Learn how to build true wealth without sacrificing the life you actually want. True wealth isn't just about the numbers in your bank account. It's about designing a life so aligned with who you are that you never want to retire from it. In this episode, I sit down with two of the sharpest financial minds I know to unpack what it really means to win the money game. We go deep on the mechanics of moving from earned income to passive income, the tax strategies most entrepreneurs overlook, and why the framework most financial advisors push is actually working against you. But we don't stop at tactics. We get into the harder conversation about why so many high earners are still deeply unfulfilled, and what it actually takes to build a life rich in every sense of the word. Justin Donald is the founder of The Lifestyle Investor and the man Entrepreneur Magazine calls the "Warren Buffett of Lifestyle Investing." After just 21 months of investing, Justin generated enough passive income to walk away from his job before turning 37, and he's since grown his net worth to over nine figures while keeping his family front and center. Garett Gunderson is a New York Times bestselling author, financial disruptor, and the creator of the "Already Won" keynote. For over 25 years, Garett has helped people plug financial leaks, keep more of what they make, and completely rethink their relationship with money without scrimping, sacrificing, or delaying the life they actually want to live. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Moving from earned to passive income is the most powerful tax strategy available to entrepreneurs. Tying your entire net worth to one business is one of the riskiest financial positions you can be in. A great deal attracts capital, so you don't need your own money to get started. The wealthiest people in the world hold intentionally diversified portfolios across real estate, equities, and uncorrelated assets. Financial independence is the real goal, not retirement. Cash flow beats accumulation as a wealth building strategy every single time. Investing in yourself will outperform the stock market more reliably than any index fund. Money can rent happiness temporarily, but it cannot buy the fulfillment that comes from purpose and meaningful relationships. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

A successful realtor knows that growth is not just about closings — it's about alignment. I'm joined by Eric Simon; we unpack what it truly means to be a successful realtor in an era where attention is currency and visibility feels mandatory.More agents than ever are building personal brands. Social media isn't optional anymore. Clients aren't just checking reviews — they're checking Instagram, watching stories, deciding who they trust before ever making a call. But here's the tension: scaling attention without structure can quietly pull you away from the very life you're working to build.The modern successful realtor must learn to grow influence without drifting from identity, family, or calling. Because influence itself isn't dangerous — unstructured influence is.You'll learn:Why authenticity beats imitation every timeWhy posting about what you actually enjoy unlocks sustainable content & how realtor systems can helpThe hidden dopamine cycle of social media & how it impacts performanceFor the successful realtor, social media should amplify connection — not replace it. That means being known for more than listings. It means letting your personality, hobbies, faith, and family perspective shape your content. People don't hire logos; they hire people.This conversation also goes deeper into building a faith driven business in a digital world. Can you scale influence without becoming addicted to validation? Can you pursue time freedom instead of trading visibility for constant accessibility?One of the biggest shifts discussed is this: no one thinks about your content as much as you do. That realization is freeing. It removes pressure. It allows experimentation. It reduces fear of failure. And it empowers the successful realtor to show up consistently without obsessing over metrics.We also unpack how attention connects to long-term growth strategies like real estate agent referrals. Visibility doesn't replace referrals — it strengthens them. When people feel like they know you, trust compounds faster. Influence accelerates relationship-based business.Ultimately, this episode challenges you to define success correctly. A successful realtor isn't simply the one with the biggest following or the most deals. It's the one who builds influence with integrity, protects what matters most, and creates structure before scaling further.Successful realtors can make more money through social media, but it can't come at the cost of presence at home.----Eric Simon is the founder of Broke Agent Media (BAM). He started in real estate as an agent but quickly realized his true edge wasn't just in selling homes—it was in telling the real story of what agents actually go through. He launched The Broke Agent as a humor brand that captured the chaos, rejection, wins, and absurdity of the industry. Today, BAM produces daily content, newsletters, podcasts, and educational resources that shape conversations across the industry. Eric blends humor with insight, helping agents think differently about branding, media, and building attention in a crowded marketplace.

Our thesis is that AI is still just engineering… those people who tell us for fun and profit, that somehow AI is so, so profound, so new, so different from anything that's gone before that it somehow eclipses the need for good engineering practice are wrong. We need that good engineering practice still, and for the most part, most things are not new. But there are some things that have become more important with AI. One of those is durability.Samuel Colvin, Creator of Pydantic AI, joins Hugo to talk about applying battle-tested software engineering principles to build durable and reliable AI agents.They Discuss:* Production agents require engineering-grade reliability: Unlike messy coding agents, production agents need high constraint, reliability, and the ability to perform hundreds of tasks without drifting into unusual behavior;* Agents are the new “quantum” of AI software: Modern architecture uses discrete “agentlets”: small, specialized building blocks stitched together for sub-tasks within larger, durable systems;* Stop building “chocolate teapot” execution frameworks: Ditch rudimentary snapshotting; use battle-tested durable execution engines like Temporal for robust retry logic and state management;* AI observability will be a native feature: In five years, AI observability will be integrated, with token counts and prompt traces becoming standard features of all observability platforms;* Split agents into deterministic workflows and stochastic activities: Ensure true durability by isolating deterministic workflow logic from stochastic activities (IO, LLM calls) to cache results and prevent redundant model calls;* Type safety is essential for enterprise agents: Sacrificing type safety for flexible graphs leads to unmaintainable software; professional AI engineering demands strict type definitions for parallel node execution and state recovery;* Standardize on OpenTelemetry for portability: Use OpenTelemetry (OTel) to ensure agent traces and logs are portable, preventing vendor lock-in and integrating seamlessly into existing enterprise monitoring.You can also find the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.You can also interact directly with the transcript here in NotebookLM: If you do so, let us know anything you find in the comments!

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Mat Lewczenko — entrepreneur, coach, and author of The Entrepreneur's Regret — to unpack what it feels like to be winning on paper while quietly losing at home. Mat shares his story of growing up as a Polish political refugee, building success through grit and discipline, and eventually finding himself at the top of his professional game… but emotionally empty, disconnected, and on the verge of self-sabotage. We talk about the silent epidemic facing high-performing entrepreneurs — entrepreneurial drift — and what it takes to reclaim your nights, weekends, relationships, and sanity. This episode is a wake-up call for any man chasing more while feeling less. Timeline Summary [0:00] The concept of "Rock Top" — succeeding outwardly while unraveling inwardly [1:41] Mat's family escaping Poland as political refugees before martial law [3:02] Growing up in an immigrant household built on pride, discipline, and ownership [10:10] Early lessons on earning what you want and respecting what you own [17:47] The tension between giving kids a better life without raising them soft [24:58] Mat's pivot from theater professor to real estate entrepreneur [30:29] The breaking point — winning at work while losing at home [31:31] The porch conversation where his wife said, "You don't get to do this" [35:29] Realizing he couldn't even name his core values [36:33] The North Star Values process and regaining alignment [40:52] The three pillars — Leadership, Love, and Life [41:30] Why being "all in" where you are eliminates guilt and fragmentation [45:28] The danger of climbing the wrong mountain [47:06] Why you must go back through the clouds to choose a new summit [54:28] Small hinges swing big doors — 15 intentional minutes a day [58:32] Presence over presents — how to win back connection at home Five Key Takeaways Rock Top is real — you can be crushing it professionally while quietly collapsing personally. Clarity of core values simplifies decision-making and eliminates internal friction. Entrepreneurial drift happens gradually, then suddenly — awareness must come before crisis. Being fully present where you are removes guilt and fragmentation. Small, consistent intentional actions create massive relational change.

Genesis 43In this message from Genesis 43, Pastor Krissy Miles highlights a turning point in Joseph's story, a moment where sacrifice, repentance, and generational responsibility collide.As the famine intensifies, Jacob is forced to send his sons back to Egypt, but this time, they must bring Benjamin. What unfolds is more than survival strategy. It is a test of surrender.Judah steps forward as a transformed man. Once complicit in betrayal, he now takes responsibility and offers himself as a guarantee. His repentance changed him, and positioned him to lead. This moment foreshadows the lineage of Christ, the Lion of Judah, who would one day stand in the gap for all of humanity.Pastor Krissy challenges believers to consider what they are holding onto that God is asking them to release. Jacob struggled to let go of Benjamin, the son he loved most. Yet the promise of provision required surrender. What we cling to can become the very thing that delays God's greater purpose.Egypt represents more than geography, it represents the world. God does not call His people to retreat, but to go. To engage. To serve. To carry covenant promise into broken places.Throughout the message, Pastor Krissy connects Judah's leadership to future generations. The decisions we make today determine whether those who come after us rise in blessing or remain bound in compromise. Will we sacrifice comfort so our children can inherit promise?When Joseph finally sees Benjamin, the dream begins to unfold. Guilt surfaces. Fear rises. Yet grace speaks louder. Instead of judgment, the brothers receive mercy.The story reminds us that we do not hide in shame before God. In Christ, guilt is exposed — and then covered by grace.This message calls us to relinquish what is most precious, trust God in famine seasons, and stand boldly for future generations.Surrender precedes fulfillment.Repentance precedes promotion.Release precedes provision.Key Themes:Sacrifice for Future GenerationsRepentance That Produces LeadershipReleasing What Is Most PreciousStanding in the GapEgypt as the WorldCovenant FaithfulnessGuilt Exposed, Grace ExtendedTrusting God in Famine SeasonsSurrender That Unlocks PromiseTimestamps:0:20 — Opening prayer & introduction 3:02 — The famine intensifies (Genesis 43 begins) 5:01 — Judah steps forward as leader 13:29 — Judah's repentance & restored character 16:13 — Sacrificing for future generations 21:20 — Jesus as the Lion of Judah 32:27 — Releasing what is most precious 48:47 — Guilt exposed, grace extended 1:00:24 — Communion & altar call

What do you need to sacrifice in your own life to follow Jesus? Because if you're going to truly follow Him, you have to be willing to let go of comfort, of convenience, of the good things that pull you away from His best. We see this played out in Luke 9 as three would-be followers approach Jesus, and every single one of them walks away unable to surrender what it costs to be His disciple. The first won't give up his comfort and security. The second can't put Jesus above his family obligations. The third hesitates, looking back at his past and what he's leaving behind. But here's the truth: whether it's the security we cling to, the responsibilities that feel urgent, or the past that haunts us, Jesus asks us to count the cost and follow Him anyway. He always knows what's best.What are you sacrificing for Christ? Are you too comfortable where you are, unwilling to grow? Are you letting good things block God's best plan for your life? Or are you looking back, held captive by shame and hesitation, when Jesus is calling you forward into a new life? Don't let anything keep you from Him. Lay it down at the foot of the cross. Forget what lies behind and reach forward to what lies ahead. Press toward the goal that God has set before you. Deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Jesus. He is the only way, the truth, the life. There is no other path to the Father but through Him.
The bipartisan support for a contempt vote against the Clintons was not a sudden outbreak of moral clarity in Washington, but a calculated strategic move. Democrats understand that precedent is everything, and by allowing scrutiny of figures within their own party, they are laying the groundwork to pursue Donald Trump once he is out of office. Sacrificing the old guard sends a message that no one is untouchable, which strengthens the argument for future investigations into Trump on issues including Jeffrey Epstein. This is less about loyalty and more about long-term positioning. By demonstrating a willingness to hold their own accountable, Democrats insulate themselves from accusations of hypocrisy when they eventually turn their focus toward Trump.At the same time, Epstein survivors risk once again being sidelined in a broader political chess match. While Democrats frame their actions as a pursuit of justice, the deeper motivation appears tied to strategic leverage rather than survivor-centered accountability. Republicans gain spectacle, Democrats gain precedent, and both parties maneuver for advantage. Meanwhile, the people most harmed by Epstein's crimes are invoked rhetorically but remain secondary to partisan objectives. The result is a familiar pattern: power politics driving the narrative, while true systemic accountability remains elusive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Sermon Notes: John 1:19-34 (I Am Not, but He Is) Please turn to the Gospel of John, chapter 1. We'll be considering verses 19-34 this morning. As you are turning there, let me say that the Gospel of John is a beautiful literary work. Greek scholars marvel at its elegance. Its words are simple, yet it has a depth of poetic beauty in how its themes are interwoven. And because of that, the Gospel of John speaks to both those with little or no background in the Christian faith as well as to those who have studied the Scriptures their whole lives. · On one level, the apostle John makes clear who Jesus is, what he has done, and why it matters. · And on another level, we are given profound theological insights in a rich literary form. We'll continue to see that as we work our way through the book. As I read, you will hear about John in these verses. This is referring to John the Baptist, not the apostle. Reading of John 1:19-34. Back in first grade, I was asked to give the opening comments for our first-grade play. That involved standing in front of the big curtain. I had a script which welcomed everyone, thanked the teachers, and gave a brief highlight of what they were about to see. The drama teacher told me multiple times to talk slowly and to keep my hands out of my pockets. Which of course, I forgot to do. But nonetheless, I did my part, and then the curtain opened and the play began. Well, the opening 18 verses of John's Gospel are like the prologue to a play. They set the stage for what is to come. We're given the book's background and themes and we're introduced to the main character. As we've studied, verses 1-18 speak of Christ's divine nature as creator and as the light of the world. We were also introduced to John the Baptist who bore witness to the light. We were told of what it means to believe. And then last week, we learned that the Word of God has come to us in the flesh, in the person of Jesus. And when he came, God displayed his glory and grace. All of that was introductory. And as we now get to verse 19, the curtain opens. We don't just hear about Jesus, but we are given story after story of his life and ministry. To say it in another way, verses 1-18 are the theological treatise for the book… and verses 19 to the very end are the historical witness of the book. John makes the upfront argument that Jesus is God in the flesh and that salvation is found in him, and then from verse 19 on, he shows us that this is true by showing us Jesus' life and ministry. Speaking of a prologue, that was my prologue for this sermon. Two points this morning. You can see them in your bulletin. Point number 1: I am not …and point number 2: But he is I am not, but he is. John the Baptist very clearly states that he is not the Christ, but he, that is Jesus, is. 1. I Am Not So, #1. I am not. Let me begin with a little context. It mentions here that John the Baptist was in the town of Bethany… specifically it's just beyond the Jordan River. This is a different town than the other Bethany which was near Jerusalem just over the Mount of Olives. This one was much farther away. It would have taken a day or two to travel there by foot. And in Bethany, John had attracted a crowd and a following. And one of the things he was doing was baptizing. Well, despite the distance, that caused a stir in Jerusalem. News reached the ears of the Jewish leaders, and so, as we read, they sent a delegate. They had two main questions: who are you? (verse 19) and why are you baptizing (verse 25)? John does answer both questions, but he does it in a way that redirects them away from himself and to Christ. I learned something interesting this week. There are people today who believe that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet. They not only venerate John the Baptist, you know, worship him in a way… but they also reject Jesus as the Messiah. Now, it's a relatively small group, several thousand. They live on the border of modern day Iraq and Iran. Their recorded history goes back to the 300s, so they've been around a while. And it's very possible that their roots go all the way back to the 1st century when this book was written. You see, one reason why the apostle John writes these things, is to make absolutely clear (1) who John the Baptist was and wasn't and (2) who Jesus is. And he quotes John the Baptist's words. · He was not the prophet Elijah. Yes, he came in the spirit of Elijah – but he was not Elijah in the flesh. The Jews expected Elijah to return. · He also makes clear that he was not “the prophet.” That is likely a reference to Moses or even the greater Prophet who was to come after Moses, namely Christ. John denies that as well. But most importantly, in verse 20 – he states unequivocally that he is not the Christ. He is not the promised Savior who was to come. In the Greek, it's the phrase “ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ὁ χριστός.” I am not the Christ. By the way, “ἐγὼ εἰμὶ” in the Greek is the phrase “I am.” It's the same Greek words that Jesus used in his “I am” statements throughout the book. I am the light of the world. I am the vine. I am the great shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep, etc. And so when John the Baptist says he is not the Christ, it is in part setting up the rest of the narrative in the book. Who is Jesus? He is the Christ - the promised Savior. A few years ago, a friend of mine passed away. He had a sudden heart attack. He was a single guy in his 40s, so he wasn't that old. Vocationally he was a nurse, but interestingly he had also been to seminary. He was a great guy. He loved to participate in ministry and mission work including medical missions. He also had a great Scottish accent. He was originally from the Isle of Skye. As one of his pastors I went to the funeral home shortly after they received his body. I was there with a close friend of his. And I learned something about him that I didn't know before. On his chest, he had a tatoo. It was a Greek phrase. “ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ὁ χριστός.” I am not the Christ. You see, he had been so moved by this verse in John 1, that he wanted to remind himself each day in the mirror who he was not and to whom he should direct people. He was not the Christ… he was not his own savior nor a savior for others, but he had a savior who has come. That is what John the Baptist was doing in these verses. He was redirecting people away from himself and to Jesus. I count 6 times in these verses where John redirects people away from himself and to Christ. No, I am not him but let me tell you and show you who he is. A couple of examples are found in his further answers to the delegation. By the way, they were very persistent, as we read. They asked him, ok, then if you are not Elijah nor the prophet nor Christ, then who are you and why are you baptizing? · First, John answers who he was. He quotes the prophet Isaiah. He says, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,'” You see, Isaiah had prophesied that one would come. This prophet's very purpose was to prepare the way for the Messiah. John was saying that he is that one. His whole ministry was to direct people to Christ. It was to prepare the people for the arrival of the Lord. · And second, John answered why he was baptizing. His answer also revealed Christ. Verse 31 makes that clear. John said, “I came baptizing with water that he might be revealed to Israel.” Here's what that means. John's baptism was about calling people to repentance and warning them about judgment. The water symbolized the cleansing that they needed. It showed them that they needed God to truly cleanse them… and it reminded them that a Savior was promised who would bear their judgment. By the way, this is why we don't connect John's baptism with the baptism that Jesus established. · #1, John's baptism was a ceremonial cleansings from the old covenant. That's why the delegate was asking him why he was baptizing since he was not Elijah nor the prophet. · #2. John's baptism was not done in the name of Jesus nor the Trinity as Jesus directed. It was very different. · #3 …perhaps the clearest reason. In the book of Acts, chapter 19, some of John the Baptists disciples were living in Ephesus. They had only been baptized into John's baptism. The apostle Paul explained to them that John's baptism was only a baptism of repentance. So, John's disciples were then baptized into Jesus' baptism – that is, into the new covenant baptism in Jesus' name. To say it again, John's baptism was to prepare the people's hearts for the coming of Christ. They needed to see their need for a Savior and repent. Ok, to summarize main point #1: John's identity in these verses is directly related to Christ, both in the negative and the positive. The negative - I am not him. And the positive - the very purpose of my life is to point people to him. And point to him, he does. 2. But He Is Which bring us to #2. But He Is John is not the Christ, as he says, and implicit in that statement is that the one to whom John directs people is the Christ. Look at verse 29. This is a new subsection. We read that it's now the very next day. The previous day, John had been answering the delegation about who he was not and that his purpose was to direct people to the Lord. But now, Jesus has come to John. And with absolute clarity, John gives witness to who Jesus is. Look how John describes Jesus in 29. He says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” Remember, the apostle John's primary audience was Jewish. When they read or heard this, they would have no questions about its meaning. Jesus is identified as the sacrificial lamb, whom God sent to atone for the sin of the world. Sacrificing lambs had been part of their annual Passover celebration. Back when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, the very last command that God gave them was to sacrifice a lamb. They were to put its blood over their doorpost. And if they did that, the angel of death would pass over them and spare their firstborn. And the angel did spare them. But the Egyptians were not spared. And so Pharaoh released the Israelites from their bondage. Every year they were to celebrate their deliverance from Egypt by sacrificing a lamb. It was both a remembrance of God's deliverance out of Egypt, and a foreshadowing of the deliverance from sin that God would accomplish for them through the Messiah. So here, John the Baptist testifies that Jesus is that sacrificial Lamb – He's the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world… Now, you may be asking, Why is a Lamb of God needed? Why a sacrifice? That is a critical question. As we work our way through the book, the answer will become clear. But in the meantime, let me try to briefly answer. You see, in the heart of each and every human is a rebellion against God and against our fellow man. We see and experience this every day. We see and experience deceit, and anger, and betrayal. Evil exists in many forms – oppression, rape, and murder. And truthfully, if we just search our own hearts, we know our own selfishness and bitterness and desires for that which is not ours. All of those things fall under Scripture's category of sin. Over the years, I've had conversations with friends and family about the truth of Christianity. They've brought up good questions. For example, they've asked, if God really exists or if Christianity is really true, then why is there so much evil in the world. It's a very important question. I've usually respond that Christianity's view of the world includes a very clear understanding of evil and sin. I believe Christianity is true, in part, because it answers the questions of evil… it answers other life questions as well like meaning and morality and existence… including the difficult things in life and our rebellious hearts. Sometimes that will be followed up with the question. But if God is as you say he is, then why doesn't he do anything about it? About the evil and sin… He has. He's sent a Lamb. And that Lamb is Christ, and as John the Baptist says in verse 34, he is the Son of God. He sacrificed himself to deliver us not from the bondage of Egypt, but from the bondage of sin and the corruption of the world. The reason that a sacrifice was necessary goes all the way back to the beginning of the Bible. The very first command that God gave was to not eat of that which was forbidden. And the consequence of doing so was death. We cannot escape the consequences of sin. Those consequences include death and separation from God and his judgment. But God sent his Lamb to be sacrificed on our behalf. As the author of Hebrews puts it, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. And so, when John sees Jesus, he calls him the Lamb of God and as the Son of God. John furthermore testifies that even though he came before Jesus, yet Jesus ranked before him because Jesus was before him. John had said earlier that he was not even worthy to untie Jesus' sandals. That was one of the most lowly of jobs reserved for a servant. John was saying that he wasn't even worthy to do that. Jesus' worthiness so far exceeds our unworthiness. Yet he has come to us. Let me note one more thing about John's testimony. These verses say that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit. John's baptism was a baptism of repentance, but Jesus' baptism is a baptism of the heart. By the way, this is talking about true baptism – not the outward sign like you saw earlier this morning, but baptism of the heart when we receive the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ. And the reason that we can receive the Spirit of God from Christ, is because God's Spirit remains on Christ. Did you notice that phrase used twice? The Holy Spirit descended and remained on him. It indicates God the Father anointing Jesus as King. In the Old Testament, God's Spirit would rest upon God's anointed kings. But God's Spirt would leave when that King departed from God's way, like he did for King Saul. That is why King David prayed in Psalm 51, Lord, take not your Holy Spirit from me. In other words, do not remove your hand of Spiritual blessing on my kingship. May your Spirit remain on me as king of your people despite my sin. By the way, this Holy Spirit anointing of kings is different from the Spirit's work in the hearts of believers… old and new. I just want to be clear about that. What John the Baptist was witnessing in verses 32-34 was God the Father anointing his Son through his Spirit. When it says that God's Spirit remained on Jesus, it was indicating Jesus' eternal kingship. Next week we'll see that title King given to him. And let me mention one more thing about chapter 1. Every single title for Jesus in the entire book of John is introduced in chapter 1. Jesus is the Word of God. He is Christ, the Lamb of God, the Son of God, the Messiah, He is Rabbi (which means Teacher), King of Israel, and the Son of Man. Some of those we'll come across next week. In other words, this whole chapter bears witness to who Jesus is. Besides John the Baptist and the apostle John, God the Father and the Holy Spirit also bear witness to him. He is the Christ - Lamb of God and Son of God who takes away the sin of the world. I am not, but he Is. Application and Conclusion In Southern California, there's a very interesting solar power facility. It's in the Mojave Desert. It's different because it does not use a single solar panel. No, instead, this facility uses mirrors that direct the rays of the sun to central boilers. The boilers are super-heated by the sunlight reflected off of the mirrors. That causes the water boil, which creates steam, which then turns turbines, and which then generates power. There are 347,000 mirrors there. And as the sun moves across the sky, they all reposition themselves to keep the light shining on one place. Friends, you and I are not the Christ. No, but we are to reflect him and direct others to him. Like John the Baptist, we are to believe the Lamb of God for others to see. We are to testify that he has come to take away the sin of the world. We are to exalt Christ, witnessing to him in all the ways highlighted here. We are in a sense to be like mirrors that direct others to Jesus. And when we all work in concert, God is glorified and Christ is exalted. When people see us individually, they see him. And when people see a church whose members reflect Christ, they will see him. I would argue that our number one responsibility is to show forth Christ. It's tempting to have our number one focus be on other things. I am not saying that we should not have careers or serve our communities in different ways or have opinions about important matters. But if any of that puts the spotlight on us rather than Christ or if it overshadows our witness to him, then we are not fulfilling our responsibility to reveal him. So, May we each recognize that we are not our own savior, nor the savior of others. We are not the Christ… but Jesus is. May we, like John, direct others to him, the Lamb of God, who is the Son of God and Savior of the world. Amen

The Money Mindset Shift Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs There are more men named John running Fortune 500 companies than there are women. Total. Let that sink in for a second. That's just one of the things Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, dropped in this episode that made me go, wait, what? She went from being told she was "too girly for Wall Street" to becoming one of the most trusted voices in personal finance. And the way she breaks down money will make you rethink everything you thought you knew. We get into why women who are crushing it in business still let their money sit in a savings account earning 0.39%, the simple equation that tells you whether something is actually worth buying, why women fight over 2% of the pie when there's 98% sitting right there, and how to stop working around the clock and let your money do the work instead. Vivian also gets real about running her business at a sprint pace for years and what she's doing to finally build something sustainable. This is the money conversation I wish I had ten years ago.

Your dry cleaning bill should not be on your business credit card. This protects you and sets you up to scale. 2️⃣ Stop Letting Your Money Sit in a Savings Account – A regular savings account earns you almost nothing. Once you have your emergency fund set, your money should be working for you through investments. Your labor earns you capital. Your capital makes you rich. 3️⃣ Value Purchases in Time, Not Dollars – Before you buy something, divide the cost by your hourly take-home pay. That $100 pair of yoga pants might cost you five hours of work. Is it worth it? This simple equation helps you spend strategically and without guilt.

Trace's story starts long before Konala. As a child, nutrition played a critical role in helping him overcome serious health challenges, shaping how he thinks about food, discipline, and long-term well-being. That perspective eventually led him from running a food truck to building Konala, a drive-thru protein bowl concept designed for people who want to eat better without slowing down their lives. Throughout the conversation, Trace shares how family support has been foundational to his journey, why patience is one of the most underrated skills in both parenting and business, and how he stays present with his kids while scaling a brand. He also opens up about personal growth, continuous learning, and what it takes to build a business that actually solves a real problem. This episode is a reminder that success does not have to come at the expense of health or family. With the right values and intention, you can build something meaningful while still showing up for the people who matter most. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together.

Today I'm sharing my second conversation with writer and astrologer Erin Kelley.We tell our personal (and planetary) stories of loss, seduction, codependency, and people-pleasing — as we explore how mid-life transits can become portals to authentic intimacy.We also discuss Erin's Slow Magick practice and how to change your life in sacred time. As soon as I started to do the deep work… it changed how I was in my relationships. Once I was able to show up in a different way and be intimate in a whole new experience — that freedom of expression showed me how: “Oh no sweetie, you weren't just codependent in your romantic relationships. That shit was everywhere.” — Erin Kelley we discuss —the power of a second actmid-life transits as portals for transformationending cycles of Self-abandonmentstarting over after loss of love, job, money, everythingNeptune's illusions and delusionsthe tension between the 1st house of Self and the 7th house of Otherreleasing codependence and people-pleasingwhat committed partnership really meansthe devotional practice of Slow Magickthe pleasure of stepping into the Moment LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Business as Initiation, grace on an episode of Off the GridListen to grace on Erin's podcast The Nature of Invisible Things More about our guest —Slow Magick websiteSlow Magick on IGSlow Magick on SubstackDevotional Astrology & Tarot - A heart-centered experience of the stars and cards grounded in everyday life Mentioned in the episode—Burn through your unworthiness and ignite your innate erotic power.

You can be a successful agent on paper and still feel exhausted, scattered, and behind every single day. If you're quietly battling real estate agent stress, feeling the weight of real estate agent exhaustion, or wondering how long you can keep running your business this way, this episode is for you.

Jim shares why this pattern isn't caused by laziness or lack of talent — it's caused by the absence of intentional real estate systems that bring structure, clarity, and accountability to your day.Instead of working from clarity, most agents fall into chaos — reacting to emails, chasing deals, and letting their calendar control their life. Jim explains why real estate systems aren't about cramping your style… they're about creating freedom, leverage, and long-term sustainability. If you want to stop living in survival mode and start avoiding burnout in real estate, this conversation will reshape how you think about your schedule, your standards, and your stewardship.Jim walks through his practical real estate systems and frameworks to help agents bring structure, accountability, and consistency into their daily routines.You'll also learn why accountability is the missing link for so many Christian agents dealing with real estate agent mental health struggles. From treating yourself like a $500,000 employee to measuring productivity through participation, Jim explains how to build habits that compound over time. If you want real estate systems that support work-life balance, faith-aligned success, and predictable growth, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your business.This episode will help you rethink how to grow your business without real estate agent exhaustion or hustle culture guilt.If you're tired of reacting to your business instead of leading it, this episode will show you how to prevent real estate burnout using proven real estate systems that bring clarity, discipline, and freedom back into your life.You'll Learn:The Five Non-Negotiables for daily structure and clarityThe 4-1-1-1 model for consistent lead generationWhy most agents get stuck at 10–20 transactions a yearHow to reduce real estate agent stress and exhaustionHow to prevent burnout without sacrificing family timeRelated Episode: 142 | Why Having a Dynamic Listing and Buyer Presentation is Important w/Jim RemleyConnect w/ Jim - https://erealestatecoach.comResources & Opportunities:
