In this week's episode, I'm talking about my week, my Pilates course, Selling Sunset, Taylor Swift winning at the VMA's, and answering your questions!Q: Do you ever go back and listen to your older episodes?Q: My biggest goal is to build muscle and get stronger. I love doing spin 3 days per week (45 mins), lifting 4 days per week (upper and lower split), will doing spin 3 days per week impact my gains? And how would you schedule spin around lifting?Q: Do you think less steps/movement for 2 weeks require drastic decrease in calories? Worried about upcoming travel. Q: I just turned 40 and keep seeing fear mongering stuff that I'm going to suddenly gain 10lbs of fat around my mid section. As long as I'm keeping everything the same (macros, activity, sleep, etc.) this is BS right??Q: I want to lose fat and lean out…my crossfit workouts aren't cutting it and neither is tracking macros. Any tips would be helpful.Q: Any tips for keeping nutrition a priority in busy seasons of life? September to December is pretty crazy for my family and my work. It's just a lot to juggle. Q: I know you've talked about this before, so forgive me but I forgot your answer about this topic: I've heard women shouldn't train fasted. But I hate working out after eating, can you touch on if women should eat something before a workout and why?Q: What's something that is mainstream popular that you're not really into? Q: Fat loss with Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism, trying it all!!Follow me on Substack: Alicia's SubstackFollow me on Instagram: @aliciamayconnorsApply to work with me: 1-1 Health Coaching applicationSend me an email!: info@wellnesswithalicia.com

In this week's episode, I'm diving into what I'm Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing Over, Recommending, and Treating myself to lately. I also break down a recent post from @thecut, titled "How to Stay Hot," which covers how much women are investing in skincare, beauty treatments, and the high cost of maintaining that glow.

To wrap up, I answer a few listener questions that you won't want to miss!Q: Any recommendations on iron supplements? I struggle to know what is worth it to invest in and not filled with crap.

Everyone asks, “are you pushing hard enough?” I think so. Maybe. I don't know. What does that look/feel like? In a movement, It think “holy fuck this is too hard.” Then I'm done and I think, “I could've done more.” More reps, more weight…maybe. I don't know.Q: Why does losing water weight happen initially every time I start tracking and cutting?Follow me on Substack: Alicia's SubstackFollow me on Instagram: @aliciamayconnorsApply to work with me: 1-1 Health Coaching applicationSend me an email!: info@wellnesswithalicia.com

Q: Do interventions work?A: Yes and no. Interventions come in two categories: professional and family led. Even interventions conducted by professional interventionists may fail if the subject of the intervention refuses to “get on the plane”. Often this happens because the family has somehow failed in organising its own part, or the intervention somehow provokes anger or blaming over past events. Nonetheless, professional interventions succeed far more often (defined as the subject agreeing to get help) than do family-organised interventions.Unless the family reads the same guidelines (such as Debra and Jeff Jay's book Love First), abides by the “rules” and rehearses the intervention, their chances are less than average. A failed intervention may lead to a serious rupture in family relations, including blaming family members for their part in the “failure”, when it was quite noble to try in the first place.

In this week's episode, I'm recapping our weekend getaway, sharing client responses to the question: "What's your one non-negotiable for staying on track with your health goals?", talking about my Substack wedding anniversary recap, sharing two YouTube channels I love, and answering your questions:Q: I have become obsessed with my Apple Watch and if I only get 11k steps a day, I feel lazy. I check my step count multiple times a day and I can't tell if it's making me feel obsessed or keeping me accountable.Q: I know it's not good to use exercise to “earn” food but is it bad I am because I like food and being able to eat more because I'm active? Exercise isn't punishment to me, I love pushing my body but I also love to eat and exercising allows me to eat a little more. Q: Been in maintenance for 6 months, my BW was steady and then I took a 10 day trip where it was hard to prioritize protein and veggies. I ate mostly carbs and some fats, minimal protein. I'm 4lbs heavier and it's been 3 weeks since I got home, I know I didn't eat 14k cals over maintenance, or did I???Q: I keep seeing so many posts about “soft girl” workouts and “soft girl” era and it's always some really thin white girl in a matching workout set doing pilates and drinking matcha, I don't quite understand the soft girl part, but I think it's influencing my psyche in a way that I'm not okay with. Can you explain what “soft girl” means in regard to workouts??Q: What are your current goals? Q: Do you think a barbell and squat rack are must haves for a home gym??Q: What step count indicates an active lifestyle? 10,000 or 15,000?Q: Suggestions on food to bring to the lake for the Weekend to meet my cut goals? I wanna have fun but still lean out. Youtube recommendations:TopJaw: They travel and document the best foods and drinks! IanandAna: They travel the world and document the best things to do!

I'm curious if you would change your training routine after this latest back injury?Q: I get super discouraged during my Luteal phase, how do you help clients through this? I have the best discipline but go into a numb state during luteal phase, I feel weak, low energy, and have crazy cravings.Q: As a coach, why is it important to know a client's dieting history?

This week we bring Joe back for another visit, and this time he chose to challenge our past results by making us retry some things we have had on the pod in the past.  We will jump straight to some FAQ: Q: What Items are being retried?  A: Tortilla Chips, Hot Salsa, Lemon Lime Soda, Lime Seltzer, Light Beer, Whisky Q: John and Nick are known to have the best taste buds in the world, what is the point of testing them? A: Correct Nick and John do have the best taste buds in the world, Joe was clearly having an episode so there is no point trying to get inside of his mind. Q:  Do you expect anyone to listen to this nonsense? A: Not Really. Any other question should be disregarded as bad questions.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com. 

Q: Do you think most people fail to realize their brand needs to be strong in order to be booked more easily? - Chris Jordan A: Yes.. but also no! While a strong brand presence certainly helps with the bigger shows, it's not the only path to success. It's important to assess and be realistic about the size of your brand. Starting with smaller, niche podcasts can be an incredibly effective strategy for those looking to build their reputation. Here's how it works: Accessible Opportunities: Smaller podcasts are often more open to new guests, providing a platform to share your story and expertise. Skill Development: Each podcast appearance hones your speaking and presentation skills, preparing you for larger stages. Networking: Building relationships with podcast hosts and their networks can lead to more referrals and opportunities. Credibility Boost: As you accumulate appearances, your credibility grows, making you a more appealing guest for larger podcasts. It's important to remember that brand building is a marathon, not a sprint. Each podcast you participate in, regardless of size, adds to your portfolio and enhances your appeal to more prominent shows. Start where you are, use what you have, and don't underestimate the power of smaller platforms to amplify your voice and expand your reach.

Spiritual principles can sometimes seem straightforward when we hear them, but when we put them into practice, we might find them difficult to uphold.This is especially the case when the principles have been misunderstood or misinterpreted.In this episode, Thom tackles some misconceptions about “charm,” wealth, and vegetarianism in answer to some listener questions.These are important principles to understand correctly so we can transcend old ways of thinking and get closer to achieving the 200% of life that Thom often refers to.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Q - Is it evolutionary to move towards greater suffering?[02:57] A - Dynamic Interaction[05:26] The Demands of Social Relevance[07:47] The Interactive Edge of Your Inner Potential[09:12] A Sustainable Lifestyle[10:42] Q - Is Wealth Compatible with Spiritual Principles?[11:20] A - False Assumptions[13:44] Desire and Fulfillment[16:27] It Would be Good to Have a Helicopter[19:36] The Universe Itself Desiring[22:29] The Formula - Transcend All of This[24:55] Transcending Transport[26:51] The Ultimate State to Be In[28:45] The Master of All You Survey[30:51] Q - Do you have to be vegetarian to be spiritual?[31:12] A - Follow Charm[32:38] Deer Hunters[34:55] State of Consciousness is Primary[37:39] TranscendUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

(Fritz Berggren answers question about “White Supremacy” and racism. His controversial blog “bloodandfaith.com” raises many questions.) Q: White and Christian Nations? Sounds like White Supremacy. Would you like to explain? A: “White supremacist” is a term of opprobrium invented to put Whites on the defensive, much like the terms “racist,” or “homophobic” are used to morally impugn people. It is a not a term that should be respected — it is a lever, a form of accusation, a moral cudgel used to beat people into submission. I reject that on its face. Q: Yes, but your website as “bloodandfaith.com” says, explicitly “White and Christian Nations.” That's provocative, racist even. A: What is wrong with the idea of Christian nations? The concept of Islamic nations is very important in Arab nations, in Turkey, in Indonesia . . . It would be insulting to most Arab nations to suggest they cannot be explicitly Moslem. Do people reject the concept of White nations? I don't see anyone rejecting the concept of a “Palestinian” nation, or a “Jewish nation,” or a Chinese nation. Rejecting the concept of White nations is fundamentally hatred toward the White race. If I said, “It's OK to be White,” would that also offend you? Q: Do you reject the idea that non-Whites can be Christian? Doesn't God love everybody the same? A: Many non-Whites are Christian . . . the Ethiopian eunuch in the book of Acts comes to mind. Yes, Jesus Christ will have a people from “every tongue, tribe, people, and nation.” A: I dispute fundamentally the idea that God loves everyone the same: “Jacob I love, Esau I hated,” says the Scripture. Did God love the people who he killed the flood? Did God love the Canaanites whom Joshua was commanded to destroy? Will God's love be shown on the Judgement Day when most end up in hell? If the answer is “Yes, He loved them the same,” then my response is “well then that it is a mistake to assume that “love” means treating everyone the same. God does not treat every one the same, and he does not love everyone the same. Q: Should you try to build tolerance and understanding between people? A: That's not my mission and that's not my goal. Look, I love my race. No apologies for that. Moses and the Prophets all felt the same about their own race. Q: More than other races? A: Yes. All of them were race loyal to their own people. Saint Paul expressed a willingness to surrender eternal life for the benefit of his own race: “For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,” Romans 9:3. Jesus Christ said “I only came for the lost sheep of the House of Israel?” Are you going to accuse Jesus Christ of being a racist? If so, that's simply proof that the term “racist” ought not be taken seriously as a moral value. Q: Do you believe the White race is superior to other races? A: Superior in what way? Define superior. Again, people are used to tossing ill-defined accusations in people's faces in order to put them off guard, to accuse them, to manipulate them. I've figured this out and so I'm not controlled by those terms any more. And that angers the people who are used to being in control — they don't want freedom to catch on out there. Q: Do you prefer the White race? A: I prefer my own kin to others. The Berggren family is the greatest family on earth as far as I'm concerned. Alex Jones, you, or Joe Biden may prefer their own families, and they should. I have zero compunction to apologize for this or to couch my message in such a way so as not to offend people who believe “White supremacy” is a moral concept I must reject to their satisfaction when no one can really pin down what it means. It's purposefully kept vague in order to keep people manipulated and morally leveraged. Q: Yes, but Hitler was an evil man. A: I am glad you have such a strict moral code and sense of right and wrong. But I'm not available for people to manipulate just because they can sling out phrases like “racist,” or “White supremacist,” or “Hitler.” It's silly, really.  That makes some angry because they lose control.  For others, they have not fully thought through he purpose and meaning of these terms and remain in mental bondage. A: In a sense, no man — certainly not a White man — can be free as long as he allows himself to controlled by these cudgels of guilt and shame. The terms create a false moral cover for hatred against the White and Christian race, they are levers designed to undermine and destroy us. I feel no need to accommodate that project. In fact, I feel an obligation to resist the genocide my own race. Very few are willing to do this and, unfortunately, fewer still within the Christian Church. Q: Thank you for you time. A: Your welcome. I look forward to talking again. Fritz Berggren, PHD bloodandfaith.com

Even as the Lakers are winning more games (7-3 over their last 10, 18-8 over their last 26), it's still a little tricky to figure out exactly what they are. How good are they? Are they more contender than pretender? What do you make of some of the big wins, like Milwaukee I and II, Minnesota, OKC, etc? They're clearly much too good to be the genuinely mediocre/middish team they looked like they might be after the post-IST slump. Likely the Lakers finish 10-12 games over .500, which last year would have been enough for around a 4-seed in the West. Now? Likely ninth. But they're clearly not among the elite, either. Unless you're just thinking of results against the high end teams, in which case... they kind of are? So much to sort out. One big Q: Do the Lakers themselves- players and coaching staff- feel like they know? And more importantly, do they agree on the answer? Meanwhile, the Lakers are getting nothing from their bench. Two points on Sunday, and not much more than that on most nights. How important is that, especially as we get closer to the playoffs, and a theoretical return for Jarred Vanderbilt, as well? Finally, LeBron's greatness creates hard questions for Rob Pelinka now, and down the road.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with Guest Aaron Larsuel!  SEGMENT 1: The Lakers are winning, but do we really know what they are?  SEGMENT 2: Is the bench really a problem? SEGMENT 3: LeBron now, LeBron down the road...

If you're new here or missed the update, I'm having my first baby due in June of this year. And as I've been getting so many questions about my birth plan and my approach to maternity leave, I recently took to Instagram to do a Q&A. Today, I'm answering the questions I received to give you a behind-the-scenes of my plans, and to help you feel empowered to navigate your season of life on your own terms. The questions I'm addressing include: Q: What are you manifesting for your birth? While I have preferences for birth and have made very considered decisions around it, I also have a mindset of co-creation and trust in the universe. I take you through the medical team I've chosen, my thoughts on being flexible and why I'm going private.Q: Do you wish you could just surrender into motherhood and not work?Though it appears simple, this question is actually somewhat complex. Every person is unique, and there is no one right way to approach motherhood. For me, what I believe will enhance my ability to be present and provide support to my child will be different for someone else. I discuss my intentions for motherhood and work and how it aligns with who I am as an individual. Q: What are your plans for maternity leave and for the business? I've definitely made plans for the length of my maternity leave and how the business will run after baby's arrival, which I share all about with you. I talk about how I imagine I'll use my personal time and the projects I may feel inspired to work on, while acknowledging that as someone who is not yet a mother, I cannot precisely predict how I'm going to feel from one day to the next! Q: Will it be harder to work with you once you have a baby?Over the last couple of years, I've been intentional about structuring the business so that the model won't change when I step into motherhood. I take you through the plans I've put in place to ensure the same spaces in my programs are available, however am honest about the possibility of things shifting in relation to my client load should my situation call for it. I share everything about my plans through the lens of this being my decision. Every woman should feel really empowered to go through this season of life in the way that they want to. I hope this episode helps give you permission to make the choices that support you the most and not how anyone else tells you it should be.Happy listening!Connect with Ellie: Be the first to know when doors open to the Swiftmind Scaled Mastermind (the ONLY chance to be coached by me in 2024): https://ellieswift.com/mastermind Website:       https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:    @elliehswiftFacebook Group:    www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Note: The time signatures [00:00] below indicate the start of a question if you'd like to skip to a particular one of interest in the audio file.Ice-Breakers:[01:08] - Q: What is your favorite color?A: Gray (Jeff), Royal/Navy Blue (Taylor)[02:19] - Q: What is your favorite book of the Bible and why?A: OT - Ecclesiastes / NT - Romans (Taylor), OT - Ecclesiastes / NT - Revelation (Jeff), James (Matt)[04:40] - Q: What Christian book has made an impact on you that you would recommend to others?A: See TBD - TBDThe Bible:[06:35] - Q: Does God still speak to us today?A: See Hebrews 1:1-2 - Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.[10:06] - Q: Do you guys know anything about why certain books were included and others weren't, such as other books found in Dead Sea scrolls? And what about books mentioned in Bible such as Enoch?A: TBDOld Testament:[12:22] - Q: Who was the third person on earth?A: Cain[12:45] - Q: If Cain killed Abel, who did Cain marry? How did humanity continue?A: His sister[14:05] - Q: Genesis 5:4 - The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. Who or what are the Nephilim?A: See TBD[18:25] - Q: What is your stance on Psalm 83? Is it a war, a lament? If you believe it to be a war, is it a past war or yet future?A: See TBD - TBDNew Testament:[19:55] - Q: In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus talks about narrow & wide gates, one that leads to destruction & one that leads to life. He indicates that there will be few who find the narrow gate that leads to eternal life. Is Jesus revealing in these verses that proportionally speaking that most people born throughout the ages will go to hell compared to those that truly come to salvation through Jesus?A: See TBD - TBD[24:25] - Q: The Bible says “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matt 7:1), but there are other places like I Cor 2:15 where God says “but he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one”. Can you explain the seeming contradiction between these two verses?A: See TBD - TBD[28:28] - Q: Can you discuss the Bema seat? I know it is a judgment for believers (good and not so good) that will take place post rapture for how we spent our lives on earth, but since God forgives our sins past, present, and future and wipes them from his memory once we confess our salvation in Him, why do we stand in judgment for things we did that are not so good?Or is it just situations where we could have shared the gospel or helped someone and didn't do anything that will be called out and judged?A: See 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 - According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.2 Corinthians 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Potluck:[31:05] - Q: With as flawed, hypocritical, & inconsistent as we are as believers, why would God choose to limit Himself in such a way to effectively share the truth of His message to the lost world?A: See - TBD[33:40] - Q: What does the Bible say about the use of Western Medicine example anti depressants, pain killers, medical marijuana, etc.?A: See Proverbs 31:6 - Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress...[35:15] - Q: Is drinking alcohol, using tobacco/ marijuana, or gambling all sins? Should a born again believer stop these activities?A: See TBD - TBD[On the Blog] - Q: Why does God allow trials in my life to test my faith, if in His sovereignty He already knows how I'll respond (positively or negatively)?A: See 1 Peter 1:6-9 - In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.[On the Blog] - Q: Can you explain what Jesus means in Luke 14:26-27 where He says we can not be His disciples unless we hate our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children? This seems totally contradictory to His message for us to love one another as He has loved us.A: See Matthew 10:37 - Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.Any question that was missed due to time constraints during the service Pastor Jeff will address the answer on the blog.Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANK Small Group Questions (Whole Group):Review the questions submitted above.

Guest: Karl Jackson Welcome back to another Undeniable episode of the Undeniable Level Up Podcast.  With you host, Jose Medina and Crystal Garcia.  And today we are here to talk about Demystifying Digital Dough.  What is this thing called Crypto.  Wow, that rhymed didn't it!   For some of our listeners who follow our professional development and self improvement discussions, you may be asking how discussion of Cryptocurrency is a relevant topic for us to discuss and to those listeners. I would say, financial health is one of the 8 wellness categories.  And with everything that's going on with the dollar and Russia's and China's plan to move away from the Dollar Dollar Dollar Bill Yall, I think there is no better time to discuss Crypto than now. Now, I have some friends and associates who purport to understand Crypto and I'll be honest, I have a Crypto wallet with a little bit of Cryptocurrency, but I'd be lying if I told you that I totally understand everything about crypto.  I know how to invest in it, but I have no idea how to spend it. If you're like me, then you have a lot of questions too.   And here to help us demystify this Mystifying mullah is none other than Crypto Expert Karl Jackson.  Hi Karl, and thank you for joining us on today's show to discuss the ins and out of Cryptocurrency. Jose and I met Karl about 1.5 years ago when he was working as a Tax Attorney.  This guy is a Tax Wizard of the highest order, a financial genius and business structure master.  And now a Cryptocurrency Colossus!   Marc Kenigberg, the Founder fo BitcoinChaser says "Blockchain is the tech. Bitcoin is merely the first mainstream manifestation of its potential." Q: Do you agree with Marc?  Are we still at the beginning of what Crypto will be?  Where do you see Crypto in the next 5 years? This quote highlights the importance of understanding that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are just the beginning of what blockchain technology can achieve. The potential applications of blockchain technology go far beyond digital currencies and could have a transformative effect on various industries.  Q:  How do you think the underlying blockchain technology will continue to evolve, and what impact will this have on the cryptocurrency landscape? Q:  Can you discuss the potential for decentralized finance (DeFi) to disrupt traditional banking and financial systems? What are the key advantages and challenges of DeFi? Q: What role do you see cryptocurrencies playing in the global economy, particularly in developing countries where access to traditional banking infrastructure might be limited? Satoshi Makamoto, the mysterious and pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin stated that, "The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust."  This quote from the inventor of Bitcoin emphasizes the fundamental issue that cryptocurrencies aim to address – the trust required for traditional financial systems to function. By leveraging blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies aim to provide a more secure, transparent, and decentralized alternative to conventional currencies. Q: How do you think regulators and governments will respond to the growing influence of cryptocurrencies, and what effect will this have on the industry's future? Q: Security has always been a concern in the crypto space, with numerous high-profile hacks and breaches. How can individuals and businesses best protect their digital assets? Q: What are your thoughts on the increasing popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and their potential impact on various industries, including art, gaming, and intellectual property? Adam Draper, founder of Boost VC. Said, "The blockchain does one thing: It replaces third-party trust with a mathematical proof that something happened." Adam Draper's quote succinctly captures the essence of what blockchain technology offers – a decentralized, trustless system that relies on mathematical proofs and cryptography to ensure security and transparency. This shift from relying on third parties to mathematical proofs has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives, from finance to supply chain management.  Q: Scalability has been a long-standing challenge for many cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and Ethereum. How do you envision this issue being addressed in the future? Q: How do you see the relationship between centralized and decentralized exchanges evolving, and what does this mean for the accessibility and security of digital assets? Q: In your opinion, what are the most promising use cases for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology beyond finance and investment? CTAIf you've been thinking about investing in Crypto, but the mysticism and newness of the digitally currency has kept you hesitant, then today's topic should have given you some much needed insight and education and a strong starting point.  This is call to action is for those of you have interest, but just don't really know where to begin your journey and experience with Crypto.  We are going to ask you to become a participant in Crypto Twitter.  To do that, all you need Is a Twitter Account.  If you don't have one, it is easy to sign up at Twitter.com.  Use the search bar at the top of the Twitter interface to search for relevant hashtags like #cryptocurrency, #bitcoin, #ethereum, #blockchain, #DeFi, or other specific terms related to the crypto world.  Browse through the search results and follow accounts that regularly post about cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and related topics.  We will put some of the more popular accounts in the show notes to help you get started.  @VitalikButerin (Ethereum co-founder) @SatoshiLite (Litecoin creator Charlie Lee) @aantonop (Andreas Antonopoulos, a well-known crypto educator and author) @cz_binance (Changpeng Zhao, Binance CEO) Some additional keywords that are useful to look up when getting started and all of which are discussed in this podcast include: Cryptocurrency Bitcoin Ethereum Blockchain DeFi (Decentralized Finance) Crypto Wallet Altcoin Satoshi Nakamoto Smart Contracts Cryptocurrency Mining Proof of Work Proof of Stake NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) ICO (Initial Coin Offering) Token vs Coin Digital Asset Cryptocurrency Exchange DEX (Decentralized Exchange) Crypto Trading Crypto Investment Cryptocurrency Market Cap Stablecoin Crypto Regulations Cryptography Crypto Security Crypto Taxes DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) Yield Farming Cryptocurrency Futures Cryptocurrency Risings and Falls Privacy Coins Layer-2 Solutions Crypto Bubbles Bitcoin Halving Blockchain Technology Staking Cryptocurrency Decentralized Apps (DApps) Cryptocurrency Scams Crypto Adoption Crypto Volatility Here you will be able to engage with the content by liking, retweeting, and replying to tweets.

By following these steps, you will become part of the Crypto Twitter community and gain access to a wealth of knowledge, insights, and perspectives on the world of cryptocurrencies. Karl, thank you for joining us and being so informative and knowledgeable on such a technical and very, very new topic of Crypto.  As an attorney, I know that your time is not just limited, it's also valuable, so we appreciate the time you have taken out of your schedule to be a part of our show.   Do you have any advice for our listeners as they they getter ready to dip their toes into the dark waters fo Cryptocurrency? We look forward to having you back in the future to talk learn more about Crypto, taxes and business structures among other topics that you have expert knowledge on.  Thank you again. The world is changing.  30 years again computers were the size of a room and cell phones had to be carried in bag the size of a brief case.  Today, our phones are damn near super computers and fit in a pocket.  Everything we do is connected digitally in one way or another.  Crypto is here.  It is better to get educated on it and learn it so that you're not left behind when it becomes necessary to own it, have it and use it. Spend the time now, dabbling and learning the ins and outs and becoming familiar with Crypto and the different coins.  Knowledge is always the key to success.  It's time to level up your financial acumen, to begin building the foundation of knowledge on Crypto to keep you ahead of the pack.  Ignorance is NOT bliss.  Ignoring Crypto won't make it irrelevant. Find time to educate yourself, and move into the future with confidence and understanding.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Audio: Motivational Speech on Courage  Guest: Krista Roseborough  Welcome to the Undeniable Level Up Podcast, your go-to source for powerful insights and transformative tips to elevate every aspect of your life! Why settle for mediocrity when you can unleash your full potential? Join us as we dive into the world of personal and professional growth, uncovering life hacks to boost your career, turbocharge your relationships, and elevate your personal well-being. Together, let's unlock the secrets to becoming the ultimate version of yourself, armed with the tools, strategies, and yes, even the tricks, that we'll explore in our captivating conversations. Get ready to level up like never before! You know, courage is really an interesting and layered idea. It's been on the minds of thinkers and philosophers for ages. Basically, it's all about standing up to tough situations or risks with a strong mindset, some guts, and a can-do attitude. So, Aristotle talked about courage in his book Nicomachean Ethics, and he saw it as one of the most important virtues. He believed it's all about striking the perfect balance between being too scared and too confident when dealing with tough times. A brave person knows they're afraid, but they still take action, without running away or diving headfirst into danger. Historically, other philosophers perspectives on courage emphasized moral or ethical considerations. For example, some philosophers argued that courage involves not your the ability to face danger or adversity but it towards a just or a noble cause. In this sense, courage is tied to moral principles and a commitment to doing what is right, even when it is difficult or risky.   Oh, and speaking of courage, existentialist philosophers like Søren Kierkegaard and Jean-Paul Sartre had their own unique take on it. They saw courage as dealing with the ups and downs of life while trying to find meaning in a world that doesn't seem to care. For them, being brave means tackling life's uncertainties, owning your freedom and responsibility, and making genuine choices when faced with life's big questions. Courage, as a philosophical concept can be understood as a virtue that enables individuals to face adversity, danger, or challenges with strength, determination, and a commitment to moral or ethical principles. While the specific nuances of courage may vary across philosophical perspectives, it is generally recognized as a crucial aspect of human character and personal development. And here to speak with us about courage is out special guest and friend, Krista Roseborough.   Hi Krista… Joe and I met Krista through Jiu Jitsu when she was training here in Houston, TX.  As a professional, a mother, a daughter and the many more hats that Krista wears, the one thing she never has a shortage of, is courage.  Thank you for taking the time to join us today.   Can you begin by telling our listeners where you grew up?    "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." – Franklin D. Roosevelt Q: What are your thoughts about President Roosevelt's words? This quote really highlights that courage is not about being fearless, but rather understanding and recognizing that some things are more important than fear, such as what we value and hold dear, our goals and our purpose in life. Today, we present seven powerful hacks that will not only boost your courage but also empower you to confront challenges and seize new opportunities in life. By implementing these seven practical strategies, you'll be able to develop your courage, conquer your fears, and unlock your full potential And the first of the seven hacks is setting achievable goals – Setting achievable goals is essential to driving internal courage as it fosters a sense of self-efficacy, motivation, and resilience in individuals. By establishing realistic objectives, individuals are more likely to feel confident in their abilities to overcome challenges and accomplish their desired outcomes. This sense of self-belief serves as a catalyst for courage, empowering individuals to take calculated risks and face adversity head-on. Moreover, breaking down larger aspirations into smaller, attainable goals provides a clear roadmap for progress, allowing individuals to track their achievements and maintain motivation. As each milestone is reached, a sense of accomplishment further reinforces the courage to persevere and overcome obstacles.  In essence, setting achievable goals not only nurtures a resilient mindset but also cultivates the internal courage needed to navigate life's uncertainties and achieve personal and professional success. Q: Have you ever found breaking goals down into smaller chunks boosting of your self esteem and confidence? And has that ever given you courage to chase more daring and challenging objectives? The 2nd Hack is embracing vulnerability.  You know, being open and vulnerable is super important when it comes to building up your courage. It helps you form genuine connections, grow as a person, and bounce back from tough times. When you're honest about your fears and hopes with people you trust, you create a support system that can offer great advice, motivation, and guidance. Sharing your experiences and viewpoints not only makes you stronger, but it also helps you feel less alone in your struggles. Plus, when you embrace vulnerability, you can face and accept your own limitations, which helps you develop a growth mindset that's key for building courage. Recognizing your weaknesses means you can tackle them head-on and learn from your setbacks, turning obstacles into chances for growth and self-improvement. And, being vulnerable also encourages self-compassion and empathy, giving you a better understanding of your feelings and experiences. This emotional intelligence lets you handle tough situations with more adaptability and resilience, which ultimately boosts your inner courage. Q:  Have you ever struggled to be vulnerable and where did you muster the courage to overcome that fear? Number three is practicing mindfulness.  Practicing mindfulness is important to driving internal courage because it fosters a deep sense of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mental focus. By engaging in mindfulness practices, such as meditation or journaling, you learn to observe and process your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This increased self-awareness allows you to recognize and confront your fears, paving the way for the development of courage. Furthermore, mindfulness helps you stay present and focused, enabling you to approach challenges with a calm, clear mind and a heightened sense of resilience.  As you become more adept at managing your emotions, you'll find it easier to act courageously in the face of adversity, since you'll be less likely to be overwhelmed by fear or anxiety. In addition, mindfulness encourages reflection and introspection, which can lead to a better understanding of your values, goals, and motivations. This clarity of purpose further reinforces your internal courage, empowering you to make confident decisions and take decisive action in pursuit of your aspirations. Ultimately, practicing mindfulness is a powerful tool for cultivating a courageous mindset, equipping you with the mental and emotional strength to navigate life's challenges with grace and determination. Q: How do you practice mindfulness?  What grounds you in the present?   READ QUOTE: Nelson Mandela stated, when asked about overcoming fear, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." Q: What do you think President Mandela meant by that statement? The truly courageous person acknowledges their fear and finds the strength to conquer it in order to move forward. Hack number four is visualizing success.  You know, visualizing success is super important when it comes to building courage. It's all about using your imagination to picture yourself achieving your goals. When you do that, you can feel the emotions and excitement of success, which helps you believe in yourself and boosts your courage. The more you see yourself overcoming challenges and reaching your goals, the more confident and determined you become. It's like a mental practice run that gets your brain ready for success, making it easier to take action when things get tough. Plus, visualization can help you bounce back from setbacks by letting you imagine different situations and solutions. This way, you're prepared to handle surprises with confidence and courage. So, in a nutshell, picturing success is a powerful way to make your dreams come true, face your fears, and tackle life's challenges with a never-give-up attitude. Q: Do you visualize your success before it's achieved?  If so what does that look like?   Five is to surround yourself with positive influences.  Surrounding yourself with positive influences is critical to driving internal courage because the people you choose to spend time with have a profound impact on your mindset, beliefs, and actions. By connecting with individuals who inspire, uplift, and encourage you, you create an environment that fosters personal growth, self-belief, and a can-do attitude. These supportive relationships act as a source of strength and motivation, providing you with the confidence and resilience needed to face challenges head-on.  Additionally, positive influences can serve as role models, demonstrating through their own actions the power of courage, determination, and perseverance. This exposure to courageous behavior helps you internalize these qualities and adopt them as part of your own character. Ultimately, immersing yourself in a circle of positive influences paves the way for the development of internal courage, empowering you to tackle obstacles, seize opportunities, and reach your full potential. Q:  Who are the positive influencers in your circle?  How do you cultivate positive energy  in your environment?  Where is your Sacred Space of Success?  How to eliminate toxic or negative energy? Hack six is learn from your failures.  Learning from our mistakes is super important for building courage. It's all about turning those setbacks into chances for growth and getting better at what we do. When we learn from failure, we get to know our strengths and weaknesses better, and that helps us be more resilient when facing future challenges and making smart choices. Plus, it encourages us to see obstacles as stepping stones, not huge barriers we can't overcome. Changing the way we see failure helps us be braver when taking risks and facing tough times with determination and persistence. Plus, when we realize that failure is just a normal part of the journey to success, we're less scared of messing up, which boosts our confidence and self-assurance. So, learning from our mistakes not only makes us more resilient, but it also gives us the courage we need to chase after our dreams and goals, no matter what. Q: What has been your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?  How has this failure made you more fearless? The last hack, is to practice exposure.  Practicing exposure plays a vital role in developing and driving internal courage as it allows individuals to confront and gradually overcome their fears, anxieties, and limiting beliefs. By facing challenging situations or stimuli in a controlled and incremental manner, individuals learn to build tolerance and resilience, ultimately reducing their negative emotional responses to these perceived threats. This process of desensitization helps individuals recognize that their fears are often irrational or exaggerated, enabling them to develop a more grounded and realistic perspective. As individuals gain confidence in their ability to cope with previously intimidating situations, they experience a sense of empowerment and self-efficacy. This newfound belief in their capabilities serves as a catalyst for internal courage, fostering the determination and resolve necessary to tackle even greater challenges. Moreover, the process of exposure also promotes personal growth and self-awareness, as individuals gain insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and coping strategies. Ultimately, practicing exposure not only strengthens resilience and adaptability but also cultivates the internal courage essential for overcoming obstacles and achieving personal and professional success. Q: How do you practice exposure?  Has it been beneficial?  Have you struggled to practice exposure? READ QUOTE: The poet E.E. Cummings is quoted as saying, "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."  Q: What do you think E.E. Cummings meant by this? I believe he meant that it takes courage to embrace our authentic selves and take the necessary steps to grow and develop, even when it's challenging or uncomfortable.  (CTA)If you find yourself holding back, dodging challenges, and coming up with reasons why you can't achieve what you truly desire, it's time to reignite your inner courage. If fear—whether it's the fear of making mistakes, looking foolish, or failing—is stopping you from stepping out of your comfort zone, then it's time to harness your internal bravery. If you're stuck in analysis paralysis, unable to make crucial decisions swiftly, or if you begin exciting projects only to quit without a clear reason, then this message is meant for you! We urge you to grab a copy of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers or "The Courage to Be Disliked" by Ichiro (Itch-e'-Row) Kishimi (Kish-e'-Me') and Fumitake (fumi-Taki) Koga. These books offer incredible insights into cultivating and nurturing your personal courage. Check the show notes for the links, and let the journey towards a more courageous you begin! https://a.co/d/9opStAQ - "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers  https://a.co/d/9PjWgNH - "The Courage to Be Disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Kogahttp://www.komusodesign.com/krista15 - "Komuso Breathing Necklace Krista, any advice for our listeners out there who may be struggling from an overall lack of  courage?  We want to thank you for joining us today on our show.  It has been a pleasure and incredibly humbling to get to know you on a more personal level and understand how you use courage to achieve and live an amazing life. As we wrap up this inspiring podcast on discovering courage, let's remember that courage isn't about being fearless; it's about facing challenges with determination, strength, and a dedication to doing what's right.  Our guest, Krista Roseborough, shared incredible wisdom on developing inner bravery, touching on setting achievable goals, welcoming vulnerability, practicing mindfulness, envisioning success, surrounding ourselves with positivity, learning from setbacks, and embracing exposure.  Building courage is a journey that takes time and effort, but the rewards are beyond compare.

Guest: Alicia Anaya Welcome to the Undeniable Level Up Podcast where we provide our listeners with life hacks to leveling up in business, leveling up in your career, leveling up in your personal lives, and even leveling up in your relationships.  Why strive to be average, when you can be the best version of your self with the tools, tips and sometimes with the tricks that we provide in our discussions. Last week you heard from Jules Johnson, in our episode titled, 'Managing Stress Like a Boss".  Jules, the Assistant District Attorney for Harris County in Houston TX discussed how he not only learned to live and excel in a stress-filled home growing up, but how he continues to manage stress effectively in his high-stress career as a attorney. Today, we here to plan a murder.  We are here to discuss killing the procrastinator in you!  We all have a little bit of procrastinator in us.  It begins when we are young with small unimportant tasks like "Go to Bed!"  As a child, we don't want to go to bed, so we ask for a glass of water.  We don't want to clean our room, so we watch television instead.  Usually, by the time a parent has had it, with the procrastination, they will typically direct you to complete the assignment and begrudgingly, you get it done.   As we get older, the procrastination lingers with us.  In school, we put off assignments until the very last minute, or we study for a test while riding to school on the bus.  When we enter the work force, we put off tasks and responsibilities, like completing 1:1's because the thought of address performance doesn't excite us.  We put off changing the oil because we don't have 15 minutes to spend at Jiffy Lube, and we drive until the gas mileage display runs crashes below zero.  If your have ever done any of these things, chances are you have a procrastinator in you and we are going to put that sucker out of his misery.  And here to discuss the pitfalls of procrastination is our guest and our incredible daughter, Alicia Anaya.  Hello Alicia! Q: So, we know you very well, but tell our listeners how was it growing up as a military brat? READ QUOTE:  William Arthur Ward says, "Begin while others are procrastinating.  Work while others are wishing." The big question that is on my mind and should be on everyone else's mind as well, is WHY.  Why do we have a tendency to procrastinate? The high-level answer is we procrastinate because we often rely on self control to get things done.  But our self control is highly reliant on our motivation.  When we lack motivation, then our self control suffers and we end up pushing tasks aside for more enjoyable activities.  Like napping.  Or watching TikToks. Factors such as exhaustion, fatigue, hunger, anxiety, depression can all contribute to an overall lack of motivation and make you a chronic procrastinator. When it comes to the 10 main factors that lead to procrastination, we find that this list consists of: Weak goals vs. SMART goals Failure to Visualize a Future Self Feeling Overwhelmed Anxiety Perfectionism Fear (Failure, Judgement, embarassment) Depression Fatigue Burnout Overtasked So we have 14 hacks to killing the procrastinator in you.  These are 14 lethal steps that you can take to ensure that when you find yourself being impacted by either fatigue, fear or anxiety, in such as way that you begin to procrastinate, you will be able to maintain steadfast self control and motivation and get things done. The first step is stop trying to eat the whole elephant in one sitting.  You don't have to complete a task from A to Z, especially when it's a large task.  It is sometimes better to break that task up into smaller parts.  If the project takes 8 hours to do, you can 2 hours on day 1, 2 hours on day 2 and so on and so forth.  This will reduce the stress of an 8 hour project and allow you to space it out over time and avoid procrastinating. Q:  Have you ever tried this approach?  How did it work?  What did you learn? Step 2 is make a list!  Having a checklist is how pilots fly the most complex aircraft in the world.  Having a list ensures you remain in sequence, allows you to check tasks off as they are completed.  They also ensure you never forget something.  It's a great way to say sane when your have information coming at you from multiple angles. Q: Do you use lists?  What do you like about using lists?  What are some of the lists you use to ensure you get stuff done on time? Step 3 is find your Sacred Space of Success.  That's the place where you are able to focus and get stuff done.  If might be the office, the bedroom, maybe it's poolside or maybe the local Starbucks.  Where ever that magical place is that you get the most work done, go there and get it done. Q:  Where is your Sacred Space of Success? Step 4 develop a plan.  It's not enough to have a major task or project to get done.  You need to know each step required to reach the end goal and establish a timeline to accomplishing each task in a realistic time frame.  Having a plan is like having a GPS that directs you towards the fastest path to success.  Once you have a good plan, then execute that plan with self control and commitment. Q: What was the last thing you planned?  How did that go?  Were you successful?  What failed? Step 5 is eliminate distractions!  Email notifications, text messages and long winded talkers.  Get them out of your space.  Turn your notifications off.  Focus and concentrate and set specific intervals to check emails and text messages. Q:  How do you manage distractions?  What are the worst distractions for you? Step 6 is reduce your need to make decisions.  If you need to stop and decide something, you are losing time.  Instead set low priority tasks on autopilot.  For example, have a planned daily menu for lunch.  Monday's is Canes, Tuesday's is Chic-Fila and Wednesday's is Popeyes.  Thursday and Friday you bring a lunch.  This stops you from stopping and having to scroll through DoorDash looking for lunch options. Q:  Are there any low priority tasks or decisions that you have automated in your life?  What things could you automate in your life?  How would that help you be more productive and procrastinate less? Step 7 have a schedule and stick to it…as closely as you can.  Obviously emergencies are going to happen, but your days should be planned from start to finish.  This allows you to forecast your productive hours in the day, ensures you arrive at meetings and planned event son time and allows you to maximize your day without losing time. Q:  Do you keep a schedule?  Would a schedule help you accomplish more things faster?  What are things you dislike from using schedules? Step 8 is forget about achieving perfection.  It will never be the perfect moment, the perfect conditions or the perfect execution.  Focus instead on being the best you can be at that point in time.  Take time to reflect and self assess to ensure that you are learning from your errors and mistakes and learn to laugh at yourself. Q: Does trying to be perfect affect your ability to accomplish tasks and achieve objectives and goals?  How often do you self assess and what does that look like? Step 9 is celebrate the wins.  The ability to celebrate the small wins, gives you the encouragement to continue striving towards the larger goals.  Incremental victories can help maintain motivation and momentum.  In our podcast, 'Fake It Til You Make' our guest, AJ Franco spoke about how we would celebrate everytime he and I had a sell when we were working as salesmen for All-American Lumping.  Our goal was a hefty one.  Generate $1M in sales in 6 months.  If we would have never celebrated the small victories, each account that we closed, we would have burned out on rejections and failed sales calls.  Instead, each small win encouraged us to push to the next one.  And our victory lunches were a very memorable part of that. Step 10 is cut yourself some slack.  Learn to not be so hard on yourself.  Take scheduled breaks and find time to unwind and relax and do something that re-energizes you.  I spoke previously about how driving alone in our convertible with the music playing on the highway is soothing and recharging for me. Q: What recharges you?  How do you plan that re-charge time in to your schedule? Step 11 is build your Power Circle.  The people that our surround yourself with should add value and feed your positive energy.  Remove those in your circle who are draining or lack the ability to add value. Q:  How do you cultivate or build your power circle?  How do you chose the individuals in your circle?  Have you ever had someone in your circle that didn't belong there?  How did you handle that? Step 12 is to build an Accountability System.  It is easy to cheat on yourself.  You do it all the time when you sneak a snack you know you have no business eating.  But having someone, or something externally to hold you to your commitments, is a great way to avoid porocrastinating. Q: Do you have an accountability system?  How does that encourage your performance?   Step 13 is find a mentor.  A mentor who has done it, can help you do it as well.  Always try to learn from the mistakes of others so you don't have to waste the time the lesson will take.  A good mentor will speed up your learning curve and a good mentor will hold you accountable where you are coming up short. Q: Do you have a mentor?  If you don't, what would a good mentor look like for you? Our final step, Step 14 is take action.  Get it done.  In our podcast from Season 1, Episode 11, "Don't Confusion Motion for Action" we provide the hacks to ensure you are actually taking action and not just being in motion.  Taking action is about accompishing the tasks, and achieving the objectives.  Motion, is thinging, planning, contemplating, avoiding, waiting.  It's every thing that precedes the moment that you actually begin moving the ball towards the goal post. Victor Kiam says "Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin"If you've been putting off for tomorrow, what you know you should have done today, then this call to action is for you.  If you constantly miss deadlines, then we are speaking to you.  If you are setting an alarm to wake up and do your homework before you go to school, then yes, we are also speaking to you and I challenge you to download and listen to Season 1's Episode 11 of the Undeniable Level Up podcast, "Don't Confusion Motion for Action", or Episode 6 of last years Season, titled, "Becoming a Goal Digger".  Both of these episodes have amazing life hacks at getting things done by killing the procrastinator and taking action.   Alicia, any advice for our listeners out there that need to stop procrastinating and putting things off for tomorrow? I don't know a busier 16 year old than you, so thank you for taking time out of your hectic schedule to join us for today's show.  Your "get it done" focus and determination are definitely taking you to some very amazing places in life.  Congratulations on your upcoming graduation from High School and your future college plans!  We love you to see you achieve and win!  We are all guilty of a little procrastination here and there.  Okay, maybe  more than just a little.  I'll start my diet on Monday…I'll complete that assignment tomorrow…I'll change the oil this weekend…these are just the small and inconsequential procrastinations that we do without giving any thought to it. But what about the "I'll start taking college classes next semester", or "I'll start investing once I've paid the car off", or "I'll start that new business once the economy shifts".  These are the big delays that pump the brakes on your betterment, your improvement.  These are the delays that stifle your growth and stuntsyour progress in life.  30 years later, you'll be telling yourself the same exact story.   It's time to level up and kill the procrastinator in you today.  Stop being scared to fail.  Failure is always the first step towards success.  Failure is a lesson that has been clouded by ego and self esteem.  Take it for what it is.  A learning opportunity.  Stop allowing fatigue to limit your ascension.  Imagine if the person trying to get to the top of Mt. Everest stopped every time they got tired.  They would never reach the summit and never experience the glorious view from the mountain's peak.  We all get tired. You can rest at the top.  Stop moving forward without a plan and without defined goals.  A goal without a plan is a wish.  And wishes are only granted by genies, so unless you've found a magic lamp, you better have a plan.  Kill the procrastinator and watch yourself level up faster than you ever dreamed possible.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
