Melanie Perkins is CEO and co-founder of Canva, currently valued at over $42 billion, generating over $3 billion in annual revenue, with more than 240 million monthly active users and, incredibly, eight consecutive years of profitability. But the journey was far from smooth. Melanie was rejected by over 100 investors during her first fundraising round, her team spent two years without being able to ship a new feature during a technical rewrite, and the company pivoted early from a yearbook publishing platform to become the design powerhouse it is today. Through it all, she maintained what she calls “column B” thinking: building toward a dream future rather than just using the bricks around you.We discuss:1. How “column B” thinking helped Melanie build Canva, by starting with an impossible vision rather than existing constraints2. The power of setting “crazy big goals”3. How Canva survived a painful two-year period without shipping any new features while rewriting their codebase4. How Melanie pushed through 100 investor rejections, and how she used each rejection to strengthen her pitch5. Canva's “two-step plan”: build one of the world's most valuable companies, then do the most good possible6.

As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy, government and Empire. And at its centre, controlling the flow of information and influence, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move. Drawn into the game and unsure who to trust, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces 'checkmate'? A thrilling adventure based on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty is a world premiere combining powerful performances, a haunting soundscape and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.

Send us a textRed in Tooth and Claw by Lish McBrideFaolan is alone after her grandfather dies. And out on the frontier is no place for a teen girl, alone. Which is why her grandfather encouraged her to dress as a boy ever since she lost her parents. But even if she is pretending to be a boy, the town of New Retienne's mayor has his sights set on the land that was her grandfather's. The mayor says that Faolan can't live out there by themselves, so arranges for Faolan to be sent off to a place called The Settlement. Faolan just thinks she has to bid her time until she turns 18 to reclaim her land. But The Settlement has other ideas. Recommended for grades 8 and up. Support the show

What if everything you've walked through these last few years — the battles, delays, and stretching — has actually been preparation for what's about to unfold?And what if everything that's been happening in the world around us — the shaking of systems, the exposure of corruption, the turbulence in nations, even the uncertainty in the Church — has all been setting the stage for God's greater plan of divine alignment and revelation?In this powerful prophetic conversation, Robert is joined by Apostle Mike Herzog to share how God is about to connect the dots. Suddenly, what didn't make sense — in your life, your nation, and the world — will begin to come together. You'll see how the tests, the trials, and even the hidden seasons have all been part of His bigger purpose.

Laura Murray Laura Murray joins Kay Daigle to discuss her book Becoming a Person of Welcome: The Spiritual Practice of Hospitality.

Laura's wise counsel and suggestions based on her own experiences will open your mind to new ways to practice Christian hospitality.

I'm Kay Daigle. I'm your host today. And today we are talking with our guest, Laura Murray. Welcome, Laura. Laura >> Thanks for having me. Kay >> Oh, we're so excited that you're here. Laura is a pastor. She is an author. She's a spiritual director. She is the Director of Spiritual Engagement and Innovation at Fuller Seminary's Center for Spiritual Formation. That's kind of a long title. Laura >> It is long. Kay >> She is a retreat creator. And we'll mention that at the end as well, that she just has been doing many things. She has a lot of experience in the church and as a spiritual director. And so we're just delighted that you were able to be with us. You can find out more about Laura on our website. If you just go to the top menu and go to About Us and look at the Video/Podcast Contributors, and we will have more information about Laura and how you can get in touch with her. So we are talking today from your book Becoming a Person of Welcome: The Spiritual Practice of Hospitality. And I have to say that I was just really interested in that title when I saw it online somewhere that your book was going to be coming out and the spiritual practice of hospitality just really intrigued me as I read about that. And so tell us a little bit about it. We're not talking about just hospitality where are you having people over to your house, Laura >> Right. Kay >> This encompasses way beyond that, and I'm sure you picked that up as we go through. We're not going to tell you how to set your table. We're not going to tell you how to manage your menu or anything like that. We're going to talk about spiritual hospitality. So, Laura, just tell us where this idea of writing about hospitality begin. Laura >> Yeah, thanks for that question. And I was talking to somebody about this the other day, said, why did you decide to write on hospitality? And I thought, I think it found me. I didn't go searching for it. It found me. I was in the middle of my doctoral studies and the pandemic hit and shelter in place hit. And I didn't necessarily have a context for my studies. When you're doing a doctoral study, you have to have a context. And I had just stepped away from a role of pastoral ministry in a church and I found myself really struggling in my relationship with God because those anchors weren't there anymore. Like the anchors of worship or the anchors of gathering together, those things weren't there anymore. So I thought, if I'm struggling being with God,

The AI adoption picture is nuanced In this episode, I share some fascinating insights about AI usage among writers and the impact it's having on their business. Last month, I sent out a simple 10-question survey to my community about AI usage, fears, and business impact. I received 157 complete responses from writers across every experience level, from brand-new freelancers to 15+ year veterans. What they shared was, in some ways, congruent with what I've been saying for the past few months on the topic of AI integration in our businesses as freelancers. But in other ways, the data was very surprising and went against some of my assumptions. . Overall, here's what I discovered: The story we're telling ourselves about AI and freelance writing — both the doom-and-gloom version and the "AI will solve everything" version — is missing something crucial. The real story is way more nuanced. More interesting. And way more hopeful. Below is a very short, high-level summary of what I uncovered. There's way more detail in the audio. And, again, you can download my full (and free) PDF report on the survey findings here: Key stats & signals Adoption is real: 93% use AI to some degree; ~74% are regular or fully integrated users. Impact splits three ways: 34% say AI elevates their work or enables new offerings; 41% mainly see time savings; ~25% report little or negative impact. The “integration dividend”: Fully integrated users were ~6.5x more likely than non-users to report revenue growth. Client disclosure: 49.7% haven't told clients they use AI. Among those who did, reactions skew positive/neutral 4:1 over negative. Security is the true brake: Confidentiality concerns are the only fear strongly correlated with hesitation. Market reality check: 86% report their business is doing about the same or better than a year ago. What's working (and what isn't) Winners focus on value, not speed. Positioning AI as a quality and capability lift draws nearly double the positive client reactions versus “it helps me go faster.” Dabbling doesn't pay. Occasional users see flat results; systematic workflows create compounding gains. Efficiency ≠ income, unless pricing and packaging evolve. One in three sees clear AI benefits without revenue growth because time savings get reinvested in the same low-margin work or “free” add-ons. Four writer personas Velocity Builders (29%) – Fully integrated, confident, doubling down. Next move: tighten packaging and raise fees. Cautious Optimizers (28%) – Consistent users, worried about client perceptions. Next move: use “value” framing when discussing process. DIY Skeptics (23%) – Occasional or non-users, held back by security/ethics. Next move: private-mode workflows and clear data policies. Value Elevators (20%) – Regular users leveraging AI for strategy and advisory. Next move: document outcomes and increase rates. Practical moves you can make this week Map your workflow and insert AI where it upgrades research, planning, analysis, repurposing, and client communication—not just drafting. Reframe your client narrative: “AI helps me spend more time on strategic thinking and client-specific insight.” Audit deliverables from the last 6 months and convert “extras” (competitive intel, repurposing plans, frameworks) into defined, billable components. Triage security: adopt approved tools/workspaces for NDA-sensitive work so you can move forward without risk. Recommended paths forward Efficiency Path: Do the same work faster. Good entry point; not durable on its own. Capability Path: Expand offerings and depth; move up the value ladder. Leadership Path: Guide clients on their own AI integration and workflows; highest leverage. Resources & next steps AI Advantage Bootcamp: Registration opens around October 20.

In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins explores three life-changing decisions that shaped his path—and how making similar choices can transform yours.He begins by distinguishing between what he calls the ground-level perspective (the logical, comfort-seeking mindset most of us live by) and the spiritual perspective (the higher, heart-led view that sees meaning in discomfort and purpose in uncertainty).From there, Light unpacks the pivotal decisions that redefined his life: giving up alcohol to reclaim his authenticity and awareness, committing to follow his inner guidance no matter how illogical it seemed, and making the simple but radical choice to never skip meditation.Each story illustrates how trusting your inner voice—especially when it doesn't make sense—can open doors you didn't even know existed.If you've been questioning what's next, or struggling to know which path to take, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for tuning out external noise and turning up the volume on your inner guidance.It's a reminder that the most aligned decisions often look illogical from the outside—but deeply right from within.Recommended episodes:7 Harsh Realities of Committing to Your Inner Work5 Lies That Are Secretly Holding You BackSend us a text message.
