Podcasts about responding

Business owners often feel compelled to defend every policy and decision. We share a recent incident that brought that into sharp focus. We explore why learning to observe rather than react is a skill worth cultivating. From dealing with difficult client feedback to navigating aggressive Facebook comments, we share some personal stories and hard-earned lessons in restraint. Observation leads to better leadership, stronger boundaries, and a healthier business culture. Remember, not everything deserves a reply—sometimes the best response is no response at all. Main Topics Emotional regulation in business Handling online criticism gracefully Responding to client complaints Leadership through observation Protecting energy and mental health Main Takeaway: “Remind yourself that not everything needs a reply. Some things need maturity and margin and a deep breath.” In pet care—and business in general—it's tempting to fire back immediately when someone questions your work, your policies, or your prices. But not every situation calls for a response. Often, the wiser path is observation: gathering context, cooling down, and responding with clarity rather than emotion. Protect your energy. Reserve it for the pets and people who trust you day in and day out. Leadership starts with emotional discipline. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

The mystery of what lies ahead in our lives is a ubiquitous experience we all share. Until these mysteries are revealed, they are often difficult to prepare for. The same is true when it comes to how the Lord unveils His calling for our lives—we often find ourselves waiting, confused, in the dark until His revelation meets us where we are. It is through our trust in His plans, which go beyond our understanding, and through the faith to hold onto His promises, that the Father's revelation brings light to His commission for our lives, calling us into action for the glory of His Kingdom.   Scripture: Colossians 1: 24-29 Paul's Labor for the Church 24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord's people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

Joe gives advice to Catholics on how to respond to scandal in the Church, in light of recent allegations brought forward against Alex Jurado. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and today I think it’s important to talk about some of the allegations involving Alex Jurado better known online as voice of reason. Now, I hate internet drama and I don’t think it’s spiritually healthy to get involved in gossip of who did and said various things, but there are some important reasons. I think this particular set of allegations are ones that I sh...

Continuing their conversation Secret Compound, Greg and Ed tackle the deeply personal challenges of considering Catholicism when opposition comes from within the home, particularly from a spouse. Responding to a listener's email about navigating a Protestant spouse and a complex marriage situation, they explore the emotional and spiritual dilemmas of pursuing the Catholic faith in a divided household. Greg emphasizes the Catholic Church's teaching that salvation is fullest within the Church, yet not a binary exclusion of non-Catholics, using the analogy of concentric circles. Ed shares his approach of moving slowly and respectfully to avoid conflict with his wife, while Greg advises presenting one's faith journey as a pursuit of becoming the best version of oneself for the sake of the marriage. They also address the high bar of Catholic teachings on marriage, acknowledging the pain of irregular situations and the crosses some bear, like a cantor who faithfully serves but cannot receive the Eucharist. This episode offers hope and practical wisdom for those wrestling with family dynamics while seeking the fullness of Christ's Church. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

Are you confidently playing the markets or are you still tucking it away under the mattress for a rainy day? Traditionally women have been thought of as risk-averse when it comes to putting their money into stocks and shares. Is that about to change? And is there such a thing as the 'gender investment gap'? To discuss women's attitudes towards investing we hear from Dr. Sara Reis, deputy director and head of policy and research at the Women's Budget Group think tank.

Audio Open Lines The post Responding to Listener Email and the Issues, Etc. Comment Line, 7/14/25 (1952) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

It's Monday, July 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus American churches are being attacked A trend of American churches being attacked appears to be emerging, reports International Christian Concern. On April 24, a Texas woman, identified as Natasha Marie O'Dell, pleaded guilty to intentionally setting fire to Seattle Laestadian Lutheran Church in Snohomish County, Washington, on August 25, 2023.  The blaze destroyed much of the church, and damage to the property was placed at $3.2 million. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, O'Dell admitted to telling “various acquaintances that she was angry about churches and specifically with [that one].” An Arizona man, identified as Zimnako Salah, was found guilty of a hate crime on April 3, 2025, after he targeted Christian churches with bomb threats. Salah intentionally attempted to intimidate Christians because of their faith, according to a special finding from a federal jury.  After visiting four churches in Arizona, California, and Colorado, Salah left backpacks at two of them to cause fear among congregants. Although there were no bombs in the packs, improvised explosive device components were found in Salah's storage unit. The man had also consumed violent videos of the Islamic State group on social media. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.” FBI closes the case on Jeffrey Epstein The late Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and child sex offender who assaulted 36 girls, some as young as 14, reported the Miami Herald.  For years, it's been rumored that Epstein did not act alone, but trafficked these girls to his prominent and wealthy male clients. Allegedly, Epstein used such a list to blackmail them. In an unsigned DOJ/FBI memo, which was released Sunday, July 6th, it says, “This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list.' There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.” The memo also said, “After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019. This conclusion is consistent with previous findings, including the August 19, 2019 autopsy. …  From the time Epstein was locked in his cell at around 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019, until around 6:30 am the next morning, nobody entered any of the tiers in the Special Housing Unit.” Homosexual abortionist gets slap on wrist for leaving "half" of baby inside woman An Illinois abortionist -- who left up to “half” of an aborted baby inside a woman and a coin-sized hole in her uterus  -- will be allowed to resume his practice after paying a $5,000 fine and undergoing extra medical education, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Back in March, LifeSiteNews covered the case of Equity Clinic founder and medical director Dr. Keith Reisinger-Kindle, once the subject of fawning media coverage for promoting so-called abortion “access” and people's “safety.” According to a lawsuit by an unidentified ex-client from Indiana, the abortionist had allegedly violated that commitment to patient safety in dramatic fashion. In April 2023, a pregnant mother went to abortionist Reisinger-Kindle for an abortion at approximately 22 weeks. After she called the next day to complain of cramping, she was told to take a painkiller. However, when she went to the Community Hospital South Emergency Room in Indianapolis,  physicians subsequently found fetal remains in her right pelvis, which had to be surgically removed, as well as a uterine hole roughly the size of a quarter or half-dollar. The woman's lawsuit says, “The patient was found to have half of a deceased pre-born human being, in the right pelvis of the patient, with evidence of severe and intentional trauma. The skull was crushed and no brain was present.” Isaiah 59:7 describes abortionist Keith Reisinger-Kindle and his ilk well. “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Leftist argues Dems should become “pro-porn” party to win back men And finally, a left-wing writer who is emphatically pro-abortion and pro-homosexual, recently actually argued that the Democrats should style themselves as the “pro-porn” party to win back ground on the “free speech” platform and entice young men away from the Republicans, reports Elizabeth Johnston, the Activist Mommy. In a bizarre commentary for The Nation, that's on par with a satire piece, writer Elie Mystal states that the Democrats should strategically embrace pornography, saying there's “an opportunity here for the Left to pick up the banner of free speech. An opportunity to become the ‘porn party.'” Responding to the Supreme Court's decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, which upheld Texas's requirement for age-verification on porn sites, Mystal cited the tired old cliché of Republican hypocrisy to make the case for embracing porn as a political strategy. In Proverbs 7:10, 21-26, King Solomon warns his son of the seductive ways of an immoral woman. In many ways, his warnings are equally applicable to the lure of pornography.  It says, “Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. ... With persuasive words she led him astray;  she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once, he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare,  little knowing it will cost him his life. “Now then, my sons, listen to me;  pay attention to what I say. Do not let your heart turn to her ways  or stray into her paths. Many are the victims she has brought down;  her slain are a mighty throng.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, July 14th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Having overturned the tables of the temple, the religious leaders seek to question Jesus' authority in Mark 11:27-33. But little do they know that Jesus' authority isn't up for debate. He has all authority and all power, and he wields it for our good. The only question that matters is: how will we respond to it?

Today we explore the five key attributes coaches look for beyond physical talent when recruiting athletes. These intangible qualities often make the difference between getting noticed and getting passed over.• Body language matters - coaches evaluate how you present yourself before seeing your athletic abilities• Responding positively to failure shows mental toughness and resilience• Self-driven hustle without external motivation demonstrates true commitment• Making eye contact during instruction signals respect and eagerness to learn• How you treat teammates and maintain accountability reflects leadership qualities• You're only as strong as your weakest link - great athletes elevate those around them• Being intense on the field while representing yourself well off it creates the complete packageIf you have any questions, you can always reach out to me at UAGfit.

“Sitting in a meeting and not contributing is more impersonal than letting a bot attend in your place.” — Andy Abramson, Founder & CEO, Comunicano In a wide-ranging and fast-moving conversation with Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green, veteran communications strategist Andy Abramson delivers a provocative take on the state—and future—of meetings in the AI era. Abramson, Founder and CEO of Comunicano and a decades-long force in telecom PR and strategic communications, begins by challenging the conventional wisdom that in-person meeting attendance is always better. Responding to a Washington Post article about AI bots attending meetings on behalf of humans, Abramson argues that automation isn't the enemy of productivity—in fact, it might finally deliver on it. “Most meetings are dominated by three or four people,” says Abramson. “The rest are scrolling Instagram, shopping online—or worse. Bots can attend in their place, and with the right tools, those people can get more value from the meeting in 10 minutes than they would in 60.” Doug Green probes the implications: Is this the end of collaboration? Or its rebirth? Abramson believes AI will actually foster better group dynamics. With meeting notes, summaries, searchable transcripts, and VCons (virtual conversation containers), information is more accessible than ever, and participation can be asynchronous but no less impactful. He points out that voice dominance and politics often muffle valuable ideas in large group settings. Streamlining who attends—based on contribution, not hierarchy—can amplify creativity and productivity. Drawing on his background in sports and media, Abramson outlines a playbook for smarter meetings: track engagement like player stats, rotate voices for freshness, and cut people loose when their time is better spent elsewhere. He even likens the future of meetings to modern coaching—leaders must evolve into facilitators who optimize team contribution rather than merely host a room. The conversation also touches on the origins of online collaboration in the 1980s, with Abramson offering a vivid tour of early digital bulletin boards and a pre-Internet proto-social network culture. This historical perspective leads to a discussion of VCon, a now-emerging open-source standard that encapsulates conversations—recordings, transcripts, summaries, and context—into portable, interoperable, and privacy-aware containers. “VCon is the PDF of conversations,” says Abramson. “It's portable, secure, and creates an immutable record of everything that was said, decided, and assigned.” Green and Abramson close by offering practical advice for leaders: use the data from your meetings—who spoke, who didn't—to refine participation, increase engagement, and free up your team's most valuable resource: time.

SummaryIn this sermon, Benjamin Lee explores themes of validation, the knowledge Jesus has of our hearts, and the comfort that comes from being seen by God. Benjamin encourages listeners to follow Jesus, overcome doubts, and find their worth in God's eyes, ultimately assuring them of their names being written in the Book of Life and the promise of greater things to come.TakeawaysEvery day is a moment to give praise to God.Discipleship begins with a personal encounter with Jesus.Recognizing Jesus as the Messiah is crucial for faith.Jesus knows our hearts and flaws, yet still desires a relationship with us.The desire for recognition can lead us down a dark path.God sees us individually and knows our names.We should find our worth in God's eyes, not in worldly validation.Jesus comforts us by knowing our struggles and seeing our potential.Following Jesus leads to greater things in life.Our names are written in the Book of Life when we follow Christ.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Praise and Gratitude03:04 Encountering Jesus: The Call to Discipleship06:13 Recognizing the Messiah: The Journey of Faith08:54 Understanding Jesus' Knowledge of Us12:06 The Desire for Recognition and Validation14:49 Jesus Knows Our Hearts and Flaws17:42 The Comfort of Being Seen by God20:28 The Call to Follow Jesus23:21 Overcoming Doubts and Questions26:09 Finding Worth in God's Eyes29:01 The Assurance of Our Names in the Book of Life31:37 The Promise of Greater Things to Come34:46 Responding to the Call of Jesushttps://www.icandopodcast.com

Read OnlineA woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter!  Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured. Matthew 9:20–21What a tremendous amount of faith this woman had! She had suffered for many years and continued to suffer with her hemorrhages. How did she know that touching Jesus' cloak would cure her? The only answer to that is faith. Faith is not just wishful thinking or hoping. Faith is a certain knowledge, given by a special grace and revelation from God, by which a person freely assents to belief. God spoke to her heart, she listened, she responded, and she was cured.One thing that is very inspiring in this Gospel story is the humility with which this woman approached Jesus. She didn't feel as though she needed to bother Jesus, to speak to Him, or to trouble Him with her problem. Instead, in her humility, she presented her need to Jesus through her gift of faith, interiorly and silently, and the grace of God was given her because God sees the heart and responds to such humble and sincere faith.Imagine if everyone had this depth of faith in our Lord. Imagine if all of us knew, with the deepest conviction of certitude, that God would take care of every need we have. And imagine if we turned to our Lord with this deep conviction of certitude every day with every need. If we could do that, then our Lord would be able to continually care for us in every way.One key component to this woman's healing is that it was God the Father who spoke to her and invited her to touch the cloak of His Son Jesus. And it was Jesus who sensed the healing she received, since He was in perfect union with the will of His Father. Therefore, touching Jesus' cloak was not simply a magical act by which whatever this woman wanted would be granted to her. Instead, it was a response to the interior invitation she was given by the Father.In our lives, we must work to do the same. Too often we present our preferences to God and tell Him what we want Him to do. God does not respond to such requests. Instead, we must seek His will...and His will alone. This woman knew she would be healed, because God the Father spoke to her in her mind and heart and inspired her to touch the cloak of Jesus His Son, and she responded, and the healing took place. God must speak first, we must hear and respond, and then His will is accomplished. Reflect, today, upon the gentle Voice of God as He speaks to you in the depths of your heart. Do you hear Him? What is He inviting you to do? What healing does He want to bestow? As you ponder God's Voice, try to respond only to Him. Set aside all of your own preferences and ideas of what God should do and seek only what He is speaking to you. Say “Yes” to Him, do so with certitude and conviction, and trust that whatever He speaks to you, if you have faith in what He says, He will do it. My gentle Lord, You speak to me day and night, calling me to the healing I need. Help me to hear Your Voice and to respond to You in faith. May my faith and confidence in You grow strong and become the source of Your glorious action in my life.
