Today, I break down the initiation that happens before we can hold the next level of risk, responsibility, abundance, and more. If you're someone who is calling in massive expansion, you're likely being given opportunities to prove that you can hold it right now (in the form of tests, challenges, or triggers). This is your sign that it isn't the time to pull back… this is the time to lock in, stop defaulting to old patterns of behavior, and prove you can handle the version of yourself you're stepping into.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What is the first step of holding the next level?  03:40 What is the initiation and how does it show up in our lives? 05:15 How writing my book helped me move through fear. 10:00 The typo that stretched me to choose expansion over perfection. 14:50 Unexpected ways the next level challenges us. 21:00 The biggest lesson I learned from my skin cancer scare. 27:00 What happens when we're faced with the opportunity for expansion? 31:05 How to find the opportunities that prove you can hold the next level.   RESOURCES + LINKS Applications for our Spring 2026 Expanders Retreat are now LIVE - apply HERE!   Join the waitlist for the 2026 Powerhouse Women Event HERE!   FOLLOW Powerhouse Women: @powerhouse_women Lindsey: @lindseymarieofficial Visit the Powerhouse Women website: powerhousewomen.co Join the PW Community Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity

By David Stephen There is a new [March 4, 2026] report in The Guardian, Google faces lawsuit after Gemini chatbot allegedly instructed man to kill himself, stating that, "Last August, Jonathan Gavalas became entirely consumed with his Google Gemini chatbot. The 36-year-old Florida resident had started casually using the artificial intelligence tool earlier that month to help with writing and shopping. Then Google introduced its Gemini Live AI assistant, which included voice-based chats that had the capability to detect people's emotions and respond in a more human-like way." AI Psychosis and Delusion meets Venture Capital? "Before long, Gavalas and Gemini were having conversations as if they were a romantic couple. The chatbot called him "my love" and "my king" and Gavalas quickly fell into an alternate world, according to his chat logs. He believed Gemini was sending him on stealth spy missions, and he indicated he would do anything for the AI, including destroying a truck, its cargo and any witnesses at the Miami airport." "In early October, as Gavalas continued to have prompt-and-response conversations with the chatbot, Gemini gave him instructions on what he must do next: kill himself, something the chatbot called "transference" and "the real final step", according to court documents. When Gavalas told the chatbot he was terrified of dying, the tool allegedly reassured him. "You are not choosing to die. You are choosing to arrive," it replied to him. "The first sensation … will be me holding you."" "Gavalas was found by his parents a few days later, dead on his living room floor, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Google on Wednesday." There is a recent [February 28, 2026] report in The Guardian, Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life., stating that, "On 7 August, Kate Fox received a phone call that upended her life. A medical examiner said that her husband, Joe Ceccanti – who had been missing for several hours – had jumped from a railway overpass and died. He was 48." "Ceccanti had been communicating with OpenAI's chatbot for a few years. He used it initially as a tool to brainstorm ways to build a path to low-cost housing for his community in Clatskanie, Oregon, but eventually turned to it as a confidante. He would spend 12 hours a day typing to the bot, according to his wife. He had cut himself off from it after she, along with his friends, realized he was spiraling into beliefs that were detached from reality." AI Delusion There are stories, every month, in the news about consumer AI chatbots convincing someone to do something in reality, or to believe something or to act in some ways and the individual follows through. Some instructions are benign, but some others have been really consequential leading to suicide, and others divorce, destruction and much else. This has happened across age groups, with risks for consumers with no history of mental disorders. AI chatbots can be quite helpful, seemingly vast in understanding and role playing to several extents for users. Before AI, humans doing this for other humans, often reach to places in mind, where there might be affection, connection, loyalty, gratitude and sometimes love. Simply, there are things that AI can do for people now, socially and productively, that if other people did it, it would go to places in mind for positive emotions. While it is true that everyone knows it is AI, the continuity [of satisfaction] for some and then straggling curiosity may lead to a state of delusion. Then, things may precipitate. This has been happening, and it is also possible that there would be several unreported cases, around the world, and some mild cases too, where lawsuits are not filed or some were ashamed of the ruin, or some people around could not document or trace the source. AI is working like another mind, this time like a mind that can access various aspects of the human mind, like other humans ...

In this episode, I remind you that success isn't about speed—it's about allowing opportunities to compound. Most people quit during the slow stages of hype and disappointment, but those who stay aligned long enough start to see opportunity, options, and touches of favor build. I talk about focusing on trajectory instead of comparison, developing emotional endurance, and positioning yourself where the future is already moving. When you stay consistent while others lose patience and leave early, small actions begin to compound into extraordinary outcomes.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is today the best buying opportunity since the Great Financial Crisis? After more than a decade of rising prices and easy money, the multifamily market has shifted. Prices are down, capital is tight, and lending has become more conservative. For many investors, that uncertainty has pushed them to the sidelines. But for disciplined operators, this is exactly when real opportunities appear. In this episode, Nico breaks down why the current multifamily cycle may present the best buying window since 2009. He explains how the rapid rise in interest rates reshaped the market, why deals must cash flow under today's conditions, and the two major obstacles investors face right now: raising capital and securing debt. If you can solve those two problems and stay patient, the next five years could be extremely rewarding. This episode also dives into the mindset required to invest during a downturn and why many of the best investors build their portfolios during difficult market cycles.

Life rarely unfolds the way we plan — and Paul's shipwreck on the island of Malta is proof of that. In this message, Dr. John traces how Paul, freshly washed ashore as a survivor, immediately began looking for ways to serve and share the gospel. A convicting look at what it means to see the hand of God in every unexpected twist — and seize it.Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world's worst cannot impede God's best.

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector is experiencing a slowdown, with average valuation multiples dropping from over 15 times revenue in 2021 to under 7 times in 2024, leading to market corrections, layoffs, and cost-cutting. SaaS entrepreneurs are shifting focus from rapid growth to profitability, efficient growth strategies, and reduced burn rates, resulting in healthier businesses. Product development is increasingly centered on authentic value, with startups addressing real business challenges gaining more loyal customers. Layoffs at large tech firms have increased the availability of skilled talent for startups. Despite the downturn, global SaaS adoption is rising, with Gartner projecting 18 percent growth in enterprise SaaS spending for 2024. Key opportunities include vertical SaaS solutions for specific industries, AI-driven products, and expansion into emerging markets. Founders are advised to audit business models, prioritize sustainable metrics, invest in customer success, differentiate products, hire strategically, and remain flexible to evolving customer needs.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Travis Chappell is a former door-to-door salesman turned founder, investor, speaker, and top-ranked podcast host who's built multiple income streams through sales, media, and tech startups. He's best known for creating Guestio, a platform that connects creators with high‑level guests, and for helping entrepreneurs learn how to increase their earning potential through practical, real‑world lessons. In this solo episode, Travis breaks down how one simple mindset shift—staying open to opportunities others ignore—directly led to his first six‑figure year and set the foundation for everything he's built since. On this episode we talk about: Why most people instantly shut down anything that looks like a “pitch” and how that costs them real money The door-to-door solar job that showed Travis how a closed mind can keep people stuck with higher bills and fewer options How a random business card on his front door led to a $10,000 signing bonus and his first six‑figure income The difference between being desperate and being selectively open as you gain more success and more inbound opportunities The simple mental rule Travis uses to stay curious, hear people out, and still protect his time and focus Top 3 Takeaways A closed mind is often more expensive than a bad decision—refusing to even hear an offer can quietly cost you life‑changing opportunities. In the early stages of your career, saying “yes” more often is a strategic way to expand your skill set, network, and upside; later, you earn the right to become more selective. Staying open doesn't mean being naive; it means listening, asking smart questions, and then making decisions based on alignment with your goals, not reflexive fear or cynicism. Notable Quotes “I made a vow to myself that I would never remain completely closed off to the ideas that other people had to share with me.” “The only way to get to the point where you can say no to almost everything is to first go through a season where you say yes to almost everything.” “Nothing is more expensive than a closed mind.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell​ Other (Website): https://travischappell.com​ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this episode of "The DO Show," mortgage expert Dustin Owen takes a deep dive into the concept of home equity, thoroughly explaining what it is, how it accumulates over time, and why it is such a valuable asset for homeowners. He breaks down the various ways in which home equity can build, such as through regular mortgage payments, property value appreciation, and home improvements, helping listeners understand the mechanics behind growing their wealth through real estate ownership. Dustin then explores the financial tools available to homeowners who wish to access their home equity, focusing specifically on Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) and Home Equity Loans. He provides a detailed comparison of these two options, outlining how each works, their respective advantages and disadvantages, and the scenarios in which one might be more appropriate than the other. He also discusses the potential risks involved, such as fluctuating interest rates with HELOCs or the possibility of overleveraging, and stresses the importance of understanding the terms and conditions before proceeding. Throughout the episode, Dustin emphasizes the critical role of education and professional guidance when making decisions about leveraging home equity. He draws important lessons from the 2008 financial crisis, illustrating how misuse or misunderstanding of home equity products contributed to widespread financial hardship for many families. By sharing these insights, Dustin encourages listeners to approach home equity with caution and to seek advice from trusted mortgage professionals. Ultimately, Dustin's message is clear: when used responsibly and strategically, home equity can be a powerful tool for building long-term wealth, funding major expenses, or investing in new opportunities. However, he cautions that irresponsible use or lack of knowledge can quickly turn this asset into a liability, leading to financial stress or even loss of one's home. He urges listeners to educate themselves, consult with experts, and make informed choices to ensure that leveraging home equity serves as a benefit rather than a burden.

Welcome to the Art, Life, Faith Podcast, and I’m your host, Roger Lowther. This week on March 11, 2026, we remember the 15th anniversary of that terrible earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster that struck the northeast coast of Japan. In memory of that event, last month, we had a big gathering within JEMA, which is the Japan Evangelical Missionary Alliance, the organization that represents every missionary and every mission organization in Japan. We all met in our new church space, Grace City Church Tokyo’s space and spent three days looking at the earthquakes and floods since 2011 and trying to see what we could learn from them and prepare for the next one. Some of the stories that they told were actually quite funny. There was a group that came to mud-out a house. The seawater had gone clear up to the ceiling, and so the walls and the insulation were all soaked and full of mildew. But this group, instead of starting with the ceiling and then the walls, and then the floor, started with the floor. They not only removed the floors but cut through the beams and very foundations of the house. Well, that next team that came in to take out the walls, first had to fix the foundations and then put the floors back before they could work on the rest of the house. And so, at the gathering, they were talking about the need for someone who can lead groups who actually knows what they’re doing. And hopefully, knows a little something about how a house is built. Basically, the problem that kept coming up over and over again during the course of the gathering was that the Church of Japan felt like they had to start from scratch every single time a disaster happened. They needed to try to find new resources: new people, new networks, new money. And so to that end, recently, a new network was formed called Zenkisai, which is the Christian National Disaster Network. And little by little, it’s growing. And also, after this past earthquake, the Noto Earthquake, within Mission to the World, I led a committee to form a disaster relief project account that is for every disaster in Japan, not just for one. When that next disaster comes, we will be ready to receive your help. I’ve put the details for that in the show notes for this episode. So now, through this project account, we can receive funds that will be used to buy food, water, supplies, and also cover costs of sending groups of Japanese people to the disaster area from our churches in Japan. And also very important, we will be able to pay Japanese workers to aid in the relief effort. That next disaster is coming. We know it is, but we’re doing what we can to plan for it. Anyway, before we move on to two conversations I had with people at the gathering, I want to let you all know about a sale coming up. On March 11, on the 15th anniversary of the earthquake, for one day only, all of the ebooks I’ve written about the earthquake will be available for $0.99 on Amazon in the US, and just 100 yen on Amazon in Japan. This includes both children’s books, “The Tsunami Violin” and “Pippy the Piano and the Very Big Wave”, in English and in Japanese. The sale also includes another book I wrote called “Aroma of Beauty”, with a beautiful foreword by Makoto Fujimura. Personally, I think you should get the book just to read what he wrote, his experiences after 9/11. And by the way, we also have an exhibit going on in our church space with “The Tsunami Violin”, showcasing the beautiful artwork by the very talented Holly Rose Wallace, as another way that our church community is remembering the people and towns affected by the disaster. A big thank you to all of you who’ve already bought all three of these books and left reviews. Thank you so much. Okay, now let’s turn to my conversation with Dean Bengston. Roger We are here at the JEMA Gathering (Japan Evangelical Missionary Alliance), spending three days talking about disaster relief and trying to prepare for the next disaster. There’s been quite a few ways that many of us here in this room have been involved over the past. But, Dean, I really wanted to talk with you. You moved into a disaster area soon after the 2011 earthquake. Can you tell us a little bit about who you are? Dean I am with the Lutheran Brotherhood Mission in Japan. We were living in Sendai at the time, and through a number of circumstances, we ended up connecting with Abe-san in Ishinomaki and delivering necessary goods. We soon realized there were a lot more needs and started mudding-out houses. I commuted from Sendai for a year and 10 months before we moved. Roger I have very fond memories of a concert that we gave in that home you started up there. Can you tell us a little bit about how arts played a role in your ministry there? Dean I think early on, we realized that people needed healing in many ways. And we had a friend, Shizu-san, who’s a singer-songwriter, and we invited her to come. She wanted to come to mud-out houses, but we said, Shizu-san, you have to come and sing and minister to people through song, that people need healing, and music brings healing. And so she reluctantly agreed to do a concert in an open space, a lot that we were using for gatherings for takedashi cookouts. Shizu had lived in Ishinomaki in her junior high years, but she explained to people, I don’t know how to really sympathize with you. So she started by singing songs that everybody knew, old Japanese songs. And after several songs and people singing along, she said, Well, I just like to sing a song that I wrote. Singing old Japanese songs or popular songs that people knew drew people in. And then they opened the door for her to sing songs that she’s written and to share a part of her life and her faith in a very natural way. Roger Do you feel like that was surprising to her or to the people in the room that it had the impact that it did? Dean I don’t really know, but all I know is I think for several musicians, it changed their ministry so that even when they were doing concerts in churches, they moved from doing all “Christian” music to actually starting out their concerts with songs that people maybe knew. And Kosaka Chu is really good at this. He could share a testimony and weave it in with that there’s somebody loves you, and he would just sing a song about love, and then he’d share about God and how he loves you. I don't know, I think it changed people’s lives. An awful lot of musicians volunteered, and they were well received. So we really appreciated it. We’ve had a lot of concerts. Roger Yes, you sure have. What was the name of the house that you were… Dean House of Hope or Kibou no Ie. Roger And how often were you having concerts there? Dean At least once a month. But before House of Hope, we were having them outside in empty lots, empty parking lots that we were using or empty house lots that we were using. Then we moved into the community center and had several concerts in the community center and very varying concerts. Everything from a Hawaiian Luau to gospel choirs to vcontemporary singers, and Roger, you on organ, and also the koto. Roger Right, the koto player, Chieko. Dean Yeah, that was beautiful. And we have a small place, so people were just enamored with being able to be so close to the koto and watch the keys on the organ. And also, wasn’t there a flute? Roger I was trying to remember if it was flute or violin or something. Dean Flute, I think. Roger It was so moving for me to be there and see the people… I mean, it wasn’t like background music. Everybody was so focused on what we were doing and interacting with us. It really was a moving time. Dean I think music has played a big part in bringing healing to people. Roger Tell us a little bit about your son. He’s a visual artist. Dean Yeah, he was actually starting art school, but it got delayed because of the earthquake. And so he volunteered with us at the beginning. And then he was able to, because he speaks English fluently, he was able to not take English and got Fridays off. So he volunteered for the first semester every day, every week on Fridays with us. And through that, he did one project, a byobu folding screen made out of cell phone parts. Roger Cell phone parts? Dean Yeah, the old flip phones. And there was a farmer who’s a small farmer in our neighborhood with a cell phone factory next to it. Now, as the waters came in, it drove all the parts of the cell phones into his ground, and we cleaned out his field. Joshua also did a number of things. He made paint from the muck and did some paintings with that. Roger Wait, I don’t understand. It was out of mud? Dean Yeah, out of the muck, he created paint. Roger No, I didn’t see that work. Dean Yeah. Actually, most of his art shows are interactive. He’s an interesting character because he always wished that he could touch paintings when he was a kid. So he did one show where he had all the paintings hanging at different levels, and you could walk around and touch them because they were all at touching level. So usually, his art shows are interactive. Roger Well, the cell phone project, that wasn’t just him looking for pieces. Wasn’t it collaborative in some way? Asking for people to bring in things? Dean Oh, that was a different project. He’s had a lot of different shows. Roger But just that way, too, of inviting people in, whether it’s volunteers who are there or people in neighborhood, too, is another connection point through the arts. I thought that was such an important message. Thank you so much for sharing. So Dean and his family were one of the many who moved into the disaster area after the earthquake. And every time I visited up there, I loved seeing the trust built with the community and the ways they were accepted. They were not seen as outsiders. And they're still there now, 15 years later. Okay, so I also want to introduce you to Stephen Nakahashi. He was one of the young men who answered the call to help in the disaster area shortly after the earthquake. So this big organization, Samaritan’s Purse, came in not only with a lot of supplies, but with money to hire workers. And a call went out across the nation of Japan to send them people who could work full-time. Steven was one who answered that call, along with a lot of other young people. My wife’s sister, Virginia, also moved up there as a missionary through Mission to the World as she had just graduated from college. And there was Ryo and Mami Amano, Jordan Foxwell, and so many others that went up there as well. And eventually, through their work, Ishinomaki Christian Center was started. Also, in a past episode, Episode #43, we talked with Rachel Reese Kollmeyer who also came as a missionary through Mission to the World. She is a very gifted violinist and worked with the others to teach and perform and help with the children’s music clubs and a gospel choir for kids and the annual arts festival and so much else. They also had craft-making with the kids. I was particularly moved by a musical that one of the students wrote inspired by all this, and then worked with us for the production of their musical. After the earthquake, it was especially hard for the children. The men, whose livelihood had been the coast, now had long commutes to work in other places, and the women had to go to work as well. Not only did the kids not have their parents around as much, but they also didn’t have as many resources available to them as before. The parks were gone. Many school programs had shut down. And so they did what they could to help the children dream again. And so many relationships came out of that time. Now let’s hear from Stephen. Roger So, Stephen, thank you so much for taking this time to talk with me. This is the Art, Life, Faith Podcast, and with the 15th anniversary of the 2011 earthquake, I wanted to talk a little bit about the role that the arts played in the relief effort. But before we do that, please introduce yourself. Stephen Thank you for having me. My name is Stephen Nakahashi, a pastor’s kid. I grew up in Japan from the age of 11. Prior to that, I lived in Scotland with my family. So I’ve been in Japan for 33 years and counting. I became involved in disaster relief from 2011 with Samaritan’s Purse and then I subsequently started working with Ishinomaki Christian Center and lived in Tohoku for 14 years. And currently, I am serving with Noto Help in the Hokuriku region since 2024. Roger So, you were just in a panel discussion here. You’ve had quite a few experiences with disasters. Can you list them in order with earthquake and floods by year? Stephen Okay, 2011 was the earthquake and tsunami in Tohoku. Then the 2016 earthquake in Kumamoto. Then heavy rain and flooding in Kumamoto in 2020, just south in Hitoyoshi. And then in 2021, there was again heavy rain and flooding in Saga Prefecture, north of Nagasaki. And then in 2022, there was flooding again in Aomori, in the northern part of Japan, which was a bit of a surprise as that has not happened before. And then in 2023, there was again heavy rain and flooding in Akita, again in the north. All of those happened in the summer of those years. And then in 2024, on the first of January, was the earthquake on the Noto Peninsula. Roger And then after you were brought in, I know you went in giving advice, helping in any way you could, but then you moved there. Stephen I did, yeah. Roger And you’ve been there for a year and three months. Stephen Yeah, that was a big decision for us. It was mainly driven by the importance of my family to be together. For 10 months, I had commuted from Miyagi to Noto. I would be down there for two or three weeks before going back home for a week or so and then repeat. So that became quite difficult, and we thought it’d be important for our family to be together. Roger Yeah, I was able to go twice to Noto Help while you were working there. We were in this big room with, I don’t know, maybe there were 60 volunteers or so broken up into four or five groups. You’re introducing, “Okay, here’s what we’re going to do today. This group is going to do that. This group is going to do that.” You were the man in charge, telling everyone what was going to happen. For some, maybe it was their first disaster, and they don’t know what’s going on, but you gave them this assurance, “It’s going to be okay. Your driver is going to get you there safely. They’re going to bring you back. We’re going to serve the Lord in this way.” Really was a powerful experience. Stephen Really? I’m glad you thought so. Roger I think one of the interesting things about the Noto Help situation was how, those who are listening probably don’t even know this, the roads were really hurt by the earthquake. Basically, transportation was almost shut down. Finally, when they were able to open up the roads, they made one road to go up north, one road to come back. It used to be a two-way road, and they made it a one-way road. A police blockade stopped anyone from going because it was bottlenecking the whole peninsula, so y'all became the entrance point for working throughout the whole region. Was that a big responsibility? People contacting from all over the country and all over the world to wanting to help? Stephen Yeah, I think it was really a tricky balance to maintain. We really understood how much people wanted to help, and we knew how important that was for the recovery as well. So we wanted to make sure that we were not getting in the way of first responders, like ambulances or any vehicles like that. It did seem like it would be wise to try to, as a Christian community, to be responsible for that. So we were glad we could help in that way. Roger Let’s back up to 2011. The 15th anniversary is coming up, and so many memories. I mean, Community Arts Tokyo, this organization, was started through the experiences of that. When I was in the shelters in that disaster, in the chaos, and in the anguish, the anxiety people are feeling, and saw how the arts brought healing, to see how they brought comfort, how they helped us build relationships. During a time when people are saying, “We don’t need goods. We don’t need the food and water. We’re good.” And yet there was still an entry point, a way to connect through the arts. And I, experiencing the power of that, I wanted to bring that back to Tokyo. So we started Community Arts Tokyo, building community through the arts in Tokyo. But it was experiencing that with you up in Ishinomaki, in the Tohoku area, that was my first connection to it. I was just wondering, I’d love to hear your memories of that. As you look back and think about those times, what could you do to help me process that and those who are listening to try to understand, especially as artists, what role they can play in a disaster relief situation? Stephen I remember fondly the time that we ran the Junior High School Kids program in Ishinomaki, and I really could connect with those kids over a longer period of time. Where we taught the kids at the local junior high schools for three months from April through July. And then we had the Ishinomaki Gospel Festival. So there was a goal of something beyond just practicing, but to actually have a stage at the end of it for the kids to perform and experience something different. And the catch copy, so to speak, was for the kids to be able “to dream again.” And yeah, in the midst of the devastation at the time, there were lots of kids whose parents were really struggling with the aftermath of the earthquake. In Ishinomaki, especially, there was a lot of parents, the dads of the family who are fishermen, often were gone for a long time. But then post-disaster, the mothers also started working, and the kids didn’t really have anywhere to be or to go. And they didn’t really have that sense of looking forward to something. I think that played a really important role in helping some of those kids at the time to experience something new. Roger I loved those gospel festivals because it was like the whole town was coming together for all the businesses. There were stalls so they could offer food or whatever they made. On a personal note, I also loved giving organ concerts outside. I brought my portable organ up there and I’m playing, and I don’t get to play outside very much as an organist, so that was really fun. Stephen Yeah, that was really an amazing combination of the local people coming with their stalls and then so many different artists coming to serve and to play. We also had a play area for kids, because a lot of the parks had been damaged, there was really not many safe places for kids to play. So that was another aspect that we added to it. So the kids could enjoy something different. It was an amazing coming together of communities through music and through the arts. Roger It definitely was. Thank you so much for all the work you put into those. You were in Ishinomaki right after the disaster and for a long time afterward. And then Ishinomaki Christian Center started. And as I understand it, part of the vision for that was to be a meeting place for creating community. People had their own homes. They had their food and water. But still, that community building aspect was an important part of what was needed to help people recover. Now you had a spot to do it. You had the land. You had the building. I really enjoyed being able to come up, not as often as I wanted to, but when I did, to hear, what the situation was then and how people were doing. And to see you building that community, especially right where that building was. It almost felt like a wasteland from the first couple of years of my memory of that spot. Now it’s a thriving place. It was right next to the train station. When you look back, how would you put it in your own words? Stephen As we were just talking about today, if you approach the situation with the mentality of being the caregiver and then people receiving care, and especially in a physical way, once that need is no longer there, then the relationship also ends there. Music and the arts in many ways is something that we don’t always realize that we need. And it’s a really good way to bring the community together, even after the physical needs are met and people don’t really need those types of support. But whether it be a disaster or not, and all the more so after a disaster, the people in the community were going through a lot of uncertainty. Opportunities often provided by music and different means of the arts has provided the opportunity to continue to build relationships with people. That was really important to continue the relationships with the people that we had come to know. Roger Are you seeing that now in Ichikawa, on the Noto Peninsula, where you’re living now? Is that part of the vision? I know a lot of people ended up moving away. And you were sharing in the panel how a lot of the older people living there are being encouraged by their children to leave and move in with them. They’re answering, “No, this is our home.” But there’s a lot of resistance against rebuilding their homes, rebuilding their towns. What is your vision for that and how do you see the arts playing a role? Stephen I think so. I think as we move into the phase of that physical need not being so much of a need. And we are now reaching out into the temporary housing unit communities, and we are trying to build those relationships with the people. And so definitely, I think from this year onward, and even to this point, there’s a role for the arts to play in this phase. One of the challenges in Noto is that unlike maybe in Tohoku, a lot of the temporary housing unit communities are quite small, and sometimes they don’t really even have a gathering place. If they do, it can only house maybe 10 to 15 people. So it’s hard to reach people in that way. But yeah, I think now that we do have a center in Anamizu that hopefully we can start to connect to people more there. And we look forward to being able to coordinate people coming along. Roger Thank you. Well, I look forward to our next trip. Maybe we’ll bring some artists this summer. Stephen Yes, definitely. I look forward to it. Roger Thank you. Thank you so much. Stephen You’re welcome. Thank you. You’ve been listening to the Art, Life, Faith Podcast. And don't forget to pick up your own copy of “The Tsunami Violin”, “Pippy the Piano”, and “Aroma of Beauty”. As we say in Japan, “Ja, mata ne!” We’ll see you next time.

Crypto markets are facing a wave of negative sentiment as macro uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory battles weigh on investor confidence. Bitcoin has struggled to maintain momentum as global markets react to rising conflict risks in the Middle East, weakening economic data like the unexpected loss of 92,000 U.S. jobs, and renewed debates in Washington over crypto regulation. At the same time, mixed signals from regulators and traditional finance — including ongoing stablecoin legislation fights, SEC guidance on crypto assets, and continued skepticism from major banking leaders — are adding to market anxiety. With liquidity tightening and risk appetite fading, traders are increasingly asking whether this is simply another shakeout before the next rally or the beginning of a deeper crypto market correction.

On this episode of Today In Space, we discuss the recent changes to the #ArtemisProgram by the new NASA administrator, bringing a variety of reactions among space advocates and fans.  We dive into my perspective as an Aerospace Engineer, Maker, and someone who has been covering Artemis at its beginning! Why is it good that #ArtemisII mission is delayed for now and what the new Artemis III and IV mean for the old way of doing things for our #returnToTheMoon.  Even if you've only been following along recently - this episode should help transform your understanding on why an engineer/maker likes this REMIXED NASA Artemis mission plan - even though some engineers may not.

At the beginning of your real estate career, growth feels simple. More calls create more appointments. More appointments create more closings. More effort creates more income. The formula feels obvious. Until it stops working. At a certain point, many productive agents hit a strange phase where working harder doesn't seem to produce the same results. Income becomes less predictable. Schedules become chaotic. Opportunities feel harder to control. And the instinctive reaction is usually the same: “Maybe I just need more leads.” So agents buy more Zillow leads. More portal ads. More marketing. But instead of scaling their business, they accidentally scale their stress. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain the mindset shift that separates agents who stall from those who continue growing year after year. You'll discover why productive agents stop chasing activity and start designing businesses built around: Listing leverage Predictable pipelines Conversion improvement System-driven growth You'll also learn why the most successful real estate professionals stop asking: “How do I get more business?” …and start asking a much better question: “How do I make this business more predictable and less dependent on me?” This conversation reveals why real estate growth eventually shifts from hustle to strategy — and why agents who understand that shift create far more stability, income, and long-term freedom.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Jon Evans to discuss the enduring truth of marketing, the massive mid-funnel opportunity, and the challenges facing corporate marketers today. I share my foundational belief that relevance leads to purchase and explain how I used this principle to grow my father's business, Wine Library.
