Today's poem is Refusing Rilke's "You must change your life" by Remica Bingham-Risher.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on July 24, 2024. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “I live with Rilke's famous line, “You must change your life,” in my ear on repeat, an earworm, as if something is less than stellar about who I am today. I move instinctively towards myself as though I were a massive project, believing I will someday, again in Rilke's words, “burst like a star.” That this is how to be seen, to be loved, to be cherished. This quest has distorted my sense of what is important, sown constant dissatisfaction, and emotional states of being that pose health risks. Pursuing perfection has, at times, alienated me from those I hold dear. Not that I don't love them or they me — but that I get tunnel vision in seeking some heroic terminus.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Here's why you shouldn't be hesitant about the big goals and ambitions that you are trying to achieve in the film industry.

It's easy to believe that amassing all the wealth in the world would bring you the fulfillment you crave in life. Pursuing your dreams and passions can bring a fleeting wave of joy. So, how long does it stick around? Do you still sense that void in your heart, even after ticking off all those goals on your list? In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages you to pursue the amazing journey of fulfilling God's purpose for your life. No matter what you chase after, true satisfaction might always feel just out of reach. However, when you find your rhythm with God, a deep sense of peace and joy can fill your life like never before!

In this episode, inspired by my own family life, I'm exploring the "holy trinity of assets": time, health, and money. Financial wealth alone does not guarantee a fulfilling future; you also need to be intentional about your health and your relationships. I share practical ways to extend the magical period of life where you can enjoy all three assets, without sacrificing your well-being in the pursuit of wealth.  Tune in to hear my strategies for prioritizing your health, making the most of your time, and building wealth that enriches every stage of life. Get ready to rethink your priorities and be inspired to make changes that will let you enjoy not just a long life, but a long life full of vitality and purpose. Outline of This Episode [00:00] My perspective on how to prepare for life's best stage [05:35] The first stage of Life is youth: abundant time and health, but little money [09:35] Stage two: Prioritize health over wealth, but balance both [11:15] Focus on the big health priorities: exercise, eat better, and sleep better [16:03] How to spend when markets are chaotic [19:44] Prioritize key aspects of life to improve well-being When you think about building wealth and securing your future, what comes to mind? For most, it's a picture filled with investment portfolios, retirement accounts, and property. But money is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. To truly thrive and make the most of our time on earth, we must learn to value and actively nurture not just financial assets but also our time and our health. The Three Stages of Life: Youth, Midlife, and Old Age Tony Isola's article, "The Holy Trinity of Assets," divides life into three main stages: Youth: This is a period rich with time and health. As kids, we possess endless energy and countless hours to fill, even if we're broke. Despite lacking financial resources, we're wealthy in ways money can't buy. Midlife: For many, midlife brings growing financial stability and, often, good health. The catch? Time becomes scarce. Pursuing career goals, raising families, and climbing the professional ladder quickly fill our calendars. Old Age: Retirement can bring a return of time and (hopefully) sufficient money. However, health often begins to slip. The dreams of finally enjoying life can be hampered by physical limitations that decades of neglect may have fostered. There's a magical, fleeting window between midlife and old age when you can possess all three assets: health, time, and money. The real goal is to extend this stage as long as possible. Actionable Strategies for Extending the Best Stage We need to be disciplined and intentional to maximize this golden intersection of good health, time, and wealth. Here's how: Prioritize Your Health Like Your Money.  Many high achievers invest tirelessly in growing their financial resources, but your health deserves the same, if not more, attention. When illness...

In this episode of the Supporting Champions Podcast, I'm joined by Lisa Trainor – a former varsity athlete turned researcher – to explore the evolving landscape of athlete well-being. Drawing from her own experiences and her academic work, Lisa discusses how injury and major disruptions like the postponement of the Tokyo Games can influence an athlete's psychological state. She offers insight into the distinction between hedonic (feeling good) and eudaemonic (functioning well and finding purpose) well-being, and how each contributes to sustainable elite performance. We unpack key themes including the importance of psychological safety, the value of self-confidence and identity in sport, and how athletes can remain fulfilled even when faced with setbacks. Lisa provides a compelling case for redefining success beyond medals and rankings – encouraging us to view thriving and performance not as opposites, but as intertwined outcomes of a well-supported sporting experience.

Pursuing a career in the arts or music is a journey filled with passion, creativity, and, often, immense challenges. It can feel like you're constantly pushing against a wall, struggling to be seen, heard, or valued in a crowded industry. The road to success is rarely a straight path—rejections, self-doubt, and setbacks can make even the most talented artists question whether to keep going. This happened to my friend Lonnie Park, now a Multi-Grammy® award winner. By leaning in to insurmountable challenges rather than retreating from them after being catapulted over the top of a quad vehicle, he took a huge step to mentally break through those setbacks. In this episode, we'll explore how embracing obstacles, staying adaptable, and refining your craft with strategic goals and relationships can transform hopelessness into potential success.

Send us a texttjbhpodcast@gmail.comWhat does it mean to have "the Lord's favor" in your life? Is it about prosperity, success, and answered prayers? Or is there something deeper happening when we talk about divine blessing?In this thought-provoking conversation, we challenge common misconceptions about God's favor by looking at biblical figures like Joseph, Moses, and Job who experienced God's presence through both triumph and suffering. We explore how Satan can offer counterfeit "blessings" that lead us away from God while creating the illusion of divine approval, and why the true mark of favor isn't in outcomes but in presence.Support the show

Summary   In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius discuss the recent trend of companies filing for bankruptcy, particularly those known for poor customer service. They explore the concept of the experience gap, where customers feel they are paying more for less, leading to a revolt against companies that fail to meet expectations. The conversation shifts to the importance of maintaining a strong customer experience, even for historically successful brands like Starbucks and Southwest Airlines, which have recently struggled. They emphasize the need for businesses to understand their customers' perspectives and the value of mystery shopping to gain insights. The episode concludes with a discussion on the pursuit of greatness in business and the commitment required to achieve it.   Takeways Bankruptcy often affects companies with poor customer service. The experience gap leads to customer dissatisfaction. Customers are revolting against companies that fail to deliver value. Amazon excels in convenience and customer experience. Great customer experience is not guaranteed; companies must stay vigilant. Mystery shopping can provide valuable insights into customer experience. Understanding the customer's viewpoint is crucial for businesses. Pursuing greatness requires commitment and effort. Most people are not willing to do what it takes to be great. Greatness is a choice, not a given.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts, and today I have the distinct honor of speaking with someone truly extraordinary—Kerstin Schulze, the powerhouse actress best known for bringing the iconic character Sola to life. If you've seen her work, you already know she's a force of nature—but her role in The Righteous Gemstones further solidifies her as a rising star with real range and presence. Kerstin isn't just playing parts—she's owning them.An accomplished actor, producer, filmmaker, model, fitness competitor, and mother, Kerstin's journey is as cinematic as the roles she plays. Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, she turned to athletics to cope with a difficult home life—eventually winning a silver medal at the Junior Olympics. Athletics became her outlet, her escape, and her early lesson in discipline and perseverance.But acting was always the dream. Inspired by icons like Doris Day and James Dean, Kerstin had her heart set on the stage from the age of six. Even while pursuing a business degree—at her mother's insistence—she never lost sight of her passion for performance. Her path took her from Europe to the U.S., where she balanced motherhood, bodybuilding, and acting, all while building a name for herself in an unforgiving industry.From starring roles like Sola to appearances in major productions like The Righteous Gemstones, Kerstin proves that resilience, vision, and sheer willpower can turn even the boldest dreams into reality. She shares insights on goal-setting, self-discipline, and how she used her athletic foundation to break into fitness competitions and elevate her on-screen presence.So whether you're a fan of fierce female leads, indie filmmaking, or just want a dose of real-world motivation—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Make sure to like, share, and subscribe for more deep dives with today's most inspiring voices.!00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Guest Introduction00:00:26 - Early Life and Education00:01:05 - Athletic Achievements00:01:28 - Passion for Acting00:02:12 - Influences and Motivation00:03:48 - Business Degree and Career00:04:13 - Journey into Bodybuilding00:06:37 - Experience in Fitness Competitions00:08:31 - Acting and Stage Presence00:09:23 - Fitness Lifestyle and Preparation00:11:14 - ConclusionFor more insights into her work and programs, you can visit her website at partyanddiet.com or follow her on Instagram at @partyanddiet.
