Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion meets with the media to discuss what he's seen from Jalen Hurts and his offense during the first week of the team's training camp. Presented by Ashley, America's number one furniture and mattress store.

The New Age movement is more popular than ever. Practices like tarot cards, crystals, manifestation, astrology, energy healing, and spirit guides are often presented as harmless tools for personal growth. But what does the Bible say? In this episode, I sit down with Jac Marino Chen, author of Ensnared: Overcoming the Darkness of the New Age and Occult with the Light of God's Truth, to hear her powerful testimony of how Jesus rescued her from a life immersed in the occult, ritual magick, addiction, and spiritual deception. Jac's explanation of the gospel was so powerful it brought tears to my eyes. I know you'll walk away from this conversation encouraged and reminded that while the occult is real and spiritually dangerous, it is no match for the saving power of Jesus Christ. No one is beyond His reach. God is still breaking through the darkness, setting captives free, and transforming lives by His grace.

In this episode of the Stress-Free Dentist Podcast, Dr. Eric Block sits down with Michael Strohecker — co-founder and Chief Growth Officer of LuxCreo, the 3D printing company he started in his Palo Alto garage. Michael is a mechanical engineer and materials scientist by training who spent his early career at McDonnell Douglas on a NASA blended-wing program and then nearly a decade at Space Systems Loral building satellites, including work on Sirius Radio and the XM recovery effort. He has been 3D printing since 1995. When investors from Kleiner Perkins — the original backers of Invisalign — brought him in to evaluate nanotechnology and materials science coming out of Georgia Tech, he saw a real chance to solve problems in dentistry rather than build another me-too printer. The conversation centers on why hardware alone never solved anything. Accepting a "best 3D printer" award, Michael asked the organizers to delete the category — his single slide read: it takes more than a printer. LuxCreo controls the end-to-end process from materials and hardware through post-processing, CAD/CAM, and one-click print software, and every new hire, dental background or not, has to scan, design, print, and finish an aligner in under three hours. As he puts it, tinkering is a four-letter word. That obsession with repeatability is what makes direct-print aligners and retainers — LuxCreo was first to FDA clearance — practical inside a general practice rather than a science project. Michael and Dr. Block get into what this actually changes chairside: the "Goldilocks technique" of printing comfort, medium, and tight versions of a splint for about $15 total and letting the patient choose, which drives compliance and referrals; same-visit aligner starts during a hygiene appointment; partial-sale case acceptance that doesn't add another chair visit; and material with active memory that returns to shape in hot water. They also riff on Dr. Block's own concept — ROF, return on fun — which Michael now preaches to his 200-person company. He closes with advice for students and young dentists: roll up your sleeves and learn the digital workflows, because without digital you'll be stuck in the past.

What if the problem isn't your marketing, but what happens after the lead comes in? Too many dental practices spend thousands on ads only to watch potential patients disappear because of slow follow-up, poor communication, and broken systems.  Dr. Len Tau welcomes Tim Hines, President of Briteline Dental, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing dental practices today: converting high-value treatment leads into scheduled patients. Tim shares how his team helps practices improve lead response times, nurture prospective patients, and build trust through human-first communication. Throughout the conversation, they explore why many practices mistakenly blame their marketing agencies when the real issue lies in lead management and follow-up systems. Tim explains the importance of speed-to-lead, multiple touchpoints, and conversational selling, especially for patients considering treatments like implants, full-arch restorations, and cosmetic dentistry. They also discuss the role of AI in dentistry, the impact of financing conversations, and how practices can avoid wasting valuable chair time on unqualified leads. If you've ever wondered why your marketing isn't producing the ROI you expect, this episode offers practical strategies you can implement immediately. What You'll Learn Why most dental practices have a lead management problem, not a marketing problem. The importance of speed-to-lead and consistent follow-up. How conversational selling increases treatment acceptance. Where AI fits into patient communication and where human connection still wins. How to qualify patients without making financing the focus. Ways to improve conversion rates for implants, full-arch cases, and cosmetic dentistry. How practices can avoid wasting valuable chair time on unqualified patients.

Can simple, evidence-based video decision aids—paired with structured clinician training—improve Advance Care Planning (ACP) documentation and goal-concordant care? That's the question we pose in this week's podcast with Dr. Joshua Lakin and Dr. Kei Ouchi. We break down the methodologies behind two major clinical trials in which they were involved that implemented this video-enhanced approach. The first study, published in JGIM, was a multicenter, parallel randomized trial of 598 seriously ill older adults in emergency departments (EDs). It tested whether watching a 5-minute video and having a short, 10-minute structured clinical conversation during acute ED visits could establish longitudinal care preferences. The researchers found that this intervention not only increased ACP documentation at 3 months (45.6% vs. 31.3%), but also significantly increased goal-concordant care in a subset of study participants who died in the hospital. The second study, published in JAMA Network Open, was a multicenter, stepped-wedge trial involving 13,800 older adults with advanced cancer across 29 outpatient oncology clinics. Practices in the trial received patient video tools and VitalTalk clinician training. The bundled intervention led to a statistically significant increase in electronic health record (EHR) ACP documentation (25.3% vs. 20.8% with usual care). Both studies provide strong evidence that combining video-enhanced ACP with clinician training improves documentation of these discussions. What I loved most, though, is that the JGIM paper offers some of the first evidence that combining these approaches directly helps patients receive care aligned with their true values.  

Karma, yoga, angel numbers, “good vibes,” manifesting, crystals, and “the universe” are everywhere in our culture, but are these New Age practices compatible with following Jesus, or are they quietly reshaping the church? In this episode of Rethink Revive, David Leake and Jordan Kolarik unpack the dangers of syncretism, how Hindu and New Age ideas slip into Christian language, and how to biblically “test the spirits.” If you've ever wondered whether things like karma, yoga, energy, frequencies, and manifestation are harmless or spiritually harmful, this conversation will help you discern what leads to freedom in Christ and what leads to deception.

Matt shares his 11-year orthodontic industry background and explains how DentalMonitoring improves the patient experience by increasing weekly communication while reducing unnecessary in-office “check” visits, giving time back to patients, teams, and doctors. They discuss why implementing remote monitoring early can help startups build better systems, reduce space and staffing needs, and maintain lower overhead while growing revenue. For established practices, they address common fears around adopting new technology, emphasizing phased rollout, actionable AI-driven alerts, and reallocating recovered chair time toward clinically necessary visits and practice growth. Matt highlights DentalMonitoring's AI capabilities, FDA validation, Smart STL, and future workflow-streamlining possibilities. Connect With Our Guest DentalMonitoring - https://dentalmonitoring.com/ Takeaways Remote monitoring boosts engagement with more frequent check-ins and fewer in-office visits.Practices are shrinking space while increasing revenue with the same staff/chairs.Remote monitoring frees up chair time for other tasks like marketing and new patients.Startups should adopt remote monitoring from day one.Established practices should expect ~3-6 months of transition when adopting remote monitoring.DentalMonitoring's AI handles diagnostics, letting practices still control patient messaging.AI won't replace orthodontists, but those who use well will outcompete those who don't.Reallocating chair time reduces after-hours “homework” and improves work-life balance.AI-driven workflow will continue to expand.Chapters 00:00 Introduction04:35 Why Remote Monitoring Matters11:01 Building Startups with DM14:11 Scaling Lean Practices17:24 Time Back and Burnout19:40 Adopting Tech in Big Practices21:37 Reallocating Time and ROI23:09 Virtual Patient Touchpoints27:15 AI Myths And Reality31:34 Lifestyle And Future Teams33:15 AI Predictions Ahead36:03 How To Contact Matt & DentalMonitoring Episode Credits:  Hosted by Jill AllenProduced by Jordann KillionAudio Engineering by Garrett LuceroAre you ready to start a practice of your own?

Referrals don't happen by accident. They're cultivated through consistent conversations, intentional systems, and genuine community connections. Dr. Lona and Dr. Rachel Hovey discuss why referral growth is still one of the most underutilized and effective practice-building strategies, despite the attention given to newer marketing tactics. They share practical systems for cultivating patient referrals, building meaningful community partnerships, training teams to recognize referral opportunities, and creating consistent follow-up processes that keep practices visible and top of mind. Rather than treating referrals as something that simply happens, this episode encourages practice owners to intentionally build a referral culture that extends from the adjusting table into the community, creating sustainable growth rooted in trust and genuine relationships.   Key Highlights 01:29 – Discover why relationships still create stronger long-term practice growth than the latest marketing trends. 02:23 – Learn to spot the everyday patient comments that can become real referral opportunities. 04:23 – A more natural approach to networking that removes the pressure to promote yourself. 06:11 – Inside Dr. Rachel's simple system for keeping community connections organized and active. 07:30 – Defining your ideal patient can point you toward better networking opportunities. 09:15 – Strong referral partnerships often begin long before anyone exchanges a referral. 11:13 – See how the right local partnerships can make your practice a trusted community resource. 13:07 – Simple ways to thank referral partners and strengthen those relationships over time. 15:33 – Reframing the referral conversation so it feels helpful rather than uncomfortable. 17:40 – Table talk, whiteboards, and repeated education may be quietly driving your best referrals. 19:23 – Three practical steps for strengthening referral systems inside the practice and throughout the community. 20:29 - Adding the right service can improve patient care while strengthening your practice.

Gregory Copley reports the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on Australia, alleging "forced labor" practices—a claim Copley describes as spurious. This move antagonizes a loyal ally that has fought alongside the US for over a century. Consequently, Australia and Canada are beginning to lessen their strategic dependence on the US. Copley warns that such unilateral protectionism could weaken the long-term structure of the Western alliance. (9)1971 IRAN

Generosity can begin with a simple gift, but when it becomes a family rhythm, its impact can last for generations. Most parents want their children to grow into generous adults—people who see what God has entrusted to them as something to be stewarded for His purposes and the good of others. But generosity rarely develops by accident. It is cultivated over time through example, experience, and intentional practice. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors and Co-Founder of Women Doing Well, joins the show today to encourage families to begin teaching generosity early and continue nurturing it through every stage of life.  The goal is not simply to raise children who give money, but to help them discover the joy of living generously with everything God has provided. Start by Modeling Generosity Young children may not understand much about money yet, but they are always watching. That makes the early years an ideal time to model generosity through simple, tangible experiences. Parents might take their children grocery shopping for items to donate to a local food pantry, allowing them to choose the food and deliver it. The lesson is simple: We have something we can share, and together, we can use it to help someone else. Families can also find creative ways to connect generosity with celebrations. Sharon suggests hosting a “reverse birthday party,” where guests bring items for a ministry or charity the child helps select. Another simple practice is keeping blank cards nearby so children can draw pictures or write encouraging notes for someone who may be lonely, sick, or going through a difficult season. None of these activities requires a child to understand complex financial concepts. They simply allow children to see generosity in action. Give Children Hands-On Opportunities to Serve As children grow, parents can begin inviting them into more direct experiences of giving. One powerful approach is volunteering together at a local ministry, especially an organization serving other children or families. Serving side by side allows generosity to become something children experience personally rather than merely hear about. Families might also consider sponsoring a child through a trusted ministry. Sharon shared how her own daughter began sponsoring a child at age five and continued that relationship as they both grew older. Experiences like these can help children recognize that generosity is relational. It is not simply about transferring money from one place to another. It is about seeing people, caring about their needs, and responding with compassion. Connect Generosity to a Teenager's Passions As children enter their teenage years, their interests and passions become clearer. That creates an opportunity to help them connect generosity with the things they already care about. A teenager who loves the outdoors, for example, might become interested in supporting a Christian camp ministry. A young person passionate about sports might enjoy serving through an organization that uses athletics to mentor children. Families can also make service part of their normal rhythms. Spring break or other holidays, for instance, can include opportunities to serve together. Sharon shared that her children participated in spring break mission trips while growing up. Those experiences became so meaningful that they continued serving during college because generosity had simply become part of what their family did. That is one of the most powerful lessons parents can pass along: Generosity is not an occasional project. It can become part of the way we live. Let Generosity Involve Sacrifice Biblical generosity often involves more than giving from what is left over. Sometimes it requires choosing to give something up so that someone else can benefit. Teenagers are old enough to begin experiencing that kind of sacrifice intentionally. One creative idea is a “pantry challenge,” where a family spends a period of time eating primarily what is already in the house while limiting grocery purchases. The money saved could then be given toward a ministry or someone in need. Practices like this help young people understand that generosity involves choices. We may choose to spend less so we can give more. We may give up some of our time to serve. We may share our skills, possessions, or opportunities with someone else. Sacrifice helps generosity move from an abstract idea to a lived experience. Encourage Generosity Into Adulthood Parents can continue encouraging generosity even after their children become adults, but their role begins to change. Rather than directing their children's giving, parents can create opportunities for them to make their own decisions. One option Sharon suggests is helping an adult child establish a donor-advised fund. Parents might provide an initial amount and even offer to match what their child contributes toward charitable giving. The purpose is not simply to create another financial account. It is to encourage intentionality. What causes do they care about? Where do they see God at work? How might the resources entrusted to them become part of that work? Questions like these help adult children develop their own convictions about generosity and stewardship. Expand Your Family's Definition of Giving Perhaps one of the most important lessons families can learn is that generosity is about far more than money. We can give our time. We can offer our skills. We can share our relationships, possessions, influence, and opportunities. This broader understanding allows generosity to become what Sharon describes as “whole-life, purpose-filled generosity.” And that means every member of the family has something to give. A young child can draw an encouraging picture. A teenager can spend a Saturday serving. An adult can use financial resources, professional skills, or relationships to help others. Generosity begins by asking a simple question: What has God entrusted to me that I can use for the good of someone else? Generosity Is Often Caught More Than Taught Parents can certainly talk with their children about giving, but some of the most powerful lessons will come from what children see practiced consistently at home. When they watch their parents give joyfully, serve willingly, and hold their resources with open hands, they begin to understand that generosity is not merely something Christians do. It is part of who we are becoming as faithful stewards. And when families practice generosity together—from childhood through adulthood—they plant seeds that may continue bearing fruit long after the original gift has been given. A generous family legacy is ultimately about more than what we leave to the next generation. It is about helping prepare the next generation to faithfully steward whatever God places in their hands.

In this episode of The Golden Age of Orthodontics, Dr. Leon Klempner and Amy Epstein sit down with board-certified orthodontist, inventor and entrepreneur Dr. Marc Lemchen to explore how robotics can improve efficiency, support orthodontic teams and create a more memorable patient experience. Drawing on more than five decades in orthodontics, Dr. Lemchen shares the thinking behind innovations such as Dolphin Imaging, EasyRx and Zeno Robotics, along with the lessons he has learned about introducing new technology into a practice.The conversation also examines the role robotics can play in addressing staffing challenges, reducing repetitive work and giving team members more time to focus on patients. Dr. Lemchen discusses Zeno Steril, the robotic sterilization system recognized with the 2026 AAO Ortho Innovator Award, and explains why the most valuable technology is not simply impressive to look at, but meaningfully improves consistency, workflow and the overall patient experience.Five takeawaysTechnology can help an orthodontic practice stand out by giving patients a memorable experience they are more likely to discuss and share.Robotics can reduce the time team members spend walking, retrieving items and completing repetitive tasks, allowing them to stay focused on patient care.Automated sterilization may improve workflow consistency, documentation and reliability while reducing dependence on manual processes.Practices are more likely to see meaningful efficiency gains when they fully adopt a technology rather than using it selectively.The strongest return on technology comes from combining measurable workflow improvements with a better, more personal patient experience.Supercharge your orthodontic marketing: www.pplpractice.com

You memorized anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and thousands upon thousands of facts. During residency, you learned to make decisions quickly and confidently. Patients expected answers. Attendings expected competence. Your colleagues depended on you. And let's be honest—there were moments when lives truly depended on your knowledge and your ability to make the right decision under pressure.That mindset is not only understandable—it's essential. It helps make you an outstanding physician. But here's the problem. Many physicians unknowingly carry that same mindset into running their practices, leading their organizations, and making business decisions. And that's where the trouble begins.Today's episode is about three simple words that may be the most powerful words you'll ever say as a physician leader: "I don't know." Those three words are not a sign of weakness. They're a sign of wisdom. They're the beginning of learning. They're the beginning of better leadership. And they may be the key to building a stronger, healthier, and more profitable practice.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

How much of your practice's production can you actually count on as collectible revenue? The gap between gross production and net production can obscure profitability, distort financial decisions, and lead dentists to work harder without improving cash flow. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Metric Monday co-host and ACT Dental coach Miranda Beeson explain how gross production reflects clinical activity while net production reflects the financial reality of the practice. You will learn how to calculate your adjustment percentage, identify where production is being reduced, and use accurate data to make better decisions about providers, operatories, insurance participation, and growth—listen to Episode 1078 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production reflects the services and clinical activity completed by the team.Net production represents the amount the practice can potentially collect after adjustments.Practices must bill their full fees to accurately measure gross production and adjustment activity.Decisions about adding providers, operatories, patients, or locations should not be based on gross production alone.Adjustment categories should be specific enough to distinguish PPO adjustments, membership plan adjustments, professional courtesies, and other discounts.The adjustment percentage is calculated by dividing total adjustments by gross production.Reviewing gross production, adjustments, and net production together provides a clearer picture of profitability and collectible revenue.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:13 Gross production and net production explained04:07 Why the gap between the two metrics matters.05:45 How gross production can lead to poor growth decisions.08:14 Reframing write-offs as discounts.11:36 How practices use both metrics correctly.14:08 Working smarter vs working harder15:51 How to calculate and evaluate the adjustment percentage.18:57 Improving adjustment tracking and reporting.19:53 Wrap upGuest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Katherine Eitel Belt, dentistry's unscripted leadership communications coach, live from Thrive Live 2026 in Las Vegas. Katherine shares her journey from chairside dental assistant to global authority on leadership communication, including the pivotal moment that shaped her approach to helping leaders raise standards with clarity, courage, and compassion. She breaks down her framework for the three essential leadership conversations: invitation conversations, coaching conversations, and courageous conversations.   Katherine also explains how practice owners and managers can address accountability without fear, inspire team members into higher standards, and create a culture where people choose growth rather than simply comply. The conversation also highlights her upcoming book, Lead Yourself, Lead Your Team, and why strong leadership begins with self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a willingness to own your role first.

Most practices assume that selling more glasses means making more money. But what if that is not always true? In this week's episode of Power Hour, host Eugene Shatsman sits down with Dr. Lacy Crissup (Co-Owner of Claremore Eye Associates), Dr. Trinae Rosato (Owner of Rosato Family Eyecare LLC) and Dr. Brian Abert (Founder of Vista Eye Care and Member of the AOA & COA), to discuss what happened when each of their practices took a deeper look at their optical performance. Their practices are different in size, market, and stage of growth. But each of them recently went through a retail optimization initiative focused on frame profitability, board space, pricing strategy, managed care reimbursement, team training, and optical performance. And what they found was hard to ignore.

What if dying is actually a skill? And what if most of us are completely unprepared for the one experience that is absolutely guaranteed to happen? This week we sit down with Darnella Ford, award-winning author, trauma facilitator, and restorative guide, whose twenty-year journey into the non-physical began not with a spiritual calling, but with a breakup, a depression she couldn't shake, and a night of breathwork that sent her flying through a black void at incalculable speed. What followed changed everything she thought she knew about life, death, consciousness, and what is waiting on the other side of that final breath. In this episode we explore:Why dying requires a specific kind of surrender, and why practicing it while you're still alive might be the most important thing you ever doWhat actually happens to your consciousness the moment you leave your bodyWhether your deceased loved ones are still around, still aware, and what they are doing right nowWhy the death experience is completely customized to your own belief systemHow the life review works, and why it dissolves the illusion of separation once and for allWhy the question isn't how to get out of the body, but how to actually be in itThe one thing Darnella wants you to do tomorrow morning before you reach for your phonePlus, Darnella shares the devastating personal loss that became the beating heart of her latest book, and the question she spent four years answering because of it.

Confession time. I was the kid with the "I am me, I'm ok" poster taped up in my room. I was desperate to feel confident and ok, and yeah, it's embarrassing, but it helped. My mom, who was a lot like Stuart Smalley (if you remember that SNL skit, the guy who looks in the mirror and reminds himself he's good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, worthy), encouraged me to hang it up after a devastating seventh grade experience. My own personal Mean Girls encounter. I had just started at a new junior high, and it felt like every rule of friendship and belonging got flipped upside down overnight. Everyone I was friends with landed on the red team. I got placed on purple. I was shocked by how brutal girls I once called my besties could be. And while I found new friends eventually, something else took root first. A belief that I needed to change. That I needed to fix myself. That belief followed me for years. It played out in my first marriage, until I had a shocking awareness and awakening. There was never anything wrong with me. There was only the belief that I wasn't cool enough, smart enough, pretty enough, whatever word fits for you. This week's episode is all about that exact fallacy, the idea that you need to fix yourself.  My guest Leonard Jacobson has had nine awakenings, and what he shares about presence and the truth of who you are is something I wish my 13 year old self could've heard..  I hope this one helps you remember there's nothing in you to fix. Ever. Friend, you are good enough, smart enough, and worthy of everything you desire. You always were. Period. Bio Leonard Jacobson is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation. For more than four decades, he has taught a practical path of awakening based on Presence, self-awareness, and conscious living. Since his first awakening in 1981, Leonard has shared his teachings with thousands of people around the world through retreats, workshops, books, and online programs. He is the author of seven books, including Words from Silence, Embracing the Present, Bridging Heaven & Earth, Liberating Jesus, Life Beyond the Ego, and In Seach of the Light, a children's picture book. His books have been translated into numerous languages.   Key Topics Leonard Jacobson's awakening journey The nature of God and oneness Practices for awakening and presence The role of the ego in spiritual growth Revealing the truth about Jesus and Christ consciousness The importance of responsibility and self-awareness in awakening   About Leonard Jacobson Leonard Jacobson is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Stephanie Rousselle welcomes returning guests Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock for a reflective and practical exploration of what it means to delight in God—especially in the ordinary and difficult seasons of life.Delighting in God is a daily discipline rooted in noticing, gratitude, humility, and relational engagement. Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock illustrate that wonder and joy can be found at “the molecular level” of life, as we learn to see reality with the eyes of heaven.Cultivating delight in God starts with intentional attention—slowing down to observe and appreciate even the small gifts in daily life. Andi Ashworth describes how, after a busy season promoting their book, she cultivated a new practice: sitting quietly in her small perennial garden, reading Scripture, praying, and simply noticing the details of creation—birdsong, blooming flowers, the work of bees. Over time, this intentional noticing awakened deeper gratitude and joy in the presence of God, even as life's hardships persisted.Delight is a daily practice, a choice to “step into reality” and seek God's presence even in suffering. This deliberate practice transforms pain into moments of worship and gratitude. Charlie Peacock shares that delight in God is not dependent on favorable circumstances or feelings of happiness. Suffering—including his chronic headache of nearly ten years—taught him to seek and experience God's presence regardless of pain. He emphasizes that true delight must be able to exist within difficulty, or it is not truly delight.Intimacy and delight with God are relational and participatory. God invites us to pursue Him, and as we do, He meets us. Sometimes we wait passively for God to manifest delight, and other times we strive to create it in our own strength. In reality, pursuing delight is a “dance”—God initiates and leads, but we must actively respond and show up, especially when delight seems elusive.Hardships, while unwelcome, often become ministers of grace, rooting us in humility and expanding our capacity for love and presence. Through chronic pain and other challenges, both Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock have experienced God's grace and a deepening humility. Charlie Peacock notes how his “thorn” limits self-reliance and ambition, drawing him toward greater dependence on Christ and shaping him into Christ's likeness. Andi Ashworth observes that their limitations have expanded their hearts and increased their compassion for others.Never outgrow asking your good Father for small joys. Delight in God blossoms in those who cultivate grateful, attentive hearts. Both guests encourage maintaining childlike wonder and gratitude—even for small blessings like a hot shower, a well-timed parking space, or serendipitous tickets to an event. These moments, prayed for and received as gifts, reinforce God's goodness and nearness.Practices to Foster DelightStart each day with gratitude for basic abilities and provisions.Notice small joys—in nature, family, daily routines—and thank God specifically.Pray about “matters of mutual concern”: what matters to God, matters to us.Accept and embrace limitations as invitations to deeper dependence and presence.Reflection question: What small gift might God be inviting you to notice—and delight in—today? MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

It was posted in the locker room. He said it every day. I still think about it all the time. There is no hack. There is no one thing. At many keynote Q&As, someone asks me for a quick fix. The only answer is the power of compounding. Consistency, dependability, and reliability are the least sexy words of all time. And they're the whole game. Take your work seriously. Don't take yourself seriously. The best leaders go hard at the work but laugh at themselves. It's important to be able to laugh with your team. Optionality is overrated.  "I'm trying to beef up my obituary. I'm not going to dabble." - Ed Latimore (Ep. 648) Live like a hawk. Hawks have eyesight eight times better than humans. They glide and observe constantly. But once they see what they want, they commit with everything they have. Be a professional noticer. Then commit fully. Talk to your people before big decisions. My dad. Miranda. And the wide network of high-caliber people I've built over 700 podcast episodes. Be specific. Off the record. Long conversations. Then trust your gut. Take bits and pieces from the best. Then find your own voice. As a brand new sales rep at LexisNexis, Rex Caswell had me interview and sit with the ten best reps in the company. I took a piece from each, mashed it together with my own personality, and eventually found my own voice. I still use that formula today. Use social media to create in-person moments. Organize dinners, meetups, coffees. Get in the room with people. Concert ticket prices and The World Cup tell you everything you need to know about how much people are craving in-person connection right now. Don't outsource your thinking to AI. You can't walk into the weight room, look around, and expect to build muscle. You have to move the weights. Use AI as a tool. Don't let it do the thinking for you. Your job is to add value to other people's lives. Coach Hoeppner sat 19-year-old me down with the other quarterback and pointed at both of us: "He adds more value to our team than you do. He gives us a better chance to win. That's why he's going to play." It was brutal. It was a very lucky moment for me to experience that in my formative years. I fell into the AI trap. The Be a Pro section originally started as a LinkedIn post that was heavily influenced by Claude. It went well on Twitter too. People DM'd me praising it. It felt great. And it scared me. I was getting the rewards without doing the work. The good old days are right now. I try to work hard when my family is asleep or at school. Between those hours, I go as hard as I can. Outside those hours, I try not to work too much. I've talked with so many dads who are older now, and their kids are out of the house. They miss the time when they were with their kids so much. I try to think of that daily. Making positive dents in the world. Leave people, places, and things better than you found them.  That's how you make a positive dent, one person at a time. My philosophy on keynotes and writing: story, science, and practical application. Great storytelling to move people to the edge of their seat. Empirical evidence to make it true. Practical application to answer, "So what? Why should I care?" You have to have all 3. Our edge in coaching leadership teams: my coaches actively live what they teach. They didn't attend a seminar and get certified. They're still active coaches themselves, still leading teams in real time. That's what separates authentic teaching from performance. Push your edges. Find your Goldilocks zone. James Clear told me you don't get better at tennis by playing Roger Federer. He'll destroy you. But you also don't get better by playing a five-year-old. You need to be uncomfortable, but not so uncomfortable that you break. Shane Gillis walked off stage looking exhausted. Dan saw him live in Cincinnati. On stage, effortless. The second he stepped behind the curtain, his shoulders slumped like he was ready to fall asleep. That's what the great ones do. They make it look easy because of the price they paid to get there. My productive paranoia. Our team has to earn it every session. It creates a productive paranoia knowing that continuous improvement is necessary. The reward is bigger than the cost. It's the greatest gig in the world. I bet on myself and the team every single day because if we keep adding value, I like our chances. Reflection Questions Where are you dabbling right now?
