They never forgot their past. Moses never forgot how he killed a man in a fit of anger. Paul never forgot how he had savaged the Church of God. Matthew never forgot how, as a tax collector for the Roman Empire, he was considered a traitor to his people. But God forgot their past. He forgave all their sins and called them to proclaim his mercy. Christians are sinners whom God has mercifully called. Only mercy can explain why Jesus brings people to faith and promises them salvation. Only grace can explain how he calls them to serve as they are able, even in the ministry of the gospel.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about one of the heaviest and least discussed burdens in first responder work: the decisions that cannot be undone, the calls that replay on a loop, and the weight of outcomes that live permanently in the mind (Amazon Affiliate) of the person who was there. Every first responder carries them. The split-second choice that went wrong. The moment where a different decision might have changed everything. The call that ended in a way no one wanted. This episode does not offer easy answers — because there are none. But it does offer something most first responders never get: an honest, direct conversation about what it means to carry something you cannot put down and cannot go back and change.

There's something powerful about saying things out loud. Notice where you feel free to speak your mind and organize your thoughts. . . And where you are more measured and cautious about how you speak. Do you have a work challenge you'd like the talk through? This June, I'm opening my calendar to meet with listeners. We'll talk through one problem you want help with. The conversations will be recorded, to share in a future episode.Find a time here:https://calendly.com/kimnicol/podcast-guest...After the EpisodeSee all of my upcoming classes:https://maven.com/kimnicol~Free download: Make Feedback Meaningfulhttps://maven.com/p/e36395/make-feedback-meaningful-print-fold-zine~Follow me on LinkedIn:⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnicol/⁠⁠~Get in touch to discuss private coaching:https://kimnicol.com/

"Don't sit around waiting to feel motivated. You take some little actions, and that often gives you the motivation and the momentum to move forward." Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down to work through a HerMoney.com list of ten things to do when retirement is a decade away. The meta-lesson turns out to be bigger than any single item on it! The list, from Jean Chatzky's financial information service for women, gives them a useful scaffold, but what they keep returning to is the paralysis that keeps so many people from starting at all. Planning for retirement can feel like pushing a stone uphill; getting moving makes it roll the other way. The list items themselves span the practical and the personal. Test-drive potential retirement destinations before committing. Tackle home repairs now, while you still have a paycheck. Start volunteering, not just to give back but to road-test how you'll spend your time when work no longer fills it. On the financial side: understand what Medicare actually covers (spoiler: not dental, vision, or long-term care). Build your HSA if you're eligible. Track down old 401(k)s and check the beneficiaries on every account. Create your Social Security account online and verify your earnings record for errors. And on claiming age, Kevin pushes back on the blanket advice to "always wait" because Social Security strategy depends on how it fits the rest of your specific plan. The bonus tip says it all: say it out loud. Telling people you're planning to retire creates accountability. It makes the stone easier to push!   Key Topics: ●      Trying Out Retirement Destinations (04:24) ●      Home Repairs, Renovations, and Aging in Place (07:21) ●      Volunteering: A Test Drive for Your Time (12:02) ●      Reclaiming Your Calendar… and Your Identity (13:35) ●      Healthcare Costs, Medicare Myths, and HSAs (16:52) ●      Building a Social Network Outside the Office (21:04) ●      Checking In on Pensions and Old 401(k)s (25:30) ●      Why the 10-Year Mark Is the Right Time to Find a Financial Planner (27:21) ●      Social Security: "Wait" Is Not a One-Size-Fits-All Answer (29:33) ●      Creating Your Social Security Account (and Checking Your Earnings Record) (31:02) ●      Say It Out Loud (32:22)   Resources: Retirement Readiness Quiz: https://www.aarp.org/money/retirement/readiness-quiz/ The 5 Years Before You Retire and other books by Emily Guy Birken: https://www.emilyguybirken.com/books HerMoney.com Article Discussed in this Episode: https://hermoney.com/invest/10-things-you-should-do-when-retirement-is-10-years-away/   Take Back Retirement Episodes Referenced: Making Your Own Story: Finding Meaning After 50 with Diane Gansauer Redefining Retirement: Finding Your Creative Voice Through Comedy with Lynn Harris The Challenges and Opportunities of Defining Your Identity in Retirement with Elizabeth Parsons Practicing for Retirement: Balancing Creative Pursuits and Financial Planning with Mary Jo Hoffman Simplifying Medicare: What's Important For You To Know with Susan Sloan Cultivating Creative Connections for Lifelong Wellness with Claire Waite Brown Getting the Most from Social Security: Smart Strategies for Women with Heather Schreiber Smarter Social Security: Getting What's Yours Without Panicking   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 2 - Our root problem is sin, full stop. But since only Jesus can forgive sin, why should we confess our sins to one another? James clearly taught that this was a necessary discipline. In this message, we'll see why.

“Let's just say it out loud,” Keith Teare, publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter, says. “AI is not dangerous.” Not all of you will agree. I'm certainly not so sure. But the gruff Yorkshireman is convinced that AI can only benefit humanity. For him, with his scientific faith in historical progress, today's AI revolution is a glorious combination of the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution. The only danger, he warns, is the belief in danger itself. Thus his criticism of Anthropic's Dario Amodei, who has been quite explicit about AI's dangers — and for whom the doom narrative is, in Keith's reading at least, designed as a business strategy to solicit governmental backing without government control. AI Is Not Dangerous. Repeat it. Take your ideological medicine. As if you're in a Silicon Valley seminary. Sing it out loud. As if you're in a Methodist choir. Believe it now? Five Takeaways •       The Economist's “Lowlife” Moment: Keith's editorial was triggered by The Economist's forty-five-minute video on the five men running AI — the title alone, “How to Control the Men Who Control AI,” was enough. Why would The Economist think it could control them? And why focus on the personalities rather than the technology, the applications, or the actual human impact? Judging the AI industry by its CEOs is like judging a film by the leading actor's personality rather than the script or the performances. It's the wrong focus — and in Keith's view, a low one for a publication that should know better. The cult of personality is a media creation, feeding on controversy because controversy sells subscriptions. •       AI Is Not Dangerous. Full Stop. Keith's boldest claim: AI is not dangerous — not a little, not potentially, not in the wrong hands. The doom narrative is a media-driven frenzy, fed by CEOs who give it too much airtime and by a readymade audience of Americans whose well-founded economic pessimism makes them receptive to negative messages. The Stanford AI Index Report shows that America is the country where AI is trusted least — paradoxically, also the country where media has the greatest influence. In China, people trust AI more, not because the government tells them to, but because economic progress gives them reasons for optimism. You get what you pay for. •       Amodei's Pitch Disguised as Science: Keith's reading of Dario Amodei's doom narrative: it is a business strategy. The message — AI might kill us all, AI might make us all unemployed — is not a scientific assessment. It's a pitch for Anthropic specifically: if AI is this dangerous, you can't let anyone else control it, so trust us and give us government backing without government oversight. Contrast with Demis Hassabis, who acknowledges risk and then immediately explains what he's doing about it — taking responsibility rather than pointing the finger. And contrast with Zuckerberg, who Keith describes as sociopathic: “whatever serves my interest is gonna come out of my mouth at any given moment.” •       Consensus Capital and the Winner-Take-All Endgame: Keith's post of the week: 75% of all venture capital raised goes to five funds, and 75% of all VC investment goes into five companies. Noah Smith's piece on winner-take-all AI makes the same point from a different angle: linear extrapolation suggests two, maybe five, companies end up with all the money and power. This is what capitalism does — many car companies became a handful, many banks became a handful. AI will produce the same centralisation, but at unprecedented scale and across every domain simultaneously. The question — how does society benefit? — is the most important question of the era. Altman and Musk at least try to answer it. The others don't. •       Manifest Agency. Lean In. Keith's advice to young people who distrust AI: get involved and shape it, because the alternative is to be a victim of whatever outcome arrives without you. AI is valid and inevitable. The question is what influence you have over it, and the answer is: more than you think, but only if you exercise it. Musk and Altman, for all their faults, are two people who do care — and who talk about UBI and universal high income because they understand that the winner-take-all endgame raises genuine questions about distribution. The Sophie Haigney argument — that all the worst people want to be high-agency — has it backwards. A world without agency is a world where elected officials are accountable to no one. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and the publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter — a daily curation of the most important stories at the intersection of technology, business, and culture. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and a long-time interlocutor on Keen On America. References: •       That Was the Week newsletter by Keith Teare — this week's editorial: “The Cult of Personality.” •       “How to Control the Men Who Control AI,” The Economist, April 2026. The video that triggered Keith's editorial. •       “I Don't Think Sam Altman Lies,” by Stewart Alsop — the piece that started the conversation. •       John Thornhill, “AI Has an Awful Image Problem,” Financial Times, April 2026. •       Noah Smith, “What If a Few AI Companies End Up with All the Money and Power?” — the winner-take-all argument. •       Episode 2873: Agency, Agency, Agency — Sophie Haigney on the A-word that Keith takes issue with this week. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters:

I cried before recording this. Because this episode isn't theory It's personal. This episode is about the moments we swallow our feelings to keep the peace. The times we tell ourselves we're fine when we're not. The little girl within us who learned that being low-maintenance was safer than being honest.In this conversation, I share what it looks like to finally acknowledge your emotions — not as weakness, not as drama — but as responsibility.Emotional ownership isn't loud. It's quiet. It's uncomfortable.Feel it. Name it. Heal it.We talk about triggers, patterns, inner child wounds, and what it really means to show up for yourself instead of abandoning yourself for approval.This episode cracked something open in me. If you've ever struggled to say what you really feel — this one might crack something open in you too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Now you know what to do to make someone randomly smile

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this article, Dana reveals the primary reason moms struggle to hit their goals: isolation. Despite being constantly surrounded by people, moms are silently battling guilt, self-doubt, and internal conflict about whether they're making the right choices. She introduces a powerful framework (Speak, Find, See, Hope, Reflect, Achieve) that breaks the cycle of isolation and cures mom guilt by getting you to say things out loud, find your circles of understanding, and realize you're not alone in your struggles. From learning how to receive without constantly proving your worth to understanding that wanting more doesn't make you selfish, Dana shows you how clarity and freedom come from breaking the silence. You don't need to have it all figured out, you just need to stop isolating yourself and start saying the things you've been keeping silent.

Say It Out Loud With Words Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The key to a successful pitch is to articulate all the values in the deal. This doesn't mean explaining how the product works in great detail This also doesn't mean spending half your allotted pitch time trying to convince the audience that diabetes is a problem. It does mean, however, that every value that has come into the startup is noted in the pitch deck with at least a logo or a bullet point. The rule of pitching is that if you don't mention it, then it doesn't exist. Here's a list to consider adding to the pitch deck: All funding sources to date, including angels, angel groups, grants, VC funds, and more. All partners, team members, and others who have contributed to building the startup. Any exits and positive outcomes for startups led by the team. All customers who have bought the product or given feedback. Include a logo for each one somewhere in the pitch deck. Investors look for evidence that investors, customers, and partners are supporting you. For each value, say it out loud with words. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

What if your perfectionism isn't a flaw — it's a survival strategy?In this episode of Say It Out Loud, Vasavisits down with the brilliant and unfiltered Béa Albina — UCSF-trained nurse practitioner, somatic experiencing practitioner, master certified life coach, and author of End Emotional Outsourcing.Together, they unpack why so many high-achieving women are still trapped in people-pleasing cycles, how our nervous systems are wired for self-abandonment, and why “just breathe” isn't always the answer.Béa breaks down the science behind Emotional Outsourcing — her term for the unconscious ways we hand our power, peace, and self-worth to everyone but ourselves — and how to finally come home to your body, your truth, and your voice.If you've ever said yes when you meant no, this episode is your wake-up call.Connect with Béa: Instagram → @beatrizvictoriaalbinanp Book → End Emotional Outsourcing (out September 2025) Website → beatrizalbina.comConnect with Vasavi: Instagram → @mynameisvasavi | Learn more → vasavikumar.comSend us Fan Mail Support the showResources + Links Join The Out Loud SchoolExplore more of my workRead my book, Say It Out Loud

In today's episode, I sit down with Vasavi Kumar, licensed therapist, mindset coach and author of Say It Out Loud, who's redefining what it means to show up authentically online. Vasavi brings raw honesty about overcoming visibility wounds, speaking with certainty and conviction, and why the "do it anyway" mindset is the only way through. This conversation will completely shift how you think about visibility, content creation, and what it really means to be seen.

This is a re-air from Emily Hirsh's Embodied Marketing Podcast. We go deep on speaking with certainty without being mean, why conviction builds trust, and how I grew 41,000 followers in 60 days by making content feel like art, not obligation. I share my scripting and teleprompter process so you never sound robotic, how I batch on the couch to stay consistent, and the brain and nervous system science behind talking out loud so your message actually lands.You'll hear: • Direct vs polarizing and why certainty sells • Teleprompter and scripting secrets that still sound human • Batching, repurposing, and repeating winners without burning out • Mirror work, self-talk, and the neuroscience of being seenSend us Fan Mail Support the showResources + Links Join The Out Loud SchoolExplore more of my workRead my book, Say It Out Loud

What does it take to choose passion every single time, even when it's uncomfortable? In this episode, we sit down with Kara, a woman who has spent her life following one unwavering voice: the one that tells her when something isn't alive enough, passionate enough, worth it enough. She's left Google. She's left the presidency of Starface. She's moved her family to Italy. Not because things were falling apart, but because they weren't lit up enough. This is a conversation about living for the feeling. About refusing to settle for work, environments, or choices that don't serve you. About the discomfort of pivoting away from what looks good on paper toward what actually makes you feel alive. And about what it costs to live this way, and why it's worth it. Kara doesn't just talk about passion as a nice idea. She builds her life around it. She protects it. She keeps choosing it, over and over again, even when everything else is pulling her toward safety and stability. For anyone who's learning to trust that voice, the one that says "this isn't it, but that is," this conversation will remind you why it matters to keep listening. -------------------------------------------------------- Where to Find Kara Brothers -Instagram: @karabrothers -YouTube Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@sayit.outloud -Say It Out Loud; available audio only on all platforms as well -Community: For The Play Collective or 1:1 Coaching Opportunities - Shoot her a note at kara@playcollective.co -Newsletter sign-up: https://substack.com/@sayitoutloudnow ------------------------------------------------------- Ready to stop living life on autopilot and start designing it intentionally? - **The Shop:** Discover exclusive tools, curated workshops, and guides for the radical woman ready to step fully into her power. - https://www.charliestoolbox.com/shop - **Substack Newsletter:** Read deep dives and stories about women choosing themselves, money, self-trust, and building power outside of old systems. - https://charliestoolbox.substack.com/ - **Website:** Find more resources, learn about our methodology, and explore all our offerings in one place. https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ - **The Podcast:** Listen to real conversations with women who've built lives beyond approval, expectation, and limits. - https://charliestoolbox.podbean.com/ - **Take the Free Assessment:** Learn where you are on your decentering men journey. - https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/68b71e8eeb218c0015ec5c4f Your sovereignty is your foundation.

After a few months off the mic, I'm back!!!! Not to explain the gap, but to talk about what actually changed while I was living instead of broadcasting.In this episode, I share what building The Out Loud School has been teaching me about voice, leadership, and showing up in real-time. I talk about navigating grief after losing my dad, and how that cracked open new layers of honesty and softness in my life. I also get into the connection between love and money — worthiness, receiving, letting yourself be supported — and how doing that inner untangling has made life and business feel more spacious and more fun.This isn't a “comeback,” it's a continuation. A reminder that visibility isn't about constant output. It's about being rooted in who you are when you do choose to speak.If you're in a season of becoming, integrating, or reclaiming your voice on your own timeline, this one will land.

The words we say reveal what is on our minds, but also continually shape them, impacting others and ourselves. This message will teach us to be careful with words and how saying those of God out loud can help transform our hearts and minds. Speaker: Kyle Idleman

Hello to you listening in Tokyo, Japan!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My parents were 1st generation Americans. Their parents came from Poland seeking better opportunities. Like so many others, my maternal grandfather had grown up on a farm and sailed to America when he was in his teens.Over the years he forged metal in factories, fabricated refrigerator coils, drove a city bus, and taught himself how to oil paint. I treasure a few pieces of his art work reflecting his love of land.    My grandfather used to say about tomorrow: “I'm like a fellow pushing a wheelbarrow. Why? Everything is still in front of me!”  Even in the most difficult times I repeat his line to find some hope to carry on as he did.Story Prompt: What favorite line do you recall from someone you love? When you repeat it to yourself how does it make you feel? Write that story and tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Let's get one thing straight: Women aren't quiet because they lack confidence. They're quiet because the culture taught them it's safer that way.In this episode of Say It Out Loud, I'm breaking down why “just speak up” is some of the laziest, most surface-level advice given to women in corporate spaces — and why it completely misses the point.Visibility isn't a confidence issue. It's a culture issue. And culture is shaped by leadership, not by how loud someone speaks in a meeting.I'm diving into: 

Send us a textWhat invisible force makes us more likely to follow through on our commitments when we share them with others? The Clean Your F*cking House team dives deep into the psychology of accountability and how declaring intentions transforms abstract goals into concrete actions.When Kevin announced his plan to order business cards for his coaching practice, he found himself scrambling at the last minute before our recording – not because anyone would punish him, but because "I didn't want to let you guys down." This simple yet profound motivation unlocks a key insight about human behavior: we're far more driven by social commitments than personal ones.The science backs this up. Your chance of achieving a goal jumps from 10% to 20% simply by telling someone about it. As we check in on last week's declarations – from Kevin's business materials to Lou's walking routine and Nancy's weight training – we witness this accountability effect in real-time, complete with the stumbles, adaptations, and victories that make goal-setting a deeply human experience.We explore practical strategies for making accountability work in your life: attaching new habits to existing routines, starting with manageable commitments, and choosing accountability partners whose opinion genuinely matters to you. Even when we fall short of our declared intentions, the very act of sharing them creates momentum that wouldn't exist otherwise.Whether you're trying to build a fitness routine, launch a side business, or finally tackle that project you've been avoiding, the simple act of declaring your intention to someone you respect might be the missing ingredient. Listen as we make fresh declarations for the coming week, then join us by making your own commitment and experiencing the accountability effect yourself.

Junksters, where the hell you been loca? It's our first week of Robert Pattimonth! This time we are watching ANY movie from the Twilight Saga. We discuss the amazing wonder that is vampires sparkling and holding tight Spidered Monkey.
