The hardest part of investing isn't choosing funds — it's building a set of beliefs strong enough to keep you disciplined when the market, the news, and your own emotions all conspire to pull you off course.In this episode, Paul sets aside the usual fine-tuning tables and turns to one of his favorite books, Ben Carlson's Risk and Reward. Table by table, Ben makes the same point in a dozen different ways: the bad stuff is normal, it's happened before, and it will happen again. The goal isn't to avoid it — it's to expect it, so you can stay the course.Along the way, Paul walks through:• The 10 worst days, months, and years in market history — and how the market behaved 1, 5, and 10 years later• Why bonds turn a 43% stock loss into something far gentler, and why a simple 60/40 has never had a losing 20-year period• How stocks actually perform before, during, and after a recession (the average is a gain)• The "dead cat bounces" of 2000–2002 and why three years of false hope wear investors down• What a century of international returns says about putting all your eggs in one basket• The most quietly important number in investing: the market's average daily return of 0.03% — a lifetime of baby stepsThe theme underneath it all: future returns will likely look a lot like the past. We simply have no way to know the sequence — and that's exactly why realistic expectations, low costs, and broad diversification matter more than any forecast.The biggest enemy of the investor, as the data keeps showing, isn't the market. It's the investor.BRINGING FINANCIAL FREEDOM TO NEW AUDIENCESLast week I spent more than three hours with 89 graduating nurses at Texas A&M University, exploring one life-changing idea: how a handful of smart financial decisions can add millions of dollars to your lifetime financial security.

Everyone talks about scaling. Far fewer people actually do it. In this conversation with Doug Levy, we unpack what real operational scale looks like. Not adding people because revenue is growing, but building a business where productivity outpaces payroll. We also get into why founders become the bottleneck, why poor hiring quietly destroys EBITDA long before anyone notices, and why disciplined systems create freedom instead of bureaucracy. In this episode Here's what I'd take away from this conversation. Stop delegating tasks and start delegating problems. Build systems that allow good people to operate without your constant intervention. Scale revenue through operational discipline before adding headcount. Hire with discipline because poor hiring quietly destroys profit long before it shows up in the numbers. Reward the behaviours you actually want repeated across the business. Episode highlights 01:30 The biggest operational lie founders tell themselves. 03:18 Why delegating problems beats delegating tasks. 07:45 What real scaling actually looks like and why hiring more people isn't the answer. 10:48 The leadership challenge of turning generalists into specialists. 15:10 Why poor hiring quietly destroys EBITDA years before leaders notice. 20:20 The hardest leadership lesson is usually found in the mirror. 24:08 The leadership principle every organisation eventually reflects.

A few weeks ago, I walked out of my office the day before the Fourth of July weekend and told my team to shut it down at four o'clock. And I felt guilty about it. Guilty. For leaving early on a holiday weekend after one of the most stressful stretches I've had in years. That guilt is exactly what this episode is about. So many high-achieving women — women who are building businesses, raising families, managing teams, holding everything together — have been conditioned to believe that rest is something you earn. That you get to stop after you've done enough. But that's not how recovery works. And it's not how sustainable success works either. In this episode, I'm getting honest about my own complicated relationship with rest, why I think the permission problem is at the root of burnout for most high-achieving women, and the practical steps I've been taking to actually recover — not just pause between sprints. Rest is not a reward. It is a strategy. And it might be the most important and most underused tool you have. In this episode: • Why high-achieving women are so bad at giving themselves permission to rest — and the identity piece underneath it • What real, restorative rest actually looks like (it's not just sleep) • Why a weekend is not sufficient recovery for months of sustained high effort • The permission problem: why we're physically present in rest but mentally still in the grind • Three practical tools to start recovering intentionally — without a week off or a spa retreatCheck out the supplements and workouts that keep me on track through every season here: https://linktr.ee/lauracatina

Imagine a dark warehouse. Racks and racks of devices with wires, tubes, and electronics sticking out. The next AI data center? No. This is Lila Sciences‘ dream for the future of science. A dark warehouse full of AI-guided robotics and lab equipment, cranking out new experiments 24/7, building toward a scientific superintelligence.Their automated lab is almost hypnotizing to watch. They have floating plates zipping around on Wall-E-esque tracks, used vision-language models to control Windows 95 boxes, and created the world's largest collection of voided warranties. In the process they've built a massive library of scientific reasoning tokens. Over 10 trillion of them, all experimentally validated.No warranties were voided in the making of this videoTo say Lila is ambitious is an understatement. Their goal is a scientific superintelligence wired directly into the wet lab. They are all in on the bitter lesson, and the thesis follows from it: a lab is an infinite token generator. Produce data at scale, and the synergies give you a general reasoner that can tackle any scientific problem. They are committing hard. Biology, chemistry, drug discovery, and materials science, all at the same time. Time will tell if it works, but it is an exciting hypothesis.In our latest episode we sat down with Lila's very own Andy Beam (CTO) and Rafa Gómez-Bombarelli (CSO, physical sciences) and went on a journey through the possibilities of AI-run science, almost as wide-ranging as Lila's goals.Did we mention they do both materials science and biology? In the same AI science factory? Same time, same lab, same AI. Finally a guest who can settle a long-running debate we've had amongst ourselves: is biology or materials science harder?Watch to find out!We discuss:* The internet is spent, science is next. Why Lila thinks the scientific method is the last untapped internet-scale dataset, and why they treat RL as a data generation mechanism with nature as the verifier.* The lab as a data center. Instruments as nodes on a graph, a magnetically levitating “PCI bus” transport layer between them, orchestration as a slurm queue. Andy is not short on analogies.* Why Lila insists it is not an automation company. They optimize for flexibility and generalizability over raw throughput, which means humans stay below the API line wherever automating does not pay.* Your experiment has a runtime. We put Escalante Bio's question to Andy: if science is the token generator, what is the runtime of your data collection? His answer, in short, is that you cannot make the ribosome go faster. Why Lila bets on fast round-over-round iteration rather than big noisy multiplexed screens, and how Rafa's team rebuilt a gas sorption measurement to run roughly 2,500x faster.* What is actually in 10 trillion scientific tokens. Not sequences. Experimentally verified reasoning traces, a kind of data that Andy argues exists on the internet in quantities that round to zero.* Breadth as a path to depth. Small molecule chemistry priors transferring to metal organic frameworks for carbon capture, and the claim that the general model beats domain-specific models sample for sample.* If you have the data, what do you need the model for? Sri Kosuri's koan about the ML-for-drug-discovery business model, and Andy's answer: the coding model got better because it also read Shakespeare and carnitas recipes.* The serendipity they want to automate. Emily Whitehead survived the first pediatric CAR-T cure only because the doctor treating her happened to know, from pediatric arthritis, which antibody would blunt her IL-6 response. Roll that dice again and you probably lose her. Breadth is how you stop depending on luck.* Move 37 for catalysts. Model suggestions for platinum-group-free electrocatalysts that went from boring, to what a 40-paper expert called stupid, to the best performers they have made.* Six months to in vivo CAR-T data in non-human primates, and the zero-FTE virtual startup commercial model that fell out of it. For context on why that number is startling, AbbVie paid $2.1B for Capstan on the strength of preclinical in vivo CAR-T data.* You cannot have scientific superintelligence if you are just a good test taker. Ken Stanley, who wrote Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, runs open-endedness at Lila. RL at scale gives you a ruthlessly Vulcan problem solver. Machine creativity is a different thing, and it is the part nobody has solved.* The chain of thought is an unreliable narrator. The model reasons in latent space and only emits tokens. Sometimes it skips the experiment entirely and is still right. So how much do you trust the reasoning versus the verifier?* Reward hacking when the rollout is physical. Chains of thought that collapse into repetition, and a model that got annoyed and swore at the scientist who kept asking it to redo a plate map. What happens when a pathological loop has a wet lab inside it?* The bittersweet lesson. Rafa's inversion of the bitter lesson: in AI, scaling is a roadmap. In materials, scaling is a filter, because only the things that scale end up mattering.* Not your typical Flagship company. Why a famously single-asset biotech incubator spun out a platform bet, and Andy's line that if Lila called itself a biopharma it would have a top-three GPU cluster.* Bottlenecks they would remove by fiat. Sim-to-real for physics-based simulation, and the fact that RL training runs at roughly 5% mean FLOP utilization.Watch on YouTube: This is a public episode.

The Journey Is the Reward Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders launching and running a startup will experience highs and lows throughout the life of the startup. Some will find the experience exhilarating while others will find it debilitating. The difference between the two extremes comes down to the founders' expectations relative to the reality of the startup world. The startup world can be brutal. The best-laid plans can go awry from black swan events. There are many exogenous factors that impact the outcome of the startup. Those who find it exhilarating expected the challenges that would come up. Those who find it debilitating most likely expected few, if any, challenges and only success. In the end, value the startup for the experience it provides and what it reveals about yourself. To navigate the startup experience, expect the worst from the market and bring the best of yourself to it. The relationships you make along the way and the knowledge acquired will stay with you for a lifetime. The journey is the reward. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Hebrews 11:23-28 ESV By Faith 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

What if the biggest risk in your portfolio isn't a crash, a recession, or even inflation, but the very human urge to believe that whatever just worked will work forever? Bill and Jackie sit down with Ben Carlson of A Wealth of Common Sense and Animal Spirits for a market-history masterclass that somehow manages to be equal parts calming, nerdy, and deeply practical. This one is for anyone who's ever stared at their portfolio, read one scary headline too many, and wondered whether simplicity still works. Ben's answer is basically yes—but only if you understand the risks, respect your own behavior, and build a portfolio you can actually stick with. This episode covers: Ben Carlson's "Bob" thought experiment and why even terrible market timing can still work out over the long run Why dollar cost averaging often beats waiting for the perfect entry point The psychology of lump-sum investing versus spreading money out over time What inflation looked like before World War II versus in the modern era How to think about inflation through a personal-finance lens, not just an investing lens Why housing, transportation, income growth, and stocks are major inflation defenses What Japan's lost decades teach us about home-country bias and international diversification Why diversification matters even more in retirement because of sequence-of-returns risk How to think about bonds, cash, duration, and risk tolerance in a more nuanced way . === SUPPORT THE SHOW ===

Hosea 10:12, 13; 11:1-4; 13:4, 7-9; 14:1-4, 9
Psalm 91: A Truth Satan Fears Psalm 91: He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God. In Him I will trust. Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler — that means the secret traps that you don't see coming your way — and from the perilous pestilence. In the original translation, the way that reads is: from the perversion that comes into a society when the restraining hand of God is lifted off of it. He will deliver you from secret traps and from the perversions that are going to be prevalent in this and other societies in the last days. He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you shall take refuge. His truth will be your shield and your buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day. Whether there are acts of terrorism in various countries throughout the world, or threats even of nuclear war, the Bible says you will not be afraid. There will be a confidence that God puts in your heart that is born of the Spirit of God. It is born of a trust in the keeping power of God. No matter what happens, no matter what difficulty comes our way, you will not be afraid. Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. Because He has set His love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. This psalm — Psalm 91 — contains a truth about God that Satan himself fears. He fears that if it's believed, it would instill a barrier of promise in the hearts of those who believe in it that no power of hell can get through and breach. That's why he is afraid of Psalm 91. How Satan Used Psalm 91 to Tempt Jesus It was this psalm that Satan quoted when he tempted Jesus in the wilderness in Matthew 4. Actually, in the temptation of Christ — after he was baptized in the Jordan and went into the wilderness, led of the Spirit to be tempted by Satan — this was the only scripture that Satan did not fully quote. He quoted a part of it, but not the whole scripture. He came to the Son of God. Now, he knew who he was fighting with. He was contesting with the Son of God. I don't know how he knew it, but Satan knew who Jesus Christ was, and he had a sense of what his mission was on the earth. The first temptation he brought to him was essentially this: If you are the Son of God, command these stones to be made bread. In other words, if you are the Son of God, why are you not being fed? Why are you hungry? If you are the Son of God, there must be a resident power within you — use it for yourself, use it for your own benefit. Turn these stones to bread. Of course, that's what the devil did — that's why he fell from heaven. He was not content with the ways, the will, and the word of God. He wanted something higher than he was assigned by God. He was tempting Christ to change his situation by his own power and his own influence. Then he took him to the holy city, set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said again: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, He will give His angels charge over you, and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. Here's the more insidious temptation as I see this. In effect, what I think the devil was saying — and this is my opinion, my conjecture — he was basically saying: I'm going to throw you down. And what makes you think that when your feet hit the stone that somehow there are going to be angels there to help you? What makes you think that God will preserve you? What makes you think that God will protect you? What makes you think that God will raise you up? What makes you think he will send angels to be part of the process of bringing you to the conclusion of what your life is supposed to be? If you do believe this, throw yourself down. But I want to remind you — that is not the whole scripture. He left a line out. Psalm 91 says: He will give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. It didn't say it's just for one specific event. God is going to assign angels to you to keep you in all of the journey of your life — the good times, the bad times, the easy times, the hard times, the times you understand, the times you don't, the times when it looks prosperous and the times when it looks hopeless. God is not going to fail you. God is going to keep you. And there will be a heavenly presence to assist you this whole time, lest you should be overthrown or overcome by the temptations or the testings that are all around you. And lastly, seeing he could not turn Jesus from the truth of the word of God, he said to him: All the kingdoms of the world and all their glory belong to me. If you will fall down and worship me, you don't have to go to the cross. Basically, that's what he was saying. Then you don't have to die. You can have it all if you'll just bow down and worship me. And Jesus said, Away with you, Satan. It is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. Matthew 4:11 says: Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him. Praise be to God. That's exactly what the scripture says. He will give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. What Satan Fears We Will Discover Now, what was the devil so afraid of in Psalm 91 — that if you and I laid hold of it, his power over us would be broken? His power causes us to think that somehow God won't provide for us in the midst of our hunger or our hardship or whatever it is that you and I have to face in the days ahead. The promise of God is that we will have provision. Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. First of all, he was afraid that we would find this hidden place of God where our confidence in his keeping power can no longer be broken. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High — Psalm 91:1 — shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. And I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God. In him I will trust. I will trust on the good days. I will trust on the bad days. I will trust when I hit the notes in the song. I will trust when my voice cracks and I can't hit them. I will trust when there's money in the bank, and I will trust when I have to trust God to pay my bills. I will trust in God. This has to be our prayer in this generation: God, take me to this place. Take me to this place of trust in you. Oh, Jesus Christ, Son of God, don't let me trust in my own reasonings, my own resources, my own thinking, my own abilities, my own strength. God Almighty, give me the ability to trust in your word — that the things you say to me are true. They cannot be contravened. They cannot be thrown away. God Almighty, you cannot be tested. Satan said to Jesus, throw yourself...

In this week's Sermon Extra, Pastors Nick and Michael discuss what the Bible teaches about heavenly rewards. If salvation is entirely by grace through faith, why does Scripture also speak of being judged according to our works? Do rewards in heaven undermine the gospel of grace, or do they reveal something important about God's purposes for His people?

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges and Pastor Lee Domingue kick off a new ministry season by unpacking the six essential pillars of church health that every pastor and leadership team should focus on. Fresh off a season of rest and preparation, Pastor Chris shares a practical roadmap that distills decades of ministry experience into six foundational areas that consistently produce healthy churches. Whether you're planting a church, leading a staff, or preparing for your next season of growth, this conversation provides actionable wisdom you can begin implementing immediately. No matter the size or season of your church, these six principles provide a practical framework for building a ministry that is healthy, sustainable, and positioned for lasting kingdom impact. Episode Resources: PC's Notes on a High Touch Environment: 1. Love and accept yourself. 2. Express your love openly. Stand at the door and shake hands. Say things like, "I wish everyone could have the privilege of pastoring you." 3. Put energy into being likeable. 4. Be the first to apologize. 5. Let other people save face. Let them off the hook. 6. Smile a lot. 7. Make all the friends you can. 8. Be transparent and authentic. 9. Lead by example. 10. Be predictable and consistent. 11. Never show your anger in public. 12. Think people not events. 13. Practice the 30/30 principle (the most important part of a service is the 30 minutes before and after the service – spend time with people). 14. Walk slowly through the crowd. 15. Always be a friend to the little man. The popular come and go. Put the little man on the front row. 16. Return all emails and phone calls within 24 hours. 17. Write notes. 18. Reward faithfulness openly. Take time to do it. 19. Laugh more. Make everything fun. 20. Don't miss significant events (births, weddings, funerals, anniversaries, graduations, achievements, etc.) They only come around once. 21. Heal the hurt when someone is wounded. 22. Give others credit and accept none. 23. Connect people with other people. 24. Remember names. 25. Focus on their interests. Ask questions. 26. Let them know you need them. 27. Value people. If you don't value them, you will manipulate them. Manipulation is moving them for your advantage. See them as a person to be loved. 28. Follow the 101% Principle. Find the 1% that you agree on and give it 100% of your effort. Find common ground. Don't focus on differences. 29. Follow the Golden Rule. In every situation, treat people the way you want to be treated. 30.

So many people are living their lives as if worthiness is something they'll receive once they finally get it together. Once they lose the weight. Once they fix the relationship. Once they hit the goal. Once they become the person they think they're supposed to be. In today's episode, Celeste dismantles the idea that worthiness is something you arrive at after enough effort — and makes the case that worthiness was never a destination in the first place. If you've been putting your life on hold until you're finally good enough, this one is going to challenge everything you've been waiting for. Today's shift: Identify one thing you've been withholding from yourself until you feel worthy enough — and give it to yourself today anyway.

Senior executives are leaving companies at a pace we haven't seen in years, and toxic workplace environments are only part of the story. In this episode, Sean Barnes breaks down the five things every senior leader must understand about the people on their team to attract and retain the best talent: identity, opportunity, purpose, inclusion, and reward. Sean explains why blocking executives from building their personal brand pushes them out the door, how to create growth opportunities when promotions run dry at the top, and why helping leaders find purpose keeps them engaged for the long haul. He also covers the delicate balance of including domain-focused executives in bigger conversations and how reward priorities shift as people move through different seasons of life. If you lead a leadership team, this episode is your playbook for understanding what each person actually needs and building an unstoppable team. Key Moments 00:00 - The turning of the guard: why senior executives are shuffling 00:27 - The five things: identity, opportunity, purpose, inclusion, and reward 00:55 - Identity: why letting executives build a personal brand keeps them loyal 01:54 - Opportunity: stretching leaders with new domains when promotions run out 02:23 - Purpose: helping leaders find a vision worth chasing 03:17 - Inclusion: pulling domain experts into bigger conversations 04:28 - Reward: understanding what matters in each season of life 06:17 - Why priorities shift as people move through life 07:12 - Welcome to leadership: pouring into each person to build an unstoppable team Key Takeaways Personal brands are retention tools, not threats. When an executive's identity aligns with your company's mission, letting them build it keeps them around. Promotions dry up at the top, so growth has to come from stretch. Give senior leaders big initiatives outside their comfort zone to keep them challenged and engaged. What motivates people shifts with their season of life. Great leaders learn what each team member needs right now, whether that's compensation, flexibility, or purpose, and deliver it.

Many of us are in the habit of resisting things we can't change, and it creates a lot of unhappiness and havoc in our lives. Byron Katie wrote a book entitled, 'Loving What is', and it presents the concept that when we stop resisting reality, we will find so much more peace in our lives. When we learn to focus on our response and choose to behave in ways that are in alignment with our values, we find much more satisfaction, contentment, happiness, and peace. Learning to love what is, rather than resisting and fighting against it, creates a solid space for growth. Thanks for listening! Want to learn more about this concept?
