In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Chase Fisher, founder of Blenders Eyewear, for one of the most honest and energizing conversations we've had on the show. This episode challenges the grind narrative of entrepreneurship and explores a powerful but often dismissed truth. Fun is not fluff. Fun is leverage.From selling sunglasses out of a backpack to building a globally recognized lifestyle brand, Chase shares what actually mattered in the early days. Taste. Courage. Consistent action. And staying playful even when the stakes got heavy. This conversation is about building something real without losing yourself in the process.Timestamps00:00 – 03:45The question no one in business wants to askIs fun a distraction or a competitive advantage?03:46 – 09:20Backpack beginningsSelling sunglasses hand to hand and learning human psychology09:21 – 14:50Lifestyle before logosWhy Blenders was never just an eyewear company14:51 – 21:30Affordability as a weaponHow accessibility outperformed traditional luxury thinking21:31 – 28:10Fear, cash flow, and early pressureThe moments that almost broke the brand28:11 – 34:40Social media and bold executionHow the internet leveled the playing field34:41 – 41:20Partnerships and culture fitWhy alignment matters more than reach41:21 – 47:50Leadership under pressureHiring, firing, and learning to build teams47:51 – 54:30Systems without killing the soulScaling structure while protecting playfulness54:31 – 59:45Identity shifts and personal growthLetting go of ego to lead better59:46 – 1:05:30Failure as feedbackThe lessons that shaped Blenders' evolution1:05:31 – 1:11:00Advice for founders todayWhat Chase would double down on if he started againStandout Quotes• “I didn't start Blenders to build a massive company. I started it to solve a problem I personally had.”• “Fun isn't the opposite of discipline. It's often the fuel for it.”• “Selling sunglasses out of a backpack taught me more than any classroom ever could.”• “Brand is how people feel when they think about you.”• “You can't scale chaos forever, but you also can't kill the soul of what made you start.”• “Failure didn't stop us. It sharpened us.”• “If you enjoy what you're building, people feel that energy.”Key Takeaways• Fun can be a strategic advantage when paired with consistency and taste• You don't need permission to start, only the courage to act• Lifestyle brands win when they feel human and accessible• Early reps and direct sales build confidence faster than theory• Social media rewards authenticity and speed over polish• Partnerships should amplify values, not dilute identity• Systems should support creativity, not suffocate it• Growth requires evolving your leadership and identity• Failure is feedback, not a verdict• Building something you love creates energy people can feelIf this episode challenged the way you think about business, share it with a founder or creative who needs permission to build differently.Subscribe to ALLSMITH for weekly conversations on fitness, mindset, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle design.Follow Blenders Eyewear to see how culture, lifestyle, and fun continue to shape one of the most recognizable brands in the world.@chasefisher@blendersFollow Bryce and ALLSMITH for more conversations about forgiThank you for Listening!

In this episode, Giana Gambino and Bradshaw Wish record live from YogaRenew in Hoboken, NJ with Kate Lombardo and Patrick Franco.Together, they get real about yoga partnerships—how clear communication, shared values, and a mission rooted in community can create a collaboration that actually lasts. These four longtime teachers bring equal parts honesty and hilarity as they pull back the curtain on what it's like to be in a male–female platonic partnership: finding the right fit, defining roles, balancing responsibilities, and knowing when to call in backup.Expect behind-the-scenes stories, ridiculous retreat moments, and a few tangents (including a dog left out in the cold). If this industry has ever felt lonely or hard to navigate, this conversation is a reminder that with consistency, trust, and a willingness to try new things, you can carve out your niche, find your people, and build something bigger than yourself.Check out YogaRenew: @yogarenew | https://yogarenew.com/Patrick Franco Jr.: @patrickfrancojr | https://www.patrickfrancojr.com/Kate Lombardo: @kate.lombardo | https://www.katelombardo.com/Want to support our podcast?

In this episode of True Crimes Against Wine, the hosts dive into a messy roommate-turned-partner dispute about chores. After three years together, a couple split household duties by a rota: feeding three picky cats, handling bills, cleaning litter, doing the washing up, hoovering, and more. Tension explodes when one partner fails to hoover and forgets to put a new toilet roll on the holder. The other partner comes home furious, calling the lapse a betrayal, which leads to name-calling and talk of moving out. The hosts unpack compatibility, expectations around cleanliness, gendered chore dynamics, and whether the couple's split was inevitable. They tease more stories to come and invite listeners to send in their own juicy disputes.

EDUCATION REFORM AND THE AVOIDANCE OF A FEDERAL AI DEPARTMENT Colleague Kevin Frazier. Frazier argues for updating education, starting with teacher training in elementary schools and vocational partnerships in high schools, to prepare students for an AI future.

Agriculture is directly responsible for 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and farmers and ranchers face growing climate impacts every day, from more severe storms to intense droughts, making it harder to grow food.  The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates emissions from the agriculture sector will modestly increase over the next 30 years. Yet the Trump administration is slashing programs that help reduce emissions, feed people, protect farmworkers and animals and sensitive lands. In addition, the Trump administration's tariffs and trade wars have affected the cost of machinery and sales of major crops. What will these changes mean for our national food system? How are farmers weathering these impacts? And where are people building resilience regardless of federal policy?  Episode Guests: Lisa Held, Senior Staff Reporter and Contributing Editor, Civil Eats Megan O'Rourke, Congressional Candidate NJ07; Former USDA Scientist John Bartman, Illinois farmer Byron Kominek, Owner and Manager, Jack's Solar Garden Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 05:30 – Lisa Held on major climate and agriculture stories in 2025 07:30 – Climate change is making it harder to be a farmer 09:15 – Changes at USDA 15:00 – How SNAP cuts affect consumers and farmers/growers 18:30 – Trump admin penalizing efforts/grants that support DEI efforts in agriculture 24:00 – John Bartman shares his journey to regenerative agriculture 30:00 – Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities Program and cutbacks under Trump 34:30 – Trade war between China and US is hurting soybean sales and Amazon rainforest 37:10 – Byron Kominek on how he got into agrivoltaics and the benefits it offers 42:00 – Agrivoltaics is climate adaptation 51:20 – Megan O'Rourke on research around kernza, a perennial grain 54:00 – Most pressing challenges for agriculture right now 59:00 – Importance of food security at home and abroad, and role of US farmers 1:03:30 – Climate One More Thing For show notes , transcript, and related links, visit climateone.org/podcasts ****** Support Climate One by going ad-free!

Many of them were donorsNew analysis finds federal agencies halted or limited enforcement and prosecution, including many involving companies and individuals with ties to President Donald TrumpRipple, the cryptocurrency company behind XRP, donated $4.9 million — among the largest donation — to Trump's inauguration events. Shortly afterward, the Securities and Exchange Commission withdrew an appeal seeking nearly $2 billion in penalties against the company, settling instead for $125 million.After he and his wife donated $1.8 million to Trump's reelection, Trevor Milton — the CEO of electric vehicle startup Nikola, who was convicted in 2023 of defrauding investors — received a presidential pardon wiping out over $660 million in restitution. Milton's legal team included Attorney General Pam Bondi's brother, Brad Bondi.Amazon was facing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit for allegedly discriminating against pregnant workers. After Trump signed an April 2025 executive order directing agencies not to rely on disparate impact analysis — an important tool for proving discrimination — the EEOC then dismissed the case.The report details how Amazon donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund, made another $1 million in-kind donation by streaming the inauguration on Amazon Video, and is backing Trump's $300 million “Golden Ballroom” in the White House's East Wing. The company also announced a deal to stream The Apprentice, resulting in "unspecified" payments to Trump, who starred in and executive-produced the show. The company reportedly also paid $28 million to first lady Melania Trump for a documentary.What's more, Attorney General Pam Bondi worked as a registered lobbyist for Amazon in 2020 and 2021, while Trump ally Brian Ballard lobbied on Amazon's behalf in 2024.Trump tries to reduce CEO pay and halt billions in stock buybacks at defense contractorsTrump threatens to sideline Exxon from Venezuela's oil: 'They're playing too cute'Justice department opens investigation into Jerome Powell as Trump ramps up campaign against Federal ReserveFed chair accuses DoJ of threatening criminal charges over building renovation projects because central bank defied Trump's interest rate demandsGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: MacKenzie Scott is using her $26 billion philanthropy push to rescue organizations in danger after the Trump administration's funding cutsMM: RFK Jr.'s Health Department Is Studying Health Effects of CellphonesNot that there are any doctors there, or that anything they do anymore is science, BUT THIS IS GREATEven if they end up with spurious research that says “your cellphone and wifi will give you ballsack cancer”, it means less phones, less online, and happier humans with human friends and going outside moreAssholiest of the Week (MM):Brian Cornell“That could have been one of my Target team members”.“We have to be the role models that drive change and our voice is important.

Bill Ackman DR The woman shot in the face was apparently NOT innocent until proven guilty, or at least Bill can't find a way to get her any money because “her GoFundMe had closed”... also, she's deadAckman needs to get punched in the mouth - no one should care what he thinks about anything, every, at all. He's the worst kind of blowhard - has he ever offered a full throated defense of a blank person? A woman he's not married to who's not on Fox News? Does he ever admit he's wrong, biased, or a fucking hypocrite? Oh, but he says we all are? Shut. Your. Mouth.But Ackman is part of a bigger problem - at this point you are either aiding ICE's tactics, which have crossed fully into unaccountable personal army of the US dictator, or you're not aiding them.

Rather than treating vendor relationships as transactional, the conversation reframes them as extensions of professional reputation. Dr. Vorholt shares how showing up with integrity, delivering real clinical value, and maintaining a long-term perspective opens doors to mentorship, education opportunities, and meaningful collaboration over time. This episode emphasizes that credibility is earned quietly, relationships compound slowly, and the most impactful partnerships are rooted in alignment — not promotion. Key Highlights: Relationships Over Transactions – Why long-term trust matters more than short-term opportunities Credibility Comes First – How clinical consistency and professionalism build real leverage The Long Game – Why patience, alignment, and reputation shape sustainable partnerships

Most people are struggling in modern relationships, and it is not because they are broken. It is because the systems around them are. In this episode, you'll learn why roughly 65 percent of people operate from insecure attachment, why that quietly destroys energy, trust, and intimacy, and how secure attachment becomes a critical biohacking upgrade for human performance, longevity, and emotional resilience. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Adam Lane Smith, MA Psych, a leading global expert on Attachment Theory and the neurobiology of human bonding. Adam has spent over 16 years studying and working in psychology, helping individuals, couples, and families repair broken relationships, rebuild trust, and develop secure attachment. His work focuses on skill-based nervous system training rather than talk therapy alone, often creating change in months instead of years. He now runs a global coaching practice and is on a mission to bring secure attachment to one billion people worldwide. Together, Dave and Adam break down why modern dating, career pressure, and social isolation have produced a generation of adults who feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. They explain how insecure attachment keeps people operating at low capacity, why bonding hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin regulate stress, sleep optimization, and emotional stability, and how broken attachment patterns sabotage metabolism, focus, and recovery. The conversation also covers AI companionship, dating apps, community collapse, and why no supplement, nootropic, fasting protocol, ketosis strategy, or carnivore diet can fully compensate for unsafe nervous systems. You'll Learn: • Why 65 percent of people struggle with modern relationships • How insecure attachment caps energy, focus, and emotional resilience • Why secure attachment matters more as you age, not less • How bonding hormones regulate stress, sleep, and recovery • Why high performers still burn out without nervous system safety • How men and women experience attachment and regulation differently • Why AI and dating apps can worsen disconnection if used poorly • How community and shared purpose rebuild secure attachment • Why supplements and nootropics cannot replace real connection • Where to start if you want stronger relationships and higher capacity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Hey Friends~  Today's conversation is unusual for this podcast, but an important one. Over half of marriages end in divorce, and about 30% of those become high-conflict - deeply impacting children. This week, I'm joined by Lisa Johnson, a high-conflict divorce coach, to unpack the often-misunderstood topic of coercive control. We talk about what it is, the red flags within relationships, how it shows up during divorce and custody battles. We also explore Jennifer's Law. We discuss how it recognizes the many non-physical forms of abuse. Lisa shares how children are victims, used as weapons in adult conflict, along with ways parents can begin rebuilding secure bonds after trauma. ⚠️ Listener Advisory: This episode covers sensitive material and is intended for a mature audience. Parents should use discretion with younger listeners.  I still hope you TUNE IN!  Because understanding coercive control could make a life-changing difference for you or someone you love. Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   ABOUT THE GUEST:   Lisa Johnson is the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high conflict divorce strategist and certified domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself through scores of court appearances.

If you're running multiple locations, growth alone isn't the flex anymore - value is. In this week's episode of the Group Practice Accelerator Podcast, Jamie brings back Partnership & Equity Solutions Executive, Mark Flock, for straight talk about what it really takes to be ready for 2026. From strategic partnerships to equity decisions that either multiply or quietly destroy value, this conversation is for owners who are thinking beyond “more locations” and toward leverage, optionality, and long-term payoff. If your practice is scaling, the question is no longer can you grow, it's whether your structure is making the business more valuable or more complicated. If you want a business that gives you leverage, options, and power (not just more responsibility), this episode will change how you think about growth.

Ben Bowell and Jessy Beckett Parr discuss the program's origins, goals, and the collaborative efforts of various organizations involved. They highlight the importance of technical assistance, mentorship, and community building in fostering a successful organic farming network. The discussion also touches on the program's impacts, future sustainability, and the significance of respect and collaboration in achieving a better world for agriculture.Takeaways:TOPP is a USDA initiative with a $100 million budget.The program aims to support farmers transitioning to organic practices.Collaboration among organizations is key to the program's success.Technical assistance includes one-on-one support and mentorship.The program has reached thousands through various educational events.Farmers are compensated for mentoring new organic farmers.The program is designed to be community-based and regionally tailored.Future funding and sustainability are ongoing concerns for the program.The program aims to increase domestic organic production to meet consumer demand.The national partners are Organic Farmers Association, Trade Association, and Arizona State University Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems.The Regional Leads are Oregon Tilth, CCOD, OCIA, MOSA, Florida Organic Growers, and PCO.Modern Species developed their 2025 Impact Report which helped them secure the remainder of their grant after the government funding freeze.Sound bites:“If there's already the organic demand, we just need to meet the supply domestically.”“People in the United States who are inside of larger agricultural corporations, food-based corporations, see the disconnect and the need to invest resources in domestic supply and production.”“We all cooperatively wrote the organic standards together, along with other movement aligned groups in the 90s.”“One of the emergent themes for us of this work has been how important the network itself is and how keeping people in collaboration across organizations and state boundaries supports all of our success.”“I love hearing the stories of the farmer to farmer sharing. It's really powerful.”“I really feel like a better world looks like a world that's full of respect, for the people, for the planet and its delicate balance of biology and ecology.”"It's about continuous improvement."Links:Transition to Organic Partnership Program - https://www.organictransition.org/Impact Report for Transition to Organic Partnership Program - https://www.organictransition.org/impact-report/Ben Bowell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-bowell-85901a1b3/Jessy Becket Parr on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessy-beckett-parr-a5a681185/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Introduction to the Transition to Organic Partnership Program04:33 Understanding the Transition to Organic Partnership Program07:57 The Role of Partnerships in Organic Transition09:07 Regional Partners and Their Selection Process11:31 Goals and Objectives of the Transition to Organic Partnership Program15:20 Highlights and Accomplishments of the Program20:14 The Importance of Collaboration and Community23:37 Managing a Successful Collaborative Program26:54 Getting Involved in the Program29:13 Who is the Program For?31:06 Free Resources and Support for Farmers32:16 Future Plans for the Program35:00 Funding Opportunities and Strategies37:36 Advice for Collective Action and CollaborationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textWhat if kindness could rebuild a city block by block—and it started with a free concert? We sit down with Stephan Palmer, founder and CEO of Youth on Fire, to trace the journey from community shows in Hartford to a full-scale mentoring and family support network changing how youth grow, learn, and lead. Stephan's approach is disarmingly simple: build trust first, then layer in faith, academics, and real-world creativity. When a mentor says, “We're the GPS; you pick the destination,” kids stop bracing for judgment and start mapping their futures.You'll hear how a silent middle schooler lit up over Naruto and, session by session, found his voice, his footing, and a passion for service—now volunteering at coat and school supply drives and bringing friends into the fold. We dig into Hartford's unique pressures—parents working multiple jobs, kids feeling unseen—and how Youth on Fire answers with relevant skills: music production, fashion design, podcasting, branding, and entrepreneurship. Cross-promotion becomes a classroom, and collaboration becomes a credential. As confidence rises, grades follow, and the spark of possibility grows into a plan.Partnerships make the model scalable. Schools secured grants and Apple labs that transformed a single laptop into a media hub. A cosmetology school and a retailer help single dads step into interviews with dignity. State leaders supported licensing, MOUs, and family-centered work that stabilizes homes and lifts outcomes. Stefan shares future plans to add a women's component and thoughtfully expand beyond Connecticut, while keeping the core promise intact: listen deeply, act practically, and let youth leadership drive the ripple effect.If stories of real transformation give you hope, this one delivers—with concrete tools, candid moments, and a roadmap any community can adapt.

In this week's episode, I sit down with my husband, Jonathon Schaech, for a candid look into marriage, money, identity, and creative purpose. Together, we unpack what our financial fights have really been about, how fear shows up for each of us, and why trust — not control — has become the foundation of our partnership. Jon shares openly about the evolution of his career, the impact sobriety has had on his life and work, and how our move to Nashville restored a sense of peace he didn't even realize he was missing. We talk honestly about what it looks like to support each other's dreams without competition, how we navigated my many business reinventions, and why letting go — of perfectionism, chaos, and old stories — has expanded everything from our marriage to our creative expression. This conversation is especially for the women whose partners may not yet fully understand their entrepreneurial dreams. We reflect on the values that have carried us through 13 years of growth — faith, honesty, sovereignty, and mutual respect — and what it means to choose each other again and again.

   This special episode of WarDocs celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps by featuring four distinguished commanders: Colonel Margaret Berryman, Colonel Crystal Belew, Colonel Sarah Eccleston, and Colonel Briana Perata. Each guest shares her personal journey from commissioning to leading complex medical formations, highlighting how their foundational experiences as a nurse prepared them for the rigors of command.     Colonel Berryman introduces her "Five Ps" leadership philosophy—People, Purpose, Preparation, Partnership, and Performance—emphasizing that people are the military's greatest competitive advantage. Colonel Belew discusses the importance of proactive thinking learned in the operating room and her philosophy of "authentically caring" for both the mission and the personnel.  Colonel Eccleston reflects on building resiliency as a critical care nurse during peak conflict periods in Iraq and Afghanistan, advising leaders to "grow where they are planted" by excelling in every assigned role. Finally, Colonel Perata outlines her "Three Pillars" of leadership: Grit, Growth, and Grace. She emphasizes the necessity of grit in making difficult decisions, the continuous need for leader development and feedback for growth, and the humanizing power of grace and humility. Collectively, these leaders demonstrate that the nursing profession fosters critical thinking, prioritization, and an unwavering focus on people—skills essential to successful command at any level.    The episode also highlights the profound impact of mentorship, showing how senior leaders can recognize potential and shape the careers of junior officers. These stories of dedication and service offer valuable lessons for all military medicine professionals, regardless of rank or corps.

She emphasizes how staff nursing and strategic roles taught her to prioritize frontline personnel and recognize that policies can be questioned and changed to meet the mission. (12:12-21:45) Operational Medical Support and Authentic Caring in Germany: Colonel Crystal Belew describes her role leading operational medical support in Europe and Africa, noting how her background as a perioperative nurse taught her to think proactively and stay steps ahead. Her leadership philosophy focuses on "authentically caring" by being who you truly are with your troops and genuinely valuing people over the mission alone. (21:45-37:44) Building Resiliency from the Bedside to Hospital Center Command: Colonel Sarah Eccleston explains how nursing inherently builds leadership through independent decision-making and flexibility, specifically citing her experiences in critical care during war as foundational to her resiliency. She shares a mentor's advice to "grow where you are planted," illustrating how excelling in less-desired roles can actually provide the most significant preparation for future command. (37:44-46:44) Grit, Growth, and Grace at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research: Colonel Briana Perata discusses how the Nurse Corps teaches prioritization and tough decision-making early on, which she buckets into the pillars of Grit, Growth, and Grace. She emphasizes accountability through grit, continuous leader development through growth, and humanizing leadership with grace and humble gratitude. Take Home Messages Prioritize People as a Competitive Advantage: Leaders must recognize that their personnel are their most valuable asset and that taking care of people directly enables the success of the mission. By focusing on individual needs and professional development, a commander can foster a team that naturally achieves high-performance results. Cultivate Proactive Thinking: Skills learned in clinical environments, such as the ability to anticipate needs and think several steps ahead, are directly transferable to medical command. Being proactive allows leaders to manage requirements effectively and remain prepared for unexpected mission shifts. Excel by Growing Where You Are Planted: Every military assignment has a purpose, even those that may not align with an officer's immediate desires or specialized background. Excelling in these roles builds a diverse portfolio of leadership experiences and often provides the most critical preparation for future command responsibilities. Lead with Grit, Growth, and Grace: Effective command requires the grit to make unpopular but necessary decisions and hold others accountable to high standards. This must be balanced with a commitment to continuous growth through feedback and the grace to lead with humility and genuine appreciation for the team. Authentically Care for Your Formation: Leadership is more than just a title; it is about making a human connection and genuinely caring for the personnel under your command. When leaders are authentic and focus on how they make their team members feel, they build trust, respect, and a more cohesive, high-functioning medical team.

Welcome back to Girl, Take the Lead! — the podcast where we reimagine leadership, challenge the status quo around aging, and share the conversations that help us break cycles, find our voice, and lead our lives with intention.Money is one of the most powerful — and most misunderstood — tools in our lives.And for many women, it's also one of the most stressful.In today's episode, we slow the conversation down and take the fear out of finances — replacing it with clarity, confidence, and choice.Our guest, Tiffany Irving, is a Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor at Mesirow Wealth Management with more than 25 years of experience working with high-net-worth individuals, families, and nonprofit organizations. She's also a proud mom of three and a fierce advocate for educating and empowering women and girls around money.Tiffany's journey into finance was shaped early — growing up with a single mom, watching financial stress up close, and quietly deciding that independence and stability would matter deeply in her own life. That lived experience now fuels her passion for helping women understand money not as something to fear — but as a tool to support the lives they want to build.In this grounded and empowering conversation, Yo and Tiffany explore what it really means to build financial confidence — intentionally.✨ In This Episode, We Explore:✨ From Silence to Strategy✨ Money as a Tool, Not a Test✨ Financial Confidence Across Generations✨ Partnership and the Money Conversation✨ The Myth of “I'm Not Wealthy Enough”✨ Why Written Plans Matter✨ Choosing an Advisor (and Asking the Right Questions)✨ What She'd Tell Her 20-Something Self

The episode explores what Ted calls “third party partnerships,” a Kingdom model where ministries unite not for their own benefit but for the sake of a third party, illustrated through a deep collaboration to reach the Tarahumara people of northern Mexico. Chris Nickerson of Light Shine shares how their long term work among this hard to reach, historically hope starved indigenous group has grown into indigenous church planting, after school discipleship programs, leadership development, and a staff made up of both Tarahumara believers and Mexican church members. He explains Light Shine's highly relational partnership model, where U.S. churches adopt a specific colonia as their primary mission field and Light Shine provides expertise, on the ground presence, and security wisdom in a cartel impacted region. Tonya Zunigha from Faith Bible Church in Edmond, Oklahoma describes how coaching from 16:15 helped reorient their missions vision and led them into a long term partnership with Light Shine that offers accessible short term trips, meaningful engagement with a least reached people group, and extensive pre-trip discipleship. As families, elders, retirees, and children pray, give, and go together, missions has become central to Faith Bible's DNA, reshaping their view of God, the nations, and their own calling, while Paul's prayer that the word of God would “run swiftly” is seen fulfilled among a people known for their running.

As more nations realize that space is no longer just a scientific domain but a foundation of economic power and national security, a new question is emerging: who will actually build the infrastructure that underpins it?

Francesca unfolds her own evolution from financial uncertainty to becoming a leading advisor and author, illustrating how her breakthrough came not from relentless striving, but from a fundamental shift in perspective.

Together, Fiona and Francesca illuminate a more holistic path to prosperity. They delve into: The Stories We Inherit: How unexamined beliefs about money, absorbed over a lifetime, can dictate your financial landscape, and the first steps to reclaiming that narrative. The Paradox of Slow: Why Francesca's conscious choice to de-celerate, focus, and shed external expectations resulted in her income multiplying, challenging the myth that more effort always equals more gain. Energy and Architecture: The essential balance between the receptive, creative flow of feminine energy and the supportive, structural framework of masculine planning—and how to cultivate both within your financial practice. From Passenger to Pilot: How to transition from feeling managed by your money to actively commanding it, transforming financial planning from a chore into a profound act of self-advocacy and freedom. At its heart, this discussion provides a relatable, step-by-step journey from financial uncertainty to empowered ownership.  Francesca details the philosophy behind her new book, Divine Wealth, and its practical framework, emphasizing the transformative roles of clarity, purpose, and celebration.

What do you do when life feels unfair and you're carrying consequences you didn't create? In this episode, I walk through the powerful story of the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4 and share what God showed me about provision, obedience, and justice when faithful people find themselves in impossible circumstances. This message is for you if you've been obedient, yet you're still dealing with lingering debt, emotional carryover from past seasons, or situations that feel deeply unfair. I talk about why God often asks the question, “What do you have in your house?” and how that question is an invitation to partner with Him, even when what you have feels small. We'll look at how obedience unlocks supernatural provision and how God honors faithfulness, even when the cost feels heavy. I also share how we can stand confidently on the righteousness of Jesus Christ and put a demand on God's promises when we need breakthrough, direction, or justice. In this episode, I cover: Why obedience is often the doorway to God's provisionHow to respond when you're affected by circumstances you didn't causeWhat the widow's oil teaches us about partnership with GodHow to trust God when you don't have clear answers yetWhy God's provision often overflows beyond the immediate need

For many of us complaining is just second-nature. It's what we do when we want things to be different or when we want someone to see our struggle. And yet, complaining has a natural byproduct of shutting other people down, especially when the complaint is directed towards them. When we can learn to express our wants and desires in ways other than complaining, we are much more likely to be heard and understood and create connection in our relationships rather than isolation and frustration.
