Podcasts about Say Yes

No matter how successful you are, the pitching never ends. Even the most seasoned TV creator has been known to melt down in front of their G-Wagon when they can't land a greenlight: “Why don't they just say yes?” Silicon Valley tech giants thought they could disrupt the “terrible business” of entertainment — less buying and selling, more ownership and verticality — which led to the streaming wars, and now a contracting industry where “the yeses just aren't coming.” Transcript here.

Sindre Talleraas Holen, Head of M&A at Visma In Part 2 of this global M&A masterclass, Sindre Holen pulls back the curtain on Visma's deal execution strategy, valuation methodology, and post-close philosophy. Visma has quietly become one of the most disciplined and prolific acquirers in Europe and LATAM. How? Through extreme clarity on what they buy, why they buy it, and how they operate post-close. Sindre and Kison dig into the nuance of buying software companies in different geographies, how Visma thinks about valuation (hint: rule of 40—and sometimes 50—matters), and why the company chooses to “onboard” rather than “integrate.” This episode is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how to structure deals, manage cultural differences, and stay true to a scalable M&A playbook. Things you will learn:   How Visma sets valuation ranges across different growth brackets and geographies Rule of 40 vs. Rule of 50 and how it impacts multiples Why Visma prefers local advisors over centralized consultants in new markets Inside Visma's onboarding vs. integration philosophy _______________ What is the Buyer-Led M&A™ Virtual Summit Only two weeks left to register!

It's not uncommon for me to start getting them at about 11 or 12 because parents have noticed a big shift. When we start getting into it... a lot of it connects back to sadness, grieving, and loss about why didn't they keep me? What's wrong with me? Hi Neighbor, Adoption is built on loss. It's a journey of processing this loss, especially during the preteen and teen years. Parents can't heal these wounds for their children, but they can create a safe environment for them to do so. Joining me today is my neighbor from Alabama, Jane Baker. Jane is a friend of the show, and she's a friend of adoptive families. Jane is a priceless resource of information. Conversations like the one you are about to hear contain things I wish we had known before we faced the challenges in our parenting journey.  I want to encourage you to grab a pen and paper. There are lots of wise nuggets that will help you navigate the struggles that adoption can present.  Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S. You're not alone in this journey. If you haven't joined our private community, consider this an invitation. It's a safe space to share your struggles and triumphs with fellow adoptive parents who truly understand what you're going through. Listen to today's episode and share it with fellow adoptive parents. These conversations foster strength and understanding in our community. Be the anchor others may need right now.

In episode 135 of Medium Lady Talks, Erin shares five meaningful ways to celebrate yourself as part of the ongoing "How to Take Care of Yourself" series. Inspired by her recent 42nd birthday, Erin makes the case that celebrating yourself isn't indulgent, it's necessary for sustained well-being. Episode Highlights: Celebrating yourself is a practice, skill, and mindset that contributes to your sustained well-being Why saying "it out loud" is the first step to genuine self-celebration How scheduling solo celebration time honours your finite time and personal worth The power of inviting others into your celebrations to amplify joy Why giving to others from a place of fullness creates positive ripples The importance of taking your time with celebrations instead of rushing through them Resources Mentioned: Gretchen Rubin: Author of "The Happiness Project" who explains how personal celebration is a cornerstone of sustainable happiness through habits and rituals Tamu Thomas: Author of "Women Who Work Too Much" who describes speaking our celebrations as a way to tap into everyday joy Oliver Burkeman: Author of “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals" who reminds us of the importance of deliberately allocating our finite time to joy Barbara Fredrickson: Pioneer in positive psychology whose "broaden-and-build theory" explains how shared joy amplifies positive emotions and builds resources Reflection Questions: What deserves to be named and celebrated in your life right now? How might regular self-celebration change your relationship with achievement? Which celebration style feels most comfortable or uncomfortable for you? How can you resist cultural conditioning by choosing joy over fear, perfectionism, or people-pleasing? Looking for more support?

It's with great pleasure and expectation that I welcome my dear friend and fellow heaven sojourner, Timothy Bence, back to the show.  I could think of none better to teach on inheritance and stewarding our Kingdom for the Kings on Fire™ peeps as we begin our course on the territories of our Kingdom.As Timothy weaves biblical teaching with the story of his own journey to finding and redeeming his inheritance you will laugh, you will cry, and you will learn.We had to divide the story up because it's just SO juicy!  (Fantastic, but LOOOONG…) So forgive the cliffhangers and abrupt cuts. Come back next week for the continuation.  Enjoy!PURE GOLD:“Sit at the right hand of God and see/learn how he runs his kingdom.”“Lay your land before the Lord and ask if it is inheritance, or just an asset.”“The best thing to do is say, God, would you lead me to my inheritance? Help me define the field that's calling out my name by design, because there I have the highest level of grace to redeem it, and to be walking in the fullness of the blessings that you've given to my house.”BIO:Timothy Bence is a forerunning Kingdom of God builder, and has learned to walk in true sonship. He helps construct a foundation for others to build on, and instructs many to walk in their gifts, calling, and grace by being a part of the living body of Christ, the Ekklesia. He lives with a promise from the Lord, and a growing desire to see whole cities and nations saved where every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord.Timothy keeps a balance between ministry and business, and has helped start several churches and ministries. He travels about 50 percent of the time, preaching and teaching, which has extended to almost every State in the US, and to over many nations thus far. He is the founder of a ministry called Jubilee Covenant that is restoring the Tabernacle of David and developing a model for 24-hour prayer, worship, and city structure. He has helped create ministries that provide aid to orphans, widows, and the poor within self-sustainable cities. His business is called World Feeder, and he has helped start several businesses that are involved in growing food and trade that helps create sustainable communities alongside mission bases.He holds a BA in General Studies and an MA in International Affairs, and participates locally in many different citywide efforts to bring unity and one accord to the Body of Christ in the metropolitan area of Oklahoma City.HIGHLIGHTS:- Barrenness makes us cry out - We have to disengage from a culture God doesn't honor- Haran = the place of hesitation- Say Yes, and then ask questions.- God doesn't always create it, sometimes He grows it- Not just for me, but for my household- When Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden of Eden, the lost lost its heir.- To qualify as a mature son, you have to have a relationship with Father. You have to look like Him, act like Him, and make decisions like Him.- God honors the heart first- Church vs. Ekklesia- An assembly (ekklesia) requires fully functioning legislators- Experientially living in both realms- Boundaries are important to GodLINK for TIMOTHY:– Contact Timothy Bence: IamTimothy@gmail.comLINKS for Bralynn:– Transform your world by the words you think and speak.

Today we have a very special guest. From the stages of off-Broadway to the bright lights of Broadway, from his unmistakable voice to his performances in 30+ movies, Harvey Fierstein has spent a lifetime telling stories that matter. With four Tony Awards to his name—two for writing, two for acting—his work in Torch Song Trilogy, La Cage aux Folles, and Hairspray has redefined representation on stage. But beyond the accolades, there's the man: a Brooklyn-born artist whose journey has been shaped by family, resilience, and an unyielding belief in telling the truth. Harvey also has a deep love for sewing and costume design. Before becoming famous Fierstein studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and worked as a costume designer in the off-off-Broadway world. He has spoken about his passion for sewing in interviews, reminiscing about how he used to design and create costumes for drag performers and theater productions which helped shape his deep understanding of theatrical presentation and character development. His early work in costume design was part of his immersion in the vibrant New York theater community of the 1970s, where he collaborated with experimental and LGBTQ+ artists.Even as his career in theater took off with Torch Song Trilogy and Hairspray, sewing remained a part of his life. He has mentioned that working with fabric and creating garments is a meditative and creative outlet for him. His appreciation for costume design also extends to his theatrical work, where he often acknowledges the impact of great costume designers in bringing characters to life.So today we go beyond the footlights to explore the moments that made him—his early days, the influence of his parents, why Ridgefield, Connecticut became his adopted hometown and, why sewing has been an anchoring thread in his life. (2:15) We welcome the inimitable Harvey Fierstein! He shares how he first picked up sewing—starting with an industrial machine in his father's handkerchief factory—before setting his sights on becoming a Disney animator. But, things changed for him and as Harvey puts it, “Life only changes when you're brave enough to say yes.”(5:27) A deep dive into Harvey's quilting journey, from discovering HGTV and Alex Anderson to creating story-driven quilts today. His first quilt? Alex Anderson's Strips that Sizzle!(9:25) Growing up in a conservative Jewish household, Harvey learned the power of storytelling from his family. Education, art, music, and Broadway were all part of his upbringing, shaping the creative force he became.(11:45) Family isn't just who you're born to—it's also who you find. Harvey talks about his “found family” in the theatre, the people who call him “mama” and “papa,” and what it means to always be true to yourself.(13:32) Ever wonder what a Harvey Fierstein Stitch & Bitch session looks like? He spills all about his quilting experiments and creative process.(16:03) From bold colors to playful designs, Harvey shares his favorite fabrics and how he keeps things fresh alternating between challenging and just plain silly projects.(20:15) Picking a favorite quilt is like picking a favorite child—but Harvey gives it a shot!(23:20) The costumes that left a mark: Harvey reflects on the magic of theatrical costumes, the collaborative art of design, and why theatre itself is an act of faith.(27:07) Favorite roles—on stage, in film, and yes, even Death to Smoochy!(30:30) Writing his memoir I Was Better Last Night was a journey in itself. Harvey shares what inspired him to put his life on paper.(31:20) When did he finally feel accepted? And what really led him to move Torch Song Trilogy to Broadway? It's not the story you think!(32:31) A mother always knows! The moment Harvey's mom saw her own earrings on him during Torch Song Trilogy—and her priceless reaction.(34:00) What's the secret to his success? According to Harvey, it's all about taking that unexpected fork in the road.(38:38) The quilting class that changed everything: What Harvey learned from Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Liza Lucy.(39:10) Quilting vs. theatre—two creative worlds, two very different communities. Harvey compares the two.(40:54) The key to keeping every performance fresh? Harvey reveals how he does it.(43:06) Why Bridgefield, CT has been home for 40 years—and how Harvey's house reflects is unique perspective on life and art.(46:00) “As much as it hurts, tell the truth.” Harvey explains how this philosophy, shaped by his father, has guided his life and career.(47:25) What's next—what's left on Harvey's bucket list?(52:18) Want to connect with Harvey?
