Inside Strategic Coach: Connecting Entrepreneurs With What Really Matters
Everyone knows what cognitive thinking is, but what about metacognitive thinking? Dan Sullivan uses this term to describe the kind of thinking The Strategic Coach® Program develops in entrepreneurs. In this episode, Dan and fellow business coach Shannon Waller explore metacognitive thinking and how it helps the right kind of entrepreneurs achieve their biggest dreams with greater clarity and confidence. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:The three levels of thinking most people rely on in daily life.The fourth level of thinking that unlocks your best entrepreneurial ideas.Dan's first childhood experience of thinking about his thinking.The question that set Dan on a completely different life path from his peers.Why entrepreneurs gain an unfair advantage when they learn to think about their thinking. Show Notes: One level of thinking is thinking about things. People like things, and they often use shared things as common ground for conversation. The second level of thinking is thinking about people, which is why social media has become such a powerful phenomenon. For most people, thinking about things and thinking about people uses up almost all of their available mental time. The third level of thinking is thinking about thoughts, which is the focus of higher education and high-level media. In higher education, professors typically teach other people's thinking rather than developing and teaching their own. The fourth level of thinking, which very creative people—and especially entrepreneurs—can access, is thinking about your thinking. Thinking about your thinking gives you the ability to deliberately change how you're thinking about a situation or problem. Strategic Coach® provides hundreds of thinking tools to help entrepreneurs think about their thinking in structured, practical ways. Your emotions are not a direct response to what happens outside of you; they're a response to how you're thinking about what happens.

What if the thing that helps you run faster now also protects you from becoming fragile later?In this episode, I break down VO2 max in the most practical way possible: what it is, why runners should care, how much your watch can actually be trusted, and why the number matters for way more than race performance. We get into the difference between VO2 max, threshold, running economy, zone 2, hard intervals, and field testing. And we do it all without turning it into a science textbook.The bigger idea is simple: VO2 max is not just about running faster. It is about building a higher ceiling now so you have more room to perform, recover, age well, and avoid becoming fragile later. We also cover the workouts that actually move the needle, why easy running alone is probably not enough if you are time-poor, and how to start adding VO2 max work without blowing yourself up.Timestamps[00:01:46] Vo2 Max Defined[00:03:42] What's The difference between watch and mask treadmill lab test[00:05:20] Use This To Improve Your Vo2 Max Now[00:07:11] Why Vo2 Max isn't the only metric to make you a better runner[00:07:51] Brady's back story and his Vo2 Max of 80[00:08:54] Is the Car Analogy the best for Vo2 Max?[00:10:12] Ignore Your Smart Watch and Focus on the Bigger Zoomed out Story[00:11:26] Take These After Vo2 Max Runs To Recover Better[00:14:39] Why Low Carb Won't Get You To your Best Time[00:15:55] Difference between Threshold & Vo2 Max HR zones[00:18:18] Can you improve Vo2 Max by not doing zone 4 work?[00:18:58] Physiology is a spectrum not an exact[00:20:42] Don't Rely on 220 Minus Age for Max HR Number[00:22:42] Do You Have To Run at a Certain Speed/Force to Improve Vo2 Max?[00:26:16] How can someone go and test their Vo2 Max?[00:27:45] Does Doing The Mile Help Improve Vo2 Max?[00:28:37] Is it Good to do a Vo2 Max & Threshold Lab Test Same Time?[00:29:25] Why Vo2 Max & Longevity are so connected[00:31:17] Why Fit Trained 60yo Are Healthier than Sedentary 30yo[00:35:30] Why Low Vo2 Max on Older People is so Dangerous[00:41:08] Zone 2 vs Vo2 Max Training and Fitness[00:43:43] Is Zone 3, 4 and 5 better for Time Strapped Runners?[00:46:12] Higher intensity training is 9 times more effective than low intensity[00:47:58] What Vo2 Max Number is Best to Target?[00:51:34] Why Norwegian 4x4 is the best for beginners with Vo2 Max[00:53:33] Is 30 sec on 20 sec off good for new vo2 max runners?[00:56:14] Should Vo2 Max Intervals go over 5 minutes[00:57:48] Does Vo2 Max Stop Improving after 6 Weeks[00:59:50] Why There Is Not Such Thing a Non Exercise Responder[01:02:13] How a New Runner Can Get Used to Vo2 Max Efforts[01:06:06] Starter 3 Days a Week Build Your Vo2 Max Plan[01:09:06] Is This a Vo2 Max Workout?

Ulla says that there 8 groups of treyfot that were told to Moses at Sinai - that is, the categories. Plus a focus on a punctured gallbladder, among other potential issues, where the animal may actually not die (but isn't that a miraculous event, and therefore not a proof for anything?). Also, a focus on some kind of injury for an animal that might or might not make the animal a treyfa -- with the example of a thorn in the animal's esophagus. And 4 cases that argue against Ulla's positions.
Do you really need the SpaceX IPO in your portfolio? With SpaceX expected to become the largest IPO in history, investors everywhere are asking the same questions: Am I missing out? Should I try to buy shares immediately? What happens if I don't own it? Today, on Financial Detox, Jason and Alex separate hype from reality and explain what most investors misunderstand about IPO investing. The truth is that the biggest risk may not be missing the IPO, it may be chasing it for the wrong reasons. The conversation goes beyond SpaceX and explores why companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks are changing the way investors think about public and private markets.

Welcome to our Daily Bitachon series. We are at the end of Sha'ar HaBechina [The Gate of Reflection], where the author tells us a beautiful mashal [parable] to show the greatness of Hashem. He compares us to a child who was raised in a jail cell and has no concept of the king who runs an entire empire; the child thinks the whole world is just that jail cell. And that is us in this world. We only have a small glimpse of what the real picture is and what God can truly do, living here on this small little planet. The Chovos HaLevavos tells us to develop this mashal . And we will do just that, based on the Chafetz Chaim in his sefer Shemiras HaLashon (Volume 1, in the section called Sha'ar HaTvuna , Chapter 10). He gives the following mashal to explain how we can rely on Hashem even when we are living in an era where we don't clearly see Hashem's control—where it looks like the world is running wild. It's fascinating how he uses this mashal to build our Bitachon [trust], because ultimately, as we've said, our understanding of the world is what leads us to serve Him, which ultimately brings us to Bitachon . And here we go: There was a king who had total global control. He was a superpower, and he ruled his kingdom beautifully. He had more than enough food and sustenance to provide for his entire kingdom, for all of his generals, and for everyone under his rule in a highly respectable way. Yet, as can happen on a small, isolated island with a tiny group of people, a few servants decided to stage a minor rebellion out of pure arrogance. The king heard about it. Okay, his men would handle it, no problem. Right after the news reached the king, he went for a walk in his vineyard, not feeling threatened by this rebellion at all. While walking, he heard a beautiful bird chirping. It looked nice, it sounded beautiful, and he told one of his servants, "I'd like to have that bird in my palace so we can listen to its beautiful singing." And so they did; they put the bird in a cage and brought it to the king's palace, where it sang in a beautiful, sweet tone. One foolish man saw the bird and said, "You poor bird, I feel so bad for you. You know, you're going into the king's palace because you have a beautiful voice, but you're really going to suffer there because you won't have any food." The bird asked, "Why not?" The man replied, "Because I heard that there are people rebelling against the king!" Another, smarter servant overheard this and said, "What a fool! Our king rules the entire world. He has endless treasure houses. Taking care of this bird is a joke to him. And he loves the chirping of this bird! Do you really think he can't manage to find a few morsels of grain every day to sustain this bird just because there are a few rebels in some far-off little town?" That is the mashal . For the nimshal [the lesson], the Chafetz Chaim says that this analogy doesn't even compare one-in-a-million to what is really going on. God created this physical world, but He also created the upper worlds. The spiritual realm consists of many worlds. There are four basic spiritual worlds: our world is called Olam HaAsiya [the World of Action], and above it are the worlds of Yetzira , Beriah , and Atzilut . We aren't kabbalists to go into exactly what all these levels mean. But the point he is making is that when we see a "rebellion" happening down here in this tiny physical world, we are viewing everything through limited, physical eyes. We don't see what is truly going on; we have no idea of the full scope of the universe. And we are like that little bird—that tiny, teeny bird—worrying, "How is the king going to take care of me?" Who is the bird? The bird is us, the Jewish people, whose voices God loves to hear. As the verse says, " Yonati bechagvei hasela "—"My dove in the clefts of the rock." He wants to take care of us! Yet, we worry because we see rebellions going on, because there is Hamas, because there is Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and Hezbollah. We worry because we see a few rebels. Do you know what our King can do? The Chafetz Chaim says we should be more shocked at our own anxious attitude than at the attitude of that foolish servant telling the bird that the king can't feed him. That is huge. He says that all we need to do, every single day, is think about this. When we think about this, it will strengthen our Bitachon . And again, this is exactly what Sha'ar HaBechina is all about—seeing God's power and understanding how He is completely unlimited, and using that clarity to reach Bitachon . I will not stop stressing this point: You cannot jump to Sha'ar HaBitachon without going through Sha'ar HaBechina . You must first appreciate who God is, and then you can rely on Him. And even then, you can't just jump straight to relying on Him; you have to first commit yourself to serving Him. Your first reaction to God's greatness isn't supposed to be, "Wow, look how strong God is, look what I can get from Him!" No. It should be, "Look how strong God is—what do I have to do to reciprocate?" And how do we reciprocate? How will we find the tools and abilities to do so? That is where Bitachon comes in: rely on Him, and He will take care of you. The absolute fundamental of Bitachon is that Hashem takes care of His servants . You need to be a servant first. This is the path of Sha'ar HaBechina . That is what the author is telling us. We have a clear track. When you get to the end of this gate, you have to realize what the next step is, but never forget the foundation. As we say, you constantly have to go over this foundation again and again, every single day. He notes that this is the deeper meaning of the verse in Yeshayahu (26:4): " Ki b'Y-H Hashem tzur olamim ." Chazal [the Sages] tell us that God created the worlds with two letters of His Name: a Yud , which created Olam HaBa [the World to Come], and a Heh , which created Olam HaZeh [this world]. What does this verse say? Once we know that Hashem created both worlds and that He is a tzur —a rock, meaning He is completely reliable, the rock in whom we find refuge ( tzur achasayu bo )—the verse commands us: " Bitchu v'Hashem adei ad "—"Trust in Hashem forever and ever." What does "always and forever" mean? The Chafetz Chaim explains that "always" means even in our times, when it looks like a massive rebellion is going on. Rely on Him always! Why? Because you know how powerful He is: " Ki b'Y-H Hashem tzur olamim "—because God is the Rock of worlds , plural. Let's repeat this verse one more time: Bitchu v'Hashem adei ad . Rely on Hashem forever and ever. Why? Because Hashem is the Rock of the worlds. He is the Rock, meaning He is reliable—the ultimate Rock of Gibraltar. He is reliable, and He is the Creator of all the worlds. Regardless of what it looks like is happening downstairs, it is only a drop in the bucket. And from this, to quote the Chafetz Chaim: " Nuchel lehavin et godel habitachon she-yesh l'adam livtoach b'Hakadosh Baruch Hu "—"Through this, we can understand the immense scale of trust that a person must place in the Holy One, blessed be He."

Jesus is reliable and trust worthy. As God, he knows us better than we know ourselves and will always provide what we need and will draw us closer to himself. This blogcast explores “Relying on Jesus" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written and read by Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C.God provides. Relying on Jesus means that we trust that God provides. Provides what? Not everything we want, the way we want it, and when we want it. No, God provides what we need, the way we need it, and when we need it, even if we cannot see it at the time. Living life for a length of time often teaches us to see and trust in this way. The alternative is simply reliance on self which can lead to bitterness and damage to ourselves and others.Relying on Jesus means that we trust that he, as God, is working 100%, offering us the grace to persevere, even during times of great challenge. He laid down his life for us on the Cross, so that we might experience the fullness of God providing for us, the opportunity for Eternal Life. We are called to trust in God who provides.While presented here as seemingly simple, it is not. We like to feel as if we are in control of our lives and destiny. It is hard to surrender ourselves to Christ and rely on him. Faith gives us the ability to do it. The charity of Christ offers us the grace of faith, since God always wills our good in ways that we often do not expect or imagine. God provides. Let us rely on Jesus Christ.May the charity of Christ urge us on! Author:Fr. Frank S.

Nick Fernando, Co-founder & Director, Aqua Global SolutionsThe Swift ISO 20022 deadline of 22 November 2025 is now past history. Isn't it? Well, it appears not, with many banks continuing to rely on translation tools to bridge legacy systems. Yet stopgap measures come at a cost. Nick Fernando, Co-founder and Director at Aqua Global Solutions, warns that translation tools won't cut it in the long run. Banks that are ISO 20022 native stand to gain far more than compliance – from faster straight-through processing to fewer manual errors and richer data insights.
Key Topics CoveredThe Motivation RollercoasterPaul Andrews addresses a common challenge among guitar players: losing motivation to practice.Emphasizes that all guitarists—whether beginner, intermediate, or advanced—go through phases of high and low motivation.Losing motivation is normal and does not mean you're failing, lazy, or untalented—it just means you're human.The Problem with Relying on MotivationMotivation is emotional and temporary, leading to inconsistent practice and results if you depend on it.The key to improvement isn't being the most motivated; it's being the most consistent.Small, regular practice sessions are more effective than occasional marathon sessions.The Power of Consistent HabitsGuitar progress comes from repetition and building habits.The hardest part is often just starting—once you begin, enjoyment and motivation can return.Paul Andrews shares personal stories about his own struggles with motivation, highlighting that everyone faces ups and downs.Systems Beat MotivationCreate systems to support regular practice, which will sustain you during periods of low motivation.Inspired by “Atomic Habits” by James Clear, Paul Andrews recommends:Leave Your Guitar Out: Make it easy to access, reducing friction.Practice at the Same Time: Attach practice to an existing routine or time of day.Lower the Barrier: Even five minutes of practice counts and often leads to longer sessions.Work on Multiple Things: Mix up your practice to stay engaged.Progress Fuels MotivationMotivation often follows progress, but growth can be slow and hard to see day-to-day.Avoid comparing yourself to advanced players; instead, track your growth with recordings or progress checks.Identity Over MotivationShifting your mindset from “I'm trying to learn guitar” to “I'm a guitarist” helps ingrain the habit.When playing guitar becomes part of your identity, you're more likely to be consistent, regardless of motivation.Staying in the Game During Low MotivationMotivation will return with time and exposure—sometimes a new song, bit of gear, or musical achievement reignites the spark.The most rewarding stages are often just around the corner, so persistence is key.Action StepsDon't wait for perfect conditions: Show up and play, even for a few minutes.Challenge: Pick up your guitar today—play a riff, a song, or even just one chord for five minutes.Remember, consistency beats motivation every single time.Resources MentionedAtomic Habits by James ClearBeginner Guitar Academy Community for support and sharing progressJoin Beginner Guitar AcademyStructured five-level system from complete beginner to advancedSong studies, riffs, one-to-one support with Paul Andrews, and a supportive community2-week trial for $1Learn more: beginnerguitaracademy.comConnectHave you struggled with motivation?

This powerful exploration of Romans 15 challenges us to consider our role in God's grand mission. We discover Paul commending the Roman church for three remarkable qualities: they were full of goodness toward one another, filled with knowledge of God's truth, and able to instruct each other in wisdom. This presents a beautiful picture of what mature Christian community looks like - not dependent on leaders for every spiritual question, but equipped to counsel and encourage one another through life's challenges. The message reveals Paul's unique calling as a pioneer apostle, someone hardwired by God to lay foundations where Christ had never been named. What's striking is Paul's humility - he boasts only in what Christ accomplished through him, not in his own abilities. This leads us to a profound truth: God set Paul apart before he was born, transforming the chief persecutor of Christians into the greatest missionary the church has known. If God can radically redirect someone like Saul of Tarsus, He can work in any of our lives. The practical application becomes clear when we see Hope Church's mission efforts - nearly a million dollars given to local, national, and global ministries in just over four years. We're reminded that some are called to go as pioneers into new territory, while the rest of us are called to support, encourage, and send them with more than just thoughts and prayers. The harvest is ripe, and whether we're called to plant churches in unreached areas or to faithfully support those who do, we all have a part in God's mission to reach the world.**Detailed Notes**• **Context – Romans 15:14–21, 22–33** – Paul is closing the letter, affirming the maturity of the Roman church and explaining his ministry calling and travel plans. – The sermon framed two big sections: (1) Practical church life, (2) Partnership in mission.---### I. A Mature Church (v.14)1. **Full of goodness** – Uprightness of heart and life; gracious toward one another. 2. **Filled with knowledge** – Deep, growing understanding of the faith (grace + truth). 3. **Able to instruct one another** – Mutual counsel, not clergy‑only; Col 3:12–17 – teaching, admonishing, worshiping together. – Sunday gatherings align us for mission; the church body does the “work of ministry” all week.---### II. Paul the Priest (v.15–16)• “Priestly service of the gospel” – not Old Testament sacrifice, but **offering Gentile converts to God**. • Every believer is part of a **“royal priesthood”** (1 Pet 2:9): servants of the King who bring people to Him.---### III. Paul the Preacher (v.17–19)• Paul “proud” only in what **Christ accomplished through him**. • Ministry must be: – Empowered by the **Spirit**, not human skill alone. – Dependent: “In him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). • Hudson Taylor: “God's will done God's way brings God's provision.” – Faith often feels impossible → difficult → done.---### IV. Paul the Pioneer (v.20–21)• Ambition: preach **where Christ is not named**, lay new foundations, then move on. • God had **set Paul apart before he was born** (Gal 1:15–16), transforming a persecutor into an apostle. • Some believers are similarly marked for pioneering ministry; they are miserable doing anything else.---### V. Partnership in Mission (v.22–33)• Paul longs to see Rome, then go to Spain, expecting their **help on his journey** (support). • Model of **local → national → global** mission: – Local ministries (kids, recovery, crisis pregnancy, etc.). – National church planting. – Global works (schools, long‑term missionaries). • The “5%” go; the “95%” **strive with them** in prayer, practical care, and financial support.---## Practical Applications1. **Grow into maturity** – Pursue goodness, biblical knowledge, and the ability to counsel others. Join and contribute to a group. 2. **Own your priesthood** – See people you share Christ with as your “offering” to God. Pray for one person to pursue this week. 3. **Rely on the Spirit** – Before serving, consciously ask the Spirit to lead; reject self‑reliance. 4. **Discern your calling** – If you feel “marked” for ministry or missions, don't ignore the burn; seek wise counsel and take next steps. 5. **Support those who go** – Pray by name for missionaries; give sacrificially; look for “root beer”–type ways to encourage them.---## Discussion Questions1. Which of Paul's three commendations (goodness, knowledge, ability to instruct) do you see most and least in your own life? 2. How does viewing yourself as part of a “royal priesthood” change your view of everyday life and work? 3. Where have you been tempted to rely on your own ability instead of the Holy Spirit? What might dependence look like this week? 4. Do you sense any specific calling from God (vocational ministry, missions, church planting, or something else)? How are you responding? 5. As a group, what concrete step can you take to better partner with those “on the field” locally, nationally, or globally?

The school year is wrapping up for high schoolers. Soon, some teens will put down their backpacks and pick up an ice cream scoop, or maybe a lifeguard whistle. It's the season of the summer job. But this year, it may be a bit harder to find one. Over the past year Minnesota lost more than 5,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality – sectors that tend to hire youth. In March, the teen unemployment rate was 13.2 percent, nearly double what it was in March 2025, according to data from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The higher unemployment rate could be a return to what was typical before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Oriane Casale, assistant director of DEED's Labor Market Information Office. Casale joined Minnesota Now along with Billie Jo Greene, who helps teens find jobs as team leader of the Rural Minnesota Concentrated Employment Program in Bemidji.

Jeremy, Steve Melewski, and Joe took some time from Thursday's BBMS to discuss the Orioles overall approach to the game in 2026. They are known as a team that relies heavily on analytics, but at this point, does it seem they rely on the numbers too much and not enough intuition?
Life is beautiful and offers many great opportunities, but unfortunately, it also has the potential to cause hurt and pain. If we’re going to follow God and succeed, we need to understand the impact and influence of three things: faith, focus, and fear.

Do you expect God to act when you pray? As we learn from the story in Genesis 23-24, we're reminded to pray and observe God's faithfulness as we rely on Him.May 17, 2026

Psalm 104 Day 3 — You Are Stronger Than You Think Psalm 104:10-13 “You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, giving drink to every wild animal; the wild asses quench their thirst. By the streams, the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the branches. From your lofty abode, you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.” Today, we are back with Psalm 104. If you missed Monday's episode, I have decided to stick with Psalm 104 and break it down into smaller sections. The reason I chose Psalm 104 is that it shows us so many things we can be grateful for and the many ways God provides for and looks out for us. Psalm 104 also shows us His power and majesty, and I think it is a good idea to stop and reflect on that often. Otherwise, it can be easy to take the Lord for granted, since He is always there for us, and much of what He does goes unnoticed because we don't really think about how much He is doing. We think it just happens. For instance, we take for granted the sun coming up and going down because it happens every day. However, it wouldn't happen if God didn't make it happen. If He hadn't created the earth to spin the way that it does. Today's verse starts by talking about how God makes the springs gush in the valleys and flow between the hills, giving drink to every wild animal. Did you ever think about how great it is that there is water spread worldwide? There is water in the mountains, there are oceans of water, but then there are also streams and rivers. Then there is groundwater you can tap with a well if necessary. It's also interesting that where water is more scarce, the Lord created the things that live there to suit their environment. In a desert, plants like the cactus have water-storing characteristics. You also have camels in a desert, and they are extremely efficient with the amount of water they use daily. They can go for about a week without drinking water. They can also drink a lot of water in a short amount of time. A typical camel can drink 53 gallons of water in three minutes. Isn't it amazing how God thought of everything all the earth's creatures would need and then created us to meet those needs? Next, it says, “By the streams, the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the branches.” Water is important to birds, just like it is to all animals. Birds build their habitat in many different places depending on what the bird needs. Some build them on the ground, and yet they know this makes the nest more vulnerable, so they camouflage them well. Many others build them high off the ground so they won't be so vulnerable. They make the nests out of various materials. It depends on what they can find and what their needs are. Isn't it amazing that God always provides for them exactly what they need? The verse ends with, “From your lofty abode, you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.” This part reminds us of how easy it is for God to provide for us. He doesn't have to lift a finger. He just spoke the world into existence, and it was so perfectly made. He can sit up in heaven and command things to happen down here. I like how the verse says, “The earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.” The earth is satisfied with His work because He thought of everything when He created the world and all its creatures. When I think about how easily God created the world and how He thought of everything, even the smallest detail, and then made sure to provide for that detail, I feel better about the things I ask the Lord for. When I take the time to think about His marvelous creations and how he just spoke the words and the whole universe was created, then it reminds me that when I ask the Lord for things, I am not asking for too much. This is something we often think. We don't bring our little cares and worries to the Lord because we don't want to bother Him. We don't ask Him for healing for every ache and pain because we know how busy He is. The thing is, He is never too busy for anything you want to bring to Him. He is not busy because what would be impossible for us is easy for Him. He is not bound by the same worldly constraints as we are. God isn't even bound by time. All things are happening at the same time for the Lord. That means it is okay if you did not say the prayer you wanted to say for someone before they left on a trip. You can still say the prayer now, and it will help them because God sees you saying that prayer as they are going away. I know that is a lot to wrap your head around, and we don't have to understand it perfectly. I don't actually think it is possible to fully grasp the majesty of God on this side of heaven. There is much that will remain a mystery, and we may have many questions we want to ask God once we join Him for all eternity. For now, I think it is important for all of us to know that we are not asking God for too much. He is not too busy for us to come to Him with all the little things in our lives. He cares about the small things just as much as He cares about the big things. Also, there is nothing too hard for God. Sometimes, I think we hesitate to ask God for the things we really want because we think it is too big an ask. It is too much to ask God for a complete healing of terminal cancer because the doctors said it wasn't possible. Guess what? All things are possible for God. It is not hard for God to cure terminal cancer. He can curse that cancer and can shrivel up and die. Did you know you can do this, too? You have the power of the Lord living inside of you. You have permission from God to speak with authority because of the power that lives inside of you. God wants us to come to Him with everything. Good or bad, big or small, He is our Father, and He wants to hear all about it. He also likes it when we use the power we have living inside us to help ourselves and others. Remember when I talked about how He created the camels and cactus with the ability to store water? God gave them what they needed to live in their environments. God did the same for us. He gave us the Holy Spirit to help us live in this world. This means we have all the power and the strength we need to survive this world. With the Holy Spirit inside of us, we have the wisdom and knowledge to do the right thing. We just need to ask. We have the power to heal. We just need to realize we have this power and use it. We have the power to resist sin. We just need to call on it. God created us to be the people we are, and He gave us all we need to live in this world. I know this world is crazy, and it seems to be falling apart. I know this world wants less and less to do with God. However, He knew this would happen. None of this is a surprise to the Lord, and He created you to live in this time. That means He knew all you would need, and He gave it to you. If you feel you lack anything right now, that is a lie from the enemy. Your Heavenly Father knew exactly what you would need and gave it to you. You have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead living inside of you. Rely on that power, call on that power. You are stronger than you think you are. Dear Heavenly Father, we ask you to bless everyone listening to this episode today. We ask that you help us to see how perfectly you made us. Please help us understand how you meet all of our needs. Lord, you are amazing. You have thought of everything when you created the world. We are in awe of how perfectly you created nature to fulfill all of our needs. You are truly remarkable. Lord, we ask you to help us bring everything to you, big or small. We ask that you let us know if you want to help with everything. Help us, Lord, to discover the power we have living inside of us and help us to rely on that power more than we rely on ourselves. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. Let's get this message out to more people. Share this episode with someone you love or someone who has been on your heart. I look forward to meeting you all here again tomorrow.

There was a time in my life where I relied on motivation more than structure. If I felt disciplined, I made good money decisions. If I felt overwhelmed, I avoided things until I felt better. If I was inspired, I planned. If I was tired, I let things slide. What changed my financial life wasn't working harder. It wasn't becoming more naturally organized. It wasn't even making more money. It was building systems and routines. Not complicated systems. Not time-consuming spreadsheets. Just simple, repeatable structures that removed guesswork from my day-to-day life. If you've ever felt like you're juggling a lot, setting big goals, and still wondering why everything feels heavier than it should… this episode will help you see why. Because more often than not, it's not a discipline problem…it's a systems problem. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes and sharing the five money systems I use to keep both my life and business organized…the ones I actually rely on consistently. In this episode, we discuss: The daily and weekly money rhythm that keeps finances organized Why tracking your spending daily reduces overwhelm How weekly check-ins create clarity and prevent surprises How I use Profit First to manage money in my business Why paying yourself first builds long-term financial discipline The power of quarterly planning using the 12-Week Year method How to align financial goals with real-life execution Why calendar systems and task management reduce mental overload How organizing responsibilities improves financial decision-making Why tracking your net worth monthly shifts your long-term mindset This episode is especially helpful if you: Feel inconsistent with your money habits Struggle to stay organized financially Rely on motivation instead of structure Want simple systems that make money management easier Why this matters: Consistency isn't built through discipline alone…it's built through structure. When your money depends on how you feel in the moment, it will always feel unstable. But when you have systems in place, your finances become predictable, organized, and easier to manage. Systems remove the need to constantly "try harder." They allow you to follow a process that supports your goals automatically. That's where financial confidence, clarity, and long-term growth begin. Timestamps: [02:35] Raya tracks her spending daily and it takes her about 5-10 minutes to get it done, because she's building off the previous day. [06:10] Raya started using the Profit First method in her own business back in 2018. It fundamentally changed her business finances. [11:50] Taking the approach of a "12 Week Year" allows Raya to zoom in and focus on important goals and what needs to be done to achieve them. [15:00] Let your systems take the burden off of you to remember what needs to get done in your life, finances, or business.

Today on Window Treatments for Profit You built the roles. You wrote the expectations. You had the conversations. And somehow everything still routes back to you. In this episode, LuAnn Nigara names the pattern underneath that dynamic, and it has nothing to do with your systems. It starts with a dishwasher. It ends with a hire LuAnn made twenty years ago that changed everything about how she thinks about building a team. The woman she hired fresh out of college, Kim, turned out to be better than LuAnn at fabric selection, design ideas, and technical product knowledge. And instead of correcting her back toward her own version, LuAnn said so out loud. Fifteen years later she was able to step out of Window Works when she wanted to. Kim is now a partner in the business. This episode is about the shift that actually breaks the pattern of everything routing back to you. Not a framework. Not a meeting. The moment you look at someone on your team and say out loud: you are better at this than I am. I want you to own it. And it is about the pattern that prevents that moment from ever happening: the silent redo, the quiet correction, the message your team receives without you ever saying a word.

In today's episode, Rachel shares many opposing thoughts that we are all thinking right now: the world is absurd, crazy and scary - but the world is also full of so many beautiful things. Everywhere we look there is war, genocide, starvation, and terrifying men in positions of power. But there are also children laughing, flowers blooming, and ducks in Rachel's house! How can these polarities exist at once? And even more so, how can we find happiness and joy amidst the chaos and uncertainty? Whatever you are doing to take care of yourself right now is beautiful. Whether that looks like small self-care practices or prepping a bunker for the apocalypse (Rachel shares a bit more of her journey here, too!), it all counts. At the end of the day, the only one coming to save you is you. Tune in for an episode that will empower you to remember that you are the one you have been waiting for.

As war continues on, we talk the impact of oil on the economy. Ongoing and often confusing geopolitical developments are driving sharp, sentiment-driven market swings. Markets initially following a "great rotation" into defensive sectors were shifting into broad selloffs during war uncertainty, and now are in a rapid "chase" back into growth and tech as investors repositioned after being caught offside. Despite strong headline earnings underlying data shows slowing economic activity, mixed sector performance, weakening housing, and uneven credit conditions, suggesting a late-cycle environment. With correlations breaking down, traditional diversification less effective, and tech valuations complicated by rising capital expenditures, caution and incremental positioning are important. We discuss... Markets reacted sharply to conflicting war headlines, showing how sentiment, not fundamentals, is driving short-term moves. Rely on frameworks rather than predictions, since forecasting the future is inherently unreliable. Current market strength is concentrated in tech, while most other sectors remain flat or weak. Strong earnings reports are being driven in part by lowered expectations rather than true outperformance. Economic data is softening, with slowing manufacturing, services, and forward-looking business activity. Credit markets show mixed signals, with business borrowing strong but housing and consumer trends uneven. The economy appears to be in a late-cycle phase, marked by narrow growth and increased fragility. Traditional diversification is less effective as stock and bond correlations have turned positive. Big tech faces scrutiny due to rising capital expenditures and uncertain returns on AI investments. Market behavior is increasingly driven by positioning, psychology, and institutional flows. Upcoming earnings from major companies are expected to add further volatility to markets. Midterm election cycles historically bring choppy market conditions, reinforcing uncertainty. The current rally may be a temporary bounce rather than a confirmed long-term trend. Investors are encouraged to avoid chasing gains and instead scale into positions. Holding cash and waiting for clearer signals is presented as a valid strategy.

Have you ever stopped to consider whether the way you're living is truly aligned with how God designed you to live? In this episode, we explore why so many Christian women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or off, even when they are trying to do the right things. This conversation is for the woman who loves God but feels depleted, unclear, or unsure what her next step should be in her health journey. As a Christian holistic health coach, my goal is to help you see that your health is shaped by more than just food or supplements. Your rhythms, relationships, thoughts, and time with God all matter. In this episode, we return to a simple truth. God has already given us principles for how to live, and those principles lead to peace, clarity, and restoration when we follow them. Have We Drifted from God's Design for How We Live? Most of us do not intentionally walk away from God's ways. Instead, we slowly drift. We adopt the pace of the world. We take on its priorities. We begin to normalize exhaustion, striving, and disconnection. From the beginning, God designed us for relationship, rhythm, and trust in Him. When we move outside of that design, it often shows up as: Chronic fatigue or low energy Feeling overwhelmed or mentally scattered A lack of peace or direction This is not about guilt. It is about awareness and invitation. The Bible Gives Principles, Not Protocols Scripture does not give step-by-step instructions for every health decision. It does not tell us: Exactly what to eat What tests to run Or which treatments to choose What it does give us are principles for how to live. These include: Rest and Sabbath Stewardship of the body Forgiveness and healthy relationships Trusting God rather than relying only on human systems When these are overlooked, it is easy to look for complex solutions to what may be a simple misalignment. How Culture Shapes Our View of Health and Womanhood Many of us have absorbed beliefs that do not fully align with truth. For example: Believing productivity defines our worth Feeling pressure to constantly achieve or do more Devaluing rest, home life, or time with family In the area of health, we may also: Rely heavily on experts without seeking God first Chase the next solution, supplement, or trend Look for quick fixes instead of building healthy habits This does not mean modern tools or natural remedies are wrong. It simply means they were never meant to replace wisdom, discernment, and a lifestyle rooted in God's design. Why More Solutions Are Not Always the Answer In both conventional and alternative health spaces, it is easy to believe that the answer is one more thing. Another supplement. Another protocol. Another expert opinion. But if we are not paying attention to: How we spend our time The quality of our relationships Our sleep and rest Our connection with God Then we may continue to feel stuck. Healing is not just about what you take. It is also about how you live. Simple, Foundational Gifts God Has Already Given God has already given us powerful foundations for health. These include: An immune system designed to protect and restore Whole, nourishing foods Rhythms of rest and restoration His Word, which brings truth and life Scripture reminds us that we are not sustained by physical things alone, but by every word that comes from God. When we return to these foundations, we often begin to experience more clarity and peace. Listening to God's Nudge in Your Health Journey If you have been on a health journey for a while, there may already be something you feel prompted to change. It might be: Getting more rest Letting go of something that is not serving you Addressing a relationship or choosing forgiveness Simplifying your approach instead of adding more Instead of searching for the next solution, it may be time to respond to what God has already placed on your heart. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – A question to consider: Is your exhaustion a sign of misalignment? 00:29 – The Bible offers principles for living, not detailed health protocols 00:59 – God's design from the beginning: relationship and connection 02:22 – Cultural messages about womanhood and how they shape our lives 03:15 – Relationships, forgiveness, and returning to biblical truth 03:42 – Outsourcing health decisions versus seeking God first 04:39 – Every part of your life shapes your health 05:37 – The rise of supplements and quick solutions 06:33 – Why solutions alone do not address the root issue 07:02 – The importance of rest, sleep, and daily rhythms 08:00 – God's provision through natural and spiritual foundations 08:30 – Responding to what God is prompting you to do 09:29 – Jesus as healer and source of wisdom 09:58 – When you feel stuck and need support Key Takeaways Your health is shaped by your full lifestyle, not just one decision The Bible provides principles that guide wise, faith-centered health choices Feeling overwhelmed or fatigued may be a signal to pause and realign Natural remedies and modern tools can support you, but they are not the foundation God often leads through simple, consistent healthy habits Paying attention to His guidance can help you take your next step with confidence Call to Action If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what is actually helping your health, you are not alone.
