Are you praying for more money… but feeling like God's not answering?

 In today's episode, we're diving deep into the transformative world of breathwork with expert Adam Ludwin. 

Describing Lyas as a "fashion narrator" rather than a critic or commentator feels curiously apt in a moment when fashion could use a little more imagination and a little less judgment. Storytelling, after all, is what he does best — with a kind of honesty that carries weight without ever feeling heavy. Unlike many of his peers, Lyas is as much a creator as he is a commentator, sculpting himself into a living performance while quietly building a world behind the scenes with two films already in the works. His energy moves through the industry like a weather system — sometimes wild, but never without purpose — electrifying the air it passes through. He learned early that the worst thing anyone could do was ask him to tame himself, and it is precisely this refusal that has shaped his path. Fired from every traditional job he attempted, Lyas carved out a future that runs on instinct, imagination, and just the right measure of delusion. In an industry that often rewards conformity, he is a reminder that sometimes it is the unruliest forces that end up remaking the landscape. "I couldn't be normal. My normal is crazy." - Lyas  Episode Highlights: Growing up in Rouen - Lyas reflects on his early years in a city steeped in history but devoid of contemporary culture — and how moving to Paris unlocked his sense of identity and creative belonging. The Power of Performance - How 11 years of drama school shaped Lyas's relationship to fashion, storytelling, and self-expression — and why performance is an essential part of his daily life. Feeling the Most Tamed — and the Most Lost - A candid look at how being "tamed" or asked to tone down his personality deeply affected Lyas's sense of self-worth — and why authenticity became non-negotiable. Building a Career Without a Blueprint: - Lyas shares how unconventional paths, personal resilience, and creative hunger shaped a career that defies traditional expectations — and why doing things his own way became the only option. Living Rent-Free in Paris (and Building a Dream) - The surreal stretch of living rent-free during COVID — and how it gave Lyas the time and space to develop the projects that would launch his digital career. Making Fashion Critique Accessible - Why Lyas believes fashion commentary should be democratized — speaking to real people, not just insiders — and how he uses humor and storytelling to break down barriers. Choosing Integrity Over Industry Pressure - The moment Lyas chose honesty over maintaining industry relationships, after attending a disappointing show and refusing to stay silent. The Future of Fashion (and the Role of Excitement) - How Lyas manages to stay genuinely excited about fashion, especially by championing young designers, despite the industry's increasingly commercial pressures. Writing Stories, Not Just Reviews - Lyas shares his passion for screenwriting, the difference between writing scripts versus essays, and the films he hopes will challenge and change culture. What's Contemporary Now? Hatred — and Hope - Lyas's unexpectedly profound answer to the show's namesake question — that hatred feels contemporary today, but so does the community-building needed to fight it.

Athletes talk about it like it's magic. That moment when everything slows down, the game feels effortless, and they're completely in the zone.But what if flow state wasn't random? What if you could access it on demand?I sit down with Scott Ford—author, coach, and a pioneer in non-dual awareness in sport. He's spent over 40 years teaching athletes how to enter and sustain flow states intentionally, rather than just hoping it happens.What is Flow State in Sport?Why athletes describe being in the zone as effortless, timeless, and automaticThe difference between flow happening by accident vs. accessing it on demandThe key shift in focus and awareness that changes everythingHow to Train for FlowWhy “watching the ball” might actually be limiting your reactionsThe soft focus technique that allows you to see and react fasterHow to stop overthinking and let your body's intelligence take overBeyond Competition: The Non-Dual ApproachWhy traditional competition is dualistic (me vs. you) and how that affects performanceHow non-dual awareness allows athletes to co-create the game with their opponentsWhy playing in flow isn't just about winning—it's about playing at your highest levelPractical Applications for Coaches and AthletesHow tennis, rugby, and even Navy SEALs have applied Scott's workSimple drills to train focus, presence, and reaction timeWhy flow training is the next evolution in coaching and performance

Are you living in a transactional relationship with Jesus—believing that if you do enough, serve enough, or prove your devotion, then God will respond with blessings? Many people unknowingly approach faith this way, feeling pressure to perform in order to earn God's favor. But is this what true faith looks like? In this message, Brett Turner explores Luke 7:1-10, the story of the Roman centurion whose faith amazed Jesus. This centurion, despite his power, wealth, and influence, recognized something profound—he was not worthy, and he could not control the outcome. Instead of demanding Jesus' help based on his status, he simply trusted in Jesus' authority. His faith was not based on religious performance or personal merit, but on the belief that Jesus only had to say the word for healing to come. Key Themes: Faith vs. Performance: How transactional thinking leads to burnout and anxiety Freedom from the Pressure to Prove Yourself: Trusting in Christ's authority instead of striving for control The Power of Humility: How recognizing our limitations allows us to experience God's grace Jesus Marvels at Faith, Not Familiarity: The danger of becoming too comfortable with Jesus and missing His power A Call to Surrender: Moving from a works-based faith to fully trusting in God's promises Cultural Pressures and the Trap of Transactional Living Today's culture reinforces the belief that everything must be earned—success, recognition, approval, and even love. Children are placed in competitive environments from an early age, where their value is measured by their achievements. This mindset carries into adulthood, shaping how we approach relationships, careers, and even our faith. Many Christians live under the weight of spiritual performance, believing that if they just work harder, pray more, or behave better, then God will bless them. But Jesus never called us to a transactional faith—He calls us to trust in Him. The centurion's story offers a radical contrast to this mindset. Despite being a man of authority, he understood that his power and status meant nothing before Jesus. Instead of striving to earn Jesus' favor, he simply believed in His word. Have You Become Too Familiar with Jesus? In Mark 6, Jesus visits His hometown of Nazareth, where the people dismiss Him because they think they already know everything about Him. Their familiarity leads to unbelief, and as a result, Jesus could do no mighty works there. This is a warning for us today. Have we stopped believing that Jesus can work in our lives? Have we grown complacent in our faith? The invitation is not to try harder but to trust deeper. The Invitation: Moving Under Christ's Authority The centurion recognized his own limits and willingly placed himself under Jesus' authority. His faith was not about trying to control the outcome but about trusting the One who does. When we do the same, we experience freedom from striving, anxiety, and fear. Instead of approaching faith as a transaction, we are invited into a relationship of trust—where Jesus' love is not based on our performance, but on His grace. How Will You Respond? Do you feel pressure to earn God's approval? Have you settled for a faith that is based on habit rather than expectation? Are you ready to surrender control and trust in Jesus' authority? If you are weary of striving, Jesus is calling you to come under His authority and let Him speak a word over your life. His grace is not something to be earned—it is a gift to be received. Listen, reflect, and step into the freedom of faith that trusts in Christ alone. #Faith #TrustingGod #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTeaching #Luke7 #Sermon #JesusAuthority #ChurchOnline #ChristianFaith #GospelMessage #WalkByFaith #SurrenderToGod #FollowingJesus

When designing a mindfulness retreat, one key question arises: Does the previous experience of the participants matter? Should a retreat for beginners look different from one for experienced practitioners? How much structure is needed versus allowing space for organic practice? In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo explores the balance between guidance and openness when leading mindfulness retreats. He shares practical approaches to ensuring retreats are engaging and beneficial for both new and experienced practitioners—without overcomplicating the experience. Whether you're planning your first retreat or refining your approach, this episode covers how to design retreats, support different experience levels, and help participants feel confident in their practice. What You'll Discover: How to design a mindfulness retreat for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The importance of simple, clear instructions without overloading participants. How to support newcomers struggling with self-doubt or an overactive inner critic. The role of self-compassion and mindfulness in overcoming fear and resistance. Why every mindfulness experience—even a beginner's session—is always fresh and new. Sean reminds us that mindfulness isn't about doing things perfectly—it's about learning to meet each moment with awareness, curiosity, and kindness. Timestamps: [00:01:00] Does Experience Matter? – Structuring retreats for different experience levels. [00:10:00] Providing Guidance Without Overloading Information – Keeping it simple and clear.

Let's cut to the chase - managing teams and projects can be a huge time suck for results-driven quick-starts like you and me. It just isn't efficient. I was talking to Dan Sullivan about this and he shared The 4x4 Method that has the power to move your team beyond traditional management and empower them to take ownership of their roles. With this tool, you can move away from top-down management and create a culture where everyone is a leader and contributor. The 4x4 Method has four performance metrics with four participation metrics: Performance: How are you showing up? Are you alert, curious, responsive, and resourceful? It's about being proactive, not just going through the motionsResults: How are you making things faster, easier, cheaper, and bigger? This is all about innovation and efficiency. Being a Hero: How are you going above and beyond to create real value for the company? Think about how you can make a significant impactWhat Drives Me Crazy: This is the "what not to do" list. It's about avoiding things like falling behind, being isolated, and just following orders without any initiative4x4 participation is voluntary, but non-participation will be noticedComplete an updated 4x4 every quarter4x4s are posted online for full transparency$250 incentive each quarter ($1000/year) for those who complete the 4x4 each quarter KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:18] I used AI to create an updated incentive program that's based on the 4x4 framework Dan has been using for over 10 years in Strategic Coach[00:01:32] The 4x4 Framework is designed to get your team thinking about their roles in a whole new way.[00:04:39] Invite people to participate in the 4x4 process voluntarily, but non-participation is going to be noticed. This is all about creating ownership. The whole company should do this every quarter. It's not a one-off thing. It's about how they will perform, show up, and the results they'll achieve. We're talking about being alert, curious, responsive, resourceful. And the results are faster, easier, cheaper, and bigger.[00:07:55] Dan shares how he used the 4x4 with Gord Vickman when he first came on board. He got a page outlining how he could be a "hero", and what would drive Dan crazy. He says that one of the things that would drive him crazy is when someone is isolated and disconnected. You have to be specific with your expectations.[00:08:54] Gord comes on to talk about his experience with the 4x4, and he says it felt like getting the answers to the exam. The 4x4 gave him a clear idea of what was expected, which is more than a typical job description.[00:11:43] The 4x4 is broken into four sections:Performance: How you show up – alert, curious, responsive, resourceful.Results: Faster, easier, cheaper, bigger.Being a hero: This is open for interpretation, but it's about creating value.What drives me crazy: Specific things to avoid.[00:12:57] I used Ai to generate 4x4s for my team and then create an updated incentive program for them. I had a dialogue with it on exactly what kind of new incentive program we could have. Ai can save you days of work, but you need a framework like the 4x4 to make the psychology accurate.[00:16:46] Dan's incentive strategy for 2025 offers team members $250/quarter for filling out their 4x4s and posting them online. It's about creating a company-wide focus, transparency, accountability, and focus. It helps team members see what works.[00:19:22] SNEAK PEAK: I demonstrate how to use Ai with forms – I take a quick picture, drop it into ChatGPT, and have ChatGPT fill it out. (This saves HOURS.) [00:21:40] Dan explains that by making the 4x4s public, people will naturally see who is being specific and measurable in their goals. It's a way of learning without having a class, that will help team members become more specific and practical.[00:23:14] The 4x4 process will help you build a self-managing company because self-managing companies are built from self-managing individuals.[00:23:55] The fourth quadrant (what drives you crazy) is not something to be feared. It's like a tiger cage - you have to try hard to get yourself in there.[00:34:42] The 4x4 process helps us move towards the mindset of "How can I be a hero to the customer and the company?” The "hero" objectives are fun, they allow you to make guesses and bets about what could work.[00:41:18] The goal is for this to be a process where the players will show up to play and give people who've never been heard from a chance to develop themselves. Surprising benefits include a shift in the culture and mindsets. This 4x4 system is a game-changer for building self-managing teams that are accountable and produce real results.Want to join me for a Cup of Coffee at my Digital Cafe?  Meet 1:1 for a virtual session, where we'll spend 30 minutes brainstorming your “Next Act”, next big opportunity, or biggest challenge you want solved.

Depression and anxiety are plaguing our children, and stress is often a root cause...what can we do about it?Whether we actually live stressful lives or simply stress ourselves out (or social media plays a role in over-stimulating our amygdala and fight or flight response), there's no doubt in my mind that Americans are experiencing stress, and are not all that great at dealing with it.And it's showing in our children!Past guest, Dr. Kelly Brogan, said, "Children are our sentinels," when something is wrong. With 1/3 of teens reporting anxiety and 9-13% clinically depressed, it's time to listen up.

In this illuminating discussion, hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu break down the four fundamental ways AI models become smarter: pre-training (long-term memory), context/prompting (short-term memory), real-time reasoning (inference-time processing), and fine-tuning (specialized learning). Using real-world examples from Bloomberg GPT and Apple's strategy, they explain why bigger models aren't always better and how companies can achieve remarkable results by intelligently combining these different approaches to model intelligence. Kadiu provides a masterclass in understanding AI model development, challenging common assumptions about specialized models while explaining why current AI capabilities are sufficient for most applications over the next 4-5 years.Post-Thanksgiving Welcome and Updates (00:00:07)Warm opening with hosts sharing Thanksgiving experiencesDiscussion of family gatherings and cooking adventuresSetting the stage for a technical but accessible conversationUnderstanding Model Intelligence: The Four Paths (00:29:06)Pre-training explained as "long-term memory" for modelsContext/prompting described as "short-term memory"Real-time reasoning capabilities during inferenceFine-tuning as a specialized learning approachHow these methods combine in practical applicationsPre-training Deep Dive (00:31:07)Explanation of the "P" in GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer)How pre-training works as foundational knowledgeCost implications of extensive pre-trainingTrade-offs between model size and performanceContext and Prompting Insights (00:32:44)Role of context in model performanceHow prompting provides short-term guidanceExamples of effective context usageImpact on model accuracy and resultsReal-time Reasoning Capabilities (00:34:06)How models perform inference-time reasoningInternal processing and decision-makingBenefits of self-guided problem-solvingExamples of reasoning in actionFine-tuning and Specialization (00:36:16)When and why to use fine-tuningCost benefits of specialized trainingReal-world examples of successful fine-tuningLimitations and considerationsPractical Applications and Cost Considerations (00:42:26)Analysis of decreasing model costsSpeed vs accuracy trade-offsWhen to use which approachFuture trends in model developmentIndustry Examples and Case Studies (00:47:20)Bloomberg GPT's lessons learnedApple's strategic approach to AIOpenAI's revenue modelSuccess factors in model deploymentLooking Forward: The Next 4-5 Years (00:49:13)Current capabilities vs future needsRole of evaluation and testingImportance of proper toolingBalance between innovation and practical application - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

We explore the effectiveness of body weight exercises in building strength muscle, especially after menopause, and touch on the concept of progressive overload and how it's not just about adding more weight, but also about improving technique and controlling the load, and debunk the myth that menopause requires a completely different approach to fitness and nutrition.We also have a conversation about the intricacies of serving sizes and how to determine the appropriate amount of food for your needs. We share our personal experiences and insights on how to approach serving sizes mindfully, and discuss the importance of slowing down to listen to your body's signals, experimenting with portions, and understanding that the suggested serving sizes on packaging are just that—suggestions."My digestion has thanked me for slowing down.

If you're familiar with professional hockey, you likely know the name Zdeno Chara (also known as, ‘Big Zee'). He's the legendary 6-foot-9 defenseman, enforcer, and team captain of the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins who was a dominant force in the NHL for an incredible 24-season career.He also represented his home country of Slovakia in numerous world championships and three Olympics.What you might not know is that humility, kindness, and leading by example are the cornerstones of his leadership philosophy. Not what you think when you consider his legendary status in the rough-and-tumble world of pro hockey.You also may not know that since retiring from the NHL, Zee has not slowed down – he's competed in 8+ marathons, a half iron man, and a 50K race. Not typical for someone with Zee's monstrous 6'9” build. That's the thing about Zee – he's more than meets the eye.In our conversation we discuss how he puts his philosophy into practice:How good days as well as bad days are opportunities for learning and growthThe importance of an athlete's schedule… even when you're no longer in the gameUsing mental imagery for peak performanceHow giving up control is the key to great leadership…and much more!Zee surprised me with his insight and compassion – and I think we all have something to learn from the way he organizes his inner life, and executes at the highest level. I can't wait for you to jump in and learn as much as I did about the real Zdeno Chara.With Fire,MG-----WATCH this episode on our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.Order my book, "The First Rule of Mastery" HERE!For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.com.To check out our exclusive sponsor deals and discounts CLICK HERESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
