In this episode, I dive deeper into a topic that has the power to change the way we move through our lives: our energetic yes and our energetic no. After betrayal or years of people-pleasing, it's common to lose touch with the truth your body is trying to communicate. Today, I explore how to recognize the physical signatures of alignment — the openness of a yes, the contraction of a no — long before the logical mind tries to negotiate, justify, or override them. I share examples from my own life, moments when choosing alignment meant disappointing others, and why honoring my energetic truth has become a key part of rebuilding self-trust. I also offer practical guidance for how to pause, listen, and make decisions in real time, even when fear or doubt follow closely behind. If you're trying to navigate life after infidelity or simply want to reconnect with your inner guidance, this episode will help you listen more closely and lead yourself with integrity. Takeaways: How your body signals yes and no in real time Why your first sensation is more honest than your thoughts How honoring your truth rebuilds self-trust Practical steps for tuning into your energetic signals If you want support applying this work to your own healing, reach out.

Episode Summary In this episode, Rob explores why the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:2, he unpacks the biblical blueprint for spiritual multiplication—Paul → Timothy → Reliable People → Others. Rob explains how real impact comes not from doing everything yourself, but from raising up others to carry the message forward. Rob also shares insights from leadership expert Carl George, reminding listeners that effective leaders accomplish work through people—not by doing everything themselves. Whether you're a ministry leader, a small group leader, or simply a believer wanting to grow, this episode will help you break the "solo Christian" mindset and embrace the 10X approach of multiplying disciples. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why following Jesus alone limits your impact How 2 Timothy 2:2 gives a four-generation model for disciple-making The difference between doing ministry and developing ministers Why multiplication—not solo effort—is the heart of the 10X life Practical steps for passing on your faith to others How investing in people creates long-term, generational influence Key Quote "The task is too great for one person. It is more important for the leader of a growing church to produce other leaders than to perform personal ministry." —Carl George Application / Challenge Ask yourself: Who am I training right now? Who is learning from my walk with God? Who can I intentionally invest in this week? The 10X Christian doesn't try to carry everything alone—they multiply their impact by raising others up.

What if your family economy wasn't just about income streams, but about open doors? Kevin, Danny, and Todd unpack biblical hospitality—philia xenia, love of strangers—as a non-optional mandate, not a niche personality trait. They contrast programmatic church life with a truly relational culture, call dads to trade overstuffed sports schedules for intentional Sundays around the table, and show how widows, orphans, missionaries, and lonely saints fit into the weekly calendar. The aim: a family economy where serving strangers is normal, and love of the brethren saturates the home.

Learn why you taper, what a smart taper actually looks like, and why “carb-loading” isn't a one-size solution. Coaches Caroline and Valerie break down race-week intensity vs. volume, practical taper templates, real fueling rules you should test in training, and step-by-step actions to arrive at the start line fresh, confident, and race-ready.✅ Key takeaways✅ Taper purpose: reduce fatigue while preserving the fitness you earned — not to “rust” you into race day.✅ Pull intensity more than you pull volume — keep short, familiar runs so legs stay springy.✅ Two-hour long runs (or time-based training) beat arbitrary 20-mile checks for most recreational runners.✅ Test nutrition in training — gels, real food, and carb strategies are highly individual; don't experiment on race day.✅ Split volume (two shorter runs a day or back-to-back long-ish days) builds time-on-feet safely when you can't do a single multi-hour block.✅ Strength & drills during taper week: short, low-intensity strength and hop/drill work preserves neuromuscular readiness without adding fatigue.✅ Practical race-week checklist (sleep, hydration, kit, warm-up, pacing plan) beats myths like one-time “mega” carb dumps.Suggested episode chapters (no timestamps)Welcome & why tapering scares runnersWhat a taper is — physiology & recovery principlesRace-week strategy: intensity vs. volume (what to cut and what to keep)Two-hour rule and time-based training vs. mile-based thinkingCarb-loading: what it helps, what it doesn't, and how to test fueling in trainingPractical week-by-week taper templates (example approaches)Race-week checklist & pacing adviceFinal coaching tips & where to get helpActionables you can do this weekReplace one long weekend run with two shorter runs (AM + PM) to experiment with split volume.Do 3×30s ball-of-foot hops after warmup to preserve elasticity without fatigue.Run a practice fueling session: test the exact gel/real food and timing you'll use on race day.

Hiring a “quality manager” in China or Asia doesn't always mean you're getting someone who can actually protect your brand. In this episode, Renaud walks through how to tell a real quality leader from a simple document handler: the interview questions that expose true ISO 9001 competence, what strong (and weak) answers sound like, and how this role can either quietly drain money… or drive real improvement.   Episode Sections: 00:00 – Cold Open: Can you trust that “quality manager”? 01:00 – Why the quality manager hire is a “hidden” benefit (or risk) 02:30 – Do you want a document pusher or an improvement leader? 04:45 – ISO 9001 “trick questions” that reveal real knowledge 07:00 – Can they explain the system, not just recite the standard? 09:20 – Scenario: lots of customer complaints – what do they actually do? 12:30 – Switching between “heavy” analysis and fast problem-solving 14:00 – What “profile” are you really looking for? 16:00 – Paying more for the right person vs. the cost of poor quality 18:00 – Wrap-up: Practical takeaways for your next hire   Related content...

In this episode, we're joined by Mamdouh Medhat, VP and Senior Researcher at Dimensional Fund Advisors, for an exceptionally deep, exceptionally nerdy exploration of factor investing—focusing on profitability, value, defensive equity, and the persistent misunderstandings that surround them. Mamdouh walks us through his retrospective paper (co-authored with Robert Novy-Marx) on the profitability premium, why profitability subsumes a wide range of quality metrics, and why it dramatically clarifies how we should think about defensive/low-volatility strategies. He also explains the role of profitability in value's US underperformance since 2007, why price-to-book remains a remarkably effective valuation metric, and how Dimensional incorporates these insights into portfolio construction. In the second half of the conversation, we shift to private markets. Mamdouh unpacks Dimensional's research on buyouts, venture capital, private credit, and private real estate—revealing what percentage of the global investable universe these funds actually represent, how to benchmark them properly, how much dispersion exists across managers, how fair-value accounting changed the game post-2007, and why many perceived diversification benefits are actually just return smoothing. Key Points From This Episode: (0:04) Intro to Mamdouh Medhat and why his research fits the Rational Reminder "nerdy happy place." (1:32) The story behind Mamdouh's retrospective paper with Robert Novy-Marx and the impact of the original profitability research on academia and practice. (5:36) Three things the paper examines: quality investing, defensive/low-risk strategies, and value—unified through profitability. (6:55) Why none of the 15 major academic and practitioner quality metrics add explanatory power beyond profitability. (8:18) How spanning tests show profitability explains quality, but quality does not explain profitability. (12:24) Quality measures largely load on profitability—they're noisier versions of the same thing. (13:14) The link between quality metrics and fundamental momentum, especially for QMJ and quarterly ROE. (15:18) Practical implications: profitability is a parsimonious, more efficient way to capture the "quality" dimension. (16:30) Defensive equity through the profitability lens—why high profitability predicts low volatility. (18:58) Why long-only low-volatility strategies produce zero five-factor alpha—and why a simple high-profitability/low-investment portfolio plus T-bills beats them. (22:14) Alternative value metrics (EBITDA/EV, intangible-adjusted book-to-market, etc.) don't outperform price-to-book when profitability is accounted for. (24:57) Many "improved" value metrics simply rotate in profitability exposure, not better value information. (26:17) Roughly half of US value's post-2007 underperformance is explained by its negative correlation with profitability. (28:42) Industry tilts (e.g., energy/financials vs. tech/healthcare) drive much of value's volatility—not its long-term return. (30:33) The theoretical case for combining clean valuation (price-to-book) with clean expected cash flow (profitability). (33:36) Academic implications: models must jointly explain value and profitability—and their negative correlation. (35:09) Practitioner implications: parsimony—use clear valuation and cash-flow measures, limit excessive complexity. (36:53) How Dimensional measures profitability: operating profitability (revenue – COGS – SG&A – interest) scaled by book equity. (41:09) Why tilting toward or away from countries based on aggregate characteristics rarely adds value—premiums come from stocks, not countries. (42:57) Industry-level tilts show similar patterns—industry momentum exists but is impractical due to massive turnover. (46:15) How Dimensional handles country and industry weights: sort within countries, then apply sector caps. (48:27) Private markets: private funds make up roughly 10% of the global investable universe—not 25–100% as sometimes claimed. (50:53) Benchmark choice for private funds is crucial—S&P 500 is not appropriate for buyouts or VCs. (52:00) Using KSPME (public-market equivalent), buyouts and VCs match small-cap value/growth benchmarks; private credit matches high yield; private real estate underperforms listed real estate. (55:50) Factor exposures post-2007 explain 70–80% of private-fund return variation due to fair-value accounting. (1:00:48) Wide dispersion in private-fund performance—top 5% double or triple capital; bottom 5% lose half. (1:03:49) Little evidence of manager persistence—manager selection must rely on due diligence, not past vintages. (1:08:24) No strong time trend in private-fund outperformance, but correlations with public markets have increased. (1:09:13) Many diversification benefits historically attributed to private assets were actually illiquidity-driven smoothing. (1:12:25) Rising demand and democratization likely reduce expected returns in private markets—exclusivity is fading.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.  Rational Reminder on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/rationalreminder/ Rational Reminder on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/channel/ Benjamin Felix — https://pwlcapital.com/our-team/ Benjamin on X — https://x.com/benjaminwfelix Benjamin on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminwfelix/ Cameron Passmore — https://pwlcapital.com/our-team/ Cameron on X — https://x.com/CameronPassmore Cameron on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronpassmore/ Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com)

When people describe their week at work in one word, pretty much 90% of people use the word busy.

From feeling overwhelmed to making progress, Sarah shows how “naming it to tame it” helps you turn how you feel into useful actions.Episode 513

Episode SummaryWhat if peace wasn't just a feeling you occasionally experience but a person you follow daily? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Michelle Brumgard to explore what she calls The Pace of Peace.Michelle shares how years of praying for calm—in her body, her marriage, and her home—revealed that true peace isn't found in quick fixes, quiet moments, or the absence of chaos, but in Christ Himself, the Prince of Peace.Through vulnerable stories of motherhood, marriage struggles, overwhelm, and the practical demands of daily life, Michelle helps us understand how to pause, pray, and invite Jesus into the middle of our messy days.Together, Alex and Michelle unpack how peace intersects with our health, fitness, and homes—and why striving for control only leads to more overwhelm.

In this heartfelt holiday episode, Bobby Cooley and Meg Landi welcome Hannah Bush from Preteen Journey to talk about something deeper than traditions: Family Holiday Habits, and especially the practice of Advent. While the holiday season is packed with traditions, events, and cultural pressure, it's easy for families to get swept up in the noise and miss the holiness at the center of it all. Together, we explore how Advent can become a grounding habit that helps families pause, reflect, and intentionally prepare their hearts for Christ's coming. Hannah shares: The true purpose of Advent—what it is, why it matters, and how it reshapes our focus during a busy season. Practical and grace-filled resources that help families build healthy holiday habits from day one of the season all the way into the new year. How the meaningful moments we choose to prioritize shape generations, influencing the way our children will one day lead their own families in faith. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reset, and discover holiday habits that draw your family toward what's holy, not just what's expected. Join us for a conversation full of encouragement, intentionality, and a whole lot of hope for the season ahead.Download your FREE Preteen & Family Holiday Advent GuideConnect with Hannah from Preteen Journey Website: https://preteenjourney.org/ InstagramFind More FREE Advent resources here.About Empowered Homes Who we are?

What happens when Christians lose confidence in the truthfulness of Scripture?In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver interviews Dr. Richard Howe, Provost of Southern Evangelical Seminary, to discuss one of the most foundational doctrines of the Christian faith—Biblical Inerrancy.Together they explore:

The clock changed, the light faded, and suddenly sleep feels off, cravings spike, and the calendar is full of sweets and late nights. We break the winter spiral by getting back to first principles: your body runs on time signals from light and food, and those signals need clarity when the days grow short.We start with circadian anchors you can use tomorrow morning: bright outdoor light to cap cortisol, simple ways to block blue during screen time, and why amber lenses belong after sunset. If seasonal affective symptoms creep in, we lay out a sane toolkit—morning lux sessions, red light within daylight hours, and the sleep hygiene that lets melatonin do its deep repair work. Then we pivot to meal timing and macronutrients, showing how earlier breakfasts and dinners unlock nighttime healing, and why winter physiology thrives on protein, healthy fats, and storage crops like root vegetables rather than tropical fruit and sugar.From there, we reframe “cold and flu season” as an inflammation problem amplified by indoor stressors—harsh LEDs, nonstop Wi‑Fi, and sedentary routines. Practical fixes include movement snacks after meals for glucose control, opening a window to balance spectrum, using saunas or natural infrared, and putting the router on a timer at night. We also share a gentle reset you can trust: a short bone broth fast to create metabolic space for healing after holiday overindulgence. Finally, we dig into footwear and pain: how switching slowly to zero-drop, wide-toe-box barefoot shoes improved gait, reduced hip and knee pain, and even how grounding-capable soles can add an anti-inflammatory edge when you can't be barefoot outdoors.If you've felt at the mercy of shorter days, this conversation gives you calm, science-backed levers you can actually pull. Align your light, shift your meals, move a little more often, and let darkness become a nightly advantage.

In this solo episode, Erin Aquin digs into a question so many vision-led entrepreneurs wrestle with: how do you make meaningful progress on a major creative project when your life is already full? Drawing from the behind-the-scenes story of writing multiple books during some of the busiest seasons of her life—new babies, lockdowns, growing the business, teaching, coaching—Erin shares what actually makes big creative commitments possible. Spoiler: it has less to do with time-blocking hacks and far more to do with how you care for yourself, how you relate to your vision, and the honesty with which you assess your own energy. She walks through the practices that keep her grounded while working on her next book, including the non-negotiable self-investment rituals that make creativity sustainable. She also breaks down how she structures her days, why she abandoned the fantasy of 5 a.m. hustle, and what she learned from repeatedly creating ambitious projects inside busy, very human seasons of life. What you'll take away: Why self-investment isn't a luxury but the foundation for major creative work How to distinguish between genuine desire and "goal swamp" motivations A simple, clarifying daily question that keeps your projects aligned with your real vision How to identify your personal peak creative windows and use them well What to stop doing when you're avoiding your big work (and how to replace those habits) How to celebrate progress when your project feels more like a marathon than a sprint Practical ways to start today without waiting for life to "slow down" For anyone with a book, program, product, or passion project sitting on the back burner, this episode offers a grounded reminder: you don't need more time, you need the right relationship with your vision.

It's a byproduct of expectations and outcome fixation; reframe it as a challenge and return to controllables. Process > performance > outcome. Track performance stats, but win the day by executing process goals (breath, target, routine, commitment). Curiosity beats judgment. Asking "What's really happening?" dissolves shame, perfectionism, and fear—opening access to better decisions and motor memory. Calibrated intensity. Grind isn't mindless hours; it's intentional focus paired with recovery, so skills encode and become automatic. Detach identity from results. You are not your score or sales number; evaluate inputs and execution quality, not just outcomes. Reframe your language. "I have to" → "I get to," "I'm busy" → "I'm in demand"—word choice shifts physiology and performance. Coach with empathy first. Before offering fixes, make athletes feel seen; then co-create reframes and experiments they can own. Key Quotes: "Pressure doesn't exist—outside of physics. We create it with expectations." "Achievement can feel like a drug—use it to fuel you, not break you." "You're not what you produce. You are enough—regardless of the number." "Win with process goals; they ladder up to performance—and then outcomes." "Curiosity is the antidote to so many psychological 'diseases.'" "If you keep grinding the stone, it turns to nothing. Rest builds growth." "Tell yourself: You have everything you need to succeed. Then access it."

In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we're joined by Jamal Henry, a first-time homeowner at 23, investor, and author of Keys to Your 20s: The Ultimate Homebuyer Playbook for Young Adults. Jamal's journey began with the same questions many young adults face: Who am I? Where am I going? How do I navigate life on my own? His search for answers led him deep into personal development, studying success, developing routines, and learning how to stretch beyond his comfort zone. Those habits and mindsets eventually laid the foundation for achievements like buying a home at such a young age. This conversation goes far beyond homeownership or finances. You'll walk away with universal success principles that can support any goal, in any stage of life.  IN THIS EPISODE: How practicing gratitude can shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance.

The Trump Administration's U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is shifting its enforcement approach from aggressive actions to more cooperative mechanisms, such as compliance assistance programs and voluntary self-disclosure. For regulated industries such as manufacturing, heavy industry, and mineral extraction, this creates an opportunity to strengthen compliance while reducing enforcement risk. EPA's long-standing Audit Policy offers significant benefits, ranging from elimination or reduction of civil penalties to tailored incentives for new owners and clearer correction timelines. Successfully leveraging the policy, however, requires careful planning, strategic decisions on disclosure, and an understanding of potential risks. Co-hosted by Kelley Drye and Fehr Graham, this podcast version of the webinar features Kelley Drye Partners Wayne D'Angelo and Joseph Green and Fehr Graham's Matt Schroeder, EHS Practice Lead. Together, they share practical guidance on how companies can use EPA's Audit Policy to manage compliance obligations, mitigate penalties, and minimize enforcement exposure. Theyvexplore: - Recent policy shifts at EPA under the Trump Administration and their implications for regulated industries - The benefits of EPA's Audit Policy and the New Owner Audit Policy - Key considerations and potential risks when undertaking audits and disclosures - Practical tips to preserve privilege and maximize penalty mitigation - Insights into EPA's coordination with state agencies and how that impacts disclosure decisions To view the slide deck, click here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/Environmental-Auditing-and-Penalty-Mitigation_Leveraging-EPAs-Audit-Policy-Under-the-Trump-Administration.pdf To view the full Zoom recording of the wfebinar, click here: https://vimeo.com/1129965500/6bac9e3b70?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Episode Overview In this special episode of the Behavioral Observations Podcast, I had the honor of celebrating the 25th installment of the Inside JABA Series. This one was particularly meaningful because it also marks the final appearance of Dr. John Borrero in his role as Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. I invited John to reflect on his three-year tenure—what he learned from reading an enormous volume of manuscripts, how his thinking evolved, and why adapting our language is essential if we want behavior analysis to reach broader audiences. From there, we transitioned into an informative conversation with Dr. Nate Call from Emory University. Nate's recent work focuses on how we can better disseminate applied behavior analysis, not just distribute it. His paper, Scholarship as an Operating Class: Strategies and tactics for increasing dissemination of applied behavior analysis, has already shifted how I think about how our field packages and shares research. In this episode, Nate walked us through actionable strategies for increasing the reach and impact of our work. Key Topics Covered in This Episode 1. John Borrero's Reflections from the Editor's Chair John looked back on his three years as Editor-in-Chief, and I asked him what surprised him most. He talked about: How important clear, accessible language is for dissemination Why behavior analysts must evolve how we communicate without losing our scientific roots Efforts to make JABA papers more accessible through translated articles What it's like to manage a massive editorial workflow and team 2. The Real Difference Between Dissemination and Distribution Nate clarified something that—and I'll admit—I hadn't always thought deeply about: there's a big difference between making your work available and ensuring your work is actually used. Nate described it like: Distribution = scattering seeds Dissemination = preparing the soil so they actually grow He also explained why early-career researchers often focus on distribution out of necessity, and how we can transition to more deliberate dissemination strategies over time. 3. Scholarship as an Operant Class Nate walked me through the framework behind his recent paper. He described scholarly behavior as something shaped by contingencies—just like anything else. We talked about: How individual and systemic consequences shape publishing choices Why some of the most high-impact papers come from individuals rather than large labs Concrete strategies we can use to increase the visibility and influence of our work 4. Boundary Encounters and Second-Generation Innovations I asked Nate about how ideas move between disciplines, and he introduced the concept of boundary encounters. We discussed: Incoming vs. outgoing boundary encounters How second-generation innovations help behavior analysis reach audiences outside our traditional spaces Why these interactions are essential if we want ABA to have a broader societal impact 5. Expanding Our Methodological Toolkit We took a deep dive into methodology and talked about the strengths of single-subject designs—as well as their limitations. Nate made a compelling case for: When behavior analysts should consider Randomized Control Trials, implementation science, or mixed methods Why diversifying methodologies helps us answer questions that matter to educators, policymakers, and grant reviewers What we lose when we rely exclusively on traditional single-subject approaches 6. Participatory Action Research and Social Validity I asked Nate to explain participatory action research, and he shared a powerful example involving first responders and families in crisis situations. He emphasized: The importance of involving stakeholders early How PAR elevates social validity and context Why many federal funders now expect qualitative or participatory components How behavior analysts can begin building these skills, even if it feels unfamiliar 7. Measuring Our Impact More Effectively We also explored how to know whether dissemination is working. Nate and I discussed: Bibliographic network analysis Alt-metric measures The importance of citing intentionally to strengthen high-quality scholarship within the field 8. Nate's Advice for New BCBAs To close the episode, I asked Nate what he'd tell new behavior analysts entering the field. He encouraged them to: Read widely—far beyond behavior-analytic journals Become conversant in different research methods Build collaborations with experts in qualitative, mixed, and implementation-science approaches Think functionally about their own scholarly and professional behavior 9.

When Erica Kuhl joined Salesforce as employee #176, nothing about her role or title suggested she would go on to build one of the most influential customer communities in SaaS history.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!We live in a world that is obsessed with asking, “Why am I like this?” and “Why are they like this?” Trauma, childhood wounds, addiction, nervous systems, attachment. All important pieces of the puzzle. But at some point, just understanding the why stops moving your life forward. It can quietly turn into a hall pass for staying stuck.In this episode, Matt and Paige talk about the missing piece in so many trauma and addiction conversations. The how. How do you start responding differently when your nervous system is wired for survival. How do you stop pouring your pain onto your kids and partner. How do you move from “this is why I am the way I am” to “this is what I am going to do about it.”Together they explore: • Why insight and validation alone do not rebuild a marriage or keep you sober • How too much compassion without boundaries can keep both spouses and addicts in victim mode • Practical ways to create a pause between reaction and response, especially with kids • What it really looks like to break generational patterns, even when it feels unfair and impossible • Why you do not have to fully understand your trauma before you start healing itIf you are tired of overanalyzing, tired of feeling broken, and ready to actually do something different, this conversation will challenge you and remind you that you are not powerless.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

If someone were to make a documentary about your life, what moments would you want them to highlight?  In this heartfelt episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with master storyteller, creative entrepreneur, and Heritage Films founder Chance McClain. With a background as diverse as his documentaries—army veteran, sports radio pioneer, musician, and filmmaker -Chance McClain has crafted more than 800 cinematic documentaries dedicated to preserving family legacies. Together, Nicole Jansen and Chance McClain dive deep into the art of legacy storytelling, the healing power of forgiveness, and why capturing the nuances of real life transforms memory into meaningful heritage. Discover how documenting your life, no matter how imperfect, can serve as a gift to future generations, shape family values, and mark a new chapter for your family's story. What We Discuss in This Episode If a documentary were made about your life, what stories and moments would you want to include? How is Chance McClain's eclectic background helping him capture family legacies? Why do families need to document their stories now, not later, and how do imperfections make stories more valuable? What role does forgiveness play in transforming family histories and breaking negative cycles? What surprises emerge when interviewing family members, and how do vulnerability and authenticity deepen connection? How can any family, regardless of budget, begin documenting stories today? What role does technology and curiosity play in modern storytelling? How do family values and cycles repeat or change—and what choices do we need to make for transformation? What message does Chance McClain want to leave for his children and future generations? Practical resources and first steps for preserving your family's legacy. 10 Key Takeaways for Preserving Your Family's Legacy Your family's stories are not just anecdotes—they're vital carriers of values and lessons for future generations. Imperfection adds authenticity; it's better to record your story now than wait for the "perfect" time. Technology—from phones to AI—makes documenting memories easier than ever. Vulnerability and real moments, eye rolls included, transform documentaries into true heritage. Forgiveness breaks cycles, allowing families to heal and grow in new directions. Every family has hidden struggles; acknowledging them opens doors to deeper connection. Consciously choosing which stories and values to highlight sets new legacy standards. What you say about yourself (busy, tired, "hard") shapes your mindset and actions. Collaboration with loved ones enriches your family film and honors your unique story. Legacy means giving roots and wings: the truth of where you came from and the freedom to chart a new path. Favorite Quotes from Heritage Films Founder, Chance McClain "Forgiveness matters. At some point, you've got to just cut it and forgive."  "It's not just the stories, it's the values you're really capturing."  "If you take out the quirks, you're lying. Keep it real."  "You can break cycles or continue them. It's a decision, and willpower is key."  Episode Show Notes and Resources: https://leadersoftransformation.com/podcast/relationships/547-every-family-has-a-story-the-power-of-heritage-films-with-chance-mcclain Check out our complete library of episodes and other leadership resources here: https://leadersoftransformation.com ________

In Part Two of our two-part series on The Light Chasers, I'm diving deep into the light side of seeking growth, healing, and transformation. While Part One explored the shadow — the hustle, the fixing, the endless pressure to “get it right” — today we flip the script. This episode is all about your gifts, your depth, and your unique brilliance as someone who is hungry for more in life. I talk about the resilience, empathy, wisdom, and intuition that come naturally to light chasers — and how these traits are your superpowers, not burdens. We explore what it means to step fully into your light, without chasing, hustling, or feeling like you're not enough.   You'll hear reflections on: Why your depth, empathy, and intuition are powerful tools for transformation. How your humour, insight, and natural leadership are part of your light. The difference between chasing the light and being the light. Practical steps for staying grounded, present, and anchored in your light even when you feel pressure, doubt, or comparison. How to remember that the lighthouse doesn't run around looking for boats to save — it simply shines. This episode is for the seekers, the old souls, the mentors, the leaders, the dreamers, and anyone who knows they're here to make a bigger impact, and is ready to embody their light fully.   Remember, your light is already within you. This episode is here to remind you of that, and to help you step fully into your brilliance — without force, without shame, just presence and alignment.
