Podcasts about shifting

We visit Basel Dalloul at the Dalloul Artist Collective to discuss the genesis of the Dalloul Art Foundation and the mission of the new artist collective. A technologist and lawyer by training, Basel shares his family's journey into collecting art and the vision his father had for a Pan-Arab art collection in Beirut. They discuss how Arabism failed politically, but that culturally, the art from the region shows a great deal of sync and kinship, with artists empathizing with their Arab brethren. Central to the discussion is the role of art as an archive of history. Basel highlights the importance of Arab art as a reference site and how connecting artists from Morocco to Iraq reveals common themes that some may find inconvenient to tell. The conversation then shifts to the need to decolonize the art world, critiquing the tendency to celebrate Western art and seek validation from Western curators. Basel challenges the routine belief that Arab artists or art professionals are "not competent or good enough". He also addresses the broken global gallery system, which often dictates terms to artists and unfairly takes up to 50% of an artist's take. The mission of the Dalloul Artist Collective is to shift focus from the art to the artist, acting as an artist management agency to empower and educate the artist community. 0:00 Introduction2:12 The Vision for the Dalloul Art Foundation: Pan-Arab Art3:36 Relationship to Art Growing Up5:55 Shifting from Western to Arab Art Collecting8:45 Failure Is Not An Option10:47 Authenticating Art and The Lack of a Reference Site for Arab Art12:53 Organizing the Single Largest Private Collection of Modern Contemporary Arab Art15:05 The Kinship of Arab Culture17:57 Artists as Archivists of History19:46 Beirut: A De Facto Cultural Hub With No Taboos22:54 Critiquing the Celebration of Western Art Over Arab Art25:57 Dalloul Artist Collective: Focusing on The Artist27:18 The Broken Global Gallery System32:11 The State of Art Collecting in The Arab World35:56 Artists Basel Dalloul Adores38:02 The Need to Educate the Arab Youth on Arab Artists38:48 The Story Behind Ayman Baalbaki's Moulatham41:26 Empowering Artists with Transparency and Business Savvy Basel Dalloul Founded the Dalloul Art Foundation in 2017 to manage and promote his father's (Dr. Ramzi Dalloul) vast collection of modern and contemporary Arab art. At around 4000 pieces it is the largest collection of its kind in private hands. The collection includes but is not limited to paintings, photography, sculpture, video and mixed media art. Basel has had a passion for art since he was very young, inspired by both his mother and father, whom are also passionate about art in all its forms. Basel also founded NOOR Group in 2000 in response to the Egyptian government's announced goal of becoming the hub of the information technology (IT) industry in the Middle East. As Chairman and CEO, he has set the overall direction of NOOR, bringing the first region-wide, full-service IT development program to the area. He holds a Bachelor of Science in finance from American University and a Juris Doctor and MBA from Georgetown University, both in Washington, DC. Basel also studied electrical engineering and computer science at Rice University in Houston, TX, and undertook comparative studies of American and British common law and procedural law at Oxford University in England. He co-taught a course in entertainment law and the Internet at Georgetown University Law Center and is a frequent speaker and seminar leader at IT conferences worldwide. Connect with Bassel Dalloul

Beeple discusses what it was like to experience the explosive rise of NFTs from the inside, how the digital art market has matured since that initial boom, and whether collectors, curators, and institutions are now engaging with the medium in a more thoughtful and sustainable way. The conversation also explores Art Basel's new Zero 10 section, a long-term commitment to presenting digital art, Beeple's involvement in shaping its debut, the evolving role of galleries for digital artists, and a preview of the new work he will show in Miami.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed goalie rumours, Tuesday's debacle against the Stars, Connor Clattenburg's first NHL goal, more injury woes, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the goaltending rumours that are circling the Oilers these days, and tried to figure out which of these names would be the best fit for Edmonton. Whether it's Jordan Binnington, Tristan Jarry, or some other name we're not even discussing, there's little doubt that there are risks regardless of who the target may be. Yet, irrespective of what the boys think about the situation, there's little doubt that the noise is getting louder by the day.Shifting gears, the guys looked at Connor Clattenburg's recall so far and how he's making the most of his opportunity through the first two games. Even though he's not a player who will score goals in bunches, there's little doubt that he gives it 1000% effort on every shift he gets. We also talked about the run of injuries that is plaguing the Oilers right now, and how the Hockey Gords don't seem interesting in making our lives any easier.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season more than 1/3 complete, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's what happens when the team is playing as poorly as they have been.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

Join the host on Right On Radio for a wide-ranging Friday episode that begins with Thanksgiving reflections, the show's Word on Word segment (1 Chronicles 16:8 vs. Proverbs 31:28–29), and a musical nod before diving into hard-hitting news and commentary. The episode opens with breaking coverage of a reported anti-corruption probe tied to President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration: searches of senior offices, allegations centered on the Energia Atom energy sector, the role of ally Timur Mindich, and broader claims about widespread skimming of foreign aid. The host analyzes Sky News reporting and offers context and commentary about how the scandal could affect negotiations and ceasefire discussions. Shifting to U.S. domestic developments, the program covers the recent attack on two National Guard members, updates on the victims, and reporting that connects the suspected shooter to refugee resettlement. The host discusses alleged pre-attack online searches traced to foreign IPs, references to the Charlie Kirk shooting, and federal responses including troop deployments to Washington, D.C. President Trump's recent statements on immigration, tax policy and national security are reviewed and critiqued. The show also examines the role of intelligence agencies and transnational crime: a featured interview excerpt with Laura Logan and former CIA operations officer Gary Bernstein explores election interference, U.S. activity near Venezuela, and claims that large criminal networks there may rival state intelligence capabilities. The host lays out a view of the CIA and FBI as powerful actors within a global hierarchy. Listeners will hear concerns about surveillance and biometric data after a segment on school photography companies (LifeTouch), ownership by major asset managers, and how large photo databases could be used to train facial recognition systems. The episode links this to broader worries about tech, privacy and the so-called Genesis mission referenced by the host. The host also speaks personally about a paid course he's released—its goals, structure and reception—encouraging listeners on how to approach the material, and announces a Saturday night prayer meeting and brief weekend schedule changes. Throughout, he intersperses political analysis with spiritual themes and references to scripture. To close, the show lightens up with music recommendations (including an 80s toe-tapper by a Canadian band and a later Jimmy Cliff clip), invites listeners to community engagement, and promises more reporting and specials in upcoming episodes.

Over the last year, Montreal's industrial market has gone from uncertainty to cautious Former pro hockey player turned top investment broker, Joe Rullier (Executive Vice President, Colliers), shares how he went from the NHL grind to building the #1 investment team in Canada and navigating one of the toughest markets Montreal has seen in years. In this episode, Joe breaks down how New York's high-pressure investment world shaped his work ethic, why land deals have slowed, how he underwrites like a banker to make deals actually financeable, and where he sees real opportunity right now in Montreal's multifamily and land markets. From CMHC delays to older stock repositioning, Joe explains the mindset, structure, and creativity investors need if they want to win in today's environment instead of buying into "dream" pricing that never materializes.   Topics & Timestamps ⏱ 00:01:03 – Welcome back to the Espace Montreal Podcast & intro to Joe Rullier

If your marketing feels loud but ineffective, this episode reveals the four essential sales you must make long before a prospect ever gets on a call—because in a world where information is a commodity and attention is cheap, only strategic messaging cuts through the noise. Inside, the speaker breaks down how to reshape your audience's beliefs, sell them a powerful new identity, present a standout unique solution, and use story-driven social proof that rebuilds trust in a skeptical market. By mastering these four elements, you'll transform scattered content into strategic communication that attracts more qualified leads, increases booked sales calls, and positions you as the go-to authority in your niche.   "If you are not changing the way they think, if you're not helping to plant new beliefs or seeds of thought inside their minds, they're not going to take action."   Key Takeaways for listeners: Shifting beliefs is the foundation of effective marketing — if your audience's current beliefs block them from taking action, no amount of content will convert. People buy identities, not just solutions — selling the future version of who they want to become drives stronger motivation than selling features. A unique mechanism or methodology is essential for standing out — naming and framing your approach makes your solution feel new, different, and worth paying attention to. Story-driven social proof is more powerful than screenshots — walking listeners through the journey, not just results, builds trust and relatability. Clear messaging outperforms more content — the right words, delivered the right way, across any platform, create consistent demand and inbound leads. When these four sales stack together, conversions rise naturally — prospects start believing change is possible, see themselves in your vision, trust your method, and see proof that it works.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Thanksgiving football, Chalmers' door-locking routine, the Oilers' autograph session at WEM, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a Thanksgiving discussion about turkey and how many cuisines from around the world don't use turkey. Somehow, talking about turkey led the guys to discuss whether they'd be comfortable hunting. Given how popular hunting is among a segment of the population, it was interesting to hear the boys' thoughts on whether they could do it. Spoiler: The room was split. Changing gears, the conversation somehow turned to Chalmers' fear of judgment when he locks the door behind a departing guest too soon. He doesn't want the person to hear him lock the door behind them. While he was the only one on the podcast to have this fear, it was fascinating to hear his thoughts on the proper timeline for locking up. Shifting the conversation again, the boys discussed the Oilers' autograph session at WEM and how long they would be willing to wait in line for an autograph. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at anything other than the Edmonton Oilers. Needless to say, when the team is as bad as they've been lately, talking about literally any other topic just seems more enjoyable. As always, the Thursday episode was all over the map, which is precisely what you'd expect from the Real Life podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Prebiotic cola, plant-based (and AI-inspired?) pulled chicken and protein-packed marshmallows. The hosts crack open Pepsi's new prebiotic cola and discuss whether a stevia-sweetened "functional" soda can win over classic cola fans. They also dig into Just Meat's big win at Walmart and what it says about the future of meat analogs, and why protein marshmallows might actually work in your next s'more. Show notes: 0:25: Rotten Roaches. The BevNET Bowls. Cloying & Fibrous. Who's Eating This Stuff? S'More, Please. – Jacqui explains why there is a bright red "biohazard" bag on her desk and the hosts joke about modern marketing tactics. They pivot to a preview of the upcoming NOSH Live, BevNET Live and  Brewbound Live events, highlighting opportunities for founders to meet retailers, investors, and strategic partners. They sample PepsiCo's newly launched Pepsi Prebiotic – a lower-calorie, stevia-sweetened soda that comes in classic cola and cherry vanilla flavors – and opine on the minimalist white cans and whether Pepsi has clearly communicated the benefits. The hosts then discuss JUST Meat's newly launched plant-based pulled chicken, which is now available in four flavors at 3,000 Walmart stores, which sparks a debate about whether mainstream shoppers truly want meat analogs, and how clean-label concerns are shaping the category.

Ray introduces Primal Sweets' protein marshmallows, which contain 25 grams of protein per bag and no sugar, and Albero D'oro cocktail cherries, before Jacqui presents Flour + Water's artisanal pasta, and Mike praises Hiyo's new pineapple coconut "social tonic."

What if the feeling you're trying to avoid is actually pointing to what you need most? In this episode, Coach Cole and Coach Hayley guide Tory and Jean through compassionate exploration of the urges driving their drinking. Tory describes anticipation, ritual, and the itchy “deprivation sweater” she feels when she skips a drink. Jean shares how isolation and social anxiety feed her belief that she's “not interesting.” Both women dive into how to figure out why you drink - not to shame, but to uncover hidden needs, from creativity and space to self-worth and connection. In Tory's Session: Translating the “deprived/itchy” sensation into data, not danger. How anticipation builds the ritual—and how to disrupt it kindly. Micro-pause practice: five minutes to explore how to figure out why you drink. “No room to grow” → portable creativity kits and boundary conversations. Reframing anger as an unmet-need alert, not a failure. Shifting from measuring pours to measuring alignment and relief. Choosing compassion tools over control tactics. And more topics… In Jean's Session: Social anxiety's storylines: “I'm boring,” “I'll say it wrong,” “I'll stay home.” Worth vs. worthiness feelings: why the difference matters. Hand-on-heart anchors and compassionate self-talk before events. Understanding how to figure out why you drink to stop pre-event numbing. Low-stakes connection reps to unwind isolation loops. “I'm in the process of…” turnarounds that feel true (not toxic positivity). Progress over perfection: practicing courage in small doses. And more… Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach. For years, he felt lost and used alcohol as a way to cope, until he decided to go alcohol-free and focus on finding his purpose.

Gratitude can feel effortless when life and marriage are smooth—but what about when it's hard? In this episode, we explore how to practice honest gratitude even in seasons of struggle, disappointment, or unmet expectations. From grief and loss to conflict and emotional distance in marriage, we discuss ways couples can rebuild appreciation for each other, lean on God in difficult times, and use gratitude as a tool for hope, healing, and unity. Be encouraged to find thankfulness rooted in faith, not just feelings, even when your heart is hurting. Main Takeaways: Gratitude is challenging in seasons of struggle.   Honest gratitude is rooted in faith, not feelings.   Gratitude strengthens marriage and protects against division.   Spiritual rhythms help cultivate thankfulness. Quotes from this Episode: Choosing gratitude when you don't feel it isn't fake—it's faith in action. Sometimes, obedience comes before emotion.   When disappointment builds, we keep a mental ledger of failures and let resentment choke out gratitude.    Shifting your focus from what's wrong to what remains right isn't denial; it's a courageous act of faith, especially when you're hurting.   Gratitude flourishes when you intentionally move from deficit thinking to abundance thinking.   Don't compare your spouse to others—celebrate who they are and who they have become.   Feelings follow actions. Don't wait to feel grateful—do the grateful thing, and let your heart catch up.   Lament is honest, gratitude is hopeful. We need both, because lament without gratitude turns to bitterness, and gratitude without lament turns to denial.   Radical gratitude trusts in God's character, not in our circumstances. Couples Conversation Guide: "When life or our marriage feels hard, what makes it difficult for you to feel thankful? How can we support each other in those times?"   "How can we remind each other to choose gratitude rooted in faith, even when our emotions don't match our circumstances?"   "Are there ways we've lost sight of what we appreciate about each other? What's one thing we can start noticing and thanking each other for this week?"   "What daily or weekly habits—like prayer, Scripture, or reflection—could help us keep gratitude alive, even when things are tough?" Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram! Need to refocus and cultivate gratitude? Use these 11 Gratitude Prompts  We gathered all 685 answers, organized them into the top 10 themes, and added 1 practical step for each theme so husbands can better meet their wife's needs.

Navigating the complexities of family dynamics can sometimes feel like walking a tightrope—especially when relationships between parents and adult children become strained or even break down completely. Family estrangement is an increasingly common challenge that can leave everyone involved feeling isolated, misunderstood, and in deep pain. When communication falters and generational differences collide, how do we find a path toward empathy, healing, and growth? In this episode, listeners are invited into a heartfelt exploration of adult child-parent estrangement, its underlying causes, and the impact it has on both individuals and entire families. The conversation offers practical insights on healing old wounds, understanding the spiritual and psychological dynamics at play, and tools for fostering compassion—even when distance or conflict seems insurmountable. With stories, expert reflections, and actionable guidance, this discussion aims to support anyone facing the difficult terrain of family disconnection, offering hope and concrete steps toward greater understanding and unity.

When tension arises, reflect honestly on how your actions may contribute, and express accountability to foster trust and safety. Aim to respond with supportive, non-judgmental language, empowering your adult child to make their own decisions. Listen deeply to your child's experiences and feelings, holding space for their emotions without jumping into explanations or defense. Find the balance between support and over-giving, maintain your wellbeing, and be mindful of your energy. Ask permission before sharing concerns or advice, acknowledging you're entering your adult child's "lane." Recognize the pain and complexity of estrangement, and give yourself grace throughout the healing process. Reach out for therapy, coaching, or resources to receive guidance in navigating family estrangement and building new communication strategies.   Mentioned A Soulful Marriage (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Family Constellations (*Wikipedia link) Passionate Marriage (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Kabbalah (*Wikipedia link) ERP 473: How to Experience More Embodied Pleasure Sexually – An Interview with Susan Taylor 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Dr. Rachel Glik Websites: drrachelglik.com Facebook: facebook.com/p/Dr-Rachel-Glik-EdD-LPC-100027702446361 Instagram: instagram.com/drrachelglik LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-rachel-glik-edd-lpc-a7047ab Pinterest: pinterest.com/drrachelglik

Why do most business owners never achieve a successful exit, even after decades of effort? Many assume selling a company is simple—find a buyer, sign the papers, and walk away. The reality is harsher: 70 to 80 percent of businesses that go to market never sell. Poor planning, missing documentation, and overdependence on the owner make it nearly impossible to exit with both profit and peace of mind. In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with Bennett Lebowitz, co-founder of Pando Consulting Group, to uncover what it really takes to build a business that can be sold on your terms. Bennett covers everything from financial cleanup to operational systems and leadership transitions. He shares actionable frameworks, key metrics, and real-world stories of owners who created companies strong enough to thrive long after they stepped away.   Timestamps [00:00] Defining a Successful Exit [03:11] Avoiding Forced Liquidations and the 5 D's [05:43] Controlling the Controllables [06:51] Financial Health and Clean Books [09:27] Quality of Earnings and Operational Audits [12:06] Key Metrics Every Owner Should Track [17:31] Preparing for the Right Buyer [20:59] Getting the Owner Out of the Day-to-Day [28:27] Hiring Smart and Building Support Infrastructure [32:42] Shifting from Tactical to Strategic Leadership [36:52] Ideal Client Profile and Readiness [40:54] The Exit Process and Discovery [42:06] Why 70–80% of Businesses Never Sell [43:35] Life, Family, and Purpose  Key Quotes “Seventy-five percent of owners regret selling their business within 12 months, and it has nothing to do with money. It's because they weren't prepared for life after the sale.” “You can't sell a business if you're the one driving all the revenue. No one wants to buy a job.” “Profit is a direct correlation to value. Taxes are just a byproduct.” “If you're not growing, you're dying. Every system and hire is a step toward freedom.” “Everything we do should be purpose-driven. The money can't come with us, but the impact can.” Key Takeaways Prepare early. A successful exit takes years, not months. Begin by cleaning your finances and documenting your systems.Build independence. A business that relies on the owner isn't sellable. Train leaders and automate wherever possible. Track what matters. Focus on metrics like revenue per employee, recurring revenue, and client acquisition cost. Control what you can. You can't change the market, but you can strengthen your processes, people, and profit.  Links Mentioned Pando Consulting Group – Readiness Assessment: https://pandoconsultinggroup.com LinkedIn – Bennett Lebowitz: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bennett-lebowitz Connect with The Better Than RichWebsite - https://www.betterthanrich.com/Facebook - https://m.facebook.com/betterthanrich/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/betterthan_rich/Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/betterthan_richTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanrichYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xXEb7rKBvkCOdtWd4tj2ALinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/betterthanrich

The word asylum should mean safety, a promise that the United States will protect those fleeing violence, persecution, or death. For many, from Iran to El Salvador to Venezuela, it has become a maze of shifting rules, bureaucracy, broken commitments, and political stunts. In this episode, Justin sits down with immigration attorney Monika Sud-Devaraj, who's spent decades on both sides of the system, to break down the asylum process. They also expose how policy changes and funding cuts are complicating lives and destroying faith in the U.S.'s integrity. Key Moments: The Reality of Asylum: What it means under U.S. law and why so few qualify, even when their fear is real. Due Process Denied: How sudden rule changes and revoked statuses leave people vulnerable to deportation and possible persecution, torture, or death. The CBP One Fallout: How the shutdown of a critical entry pathway left thousands stranded in legal limbo. Fear and Bureaucracy: The human toll of endless paperwork, language barriers, and confusion for people simply trying to survive. Funding Cuts and Consequences: Why eliminating legal aid programs has made the immigration courts even slower and more dangerous. A System in Crisis: How political agendas have turned real human suffering into propaganda and who pays the price. If you've ever wondered what happens to the people America promised to protect or how politics have twisted the meaning of justice—this conversation will challenge your assumptions. It's a must-listen for anyone who believes in fairness, faith, or the idea that truth should guide policy, not propaganda. Listen now to understand what's really happening behind the headlines and how we can demand better from a system built on freedom and compassion.

A: Shift your energy from scarcity ("I only had one client") to gratitude ("I had a wonderful client yesterday and they rebooked"). Your energy around money and clients directly affects what you attract. Take aligned action, track what works, and embody the version of yourself who already has the practice you want. Q: What should I do during quiet periods in my therapy practice? A: Use quiet periods for strategic masculine energy—analyse what's working, check your data, refine your marketing, and ask yourself what the version of you with a full practice would do differently. Take one small action to bring clarity rather than staying stuck in overwhelm. Q: Why am I not getting results despite taking courses and reading books? A: This is called "shelf help"—buying resources without implementation. Results come from taking aligned action and actually implementing what you learn. Focus on mastering one thing before adding more to your plate. Action brings clarity and compounds over time. Q: How do I stop undercharging as a therapist? A: Work on embodiment—become the version of yourself who charges appropriately by taking actions that person would take. Allow yourself to receive payment, enforce cancellation policies, and increase fees when appropriate. Shift from victim mentality to taking accountability for your practice results. Q: What's the difference between embodiment and positive thinking? A: Embodiment requires both mindset shifts AND aligned action. You don't have to believe you're abundant, but you do need to take actions the abundant version of you would take. Nothing changes without embodiment plus action—both are essential.   private practice financial abundance, therapist money mindset, counsellor business success, psychologist private practice income, receiving money energy, therapy practice growth, mental health private practice, women therapists business, private practice marketing, undercharging therapists, abundance mindset counsellors, therapy business coaching, practice momentum, client attraction strategies, embodiment for therapists, action over overwhelm, private practice profitability, Australian therapy business, social worker private practice, play therapist business growth

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sat down with Gemma James, the host of Muse Yourself Podcast for a deep and honest conversation about my journey, my reinventions, and the many chapters that led me to where I am today. Gemma interviews me about how my life shifted from becoming a teen mom at 16, to raising two children on my own, to navigating toxic workplaces, financial struggle, and the overwhelming pressure of simply trying to survive!  I share how fitness became my lifeline during some of my darkest moments, helping me manage depression and slowly rebuild my confidence. We talk about how a random idea turned into a thriving pole dancing business, how that evolved into a women's strength studio, and how following tiny nudges without knowing the full plan turned into a career of helping women over 40 feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies! This episode dives into midlife health, reinvention, the power of movement, and the surprising path that brought me from government aid to coaching women worldwide. If you're craving a fresh start or love hearing raw, real stories of growth and grit, this conversation with Gemma is one you'll want to hear.

November is such a wonderful month, not just because of the cozy weather or fall vibes (although those are great), but because it's a season where we naturally slow down and reflect on what we're grateful for. But when it comes to money, I've noticed something troubling: so many of us focus exclusively on what we don't have: the bigger salary, the dream home, the overflowing savings account…and we completely overlook the financial blessings that are already right in front of us. This scarcity mindset keeps us stuck in a cycle of never feeling like we have enough, even when we're making progress. We dismiss our income because it's not six figures yet. We shame ourselves for having debt instead of acknowledging that credit gave us access when we needed it. We ignore our savings because the balance feels too small to celebrate. In today's episode, we're shifting that perspective completely. I want to help you recognize five financial blessings you may be overlooking, so you can start seeing your current financial situation in a new, empowering light. Because here's the thing research proves time and again: when you start practicing gratitude for what you already have, you open the door for more opportunities, more growth, and yes... more money. Abundance starts with appreciation.   Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why gratitude mindset attracts more financial abundance and opportunities How to reframe your current income as a blessing worth celebrating The hidden blessing of having access to credit and debt repayment ability Why any amount of savings deserves recognition and appreciation Celebrating financial possibilities you haven't tapped into yet Shifting from scarcity to abundance thinking with money   Financial gratitude isn't just about feeling good, it's a proven wealth-building practice. When you acknowledge your current blessings, you shift from scarcity to abundance thinking, which opens you up to recognize and seize more opportunities for financial growth.   Here's a Glance at This Episode: [01:53] Income Appreciation: Recognizing any income stream as a financial blessing worth acknowledging. [04:22] Currently paying down debt? There was a point in time where you needed access to that credit, thankfully you had it. [07:15] Celebrating Savings Progress: Honoring your commitment to future you, regardless of balance size [10:33] My favorite overlooked financial blessing is about gratitude for the possibilities you haven't even tapped into yet.   Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

Gratitude doesn’t come easily for everyone—especially if life has conditioned you to expect the other shoe to drop. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 calls us to give thanks in all circumstances, not because everything feels good, but because God is faithfully at work in every moment. When negativity feels more natural than gratitude, shifting your perspective becomes a slow, intentional surrender. But as God reshapes the heart, thankfulness becomes less of a struggle and more of a steady rhythm. Highlights Early experiences can shape a pessimistic mindset, but God can retrain our hearts toward gratitude. Gratitude leads to contentment—and contentment frees us from constantly chasing “more.” A simple gratitude journal can refocus your mind on God’s ongoing work, even in small blessings. Positive community helps redirect your perspective toward God’s faithfulness. Jesus modeled thankfulness—even in pain—and invites us to adopt the same posture. Choosing gratitude is a daily decision that transforms the way we interpret trials and blessings. Shifting your viewpoint ultimately reshapes your attitude and nourishes a thankful spirit.

Full Transcript Below: When Thankfulness Doesn’t Come NaturallyBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 As a kid, I didn't have it easy. I came from a controlling household, plus I faced several health challenges. Life was not easy, even in my childhood. Even though I enjoyed the simplicity of playing with toys, playing outside, and just enjoying life, I endured other issues that made my childhood less than simplistic. My mother was also a negative person. She often saw the glass as half-empty, rather than half-full. This taught me to be a pessimistic person, focusing on the negative side of things rather than the positive side. If something good came my way, I often wondered when things would soon turn bad. For years after becoming a Christian, I still felt like this way. Because the Christian life has been full of ups and downs, and I've endured my share of trials, it's easy to look on the negative side of things. This viewpoint has caused me to become less grateful and more entitled. As I've matured in my faith, God has taught me that it's essential to be thankful for everything I have. When I'm grateful, I'm content. When I’m content, I'm no longer searching for the perfect life, the simple pleasures, or the luxuries that I feel I deserve. Switching my viewpoint didn't come easily. Because I had been pessimistic and that attitude was deeply ingrained in my mind, it was hard to shake. But I've learned over the years how to make thankfulness a daily activity, even though it doesn't come naturally to me. Here are some ways to adopt a spirit of thankfulness even when it doesn't come naturally: Start a Gratitude Journal One of the easiest ways for me to switch my viewpoint is to start a gratitude journal. Each day, I'm able to write down even just a few things for which I'm thankful. These can be small blessings, such as having clean clothes or a job. It can also be the bigger things that God does, like the miraculous ways in which He works, or the way He heals my body when it's sick. The most important thing I need to remember is that God is constantly at work in my life. It's a matter of whether I choose to see it or not. Keeping a gratitude journal shifts my focus every day to what I should be thankful for and content in my life. Because I'm someone who doesn't enjoy journaling, this is an easy way for me to adopt the habit of journaling, without having to write complete sentences. Use bullet points and write the words regarding the blessing, so you know what it references. At the end of the month, go back and think of all the ways God has blessed you that month. During your prayer time, thank God for all the ways He is working and for all the ways you see His blessings. Surround Yourself with Positive People Because I learned my pessimistic attitude from my mother, it was an attitude easy to adopt, as she was always around. However, when I became a Christian and attended churches in my area, I surrounded myself with positive people. Instead of focusing on the negative trials in their lives, they chose to be grateful to God for all the ways he was working. As I participated in small groups and heard about all the ways God was working in their lives, it became easier for me to adopt that same attitude. Analyze the company you keep. Do you surround yourself with naturally pessimistic people? Be in regular community with those who seek to see the world positively. Adopt the same attitude of seeing how God is working, rather than focusing on all the things He hasn't done. Adopt Jesus’ Attitude Jesus’ attitude was one of thankfulness. Even in his last moments before he was going to be crucified, he chose to break bread with his disciples. Although I'm sure they discussed many things throughout that meal, the Gospels record that Jesus took the bread and cup and gave thanks to God. If Jesus can choose to adopt an attitude of thankfulness even moments before he knew he was going to be crucified and brutally beaten, then so can we. We can adopt the same attitude of gratitude by looking at our trials and seeking to choose joy rather than sorrow. Although it is normal to feel sadness or despair in times of deep spiritual trial, we mustn't stay there. Instead, grieve the loss, but then move on to a spirit of thankfulness. See all the ways God may be sparing you from the situation if the answer to your prayer was no. If you are in a trial, see all the ways God is refining your character through it. By changing your viewpoint, you change your attitude. Change your perspective to one of gratitude, knowing that God is working on your behalf. Choose to think of it this way rather than dwelling upon the negative parts of life. By choosing to focus on the positive aspects of life rather than the negative ones, you can cultivate gratitude even when it doesn't come naturally. Adopt behaviors and surround yourself with people who will help you give thanks in all circumstances. Father, let us be people who give thanks in all we do. Help us understand how you always work in all situations. Let us adopt an attitude of thankfulness, even when our will is bent toward negativity and discontentment. Amen.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠Tarun Sharma (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tksharmalaw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), Amanda Christovich of FOS (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@achristovichh⁠⁠⁠) AND Sam Ehrlich (⁠⁠⁠@samcehrlich⁠⁠⁠) to discuss the current state of college sports, focusing on eligibility challenges, coaching contracts, and the implications of private equity in the industry. Dan and Tarun open the episode with a deeper look at the Big Ten private-equity saga, breaking down why Michigan and USC halted the proposed UC Ventures deal, how grant-of-rights extensions became the sticking point, and what shifting financial incentives mean for the conference's future — and for non-revenue sports.Shifting gears, Amanda brings the latest news on the College Sports Commission (CSC)...including its new enforcement hires, incoming investigations, and the finalized participation agreement that requires every power-conference school to sign on before any rules can be enforced. They dive into the details of how the agreements aim to prevent schools from dodging CSC authority by having “associates” (collectives, players, or even attorneys general) sue on their behalf, and why even one holdout school could stall the entire system.From there, the trio turns to player eligibility, where Sam Ehrlich walks through more than 40 active eligibility lawsuits and explains why two cases — Patterson and Pavia — now sit at the center of the national fight over the five-year clock. Sam unpacks how courts have reacted, why multiple judges are uncomfortable with the era of the “eight-year college athlete,” and whether Congress has any realistic path to establishing uniform national rules.Next, Amanda breaks down the bizarre dispute between Brian Kelly and LSU, detailing why LSU's claim that Kelly was never formally fired is contradicted by public statements, internal emails, and even alleged settlement offers. Dan and Sam compare it to Lane Kiffin's high-profile flirtations with other schools and discuss how contract language around loyalty, termination, and negotiation plays out in real time.The group then explores the latest delay in the NCAA's proposed rule allowing athletes to bet on professional sports, with Amanda outlining how the Terry Rozier NBA scandal triggered a sudden shift in opinion among Division I administrators just weeks after they approved the proposal.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

In this episode, I break down the core habits that set successful CEOs apart and how those habits directly influence organizational growth. We explore the risks of overcommitting and getting too deep into day-to-day operations, a common trap that can cloud strategic focus. I make the case for a more disciplined approach to choosing opportunities and explain why shifting from monthly to weekly performance metrics can dramatically improve agility. We also dive into the value of developing strong leaders at every level and the role of clear, consistent communication in preventing costly misunderstandings. Ultimately, this episode is designed to help leaders sharpen their habits, elevate their impact, and accelerate growth. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:07 Good CEO Habits 2:56 Delegation and Ownership 5:17 The Power of Selectivity 7:27 Agility in Metrics 9:18 Building Leadership Depth 10:44 Communication Clarity 12:06 Reflecting on Improvement The Hidden Traps CEOs Fall Into: Good CEO Habits Start Here In this episode of Grow Think Tank, we're having an honest conversation about the everyday habits that can make or break a CEO's effectiveness. I'm Gene Hammett, and I'll walk you through some of the subtle traps leaders fall into, starting with the urge to say yes to everything. As CEOs, we're wired to see possibilities everywhere. I've been there myself, feeling like every new idea or opportunity could be "the one" that drives big growth. But a packed calendar isn't a sign of progress. In fact, it often pulls us away from the handful of initiatives that truly move the business forward. We also dig into one of the biggest bad habits: trying to stay involved in every operational detail. Research shows that CEOs spend an incredible amount of time in meetings, up to 72%, according to Harvard. That's a lot of hours that could be spent on creativity, strategy, and vision. I talk about how letting go, delegating more intentionally, and staying out of the weeds is actually one of the Good CEO Habits that fuels growth. Choosing the Right Opportunities: Not All "Yeses" Are Created Equal Next, we talk about the cultural pressure inside organizations to chase every possibility. Saying yes feels productive, but spreading yourself too thin rarely leads to meaningful impact. I share why developing a disciplined approach to opportunity selection is a hallmark of Good CEO Habits. Leaders who grow consistently don't chase more; they chase better. Warren Buffett said it best: the difference between successful people and really successful people is that the latter say no to almost everything. From there, we explore how shifting from monthly performance metrics to weekly check-ins can transform agility. Monthly metrics tell you what went wrong last month. Weekly metrics help you fix what's happening right now. That faster feedback loop helps teams stay aligned, spot issues early, and maintain momentum. Build Leaders, Build Clarity, Build Growth Finally, we look inward, specifically at how CEOs develop the strength of their team and the clarity of their communication. A powerful CEO doesn't try to be an expert in everything. Instead, they build depth in their leadership team, ensuring every department has someone capable, confident, and empowered. Closing those leadership gaps is essential for scaling it's another core Good CEO Habit that separates high-growth organizations from the rest. We also talk about communication, the kind of communication that goes beyond "good enough." Assumptions create confusion, rework, and frustration. Clear, intentional communication creates alignment and trust. I share how being explicit rather than vague can eliminate misunderstandings before they start. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to reflect on your own habits. Which ones are helping you grow, and which ones might be holding you back? When we ask better questions about how we lead, we uncover opportunities to evolve both as individuals and as organizations. That's what we aim for here on Grow Think Tank: helping leaders become more effective, more intentional, and more equipped to scale with confidence. Key Takeaways Fewer commitments lead to better focus. Saying yes to everything creates noise. The most effective CEOs choose opportunities selectively and focus on initiatives that truly drive growth. Staying out of the weeds is a leadership strength. CEOs who try to oversee every detail lose valuable time for strategy, creativity, and vision. Delegation is not just helpful it's essential. Weekly metrics create agility. Shifting from monthly to weekly performance reviews helps teams catch issues earlier, adapt faster, and maintain momentum. Depth in leadership beats well-roundedness. CEOs don't need to be experts in every area they need strong leaders around them. Building leadership capacity at every level accelerates scale. Clarity in communication prevents costly mistakes. "Good enough" communication isn't good enough. Explicit, intentional clarity avoids misunderstandings and keeps teams aligned. Good CEO Habits require intentional reflection. Sustainable growth comes from regularly reassessing your habits, asking better leadership questions, and making small adjustments with big impact. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

In this week's episode, Vance Bedford and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's defensive performance in their 24-22 win over Northwestern, highlighting the team's resilience despite losing the turnover battle 5-0. Bedford praised Wink Martindale's defensive strategy, particularly the pressure applied, but also noted problems with 50/50 balls and RPOs. Shifting to the defensive line, Bedford criticized deficiencies in maintaining gap responsibility during stunts. He stressed the need for stronger execution in the secondary, especially in man-to-man coverage. Finally, Bedford emphasized that the team must first focus on Maryland before turning their attention to Ohio State.
