Podcasts about Scarcity

We took Parker and the girls and a few buddies to Dave and Busters a few weeks ago and there was this small thing that happened that has been a huge perspective shift in my life. it's worth a podcast episode.   I was telling Craig on the way there that I've kept all our past Dave and Buster's card organized in the Ziploc baggie in my purse so we have so many cards we have endless game credits we won't have to buy any cards it's literally gonna be the easiest trip to Dave & Buster's ever. So we get there and we're at that scanning machine and one by one each of the 10 cards I had been carrying around in my purse was empty- now they had tickets on them for the stuff in the prize room but zero game credits.   I was laughing so hard I literally couldn't catch my breath as every card we scanned in was a big fat zero and Craig jokingly said… Lindsay you have to stop keeping things.    And it was like the world stopped and I was like - wait a minute - I was sure those cards had value.  What else in my life am I keeping that I won't use or wear or anything. Things that are weighing me down for no reason.      This whole experience threw me into this new way of thinking… where I purge with a feeling of abundance, rather than holding on to things.    My goal in this episode is to help you discover what Dave and Busters cards you've been keeping… that are actually weighing you down.   I've realized more and more that my space needs to be completely organized for my life to feel organized - that's what we're unpacking today!      -The Myth of Value: When We Think Something Still Works Common examples: clothes that no longer fit your lifestyle, kitchen gadgets you “might need someday." -The Weight of Keeping Things "Just In Case" The emotional burden of storing, organizing, and maintaining stuff “just in case.” Letting go frees up not just space, but time, clarity, and energy. -Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset The evolved mindset says: “I'll be okay without this.” If I really need it, I'll figure it out.  So many things we hold onto are a $10 pickup if we need it again  Purging is not wasteful — it's trusting yourself and your future. -Ask Yourself: What Are Your Dave & Buster's Cards? What am I holding onto that no longer adds value? What items feel more like obligation than joy? -Purge with Purpose — and Peace Tips for letting go: Make it a celebration, not a chore. Donate or re-home items to someone who needs them. Keep only what aligns with your current season of life. -The Clarity of Organized Space = Organized Life Organizing your space creates calm, energy, and creativity. When everything has a place, your brain gets a break. It's less about perfection, and more about flow and freedom. -Don't Carry Dead Weight Back to the Ziploc baggie — “it looked like it held value, but it was just weight.” Look at your physical spaces with fresh eyes. Find the freedom and confidence that comes from letting go.   Why an Organized Home = An Organized Life Mental Clarity & Emotional Lightness – Clutter creates mental overwhelm. When your space is clean, your mind feels clear and focused. Saves Time & Energy – No more wasting time searching for things! You can use that energy for creativity, work, or self-care. Boosts Productivity & Motivation – A structured space helps you feel in control and more motivated to tackle tasks. Reduces Stress & Anxiety – Studies show clutter increases cortisol (stress hormone). A tidy home means a calmer mind. Encourages Healthy Habits – An organized kitchen makes healthy eating easier; a tidy workspace boosts efficiency. Better Sleep & Relaxation – A clean bedroom promotes deeper, more restorative sleep. Unique Summer Cleaning Ideas Declutter by Energy Zones – Organize based on how a space makes you feel. If a room feels “heavy,” reassess what's in it. Reverse Spring Cleaning – Unload drawers as if you're moving, then only put back what you truly love or need. “One-Touch” Rule – When tidying, make sure each item you pick up is immediately put where it belongs. Seasonal Reset Box – Place items you're unsure about in a box. If you don't use them in 3 months, donate them. Declutter with Music & a Timer – Set a 30 minute timer & play loud music and go!  The “Why Do I Own This?” Test – Ask yourself if each item serves a purpose or brings joy. If not, let it go! Detox Your Digital Space – Clean up emails, files, and phone apps to declutter your mind.   I hope this episode inspires you to see organization as a form of self-care rather than a chore.  And helps you focus on what you're carrying around that you think serves you but is actually heavy dead weight.    CHEERS to your organized space & life!! 

In this episode of The Art of Consulting, Andy Fry explores the transformative concept of the Law of Abundance, challenging the scarcity mindset that often limits our potential. He highlights the universe's boundless resources and emphasizes the need to move beyond beliefs such as "there's not enough time, money, or opportunities." Through personal stories and actionable strategies, Andy offers guidance on shifting perspectives and embracing abundance as a pathway to success. From identifying how scarcity is used in sales tactics to underscoring the value of creativity and consistent effort, Andy provides practical tools for breaking mental barriers and unlocking hidden opportunities. His message is inspiring yet pragmatic: abundance is real, but achieving it requires belief, intentional action, and the willingness to collaborate. Episode Summary: Understanding the Law of Abundance: The universe provides abundant resources, but scarcity is a mindset that often limits us. Scarcity creates urgency and pressure, often used in sales tactics like "limited time offers" or "only a few left." Shifting the Mindset: Focusing on abundance allows for creative solutions and opportunities. Stress and limitations arise when scarcity dominates your thoughts. Work and Action: While resources are abundant, effort and work are required to access them. Examples include desalinating water from the ocean or mining natural resources. Belief and Creativity: Believing in abundance helps you see opportunities where others see limitations. Creativity plays a key role in defining and pursuing your goals. Personal Stories and Insights: The speaker shares a story about finding money at Legoland and the importance of effort, even when resources seem readily available. They highlight that collaboration and persistence are often necessary to achieve goals. The Takeaway: The law of abundance is not about waiting for things to magically appear but believing that resources exist and working towards them. Visualizing your goals, staying creative, and taking action are essential for success. Episode Highlights: Introduction to the Law of Abundance The Scarcity Mindset in Sales and Daily Life Overcoming Scarcity: A Framework Personal Story: Finding Time Through Belief Personal Story: Discovering Abundance in Unexpected Places Abundance Requires Action and Effort Creativity and Resourcefulness as Keys to Abundance Achieving Greatness Through Collaboration and Hard Work Closing Thoughts: Embrace Abundance

Building large-scale battery storage is much more than securing capital and selecting technology. Success hinges on navigating market rules, regulatory timelines, permitting, grid connection challenges, and talent gaps - each of which varies from one country to another. Developing in a single market can alreadt present complexity. Expanding across borders introduces a new set of operational and commercial challenges, but it also unlocks huge opportunity.
In this episode of Transmission, Quentin is joined by Erik Strømsø - Chief Executive Officer at BW ESS. Erik discusses how BW ESS has adjusted to different grid codes, policy timelines, and market signals, and why success often means building a local strategy within a broader portfolio vision.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Bob & Shannon Maxiner from Lake Elmo, MN. Thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your support reminds us that Jesus is always more than enough. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 6:35-44: And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men. — Mark 6:35-44 The sun was setting. The crowd was huge. And the disciples were doing the math. After a few quick calculations, they concluded that there was not enough. Enough time. Enough money. Enough food. It's a rational thought about the necessary rations. Five thousand men, not counting women and children. In a remote location. But Jesus challenges their rational logic with a divine line: “You give them something to eat.” And their scarcity mentality kicks in. “Are we supposed to spend two hundred denarii on bread?” “We only have five loaves and two fish.” The disciples only perceived natural impossibilities. Jesus perceived spiritual possibilities. Scarcity sees lack—but faith sees the Lord. Jesus tells them to organize the crowd. He blesses the bread. He breaks the fish. What wasn't enough in their hands becomes more than enough in his. “And they all ate and were satisfied.” Every need was met. No one went hungry. It cost nothing. They traveled nowhere. And there were twelve baskets of leftovers. This is what happens when we surrender scarcity to the Savior. Too many believers live day-by-day with a scarcity mentality. Not enough time. Not enough talent. Not enough experience. Not enough influence. Not enough faith. And so we play it safe. We hold back. We tell Jesus to “send them/it away.” However, Jesus never operates from a place of scarcity or lack. He's not concerned about how much you have—he's asking if you'll have faith, bring what you have, and give it to him. Because what feels insufficient to us becomes sufficient in Jesus's hands. So stop living with a scarcity mentality. Live by faith. Bring what you have. Let Jesus multiply and make it more than enough. ASK THIS: Why do you think the disciples focused on what they didn't have? What does this story teach us about God's provision? Where are you tempted to say, “It's not enough”? What would it look like to trust Jesus with that area today? DO THIS: Identify one area where you've been operating from a scarcity mindset. Write it down, bring it to Jesus in prayer, and trust Him to do more than you can see. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess I've been focused on what I lack. Today I choose to bring what I have to you. Help me trust that your hands are better than mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: "More Than Able" by Elevation Worship

Ever feel like someone else's success means you're falling behind? You're not alone.In this episode, we explore the emotional trap of comparison—and how it often leads to scarcity thinking, self-doubt, and isolation. Whether you're a yoga teacher, creative, or entrepreneur, it's easy to wonder, “Am I doing enough?” But comparison, when left unchecked, can shrink our sense of possibility and worth.Instead, this episode invites a mindset shift: from competition to community, and from scarcity to shared abundance. You'll hear reflections on the yogic philosophy of aparigraha (non-attachment), the neuroscience of social comparison, and how genuine inspiration can rewire the brain for creativity and courage.With real-life metaphors (like running behind a pace-setter), affirmations, and somatic practices, this episode encourages you to celebrate others without dimming your own light. Because someone else's success isn't your loss—it's proof of what's possible.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:23 Scarcity vs. Enoughness00:05:09 Shifting the Comparison Lens00:09:41 Yogic Philosophy: Aparigraha00:11:19 Science: Fear & the Brain00:14:48 Isolation vs. Collective Growth00:17:46 Real-Life Example: Physio Teamwork00:19:56 Comparison as Pace, Not Threat00:22:29 Sangha & Shared Success00:24:22 Hormones: Cortisol vs. Oxytocin00:25:17 Embodied Reflection Practice00:27:49 Reflective Questions00:30:20 Closing Meditation00:32:28 Bonus Reflections—-------—-------—-

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of The Own It Show, Justin Rothlinghofer sits down with New York Times bestselling author and financial disruptor Garrett Gunderson to explore the profound connection between mindset and wealth across all areas of life. Garrett shares his deeply personal journey from growing up in a scarcity-driven family where fear dominated financial decisions to experiencing a life-threatening health crisis that forced him to confront how stress and limiting beliefs were literally destroying his body. Through vulnerable storytelling, he reveals how operating from scarcity doesn't just limit our bank accounts—it infiltrates our relationships, health, and ability to serve others at the highest level.The conversation dives into the transformative shift from "playing to win" versus "win and play," where Garrett explains that when we're living our God-given purpose, we've already won because the victory is in the work itself, not some future outcome. Justin and Garrett explore practical frameworks for recognizing scarcity patterns, the power of speaking our hidden money stories out loud, and why you literally "can't shrink your way to wealth." This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to break free from limiting beliefs that keep them from stewarding their resources—financial, physical, and relational—with the abundance mindset required for true impact and legacy.1:47 - Guest Introduction4:12 - Scarcity vs. Abundance Definitions8:35 - Garrett's Family History & Money Trauma14:08 - The Nancy Conversation - Turning Point18:22 - 2023 Health Crisis Story23:41 - How Scarcity Shows Up (Relationships, Health, Career)28:15 - "Can't Shrink Your Way to Wealth" Philosophy33:29 - Vision vs. Goals Discussion38:03 - Son's Health Journey & Being Resourceful43:17 - Money Stories We Tell Ourselves48:52 - The Six D's Framework Discussion53:26 - "Play to Win" vs. "Win and Play" Philosophy=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG=========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Soci=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

In this episode, I'm getting honest about the scarcity mindset so many of us are stuck in — and how I'm starting to shift out of it.I share a personal story from my own life, the importance of reevaluating our routines, and a simple 15-minute morning mindset check-in (thanks to Brendon Burchard) that's been helping me stay on task, aligned, and motivated.We also talk about reclaiming time, ditching mindless habits, and moving your body with purpose — because how we live day-to-day is shaping everything.

Welcome to the 101st episode of the Tasty Brew Music Podcast!I first met Christian Dixon at a Sunday Heartland SongNetwork Song Sanctuary session at PH Coffee House.  Shortly thereafter I welcomed Christian on air for what I believe was his very first radio appearance.  I was honored to recently welcome him back to the airwaves as he was preparing to release his new work “Genetics.”Christian is a middle born child from a small town in theMidwest…Hamilton, Missouri I believe. From a young age, he asked himself the big questions like "What is this all for?" As a pastor's grandson, faith and religion were inseparable from his upbringing. Scarcity and provision, mental health and illness, and shifting self-worth were also formative experiences that shape his life's perspective.  He is heavily influenced by the lyrics of Switchfoot lead singer Jon Foreman, and relates closely to the work of Matt Maeson and Noah Kahan. Christian wants his music to be meaningful, introspective, and authentic; he is unafraid to confront heavy subjects like family trauma, loss, doubt, and a longing to answer the question "What is this all for?"Enjoy this follow up appearance on the Tasty Brew with Missouri son Christian Dixon. 

Is the promise of AI abundance Silicon Valley's biggest lie? That Was The Week publisher Keith Teare argues that while AI will inevitably reduce human labor and increase productivity, the real question isn't economic—it's about distribution. Who, exactly, benefits from all this abundance? Currently, it's private companies like OpenAI and Google that own the technology; not you and I, the public. This creates what Keith describes as a fork in the road: either a techno-feudal nightmare where few own everything, or a techno-socialist cornucopia where everyone prospers. He points to points to experiments like Sam Altman's Worldcoin as potential solutions, but warns that without deliberate human action, abundance could easily become the ultimate scarcity trap.As you can tell from this conversation, I'm much more skeptical than Keith. While he sees inevitable productivity gains leading to a potential utopia, I see Silicon Valley's promises of abudance as largely self-serving fantasy. There is no fork in the road and, with or without human agency, everything certainly isn't possible. Today's technological reality is growing inequality, not infinite distribution. The fact that Keith's most hopeful model is Sam Altman's chilling crypto scheme for paying people to scan and share their irises is particularly unconvincing. History shows us that new technologies, while promising a cornucopian future, always create new forms of scarcity. The people promoting AI abundance—Zuckerberg, Musk, Altman et al—are painfully antisocial, yet preach about more social time for family and friends. Meanwhile, teachers and journalists and lawyers are already being forced into retirement. Without concrete mechanisms for the redistribution of AI derived wealth, abundance will likely benefit the few who own the technology, not the many who actually need it. five key takeaways 1. The Economics vs. Distribution Problem AI will inevitably make production cheaper and more efficient, but there's no built-in mechanism ensuring everyone benefits. The proceeds will flow to private companies unless something changes.2. The Fork in the Road We face two possible futures: a feudal system where a few own everything, or a utopia where abundance benefits everyone. The outcome depends entirely on human choices, not technological inevitability.3. The End of Required Labor While productivity gains are inevitable, the complete elimination of paid work isn't guaranteed. But as AI becomes cheaper than human labor, employers will have no economic incentive to hire people.4. Democrats Need the Abundance Narrative The Democratic Party can't win by just redistributing a shrinking pie. They need policies that grow the economy and make abundance politically viable—free healthcare and education require rapid wealth expansion.5. Experiments Are Already Happening Projects like Sam Altman's Worldcoin (giving everyone AI profits via crypto) and discussions of Universal Income show that practical wealth distribution mechanisms are being tested, not just theorized.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

“I'm just waiting for the T-bill tsunami to come, and it can't come soon enough,” says Sue Hill, senior portfolio manager and head of the Government Liquidity Group at Federated Hermes. Hill joins Macro Matters hosts Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence chief US rates strategist, and Will Hoffman, BI's senior associate US-Canada rates strategist, to discuss the state of the money-market complex amid debt-ceiling-induced supply scarcity. The trio examine the limits and nuances of alternative liquidity-management wrappers, where individual needs and mandates dominate asset compositions. They discuss the debt ceiling, and how her team manages allocation decisions around low but non-zero default risks, as well as unattractive yields relative to alternatives. Also addressed was how the Federal Reserve's RRP facility may have a permanent home as part of the money fund ecosystem, and the industry's slow but steady push toward central clearing as the mid-2027 deadline inches closer.

The lecture examines societal dynamics through property rights, scarcity, and abundance within statist systems, contrasting them with free societies. The speaker highlights the transition from hunting to agriculture, which formalizes property rights and fosters productivity and wealth. He discusses the emergence of societal stratification and its moral implications, emphasizing that unresolved wealth disparities can incite conflict. The impact of sophistry on rational thought is noted as a barrier to progress. Ultimately, the lecture advocates for a return to foundational truths about property rights to address modern inequities and promote equity.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

She's got this no-BS vibe (my kinda gal) and makes the whole “abundance” thing feel accessible… and dare I say… fun?In this episode, we go deep into the sneaky money blocks that might be holding you back—like thinking rich people are jerks or feeling guilty about charging for your services. And she also shares some real talk on why self-sabotage kicks in the moment things start to get good.We also get into the wild idea that you're actually allowed to like money. Yep. Not just tolerate it or hope to make enough to cover the mortgage—but to enjoy it, feel safe around it, and let it support the version of you that is totally thriving. (Mind. Blown.)I also share a few of my own (messy) money stories and Denise coached me right there on the podcast. Like, actual breakthroughs. And if I can have them while podcasting in my gym shorts—you can totally have them too.So if you're ready to ditch the scarcity, make bank, and keep it real? This episode's for you.What's Inside:Why Denise believes everyone has money trauma—and how to stop letting it call the shotsHow to rewrite the old stories (from your family, culture, or industry) that keep you under-earningWhy manifesting isn't about “thinking positive” 24/7—and what actually worksHow to set up your life to be wildly abundant, without burning out or selling your soulReal Talk—Let's Dream Big for a Sec: What does “rich” actually mean to you?

Because I'm telling you—whatever version of rich you're dreaming about? That could totally be you.Denise and I are proof that you can want money, feel good about it, and still be a grounded, generous badass.

This isn't just another money mindset episode — this is a transmission straight from the soul of money.   In this milestone 250th episode, I'm cracking open a conversation I've been holding close to my heart for years: your relationship with money inside of your business — and how to finally shift it from fear, scarcity, and pressure… into deep trust, grounded power, and lasting abundance.   I take you behind the scenes into my own journey — from being the coach who had no idea where her next sale was coming from (hi, Scarcity was basically my middle name), to becoming a woman who knows how to hold, create, and lead with money in a way that's powerful, embodied, and real.   Inside this episode, I'll guide you through:  

Welcome to Sales & Cigars, the sales podcast where the only smoke we blow is from cigars. On today's episode, host Walter Crosby is joined by guest Ethan Decker for a tactical discussion on branding for entrepreneurs, at times employing what can at times seem like counterintuitive, and a much needed discussion on the best drink pairings for cigars.   To begin, Ethan shares his early dreams of Broadway and environmental science, detailing his journey through music and ecology, and how he “fell backwards” into marketing and advertising. Walter and Ethan exchange stories about career pivots, risk-taking, and the role of serendipity in their professional paths. Ethan shares how his diverse background shapes his approach.    Next, Walter recalls a thought-provoking post by Ethan in which he introduces the main branding concept of the episode. Ethan's approach of translating scientific research into practical branding advice, makes complex data simple and actionable for entrepreneurs.The core discussion centers around what Ethan emphasizes truly drives market share, referencing research by Bruce Clark and others. A key finding reveals that the number of buyers is the most crucial factor in market share growth—more significant than loyalty, repeat purchases, or celebrity endorsements. The discussion also covers key metrics like “share of wallet” , along with the challenges of increasing customer frequency versus expanding the customer base.   The conversation then delves into how product availability and distribution impact brand growth, using examples from the spirits industry (e.g., Tin Cup vs. Maker's Mark). Ethan explains that while scarcity can be effective for luxury brands, most brands benefit more from being widely available. Walter and Ethan explore the realities of cross-selling, using examples from B2B promotional products and the banking industry. As the hosts discuss how entrepreneurs and sales leaders should allocate their efforts,  Ethan uses the “Plinko” metaphor to illustrate the unpredictability of new customers and the importance of casting a wide net. This part of the conversation reinforces that most growth comes from new customers, not from trying to make existing customers buy everything.   Finally, to wrap up Ethan describes his home bar setup, featuring over 200 bottles and unique cheese knives made from old wrenches. The discussion predictably turns to drink recommendations for pairing with cigars, including rare bourbons, scotches, and armagnac. This episode concludes with a reminder to focus on growing your customer base and to enjoy the journey—preferably with a good drink in one hand and a cigar in the other.    Key Points: Data-driven branding strategies Market share growth through customer acquisition The role of product availability and distribution Limitations and risks of cross-selling The impact of brand loyalty versus buyer penetration Scarcity and exclusivity in luxury branding Simplifying complex marketing concepts for practical use Ethan Decker on Linkedin Applied Brand Science  The Business Tune Up More About Walter  More Episodes of Sales & Cigars   

In this transformative episode, C.T. Johnson is joined by financial strategist and cultural economist Justin L. Enlow to challenge everything you thought you knew about money. Together, they explore how inherited beliefs, emotional trauma, and unspoken financial “scripts” hinder our economic future—and how to transition from survival mode to strategic stewardship.CONNECT WITH CT JOHNSON

That Was The Week publisher Keith Teare argues we're “accelerating” toward an age of “abundance” in which AI and automation will slash production costs to near-zero, freeing humans to pursue hobbies instead of jobs. I'm less optimistic. I don't disagree with Keith's premise that AI will profoundly change not just our economy but our society and politics. But abundance? Who will own these AI factories? How will profits and wealth be distributed? Keith envisions massive corporate tax rates (up to 98%) redistributing automated profits, while I question whether people actually want a post-work world of ubiquitous stamp collectors or novelists. Our debate captures the gulf between Silicon Valley's utopian promises and the harsh political realities of the 2020s. Will technological abundance liberate humanity or concentrate power among tech giants and impoverish the rest of us? Five Key Takeaways * The Economics Are Clear, Politics Are Messy - Keith argues we're economically heading toward abundance through AI/automation reducing costs to near-zero, but admits the political question of wealth distribution remains "contested" and could lead to either democracy or autocracy.* Work vs. Hobbies Debate - Keith believes most people work jobs they don't love just to afford the things they do love, so abundance would free them to pursue passions. I counter that most people don't have hobbies and actually like having jobs.* The 98% Solution - Keith's preferred path to shared abundance: massive corporate tax rates on automated production (up to 98%) to redistribute AI-generated wealth, creating something "better than the Swedish system."* Big Tech Will Lead, Like It or Not - We both agree government won't drive this transformation—it'll be Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and others. The question is whether they'll be regulated/taxed or become "modern-day empires."* Scarcity in the Age of Abundance - It's a paradox. While promising intellectual abundance, we're seeing increased physical scarcity (land, immigration restrictions, declining birth rates) driven by political insecurity about the future.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom and his co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of current events and big ideas shaping our world. From Elon Musk waving goodbye to the “Doge cuts” and reflections on America's wild economic ride, to the drama of world leaders like Macron and the ongoing tension between global powers, this conversation pulls no punches. Tom breaks down the real state of our financial system—likening it to the Titanic heading for an iceberg—and explains why having a personal “life raft” like Bitcoin or gold might just be your best bet. Together, he and Drew tackle questions about government spending, hard money, and why even the most brilliant minds can't always fix a broken system. But it's not just economics on the table; prepare for a deep discussion about the dangers and potential of AI—as Drew shares new revelations about an AI model showing signs of self-preservation, deception, and even attempts at replicating itself. The conversation spins further out to explore the dangers of centralized digital currencies, the complexities of trusting experts, and the importance of questioning authority—especially when the stakes are sky-high.

Your abundance isn't something that can be taken away. It's a part of you.We've all heard the phrase “money can't buy happiness.” And while those of us at TBM know it's true, we're also aware of the world we live in, one where money is needed to meet our basic needs and help us enjoy material comforts. There is a simple, uniting truth we're here to share with you: You cannot manifest true abundance (spiritual OR material) without a foundation of authenticity. Until you investigate the narratives you've been holding onto and heal those subconscious wounds, you'll always seek corrective, surface-level experiences rather than the answers to your authentic wants and needs.This episode explores five unique levels (outlined in our Money Quiz linked below) that serve as our starting point going into our new Money Challenge. If you've ever felt stuck in striving, uncertain about your next step, or quietly questioning if the life you've built reflects your truth—this is your call to return home to yourself. Our powerful 3-week challenge will guide you through the energetic terrain of wealth consciousness and reaffirm the truth: that money is never just about money—it's about healing, self-worth, and authenticity. Your financial story is your own. Your magic is right in front of you. Your abundance starts within.**Please note that our conversation in this episode is not intended as direct financial advice.

Have you ever thought, “I better eat this now—it's my only chance”? Or, “I can't throw that away. That would be wasteful.” Or maybe, “This is vacation food. It doesn't count.”  Welcome back to our 6 part series on excuses called Excuses Exposed. Today we're talking about Scarcity excuses. Scarcity excuses love to sound noble. Practical. Even generous. But underneath all that helpful-sounding logic is fear. Fear of missing out. Fear of being wasteful. Fear that if you don't eat it now, you'll never get the chance again. Scarcity thinking doesn't just affect your choices—it erodes your trust in yourself. Before we get into that, let's do a quick recap. In Episode 1, we laid the groundwork: excuses are just mental habits designed to protect you from discomfort. We talked through the Excuse-Proofing process—Pause, Ponder, Pivot, Practice. In Episode 2, we looked at emotional excuses—like “I deserve it” or “I just want it”—where food gets used as a shortcut to reward, comfort, or relief. Then in Episode 3, we explored minimizing excuses—those quiet little “just one bite” moments that add up more than we think. Today, we're looking at scarcity excuses—thoughts that make food feel like a limited-time offer, or a social obligation, or a moral duty to the Clean Plate Club. Let's dig into the fear of not having enough—even when you're already full. Ready? Let's go!   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Welcome to Session Six of our spring audio Bible study! We're studying The Gospel on the Ground, and we're so excited to join Kristi McLelland as she unpacks the life of the early church in the book of Acts and shows us that the kingdom of God is always on the move, always looking outward to bring meaning and joy to a world searching for true fulfillment and hope. Each week, we'll release the next teaching session, and we'll leave the audio up for all seven sessions through June 16.In Session Four, we continue to discuss the witness of the early church in the world, the godly Kingdom of Abundance moving into an Empire of Scarcity. Members of the early church set themselves apart in the way they loved others, their refusal to worship the emperor and their willingness to lay down their lives for the kingdom of God. Kristi encourages us to follow God's call on our lives because He alone is worthy of our worship.LINKSThe Gospel on the GroundMore from KristiRECOMMENDEDRead this article by Kristi on the Lifeway Women blog about partnering with God in prayer. MARKED is a podcast from Lifeway Women: https://women.lifeway.com/blog/podcasts/.Hosted by Elizabeth Hyndman and Andrea Lennon.CONNECT WITH US!Follow Lifeway Women and Kristi McLelland on Instagram.Learn more about the Daring Joy Bible study at lifeway.com/daringjoy.

Podcast Notes Episode 466 Exploring the Principles of Influence with Wes Bryant Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Wes Bryant Brian and Wes meet again, this time exploring Dr. Robert Cialdini's seven principles of ethical influence—Liking, Reciprocity, Social Proof, Unity, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity. Drawing from years of research and practical coaching experience, they unpack how these principles show up naturally in everyday life and how they can be used truthfully, wisely, and generously. With personal stories, biblical connections, and actionable insights, the series emphasizes that influence isn't about manipulation—it's about building trust, offering value, and creating alignment between your message and your audience's motivations. Key Highlights:          Liking & Unity: People say yes to those they like or feel connected to. Shared identity builds faster, deeper rapport than shared interests alone.          Reciprocity & Generosity: Give first—genuinely, without strings. True service often leads to unexpected opportunities and relationships.          Social Proof: Others' voices carry weight. Testimonials, champions, and visible approval signal credibility and trustworthiness.          Authority & Consistency: People follow perceived experts and prefer to stay consistent with prior commitments. Use micro-agreements and visible endorsements wisely.          Scarcity Drives Action: Real limits (time, spots, access) motivate decisions. But urgency must be truthful—false pressure breaks trust. Takeaways:          Serve First, Then Ask – Generosity leads to reciprocity; people help those who help them.          Show You Belong – Build unity by naming your niche and connecting through shared identity.          Use Testimonials Thoughtfully – Let satisfied clients or respected voices advocate for you.          Ask Clearly, Set Real Limits – Micro-commitments boost follow-through; true scarcity drives decision-making.

Do you ever find yourself holding back when you invest in training because you're worried about wasting time or money? That fear can quietly limit how much you get from any experience. In this episode, I explore how approaching investments as a relationship rather than a transaction opens up space for real growth and transformation.   I share how I think about every investment I make—from low-ticket to five-figure training—not by the price tag but by the intention and presence I bring. This shift moves you out of measuring how much you consume and into how fully you engage. Showing up as a co-creator shapes the transformation you receive and the impact you make.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/228

“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” — Luke 12:15In an age of instant gratification, getting what we want has never been easier, even if we can't afford it. But as “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) services become increasingly popular, they're quietly reshaping our relationship with money, debt, and even contentment. Let's explore how these programs work, why they're spiritually and financially dangerous, and how Scripture invites us into a better way.What Is Buy Now, Pay Later?Originally used for large purchases like furniture or electronics, BNPL services now allow consumers to split nearly any purchase into multiple payments—even cheeseburgers. DoorDash, for example, lets customers finance their food in four installments. The convenience may seem harmless, but it can mask deeper issues.Companies like Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, Zip, Sezzle, and PayPal offer these options at checkout. According to Experian, more than 80% of U.S. shoppers have used BNPL. The ease is attractive, but the long-term impact can be devastating.BNPL makes it seem like you're not going into debt, but that's exactly what's happening. Small recurring payments across multiple platforms add up fast, leading to overdraft fees, financial stress, and, in many cases, high interest rates—some as high as 36% for missed or extended payments.A $60 DoorDash meal split into four $15 payments doesn't seem bad—until you do it for every meal. Or take a $3,000 couch bought with a BNPL plan: one missed payment, and that couch could ultimately cost $8,000 due to fees and interest.Scripture's Warnings About DebtThe Bible doesn't shy away from warning us about the dangers of debt. Proverbs 22:7 tells us, “The borrower is the slave of the lender.” Debt isn't just a financial issue—it can become an emotional and spiritual burden, dividing our attention and devotion.In Luke 12:15, Jesus reminds us that “life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Yet BNPL feeds the lie that more stuff equals more satisfaction. Instead of trusting God to provide, we try to manufacture comfort and control through impulsive spending.Why are we tempted to buy now and pay later? Often, it's not out of need, but out of insecurity, impatience, or discontentment. Paul models a better path in Philippians 4:11–13: “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content...I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”True contentment doesn't come from a checkout screen—it comes from trusting the Lord to provide, even when the budget feels tight.A Better Way: Practical and Spiritual WisdomSo, how do we resist the pull of BNPL and grow in godly contentment?Practically:Build margin. Save up for purchases ahead of time.Budget for “wants.” Use a separate category or envelope system.Set spending limits. Use cash or debit card to help avoid overspending.Spiritually:Examine your heart. Ask: Am I trusting God, or just trying to feel better?Pursue contentment. Let God define your enough.Practice gratitude. Train your heart to see God's provision in what you already have.Freedom to Live GenerouslySaying no to unnecessary debt frees us to say yes to generosity. When we live with open hands and open hearts, we reflect the freedom we have in Christ—freedom from striving, fear, and scarcity. And that's far better than four easy payments.So next time you see a “Pay in 4” button, pause. Ask yourself: Do I really need this? Can I pay for it in full? And does this reflect trust in God, or just in a payment plan?Wise stewardship begins with contentment, and contentment begins with Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are sending our son on a five-week mission trip to Scotland. We're debt-free and want our kids to stay that way. I'm hesitant to open a credit card, but what's the best, safest way to give him access to money while he's overseas?We recently sold our home at a profit, bought a new one, and are now debt-free. However, the new home needs repairs, and we still have a mortgage. Should we tithe on the profit from the home sale, or use those funds for the house needs?I'm a recently retired teacher with two annuities—one worth $19,000 and the other about $13,000. I've just opened an IRA and wonder if I should roll the annuities into it, or if there might be a better strategy.I've inherited a large amount of cash-valued property and need guidance on how to manage it wisely, especially to minimize potential tax liability.We paid off our home in October 2024.

Scarcity mindsets don't build abundant lives. In this episode, Kim sits down with Kailani Raye, a clinical hypnotherapist, life coach, and sound healer, to unpack how the stories we tell ourselves—consciously and subconsciously—shape the lives we live.Together, they explore how women internalize scarcity without even realizing it: through the media we consume, the people we watch, and the beliefs we absorb without question. Starting from childhood programming, Kim and Kailani break down how your inner monologue might be quietly convincing you to expect less, settle early, or wait to feel worthy.They dive into why so many women limit love, money and support to one source—and overlook the abundance that already exists in their friendships, community, and within themselves. They talk about what it really takes to shift from a place of limitation to a life of flow—how to get to the root of your desires, reframe your beliefs, and rewrite the story you've been living on loop.Kim's biggest takeaway? Being “realistic” is often just code for expecting the worst.THE GOOD STUFFFollow Kailani Raye - HEREWork With Kailani - HERESubmit Your Confessions - HERELET'S BE FRIENDS STEP 1 : Give us a 5-STAR reviewSTEP 2: Follow RLBG on Instagram - HERESTEP 3: Join the RLBG Community for access to exclusive events & LIVE girl talks - HERESTEP 4: Follow the International Pop Star "SlimKim" on TikTok & Instagram

Hey Heal Squad! Welcome to Part 1 of a special conversation with a familiar guest, Judy Wilkins-Smith, a leading expert in emotional DNA, systems work, and ancestral healing! Judy dives deep into how our unconscious family patterns (especially around money, fear, and identity) get passed down generation after generation. From emotional imprints to inherited beliefs, these “invisible loyalties” can keep us stuck in cycles of scarcity, self-sabotage, and even illness. This good news is, Judy explains how to recognize a generational pattern when it's running your life, how to trace it back to its origin, and most importantly, how to shift it using elevated emotion and intentional language. We also explore how inherited trauma shapes your nervous system, how your relationship with money is rarely just yours, and why feeling safe is the starting point for real growth. This episode will change how you see your past AND give you tools to create a different future! Enjoy!!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Inherited patterns are running the show. Many of your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors—especially around money, fear, and identity—aren't yours. They're inherited through your family system and can keep you stuck until you become conscious of them. Emotional DNA is just as powerful as physical DNA. The emotional patterns passed down from your ancestors impact your relationships, your career, and your health. Recognizing these patterns gives you the power to rewrite them. Scarcity is often a family story. Money blocks and financial fears are frequently passed down through generations. Until you identify the root belief, you'll continue reliving the same cycle. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off JUDY WILKINS-SMITH RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/judywilkinssmith/  Website: https://judywilkins-smith.com/  Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Power-Your-DNA-Genealogy/dp/B0D3414MVL Check out her upcoming event: https://judywilkins-smith.com/events/breakthrough-dna/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
