He explains how studying with Joe Paquet and participating in plein air events around the country shaped his love for landscape, urban scenes, and especially nocturnes, which he believes are often easier and faster to paint than daytime scenes due to their homogeneous darks and clear value transitions. Carl discusses his use of the rule of thirds and his approach to composition, often reimagining scenes—like his piece Hotel Laguna Nocturne—in the studio to adjust skies, colors, and clouds for stronger visual impact. Carl also tells us about his use of the prismatic palette, rooted in the teachings of Frank Vincent DuMond, and how understanding prismatic color shifts and subtle gradations helps create convincing light, atmosphere, and distance. Finally, Carl offers advice on building an art career through instruction, plein air competitions, galleries, networking, and social media, emphasizing saying yes to opportunities, maintaining an active studio practice, and cultivating community with other artists.Carl's FASO site:carlbretzke.comCarl's Social Media:instagram.com/carlbretzkeartfacebook.com/carl.bretzke.3Carl's Videos:Instructional Videos

What happens when the person you love most goes quiet—not yelling, not fighting, just... gone?In this episode, Todd Creager addresses one of the most painful patterns in relationships: silent punishment. It's not always intentional. You've been hurt, so you pull back. You turn away. You go cold. It feels like self-protection, but to your partner, it feels like rejection.Todd shares the story of Ken and Terry, a couple stuck in a cycle where defensiveness led to withdrawal, and withdrawal led to loneliness. Terry stopped trying because Ken kept dismissing her feelings. Ken felt alone because Terry stopped reaching out. Both were protecting themselves—and both were suffering.The turning point? Terry did something small but significant. Instead of leaving the room during their next argument, she stayed. She sat on the couch with her back turned, still struggling, but physically present. That one act of silent presence—not silent treatment—opened the door for their first honest, soft moment in months.Todd explains why conflict doesn't always need to be solved through talking. Sometimes connection starts in the body. The silent cold shoulder feels like control. Silent presence feels like repair. When you stay in the room—not to punish, but to witness—you're telling your partner: I'm still here. I'm still open.This episode offers practical guidance on recognizing when you're withdrawing as punishment versus self-protection, and how to use non-verbal communication to repair your relationship. Todd walks you through what it looks like to let your body say "I'm still here" when your words can't.

As followers of Christ, we must be willing to say NO, especially when correcting injustices we encounter in life. When Jesus saw injustice in the temple, He took extreme action. By following His example, we learn how and when to Say Yes to Saying NO. Mark 11: 15-19 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

What if the preparation you do now determines the purpose you walk in next? In this timely and challenging message, Pastor George Sawyer reminds us that God works on His calendar, not ours, and December is not a time to coast, but a season to prepare. It's not June. It's not too late. God is still positioning hearts, healing wounds, and aligning lives for what's ahead in 2026.Drawing from Luke 1, this message unpacks Mary's encounter with the angel and the power of a surrendered “yes” to God. Through personal testimony and biblical insight, Pastor Sawyer shows how restoration, obedience, and preparation are often the doorway to God's greatest assignments. You'll be challenged to examine your readiness, embrace God's timing, and trust that His promises unfold in the fullness of time.If you're seeking clarity, direction, or renewal as a new year approaches, this message will help you align with God's plan and prepare your heart for what He is ready to release.00:00 – Why December Matters for God's Plan02:09 – Testimony of Healing and Personal Restoration05:38 – Why God Restores Before He Assigns06:40 – Preparation Precedes Purpose08:07 – Mary's Encounter with the Angel (Luke 1)13:48 – Understanding God's Timing and Calendar22:48 – Free Will and God's Divine Plan25:46 – Choosing to Say Yes to God26:04 – The Fullness of Time in God's Promise27:51 – Mary's Yes and Its Lasting Impact28:18 – Joseph's Dilemma and Divine Direction30:22 – Purity, Obedience, and Preparation33:03 – Grace, Restoration, and Requalification34:56 – The Role of the Holy Spirit37:55 – Mary and Elizabeth: Power of Godly Community40:17 – Surrounding Yourself with the Right People42:39 – Preparing Your Heart for God's Promise46:12 – Closing Prayer and Worship

Have you ever been told that saying "no" makes you selfish? That good Christian women never rock the boat, always serve with a smile, and definitely do not have thoughts of their own?This episode is Part 2 of our Emotional Abuse 101 series, and today we're diving into the art of saying no.If the idea of saying no makes your stomach flip or sends you into a guilt spiral, this episode is your lifeline. I'll walk you through WHY it's so hard to say no and HOW to start saying it anyway with confidence and without apology.Key Takeaways:Saying no without guilt is an adult skill, not a rebellious sin. People-pleasing is often a trauma response. Your nervous system isn't broken. It's just been doing its job a little too well.You don't need permission to have boundaries. You're not waiting for anyone's approval. Boundaries ≠ controlling others. Boundaries = choosing how YOU respond when others misbehave.There's neuroscience behind this. Your brain can be rewired to feel safe even when saying no. Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereGet a FREE chapter of Is It ME?

On this episode of She Rises:We’re talking to the women who say yes before they’ve even taken a breath. The recovering people pleasers, peacekeepers, and approval-seekers who are finally ready to choose themselves first. In this episode, we walk you through the questions to ask before you say yes... the kind that protect your time, your peace, and your power. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between care and self-abandonment, how to say “no” with kindness (not guilt), and how to check in with your body before you overcommit your soul. Because boundaries aren’t rejection; they’re self-respect in action.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How Choice Makes People Say Yes FasterThe final episode of The Care Plan Paradox.Most chiropractors think offering choices makes them look uncertain.In reality, it makes people commit faster.In the final episode of The Care Plan Paradox, Martin Harvey breaks down why bounded choice — not authority — is what creates trust, commitment and follow-through in care plans.You'll learn:– why people resist strong recommendations, even when they're right– how “forced choice” triggers reactance– what behavioural science and Galinsky's research say about giving 2–3 good options– why autonomy increases adherence– how to structure care plan options so they all work clinically– how to offer payment options without feeling salesy– and the exact phrases that make people feel in control while following your leadIf Episodes 1 and 2 explained why care plans matter, Episode 3 explains how to help people say yes to the plan that will actually help them change.This wraps up the Care Plan Paradox mini-series — but the ideas here will shape how you communicate recommendations forever.To learn more about the "Guardrails: How to Keep Patients on Track When Life Gets Busy" Webinar https://www.tickettailor.com/events/scotlandcollegecharitabletrust/1958894Check out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateLearn more about Daily Visit Communication 2.0https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/daily-visitEmail me - martin@insideoutpractices.com

The conversation starts with sweet potatoes and grandma-level stuffing, then pivots to the question stirring up homebuyers everywhere: would a 50-year mortgage help or hurt? We share the real math behind lower monthly payments, how amortization changes over ultra-long terms, and why equity can lag for years unless you get proactive. From belt-loop victories to kitchen-table budgets, we pull the debate out of theory and into real life.We unpack who actually benefits from a longer term, how lenders will likely price risk, and why the lifetime cost may dwarf the short-term relief. You'll hear clear strategies to make a long loan work in your favor: automate extra principal, aim for one extra payment a year, set refinance trigger points, and treat appreciation as a bonus, not a guarantee. We also tackle the costs no one can ignore—property taxes and insurance—and how they can erase your perceived savings even if your rate looks decent on paper.There's fresh context on 2025 credit changes, including how medical debt is treated and why nuanced underwriting could help qualified buyers who've had a rough patch. We balance the builder's perspective with the buyer's anxiety, explore market ripple effects if 50-year loans take hold, and draw a bright line between starter-home strategy and forever-home commitments. If a 50-year term is the only way to get the keys, we outline the plan you need to avoid paying for a lifetime: disciplined overpayments, honest timelines, and a clear exit or refinance strategy.Ready to pressure-test your plan? Listen now, subscribe for more straight-talk housing insights, and drop your take: is the 50-year mortgage a smart bridge or an expensive habit we'll regret?

Today's episode was sparked by a line that dropped into my world like a divine wink: “I accept the great adventure of being me.” This quote—often attributed to Simone de Beauvoir—opened a doorway into a deeper conversation about embodiment, intuition, and the soul-led path of feminine leadership. If you're an intuitive woman who feels that familiar tug in your chest… the pull toward more purpose, more truth, more alignment… then this episode will feel like a warm, holy recalibration. Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ Why feminine leadership begins with embodiment, not effort ✨ How Human Design & Gene Keys decode the way you're meant to lead ✨ Why 2026 is a destiny-activation year for intuitive women ✨ What nervous system regulation has to do with clarity ✨ How astrology reveals the leadership imprint written into your bones ✨ The question that becomes your compass: “Am I accepting the adventure of being me… or am I hiding?” This is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start stepping into the woman God designed you to be.

What I suspect is true for you is what I'm hearing from a lot of my clients – there's just too much noise in the world. And more and more, we want to be able to focus on the essentials of what's going to work. When we're talking advocacy, there are two essential ingredients. If you don't have those two fully dialed in, your results are going to be disappointing. You'll keep finding yourself in that place where the decisionmaker doesn't fully get what you do.  And because they don't fully get what you do, and don't understand the complexity of the problem you solve, they also can't correctly value the worth of the work that you do and the transformational outcomes you create in the lives of the people you serve. So we've gotta get them to get it. That's the bottom line. Those two critical ingredients for making that happen? If either one of them is not fully dialed in, chances are they're still not going to get it. I want to help you get those two critical ingredients dialed in and working for you. To get the results you want every time you engage a decision maker. In this episode, I'm sharing:·        The three reasons behind decisionmakers not “getting it” about the value of your workThe top three things you need to do with your messaging to make sure decisionmakers do “get it”Why persuasion almost never worksThe key element Nonprofits often leave out of their messaging, that is costing them a ton of influence with decisionmakersThe five core principles of successful engagementThe multiplier effect of learning a full set of messaging and engagement skillsWhy the techniques that feel most uncomfortable are the ones you should work hardest to master Ready to take your messaging and engagement skills to the next level?

Who You Say No To Matters as Much as Who You Say Yes To  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.   So now business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers don't like high performers. Don't put them in the same room. You can find all the research. You put a high performer and a low performer in the same room. A low performer will drag down the high performer 15 to 35% in their productivity, 15 to 35%. You're better off just getting rid of the lower performer. Yeah, but who's gonna answer the phone? Oh, geez, we'll figure that out. Oh yeah, but I don't have anyone to go to the trade show. Oh, so what? Better an empty booth than what you put in that booth, right? Make sure to be, again, award your higher standard people. By the way, I know accountability is a challenge in a lot of businesses. Not when you have high performers. They love scorecards because they're always winning. Accountability only hurts when you're not meeting your goals. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Jami just crash-landed back from BravoCon, and listen… her liver may still be in Las Vegas but her stories definitely are not! She's sitting down with Jessi to recap the most unhinged, star-studded, Housewives-studded weekend of her life. We're talking VIP event chaos, surprise celeb run-ins, questionable decisions, and enough tea to hydrate the entire Mojave Desert. Jami's spilling everything …like the accidental run-in with Ryan and Jen from RHOC, the ongoing whodunit of who tf invited Jeff Lewis's ex to Margaret Josephs' exclusive soirée, and the Bravolebrity who greeted her with the warmth of a broken Bravo contract. Buckle up: this BravoCon breakdown mentions it all. Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
