In this episode, the guys unpack Proverbs 5-7, where Solomon exhorts his sons to pursue sexual wisdom. Where does sexual folly lead? How do I become sexually wise? Listen and find out.We are continuing our study in the book of Proverbs. In 2026, if there is any area that we need wisdom it is in the area of sexuality. When you look around at the world, there is massive confusion in this area. But Proverbs gives us clarity. It diagnoses sexual folly and tells us where that leads. And then it reveals sexual wisdom.Topics covered:- Ben birdied three of his last four at the Champions Tour in South Dakota- Presidents Cup preview and a brand new PGA Tour event in Asheville, NC- Mailbag: how to play well in tournament rounds, and how to pursue your future wife in a godly way- The forbidden woman represents any sexual activity or temptation to any sexual activity outside of the relationship between a man and a woman in the covenant of marriage- The downward spiral of sexual folly: Draws, Dependence, Distortion, Damage, and Destruction- For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil (Proverbs 5:3)- The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin (Proverbs 5:22-23)- Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?

Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. (Proverbs 5:18-19)- Sex is like fire. In the fireplace it keeps us warm. Outside the fireplace it burns down the house.Follow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Jason Lax, senior SEO and AI expert at SAP with nearly two decades of search experience now leading AEO and GEO strategy, breaks down why declining traffic volume can mask rising engagement quality. He details how to layer conversion data and engagement dimensions alongside session counts to distinguish true visibility loss from a healthier, higher-intent traffic mix, and outlines the metric framework enterprise teams need as AI reshapes the top of the funnel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We begin this episode with a few event reminders. Coming up on Thursday, September 17 is our latest free virtual event, When Not to Rely on AI. If possible, AI is an even bigger hot-button topic than ever in the news cycle, and while we feel there are positives, this event focuses heavily on the negative aspects of AI and how it affects us, what it does poorly, and what it doesn’t do at all. We’ll share stories, examples, and open it up for your thoughts, too. Visit this link to register your free seat. If you can’t come live, please save the seats for those who can attend. The event will be recorded and put up on our free downloads site ASAP. We’re super excited to be offering an event on GPS the following week. Chris has finally agreed to put his 20+ years of GPS knowledge into an event that anyone can enjoy. Whether you’re scared of GPS, new to it, stressed by it, or just curious about it, this event will answer many questions, provide lots of vocabulary, and give you a better idea of how GPS works and what it can and cannot do for you. This is a two-session paid event; the second session will exclusively be Q&A from participants. We’ve kept it super affordable so almost anyone can learn with us. Learn more and register at this link. Chris introduces a great new site feature for existing customers; you can now tell when you’ve purchased an item right on the page. For those who are interested in our You’ve Got YouTubbe event, but missed it love, we’re happy to share that it’s now available to everyone as a product on the site, complete with even more audio content as well as a written resouce document. Check it out here. Finally, we discuss Patreon and take a quick tour of the iOS version of the app. The website is also very intuitive and simple to use. Purchasing a Patreon membership is a nice way to say a monetary “Thank you” to those creators who offer the service, and it’s easier to use Patreon than you may think. Thanks, as always, for listening! We’ll talk with you again at the end of September!

Are you one of the 70% of Americans who don't have an end-of-life plan? If you don't have a plan, the state of California has one for you, and it's called probate court.

In this episode, Attorney Naz Barouti shares the importance of having a plan in place to protect your family's future.

Naz shares his expertise on creating a comprehensive end-of-life plan, including a revocable trust, pour-over will, financial power of attorney, and medical power of attorney.

Of all the people we look to for guidance, expertise, counsel, and help, where do we figure into the equation? Are we a self we also rely on for guidance? This could sound like an elementary concept, but I find people more and more falling into two distinct sides: relying too much on themselves, or not relying on themselves at all. I feel I have spent much of my life relying too much just on me. Trusting myself more than anyone else and not getting enough helpful guidance and help from others. But in today's culture of influencers and leaders and now AI, I concern myself that we may be coming to a place of relying on the counsel of everyone and everything other than ourselves. So I'm bringing back a discussion with Ajit Nawalkha. Ajit is a renowned coach with a big pedigree. He was the former CEO at Mindvalley and is now co-founder of Mindvalley Coach. Mindvalley has 20 million members in 125 countries. I sat down with Ajit a couple years ago to discuss his concept of self-coaching, and I think it brings a valuable paradigm shift to the crux of not being totally independent, but also not being totally dependent on others. But finding a balance of interdependence where you are a main guide in your own life.

Have you ever been disappointed by a missed opportunity, only to later realize it protected you from a greater setback? Often, we grieve closed doors because we cannot see what lies beyond them.In Acts 16:6, Paul and his team were forbidden by the Holy Spirit from preaching in Asia. This closed door redirected them to Macedonia, where a significant breakthrough awaited. When God says “no,” trust that He sees the future and protects you from harm. Rely on His guidance for your life.Learn how to transform closed doors into purpose in my book, “Repurposing Rejection,” available now on Amazon.Subscribe for daily faith inspiration, and comment “AMEN” if you trust God's redirection.#RepurposingRejection #Acts166 #GodsRedirection #TrustGodsPlan #FaithInspiration #DivineProtection #ClosedDoors

A Little Admin, a Near Kitchen Disaster, GPS, AI, and Getting Structured! In other words, there’s a lot going on in Mystic Access Land this time around! We’re sharing several important announcements, talking about a serious AI-related experience that nearly led to a kitchen nightmare, previewing upcoming events, and wrapping things up with a look at a handy app designed to help get your day—and your tasks—under control. Yes, it’s a bit of a smorgasbord. Grab a snack and settle in! A Heads-Up About Physical Media For years, Mystic Access has offered the option of purchasing audio documentation on physical media, including SD cards, USB flash drives, data CDs, and NLS cartridges at an additional cost. Recently, however, the cost of physical media has been climbing dramatically. Chris recently found an SD card selling for roughly double what he was accustomed to paying for the same size and class of card—and decided that price was simply too high. We don’t want to pass unreasonable prices along to you. Nothing is changing right now, but if prices continue to rise and we can no longer obtain SD cards and flash drives at reasonable prices, we may temporarily stop offering physical media until prices come back down. We know that isn’t ideal for those who find it inconvenient to transfer digital downloads to physical media themselves. However, we’d rather give you the option of purchasing the documentation digitally and getting assistance putting it on media you already own than charge you an outrageous amount for the media itself. We think that’s better for you—and better for your wallet. We’re sharing this now so there are no surprises, particularly as we get closer to the holiday season. An Update on You’ve Got YouTube Our recent You’ve Got YouTube event turned out to be even bigger than we originally planned! The sales copy estimated approximately two and a half hours of content. As it turns out, the event contains more than four hours of material. We even extended the event by an additional week so we could spend time answering participants’ questions. Registration for the live event is now closed, but we’re not finished with it yet. We’ll be adding even more content, including questions from the live attendees, and turning You’ve Got YouTube into a product that anyone can purchase. Interested? There’s currently a wait list on the event page. Sign up, and you’ll be among the first to know when the finished product becomes available! A New Free Download: Our Library Event Have you visited Mystic Access Downloads lately? Our June virtual event about local libraries and the services they offer is now available as a free download! We discuss the amazing resources your local library may have available, including services such as Libby and Hoopla, which can make it possible to enjoy ebooks, audiobooks, and other materials from the comfort of home. If you weren’t able to join us live—or simply want to revisit the discussion—be sure to check it out. And while you’re there, take some time to explore. There are hundreds of hours of free audio material waiting for you! When AI Nearly Caused a Kitchen Nightmare Now for a much more serious topic. We recently had an experience in which a faulty AI response nearly led to something going very wrong in the kitchen. AI can be useful. It can save time, provide ideas, and help answer questions. But it can also be wrong. Very wrong. We share what happened, what nearly went wrong, and why this experience was an important reminder that there are situations in which blindly trusting an AI response can have serious consequences. Free Event Coming Soon: When Not to Rely on AI Our kitchen experience leads directly into our next free virtual event, open to everyone. When Not to Rely on AI will explore some of the problems that can arise when AI gives incorrect, incomplete, or otherwise unreliable information. While AI can be a fantastic tool in some circumstances. In others, it can create more work—or potentially more serious problems. We’ll discuss questions such as: * When do you find AI genuinely useful? * When do you find yourself correcting it? * When have you had to clean up after an AI response? * When should you stop and look for another source of information, or just not use AI in the first place? We’ll also open the event up for plenty of group discussion. We don’t have an exact date yet, but we’ll announce it in our Events newsletter first and here on the podcast as soon as it’s scheduled. Look for it around the time of our next podcast episode in mid-September! Kim Finally Twists Chris’s Arm: A GPS Event Is Coming! For months, Kim has been trying to convince Chris to teach a class covering the basics of GPS. And at long last… She’s mostly succeeded. We’re planning an affordable, two-session event covering GPS basics. This won’t be a highly technical class. Instead, we’ll focus on helping clear up some of the confusion surrounding GPS and navigation. Topics will include: * What GPS is. * How GPS works. * What GPS can do. * What GPS can’t do. * What you can reasonably expect from navigation technology. * And much more. Chris has spent years working with, testing, and being involved in the GPS and accessible navigation industry, so we thought it was time to put some of that experience to good use! There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussion. This event takes place beginning September 22, and the second session is September 29. You can learn more and register your seat right away by visiting this page. Getting Your Day Organized With Structured After all those announcements, perhaps you’re wondering how to keep track of everything you need to do without feeling overwhelmed. Chris recently found an app that may help! Structured is a planner available for both iOS and Android, designed to help you organize your tasks and events into a manageable schedule. Kim takes us on a tour of the iOS version, with a particular focus on the Timeline tab and the many things you can accomplish there. During the demonstration, we: * Set up an event. * Explore the Timeline. * Take a brief look at the Inbox. * Check out the AI tab. * Visit the Settings tab. We’re excited about this neat organizational tool and hope you’ll enjoy learning more about what it can do. Thanks for Listening! Whew! That’s a lot of announcements, events, technology, AI, GPS, and general Mystic Access business to pack into one episode! Thanks, as always, for listening—and for sticking with us even when we throw a whole bunch of admin information your way. We’ll be back with more fun midway through the month. Have a wonderful September, and we’ll talk to you soon!

What does the way your attention moves across a crowded restaurant have to do with why civilizations collapse? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson opens where you'd least expect a talk about God to begin—with Richard Dawkins, a problem in cognitive science, and the uncomfortable fact that there are infinitely many true things you could attend to and only a handful you ever do. From there he moves through why you'll pay money to watch a villain on a screen, what a sleeping lion has to do with your paycheck, and why a man who spent seventy-five years in his father's tent was the one who finally got the invitation. What he's building toward isn't an argument for belief in the conventional sense, but something stranger and much harder to dismiss: that you have already placed the wager, every single time you decided what was worth looking at. The only question left is what you've been aiming at all along without admitting it. This lecture was filmed on March 4th, 2024, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Moses' Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day In this sermon, we explore the trials faced by Moses as described in Numbers 20. The narrative draws a parallel between Moses' challenges and the children's book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, emphasizing how cumulative adversities can lead to significant trials. The Context of Moses' Bad Day Moses, nearing the end of his journey with the Israelites, faces a series of overwhelming challenges: Miriam's Death: Miriam, Moses' sister and confidant, had recently passed away, adding personal grief to his burdens. The Israelites' Complaints: The people he led were discontented, questioning why Moses brought them to a barren land with no water. Proximity to the Promised Land: The Israelites were near the Promised Land, but the stress of the final stretch was palpable, leading to heightened tensions. The Key Scripture: Numbers 20:1-12 Numbers 20 details the specific events of this day. The Israelites, frustrated by the lack of water, confront Moses and Aaron with complaints. In response, God instructs Moses to speak to a rock to bring forth water. However, Moses, overwhelmed by anger, strikes the rock instead, disobeying God's command. Lessons on Anger and Obedience Anger Management: Moses' story underscores the danger of letting anger dictate actions. His anger led him to strike the rock, an act of disobedience that cost him entry into the Promised Land. Trust in God: The sermon emphasizes the need to trust in God's plan, even when circumstances seem out of control. Moses' failure was rooted in his inability to trust God fully in that moment. The Power of the Tongue: Referencing James 3:2, 5-6, the sermon highlights how the tongue can ignite great conflict. Moses' words, calling the Israelites "rebels," fanned the flames of his anger. Consequences of Disobedience: Despite God's grace in providing water, Moses faced consequences for his actions. This serves as a reminder that while God is gracious, obedience is crucial. Practical Applications Turn to God in Prayer: In moments of anger, seek God's guidance and strength to maintain control. Stay Quiet: Often, holding one's tongue can prevent the escalation of conflict and preserve relationships. Rely on God's Sovereignty: Trust that God is in control, even when life feels chaotic. Conclusion Moses' story in Numbers 20 serves as a powerful lesson on the importance of obedience, trust, and managing our emotions. As believers, we are encouraged to rely on God's grace and wisdom to navigate our own "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days." By doing so, we can avoid the pitfalls of anger and embrace the peace that comes from faith and obedience. For those seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ, the sermon concludes with an invitation to embrace Jesus as the "living water," offering hope and eternal life.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS discussion explored transactional keywords as the key to converting online searches into business results.

(SHOW OPEN): Giancarlo Stanton's latest setback could signal the end of his days as a Yankee and the Yankees will need to rely on two young players in his absence.

Chapters 1-12 the focus has been on the Jerusalem believers, Apostle Peter Chapter 13 and onward will be focused on the Apostle Paul (also known as Saul) and the church at Antioch. In the book of Acts Paul travels 12,000 miles (20,000 kilometers) to bring the message of Jesus to people who had never heard of Him.   Acts 13   THEN + NOW   Seek and heed the Spirit. In the first 3 verses of this chapter we see them praying, fasting and doing as the Holy Spirit leads.Seeking the Spirit's guidance and then heeding it is an important truth for us today individually and as the Body of Christ.  Acts 13:1-3 Rely on the Holy Spirit.  Paul and Barnabas follow the Holy Spirit's leading and head to the island of Cyprus. There they meet the proconsul Sergius Paulus and his attendant, a sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus. The sorcerer tries to stop the proconsul from faith in Jesus as Paul and Barnabas share the Good News. God blinds the sorcerer and when the proconsul sees this he believes because he was amazed at the teaching about Jesus.  There is power in the Name of Jesus, there is power through the Holy Spirit, there is insight given to those who believe and trust the Lord and who rely upon the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:4-12    Connect Scripture to today. Paul and Barnabas leave Cyprus and sail to Perga and then travel to Pisidian Antioch. They go to the synagogue and are asked if they have a word of exhortation to share with the people. Paul talks through the history of the people of Israel and all that God had done ending with God's bringing of the Messiah, Jesus the Savior. Paul connected the scripture to the present day. The Bible is for all people, in all times, in every generation. The Scriptures are relevant for us today. Acts 13:13-26 Testifies to the Risen Savior.  Paul goes on to say how people missed and ignored what was prophesied about the Savior even going so far as to execute Him on the cross even without proper grounds to do so. Then they laid him in a tomb and God raised Him from the dead and there are witnesses to His resurrection.  Paul makes it evident that what the prophets had said would happen was accomplished with Jesus Christ the Messiah and risen Savior. Our mission is to testify what God has done and point people to Jesus.   Acts 13:27-32  Christ alone can free us.  Paul shares by quoting Scriptures: Psalm 2:7, Isaiah 55:3, Psalm 16:10 and goes on to tell that all sins are forgiven in Christ. Following the Law doesn't save us, rather it shows us our failure to uphold it and shows our need for the Savior. Through faith in Jesus we are set free from every sin, a justification we are unable to obtain ourselves, it is only in Jesus Christ alone.  Act 23:33-43 The following weeks many came to the synagogue to hear the Good News but some Jews were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what Paul was saying, heaping abuse on him. Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly that they had to speak the Word of God to the Jews first but that now they would teach the Gentiles.

Self-reliance sounds like a virtue until you see the ways it quietly runs your life, sabotages your relationships, and keeps you stuck in the very patterns you're trying to escape. In this follow-up to a previous episode on self-reliance, Joe and Brett go deeper into the five specific patterns that show up in people who learned early on that their needs weren't going to be met. They walk through each pattern, how it developed, how it self-sabotages, and why the way out is deceptively close to the way that keeps you stuck. It's especially relevant for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever felt like it's all on them. Together, they explore: Why self-reliance is rooted in learning as a child that you had to take care of your parent, not the other way around The five patterns of self-reliance: difficulty owning wants, ignoring needs, issues with authority, taking responsibility for others' happiness, and inability to express hurt How to spot the pattern in your own life Why self-reliant leaders create power vacuums and political environments The distinction between wants (evolutionary drive) and needs (nervous system nourishment) Why self-reliant people crave a kind of care no adult can actually provide How resentment quietly builds when your asks come out as demands The "stray cat" analogy: training people to depend on you, then resenting them for it Why every self-sabotage move creates evidence that confirms the pattern The Truman Show trap: how the way out looks almost identical to the pattern itself Why owning your fear of interdependence unlocks real agency How self-reliance limits leverage and prevents the decentralized growth that scales Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Here's an interesting question for you: should people trust human fact-checkers or AI fact-checkers more when it comes to politics? One may certainly be faster, but is either more accurate? There are certainly pros and cons to both sides; Greg and Holly discuss their thoughts and read listeners' texts with their thoughts.

Today on Window Treatments for Profit This is Part 1 of Small on Purpose, a new WTFP series for the window treatment professional who is choosing to stay solo, on purpose, and wants to run that business at full profitability. Choosing small is a valid decision, same as choosing to grow, and it deserves the same respect. But choosing small still requires real discipline around your numbers, and this series is built on both of those truths. In this first episode, LuAnn lays out 2 ways people build a small business on purpose, full time inside limits you set yourself, or on the side, alongside something else, still expected to perform. She anchors both to a principle from designer Rachel Moriarty, someone LuAnn has known since 2016: "It's not a hobby, it is a business, and you have to run it like one." Then she tells the story of Exciting Windows member Susan Day, who ran her window treatment business solo for over a decade when she learned by taking the Exciting Windows Make A Friend 7 Step Selling System that she could intentionally set and reach revenue goals. 20+ years ago that goal was $100,000 a year. Now she approaches $1 million in gross revenue using the exact same system. Because of this system, Susan not only achieves her revenue goals but she also achieves arguably an even more important personal goal which is to take her 10 weeks off, every single year! LuAnn runs the actual math live, showing how the same revenue goal can take dramatically fewer appointments depending on just 2 numbers, average sale and close rate. Then she shares designer Adam Scougall's honest account of trying to make his design business his entire income, watching the pressure drain the joy out of it, and instead building a firm boundary, 2 projects a year, kept separate from his day job, a fraction of Susan's number and just as legitimate, because it was never about the size. It was about hitting your own number, on purpose. This episode gives you 3 concrete steps, 1 from each story. Tune in to see what your aha will be.

In this short solo episode, Im doing something a little different as one of the most common emails i get is about personal development tools - so here is one i think might be useful.In this episode im going to revisit & explore Patrick Lencioni's book The Ideal Team Player and its simple but powerful framework of being humble, hungry and smart. I look at how these three qualities can support your own personal and professional development, help you become a stronger and more valuable team player, and give leaders a practical way to develop healthier, more effective teams. I also examine what happens when one of these qualities is missing, why certain combinations can become damaging, and how the framework can be used as a mirror for self-reflection, a language for honest team conversations and a tool for building stronger organisations.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE Please check out our Partners supporting this episode areWilliam Wood Watches - Discount code FFPODCAST gives the user 10% off full range on websitePBI high-performance fabrics GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOSend us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

First Days of School Reminders William D. Parker This post is reprinted from an archived one we shared in 2019. Jenny is a returning student at her high school. She has a part-time job, which keeps her up late most nights. When she arrives late to school, she has already missed breakfast, and she's tardy. She stands in a long line at the counseling office until she is given her class schedule. She reads it quickly: First hour, Mr. Samuels, room 125, Algebra II. She doesn't recognize the name. Maybe he's one of the new teachers. She heads down the hall. She's flush with frustration but holds her head high, turns the corner, and steps into the classroom. She finds an open seat in the back of the room. As she glances around the room, she does not see the teacher's name anywhere. By this time, she's too embarrassed to ask, and the teacher is so involved in his first-day-of-school speech that he hasn't paused to ask Jenny for her name or schedule or given her any other leads. As he talks on, she realizes this is Language Arts, not a math class. She must have entered the wrong room or misread her schedule. Jenny endures the discomfort for the remaining minutes. Then she rushes from the class as quickly as possible, frustrated and hoping the rest of her first day of school is not this confusing. Keeping Students in Mind As important as it is to keep your responsibilities in mind as you start a new school year, it is even more important to keep the end goal in mind: serving students. You have students returning from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. You also serve teachers, staff, and parents with questions and concerns. How can you be ready for all of them? Questions Every Student Is Asking on the First Day As you know, how we prepare for students can either help or hurt their first-day experiences. Harry Wong, author of The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher, reminds us of seven questions every student asks about his or her teachers: Am I in the right room? Where am I supposed to sit? Who is the teacher as a person? Will the teacher treat me as a human being? What are the rules in this classroom? What will I be doing this year? How will I be graded? Questions Every Teacher and Staff Person Asks on the First Day But students aren't the only ones who need clarity. Your teachers and staff also want answers to some questions that only school leaders can answer. So, I've rewritten Harry Wong's questions to reflect what your teachers and staff will be asking: What is my schedule? What extra duties, assignments, or activities might I expect? Who is my administrator as a person? Will he or she treat me as a human being? What are the expectations, procedures, and policies in our school? What am I expected to accomplish this year? How will I be evaluated, mentored, graded, or coached? Tips for School Leaders Preparing for School With those thoughts in mind, in this week's Principal Matters podcast, co-host Jen Schwanke and I share six ideas to keep in mind when preparing for the start of school. Listen to the podcast version for even more stories and takeaways. 1. Build and Rebuild Relationships As teachers, staff, or parents return to your building, how are you reconnecting with them? Whether it's hearing about summer trips, family updates, or meaningful moments in their lives, these conversations are important for building trust. They also open questions your teammates may have that are important for you to answer before school begins. 2. Use Technology and Social Media Jen likes to schedule several reminders to her community through social media that she posts throughout the summer. Whether you are using your school website, school-wide communication apps, or social media, share important announcements and reminders several times throughout the summer to set expectations for the new school year. 3. Organize and Manage—Remember Everything! Obviously, no system is perfect, but as you move into a school year, it is important to keep a list of to-dos for your team and yourself. One way to do this is to maintain a list as you start the year that you can use again the following year or years. Go through last year's calendar to see if you're missing anything. Rely on a team—secretaries, assistants, and lead teachers—who can help you stay on track. 4. Define Responsibilities Sometimes principals have well-defined expectations for teachers but forget about non-instructional staff. Consider working with each staff member on well-defined key responsibility areas. You can learn more and see samples in previous posts. With teachers and staff, don't be afraid to say what is expected and provide it in writing. 5. Manage High Anxiety Everyone is anxious, in good or bad ways, about the start of school. They are looking to the principal to set the tone. Manage the high anxiety by demonstrating a sense of calm and reassurance. One way to do this is by including celebration in your welcome back. Provide lunch, give them a gift, communicate positivity, and reassure them again and again that it will be a great year and all will be well. 6. Host Orientation Meetings New teachers, returning teachers, new students, returning students, and new parents—you will have several groups who need to be welcomed in orientation meetings. Each group will have different needs, but the goals are the same: communicate expectations, be positive, and be available to answer questions. Additional Checklists for the School Leader's First Days of School Here are some additional questions to ask as you start the school year: Have you posted “Welcome Back” signage? Have you included maps of your school for new students? Is signage clear and visible throughout the building? Have you shared master schedules in advance with teachers? What are your established arrival and departure routines? Did you update and plan for consistently implemented policies and procedures? Have parents and students been invited to an orientation or open house before school? Is your school website updated with current calendars, a welcome-back message for parents, and key information they should know? Have you updated and shared duty rosters, activities, and/or game calendars for teachers? Does your own calendar include dates for state reports, observations, evaluations, and team meetings? Let's Wrap This Up Think through your school-wide processes from the fresh perspective of a student, parent, or teacher, and then decide what steps to take moving forward so that everyone in your school or organization has clarity on what to expect. Most importantly, remember that creating the best “first days” for students and staff also means realizing your school members need many of these questions answered every day.

One of the great ironies of entrepreneurship is that the very business meant to create freedom often becomes the thing that takes it away. When every decision, every approval, and every problem flows through the founder, the business becomes another demanding job instead of the wealth-generating asset that creates the freedom and lifestyle it was meant to provide.That's why I'm excited to welcome Jay Bourgana to the podcast. Jay is an entrepreneur, business acquisition expert, investor, and founder of Acquisition Collective. After building and exiting multiple companies, Jay has spent years helping entrepreneurs acquire, scale, and operate cash-flowing businesses while creating systems that allow owners to build real wealth without becoming trapped inside their companies.In our conversation, we discuss why people—not systems—are often the biggest constraint on growth, how to build businesses that create freedom rather than dependency, and why developing future leaders, investing with simplicity, and passing down core values matter far more than simply accumulating wealth.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why acquiring established cash-flowing businesses can dramatically accelerate financial freedom while avoiding many of the risks of starting from scratch.✅ How to identify when you've become the bottleneck in your own business and the leadership systems that create freedom without sacrificing growth.✅ Why true legacy has less to do with transferring wealth and more to do with teaching your children resilience, responsibility, financial literacy, and purposeful living.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/301Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Welcome back to Fraudology.Every once in a while I come across a report that makes me stop what I was planning to talk about because it's just that important. This is one of those weeks.Matt Vega recently released his quarterly fraud report 2026, and after reading it, I knew we needed to break it down together. Not because it's predicting what might happen next year. Because every attack covered in this report is already happening.One of the biggest themes running through the report is that fraud is simply moving faster than fraud teams are. AI is making sophisticated attacks cheaper, easier to launch, and much harder to detect. Criminals no longer need deep technical skills when they can rent the tools they need through fraud as a service marketplaces.So what does that actually look like?In this episode, I walk through several of the newest fraud tactics already showing up in the wild, including malware hidden behind fake unsubscribe links, banking malware that can piggyback on a customer's trusted device, and session hijacking techniques that make account takeover fraud incredibly difficult to detect using traditional fraud detection models.At first glance, many of these attacks look legitimate. That's exactly the problem.We also talk about why fraud teams can't rely on individual trust signals like device intelligence, IP reputation, or even behavioral analytics by themselves anymore. Criminals have learned how to blend into legitimate customer behavior, which means our approach to fraud detection and fraud prevention has to evolve too.This is where things get interesting.One of my biggest takeaways from Matt's report is that the answer isn't one new tool or one new model. It's layering better fraud intelligence, sharing information across consortium networks, and understanding the broader cybercrime trends happening outside your own organization. Because by the time a new attack reaches your queue, there's a good chance another company has already seen it.I also spend a few minutes sharing an update on the Merchant Fraud Alliance conference, including our new AI bootcamp that's focused on practical ways fraud teams can start using AI in fraud prevention today.

Full Transcript Below: You Are My Hiding Place, GodBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance” (Psalm 32:7). Corrie Ten Boom was a strong follower of Jesus who lost everything to the Nazis. Her family protected Jews from being taken to Nazi concentration camps by hiding them. However, one day, they were discovered. Corrie, along with her family, was taken to various jails and concentration camps. Corrie’s father died in prison ten days after arriving, while she and her sister, Betsie, were taken to Ravensbrück concentration camp. Betsie died while in Ravensbrück, which severely affected Corrie. The two sisters were extremely close and relied on one another. Corrie was later released from Ravensbrück by happenstance, which was later discovered to be a clerical error. However, we know this was God working in the situation; He was setting Corrie free from the concentration camp that had taken so much from her. Upon returning home, Corrie noted that home didn’t feel like home anymore. She was waiting for Betsie or her father to show up, but they never did. For many of us who have lost loved ones, we know what this feels like. They have passed on, and we won’t see them again until Heaven. Throughout Corrie’s time living under the Nazi regime, she never lost faith in Jesus. She knew Christ was with her. Even today, He is still right beside us as we face our own battles. Corrie’s book detailing her time under Nazi rule is called “The Hiding Place.” This was connected to how they would hide Jews in a special room in their house, which doubled as their watch shop. While this room kept the Jews safe, it was also God who was protecting them. God is our figurative and literal hiding place. We might not see it at present; however, when the time comes, we will see His safety, protection, and comfort. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible speaks of God as our hiding place: “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance” (Psalm 32:7). David wrote this psalm, knowing that God would protect him from trouble and surround him with deliverance. Just as God did this for David, He will do the same for us. Even when you might think God is far, He is near (Acts 17:27). During dark times, it can feel as though He is nowhere to be seen. These feelings are valid, but we must understand that God is greater than our feelings. We don’t need to base our knowledge of God on what we feel. Our feelings may be inaccurate or misleading. Our feelings might tell us that God will not protect us from harm, trouble, or struggle, but we need to remember that He is our hiding place. He will protect us and surround us with His grace. Think about what you need today and present it to Him (1 Peter 5:7). Do not feel afraid to share your real feelings and the thoughts that are pulling you away from Him. God knows life can get hard, and our faith can waver from time to time. However, He doesn’t want us straying away from Him. He is our hiding place where we can go and find safety, security, and hope. Even if you may feel weak and tired right now, go to Him. God walked Corrie out of Ravensbrück, and He will walk you out of this struggle ahead. I have seen it in my own life, and you probably have already seen it in yours, too. Rely on God’s past faithfulness when it seems like a prayer has not been answered in a long time. He will answer your prayers in time and surround you with songs of deliverance (Zephaniah 3:17). Is God currently your hiding place? Why or why not? How can you build your trust in God today?

Continuous education is structural protection: Entrepreneurs must treat business development and tech training as non-negotiable daily habits. Run your business on intuition: Rely on common sense rather than chasing low-cost, race-to-the-bottom marketplace trends. Treat networking profiles like a mini-website: A professional profile must operate as a sleek landing page complete with clear social proof. Master the three pillars of direct outreach: High-converting marketing relies on a streamlined sequence: Optimize, Connect, and Message. Leverage parallel co-working sessions: Bypass administrative procrastination by setting up parallel focus blocks with an accountability partner. Retain vision when outsourcing: Scaling a business requires delegation, but the owner must always retain absolute control over the brand's trajectory. Give yourself permission to breathe: Focus entirely on the substance of marketing rather than the arbitrary frequency of a social media posting schedule. Audit service agreements closely: Talent must actively protect their biological voiceprints by ensuring explicit protective clauses are embedded into every contract. Hold corporate standards for child talent: Treat child performances as a legitimate business by enforcing standard industry rates and following official best practices.
