Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastMost people want change. Very few are willing to follow a model long enough to earn it.In this episode, we sit down with Alison Harris, a real estate agent out of Savannah, Georgia, who made a bold decision in 2021 to relaunch her entire business from the ground up. Forty months later, she crossed the million-dollar GCI mark by committing to a clear model and running it with discipline.Alison walks us through the Six Personal Perspectives and how each one showed up in her real life, not as theory, but as daily behavior. We unpack what it really means to commit to self-mastery, why the 80/20 principle gave her time back, and how moving from entrepreneurial to purposeful changed everything.This is not a story about a magic lead source or a shiny new system. Alison is clear about that. The growth came from magic in the mundane—building a five-star database, running a consistent touch program, holding people accountable, and committing to a learning-based business even when it was uncomfortable.If you've ever felt capped by hustle, stuck under a ceiling, or frustrated that effort isn't translating into freedom, this conversation delivers a conversational framework you can apply immediately.No hype. No shortcuts. Just a proven path, run the right way.Resources:Explore: BOLD at Keller WilliamsLearn: The Six Personal Perspectives by Gary KellerDownload: MREA Podcast Notes and Models at mreanotes.com Order the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

When IVF ends without a baby, life does not always fall apart. Sometimes it goes quiet. You may still be showing up to work, keeping plans, and getting through your days, yet something feels off. You are functioning, but not fully connected to your life. In this episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast, you are introduced to the concept of a grief plateau and why it is so common for women who are childless not by choice after infertility and IVF failed. A grief plateau explains why life can feel paused after fertility treatments end. Not dramatic grief. Not constant sadness. But a flat, stuck feeling that is hard to name and even harder to explain to others. This episode helps you understand what may be happening beneath the surface and why it makes sense, given everything you have been through. In this episode, you will learn: What a grief plateau is and how it shows up after IVF failed. Why many women feel "off" after infertility even when life looks fine on the outside. How years of fertility treatments affect your body, brain, and sense of safety. Why staying busy, feeling numb, or avoiding big dreams can be a form of protection. How losing the dream of motherhood can leave your future feeling unclear. Why understanding where you are matters before trying to move forward. This episode is for you if: You left fertility treatments without a baby and feel disconnected from yourself. Life feels stuck or paused after IVF failed. You are tired of being told to move on or look on the bright side. You want language that makes sense of life after infertility. This is not an episode about fixing yourself or rushing into a new version of life. It is about naming an experience many women have but rarely hear explained. Resource mentioned in this episode: Top 27 Things People Say When You're Childless and How to Respond A free guide to help you navigate uncomfortable comments and advice after infertility. Get the free guide here. If life feels quiet after IVF failed and you do not know why, this episode will help you understand what you may be standing in right now.

There are moments when a conversation slows you down in the best possible way. My discussion with Brad Farris was one of those moments—a reminder that growth isn't just about doing more, faster, or harder, but about becoming the kind of leader who can sustain momentum without burning everything down in the process.Brad has spent decades working alongside agency and expert-firm owners, helping them move past the $1M–$2M ceiling and into healthier, more durable growth. What stood out to me wasn't just his experience—it was his insistence that the real work happens internally. The biggest constraint to progress, he argues, isn't strategy or systems. It's what's happening between your ears.Six Discussion PointsWhy agency growth stalls at the $1M–$2M mark—and why effort alone won't fix itThe hidden cost of hurry, speed, and “getting through the list”Why leadership is about choosing, not clearingHow inbox habits reveal whether you're managing or leadingThe role of presence, energy, and reflection in better decision-makingWhy leading yourself is the first step to leading othersThree Connection PointsAnchor Advisors – Brad's home base and advisory workBrad Farris on LinkedInHow To Transform A Single Daily Theme Into An Everyday FocusBrad's perspective reinforces something I've seen repeatedly: sustainable growth isn't about squeezing more output from yourself or your team. It's about creating the conditions where clarity, rest, and intention can do their work. This conversation is an invitation to slow down just enough to lead better.

In today's Ask Allison, we're talking about why so many virtual, private-pay therapists get stuck just shy of full and what actually helps you break through that plateau. We'll explore why this usually isn't a skill issue, but a structure and consistency issue, from marketing and messaging to referrals and consults. We'll cover why "almost full" can drag on for months, how therapist-y language hurts conversions, and what boring but effective systems help you get full and stay full.

This episode explores why God chose Jerusalem as His eternal dwelling place and what the prophets reveal about the future city. Topics Covered: Ezekiel's millennial city vs. John's New Jerusalem New Creation Premillennialism explained Biblical evidence for Jerusalem's eternal significance Zechariah's Plateau and geographical prophecy Detailed comparisons of Ezekiel 40-48 and Revelation 21-22 Why predictive prophecy matters The 12 gates, square base, and architectural parallels Recommended Reading: "What on Earth Is Heaven? Like The New Creation and the New Jerusalem" by Janet Willis Available on Amazon: [link] Key Scripture References: 2 Chronicles 6:6 | Psalm 132:13-14 | Jeremiah 30-31 | Zechariah 14:10-11 | Ezekiel 40-48 | Revelation 21-22 The episode's central argument compares two prophetic visions with remarkable parallels: Both Ezekiel and John were transported to the future by angelic guides Both received detailed measurements via measuring rods Both witnessed a square-based city with twelve gates (three on each side) Both identified the city as holy and as God's throne Both emphasized the city's perpetual significance Neither city contained a temple Ezekiel describes the city in chapters 40-48, while John's vision appears in Revelation 21-22. The identical architectural details—square base, twelve gates with tribal names, holy designation, and God's throne—strongly suggest they describe the same physical location. Emphasis on Literal Interpretation The speaker stresses trusting the biblical text literally rather than spiritualizing prophetic details. He critiques amillennialists, preterists, and reformed theologians who struggle with Zechariah 14's specificity, noting they attempt to allegorize clear geographical language. The speaker advocates for accepting God's prophetic word at face value, trusting the text's plain meaning rather than conforming it to theological systems. The episode concludes by previewing future discussions about why the New Jerusalem contains no temple, inviting deeper exploration of this remarkable prophecy. https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/

It's Tuesday, January 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 32 Christians since Christmas Killings of Christians continue unabated in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Islamist terrorists have killed at least 32 Christians since Christmas, and burned down hundreds of homes in the Adamawa, Kebbi, and Plateau states. Congressman asserts Nigerian Christians targeted for their faith On January 1st, Republican U.S. Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia weighed in on X. He wrote, “If there were any remaining doubts that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted for their faith in Jesus Christ, this should end that debate.  This isn't about land usage, ‘climate change,' or any other argument the Left wants to make. “This is persecution of our brothers and sisters for their faith in Christ, plain and simple. ISIS is telling Christians they have an opportunity to ‘spare their blood' if they convert. Our brothers and sisters will not bend the knee to anyone but our Lord and Savior.” Also, late last week, the Islamic-supported Allied Democratic Forces carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people in the Lubero territory of Congo, Africa. 20 Iranians have died in protests in 78 cities Iranian protests enter Day 9 where at least 20 people have died in the unrest. Protests have been cited in 78 cities across 26 provinces, reports Iran International.  According to The Times on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader has a backup plan in place — to abscond to Russia should his security forces fail. North Korea shot hypersonic missiles Sunday North Korea successfully fired off several hypersonic missiles on Sunday, connecting with targets 700 miles away in Korea's East Sea. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un called it a “very important strategic task to maintain and expand a powerful and reliable nuclear deterrent.”  Back in 2019, China deployed hypersonic technology. But the United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology — it is still in the testing phase.  Number of foreigners in Austria, Belgium and UK skyrocketing Remix News reports that over 41% of the population of Vienna, Austria's capital, is foreign born. And 50 percent of first-graders do not understand German. Also, Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all elementary school students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. Plus, Austria, Belgium, and the United Kingdom have the highest percentages of babies born to immigrants — above 30%. Venezuelan dictator and wife plead not guilty The Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both arrested by the U.S. government over the weekend, appeared in a New York City Court Monday to face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy. and weapons offenses. They entered pleas of innocence to the charges. Psalm 37:9 is clear: “Evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth.” China financed $60 billion loans to Venezuela Come to find out China has been a major player in Venezuela since 2000. The Council on Foreign Relations reports that Venezuela ate up $60 billion of Chinese loans accounting for fully half of all the money that China loaned to South America over the years. And China has been taking in about 80% of Venezuelan oil exports of late. Rubio objects to Iran, China, & Russia propping up Venezuela Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio objected to America's enemies propping up Venezuela in America's backyard. Listen. RUBIO: “We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. “Why have 8 million people left Venezuela? Eight million: the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela in 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? “The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is deeply destabilizing stuff. ”It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.” Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Uruguay & Spain upset about Maduro The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain have issued a statement airing their disagreement with the U.S. military actions taken against Venezuela over the weekend.   The statement appealed to what they called the “principles of the United Nations Charter.” Trump upset that drug cartels are running Mexico and Columbia President Donald Trump has also told the U.S. press that something has to be done with Mexico. He told Fox News that the  drug cartels are running the country.  Plus, he called Columbia a “sick country” run by a “sick” president who “likes to sell Cocaine to the United States.” Trump said he's not going to be doing this very long.   And the president said, “Cuba is ready to fall” as well.  But let us all remember Who rules. Psalm 22:28-29 says, “For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the Earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.” Dallas street preachers handcuffed and detained without cause Here in America, street preachers connected with a “Reformed Baptist evangelistic ministry, [Testimonies of God], committed to the supremacy of Scripture and the advancement of Christ's Gospel,” were handcuffed and detained by police officers in Dallas a few weeks ago. The Christian Post reports that an officer had required the evangelists to get off the public sidewalk and cross the street — an order the preachers believed was unlawful. So far, no charges have been filed in the case. 15 states still allow trans surgeries and drugs for kids Two hospitals in left-wing Colorado have decided to stop writing prescriptions for sex-change drugs for children, reports 9-News. Children's Hospital and Denver Health have cited warnings from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Colorado was the faux-sex-change capital of the world in the 1980s and 1990s.   Sadly, 15 states still allow gender-based mutilation or gender-debilitating drugs for kids including Colorado, California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York.

In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest gaps between amateur and professional padel: how players actually train.Fresh from Barcelona and a behind-the-scenes look at one of the highest-level finals ever played, Sandy shares what stood out most—not just the level in matches, but the detail and intention in how the pros prepare. From practicing individual shots to adapting to slow courts, we explore why training (not just matches) is where real improvement happens.We also reflect on coaching trips to South Africa, the rise of new padel communities, and why so many club players plateau despite playing multiple times a week. The takeaway is simple but powerful: small, consistent training blocks can completely change your game.If you want to improve in 2026 without spending more hours on court, this episode is your starting point.

Jane and Steve head west of the Blue Line to the Tug Hill Plateau—one of the snowiest corners of the East—and sit down with Snow Ridge co-owner and general manager Nick Mir to talk powder mornings, small-mountain grit, and why “Ice Coast” doesn't always apply.Nick shares what it's really like to run a fiercely independent ski area (yes… sometimes it's unclogging a septic line), how lake-effect bands can bury the hill while it's bone-dry 10 miles away, and how Snow Ridge balances old-school charm—like the legendary T-bar-served Snow Pocket—with smart upgrades behind the scenes.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy Tug Hill can be “nuking” at Snow Ridge while nearby towns stay dryThe unglamorous but essential realities of owning and operating a mom-and-pop ski mountainWhat makes a true powder morning at Snow Ridge so special, from hooting chairlifts to no lift linesRecent improvements, including expanded snowmaking and the return of North ChairBeloved Snow Ridge traditions like torchlight parades, pond skims, and the Christmas Eve food driveSnow Ridge is located in Turin, NY, about 35 minutes from Old Forge—close enough to feel connected to the Adirondack ski scene while offering a distinctly Tug Hill experience.

Tras el Big Bang, solo había hidrógeno, helio y un poco de litio. El oxígeno, necesario para hacer agua (H2O), tuvo que "cocinarse" en el interior de las primeras estrellas y ser expulsado al espacio después, cuando éstas murieron. Esto convierte a este descubrimiento en la reserva más grande y, sobre todo, la más antigua de agua que se conoce hasta la fecha. El agua, por lo tanto, no es una rareza moderna; es una parte intrínseca de la historia antigua del cosmos. El agua que han detectado no es líquida, como la de nuestros mares, sino una niebla "espesa" y "caliente" (en términos cósmicos) que envuelve por completo al agujero negro. En el cuásar APM 08279+5255, el agua no puede congelarse. La energía del agujero negro la mantiene en estado gaseoso, excitada, emitiendo señales de radio que han viajado por el universo durante 12.000 millones de años hasta llegar al espectrómetro Z-Spec en el Observatorio Submilimétrico de Caltech, en Hawái, y al interferómetro de Plateau de Bure en los Alpes franceses. Es gracias a estos instrumentos que hemos podido "leer" la firma química del agua a través del abismo del tiempo.

Most companies plateau. Brad shows you why and how to break through. In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars explains the real ceilings businesses hit at $1M, $3M, and $10M and what it actually takes to push past each one. He breaks down the “million-dollar founder ceiling,” where everything still runs through you; the $3M systems ceiling, where the business is trapped in people's heads instead of documented processes; and the $10M leadership ceiling, where growth stalls because you haven't built leaders who can build the next phase.Brad also dives into the biggest enemy of scale: complexity. He explains why simplifying products, narrowing focus, and doing the one thing you can be the best in the world at is the fastest path to $100M. He shares lessons from Apple, McDonald's, and even Cheesecake Factory to show how modularization and clarity unlock leverage.From there, Brad walks you through the real choke points that stop companies from scaling, and how each one suffocates growth if you don't solve it early. He then lays out the path forward: building systems at $1M, building leaders at $3M, and building strategy at $10M, so you can scale from there to $100M and beyond.If you want to understand exactly why businesses stall, and what to do next, this is the episode for you. See you next week, on the 100M Entrepreneur Podcast, new episode every Wednesday.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

You're working out, trying to cut back on sugar and cook at home more, but the scale hasn't moved in months. It's getting to the point where you are wondering, "What the heck am I doing wrong?" In this episode, I walk you through what's really happening when your weight stalls, why changing everything isn't the answer (or putting more effort), and how one of my clients went from sitting at the same weight for 8 months to finally losing 8 pounds in the first 60 days of us working together. And y'all— I didn't make her star tover or blow her entire weight loss plan out. Instead, we focused on adjusting the workout and eating habits that will make the most progress. So get ready as I share what a weight loss plateau actually is, why your body might be responding the way it is right now, and what's next. -Why being “kind of consistent” isn't enough to judge a plateau, and the question you need to ask yourself before changing anything -The difference between effort and effectiveness, especially if you've been repeating the same meal plan and workouts for months -Why switching plans too quickly keeps your body stuck, even when you're trying to “do better.” -Know exactly what a plateau is actually asking you to adjust, instead of abandoning everything and starting from scratch Book a call to get your custom holiday plan: https://calendly.com/superlysam/6-months-1-1-coaching-sales-call Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?

In this profound conversation, Dr. Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and bestselling author—shares groundbreaking insights on parenting, brain development, and human flourishing.Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal neurobiology and author of influential books including "The Developing Mind," "Parenting from the Inside Out," "The Whole-Brain Child," and "Mindsight." His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice.THE CORE PRINCIPLE: INTEGRATIONDaniel Siegel introduces the foundational concept governing well-being across all scales—from neurons to nations.Integration means honoring differences (differentiation) while creating connections (linkage). When integration is blocked, we experience chaos, rigidity, or both. The revolutionary equation: integrative relationships create integrated brains, which generate resilient minds, meaningful relationships, and flourishing lives.TEMPERAMENT VS. PERSONALITY: THE NEUROSCIENCEDr. Siegel reveals cutting-edge research on how temperament—rooted in brain stem connectivity formed in the womb—differs from personality. Temperament is inborn (not necessarily genetic) and characterised by sensitivity and intensity across three core motivational drives: Agency (embodied empowerment), Bonding (relational connection), and Certainty (predictability and safety). Personality develops as we adapt our temperament through experience, particularly attachment relationships.THE BEST PREDICTOR OF CHILD OUTCOMESThe most powerful finding in attachment research: how parents make sense of their own life history predicts their child's development better than what actually happened to them. PRACTICAL PARENTING WISDOMLearn the "4 S's" framework—how children need to be Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure. Discover why humans evolved for "alloparenting" with multiple caregivers. Understand the COAL state of mind (Curious, Open, Accepting, Loving) when navigating challenging behaviors.NINE DOMAINS OF INTEGRATIONDr. Siegel explains practical applications: Left-Right Integration (your infant's right-hemisphere communication), Vertical Integration (accessing body wisdom), Memory Integration (transforming implicit memories), and Consciousness Integration (the "Wheel of Awareness" practice).THE MWE IDENTITYDaniel Siegel offers hope: we can raise the next generation with expanded identity—not just "me" but "MWE" (me + we), recognizing we're part of interconnected systems. This shift could transform humanity's trajectory toward collaboration and thriving.Other References: "Mothers and Others" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize work (1981), Carol Dweck's research, Ed Tronick's "Still Face Experiment," Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang's research(00:00) Introduction (02:59) What is Integration?

Some of us might not be doing enough, but many times when you hit a plateau, you are doing too much of the same thing, or too intense, too often. Change it up. Back off. Give your body, muscles, and mind time to rest and recover. Most of the magic happens during recovery. Don't underestimate doing something less intense, or having more recovery time.

Most chiropractors plateau for reasons that have nothing to do with marketing, money, or motivation.The real problem? They get trapped in one of two extremes: blind optimism or defeated realism. In this episode, we explore the Stockdale Paradox—a mindset framework that helps you hold unshakeable faith in your vision while confronting the brutal facts of your current reality. You’ll learn how this paradox shows up in the three core problems facing every chiropractic practice—no one knows you, no one stays, and no time—and how to use it to create more clarity, stability, and predictable growth. If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure of your next step, this episode will show you the mindset shift that breaks the cycle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a text In this episode of The Incubator Podcast, recorded live at Hot Topics in Neonatology in Washington, DC, we sit down with Dr. Daniele De Luca, Chief of Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care at AP-HP Paris-Saclay University and leader of one of Europe's largest NICUs. Dr. De Luca discusses the groundbreaking Lancet Child & Adolescent Health Commission on the Future of Neonatology, a three-year initiative involving over 100 global key opinion leaders addressing the critical innovation gap in our specialty. He explores why neonatal medicine has experienced a slowdown in therapeutic advances since the 1990s, despite treating patients who will become citizens for decades ahead. The conversation covers the multifactorial barriers to innovation—from regulatory challenges to funding constraints—and the Commission's comprehensive recommendations for industry, regulators, academic centers, and patient representatives. Dr. De Luca emphasizes the urgent need to avoid treating babies in 20 years the same way we did 20 years ago, highlighting specific examples like the decades-long journey from drug development to registration and the paradox of FDA-approved equipment. He calls for a united approach to elevate neonatology's profile, establish formal specialty recognition, and accelerate the translation of research into bedside care.  Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
