Podcasts about right choice

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 103:12 – Jesus Removed Your Sin.  Hebrews 13:5 - God Will Never Leave or Forsake You. Isaiah 12:2 – I Will Trust God and Not be Afraid. 2 Corinthians 9:8 - God Pours His Grace on Me. Psalm 25:12 - God Shows Me the Right Choice.

Today's Promise: Psalm 25:12 Sometimes, life's choices are not always easy. Choices are not always black and white. Sometimes, you have to choose between good and good. To fear the Lord is recognizing Him for who He is and showing Him the reverence and respect, He is due. Fearing the Lord is not cowering before him but understanding that He is the Lord God who holds eternity in His hands. Next time you face a decision, submit your life to the Lord (fear the Lord) and ask Him for wisdom and guidance.

What does it mean to be a good parent?If part of your job is to provide stability, then it can seem like even if your love relationship isn't fulfilling, it's best to grit your teeth and get through it -- at least until the kids are out of the house.The truth is a lot more nuanced.Consider the following, for example:What are you role-modeling to your children if you stay in a relationship that's physically or emotionally barren? What are they learning from you and your partner about conflict and repair? About boundaries? About warmth and affection?Would you want them to someday be in the relationship you're in?One confusing constellation of this can be when you're great co-parents with your wife/partner, but, say, your sex life is dead. In other words you manage the household well together, but there's no passion. Another is when you have a difficult spouse/partner and feel concerned that if you're not around to protect the kids from her, issues will arise.Here we delve into unhealthy (and healthy) relationship dynamics, whether "making it work" is a real thing, and what you impart to your kids daily, without saying a word.Growing almost always requires discomfort, but here's the good news: When you choose to lean into growth, you're teaching your children the bravest lesson of all.Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

James “Kodi” Kodrowski (Alabama-Huntsville '01) is an entrepreneur, and at 45, plays professional hockey for the Singapore National Team. After starting in the oil and gas industry, Kodi built a life in Singapore, where he now runs a financial services firm. He was vital in the formation of the team in Singapore and is the current president of the Singapore Ice Hockey Association (SIHA). Kodi is also representing Singapore in the 2025 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship happening in Querétaro, Mexico, from April 27 – May 3, 2025. He joined The ATO Show from the ice rink for his interview. Kodi grew up in New Jersey and started playing hockey on a frozen pond behind his house with cousins and friends. He played junior A hockey in Montana before walking on to the Division I team at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, where he studied engineering. Though Kodi didn't arrive at college with any knowledge of fraternities, he found himself drawn to the people in ATO. They were academically serious, involved in community outreach, and committed to athletics—qualities that aligned with Kodi's values. He attended leadership conferences and met fellow members. After graduation, Kodi accepted a role with an international oil company because of one pitch: “We'll pay to fly you around the world.” Eventually, he settled in Singapore after meeting his now-wife. There, he transitioned out of the oil industry and into entrepreneurship, starting in restaurants (a nod to his mother's dream of owning one), and later building a financial services company, Right Choice Capital Group.Today, Right Choice operates in Singapore and the Philippines, providing business loans to small and mid-sized enterprises. The company has grown into a group with a technology arm and a stake in a small bank. Kodi is also deeply engaged in advocacy work through his businesses, promoting financial literacy, healthy lifestyles, and support for underprivileged families.Kodi was instrumental in forming the Singapore National Hockey team. He began by playing casually in Singapore and volunteering to help run the local hockey association. Eventually, he took an active role in helping the association gain local recognition from Singapore's sports authority. After local recognition, Kodi led the process of applying for and securing membership with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). This membership was necessary for Singapore to compete in international tournaments and officially field national teams. Once recognition was in place, Kodi helped create the men's national team. He coached the team for the first few years, and in 2016, when he was granted citizenship in Singapore, he was invited to return to the team as a player. He had to lose 20 pounds to keep up with his teammates who are half his age.

The age-old question of modular versus stick-built construction reveals surprising truths in today's housing market. General contractor Donnie Blanchard brings 20 years of expertise to this deep dive, shattering common misconceptions about both building methods.Most striking is how the traditional cost advantage of modular homes has virtually disappeared. "The modular home cost is pretty much neck and neck with us," Donnie reveals, noting that on recent quotes, the difference was merely $20,000 – and that's before adding customization options that quickly escalate modular pricing.Beyond dollars and cents, the fundamental differences become clear. Stick-built construction offers unmatched flexibility, allowing homeowners to make changes throughout the building process as they see their space taking shape. Donnie shares how this hands-on approach incorporates local labor and creates truly personalized homes where walls can be moved and features adjusted even during framing stages.Modular construction maintains its speed advantage, typically completing in 3-5 months versus 7-12 months for custom homes. However, this comes with significant trade-offs. Many buyers don't realize they'll need to handle their own foundation work, driveway installation, and utility connections – essentially becoming their own contractors for critical aspects of the project.Quality perceptions get challenged when Donnie shares a personal experience working on a family member's modular home. Despite claims of precision manufacturing, he found walls out of square and design flaws like dormer windows positioned too close to roof lines, creating snow and water intrusion issues. "Every wall was out of square. I had to do so much framing, shimming, trimming... it was not at all what I expected."Whether you're planning your forever home or considering resale value, this episode provides the insider knowledge needed to make an informed decision about which construction method truly aligns with your priorities, timeline, and vision for your dream home.

Today we're tackling a topic that's kept too many women trapped in painful marriages: divorce. If you've ever been told "God hates divorce" or made to feel like leaving your abusive husband is somehow worse than what he's doing to you, this episode is specifically for you.We'll dig into some fascinating research by Dr. Valerie Hobbs on how conservative Christian sermons frame divorce - and let me tell you, what's being preached often doesn't match reality. Here's what you'll discover in this episode:The surprising biblical truth about divorce, including the fact that God Himself got a divorce (Jeremiah 3:8) and what this means for women in harmful marriagesHow common Bible verses about divorce are routinely misinterpreted and weaponized against women seeking safety and freedomThe shocking difference between why women initiate divorce (abuse, infidelity, and substance abuse) versus men's reasons (falling out of love, different lifestyles)How the ancient marriage certificate (ketubah) actually protected women's rights and gave them grounds for divorce - completely changing how we should understand Jesus' teachingsThis isn't just theological debate - this is about real women making heart-wrenching decisions every day. I've walked this path myself, and I know the spiritual anguish of believing God wants you to stay in a destructive marriage.If you're questioning what you've been taught about divorce, experiencing emotional or spiritual abuse, or supporting someone who is, please listen to this episode. You'll discover that God cares about your emotional and spiritual safety and wellbeing, and that leaving an abusive marriage just might be the most faithful thing you can do.Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources: Dr. Valerie Hobbs' groundbreaking study that I used for this episode, "The Discourse of Divorce in Conservative Christian Sermons."Some related Flying Free Podcast episodes you may be interested in: “God Doesn't Hate ALL Divorce,” “How Do I Know if Divorce Is the Right Choice for Me?” and “How To Tell Your Kids You're Getting Divorced.” 

As a people, we very much make choices on things by their outward appearance. But if we are to truly follow God with our lives, then we must learn to see things from His perspective.

Introduction: host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings' decision Thursday to take Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson No. 24 overall. They seemed to have other options to trade down and add depth, but they chose a player that fit a need. Was that the right move? Did they play it too safe? The Wild, meanwhile, left no doubt.

Can they finish the job? 11:00: Chris Hine joins Rand to talk about another big Game 3, with the Wolves hosting the Lakers on Friday night. Can the Wolves bring "that third kind of heat?" 32:00: A big series for the Twins.

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko react to the team's selection of DT Derrick Harmon at No. 21 overall in the NFL draft. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make the right call in going with Harmon over QBs like Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart or RBs like Omarion Hampton, who ended up being available late in the first round? Will they regret missing out on other DT prospects like Walter Nolen and Kenneth Grant, who went earlier in the first round? And how does Harmon fit on the defensive line alongside names like Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton? Our duo tackles those questions, then looks ahead to Day 2, on which the Steelers hold the 83rd overall pick in the third round. Will they chase a QB like Sanders, Jalen Milroe, Tyler Shough, Will Howard or Kyle McCord? Will they look to add from this deep running back class that includes names like TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson and Kaleb Johnson? Or will they look at names at other positions including Alfred Collins on the defensive line or Azareye'h Thomas at cornerback? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

The MCU is once again in the spotlight as major Avengers: The Kang Dynasty leaks have surfaced online—and we're diving into everything we've learned. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the original plan for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, its evolution into Avengers: Doomsday, and what it all means for Marvel Phase 5, Secret Wars, and the future of the Multiverse Saga. Marvel Studios seems to have scrapped Kang as the main villain in favor of Doctor Doom—and for good reason. After Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania flopped and Jonathan Majors' legal issues became a major concern, insiders say the studio lost faith in the Council of Kangs storyline. Now, with Stephen McFeely rewriting both Avengers 5 and Secret Wars, and the Russo Brothers returning to direct, the entire direction has shifted. We're breaking down the leaked Kang Dynasty script that includes wild reveals like a Moon Knight team-up, Miles Morales' MCU debut, a Deadpool 3 crossover, and even a Spider-Man: No Way Home reunion. Plus, what role was Doctor Doom supposed to play before becoming the central threat in Avengers: Doomsday? And how does this affect the lead-in to Avengers: Secret Wars? Other stories covered: Captain America: Brave New World nears $200M at the domestic box office. A Working Man dominates Snow White in a surprise upset. Warner Bros. shakeups and early talks of new leadership. First reactions for The Minecraft Movie are in—and they're surprisingly mixed but intriguing. AND — in a massive shift — Warner Bros. has completed the worldwide sale of Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup Entertainment. Yes, the previously shelved, fan-beloved Looney Tunes film is back! The Wile E. Coyote movie—starring Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor, directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch—was shelved for tax reasons despite strong test screenings. But now it's getting a theatrical release in 2026, with Ketchup shelling out close to $50 million for the rights. Produced by James Gunn, this film has become symbolic of Hollywood's internal battles between artistry and cost-cutting. Marvel. DC. Box office drama. Studio shakeups. Leaks. Come for the nerd news—stay for the chaos.

In this episode, Todd Dexheimer dives into the debate of A & B class properties vs. C & D class properties and why chasing the highest cash flow isn't always the smartest strategy. While lower-class properties may offer bigger returns on paper, they often come with higher risks, management challenges, and long-term stability concerns. Todd breaks down what investors should really focus on when acquiring properties, how to balance cash flow vs. asset appreciation, and the importance of building a sustainable, wealth-generating portfolio. Welcome to Pillars of Wealth Creation, where we talk about building financial freedom with a special focus on business and Real Estate.

They get into what constitutes a good verses a bad pay plan and how professionals in the industry can effectively navigate them for maximum benefit.  "I rather see someone in an environment where they have the opportunity, the respect, and are working in a setup that aligns with their financial goals." – Sean V. Bradley Both LA and Sean emphasize the importance of understanding dealership environments rather than just focusing on the pay plan itself as the path to financial success!

That's the whole purpose of money." – LA Williams The discussion provides a deep dive into various components of dealership pay plans, including commissions, draws, low commission rates, packs, front-end and back-end grosses, spins, spiffs, and bonuses.

The significance of starting with guaranteed pay structures for new salespeople can prevent attrition and financial hardship, ensuring a fairer and more supportive work environment. Spiffs and spins represent lucrative supplemental income opportunities that can boost earnings when appropriately targeted and leveraged. The world of car sales is complex, with compensation plans that require more than just a basic understanding to truly maximize one's earnings potential. In a recent discussion featuring LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley, these intricacies were explored in-depth, unveiling crucial insights into how auto sales professionals can decode their pay plans and work their strategies effectively to bolster their earnings. Key themes emerged from this discussion that shed light on not only understanding but also maneuvering through pay plans to realize better financial outcomes.   Demystifying Automotive Pay Plans For the newcomer or even seasoned veteran in car sales, a pay plan is often shrouded in mystery. Sean V. Bradley argues that, "It's not about the pay plan… but the dealership that you're at." This sets the tone for understanding that environment and opportunity sometimes outweigh a perfect commission structure. When contemplating a position, one should probe beyond superficial numbers and consider the dealership's overall ethos and opportunity for personal growth. Bradley emphasizes not settling for flat fee structures in favor of opportunities to earn on gross, either on the front or back-end. "If you've got the skills to pay the bills," leveraging a dealership that allows for gross-based commissions can be increasingly rewarding. However, accessing back-end gross (percentages of financial products sold) requires understanding and capitalizing on additional compensation streams like aftermarket parts and warranty products. As he explains, "Don't get distracted with the carrot… Find the best deal for you." This journey begins with choosing the right kind of dealership—one where strategies align with incentive structures to work your pay plan comprehensively. The roadmap includes understanding potential spins and spiffs and looking beyond immediate numbers.   The Importance of Guaranteed Income for New Salespeople Transition periods for new salespeople can be turbulent without a guaranteed pay structure. Such structures allow for "proper training, strategy, and opportunity" before plunging into a commission-only environment—a space where new hires often find themselves underwater without training pay. Understanding the nuance between a draw and guaranteed pay can ward off future stress. At some dealerships, "you could owe the dealership money," creating the undesirable cycle of jumping from dealership to dealership. Establishing a knowledge base and advocating for fairer, initial compensation ensures not only individual success but sustainability for dealerships in reducing turnover. Williams expounds on this notion by suggesting questions candidates should explore during interviews. Questions encompassing what the guarantee entails and policies regarding training pay ensure new hires are not disadvantaged in unfamiliar territory. Emphasizing, "I want to educate myself on how to work and understand you; help me understand so I can work my own plan, which in turn serves the dealership," provides a roadmap to this common challenge.   Leveraging Spiffs and Spins for Additional Profit Supplementing income intelligently through spiffs and spins is a game-changing opportunity for profit maximization. Traditionally, spiffs act as quick incentives for additional tasks or goals inside a dealership, often embracing creative configurations beyond merely selling units. Spins, a domain exclusive to franchise dealerships, offer an entirely separate avenue through manufacturer-backed commissions—encouraging variety and volume in sales pushes. Bradley notes, "I used to make thousands and thousands of dollars extra. It's like supplemental income." Savvy salespeople learn to utilize CRM tools to drill down into customer databases and strategically target high-spin vehicles or special categories yielding these fruits. The key is knowledge-sharing and staff empowerment, ensuring a clear understanding of potential earnings. Dealerships, in turn, fortify their workforce by building trust, offering consistent information flows, and aligning staff incentives with dealership goals—ultimately creating a culture that thrives on success. Through an intrinsic understanding of pay plan workings, including guarantees, spiffs, spins, dealer strategies, and personal goals, sales professionals navigate toward success. In the ever-evolving automotive landscape, this knowledge not only benefits individuals but ultimately propels dealerships into prosperous, symbiotic relationships with their staff. In a world where the typical salesperson is making a base average yet someone like Cody Carter—a figure showcased within their industry context—is realizing million-dollar earnings, comprehension of these themes promises a pathway to exceptional industry success. Understanding the vast opportunities within car sales pay plans dictates a salesperson's financial trajectory far more than mere percentages on paper might first suggest.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.
