Welcome to another episode of HALO Talks! In today's episode, Integrity Square Founder and host Pete Moore sits down with Steve Marchese, the founder of LightStim, to dig into the transformative power of LED light technology and its growing role in med spas and wellness centers across the country. Steve shares the LightStim origin story, which was born out of a personal mission to help his own son combat dangerously high blood pressure when traditional medicine offered no solutions. What started as a family "Hail Mary" turned into years of rigorous innovation, FDA collaboration, and breakthroughs in the science of light therapy. The conversation touches on how LightStim developed from handheld devices for skincare to pioneering full-body LED beds, navigating ongoing regulatory controversies of LED and red light therapy, and the persistence needed to create products that truly deliver results. After a few years, Steve saw an opportunity to expand, developing adjustable facial panels for the professional market. This new direction quickly gained traction, and soon, his company was supplying advanced skincare technology to nearly 50,000 spas, med spas, and doctors' offices across the country. Pete and Steve discuss not only the science and technology "backbone" of the products, but also the entrepreneurial journey, the realities of protecting intellectual property, and the future of wellness tech in the HALO sector. Plus, Steve relays a very cool story about how LightStim helped NFL star Saquon Barkley make an unlikely comeback. (Just one example of the real-world results this technology can achieve!)  When they made the decision to build an LED bed, Steve states, "There really weren't any beds on the market at that time. We didn't know what it would do, but it was kind of our Hail Mary. The bed ended up taking us six years working directly with the FDA and millions of dollars to actually perfect it before we put it on the market." Key themes discussed Development and innovation of LED light therapy beds. FDA clearance and regulatory challenges for medical devices. Family-run business and entrepreneurial journey. Scientific explanations: ATP and nitric oxide impacts. Industry competition and copycat products. Legal risks and class action lawsuits. Med spa and HALO sector expansion. A Few Key Takeaways:  1. Persistence in Innovation Leads to Breakthroughs: Steve shared the challenges of developing LightStim—what began with handheld LED devices for wrinkles, acne, and pain, evolved into a full-body LED bed. The driving force was personal: Helping his son with dangerously high blood pressure when traditional medicine couldn't. This persistence, trial and error, and working closely with the FDA led to a patented technology that now serves both home consumers and professionals in 50,000+ locations. 2. Understanding Science Behind Red Light Therapy: The effectiveness of their LED bed wasn't mere luck. Initially Steve thought the improvement was due to increased ATP production in mitochondria. Later, with input from Dr. Nathan Bryan, he realized the real impact was in the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. 3. Navigating Regulatory and Legal Landscapes: Getting FDA "clearance" (not "approval"—that's for drugs), especially for a full-body device, is an extremely rigorous process requiring through technical testing and proof of efficacy. Steve explained (some of the many) specific FDA requirements that go into this, such as needing to heat the whole body to the right temperature. Few competitors can actually demonstrate passing these tests, despite what they claim, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now aggressively policing unsubstantiated wellness claims. 4. Dealing with Competition and Copycats: When asked how he handles rivals with copycat products, Marchese emphasized focusing on building a trustworthy brand and continuing to innovate, rather than spending resources on chasing down every infringer. He pointed out that regulatory and legal scrutiny (from both the FTC and class action law firms) is also helping to weed out companies making unsupported claims. 5. Growth and Family-First Business Approach: LightStim is a classic case of a family-run business that managed to scale. Steve mentioned his wife runs the company as President and his son is now COO—showing a strong family dynamic and a personal connection to the business's mission. The company supports large-scale franchise partners and offers both purchase and leasing options for its products.

This week, Brad Kirby teaches from Matthew 7:7–12, where Jesus invites us to stop striving and start trusting. Prayer isn't a transaction; it's an expression of love between a Father and His children. When we ask, seek, and knock, we're not trying to get God's attention. We're responding to the God who already loves us. And in that space of dependence, we discover that the best gift isn't what He gives. It's who He is.

In this conversation, author Michelle Knudsen emphasizes the critical role of persistence in the writing industry, highlighting that success is often not immediate and can be influenced by many external factors. She encourages writers to find joy in the writing process itself, as it is the only aspect they can truly control amidst the uncertainties of publishing and reception. We also discuss her latest middle grade book, Into the Wild Magic.Into the Wild Magic is a middle-grade fantasy novel about an eleven-year-old girl named Bevvy who escapes into a magical world with a new, mysterious friend named Cat. The book features a world at war between those who wield "wild magic" and dark sorcerers, and explores themes of friendship, trust, and self-discovery as Bevvy learns to embrace her own magical abilities. Key takeaways from this episode: The most important thing you need to succeed in this business is persistence.You can write an amazing book and not be able to sell it.It's essential to keep going despite challenges.Finding joy in the writing process is crucial.Many factors influencing success are out of your control.Small successes in writing matter, regardless of big recognition.Enjoying the work itself is what you can control.Overnight success stories can be misleading.Persistence is key to navigating the ups and downs of writing.The Podcast Inside Your HouseWeird Horror.

Persistence is an admirable quality... ask any toddler. The widow's persistence against an unjust judge in Luke 18 is exactly the persistence needed by Christians today... prayer, prayer and more prayer for justice and for Jesus' second coming. This is not a "change God's mind" or a "God, I'd really like..." kind of prayer, but constant prayer that sets our eyes on that glorious day when Christ returns. This active faith trusts in God's character and plan, and is crucial for maintaining hope in a struggling world.

In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan takes the reins, diving deep into strategies for client communication, drip campaigns, frameworks for business growth, and timeless investing wisdom inspired by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. With Rode Dog traveling, Karl delivers practical advice for coaches and their clients—from executing high-impact email sequences to structuring offers that sell and building true wealth through the power of compounding. Key Topics Covered Drip Campaigns & Funnels that Convert Karl Bryan breaks down the anatomy of effective drip campaigns—using not just email, but texts, voicemails, calls, and even direct mail—to stay top of mind and drive prospects towards action. He emphasizes nurturing, education, and persistence over hard selling, revealing real-world examples of campaigns that generated over a million dollars in revenue. Building High-End Programs and Upsell Funnels Karl encourages coaches to help clients create tightly defined, high-ticket programs ($10k, $25k, $50k+) with robust profit margins. He explains the importance of segmenting audiences and tailoring drip sequences, stressing that coaches should study successful operators in competitive markets to shortcut their own learning. The Psychology of Offers Discussion includes using urgency, scarcity, guarantees, bonuses, and exclusivity to motivate buyers—drawing on real-world tactics from luxury brands and industry leaders. Investing Wisdom from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger Karl unpacks Buffett's two rules—don't lose money; see Rule #1—and shares how the path to true wealth is rooted in patience, clear math, and avoiding movement for movement's sake. He links these principles to business coaching, stressing the power of compounding marginal gains in practice, career, and investment. Actionable Wealth Creation Strategies Explores practical frameworks for investing in business, stocks (S&P index), and real estate, emphasizing dollar cost averaging, critical thinking, and learning from bubbles/past mistakes. Notable Quotes "Performance improves by releasing tension, judgment, and overthinking—not by piling it on." "Educated people buy more. Educate your leads through that sequence of emails, texts, calls, voicemails, etc. It's not buy, buy, it's educate, educate, educate." "Persistence is a measure of your self-esteem. Do you persist? Do you feel like you deserve the business?" "Rule #1: Don't lose money. Rule #2: See Rule #1. Avoiding stupidity automatically places you in the top 1% because the rest of the crowd is too busy chasing brilliance." "Real wealth is built the old boring way, staying the course, math as the foundation." Actionable Takeaways Expand Your Drip Campaigns Beyond Email: Utilize a sequence of texts, voicemails, calls, and direct mail in addition to emails to maximize client engagement. Educate Relentlessly: Focus on teaching and adding value through every touchpoint. Selling comes after trust and knowledge are built. Create Tightly Defined High-End Offers: Help clients establish premium programs with clear outcomes and strong margins; research top players in competitive markets for proven frameworks. Test, Measure, and Refine: Track the performance of campaigns and offers, adjust based on data rather than gut feelings, and always aim for compounding marginal improvements. Motivate Action With Urgency & Scarcity: Build "windows of opportunity," enrollment periods, and limited-time bonuses to prompt decisions. Lead with Guarantees and Exclusivity: Structure guarantees (money-back, buyback, long-term, double-your-money-back) and consider exclusive tiers or bonuses to differentiate. Avoid Movement for Movement's Sake: Apply Buffett and Munger's principles: patience, compounding, and critical thinking beats frequent switching and chasing trends. Invest with Dollar Cost Averaging: For wealth outside business, consistently invest fixed amounts into the S&P index or bitcoin, regardless of market cycles, and avoid leverage. Segment Your Audience: Tailor messaging and offers based on client behaviors and demographics for better results. Prioritize Compounding Improvements: Focus on small gains across multiple areas—these add up exponentially in your business and wealth over time.

Kat Armas joins Shifting Culture to talk about her new book, Liturgies for Resisting Empire, a powerful exploration of how empire shapes the way we think about God, community, time, and ourselves. She names the ways control, hierarchy, and productivity have distorted our faith and imaginations, and invites us into practices of resistance rooted in love, rest, and belonging. Kat offers a vision of wholeness that embraces paradox over dualism, kinship over domination, and peace over violence. This conversation points us toward a more human way of living. One where we belong without conditions and find God in the places empire forgets.Kat Armas is a Cuban American writer, speaker, and theologian from Miami, FL. She holds a ThM from Vanderbilt Divinity School, and a dual MDiv and MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary where she was awarded the Frederick Buechner Award for Excellence in Writing.Her first book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength, sits at the intersection of women, decolonialism, the Bible, and Cuban identity. Her second book, Sacred Belonging: A 40-day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture invites readers to encounter the Bible through a decolonized lens, lifting up themes of creation, wisdom, spirit, the body, and the feminine.Kat has spoken at seminaries, universities, and conferences nationwide and her work has appeared in the National Catholic Reporter—where one of her essays was shared by the pope!, Plough Magazine, The Christian Century, Christianity Today, Sojornours Magazine, and more.Kat currently lives on a small farm in middle Tennessee with her family—which includes her spouse, young children, chickens, goats, pigs, dogs, and cats.

For at least two centuries, ideas of international relations and grand strategy have been premised on the notion of “great powers.” These were mighty states uniquely able to exert their influence through overwhelming military force. In the words of friend of the podcast Leopold von Ranke, a great power was one who could “maintain itself against all others, even when they are united”—but my guest, Phillips Payson O'Brien, argues that this definition is ahistorical nonsense.Indeed “great power” he says, has always been a tautology. Nor has it been helpful or accurate to focus who has the biggest armies. And dreaming of decisive battle has blinded us to what truly determines victory: the capacity to mobilize and sustain industrial power, logistics, technology, and global reach.In his new book War and Power: Who Wins Wars and Why, O'Brien dismantles some popular myths of military and diplomatic history and replaces them with a far more dynamic picture—one that redefines how states fight, how they win, and how we should understand power itself in the twenty-first century.For this episode's show notes, and other resources, go to the Historically Thinking SubstackChapters & Timestamps00:28 – Introduction: Challenging the Great Power Myth03:25 – The Persistence of Short War Myths08:22 – The Political Nature of Warfare14:06 – Power Rightly Understood: Economic and Technological Strength20:59 – Society, Structure, and the British-American Power Transition27:36 – Constructing and Regenerating Military Forces46:16 – The Importance of Strong Alliances39:23 – Understanding War: Beyond Battles and Single Weapons45:16 – Human Elements: Leadership, Training, and Morale49:54 – Technological Adaptation: From WWI Aircraft to Modern Drones57:30 – Applied History and the Problem of Transparency57:52 – Outro / Credits

In this episode, Christina Lecuyer gets real about a moment that hit harder than she expected — being called a “life coach.” What seemed like a simple label sparked frustration, self-doubt, and a deeper question of identity. Christina opens up about what it's like to feel misunderstood in your work, why certain words can trigger old insecurities, and how to move through emotional reactions instead of letting them define you.She shares the inner work she had to do: realizing where the anger came from, why proving herself mattered so much, and how she reclaimed her voice and confidence in the consulting space. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt misjudged, underestimated, or boxed into a version of themselves that didn't feel true.If you're in a season of redefining yourself, this conversation reminds you that growth is rarely clean — but always worth it.

How can you create something so authentic that your customers become your loudest advocates? According to consumer product growth and brand strategy veteran Filip Keuppens, building an authentic brand starts with truth, humility, and action. Instead of controlling the narrative, he advises leaders to let users experience the product and share honest feedback, even if it's negative. Additionally, showing up, listening, and leading by example is the foundation for lasting growth and team trust. Genuine credibility can't be bought; it's earned through consistency and transparency.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with journalist-turned-novelist and writing coach John DeDakis about how writing can support emotional healing. From journaling through grief to shaping lived experience into fiction, John shares practical ways to face fear, access the subconscious, and build momentum one sentence at a time. We cover: using daily journals to process emotion, the discipline journalism teaches storytellers, moving toward pain rather than numbing it, and a simple ten-minute “I feel…” prompt to safely begin. If you're coping with loss or struggling to start your book, this conversation is a direct, grounded roadmap to begin today.   About the guest  : John DeDakis is an award-winning novelist, longtime journalist, and writing coach. Across a 45-year journalism career—including 25 years at CNN—he reported, edited, and taught storytelling. His mystery/thrillers draw from real life while helping readers and writers navigate grief, meaning, and craft.   Key takeaways: Start where you are: a daily journal creates structure to witness emotions, spot patterns, and steady yourself without pressure to publish. Use the “I feel…” sprint: write continuously for ten minutes beginning with “I feel…”. Do not edit. This bypasses perfectionism and surfaces what needs attention. Move toward the pain: clarity grows by facing fear (of judgment, failure, imperfection) rather than anesthetizing it; action builds confidence. Craft follows honesty: first drafts can be messy; revision is where journalism's clarity and concision strengthen the story. Interview your characters: ask, “Who are you and why do you want to be in my book?” to dip into the subconscious and unlock voice, motive, and plot. Persistence is psychological fitness: patience through rejections and rewrites develops both craft and self-awareness. Grief is broader than death: losses of health, work, relationships, or innocence also deserve space on the page. Measure progress in steps, not miles: like a difficult hike, look back often to see how far you've come; momentum is built one page at a time.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://johndedakis.comBooks, coaching, speaking, and contact details are available on John's site.

Persistence that Transforms

Joint Sword 2024: China's Anaconda Strategy Against Taiwan and Washington's Persistence in Failed Engagement. Captain James Fanell and Bradley Thayer assert that America must urgently reverse its strategic errors regarding China. Fanell notes that China is currently demonstrating aggression toward Taiwan, announcing two days of "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises conducted very close to Taiwan, inside the contiguous zone. China is using the recent inauguration speech of Taiwan's new President Lai as the casus belli, claiming his equating Taiwan and China as two separate nations constitutes a move toward independence. Fanell expects the operation to include ballistic missiles fired into closure areas, with China practicing targeting key areas, blockading, and isolating Taiwan. The PRC is employing an "Anaconda strategy," increasing pressure and suffocating Taiwan. Bradley Thayer assesses Washington's response, stating that fundamentally, little has changed despite some rhetorical and policy shifts, as the Biden administration remains influenced by the "engagement school." Thayer attributes the persistence of this flawed framework to the PRC's strategy of "elite capture," spanning Wall Street, the Chamber of Commerce, think tanks, K Street law firms, and Congress.

In a church context that held great potential for apostasy, Timothy faced the task of leading through the example of his lifestyle and work. Faithful ministry, Paul explained to him, flows from godly character—speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity—and from wholehearted devotion to Scripture, exhortation, and teaching. Alistair Begg considers Paul's guidance to Timothy, which can help today's pastors, too, as they seek to watch themselves and their doctrine closely and see themselves and their hearers saved. Bible passages: 1 Timothy 4:11-16
