Episode #110 – Danny Johnson: Clean Comedy, Big Faces & Long Roads In this episode, I sit down with Danny Johnson, a stand-up comic who's been making people laugh for over 15 years without having to get dirty to do it. Danny's style is clean, relatable, and packed with those now-famous facial expressions that somehow say more than the punchlines. We talk about life on the road, how his comedy has evolved, and what it's like building a career that works just as well in comedy clubs as it does at corporate events and churches. Danny shares stories from performing alongside some absolute legends, filming comedy specials, and what it takes to stay funny while staying yourself. We also touch on: ·         Writing comedy that stays fresh (and clean) ·         Performing everywhere from cruise ships to packed theaters ·         His wildly popular Dry Bar Comedy special and newer releases ·         Life as a local comedy fixture in North Florida ·         Story about a celebrity doing a very nice thing Danny's easygoing, quick-witted, and genuinely funny — this episode feels more like hanging out than an interview. https://youtu.be/3aZgNtk66Q8?si=CE-sBhQrFAtAl21P

By the time a woman reaches midlife, she has usually learned the rules: stay pleasant, stay young-looking, stay non-threatening. Don't take up too much space. Don't show the edges. And definitely don't age out loud. The cost of that agreement, however, is the slow erasure of her voice, her authority, and her truth. In this episode, I sit down with actress Constance Zimmer to talk about aging in Hollywood, the fear and grief that can come when opportunities narrow after 50, and the sovereignty that emerges when women refuse to go quiet. Constance shares the story behind her iconic Entourage audition, how her most "unlikable" characters became the most relatable, and why she's now building spaces for women to tell midlife stories across stage, screen, and community. Inside this episode, we explore: The myth that actors "choose" roles - and what it's really like when opportunity chooses you How Constance landed Entourage by walking in with nothing to prove and everything to own What shifts for women after 50 in Hollywood - and why the silence can feel terrifying Why midlife often becomes a creative ignition point tied to purpose and legacy The vision behind The Midlife Monologues and creating platforms where women's stories are centered The cultural cost of erasing women's aging faces - and the message it sends to our daughters How women heal through truth-telling, witnessing, and community - without fixing or performing This episode is for the woman who can feel the old programming creep in - the voice that says, "Stay likable. Stay small. Stay young." If this conversation moves something in you, share it with a sister who needs the reminder. Because that's what sisters do.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Questioning the fiduciary label Recognizing bad advice despite credentials Performing personal due diligence Choosing advisors carefully and staying informed   Key Takeaways:  "Fiduciary" is often misused by advisors as a marketing badge rather than a guarantee of acting in the client's best interest. Consumers should not assume a plaque or certification automatically equals sound advice. Even certified fiduciaries can make improper or risky recommendations, as illustrated by a reverse mortgage case leading to unsuitable annuity and insurance products. Titles and certifications do not replace critical evaluation of financial advice. Do your own research, ask questions, and verify recommendations, especially when products are complex or seem too good to be true. Relying solely on an advisor's credentials can expose you to financial harm. Stan recommends fee-only fiduciaries for non-annuities but urges extra caution when advisors sell annuities. Seeking second opinions and consulting specialists helps protect against misleading or unethical guidance.   "People are hiding behind a certification. They're hiding behind that F‑word, fiduciary, to recommend products that make no sense." —  Stan The Annuity Man   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Caring for a parent with dementia is one of the most challenging experiences a person can face. What happens when that aging parent is also a difficult person? This adds a heavy layer to an already complex situation. Furthermore, how do you handle a difficult personality when their memory is failing? The physical and emotional toll can be immense. In addition, caregivers often feel isolated and alone. They struggle with their own grief and exhaustion. Meanwhile, they are asked to provide constant care for a particularly difficult loved one. We explore this unique caregiving challenge. This episode dives into one caregiver's raw and honest story. He found a path forward. Ultimately, his journey shows that finding peace is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances. Our Guest: Josh Hickman Josh Hickman is a writer and visual artist who grew up in various parts of Texas. His education included studying painting and sculpture at the Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts and writing and film at the University of Texas at Austin. The author of seven books and numerous articles, short stories, and poems, he lives and works with his dog Sammy in Dallas, Texas.

Are you truly worshiping Jesus… or just performing? In today's Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues the Christmas account and walks through Matthew 2:11–12 (KJV) to show what real worship looks like.The wise men didn't only come to see the King—they came to worship. Scripture says they fell down before the young child, and then they opened their treasures and presented gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This devotion reminds us: worship is deeper than singing, talking, or tradition. Worship begins with humbling ourselves, giving ourselves to the Lord, and then giving from what we have (Romans 12:1–2).Pastor Webster also warns about a quiet enemy: self. If we're not careful, self will get more time, more money, and more attention than God. But when a person truly gives themselves to Christ, nothing feels “too good” to offer Him.Finally, the wise men were warned of God in a dream not to return to Herod—and they went home another way. It's a powerful heart-check: Will I obey God rather than men? (Acts 5:29)If God is redirecting your steps, listen to His voice—He will not lead you wrong.✅ Like, comment, and share this devotion with a friend or family member.#WorshipJesus #Matthew2 #ChristmasDevotion #KJV #WordsFromTheWord0:00 The wise men worshiped0:49 Worship = falling down1:21 Jesus rejects false worship1:50 Worship & bow down (Ps 95)2:25 Don't worship men (Acts 10)3:06 Don't worship angels (Rev)4:10 Worship through giving4:45 Give yourself first (Rom 12)5:35 “Self” fights worship6:32 Gifts: gold, incense, myrrh7:33 Warned in a dream8:37 Obey God over men (Acts 4.5)9:26 How God guides & warns10:20 Will you obey God today?

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, real estate investors! Scott Carson here, bringing you another special episode that's all about making money move. Today, we're heading to the true heart of north Texas – Fort Worth (sorry, Dallas) – to chat with one of our note investing rockstars, Brian Dills. This part-time investor is still rocking his full-time gig in education but is building a killer cash flow portfolio, one sweet performing note at a time!Brian's journey is a masterclass in evolving your investing strategy. He started in property management, built and sold a successful company (a feat many just crash and burn!), and even dipped his toes into being a realtor. But it was note investing that truly moved the needle, especially after he "paid the tuition" on a tricky Pennsylvania deal – a valuable lesson that shifted his focus to the steady rhythm of performing notes. Now, he's got a gem on his hands, and you're getting an inside look!Here's what makes this Fort Worth performing note a true Texas-sized opportunity:A-List Asset, Prime Location: Dive into the details of a single-family, first-lien deed of trust in a desirable Fort Worth zip code, boasting a conservative market value of nearly $200,000.Borrower Commitment is King: Discover why the borrowers' history of consistently overpaying to catch up makes this a low-risk, high-reward scenario – they're serious about keeping their home!Sweet 8% Passive Return: Learn how you can plug your idle capital (hello, Self-Directed IRA!) into this deal for a solid 8% interest-only return over 24-36 months, with Brian still banking nearly $300/month in cash flow.Equity Cushion & Texas Speed: Understand the massive equity gap, making this a super secure investment, and why Texas's fast foreclosure laws offer an extra layer of protection (though the goal is always win-win!).The Power of Consistency: Hear how Brian sourced this "in-his-backyard" deal through consistent networking on LinkedIn, proving that showing up and following up works to find off-market opportunities.This isn't just about a single deal; it's a blueprint for building passive income, leaving the rat race, and becoming AI-searchable (if you've been listening!). Brian is living proof that consistent effort and a laser focus on cash flow can get you where you want to go. If you're looking to fund this gem or other future deals, reach out to Brian at brian@heritagefinancialholdings.com or call him directly at (682) 203-7789. Don't let your money sit on the sidelines when you can earn an above-average return and help a fellow investor succeed.

Why good communication requires presence, not performance.Effective communication isn't about perfecting your performance. According to Dr. Kate Mason, it's about being powerfully present.Mason is a world champion debater, executive communication coach, and author of the book Powerfully Likable. In her work coaching senior executives to communicate more effectively, she emphasizes that it's not about creating a performative persona, it's about uncovering the authentic communicator you already are. “The coaching is just bringing the real parts of you to the fore,” she says, “uncovering rather than totally building from scratch. A lot of people come to me and say, I need to be more warm or more insert adjective here. And I say, I'm not gonna help you be more warm if that's not what's coming naturally to you. I am gonna help you work out the thing you're already doing, the thing you're already saying, how to make that comfortable for people around you.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mason and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for more present communication. From avoiding "imposing syndrome” to reducing “the delta between your real self and that corporate persona,” Mason's insights explore how we can bring more of our true selves to the table.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kate MasonKate's Book: Powerfully LikeableEp. 210 First Impression to Lasting Impact: Use Status Strategically Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - Why Confidence Is the Wrong Goal (03:55) - Bridging Your Real and Work Selves (05:27) - What Is Imposing Syndrome?

What does it really mean to stay connected to your singing voice—especially in quiet seasons, when you're not practicing, performing, or making much sound at all? In this episode, we explore what actually counts as singing for singer-songwriters, and how creativity and voice remain present even when the voice goes quiet. If you're in a slower season, returning after a break, or feeling unsure how to stay connected to your voice right now, this episode offers reassurance, permission, and a gentle reframe. We talk about the many forms creativity can take, including listening, writing lyrics, exploring meaning through words, creative cross-training, and rest. You'll be invited to see silence and stillness not as a loss, but as an essential part of the creative cycle—like the rest in music that allows the next sound to emerge. If you're longing to reconnect with your singing voice without pressure, judgment, or performance, you're in the right place.

Interview Date: August 24th, 2025Episode Summary:In this captivating conversation, Juliet Prowse, author of Born to Dance, joins The Business of Dance Podcast to share the untold story of her legendary aunt, the late Juliet Prowse — a trailblazing British-South African dancer and actress who conquered Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Broadway.From performing alongside Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley in Can-Can and G.I. Blues to headlining her own million-dollar Vegas residency, Big Juliet redefined what it meant to be a female entertainer in a male-dominated era. Little Juliet takes listeners behind the scenes of her research journey — discovering a red suitcase of letters, interviewing former collaborators, and piecing together the life of a woman who never waited for permission to shine.The discussion unpacks the discipline, athleticism, and business savvy that made Juliet Prowse one of the highest-paid performers of the 1970s, plus stories of her engagements to Sinatra, her friendship with Elvis, and her unstoppable work ethic that kept her dancing until her final days.This episode is perfect for dancers, musical-theatre artists, and history-minded creatives who want to learn from one of the greats — and be reminded that success is built on grit, artistry, and courage to create your own opportunities.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome & introduction to Juliet Prowse interview(3:00) – Little Juliet shares the story behind her famous name(13:18) – Discovering a red suitcase & inspiration to write Born to Dance(16:00) – Big Juliet's early Hollywood years & Vegas debut(21:03) – Athleticism, costuming, and Bob Mackie's extravagant designs(25:39) – Breaking barriers: creating her own Las Vegas show(31:22) – The million-dollar Desert Inn contract & Vegas legacy(36:29) – Life, love & rumors — Sinatra, Elvis, and beyond(41:23) – Performing through illness & leaving a lasting impact(1:03:00) – Lessons for today's dancers: hard work, creativity, & legacyBiography:Juliet Prowse never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents' attic, filled to the brim with articles about her famous aunt, the dancer/entertainer Juliet Prowse, she felt she just had to tell this story.As a seasoned communications professional, Juliet was used to writing, but to ensure the authenticity of her first book, Juliet waded through over 1 000 newspaper articles and letters, largely written by her dancing aunt to her mother (the author's grandmother), and spoke to over 20 people who had performed with Juliet. Known as Big Juliet and Little Juliet in the Prowse household, Little Juliet inherited her aunt's athleticism and became a South African runner, but she was never as graceful as her famous aunt who was born to dance.Juliet has an MBA from the University of Cape Town and a science degree from the University of Nebraska. She lives in Cape Town where she is an avid theatregoer and sports lover.Connect on Social Media:Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572702340283Website: www.julietprowse.com

You've mastered leadership. But speaking what's actually true for you—especially when it's uncomfortable? That's the edge this episode is for. There have been seasons where Celinne couldn't fully speak her truth. In a ceremony with 40 witnesses, she was forced to dig to the depths of her being and speak the words rising in her chest. The vibration of that truth didn't just shift her—it shifted the entire room. In this episode, Celinne shares the hidden cost of self-silencing, the physical sensation of truth that demands to be spoken, and what happens when you have the courage to speak even if your voice shakes. You'll learn a simple practice for excavating your truth for authentic leadership, how to recognize when you're performing instead of transmitting, and why one soul feeling less alone is sacred impact. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:01 Discover the courage to speak even when your voice shakes 06:24 Witness the visceral impact of speaking truth to 40 people 08:46 Learn why we teach what we're most here to learn 16:01 Explore the hidden cost of self-silencing as self-abandonment 20:01 Understand why we're not afraid of being judged—we're afraid of being understood 01:13:41 Recognize the permission you give others when you stop performing 01:19:06 Practice the hand-on-heart method to excavate your truth KEY IDEAS: ✨ Truth has a physical sensation: When truth rises through you, it creates pressure in your chest—speak it or suffocate. Self-silencing is a form of self-betrayal that compounds over time. ✨ Performing vs transmitting: Performing is speaking from your head, ego, and strategy. Transmitting is speaking from your heart, soul, and the depths of your being. The room feels the difference. ✨ Sacred impact over metrics: You don't need a million likes. You need one soul to feel less alone because of what you said. Leadership is one person at a time, not follower counts. Celinne Da Costa is a podcast host, author, and coach for leaders navigating 'I've made it—now what?' She guides them to redesign their next act: more meaningful, more aligned, more fun... and led by their soul's truth. Website | LinkedIn | Substack | Instagram | Facebook p.s.

2025 didn't ask for transformation, it demanded it. For me, that meant shedding so many layers of protection and armor to let myself be truly seen. In today's episode, we go deep on the difference between performing vulnerability and actually letting someone in. Because you say you want intimacy…but are you actually bringing your vulnerability, or are you throwing it like a weapon and calling it connection? We explore: What vulnerability actually means versus performing it or using it as a weapon Activiely choosing to go first in vulnerablity and how it can shift your entire relationship and love life, even when it doesn't feel fair - and how to completely shift that resistance entirely The art of feminine communication and learning to speak from your heart instead of your head The IMMENSE power you as a woman wield in relationship and in the world, and how to use it from a place of deep devotion to love itself The four questions you can ask yourself to access true vulnerability with an open heart The total energetic shift that makes you more magnetic than ever How to exercise more presence and trust with your partner   You'll walk away with tools to access your true needs, speak from the heart, and embrace vulnerability as a source of connection rather than depending on intellectualizing or allowing fears to take over.   --> Book a call with me to talk about options on how we can work together in 2026!     EPISODES REFERENCED Episode #375: Can You Trust Him More? how to Love and Trust More Deeply Episdoe #117: The 9 Year Affair: Lessons in Infidelity     CONNECT WITH EMILY Grown Ass Woman Era: Group details HERE Book a Connection Call With Emily To Work Together COUPLES COACHING with Emily & Kelly Gardner (apply here) Get Your FREE Guide "The Four Tools Missing From Your Relationship" here Follow Emily on Instagram: @emilygoughcoach Website: https://emilygoughcoaching.com/  BOOK: "You Grow Me: The Next Level Human Philosophy of Love, Sex and Romantic Connection

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Is diabetes truly a life sentence, or can you reverse it without relying on drugs like Metformin or Ozempic?   I talked with Chris Reade, who discovered a serious health condition after a life insurance exam. His A1C went from normal to a high 9.1 in 10 months because of visceral fat around his pancreas. Doctors told him this disease was progressive and incurable, but Chris refused that sentence. He researched and found a simple strategy focused on using soluble fiber to control blood sugar spikes. This method forces weight loss naturally by providing bulk, reducing hunger, and mitigating the effect of sugar. His approach involves practical, everyday systems like habit stacking and focusing on food volume to give control back to the individual.   Key Takeaways Type 2 diabetes is caused by the accumulation of visceral fat (more than a gram or two) on the pancreas, which hinders its function. It has been known since the 1970s that you can absolutely reverse diabetes. Losing more than 10% of your body weight causes the body to pull fat off the pancreas, leading to the reversal of Type 2 diabetes roughly 80% of the time. Soluble fiber, found in foods like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, oatmeal, and chickpeas, slows digestion and absorbs sugar, mitigating blood sugar spikes. By focusing heavily on soluble fiber, you feel very full all the time, which is a key mechanism for effortless weight loss and managing cravings. Performing even a small amount of exercise, such as two to five minutes of walking immediately after a meal, can knock blood sugar down by up to 25%. The current medical model for treating diabetes in the U.S. is structured to promote dependency on medication, making diabetes prevention and remission less of a focus.   Resources Website: https://www.beatingdiabetes.us Book: Beating Diabetes by Chris Reade. https://www.beatingdiabetes.us/the-book Instagram: @beatingdiabetesus https://www.instagram.com/beatingdiabetesus LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beatingdiabetes/   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.
