In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I address a common concern among coaching and consulting clients, which is the question of doing enough. I discuss concepts of discernment and defining 'enough' for yourself by creating personal rules that increase confidence and self-trust. By recognizing your body's signals or cues and setting flexible guidelines, you can make decisions that align with your values and capacity while still making progress on your goals.If you liked what you heard, check episode 333 on how to set goals you'll actually keep and episode 96 on three strategies to exceed not just meet your goals. Learn more about my coaching services here and get on the waitlist for my group coaching pods here.Get your free copy of my Grad School Femtoring Resource Kit ⁠here⁠.I'm excited to share a trailer for the Latine ADHD podcast, hosted by Dr. Janice Castro — a Licensed Psychologist creating a warm, inclusive space where cultura and ADHD intersect.

We should all strive to mature in our faith, but what does that look like? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to grow up spiritually and truly live out a transformational faith. He teaches that maturity means being responsible and accountable, and he shares biblical and practical advice on how to develop these traits in our daily lives. Practicing politeness and gratitude can change our thoughts and attitudes to align better with Scripture's definition of growth. Maturity won't exempt us from suffering, but it gives us the strength and skills we need to navigate difficult seasons. Our faith is intended to be transformational—not to get our way, but to be changed from the inside out.

Colter, Cayla, and Lauren explore the roots, costs, and recovery process of people pleasing, highlighting how it often stems from fear of conflict, guilt, or learned conditioning. The hosts discuss the emotional and relational toll—like resentment, burnout, and lack of authentic connection—while also offering practical tools to build awareness, set boundaries, and communicate needs more clearly. Ultimately, they emphasize shifting from guilt-based to values-based decision-making in relationships.

Practicing the Spiritual Gifts | Part 7: Power GiftsThe New Testament names 21 different gifts, which fall into three broad categories—power, word, and love. Though these gifts have sometimes been misunderstood or misused, Scripture presents them as essential for the life of the church. Together we'll explore how God has uniquely gifted each believer to serve the church, to build up the body, and to bless the world.Teaching Text: 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 14:1-6, 39-40Preached by Paul Khochay

A Note from James:Wisdom Takes Work is Ryan Holiday's fourth book exploring the Stoic virtues, and this time he's taking on the big one — wisdom. His earlier books on courage, temperance, and justice were all great conversations, but this one hit me personally. I've often thought I had wisdom, only to realize later that I didn't — or at least not as much as I thought.Ryan's writing blends ancient Stoic philosophy with modern life in a way that feels both practical and timeless. We talked about how wisdom isn't something you possess; it's something you practice. It's not about having all the answers — it's about asking better questions, learning through experience, and staying humble enough to admit what you don't know. Ryan's back on the show — probably more than any other guest — and each time, I walk away seeing the world differently.Episode Description:James sits down with bestselling author and Stoic philosopher Ryan Holiday to discuss Wisdom Takes Work, the newest addition to his series on the cardinal virtues. Together they unpack what “wisdom” really means — not as a static trait, but as an ongoing practice of curiosity, humility, and doing hard things.The conversation ranges from the limits of AI (“great at knowledge, terrible at wisdom”) to the importance of reading history, counting names on a plaque instead of trusting bad data, and learning by doing. Ryan also shares new insights from his upcoming biography of Admiral James Stockdale, and how the act of challenging himself as a writer mirrors the Stoic pursuit of wisdom itself.What You'll Learn:Why wisdom isn't about knowing — it's about learning, questioning, and doing.How AI amplifies knowledge but can't replace human judgment or discernment.Why experience, pain, and humility are necessary ingredients for growth.How Ryan's research on Admiral Stockdale is changing his approach to writing and life.Practical ways to cultivate wisdom — from reading and travel to mentoring and open-mindedness.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction: The difference between knowledge and wisdom [02:54] A Note from James — Why wisdom is the hardest virtue [05:37] AI's limits and the danger of overconfidence [08:57] “Wisdom takes work”: Stoic principles in action [11:35] The verbs of virtue — acting with courage, justice, and discipline [13:12] Ryan's AI experiment and the Naval Academy plaque [16:10] Knowing what you don't know — humility as wisdom [18:30] Parenting, ego, and learning to argue less [22:00] Why age doesn't guarantee wisdom [25:10] The trap of resisting change and staying “the smartest person in the room” [27:00] Adapting to new generations and ideas [31:00] Is wisdom a talent or a learned skill?

Here's a truth most car dealerships don't want to admit: people don't hate buying cars. They hate buying cars from salespeople who make the customer experience painful. That's the challenge Brendan Carlington from Mount Pleasant, Michigan brought to me on a recent episode of Ask Jeb. Brendan jumped back into auto sales this year after spending time in other industries and he noticed something big. Traditional sales positions are disappearing. Customers can research everything online, get quotes instantly, and even start negotiations with a click. What's missing is training that teaches sales pros how to create an experience people actually enjoy. The vehicle isn't the differentiator. The experience is. Why the Experience Matters More Than the Product I told Brendan something I have felt for a long time. Customers already know what they want before they walk into the dealership. They have seen every trim, every feature, every price point. What they do not know is whether they will enjoy the buying process. That is where you, the salesperson, become the product. Your job is not just to sell the car. Your job is to guide your customer through the process, reduce friction, build trust, and make them feel confident that they are making the right decision. When I buy a car, I already know what I want. If the experience is miserable, I put it off. If I know it will be smooth, engaging, and human, I buy immediately. Modern buyers are craving a guide, not a grinder. The Power of Frameworks Brendan had a simple but powerful philosophy. He said there are three conditions to win: sell a car, give the customer a great experience, and make as much money as possible without compromising those things. That mindset is exactly what great sales frameworks are built on. A framework gives you rails to run on while keeping you flexible in the conversation. It is not a script. It is a repeatable system that lets you adapt to the customer while staying disciplined. When you take complex sales processes and make them simple and repeatable, you create reliability and confidence. That principle is at the heart of fanatical prospecting and objection handling. Learning to simplify complex ideas into actionable steps separates average salespeople from top performers. How to Become the Trusted Guide If you are in car sales or any sales role where buyers can research online, here is the playbook: Unpack your customer's fears. They walk in with emotional baggage from past experiences. Acknowledge it. Ask better questions. The more they talk, the better they feel. When the customer does most of the talking, they have a good experience. Create a VIP moment. Buying a car is a milestone, not a transaction. Build a repeatable system. Know your greeting, discovery questions, and closing flow cold and practice it until it is second nature. Using systems that focus on outcomes, such as first-time appointments, conversion rates, and pipeline velocity, makes the difference between a salesperson who spins their wheels and one who consistently drives results. Practicing this every day builds the kind of discipline that leads to consistent performance and customer loyalty. Making It Fun Again Brendan shared something I loved. Before car sales, he worked in the Vegas nightlife industry and he asked, “Why can't buying a car be fun?” That is the kind of thinking that transforms an industry. Fun does not mean loud music or strobe lights. It means energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm. When people enjoy buying from you, they tell everyone they know. If your dealership or team has lost that spark, it is time to rebuild your sales culture. Focus on making the customer experience unforgettable. Strong sales leadership and coaching techniques help teams focus on guiding the buyer through the process instead of just pushing products. Developing those skills consistently pays huge dividends in customer retention and referrals.

Hello friends! In this episode of Mini Miracles from Minor Moments, I reflect on the beauty of being tenderhearted and the wisdom we receive from those who came before us. I share stories of my father — a man full of kindness, creativity, and joy — and how his gentle spirit shaped my outlook on life. Through these memories, I hope to inspire you to cherish compassion, listen deeply, and find purpose in the ordinary moments that surround you. Being tenderhearted is more than an emotion — it's a way of life that brings warmth to relationships and clarity to our spirit. In this episode, I explore how empathy, patience, and communication can transform both our inner lives and the way we connect with others. From memories of family traditions to everyday kindnesses at the grocery store, you'll find encouragement to slow down, listen with your heart, and build stronger, more loving relationships. I also revisit a piece I wrote years ago about being a "street scientist" — someone who learns by observing, listening, and living life with curiosity and openness. Together, we'll discover how small moments of reflection and good communication can help us grow emotionally and spiritually. Key Takeaways The wisdom of parents and mentors continues to shape our hearts long after they're gone. Tenderheartedness means having empathy, compassion, and forgiveness for others — even in small gestures like a smile or kind word. Listening is one of the most powerful tools for building trust and connection. Good communication begins with patience, presence, and genuine curiosity about others. We can learn from everyday experiences — becoming "street scientists" who grow through life's little lessons. Practicing gratitude and acts of kindness can renew our spirit and bring clarity to daily life. Taking time for reflection, prayer, or quiet moments helps us stay centered and open to new beginnings. Reflection Question Who in your life has taught you the most about kindness and communication, and how can you pass that same tenderness to others this week? Simple Action Step Reach out to one person today — maybe a friend, neighbor, or store clerk — and offer a kind word or note of gratitude. It might be the lift they need and a gentle reminder that someone cares. Visit lindagullo.com for more encouragement, coaching opportunities, and previous podcast episodes.

In this message, Deacon Julie Clark reminds us that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. It's not ours to own, but to steward. When we live with open hands, we discover the freedom and joy that come from trusting God as the true source of everything we need.

Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter. Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. As we learned in the tip yesterday, stories can be one of the most powerful tools in a speakers tool belt. However, it's completely possible to make a story hurt your presentation. Even if the story is told well, if it's not at all related or able to be related back to the point of your presentation, it can leave everyone even more confused and uninterested than they would have been without the story. So make sure to go into every story with a clear point and a clear way to connect it back to your general presentation.Show Notes: 101 Public Speaking Tips For Delivering Your Best Speech(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/101-public-speaking-tips-for-delivering-your-best-speech/)

How can we hold both joy and struggle—and still feel grateful? In this episode of Chasing Brighter, hosts Jessica Colarco and Kelly discuss the importance of finding gratitude amidst life's chaos. They explore how gratitude can shift our focus from negativity to appreciation, emphasizing that it doesn't erase pain but rather widens our perspective. The conversation includes personal anecdotes, practical tips for cultivating gratitude, and the significance of embracing both joy and struggle in our lives. The hosts encourage listeners to practice gratitude daily, highlighting its role in emotional flexibility and personal growth.   Inside This Conversation:  Gratitude shifts our focus from what's missing to what's meaningful. Our brains are wired to scan for danger, leading to negativity bias. Gratitude doesn't erase pain; it widens our perspective. Genuine gratitude acknowledges both the good and the hard. Practicing gratitude can lead to biological changes in our brain. Finding gratitude in small moments can help us feel more content. Gratitude is a practice that can be developed over time. It's important to balance gratitude with acknowledging our struggles. Gratitude can be cultivated through simple daily practices. Embracing imperfections allows for growth and grace.   Chapters 00:00 Embracing Gratitude in Chaos 05:07 The Balance of Gratitude and Pain 10:04 Practical Ways to Cultivate Gratitude 15:00 Micro Moments of Gratitude 18:44 Reframing Daily Annoyances 21:00 NEWCHAPTER gratitude, grace, emotional flexibility, positivity, mindfulness, parenting, self-care, mental health, personal growth, resilience Connect With Us:

99% of clients misunderstand learning and practicing. At its essence, you cannot practice McKinsey cases until you learn McKinsey cases. Most candidates start of their case interview preparation by reaching out to colleagues and consultants to practice cases, not having gone through the learning steps. Without a good strategy of separating learning from practicing you will simply absorb what you hear in the practice sessions and none of that is designed to teach you how to do cases. You must separate the learning from the practicing.   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

One of the things I love about teaching is that we can draw on many disciplines to make our work better—art, psychology, learning theories, and even neuroscience. Recently, I've been reading about what brain research can tell us about practicing and how we learn, and it's fascinating.Welcome back to our 2-part series on practicing.In part 1, we talked about the art of practicing. I shared what I'm learning from Madeline Bruser's book, The Art of Practicing, and how I'm carrying these concepts and strategies into my practice sessions and studio.In this episode, part 2, we'll explore Molly Gebrian's book, Learn Faster, Perform Better. This book is all about the neuroscience of practicing: how we learn, process, and retain information. If you've been reading along with us in the Musician & Co. Book Club, you likely have some insights of your own, but I wanted to share what stood out to me and how it's impacting my practicing and my teaching.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.

November is often a time for giving thanks, and the 4th Yama, Brahmacharya, encourages us to be grateful for having “just enough,” and to practice “nonexcess.” We live in a world that can rob us of our time, money, and energy while we pursue better and newer and more. Brahmacharya asks us to examine our priorities and to focus on what really matters.Are we living in communion with God? Are we sacrificing our precious time and energy in pursuit of worldly excess? Do we recognize when we have “just enough” and refrain from overindulgence?Brahmacharya seems like the perfect Yama to practice in November. Let's practice nonexcess in our daily lives. Let's practice gratitude for all that we have rather than focusing on our have-nots. Let's strive to see the divine in all people and moments. Let's do more with less.Show Notes:Denise's meditation at the end of the episode:May you rest in the space of ‘good enough.' You are good. You are enough. You are sufficient in this moment, just as you are. You deserve goodness and kindness and hope and help.” ‘Head to the floor, I breathe in and out, thankful for my breath and my body and gravity. Earth herself. Through this, I reveal the blessings. There are always some, sometimes many! Each day a new world to make what is possible real and fully embodied. I awaken awareness of my own influence to create kindness, depth, and love in every moment.”  “Grant me daily the grace of gratitude. To be thankful for all my many gifts, and so be freed from artificial needs, that I might lead a joyful, simple life.” Edward Hays, OSBThe Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele

In this message, Pastor Jordan teaches that we live in a world that tells us to get more, keep more, and protect what's ours. But Jesus invites us into a better way, a life of open-handed generosity that leads to true joy.

After nearly two years away from the Stoic world, author and researcher Kai Whiting returns to share—candidly—what happened: sudden metabolic illness, becoming a father, career upheaval, a public rift, and rebuilding meaning from first principles. We talk attachment, grief, diet experiments, masculinity, work identity, and how to live the virtues when theory isn't enough.In this episode:Breaking the silence: why Kai disappeared (02:00)Severe health spiral, hospitalizations, and discovering diabetes (03:30)Losing the bodybuilding identity—and the grief that follows (12:35)Food, mood, and mitochondria: one person's n=1 (18:30) (not medical advice)Stoicism vs. “pure abstraction”: why bodies and sports matter (24:30)On Peterson, bricklaying, and zooming out to purpose (53:20)Leaving academia, starting over in sales, and serving the beehive (49:00, 54:40)Rebuilding a professional identity without losing your soul (1:04:50)Key ideas & takeawaysGrief is Stoic: when you lose an identity (athlete, academic, whatever), you grieve first—then choose your next courageous action.Meet yourself where you are: programs (training or life) must fit your current capacity, not your past PRs or future fantasies.Bodies matter: movement can be a pressure-release valve while the “heat source” (deeper causes) is addressed.Serve the beehive: tie daily tasks to a larger vision; energy savings at a school becomes trees planted and kids learning.Change your mind in public: integrity > consistency; update beliefs when evidence (or life) demands it.ConnectGuest: Kai Whiting — best reached via LinkedIn for sustainability/energy efficiency conversations.Host: Brandon Tumblin — Strong Stoic Podcast, Substack, and socials.Disclaimer: This episode includes one person's health and nutrition experiences and is not medical advice.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 28 - Conversion, not Contemplation, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We examine Comer's claim that we can be transformed through contemplation. Comer misuses key verses in Ephesians to do this. We must believe what God has chosen to reveal in Scripture and reject mystical contemplation through which we supposedly see God.
