Donald Trump is the hammer of the Christian nationalists that built America, and rely on forever wars to assert their dominance. In this special live Gaslit Nation taping, Andrea discusses the real story behind Trump/Kushner and Israel's war. The Trump/Kushner families get to grift, illegally enriching themselves, endangering our national security and very lives, while the Pentagon looks the other way.  At least the Washington, DC elite, along with Israel, finally get their war with Iran.  As Andrea has long warned: World War III has already started. This week, Gaslit Nation provides the stories behind the stories, mapping out where this is all headed, and most importantly, what we can do to resist and build a better world. This week's bonus episode will be the Q&A portion of our live-taping, featuring questions from our audience.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Lavar Thomas. Motivational speaker, author, Peace Corps alumnus, leadership coach, and founder of Empower for Greatness. Lavar’s mission is to help people transform “from the inside out” so they can live with greater intention and purpose. The conversation explores Lavar’s upbringing in Brownsville, Brooklyn; his life-changing Peace Corps service in Rwanda; his understanding of faith, purpose, failure, and leadership; and how he built international development programs such as Leaders of the Free World, which exposes young Black men to global travel and leadership experiences. He discusses how stepping outside his comfort zone—from traveling abroad for the first time to navigating Rwanda after only knowing it through “Hotel Rwanda”—opened his worldview, deepened his empathy, and developed his leadership style. Lavar explains how a major project failure in the Peace Corps forced him to redefine success beyond titles, money, or recognition. This experience ultimately inspired his book, The Other Side of Letting Go. He also shares how he balances a federal government job with building his speaking and training company. The interview concludes with a powerful discussion on purpose, reinvention, leadership, and the role travel plays in expanding one’s mindset—especially for communities that are historically underrepresented in global spaces. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Lavar’s transformative journey from Brooklyn to global leadership. Rushion showcases how Lavar’s experiences shaped his philosophy and mission. 2. To educate listeners about purpose‑driven living and leadership Lavar explains why purpose—not money—is the “real currency,” and how aligning with purpose drives impact. 3. To inspire people to step beyond their comfort zones The interview emphasizes how discomfort and uncertainty can spark growth. 4. To reveal the value of international exposure for Black men Through Leaders of the Free World, Lavar advocates for global experiences that shift identity and opportunity. 5. To discuss resilience, reinvention, and personal development From project failures to the death of his father, Lavar shows how adversity can reshape purpose and leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Faith requires action Lavar describes faith as taking steps without knowing the outcome—“believing in the future before it becomes reality.” 2. Growth happens outside the comfort zone Comfort zones feel safe, but they also create limits; stepping beyond them leads to self‑awareness and transformation. 3. The Peace Corps experience was life‑changing Rwanda taught him service, humility, language, cultural understanding, and the power of community trust. 4. Failure can be an important redirection When his library project collapsed, Lavar learned to detach from ego and redefine success through impact, not image. 5. Purpose is the real currency Operating in purpose helps you add value, understand your worth, and ultimately generate income more meaningfully. 6. Leadership includes being willing to pivot He shifted from a failed library project to impactful malnutrition programs, partnering with USAID to train families. 7. Personal setbacks can sharpen identity and mission His father’s death led him to pause graduate school, attend therapy, and rebuild himself—learning leadership through vulnerability. 8. Global exposure changes lives Leaders of the Free World gives young Black men access to international travel, allowing them to reimagine their potential. NOTABLE QUOTES On faith “Faith is taking steps without even knowing the outcome… believing in the future I see in my mind before I see it in reality.” On stepping outside comfort zones “Every time I step beyond that line, I grew… I realized new possibilities for myself.” On failure “Failure is life redirecting you.” (Recalling Oprah’s teaching). On purpose “Purpose is the real currency.” On redefining success “I had to learn how to redefine success for myself—not in the glamor of a project, but the impact I was having.” On reinvention after loss “I had to step away and rebuild LaVar… focusing on my family taught me so much about leadership.” On travel and identity “Something shifts in them when they return. They see their lives differently and their community differently.” #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Life doesn't come with instructions. There's no manual, no perfect roadmap, no moment when everything suddenly clicks. No one has it figured out.In this video, Eddie shares a powerful reminder for anyone feeling lost, behind, uncertain, or pressured to “have it together.” The truth? Life is trial and error. It's learning as you go. It's trusting your intuition when the path isn't clear.Stop waiting for permission. Stop talking yourself out of what you already know. Build your own path. Take the risk. Make a mistake. Learn. Adjust. Grow.Personal growth doesn't come from having answers; it comes from moving forward anyway.Trust yourself. Go anyway. Figure it out in motion.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact#liveinspired #yourworldwithin #motivation

Ready to tackle one of the most confusing topics on your body image journey? In this powerful episode of the Waiting for Weight Loss series, host Heather Creekmore breaks down the critical difference between body issues and body image issues—and why this distinction can completely shift how you approach your weight loss and self-acceptance goals. Drawing from 15 years of experience teaching fitness classes coast-to-coast, Heather Creekmore shares real-life observations about the rarity of dramatic, sustainable "before and after" transformations—and why even those success stories might not provide true happiness. She encourages listeners to look beyond the “fix my body” mindset, and instead, turn inward to address the root of dissatisfaction: what we believe and feel about our bodies. In This Episode: The definition of body image issues (and why it's not just about size or shape) Personal stories and real examples from Heather Creekmore’s years as a fitness instructor The celebrity body image illusion—why even supermodels and stars struggle with feeling “enough” How addressing your body image can relieve pressure and lead to real freedom (before the number on the scale changes) Important questions to help you assess where you might be stuck in body image thinking Heather Creekmore invites everyone to join the ongoing discussion at waitingforweightloss.com, a supportive community where listeners can dig deeper, share their experiences, and get their questions answered directly on the show. Join the Conversation:Ever found that reaching your goal weight didn’t fix “that feeling” about your body? Do you still hope smaller equals happier? Let’s talk about it in the community! Bring your questions for Heather Creekmore to answer in future episodes. Listen now to understand why shifting from fixing your body to healing your body image could make all the difference.

I have a confession to make. I'm exhausted. In the best possible way after a week in Orlando, Florida for the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. I have so much to share with you today! My journey started on the Monday before the show began for a travel day, sound check and confirming the final details form the show. In addition to hosting the KBIS Podcast Studio again this year, moderating a panel on the NEXT Stage and recording conversations for the show, I wanted to help you prepare for the show next February in Las Vegas. But Josh, next February is like 11 months away. That's true, but here's a secret. Come a little closer, it's just us. KBIS is the essential American kitchen and bath show, full stop. It's about learning, seeing, connecting and putting all of the pieces together to understand how the American market is setting up for the next year and the trending ideas that have staying power for the next 5-10 years. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep You can listen to Convo By Design for the conversations with industry insiders. If I were a designer, I would. I believe that this show tells the stories that you should really know to get a feel for directionality of the industry. Specifiers are the plus of the industry and the ideas emanating from the show this year covered the technology revolution taking place from an AI perspective, but there's more. The kitchen is in the midst of a wholesale change. And it's exciting to see it happen in real time. Learning was a key theme this year. If you were not at the show this year, you are behind the curve. I don't say this to scare you, I tell you this so you make the time to get to the show next year. All three days and plan to see as much as you can. But, I wanted to share some of the key ideas from the show this year. For additional details, check the show notes. Luxury is the measurable outcome of thoughtful design—where performance, longevity, and relevance align to support the way people actually live. Luxury is the removal of friction from daily life. Luxury is durability aligned with intent. Luxury is design that continues to perform long after the purchase is forgotten. Luxury is confidence—in function, longevity, and fit. Luxury is not what you spend. It's what you never have to rethink. The Kitchen as the Primary Investment The kitchen remains the #1 homeowner investment nationwide. Homeowners are willing to exceed budget in the kitchen more than any other space. The kitchen is the most public and social room in the home. It represents identity: “I'm a cook,” “I entertain,” “I host.” Food equals memory; appliances enable those memories. The Expanding Kitchen Ecosystem Kitchens are no longer singular spaces—they expand throughout the home. Secondary kitchens (sculleries, prep kitchens, butler's pantries) are rising. Beverage centers, bars, and wine storage are increasingly common. Coffee stations and en-suite kitchenettes are viewed as lifestyle enhancements. Outdoor kitchens are now expected in many markets. Refrigeration appears in bathrooms (skincare), offices, and guest suites. Multigenerational living drives multi-kitchen design. Post-COVID entertaining shifted bar culture into the home. Value Has Replaced Price as the Primary Decision Driver Consumers rarely regret investing more in appliances. Longevity, performance, and service support define value. Sustainability increasingly aligns with durability. Human-Centric Design Is the New Standard Appliances must be intuitive without relying on manuals. UX consistency across appliances improves adoption. Technology must solve real problems—not create new friction. Appliances Are Expanding Beyond the Kitchen Refrigeration, coffee systems, and specialty appliances now appear throughout the home. Multi-kitchen and multi-generational design is driving specification complexity. Flexibility and modular integration are essential. Practical Innovation vs Feature Saturation Most consumers use only a small percentage of available features. Simplification improves usability, adoption, and satisfaction. Innovation must solve real problems—not marketing problems. Appliances as Infrastructure for Daily Life Refrigerators open dozens of times daily, making ergonomic design critical. Dishwashers, washers, and refrigeration now integrate into behavioral routines. Appliances increasingly support lifestyle efficiency, not just task completion. Quiet Luxury: The New Definition of Premium Quiet luxury shifts focus from visual dominance to experiential excellence. Appliances integrate seamlessly into architecture. Minimal visual disruption supports design continuity. Performance becomes more important than appearance. Identity & Evolution in Design Designers must periodically redefine themselves and their work to remain relevant. Personal growth and evolving priorities shape professional identity and approach. Burnout vs Ambition Burnout is not a badge of honor; it results from overextension and emotional labor. Ambition aligns energy with superpowers and opportunities, creating sustainable growth. Setting boundaries is essential to differentiate productive ambition from harmful overwork. Emotional Labor & Client Management Design work involves managing client emotions, expectations, and second-guessing. Designers act as liaisons between clients, contractors, and teams, absorbing invisible pressures. Managing scope creep and change orders is a practical strategy to protect both energy and profitability. Social Media & Comparison Culture Social media can amplify unrealistic expectations and unhealthy competition. Designers often feel compelled to accommodate clients' desires, sometimes overextending themselves to maintain a positive perception. These core themes coming out of the show this year tell a story that cannot be ignored. The thought process is changing. More human-centric at a time when technology seems to be taking over. Interesting times. Shifting away from that, I want to share two conversations from the show. Brandon Kirschner | Azzuro Living – Control the Process, Control the Outcome: Inside Azzurro Living's Design Advantage Brandon Kirshner of Azzurro Living explains how factory ownership, material innovation, and hands-on experimentation are redefining luxury outdoor furniture—and why relationships and resilience matter more than ever. Recorded live at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Orlando, this conversation with Brandon Kirshner, Partner and VP of Design at Azzurro Living, explores what it means to design, manufacture, and deliver luxury outdoor furniture with complete control over the process. Kirshner shares how owning and operating their own production facility provides a rare advantage in a crowded marketplace. This vertical integration allows Azzurro Living to oversee every step—from raw material sourcing to fabrication—ensuring performance, durability, and design integrity in extreme climates. The conversation also explores the realities of modern product manufacturing: navigating global instability, breaking through to specifiers in an oversaturated marketplace, and the renewed importance of in-person relationships. At its core, this is a story about design leadership, material obsession, and maintaining optimism in a rapidly shifting industry. Vertical Integration Changes Everything Full ownership of production facility ensures quality control Ability to experiment directly with materials and fabrication Eliminates reliance on third-party manufacturing limitations Material Innovation Drives Luxury Performance Products engineered for extreme heat and harsh winters Hands-on experimentation with rope, wicker, and aluminum Performance and longevity are core to brand value Design as the Core Differentiator Industrial design roots shape product philosophy Focus on original forms rather than “me-too” furniture Design enhances lifestyle, not just aesthetics Relationships Still Drive Specification Trade shows like High Point Market remain essential Face-to-face interaction builds trust and long-term partnerships Education through sales teams and specifier outreach is critical Resilience and Optimism in a Volatile Industry Navigating tariffs, supply chains, and global uncertainty Maintaining a solution-oriented mindset Viewing disruption as part of long-term growth In luxury outdoor furniture, control isn't just an operational advantage—it's a creative one. For Brandon Kirshner, Partner and VP of Design at Azzurro Living, ownership of the manufacturing process is the foundation of everything the company does. Unlike many competitors who rely on outsourced production, Azzurro Living operates its own factory, giving Kirshner and his team direct oversight of every detail, from raw materials to finished form. This control allows for something rare in today's manufacturing environment: true experimentation. Working directly with fabricators, Kirshner explores new weaving techniques, tests material durability, and refines structural details. The result is furniture engineered not just to look refined, but to perform in punishing environments—from desert heat exceeding 115 degrees to unpredictable seasonal extremes. Kirshner's path into furniture design began with industrial design studies, where exposure to iconic modernist designers revealed furniture as both functional object and artistic expression. That perspective continues to shape his work today, where innovation isn't driven by trend cycles, but by material curiosity and structural integrity. Launching Azzurro Living in 2020 presented immediate challenges, from supply chain disruption to economic uncertainty. Yet Kirshner views volatility as inevitable rather than exceptional. Experience has taught him that adaptability—not stability—is the constant in product manufacturing. Equally important is maintaining strong relationships within the design community. Trade shows, in-person meetings, and direct engagement remain essential tools for connecting with specifiers and building trust. In an increasingly crowded marketplace, Azzurro Living's approach is clear: control the process, push material boundaries, and let design lead. The result is furniture that reflects not just luxury, but intention. “Owning our factory gives us complete control—from raw material to finished product—and that changes everything.” “Design is the reason people invest in luxury furniture. Performance just makes it last.” “You can't innovate from a distance. Being hands-on with materials is where real progress happens.” “Trade shows and face-to-face interaction still matter because this industry runs on relationships.” “No matter what challenges come—tariffs, supply chain, geopolitics—we'll figure it out. That mindset is essential.” This is Cathy Purple Cherry – Founding Principal | Purple Cherry, freshly installed in the Convo By Design Icon Registry, we caught up at KBIS for a fresh take. Human-Centered Architecture, Resilience, and the Responsibility of Design Cathy Purple Cherry reflects on architecture as a lifelong act of care—supporting people through turbulence, embracing multigenerational living, rejecting trend culture, and using design as a tool for healing, connection, and growth. Recorded live at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, this conversation with Cathy Purple Cherry of Purple Cherry Architects explores architecture not as a moment of visual impact, but as a lifelong framework for human support. Purple Cherry shares her philosophy that architecture must evolve alongside the people it serves, especially during times of societal turbulence and personal change. Her work is grounded in human-centered thinking, emotional durability, and the belief that design can create stability amid chaos. The discussion moves beyond aesthetics into deeper territory—resilience shaped by hardship, the responsibility of creatives to provide clarity and options, and the importance of giving back. Purple Cherry also addresses the rise of multigenerational living, generational shifts in work culture, and the dangers of trend-driven design thinking. At its core, this conversation reveals architecture as both a professional discipline and a personal calling—one rooted in empathy, long-term thinking, and service. Architecture as Long-Term Support, Not Momentary Expression Design must serve people across decades, not just visual moments Architecture provides emotional stability during uncertain times Human-centered design is becoming essential, not optional Growth Through Challenge and Adversity Personal and professional hardship builds resilience Lessons learned shape better architects and stronger leaders Teaching and mentoring are essential responsibilities Multigenerational Living as a Cultural Shift Economic and social changes are reshaping American housing Families are staying connected longer Architecture must adapt to evolving family dynamics The Responsibility of Creatives in Times of Tension Architects provide clarity and solutions amid chaos Design can serve as a “relief valve” for societal stress Creatives help people reimagine how they live Rejecting Trend Culture in Favor of Lasting Design Trend cycles are often superficial and misleading True architecture transcends short-term aesthetic movements Enduring design comes from purpose, not prediction Giving Back as a Core Professional and Personal Value Sharing knowledge strengthens the profession Service to others creates deeper meaning in creative work Design is both a gift and a responsibility For Cathy Purple Cherry, architecture has never been about creating a moment. It's about supporting a lifetime. As founder of Purple Cherry Architects, with offices in Annapolis, Charlottesville, and New York City, Purple Cherry has built a practice grounded in the belief that design must evolve alongside the people it serves. Architecture, she explains, is not about solving for a single moment, but about creating environments that support human life over time. That perspective feels especially relevant today. As social, economic, and cultural turbulence reshapes how people live and work, architecture has taken on a new role—not just as shelter, but as emotional infrastructure. Spaces must provide calm, clarity, and flexibility, particularly as multigenerational living becomes more common and families remain connected longer under one roof. Purple Cherry rejects the idea that architecture should chase trends. While the industry often focuses on forecasting aesthetic movements, she believes true design transcends these cycles. Lasting architecture emerges from purpose, empathy, and a deep understanding of human behavior. Her perspective is shaped not only by decades of professional experience, but by personal adversity. Hardship, she explains, builds resilience and strengthens one's ability to serve others. That philosophy extends into her commitment to mentorship, service, and giving back—values she sees as inseparable from meaningful creative work. For Purple Cherry, architecture is both discipline and calling. It is a lifelong process of learning, teaching, and refining. And in a world defined by rapid change, her message is clear: the most important role of design is not to impress, but to support the people who live within it. “Architecture isn't about solving for a moment. It's about supporting people over time.” “Through suffering, we become stronger—and that's what allows us to better serve others.” “Anything in the built environment that can calm us and organize our lives becomes essential.” “Design should never be driven by trends. It should be driven by purpose and people.” “The meaning of life is discovering your gifts. The purpose of life is sharing them.”

Stefan Molyneux talks with a weary 35-year-old man who hesitates to start a family because he sees society unraveling into chaos and instability. Molyneux listens, then challenges the fear head-on: perfect conditions never arrive, history is always turbulent, and waiting for the world to fix itself is just another form of avoidance. He frames the decision plainly—either shrink back into safety and bitterness, or accept that real courage means building a life, raising children, and creating something worth protecting even when everything looks uncertain. Personal responsibility, he says, isn't about mastering external events; it's about mastering what you do with the time you're given. By the conversation's end the caller's voice has changed—not free of doubt, but no longer paralyzed. Molyneux leaves him, and anyone listening, with the same stark point: the future isn't handed to you. You have to decide, act, and live as though it actually matters—because it does.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Explore Your Personality: https://PersonalityHacker.com  Personal growth often feels worse before it feels better, especially when awareness forces you to confront the systems, habits, and relationships you helped create. Joel and Antonia unpack how to measure "improvement," why real development is frequently painful and undignified, and how personality type can point you toward the exact areas you have been avoiding. They also explore the phases of growth, from responsibility and tool selection to implementation, including the pushback you can face from your environment and the slow timeline of rewiring old patterns.

Sleep apnea, fatigue, anxiety, cravings, and chronic illness might share a root cause most people ignore: sunlight and vitamin D. Dr. Joel Gould breaks down the “modern epidemic,” how D3/K2 and the environment affect your airway, gut, and mitochondria—and what you can actually do about it.Follow:

348: Does dairy love you back… or is it low key sabotaging your skin, gut, and sinuses? Today I'm sharing my very personal, very real journey with dairy, from going fully dairy free during my worst gut struggles to slowly rebuilding tolerance with cultured options like Greek yogurt. I'm breaking down why some forms, like stretchy melty cheeses, still wreck me, while others work beautifully, and why fat content has suddenly changed the game for my body. We're talking mucus, breakouts, lactose vs intolerance, A2, raw milk, portion size, and why this doesn't have to be an all or nothing conversation. Your body changes, your digestion evolves, and what worked three years ago might not work today. If you've ever said “dairy just doesn't sit right with me,” this episode might help you figure out why. Topics Discussed: → How dairy has affected me over the years → How to introduce diary into your diet → Why some cheese can cause issues others don't → It's not all about ingredients but the process  → Is raw dairy REALLY ok and why I stopped drinking it → Sheeps milk, goats milk, and A2 dairy  → Why it's not an all or nothing approach when it comes to consuming dairy As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

Summary In this episode of the Anatomy of Change podcast, Seth Studley discusses the importance of embracing discomfort as a pathway to growth. He emphasizes that fear and discomfort are often misinterpreted as danger, leading individuals to avoid necessary challenges. Drawing on personal experiences and biblical references, Seth illustrates how courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to act in its presence. He encourages listeners to recognize resistance as a sign of meaningful growth and to navigate through discomfort to achieve their true potential. Discomfort is not danger; it's a sign of growth. Fear often misleads us into avoiding necessary challenges. Courage is acting in the presence of fear. Growth requires moving through discomfort, not avoiding it. Resistance can be a compass guiding us towards our purpose. Biblical teachings provide insight into managing fear. Avoidance of discomfort leads to stagnation and missed opportunities. Personal growth often feels uncomfortable at first. Honesty and vulnerability are essential for healing. Embracing discomfort can lead to deeper connections and fulfillment.

It begins when you're honest about who you've been and who that version of you can no longer be. In this episode, I'm sharing a pivotal story from my early career that reveals why pushing harder eventually stops working—and why lasting success always demands a deeper internal shift. Why Personal Transformation for Success Isn't About Trying HarderMany people were raised with the belief that if you just work hard enough, someday you'll arrive. But that mindset quietly builds an exit strategy into your goals. I explain how this way of thinking keeps your subconscious looking for relief instead of expansion, and why growth without a future vision is a signal that something deeper needs to change. The Line You Must Cross for Personal Transformation for SuccessTrue personal transformation for success happens when you draw a clear internal line and stop negotiating with old behaviors. As long as you're tempted to return to what's familiar, the transformation hasn't occurred. This episode explores how identity—not motivation—determines whether you break through or circle the same patterns again. Becoming the Person Built for What You WantSuccess isn't about forcing outcomes. It's about becoming someone who naturally creates them. When you upgrade who you are, the actions you once resisted become obvious, natural, and sustainable. Episode 43 – Making a Transformation Part II Episode 50 – The Power of Commitment Episode 566 – You Need an Identity Upgrade HERE’S THE TRUTH:YOUR BUSINESS ISN’T BROKEN. YOUR MINDSET IS. You’ve built something real. You’ve got clients, revenue, maybe even a team. But every morning, you wake up feeling like you’re pushing a boulder uphill — working harder for smaller wins, watching others leap ahead while you grind in place. This month, I’m opening the doors to The Elite Mind — a proven daily practice that rewires the mental patterns keeping you stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, and transforms your relationship with success from the inside out. We’ll strip away the self-sabotage, the fear of your own potential, and the unconscious limits you’ve accepted as “just how business is.” You’ll discover why strategy alone never works (and what actually does), and walk away with the mental framework that separates those who sustain success from those who chase it forever. Ready to stop working harder and start thinking differently? CLICK HERE to find out more!

SUMMARY In this conversation, David Lashley shares his unique journey from working in juvenile court to becoming a bailiff, highlighting the insights gained from his experiences in both roles. He discusses the challenges of applying martial arts training in real-life situations, the importance of understanding youth behavior, and the reality checks that come with martial arts practice. The conversation also touches on the significance of family support in pursuing martial arts and law enforcement careers, as well as the lessons learned from working with troubled youth. In this conversation, David Lashley also discusses the evolution of acceptable behavior in schools, the challenges of classroom management, and the importance of de-escalation techniques. He emphasizes the influence of personal experiences on training methods and the need for awareness in self-defense situations. Lashley also highlights the role of ego in conflict and the significance of teaching self-defense with a focus on survival rather than competition. The discussion culminates in insights from his courtroom experiences and the release of his book on awareness and safety.     TAKEAWAYS The role of a bailiff is often misunderstood. Working with youth requires a different approach than adults. Martial arts training can provide valuable insights into handling violence. Reality checks in martial arts can be difficult but necessary. Family support is crucial in pursuing martial arts and law enforcement careers. Transitioning from juvenile court to bailiff was a significant career shift. Understanding the dynamics of violence is essential for martial artists. The journey into law enforcement can be influenced by personal experiences. Acceptable behavior in schools has evolved significantly over the past 25 years. Personal experiences shape training methods and perspectives on conflict. De-escalation techniques are crucial in preventing violence. Awareness and understanding of ego play vital roles in conflict resolution. Complacency in security roles can lead to dangerous situations. Real-life courtroom experiences provide valuable lessons for self-defense. Martial arts training serves as a form of mental and physical outlet.

On this week's episode of "Sykes & Lewis," Charlie and Matt discuss the following:— Trump's contradictory goals, from “regime change” to “Venezuela model” puppetry— Why this feels like a war of choice with no clear rationale — preemptive? Distraction? Personal vendetta? — there's no coherent endgame as casualties mount and the conflict spreads— Warnings of depleted U.S. resources, torched American credibility, and the moral equivalence to rogue actions abroad— A raw, unfiltered conservative critique of hubris, projection, and reckless decisions in a “pointless war”— Bonus: Charlie and Matt take a quick pivot to Texas Senate primary drama (Republicans Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn vibes, and Democrats Jasmine Crockett vs. James Tallarico) as a potential Senate control wildcard amid national crisis— And MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

The Core Problem Most high-performing leaders default to addition mode: • Work more hours • Optimize your calendar • Streamline processes • Move faster It works for a while. Then you hit a ceiling. Efficiency vs. Leverage Efficiency asks: How can I do this faster? Leverage asks: How can I do this once and create value repeatedly? Speed improves output. Structure multiplies impact. Addition Thinking vs. Multiplication Thinking Addition: "I need to answer these customer questions faster." Multiplication: "What would have to be true for customers to not need to ask?" Addition: "I need to review decisions quicker." Multiplication: "What framework allows my team to decide without me?" Addition: "I need to attend this recurring meeting." Multiplication: "What would have to change for this meeting to not need me?" Three Predictable Patterns of Addition Mode The Capacity Ceiling Your business scales only as far as your personal hours allow. The Energy Depletion Addition never ends. More effort produces diminishing returns. The Strategic Displacement You are so busy being productive that you never build the systems that create scale. What Multiplication Looks Like • Creating knowledge bases instead of answering repeat questions • Building decision frameworks instead of approving every call • Designing communication systems instead of attending every meeting • Establishing quality standards instead of reviewing everything Multiplication frees you to focus on strategic impact. Case Study Insight One CEO shifted from addition to leverage thinking. Within six months: • Revenue per employee increased 35% • Personal exhaustion decreased • Focus shifted into his true zone of genius The transformation wasn't about doing less. It was about building differently. Key Leadership Shift Stop asking: How do I do more? Start asking: What can I build once that creates value repeatedly? Next Step The executive edition of Think First includes the full Leverage Framework to help you identify multiplication opportunities inside your daily addition work. Because the goal isn't productivity. It's strategic impact that scales without burning you out. Think First

This week, Emily and Ky discuss a possibly autistic detective dog take the teeny tiniest, frankly disappointingly small, bite out of crime. Their quest for good bullying advice continues, but at least they know what to do if they find a gun at their friend's house. To be clear, child abuse isn't funny, but then bullying isn't either. What is funny is the seemingly endless out-of-touch attempts by adults to advise kids on how to handle these issues. Emily and Ky are still only endorsing one tip: just do a kip up! Maybe it'll put you in the major leagues? Please excuse our audio while we grow into our new microphones, courtesy of our sponsor, Teddy!

Today we're diving into how to pursue a true Kingdom partnership, avoid unequally yoked relationships, and learn from the ultimate Biblical power couple (that you maybe haven't heard of!). I pray this episode brings you clarity, wisdom, and direction in your dating life.

In this episode of the Remembering and ReEnchanting podcast, Sara Jolena Wolcott sits down with filmmaker and spiritual innovator Nova Scott James to trace the profound arc of her film journey.The journey begins with an exploration of Nova's origins—from the influence of Harlem and childhood memories to the transformative power of cinema as a spiritual practice. We delve into the creation of her film 'Wild Darlings Sing the Blues' and the personal healing journey that informed her creative vision.The conversation then transitions into a deep dive into the collective's latest work: a land-based healing documentary. Nova shares the visceral experience of honoring ancestral land, navigating the energetic weight of filming on former plantations in Virginia, and the serendipitous rituals guided by spirits. This is a story of building a Black queer women's collective through trust, patience, and the labor of collective transformation.00:00 - Podcast Intro01:30 - Introduction to the Wild Darlings Collective03:18 - Exploring Origin Stories and Childhood Memories07:56 - Understanding Lineage and Spiritual Innovation17:06 - Cinema as a Temple: The Spirituality of Film25:05 - The Healing Journey Behind 'Wild Darlings Sing the Blues'28:19 - Healing Through Psychedelic Therapy30:13 - The Birth of a Creative Vision33:34 - Exploring Ancestral Lineage37:11 - Confronting Family History and Trauma40:06 - Introduction to Day 2 Recording40:28 - Introduction to the journey of creating a land-based healing documentary42:33 - The initial visions and spiritual downloads that inspired the film44:38 - The healing and spiritual practices of the Darlings Collective46:48 - Building community through workshops and shared spiritual work49:23 - The significance of land and spirits in the collective's rituals52:43 - Challenges faced with facilitators and group dynamics56:58 - Rebuilding after adversity and seeking an elder for guidance1:01:13 - Connecting with land in Virginia and the impact of sacred sites1:05:38 - The serendipitous process of land selection and the role of spirits1:12:28 - Filming on plantations: rituals, ceremonies, and the energetic environment1:25:30 - The immersive experience of land-based ceremonies and prayers1:32:48 - Observations of healing and collective transformation during the process1:35:28 - The importance of compassion in ancestral healing work1:38:38 - Personal reflections on integrating trauma and ancestral memories1:41:48 - Deepening trust and love for the land, spiritual practice, and creativity1:43:58 - Final thoughts: upcoming release and ways to support the projectMovie Trailer: Wild Darlings Sing the Blues Fundraising pageWebsiteInstagramSend us a messageSupport the showLearn more about Sara Jolena Wolcott and Sequoia SamanvayaMusic Title: Both of Us Music by: madiRFAN Don't forget to "like" and share this episode!

Most of us say we want clarity, growth, and peace—yet we keep waiting for the “right time.” In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, Dr-Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer breaks down why progress doesn't need a big plan… it needs a small, daily practice. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, over-responsible, or quietly postponing their own next chapter. You'll walk away with a simple 7-minute routine to clear mental clutter, take one doable step, and keep moving forward—without guilt. Episode Chapters: 00:06:28 — The idea: your future isn't built in “someday moments” 00:08:10 — Losing a top role and why planning ahead became her lifeline 00:09:31 — The biggest myth: change must be massive to matter 00:10:51 — The 7-minute pivot method: write it, unpack it, choose one step 00:13:12 — Why capable people wait: conditioning, compliance, and learned restraint 00:16:21 — Personal life barriers: boundaries, delegation, and guilt-free self-investment 00:18:21 — Human capital: purpose + natural talent, and how leaders should hire differently About the Guest: Dr-Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is a USA Today best-selling author, board-certified executive coach, and human capital strategist.

Key Takeaways: Use 7 minutes daily to name what's blocking you and move one step forward Set an alarm, remove distractions, and “get it out of your head onto paper” Small pivots compound—like a pilot making tiny course corrections over time Waiting often isn't lack of confidence; it's conditioning and learned restraint Boundaries at home can unlock growth at work: delegate, say no, create space Drop the guilt: yesterday is done—choose an action today and restart How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.dr-cynthia.com/  Socials: Dr-Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

It seems that uncertainty is the rule rather than the exception, and this trend only appears to be intensifying with each passing day. In this environment, making high-quality decisions is of paramount importance. For this solo episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I reference groundbreaking research published in MIT Sloane Management Review to identify five traits for effective decision-making, which were derived from a global study of business leaders.The common thread that runs through these five qualities is that they are learnable. Another key element is that our mindset plays a critical role in influencing our effectiveness, a theme we have discussed multiple times before.Tune in to learn how you can become a highly skilled decision maker by avoiding common traps that can undermine our effectiveness.KEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Personal growth, Decision-Making, Managing Stress, Navigating Uncertainly, mastering our Mindset, Growth Mindset, Focus on the Positive, CEO SuccessSource:Five Traits of Leaders Who Excel at Decision-Making
