Send a textRejection isn't personal.It's an opinion. And it has a number.In this episode, I'm breaking down a powerful idea from Jia Jiang's book Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection.Most of us treat rejection like a verdict on our worth.It isn't.And in this episode, I'll explain why people respond the way they do—what their “no” is actually based on—and the surprising truth behind rejection that most people never realize:It usually has nothing to do with you.So when someone says “no,” the real question becomes: how do you handle it?Do you rush into the ask just to get rejection out of the way? Or do you stay curious, confident, and creative enough to work through it?Because rejection isn't universal.Not everyone will say no.You just have to keep asking until you find the one who says yes.In this episode, you'll learn how to see rejection through a completely different lens—and why understanding this shift can change how you ask, how you sell, and how you pursue what you want in life.Support the show

Let's get real, nobody likes hearing the word "No." It stings, it's frustrating, and it can make you want to give up on your biggest dreams. But what if "No" wasn't the end of the road? What if it was actually the fuel for your greatest victory?

My Guest: Jamie Siminoff is the founder of Ring, which he sold to Amazon for over a billion dollars. He's an inventor and builder who couldn't hear his doorbell while working in his garage, so he built a video doorbell. When his wife said it made her feel safer, he realized technology had changed, and home security needed a complete reinvention. Ring became the world's largest home security company with a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Key Learnings  Jeff Bezos reads and writes his own stuff. When Jamie asked Jeff to write something for the book's back cover, Jeff actually read it and wanted his own curated quote that was from him. Jeff loves entrepreneurs, so they kept him out of negotiations. After the Whole Foods deal, Amazon learned to keep Jeff out of negotiations because he finds it tough to negotiate hard with someone he respects. Hardware companies can die while growing fast. Ring grew from $3M to $30M to $174M to $480M, which sounds amazing. But to go from $170M to $480M, you're buying hundreds of millions of dollars of product when you're selling less than that. If sales growth slows, you're basically going out of business. Going from $480M to over a billion in revenue was like being on a motorcycle at 200 miles an hour. If a leaf falls down and hits you, you're dead. At Amazon, when Ring said, "We need another billion dollars to order stuff for next year," Amazon said, "Okay, what else do you want?" There are different types of entrepreneurs. Jamie is an inventor/entrepreneur. There are business entrepreneurs who are maniacal business people we've never heard of that have just crushed it. Jamie is maniacal on product and brings invention into how they run the company. Hire marathon runners. Marathons are the dumbest thing any human could ever do. Even if you win, no one cares. Jamie finished the Boston Marathon in 22,000th place and he's so proud of himself. You want people that don't care about external validation; they just care about getting the mission done. AI has democratized all information. With AI making it so you don't even need to know C++ programming anymore, fill your business with passionate people who care about the mission and they'll crush anything. When building your team, start with the mission. Jamie tells people, "Our mission is to make neighborhoods safer. Do you want to work on making neighborhoods safer? Because if you don't, you're going to be miserable here. You're going to hear it every day, and you're going to roll your eyes."  Referrals work because people don't want to let you down. The best hires are when someone's referred by someone (uncle, friend, whatever) because they feel guilty. They don't want to let the person who referred them down. Find an infinite truth to work on. Amazon's core principles are infinite: Will customers always want lower price, more selection, and faster delivery? Yes. If you deliver in 30 minutes, they'll want it in 10 minutes. Making neighborhoods safer is an infinite thing to work on. Your wife saying one thing can change everything. Jamie built a video doorbell so he could hear the door from his garage. His wife said, "It makes me feel safer at home." That's when he realized technology had changed and home security needed a whole new approach. The hard part is bringing the infinite down to the tactical. When you have an infinite mission, you can get overwhelmed trying to solve it all at once. You have to figure out what to do every single day to work toward that infinite goal. Shark Tank was a disaster that turned into everything. Jamie went on Shark Tank desperately needing money. He got zero offers and cried in his car after. But when it aired, the boost in sales gave them cash to hire people and build Ring, which started the clock on their success. Sometimes you can't stop because you're in too deep. After Shark Tank bombed, Jamie couldn't back out. He'd already ordered too many products and owed too much money. He'd be personally bankrupt if he stopped. People think he's tough for keeping going, but he didn't have a choice. Being naive is a superpower. Great inventions are things people say can't happen because if they could happen, they'd already be out there. You have to be naive enough to say "I think I can do this" or "I don't even know that I can't." People said you couldn't build a battery-operated camera on WiFi. Jamie had never built anything before, so what did he know? They just went out and tried to put some parts together that seemed like they would work. Knowing too much gets in the way of doing the work. If you're thinking and analyzing the whole world, that's time you're not inventing, building, making calls. When are you actually doing the work? The Ring.com domain negotiation was survival. The owner originally wanted $750K for the domain. Jamie had $178K in the bank on the day he was supposed to pay. He called and said "My board said I can't do the deal, but they approved $175K today and $1M total over two years." The guy hung up, called back, and said fine. There was no board, it was just Jamie.  The stress internalized and destroyed him. Jamie wasn't sleeping and was super stressed. There are different types of entrepreneurs: some can handle that stress and sleep like a baby. Jamie internalized it, and it affected him terribly. Be transparent at home. Jamie's son was six years old and knew where the business was. His kindergarten teacher would say, "I hear the business isn't going well." They just had open, adult conversations about everything. Work-life integration, not balance. Jamie integrated work, life, and family together. His son came with him to pick up the first DoorBot in China. Oliver has been to 40 countries and almost every state because he traveled to every meeting. Bring your kid to the meeting. People asked, "How do you bring your kid to a meeting?" Jamie said, "Who do you think they're gonna remember more?" We're always scared to be different. Follow your passion, but make money when you need to. It's hard to see anyone who's achieved greatness who didn't do what they loved. But there are times you have to work your ass off to make money (Jamie was a bellhop and valet parking cars). When you set out to do something, do something you care about. If you fail trying to make money, that really sucks. If you fail trying to do something you love, at least you tried to do something you love. If Ring fails, they try to make neighborhoods safer. That's noble. You can tell who's successful by how fast they respond. It's a weird flip-flop of what it should be. You'd think a successful person should respond in a month, but the people running at the highest levels are actually very efficient. There's something about it. First principles thinking eliminates recurring meetings. There's no way every single Monday at 9 AM you have something important to talk about. The world can't exist like that. Meet when you need to do something, not on some cadence. Hire the best and let them work. Get the best quarterback, best kicker, best coach. Let them work together, let them practice, have the plays. You don't need to get together every day to talk about how you're feeling. No standing meetings, zero recurring one-on-ones. Jamie doesn't have a standing meeting with his team in any cadence. He talks to people all day long, all night long, Sundays, but it's event-based. "We have to get sales up on this, where are the issues?" If you're not doing your job, we'll fire you. Service to others is the best thing you can do. A year from now, Jamie would be celebrating something on the charitable side. Probably something with their work in South Central LA with LAPD, or at their 75-acre farm in Missouri helping the town that's been impacted by opioids and industrial farming.

In Matthew 9 and 10, we see a turning point in Messiah's ministry. The religious leadership has formally rejected Him, but the mission does not stop. It expands. Jesus looks at the multitudes and sees people weary and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. Though the nation's leaders have rejected Him, His compassion has not diminished. The harvest is still plentiful. So what does He do? He builds a new leadership core. Jesus calls His twelve disciples — men who are not yet corrupted by the religious system — and He empowers them. He gives them authority over demons, authority to heal, and authority to proclaim the Kingdom of God. He not only gives them the message, He gives them the power to authenticate the message. He selects the right men. He empowers them. He instructs them. He mobilizes them. He prepares them for opposition. This section shows us a powerful principle: Rejection does not stop God's program. It advances it. Though Israel as a nation is moving toward judgment, the groundwork is being laid for something greater — the eventual expansion of the gospel beyond Israel and the formation of the Church. When the system rejects truth, God raises up new vessels. When leaders fail, God builds a remnant. When doors close, the mission advances. The King was rejected — but the Kingdom mission continues. Watch as we walk verse by verse through this strategic shift in Messiah's ministry and uncover what it means for us today. #Matthew9 #Matthew10 #KingdomOfGod #BibleTeaching #Prophecy #GreatCommission #JesusSends #ChurchAge #Dispensational #EndTimes

Unfortunately, in this world, we will have trouble that brings up a lot of trauma, abandonment, and rejection. In celebrate recovery we are about facing those past traumatic wounds. But what happens when we avoid all of that and how does it shape our present in future when left unresolved? How does facing the pain of our past impact our present and our future? In this part 1 episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will lean into some things to be aware of and how it shapes our belief system, our choices, and how we interact with the world, ourselves, and God. What are the healing benefits of facing the pain of our past?

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: Dr. Dawn demonstrates how to critically read a science paper using a widely-publicized study claiming adolescent cannabis use causes psychotic, bipolar, and anxiety disorders. She identifies multiple methodological problems: only 5.7% of Kaiser adolescents admitted cannabis use versus 11.2% in anonymous national surveys, suggesting massive underreporting; the study conflates any use with heavy use; and with 463,000 participants, trivially small differences become statistically significant but clinically meaningless. She proposes reverse causation—that prodromal schizophrenia symptoms may drive teens to self-medicate with cannabis rather than cannabis causing psychosis. The study also included "disruptive behavior disorder" diagnoses that lack rigorous criteria, and she notes diagnostic codes are sometimes chosen for insurance reimbursement rather than accuracy. While acknowledging high-dose THC before age 16 may affect brain development, she concludes the headlines claiming causation are not supported by the actual findings. Dr. Dawn discusses how aquaculture—now producing 60% of fish consumed globally—has become a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. More antibiotics per kilogram are used in fish farming than in any other animal agriculture, with drugs dissolving into water and sediment where bacteria develop resistance. One study found antibiotic-resistant bacteria in over 80% of shrimp species tested across multiple countries. Through horizontal gene transfer, these resistance genes spread to human pathogens—a 1991 Latin American cholera outbreak affecting nearly a million people may have acquired drug resistance from Ecuadorian shrimp farms. Dr. Dawn reports that the FDA rejected Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine application without even reviewing it, despite trials of 41,000 people showing it was 27% more effective at preventing illness and 29% more effective at preventing hospitalization than existing vaccines. She attributes this to politicized anti-mRNA bias lacking scientific basis, noting that venture capital investors like Blackstone (who invested $750 million) will now avoid vaccine development, effectively handing this critical technology to other countries. Dr. Dawn describes the "wellness industrial complex"—pharmaceuticals, tech, testing companies, and health influencers creating content that pathologizes normal behaviors. YouTube health videos have amassed 200 billion views, and 30% of British respondents now get medical advice from AI chatbots. She cites a 400% increase in British adults seeking ADHD diagnoses, noting that analysis of top TikTok ADHD videos found less than 50% accurately reflected actual symptoms. Many influencers receive undisclosed payments to mention products, and the U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries allowing direct-to-consumer drug advertising. A caller asks about navigating Medicare after their Advantage plan was terminated with no local providers accepting remaining plans. Dr. Dawn explains that Medicare Advantage companies took extra government payments meant for wellness programs but didn't build them, and are now exiting markets as costs rise. She recommends contacting Gray Bears or AARP for free Medicare navigation assistance and suggests exploring regular Medicare with a secondary plan or direct-pay practices. /li>

Have you ever felt rejected? From a job… A relationship… A team… Even your own family? Rejection can leave deep wounds in our hearts. But the Gospel reminds us of a powerful truth: “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” Your past does not define you. Your worst day does not define you. You are a son or daughter of God, loved and chosen by Him. Watch today's reflection in Rise Up – Day 17 and remember who you truly are. #RiseUp #Lent #Catholic #ChildOfGod #Faith #CatholicFaith #DailyGospel #ChristianHope

Rejection is one of the biggest confidence killers in sales—but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Ray Higdon explains how to stay confident after rejection and why most salespeople take rejection far too personally. The truth is, rejection is not a sign that you are failing—it is a normal part of growth, success, and mastery. Ray shares powerful perspective shifts that instantly remove the emotional sting of rejection, including why top authors, actors, and entrepreneurs faced massive rejection before succeeding. You will also learn how detaching from outcomes, focusing on activity, and reframing rejection as progress can dramatically increase your confidence and consistency. —  

Rejection Is Sneaky (And It's Quietly Running Your Leadership) Rejection doesn't always look like hurt feelings. In leadership, it often shows up as a nervous system spike that makes you do something—fast: shrink, over-explain, over-function, avoid, or go sharp. In this episode, I break down the five rejection-response patterns I see most in high-capacity leaders—and the hidden cost when they run the room. If you've ever walked out of a meeting thinking, Why didn't I say what I meant? or Why do I keep playing small when I know better? — You'll feel seen here. In this episode, you'll learn The 5 rejection responses (and how they disguise themselves as “leadership style”) The real cost: lost authority, blurred boundaries, and a team that mirrors your signal How to spot your personal rejection loop early—before it hijacks your decisions and communication About Kc Kc Rossi, PCC, is an Integrative Leadership Coach supporting high-performing, mission-driven leaders to regulate stress, strengthen self-trust, and lead with embodied calm—without living in overdrive.

In this episode, we discuss… What science really is, both as body of knowledge and a constantly evolving process  Why one study is never enough and the importance of multiple methods, reproducibility, and scientific consensus over time When "gold standard" research falls short and why fields like nutrition require more flexible, creative approaches Science's built-in caution and how new ideas face a high bar of proof, slowing acceptance but strengthening reliability How doubt is manufactured, from the tobacco era to climate science, using fringe voices to challenge strong consensus The role of ideology, and how "freedom" narratives can shape public resistance to scientific evidence Acting without certainty and why we must make public health decisions even when data isn't 100% complete AI and misinformation and the promise and risk of tools like OpenAI in shaping how we consume science Naomi Oreskes Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences ON LEAVE SPRING 2026 emailoreskes@fas.harvard.edu Faculty Assistant: Yaz Alfata Primary Areas of Research: Agnotology; the Political Economy of Scientific Knowledge; History and Philosophy of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Science and Technology Studies (STS); the History of Climate Change Disinformation Secondary Areas of Interest: Science Policy, Science and Religion, Women and Gender Studies   Naomi Oreskes is Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University.

Executive producer and creative entrepreneur Diane Strand joins me to unpack a question most operators overlook: What if the arts teach the exact skills leaders need to survive volatility?We talk about discipline, rejection, resilience, visibility, and why creatives may be better prepared for uncertainty than most executives realize. From auditions and rehearsals to launching seven- and eight-figure ventures, Diane makes the case that the arts don't just produce performers—they produce entrepreneurs.Most corporate environments reward stability and caution. The arts reward iteration, discomfort, and persistence. That tension is the heart of this conversation.We explore why artists must become “creativepreneurs,” how passion evolves into purpose—and then into profit—and why the discipline learned on stage often translates directly into leadership, influence, and business growth.This isn't a romanticized view of creativity. It's a pragmatic look at how rehearsal, rejection, and reinvention create durable operators.TL;DR* The arts teach resilience through repetition and rejection.* Rehearsal discipline mirrors business preparation.* Passion without business structure stalls.* Visibility is a skill, not luck.* Start before you're ready. Momentum creates clarity.* There is no real “backup plan”—only commitment.* Creative skills are leadership skills.Memorable Lines* “Start before you're ready.”* “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.”* “Passion becomes purpose. Purpose becomes profit.”* “Leadership doesn't get easier—it becomes more public.”* “If you want something done, find a theater kid.”GuestDiane Strand — Executive Producer, Serial Entrepreneur, Author, and FounderFounder of JDS Studio, video producer, acting coach, nonprofit leader, and advocate for arts-based entrepreneurship.Diane works at the intersection of creativity and commerce—helping artists, executives, and founders become more visible, more disciplined, and more intentional about building sustainable careers.Why This MattersThe modern economy doesn't reward rigidity. It rewards adaptability.Rejection cycles aren't unique to actors. Founders pitch and get rejected. Consultants propose and get ignored. Leaders cast vision and face resistance. The rehearsal process of the arts mirrors the repetition required in business.For founders, operators, and executives rebuilding after setbacks, this episode reframes creativity as operational leverage.The skill is not talent.The skill is disciplined persistence under uncertainty.

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the progressive view of government before introducing Ronald J. Pestritto. The United States Constitution was designed to secure the natural rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. Signed by Constitutional Convention delegates on September 17, 1787—Constitution Day—it was ratified by the American people and remains the most enduring and successful constitution in history. In this twelve-lecture course, students will examine the political theory of the American Founding and subsequent challenges to that theory throughout American history. Topics covered in this course include: the natural rights theory of the Founding, the meaning of the Declaration and the Constitution, the crisis of the Civil War, the Progressive rejection of the Founding, and the nature and form of modern liberalism. Progressives rejected the timeless principles of the American Founding and instead argued that the ends of government ought to be relative to historical circumstances. They viewed the Constitution as a “living” document, which could be transformed to meet the exigencies of the modern age.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The FDA is dominating the headlines once again thisweek.  Days after FDA Commissioner Marty Makary appeared to question uniQure's gene therapy candidate for Huntington's disease, the company revealed that the agency will require it to conduct a randomized, double-blind, sham surgery–controlled Phase 3 study. The FDA also published anothercomplete response letter (CRL), this one for REGENXBIO's gene therapy for Hunter syndrome. The rejection, sustained by the biotech early last month, was driven by issues with the study's population, controls and use of surrogate markers to measure efficacy, according to the document.  Meanwhile, regulatory experts have expressed concernsthat the FDA's circle of trust is shrinking, making many decisions feel like “fiat”—both in terms of individual drug applications and policy. The FDA has reportedly initiated a probe into complaints that a toxic workplace is fostered by CBER director Vinay Prasad, who is at the heart of many of these decisions. Finally, the biopharma industry continues to react to the agency's pivot from a requirement of two pivotal trials to one for approval, asking why now, what are the risks and what exactly the FDA expects from this one trial.   Still on the gene therapy front, Sarepta Therapeutics CEO Doug Ingram stepped down last week to spend more time with family as the company's muscular dystrophy mission hits home. Also during the company's fourth quarter earnings call, Sarepta projected that sales of its embattled Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene therapy Elevidys will be flat or down as far as 15% in 2026.  On the obesity front, Eli Lilly topped Novo Nordisk again in a weight loss trial, this time in a Lilly-sponsored study of patients with type 2 diabetes. But don't count Novo out yet. The company is actively seeking out new obesity assets, according to business development executive Tamara Darsow. Just last week, Novo linked with Boston'sVivtex to advance novel weight loss pills.Finally, check out BioPham Executive this week for a rundown of 2025's top-selling assets—spoiler: Merck's Keytruda held onto its crown as number one—and a story on former2seventy exec Chip Baird's new role as CEO of recently launched Poplar Therapeutics, which secured a $45 million series A extension this week.

Yes, I Twisted My Ankle. Yes, I Peed a Little Patricia Young (she/her) explores how change— even neutral change — can feel dysregulating, especially for autistic and neurodivergent people. From shifting family schedules and unexpected travel changes to navigating awkward neighbor dynamics and social gray areas, she shares real-life examples of practicing flexibility instead of binary thinking. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·       Why neutral change can still feel deeply dysregulating ·       The nervous system impact of shifting routines ·       Family schedule changes and the emotional whiplash that can follow ·       Anticipating the worst when others are gone ·       Grumbly thinking vs. reality when loved ones return ·       The binary autistic brain: all-or-nothing thinking patterns ·       Practicing middle ground instead of rigidity ·       Adjusting dog-walking routines without spiraling ·       Letting your body rest without labeling it as failure ·       Listening to fatigue cues after high-output days ·       Using structure for regulation without becoming trapped by it ·       Creating supportive environments (like curating a digital photo frame) ·       Finding connection through shared routines (AquaFit, food, walking dogs) ·       Traveling compatibility and how that reveals relational ease ·       Learning to self-regulate instead of outsourcing emotional regulation ·       Missing daily co-regulation but recognizing growth ·       Letting go of shame around aging-body moments (the sneeze/cough reality) ·       Neighbor conflict and not over-personalizing hostility ·       Rejection sensitivity and the meaning we attach to social behavior ·       Practicing social gray areas: cordial vs. friend vs. enemy SOUND BITES  · "Change isn't good or bad. But it can still be hard." · "Just because I feel grumbly doesn't mean that's the truth." · "It doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a middle ground." · "It's not a failure to rest. It's listening to my body."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com LINKS  To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select "listen on Apple Podcasts" chose "open in itunes" choose "ratings and reviews" click to rate the number of starts click "write a review" Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com  

What does success really look like when you strip away perfection, comparison, and external validation? In this powerful conversation, Actor Ryan Robbins shares the journey behind his evolution from experiencing homelessness to building an award-winning career in Hollywood and how redefining success changed everything. Together, we unpack the pressure of comparison, the danger of bringing a “dark cloud” into the room, and why letting go of perfection may be the most freeing move you can make in both life and career.Ryan opens up about resilience, rejection in the entertainment industry, fatherhood, identity, and the small daily wins that build real momentum. From making knives for his characters as “Easter eggs” of personal meaning to embracing reinvention at every stage of life, this episode challenges you to rethink what achievement truly means. You'll walk away seeing success not as a destination, but as a daily practice rooted in curiosity, presence, and the courage to keep evolving.Want to start your own podcast, grow your show, or get featured as a guest? Let's map it out together.

Send a textWhy would someone hire an apostille agent when they could “just send the paperwork themselves”?That question sits at the heart of this episode.In this conversation, I sit down with Judi Lawrence — widely known as the “Queen of Apostilles” — to unpack what clients are really paying for when they hire a professional apostille agent.Most beginners think apostille services are about knowing where to send documents. But as you'll hear in this episode, the real value goes far deeper than mailing paperwork to the Secretary of State.We discuss:• The emotional state of most apostille clients (confusion, urgency, deadline pressure) • Why rejection avoidance is one of the most important professional skills • What happens behind the scenes in a properly handled apostille job • Why “just call the Secretary of State” is not a business model • The difference between being a document runner and a professional facilitator • How time and opportunity cost impact profitability • Why pricing cannot be copied from Facebook groups • What “the market bears” really means in your state • Why developing strong notary skills is non-negotiableIf you're searching for apostille training, wondering how to become an apostille agent, or struggling to price your apostille services confidently, this episode will give you clarity.You'll hear why:Apostilles are not “toothpaste.” Every job is different. Time is your most valuable asset. And professionalism is what commands higher fees.We also talk about one of the biggest mistakes new apostille agents make — underestimating their indirect costs. Communication time. Research. Travel. Rejection prevention. Timeline management. These are the hidden components that separate profitable businesses from burned-out operators.If you want to build a sustainable apostille business instead of guessing at fees or underpricing your services, this conversation will help you think like a professional.Because clients aren't paying for a stamp.They're paying for certainty.They're paying for someone who understands the process deeply enough to carry the weight for them.If this episode resonates and you're ready to go deeper into apostille workflow, Hague vs. non-Hague countries, rejection prevention, structured pricing, and building a real apostille revenue stream, explore the World of Apostilles training inside High Performance Notary.Learn more at: NotaryCoach.com/apostille  Skool.com/notaryIf you found value in this episode, share it with another notary entrepreneur and leave a review — it helps us reach more professionals who want to elevate the standard of this industry.

2 Chronicles chapter 36 brings the history of Judah to a sobering close. After a series of unfaithful kings ignore God's warnings through the prophets, Jerusalem falls to Babylon, the temple is burned, and the people are taken into exile. The chapter makes clear that this devastation was not sudden—it followed repeated rejection of God's mercy and instruction. Yet even in judgment, hope remains. The book ends with the decree of King Cyrus of Persia, who calls for the rebuilding of the house of the Lord, showing that God's plans for restoration are never cancelled. Discipline may come, but God's promises still stand.

Genesis 16 teaches us this: Even when you're in a place you never asked to be, God will meet you there. Rejection is not your ending. The God who sees you is bigger than what sent you away. The enemy tried to use your past to teach you not to trust — but God is about to show you He was always greater than what hurt you.

Erin's parents didn't put pressure on her to get perfect grades or go to Harvard; they wanted her to use her privilege and beautiful upbringing to make the world a better place. Youngest child syndrome makes you quick. Being the youngest of six, Erin learned to speak very quickly to get her thoughts in at the dinner table, and she was given unsolicited advice her whole childhood (which is why she loves giving advice now). Your siblings' sole job is to keep you grounded. Erin's parents are proud and supportive, but her siblings roast her and beat her down (all in good fun) to keep her as humble as possible. Success is attributed to a sense of humor. Erin gave career advice that was funny, and nobody had ever really seen that before. You don't get that unless you're the slightly bullied youngest of six kids your entire life. Rejection rage is a choice. At a Women in Film networking event, the head of the organization paused Erin's documentary trailer 30 seconds in and said, "You need to be more realistic." Erin went on to get a Pulitzer fellowship and premiered a feature documentary at 23 with international distribution. When you get a rejection, you can either let it beat you down or say, "I'm going to show them." "Tell me about yourself" is the world's worst interview question. It's lazy, not specific, and hard for the interviewee to truncate their entire life into 90 seconds. Use the past-present-future template: 1-2 sentences about your past, 1-2 about your present role, then future (where the interviewer's ears perk up), connecting to why you're applying for this specific role. Specificity is the magic word. When sending cold emails, the chances of getting a good response dramatically increase if you're specific: specific praise, specific question. Instead of "Can I pick your brain over coffee?" say, "I watched your video about X, and when you said Y, it piqued my curiosity." Higher quality questions get higher quality answers. This isn't just for podcasts or job interviews; it's a life skill. Good professional communication is like chess, not checkers. Most people just play checkers (you said this to me, I'm going to say this to you), but chess is thinking 10 steps ahead about what your end goal is and how this person falls along the path to that goal. Don't ask for a raise; ask for an adjustment to your compensation. Your job is transactional (you do work, they pay you). When you accepted your salary, you were doing X, Y, Z. Now you're doing X, Y, Z plus A, B, C. It's no longer an equal partnership, so you need an adjustment. It's not personal, it's just professional. Know your audience and your leverage.  Emotional regulation is powerful communication. If we just act impulsively and say what's on our mind all the time, it doesn't actually get you where you want to go. Always keep your desired outcome in mind. It's about checkmate. Don't just react, think about what the end goal is and how this conversation gets you there. Humanize people, don't make them wrong. That egotistical senior VP is probably actually really insecure about where they are in their career and wakes up every morning not knowing what they're doing. Put your ego to the side. Being a great communicator requires taking a break from thinking about yourself and thinking about what the other person's life is like and what their goals are. Align your goals with their goals. Think about how you can create that authentic relationship by figuring out how your goals align with what they're trying to accomplish. Shut up and listen. We do a little bit too much talking when we're trying to negotiate or strategize. It can be very beneficial to embrace the silence and practice active listening. Curiosity is an amazing way to show love. Being genuinely curious about a person makes them like you, and it becomes more natural the more you do it. Compliments have to be genuine and specific. People are way better at sniffing out fake compliments than you realize. If you can't find one thing you truly admire about someone, don't say anything. Don't make it transactional. When people ask, "How do I not make it feel like I'm using them?" Erin says, "Well, don't use them. Just be genuine." The most loving thing you can do is respect people's time. Meeting bloat has gotten really bad since the pandemic, and a lot of time is disrespected in meetings across the world. Maybe don't have the meeting. A lot of meetings are completely unnecessary, or at least the way they're set up, the people invited, or the way they're run are really inefficient. Only invite crucial people. Make sure that only the people who absolutely need to be there are invited to the meeting. Always have an agenda. At the beginning of every meeting, say "Here are the three things we're going to cover today, and here's the goal of this meeting." Put it in the calendar link with bullet points. Don't have brainstorming meetings. Have meetings with very tangible goals at the end, state them up front, and make sure that goal has been achieved by the end. Email subject lines are underutilized. Erin's dad's company would put tags like "request," "informational," or "command" on subject lines so you knew exactly what type of email it was and what was expected. The exercise of making a five-year plan changes your brain. Erin doesn't believe in sticking to a five-year plan, but the exercise of thinking about the future creates new neural pathways that change the way you think about yourself and your life. A happy life is an intentional life. The vast majority of people float through life and act very reactionary. Sitting down and thinking about what you actually want in five years is powerful self-care. Sit down with your partner and do this together. Before you get married, make five-year plans together. They might look really different (which is revealing) or really similar which doubles down on alignment. Create multiple five-year plans if you're young. If you don't know which path you're going to take, create five different scenarios for yourself and see which one energizes you most. Financial freedom is a goal worth stating. Erin wants to be financially free in the next five years, which allows her to pursue mission-driven work on her own terms. You're just another human trying to figure it out. Even though Erin wrote the book on workplace communication, she's still winging it every day just like everybody else. Combat the knowledge curse by staying connected to real people. When you're an expert in something, it's hard to imagine not being an expert. Erin moved back to Maryland suburbs to experience people working normal corporate jobs, DMs with people daily about their experiences, and gets on free calls just to listen. The data in newsletters tells a different story than people's actual experiences, so she stays grounded by hearing real anecdotes from IT workers in North Carolina or nurses in Kentucky. Set goals really high. Erin wants her startup to help 500,000 job seekers in a year, which is ambitious, but she doesn't care if she fails as long as she tries to reach it.

Think about a difficult conversation you need to have this week. Instead of just reacting to what they say, what's your desired outcome? What would "checkmate" look like, and how can you think 10 steps ahead to get there? Who in your life keeps you humble If no one does, how might you be losing perspective on yourself? What would it look like to invite that kind of honest feedback into your life? Erin recommends making a five-year plan, not to stick to it, but because the exercise creates new neural pathways. When's the last time you sat down and intentionally thought about what you want your life to look like in five years? What's stopping you from doing that this week?

This week, Kim gets honest about hitting a wall. After a brutal February (yes, including a stye that sent her into a full identity spiral), she opens up about what it feels like to be constantly “on” — impatient, unmotivated, doomscrolling, and quietly questioning your sanity while still chasing big goals.Turning 29, she reflects on a pattern she can't ignore: work really hard → burn out → collapse → repeat. And the uncomfortable realization? The problem isn't that she can't work hard — it's that she only knows how to work hard. But burnout isn't the only villain. Underneath the exhaustion is something deeper: fear of the word no. Kim breaks down how rejection became tied to her worth, why avoiding “no” keeps her playing small, and how to reframe rejection as data, gamify it, and build unshakeable confidence that doesn't crumble at the first closed door.Kim's biggest takeaway? You don't need to burn down to prove you're ambitious.Episode Timeline & Chapters:[00:40] Burnout, Doomscrolling & Feeling Over It[02:07] The Identity Spiral: When Burnout Affects Your Confidence[12:04] How to Build Consistency Without Burning Out[16:54] Why “Less Is More” Prevents Burnout[20:20] How to Stop Doomscrolling (Create a Relief Menu)[23:03] Input vs. Output Days: A Productivity Reset[27:03] Fear of Rejection & Playing Small[31:57] How to Reframe Rejection (No Is Data, Not Identity)[32:45] How to Handle Rejection Without Losing Confidence[36:01] Building Unshakeable, Evidence-Based Confidence[42:48] Weekly Pick Me Up: Sustainable AmbitionRelated Episodes: Ep. 83: The Holy Book of Confidence | How To Build & Rebuild ConfidenceApple → [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/83-the-holy-book-of-confidence-how-to-build/id1648972716?i=1000747013053]   Spotify → [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6hIxGxkHpZapZ71q4RQvG5?si=1II5gAOpSvOSQ4gycMfk1g]  YouTube → [https://youtu.be/MN40qIAiO6w?si=N6z-hkfdmmsODkwk]   ✨ You're Gonna Want to Subscribe to This:Drop us a 5-STAR review (with a compliment — we read them all: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rich-little-brokegirls/id1648972716) Follow us (@richlittlebrokegrls) on Instagram for daily clips & chaos → [https://instagram.com/richlittlebrokegrls]Join the RLBG Community for exclusive events & LIVE girl talks → [https://richlittlebrokegirls.com/join] Stalk Kim on TikTok & Instagram (@kimberlybizu) for more unfiltered hot takes → [https://instagram.com/kimberlybizu & https://tiktok.com/@kimberlybizu]Shop Kim's favorites on ShopMy → [https://shopmy.us/kimberlybizu]

Pastor Dave Russell preaching from Luke 22:63-71 on March 1st, 2026 at Oakhurst Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC.

In Gospel of Matthew 10, Jesus tells His disciples that if a town rejects them, they are to shake the dust off their feet and move on. It wasn't bitterness. It wasn't indifference. It was clarity: “I've done my part. I release this to God.”We live in a dusty world.Rejection leaves dust.Injustice leaves dust.Rude people, missed promotions, painful conversations — dust.If you don't learn to shake it off, you'll carry yesterday's dirt into tomorrow's assignment.Jesus promised abundant life in Gospel of John 10:10 — but you won't experience it if you keep showing up with dusty feet.

This is an encore presentation of an episode originally released May, 2024. After today, I will be taking a short break and returning on April 2nd with all new episodes. All Patreon memberships will be paused until we return as well. Thank you!Hey y'all! This is the ONE jail story I have yet to tell anywhere . Literally one of the craziest events of my entire life, and probably the wildest four days of my active addiction. As always though, there is purpose in the madness, and this story is no different. A few episodes ago my guest Kevin said that a "miracle" can just be a shift in perspective. I absolutely love that idea and today you and I are going to discuss the perspective shift that "rejection is protection." Typically when we are rejected for anything, or by someone, we feel it is based on our value - that we aren't "good enough." What if we can shift our belief system to believe that rejection is a good thing, and absolutely unrelated to our value? Let's talk about it! Let me know what ya'll think!

After three years of unpaid sacrifice at Hot 97, being fired and blackballed, repeatedly passed over for promotion, and ultimately losing her father to COVID, she had every reason to quit.

In this MIT keynote speech, Hala shares her raw, unfiltered come-up story and the exact mindset shifts that fueled her self-improvement and helped her build a profitable life and business against all odds.

Today's guest is a Grammy-winning songwriter, global pop architect, and one of the most quietly influential voices shaping modern music across borders.Before the world heard her voice, EJAE spent years training inside the K-pop system — learning discipline, structure, and endurance long before recognition ever arrived. When the system didn't know what to do with her, she pivoted. Slowly. Intentionally. And built a career that would eventually be heard everywhere.Now, as a songwriter whose work spans K-pop, pop, animation, and beyond — and as an artist stepping into her own voice — EJAE represents a different kind of success: one built patiently, shaped by pressure, and defined by longevity rather than speed.And The Writer Is… EJAE.In this episode of And The Writer Is…, EJAE opens up about:The reality of the K-pop training system and what it actually teaches you about discipline and survivalRejection and why her voice didn't fit the moment — and how that shaped her writingLearning to work alone after years inside a rigid systemHow songwriting became a safer, more powerful entry point than performingThe pivot that reframed her career and led to global successAnd much more…Hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications.Every week, we go deep with the most interesting creatives in music.Follow us on socials: @andthewriterisA special thank you to our sponsors…Our lead sponsor, NMPA — the National Music Publishing Association.
