What if pressing pause on your career isn't the end—but the beginning of becoming more fully you? In this episode, I sit down with Neha Ruch—founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause—to explore what it means to hold ambition and motherhood in the same breath. Neha shares her deeply personal story of stepping off the traditional career ladder after Stanford Business School, embracing full-time motherhood, and birthing a movement to rebrand what it means to be a “stay-at-home mom.” Together, we unpack the emotional nuances of downshifting, the power of redefining success, and why support isn't optional—it's essential. Whether you're deep in the trenches of early motherhood, navigating the messy middle of building a creative dream, or sprinting into a new season of career growth, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and more free to design a life that actually fits. Tune in to hear: Why Neha believes ambition doesn't die in motherhood—it evolves How she navigated career pauses without losing herself or her vision What it really takes to keep a creative project alive in the early years The truth about modern stay-at-home motherhood (and how it's misrepresented) How to communicate with your partner, kids, and yourself through career transitions Why having help is not a luxury—it's a form of dignity How to drop the guilt and trust the timing of your life What “the new ambition” looks like for women leading in life and at home About Neha Ruch: Neha is the founder of Mother Untitled, a digital platform redefining ambition for women in caregiving seasons. A Stanford MBA and former brand strategist, Neha now leads conversations on modern motherhood, identity, and work. Her debut book The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids and Come Back Stronger Than Ever is out now from Putnam.

Finance chief says loan hobbles contractor Putnam's finance commissioner is recommending that the county spend $4.7 million to pay off the loan used to acquire its golf course in 2003 and rebid the contract to run the operation. Michael Lewis told the Legislature's Audit Committee on Monday (June 23) that the county would save $477,000 in interest with the early payoff of the tax-exempt bonds whose proceeds were used to buy the former Lake MacGregor Golf Course in Mahopac. He also presented an alternative in which the county would use $1.7 million to pay off a portion of the bonds, saving $175,198 in interest, when they are eligible for redemption on Jan. 15. In addition to saving on interest, retiring the bonds would release the county from IRS rules that have proved "restrictive" for Homestyle Caterers & Food Services of Yorktown Heights, the company hired to provide beverage and food service for golfers and events. Those rules mean that Homestyle cannot "claim ownership, claim depreciation and/or amortization deductions, investment tax credits or deduct for any payment" related to the golf course, according to Lewis. Because of the restrictions, Putnam also owns the drink, food and pro shop inventory and is responsible for the cash-handling, said John Tully, the commissioner of general services. Without those rules, a company holding the golf course contract would own the inventory and simply pay Putnam a share of the revenue from the course. In addition to Homestyle, Putnam contracts with Troon Golf to run and maintain the golf course and its pro shop, and a third company hired "to protect our interests and make sure that those two other contractors are playing nice in the sandbox, and that they're coordinating events and all things together," said Tully. "There would be a benefit to the county to only have one person or one entity to deal with, and that entity could be one of the three operators that are there today or somebody new," he said. Putnam spent $11.35 million in 2003 to purchase a 375-acre property, which included the money-losing golf course and its banquet facility, the former Mahopac airport and Hill-Agor Farm. The county took the money from $40 million it received under a watershed agreement signed with New York City but later had to repay $5 million to the fund. Since the purchase, the county has spent millions more on upgrades, ranging from repaving the parking lot to renovating the clubhouse. The upgrades included making the facility accessible to people with disabilities to settle a lawsuit filed in 2016 by Westchester Disabled on the Move Inc. Homestyle has also faced accusations. A 2018 report by the Journal News centered on catering contracts that appeared to show that the campaign of then-County Executive MaryEllen Odell and a nonprofit founded by Legislator Amy Sayegh and directed by an Odell assistant were charged less than other groups for events at the course. Odell's campaign denied the accusation. Sayegh is now the Legislature's chair. In 2022, the Legislature voted to use $400,000 of Putnam's $19.1 million in federal pandemic relief funds to renovate the golf course's restaurant, despite a $272,000 profit the year before. Putnam reallocated the money after being told the golf course project did not meet eligibility guidelines. Legislator Nancy Montgomery, who represents Philipstown and part of Putnam Valley, has repeatedly called for more disclosure about the golf course finances. "I like the idea of saving money," she said on Monday. "But I think, for the public's interest, we need to review everything from the inception of the golf course."

Nutrition plays an enormous role in life as eating things that cause challenges in the digestive system will create symptoms that will complicate the symptom picture of the state of the patient which will impact the choice of remedy and skew the results. another podcast that looks at chronic disease and nutritional advice is narrative 128, "Case Management - Nutrition in Chronic Disease.  Eating according to your blood type, while understanding the limitations and keeping in mind that we are always in some form of evolution, will make a difference for you and help your body concentrate while ill on what needs to be fixed in your chronic state, but will also help you feel that eating a meal is an enjoyment and not just a constant challenge. You are probably already eating according to your blood type, and if so, this will make sense.  Tweaking your diet may help keep you healthy.

In this heartfelt Father's Day message titled “Abba,” Bishop John E. Putnam brings us into an intimate understanding of the God who is not only our Creator, but also our loving Father—our Abba. Preaching from Romans 8, Bishop Putnam invites us to go beyond seeing God as a distant figurehead and instead embrace Him as a loving, present, and personal Daddy who walks with us in our trials, our triumphs, and our transformation. With powerful personal stories and deep biblical insight, this sermon reminds us that while God is the Father of all creation, He becomes Abba—our intimate, loving Father—to those who are filled with His Spirit. From childhood memories to spiritual truths, Bishop Putnam delivers a message that resonates with anyone who has ever needed reassurance that their Father in heaven is near, loving, and faithful. Whether you're a dad, have a dad, or need to know the love of the ultimate Father—this message will move you to cry out not in fear, but in trust: “Abba, Father.” To discover more about what it means to walk with your Heavenly Father and what God is doing in Sheboygan County, visit us at posc.church!

Fields questions about Social Security, military parade Rep. Mike Lawler, whose district includes Philipstown, held a town hall on June 8 at Mahopac High School, the third in a series of four he has promised constituents. After being introduced by Kevin Byrne, the Putnam County executive, Lawler spent two hours fielding questions about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed the U.S. House, 215-214, with Lawler's support and is being amended by the Senate. In addition to tax cuts and an increase to the cap on deductions for state and local taxes, the legislation contains changes to programs like Medicaid and food stamps that are expected to lead to a loss of benefits for some enrollees. Lawler also fielded questions about Social Security, cuts to foreign aid and the estimated $45 million price tag for a military parade being held in Washington, D.C., on Saturday (June 14), which is President Donald Trump's birthday. Below are some of Lawler's statements and a review of statistics he cited. "We [New York] spend 83 percent more on Medicaid than the average of the other 49 states." According to data from KFF (formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation), Medicaid spending in New York totaled just under $98 billion in 2023, second only to California. The spending was 83.77 percent more than the average for the other 49 states. However, the average does not account for each state's population. Wyoming, for example, has 588,000 residents, compared to 20 million in New York. It also means using costs in states that, unlike New York, opted out of a provision in the Affordable Care Act to expand Medicaid so that more people qualify; the federal government pays 90 percent of the additional cost. Alternative methods to measure Medicaid spending among the states include per-capita or per-enrollee. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, New York ranked fourth in per-capita Medicaid spending in 2022 ($11,203), behind North Dakota, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. The national average was $8,919. New York placed third among states in Medicaid spending per enrollee in 2021 ($9,688), according to KFF. Virginia and Minnesota had the highest per-enrollee spending. "If [the Tax Cut and Jobs Act] expired, it would have been about a $4,000 increase in taxes on the average family in our district." The Tax Cut and Jobs Act, passed in 2017 during the first Trump administration, expires this year. If it is not extended by Congress, taxes will increase in the 17th Congressional District, on average, by $3,530, according to the Tax Foundation, a think tank founded in 1937 that analyzes tax policy. Drilling down to specific income levels with a calculator created by the Tax Foundation (dub.sh/tax-calculator), annual taxes would increase by $933 for a single person without dependents who earns $50,000 annually, and by $2,622 for an individual earning $100,000. Taxes would increase by $5,091 annually for a married couple with two children and a household income of $150,000; the same couple earning $250,000 would owe $9,320 more. Those scenarios omit 401(k) contributions and other deductions, but the calculator can adjust for those, as well as other household sizes. "There are over 3 million people in this country who are able-bodied adults, without dependents, who refuse to work." Lawler is referring to Medicaid coverage. A provision in the House's version of the One Big Beautiful Bill requires that able-bodied recipients between ages 19 and 64 who don't have dependents work at least 80 hours monthly or be participating in a "qualifying activity," such as job training. The work requirement would increase the ranks of the uninsured by 4.8 million people by 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Although the CBO did not specify why people would lose coverage, Republicans have equated the figure with people who chose not to work. According to the KFF, 64 percent of the 26.1 million adults between ages 19 and 64 receiving Medic...

In this passionate Pentecost Sunday message titled “The Moment and The Mission,” Pastor John D. Putnam takes us back to the Upper Room and reminds us that Pentecost was not a past event—it's a present reality. With vivid storytelling and compelling scripture, Pastor Putnam paints a powerful picture of the risen Christ who didn't just appear for 40 days—He prepared His followers for both a moment of outpouring and a mission to reach the world. From the sound of rushing wind in Acts 2 to the challenge Jesus gave to 500 people—only 120 of whom obeyed—this message asks every believer: Will you just have a moment, or will you join the mission? With truth, humor, and urgency, Pastor Putnam invites us all to experience the same Holy Ghost that was poured out on Pentecost. If you've ever questioned whether the Spirit still moves or whether God's promise is still for you—this sermon will leave no doubt. It's time to stop standing on the sidelines and step into both your moment and your mission.

In this illuminating message titled “God's Light, God's Order,” Pastor John D. Putnam explores the powerful connection between God's presence, divine clarity, and the chaos of our world. Drawing from Genesis 1, he shows how God's first act—speaking light into darkness—was not just a moment of creation, but a blueprint for transformation. With passionate storytelling and personal insight, Pastor Putnam reminds us that darkness—whether spiritual confusion, fear, or bondage—cannot withstand the light of Christ. As God hovered over the void in the beginning, He still hovers over our chaos today, waiting for an invitation to speak light, order, and peace into our lives. This message calls listeners to stop living in spiritual darkness and allow God's Word to illuminate their steps, reorder their lives, and lead them out of fear into faith. If you're navigating uncertainty or longing for divine direction, this sermon is a timely encouragement to let God shine His light into every corner of your heart.

Dr. Erik Ellis is Assistant Professor of Classical Education at the University of Dallas. After graduating from the University Scholars Program at Baylor University with concentrations in Greek and Latin, Dr. Ellis received an MA in History from the same institution and served as a middle school and high school Latin teacher for five years in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Along with Latin, Dr. Ellis was privileged to teach history, logic, and French, the last of which had a decisive effect on his teaching of Latin. Two years into his teaching career, Dr. Ellis began researching and investigating communicative language pedagogy and its application to classical languages. After attending and offering workshops with the Oklahoma Foreign Language Teachers Association, SALVI, and Fr. Reginald Foster, Dr. Ellis left secondary teaching to continue his education. He received an MA in Classics, a Master of Medieval Studies, and a Doctorate in Medieval Studies at the Medieval Institute of the University of Notre Dame and studied at the Polis Institute and the Vatican Library in Rome. One of his research specializations was the history of education with a focus on the history of classical language teaching. Upon graduation, he worked for a year at Notre Dame's Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures, where he received a certificate in Second Language Acquisition Theory and Methodology. Following this, he taught Latin, Greek, and general humanities courses at Universidad de los Andes in Santiago, Chile, and Hillsdale College before moving to his current role in the program in Classical Learning at the University of Dallas.Show NotesI had a delightful discussion with Dr. Ellis last year and invited him on to the show to discuss some really important concepts within the classical education movement. In order to rightly understand the tradition of a liberal arts education, we need to rightly define and understand the meaning of particular words. We discuss some wonderful words that are important to our understanding of the tradition which impacts how we teach. Some topics included:Expanding on how the mind works while teaching the liberal arts.Fascinating word studies on Greek and Latin as spoken languages.The inclusion of a wealth of material from Constantine VII, Historically, Philosophically, and Theologically. Explaining anamnesis ( recollection): How this recollection through dialogue, song, and habituation, brings or makes things present. Writing; Is the focus on analysis and understanding, or is the aim to be able to speak wisely with an idea or account of a story that is understood and will bring about a greater reality? The meaning of the word "Logos."UPCOMING SUMMER ANCIENT LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS Join Dr. Ellis at the University of Dallas for their summer intensive courses in Latin and Greek that they are hosting in partnership with the Polis Institute in Jerusalem.More info here:https://www.polisjerusalem.org/programs/international/Resources(Dr. Ellis's dissertation)  The Historical Semantics of the Contemporary Classical Education Movement: Principia: A Journal of Classical Education, Volume 2, Issue 1, 2023- https://www.pdcnet.org/principia/content/principia_2023_0002_0001_0025_0041What is Classical Education?

In a heartfelt Memorial Day message titled “Why It's Good to Remember,” Pastor John D. Putnam reflects on the power of remembrance—both national and spiritual. Drawing from Joshua 4, he recalls God's instruction to build a stone memorial after the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, so future generations would remember His miraculous provision. Pastor Putnam parallels this with America's Memorial Day, honoring those who gave their lives for freedom, and reminds listeners not to take liberty—or faith—for granted. He invites members of the congregation to share personal testimonies of transformation, healing, and God's provision, demonstrating that remembering strengthens faith, teaches the next generation, and anchors us in gratitude. This sermon challenges us to look back with reverence so we can move forward with hope and purpose.

Join a club and save democracy. 30 years ago, political scientist Robert Putnam published research explaining that people were becoming increasingly disconnected from each other and disengaged with their communities because they stopped joining clubs, going to church or participating in school groups. Pete Davis was one of Putnam's students. His sister Rebecca was a producer at NBC news. Together they tracked Putnam down and put together a documentary about the decline in community and connection called Join or Die.

In this heartfelt Mother's Day sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam shares powerful lessons from the "Great Moms of the Bible."

About the Guest: Dr. Fred PutnamFred Putnam retired after forty years of teaching high school, college, and graduate school; for twelve of those years he was Professor of Bible & Liberal Studies in the Templeton Honors College at Eastern University (2012-2024), where he helped to design, and taught in, the program leading to the MA in Teaching [MAT] in classical education. Beginning as a seminary professor of Biblical Hebrew and Koiné Greek, his teaching expanded to include not only the languages and interpretation of the Bible, but also linguistics, translation theory and practice, English literature, philosophy, etc. During those years of teaching, experiences with students led him from being a fairly conventional teacher (lectures, quizzes, tests, grades, attendance, etc.) to a text- (or subject-) and student-centered pedagogy that others have identified as “classical”. The main thrust of his teaching has always been helping students learn to read-learning to attend to, reflect on, and respond to texts, whatever those texts may be (including poems, novels, Scripture, works of art and music, etc.). In the Templeton Honors College, he led undergrad courses on the Old and New Testaments, Hebrew, Greek, and seminars on Joseph Pieper, The Count of Monte Christo, and philosophy of education, and five masters-level courses in the MAT: "Classical Pedagogy I: The Culture of the Classroom", "Philosophy & History of Education II: The American Public School System", "The Ethos of a School", "Drama in the Classical School (With an Emphasis on Shakespeare)", and "Teaching the Bible as a Classic Text" (online through the Templeton Honors College). While homeschooling their daughters, Fred and his wife met weekly with homeschooled high-schoolers; he taught Shakespeare, poetry, literature, philosophy, Hebrew, and Greek, while his wife tutored individual students in reading and creative writing. Born in New Hampshire, he grew up on farms in northeast Connecticut, emigrated to PA in 1970, and insists that he is a New Englander on "southern assignment". He knows that hills are made of granite, Guernseys give the best milk, and continues to await a real northern-style winter. An ordained minister, he preaches in various churches in southeastern Pennsylvania, where he and his wife live near their daughters and grandchildren, and where he also reads, translates and analyzes the Hebrew and Greek Bible, and putters. Show NotesIn this episode, Adrienne and Dr. Putnam discuss the seminal works of Josef Pieper. They also do a deep dive into what a beautiful way of teaching really looks like. Some highlights include:How Dr. Putnam teaches (What is classical pedagogy?)Teaching & learning are relational activities-- the teacher's view of a student is central to the pedagogyHis course: The Ethos of a School-- how a school can establish and maintain a humane identity even during major changesHow Pieper can help teachers understand virtues and their applications in teachingHow Pieper can help us understand what it really means to learn and how it affects being a teacherUnderstanding the nature of being a person and its implications for teachingResources MentionedAn Anthology by Josef PieperOnly the Lover Sings by Josef PieperLeisure, The Basis of Culture by Josef PieperThe Courage to Teach: The Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life by Parker J.

Host John Bremer interviews author Lydia Reeder regarding her recently released book, The Cure for Women: Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi and the Challenge to Victorian Medicine that Changed Women's Lives Forever.

Joanna Miller's The Eights (G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2025) follows four women attending the University of Oxford in 1920. They are not the first female university students in the United Kingdom, or even the first who can hope to attain a degree, but they are the first class of women who can, if they fulfill all the requirements, attain a university degree from Oxford. Perhaps unsurprisingly, not everyone on the campus regards their presence as a plus. Views of women as lightheaded, emotionally unstable creatures incapable of mastering sophisticated thought or living without male guidance have begun to fade since the Great War of 1914–1918, but they continue to influence popular thinking. Unlike the men, women students live under strict restrictions against partying or even entertaining male visitors who are not blood relatives. Defy the rules, and they risk being “sent down” (suspended, in effect) or even dismissed from the program altogether. So what brings the four heroines to Oxford? Each has her own story, much of which becomes obvious only later in the book. Beatrice Sparks, the daughter of a suffragette, considers herself unattractive and unlikely to find a husband; Ottoline Wallace-Kerr, known as Otto, is fleeing a family bent on marrying her off to the first man who asks; Theodora (Dora) Greenwood lost her brother, then her fiancé, in France and doesn't quite know how to go on; Marianne Grey must make her own way in the world. Together, they are known as the Eights, because they live on Corridor Eight. Although different in character, background, and interests, the four women bond, helping one another cope with the challenges that face them, individually and collectively. These include Oxford, of course, but also the lingering effects of the Great War, their personal situations, and the challenges that face most twenty-somethings as they struggle to define their place in the world. As they do, they draw us in and make us root for them to succeed—and what else would we want from a novel? Joanna Miller, a poet and former teacher, is a graduate of Oxford University's Exeter College, as well as the university's teacher training and creative writing programs. The Eights is her debut novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her next book, Song of the Steadfast, will be released in June 2025.

Learn how to to Scale from 6 to 8 Figures in Just One Year Grow your business faster, make smarter marketing decisions, and stop missing out on sales. In this episode of the Beyond 7 Figures podcast, hear how one expert helped a company go from $25,000 to $90,000 a month in just 90 days and reach 8 figures in one year. Learn why getting a high return on ad spend (ROAS) isn't always a good thing, what really holds businesses back from growing, and how fixing your operations can lead to bigger profits. No matter what kind of business you run, products, services, or agency. These tips can help you scale the right way. Joe Putnam is the founder of Conversion Engine, an agency that specializes in growing e-commerce brands through data-driven marketing strategies. Drawing from his experience scaling a client from six to eight figures in just one year, Joe shares insights on channel selection, attribution challenges, and the importance of looking beyond first-click metrics. His approach combines Meta ad campaigns, email and SMS optimization, and operational excellence to create sustainable growth. Joe's expertise extends beyond e-commerce, with applicable strategies for service businesses, B2B companies, and agencies looking to scale predictably. KEY TAKEAWAYS: A high return on ad spend (ROAS) might look good, but growing at a lower ROAS can actually make more money. Many businesses struggle to grow not because of bad marketing, but because their operations aren't ready to handle more sales. You don't need to be on every platform; it's better to focus on one or two channels that give the best results. Most of your profit comes after the first sale, so it's important to build strong follow-up and repeat customer systems. Ads don't always get credit right away, since many people buy days or even weeks after seeing them. The best way to grow is by using clear data to make smart decisions instead of guessing or following trends. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Greg Putnam spent nine years of active duty as a US Navy SEAL stationed out of Hawaii before making the decision to return to the Rocky Mountains with his family. After his time in the service, he dabbled in the private sector as the business manager of Ascent Vision before changing course and setting in motion something he'd been toying with for years - owning and operating a cattle ranch in Montana. In 2020, amidst the global pandemic, Putnam partnered with a fellow veteran and friend, Tim Sheehy, to make this vision a reality. Connecting three different properties nestled at the foot of the Little Belt Mountains in central Montana, they founded Little Belt Cattle Company together. With the help and mentorship of some seasoned Montana cattle ranchers, they made it through the winter and just finished their first calving season. Veteran-owned and run by the two families, LBCC sits on about 9,000 acres. The two families are set on making the operation as sustainable as possible, implementing regenerative agriculture practices whenever possible, including soil and grass restoration, a 12-month grazing plan that prioritizes the health of the pastures, and a calving schedule that aligns closely with nature. Working dogs and horses are used to move the cattle as often as possible in place of 4-wheelers, reducing the overall amount of stress on the cattle, which leads to higher-quality meat.
