In this episode, we break down the second Hermetic Principle, Correspondence, and translate “as above, so below, as within, so without” into real life, practical language. You'll learn how your inner standards, beliefs, and nervous system show up in your habits, your communication, your boundaries, and your results, and why the same “fractal” patterns repeat across marriage, masculinity, parenting, discipline, finances, and self respect. This isn't mysticism for the sake of sounding deep, it's a clear lens for spotting the hidden structure beneath your daily choices, then making small corrections that compound.You can expect direct examples that hit home, like how “the straw that broke the camel's back” is never about the straw, it's about the load you ignored for too long, and why conflict is usually about trust, safety, respect, appreciation, power, and fear of abandonment, not the trash, tone, sex, budget, or in laws. The episode also gives you a simple framework to “upgrade the pattern” by naming the cycle without blame, identifying the belief driving it, and repeating the correction until it becomes your new default, plus a real talk segment on why change is hard, how familiar pain protects identity, and how self respect becomes the fuel for transformation.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

I recorded this for our Patreon. I have received a lot of positive feed back on this. So I am sharing it publicly. I hope you enjoy it. In this podcast, you'll learn the first Hermetic Principle, Mentalism, and how your mind shapes your lived reality through the meanings you assign, the attention you rehearse, and the actions you take. Chris breaks down how “raw data becomes a story, the story creates emotion, emotion pressures action, and action creates consequences,” then ties it directly to Adlerian psychology, mindset training, and practical personal responsibility. If you're into Hermetic Principles, manifestation with backbone, mental discipline, and self mastery that actually changes behavior, this episode gives you a clear framework to stop confusing interpretation with reality and start steering outcomes on purpose.You can expect concrete tools you can use immediately in relationships, work, and daily life, including widening the gap between stimulus and response, generating three plausible meanings before you react, and running an “attention audit” so you stop feeding resentment loops, doomscrolling, and negative self talk. Chris also shares a relationship repair line that turns accusation into curiosity, plus a simple morning and night practice to train your mental filter and build evidence based confidence. This is for anyone who wants stronger emotional regulation, cleaner communication, better relationships, and a spiritual lens that stays grounded in standards, values, and real world results.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton take a brutally honest look at one of the most painful realities in the first responder world...how shift work (Amazon Affiliate) quietly erodes relationships from the inside out. When one partner is awake while the other sleeps… When days off never line up… When holidays, anniversaries, and milestones get swallowed by mandatory overtime… When communication is reduced to exhausted check-ins and calendar updates… Even the strongest marriages begin to feel like two people living parallel lives instead of building one together. This episode breaks down exactly why shift work is one of the leading predictors of divorce in police, fire, EMS, and dispatch families — and what couples can do to stop the slow drift toward disconnection.
Episode 301 kicks off the 300s with Colin Harms and opens with a milestone announcement, HyperVac Technologies and HyperFab are the official Title Sponsors of The Business Development Podcast for 2026. Kelly and Colin reflect on the relationship that started through the podcast, why community and consistency matter, and what it takes to keep raising the standard as an independent Canadian show that is competing on a global stage.From there, the conversation gets real about building through pressure as a Canadian business and making the shift from reacting to taking control. Colin shares how they intentionally diversified by building HyperFab long before the tariffs, moving from 100 percent subcontracted manufacturing to bringing fabrication fully in house so they could control timelines, quality, and execution. They break down why that decision sets them up to win in 2026, and how HyperFab is positioned to become a major player as the next chapter of growth takes off.Key Takeaways:1. One bold reach out can change everything, because the right relationships often start with a simple “I felt the urge to message you.” 2. Consistency builds momentum, especially when you create something every week that you genuinely look forward to and plan your life around. 3. Reinvest in what's already producing fruit, because sowing into solid ground is how you multiply results instead of starting from zero every time. 4. Relationships beat transactions, and loyalty comes from actually caring, not just “closing the deal.” 5. Community is a force multiplier, because it gives you a safe space to vent, learn, and borrow perspective when you're carrying it alone. 6. The mindset shift that changes everything is moving from “why is this happening to us?” to “what can we do about it?” 7. In hard seasons, don't bury your head or quit early, keep peeling layers, making calls, and finding a way even when people say it won't work. 8. Success leaves clues, so study what's already working, learn from competitors, and copy great systems without ego. 9. You can forecast all you want, but you still won't fully know what's next, so the real advantage is staying adaptable and willing to pivot fast. 10. Long term winners take control of the fundamentals, bring key capabilities in-house, hire the right people, and build the confidence to say “we can do this.” Ready to make 2026 your year?The Catalyst Club is a private community for founders, business owners, and leaders who are serious about growth, accountability, and real conversations that move the needle.

Emphasizing that the key difference between the ordinary and extraordinary is God's divine touch, Johnson discusses the critical importance of discipleship, fasting, and prayer. He underscores Jesus' ultimate act of submission in the Garden of Gethsemane and how followers are called to be like Jesus in saying, 'Thy will be done.' Johnson cautions against 'pick and mix religion,' urging believers to fully align with God's word to see divine power manifest in their lives.

The video opens with Shodankeh Johnson, a renowned Christian leader from Sierra Leone, Africa, sharing extraordinary testimonies about the transformative power of prayer and fasting. Shodankeh emphasizes that these spiritual disciplines can turn ordinary people into extraordinary individuals who can accomplish God's work. Shodankeh illustrates his points by sharing compelling stories from his own life and ministry. He explains how submission to God through prayer and fasting can open doors for disciple-making and transforming communities. His stories include instances where prayer and fasting led to miraculous conversions, including a confrontation with a militant leader who eventually became a Christian and now serves as part of Shodankeh's ministry. Shodankeh argues that disciple-making involves three levels of submission to God: the disciple-maker, the lost, and the spirits. He highlights how prayer and fasting are active ingredients that empower these stages. Through fasting and prayer, ordinary men and women have become powerful instruments for God's work in Sierra Leone, leading to entire villages and tribes coming to know Jesus. As Shodankeh's session concludes, Dave Clayton and Mandisa join the conversation. Dave Clayton, a pastor from the Nashville area, shares his journey of integrating prayer and fasting into his church's practice. He narrates their struggles and triumphs, emphasizing how persistent prayer and fasting have begun to catalyze a spiritual shift within their community. Dave explains his vision to mobilize churches across Nashville to pray and fast over every name, neighborhood, and nation represented in the city. His goal is to spark a broader movement of prayer and fasting throughout America. Mandisa, known for her work in the Discipleship First Tribe and her music career, talks about her realization of the need for desperation in prayer. She compares her experiences in American churches with those she observed during international tours, noting a stark contrast in the desperate fervor for prayer and fasting. She is moved to challenge herself and others to cultivate a similar level of spiritual desperation. Throughout the video, the speakers discuss cultural differences and the challenges faced by the American church in adopting these spiritual disciplines. Shodankeh explains that fasting and prayer are disruptive, yet necessary for true disciple-making. The leaders highlight the importance of humility, learning from the global church, and bringing a disruptive disciple-making mindset to North America. In conclusion, this video is a stirring reminder of the power of prayer and fasting in disciple-making. It challenges viewers to reconsider their spiritual practices and embrace a deeper, more committed walk with God for the sake of personal transformation and broader community impact.

In this Voice of the Broken episode on the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris Burkett reads a powerful listener update about healing the father wound, surviving childhood abuse, and breaking generational cycles. You'll hear a raw story of parental alienation, self worth collapsing under lies, then a decade later, reconnection, forgiveness, grief, and the moment every boy craves, “I'm proud of you.” Chris weaves in his own experience, why psychological warfare hits different than bruises, and why civil co parenting matters if you don't want to quietly sabotage your child's identity, confidence, and future relationships. Expect real talk on how men rebuild themselves when they've been trained to believe they aren't enough, plus practical tools that actually move the needle, journaling, community, honest accountability, and learning to give grief a place to go instead of letting it rot into anger. The episode also touches on the role of plant medicine experiences for perspective shifts, why being a stepdad can be deeply meaningful, and how to stop begging for love by becoming a man who can carry it, receive it, and aim it with intention. If you're dealing with toxic parents, estranged family, divorce fallout, depression, shame, or you're trying to become the one who ends the cycle for your kids, this one will land.

What story do you tend to tell yourself when conflict happens—“I’m failing,” “I’m unlovable,” “They’ll hurt me,” etc.? Where might unhealed past experiences be shaping how you see and react to present relationships? What would emotional safety look like for you? What boundaries, support, or healing might God be inviting you toward? Where do you sense God calling you to honesty—either with yourself, Him, or someone else? If your current relational or emotional patterns remain the same, where might they lead you? What could healing change? How does it encourage you to know that God does not shame your pain—but meets you in it with compassion and restoration?

Manufacturing leadership is more than just charts, tools, and process maps. It requires people who understand the routines, pressures and drivers within a factory, and how to bring out the best in the people behind it. In this episode, keynote speaker, certified leadership coach and business transformation advisor, Kathy Miller returns to the show to share some ideas from her latest book, MORE is Better, a framework built from years of leading operations and studying what drives excellence in manufacturing.Rather than starting with strategy or systems, Kathy begins with the human elements: helping people find meaning in the work they do, creating a culture where problems feel solvable, and building the relationships that make teams stronger and more resilient. Her stories come straight from plant floors navigating Lean initiatives, new technology, talent turnover, and the day-to-day realities of production.For leaders trying to build long-term capability in their teams, Kathy reminds us that the factories that thrive are the ones that invest in both performance and people. In this episode, find out:Why meaningful work matters more than ever, and how to help people see their impactThe difference between autonomy and agency and why agency is what drives pride, ownership, and problem-solving on the plant floorHow optimism becomes a cultural engine, not a personality traitWhere Lean manufacturing and positive psychology intersectHow leaders at every level shape culture through micro-moments of connection that build trust, resilience, and collaborationWhat digital transformation and AI mean for manufacturing workersHow to “do a little more today” with small, practical leadership actions that build stronger workplaces one conversation, one moment, one choice at a timeEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“A key aspect of lean manufacturing is eliminating waste. We don't want people creating scrap. Who wants to work on something that's going to end up being waste? Don't you want to work on the product itself?”“Small choices really build our culture, our performance, and our leadership legacy, and that happens one little shift at a time.”“Optimism is really about that ability to look at when things go wrong and know that you can solve the problem. It's temporary, it's specific, and it's not going to be the end of the world.”Links & mentions:MORE is Better: Leading Operations with Meaning, Optimism, and Relationships for Excellence, by Kathy Miller, a practical handbook for manufacturing leaders, grounded in psychology and real plant experience, focused on building strong cultures that drive performance.More 4 Leaders, Kathy's website and the home of More Mentor, her AI-powered coaching tool designed to help leaders work through real-world challenges using the principles from MORE is Better.Episode 97 featuring Kathy Miller, our first conversation with Kathy, aired June 28, 2022, where she shares her journey from running global manufacturing operations to coaching leaders through culture, leadership, and transformation.
This short episode is a reflection on the real relationships we form with the people who sit in our chairs. I've often said that clients aren't your friends, they're your clients. And professionally, that boundary matters. But every now and then, those lines blur in ways that are deeply human.I share a couple of stories from my time behind the chair that have stayed with me for decades. One client who reminded me never to underestimate the importance of kindness, and another who became part of my family in the most unexpected way. These are reminders of the quiet role hairdressers play in people's lives, sometimes without even realising it.As the year wraps up, this episode is simply a thank you. To the clients we serve, the relationships we build, and to you for listening. Because when you stop and think about it, this industry can create some very special connections, and it's easy to take them for granted.Want MORE to help you GROW?
Money and love: the two things we stress about most in our twenties, and yet we rarely talk about how deeply connected they are. In this episode, I’m joined by Jack Howard, Head of Money Wellness at Ally, to unpack the psychology of money in our relationships and how it shapes who we date, how we fight, and how we build a life together. In this episode, we explore: Why money and love are so deeply linked Spender vs. saver dynamics and why opposites so often attract Why we emotionally spend? What’s the deal with prenups? Is it worth having an expensive wedding? When to get joint bank accounts? How to talk about money WELL! If you’ve ever argued about money with a partner, avoided talking about it, or worried you’re “bad” with finances, this episode will give you language, tools, and a lot of reassurance that you’re not alone.

Legendary matchmaker and "Cupid's Coach" host Julie Ferman joins The Debate Team break down how the dating industry has changed, why we tend to be our own worst enemies, the challenges of fixing up the broken, how people's wants don't align with their needs, and much much more!
This episode is back as a replay because the conversation is still incredibly relevant—and the questions around PECS and AAC haven't gone away. In this episode, we take a thoughtful, nuanced look at the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and its role in supporting autistic communication. While PECS has been widely used for decades, growing research, lived experience, and neurodiversity-affirming practice are prompting professionals to ask deeper questions about autonomy, flexibility, and what true communication really looks like. I'm joined by speech-language pathologists Paulina Elias and Dr. Amanda Blackwell from Natural Communication for a powerful discussion about how PECS originated, what it does well, and where it can fall short—especially when communication is limited to requesting or tightly controlled exchanges. We explore why many clinicians are shifting toward multimodal, child-led AAC approaches that support regulation, self-expression, and authentic connection. You'll hear us unpack topics like honoring a child's right to say "no," moving away from hand-over-hand prompting, and choosing communication tools that grow alongside a child rather than restricting them. Whether you're a parent, educator, or therapist, this replay episode offers updated perspectives that may challenge old assumptions—and help you feel more confident in supporting communication that is respectful, functional, and truly empowering.
What if the answers you're searching for have been inside you all along? How often do you hand your power to others without even noticing? And could your biggest struggles be invitations to finally see yourself clearly? In this deeply honest Q&A episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi opens up like never before, responding to your most personal questions—from love and friendship to purpose, comparison, creativity, and healing. Filled with humor, vulnerability, and striking self-awareness, Radhi shares the lessons she’s learned the hard way and the ones she’s still learning now. She talks about the lifelong pattern of believing others knew better than she did, how she finds calm and balance in her marriage, why friendship breakups can hurt more than romantic ones, and what it really looks like to find motivation as a creator and business owner. Radhi also gets real about comparison, jealousy, burnout, emotional eating, and self-sabotage—offering not polished perfection, but raw truth and lived experience. Through it all, she reminds us that growth isn’t linear, emotions aren’t weaknesses, and you can rewrite the way you see yourself at any time. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why trusting yourself is one of the hardest—and most transformative—skills to build How to stay an individual while loving someone deeply Why friendship breakups can be necessary for growth What creative blocks really mean and how to move through them How comparison can actually reveal what you truly want Why self-love requires evidence, not affirmations How to recognize and interrupt cycles of self-sabotage What it means to carry the people you’ve lost into who you become This episode is a reminder that you're not alone in your questions, your doubts, or your messy middle. It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about learning to notice your life, honor your emotions, and trust that you're becoming the person you’re meant to be.

The Real AI: Authenticity + Intention in Life and Business In a world where AI can write emails, produce video, and even mimic your voice, the greatest competitive advantage left is being human. Brian McRae reminds us that emotional loyalty, being known, valued, remembered, is what creates opportunity, referrals, purpose, and a life of meaningful success. Social media may get you attention, but it will never create devotion. Relationships do. If you've been feeling alone, stuck, or unsure how to expand your circle of opportunity, this conversation is your roadmap back to connection. Key Points with Reflection Questions: Emotional Loyalty Is More Powerful Than Marketing. Most loyalty is transactional or habitual. But emotional loyalty, the kind your favorite small restaurant gives you when they remember your name and your kids, is what transforms your business and life. Brian built an entire mortgage business through emotional loyalty created at his monthly event. Reflection Question: Who in your life deserves more intentional appreciation from you this week? Authenticity + Intentionality = The New AI. Brian says the most important "AI" in business isn't artificial intelligence. It's Authentic and Intentional actions. A handwritten note, a thoughtful question, or genuine curiosity carries more power than any automated funnel. Reflection Question: Where can you replace automation with authentic intention? The World Rewards Generosity, Not Neediness. Most networking fails because people lead with "What's in it for me?" Brian teaches the opposite: Lead with gratitude, curiosity, and generosity, and doors open that marketing can't touch. Reflection Question: What's one simple generosity action you can take in the next 24 hours? Referrals Come From Partners, Not Clients. Most people confuse their client with their referral partner. Referral partners don't want to be sold to. They want partnership, support, and value. Brian's business grew by helping other professionals grow theirs. Reflection Question: Who are your true referral partners, and how are you helping them win? Relationships Require Rhythm and Systems. You don't need the perfect CRM. You need the one you actually use. Brian says: Identify your top relationships, Create a connection plan, Put follow-up time on your calendar, Track what matters, and Your calendar reveals your priorities. Your CRM reveals your influence. Reflection Question: What relationship rhythm do you need to protect weekly? Success Requires Facing Challenges, Not Avoiding Them. Brian has worked with and coached thousands of successful people. Their secret? They don't avoid challenges — they grow through them. They look for opportunity in the obstacle. Reflection Question: What challenge are you resisting that might actually be your path to growth Faith, Wisdom, and Mentors Shape Everything. Brian openly shares that faith transformed his life, and that mentors changed his direction. Success isn't achieved alone. It's shaped by the wisdom of people who've walked the road before us. Reflection Question: Which wise voice should you be listening to more closely right now? Money Learning from Brian McRae: Brian uses Profit First not because it's trendy, but because he never wants financial surprises again. · Profit First gave him: Peace of mind Predictable cash flow Confidence his taxes and expenses were covered The freedom to build a coaching business in alignment with his strengths He described Profit First as a system that eliminates stress and supports life-aligned decisions. In Richer Soul terms: It's a structure that creates space for purpose. Key Takeaway: Success is not built on followers, funnels, or tactics. Success is built on intentional generosity, consistent relational rhythms, and becoming someone others want to advocate for. Emotional loyalty is the last unfair advantage in a world of automation. Bio: Brian McRae built an award-winning, referral-based mortgage practice that placed him among the top 1% of originators nationwide. But along the way, he discovered a surprising truth: success isn't about being the best salesperson in the room—it's about becoming the most trusted advisor in someone's life. Today, Brian coaches loan officers, financial advisors, and attorneys on how to build rich relationships that generate referrals and grow their businesses—without sacrificing their faith, family, or fitness. His clients learn how to attract business instead of chase it, freeing up time and energy for what matters most. Through his frameworks, the Trusted Advisor Playbook and the Momentum System, Brian gives leaders a step-by-step plan to win more clients by first winning more trust. If you want to grow your practice through trust instead of tactics, Brian is the coach who can show you how.

This Christmas, we did something completely different. Instead of planning our usual year-end reflection, we handed control to AI—specifically ChatGPT—and asked it to curate 15 topics based on who we are, what we've experienced this year, and what needs to be said. The result? Well, you're just gonna have to give it a listen! Join Harmony Slater and Russell Case as they explore the intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology through discussions that span quantum consciousness, psychedelic healing, the Ashtanga yoga world's reckoning, and the art of finding beauty in life's broken moments. This isn't your typical year-in-review episode—it's a deep dive into what happens when you let "Gaia Earth Consciousness" (as Russell calls AI) guide a conversation about transformation.

What really happens when blame takes over our relationships—and how can we break free from its toxic grip? In this thought-provoking episode of "Strong Mind, Strong Body," host Angie Miller and featured guest, Dr. Nilda Perez, dive into “The Cost of Blame: How It Hurts Relationships,” unpacking why finger-pointing is so destructive and what you can do about it. Drawing from real-life examples and Dr. Perez's expertise in behavioral health, this episode goes deep into the “blame cycle”—how it often begins in childhood, shapes our adult interactions, and spirals into victimhood, isolation, anxiety, and even depression. Discover why chronic blamers act the way they do, the difference between healthy accountability and toxic blame, and how subtle language (“I'm sorry you feel that way...”) keeps us stuck. You'll learn practical, science-backed strategies to ditch the blame game—like pressing pause, taking true responsibility, embracing “both/and” thinking, and asking, “How does it feel to always be the victim?” This isn't just self-help fluff: the episode reveals how blame rewires your brain and undermines both mental health and meaningful connection. If you're ready to transform your relationships, boost self-awareness, and truly step into your own power (or just want to end endless arguments), this is a must-listen. Tune into this encore presentation to find out how you can move from blame to genuine accountability—and why that shift changes everything.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Sophie Lucido Johnson discuss the evolution of family and the concept of "kin" in Sophie's book "Kin: The Future of Family." They explore the isolation and loneliness in modern society, emphasizing the importance of chosen family networks, or "pods," for emotional and physical well-being. She highlights the benefits of close, non-genetic relationships, citing research showing that strong social connections can prolong life more than health habits. Sophie also addresses the challenges of maintaining friendships post-children and the mutual support needed in kin relationships, drawing parallels to primate behavior and community responses to disasters. Key Takeaways: Digital connective tools are wonderful, but they do not take the place of human connection of conversation, and relationships. You do not have to live with someone to create a family pod together. Living in proximity can help to share the burden and lighten the load. It is good for your mental and physical health to build relationships with those in close proximity to you. Relationships do not need to be transactional. However, by nature, there will be levels of give and take. Commitment is not just for romantic relationships. Planning is difficult. Be spontaneous with short time hangouts, running errands together, and a willingness to commit more deeply with your friends while being flexible. Cross-generational relationships have many benefits for all parties involved. "There's nothing that the science has shown to prolong your life more than relationships with other people." — Sophie Lucido Johnson Connect with Sophie Lucido Johnson: Website: https://www.sophielucidojohnson.com/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/sophielucidojohnson Book: simonandschuster.com/books/Kin/Sophie-Lucido-Johnson/9781668060650 Instagram: instagram.com/sophielucidojohnson Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
