In this episode of The Leaders' Table Podcast, host sits down with three business friends—Jan Touchberry, Andee Hart, and Gabe Cox—for a candid conversation about money, pricing, profit, and the personal beliefs that Christian women bring to these decisions. We explore why pricing can feel so personal, especially when building a business around your own gifts and expertise. Together, we unpack the fear of raising prices, the struggle to value your own work, and the tension between serving well and charging appropriately. Beyond the challenges, we dive deep into a vital question: What if profitability actually expands our ability to serve others? Listen in as we clarify the difference between ministry and giving away your work, discuss how investment fosters client ownership, and reflect on what Scripture says about stewardship, gifts, and profitable work. Get practical insights on: Overcoming fear in pricing Understanding the real costs in your business Researching the market to inform your pricing Raising your prices confidently Managing pricing for returning clients Balancing capacity and profit margins This episode models real, respectful disagreement and deep reflection — because The Leaders' Table is a place for honest conversation about money, leadership, stewardship, and faith-driven business growth.

In this episode of Oh That's Deep: Black Women Conversations, Jănine shares an emotional update following her second myomectomy and reflects on finally experiencing life without the debilitating symptoms of fibroids. Meanwhile, Dr. Nicole Plenty takes listeners inside the politics of wedding planning, from missed RSVP deadlines to guests who refuse to accept that the list is closed. During “What's on Our Timeline?”, Jănine and Nicole examine troubling social media stories from biracial adults who say they experienced racism, prejudice, or discomfort with Blackness inside their own families. The ladies discuss whether love alone is enough when raising a child across racial lines, the responsibility parents have to confront their biases, and why shared values and self-awareness matter more than appearances. In “Letters From Our Listeners,” a biracial woman questions her childhood after recognizing a pattern in her white mother's comments about her hair, Black women, and her dark-skinned Black fiancé. Is she unfairly rewriting the past—or can someone genuinely love individual Black people while still holding racist beliefs? Jănine and Nicole offer two very different perspectives on parental love, racial bias, accountability, and grace. The episode closes with a “Motivational Moment” inspired by Maya Angelou and a reminder that growth does not require perfection—it requires the humility to learn, understand someone else's experience, and love them better. Until we meet again… Pray. Work. Slay. And show off your melanated excellence. Find more shows like this on the Mean Ole Lion app.

Social anxiety can make you want to cancel plans, avoid difficult conversations, stay quiet in meetings, or say no to opportunities you actually want. In this episode of the Decide Your Legacy Podcast, Adam shares a simple three step strategy for facing social anxiety instead of letting it control your decisions.It starts with your mindset. What are you focusing on when you walk into a situation? Everything that could go wrong, or the opportunities that could come from showing up? Next, create a plan. Preparation can dramatically change how you approach an uncomfortable conversation, meeting, event, presentation, date, or new experience. Finally, get in the arena and engage. Real change happens when you stop avoiding the situation and give yourself the opportunity to gather new evidence about what you're actually capable of.Adam shares his own experiences with anxiety, practical ways to prepare for social situations, the importance of curiosity, breathing, flexibility, and why even rejection can become an opportunity to build resilience.If social anxiety has been keeping you from relationships, opportunities, conversations, or experiences you know you should pursue, start with these three steps.Mindset. Plan. Engage.Pick one situation you've been avoiding and give the process a try. You decide your legacy. Nobody else.RSVP to the Upcoming Self Confidence Workshop HERE_____________________________TAKE THE NEXT STEP!Conversation starters are helpful, but the deeper issue is often courage.

For this weeks Mormon News Podcast,  John Dehlin and Meggan Hayes dig into what Bloomberg uncovered about the Church's growing real estate empire, plus warnings about "baseball baptisms" and the push for convert growth, concerns about the Church's new Sunday meeting schedule, the sentencing of a polygamous sect leader, and a new LDS strategy for bringing nonmembers into local meetinghouses.Bloomberg's investigation examines just how much land The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns across the United States and how its property holdings have grown. We look at the numbers, where that land is concentrated, and what the investigation reveals about the scale of the Church's real estate portfolio.Links:Bloomberg Digs Into the Church's Land Holdings: https://youtu.be/G0pU8s0hlJUHistorian Matthew Bowman warns against chasing membership growth at the expense of meaningful conversion, pointing to the infamous era of "baseball baptisms." What can that history teach us about today's emphasis on missionary numbers and Church growth?Links:Beware the "Baseball Baptisms": https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2026/08/26/be-wary-baseball-baptisms-quest/Changes are also coming to Sunday meetings. A new schedule means shorter classes and less transition time between meetings. Supporters see a more streamlined Sunday experience, while others worry about losing valuable time for discussion, connection, and community.Links:Is Sunday Church Getting Too Short?: https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2026/08/26/mormon-land-podcast-we-dissect-new/We also cover the sentencing of polygamous sect leader Samuel Bateman, who was already serving a lengthy federal prison sentence and has now received additional prison time in Arizona.Links:Polygamous Sect Leader Sentenced: https://www.mormonnews.com/story/polygamous-sect-leader-faces-sentencing-after-girls-found-in-trailer-jskgFinally, we look at the LDS Church's "Activity Sharing" program. Public-facing ward activities can appear in online searches and allow nonmembers to find local events and RSVP. The Church is encouraging wards to make activities more accessible to outsiders, while its own success stories show these community events can also lead to Sunday attendance and contact with missionaries. We look at how this fits with new research being conducted among nonmembers who attend LDS activities.Links:The Church's New Activity-Sharing Push: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/activity-sharing-a-simple-way-for-latter-day-saints-to-invite-friends-to-church-ward-events___________________Show NotesYouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2.

In this solo episode of CockTales with Kiki, Kiki gets into what it really means to show up — for your friends, your relationships, and yourself. After a Sip & Spill caller admits she's nervous about planning a party only to have people cancel, the conversation opens up into flakiness, dating etiquette, last-minute cancellations, and the difference between protecting your peace and simply being inconsiderate.Kiki also answers an Ask Kiki letter from a listener who feels like she's wasting her twenties waiting for the next chapter of her life to finally begin, plus another very different dilemma involving a boyfriend, old sex videos, and one extremely questionable camera roll.From RSVP anxiety to mixed signals and learning how to enjoy your life before everything is perfectly figured out, this episode is about who shows up, who flakes, and what it really means.Follow me! @kikisaidso & @cocktalespodcastContact Me!Advice: advice@cocktalespod.comCockTales: cocktales@cocktalespod.comAdvertising: cameron@pleasurepodcasts.com Sip & Spill where I sip and you spill: 404-692-0039Sponsors/Special Offers:IROHAAugust is Orgasm Month!

For five years, Georgia RSVP Clinic has provided critical care to people who have suffered spinal cord and brain injuries. Volunteers rehabilitate patients who are uninsured or underinsured, providing them care that would otherwise cost close to $1 million in some cases. Here in Georgia, more than 1.2 million people are without health insurance, leaving the state with one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. Georgia also has many people with brain and spinal cord injuries who are uninsured. On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” we hear the personal story of Rahsaan Wise, who was left paralyzed by a gunshot wound. With the determination of his mother, they found the nonprofit and the treatment Wise needed without being prohibited by costs. We also learn of Georgia RSVP Clinic’s work, despite various challenges for the uninsured and underinsured.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if one of the most meaningful things you could give your family is a plan?In this episode of The Good Grief Podcast, Mike and Emma O'Connell talk about why pre-planning a funeral is less about death and more about taking care of the people you love.They discuss the decisions families face after a death, how money and grief can quickly create conflict, why even a simple cremation deserves a deeper conversation, and how planning ahead gives families more room to focus on remembering rather than deciding.Emma also explains what happens during a pre-planning appointment, how funeral expenses can be funded ahead of time, and why you do not need to have every answer before starting the conversation.Most importantly, Mike and Emma challenge the idea that planning your funeral is morbid. Instead, it can be one final way to care for your family.RESOURCESO'Connell Family Funeral Homeshttps://oconnellfuneralhomes.com/Pre-Planning Informationhttps://oconnellfuneralhomes.com/pre-planning/Upcoming 2026 Pre-Planning Seminars: River Falls, WI: Wednesday, September 9 at 10am or 3pmEllsworth, WI: Wednesday, September 9 at 6pm, or Thursday, September 10 at 10amPrescott, WI: Thursday, September 10 at 6pmSpring Valley, WI: Thursday, September 10 at 3pmHudson, WI: Wednesday, September 30 at 10am, 3pm, or 6pmBaldwin, WI: Thursday, October 1 at 10am or 2pmSeating is limited and these fill up fast, so please RSVP by calling.

In this “Articles of News” episode, Richie and Verlin (our resident News Wizard) are tackling a packed listener inbox, playing a pretty wild Old Testament version of Smooch, Marry, Kill, and breaking down all the biggest stories happening around the Church right now. Banter & The Listener Inbox Verlin is joining us straight from the 1994-era Durham, North Carolina stake office—getting ready for some weekend ward cleaning and a massive “pig pickin'” (smoked pork and banana pudding, anyone?). Meanwhile, Richie recaps a high-energy DJ gig for the Nightingale nursing group and calls out listener Jack Marinello to step up his game in the Facebook comments. Plus, we dive into a great email from Chris about navigating the “Moco” (Mormon Corridor) and the tricky balance of separating actual gospel principles from institutional church culture. Global Church Leadership & Events Happy 94th Birthday to President Oaks! We chat about his first international trip as the 18th President of the Church to dedicate the Belo Horizonte, Brazil temple. We also touch on Elder Patrick Kearon’s powerful message at Education Week to a crowd of 15,000, where he urged everyone to “stop earning their worth.” Also on the docket: Elder Rasband’s MTC address on the current global missionary surge, Elder Villar championing religious freedom down in Peru, and the Institute centennial broadcast out of Johannesburg. Policy, BYU & Institute Updates What do you guys think about the new, 25-minute-shorter Sunday block schedule? We cover that, along with the digital release of 10 joyful new hymns and the new ward-level event RSVP feature rolling out on the app. Over in Provo, Education Week just wrapped up with 16,000 attendees focusing on Charity, and the new BYU School of Medicine announced an upcoming “Christ-Centered Physician” conference. Plus, Seminary and Institute enrollment has officially topped 1 million globally, thanks in large part to the “Invite a Friend” initiative. Culture & Retention Trends We dig into some shifting demographics today, specifically a BYU Studies report on the sharp decline in church retention among Gen Z women. We discuss the commentary pointing to politics, purity culture, and feelings of powerlessness as driving factors. We also look at some interesting Gallup data comparing lower European church participation to the high devotion metrics seen in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Finally, we share a laugh over a story about a YSA who shaved her head just to deter unwanted dates, and we discuss the viral Friend magazine article asking, “Are there any girl bishops?” Question of the Week: We want to hear from you! What was your biggest takeaway from Elder Kearon’s message about slowing down and no longer trying to “earn your worth”?

In this episode, I'm talking to the women who deep down know their soul is begging them to leave their job—and you've even done the math (you have savings, you have runway), but you're still terrified to pull the trigger.I'm reframing “quitting” into something lighter and more intentional: a career break or sabbatical, and I'm sharing my own 2016 story of leaving a toxic corporate environment and how that pause changed my entire life trajectory.We'll talk about why a break feels so awkward (resume-gap fear, losing a consistent paycheck, and tying your worth to output), why gaps are way more normal now, and how you can re-enter stronger with the right upskilling and relationship-building.I also share a money mindset shift—treating your wellbeing like a true emergency worth investing in—and a story about Amber using a power pause to get intentional and pursue what lights her up.In this episode:00:00 Worth the Investment00:30 Welcome and Mission01:23 Should You Quit02:47 Masterclass Invitation04:03 Career Break Reframe05:14 Emily's 2016 Leap09:09 Why Breaks Feel Weird09:51 Resume Gap Reality14:32 Money Mindset Shift15:28 Your Worth Beyond Output18:53 Permission and Approval20:13 Savings as Self Care22:39 Frivolous Spending Contrast24:32 Amber's Power Pause26:05 Wrap Up and Next StepsMentioned in this episode:RSVP for my FREE Masterclass: cultivitae.com/clearApply for a FREE Strategy Call: cultivitae.com/applyFollow Emily on social: @cultivitaeYou might also love:Ep. 050 — Why not me?

Bootstrapping a beauty brand to eight figures before bringing on outside investors sounds impossible until you hear the two financial tools that made it work.Elina Wang, co-founder and CEO of ESW Beauty, joins Lindsay Pinchuk on Dear FoundHer to break down exactly how she built a skincare brand now sold in more than 19,000 retail locations across North America, including Target, Walgreens, Whole Foods, and CVS. Factoring and PO financing kept her cash moving while retailers paid on their own terms, and those two tools became the real financial turning points behind the brand.Elina shares the bad hires that slowed her down, the late shipments from overseas suppliers that forced her to rethink timelines, and the moment she overbought inventory out of fear and what that did to her cash flow.Elina shares her decision-making behind scaling a business while bootstrapping the business, including why she waited years before spending on D2C marketing and what made Whole Foods her first true anchor retailer.

Send Us Your Questions/CommentsTwo invitations are sitting in your inbox every day, and Proverbs 9 refuses to let us pretend they're equal. One voice offers a table set for life, clarity, and steady joy. The other whispers that what's hidden is harmless, that stolen water is sweet, and that quick pleasure is the same thing as freedom. We slow down the contrast between Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly and ask the question that actually matters: what are you training your heart to RSVP to when nobody's watching?We also dig into why biblical wisdom is not the same as worldly wisdom. Wisdom in Proverbs is a way of living under God's authority, not a bag of tips. That's why repentance shows up as a practical turning, not a vague feeling. We talk about the modern pull of instant gratification, the dopamine loop, and how culture markets secrecy and impulse, especially around sexual immorality and the stories we absorb through screens. Folly promises a shortcut, but it always sends an invoice later.Then we land on the center line of the chapter: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” We unpack fear as reverence, obedience, and taking God seriously, the posture that keeps us humble and teachable instead of defensive and scoffing. If you want insight, peace, and a life that holds together, it starts with knowing the Holy One and staying close to Jesus. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's at a crossroads, and leave a review with one area where you're choosing wisdom this week.New episodes every Mondaywww.lifehousemot.cominfo@lifehousede.comJoin us Sundays at 9 & 11 AMIntro music by Joey Blair

In this Career Reinvention episode, I'm sitting down with Lynn Hyllden, who made a powerful pivot inside the entertainment industry—from 15 years on set in television production (the “factory”) to production finance and corporate decision-making.We talk about the moment she realized she couldn't keep chasing the producer path, even though it looked like the obvious next step, and the identity discomfort of not being able to say “I am a producer.”Lynn shares how getting clear on what she's genuinely good at opened the right door—literally, when she turned down a VP of production role and discovered the company was desperate for a production finance hire.We also get into imposter syndrome as a non-traditional candidate, the sunk cost fallacy, what her week actually looks like (cash flow, payroll, cost reports, tax credits, compliance), and why controlling your narrative—and saying what you want out loud—matters so much.In this episode:00:00 Turning Down The Dream Job00:12 Show Welcome And Series Intro01:25 Icebreakers And Career Advice04:09 Lynn's TV Career Background06:01 Factory To Finance Pivot09:03 Identity Shift And Clarity11:50 Saying No Opened A Door14:55 Nontraditional Candidate Advantage17:27 Job Search And Solo Mom Fears20:26 Day In The Life Production Finance26:04 Secret Weapon Reading Numbers27:53 Imposter Syndrome And Support30:55 Pivot Myths And Full Circle34:09 Advice And Networking In TV36:56 First Break Scrappy Origin Story39:37 Wrap Up And Final ThanksAbout Lynn Hylden:Lynn Hilden spent 15 years chasing the traditional path in TV production — until she was finally offered the promotion she'd wanted for over a decade, and realized she had to turn it down.

Read Mark 1:1-8“The Beginning of the Gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (1:1)1. How would you frame the “good news” of the gospel? Try to put it into one sentence. “I will send a messenger before you who will prepare your way” (1:2)2. John “prepared the way for Jesus” by calling people to repent of their sins. How does repentance prepare the way for you to encounter Jesus today? “John came baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance…” (1:4)3. John invited people into a baptism that symbolized their repentance and pictured cleansing from their sins, with forgiveness as the result. Jesus would come and actually provide the sacrifice for sins, bringing full forgiveness and the greater baptism of the Holy Spirit, symbolizing God's intimate presence with us. “I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit” (1:7)4. In what ways is Jesus and His message greater than John and his message? “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (James 1:22)5.

The Proclamation of the “Pater” UPG FOCUS: The Mappila in IndiaThe Mappila are a large Muslim people group living primarily in southern India, with a history shaped by Arab traders. Family and religious life are deeply influenced by Islam, and local imams hold significant spiritual authority. Although the Bible and other gospel resources are available, fewer than 2% of Mappila are followers of Christ. Pray that many would come to know Jesus, that courageous believers would boldly share their faith, and that God would raise up leaders who point their communities to Him.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,915Giving For 08/02 27,535Giving For 08/09 33,704YTD Budget 215,490Giving 165,252 OVER/(UNDER) (50,238) Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, September 13, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

In this episode, I answer a question about helping parents whose child has gradually taken control of the entire home. When a child constantly interrupts conversations, makes relentless demands, or escalates until everyone gives in, it's tempting to focus on stopping the behavior. Instead, I explain why we have to begin by understanding what's driving it. I discuss how power and control needs, inconsistent boundaries, and fractured relationships can combine to create these patterns, and why lasting change starts by helping parents see their child through a different lens—not by teaching them a list of techniques. I also walk through how therapists can coach parents to rebuild connection before focusing on behavior management. We explore why relationship always comes before skills, how giving children appropriate opportunities for choice and control can reduce power struggles, and why parents must be prepared for behaviors to intensify before they improve as new boundaries are established. This episode is a reminder that our greatest gift to parents isn't teaching them CCPT skills—it's helping them understand their child in a way that transforms the relationship.

PHP Podcast – August 13, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon Eric and John reunite after weeks apart to talk Laracon in Boston, more diverse voices coming to this time slot, CPX finally giving PHP an npx, a stripped-down PHPStorm Light, and PHP Tek’s extended CFP. Stepping Back to Make Room for More Voices Eric and John open by explaining a shift in the show: they’re not disappearing, but they’re stepping back a little so more people from the PHP Architect team can take the mic. As John put it, the goal is “more diverse voices of the community,” and folks like Joe, Sarah, and Holly have been stepping into this time slot. Eric and John have committed to appearing at least once a month, since they have the most holistic view of what’s happening across the company. When they’re on, expect the “inside baseball” episodes — the behind-the-scenes look at what PHP Architect is up to. The rest of the time, this slot will keep going with other hosts, so the show never goes dark. They also reminded listeners there’s both a live stream and an audio RSS feed. Some folks apparently only recently discovered the audio version, while longtime audio listeners never realize the show streams live. Either way, head to phparch.com, click on podcasts, and you’ll find every way to subscribe. Eric’s Laracon Boston Recap Eric attended Laracon in Boston and, as always, has a love/hate relationship with it. On the plus side, it’s where he catches up with a lot of friends, and the talks were solid — Pauline Voss gave a great presentation on JJ (Jujutsu) and atomic commits, and Nuno showed off Pest 5. Eric noted the framework itself is moving much slower now, which is actually a good thing for anyone running a business on it, even if it makes the conference less essential-viewing than it once was. The venue was industrial and good-looking with a fantastic stage setup, but seating was a genuine problem this year. Eric arrived late to Nuno’s talk and there was nowhere to sit; the team scrambled to bring in more chairs. When it rained on day two, they ran out again. Despite that, staying in the same hotel as folks like Eric Barnes, TJ, Jake Bennett, and Michael Dorinda made for the kind of hallway-and-breakfast camaraderie he values most. Eric also hit the social events he usually skips — he sat out dodgeball (bad knees, slip-on shoes, and being a big target), but went to the Laracon Prom, which required an RSVP and an approved request. It turned out to be way cooler than expected, with people fully decked out, DJs, and an after-party plus a VIP dinner where Laravel’s marketing team worked the room. He also caught up with folks like Matthew Weier O’Phinney of Zend/Perforce and had a chat with Taylor. Running the Laravel Magazine Site and Taylor’s Blessing Eric shared that PHP Architect is now running the Laravel Magazine website, which previously belonged to Marijn (Marion) Pop. He’s been publishing tutorials, keeping things current, and making changes to the site he’s proud of. The articles are short, quick reads — and one of the Laravel wrap-up pieces mirrors the same article on the PHP Architect site. At the after-party dinner, Eric took the opportunity to run the name past Taylor directly, since he wasn’t sure the original owner had ever gotten official approval to use the Laravel name for a magazine. Taylor’s response was essentially “that’s fine, don’t worry about it” — so Laravel Magazine lives on. Eric even set up a newsletter signup, though he admits he’s not sure yet whether he’ll actually send a newsletter. CPX — A PHP-World npx One of Eric’s favorite discoveries from Laracon was CPX, essentially the PHP equivalent of npx. Just as npx lets you run JavaScript packages without installing them into a specific project, CPX lets you run tools without a global composer install or a per-project dependency. Eric already swapped his global PHP CS Fixer and Laravel Pint setup over to CPX aliases, so he now always runs the latest version without dependency headaches. John pushed back a bit, pointing out that tools like PHP unit and Rector usually live in your vendor directory anyway because your CI pipeline depends on them. Eric agreed that’s a valid workflow, but framed CPX as ideal for the occasional-use tools and for lowering the barrier for people outside the PHP world who want to dip in without fully committing. Chat chimed in with Rector as a great CPX use case, and they walked through examples like spinning up a fresh Laravel app. Laravel LSP and PHP Storm Light Eric was genuinely excited that Laravel now has its own Language Server Protocol. Most IDEs had already built their own Laravel-aware workarounds, but for Eim’s Neovim setup, the LSP finally makes things like jumping from a route to the view it points to work correctly — something PHP Storm had solved long ago but Vim hadn’t. He also spotted something called PHP Storm Light at the JetBrains booth: a trimmed-down, experimental build with faster startup, lower memory, and fewer features. It’s available through the Toolbox app as an EAP, so it’s free and explicitly experimental. John, who’d been hitting memory limits in regular PHP Storm, decided to install it on the spot, and Joe mentioned using it for one-off file edits — sparking a conversation about whether it fills the gap left by JetBrains’ old standalone editor. PHP Tek CFP Extended + Ticket Options John announced that the PHP Tek call for speakers has been extended through October 31st. The team experimented with opening the CFP very early this year to help attendees whose fiscal-year approvals depend on a locked schedule, but the community felt it was too early to know what would be relevant next April. So they extended the window and made cfp.phptek.io point straight to the call for presenters (thanks to a suggestion from A. Woods). On tickets, they’ve broken out a bundle that includes hotel nights so attendees can hand their boss a single lump-sum figure (airfare not included). There are also food-and-beverage-only tickets for partners and kids, single-day track options, and dedicated days for Laravel, JavaScript, and DevOps — one track each, with the other two tracks running the usual PHP Tek content. John flagged a possible issue with DevOps being the default CFP track, since it’s pulling in a flood of generic, seemingly AI-submitted talks he’ll need to sort through.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Steven of My Life Outdoors, a gear-obsessed backpacker who grew his YouTube channel to over 1.2 million subscribers through high-production gear breakdowns and hands-on science experiments.  In this one, we dive into Steven's emotional year supporting his wife through three separate cancer diagnoses, her rare complete response to immunotherapy, and the story of how Luke Nichols from Outdoor Boys randomly gifted him a fully-edited video to keep his channel afloat during the crisis. Steven also breaks down some of his most popular videos, including the custom rain chamber he build to prove that GORE-TEX jackets do in fact leach forever chemicals. We also cover his quest for "true silence" that led him to anechoic chambers and the remote borders of Big Bend National Park, the logistics of building a winter quinzhee, and the counterintuitive thermodynamics of wearing fishnet base layers in freezing weather.  We wrap the show with a last call to RSVP for our upcoming Seattle Hiker Meetup, a breakdown of how to get from the Denver airport to Waterton Canyon on the cheap, Peg Leg's list of trail foods she never gets tired of, a Question of the Day deciding between one day in Ancient Egypt vs one spent with aliens, a Triple Crown of our favorite Disney and Pixar movies, and a mailbag serving as a Durston Gear ad.

Greektown has been a staple of downtown Detroit for generations. I have so many great memories as a kid, and it's one of the most "city-feeling" areas of Detroit, and has a litany of great restaurants, bars, and more. Now, a major transformation has made Monroe Street more flexible, pedestrian-friendly, and vibrant for the future. Norris Howard and I sat down with Lori Singleton, landscape architect and design director at SmithGroup, to break down the vision behind the new Greektown streetscape. We dive into: The Shift to Pedestrian-First Design and why sacrificing some on-street parking allowed for expanded outdoor dining, curbless walkways, and flexible plaza spaces. How clever systems and underground engineering keep street trees healthy without destroying sidewalks or drowning roots. And how incremental public space improvements — from the Dequindre Cut, to Beacon Park, to Capitol Park, to Grand Circus Park — are reshaping how people experience downtown Detroit. There are more images in our newsletter going out tonight. Sign up here: https://www.dailydetroit.com/ Remember that our Summer Studio Open House is SATURDAY MORNING!

Is it possible to be off track in life?If things feel challenging, does that mean something's not meant for you?How do you actually co-create a life aligned with your unique gifts, talents and purpose when you're not 100% sure which direction to go?If any of these questions have crossed your mind, we're breaking it all down in this week's podcast episode.I decided to use oracle cards this week to open up to intuitive guidance and asked three questions:✨ What do people misunderstand about vision?✨ What does Spirit want people to know about vision?✨ What can help you activate a vision for your life that lights you up?The messages that came through felt SPOT ON and answered so many of the questions my clients have been wrestling with lately… and they might just answer what's been on your mind too.If you're ready to stop questioning your path and start intentionally creating a life that feels deeply meaningful, inspired and aligned for you, give this episode a listen. ⚡️What space to get clear about the direction that's calling you forward? Join me for Activate Your Vision, a virtual workshop on Thursday, August 13th. ⚡️Together, we'll quiet the noise, tune into the sparks and desires asking to be followed, and imagine a future that feels deeply aligned with what matters most to you.You'll leave with a vision that becomes your North Star, helping you navigate uncertainty and make more intentional choices about where you want to go from here.

In this episode, I'm sharing the trick to opening bigger possibilities when you feel stuck or can't even see what's “next” yet — and it's way simpler than you think: have real, honest conversations that expand what you believe is possible.I walk you through the Roger Bannister story (the first person to break the 4-minute mile) to show how so many limits are psychological before they're physical, and why we need both internal belief and external strategy.Then I share two Inner Magic client wins where salary negotiation felt terrifying… and ended up paying off (including one client who asked for more and got $7K extra plus a six-month review, and another who got a $17.5K bump plus a sign-on bonus).I also tell you about a random pickleball conversation with a pilot that totally expanded my understanding of what's possible in the market, and I'll leave you with one simple question: what's one conversation you can have this week?In this episode:00:00 Doors You Assume Closed01:01 Episode Theme Bigger Possibilities01:35 Roger Bannister Mindset Shift04:18 Client Win Negotiation06:46 Momentum Through Stories09:30 Salary Transparency Matters10:40 Pickleball Pilot Pay Reality12:50 Free Career Masterclass Invite14:12 Talk To People Not Glassdoor16:01 Run Small Experiments16:57 Curiosity Beats Resistance18:20 One Conversation This Week18:31 Wrap Up And ConnectMentioned in this episode:RSVP for my FREE Masterclass: cultivitae.com/clearApply for a FREE Strategy Call: cultivitae.com/applyFollow Emily on social: @cultivitaeYou might also love:Ep. 047 — Why You Don't Trust YourselfEp. 044 — Normal Hard vs. Soul-Crushing HardEp. 043 — Why you can't figure out what you want anymoreSending you so much love.

#736: A bride wants to spend $60,000 on her wedding — money that could grow to $800,000 in 40 years if she invested it instead. This week, three very different listener questions all boil down to the same fight: what the math says versus what actually makes you happy.
