I don't end many podcasts by inviting someone to come hang out at the farm, but this was one of those conversations. In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Engasser, a bestselling author, speaker, and coach who's built and led a seven-figure sales team…all while being blind since birth.  This isn't a “feel good” story. This is a wake-up call. We talk about what it actually takes to succeed when the odds aren't in your favor, how to stay aware of opportunities most people completely miss, and why building the right systems is the difference between being stuck and having real freedom. Patrick also shares powerful perspective shifts around adversity- how the very thing you think is holding you back might actually be your greatest advantage. And yeah…we even get into guide dogs.  If you've been waiting for the “right time” or better circumstances… this episode will challenge that hard.   Find Patrick at www.TalkwithPatrick.com  If I Can Do It, You Can Do It!: Inspiration for Eliminating Excuses, Overcoming Challenges, and Succeeding in Business and Life by Patrick Engasser https://amzn.to/4cIg1VH    Things mentioned in the show: 10X is Easier than 2X by Dan Sullivan https://amzn.to/4mErRok  4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss https://amzn.to/4cB3XFF  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey https://amzn.to/489fc72  Goals: How to Get the Most Out of Your Life by Zig Ziglar https://amzn.to/4twO7mY  The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer https://amzn.to/4cX7rUk    --- Click here to change your life- http://eepurl.com/gy5T3T   Hit me up for a one-on-one brainstorming session- https://militaryimagesproject.com/products/brainstorming-session-1-hour    Check out my Linktree for different ways to rock your world! https://linktr.ee/ruggeddad    Check out the sweet Hyper X mic I'm using. https://amzn.to/41AF4px    Check out my best-selling books: Rapid Skill Development 101- https://amzn.to/3J0oDJ0 Streams of Income with Ryan Reger- https://amzn.to/3SDhDHg Strangest Secret Challenge- https://amzn.to/3xiJmVO This page contains affiliate links.

The Academy of Management has just moved the next AOM conferences outside of the United States. The Association for Information Systems has been rotating the International Conference for Information Systems between three different regions for many years. Picking conference locations seems to be hard, and pretty political—or not? What are the criteria by which academic conferences are selected and what are those by which they should be selected? We discuss a few different ways how conferences and academic programs could be organized. References Alvesson, M., & Sandberg, J. (2024).

What happens when artificial intelligence advances faster than society's ability to adapt? And what role should nonprofits, faith leaders, and technology providers play in shaping a future that remains deeply human?  In this episode, Nathan and Scott reflect on key discussions from the Virtuous User Summit, where AI emerged as a central theme for the nonprofit sector. They examine the unique culture of collaboration within nonprofits and the responsibility of technology partners to support missions that serve the common good. A major focus is the Pope's recent encyclical on AI, which raises concerns about the concentration of power, the dehumanizing potential of unchecked technology, and the need for ethical safeguards.   The conversation also explores AI-driven workforce disruption, growing demand for nonprofit services, and the sector's readiness to respond to these challenges. Beyond the risks, Nathan and Scott highlight practical opportunities for AI adoption, encouraging leaders to move beyond fear, fatigue, and FOMO through experimentation and curiosity. They discuss emerging AI models, personalized AI assistants, knowledge-management tools, and automation that can free people to focus on creativity and relationships.     HIGHLIGHTS [01:30] AI's Moral Imperative and Nonprofit Sector Challenges  [04:23] Pope's Encyclical on AI and Its Implications  [10:18] Nonprofit Sector's Preparedness for AI Disruption  [20:44] Practical AI Adoption and Overcoming Challenges  [25:51] New AI Models and Their Capabilities  [31:56] AI Tools and Personalized AI   [38:00] AI's Impact on Society and Ethical Considerations  Connect with Nathan and Scott:  LinkedIn (Nathan): linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/  LinkedIn (Scott): linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans  Website: fundraising.ai/  Obsidian: Obsidian.md/

Nehemiah 4:1-12 ESV Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building—if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” Hear, O our God, for we are despised. Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives. Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from your sight, for they have provoked you to anger in the presence of the builders. So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work. But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry. And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it. And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night. In Judah it was said, “The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.” And our enemies said, “They will not know or see till we come among them and kill them and stop the work.” At that time the Jews who lived near them came from all directions and said to us ten times, “You must return to us.”

When difficulties arise, it is easy to ask, “Why is this happening to me?” A better question is, “What is this teaching me?”Every setback contains a lesson.Every struggle contains an opportunity.Every challenge contains the possibility of growth.

Látni kell, nem szabad elrejteni."En: Áron replied with a smile: "Your art is valuable. It must be seen, not hidden."Hu: A kihívások nem álltak itt meg.En: The challenges did not stop there.Hu: Az idő rohamléptekkel közeledett a rendezvény napjához, és Áron segítséget keresett a helyi művészek között.En: The day of the event was approaching rapidly, and Áron sought assistance among local artists.Hu: Mindenki részt akart venni a kezdeményezésben, bár az időjárás-előrejelzés esőt jósolt.En: Everyone wanted to be part of the initiative, even though the weather forecast predicted rain.Hu: Amikor elérkezett a nagy nap, a felhők összegyűltek az égen.En: When the big day arrived, clouds gathered in the sky.Hu: Az emberek izgatottan gyülekeztek a hídon, de a sötét felhők baljósan tornyosultak.En: People gathered excitedly on the bridge, but dark clouds loomed ominously.Hu: Hirtelen lezúdult az eső.En: Suddenly, the rain poured down.Hu: Áron azonban gyorsan reagált.En: However, Áron reacted quickly.Hu: Felállították a műveket a híd alá, így megvédve őket a nedvességtől.En: They set up the works under the bridge, thus protecting them from moisture.Hu: Az emberek közelebb húzódtak, megnézték a műveket, ami intimebbé tette az élményt.En: People drew closer to examine the artworks, making the experience more intimate.Hu: Az eső dobolt a Duna felszínén, mindeközben az alkotások nyújtottak vigaszt és szépséget.En: The rain drummed on the Duna's surface while the creations offered solace and beauty.Hu: Esztert lenyűgözte Áron rugalmassága és kitartása.En: Eszter was impressed by Áron's flexibility and determination.Hu: Látta, hogy nem csak a művek, hanem Áron szervezési képessége is figyelemre méltó.En: She saw that not only the artworks, but also Áron's organizational skills were remarkable.Hu: Zsófia festményei pedig vonzották az érdeklődő szempárokat és elismerő szavakat.En: Zsófia's paintings drew interested glances and words of praise.Hu: A nap végére Áron magabiztosabbá vált.En: By the end of the day, Áron became more confident.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy a nehézségek leküzdhetők.En: He learned that challenges can be overcome.Hu: Zsófia is újfajta bizalomra lelt művészetében.En: Zsófia also found a new sense of confidence in her art.Hu: "Talán mégis érdemes folytatni," gondolta magában.En: "Perhaps it's worth continuing after all," she thought to herself.Hu: A nap vége baráti mosolyokkal és hálás szavakkal telt.En: The day ended with friendly smiles and grateful words.Hu: A híd alatt új barátságok és új lehetőségek születtek.En: Under the bridge, new friendships and new opportunities were born.Hu: A budapesti tavasz egy újabb emlékezetes napot adott ajándékba a városlakóknak.En: The Budapest spring gifted the city's residents with another memorable day.

Avoid MUA in Alabama (Cindy’s Story) A Report from Program host, Mary Elliott In this episode of The Bee’s Knees, I hosted an inspiring conversation with Cindy, a remarkable individual who recently underwent total knee replacement surgery. Her journey is not just about the surgery itself, but also the challenges and triumphs that came along with her recovery. Cindy candidly opens up about her struggles post-surgery, specifically her frustration with the limited range of motion she was experiencing despite weeks of intensive physical therapy, where she could only achieve 72 to 74 degrees of flexibility in her knee. Feeling disheartened, she decided to seek a different approach after being warned by her doctor about the potential necessity of a manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) if her progress did not improve. As Cindy shares her story, she reveals how her turning point came during a visit to her beach house with friends, where the conversation shifted to alternatives to MUA. This led her to discover the X10 Therapy machine, which promised to provide a less invasive solution to regain her knee’s mobility without the pain and risks associated with surgical manipulation. Determined to avoid MUA, Cindy took action, deciding to try the X10 despite being nearly nine weeks post-surgery — a crucial time frame for optimal recovery. X10 Therapy I delve into the specifics of the X10 therapy, explaining how it operates by gently moving the leg just below the pain threshold, which can be particularly effective if used early in the recovery process. Cindy emphasizes the importance of starting therapy as soon as possible, which she advocates based on her own experience. She discusses the significant commitment she made, incorporating three sessions of X10 therapy into her daily routine. Each session, lasting about 30 minutes, proved to be more productive than hours spent in traditional physical therapy, allowing her to feel immediate relief and encouragement as she watched her progress unfold. Overcoming Challenges | A Happy and Surprised Surgeon Cindy illustrates her journey out of frustration and toward newfound confidence as she tracked her range of motion improvement. Initially starting at 50 degrees, she reached an astounding 110 degrees within just four weeks of consistent therapy, much to her delight and her doctor’s surprise. The overwhelming joy she felt walking into her doctor’s office after such remarkable progress is palpable in her recounting, confirming that her reluctance to keep her doctor informed turned out to be a non-issue as he fully supported her newfound success with the X10. The discussion also touches on Cindy’s transformation beyond physical recovery. She reflects on how regaining mobility removed the fear of disappointment and limitations, allowing her to reconnect with her family and indulge in activities she once thought were beyond her reach. With an optimistic outlook, Cindy expresses her enthusiasm for undergoing the same process for her right knee, fully ready to embrace her second round of rehabilitation with the X10. This episode not only shares Cindy’s incredible recovery story but also highlights the power of perseverance, open-mindedness, and the pursuit of alternative solutions in the face of medical challenges. Join us as we celebrate her journey to reclaiming a vibrant life post-surgery.

Confidence, clarity, and speaking when it matters.Confident communication isn't about being the loudest in the room. For Susie Wolff, it's about displaying assurance before you even open your mouth.Wolff is a former professional race car driver, managing director of F1 Academy, and author of Driven. Throughout her career in one of the world's most male-dominated industries, she's learned that confidence starts within. “If you want others to believe in you, you need to at least have confidence in your own abilities,” she says. By letting her capabilities speak for themselves, Wolff felt she didn't have to. “I was never the loudest voice in the room. But I made sure when I did speak that I really had something to say.”In this special episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Tiggy Valen, Wolff shares how inner drive creates outer clarity. From delivering hard truths with empathy to achieving buy-in for a bold vision, Wolff offers lessons on communicating with confidence, even in the face of stiff competition.Episode Reference Links:Susie WolffSusie's Book: DrivenTiggy ValenPaddock ProjectEp.235 Refine, Reframe, Repeat: Make Your Communication a Slam Dunk  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:06) - Early Motorsport Passion (04:01) - Finding Your Voice (05:33) - Building Confidence (06:28) - Becoming a Leader (08:48) - Cross-Cultural Communication (09:57) - Building F1 Academy (14:20) - Giving Tough Feedback (17:32) - Embracing Discomfort (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (26:18) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

"Don't do it alone, because that's the only way you can have resilience and never give up. Entrepreneurship is a lonely, one-man band, but only if you let it be that way. You have a choice. Choose to do it well with the help and support of the people around you, who can help you get there." —Sophie Zollmann    Burnout creeps in fast when revenue stalls, passion fades, and pressure keeps rising. Many entrepreneurs stay stuck in survival mode, clinging to old strategies while the market races ahead.  This episode dives into the hard pivots, bold bets, and quiet breakdowns behind a truly resilient entrepreneur mindset.

After speaking with Shane Watson, i9 Sports franchise owner, my perspective on youth sports shifted. His daughter was shy and quiet at age 4. Instead of pushing her or rushing into one sport, they let her try multiple sports — soccer, baseball, basketball — in a low-pressure environment. Over time, her confidence grew. She started speaking up, engaging more, and showing up differently. This short note reminds us: Sports aren't just about performance — they're about building identity and confidence. Most parents focus on talent and early specialization. But real growth happens when kids feel safe enough to try, fail, and try again. Confidence isn't the result of being the best… it's the starting point. The right environment doesn't just develop athletes — it develops confident people.

In this episode, Ashley discusses the deeper meaning behind what she calls “initiations” — periods in life where everything feels unstable, overwhelming, or out of alignment. Rather than viewing these moments as setbacks, she presents them as necessary stages of transformation. She explores how patterns in relationships, emotions, and behaviors often repeat because they are rooted in deeper conditioning, including generational and ancestral influences. Through awareness, these patterns can begin to shift, allowing for new choices and outcomes. Ashley shares a personal experience that illustrates how healing can extend beyond the individual and impact family lineage. She also reflects on the emotional challenges many people face today, particularly the rise in stress, anxiety, and disconnection, and how intentional practices can support the integration process. Key tools discussed include breathwork, hypnosis, movement, and other practices that help regulate the body and shift internal states. She emphasizes the importance of embodiment — not just understanding insights intellectually, but applying them through aligned thoughts, emotions, and actions. The episode also highlights the importance of clarity. Many people are aware of what they do not want but struggle to define what they do want. By identifying clear desires and aligning beliefs with those desires, individuals can begin to create meaningful change. This conversation invites listeners to take an active role in their growth and step into a more conscious, self-directed way of living. KEY TAKEAWAYS Challenging experiences can serve as catalysts for growth Repeating patterns often stem from deeper conditioning Awareness is essential for creating change Healing can influence both personal and generational patterns Alignment between thoughts, emotions, and actions supports transformation RESOURCES AND LINKS Website:https://formationenergetix.com/ Guided Sessions:https://iambecomingweightless.com/guided_session-page Wheel of Fulfillment:https://iambecomingweightless.com/wheeloffulfillment-page Becoming Weightless Book:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GL6J1LKQ?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&bestFormat=true CONNECT WITH ASHLEY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyinspyrz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashleyinspyrz/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleyinspyrz Pinterest: https://pin.it/6ShQQcNmo Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gmQRrQ2Ck6Y6oa3pr4fIX?si=c69079c67ee84b3e Reality Inspyrd with Ashley Inspyrz explores real conversations around consciousness, creativity, healing, and personal transformation.

Many couples ask us this question: Why doesn't my marriage feel like it did in the beginning?The truth is, just like each year, our marriage has different seasons where intimacy can feel different. Passion can ebb. Connection sometimes requires effort. Somewhere along the way, we absorb the myth that a healthy marriage should always feel like spring, blossoming romance, effortless sex, deep conversation, constant emotional closeness.But real marriage isn't a single season. Like nature, your relationship moves through cycles. Emotional intimacy shifts, sexual desire fluctuates, and spiritual connection deepens, or feels quite distant at times. These changes aren't signs of failure, they're just natural signs of life. In this episode, we explore the infatuation stage, and the four seasons of marriage and intimacy and how to not only survive each season, but thrive. Understand the season you're in, stop panicking, and learn how to nurture your marriage through every stage.
