Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Elizabeth Haggerty, EVP Customer Solutions, America's Division, CRH. She highlights how navigating life's and career pivots, unexpected business challenges, and a life-changing health diagnosis led her to discover untapped reserves of courage and resilience, offering real-life strategies to thrive through uncertainty and continual growth. In today's episode, we discuss: Adopt the "one foot in, one foot out" approach. When considering a new role or industry, bring core skills you already have while stretching into new territory, so you're growing without completely untethering yourself. Let your setbacks refine, not define, you. When a business is sold, or a role ends abruptly, even through being fired, treat it as a painful but powerful pivot point, not a verdict on your worth or future potential. Integrate joy and self-care into your life. Make space for passions, hobbies, and relationships outside of work. These experiences not only enhance your overall well-being but also give you energy and perspective to face professional challenges with renewed spirit. Redefine your identity beyond job titles. Reflect on how external achievements and positions have shaped your sense of self. Shift your focus from titles to your skill sets, values, and unique contributions. This empowers you to navigate transitions and derive fulfillment from multiple aspects of life. Release the need to do everything alone. Accept that asking for help is a sign of wisdom, not weakness. Rely on your team's expertise and focus on asking insightful questions. This collaborative approach strengthens outcomes and develops your leadership.

God contrasts the kindnesses of the righteous and the wicked. I. The Kindness of the Righteous A. Regarding the animals 1. Because it makes sense—animals are his servants 2. Because the beast is God's creature 3. Providing for beasts (Deuteronomy 22:6-7; 25:4) B. Surely we can argue from the lesser to the greater C. To whom is the righteous man to be merciful? 1. His animals—Genesis 24:19, 32; 33:13-14 2. His enemies—Psalm 35:11-16 3. His children—Colossians 3:21 4. His wife—Colossians 3:19; I Peter 3:7 Application A. Follow the example we are to display—God's mercy 1. "blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" 2. God has been abundantly kind to us 3. He sends rain on the just and on the unjust 4. Psalm 36:7; 103:8; 145:9, 15-16; Lamentations 3:22-23 5. He expects us to be merciful to others a. Bowels of compassion (Colossians 3:12-13; I John 3:17) b. Actually doing what is merciful (James 2:16) 6. Avoid fake fruit and artificial kindness B. Hold onto Jesus, who showed great compassion 1. Mark 1:40-44 (re leper); 8:1-2 (multitudes without food) 2. Luke 7:11-15 (widow who had lost her only son) 3. Luke 7:19-23 (answer given to John's disciples) 4. John 20:11-18 5. How do we do this? a. Make sure that you're engaged in kind acts with a view to God's glory b. May your kindnesses be offered as gratitude for Christ's sacrifice (1) Not as something that is meritorious (2) Offered as good works on the basis of Christ's atonement c. Rely on Christ's imputed righteousness (1) Those deeds of kindness were in fulfillment of the law (2) Therefore, embrace Him and trust in His righteousness
Wild bee species at risk of extinction in Europe have more than doubled in the last decade. And that matters more than you might think.Bees pollinate 75% of the crops we eat, from apples and tomatoes to carrots and raspberries. So if bee populations decline, our food system feels it too. So what's actually driving the drop in wild bees? BBC climate & science correspondent Georgina Rannard breaks it down for us. We also hear from a beekeeper in Sierra Leone about protecting bees on the ground – and what simple changes could help them thrive closer to home.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Iqra Farooq Producers: Baldeep Chahal, Chelsea Coates, Emily Horler Video producer: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde
In this episode, I speak to an audience of entrepreneurs about how technology is resetting the business landscape, from the rise of AI to the explosion of experiential events and alternative sports. I dive deep into the changing competitive landscape, where the convergence of social, blockchain, and AI is creating new battlegrounds for attention. I stress that building a personal or company brand is the single most important long-term strategy, and I share my belief that the individual person is about to build a billion-dollar corporation. I also answer questions about the future of live shopping, my hiring philosophy, and why I waited years to raise capital for VaynerMedia. You'll learn about:The Convergence of AI, Blockchain, and Social MediaWhy Attention is the #1 CurrencyThe Explosive Opportunity in Experiential Events and Alternative SportsWhy the Boom in Collectibles "Hasn't Even Begun"My Hiring Strategy: Focusing on Self-Confidence over InsecurityHow to Navigate Capital Issues and the Power of PatienceWhy the Blockchain is a Vital "Ledger of Proof"

FEB. 26, 2026Rely on God, not yourself."As a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God." 2Co 1:9 NLTSeveral men went on a mission trip to Haiti where they met a nineteen-year-old young man who loved Christ deeply. So they invited him to visit them in America and paid for his trip. The young Haitian felt as if he were in another world. He'd never slept between sheets, had three meals a day, used indoor plumbing, or tasted a hamburger. When it was time to return to Haiti, they asked him for his impressions of what he'd experienced, and he replied: "I have really enjoyed my time here with you. But I am also very glad to be going home.You have so much in America that I'm beginning to lose my grip on my day-to-day dependency on Christ." Paul spoke of a time of trouble in Asia in which he was "crushed and overwhelmed" (2Co 1:8 NLT). Then he wrote: "As a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God" (v. 9 NLT). And God wants to bring you to that place also. Yes, He wants you to use the gifts and resources He has provided, but His desire is that you rely completely on Him. Only then can He provide everything He desires to give you, because then you will be open, ready, and mature enough to receive it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear [reverence, respect, obey] the Lord" (Pr 3:5-7 NLT).Rely on God, not yourself"He will show you which path to take."Share This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” after $1 trillion in SaaS market cap vanished in a single week. While headlines scream that “AI will replace SaaS,” Ross argues the reality is far more nuanced. He introduces a three-part framework ; Exposed, Embedded, Evolved , and outlines the strategic shifts founders and marketers must make to survive and compound in the age of AI agents. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The $1 Trillion Wake-Up Call -SaaS stocks were crushed in early 2026, triggering fear across markets. -AI agents, LLM advancements, and disappointing earnings accelerated the correction. -The dominant narrative says AI will replace SaaS , but the situation is more complex. -Market fear is loud. Structural change is quieter, but very real. 2.AI Agents, Vibe Coding & the Death of Per-Seat Pricing? -AI agents interacting directly with APIs challenge traditional SaaS interfaces. -“Vibe coding” demonstrates how quickly software can now be replicated. -Per-seat pricing models are under pressure as automation scales output. -The interface is shifting from dashboards to conversations. 3.The Data Reality Most People Ignore -Global SaaS spending is projected to grow from $318B (2025) to $500B+ (2028). -Enterprise contracts and deep dependencies don't disappear overnight. -Pricing models may change. Market leaders may change. -Software demand isn't vanishing, it's evolving. 4.The Extinction Stack: Exposed, Embedded, Evolved -SaaS companies fall into three survival tiers. -Not all SaaS companies face equal risk. -Your future depends on depth of integration and data moat. -Operators must identify where they sit, now. 5.Type 1: The Exposed -Horizontal point solutions with weak moats and low switching costs. -Easily replicated with AI tools in days or weeks. -Rely on habit rather than proprietary advantage. -Most vulnerable to margin compression and churn. 6.Type 2: The Embedded -Deeply integrated systems of record inside enterprises. -Painful and complex to replace due to migration risk. -The risk isn't extinction ,it's interface disruption. -Must become AI-first before agents abstract them away. 7. Type 3: The Evolved -AI-native or aggressively AI-integrated platforms. -Built on proprietary data, regulatory moats, and deep user memory. -AI increases the value of their data advantage. -Positioned not just to survive, but accelerate. 8.Distribution Is the New Defensive Moat -AI can replicate features. It cannot replicate trust. -Brand equity, audience relationships, and distribution compound. -As product development gets cheaper, distribution becomes the advantage. -This is the moment to double down on quality and amplification. 9.From Time-Based to Outcome-Based Thinking -Per-seat and time-based pricing models face structural pressure. -The future favors outcome-driven pricing and accountability. -Buyers will demand measurable impact, not access. -Service businesses must shift from hours sold to results delivered. 10. Intentional AI vs Fear-Based AI -Two types of teams are emerging: intentional adopters and reactive adopters. -AI without process creates noise, not leverage. -10,000 mediocre AI assets won't move the needle. -10 strategic, AI-enabled assets can change a business trajectory. —
Astrologer, soul guide and Mystical Messages host Hilary Harley outlines the cosmic energies for March 2026. A total lunar eclipse in Virgo focuses our attention on health, wellness and work, the practical systems that make our life function smoothly. Rely on this grounding energy. We are invited (or pushed) to surrender anyone or anything that does not feel aligned for our future well-being. Messenger Mercury is retrograde through the Spring Equinox on March 20th, making it a great time to practice the RE words: research, rest, restore, renew, renovate, and more. Hold off on signing significant documents or major purchases and travel plans until after March 21st. With the volume of planets in water signs during the first part of March, we may feel at loose ends. Turn to music and water activities for cleansing and release rather than seeking escape through drugs, alcohol, or addictive behavior. Life kicks into high gear beginning with the New Moon in Pisces on March 18th, followed by the Spring Equinox and Messenger Mercury turning direct motion on March 20th. Feel the energetic shift! With the Sun, Saturn and Neptune at the Creator Degree of Aries, our engines are lit. Time to go for it: sign the contracts, make your move, invest in yourself. Leap and the net will appear!

Hundreds of thousands of California families rely on federal housing assistance programs to make rent- you might know it as Section 8 vouchers. Based on their income, they'll pay a certain percentage of the rent and the government pays the rest. Recipients include seniors, veterans, people with disabilities and children. But the Trump administration is expected to introduce new rules to these programs in the coming months. Some lawmakers argue that could make assistance harder to access. Guest: Sharon Quirk-Silva, California State Assembly California's investing billions of dollars into a new grade for 4-year-olds called transitional kindergarten. But the state hasn't set aside any money to evaluate it.

Hi Tradies, memory isn't that great. You can't rely on it.If you want a successful business that gives you more money, time and freedom, you need to act more like a businessperson and less like a tradie.And that means not relying on fallible memory — yours, and everyone else's: customers, staff, suppliers and partners.I see a lot of things done on handshakes and verbal agreements. Instructions, arrangements, agreements. This creates problems, of course - different recollections of what was said or agreed: forgetting to do things or not doing them properly.The answer, as usual, is systems and writing things down.I'll tell you a quick story. I once shared a memory about a friend, Ted, who I thought had done a week in jail over a dispute with a client. His wife later told me it wasn't true. He got in trouble, but he didn't do time. My memory was close — but wrong.That's how memory works. Yours is the same. So is everyone else's.Here's where your memory can cause problems in your business.1 Your Tasks. Many of you don't write things down. You trust yourself to remember. You need a system — a diary, phone notes, Outlook, Gmail, and voice notes to your admin. Pick one and use it.Your Appointments. Too many people don't put everything in their calendar or don't check it properly. All meetings and jobs should be in one synced calendar. Have a system to get “See you Thursday at 2” into your calendar straight away and another to remind you to check it.Agreements with Customers. Quotes, variations, dates, access, rules, changes — if it matters, write it down. Send a confirmation email: “Confirming we agreed…” This is important because if they don't remember it the same way you find out now and if they don't disagree now, that's now the truth. Attach it to the job.Job Instructions to Your Team. Too often it's a quick verbal briefing and everyone's expected to remember it. They won't. We all forget, misunderstand, and mix things up. Every job needs written instructions, job cards, plans, drawings, and site diaries where needed. These belong in your job management system.Agreements with staff. Contracts, pay, reviews, warnings, leave — keep proper records (and send email confirmations). Use HR software if you can.Agreements with suppliers. Same as with clients. Record what you verbally agree - prices, discounts, delivery, terms — confirm in writing and attach to your job management system.The Other S#*t. Phone calls, site conversations, ideas, things that occur to you. If it's written down, it's what happened. Put it in your diary or send it to your admin.This is part of becoming a businessperson instead of just a tradie. It stops you forgetting things, saves you time, and prevents f#*k-ups.It's a game-changer. If you don't have this in place — for you and your team — get onto it.--------------------------------------Get the Written Confirmation Worksheet for Trades and Builders here: https://pages.smallfish.com.au/business-for-trades-written-confirmation-worksheetIf you want more money (profit), more time (off work), and more freedom (from work, stress, responsibility) Book a Money Call: smallfish.com.au/tradies/money-call/FOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallfishbusinesscoach/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smallfishau

In this episode of the Less Insurance Dependence Podcast, Naren Arulrajah and Don Adeesha discuss why traditional practice growth strategies like word of mouth referrals and insurance-based patient flow are no longer enough in today's competitive dental landscape. They explore how insurance dependence often conditions patients to expect minimal or "free" dentistry, limiting both profitability and clinical fulfillment. The conversation highlights how modern referrals now happen online through Google reviews, SEO visibility, and digital trust signals. Naren shares why marketing is not about replacing referrals, but about becoming the practice patients can easily find, trust, and choose. If you are ready to attract ideal patients, reduce PPO reliance, and grow with intention, this episode offers practical insights and a clear path forward.

Philippians 2:5 (NIV) “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:”Rely is the PROVING ground for trust in a marriage—and thePREREQUISITE for commitment in dating.Someone else CANNOT complete you. ONLY Jesus can.Colossians 2:8–10 (NLT) “Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.”The more you turn to Jesus to meet your DEEPEST NEEDS, the more capable you'll be to meet your spouse's ACTUAL NEEDS.Genesis 2:18 (NIV) “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'”DATING:Be careful not to RUSH too quickly to RELY on someone before you KNOW and TRUST them.If you don't HEAL from your past, it's really hard to have HEALTH in your future.How do you know, while dating, if you can rely on someone in marriage?Watch carefully the other person's RECIPROCITY (GIVE/TAKE).What you experience in dating is the CEILING for marriage.Matthew 19:5 (NIV) “‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'”“Woman without her man is nothing.”“Woman, without her, man is nothing.”“Woman without her man, is nothing.”MARRIED:DISTANCE between spouses is where SATAN likes to set up shop.In your marriage, you will always make BETTER decisions TOGETHER than you do apart.Proverbs 15:22 (NIV) “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”Romans 12:4-5 Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So we belong to each other, and each needs all the others.You cannot live the LIFE God wants for you if you live it INDEPENDENT of others.Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT) “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.

Why does resting feel harder than training?If you've ever taken a rest day and felt uneasy instead of relaxed… like you were falling behind, being lazy, or doing something “wrong,” this episode is for you.In this conversation, I break down why rest triggers guilt for so many high-achieving women—especially those who train consistently, care deeply about their health, and tie effort to self-worth. This isn't an episode telling you to “just rest more.” It's about understanding why rest feels unsafe in the first place, and how that conditioning quietly works against your body.Inside this episode:• Why rest feels like failure instead of neutrality• How discipline became tied to identity (and why that matters)• The stress → guilt → fatigue loop that makes fat loss harder• Why cortisol doesn't respond to willpower• How to teach your nervous system that rest is safe again• What “disciplined recovery” actually looks like in practice• Why calm consistency beats reactive intensity every timeThis episode is especially relevant if you:– Train regularly but struggle to fully rest– Feel guilty on rest days or low-intensity days– Rely on effort as proof you're “on track”– Are stuck in a push–crash cycle– Want results without living in constant pressureRest isn't the opposite of discipline. It's a different expression of it.If this resonates, take a moment after listening to reflect on your last rest day, not what you did, but how your body reacted. Awareness is the first step toward changing the pattern.If you want help building a training and nutrition system where recovery is built in by design—and progress doesn't depend on constant pressure—that's the work I do.Subscribe for more conversations on training, physiology, identity, and sustainable progress for high-performing women.BEcoming Relentless IG: @becomingrelentless_Elenoa McCabe IG: @noamccabe_ifbbpro#becomingrelentlessBEcoming Relentless — new episodes weekly.Find me on IG: @noamccabe_ifbbpro.BEcoming Relentless IG: @becomingrelentless_.If you are interested in working with me, I am looking for new athletes, general lifestyle clients, and contest prep competitors.

Common questions on this age old topic: ⁃ Why is sin so tempting? ⁃ Why do I do things I don't want to do? ⁃ How can I conquer temptation? ⁃ Where can I find strength to resist? ⁃ Why is this so difficult? Genesis 3:1-7 - First sin in the Bible. But prior to sin, Adam and Eve were in a time of blissful innocence. A perfect creation, perfect relationship with God, perfect relationship with each other. No death, no sorrow, no pain, but that would change once sin came. Who is the serpent in Genesis 3:1? We find the answer in Revelation 12:9 "The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray." Satan is a Hebrew word meaning - the adversary, the enemy. And the serpent takes on the form of a serpent. We read what Jesus says about the devil in John 8:44 that the devil "was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." Satan's Garden Strategy ⁃ Doubt God's Word - Genesis 3:1 the devil says to Eve "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" The devil plants doubt. Eve replies in Genesis 3:2-3 that they could eat fruit from the trees except not from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, lest they would die. ⁃ Deny the consequences - Then the devil replies in Genesis 3:4 "'You will not certainly die,' the serpent said to the woman." The devil moves her toward denying the consequences. ⁃ Deify ourselves - The devil continues in Genesis 3:5 "'For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'" We want to be in control instead of allow God to be. Then we read in Genesis 3:6 "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her and he ate it." From this we learn that temptation comes with: Passion - I want things that I like and that look good Pleasure - I want things that give me joy and comfort Pride - I want to be in control 1 John 2:16 we read, "For everything in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - does not come from the Father but from the world." Our story continues in Genesis 3:7 "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made a covering for themselves." They now understood good and evil, their eyes were opened to evil and they had shame, sorrow, loss, pain, suffering, guilt. Sin took away their blissful innocence. What happened next? Then we read in Genesis 3:21 "The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them." What does this tell us? It tells us that sin brought death to an innocent victim - an animal was slain - and it shows us sin has a consequence - Sin must be paid for by an innocent victim - and this is a foreshadowing of the Lamb of God - Jesus - who would lay down His life on a cross for us, because we all have fallen for the devil's garden strategy. 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." Confronting Temptation: ⁃ Remember Jesus, who He is and what He did - 2 Timothy 2:8 We are to keep our eyes focused on Jesus ⁃ Resist the devil and he will flee from you - James 4:7 ⁃ Run from temptation and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace - 2 Timothy 2:22 ⁃ Replace our focus on the things that destroy with the things that build us up. We are not to focus on the things that are tempting, but rather we should focus on what God's word says. Let His word take root in our lives because God's word give us power and strength, direction and guidance- Psalm 119:11 ⁃ Rely on the Holy Spirit who leads us to faith and brings to mind the teachings of Jesus - Romans 8:6 Pastor closes with a beautiful hymn that his mother taught him.

HEADLINE: Strategic Vulnerabilities and the Path to a 456-Ship Fleet GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Hendrix identifies critical economic vulnerabilities in China and Russia, noting that both regimes rely heavily on sea lanes for energy and food, making them susceptible to naval interdiction. To maintain deterrence, he proposes a future fleet of 456 ships. This expansion relies on a pivot to unmanned surface vessels to control costs and the addition of 60 frigates for global presence. Hendrix also warns that the Navy must urgently replace retiring guided-missile submarines and expand the logistics force, as combatant ships cannot operate effectively without a robust train of supply vessels.1888 NAVAL GUN
