If life feels a little out of wack or chaotic, like what you're doing doesn't align with what you want - your priorities could be all out of order. And as a Christian, we're actually called to more.  Today we're talking about getting our priorities in order, the RIGHT order and why it's important!  Having priorities out of order can lead to chaos and overwhelm and putting time and effort into the wrong things. How we act out what we prioritize matters because it begins to define how we live our lives.  Today, I lay out Scripture that backs up what our priorities should be, the priority order I love, and an exhortation to sit down and take inventory for your own life.

Law firm leaders are often so busy putting out fires that they never get the chance to prevent the next one. In episode 634 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Debbie Foster about leading operations, the third cornerstone from their book, Be a Next Level Leader (beanextlevelleader.com).  Debbie and Stephanie explore what it means to shift from being the “hero” who solves every problem to the architect who builds systems that help the firm run better. They break down how leaders can help teams prioritize urgent versus important work, clarify decision-making authority, and develop the judgment to make better decisions without constantly escalating them.  They also explain why healthy firms surface problems early instead of hiding mistakes, how solving root causes can prevent recurring operational headaches, and why some law firm meetings cost far more than the decisions being made inside them.  If your days feel like an endless cycle of interruptions, emergencies, and meetings about the same problems, this episode offers practical ways to build systems that create more clarity, accountability, and consistency across your firm.  This week's homework: head to beanextlevelleader.com/resources for a free meeting audit calculator to see what your recurring meetings are really costing your firm.  Listen to our previous episodes on Law Firm Leadership, Systems & Stronger Teams  #633: Leading People in Law Firms: Building Trust, Developing Talent, and Holding Standards, with Debbie Foster & Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #632: Law Firm Leadership: How to Lead Yourself Before Leading Your Team, with Debbie Foster & Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #631: Tune In Before You Jump In: A Better Way to Delegate, with Shawn Vanderhoven Apple | Spotify | LTN  #616: From Solo to CEO: Letting Go of Legal Work to Grow Your Firm, with Ellen Williamson Apple | Spotify | LTN  #615: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck and Build Stronger Teams, with Debbie Foster and Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #530: How to Design Meetings that Drive Results, with Matthew Homann Apple | Spotify | LTN  #522: The EOS Secret to Mastering Law Firm Challenges, with Mike Paton Apple | Spotify | LTN  Links from the episode: Kaleidoscope Conference, September 22-24 in Las Vegas: https://www.8am.com/events/kaleidoscope/ use code “Lawyerist26”    Have thoughts about today's episode?

Sunday, August 30Mark 10:1-31 When you preach through books of the Bible, one of the greatblessings is that, sooner or later, you will preach on every subject imaginable. But one of the harder aspects is that, sooner or later, you will preach on every subject imaginable. There is no way to avoid topics such as the one before us today. And that is ok.  In fact, it is exactly what Jesus wants us to do. 

What changes as we get older? Maybe it's less about becoming a completely different person and more about getting clearer on what actually deserves our time.In this Sunday episode of Casa DeConfidence, Julie and Dan are back at the microphones for one of their candid conversations about marriage, midlife, getting older, changing priorities, and creating a life you actually enjoy.It starts, as many Casa conversations do, somewhere unexpected: Julie announces a new bucket-list dream of taking on the Mongol Rally, a wild, choose-your-own-adventure journey across thousands of miles. That leads Dan to ask a bigger question: What mattered to us in our 20s that doesn't matter nearly as much now?And what have we learned along the way?Dan shares something he wishes he had understood sooner: in his 20s, he didn't fully understand the power of saying no. Later, he had to learn the power of saying yes. Now, in midlife, he recognizes that a good life requires both.Julie and Dan talk about what it means to trust yourself enough to make your own decisions, how our priorities shift as we age, why some opportunities are worth saying yes to, and why we don't have to do everything ourselves.They also get into the very real stuff of everyday life: simplifying dinner when life gets busy, Julie's upcoming trip to Key West for the annual Jimmy Buffett celebration, adventures with their three senior dogs, the never-ending bathroom remodel, and why sometimes the best decision you can make is eating pizza outside on a beautiful New England evening.Because some things in life are fleeting.Maybe living confidently isn't always about chasing the next accomplishment. Sometimes it's knowing what matters, saying no to what doesn't, saying yes to what does, and giving yourself permission to enjoy it without guilt.In This Episode:How priorities change as we get olderWhat we would tell our younger selves about lifeThe power of saying no without guiltWhy learning to say yes matters just as muchCreating a bucket list and choosing new adventuresWhy midlife can bring greater clarity about what really mattersLetting go of the pressure to do everything yourselfMaking intentional choices about your time and energyWhy ordinary moments can become some of the best parts of lifeJulie's upcoming Key West adventure celebrating Jimmy BuffettMarriage, aging, senior dogs, home renovations, and plenty of Casa DeConfidence banterA Question for YouThink about who you were at 21 or 25.What mattered enormously to you then that you don't care nearly as much about today? And what matters to you now that your younger self never would have understood?We'd love to hear your answer.If this episode makes you laugh, think, or reconsider what deserves a yes or a no in your own life, share it with someone who might need the same reminder.And remember: pick one thing you enjoy and do it guiltlessly.Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, make some brave moves, and leave people and the planet better than you found them.I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode.

THE WEIGHT OF THE CARRY#NightLightRTTBROS "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28I remember watching a tv show about a group of hikers on a trail a few years back. There was one guy who had a pack that looked like it belonged on a mule. It was oversized, overstuffed, and he was leaning forward just to keep from tipping over. Every few hundred yards, he'd stop, gasp for air, and shift the straps. He was exhausted, not because the trail was too steep, but because he was carrying things he didn't actually need for the trip.We do that with our souls all the time.We don't just carry today's burdens; we carry the ghosts of last year's mistakes, the "what-ifs" of next decade, and the weight of expectations we never actually signed up for. We lean forward, gasping for air, wondering why the walk of faith feels so heavy."Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28Notice He doesn't say, "Come to me once you've sorted through your pack." He says come while you're still heavy laden. The invitation is to bring the whole oversized bag: the shame, the anxiety, the exhausted effort, and trade it for His rest.The secret to the journey isn't getting stronger so you can carry more; it's getting smarter about what you leave at His feet.Tonight, before you drift off, take an inventory of your pack. What are you carrying that doesn't belong on this trail?Set the bag down. He's got it.Application Points:1. Identify the "Extra Weight": Spend five minutes in silence asking the Holy Spirit to show you one specific burden you are carrying (a past regret, a future fear, or someone else's expectation) that isn't yours to bear.2. The Physical Release: As you pray, physically open your hands palms-up to symbolize the act of releasing that specific weight to God, acknowledging that His strength is sufficient where yours has run out.3. Practice Selective Carrying: Tomorrow, when you feel that "leaning forward" exhaustion, stop and ask: "Is this a burden God asked me to carry, or am I packing for a trip I'm not on?"

What happens when you're no longer who you used to be, but you're not quite who you're becoming yet?That in-between season can be uncomfortable. Things that once fit don't anymore. Relationships shift. Priorities change. And sometimes growth feels a lot more like losing than becoming.In Growing Pains — The Journey to Becoming, Nyra and Tyreen have an honest conversation about navigating seasons of transition, pruning, and uncertainty. They share what it's been like to grow through their 20s and 30s, trust the process when the next version of life isn't clear yet, and accept that becoming often comes with some growing pains.If you're in a season where life feels unfamiliar and you're still figuring out who you're becoming, this conversation is for you.Take your walk, press play, and give yourself some grace in the in-between.

Aug. 28, 2026 - We check in with Katherine Nadeau, deputy executive director for Environmental Advocates NY, to discuss the group's scorecards for state lawmakers, including their methodology. We also look ahead to their 2027 legislative agenda and how they'll get it done. This is an excerpt from an upcoming episode of Dispatches from Planet Albany.

Have you ever felt like life was one long to-do list? Do you scramble from one activity to the next without taking a breath in between? Do you long for a life of presence and intention? There's no denying that modern life is full of distractions, responsibilities, and expectations, but sometimes we're simply just trying to do too much! How might life look with only three, well-defined priorities at a time? Rather than trying to do everything, maybe we can prioritize a few things and do them with the utmost care. As we listen to the summer morning sounds, consider the "big rocks" in your life, with an intentional shift in focus you can create space for more magic to shine through. Support the Show & Stay Connected

Inclusive nonprofit strategic planning is not simply about inviting more people to the table—it is about intentionally engaging the right stakeholders at the right stages of the process to create stronger decisions, deeper commitment, and more sustainable implementation. In this episode, Host Carol Hamilton explains: ·      why traditional, top-down planning models often fall short for nonprofits and  ·      outlines an inclusive approach that reflects the collaborative nature of mission-driven organizations.  ·      the roles of boards, staff, volunteers, program participants, community members, funders, partners, and consultants throughout the planning process, emphasizing that while not everyone participates in every phase, everyone has an important contribution to make. The episode reinforces that successful nonprofit strategic planning builds shared understanding, shared vision, shared priorities, and ultimately shared action through thoughtful engagement and skilled facilitation. 00:00 – Shared Action Begins with Shared Participation 03:00 – Why Traditional Strategic Planning Falls Short 04:00 – Inclusive Planning Expands Both Buy-In and Insight 05:00 – The Strategic Planning Committee Stewards the Process, Not the Plan 08:00 – Internal Stakeholders Bring Essential Operational Perspective 10:00 – Those Served Should Help Shape the Future 12:00 – External Stakeholders Broaden Strategic Perspective 13:00 – The Consultant's Value Is Process Expertise and Fresh Perspective 14:00 – Listening Comes First, Then Synthesis 15:00 – Planning Sessions Focus on Shared Meaning and Priorities 16:00 – Strategic Planning Requires Choosing What Matters Most 17:00 – Strategic Plans Should Create Space for Deliberate Action 18:00 – Inclusive Planning Builds Stronger Organizations About your podcast host: Carol Hamilton, principal of Grace Social Sector Consulting, helps nonprofits become more strategic and effective through inclusive strategic planning, evaluation design, and organizational assessment.

Imagine being fifteen years old and having your head teacher tell you straight to your face that you will amount to absolutely nothing. For years, Gina carried that heavy, wounding line with her, pouring her energy into a relentless, high-stakes, fifteen-year career in corporate tech and consulting—constantly striving, doing more, and trying to prove her worth. But after years of managing massive, multi-million-pound projects for major organisations like the NHS and Sainsbury's, her body and mind finally hit a breaking point.

Balance does not mean giving everything the same amount of time, attention, or resources. Not everything is of equal priority or necessity, so treating everything equally can actually keep you from giving enough to the things that matter most. Real balance is about allocating your resources according to priority and necessity. Your priorities change as your circumstances change, and the goal is to make sure your resources match your objectives instead of trying to make everything equal. Show Notes: [02:47]#1 Equal distribution creates mediocrity. [07:27]#2 Priorities change with circumstances. [15:04]#3 Balance is about alignment, not symmetry.

Some of the most valuable financial lessons I've ever learned didn't come from a budgeting book, a money course, or even years of coaching women with their finances. They came from stepping on a plane. When I first started traveling, I simply wanted to see new places and have fun. But over time, I realized travel was changing much more than the stamps in my passport. It changed the way I thought about money. It changed the way I defined financial freedom. It changed what I valued, how I spent my money, and even how I measured success. In this episode, I'm sharing five of the biggest lessons travel has taught me about money, freedom, gratitude, and building a life that's aligned with what matters most. Because sometimes the greatest return on your money isn't something you can measure…it's the perspective you gain along the way.   In this episode, we discuss: Why experiences often create more lasting value than material possessions How travel helped me become more intentional with my spending The unexpected gratitude that comes from seeing different parts of the world Why financial freedom is about more than reaching a certain number How travel helped me redefine success on my own terms Why rest is an essential part of building a healthy, sustainable life The connection between experiences, relationships, and lasting memories Why money is a tool…not the ultimate goal How identifying your values makes financial decisions easier The role experiences can play in creating a richer, more meaningful life   This episode is especially helpful if you: • Love to travel or want to travel more intentionally • Feel like you're working hard but want your money to support a more meaningful life • Are trying to align your spending with your personal values • Want to build financial freedom that reflects your own definition of success • Feel pulled between saving for the future and enjoying the present • Want a healthier relationship with money and the life it's helping you create   Why this matters: Managing your money isn't just about growing your savings or reaching financial milestones. It's about creating a life that reflects what matters most to you. When you're clear on your values, financial decisions become easier because you're no longer spending based on pressure, comparison, or impulse. You're spending with intention. For me, travel became one of the experiences that clarified those values. It reminded me that freedom isn't just measured by a bank account. It's measured by the choices you have, the relationships you invest in, the memories you create, and the life you're able to build along the way. That's why I believe money management is about so much more than numbers. It's about using your money as a tool to support the people, experiences, and priorities that make your life feel meaningful.   Timestamps: [02:05] Raya shares some of the most important things travel has given her that can't be measured in dollars. [04:45] Thinking about all the places Raya hasn't been to brings excitement to her. That is a sign that travel equals joy for her. [09:55] Raya used to believe that working hard was always the answer. Over time, travel has taught her that rest really does matter. [13:17] When people ask Raya why she's so passionate about budgeting, her answer is because it helps her leverage her money to create experiences.   Resources Mentioned: Episode #65: How Traveling Feeds My Soul and Keeps Me Motivated Request a free money call with Raya City Girl Savings Personal Finance Portfolio Financial Focus Coaching Program If there's one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it's that money isn't the destination. It's the tool that helps you create the life you want to live. Whether that's traveling more, spending meaningful time with the people you love, building flexibility into your schedule, or simply feeling more present in your everyday life, your financial decisions have the power to support what matters most. So take a little time to think about your own priorities. What experiences have shaped you? What memories do you want to create? What kind of life are you working toward? Because when you're clear on those answers, your budget becomes more than a spending plan…it becomes a reflection of your values and a roadmap for the life you want to build.

Andrew Morgans is founder and CEO of Marknology, an Amazon brand accelerator in Kansas City. In fifteen years in e-commerce he has managed over two billion dollars in revenue across 300 brands, launched his own warehouse, and built an AI platform for profitability, PPC, and inventory.This episode explores why most brand owners still do not know their real numbers on Amazon, and why the platform needs to be managed as a P&L, not just a sales channel.Andrew breaks down how storage fees, returns, and blended ad spend across Meta and TikTok quietly eat margin, and shares how shifting from branded search to broader targeting cut one brand's cost per acquisition from forty dollars to eleven. He also discusses building a family run agency and launching his own AI software.Listeners will leave with a sharper framework for finding where their margin is actually going, and why chasing top line revenue without profitability is a losing game.Our podcast is listed in Feedspot's 100 Best E-Commerce Podcasts:https://podcast.feedspot.com/ecommerce_podcasts/Website: https://expanio.com/Podcast website: https://expanio.com/commerce-untold-podcast/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CommerceUntoldGuest: Andrew Morgans, Founder & CEO, MarknologyAndrew Morgans's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/watchdrewwork/Marknology: https://www.marknology.com/Key Takeaways: • Most brand owners don't actually know their numbers on Amazon, which makes profitable decisions impossible. • Managing Amazon as a P&L instead of a sales channel is the fastest way to protect margin. • Shifting ad targeting from exact-match branded search to broader terms can cut cost per acquisition dramatically, even when ROAS drops. • Vertical integration, agency, warehouse, and personal brands, works best when each piece feeds the others. • Trust with clients is built by under promising and over delivering, not by chasing every channel at once. • Viral moments don't build brands. Consistency and knowing your keyword-level margin do.Chapters:[00:16] Introducing Andrew Morgans and Marknology's Vertical Integration[03:32] Building a Family-Owned Agency From the Ground Up[08:17] Managing Amazon as a P&L, Not a Sales Channel[10:46] Where Profit Leaks: Fees, Attribution, and Hidden Costs[13:41] Case Study: Cutting Cost Per Acquisition by Broadening Targeting[17:00] Focus, Priorities, and Entrepreneurial Balance[21:09] Building an AI Platform for PPC, Inventory, and Profitability[27:43] Expanding Into New Markets and Building Client Trust[41:32] Content, Community, and Closing Thoughts on Testing

Principle 45, Matthew - Biblical Priorities    Matthew 19:16-26    We are never to allow material possessions to keep us from making God and His will a priority in our lives.Support the show

Are you a senior executive or elite tech leader spending all your working hours riding a corporate treadmill, sacrificing deep presence with aging parents or growing children just to secure the next title?   In this transparent and deeply reflective solo episode, host Billy Keels breaks down a powerful life lesson on how life experiences fundamentally reshape a high performer's priorities. Billy recounts his recent 3,925-mile transatlantic investment—flying from Barcelona to the United States for a brief five-day trip purely to celebrate his mother's birthday and watch basketball on the couch with his father. Drawing contrast against his 26-year corporate history managing $100M EMEA operations for a blue-logo German enterprise software giant, Billy breaks down what it truly feels like to exit corporate dependency. Learn how to achieve a lifestyle where you no longer need to beg a boss for personal time off (PTO), how to transition your relationship with your 168 weekly hours, and how to build a predictable pathway to optionality that lets you be fully present for the moments that matter most.
