This past week, as I said at the beginning of Mass, has been quite a week for me. It was extraordinary.  I had the opportunity to sit in the Synod Hall  as the Holy Father gave his new encyclical, Magnificat Humanitas, to the world. I am still unpacking the magnitude  of the event in my life,  but there are some things that really stood out for me. 

What if one person noticing something in you changed the entire trajectory of your life? In this episode, Samyr Laine, Haitian-American Olympian, attorney, and managing partner of Freedom Trail Capital, shares how a high school track coach who noticed a kid with leaping ability in gym class set off a chain of events that led to the Olympic Games, a call from the president of Haiti, boardrooms with Jay-Z and the NFL, and a venture fund investing at the intersection of culture, lifestyle, and influence. Samyr was user number 14 on Facebook, roommates with Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard, and has built one of the most unusual and compelling careers in venture capital. But none of it traces back to a famous name or a prestigious institution. It traces back to Coach Burks, who saw something and said something.   [00:06:00] What He Does and Who He Serves Managing partner of Freedom Trail Capital, a consumer-focused venture fund Invests at the intersection of culture, lifestyle, and influence Raising a $50 million first fund with investments across baby care, hair care, pet care, and beverages [00:07:40] What Inspires Him Driven by the pursuit of excellence in whatever role he is in Meets with founders even when he can't invest; every conversation teaches him something Reads nonfiction constantly to learn how others persevere Measures progress in bite-sized steps just like he did as an Olympic athlete [00:13:00] How He Got Here After Harvard, got a master's at UT Austin then attended Georgetown Law Competed professionally in track and field for 10 years including the 2012 London Olympics Represented Haiti at seven world championships and three Pan American Games Started his real career as legal counsel in DC before moving into sports business [00:14:00] From Sports Law to Roc Nation Started his real career as legal counsel for the Washington Wizards, Capitals, and Mystics Was happy in sports law when a recruiter called with an offer he couldn't refuse Jay-Z was looking for someone to handle operations at Roc Nation Left the sports world for a completely new chapter as an operator [00:15:40] From Roc Nation to Westbrook Left Roc Nation after a couple of years and joined Westbrook Inc as SVP of Operations Helped oversee Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's entire media and production enterprise Moved to lead their consumer product division covering brands, licensing, and IP monetization Worked with talent ranging from Pelé and Patrick Mahomes to DJ Jazzy Jeff [00:19:40] The Vision for Freedom Trail Capital Goal is to move from fund one to fund two to fund three Wants to be the tip of the spear for culturally relevant consumer brands Mission is to prove talent-backed businesses work when paired with discipline and rigor Model: find scalable, defensible businesses then add the right person of influence [00:23:40] The First Relationship That Changed Everything: Coach Burks Got cut from his track team in eighth grade; came back junior year to find a new coach Coach Burks noticed his leaping ability in gym class and introduced him to the triple jump Had no idea what the triple jump was; just wanted to be a sprinter That one introduction led him to the 2012 London Olympics and seven world championships [00:25:40] The Second Relationship: Desiree Perez of Roc Nation Working under Desiree shaped the pace, discipline, and operating style he carries today She put him in boardrooms with Facundo Bacardi and Roger Goodell of the NFL Was in the early rooms when Roc Nation partnered with the NFL on Super Bowl halftime entertainment The people he met in her orbit opened doors he could never have reached on his own [00:27:40] What Coach Burks's Introduction Made Possible Chose to represent Haiti at the Olympics; the Haitian team had six athletes, the US had nearly 600 After qualifying for the finals, received a personal call from the president of Haiti Town squares across Haiti filled with thousands watching the Olympic triple jump final He now sits on the board of a school and orphanage in Haiti; it all started with one introduction [00:33:00] The Value of One Right Relationship One right relationship can pay dividends for decades in ways you never expected His introduction to the triple jump led to the Olympics, which still opens doors today Every stop was about gaining skills and being more useful at the next one One introduction can be worth as much as a check   KEY QUOTES "Your network and your relationships, man, it cannot be overstated how valuable it is." - Samyr Laine "The value of one right relationship.

Today we close our sermon series 1 on 1 with Jesus by remembering that each of us are headed towards a face-to-face encounter with a Savior and therefore we must be living in right relationship.  For more information on The Gathering, check out our website thegathering.online

The way you relate to power is the way you relate to everything around and within you–your work, your people, your sense of what's possible. And most of us have never actually examined that relationship.And in this season we are in, when everything is changing so quickly, any unexamined beliefs we hold will quietly run the show. They will shape the risks we take, the rooms we walk into, and the moments we either step up or shrink back. If we don't have something to ground us internally to our values, our body, our nervous system, and our beliefs, we run the risk of looking to external validation and trying to control everyone and everything around us. We do damage control and play nice at the expense of real connection and progress.Which is why I am thrilled to welcome back Dr. Amanda Aguilera to talk more about the Right Use of Power framework for personal power and her new book, Shaping Power for Good: Wayfinding to Right Relationship. She reminds us that staying rooted and using our personal power for good isn't a box to be checked, but a continuous practice and commitment to ourselves and our relationships. Dr. Amanda Aguilera currently serves as the Executive Director of the Right Use of Power Institute and co-leader of Sacred Wayfinding. She has dedicated most of her career to helping people and organizations understand systems, conflict, and social power dynamics to create right relationships and a sense of belonging. She has a knack for making difficult conversations easier, complex ideas more accessible, and resistance more workable. Integrating power, contemplative practices, neurobiology, and restorative practices, she works by finding a balance of head and heart and facilitating the co-creation of strategic maps that lead us forward in a more equitable way.Listen to the full episode to hear:Defining the six core types of power through the lens of relationships to others, ourselves, and the collectiveHow four essential aspects of being in right relationship show up in us and othersWhy checking in on power and relationships starts with connecting to our bodies How committing to being in right relationship helps us overcome how we've been socialized to access power and belongingWhy right relationship fundamentally starts with ourselves, our boundaries, and our valuesHow each of us can use our power for good, conscientiously and in alignment with our valuesLearn more about Dr. Amanda Aguilera:Right Use of Power InstituteInstagram: @rightuseofpowerinstituteShaping Power for Good: Wayfinding to Right RelationshipLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:ParenthoodEP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowEP 125: Power, Regulation, and Leadership: Connecting to Your Personal Power with Dr. Amanda AguileraBelonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, Geoffrey L.

In this episode, I share a disturbing dream that marked a turning point in my relationship with Attention, social media, and the systems we participate in.It's an exploration of the Magician archetype, the nature of illusion, and the subtle ways our Attention can be shaped, captured, and carried without us realizing it.This is a conversation about enchantment, awareness, and what it means to stay connected to yourself while moving through systems designed to captivate you. Press play to hear:My disturbing dream about illusion, surrender, and disorientationThe Magician archetype in Jungian psychology and what it representsHow Attention can be shaped, redirected, and influenced without conscious awarenessWhy illusion often feels good and why that mattersHow social media functions as a modern system of attention captureThe experience of being “inside the spell” and what it feels like to come back outWhat it means to be in Right Relationship with technologyAttention as a relationship, not just a resourceIllusion as a natural part of human experienceAwareness as the bridge between manipulation and masteryThe difference between being entranced vs empoweredThe practice of staying connected to yourself inside immersive systemsThe problem isn't illusion.

I didn't decide all at once to change my relationship with social media.It happened slowly.In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how things started to feel different for me—how something that once felt connective and alive began to feel extractive, overwhelming, and out of alignment. I talk about the moment where something really clicked, the questions that changed everything, and how I began experimenting instead of forcing a drastic change.This is a conversation about Attention, Time, and what it means to come back into Right Relationship with the systems we participate in.If you've been feeling like your attention is scattered, your time isn't your own, or you're trying to win inside a game you don't even want to be playing anymore… you're not alone.Press play to hear:What it felt like when social media stopped feeling reciprocalThe subtle ways Attention can feel like it's being taken instead of chosenThe concept of “unpaid labor” just to maintain your experience online The moment I realized something was not in Right RelationshipWhy I didn't quit social media—and what I did insteadThe small, experimental shifts that changed everythingWhy deeper connection, not more content, was what I was actually craving, and how I UPGRADED instead of deprived myselfHow voice notes and asynchronous connection became more meaningful for meThe question that reframed my entire relationship with time: What could I do with those same 12 hours a week if I put them somewhere else?

Follow us on:Facebook: agapechurchsloInstagram: @agapechurchsloWebsite: agape.churchBUILT TO LAST – God's Plan for Love, Marriage & FamilyWeek 2 | Built on the Rock: The Foundation of a Godly MarriageI want to start with a survey, if I asked you, “What's the most important part of building a house?” How many of you would say the kitchen… How many of you would say the roof… How many of you would say maybe the design.But the correct answer is the part nobody sees—the foundation.Even with beautiful countertops, custom cabinets, high ceilings, but a weak  foundation… the house won't survive the test of time and durability.And here's a tragic truth: We are living in a time where people are building beautiful weddings… but broken marriages.Because we've focused on what's seen— and IGNORED WHAT SUSTAINS.If your marriage is going to be Built to Last, it must be built on the right foundation.You cannot build THE RIGHT RELATIONSHIP on THE WRONG FOUNDATION.FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTUREMatthew 7:24–25 (NIV)Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.Not the one who hears… BUT the one who puts into action or applies what they hear.POINT 1: MARRIAGE IS A COVENANT, NOT A CONTRACTCulture teaches contract: “As long as you meet my needs, I'll stay.”God teaches covenant and covenant says, “I'm committed—even when it's hard.”Genesis 2:24Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.“Hold fast” = cling, cleave, stay connected.Malachi 2:14But you say, “Why does he not?” Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.BIG IDEA…Contracts are based on conditions; Covenants are BUILT ON COMMITMENT.A contract says: “I'll stay if…” BUT a covenant says: “I'm here because…”POINT 2: BUILD ON JESUS, NOT CULTURECulture says: “Follow your feelings” ; “Do what makes you happy” ; “If it stops working, walk away” But Jesus says in Matthew 7:24 Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.A strong marriage is not built on chemistry or compatibility or convenienceA strong marriage is BUILT ON OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST.Psalm 127:1Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.BIG IDEA…If Jesus is not at the center of your marriage, something else will take His place—and it won't be strong enough to hold it together.If Jesus isn't holding your marriage together, something weaker will try.POINT 3: MARRIAGE IS DESIGNED TO REFLECT CHRISTMarriage is not just about happiness— it's also about representation.Ephesians 5:25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,Marriage, which is a covenant, is a living picture of the Christ's love; Christ's sacrifice, and Christ's commitment Ephesians 5:21submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.BIG IDEA…A strong marriage is built when both husband and wife choose to love, serve, and honor each other like Christ.Marriage reflects Jesus most clearly when both people are committed to serving one another with humility, love, and sacrifice.POINT 4: YOU DON'T FALL INTO A GREAT MARRIAGE—YOU BUILD A GREAT MARRIAGENobody accidentally builds a strong marriage.Galatians 6:7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.You don't reap love without sowing love; You don't reap respect without giving respect; You don't reap connection without investing time BIG IDEA…Every marriage is the direct result of what has been consistently sown.PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR BUILDING A STRONG MARRIAGE1. PRIORITIZE TIME TOGETHERWeekly connection time; Protect it like an appointment What you prioritize grows.2. COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND OFTENSay what you mean; Don't expect mind-reading Clarity prevents conflict. (Clarity is CARING)3. SERVE EACH OTHER DAILYSmall acts matter Serve without scorekeeping The strength of a marriage is shaped by the daily choice to love each other through practical acts of service.4. PRAY TOGETHEREven if it's short… make a habit of Inviting God into your relationshipCouples who pray together stay connected spiritually.5. ADDRESS ISSUES EARLYDon't let things pile up HEALTHY CONFLICT IS BETTER THAN SILENT DISTANCE A healthy marriage is strengthened when small issues are faced early, before they become deep wounds.Some of you are trying to fix symptoms… when God is calling you to fix the foundation.Because when challenges come— and they will— the question won't be:“Do you love each other?”the question will be: “What is our marriage built on?”CONSISTENT PRAYER MOVING FORWARD…Married couples: “God, rebuild our foundation.” Engaged/dating: “God, help us build it right from the start.” Hurting marriages: “God, restore what we've allowed to weaken.” DECLARATIONOur marriage is not built on feelings. Our marriage is not built built on culture. Our marriage is built on Jesus. And whatever is built on Jesus…will stand.

If you've ever questioned whether a relationship is “right” you're not alone. In this episode, we unpack how our understanding of healthy relationships has evolved over time, and why the ones that actually last often feel steady and grounding rather than dramatic or intense. We reflect on past experiences where chemistry and excitement were mistaken for compatibility, and how that mindset kept us stuck in patterns that didn't truly serve us.

What does a truly good life look like - and how do we find our way back to it?In this episode of What is a Good Life?, Mark McCartney speaks with Ally Kingston about recovering the capacity for "right relationship": with ourselves, with nature, with community, and with something greater.Ally is a creative strategist and facilitator, and strategy lead at non-profit Purpose Disruptors and Agency for Nature. She designs interventions to galvanise public imagination and redirect our creative skills to work in harmony with the natural world. Also passionate about holding space for grief and loss in our changing times, she has also trained as a death doula and rites of passage holder. Once an advertising and sustainability leader, and one of Forbes' 43 People Changing Advertising for the Climate, she writes & lectures on storytelling, imagination and new conceptions of the good life.    They explore:- What "right relationship" actually means — and why we've lost it- Sobriety as a gateway to a fuller life- The Artist's Way and morning pages as a daily return to self- What four days alone in a forest teaches you about civilisation- The imagination crisis - why our vision of the future is shrinking- Death, grief, and why learning to let things end well matters now more than everIf you're searching for meaning beyond consumption, or asking what it means to live well in uncertain times, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually look like to live and lead in right relationship?In this final episode of season 10, The UpLevel Podcast brings together two leaders who have been deeply embedded in this work, both in conversation and in real-time practice.Over the past 15 months, we've explored right relationship across industries, identities, and lived experiences. It only felt right to close this chapter with Carlo Bos and Heather Davidson, whose partnership with UpLevel has become a living example of what right relationship can look like at scale.Carlo is a leadership development expert, executive coach, and former co-CEO of the Co-Active Training Institute, and Heather Davidson is an innovative learning and development leader and strategic problem solver with nearly two decades of experience across Google, Amazon, and GE.We'll explore what it means to lead from self-acceptance and courageous conviction while remaining open enough to be shaped by others. We look at how co-creation, trust, and shared purpose become the foundation for effective leadership—and how presence, mindset, and nervous system regulation influence every interaction.As we close this season on right relationship, this conversation becomes both a reflection and a bridge. A reflection of what we've been exploring together and a bridge into what's next. Listen now!In this episode, we'll explore:What right relationship looks like in real leadership practiceSelf-acceptance, conviction, and adaptability in leadershipCo-creation as a driver of performance and cultureDesigning relationships within complex organizationsLeadership in the age of artificial intelligenceThe role of mindset, presence, and nervous system regulationNavigating power, hierarchy, and disagreementBuilding trust and alignment at scaleStewardship and thinking in generations, not just outcomesDisclaimer: The views Heather Davidson shares in this conversation are her own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Google or any other current or former employer.About Carlo:Carlo Bos is a leadership development expert, executive coach, and former Co-CEO of the Co-Active Training Institute, where he led during a pivotal period of transformation from 2018 to 2023.

In this message, we look at how Christians are instructed to live in right relationship within the family, in the world, and most importantly, with God. 

I've been thinking a lot about how quickly we're taught to leave something the moment it feels off.Burn it down. Pivot. Start over.In the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, we're in the Connection Full Moon this Wednesday, April 1. It's about how alignment doesn't always come from making a big move. Sometimes it comes from staying long enough to understand what's actually out of alignment, and letting it come back into right relationship.That doesn't mean you stay forever.It means you don't let fear, force, or shame make the decision for you.For anyone navigating tension, transition, or "something's shifting but I can't name it yet," I made a free moon guide for you.

Send a textWhat does “right relationship” actually look like over nearly 50 years of partnership?This week on The UpLevel Podcast, join us for a deeply human and unexpectedly playful conversation as we sit down with Master Certified Coaches Cynthia and David Darst, senior faculty with the Co-Active Training Institute and CRR Global and life partners, to explore how right relationship is more than just a destination… it's a living, evolving practice.Cynthia also shares powerful insights from her book, Meet Your Inside Team, and explains how doing your internal work prevents you from projecting your fears and stories onto the people you love.This episode is full of laughter, lived wisdom, humility, and the kind of insight that only comes from decades of choosing each other again and again.In this episode, we'll explore:Why right relationship doesn't mean harmonyThe importance of learning how to “fight clean”The power of taking your own side without attacking the otherWhat it means to practice not knowing your partnerHow to recover when you miss each otherDesigning co-leadership consciouslyStaying in relationship even through the reality of deathAnd why you're never holding the relationship aloneAbout Team Darst:Cynthia Loy Darst, MCC, and David Darst, MCC, are Team Darst.With more than 50 years of combined coaching experience, Cynthia and David have traveled the world working with teams and training others in the skills that elevate coaching, leadership, and everyday life.Both are senior faculty members with The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and with CRR Global (formerly The Center for Right Relationship).Cynthia's book, Meet Your Inside Team, has significantly influenced how they each work with individuals. The concepts they teach through both CTI and CRR are deeply integrated into their client work—as well as into their own partnership.www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-loy-darst-teamdarst/www.linkedin.com/in/david-darst-45149a309

Make the tree right and the fruit will be right!

As we grow and evolve, the relationships we keep begin to matter in deeper ways. Some connections support our comfort and lifestyle — while others quietly shape our courage, clarity, and sense of purpose. In this episode, we explore how to choose the right relationships, not from a place of judgment or rigidity, but from honesty and self-respect. We look at how friendships and partnerships influence who we are becoming, why outgrowing certain connections is a natural part of growth, and how to recognize relationships that genuinely support your calling. This is a reflective, grounded conversation for anyone navigating change, reassessing their inner circle, or seeking relationships that feel aligned with their values and deeper direction. Listen with curiosity — not to make decisions, but to notice what feels true for you.

So many people think networking is about impressing the right people or getting close to whoever's on stage. But the truth? The relationships that change your life are usually built shoulder-to-shoulder with people growing right alongside you. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Bartold, co-founder of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women to talk about how she turned one mastermind investment into years of referrals, speaking opportunities, and lifelong friendships by leading with value, playing the long game, and showing up with zero expectation. We also dive into podcasting as a relationship-building tool, why rooms matter more than algorithms, and how to make meaningful connections without feeling salesy, awkward, or transactional. Get ready to rethink networking and start building relationships that compound for years to come.

Mari Otsu joins Stephen Blackwood for a deeply personal conversation about her journey through the wounds of materialism, ideology, and spiritual forgetting, and her return to the soul through the beauty of the humanities. Reflecting on her years at NYU and the Grand Central Atelier, Mari speaks of a longing that nothing in the modern, politicized worldview could satisfy, and how she found healing in therapy, classical painting, and, most profoundly, the living philosophical community of Ralston College. Engaging with the works of Plotinus, Boethius, and Dante, she discovered a path of purification and ascent that restored her sense of meaning and inspired her to share these treasures with others. This conversation explores the roots of today's meaning crisis and the redemptive power of beauty, thought, and imagination to heal the soul.
