Podcasts about Penton

This is #5 in our Revisited series as we discuss the Penton episode. This episode was one of the most emotional stories we have released. This is a behind the scenes on how the show idea came about and on the hosts personal takes on this shows impact.   "Always come home". This is the story of a young Dallas Officer who had ambitions of fighting crime, serving the city and starting a new family. Mitchell Penton embraced the Northeast Patrol Division's fast pace and settled in with several other young officers that became a blue family.  Mitchell loved being a cop….was a loyal son, a devoted father, and husband and everyone in his life looked to the future to travel with him on this journey. But life being what it is - a series of intersecting lives and incidents, out of anyone's control changed all of that on February 13th, 2021, on an icy morning in Dallas, Texas. Officer Penton was struck and killed by a drunk driver as he worked an accident scene on North Central Expressway and Walnut Hill. He left behind an expectant wife, stepson, amazing parents and a brother and sister. Today we are hearing from his parents, Tim and Kathy, as they give a peek into who Mitchell Penton was as a child, a soccer player, a goofy and fun-loving kid, to his decision to serve as an Officer. They take us on their own journey from the night of February 13th, 2021, to the conclusion of a  trial in May of 2023.  This story is a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of life and of the importance of cherishing our moments. It encourages us to live in the present, to appreciate the people and experiences around us, and to make the most of the time we have. Please welcome the Penton family to the ATO stage. Critical Incident: February 13, 2021: Police Officer Mitchell Penton was struck and killed by a vehicle operated by an intoxicated driver at about 1:45 am. He was working at the scene of a vehicle collision in the northbound lanes of the North Central Expressway at Walnut Hill Lane. He was securing traffic with the emergency lights from his patrol car when a vehicle driven by an intoxicated driver, traveling at a high rate of speed, hit the back of his patrol car. The collision pushed the patrol car into Officer Penton. Officer Penton was transported to Baylor University Medical Center when he died from his injuries. The driver of the vehicle that struck Officer Penton was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter of a police officer and intoxication assault. In 2023, he was found guilty and sentenced to 30 years.

In the final episode of the Podcast-to-Book series, host Susan Diaz sits down with change leader and AI education lead Melissa Penton (Sun Life) for a human-first conversation about what actually makes AI adoption work. They talk productivity vs room-for-life, why one-prompt culture is snake oil, the shift from prompt engineering to context engineering, and the simplest enterprise question that changes everything: "What would make Monday easier for employees?" Episode summary Susan closes out the Podcast-to-Book sprint with a conversation that feels like the point of the whole series: AI isn't a tool problem. It's a people problem disguised as a tool problem. Melissa Penton shares her lens as a long-time change manager working in AI readiness and education inside a large organisation. Her focus isn't faster work. It's making room for what matters - and designing adoption in a way that's safe, honest, and grounded in real human tension points. Together, Susan and Melissa unpack why generic prompting courses aren't enough, why people get hives when they hear words like "workflow" and "agentic," and how leaders can create real change by starting with everyday pain. They also go deep on psychological safety, the fear of "training your robot replacement," and what it looks like to lead with humility in the biggest transformation most of us will live through.   Key takeaways Productivity is the doorway. Room-for-life is the goal. Saving time is nice. The real win is using that time to live in your "zone of genius" and have space for the things you care about. One-prompt culture is snake oil. Useful AI work is iterative, messy, and conversational. The magic isn't the prompt. It's the human steering, correcting, and refining. Prompt engineering is evolving into context engineering. The skill isn't "write a clever prompt." It's learning to give the right context, ask better questions, and build on responses. Enterprise adoption should start with one simple question: "What would make Monday easier for my employees?" That question forces leaders to solve real friction instead of buying shiny tools. The biggest people problem masquerading as an AI problem is readiness. AI is being thrown at people who don't know where to start, how it fits their real lives, or how it changes their work without threatening them. Training should be experiential, not theoretical. Courses can help. But capability sticks when people learn by doing, inside real workflows, with real tasks, and real feedback loops. Psychological safety is non-negotiable. People won't share pain points if they fear automation will erase their job. Leaders shouldn't make promises they can't keep. They should make learning safe and transferable. Workflows don't have to be scary. A workflow is just the steps you already take. "Ask a question → make notes → read notes → act." That's a workflow. Low-risk experiments lead to higher-risk breakthroughs. The "AI coffee warmer" might feel silly. But it's part of the lab. Small experiments teach the muscles needed for bigger transformations. Leadership in the AI era requires humility. Admit you're learning. Model curiosity. Use AI to explore recurring organisational stuck points, mediate perspectives, and surface patterns in conversations.   Timestamps  00:03 — Susan sets the scene: the final stretch of the 30-day podcast-to-book sprint 01:12 — Meet Melissa: change management, training, and leading AI education/readiness 02:31 — Productivity vs "making room for what matters" (crochet, hikes, real life) 03:29 — Time saved is table stakes… what are we doing with the time? 03:58 — Zone of Genius living and why AI should move you toward it 06:44 — Snake-oil prompts, "one prompt fixes your life," and why it makes Susan grumpy 08:02 — "I am the prompt": AI as an iterative, human conversation 09:21 — Prompting → context engineering (asking better questions is the skill) 09:50 — The enterprise question: "What will make Monday easier for employees?" 11:02 — Voice mode and why it changes tone, cadence, and output quality 14:27 — The biggest "AI problem" is actually a people/readiness problem 16:20 — Start with real tension points, not an abstract AI adoption plan 18:23 — Why "prompting courses" can repel people (language matters) 20:39 — Courses aren't bad… they're just not sufficient 21:49 — Cleaning workflows as the gateway drug to agentic thinking 22:44 — Agentic AI explained simply: consecutive steps without you in the middle 23:20 — "Workflow" definition for normal humans (no hives required) 24:12 — First 3 moves in 30 days: Monday, conversations, embedded learning 26:00 — Psychological safety: fear of replacement and why honesty matters 31:03 — Skill recognition: you're learning transferable capability, not training your replacement 33:35 — Whole-human value: you are not your job title 34:22 — The spiritual lens: AI should expand what humans can become 35:34 — Why "small silly tools" still matter (science lab thinking) 37:29 — Low-risk testing as the path to bigger breakthroughs 38:00 — Leadership advice: be humble, be curious, use AI to explore stuck patterns 40:58 — Where to find Melissa: LinkedIn + Substack 41:30 — "Purple person": bridging tech and business communication   Connect with Melissa Penton on LinkedIn Substack: Confessions of an AI User   If you're leading AI adoption, steal this question and use it today:  "What would make Monday easier for our people?"

Joel Penton, CEO of LifeWise Academy, joins Scot Bertram to explore how school choice is evolving from political polls to real-world impact. Penton discusses how LifeWise is helping families access quality education options that align with their values, the challenges parents face navigating public and private school systems, and why expanding school choice is crucial for America's students and communities.

Unbeknownst at the time, a little-known Supreme Court ruling from more than seventy years ago would ignite a growing movement of teaching the Bible during school hours called Lifewise Academy. The Bible-based education program has now partnered with over 1,000 schools across 35 states nationwide. When the federal government removed Bible education and prayer from public school curriculums, the Supreme Court ruled in 1952 on a compromise: Zorach vs Clauson.  It permits public schools to release students during school hours "for religious instruction or devotional exercises."  For years, the law went unnoticed and unfulfilled as secular forces in the public square banged the drumbeat of 'Separation of Church and State." But when former college football player Joel Penton discovered it, he took it and ran with it, creating Life Wise in 2019. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Penton talks about the new documentary on Life Wise called "Off School Property" and how the program has evolved to restore faith education on school property.  Off School Property will be released in theatres on October 23 in partnership with Fathom Entertainment.

An obscure law from the 1950s makes it possible for kids to leave their public school campuses for biblical instruction.

That's on this week's episode of Missions Today!LifeWise Academy

Get ready for this special episode that you needed to hear years ago. Let me say this plainly: Working for someone else is the riskiest thing you can do right now. For decades, we believed that a "good job" was the ultimate security. A steady paycheck. Healthcare. Maybe a 401(k) with a match. But that model is falling apart in real time. I've seen this from the inside. I've been the employee. I've been the boss. I've been the guy who signed the layoff papers. When I was at Penton we went through three rounds of layoffs in 18 months and it was devastating for everyone involved. And this continues today but at breakneck speed. Here's the truth: no job is safe anymore...especially in marketing. AI is replacing entry-level marketers faster than we can track. Some agencies I know are in desperation mode. The only advice brand marketing teams get is to lean more into AI. Is that even the right strategy? And executive teams still don't understand what content actually does...until they decide it's too expensive (even thought it's not) and cut it. Here's the harsh truth: Most people following the “good job, good life” blueprint are broke, stressed, unfulfilled, and trapped. The old dream isn't dead because people stopped working hard. It's dead because the game changed and nobody updated the playbook. ----- This week's links: Dallas Cowboys NOT America's Team Joe Pulizzi's New Book "Burn the Playbook" Pre-Order ----- This week's sponsor: You don't become the world's most valuable women's sports franchise by accident.

In this episode, we delve into the current legislative climate in Ohio as the state legislature rushes through a series of controversial bills during the lame duck session. The urgency to pass these bills stems from the impending expiration of the General Assembly at the end of December, compelling lawmakers to push through legislation that aligns with their agendas. One such bill is an alarming proposal would force public-schools to allow LifeWise Academy, an evangelical organization, to conduct religious instruction during school hours, undermining the secular nature of public education.The bills — House Bill 445 and Senate Bill 293 — would mandate public school districts to adopt a release time religious instruction policy, facilitating LifeWise's access to students for indoctrination under the guise of education. We emphasize the inconsistencies in the motivations of those advocating for such legislation, noting the hypocrisy of their concerns about indoctrination when it comes to secular subjects like critical race theory, while simultaneously promoting religious teachings in public schools.The episode features insights from bill hearings earlier this month, where key figures, including LifeWise founder Joel Penton, faced scrutiny over the lack of guidelines for their proposed programs. In a particular clip, Penton struggles to understand why there is growing opposition to LifeWise's encroachment into public education, attributing it to their increasing popularity rather than genuine concerns about the integrity of educational institutions and the rights of parents and children.Throughout the episode, we juxtapose comments made by LifeWise representatives with those of concerned parents and activists, such as Keith Comer, drawing attention to a disturbing trend where religious entities are increasingly seeking to integrate their agendas into public education under the cover of community service. Interestingly, the conversation shifts to how these legislative machinations are not just about religious freedom, but about securing a foothold for a particular ideology within our educational framework.Finally, we reflect on the implications of these policies if enacted, questioning whether public schools should be used as platforms for religious indoctrination under any circumstance. This episode serves not only as a critique of specific bills but as an urgent appeal for vigilance in protecting educational integrity from sectarian influences.Full show notes and links usedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Send us a textEmily Penton is the creator of The Inner Clarity System, which focuses on how to create your new way of being. Emily has learned that feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless is the false reality that comes with contaminated thinking. According to her, the food we eat is the first pollutant that creates the physical distress in our brains. The wrong combination of foods, along with the over-processed and imitation foods lock us into cravings and inflammation. Therefore, the brain and the body have diminished capacity, and excessive medications are used to feel better and overcome the brain fog.The toxic accumulation of chemicals becomes ineffective, and the residue builds, and bad food, unnecessary medication and crippled thinking create a powerful trifecta overlording our lives, which is no way to live.Emily Penton proposes a new way of freedom by creating a way of living that guarantees clarity, purpose and simplicity is the key to your being: a vibrant healthy body, a strong clear mind, and a true spirit.  And this peaceful transformation is attainable through the application of an animal-based diet, and retraining the brain!

Decades ago, our nation systematically removed Bible education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back. Under a little-known Supreme Court ruling, LifeWise empowers communities to provide Bible education for their public school students during school hours. Wednesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy joins us to talk about how this program has quickly grown to serve hundreds of schools across the U.S. each week, with tens of thousands of students attending LifeWise to receive a Bible class as part of their public school day.

Emily Penton, founder of the Inner Clarity System, faced severe mental health challenges six years ago. She felt worthless, reliant on medications, overweight, in constant pain, and emotionally isolated. Social interactions were draining, and she struggled with basic tasks like tying shoes or concentrating on reading. However, learning about simple eating and clarity principles brought a profound transformation. Now, Emily has been medication-free for four years, maintains a healthy weight, and enjoys pain-free living. She's mentally clear, emotionally resilient, and socially engaged. Her journey from hopelessness to empowerment inspires her coaching clients to find their own paths to freedom and fulfillment.   ✅Join my PATREON for early releases, bonus content, and weekly Zoom meetings! https://www.patreon.com/AnthonyChaffeeMD ✅Sign up for our 30-day carnivore challenge and group here! https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ ✅Stockman Steaks, Australia Discount link for home delivered frozen grass-fed and grass finished pasture raised meat locally sourced here in Australia!

LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel—during school hours!  When LifeWise launched in 2018, the initial goal was to serve 25 schools by 2025, but it surpassed that long ago. By the start of this year, LifeWise had set up chapters in more than 300 schools in a dozen states, teaching 35,000 public school students weekly Bible lessons that are usually scheduled to coincide with lunch or non core courses such as library, art or gym class.

Head Trauma, plus the Military, plus prostitution, domestic abuse and molestation all equals to a recipe for a Serial Child Killer.  Hold your glasses tight because this one is tragic.
