Donald Trump delivered a major speech on election integrity, announcing upcoming declassifications revealing foreign interference, especially from China, who accessed over 220 million U.S. voter files. In this video, I break down the key points: the need for photo ID and proof of citizenship, limits on mail-in ballots, massive vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure, and the statistical anomalies from 2020 (including the bellwether counties).I also discuss why election integrity is foundational for conservatives and Christians, the Save America Act, and why we should be encouraged that real action is finally being taken.patreon.com/jonharrispodcast00:00 – Intro: Trump's Big Speech on Election Integrity  00:30 – Personal Experience with Loose Voting Standards  01:39 – The Save America Act: Photo ID, Proof of Citizenship, Mail-In Limits  02:57 – Trump's Announcements: Declassification & China's Role  03:42 – 220 Million Voter Files Accessed by China  04:59 – Intelligence Community Cover-Up & 2018 Meddling  05:19 – 270,000 Non-Citizens Registered to Vote  05:57 – Remembering 2020: Dominion, Smartmatic & Statistical Anomalies  06:22 – The 19 Bellwether Counties Breakdown (2000–2024)  08:50 – January 6th Context & Pennsylvania Legislature  10:34 – Hope for Real Answers Under Trump  11:02 – Don't Automatically Distrust the Government  13:14 – Why Election Integrity Is the #1 Issue  16:56 – Moral & Biblical Perspective on Fair Elections  17:07 – Addressing Critics Like Thomas Massie  18:41 – Personal Update: Evergreen Conference & Upcoming Events  21:16 – Closing EncouragementSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A new report accuses the world's most trusted human rights organizations of a problem that goes far beyond anti-Israel bias: antisemitism, and a culture that pushes out Jewish staff for naming it. This week, Yonit and Jonathan talk to Danielle Haas, a former senior editor at Human Rights Watch who spent 14 years inside the organization before co-founding EiGHT, a watchdog created to scrutinize the watchdogs. Drawing on interviews with over 70 staffers across nine major NGOs, the report documents internal messages calling for "liberating the world from Zionism," leadership reposting inflammatory rhetoric, and a pattern of employees being sidelined the moment they raised concerns.   00:00 Introduction to the Conversation 01:30 Danielle Haas's Background and Experience 03:43 Insights from the New Report on NGOs 07:58 Striking Findings and Internal Messaging 11:31 Challenges Faced by Jewish Employees 17:19 Lack of Accountability in Human Rights Organizations 21:08 Cultural Shifts and Generational Changes 24:46 Association with Militant Organizations 27:20 The Future of Human Rights Organizations 33:00 Reflections on Personal Experience and Change

Send us Fan MailArizona just passed the biggest family law change in two decades. The Alec and Lydia Act reshapes how family court handles domestic violence, coercive control, and child custody, requiring judges to document specific findings before granting parenting time. Billie Tarascio sits down with Hope Hooton, the child safety advocate behind the law, to talk about what failed, what changed, and what it means for Arizona families facing abuse.Hope Hooton is a child safety advocate, author, and podcast host, and the founder of The Alec and Lydia Act. In May 2024, her two children, Alec and Lydia, were murdered by their father during court-ordered parenting time, after a family court granted 50/50 unsupervised custody despite documented lethality risk markers. She turned that loss into landmark legislation now making Arizona one of a small number of states to recognize coercive control in custody decisions.What you will learn:- How Arizona family court granted unsupervised custody despite an order of protection- Why judges are now required to write specific findings in temporary orders- What coercive control is and why it qualifies as a lethality risk- How domestic violence against a partner signals danger to children- The lethality indicators that family courts often overlook- Why Arizona leads the country in family court filicide cases- How the Alec and Lydia Act differs from Cadence Law- What changed in the legislation after concerns about false allegations- Why mental health did not make it into the final bill- How child safety first laws are reducing harm in other states- What this law means for victims afraid to leave abusive relationshipsChapters: 00:00 Introduction to Hope Hooton and Legislative Changes 03:07 Hope's Personal Experience with Family Court 05:50 The Impact of Court Decisions on Children 08:39 The Tragic Outcome and Legislative Response 11:05 Creating the Alec and Lydia Act 13:54 Differences Between Alec and Lydia Act and Cadence Law 16:39 Challenges and Cultural Shifts in Family Court 19:33 Lethality Risks and Child Safety 22:13 Future Legislative Goals and Community SupportConnect with Hope Hooton:Email: hopeinthepain@gmail.comSocials: Hope In The PainPodcast: Voices Against FilicideBook: There's Still Hope: A Journey of Adversity, Tragedy, and Unshakable Faith (available on Amazon in ebook, softcover, and Audible)

As a pediatrician, I was not asking enough questions about my patients' periods. We ask when the last one was. We rarely go deeper than that. And after this conversation, I will never approach it the same way again. I sat down with my friend and colleague Dr. Natalie Crawford, reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, and author of The Fertility Formula. Here is what I want every parent raising a girl to understand: the menstrual cycle is not just a monthly inconvenience. It is one of the most important windows into your daughter's hormonal health, her long-term fertility, and her overall wellbeing. And the symptoms we keep brushing off as "just puberty" or "just a bad period" are often the first clues to conditions that will matter deeply later in life. In this episode, we cover: Why the menstrual cycle is a vital sign and what that means for the girls in your life The warning signs parents and pediatricians too often dismiss as normal What a first period should actually look like, and when irregular cycles need to be taken seriously Hypothalamic amenorrhea: the condition linked to over-exercising, under-eating, and chronic stress that silently affects estrogen during some of the most critical years of development PCOS in teens: why it does not always look the way doctors expect, and why so many girls get missed Thyroid disease and how it shows up in the menstrual cycle before anything else Endometriosis in adolescents: when period pain is not normal and what to do about it Why birth control is sometimes the right treatment but not always the full answer How to advocate for your daughter when you feel dismissed at the doctor's office The referral path from pediatrician to OB to specialist, and when to push for more Connect with Dr. Natalie Crawford on Instagram @nataliecrawfordmd, visit her site https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/ and buy her new book: https://a.co/d/0byHPtzr Here is the revised list of 20 chapters, spaced out chronologically to cover the entire duration of the provided text for "Podcast Natalie Crawford Final.mp3.txt": 00:00:00 The Paternalistic History of Women's Health 00:01:19 Introducing Dr. Natalie Crawford & The Fertility Formula 00:02:56 The Stigma of Cycle Tracking and Menstrual Shame 00:04:53 Dr. Mona's Personal Battle with Secondary Infertility 00:06:00 Overcoming the Unknown and Paternalism in Medicine 00:08:11 Empowering Younger Women to Advocate for Their Bodies 00:10:27 Raising Children to Trust Their Physical Cues 00:11:32 Dr. Crawford's Personal Experience with Pregnancy Loss 00:13:13 Shifting Medical Research Toward Natural Fertility 00:16:33 Cultivating Fast Vulnerability in Doctor-Patient Bonds 00:18:15 The Ovarian Vault and the Biology of Puberty 00:20:25 The Brain-Ovary Dance: Follicular vs. Luteal Phases 00:21:59 Static on the Walkie-Talkie: Environmental Disruptors 00:23:40 Red Flags: School Refusal and Endometriosis Risk 00:26:03 Beyond the Basics: Upgrading Pediatric Screening Questions 00:30:11 Deep Dive into Hypothalamic Amenorrhea 00:33:14 The Metabolic Realities of Living with PCOS 00:41:43 The Diagnostic Criteria for PCOS and Clinical Workups 00:44:16 Thyroid Disease and Its Impact on Reproductive Hormones 00:48:15 Long-Term Health Risks Linked to Untreated Infertility Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Key Themes & Topics Covered Ancient Buildings as Acoustic Phenomena Ancient structures — especially the Bent Pyramid — appear to have been designed as sound and acoustic environments Chambers in the Great Pyramid, including the Queen's Chamber, have been filled with rubble over time, effectively silencing what may have been active acoustic spaces These chambers likely had resonant and vibrational qualities that are no longer accessible in their current state Luke's Personal Experience in the King's Chamber The King's Chamber contains a large granite sarcophagus (approximately 7 feet long) When a frequency of approximately 72 Hz is sounded and someone adds a tone of 270–273 Hz, a third pitch emerges — together creating something akin to white noise Luke lay inside the sarcophagus during this experiment and experienced dizziness and an altered state Afterward, he removed his shoes and socks and placed bare hands and feet on the stone while doing meditative breathing — a visual appeared: a doorway receding into the distance, which stopped when he stopped breathing, and transformed into a blue door before disappearing His interpretation: these chambers may have functioned as portals of consciousness or connection — not necessarily to the stars, but to altered states The Writing Mystery of the Great Pyramid Unlike virtually all other Egyptian structures from the 4th Dynasty of Pharaoh Khufu, the rooms inside the Great Pyramid contain no official writings or inscriptions Hieroglyphs and texts are abundant in tombs throughout Egypt — but not here Even the workers' tombs (which Luke had rare access to) contain no such writings in this context This remains one of the great unexplained anomalies of Egyptology Sound as a Universal Principle Cymatics: Sumerian artifacts appear to depict what we now recognize as cymatic frequency patterns — the visual geometry created when sound moves through sand or water Everything may ultimately be frequency — a view shared across many ancient traditions Royal Rife's theory: all living beings resonate at particular frequencies; health is a matter of maintaining the right frequency, and his device was designed to heal by targeting specific frequencies Harvard University is currently conducting research into treating cancer with sound Ancient Sound Hospitals Hakim Awyen has claimed that Saqqara contained a sound hospital: patients lay on a pedestal in the center of a room while a healer placed their head in a stone alcove, using acoustic resonance to promote healing Luke visited this site but is careful not to make definitive claims about its function Sound as a Physical Force — Moving Stone German explorers in Tibet documented monks moving large stone blocks through coordinated chanting and sound Modern science can now move small objects with sound The question Luke raises: could an ancient civilization have mastered acoustic levitation or manipulation of matter at a large scale? The Possibility of a Lost Advanced Civilization Evidence suggests humanity has emerged from "stone age" conditions multiple times Göbekli Tepe was deliberately buried thousands of years ago — by whom and why? South America contains ancient sites and structures that point to pre-known civilizations Beneath the Step Pyramid at Saqqara: 40,000 vessels made of corundum (a material so hard only corundum or diamond can cut it), polished to a high finish with tiny holes — attributed to pre-dynastic cultures because they predate known Egyptian dynasties Imhotep later created similar but far less refined vessels, suggesting knowledge was lost or degraded In 1500 BC, Assyrian explorers found a civilization they could not identify — we have a long history of not knowing our own history The Healing Power of Sound — Personal and Universal A Tibetan monk sustaining a single tone emotionally broke Luke open — one note, enormous effect The bagpipes at his father's funeral released deep emotion — both harmonic and dissonant, a profoundly powerful instrument Indian mantras — some of the most ancient known — are available to experience on YouTube and carry similar power Indigenous peoples of South America and Egypt remain strongly connected to ancient energies at these sites — Luke describes that connection as palpable and very powerful The Granite Boxes — Not Sarcophagi? Hakim Awyan believed that the quartz-granite boxes found in pyramid chambers were not sarcophagi at all, but were designed for people to lie in and absorb the healing frequency the chamber resonated. He noted that sound chambers like those in the Red Pyramid are designed exactly like modern acoustic therapy chambers used by sound therapists today. Luke's Documentary Luke is currently developing a documentary exploring all of these themes: ancient sound structures, healing frequencies, lost civilizations, and the living connection that indigenous peoples maintain to these ancient energies Key Names & Concepts to Explore Royal Rife — frequency-based healing theory Hakim Awyen — Egyptian researcher claiming Saqqara as a sound hospital Imhotep — ancient Egyptian architect and physician   www.earthtriberadio.comwww.barefootenlightenment.comwww.fionawhitmore.com

In this episode, we unpack the consolidation of private practices and the growing influence of Dental Support Organizations. While many independent dentists view consolidation as a threat, Peter and Craig argue it may actually create one of the greatest opportunities the profession has ever seen. They explore the economic forces driving DSO growth, including insurance arbitrage, private equity investment, rising operating costs, and changing ownership models. But beyond the numbers, the conversation focuses on something much more important: what independent dentists can offer that large organizations often cannot. Peter, Craig, and Ian discuss why personalized care, strong patient relationships, community, and entrepreneurial freedom remain powerful competitive advantages. They challenge the idea that independent practice is becoming obsolete and explain why dentists who embrace leadership, innovation, and business education may be better positioned than ever before. The discussion also explores AI, technology, customer experience, insurance dynamics, and the future of practice ownership. As dentistry becomes increasingly consolidated, the question isn't whether the industry is changing. It's whether practice owners are willing to evolve with it. The golden era of dentistry isn't behind us. It belongs to the dentists willing to build it. If you've ever wondered what the future holds for independent practice ownership, this episode is for you. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 445 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh In this episode, Peter Boulden, Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh explore the rise of DSOs, the accelerating consolidation of dentistry, and what these trends mean for independent practice owners. The conversation examines the economic realities driving consolidation, the advantages and challenges of private practice ownership, and why community, leadership, technology, and patient experience may become the defining factors separating thriving practices from struggling ones in the years ahead. TAKEAWAYS DSO consolidation continues to reshape the dental industry Insurance arbitrage remains a major driver of acquisitions Independent practices still possess significant competitive advantages Personalized patient care is difficult to replicate at scale Community creates resilience during periods of industry change Leadership and business education matter more than ever Technology and AI will accelerate practice evolution Customer experience can become a powerful differentiator The future belongs to adaptable practice owners Consolidation creates both risks and opportunities Dentists must actively choose their path rather than react to industry trends The golden era of dentistry is still available to those willing to build it TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 - Introduction and Welcome 00:00:43 - Discussion on DSOs 00:01:34 - Statistics on DSO Growth 00:03:07 - Impact of Interest Rates on DSOs 00:04:21 - Historical Perspective on DSOs 00:05:15 - Comparison with Dermatology and Veterinary Practices 00:07:05 - Relationship-Based Nature of Dentistry 00:08:33 - Business Coaching in Dentistry 00:10:02 - Pause in DSO Consolidation 00:10:17 - Example of DSO Unwinding 00:12:09 - Financial Distress in DSOs 00:13:01 - Rollover Equity in DSO Sales 00:14:47 - Importance of Upfront Cash in DSO Deals 00:16:00 - Independent Dentists Thriving 00:18:20 - Personalization of Care 00:18:49 - Example of Personalized Service 00:20:52 - Customer Service in Dentistry 00:22:46 - DSO vs. Independent Practice Quality 00:24:02 - SOPs in DSOs 00:26:06 - Moats for Independent Practices 00:28:28 - ADA Statistics on DSO Affiliation 00:29:01 - Macro Factors Affecting Consolidation 00:31:14 - Insurance Arbitrage in DSOs 00:33:01 - AI and Service Businesses 00:34:27 - Future of Independent Dentistry 00:36:09 - Importance of Community 00:37:03 - Power in Numbers for Independent Dentists 00:37:34 - Personal Experience with DSO Sale 00:39:09 - Paycheck Advance Analogy 00:40:15 - Summary and Closing Remarks 00:42:27 - Outro and Call to Action

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker welcomes Ben Oofana for a deep dive into the complexities of relational ambiguity, separation, and unresolved grief. They discuss how these emotional states can activate older attachment patterns, leading clients into cycles of connection-restoring emotional rumination that mimic repair but often result in reactivation of past traumas. The conversation emphasizes the importance for clinicians to formulate care strategies when clients are driven by grief, shame, longing, or relational threats. By understanding these dynamics, therapists can help clients move beyond fixed narratives and reclaim their agency, differentiation, and adaptive contact. Tune in to explore these transformative insights and more.Timestamp00:00:00 - Introduction to The Light Inside00:00:22 - Relational Ambiguity and Emotional Rumination00:01:10 - Mint Mobile Advertisement00:02:24 - Early Attachment Learning and Emotional Rumination00:03:28 - Clinician's Role in Addressing Rumination00:04:06 - Ben Ofana's Background in Somatic Therapies00:05:57 - Early Relational Patterns and Their Impact00:09:08 - Transition from Implicit Learning to Narrative Identity00:12:04 - Psychological Arousal and Relational Misinterpretation00:14:08 - Emotional Processing and Cognitive Understanding00:17:12 - Slowing Down and Holding the Field00:19:14 - Relational Dynamics and Overextension00:21:00 - Personal Reflections on Emotional Saturation00:24:44 - Fear of Loss and Desperation in Relationships00:25:55 - Constructive Work with Rumination00:28:26 - Clinical Takeaways and Interventions00:31:22 - Overthinking and Cognitive Cycles00:34:09 - Healing Process and Letting Go of Unhealthy Attachments00:35:26 - Relational Contact and Boundaries00:38:27 - Personal Experience with Anger and Guilt-Shame Cycle00:40:27 - Core Childhood Patterns and Activation00:42:43 - Emotional States and Relationship Dynamics00:44:02 - Biological Flooding and Regulation00:45:19 - Skills for Deactivating Emotional States00:46:51 - Insight and Internal Change00:48:09 - Attunement and Empathy in Therapy00:50:10 - Client Awareness and Emotional Processing00:52:11 - Tracking and Metabolizing Bias in TherapyCreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest:Ben OofanaExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.What if many of the secondary behaviors we label as “seeking safety” are actually attempts to restore coherence at the deeper primary level?Developmental and attachment research suggests that before children can reason about trust, risk, or safety, they are learning through load, responsiveness, attunement, and the capacity of caregivers to regulate environmental demands.

Jim Laughman is a behavioral health managed care leader whose work focuses on Medicaid populations, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), serious mental illness, and dual diagnoses. Laughman explains how his organization provides care coordination in states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania and shares that his career is deeply motivated by his personal experience as a sibling to a brother with IDD who faced long waitlists, limited services, and ultimately died young. Throughout the conversation, they discuss persistent disparities in health care access, life expectancy, and provider training for people with IDD, while also acknowledging meaningful progress in inclusivity, education, and preventive care. Laughman highlights the impact of programs like Special Olympics Healthy Athletes, emphasizes the importance of social determinants of health, prevention, proper funding, and provider education, and concludes with three guiding principles: address social determinants of health, continue advancing inclusivity across society with involvement from business and government, and treat people with disabilities with dignity and respect by following the golden rule.

主播：Meimei（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：Ship and the Globe今天我们要聊一个最近很火的潮流“ColorWalk”，一种用颜色重新发现城市的新型散步方式。它就像在城市里散步，但有一个反转（with a twist）。不再只是打卡网红地标，而是把城市当作调色板，每一步都能发现新的美。01. What is ColorWalk & How It Works ？ 什么是ColorWalk以及如何玩？ColorWalk 的具体玩法是：出门前选定一个颜色，然后上街去寻找（go hunting for it）—— 路牌、门、花朵，任何与你当天颜色匹配的东西（anything that matches your color of the day）。这种玩法在社交媒体上非常火爆（has really taken off on social media），比如小红书、抖音、Instagram 等等（you name it）。人们制作城市的小色彩地图，甚至称之为“口袋里的春天”（a spring in your pocket）。文案如 “用脚步丈量城市，把色彩装进口袋” 浏览量已超过 5 亿。具体操作：出门前选定一个颜色，然后在街头开启“寻宝模式”，主动寻找所有带这个颜色的事物。它与普通城市散步不同，你不是漫无目的地闲逛（you're not wandering aimlessly），而是有一个任务 —— 色彩任务（a color mission）。这让人更专注，不再漫无目的四处漫游，也不是光顾着盯着手机，而是观察生活的细节。这是一种聚焦式的探索（focused exploration）。它把简单的散步变成了一种近乎冥想的状态（turns a simple walk into something almost meditative），让人沉浸在沉静的氛围中，就像冥想（meditation）一样。你会开始注意到事物的质感（textures）、影子（shadows）、图案（patterns），突然之间城市变得新鲜起来（the city feels new）。02. Cultural & Social Context 文化与社会背景为什么这个潮流在年轻人中特别受欢迎？年轻人想要训练自己的注意力，同时也在寻找幸福感。ColorWalk 提供了一个 “慢下来” 的理由。在法国，有一种类似的玩法叫做“promenade colorée”（彩色散步），艺术家或摄影师在社区里寻找特定颜色，但结构不那么固定，更偏重创意（less structured and more about creativity）。在美国，城市摄影中也有这种趋势，人们一天专注于一个色彩主题，像是把正念与视觉叙事结合在一起（merging mindfulness with visual storytelling）。这种文化对比很有趣：无论在哪，有意识地去发现色彩是让人停下脚步去感受身边的美，但方式和社交化的程度会不同。03. Psychological Benefits of Noticing Color 注意颜色的心理益处注意到颜色有心理层面的益处（psychological benefit）。有研究表明，看到鲜艳的颜色会让人心情愉快，蓝色可以让人平静，红色能增加兴奋感，绿色让人放松。ColorWalk不仅是一种美学体验，也是心理健康的小练习。它是一种微冥想（micro-meditation）：你的注意力被训练，眼睛和心灵到处都能发现美，你甚至能获得成就感（a sense of accomplishment）。这种“主动观察”还有助于提高注意力和创造力，让大脑保持活跃。有趣的是，有意识地注意到环境中颜色的人报告说感觉更快乐，与城市的联系也更紧密（more connected to their city）。这也解释了为什么大家愿意拍照、拼贴颜色地图、甚至晒到社交平台上。04. Personal Experience 个人探索城市的方式当旅行或在一个新城市散步时，喜欢走进那些游客较少的小街（the smaller streets that are less touristy），真正体验当地生活（really experience the local life）。与当地人一起吃饭，在当地商店购物，沉浸于真实的当地生活（immerse myself in the authentic local life）。这是尝试走不寻常的路（go off the beaten path），而不仅仅是看旅游景点。这样能发现城市中大多数人看不到的一面（discover a side of the city that most people don't see）。用经历而不是照片来绘制你自己的城市色彩地图（painting your own color map of the city with experiences, not just photos）。下次在你所在的城市散步时，尝试一次ColorWalk。选一个颜色，环顾四周，看看你注意到了什么（Pick a color, look around, and see what you notice）。把城市变成自己的艺术画布，找到属于你的色彩碎片，也是一种小小的幸福训练。欢迎在评论区留言：在你生活的城市里，有没有哪个角落或哪条小路，让你发现了意想不到的色彩之美？In the city where you live, is there a corner or a path where you've discovered unexpected beauty of color?

Success in business isn't just about strategy. It's also about proximity - who you're around, the conversations you're exposed to, and the standards of the rooms you choose to enter. In this solo episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail shares why being in the right rooms can dramatically accelerate your growth as a retreat leader and entrepreneur. For many years Shannon's business was doing well. But about five years ago, something shifted. She started attending conferences, joining masterminds, and intentionally placing herself in rooms with other high-level entrepreneurs. The result? Her business didn't just grow - it exploded. Because the rooms you choose to enter quietly shape: Your thinking Your standards Your opportunities Your results In this episode, Shannon breaks down the power of proximity and why retreat leaders who want to grow must intentionally place themselves in environments that challenge and expand them. If you've ever wondered whether investing in conferences, masterminds, or industry events is worth it, this conversation will change the way you think about it. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why proximity is one of the most powerful growth accelerators in business • How the rooms you enter shape your thinking and expectations • The hidden opportunities that come from simply being present in the right environments • Why many entrepreneurs avoid high-level rooms • How retreat leaders can intentionally create proximity that fuels their growth Key Takeaways The Rooms You Choose Shape Your Results Who you spend time with influences: the conversations you hear the ideas you're exposed to the standards you adopt the opportunities you encounter Growth accelerates when you intentionally surround yourself with people who think bigger and operate differently. Proximity Changes Your Thinking Most people believe growth comes from: books courses information Those things matter. But often the biggest shifts happen through exposure. When you're in the right room, you start hearing conversations like: "How do we scale this?" "What systems are you using?" "What worked in your last launch?" "What's your revenue goal this year?" Your brain begins calibrating to a different level of thinking. Standards Are Contagious When you're around people operating at a high level, you start noticing things like: professionalism follow-through preparation attention to detail For retreat leaders, this might look like seeing how others: structure their retreats communicate with guests design experiences price their offerings market their events Suddenly you realize: "Oh… this can be done differently." The Hidden Opportunities Proximity Creates Some of the biggest opportunities in business don't come from marketing. They come from conversations. Many collaborations, referrals, and partnerships begin through simple interactions in the right rooms. Examples include: speaking opportunities partnerships referrals introductions collaborations These opportunities happen when people know and trust you. And trust is built through presence. Why Entrepreneurs Avoid These Rooms Many entrepreneurs hesitate to enter high-level environments because of: Fear "What if I'm not ready?" "What if I don't belong there?" "What if I'm the least experienced person in the room?" Money concerns investment in travel conference tickets mastermind memberships Sometimes it's also ego. But the truth is: Being the least experienced person in the room is often exactly where growth happens. If every room you're in feels comfortable, you're probably not stretching enough. Not Every Room Is the Right Room Discernment matters. The best environments include: Leaders who have actually built successful businesses People willing to share real strategies and lessons Collaborative energy rather than competition Participants who take action The right room should expand your thinking and challenge you to grow. Why Retreat Leaders Need Proximity The retreat industry can feel isolating. As a retreat leader you are often: holding space for others leading the experience making all the decisions Being around other retreat leaders helps you: share strategies troubleshoot challenges stay current with industry trends learn what's working right now You don't have to build your retreat business alone. How to Create Intentional Proximity You don't need to attend every event. But you should choose a few strategic rooms each year. Examples include: conferences industry forums mastermind groups retreats workshops Ask yourself: Where are the people who are doing what I want to be doing? Then make a plan to enter those spaces. Even if it feels uncomfortable. Final Takeaway Proximity changes what you believe is possible. When you see someone else building a thriving retreat business, scaling a company, or creating powerful experiences for their audiences, it moves from theoretical to real. Growth isn't just about what you know. It's about who you're around. Choose your rooms carefully. Because the right room can change everything. If you're serious about growing your retreat business, this is exactly why we created the Retreat Industry Forum. Rooms matter. Who you surround yourself with matters. And proximity to the right leaders can accelerate your business like nothing else.

Alison sits down with Dr. Zaid Fadul, a licensed concierge physician operating in all 50 states and a military doctor, to explore the evolving landscape of healthcare through the lens of concierge medicine. The two delve into the concept of concierge care, a model that breaks free from the limitations of the traditional insurance-driven healthcare system.Concierge medicine offers a patient-centered approach, allowing for greater flexibility and personalized care. Dr. Fadul emphasizes the freedom it grants both patients and physicians, breaking away from restrictive insurance protocols. This model allows for consistent and immediate communication, enabling patients to connect with him whenever they need, thereby fostering a relationship based on trust and the prioritization of health over bureaucratic obstacles.One of the key themes they explore is the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) by individuals seeking healthcare advice. Dr. Fadul acknowledges the use of AI in providing information, but warns against over-reliance on it as a substitute for professional medical guidance. He outlines best practices for using AI responsibly in healthcare inquiries, emphasizing the importance of context and clarity in question formulation. Dr. Fadul advocates for patients educating themselves about their health while underscoring the necessity of consulting experienced medical professionals to navigate complex medical situations correctly.Dr. Fadul's practice operates on a membership model that allows patients to have convenient access to comprehensive care through virtual engagement. They discuss the variety of services available, designed to meet diverse patient needs, from lab monitoring to extensive medical records management.This conversation is not only a look into the innovative world of concierge medicine but also a profound discussion on the future of healthcare in an increasingly digital age. Alison and Dr. Fadul wrap up the episode with practical advice for listeners considering a switch to a concierge physician for their personal healthcare. Whether exploring concierge medicine or consulting AI for health advice, nothing can replace the nuanced understanding and empathy that a trained physician brings to the table.HIGHLIGHTS:2:00 Dr. Fadul's Journey to Concierge Medicine4:23 The Appeal of Freedom in Healthcare5:42 Understanding Patient Demographics7:11 Common Healthcare Challenges8:40 The Role of AI in Healthcare14:03 Best Practices for Using AI14:51 The Limitations of Self-Diagnosis16:06 Personal Experience vs. Book Knowledge17:54 Reliable AI Platforms for Health19:26 Membership Model in Virtual Careconnect with Dr. Fadulwebsite: https://www.bespokeconciergemd.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drzaidfadulSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

Orthodox Easter this year was a week later than Western Christianity. I was able to take a unique journey into Orthodox Easter traditions and the historical resilience of early Christianity. https://youtu.be/h8xYSNU9e6o It was a fascinating experience to visit St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church in Clearfield, Utah, after meeting a California member named Daniel Michalski. Unlike Western traditions, the Coptic Easter service is held on Saturday night and can last up to four hours, featuring a blend of English, Coptic, and Arabic chanting. One of the most striking rituals is the procession of the icon of Christ, which is buried in roses during Holy Week and then “resurrected” as the lights are turned on, accompanied by the unique sound of cymbals. Beyond the personal experience, we dove into the history of the Coptic Church, which split from Western Christianity in 451 AD following the Council of Chalcedon over complex theological debates regarding the nature of Christ. This history is framed within a broader discussion of the early Christian era, moving from the movement’s roots as a persecuted sect to its establishment as the Roman state religion under Constantine. Most Mormons are familiar with the death and resurrection of Christ and Constatine's ascension in the 4th century,  but know little about history of Christianity in the centuries in between. I discussed various early factions, such as the Gnostics, who prioritized secret wisdom over the physical resurrection, with the orthodox view that eventually triumphed. We also touched on the following key points: LDS Perspectives: We emphasized the physical resurrection of Jesus, citing recent General Conference messages regarding the victory of the empty tomb. Calendar Differences: The discrepancy between Western and Orthodox Easter dates were explained by the use of the Julian calendar versus the Gregorian calendar. Coptic Practices: Insights into infant baptism by immersion, the practice of closed communion, and the fact that Coptic priests can be married are also highlighted. Community Highlights: The episode concludes with a book giveaway of Holiness to the Lord and a teaser for a future discussion with Dr Matthew Bowman on the “Christian” roots of basketball.   Part 1: Personal Experience and the Coptic Orthodox Easter Service 0:00 – Introduction and Book Giveaway: 2:00 – Meeting Daniel Michalski: 5:00 – Attending the Coptic Service in Clearfield: attending a four-hour Saturday night Easter service, including observations on the small congregation and the use of English, Coptic, and Arabic. 10:00 – The Resurrection Ritual: An explanation of the dramatic liturgical moment where an icon of Christ is “resurrected” from a bed of roses, accompanied by chanting and cymbals. Part 2: History of Early Christianity 15:00 – The Great Schism of 451: includes a discussion on the Council of Chalcedon and how a theological dispute over a preposition regarding the nature of Christ led the Coptic Church to split from Western Christianity. 19:00 – Historical Jesus and the Temple: The host analyzes the cleansing of the temple as a political act of subversion that directly led to Jesus’s execution. 23:00 – The Crucifixion and Gospel Narratives. 27:00 – Mechanics of Crucifixion.

Are Megachurches, Christian Influencers, and Artificial Intelligence Breaking the Church?   This week on the Good Faith podcast, Katelyn Beaty joins host Curtis Chang to confront the church's growing addiction to celebrity culture, asking how celebrity pastors, megachurch platforms, and AI are changing the way Christians are formed. Curtis even asks Katelyn to evaluate whether his public persona and the Good Faith platform risk becoming part of the very problem they're critiquing. If faith is becoming more online, more branded, and less embodied, this conversation asks the hard question: what happens to authentic Christian community, spiritual growth, and discipleship when personality starts to outrun the way of Jesus?   02:06 - Defining Persona vs. Fame 04:14 - Embodied Relationships vs. Platform 05:17 - Curtis's Personal Experience with Platform 09:56 - Dangers of Platform Culture for the Church 14:27 - Curtis's Dilemma: Content vs. Persona 17:58 - Navigating Platform Tensions as a Christian Leader 20:09 - Case Studies: Celebrity Gone Wrong and Right 25:34 - Community and Spiritual Formation Beyond Megachurches  30:10 - Technology, Evangelicals, and the Attention Economy 33:00 - AI and the Future of Persona and Platform  36:12 - Final Hope: Embodied, Material Christian Life   Take the Listener Survey Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List     Mentioned in This Episode: More about Katelyn Beaty Katelyn Beaty's Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church TIME: The True Story Behind the FX Documentary Series The Secrets of Hillsong  Christianity Today's podcast: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill New York Times: How the Willow Creek Church Scandal Has Stunned the Evangelical World More about Eugene Peterson Curtis Chang's The Anxiety Opportunity     More From Katelyn Beaty: Katelyn Beaty's Substack The Beaty Beat  Katelyn Beaty's podcast Saved by the City Katelyn Beaty's A Woman's Place Participant Guide: A Bible Study Exploring Every Woman's Call to Work     Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often daunting topic of visibility, particularly within the context of the Christian life. As someone who has always had a love-hate relationship with being seen, I share my personal journey and the struggles that many of us face when it comes to putting ourselves out there. I begin by discussing the common fears associated with visibility, including the anticipation stress that can overwhelm us before we even take action. I highlight how our nervous systems can create a predictive narrative that amplifies our anxiety, making it difficult to step into the roles God has called us to.   Find out more about Roshanda Pratt at www.roshandapratt.com Get the Visibility Prayer HERE Looking for a powerful community to support you?

They explore the importance of transformational experiences and how simple gatherings can lead to deeper connections among men. Key Insights Transformational Experiences: Men often seek meaningful experiences that can lead to personal growth and connection. Frank shares how participating in F3 and Warrior Heart boot camps has profoundly changed his perspective on leadership and relationships. Gathering for Brotherhood: The act of gathering, whether for workouts or casual meet-ups, is crucial for building community. Frank emphasizes that men need spaces where they can connect and share their experiences authentically. Authenticity in Leadership: Leaders should prioritize creating environments where vulnerability is encouraged. This can be achieved by moving away from rigid lesson structures and focusing on genuine interactions. Shifting Perspectives: Frank discusses the importance of recognizing limiting beliefs and perspectives that can hinder personal growth. Leaders should help others see beyond their current views to embrace a broader understanding of their purpose. Simplicity in Engagement: Simple gatherings, such as meeting for hot dogs or casual discussions, can effectively draw men together and foster meaningful conversations, making it easier for them to engage with one another. Leadership Applications Focus on Gathering: Latter-day Saint leaders can prioritize creating informal gatherings that encourage connection among men, such as breakfast meetings or service projects, rather than strictly adhering to lesson plans. Encourage Vulnerability: Leaders should model vulnerability and openness in their interactions, creating a safe space for others to share their thoughts and feelings, which can lead to stronger bonds within the group. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Leaders can facilitate discussions that help members identify and overcome limiting beliefs, encouraging them to explore their divine potential and purpose within the community.
