How many people have you had sex with? In other words, what's your “body count?” In this episode, we're going to dive into the data. We’ll discuss the average number of sexual partners people report having, why men consistently report higher body counts than women, as well as why people seem to place so much emphasis on body count in the first place. I am joined by Ashley Weller. She is a Human Sexuality and Health Psychology Professor at Chapman University in Southern California. She also has a podcast called What’s your Position that tackles issues surrounding sexuality, relationships, life, and love from a comedic yet educational point of view. Some of the specific topics we explore include: Is there a better phrase than “body count” that we can use when referring to the number of partners we’ve had? What’s the average body count among adults today, and how has it changed over time? How does body count differ across gender? What are people really asking when they inquire about body count? Does body count actually tell you anything about someone else’s sexual health or competence? You can follow Ashley and check out What’s your Position here. Got a sex question?

2nd Sunday after PentecostScripture Lesson: Philippians 1:1-11

We've all been caught in the trap of responding "crazy busy" when someone asks how we're doing. But what if our obsession with busyness is actually preventing us from living our true purpose?In this soul-stirring conversation, Nancy Brusher reconnects with her high school friend Muffie Kruse to explore how simplifying our lives can lead to greater fulfillment. Muffie, a registered dietitian and homeschooling mother of three young boys, shares her journey of breaking free from what she calls the "taskmaster spirit" – that constant drive to check everything off the list at the expense of presence and connection.Challenging conventional wisdom, Muffie explains that simplifying isn't just about doing less or owning fewer things. Rather, it's about eliminating distractions so we can step fully into our calling.For anyone feeling overwhelmed by constant demands and endless to-do lists, this episode provides both practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement. Muffie's insights on prayer, presence, and purposeful living offer a roadmap for moving from perpetual busyness to meaningful engagement with what God has called us to do and who He's called us to become.Listen now to discover how simplifying your life might actually expand your capacity for joy, purpose, and impact. Then share this episode with four friends who need this message of freedom from the cultural pressure to be constantly "crazy busy."Watch the whole episodehttps://youtu.be/WNoiJYypBJYhttps://generationstogenerations.com/podcastordinarypeoplestories@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/ordinarypeoplestory https://www.instagram.com/ordinarypeopleextraordinary/ X: @storiesextra Any advice should be confirmed with a qualified professional.All rights reserved: Ordinary People Extraordinary ThingsStories shared by guests may not always be shared views of OPET.

At its core, insurance underwriting is about judgment: making sense of messy information, pricing for uncertainty and doing it at speed. Technology and AI should make that easier, but is it really the answer to underwriting's most persistent challenges? In this episode, Robin Merttens speaks to Guillaume Bonnissent, CEO and founder of Quotech, a platform built specifically for underwriting teams. Guillaume brings a rare combination of perspectives: he's a former underwriter who became a technologist and his company reflects that crossover. We begin by reflecting on the past 12 months: what's changed since Guillaume was last on the podcast, and why Quotech's strategy of building for niche underwriting teams has started to gain serious traction. In this conversation, Guillaume talks about: Why underwriters still spend far too much time retyping data The real promise of AI in ingestion and why it's finally deliverable The structural shift from generic platforms to class-specific solutions Why "build vs. buy" debates rarely make sense for MGAs How to build systems that record data usefully, not just store it Why AI can't fix bad inputs, and what that means for underwriting teams We also dig into broader trends: how emerging tech is shifting the role of underwriters, whether AI really is a disruptor or just another tool and why so many companies are still struggling to make basic data available for decision-making. What emerges is a sharp portrait of a market in transition, one that's slowly waking up to the need for class-specific tools, data-first workflows and AI that's genuinely useful.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine what truly matters in our spiritual lives. The central theme revolves around Acts 2:42, where we see the early church's devotion to four key areas: the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. This devotion wasn't casual; it was a steadfast commitment that oriented their entire lives around Christ. We're reminded that in our information-saturated age, we must be careful not to mistake information for authority. True spiritual growth comes from devotion to God's Word and His people. The message urges us to consider: Are we merely fitting God into our schedules, or are we orienting our lives around His rhythms? This call to devotion is especially relevant in our busy, distracted world. It encourages us to deepen our commitment to Scripture, authentic community, and prayer, recognizing that these practices are vital for our spiritual health and growth.

What will the final judgment be like? Pastor Colin talks about the picture that the Old Testament prophet, Joel, paints for us.

What really matters can't be burned, broken, or bought—and Jesus reminds us that life's true wealth isn't measured by what we own.

IV. Philippians

In this episode, I reflected on how Jesus never walked away—even when it would've been easier. He endured rejection, insults, and death on a cross, not for His own glory, but to save us. That kind of love—real, sacrificial love—challenges me to live differently. Jesus is the eternal “I AM,” God in the flesh, who came to give us life, not death. And because of His word, His cross, and His victory, I know I won't see death—I'll see life. So now I ask myself: knowing that, how am I going to live?

With all the activity in our lives, sometimes we need to stop and ask, “What really matters?” Pastor Colin talks about something that is far more important than what is pressing in on you now.

If wealth is up, why is happiness down? In this soulful episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, Shari sits down with educator and award-winning author Jeff Golden to explore one of the biggest contradictions in modern life: we have more money than ever, yet we're more disconnected and unfulfilled. Drawing from his book Reclaiming the Sacred, Jeff shares how we've been conditioned to chase the wrong things—and how to realign with what truly matters. You'll hear: Why money only accounts for 2–4% of happiness What really drives our well-being (and it's not what you think) How our culture of consumption is numbing us, not fulfilling us What “enough” actually looks like—and how to know when you've reached it Why micro-actions are more powerful than big life overhauls How to model a healthier money narrative for your kids (and yourself) Reclaiming the Sacred, Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World was named Best Environmental Book of 2023 by IndieReader, and winner of the Grand Prize at the Nautilus Book Awards (previous winners include the Dalai Lama, Brené Brown, and Barbara Kingsolver).

Back several episodes, I described the challenge of assessing candidates for a Sales Engineer position for a company that makes synchronized clocks for customers who need accurate times throughout their facilities like schools, airports, and hospitals. The company employs a rather rigorous 2-week product training program followed by a proficiency test that can end the tenure of new hires quickly. The first candidate I tested for the firm showed a 130+ IQ with a good sales personality. The company selected him and he’s doing great. Another candidate I didn’t recommend for sales showed similar intellectual prowess. While he made it through the training program, his lack of sales ability caught up with him in six months. The company uses a screening test that includes mechanical aptitude, math skills, and verbal reasoning ability. It’s timed and taken online. Until recently, I thought it had good content and face validity. My test of intellect incudes practical or tactical reasoning, conceptual or strategic aptitude, and impromptu math skill. I deliver these tests orally and the candidate has to deliver the answers orally. The practical and conceptual tests allow me to prompt or coach candidates: “Tell me more; what do you mean by that; explain further; give me another reason if you can.” On the math part, I can’t prompt but I can repeat questions as long as the candidate gets the answer within the (mostly) 60-second time limit. Since the client used a product-related aptitude test that looked pretty good, I basically had been using my test to project whether candidates can orchestrate the sales process from inception to closing the deal. My criteria had been an IQ score of 116 or the 86th percentile for the general population. I wasn’t focusing on candidates passing the two-week product training because the client’s test seemed to cover that piece. At least until recently when two candidates I recommended as adequate Sales Engineer prospects failed the training proficiency exam and were fired after the first 2.5 weeks. Both candidates passed the client’s aptitude test and scored 118 IQ’s on my test. Watch https://www.transformationtalkradio.com/watch.html

When and why testing pond water is important is Eric's focus today. He shares his decades of experience with fish keeping, arguing that while some professionals emphasize frequent testing, it isn't always necessary in established, healthy ponds. He highlights situations where testing is vital, such as during the cycling of a new pond, when fish are being temporarily housed during renovations, or if fish show signs of distress. Eric also touches upon testing for salinity, particularly in the context of quarantine or figuring out pond volume using salt and a hydrometer, and mentions his perspective on the nitrogen cycle and pH testing. Ultimately, Triplet asserts that visually assessing the pond and fish, along with experience, can often indicate water quality issues before formal testing is needed. Key Takeaways: During a remodel or when cycling a new pond, especially with fish, test for ammonia and nitrite vigilantly, even multiple times a day. For experienced keepers with established, healthy ponds, visual inspection of fish behavior and water clarity can sometimes indicate when testing is necessary, rather than routine testing. When testing is needed, simple test strips are often sufficient to determine if detectable levels of ammonia or nitrite are present. If fish in an established pond are not doing well despite seemingly normal test results, consider testing specifically for ammonia spikes after feeding. Use salt testing to accurately determine your pond's gallonage, which is critical for safe medication dosing.

The national debt recently hit the headlines after Moody's downgraded the U.S. credit rating. But does the national debt really matter? A lot of people think not and most don't seem overly concerned about it. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey argues that they should be worried, and he explains why. He specifically addresses how exploding government debt could impact the markets and urges gold and silver investors not to focus exclusively on the daily tariff news. 

In this episode, Soren Gordhamer shares how to find what really matters in a world full of noise. Soren is the founder of Wisdom 2.0, a global movement bridging mindfulness, compassion, and technology. He's also the creator of the new conference Wisdom + AI and co-leads Wisdom Ventures, a fund investing in companies that combine profits with human-centered purpose. We talk about what it means to live with intention in a time of constant distraction. Soren shares hard-won lessons from teaching meditation in a New York juvenile detention center to working alongside some of the world's top tech leaders. This episode is a powerful reminder that while AI and external success may be evolving fast, the real work is upgrading our inner life—learning to listen, slow down, and connect to what truly matters before our limited heartbeats run out. Some highlights we explore: The hug that meant more than meditation – Why a teen in juvie showed up week after week for something deeper than a lesson. “If you're not available for magic…” – Soren on why putting down your phone might be the first step to real connection. The right kind of hard – How to know when difficulty is actually a sign you're on the right path. Enjoy!
