This week on the podcast, I'm diving into a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately—competition vs. cooperation. We live in a world (and even within mission culture) where competition often takes center stage—ranking, comparing, pushing to be “the best.” But what happens when we shift our focus to cooperation instead? What if the real strength and success come from uniting, including, and building each other up? In this episode, I share personal stories, observations from ward and youth activities, and even lessons from parenting that helped me see the contrast between these two approaches. We'll talk about the energy competition can create, but also the hierarchies and division it sometimes leaves behind. Then, we'll explore how cooperation fosters unity, abundance, and the kind of Christlike leadership we need more of on the mission and in life. Whether you're a preparing missionary learning to manage expectations, a currently serving missionary working in a district or zone, a returned missionary trying to let go of comparison, or a missionary mom/leader wondering how to encourage unity—this conversation will give you new perspectives and practical tools to notice where competition is creeping in, and how to intentionally lean into cooperation instead. Because when we choose cooperation, everyone wins. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

On today's episode of Play It Brave, I'm joined by my dear friend, the incredible creative and leader, Carrie Moe. Carrie is someone I deeply admire—not only because of her talent (she's styled for brands like Ritz-Carlton, Fujifilm, and Berta Bridal, and been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, and Brides), but because of the way she approaches her work with confidence, creativity, and so much integrity. We dive into: ✨ Why collaboration is more powerful than competition in the creative industry. ✨ The myth of “falling behind” and how to release the pressure to keep up. ✨ What it means to value your time and treat yourself as a luxury brand. ✨ The importance of community, networking, and in-person connection for growing your career. ✨ How saying no to misaligned opportunities can open the door to bigger, more aligned “yeses.” We also talk about the Hybrid Collective Conference, which is coming to Charleston in 2026. Hybrid has been one of my favorite places to teach, learn, and connect since 2017, and Carrie shares so beautifully about why it continues to be such a transformative space for photographers and creatives. This conversation is a reminder that your artistry is yours alone. The way you see, create, and bring beauty into the world cannot be replicated—and that's exactly what makes it valuable. About the Hybrid Collective Dreamers, Innovators, Goal Getters...Hybrid was established in 2017 by four industry leaders who saw the need for education and connections within the film photography space. Hybrid continues as a women owned company with a team who seeks to change the world by empowering, encouraging, and connecting with YOU.

In part three of the Sports Cards Live stream from Saturday, August 23, 2025, Jeremy welcomes Chris McGill (@chris_hoj) alongside Brent Weyer (@deepvalueinvestor) as the Heritage Auctions bidding drama heats up. The iconic Jordan–Kobe Dual Logoman Exquisite Autograph climbs past $9 million, sparking debate on whether it deserves to rank among the greatest cards in basketball history. The conversation expands into the role of grading, questioning whether graded scarcity creates real value or if condition scarcity and eye appeal are what truly matter.

Highlights include: The Jordan–Kobe Dual Logoman breaking into record territory Grading scarcity vs. condition scarcity — what collectors should really value The role of eye appeal and why not all 10s are created equal Why Michael Jordan doesn't have a single “perfect” rookie grail The debate: PMG Green, Logomans, or something else as Jordan's apex card This is a can't-miss segment for anyone fascinated by high-end sports cards, the psychology of grading, and the never-ending pursuit of defining hobby “greatness.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to episode #998 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Annie Wilson is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and co-author, with Ryan Hamilton, of The Growth Dilemma - Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things. Her work examines the deep interplay between consumer behavior, culture and brand identity, helping leaders understand why growth often creates as many risks as it does opportunities. In The Growth Dilemma, Annie unpacks how efforts to reach new customer segments can clash with the values of loyal buyers, sometimes threatening the very meaning of a brand. Drawing from real-world examples (from Apple's software missteps to Gucci's unintended association with reality TV fame) she reveals how scarcity, exclusivity and cultural perception shape brand power in ways most executives overlook. Beyond brand strategy, Annie's research and teaching explore the ways marketing has evolved as a discipline, especially in an era of AI, fragmented media and globalization. She highlights how authenticity, community and cultural nuance are becoming non-negotiable for sustainable success, and why short-termism remains one of the most dangerous traps for modern marketers. For those navigating the intersection of consumer connection and cultural influence, Annie offers a critical lens on how to balance growth with integrity, how to adapt without betraying your core identity and how to see branding not just as a commercial practice, but as a cultural one. This conversation is essential listening for anyone grappling with the future of marketing in an age of shifting consumer expectations, technological disruption and global homogenization.

Kirstine speaks about Jesus' power over scarcity and how abundance can come from surrender, not stockpiling.
In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with Travis Altman, a leadership and life coach, discussing the complexities of men's lives, the tension they face, and the importance of legacy. Travis shares his journey of transformation, the inception of his organization 'I Must Stand', and the impactful 'Wake Weekend' event designed to help men navigate their personal and professional lives. The conversation emphasizes the significance of understanding tension, making conscious choices, and the role of faith in leadership. Takeaways Travis Altman helps high-performing men achieve success without losing their families. Tension is the space between where I am and where I want to be. Financial success without family means nothing. Men often settle for a life of mediocrity without realizing it. Choosing comfort over purpose leads to self-betrayal. Legacy is defined by the decisions we make today. The Wake Weekend is a transformative experience for men. Tension is a gift that helps develop necessary qualities. Every day is a new choice towards the legacy we want to leave. Faith plays a crucial role in leadership and personal growth.

“And he gathered up all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.” - Genesis 41:48Joseph's story isn't just dramatic—it's a powerful example of godly wisdom in uncertain times. His preparation during years of abundance helped an entire nation weather a famine. Today, Mark Biller joins us to explore what Joseph's legacy teaches us about planning ahead.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Learning from Joseph's ExampleJoseph's story in the book of Genesis is one of the most dramatic and inspiring accounts in all of Scripture. From his rise and fall—from favored son to slave, from prisoner to ruler of Egypt—Joseph's journey demonstrates God's providence at every turn. His famous words to his brothers in Genesis 50:20 capture the theme: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”But Joseph's story is also a powerful lesson in financial stewardship. His foresight during years of abundance prepared Egypt—and surrounding nations—to survive years of famine. This biblical principle remains as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.In Genesis 41, Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams, warning that seven years of abundance will be followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh puts Joseph in charge of preparations, and Joseph sets aside 20% of the harvest during the good years. This disciplined stewardship meant survival when crisis hit.Back in 2006, I wrote an editorial drawing on this lesson, warning that the “years of plenty” could give way to economic trouble. Just two years later, the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis proved the point. Many of the underlying issues from that period—such as excessive debt and systemic risk—remain unresolved to this day.The Challenges We Face NowWhile I don't have the same sense of foreboding I felt in 2006, there are signs of stress in the global financial system:Runaway Debt – U.S. debt has risen from $10 trillion in 2008 to over $36 trillion today.Bigger Banks – Post-crisis reforms led to further consolidation, making the largest banks even larger.Central Bank Intervention – Years of near-zero interest rates and quantitative easing have encouraged dependence on stimulus.Political Division – Our political climate makes tackling systemic issues even more challenging.Preparing Personally for the Next StormWe can't control national or global problems, but we can prepare at a personal level. If you are in a “year of plenty,” now is the time to:Pay down debt and reduce obligations.Build an emergency fund to weather personal or economic downturns.Diversify investments, including assets that hold value in inflationary times—such as gold, real estate, commodities, or even small allocations to Bitcoin.Live below your means so you can give generously when needs arise.Financial Preparedness as Spiritual OpportunityPreparedness isn't just about protecting yourself—it's about positioning yourself to help others. Crises, whether national or personal, can open hearts to the gospel. If our finances are in order, we can respond like Joseph—meeting physical needs and sharing the spiritual hope found in Christ.If you're in a season of famine right now, don't lose heart. Trust God as your ultimate provider, take small steps forward, and connect with your church or community for support. Seasons change, and preparation now can mean you'll be ready when the next opportunity to serve—or survive—comes.For more on this topic, read the full editorial Years of Plenty, Years of Famine Revisited at SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've owned a timeshare for years, but I think it's a bad investment. The maintenance fees are high, and I believe there are better vacation options. It will cost $2,000 to get out of it, but my wife likes it. How can I bring this up without hurting her feelings?In the Old Testament, tithing was clearly defined, but in the New Testament, Paul says giving should be something you decide in your heart. Some people tell me they give as they feel led—sometimes more, sometimes less.

“If I just made more money, everything would be fine.” Sound familiar? The truth is, your financial challenges likely have nothing to do with your income and everything to do with the scarcity script that was programmed into you long before you ever touched a dollar. In this episode, I unpack how childhood lessons, cultural beliefs, and even well-intentioned advice can plant deep-seated money scripts that keep you stuck in fear, lack, and limitation. I share my own journey of breaking free from these beliefs—and the exact steps you can take to rewrite your financial story into one of confidence, abundance, and purpose. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – What the scarcity script is and how it quietly sabotages your financial life [2:17] – Childhood programming: how small lessons shape lifelong money beliefs [5:05] – Why “making more money” won't fix a scarcity mindset [6:27] – The hidden ways scarcity shows up: overspending, undercharging, avoiding budgets [7:22] – Reframing guilt around charging your worth [9:45] – How raising my prices actually led to better results for clients [13:09] – Training your brain to look at ROI instead of cost [14:21] – Why scarcity blocks more than income—it blocks your purpose [16:07] – Step 1: Awareness—writing down the money phrases you grew up with [16:40] – Step 2: Identity shift—building a new money identity statement [21:56] – Step 3: Evidence rebuilding—celebrating small wins to build trust with yourself Key Takeaways Scarcity Is Learned, Not Truth – The money beliefs you inherited growing up are scripts, not reality—and they can be rewritten. Abundance Unlocks Purpose – Letting go of fear-based money patterns isn't just about earning more; it's about living fully and giving freely. Rewrite in Three Steps – Awareness, identity shift, and evidence rebuilding are the tools to break free from scarcity and build abundance. Quotables “You don't rewrite the scarcity script—you obliterate it.” “Scarcity doesn't just block your income. It blocks your purpose.” “Abundance says, ‘How can I create it?' instead of, ‘I can't afford it.'” Links & Resources Learn more about BudgetDog Academy: https://budgetdog.com Book a call with my team: https://budgetdog.com Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/budgetdog If this episode challenged you to think differently about money, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Listen in for a masterclass in courage: not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear run the show. Mark Friedlich grew up in a tenement apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the son of Holocaust survivors, sharing a bedroom and living with scarcity. Today, he speaks on global stages, testifies before Congress, and serves as Vice President of Government Affairs at a multinational corporation.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Mark Monchek, founder and Chief Opportunity Officer of Opportunity Lab. A seasoned author, speaker, and advisor, Mark has guided leaders from top global organizations through times of radical disruption. Drawing from his books Culture of Opportunity and the forthcoming Opportunity Intelligence, Mark shares how to unlock growth through collaboration, mindset shifts, and purpose-driven leadership.The conversation explores how leaders can thrive in chaos by embracing abundance over scarcity, building resilient networks, and identifying leverage points in times of upheaval. Mark recounts powerful stories—from rebuilding Asheville's River Arts District after Hurricane Helene to transforming the Literacy Assistance Center's resources through network mapping—that illustrate his belief in turning disruption into opportunity. The discussion also dives into cultivating generosity, forging unconventional partnerships (even with competitors), and the philosophy behind his upcoming “UnConference” for mid-market CEOs.

Ever wanted to send that scathing email or slam the door shut after someone disappointed you? We all have. But here's the hard truth: Don't burn that bridge—your future self might need it. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I dive into one of the most overlooked leadership strategies: choosing compassion over retaliation, even when you feel wronged. Especially when you feel wronged. Because the way you show up during conflict doesn't just define your character—it shapes your future opportunities. The Real Reason We Lash Out—and Why We Must Resist When someone quits unexpectedly, underdelivers, or betrays your trust, your brain goes into fight-or-flight mode. The amygdala floods your system with cortisol. Logic shrinks. Ego inflates. We react from fear, not clarity. But strong leaders don't lead from reactivity. They lead from ownership. Unfortunately, business culture conditions us to compete at all costs. We're taught to dominate, win, and protect what's “ours.” That scarcity mindset convinces us that success is limited—and anyone who threatens ours must be the enemy. But real leadership requires a different path. Mic Drop Moment: “You don't need to win every time to be successful. You need to lead every time with integrity.” The Law of Unexpected Returns Here's the magic: the kindness you extend today often circles back to benefit you later. Sometimes years later. Maybe it's the employee you part ways with gracefully who refers top talent to you later. Or the competitor you treat respectfully who becomes your partner in a surprising venture. The point is: you never know. And in tight-knit industries, your reputation is your currency. Mic Drop Moment: “Every interaction is a seed—and the most valuable harvests come from the bridges you didn't burn.” Compassion Isn't Weakness. It's Strategy. Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning poor behavior. It means not carrying resentment. You can set boundaries and still choose compassion. You can walk away from someone and still treat them with grace. Mic Drop Moment: “Just because the relationship looks like this today doesn't mean it will look like this forever.” The long game of leadership means leaving the door open—even if it's only a crack. Five Ways to Lead With Compassion—Even When It's Hard 1. Pause before reacting. Ask yourself: “What's the story I'm telling myself right now?” 2. Assume positive intent. Even if you're hurt. Especially if you're hurt. 3. Use “I” statements. Lead with your truth, not with blame. 4. Reach out with grace. A kind message can shift everything. 5. Zoom out. Will this matter five years from now? How do you want to be remembered? Key Takeaways • Lashing out is human. Leading with ownership is leadership. • Scarcity thinking creates enemies. Long-term thinking builds networks. • Your reputation travels. People remember how you made them feel. • Grace is strategic. Leave room for future reconnection. • Forgiveness fosters emotional maturity, team health, and future growth. Call to Action: Lead With Integrity, Even in Discomfort Think of one person you've mentally written off. Someone you feel hurt by. Ask yourself: • What kind of relationship would I want with them in five years? • What's one small act of compassion I can offer—today? Maybe it's a message. Maybe it's just letting go. Either way, take the high road. Because your future self just might thank you. Connect with Kerry Don't forget to subscribe to Reflect Forward on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube.

In this homily, we reflect on Christ's miraculous feeding of the five thousand as a revelation of His abundant love and the Church's calling to hospitality. Fr. Anthony explores how, through grace, even our limited offerings are multiplied to nourish the world, revealing a Kingdom where scarcity has no place. Enjoy the show! ------ MATTHEW 14:14-22 At that time, Jesus saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. This is what he does. He sees our suffering and heals us. What a blessing to have such a compassionate and capable God. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves." Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat." Hospitality. We are meant to do more than eat and learn; we are meant to feed and teach. And more than that, we are meant to instruct others in the way of hospitality, so that they, too, may feed and teach (and teach others to feed and teach). This system is scalable, through grace, towards perfection. Scarcity is destroyed by the model of Christian hospitality. They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish." The apostles did not have enough and Christ new that. But He knew they had something He could build on and multiply; again destroying the limitations of scarcity and localism. St. Hillary develops the spiritual version of this theme; This means that up to then they depended on five loaves—that is, the five books of the law. And two fish nourished them—that is, the preaching of the prophets and of John. For in the works of the law there was life just as there is life from bread, but the preaching of John and the prophets restored hope to human life by virtue of water. Therefore the apostles offered these things first, because that was the level of their understanding at the time. From these modest beginnings the preaching of the gospel has proceeded from them, from these same apostles, until it has grown into an immense power. This is the way the Lord works. He takes what we are and, through grace, transforms it into something better. In sin, we are part of the problem. Hunger, scarcity, selfishness; but He lifts us up and we become part of the solution. Feeding people with His love from a source that never ends and, as for selfishness, not only moving us unto something better, but allowing us to be a healing balm to those who suffer from the same malady. And he said, "Bring them here to me." Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the crowds. St. Jerome. By the breaking of the bread, he makes it into a seedbed of food—for if the bread had been left intact and not pulled apart and broken into pieces, they would have been unable to feed the great crowds of men, women and children. The law with the prophets are therefore pulled apart and broken into pieces. Mysteries are made manifest, so that what did not feed the multitude of people in its original whole and unbroken state now feeds them in its divided state. And they all ate and were satisfied. The Church has always seen this as pointing toward the Eucharist. God is the food that is “forever eaten but never consumed.” Again, note how scarcity does not exist in the Kingdom. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. St. Hilary: The loaves were given to the apostles, for through them the gifts of divine grace were to be administered. The crowds were then fed with the five loaves and two fish, and they were satisfied. The leftover fragments of bread and fish, after the people had their fill, amounted to twelve baskets. Thus, by the word of God coming from the teaching of the law and the prophets, the multitude was satisfied; and an abundance of divine power, reserved for the Gentiles from the ministry of the eternal food, was left over for the twelve apostles. And, following this metaphor, still eat from these baskets because our bishop is an inheritor of this meal, something we are blessed to share here so that we may be fed. Now we celebrate the presence of God in our midst, in this deserted place, healing our infirmities, feeding our hunger, and empowering us to do the same for others.

Adam creates a hypnosis session to help a client break a generational habit of feeling scarce about money and financial opportunities.
Is cutting costs protecting your future, or is it quietly destroying it? In this episode, William covers the invisible difference between acting out of scarcity versus acting from abundance. He reveals how even smart, logical decisions like hiring, firing, or budgeting can backfire when rooted in scarcity, and how to identify these hidden mental programs before they sabotage your goals. You'll learn how to shift your internal framework so that every action aligns with long-term growth, clarity, and confidence.Chapters(00:00) Introduction(02:23) Scarcity Exists at Every Income Level(07:22) Why Selflessness Can Be Scarcity in Disguise(10:54) The Illusion of Sacrifice(13:02) Scarcity Structures Always Collapse(19:29) Are You Running from Pain or Creating What You Want?(22:56) Breaking the Cycle of Self-SabotageLearn more at https://upgrd.comFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theupgrd
The world constantly tells us, “You just need a little more.” But what if real peace isn't found in having more, but in learning to need less?What comes to mind when you hear the word “wealth”? For some, it means freedom. For others, it brings anxiety and pressure. Today, Jeff Manion joins us to explore how we can cultivate contentment in a culture that always craves more.Jeff Manion is the Teaching Pastor at Ada Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has served for over 40 years. He is also the author of several books, including Satisfied: Discovering Contentment in a World of Consumption.Why Wealth Confuses UsIn a world that constantly urges us to acquire more, climb higher, and chase the next upgrade, contentment often feels elusive. But what if true satisfaction isn't found in accumulation, but in learning—learning to trust, to remember, to let go, and to live fully in the present? Contentment is not something we're born with—it's something we must learn. And we're learning it together.Let's be honest—wealth can be confusing. One day, we're living simply out of necessity, and the next, after years of doing the right things—avoiding debt, saving diligently, and giving generously—we find ourselves in a season of financial stability. You'd think contentment would come naturally at that point. But surprisingly, it doesn't.Learning contentment in a season of sufficiency is often more challenging than in a season of scarcity. When we experience financial security, the temptation to trust in our own strength rather than God's provision becomes a real concern. This isn't new—it's the same struggle the Israelites faced in Deuteronomy 8. After years of daily dependence on manna in the wilderness, God warned them not to forget Him once they entered the Promised Land. He reminded them: “Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth” (Deut. 8:18). That warning is for us too.The Danger of the “There and Then” MentalityContentment is rooted in the present, not the future. And yet we often believe we'll only be at peace "there and then"—when the vacation arrives, the mortgage is paid off, or the kitchen is finally renovated. But if we can't be fully alive to God and the people around us now, there's no guarantee we will be later.We don't stumble into contentment—we learn it. The Apostle Paul, writing under house arrest, said, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Phil. 4:11). His circumstances didn't determine his joy. His peace wasn't tied to his comfort. And ours doesn't have to be either.Sometimes the path to contentment starts by taking inventory—literally. For many of us, stuff multiplies without our awareness. A drawer of unworn t-shirts, a shelf of unused dishes, boxes of forgotten CDs…they add up. We can begin the journey toward contentment by shedding excess.A simple practice, like giving away five items a day for seven weeks, can bring clarity and peace. Not because we're pursuing minimalism for its own sake, but because we're reminding ourselves that joy isn't found in our possessions—it's found in a life uncluttered by distraction, filled with God's presence and purpose.Escaping the Comparison TrapComparison is a thief of joy. Whether or not Teddy Roosevelt actually coined the phrase, it's undeniably true. In our digital age, we don't just compare lives—we compare carefully curated highlight reels. This distorts our view, convincing us we're missing out when in fact, we're richly blessed.Comparison shifts our focus from gratitude to scarcity. And scarcity suffocates generosity. When we believe we never have enough, we become unable to see the abundance God has already given us—abundance meant to be shared.Generosity is one of the most effective ways to break money's grip on our hearts. Paul's charge to Timothy echoes through the centuries: “Command those who are rich… not to put their hope in wealth… but to put their hope in God… to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share” (1 Tim. 6:17–18).When we give, we reflect the heart of our generous God—first in creation, then in Christ. And as we open our hands, we discover joy not in what we keep, but in what we release for the sake of others and the glory of God.Passing on the Legacy of ContentmentWe long for our children and grandchildren to experience true satisfaction. But contentment isn't just taught—it's caught. When our families see that our greatest joy is not in acquiring new and better things but in reflecting the generosity of Christ, they begin to understand that there's a story far bigger than material success.We want them to see us delight in giving, not just spending. To notice our peace when things don't go our way. To recognize that the content life isn't a small life—it's a deeply rich one, rooted in grace and lived with open hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have around $1.5 million in total assets and $500,000 in available funds. Given the current tax environment, I'm considering whether now might be a strategic time to withdraw from my pre-tax retirement accounts and pay the taxes. I'm currently living on Social Security and pension income and haven't needed to tap into my savings yet.I'd like to open an account for my great-grandchildren, who are currently 3 years old and 18 months old. I've been looking into a universal life insurance policy, but would appreciate guidance on the best way to save for their future—possibly to help with education expenses.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Satisfied: Discovering Contentment in a World of Consumption by Jeff ManionSavingForCollege.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
