Repetition is known to be an effective teaching tool, and Pastor Al Dagel points out how God used that method to encourage the leaders and people of Israel in days of old.
We're just days away from a brand new year, and there's one leadership skill that will define your momentum in 2026: turning vision into structure. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to go beyond inspiring language and build a vision your team and your recruits can actually believe in. If you've ever felt like your vision gets lost or fades after January, this will show you how to make it stick; with structure, ownership, and real action steps. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Welcome & Setup – It's almost New Year's Eve, which means you're probably reflecting on what you built and casting vision for what's next [01:00] Why Most Vision Fades – Leaders share big ideas in December, but they don't connect it to structure, behavior, or execution [02:00] Step 1: Define the Destination – What would be true by the end of 2026 if your vision came to life? Culture, structure, experience, leadership [02:45] Step 2: Break It Into Pillars – Group your goals into clear themes: leadership development, recruiting, systems, team structure, brand, etc. [03:00] Step 3: Start Small and Assign Ownership – What's one thing you can move forward in January? Assign a name and a timeline [03:45] Step 4: Communicate Often – The biggest mistake is thinking people will remember your vision after hearing it once. Repetition builds belief [04:30] Step 5: Connect Systems to Your Story – Don't just post wins or numbers. Let your systems and your social content reflect where you're going [05:00] Final Challenge – Do this before midnight on New Year's Eve: Write down your 2026 vision Name 3 pillars that support it Identify 1 action step for the first week of January [05:30] The Real Goal – Your vision doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to be anchored in what matters to you and repeated with consistency [06:00] Wrap-Up – When your team knows where you're going and how you're getting there, recruiting becomes magnetic. Happy New Year Key Takeaways Vision Without Structure Fades – Most leaders talk about the future but don't build a roadmap to get there Start With the End in Mind – Get crystal clear on what success actually looks like 12 months from now Use Pillars to Organize the Chaos – Categorizing your goals helps you make progress in focused areas Assign Ownership and Set Timelines – Even the smallest next step brings your vision to life Repetition Builds Belief – Say your vision often enough that your team starts to echo it back to you This isn't about perfection. It's about clarity, consistency, and commitment. When your vision becomes a roadmap, people don't just hear it. They believe it. And when they believe it, they follow you into 2026 with trust.
Play is where development lives, even when it looks simple, repetitive, or messy. In this conversation, Annamarie von Firley joins me to unpack why play is essential to early brain development and why children need hands-on experiences far more than screens, flashcards, or noisy battery powered toys. We talk about how babies learn to operate their bodies, how repetition builds neural connections, and why dumping, filling, banging, sorting, and mouthing objects are critical stages of growth. Annamarie explains how the brain develops most rapidly from birth to age three, why fine motor and sensory experiences support later skills like writing and speech, and how intrinsic motivation is built when children are allowed to explore without constant adult direction. We also discuss toy safety, developmental appropriateness, and how parents can use everyday items at home to support learning without spending more money. This episode is a grounding reminder that play is not indulgent, chaotic, or optional. It is the work of childhood. Key Takeaways Play is how children build their brains, not something they do after learning is finished. Movement, repetition, and exploration are the engines of development. Most brain development happens before age three, making early play experiences critical for later learning, regulation, and coordination. Children learn by using their bodies, not by watching others perform tasks for them. Passive screen time does not build the same neural connections. Fine motor play supports later skills like writing, feeding, and speech. Touching, grasping, pinching, and manipulating objects matters. Repetition is not boredom. It is mastery. Children repeat actions because their brains are wiring new connections. Intrinsic motivation grows when children are allowed to explore freely without constant instruction, correction, or performance pressure. Everyday household items can be powerful developmental tools. Pots, lids, spoons, containers, and boxes often support richer learning than complex toys. Noisy, battery operated toys are often overstimulating and unnecessary, especially for children under three. Play engages multiple senses at once, which strengthens memory, learning, and emotional regulation. When play is treated as essential rather than optional, children gain confidence, curiosity, and a stronger foundation for lifelong learning. About Annamarie Von Firley (LIBSYN) Annamarie von Firley is the founder of Adventure Town Toy Emporium and Fledglings Flight, both rooted in the belief that play is essential to healthy child development. With a BA in Wooden Toy Design and Construction and a BFA in Furniture Design, she brings a unique combination of design expertise and deep knowledge of how children learn through movement, repetition, and sensory exploration. After more than 20 years owning and operating her fashion house, reVamp, Annamarie returned to her roots in toy design and child development. In 2016, she founded Adventure Town Toy Emporium to curate and create toys that support curiosity, creativity, and developmental growth. During the pandemic, recognizing the developmental risks facing babies and toddlers born during lockdowns, she launched Fledglings Flight. The platform combines a play based app, customized subscription boxes, and expert informed guidance developed alongside pediatric occupational therapists, speech therapists, and child neurologists to help parents support early development through simple, hands on play.

In this episode of Leadership Launchpad, guest Lauren Waldman, a learning professional with a background in neuroscience, joins the show during the Dev Learn conference in Las Vegas. Lauren shares insights on how understanding the brain's mechanisms is essential for effective learning, behavior change, and habit formation in the workplace. The discussion highlights the differences between behaviors and habits, emphasizing that true, lasting change comes from creating strong memories through focus, repetition, and time. Listeners, especially managers and leaders, will learn why developing habits—not just one-off behaviors—is crucial for organizational success. Lauren also offers practical advice for designing learning experiences that align with how the brain naturally functions.
Today's guest is Kevin Secours. Kevin is a veteran martial arts coach, author, and former security professional with decades of experience across Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and Russian Systema. Holding five black belts (including an 8th-dan), Kevin has worked extensively in real-world contexts while also teaching meditation, solo training, and strength rituals. He is the author of Rituals of Strength and Unconstrained, and is known for blending martial tradition, modern training theory, psychology, and philosophical inquiry into human development and resilience The conditioning and tempering of the body in striking sports can draw interesting parallels to collisions needed in jumping, sprinting and landing activities. We can also draw many lessons and ideas from the exercise tradition that goes back centuries with martial arts practice. By understanding combat training disciplines, we can draw out universal application for general movement and performance. In this episode, we explore the deeper purpose of physical training through martial arts and sport performance. Kevin reflects on early experiences with body hardening, cold exposure, and Zen-influenced practice, examining where such methods build resilience and where they become self-destructive. Drawing parallels to sprinting, jumping, and strength training, we discuss collisions, long isometric holds, ritualized discomfort, and fatigue as tools for cultivating awareness, reducing excess tension, and supporting longevity.

Training should serve health and preparedness, not destroy the body you are trying to protect. Exposure must be progressive and intentional, not reckless. Body tension, trauma, and reading the athlete Chronic tension often reflects psychological history, not just physical limitations. Coaches should first understand an athlete's motive for training. Creating a safe and inclusive environment allows tension to unwind. Exhaustion can reveal new movement options and reduce overthinking. Isometrics, Soviet methods, and slow strength Long isometric holds build physical strength and mental resilience. Slow strength exposes weak links that fast movement can hide. Discomfort creates space for reflection and adaptability. Training methods were shaped by harsher living conditions and necessity. Journaling, drawing, and learning through reflection Writing and sketching reinforce learning more deeply than words alone. Stick figures and simple drawings improve memory and understanding. Documentation is a form of legacy and long term learning. Mindset, adaptability, and mental speed Adaptability in movement reflects adaptability in thinking. Exposure to opposing viewpoints builds cognitive flexibility. Speed is as much mental as it is physical. Ego and rigid beliefs limit learning and performance. Representativeness, ritual, and resilience Not all training must look like competition to have value. Ritual builds consistency and meaning in training. Resilience is a universal quality that transfers across contexts. Training should include experiences where the athlete loses and adapts. Simplify versus deconstruct in training Simplify first to preserve the integrity of the whole movement. Deconstruct only when specific limitations appear. Always return to full movement patterns after isolation. End sessions with success to reinforce confidence. Microdosing discomfort and daily resilience Small daily challenges build long term mental toughness. Discomfort activates the neural centers tied to willpower. Ritualized discomfort is more effective than occasional extremes. Resilience can be trained deliberately and safely. Comfort seeking and modern training challenges Humans naturally seek comfort when it is available. Modern environments require intentional exposure to challenge. Training should balance safety, stress, and adaptability. Long term growth comes from controlled adversity, not avoidance. Quotes from Kevin Secours “Motive matters more than method. The why has to be bigger than the how.” “Repetition does not make perfect. You can be perfectly bad at something.” “Every technique is like a snowflake. No two are the same.” “Resilience is the most universal commodity you have.” “The greatest relaxation comes from exhaustion.” “Training should not be trauma.” “If you quit midway, you are more likely to come back.” “We are comfort seekers.” About Kevin Secours Kevin Secours is a martial arts coach and author focused on practical skill development, resilience, and real-world application of movement and combat principles. Drawing from decades of training and coaching experience, his work bridges traditional martial arts, modern performance thinking, and personal development. Kevin is known for clear teaching, depth of insight, and an emphasis on adaptability, awareness, and lifelong practice.
The details of the Tabernacle are repeated over and over in chapter 35-40. Why? We have a tradition that the Torah is highly economical with its language, but these chapters seem to contradict that assumption. Why the detailed recapitualations?

Most business owners don't lack skill — they lack confidence. And the truth nobody talks about? Even the most successful entrepreneurs are still figuring it out as they go. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor Howard breaks down what real confidence looks like in business — and why waiting to "feel ready" is the fastest way to stay stuck. This isn't about fake-it-till-you-make-it confidence. This is about earned confidence — the kind that's built through action, decisions, and leadership under pressure.

Year-end doesn't “arrive” in nonprofits so much as it ambushes us. And that's exactly why this conversation with John Tiso, VP of Revenue and Service Delivery at JMT Consulting, and Buu Lình Tran, SVP of Financial Solutions at JMT Consulting, feels like a shot of espresso for your finance, accounting, and operations leadership.Host Julia C. Patrick frames the real business challenge: you're not only closing the books you're leading humans through a high-pressure stretch where accuracy, speed, and collaboration all collide. Buu Lìnn makes the case that strong leadership is less about pushing harder and more about supporting smarter: assess what your staff truly needs, invest in process improvement, and use technology intentionally to make work easier and outcomes stronger.John brings the mindset shift that separates “we survived year end” from “we built capacity for next year.” Organizations that resist change until it's unavoidable end up reacting at the worst possible moment. His blunt truth is the most liberating: “Get ahead of it and you'll be soaring high.” That applies to financial operations, system adoption, and the way leaders set expectations for learning.A standout takeaway: training can't be a one-and-done event. Repetition matters and Buu Lình offers a practical solution: short, reusable “refresh” videos that staff will actually watch, plus an easy onboarding asset when roles change midstream.Then the conversation turns to the big nonprofit efficiency leak: fundraising and finance teams operating with separate data, separate definitions, and a quiet trust gap. The fix is proactive alignment deciding now what data you'll need later, naming data owners, and building a unified approach so teams stop competing and start collaborating.Finally, they zoom out to strategic tech leadership: someone must serve as the connector across departments, guiding decisions so systems and data work together instead of multiplying confusion. Bottom line: year-end leadership is not paperwork it's performance architecture!!#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitLeadership #NonprofitFinanceFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

WORT 89.9FM Madison · The Tragic Repetition of School Shootings This week marks the 1-year anniversary of the shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. Meanwhile the search for the Brown University shooter is ongoing. To talk about these events and the ongoing crisis of school shootings across the US, host Ali Muldrow is joined by Dr. David Riedman who tracks these shootings and the online communities that foster gun violence. Dr. Riedman takes an evidence-driven approach to the study of school shootings. He's tracked 3,400 shootings back to the 1960s, including 226 of which were deliberately planned. He says there are some common denominators when it comes to shootings: the vast majority are committed by a current or recently former student who has likely experienced abuse in their home, has easy access to a gun, and has shown signs of distress, like leaving weapons out, leaving out maps of their schools, and making shrines to previous school shooters. These realities may run counter to the desire to view school shooters as deranged, lone-wolf outsiders. Instead, Dr. Riedman calls the majority of school shootings “violent public suicides.” They also talk about the stereotype that public and urban schools are more dangerous than private, rural, or suburban schools, even though the majority of school shootings occur in small suburban communities and rural schools. Dr. Riedman advises that parents be educated about past school shootings in order to spot signs that kids are becoming radicalized by online communities like the True Crime Community (TCC) and Groyper movement, led by white nationalist influencer, Nick Fuentes. Meanwhile young people in Wisconsin have been calling for better mental health resources and better gun storage laws. Dr. David Riedman is the founder of the K-12 School Shooting Database and hosts the podcast Back to School Shootings.

From hidden holiday chocolate stashes to a bombshell media deception, this episode takes a sharp turn from festive fun to serious accountability. We start with a lighthearted look at America's secret love affair with “emergency chocolate,” then pivot to a deep dive into a major media controversy—why Donald Trump is suing the BBC for a staggering $10 billion over a deceptively edited January 6th video.

Because that's where the magic happens: at the intersection of the story, the listener, and the teller's voice with its cadence, tone, inflection, repetition, pacing, and energy.So much gets lost in translation to the printed page.

Ryan "Birdman" Parrott grew up without direction, failed classes, and struggled to connect. One sentence from a Marine teacher flipped a switch and pushed him toward the Navy SEALs. That decision dropped him into one of the toughest training pipelines on the planet and later into Iraq, where a roadside bomb almost killed him. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the mindset that carried him from a chaotic childhood to SEAL Team deployments, a near-fatal blast, and the long climb to rebuild purpose after war. His story shows what grit, discipline, and resilience look like when the pressure is real. If you want a clear picture of mental toughness from someone who earned it, this conversation will push you to get moving. Three Key Learnings 1. How daily discipline builds real toughness. 2.

Welcome back to the Iron Sight Podcast. Today I'm in the studio with Cece and Ryan, and we're digging into one of the most persistent myths in the fitness world: the repetition continuum. You've heard it before — heavy weights for strength, moderate reps for hypertrophy, and light loads for endurance. It's simple, it's clean… and it's not really true.In this episode, we break down where that model came from, why it stuck around for so long, and what the current research actually says. We talk about some of the voices online influencing this conversation, and a well-known researcher who pretty much takes a sledgehammer to the old rep-range chart. We're going to cover what really drives strength, growth, and endurance — and how to use that information to train smarter, adapt better, and get more out of the work you're already doing.Enjoy the show!-25% OFF!

Welcome to the show! In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the feedback you've given me over the past year. From the things you love—like honest opinions and those behind-the-scenes bloopers—to areas where you think I could improve, I'm breaking it all down. I'll share how I process both praise and criticism, respond to some thought-provoking and even challenging listener comments, and talk openly about staying authentic on the microphone, no matter what.

I agree—your energy transfers to listeners.Being award-winning isn't about ego—my goal is always helping people.Repetition helps beginners, but seasoned podcasters would like more advanced content.Technical details: I use a Rode Podmic USB microphone into a Rodecaster Duo, recording in Hindenburg.Notes on ideas and feedback: people want more “behind-the-scenes” and technical information.Reading vs. riffing: I admit sometimes I slip into “reading mode” and work to stay spontaneous.Length controversy: some want shorter shows, some longer, but the majority like the current format.Hobbyists vs. business podcasters: I explain why my content has sometimes shifted toward podcasters wanting to grow.Ads feedback: some want fewer ads, especially repeating the School of Podcasting ad too often.Religion and “blue” humor: I discuss my Christian identity, my sense of humor, and respect differing tastes—even when jokes cross lines.You can't please everyone—sometimes what “crosses the line” for one person is just casual for another.Suggestions for more advanced content and deeper listener Q&A segments.Advanced podcasting wisdom: find out what your audience wants, deliver with value, and keep improving.On making money: it's possible, but requires loving the journey and standing out from the crowd.I'm always open to detailed questions—consider sending in your own for future deep dives!Websites MentionedSchool of PodcastingPodcasting Observations (my email list)PodpageAppSumoVoicemail: schoolofpodcasting.com/voicemailBiz Chicks Podcast

Chief Reminding Officer: The Power of Repetition in Your Family If you've ever felt like a broken record as a parent — constantly reminding your kids (or yourself) of the same things over and over — this episode will make you feel a whole lot better. This week, Chris and Melissa talk about something they've been feeling in both their home and business lately: that quiet drift that happens when you stop doing the simple things that actually work. The routines that keep your house running. The systems that make your marriage stronger. The habits that help your family thrive. And the truth they came back to? Most families don't need a brand-new plan… they just need to remember the one they already have. Chris shares a conversation that pushed him to revisit Excellence Wins by Horst Schulze, the cofounder of the Ritz-Carlton. One line jumped off the page: "Great leaders are really just Chief Reminding Officers." At the Ritz, they review the same guiding principles every 21 days — not because people don't know them, but because repetition is what keeps a culture alive. As Chris and Melissa talk through examples from their own home, you'll hear how easy it is to slip into "sloppy" seasons — dishes piling up, routines disappearing, date nights pushed aside. Not because something is wrong… but because we forget what works. Melissa shares why repetition used to feel boring to her — and how she learned to see it as one of the most loving, grounding things you can do for your family. When you remind your kids who they are, remind your spouse what your marriage is about, or remind yourself what your family values… you're strengthening your culture every single time. This episode will make you feel encouraged, not overwhelmed. You'll walk away remembering that you don't need to reinvent your life — you probably already have the tools, rhythms, and values that work. You just need to return to them, repeat them, and keep reminding the people you love most. LINKS: All Links Family Brand! stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.

Tim and Steve break down how steady practice — in martial arts or anything else — can shape who we become at any age. They share how training together strengthened their friendship and why the core principles matter far beyond the dojo. Key ideas they highlight: Repetition builds discipline. Small actions done daily create real change. Grow in little steps. Progress comes from consistency, not big leaps. Choose purpose over comfort. The hard things are usually the things that help us grow. Find good people. The right mentors and community can push you to be better. They also talk about why staying committed is tough in a world full of distractions — and why sticking with something meaningful pays off. An honest look at how steady effort, good guidance, and a strong community can help anyone grow.

Triggers are neither good nor bad, it is how we consciously choose to respond to them that matters. In order to consciously choose, recognizing triggers is key to understanding their perceived effects and directing them.Keeping a notebook and pen within reach empowered me to make note of triggers before they slipped away or subconsciously drove my actions. If I was busy when my past intruded on my present, I would simply make note of the trigger to stop the intrusion.Later, when I was in a comfortable quiet space, I would take out my notebook, look at the trigger, and write out the memory- opening neuron pathways in my brain in the process. Opening neuron pathways allows for conscious self control. Whether we are triggered by a traumatic past, or simply triggered to buy Big Pharma's latest product as inspired by subliminal advertising, making note by hand is key to making wise choices. My new book reSOULutions illustrates how to take control of triggers and ultimately reclaim self control and inner peace.Mark taught me at the very onset of my healing process to make collages as a way to trigger memory. He set a pile of magazines and newspapers in front of me in 1988, and told me to clip out anything that caught my attention and gave me pause. I kept these clippings in a box as suggested. Mark told me that how I assembled all those images would be like assembling pieces of my mind, and advised me to choose carefully. Of course I kept my notebook within reach, making note of images that flashed across my mind's screen as a result of clipping key triggers. Later I would write out the memory in photographic detail as per birthright methods in PTSD: Time to Heal.Triggering my own repressed memory with collages was a giant step toward healing from decades of traumatic MK Ultra mind control. I found that through assembling the images, I could take control over my triggers and begin consciously directing my own actions.Since my collages are included in reSOULutions, I strongly recommend readers keep a pen and paper within reach to make note of any inspiration or in the event my old triggers trigger yours.My ability to cope with the reality of my experience took time, and I vented through poetry often written in the subconscious language by which I had been manipulated. Double and triple meaning words, making demands of my commanders, and taunting my abusers empowered me to cope. When Mark passed away in 2017, I vented through poetry to cope with the grief of losing my hero, best friend, and soul mate. The vast array of poetry I vented in order to cope may serve as inspiration for you to vent likeWise. These poems are as personal as my collages, yet are freely shared in reSOULutions as a healing tool for others. Taking pen to paper inspires self control and inner peace, in addition to diffusing triggers.Make a grocery list on paper, and consciously question each item to make sure it is something you need rather than something you are triggered to buy from advertising. You will find it easier to stay focused in the grocery store, buying what you need, and remembering those needs with ease whether you look at your list or not. Having written the list by hand will help you mentally retain your list and stick to it without being triggered by products on the shelf.Other ways people trigger themselves may be through aroma therapy, sound or light therapy, church bells and chimes, mood music, and infinite other ways depending on life's circumstances and conditioning.Repetition is the most basic form of mind control, whereby triggers are being deliberately set through controlled media and school indoctrination.
