00:00:40 Intro00:15:30 Portal Games00:17:00 Cthulhu: Dark Providence00:38:30 Campy Creatures00:44:15 The Gilded Realms01:13::00 Miniature Market01:14:00 Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends01:20:00 Outro A long time ago, we got to play the game A Study in Emerald, so we were very interested in the reimplementation. Cthulhu Dark Providence plunges players into a tense, investigative struggle against cosmic dread, blending noir‑style mystery with the creeping inevitability of Lovecraftian horror. The game uses the combination of tight resource decisions, escalating threats, and growing insanity that make every choice feel like a step deeper into the abyss. But is it better than what we remember, take a listen to find out. Campy Creatures and Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends offer a wildly different moods, each with its own charm. Campy Creatures is a fast, clever bluffing game where you command classic movie monsters to outwit rival mad scientists. Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends adds mythic flair to the beloved combo‑building formula, letting players craft powerful hands inspired by gods, heroes, and legendary artifacts. Together, these games form a vibrant spectrum—from spooky pulp fun to grand fantasy world‑building—each scratching a different strategic itch. The Gilded Realms blends city‑building with a clever, almost puzzle‑like tableau system that evolves every round. Cards you place steadily march downward through your tableau, and when they reach the bottom, they convert into precious resources—fuel for expanding your kingdom, unlocking card abilities, or mustering an army before the looming invasion arrives. That slow, predictable cadence creates a satisfying rhythm: every placement is an investment, every advancement a small payoff, and every turn a chance to set up something bigger. Interaction is light, with only the occasional skirmish to break the solitude, so most of the tension comes from managing your own tight economy. Resources never feel abundant, and the game constantly nudges you toward tough, meaningful decisions about what to prioritize and what to sacrifice. If you enjoy kingdom builders that reward planning, efficiency, and a touch of long‑term foresight, The Gilded Realms is absolutely worth exploring. Thanks for listening, we really do appreciate it.

Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole discuss the biblical doctrine of God's providence and why it matters for everyday life. They define providence as God both preserving and governing all of creation. Adam and Matthew explain how believing in God's sovereignty and goodness provides peace and comfort even when we can't understand His purposes. They discuss how providence differs from mere foreknowledge, address common objections, and emphasize that trusting God's character is essential for finding rest in difficult circumstances.

Proverbs 15 provides applications for those who fear the Lord. We've considered more sophisticated definitions of the fear of God in past messages. Today I'm proposing a simple summary considering the context of Proverbs 15. To fear the Lord is: to take Him as seriously as His gory demands. Those who seek to live appropriately in His universal presence will heed Solomon's admonitions.  It stands to reason that if the hearts of the children of man lie open before the Lord, those who bring their hearts to him willingly for review and instruction will fare better in this life and the next one.  Let us fear the Lord in heeding these words today

There are moments when something so unlikely and unexpected, and yet so wonderful, occurs, that we cannot help but see is as the hand of God at work in the world. But if God intervenes so forcefully in the world sometimes, it serves to highlight the many times when He does not (apparently) intervene. Why is one person miraculously spared from cancer, while thousands of others are condemned to die? The truth is that God's Providence is not just at work in the unlikely and the obvious ways we see. His Providence extends to each and every moment of our lives, even down to the most mundane. He is never absent.

Send us a textonight at Providence City Hall, members of the City Council will formally introduce a rent stabilization ordinance aimed at limiting annual rent increases in the city.Supporters argue the proposal is a necessary response to rapidly rising rents, housing insecurity, and displacement in one of the tightest rental markets in the country. Critics warn rent stabilization could discourage new housing construction, reduce investment, and create unintended long-term consequences.In this episode, we're joined by Providence City Councilor Sue AnderBois, a leading proponent of the plan, to walk through what's being proposed, why she believes the policy is needed now, and how the ordinance is designed to balance tenant protections with concerns from landlords and developers.Support the show

The tentative agreement sets a national precedent: a 19% wage increase over three years paired with an ironclad staffing enforcement clause. If staffing ratios are missed, nurses receive automatic premium pay with no arbitration and no delay.HR takeaway: This is not just a labor story. It is an operational and financial risk signal. HR leaders should immediately calculate their staffing miss rate and model what automatic penalties would have cost last month. If you wait for the union to raise this, you are already behind. Segment 2: The Telehealth Countdown Extended Medicare telehealth flexibilities expire in 11 days, on January 30, 2026. Without Congressional action, the geographic originating site rule snaps back on February 1, limiting reimbursement for home based telehealth visits outside rural areas. HR takeaway: Do you know which providers in your system would be out of compliance on February 1? If not, why not? This is a data and workforce planning problem, not just a policy issue. Patient access, provider schedules, and employee time off will all be affected if telehealth abruptly contracts. Segment 3: The Efficiency Wave Moves West Following Alameda Health, Providence announced cuts of approximately 450 non clinical roles across Washington and Oregon, while CVS Health and its subsidiary Oak Street Health are closing clinics and reducing headcount. Growth at all costs is giving way to margin preservation. HR takeaway: This is not panic. It is a phase change. Expect continued role consolidation, automation, and redeployment. The best organizations will reskill and redeploy talent with integrity, transparency, and real choice, not force disguised as opportunity. The Bigger Picture Labor contracts, care delivery models, and financial discipline are converging fast. If you are in healthcare HR and still see yourself as adjacent to strategy, it is time to step forward. The teams who engage now will be shaping enterprise decisions a year from today.

Exodus 2 has so much going on in it... a dramatic rescue of Moses, the amazing childhood blessing of growing up in Pharaoh's house, Moses' disappointing banishment, and the cry of God's people for deliverance. And yet, behind all of this is God's unseen hand of providence and provision. So, join us in our study of Exodus 2 as we see God's plan unfolding for His people! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Has there ever been a time when you have felt persecuted or oppressed or discouraged by some difficult circumstance in your life? How did that difficulty affect your mindset, happiness or ability to thrive? In this passage, how do we see God's presence holding back the impact of the Egyptian persecution on the Jews? When the book of Exodus opens, how many years have passed since the end of the Book of Genesis? How does this tie into the Lord's prophecy to Abraham in Genesis 15:13? 2.    What did the podcast suggest about the importance of the fact that Amram and Jochebed knew they were from the tribe of Levi?  3.    What was Pharaoh's command for Jewish baby boys back in Exodus 1:16? 4.    How did God ordain and orchestrate the very moments of Moses' rescue in verses 4 & 5?  5.    How might Moses' childhood contribute to his mindset in verses 11 and 12 when he killed the Egyptian?  6.    Moses ended up feeling to Midian for 40 years. How might this have been a disappointment to his own plans and expectations for his life? How did God use this time to purify Moses? Has He done similar work in your life?  7.    What does verse 25 tell us about the attention of God for His people? How did the podcast suggest that God had arranged the details of their rescue? How did the Lord work out the details in your own life for you to know Him and call upon Him to be your Lord and Savior?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Nehemiah | Week 2 | God's Providence (Extended Small Groups) | Ellie Ryan

January 18, 2026 Sunday evening sermon from Providence reformed Church Las Vegas.

Nato a Providence nel 1890, Howard Phillips Lovecraft è oggi riconosciuto come uno dei padri indiscussi della letteratura horror contemporanea. In vita, Lovecraft visse un'esistenza segnata da malattie, isolamento e un'infinita curiosità per l'ignoto. Sebbene le sue opere non ricevettero inizialmente il riconoscimento che meritavano, sono oggi celebrate per la loro capacità di evocare orrori cosmici e profonde riflessioni sull'insignificanza umana nell'universo. Al centro della sua narrativa vi è la creazione dei Miti di Cthulhu, un pantheon di divinità antiche e terribili che sfidano la comprensione umana. La sua immaginazione ha dato vita a mondi oscuri, dove l'umanità è costantemente minacciata da forze al di là della comprensione, elementi che ancora oggi ispirano autori e artisti di ogni genere. Ma chi era l'uomo dietro queste storie agghiaccianti? E cosa rende ancora oggi la sua eredità così potente e inquietante? Ne parliamo assieme a Giacomo Giaquinto: narratore, fumettista e autore di romanzi. Iscriviti al gruppo Telegram per interagire con noi e per non perderti nessuna delle novità in anteprima e degli approfondimenti sulle puntate: https://t.me/LucePodcast Se vuoi ascoltarci senza filtri e sostenere il nostro lavoro, da oggi è possibile abbonarsi al nostro canale Patreon e accedere a contenuti bonus esclusivi tramite questo link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/147092382

Women comprise 75% of the healthcare workforce and make the majority of family healthcare decisions—yet hold only 20% of senior leadership positions. Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, sees this gap as more than unfair. At CVS Health, Dr. Amy oversees clinical strategy for 9,000 community access points with a clear mission: simplify healthcare and make the right thing the easy thing. "We've put things like electronic medical records, narrow insurance networks, and administrative rigmarole between patients and people who can help them," she explains. "How can we start taking layers out?" But she didn't reach this role by following the traditional playbook. She turned down her dream job because the timing wasn't right for her family. She went part-time during peak career years, trading off with her husband as their priorities shifted. And she's consistently been tapped on the shoulder for opportunities rather than raising her hand, which taught her that doing your current job exceptionally well matters more than constantly positioning for the next one. In this conversation, Dr. Amy explains why healthcare needs women's voices at the executive table for design thinking that actually works, how she and her husband negotiated dual careers through different life stages, why "performance gets you the podium" but authenticity and strategic thinking get you the C-suite, and what it takes to be heard when you're the only woman in leadership rooms. Whether you're balancing clinical practice with administrative responsibilities, navigating when to say yes and no to opportunities, or building toward senior healthcare leadership, this is uncommon honesty about the trade-offs and strategies that actually matter. Key Takeaways: Do your current job exceptionally well—performance gets you noticed before you ever raise your hand Design healthcare systems with women's voices at the table; they're both the workforce majority and primary family decision-makers Negotiate career trade-offs with your partner over time; one person doesn't have to sacrifice permanently Saying no to your dream job might be the smartest move you make—if they value you, they'll come back Taking layers out of complexity requires intentional design thinking, not just adding more solutions Figure out what's working and what's not, then adjust your strategy—sometimes you need to literally or metaphorically elevate yourself to be heard About the Guest: Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips is Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, where she leads clinical strategy across 9,000 community locations. She previously served as President and Chief Clinical Officer at Providence, a $25 billion health system with 52 hospitals and 120,000 caregivers, where she led the response to the first confirmed COVID-19 case in the United States. Earlier, she spent 22 years at Kaiser Permanente, rising from front-line internist to Chief Quality Officer. A CNN Medical Analyst and keynote speaker, she has served on boards including HIMSS, the Institute for Systems Biology, and Wellcare. She holds her bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Shay Khatiri is one of the most clear-eyed analysts of Iran's regime and its role in global geopolitics. Raised in the Islamic Republic before escaping to the U.S., he now serves as Vice President and Senior Fellow at the Yorktown Institute and writes The Russia–Iran File, a Substack dissecting the domestic and foreign policy strategies of both regimes. His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, The Bulwark, Providence, and Quillette. In this episode, he joins Zoe to unpack the roots of Iran's latest deadly protests, including the regime's use of pellet guns and hospital raids to suppress dissent. He explains why so many Iranians are calling for foreign military intervention, what a post-regime Iran might look like, and why he believes a constitutional monarchy—led by Reza Pahlavi—offers the best hope for stability. They also discuss the role of the diaspora, the rise of underground Christianity, and why the West's inaction may extinguish Iran's last chance at revolution. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 383 applies Napoleon Hill's timeless principles to sales, showing how decision, persistence, and the mastermind turn inner preparation into consistent results. Learn practical, neuroscience-backed actions to make clear decisions, sustain effort through resistance, and multiply success by aligning with the right people. Welcome back to Season 15 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast — where we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience to create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. I'm Andrea Samadi. And seven years ago, when we launched this podcast, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask — either in school, in business, or in life: If productivity and results matter — and they matter now more than ever — how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to work with our brain instead of against it. We were taught what to do — but not how to think, decide, persist, or align with others in ways that produce consistent results. That question pulled me into a decade-long exploration of the mind–brain–results connection — and how neuroscience can be applied to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, I bring you the world's leading experts so we can break down complex science — and turn it into practical strategies you can apply immediately for predictable, science-backed outcomes. And that brings us to today's Episode 383 — where we are going back to reconnect to a powerful 6-part series we originally recorded in 2022 around a book that has shaped achievement for generations: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series[i] We used that book as a framework to launch our year, back in 2022, walking chapter by chapter through the principles my mentor, Bob Proctor, studied for over 50 years of his life. Not casually. Not occasionally. But as a daily discipline for creating results — in business, health, relationships, and purpose. That 6-part series was about the basics — the inner mechanics that govern all achievement. And those basics still matter just as much today. What we're doing now is not revisiting this material because it's old. We're revisiting it because it's timeless. PART 3 — From Decision to Momentum Decision • Persistence • The Power of the Mastermind In Part 3 today, of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales study, we move from inner preparation to outer execution. Up to this point, the earlier chapters have shaped belief, certainty, vision, and authority. But results are not created by preparation alone. They are created when inner mastery is followed by decisive action, sustained effort, and collective intelligence. This is where most people stall—and where sales mastery is forged. Decision We begin with Decision, the moment where intention becomes irreversible. Indecision leaks certainty. Decision creates momentum. Successful people decide quickly and change course slowly. In sales, this means committing to your value, your process, and your outcome before the conversation begins—so hesitation never enters the room. Persistence Next comes Persistence, the force that carries decisions through resistance, delay, and rejection. Persistence is not intensity—it is refusal to quit when progress is invisible. In sales, persistence keeps conversations alive, turns “no” into information, and allows momentum to compound long after others have disengaged. The Power of the Mastermind Finally, we arrive at The Power of the Mastermind—where individual effort becomes exponential. When two or more minds unite in harmony around a definite purpose, a third force emerges: clarity, creativity, and certainty launch beyond individual thinking. This chapter reveals why no great achievement—and no sustained sales success—is built alone. Decision commits you. Persistence carries you. The Mastermind multiplies you. Together, these three principles turn vision into execution and effort into inevitable results. EP 383 — Think and Grow Rich for Sales where we're applying those same principles through a very specific lens — one I've wanted to explore for a long time. Sales. Not sales as tactics. Not sales as scripts. But sales as the external expression of inner mastery. Because here's the truth: You don't need to be in sales for these principles to work — but if you are in sales, they become a powerful advantage. Why Part 3 Matters Today we're covering Decision, Persistence, and The Power of the Mastermind — the principles that separate intention from execution. Up until now in this series, (PART 1 and PART 2) we've been building the inner foundation: Thought Desire Faith Autosuggestion Specialized Knowledge Imagination Organized Planning Those chapters shape belief, certainty, authority, and vision. But Part 3 is where things get real. Because: Decision is where hesitation ends. Persistence is where most people quit. The Mastermind is where momentum multiplies. This is the phase where inner mastery must turn into consistent action, even when results are delayed, resistance appears, or confidence wavers. How the 6-Part Series Maps Directly to Sales Mastery Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied intentionally. Each chapter: Upgrades your inner state Shapes how you show up in conversations Influences the certainty others feel around you And determines whether opportunities compound… or stall That's why this series is called: Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich — through a modern neuroscience + sales lens So today, as we move into Decision, Persistence, and The Power of the Mastermind, ask yourself one question: Where in your life — or your sales process — have you been preparing… but not fully deciding? Because once a decision is made — and backed by persistence and you've got the right people to support you — everything begins to move. Let's begin PART 3. Chapter VIII: Decision Core Idea Decision is the moment where intention becomes irreversible. Success is not delayed by lack of ability, knowledge, or opportunity—it is delayed by indecision. Those who succeed decide quickly, commit fully, and change course slowly. In sales (and life), certainty follows decision, not the other way around.   Sales Application Decide before the call who you are, what you stand for, and the value you bring. This starts with you on the inside, and reflects to others on the outside. Eliminate hesitation by committing to the outcome, not the comfort Stop outsourcing decisions to opinions, objections, or fear of rejection Make decisions promptly, then execute consistently without reopening the question Understand that most stalled deals are not about price or timing—they're about your certainty When you (as the leader) decide fully: Your tone steadies Your message sharpens Your presence communicates leadership Buyers feel that decisiveness immediately. Listener Takeaway Indecision leaks certainty. Decision creates forward momentum. You don't get stuck because you chose the wrong path. You get stuck because you never fully chose one at all. Once a decision is made—and all other options are removed—behavior aligns, confidence follows, and results begin to compound.   The Moment Where Commitment Creates Momentum Napoleon Hill opens Chapter 8 on Decision with a striking conclusion drawn from an accurate analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had experienced failure: “Lack of decision was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of failure.” (CH 8, p. 157, Think and Grow Rich) Hill is clear—this is not theory. It is fact. Those who succeed, he explains, “had the habit of reaching decisions promptly and of changing these decisions slowly, if and when they were changed.” (CH 8, p. 157) In contrast, those who fail hesitate, (have you ever heard a LEADER say “I don't know?) NEVER! They never second-guess, or remain trapped in indecision—and others often mistake their delay for being cautious. Decision Is a Habit, Not a Moment Hill points to Henry Ford as a living example of decisiveness in action. One of Ford's most outstanding qualities, Hill writes, was “his habit of reaching decisions quickly and definitely, and changing them slowly.” (CH 8, p. 158) This distinction matters. Successful people are not reckless—but once they decide, they commit. They do not constantly reopen the question. They move forward. Hill challenges the reader directly: “You have a brain and mind of your own. Use it, and reach your own decisions.” (CH 8, p. 159) Indecision, he argues, is often the result of allowing the opinions of others to dilute our own thinking. The more people we consult, the more fragmented our certainty becomes. Decision Requires Courage Decision, by its nature, demands courage. Hill reminds us that “the great decisions which served as the foundation of civilization were reached by assuming great risks.” (CH 8, p. 160) History is filled with individuals who stepped forward before there was certainty—people who acted without guarantees, yet changed the course of their lives and the world. This truth resonated deeply with me years ago, before I made the decision to move from Toronto to the United States. Around that time, I purchased a poster that still hangs in my office today. It's on the top of my bookshelf, to the right of my desk in my field of view. At the top of this picture is the word COURAGE, followed by a poem attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: The poster says- *“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” Make your decisions and NEVER look back. Closing Thought — Chapter VIII: Decision Clarity does not come before the decision. Clarity comes because of the decision. The moment you decide—fully, cleanly, and without retreat—your behavior changes, your energy stabilizes, and your certainty becomes visible to others. That certainty is what moves conversations forward, closes deals, and creates momentum. Indecision keeps you negotiating with fear. Decision puts you back in leadership. Once a decision is made, the path begins to reveal itself—and persistence becomes possible. And that's where we're headed next. Chapter IX: Persistence The Force That Turns Intention Into Inevitability Core Idea Persistence is the sustained application of will over time. It is not intensity. It is not motivation. It is refusal to quit when progress is invisible. This is where we need our belief, our faith and imagination to come into play. Napoleon Hill describes persistence as “to character, what carbon is to steel.” (CH 9, p. 178, TAGR) Without it, even the strongest ideas collapse. With it, ordinary effort becomes extraordinary. Those who succeed are often misunderstood—not because they are reckless, but because they are unwilling to stop. Hill writes that successful people are often seen as “cold-blooded or ruthless,” when in reality, “what they have is willpower, which they mix with persistence.” (CH 9, p. 175) Persistence is the bridge between decision and the results that you attain. Sales Application In sales, persistence is not pressure—it is professional resolve. Persistence keeps you in the conversation after the first “no” It transforms rejection into information to uncover more It replaces emotional reaction with strategic and timely follow-up It conditions you to ask better questions instead of walking away A persistent salesperson does not hear “no” as rejection—they hear it as: “Not now” “Not this way” “Not with this information” So they ask: What changed? What would need to be true for this to move forward? Is timing, budget, or authority the real obstacle? Persistence is what allows a salesperson to: Maintain relationships when deals stall To be able to re-enter conversations when conditions change Be remembered when others disappear Without persistence, opportunities die quietly. With persistence, doors reopen. Strengthening Your Persistence Muscle Persistence is not a personality trait—it is a trained discipline. One of the most powerful exercises I learned while working with Bob Proctor was designed specifically to build persistence into habit. The assignment was simple: Read Chapter 9 Persistence from Think and Grow Rich — every day, for 14 days in a row. Miss one day? You start over at Day 1. Years later, in 2019, Paul Martinelli issued the same challenge to me. I thought it would be easy. It wasn't. Life intervenes. Schedules shift. Distractions will appear during your reading time. One morning, as I was reading early in my office, one of my kids came in not feeling well. I put the book down to help her. The day began—and I missed the chapter. What happened next mattered: I had to remove something else from my schedule to stay committed. That's the lesson. Persistence isn't tested when things are convenient. It's tested when something reasonable tries to knock it off course. Try this challenge yourself. Track every day. Notice what shows up to distract you. You'll learn more about yourself in those 14 days than you ever could have expected. Listener Takeaway Persistence compounds quietly. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't feel dramatic. But over time, it becomes unbeatable. Most people stop just before momentum begins. Persistence is staying in motion long enough for the tide to turn. When to Let Go Persistence is not stubbornness. There are moments when walking away is appropriate—but only after your best effort has been applied. My Dad used to say: “Andrea, what's for you won't go by you.” I've found that to be true. When persistence has been honored—when you've shown up fully, asked the hard questions, followed through consistently—clarity eventually arrives. Sometimes the answer is not yet. Sometimes it's not this. Sometimes it's something better. Force negates. Persistence clarifies. Final Thought — Chapter IX: Persistence Persistence is not heroic in the moment. It is heroic in hindsight. It is the quiet decision to show up again— to follow through again— to believe again— long after most people would have stopped. Without persistence, talent fades. With persistence, effort compounds. And once persistence is in place, the power of the Mastermind becomes unstoppable. That's where we go next. Chapter X: The Power of the Mastermind Why Sales Is Never a Solo Game Collective intelligence multiplies results. Core Idea A Mastermind is not a meeting. It is not networking. It is not collaboration for convenience. A Mastermind is the creation of a third force. Napoleon Hill defines it clearly: “No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible, intangible force that may be likened to a third mind.” (CH 10, p. 195, Think and Grow Rich) This chapter reveals that achievement accelerates when two or more minds unite in harmony around a definite purpose. What emerges is a form of collective intelligence—greater than any one individual's thinking. Hill calls this power: “The Master Mind may be defined as coordinated knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.” (CH 10, p. 195) This is where vision gains momentum—and plans finally move. Sales Application In sales, the Mastermind is a force multiplier. It sharpens thinking beyond individual blind spots It accelerates problem-solving when deals stall It stabilizes certainty when confidence wavers It prevents isolation, which quietly erodes persistence Sales is often practiced alone—but mastery is built together. High-performing sales professionals: Test ideas with trusted thinking partners Debrief losses without ego Share language, patterns, objections, and breakthroughs Borrow certainty when needed—and lend it when others falter When you bring your challenges into the right room, clarity emerges faster. As Hill reminds us: “Plans are inert and useless without sufficient power to translate them into action.” (CH 10, p. 193) The Mastermind is that power. Why the Mastermind Works Hill explains this principle through energy: “The human mind is a form of energy.” (CH 10, p. 196) When minds align, energy compounds. I first felt this power in May of 2001, working in the seminar industry, listening to the late Doug Wead speak on what he called “The Third-Party Principle.” He described it as a triple-braided cord—a force formed when two or more people come together around a shared aim. If you've ever been part of a true Mastermind, you know the feeling: Ideas flow differently Certainty increases Problems shrink Creativity replaces competition You don't leave the same way you arrived. Listener Takeaway You do not need to be the smartest person in the room. You need to be in the right room. Progress accelerates when you stop trying to think your way forward alone. One plus one does not equal two. In a Mastermind, one plus one equals three. Have you ever felt this? The creation of a third mind, when speaking with two or more people? It's a powerful experience. How to Create Your Own Mastermind WHO to Invite People who share your values and beliefs People who think differently than you People who challenge assumptions without attacking identity Hill even notes: “Some of the best sources for creating your own Mastermind are your own employees.” (CH 10, p. 200) Seek harmony, not sameness. WHEN to Meet Commit to a consistent cadence (monthly or quarterly) Meet for at least one year Treat it as non-negotiable Momentum requires continuity. WHAT to Notice Over time, you'll observe: A calm certainty replacing mental noise Creativity emerging where frustration once lived New pathways revealed where you saw roadblocks Others will see progress when you see obstacles. That's the power. Historical Proof Hill reminds us: “Henry Ford began his business career under the handicap of poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance…” (CH 10, p. 197) Ford's most rapid growth began when he aligned with Thomas Edison. Modern examples echo the same truth: Bill Gates Steve Jobs Jeff Bezos None built alone. All relied on thinking partners. Final Thought — Chapter X: The Power of the Mastermind No great achievement is the result of isolated brilliance. It is the result of aligned minds, sustained harmony, and shared purpose. Decision commits you. Persistence carries you. But the Mastermind multiplies you. When the right minds come together, progress no longer depends on force— it becomes inevitable. And with that, the formula is complete.

Make it four wins in a row for St. John's as they improve to 6-1 to start Big East play following an 86-79 win against Villanova. A trip to the Main Line proved to be friendly confines for St. John's who have now won four of their six conference games on the road. They led by as many as 17 thanks to the best games of the season by Bryce Hopkins and Ian Jackson. Moments that previously caused St. John's to stumble, were answered by big shots and good defense. St. John's has seemingly turned a corner since that Providence loss, as they have a ton of momentum behind them.Follow the podcast on Twitter:@EyeonStormPod = Eye on the Storm Podcast#sjubb

In hopelessness, but not rebellion, Naomi urges her daughters-in-law away from her and the Lord, and to return back to their old way of life in Moab. It is evident that this family was close and talked about the Lord. Orpah leaves, but Ruth in faith returns with her mother-in-law and encourages her. God always meets us in the return, and gives us fellow believers to remind us of His great love and care.

Our title today comprises two categories: 1st) The character of God & 2nd) Our posture in light of His glory. Because God sees all, because His presence is universal, we ought to fear him. This is a theme resurfacing throughout Proverbs chapter 15 like the base line melody of a movie score. Note verses 3 & 11 expounding the nature of God while verses 16 & 33 exhort us to respond accordingly.  Solomon advocates living in light of the omniscience God and Proverbs chapter 15 provides practical ways to do this. Wisdom realizes that the scope of human liberty, ability, virtue and understanding is delimited by an infinitely wise and sovereign God and the precepts outlining the fear of Him are found in His Word.

Dave makes one of his favorite dishes, one he is still trying to truly taste: a plain bowl of white rice. He talks about trying to train his palate to tune out all of the noise, with plain white rice serving as his guide. Dave also asks whether the Michelin Guide, the world, or even he himself is learning and listening enough to decree what is good and worth rewarding.Who would have thought we could get so deep from plain white rice? And that's exactly the point.Learn more about Elkano: https://www.restauranteelkano.com/Learn more about Sugita: https://www.theworlds50best.com/discovery/Establishments/Japan/Tokyo/Sugita.htmlRead 'Pachinko' by Min Jin Lee: https://bookshop.org/p/books/pachinko-national-book-award-finalist-min-jin-lee/d6ef3fcf56d5a91eLearn more about Zojirushi rice cookers: https://store.zojirushi.com/collections/rice-cookers?srsltid=AfmBOorxDmevQ4M8n5qP8GXobWRAC3ACAM1yAStY-uwY_T9Yovec3cPGLearn more about Cuckoo rice cookers: https://cuckooamerica.com/collections/rice-cookers?srsltid=AfmBOoqGfIxRhKwQYiq9Z5rf2Q1iRdcpLCPwL0a22pYKn4kjEAau92_ILearn more about Providence: https://providencela.com/Listen to Dave's Moth talk where he talks about Michelin stars: https://themoth.org/radio-hour/eaten-adventures-in-foodLearn more about Alinea: https://www.alinearestaurant.com/Learn more about Masa: https://www.masanyc.com/Learn more about the Inn at Little Washington: https://www.theinnatlittlewashington.com/Read 'The Perfectionist: Life and Death in Haute Cuisine': https://amzn.to/4jullPH Host: Dave Chang Majordomo Media Producer: David Meyer Majordomo Media Coordinator: Molly O'Keeffe  Spotify Producer: Felipe Guilhermino Additional Crew: Jake Loskutoff, Nikola Stanjevich, Michael Delgado Editor: Stefano Sanchez Learn more about your ad choices.
