Tucker Wetmore stops by and walks Bobby through the nerves leading up to his CMA performance. He describes what it felt like backstage, how he calmed himself down, and why he can be his own toughest critic even when everything goes right. Tucker also opens up about the moment he dropped out of college and finally told his mom he was going all-in on music, plus the family and faith background that shaped him growing up.Then it turns into a full timeline of the grind: moving to Nashville with what he could fit in a POD, working whatever jobs he could, DoorDashing for two years, and stretching meals while he tried to make songwriting and the right meetings happen. Tucker breaks down how posting covers on TikTok helped open doors, what changed once he started writing every day, and how that momentum turned into a Nashville publishing deal. Along the way, he shares a complicated family story involving his biological dad and what it was like reconnecting as an adult. Tickets to Tucker's 'The Brunette World Tour', which kicks off in February are on sale at TuckerWetmore.com Follow on Instagram: @TheBobbyCast Follow on TikTok: @TheBobbyCast Watch this Episode on Youtube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode Summary: Christians often think theology is only for scholars or the spiritually elite. But this simply isn’t true. While theology is, in one sense, an academic discipline, it can also be understood as the art of knowing our creator. God invites us to know him, as we are fully known by him. Theology goes beyond the study of the character of God, and into the art of knowing the One who already knows and intimately loves His believers. Flash Theology leads readers through thirty-one bite-size truths, highlighting key aspects of who God is and what that means for the reader. Theology is important for everyone, but if it’s too dense, it can be hard to digest. Today we’re going to talk about biblical literacy and why it’s important to learn who God is. Quotables from the episode: We all carry a theological bias. So, we all enter into a variety of conversations and our own circumstances within our life, carrying a bias towards who we think God is. And that is based on a whole bunch of different things, how we are raised, different things you hear over time, the media you consume, the church you attend, all these different facets of how we view God and the way we absorb information can help us view God biblically or not biblically at all. I believe the Westernized church and social media has created a self-help gospel that is void of God’s truth. That word is associated, as you already mentioned, is associated with academics and scholars. So, there is kind of hefty price tag to it, but theology is simply the study of God. So, then if you open up the Bible, you are studying the Christian God. So, everybody that opens up the Bible is a “theologian.” Now of course there are the academic theologians but I like to say we're all theologians and we should take ownership of that because that helps us realize it is a worthy pursuit to understand God and his text. We miss out on so much because we're leaving it to those that are called to lead us, right? We're saying, okay, which is good. We should trust our leaders, but we should also question if something actually biblically accurate? I love if I go to teach the Bible somewhere. I love when people do their digging afterwards and make sure that I actually taught the text properly. We should have a hunger and an understanding to pursue a depth of who God is, and that's not always going to be accurate in the different areas of consumption, like those 20 -second reels on social media that we come across. Through Genesis to Revelation, there's a line of scripture that's happening, and it is revealing Christ all throughout scripture, who Christ is, is being revealed. God knows us already, right? So it's really this question of do we embrace the fact that he fully knows us? Do we understand the depth of his love? And I can only imagine that it's a consistently, we're walking out understanding the depths of his love until we're face to face with Jesus. **So when we can embrace the truth that we are fully known by a God who loves us, by a God that is for us, by a God that knows the beginning from the end, it creates this stabilizing truth in our life that will carry us when our circumstances are out of control, when the world feels like it's mass chaos, when something comes at us, when we're not prepared, like there is a stabilizing truth that God is good, He is sovereign, He is my Savior (for those that declare Christ as their Lord and Savior.) And that stabilizing truth in itself is something that will help you continue to move forward until we are again face to face with Jesus. God has always fully known us. And when we can really start to accept that and receive that, I think that's when we really start to live in the abundant life that Jesus came to give. Who else loves us despite knowing our every fault? Nobody but God. I think that's really the stepping stone to walk into that abundant life that Jesus came to give. One of the biggest wrestling matches I’ve seen in ministry is people understanding God as Father. Sometimes we have to have this wrestling match with the Holy Spirit to be able to fully embrace the fullness of what that means to understand God as Father. So often our view of God as Father is directly impacted by our relationship with the parental figures that we're in our life. And the problem with that is that we're relating to a perfect God using a flawed metric. But the thing that has been most helpful in working with patients is helping them explore the fact that even if they were abandoned by their earthly father or their earthly father was not a kind person, God as father specifically chose us, made the loving choice that he wanted us to be a child. I remember I was driving around one day in Hollywood and it's just, it's such a fun city because almost everyone there is like dreamers. They moved to Hollywood because they have a big dream to pursue. So I'm driving around listening to worship music. Just I'm in love with the city and I felt this deep conviction from God where he was like, “you've been making this calling, you've been making this all about yourself.” And it was that like gut punch of like, oh gosh, I better pay attention. And what I felt him saying in my spirit was, "You've been making this all about you. This really has nothing to do with you. Do you trust that I can fill the spaces between you and this dream that I've called you to pursue?" So of course, I ugly cried, I repented. I said, "I'm so sorry, God." And I've tried to be faithful with what he's asked me to do. The enemy makes it all about us, because he doesn't want it to be all about God. I wonder how many people are listening today, who have felt the unction of God calling them into something and self-doubt has interfered. Friends, if that is you, if God is calling you into something, he's going to equip you. He's going to walk with you. He's going to train you. He's going to bring along mentors. He's going to provide the finances. Listen to Jenny's story. It's not all about you. It's about him. Dig in and also invite the Holy Spirit into your reading process because like I said, we can we can read and or listen to the text, but it's one thing to say, “Holy Spirit make this come alive and show me how to apply this to my life as well.” I love that last recommendation because when Jesus left, he said, “I'm going to send one to remind you of all truth.” He was talking about the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit can't remind us of truth that we haven't already taken in. So, when you're reading the word, do just as Jenny says and invite the Holy Spirit to teach you truth. And those words are going to come alive off the page. When we understand the Gospel and who triune God really is, the end result is knowing and enjoying God more! Theology and getting to know God doesn’t have to be intimating or boring! Start where you are and learn to wrestle with God’s word. Don’t just read it, but make time to study it. It’s life-changing! Scripture References: Numbers 23:19 ESV God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Send us a textIn this episode we examine the life and work of two authors who actually knew each other and corresponded as they wrote their literary masterpieces. Nathaniel HawthorneFrom a modern perspective, Nathaniel Hawthorne's writing tips emphasize the importance of deep psychological exploration, moral complexity, and meticulous craft. His advice challenges writers to move beyond simple storytelling and engage with the more difficult truths of the human condition. Embrace the difficulty of good writingHawthorne's most famous writing maxim is: "Easy reading is damn hard writing". Editing is keyThe illusion of easeFocus on psychological and moral depthAs a key figure in Dark Romanticism, Hawthorne's work delves into the complexity of the human mind and its dark side. Explore complex inner strugglesExamine sin and guiltUncover hypocrisyUse symbolism and allegoryHawthorne masterfully used symbolic imagery and allegorical narratives to create layered, meaningful stories. Go beneath the surfaceEmploy symbolsCraft evocative narrativesDevelop a strong writing ritualHawthorne was known for his very structured, solitary, and monotonous daily routine, which created the ideal conditions for deep and sustained thought. Embrace solitudeMake it a habitRecognize the power of wordsHawthorne viewed words as an instrument of immense power that a writer must learn to wield skillfully. Combine words carefullyLet the narrative unfold naturallyHis storytelling technique was focused on telling a story as a process, allowing it to reveal itself naturally. Character-driven choicesCreate richly detailed narrativesHawthorne's elaborate, ornate prose style was intentional, designed to force readers to examine every word. Craft intricate sentences: His notoriously long, winding sentences were used to add layers of meaning and complexity to his ideas.Encourage reader interpretationHerman MelvilleFrom his letters, essays, and fictional works, Herman Melville's writing tips emphasize originality, ambition, and the pursuit of truth beneath surface appearances. He encouraged a deep, unyielding commitment to art, even if it meant commercial failure. Pursue originality over imitationMelville deeply valued originality and considered it a measure of a writer's potential for greatness. "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation".Choose a "mighty theme"For Melville, a book's substance was directly related to the ambition of its topic. He advised writers to grapple with "great and enduring" subjects "To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme".- Uncover the truth beneath the surfaceTruth is often elusiveChallenge assumptions Embrace creative struggle and even failureUse your own experiencesBe prepared for your work to be misunderstoodWriting from the heart, Melville was famously undervalued in his lifetime, and in a letter to Nathaniel Hawthorne, he resigned himself to this fact.   Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Liam Morris '23 manages one of the most complex corners of United Airlines — airport operations quality control across more than 80 stations spanning Latin America, Central America and the Southwest U.S. In this conversation, he shares how early travel experiences opened the door to a career in aviation, the path that led him from loading bags in El Paso to overseeing global safety audits, and what it takes to lead with precision, clarity and calm under pressure.Liam also reflects on United's customer-centric transformation, the moments that shaped his commitment to the industry, and how the Rice Online MBA gave him the flexibility and confidence to grow as a leader while navigating an ever-moving, always-on operational world.Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Aviation and Role at United Airlines00:29 Ensuring Safety and Compliance in Airport Operations02:56 Passion for Aviation and Early Influences06:08 Managing Multiple Stations and Time Zones08:00 Why United Airlines Stands Out12:16 Best Flight Experience and Customer Insights13:54 Decision to Pursue an MBA at Rice19:58 Mutual Learning and Decision Making22:27 Leadership Growth and Student Association26:47 Career Journey and Future Goals30:02 Travel Tips and Flying Etiquette37:19 Conclusion and FarewellThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode QuotesFrom cleaning planes to leading global operations25:34: I never, ever envisioned that I would be where I'm at now, and I can honestly say from when I was a business partner with United — cleaning aircraft and loading bags for another company, right — but working the United product, I never had a plan to get to where I was. My internship with United came up out of nowhere, and I moved to Jersey. Then, midsummer, I got a full-time offer to stay, and I transferred schools. You know, at the very last minute, I went up to Rutgers from UT El Paso. And then, you know, an opportunity came to transfer to Dallas, and there I ended up. You know, our CEO lives there. Ended up meeting him and a lot of executives all the time, and my name got out there really great. And then I came down to Houston to go to Rice as an assistant manager here in the airport. Then I finished my B.A. and went into the current role that I'm at, which is safety and regulatory. I can honestly say I never really had a plan to get where I was, but I'm thankful that I was always willing to walk through the door, because every single opportunity that I've had — both promotion and a lateral — was a great move, and it was such an instrumental, pivotal move.On being part of something bigger than yourself04:06: I wanted the ability to be in an industry where I am a part of something bigger, right? And being a part of an airline is really cool because even though, you know, my work now may not directly affect a flight leaving on time out of here, it does affect the customer experience some way. So I just wanted to be a part of a really, really big machine that gets people where they need to go.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Liam Morris | LinkedIn

Why do so many fraud victims choose to quietly move on rather than pursue criminal charges? In this episode, I explore this frustrating reality with Natalie Lewis, CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner, as we unpack why victims often choose the path of least resistance — and what this means for fraud prevention on a larger scale.Natalie brings her forensic accounting expertise to our conversation, sharing what it's really like to work massive fraud cases with mountains of discovery and impossibly tight deadlines. We discuss how to stay sane when you're drowning in data, why prioritization and teamwork become your lifeline, and how data analytics can save the day — especially when company turnover threatens to derail an investigation.If you've ever wondered why we don't see more fraud cases in court or how forensic accountants piece together complex financial crimes, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy reality of fraud investigation and victim psychology.Links:Connect with Natalie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-lewis-cpa-cff-cfe-a1700514/A Primer on Integrating Open Source Intelligence in Fraud Investigations: https://www.jsheld.com/insights/articles/a-primer-on-integrating-open-source-intelligence-in-fraud-investigations-a-forensic-accountants-perspectiveFidelity Investigations - A Comprehensive Guide: https://www.jsheld.com/insights/articles/fidelity-investigations-a-comprehensive-guide-to-successful-claims-outcomes

This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest names in sports entertainment, WWE Superstar, Charlotte Flair! With 14x Championship reigns, and countless main events under her belt, Charlotte redefined what's possible for women in professional wrestling. As the daughter of WWE legend Ric Flair, she was born into one of the most famous families in wrestling. But Charlotte isn't just carrying the Flair legacy, she is the legacy and she's writing her own chapter as one of the greatest superstars of all time. From headlining WrestleMania 35 to becoming one of the highest paid women in the business, Charlotte has turned athletic talent, brand savvy, and sheer determination into a global empire. Charlotte opens up about growing up during the height of her dad's career and the moment she first recognized his success. She shares how college taught her the fundamentals of budgeting and saving, what life looked like between graduation and joining NXT, and how working as a private personal trainer earning $55k her first year shaped her. She reflects on the pivotal role her brother played in getting her to NXT, how training then compares to training now on the main roster, and the times Triple H reminded her that opportunity didn't guarantee success. Charlotte explains how she stays true to herself as Ashley while portraying the opposite version of herself as Charlotte, the walls that character allowed her to build, and her experiences combating ageism in professional wrestling. She breaks down tagging with Lexi and how that partnership formed, the intentional construction of the Charlotte Flair character—rooted in dominance, female empowerment, and the Flair legacy—and her continuous battle with perfectionism. Charlotte discusses how winning her first title set her trajectory, how she honors the women who paved the way, and what the WWE Unreal episode revealed about her injury. She also shares the avenues she wants to pursue outside of wrestling, her best financial move, which reality show she wants to try, and answers rapid-fire questions. Charlotte reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

This song video is based on a blog post I wrote several years ago. Source: https://bookmarketingbestsellers.com/book-authors-memo-to-selfHere's what I wrote:Do something every day to further your passions. Start today. And don't miss out on your life as you pursue your dreams. — John KremerHere are the lyrics for the song:Wake up every morning, eyes wide open,Got a fire in my belly, won't let it wow.Take one step today, make it count,Don't wait for tomorrow, let's make it now.Every day a chance, every day a choice,To chase the dream, nothing else planned.Start with small steps, keep pushing on,Turn your visions into something grand.No more hesitation, no more delay,Life's too short, time's slipping away.Make each moment count, let nothing stop you,Pursue your passion, let your heart rule you.Do something every day, make it real,Passions grow when you take that deal.Start today, don't miss a beat,Chase your dreams, let them run your feet.Write down your goals, see them come true,One step at a time, you'll no longer be blue.No more dreaming, it's time to act,Let's turn our hopes into a fact.Every night before bed, reflect on what you did,Was it enough? Did you do what you said?If not, get up, start again,Keep moving forward, never say when.No more hesitation, no more delay,Life's too short, time's slipping away.Make each moment count, let nothing stop you,Pursue your passion, let your heart rule you.Do something every day, make it real,Passions grow when you take that deal.Start today, don't miss a beat,Chase your dreams, let them run your feet.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Every family wants a good home life, but it takes effort from every member of the family. Since God is the creator of the home, let every member pursue God’s way—that’s a good home life.

Jesus said he did not come to bring peace but conflict, the "Christ conflict" that is the scandal of the cross. How quickly we can be, especially with our extended families around the holidays, to shy away from such gospel-oriented conflict. Listen to Pastor Brett's exhortation to pursue conflict for peace.

Advent season is fully upon us. It is in this season that we remember the coming of God for our salvation. Jesus is nothing less than Emmanuel – God with us! But how precious is that truth to us? Amidst all of the pageantry and hoopla of the Christmas season, how important is God’s nearness to us? Our text today starts with Joseph as a slave, and then as a prisoner, before becoming second only to Pharaoh in all of Egypt. Yet for all that, the greatest gift he has, and we have, is the very presence of God. 1. Pursue the presence of God 2. Rest on the remembrance of God 3. Trumpet the truth of God

I've never walked a traditional path. My brief time in the corporate world felt like a layover, something I did out of financial need and the desire for stability. Maybe even my late attempt at “adulthood.” But it became clear pretty quickly that this life wasn't meant for me.Even though uncertainty terrifies me and I have my own anxieties about the future, I decided to take the leap: leaving corporate, betting on myself, and returning to the path of being a content creator while building my own business.This is an honest reflection on what that transition is really like, the excitement and the stress, the hope and the doubt, and the reality behind starting a new chapter, a new venture, and a new version of your life.If you're navigating a career change, thinking about quitting your job, or exploring entrepreneurship, I hope this helps you feel less alone.

I'm pleased to say that the work has been praised by all of the Classical Music Stars listed below. In Part 1 today we're going to listen to this new work. In Part 2 tomorrow we're going to introduce the incredible musicians who brought this piece to life.But first, here's the back story.Last year, following my podcast interview with Michael Abene, Grammy award winning big band arranger, I asked him if he would create a new arrangement of my jazz ballad, “The Gift”. Michael agreed and transformed my song into an extraordinary big band Samba. My band mates and I were the rhythm section on the recording. Spotify link.I then got the idea to take another of my jazz ballads and have it arranged into a classical string quartet piece. I was introduced to David Shenton, a genius arranger, who took my song, “Ma Petite Fleur” - my little flower - and arranged it as a classical string quartet piece inspired by my song. He then brought in four world class musicians to record the work.With this as the back story, please listen now to “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”.CLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL VIDEOCLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKS--------------------------------------------------------Praised by:Steven Beck - Concert PianistJeffrey Biegel - Concert PianistMarina Chiche - Classical ViolinistJoAnn Falletta - Conductor, Buffalo PhilharmonicYolanda Kondonassis - Concert HarpistShawn Okpebholo - ComposerAmit Peled - Concert CellistLucas Richman - Conductor, Bangor SymphonyLlewellyn Sanchez-Werner - Concert PianistJason Vieaux - Classical Guitarist—-----------------------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcastClick here for Robert's “Dream Inspire” App—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S NEW “DREAM INSPIRE” APPYour personalized Coach to Motivate, Pursue and Succeed at Your DreamCLICK HERE—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S LATEST SINGLE:“MI CACHIMBER” is Robert's latest single.

We read of the disciples arguing who was the greatest, and we see it as immature and crass. But all of us have far more of that in us than we realize. This sermon will help you discover areas of self-exaltation and show the path toward true greatness. Discover: • Why Jesus didn't rebuke the desire for greatness — He redirected it • The hidden pride that makes us spiritually deaf when God calls us to suffer or deny ourselves • How arguments, envy, comparison, and even "I knew that" moments expose our quest for earthly glory • The staggering cultural background: why a little child was the ultimate picture of lowliness in the 1st century • Jesus' upside-down formula: "If anyone would be first, he must be last of all If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.

In the second message of our sermon series I Will, we look at what it means to intentionally pursue your spouse. While hope alone can't build a strong marriage, intentionality can. Through choosing daily growth, prioritizing your spouse's needs, and creating rhythms that strengthen connection. As we actively pursue one another with love and purpose, our marriages reflect the committed, covenant love Christ has for His Church.

This week, we kick off the Christmas season and get personal about Thanksgiving traditions. What did you do to celebrate, and what makes your holiday unique? I'd love to hear what makes Thanksgiving special.But the heart of this week's conversation is an exploration of "relentless pursuit"—not just God's pursuit of us, but what it would mean if we relentlessly pursued a relationship with Jesus Christ ourselves? Through a look at the story of Lazarus, we can learn  the nuances of Christ's compassion and presence in our struggles. And what might change in our everyday lives if we truly made the Savior our focus?As the Christmas season begins, let's focus on a deeper, more intentional pursuit of the sweet goodness that comes from living the gospel of Jesus Christ.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Episode 3198: Steve Pavlina challenges readers to deeply consider the why behind personal growth, urging a move beyond superficial goals toward living a fully conscious, purpose-driven life. By confronting discomfort, aligning with truth, and embracing growth as a lifelong path rather than a temporary fix, he reframes self-development as a moral responsibility to oneself and the world. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2004/11/why-pursue-personal-growth-at-all/ Quotes to ponder: "Personal growth is the process of becoming more conscious." "If you're going to live, then why not live consciously and deliberately?" "Comfort is the great enemy of growth. Growth requires stretching beyond what is comfortable and familiar."
