Feeling stuck? The answer isn't more strategy or better tactics. It's way simpler than that. I'll show you exactly how 15 minutes of intentional outreach can generate more opportunity than months of overthinking. Whether you need new clients, want a better job, or just miss having real friends, the solution is always the same. Pick up your phone and reconnect with people. No fancy scripts. No perfect pitch. Just genuine human contact that cuts through all the digital noise. Today I promise you'll have more opportunities than you can handle. Featured Story Friday afternoon, I got the email nobody wants. A client was firing me. His business was in crisis; sales were tanking, and cutting costs meant cutting me first. When we finally talked, I heard something he didn't. His client wasn't looking to cut costs. She was drowning and needed someone to throw her a lifeline. That crisis was actually an opportunity to triple his value and transform her business. He just couldn't see it yet. Within 30 seconds of me walking him through it, he looked at me and said, "Why are you so damn good?" I laughed and told him I'm trained to find opportunity in chaos. It's who I am. Important Points Most crises create opportunities when you stop cutting costs and start solving the real problem for them instead. Personal outreach beats every passive strategy by multiple factors now because direct contact creates awareness. Most people overestimate what it takes to create opportunity when just 15 minutes weekly opens all endless doors. Memorable Quotes "Opportunity is proportional to intentional outreach, and your direct contact outperforms everything else now." "If you feel stuck right now, pick up the phone and start calling people because visibility creates opportunity." "Never waste a good crisis because that's when people need you most and will pay you like crazy for solving it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Pick up your phone today and reach out to someone without any agenda or ask, just a genuine human connection now. Open conversations with people who might need help, can refer you, or you'd just like to reconnect with right now. Watch opportunities appear instantly because just 15 minutes of outreach beats hours of overthinking every time.

When a small group of incarcerated men within California's prison system decided to use their lives to uplift fellow prisoners, they launched what is known nationally as C.R.O.P., Creating Restorative Programs and Opportunities. They knew that 54% of those who are released from California prisons encounter a world they barely recognize and without adequate support and resources, will reoffend within three years. In this episode of Power Station my guest is Terah Lawyer, the extraordinary leader who, as president of CROP, is demonstrating the power of systems and culture change in real time. Terah brings her lived experience with incarceration, academic grounding and deep commitment to her community to the design and implementation of Ready 4 Life, an innovative campus-based reentry initiative that is proving to be transformative. It trains and places participants in substantive jobs with meaningful wages, provides secure housing and invests in each person's personal development, from taking accountability to honing leadership skills. Terah honors the nonprofits, formerly incarcerated leaders and champions like Gov. Newsom and the California State Legislature who are investing in the potential and humanity of those who are striving for a productive second chance. A story that needs to be heard.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Randie Ward shares a powerful real-world breakdown of how relationship-building and strategic teaming led to a major $5 million contract win. Instead of chasing bids last-minute, Randie explains how early conversations with the right program managers revealed what the customer actually wanted: a capable small business prime supported by the right partners—not a massive prime contractor takeover. Randie walks through how the winning team came together by aligning a strong construction prime, a reputable design partner, and a prepared small business lead. When the RFQ finally dropped, they were already ahead—ready with resumes, key personnel, and a complete package. After being shortlisted, Randie coached the team through a high-stakes Phase Two interview with scripts, rehearsals, and precision timing… and they ultimately won. Key Takeaways: Relationships uncover what customers want before the RFQ ever hits Winning teams are built early through smart partnering (prime + design + support) Phase Two interviews are where preparation separates finalists from winners If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/ Website: https://govcongiants.org/ Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding Join 2026 Surge Bootcamp Starting January 31: https://govcongiants.org/surge

In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen Benelli and Robyn Benelli continue their Reiki manifestation series by exploring how resistance shows up when energy is ready to move into form and how Reiki supports divinely guided action in real life. Manifestation often feels clear at the vision level, yet challenging at the action level. In this conversation, we explore how resistance can signal readiness rather than failure, how courage and trust develop through movement, and how clarity often unfolds after taking the next step. This discussion offers grounded, practical insight into working with Reiki during moments of hesitation, uncertainty, and decision-making. We talk about listening to Reiki energy, honoring different ways people experience guidance, and recognizing that inspired action does not require certainty or perfection. Topics covered include: Understanding resistance as part of the manifestation process Listening to Reiki and inner guidance for next steps Trusting action without forcing outcomes Moving through fear, hesitation, and overwhelm Taking small, meaningful steps in daily life Working with Reiki during cycles of inspiration, pause, and renewal The session includes a guided Reiki journey that supports letting go at the River of Life, receiving guidance at the Tree of Life, and identifying clear actions in the Field of Opportunity. Automatic writing is offered as an optional way to listen more deeply to guidance during the journey. This video is part of our ongoing Reiki manifestation series and is suitable for Reiki practitioners, students, and anyone interested in using Reiki for clarity, confidence, and aligned action.

The old retail calendar is dead. Between TikTok virality, celebrity sightings, and ChatGPT-powered discovery, brands face a new reality: commerce runs on culture's clock. Nicole Thomas (Brex) and Anand Mehta (Melio) break down how this shift from predictable peaks to perpetual possibility demands radical financial agility.Key takeaways:Retail shifted from twice-yearly peaks to monthly cultural spikes brands can't predictCash conversion cycle reveals hidden supplier payment leverage beyond inventory optimizationCredit card float extends working capital without compounding traditional loan debtLiquidity separates trend leaders from trend chasers regardless of business sizeKey Quotes:Nicole Thomas [00:06:27]: "Seasonality is kind of taking shape in the way that it's less of like these ebbs and flows maybe twice a year to maybe once a month. If your product goes viral or if a celebrity endorses something, your consumers are now expecting to get those products when they want it."Anand Mehta [00:22:17]: "Costco managed to have a very low, if not negative cash conversion cycle because their store is the warehouse. They've already sold and converted their inventory to cash before they even have to pay it out."Nicole Thomas [00:37:06]: "Commerce is definitely making a big shift to flattening out, but not flattening out enough to where you can actually predict those peaks and valleys. We're definitely shifting from a calendar economy to more of a cultural economy."Anand Mehta [00:32:14]: "This use case of extending cash flow isn't just for businesses who are struggling. If you're a brand that is very liquid, having that cash buffer allows you to be a brand that's jumping in on a trend in the early stages of the trend, not chasing a trend."In-Show Mentions:Learn more about BrexLearn more about MelioCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Let Me Be Frank | Bishop Frank Caggiano's Podcast | Diocese of Bridgeport, CT
The Holy Spirit is on the move. Bishop Caggiano has observed that there is a turning of the tide, a window of opportunity, a newfound openness to the Catholic faith in people who were not open just a few years ago. There are quantitative and qualitative signs… a perfect storm of events and circumstances coming together that bode very hopefully for the growth of the Catholic faith. What does this perfect storm mean? What caused it? How do we take advantage of it? Bishop Frank looks at a number of factors, including: demographic shifts, the strength of the Church on the continent of Africa, and economic realities in the US… how should we respond to this window of opportunity?

Love Your People Well™ - Christian Marriage, Motherhood, and Family Life
Build A Home Of Godliness And Joy with the devotional workbook. Episode 284 // Want the key to enjoying family life? It's not a secret. In fact, it's right in Ephesians 5, in a short and simple passage we'll be looking at together today. The Lord tells us to “be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise.” He gives us opportunities to love our family and deepen our relationships - this is how we enjoy them more! He makes his will known to us in the Bible, and when we are wise, we pay attention and live it out. Of course, simple does not mean easy. “The days are evil,” the same Bible passage tells us. Family relationships include miscommunication, disappointment, stress, and overwhelm. We live in a busy, distracting world. So let's come together today for some biblical encouragement in how to “be very careful,” to be wise, and to live intentionally in ways that honor our Lord, bless our family, and bring us greater joy.

Tom Stokes, president of EpiCity Real Estate Services, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the company's 90-year legacy in Atlanta and how its founding philosophy of stewardship translates to thoughtful development and adaptive reuse. Stewardship of the Land as a Business Philosophy Celebrating 90 years in business offers a rare opportunity to reflect on both history and progress. EpiCity's story began with founder Davis Lee Stokes, who grew up in rural Middle Georgia in the early 1900s, dependent on the land for survival. That connection left a lasting impression and continues to shape the company’s approach to development. Tom Stokes explains that his grandfather was a forward-thinking entrepreneur who embraced new ideas rather than resisting them. While today's Atlanta — particularly its technology-driven real estate environment — might feel worlds apart from the city of the 1920s, Stokes believes his grandfather would be more appreciative than surprised by how much has changed. At the core of EpiCity's longevity is a simple but powerful principle: take care of the land, and it will take care of you. While that idea once meant survival, today it reflects a broader responsibility to builders, homeowners and the communities they serve. Stokes shares that stewardship now extends beyond the company itself. By thoughtfully developing and maintaining properties, EpiCity aims to benefit the people who live and work in those spaces. “We take care of the land, not so much to take care of ourselves, but to take care of our customers and our clients, who in turn take care of us,” Stokes said. Risk & Opportunity in the Atlanta Market EpiCity's history includes bold decisions that helped shape Atlanta long before certain neighborhoods became obvious growth centers. From Marietta to Decatur to communities south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the company often developed in areas others considered too far out. Stokes credits that entrepreneurial instinct to his cousin and business partner, Jim LaVallee, who shares their grandfather's ability to spot opportunity through constant networking and information gathering. That willingness to listen, learn and act on emerging trends remains a defining element of the company's approach to risk and reward. Following World War II, EpiCity played a significant role in providing housing for returning veterans and the growing middle class. One of the firm's largest historical projects, the Lindmont and Morningside apartments near Lindbergh and Piedmont roads, exemplified that mission. At the time, the 510-unit development was considered one of the largest residential projects of its kind in the region. Today, it serves as a reminder that meeting real community needs has always been central to the firm's success. That legacy continues as EpiCity develops new projects in many of the same neighborhoods where its founder once built, creating continuity across generations. Adaptive Reuse Before It Was a Buzzword Adaptive reuse has become a defining focus for EpiCity, not because it is trendy, but because it often makes economic and practical sense. Stokes emphasized that many reuse projects begin by recognizing the value already embedded in existing structures. “With a building that's functional but closer to redevelopment than not, you have to figure out how to be economical and use what's there,” Stokes said. Rather than defaulting to demolition, EpiCity looks for opportunities to preserve architectural character and extend the useful life of buildings until the market supports full redevelopment. Armour Junction is an early example of that philosophy. The office loft campus is home to several Atlanta businesses and is located just steps from the Atlanta Beltline. EpiCity assembled dozens of parcels near the Beltline in its early days, including single-family homes throughout Westside neighborhoods. Today, the continued expansion of the Northeast Trail and planned future connections only enhance the value and connectivity of projects like Armour Junction, reinforcing the firm's long-term, forward-looking approach. Lessons From Market Cycles and Looking Ahead Over nine decades, EpiCity has weathered wars, economic downturns and dramatic shifts in the real estate cycle — lessons that continue to inform how the firm operates today. Stokes succinctly summed up one enduring principle: less debt is better. Maintaining financial discipline allows the company to navigate uncertainty while staying prepared for long-term opportunities. While optimistic about Atlanta's future, Stokes says EpiCity is approaching the current cycle with caution, focused on positioning itself to deliver value when opportunities arise. That mindset, grounded in gratitude and long-term thinking, continues to shape the firm's outlook. “I really thought about it, and it occurred to me, it's the company that's kept the family together,” Stokes said. “By having that extra connectivity, those of us who are invested in the business and work in the business have one more reason to be connected.” Tune in to the full episode to learn how EpiCity Real Estate Services is carrying forward a 90-year legacy of thoughtful development, adaptive reuse and land stewardship across Atlanta.
