I was walking on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach and I spied some activity in what was a small French inspired restaurant which had closed months earlier. I decided to poke my head in a find you what was going on.  Greeted by a smiling, pleasant woman, I sat at the new wine bar named Malendrina. And the conversation ensued as I was completely taken by Amanda Azar and the story of her and her husbanc, Chuck and their venture into enrtrepreneurship. Amanda Azar may be the only person who can make "torturing" her partner with bad wine sound like a priceless education, but that's just the tip of the bottle here. In this episode, you'll enter the world of two hospitality visionaries who've poured sweat, soul, and every saved penny into their dream—a wine bar born from decades inside both the supplier and distributor trenches of the wine industry. You'll hear stories of failures—10,000 wine brands, 99% of them doomed—and how the real magic comes not from corporate playbooks or celebrity endorsements, but from relentless perseverance, deep culture, and a partnership fueled by passion, humor, and plenty of grape leaves. Here, a glass isn't just filled; it's accompanied by stories, family, and genuine warmth. There's inspiration in Amanda's Sicilian childhood, where wine was never taboo but a natural extension of family, food, and connection. Pair this with her partner's Palestinian heritage, and you'll witness how root-deep values of generosity and community shape not just the service but the heart behind it all. The episode uncorks what it truly means to build something together: overcoming headwinds, trusting each other's strengths, and redefining what success and hospitality can look like. And if you've ever wondered what working side-by-side with your spouse looks like when exhaustion and dreams are equally shared, you'll find insight—and camaraderie—at this table. Listen in and you will learn:

In this intimate intuitive flow, Amy Natalie maps out the evolution of her love life—from the people-pleasing "cool girl" to the empowered "worthy woman"—and how she called in her current era of Epic Love.Ditching the illusion of the "fairy tale" relationship, Amy breaks down her signature E.P.I.C. Love Method for the self-aware woman who refuses to settle for status quo partnerships. She shares raw, behind-the-scenes lessons from her marriage, divorce, and anxious attachment loops, revealing the exact somatic and mindset shifts required to stop overthinking romance, regulate the nervous system, and open up to a love that is deeply passionate, safe, and easeful.Themes:Redefining modern romance through Emotional attunement, Passion and pleasure, Intentional partnership, and authentic Connection/communication.Moving away from the illusion of the "ready-made king" and choosing a grounded partner who is simply willing to grow.Releasing the tendency to play small, self-abandon, and choose relationships based on how they look on paper.Reclaiming self-reliance, healing codependency, and exploring solo somatic pleasure after divorce.Moving past basic mental awareness into deep nervous system regulation to break the cycle of chasing emotionally unavailable men.Softening internal armor and soothing relationship anxiety to fully let in an aligned, adoring partner without self-sabotage.❤️‍

Не могу продати овај сат испод цене."En: "I have gathered antiques from all over the world. I can't sell this watch below price."Sr: Драгичин мали новчаник није могао да поднесе толику суму.En: Dragica's small wallet couldn't bear such a sum.Sr: Срце јој је тешко било. Почела је да се окреће да оде.En: Her heart felt heavy. She began to turn to leave.Sr: Али Милош је осетио нешто у њеној тврдоглавој младости, у тој страсти.En: But Miloš sensed something in her determined youth, in that passion.Sr: "Можда можемо направити договор."En: "Maybe we can make a deal."Sr: Драгичине очи су поново засијале са надом.En: Dragica's eyes shone again with hope.Sr: "Какав договор?"En: "What kind of deal?"Sr: "Ти имаш знање. Можеш ми помоћи да потврдим аутентичност других предмета које имам.En: "You have knowledge. You can help me verify the authenticity of other items I have.Sr: Зато, даш ми своју стручност, а ја ћу ти дати попуст."En: So, you give me your expertise, and I'll give you a discount."Sr: Драгица се насмејала. Понуда је била више него фер.En: Dragica laughed. The offer was more than fair.Sr: Прихватила је, платила је за сат и отишла срећна.En: She accepted, paid for the watch, and left happy.Sr: Као резултат тог договора, Милош је отворио своју малу антикварницу у срцу Београда.En: As a result of that deal, Miloš opened his own small antique shop in the heart of Beograd.Sr: Драгица, са више самопоуздања у свој комесарски таленат, стекла је драгоцено искуство.En: Dragica, with more confidence in her curatorial talent, gained valuable experience.Sr: Њихово партнерство је обећавало још много авантура.En: Their partnership promised many more adventures.Sr: Улоге су се спојиле у заједничком циљу – спашавање и прослава историје у малим, златним предметима прошлости.En: Their roles merged in a common goal – the rescue and celebration of history in the small, golden items of the past.

What is the greatest threat to our spiritual vibrancy? In this message, Pastor Ben Stuart teaches through Acts 19 and reminds us that following Jesus is more than knowing the right things or doing the right things. It is about loving Him with our whole hearts. When unconfessed sin and lesser loves begin to accumulate, they slowly choke out our intimacy with God and diminish the fullness of life He desires for us. When we see Jesus for who He truly is, the things we once feared losing begin to grow strangely dim. Join us as we study Acts 19 and discover what it looks like to return to our first love, remove the rivals, and follow Jesus with an undivided heart.

Why live music is essential to an authentic dance experience, and the importance of smaller, more intimate venues for both audiences and performers. What goes into commissioning new works and supporting emerging and established choreographers through the Chamber Dance Project. Why building a company is a marathon, not a sprint, and why patience and persistence are critical for growth in the arts. Diane Coburn Bruning, founder of Chamber Dance Project In 2000, choreographer Diane Coburn Bruning founded Chamber Dance Project, dancers & musicians in New York City guided by a conviction that dance should be performed with live music, that smaller venues afford a more intense experience for viewers and performers alike, and that sharing the creative process engages audiences on a deeper level.

In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Nema Williams, the passionate founder and visionary behind the impactful brand Love Pure Soul, to explore how he is transforming the world of social-impact retail. Through a dedicated commitment to spreading love, raising awareness, and providing vital support to the autism community, Williams has built a platform that transcends traditional commerce. During our conversation, he shares the deeply personal motivation behind his work and his vision for a more inclusive society where every individual is celebrated for their unique perspective. For Nema Williams, the inception of Love Pure Soul was fueled by a desire to foster neurodiversity and champion acceptance on a global scale. Throughout the interview, Williams highlights his "one piece at a time" philosophy, emphasizing that every item created by his brand serves as a tactile advocate for the autism community. He explains that his design process is intentional, aiming to create products that not only celebrate neurodivergent voices but also act as a catalyst for meaningful, everyday conversations regarding empathy and understanding. He believes that by weaving awareness into the fabric of daily life, he can help dismantle the stigmas often associated with autism. Williams also discusses the tangible impact of his brand, detailing how Love Pure Soul successfully bridges the gap between creative expression and corporate social responsibility. He is transparent about the brand's core business model: every purchase directly funds autism advocacy, essential educational initiatives, and accessible resources for families and individuals navigating the spectrum. For Williams, true success is not measured by traditional bottom-line metrics, but by the brand's ability to create a sustainable, growing pipeline of support for the neurodivergent community. He views his business as a powerful tool for good, proving that conscious consumerism can drive real-world change. Beyond the products themselves, Nema Williams envisions Love Pure Soul as a beacon of hope and advocacy in an increasingly crowded retail landscape. He speaks candidly about the challenges and triumphs of growing an advocacy-focused brand, noting that his ultimate motivation is rooted in how effectively he can amplify the voices of those often overlooked by mainstream society. By choosing to prioritize human impact over rapid expansion, Williams has cultivated a passionate community of supporters who are deeply invested in his mission to make the world a kinder, more equitable place for all. As the interview concludes, Williams encourages his listeners dto recognize that their individual shopping choices possess the power to collectively spark systemic change. By aligning personal values with the brands they support, consumers play a vital role in his mission. Through his unwavering dedication, Nema Williams continues to champion a future where understanding, acceptance, and inclusion are permanently integrated into our everyday lives, one thoughtful piece at a time.

What would you do if following Christ meant losing everything?In AD 203, two women from completely different backgrounds stood side by side in the Roman city of Carthage. Perpetua was a young noblewoman and new mother. Felicity was an enslaved woman who was eight months pregnant. Arrested for their Christian faith, they refused to deny Christ, even when faced with imprisonment, separation from their families, and ultimately death in the arena.In this episode of FACTS with Stephen Boyce and Pat May, we explore one of the earliest and most remarkable documents in Christian history—the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity. Part prison diary, part eyewitness account, this ancient text gives us a rare glimpse into the lives, faith, and courage of two women whose witness has inspired Christians for nearly eighteen centuries.We'll examine the historical setting of Roman North Africa, the persecution under Emperor Septimius Severus, Perpetua's emotional encounters with her father, Felicity's childbirth in prison, the visions recorded in the diary, their trial before the governor, and the powerful legacy they left behind. We'll also discuss what their story reveals about the early Church, martyrdom, prayer for the dead, baptism, and why their names are still spoken in the Roman Canon of the Mass today.Their story is more than history—it's a testimony to unwavering faith in the face of impossible odds.If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone interested in Church history and the early Christian faith.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7#ChurchHistory #Perpetua #Felicity #ChristianMartyrs #EarlyChurch #Catholic #ChristianHistory #Patristics #AncientChristianity #FACTSPodcastLink to their story: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0324.htm?utm

Throwback to one of my favorite conversations! That "spark" you're chasing? It might not be attraction… it might be a trauma response. I sat down with Dr. Scott Lyons to break down the difference between real, sustainable chemistry and what he calls the "trauma tingle,” that hyper-magnetic pull toward someone that actually has more to do with old wounds than genuine connection. We get into why the honeymoon-phase spark always fades (it's biochemistry, not a sign something's wrong), why "getting the spark back" might be the wrong goal entirely, and how to build the kind of attraction that actually deepens over time instead of burning out. If you've ever wondered whether you're in love or just chasing something familiar, this one's for you.

We explore digital identity, artificial intelligence, surveillance, media, politics, and the systems that influence how we think, before turning to the practical question of how Christians can respond.

This one is a throwback and the lessons still land hard.Michael Jones Sr is a master technician out of Charlotte, North Carolina, with a couple of decades in the automotive world before he gave it all up to go twist wrenches on motorcycles.He spent about ten years across nearly ten different powersports and motorcycle dealerships, and he came on the show to talk about something a lot of people in this industry feel but do not say out loud: the passion has slipped, and it is costing dealers money.In this conversation with, Michael makes the case that passion and professionalism are not soft ideas. They are directly tied to how profitable a service department is, how loyal customers become, and how a dealership stands out when everyone is pushing the same metal.What we cover:Why passion starts in the employee parking lot and how to spot a disconnectThe gun store comparison: why every employee there knows their product and why motorcycle shops often do notHow employee burnout and social media scrolling quietly drain the profitability of a service departmentThe parts-guy-at-the-bench workflow that saves the mechanic time and makes the shop more moneyWhy the 10-year-and-older rule is a mindset, not a fact, and what dealers miss by turning that work awayPulling back the curtain: why engaging service customers in how things work builds loyalty and repeat businessWhy so many younger customers have never been around machines and how dealers can bring them inMichael's own story as a customer and the service manager who always tells him what is nextWhy texting a customer the owner's manual PDF beats hoping they read the paper copyThe professionalism gap that separates a confident dealership from one that gets caught flat-footedThe Chrome Mafia story: how one independent shop built a riding culture that a four-brand, 30-year dealership could not matchWhy getting 30 to 40% of your staff riding changes everythingWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

When you hear the word zeal, what comes to mind? Anger? Passion? Intensity?In Matthew 21, Yeshua's holy zeal moves toward people, restores true worship, seeks lives that bear fruit, and patiently calls us to receive the Son. Join us this Shabbat as we explore one of the most powerful chapters in Matthew and ask a question that reaches every heart:As God's holy zeal has been revealed in Yeshua, is His holy zeal becoming my holy zeal?

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis sits down solo to unpack one of the most important success themes from nearly 2,000 episodes: thinking long term and staying in the game when most people tap out early. Rather than featuring a single guest, Travis pulls together stories and lessons from a diverse roster of past guests—comedians, pro athletes, coaches, and entertainers—who all built durable careers by embracing the long road. On this episode we talk about: Why “if you're not in the long game, you're in the wrong game” applies to money, business, and creative careers. Joe Gatto's “18‑year overnight success” story and the Impractical Jokers crew turning down a bigger MTV deal to bet on the long-term TrueTV opportunity. Drew Dunne's brick‑by‑brick approach to comedy and the power of saying no to distractions so you can build a skyscraper instead of popsicle-stick success. What the research on grit actually says—why passion plus perseverance beats raw IQ over long timelines. How Henry Ford's early failures, podcast graveyard stats, and Travis's own nine‑year journey prove most people overestimate one year and underestimate ten. Top 3 Takeaways Durable success takes longer than you think. Nearly every high‑performer Travis references built something meaningful on a timeline far longer than they expected, their peers expected, or social media says is “normal.” Passion fuels grit and smart persistence. Research on grit shows that perseverance only pays off when it is paired with genuine interest; grinding without passion doesn't create the same outcomes, but passion can live inside “boring” businesses via what you optimize and care about. Stay in the game long enough to benefit from compounding. From Ford Motor Company to Impractical Jokers to Travis's own nine‑year podcast journey, the win comes from refusing short‑term relief, learning from failures, and making relationship and career decisions with a ten‑year lens instead of a ten‑episode lens. Notable Quotes “We're an 18‑year overnight success. You have to outlast the nos. You have to just keep going against the nos.” – Joe Gatto “It is the longest possible road you can have in a career. Every opportunity I've gotten, I've gotten it two years after I thought I should have had it. I'm building a skyscraper. You can get a lot higher than me if you're building with popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue, but I'm just going to keep laying bricks.” – Drew Dunne “Most people will overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years.” – Travis Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Visit DrinkAG1.com/TMM to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last.  - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through July 26, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - To learn more about Mode Mobile and its investor community, go to https://invest.modemobile.com/travismakesmoney -Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the secret isn't chasing the next trend... but following what lights you up? Inspired by a simple note from the Vancouver International Publishing Conference, this episode explores the powerful reminder that passion sets trends—don't chase them- let passion guide you. In a world that constantly encourages people to keep up with what's popular, this conversation invites listeners to slow down and reconnect with what genuinely excites and inspires them. Whether creating a business, writing a book, offering a service, or simply living more authentically, passion carries an energy that can't be manufactured or copied. Candace reflects on letting go of grand expectations of what success is supposed to look like and instead trusting the quiet guidance of the heart. When creativity flows from authenticity rather than comparison, it naturally creates something meaningful—and often becomes the very thing that inspires others. This episode is a gentle reminder that passion isn't something to chase. It's something to trust. And when it's allowed to lead, it has a beautiful way of creating its own path. If you've been waiting for permission to stop following trends and start following your heart, perhaps this is the sign you've been looking for.

What are the best ways for us to support our kids' interests? Should we help them become the best gymnasts and singers they can be, as soon as they show glimmers of true interest? Or are they better off exploring many interests, without all of that added pressure? From travel sports to elite ballet training and specialized extracurriculars, childhood activities feel increasingly professionalized, with a lot less room for beginners, dabblers, or kids who just want to have fun. This week, we're wondering whether encouraging curiosity and exploration may be healthier than pushing early specialization. We discuss: The difference between supporting a child's interests and managing their career Why exploration—not specialization—is often the key to discovering lifelong passions How parents can praise effort and enjoyment instead of performance Why your child's purpose may be much bigger than any single job or talent How to encourage resilience when interests change or dreams evolve Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: Lindsay Karp for Business Insider: My parents told me to have a career that could support me. I'm telling my kids to follow their passions. Daniel B. Peters for HuffPost: Are We Missing the Mark If We Support Our Children's Passions?

What if the greatest impact of your life is actually built out of the smallest, everyday decisions? In this talk, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through Acts 18, where we meet Priscilla and Aquila, a married couple whose quiet, everyday yeses end up shaping the future of the Church. We learn what a godly marriage really looks like: not just a picture of Christ and the church, but a pursuit of Christ and the church together. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or married, we see that there's a greater purpose for your life too.
