If you've been watching the news and feeling despair because you can't do anything about it, this episode is for you.The Epstein files, revealing how powerful men think about, talk about, and treat women. ICE raids tearing families apart. Strikes on Iranian cities - and schools full of children!In this episode, I make a direct connection between these social issues and what happens inside our homes every day. The patterns playing out on a global scale - where the person with more power decides whose feelings count - show up in our families too, often in moments we don't even notice, and that seem like they're about discipline. The decisions we make in those moments are quietly teaching our kids lessons we may not intend to pass on. Questions this episode will answerWhat do ICE raids have to do with parenting? When children watch some families live in fear of being separated while others are basically safe by default, they learn that some people's safety matters more than others. That same lesson can show up at home when we use our power as parents to override our kids' feelings and needs. Why is it important to teach kids about consent? Research shows that girls start shifting from seeing their body as something that helps them do things to seeing it as something to be judged - often earlier than we realize. Teaching consent starts long before those conversations about sex. It starts when we stop forcing our children to accept hugs and give kisses they don't want from well-meaning relatives. How do you explain consent to children? Consent is about whose body, feelings, and needs matter most. When we override our child's no - even in small everyday moments - we teach them that the person with more power wins. This episode explores what it looks like to do things differently. How do the Iran strikes connect to how we raise our kids? When leaders frame bombing cities where children live as "protecting freedom", they're using the same logic many of us heard growing up: that hurting someone with less power is justified when the person with more power decides it's for a good reason. This episode traces that logic from foreign policy all the way back to the family dinner table. What does it mean that we're all part of the system - not just the people doing obvious harm? It's easy to point to the person at the center causing the most visible damage. But around that person are rings of people who actively enable them, then people who know and look away, and then the rest of us - making decisions every day in our families and communities that make it more or less likely that people with power can keep using it. This episode explains what that outermost ring looks like in ordinary family life, and what it means to resist it from there. What you'll learn in this episodeWhy the same power dynamics driving ICE raids, the Epstein files, and the Iran strikes also show up in everyday parenting momentsHow the language our leaders use about migrants, women, and foreign countries shapes what our kids quietly absorb about whose lives matterWhat research tells us about how girls experience the shift from body ownership to body judgment - and what parents can do to slow that shift downWhy the parents who explode when their kids say no are often people who were never allowed to say no themselvesHow using power to manage our kids' behavior in stressful moments teaches the same lesson as the biggest injustices in the news - just on a smaller scaleWhat it looks like to build a home where your child's feelings and needs count - even when you're overwhelmed Taming Your TriggersIf you recognized yourself anywhere in this episode - if you know that when the poop hits the fan you fall back on power because you don't know what else to do - that's exactly what we work on in my Taming Your Triggers workshop. In the workshop, we go deep on why you get triggered, what you actually need in those moments, and how to build a different response from the inside out - so you're not just white-knuckling it through the hard moments anymore.And we've made it more accessible.

The room lifted before the first chord. Athens came alive with a storyteller's spark, a stripped-down trio threading classics and new cuts, and two supercharged nights honoring R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant that turned a tribute into living history. We walked in as fans and left feeling like part of a scene that refuses to fade.We start with Jason Narducy weaving road stories from Mostly The Van between raw, punchy songs, including a punk blast from his first band and a brush with the Grohl family tree. Then Kevin Kinney and Peter Buck lock in with Scott McCaughey, Elizabeth Cook steps up on guitar and harmonies, and a Todd Snider salute lands with real weight. Five musicians shoulder to shoulder on a tiny stage close the night in a hush you can feel. The next evening, Bobcat Goldthwait cracks wise with self-deprecating gems, Michael Shannon and Narducy run Pageant front to back at the 40 Watt, where Hyena bites, I Believe glows, and Underneath The Bunker turns seismic when Bill Berry sits in. The crowd knows every word. The band knows exactly why they're here.Peter Buck joins for South Central Rain and Sitting Still; Radio Free Europe detonates with McCaughey; Star 69 brings the Monster snarl. Shannon's sister adds cello to Nightswimming, Linda Hopper honors Lynn Blakey, and Vanessa Briscoe Hay snaps the line to Pylon. We trace roots to Wuxtry Records at 50, the longest-running record store in Georgia and the place where Michael Stipe met Peter Buck. Along the way we unpack cover-song surprises like Superman, revisit California Dreamin's Barry McGuire take, and relive earworms from Garbage's Only Happy When It Rains to the family rituals that music quietly builds.If you love R.E.M., Athens indie rock, record store lore, and the electricity of a room singing in unison, this ride will hit you in the chest.

You cannot improve what you refuse to accept. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down the uncomfortable starting point of real self-improvement. Everyone wants growth, confidence, and better results, but far fewer people are willing to face the honest truths that make those outcomes possible. This conversation explores why self-awareness and acceptance sit at the foundation of personal development, leadership, and long-term progress.When the ego protects comfort over truth, growth stalls. When reality becomes clear, better decisions follow. Press play and see what happens when denial quietly leaves the room._______________________Episode Reference:The Pyramid of The Self - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/16-how-build-your-best-self-from-ground-up-alan-lazaros-ya3oe/Learn more about:Track the Work.

As Oscar night draws near, Below the Line turns to one of the most emotionally powerful — and hotly debated — categories of the year: the Academy Award for Best Original Score. In Episode 11 of our 2026 Oscar series, Skid is joined by returning panelists Chris Molanphy, Louis Weeks, and Jennie Armon to break down the five nominees recognized at the 98th Academy Awards: Bagonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and Sinners. With just over a week until the ceremony on March 15, the conversation balances prediction, perspective, and deep craft analysis — examining not only who might win, but what each score is attempting to accomplish. The discussion covers: Jerskin Fendrix's anarchic, genre-bending approach to Bagonia — and whether creative “broken communication” can be a feature rather than a flaw Alexandre Desplat's lush, violin-forward score for Frankenstein and what makes it feel both classical and quietly subversive Max Richter's restrained work on Hamnet, including the complicated legacy of “On the Nature of Daylight” and how previously composed music intersects with Oscar eligibility Johnny Greenwood's immersive, pulse-driven soundscape for One Battle After Another — and why some scores only reveal their full power in context with picture Ludwig Göransson's sweeping, thesis-driven score for Sinners, a front-runner that uses music not just to support story, but to make an argument of its own Along the way, the panel debates what the Academy tends to reward in this category: traditional orchestral craftsmanship, avant-garde experimentation, cultural resonance, or sheer emotional impact. They also spotlight overlooked scores from the year and reflect on how film music continues to evolve — especially as composers move fluidly between pop, concert, and cinematic worlds. As the 98th Academy Awards approach, this episode offers both a critical deep dive and a celebration of how music shapes the movies we love.

Nick Glimsdahl is a leading authority in Customer Experience (CX) and Digital Transformation, specializing in the critical connection between authentic service and business success.As the Director of Contact Center Solutions at VDS and host of the weekly podcast Press 1 For Nick, Nick combines deep expertise in sales, marketing, and contact-center strategy to help organizations create effortless and human-centered customer experiences. He advises companies on aligning business goals, customer expectations, and employee experience—often guiding organizations through complex initiatives such as digital transformation and AI adoption.Nick is also the author of The Heart of Service, where he champions service models that scale operationally without losing empathy, helping leaders and teams build customer experiences that drive long-term loyalty and growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Nick Glimsdahl to explore the powerful idea that how you serve is how you sell. Nick explains that authentic selling begins with transparency, being honest about pricing, timelines, expectations, and outcomes so prospects can truly “see around the corner” and make informed decisions.The conversation highlights the often-overlooked period between contract signature and implementation, what Nick calls the “go-live gap.” When organizations fail to deliver a consistent experience during this phase, customers quickly lose trust, leading to buyer's remorse, lost renewals, and missed referrals.Nick also shares lessons from his book The Heart of Service, emphasizing the importance of listening deeply to customers and frontline employees, reviewing sales conversations to improve performance, and aligning internal teams to deliver a unified customer experience. This episode offers practical strategies for sales professionals to build trust, create seamless handoffs, and focus on long-term relationships rather than short-term wins.KEY TAKEAWAYSTransparency about pricing, timelines, expectations, and results builds stronger customer trust.The “go-live gap”—the period between signing and implementation—is critical to customer satisfaction and retention.Long-term customer lifetime value should take priority over quick transactional wins.Sales professionals shape the customer experience because they are often the first face of the organization.Strong internal alignment between sales, implementation, and customer success ensures a consistent experience.Listening more than talking helps sales professionals better understand customer needs.Genuine care and attention toward prospects differentiate sellers in a crowded marketplace.HIGHLIGHT QUOTES“Selling from the heart means being transparent—about price, timelines, expectations, and results.”“The more I spoke, the better I sounded… but that didn't mean people would buy.”“You don't have to be great. You just have to beat the DMV… but somewhere between Zappos and the DMV.”“Care more than everybody else.”“You don't close a sale. You open a relationship.”“Customers will easily go to your competitor—even if they have to pay more—for a better experience.”ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Why do people stop chasing their dreams even when they once believed in them?In this episode, Kevin and Alan explore the real reason most people quit long before success arrives. It is rarely about effort. Belief fades. Expectations collide with reality. Uncertainty begins to outweigh the goal.

They understand the uncomfortable space between starting and succeeding.Press play and confront the moment most people turn back._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work.

Eric Jensen is joined by Adam to talk some college hoops. Notable moments St, John's debate (17:00) Mid SEC (40:00) Which conference will the national title come from (45:00)

You don't have a confidence problem. You have an evidence problem. And it's costing you more than you think. It's costing you the promotion you didn't apply for. The business you haven't launched. The boundary you didn't set. The conversation you avoided. The love you didn't fully step into. The health habit you keep postponing. The money you haven't claimed. It's costing you the life you feel capable of  but haven't yet allowed yourself to build. In this powerful first episode of a multi-part confidence series, Leah Roling dismantles one of the biggest myths we've ever been sold: that confidence comes before action. It doesn't. Confidence is not something you find. It's something you train. Backed by psychology, neuroscience, and real-world application, Leah breaks down: • Why waiting to “feel ready” is quietly sabotaging your growth • The science behind self-efficacy (and why belief follows behavior ...not the other way around) • How fear and confidence operate like a neurological seesaw • The simple 30-day practice that builds unshakable self-trust • Why confidence is accumulated proof not personality This conversation is compassionate. It's grounding. And it's activating. If you've been stuck in hesitation, second-guessing, overthinking, or waiting for the “right moment”  this episode will shift you. Because confidence doesn't grow from consuming inspiration. It grows from participation. Press play if you're ready to stop postponing the version of you that already knows she's capable.

Send a textWhat happens when a busy week of community events, student workshops, and gallery nights collides with an unexpected dream offer? I opened the door to spring with color, coffee, and collaboration—and then share how a national Mahjong company discovered my work and invited me to design beautiful mats that bring pattern, play, and personality to the table.We start with First Friday momentum and a morning meetup that sparks a new nonprofit experience design. From there, we head to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Village with Junior Achievement to guide five thousand students through hands-on art: a collaborative bokeh-style landscape built dot by dot, conversations about creative careers, and tiny “charcuterie” boards that teach composition through play. The week levels up with a scout workshop where simple birdhouses gain a digital soul—stickers become animated birds and butterflies with the Artivive app—showing kids how traditional craft and technology can sing together.Back at the studio, we get ready for live painting at the Home and  Garden Show, a St. Patrick's plaza crawl, and a slate of fresh classes: mosaic lights, acrylic-and-resin techniques, and needle-felted bangles. Then let's pull back the curtain on the licensing milestone—how sharing genuine joy about learning Mahjong led the right partners to my doorstep, and what's next as we explore wholesale, affiliate options, and bringing elegant tiles to the local community. Along the way, I want to talk upcycled fashion, supportive teachers, and the one practice that keeps everything grounded: carving out ten minutes a day to make something that makes your heart happy.If you love creative entrepreneurship, community art, and real-world steps to grow your practice, you'll feel right at home.

Not sure if it's sensitivity or stress? Take the HSP Stress Test here: https://trueinnerfreedom.com/hsp-stress-test/  Have you ever been told you're "overthinking" when you were actually just trying to understand something deeply? If you're a highly sensitive person, your need for depth can feel like both a gift and a burden. You pause before responding. You reflect before committing. You circle back to unresolved moments because you care about clarity and meaning. But in a fast-paced world that values speed over depth, that can get misread as drama, indecision, or "too much." Over time, those misinterpretations can quietly turn into self-doubt — and you may start questioning something that is actually one of your greatest strengths. In this Strategy Friday episode, we unpack why this happens and how to stop internalizing a misunderstanding that was never yours to carry. By listening, you'll: Understand the science behind the highly sensitive brain — and why depth of processing is a biological strength, not a flaw Learn how to tell the difference between healthy depth and anxious spiraling so you can trust your inner experience Discover practical ways to stay rooted in your insight and meaning-making without feeling alone or misunderstood Press play now to reclaim your depth as the strength it truly is — and stop letting misunderstanding turn into self-doubt.   Todd Smith, founder of True Inner Freedom Dreaming of a stress-free, balanced life?

1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger, 2 you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise; 7 which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, 8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 9 How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep— 11 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth, 13 who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers, 14 in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 16 There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, 19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers. 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. 25 Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 30 Men don't despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry, 31 but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul. 33 He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won't spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Andy shares his whirlwind early career—signing a record deal in his 20s, walking away to fight for his marriage, and the painful (but formative) season of learning to lead when nobody's clapping.  Then it gets personal: the moment Andy realized he wasn't being motivated by God… but by shame—"like you write yourself a letter and forge God's signature on it."  If you've ever felt disqualified, stuck, or afraid to step out again, this will reset your perspective.   Press play and listen now.    About Your Guest  Andy Cherry is a worship leader, songwriter, and musician who has spent years serving the Church both on stage and behind the scenes.

He has also helped shape projects for fellow worship leaders while quietly building a reputation as a trusted songwriter and creative voice.  Today, Andy serves at Seacoast Church and travels as musical director and acoustic guitarist for Brandon Lake. Known for his heart for authenticity and family, Andy is now releasing new music inspired by fatherhood, including his upcoming project Songs For My Son Vol. 1.

“I really think sitting down and understanding where you want to go, and the things that make you happy and bring you joy, those are the things that you need to put more energy into. The things that are not benefiting you, you have the power to control that, to take that narrative and change it.” —Heather NelsonWe reach a point where pushing harder stops working.

What if aging isn't an inevitability but a system you can learn to influence? We sit down with Jay Campbell, author, founder of Bio Longevity Labs, and longtime voice in hormone optimization, to pull back the curtain on peptides, GLP-1s, TRT, and the habits that actually move the needle on biological age. No fluff, no hype cycles, just a direct path through the noise so you can stop guessing and start compounding wins.Jay explains why only a sliver of people truly understand peptides, how GLP-1s can slash obesity risk when used with intention, and why most failures come from bad sourcing and worse guidance. We cover the core stack of real-world results: protein-forward nutrition, intelligent strength training, daily movement, high-quality sleep, and targeted therapeutics. If you've felt stuck between social media extremes, miracle claims on one side, fatalistic “it is what it is” on the other, this conversation gives you the signal you've been missing.We also tackle the stigma around testosterone replacement therapy and the sports-era myths that still scare people away from safe, supervised care. Jay breaks down how to vet vendors, avoid counterfeit peptides, and recognize when AI-fed summaries are confidently wrong. Along the way, we talk recovery gains after 40, the danger of chasing the cheapest vial, and why mindset is the master lever: your thoughts shape your routines, and your routines sculpt your biomarkers.If you're ready to trade shortcuts for strategy and turn back metabolic drift with data and discipline, this is your playbook.
