Today's episode is powerful, Thrivesters - I'm diving into a topic most high-achieving women like you struggle with but rarely talk about: rest. Not as a luxury, but as a requirement for resilience, clarity, and confidence.For example - my friend who was too exhausted to get off her bed and go to the beach - even though that's exactly what she needed. On a Thursday. In Cape Cod.Sound familiar? We, as women have been conditioned to believe that we have to earn our rest and today, we're unpacking why that belief is holding us back and may be causing more damage than we know.We'll explore:Why women are conditioned to associate rest with laziness or selfishnessHow tying your identity to your output makes rest feel dangerousThe sneaky guilt that shows up when you try to slow downScience-backed reasons rest = resilienceThis is your reminder that rest isn't indulgent. It's intelligent. And reclaiming it might just be the boldest move you make this year.You'll learn how:Rest improves executive function, decision-making, and emotional regulationWomen experience higher rates of burnout because of our output-driven identityGuilt around rest is a symptom of conditioning - not truthResilience isn't pushing through; it's bouncing back - and this requires recovery (ie, REST).Your challenge this week: rest without the guilt and without “earning” it. Take 20 minutes just for you - no justification required.Then - go out there and thrive like you mean it!Thriving Isn't Just Doing More of What You Love - Even Joy Needs Boundaries EP156

WATCH on YouTube | https://linkly.link/2CGYo - The whoa post is where steadiness truly begins for Nate Czarnota of Iron Oak Dog Company. In Part 2 of the Iron Oak Steadiness Series, we teach your bird dog exactly what “whoa” means using tactile cues, food rewards, and the belly e-collar. From first reps on the post to introducing the blank shots and flushing birds, this episode shows you how to layer steadiness cues for maximum transfer into the field.
In this episode, we break down the shocking move by European leaders—specifically Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron—to recognize a Palestinian state while echoing Hamas's propaganda about a so-called starvation crisis in Gaza. This isn't just political posturing—it's a dangerous endorsement that plays directly into the hands of a terror group responsible for the October 7 massacre. As Israel continues to fight for its survival, the West's willingness to reward Hamas sends a chilling message. It's a betrayal that can't be ignored.

The UK wants to recognize a Palestinian state based on bizarre logic. Hamas is thrilled, of course — but what happens when we apply the British prime minister's own reasoning to the Palestinians?

The misinformation machine is at it again and blurting out words from the many corners of the coffee shop. Blurting out words without even trying. In this episode we detail how reward banding really works and how those data are used, the legals on flooded corn, and we once again revisit the idea of calendar vs. weather migrators. It's all so easy, but y'all keep the conspiracy train running, making it all so much more difficult than it should be. A taste about how duck population models works and we also hit on the first hints of a La Nina, that and more, all today on the FowlWeather Podcast.
Because choosing intelligence shouldn't feel like a radical act.Okay, look—I had to sit down and face a hard truth. We all have our “-isms,” right? Some people are racist, some are classist. Me? I'm dumbist. I have a low tolerance for stupidity. Not ignorance—ignorance can be educated. But active, enthusiastic stupidity? That's my villain origin story.I realized this while standing in line at the grocery store, overhearing someone explain how they “don't trust electricity.” And it hit me: I'm a misanthrope with WiFi. But I'm not alone.Let's be real—we live in a society that rewards physical aesthetics but not mental acuity. You get a six-pack, you're a hero. You read six books? You're suspiciously quiet and probably a witch. It's wild.And we've created a machine—a black mirror we carry in our pockets—that spits info at us so fast, we don't retain a damn thing. It's all junk food for the brain. The tragedy? We used to savor knowledge like a fine meal. Now we inhale it like gas station nachos and forget it by lunch.So what would a Society for Intelligence even look like?No, not a Mensa wine mixer with monocles and grammar snobs. I'm not saying we build a techno-nerd utopia where spelling errors are capital crimes. I'm talking about a world that values intelligence in all its weird, wonderful forms. One that nurtures curiosity and encourages us to ask better questions.Because intelligence isn't just one thing. It's not just math tests and spelling bees. Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences says it's a mix—logic, language, music, movement, people skills, inner self-awareness, nature, and even existential dread (yes, stoners count too).And don't get me started on IQ tests. They measure how good you are at taking IQ tests. They don't tell me whether you'd make a decent decision in a crisis—or whether you'd try to ride a bear in Yellowstone for TikTok clout. (Spoiler: a lot of people fail that test.)Here's the real kicker: Smart doesn't mean genius. Smart means adaptable. It means curious. It means you know when to shut up and listen. And it means you're not afraid to look stupid by learning something new.So what do we do?Teach critical thinking.Reward empathy.Build systems with checks and balances, not cults of personality.Encourage people to read a damn book.Make curiosity cool again.And if someone tells you they “don't do politics,” remind them: that's not neutrality—it's just being comfortably uninformed.I'm not perfect. Far from it. I've made dumb decisions, eaten suspect sushi, dated human tire fires. But the difference is—I learned. And I think that's all we're really asking for.So let's build a society that rewards that.And hey, if this post sparked something in your over-caffeinated brain, join the Patreon, throw in a buck or two, help me keep screaming into the void with purpose.Until next time:Be smart. Be kind. Best of all—be good.
Welcome to Episode 111 of The Journey Is the Reward! On this week's show, we're absolutely thrilled to welcome a true titan of the skies, soon-to-be Lifetime Global Services member, Fozz Mahmud of the Dots, Lines, and Destinations podcast. This man has more air miles than a commercial airline, and we can't wait to pick his brain.But before we ascend to that altitude, we've got some essential pre-flight checks. First up, we're answering a question from Listener Francis, who's curious about navigating the complexities of flying around and within closed airspace. And because we never shy away from a little turbulence, Micah and I will also be discussing the geopolitical intricacies of flying into regions like Israel and Iran. It's a topic that demands a professional pilot's precision and a diplomat's tact.Then, Listener Lu sends in a fantastic query about converted aircraft. She wants to know if we've ever landed ourselves in a plane that's been repurposed into a house or, perhaps, dined in a fuselage-turned-restaurant. We're ready to share our airborne architectural adventures!And, as always, we've got a few shout-outs and detours to cover. The Journey Is the Reward recently received a wonderful mention on the Plane Crazy Downunder podcast– a true feather in our cap! We'll also be touching down on the important topic of fish tacos at Rubio's in San Diego (because even aviators need good fuel!) and Brian's masterful use of the $200 Hilton resort credit from his Hilton Aspire credit card. Sometimes, even when you're not in the air, you're still strategically navigating the travel landscape.After all that vital housekeeping, Brian and Micah are absolutely delighted to share a recorded conversation with our esteemed guest, Fozz Mahmud, fellow co-host of the truly exceptional travel industry podcast, Dots, Lines, and Destinations. Fozz is on the cusp of achieving the legendary status of Lifetime 4 Million Mile status with United Airlines – a feat that makes most frequent flyers feel like they're still in the holding pattern. Brian's certainly been working towards it, though he's not sure he'll ever reach that altitude now that his full-time business travel days are somewhat grounded.It's a truly engaging conversation with Fozz, where we explore his preferred flying experiences, aircraft, and destinations, as well as the ever-evolving, sometimes turbulent, world of points and miles.And as always, our show is perfectly bookended by the truly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded live from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic – they'll have you feeling like you're floating on cloud nine.So, buckle up, relax, and enjoy the flight! Let's make some memories and genuinely enjoy the Journey, because, well, it truly is the Reward!

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Risk and Reward: Marketing Magic at Szantorini Café Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-07-26-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap ragyogóan sütött a szantorini kávézó ablakán keresztül, ahonnan pompás kilátás nyílt az Égei-tengerre.En: The sun was shining brilliantly through the windows of the szantorini café, offering a splendid view of the Égei-tenger (Aegean Sea).Hu: A kék tenger hullámai a napfényben csillogtak, és egy gyengéd nyári szellő remegtette a leveleket.En: The blue sea waves glistened in the sunlight, and a gentle summer breeze made the leaves tremble.Hu: László és Katalin egy kerek faasztalnál ültek, előttük fehér porcelán csészékben gőzölgő kávéval.En: László and Katalin sat at a round wooden table, with steaming coffee in white porcelain cups in front of them.Hu: László a jegyzeteit böngészte, koncentrált szemekkel meredt a papírra.En: László was browsing his notes, staring intently at the paper.Hu: Katalin mellette ült, ránézett félig kész vázlataira.En: Katalin sat next to him, looking at her half-finished sketches.Hu: Ők ketten nemrég érkeztek a szigetre, hogy a hétvégi határidő előtt megoldják a marketing kampány kihívásait.En: The two had recently arrived on the island to tackle the challenges of their marketing campaign before the weekend deadline.Hu: "Véleményem szerint maradjunk a hagyományos reklámnál," mondta László, miközben rápillantott Katalinra.En: "In my opinion, we should stick with traditional advertising," said László, glancing at Katalin.Hu: "Bizonyított módszer.En: "It's a proven method."Hu: "Katalin nagyot sóhajtott.En: Katalin sighed deeply.Hu: "Egyetértek, hogy biztonságos, de nem elég izgalmas," felelte.En: "I agree that it's safe, but it's not exciting enough," she replied.Hu: "Mi lenne, ha kipróbálnánk valami újat?En: "What if we tried something new?Hu: Valami kreatívat, ami megfogja az embereket.En: Something creative that grabs people's attention."Hu: "László homlokát ráncolta.En: László frowned.Hu: Félt a kockázattól, attól, hogy a kudarc az ő hibája lesz.En: He was afraid of the risk, worried that failure would be his fault.Hu: "És ha nem működik?En: "And if it doesn't work?Hu: Mi van, ha veszítünk a piacon?En: What if we lose in the market?"Hu: "Katalin lehunyta a szemét, majd lágyan kinyitotta őket.En: Katalin closed her eyes, then gently opened them.Hu: Mély levegőt vett.En: She took a deep breath.Hu: "Bíznunk kell abban, hogy a friss ötletek elérik a célközönséget.En: "We have to trust that fresh ideas will reach the target audience.Hu: Ígérem, nem hagylak cserben.En: I promise, I won't let you down."Hu: "A kávézó halk zajja körülvette őket.En: The soft noise of the café surrounded them.Hu: Az emberek beszélgettek, s közben a tenger messze morajlott.En: People were chatting, while the sea murmured in the distance.Hu: A napfény melege betöltötte a helységet, mintha egy pillanatra megállt volna az idő.En: The warmth of the sunlight filled the place, as if time had stopped for a moment.Hu: Ekkor Katalin, látva László vonakodását, előre hajolt és határozott hangon folytatta.En: Then Katalin, seeing László's hesitation, leaned forward and continued in a determined voice.Hu: "Képzeld el: egy videó, ahol az élet a mi termékünkkel színesebb, vidámabb!En: "Imagine this: a video where life gets more colorful and joyful with our product!Hu: Ez lenne az új irány.En: That would be the new direction.Hu: László, merd megálmodni!En: László, dare to dream it!"Hu: "László hallgatott.En: László listened.Hu: Majd megnézte jegyzeteit, aztán a tenger felé fordult, mintha útmutatást keresne a hullámok között.En: Then he looked at his notes and turned towards the sea, as if searching for guidance among the waves.Hu: Az arcán lassan mosoly jelent meg.En: Slowly, a smile appeared on his face.Hu: Tekintete visszatért Katalinra.En: His gaze returned to Katalin.Hu: "Tudod mit, próbáljuk meg," mondta végül.En: "You know what, let's try it," he said finally.Hu: "Keverjük a biztonságosat az újjal.En: "Let's mix the safe with the new.Hu: Nem akarok megragadni a múltban.En: I don't want to get stuck in the past.Hu: Bízzuk rád a kreativitást, és engem a részletekre.En: Let's trust you with the creativity and me with the details."Hu: "Katalin arca felderült, mosolya ragyogóbb volt, mint a napfény.En: Katalin's face lit up, her smile more radiant than the sunshine.Hu: "Ez fantasztikus, László!En: "That's fantastic, László!"Hu: "Aznap délután nekiálltak a munkának.En: That afternoon, they set to work.Hu: Katalin óvatosan vezette be az ő ötleteit, míg László a részleteket tökéletesítette.En: Katalin carefully introduced her ideas, while László perfected the details.Hu: Közösen alkottak valami újat, melyben mindkét világ legjobb elemei keveredtek.En: Together, they created something new, blending the best elements of both worlds.Hu: A kávézó ajtajánál a szellő új dallamot susogott, míg kettőjük között újfajta harmónia született.En: At the café door, the breeze whispered a new melody, while a new kind of harmony was born between the two of them.Hu: És ott, a tengeri szél közepette, megértették: néha kockázat nélkül nincs valós nyereség, és nincs igazi siker kreativitás nélkül.En: And there, amid the sea breeze, they understood: sometimes there is no real profit without risk, and no true success without creativity.Hu: A kampány végül hatalmas sikert aratott.En: The campaign eventually became a huge success.Hu: Minden jó lett, amit csak elterveztek.En: Everything turned out well, just as they had planned.Hu: László most már tudta, hogy fontos az újra való nyitottság, és Katalin bebizonyította, hogy megéri vállalni a kockázatot.En: László now knew that openness to new ideas was important, and Katalin proved that taking risks was worth it.

'And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.' Genesis 5:24 'By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ' Hebrews 11:5
UCLA's Avishek Adhikari, PhD, presents new research on the role of GABAergic neurons in the brain's periaqueductal gray (PAG) region. Previously studied for their involvement in fear and defensive behaviors, these neurons were found to promote food-seeking behavior when activated—even in fully fed mice. Using calcium imaging and optogenetics, Adhikari's team discovered that these neurons are active during food approach but suppressed during eating. The effect is stronger for high-value foods like chocolate or crickets and depends on the mouse's prior experience with that food. A key finding is that these neurons influence behavior through a specific projection to the zona incerta, a subthalamic region. Rather than signaling hunger, this pathway appears to drive food seeking based on reward value, highlighting a new motivational circuit in the brain.

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I talked about why we need to rethink loyalty programs in the hospitality industry. To me, loyalty isn't about handing out discounts—it's about creating emotional connections with our guests. I shared how designing programs that reward status and access, rather than just transactions, can help restaurant owners build a real sense of belonging. I also touched on how important it is to involve our team in these programs and why they can serve as powerful marketing tools to boost both engagement and sales.Takeaways:Most restaurant owners think they need more guests.Profit isn't random, it's engineered.Loyalty isn't transactional. It's emotional.Discounts don't build loyalty, identity does.Your loyalty program should sell, not just retain.Engagement trumps size every day.Make loyalty a part of service, not a side hustle.Your team is the engine.Audit your current program.Reward it with a feeling of belonging.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hospitality Insights01:20 Rethinking Loyalty Programs04:43 Building Emotional Connections with CustomersIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3In the final episode of our Financial Ethics series, we're tackling a message that promises health and wealth—but often leads to heartache: the prosperity gospel. Dr. David W. Jones joins us to unpack its dangers and point us back to a truly biblical view of blessing and provision.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the co-author of Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge.Faith Is Not a TransactionOne of the most dangerous ideas in the prosperity gospel is that faith guarantees financial prosperity. It treats faith like a force—a tool believers can wield to compel God's blessings.But biblical faith isn't self-generated or transactional. It is a gift from God, a response to His revealed grace, and a means by which we trust Him, not a lever to gain wealth. Faith is “the eyesight of the soul”—deeply rational and rooted in the truth of who God is, not in wishful thinking or material expectations.Prosperity theology often preaches a “faith formula”: believe hard enough, and you'll be rewarded. But this distorts faith into a mechanism for personal gain. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It's not irrational optimism—it's a reasoned trust in the unseen promises of God.We should view faith not as a way to escape hardship or secure abundance but as a path of trusting God in all things, including suffering.The Problem with Escaping SufferingOne hallmark of the prosperity gospel is its aversion to suffering. But as Jones points out, suffering is part of living in a fallen world—and it's not something Scripture tells us to avoid at all costs. In fact, passages like 1 Peter 4:12 and 2 Timothy 3:12 remind us that suffering is to be expected for faithful followers of Christ.Rather than hinder our faith, suffering refines it. Suffering is the crucible of character. It's often through trials that we grow closest to Christ and are shaped into His likeness.God's Provision Comes Through WorkAnother distortion in prosperity teaching is the expectation of windfalls—blessings that come without effort. But God's design for provision is through work. From the beginning, humans were created to labor and create, reflecting the image of God.Working, creating, and flourishing through effort honors our design and brings fulfillment. Attempts to bypass God's design through get-rich-quick schemes ultimately violate our dignity and God's intended path for flourishing.Prosperity preachers often misuse Scripture to back their claims. One example is 2 Corinthians 8:9: “That though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”Taken out of context, it may sound like a promise of material wealth. But in its context, Paul is referring to our spiritual poverty and Christ's sacrifice to make us spiritually rich—context matters. Misreading Scripture to fit a materialistic theology distorts the gospel's central message.Giving as Grace, Not GreedProsperity theology often frames giving as a transaction: sow a seed to receive a harvest. But biblical generosity isn't about personal return—it's about grace.True giving flows from love for God and neighbor. We give not to get, but because we've already received so much. Our stewardship reflects our gratitude, not our greed. The heart of biblical giving is a response to God's grace, not a strategy for personal gain.Make your life about Christ, not your increase, not your own prosperity, but about flourishing in the image of His Son.That's the true antidote to the prosperity gospel. We aren't promised wealth, ease, or success. But we are promised Christ—and in Him, we find every blessing that matters.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 64 and planning to retire within the next year. I have approximately $10,000 that I won't need for income, and I'm seeking guidance on how to invest it wisely. I'm especially interested in options that align with biblical values and reflect my faith in the companies I support.My wife and I are approaching retirement. We're financially secure, and our home is fully paid off. One concern I have is not having long-term care insurance. I'm considering either a reverse mortgage or a home equity loan to cover potential long-term care expenses, but I'd like to understand the pros and cons of each option before moving forward.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. David W.

Followers of Jesus should be the BEST LEADERS on the planet.Jesus is the GREATEST LEADERSHIP MODEL of all time.Leadership is INFLUENCEIf leadership is influence, then no one has influenced our world more thanJESUS.The HEART of a LEADER.Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows fromit.WHATHOWWHY1. RESPONSIBILITY Based leadership-you feel responsible to SERVEand CARE for the people you lead.2. REWARDS based leadership-you want to be rewarded by the PERKSand POWER of leading.When you BEND down to SERVE, God will LIFT you up to LEAD.Matthew 20:20-27 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sonsand, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. “What is it you want?” he asked. Shesaid, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the otherat your left in your kingdom.” “You don't know what you are asking,” Jesus saidto them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered.Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right orleft is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have beenprepared by my Father.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant withthe two brothers. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers ofthe Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority overthem. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you mustbe your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—SERVANT-focused on doing things for others rather than for oneself.SLAVE-someone bound to obey their master's commands and teaching.If you lead for ANY reason other than to SERVE OTHERS, you will never bea GREAT LEADER.It is impossible to LEAD like Jesus if you won't SERVE like Jesus.Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, andto give his life as a ransom for many.”Servant Leader vs Reward Centered Leader1. Servant leaders are always trying to make OTHER PEOPLE look good.Reward centered leaders don't want OTHERS to look good, onlyTHEMSELVES.2. Servant Leaders find their approval in one place: GOD.Reward centered leaders believe:My PERFORMANCE + the APPROVAL of others = SELF-WORTH3. Servant leaders LOVE hard or negative feedback because it allows them toIMPROVE for the benefit of others.Reward centered leaders DESPISE hard or negative feedback because it is allABOUT THEM.So what keeps us from being a servant leader?- PRIDE- FEARProverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts inthe Lord is kept safe.When you BEND DOWN to serve, God can LIFT YOU UP to LEAD.

Twitter Space 5 July 2025This episode examines the manipulation of beliefs through propaganda, prompted by Joshua Vasquez's question on recognizing its influence. I discuss how propaganda relies on reward and punishment rather than reason and reflect on the struggles of young men, urging resilience and awareness in personal relationships.We address the societal impacts of propaganda, noting how it silences dissent and fosters anger towards challengers. I advocate for homeschooling to escape toxic educational systems and emphasize the importance of agency in personal choices.Engaging with callers, we explore integrity and the need to uphold non-aggression principles while confronting harmful ideologies.
