It's Thursday night football in 2026, and Arsenal have played out a stalemate against Liverpool at the Emirates. The result takes us six points clear at the top of the Premier League, but the performance—specifically a "f*****g awful" second half—has left the boys with plenty to vent about. THIS PODCAST RELEASED THE NIGHT OF THE GAME - IF YOU WANT THEM EARLY, JOIN UP, MEMBERSHIP AT THE BOTTOM Pete is joined by Matt Kandela and Johnny Cochrane to try and make wine out of a very muddy pool of water. While the table looks healthy, the eye test was worrying. From a lack of courage to a forward line that looks like it's playing with ten men, the lads do not hold back on a frustrating evening in North London. On the docket today: The Game of Two Halves: A decent, aggressive opening 45 minutes followed by a leggy, passive surrender of control in the second. Why did we let Liverpool turn this into a chess match? The Striker Crisis: The gloves are off regarding "Big Vik" Gyökeres. Matt and Johnny deliver a brutal assessment of the Swedish striker—is he a "statue," a "magnet for defenders," or just not up to the level? Plus, the dream of Julian Alvarez. Myles Lewis-Skelly: A tough cameo for the youngster against a rampant Frimpong. Is it time for a loan, or was he just hung out to dry? Captain Anonymous: Martin Ødegaard ghosted the big occasion. Zero shots, zero duels won, and no "arm-waving" to save us. Jurrien Timber Supremacy: The undisputed Man of the Match. Why he is the only player currently operating at an elite, "Adamantium" level. Perspective FC: We didn't lose, Liverpool had zero shots on target, and the chasers are miles off. Are we overreacting, or are the cracks starting to show? Grab a drink, take a breath, and let's digest that one. Up the Arsenal. If you want this episode ADVERT FREE, get a membership below.

“Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready” – Crossing the Jordan I. Introduction Opening greeting and call to readiness for the Word of God. Reference to the recent week of prayer and fasting as preparation. Sermon title: “Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready.” Text reference: Joshua 3:1–5. Key verse: “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Connection to the new year (2026) as a “new season” — a place we've not passed before. II. Two Extremes in the Life of Faith Extreme #1: People who think everything depends on God alone. Passive faith; no personal effort (e.g., expecting blessings without action). Extreme #2: People who think everything depends on themselves. Self-striving faith; no prayer or reliance on God. Balanced truth (Joshua 3:5): Human responsibility → “Sanctify yourselves.” Divine power → “The Lord will do wonders.” A biblical tension: God acts, but we prepare. III. Historical and Scriptural Context Israel at the Jordan River. On the threshold of the Promised Land after 40 years of wandering. Consequence of earlier unbelief and disobedience. The Ark of the Covenant. Symbol of God's presence and holiness. Instructions: follow it at a distance — reverence before a holy God. The Crossing. Jordan River in flood (½ mile wide); an impossible situation needing a miracle. Spiritual parallel for 2026. Represents transition into a new season filled with both blessings and unknowns. IV. Our Part: “Sanctify Yourselves” Meaning of consecration. To set apart, make holy, dedicate to God's purposes. Synonyms: sanctify, purify, make acceptable to God. Illustration: The church drums. Ordinary objects made sacred through dedicated purpose. Believers are called to the same — living for God's glory. Practical applications of consecration. Self-examination and repentance of sin. Renew commitment to God and His house. Live holy lives — avoid spiritual compromise. Commitment to consistent church involvement and ministry. Stop gossip, negativity, and complaining; unity and obedience bring blessings. Financial consecration: honor God with firstfruits. Lifestyle consecration: avoid ungodly influences; guard media and relationships. Relational accountability and transparency (illustrated through phone example). Personal humility and ongoing sanctification — asking God to search the heart. Examples of sacrifice and faith. Pastor's story about his wife leaving a high-paying law job to serve in ministry. Lesson: Consecration often means sacrifice, but God multiplies what's surrendered. V. God's Part: “The Lord Will Do Wonders” Nature of God's wonders. Miracles, provisions, and supernatural acts demonstrating His glory. Miracles reveal who God is, not just what He does. Hope from Scripture (Romans 15:4). Old Testament lessons written for our learning and to build hope. The same God who parted the Jordan acts today. Faith declaration for 2026. God calls what is not as though it were — the promises are already in motion. Prophetic declarations for the year: Growth in intimacy with God. Healing and restoration (“this sickness is not unto death”). A rising young generation with holy passion. God will rebuke the devourer. Restoration of faith to believe again. VI. Conclusion and Call to Response Call for the congregation to stand, receive, and respond in faith. Affirmation that their fasting and prayer were part of consecration. Encouragement that God will release blessings long awaited. Exhortation to pray, worship, and believe for God's wonders in 2026.
What does it take to rebuild a legacy after losing it all? In this episode, we sit down with Melissa Nash, the founder of Passively Rich Investments, to discuss the transition from the high-stress "hustle culture" of the fashion industry to the freedom of a seven-figure real estate portfolio.Melissa shares her "Path to Passive" framework, designed specifically for women who want to stop trading hours for dollars and start building generational wealth. We dive into the mindset shifts required to overcome financial setbacks, how to manage a growing empire as a mother of four, and why Melissa believes that when women control their capital, they change the world. Whether you are a real estate novice or looking to scale your assets, Melissa provides a practical, heart-centered roadmap to achieving financial independence.https://www.hellomelissanash.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

Designing 2026: Goals That Matter Feeling overwhelmed by goal-setting? In this episode, we share a simple, biblical framework for setting meaningful goals for 2026—starting with you and then your marriage. Using Mark 12:30, we break goals into four areas: heart, soul, mind, and strength, and talk about how small, realistic steps can lead to real growth over time. We also dive into: How to set personal goals without burnout Why the soul is often overlooked—and why it matters Protecting your mind in a world full of noise Designing your marriage instead of letting it drift How to set marriage goals without creating conflict Progress matters more than perfection.
In this short podcast, Bryan answers a question submitted to HVAC School by an aspiring licensed architect who wanted to learn more about the many different types of HVAC systems. The three main buckets of HVAC systems are air-to-air, water-source, and air-to-water. Air-to-air systems move air around to remove heat from one space, and that heat is rejected to the air somewhere else. Water-source systems move water around the building and use water as the heat rejection medium. Air-water hybrid systems condition the load with water and may use air for ventilation; water or air may be used as the rejection medium. Systems may be direct-exchange (DX) and may transfer heat directly to refrigerant, or they may flow the air or water over a coil with water or glycol, utilizing a secondary fluid. Systems may also have separate indoor and outdoor architecture (split systems), or all components may be rolled into a single box (package unit). Package units include window units, PTACs, and RTUs. When it comes to forced-air systems, constant air volume (CAV) systems maintain the same volume of airflow (though the temperatures will change). Variable air volume (VAV) systems use one stream of cold air in a main duct, and each zone has a VAV box that functions as a damper to control zones individually. Dual duct systems have one cold duct and one warm duct that run parallel to each other and mix at each zone. Packaged rooftop units (RTUs) are self-contained with ducts that run down into the space and are common in retail spaces. Air-to-water systems use fan coil units (FCUs) fed with chilled or hot water. Air moves locally inside the space, so there is less ductwork and good zone control, but there are many units to manage. Chillers make chilled water, and that water is pumped around the building and sent to individual air handler units (AHUs). These are highly efficient and have large amounts of piping. They need mechanical rooms and dedicated personnel to maintain them. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems are DX systems that are becoming more popular and consist of multiple indoor units with one or more outdoor units. Some of these can be used for heat recovery, meaning one space can be cooled while another is heated. Heat pump types include air-source, water-source, and ground-source. Air-source heat pumps absorb heat from the air via one unit and reject it via the other; the outdoor and indoor units can swap functions. Water-source heat pumps are common in commercial applications and have multiple heat pumps tied into a water loop that tries to stay within a given temperature range via boilers and cooling towers. Ground-source or geothermal heat pumps pick up heat from the earth's stable temperature and are highly efficient, but they have high installation costs. Passive systems come in all sorts of varieties and reduce the HVAC system's loads but don't replace HVAC systems in North America. Mechanical systems consist of straight-cool (air conditioner with electric heat), furnaces (gas, propane, or oil combustion), or heat pump (reversible air conditioners) systems.

This week's episode we will be breaking down Cryptocurrency and how to understand it and the importance of Passive income ! Also the Top 5 things we don't see anymore along with the craziest things we saw on the internet this week !!
Everyone is busy planning what they're bringing into 2026. New goals. New strategies. New habits.But what if the real progress comes from deciding what doesn't make the cut?In this episode, we flip the usual New Year conversation on its head and talk about the things solopreneurs should seriously consider leaving behind. From creating content just because it's “trending,” to chasing passive income fairy tales, to saying yes to clients and projects that quietly drain your energy, we break down what's no longer serving your business (or your life).This is a practical, honest conversation about focusing on what actually works for your audience, your strengths, and your version of success. If you want to head into 2026 with more clarity, less noise, and a business that feels sustainable instead of exhausting, this episode is your permission slip to let some things go.Episode FAQsWhat should solopreneurs stop doing in 2026 to grow faster and feel less overwhelmed?Solopreneurs should stop doing activities that don't directly support their audience, revenue, or energy. This includes creating content without a clear strategy, chasing “passive income” shortcuts, comparing their progress to others, managing every task themselves, and saying yes to clients or projects that don't align with their core business. Letting go of these habits creates space for focus, clarity, and sustainable growth.Is passive income actually realistic for solopreneurs, or is it mostly hype?Passive income is possible for solopreneurs, but it is rarely instant or effortless. Sustainable passive income usually comes from productizing services, creating courses, books, or digital products after significant upfront work. Solopreneurs should avoid “get rich quick” promises and instead focus on building offers that reduce one-on-one time while still delivering real value and support to customers.How do solopreneurs know what to say no to without hurting their income?Solopreneurs should say no to projects that fall outside their core expertise, disrupt their workflow, or pull them away from their ideal clients even if the opportunity seems appealing in the moment. Long-term income stability comes from focus, consistency, and repeatable offers, not from taking on one-off or misaligned work that creates stress and inefficiency.
Notes:Julia Prümmer describes her transition from legal psychology into cybersecurity research and how psychological methods shape her approach to cybersecurity training.The discussion explores the role of systematic reviews in mapping what a research field actually knows, rather than relying on highly visible or frequently cited studies.Findings from a large-scale systematic review of cybersecurity training methods are discussed, highlighting the diversity of training approaches used across the literature.The episode examines results from a meta-analysis assessing the overall effectiveness of cybersecurity training and the gap between improvements in precursors such as knowledge and intentions versus observable behaviour.Julia explains why many cybersecurity training programmes lack explicit behavioural theory and rely on trial-and-error design choices.A key theme is the distinction between cybersecurity behaviours that require active engagement, such as phishing detection, and behaviours that may benefit from habit formation, such as screen locking or password management.The conversation draws on research into email habits and phishing susceptibility to illustrate how habitual behaviour can increase vulnerability in certain contexts.Julia discusses the use of psychological theory, including habit formation and implementation intentions, to design and evaluate cybersecurity training interventions.The episode concludes with reflections on the future of cybersecurity training research and the need for behaviour-specific, theory-informed models.About our Guest:Julia Prümmerhttps://www.universiteitleiden.nl/medewerkers/julia-prummer#tab-1https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-prümmer-376778159/Papers or resources mentioned in this episode Prümmer, J., van Steen, T., & van den Berg, B.

Play is where development lives, even when it looks simple, repetitive, or messy. In this conversation, Annamarie von Firley joins me to unpack why play is essential to early brain development and why children need hands-on experiences far more than screens, flashcards, or noisy battery powered toys. We talk about how babies learn to operate their bodies, how repetition builds neural connections, and why dumping, filling, banging, sorting, and mouthing objects are critical stages of growth. Annamarie explains how the brain develops most rapidly from birth to age three, why fine motor and sensory experiences support later skills like writing and speech, and how intrinsic motivation is built when children are allowed to explore without constant adult direction. We also discuss toy safety, developmental appropriateness, and how parents can use everyday items at home to support learning without spending more money. This episode is a grounding reminder that play is not indulgent, chaotic, or optional. It is the work of childhood. Key Takeaways Play is how children build their brains, not something they do after learning is finished. Movement, repetition, and exploration are the engines of development. Most brain development happens before age three, making early play experiences critical for later learning, regulation, and coordination. Children learn by using their bodies, not by watching others perform tasks for them. Passive screen time does not build the same neural connections. Fine motor play supports later skills like writing, feeding, and speech. Touching, grasping, pinching, and manipulating objects matters. Repetition is not boredom. It is mastery. Children repeat actions because their brains are wiring new connections. Intrinsic motivation grows when children are allowed to explore freely without constant instruction, correction, or performance pressure. Everyday household items can be powerful developmental tools. Pots, lids, spoons, containers, and boxes often support richer learning than complex toys. Noisy, battery operated toys are often overstimulating and unnecessary, especially for children under three. Play engages multiple senses at once, which strengthens memory, learning, and emotional regulation. When play is treated as essential rather than optional, children gain confidence, curiosity, and a stronger foundation for lifelong learning. About Annamarie Von Firley (LIBSYN) Annamarie von Firley is the founder of Adventure Town Toy Emporium and Fledglings Flight, both rooted in the belief that play is essential to healthy child development. With a BA in Wooden Toy Design and Construction and a BFA in Furniture Design, she brings a unique combination of design expertise and deep knowledge of how children learn through movement, repetition, and sensory exploration. After more than 20 years owning and operating her fashion house, reVamp, Annamarie returned to her roots in toy design and child development. In 2016, she founded Adventure Town Toy Emporium to curate and create toys that support curiosity, creativity, and developmental growth. During the pandemic, recognizing the developmental risks facing babies and toddlers born during lockdowns, she launched Fledglings Flight. The platform combines a play based app, customized subscription boxes, and expert informed guidance developed alongside pediatric occupational therapists, speech therapists, and child neurologists to help parents support early development through simple, hands on play.

Peter Grandich delivers his most bearish outlook in a 40+ year career, predicting 2026-2027 could be the most challenging years in 50 years due to mounting debt ($38T heading to $50T), political division worse than any time since the Civil War, and a deteriorating middle class hanging by its fingernails. He explains why this was his best five-year period after moving entirely into gold and precious metals in 2021, with price targets of $5,000 for gold and $100 for silver still ahead. He warns we're in the earliest stages of becoming a banana republic as BRICS launches a gold-backed trading unit and de-dollarization accelerates.This episode is brought to you by VanEck.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
How Therapists Can Actually Rest During the Holidays: Letting Go of Guilt, Productivity, and Instagram-Worthy Expectations Curt and Katie explore how therapists can create a real holiday break - not a performative or productivity-driven one. They discuss the pressure to rest “perfectly,” the guilt of not fully unplugging, how to shift into restorative downtime, and why passive vs. active rest matters. They also highlight anxiety, money scarcity, grief, and family dynamics that often intensify during the season, offering compassionate strategies for caring for yourself as a therapist and a human. Key Takeaways for Therapists You don't need an Instagram-worthy vacation: real rest is allowed. Rest is a process, not a switch; transition time matters. It's okay to be partially off and still check in lightly as needed. Passive rest (scrolling) and active rest (movement, nature, connection) serve different purposes. Anxiety, scarcity mindset, or family stress may drive overworking—notice the “why.” The holidays can be hard; grief and emotional complexity deserve compassion.

As the year comes to a close, Laura reflects on a powerful pattern many women experience after breast cancer: feeling like an observer in their own life rather than an active participant. In this episode, Laura explores how trauma, uncertainty, constant stimulation, and comparison can lead to disconnection and low-level dissociation. She explains why stillness is often avoided, how the nervous system actually resets, and why intentional living is key to reclaiming agency after cancer. This conversation is an invitation to move out of autopilot, reconnect with your body and values, and step back into your life with intention as you move into a new year. Topics Covered: Disconnection and dissociation after breast cancer Passive coping and its impact on healing Why distraction does not create safety The role of stillness in nervous system regulation Intentional living as a path back to participation Let's Connect!

Joining us on this episode of Living Off Rentals is someone who teaches people how to build income streams on their own terms. Joey Mure is the co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, a platform dedicated to helping people rethink traditional money advice and create passive income that gives people more control over their lives. Once a high-earning corporate professional who felt constantly pulled away from his family, Joey now generates over $50,000 a month in passive income and guides others through the system for building passive income streams that helped him reclaim his time. Listen as he shares how he went from missing precious time with his five daughters to taking back his calendar through passive income. He opens up about the faith-driven philosophy behind his work, why "active income is not freedom," and how most people unknowingly follow Wall Street's script instead of building income streams that free their time.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming interviews Jonathan Spitz from Lightstone Direct, the new direct-to-investor arm of 40-year-old powerhouse Lightstone Group. Jonathan shares the firm's vertically integrated model (25K apartments, 12M sq ft industrial, 5K hotel keys), why they commit 20% of their own capital first (5-10x industry norms), and how physicians can diversify beyond stocks or DIY rentals. He breaks down direct vs. passive CRE, asset class pitfalls (office flops vs. industrial wins), and red flags like inexperienced managers or 85% debt. With examples like their Greenville industrial deal, Jonathan proves alignment and conviction drive better outcomes empowering busy doctors to build legacy wealth safely. If you're a high-income physician eyeing real estate for tax efficiency and passive income, this is your guide to investing like institutions without the headaches. Three Actionable Takeaways: Decide direct vs. passive: If time-strapped, skip hands-on rentals for platforms like Lightstone Direct, vet managers on track record, cycles navigated, and skin in game (aim for 20%+). Passive reduces risks like tenant concentration; focus on assets like industrial for steady returns over volatile office or retail. Qualify and evaluate: As accredited (200K/300K income or 1M net worth), request decks/PPMs/operating agreements. Ask: Debt levels? Exit strategies? Risk mitigation? Compare projected IRRs realistically—avoid 20%+ promises tied to high leverage. Prioritize alignment where sponsors invest heavily first for shared incentives.

YouTube for Real Estate changed everything for this couple, and they didn't even start until their late 50s.In this video, I sit down with Stephan and Leslie Gleason to talk about how they used YouTube, Passive Prospecting, and simple real estate videos to build a thriving real estate business in a brand-new market. They didn't know anyone. They didn't have a big sphere. And today, they are the most watched real estate YouTube channel in their area, closing multiple six figures in commissions without Zillow, cold calls, or door knocking.If you've ever wondered whether YouTube for Real Estate actually works, especially in a small market or later in life, this conversation will open your eyes. We talk about what made their channel stand out, how they got their first phone call just days after posting, and why YouTube leads are so different from traditional real estate leads. They share what types of videos worked best, how often they post, and how being real and consistent helped people trust them before ever picking up the phone.This is a real, honest look at how Passive Prospecting works in the real world. No hype. No shortcuts. Just clear proof that YouTube can still work for real estate agents who are willing to follow a proven process and stick with it. If you're thinking about starting YouTube for Real Estate or wondering if it's too late, this video is for you.If you're interested in learning more about YouTube for real estate, we'd love to show you how to build a Passive Prospecting lead-generating machine using YouTube for real estate!

John Casmon interviews Dani Lynn Robison, co-founder of a vertically integrated “Freedom Family” of nine real estate businesses, about how she moved from Ohio turnkey rentals into larger multifamily and fund management. Dani walks through why she brought renovations, property management, acquisitions, brokerage, and capital raising in-house, and how that 56-unit “drugs, thugs and bugs” deal became a $2M proof-of-concept for scaling apartments. She shares her hard-won lessons on hiring “Ferrari-level” leaders, structuring roles with profit sharing, and keeping a 100% payout track record by always making investors whole—even on bad deals. Dani also explains why many turnkey buyers don't actually want to be landlords, how she now focuses on truly passive vehicles like funds and syndications, and where she's seeing opportunities in Sun Belt multifamily, senior housing, self-storage, and build-to-rent as bridge loans come due over the next few years.
