Welcome back to Part 17 of our Joseph Smith Podcast series covering Dr. John Turner's new biography on Joseph Smith titled: Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.In this episode, we begin part one of our deep dive into the Book of Abraham –a controversial and fascinating text within Latter-day Saint history. We'll trace its origins in 1835 Kirtland, explore Joseph Smith's acquisition of Egyptian papyri and mummies, and discuss the Egyptomania of the time that fueled public curiosity.With guest scholar Dr. John Turner, we set the stage for how the Book of Abraham fits into the broader story of Mormonism, how Joseph Smith interpreted the papyri, and why questions of translation, sincerity, and inspiration still matter today. This is just the beginning of our discussion –the Nauvoo period will follow in later chapters!Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here. One half of all donations will go to Dr. Turner for as long as he is participating in the series.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

Say goodbye to General Glitterbeard, the first non-binary Inuit tap-dancer to command a carrier group, or Admiral Aquamarine, our pioneering transatlantic pole-vaulter from the Choctaw Nation of drag queens. These aren't leaders; they're LinkedIn virtue-signals with epaulets. Under Biden's Big Top, the military became a freak show where the ringmaster hands out stars for participation trophies—remember that circus where they paraded out every identity flavor like it was Ben & Jerry's gone rogue? Hegseth's fix? Promote warriors, not woke bingo cards. Lethal laugh: If promotions were this easy in combat, we'd have a five-star general who once survived a pillow fight. "First to cry uncle" doesn't count, snowflakes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome back to part 16 of our Joseph Smith Podcast with Dr. John G. Turner! In this episode, we cover chapter fifteen of John Turner's new book titled “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet” which covers 1834-1835 in Kirtland, Ohio and parts of Missouri. We discuss the rise of patriarchal blessings, the creation of new church offices –like the Twelve and the Seventy. We also discuss the challenges posed by critics like E. D. Howe and his problematic book published in 1834. These years were formative for Joseph Smith and the Latter-day Saint movement. We explore such topics as:-The publication of E. D. Howe's Mormonism Unveiled-The 1835 Doctrine and Covenants (and the Lectures on Faith)-The creation of the Quorum of the Twelve and the Seventy-The beginning of the Law of Adoption-How Joseph Smith used blessings and promises to help people follow himDid this first anti-Mormon publication get under Joseph Smith's skin? What power did early church members believe they were receiving through blessings and ordinances? How did Joseph Smith transform crises into opportunities to strengthen his movement? Join us as we seek to answer each of these questions!Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here.

Evergreen sales: Once published, they can sell on autopilot for months or years. Niche = pricing power: Generic planners might be $3–$7, while niche planners (e.g., Cub Scouts, ADHD students, cosplay) can command $27–$30+. What Sells: Printable Ideas You Can Launch This Week Niche Planners Social media manager planner, homeschool unit planner, event vendor planner, cosplay build planner. (Niche = higher price.)

Your 60-Minute Launch Plan (Step-by-Step) 00:00–10:00 — Pick the idea Choose a printable tied to one of your highest-traffic posts (or a pain point you solve). 10:00–40:00 — Customize a Template Grab a Canva template (e.g., from Printables and More Club) and make quick edits: brand fonts/colors, logo, page titles, swap graphics. Keep it simple. 40:00–60:00 — Publish with MiloTree (Free) Create a freebie (e.g., Easter scavenger hunt) to collect emails. Add a tripwire on the thank-you page (e.g., full Easter activity pack). MiloTree hosts/delivers both, and your AI-generated sales page is done for you—free plan available. Funnel That Converts: Freebie → Tripwire Lead Magnet (Freebie): One valuable page (checklist, scavenger hunt, mini-planner page). Tripwire (Paid): Right after signup, offer the bigger, done-for-them pack (e.g., 20-page activity bundle or full planner) at a limited-time price.

Send us a textHow do you turn life-shattering trauma into a powerful speaking career? Combat-wounded veteran Brian Fleming reveals the answer after surviving a suicide bomber attack in Afghanistan that left him with second and third-degree burns requiring 14 months of grueling recovery.The pivotal moment came when Fleming met a Vietnam veteran who showed him how personal pain could transform lives—including his own. Sixteen years later, Fleming has spoken to over half a million people, worked with Fortune 500 companies, and built a thriving career sharing his resilience strategies.What's surprising is Fleming's counterintuitive approach to storytelling. "One of the biggest mistakes new speakers make is that they talk about themselves," he explains. Instead, successful speakers position their experiences as solutions to problems their audiences desperately want solved. This shift in perspective transforms a personal story from self-focused to audience-focused, answering the two questions every listener silently asks: "Why does this person understand me?" and "Why should I listen to them?"Fleming breaks down his profitable speaking framework into three essential components: Problem (identify what pain your audience experiences), Promote (market yourself to the right decision-makers), and Present (deliver value that solves their problem). This approach works whether you have an extreme story like Fleming's or more common life experiences—the key is addressing problems your audience recognizes and hates.Ready to share your own story and get paid for it? Fleming offers a free Share Your Story Roadmap at useyourstory.com that shows how to make your first $500 speaking within 30 days.

CEO/author Jack Skeels flips conventional management on its head. He explains the hidden “manager tax,” why meetings crush output, and how to replace control-heavy habits with lightweight leadership using two practical frameworks: ACE (Authority–Control–Empowerment) and Why → What → Go → Grow. You'll hear how five-person teams can self-manage, why communication pace matters (“the speed of knowing is faster than the speed of understanding”), and how small AI pods are beating top-down AI rollouts. In this episode, Jack reveals how to cut that hidden “manager tax,” empower teams to self-manage, and even make AI work where most companies fail. If you lead people—or want to escape being led badly—you'll walk away with a playbook to boost performance, reduce burnout, and unlock growth. The Manager Tax is real: More managerial intensity → lower intrinsic productivity (especially via meetings). Meetings are expensive: A single manager's calendar can quietly remove dozens of productive hours from the org each week. Lead, don't over-manage: Replace “control” with framing + empowerment. ACE model: Leaders provide Authority (facts, constraints) and Empowerment (resources). Teams own Control (how work gets done). Why/What before Go: Nail shared context (Why) and clarity of outcomes (What) to minimize management during Go. Grow is ongoing: Managers coach skills and opportunities; they don't micromanage tasks. Socratic unfolding: Let teams pull information via questions to build true, shared understanding. Communication velocity trap: You can explain faster than others can understand; slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Promote generalists to manage: “Best specialists” often over-control; strong generalists tend to under-manage (good!). AI works in pods: Small, empowered cross-functional teams adopting AI beat big top-down programs (faster cycle time, less labor). 00:00 – Setup & intention of the show 03:25 – Jack's origin story: from robotics to reluctant manager 12:58 – The Manager Tax: why more management = less output 17:24 – Leadership vs management; where to draw the line 20:14 – ACE (Authority–Control–Empowerment) explained 29:35 – Why → What → Go → Grow and real span-of-control numbers 34:34 – Generations, role design, and promoting the right people 38:28 – Communication as the #1 success factor 40:29 – “Speed of knowing vs speed of understanding” 42:27 – AI Pods: structure-first AI (time & labor cuts) 46:54 – Where to find Jack + closing Book: Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations — available on Amazon Website: bettercompany.co (rebrand; also reachable via agencyagile.com) Why You Should ListenTop 10 TakeawaysChapter Markings (topic-based)Links Mentioned by the GuestLinkedIn: Jack Skeels (connect & follow his posts)

During their time there, both worked closely with David Miscavige, the current leader of Scientology, and witnessed his brutality firsthand.In this first part, Claire and Marc discuss the foundations of Scientology, what it was like to be raised in it, and how they came to join the Sea Org. They also share insider information on high-profile members such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and even address the mystery of what happened to Shelly Miscavige.Then, join us on Wednesday for part two of this interview, where they share their incredible story of escaping the Sea Org and talk about their work with the Mike Rinder Aftermath Foundation.So strap in and enjoy this stranger-than-fiction story!___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

At such a day as this, God especially calls his people to the exercise of extraordinary meekness and mutual forbearance. Christ appears as it were coming in his kingdom, which calls for great moderation in our behaviour towards all men; Phil. iv. 5. "Let your moderation be known unto all men: The Lord is at hand." The awe of the Divine Majesty, that appears present or approaching, should dispose us to it, and deter us from the contrary.

It's rare these days for a book to go viral, but that's exactly what happened with The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt. Now in its 75th week on the New York Times' bestseller list, the book reveals a startling truth: Starting in 2012, teen depression rates suddenly spiked 150% worldwide, perfectly coinciding with the moment smartphones and social media conquered childhood. But Haidt doesn't just diagnose the crisis. He offers a roadmap out with norms, guidelines, and policy suggestions that parents, schools, and communities are already implementing with remarkable success.

We are back today for part two of our examination of the CES Letter vs. the Book of Mormon. The CES Letter is perhaps one of the most influential documents in Mormon studies, and for years the LDS Church has criticized it and its author, Jeremy Runnells. Is this a fair treatment by the Church, or are Jeremy's questions on church doctrine valid?In this series, we are going point by point through the questions raised in the CES Letter to discuss how they line up with the Book of Mormon, as well as the responses the Church has provided thus far.Some of the questions we'll cover include:-Why is there no archaeological evidence for the Book of Mormon?-Where did the events of the Book of Mormon actually take place?-Why does the Book of Mormon share so many similarities with other books from Joseph Smith's time?-Does the Book of Mormon reflect a Trinitarian view of God?Join us today as we attempt to answer these questions—and more.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.
