In Part 3 of our series "The Kingdom of God" Roger Morris emphasizes the importance of recognizing and utilizing the authority given by Jesus Christ. He encourages believers to stop asking God for what He has already granted them the power to accomplish. By sharing personal stories and biblical references Such as Mark 9:35 and Matthew 10:7, Roger illustrates how believers, through Jesus' example, can use their authority to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and even raise the dead through faith and the Holy Spirit. He also cautions against religious traditions that hinder spiritual growth and advocates for an active, faith-driven life. The episode concludes with a heartfelt invitation to accept Jesus Christ and partner with the ministry.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Understanding Authority in Prayer 00:31 Introduction to Extraordinary Living 00:48 The Gospel of the Kingdom of God 01:08 The Great Commission and Authority 02:21 Personal Testimonies and Miracles 04:21 Challenges and Rejections in Ministry 12:33 Preaching the Gospel Despite Opposition 14:53 A Famous Horse Trainer's Story 15:57 The Power of Faith and Healing 19:58 Understanding the Great Commission 22:32 The Role of the Holy Spirit 27:05 Invitation to Accept Jesus 28:14 Conclusion and Contact Information   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Most founders dream of raising millions. Few survive the 153 “no's” it takes to get there.Behind every biotech breakthrough lies exhaustion — late-night calls, failed rounds, and investors who walk away at the finish line.What separates the ones who make it isn't luck or timing — it's resilience built into process.In this episode, Jason Foster, CEO of Ori Biotech, shares how he transformed relentless rejection into a billion-dollar trajectory. From rebuilding cell-therapy manufacturing to leading global teams through economic storms, Jason reveals how founders can systematize grit, master storytelling, and survive when everything seems to fall apart.You'll learn how to navigate fundraising winters, why leadership begins with self-care, and how to build companies that endure long after the hype fades. If you've ever doubted your path as a builder, this conversation will remind you that resilience is not a trait — it's a practice.

In der psychologischen Forschung geht es immer um Paper. Ein Paper ist sozusagen die „Hausarbeit“ von Forschenden, in denen ihre Studien und vor allem die Studienergebnisse dargestellt und publiziert werden. Wohl DER Schritt zur Publikation ist das Peer Review. Wie der Name sagt, schauen dabei drei andere Forschende (aka die Reviewer*innen) und ein*e Editor*in über ein Manuskript und kritisieren es. Das macht traurig, wütend und frustriert. In der Folge sprechen Kai und Luise über ihre Erfahrungen mit Ablehnung und Kritik und darüber, wie man damit umgeht. Und wer ist eigentlich dieser Reviewer 2?Stay positive!

In episode 141 of The Prakhar Gupta Xperience, innovator and entrepreneur Angad Daryani joins us to discuss the science and impact of air pollution. He dives into how pollution affects our immunity and intelligence, the cutting-edge technology being built to solve this crisis, and the deeper issues of rejection and talent scarcity that shape innovation in India today.Recording Date: March 7, 2025This is what we talked about:00:00 - Intro01:02 - Why Delhi Is So Polluted04:52 - Is Construction Worsening Air09:46 - Pollution Immunity: Myth or Reality?13:01 - Who will fix it?16:00 - How the Filterless Idea Began20:37 - Is Pollution Making Us Dumber?26:21 - Building Filterless Tech 30:51 - Rejections, Hustle, and No Funding36:02 - How Did Tyler Cowen Help38:41 - Can Industrial Pollution Be Solved with Indian Tech46:46 - Apple-like Air Purifier54:21 - Talent Challenges in India59:42 - Why Indian Space Companies Raise Less Money01:01:58 - Why Does India Fear Failure01:04:28 - Science Behind the Tech01:15:01 - What Is Filterless Technology?01:20:09 - Why Is Delhi's Pollution Still Ignored01:23:28 - Why Hasn't Anyone Solved This Yet01:29:01 - Current Challenges & Future Plans01:33:41 - Questions for Prakhar01:37:33 - Problems Beyond Pollution

(00:00) - Journey From Nursing to Medical School(09:54) - The Path to Medical School(20:04) - Exploring Transition to Medical School(35:11) - Transitioning From Nursing to Medicine(39:04) - Overcoming Challenges on Path to MedicineMaria's journey from nursing to medical school is a testament to unyielding determination and the courage to pursue one's dreams despite formidable challenges. Imagine juggling a demanding full-time job while navigating the rigorous curriculum of nursing school. This was Maria's reality until she realized her passion leaned more toward the role of a physician, a path that promised the flexibility she needed. With support from mentors and social media connections, Maria embarked on a non-traditional journey to medical school, overcoming multiple hurdles along the way.The road to medical school was paved with obstacles, particularly the daunting MCAT. Maria opens up about the pitfalls of traditional study methods and the transformative impact of focusing on practice questions instead. Her experience underscores the importance of perseverance, especially when initial efforts fall short, as seen when her first application met with silence due to a low MCAT score. With resilience and a strategic shift in preparation, Maria reemerged stronger, balancing her time as a medical assistant with a renewed focus on her studies, eventually achieving a score that opened doors to interviews.Maria's story resonates deeply with anyone who has faced barriers in pursuing their ambitions. As an immigrant from a low-income family, she courageously balanced familial expectations with her personal aspirations, even when it meant turning down seemingly secure opportunities like a special master's program. Her nursing background, particularly her experience in a pulmonary step-down unit, provided invaluable skills and insights that enriched her medical journey. Maria's unwavering commitment to her goal of becoming a doctor, despite the setbacks and doubts, offers inspiration to aspiring medical students everywhere: no matter the path, persistence and belief in oneself can lead to success.

We had the pleasure of hosting USA Today Bestselling Author Sharon M. Peterson. If you're a fan of witty romantic comedies, an aspiring writer looking for a shot of inspiration, or anyone navigating the creative process with ADHD, this is an interview you absolutely don't want to miss.Sharon's journey to becoming a beloved rom-com author is nothing short of extraordinary. Imagine receiving 107 rejections for your first novel. Most of us would have packed it in. Not Sharon. Her story is a powerful testament to the fact that perseverance truly is “90% of it.”Why We Need Laughter (Especially Now.)As a former middle school teacher, Sharon found her calling in humor. She explained that she writes romantic comedies because, in her words, “laughter is hopeful.” In a world that often feels heavy, her books offer a delightful escape—a chance to find joy and cope with life's stresses through heartwarming stories and genuine belly laughs.The Unspoken Chapter: Writing with ADHD.One of the most candid and impactful parts of our conversation revolved around Sharon's adult diagnosis of ADHD. This realization was a turning point, shedding light on why external deadlines were always crucial for her focus and productivity. She also highlighted the often-misunderstood representation of ADHD, especially in women, and shared her own “aha!” moment connecting with others who navigate similar challenges.This discussion wasn't just personal; it was packed with actionable advice. Sharon generously shared her top tips for maintaining focus and boosting productivity—strategies that resonate deeply whether you have ADHD or simply juggle a busy life:* The Brain Dump Before Bed: A simple yet powerful technique to clear your mind and reduce anxiety by writing down all your next-day tasks before you sleep.* The 20-Minute Alarm: Turn writing into a game! Set a timer for 20 minutes and challenge yourself to beat your previous word count. It's a fantastic dopamine boost.* Minimize Distractions: Utilize focus modes on your word processor, eliminate distracting tabs, and even turn off the word count display to stay immersed in your story.Diving into The Fix Up.We also shone a spotlight on Sharon's latest novel, The Fix Up. This “grumpy sunshine” forced-proximity rom-com introduces us to Ellie, a single mom, and Gil, a secret grandson, who are forced to co-inherit a property in charming Two Hearts, Texas.Sharon revealed a personal connection to Ellie—her protagonist also has adult-diagnosed ADHD, making this book a particularly challenging but rewarding one to write. And for those who love practical life hacks, you'll be fascinated by Ellie's unique Sticky-Note System for managing her “chaotic brain”—a system divided into “Now,” “Soon,” and “In the Future” tasks.Beyond the Books: Poodles, Success, and What's Next.From her hilarious confession about a lifelong poodle phobia (it's a “fight or flight” response, she assures us!) to her heartfelt definition of success—making people smile and laugh—Sharon offered a glimpse into the person behind the pages. And for those eagerly awaiting more, she teased an exciting new book in the Two Hearts series, featuring the character Iris!This interview was truly a masterclass in resilience, a deep dive into the craft of writing, and a touching conversation about embracing one's unique brain. Whether you're a seasoned author or just starting your writing journey, there's so much wisdom to gain from Sharon M. Peterson.Listen to the full podcast or watch the interview here:Don't forget to check out Sharon M.

Ready to dive into the wild world of “Fail Forward Friday”? This week, I'm spilling the beans on my epic journey through job rejection land—where I got turned down not once, not twice, but a whopping four times for the same job! You'd think after acing all the tests, I'd be the golden child, but nope! Turns out, sometimes the universe has a funny way of preparing us for the big moments, and I finally cracked the code on the fifth try. Join me as I dish out some juicy lessons on resilience, turning rejection into motivation, and how clarity can catapult you towards your goals faster than you can say “job interview”! So grab your cuppa, and let's get this party started!The Details:What happens when you know exactly what you're meant to do, but the world seems determined to tell you otherwise? In this powerful Fail Forward Friday episode, Heather shares her raw journey through four job rejections in 1980's Britain—a time when unemployment was so high that career training included lessons on applying for social security. With burning determination to become a computer programmer despite lacking university qualifications, she applied for the same IT role four times, getting rejected each time despite having the highest test scores. This isn't just a story about persistence—it's about the difference between knowing your path and hoping for it, and how sometimes what looks like failure is just the universe preparing you for perfect timing.What's Inside:Heather's emotional journey from an 18-year-old temp clerk to trainee programmer in 1980's northeast EnglandThe brutal reality of economic hardship and limited opportunities that shaped her generationA detailed breakdown of each rejection: from initial disappointment to colleagues' sarcasm to genuine angerThe shocking revelation that she'd scored highest on every test but was somehow "overlooked" for four attemptsHow she used each setback as information: getting coding certificates, sharpening logic skills, building resilienceThree transformational lessons about clarity, using rejection as education, and trusting perfect timingThe moment everything changed when a new HR team asked the right questionThe Uncomfortable Truth:Sometimes the system is broken, but your vision isn't. When you absolutely know what you're meant to do, rejection becomes information rather than identity—data about what needs to change, not proof that you're not enough.Key Takeaways:Absolute clarity about your path creates unstoppable momentum—when you know (not hope) you're meant for something, setbacks become stepping stonesUse rejection as information, not identity—each "no" can educate you about what to improve or what's wrong with the systemPerfect timing includes the preparation period—those delays aren't punishment, they're the universe building exactly the qualities you'll need for successIf you're excelling but not getting opportunities, that's information about their system, not your potentialChapters:00:08 - Facing Rejection: A Personal Story02:02 - Overcoming Rejection on the Path to IT03:52 - The Turning Point: Discovering My True Potential04:46 - Lessons from Rejection06:25 - Taking Action Towards Your CallingThis Week's Persistence Practice:Identify something you absolutely know you're meant to do—that calling that won't leave you alone despite obstacles.

In this conversation episode, I sit down with Jill Beissel, debut novelist and author of Glitter and Gold, to talk about what it really takes to stay resilient on the path to publication. We're speaking to writers who are deep in the query trenches, facing rejection, or holding onto the dream of signing with a literary agent and landing a traditional book deal.What we're exploring:✨ How Jill faced over 100 rejections before finding the right agent and publisher. ✨ Why joy in the writing process matters more than outside validation. ✨ The balance between persistence and patience while querying. ✨ What it feels like to finally hold your debut novel in your hands after years of effort.What I want novelists to remember:Rejection isn't the end of your story—it's part of the path. Every “no” brings you closer to the right “yes.” Your resilience, your joy, and your belief in your story are the things that will carry you through to publication.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world. During a Senate hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced criticism for spreading anti-vaccine views and breaking promises regarding vaccines. The FDA released rejection letters for companies like Lykos Therapeutics, Stealth Biotherapeutics, and Regeneron.

In this episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, Mark Sing dives into the subtle ways women give compliments that are actually veiled rejections—and how to recognize when you're stuck in the friend zone. He decodes the phrases women use to “let you down easy,” why guys often read them the wrong way, and how to turn the tables so YOU end up being the one friendzoning HER. Mark explains exactly what it means when a girl calls you “sweet,” says “some girl will be lucky to have you,” or insists “you're too good for me.” More importantly, he lays out a step-by-step plan on how you can get yourself out of the friend zone—or better yet, avoid it altogether. With a mix of tactical advice, hard truths, and laugh-out-loud examples, this episode is your playbook for escaping the nice guy prison. Key Takeaways: The hidden meaning behind compliments like “You're so sweet” and why they're really signs of rejection. Why phrases like “Some girl will be lucky to have you” or “You're too good for me” mean you're deep in the friend zone. The critical mistakes men make that put them there in the first place.

Eva Yazhari — Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Ventures, early-stage investor, author of The Good Your Money Can Do, and advocate for conscious capitalism. Her funds have backed 50+ equity and 9 debt investments, reaching over 100 million customers across Africa and India. First and most recent dollar: First job: Working at a Staten Island bread shop. Today: Managing partner of a venture + private credit fund investing in emerging markets with LP capital. Family background & mindset: Father grew up in Tanzania; grandfather a medical doctor working with Catholic missions — early exposure shaped her view of Africa as opportunity, not risk. Parents were artists — exposure to art trained her in pattern recognition, now one of her investor superpowers. Education & mindset pivots: Started pre-med at Columbia → realized it was toxic competition. Pivoted to math, discovering both aptitude and love of problem solving. Training in mathematics = fluency in patterns, language of money, and risk analysis. Early career: VP at Entrust Capital (fund of hedge funds). Employee #2 → helped scale from $200M → $4.8B AUM. Managed relationships with activist hedge fund giants like Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn. Learned portfolio building, risk management, and fundraising skills that later became core to her VC work. Why venture capital in Africa & India? By 2050, 1 in 4 humans will be African; India today has the world's largest working-age population. 53% of the next decade's growth will come from these regions. Saw contrarian “alpha” opportunity most Western investors still dismiss. Sectors of focus: Healthcare Fintech Mobility Agtech (selectively) All are tech-enabled, solving essential problems for fast-growing middle classes. Conscious capitalism lens: Portfolio companies think beyond profits → align incentives with customers, governments, communities. Example: Rwanda's first licensed online pharmacy; startup scaling e-motorbikes after gas bikes banned. Beyond Capital gives founders a share of fund profits — equitable ownership model. Fundraising lessons: Fundraising is sales math: Eva raised her second fund after 550+ investor meetings → ~30–40 LPs. Funnel has to be very wide. Mindset matters: Rejections happen, but abundance mindset drives momentum. Referrals are gold: “Every dud knows a stud” — rejections often connect you to your best investors. Exude confidence from a clear strategy — investors back comfort + conviction. Personal insights: Considers herself an entrepreneur, not just an allocator. Believes leadership skills are as critical as financial acumen. Thinks of her fund as her “third child.” Alternate career: Pop star. Dream chat: Emma Grede (helped Kardashian brands scale). Learning style: Podcasts, audiobooks, physical books. Reading now: The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle. Her book: The Good Your Money Can Do. Pump-up song: The Rapture Pt. 3 by Black Coffee. Weakness: Moving slowly — always in motion. https://www.instagram.com/consciousinvestor/?hl=en
