At our last Coffee & Connection event at Workshop Local, Anna Nash shared some vulnerable and comical personal stories of her own tendency towards multi-tasking, helping us get to the heart of why so many of us struggle in this area. Anna also gave us some practical tips to help us move to a more peaceful, slower pace as we seek to live a more purposeful life. Learn with us: "So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." Romans 12:1,2 (Message) “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28 (Message) Mark 6:30-44 Jesus Feeds the 5,000 Suggested reading: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Spiritually Alive in the Chaos of the Modern World by John Mark Comer and John Ortberg A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W.

“We've been doing AI since before it was a household name, but most recently with the semantic search capability,” says Scott Kendrick, who's the Senior Vice President of Strategy and Alliances at CallMiner. “We are allowing our users to get insight more easily and readily with our system. Leveraging models to allow for somewhat of a natural language interface to query context, you know, ask for interactions that may have had a certain characteristic and getting responses from those.” “Sure. CallMiner is a conversation intelligence platform. What we do is analyze interactions that happen between companies and their customers. And those can be interactions with humans or humans and bots, or even one-sided pieces of feedback, so a review or possibly a response within the survey platform. We analyze all that information and provide performance improvement direction for contact centers and their agents, but also general business intelligence insights in terms of other ways that they can improve their business.” In this special EC24 Snom at the Show TR Podcast, we also learn about the CallMiner channel program, and more details on how resellers gain with CallMiner.

Today, I want to focus on a very simple yet profound statement that I hope you will memorize and repeat as needed. What I allow God to transform in me, I will be able to transfer to my children. Let's repeat that … What I allow God to transform in me, I will be able to transfer to my children Listen to Paul in Romans 12:1-2 … Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Notice how God transforms us into a new person … by changing the way we think. And the way God thinks is opposite of the world. Listen to this passage again in The Message Bible … So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. If changing your thinking can transform you, what needs to change about your thinking? How does God want to transform you by changing the way you think? And how will that transformation positively transform your children? Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, change my mind. Change my heart. Help me to be shaped by You and not the world. And please help me to stay motivated to grow in You for the sake of my kids. As above, so below.”
What Matters Most Pastor Wes Morris Romans 12:2 (MSG) Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.Romans 1:20-25 (NLT) For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie.✓ If it feels good, do it.✓ It's not hurting anyone.✓ It's my body, I can do what I want.I Corinthians 6:18-20 (NIV) Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.WHAT MATTERS MOST I. PURITY MATTERS.II Corinthians 7:1 (GNT) All these promises are made to us, my dear friends. So then, let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God. II. INTIMACY MATTERS.Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV) Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.Ephesians 4:2-3 (TLB) Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Try always to be led along together by the Holy Spirit and so be at peace with one another. III. HOLINESS MATTERS.II Corinthians 7:1 (NLT) Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.II Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. But Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth, while his father, Terah, was still living. 31-32 One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram's wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran's child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran.Isaiah 43:2 (NLT) When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.✓ PROBLEMS✓ PEOPLEMark 9:50 (TLB) Good salt is worthless if it loses its saltiness; it can't season anything.

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.23.29769 In this podcast, Bahram Mohajer, MD, MPH introduces a study on AI's role in assessing endotracheal tube positions on chest radiographs. The study demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in identifying tube presence and positioning, especially in critical cases. The AI system's potential to expedite detection and reduce delays in repositioning is highlighted. While the study's strengths include a large sample size and multi-institutional data, the author acknowledges limitations such as the retrospective design and lack of clinical outcome data. The podcast concludes by emphasizing the promising impact of AI on radiologists' efficiency and patient safety, with the need for further validation and integration into diverse healthcare settings.
What do you intend to give back for God's Love? What do you intend to give back for the sacrifice Jesus made for you and I? In the last podcast - Episode 311, the focus was on praising God for sending His son Jesus as a permanent sacrifice to bridge the gap between man and God. Jesus was sent to reconcile us back to God. Halleluyah! Today, we will be moving from Receiving to Giving mode. We have received God's best gift - Jesus! His life! His blood! His love! His Holy Spirit! What are we required to give back as a proof of our love to our Father? What should be our proper response to God's marvelous mercies? Our response is to surrender ourselves to God to be his holy, living sacrifices just as Jesus did. This time around- we die to self, we daily die to desires contrary to God's will. We choose to live in holiness by the help of the Spirit of God. Rom 12:1 will give a better explanation “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 NKJV I love the MSG Translation- “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” Romans 12:1-2 MSG Remember, as the priests were required to make a daily sacrifice of lambs, for them to enjoy God's daily abiding and manifest presence and power, so we must daily die to self- Taking our everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and placing it before God as an offering so we can reign as God's priests and kings as God intended. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abimbola-arawande/message

Frontier Energy (ASX: FHE; OTCQB: FRHYF) is on track to become a profitable Australian energy producer. As the world continues to grapple with the current energy transition and as high electricity prices are forecasted over the next decade, Frontier Energy aims to capitalize on these undeniable trends. Frontier's strategy is to produce electricity from both solar energy and a peaking plant. The peaking plant will utilize both natural gas supplied via a pipeline and eventually green hydrogen. The green hydrogen will be produced onsite via electrolysis using Frontier Energy's solar power during low-cost energy periods. The company has all key approvals, permits, and licenses in place to commence development on the project next year. The first cashflow is expected in 2025. Frontier Energy's competitive advantage is its existing critical infrastructure, agreements, and permits. Having these in place saves the company at minimum five years of waiting and hundreds of millions of dollars in capex. Frontier Energy already has a connection to the electrical grid with capacity of 1.1GW, access to a nearby natural gas pipeline, agreement to purchase water from a nearby pipeline, and landholdings sufficient for +1GW of solar coverage.

Collected in the heavens to hear the dialogue of Bharata and Sri Rama, heavenly beings applaud the two brothers. Having decided upon his course of action, Sri Rama turns his face towards his hut; while pleading his inability to protect the kingdom, now that his attempts to take Sri Rama back to Ayodhya had been frustrated, Bharata prays to Sri Rama for mercy once more. But when he comes to know that his elder brother cannot be made to swerve an inch from his vow, he places a new pair of wooden sandals decked with gold and requests him to place his feet on them. Readily acceding to his request, Sri Rama hands over the sandals to Bharata, who takes a vow before the former to enter the fire in case he did not return immediately on the expiry of his term of exile. Sri Rama confirms his vow and after embracing Bharata and Satrughna and bidding good-bye to all with due respect according to the rank of each, enters his cottage.

It is an honour to have the world famous cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough join us on Hearts of Oak again. We are getting a taster of the political shockwaves that are coming down the line with presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy recently saying that the public were duped on the COVID Jab and of course we have RFK Jr actively red-pilling the left. And just in the last week we have seen another slew of data on vaccine harms and excess deaths. The truth will be told and Dr McCullough is leading the vanguard as one of the main catalysts of getting this information out to the public. Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, managing the cardiovascular complications of both the viral infection and the injuries developing after the COVID-19 vaccine in Dallas, TX, USA. Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published “Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection,” the first synthesis of sequenced multidrug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine. McCullough has 51 peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has commented extensively on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in The Hill, America Out Loud, and on FOX NEWS Channel. On November 19, 2020, Dr. McCullough testified in the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and throughout 2021 in the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, Colorado General Assembly, New Hampshire Senate, and South Carolina Senate concerning many aspects of the pandemic response. Dr. McCullough has two years of dedicated academic and clinical efforts in combating the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In doing so, he has reviewed thousands of reports, participated in scientific congresses, group discussions, press releases, and been considered among the world's experts on COVID-19. Dr. McCullough is also known for his iconic views on the state of medical truth in America and around the globe. He pierces through the thin veil of mainstream media stories that skirt the major issues and provide no tractable basis for durable insight. McCullough aims to bring critical information and insights to the viewers and listeners in a concise and understandable format. Sit back, take notes if you are so inclined, and you will always come away better informed and more settled in your direction forward regarding personal and family medical navigation, home and health products, diagnostic tests, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and the path forward for you and your loved ones.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Hello, Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview coming up in a moment with Dr. Peter McCullough. He re-joined us, having been with us last year, and we start on the political side. I saw him at CPAC, and Vivek Ramaswamy, who is a US presidential candidate for the Republicans, said on a talk show he was duped, and the American people were duped, on COVID vaccines. He said if he was doing it again, he would do it differently. Wow. So I asked Dr. McCullough his thoughts on that, And then on his thoughts on Robert Kennedy Jr. standing for the Democrats and how that will blow up in the conversation on the left. Then we're going to just a number of reports and studies that have come out. Trida vaccine injury syndromes converges on victims and Dr. McCullough said this is what he's seen more and more regularly. This is the usual syndrome that he is seeing. And long COVID, being vaxxed. So it seems as though there's a correlation with that, talking about mRNA in breast milk and the impact this has on pregnant women and their unborn children. Then the reactivation of funding, federal funding for the Eco Health Alliance, unbelievable, but it is true. Even though they've been discredited, they've now been handed half a million dollars for funding. And then myocarditis, not recovering 80% of six months after vaccination, only 20% of young people are recovering within six months from myocarditis. And Dr. McCullough writes this in his sub stack that you need to go to and delve into this and understand this more deeply. And then we end up with excess deaths. Huge range of topics. And as always, Dr. McCullough brings his expert analysis to all of them. And hello, Hearts of Oak. It is wonderful to have back with us once again, the world-renowned cardiologist and chief scientific officer of The Wellness Company. That's Dr. Peter McCullough. Dr. McCullough, thank you for your time today. (Dr Peter McCullough) Thanks for having me. Not at all. And I understand that you are one of the most published cardiologists ever in America. I think it was a thousand publications and 660 citations. So you bring a wealth of understanding and knowledge and background to this. So I appreciate your time today. Thank you. You know, people have always asked, what do all those citations mean? You know, as a general rule in the National Library of Medicine, about 25 citations would qualify somebody to be a professor of medicine. And those who really race up in terms of their academic contributions, it just means they've looked at more data. There's been more scholarship. I focused on heart and kidney disease at interaction, made key discoveries, led key innovative groups, you know, in many areas of medicine. I've led data safety monitoring boards for important drugs, devices, strategies, presented at the European Medicine Agencies, the National Institutes of Health, New York Academy of Sciences. So I was well known in medicine before COVID-19. Now, since the pandemic, I've directed my scholarship entirely to the, pandemic response, have over 60 peer-reviewed publications in this area, including the seminal papers describing the methods of treating COVID-19 to reduce hospitalization and death. Wow, well I want to delve into the medical side but as I saw you at, as I said before, saw you whenever I was over at CPAC and you were always in many interviews being mobbed, but, if I could ask you some, two political thoughts I had. I saw that Vivek Ramaswamy, who's a candidate for presidential candidate, standing for the Republican side. I think a few days ago, he had said, I think it was the Steve Deace show, that he well, he had had two doses of the jab, but he said that he was duped. And I thought that was quite key. And then he went on to say if he was if he were to do it again, he wouldn't have done it the same way. But that for him to say he was duped, what were your thoughts whenever you heard a presidential candidate saying something like that. You know, we've been looking for some signals from the presidential candidates regarding the vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccine debacle is one of the biggest issues on the minds of Americans, and many of the candidates have been skirting around it. They just haven't addressed where they stood. And congratulations to Steve Deace, a friend of mine who, you know, Ramaswamy is a young man. He doesn't have considerable experience. You know, many think that young candidates, they're largely angling from some experience and maybe a cabinet position. But it was nice when Deace asked him directly about it, where he said he took the two shots, he regretted it. He felt America was duped. That means to be fooled or deceived by the government narrative. Said he would have done things differently. And so he left it open. I think that's journalists like yourself and others will have to ask him, well, what would he have done differently there? A young man like him who's thin and fit, there's no theoretical benefit of the vaccines, just the real harms, the real hard data on fatal and non-fatal vaccine injury syndrome. So he probably felt like he, later on, realized he took a personal risk with his health and regrets it. Now, that's on the Republican side and I'm curious and intrigued to see how that's brought into the debate. But on the Democrat side, you have Robert Kennedy Jr. And whenever he announced he was running, I was fascinated because he would be on the opposite political side as me. But actually, during the last three years, you rub shoulders with people you wouldn't normally. And he has been extremely vocal throughout his whole life on vaccines. And what were your thoughts on that? Because I think that could just blow the whole discussion, because again, you're thinking to the Democrat side, this conversation maybe hasn't been had as fully as maybe on the right. And him stepping into that, to me that changes the whole conversation. It certainly does. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who's the son of the late Bobby Kennedy, our former attorney general, and the nephew of John F. Kennedy, certainly comes from a storied, family history of politics. He's a lifelong Democrat. He's not anti-vaccine. I know him very well. He's simply pushing for safe and effective vaccines. He doesn't want to see any more Americans harmed by vaccine side effects. The benefits of any vaccine are not, compelling enough to have harm done to the population. And we know since 1986, all the vaccine manufacturers have liability protection. So that isn't fair when someone is paralyzed or has a terrible side effect from a vaccine. And I think pretty clearly he believes no one should, receive any pressure, coercion, or threat of reprisal for vaccines. It shouldn't be mandated for school or for employment or military service. And we should have, all the states in the country should have full tripartite vaccine exemptions, meaning philosophical exemption, don't feel like you don't need to take it on philosophical grounds, religious and medical. So there should be freedom. He's pushing for freedom. This is very important. Medical freedom is related to social and economic freedoms. They're all related. And that's what I told America when I gave my Lincoln Memorial address. You know, that was a few minutes before Kennedy was up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with me. So I think we're very well aligned on this. You know, what I find interesting is that the COVID Community States Program weighed in from North-eastern University and Harvard, and a huge sample. So they actually figured out who took the vaccine. And the answer is in America, 25% of adult Americans, like me, did not take the vaccine. I didn't take the COVID vaccine. Best decision I ever made. I feel great. I don't have to worry about blood clots or heart damage or any of these lingering effects that we're seeing now. So many people who skipped the vaccine are so grateful they made the right choice. So that 25%, many of them actually suffered reprisal for doing this. They lost their jobs, family strife. There was a lot of unnecessary consequences that happened to people who made the right decision. Now, We only have 60% of the adult Americans who vote, only 60% vote. The 25% who didn't take the vaccine like me are likely to vote. So now we have nearly half of the voting block for the presidency where the vaccine is the issue. And everybody wants to know where do the candidates stand on the failed COVID-19 vaccines. That uptick really intrigued me and it's something that's come out in the UK that we now have a database you can put in your zip code for you over there or postcode and you can find out supposedly the uptake and one of the striking things on that is the booster uptick is around 1 to 2% in many areas and I probably didn't necessarily believe a lot of the data that were getting. But that 25% that didn't, I thought, wow, there's at last some honesty with the figures. And I guess you looking at these figures of the last three years, there's been massive scepticism of the information we're being told. Well, I'm glad you mentioned that because as the COVID Community States Program, which was an academic epidemiologic program, as they were reporting 25% unvaccinated, the CDC at that time was reporting 8% unvaccinated. Well, what's the difference? And the answer is the CDC was over counting. If patients forgot their vaccine card, they went to a different pharmacy, they could have had a new card started at the booster stage and been counted again. So we now know that the CDC does not have accurate vaccination data. There tended to be overestimating vaccination. Our CDC is currently reporting 16% booster uptake, and that's almost certainly an overestimate. We need to know booster uptake by time. Because the boosters only last theoretically six months. Clinically, it's about half of that. So no matter who took a booster more than six months ago, they're effectively unvaccinated. Yeah. If I can just discuss some of the things you've posted, even just the last week on Twitter, and of course, if people go to your Twitter handle, they can get the link to your Substack, the website, everything is there and encourage people to to sign up. Certainly your Substack, which has been a fantastic source of information for many of us. And one of the actually it was America Outloud.com, which I know you write for, had the headline you put up a few days ago was try to vaccine injury syndromes converges on victims. It said amongst the most common and frustrating COVID-19 vaccine injury syndromes are small fibre neuropathy, pleurodynia and POTS, which I can't even pronounce what's there, and you had a lady who came on and acted as if she was going to see her doctor and discussed what, but tell us about some, because we hear all different side effects and we'll maybe touch on myocarditis a little bit, but it was those three coming together and it seems to be every week, every two weeks, there's another issue that comes up. It's true, but this triad that I pointed out far and away is the most common constellation. I've been seeing patients now with vaccine injuries now for two years, you know, steady flow in the clinic, so I really have a good handle on this. And so the triage is the following. One is pleurodynia, just some nonspecific chest pain. Sometimes it hurts to cough or take a deep breath or laugh. Sometimes when they put pressure on the chest, one can feel pain, which is called pleurodynia. The next one is a small fibre neuropathy, that is feeling numbness and tingling, prickling in the hands and the feet, usually sometimes the back of the legs. And then the third is POTS or Posterior Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. And patients will recognize this because their heart rate unexpectedly will shoot up when they're doing nothing, then go down. Blood pressure up and down. When they exercise, things seem to be out of proportion to what they need in terms of exercise, and they feel generally unwell. And so I was lucky enough to have a patient reach out to me. She's very sophisticated, and she gave consent, and she told us her story and she had that triad. And I went through the questions I would ask her, the tests I would order to rule out serious problems like myocarditis, like major problems in the central nervous system, et cetera. And then what medicinal empiric approach would I take? And for the pleurodynia, the drug I prescribed the most is called Colchicine. This is a form of an anti-inflammatory. There's about two dozen trials in acute COVID-19 showing that it plays a role. So we know it's helpful there. The largest one of note's called the CO-Corona trial done out of the Montreal Heart Institute, over 4,000 subjects, probably the best and largest outpatient COVID study. So colchicine is also used to treat gout and forms of inflammation. So it seems to be very important for the pleurodinium. For the POTS, the posterior orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. That's actually too much adrenaline being released from the sympathetic chain of ganglia in the neck as well as the adrenal glands. And I found that it was a relatively underutilized beta blocker called Natalo, which has what's called intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. It seems to modulate the alpha and beta receptors just the way we need in order for that nervous system feedback loop to the brain to be corrected. And then the final triage in this entire problem is actually dissolving the spike protein itself, which is loaded up with COVID-19, the illness and serial vaccines. Remember, we get spike protein in our body, we can't get it out for months, if not a year or more, after the infection, as well as the vaccines. Each shot of the vaccine installs large amounts of spike protein. There we're utilizing nattokinase. Nattokinase is a natural enzyme that's derived from the fermentation of soy is discovered by the Japanese. A bacteria that breaks it down is Bacillus subtilis natto. And it creates this fermented product as an enzyme. The Japanese have been using it for over a thousand years. That is eat consuming natto. But we now have a supplement they've used for about two decades. They use it for cardiovascular applications. a form of a blood thinner, so it's a serious supplement to take. The current recommended dose is 2,000 fibrinolytic units or 100 milligrams twice a day, it's well within the range of safety. It's been safety tested up to 80,000 units at a single time, so it's well within the safety limit. The caveats are bleeding, mucosal bleeding from the nose or mouth, and then a soy allergies. Otherwise, it is a safe supplement. It's not immediate that this three-component therapeutic program works, but most patients after two months, they start to come back and they start to feel like they're on the way back. So I wanted to share that. Many of the doctors that are sought out nowadays are with The Wellness Company. I advise that company as a chief scientific officer so they're well aware of that approach. But I have to tell you, that's my most common approach I use in clinic and I'm glad we finally found something that can help people through this. I've tried hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, fluvoxamine, prednisone, a whole variety of different drugs and I've really settled on these three. Two prescription drugs and then one over-the-counter supplement. That's really helpful. And I think many people are concerned that if they did have any of these and they went to see their normal doctor, that actually in the doctor's mind would not be thinking that actually these could be related and therefore their concerns could be dismissed. I agree. The first question a patient should ask a doctor is, did they take the COVID vaccine and did they push it on their patients? And if they did, the patient ought to have a serious conversation with it because that doctor made some grave mistakes with his or her own healthcare and obviously pushed a dangerous vaccine on their patients. And we now know large numbers of people have died after the vaccine, have suffered injuries or disabilities, and those doctors really owe their patients an apology. There was another tweet, you said, most people with long COVID are vaxxed, so multiple spike protein exposures are making Americans sick. And I know I've talked to UK friends and US friends, they seem to think the solution to long COVID is getting a booster and another booster. And tell me, tell us about that, because people are ill and with long COVID and some people it's quite a dark journey. It's true. Long COVID, remember this occurred before the vaccine, so the respiratory illness clearly causes it. It almost exclusively occurs in people who are sick enough to be hospitalized, about 50% will have it. They feel generally unwell, weight loss of skeletal muscle, hair loss, skin and nail changes, headache, ear ringing, fatigue, brain fog. It really bothers people. Now, with lesser degrees of severity of COVID, there's less and less long COVID. The best way to prevent it is actually early treatment. If we can snuff out the virus very early and get relatively little exposure to the virus in the body, that's the best way to do it. We again believe what's driving this is the pathogenic spike protein, the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Now, the vaccines install more spike protein. So there's no way the vaccine can make it better. It's going to clearly make it worse. But what we have in many countries, a good example is Australia, I was just there a few months ago. Virtually all of Australia was pre-vaccinated. They were all pre-vaccinated. Because the vaccines don't work, they get COVID anyway. So those who are having long COVID, it's far more severe in Australia because they've been pre-vaccinated and they've been loaded with the spike protein. So then we have to work our way out of it. But I wouldn't want anybody to think we should take a vaccine to reduce the chances of long COVID because the vaccines don't work, people get COVID anyway, and it just makes the long COVID syndromes worse. And so as we sit here today, a paper by Claussen and colleagues from Harvard suggests that 94% of Americans have already had COVID. I've already told you 75% took vaccines. So anybody with long COVID likely has had both exposures. Yeah, absolutely. There was another study or news piece from Trialsite News and that was on maternal mortality skyrocketing, gestational thrombotic complications up and MRA in the breast milk. And I think the MRA in the breast milk, that should fill a lot of people with big concern. I know that's been talked about before, but I mean, tell us about this because you end that tweet by saying COVID vaccine should never have been allowed in pregnant women. Early in 2021, Dr. Raphael Stricker in San Francisco, who runs, by the way, the largest fetal loss centre in the United States, he's an expert. He's an allergist, immunologist, but he's an expert on pregnant women and losing their babies. And Dr. Stricker and I published in trial site news that the COVID-19s were vaccine category X, and that's a regulatory category saying that they have a dangerous mechanism of action. They install the lethal spike protein in the body, and we have no experience in pregnant women. They were excluded from randomized trials and no assurances would be safe to the woman or the baby, none whatsoever. So it's pregnancy category X. It's very important. Pregnant women should have never taken the vaccine. Never, never. It doesn't matter what the doctors say. Pregnant women are responsible for themselves, their bodies, and their babies. Now, pregnant women have a lower risk of severe COVID outcomes as shown by Pinellas and colleagues in a paper in Annals of Internal Medicine. So, we weren't worried about pregnant women. If they got severe COVID, they're treatable, you know, and we can treat them with an array of drugs. By the way, hydroxychloroquine, very safe in pregnancy. We've, you know, it's been actually dedicated pregnancy studies with hydroxy. So, so we know for sure it's safe, as is aspirin, prednisone, and the other drugs that we normally use. Now, what's coming out is very, very disturbing. First, last summer in JAMA, a paper by Hannah and colleagues showed that breastfeeding women who take the vaccine, they actually are transmitting the messenger RNA through milk to the babies. And this is a terrible, very worrisome finding. Now genetic material getting into the bodies of recently arrived babies in the world. No idea what this is gonna do to the children. It can't be good. It's definitely not natural. The next piece of information came, first author is Hoyert, a single author paper, analysing data from the National Centre for Health Statistics. And there, it's published on the CDC website, March of 2023, showing record maternal mortality. That is, women dying during pregnancy or 42 days after the pregnancy. That was the definition according to their highest risk group, African Americans, but at all groups. They've erased progress in maternal mortality. Now, in the same sub-stack, I juxtapose the CDC report that indicates 65% of pregnant women have either taken the vaccine, ill-advised, before or during pregnancy. Despite our warnings that it's pregnancy category X, now we have the tragic case that unfolded last week of the death of U.S. Olympic sprinter Tori Bowie. And what we know there is this is just absolutely terrible. She's found dead at home, and she's seven months pregnant. The U.S. Track and Field Association has mandated COVID-19 vaccination, so they've been silent now. USTAF and family have been silent on whether or not she took the vaccine. But the concern is that she took it, and she had a fatal complication, either blood clot, heart damage, or some type of intracranial catastrophe. Wow, wow. And of course, we have learned, I think just could have been yesterday, about the reactivation of federal funding for Eco Health Alliance. To touch on that, because obviously, your government, our government, they haven't learned anything over these last three years. I think it's very intentional. Peter Daszak, who's the president of the Eco Health Alliance, they're basically an NIH contractor. They work with academic groups. They take the blueprint for viruses that are basically engineered in the lab by computer modelling by US researchers, and then they shuttle the plans over to the Chinese or other Asian countries where the the work is done in order to create new viruses. Daszak was involved in shuttling over the plans from Ralph Baric to create the chimeric SARS-CoV-2 virus. And Baric published this in 2015 in Nature Communications and proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They created SARS-CoV-2 and published the methods and how they did it, chimeric parts, of a virus from a bat, parts of a virus from a known coronavirus in order to get it to invade a human respiratory epithelial tract. Peter Daszak, early in 2021, led a group of doctors. After they had met on a conference call with Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins and Jeremy Farrar from the Wellcome Trust in the UK, Daszak led a group of authors to publish one of a series of papers. It was a dozen academic papers that were intentionally fraudulent. They were deceiving the public, describing the virus came out of nature when Daszak himself knew it came out of basically his plans that he drew up with Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. This was an intentional cover-up campaign. This came out in the U.S. House Select Committee for the Coronavirus Origins, led by House Representative Comer, and it's shocking that the NIH, and actually the branch that Fauci used to lead, the National Immunology Infectious Disease and Allergy Branch, that they actually released his former R01 grant. His R01 grant was distilled to look among different bats to try to find viral strains that could jump into humans. I mean, it's just simply asking for trouble. Daszak is off, and you know, these are small grants, it was only about $500,000. It's not the size of the grant that matters, it's the fact that he's going to be able to now shuttle academic capital to Asia. Daszak says that now he's going to take this to the Duke University branch in Singapore, but the grant describes the bat caves in China going right back to the same work. So you're right. It appears as if the NIH is wilfully blind to this active cover-up. They don't care. They're pursuing this biological threat research. They must have been given orders high up to continue to do this. We have the National Security Administration, the FBI, Department of Energy and NIH, the House and the Senate all agreeing that the origin of SARS-CoV-2 was the lab. It was a US innovation contracted to the Chinese, and it leaked out of the lab in Wuhan, China. But to continue to pursue this, many are saying, and I agree, that it's reckless, it's irresponsible, and it really shows deep complicity that the biopharmaceutical complex is at work creating more biological threats for the world. And Peter Daszak is leading the way. Well, let's certainly watch what happens on that. On the, back to the specific medical side. You had written a piece on your website, and I think the headline was, myocarditis not recovering 80% at six months after vaccination. Tell us about it, because again, people are expecting that the body can recover quickly, but this says that only 20% of people with that had recovered over six months. Another disturbing report, this comes from Yale School of Medicine. They had 17 young teenagers in the hospital with myocarditis. Remember, teenagers should be going to high school. They shouldn't be hospitalized with myocarditis. They ill-advised took one of the COVID-19 vaccines and they got in deep trouble. Sky-high troponin levels showing heart damage, probably had chest pain, shortness of breath, arrhythmias, other manifestations, and they undergo serial MRIs. Now, they did rule out any exposure to COVID, so that was very clean. This is purely due to the vaccine. And they found that in 80%, the MRI at 200 days was not getting better. 20% it got better. You know, these small areas of late gadolinium enhancement that we see on MRI, they should resolve. Previous work done years ago by Bruckman and colleagues from Germany showed that the heart can remodel a small area of inflammation. I'm concerned that the genetic material, Pfizer and Moderna, is sufficiently long-lasting, the spike protein long-lasting, the body keeps producing more of it, that the children have ongoing cardiac injury and it's not clearing up on MRI. This could leave some to have a scar, and when they have a scar they could be at increased risk for two things, heart failure later on in life or cardiac arrest, particularly with sports. Wow, and on sports, we've seen a number of sports stars. The papers seem to be regularly full of another sports star having retired early or having complications. I mean, tell us about, because the stories are there, but maybe the dots are not necessarily being joined up. Well, let's take the issue of death in young people. There's a paper on my substack that I quote from about 15 years ago, and you can find it on the Courageous Discourse sub-stack, but it was basically describing death among college students. It does happen rarely. But the point of the paper was 87% of the time, we know the cause of death. Readily apparent, you know, cancer or suicide or homicide or a drug overdose, motor vehicle accident. What we're seeing now is scores of athletes, scores, sudden death and no explanation, no explanation at all. And it's called died suddenly, Edward Dowd has compiled an entire monograph on this in the life insurance roles of sudden unexplained death skyrocketing, mortality skyrocketing in every system. John Stockton, former Utah Jazz star, is keeping track of the athletes in the United States and there's hundreds now that have died, have died on the court or in practice. It seems to be the adrenaline that precipitates the sudden death with vaccine-induced myocarditis. And we knew actually before the COVID vaccines that we can't let young people with myocarditis exercise because it will trigger a sudden death event. So we knew this ahead of time. And what's happened is the sports teams have mandated the vaccines, but they haven't provided any safety safeguards for the athletes. And so they suffer heart damage. And then during competition, we never know who's going to have a cardiac arrest. Polycritus and myself analysed this issue, using really just a blog, a public blog of European athletes went down. But it's pretty rigorous. There had to be four or more reports, and you could easily identify that the athlete went down. And the data showed this, that before COVID-19, in the stable period of about 10 or 15 years before COVID-19, the number of cardiac arrests in Europe in the professional leagues, mainly soccer and rugby, but you call football. Age 35 and below, pro and semi-pro, number of cardiac arrests 29 per year. Now, fast forward with vaccination and in 2021 forward, that number came out now, you know, comparing apples to apples, 283. So there's about a tenfold increased risk of sudden death with mass-mandated COVID-19 vaccination. We have clear fatal cases of the COVID-19 vaccines causing myocarditis and sudden death with autopsies, so we know it's happening. And now the great concern is so many athletes have taken it, and they want to know what to do. They have great regret. It's been an absolute horror for our athletes unnecessarily to be vaccinated. A story that came out just today, and again we're seeing headlines that we wouldn't have seen a year ago, I think you're probably the same there, but the headline was, I had to reread this four or five times, the headline in the Daily Mirror was, Brits are dying in their tens of thousands and we don't really have any idea why. And they talked about between May and December 2022, that 32,000 excess deaths. And to have a headline that honest, we really have no idea. That's telling. And I'm assuming, I don't know whether it's in the States, whether you are beginning to, the media are beginning to drop little headlines like that in to begin to have the conversation or not yet. No, it's starting to happen. I was on national TV this morning and the morning anchor mentioned death after vaccination, so it's starting to come up. What we know is that every mortality system is reporting skyrocketing mortality, primarily of younger individuals. A paper published by Skidmore in BMC Infectious Diseases estimated in 2021 that 278,000 Americans had died due to the vaccine. And that matches roughly what VAERS was reporting for that year with a multiplier of about 30. It's very consistent with a paper from Columbia, same year, Pentecost and Seligman. So we have multiple sources of data. We think we lost about a quarter million Americans in the first year of the campaign due to the vaccine, a similar number in the next year. We may be over 600,000. Now, that's going to exceed the amount of casualties we had in the civil war. So this is a very, very serious problem. The vaccines were considered a wartime countermeasure. So the government agencies didn't consider it a public health measure. It's not considered like a standard pharmaceutical. It's considered like basically a war initiative, where there's going to be casualties. And boy, have there been casualties with this vaccine. So, before COVID, the general mortality that we had in the United States, or in UK for that matter, is known. And then it's 40% known antecedent heart disease, 40% known cancer, or 20% other causes. But in the vast majority, it's known. Death is not a mystery in our countries. And what we're seeing now is just a large fraction where they've taken a vaccine and they've died, and the official cause of death is unknown. And when autopsies are done, two papers, one by Schwab, one by Chavez, and there's been probably about 100 necropsy studies that we're compiling at this stage, they show that when an autopsy is done, 70 to 80% of the time, they have a clear-cut cause of death that's, related to the vaccine. Fatal myocarditis, fatal intracranial haemorrhage or clotting, blood clots and pulmonary embolism, or one of the fatal immunologic syndromes. These are published in well-described vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenic peria, multi-system inflammatory disease. So we have a huge scientific base that's indicating the vaccines are essentially killing large numbers of people worldwide. And is it possible that we could get to the point where any of these companies are liable for it, or is it irrelevant who's in the White House because they've been given that protection? People have said that two conditions may ultimately drop liability shields. The broad liability is not only from the 1986 Vaccine Indemnification Act, but also from the 2005 Prep Act, which says, listen, if we have an invasion of SARS-CoV-2, it's like a war. And so the wartime countermeasures are all, you know, have immunity. But the, two conditions are fraud, that if the public was defrauded by the vaccine manufacturers or the government agencies that were advancing them, the employers that were forcing them. And then the other is actually malicious intent, that indeed, if it was intentionally designed to be harmful, maybe documents would, you know, identify intent. But fraud and malicious intent are the two things that lawyers are looking at most closely. Because, you know, some of these cases are very obvious. Some take the vaccine, they die right in the vaccine centre, or they die the next day. Now, in the UK, as well as the United States, our government, by the way, holds both datasets. They have the entire death database, and they have the vaccine administration database. And if they merge them, we can see how many people die in the first day, in the second day, and look at the temporal relationship. Any death within 30 days, according to regulatory practice, should be assigned to the new drug, in this case the COVID-19 vaccine. And what's the, I mean, I had Tom Fitton on a few days ago from Judicial Watch, and they use freedom of information requests, which we have the same system here. They use it at another level than I've seen before. But will that have to be used as a way to get the data? Because obviously some of the data that had been released from Pfizer, there's so much and it's still been gone through. Will it have to be other freedom of information requests to get more of this data to actually put the jigsaw together. It's true. Well, you point out that the pharmaceutical companies kept their own separate safety data by obligation to the U.S. FDA for 90 days after release. So anything that happens 90 days after they release the product, they have to record everything. Pfizer had recorded 1,223 deaths within a few hours or a few days of taking their vaccine. So it should have been off the market in January of 2021, and Pfizer did not want to release that to the American public. They got a lawyer. The lawyer for the FDA wanted to block it for 55 years. So that was evidence that the US government is colluding with Pfizer to basically hide safety data in the Pfizer vaccine. Moderna still has not released their 90-day data, neither has Janssen or Novavax. So immediately, there should be strong calls for release of the safety data. It should be done under the prosecutorial power of the U.S. Congress, Senate, Department of Justice, Freedom of Information Act, but that's pretty slow and that's citizen-driven. We need our government agencies to step up and have the companies release the data. I mean, I want to know, is Moderna the same or even worse than Pfizer? I suspect it is, because all the studies that directly compared Moderna and Pfizer show greater toxicity with Moderna. There's a paper by Busby and colleagues on myocarditis that showed that. So, you know, our regulatory agencies, FDA, CDC, NIH, MHRA in the UK, and TGA in Australia, they have grossly let us down. They're actually participating in a fraudulent cover-up of a worldwide COVID-19 vaccine safety debacle. Just my final thought about you as a medical professional, and I've talked to UK doctors and they find it extremely difficult. Those who have spoken up, they've been punished. They've been pulled in front of disciplinary committees. And I know you've suffered as well. What is what is that like? And can doctors be vocal about their concerns or really have many had to stay quiet and how has it affected you? Doctors all need to step up. People are dying. They've died with the virus, untreated, and they've died now with the vaccine. This is not a time for doctors to be silent. They need to be bold and relentless, bring the truth forward. I haven't had a single doctor of my medical standing, the chief of medicine or division chief in cardiology or other medical specialty, actually ever look me in the eyes or send me an email or give me a call on the phone. Not a single one. They're absolutely ashamed of themselves. And I've had attacks from anonymous fact checkers making false claims. I've had attacks through certified letter or email, essentially trying to strip me of all my credentials. And every one of these attempts, I just get stronger. I've got a very, very strong voice out there in the world right now, and everybody knows it. I've given more media analysis. I've done more publications, more stage presentations on this issue than all the public health officials combined. And you can't find an area where I've been wrong or where I've been inconsistent. My views have changed as the virus has mutated, but I've been accurate and you know, the world knows it. And because I have so much media exposure, I have more than the public health officials. The world is coming to me and doctors in my circles for the truth. I think these government agencies and the biopharmaceutical complex is in trouble, and they're looking for the exits right now. We've had Francis Collins, head of the NIH, retire prematurely. Anthony Fauci, head of NIAID. We've seen now Rochelle Lewinsky, just two and a half years in the CDC, and a young woman, very junior, now leave the CDC. People are heading for the exits because they know they've committed wrongdoing. Dr. Peter McCullough, thank you so much for your time today. It's an honour to speak with you. Thank you.

I'll see you there or start in June. Thanks so much for having me on the program.
Today, our Scripture is Romans 12:1-5 … And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. (NLT) We're all grateful that God no longer requires any sort of physical sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, right? But yet, sacrifice is still a crucial part of following Jesus. In fact, it's an everyday event. From the desires of our bodies, minds, hearts, and attitudes, we have to give up what we want if we are going to honor God and others. Notice what this sacrifice gains us … we realize we are part of a greater Body of believers, a community of people who belong to and function together. Listen once again to this passage as I read excerpts from The Message Bible… So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. … we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. … So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. Today, what do you need to sacrifice? What do you need to embrace? What do you need to readily recognize that God is wanting to tell you about your life, your community, your role in His kingdom and Body? Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, take my everyday, ordinary life—my sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life. I give myself to You. I embrace all You have for me. I ask You to bring out the best in me, for You and for the sake of those You desire for me to reach. As above, so below.”
A new release movie? Readily available on multiple streaming services for free? This can't be The Redeemables?... Oh but it is. That's right Deadhopers, we watched Bullet Train! BJ has never seen this movie, which is a podcast first. Duff has seen it "hundreds of times" and Kenny just the three times. We go to war with the critics, we talk about Brad Pitt handing the heart throb mega star baton to Aaron Taylor-Johnson and why films set on moving vehicles are sick. Please enjoy...
Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Today was an important day. We found out the Kinzie had a "crush" on Kevin James, that none of us are fans of padded toilet seats and that most of the food we grew up on and still sometimes eat is banned in other countries. I understand that we all have different standards and practices, but can't we find a better substitute than yellow #5? Shit, we've been talking about it's testicle shrinking side effects since the 80's. Can we not do without that specific flavor in our Mountain Dew? The list of food is heartbreaking to our younger selves and very surprising. There are a lot of "reliable" name brands and common food safety practices that listed here. How many of these items are in your kitchen? Do all dogs go to Heaven? The answer is D....all of the above. ~Enjoy the Journey~

Today, I want to focus on a very simple yet profound statement that I hope you will memorize and repeat as needed. What I allow God to transform in me, I will be able to transfer to my children. Let's repeat that … What I allow God to transform in me, I will be able to transfer to my children Listen to Paul in Romans 12:1-2 … Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Notice how God transforms us into a new person … by changing the way we think. And the way God thinks is opposite of the world. Listen to this passage again in The Message Bible … So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. If changing your thinking can transform you, what needs to change about your thinking? How does God want to transform you by changing the way you think? And how will that transformation positively transform your children? Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, change my mind. Change my heart. Help me to be shaped by You and not the world. And please help me to stay motivated to grow in You for the sake of my kids. As above, so below.”

Today, we welcome David Wood, founder of Eventene, to share the story of his exceptional journey through the ever-evolving field of computer technology and the extensive digital transformation it has undergone over the years. David will take us back to his high school days, where his interest in technology was first sparked by the purchase of a scientific calculator with programming capabilities. While nowadays, your cellphone may hold more computing power, back in the day, a programable calculator with 210 programable steps, 21 memories, and a full complement of scientific functions was the bleeding edge of technology . . . and for David, it was his gateway to the world of technology. David shares his journey from that calculator to personal computers and discusses his personal induction into the world of coding through VisiCalc and Unicode. He draws a parallel between the impact of spreadsheets and the digital transformation that is currently taking place in his chosen field of event planning. With the advent of cloud computing and smart mobile devices, event planning is undergoing a transformation, and David, thanks to his work with the Boy Scouts of America, is at the forefront of this change. As a result of the mass quantity of data required to plan a scout event, he became the creator of Eventene, an online software solution that promises to revolutionize event planning. David envisions Eventene to become as essential for event planners as spreadsheets are for working with numbers and data, saving time and effort for years to come, regardless of the scale of the event. This is a story that promises to be insightful and entertaining. After all, you have to enjoy reminiscing about the technology of days gone by.

Battling cancer takes place in many parts of the world and our next guest has led initiatives to do just that. In Part One of this Oncology, Etc. Podcast episode, Dr. Richard Sullivan, Professor of Cancer and Global Health at King's College London, shares with us his intriguing life trajectory, encompassing a childhood in various parts of the world, aspirations for a veterinary career that turned to basic science, medicine, health policy (4:27), and even a long-term stint with the British Army Intelligence (12:22). Dr. Sullivan, who served as Director of Cancer Research UK for nearly a decade also discusses traits he looks for in a cancer investigator (19:21), and how to be happy (21:16)! Guest Disclosures Dr. Richard Sullivan: Honoraria – Pfizer; Consulting or Advisory Role – Pfizer Dr. David Johnson: Consulting or Advisory Role – Merck, Pfizer, Aileron Therapeutics, Boston University Dr. Patrick Loehrer: Research Funding – Novartis, Lilly Foundation, Taiho Pharmaceutical If you liked this episode, please follow.

I'm director of the Center of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University Cancer Center. Dave Johnson: And I'm Dave Johnson at UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. Pat Loehrer: And this is Oncology, Etc. Dave, what book have you read this last month? Dave Johnson: I have one I wanted to recommend to you. It's very interesting. It's by Steven Johnson, not of the syndrome fame. It's entitled Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer. You may have heard of this because PBS made a special documentary about this particular book. But in it, Johnson talks about the remarkable increase in human lifespan, especially over the 20th century, and the various factors that contributed to increased years of life from on average in the United States of about 48-49 in 1900 to just about 80 in the year 2000. So that beats anything in the history of mankind before. And he has a chapter about each of the factors that contribute to this, and some of which I think we all recognize. Things like antibiotics playing a role, but some of the things that I hadn't thought about were improved drug regulation and the development of randomized controlled trials, which all of us have participated in. How important that is. He also talked about, at least in the United States, the importance of automotive safety. And I'm sure some of us on this podcast are old enough to remember cars that did not have safety belts and certainly not other safety maneuvers that have really improved lifespan in that regard. So I found it a fascinating book. I think our listeners who are interested in medical history would also enjoy this text. Pat Loehrer: Did he mention this podcast? Dave Johnson: No, actually it wasn't mentioned, and I thought that was a tremendous oversight. So, I've sent him a letter and recommended that he add it. Pat Loehrer: We may not live longer, but it just seems like we're living longer. When you listen to this podcast, time stands still. Pat Loehrer: Well, it's my real great pleasure to introduce our interviewee today, Richard Sullivan. I met Richard several years ago through the late Professor Peter Boyle in Leon, and it's one of the greatest highlights of my life to be able to know Richard. Professor Richard Sullivan's Research Group studies health systems and particularly chronic disease policy and the impact of conflict on health. He's a professor of cancer and Global Health at King's College in London and director of the Institute of Cancer Policy and Co-director of Conflict and Health Research Group. As well as holding a number of visiting chairs, Richard is an NCD advisor to the WHO, a civil military advisor to the Save the Children Foundation, and a member of the National Cancer Grid of India. His research focuses on global cancer policy and planning and health system strengthening, particularly in conflict ecosystems. He's principal investigative research programs ranging from automated radiotherapy planning for low resource settings to the use of augmented or virtual reality for cancer surgery through the political economy to build affordable equitable cancer control plans around the world. Richard has led more Lancet Oncology commissions than anyone else. In fact, Lancet is talking about calling it the Sullivan Commissions. He's led five Lancet Oncology commissions and worked on four others. He's currently co-leading the Lancet Oncology Commission on the Future of Cancer Research in Europe and Cancer Care and Conflict in the conflict systems. His research teams have had major programs in capacity building in conflict regions across the Middle East and North Africa. He's done studies on the basic packages of health services in Afghanistan and worked in Pakistan, Syria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. He's been a member of the British Army, intelligence and security, and in that capacity he's worked many years in biosecurity and counterterrorism issues. I think in some ways, this is the most interesting man in the world, and it's our pleasure today to have Richard join us. Richard, thank you for coming. Richard Sullivan: Pat, Dave, you're really too kind. Marvelous to be with you. Thank you for the invitation. Pat Loehrer: Can you tell us a little about your upbringing and early life before you became Dr. James Bond? Richard Sullivan: I'm not sure that's anywhere close to the truth, sadly. But, yeah, I have had a very interesting, eclectic life. I was born in Aden just on the cusp of where the British Aden Protectorate met a country which actually no longer exists, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Because after the British left Aden, essentially the East Germans, and what was then the Soviet Union took over southern Yemen. So I was born in a very unusual part of the world, which sadly, since then has just deteriorated. I spent many years of my life with my parents, who were in the diplomatic service and doing other things, wandering around the globe, mainly in the Middle East and East Africa. We spent quite a lot of time, strangely enough, we washed up on the shores in the USA once as well. Dayton, Ohio, and eventually- Pat Loehrer: Not to interrupt you, Richard, there are no shores in Dayton, Ohio. So just correct you there. Richard Sullivan: That is so true. My memory - cornfields everywhere. I had a wonderful dog then, that's how I remember it so well. And I didn't really come back to the UK until, oh, gosh, I was nearly 10-11 years old. So, coming back to the UK was actually a bit of a culture shock for me. And then relatively classical in terms of the UK, sort of minor public school and then into medical school. In the old days when it was in the 80's. I had a fabulous childhood, going all over the place, seeing lots of things, being exposed to lots of different cultures. I think it remained with me all my life. I never really feel a foreigner in a foreign land. That's nice. That's really unique and it's been marvelous being able to tie in the passion for global health with my upbringing as well. So, yeah, I had a wonderful childhood. Dave Johnson: Would you mind expanding on your medical training, Richard? Tell us a little bit about that. Richard Sullivan: Yeah, so when I, when I went to medical school in the UK, we were still running the old system. And by the old system, I mean, you know, these small medical schools with entries of, you know, 70, 80 individuals, particularly in London, you had that St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, which is where I went, Charing Cross, Guy's, St. Thomas', and they were all individual medical schools. Now, most of these now have merged together into these super medical schools. But certainly when I went to medical school, I'll be absolutely honest with you, I wanted to be a vet to begin with, but actually discovered I wasn't bright enough to be a vet. It was harder to become a vet than it was to become a doctor. In my day going into medicine, and people listening to this, or some people who understand the A level system in the UK will recognize if you're offered a BCD, that's quite low grades to get into medical school. So I went to Mary's, to be absolutely honest with you, because I heard that they took people that played rugby, and I came from a rugby-playing school. And sure enough, 90% of the interview was based on my rugby prowess, and that was St. Mary's Hospital Medical School. So it was wonderful. And we'd already had people going there who were big rugby players. And again, it was, I remember thinking to myself, am I making the right decision here? But it was interesting, as soon as I went into medical school, I realized that was the life for me. I had done myself a favor by not going into veterinary science, which I would have been awful at. We had six years of very, very intensive pre-medicine, the classical medical rotations, and then that movement into the old schools of pre registration house officers, registrar jobs. We were quite an early stage. I kind of slightly went off-piste and started doing more academic work. Interestingly, most of my academic early days academic work was not in health policy and research. It was actually in very hard core cell signaling. So my doctorate was in biochemistry, and we worked on small GTPases, calcium-sensing proteins. There were some really extraordinary heady days, and I'm talking here about the early nineties and the mid-nineties of tremendous discovery, real innovation. I was at UCL at the time, but mixing and matching that up with a sort of surgical training, and again, surgical training in those days was pretty classical. You went into your general surgery, then sort of specialized. It was really, really interesting but it was full on. I mean, you spent your entire life working. Morning to night so these were the days of 100 hours week rotations. You were doing one in twos, one in threes. That's every other night and every other weekend on call. It was incredibly intense, but there was a lot more diversity and plasticity in those days. You could dip in and out of medicine because of the way you were chosen and how you were recruited. So it suited my personality because I liked moving around and doing different things and that sort of took me through, really until the late 1990s. Pat Loehrer: You became a urologist, right? Richard Sullivan: That's right. Exactly. So I trained up until the late 1990s, it was all pretty standard, I would say. And then I decided I was bored and moved into the pharmaceutical industry and I went to work in for Merck Damstadt at the time, which was relatively small. I was going to say family owned, but it was quite family-owned pharmaceutical company that was just moving into oncology. And because I'd done the background in cell signaling and cell signaling was really the backbone of the new era of targeted therapies, this seemed like a great move. To be absolutely blunt with you, I didn't last very long, less than a couple of years, I think, mainly because I just found the whole environment way too constraining. But what it did provide me with was a springboard to meet the wonderful late Gordon McVie, who I met at a conference. And he said to me, ‘You're absolutely wasting your time and life by staying in the pharmaceutical industry. Why don't you come out, get an academic job at University College London and become my head of clinical programs?” - for what was then the Cancer Research Campaign. This Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund were the forerunners of Cancer Research UK. So, you know, this was an offer that was too good to be true. So I jumped ship immediately, went back into academic life and joined CRC. And really the next ten years was this extraordinary blossoming of the merger of CRC with the Imperial College Research Fund, the creation of Cancer Research UK, and that was Paul Nurse, and obviously Gordon and me, bringing that all together. And it was the heady days of that resurgence of cancer, the importance of cancer care and research in the UK. And coupled with that, of course, it was the blossoming of my interest, really then into the global health aspects of cancer, which really, Gordon, people like you mentioned already, the late, wonderful Peter Boyle, all those individuals were already engaged in and they were the ones that really kind of catapulted me into a more international scene. Dave Johnson: Did you know Dr. McVie before you met him at this conference, or was it just a chance encounter? Richard Sullivan: No, he actually met me via John Mendelson, because John had picked up a paper I'd been writing on basically the very early versions of Rituximab that we were working on and we were looking for pharmacodynamic endpoints. And of course, one of the things I noticed with the patients is they were getting all these skin rashes on their faces, and I thought, that's terrific. Just seemed to be the skin rashes seemed to be together with those individuals that had better responses. And I remember writing this paper for Signal, which was a kind of relatively minor journal, and I think it was John Mendelson who picked it up and must have mentioned something to Gordon. Gordon hunted me out down at a particular conference, said, "How on earth do you know about this, that you're not anything more than a surgeon?" He was absolutely right about, goodness sake, what do you know about pharmacodynamic endpoints, and I kind of had to sort of confess that I've gone kind of slightly off-piste by doing biochemistry and cells signaling and working with these extraordinary people. And that's how I essentially met Gordon. He was very good for spotting slightly unusual, eclectic human beings. Pat Loehrer: I'm very curious about the intersection of your work and how you got into the British Army and Intelligence with medicine and how that even may continue even today. So explain that story, that part of your life a little bit to us. Richard Sullivan: Yeah, it was very early on, as I went into medical school, one of the key concerns was making money. I looked around for ways of doing something interesting to make money, and most of the jobs on offer were bar jobs, et cetera. Then I thought, what about the Territorial Army, which, in the early days of the 1980s, was, and still is, a very large component of the UK Armed Forces. So I actually joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, as you would expect for someone going into medicine. I thought, okay, I'll join the Royal Army Medical Corps, and I was a combat Medical Training Technician, et cetera. So I went along, signed up, and I think I was about three months into training when I was at a place called Kew Barracks and some chap came up to me and handed me a little bit of paper. It said "Intelligence Security Group" and gave a phone number. He said, "This is more your line of work. Why don't you give them a ring?" It was interesting because, in those early days, they were looking for analysts who could work on lots of different areas. In those days, most of the work was domestic.. Of course, there was counterterrorism with Northern Ireland, but there was also the Soviet Union, and the fallout from the Warsaw Pact, so they were still actively recruiting into that area. There are lots of details I can't talk about, but it was relatively, to begin with, quite hard work and low level. It was a lot of learning foreign equipment recognition. It was what we consider to be standard combat intelligence. But the more time you spend in it, the more interesting it gets. One of the areas they were looking to recruit into, which I didn't realize at the time but only later, was bioweapons and biosecurity. They needed people who understood biotechnology and the language of science, and who could be taught the language of infectious disease on top of that. That is quite a difficult combination to find. It's very easy to teach people trade craft and intelligence, it's very hard to teach them subject matter expertise. And they were really missing people who specialized in that area. It was interesting because it was still a relatively open domain. There was still a lot of work going on in the counterterrorism front with biological weapons, and a lot around the Verification of the Biological Weapons and Toxin Convention. And it was an interesting, and I'd almost say parallel life. But your medical knowledge and the scientific knowledge I had already gained and was gaining was what was being looked for. So that was very early on and it has expanded over the years. More and more now we talk about health security and intelligence so that goes beyond what you would consider classic medical intelligence or Armed Forces - this is more about putting together the disciplines of intelligence with the securitized issues of, for example Ebola. That is a classic example. The big outbreaks in West Africa, the DRC, these are sort of the classic security intelligence issues - even COVID 19 for example - and mostly around the world, what we've seen is the intelligence apparatus taking front and center in that, whether you're looking at states like South Korea, et cetera. So I've moved more into that, and we do a lot of work and research into this as well. So we look at, particularly now, how to improve human intelligence in this area, the pros and cons of signal intelligence collection. And we go as far as to kind of ask sort of deep ethical and moral issues, for example, about how far should these sorts of apparatus of state be applied to public good issues like health. Because at the end of the day, when you're talking about the armed forces security sector, their primary job is for defense of the realm. So applying them in other areas obviously comes with a whole load of moral and ethical challenges. So, yes, it's been a fascinating journey, which, as I said, it extends all the way back to the late 1980s. It's been both complementary and different. Dave Johnson: So, Richard, there's so many things in your resume that warrant exploration, but you served as Clinical Director of Cancer Research UK for nearly a decade. What was that experience like, and what accomplishment are you most proud of? Richard Sullivan: It was an enormous privilege. In your life, you always look at some jobs and you think, “How lucky I was to be there at that time with those people.” I think, first of all, enormous respect for the people that ran both Cancer Research Campaign, Imperial Cancer Research Fund – I mean, Paul Nurse and Gordon McVeigh, Richard Treisman – I mean, some extraordinary people who were leading both of these charities. And so to be there at that moment when they both came together, but more importantly as well, they had this most amazing global network of literally the illuminati of cancer research, spanning from basic science all the way through to epidemiology, public health, health systems. And in those days, of course, those individuals would come on site visits to the UK to look at the different units and evaluate them. So you can imagine when you're bringing those sorts of individuals across, you get a chance to go out with them, go drinking, talk to them, learn about their research, and also learn about the extraordinary breadth of research that was there in the UK. So you're condensing almost a lifetime's worth of learning into a few years. It was an absolute privilege to have been able to serve the community like that. What I'm most proud of? Gosh, I like to think I suspect that most proud of trying to help a lot of the fellows get through to where they were going to actually get the most out of their careers. When I look back, there are lots and lots of names of people who started at a very early stage with funding from Cancer Research Campaign or the Imperial College Research Fund, who are now very, very senior professors and global research leaders. And I like to think that we did a little bit to help them along that way and also help to support individual research programs actually reach their full potential. Because I think research management and planning is often overlooked. People think of this as very transactional – it's not transactional. It's an incredibly important, serious discipline. It requires very careful handling to get the very best out of your research ecosystem. You've really, really got to get under the skin and really have a clear view of how you're going to help people. So I think that's what I'm most proud of – is the individuals who made it all the way through and now these great leaders out there. But it was also, let's be honest, it was halcyon days. Great innovations, great discoveries, new networks growing, incredible expansion of funding in the UK, in Europe, in the USA. They were very, very good days. And it was, as I said, it was a real privilege to be there almost at the center for nearly a decade. Dave Johnson: Let me follow up on that, if I may, just for a moment. You have had such an incredible influence. What characteristics do you think are most desired in a cancer investigator? What sorts of things do you look for, especially when you're thinking about funding someone? Richard Sullivan: Creativity. I think creativity is really important. We talk about the word innovation a lot, and it's an interesting engineering term, but creativity is that spark that you can see it in people, the way they talk about what they're doing. They have this really creative approach. And with that, I think you have to have the passion. Research careers are long and difficult, and I'd probably suggest there's probably more downs than there are ups, and you have to have that passion for it. And I think along with that passion is the belief in what you're doing – that first of all, you have that belief that actually drives you forward, that what you know you're doing is good work, and that you're really dedicated to it. But obviously, hand on heart, when you're looking at researchers, it's that passion and that creativity. I think it's a brave person to judge how any person's career or program is going to go. I don't think any of us are prophets. Even in our own land. We might be able to see slightly into the future, but there are so many elements that make up “success”. It's funny when I look back and I think those who've been successful, it's people who've also been generally happy in their lives. They've found their careers in whatever shape or form, fulfilling, and they've generally been happy human beings, and they've managed to create a life around research which has given them meaning. Pat Loehrer: Richard, you have reinvented yourself a number of times – this transition of going from like a basic scientist, a surgeon, moving into public policy and global policy. Tell me a little bit about the journey that's been in terms of academics. How do you learn? What were the transition points in each of these things to get you now to be, as I mentioned before, kind of the key person for Lancet's commissions to somebody who was a rugby player? Richard Sullivan: I suppose if you're being mean, you say, he clearly gets bored easily. But it's not that. Actually, I'm not very instrumental about life either. I mean, there are many people you will meet who have got their lives and strategies mapped out. They know they're going to do X next year, Y the following year. And for me, it's never been like that. For me, it's that excitement, that creativity of working on new and interesting things, but also knowing when you've run out of road in a particular area, where it no longer gets you out of bed in the morning, where you no longer feel happy, where you no longer feel you're contributing. All of us talking today have the great privilege of having choice about our lives, about what direction our lives should take. And it's not a privilege one should squander lightly because many people do not have choices about their lives. It's all about chance. And having that choice to be able to move into different areas is really important because I said you can stick in the same thing because you think you have to. And you can become an unhappy, miserable human being. And that makes you a miserable researcher to be around. It makes you a terrible doctor. Probably makes you a terrible person, actually, generally, if you're having a miserable life. So finding new things, that really you're passionate about how you do it, there's no shortcut in this. It's hard work. Readily admit I went back to law school of economics, retaught myself lots of things. There are no shortcuts for. Deciding if you're going to a new area is learning, learning, practice, practice, practice, and just doing the hard work. I think that's an ethos that was probably drilled into us quite early anyway in medical school, because that's how you approach medicine. That's how you approach science when I was growing up. And it was that idea of humility that you can never have enough learning, you will always learn off other people. That's probably what drove me and how I've managed to change and as I say, who knows what the future is? I don't know. Maybe one day I'll think about doing a bit of poetry. Dave Johnson: Your comments about happiness and work resonate with Pat and me. I think we both feel like humor is really important for happiness and career success. And, you know, Osler once said, “The master word of medicine is work.” You can't get around that. It is what it is. And I think you just reaffirmed that. Well, this concludes part one of our interview with Richard Sullivan, professor of Cancer and Global Health at King's College, London and director of the King's Institute of Cancer Policy and co-director of the Conflict and Health Research Group. In the second part of this episode, Professor Sullivan will speak about the progress of global health, especially in conflict areas, and the need for young people to enter into the world of oncology and oncology research.

Today's devotion is adapted from the book "Restoration Year" by John Eldredge. A great daily devotional book. Click here if you would like to purchase your own copy. So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2 (MSG) My dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today to be restored in You and renewed in You. I now consecrate this year of life to You and You alone! You are my Lord in 2023! I consecrate every aspect of my life and all of my living this year totally and completely to You. I yield my spirit, soul, body, my heart, mind and will to the life and leading of Your Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit, fill me afresh every day this new year. I want to follow Your lead. Jesus I receive all the work and triumph your life, death, resurrection ,ascension and current reign over my life. I am not my own. I have been bought with a price. Thank you for giving me my salvation identity. I pray "Hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come and Your will be done" over my life, over my family and over my church in 2023. Jesus, I consecrate all of me to you and invite You to reign over every dimension of my life every day of this new year. I consecrate to you: • my time and abilities • my possessions, money, and influence • my personality, sexuality and imagination • my work, plans and ambitions, • my friends, family and church • my hopes and dreams • my loves, losses and worries • and my brokenness, imperfections, disappointments and failures My all day, every-day life is set apart and consecrated to You Jesus – flood my life with Your creative and renewing presence. Thank you for setting me apart as Yours. I now bring the authority, rule and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ over all aspects of my life; and over all my arenas of influence this New Year. I come in Jesus name against Satan and His kingdom binding and banishing him and all forces of evil from my life, my family and my church this year in the powerful and victorious name of Jesus! Amen

Falun Gong is an ancient spiritual practice in the Buddhist tradition. Meditation and gentle exercises (similar to yoga or tai chi) with a moral philosophy centered on the tenets of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong practitioners aspire to live by these principles in their daily lives. In July 1999, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) started a brutal campaign targeting the 100 million plus people practicing Falun Gong as well as their relatives, friends and coworkers. In a draconian crackdown book burnings, mass-arrests, imprisonment, torture and forced re-education was unleashed across China. A propaganda campaign began in China & went worldwide that this was some form of dangerous cult. The ongoing persecution and imprisonment camps remain in China to this day. But wait...it gets worse! Forced organ harvesting has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale. Falun Gong practitioners have been one – and probably the main – source of organ supply. They live clean, healthy lives. Making their pristine organs a prime target. China's transplantation industry has been booming. Readily available organs on demand for those in need means that forced organ harvesting will continue to be a growing enterprise. Those in captivity are prescreened for blood type, genetics, & other factors. A match for someone in need with the money can be made quickly this way. Disturbing methods of removing organs while the victim is alive, then cremating the remains have been discovered. There is world wide awareness of this genocide, yet nothing being done. Again I see another unified effort across the globe to discredit the true information, demonize the Falun Gong, or simply remove all attention from what is happening!

Yes, Lindsay: Yes. Same here. Sarah, I'm, I'm really excited for this chat and I think it'll be great for your listeners to learn a little bit more about what we're gonna be Sarah: covering. Yeah, exactly. We decided to [00:06:00] talk about pricing. And the imposter syndrome. And I just wanna say that, you know, I get a lot of pitches. Maybe you do too because you have your own podcast, but, , you know, there's about a handful probably, in a year I would even say that. I was just like, Oh yeah, this person I want to have on this show. And so you're one of those and I'm just, Yeah. So, so happy to have you. So, but let's dive in. Yeah. So this topic. Actually you suggested, to talk about, you know, pricing, which is one of my PS of the Humane Marketing Mandala, but then also kind of juxtaposing it with, , the imposter syndrome. So I think there's a lot that we can cover there. But, let's start maybe with a definition, because you are a trained therapist and I was just wondering if. Term imposter syndrome. You know, we throw this around so often, especially in the entrepreneurship, , era, and, [00:07:00] and I was like, Well, is this even like a medical term? I don't know. Or is this just kind of the thing that we. We say and and, and, yeah. I would love for you to start by defining it and what that actually means. Lindsay: Sure. So imposter syndrome can be defined many ways because it is not a clinical diagnosis. It does not fall into the DSM for folks who are in the Northern Hemisphere. That is really what we use when we are diagnosing clients or patients. , but imposter syndrome is this feeling or. Set of thoughts that a person experiences when they don't feel enough, and that can often look like in work context or business context, like this idea that they somehow got their success by mistake or it was a fluke, or they really are putting on a good veneer, but underneath they aren't as smart as other people think they are. They don't know as much they're going to be found out somehow as being a fraud or fraudulent. When we experience that set of [00:08:00] symptoms or those set of feelings and thoughts, it can make us question our own inherent knowledge and also the wisdom and knowledge we've gained over time. It can make us think that we don't really know as much as we say we know, and it can lead to chasing more external validation. And so an entrepreneurs this often looks like taking more online courses, taking another certificate. Paying for things that maybe you don't really need, right? So paying for, , maybe a costly mastermind or upgrading your website and getting all these, these funnels and clicks and countdown timers that maybe you don't really need. Because there's this idea that if I have these other systems in place, or if I have somebody else's stamp of approval, then I'll finally be enough. And what we know about imposter syndrome is. It's not about external validation. It's about inner wisdom and inner knowing and inner trusting. And when it comes to being business owners, that's [00:09:00] where the real work begins of getting comfortable saying, I am enough. I do know enough. I am competent at helping the clients that I'm meant to serve, or I am competent in selling the products that I know are good and authentic and Sarah: hopeful. Yeah. Yeah, that's, It always comes back to the inner work, doesn't it? , Right, Right. Absolutely. Um, thank you. That was really helpful. I wonder then, you know, because we placed this conversation under the PPF pricing, let's go into that. So how does having imposter syndrome, , how's that related to pricing? Where does it show. Lindsay: The way that I see it show up most commonly is in under pricing. And because if we have this inner doubt that we aren't good enough or smart enough, or can't help enough people, by default, we price our services lower. Mm-hmm. instead of a sustainable pricing model, we undercharge we under [00:10:00] price and we undervalue our services. And that is where a lot of. Online business owners get into trouble because they slide their prices down so low again, to try and get that external validation. If I have my price low, then I'll get more clients and, and we're chasing again that external validation that we know enough. , and so when it comes to under pricing, we end up. Actually harming ourselves and creating a bigger imposter syndrome cycle. And what I mean by that is if I price my services so low, that means I need to sell more products, more goods, more services. And that means that I'm stretching myself really thin. And if I'm stretching myself really thin, I probably don't have the time to practice that restorative self care that we all need. I'm probably not getting enough sleep, not drinking enough water, not moving my body enough, not engaging in hobbies. Side of work and when we are operating kind of stretched thin, our minds [00:11:00] and our bodies aren't able to think rooted and think in terms of our wisest self. And when we are stressed out, when we are, you know, afraid, our nervous system is afraid, then we go, Oh my gosh, I really don't know enough and I need to take on more. And it's just adding more and more to our plates and sinking us further down. And the lower we get, the more we think we don't know. And it becomes this really vicious cycle versus pricing for sustainability. Maybe a word that resonates more with your, , listeners, or a word that often is used instead of sustainability is profitability. But that's this idea that in order for us to have sustainable businesses, we need to have not just enough to make ends meet, we have to have enough to be able to pour into ourselves, to be able to pour into our communities and to be able to pour into our businesses. Because if we are operating. From a afraid space and from a frantic space that actually harms our business in the long run. And it actually harms our [00:12:00] clients in the long run because they're not getting the best of us. They're getting this anxious, afraid, imposter syndrome version of us, and then we're not delivering on what we know we are able to deliver. Hmm. Sarah: Yeah. So good. So good. It's, , interesting. I, I was just typing out an email, , that is gonna go out to my, , readers this weekend, and I was talking about my typical day, , and how, you know, how much rest I plan into my day and outside time and connection time, and, and then also saying, you know, Realize this is the typical day of a very, privileged white person. And that not everybody has that privilege. But if we do have that privilege, then we're not helping anybody by working ourselves to deaths and, getting burned out and exhausted. Like, like you say, that self care. Well, we need to actually make it a priority. And, and I guess, , I see the correlation [00:13:00] here with pricing is like, well, if you have sustainable pricing, , then you can build in more, rest into your day, right? Because when you actually do get paid, you don't feel like you have to work so much to. You know, just the minimum, Yeah, the minimum income in a way. So, yeah. Yeah, that really, that really resonates. Yeah. Lindsay: I, I want to just reflect back how, how thankful I am that you mentioned privilege and mentioned some of those things because I'm, I'm biracial, I'm a mixed person of color. , and I think it goes even more. For folks who have marginalized identities, whether you are queer, trans, a person of color, of a religious minority, your immigration status is different. We actually have, , a duty to practice self care even more because we have all of these taxing systems of microaggressions, of racism, of [00:14:00] sexism, of homophobia coming at us all the time. And our nervous systems actually need even more time for that space and for that rest, and for that joy too. So I really appreciate you bringing it up and saying, Oh, you know, This is a privileged position to be able to rest, and I want to gently push back and say, actually , it's mandatory. Mm-hmm. , it is so mandatory that we take that time for rest and growth and development outside of our work and how hard it is to do that. I just shared with my email newsletter. That, , about a year ago I hired somebody to help me just with the things that are I can do, but are not necessarily in my zone of genius. And what happened was, as I had additional spaciousness in my week, , I found myself just doing more work instead of going for walks, taking my dog to the park or anything like that. Because this system is so designed for us to be working and be productive [00:15:00] and all of that, it's so hard to separate ourselves from that. Yeah. So knowing that it took me a while. I specifically put voice lessons on my calendar because I'm the type of person that if something's on my calendar, I will be there. Mm-hmm. . So I had to like block out specific times for rest or specific times for joy and a specific time on my calendar where I was committed to somebody else. A little bit of that external accountability, but also it was something that has nothing to do with business, it has nothing to do with growing my practice. It is all about kind of just engaging in that fun and that joy and that playfulness. So I really appreciate you bringing that piece. Yeah. Sarah: And I'm glad you're, you're stating how difficult it actually is, , because it is, and I was talking yesterday to someone who's older, you know, and, and for someone, you know, my generation, Gen X or even older, it is especially difficult. And, and even more so if we love our job, you know, [00:16:00] if we actually do love our job. And so I was telling this guy, I'm like, I know you love your job, but think of, you know, who will be there for you. The end of your life, who is really gonna be, you know, valuable, , and counting, , at the end of your life. And so those are the people that we need to hang out with, even though, yes, it's amazing to watch, you know, your client's transformation and whatnot, but, , yeah. It really is difficult. But let's go back to the, the pricing and the, Yeah. Actually one more term that I heard, , on Jonathan Fields, , podcast. , I'm blanking on his, podcast. We'll put in the show notes. , but , this, idea of maximum sustainable generosity that really speaks to me to. My listeners, we are heart centered entrepreneurs, right? And so we do want to give a lot and, , this idea of, you know, pricing, raising our prices and, and where [00:17:00] is the limit and how much can we give before we ask? , and so this term of maximum sustainable generosity really, really spoke to me because we need to define where that is for us. So that we can still give and feel good about ourselves, about giving, but it has to also be sustainable for us. And I think that concept, once you understand that, that's when you're gonna be ready to put boundaries and say, No, until here, I can give. And then here are my boundaries. So I just wanted to bring that up again. , yeah, let's talk about pricing and. What do we do then when we, you know, we, Okay, we have this issue with, , imposter syndrome. How can we do this inner work and what do we need to do in order to be able to say, Okay, I'm ready to raise my prices. Mm. Lindsay: Okay. So the, the three tiers that I use are sufficient. Leisurely and enoughness. Okay? And [00:18:00] sufficient is the bottom of this kind of tier or this pricing step where you are charging enough and your business is generating enough income to make sure that all of your needs are met. And that means. Your business, but also your personal life. And when I say your needs are met, I'm not just talking about making sure you have enough money for fuel and for food. I'm also talking about making sure you have enough for that weekly yoga class or that monthly massage, whatever it is that helps you regulate your nervous system. So that first step is sufficiency. Mm-hmm. . And then we move into leisurely. So the way that, that the imagery that comes to mind for. Is if you imagine a hot day, we're recording in the middle of the summer here. It is quite toasty and steamy outside today. So if we imagine sufficient is when you're at at a hot day and there's like an outdoor shower and you're cooling down and you have enough water to like rinse your body and to cool off, [00:19:00] and it is enough to regulate your temperature and to feel cool again. Then if we imagine leisurely that's having like a pool, Available to you. You can kind of get in, you can sit on your little raft. You're very relaxed and you have more than enough. And when we have that more than enough, that's when we can start giving back to our communities. Whether that's by offering a sliding scale, offering scholarship spaces, donating money to causes in our community that are important to us, or volunteering in our community with causes that are important to us. And then we imagine that next kind of tier. Is enoughness and that enoughness is whatever natural body of water comes to mind. It could be a river, it could be a lake. It could be a deep well, but it is, you have more than enough to regenerate your business. You have more than enough to pour into yourself, to pour into your communities. But I often think what hap what happens with heart centered entrepreneurs [00:20:00] is they start giving back at that enoughness level before their business is supporting them at that sufficient level. So they're giving too much time, they're giving too much energy, they're sliding. Scale, they're underpricing their services, and then again, it gets back into that imposter syndrome, frantic cycle. If I don't have enough, I need more. And then you are coming to potential clients from this place of desperation, from this place of anxiety, and from this place of underpricing. And when we think about justice and we think about equity, we have to include ourselves in that as well, which means we can't be martyrs for the system. We have to say. I also deserve to have financial compensation that is more than enough, and I also have to be included in making sure that I can buy my groceries and take a holiday. Sleep at night. So those are the things that I kind of think about when we are pricing our services. So we, we need to first meet that first stair step or that kind of cold [00:21:00] shower by making sure that we have enough to take care of ourselves. And then as we move up that scale, We can be increasing our pricing services, but we can also start giving back a little bit more. And the other analogy that gets used all the time that I think is worth repeating is that oxygen mask analogy. We cannot take care of others until we take care of ourselves. And it's not about being selfish, it's about showing up and saying, I'm a part of this equation. I'm a part of my community too, and I also deserve to take care of myself financially. Sarah: Yeah. What came up for me while you were talking was this kind of trend of the high ticket client. Oh, Lindsay: yeah. for the podcast listeners. That was a massive eye roll on my part, Sarah: so, yeah, that, that, I don't know if it's still out there because I just block everybody who's trying. You know, message me being a, a high thick, a client coach or anything like that. Yes. [00:22:00] So, So you're still seeing it out there Lindsay: now? Oh yeah. I'm still seeing that. So I'm seeing, so I'm seeing two trends that I'm surprised still exists that I think are worth exploring for your heart centered entrepreneurs. So I'm seeing. On the one end, that high ticket offer where you are charging a client 30, 40, $50,000 for your goods service, coaching expertise, whatever. And the idea behind it is that, you know, our income is a math equation, and if I sell one trinket to somebody for $10, or if I sell one trinket to somebody for $10,000, I have to sell fewer of those $10,000 items. To make, to meet my financial needs. Right. It, it makes sense from a financial perspective, right? But from a heart center and entrepreneur perspective, it's not just about selling the thing, it's also about delivering the thing. And are you capable? And you may be, and you may be sitting here listening, going, I am capable of that. Are you capable of delivering a 30, 40, [00:23:00] $50,000 value to the clients that you. Saying that you are going to serve mm-hmm. , and that's a question only you can answer. , and I, I think we all have the capacity to probably charge more than we are. Without getting into that slimy, like trying to chase down somebody and, and ring of them. When I say ring, I mean like a, like a towel ringing out a towel, like ringing of them all of their financial resources. I have heard horror stories of people and I'm sure we know of them. Where these high ticket coaches go after clients who are in desperate need of sustainability in their business, and they say if you just gimme $30,000, if you just gimme $50,000, I guarantee you'll be a seven figure business owner. They are prey on people who are incredibly vulnerable and in the US. We have access to huge lines of credit that you don't have in the eu. So in the US you can really get into a lot of trouble. I have heard horror stories of [00:24:00] people taking out huge credit cards, , and racking up tons and tons of debt. I have heard of people reorging their houses to give these high ticket coaches their money only to be basically found out that they have been bamboozled and they end up in these kinds of situations where, The marketing was great, the promise was great, but the delivery was just the same as anything else. video1642351392: I Sarah: just wanna add before you go into the other, , example. Yeah. So, so also from, , my own experience, I used to have a $7,000 offer. And from talking to a friend who had, you know, a $20,000 offer, I think the pressure it puts on you. As the entrepreneur to then basically chase after clients who are, who have that kind of money. And of course we're not talking about companies, right? Right. We're talking here to about coaching for individuals and, and already $7,000 is, [00:25:00] is a high number. And so the pressure I felt, , to find clients who are willing to invest that amount. And then also the sense of failure if you are not making those sales, really, it's, it's just not worth it. It really is just not worth it, so. Right. Yeah, I totally agree with you. It, I think though that that trend. Is coming to an end. We're living in way different times now, so. Mm-hmm. , there may be still high ticket coaches, but I'm not sure that they're doing so well right now. So I'm, Lindsay: yeah, I don't know, Sarah: like serving that. Lindsay: Trend a bit closer. Yeah, it's interesting because what I find in the online world is that a lot of these things continue, but they're just repackaged. Like they're repackaged as like VIP days. And not to say there aren't ethical VIP days or really good VIP days, but I see these things kind of recycled. So maybe the high ticket one year. Support [00:26:00] Mastermind isn't working anymore, but maybe a v i P day is, or maybe, you know, an expensive retreat is, and again, it's not that the thing is problematic. No. Whether it's a retreat or vip. Yes, exactly. It's everything behind it. , that I think we really just need to be cautious of and just curious. And when I say curious, I mean like getting in tune again, we talked at the start of this, about the inner work, but getting curious if somebody's approaching you with that high ticket, you know, mindset stuff that feels in your body not settled. It makes you feel anxious, it makes you feel a little bit skeptical. I think it's worth turning in with that curiosity. Do you just. What is here? Yeah. What is Sarah: coming up? Signals Lindsay: telling me. Yes. Yes. And I think with a lot of that, like high ticket mindset coaching, they tell you to not trust your nervous system. Mm. They say, Oh, no, no, no. You have to jump in. A net will appear. You have to [00:27:00] just trust me. That's a mindset issue. You're in scarcity right now. Mm-hmm. . And it's like, no, your body is pretty freaking wise and it's really good at telling you something is amis. Yeah, and if I am really meant to work with this person, or work with this coach or join this program, I might have some of that anxious excitement, but I won't have fear. And I think we have to start trusting ourselves a bit more in online business, which again comes back to imposter syndrome. If we feel like we don't know enough or we need somebody else to validate our opinions, we will push aside our nervous systems signals and join because we don't trust ourselves. Sarah: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So the second example you wanted to share. Yeah, Lindsay: so the second example is on the other end of the scale of, you know, we've got these high ticket offers and then we have like super, super, super low ticket offers that. Can also cause a lot of overwhelm. And the way that I've seen them in the [00:28:00] past few years is like the, , the free summits or the free, , master classes, things like that where you join, and then you're bombarded with a lot of information. It's the same thing. You get 10 minutes of information on marketing, 10 minutes of information on sales, 10 minutes of information on a website, and you leave and your nervous system is so over. Stimulated because you've spent two days sitting in all these like mini master classes kind of drinking from a fire hose, and then your brain and body is so overwhelmed. And then again, you're getting into this imposter syndrome of, well, I don't know enough about sales or marketing or websites or SEO or Facebook or TikTok, so I need all these 10 different experts guidance, and now I need to join all 10 of their programs. Right? Right. And it's again, just like having some inner wisdom to. Okay. What is really going on in my. . Actually, I am really struggling with the marketing piece. I know my product is good. I [00:29:00] know my coaching is amazing. I know that all of that is good, like the delivery side of things are really good, but maybe I do need some help showing up visibly and showing up authentically and getting out of my comfort zone there. And maybe there is one person at that summit who has that wisdom to impart on you, but do you need all 10 of those programs? The answers probably. Yeah, and so getting really curious, and this is where getting to know your numbers becomes really powerful. Because if you're following your numbers every month, which I recommend everybody do, is to have a CEO date or a money date and take a look at Where is my money coming from? What am I spending my money on, and also where are my clients coming from? Then you can make informed decisions about your business. You can follow those numbers and you can get to know where are the leaks or where are the holes that need patching in my business? And you can make decisions. From an informed and from a grounded place. And you can say, [00:30:00] Actually, it does make sense for me to invest in a marketing coach right now, but it doesn't actually make sense for me to hire a TikTok coach if I haven't even downloaded the app. Right. . Like we just have to think really curiously and compassionately about what we actually need and then we can invest accordingly so long as we have that money available. Hmm. Yeah. I love how Sarah: you. Talk about pricing, but we're also talking about investing in a way, You know, it's like it all goes together. It's like, well, it all goes together. If you do increase your prices and you're paid more fairly, then you'll also have more money available to invest back into your business if that's what you want. , right. But again, that doesn't mean that you have. Buy every program out there. It just really neat. No, what I hear you say, and I totally agree with that, is giving power back to the client. I talk a lot about that. It's like, yes, we have been treating our clients as if they were stupid. You know, like telling [00:31:00] them things, talking to them as, as if they were little children. Right. And so, , In a way as clients, as customers, we also started to give our power away and kind of become sheep by talking the marketing, like we're human bug. I talk about, you know, sheep and we've just kind of been following along, and it's time to take that power back and think for ourselves, what do I really need? Is this a good thing for my business right now? So, yeah, absolutely. Mm. Really appreciate that. Mm-hmm. . So in terms of the. You know, we talked a little bit about the high ticket client. Another thing that comes to mind is, is the current situation with inflation. And, you know, everything that's going on in the world. , How do we react to this? Like, it could be that we're just kind of completely frozen and think, Oh, I'm gonna go back to scarcity because , I just feel like nobody has money anymore at all. So how do we react to [00:32:00] a market that, you know, there's, everywhere you look, people are saying lost everything. there's no more money in the market. Is that really true? Or how do we react to. Lindsay: What I've been telling both my financial therapy clients and the folks I coach, , I'm building their practices, is that. We deal with something every single day that we have no control over, and we have our whole lives, but we learn how to cope. And the example that I give is weather, not climate. Weather . So when it's raining out, what do we do? We dress for the weather. We put on our rain boots, we put on our raincoat, We grab an umbrella. When it is cold out, we grab our parkass and our. And when it's warm out, you know, we get our little . Maybe we go inside somewhere that it's cooler or we find a space in the shade and we dress in like linen and lighter clothing. Because here's the thing, none of us can control the weather, but we can control and prepare how we dress for it. [00:33:00] So when it comes to things like inflation and the stock markets and gas prices, we don't have control over that, and we have to release control over. But we do have control over other things. And when it comes to financially preparing our businesses for the weather, there are certain things that we can do and that we do have control over. I recommend that all of my clients kind of increase the amount of money in their business emergency fund and in their personal emergency fund, and that means having a couple months of business expenses. Readily available in that business bank account so that if you have fewer clients that month, or if you have like a, you know, a quieter month or two, you're still able to pay your business bills, but also continue to pay yourself. Because going back to the sustainability, we have to include ourselves in it. So making sure that that business emergency fund has our business expense. And the ability to make sure that we are getting our pay from that business. [00:34:00] So that's one thing we could do to kind of financially dress for the weather of a a recess. Other things we can do are also making sure that we aren't reacting, we are really being embodied. And when I say embodied, I mean checking in with our physical self and saying, What do I need and what do my clients need? I've seen some entrepreneurs panic put everything on a 50% off sale because they're terrified that nobody's gonna come because of the recession. And so they just put everything on sale. Without going, Are my clients asking for this? Are people saying to me, You know what Lindsay? I'm unable to afford that. What other offers do you have? Or am I reacting and putting everything on sale? Right. So we have to get really wise that there may be creative ways to serve our clients financially speaking that don't put us in harm's way. And that could be saying something like, Hey, you know, I've got all of this great content. I'm gonna offer , a membership community that is a lower cost, but I still am delivering high value knowledge and good and support, [00:35:00] goods and support. It could be saying, you know what, like for me, I do power sessions where I meet with a, a clinician. One on one and we do a deep dive in like one or two things that are really kind of getting them stuck in their business and figuring that out. We could say, You know what, I'm gonna structure that, as a group power session so three people can split the cost of that and each person will get, you know, 20 minutes of my time. But everybody gets. 60 minutes of support. And so you're providing something where you are still getting the income that you need to make your ends meet, but you're providing it maybe to your community at a lower cost. But we need to be really intentional about, So that's the second thing, is making sure that when you're pricing your. Offers. You're not putting everything on sale just because, And then finally, it is worth kind of dialing down spending on areas that maybe aren't working for you any longer. So for example, maybe that is moving from a more expensive community platform to a more affordable community platform. Maybe that is saying, You [00:36:00] know what? I've been paying for ads and maybe ads aren't really necessary for me right now. So maybe I hit pause on those ads so it can be. Dialing down that spending too. So those are kind of the three things I'm recommending for entrepreneurs as this recession likely is coming up, is to make sure you have enough in your reserves to pay yourself and to cover your business expenses. Making sure that when you are pricing your offers, you are doing them in a way that still supports you financially, but might be of greater benefit to your clients by getting creative about your offers. And then three is dialing down expenses that maybe you don't need or don't need in the moment. Mm. Sarah: Yeah. So good. I like the creativity. I think it's really a time for thinking creatively. Yeah. And coming up with, with offers that Yeah. In the past you hadn't thought, Oh, what if I did it this way, What I created, What if I created pods or Yeah. Small groups or things like that. , the other thing you kind of mentioned with the [00:37:00] savings, is really understanding that. Business, especially as entrepreneurs, it comes in cycles and you cannot expect, you know, every month to be the same. I think we know that from experience, but just kind of relaxing into that and knowing that this may be a bit of a DR cycle, but that there's another one, , coming back. so, so just planning already in cycles and knowing Okay. You know, now I'm kind of in this and what was it, eti, I forget the, these terms, but, but now it's kind of like a lower , cycle and plan for the, for the next one. Yeah. The, the one thing I wanted you to share to kind of close up here, is, you know, from some of your clients, the work you, if you can think of one mm-hmm. where, where you kind of worked on. Pricing slash imposter syndrome, , if you would share that success story with Lindsay: us. Yeah, so one thing is [00:38:00] that in the US , I work with a lot of healthcare providers and specifically mental healthcare providers, and so it's really common for clinicians in private practice to say, I'm going to take insurance, because that feels. You know good. And also insurance companies pay really poorly here. They just do. So by default, we end up sliding our fees to accommodate these insurance companies. And when I say they pay poorly, I'm talking, they pay 40, 50, 60% of our actual fees, so we're putting our fees on sale. And so a big fear for a lot of my clients is leaving insurance panels, and I have seen so many of my clients get comfortable saying, I'm going to leave those insurance panels so that I can actually take care of my financial self. And then what they're able to do with that additional revenue. Is actually be able to offer sliding scale spaces that actually work for them. And what I mean by that is saying, Okay, for every eight clients [00:39:00] I have who pay my full fee, I can offer one client a super discounted rate without impacting my financial bottom line. So it's about kind of getting into that balance and getting into that zone. And so many of my clients have been able to fill their practices in that way. That is in alignment with their values. That also helps to move them towards those other. Of the financial tiers that we talked about earlier. And so for people who are listening, that might also look like, how can I ethically increase my rates in a way that supports me and sustains me? That then allows me to get creative and give back to my community. Maybe that means I do one free coaching call a month and anybody who wants to hop in can hop in. I first have to make sure that I financially am able to support that time going out. So thinking about it, for those of you who are listening, kind of making the scales with my hands right now, kind of getting really creative about how can we find that balance, how can we find that harmony [00:40:00] that supports us and supports our community? Mm. Sarah: Yeah. So good. And I think that goes for everyone, not just clinicians or therapists, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. So good. Thanks for sharing that. , this has been wonderful. Thank you so much for coming on, Lindsay. Do tell people where they can find, You and your work, and we haven't talked about your book, but you have a book out there as well, so mention that please, Lindsay: too. Sure, of course. Well, thank you again, Sarah, for having me. This has been such a fun and energizing conversation. So my business is called Mind Money Balance, and you can find me on my website. My podcast is of the same name. My Instagram handle is of the same name. Depending on when this airs, I might be on an Instagram hiatus. I like to take a few months off each year. Good for you. Yeah, which is really important and really, , helps to sustain me to give me that little social media break. , but the book that I wrote was called The Financial Anxiety Solution, and it's a workbook that helps you include. Your thoughts [00:41:00] and your feelings and your relationship with money. My philosophy is that money is about 80% psychological and emotional, and about 20% about the numbers. And even the numbers that we need are very, very basic math. And I say this as a person who failed college algebra , right? Like all of the math that we need for our personal finances and really for the basics of building our business. Finances can be done. Phone calculator or a quick Google search. So those are a couple of places to find me. And if you're interested in learning more about your financial archetype, I have a free quiz@mindmoneybalance.com slash quiz. There are four different financial archetypes that shape the way we look at money and what we do with money. So it can be a fun way to get to know a little bit more about why you might be falling into this imposter syndrome or over consuming. So you can check that out. Sarah: Wonderful. Yeah, I'll definitely make sure we put all those links in the show notes. And as you know, I always ask last question, and that is, what are you grateful for today or this week, Lindsay: Lindsay?[00:42:00] Oh, today and this week I have been really fortunate to spend some outdoor time with my friends living in a climate. I live in Michigan in the United States where it's chili for, you know, good six months of the year. So having. Son come out and be able to sit on back porches and patios with friends has been really nourishing to my soul. So I'm really grateful for that at this moment in Sarah: time. Wonderful. And it's not too hot either, so Lindsay: that's No, no, it's, it's steamy, but it's do. Sarah: Thanks so much for coming on to this show. I really enjoyed our time together. Such a treat.[00:43:00]
Forget to cancel a subscription or fail to get gas where it's cheaper and you're out a few bucks. But don't pay attention to some big money wasters and your finances can really take a hit. We'll talk about them today on MoneyWise. Okay, today we're going to tell you some ways you can waste a lot of money. Of course, the idea is that if you know about them, you won't do them. The Wall Street Journal did a survey of several personal finance experts, authors, and even a Nobel Prize winning economist to find out what they considered big money wasters. The first one they named is something they called compensatory purchases. That's a fancy name for keeping up with the Joneses. And it's anything you spend money on to make other people think you're successful. But in reality, you're doing it because you don't feel successful. Compensatory purchases would include luxury goods and high end clothing with visible logos to indicate you have money and status. But the experts pointed out that these can include small-ticket items purchased over and over like designer coffee. Another big ticket money waster is buying too much house. One of the experts explained that peoples' thinking about big houses hasn't caught up with technology that enables us to live comfortably with less space. Take large, elaborate kitchens for example. Readily available prepared foods have made them obsolete. But what the experts didn't say is that pre-packaged food items can also be a money waster. Another example of buying too much house is having a rarely used room, an extra bedroom that sits empty most of the time, or the workshop in the basement gathering dust. Or space for bookshelves when we have e-books that take up no space at all although maybe it's not as much fun to curl up with a Kindle. For one expert, a big money waster was buying a new car, at least for many people and especially if you're just trying to impress someone. You'll have to work two to three months just to make the payments and insurance. A better option for many people is a dependable late-model vehicle with low mileage. If you simply must have that new car smell, you can now buy it in a can and make any car smell brand new for around 10 bucks. But we always point out that buying a new car is fine if you can afford it and plan to keep it for many years. It's especially fine if you can buy it with cash. As we like to say, if no one bought new cars, we soon wouldn't have any cars at all. Of course, with today's high interest rates and sky high car prices, it's more important than ever to buy a car for practical reasons, like affordable, dependable transportation. Okay, the next money waster is a touchy one for many parents. It's spending money on adult children for things they should be paying for like keeping them on your car insurance or cell phone plan. If you no longer need a family plan and an individual one is cheaper, you're just wasting money. The experts also mentioned over-scheduling younger children with too many expensive activities. Better to have the kids focus on one or maybe two things they really enjoy because the cost of extracurricular activities and transportation to them continues to rise. Some of you may be old enough to remember playing sandlot baseball or football with the neighbor kids when you were young. And while that sort of thing still happens, for the most part we live in an age of organized sporting activities a lot of them so choose carefully. And speaking of physical stuff, you want to avoid getting a gym membership unless you're absolutely sure you'll use it. Otherwise it's just another money waster. Having an unused gym membership has been described as the failure to recognize future laziness. Another money waster? Unplanned trips to the grocery store. That's when you go in thinking you just need to grab one item but you end up spending $100. Also mentioned were pre-packaged sugary snacks that could easily be replaced with something less expensive like an apple, better for your wallet, and your waistline will thank you.

Better to have the kids focus on one or maybe two things they really enjoy because the cost of extracurricular activities and transportation to them continues to rise. Some of you may be old enough to remember playing sandlot baseball or football with the neighbor kids when you were young. And while that sort of thing still happens, for the most part we live in an age of organized sporting activities a lot of them so choose carefully. And speaking of physical stuff, you want to avoid getting a gym membership unless you're absolutely sure you'll use it. Otherwise it's just another money waster. Having an unused gym membership has been described as the failure to recognize future laziness. Another money waster? Unplanned trips to the grocery store. That's when you go in thinking you just need to grab one item but you end up spending $100. Also mentioned were pre-packaged sugary snacks that could easily be replaced with something less expensive like an apple, better for your wallet, and your waistline will thank you.

Raising Public Awareness About The Dangers Of Gene Editing. Jeffrey Smith returns to the Urban Farm Podcast to talk about what he calls “GMO 2.0”, an easily attainable technology with the power to permanently change the genetic makeup of every living thing on earth. The foods we eat are already being changed and we are already being affected in ways we don't yet understand, yet there are no controls in place to ensure the changes are safe. Jeffrey illuminates the very real dangers we face and tells us how we can fight back.

Neighbors and pals, we in the Wolfe Pack are nothing if not honest about our past missteps and iniquities...so surely you're not shocked to find that its' true what you've heard about us being "banned for life" by an establishment or two. Now, that's bad, and we confess that we're not proud--but these situations have sure made for some great stories! So give us a shoulder to lean on, and we'll do our best to entertain: we've got a full dose of confiscated new comedy, sports trends and predictions, politics and world news and...free airfare to Martha's Vineyard? Well, yes. Yes, we do. So keep an eye on your wallet, drop a dollar in the kitty, and grab yourself a Natty Light: as we keep saying, it really IS kind of a long story. Readily available bail money is NEVER a bad idea. Cheers.
CHRISTIAN LIFE COACH COLLECTIVE- Change Your Life, Start a Coaching Business, Walk in Your Calling
In today's episode: FAITH AND BUSINESS I'm sharing a prayer you can pray over your business and a reminder to keep your biz before the Lord in prayer daily. It's a major part of who you are and deserves life-giving attention. Create reminders for yourself to take your business to the Lord and speak truth over it. I also want you to know that I'm praying for you as well, as my listener, as well as a brother or sister in the Lord. Bless you! ***VIParts of this episode to refer to: “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life- and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” (Romans 12:1-2, The Message) Lord thank you for giving me a heart to serve the world the way you made me to. Thank you for your wisdom and understanding in my business. I ask for greater clarity when it feels that the lines between the world and your kingdom start to blur. Show me the way to go when I come to the crossroads which I will definitely find myself at again and again. Help my business vision to stay on you and your ways. Show me how you would run my business Jesus. Cast great vision and give me great clarity Lord. Lead me in the way you'd go that meets the people I serve right where they are. Show me what they need, how I can serve them and love them well, how I can innovate and innovate and bring new things to life that would bless them. Give me dreams that show me how to build and how to share, give me vision for what is possible in the kingdom of heaven. I ask that You would develop well formed maturity in both me and my business, as I place it all before you as an offering. Give me peace when things get hard. Help me to trust you when money is tight, when people aren't buying, or a product or service doesn't excel the way I hoped it would. Holy Spirit I pray for my hope in you to an anchor that keeps me in a kingdom mindset and draws my heart to the Lord. When things are tough, let me be the light that draws others safely to the shore leading them, rather than the one who runs out and conforms to the ways of the world without wisdom. And I pray Lord, as I build my business on the cornerstone of faith in Jesus, I pray for the protection and provision over my household. Wherever I'm taking ground and the enemy lying in wait, be our shield and our refuge. I pray for discernment and strategy, for your presence to go before me and my business, and for tangible hope to pour out on me, my family, my team, and those that I serve. Draw the right people to me and my business, and let them see you and your love when they see us. Change me from the inside out, keep me on your path, and bring out the best in my business for the glory of Jesus to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. In Jesus name, amen. Welcome to the Christian Life Coach Collective!
In this episode of the Woman Podcast, Emily Free leads a discussion on what it looks like to be set apart. This conversation is a part of the “next-gen takeover” that happened at New Life Church recently, where young people led every aspect of the service! "Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." Romans 12:1-2 MSG “I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” John 17:15-18
U.S. Medal of Honor awardee Sgt. Leroy Petry joins Tim to tell his Medal of Honor story, from a life and death battle in Afghanistan to the very definition of the word, “honor.” Sgt. Petry is a retired U.S. Army Ranger who is one of the few to receive the military's highest honor, and one of the very few medal recipients who have survived to tell their own story. This episode was first released October 20, 2020. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Sgt._Leroy_Petry.mp3 In April of 1862, a group of Union Soldiers in the middle of the Civil War had an assignment. They were supposed to make it across Confederate lines to steal a Confederate train car and ride it to Union lines. Along the way, they were supposed to destroy track and depots, cutting off the Confederate supply lines and transportation. That group of Union solders was called “Andrews Raiders.” Twenty-five men volunteered for the mission that ended in a dramatic train chase and capture by Confederate forces. Eight of the original 25 volunteers escaped. Three were declared missing. Another eight were hanged. Among those who were executed was leader James Andrews. Another six found their way back to the Union Army as part of a prisoner exchange a year later. That following March, the survivors met with President Lincoln who thanked them for their service and their efforts in the daring mission, and he told them they'd be the first to receive a new honor. The Medal of Honor. And with that, he had a prototype of the medal and gave it to the youngest member of the group, Private Jacob Parott. Jacob Parott was the first in the Army to receive what is now regarded as the highest honor any member of America's military can receive. The Medal of Honor is the award for valor in combat for all members of the armed forces. Since 1862, more than 3,400 such honors have been bestowed, many if not most of them, posthumously. Not many who earn such an award, live to talk about it. Today, the Medal of Honor is awarded sparingly to service members who as the Army says are, “the bravest of the brave; and that courage must be well documented.” Since the medal is awarded sparingly, and so many of those who receive it die in combat, there are few recipients alive today to tell their story. Retired Sgt. Leroy Petry of the U.S. Army Rangers is one of those few warriors. The U.S. Army Ranger Creed Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other Soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor. Rangers lead the way!

We are given 3-7 days of bereavement leave and, in the US, it is not required to be paid leave. And, after the first month, most of the extra help and support is dwindling because people get back to their lives with the expectations that you are as well. The problem is that you don't have your life to get back to. In this episode, I'll share how to resist the secondhand stress of society and harder still, the first-hand stress you put on yourself to be better quickly. Learn how this microwave mentality of grief is harmful to you and how to give yourself the same grace (in this case, grief grace) that you would effortlessly give to others. Verse – (Paul speaking) So here's what I want you to do: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.

Even as the highly contagious BA.2 subvariant spreads across the globe, California has not yet seen a sharp uptick in new coronavirus cases or hospitalizations. But in Los Angeles, more people who do test positive for COVID will now have access to treatment. Reporter: Jackie Fortier, KPCC For over two years now, the closure of the US-Mexico border to most asylum-seekers has left many migrants in limbo. For young people especially, that means months without school or anyway to fill their days. One organization in Tijuana is trying to do something about that by giving young migrants a place to learn, where they can also deal with the mental toll their journeys have taken on them. Reporter: Max Rivlin-Nadler As thousands of Ukrainians seeking asylum flock to the US-Mexico border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has conditionally opened an entry south of San Diego that has been shuttered for two years. The PedWest border crossing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry has become a welcoming area for people fleeing the war. Reporter: Kitty Alvarado, KPBS For many transgender and nonbinary people who are dealing with medical conditions, the path to permanent housing is often met with barriers. In Los Angeles, some organizations are working to change that. Reporter: Ethan Ward, KPCC
