Dear Elon,Congratulations on your initial public offering of SPCX.Google's AI says, “The blockbuster debut briefly made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire on paper.”The words “briefly” and “on paper” dim the dazzling brightness of the word “trillionaire” a little, but still, it's a pretty big deal.I'm sure that Errol and Maye are super-proud.You've come a long way since you started Zip2 with your brother, Kimball, in 1995.Who would have ever thought that a company that created online city guides for newspapers would sell for $307 million after just 3 and 1/2 years in business?Your 7% was only worth $22 million, but still, that's a lot of pocket money for a 27-year-old boy.Your decision to partner up with Ed Ho, Harris Fricker, and Christopher Payne to create “X,” and then merge with your biggest competitor so that all of you could survive the bursting of the dotcom bubble, well, that was another brilliant move.It worked out well for Max Levchin and Peter Thiel, too. You and Thiel and Ho, Fricker, Payne and Max created Paypal at exactly the right time.Well done, all of you!But of all your accomplishments, the one that impresses me the most is the frictionless website that you built to sell cars.Every Tesla owner that I have ever met has admitted to being marveled by how easy it was to buy a new Tesla. Five minutes online and $500 on a credit card leaves the customer sitting there, mildly stunned, asking themselves. “Did I really just buy a car? Can it really be that easy?”Elon, when people marvel at something, the thing that marvels them can rightfully be called marvelous.Elon, your Tesla website is marvelous.And the car is marvelous.Except for one thing. Can we talk about that one thing for a moment?Shortly after my wife Pennie bought her Tesla, I saw that we had a sheet rock screw embedded in the center of the tread in the right rear tire.Pennie said, “No problem, Tire Service is one of the things that my Tesla app says they can do right in our driveway.”So she pulled out her phone and quickly ordered and paid for Tire Service.When the tire guy showed up he said, “Yep. That's definitely a sheet rock screw and it's definitely an easy fix, but I can only do tire rotations. Take this to the Tesla service center and I'm sure they will do it for free.”When Pennie got back from the service center, she said that your service manager told her that the tire could not be fixed because it had a scuff on the sidewall, so he sold her a $400 new tire.Obviously, I should have gone with her.Was she cheated out of $400? Yes. In my opinion, she was cheated out of four hundred dollars.Have we been cheated by other people for more money than that? Yes.Life goes on.Elon, you and I both know that no car on earth – not even your Tesla – is equipped with onboard sensors that can monitor the depth of the tire tread on a tire. So I can only assume that this annoying “tire tread” warning light that has been front-and-center on our dash ever since she visited your service center was most likely put there by the same aggressive salesman who already sold my wife a tire that she did not need. I'm sure you can understand why I will never visit another Tesla service center.Can we resolve this like honorable men?Elon, I will Venmo you another $400 if you will tell your service manager to press the button that will make the annoying “tire tread warning” light disappear from the dash of my wife's car.You can keep the tire. I don't need it, just like I didn't need the first one. But I really do need that annoying dash light to go away.I will even Paypal you the $400 if you prefer.Again, congratulations on briefly becoming the world's first “on paper” trillionaire.– Roy H. Williams

You say yes when you want to say no. You take care of everyone else first. And no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough. Sound familiar? In Episode 264, "Why People Pleasing and Perfectionism Keep You Stuck in Midlife," I sit down with therapist Cindy Payne to explore why People Pleasing in Midlife keeps so many women exhausted, disconnected, and feeling stuck. For years, many of us have learned to be the good daughter. The good partner. The good employee. The good mom. We say yes when we want to say no. We put everyone else's needs ahead of our own. We work hard to get everything right. From the outside, it looks like success. On the inside, it often feels exhausting. Together, Cindy and I uncover how people-pleasing and perfectionism begin as forms of protection. They help us feel accepted. They help us avoid conflict. They help us stay safe. But over time, those same patterns can keep us small. They weaken our self-trust. They disconnect us from what we truly want. We also discuss why these patterns become harder to ignore in midlife. The roles begin to shift. The old coping strategies stop working. The exhaustion gets louder. And many women start asking themselves an important question: Who am I underneath all these expectations? Moreover, Cindy shares how boundaries, curiosity, and self-compassion help us reconnect with ourselves. We talk about listening to the body's signals instead of pushing them away. We explore how small acts of self-trust create meaningful change. This conversation is especially powerful for women feeling stuck and are searching for a way forward. If you're interested in getting unstuck in midlife, you'll discover practical insights for building a stronger midlife mindset and greater midlife confidence. Most importantly, this episode reminds us that freedom doesn't come from being perfect. It comes from being authentic. Ready to stop people-pleasing, let go of perfectionism, and trust yourself again? Press play and take the next step toward pursuing your spark.

What if one of the most important political symbols in American evangelicalism isn't a campaign slogan, a policy platform, or a charismatic preacher, but a worship song? In this episode of the Straight White American Jesus Sunday Interview, host Leah Payne speaks with Religion News Service journalist Bob Smietana about his reporting on the unexpected political life of Chris Tomlin's worship anthem "How Great Is Our God." Over the past several years, the song has appeared everywhere from the Capitol Riots to ReAwaken America rallies and Sean Feucht events, to the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Yet unlike overtly political songs such as "God Bless the USA," "How Great Is Our God" contains no explicit political message at all. So why has it become such a powerful soundtrack for conservative Christian activism? Drawing on his reporting for NPR's All Things Considered, and Payne's God Gave Rock and Roll to You: a History of Contemporary Christian Music, Smietana and Payne discuss the rise of “Christian Nashville-ism," the fusion of the worship music industry, suburban evangelical culture, celebrity influence, and political identity. Nashville's Christian music machine has produced a soundtrack so ubiquitous that it now functions as a kind of sacred common language across American Christianity. In an era of political polarization, worship songs provide emotional resonance, spiritual legitimacy, and a sense of collective identity that can easily travel into political spaces. Together, Payne and Smietana explore how contemporary worship music became one of the most influential forms of religious formation in American life. They discuss the rise of Chris Tomlin and the Passion movement, the mainstreaming of charismatic worship practices, the growing overlap between worship culture and conservative politics, and the role of suburban megachurches in shaping modern evangelical identity. The conversation also examines how Christian nationalism often operates less through overt ideology than through atmosphere, familiarity, nostalgia, and music. Why do songs matter so much in political movements? What happens when worship becomes a form of cultural power? And why has a seemingly apolitical worship song become one of the defining sounds of conservative evangelical America? In this episode: Why "How Great Is Our God" has become a fixture at conservative political events The relationship between worship music and conservative activism Nashville's role as a center of evangelical cultural power Chris Tomlin, the Passion movement, and the mainstreaming of charismatic worship How worship music became the dominant language of American Protestantism Charlie Kirk, Sean Feucht, and the politics of sacred music The rise of suburban megachurch culture and its political influence Why contemporary worship songs often succeed where political slogans fail "Comfort food Christian nationalism" and the power of familiarity The overlap between MAGA politics, evangelical identity, and worship culture Links: Bob Smietana's NPR article: “Why an Apolitical Worship Song Has Become Popular With Conservative Activists” Adam Perez: ““It's Your Breath in Our Lungs”: Sean Feucht's Praise and Worship Music Protests and the Theological Problem of Pandemic Response in the U.S.” Worship Leader Research Leah Payne's God Gave Rock and Roll to You: a History of Contemporary Christian Music Bob Smietana Official Website Bob Smietana at Religion News Service Bob Smietana's book, Reorganized Religion: The Reshaping of the American Church and Why It Matters: Learn more about your ad choices.
