Mike Johnson and Beau Morgan let you hear Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Raheem Morris talk about how the coaching shuffles they made with TJ Yates and Zac Robinson both being on the field helped the team get a win versus the Washington Commanders, react to what Coach Morris had to say, and explain why they think Zac Robinson should rely on his offensive staff in the booth to tell him what adjustments and looks the opposing defense are giving the offense that way he can stay on the field.

Chris Versace says the government shutdown is putting a "crimp" on the volume of data investors and traders typically rely on for economic performance. He says the ISM reports are a "treasure trove" and believes investors need to be more fluid when it comes to triangulating data sources. Looking ahead, he thinks the upcoming earnings season will be very important and provide a "litmus test" for the current rally. Chris adds commentary on the latest retail shopping events competing between Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT) and Amazon (AMZN).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Art Forester from Hudson, WI. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 7:1–3. Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.' Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home and hurry away from Mount Gilead.'" Then 22,000 of the people returned, and 10,000 remained. — Judges 7:1-3 So the Israelite army wakes up early, camped at the spring of Harod. Just across the valley, Midian's massive force waits. Every soldier counts — at least, that's what Gideon must have thought. But God sees the situation differently than Gideon does. He tells Gideon, "You have too many men." Too many? Against an army so large it can't be counted? Yes. God knows the danger isn't the size of the enemy — it's the pride in Israel's heart. If they win with a big enough army, they'll think they did it themselves. So God orders a cut. Anyone who is afraid can leave. And just like that, 22,000 soldiers pack up and head home. Gideon is left with less than a third of what he started with. The odds just got worse — and exactly how God wanted them. God will sometimes strip away the resources, people, or security you thought you needed — not to punish you, but to purify your faith. When he reduces what you rely on, it's because he wants you to rely on him. It is uncomfortable. It feels unsafe. But if our confidence rests in our numbers, connections, or abilities, then our faith isn't in God — it's in ourselves. So has God been reducing your resources lately? When God reduces our resources, he is often removing our false sense of control that we've been clinging to. Sometimes we don't even know we are clinging to it, so we resist the reduction. But fewer options force deeper faith. Less human advantage means more room for divine intervention. The question is, when God starts reducing your "resources," will you see it as a setback… or as the setup for him to show his power? ASK THIS: Where has God been cutting back your resources or support lately? How could that reduction be preparing you to trust Him more? What false securities might He be removing from your life? Are you willing to face a harder battle if it means God gets the glory? DO THIS: Identify one area where you've been depending on your own strength. Release it to God today and pray for faith to trust him with the outcome. PRAY THIS: Father, when You take away what I think I need, help me see it as Your way of drawing me closer to You. Strip away my pride and replace it with deeper trust in Your power. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Strip It All Away."

Response: Repent And Rely

I once heard a story that I would like to share with you and then I would like to follow it up with a question. A man is on death row for murder, the day of his execution has come, and you have been invited to spend 30 minutes with the man. You ask the man if he is guilty; his answer seems sincere and heartfelt: It was years ago when I committed that crime, but it is true that I am guilty of murder. He continues to explain how year after year he and his lawyers have tried to appeal his death sentence, but all his appeals have failed. Now his only hope is the small chance his lawyers may be able to get the court, or even the governor, to agree to a stay of execution. Just before your 30 minutes are up the man learns that there will be no stay of execution and within the next hour, he will die by lethal injection. You decide to stay to see if by some chance a reprieve might be granted. The time of execution arrives, and the man is ushered to the room where he will be executed. He passes by as you watch, and through his loud sobs, you hear the man repeat, I am so sorry, I am so sorry! I am so sorry! My question for you is this: Is the man sorry that he took the life of another human, or is he sorry that he will never be able to murder again? The account of the first family provides valuable insight into what genuine love for God and true worship look like. Following their disobedience in the garden, God gave Adam and Eve a promise: a Descendanta seed who would come to defeat and destroy the deceiver who had led them astray. Their reaction to Gods promise in the midst of their failure becomes a powerful example of repentance and worship. To truly grasp what led Cain to kill his brother, we must first consider how Adam and Eve responded to Gods assurance and what it reveals about the heart of repentance and worship. Before Adam and Eves sin, they were commanded to fill the earth with children and not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The two trees in the center of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Every day that Adam and his wife passed by those trees, they were given the option to choose life and blessing by eating from the tree of life, or to choose death and cursing by disobeying God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As you know, they chose death and cursing. After God found them, His promise of good news to the couple was that One would come through their decedents who would crush the serpent. Their response to their sin and Gods promise is found in Genesis 3:20 - 4:1, and it was beautiful! Adam named his wife Eve which means mother of all the living. Gods response after Adam named his wife was to cover them with animal skins, which means that God shed the blood of an animal to cover their shame. God then sent them out of the Garden which was the consequence of their sin and the new reality of the curse they would now live under. Then, even after they were no longer permitted to live in the garden, Adam and Eve responded in faith to the promise of God by finally choosing to have children with the birth of Cain and then Abel; when she gave birth to Cain, Eve said, I have obtained a male child with the help of the Lord. The expectation Adam and Eve had for their son Cain was one of hope, filled with dreams that they also shared for Abel. When it came to the worship of Yahweh, Cain brought a portion from his labors from the ground while Abel brought the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions in worship to the Lord. What this tells us is that Adam and Eve shared the stories of their God with their two sons; they also instructed them in the way they were to worship God out of thanksgiving and reverence that all that they had was from the Lord. Both Adam and Eve understood that the Deliverer promised to them would either be one of their sons or one who would come by way of the sons of their children. Although Cain and Abel grew up in the same household, raised by the same parents, and taught the same values, their lives and choices could not have been more different. Cain chose to work the soil as a farmer, while Abel became a shepherd, tending flocks (4:2). There was nothing wrong with Cains occupation, nor was his offering itself unacceptable. The real issue lay in the condition of Cains heartspiritually, his attitude and motivation before God was deeply flawed. Worship is More than What You Do The offering that Cain and Abel brought to the Lord was their way of thanking God; it was their way of worshiping Him for all the good that He brought into their lives through their respective occupations. Cain was a farmer, so he brought the produce of His work to God not because God needed it, but as a way of worshiping Him. Abel was a shepherd, so he brought a portion of his labor before the Lord as an offering. In verse three we are told that Cain brought his offering, In the course of time.. which is probably a reference to the end of the agricultural season. So, this was not the first time Cain or Abel worshiped God through their respective offerings. Abels offering was that of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. The reason for the detail here is that Abels offering was thought out, carefully prepared, and the best of what he had to offer God, while Cains offering was not. The point is that Cain came to God on his own terms, while Abel came to God on Gods terms. Cains offering was motivated out of obligation and duty, while Abels was motivated by reverence and love. We know Abels offering was motivated by his love and reverence of God for two reasons: First, according to verse 5, but for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So Cain was very angry and his face was gloomy. The second reason is found in Hebrews 11:4, By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. What I find amazing about this story is that God did not ridicule Cain for his half-hearted worship, but instead instructed him as to how his offering could be accepted just like his brothers was: If you do well, will your face not be cheerful? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it (v. 7). Worship is a Matter of the Heart Abel worshiped God as one who understood who he himself was in light of who God is (Abel was poor in spirit), he understood that his only righteousness was to be found in God (he mourned over his sins), and his offering came out of a spirit of humility before God (Abel was meek). For Abel, worship was not a duty, but a delight. Cains response to Gods favor for Abel over himself reveals everything we need to know about the man. He first responded in anger (Cain believed what he had was enough), Cain did not listen to God (he did not see his sin for what it was), he was jealous of his brothers relationship with God (Cains pride was wounded). Instead of repenting, Cain chose to murder his brother instead! Cain had the opportunity to respond to God's displeasure with genuine repentance and humility, seeking forgiveness. Rather than mastering his sin, Cain allowed it to dominate him, channeling his rage into a tragic act: Cain talked to his brother Abel; and it happened that when they were in the field Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him (v. 8). The beast that God warned Cain about was not sitting at the door of his heart, it was lurking within his heart! Faced with a choice between life and death, Cain chose death by taking his brother's life. The profound tragedy of Cain's actions lies in his motivationhe killed Abel not only out of anger, but because Abel's devotion reminded him of the holiness of God. While Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in their desire to be like God, Cain murdered out of spite, resenting his brother's sincere worship of God. After Cain murdered his brother, God did not wait for Cain to confess; rather, He confronted Cain directly, asking, Where is Abel your brother? Cains reply, I do not know. Am I my brothers keeper? (v. 9), which reveals not just his guilt, but also his attempt to deceive God. Cain committed not only the act of murder but compounded his sin by lying to God. Despite having witnessed his parents experienceknowing that nothing can be hidden from GodCains response illustrates the irrationality of sin. He wrongly assumed his actions could be concealed from God and tried to cover them up with dishonesty. Where Adam shifted blame for his own wrongdoing, Cain chose to respond with outright deceit. Cains calloused answer to God regarding his brother is deafening. Yet the Lord approached Cain anyway: What have you done? The voice of your brothers blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brothers blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth (vv. 10-12). What Cain failed to consider was that although dirt covered the corpse of his murdered brother, the blood of Abel screamed for justice, and that is what God gave Cain. As is often the case with sin, Cains actions had lasting consequences on his relationships. Once able to nurture life from the soil, Cain now found the earth to be hostile toward him. Overwhelmed by the severity of his punishment, Cain lamented, My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you have driven me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me may kill me (vv. 13-14). What amazes me most about this story is that, even after Cain murdered his brother and responded to God with callousness and deceit, God still heard Cains desperate plea for mercy. Instead of abandoning him, God responded with unexpected grace: Then the LORD said to him, Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden (vv. 15-16). Ever since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, humanity's condition has not improved but has only deteriorated. The serpent tricked Adam and Eve into thinking they could be like God, but Cain escalated the rebellion by taking a lifesomething only God has the authority overwhen he murdered his brother. Just a few generations later, human wickedness intensified. By the time we come to Genesis 6, we see that the sin of Adam and Eve had infected every generation, spreading like a disease until Scripture declares, The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Gen. 6:5). Application I can hardly fathom the grief and devastation Adam and Eve felt upon discovering that their firstborn son had taken the life of his brother Abel. With Cain under judgment and Abel gone, Adam and Eve were left childless, and the promise God made to them in the Garden must have seemed shattered and out of reach. Although Adam and Eves sin resulted in a curse, they ultimately experienced redemption, forgiveness, and the hope of salvation. In contrast, Cain was condemned to wander the earth under a curse, and his life was irrevocably changed. From Cains story, much like Adam and Eves, we discover that sin always comes at a high priceit never fulfills its promises, it destroys peace, brings shame, and robs the sinner of true joy. When darkness seemed to overwhelm and hope appeared lost under the weight of the curse, Adam and Eve conceived again and bore a third son and gave him the name Seth which means appointed. This time, Eves words reflected a shift in perspective: rather than saying she had a child with the help of the Lord, she instead said: God has appointed me another child in place of Abel, because Cain killed him (v. 25). With Seths birth, Scripture notes that people began to call upon the name of the Lord (v. 26). As S.A. Sacks observed, Hope rises like a phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams. From the brokenness of the first family, God brought forth hope once morespecifically, through Seth and the enduring promise of a Deliverer. The slaughter of Abel as an innocent representation of the God he served was a foreshadowing of the One who would come through the bloodline of Abels younger brother, Seth. Listen to Hebrews 12:24, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Abels shed blood screams for vengeance, while the innocent shed blood of Jesus screams forgiveness and complete atonement. Abels blood screams: Judgment! Jesus blood screams: Salvation! When Abels blood was shed, it stained the ground, because of Jesus blood being shed, our sin can be washed away so that we can be made righteous. When it comes to sin and temptation, the Bible says: But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death (Jas. 1:14-15). How does one master sin? The story of Cain provides us with three principles that will help us fight against our own sin in a way that Cain failed to do: Recognize that victory over sin begins in your mind. The battle against sin is first foughtand wonwithin your mind. Fill your thoughts with Gods Word to build a strong line of defense (2 Cor. 10:4-6). Remember, you are never trapped by your sin where there is no escape from it; God always provides a way out. Just as He offered Cain an escape, God offers you one toodont cling to the temptation by lingering before it. (1 Cor. 10:13). Run to Jesus, your Deliverer. When temptation strikes, turn immediately to Jesus. Fill your mind with His words, seek His redemption instead of dwelling in the shame of your failure (Heb. 12:1-2) Rely on the Holy Spirits strengthnot your ownto overcome sin. Because Jesus defeated sin and death, you can experience genuine freedom. He has given you the Holy Spirit to equip and empower you to live a victorious life in Him (Eph. 6:10-11). Before you this day are two trees. One is a tree that provides life, and it is the Cross of Christ. The other tree is one of death and cursing; it is the tree Cain chose. People who see you may not know what is going on in your heart and mind, but God sees it all! My appeal to you is to choose life by running to Jesus.

Because of the government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release its monthly unemployment and jobs survey today. But that's probably not a big deal to President Donald Trump, who has apparently decided that the best statistics are the ones that either say what he wants to hear, or are simply never heard at all.  The most expensive extreme weather events, which facilities are creating the most pollution, quarterly reports, incidents of domestic terrorism, the number of people who need food assistance…these are all statistics Americans need to know. And these are all forms of data under attack by the Trump administration. And this started long before the shutdown. America has been a world leader at collecting data on everything from the number of bison living in Plains states to the divorce rate – but our data supremacy might be coming to an end. And that's really, really bad, for reasons we might not even know yet. So to find out more about the stats we're losing, and what else we're losing in the process, we spoke to Denice Ross. She's a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists and former U.S. Chief Data Scientist for the Biden administration.And in headlines, President Donald Trump determines the US is in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, the Trump administration punishes a slew of blue states by cancelling nearly $8-billion in grants for their clean energy projects, and the lastest update in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, or someone reinventing yourself, the way you think about innovation will shape your future. Innovation isn't about guessing or chasing shiny ideas. It's about having a process, the right tools, and the discipline to test, learn, and scale what creates value. In this episode, I sit down with Alex Osterwalder—one of the world's most influential strategy and innovation thinkers, inventor of the Business Model Canvas, bestselling author, and CEO of Strategyzer. Alex has changed how the world approaches business design. Millions of entrepreneurs and leaders use his tools to innovate with clarity instead of chaos. We dive deep into the fundamental mistakes both large corporations and startups make: falling in love with ideas, building too much too fast, and only later discovering customers don't care.  Perhaps most valuable is Alex's framework for balancing core business operations ("exploit") with future-focused innovation ("explore"). This practical approach helps organizations avoid the common trap of applying existing business rules to innovation projects—a mistake that almost guarantees failure. Whether you're leading a Fortune 500 company, building a startup, or reinventing your own career, this episode offers actionable insights to make innovation less of a gamble and more of a repeatable process. What You'll Learn From Volleyball to Strategy: How Alex's unlikely journey shaped his obsession with creating and simplifying tools for business. Why Business Plans Fail: The origin of the Business Model Canvas and why structure beats guesswork. AI & Innovation: What AI changes (everything) and what it doesn't (the fundamentals). Portfolio Thinking: Why great companies run many small bets, kill weak ones fast, and scale the winners. Avoiding Zombie Projects: How to spot and stop initiatives that drain resources but deliver no evidence of value. Systems, Not Slogans: Why excitement isn't enough—innovation needs the right structures, incentives, and processes to thrive. Personal Success Strategy: Alex's reflections on what success means beyond growth and money, and why defining your own metrics of success is essential.

Welcome to the Modern Automotive Marketing Podcast . We're talking full-funnel strategies, predictive insights, and real-world tactics that help dealers win in today's market. In this episode, Justin Friend and I discuss why dealers can't rely on Google and Facebook alone. We explore why dealers fight for the bottom 3% in-market buyers while ignoring the 97% top of funnel buyers.

Did you know that the service workers who load baggage, clean cabins, assist passengers with disabilities, and help avert safety risks on the tarmac generate 30% of airport revenue? They're not pilots or TSA agents—but they're essential to every airport's rhythm. A new GAO report profiles how well this group is doing economically. Here to break down the findings is Acting Director in GAO's Physical Infrastructure team, Danielle Giese.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I'm joined again by my co-host, Demetrius (“D") Parker, as we continue our Coworker Chemistry series. Last time, we looked at the high-energy types (3, 7, and 8). This week, we shift gears to talk about another powerful trio: Types 1, 2, and 6, commonly known as the dutiful types.These three strategies bring such a strong sense of responsibility and group cohesion to their work and teams, though they each express it in different ways. In our conversation, we covered:Type 1 (Striving to Feel Perfect): integrity, high standards, and the pressure of an inner critic.Type 2 (Striving to Feel Connected): empathy, connection, and the challenge of people-pleasing.Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure): loyalty, risk-awareness, and the courage it takes to ask hard questions.We also dig into how these types can complement one another, where they might clash, and what growth looks like for each...from turning “the way” into “a way,” to setting clear boundaries, to transforming fear into collaboration.Whether you identify with a 1, 2, or 6 (or work with someone who does), I think you'll find this episode full of both practical insights and real-life examples you can take back to your team.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe strengths and blind spots of Types 1, 2, and 6.Why these types are often the backbone of teams.Stories and analogies (including the “Mafia boss” and the six's “BS meter”) that bring these strategies to life.Practical tips for collaboration, leadership, and personal growth.And stay tuned! Our next episode will cover the remaining group: Types 4, 5, and 9.D and I both facilitate workshops on behalf of Enneagram MBA.

President Trump wants a new census that excludes undocumented immigrants and reflects post-election data. But experts say such a change would require congressional approval and disrupt years of planning for the 2030 count. Here to consider whether the proposal is even feasible and how it could reshape the $2.8 trillion in federal funding tied to census data are Meeta Anand and Howard Feinberg. Ms. Anand is Senior Director, Census and Data Equity, at The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. Mr. Feinberg is co-director of The Census Project and Senior VP for Advocacy at the Insights Association.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Carl and Mike come back with more Falcons talk and react to Drake London being in practice on Wednesday which they agree was good to hear and see, however whether or not London will be able to take contact will still need to be known. As they discuss, they share thoughts on why they believe the Falcons will need London and Darnell Mooney, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury since training camp, to be available to have a real opportunity to win Sunday. They then share thoughts on comments by Zac Robinson as he explained why the Falcons rely on the pistol formation to keep offense balanced. :20 – Carl and Mike

Backed by data from Two Brain and Push Press, they reveal why the most profitable gyms invest in ads and why ignoring churn rates keeps gyms stuck.Key InsightsMentor companies often discourage paid ads, but data shows top-performing gyms use them.Churn rates of 3–5% make organic-only growth unsustainable.Paid marketing isn't optional, it's the key to breaking past the 150-member ceiling.Franchises like Orange Theory and F45 prove paid ads work by investing heavily in them.Data-driven decisions outperform generic advice every time.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Mentor Companies and Paid Ads01:55 Challenges Faced by Gym Owners07:25 Data-Driven Insights on Gym Growth11:47 The Role of Franchises in Marketing34:00 The Impact of Marketing Funnel Stages34:12 The Importance of Data and Evidence34:27 The Evolution of Fitness Marketing34:43 The Role of Mentor Companies in Gym Growth35:26 The Importance of Staying InformedCall to ActionIf you've felt stuck at the same membership numbers, this episode is a reminder that growth requires more than referrals and organic reach.

If every new hire feels like it hijacks your entire month, this episode is for you. Today on Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to create a structured onboarding system that removes you from the center without removing your presence. Because if you're still doing 90 percent of the onboarding work yourself, you're not just overwhelmed. You're the bottleneck. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why onboarding feels overwhelming and why that's actually a systems issue [01:00] The Real Problem – Leaders treating onboarding like a one-week event instead of a repeatable system [02:00] Introducing the 4P Framework – People, Process, Playbook, Personalization [03:00] P1: People Assign ownership for tech, CRM, marketing, culture, support Move from shared ownership to clear ownership Use peer mentors and onboarding coordinators [03:30] P2: Process Map out day 1 through day 90 Use tools like CRMs, Trello, shared docs to organize the flow Filter every step through these questions: Does this build clarity? Confidence? Connection? [04:30] P3: Playbook Document what you say and do so others can repeat it Include logins, workflows, rhythm calendars, and short videos When it's not written, it's not real [05:30] P4: Personalization Welcome notes, calls, gift boxes, and personal check-ins Structure creates consistency, personalization creates belief [06:30] The Pushback – You say you don't have time to build this. But you don't have time not to. [07:00] Start Small – Use your next hire to document everything you already do [08:00] Beyond Tasks – Onboarding is not just about information. It's about belief Did I make the right decision? Do I belong here? Can I trust this team? [08:30] Final Challenge – Build a 30-day onboarding play. Start with what you already do, then improve it Key Takeaways If You're Doing It All, You're the Bottleneck – Scale happens when systems replace memory Structure Doesn't Kill Culture – The right systems free you up to lead with presence Clarity Creates Confidence – Documented onboarding builds momentum faster than ad hoc training Don't Just Transfer Knowledge – Transfer belief, identity, and purpose Use Every Hire to Improve the Process – Each round gives you a better playbook for the next one The best leaders don't just recruit well. They onboard with purpose. They build systems that scale their time, protect their culture, and create confident, connected team members from day one. Need help creating an onboarding system that reflects your leadership and scales with your growth? Subscribe to my weekly email at 4crecruiting.com or book a session at bookrichardnow.com. Let's remove you as the bottleneck and build a system that lasts.

In this episode, I share why I had to build a business that doesn't rely on me being in the center of everything. Back when I was scaling to 6 figures, I thought the only way to grow was to do it all myself, serving clients, creating content, and running the backend of my business. But what it really led to was burnout. I realized if I wanted freedom and sustainability, I had to step out of the weeds and create a business model that worked without me. Inside this episode, you'll hear: How I created a life-first business model that works around my family obligations. The systems and team support I put in place to stop doing everything myself. How I use AI in my agency so my team can create content for my brand.

Between AI Overviews, zero-click results, and the rise of LLMs like ChatGPT and Perplexity, traditional search isn't what it used to be. » Learn more at https://justcreative.com/podcast In this episode, we're joined by Mordy Oberstein, a leading voice in SEO, to break down what these changes mean for brand builders, marketers, and strategists alike.

Veteran astrologer and Mystical Messages host Hilary Harley outlines what to expect cosmically during September 2025.  After an energetically calm month in August, September wastes no time making waves with the final two eclipses of the year.  The first eclipse occurs on Sunday, September 7th.  A Full Moon Lunar eclipse in Pisces and Virgo pushes us to surrender what we cannot control.  Rely on wellness and work practices to manage what unfolds, especially as Change Agent Uranus turns retrograde right before this eclipse.  Expect the unexpected.  This is not necessarily negative; however, Virgo is about efficiency and will streamline your life by clearing any one or any facet that is not working in your best interests.  The Full Moon in Pisces calls us to dream, plan, prepare, surrender.  Repeat.  The second eclipse occurs on Sunday, September 21st.  On the eve of the Fall Equinox, this New Moon Solar eclipse occurs at the final degree of Virgo, emphasizing healthy routines for body, mind and soul.  As the Sun enters Libra on Monday the 22nd, you are invited to bring balance, peace, harmony and beauty into your life.  Remember to factor in your own needs with those of all others around you.   To reach Hilary Harley: www.hilaryharley.com http://www.hilaryharley.com/ Hilary@hilaryharley.com Facebook:  hilary harley. https://www.facebook.com/hilary.harley.3 hilary harley astrology https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057501487642  holistic healing https://www.facebook.com/hilaryharley714 Instagram:  hilary.harley https://www.instagram.com/hilary.harley

Daniel & Shawn dive into Remitly, the digital remittance platform aiming to disrupt a $2 trillion global market. After years of prioritizing customer acquisition and corridor expansion over profits, Remitly is now approaching a critical inflection point, one where scale, margin leverage, and cash generation could unlock a new phase of investor confidence. But there are risks as well: crypto-native challengers, regulatory uncertainty, and broader concerns about the remittance industry all raise the question of whether the upside is worth the risk. Here, they unpack Remitly's moat, including its direct payout network, risk engine, and customer trust, and assess whether these factors are enough to fend off cheaper, faster payment rails, such as stablecoins. They walk through the company's unit economics and what the valuation model implies under both steady-state and high-growth scenarios. Along the way, they compare Remitly's customer lock-in strategy to Booking.com, examine the remittance corridor dynamics in India, the Philippines, and Latin America, and debate whether this is a misunderstood fintech with enduring staying power or a product ripe for crypto disruption. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 01:08 – How the remittance market works 01:50 – Why Western Union struggles to compete with Remitly 02:16 – Why and how Remitly was founded 04:48 – What risks Remitly faces 05:01 – How stablecoins could disrupt the remittance industry 11:34 – What competitive advantages Remitly has 17:16 – What digital-first companies compete with Remitly 24:37 – Why scale is everything in the payments sector 27:56 – Whether Remitly is attractively valued at its current levels 29:27 – Whether Shawn & Daniel add RELY to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Episode 2677- Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss questioning the reasons behind slower weight loss for women, lab-grown meat, and fitness trackers. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/questioning-the-reasons-episode-2677 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Questioning the Reasons Vinnie is learning a lot about making kombucha. (3:00) He has discovered that he can reduce the sugar in it and still maintain great flavor. Reasons for women losing weight slower than men, even on a ketogenic diet. (9:00) Frontiers in Nutrition gathered the metadata, and this is what they found. Testosterone makes it easier to mobilize fat. Variations in the hormonal biochemistry occur in most women, making losing weight a larger challenge. (15:00) Low-carb/keto still works for women, but can be at a different rate, so consistency is key. Lab-grown meat. (21:00) They discuss the difference between lab-grown and fake meat (like Impossible Burger). They discuss the marketing and messaging behind the motivation. Climate change is a motivation, and they discuss inconsistencies in the argument. (28:00) Lab-grown meat still contains chemicals and would challenge the environment for different reasons. (37:00) The definition of an “ultra-processed” food: lab-grown and imitation meat qualify as this. You can watch Vinnie's documentary “Beyond Impossible” to learn more. (42:00) Fitness trackers. Vinnie isn't always a huge fan, but if it keeps people active and cognizant of their goals, he's fine with them. (44:00) The unfortunate thing is that they are not always accurate. They don't always work well for obese people, and the algorithm was designed based on thin, healthier people. (46:00) Don't get mad at the companies, just don't make yourself dependent on trackers. Rely on yourself! They discuss examples of what they mean by this. It's also not great to become obsessed with the data. That can have its downside as well.
