In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life. In this episode, I discuss: How leaning on my village at home made it possible for me to travel as a working mother What visiting my father and grandfather's gravesite stirred emotionally and spiritually Why supporting Jamaican-owned businesses felt especially important during recovery How giving back without performing it publicly shifted my perspective on service + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

Nommo Books — The First Visit I remember the first time I stepped into Nommo Books. The air was warm, thick with the smell of paper and cardamom tea. Rain had followed me all the way from the corner, and when I closed the door behind me, the city seemed to exhale and go quiet. Inside, the light was soft and amber. A record player somewhere in the back was spinning a Coltrane ballad that wrapped itself around the room–I could tell it was a record because of the distinct crackling sound! I love hearing the sax and the crackling. I stood for a moment just to listen. Otherwise, the store was silent. But it wasn't a silence that told you to whisper or walk softly — it was a silence that said, safe. The shelves were tall and full, but nothing about them felt still. The names on the spines — Morrison, Baldwin, Sanchez, Butler — seemed to hum together, low and steady, like a choir warming up. I ran my hand along the wooden shelves, and my anticipation jumped with the thought of having access to so much brilliance at my fingertips. Then something familiar but not experienced for a long time grabbed my attention. Off to my left, there was a small circle of elders gathered around a wide wooden table near the front window. Newspapers were spread out beside mugs of coffee, and the conversation moved easily between laughter and low debate — about politics, about the neighborhood, about what the grandkids were up to. It felt like home, like the kind of talk that keeps a community connected thru generations.. Farther back, through a half-open doorway, I glimpsed the Story Room. Bright pillows scattered across the floor, children sitting cross-legged while someone read aloud from a picture book. Their voices rose and fell with the rhythm of the tale, and their laughter spilled into the hallway like sunlight. Near the center of the shop stood the Book-of-the-Month table. A notebook lay open beside a stack of novels wrapped with twine, filled with handwritten notes from readers — "This line broke me open." "Read this one slow." "Reminded me of my mama." And by the door, a cork bulletin board overflowed with flyers: a poetry reading, a rent-strike meeting, a drumming class, a healing circle. Nommo Books wasn't just a store; it was the town's bulletin of living, breathing connection. That's when I saw her. Ms. Geneva Carter, behind the counter, wearing a deep purple scarf and glasses that caught the lamplight. She didn't rush to greet me. She looked up, smiled like she already knew me, and her eyes said, "You're welcome.. Take your time. The story you need will call your name when it's ready." I nodded, understanding that I didn't need to speak my thoughts outloud. There was a kettle steaming somewhere, and the sound of pages turning, and the faint click of someone typing notes on a keyboard.. I found a seat near the window, beside a stack of used paperbacks bound with twine. Outside, the rain kept time against the glass. For a while, I just sat there. I read a little, then looked up, then read again. A woman laughed softly in the next aisle. Someone hummed a hymn I half-remembered from childhood. And for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was part of the sound — not intruding, not surviving, just belonging. Before I left, Ms. Carter slipped a small bookmark into my hand. On it, she'd written, You are never alone in a Black bookstore. I keep it with me still — a reminder that our stories are waiting, and that home can be found in the turning of a page. You're never alone in a Black bookstore.
In this our second episode discussing work from poet Eli Karren, we're shifting timelines, story lines, wine time, and coffee time. We welcome special guest, Tobi Kassim, as part of the podcast team for the day. (We'll be “sprinkling” special guests throughout the upcoming season!) We dig into Eli's richly detailed poem “Franchise Reboot” which nods to David Lynch's nineties TV phenom, Twin Peaks, along with the Museum of Popular Culture, Ikea furniture, Matthea Harvey's poem “The Future of Terror,” and Wandavision, among other touchstones. The team questions some of the advice we've received on what should or should not be included in poems: dreams, color lists, center justification, cicadas. It's an airing of pet peeves, Slushies. And then we decide to get over ourselves. Tune in with a slice of cherry pie. As always, thanks for listening. At the table: Tobi Kassim, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (Sound Engineer) @eli.james.karren on Instagram Eli Karren is a poet and educator based in Austin, TX. His work can be found in the swamp pink, At Length, Palette Poetry, and the Harvard Review. Franchise Reboot We sat at the diner in Snoqualmie quoting lines back and forth to each other. Saying what we could remember, without fidelity, without choosing a character or a scene. We got the coffee, the cherry pie, took pictures with a piece of wood that the waitress passed across the bar, cradling it like a newborn. Earlier, we had gone to the waterfall, and I confessed that I had been falling in love with a coworker. Or rather, that it felt that way. Melodramatic. Full of will they won't they tension. You said, expertly, that that was probably the only exciting thing about it. That not everything in life has to be a soap opera. Later that night, when you went off to chaperone a high school dance I saw a movie about a woman who fucks a car. Outside the theater, some guys smoked cigarettes and wondered aloud if originality was dead. I told them that the only glimmer of the original is the terroir, the local language, the dialect and vernacular. All the shit you suppress when you move away from your childhood home. The things you pay a therapist to excise from you in a room comprised only of Ikea furniture. On the long Uber back to your house I thought about the future of nostalgia, the car careening through downtown Seattle, past the Shawn Kemp Cannabis shop, and the Museum of Pop Culture, which held a laser light show on its lawn. The whole drive I had the words tangled in my brain and was trying to recite Matthea Harvey's “The Future of Terror.” I remembered only the generalissimo's glands and the scampering, the faint sounds of its recitation humming below the car's looping advertisements for Wandavision. In my head the possibility of infinite worlds thrummed. Once, at a farmers market, I watched an elderly man wander through the stands, past the kids playing with pinwheels and eating ice cream, a VR headset strapped to his face, his hat in his hand, the muffled sound of tears in his vicinity. I always wondered what he had seen. What reduced him to tears on a May afternoon, his hands splayed forward, a little drunk with sun and regret, reaching out towards something. III. This, I tend to gussy up at parties. A lie I tell myself because I want to believe in true love. As I say in the diner the owls are not what they seem. But at what point does the false supercede the real? When you came home, I was crying on the couch, rewatching its rejection of closure. Its protagonist catatonic for sixteen hours, a walking talking middle finger. Just so we can have this moment where he says the line and has the suit and we hear the famous song and are embraced again. Seeing you, seeing old friends this is how I always feel. Reminded of this pond deep in the woods. Somewhere I went to only once but keep returning to in dreams. I remember how we hiked an hour out and slipped below the water as the sun began to set. In the dream, sometimes there is an island. Sometimes we swim to its surface. Sometimes the moon arises, its gravity pulling us deeper out above the blackness where the shale slips to the bottom. I'm never sure if it is when I sink into the water or exit that I become someone else. Wake always with a lyric on my lips. This is the me I've missed. The one that survives the factory reset, the franchise reboot. The one I dreamt of every morning when closure was something to be evaded, treated like the cars in a Frogger game. But not here, with you, halfway across the country. If I grasp gently, I can take the headset from my eyes. I can almost see where the red curtains part and the sycamores begin.
Selling isn't something you have to do… It's something you get to do! When I first picked up The Romance of Selling, it completely reignited my passion for what we do as entrepreneurs. This book reminded me that selling isn't about pressure, manipulation, or tactics. It's about excitement, belief, and love for the thing you're sharing with the world. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share what I learned from the book and how it connects to my own journey. From knocking doors as a missionary to failing in my first infomercial, I talk about the moment I realized that selling is really about energy and certainty. When you're genuinely excited about what you have, that enthusiasm transfers to other people. And that's when sales become effortless. Key Highlights: ◼️Why enthusiasm will always outperform the perfect script ◼️The difference between entrepreneurs, technicians, and true salespeople ◼️How a failed infomercial taught me the real meaning of belief in your offer ◼️The power of energy and certainty to move people to action ◼️Why selling is the greatest expression of service and leadership Here's the truth: selling isn't just how you make money, it's how you change lives. When you sell, you're inviting someone into a new story. You're giving them hope, possibility, and transformation. That's why I love this game so much. It's not about closing deals. It's about opening doors. ◼️If you want to go deeper and see my personal notes on The Romance of Selling, you can grab them here: https://russellbrunson.com/notes ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Always take time to remember those people that have gone before you.
What happens when the person who once caused you pain unexpectedly reaches out with an apology? You might think you're over it—but your body remembers. Your heart remembers. This story isn't about getting closure or forgiving too soon. It's about what happens when you stop bracing and start softening and on how healing often begins—not with effort, but with kindness.

Clare people are being reminded that only accidental storm-related incidents could result in a successful insurance claim. It comes after 5,500 properties in Clare lost power over the weekend as strong winds associated with Storm Amy battered the county. A new survey has found that just 26% of people say they would secure their garden furniture and check their windows and doors ahead of a storm. Figures from Insurance Ireland meanwhile show January's Storm Éorwyn was Ireland's most expensive storm-related insurance event in history with claims exceeding €301 million. Head of Claims at Campion Insurance Stephen McKenna says claims can't be made for avoidable incidents.
I had an interesting experience this week, one that reminded me that sometimes even the obvious needs to be pointed out. For a very brief moment I got a small taste of what it's like to have low vision. Blind Low Vision New Zealand hosted a breakfast - during which I was given glasses to wear which mimicked glaucoma, and then I was guided into a café where I tried to read a menu. This all required a level of concentration and effort I don't often call on. Thankfully, I was able to remove the glasses before I drank my tea and ate my breakfast as, I can tell you, it would have been a very messy affair. I've had my head firmly in the disability camp for the last few years - getting to grips with the challenges neurodivergent people have fitting into a world that isn't designed for them. So, I was embarrassed at how little I have thought about how difficult life is if you're not able-bodied in an able-bodied designed world. Obviously being blind or having low vision is exhausting. Obviously it makes everything you do in your day much more challenging. Obviously it limits your job prospects and what you can do. But it only took about another 10 minutes at home wearing my newly acquired glaucoma glasses for this to really sink in. I did a few basic things around the house. I put the washing on - which went well until I tried to read the buttons on the washing machine. I then stood on the cat. I ate a kiwifruit. I was a bit nervous about the knife - but then couldn't find my mouth. I filled the kettle and made a cuppa, which took longer than usual. I stood on our clingy cat again, and then went outside and tripped over my partner's gumboots. At this point my daughter suggested it would be safer if I ended the experiment. It was very clear how much I take for granted as I rush through life. I treasure my independence. I don't think twice about how I'm going to get from A to B and enjoy the interactions I have with work colleagues and others throughout the day. But those who are blind or have low vision deal with huge inequities every day - which take a functional, financial and emotional toll. 58 percent of disabled New Zealanders earn $30,000 or less a year, compared with 33 percent of the non-disabled people. 51 percent of working age Blind Low Vision NZ members are without a job, and 74 percent of youth clients have never had a part time or summer job. We're all impacted by the rising cost of living, but this community is really struggling. I'd passively assumed that by 2025 we'd have removed more of the barriers that make the simplest of things - like getting groceries - difficult. But from the conversations and stories I heard this week, that's clearly that's not the case. As we go about our day today, maybe we should pause for a second each time we do something and imagine doing it like one of the 183,000 Kiwis who are blind, deaf blind or low vision. This month is Blind Low Vision Month - if you have a moment head to blindlowvision.org.nz and see the work they do. And at the very least, next time you pass an e-scooter lying across the footpath, pick it up and move it to the side. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not of all wine news is about a drop in sales or activity...wine tourism is up. On Wine Talks I regularly discuss the idea that wine is headed back in time to the days where the experience of wine is driving the interest in wine. Winery tastings, wine pairing dinners, day long wine excursions and more are peaking the interest in not only wine enthusiasts but wine novices the same. One destination that is working hard at luring wine travel is Armenia. I have keen interest in understanding the value of and the current climate of wine tourism in my country of heritage. Lilit Gregoryan is on the forefront of the movement and we had a chance to catch up and discuss the current state of Armenian wine travel. I have to tell you, sitting down (virtually, in this case) with Lilit Grigoryan for this episode of Wine Talks was one of those conversations that leaves you thinking long after you hit “stop recording.” Now, I'll let you in on a little behind-the-scenes secret: this was our third crack at getting the tech to play nice for a clear connection between sunny Southern California and Yerevan, Armenia. You could say we worked up a thirst before we even started talking wine. Right from the get-go, Lilit came in with the big picture view—“Winemaking and wine are rooted as a nation in our DNA.” That statement stuck with me. For all the talk we have about terroir, varietals, and fancy cellaring techniques, sometimes you need a reminder that, in places like Armenia, wine's not just a beverage or even an export—it's part of the cultural bedrock. She made the bold and very true point: Armenia isn't just learning from Europe; it's reminding Europe, and the world, where winemaking really started. What really fascinated me was her work in building up the Council of Enotourism. Now, enotourism anywhere is having its moment, and Armenia is no exception. I'll admit, I ended up tumbling down memory lane—remembering road trips that started off about something else (the Monaco Grand Prix, in my case) and somehow veered, as everything in my life seems to, straight into wine country. The magic of enotourism, Lilit pointed out, is that it's about more than tasting rooms. It's about connecting public, private, and even academic stakeholders—guides, wineries, archeologists, whole communities—to put Armenia back on the wine map. There's a humility that runs deep in Armenian winemakers, which, as Lilit mentioned, maybe ought to be set aside for a bit of healthy self-promotion. Why not, when you have 6,100-year-old wine caves that literally rewrite the history of viticulture? This is a nation where, she told me, even the rituals carved into fourth- and sixth-century churches tell the story of wine's place in life and faith. “We are the shoulders that the Old World stands on.” I scribbled that down—it's one for the ages. We got into some wine geek talk (couldn't resist)—about amphora and the ancient methods now making a comeback from Bordeaux to California. Funny thing, the rest of the world calls it trendy; for Armenians, it's just Tuesday. And I had to laugh—she talked about roadside wine in Coke bottles, and yeah, in 2007, I could barely choke down what I found. But the leap in quality is astounding. Armenian winemakers today are winning international gold medals! You can feel the pride simmering up—and frankly, that's as it should be. Lilit's also candid about the challenges—lack of unity among stakeholders, the need for more education, and the always-present tension of getting government support. Reminded me of local feuds in the LA trade; everyone wants the same thing, but getting consensus? It's like herding cats with corkscrews. But what I love most is her conviction: this is a marathon, not a sprint. Armenians have always been resilient—she's sure, and so am I, that Armenia's renaissance is just getting started. And let's not forget, she humbly attributes her passion to being “one cheeky university girl” drinking wine with her friends, which, honestly, is how the best careers begin. Lilit is creating a movement, and you can feel it—one that won't just put Armenian wine on the table but will make it impossible for the world to ignore. So, next time you're reaching for something old-world or new-world, remember Lilit's words: “We are ancient world.” And maybe, just maybe, it's time to pour Armenia into your next glass.

Fr. Peter Armenio joins Patrick to discuss Sanctifying Work What is the importance of work? (8:41) why is there dignity in work? (21:00) Break 1 (22:12) Nick - I think of Social Teaching and the rights and dignity of workers. In the precepts, we're told to support the church financially. In retirement, give your calendar to the Lord and he'll fill it in for you. When we retire, our greatest work is thinking of God more and he fills it in for us. Mary Lou - Thanks for the reminder that my work is sacred. I'm a hairdresser. Reminded me of a project I have coming up and how meaningless and tedious it seems compared to my spiritual life, but this woman likes to talk about the Lord. She's not Catholic, but it might be a way to talk about Jesus to her. (30:37) Email from Mary – Can you cut corners if you have to in order to get your work done? What does it mean to sanctify our work? (40:40) Break 2 (45:05) Charles - I'm a retired crime scene investigator. Witnessed many murders. Throughout my career, I realized maybe nobody was praying for this person before they died. At some point, I started praying as I responded to the crime scene. Wanted to share that if there are other officers listening.

I'm gonna say thank you to the Police Commissioner, Richard Chambers, for maybe reminding us to be grateful for what we have. He gave an interview to the Herald today and he said he thinks there is a fair bit of punching down on New Zealand going on at the moment. And he thinks that's unfair. He says: "With the world going a little crazy, I count us lucky that we are where we are." Now, given how much doom and gloom there is at the moment, it may surprise you to know that the accompanying poll in the Herald article actually agrees with him - as unscientific as it is. Most people rate their experience of living in New Zealand as 8 out of 10. 20 percent of people say they have an 8 out of 10 experience. Then the next one up is 10 out of 10. That's 15 percent. 7 out of 10 comes next, and 13 percent of us say that. So, 7, 8, 9, and 10 out of 10 account for 58 percent of the votes. Way more than half of us think that we are living in a pretty great place. Now, as I say, it's not scientific, but it is a nice reminder that actually most of us do know how good we've got it. It's really easy to fall into the trap of thinking the grass is greener on the other side, which is why so many of us are leaving and heading off to places like Australia. Actually, if the other side is Australia, once they get there, they are going to realize it's not that much greener. They're gonna go through the same stuff with the economy that they were going through back here in New Zealand.Life over there is expensive as well. And if the other side is Europe, it's definitely not greener over there. It's actually tens of thousands of refugees arriving on your doorstep. It's huge unrest over migrants in the UK. It's the threat of war just across the border. And it's cost of living problems there too. Now, I'm not Pollyannaish at all about New Zealand. I know life is expensive, I know there are people who have never had to budget who are now having to budget. I can see that the Government books definitely need tidying up, and we're completely overdue structural economic change. But at least most things are headed in the right direction. Education for our kids has been sorted out, red tape is being cut, the economy is turning around, the days are getting longer, and we live in a safe place with a good work-life balance where our kids can grow up fairly healthy. So thank you to the Police Commissioner, of all people, for reminding us of that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jamie thinks that BJ should've reminded his wife about his BDAY. Jamie thinks that BJ might've even forgot to remind her on purpose so he could hold it over her head. Yesterday South Park came out with the first episode of season 27. A lot of people online are talking about how daring some of the jokes about Trump are. Chapel Roan put out a teaser for a new song.

After thoroughly dissecting every verse of Shir HaMaalot, the season finale attempts to put all the pieces back together. The first three verses were about moving from dreams to true joy; the second three were about Joseph and Jacob's saga. Could both of these themes somehow be related?A Book Like No Other is a product of Aleph Beta, and made possible through the generous support of Shari and Nathan Lindenbaum.

The 94 WIP Morning team realizes that the Sixers really need their guy, Embiid. Maxey is fantastic, but he's not 'the' guy. The Morning team hopes Edgecombe could become 'the' guy one day, and seemingly has the demeanor to do it. Joe DeCamara and the Morning Show feel like Edgecombe presented himself last night very similarly to Brandon Graham. Maxey, McCain and now Edgecombe bring endless joy to the team.

While Jesus saved us from a life void of meaning with one that is holy and full, we tend to drift back to the familiarity of the empty life. Reminded of the high price He paid to rescue us from empty living, it is time to put an end to empty. 1 Peter 1:13-25 Speaker: Bryson Koch
