#740 What if the key to breakthrough innovation isn't inventing something new — but seeing value where everyone else sees waste? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Stuart Jenkins, a lifelong athlete turned footwear innovator, to unpack an incredible entrepreneurial journey that blends grit, patience, and purpose. Stuart shares how his background as an Olympic Trials–qualifying marathon runner shaped his mindset for startups, why he believes preparation is everything, and how decades in the footwear industry led him to reimagine massive amounts of discarded foam as high-performance, commercially viable products. From licensing early innovations to Reebok, to helping bring HOKA to life, to building a sustainable footwear brand that transformed industry “waste” into products worn by elite athletes — and even featured on Oprah's Favorite Things — this conversation is a masterclass in innovation, persistence, and seeing opportunity where others see trash! What we discuss with Stuart: + Olympic Trials mindset + 1000:1 preparation principle + Athlete to entrepreneur journey + Footwear innovation origins + Commercializing ideas vs inventing + Turning waste into resources + Sustainability beyond marketing + Building factories from scratch + Rejection, luck, and persistence + Seeing truth before trends Thank you, Stuart!

Kamille learned at a young age that not many businesses were interested in hiring a visually impaired employee. Oh yes, she presented very well on the phone with prospective employers, but when they saw her in person, the rejection came fast.  She didn't even get a chance to prove them wrong.Again, Jackie her mom, didn't treat her blind daughter any differently than her other children. She had to learn the ways of the world at a very young age. Kamille would be the stronger for it. Kamille shared that her mother "NEVER let me use the word "can't," and that she taught her daughter "to advocate for herself."Kamille Richardson was born blind but never lacked a vision for a bright future. An author, motivational speaker, and founder of iSee Technologies, Inc., she has overcome various obstacles to build a life and career she loves. Not only is she an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but she's constantly breaking corporate norms, shattering expectations, and reminding companies that diversity fuels business growth.Here's how Richardson fought against the odds to build her own company—and create more space for inclusion in some of the world's top companies.Raised to Believe in HerselfFrom a young age, Richardson knew she was different—but was raised not to see her disability as a weakness. “My mother never let me use the word ‘can't,'” Richardson recalls. Because her mother taught her to advocate for herself, growing up blind never deterred her dreams.“I was allowed to dream big,” she shares. “I always knew, even when I was younger, that I was going to overcome barriers in the best way I knew how. It wasn't always easy, of course, but I was determined.”Showing Up AuthenticallyWhen Richardson started applying for jobs, she received numerous interview invitations. However, a pattern quickly emerged.“They would see me, and they'd see that white cane in my hand—and the temperature would drop about 20 degrees,” she shares.*She looked great on paper, but once employers realized she was blind, their perception shifted.“Suddenly that warm greeting I got earlier became a cold conversation, and it always ended with the ‘Don't call us, we'll call you,'” she says. “The calls and emails never came.”Tired of rejection, she decided to say yes to herself. “I knew I had the power to hire me,” Richardson explains.*Her determination only grew as she stepped into the business world as a blind, Black entrepreneurial woman.*At first, she believed that fitting into corporate norms was the only way to succeed. “I thought I had to be very corporate, buttoned-up, and wear my power suit,” she admits. “But that's not me. When I tried to show up like that—stiff and stuffy—I wasn't comfortable in my own skin, and the doors still weren't opening.”Only when Richardson embraced her true self did things change.“I showed up with my big curly hair, my big earrings, and my colorful outfits—that's when people started seeing my personality first,” she shares.Building Her Own EmpireA self-described tech-savvy individual, Richardson adapted quickly to e-readers when the iPhone first launched them. Soon after, she founded iSee Technologies with the goal of helping her visually impaired and blind peers regain independence—particularly through employment.But her clients often faced the same rejections she once did.“I said to myself, ‘I need to evolve iSee Technologies to become part of the solution,'” Richardson says. “I decided to use my voice and my platform to go in and teach companies how to be more inclusive in their hiring and workplace culture—so when they see disability, they don't immediately reject it.”Today, iSee Technologies is a thriving business that offers people development consulting, accessibility services, and workforce wellness training to companies and government agencies. Their client list includes The Walt Disney Company, BASF, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Kraft, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Inclusion Is Good for BusinessHiring people from diverse backgrounds and abilities enhances innovation and team performance.“The biggest misconception is that accommodations for people with disabilities are expensive,” Richardson explains. “But 59% of accommodations cost nothing at all—and the other 41% cost less than $500.”Many businesses fail to see the value of disabled employees simply because they don't understand it.“We are some of the most creative and innovative team members you'll ever have,” she says. “We live in a world not designed for us, so we have to be the ultimate problem solvers.”-One of iSee Technologies' corporate clients saw this potential and hired Richardson to conduct training to empower their teams to create more accessible environments. As a result, employees felt more validated and respected—and more committed to their work.“And of course, when you have more engaged employees, that's definitely going to help your bottom line.”  7) Social Media Links/Website:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/kamille.richardson.9INSTAGRAM: @kamillealia,https://www.instagram.com/kamillealia/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/livewithvision/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@lakilaj?lang=en  OTHER: http://www.kamillerichardson.com/WEBSITE: https://www.iseetechinc.com/WEBSITE: https://kamillerichardson.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

This Money Monday Sales Gravy podcast episode is special because it kicks off our 20th season! It's hard to believe that we've been producing the Sales Gravy continuously for 20 years. Over the last 20 years, thanks to you—our incredible audience—we've consistently ranked as the #1 most listened to sales podcast in markets all over the world. I remember my first podcast episode all those years ago, produced with a microphone I bought at Guitar Center and recorded under a blanket for sound suppression. Today, we produce our podcast in professional studios at Sales Gravy and have a full production team on staff to ensure we are giving you the highest quality sound possible.  What hasn't changed is my unwavering focus on making the complex simple by cutting through the noise, eliminating the fluff, and giving you the basics and fundamentals that actually work in the real world. We've got a ton of new episodes and bonus content coming your way, so be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast app and listen every week.  Sales Professionals Must Have Goals to be Successful Your personal goals are the aspirations that drive you, inspire you, and push you through the tough days. These goals are essential to helping you maintain sales discipline throughout your sales year. When developing personal goals, I break them down into three buckets: To-Have Goals These are the things you want to acquire or buy. Whether it's a house, a new car, or building up your savings, to-have goals are about acquiring something that enhances your life. To-Be Goals These are about evolving into the person you want to become. Maybe you want to be a sales manager, or if you're a manager, you want to be a director or VP of sales. You might want to go back to school for a degree or an MBA. Or you want to be a better spouse, a better leader, or a better peer. Maybe you want to be a President's club winner or be recognized as an expert in your industry—whatever it is, to-be goals help you level up as a person and a professional. To-Do Goals These are experience goals. Think about experiences that create lifelong memories—maybe you want to travel somewhere special or take on a meaningful project or hobby you've always dreamed about. Four Reasons Why Goals Matter in Sales Number one, goals massively increase the likelihood that you'll actually achieve the things you want. Speaking your goal out loud, writing it down, and being intentional about it has a powerful psychological effect. Number two, goals make life meaningful. It's unbelievably fulfilling to look back and see what you accomplished—how far you've come over the course of a year, five years, or a decade. Number three, we work in a tough, competitive profession, and it's just plain satisfying to put your commission checks, bonuses, and hard-won earnings toward something that improves your life or the lives of the people you love. But the biggest reason to set goals—especially in sales—is that the sales profession is hard work and it can be brutal.  It's loaded with rejection. At every turn, we face potential “nos,” whether it's prospecting calls, asking for next steps, pushing to level up to a decision-maker, or closing the deal. We even face internal rejection when we try to sell a complex deal internally to our own company or get approval for special pricing. Rejection is everywhere, and the fear of rejection—or avoiding it—is the number one reason salespeople fail to perform. Add to that the grind: making call after call, stuffing data into the CRM, pushing through proposals, handling endless follow-ups, and selling becomes tedious, hard, rejection-dense work. For this reason, it requires discipline to stay on track and keep grinding day after day and month after month over the course of the sales year. But here's the rub: discipline can wane, especially if we're not hyper-focused on a bigger prize. Goals Give You the Discipline to Do the Hard Things I want you to pay attention to this next part because understanding the real definition of discipline is critical.  Discipline is sacrificing what you want now for what you want most. Human nature wants easy. We'd rather that customers call us than have to chase them. We'd rather deals close themselves than invest hours into multi-step follow-ups. We don't want to face that “no.” But success in sales is paid for in advance, with facing rejection and hard work. Therefore, if you don't have a clear, compelling reason—something you want most—it's easy to cave in and take the easy route instead of doing what really needs to be done. This is the reason why having a strong set of personal goals is crucial for sales professionals. You need that powerful “why” to keep grinding when the going gets tough. When the pipeline's not as full as you'd like or you're hitting roadblocks, you need something more important than convenience to drag you back into the fight. A Tactical System for Setting Winning Goals Let's jump into the tactics for actually doing this. If you've gone through any kind of SMART goal-setting course, some of this may sound familiar. But these basics are timeless and indispensable. To set effective goals, you need to ask and answer five basic questions: What Do You Want? Sounds simple, but for a lot of us, it's not. We're so busy scrolling through social media, bingeing on TikTok, or juggling daily distractions that we never pause to ask, “What do I really want from my life?” So step one is to get specific. Define it. When Do You Want It? Because we're talking about next year's personal goals, let's keep them within a 12-month horizon. But any truly effective goal requires a deadline or target date—otherwise, it's just a pipe dream. When you have a hard date, it creates urgency and focus. Is It Attainable? Be honest with yourself. If all your goals are ridiculously ambitious, you'll burn out or give up once it's clear you're not making meaningful progress. Stretch goals are great—big, hairy, audacious goals will push you—but balance those with goals you can realistically achieve. How Bad Do You Want It? This is the ultimate question. If your goal doesn't fire you up, if it's not something you'd move mountains to achieve, you won't push through the tough days. Remember, discipline means sacrificing what you want now for what you want most. If the desire isn't there, the sacrifices won't be made. How Are You Going to Get There? These are your steps to success—your system, your process, your roadmap. As James Clear says in Atomic Habits, you don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems. The idea is simple: if you have a crystal-clear process for what you need to do daily, weekly, and monthly, you'll keep moving toward the goal—even when life gets hectic. This is where your personal business plan and your personal goals intersect. For instance, if your to-do or to-have goal requires additional income—maybe you need a bigger commission check to afford that new pool or a bucket-list vacation—then you have to hit your sales targets. This means building a discipline system that ensures you're prospecting enough, qualifying enough opportunities, following up diligently, and negotiating effectively. Without a system and personal business plan, you are more likely to get random results. Stop Now and Build Your Goal Sheet Sit in silence. Turn off the noise, get away from distractions, and grab a notebook and pen. Write down what you want, when you want it, if it's attainable, how bad you want it, and how you plan to get there. Sketch it all out—just let the ideas flow. Once you've got it all down, build a formal goal sheet. Yes, I'm talking about physically writing it out. There's tremendous power in seeing your goals in black and white, or printing them out and pinning them above your desk. Countless studies show that written goals are far more likely to be realized than goals that just bounce around in your head. This goal sheet is your personal roadmap—put it into your personal business plan so everything stays in one place.

Romans 9:25-29 — In order to help the Jews truly understand the peril they were in, Paul uses the Jewish people's own Scripture to argue against their pride. The Jews were very prideful about the fact that they had the Scriptures, but they were also blinded to the message that was in the Scripture. In Romans 9:25–29, Paul is speaking directly to the Jews about their standing as God's chosen people. In this sermon on Romans 9:25–29 titled “Rejection of the Jews,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones notes that the Jews received promises, but they also received threats. They did not realize that the promises they received from God were conditional and His warnings against them were true, because God's words are always true. The words of the prophets that Paul quotes have both an immediate implication and a remote application. God would indeed carry out destruction on the Jewish people and Paul cries out for them on their behalf. Some Jews thought God would not seek destruction on them because it had been so long, but God does not always act immediately on his warnings. Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds that salvation, to the Jew and the Gentile, is purely the work of God and we are saved by his loving mercy. The Jews should be thankful that even a remnant of them were saved.

2025 didn't break me — it built me.Rejection from 100+ jobs.A relationship that crashed and burned.A cross-country move to start over.Painful? Yes.Pointless? Not even close.This was the year God stripped away what wasn't meant for my next chapter — what didn't belong in my destiny. Refinement looks a lot like loss… until you realize it was actually preparation.And 2026?It won't even recognize the version of me that's on the way.If you know God is calling you higher…If old patterns no longer fit…If you're ready to stop circling the same mountains and break through glass ceilings…✨ The Identity Experience is for you.This 40-day journey is where we do the deep work:• End cycles that keep you stuck• Release identities that no longer serve you• Align with who God designed you to be

In this week's episode  we're talking about why your willingness to hear "no" may be the key to getting more yeses — and living a fuller, braver life. Lori shares a powerful story about Girl Scouts who earned a trip to Greece by selling nearly 6,000 boxes of cookies — and how every "yes" they earned required hearing countless "no's" first. That lesson applies far beyond cookie sales. Drawing on research around psychological flexibility, rejection sensitivity, and growth mindset, this episode breaks down why avoiding rejection shrinks our self-expression — and how learning to tolerate discomfort can unlock more confidence, creativity, and opportunity. If you've ever thought "Wouldn't it be cool if…" and then stopped yourself from trying, this episode is your invitation to stretch just a little further.

How do I stay committed to God when life is unfair? In this new devotion series, Pastor Roderick Webster introduces “The Commitment of Faith”—a set of Bible devotions drawn from Hebrews 11:32 and the life of Jephthah in Judges 11.Many people say they're committed… but when pressure comes, commitment gets tested. In this series we'll walk through Jephthah's story piece by piece—his painful beginnings, rejection, the battles he faced, the choices he made, and what it reveals about faith that keeps going regardless of the cost.Pastor Webster also shares a timely encouragement: living for Jesus is tough, but by God's grace, we can do it one day at a time, trusting His promise to never leave us nor forsake us.In this episode, you'll hear:Why this new series matters right nowWhere Jephthah appears among the “heroes of faith” (Hebrews 11)The background story from Judges 11 (overview reading)A call to keep “living for Jesus” with steady commitment

In this episode, we examine the realities behind universal health care by looking at Canada's system, wait times, medical tourism, and cases where patients are denied life-saving treatment. We discuss the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the economics behind high drug prices, and why “miracle” medications often create new dependencies and unintended costs. We scrutinize airline incivility, declining standards of behavior, and why airlines are reluctant to enforce norms despite growing problems. Phil Magness also joins us to discuss the internal collapse of the Heritage Foundation, the rise of post-liberal conservatism, and the growing influence of figures like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. We explore tensions within the Republican Party, the appeal of emergency powers on both the left and right, the dangers of mixing religion with state authority, and what these trends mean for the future of American politics. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 Canadian Health Care and the Myth of “Free” Medicine 02:38 When Universal Health Care Denies Life-Saving Treatment 04:50 Wait Times, Medical Tourism, and U.S. vs Canada Outcomes 06:16 Ozempic, Wegovy, and the Economics of Weight-Loss Drugs 08:52 Why Expensive Drugs Create Cheaper Alternatives 10:05 Side Effects, Dependency, and the Cost of “Miracle” Drugs 10:36 Airline Incivility and Delta's Class-Based Explanation 12:28 Why Airlines Refuse to Enforce Behavioral Standards 13:52 Why Flying Is Cheaper Than Ever (and Why That Matters) 15:22 Horror Stories From the Skies 18:07 Introducing Phil Magness 19:14 The Implosion of the Heritage Foundation 22:34 Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and the Post-Liberal Right 25:24 Mass Resignations and the Collapse of Heritage's Core 28:52 Post-Liberalism and the Rejection of the American Founding 32:00 Is the Republican Party Fracturing? 34:34 Mike Pence and the Future of Free-Market Conservatism 37:08 The Left and Right's Shared Authoritarian Instincts 39:21 Emergency Powers, Carl Schmitt, and Executive Absolutism 44:06 Why Emergency Government Always Expands 46:58 Christian Nationalism and Catholic Integralism 50:03 Why Religion and State Power Don't Mix 52:12 Who Really Wants Political Power? 54:52 Trump as a Lame-Duck President 55:45 JD Vance, 2028, and Electoral Reality 58:11 Why Both Parties Keep Nominating Losers 01:02:27 Conclusion Learn more about your ad choices.

2025 didn't break you — it refined you. And 2026 isn't asking you to become someone new. It's asking you to come home. In this episode, we explore why the “new year, new you” mindset often leads to burnout and self-sabotage — and why real change doesn't come from urgency, hustle, or fixing yourself. We talk about: Why your body and nervous system respond to safety, not pressure How integration matters more than intensity right now Why so many New Year goals fail — and what actually supports lasting change The difference between reinventing yourself and returning to who you've always been This is the heart behind The Nourished Woman Within — a space where nutrition, movement, energy, faith, and inner child healing come together instead of competing.  If you're in the in-between…no longer who you were, not quite who you're becoming…this episode is for you.

Rejection has a way of sneaking in quietly. A comment, a moment, a season that leaves you wondering if you really belong. In this message, we talk honestly about how rejection shapes us, why it cuts so deep, and how it can leave us living like we're on our own. More importantly, we're invited into healing and reminded that we were never meant to live disconnected or unloved. If you've ever felt overlooked, pushed aside, or tired of striving, this one's for you.

It can be counter intuitive to think that feminists hate women, but when they insist that men and women are equal in every way, what they are really doing is saying women need to become men to be valuable. But God's word teaches that both women and men are made in the image of God and that the differences He created between them glorify Him and reveal aspects of His nature. When feminists want to diminish the role of women in the world, it is because they look on women as being inferior and their roles as being unimportant. And it should be self-evident that over the past hundred years this viewpoint has impacted every aspect of life and culture. It has changed the structure and order of the home, impacted education at every level, restructured work and the workplace, and has shaped the framework of politics and even the laws of most nations. But if we are going to make the claim that feminists hate women, we should ask what does it look like to love women or even more accurately what does it look like to hold women in biblical esteem?Timecodes00:00:00 Intro00:01:18 Biblical Esteem00:13:17 Reject the Natural Blessings00:31:32 The Curse of Barrenness00:40:16 Rejection of Physical Differences00:52:42 Deceiving Like Satan01:00:53 Rebellion Against Roles01:07:49 Take on the Curse of Men01:13:11 The Idolatry of MoneyProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

A Contagious Faith: Why Evangelism Still MattersBefore we ever said “yes” to Jesus, God was already moving. Most of us can look back and spot the moments — conversations, invitations, people, or even frustrations — that later turned out to be seeds He planted. At the time, we might've been uninterested, distracted, or flat-out resistant, but looking back, we can see the Lord was closer than we realized.This message is built around that idea. It begins with an honest look back: moments of being chased by grace, even when the heart wasn't ready. A catechism class taken for the wrong reasons. A conversation with a grandmother that sounded like “Charlie Brown teacher noise.” The jealousy of hearing someone else read the Bible cover to cover. Meeting a woman who confidently introduced herself as “a child of God” — and feeling drawn to whatever she had. One day at a time, seeds were planted. One day at a time, God kept pursuing.It took more than 15 years for all those small moments to take root. Today, four generations of that same family are following Jesus. That's what happens when people plant and water faithfully, and God makes the growth happen (1 Corinthians 3:6-9).That's the heart of evangelism. Not pressure. Not performance. Not being Billy Graham, Todd White, or the most confident person in the room. Scripture reminds us we all have different gifts, personalities, and strengths — but the same God working through us (1 Corinthians 12:4-6). Evangelism isn't “for the outgoing ones,” it's for everyone. Our stories, our kindness, our conversations, our prayers — they all matter.Statistics show that most Christians believe evangelism is important, but fewer actually share their faith. The biggest obstacles are fear of rejection and not feeling trained. But we've all rejected or ignored the gospel at some point, and yet here we are. Rejection doesn't mean failure. Sometimes it just means the soil needs a little more time. A “no” today doesn't mean a “no” forever.Faith can be contagious — like laughter or excitement or joy that spreads without forcing it. When we live with authentic passion for Jesus, people notice. When we're willing to plant seeds and trust God with the process, He moves. Evangelism is less about pushing and more about living in a way that catches on.Jesus made our mission clear: go, make disciples, reach people, and help them follow Him (Matthew 28:18-20). Our faith wasn't meant to be hidden or hoarded. It was meant to be shared.If you want to grow in this, you're invited to join our upcoming Contagious Faith Life Group launching in February. We'll learn how to share Jesus in ways that match our personalities — from friendship-building to acts of service to story-sharing and more. The sign-up sheet is in the foyer, and if it fills up, flip it over and add your name.We're in the people business. Let's start 2026 reaching people who need Him.God bless, and we hope to see you there.

Episode 196 - Testimony Series: From Rejection to Redemption - with Alex Mounir This episode is part of our December Testimony Series. Alex Mounir shares his heartfelt journey of balancing his newfound faith with his acting career. After giving his life to Jesus in April of last year, Alex has been actively praying for his talents to be used for God's kingdom rather than just for secular entertainment. With a disheartening rejection from a faith-based show where he auditioned eight times without success, Alex almost gave up on acting. He narrates how his prayers were answered in unexpected ways and he received a last-minute opportunity to star in a film, as the exact same character he had wanted to play so badly in the other show . Alex emphasizes the importance of using one's talents for Jesus and prioritizing faith over career.Bio: Alex Mounir is a rising screen actor boldly making his mark in faith-based film. He stars as Jacob in the upcoming feature Jacob and Rachel, set to release on Apple TV and Prime Video. Known for his emotional depth and natural on-screen presence, Alex brings a raw, heartfelt authenticity to every role he steps into. Beyond acting, his mission is clear: to honor Jesus with his craft and tell stories that move people toward truth, hope, and redemption. With passion, purpose, and an unshakable love for the Lord, Alex is just getting started.https://www.alexmounir.com/https://www.instagram.com/alex.mounir/FAFF Association Online Meetups: https://faffassociation.com/#faff-meetingsVIP Producers Mentorship Program https://www.faffassociation.com/vip-producers-mentorship Jaclyn's Book - In the Beginning, Middle and End: A Screenwriter's Observations of LIfe, Character, and God: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9R7XS9VThe Faith & Family Filmmakers podcast helps filmmakers who share a Christian worldview stay in touch, informed, and inspired.

Rejection hits some men harder than others. For a lot of guys, it's not just discomfort—it feels like danger. One cold look from your wife. One delayed text. One “Can we talk later?” from your boss. Suddenly you're spiraling, apologizing, chasing, overreacting, or completely shutting down.This isn't weakness. It isn't you being dramatic.It's rejection sensitivity—and most men who grew up in chaotic, unpredictable, or emotionally unstable homes are living with it without ever knowing what it's called.In this episode, I'll break down:— Why some men live relationships on “hard mode” — How your childhood wired your brain to scan for danger — Why neutral things feel like personal attacks — Why you over-apologize, over-explain, and overreact — How rejection sensitivity contributes to sexless marriages — Why anxious men attract avoidant or narcissistic partners — And, most importantly, what you can do to rewire thisIf you're neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, etc.), this is going to make even more sense. RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) is something I see constantly in men in my audience and inside The Brotherhood.You're not broken. You're trained. And you can retrain yourself.If you want deeper work on this, my book REBUILD and our Brotherhood community are powerful tools to help you break out of this pattern and build confidence, boundaries, and emotional stability.► Get my book REBUILD on Amazon (hardcover, Kindle, or audiobook for members): https://a.co/d/e6KBqYE► Join The Brotherhood – private men's community, daily Zoom groups, 1,300+ hours of audio, coaching, and more: https://helpformen.com/join

Auditions take on a new clarity as John Corella shows how dancers can stay grounded, choose an outfit that supports their presence, rely on their 3 tricks, and move through the journey with steadier confidence.   John talks openly about the pressure dancers feel and the emotional weight parents carry. It raises important questions. What helps someone stay centered in a room full of nerves? How does a dancer build confidence when the result is out of their hands? He explains why courage grows in spaces where dancers can try, fail, and continue without shame. He also breaks down what teachers actually notice, from focus and kindness to an outfit that helps them remember you. His take on improv feels especially helpful. The 3 tricks approach gives dancers something reliable to lean on when the moment feels unpredictable.   Listeners will leave with a clearer sense of the audition journey and the mindset that helps a dancer stay steady through every high and low.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Dance and Auditions 03:03 Navigating the Audition Process 05:52 Preparing for Auditions: Tips and Tricks 08:46 The Importance of Presentation and Focus 12:10 Understanding the Audition Environment 15:10 Improv and Showcasing Your Strengths 18:04 Coping with Rejection and Disappointment 20:57 Post-Audition Reflections and Growth 23:50 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode, Coach JC shares with you why HUMILITY WINS in leadership. The person who gets the most no's wins! YES is the destination… but NO is how you get there.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Sign up for FREE COACHING with Alli – https://alliworthington.com/freecoaching    Today, I want to share Chapter 4 of Fierce Faith: "What If They Don't Like Me?" I open up about my own rejection stories and the everyday ways fear of rejection shapes our choices. It's a fear we rarely talk about, but it shadows much of what we do.   Think about it—whether we post that picture we're proud of, share a new dream with our spouse, or open up to a new friend, fear is right there, whispering doubts. And most of us don't even realize how much power we've handed it.   My prayer is that this chapter helps you recognize and release the fear of rejection, so you can step into 2026 with hope, holy confidence, and courage, embracing your authentic self.   Timestamps: (06:13) - How Rejection Steals Our Joy (and Why We Don't Notice It Happening) (10:35) - Everyday Rejections: The Subtle Moments That Shape Our Confidence (16:29) - The Ultimate Rejection (21:06) - A Battle Plan to Fight the Fear of Rejection with Strength and Clarity (25:20) -How to Recover When We Feel Rejected and Come Back Stronger WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind The Uplift app is here!

What if your biggest growth bottleneck isn't your strategy, your funnel, or your offer—but how you communicate your ideas?In this episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson welcomes longtime friend and world-class communicator Hannah Kim—a classically trained opera singer turned TEDx speaker, event curator, and founder of Purpose Speaking.Hannah shares her unconventional journey from music school to entrepreneurship, challenging the “starving artist” narrative and building a profitable, purpose-driven career around communication. Together, they explore why experience alone doesn't make someone a great speaker, how rejection builds confidence, and why preparation—not talent—is the real antidote to stage fear.They also dive deep into the TEDx world: what organizers actually look for, why most applications fail, and how to structure an idea that solves a real problem. Hannah reveals practical tools—including pacing, presence, and reframing rejection—that anyone can use to instantly elevate their communication, whether on stage, on camera, or in business conversations.This episode is a masterclass in visibility, confidence, and turning your message into real-world impact. Key TakeawaysWhy comfort on stage doesn't equal excellence—and how training closes the gapHow artists and entrepreneurs can break free from inherited “scarcity” narrativesThe real purpose of a TEDx talk (and why motivation alone isn't enough)How rejection can be reframed into confidence and momentumWhy pacing, presence, and preparation matter more than charismaHow elite communicators structure ideas that actually landWhat it really takes to move from “good” to top 1% communicationChapters00:00 Welcome to BizNinja + Hannah Kim's Journey02:50 From Opera Singer to Entrepreneur & Speaker05:45 Breaking the Starving Artist Narrative08:00 Mentorship, Training, and the Cost of Growth10:40 Inside the TEDx World: Speaker vs Organizer14:00 What Makes Top 1% Communicators Different17:30 Rejection, Confidence, and Stage Presence20:15 Music, Meaning, and Human Transformation23:30 Creativity, Culture, and Personal Balance25:00 Building the Future: AI, Accessibility & Purpose27:10 Where to Learn More + Final Takeaways

Eric Immesberger spent over 20 years as a New York ATF agent, working undercover, taking down violent criminals, dismantling gun-trafficking networks, and operating inside some of the most dangerous environments in the country. In this episode, Eric shares the real stories behind his career—from his early years as a Brooklyn detective to high-risk federal operations, major crime investigations, and the intense pressure of hunting armed offenders in New York. He opens up about the violence he witnessed, the criminals he pursued, the psychological toll of undercover work, and the personal sacrifices required to do the job. This interview dives deep into the realities of federal law enforcement: firearms trafficking, gang cases, task-force operations, trauma, mental health, and life after retirement. If you're interested in true crime, federal agents, New York law enforcement, or raw stories of danger, survival, and justice, this is one of the most revealing conversations you'll hear. _____________________________________________ #ATFAgent #FederalAgent #LawEnforcementStories #CrimeInterview #UndercoverOperations #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeSystem #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

I'm sure you've already made dozens of judgments today about yourself and other people and people have already judged you about what you're wearing or how you're acting or what music you're playing. Heck, you've probably judged this podcast! That's because that's what humans do. We judge. We are meaning-making machines! In this episode, you'll discover that judging people and being judged is a part of the human experience and the most effective way to eliminate the fear of being judged is to accept it. I provide some key questions to ask yourself surrounding fears of abandonment and rejection that you won't want to miss if you want to start living a fuller and more freedom-filled life. In this episode I discuss:Abandonment and Rejection—the two biggest fears we haveHow to get over people judging you for goodAre you judging yourself on externals? If so you'll never be happy. Do this instead! Questions to ask yourself to finally eliminate the fear of judgment and rejection

It's been a while since we dropped a solo episode, and today I'm sharing something personal, vulnerable, and—honestly—encouraging. Because even after twenty years of living with ADHD and five years of deep healing work, rejection sensitivity still shows up for me. The difference now? I know how to support myself through it.In this episode, I share an update on my book (spoiler: I'm almost done writing!), answer a listener voicemail, share a helpful resource, and then take you behind the scenes of a recent rejection-sensitivity spiral that almost kept me from attending (and speaking at!) the CHADD conference. I walk you through exactly how I navigated the emotional storm—step by step—so I could do the work I'm meant to do.This isn't a story about never feeling big feelings again. It's a story about what becomes possible when we learn to move through them with skill, compassion, and self-trust.If you've ever wondered whether you'll “grow out of” rejection sensitivity or if you'll always be derailed by it, this episode is a reassuring reminder: RS may not disappear, but your capacity to handle it absolutely can grow.Brick Code: https://www.getbrick.app/KRISTEN37887Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Ernesto Araujo and Alejandro Pena Esclusa analyze Latin America's rightward shift, citing Chile's rejection of a leftist constitution and election disputes in Honduras. They attribute leftist defeats to the failure of socialism and credit the "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine for encouraging democratic changes against regional narco-regimes.
