Remember: There is no such thing as a pink elephant. Recently, I was made aware that my “infohazards small working group” Signal chat, an informal coordination venue where we have frank discussions about infohazards and why it will be bad if specific hazards were leaked to the press or public, accidentally was shared with a deceitful and discredited so-called “journalist,” Kelsey Piper. She is not the first person to have been accidentally sent sensitive material from our group chat, however she is the first to have threatened to go public about the leak. Needless to say, mistakes were made. We're still trying to figure out the source of this compromise to our secure chat group, however we thought we should give the public a live update to get ahead of the story.

We always look forward to conversations with Chris Bentson, Partner of Bentson Copple & Associates and President of the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation. In this episode, Chris delves into his past predictions while casting a visionary gaze into the future of the field. Throughout the episode, he illuminates the transformative impact of technology on orthodontic practices, stressing the paramount importance of embracing digital braces in today's landscape. Chris advocates for a forward-thinking approach, asserting that the future belongs to those willing to adapt. He confronts the reluctance of some older practitioners to embrace digital innovations, debunking notions of expense and investment hesitancy. Chris also underscores the significance of crafting tailored treatment plans and leveraging communication and technology to meet the diverse needs of adult patients. The conversation extends to strategies for reconnecting with former patients and speculates on the future trajectory of OSOs and DSOs. Remember: There's never been a better time to be an Orthodontist.IN THIS EPISODE:(4:52) Chris looks back on his predictions and looks forward to the future(9:44) Chris talks about the way technology has changed the ortho space and how critical it is for offices to embrace digital braces (12:55) Chris discusses aligners digital and remote monitoring, stating that is the future and that it is the older doctors who are not willing to change(15:52) Chris speaks to the doctors who feel digital is too expensive and they don't want to invest(21:15) Discussion of birth rates being down and, therefore, there are fewer kids and appealing to adults(23:02) Chris talks about making a plan, considering limited treatment, and meeting the adult patient where they are through communication and technology(26:58) Discussion of reaching out to former patients and the future of OSOs and DSOsKEY TAKEAWAYS: If you haven't raised your rates in the last two years, raise them tomorrow. You need to take steps to overcome the rising interest rate situation.To make a digital practice work, you must trade staff costs for lab costs. Digital improves the doctor's quality of life inside the practice, allowing them to use the extra time for patients, practice, or lifestyle. The consumer wants digital braces. Orthodontic doctors who are slow to change are the older ones who have mastered analog braces. The younger doctors, 35 - 45 years of age, want to start with digital to get ahead of the shift we are bound to see.RESOURCE LINKSPeople + Practice - WebsiteLeon - EmailAmy - EmailPeople + Practice - EmailBentson Copple - WebsiteBIOGRAPHY: Chris Bentson is a partner of Bentson Copple & Associates in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Do you strongly feel that staying home would be best for your child? Listen in to find out why your hunch is correct and critical. Click here for the show notes and extra resources. We know in our mama's heart that staying home with our children is important because they need us to. Today, my guest confirmed this instinct we have as mothers and why it is critical to do so. What We Talked About: Understanding why the first three years are critical for our child's long-term mental health Why are daycare centers not equipped to support our children's attachment needs What is “consistency of care,” and why is it essential in the early years? What are other critical stages for our children's mental health? The important revolution that needs to happen for the health of families Things to Remember “There is no parenting without presence.” “Without guilt, our conscience isn't working.” “The foundation of resilience is that feeling of security in the first three years.” “Mothers are very attuned to babies' distress.” “If you are present for your children in the first three years, you're encouraging a tremendous amount of neural connections to be formed.” “Your babies are not resilient; your babies are incredibly vulnerable, and they need you.” -Erica Komisar “There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers.” - Dr. Maria Montessori   Click here for the show notes and extra resources.

When you take life too seriously, you can develop an unclear view of what's worth your time and energy. You might find that you spend less time laughing and more time being busy.  When you get caught up in the seriousness of it all, you can miss out on the joyful and happy aspects of life. As that persists, we might find ourselves struggling with making confident decisions, especially about our future. This week my guest is Confidence Coach Tamara Pflug, who believes we can all take life a little too seriously at times. She helps her clients tackle the beliefs or stories that hold them back, and gives them the tools they need to naturally exude more confidence, which helps them in every area of their life. Listen in as Tamara and I discuss: How self-awareness can lead us toward our life purpose. How coaching can help you if you're feeling stuck. How to develop more confidence and enjoy life more.

Welcome back to SEASON 11 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how our brain learns best. Welcome back to PART 6 of our review of Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich. In this classic book on thinking, this book describes how each of us shapes the events around us, creating much of the positive riches in our own personal and professional lives. Rhonda Byrne, creator of the movie The Secret[i], said she stumbled across The Science of Getting Rich and has "never been the same." This was one of the first seminars I sold when I worked with Bob Proctor back in the late 1990s, and he mentioned to me in our interview on EP 66[ii] that his business took off after Rhonda Byrne's The Secret took off. There is true magic within the words written within these pages, and like all of the books we dive deep into, it's the application of what we read here that has the potential to change our life forever. If you enjoyed our Deep Dive into Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich[iii] book, or the 4 Part Series of The Silva Method,[iv] (that I'm going to revisit after this study is complete) the concepts we will cover in this review go hand in hand with those Deep Dives. I'm currently studying Hill's “Think and Grow Rich” with Paul Martinelli[v], who teaches this book like no one else and I'm constantly reminded of how important our ability to “think” really is. Napoleon Hill titled his book with four simple words. He picked “think and grow” as the first three, and we covered in this series the power of our thoughts. Now, we are learning through the words of Wallace D. Wattles, that once we know how to think and grow, we can next add the rich part, and he shows us there is a science to this. I always add that it's not just rich financially, but we grow rich in our knowledge, rich in our potential, and we need money to keep learning, and growing, so yes, rich financially. Bringing us to Chapter 6: HOW RICHES COME TO YOU How do riches come to you? My goal for the END of this review, (after our next episode) is to show that without a shadow of a doubt, we ALL have the ability to “Think and Grow Rich” and That there is a Science to Doing This.  If we can do the hard work involved (using persistence like while reading chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days) we will sharpen our ability to think, make connections and grow from what we've learned. Once we APPLY what we've learned, we will see that failure is not possible. We just need to keep “thinking and growing” and then “Acting in This Certain Way.” Chapter 6 opens up with Wattles urging us to “Give people more in use value than cash value of the thing you take from them” explaining: “The paper, ink and other material in this book may not be worth the money you pay for it, but if the ideas suggested by it bring you thousands of dollars, you have not been wronged by those who have sold it to you. They have given you great use value for small cash value” (Ch 6, SGR, Wattles) “especially if the ideas in this book brings you thousands of dollars.” (Ch 6, SGR, Wattles). So, while acting in this “Certain Way” that Wattles describes, now add, that you must give every others more in use value than you take from them in cash value. In doing so, you are adding to the life of the world. This is why I give my best work away for free on this podcast. I'm putting this chapter into practice by giving more in “use value than I expect back in cash value.” This is also the value behind volunteering our time. Give more in use value to others, than we expect back in cash value. This is the part in this book that dates it back to the early 1900s. He says next that: “If you want a sewing machine (he would) suggest that before you impress the thought of a sewing machine in the thinking substance that you first make sure the image of the machine is clearly formed in your mind.” (Ch 6, SGR, Wattles). This to me is where this book aligns directly with what we learned from Think and Grow Rich, as well as The Silva Method. “After you form the thought, you must have the most and unquestioning faith that the sewing machine is coming.” (Ch 6, SGR, Wattles). This is important. How many times have you heard someone going for something they really want (a sewing machine in Wattles' time or something else in our time- a new job, or something) and they speak about it showing they aren't confident in their attainment of whatever it is they are going for. Wattles says “NEVER think or speak of (what you want) without feeling confident that it will arrive.” (Ch 6, SGR, Wattles). “It will be brought to you by the power of the supreme intelligence.” (Ch 6, SGR, Wattles) who insists that we must not “forget for a moment that the thinking substance is everything” (Ch 6, SGR) and that “you can have anything you want, as long as you use it for the advancement of your life and the lives of others.” (Ch 6, SGR). Next, Wattles talks about a boy who said to him while sitting at a piano “I can feel the music in me but I can't make my hands go right.” He's explaining the boys' desire seeking expression with and through him. The boy knows and feels what he's meant to do, but it's going to take PRACTICE and the right mindset (Thinking in this certain way) to develop this talent in him that could by all means lead him to riches if he works diligently at his skill. We asked this question at the end of our last EPISODE 319, PART 5[vi] of this review. What is YOUR desire that's seeking expression with and through you? This desire in you is “the urge of the Original Substance, containing all the possibilities of life.” I'm not going to skip this part, or leave it out. I will say that Wattles is telling us that it is God who seeks expression with and through us. So, it's TRULY impossible to fail when you feel this desire within you.  But it is up to each one of us to fully develop these God-given talents and abilities within us. It's in Chapter 6 that in the seminar industry, while studying this book, Bob Proctor would always teach the importance of having income from multiple sources, to create wealth. It's not another job, but just adding another income stream to what you've already got. While working in the seminar industry I met many people from all walks of life, and they ALL understood this principle. I talked about what a paradigm shift this concept was for me when I first started to see different ways I could earn money, that were outside of working a job, that runs 9-5 hours on EP 67.[vii]   Putting Chapter 6 into Practice: Listen to The Desire That's Seeking Expression with and Through You and think “how can you create something that give others more USE value than you are taking from them in cash value.” Multiples Sources of Income Ideas Using This Principle: If you want to build income outside of what you do fulltime, Russell Brunson[viii], the co-founder and owner of Clickfunnels is a master as teaching The Value Ladder, that's based on offering people products with high use value, and low cost, to bring them into your “funnel” and offer them more and more cost as they progress along the way. See if any of the ideas I've written below are of interest to YOU to create multiple sources of income over time. Writing a Book: (is one way) to create another source of income, but anyone who has written a book will tell you that the book itself won't make you a lot of money unless you sell thousands of copies. A book can lead you to earn income from other sources like speaking engagements, workshops and courses where you share your knowledge with others, and they would gratefully give you're their money, to learn more. Looking at Brunsons Value Ladder, you can give away a book, or offer it for a low price (have you ever noticed some books are FREE, but you just need to pay for shipping)? This is a common strategy that can lead you into the author's “funnel” where they will upsell you other programs and services.   Online Courses: When I first started putting some of my old courses online, I was amazed when I would receive money into my bank account from people who purchased those courses. The more people want to learn what you are teaching, the more they will purchase the course you have created.   Mastermind Groups: You can now take people who come your way from your training, and offer specialized training for smaller groups. The more people are interested in learning what you “know” they will be happy pay you to be “trained” by you in smaller groups.   Monetizing YouTube: As more and more people want to learn from you, you will have more followers on social media. Once you have 1,000 followers on YouTube, you can begin to earn money for ads that show up during your videos. To earn a lot of money this way, you do need to have a lot (meaning thousands of views of your videos). This one took me some time to build, but since building this one since 2019, I now receive ad funds directly to my business bank account, allowing me to put those funds towards research and development. You can see the progression of our interviews since 2019[ix] Monetize a Podcast: I did try this one out, but stopped, as it's important to me that I'm giving the best content I have, for free on this podcast. In the future, I'll consider putting ads on this podcast (that make sense to my brand), but for now, I'm not using this option. It's much like the money sent to you via YouTube.   OTHER IDEAS: These ideas show that when you provide value (or something that's greater in use value than what you pay for it) that can build you towards significant income over time. I'm sure there are many more ideas that you can come up with. Take out a piece of paper and draw a circle in the middle called MSIs (for multiple sources of income) and brainstorm how many ideas YOU can come up. Off the top of my head, I can think of one of my friends who was a child actor in the movie A Christmas Story. Every year, she receives a royalty check for appearing in that movie, with a speaking role. What other ideas can YOU think of? Find your MSIs, and get to work! Then, Think and Grow…Rich. CHAPTER 7 GRATITUDE  We covered this chapter on EP #317.[x] CHAPTER 8 THINKING IN THE CERTAIN WAY Wattles opens up this next chapter by telling us to “go back to chapter 6 and re-read the story of the man who formed the mental image of his house, and this is the initial step towards getting rich.” (Ch 8, SGR, Wattles). He affirms, “You must have a clear and definite mental picture of what you want. You cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself.” (Ch 8, SGR, Wattles). Which is Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich in action, and the whole concept behind The Silva Method. Before this month ends, I'll be covering a review of our Top 10 episodes of 2023 that had The Silva Method in the top 4 spots, just blowing my mind when I saw the numbers and how many people around the world were interested in learning The Silva Method. I've not yet covered a review of The Silva Ultramind System, that's a step beyond what we covered in that 4-part series but have to mention that there are parts of this program that will expand your thinking, specifically with your ability to create images on your mental screen. No one covers this program like Vishen Lakhiani from Mind Valley[xi].    It's here I learned how to build my mental screen (day 3), solve problems on this screen (day 4), and day 5 I learned to walk through my home, (and anywhere else I'd love to see) through a unique process that projects my mind wherever I'd like to go.  Putting Chapter 8 into Practice: RE-READ CHAPTER 6: Do what Wattles says and go back and re-read the story of the person in Chapter 6 who formed the mental image of building a house in his mind, before he moved towards what he wanted. LOOK AT THE SILVA ULTRA MIND SYSTEM: Look through the 30-day curriculum and see if you'd like to experience it. I'm not affiliated with Mind Valley, but after my friend Hans Ajay told me “this program would change me forever” I've got to agree. There's nothing out there that I've seen so far that teaches Joe Silva's Method, better than this program.  PRACTICE! Pick a time of day that you will practice ‘building images” on the screen of your mind. Whether you use The Silva Method, and just plain old visualization, practicing this skill will help you to Think and Grow… Then it's up to you to apply what you are learning to Grow Rich in potential and Grow Rich financially with your skills and talents. This is a program you can study, and learn from, for many years to come. CHAPTER 9 HOW TO USE THE WILL CHAPTER 10 FURTHER USE OF THE WILL I thought it was interesting that Wattles picked the use of the Will, for chapters 9 and again in 10, with further uses of The Will. This shows me that he recognized that we can work hard, visualizing what we want, and take action with our goals, Thinking and Acting, but if we don't know how to execute the proper use of our will, we will struggle with doing things “The Certain Way” that he suggests. The Will is one of our higher faculties that we covered on EP #294[xii] “Beyond Our Five Senses: Using the 6 Faculties of the Mind” and the Will, gives us the ability to concentrate.  When reviewing the Will on this episode, I mentioned that meditation was one way to strengthen this faculty, along with an exercise of staring at a candle flame until you and the flame become one. Wattles takes the use of the will a step further saying “it's as wrong to coerce people by mental powers as it is by physical power” (Ch 9, SGR, Wattles) so you must only use your Will for yourself, and not to will others to do things for you. You must use your Will “to keep yourself thinking and acting in a certain way.” “Use your mind to form a mental image of what you want and hold this vision with faith and purpose. Use your will to keep your mind working the right way.” (Ch 9, SGR, Wattles). Also, use your Will to prevent yourself from thinking thoughts of doubt and disbelief as “doubt and disbelief is as certain to start a movement away from you as faith and purpose are to start one towards you.” (Ch 9, SGR, Wattles). There are definitely some parts of this book, written in 1910 that you might disagree with, especially when it comes to not talking about poverty, or disease. For those involved heavily in charitable organizations, I do believe that we can all help support organizations, instead of doing what Wattles suggests, and that's to not think about them at all. Or with health, I believe that studying and learning about health has helped me to become healthier, so some parts of this book, I just don't agree with, but I can also see what Wattles was intending when he was writing this book. In chapter 10, The further use of the will, Wattles expands on more uses of the Will to help us to “make the most of ourselves” which is my goal with this podcast. He ends Chapter 10 by reading the syllabus again. Remember: “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, penetrates, permeates and fills the interspaces of the universe.  A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.  You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon the formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.” “In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. They must form a clear mental picture in their thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what they want, and the unwavering faith that they will get what they want—closing their mind to all that may tend to dim their vision, or quench their faith. “  We now see that we must live and act in this Certain Way. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude PART 6 of our review of Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, we covered: Chapter 6: HOW RICHES COME TO YOU Where we learned to listen to the desire that's seeking expression with and through you and think “how can you create something that give others more USE value than you are taking from them in cash value.” We brainstormed ideas for creating multiple sources of income in our life, so that money can begin to come our way even while we are sleeping at night. We learned to THINK and GROW…first, preparing ourselves to be rich in potential and financially second. CHAPTER 8 THINKING IN THE CERTAIN WAY Remembering “You must have a clear and definite mental picture of what you want. You cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself.” (Ch 8, SGR, Wattles). We talked about different programs we can use to further develop whatever it is that we imagine on the mental screen of our minds, (The Silva Ultra Mind Course) or by going back to read Chapter 6 on the importance of building the image of what we want on the screen of our minds first. CHAPTER 9 HOW TO USE THE WILL CHAPTER 10 FURTHER USE OF THE WILL Finally, we looked at the importance of developing the higher faculty of our will, to prevent us from focusing on our doubts and fears, while keeping us focused on improving ourselves for the better, I hope that by diving into the 17 Chapters of Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, you are making connections with how you can do things in this Certain Way, building faith in the fact that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE when follow the principles Wattles outlines in this classic book on thinking.

PART 5 REVIEW of The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles Welcome back to PART 5 of our review of Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich. In this classic book on thinking, this book describes how each of us shapes the events around us, creating much of the positive riches in our own lives. Rhonda Byrne, creator of the movie The Secret[i], said she stumbled across The Science of Getting Rich and has "never been the same." This was one of the first seminars I sold when I worked with Bob Proctor back in the late 1990s, and he mentioned to me in our interview on EP 66[ii] that his business took off after Rhonda Byrne's The Secret took off. There is true magic within the words written within these pages, and like all of the books we dive deep into, it's the application of what we read here that has the potential to change our life forever. It took me some time to review this book, honestly, because many of the concepts I didn't fully understand myself. It's taken me over 25 years to finally grasp the meaning behind the timeless concepts that Wattles wrote about in 1910, and writing this series has helped me to refine my own thinking, in addition to sharing what I'm learning here with you, wherever you might be listening in the world. If you enjoyed our Deep Dive into Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich[iii] book, or the 4 Part Series of The Silva Method,[iv] the concepts we will cover in this review go hand in hand with those Deep Dives. I read this review about this book and it caught my eye.   No student of thought should be without this historic book. Think about this for a minute. Read this book and do it exactly as written and you will see HOW failure is impossible. This is the PERFECT book and series to launch 2024 with. On today's episode #319 we will cover: ✔ CHAPTER 1: THE RIGHT TO BE RICH  “There is nothing wrong with wanting more in life. No man is to be happy with little.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles) ✔ CHAPTER 2 THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH With some thoughts on what the title of this book makes you think about. ✔ CHAPTER 3 IS OPPORTUNITY MONOPOLIZED? What is it that YOU really want? Do you think you can achieve it? ✔ CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH We covered this chapter on EP 315 in PART 2[v] of this REVIEW where I challenged everyone to read chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days. Keep reading. ✔ CHAPTER 5: INCREASING LIFE Why must we develop our Mind, Body and Spirit? Welcome back to SEASON 11 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how our brain learns best. At the end of each year, we review timeless and important books that were recommended to me when I worked in the motivational speaking industry in the late 1990s, and my goal is to see how science can inform us as we move towards our goals in 2024, (whether it with the interviews we will host) or by diving into what I saw working over and over again in the speaking industry, so we can all be the most improved, 2.0 version of ourselves. This year, we are reviewing Wallace D. Wattles The Science of Getting Rich book that was written in 1910. I've set the stage for the application of this book by asking us to begin or end our study by reading chapters 4/14/7 in this order for 90 days. The order is important. This is where our review began. If you can do this one activity, I promise you that the magical words that Wattles wrote on the pages of this book, will begin to have significant meaning to you. In PART 1[vi] we saw the importance of opening up our minds to prosperity thinking, (that there is more than enough for all of us vs poverty consciousness that there is not enough) and PART 2[vii] we focused on the power of our thoughts, specifically with how to “think and act in this certain way” to achieve the results we are talking about here. We gave examples of two distinct types of thinkers, encouraging all of us to open the keyhole in the door (or kick down the door) and expand of level of awareness in this process. With PART 3[viii] of our review, we explored Chapter 14, on The Impression of Increase, with two suggestions for Acting in this Certain Way with everyone we interact with. Look to where you can give others genuine compliments, pointing out their accomplishments and efforts, and always look for where you can assist others with your resources. Then on PART 4, we covered Chapter 7 on Gratitude that connected us directly with our source of supply. Let's now dive into the rest of the chapters of this timeless book, keeping in mind where the heart of this book exists. We must understand the syllabus. I'll read it here, and again at the end, and my hope is that the secret that Wattles intends us to “see” will reveal itself to you, and like Rhonda Byrnes, who read this book, and was never the same, I hope that something new is revealed to you, changing your thinking in some way, and helping you to see if you can do things in this Certain Way, that failure is impossible.  Remember: Getting Rich is the result of doing things in a certain way. We help ourselves first, then we look for ways to help others do the same. Before we begin, do you have questions about this syllabus like I did when I first read this book? Here's mine: Q1: What is this thinking stuff from which all things are made that fills the inter spaces of the universe? Wattles says, it's everywhere, but what is it? My Answer: It is formless, supremely intelligent and permeates everything around us—including organic and inorganic things and the spaces between them. Wattles uses many terms interchangeably to describe this substance. After reading and studying this book for over 2 decades, I came to see this “thinking stuff” as my Source, which I call God. You might call it something else, but naming it while reading this book can help to see its power and why “a thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.” This essentially is what prayer is. “A person can form things in their thoughts (or like through prayer) and by impressing their thoughts upon the formless substance (your source of Supply or God), can cause the thing they think about to be created.” When you break this syllabus down a bit, it doesn't seem so “far out there.”  I am certain that Wattles is describing the power of prayer. To put the syllabus into practice, think about where you feel the most connected to this source.  It is everywhere, but some of us might feel this connection in nature, like I've described while hiking in the mountains, near water (or the Ocean) like scientist and activist Dr. Wallace J Nichols talked about on EP 297[ix] this past summer. Wherever you feel the most connected, just trust that there is something bigger than you, that will help you to produce whatever it is that you “image” in your thoughts. Let's look at the remaining chapters of the book. CHAPTER 1 THE RIGHT TO BE RICH  Wattles says that “No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development (our fullest) potential without money.”  In the pages of my notebook, I wrote “thought always proceeds the action” or “what's coming, we think about.” I don't need to look far to say this isn't so, as we witness this with our two girls and competitive gymnastics. As with any sport or skill, it takes money to learn these skills, and it was a good year that our oldest daughter would ask to join the competitive team at her gym before we agreed to it. Later, she let me know that she used to watch YouTube videos of gymnasts training, and she knew this is what she wanted to do with all of her heart. There was much thought in her mind that happened a good year BEFORE she even tried out to be a part of this team. The same goes with the material you are studying now. I watched people pay thousands of dollars to attend each seminar to learn this information from the best teachers in the world. Many who wanted to attend, couldn't not pay the tuition. You can always read this book on your own, or watch videos to learn new skills, but to immerse yourself with the best teachers in the world, the easiest way is to pay for an exchange of their knowledge for your money.  “To unfold the soul and develop talent” we cannot do these things unless you have the money to pay for them.  Which leads me back to why I'm giving away everything I've learned over the years, for FREE, on this podcast. I know this is what I am meant to do. I was fortunate enough to learn directly from some of the best teachers in the world, and now, I am meant to give back in this way. For now, this podcast remains ad free for this reason. It has always been important to me that I put the best work I've got, out to the world, for free, because of the principles within the pages of this book.  What I want for myself, I want for others. When you find your place, you will know where you have room to give back. I do think that Wattles intends us to all get to this place where we shift our thinking from “what can I get” to “how can I help others” with my talents and abilities. Part 1 of this series we spent on prosperity consciousness vs poverty for this reason. If you're listening and are struggling with this concept, go back and listen to Part 1 where we dove into two ways of thinking about money.  This is an important lesson because we will need it to “reach our fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles). “Success in life is becoming what you want to be” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles) so for my daughter who begged us to join competitive gymnastics, it was her desire seeking expression with and through her, (to do this sport) but it takes money to do this.  I think back to my early days, when I wanted to become a teacher it took money to pay for my teacher training. If you want to learn business strategies, same idea. Whatever we want, it begins with a desire in our thoughts, and what's coming our way, we will think about, usually long before we take action towards it. What about you? Whenever we have wanted to learn, grow and advance ourselves in our lives and careers, it takes money to do this. Remember: “There is nothing wrong with wanting more in life. No man is to be happy with little.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles). What do you think when you hear this? Do you agree with Wattles? Over the years I became more comfortable with “wanting more in life” and when I was living my most lean years, I made sure to spend my leisure time in places that made me “feel” the abundance that Wattles was describing when he said “there is nothing wrong with wanting.”  I often sat writing in the lobby of the most beautiful resorts I could find to keep my thinking away from poverty and more towards prosperity thinking. Wattles writes that “No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has the money to buy them with.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles). Like my daughter's gymnastics training, or what we must do to pay for new skills we want to acquire. Wattles writes that “Man's right to life means his right to have free and unrestricted use of the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles). “No man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and soul.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles). Be sure to develop all three parts of us (our body, mind and soul). “Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles). Think about this for a minute. What is it in you that is “unexpressed possibility” that you could nurture and grow in 2024? For me, it's clear and obvious. If I was unable to research, read books, and then work on integrating this new information in my life, and then share what I'm learning with you, I would not be truly happy. Hosting this podcast (is my desire seeking expression) is driven by an unrelentless desire for me to keep researching, learning, and sharing anything that can help us to all improve our productivity and results. What about you? What is it that you must do? What is your desire that is “possibility seeking expression” in you? This is a good thing to know for ourselves, and then look at see if you can notice it in others. Before moving to chapter 2, I think we have given some good examples as to why there is nothing wrong with wanting to have enough money to develop our body, mind and soul, to nurture our “desires” or our “possibility seeking expression” or “function seeking performance” so we can be truly happy ourselves, before we begin to think of how we can extend our hand outwards, to help others. CHAPTER 2 THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH Before we go any further, I wonder, what comes up for you when you saw the title of this book?  Do you think of the TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and the famous, like me? The title of this book is one of the reasons I didn't want to cover it on this podcast in the first place. While I see the importance of earning money, I'm not one to want to “be rich” and when multi-million-dollar yachts sail past me, they don't catch my eye. I've never been drawn to anything excessive so covering a book about “getting rich” was not on the top of my list. I can recognize others like me while I'm interviewing them. The inventor of GDV technology, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, from EP 307[x] mentioned that while he enjoys inventing, he's not as good with the business side of things. He writes in his books that when he went on some of his exciting trips around the world, he just took his sandals, and a hat to keep the sun off his face. So, if you are like me, not very interested in “Getting Rich” and the title of this book deterred you a bit, just see if there is something we can learn together. It's here my mentor, Bob Proctor, would send me back to PART 1[xi] of this series, and work on my prosperity thinking. He would remind me that “nobody can have all he wants without plenty of money.” (Chapter 1, SGR, Wattles). And I would come back to Chapter 2 with an expanded and open mind. This Certain Way has to do with Prosperity Thinking vs Poverty. REMEMBER: “There is a Science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic.” (Chapter 2, SGR, Wattles) and we have discovered that it's about thinking and acting in a certain way. “There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches and when these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.” (Ch 2, SGR, Wattles). If you were to study this book through Bob Proctor's Seminars, it's here that he would cover the 7 Laws of the Universe, where he would say that doing things in this “certain way” would be according to these Natural Laws that Wattles mentions in Chapter 2. We were not taught these laws in school, and I'm not going to cover them here, but I will say that “it doesn't matter WHAT we're doing, it matters HOW we are doing it.” We will cover “this certain way” in this book study, so at the end of these chapters, we will have a clear strategy on HOW to THINK AND ACT in this certain way, that Wattles describes and “those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich; while those who do not do things in this Certain Way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.” And “nobody can have all he wants without plenty of money.” (Chapter 1, SGR, Wattles). Here's An Example: Have you ever seen two businesses on the same side of the road, and one is thriving while the other is not? Wattles addresses this when he says that Getting Rich is “not a matter of environment” (Ch 2, SGR, Wattles) even though “some environments may be more favorable than others” but the success one person experiences is a result of “Doing Things in This Certain Way.” Wattles also says that “the ability to do things in this certain way is not due solely to the possession of talent, for many people who have great talent, remain poor, while others who have very little talent get rich.”  He says that “if you study people who have gotten rich, we find they are an average lot in all respects, having no greater talents and abilities than other men.” (Ch 2, SGR, Wattles). They got rich by “Doing Things in This Certain Way.” We covered this concept in PART 1[xii] of this review, as “Doing Things in This Certain Way” begins with prosperity thinking versus poverty mindset. Let's keep going and see what else we can add to open up our understanding in this timeless book and of Doing Things in This Certain Way that Wattles describes. CHAPTER 3 IS OPPORTUNITY MONOPOLIZED? Chapter 3 is a good chapter for anyone who is worried that an opportunity that they really want, will pass them by. Wattles explains that “No man is kept poor because opportunity has been taken away from him; because other people have monopolized the wealth, and have put a fence around it.” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles). This is where the “thinking stuff” comes into play. It matters what thoughts we think, and put out into the world. When we think “oh, there's no way I will ever do xyz” then that's the message you've sent out to the formless substance. It might sound crazy, but just stay with me here. If Wallace D. Wattles wrote these principles in 1910, and they closely match Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, and Jose Silva's The Silva Method, then why not just test this out for yourself for some time. The only thing we lack is awareness…and in order to open up our awareness, we must kick down the door, and look at the opportunity that's available to all of us.  Wattles explains that “The visible supply is practically inexhaustible; and the invisible supply really IS inexhaustible. (Economics teaches us there is a limited supply but Wattles is telling us that human attention is the only thing that is scarce). Everything you see on earth is made of one substance, out of which all things proceed. New Forms are constantly being made, and older ones are dissolving; but all shapes are assumed by One Thing. There is no limit to the supply of the Formless Stuff, or Original Substance.” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles). Abundance is here, we just might not be able to “see” it if it's on a different level of vibration than our current level of thinking. This is where we come to understand that “the resources of the formless supply are at the command of any man or woman who will act and think in a certain way” then “the Secret to Life” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles) is available to all of us. Whatever it is that you desire, (that possibility that seeks expression with and through you) it is possible to achieve, with time, effort, hard work and focus. Like our daughters who begged us to join gymnastics, they were both willing to put in the hard work to develop the skills needed to push them both through difficult times to bring their visions into form) or for me, to know that I can never sit somewhere and not be reading a book, or writing an episode, that I'll record and put out into the world. I'm willing to put in the time and effort to make sure these episodes are my best work, offering our listeners something unique, something they couldn't just get from the internet, or from Google, which puts this show at the top of the charts (in Neuroscience[xiii] and SEL[xiv]) each year. What is it for you? What is it that's seeking expression through you? It might be a book you want to write, and you think, “Oh that book's already been written” or you think someone else might be better at what you want to do. Until you step forward and try, you'll be holding yourself back from expressing the possibility that wants to be expressed within you. Remember: The invisible supply is inexhaustible. The supply will never run short. If you come to this chapter, and are aware of something that might be holding you back from something you desire, it's here that you can look at your paradigms, or beliefs that we covered in depth of EP 67.[xv] If you are with me here, and know what it is that is seeking expression with and through you, (whatever it is that you desire) and you are not worried that someone else will take your place, keep reading this book. CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH We covered this chapter on EP 315 in PART 2[xvi] of this REVIEW where I challenged everyone to read chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days. Keep reading. CHAPTER 5: INCREASING LIFE Wattles explains that “Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life, because life, in the mere act of living, must increase itself.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles). There is nothing wrong for wanting to be/do/have more in our lives. Wattles says that “We want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it's time to do these things, see distant lands, feed your mind and develop your intellect; in order that you may love men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world find truth.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles). Brian Proctor talked about this concept on our interview EP 292[xvii] this past summer because this is one chapter that Bob Proctor lived every day. He gave the impression of increase to EVERYONE. I remember when I was moving from Toronto to the US in 2001, with barely any money in my pocket, but an incredible vision for where I was going, and Bob said to me “Andrea, are you flying first class to Arizona?” I almost fell off the chair I was sitting on. Of course, I wasn't flying first class! It would be a few years before I sat in first class on an airplane, but Bob wanted me to see that sitting in first class was definitely an option. It was just an option that took me a few years to grasp. Wattles says it this way. “A seed, dropped into the ground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more seeds; life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever Becoming More; it must do so, if it continues to be at all. Intelligence is under this same necessity for continuous increase. Every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think another thought; consciousness is continually expanding. Every fact we learn leads us to the learning of another fact; knowledge is continually increasing. Every talent we cultivate brings to the mind the desire to cultivate another talent; we are subject to the urge of life, seeking expression, which ever drives us on to know more, to do more, and to be more.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles). It's here that learning to live beyond our 5 senses, what our senses pick up, and develop the 6 faculties of our mind: our perception, reason, will, memory, imagination and intuition that we covered on EP 294[xviii] come into play. When Proctor asked me if I was flying first class to Arizona, he planted the seed in my mind that flying first class was a great way to travel. Proctor planted many seeds in my mind in the 6 years I worked in the seminar industry. Now, I feel like it's my obligation to share what I learned, to help others. Wattles reminds us to “make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles.) You must live for yourself, (finding the right balance with just enough) for yourself first, and then help look for how you can help others. If you come from the competitive mindset, (if you've been conditioned to either WIN or LOSE) this next concept might take some additional effort. Wattles reminds us to “get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created. You do not have to take anything away from from anyone.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles). “Riches secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent” Wattles says. They are yours today and another's tomorrow.  Remember if you are to become rich in a scientific and certain way, you must rise entirely out of competitive thought. You must never think for a moment that the supply is limited. This will drop you into the competitive mind the moment you begin to think that all the money is being cornered and controlled by the bankers and others…Know that the money you need will come when you need it. Live by this absolute truth.  “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, penetrates, permeates and fills the interspaces of the universe.  A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.  You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon the formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.” REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude PART 5 of our review of Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, we covered: CHAPTER 1: THE RIGHT TO BE RICH  “There is nothing wrong with wanting more in life. No man is to be happy with little.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles) “To unfold the soul and develop talent” we cannot do these things unless you have the money to pay for them.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles) Then we talked about how our desire is “possibility seeking expression” with and through us, and we can look within ourselves to discover what our true desires are that we must express. My daughter, wanted to train in competitive gymnastics, which requires money “to unfold her soul and develop her talent.” I know that to unfold my soul, I must spend my leisure time studying, learning, and then sharing what I am learning to help others. Money is required for both of these examples. What is YOUR desire that's seeking expression with and through you? CHAPTER 2 THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH There is a Science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic.” (Chapter 2, SGR, Wattles) and we have discovered that it's about thinking and acting in a certain way. Wattles describes that “those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich; while those who do not do things in this Certain Way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.” My goal with this review of Wattles' SGR book is to show us that we ALL have the same ability, the ability to “think” and “act” in a certain way, (with prosperity thinking vs poverty thinking) and that once we have learned to think and act this way for ourselves, we can then turn our focus onto others and add tremendous value and abundance to someone else's life. CHAPTER 3 IS OPPORTUNITY MONOPOLIZED? In this chapter, we come to understand that “the resources of the formless supply are at the command of any man or woman who will act and think in a certain way” and that “the Secret to Life” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles) is available to all of us. It's here that we see that there is something that's seeking expression with and through you, (whatever it is that you desire) and you are not worried that someone else will take your place. Nothing is impossible. CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH We covered The First Principle of “thinking and acting in this certain way” on EP 315 in PART 2[xix] of this REVIEW where I challenged everyone to read chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days. When reading Chapter 4, every day, the words will begin to have meaning to you, and your thinking will change, I promise you. In this chapter, I began to think: What do I really want? How am I thinking? Thinking is difficult! And slowly, with time, I began to see that nothing is impossible. CHAPTER 5: INCREASING LIFE We learned that it's important to “make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way” and that “we are impelled to know more, be more and do more.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles.) We want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it's time to do these things, see distant lands, feed your mind and develop your intellect; in order that you may love men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world find truth.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles). There is nothing wrong with wanting to develop our mind/body and spirit. In doing so, we uncover whatever it is that's seeking expression in ourselves, that we want to develop in ourselves. Once we have developed ourselves, we can figure out ways to help others to do the same. Each chapter in The Science of Getting Rich helps to build our understanding of what it is that we are meant to do in this world, with an unwavering belief that we cannot fail. Once we have done this, we lend our hand to help others. Remember: “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, penetrates, permeates and fills the interspaces of the universe.  A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.  You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon the formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.” “In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. They must form a clear mental picture in their thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what they want, and the unwavering faith that they will get what they want—closing their mind to all that may tend to dim their vision, or quench their faith. “ Can you see how Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich goes hand in hand with Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and The Silva Method? How NOTHING is impossible? How we are the product of our thoughts. What we think, we become? Next episode, we will cover chapters 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 that will lead us all to Chapters 13, 15, 16, 17 and the conclusion of this book review. See you next time.

In this episode, I talk about the overall effects of discipline and consistency, not worrying about being ready but moving anyways, how authenticity is our north compass and gives us more direction than we can imagine, how we derive our value and identity, knowing that the real things we should own are intangible (our time, life, energy, talents & story), knowing that what's right for us won't come in confusion but instead joy, peace, patience, value and love, how we really define happiness, finding clarity, arranging your work around your life instead of the other way around and more!Follow me on Instagram @mattgottesmanJump on my weekly texts for the soul here 480-530-7352My writing mattgottesman.substack.com RESOURCES:1- FREE Reverse Engineer Your Life (Clarity Course): Time, Energy, Money, Creativity, Work, Rest & Play - https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life2- BOOK LIST - Interesting Topics in Art, Spirituality, Happiness, Philosophy, Building Wealth, Entrepreneurship, Relationships & Other Memos I wish were mainstream - https://amzn.to/40JQsNs 3- Write, Design, Build - MASTERCLASS - Creating the best niche content… around you & growing your audience, reach, voice, passion & income - CLICK HEREOTHER RELATED EPISODES:When There's a Plot Twist, Remember There's the Next Scene Where It All Comes TogetherApple: https://apple.co/3RLZPseSpotify: https://spoti.fi/48eUala

“A person's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfolding — in other words, his right to be rich.” Wallace D. Wattles On today's episode #314 we will cover: ✔ The hidden meaning behind Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich ✔ What is Prosperity Consciousness vs Poverty Consciousness, and how do YOU think? ✔ Why do Giver's Gain? ✔ How Can We Best Prepare to Learn the Timeless Principles in this book that was published in 1910?    “Wait a minute, are you telling me that we are going to cover the importance of developing a prosperity mindset on this podcast?” you ask? How is this related to neuroscience? I'm going to say “yes, we are” and I'll tie the importance of this to science with Mark Waldman and Chris Manning's Book Neurowisdom: The New Brain Science of Money, Happiness and Success[i] that focuses on helping people create more “wealth” in their lives.  This book opens up in Chapter 1 by asking us to choose if we would pick happiness or wealth, and they said that 90% of the people they surveyed over the past decade actually picked happiness over wealth (Chapter 1, Neurowisdom) but the book goes on to explain that the newest economic research disagrees with this. They found that it's really the other way around. “Wealth predicts happiness, and the more you make, the happier you actually become.” (Chapter 1, Neurowisdom). This is not the main reason why I finally decided to cover Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich on this podcast, but if the research says that “our wealth predicts our happiness” I thought that there is never a better time than now, to cover the seminar I sold in the late 1990s, that transformed my thinking from poverty consciousness, to prosperity. Now this didn't happen overnight, or immediately. I'm going to share my journey over the past 25 years, along with all of the notes I took studying while this book, watching my own paradigms change slowly, and then watching how other people around me would use what they were learning for improved results in their life.  Here's the important part that I don't want any of us to miss. Once we have learned to successfully use the principles we will be studying in this book ourselves, we can then take the focus off ourselves, and look for ways to give back to others. You will see that there are many messages within the pages of this book, and this one, is what I think to be THE MOST IMPORTANT. I'm hoping that studying these timeless principles in this manner will help you the listener to connect either to my way of thinking, (someone who was raised with one parent who might have instilled poverty consciousness in your mind-or said things to you like “money doesn't grow on trees” over the years, or those people I'll use as examples who grasped prosperity thinking with ease, so that you can take the principles and fine-tune your own way of thinking, and acting, to achieve the results I know are possible for all of us. Once we have applied them in our own life, it will be time to look outside of ourselves and give back. The Shortest Summary of The Science of Getting Rich What's the message behind the Deep Dive we are going to take into Wallace D. Wattle's classic book on thinking, the book that describes how each of us shapes the events around us, creating much of the positive riches in our own lives? The book that Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret, said she stumbled across and has "never been the same?"  The book that was behind one of the seminars I sold in the late 1990s when I worked in the motivational speaking industry with Bob Proctor from EP #66[ii]. I did see an article written by John Rogers[iii] that summarized the book and he got it right.  He said “Here's the shortest summary of The Science of Getting Rich you'll ever read: Think and act creatively to add value to others.” I would agree, but might change it a bit to say that this book we will be covering this month is all about how to “think and act creatively in your life first, and then look outwards, and see how you can help others.” It all begins with understanding the syllabus that echoes throughout ALL the chapters in the book about how getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way. If you look at the scroll in the show notes, of this important syllabus, this was handed out in every seminar Bob Proctor conducted of The Science of Getting Rich and I mentioned it when we covered PART 3[iv] of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. Until this year, I would say that I had no idea what the syllabus meant.  While I read it over and over again, from 1999 to this year, 2023, I couldn't explain it to anyone, until I understood the Quantum World connecting Dr. Dispenza's work and Dr. Dan Siegel's, to the “thinking space” that Wallace Wattles describes. Isn't it amazing how we acquire wisdom? I can easily look at the syllabus now and connect it to the Quantum World (where all possibility exists), where time and space collapses and you can literally BECOME your dream. But it took me some time to gain this understanding. Stewart Edward White explains how AHA Moments of Learning can change us, in his poem where he shares: “Curious how we acquire wisdom! Over and over again, the same truth is thrust under our very noses. We encounter it in action; we are admonished of it; we read it in the written word. We suffer the experience; we gradually assent to the advice; we approve, intellectually, the written word. But nothing happens inside us. Then, one day, some trivial experience or word or encounter stops us short. A gleam of illumination penetrates the depth of our consciousness. We see! Usually it is but a glimpse; but on rare occasions a brilliant flash reveals truth fully formed. And we marvel that this understanding has escaped us so long.” Do you know what I mean? Have you ever heard something you knew was important, but it just didn't click? (The same truth is thrust under our very noses)…until “one day some trivial experience or word or encounter stops us short.” You've got to know what I'm talking about here. Why do we see something NEW in the words we've heard over and over again, and weren't ready to hear them?  What is it that makes us “finally see…a brilliant flash…revealing truth fully formed?” What is this concept? Why does this happen? Have you ever heard “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear?” Just be OPEN as we cover this book. You might hear something you've heard over and over again in the past, but you've missed its significance somehow. Something that can CHANGE your entire world, and then those around you, once you've grasped and implemented it. I'm going to suggest it's the understanding of this syllabus that holds the “secret” to implementing the principles outlined in The Science of Getting Rich. If we can understand this syllabus, enough that we can LIVE IT in our daily life, then strange and marvelous things will begin to occur in our lives, with constant regularity. It will only be when we are LIVING these words, or “doing things in a certain way” that we will know we've got the meaning of this book. And what's crazy to me is that the meaning of this book has taken me 25 years to understand. I'm hoping that my AHA Moment will help YOU, where ever you are in the world, to “think” and “act” in this certain way, that Wallace D. Wattles wrote about in 1910. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain. On today's episode #314 we launch into a Deep Dive on Wallace D. Wattles The Science of Getting Rich. This book was first published in 1910, and while you will notice some examples will date the book (like in Chapter 6 Wattles picks something he thinks we might all want in our lives) when he says “If you really want a sewing machine..” as an example. While I'm sure there is someone out there listening, who would LOVE a sewing machine, if this example from 1910 doesn't resonate with you, then just pick something else that does to go in its place. You can also scan The Table of Contents and pick out some other places his book is not with the times.  Chapter 15 is called “The Advancing Man” and can be changed by thinking of this chapter as “The Advancing Person” to show that in modern times, men and women are equally advancing in their fields of work. While some of the examples Wattles picks will date the book to 1910, the main principles he writes about are timeless. What's interesting to me is that The Science of Getting Rich preceded similar success books such like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill (1937) that we covered in January of 2022[v]. In the 100 years since its publication, The Science of Getting Rich has gone through many editions, and remains in print from more than one publisher. For today's deep dive, I'm not going to cover the book chapter by chapter. You can pick up the book and read it yourself, or you can listen to the entire book on YouTube. I'll connect these tools in the resource section. You can even buy the audio program of the seminar I used to sell, which is Bob Proctor's[vi] version of the book, through his company's website. Or you can Google the book and find the audio online, or some other people's versions and summaries of what the book is about. All of these ideas will get you the main concepts of this book, but for this deep dive, I'm going to cover the book the way Bob Proctor suggested we read it because it matters “how” we read The Science of Getting Rich for the principles to jump out at us in a way that we will NOT miss them. I don't want the ideas in these pages to escape you, as they have tremendous power. Not just for you, but for everyone YOU connect with in your future once you have begun to implement these ideas, and you are operating in “this certain way.” Today I'm not going to just read through the chapters, but I'll share the notes, insights and Aha moments I learned from selling this seminar (the first one was Denver in June 1999) with ideas, thoughts and suggestions to implement the timeless concepts in this book, into ALL OUR daily lives, so that these Success Principles can have the most impact on you and those you'll interact with in your lifetime. Let's Begin Our Journey into the Pages of Wallace D. Wattles: The Science of Getting Rich. I want to begin with the title…because the title alone could deter some of you who might think I'm going to cover a book that's about creating wealth so that we can go out and buy more things that will make us happy. This isn't at all what the book is about, nor what Wattles intended, but without an explanation, I'm sure many people would bypass this book and miss his intention. Let's Go Back to Denver, CO June 5th, 1999 This was the FIRST time I ever took this seminar, and thinking back, it was just 2 months after the Columbine Tragedy that shook our schools in the US to the core. I remember at this time I had just left the classroom, and wanted to find ways to help our next generation of students to “think” and “create” so after I had helped the attendees find their seats, I joined a table, opened up the pages the notebook that I'd carry with me 25 years later, and I began to study this “little green book” called The Science of Getting Rich. What's Your Money Mindset? Prosperity or Poverty? I remember before we even got to chapter 1 of the book, or any of the words Wallace Wattles wrote about, we spent the WHOLE first evening on our Money Mindset, making sure we knew the difference between a Prosperity Consciousness, versus Poverty Consciousness.  If you go to Amazon and type “prosperity consciousness” into the search field, you will see book after book written on the importance of having a money mindset. Now remember that many of our beliefs, biases and prejudices lie underneath the water in the iceberg analogy, so you might “think” you've got a prosperity consciousness, but deep down, under the water there, you've got someone else's programming (like a well-meaning parent who told you hey, money doesn't grow on trees) and it's going to take you some time to change these paradigms before you'll be able to see the results I'm promising are possible with this book. It's here we would cover the power of understanding our paradigms with Joel Barker's famous quote. “To ignore the power of paradigms is to put yourself at risk when exploring the future. Your future will look much the same as the past until you understand the power of your paradigms and what it takes to change them.” Sitting at the table at my FIRST SGR Seminar, in 1999, I knew I had a lot of work to do with my programming and thinking. The most money I had ever earned was my teaching salary, that was great money for someone in their early 20s just starting out, but here I began speaking and networking with others who had begun to put these principles into practice. I met people from all over the world at this seminar, from all different walks of life, and I could tell that we were all at different levels of thinking when it came to our prosperity mindset. I met truck drivers, teachers like me, business owners, inventors, writers, athletes and even some well-known celebrities, and everyone I met spoke about how they had over time, learned to create multiple sources of income with their work. We will cover this more in depth later, but I started to notice my paradigms around earning money, and saw them changing with each person I met.  I talked about some of the lessons I learned from others during these seminars on EP67.[vii] Once you have thought hard about your own money mindset, you will either resonate with me (someone who knew in those early days that I didn't have a prosperity mindset) or you'll connect more to others I'll speak about who very clearly did.  We are ALL at different places, but just recognize where you are, BEFORE we read the chapters of this book. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Easily put, it's because Giver's Gain. Our goal in life is to not be good little “go-getters” but see how we can go out and “give” back to others. We can't give to others if we have nothing to give, so learning these principles for ourselves is the FIRST step towards being about to provide more for others in your life.  I remember one of the first events I attended where we were to meet as many people in the room, and we were to ask everyone we met first “how can I help YOU” before even once thinking about what I needed for myself. It was a powerful concept that Dr. Ivan Misner[viii] talks about in his book Infinite Giving. I wonder, do you have a limit to what you would give someone else? Where is your money mindset when it comes to what you would give freely and openly to someone else? I'm sure we have all been conditioned by now to buy a coffee for someone in line behind you, and might even dish out $20 or $30 to give back to someone else. But would you give someone something really big, like a car? Now I'm not talking to Oprah here, as I'm sure we have all heard that she often gives away big presents to people. What about someone regular, like you and me? Or someone who's not a celebrity as we've already determined that two people can have completely different levels of thinking here. WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE A CAR? Just think about this for a minute. There's someone I know who owns a lot of cars. It's just his thing. He has always loved cars. He loves buying them, fixing them, and just seems to have an eye for this type of thing. One day I said to him “why do you need so many cars? Would you ever consider giving one away to your good friend who I know would love one of these cars?” He didn't say no, but looked at me with a strange look. Almost like he heard me, but didn't know what to say. We talked about it for a bit and he said he would keep his eye open for something his friend might like. I know it sounds strange, hey, would you give someone you know a car? But I asked the question, and that was all I needed to do.  A few months later, he came to me and said “hey, I entered a raffle, and the Grand Prize was a black Camaro Sports car.” I looked at him, and said “Don't you already have a Camaro (in red)?” and he said “yes, it's so weird, I won the exact same car I already own in black” and he showed me a photo of the car, and explained this wasn't a scam, but he had won this car, with a cash value of $90,000. Then he said “When I entered the raffle, I said a prayer that if I won the car, I would give one of my cars that I don't need to my good friend” (the one I had said would LOVE to have one of his cars). So he won the car, and was telling me that he was going to find a way to deliver one of his cars to his friend on Thanksgiving Day as a surprise. He picked a black IROC car that had meaning to his friend, and here's a photo of his friend with his new car over Thanksgiving weekend. When you learn to “think and act” in a certain way, strange and marvelous things will occur in your life, with constant regularity. This is just one example of someone who implemented the principles of The Science of Getting Rich and was able to give back to someone else immediately. Reminding us that: “God's gift to you is more talent and ability than you will ever use in one lifetime. Your gift to God is to develop and utilize as much of that talent and ability as you can, in this lifetime.   Steve Bow” Whether you believe in God or not, I'm going to share the principles Wallace D. Wattles teaches in his book, The Science of Getting Rich to show all of us that there is tremendous value in the pages of this book, and on our next episode, we will dive into Chapters 4, 14 and 7 (in that order) as we begin to implement the concepts in this classic book of “thinking” and “acting” in a certain way, that has the potential to change your life and those around you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude Part 1 of Wallace D. Wattles The Science of Getting Rich, we have not even opened the pages of the book yet. We have started with a thorough review of our mindset. Do we have a prosperity consciousness where we could conceive of giving something (like a car) to someone else, or do we live in a world of lack and limitation where we couldn't possibility see how to do this? My goal with this review of Wattles' SGR book is to show us that we ALL have the same ability, the ability to “think” and “act” in a certain way, and that once we have learned to think and act this way for ourselves, we can then turn our focus onto others and add tremendous value and abundance to someone else's life. This is what I think is the SECRET message held within the pages of this book, and I look forward to unravelling more secrets to “thinking” and “acting” in this certain way as we make our way through this book. REMEMBER: “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which is its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imagined by the thought. A person can form things in their thought, and by impressing their thoughts upon the formless substance, can cause the thing they think about to be created.” There was no accident that person won a car, after praying about it, with the goal of giving a gift to his friend. This happened exactly as Wattles describes it would in this book. Remember: Be careful what you think about, speak about, and pray about.  Your thoughts hold more power than you might think. I'll see you next week for PART 2 of this series.

Do you wonder how other people do this whole parenting thing? Listen in to find out how my guest navigates. Click here for show notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, your parenting mentor. Sometimes, life and motherhood can throw you some curveballs. Today, my guest had a few of her own challenges and shared how she has managed them all. What We Talked About: The grief she feels raising her neurodivergent children How to guide our children through the grief process Her daughter's journey of navigating life with a sibling with Apert Syndrome How to foster support raising a Neurodivergent child How she manages parenting and sibling dynamics while caring for a special needs child The need for maternal support from the community  Things to Remember “There really is no way to teach or mentor someone to parent.” “How you love your child and how you learn to love yourself is the essence of giving birth to anything creative.” “Grief isn't just about bereaving the loss of a living thing that has died, it's about grieving any devastating loss. “Once grief enters your life, it doesn't leave.” “Allowing your child to feel safe enough with you to be able to cry, to be angry, and to be just validated.” “Motherhood is part of your identity but not the totality of who you are.” - Jeannie Ewing Click here for show notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, your parenting mentor.

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  I am joined with Chris McKenna. Chris is the founder of Protect Young Eyes. Protect Young Eyes is a nonprofit that goes around the country educating schools, churches, and other nonprofits on the dangers of the digital age's impact on children. They are also a movement, aiming to empower parents that “delay is the way” and schools should be phone free zones.  Growing up was already difficult but adding social media on top of it, and it is no surprise our teens are battling insecurity, anxiety, depression, confusion, and addictions. As parents, we have to approach these delicate situations with empathy and curiosity, not criticism. It is not us versus them, it is us helping build and lift them up. Chris and I talk about ways we can do that and its never too late to get started.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with Chris and Protect Your Eyes through Instagram and their website.     FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS:  *We want to train our kids to be thinkers, not followers. On social media, it's a lot of following and keeping up with the trends.  *We can try to censor the world as much as possible for our kids but it won't make a difference if they can't become filters themselves. Once they are out of our protective care, how will they protect themselves? We have to teach them why it is so important and give them the tools to do it.  *Best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. The second best time is this afternoon. If you feel like you're too late, you aren't. There is still hope and you can still take charge of your household and protect your child.  REMEMBER: *There is a difference between reacting and responding. As parents, we need to respond not react. *The teenage years of development have high levels of social sensitivity. These are also critical years for brain development that leads into their adulthood.  *We should be building bridges of trust with our kids and not shy away from the awkward conversations.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  I am joined by special guests Willie and Korie Robertson!  Willie and Korie are known worldwide for their reality tv show Duck Dynasty and their family's business Duck Commander. They have partnered with Tread Lively, GND Media Group, and Fathom Events to announce the release of The Blind, premiering in theaters nationwide beginning September 28th. Based on the life of Phil and Kay Robertson, The Blind is a powerful true story of love, hardship, and redemption. The Blind shows that no one is beyond the grace of God, and no one is so far gone that they cannot turn their life around.  In this episode, Willie, Korie and I discuss their new movie release, The Blind, the true story behind it, the impact Jesus had on the Robertson family, and the impact media has on us. It seems like now more than ever that are messages telling us masculinity is toxic and women should stay out of the home. The way God designed marriage and the family are being attacked, especially in the media. Supporting films like The Blind sends a clear message to Hollywood and the world of what we care about.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can buy tickets for The Blind or check out The Blind's website to view the movie trailer!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: -After the show Duck Dynasty, Willie and Korie saw a need for positive entertainment which is when they sat down to talk about what story they should tell. The story of Kay and Phil was the most important story to tell because if it didn't happen, their family would have fallen apart and there wouldn't have been Duck Commander or Duck Dynasty. Jesus truly changed everything.  -Sometimes in Christianity, there is this idea that we don't have to talk about the hard stuff or our rough pasts. But the truth is sharing our stories helps us become more vulnerable and connected. We can all relate to Phil and Kay's story on some level.  -Building a dynasty of faith starts in the Word. We all know we should be in the Word, but actually living it out is a whole different thing and is so much harder to do.    REMEMBER: -There are so many messages telling women they can do it all, and that's only partially true. You can do it all, but you can't do it all at once--it's impossible. You can be empowered to do that you're called to in the season of life you're in right now!  -The family, home, and marriage are the foundations of society and are being attacked. Standing strong as men and women is crucial.  -We want to blame the world for all the problems we see, but the truth is we're also to blame because we also seccum to the world's pressures. We have to break free of the rat race.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  I am joined with Amanda Florczykowski. Amanda Florczykowski is as unique as her last name. When a complete stranger pulled her daughter from her arms, Amanda penned an online caution read by an estimated 60 million, connecting Amanda with a victim of the very predator in the store that day..   Amanda has authored the #1 Amazon book, Unraveled: Mothering Fiercely in A World Full of Fears, is working on her second manuscript, and speaks on topics pertaining to the importance of family strength, memorable motherhood, child sex trafficking in America, the pornography epidemic, and faith-forward ideas all set to the backdrop of her salacious personal story.  Lastly, Amanda is the creator of Able Moms International; local communities fostering capable, unshakeable, and memorable moms which will host its first collective gathering of 3,000 this coming Spring. She has also built Vigilant Families, a collaborative platform of experts and organizations who educate using age-appropriate material designated for audiences of 'children', 'youth', and 'adults'.. In this episode, Amanda shares the harrowing story of how she encountered the human trafficker in her grocery store, and together we discuss the balancing act of facing fear and pain in our world with the peace and joy which comes from God.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with Amanda through Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and Twitter.  You can also order her amazing book!   FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: -On this side of heaven, we live on the intersection of harsh reality and God's peace.  -There are so many things which could take our child away in the blink of an eye--but God is still good.  -Eve was told she would experience pain in childbirth; she was cursed. But her curse was not just for the pain of birthing, but the pain of losing a child or watching them suffer. This curse, however, came with redemption: Christ.    REMEMBER: -There is a very real threat of human trafficking, it's not something we can pretend doesn't exist in our own communities.  -We each have our own threshhold for pain, whether its physical, emotional or spiritual. God is the one who knows our limits. We can't compare each other's pains to feel one is more or less than the other. We walk our own journeys.  -Sometimes seeing the absolutely darkness and depravity of the Enemy helps us fully realize the goodness and brightness of God.      Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  In today's episode I am joined with JJ Campbell. JJ Campbell is the host of the Along for the Ride Podcast, a weekly interactive show that helps you have more good times with your family while riding in the car together. These fun activities get everybody talking and laughing and before you know it, strengthening family bonds and making special memories.  She's always loved games and gets her best ideas for the show from childhood experiences and playing with her own baby boy, Evan. She says you can make any family experience enjoyable with some creativity and a fun mindset! In this episode, JJ and I dive into what it means to have fun as a parent. We can easily get trapped in the busyness of life, have a mindset of defeat, exhaustion, and maybe we tell ourselves as moms that we aren't the “fun” parent. But JJ reminds us it's all about our mindset and exactly how important it is we spend that quality time with our kids. She gives us some great examples with how to make household chores fun and ways to get your kids using their imagination and building childhood memories.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with JJ on Instagram, and listen to her podcast!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: *We're always going somewhere in the car to do all the things! From school to soccer practice or whatever after-school activities your child enjoys, we spend a lot of time in the car and little time together as a family. So, how can we use that car time as family time? *We have to be intentional about making time for our family and we need to intentionally make it fun so we keep doing it!  *The fun parent enjoys what they're doing and enjoys spending time with their kids.    REMEMBER: *There is immense value in the simple moments.  *Let your kids be bored! They do not need an ipad but they do need to use their imagination.  *Approach things with curiosity. You just need to change your mindset, whether it's chores or other boring mundane things, you can make it fun.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

In today's episode I am joined with Monica Swanson. Monica and her family live in Hawaii, where she has raised and homeschooled her four boys, three now in college and one twelve year old who loves to golf. Monica also has her own podcast, aptly named the Monica Swanson podcast, and recently published her book “Amazing Kids: Bringing Up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family and Do the Dishes Without Being Asked”.                     In today's conversation, Monica and I look at the ways to raise amazing kids and what that means. As a parent, we may ask ourselves “are we doing this thing right?” as guilt and shame boil beneath the surface. Monica comments on the healthy balance we need to have, learning to hear from the Holy Spirit to know when we need to put in more work or to know when we are doing just fine. There's a tendency to lean upon rules and the “do not”s of life, but Monica shares a fun and exciting perspective, leaning on a natural process, one with fewer formulas, and parenting towards instead of against.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with Monica through Facebook, Instagram, and her website.  You can also order her new book! Or her other amazing book about raising boys.    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: *When we want our kids to be "amazing" what are we expecting or hoping for? Amazing means a pleasant surprise and full of wonder. Our kids should be full of pleasant surprises and wonder! They should also be rich in character and love God, that is amazing. We should care less about their future career choices or doing well in sports, and more about being this kind of "amazing". This takes less stress off us and them! *If we want to be proud sending these kids into the world, then we must be intentional and focused in our parenting. Do we need to involve them in every after school club and activity, or spend more dinners at home as a family at the table?  *It is much easier to depend on rules and parenting against the world, all of the "do not" do's. But it is far more rewarding though harder to lean on a natural process, trusting God with our hearts, and parent towards what we can do. (example: getting outside and doing activities instead of just saying no to screentime)    REMEMBER: *There is a healthy pressure which comes from the Holy Spirit, a healthy conviction. Differing the healthy conviction from an unhealthy insecurity takes discernment, a discernment which comes from knowing what God says. We can only know what God says when we spend time with Him both in prayer and in the Word.  *Our kids will know if our hearts are not in it. They can see the differences between our words and our actions or if they align.  *Be present in this season of parenthood. The time will go by so fast and you will miss the beautiful moments if you're too busy wishing for the next season. The moments you will look back on and miss are not the Instagram moments.  SCRIPTURE:  Galations 6:9 Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Our next piece in the Poetry That Inspires series is titled "Leisure" by William Henry Davies. This poem is a beautiful reminder of the importance of appreciating the small things in life. It inspires us to stop and reflect on the present moment to enjoy it fully – a feat hard to accomplish in our hyperconnected, hypercompetitive modern world. Or in the poet's own words – “A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.” Remember – There is no glory in burnout. And Redbull does not give you wings ;) Hope you all have a great week ahead. Regards, TeamSJS Leisure What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

I found a kindred spirit to talk to about the importance of the early years for our children's brain development. Listen in as Jessica shares how we can nurture our children's immense potential. What We Talked About: Knowing what children need as their brains develop Making Montessori concepts available to everyone Whether or not screen time has any benefits for young children How grandparents and other family members can interact  The importance of serve and return communication when it comes to language development Things to Remember: “There's no better tool for mindfulness than parenting.” “The child is guiding us, showing us what they're hungry to learn.” “Be confident that you're making the right choices with your parenting.” “Play and learning can be such a place of joy.” “Invest in those early years, it will pay off.” - Jessica Rolph “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” - Fred Rogers “We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.” - Dr. Maria Montessori “The word education must not be understood in the sense of teaching but of assisting the psychological development of the child.” - Dr. Maria Montessori Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor

Give yourself a deadline to work with. Ex: “I am going to run The Woodlands Marathon.” Reverse engineer your schedule/training plan to meet the goal by the deadline. Write it down in a format that keeps you accountable. Eliminate distractions that don't align with your goal. If possible, add motivators that do. Ex: find training partners.  Make a financial commitment. Put some skin in the game. Ex: Sign up for the event, pay a coach, buy equipment, etc.  Remember: “There are two vices much blacker and more serious than the rest: lack of persistence and lack of self-control … persist and resist.” – Epictetus Until Monday…Out of role!

Spencer Forman from WPLaunchify has a creative way to find new WordPress customers that may just surprise you! Find an existing community of non technical people that have websites (like bookkeepers or copywriters) Then look at any of these three things... 1. Above the Fold: Do they have the three things any site needs when visitors first arrive? (hint: What's the Pain? | How do they Solve the Pain? | What's the Call To Action to get the Solution?) 2. Ways To Contact: Do they have the BIG 3 ways listed clearly in a way that is easy to find? (hint: Phone | Email | Social ). It's amazing how many companies don't list a phone number, when a virtual number is almost no cost today with Google Voice and similar. 3. Add To List: Do they have a way for visitors to the site to add their email to a list (hopefully one that is for marketing automation and not just collecting dust). It costs virtually nothing in time or money for them to implement this feature, just like a fishbowl in the old days for folks to drop their business card to win a prize. It's the only way for them to avoid losing potential leads. Once you've looked at any or all three of these, email them with FREE advice on how to fix their problems, and preferably setup a 15 minute call to speak with them on Zoom and learn more about what they do, how they do it, and whether they have someone who currently helps them with their WordPress website. Remember: There was a world of people doing business BEFORE social media and paid online advertisement. It still exists... it's called "The Golden Rule" ;-)

“Sex is bad, sex is dirty, and you should only have it with someone you are married to” is the conversation that addresses the “sex talk” with your kids out of fear and shame! It breeds shame in our kids and they learn to feel guilt and shame.  If they are taught to feel guilt and shame, they'll eventually get into relationships or marriages filled with shame, guilt, and secrecy around sex because that's what they have been taught. During this podcast Larry @thedadedge and I, are in no way saying that you should "throw caution to the wind", but we are saying that you should openly talk to your kids from a place of respect, curiosity, clarity, understanding, beauty, and wonder. We encourage you to talk to your kids about protecting their sexual boundaries, good decision-making, and consent. Remember: There's no perfect way for a parent to have this conversation but if you can allow integrity and authenticity to lead the conversation it will make the “sex talk” more comfortable. Imagine how marriages would change if we empowered the next generation to understand and accept their bodies, pleasure, and how to use discernment. The best and most vital part of this approach allows your child to know that they can come to you, their own parents when they need you most.   Watch the full episode by joining The Respected Man Member-Only Community: $15/monthly (click link below) https://view.flodesk.com/emails/623b8644bdefc4d7f4a1674e   Connect with Larry: Website: https://www.thedadedge.com IG @thedadedge   Follow The Respected Man:   TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe3wx4Ao/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/the.respected.man The Community: https://view.flodesk.com/emails/623b8644bdefc4d7f4a1674e   Listen To Podcast Episodes: Apple: https://apple.co/381lWr7 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3DjDbzF

Eve, the first mother of all, was by no means perfect. Proving that if God can redeem her sin and still use it for good, then He can do the same with us. Even when you make bad choices, God still has a plan and purpose for your life! There are currently around 3.9 billion females living on planet Earth—With that in mind, it's hard to imagine if that number was a just ONE! What would it be like to be the first woman and mother to ever live on this Earth? Well, she definitely wasn't perfect but she was given a great promise….let's find out all about her today…   Show Notes: 2 Things to Learn from Eve: First: Remember, even though Eve was far from perfect, God still used her… If He can take Eve's mistakes and redeem them with a promise, then He can FOR SURE take my mistakes and your mistakes…and use what Satan means for evil and turn them for good to ultimately bring Him all the glory!  1 Corinthians 2:9 promises that “no eye has see, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.”  No, we never knew life in a perfect garden like Eve, but we do have the promise of a perfect heaven to hold to!  Remember: There is more to life than this world has to offer and even when you make a bad choice and sin, God still has a plan and purpose for your life and for my life!  Second: This is a promise that you don't need to keep to yourself! Adam and Eve is such a relatable story to share with your kids about choices and consequences that come from sin. It's always my go story when I have to discipline my boys—I tell them how we always have a choice. And sometimes if we choose a bad choice (sin) then there are consequences, just like there were for Adam and Eve. But even when we mess up, God still loves them and so do I—and God always has a plan and purpose for our lives! This is HUGE for your kids to realize, So find a way to share this promise with them this week… Please be sure to go follow @Faithful31Moms on Instagram for updates on new episodes of other moms from the Bible podcasts coming up… And if this podcast has encouraged you, I want to ask you a favor: please subscribe or leave me a review and then share this episode with a friend!
