A Duna vize előtte csillogott, a hegyek a hátterében. Dorombolt a város. Sercegtek a hidak. Csörögtek a villamosok. István kissé zavart volt. Budapest egy örvénybe húzta. Most ért rá erre rájönni.En: István stood at the foot of Margit Bridge. The Danube water shimmered before him, with the mountains in the background. The city hummed. The bridges creaked. The trams rattled. István was slightly puzzled. Budapest was pulling him into a vortex. It was just now dawning on him.Hu: István szerette a meleget. Szerette a gőzt. A fürdőt. De Budapest, ó Budapest, a fürdő városa, túl sokat adott neki. Fénylő termálfürdő. Lilás és párnás. A rózsaszínes Király. A furmányos Rudas. Istanbuli emlékek. Két világ, egy Fürdő. Megzavart Istvánt.En: István loved the warmth. He loved the steam. The baths. But Budapest, oh Budapest, the city of baths, had given him too much. Gleaming thermal baths. Purple and pillowy. The rose-colored Király. The ornate Rudas. Memories of Istanbul. Two worlds, one Bath. It unsettled István.Hu: A Gellért felé vette az irányt. Kék kupolái olyan magasra nyúltak. Fel a napba. Halkan csak, de büszkén sütöttek. István a töltő állomás előtt megállt egy kicsit. Az utcán az a varázslatos budapesti hangyaforgalom. Emeletes buszok, mintha valami óriási mókuskerekben forogtak volna körbe-körbe, hiába. Hová menjen most? - töprengett István.En: He headed towards Gellért. Its blue domes reached so high. Towards the sun. Quietly but proudly they shone. István stopped for a moment in front of the charging station. In the street, the magical Budapest traffic buzzed. Double-decker buses circled around as if in a giant merry-go-round, to no avail. Where should he go now? István pondered.Hu: Beugrott egy taxi. Az ablakából egy öreg sofőr integetett neki. "Hová viszem?" - kérdezte. "A fürdőbe" - válaszolt István, és úgy érezte, túl általános volt. Az öreg taxista kuncogott egy sort. "Melyiket önt érdekli? A termált, vagy a törököt?", kérdezte vén hangon.En: A taxi pulled up. An elderly driver waved at him from the window. "Where to?" he asked. "To the baths," István replied, feeling it was too vague. The old taxi driver chuckled. "Which one interests you? The thermal, or the Turkish one?" he asked in a weathered voice.Hu: István erre nem tudott válaszolni. Azt sem tudja most, melyiket akarja. Vonzzák a buborékok. A gőz. Az illat. De Budapest valamit rejteget, amitől nehéz szabadulni. A török fürdők csábító világa. Titkainak melegében gyökereznek gyógyforrásai. Az évszázadok pora játszik a sötét kertekben. Ahol az idő megszűnik.En: István couldn't answer that. He didn't even know which one he wanted now. Bubbles attracted him. Steam. The scent. But Budapest held something that was hard to shake off. The enticing world of Turkish baths. Its healing springs rooted in the warmth of its secrets. The centuries' dust played in the dark gardens. Where time stood still.Hu: Az öreg taxista ránézett a hátsó tükörben, és huncut mosollyal kérdezte: "Azt kérdem, István, melyik világot akarod érezni?" A kérdés furcsa, de valahogy jó volt. István ránézett a taxira, aztán az öreg sofőrre. Aztán Budapestre. Nagyot húzott a levegőből. "Mindkettőt akarom" - felelte végül, és elmosolyodott. "Akkor jöjj, van egy hely, ahol mindkettőhöz elvezethetlek" – felelte az öreg.En: The old taxi driver looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked with a mischievous smile, "I ask you, István, which world do you want to experience?" The question was strange, but somehow good. István looked at the taxi, then at the old driver. Then at Budapest. He took a deep breath. "I want both," he finally answered, and smiled. "Then come, I have a place where I can take you to both," replied the old man.Hu: István követte az öreg taxista tanácsát. Nem tudta, hogy pontosan melyik fürdőt választja, de tudta, hogy Budapest kebelében minden választás egy kaland. Az öregségétől ravaszságot, az ifjúságától bátorságot kölcsönzött, és belépett a fürdőszalonba.En: István followed the advice of the old taxi driver. He didn't know exactly which bath to choose, but he knew that in the heart of Budapest, every choice was an adventure. He borrowed shrewdness from old age, bravery from youth, and entered the bathhouse.Hu: Ahogy a gőzbe lett angyalelvetés: tudta, hogy jól döntött. Belenyugodott. Hogy az öreg taxista igazat mondott: Budapest fürdői nem választhatók szét. Megtapasztalva a termálvizek gyógyító erejét és a török fürdők időtlen békéjét, tudta, hogy ez a fürdők városa.En: As the steam enveloped him, it was like an epiphany: he knew he had made the right choice. He resigned himself to it. That the old taxi driver was right: Budapest's baths couldn't be separated. Experiencing the healing power of thermal waters and the timeless peace of Turkish baths, he knew that this was the city of baths.Hu: És így zárult le az a varázslatos nap, amikor István, összezavarva, de boldogan felfedezte Budapestet és a fürdők titkát. Aznap este István békésen aludt, álmai Budapest fürdőit járták. Nevetett. Aludt. Megértette. Őrizte Budapestet. Együtt a városával. A fürdőivel. Minden a helyén volt. Closet a sztori középpontjában. Minden kielégítő volt. Eső volt. Eső volt.En: And so ended that magical day when István, bewildered but happily explored Budapest and the secret of the baths. That evening, István slept peacefully, his dreams filled with Budapest's baths. He laughed. Slept. Understood. He cherished Budapest. Together with his city. Its baths. Everything was in its place. The story came to a satisfying close. It was raining. It was raining.

Americans Quietly Assigned China-Like Social Credit Scores. Epoch Times. Crossroads. CrossroadsET  Apr 02 2024   Other Episodes Americans are quietly being assigned scores, similar to the way the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) runs its Social Credit System. The system is working through private businesses and banks, and rather than use a CCP standard of adherence to the ruling regime, is instead based on the social justice standards under environmental, social, and governance (ESG). Already, purchasing a gun, alcohol, or other items can affect your personal ESG score. And the scores allegedly also take into account which vendors you choose to buy products from. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.

Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been hit by a lot of bad news lately. His former vice president declined to endorse him. His legal travails are getting worse. And some states are lurching to new extremes on abortion, making it impossible for Trump to shrug off responsibility for the end of Roe v. Wade. Yet as Media Matters has documented, Fox News appears to be dramatically downplaying a lot of these stories.

We have made some strides when it comes to securing the election. But the reality is, we have not done enough. Quietly members of the Trump Team believe President Trump needs to win by at least 5 percentage points to overcome any potential fraud. This is true, especially in the swing states where Democrats have mastered the art of cheating. Currently President Trump leads Joe Biden by an average of 4 points depending on the poll. A recent Daily Mail poll has Donald Trump even beating Michelle Obama this November if she happened to be on the ballot instead of Joe Biden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Wednesday, April 3, 2024. As spring hibernations come to an end, the WVDNR reminds West Virginians to be “bear aware.” Plan an overnight stay in the Northern Panhandle and choose from campgrounds, resorts, or even the grounds of a castle. And learn about WV's historic landmarks…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV EXPLORER – When spring is in the air in West Virginia, black bears come out of hibernation and begin a desperate search for food. Because bears become more active during this time of year, the chances of an outdoor encounter increase, says Colin Carpenter, black bear project leader for the W.Va. Division of Natural Resources. Do not ever feed bears. It's a violation of state law. You also want to avoid inadvertently feeding them. Remove or secure food attractants such as unsecured trash cans and pet food bowls before a bear finds them.  If you encounter a black bear, the WVDNR offers these dos and don'ts: Remain calm. Don't approach a bear. Don't run from a bear. Don't climb trees to escape a bear. Give the bear a clear escape route. Quietly back away and leave the area. If attacked, immediately fight back. Remember, it benefits both wildlife and humans to always be bear aware!

That is especially the case in the Northern Panhandle, where you can book nights in luxury resorts, cozy cabins or unique suites with a twist on West Virginia heritage. Extend your Almost Heaven trip with the comfort of these four, truly one-of-a-kind stays in the Northern Panhandle. Choose from modern and comfortable rooms at Oglebay Resort.

Of these landmarks, 16 of them are right here in West Virginia. How many West Virginia sites have you visited? Here are just a few: Matewan Historic District, site of the bloody West Virginia mine wars that occurred in 1920 in Mingo County.  In Ohio County, the Wheeling Suspension Bridge, built in 1849, was the first suspension bridge of its kind when it was built, and to this day is the oldest suspension bridge still in use.  Just north of Huntington lies the Clover site, once home to a large Native American village that dates back to the Protohistoric period between 1550 and 1600 A.D. The title of National Historic Landmark is given to buildings, sites, structures, objects and districts that illustrate the heritage of the United States. According to the National Parks Service, each one represents an outstanding aspect of American history and culture.

Indigenous communities were more or less shut out of fully participating in Canada's economy for centuries, but that is beginning to change. Quietly, First Nations and Indigenous communities across Canada are beginning to take ownership stakes in major clean energy, resource development, and infrastructure projects. But this isn't happening without complications and challenges. On this episode, we talk with Mark Podlasly, a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation and Chief Sustainability Officer for the First Nations Major Projects Coalition, about why it's happening now, the history that has led to this point, the size of the opportunity for Indigenous communities, and some of the obstacles that still remain. ----- Links: More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

He calls them gentle launches. It also feels like a struggle. George, it's shared fascination with AI and how he thinks it fits into an authentic business. George: When do I Sarah: my thoughts George: as well on that topic. Authentic business Sarah: tries to, I guess, solve both of those issues by, by bringing, I'm just going to say it like personal George: development or spiritual growth into all the actions we take in our Sarah: business. So for example George: in the beginning, you know, when we're struggling to get clients and clarify our message and all that stuff that process itself doesn't have to. It doesn't have to feel like, Oh, I'm postponing the fulfillment of my life and my, my purpose, but like the actual work of [00:05:00] clarifying and putting systems together can be done from a deeper purpose of service. Service to our higher self, actually, and then, of course, service to humanity or the people that we most have compassion for and want to want to support and uplift through the products and services of our business. So, it's like, it's like. No matter what stage we're at, whether we're, we're, we're like the, the, the struggling beginner all of that can be actions taken in, you know, like I said, in, in service or in, in, in in alignment with our deeper, more, Purpose of life so that it's not like, I mean, I use this, but then, you know, sort of mundane example of if you're doing bookkeeping and you're not a bookkeeper, let's say you're not, it's not something that you'd naturally love to do. You can be like, ah, let me just get this out of the way. And, oh my God, so it's such a, such a, so tedious to have to like, look at these numbers or whatever, [00:06:00] or you can take a moment and say, this is my life also like, like, this is not. Yeah. Do this so that I can have, I can live life. No, no. This very moment is life. And therefore, how shall I live? It's like, Oh, okay. Bookkeeping. How can I come to it with a perspective of curiosity about the numbers and what the numbers suggest to the greater narrative of what my business developing into, how can I bring focus? You know, can, how can I practice focus in this moment? How can I practice gratitude that I can even Even have a business or even, like, think about this, you know, or even work on numbers. You know, some people can't even don't even have a computer, right? Like, like, how can I have the gratitude? And what does this moment mean for my personal development? Like, right now, like, and we don't have to spend an hour journaling before we do it. I mean, literally, most of us, even if we took. Two minutes [00:07:00] to just pause and say, what is the meaning of this moment? And the, the potential deeper potential at this moment, it changes. And it's like, what if our entire day could be like this? And that to me is really the core spirit of authentic business is at the beginner. For the beginners like that, and then later on you know, businesses like yours and mine, where things are humming along, it's like, rather than just go, I'm making money now and whatever, but it's like, how can I yet again bring my money. Courage to be, to be vulnerably exploring what my, my true purpose is in my business and, and pivot when I need to, but it's all like, I think of it as marketing, the act of marketing is a business finding is calling, you know, it's a business exploring with the market and with ourselves, what the calling of the businesses. And at the same time, the actions of a [00:08:00] business is also a stage. Okay. For our continued personal evolution. And then, so it's like, no matter what stage of the business, the authentic part of it is how much soul is being placed into this moment. And if there is, if there's soul in this moment, then I say, Hey, that's off, that's an authentic business. So Sarah: that's yeah, you and I need to have a conversation about my third book. I'm working on business. Like we're human because what you just is, yeah, it's very much aligned with I, I feel like you've talked a lot about spaciousness as well, right. And just, Yeah, just being a human as well as having a business and, and oftentimes we feel like as entrepreneurs, we, yeah, we need to struggle so much. And that means filling our calendars to the brim because we're just [00:09:00] not doing enough. But what you're saying is the opposite is just like, well, the business, and I think in your YouTube video, you share that the business is a practice and authentic business is a practice. And so it becomes. Part of your life, like it fits into your life. Yeah. And it's not like we need to fit our lives kind of around our business. The, you know, few minutes that are left each day. So it's the, it's the other way around. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Another thing that I think oftentimes, and I'm curious what you, if you have the same feeling, authentic kind of became this buzzword a little bit. Yes. And it became this thing that we. Again, need to use our left brain in order to do authentic, like, you know, do authentic marketing. Well, here's the seven steps on how to do that. That's not what this is, George: right? Yeah. It's interesting. In 2023 Miriam [00:10:00] Webster, the dictionary company said the word of the year was authentic. Yeah. Yeah. So it really is literally a buzzword. And I feel like that the word of the year is often at least a year behind what the culture actually has been so authentic has been around for several years. I feel like as a, as a, as a very important or a very common kind of like bringing, bringing people back to, to what's meaningful for them. And anyway, but yeah, it's, I, I, I, so, you know, Appreciate this idea of practice, because to me, it's it almost doesn't matter what we're doing in our business. I mean, if, if, if we are, if we are living an authentic life, I mean, kind of kind of starting there. I mean, I mean, let's set aside authentic business. Like, the question is, are we living an authentic life? It's like, it's like, like, are we dedicated to living the most meaningful? And [00:11:00] highest life or deepest life, however you want to put it, like, if, if, yes, we are dedicated to that, why I don't see why, why the, I mean, those of us, those of you who are listening to this podcast, you're part of Sarah's audience, of course, you're dedicated to living the highest and the deepest life. It's like, what else is there, you know, what other possibility is there that actually draws us forward. And so if we are, in fact, have that passion and that dedication, then of course we have to bring that spirit into hopefully everything we do in our business. And the opposite of this is I often see come across spiritual teachers Well, they're spiritual teachers, so they must be dedicated to the highest and deepest and the best life possible. And yet I sign up for their email list or I follow them on social media or whatever. And their marketing is [00:12:00] just, it does. If there's like a, like, it's like a big. Disconnect between how they market themselves and how they sell their stuff to what they espouse as their principles and values. And I'm like, why, why is it that, why does business and marketing have to be. Different somehow, it's like separate thing. Yeah. It's like, it's like, oh, I, I, I'm, I'm very deep and, and, and real when I'm with my clients. And now let's do our marketing and using, you know, really manipulative funnels and really like scarcity type tactics. I'm like, what is going on here? It's like, why is there such a disconnect? It's kind of like the, yeah. You know, like the preacher who is so holy on, you know, on TV. And then, and then they have like some dark, you know, scandals and they're like, they're, they're, they're, they beat up their families and they cheat on their wives and it's like, it's like, it's this disconnect and, and and that's what I'm trying to say. Authentic means that you are authentic in, in everything that you do. [00:13:00] Yeah. Sarah: I think the issue is I, I kind of. Looked into that because of in the whole thing. Well, marketing like we're human selling like we're human business, like we're human. So what does it mean to be human? So I, I looked at Yuval Harari and one of the things that he shares is. One of the distinctions between us and other species is that we are myth makers. So we're really good at creating these new truths that we then all believe as humanity. And I think this online business world is one of those myths, right? And so everybody just started to believe. This is how business works online, or this is how online marketing works. And so even the, the really spiritual coaches, they're like, this is the mess that everybody is believing that myth. So I need to believe that [00:14:00] truth as well. And so that's why we need people like you are like, well, no, you don't have to believe this myth. There is another way, but I thought that was a fascinating concept. It's true. It's like, We decide this new thing, and then everybody follows, and that's what happened you know, 15 years ago. George: Really, really good observation. Yes it's there's, there's also this setting aside our inner authority. When it comes to, Oh, well, business, I'm not a business person. Well, I'm not a marketing expert. I'm a spiritual teacher or I'm a holistic healer, or I'm a life coach or that, that, that's, that's where I shine and I'll, I'll just, you know, business, they, they seem like they know what they're talking about with business and marketing, so I'll follow their systems that they're, they tell me the systems work, so let me just follow those systems. It feels off to me. It doesn't feel authentic to me, but it's going to get to an authentic end at the end when I finally can work with [00:15:00] clients. Right. And, and this is the old, you know, means to an end fallacy, which is, Oh, I just have to do this thing. That's soulless or that's not really me so that I can get to the part that is me. That is like, well, okay, particularly when it comes to your own business. Oh, you do it is going to be how you do end up doing just about everything else. So it's like the, the mindset you take on when you follow the mainstream business experts and the marketers ends up corrupting the mindset of your entire business and your audience feels that. I mean, this is why. People have been kind of looking at my stuff and following me for, for all these years. It's like they feel the difference. It's like there is a difference and they feel it. And I'm, and I feel it too, because I used to be, I used to be quite unhappy, deeply unhappy when I was following those systems without realizing that that's what I was doing was setting aside my own [00:16:00] authority to follow someone else's authority. Yeah, they said that, you know, even though it didn't feel right and finally, when I, when I get shut out all that stuff down and say, no, I don't have to do that. Let me try to try. It's what is could be an authentic way of doing business and marketing. It's like, oh, my gosh, I can really now settle deeply rest deeply and, and, and work deeply because now I see it as a practice. That's a soulful practice as well. Yeah, Sarah: that's wonderful. Yeah, exactly. All right. Well, we're hosting a workshop together on April 2nd, right? And it's called the 111 Authentic Business Formula. So tell us a little bit what this formula is about and it has all these different numbers and practices. So tell us George: a little bit. Totally. Well I'm yeah, I'm glad to be able to tell you about it. And I do hope those who are listening to this will sign up for our, our joint workshop [00:17:00] because this is where I'm going to dive, dive deep into the one 11 formulas. Okay. So, so why one 11, first of all, the backstory is I've always found that to be some kind of magical number for me 11, one 11, 11, 11. Those have been at times, I feel like at times, particularly when I needed, you know, encouragement or I guess, quote, unquote, self help. Signs from the universe that that, you know, I, I deeply believe this to be true for myself and for all of us that we are in some mysterious, magical way, being deeply taken care of and being guided. With a still small voice within us, and sometimes the universe is kind to give us little signals of like, yeah, just remember you're not alone and it's going to be okay and not just okay. You are on a brilliant path. It seems windy, long and winding road sometimes, but [00:18:00] it is a necessary path toward your Highest good and your ability to serve the world in the, in the most powerful way, authentically powerful ways possible. So the 1 11 has been that kind of number for me. So when I was you know, I get asked by my clients and students all the time. It's like, all right, just give us. Give us, you know, tell us exactly what to do, you know, and I always, I always kind of fight against that because I'm like that is the opposite of authentic. If I tell you exactly, exactly what to do on a Tuesday at 10 a. m. you should do this and Thursday at 2 p. m. you should do that. I'm like, then you are following my authority again, rather than. Discovering your own inner authority, but still they're like, yes, yes, we get it. We get it. We get it, but we still need more clarity. Some structure, please on what to do. I'm like, okay, okay, let me, let me try to put together a structure. That has embedded in it the wisdom of all my successes and failures and having worked with [00:19:00] hundreds of clients and seeing their ups and downs and it seems what seen what's worked and what, what are the pitfalls? Let me try to put this structure together. So that's what I did. I said, okay, if I could guarantee you success in business, an authentic business success, this would be my best bet. And I always say, no one can guarantee you success, of course. And if anyone is saying, I'm going to guarantee you, just sign up for my program. You should run the other direction because they are either lying to you or they are. Going to become your, your authority instead of either going to supplant your in our authority. And that's not good for your sovereignty. And and so I said, okay, this formula has a lot of wiggle room in it. I'm going to give you numbers, but the numbers are more of a suggested shall I say prioritization of sorts, but you can, of course, take this formula and make it your own. So I'll [00:20:00] give you I'll give you the sort of the quick overview of the of the. But what the numbers are, and then, you know, we could talk as much as we have time here about it. And we'll go, we'll dive deep in the workshop itself. So the 111 is made up of 111 components to this so called guaranteed formula, or the best that I can do. And it has, I'll just give you some of the numbers here so you can get a sense of it. It has 40 for zero content experiments, because I. Believe deeply, not just believe, but I've seen in my own life and in my clients and students lives, the way we really discover our voice as well as our message. As well as that blessed intersection between imagine your passion and natural talents. Okay. So what you're, what you're deeply built for and led toward is one circle. And the other circle is what the world needs [00:21:00] and wants at this time. And that blessed intersection between what you're built for and what you're led towards and what the world is wanting at this time, which is the market. Okay. What they're happy to spend money on, what they're, what they love to engage with that blessed intersection of the two of them that I consider is our authentic business calling. And we discovered that through content experiments. Okay. Meaning we, whenever we. Try sharing a message or we have an idea, and we're going to just put it out there and see if people get it. Oftentimes, they might not get it. We might be ahead of our time. So we're not might not be saying it in a way that is understandable yet to this to this. Anyway, so 40 content experiments are, you know, and with the one 11 is, you know, Loosely meant to be a 1 year plan, so in the 1 year, you kind of do this and so it's like 40 content experiments over the course of a year. Not too many. It's like, maybe 1 a week, you know, something like that. If you work 40 to 40 weeks in a year, and then we've [00:22:00] got 10 stage 2 content pieces and we're going to dive deep into in the workshop what this means. But essentially, when out of the 40 content experiments. Which of those 10, I mean, as you go along, every time you do four of them for content experiments, you look back and go, which of those four had the most engagement? This is a clue, an important hint. Into what my intersection is between what I love and what the world wants. Ah, okay. So the stage two is basically taking one of those four and improving it and distributing even further. Okay. So that's what stage two content. So 10, 10 of those. During the year, definitely not too many, and that's at stage 2 is what actually builds your audience for the 40 content experiments is for you. I mean, you publish it for you, you don't you don't worry about the metrics and whatever you analyze it afterwards after 4 of them, but the stage [00:23:00] 2 is really what's going to grow your audience over time because it's the best of. Okay and then and then so now we're up to 50, right? 40 plus 10. So now we have 20. Market research conversations. Again, we're going to dive deep into the, in, in, during the workshop, 20 market research conversations over the course of a year, it seems like a lot, but in my early years of authentic business, I was doing more like 40 a year. Actually. I was, I was sometimes even doing more than 40 a year and a market research conversation. What is that? It's you being in actual conversation. With another human being that you're able to reach. Okay. So one of your fans, one of your friends, one of your colleagues, one of your clients, past clients, et cetera, where you are asking, where you are talking with them about what it is that they want, because, and particularly what they want as related to the [00:24:00] kind of stuff you offer. So that those conversations bring huge clarity to, Oh my God, I should be offering this. I should be creating content on that. I should be selling this. I didn't even know. And I like being able to talk with people like this, especially like on zoom or video, you know, or in person, but like where you can see their expressions is hugely helpful. So, so those 20 market research conversations sometimes turn into clients also, but we're really approaching them as out of genuine curiosity and care. Yeah. Okay. So, so that's that. And then the next 20, there's 20 collabs, collaborations. And again, my favorite. Yeah, exactly. Here's what we're doing, right? This counts as one of them. Right. And in the, in the early days when I was trying to build my audience and grow my business, I was doing, I was doing 40 collabs a year. So I'm only asking for 20 from, from all of you. And again, these are all, there's no hard and fast rules, right? These numbers are suggested and you can always change them. Take them as [00:25:00] whatever fits your rhythm, but a collaboration is well, Sarah, you excel at these reaching out and connecting with colleagues whom you're fascinated by their work. And they probably are interested in you there. If they respond to you, they're at least interested in connecting. There's kind of a bit of a heart connection. And I really go with heart connections. I mean, I, I interviewed lots of people. I've interviewed lots of people over the years. Only certain one of them, certain few of them like you have a hard connection where I'm like, I want to keep up with this person. And it's like, you grow. So, so these 20 collapse over a year are not like, oh, I'm dedicated to these 20 people for life. No experiments. You're just reaching out and, and doing maybe doing an interview, interviewing them for your channel. That's the easiest for me is I interviewed people for my channel. Just kind of sense into that connection. Is there something more for us to keep doing together? If not, that's okay. At least I, I did them a little favor by sharing them with my audience and my audience. I did them a [00:26:00] favor by saying, Hey, check out this person who could be really cool. You might want to follow them too. Having that abundance mindset, as you do, Sarah, is, well, it's just makes us happier, number one, and I think it's more true. T with a capital T of what reality is. Anyway, so that 20 collapse Sarah: and I love how it feeds into the authentic, authentic business. Yes, yes. Because I used to, you know, before the humane marketing and everything, I used to like be in these joint venture clubs and affiliate clubs and it was nothing like that. It was not a collaboration. It was masked as a collaboration. But it wasn't, so it wasn't that authentic heart centered kind of George: connection. So I'm so appreciate you bringing that up because, Oh my gosh, I've been there. Maybe some of the people who listened to this have been there or have been invited to these kinds of things where they, they, [00:27:00] they, they sound like they care and like want to collaborate with you and say, Oh, we would love to have you in our, in our summit. Would you like to be a, one of our guest speakers? And then you reply back and says, Oh, that sounds wonderful. Sure. Sure. Well, yeah. Okay. So to be this, you have to have a minimum of 5, 000 email lists. You have to send two emails to your list of 5, 000 to be qualified. I'm like, okay, so you're really using my list to grow your list. Got it. And then once I, once I show up in the, the, the few times I've said yes to this kind of thing, I show up and sometimes they say, just go and record 20 minutes, you know, just go and record 20 minutes of something and we'll add it to our summit. I'm like, Oh, you don't really care, do you? You just want me to do whatever. And then, like, and then, like, I never hear from them again until several years later. Oh, let's do another summit where you can build my list. It's like, oh, yeah. So, you know, collabs are really an experimentation of, are you us? I mean, could I say this? Are you a soulmate? And [00:28:00] I believe in business. We have many soulmates. Are you one of my soulmates? Let me, let me, let's play together for a bit and see if it anyway. So, so 20 collabs and then moving on to 10 gentle launches, 10 offers and gentle launches. 10 over the course of a year. Now, again, this sounds like a lot, but let me tell you what a gentle launches, a gentle launch is not. All right, get ready for a 90 day, you know, challenge where you're going to have like 90 videos, you're going to make it, you're going to have this funnel where after the challenge, they get like five webinars until they join your year long. No. That's yeah, some people do launches like that and it exhausts me just to even talk about it. Okay. What a gentle launch for me is, is ridiculous, ridiculously light. It's two posts, two messages. That's it. Again, we're going to dive deeper into what these two messages are, but essentially it's It's a humble [00:29:00] and curious offering to your audience, the people you're able to reach. Even if it's right now, it's your, you know, 200 Facebook friends or whatever. It's like you're a humble and gentle offering of, Hey, everyone. I'm really this is work that I love doing. And I love doing it for these kinds of people in this kind of way. And I'm just wondering if, if, if this resonates, With you, I have some spots right now. And so it's, it's a gentle offering. It's very authentic. It's very real. And then the second message is simply it's, it's, it's that same offering, but you could, you could talk about a a case study, or you could talk about the story of how you became so passionate about this area. Or you can, you can talk about the reminder of, Oh, this thing is starting or whatever. So it's like two messages only. And it is and that that's the same two messages are sent. Everywhere you're on social media and sent to your email list. If you have one, and I find this Sarah, it's so, it's so interesting. I've been doing this gentle offering stuff for at least four years, [00:30:00] five years, probably actually, maybe longer than that too. Every time I launch something, it's two messages only. And I find that over time, my audience has leaned in more and more and more. Because whereas usually when someone else launches something, we have to, like, as an audience member, we have to, like, almost hold them off because it's so coming on so strong. So many emails, so many posts. And it's like, okay, all right. All right. I just, oh, yeah. Another thing about their launch. Whereas because of my gentle launch rhythm, my audience, I find I started to lean in more and often people go, Oh my gosh. And it's like, Oh, I missed that. Oh, that's okay. I'm going to have another offer in a month or two. And then they, they lean in and I find that now even one message. Now I can tell if it's going to be a successful launch or a medium launch or time to pivot. And it's so helpful for me because I, I do a single light launch and like, Oh yeah, this is going to do really well. The second message, like usually the first message brings [00:31:00] a lot of the sales and then the second message brings some of the sales too. But it's like once your audience is leaning in, they pay attention whenever you offer something and if it's right for them, they're going to buy much more quickly than. The usual launches where it's like, Oh my God, it's full of anxiety. And like, Oh my God, this is going to work out. And anyway, so 10 gentle launches. Sarah: I like that. Yeah. And I'm, I'm really personally listening and paying attention because I, I think that's something I'm wanting to shift as well. So just. I, I felt like my launches were gentle, but I do still feel like, because I actually just had feedback that, you know, there was too many emails and so it's like, yeah, I, I, I get it. We're all, you know, having too much. And even though, you know, even though the content is gentle, it's still, George: it's still the rhythm itself. And the funny thing about it is that. Not only can the rhythm be gentle for our audience, it's also gentle for [00:32:00] our, for our own systems because we're, because, you know, writing two messages as opposed to writing 10 later, which one is easier for us. And, and really, I really had, and you're lucky that I can tell you from my experience, because I had to like, it was, it was ironically, a lot of courage to only send two emails to only make two posts, like in the, in the early days. I'm like, I'm let's see what happens if I only do two of them, but it worked out so well over time. I'm like, I'm, I'm, I'm preaching this to the whole world. Like, please try this, but it, it, it takes a bit of patience because your audience needs to get used to it. Right. Like two or three launches later, they're like, Oh my God, I got to lean in now. Well, the thing Sarah: is, I only do three launches because I only have three programs. So would you say maybe then three George: emails? So. Yeah. I mean, of course, now let me be clear. Yes. When we have a larger program, it does [00:33:00] warrant more messages. I agree. Because like when I launched my year long program I send, well, we're going to talk deeper about this in the, in the workshop. I call it my circles of enrollment, meaning there's the inner circle that I send to, and there's the middle circle that I sent to, and then there's the outer circle. Each one has two messages. So it ends up being six. Yeah. For my, for my yearlong program, I can't wait to talk more, but yeah, we'll talk, we'll talk deeper, but, but what I want to just wrap up here with gentle launches is I do encourage everyone listening to consider. Experimenting with more offers, lighter offers, which again, we will dive to more deep, but let me, let me finish the one 11 formula. Okay. So there's two more elements. Okay. There's, there's, if, if you've been taking notes and counting the numbers, now we're down to 11 elements left, 11 components left. Okay. So out of these 11 components, there's just two, two pieces. There's two categories. There's six [00:34:00] joyful productivity practices integrated. Okay, so 6 joyful productivity practices integrated over the course of a year is certainly quite spacious, but it's also very rational. So for those who haven't heard of joyful productivity, it's basically my framework for how to manage yourself in business. So this is everything from how to manage your time to your how to manage your energy. For your attitude to energy and physical, mental, emotional, how to manage the flow of information, all this information coming in through your email, social media, and also the information going out. So how to manage all that. Within your computer. So I have a course called joyful productivity that goes into 24 of these practices that from my perspective, and that's actually when I polled my audience on which of my courses I have, I now have 24 courses, actually 24 separate courses, only, but which of my 24 [00:35:00] courses do you love the most? The winner was joyful productivity. So anyway, so, so I have 24 practices in that course, and I'm only asking for six of them to be integrated per year. So essentially when you take that. Of course, it's like a four year program, so six times four, that's right for your program. So so, so six of them in a year means every two months you're focusing on one of the Georgia productivity practices and that's great because according to research, so called the average time it takes for, for someone to develop a new habit is two months, 67 days, basically, and approximately two months. So anyway, so those are six Practices of self management integrated, uplifted optimized, you know, kind of like upgrading your, your own way of managing this. Because I know I want to take one more moment to say this. Like I, a lot of people don't realize. I think being a solopreneur, being a successful one is more like being an athlete than, than [00:36:00] a hobby, hobby artist. And I think unfortunately that's how a lot of people authentic solopreneurs, solopreneurs I call them. That's how they take it. Oh yeah, it's kind of like my hobby. It's kind of like my art. Oh, I play on, and of course I play too. I play a lot, you know, the experimentations. The way I recommend everyone think of it, it's more like you're training for a marathon. It's really more like that. Which means you've got to be really organized if you want this thing to work and if you want to succeed and have a lot of good work life play balance, you've got to like go. I'm serious about my training regimen. If I'm going to run a marathon, I'm going to be serious about my training regimen, which means when am I going to get up? You know, what am I going to be eating? Right? I mean, for marathon, there's certain things. And then, you And how much am I going to train? How am I going to rest? Right? What's my rhythm of, of exercise versus rest. And, and what, what can I eat and what shouldn't I eat and all that stuff. Business is [00:37:00] kind of like that. I mean, for those of us who have been around for years, I've been around since 2009, most of the people who started with me are no longer doing their business. I think it's largely because they didn't treat their business like it, what I call a joyful productivity athlete. So anyway, so that's why it's really important. And then the final category, one 11. Is 5 client case studies and over the course of a year, I don't think that's too much. That's less than 1 every 2 months. And the client case study again will dive more deeply into this is simply this is simply. Before they came to work with me, this is what they were going through. This is what they came to me for during our work together. These are the elements of our work. They loved the most. That they found most helpful and then after our work now, their life has changed in this way. Their business has changed. Their relationship has changed. Their health has changed in this way or that way, whatever this we work with people on. So these case studies don't have to be like, Oh, my God, I, [00:38:00] you know, they were, they were broke and now they're making a million dollars an hour. Or, Oh, my God, they were on stage for cancer and now they're the picture of health. It doesn't have to be that dramatic, but, but what it does do is help us to see the journey of our clients and what really works well for our, our ideal clients. And it didn't really case studies are more or less for us. But of course, the piece of the study can be put out as marketing and very inspirational as well. So I Sarah: find. Thank you. Case study is so much more beneficial than, than testimonials, right? Because they're more authentic. That's the reason because you can actually follow the journey where the testimonials, it's just kind of like, it was amazing. And I made six figures, you know, like oftentimes they don't feel authentic. George: Yeah. And, and it's like, if you take on the case study mindset. It kind of even changes how you work with clients. 'cause you're now, you're now being more aware of the, the, their journey and you're really [00:39:00] curious how their journey is gonna turn out. So then you, you work with them in that kind of way. It's like, oh, let's, oh my gosh, you, you, you, you know, there's a pitfall here. Okay, let's, let's work with a pitfall. And seeing them as seeing the hero's journey throughout the whole thing. really amazing. I love that. So, so if you add those all together, you might have to listen to this again. Yeah. So you add them all together. Should add up to 111 and and, and yes, in our workshop, I can't wait to dive into the nuances of these different things. In fact, I, I'm, I'm hoping that those who attend the workshop will listen to this 1st, so that I will send Sarah: it out to, I don't have to, I George: don't have to get the overview again, but we can directly into, okay, what do I mean by content experiment? What exactly are the market research questions? What are the, what are, you know, Six of the most important joyful productivity practices, whatever we can, we can dive into the nuances and the details, but I didn't want to overwhelm everyone who's just actually listening to a podcast episode here about these things. So, yeah, Sarah: that's wonderful. [00:40:00] I'll use it as prep work. George: Yes. Yes. Sarah: Yes. Yes. To listen to it. Yeah, no, it is really fascinating. And I can't wait to dive in. Definitely the, the launches where I was like, Mm, 10 launches, you know, just the, I just a word. I'm very fond of words, certain words and others not right. And it's just a word launch kind George: of does like, I need to, I need to probably wording has always been one of my weaknesses. It's, it's, it's ironic because I'm a marketing person, but despite my weakness for wording, I've made a very successful business. So I'm open to anyone. So I Sarah: like the fact that you call it gentle, right? That definitely George: explains it. Or a light launch, sometimes I call it. Yeah. Sarah: Yeah. So, so yeah, I'm, I'm very excited to, to learn more about that. And, and yeah, definitely gonna have your voice in the back of my head with the two messages. So, so thank you for that. [00:41:00] Yeah. I have one more question as we wrap this up, because it also feeds into the authentic and it's kind of timely. I know that just like me, you really like tech, you like AI as well. And so for a lot of people, that's kind of like an oxymoron. How could you like say authentic business, authentic marketing, and also like AI and chat sheet BT. So yeah. And then that's what's your answer? I love George: I love this question so much. Oh, my gosh. I have I've definitely made several videos about this on my YouTube channel, but I'll give it. I'll give an overview summary of things. So, 1st of all. The resistance against AI is reasonable. Okay. It's reasonable because, you know, they said it was going to take a lot of jobs and it has begun, it really is taking over a lot of human work and it's only going [00:42:00] to get worse. I, and the reason why I put a question mark on worse is because we can also see it as getting way better. So let me explain what AI does. Is it's able to speed up 10 times 100 times the work that and become tedious and automatable. Okay. For example when you are brainstorming ideas. Brainstorming examples and metaphors, analogies for something you're trying to teach or trying to explain, you can, of course, sit there and go, All right. All right. And for an hour, right? And you can brainstorm. I don't know how fast you are brainstorming. Maybe you could brainstorm 5 things in an hour or 2 things or 50 things, depending if someone is really, really good at idea generation. With chat, GPT or Google Gemini or any of the AI chat bot tools. Now you can, instead of brainstorming, maybe you were really slow before. I I'm pretty slow at [00:43:00] brainstorming. I mean, maybe I'll brainstorm like five things in an hour. Now I can brainstorm those five things in 15 minutes. With the help of chat, you PT. Now I think of, I think of AI as a smart intern intern, not, not you know, not on par with us. I don't think it. Okay. I don't think it will ever be on par with humans in terms of the integration of intuition, body hormones light lived by definition that cannot be, it doesn't have the lived experience of a human. So, but what it does is it gives us the average. I mean, as you use Google Gemini, chat, GBT, whatever, and you go into your field, you talk to it about your field, you'll see, oh, it's very average. I mean, The responses, well, by, by definition, it took all the blog posts from your field and averaged it out to say, well, this is basically what your field says, but it doesn't have the nuances that's unique to [00:44:00] you. And to me about our own fields, because when I talk to you about authentic business or about business, like your answers, like, give me a marketing plan about this. I'm like, oh my God, the marketing plan is so generic. I can't even stand it. This is not what I would give a client. But when I say help me brainstorm three different analogies to talk about this. And an instant within a minute, three analogies come up. I'm like, okay, I kind of like the first analogy, maybe go more in that direction. I definitely don't like the second one. The third one's kind of interesting. I like this part about it. And I work with it like an intern and it can helps me to refine. And I'm like, well, what about this? Have you thought of this? And it's like, well, I oftentimes talk to these. Yeah. I'm like, what about this? Have you thought of it? Like, no, that's a great idea to like, well, it's because it doesn't. Yeah. It doesn't have the nuance that humans do. And so I don't, I never, so this is maybe the short answer to your question. I never use AI to do the actual writing. Or to do the actual, certainly not video, but certainly definitely not writing. I don't use it for writing George. What do you [00:45:00] mean? I use AI more than most people. I use it for brainstorming and for checking things and for as a thinking partner. But then I always look at it like, Oh, you're an intern. I know you, you're not that good yet. I mean, you're fast. You're very, you're very fast at giving average answers, but I'm going to take what you give me. I'm going to just up level it to the George cow or deepen it to the George cow way. So I really recommend it for that. As, as long as we see it as a smart intern thinking partner, I think we can get things done a lot faster. I've, I've, I, it has really sped up a lot of my work so that therefore we can do higher work. We can do higher Sarah: work or be more human. That's what I say as well. It helps us create more spaciousness to have a connection call or go out in nature or, you know, that's, that's the thing that a lot of these chat GPT prompts and things like that. It's, it's all about, well, create [00:46:00] more content, right? You do more. It's not about doing more, it's about being more productive, George: but gaining time, actually. It's gaining time and, and, and Google has, has just come out with a press release just as a few days ago. Okay. Basically saying this, we are now going hard on the Google search engine of getting rid of AI content. Not getting rid of it, but like we know, obviously Google is AI, very deep into AI. We know what's AI content and we're going to downgrade your website if you have a lot of it. That's what they've just came out with. So, so in other words, the more we get into AI, the AI is fortunately or unfortunately, it's not going away. It's only get more intensified built into every product now, right? Gmail now has AI and everything has AI. Now it's going to get even more embedded. The more that happens, the more there's room for authentic humanity in content and [00:47:00] offers and connections. Meaning like. AI is never going to get right the way that we are quirks the way that we pause on video because it's very natural. Yes, they'll get, please have 17 percent pauses for this video bot, but it's always going to feel off. It'll be Sarah: weird. It'll feel weird. Yeah, very strange. Yeah. Yeah, no, I love that. I knew that there would be alignment and it sounds like, yeah, you're using it for similar things. I, I also love, like, for example on LinkedIn posts where I want to do a list of emojis, you know, instead of the bullet points have emojis. It used to take me hours to look up a couple of emojis, give it the content and say, give me the emojis. And George: yeah, I asked AI, I have, of course, I know all the emojis. You can keep, keep, keep having a conversation. Give me more unique emojis. Well, what about this? What about that? And like, [00:48:00] I just look, look at it as a extended, Search engine. That's all it is. Like I help it solve problems. I figure trying to research things like those are, it's really fast at that. So let it do it, you know, Sarah: wonderful. Great. Well, wow. I can't wait for more of you, more of your. Content and more of the one 11 formula. So please everyone have a look at the workshop. It's under humane dot marketing forward slash workshop, and it takes place on April 2nd. And we'd love to see you there. So can't wait for that, George, so much gratitude for you. Where can people find you if they can't make it to the podcast? Yeah. Oh the workshop. George: Tell anything is you can. Actually, this, this will be a fun exercise. Go to AI chat bot, chat GPT, Google Gemini being being chat and ask, tell me about George cow, authentic business coach. And then let it no, really. It's like, [00:49:00] okay, given what you know about George authentic business coach, what might he say? About this question that I have, I really welcome it and I'm actively, I'm like, well, it's going to take my job anyway. So I might as well actively partner with it to help me take my job so I can do, I can do more better work than this. Sarah: Have you experimented with the, with a chatbot? Bought George: I, I have, I have a custom experiment. I have a custom GPT Okay. Called the Authentic Business Coach. So those of you who have a chat, GPT subscription pro subscription or plus subscription, can actually find the authentic business coach Chat custom GPT, which are trained on all books. Oh, wonderful. My, I'll look that up. They're trained on all my books and it tries to sound like me, but of course, , it's, I, I talk with him myself. I'm like, yeah, you, you, you got it. Like. 60 percent right, what I might say, but it's, it's okay. It's better than nothing. Sarah: It's fun. Yeah. It's just fun to experiment with. Wonderful. Yeah. So go to chat GPT and look for George cow there. And otherwise you'll also find [00:50:00] them on on YouTube wherever, George: wherever, wherever, wherever books are sold and that Sarah: too. Yeah.

The renowned technology magnate and Facebook's Chief Executive, Mark Zuckerberg, appears to have made a discreet departure in the high-end Woodside neighborhood in California. Emerging reports from real estate insider sources suggest that a company associated with Zuckerberg swiftly transferred the ownership of a 'Europeanesque mansion.' This precipitous property deal has sparked widespread chatter about the secretive nature of Zuckerberg's real estate activities. Significantly, this swap marks the second time the tech pioneer has silently divested of a property in California. The sumptuous residence, hidden in the verdant embrace of 75 Roberta Drive, showcases an impressive 4,800-square-foot home nestled within an ample expanse of 3.5 acres. Per Zillow's data, the grand residential marvel equipped with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths has been signed off in an attention-grabbing $29.6 million deal as of March 4, the San Mateo County records confirm. Enclosed within private gates, the property is home to a fully-equipped chef-grade kitchen, an expansive open-plan living and dining space with welcoming access to the broad outdoor area. Additionally, it offers the enchanting prospect of enjoying an al fresco meal with a view of the modern patio and various outdoors features. These comprise of a swimming pool, a hot tub, and an alluring open fireplace set on 'park-like grounds.' The residence also comfortably accommodates multiple electric car charging ports and a sizable garage. Much like the swift nature of the property sale, the specific details regarding the property brokers who facilitated the transaction were kept under wraps. This includes Mary Gullixson, a seasoned agent at Compass, who was in charge of the listing before but stated she wasn't involved with this recent sale. Going down the ownership rabbit hole uncovers a complex system of unnamed corporations. The sales entity, identified as 75 Roberta LLC, traces its management lineage to the A7P Services. Reports suggest this enigmatic LLC is stationed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Interestingly, the office address of A7P Services matches that of A7P Trust Company Inc. Trustee, as found in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, it isn't the first time this particular trustee company has been noticed entwined with Zuckerberg's affairs. There's an intriguing tale about Jack Sweeney, man popular for monitoring the private flights of prominent figures like Elon Musk and singer Taylor Swift. Sweeney had once tracked Zuckerberg's aircraft using its registration code, finding it tied directly back to this very A7P Trust. On closer examination, Apercen Partners, a respected tax consultancy firm serving the Silicon Valley elite, emerges as the signatory for 75 Roberta's company registration. Apercen's connections with Zuckerberg and his family stem from past high-profile transactions like the purchase of a $22.3 million townhouse in New York City back in 2015. Zuckerberg's venture into and out of the property world isn't limited to Woodside alone. He maintains an impressive portfolio across California and Hawaii, with his real estate holdings valuated at a whopping $320 million. The tech giant's knack for real estate also displayed in 2022, when he sold a magnificent San Francisco mansion valued at $31 million. Still, he holds onto a residential block in Palo Alto that covers half a city block. Be Sure To Like Real News Now on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/RealNewsNowApp/ Despite these intriguing series of real estate moves by the tech leader, the representatives from Zuckerberg's team maintained silence and didn't respond immediately to the request for comments from The Post. The shroud of secrecy around these real estate shifts presents an intricate puzzle that only time will unravel. This strings of property transactions points to a broader trend of the tech elite, like Zuckerberg, remaining relatively flexible with their real estate investments. Picking up and offloading properties with haste, and often maintaining a level of privacy that leaves the public playing guessing games. Zuckerberg's deft and discreet moves around his real estate portfolio maintain the intrigue and speculation inherent in his high-profile life. Whether these shifts are part of a wider investment strategy, a simple reshuffling of assets, or tied to personal reasons, remain topics of conjecture. While the tech giant's real estate maneuvers raise both eyebrows and questions, they also quite adeptly highlight the realm of possibilities and maneuvers available in the world of luxury real estate. Undoubtedly these sort of real estate activities of the Silicon Valley elite provide a fascinating glimpse into how the other half lives. Parallels are often drawn with other tech heavyweights who showcase a knack for handling their realty portfolios with a similar level of complexity, privacy, and intrigue. As these stories unfold, they continue to paint a compelling picture of the lifestyles and business acumen of the world's leading tech magnates.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Lost in Time: The Enigmatic Journey through Kalemegdan Fortress Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/lost-in-time-the-enigmatic-journey-through-kalemegdan-fortress Story Transcript:Sr: Ана је, вукла је за собом свој ковчег кроз уске улице Београда, док је августовско сунце полако зашло зад Цркву Светог Марка. На отпутовању је била, дуготрајном, да измири све животне пропусте, а прва станица је била Калемегданска тврђава.En: Ana was dragging her suitcase through the narrow streets of Belgrade, while the August sun was slowly setting behind the Church of Saint Mark. She was on a journey, a long one, to reconcile all the missed opportunities in her life, and the first stop was the Kalemegdan Fortress.Sr: Ана је стигла на Калемегдан тамо негде када се дан почео гасити. А кад све потоне у тму, чинило се као да је тврђава одведе у другу димензију. И ту је претпоставка о конфузији добила потпуно нову форму.En: Ana arrived at Kalemegdan around the time when the day started fading away. And as everything sank into darkness, it seemed as if the fortress took her to another dimension. And there, the assumption of confusion took on a completely new form.Sr: Ана је, идећи кроз сенке камена, постала свесна одједном да се изгубила. Да ли је скренула лево код старог канона или је требала ићи право код великог лавовског споменика? Све је почело да се врти. Трепутави зраци ситне светлости кроз дебело лишће нису били довољни да јој покажу пут.En: Walking through the shadows of the stones, Ana suddenly became aware that she was lost. Did she turn left at the old cannon or was she supposed to go straight at the large lion statue? Everything started spinning. The flickering rays of dim light through the thick foliage were not enough to show her the way.Sr: Паника је полако почела да се усељава. Не жели да приспава у овом месту искашљалом из небеског скривеница, где статуе могу почети шапутати у полуноћи, као што старе приче кажу. Сећала се једне бакине: „Калемегдански витезови оживе кад се сат са Сахат куле окрене према месечини...“En: Panic slowly began to set in. She did not want to spend the night in this place of hidden celestial hideaways, where statues could start whispering at midnight, as old stories say. She remembered one of her grandma's tales: "The Kalemegdan knights come to life when the clock on the Sahat Tower turns towards the moon..."Sr: Онда је видела светлост, траг свеће како се ближе. То је био стари чувар, невисок доста кршан човек. Он је почео да јој показује пут. Прыкри их ниче кроз многонасељени лавиринт и на крају је извео на главни плatoi.En: Then she saw a light, a candle trail getting closer. It was the old guard, a rather robust man of short stature. He began to show her the way. Quietly, they navigated through the densely populated labyrinth and eventually emerged at the main plateau.Sr: Радости њене није било краја. Задовољство је обасяло њено лице када је изасла на пространство тврђаве, с масивном капијом која је водила назад у град.En: Her joy knew no bounds. Satisfaction illuminated her face as she stepped out onto the fortress space, with the massive gate leading back into the city.Sr: "Хвала Вам пуно!" извикнула је Ана, осмехујући се широко чувару.En: "Thank you very much!" Ana exclaimed, smiling broadly at the guard.Sr: Погледавши је према нејој руци коју је држала испружену за захвалност, видео је главну капију која се полако затварала. Вратио је поглед према Ани, смејући се и рекавши: "Врати се увек, само не у полуноћи...“En: Glancing towards her outstretched hand in gratitude, he saw the main gate slowly closing. He returned his gaze to Ana, smiling and saying, "Come back anytime, just not at midnight..."Sr: Централни сукоб је напокон решен. Али, да ли је било поуке из тога? Одговор је увек био једноставан, шта било да се десило, Ана је увек била спремна да се изнова изгуби, али никада без циља. Управо је у томе била чари живота.En: The central conflict was finally resolved. But was there a lesson to be learned from it? The answer was always simple, no matter what happened, Ana was always ready to get lost again, but never without a goal. That was the charm of life.

Together, we'll explore the intricate balance between diet, physical appearance, and professional life, breaking down macros and the profound impact of strategic eating on our energy levels and fulfillment. We'll confront the fear of carbs, the misconceptions of fats, and the discipline required to hold fast to our health goals, even when temptation abounds.

It is becoming very clear that the democrats want Joe Biden gone. Even Hillary Clinton called Joe Biden's age and cognitive decline a “legitimate issue.” Forgotten in all of this are his lies about his handling of Biden's classified documents found strewn across the East Coast. Even CNN fact checked Joe Biden's lies, but don't think their coverage is anything about the search for the truth, it's not. It is about preparing democrats for the ouster of Joe Biden and the installment of a new candidate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fran works as a project manager for a marketing company, and she is responsible to secure new clients and then manage their projects to completion. Today we find Fran finishing a conversation with one of her clients. "Yes, Marge, I will do my very best to have that ready by tomorrow. Uh-huh, yes, I understand. Okay, Marge, I'll talk to you tomorrow.” Fran hangs up the phone and begins talking to herself, forgetting for a moment that Jesus, of course, hears everything she says or thinks. "I don't believe that woman. She is going to drive me nuts! Nothing we do is good enough for her. She makes last minute changes and then expects me to work miracles. And she is so rude. I really can't stand her!" Quietly she can sense the Spirit of God whispering to her: "Did you ever think that I love her as much as I love you?" The thought startles her. "Well, yeah sure I knew that,” she thinks out loud. “You love everybody, Lord. But she's a really nasty, demanding person. I'm sorry; I just don't like her." As these thoughts continue, her mind goes back to a recent sermon she heard where her pastor said that there were people Jesus didn't like, but he loved everybody. He had said that you don't have to like everybody, but our commandment is to show God's love to everybody. "I thought you have to like someone, then you can love them,” Fran says to herself, “but I guess that's not the way it is with God. The problem is, I just don't know how to do it. There's just no way I can love Marge. She's obnoxious!” "Do you want to love her?" again that quiet voice of Jesus catches her up short. "Do I really want to love her? Tell you the truth—not really," Fran admits. “I guess that's where my problem lies, isn't it Lord? But how can I even want to love someone like her?" Fran exclaims. As she sits and thinks about that, Jesus says to her, “You can want to love her simply because you want to please me. I can help you love her. Why don't you begin by praying for Marge every day?” “Pray for Marge every day?” Fran repeats. “Really—will that make a difference?” Jesus says, “It will make a difference in you, and that's what is important.” So, Fran determines to pray for Marge as Jesus has challenged her. Now she begins to do the work she promised Marge tomorrow, working diligently to get it perfect, because Marge is very demanding. The next morning Fran is driving to work and praying for a lot of people, as she often does, and Marge comes to mind. "I'd like to pray that lightning will strike her," Fran says with a grin, knowing she halfway means it. But she attempts to pray for her, "Dear Lord, please help Marge to see how obnoxious she is and change the way she treats me.” Her prayer bounces off the car ceiling; she knows it's the wrong prayer. "Pray that Marge will change?” Jesus says to her. “That's not exactly how you should pray for her, Fran.” “But Lord, she should change. Her behavior is awful," Fran defends herself. Her spirit is uneasy. Somehow, she has to get beyond this selfish kind of praying, even though Marge is difficult. She can't change Marge; she can only change herself. "Well, what should I pray?" Fran finally asks. And then she thought of something she heard on the radio—praying that she could see Marge the way God sees her. Praying for a new frame for Marge, a new way to see her, by putting her in a different frame. "Put her in a different frame,” Fran thinks. “I guess I can do that, but she really is obnoxious.” As she drives along, she thinks about that further. “I guess I've had her in the obnoxious frame too long. Maybe I should pray for a new frame for Marge—a new way to look at her.” So, even though she feels a little foolish and not totally sincere, in obedience Fran starts her prayer again: "Dear Lord, please help me to see Marge the way you do. And please give me a new frame to put her in. There's got to be something good about her, Lord.

Quietly, but persistently, the American elite are laying the groundwork to have Donald Trump murdered rather than let him back into the White House. In a remarkable conversation at Amfest, Steve Bannon explains to Charlie the regime's desperation, and what specifically has them so utterly fearful of getting Trump another four years in power.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
