Podcasts about paying attention

Political commentator James Mennie is a reporter, columnist and editor at the Montreal Gazette. He can be heard weekdays at 4:05 p.m. on Montreal Now with Aaron Rand.

What if the way you show up in practice is influencing more than you realize? Your words. Your tone. Your habits. Your confidence. Your hands. They all become part of the experience you create for the person on your table. In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast, SCT Coach Dr. Fred Schofield goes deep into the relationship between consciousness, frequency, chiropractic philosophy, discipline, and the adjustment, and challenges chiropractors to stop simply consuming information and start paying attention to what they're actually creating. Because learning something isn't enough. You have to do something with it. Dr. Fred explores the idea of seeing the patient as a whole rather than a collection of individual parts, connecting foundational chiropractic philosophy with his perspective on the field, frequency, and consciousness. But this isn't only a philosophical conversation. Dr. Fred brings it directly back to practice. Can you adjust? Are you developing your hands? Are you tracking your numbers? Are you asking for referrals? When you have an incredible day in practice, do you stop to understand what you did differently? Because success leaves clues. Your habits matter. Your discipline matters. Your communication matters. And the small things you repeatedly do can eventually become the systems that shape your practice. Dr. Fred challenges chiropractors to remain curious, study the foundations of their profession, continually improve their adjusting, measure what is happening inside their offices, and develop the awareness to recognize what's working. The goal isn't to listen to another podcast and move on. It's to learn one thing, and use it. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What Dr. Fred means by Field, Force, Frequency, and consciousness Why he believes chiropractors should think about the patient as a whole rather than isolated parts How your words, tone, presence, and communication can influence the patient experience Why the chiropractic adjustment remains central to Dr. Fred's philosophy of practice The importance of continually developing your adjusting skills Why results and referrals are closely connected in a chiropractic practice How consistently asking for referrals can help create a referral-based practice Why every chiropractor should know and track their practice statistics What you can learn by analyzing your best days instead of simply celebrating them How habits and discipline create greater consistency Why curiosity remains essential to continued growth How to turn information into something you can actually apply "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." — Dr. Fred Schofield Weekly Action Challenge: Learn ONE Thing Dr. Fred ends this episode with a deceptively simple challenge: Learn one thing. Not ten. Not another notebook full of ideas you'll never revisit. One. Choose one thing from this episode, or something you've been meaning to improve in your practice—and give it your complete attention. Maybe it's your adjustment. Maybe it's asking for referrals. Maybe it's finally tracking your six-week new-patient average. Maybe it's examining what happens differently on your busiest, most successful days. Identify it. Learn it. Then do something with it. Because information without application doesn't change your practice. Pay attention. Stay curious. Develop your discipline. And keep refining the chiropractor you bring into the office every day. Spread the word. Keep the faith. Tell the story. Keep charging! MoChihChu!

Pastor and author Jay Kim explores how the demands of ministry can leave us attentive to everyone else while increasingly disconnected from what is happening within our own spiritual lives.Pastors spend much of their lives tending to the needs, questions, and spiritual lives of others. But what happens when caring for so many others leaves us increasingly inattentive to what is happening within us? In this conversation on FrontStage BackStage, pastor and author Jay Kim joins host Jason Daye to explore the gift of living an examined life.Ministry gives us plenty of legitimate demands on our attention. Sermons need preparing, people need caring for, decisions need making, and unexpected situations constantly require a response. Over time, however, we can become so accustomed to responding to what is around us that we lose awareness of what is happening in our own souls and even of God's presence with us in the midst of it all.Jay is the lead pastor of WestGate Church in Silicon Valley, host of The Digital Examen podcast, and author of several books, including his newest, The Pace of Peace. Drawing from his own experience and the ancient practice of the Examen, Jay invites ministry leaders to consider how the pace and patterns of our lives are forming us.Together, they discuss:Why pastors can become highly attentive to everyone else while losing awareness of what is happening in their own spiritual livesWhat the constant demands of ministry may be doing to our capacity for presence, attention, and life with GodHow to recognize when faithful responsiveness in ministry has quietly turned into reactivityWhat an examined life can reveal about the pressures, patterns, and motivations shaping us beneath the surfaceWhy pastors may know the language of spiritual maturity while still struggling to see clearly what is happening within themselvesHow the Examen can help ministry leaders move beyond hurried self-awareness toward deeper reflection, honesty, and attentiveness to GodIf you are a pastor or ministry leader who spends much of your life attending to the needs, questions, and spiritual lives of others, this conversation offers an invitation to notice your own life again. Not as an exercise in self-focus, but as a way of becoming more present to God, more honest about what is happening within you, and more attentive to the person you are being formed to become.Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

You may have seen the headlines warning about possible food shortages in 2027, but how much should we actually be worried?In this episode, I'm digging into what's behind those warnings, some of the very real cracks in our modern food system, and why I think they're worth paying attention to without spiraling into doom-and-gloom prepping. I'll share why margin has become my motto lately and give some practical action steps for helping becoming prepared without stress and panic. Because I firmly believe the goal isn't to predict the future, but about how to become a little less fragile no matter what happens next.Podcast Episode Highlights:Why folks are currently freaking out about possible 2027 food shortagesDoing a deeper dive about the news headlines & modern farming issuesBecoming aware of our modern food system flaws & changesWhy I'm not big into the 'doom and gloom' prepper lifestyleWhy 'margin' is my current mottoQuestions to ask yourself to prepare yourself without stressAction Step #1: don't panic, but pay attentionAction Step #2: do food storage based on the foods you actually useAction Step #3: don't just build the inventory, build the skillsFinal thoughtsResources Mentioned in This Podcast Episode:Learn more about Azure Standard and their non-GMO, wholesome food options (especially bulk food) here: https://www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=ANnu0O8ySU–> Join Azure Standard for FREE and enjoy 15% off your first order of $100 or more.

A Tuesday Night Lesson on the Book of Hebrews, 2:1-4In this lesson, Christian Barrett reminds young adults of the gospel truth while warning them of the dangers of drifting. But what does drifting look like? It can be believing things such as:"I'll focus on my faith when I graduate.""I'll have time to read my Bible on the weekends.""I just want to do what makes me happy, surely God wants me to be happy."Hebrews 2 begins with the exhortation that Christians must pay close attention to the message that they have received. By paying close attention to His supremacy and greatness, we can avoid the gradual, quiet movement that prevents us from focusing on Him.Are you drifting?Want more discipleship resources?

The Lost Art of Paying Attention: How to Slow Down and Stay Present explores what happens when our attention is constantly divided between screens, tasks, thoughts, conversations, and whatever is asking for us next. We may feel productive when we're juggling several things at once, but are we actually experiencing any of them fully? In this episode, we look at the hidden cost of task switching, why active listening requires us to stay in someone else's story, and how we can become more intentional about where our attention goes. This isn't about eliminating distractions or adding another self-improvement project to your list. It's about noticing when your attention starts to wander and remembering that you have a choice: you can follow the next thing, or you can practice the stay. Here is what we unpack together: Why doing several things at once can feel productive even when our attention is fragmented The difference between multitasking and rapidly switching between tasks What research reveals about the mental cost of repeatedly shifting our attention Why we sometimes interrupt ourselves even when nothing external is demanding our attention How divided attention can affect comprehension, memory, and meaningful connection Why active listening means following someone else's story instead of preparing our own How reducing the competition for our attention can be more effective than simply trying harder to focus Simple ways to practice doing one thing at a time without giving up technology Why boredom and unfilled moments may offer something valuable instead of something to escape How “practicing the stay” can help us become more present with our work, our experiences, and the people around us CHALLENGE: Choose one moment this week to practice the stay. Close the extra tabs, put down the second device, let someone finish their story, or simply sit with your hands in your lap and allow one thing to be enough. Give something your full attention and notice what you experience that you might otherwise have missed. I Know YOU Can Do It!

September 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks. Includes top analyst picks on AI infrastructure stocks, alternative energy, and wind stocks. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 171, September 25, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 171, published on September 25, 2026, titled "September 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul.

Remember that you can find a transcript, stock symbol links, and bonus material on this episode's podcast page. Go to investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts. Additionally, I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. And, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 22 articles for you in this podcast! Note: companies are sometimes covered more than once. Now I've chosen 4 to quote from. Titles and links to the other 18 can be found on the webpage for this podcast edition. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Which Solar Stock Has Dominated in 2026: SolarEdge, Enphase Energy, or First Solar? I'm beginning this podcast episode with an article on the ongoing theme of top solar stocks. The article is titled Which Solar Stock Has Dominated in 2026: SolarEdge, Enphase Energy, or First Solar? It appeared on finance.yahoo.com and was written by David Moadel. Here is some of his analysis. "SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ: SEDG) stock closed at $34.20, up 19% year to date. Meanwhile, Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) stock finished at $36.37, up 13%. First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) stock, the largest and most profitable name of the three, ended at $204.45, down 22%. Between them sits a sector fund that never picked a side. The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEARCA: TAN) was down 2% year to date. To provide the broader context, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) was up 13%, putting the broad market above every solar name except SolarEdge… Why SolarEdge Beat the Group SolarEdge's rally reflects recovery from deeply depressed levels rather than a rerating on quality. The company captured more than 50% of U.S. commercial and industrial rooftop installations in the most recent industry report, and… scaling its Nexus platform across Europe. Management has also pointed to the SolarEdge SST as an early foothold in AI data center power infrastructure. Enphase's own IQ Solid-State Transformer targets the same AI power theme, with pilots planned for 2027 and commercial shipments in 2028. First Solar's problem was different. Its utility-scale model leans on Section 45X credits, and its 2026 guidance still assumes $2.10 billion to $2.19 billion of those credits. First Solar's underlying business still looked strong on paper. The company's Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization], margin reached 61%, up from 51% a year earlier, and its contracted backlog stands at 45.1 gigawatts extending through 2030. Yet, First Solar stock spent the year absorbing a legal overhang from securities litigation tied to prior tariff disclosures alongside market questions about backlog conversion and future average selling prices. Reading the 2026 Scorecard Company/Ticker Year-to-Date Move Solar Edge  (SEDG)                    +19% Enphase  (ENPH)                    +13% First Solar  (FSLR)                     -22% Invesco Solar ETF  (TAN)                     -2% SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust  (SPY)                    +13% The takeaway is that 2026 rewarded recovery from depressed levels rather than quality, and the largest, most profitable name in the group sits at the bottom. Investors sizing their exposure to any of these solar stocks should keep their positions moderate given the policy sensitivity. Another credit or tariff headline can flip the leaderboard again before year-end." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) 2 Superior AI Infrastructure Stocks to Buy and Hold for 10 Years Now, another ongoing theme on this podcast concerns AI infrastructure stocks. This article offers one top analyst's view of the current situation. It's titled 2 Superior AI Infrastructure Stocks to Buy and Hold for 10 Years and is on fool.com. It's by Micah Zimmerman. Here are some quotes on his picks. "Investors who want exposure to artificial intelligence without betting on a single chip or any of the popular ones should look hard at the infrastructure layer. 1. Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) Arista Networks has become a core supplier of modern cloud networks and is now leaning hard into serving as the backbone for large AI systems. Earlier this year, it rolled out the 7060XE7 Series, a family of switches built specifically for rack‑scale AI fabrics, in which the network is treated as part of an integrated AI system rather than a bolt‑on tier. The idea is simple: As AI workloads scale from thousands to hundreds of thousands of accelerators, the wires between those chips start to matter just as much as the chips themselves. In other words, Arista wants to be the nervous system that keeps giant clusters of AI hardware talking to each other quickly and reliably for years to come. 2. Vertiv Holdings (NYSE: VRT) Vertiv focuses on keeping AI hardware powered and cool so it can run nonstop. It builds the core gear for data centers: power systems, cooling equipment, racks, and control software. In its 2026 Frontiers report, Vertiv argued that rising AI workloads are forcing data centers to get denser and bigger, which means they will need higher‑voltage power, more liquid cooling, and, in many cases, their own on‑site energy over the next decade. In other words, Vertiv is betting that electricity and cooling will be just as important to AI as chips are and wants to be the company that solves those problems… [So], Vertiv is trying to make it easy for data center operators to buy 'AI‑ready' power and cooling packages, test them up front, and plug them in quickly when they are ready to scale." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) 3 Alternative Energy Stocks to Buy Amid the Escalating Iran War This next article also concerns an important sector, alternative energy. It's titled 3 Alternative Energy Stocks to Buy Amid the Escalating Iran War. It's from zacks.com and by Abhinab Dasgupta. Here's some of what he writes. "1. Bloom Energy (BE) designs and sells solid oxide fuel cell systems and electrolyzers for on-site electricity generation and hydrogen production, serving utilities, data centers and other industries. Bloom Energy's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 238.2%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has improved 24.2% over the past 60 days. It currently sports a Zacks Rank #1. 2. NANO Nuclear (NNE) develops advanced microreactors, including KRONOS, LOKI, ZEUS and ODIN, while pursuing nuclear fuel processing, transportation and consulting businesses. Nano's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 24.5%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has increased 15.8% over the past 60 days. It currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. 3. XPLR Infra (XIFR) operates contracted clean energy assets, including wind, solar and battery storage projects, across the United States. XPLR's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 136.7%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has increased 108.2% over the past 60 days. It currently flaunts a Zacks Rank #1. End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) 3 Wind Energy Stocks Worth Adding to Your Portfolio Right Now Now, my final review article for this podcast is titled 3 Wind Energy Stocks Worth Adding to Your Portfolio Right Now. It's from finance.yahoo.com and is by Avisekh Bhattacharjee. Now some quotes from the article. "[Note: this is] an updated edition of the July 17, 2026 article. 1. Pinnacle West Capital (PNW) Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, provides electricity services in Arizona through its subsidiaries. While the Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company's principal subsidiary, Arizona Public Service ('APS') purchases wind power from Arizona and New Mexico wind facilities and provides clean electricity, its other unit, PNW Power, has certain wind and transmission-related joint venture investments… The company's major capital projects continued to proceed per plan and the addition of new renewable projects continues to boost the portfolio. The APS unit secured 3,606 MW of battery storage capacity, 2,649 MW of solar capacity, 517 MW of natural gas resources and 500 MW of wind resources, with these additions scheduled to enter service between 2026 and 2028.

The company is capitalizing on rising demand for renewable power through its emphasis on wind capacity expansion, technological advancement and sustainable energy development. In August 2026, the Zacks Rank #2 company secured two new orders from JUWI to deliver wind turbines in Germany for a total of 86 MW. Also, in the same month, the company clinched turbine orders for 65 MW in Italy and 306 MW in the United States. Apart from this, Vestas secured a deal from Statkraft Peru to develop a 72 MW Emma Wind Farm in Piura, marking its return to Peru with the 4 MW platform.

Send us Fan MailCan we stop calling every major realization a woman has after 40 a midlife crisis?Maybe she's not falling apart.Maybe she's finally paying attention.After decades of careers, children, relationships, caregiving, responsibilities, grief, ambition, survival and being everything to everybody, many women eventually find themselves sitting with a surprisingly difficult question:“What do I actually want now?”In this episode of The Healing Poetic Podcast, we're challenging the idea that questioning your life in midlife automatically means something has gone wrong.What if something has finally gone right?What if you're finally able to distinguish between the life you consciously chose and the life you inherited through expectations, responsibilities and previous versions of yourself?We're talking about changing definitions of success, empty nesting, career identity, relationships, grief, peace, aging, evolving priorities, self-trust—and the complicated experience of meeting yourself again when the roles you've carried for decades begin to change.And no, this isn't about blowing up your life.Sometimes awakening means leaving.Sometimes it means changing.And sometimes awakening allows you to look at the life you already have and appreciate it differently.Maybe you're not having a midlife crisis.Maybe you're coming into focus.Grab your journal. This conversation is for the woman who knows something inside her is shifting—even if she doesn't know exactly what comes next.

Send us Fan MailWhat does “Leadership Vision” actually mean?Nearly 20 years ago, Nathan Freeburg asked Brian Schubring that question when they first met. In this episode, Nathan revisits it with Brian and Dr. Linda Schubring to explore an idea that remains central to our work: leadership is about your influence, and vision is about your identity.Together, they discuss why the simple question, “What do you see?” can help leaders listen with greater curiosity, understand perspectives they might otherwise miss, and adapt how they lead in a rapidly changing environment.They also offer two practical ideas for navigating uncertainty: align and adjust.

What if being “too sensitive” doesn't mean you're weak—but that your nervous system is picking up information other people miss? Psychiatrist Sasha Hamdani draws on Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply to explain why criticism, conflict, and subtle social shifts can hit some people especially hard—and how regulation can transform sensitivity into emotional intelligence. Then physicist and science writer Leonard Mlodinow shares ideas from Emotional: How Feelings Shape Our Thinking, revealing why emotions aren't the enemy of rational thought. They help us set priorities, make decisions, and find the motivation to act.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. This is the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We say "Never Forget" and pay homage to the victims and their families, but we have forgotten. And maybe we never opened our eyes in the first place, because 25 years later the West is getting our rear ends kicked by Islam. Islam is winning and as a society we are clueless, because we've never thought through what "Never Forget" represents. In the aftermath of 9/11, many of us felt helpless and we didn't get Islam. But if you had told someone back then that 25 years later an Islamist would be Mayor of New York City, they'd think you were nuts. Suppose the real Ground Zero is not the site of the Twin Towers, but Michigan? We've totally blown the Never Forget thing. As a society we've closed our eyes to Islam's plan to takeover America. Also, on 9/11 we were at war, but we interpreted differently from the Islamists. We thought were at war with terrorists "over there," while we were blind to what was happening right here at home. In the 9,130 days since 9/11, an average of 5.5 terror attacks have taken place. Islamic terror has become so common that it takes an October 7th type of event to make news. Out of political correctness, many attacks get labelled "hate crimes." The truth is the Islamists didn't need to attack the Twin Towers. The Islamic plan has parallel paths: terror, infiltration and political correctness. The West has allowed itself to be manipulated by Islam and the plan is working. Then, 25 years ago, all of two elected officials in the U.S. were Islamists, both in Michigan. Today, that number is 255, including four members of Congress and Hizzoner Mayor Mamdani. The Muslim Brotherhood has an actual 100 year plan, first discovered in 1982, with a ten point plan to takeover the West. They realized the West couldn't be conquered militarily, so they're doing it by gradual entrenchment. They're playing the long game and it's working. Finally, if we do nothing else, where do we go from here? The Muslim Brotherhood 100 year plan tells us. We went from identifying western societies and establishing infrastructure, to building a North American network, to institutional consolidation, to political and civic participation. From here, the plan calls for influencing institutions, to influencing laws and public policy favorable to Islam, to the normalization of Islamist political ideas. In other words, Islam is no longer outside the norm, Islam IS the norm. The question is, do we have it within us to protect our republic, our Judeo-Christian values and our way of life?

You're in a circumstance you didn't choose and can't control. The moment you hit it, a mental mechanism kicks in — and the story your mind tells you out of that moment is already leading your next move. Chris McAlister goes live every Wednesday at noon Eastern. This week is episode 2 of September's Limbo Moments series. Chris teaches the move leaders consistently miss inside the in-between: pausing the mental mechanism between a circumstance you can't control and the story you tell yourself out of it. When you learn to name what's happening in that gap — with real clarity — your brain reorganizes. You literally can't unsee it. From the nurse who spotted a runner by his biometrics, to Chris holding his own eviction notice in 2008, this episode names the exact space where leadership transformation begins.

Who has your attention?In a world where screens, money, health, worries, ambitions, and countless other forces compete for our focus, John Ortberg asks a deeper question: Who is my master?Psalm 143 teaches us how to pay attention to God through two important practices: focused attention and open attention.John explores why attention is so powerful, how what we consistently attend to can actually change us, and how we can learn to notice God's presence throughout an ordinary day.The invitation is simple:Pay attention to the God who is already paying attention to you.In this episode: Psalm 143 • attention • distraction • spiritual formation • neuroscience • noticing God#Psalm143 #JohnOrtberg #SpiritualFormation #Attention #Psalms #ChristianFaith

'They're going to get a second bite at this,' says Meidas Touch's Scott MacFarlane of the US Supreme Court weighing-in on the conflicting maps and judicial rulings in Missouri. Why did the Republicans pick these dates for their mid-term convention? What are voters paying attention to? 'It's hard to get fired up about cultural issues,' when fuel prices are high says MacFarlane, 'I don't think that's mobilizing voters right now.'

Most of us eat breakfast while scrolling, walk without seeing, speak without listening. Host Avik talks with Matt Thomas, a poet, farmer, and engineer from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, about what it actually means to be present, and why "mindfulness" doesn't mean having an empty mind. Matt's own wake-up call came around age 48, when he realized he'd never truly held onto his youth and worried he'd reach old age with the same regret about middle age. His answer wasn't some elaborate practice. It was simpler and harder: pay attention. To groceries, to a spouse's story about their day, to the ache in your legs after a long walk. This is a grounded, unpretentious conversation about noticing your own life while you're still living it. About the Guest: Matt Thomas is a poet, smallholder farmer, and engineer living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He writes about home, time, and attention, and is the author of the poetry collection Disappearing by the Math (2024), with a second collection, Cicada, Dog & Song, forthcoming from Serving House Books. Key Takeaways: Mindfulness isn't a blank mind. Thoughts about dinner or your to-do list will still show up. The practice is letting them pass through instead of grabbing onto each one. A useful test for whether you're actually paying attention: can you recall your day in detail at night, including how your body felt, not just what you did? Ordinary chores and errands are where most of us check out completely. They're also the easiest place to practice noticing again. People, especially in close relationships, often tune out the most around family. Try actually listening to what your partner or kid tells you, and quiz yourself on it later. Setbacks are guaranteed, not exceptional. Expecting them ahead of time (the way a farmer expects things to break) makes them far less destabilizing when they happen. There's no universal formula for a well-lived life. The real question to ask yourself daily: is there something I could change a little to bring myself more happiness, without hurting anyone else?

Manufactured housing is often overlooked because of outdated perceptions and stigma—but could it be one of the answers to today's housing affordability challenge?In this episode of Exit Strategies Radio Show, Corwyn J. Melette talks with Ali Nasir, founder and managing partner of Rise360 Ventures, about why investors are paying closer attention to manufactured housing, what makes this sector different, and why many people still misunderstand its potential.They explore manufactured housing as a path to homeownership, an investment opportunity, and a way to create stronger communities and long-term wealth.Most importantly, this conversation challenges the idea that manufactured housing is a “last resort.” It can be a choice—and for many families, it can be an opportunity.Because when we make smarter real estate and financial decisions today, we create the foundation for wealth, stability, and legacy tomorrow.Key Takeaways:04:08 Family roots in manufactured housing07:18 Why manufactured housing is overlooked09:31 Manufactured housing as a path to homeownership11:52 Why investors are paying attention13:52 How manufactured homes have evolved15:31 Affordable housing and responsible investing18:27 Where the investment opportunities are20:58 Why experienced operators matter23:07 Manufactured housing is a choice, not a last resort24:06 What really matters when building a legacy25:45 Real estate as a vehicle for legacy buildingLegacy Building Takeaway:“What transfers and what's most important in terms of legacy building is the knowledge, the wisdom, the tenacity, the ambition, the morals, the values, the ethics.”Connect with Ali:Website: https://rise360ventures.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rise360ventures/Email: info@rise260adventures.comConnect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/⁠FB Page:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/⁠Youtube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZA⁠Website:⁠ https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.com⁠Linkedin:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/⁠Shoutout to our Sponsor: Country Boy HomesYou served your country with pride.

What are you giving your attention to? In a world filled with competing voices, distractions, worries, desires, and spiritual ideas, what captures our minds has a profound impact on the direction of our lives. Acts 8 shows us people who “paid attention” to both the truth of the Gospel and to deception, reminding us that we must be careful about what we allow to shape our hearts and minds. As Philip proclaims Christ in Samaria, the crowds listen to the Word and witness God's power at work. At the same time, they are captivated by Simon the magician, who presents himself as someone great. Through this passage, we are challenged to recognize worldly and spiritual deceptions, guard what we give our attention to, and remain anchored in the truth of God's Word. The Gospel calls us to more than simply adding Jesus to the list of things we believe or pay attention to. Jesus is worthy of our wholehearted devotion. Rather than allowing the worries of life, sinful desires, worldly priorities, or false teaching to dominate our minds, we are called to set our minds on things above and fix our attention on Christ. Join us at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande as we grow together in God's Word, build authentic community, and worship Jesus. We would love to have you with us. This Christian sermon is part of our verse-by-verse study through Acts and is rooted in Scripture-centered Bible teaching and expository preaching. As we follow Jesus, we want to remain anchored in the truth of God's Word and discerning about what we give our attention to. Sunday services are at 9am & 11am.

(8-20-26) Breaking down the Charges Against Brian DePena  Paying Attention with Tom Duggan 

State Rep. Candidate Ron Heiseler joined Tom today to talk about his campaign against Ryan Hamilton in the state rep. district that covers Methuen and Haverhill. 

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and she is JAZZED for this one! She's sharing 5 things that worked for her this week and the surprising thread connecting all of them: PAYING ATTENTION! First, Maria reveals the ridiculously simple bedroom change that made a HUGE difference with her hot flashes (seriously, wait until you hear this one!). She also shares the Dermalogica  LumiFusion facial she swears by for glowing skin and the two things she thinks may be behind her suddenly clearer pores. Hint, hint...one is something she removed from her diet and the other is one of her favorite morning routines. Plus, Maria tells us why she's officially an outlet-shopping convert after scoring the bedroom set she wanted for around half the price, and then things get a little deeper. Then, a scary moment this week made her realize that sometimes what feels like a disruption in our lives may actually be the redirection we've been asking for. Maria also shares an inspirational post that came to her at exactly the right time about putting down the phone, creating more silence, listening to those little nudges, praying, and actually giving ourselves enough quiet to hear the answers we keep asking for. Don't worry, we linked the post in the show notes too! Can't wait for you to hear this one, friends. Enjoy!

Are You Paying Attention or Not

Terminated participants probably aren't the most exciting thing you'll deal with inside your 401(k) plan. Good grief, even saying "terminated participants" sounds boring. But they can create some very real problems. Former employees who leave money behind in your plan can increase your administrative workload, add costs, create additional fiduciary responsibilities, and in some cases even help push your plan into an annual audit requirement. And there's another side to this. A lot of former employees have no idea what their options are. They may leave an old 401(k) sitting somewhere for years simply because nobody ever explained what they could actually do with it. In this video, I walk through: • What a terminated participant actually is • Why old 401(k) balances can become a problem for employees • The responsibilities those accounts create for plan sponsors • How terminated participants can affect plan costs and audits • Why communication matters so much • How we approach terminated participant campaigns with our 401(k) clients The goal isn't to push somebody to move their money. It's to make sure they understand their options, know where their money is, and can make an informed decision about what they want to do with it. If you're a 401(k) plan sponsor and have questions about your plan, feel free to reach out. There's a link below to connect with our team at Ellis Retirement.

The Dark Horse of Consumer SpendingRetail is obsessed with the next consumer.What does Gen Z want? How will younger shoppers change stores? Which brands, experiences, and trends will win their attention?But while everyone looks ahead, retail may be overlooking one of the most powerful consumers in the market right now.Gen X accounted for $15.2 trillion in global consumer spending in 2025 - that's more than the entire spending power of ChinaGen X are in their peak earning years, but that's only part of the story. Many are making purchasing decisions for households that stretch in both directions, from their children to their aging parents.That makes Gen X more than a valuable demographic. It gives them outsized influence over where money is being spent and what consumers need from the places they visit.And we may already be seeing the impact in retail real estate.The growth of service tenants, demand for health and wellness concepts, the value placed on convenience and quality, and the evolution of shopping centers into places where consumers can accomplish multiple things in one trip all align with the needs of a generation with money to spend and very little time to waste.“Gen X is the overlooked generation that is kind of a spending dark horse,” said Natalie Chambers, Executive Creative Director at The Dealey Group in her conversation on Retail Retold with Chris Ressa. “Retail real estate, in particular, should pay attention to what Gen X is looking for.”Because understanding who is spending is only the beginning.The bigger opportunity is understanding what that spending power changes: the brands that grow, the services consumers seek out, the tenant mixes that drive repeat visits, and ultimately, what makes a shopping center more relevant to the communities it serves.Gen X may be the forgotten generation.Retail can't afford to forget about them.What You'll HearWhy Gen X is retail's “dark horse”The power of the “sandwich generation”What's driving the rise of services in retailWhy Gen X may be the bridge between analog life and AIThe connection between Gen X and the longevity boomThe growing value and influence of consumer reviewsHow shopping centers are evolving for multiple generationsWhy intentional spending is gaining groundChapters01:16 — The consumer signals worth watchingNatalie breaks down the Dealy Group's mid-year trend work and the signals that put Gen X on the radar.01:52 — Why Gen X is suddenly having a momentFrom fashion to pop culture, Gen X influence is showing up in places marketers may not expect.03:16 — The $15.2 trillion wake-up callThe spending data that changes the conversation about how much attention Gen X deserves.04:51 — The consumer in the middle of everythingWhy being the “sandwich generation” gives Gen X influence over spending across multiple age groups.07:38 — What Gen X actually valuesQuality, efficiency and clarity; and why “worth the money” may matter more than simply buying more.09:02 — Is Gen X driving the rise of services?Natalie connects Gen X behavior to service-oriented leasing, while Chris offers another explanation for the shift.12:12 — Why repeat visits matterHow landlords are using service tenants to build retail ecosystems consumers need to visit again and again.13:08 — The generation between analog and AINatalie argues Gen X occupies a unique cultural position. Chris challenges whether that advantage will last.18:36 — Why analog is backVinyl, film, BMX bikes and nostalgia reveal a growing appetite for experiences outside the digital world.25:01 — Longevity is becoming retailWhy wellness concepts focused on staying healthier longer could be another expression of Gen X demand.27:24 — Do online reviews deserve our trust?Chris and Natalie debate who actually writes reviews; and whether those people represent the consumers relying on them.35:02 — Designing retail for three generations at onceWhy green space, restaurants, services and gathering places can solve a very practical Gen X problem.36:49 — Consumers are getting more intentionalFunctional gifts, planning around sales and buying for utility point toward a more deliberate spending mindset.37:43 — The Gen X opportunityNatalie's final argument: retail real estate should pay closer attention to what this overlooked but influential consumer wants.

Consumer expectations are changing fast, and brands of every size are being forced to adapt.  In this episode, we discuss what PepsiCo's response to GLP-1s and inflation signals for CPG. We also dive into Vita Coco's acquisition of a super-premium rival, and sample everything from cereal-inspired protein shakes and date-sweetened cola to birch water and caffeinated banana milk. Show notes: 0:20: Chi, Summer. Is Ce Real? Pep Rally. Coco + Copra. Date Drink. The Two a Yous. It's French. — Ray and Melissa lament how quickly summer is slipping away, but they're looking ahead to Taste Radio's upcoming meetup in Chicago. Meanwhile, Mike is mixing up an unconventional concoction he swears will improve his physique.
