What came out the other side was a coaching business built entirely on lived experience. In this episode they talk about what a soul aligned life actually means in practice, what holds women back from becoming who they truly are, and why acknowledging what is wrong is always the first step forward.

What does hope look like for Lebanese teenagers growing up through economic collapse, displacement, and war?   In this episode of God on the Move, Maher El Hajj shares how Youth for Christ Lebanon creates safe, welcoming youth centers where traumatized 12–18-year-olds find community, counseling, tutoring, and the gospel shared through relational discipleship. Hear how YFC partners with local churches and navigates ministry in a majority-Muslim context. Maher recounts the story of a displaced 15-year-old whose grief and depression gave way to healing and joy as the center became his “second home,” and explains why many Muslim families still send their children because they see real transformation. He closes with a plea not to forget Middle Eastern Christians and specific prayer requests for perseverance, wisdom, peace, and support.

“During the recent conflict [in Iran], there was a pause, not a full stop or halt of the functions. Once the airspace opened up again, we reprioritized the delivery of those life-saving kits to the member states, and we came back on track… We still find hope in the communication between the different member states, between the different partners to secure some of these supplies, or keep supply chains alive.” Daniel Dadzie speaks to Hanan Balkhy, the World Health Organisation's Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, about navigating the challenges posed by recent conflicts in Sudan and Iran. It's one of six regional WHO offices around the world, covering a total population of nearly 745 million people from Morocco in the west to Pakistan in the east, and as far south as Sudan. The WHO works with governments and local authorities to improve access to basic healthcare and provide support during humanitarian emergencies. Global supply chains were severely disrupted when the conflict in Iran began just over two months ago. Although much of the focus of this disruption has been on oil and trade, crucial medical supplies have also been delayed in reaching where they're needed most.

Welcome to episode #268!

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we sit down with Victoria Barkin, Regional Director of Operations for Home Health at National Church Residences, to talk about what it really means to create a true continuum of care. Too often, care is delivered in silos. But patients don't experience it that way. Victoria shares real-world stories that highlight the gaps that can happen between settings and what it takes operationally and clinically to close them. From navigating complex discharges without an established physician to quickly transitioning a patient to hospice and avoiding an unnecessary hospitalization, this conversation brings the concept of “continuity” to life. We also dig into the role of relationships, both within an organization and across the community, and why having the right connections in place can make all the difference for patients and their caregivers. Whether your organization offers a full continuum of services or relies on trusted partners, this episode explores how home health leaders can better support patients through every stage of care.

Most people buying "clean" supplements are unknowingly loading their bodies with heavy metals, rancid fish oil, and glyphosate, even inside products labeled organic and healthy. This episode breaks down exactly what the supplement industry refuses to tell you and gives you the tools to stop poisoning yourself every morning. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Grab a discount on Puori Products by visiting: https://puori.com/pages/dave?dt_id=1750934 Host Dave Asprey sits down with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, founder and CEO of PUORI and a serial entrepreneur in the health and wellness space with over 16 years building what has become one of the most rigorously tested supplement brands in the world. Oliver opened the first CrossFit gym in Denmark in 2006, served as Regional Director of CrossFit HQ across Europe and the Middle East, holds an Executive Program credential from Stanford, and advises longevity projects including One Thirty Labs in Copenhagen. He founded PUORI in 2009 with a single obsession: creating the cleanest third-party tested fish oil on the market. That obsession grew into a full supplement line built on batch testing every finished consumer product for environmental toxins, a standard the industry has yet to catch up to. Together, Dave and Oliver expose the hidden contamination crisis inside the supplement industry, from oxidized fish oil that creates inflammation instead of fighting it, to plant-based protein powders carrying up to 10 times more heavy metals than whey. They break down why organic does not mean safe, how glyphosate embeds itself directly into your collagen infrastructure and disrupts the body's ability to build healthy connective tissue, and why the omega 3 index is one of the most powerful and measurable longevity biomarkers you are probably ignoring. They also dig into the surprising brain optimization and anti-aging benefits of creatine, including new research on concussion recovery and sleep deprivation, and how foundational supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, and high-quality fish oil remain the non-negotiables that no nootropic stack can replace. You'll Learn: Why organic protein powder often contains more heavy metals than non-organic options How glyphosate infiltrates collagen and gets rebuilt into your body's own tissue What the omega 3 index is, why most Americans are dangerously low, and how raising it correlates with years of additional longevity Why plant-based omega 3s fail to convert to DHA and what to take instead How oxidized fish oil creates inflammation rather than reducing it, and what to look for on the label Why vitamin D deficiency persists even with regular sun exposure and how genetics affect your required dose The creatine research that has longevity doctors and neuroscientists paying attention for the first time How foundational supplements support mitochondria, metabolism, and long-term resilience in ways that trendy biohacking stacks cannot replicate What to look for in a clean supplement brand and why third-party batch testing of finished goods is the only standard that matters Thank you to our sponsors!

Tiffany McQuaid is the Regional Director of Strategy and Performance at SERHANT and author of The INth Degree: How To Stand Out By Going All In. Tiffany's case study looks at how she built a multi-million dollar real estate brokerage in a crowded market through creative community events like a concert series, stone crab festivals, and safari-themed open houses that created brand awareness and meaningful relationships. The results? $22 million in real estate sales in her first year of hosting events and a 400% increase in office foot traffic. In today's episode, Tiffany unpacks the full strategy behind "Rockin' on the Bay" and her broader community creation event playbook —including how she got the first event off the ground with no budget and why experience-based marketing continues to outperform everything else she's tried.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism, hate and extremism through conversations with ADL staff who are living that battle every day. Picture a Thursday afternoon in the suburbs of Detroit. More than 100 young children are in school at their synagogue when a man rams a truck into the front entrance of that building. He drives it through the doors and down the hallway, opens fire with a rifle, and but for the extraordinary heroism of an armed security team, would have committed one of the worst antisemitic massacres in American history.
 That is what happened on March 12, 2026, at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan. One of the largest Reform synagogues in the country, and one of the most beloved Jewish institutions in the Detroit area, became the latest frontline in America's crisis of antisemitism.
 This podcast features Elyssa Schmier, ADL's Regional Director in Michigan, and someone for whom this attack was both part of her professional work, but also devastating on the deepest personal level. She is a congregant of Temple Israel,and her husband's family has worshipped at the synagogue for four generations. She offered very powerful reflections on what happened, the impact on the community and where the community is today. If you wish to donate to help this community in the aftermath of this attack, visit: https://www.temple-israel.org/home.html. This conversation was recorded in March 2026., shortly after the terror incident occurred.

Welcome to episode #262!

Riad Kassis joins Mark Labberton from Beirut as airstrikes continue, 700,000 people have been displaced across Lebanon, and children's toys are visible in the rubble. He leads Langham Partnership and has spent decades serving the church across one of the world's most contested regions. He names the spiritual danger of sanctifying power with religious narrative while insisting peace cannot be forced by violence. "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." In this episode, Kassis reflects on war, displacement, pastoral witness, and hope in God's sovereignty from the middle of Lebanon's crisis. Together they discuss the civilian toll of the war, how religious fundamentalism operates across traditions, the Psalms and Habakkuk as tools for lament, and what American Christians can actually do. Together they ask what it means for the church to hold protest and hope together when cycles of war feel endless and religiously justified. Episode Highlights "It is not an operation. It is a war on Lebanon." "When power—whether political, military, financial, or technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." "When I think that these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition and weapons, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." About Riad Kassis Riad Kassis is a Langham Scholar from Lebanon and is deeply committed to global theological education. He has served as International Director of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE), Regional Director for Overseas Council, as well as visiting professor of Old Testament at The Arab Baptist Theological Seminary and Near East School of Theology in Beirut, and the Dean of the Program for Theological Education by Extension in Syria and Lebanon. Riad obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Economics in Damascus, Syria. He went on to obtain his Master of Divinity from Alliance Biblical Seminary, Manila, Philippines and Master of Theology from Regent College, Canada. Riad received his Doctor of Philosophy in Old Testament as a Langham scholar from The University of Nottingham, UK and his Master of Nonprofit Management from Regis University in Denver, Colorado.

It is a war on Lebanon." 150 airstrikes in 24 hours; 550+ killed, 1,500+ injured, including 85 children 700,000 displaced; 200,000 children; many still on the streets of Beirut Schoolbooks and children's toys found in the rubble Christian village of Alma ordered to evacuate; mayor on television in tears A Catholic priest who stayed to help an injured family was killed in a second strike His wife Izdihar's center for Syrian refugee women and girls shut down; staff now distributing meals, mattresses, medical care in shelters Hoped the war could be avoided—feared it could not "When power—political, military, technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." Iranian author Shiha Dejani, herself a survivor of the Iranian regime: if your vision of liberation comes through destroying innocent lives, it is not freedom you are after Grew up admiring America as a beacon of democracy and discovery; that view has changed "When I think these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." Walter Wink: the dominant religion on the planet is not Christianity, Islam, or Judaism—it is the pervasive faith in violence Preaching Habakkuk two days before this conversation; the cry "how long, O Lord?" as pastoral anchor Psalms of disorientation as communal tools for protest, lament, and stubborn hope Lent and Ramadan overlapping: identifying suffering with Christ's suffering; "after Friday, we will experience an amazing Sunday" 2,000 years of Arab Christian presence in this region—not just survival, but witness and contribution "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." Asks for prayer for the war's end, for political wisdom, for his canceled flight—he is trying to reach his first grandson's dedication Labberton closes in prayer: for restraint of ego-driven leaders, for human dignity, for a peace that is both merciful and just #ConversingWithMarkLabberton #RiadKassis #Lebanon #MiddleEast #Peacebuilding #ChristianWitness #Theology #Habakkuk #LanghamPartnership #WarAndFaith Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.  

  In this episode of Small Biz Florida, host Tom Kindred sits down with Debbie Magyar, Regional Director of the SBDC at the University of North Florida, to discuss the launch of the AI Small Business Institute. Designed to help entrepreneurs cut through the noise around artificial intelligence, the institute provides a structured, hands-on approach to understanding and implementing AI in real-world business settings. Debbie shares how the program was created in response to growing demand and confusion around AI, and why a cohort-based model offers a more effective path than traditional one-on-one consulting. The conversation explores how the institute is tailored for both startups and established businesses, addressing their unique challenges from building a tech stack from scratch to organizing years of existing data. Debbie emphasizes that the program is intentionally built for non-technical business owners, focusing on practical applications, ethical use, and helping participants determine whether AI is truly the right solution for their business needs. The episode also highlights a new AI-powered digital marketing clinic designed to simplify branding and content creation for small businesses.

Send a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. This week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome back Kathy Lu, Regional Director, Trade Sales, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. When Kathy was here over a year ago, she represented a different luxury brand. I am excited to hear from Kathy now about The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. I perused their website, linked below, and RCYC looks marvelous! Kathy Lu previously worked for respectively, Explora Journeys and Crystal Cruises. From her beginnings as an administrative assistant, through promotions into a myriad of roles in strategic partnerships, international sales and marketing, and ultimately as Regional Director, Kathy has formed unique global perspectives and valuable insights into all facets of luxury tourism today. A playful and curious lover of travel who began cruising from a young age, Kathy has spent much of her life exploring the world. Her favorite destinations include Greece, Hungary, and Vietnam and her future-travels wish list includes iconic spots like South Africa, New Zealand, and especially Iceland; a broken ankle, occurring hours after stepping onto the land of fire and ice, cut her holiday short in 2021. Whether at home in Atlanta, in a fine restaurant, at a taco truck, or aboard a luxury ship, Kathy enjoys the foodie life and relishes opportunities to entertain. She loves contemporary art and Scotch whisky that is old enough to order its own drink. She's a friend to all canines, and she loves people, particularly her supportive family in Los Angeles. Kathy holds a bachelor's degree from California State University in Geographical Information Systems with a minor in Business Entrepreneurship.  www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com Do you have a dream car?

Step into Episode 201 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Riley, Director of Pickleball, and Casey, General Manager of Dink & Dine — a brand-new pickleball-anchored eatertainment facility that's rewriting what a night out looks like in the Valley. Four months in and sitting at a 4.9-star rating with over 110 fully organic reviews, this isn't a pickleball gym with a menu tacked on — it's something entirely different.Casey and Riley bring serious depth to this conversation. Casey went from cutting his teeth in Old Town Scottsdale's nightlife prime and graduating Scottsdale Culinary to spending 12 years growing through every level of Main Event — all the way to GM for all three Arizona locations and Regional Director covering Phoenix, Albuquerque, Denver, and Baton Rouge — before landing the opportunity to build something from the ground up with a team of hospitality consultants who asked, "Why don't we just start our own thing?" Riley's road ran through a painful divorce, a transformational pickleball flow state, a coaching company she built from scratch, overseas pickleball yacht trips, the PPA and App Tour, and even designing the world's first floating pickleball court in Croatia — before LinkedIn brought her to a facility she calls the nicest she's ever walked into. Together, they unpack four core values, the kitchen philosophy of Chef Kelly Milani, and why doing both pickleball and food at a truly high level is harder than anyone realizes — and exactly what makes Dink & Dine worth the visit.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:38) Intro: Episode 201, Delo's 52nd Birthday & Welcome to Casey and Smiley Riley(2:39 - 6:14) Casey's Origin: New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, Scottsdale Culinary & Old Town Nightlife(6:15 - 8:10) Main Event to Dink & Dine: 12 Years, Regional Director & The Founding Team(8:11 - 12:33) 4.9 Stars, Organic Reviews, Hospitality Philosophy & Four Core Values(12:34 - 15:23) Riley's Story: From Divorce Court to the Pickleball Court & Finding Flow State(15:24 - 19:15) PPA Tour, Floating Court in Croatia & What It Means to Be Director of Pickleball(19:16 - 20:30) Bridging the Gap: High-Level Pickleball AND High-Level Food — Neither an Afterthought(20:31 - 37:00) Chef Kelly Milani, Kitchen Philosophy, Menu Highlights, Programming & Corporate Events(37:01 - 45:47) Rapid Fire Questions, Best Menu Items & How to Connect with Dink & Dine
