creating them. If you've ever felt stretched between creative work and life responsibilities—or stuck in a local market—you'll recognize yourself here. HIGHLIGHTS 01:30 Ebony's journey from advertising to opening the first art gallery in post-war Somaliland to full-time public art practice 06:10 How Ebony's income breaks down: 90% public art, 10% studio sales 08:30 Why she needs both institutional recognition and sales to spread her messages about Black Oklahoma history 16:30 Ebony admits she has no systems for tracking proposals and keeps everything in her head 21:10 Her graphic memoir Through Abahay's Eyes aims to clear her father's name and show healing is possible 30:20 The critical marketing shift: promote primarily—over events 33:10 Building a VIP list and postcard strategy to stay visible with the right people 40:50 Why fear of rejection keeps your dreams small 44:00 Weekly accountability check-ins take the emotion out and make it a numbers game 46:20 The three main takeaways: accountability structure, VIP postcard strategy, and intentional art-focused marketing ACTION Take one of these strategies and put it into action this week. Reach out to one curator or gallery director. Start your VIP list of people who should know about your work. Or schedule a weekly check-in with an accountability partner to share what you've applied for.

Today we'll look at God's baby picture. It's a paradox, isn't it? The uncreated God had no beginning, but He gave Himself a human beginning. And that's what we celebrate at Christmas. Jesus is "the image of the invisible God," a kind of living photograph to bring the Transcendent One down into the realm of our senses. And He is much more, as we began to see yesterday in the first chapter of Colossians. Let's continue there, with Pastor Jim.

What happens when supply finally stabilizes, demand shifts gears, and the global economy refuses to follow the script? In this year-end Outlook episode, AirDNA Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Bram Gallagher to break down what actually happened in 2025 — and what STR hosts and property managers should prepare for in 2026.Together, they revisit last year's predictions on supply growth, occupancy, and pricing, grading where the industry hit the mark (and where reality surprised us). The conversation then looks forward, unpacking how macroeconomic forces — from inflation and interest rates to housing affordability and global travel trends — are shaping the next phase of the short-term rental market.The takeaway? 2026 may not be a breakout year, but it's a pivotal one. With supply re-accelerating, demand patterns evolving, and events like the World Cup looming large, this episode offers a grounded, data-backed roadmap for navigating what's ahead — especially for operators who are thinking strategically rather than reactively.You don't want to miss this episode!Key Takeaways for STR Hosts & OperatorsSupply has bottomed — and it's coming back. After slowing sharply in 2025, supply is expected to re-accelerate in 2026, especially in resort and suburban markets.Occupancy may soften slightly before rebounding. Supply could outpace demand in the short term, leading to modest occupancy pressure before conditions rebalance in 2027.Pricing power remains limited but stable. ADR growth should improve modestly, though most existing listings will need to hold rates steady rather than push aggressive increases.International demand is an X-factor. The 2026 World Cup could drive record inbound travel — but policy and sentiment will play a major role in how big that impact is.Experienced operators have the advantage. The next wave of supply growth is likely driven by more professional, intentional investors — raising the bar for performance and operations.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

You're not behind…you're just tired of “trying harder” and still feeling like you can't fully exhale.If you've ever had that moment where you know you're capable, you know you're doing a lot, and yet money (or support, or opportunity) still feels…weirdly hard to receive—this workshop replay is for you. ✨In Episode 231, I'm teaching the same thing I had to learn the hard way: abundance isn't something you chase. It's something your nervous system has to feel safe enough to allow.We talk about why so many smart, driven people get stuck in “striving but never arriving”…and why it's not a motivation problem or a “just think positive” situation. It's subconscious programming. It's old emotional wiring. It's the body bracing.And then we shift it—together.This isn't just a listen-and-nod episode. It's a tap-along experience with three EFT rounds designed to help you:calm the money stress spiralsoften debt guilt and self-judgmentstop the “I have to earn everything the hard way” patternexpand your capacity to receive without overgiving, proving, or panickingWe also use money as a mirror (because it's honest like that)…but what we're really working on is receiving—in every form. Support. Ease. Love. Opportunities. Breath.If you want a lighter body, clearer choices, and a different relationship with abundance that doesn't require burnout to be “valid”…press play and let yourself actually do the work with me.

Many companies have a blind spot when it comes to serving women. In fields from health care to financial services, they often treat women just like men—even though their needs are very different. BCG's Alex Friedman and Trish Stroman share tangible steps leaders can take today to better serve women—who are responsible for up to 80% of spending. Organizations that are best positioned won't guess what women want—they'll co-create with them and design for real needs.

Is the office market truly dead — or is it setting up one of the best buying opportunities in commercial real estate? Michael Bull talks with Travis King, CEO of Realm, about why family offices are actively acquiring office buildings at deep discounts as the market begins to turn. They discuss office demand trends, submarket selection, all-equity investing, leasing strategies, and why modern, well-located office assets may outperform as new supply remains limited. Get real-world insight into where smart capital is moving in the office sector heading into 2026.

You didn't get to choose where you were born - but Jesus did! "The barn out back" wasn't Joseph's and Mary's first choice for a "birthing suite" - or their second choice, or their one-hundredth choice. To them it must have seemed like an emergency, makeshift solution. But all was going according to plan. Today Jim will help us see the Lord's birth from Heaven's perspective.

Webinar by signing up here:register.boldbrush.com/live-guestLearn the magic of marketing  with us here at BoldBrush!boldbrushshow.comGet over 50% off your first year on your artist website with FASO:FASO.com/podcast---For today's episode, we sat down with realist oil painter and former radiologist Carl Bretzky, who shares his journey from growing up interested in art and photography, through a medical career in interventional radiology, to becoming a full-time artist in 2016. He explains how studying with Joe Paquet and participating in plein air events around the country shaped his love for landscape, urban scenes, and especially nocturnes, which he believes are often easier and faster to paint than daytime scenes due to their homogeneous darks and clear value transitions. Carl discusses his use of the rule of thirds and his approach to composition, often reimagining scenes—like his piece Hotel Laguna Nocturne—in the studio to adjust skies, colors, and clouds for stronger visual impact. Carl also tells us about his use of the prismatic palette, rooted in the teachings of Frank Vincent DuMond, and how understanding prismatic color shifts and subtle gradations helps create convincing light, atmosphere, and distance. Finally, Carl offers advice on building an art career through instruction, plein air competitions, galleries, networking, and social media, emphasizing saying yes to opportunities, maintaining an active studio practice, and cultivating community with other artists.Carl's FASO site:carlbretzke.comCarl's Social Media:instagram.com/carlbretzkeartfacebook.com/carl.bretzke.3Carl's Videos:Instructional Videos

APR President and CEO Steve Alexander returns to the Recycled Content podcast to dig deeper into what is really holding the American recycling system back and the ongoing fight against misinformation surrounding plastic recycling. In this episode, Steve and host Kara Pochiro unpack misleading recycling rate statistics, push back on the false claim that plastics placed in household recycling bins do not get recycled, and clarify why today's challenge is not capacity, but market demand and material supply. The two dive into how APR is working to close these gaps through policy leadership, design guidance, and market-building programs. The conversation also previews key issues that will take center stage at the Plastics Recycling Conference this February in Chula Vista, California, and looks ahead to APR's priorities as the industry heads into 2026.

It's been a while since we dropped a solo episode, and today I'm sharing something personal, vulnerable, and—honestly—encouraging. Because even after twenty years of living with ADHD and five years of deep healing work, rejection sensitivity still shows up for me. The difference now? I know how to support myself through it.In this episode, I share an update on my book (spoiler: I'm almost done writing!), answer a listener voicemail, share a helpful resource, and then take you behind the scenes of a recent rejection-sensitivity spiral that almost kept me from attending (and speaking at!) the CHADD conference. I walk you through exactly how I navigated the emotional storm—step by step—so I could do the work I'm meant to do.This isn't a story about never feeling big feelings again. It's a story about what becomes possible when we learn to move through them with skill, compassion, and self-trust.If you've ever wondered whether you'll “grow out of” rejection sensitivity or if you'll always be derailed by it, this episode is a reassuring reminder: RS may not disappear, but your capacity to handle it absolutely can grow.Brick Code: https://www.getbrick.app/KRISTEN37887Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Why do the smallest disagreements with loved ones sometimes feel like the fiercest battles? Conflict in relationships often spirals into unproductive cycles of attack and defense, leaving us stuck, misunderstood, and further apart from the connection we crave. We rush to defend, strategize, and fix—yet rarely pause long enough to truly understand what matters beneath the surface. In this episode, listeners are invited to explore powerful strategies for breaking the cycle of reactivity and shifting attention toward curiosity, clarity, and genuine understanding. Through personal stories, actionable principles, and practical guidance, the conversation uncovers how paying attention to our underlying needs, emotions, interests, and habitual responses can foster a more constructive, compassionate, and collaborative approach to navigating conflict. By learning to differentiate between strategies and the needs they serve, listeners gain the tools to create meaningful change, deepen intimacy, and transform even the stickiest conflicts into opportunities for growth. Dana Caspersen is a conflict engagement specialist, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and award-winning performing artist. She works with individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide as a trainer, coach, consultant, and dialogue designer. Drawing on the knowledge and insight gained from her experience as a mediator and conflict analyst and her 40-year career as a performing arts innovator, Dana empowers people and organizations to navigate complex and challenging situations. Conflict Is an Opportunity is her newest book.   Episode Highlights 04:22 How our bodies react and impact communication. 09:25 Moving from attack-defense to understanding in conflict. 13:22 The impact of unmet needs in relationship conflict. 14:22 Distinguishing needs, emotions, interests, and strategies. 18:16 Creating a supportive relationship culture for navigating conflict. 23:15 The importance of internal clarification before addressing issues. 24:50 Practicing curiosity and validation during difficult interactions. 28:35 Managing communication triggers and acknowledging emotions. 33:32 Intentional connection and embodied curiosity in conflict resolution. 36:07 Safety, attachment, and speaking from interests instead of vulnerabilities. 38:06 Conscious decision-making and the role of requests in conflict. 42:46 Applying conflict skills across all relationships and areas of life.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Before addressing conflict, take a moment to breathe, relax, and bring your attention inward so you can respond rather than react. Pay attention to your body's stress signals—like a tight neck or jaw—and consciously shift to a more open, relaxed posture to support curiosity and connection. Redirect your attention away from attack and defense; instead, get genuinely curious about what your partner is feeling and what matters to them. Start conversations by acknowledging your partner's feelings and concerns to disarm defensiveness and open up constructive dialogue. Recognize that requests or strategies (like asking your partner to be home by 8) often mask deeper needs (such as intimacy or security), and talk about those underlying needs instead. Approach your partner with open-ended requests rather than demands, creating space for true dialogue and collaboration. Use your emotions as a clue to uncover your real needs and interests, then express those clearly and kindly to your partner. Expect that conflict will arise and discuss with your partner how you'll address it—having a shared mindset helps you get back on track when things get heated.   Mentioned Conflict Is an Opportunity (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Changing the Conversation: The 17 Principles of Conflict Resolution (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Conflict is a place of possibility (TedX Talks) (YouTube link) (video) Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are (TED) (YouTube link) (video) Gottman Institute Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (*Psychology Today) (link) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Dana Caspersen Website: danacaspersen.com Facebook: facebook.com/DanaCaspersen Instagram: instagram.com/dcaspersen LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dana-caspersen

Dr. Jennifer explains how she navigated contracts and non-compete concerns, designed her DPC practice around access and affordability, and later added an IV infusion lounge as a separate business to create a second, values-aligned income stream. Listeners hear what to consider if they're thinking about DPC or cash-pay services themselves—from keeping overhead lean to choosing services, partners, and protocols that fit both their ethics and their lifestyle.

Most business owners are laser-focused on one thing at tax time: paying as little as possible. On the surface, that feels smart. In reality, it can quietly shut the door on financing, real estate deals, acquisitions, and long-term growth. In this episode, we talk straight about the hidden cost of aggressive write-offs and why writing everything off can make it nearly impossible to get approved for loans or build real wealth.

You'll learn: The difference between reckless write-offs and strategic tax planning Common personal expenses business owners run through their companies that create legal and financial risk How intertwining personal and business expenses can lead to piercing the corporate veil What reasonable addbacks lenders often accept—and how to document them properly Why paying some taxes can actually unlock bigger opportunities   This episode is a must-listen for Idaho business owners who want to think bigger, get bankable, and stop writing themselves out of opportunity.   If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!

Hey, it's Dave Jackson, and I'm thrilled to bring you episode 1014 of the School of Podcasting. You've heard me say it before: "Podcasts lead to relationships, and those relationships lead to opportunities." Today, I brought proof! I sat down with Kim Newlove and Jan Almasey, who shared amazing stories about how starting a podcast opened doors they never anticipated.Kim Newlove's Story:Kim hosts The Pharmacist Voice, where she shares insights on using your voice in the medical field, as well as the Perrysburg Podcast in Ohio. It's been incredible watching Kim become a mini local celebrity—people in her town now recognize her as "the podcast woman." Whether it's meeting city council members or audience listeners who discovered the area through her podcast, Kim sees firsthand how her show for Perrysburg builds authentic relationships. She even reached out to her local library to run seminars on "how to listen to podcasts," growing her audience one person at a time. You can check out Kim's work at the Pharmacist Voice.Jan Almasey's Journey:Jan started the Apex Podcast after seeing how storytelling could bring hope to his local community in Stark County, Ohio. Over three years, the show picked up momentum, leading to speaking engagements at high schools, partnerships with the local chamber of commerce, and even a sponsorship from the city that helped him set up a podcast studio in downtown Canton. Jan's strategy? Build real relationships—sending thank-you cards or making personal follow-up calls to guests fueled organic growth. Later, those relationships directly translated to business opportunities like agency work, consulting gigs, and even a grant through Jumpstart Inc. to support the local economy. Jan's story proves that podcasting is about more than downloads—it's about building a network that keeps on growing.

Whether you're meeting listeners at local events, helping someone discover how to use a podcast app, or forming business partnerships outside your traditional circles, these relationships turn into possibilities you never would've imagined. Your podcast can be the starting point for new jobs, collaborations, consulting work, or simply making a bigger impact in your community.If you're thinking about starting a podcast or you're on the verge of giving up—let these stories convince you to stick with it. The relationships you build now might lead to the next big opportunity.Ready to plan, launch, or grow your show?
