One brand is preparing for a regulatory shakeup. Another just landed in Target with $24 million in fresh capital. The Taste Radio hosts discuss BRĒZ's bet on a future beyond THC, Stars & Honey's leap from DTC success to a nationwide Target launch, and how brands are reinventing Shirley Temples, protein bars, and Rice Krispie treats for a new generation of consumers. Show notes: 0:20: Fancy Talk. Strategizing For A Ban. E-Comm Insights. Why Buy? Shirley A Hot Trend. Aye, Captain. – Ray highlights the upcoming Summer Fancy Food Show and Taste Radio's Elevator Talk series before the hosts shift to a conversation about the challenges facing cannabis beverage brand BRĒZ. They discuss looming federal regulations that could severely restrict THC products and the company's efforts to expand with non-infused adaptogen beverages. The conversation then turns to protein bar brand Stars & Honey, which secured a nationwide Target launch and a $24 million investment from VMG Partners after spending years refining its direct-to-consumer business. The hosts discuss the brand's growth strategy, product positioning, and the broader appeal of flavor-forward protein bars. They also sample protein bar brand Samsara, praising its South Asian-inspired flavors, clean ingredient profile, and emphasis on taste over traditional nutrition-focused messaging. The hosts then discuss GT's Synergy Shirley Temple kombucha collaboration with Cheribundi, spotlight Lil' Bucks' buckwheat-based snack bars and note the rise of better-for-you alternatives to classic Rice Krispie treats. The episode wraps with a look at Protein Pints' new Protein Pops and a lighthearted farewell to longtime BevNET team member and "Sample Captain" Colin Segrue as he relocates from Boston to the New York area.

In this raw and revealing episode, serial entrepreneur Terry Tateossian sits down to discuss the hidden trials of balancing high-stakes business ownership with life-altering physical changes. Terry shares her profound awakening after a series of stress-induced health crises forced her to confront a massive weight gain, early perimenopause, and an emotional eating disorder. By stepping away from the "all-or-nothing" founder mindset and learning how to manage her body with internal empathy, she uncovered a sustainable lifestyle that brought her health back into alignment. Today, she uses her hard-won expertise to help other women navigate the physical and mental hurdles of midlife. You'll Learn Why: Extreme restrictive dieting often triggers a physiological rebound that leads to long-term weight gain rather than sustainable loss. Strength training serves as a fundamental pillar for longevity because female metabolic hormones tightly interact with lean muscle tissue. Nutritional literacy and proper macronutrient balance can dramatically ease systemic perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes and extreme fatigue. Holding an internal "board meeting" to listen to different emotional states helps prevent psychological self-sabotage in health and business.

In this episode, investor advocate Pam Krueger, founder and CEO of Wealthramp and creator of PBS's MoneyTrack, rejoins us to reframe what retirement readiness really means. The conversation moves from the money (why diversification is a verb; why the sequence of your returns matter; and why the saving habit that built your wealth has to be unlearned to spend it) to the life side of the equation (the “dimmer switch” alternative to the on/off switch of a traditional retirement, and the conversation couples should not skip). The big idea Pam shared today is optionality: instead of planning toward a single date or a magic number to hit, build a plan that's resilient enough to flex as life changes, because it will. It's a practical, candid look at designing the kind of next chapter you’ll love to get to live. _______________________ Bio Pam Krueger is an investor advocate, personal finance journalist, and author with over 25 years of industry experience.

Father's Day is on Sunday, and while the gifts/crafts from the kids can be sweet, they can also cause confusion and heartbreak for kids who have poor relations with their parents or live in an untraditional household. Last month, an elementary school in Winnipeg sent students home with "family gifts" instead of the traditional Mother's Day and Father's Day presents. Is this the right move?
Federal retirement planning at 60: if you're a year or two from retiring from federal service with a FERS pension, Social Security, and about $1M saved in your TSP, here are 5 decisions to make before you retire — so you stop asking "Am I okay?" and start building the retirement you actually want.This covers income order, TSP taxes and RMDs, Roth conversions, FEHB and Medicare timing, and IRMAA — gaps many federal employees miss before retiring.Apply for a Retirement Consultation: https://perspectivefunnel.co/682642d22275ec003bfa6626/691df07396253e003c42b434/?ps_hello=THE 5 DECISIONSYour numbers look fine — but you still don't feel okay. That's the gap we're closing.1) Income order — You've got three engines: your FERS pension, Social Security, and TSP. The pension turns on the day you retire. Social Security has a filing window from 62 to 70 — thousands of dollars a month for life. TSP is the lever you control. The real question: which do you draw from first, and which do you let grow?2) Taxes & RMDs — Required minimum distributions start between age 73 and 75 (depending on your birth year) from your Traditional TSP, IRA, and 401(k). They land on top of your pension and Social Security, which can push you into a higher bracket in retirement. The years before then are your Roth conversion / sequencing window. And IRMAA is a real Medicare surcharge that hits about two years later.3) Healthcare — FEHB is gold and stays with you in retirement. Medicare enters at 65: do you take Part B, skip it, or coordinate with FEHB? Miss the enrollment window and there's a late-enrollment penalty. Decide before the deadline, not after.4) Investments — You're shifting from accumulation to distribution. The portfolio that got you here often isn't the one that should carry you through retirement. Rethink risk and your TSP fund mix so a bad market doesn't force you to sell at the wrong time.5) Purpose — Plan what you're retiring TO, not just what you're retiring from. We've seen federal employees retire with $1M and go back to work in six months — no Monday-morning plan. Money is half the equation; structure, identity, and what's on your calendar are the other half.WHAT TO DO THIS MONTH: Lock your exact retirement date. Run three tax pictures (year one, when Social Security starts, when TSP/IRA withdrawals begin — and how much to withhold). Map your income order. Make the FEHB + Medicare call early. Write down your first 90 days on a calendar, not a spreadsheet. Do it intentionally, not perfectly.CHAPTERS0:00 Age 60, a Federal Pension, and $1M Saved — What Comes Next?0:27 Your Numbers Look Fine but Still Feel Unclear0:38 Decision 1 — Your Federal Retirement Income Order (Pension, SS, TSP)1:46 Decision 2 — TSP Taxes, RMDs, Roth Conversions & IRMAA2:46 Decision 3 — FEHB, Medicare Part B & Healthcare Timing3:34 Decision 4 — Shifting From Accumulation to Distribution5:38 Decision 5 — Planning What You're Retiring To6:19 What to Do This Month Before You Retire6:42 Apply for a Federal Retirement ConsultationMORE RESOURCESFederal Retirement Guidebook: https://cdfinancial.org/being-a-federal-employee-book/Take the Checklist Challenge: https://cdfinancial.org/checklist-challenge/Weekly Federal Retirement Planning Newsletter: https://cdfinancial.com/newsletterOPM Retirement Center: https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/OPM FERS Information: https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/fers-information/Social Security Full Retirement Age: https://www.ssa.gov/retirement/full-retirement-ageMedicare Late Enrollment Penalties: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/costs/medicare-costs/avoid-penaltiesWHO WE ARECD Financial helps federal employees and retirees make smarter retirement decisions around FERS, TSP, FEHB, Medicare, survivor benefits, and retirement income planning.

You're not over-fat. You're under-muscled. That single reframe changes how you think about your weight, your energy, and how well you'll age. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a fellowship-trained geriatrician and the founder of muscle-centric medicine, has spent her career arguing that we've fixated on the wrong organ. Obesity, insulin resistance, even cognitive decline don't start where you think. They start in your muscle. She breaks down why muscle is your metabolic currency, your body armor, and the closest thing we have to a longevity drug. And why the protein advice most people follow was set during wartime rationing, not built for the life you're trying to live. The hard part isn't the science. It's that the changes stay subtle until one day they're not. This conversation will make you rethink every plate of food and every workout you skip.

"Take charge. Your retirement is your time." Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with Dr. Andi Simon, corporate anthropologist and author of Rethink Retirement, whose research offers a bracing corrective to how most people think about life after work. Andi spent years embedding herself in senior living communities on the west coast, interviewing residents who had done everything "right" financially and still found themselves empty, bored, and stripped of identity. Through it all, she's concluded that retiring from something is not the same as retiring to something. The central tension Andi identifies is one of agency. Retirement is a transition most people face without any rehearsal. Unlike a career, which assigns identity, purpose, and daily rhythm almost automatically, retirement demands that individuals build those things from scratch. Most people don't realize this until the calendar is suddenly, completely clear. Her research also surfaces a loneliness epidemic quietly accelerating among retirees. Work colleagues disappear, and friendships built around shared roles don't transfer easily. Also, relationships don't deepen automatically just because time is now available. Instead, they must be deliberately cultivated. Andi suggests trying new activities, building community intentionally, and recognizing which old roles to carry forward and which to release. Above all, she invites near-retirees to take charge, not just of their portfolio, but of the life waiting on the other side! Key Topics: What is a Corporate Anthropologist?

Most marketers think great creative comes from better talent. Karen Pearce made a different case.In this Post Pod discussion, Marc and Vassilis reflect on their conversation with Karen Pearce, Partner at Rethink and one of the leaders behind some of the most awarded creative work in the world.The discussion explores why creativity often dies inside organizations before it ever reaches the market, how criticism can become a cultural trap, and why the best creative teams focus on finding sparks rather than flaws.They unpack Rethink's CRAFTS framework, the importance of psychological safety, the role of strong client-agency relationships, and why great ideas should start with human truths rather than channels.If you've ever wondered why some organizations consistently produce breakthrough work while others struggle to move beyond safe ideas, this conversation is for you.In this episode:Why creativity shouldn't feel scaryThe danger of rewarding criticism over contributionHow Rethink's CRAFTS framework shapes better ideasWhy relationships matter more than process aloneThe importance of psychological safety in creative teamsWhy ideas should come before channelsThe hidden systems behind award-winning creative workChapters00:00 - Introduction01:42 - Rethinking Marketing Culture04:21 - The Role of Creativity in Marketing06:58 - The Importance of Effective Creative09:53 - Expanding Creative Horizons11:33 - The Value of Independence in Agencies13:39 - Building Strong Client Relationships16:40 - Harnessing Human Truths for Creativity19:24 - Frameworks for Creative Success22:30 The Significance of Briefs in Marketing24:46 Consistency and Success in Creative Work
Dave West sits down with Mik Kersten, author of Project to Product and the upcoming Output to Outcome, to explore why AI amplification is exposing the real bottlenecks in how organizations work. Mik shares data from over 3,600 value streams showing that development teams account for just 8% of end-to-end delivery time which means making those teams faster with AI doesn't move the needle if the constraints are upstream and downstream.The conversation digs into why most organizations are measuring the wrong things (hint: token consumption is not a productivity metric), why overlay agile structures have largely failed, and why the answer isn't fewer teams it's more empowered ones. Mik introduces the core models from his new book: the outcome loop, the outcome tree, and seven organizational shifts that together make up a new operating model designed for the age of AI.Key Takeaways:The bottleneck has moved from software delivery to planning, governance, and innovation and most organizations haven't caught upMaking development teams faster with AI delivers little value if the surrounding system isn't designed around outcomesAgile as an overlay structure doesn't work it has to become the primary operating model and the actual org chartEmpowered, autonomous teams are not optional in an AI-driven world the speed of feedback loops makes half-measures unsustainableLeadership roles need to be redefined and incentive structures realigned to match the way teams are actually workingThe theory of constraints still applies in the age of AI the constraint just keeps moving, and finding it is now the critical management skillLinkshttp://outputtooutcome.org/

Most people assume award-winning creative work is a high-wire act: brilliant, risky, and impossible to repeat. Karen Pearce of Rethink makes the opposite case. Fresh off Ad Age's 2026 Agency of the Year and ADWEEK's 2025 Independent Agency of the Year, and as the most-awarded independent agency in the world last year, Rethink keeps producing famous, business-moving work on purpose.Recorded as a Cannes Lions lead-up, this conversation gets into the machinery behind the run. Karen explains why independence lets Rethink protect creative standards instead of chasing scale, why the client's real job is finding sparks rather than poking holes, and how the CRAFTS framework gives a whole agency a shared language for what good looks like. Karen walks us through the Heinz philosophy that every ad is a product ad, the go-then-grow approach that turns big swings into low-risk reps, and why, going into Cannes, she expects a reclaiming of human craft in an AI-flooded market.The through-line: bold creative shouldn't feel scary. Build the right system and the right partnership, and the work that wins awards is the same work that drives the business.Timestamps00:00 Find the sparks, not the holes02:08 What's behind the run: independence and the receipts05:48 Why great creative shouldn't feel scary09:12 Builders vs hole-pokers: the client's real job14:27 Famous brands outperform business metrics19:17 AI, human craft, and the IKEA sleep talkers22:42 CRAFTS: a shared language for great work30:57 Heinz: every ad is a product ad36:24 Go then grow: getting your reps in44:17 Idea first: when media becomes the creativeReferencesRethink: rethinkideas.comKaren Pearce: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/karengpearce/Rethink's Book: The Business of Creativity Referenced campaigns: IKEA “U Up” and IKEA organizer / Skittles out-of-home; Heinz “Looks Familiar” and the keystone ketchup pouch; Destination Canada; Coinbase craft-led film; Epitaph “garbage media” dumpster billboardsAnthropic “Keep Thinking” campaign for Claude, by Mother Awards context: Ad Age 2026 Agency of the Year

Six months into his administration, the mayor is planning to add hundreds of police officers, while Mamdani's proposed Department of Community Safety remains far smaller than what he campaigned on. WNYC and Gothamist reporter Elizabeth Kim explains how the mayor's approach to policing has evolved, why some supporters are frustrated, and what the shift could mean for public safety and politics in New York City.

Jeff is also the author of multiple sales books, including Rethink the Way You Sell and Fundamentals of Prospecting, and is known for blending practical insight, humor, and real-world experience to elevate modern sales teams.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome sales strategist, author, and consultant Jeff Bajorek for a candid conversation about integrity, leadership, resilience, and defining what success truly looks like.Jeff shares a deeply personal reflection on a recent leadership role that ended after just six months. Looking back, he realized that while he was focused on driving change and having difficult conversations, he failed to first earn the trust of the people around him by listening, connecting, and understanding what success already looked like within the organization.The discussion explores the relationship between identity and performance, the importance of maintaining belief in yourself, and how professional setbacks often become the greatest catalysts for growth. Jeff explains why integrity is much more than keeping your word—it's the alignment between what you sell, who you sell it to, how you sell, and why you sell it.Listeners will also hear powerful insights on culture, self-awareness, defining "enough," and why true success starts with getting the right priorities right both professionally and personally.This is an honest and thought-provoking conversation about growth, humility, leadership, and the ongoing journey of becoming the person capable of achieving the results you desire.KEY TAKEAWAYSSelling from the heart begins with integrity—alignment between what you sell, who you sell to, how you sell, and why.Belief and confidence are not permanent; they require daily attention and reinforcement.Lasting results require personal transformation, not just better goals or systems.Leadership starts with trust. Before driving change, leaders must understand and earn the hearts of their people.Professional setbacks often provide the greatest opportunities for growth and self-discovery.More than one truth can exist at the same time—you can experience failure and still be proud of your effort.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESIntegrity is alignment between what you sell, who you sell it to, how you sell it, and why.Belief is a daily practice. The moment you assume it'll always be there, it starts to disappear.In order to achieve different results, you must become the kind of person capable of producing those results.I knew what good looked like, but I never stopped long enough to understand what good already looked like to the people around me.You can't lead people effectively until you've earned the right to influence them.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

This weeks sponsor: Crann From Probio Carbon https://www.probiocarbon.ieConifers have spent years stuck in the “dated garden” box, but we're starting to see them differently and for good reason. After spotting standout examples in show gardens and design work, we talk through why conifers are quietly making a comeback and how a single well-chosen evergreen can add structure, texture and calm to a border all year round. If you've ever thought “conifers aren't for me”, this is the rethink. We also unpack a very real gardening problem: weather whiplash. Going from cold conditions to near 30°C heat and then straight back into wind and heavy rain doesn't just feel dramatic, it changes how plants grow. We share what we're seeing on the ground, from scorched seedlings in polytunnels to onions, garlic and leeks starting to bolt after heat shock, plus why fluctuating moisture levels can push plants into stress. With wetter conditions back, we flag what to watch for right now: slugs and snails appearing in big numbers and potato blight risk rising quickly, especially where soft growth has been knocked about by wind. Then we move into practical, listener-friendly conifer picks and care tips, including compact pines, classic trees like Cedrus deodara and Metasequoia, and evergreen staples such as Taxus baccata for hedging and clipping. If you enjoy these practical garden check-ins and plant-focused deep dives, subscribe to the podcast, share the episode with a gardening friend, and leave a review so more people can find it. What conifer would you actually plant in your garden?Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Rethink Ireland has launched the new €1.5 million Skills for Tomorrow Fund in collaboration with Deloitte Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. The fund will support innovative projects helping marginalised individuals and communities develop the skills they need to succeed in the future world of work. The fund will also support successful applicants to strengthen their impact through the practical and responsible use of artificial intelligence. Skills for Tomorrow will support up to nine organisations over 2.5 years, with cash grants ranging from €137,500 to €200,000. The fund comes at a time of shifting labour markets and rapid technological change, with increasing concern that individuals and communities already experiencing marginalisation risk being left further behind due to barriers to accessing education, training, digital literacy and employment opportunities. Applications are encouraged from projects and organisations focused on improving education and employment outcomes for marginalised groups including young people not in education, employment or training, long-term unemployed individuals, people with disabilities, minority ethnic communities, lone parents and those experiencing educational disadvantage. Launching the Skills for Tomorrow Fund, Deirdre Mortell, CEO of Rethink Ireland, said: "As the world of work continues to evolve, we need to ensure that people and communities already experiencing marginalisation are not further excluded from future opportunities. The Skills for Tomorrow Fund is about creating practical and inclusive pathways into employment, education and lifelong learning. "Through this fund, we want to support organisations that are already doing transformative work in communities across Ireland and help them scale their impact. We are also particularly excited to support successful applicants to explore how artificial intelligence can enhance and streamline the work they do every day." Welcoming the launch of the fund, Lorraine Griffin, Chairperson of Deloitte Ireland, said: "At Deloitte, we are proud to support this multiyear fund with Rethink Ireland. We understand that Ireland's future innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders will need new skills to meet tomorrow. Through the 'Skills for Tomorrow' fund, we are investing in innovative approaches that support education, digital skill development and training opportunities so more people have the opportunity to succeed in the modern economy. "As technology expands opportunity for those with access and skills, it can also reinforce barriers for those without. With the right support, more people can participate in and benefit from the future economy. Organisations serving communities are also facing rising demand and equipped with the right technology, they can do more and reach further." Reflecting on the impact of previous funding, Stuart Buchanan, Head of Advocacy & Impact at YMCA Dublin, an awardee organisation of Rethink Ireland & Deloitte's previous fund, said: "Funding like this can completely change what is possible for organisations working at community level. It allows us to reach people who often feel excluded from education, employment and digital opportunities and provide them with the confidence, skills and support they need to build better futures. "The long-term support from Rethink Ireland helped us grow our impact, strengthen our programmes and create meaningful opportunities for people who are too often left behind." The Skills for Tomorrow Fund is seeking applications from two strands, the first is organisations providing supports for young people; and the second is support for adults. Projects supported through the fund should demonstrate innovative and evidence-based approaches to future skills development, digital inclusion and workforce participation. Applications are now open and will close on 29 June 2026. Further information is available at https://rethinkireland.ie/current_fu...

Stevens – self‑proclaimed best love coach on the planet, love shaman, and divorce stopper – to radically rethink what marriage, relationships, and commitment really mean. Kenya shares her five foundational principles for a thriving partnership and explains why ownership, shame, and blame have no place in modern love.Topics Discussed:The five base principles of a strong marriage: no shame and blame, no victims or villains, no cop‑outs or dropouts, purpose is growth (benefit is love), and “I create my life”Why open marriage won't make you happy – but ownership‑based monogamy won't eitherThe three parts of the self: animal (feelings), ego (storyteller), higher self (solution‑finder)How to stop shaming and blaming your partner by recognising you're looking at a reflection of yourselfEpisode Highlights:[00:00:03] – Kenya K.

En este episodio de Let's Rethink This, converso con Elena Vidal sobre uno de los temas más malinterpretados en el mundo del trabajo: la cultura organizacional.Muchas empresas siguen viendo la comunicación, el bienestar, el reconocimiento y la salud emocional como temas irrelevantes. Pero la ciencia dice otra cosa. Hablamos de cómo una cultura positiva impacta directamente el engagement, el burnout, la retención y hasta la productividad de una organización. También exploramos por qué tantas compañías siguen atrapadas en modelos de liderazgo enfocados únicamente en resultados… aunque estén destruyendo a su gente en el proceso. Durante la conversación hablamos sobre:Qué realmente es la psicología positiva (y por qué no es “romantiqueo”)Cómo compañías como Google y Disney utilizan ciencia del comportamiento para crear culturas de alto desempeñoEl concepto de flow y cómo crear trabajos donde las personas puedan sentirse energizadas y no drenadasEl impacto de la inteligencia artificial en el cerebro, el pensamiento crítico y el trabajo humanoPor qué las nuevas generaciones ya no toleran culturas tóxicasCómo líderes y empleados pueden empezar a transformar la cultura desde donde estánEste episodio es una invitación a repensar cómo trabajamos, lideramos y construimos empresas. Porque sí, puedes tener resultados… sin destruir a tu equipo en el proceso.
Longer lives bring new changes and with the right strategy, those changes don't have to limit how you feel or function.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) with clarity and perspective.

The Early Church: reTHINK 5/31/26 by LifePath Church
The Australian sharemarket finished flat ahead of key economic data this week, including GDP figures and US jobs numbers. Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with Elio D'Amato from EnviroInvest about the day's market moves, rising oil prices and BHP's record high. Plus, Kelly Power, CEO of CFS Superannuation, explains why Australians now believe they need more than $1 million to retire comfortably and why many expect to work longer before leaving the workforce. Also, housing expert Tim Lawless warns national property prices could begin falling from next month as higher interest rates, a slowing economy and policy changes start to weigh on the market.

Jared Correia takes us on a psychedelic tour of Memphis before diving into the complex world of tax optimization for business owners. First, in the monologue, Jared recaps his "mind-f***" trip to Graceland. From the Jungle Room's porcelain monkeys and a bright yellow-and-black TV room to Elvis's Gatorade-stocked private jets, Jared explains why the King's estate is essentially "Redneck Disney World"—a 14-acre compound built to the god of capitalism. Then, Jared sits down with Megan Robin, owner of Megan Robin Law. Megan holds an LLM in Tax Law and explains how she fills the "multidisciplinary gap" for law firm owners. In this interview, we discuss: The Conventional Retirement Trap: Why aggressive 401k saving might not make sense for high-earning "knowledge workers" who peak later in life. The CFO Gap: Why your $500-per-return accountant likely isn't providing a proactive tax strategy. Real Estate vs. Wall Street: The hidden conflict of interest in Assets Under Management (AUM) fees and why your advisor might be steering you away from property investments. Niching for Lawyers: Why Megan focuses on the unique entrepreneurial mindset of law firm owners. Finally, stick around for a new segment: "Taxing Myths and Legends." Jared tests Megan on the weirdest taxes in human history. Find out which are real—from the Ancient Roman urine tax to the 19th-century Ohio squirrel scalp tax. Learn more about Megan Robin.

Shang Saavedra is a personal finance expert who helped me rethink frugality in a liberating way. Our conversation explored the emotional roots of our money habits, revealing how mental health significantly impacts financial literacy. Shang shared her personal story of living off 20% of her income during her twenties, not out of scarcity, but with the goal of buying time and freedom later. This approach was truly eye-opening, showing me that frugality can lead to joy when it's aligned with our values. Shang's inspiring and compassionate approach left me feeling more empowered and hopeful about my financial journey, and I hope sharing her insights will motivate you to embark on your path to financial freedom too.

Jesus never hid the cost of following Him. When He called fishermen from the shores of Galilee, His invitation was more than “come believe in Me.” It was, “Follow Me, and I will send you out…” Following Jesus meant leaving comfort behind, stepping into the work of ministry, and learning to trust Him through pruning, sacrifice, rejection, and perseverance. The same invitation still stands today. In a world where it’s easy to settle for comfortable Christianity, Jesus calls His people to something deeper—to remain in Him, bear much fruit, and join Him in His mission to seek and save the lost. The question is not simply whether we believe in Jesus, but whether we are truly following Him. And while the pruning can be painful, the life He produces through surrendered disciples is worth it. Join us this weekend as we open God’s Word together and re-think what it really means to follow Jesus. Come be encouraged, challenged, and reminded not to lose heart in the process God is using to grow lasting fruit in your life. -Pastor Ben Key Verses: Matthew 9:37-38 (NIV) - Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49597919
Jason Shepperd built a megachurch that has no small groups. Instead, more than 4,000 people across Houston meet weekly in dozens of house churches, each one led by an unpaid lay pastor with a day job: firefighters, business owners, real estate guys doing the actual pastoral work of the church. He calls it "a church of house churches" and it might be the most unusual functioning church structure in America.In this conversation, Jason sits down with Jeremy McCommons and Alex Rossie to break down how the model actually works, why he believes the traditional church model is broken, and what he learned reading the New Testament that he couldn't unsee.We get into:- Why a house church is fundamentally different from a small group- How lay pastors (firefighters, business owners, real estate guys) do the actual pastoring- Why Church Project runs on one-quarter the staff of a typical megachurch its size- Why Jason refuses to call this a "model he invented" and what he means by eDNA- How Church Project gives away nearly half its operating budget every year- Why most church buildings are bad stewardship (and how Church Project's building pays for itself)- The "three D's" that hold the whole structure together- What Jason would say to a 35-year-old church planter who's tired of the traditional modelIf you're a pastor, a small group leader, a church planter, or someone who's quietly wondering whether there's a better way to do church, this one is for you.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 The stewardship of space and spiritual gifts1:15 Meet Jason Shepperd and Church Project3:30 What is the church, actually?8:45 Why Jason started Church Project12:10 What eDNA means and why it matters16:20 House church vs. small group: the real difference22:00 The three D's: distributed, decentralized, diverse28:40 Sunday gatherings without centralization33:15 What Jason says to pastors considering this model39:00 How Church Project handles finances44:30 Why most church buildings are bad stewardship49:00 Pirates and cruise ships: how to build without tearing down

AI is changing more than workflows — it is changing what teams are, how leaders lead, and what kinds of people businesses need next. In this episode, Ryan Alford talks with Veronica Shelton, co-founder of Oak Theory, about accessibility, inclusive design, neurodivergent thinking, leadership without ego, and why curiosity is often the trait that separates good founders from great ones. They also go deep on the practical side of AI adoption: how roles are blending, how companies can stay lean without losing humanity, and why resisting change is no longer a viable option. Ryan connects with Veronica especially around founder leadership, team evolution, and the challenge of helping people adapt to a world where AI is becoming part of nearly every role. The result is a smart, current conversation for anyone building a company, managing creative work, or trying to understand where modern work is actually headed. Topics Covered Veronica Shelton's path into product design and creative tech Why curiosity drives real success Accessibility, psychology, and better digital experiences The human implications of AI at work How Oak Theory is evolving team roles with AI Why leaders need to drop ego and tell the truth Ryan Alford and Veronica Shelton on what adaptation really looks like Links Oak Theory: oaktheory.co Under the Oak: undertheoak.co Veronica Shelton on LinkedIn: LinkedIn profile for Oak Theory co-founder Veronica Shelton.

Rethink your farm with us this week as we wipe the slate clean and re-evaluate how your farm works. This interactive podcast will guide you through starting cleanly, helping you understand how deer move on your property. This 7-step exercise will make areas on your farm stand out using OnX mapping. Future bedding thickets will be revealed, travel corridors and areas where deer are vulnerable to harvest will appear when you start over. New stand locations await you on the other side of the exercise. Mentally these are exercises that we perform whenever we walk a new farm. We see the farm with fresh eyes, no expectations, and with no previous observations of how deer use a farm—just the straight basics. Sometimes the path forward isn't straight; it may require you to take a few steps back, before moving forward.

Graham Stephan was relentless about one thing before he had anything else: not spending money he did not have to spend. He calculated the gas cost of visiting a friend and decided it was not worth it. Most people would call that extreme. He calls it the foundation. The habits he built early, consistency, focus, and ruthless saving, did not feel heroic in the moment. They felt boring. But boring done every single day is what compounded into real estate commissions, YouTube income, and an investment portfolio split evenly between property, index funds, and cash. What he did not do was wait until he felt ready. He held off on starting his YouTube channel for years because he did not have a Lamborghini like the other guys. When he finally started, none of that mattered. The deeper conversation here is about what money actually means once you have enough of it. Graham is not chasing a bigger number. He wants to buy back his time, to read a book on a Tuesday if he feels like it. That shift from accumulation to freedom is where this episode gets genuinely interesting. Graham on YouTube Graham's website Graham on Instagram In this episode you will: Discover the three specific habits Graham used to go from nothing to his first million and why saving was the most underrated one Learn how he structures his investments today across real estate, index funds, and cash, and the simple daily routine he uses to stay consistent Understand why waiting until you feel credible is the trap that keeps most people from ever starting Rethink what you believe about renting versus buying a home and when each choice actually makes financial sense Shift how you think about the end goal of building wealth, from hitting a number to designing a life that gives you your time back For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1925 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes Solo [From $0-1M in 2026] Glennda Baker Dave Ramsey Get more from Lewis!
