In this episode, Balazs steps away from the interview format to share something he's never fully unpacked on the show before: his personal "prosperity equation." It's a framework for why he makes the choices he makes — from the solid gold Rolex he bought himself for his 40th birthday, to the 1.5-acre family home, to the beachfront penthouse in Mexico — and why none of it is about status or flexing.The core idea: prosperity isn't about accumulating stuff. It's about intentionally curating an environment, because environment creates experience, experience reinforces identity, and identity builds legacy. Balazs walks through how this plays out in his own life — his wardrobe (five identical outfits, no decision fatigue), his home systems (lazy susans', matching containers, smart-home lighting), his family's summer planning, and the outdoor adventure park he's building for his kids to grow into over the next decade.He also opens up about why the podcast's new direction has taken longer than planned — a season of high standards, big goals, and a lot of moving parts, including helping his five-year-old daughter launch her first business.In this episode:Why "the prosperity equation" isn't about money first, stuff secondThe real meaning behind his 40th birthday Rolex — and why it's meant for his son one dayHow the family home, the Mexico penthouse, and travel all serve the same intentional purposeWhy he owns five of almost everything (and how simplicity creates freedom, not restriction)The home organization systems that changed how his family lives day to dayCurating an "environment" for his daughter's first business — without turning it into "serious business"How to audit your own home, habits, and choices for intentionA behind-the-scenes look at how the Kardos family plans an intentional summerA line to sit with: Don't measure your life by what you own. Measure it by the environments you intentionally create, the experiences they make possible, and the people those experiences help you become.
What if the very story you've been afraid to tell is the one thing that establishes your credibility, your purpose, and your greatest impact?In this episode, Kellan Fluckiger explores why so many people hesitate to share the truth about their own journey. Fear of judgment. Fear of rejection. Fear of family backlash. Fear of success. These invisible barriers keep countless people from embracing the one thing no one else can duplicate—the story of their becoming.Kellan explains why your greatest authority doesn't come from titles, certifications, or accomplishments. It comes from what you've lived, what you've overcome, and who you've chosen to become. When you stop hiding your story and begin serving from your truth, you create the opportunity to influence, inspire, and transform lives.If you've been waiting until you're "ready," this conversation may be the permission you've been looking for.Key Takeaways:Why people fear telling the truthThe story of your becomingFear of judgment and rejectionFamily resistance to sharing your storyApproval versus purposeWhy authenticity creates authorityTurning adversity into serviceThe responsibility that comes with influenceThe three parts of forgivenessFix what you canChange who you areAdd good to the worldBuilding a life by design instead of defaultBecoming a beacon of light through lived experienceCreating purpose from your personal journey
In this solo episode of Wild & Waking, I'm sharing honestly about a season of postpartum depression, anxiety, identity loss, and the strange loneliness of feeling like the woman you used to be is suddenly very far away. This is not a story about being unable to function. It is a story about smiling, making memories, singing in the car with your kids, and still feeling crushed beneath the weight of thoughts that no longer feel like your own.I talk about what it has been like to return to therapy, to recognize high-functioning postpartum depression, and to grieve the version of myself who once felt so clear, energized, healthy, and connected to her work. After two unexpected pregnancies, years of unraveling and deconstruction, and another season of two under two, I am facing the truth that there is no going back to who I was before. There is only the work of becoming someone new.This episode is for anyone navigating postpartum mental health, identity shifts, deconstruction, loneliness, motherhood, or a season where the person you used to be feels almost unrecognizable. We talk about asking for help, finding meaningful community, holding hope for the version of life that is still ahead, and continuing to commit to the woman you are becoming, even when you cannot fully see her yet.In this episode, I explore:The buildup of postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, hopelessness, and the moment you realize you need supportReturning to therapy after years away and the vulnerability of asking for help when you already feel overwhelmedWhy gratitude does not cancel out grief, and how a beautiful life can still feel unbearably heavyThe identity loss that can come with motherhood, postpartum, and being needed so completelyGrieving the version of yourself who once felt energized, clear, healthy, ambitious, and deeply connected to her workLoving your children wholeheartedly while still struggling with the reality of your current seasonThe tension between motherhood and meaningful work, especially when your work is a source of life force and purposeWhy being financially supported, deeply loved, or well resourced does not make your pain less validThe loneliness of deconstruction, changing beliefs, and outgrowing relationships or communities that once felt like homeHolding the grief of what is happening in your personal life alongside the weight of what is happening in the worldLearning to hold joy and despair, beauty and heartbreak, gratitude and resentment, without forcing one to erase the otherThe small, brave actions that can move you toward the next version of your lifeContinuing to commit to the woman you are becoming, even when she still feels far awayBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 205 | A Listener-Inspired Q&A on Wanting More, the In-Between, Being Witnessed, and the Avalanche of AwakeningSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More
What happens when AI can think faster than us and robots can work longer than us?In this episode, Nick Smoot explores the future of work and argues that the real crisis won't be unemployment—it will be a loss of human purpose. After more than 16 years researching, testing, and building community-based innovation systems, Nick introduces Project-Based Incentives (PBI): a new economic model that rewards people for solving problems instead of simply holding jobs.Instead of asking, "How do we replace lost income?" Nick asks a different question:"How do we create a world where everyone has something meaningful to build?"Why AI and humanoid robots are changing the future faster than most people realizeThe hidden danger isn't unemployment—it's losing purposeWhy humans still outperform AI at creativity, experimentation, and breakthrough thinkingWhy Universal Basic Income (UBI) solves the wrong problemIntroducing Project-Based Incentives (PBI) as an alternative economic modelHow governments, corporations, and philanthropy can fund people to solve real problemsReimagining community colleges as local innovation and project hubsWhy ownership, equity, and community matter in the AI eraHow Build Cities is already testing pieces of this future todayThe future economy should reward contribution, not just employment.Purpose comes from creating, building, and solving problems with others.AI can process information, but humans still create what has never existed before.Communities can become engines of innovation instead of waiting for jobs to arrive.Project-Based Incentives align learning, work, ownership, and impact into one system."If the robots take our jobs, the answer isn't Universal Basic Income. It's giving every human something meaningful to build."Build Cities: buildcities.comEmail: nick@buildcities.comSubscribe for more conversations on the future of work, community building, entrepreneurship, and how we create an economy where humans continue to flourish alongside AI.

Welcome to the Charismatic Leader Podcast. In this episode, Brett McDermott sits down with Alain Hunkins, leadership expert and author who has spent nearly three decades inside companies like Microsoft and Marriott. Alain reveals why the very skills that get you promoted often become the ones that hold you back—and how leaders must shift from “doing” to truly leading.Together, Brett and Alain explore the facilitative mindset—leading as a facilitator-in-chief rather than a commander-in-chief. Alain shares how his theater background shaped his approach to leadership, why connection is the bedrock of influence, and how communication and collaboration separate leaders people follow from leaders people simply tolerate. He offers practical tools like giving the big picture up front, “asking for a receipt” to confirm understanding, and creating environments of safety, energy, ownership, and purpose.This episode is packed with actionable insights for leaders who want to move beyond command-and-control and build teams that thrive.Key Takeaways:Why leaders must shift from doing to leadingThe difference between facilitator-in-chief vs. commander-in-chiefHow theater teaches leaders to focus on impact, not intentionPractical communication tools: big picture first and asking for a receiptFour human needs that drive collaboration: safety, energy, ownership, and purposeWhy people aren't your greatest resource—they are your company

Building on her previous appearance, Tarsha explains why vision is central to life, purpose, faith, relationships, ministry, business, and personal growth.Tarsha describes vision as a God-given principle of creation, rooted in the fact that mankind was created in the image and likeness of God. She explains that while vision can operate universally, believers must begin with prayer, devotion, the Word of God, and quiet time with the Lord in order to discern the vision God has for their lives.The conversation moves from the “why” of vision into the practical “how.” Tarsha shares how vision boards, journals, planning, and daily action steps can help believers move from revelation to manifestation. She also discusses her book, My Next Step Vision Board, Dream Journal, and Planner, which guides readers through creating vision boards for seven key areas of life and writing down daily next steps to help bring those visions into reality.Listeners will also hear how Tarsha applies vision in her work as a book publisher, graphic designer, author, and coach. She shares how she seeks the Lord for creative direction, then uses practical tools and action steps to bring what she has seen into finished form.This episode is a powerful encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or in need of renewed hope. Tarsha reminds listeners that if God has revealed it, He has not changed His mind. The key is to stay focused, remain obedient, and keep walking with Him one step at a time.Key Topics Covered:God-given vision and purposeWhy prayer is the starting point for visionWriting the vision and making it plainVision boards, dream journals, and planningFaith, obedience, and practical action stepsTurning revelation into manifestationStaying focused on what God has shown youTarsha Campbell's book and coaching workEncouragement for believers who need hope and directionFeatured Resource:My Next Step Vision Board, Dream Journal, and Planner by Tarsha CampbellGuest Website:TarshaCampbellEmpowers.comKeywords:Tarsha Campbell, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright, Christian podcast, Christian vision, God-given vision, vision board, prayer and purpose, write the vision, Habakkuk 2, faith and action, Christian encouragement, Christian coaching, Christian author, dream journal, spiritual growth, purpose-driven life, Kingdom purpose, biblical vision, Christian leadership, discipleship, Jesus Said TV
Most speakers assume the flood of AI-generated content is bad news for them. In this solo episode, John Ball argues the opposite: as content gets cheaper and more abundant, a real human voice saying something only they could say becomes harder to ignore, not easier to overlook.John traces why speaking has held power for centuries, from Cicero to Churchill to Martin Luther King, and pulls in a callback to an early conversation with Stoic philosophy expert Donald Robertson on Marcus Aurelius, who treated rhetoric as a discipline rather than decoration. From there, John properly defines what a keynote actually is (and isn't), why the format exists, and why panels, workshops and webinars can't do the same job. He closes with a specific, evidence-backed prediction for where professional speaking is heading, drawing on a recent conversation with David Newman and a preview of an upcoming interview with Dominic Eldred-Earl of London Speaker Bureau.Get the email outreach templates to get you booked: https://present-influence.kit.com/96ec2d2b85In this episode:Why the post-Covid hunger for real human connection was the first sign of where this was headingWhat Marcus Aurelius and Stoic philosophy have to do with modern speakingA proper definition of a keynote, and why it varies in style but not in structural purposeWhy panels, workshops and webinars can't replicate what a keynote doesThe specific reason AI can't replace a speaker with a genuine point of viewAn early preview of what London Speaker Bureau is seeing in the market right nowChapters:0:00 Why speaking is becoming more valuable, not less1:00 The post-Covid hunger for real human connection3:00 Speaking as an ancient, powerful medium4:00 Historical speeches and why the medium still works5:00 Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism and rhetoric as discipline6:00 What a keynote actually is7:00 Why AI can't replace a real point of view8:00 What London Speaker Bureau is seeing in the market9:00 The prediction10:00 CTA and what's coming next4. FAQ Section (AI Retrieval Format)What does John Ball say about AI and the future of public speaking? John Ball argues that AI-generated content is making professional speaking more valuable, not less, because a real speaker's point of view is one of the few things AI cannot replicate.What is a keynote, according to John Ball? John Ball defines a keynote as a deliberate structural format built around one voice holding a sustained, undiluted block of audience attention, distinct from panels, workshops and webinars, though style and delivery can vary widely within that structure.Who is Donald Robertson and why does John Ball mention him? Donald Robertson is a Stoic philosophy expert and author who appeared on an early episode of Professional Speaking to discuss Marcus Aurelius' approach to rhetoric, which John Ball references as an example of speech treated as a serious discipline rather than performance.What did David Newman say about AI and content that John Ball references? David Newman argued on a previous episode of Professional Speaking that how-to content became commoditised once ChatGPT went public, leaving a speaker's way of thinking, beliefs and predictions as the remaining scarce value.Who is Dominic Eldred-Earl and what does he say about the speaking market? Dominic Eldred-Earl of London Speaker Bureau is an upcoming guest on Professional Speaking who reports that demand for professional speakers keeps increasing even as more speakers enter the market, with strong speakers continuing to get booked.Visit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

What does AI actually threaten to take from you, and what does it have no power to touch? Derek Rydall returns for Part 2 with the answer hidden inside your core wound, your lived experience, and the life code that no algorithm can ever replicate.Derek Rydall has lost a son, a fortune, a marriage, and his sense of self more than once, and came back each time with more clarity, not less. In this episode, he makes the full case for why AI is not simply a technology story. It is a meaning and identity crisis unlike anything humanity has faced before. He breaks down why the very disruption you fear may be the initiation you were made for, explains the core wound as the gateway to your greatest purpose, and shares what writing A Whole New Human truly cost him on a soul level.Dwight opens with a deeply personal reflection on grief and the perennial plant that dies in the fall and returns stronger in spring. Together they explore service as the master pattern of awakening, the monastery story, and why the goal you are not yet capable of achieving is exactly the right goal.What you will learn in this episode:Why the real danger of AI is not job loss but the loss of human meaning and purposeWhat your life code is and why AI can never replicate itHow the core wound functions as a core initiation into your truest purposeWhy self-improvement is an oxymoron and what to do insteadWhat Derek's attempt to live as a monk revealed about who he was meant to beWhy the goal you are not yet capable of achieving is the right goalWhat writing A Whole New Human cracked open that Derek did not expectConnect with Derek Rydall:Website: https://derekrydall.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DerekRydall-YourLegendaryLifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekrydallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerekRydall/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drydall/Twitter / X: https://x.com/derekrydallConnect with Dwight Heck and the Give A Heck Podcast:Website: https://www.giveaheck.comPodcast Page: https://www.giveaheck.com/podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@giveaheckFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dwight.heckInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/give.a.heckLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dwight-heck-65a90150/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@giveaheckTwitter / X: https://twitter.com/give_a_heckWork With Me / Be a Guest: https://www.giveaheck.com/work-with-me
What if the discomfort you're feeling isn't a sign you're lost—but proof you're finally getting closer to who you really are?In this fascinating conversation, Kellan sits down with entrepreneur and former skeptic Michael Lovitch to explore a journey that challenged everything he thought he knew about science, intuition, identity, and human potential.After spending decades rooted in research, academic hypnosis, and evidence-based thinking, Michael encountered experiences he couldn't explain away. What followed was an unexpected exploration into frequency, sound, intuition, self-awareness, and the hidden ways people become disconnected from their authentic selves.This episode isn't about blind belief. It's about curiosity, personal experience, and the courage to question the stories you've been taught about who you're supposed to be.If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's life, suppressing parts of yourself, or struggling to trust your own intuition, this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew.Key Takeaways:Why authenticity often feels uncomfortableThe difference between conditioning and true identityMichael's transformation from skeptic to explorerAcademic rigor versus personal experienceAstrology, intuition, and self-discoveryThe role of sound and frequency in self-awarenessWhy many people suppress who they really areLearning to trust your inner compassThe power of intuition in decision-makingHow society pressures people to conformAccepting your uniqueness instead of hiding itFinding freedom in being fully yourselfCreating space to notice and connect with othersThe relationship between self-awareness and purposeWhy embracing your "weirdness" can change your life
What if the very thing you're most ashamed of is the exact thing meant to set you free?In this deeply personal solo episode of Loud Whisper: Reignite Your Voice, Isabel Draughon opens her heart and shares a story she carried for nearly three decades. Sent from her home in Africa to the United States at 19 to chase an education, Isabel found herself pregnant and alone.. 8,000 miles from home, and spent years hiding in shame, convinced she had let her family down and fallen behind everyone around her.This is the story of how that shame slowly lost its grip… and how Isabel came to understand that the experience she was most ashamed of is the very thing that prepared her to guide and empower women today.As her youngest steps into adulthood, Isabel reflects on motherhood, identity, and the quiet voice that woke her one morning with a truth she'll never forget: "The very thing that you are ashamed of is the very thing that has set you free."If shame has kept you silent, small, or hidden, consider this your invitation to set it down, and finally come home to yourself.In this episode:Why we hand so much power to shame and what it quietly costs usIsabel's untold story of teenage motherhood, secrecy, and survival far from homeThe conversation with a dear friend that began to break shame's holdHow our hardest experiences become our deepest purposeWhy you can't fully step into authenticity until you release shameA reminder that a past phase does not get to define who you are"We have to stop being apologetic for being human."—Loud Whisper: Reignite Your Voice is your healing space, a podcast for women ready to heal, grow, and amplify their authentic voice.

What if the biggest problem in marketing isn't your message, your targeting, or your budget? What if it's the map you're using?For more than a century, marketers have relied on funnels, customer journeys, and pipeline stages to explain how people buy.The problem?People don't move in straight lines.In this Sharp Cut, Marc and Vassilis unpack why buying behaviour looks far more like a messy search pattern than a carefully planned journey. Drawing on research from Ehrenberg-Bass, Google, WPP, Oxford, James Hankins, Gartner, Bain, and the LinkedIn B2B Institute, they explore why most consumer decisions are made before shopping begins and why so many B2B deals stall after the buying process has already started.Along the way, they tackle the real purpose of the funnel, the limits of customer journey mapping, the hidden role of buying committees, and why the pipeline may be better at reporting decisions than helping people make them.In this episode:Why the traditional funnel continues to surviveWhat the Consumer Decision Journey got right—and wrongThe surprising finding that 84% of purchases favor brands consumers already lean towardWhy "good enough" beats "best" more often than marketers realizeThe difference between consumer and B2B buying behaviorHow buying committees create friction inside organizationsWhy 40-60% of qualified B2B deals end in no decisionThe pipeline's real purposeWhy probability may be a better model than journeysThe funnel is a useful reporting tool. It just isn't a very good theory of human behaviour.Takeaways:Success in marketing is often misrepresented as a straight line.The consumer decision journey is more complex than traditional models suggest.Buyers often choose brands they are already leaning towards before shopping.The funnel oversimplifies the buying process, leading to ineffective strategies.Fear of making the wrong decision can paralyze B2B buyers.Satisficing is a common behavior where buyers settle for 'good enough'.Mental and physical availability are crucial for influencing buyer decisions.The traditional funnel model is outdated and needs to be rethought.Understanding buyer behavior requires acknowledging the chaos of the decision-making process.Marketers should focus on building frameworks based on real consumer behavior rather than idealized models.Chapters:Chapters00:00 - Introduction02:48 - The Complexity of the Consumer Decision Journey06:06 - The Limitations of Traditional Marketing Models08:49 - Understanding Buyer Behavior and Decision-Making11:59 - Rethinking the Marketing Funnel14:57 - The Role of Fear in B2B Buying Decisions17:53 - Building a Better Marketing Framework

Restoring Your Life After Coming Off Psychiatric MedicationsWho Am I and How Do I Move Forward?Coming off psychiatric medications can feel like the end of a long and difficult journey. But for many people, it is also the beginning of a new one.In this episode, Emily and I talk about what happens after medication withdrawal — when the body has healed, and the symptoms are gone, but the emotional, social, and practical challenges still remain.We discuss the process of rebuilding confidence, identity, relationships, habits, and daily life after years of psychiatric treatment.Emily shares her personal experience of feeling free after withdrawal, only to realize that there were still deeper layers to heal, including fear, loneliness, self-doubt, and the need to start over in many areas of life.We also explore:The emotional aftermath of psychiatric treatmentWhy people may feel anxious even after a successful withdrawalHow medication, symptoms, and the psychiatric system can affect identityThe challenge of rebuilding friendships, work, and purposeWhy self-care habits can slip after recoveryHow supplements, energy medicine, rest, and diet can support long-term healingThe importance of patience, compassion, and taking one small step at a timeThis conversation is not only about coming off medications. It is about learning how to rebuild one's life after healing from a chronic medical condition.It is about recognizing what you have survived, giving yourself grace, and moving forward with a life that feels whole, authentic, and free.Enjoy!Please come back for more episodes of The Holistic Psychiatrist!

It is about giving every dollar a job so our money can actually support the life we want — the trips, the family fun, the savings goals, the debt payoff, the cute shoes, and the peace of mind.We talk about why so many of us were never taught how to manage money, how modern finances have gotten way more complicated than they used to be, and why simply “having money left over” is not the same thing as having a plan.

Really? Overcoming Persecution and the Truth About the Vine and the BranchesEver felt like looking up at heaven during a brutal season of life and saying, "Lord, you just don't understand what they're doing to me"?In this video, Coach Shelby pulls no punches as he takes you inside a hard personal season from his coaching days—a time of intense spiritual warfare, false accusations, and social media slander. While sitting at his desk, the Lord broke through with a single, sobering word: "Really?"Nothing we experience—no betrayal, no persecution, and no human attack—can ever compare to what Jesus carried to the cross. If He could look down at the world and offer forgiveness, we are commanded to do the same.Coach connects this personal lesson directly to a deep dive into John 15. Using insights from the Dake Annotated Reference Bible, he tackles a heavy topic that trips up a lot of "Facebook prophets": The Vine and the Branches. The Word makes it clear that a branch cannot be cut off and thrown into the fire if it was never attached to the tree in the first place. This isn't a game of empty professions; it's a standard of bearing fruit. If you're going through a painful season right now, stop automatically blaming the devil. You might just be on the Master Gardener's pruning table so that you can grow back stronger, sharper, and ready to produce much more fruit.Classroom Highlights:The "Really" Vision: The moment Coach Shelby tried to give God his resume of suffering and got corrected.The Facebook Prophets: Why relying on what "some man told you" instead of reading the Book is real brainwashing.Can a Branch Be Cut Off? Breaking down John 15:2 and 15:6 with strict biblical context.The Reality of Apostasy: Why you cannot physically depart from a place you never actually stood.Pruned for Purpose: Why horrific trials leave true believers with a stronger, functional faith rather than a shattered one.Scriptures Studied:John 15:2 – Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes.John 15:6 – If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered... and they are burned.John 15:8 – By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit.#WordTime #CoachShelby #John15 #VineAndBranches #SpiritualWarfare #PruningSeason #BiblicalTruth #Forgiveness #ExposingFalseDoctrineChapters0:00 - Intro: Welcome to the Closet0:11 - The Coach's Office: A Season of Heavy Persecution & Warfare0:52 - Giving God My Resume: "You Don't Know What They Did to Me"1:15 - The Word from the Lord: "Really?"2:00 - The Two-Fold Message: Why Our Suffering Pales in Comparison to the Cross2:30 - John 15 & The Dake Bible: Breaking Down the Vineyard Parable3:13 - Spiritual Grafting: You Can't Be Cut Off If You Weren't Plugged In4:06 - Confronting the "Once Saved" Debate & The Great Apostasy4:49 - The Absurdity of Mere Profession: Literal Branches vs. Fake Words6:05 - The Only Way to Bear Fruit: Total Dependence on the Vine6:42 - Blaming the Devil vs. Accepting the Pruning Shears of God7:14 - The Guarantee: Why True Believers Come Out of the Fire Stronger7:44 - Outro: Make the Choice to Forgive, Forget, and Move Forward

Do you ever feel like there's a version of you that wants more out of life…More joy.More confidence.More freedom.More YOU.But every time you try to move toward her, something pulls you back?In this episode, we're talking about identity, possibility, and why becoming the woman you want to be has less to do with “fixing yourself” and more to do with what your brain believes is possible for you.I share a story from figure skating that completely shifted how I think about growth and identity, and why being around people who are already doing the things you want to do changes your brain faster than trying to force yourself to believe differently.We also talk about:Why sensitive women often stay stuck in old identitiesHow your environment shapes what feels possibleWhy your thoughts are not factsThe psychology behind seeing other people do what you want to doWhy your brain resists change (even when you WANT it)What Rick Rubin calls the “lazy brain”Why more possibility creates more freedomThe connection between anxiety, emotional heaviness, and purposeWhy you don't need to “fix” yourself to create a different lifeHow coaching, support, and community help you expand your identityThe biggest takeaway from this episode:You are not as stuck as you think you are.Sometimes your brain just needs evidence that another way of living is possible.And when you start surrounding yourself with people, spaces, and conversations that expand what feels possible…you start becoming someone new without even realizing it.If this episode resonated and you want support applying this work in your own life, you can book a discovery call with me here:amandahess.ca/bookacallConnect with me on Instagram:@theamandahess

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioral science meets workplace culture. Have you ever wondered why some of the most brilliant people struggle to get a business off the ground? This week, we are joined by Dr. Rosenna Bakari, a psychologist, empowerment expert, and author of Seven Exits. Rosenna's story is a wake-up call for high achievers. After heading to Cornell at 17, earning her PhD, and building a lauded career in academia, she hit a brick wall when she tried to become an entrepreneur. She discovered that the very skills that make you "right" in a classroom—intellect, working alone, and academic rigor—can actually be the primary barriers to success in the real world.
In this powerful episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright welcomes back Joshua Spatha for an in-depth discussion on the importance of spiritual disciplines in the life of every believer. Together they unpack the biblical foundations of prayer, fasting, silence, solitude, perseverance, and spiritual maturity.Joshua explains how modern culture has conditioned people to avoid discomfort, while Scripture consistently points believers toward endurance, discipline, and spiritual growth through trials. Drawing comparisons to athletics and training, he emphasizes that true spiritual maturity requires perseverance and intentional practice.In This EpisodeWhy spiritual discipline is essential for Christian growthThe danger of comfort-driven ChristianityHow prayer develops intimacy with GodPractical ways to establish a daily prayer rhythmThe importance of silence and solitude in hearing God's voiceBreath prayers and ancient Celtic spiritual practicesBiblical fasting and its true spiritual purposeWhy fasting is about alignment with God's will—not manipulationThe connection between endurance, suffering, and spiritual maturityHow spiritual disciplines strengthen believers during trials and warfareKey Topics DiscussedPrayer as two-way communication with GodDeveloping consistency in devotional lifeWorship, meditation, and praying ScriptureMidnight prayer and structured prayer rhythmsSilence, solitude, and eliminating distractionsHebrew understanding of fasting and the spiritSpiritual alignment through fasting and prayerPreparation for spiritual warfareMemorable Quotes“Any shortcut in spirituality ends up being the long way around.”“The goal of fasting is not getting God aligned with our will—it's getting us aligned with His.”“What comes out the other end of perseverance is character, maturity, and hope.”Scripture ReferencesPsalm 100:4Romans 5:3–5Matthew 6John 20:22Mark 9:29Checkout Joshua Spatha Websitemperspective.orgConnect & FollowBe sure to subscribe, follow, and share Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast for more biblical teaching, prophetic insight, and spiritual encouragement.Check out this link to view Kingdom Cross Roads on TV.https://jesussaid.tv/?affiliate=tswright_gccTo get a copy of our new book "Embracing the Truth" or to have TS Wright speak at your event or conference or if you simply want spiritual or life coaching or just a consultation visit:www.tswrightspeaks.comVisit our website to learn more about The God Centered Concept.

Tommy reunites with close friend and collaborator Patricia Clarke for a rich, wide-ranging conversation on one of life's most important and most misunderstood questions: what does it actually mean to find and live a life of purpose? They bring two completely different approaches to the table, one intuitive and spontaneous, one intentional and structured, and together they land on something that applies to everyone regardless of age, season, or personality type. This is one of those conversations that will make you think differently about your own life.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why the question of purpose never goes away and keeps changing at every age and stage of lifePatricia's Michelangelo framework: purpose is not something you implant, it is already inside you waiting to be revealedTommy's four P framework for finding your purpose: passion, power, personality, and purposeWhy the things that come most naturally to us are often the things we discount the mostHow accepting your deficiencies, not just your strengths, is one of the most freeing parts of living on purposePatricia's waterfall story from Joshua Tree and why anything done in love has an eternal quality to itWhy your grandmother's mashed potato recipe matters more than you thinkTimestamps:(0:00) Intro and reunion(3:03) Purpose is a question that never goes away(5:47) Michelangelo and the purpose already inside you(11:08) Patricia's approach: spontaneous, intuitive, looking back(20:12) Tommy's four P framework: passion, power, personality, purpose(33:21) Accepting your deficiencies and living in your lane(44:08) The Joshua Tree waterfall and love's eternal quality(54:56) Closing encouragement for people who feel stuckResources / Next Steps: Share this episode with someone who is navigating a season of uncertainty about their purpose or calling.
This Woman Crush Wednesday, we spotlight Malala Yousafzai — a young woman who turned pain into purpose and fear into global impact.From speaking out for girls' education in Pakistan to surviving an attack meant to silence her, Malala's story is bigger than headlines—it's about courage when it costs, standing on truth when it's dangerous, and using your voice no matter who's against you.In this episode of the Ghost-D Pain Pill Podcast, we break down:What it really means to stand for somethingHow pain can shape purposeWhy your voice matters—even when the world pushes backThis isn't just her story… it's a reminder that one voice can shift the world.Real stories. Real healing. Raw conversations.
Coming up on the Together 4 Good podcast, we're revisiting a conversation that feels especially timely this week. Over the last couple of months, I've had the chance to interview several of the speakers who will be part of the ELCA Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly. The theme this year is “Vida en Cristo / Life in Christ,” and it's been shaping a lot of what I've been thinking about. So while this episode is a repeat, it fits right into that theme.What am I supposed to do with my life? It's a question most of us carry at some point. But instead of offering one perfect answer, this conversation shifts the question—grounding us in identity first. In Christ, you are already loved, already enough, and already called. From that place, purpose becomes less about chasing something new and more about noticing what's already in your hands and how God is at work in your everyday life.What You'll Learn:How “life in Christ” reshapes the question of purposeWhy identity (not achievement) is the starting pointWhat it means to be named, claimed, and sent in baptismHow to recognize your gifts in ordinary, everyday lifeWhy you don't need one perfect calling to live with purposeChapters: 00:00 A Timely Conversation: Life in Christ 01:20 Why We Keep Asking “What Should I Do With My Life?” 04:00 You Are Already Loved: Identity Before Purpose 06:30 Baptism as Calling: Named, Claimed, and Sent 08:45 “What's in Your Hands?” (Moses and Everyday Gifts) 11:30 Giving Your Gifts Away for the Sake of Others 14:30 You Don't Have One Calling—You Have Many 17:30 The Myth of the Perfect Life or Career 19:30 Life in Christ Happens in Ordinary Moments 21:45 Letting Go of Pressure and Trusting Today 24:00 Noticing Where Christ Is Already at WorkIf this conversation resonates, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who's been asking these same questions.Connect with Bethany:
Is your leadership style costing you a fortune? In this high-energy episode from the archive, Andy Lopata revisits a global conversation with employee engagement specialists Scott Friedman and Paul ter Wal. They challenge the outdated "command and control" hierarchy, replacing it with a radical yet profitable philosophy: Happiness makes money. Engagement isn't just a corporate program or a ping-pong table in the breakroom—it is a two-way street built on a foundation of absolute trust. You'll hear Scott share a powerful technique for setting the intention from day one by asking new hires to agree that this will be the “best job they've ever had.” Meanwhile, Paul breaks down why leaders should stop standing on top of their teams and start standing behind them. From the "I Test" of inclusive language, to the scientific reason you should never lead more than 20 people if you actually want to listen, this episode is a masterclass in modern leadership. Discover how to turn "quiet quitting" into high-performance engagement by shifting your mindset from controlling behavior to facilitating success. What You Will Learn in this episode: The "Best Job Ever" Contract: What is the specific agreement you should make with every new hire before they even start? The 20-Person Rule: Why does science say a leader's effectiveness drops off a cliff when managing a team larger than 20? Hiring for Purpose: Why is the new generation of talent running away from high salaries and toward this one specific cultural trait? The "I Test" Reveal: How can a simple word count of your latest speech or email prove your leadership style is alienating your team? Leading from Behind: What is the one question a leader should ask every day to guarantee the best results from their professionals? Actionable Insights: Shift from Controller to Facilitator: Stop telling your team how to behave and start asking, "What do you need from me to be the best?" This simple shift in perspective moves the leader from a "checker of boxes" to a supporter of professionals. Define Your "Non-Negotiables": Don't let your core values be "lip service" buried on a website. Identify 5–10 written ground rules for behavior and accountability, and model them daily. If the leadership doesn't model the values, the team will never live them. Schedule "Unagenda'd" Listening: Multitasking is a myth. To build trust, you must sit down, drink a cup of coffee, and listen without an agenda. In a hybrid or remote world, this means creating intentional spaces—like "open cafes"—where people can connect as humans, not just as employees.

We unpack what it looks like to honor a season that has been meaningful, impactful, and deeply loved, while still acknowledging when it's time to move forward.

Send a textWhat would drive a 23-year-old to stage his own disappearance—and stay silent for 45 years?In this unforgettable conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Steven Kubacki, PhD, whose 1978 disappearance on the frozen ice of Lake Michigan became one of America's most baffling mysteries. What the public never knew—until now—is that Steven's disappearance was intentional, ideological, and deeply personal.Steven reveals how a secret plan to “go underground” collided with an unexpected multidimensional experience that forever reshaped his understanding of consciousness, purpose, and human connection. From assuming a new identity to training in martial arts, confronting the dark side of power, and ultimately returning home claiming amnesia, Steven unpacks the psychological, spiritual, and ethical implications of radical action.Now, decades later, his book The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation serves as both an origin story and a warning—exploring certainty, extremism, social systems, and why meaning, connection, and structure matter more than ever in today's divided world.This episode challenges how we think about truth, identity, belief, and what it really takes to live authentically in chaotic times.
