It's easy for all of us to get swept away by the powerful current of "doing more." Although too many responsibilities stress us out, we often don't realize that unconscious emotions and unmet needs drive us toward giving too much of ourselves. Thankfully we can learn to care for our souls with Jesus and approach life in God's Kingdom with a full tank. Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi dive into the psychology behind busyness. You'll become aware of the unique factors that keep you from prioritizing soul care so you can establish new rhythms with the Good Shepherd and serve others in freedom.

SHOW NOTES:Care Units: Every pet is a care unit requiring time, commitment, and responsibility.Subjective Limits: Perceptions of "too many pets" are individual and context-dependent.The Balance of Joy and Responsibility: Finding the balance between joy from pets and their associated responsibilities is crucial. The Concept of "Care Units" and Its ImpactIn the bustling household of Mike and Torya, the concept of "care units" is a profound guiding principle. The duo touches upon how every living being adds to the household's responsibilities. As Mike asserts, "Every living thing in a household is a care unit. It doesn't matter if it's a mouse or a Great Dane."This notion challenges pet owners to reconsider the breadth of their responsibilities. Each pet demands attention, daily tasks, and emotional energy—factors that can quickly overwhelm if not managed effectively. The transcript reveals an insightful anecdote: Mike mentions feeling drowned when managing 20 lizards, indicating that even a hobby rooted in passion can become burdensome when stretched beyond capacity. This "care unit" philosophy underscores the delicate balance between passion for animals and the practical realities of daily upkeep.Broadening this discussion to the wider pet-owning community, these insights invite reflection: Are we adequately prepared to manage the responsibility that comes with every additional care unit? This theme resonates with anyone tasked with balancing their passion against practical constraints, be it in pet ownership or other areas of life. Subjective Thresholds: Defining "Too Many" PetsOne striking revelation from the conversation between Mike and Torya is the subjective nature of defining "too many" pets. While Mike leans towards establishing a baseline— “keep it under five” — Torya counters with, “It's a different answer for every single person in the universe.”This divergence demonstrates how personal circumstances, emotional connections, and lifestyle choices dictate the tipping point for each individual. For example, whereas Mike reflects on experiences indicating that two lizards are manageable, but 20 are overwhelming, Torya emphasizes that comfort thresholds vary widely: “There are people who have 12 children and there are people who have no children. It's the same thing.”The implications of this theme are significant when considering our societal perceptions of pet ownership. It prompts an acknowledgment of diverse living situations and preferences in determining what constitutes responsible ownership. In doing so, this insight bridges a connection with broader societal norms, fostering empathy and understanding across differing lifestyle choices. Balancing Joy and Responsibility in Pet OwnershipA recurring theme in the transcript is the balance between the joy pets bring and the responsibilities they entail. Torya describes their pets as a zoo, a testament to the love and chaos cohabitating their space. Mike elaborates on the rewarding routine, stating, “I do a lot better when I go to the gym every single day… It's the same thing.”This comparison highlights the discipline required to balance the emotional benefits and mundane responsibilities of pet ownership. As Mike discusses their dogs' needs and daily structures, he indirectly alludes to the emotional bond and sense of duty developed through routine care. Whether it's ensuring the choodles receive their spa day or keeping cats from their mischief, these interactions foster a cycle of joy and duty.The transcript encourages readers to introspect on what they derive from their interactions with pets versus the time and energy invested. It advocates for a conscientious approach where potential pet owners evaluate their readiness to embrace both ends of the spectrum—joy and responsibility—before expanding their furry family. Reassessing Commitments and Finding Personal BalanceReflecting on Mike and Torya's lively banter highlights a common yet compelling narrative—finding a balance that aligns joy and responsibility under one roof. Their dialogue demonstrates an equilibrium achieved not through stringent rules but through self-awareness and adaptability.The episode subtly reminds us that while pets fill our lives with joy, they also demand our dedication. By transforming care units into touchstones for our capabilities and limits, we nurture environments where both humans and animals thrive. For prospective pet owners, this serves as a guide to mindful pet ownership, harmonizing personal well-being with the love for animals.Ultimately, the duo's dynamic discussion offers a roadmap to evaluate one's threshold for pet ownership—an exploration into how life's little zoo can enrich our existence when managed with thoughtfulness and care.
Joe Lindsley is a traveler and a writer, and American who was reporting for Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the pandemic shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.----------DESCRIPTION:Navigating U.S. Support for Ukraine: Insights from Joseph Lindsley In this episode, Joseph Lindsley returns to discuss his daily reporting from Ukraine during the war. Highlighting his conservative stance and mission to inject truthful messages into U.S. conservative circles, Lindsley underscores the importance of influencing current power dynamics in support of Ukraine. They cover the experiences of Kyiv's recent calm interrupted by intense Russian attacks, the trauma left behind, and discussions about a potential awakening in Washington. Lindsley addresses being labeled as partisan while advocating for Ukraine, emphasizing the need to appeal to those in power. Key topics include Trump's perceived change in stance towards Ukraine, the importance of understanding MAGA's anti-war sentiment, and strategies to communicate Ukraine's actions and innovations effectively to the American public. The episode also features discussions on Russian propaganda, Ukraine's internal politics, and the significance of timely U.S. military support.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome Back Joseph Lindsley 01:10 Current Situation in Kyiv02:01 Conservative Voices and Ukraine03:22 Trump's Influence and MAGA06:22 Ukraine's Innovation and Military Strategy16:10 Media Criticism and Russian Propaganda19:44 Ukraine's Political Strategy25:51 The Importance of American Support28:19 Distrust in Washington and Ukraine's Common Ground28:39 Challenges in Convincing MAGA Supporters29:47 Ukraine's Struggle Against Russian Propaganda31:39 The Forever War Dilemma36:56 Ukraine's Technological Edge and Innovation43:20 The 50-Day Ultimatum for Putin50:03 Strategic Communication and Persuasion----------LINKS:https://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/donation/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lindsleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lindsley-60087618/https://www.youtube.com/@jplindsleyhttps://twitter.com/JPLindsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/jplindsley/https://www.facebook.com/josephlindsleyhttps://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Policy loans are one of the most powerful tools in infinite banking, but they're not free money. In this episode, Hans and Brian dive deep into the strategic considerations around when to use policy loans, when to avoid them, and how to think through these decisions holistically.From philosophical approaches to practical examples, they explore the spectrum of policy loan usage in the infinite banking community, ranging from Nelson Nash's "cut out the snakes and dragons" philosophy to pure arbitrage-focused strategies. The hosts share real-world scenarios that illustrate the power of having control and optionality in your financial decisions.Through Brian's recent land purchase and various investment examples, they demonstrate why maintaining liquidity provides strategic advantages and how policy loans can be leveraged responsibly as part of a comprehensive wealth-building strategy.The Philosophy Spectrum of Policy Loans: The infinite banking community spans from Nelson Nash's "cut out the snakes and dragons" approach to pure arbitrage-focused strategies. Finding the middle ground means using policy loans strategically while maintaining core principles over the 17-20 year journey.You Finance Everything You Buy: Whether you pay cash or finance, you're always giving up opportunity cost. When you hand cash to a dealer, that money stops working for you and starts working for them. Understanding this helps frame policy loan decisions within your overall capital allocation.The Power of Having Options: Maintaining liquidity provides strategic advantages. Keeping cash reserves above emergency fund levels allows you to seize unexpected opportunities, while having multiple financing options creates optimal decision-making flexibility.When NOT to Use Policy Loans: Avoid using policy loans for daily expenses, laddering policies (using loans to fund new policies), and taking loans without a repayment plan. Policy loans require responsible banking practices despite their flexibility.Investment Arbitrage Considerations: A 10% minimum return threshold provides one framework for policy loan investments. Asset allocation models can guide decisions beyond simple interest rate arbitrage across real estate, private lending, and other investment categories.➡️ Chapters00:00 - The Power and Responsibility of Policy Loans01:00 - Current Economic Environment and Tax Policy05:00 - Policy Loan Decision Framework08:00 - The 17-20 Year Journey to Financial Independence12:00 - Car Dealership Financing vs Policy Loans16:00 - The Ability to Repay as a Position of Strength22:00 - Emergency vs Opportunity Funds29:00 - Invest to Live, Don't Live to Invest33:00 - Asset Allocation Over Pure Arbitrage39:00 - Personal Investment Thresholds and Strategies48:00 - What NOT to Use Policy Loans For52:00 - Future Windfalls and Repayment Planning54:00 -The Dangers of Policy LadderingGot Questions?

With tariffs leading to higher prices on everything from clothing to electronics, is this an opportunity to rethink what we buy, and how often we buy it? In Chicago, a range of businesses and groups are helping residents rethink the typical consumer mindset by reusing items, and even buying locally. Reset learns more about the “circular economy,” how it works in Chicago, and how it could help your wallet – and by extension, the environment. We checked in with Jonathan Pereira, executive director Plant Chicago; Bob Shea, founding director of Devices 4 the Disabled; and Karen Weigert, director of Loyola University Chicago's Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility.

In this episode, I'm coming to you with something that's been moving through me lately—this deep connection between money, freedom, and the version of you that's ready to come online. After traveling and leading a powerful 7-day challenge inside the SI Club, I'm seeing more clearly than ever how our old definitions of money and control are not just outdated—they're exhausting us. I talk about the energetic shift from “getting” money to inviting it, and how that one pivot changes everything. So many of us are still trying to operate from a place of proving, deserving, or fixing—and it's keeping us in a loop of scarcity, even when we're doing all the “right” things. In this episode, I walk you through what it means to create space instead of pressure, and why neutrality is actually one of the most magnetic frequencies for wealth. You'll hear some real-world stories, including one about the guy at the bar (trust me—it's a great money metaphor), and I share more about how the structure of money, investing, and energetic responsibility all connect. I also talk about my own journey of releasing control, expanding into a higher version of me, and how that's impacting not just my wealth—but how I lead and create in the world. If what I'm saying resonates, and you know you're ready to step into a different money identity—one that's based on truth, not hustle—then I'd love to invite you into the Spiritual Investor Mastermind. We're open for enrollment right now. This is where I go deep with you to completely rewire your relationship with money, teach you how to build your own intelligent investment portfolio, and support you in stepping into full energetic and financial alignment. You'll learn just by applying. Visit thespiritualinvestor.com to learn more.

In this conversation, Dan Frommer, founder and editor in chief of The New Consumer, discusses the complexities of consumer behavior, particularly in relation to food choices. He explores the dichotomy between what consumers say they want and what they actually purchase, emphasizing the influence of technology, marketing, and generational differences. The discussion also touches on the challenges posed by ultra-processed foods and the importance of real food in promoting health and well-being. Throughout the conversation, Frommer shares insights from his research, highlighting the need for education and understanding in navigating consumer trends.Takeaways:Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for effective marketing.There is often a gap between what consumers say they want and what they actually buy.Food choices are influenced by technology and social media.Generational and gender differences play a significant role in food preferences.Education about food and health is essential for consumers.Surveys can provide valuable insights but have limitations.Real food is preferable to ultra-processed options for health.Trust in institutions is declining, leading consumers to rely on influencers.Personalization in food choices is becoming more important.Gratitude and mindfulness can enhance consumer satisfaction. Sound bites:“The healthiest foods that make people also the happiest are grapes, blueberries, and broccoli.”“Chocolate makes Gen Xers happier than any other product makes any other generation in all our research.”“I'm really interested to see companies finding ways to help people to make food choices that are not only considered smart on a macro level, but are the right thing for them personally.”“Younger people believe that grocers, online grocers especially, have a responsibility to recommend healthy food.”“Ultra-processed foods, a great example of something where people have very strong opinions about it, but don't actually know what they are.”“It's very hard to get Americans to agree on anything, but something that both Democrats and Republicans agree on in our research is that the government should be doing more to regulate ultra processed food than it has in the past.”“There's increasing awareness around seed oils. Some people are convinced that they are toxic and that they are killing Americans and making us all have terrible health. Other people, including scientists, are saying that is nonsense.”“The US is not in a recession, but most people think it is. So what do do about that?”“The people who are buying the cheapest, least environmentally friendly stuff are also the ones who are saying that they are more willing to go out of their way and spend more money for the environment.”“I think if we all just ate more real food, I think that would probably have a better outcome for so many different elements of the food chain of our health, wellness, etc.”Links:Dan Frommer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fromedome/The New Consumer - https://newconsumer.com/The New Consumer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/newconsumer/The New Consumer on X - https://x.com/newconsumerThe New Consumer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/newconsumerConsumer Trends: Food Feelings Matrix - https://newconsumer.com/2025/05/consumer-trends-food-feelings-healthy-happy/Consumer Trends: Food & Wellness 2025 - https://newconsumer.com/2025/03/introducing-the-consumer-trends-2025-food-wellness-special-report/How Americans really think about seed oils, Poppi & Olipop, and MAHA - https://newconsumer.com/2025/03/how-americans-really-think-about-seed-oils-poppi-olipop-and-maha/Consumer Trends: Beauty Special 2025 - https://newconsumer.com/2025/04/introducing-the-consumer-trends-beauty-special-2025/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Understanding Consumer Behavior05:59 Food Feelings: Happiness vs. Health08:58 Gender and Generational Differences in Food Preferences12:10 The Role of Technology in Food Choices15:04 The Impact of Ultra-Processed Foods18:02 Consumer Awareness and Education20:49 The Future of Food Consumption23:58 Cultural Shifts in Food Perception37:13 Raising Awareness on Food Safety38:04 The Complexity of Defining Health39:26 Evolving Perspectives on Nutrition41:01 Influencers vs. Experts in Health42:57 The Fragmentation of Media and Trust47:16 The Debate on Seed Oils48:47 Consumer Behavior vs. Intentions53:14 Using Research Effectively59:10 Personal Insights and Recommendations01:06:10 The Importance of Real FoodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Relationships at Work - the Employee Experience and Workplace Culture Podcast
This is part 4 of a 4-part conversation on the work leaders need to do to incorporate belonging in the workplace with author and research Dr. Beth Kaplan. Each episode explores a different theme—clarity, self-awareness, team dynamics, and workplace culture. Workplace culture often undermines belonging, even with the best of intentions. In this episode, we explore the difference between performative and real belonging, the disconnect between values and actions, and why DEI and belonging should be treated as distinct (but related) priorities. This is a wake-up call for leaders at every level.
"For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7 “The child's development follows a path of successive stages of independence and our knowledge of this must guide us in our behavior towards him. We have to help the child to act, will, and think for himself. This is the art of serving the spirit. An art which can be practiced to perfection only when working among children.” Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!

AUDIOBOOK: Audiobook – Now Available on Audible CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz! The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information.

In this lively and often humorous discussion, the hosts take the “Can You Afford to Be a Socialist?” test, comparing the privilege of political figures—like a candidate who quit his job at 33 because his wealthy Hollywood parents could bankroll him—to their own middle-class upbringings and expectations. They explore generational attitudes toward independence, share personal stories about living at home to pay off debt, and reflect on how economic reality shapes ideology. Along the way, they touch on rising housing costs, student loan burdens, and the social dynamics of moving back in with parents. If you've ever wondered how privilege intersects with politics—or laughed about the idea of your parents funding your mid-30s gap year—this conversation is for you.

In this episode of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses a variety of listener questions about Jewish practices and beliefs at the Torch Center in Houston. He clarifies that one does not need to stand when a covered Torah scroll is at rest on the bimah, but standing is required during its transportation, such as when it's removed from the ark or carried, with varying opinions on standing during its reading or blessings. On writing in sacred texts, Rabbi Wolbe explains that notes can be taken to aid Torah study if done respectfully, avoiding excessive markings that diminish a book's sanctity, and encourages maintaining a notebook for learning, as historical sages did. He addresses the disposal of holy texts in a genizah, a designated burial for worn-out sacred items, contrasting past preservation efforts with modern abundance due to printing and digital resources. Finally, Rabbi Wolbe attributes the root of antisemitism to a historical jealousy of the Jewish people's unique relationship with God and the Torah, exacerbated when Jews fail to uphold their responsibilities, urging greater commitment to Jewish values to mitigate such tensions.In this episode of Ask Away we address these questions and topics:Sitting while the Torah is out of the Ark, when it's covered and uncovered, or regarding the person holding the Torah during the Haftorah reading?Is it permissible to write notes in a book like the Book of Judges during a Torah study class? Does it matter if notes are written in pen or pencil?Is it okay to own a Torah book you haven't yet learned from but intend to study?How does the concept of genizah (storing or burying sacred texts) align with the practice of preserving or burying holy texts?Is it permissible to delete digital files containing Hashem's name, such as on a phone?What is the root of antisemitism, especially given current global issues?Does the rule of placing books from greatest to least importance apply only when they are laid on a table, not on a bookshelf?And much more ...

We're not just watching history—we're living in the middle of God's unfolding purposes. In this message, Pastor Allen Jackson calls us to wake up, speak up, and stand with bold faith. As he refers to Scripture from throughout the Bible, Pastor Allen teaches if you reject the Truth and you follow evil, you will face a God of wrath and anger. That's not a threat; it's awareness (Romans 2:8). As the nations rage and Israel takes center stage, we must understand our role as God's people in this unique moment. It's time to embrace responsibility, reject passivity, and align with God's eternal promises. He's moving—let's not miss it.

If there are no sages, what are we even aiming for?That was the quiet undercurrent flowing through my second conversation with Tanner Campbell, host of the Practical Stoicism podcast. We sat down not just to revisit Stoic ethics, but to tangle with a thorny but essential topic: how should a Stoic think about health and fitness?This isn't just a theoretical question.

Many people have experienced frustrations due to toxic workplace environments. Employers often find it hard to hire dedicated, skilled employees who are eager and able to work, and employees often struggle to find a workplace that allows freedom and flexibility to make personal choices about healthcare or political ideologies and issues.

We live in a world where people are no longer willing to take ownership for their lives. Many of us (myself included) have life areas where we have an “entitlement” mindset. As we will see from the story of Paul, God expects us to do things differently. Listen and be blessed. Shalom! Audio Download
In today's episode, we're digging into spiritual discernment. Everyone practices discernment daily—what to wear, what to eat, who to trust—but spiritual discernment is something deeper. It's not just a good habit—it's a biblical command. So what is the gift of discernment, and does that mean only some Christians are expected to use it? Or is spiritual discernment something we're all called to walk in? I'll break down the three areas where every Christian must exercise discernment: Truth vs. error Good vs. evil Sin vs. not sin If you've ever wondered how to sharpen your spiritual radar in a culture full of confusion, this episode is for you!

It's time for another episode of Ask Me Anything. Dawn and Ken answer listener questions that range from generative AI to whether grip strength is a biomarker for longevity and the potential of ketamine as a treatment for depression. Dawn also gives a brief overview of work she is doing with the deep-sea technology company Deep. As a special treat at the end of today's episode, Dawn plays a recording of the commencement speech that Ken recently gave at the University of West Florida. As the saying goes, you don't want to miss it. Show notes: [00:02:18] Ken starts off the episode with a listener question about whether Dawn and Ken read print books or digital, the reason being that a listener recently came across an article that claimed digital screens are rewiring our brains. [00:05:32] A listener asks about a paper titled “Grip Strength An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults” which claims that the ability to hang from a bar for 60 seconds for men, and 30 seconds for women, indicates that a person is likely to live longer. The paper claims that a decline in grip strength is associated with adverse health consequences, and the listener asks Ken what advice he has for developing and maintaining grip strength. [00:10:20] A listener asks a question inspired by our recent interview with Dr. Frank Butler. The listener asks if Ken has heard about the FDA approved depression therapy, esketamine, which is a derivative of ketamine and is a long-standing therapy for depression. [00:12:37] A listener asks Ken about a 2023 paper in the journal Age and Aging titled “Higher Dietary Protein Intake is Associated with Sarcopenia in Older British Twins” [00:16:13] A listener asks Ken about “Whisper,” which is a transcription product from OpenAI. The listener explains that OpenAI disclaims that Whisper should not be used in high-risk domains. However, according to a story by the Associated Press titled “Researchers Say an AI Powered Transcription Tool Used in Hospitals Invents Things No One Ever Said,” medical centers have already begun to use the tool to transcribe physician consultations. The listener explains that, according to the article, the use of Whisper in these contexts has led to numerous ‘hallucinations' from the AI tool and the listener asks Ken what his thoughts are on how tools like Whisper should be integrated into various industries. [00:20:21] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a series of articles by Kevin Roose in The New York Times claiming that there is no reason to learn how to code and program because very soon AI will take over all coding. Mr. Roose also asserts that the time is soon approaching when we need to have discussions on what rights to grant sentient AI. [00:21:57] A listener asks Ken if he concurs with a report from the National Academy of Medicine titled “Generative Artificial Intelligence in Health and Medicine – Opportunities and Responsibilities for Transformative Innovation,” which notes that large language models (LLMs) hold huge promise for patient care and healthcare system workflows, as well as risks. The listener asks if Ken agrees with the report's claims that two areas in which we could see near term applications of LLMs are patient education and synthesis of information of electronic medical records. [00:23:35] As a follow up question, Ken is asked about the aforementioned report's discussion of the “digital twin” concept. A digital twin is a computational representation of a patient or disease that could be used to speed up virtual experiments or subgroup analysis of investigational agents that carry risk for real patients. [00:26:26] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a paper published in the journal of Nutrition Health and Aging titled “Effects of Vitamin D3 Omega 3 Fatty Acids and a Simple Home Exercise Program on Change in Physical Activity Among Generally Healthy and Active Older Adults.” The paper claims that among generally healthy,
