Brad Crowell 0:01 Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:04 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:48 Hi, Be It babe, happy Fuck Yeah Friday. We made it. We're here. We did it, and today's a holiday. And so I am super excited, because I told my team I want to take every bank holiday off, and so I'm off. And probably sticking around where I live, to be honest, because we're traveling later, and I'll have more FYFs on that. But at any rate, if you celebrate this holiday, Happy Holiday. You guys, we do this is a short, quick, inspirational episode to, like, just help you, like, kick the weekend off on a high note, because, oh my God, if you're like, waiting for Friday and go, okay, the weekend is here, and that's the win because I don't have to work. That's not what we want. We want to actually, like, celebrate the things in between. So I also share something that inspired me on the internet, because we need something inspirational then I give your wins and I give my wins. Lesley Logan 1:34 So here we go. This is 18 brutal sentences that could change your life. Some of these will sting. This is from Alpha Woman Mindset on Instagram. Some of these will sting. All of them will wake you up. So I'm ready for this. 18 of them. One, you are what you do, not what you say you'll do. So discipline doesn't speak it shows Ooh. Number two, the longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home. I love that one. Number three, every excuse you make is robbing your future blind. Number four, ambition without action doesn't make you powerful, it makes you anxious. Number five, keep every stone they threw at you. You got, you got an empire to build. Number six, the darkness in your mind doesn't erase the light in your heart. Number seven, becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot of goodbyes. That is true. Number eight, your comfort zone is a pretty prison, and you've been decorating it for too long. Number nine, if you don't build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs. Number 10, one day you'll wish you started today and tomorrow won't be another option anymore. Number 11, regret will always hurt more than discipline ever will. Number 12, we suffer more in our imagination than we ever will in reality. Stop writing tragedies that haven't happened yet. Oh, that's good. Number 13, at some point, the pain of staying stuck will outweigh the fear of moving forward. Number 14, your best moments will come from the risk you were too scared to take. Good. Okay, number 15, your future self is watching make her proud, not disappointed. Number 16, any lesson you avoid will come back louder next time. That's fucking true. Number 17, nothing is scarier than living your whole life knowing you had more in you. That is scary. 18, in the end, your only competition was a woman you could have become. Make sure she wouldn't pity you. These are amazing. She said, these are just weren't just sentences. They are mirrors. Don't just save this. Let it change you. So, you guys, I'll make sure the link is below if you want to read this and comment and share with a friend, it's so, so good. I think we all need something like that in our lives. So, so I'm super, super grateful that came across my feed, because I absolutely, absolutely needed to hear that I needed that in my life for sure. Lesley Logan 4:00 Okay, time for one of your wins. Lori Watson, a longtime Agency member OG, OG of the OPC members and OG eLevate member, one of our favorite humans in the world, said a shout out to Mindi and LL. This morning, Friday, I was able to do Tuesday's reform with Mindi and then the tower with Lesley. I did them both prior to seeing my 11 a.m. client, and incorporated both classes into our session. She loved it. So far, I've only made one class live, thank you, Yasmin, due to my schedule, so I'm glad I'll be able to get back and watch the replays. So that was during our Spring Training and Lori Watson got to have that amazing win. I think it's really fun, right? Like, you can't do something live, but you can access the replay, like, way to go, Lori, for celebrating that you did that. How many people sign up for things and then don't do it because they couldn't go live, or they don't sign up for things because they couldn't do it in the live? But there's a replay. You guys, there's a lot of things in life that have replays, and if you watch the replay, that's a double win, because not only do you sign up for the thing, but then you took time out of the day without accountability to do it. So way to go, Lori Watson. Lesley Logan 5:03 Melissa Capitano, also been an eLevate an Agency member, one of our favorite studio owners. She's kicking ass and doing a great job. She said, it's been a rough few weeks. Today, I knew I needed some Pilates, but couldn't get myself motivated, so I decided to do a one rep drill, and it felt so great to move. Yeah, the one rep drill for the win. You guys. If you don't know what that is, I am filming it for Pilates Anytime. It's going to be in an upcoming class that will come out so that you can literally log in, hit play and just do one rep of the mat. It's really, really amazing. It's really great. It's going to be in the next couple months. So hit us up if you're interested in it. But I think a lot of times we are like, oh my God, I don't have time for a full workout, so I'm just not going to do it. You'll never, have you ever felt better not doing the workout that you thought you could do? Like, no, you will always feel better if you do some movement. So there's that. So way to go,, Melissa Capitano, for teaching us that, reminding us of that. Lesley Logan 6:02 Okay, so here's what my win is. My win is eLevate, my mentorship program is just so great. It I learned so much. I learn, every time I teach eLevate, even though it's the same content, the stuff that I love, it's something I know, each group teaches me even more and I get to grow, and I get to watch them grow. So like, it's really, really awesome. And what I'm celebrating is that we are coming upon the Q&A part of where we do a live class and a live Q&A for people who are interested in eLevate who haven't applied yet. We're going into this. It'll be on July 9th, and so you can come if you want to come, just, just let us know, and we'll get you the link and everything. But we, were going into this with the program, all, more than half-filled, so I'm excited to see the face of people who are interested. I'm also a little nervous for them, because there's not a lot of spaces, and I cannot do more than two. I can only do the two that I'm doing next year. And so between those two rounds, we're more than half filled. And I'm just so proud of the team for all that they've done to make sure it's really easy for people, but also really proud of the work that I've done over the last several years putting together this program. Like, I know that can sound like a brag, but like, also we should brag a bit I've been working really hard on this program, and also the all the people who've done it after year after year, who tell people about it like, it's just a sign that, like this program, it really does what it says it's gonna do, and everyone wins. Then, like, my win is that everyone wins because in the future, clients are winning. It's just really cool. So I'm so proud. I can't even wait to see who comes live on Tuesday to that workout and that Q&A. But even if you're not a Pilates instructor, here's the deal, like, I hope my win shows you that you can be proud of things being half-filled, you can be proud of things you continue to do because they fill your cup and that they impact people. And doesn't have to be finished, right? Doesn't have to be finished. Make it a win. So there's that. Lesley Logan 7:49 Okay, I always leave you with a little mantra affirmation. So this one is there's always a way. I feel like that one might have come up before this year. So you know, because maybe we need to hear it. That's why it keeps coming up. There's always a way. And let's just do this one in case you're like, I don't need that one. I believe it already. Life is meant to be shared. Life is meant to be shared. So good, so amazing. All right. Loves Happy Friday. Want you to send your wins in you can actually send your wins and questions to the same place. We actually just made this link work. So I'm super excited. It's beitpod.com/questions so I know it says questions and you're like, but this is a win. You, there's a place to put either a question or a win, beitpod.com/questions we just made it all in one place. It's easy for us to either answer your questions on a recap or celebrate your wins on an FYF.

Talked about work styles in the Reiwa era, focusing on Gen Z. Shared how the younger generation communicates and values efficiency and flat hierarchies—introducing some "野菜用語" used in today's business scenes.Takeaways手書きの手紙は過去の文化であり、今後は減少するだろう。手書きの文化は消えつつあるが、懐かしさは残る。Z世代は効率的でシンプルなコミュニケーションを好む。長いメッセージや文書のやり取りは嫌われる傾向にある。助けを求めることは弱さではなく、チームワークの一部である。職場でのコミュニケーションはフラットでオープンであるべき。新しいビジネス用語が時代の変化を反映している。Z世代はメンタルヘルスを重視し、ストレスを避ける。コミュニケーションのスタイルは時代と共に変化している。✅ Get weekly reading materials for JLPT N3+ learners via Substackhttps://nihongostorytime.substack.com/✅ Join Patreon ($5/month) for exclusive episodes and bonus contenthttps://www.patreon.com/japanesewithnoriko✅ Practice and connect in Japanese Together — our global community & Podcast Clubhttps://japanese-together.mn.co
It always feels like an easy out to say a podcast conversation is “wide-ranging”, but when the guest has written best selling books for attorneys on everything from Introversion to Fear, it seems like the only descriptor broad enough to fit. Heidi K Brown is the Associate Dean of Upper Level Writing at the New York School of Law. Inspired by her own experiences untangling a fear of public speaking during her litigation career, Heidi is passionate about helping lawyers at every level find their authentic legal-voices through her teaching and her writing. Her books include, The Introverted Lawyer: A Seven-Step Journey Toward Authentically Empowered Advocacy, Untangling Fear in Lawyering: A Four-Step Journey Toward Powerful Advocacy, and The Flourishing Lawyer: A Multi-Dimensional Approach to Performance and Well-Being, and the recently released travel memoir - The Map I DrawWe discuss the importance of writer-identity and how she's helping her students to find their voices so that they can advocate from a place of authenticity. Of course, with the rise of Generative A.I., Heidi has had to pivot HOW she teaches - and the story of the first encounter with Chat GPT is worth the listen alone. We also talk about her own journey into the law, how she learned to leverage her introversion to her advantage, and how attorneys can benefit from embodying the mentality of professional athletes
Every Wednesday, Tony gives his perspective on listeners’ dilemmas.
Join us for a transformative discussion with Grammy-winning gospel artist Kirk Franklin, whose musical genius and unwavering faith have reshaped contemporary Christian culture. In one of the most raw and revealing Pivot Podcasts to date, Kirk sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred to open up about the deeply personal battles he's faced behind the spotlight. Known for his musical influence, Kirk shows a different side here—one marked by pain, healing, and redemption. With honesty, humor, and deep vulnerability, he talks about what it really takes to heal—when the cameras are off and the crowd is gone. The guys are able to get him to let his guard down, turn heavy moments light and provide a safe space as the conversation transcends into identity, family, and finding purpose not just through success, but through surrender. In this moving episode, Kirk opens up about: The art of writing hope: Exploring how music becomes a vessel for healing—both for himself and the world. Faith through the fire: Navigating personal struggles, spiritual seasons, and finding renewal in the midst of chaos. The scars of a turbulent upbringing – and how trauma shaped his views on love, trust, and self-worth. Faith when it's messy – how he wrestled with God during his darkest moments and found peace on the other side. Reuniting with the father he never knew – and the emotional toll of reconciling decades of abandonment. Fatherhood and forgiveness – breaking the cycle for his own children and choosing healing over bitterness. Leading with authenticity: What it means to shepherd a movement when you're also the one being led. With profound vulnerability and trademark energy, Kirk Franklin shares stories of redemption, breakthrough, and creative inspiration. This episode offers a blueprint for staying rooted in purpose, pursuing excellence, and never feeling to flawed to forgive and move forward. Comment and let us know your thoughts on this episode!

Matt Wolfe discusses how the StoryBrand framework transforms both marketing and workplace culture by positioning businesses as guides rather than heroes in their customers' stories. This approach creates shared identity and purpose among teams while improving external messaging, leading to better alignment between departments and stronger organizational culture overall. TAKEAWAYS StoryBrand positions businesses as guides helping customer heroes solve problems, not as heroes themselves. Shared brand stories create internal alignment and unified team identity beyond just marketing benefits. Implementation requires team conversations, consistent application across touchpoints, and regular reinforcement. A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

Dexter and Peanut have found a safe hiding place for Sherry and the Havenese Hawk, but when they get back to the office, they find that the dogs after Sherry and the Hawk are waiting for them. Does Dexter have a plan?
When in life you start to do things to improve and better yourself, there may be people around you who aren't doing that same thing. Maybe they're just coasting. Those people can sometimes feel threatened because they realize you're succeeding and putting in the effort and they are not. They may think their job is threatened, or it may just make them look bad. They may respond in ways that aren't always appropriate, and maybe, they are downright rude and intimidating. To quote the mentor of our guest, “Mr. Perry, you don't let nobody punk you.” You have to stand up for what you're doing and believe in it enough that it doesn't matter how people treat you. You judge if how they react is worth your time. Invest in it when it's worth your time to defend it. In this podcast with Wilson Matthew Betances of Energize Us LLC , We talk about the raw truth, we talk about the foundation of what it is that we need to do in the trades and how you need to be impacting the industry that you're in. We talk about some of the tools that you can use no matter how uncomfortable I might find them to be. The reality is, you establish yourself on a foundation of raw, real truth and you can stand up to anything or anyone that might be trying to put you back down.

Where in the world am I? Brazil planning Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Juliana who is from Brazil. She was a student of mine and now she works with me. She gave me a list of all the places in Brazil that I should be going to.She and I have known each other for 3 years. She's so beautiful and full of life. I'm so grateful for. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Should I carry books with me to read on the trip? I recommend you download them from your local or cloud library. Then you read on the go. Don't carry more than you need. 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select neighborhoods that are walkable and have public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either Today's destination is: Brazil.

This book must be published now because 14.8% of women are over 65, and most outlive their spouses. Another large chunk of women are in their 50s and early 60s and have years of activity to go. Plus, there are 38 million members of AARP, many looking for active choices on how they live and travel. Gone are the days of your travel agent booking your paper airline ticket. You will not likely contact a travel agent for your trip. The more we understand others and their cultures, the more we can get along with them. Dr. Mary Travelbest is like Rick Steves for Women adventure travelers who are seasoned in years but have yet to gain travel experience. My daughter, my co-author, Tina, and I have been traveling since she was born 22 years ago. She's also made many solo trips, including visiting her sister in China for a month this year. She's completed her degree in Business, working on a Master's degree, and living/working in the San Francisco area. This book needs to be published so the Golden Years can be just that for those who like active travel. The take away mantra is to go and find peace where you rest and bring good to others You can travel solo and never be alone. Dr. Travelbest.

In this episode of the Post Status Happiness Hour, Michelle Frechette and June Lui introduce Speed Network Online, a new virtual networking initiative for the WordPress community and beyond. They discuss the origins of the idea, event logistics, and the benefits of relaxed, pressure-free networking. The hosts explain how the event will operate, including registration, costs, and future dates, emphasizing the importance of building genuine connections and fostering collaboration in a supportive environment.Top Takeaways:Speed Network Online Was Born from a Real Networking Challenge: The idea originated during a casual conversation where June expressed her struggles expanding her network at large events like WordCamps. Michelle immediately acted on the concept, purchasing a domain and jumpstarting the project. This quick collaboration shows the power of shared vision and execution between community members.The Format Focuses on Accessibility and Practicality: Speed Network Online is designed to be a virtual, low-pressure alternative to traditional networking events. It uses Zoom breakout rooms for one-on-one chats and provides participants with a spreadsheet of contact info afterward, eliminating the need for frantic note-taking. The event is purposefully inclusive, affordable at $20, and structured to reduce anxiety and improve accessibility.The Platform Encourages Relationship-Building, Not Just Pitching: Unlike speed dating or surface-level interactions, the goal is not to “close deals” or just market yourself but to build a lasting network of complementary professionals. The event supports deeper connections that may evolve into partnerships, project collaborations, or referrals over time.Speed Network Online Is Community-Driven and Evolving: June built the website from scratch, and they've begun promoting the project through a new Twitter (X) account: @SpeedNetOnline. They also encourage participants to create WP World profiles to make it easier to stay connected post-event. Michelle emphasizes that these types of grassroots initiatives are powered by genuine collaboration and shared community goals.Mentioned In The Show:Backpocket AceWP Accessibility daySpeed Network OnlineThe WP WorldZoomMark Westguard WS FormNathan TylerN SquaredMeet Michelle.online
Engaging Through Adversity: Exploring Relationships, Commitment, and Minor League BaseballKey TakeawaysNavigating the complexities of commitment requires open communication and empathy, essential factors often overlooked in relationships.Engagement with personal passions, like minor league baseball, provides a unique avenue for stress relief and family bonding.Balancing personal desires with relationship responsibilities highlights the need for nuanced decision-making in long-term commitments.The Spirit of Minor League Baseball: More Than Just a GameThe transcript opens with Mike's anecdotal journey into the world of minor league baseball, a narrative that evolves from initial indifference to genuine enthusiasm. He highlights the allure of a local Triple-A baseball team: "They're one step under the majors… I've never seen a team like that." This experience mirrors a core theme—finding joy and excitement in seemingly mundane activities.Minor league baseball, as Mike describes, offers more than just a game. It creates a sense of community and connection, especially when contrasted with more commercially driven major league experiences. "The price was really intriguing… 50 bucks total, 25 a ticket," he shares, emphasizing accessibility and value. This affordability allows more frequent and intimate family outings, fostering deeper relational bonds.Furthermore, Mike's recollections of baseball as a medium for family interaction underscore its potential for enhancing relationship dynamics. Shared experiences, whether at a thrilling game or through everyday activities, can rejuvenate and build family cohesion, a crucial element often susceptible to neglect amidst life's pressures.Navigating Commitment: Challenges in Long-Term RelationshipsA significant portion of the dialogue transitions to the struggles within marriage, particularly when personal health challenges arise. Mike's candid introspection reveals the emotional and physical strain when a partner grapples with debilitating health issues. "I've told her what I need, but I feel those hard conversations only put more stress on her," Mike comments, highlighting the critical role communication plays in managing relationship complexities.The dialogue traverses the emotional landscape of maintaining commitment amidst adversity. Torya's emphatic stance—"When he married her, he promised in sickness and in health"—is a poignant reminder of marital vows. It emphasizes the ongoing, evolving nature of these commitments, urging couples to adapt and find strength through mutual understanding and empathy.Moreover, the idea of persistence in nurturing relationships emerges as a theme worthy of reflection. "He's a trash can, this dude. He's a trash can," Torya asserts, critiquing the apparent lack of effort to remedy relational distress. This tough-love perspective underscores the necessity of actively and continuously engaging in efforts to sustain relational well-being.Balancing Personal Needs with Relationship ResponsibilitiesThe discourse also delves into the tension between individual desires and collective responsibilities within marriage. Mike voices a yearning for partnership support: "Right now, I feel perpetually tired, alone, and starved for any type of affection." This longing for reciprocal involvement and support reflects the broader implications of balancing personal and familial obligations.However, the dialogue suggests that meeting personal needs should not come at the expense of relational integrity. Torya challenges Mike's perspective, advocating for a more inclusive approach: "Why not suggest that the two of you go to therapy?" This proposition acknowledges the need for collaborative problem-solving as a pathway to harmony, rather than unilateral decisions driven by unfulfilled desires.What emerges from their conversation is a nuanced understanding of commitment that goes beyond superficial expectations. By exploring avenues like shared therapy or open dialogues, couples can find equilibrium between personal satisfaction and shared responsibilities, ultimately reinforcing the foundational strength of their partnership.Thus, the transcript unveils significant layers of interacting themes: the unexpected joy from shared community experiences, like minor league baseball, the necessity for open dialogue in relationships, and the mindful navigation of personal versus collective needs. The conversation not only highlights these intricate dynamics but also offers profound insights into how individuals can foster resilient, thriving partnerships amidst adversity. By embracing empathy and mutual collaboration, the complexities of long-term commitments can transform into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.

Be honest: Are you chasing the image of a student of knowledge more than actually becoming one? You post a book cover, tag a scholar's quote, and share clips from your latest class. But do you really know what it means to seek knowledge? In this two-hour lecture, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan reminds us that seeking Islamic knowledge isn't a trend—it's a trust. A responsibility. A path that can either raise you or destroy you. Allah didn't just create us to worship Him, but to know Him. And true worship begins with knowledge. Not surface-level information, but deep, sincere understanding that's acted upon. If you've ever: - Shared something beneficial but haven't lived it - Wondered why scholars are slow to speak - Wanted to study but got caught up in the aesthetics - Felt distant from sincerity in your seeking... …this lecture brings you back to what matters. Grounded in the Qur'an, the legacy of the scholars, and the warnings of the Prophet ﷺ—this is a chance to pause, reflect, and realign your path. A must-watch for every serious student—and anyone who truly wants to be one.
