I start the episode with gratitude for the love of my life, Ethel Mertz my dog, my mother, and the opportunities I have. I acknowledge the sadness of loss but cherish the happiness I have experienced. Missing Ethel's stinky breath, her spot on the velvet couch, and the way she refused to eat out of a normal dog bowl.

Is there a situation in your life that just isn't right? Are you frustrated by the injustice of it all? Do you feel like God must be plugging His ears to your prayers? Jesus told a story that shows how much our Judge loves our audacity—our chutzpah—our relentless asking. He doesn't just want polite prayers; He invites us to come boldly with our needs, doubts, and frustrations.

Tough weekend for me. Grief snuck up and bit me in the arse. Grief is a challenging and painful experience, but it is important to recognize and acknowledge it. While it is natural to want to stop and dwell in the sadness, it is crucial to keep moving forward and find ways to cope. By doing so, one can eventually find happiness and light on the other side of grief. People are interacting with the intention of a social media post, but not registering for events.

Rewarding mediocrity. In this episode, we are diving deep into the infuriating shift from reality TV being dismissed as "cheap trash" to suddenly being award-worthy—but only when it looks a certain way. We are dissecting why the Television Academy completely ignored the cinematic, dark brilliance of Phaedra Parks' dungeon fallout but handed a nomination to Summer House. We are not buying the "white damsel in distress" narrative they are selling, and it's time to call out the hypocrisy. #BravoTV #RHOA #SummerHouse #Emmys #DoubleStandards #RealityTVReview #HousewivesHistory #PopCultureCriticism Explore our Roast-to-Order Subscriptions: www.fbroasters.com Connect with us on Instagram: @tnfroisreading Follow our creator journey: https://linktr.ee/tnfroisreading   #CoffeeSubscription #RoastToOrder #SpecialtyCoffee #HomeBrewing #SmallBatchCoffee #CoffeeLover #CreatorAuthenticity #EthicalSourcing

A new report by the New Mexico Department of Justice says Native students are disciplined more harshly and miss more school days from suspensions than other students at Gallup-McKinley County Schools. The school district has a majority Navajo student population and was the focus of a 2023 news investigation that prompted calls for further investigations. In South Dakota, education leaders are looking into the state’s licensing exams after research shows a disproportionately low number of Native teacher candidates pass the costly exam. Native teachers are in short supply in the state and Native education advocates say that streamlining licensing requirements could be barrier.

"In the end, it always comes down to fuel" when it comes to airline earnings, says David Nelson. He explains how Strait of Hormuz volatility hits companies like Delta Air Lines (DAL) after the company posted an earnings beat. David notes Delta's premium customers offering insulation for strength, though he expects competitors to catch onto the trend. He outlines how the headwinds and tailwinds play into his big picture for Delta and other airlines.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Most solopreneurs believe the hardest part of building an income stream is starting, but the true challenge is knowing when to keep going versus when to pivot. This episode of Join Up Dots helps you solve the struggle of the "boring middle" by identifying whether you are facing a temporary grind or a structural dead end in your solopreneur journey. We dissect the "persistence trap" that causes many business owners to waste years walking down the wrong road. You will learn to apply a systematic framework to your business, helping you distinguish between the boredom that often accompanies true mastery and the stagnation that signals it is time to adapt your strategy.

If you feel like you are dragging yourself uphill every day, this episode provides the clarity you need to perform an energy audit and reclaim your focus. We explore how to fix your business trajectory, scale your efforts, and ensure you are building a sustainable lifestyle rather than just a source of daily frustration. Stop confusing denial with patience. Listen to this episode to master the art of the pivot and finally build a business that works. Follow Join Up Dots today for more insights into scaling your solopreneur business and mastering the mindset required for long-term freedom. #solopreneur #businessburnout #entrepreneurmindset #pivotyourbusiness #joinupdots #businessstrategy #scaleyourbusiness #solopreneurlife #businessgrowth #mindsetshift #entrepreneurship #businesstips #sustainablebusiness #personaldevelopment #businesssystems #quitquitting #overcomeburnout #smallbusinessowner #freedomlifestyle #successmindset

In this episode, we are diving deep into Seasons 1 through 3, dissecting why this raw, unfiltered "new money" magic worked so well, and exposing the masterclass in projection that is Shereé Whitfield. We break down Shereé's historic, three-time run as a peach holder and examine how her "fashion show with no fashions," imaginary acting career, and constant shade toward actual business moguls (looking at you, Tags boutique) exposed a deep-rooted spirit of envy. Why did she turn up her nose at tangible, wealth-building infrastructure while building an empire based entirely on unreturned contractor phone calls? We've got the receipts. Plus, we look at the performative perfection of DeShawn Snow's brief tenure and set the stage for our upcoming deep dives into the rest of the foundational cast.

Rather train yourself for godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 9 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. 10 For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. 11 Command and teach these things. 12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.1 Timothy ResourcesBecoming Like Jesus - Matt ChandlerCreature of the Word - Eric Geiger, Matt Chandler, Josh Patterson1 Timothy series - Kyle Mercer1 Timothy series - Joby MartinNo More Excuses - Tony EvansDoctrine - Gary Breshears, Mark Driscoll

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday that will be charged with tension over the US leader’s views on Greenland, European defense spending and the Iran war. Trump arrives in Turkey on Tuesday, when he will meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan before a summit with the full defense alliance the next day, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said. Meantime, Ukraine failed to intercept a single Russian ballistic missile in a deadly overnight attack on the eve of the NATO summit, highlighting Kyiv’s growing vulnerability as shortages of US-made Patriot air defenses become acute and peace talks remain stalled. Eleven people were killed and 60 injured in the overnight strikes on Kyiv that caused destruction in several districts of the city, damaging multiple residential buildings, Zelenskyy said Monday on X.2) Oil fluctuated in a narrow range, as flows through the Strait of Hormuz persisted and OPEC+ signaled higher supplies. Brent traded above $72 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was near $69. Oil and gas shipping along a US-protected corridor in the waterway showed signs of recovering Sunday, a day after several vessels had performed unexplained U-turns and detours in the energy chokepoint. Separately, OPEC+ members backed another modest rise in quotas for next month, with seven nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia agreeing to add 188,000 barrels a day in a further roll-back of curbs made several years ago.3) US futures signaled a mild rebound in technology stocks at the start of a week in which South Korea’s memory giants will put the artificial-intelligence trade to yet another test. Nasdaq 100 contracts climbed 1% after the US holiday break. The Stoxx 600 hovered near a record high. Asian stocks fluctuated, with Samsung Electronics Co.’s 164% year-to-date rally set to face the spotlight when the chipmaker releases earnings for the June quarter on Tuesday. The report will be followed days later by peer SK Hynix Inc.’s massive ADR listing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The last multifamily cycle exposed some hard truths—and the investors who learn from them will be better positioned for whatever comes next. In this episode, Gary Lipsky breaks down the five biggest underwriting lessons from the recent downturn, explaining why refinancing is a risk, not a strategy, why rent growth can't rescue a weak business plan, and why break-even occupancy, conservative leverage, and healthy reserves matter more than ever. He also challenges the mindset behind "Survive until '25" and "Persist until '26," explores what truly separates great operators from the rest, and shares the critical questions every passive investor should be asking before investing in a deal.

The cast split into warring factions, creating an environment so toxic that Bravo executives famously executed a "mass firing" at the end of the run. Key Storylines & Episode Hooks The Post-Bethenny Power Vacuum: With Bethenny Frankel gone, Jill Zarin tries to regain her status as the "Queen Bee" via a highly calculated, failed apology tour. The Arrival of Cindy Barshop: The one-season wonder introduces the world to "Vajazzling" while immediately clashing with Ramona and Sonja over arbitrary Upper East Side "pecking orders." The Morocco Disaster (Episodes 8–10): The defining trip of the season. Luann acts like a colonial matriarch, Ramona complains about the country being "dirty," and Alex McCord breaks out in literal stress hives while attempting to crash a dinner party. The Real Vibe: Pre-MAGA Populist Elitism Long before the modern political landscape had a name, Season 4 was its perfect blueprint. Kelly Bensimon weaponized language to live in a post-truth reality, coining the phrase "systematic bullying" to escape accountability. Ramona Singer proudly practiced the "rules don't apply to me" philosophy—physically shoving women to grab the best bedrooms and dismissing anything outside her zip code as "the boonies."   Season 5: The Great Reboot (2012) The Setup Out with the old, in with the new. Bravo cleans house—firing Jill, Kelly, Alex, and Cindy—and introduces three brand-new housewives to shake up the mainstays (Ramona, Sonja, and Luann). Key Storylines & Episode Hooks The Enter of the Alpha (Heather Thomson): Sharp shapewear CEO Heather enters yelling "Holla!" and immediately sets boundaries with Ramona, completely refusing to bow to her bullying. The Radical Fragility of Aviva Drescher: Aviva introduces a highly glossy Upper East Side aesthetic, but her deep-seated phobias quickly take center stage. The St. Barth's Trip (Episodes 11–14): The peak reality TV crossover. Luann gets caught sneaking a French pirate into her bedroom and frantically speaks French on the phone to hide it, while Aviva arrives late and calls Ramona and Sonja "white trash" for not throwing her a party just for getting off an airplane. The Real Vibe: Weaponized Victimhood Season 5 perfected the art of using personal trauma as offensive artillery. Aviva Drescher used her prosthetic leg and medical anxieties as a bulletproof shield—positioning herself as the ultimate aggrieved underdog while simultaneously insulting her peers, demonstrating how loud privilege can completely rewrite group accountability.

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it's ugly, it's chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway.

We're stepping away from the screens and into the "Soul of the Valley"—a curated, luxury retreat experience designed specifically for leaders who are tired of managing everyone else's needs but their own.

This week on TrendsTalk, ITR Economist and Speaker Taylor St. Germain breaks down the latest housing market data and explains why housing activity remains under pressure despite signs that the decline is beginning to stabilize. With affordability challenges, elevated mortgage rates, and existing home sales hovering near levels seen during the 2008-09 financial crisis, what does the outlook hold for builders, suppliers, and businesses tied to housing? Will improving trends in 2026 be enough to spark a meaningful recovery, or is the housing market facing a longer road ahead?

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive In 1 Timothy 4:11–16, where Paul calls Timothy to set the standard by teaching the truth, living as an example, and devoting himself to the ministry of the Word. He also charges him to stay the course by guarding his life, watching his doctrine, and persevering in faithful ministry.

A new Brookings article examines the ways colonias in the Rio Grande Valley continue to be disinvested and what needs to be done to improve conditions.

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it's ugly, it's chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway. Healing isn't a destination; it's a daily practice of showing up for yourself with a clear head and a grateful heart. I'm diving into my personal "wellness reset" and the daily rituals that keep me grounded: from seated morning Zumba to get the blood pumping, to a mindful, system-flushing herbal tea blend (ginger, rosemary, lemon balm, and basil), and of course, that essential morning cup of single-origin Kenya coffee from FB Roasters. We also explore the mental nourishment of reading, ancestral practices, and how it all connects to the Afro-Druid ethos of interconnected healing. Plus, I share a hilarious cautionary tale about accidentally making my French roast a little too strong this week!   Reset With Me: Valley of the Soul Retreat I am hosting an intimate wellness retreat right here in Chattanooga at the Glamping Collective from July 23rd through July 26th. With only 10 spots available, this is your opportunity to quiet your soul, enjoy solitude or fellowship, and receive life through yoga, tai chi, sound baths, and guided meditation.

Despite weeks of diplomacy and repeated claims a broader agreement is close, conflict continues across the Middle East. Israeli forces have expanded operations in Lebanon, civilians have again been killed in Gaza, and uncertainty remains over negotiations between Iran and the United States.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining Amazon's aggressive push into urban micromobility with a ten-month e-cargo bike pilot program in Washington, D.C. deploying up to fifteen battery-powered bikes through independent delivery partners. This marks Amazon's second U.S. pilot following Brooklyn in 2024, and builds on a global network that delivered 170 million packages via micromobility in 2024 across more than forty-five cities worldwide. Meanwhile, a sobering reality check from the banking sector reveals that stronger freight rates haven't translated into healthier carrier balance sheets at BMO, one of the largest lenders to trucking. Gross impaired loans stood at $417.2 million U.S. dollars, while allowances for credit losses climbed to $86 million from $57 million a year earlier, signaling continued financial stress across the carrier segment despite recent market improvements. Finally, we explore how fleet technology provider Motive is betting that artificial intelligence can solve the industry's most persistent operational headaches with its new AI Dashcam Plus and Atlas assistant unveiled at Vision 26 in Nashville. The dashcam combines telematics and cameras into a single unit powered by a Qualcomm AI processor capable of running over thirty AI models simultaneously, while Atlas scans safety, compliance and fuel data to generate morning briefings and draft personalized driver messages, saving fleets an average of twenty hours per week.

Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about golf. And before you check out because you're not a golfer, hang with me for a minute — because this episode isn't really about golf. It's about life. It's about what happens when things don't go according to plan. When the ball lands somewhere ugly. When you're stuck behind a tree, buried in the sand, sitting in a divot, or staring down a shot you didn't want and didn't ask for. In golf, there's a phrase: play it as it lies. You don't get to move the ball just because the situation is inconvenient. You don't get to pretend the shot is easier than it is. You don't get to rewrite reality so it matches the version you had in your head. You look at what's in front of you. You accept the lie. And then you play the next shot. That idea has become one of the most useful metaphors in my life. Because life, like golf, rarely unfolds exactly the way we imagined. Even our best-laid plans run into rough patches. The course changes. The weather shifts. The terrain surprises us. Sometimes the thing we thought would be straightforward turns into the hardest shot of the day. And the question becomes: Can you stop fighting reality long enough to respond to it? That's what this episode is about. Not golf tips. Not swing mechanics. Not how to lower your handicap. It's about resilience. Presence. Ego. Preparation. Adaptability. Learning from mistakes. And remembering that the little things — the short putts, the quiet choices, the small daily actions — often matter just as much as the big dramatic swings. Here's the thing golf teaches you fast: You can do almost everything "right" and still end up in a bad spot. You can prepare. Practice. Visualize. Get coaching. Set goals. Build routines. Show up with the best intentions. And still, eventually, you're going to hit one sideways. That's not failure. That's the game. And more importantly, that's life. The people who keep growing aren't the ones who never hit bad shots. They're the ones who learn how to recover. They're the ones who don't let one ugly moment become the story of the whole round. They're the ones who can take a breath, look at what's real, and ask: What's the best next move from here? The Core Idea You don't get to choose every lie. But you do get to choose how you play it. That's the heart of this episode. In golf, the course is full of imperfections. A root here. A bunker there. A weird patch of grass. A branch that grew out at exactly the wrong angle. A divot you didn't create but now have to deal with. You don't get to pretend those things aren't there. You have to confront the reality of the shot. Life works the same way. Sometimes you get the clean fairway lie. Sometimes you're in the rough. Sometimes you're blocked. Sometimes the conditions change overnight. Sometimes you did everything you could and still landed somewhere difficult. The mistake most of us make is wasting energy wishing the lie were different. But the power move is acceptance. Not passive acceptance. Not resignation. Not pretending you like the situation. Acceptance as in: This is what's true. Now what? That mindset builds resilience because it pulls you out of fantasy and back into agency. It reminds you that while you may not control the terrain, you still control your next swing. What You'll Hear in This Episode This episode is built around a set of lessons golf has taught me — lessons that reach far beyond the course. Why "play it as it lies" is one of the best life philosophies for dealing with reality, setbacks, and uncertainty How to stay present after a bad shot instead of letting one mistake define everything that follows Why your best shot might come right after your worst one — and what Tiger Woods can teach us about staying neutral The hidden value of playing with someone new and staying open to unfamiliar people, personalities, and situations How ego quietly ruins the game — in golf, creativity, business, relationships, and life Why mistakes are feedback when you're willing to study them without shame What it means to play against the course instead of obsessing over comparison Why preparation matters even when you can't control the outcome How the little things add up — the one-inch putts, the daily habits, the small choices that shape the final score Play It Like It Is The first lesson is simple: play it like it is. In golf, the traditional phrase is "play it as it lies." Wherever the ball lands, that's where you play from. You don't get to deny the circumstances. You don't get to pretend you have a perfect lie when you don't. You don't get to spend the whole round frustrated because the course has imperfections. You adapt. That's such a powerful life lesson because so much of our suffering comes from arguing with what's already true. We think, This shouldn't be happening. Maybe it shouldn't. But it is. And the faster we can stop resisting reality, the faster we can begin responding to it. This doesn't mean you don't have emotions. It doesn't mean you don't get frustrated. It doesn't mean you don't acknowledge that something is hard or unfair or disappointing. It means you don't stay stuck there. You look at the lie. You study the conditions. You adjust. You play the next shot. That's resilience. That's adaptability. That's life. Your Best Shot Can Follow Your Worst One One of the most iconic moments in golf came from Tiger Woods at the Masters. The shot itself was extraordinary — the ball rolling slowly, almost impossibly, toward the hole, pausing for a split second, then taking one final turn and dropping in. But what makes that moment even more powerful is what came before it. That incredible shot followed one of his most disappointing shots of the tournament. That's the lesson. Your best shot can come right after your worst one. But only if you stay present enough to take it. Most of us do the opposite. We make one mistake and immediately leave the moment. We replay what went wrong. We narrate the failure. We spiral. We decide the round is ruined, the project is doomed, the day is shot, the dream is over. But the next shot doesn't care about the last one. It only asks whether you're here. That's the discipline: staying neutral. Staying composed. Staying available to the possibility that something beautiful can happen next. Not because you're pretending the bad shot didn't happen. Because you're refusing to let it own the rest of the round. Play With Somebody New Golf has this funny thing built into it: sometimes you show up and get paired with people you don't know. That can feel awkward. It can feel inconvenient. It can feel like a curveball. But if you stay open, it can also be a gift. You might play with someone who's been at it for nine months or nineteen years. You might learn something from a beginner. You might learn something from a veteran. You might meet someone you never would have crossed paths with otherwise. You also might get paired with someone who doesn't exactly light you up. And that's part of the lesson too. The point isn't that every stranger becomes a lifelong friend. The point is that there's value in staying open. There's value in learning how to share the course. There's value in practicing patience, kindness, curiosity, and connection over a few hours. Life works this way all the time. We get paired with coworkers, collaborators, clients, neighbors, strangers, and people whose rhythms are different from ours. Sometimes it's magic. Sometimes it's friction. But either way, there's something to learn if we're not closed off before the first shot. Disconnect From the Ego Golf will expose your ego fast. It's hard to hit a tiny white ball with a club toward a hole hundreds of yards away. It's hard to do it consistently. It's hard to make the body, mind, mechanics, course, weather, and emotions all cooperate at the same time. And because it's hard, the ego wants to jump in. It wants to explain every bad shot. It wants to justify every mistake. It wants to narrate every swing so nobody thinks less of you. I used to do this all the time. Good shot, bad shot — I had a comment. An explanation. A little story about what happened or why it happened. Eventually, I realized: it doesn't matter. That was all ego. The shot is the shot. The score is the score. The work is the work. When you can detach from constantly judging yourself — good or bad — you free up so much energy. You can laugh. Learn. Keep going. Try again. You can be in the experience instead of performing an identity around the experience. That's true in golf. It's true in creativity. It's true in leadership. It's true in life. The ego wants protection. The game requires presence. Learn From the Mistakes Golf is endlessly humbling because no two rounds are exactly alike. The course changes. The grass changes. The greens change. The wind changes. The pin placement changes. The conditions you played yesterday may not be the conditions you face today. That means mistakes are inevitable. But mistakes are also information. When a shot doesn't go as planned, you have a chance to study what happened. Was it your setup? Your focus? The wind? The club selection? The lie? The speed of the green? Your emotional state? The point isn't to shame yourself. The point is to learn. This is one of the biggest differences between people who keep improving and people who stay stuck. Stuck people turn mistakes into identity. Growing people turn mistakes into feedback. Nobody plays a flawless round. Nobody lives a flawless life. The goal isn't to avoid every mistake. The goal is to build the capacity for error recovery. To adapt. Improve. Persist. Keep moving. That's where growth happens. You're Playing Against the Course Yes, golf can be competitive. You can play against other people. You can compare scores. You can enter tournaments. You can measure yourself against the field. But at its core, you're playing the course. You can't hit someone else's ball. You can't control their swing. You can't determine how they handle pressure, luck, weather, mistakes, or momentum. You show up and play your round. That's such a useful way to think about life. We spend so much energy comparing ourselves to other people. Their success. Their timing. Their resources. Their audience. Their path. Their scorecard. But comparison pulls us out of our own game. Your job is to play the course in front of you as well as you can. That doesn't mean you don't care about excellence. It doesn't mean you don't compete. It means you understand where your power actually lives. Your preparation. Your choices. Your attitude. Your recovery. Your next shot. When you focus there, the results have a way of speaking for themselves. Preparation Is Key Preparation matters in golf just like it matters in life. Not everyone can swing like a pro. Not everyone has the same athletic ability, experience, or natural feel for the game. But everyone can prepare. Everyone can stand over the ball with intention. Everyone can build a routine. Everyone can line up carefully. Everyone can take the setup seriously. That's a powerful distinction. You may not control the outcome, but you can control the setup. In life, that might look like how you start your day. How you enter a conversation. How you prepare for a meeting. How you train your body. How you manage your attention. How you create the conditions for better work. No Olympic hurdler goes from the couch to the starting line without warming up. And yet so many of us expect ourselves to perform at a high level without creating the conditions that make performance possible. Preparation isn't glamorous. But it compounds. And when the pressure comes, you'll be grateful you built the habit before you needed it. The Little Things Matter One of the funniest things about golf is that a 390-yard drive and a one-inch tap-in both count as one stroke. The big swing and the tiny putt have the same weight on the scorecard. That's humbling. It's also a perfect metaphor. In life, we tend to overvalue the big moments. The launch. The deal. The breakthrough. The dramatic decision. The visible win. But the small things matter just as much, often more. How you start your day. How you speak to people. How you recover from frustration. How you express gratitude. How you care for your relationships. How you practice when nobody's watching. How you handle the little putts. A successful life isn't only built on big swings. It's built on the accumulation of small, deliberate actions repeated over time. The details count. The short shots count. The quiet moments count. Every stroke matters. Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) If you're not listening straight through, here are a few landmarks to help you find the part that speaks to where you are right now: 01:46 – Why golf became an unexpected obsession again 03:13 – The lessons from the course that go way beyond golf 03:41 – Lesson 1: Play it as it lies 05:58 – Lesson 2: Stay present after a bad shot 07:42 – Lesson 3: Play with somebody new 09:30 – Lesson 4: Disconnect from the ego 11:13 – Lesson 5: Learn from mistakes 14:13 – Lesson 6: You're playing against the course 15:58 – Lesson 7: Preparation is key 17:32 – Why the little things matter as much as the big swings 19:00 – Bringing the lessons together: presence, ego, mistakes, preparation, and playing the lie you're given Read This If Life Has You in the Rough If you're in a season where things aren't going according to plan, I want you to hold onto this: You don't have to like the lie to play it well. You can be frustrated and still be powerful. You can be disappointed and still be capable. You can wish things were different and still take responsibility for the next move. That's the work. So much of life is learning how to stop waiting for perfect conditions. We tell ourselves we'll begin when the timing is better, when the resources are better, when the path is clearer, when the lie is cleaner. But the course rarely offers perfect conditions. And if we wait for them, we miss the game. The question is not, Is this the shot I wanted? The question is, What does this shot require? That shift changes everything. It moves you from complaint to creativity. From resistance to agency. From ego to presence. From helplessness to the next right action. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into action, take a few minutes and sit with these: Where in my life am I refusing to accept the lie in front of me? What reality am I arguing with that I could be responding to instead? What was my last "bad shot," and what can it teach me? Am I letting ego narrate my mistakes instead of simply learning from them? Where am I comparing my round to someone else's instead of playing my own course? What small habit, detail, or "one-inch putt" deserves more of my attention? How can I better prepare for the challenges I already know are coming? What would it look like to stay present for the next shot? A Simple Practice for Playing It As It Lies Here's something practical you can do this week. Pick one area of your life where the conditions are not ideal. Maybe it's work. A relationship. A creative project. Your health. Your schedule. Your finances. A goal that feels harder than expected. Then write down three things: The lie: What is actually true right now? The resistance: What do I keep wishing were different? The next shot: What is one useful action I can take from here? Keep it simple. Don't solve your whole life. Don't redesign the entire course. Don't wait for clarity to arrive in perfect form. Just play the next shot. Because momentum doesn't come from perfect conditions. It comes from honest action. Final Thought Golf has reminded me that life is not just the big swings. It's the small strokes. The recovery shots. The bad lies. The quiet adjustments. The willingness to laugh, learn, reset, and keep moving. It's playing with new people. It's staying present after disappointment. It's disconnecting from ego. It's preparing well. It's learning from mistakes. It's remembering that you're not really playing against everyone else. You're playing the course in front of you. And some days, the ball is going to land in a divot. Some days, it's going to end up in the bunker. Some days, you're going to look down and think, Really? This is what I have to work with? Yes. That's the lie. Now play it. Until next time: stay present, let go of the ego, prepare well, and remember — play it as it lies.

New scorecards are out for school districts across the country. Known as the Education Scorecard, the results in Minneapolis Public Schools show large achievement gaps across race and class. The findings are based on average test scores from 2022-2025. MPR News host Nina Moini talked with two guests who have worked to address educational disparities in Minneapolis about what to make of the numbers. Bernadeia Johnson was superintendent of Minneapolis Public Schools from 2010 to 2015. She is currently a professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Jennifer Stern is CEO of Great MN Schools, a nonprofit that works closely with public and charter schools in Minneapolis.MPR News has reached out to Minneapolis Public Schools for a statement.

Thanks for understanding and listening.   Revisit Setting Intentions...Pope Leo Still Kicking the Knowledge; Sun Tzu Could Not Have Imagined New Age Chinese or 50 Cent Level of Petty. Revisiting this episode because sometimes you have to repeat yourself for it to stick... If you believe God has healed you from a physical illness, mental illness, or some type of imbalance, why are you still moving the same way you did to break your body so much down to your genetic code, or in an alternate reality, or your credit score in the single digits? What if what you believe is not a true Godly revelation but your own self-centered counsel? Truth comes in many forms.   What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type is the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you.  3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you.  Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts.  5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives.  Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace.  Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge.  Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!!
