Taylor Scott is a hospitality lifer turned leadership coach who cut his teeth at Walt Disney World, led sales at Disney Vacation Club, and earned his MBA from Cornell's Hotel School. He's the author of Lead with Hospitality and the leadership fable Give Hospitality, translating world-class service principles into practical playbooks for teams. Susan and Taylor talk about connection, culture, and coaching. What You'll Learn About: • Why "don't reply to everything" is terrible leadership advice. • How sales and leadership mirror each other: build trust fast, influence behavior faster. • The Connect–Serve–Engage–Inspire framework you can run on a busy lobby shift. • LEAD as a service checklist: Listen, Educate, Act, Deliver. • The mindset shift from SOP security blanket to entrepreneurial trial-and-error. • Grad school's real ROI: "building shelves" in your brain + a global network. • How to lead high achievers with the 3 C's: Choice, Competence, Community. • "Guest first, team always" and "Purpose over policy" as decision filters. • Turning fear-based flailing (hello, mushroom panic) into guest-centered choices. • Why the next leadership frontier is re-teaching human connection in an AI world. Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Leadership and Sales Share the Same Core: Connection and Influence Taylor makes the case that sales is leadership, and leadership is sales. In both roles, success depends on making people trust and like you quickly, then inspiring them to take action. His "Lead with Hospitality" framework — Connect, Serve, Engage, Inspire — provides a clear path for achieving this in daily operations: connect with people on a human level, serve them first, engage with generosity and purpose, and inspire them through storytelling and authenticity. 2. The Best Leaders Create Environments for Motivation Drawing from the self-determination theory, Taylor explains that people become self-motivated when they experience choice, competence, and community — his "three C's." High achievers, in particular, thrive when leaders give them autonomy, recognize their expertise, and foster a sense of belonging. Leadership isn't about control; it's about designing the conditions where people can thrive. 3. Purpose Over Policy: Leading with Humanity From his experiences at Disney and Cosmopolitan, Taylor emphasizes two enduring leadership mantras: "Guest first, team always" and "Purpose over policy." Great leaders prioritize people and purpose over rigid rules, empowering teams to make guest-centered decisions. As hospitality evolves with AI and generational change, Taylor predicts the next frontier of leadership will be relearning how to connect on a human level — teaching empathy, conversation, and connection in an increasingly digital world.

Having conquered the land, Joshua released the eastern tribes to return to their land and their families. These tribes built an altar by the Jordan to serve as a witness that they would always be a part of the people of God. As his final official act, Joshua and the tribal elders renewed the covenant with God.

Christian business owners carry a guilt complex. You make money, and immediately feel like you need to explain it away. "Well, we're giving 10% to missions." "We're trying to be good stewards." "It's not about the money." But here's what you're actually saying: "Making profit feels wrong, so let me show that I'm one of the good ones." If you feel guilty about making money, then you've accepted the premise that profit is morally suspect. That success needs justification. That if you're doing well, you must be doing something wrong—or at least, something morally neutral that needs to be redeemed by doing something _actually_ good with it. Serve your customers. Make good products. Create good jobs. And thank the Lord as you steward your business under God's provisional blessing. Stop apologizing for success.

Here are some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the Solemnity of Christ the King. (Lectionary #162) November 17, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

In the immediate aftermath of her conviction, there was significant debate and scrutiny over where Ghislaine Maxwell would serve her prison sentence following her 20-year federal judgment for sex-trafficking and related charges tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Initially, Maxwell was placed at the low-security women's federal prison, Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee in Florida. The placement raised questions because, given the severity of her crimes and high-profile nature of the case, many observers expected her to be assigned to a facility with stricter security settings. Critics argued that a low-security placement might not reflect the gravity of her offenses or adequately account for necessary protections and oversight.The debate intensified when, in 2025, Maxwell was unexpectedly transferred from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security camp Federal Prison Camp, Bryan in Bryan, Texas—one of the most lenient levels of federal prison. The transfer occurred shortly after she met with the Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and it sparked concerns among lawmakers who questioned whether this move constituted preferential treatment for someone convicted of facilitating the sexual abuse of minors. Some called for transparency and accountability, demanding records about how security designations are decided and whether her placement adhered to normal Bureau of Prisons policy or was outside standard procedure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this repost episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with investor and educator Jason Graystone (host of Always Free Podcast) to rip apart the myths of "financial freedom." They draw a hard line between owning a business and buying yourself a job, unpack the two stages of freedom (independence → autonomy), and get practical about building assets, systems, and delegation so income isn't tied to your hours. Kaylor challenges listeners to create purpose through service instead of endlessly "finding" it, while Jason lays out money habits that turn surplus cash into investments you can sleep on. They also tackle imposter syndrome (why it's a growth signal), fair exchange, and optimizing for fulfillment over vanity metrics. If you're ready to reclaim your time, scale with leverage, and build wealth that supports your mission, this replay is your blueprint.   Episode Highlights: financial freedom, money mindset, entrepreneurship, passive income, delegation, investing, Bitcoin, purpose, imposter syndrome, fulfillment, service, freedom, mindset shifts       Takeaways: Financial freedom has two stages: independence and autonomy Buying yourself a job isn't entrepreneurship Master delegation and automation to scale your time Passive income means one hour of work per year for returns Build assets and systems before chasing new ideas Serve others first — fulfillment fuels financial growth Stop pedestalizing money and define enough for you     If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

This week on the Iowa City Church sermon podcast, we continue our Our Church series with a message called "Shaped for a Purpose." In this sermon, we explore how God has uniquely designed each of us—through our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences—to live a life of meaningful service. When we discover our SHAPE, we begin to understand the specific calling God has placed on our lives. You'll hear how Jesus modeled purposeful service and why embracing the way God crafted you leads to deeper joy, clearer direction, and a more vibrant faith. The big idea of the message is simple but powerful: "Discover your SHAPE, boldly embrace your calling, and experience the joy of living on purpose with Jesus." If you're longing to understand how God can use your everyday life to make a real difference, this is a message you won't want to miss. Tune in and be encouraged to step into the purpose God created you for.

What does it look like to live a life shaped by the gospel, not just saved by it?In this first message of the Made to Serve series, John Gunter preaches from Philippians 1 and 2, calling the church to unity, humility, and Christlike service. This message challenges listeners to look beyond personal comfort and embrace the mindset of Jesus, who emptied himself, became a servant, and gave his life as an example for us to follow.Key Takeaways:Unity is not about agreeing on everything. It is about agreeing on the most important thingHumility lifts others up instead of lifting yourself upA gospel-shaped life reflects Jesus in relationships, service, and sacrifice

Today, we wrap up our two-week Foundations series. The purpose of this series is to look at creating a strong discipleship in our lives. We will be looking at what is the foundation of discipleship and how we, as followers of Christ, can build off of that foundation. Today, we look at Mark 1:14-20, and the call of the first disciples. Jesus poses two statements in these 7 verses, which is what we build on our discipleship on.  Thank you again for joining us in worship.

Sunday, November 16: The Serve Men by FiredUp Network

Are you living with a napkin on your lap or a towel over your arm? It's time to stop sitting in the booth demanding to be served. True hospitality means trading the mindset of a customer, who is preoccupied with their own life, for the mindset of a servant. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. The real challenge is to make the change from the napkin, which we use to be served, to the towel, which we use to serve others. This means we stop acting like customers and start asking one simple question in every situation: "What would a servant do?" Hospitality isn't something to discuss; it's something to do. 

You're not just a human having a spiritual experience; you're a spiritual being, created and gifted by God, living out His purpose right here and now. In this message, we'll discover how the Holy Spirit gives each of us spiritual gifts, not to impress others, but to bless the Church and bring Jesus' presence to the world.

Jesus provides the perfect example for us, not serving episodically, but over the long term, in a very personal and relational way. Join us for the second week of #DoGood - where we will be diving deep into how we can make a lasting impact in our communities by who and how we serve! And don't forget to pick up your #DoGood bag, as we come together to support the local shelter in our area this winter, as they serve critical needs in our communities.

In this sermon from The Mountain Church, the pastor examines the Elijah-Elisha narrative to reveal how God breaks isolation through generosity and service. He highlights that Elisha—a successful farmer with no religious background—responded to God's calling by immediately abandoning his livelihood, sacrificing his oxen, and humbly serving Elijah before becoming a prophet himself. The core message emphasizes that God's anointing first leads to serving others rather than authority, encouraging listeners to find mentors, gain wisdom through humble service, and embrace Jesus's model of leadership as foot-washing rather than power-wielding.

Jesus gave the church power and authority; He wants us to be active in this world on His behalf. By Pastor Shawn Lyons.

Not to Be Served but to ServeOne of the favorite things to do is listen to children talk about what they want to be when they grow up. “I want to be a teacher!” “I want to be a nurse!” “I want to be a preacher!” “I want to be a professional ball player!” “I want to be a garbage man!” (Yes, I have heard that) I have heard lots of aspirations from the children I have been around. I have seen in their games the imitation of future vocations, and it is a beautiful thing, something we should not take for granted, the fact that our children even dream of a future. But there is one thing I have never heard a child say they aspire to be or even mimic in their play, and that is, “I want to be a servant.”We should not expect that, the image of a servant being one who serves, one who is not their own master, and sort of lives to do the bidding of another, and yet……In our text, Jesus gives the closest thing to a person's mission statement that I can find in the Bible, and he said this: “I came not to be served but to serve….” The Lord of Glory, creator of all that we see, worthy of all glory and adoration, comes not with the trappings of royalty, but with a towel, at the lowest place, washing our dirty feet. Yeah, Jesus sort of turns the values of the world, the things we value the most, on its head and further declares that the way to gut-wrenching joy is not through power and control but through being a servant, through serving the most. Is this even possible? If so, how do we even wrap our imagination around this? Well, this Sunday, I invite you to wrestle with this with me. Interested? Believe me, I get it if you are not, this is too radical, perhaps too costly, and a bridge too far. But if the one we claim to follow says this is the way, we'd best listen up. Hope to see you this Sunday!

When we recognize how great God's love is for us, the only response is to love him in return. No one has done for us what God has done. No one has given to us what God has given. Jesus laid down his life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we could have forgiveness and eternal life. It is the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever seen.Main Points:1. Loving God is our great motivation to serve. It is not a drudgery to serve God. It is not a burden or an obligation. It is not a problem to serve Him. If Jesus would go to the cross for us, we should willingly and lovingly serve Him in return.2. Having been changed by the love of God, we love him in return. This love compels us to follow, surrender, serve, and obey.3. Join me in asking God to help us to love Him more. I believe this prayer honors the Lord. He will give us a greater capacity to love and it will become the motivation for all we do.Today's Scripture Verses:Romans 5:8 - “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”John 14:15 - “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”2 Corinthians 5:14 - “For the love of Christ compels us…”Matthew 22:37 - “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

It's one of the most valuable things we have—and one of the easiest to waste. We've all heard the saying, “Time is money.” But if that's true, why do we spend it so carelessly? The truth is, time is worth far more than dollars and cents—it's the most limited resource God has given us. Learning to steward it well isn't just good productivity advice—it's an act of worship.If you've ever said, “I just need a little more time,” you're not alone. Many of us feel the pressure of time slipping through our fingers. Ironically, we often spend our days chasing money, status, or success—only to run out of the very thing we were trying to “buy back.”We treat time like a renewable resource when it's really more like a savings account that's constantly being drawn down. Every hour that passes is one you'll never get back. Yet our culture tempts us to equate our worth with how much we earn or produce.A Biblical View of TimeScripture offers a radically different view. In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” He's not talking about counting hours on a clock but realizing that our time is limited—and therefore deeply valuable.From a biblical perspective, time isn't ours to manage however we wish. It's a gift from God, entrusted to us for His purposes. Just as money and talents belong to Him, so does our time.In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul writes, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” The original Greek phrase for “making the best use” literally means “redeeming the time”—buying it back for God's glory. It's the same word Paul uses elsewhere to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross.Christ redeemed us from sin and emptiness, giving our lives eternal meaning. In the same way, we're called to redeem our time—to invest every moment, conversation, and decision in what will last forever.Here's the catch: if you don't decide what your time is worth, someone else will. Your job, your phone, your inbox, even social media—all have plans for your time. Unless you set boundaries, your days will fill up with things that seem urgent but aren't truly important.Jesus modeled something completely different. Even with the most important mission in history, He took time to rest, pray, eat with friends, and be fully present with people. He had the margin to be interrupted—to stop for the sick, listen to the hurting, and teach those who were searching. He never rushed, yet He always fulfilled the Father's will.How to Steward Your Time WellSo how can we live as if our time truly belongs to God?1. Reevaluate Your PrioritiesEvery decision is a trade. When you say yes to one thing, you say no to something else. Ask yourself, “What matters most in God's eyes—and am I giving that my best time?”2. Measure Time by Meaning, Not MoneyOur culture values time by dollars per hour, but God's economy works differently. A quiet afternoon encouraging a friend may not pay in cash—but it yields eternal dividends. As Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”3. Build Margin into Your LifeJust as financial margin creates freedom to give, time margin allows you to live generously. When you're not overscheduled, you can pause to listen, serve, or rest. Sabbath isn't wasted time—it's holy time that reminds us that God is in control.4. Steward Small MomentsEternal impact isn't found only in big events. It's in the five minutes you pray for someone, the ten minutes you spend in Scripture, or the conversation that points someone to Jesus. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”Making Your Hours Count for EternityWhen you see your time through an eternal lens, every moment takes on new meaning. You stop chasing the clock and start cherishing what truly matters. Missionary C.T. Studd once wrote, “Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.”So what's your time really worth? It's worth exactly what you invest in eternity.Don't just count your hours—make your hours count. Live intentionally. Rest purposefully. Serve generously. And let every day remind you of the One who holds all time in His hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have two kids—a 14-year-old and a newborn—and just opened brokerage accounts for them. What are the best investment options, especially for my newborn with a longer time horizon? I'd like something more flexible than a college savings plan.I retired at 59 and receive Social Security disability. My home is paid off, I have no debt, and I have savings in retirement and trading accounts. I'm thinking about buying a new car with cash to avoid debt, but would it be wiser to finance or lease instead?I recently bought an RV with dealership financing at 7.9% for 20 years, though I don't plan to keep it that long. Does simple interest work the same across all banks, and is there a good calculator for figuring out principal payments on early payoff? Also, where could I refinance to get a lower rate?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Calculator.net | Credit Karma (Simple Loan Calculator) | Calculator SoupList of Faith-Based Investment FundsWisdom 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)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

It feels like just a moment ago that we were ushering in Samhain, and now Christmas and Yule are a mere 6 weeks away. For some, this time of year is steeped in excitement and gratitude, for others it's cloaked with stress and anxiety. What if we could shape our holiday narrative by acknowledging what really matters to us this season? Rather than getting caught up in the traditions and expectations of years passed, what if we first asked ourselves, “What has this past year been like for me?”. From this place of knowing, we can determine if we need rest… celebration… gathering… solitude. Maybe what we need is to remember the beauty of a slow, soulful, simple holiday. As we wander the paths on this blustery morning, consider how you want to feel as you bring 2025 to a close.What am I reading?A House Between Sea and Sky by Beth Cato https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781662527760Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year by Beth Kemptonhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781982151867https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?She's Not Gone Yet But She's Leaving by The Fratellis What's for dinner?Mystical Witch SoupIngredients:1 tablespoon olive oil1 large onion, chopped3 cloves garlic, minced2 carrots, diced2 celery stalks, sliced1 cup butternut squash, cubed1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained4 cups vegetable broth1 teaspoon thyme1 teaspoon sage1/2 teaspoon cinnamonSalt and black pepper to tasteOptional garnishes: fresh parsley, a drizzle of coconut milk, or chili flakesInstructions:In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

How are church workers formed at Concordia University Chicago (CUC)? Dr. Russell Dawn (President of Concordia University Chicago) and Kyle Thoms (Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Enrollment at Concordia University Chicago) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about why they love being at CUC, the church work programs available at CUC and how each of them serves the church, why church work programs are important to CUC, and what makes CUC a unique experience for college students. Learn more about Concordia University Chicago at cuchicago.edu. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation. To learn more about Set Apart to Serve, visit lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve. Have a topic you'd like to hear about on The Coffee Hour?

In week two of our Called to Serve series, Pastor Josh reminds us that true service isn't about recognition — it's about humility and love in action. Just as Jesus washed His disciples' feet, we're called to serve those closest to us with the same heart — not for applause, but to reflect His character in our everyday lives. Learn how the ordinary, unseen moments — cooking dinner, helping your family, serving quietly at work — can become acts of worship that shape us to be more like Jesus.

With nearly 30 years of event planning experience and 15 years as the founder of Winning Touch Event Design, she blends logistics and heart-centered transformation. Her mission? To help people pause, ask deeper questions, and reconnect with the why behind their actions. "An event is supposed to cause change — people should leave different than when they came in." "Don't wait for a tragedy to be your catalyst. Let a luxurious retreat be your wake-up call." "Value means putting yourself in the equation — not after the job, the family, or the to-do list, but now." DeShawn Wynn shares the behind-the-scenes truths of event planning and the powerful inner work needed to live with intention. She discusses her transformational retreats, the importance of mindset, and how understanding your "why" can shift everything. This episode is a roadmap for moving from autopilot to purposeful action — without waiting for crisis.

THE HANGOVER COMETH! It's an action packed extravaganza with two absolutely bad ass new films, hot off the presses: 'Predator: Badlands' and Edgar Wright's 'The Running Man'! We dive deep into what we loved (and didn't love) about the next chapters of these beloved 80's IPs. We also get into the nitty gritty about Hollwood's disappointing box office last month, and Joe's controversial take on exactly WHY this October slump happened at all (spoiler alert: it's Marvel's fault).  WE LOVE YOU ALL!

Military life isn't just about the soldier who serves—it's about the family who serves alongside them. From surprise deployments to frequent moves and long separations, military families carry unique burdens that most civilians may never fully understand. In this week's heartfelt episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose invite listeners to pause and consider what it really means to live out the Gospel by serving the "homefront heroes" in our communities.  With Veterans Day fresh in our hearts, Melissa and Natalie open an honest conversation about how to support military families in both spiritual and practical ways. Drawing from John 15:13, they explore how Christ modeled the greatest act of love—laying down His life for His friends—and how believers can reflect that same sacrificial love toward those who sacrifice for our nation's freedom every day.  You'll hear personal reflections, stories from AHG Members connected to the military, and wisdom from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute. Together, these voices remind us that supporting military families isn't just patriotic—it's profoundly Biblical.  Whether through prayer, friendship, or hands-on service, this episode will inspire you and your daughter to become the hands and feet of Jesus to families who serve and sacrifice.  Three Things to Remember This Week  Extend Gospel compassion: Look for ways to connect with and encourage military families in your church or community—especially during seasons of deployment or transition.  Serve practically and prayerfully: Simple acts like helping with a household repair or offering childcare can lighten heavy burdens and reflect Christ's love in action.  Teach your daughter to honor sacrifice: Help her understand that service and freedom are gifts—reminding her that true freedom is found in Christ alone.    Scripture References in This Episode  John 15:13 – "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."  Galatians 6:10 – "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."  Romans 12:10 – "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."  Philippians 2:4 – "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."  Learn more about how American Heritage Girls honors our nation's heroes through programs like the U.S. Military Heroes Badge at americanheritagegirls.org.  Explore more Gospel-centered parenting resources at raisinggodlygirls.com.
