As the year winds down, it's easy to focus on what didn't get done — the goals you missed, the plans that fell apart, the version of the year you thought you were supposed to have. In this solo episode, I'm offering a different way to reflect. Most years don't fail us.They educate us. We're talking about why falling short doesn't mean you did anything wrong, how creatives often outgrow the version of themselves who set their goals in January, and how to re-plan the year ahead from who you are now — not who you hoped you'd become. I'm also sharing how I use a word of the year as a guiding lens, why I look at it before I evaluate my goals, and what my past words — Expand, Rest, Refine — taught me about growth, capacity, and alignment. This year, my word is Trust, and I unpack what that really means in practice. If you're feeling behind, burned out, or unsure how to make sense of a year that didn't go exactly as planned, this episode is meant to ground you — not push you into another round of pressure-filled goal setting. Your goals didn't expire.They evolved.

Noisy Doors, Leaky Roofs, and the Mark of the Beast Last week's newsletter was written to be very simple. This week...not simple. We're tying together our lessons on the Salt Covenant, The Scarlet Harlot, and the basic menorah pattern of Workbook One. So no, it's not simple, but it's not too difficult, either! Try printing it off and studying it over two Shabbats, referencing the suggested videos or workbooks as you go.   ***   So what do noisy doors, leaky roofs, and the mark of the beast have in common?    Excellent question! I'm glad you asked.   In order to see the connection, we have to know a little something about each of them. If you want a refresher on the Beast, consider signing up for the Creation Gospel Workbook Four class coming up with Kisha Gallagher (scroll down for info) or watching the Scarlet Harlot series on YouTube. You can also refresh your memory on the meaning of the mezuzah with our "More Than" YouTube videos. We'll cover a few basics here to tie it together.   “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me…”   Yeshua standing at the door knocking is a huge hint, especially on the heels of John's sobering prophecies of the mark of the beast in Revelation. If we can't see the link to the world commercial system as “Babylon” in Revelation, we're not trying very hard. Revelation begins with memos to the seven assemblies emphasizing their need to “overcome” the tribulations John is about to describe,   • “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Re 3:14-21)   We can conclude that how to overcome is described in Revelation, but we can also conclude that an ignorance of the Torah will make our understanding only partial. Revelation is written as an incredibly intricate re-telling of the Torah portions. Without an understanding of those Torah portions, it will be difficult to be identified as one of those who overcome when they “keep the testimony of Yeshua and the commandments of God.”   If Yeshua knocks on the door of one of these potential overcomers, he knocks on a door that is marked by a mezuzah, which contains summaries of the commandments. To pull in the themes of our Salt Covenant study over the last several weeks, a mezuzah is a sign that those inside the house know to be salty within, tenderly and joyfully salting their commandment-keeping. Because they are pliable to the work of the Ruach HaKodesh within the house, they are ready to meet the challenges of the Beast outside the house.   The mezuzah is their reminder that they've committed their coming and going, especially their work and business dealings, to preserving their covenant with the Father with salt, for savory salt is our faith, the tenderness we have toward His Word. It is our desire to draw close to Him through our sacrifices, not begrudgingly or to be admired by others, but to give glory to the Father. Yeshua reminds us that he also wants to draw near to our salty selves, so he stands at the door and knocks.   Just imagine that the mezuzah on your door was Yeshua standing there each day inquiring if he may accompany you in your coming and going.   Because he is. The custom is to touch one's fingers to the mezuzah and kiss the fingers. It demonstrates affection and tenderness toward the Shma and other scriptures in the mezuzah, which remind us in our coming and going Who the only Source of wealth is. The name Shaddai is inscribed on mezuzot, which is the name describing His attribute of nourishment and supply.   By touching the mezuzah, we also are reminded like the Israelites in Deuteronomy Eight: “Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.' But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers...”   The mezuzah on the door marks the boundary between what happens when we go into the world and how we are inside our homes. If we are at war inside our homes, then how will we war against the principalities and powers outside our homes? The shin on the tefillin reminds the person Who opens the Heavenly windows to drip down zuzim, or coins, transactions, in our lives. Zuz is found in the word mezuzah, but the letter shin is found on both the mezuzah and the prayer tefillin.   Because they are worn in prayer, it helps one to adjust those trade prayers according to Yeshua's model…daily bread…forgiveness…holiness…His will and glory on earth…protection from temptation to sin. Ever notice how many famous actors, musicians, and sports stars end up unhappy, addicted, disconnected from the real world, and just plain weird? We are not spiritually wired to receive the glory of Heaven, only to reflect the glory of Heaven outward with salt. Of course they get weird and depressed!   Our labor and business dealings outside the home must be salted and lit from within first. We must extend ourselves from within, or it will eventually be evident to the world that we did not exert ourselves according to our wealth of salvation and light.nIt is thought that the marks of tzaraat (leprosy) that appeared in a home were a result of greed and stinginess. When the priests removed everything inside to the outside to quarantine and scrape the stones, everyone would see the wealth concealed inside, especially if they'd pretended not to have enough to help the needy brother. The “best third” is where the mezuzah is placed on a door, the upper third, like an upper room. The mezuzah marks the right hand frame of the door about 2/3 of the way up: “Mezuzah guards the Covenant, and so observing the mitzvah of mezuzah leads a person to truth and faith, the faith which is absolutely necessary when conducting business.”    “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,' And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'” (Zec 13:9)   Yeshua invokes this prophecy in Zechariah when he warns the Laodiceans in Revelation Three that he is standing at the door knocking: “Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich…”   This is where we see another connection to the mezuzah. Zechariah prophesies of the “third part.” This is thought to be the remnant that will come through the tribulation refined by fire instead of destroyed by it. They have not succumbed to the Beast's commercial activity, buying and selling excessively or on Shabbat (see CG Workbook Four or Workbook Two). Traditionally, the mezuzah is affixed at a pointing on the right side of the door 2/3 of the way up the door. To relate the thirds, the mezuzah is like the principle of the “upper room” we've studied over the last several weeks.    Ancient Israelite houses typically had two levels, a ground level where beasts were stabled and practical household work such as cooking and weaving took place, but the family quarters were on the second floor. An extra upper room had to be built either on the second floor or atop the family quarters, making it an upper third. More simply, an upper room was where the family made space for visitors, a space that wasn't there, yet they created the space through hospitality.   Those upper rooms in Scripture were places associated with hospitality toward the righteous visitor as well as resurrection from the dead, like the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Dorcas, and Eutychus. A mezuzah reminds us not to neglect making those spaces of hospitality for the righteous visitor, who represents hospitality toward Yeshua and the Living Word. Yeshua's noisy knocking on the door is a daily reminder that when we make an “upper room” of hospitality, then we are actually tapping into the Garden of Eden. The resurrections in the upper rooms of Scripture show us this.    On the mezuzah is either the Name Shaddai, or it is in the shorthand of the first Hebrew letter shin. Not so coincidentally, the tefillin that are placed on an Israelite male's forehead and arm are also marked with a shin (see above). The mezuzah and tefillin remind each day:   • Hear, O Israel! The LORD our God, the LORD is one! And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Dt 6:4-9)    Deuteronomy 8:11-19 reminds Israel not to be deceived when they become comfortable and prosperous in the Land, for their wealth will deceive them into thinking they earned it with their own hand. Remember the gumballs?   The tefillin on the hand and arm are a reminder that it is YHVH alone who gives the power to acquire wealth. Likewise, the mezuzah is marked with a shin for Shaddai, the One who provides sustenance, nourishment to Israel. Strangely, the shin is made of three Hebrew letters vav joined at the bottom. The gematria value of vav is six. 666.    Whaaaaat? Yes, it's the mark of the beast. But that's not the whole story. The mezuzah and tefillin are NOT the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast is when you get very close to being a salt covenant household or person, yet you have something lacking. Salt. Your daily work is not to acquire the wealth of the Kingdom to the glory of the Father, which can only be done through the power of the Ruach HaKodesh moving through the Word in you. The mark of the beast is when our daily work is to acquire the object of desire for our own sake. We can hear the disingenuous, unsalty believer when he says, “If God will just let me win the lottery, I'll build orphanages and feed the poor all over the world.”   And he probably will. But he will do it only in order to feed his own desires first. He's not really seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. He's pursuing his own kingdom, offering God a deal that the Kingdom of Heaven will benefit from the scraps. Such a person will not give commensurately with his newfound wealth, for he is stingy at heart. Unsavory salt. Tepid. Lukewarm. Blechhhh!   The secret of the 666 is that it is only the letter of the Torah without the Ruach. The shin is like a menorah when the backlight of the Ruach shines through it (again, see Workbooks 2 & 4). Remember last week's lesson on the gumball machine? It was what you couldn't see that had to occur before what you could see. The Ruach precedes the letter of the Torah. Together, with the spiritual backlight through the literal three vavs, it yields seven, the seven- branched menorah. One tefillin has three vavs, but its mate has four! 3 + 4 = 7. Compare to the above: To be unsalty is 666. To be salty is to shine the seven spirits of Adonai described in Isaiah and Revelation:     •  wisdom   •  understanding   •  counsel   •  Spirit of Adonai   •  power   •  knowledge   •  reverence    Yeshua, the Living Word, is the doorkeeper of the overcoming household. We never want to reduce him to someone there to reward us with wealth. The word mezuzah comes from a Hebrew word meaning movement, going back and forth. The historical zuz was a coin, about a day's sustenance for one adult:   • Weight: About 4.26 grams (0.137 troy ounces) of silver. • Value: Historically equivalent to a day's wage or a portion of food/clothing, (e.g., 200 zuz was a year's support).  • Modern value would be about $20.   "Give us today our daily bread." Not the lottery.   Not so coincidentally, a mezuzah means more than movement. It is rooted as well in the movement of a beast: What starts out as a beautiful creation of spirit (upper room), soul and body (lower rooms), can degenerate into the mark of the beast. Instead of letting the Ruach drip into our lower rooms of work and family, the upper room is sealed off because of our stinginess and greed. Esau and Jacob had very different motives in asking for blessings. We can become unsavory, relentless hunters like Esau, the Red One, nicknamed Edom because he was red and hairy all over like a beast, a man of the field who loved hunting. We don't want to become marked by the Red One, never satisfied, even on Shabbat.   “…and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.” (Re 13:17)   Nehemiah's struggles with those returning to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple, especially in their continued buying and selling on Shabbat, are the reference point. He eventually had to order the gates of Jerusalem shut and locked to prevent the vendors from coming in with their goods. How glorious will it be when the gates no longer need to be shut, for no one will even entertain the idea of disobeying the King of King's command to rest and be with Him in Jerusalem on Shabbat.   Knock, knock.   In short, the mark of the beast is on one who buys and sells on Shabbat. Because there is no trust in Adonai to provide the many things we crave, we continue to work on His holy day. Someone who believes in God may have salt, but it is not savory. One who believes in God enough to do what He says is savory salt. Salt allows us to draw near the upper room of the Garden. I'm sure Yeshua is having wonderful conversations with the righteous souls of those who just didn't understand Shabbat, but they were faithful in what they knew. They are learning while they wait, not rebelling.   Ezekiel describes what went wrong in the “upper room” of the Garden of Eden, a hospitable place for those who want to draw near to the voice of Elohim, but a place from which rebels are purged. The “trader” was cast out of the heavenly fiery stones and tossed into the lower realms of strange, profane fire, that is, fire used by those estranged from the upper room fires of the Ruach above:   You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, and you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. (Eze 28:13-16; 18)   Ezekiel 28 drops a hint to where we should be vigilant: “By the abundance of your trading [H7404 rekula] you became filled with violence within, and you sinned...”   ????? rawkal' [H7402] to travel for trading   Our trade is part of work for our living, yet, the abundance is the danger zone. If our inner fire craves more wealth than we are willing to give back to Heaven commensurately, our going back and forth, zuzing about, to trade our time and effort for goods, power, and esteem becomes idolatry. In Hebrew, moving back and forth is zuz [zuz is also a coin], the root of mezuzah. The mezuzah marks the door where we travel back and forth each day to obtain our portion of wealth.   When our pursuit of wages and wealth pushes the testimony of Yeshua and the commandments of God beneath our feet instead of allowing them to drip daily from the upper room of the resurrection Ruach that raised Messiah from the dead, we sin. Our house's upper room should be designed to drip to lower floors of daily living, or we become unsavory salt.   We trade our precious lives, our time, our effort, to accumulate an abundance of things, not necessarily money, but what money will purchase: entertainment, security, comfort, esteem, power, knowledge, appeasement, etc. These things deceive us into believing they will bring joy and peace, but we know it's a lie because they never do. They are simply offered to the strange, consuming fire of the soul, but are not refinement of the spirit, which is everlasting peace and joy. It brings savory salt, light, and contentment from within.    The ancient investment advice is:   • Invest 1/3 of your income in tangible property such as real estate, durable goods, secure long-term investments  • Invest 1/3 in your daily labor, your paycheck, investments that provide a faster return, a little riskier, easily liquidated • Invest 1/3 above the mezuzah in the Kingdom of Heaven by lending to the poor, giving to needy, investing time in spiritual causes along with Torah study, prayer, service, discussing Scripture with others, etc. Even kindness is an investment!   We should not become “stingy” with Heavenly principles in the world of work, which would reflect a home's lower rooms sealed off from the upper room. The upper room should drip the testimony of Yeshua and the noisy commandments of God through the power of the resurrection Ruach. It leaks into the lower rooms of family and work!   The leaky roof is what we need to carry into the world of work and business as well as our relationships. An outwardly successful business producing wealth that can only be spent before the resurrection of the dead is not successful at all.    Preparation in the home under the disciplines of the Ruach HaKodesh will be evident in the place of business, not as a pile of 666 cash, but as peace in drawing near the Father, salt. The physical work is simply a means of building the Kingdom instead of demanding that the Father bless our work to build our own kingdoms of security, esteem, attention, comfort, intellectual stimulation, etc. Whether we have little or many zuzim, all we need to remember is that we must give commensurately with the wealth the Father drips down upon us.    If we can be responsible even with earthly money, which has no righteousness within itself, then we can be responsible with Heavenly riches.   If we can't be trusted to give commensurately with our wealth when there is no Temple service, and much freedom is granted in when and how much we give, then how can the Father trust us with His riches when the Temple on “the mountain of God” descends? The Temple services and the Land of Israel are places of extreme exactness in managing work and wealth.   Manage earthly zuzim faithfully, and we will inherit the Heavenly riches to manage.    One of my favorite movies is about a Quaker family, from the book Friendly Persuasion. One of the funniest lines is, “Friend, thee's got a squeaky door upstairs.”    Friend, thee's got a squeaky door downstairs, too. Yeshua is knocking, reminding, inquiring, requesting if we will open to his voice. It is the same voice of Elohim that walked and talked in the Garden, an upper room.   When we open our doors to him, we release the water of the Word from our upper rooms and let it fill our homes, workplaces, and relationships. If we move about, may we zuz for the glory of the Father.    Please SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter to get new teachings.

Once my godbrother, Vatsala, gave his Bhagavad-gītā class, and he gave the example of yogurt. How do you make yogurt? Well, first you get some milk from Bhakti Farms—because there's no better milk on the planet. I've watched Nirkulā make yogurt all the time—you get the right kind of pot, and you have to use a thermometer to find out the exact temperature. Then you put in some culture of yogurt from a previous batch. And how much does it take? A dollop! How much is a dollop? Anybody know? It's not specifically defined, but it's like just a little bit—a dollop. You put a dollop in, then you leave it in that environment, that favorable environment, and what happens? The whole pot turns to yogurt. It takes to the culture, and then it spreads and it becomes part of it. So, in a similar way, my godbrother Vatsala said, "We have the big pot of our life." What's in it? All kinds of stuff. If you really take the time now, before the New Year comes, and you write down everything you're doing, you'll be shocked at all the stuff you're doing simultaneously. You're doing a lot. And then if you think, "Okay, how much am I chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa? A dollop? I've got a little dollop going on here?" You keep doing that, as Prabhupāda is pointing out here, and adjust your intention. Why am I doing what I'm doing? It's like, "I'm offering to Kṛṣṇa," and we should be sincere about that. And as we do, then that chanting and that intention... it will envelop the entire pot, and it will turn to something else. It's a foregone conclusion that that will happen. So, it's not a disadvantage to be engaged in the world. It's only a disadvantage when you forget Kṛṣṇa. When you remember Kṛṣṇa, then 'vidyam ca avidyam ca yas'—you see two things at the same time. You see ignorance and the result of ignorant activities, and you see Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and you see the antidote. And those two become a solid realization when you see them side by side. It's so interesting, isn't it, to be engaged in the world when you're reading Bhagavad-gītā? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

As the world electrifies—from cars and buses to datacentres and defence—demand for battery materials is exploding. Today, China refines more than 90% of the world's graphite into the material used in virtually all EV battery anodes—that level of concentration is a strategic vulnerability Canada, and its allies, can't ignore.But Canada is starting to respond. The federal Major Projects Office has just referred Nouveau Monde Graphite's Phase-2 Matawinie Mine as a “Major Project of National Interest”—a move aimed at helping Quebec and Canada shift from exporting ore to building a full mine-to-refine graphite value chain at home, and with it, an entirely new strand of economic and industrial capacity.In this episode of Disruptors: The Canada Project, host John Stackhouse takes listeners into that story. With former Quebec premier Jean Charest and Eric Desaulniers, founder & CEO of NMG, he lifts the hood on what it means for a critical-minerals project to be treated as a “major project” in Canada—and what this could mean for Canada's role as a trusted critical-minerals supplier to its G7 allies.

She opens up about the shifts she's making in her business model, why she's returning to community-based programs, and how she sees the coaching industry evolving as regulations tighten and expectations rise. Marilyn shares openly about simplifying her systems, refining her offers, and recommitting to the habits and platforms that genuinely support sustainable growth. You'll also hear her break down the mindset work behind removing what no longer serves you, navigating digital overwhelm, recommitting to authentic leadership, and focusing on long-term impact over online distractions. Marilyn explains which tools and platforms she's loving right now, what she's preparing for in 2026, and why coaches must use discernment in an industry full of shiny objects and mixed messages. She closes with a powerful reminder not to be attracted to “the pretty things” or fall into trauma-bonding content online, especially when you're called to lead with purpose. What habits, wins, and lessons from 2024 should you keep and which ones should you release before entering 2026?

How to Future-Proof Your Business (So It Keeps Growing, No Matter What Happens Online)

Irish Tech News Audio Articles

Guest post by Yasmin Vorajee If you run your own business - whether you're a coach, consultant, or service provider - you've probably felt how quickly things can change online. One week, your posts are flying; the next, the algorithm shifts and visibility drops overnight. A platform you've relied on for years suddenly changes its rules. And all that effort building an audience can feel like it's hanging by a thread. That's why future-proofing your business isn't a luxury - it's essential. It's about creating a business that still brings in clients, income, and opportunities no matter what happens online. One that's built on solid foundations, you control - not borrowed attention. And it all starts here. 1. Build an Ecosystem You Own When you rely entirely on social media, you're renting space on someone else's land. Future-proofing begins by building what you own - your email list, your website, and your digital assets. These are the foundations that give you stability and control, even when the online landscape changes. They're how you build lasting relationships with your audience - directly, personally, and on your own terms. 2. Craft a Message That Moves With You Platforms change. Your message shouldn't. Your message is the thread that travels with you anywhere - from a post to a podcast to a stage. A strong, clear message cuts through the noise and makes your business recognisable, no matter where people find you. It's the story you keep telling: who you help, how you help, and the difference your work makes. Clarity never goes out of style. 3. Turn Your Expertise Into a Signature Framework When your expertise becomes a framework or process, you're no longer competing on trends - you're leading with ideas. Frameworks make you memorable. They give structure to your brilliance and make it easy for people to trust what you do. This is how your business becomes bigger than you - it turns into a body of work that lasts. 4. Build Systems That Create Leverage The most resilient businesses aren't the busiest - they're the best designed. Think automation, not exhaustion. A future-proof business has simple systems that nurture leads, deliver value, and generate sales - even when you're offline. Automated emails, repurposed content, digital assets that sell - these are the quiet engines that keep your business moving while you take time off. 5. Diversify How People Find You Visibility should be layered, not linear. Don't rely on one discovery source. Blend search-based visibility (like blogs, YouTube, or podcasts) with connection-based growth (collaborations, interviews, and referrals). This approach creates stability and reach. When one source slows down, another keeps your business visible. 6. Multiply How You Monetise Your core transformation - the result your clients get - can take many forms: a course, a program, a workshop, or a digital product. Future-proofing means creating multiple ways to buy - all connected to the same message and expertise. That's how you build consistent revenue and long-term sustainability, without reinventing your business every few months. 7. Stay Adaptable - Inside and Out No system can replace the ability to stay calm and clear when things change. The entrepreneurs who last are the ones who can hold their nerve - they lead themselves first. That's why future-proofing isn't just about systems; it's about self-trust. The more grounded and adaptable you are, the more freedom your business gives you. 8. Keep Refining and Reinventing Finally, treat your business like a living thing - it grows, evolves, and occasionally needs pruning. Review your data. Listen to your clients. Refine your message. Adjust your strategy. Businesses that last don't cling to what used to work. They stay alert, curious, and willing to evolve. The Bottom Line A future-proof business is one that works even when you step away. It's powered by ownership, clarity, leverage, and adaptability. Because freedom isn't found in chasin...

Are you a CNC shop owner or fabricator striving for more precision, greater output, and increased revenue? In this insightful episode of "Talkin' Shop with ShopSabre" [00:08], hosts Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters dive deep into the philosophy that mastery is built, not bought. This isn't about quick wins; it's about refining your craft and taking deliberate steps towards sustainable growth. Discover why investing in continuous improvement—from your people and processes to your products—is the cornerstone of long-term success. Many businesses make the mistake of believing that growth will happen automatically or that simply acquiring new equipment is enough. Brandon and Nick challenge this notion, emphasizing that even with the best machinery (like ShopSabre's advanced CNC routers, plasma cutters, and lasers), true potential is unlocked through discipline, repetition, and refinement [00:25]. Learn why shops that consistently grow are those that never stop learning, never stop improving, and never settle for "good enough." The discussion highlights the critical difference between being "good enough" and achieving true excellence, much like the commitment to quality seen in industry leaders [03:00]. The conversation extends to the importance of efficient processes and embracing technological advancements. Nick shares personal anecdotes about the challenges of working from home and the value of proper team collaboration, underscoring how clarity in purpose (the "why" behind tasks) empowers employees to contribute more effectively [08:00]. The episode also touches on practical business strategies, such as revisiting old designs and pricing structures to reflect true value and the continuous effort to deliver exceptional customer experiences [09:00]. Ultimately, this video encourages viewers to embrace mistakes as learning opportunities, prioritize consistent small improvements over flashy shortcuts, and leverage quality tools and support to refine their craft, leading to noticeable and lasting results.

This in-person episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast dives into the energetics of fall through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fascia, and nervous-system-friendly movement. Jackie is joined by healer Sheri—a seasoned RMT, yoga teacher, and creator of Facyin (fascia + yin)—who vulnerably shares her 2024 heart-health journey and what it taught her about the invisible weight of emotions. You'll learn why autumn (the Metal season) is the time to refine the “fruit” of summer into concentrated value, how lungs + large intestine govern this season, and practical ways to let go, grieve, and regain focus without pushing or hustling against your body's rhythm. Listen For Why fall is the season of distilling your efforts into what's truly valuable The difference between instinct (Po) and intuition (Shen)—and why instinct leads in autumn How grief shows up in the lungs (and a sound practice to release it) The role of the large intestine in letting go—physically and emotionally What Facyin is and why tending fascia frees flow, focus, and vitality A simple acupressure point to support grief release (LI-4, the “web” of your hand) Chapter Timestamps 00:00 Welcome & why seasonal energetics matter03:05 Meet Sheri: RMT, yoga teacher, creator of Facyin06:40 Sheri's 2024 heart-health story: shock, surrender & the weight of emotions14:45 Fascia 101: the body's sensory matrix & why fluidity = flow20:28 Aromatherapy kinesiology & moving from lower → higher vibration25:40 Five Elements 101: Yin/Yang & the five seasons (hello, Metal)29:10 Fall = Metal: distilling, purifying, and working with what's most valuable33:02 Instinct (Po) vs. Intuition (Shen): why instinct leads this season37:30 Lungs + Large Intestine: what they govern & how to support them41:05 Grief release: the “ssssss” lung sound practice (use audible → whisper → silent)44:18 Acupressure LI-4 (hand web) for moving grief + pairing with breath/sound47:55 Why pushing right now backfires (and what to do instead)51:10 Facyin: fascia + yin sequences for seasonal support54:20 Foods & gentle practices that nourish Metal season58:15 Final takeaways: relax to receive, move to metabolize emotion1:00:30 Where to find Sheri + how to join her classes Key Takeaways Autumn asks for refinement, not acceleration.

Fascia work (rolling, melting, yin holds) restores fluidity so energy and emotion can flow. Ask weekly: What gets released? What stays? What is the purified “value” I'm building with now? Gentle Fall Practices (Try These) 3–5 minutes of the “ssssss” lung sound (audible → whisper → silent) once or twice daily LI-4 acupressure holds during exhale (30–60 seconds per hand) A short Facyin sequence (yin shapes that trace lung/large intestine lines + slow breath) Nourish with in-season foods (warm, mineral-rich, simple; think pears, ginger, congee/broths) One weekly refinement ritual: list everything you're doing → circle the “gold” → release the rest About Our Guest — Sheri Registered Massage Therapist (since 2003) specializing in fascia Yoga instructor & Role Model® Method practitioner Practitioner of Aromatherapy Kinesiology (Blossoming Heart) Creator of Facyin: a fascia-forward yin practice designed to move energy, metabolize emotion, and align with the seasons Heart-health survivor and advocate for emotion-informed healing Resources Mentioned Sheri's classes: Facyin at The Alchemy (Wednesdays 7pm) — drop-in or series (add booking link) Sheri's website: https://www.sweetlightmagik.com/ Follow @thejackiemcdonald for weekly tapping & seasonal practices Shareable Quotes “Fall is the season of taking the pure from the impure—refining your harvest into gold.” “When we don't move on purpose, energy stagnates.

The Story Behind the Bottle: Why Your Clinic's Origin Story Matters In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares a powerful lesson about storytelling, sparked by a birthday gift—a 1985 bottle of wine with an incredible backstory. What started as a meaningful gesture turned into a masterclass on how stories give depth, emotion, and memorability to everything—from a bottle of wine to your physical therapy clinic. Quick Ask Help us reach our goal of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary The Gift: Danny tracks down a rare 1985 bottle of wine as a 40th birthday gift—and discovers that the story behind it matters more than the wine itself. The Lesson: The story gives meaning. Without it, even something valuable loses its emotional connection and memorability. The Parallels: Your clinic is your “bottle of wine.” Patients remember stories—why you started, who you help, and what drives you. Sales takeaway: Facts tell, but stories sell. The human brain connects more deeply through narrative and emotion. Real-world example: A clinician with an ACL tear who now helps ACL patients isn't just selling rehab—she's sharing a relatable journey. How to Use This Lesson Craft your origin story: Write down what you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice your story: Tell it naturally at workshops, networking events, or in your videos and social posts. Refine it fast: Use short “elevator pitch” versions for local groups or online intros. Be specific: Generic stories get forgotten. Details and personal experiences make you memorable. Share it everywhere: On your website, your Google listing, your email signature, and every patient interaction. Mindset & Application Without story, there's no stickiness: People remember emotion, not bullet points. Context multiplies impact: A great gift or clinic means more when people understand the meaning behind it. Social proof amplifies belief: Just like the wine connoisseur validated Danny's gift, testimonials validate your service. Repetition builds clarity: The more you share your story, the more confident and authentic it becomes. Notable Quotes “You may have an awesome bottle of wine, but if people don't know the story behind it, it doesn't hit the same way.” “Your clinic is your bottle of wine—your story makes it memorable.” “Facts tell. Stories sell.” Action Items Write your origin story: What you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice telling it to patients, referral partners, and community contacts. Add your story to your website's About section and intro videos. Share a short version at your next local event or online post.

The road to mastery is paved with small improvements every day.Communicating can feel daunting at times. What does it take to find your voice in the moments that matter most? As Chiney Ogwumike says, “There is freedom on the other side of your fear.”As a professional basketball player, NBA and WNBA analyst for ESPN, and advocate for gender equality in sports, Ogwumike faces many situations where communication is critical. For her, achieving confidence in communication is the same as honing any other skill—embracing failure and refinement through repetition. “The best things in life are things you work out over long periods of time,” she says. “Great people, great communicators, anyone that's working at something, show up each and every day and just chip away, chip away, chip away, until they turn that weakness into a strength.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ogwumike and host Matt Abrahams discuss how practice and preparation can equip us for better communication, transforming fear into confidence, perfectionism into authenticity, and weakness into strength.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Chiney OgwumikeEp.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail You Ep.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:20) - Communication on the Court (04:02) - Performing Under Pressure (06:11) - Lessons from Great Coaches (08:21) - Embracing Imperfection and Authenticity (11:43) - Strategies for Effective On-Air Communication (16:16) - The Final Three Questions (19:09) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.
