Podcasts about realities

Ash Patel interviews Paul Frank, a rare combination of longtime developer, broker, and mentor, about what it really takes to survive and succeed in commercial real estate over multiple decades. Paul shares how being thrown into large QSR development projects in the 1980s shaped his risk discipline, why entitlement and municipal processes have become significantly harder in recent years, and how siloed brokerage models limit brokers' real understanding of the full real estate lifecycle. He also breaks down common development and financing mistakes, including DSCR traps, prepayment penalties, and why many “developers” lack the operational depth to underwrite and execute deals properly. The conversation closes with lessons on relationship-driven dealmaking, mentorship, and why discipline—not deal volume or door count—is the real long-term advantage in CRE.

Wellness, faith, and "just asking questions" have become gateways to extremism. In this episode, The Conspiracists author Noelle Cook breaks down why some women are being radicalized in plain sight—and why shame, facts, and debunking keep failing.

Every married couple can benefit from having strategies for a healthy marriage. Marriage can be challenging, especially as couples grow individually. So how can couples overcome modern-day distractions to achieve a healthy marriage? Strategies for a healthy marriage include, but are not limited to, playfulness, honesty, intimacy, deep connection, and being anchored in faith to honor the sacred covenant. A healthy marriage translates into a healthy family. When your children see you working on your marriage and experience your joy in your marriage, they learn how to build healthy relationships, too. Fullfillment in life and relationship To maintain fulfillment at home, recognizing the significance of a healthy marriage is crucial. Understanding the Ripple Effect A healthy marriage serves as the foundation for a harmonious family life. When spouses collaborate to create a stable, loving home, children benefit immensely. The Importance of Connection over Disconnection Disconnection in marriage is not neutral; it breeds further discord. It can stealthily lead to emotional distress and, eventually, separation. Misconceptions and Realities about Intimacy Intimacy and vulnerability are key components of marriage that are often misunderstood or ignored. Statistics and Sobering Realities of Divorce Statistics highlight a troubling trend: nearly half of marriages end in divorce, and the rate is even higher in subsequent marriages. Strategies for a Healthy Marriage Building a resilient marriage involves practical strategies. Communication: The Bedrock of a Strong Marriage Effective communication is the cornerstone of any healthy marriage relationship. Miscommunication or lack of expression can lead to marital breakdown. Forgiveness and Healing in Marriage At times, marriages face betrayals or challenges that seem insurmountable. Forgiveness in these circumstances may be challenging, but it is key. Cultivating a Stronger Family Through a Strong Marriage A healthy marriage inherently benefits children, providing them with a model of love, teamwork, and communication. When parents invest in their relationship, children feel more secure and valued. Thus, nurturing your marriage not only fulfills you and uplifts your partner but also enriches your family's collective well-being. Revisiting these principles and strategies offers couples a pathway to nurture and sustain a healthy marriage. Through dedication and mutual understanding, couples can create a positive familial atmosphere where everyone thrives. Read the full show notes and access all links.

The ground keeps moving and the old playbook can't keep up. We pulled back the curtain on our 2026 Leadership Reality Report and walked through the intel leaders are using to make faster, smarter decisions without perfect visibility—because waiting for certainty is the new risk.We start with the three realities shaping every org we work with: volatility that scrambles supply chains, policy, and tech; versatility as a non-negotiable demand across roles; and ambiguity that forces choices before the “right answer” even exists. From there, we map the four leadership priorities that actually convert chaos into progress. Adaptive velocity is first: changing at speed and scale, with tighter decision cycles and empowered teams. Human connectivity comes next: building trust, safety, and shared mission so dispersed teams generate real idea collisions and flag issues early. Then ecosystem vision: thinking beyond silos to orchestrate value across functions, partners, and platforms. Finally, efficient execution: eliminating noise, focusing on high-leverage activities, and protecting capacity so priorities ship.You'll hear fresh stats, perspective from top executives, and a clear path to brief your org with a ready-to-use deck and upcoming webinar. Use this preview to audit your team: Which skills are strong? Where are the gaps? What will you stop, start, and scale over the next quarter to move faster with less noise and more alignment?If this conversation helps you think sharper about 2026, follow the show, share it with your team, and leave a review so more leaders can find it.

SEGMENT 7: MODI'S TIMID REFORM AGENDA Guest: Sadanand Dhume (Wall Street Journal) Dhume assesses Prime Minister Modi as a timid reformer constrained by political realities and socialist-era institutions. India's growth potential remains unrealized as legacy regulations protect inefficient industries. Modi raised some thresholds but fundamental transformation of labor laws and state enterprises remains politically impossible.1895 BRUSSELS

Bible study isn't just reading Scripture it's theology in action. Discover 4 realities about theology that will transform how you know God, answer questions about faith, and grow as a Christian.Have questions about God? You're not alone. In this video, we explore what theology really means and why every Christian is a theologian whether you realize it or not.Theology matters because it's the only way to real change. When you study God through Bible study and Scripture, you replace lies with truth and transform your mind (Ephesians 4:22-24). This isn't just academic Christianity it's practical spiritual growth that impacts your daily walk with Jesus Christ.What you'll learn: ✅ Reality 1: You are a theologian (everyone has thoughts about God the question is whether they're true) ✅ Reality 2: The only way to change is theology (renewing your mind through God's Word) ✅ Reality 3: You need others (we do theology together as the church, learning from believers past and present) ✅ Reality 4: We keep coming back (relationships in the real world drive us back to learn more about God)This practical guide to Christian education, helped by Dr. Michael Reeve's short book “Authentic Ministry,” shows why apologetics and theology aren't just for seminary students. They're for every believer seeking to know the real God better. Whether you're questioning God, exploring faith for the first time, or deepening your spiritual life, these realities will help you understand why knowing God matters.Stop settling for a made-up version of God. Start your journey into everyday theology by asking "Who are you, God?" in whatever Bible passage you're reading. Knowing the real God and letting Him know your real self is your life's greatest privilege.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHY YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD MATTER1:06 - REALITY #1: YOU ARE A THEOLOGIAN1:20 - WHAT THEOLOGY ACTUALLY MEANS1:45 - REPLACING CULTURAL LIES WITH GOD'S TRUTH2:15 - REALITY #2: ONLY THEOLOGY CAN CHANGE US2:28 - PUTTING OFF THE OLD SELF & RENEWING THE MIND (EPHESIANS 4)4:00 - THEOLOGY TURNS OUR WORLD UPSIDE DOWN4:20 - WHY WE NEED DAILY DISRUPTION FROM GOD4:32 - REALITY #3: YOU NEED OTHERS5:28 - REALITY #4: WE KEEP COMING BACK5:55 - WHY GOOD THEOLOGY FUELS THE GOSPEL6:00 - HOW TO ASK “WHO ARE YOU, GOD?”6:29 - SUBSCRIBE + JOIN THE BINMIN NEWSLETTERJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Are you letting other people's "reality" limit what you believe is possible for you? In this raw episode, I share why a LinkedIn post from my friend Basant (a Google employee who got her job by catering their events) made me realize we all live in completely different realities—and why that changes everything.I unpack the brutal comments she received for quitting a toxic job ("she deserves a slap in the face to put her back into reality"), and why the people telling you to "face reality" are actually just telling you about their limitations, not yours. Plus, I share the story of quitting my own toxic job without telling my ex first, the backlash I got, and why it was still the best decision I ever made.Learn why your belief about whether things have to be "hard" will literally create that reality for you, how shifting one thought (things don't have to be so hard) led to three new clients in one week through automation, and the paradox of outworking your doubt. If you've been absorbing negative narratives about the job market or feeling pressured to stay in situations that drain you, this episode will show you how to choose your own reality instead.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.asknataliefisher.com/episode-265

Matthew 4:26-32 Sermon Notes & Liturgy Kingdom Epiphanies Sunday January 18th 2026 Christ City Church

Send us a textIn this episode, we open up about the moment we realized it was time to step back from the mic. Not because the passion was gone, but because life was speaking louder than the recording schedule. We talk through the signs that told us we needed a break, the internal tug‑of‑war between “keep going” and “slow down,” and the clarity that came once we finally chose rest with intention. We're joined by two incredible guests — Queen M and Queen K — who share their own journeys with stepping away. Queen M reflects on what it meant to pause during a season of transition and how giving herself space helped her reconnect with purpose. Queen K opens up about balancing caregiving, social work, and her own well‑being, and how taking a break became an act of self‑preservation rather than self‑doubt. Together, we explore: How to recognize when consistency is turning into pressureThe emotional weight of deciding to pause something you loveWhat it looks like to rest without guiltAnd the unexpected insight that comes from stepping back long enough to breatheIf you've ever wrestled with the decision to slow down — especially when your work is rooted in service, creativity, and community — this conversation offers honesty, companionship, and a reminder that rest is not a retreat. It's a recalibration. You can find Queen M on IG @styleandvibes and Queen K @carryonfriends.Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads.

Dylan Allman is a writer, conscientious objector, and liberty activist. A former soldier who broke free from military indoctrination, he now focuses his work on techno-optimism, individual liberty, and exposing the machinery of the state. He writes at the Interlinked Substack and is a vocal critic of the "Uniparty" establishment. In this episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, we are joined by Dylan to dissect the terrifying and rapid expansion of the police state under the guise of "Operation Metro Surge." We dive deep into the blinding hypocrisy of the modern political divide, examining how the "MAGA" right has pivoted from decrying the "Deep State" under Biden to cheering on federal jackboots now that their party holds the leash. We break down the recent tragedy in Minnesota, where Renee Good—an American citizen and legal observer—was gunned down by ICE agents and subsequently branded a "domestic terrorist" by the administration to cover their tracks. We also analyze the viral footage of an innocent American citizen being detained and disarmed by federal agents simply for "looking" like a suspect, asking the hard question: Does the Second Amendment even exist if the state can strip you of it on a hunch? Finally, we explore the "divide and conquer" trap that has the working class fighting each other instead of the technocrats building their prison. We close the show with a powerful "White Pill" solution from Dylan, offering a simple yet profound path toward de-escalating the madness and rebuilding a free society through empathy.

Have you ever wondered what ever happened to the Mafia? Throughout the 20th century, they were recognized as one of the most notorious crime organizations in the world. Feared by many, the Mafia has been depicted as brutal thugs in sensationalized movies and TV series. Consequently, there have been stereotypes created about Italians and Sicilians that are negative and shed a bad light upon their ethnicity and culture. Furthermore, there are worldwide crime syndicates that have been in the shadows without as much notoriety. Tonight on Ground Zero, JP Bovenzi from The Paradigm Shift fills in for Clyde Lewis and talks with Chuck Ochelli from The Ochelli Effect as they separate fact from fiction and talk candidly about THE MAFIA - MYTHS AND REALITIES. Listen on groundzeroplus.com at 7pm, pacific time.

Welcome to 2026! A new year brings a fresh set of rules for your retirement savings, and not all of them are straightforward. With the turning of the calendar comes changes to contribution limits, Social Security adjustments, and new tax mandates that could catch you off guard if you aren't paying attention. In this first episode of the year, I break down exactly what is changing for 2026, from the "good news" of higher contribution limits to the "bad news" of Medicare premium hikes that might eat up your entire Social Security cost-of-living adjustment. I also dive into a controversial new rule from the Secure Act 2.0 that forces high earners to change how they save in their 401(k)s, removing the choice of pre-tax savings for many. We also tackle some fantastic listener questions, including a look at why Target Date Funds had a "lucky" year in 2025 (and why I still don't recommend them), and I dismantle a dangerous misconception about retirement withdrawals, the "Mayonnaise Jar" math that convinces retirees their money will last 20 years when, in reality, inflation and life have other plans. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... (00:23) Intro to 2026 Changes. (04:36) Social Security COLA vs. Medicare Premiums. (06:40) New IRA and 401(k) Contribution Limits. (10:24) The New "Roth Catch-Up" Mandate for High Earners. (18:57) New Charitable Deduction Rules. (20:03) Listener Q: Target Date Funds Explained. (29:12) Listener Q: The "Mayonnaise Jar" Withdrawal Mistake. The "Fake" Raise: Social Security vs. Medicare in 2026 We start the year with what sounds like a win: a 2.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Social Security recipients. However, before you start budgeting that extra cash, you need to look at the other side of the ledger. Medicare Part B premiums have jumped by nearly 9.67%, rising to $202.90 a month. For many retirees, this increase will come directly out of their Social Security check, effectively wiping out the "raise" they thought they were getting. It is a reminder that healthcare inflation often outpaces general inflation, and your plan needs to account for that reality, not just the headline numbers. The $150k Trap: New Mandatory Roth Rules One of the biggest changes for 2026 comes from the Secure Act 2.0, and it impacts high earners. If you earned $150,000 or more in FICA wages in 2025, you no longer have a choice on how you make your "catch-up" contributions. Uncle Sam now mandates that your catch-up contribution (the extra $8,000 you can save if you are over 50) must go into a Roth 401(k). This means you lose the immediate tax deduction on those dollars. It is a way for the government to grab more tax revenue now rather than later, and for many savers, it removes the flexibility to design a tax strategy that fits their specific needs. If your employer doesn't offer a Roth option, you might be out of luck entirely. Why "Cookie Cutter" Investing Still Fails (Even When It Wins) A listener asked why their Target Date Fund performed so well in 2025. The answer lies in a rare alignment of international markets and bond performance that boosted these funds last year. But one good year doesn't change my fundamental problem with these funds: they are "cookie-cutter." They treat every 65-year-old exactly the same, ignoring your personal goals, your risk tolerance, and your income needs. It's like walking into a car dealership and being told you have to buy a minivan just because everyone else your age is buying one. You deserve a plan customized to your life, not a default setting based on your birth year. The "Mayonnaise Jar" Math Mistake Finally, I address a listener who believed he was set for 20 years because he could withdraw $50,000 a year from his $1 million nest egg until it hit zero. I call this "Mayonnaise Jar" math, assuming you can just pull cash out of a stagnant jar until it's empty. This logic fails because it ignores inflation. As we saw in 2025 with beef prices jumping 20%, the cost of living does not stay flat. $50,000 today will not buy $50,000 worth of goods in ten years. If you don't have your money invested to grow and outpace inflation, you aren't planning for a 20-year retirement; you're planning to run out of purchasing power long before you run out of money.

In this eye-opening episode of the Influence Global Podcast, host Gordon Glenister is joined by Max Corbridge, ethical hacker and founder of Secure Agentics, to unpack the rapidly growing risks that artificial intelligence poses to influencers, creators, brands and everyday users. Max discusses his decade-long career working with high-street banks, the UK government and major organisations to simulate cyber-attacks and strengthen defences. In recent years, his work has increasingly pivoted to AI-driven threats, where attackers now use autonomous agents, voice-cloning and deepfake technologies to scale scams at unprecedented speed. From major breaches such as the Jaguar Land Rover incident to AI-generated YouTube channels that convincingly mimic celebrity voices, Max explains why influencers are uniquely vulnerable—and what they must do to protect themselves, their reputation and their business. This episode is essential listening for creators, talent managers, agencies, marketers and brand partners who need to understand emerging risks in the AI era. Learn more about your ad choices.

What a powerful vision of God's unstoppable work in growing His kingdom! Pastor Jeff beautifully illustrates how the early church's story in Acts 11 mirrors timeless gospel realities - that resistance can't restrain God's grace, persecution doesn't stop proclamation, and spiritual momentum must be paired with maturity. His emphasis on the Word's transformative power and the importance of generous, mission-minded giving speaks to both personal discipleship and church-wide impact. The message resonates with authenticity, balancing biblical truth with practical application, while keeping Christ at the center of both evangelism and discipleship. A compelling call to embrace both the expansion and deepening of faith in service to God's kingdom. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

John Palke and I were introduced at a Realities for Children event some months back, and when we finally enjoyed a coffee together, I knew he had a story that I had to dig into and share! In real estate since 2019, John had previously been a commercial fisherman in Alaska (where he once fell in the water and nearly froze to death), was a partner in one of my favorite band bars, Hodi's Half Note, and worked in operations at Vestas - until he realized giant windmills were a mostly a heavily subsidized boondoggle.  After getting into real estate with a name-brand firm, John became a partner in a property management business, Big Bear Properties.  During the refi boom, he referred a full-time income worth of mortgages to a friend - who  encouraged to become a licensed mortgage broker - allowing him to provide full-service real estate for investors - or a la carte for anyone!   In 2025, he decided to go his own way in real estate, founding BBP Realty almost exactly a year from when this episode was released. John's a great storyteller, and I enjoyed every bit of this conversation - and I think you will too.  So please join me in getting to know and love my new friend John Palke.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

Thanks for being present with me for the conversation today as dig into the subject of UFO's or as they are being rebranded now UAP- unidentified anomalous phenomena. UFO's are having a resurgence of interest since the government hearings in September of 2025. These hearings were held by the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and was titled "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection". There were key witnesses to UFO activity from credible sources like US Air Force veterans. To explore this topic further and find out new information I'm visiting with Alan Steinfeld author of Making Contact who has been writing and studying UFO phenomena for over 30 years.
