Stripe is laying off 14% of its staff. Lyft has cut 13% of its workforce, and Opendoor has slashed its team by 18% after posting a $1 billion dollar loss. Bad news for those companies, but they aren't alone. Many tech companies have been announcing layoffs and hiring freezes while moving to cut costs. Amazon, Google's parent company Alphabet and Facebook's owner Meta have all taken steps to rein in expenses. Companies including Netflix, Spotify, Coinbase and Shopify have also announced layoffs.In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied dive into this new economic reality and offer some insights about where it came from, as well as where it may be leading.They discuss Dave Ramsey's inexplicable shift in rhetoric from "home prices are not going down" to, "house prices are never going down" despite the fact that they are, in fact, going down as we speak.Chris and Saied look at Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman's tremendously accurate (if slightly disturbing) analogy comparing inflation to alcoholism.They also discuss why, with hiring on track for its second-strongest year since 1940, the economy looks healthy - however, appearances can be deceiving, and that can lead to trouble.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:Why tech companies are posting losses and shedding staff at an increasingly alarming rate.Why a letter to Fed Chair Jerome Powell from a coalition of Democratic lawmakers raising concerns warning of impending job losses as a result of the Fed's tighter monetary policy is going to accomplish nothing.The effects of mortgage applications falling 42% compared to the same time last year and what that means for lenders such as Wells Fargo.The reasons why so many very smart people were in denial for so long about the Fed's attempts to fight inflation (and why some still are.)And so much more...Resources:"Democrats slam 'dangerous' Fed rate hikes, warning of widespread job losses" (article from Fox News)"All the economic experts are at a loss on the eve of the midterms: ‘The data is all over the map'" (article from Forbes)"Stocks Sink as Hawkish Bets Revive Recession Fears: Markets Wrap" (article from Yahoo!

Finally, some good news? Maybe. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on Thursday that the U.S. economy posted its first period of positive growth for 2022 in the third quarter, which may ease recession fears - at least temporarily. GDP from July through September increased at a 2.6% annualized pace for the period. That was above the Dow Jones forecast for 2.3%. In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied explain why this so-called good news is really anything but, and what that means for the economy and the Fed's attempts to fight inflation. They discuss why home prices are higher than they were a year ago, but gains are shrinking at the fastest pace on record, according to a report from S&P Case-Shiller. Chris and Saied look at a report from Barron's stating that the yield on the 3-month Treasury has surpassed that of the 10-Year Treasury. An inversion like that is considered very rare, but it suggests that a recession is on the way or possibly even here already. They also discuss comments from President Biden concerning actions being taken to eliminate junk fees - hidden fees found in many services from internet access to hotels. He claims that it will save Americans billions. Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating conversation. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why people are getting confused by the GDP numbers and how they indicate the state of the economy. Why mortgage rates have topped 7% for the first time since 2002, and why we'll likely see 8% before the year is out. What an 'inverted yield curve' is, and why some believe it's an indicator of an incoming recession. Why President Biden's initiative to eliminate 'junk fees' sounds good, but is also a little too ambiguous to take seriously. And so much more...

There are many times in life where we may feel like a victim. In some cases, this is a valid feeling - someone has wronged you in some way. However, there is another scenario, in which you become a victim by making someone else into a villain - whether they are or not. The simple truth is, it's a symbiotic relationship. You cannot have one without the other. In today's episode of The Lead With Trust Show, Sue offers some insights into this strange phenomenon, and how you can identify and avoid it in your own interactions. During the episode, Sue discusses why some people, due to programming in childhood, feel the need to be a victim, and force others unwillingly into the villain role. She offers some advice on retraining your brain to circumvent this childhood programming and create healthier relationships throughout your work and life. Sue also talks about the inherent imbalances built into every construction project - the owner and the owners' representatives have more power than the construction team - and how victim/villain relationships can be born from it. Join Sue for this fascinating discussion around the victim/villain relationship and what you can do to prevent it taking hold in your project. If you have any questions or suggestions for Sue, feel free to reach out via email. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why programming and events in childhood can lead some people to go looking for a villain so they can play the victim. How both the victim and villain roles reside inside us all, and how we often use them to avoid having to face things we fear. Thoughts on how to avoid slipping into a victim mindset.

Many projects seem to fall victim to the same issues: Team members arguing about the budget or schedule. Owners feeling as if the contractors are trying to take advantage of them. Contractors and subs feeling like they're not being treated fairly. Designers feeling that their designs are not being honored, etc. The issues pile up over time, until you're left with a failed project and no clear idea as to where it all went wrong. In today's episode of The Lead With Trust Show, Sue offers some insights into how these issues can be addressed and how flexibility can be built into the process to allow for unknowns and inevitable changes. During the episode, Sue discusses the concept of a target budget, an idea born out of the https://leanconstruction.org/ (Lean Construction Institute.)

According to a report from CNN Business, the nation's total public debt outstanding closed at $31.1 trillion on Monday, according to Treasury Department data published Tuesday. This particular milestone comes at a time of historically high inflation, rising interest rates and growing economic uncertainty. Incredibly, outstanding debt has climbed nearly $8 trillion since the beginning of 2020, and it's increased by $1 trillion since February of 2022. In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take a deeper look into this news and the reasons behind it (looking at you, Inflation Reduction Act). They discuss the reasons why you shouldn't buy real estate in some major markets unless you see a 10% drop in value from where you were. Chris and Saied look at the issue of real estate numbers, such as home values, mortgage application volume, etc. and why the amount of interpretation involved means that the trends become more important than the specific numbers. They also discuss an article stating that a recent report from KPMG shows that over 50% of American CEOs are considering workforce reductions over the next six months, possibly as a response to the increase of remote workers during the pandemic. Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating conversation. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why the Inflation Reduction Act is one of the key factors that caused national debt to jump by over a trillion dollars in the last eight months.

According to a recent article from Bloomberg, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US economy may be entering a 'new normal' following disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during a Fed Listens event in Washington last week. He outlined the "unusual set of disruptions'' the Fed is dealing with, and reiterated a commitment to help the economy through a "uniquely challenging period." The real question is, as warm and fuzzy as these 'Fed Listens' seem to be, do they have any effect on actual monetary policy? Is it a genuine attempt to listen to business and community leaders, or is simply an academic in good PR? As you might expect, Chris and Saied have some thoughts... In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take a deep-dive into real estate, particularly commercial real estate, covering subjects such as the recently raised Federal Funds Rate and some of the more obscure inner workings of multi-family and commercial real estate. They explore an article from TheRealDeal.com stating that Keller Williams is looking to train their agents as wealth advisors going forward, and the implications of that kind of move on the real estate industry. Chris and Saied look at mortgage rates and why they're very unlikely to come down in the near term, thanks to the current yield curve inversion that has been the precursor to nearly every recessionary economy in history. They also discuss multi-family and commercial real estate issues, such as the definition of a 'loan amount,' why the barrier to entry in commercial real estate is so high, and how long it usually takes to close a multi-family deal. If you have burning questions about commercial real estate, this is the episode you've been waiting for! Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating conversation. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why the Federal Reserve recently increased the Federal Funds Rate and how it will impact mortgage interest rates. The case for ensuring real estate agents have a solid economic understanding of the products they're selling, and the possible perils of going down that road. The reasons why mortgage rates are not likely to come down in the near term, due to upward pressure on the long end of the yield curve. Why real estate investing is the common source of wealth in the country. And so much more...

The inflation numbers have been released, and the news is not good for anyone. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased to 8.3%. A 10.6% decline in gasoline prices was offset by increases in rent, food and health care. Food prices rose by .8%, with the cost of food consumed at home increasing by .7%. The increase in CPI feeds into the argument Chris and Saied have been making for some time, and that so many social media personalities refuse to accept. In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied discuss these new CPI numbers, the effect they're having on the economy, and the effect they will have on the Fed's upcoming rate hike decisions. They discuss the market's reaction to the news, including the increasing possibility that the Fed could bypass the .75% increase and go straight to a 1% increase. They also look at a recent report from Moody's Analytics, which says there are now 210 housing markets across the nation that are "significantly overvalued" — or overvalued by more than 25%. In those markets, Moody's predicts home prices to fall 5% to 10%. If a recession hits? Home prices in those regions could take 15% to 20% hits. Chris and Saied also discuss the phenomenon that is Kaby Lame, the TikTok star with 150 million followers, who is reportedly on track to make $150 million a year.

Ever run into an issue where you tell a really awesome story but, your delivery falls flat? This episode will make you become a better storyteller to prevent failing your best stories. Today's guest is Nick Kindler, Founder of Kindler and Company, and he joins the host Casey Cheshire to share his 5 steps to being remembered for your storytelling skills for years to come.   Busted Myths: People say to “just wing it” in any situation.   Takeaways: One of the worst decisions you can make is to “wing it”. You will have more success if you plan and think about what you are going to do and say. Do not miss your mark and opportunity to impress people. Plan out strategies and ways to entice them in.  The best way to communicate with your audience is to have an impact. You can do this by simplifying your story with a solid structure. When communicating with someone, you want to make sure that you tell them twice and retell what you just were talking about to make them remember the impactfulness of your story. The spine of a good story is having an environment, characters, conflict, raised conflict, and outcome. These are essential to a story that will draw in your audience. Telling a well-planned story is the secret way to connect and engage with your audience in a way they've never been engaged with before.  Using emotional language with your story will help create a better understanding of your thoughts and ideas. By using emotional language in your story, you will connect more with your audience on a more personal level.   Quote of the Show: “Why not help people understand what you stand for? What you're all about, what the work that you're doing, or the change that you're making in the world. If people leave going, 'well, that was interesting. Don't really fully understand it.' Then you've missed the mark. It's a missed opportunity.” (06:29)   Book Recommendations: “Death By Meeting” by Patrick Lencioni   Links: Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/nick_kindler LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickkindler/?originalSubdomain=ca Website: https://www.kindlerandcompany.com/ Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Impact-Simplify-Transform-Perform-Presentations-ebook/dp/B096T3NQ8X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=89QPVKG0G2AM&keywords=impact+by+nick+kindle&qid=1661963412&sprefix=Impact+Nick+Kin%2Caps%2C225&sr=8-1   Ways to Tune In: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show/id1338838763 Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/37228621-2f9c-4905-a223-1844effb49dd Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1vVLpNI1LssMTiL6Kdsamn Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show Google Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/m/Im7mytmu2wa2mekhoeixlja5hpe?t=The_Hard_Corps_Marketing_Show YouTube: https://youtu.be/sfqTL2Z75do   The Hard Corps Marketing Show is sponsored and produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

If you've been watching the news, you're no doubt aware of President Biden's "forgiveness plan." This involves erasing $10,000 US in federal student loan debt for those with incomes below $125,000 a year, or households that earn less than $250,000. It also cancels an additional $10,000 for those who received federal Pell Grants to attend college. To say this move has been divisive is something of an understatement, and of course, in today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied share their thoughts on this new program. (Spoiler: They're not fans.) They discuss why Chris thinks the new program is both unconstitutional, and just another stimulus package - essentially the government is printing more money, which is a problem when the Fed is battling inflation already. Chris outlines the legality (or lack thereof) of the program, and why he believes the income cap is the wrong way to proceed. They also talk about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming press conference, where it's believed he will take a much more firm or 'hawkish' approach and possibly invoke the 'Volcker Rule' - a federal regulation that prohibits banks from conducting certain investment activities with their own accounts and limits their dealings with hedge funds and private equity funds, also called covered funds.

In the previous episode of The Higher Standard, Chris shared his less-than-charitable thoughts on the recently-passed Inflation Reduction Act, created by President Biden and the Democrats. The Act makes a 'down payment' on deficit reduction in order to fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. Chris argued that the whole initiative seems to be based on a flawed understanding of the actual causes of inflation. In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris offers more insights on what he calls the "Inflation Dysfunction Act," citing the theories and opinions of past economists to make his point that this is a flawed strategy. Chris offers thoughts on the Federal Reserve's choice of either a 50 or 75 basis point hike at the September meeting, and why it's difficult to make a real prediction at the moment. They share opinions of several economists that seem to reveal some seasonality that isn't being taken into account by the Fed, which could affect its decision. They also dive into a Time Magazine headline indicating that gasoline demand in the US this summer has dropped below pandemic levels, which shows that Americans are driving less than they did in 2020, at the height of the COVID travel restrictions.

The topic for today's show involves the benefits students can gain by being part of the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program.   As the summer winds down and we approach the end of this year's internship, Steve, Aaron and Josh take some time to reflect on why this year's executive team may be the strongest yet, and highlight some of the benefits of the program.   Beyond the growth potential that the program provides to participants - offering opportunities to build new skills and helping to make themselves more marketable - it also answers a question many have asked: "Is there anything left to learn?" What they quickly realize however, is that learning never really ends. As you gain experience in business and get better at your job, your learning opportunities actually increase.   Networking is another powerful benefit of the program. Working with like-minded people on an executive team provides powerful opportunities for connection and learning, whether it be from your own class, the executives above you or the people that come after you. Once you reach the executive level, you're able to create that connection with the top 10% of the entire country.   Steve, Aaron and Josh also take time to discuss the deep level of interaction and hands-on learning present in the program. Many internships are based on "shadowing," offering small glimpses of what that office actually looks like. However, what's missing is real world experience, a hands-on approach that provides more opportunity for learning.   Enjoy!      What You'll Learn in this Show: Why this year's executive team may be the strongest they've ever had going into 2022. The answer to the perennial question: "Is there anything more for me to learn?" How the networking opportunities offered by the program allow you to build connections with the top 10% in the country. Why internships that only allow participants to "shadow" office environments are missing out on a powerful learning opportunity.

You'll learn why time in the office - even just 2-3 days a week - is a powerful, if intangible, resource for success. You'll also learn the reasons why high-income learners are generally less likely to feel lonely than low-income earners. Join Chris as he explores the world of friendships in business and how they can help us reach greater levels of success. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why in the business world, relationships are the truest form of currency. Why regular, physical contact with people, such as in an office environment, is an intangible and vital tool for maintaining healthy relationships.  The reasons why, generally speaking, wealthy people are less likely to be lonely than non-wealthy people.  The understanding that relationships evolve and shift naturally over time, and that sometimes they run their course and must be severed.

It's been estimated that just over half the world's population access social media in some form. That's nearly four and a half billion people. Despite that incredible amount of usage, only a small fraction of those users fully appreciate the impact social media has on business, education, entertainment, and even our everyday lives. We view it as a "value add" or, most often, an annoyance. The fact is, social media is the primary source of information for a great many people around the world, and that gives it tremendous impact. In today's episode, Chris shares some of his insights on the successes (and more importantly the mistakes) he's made utilizing social media in his business. You'll learn the mistake he made early on around social media, the lessons and insights he gained from the error, and what he did to resolve the issue. (And it didn't involve deleting his account and starting over.) You'll discover why knowing the basic structure of various social media platforms is not enough if you want to leverage it for your business in an effective way. You'll learn the importance of seeing failures as learning opportunities, and why starting over on social media is usually not the right answer when something goes wrong. Join Chris as he offers his insights and real world experience in the implementation and use of social media for your business. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why social media is used by nearly everyone, but not appreciated by most for its impact on the world. Why using social media in a powerful, effective way for your business requires effort, and often outside expertise. The importance of approaching things such as social media with a lack of ego and a willingness to see failures as learning opportunities. And so much more...

What are your goals for your business, and do you have a plan for getting there? A surprisingly large number of entrepreneurs create lofty goals for their businesses, but fail to create a solid plan to achieve them.

But how do you go about creating a plan that will let you scale your business and turn those goals into realities?  In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is flying solo, offering up some insights on the importance of planning to scale and understanding that the entrepreneurial process is about more than simply setting targets and then doing nothing to reach them.

If asked, there's one ability most of us would like to have - the ability to see into the future and prepare for what's to come.

In today's episode of the Leader Across America podcast, Steve sits down with Aaron Acorn and Josh Drushel, both Vice Presidents of the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program for the final episode of their special four-part series. The topic for today's show involves the benefits students can gain by being part of the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program. As the summer winds down and we approach the end of this year's internship, Steve, Aaron and Josh take some time to reflect on why this year's executive team may be the strongest yet, and highlight some of the benefits of the program. Beyond the growth potential that the program provides to participants - offering opportunities to build new skills and helping to make themselves more marketable - it also answers a question many have asked: "Is there anything left to learn?" What they quickly realize however, is that learning never really ends. As you gain experience in business and get better at your job, your learning opportunities actually increase. Networking is another powerful benefit of the program. Working with like-minded people on an executive team provides powerful opportunities for connection and learning, whether it be from your own class, the executives above you or the people that come after you. Once you reach the executive level, you're able to create that connection with the top 10% of the entire country. Steve, Aaron and Josh also take time to discuss the deep level of interaction and hands-on learning present in the program. Many internships are based on "shadowing," offering small glimpses of what that office actually looks like. However, what's missing is real world experience, a hands-on approach that provides more opportunity for learning. Enjoy!   What You'll Learn in this Show: Why this year's executive team may be the strongest they've ever had going into 2022. The answer to the perennial question: "Is there anything more for me to learn?" How the networking opportunities offered by the program allow you to build connections with the top 10% in the country. Why internships that only allow participants to "shadow" office environments are missing out on a powerful learning opportunity. And so much more...

In today's episode of Traffic Makers, Rachel explores this common, if not entirely pleasant, part of running a business.  Through the example of a local donut shop, you'll discover the reasons why business owners occasionally become irritated with their customers, start seeing their content as uninteresting and even forget why they went into business in the first place.

Join Rachel as she helps you navigate the ebb and flow of your business so you can get back to what you do best.

"If you build it, they will come."   Most of us know that line from the film, 'Field of Dreams.' It's inspirational, but not a great strategy when building a business - especially when it applies to the core values of your business.   In June of 2008, Darius attended an event in which he experienced a "gut punch" that completely changed the trajectory of his life and forced him to rethink the way he ran his business.   In this quick solo outing, Darius shares the story of his life-altering experience - and it all came down to three simple questions, starting with, "Does your business have core values?" Core values are powerful tools for any business, but, as Darius discovered, there's far more to them than it appears.   You'll learn why creating core values for your business is important, but only the beginning of the process, not the end.   You'll discover why 9 out of 10 business owners get the idea of "core values" wrong.   You'll also learn about the power of "invisible scale" and how you can use this strategy to massively build your business.   Core values are powerful tools, but only if they're understood and used correctly by everyone in your business.   Stay tuned to the end for an exciting announcement about a new project Darius will be debuting shortly!   Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: Why three questions at an event completely changed the trajectory of Darius' life. Why having core values and knowing what they actually are... are two completely different things. The power of "invisible scale." And so much more...

Have you or someone you know ever ended up in "Facebook Jail?" When you run afoul of the rules and guidelines put in place by social media platforms, the result can be detrimental to your business.  In today's episode of The Traffic Makers, Rachel shares the stories of two clients - both of whom found themselves in trouble with Facebook, for alleged breaches of the platform's terms of service. You'll learn how, in some cases, you can do all the right things and still be penalized by the platform's algorithm. Using the example of "house rules" in her own home, Rachel will help you understand the types tactics and behaviors that can get you into trouble, such as impersonating an account, link redirecting and mass-tagging on posts.  You'll also discover the various lengths of time you may have to wait before you can access your profile again, as well as guiding you through the process of regaining access should the worst occur. Landing in Facebook jail can feel like a terrible blow to your business, but it's important to remember that it's not the end of the world!   Join Rachel as she helps you understand the behaviors that can get you into trouble, and how you can actively avoid them -  reducing the likelihood that you'll inadvertently break the rules.

What happens when your business has a huge audience, but not enough sales? You've seen them online: influencers with millions of followers and massive engagement. You'd be forgiven for thinking they must be making a huge profit from such a huge audience.  What you may not realize is that many of them don't have solid businesses that can leverage that engagement and turn it into profit. For many, this begs the question, is there any point in building an audience in the first place? The answer is yes, but only if it's done correctly. In this episode of "The Traffic Makers," Rachel discusses the reasons many entrepreneurs fail to make the best use of the audience they've spent so long building. You'll learn the three issues that prevent businesses from turning millions of fans into millions of customers, and why it's so vital that your product is seen by your "perfect people." You'll discover that the reason you're not selling your otherwise amazing product or service is likely a problem with your messaging, as well as the reasons why, for some businesses, a small audience may actually be more profitable than a huge one. During this episode, Rachel will also introduce you to the customer journey - the path a person takes as they evolve from "stranger" to "customer." Join Rachel as she helps you learn how to match your amazing product or service with the right people and the right messaging. Enjoy!   What You'll Learn in this Show: Why there are so many businesses that have lots of fans, but very little impact (and even less revenue.) The three issues that prevent entrepreneurs from turning millions of fans into millions of customers. How to outline the stages along your unique customer journey.  Why for some businesses, a huge audience may not be as valuable as you might think. And so much more...

Fr. Josh goes in depth on two questions: What principles should Catholics turn to when it comes to voting for a political candidate? And is celebrating Halloween morally acceptable? Snippet from the Show “Why would any follower of Jesus Christ vote for a candidate whose policies are diametrically and directly opposed to the core beliefs we hold sacred as Catholics?” SHOWNOTES Glory Story (2:08) Listener Feedback (4:20) Celebrating Halloween (9:49) Hi Father Josh!! First off, thank God for your existence, I appreciate you! I’ve been listening to you since July when a brother named Erik at a conference for men, called Triumph, told me about you (he’s probably listening to this shout out to him). Your content is very informative and it feeds my spirit. My question is, Is Halloween bad to celebrate? I’ve heard things from yes, because you're celebrating the devil to yes because satanic people do things on Halloween. But I wanted to hear from a Father, what’s your opinion on it? - Erik Catholic Voting (15:52) Hi Father Josh, I really enjoy your podcast and love your random singing bits! Shout out to Charles my bf as he loves you too. In Canada we just recently had our 2019 election, and I just want to know your thoughts on the election and, if anything, what does the Church teach on how to vote the “Catholic” way? - Michelle Resources * Broken and Blessed: An Invitation to My Generation by Fr.

Today Fr. Josh answers questions about women wearing chapel veils at Mass, what to do with our God-given freedom, and whether certain methods for preventing pregnancy are permissible during times of fertility. If you have a question, comment, or response for Fr. Josh, email us at askfrjosh@ascensionpress.com. You may hear your question or comment in an upcoming podcast episode! Snippet from the Show “Why do some women wear a veil? When a woman veils herself in the presence of the Eucharistic Lord, it’s a visible reminder of our spousal relationship, the bridal relationship between Christ and the Church.” SHOWNOTES Glory Story (1:26) Fr. Josh went to visit St. Joseph’s Seminary in Abbey College (where he went to seminary for four years). He spent time with the Lord in the woods and as it started getting darker, he began to hear weird noises. Listener Feedback (4:48) Free Will (9:47) Dear Father Josh, Thanks for your prayerful, joyful advice - it's been very helpful for me. I especially enjoy when you hum and sing songs from random words you read off because if you didn't I probably would - except without sounding as good! I wanted to comment on a previous topic & bring up a new one. I found myself agreeing with your response about the need to make our churches more "inclusive" not in a cheap way but a meaningful way that opens even wider the gates to holiness! I was thinking about how so many of my married friends were inspired and encouraged by the canonization of saints like St. Gianna Molla and Louis and Zelie (parents of St. Therese). Although the Church teaches that marriage is also a path to holiness, not just celibacy for the Kingdom, it is a whole other level of encouragement and hope when you see brothers and sisters in your state of life joining the cloud of witnesses - it takes away a sneaking (maybe even subconscious lurking doubt) that maybe it's almost impossible. In the same way, although I am Indian, seeing your style which is a different flavor than many other great Catholic speakers made me breathe a little easier and feel relaxed. I hadn't even noticed that I didn't totally identify with the style of many other Catholic speakers because I was busy being edified by their content. I realize that for whatever reason I was somewhat associating being a good Catholic with certain cultural quirks or perhaps doubtful that I can enjoy random stuff like Lauryn Hill. So thank you for being you! Now for my question. For over a decade of my Christian life I had been trying to focus a lot on building virtues, and trusting in Jesus. Recently, in addition to both of those, through another season of renewal in the Spirit, I am realizing that Jesus also trusts ME! I know this is true not only through my personal prayer but also in that He made me (and all of us) free, the Church affirms this, and Jesus makes it plain in the Scriptures. For me, this new life of freedom has been, to be honest, kind of discombobulating! I am not just called to avoid sin but to be free to co-create with Him. Although this has brought me much joy, I am also realizing I kind of don't even know what to do with this beautiful, true freedom. The poem about the 'Grand Inquisitor' by Dostoevsky has taken on a whole other meaning for me all of a sudden. I noticed that the introduction of your podcast respects your listeners' interior freedom and you seem to have a generous amount yourself so I thought I'll ask you: Could you share some insights on how to welcome our God-given freedom to love, to rejoice and live deeply? -Simi Chapel Veils (24:17) Dear Fr Josh, I have been meaning to send you a message much sooner. I am happy that I finally got around to it now! I am quite new to the church, in fact I will be confirmed next week at the Easter Vigil. I was lucky enough to attend my first Latin Mass in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. I wore my veil to this mass and I absolutely loved the feeling of being hidden and humbled in front of our Lord. Although, last year we travelled to Portugal and I attended a Latin Mass there in Lisbon, but I did not have my veil with me and was dressed quite "sporty". We happened to be just visiting the area, so I could not go home and get my veil or change. I felt out of place amongst all the other women. They were all dressed so modestly and had their heads covered. It was a beautiful sight to see. Ever since I first wore my veil back in South Africa, I have had the urge to keep wearing it. I am not sure if God is calling me to wear my veil to an ordinary mass as we do not have mass in the extraordinary form in Namibia. But I just can't help but feel that God is God whether it's extraordinary or ordinary mass. I often look at Mary, our Mother and observe how she always wore a veil. She has been a big part in my conversion to Catholicism. Another thought that keeps me awake at night is a quote I read by a devout Catholic man. He said that he was envious of women. For they can humble themselves in public by covering their heads. They can show their reverence for Jesus present in the Eucharist by putting on a veil. Although, most people I have spoken to told me that it is old fashioned and not necessary. Someone mentioned that it would be more distracting in mass for others than anything else. My question is, are they right? As I will be the only person in my town who will be wearing a veil. Thank you Father for taking the time to help me with this. Have a blessed day, father. -New to the Faith Methods for Preventing Pregnancy (31:18) Hey Father Josh, I first off would like to tell you how much I love your podcast, my husband and I listen every week. I love how you keep it real, and how you truly care. You are a blessing , more than you know. I am writing to you in the hopes that you can explain something to me in a way that I can understand and accept. A bit of back story, I am a cradle Catholic who was away from the church for many years- college through my early 30’s. Getting married and having 3 beautiful children brought me home to Jesus and I am now so excited to reconnect with my faith. I am totally on board with pretty much everything the Church teaches, except one: the Church’s teaching on birth control . Here’s the thing: I do understand why things like the pill, condoms, etc are wrong. My husband and I stopped using any form of artificial birth control about a year ago. I started looking in to NFP, but felt the classes were more geared toward newly married/engaged couples. It was really overwhelming. My husband and I have been married 10 years, and he really doesn’t see why using the withdrawal method is wrong. Can you please explain to me why that method of family planning is worse than NFP? Both are used to plan/time pregnancies. Both have the possibility of life. I am turning 40 this year (Yikes!) and my husband just turned 50. We are not at a phase in our lives to be having more babies. We want to follow mother church, but the whole process of learning NFP is intimidating. Most of our peers are either on birth control, or have had procedures done such as vasectomies. Is the withdrawal method really so wrong? I feel we are united, we are connected, and the possibility of life is still here. Please explain this to me in a way I can understand. Thank you so much for all you do, we keep you in our prayers. Peace. -Anonymous Universal Points (37:38) (Please note that these are brief summaries of the answers Fr. Josh provides in the podcast and are intended to help you remember the advice given on the show.) Today’s ONE Overarching Universal Point: Freedom in Christ brings joy! As long as we follow the commands of the Lord, he wants us to be free, wild, fun, creative, quiet, and to be ourselves. So be free and be the saint that God is calling you to be.

Why do Catholics focus so much on the crucifixion instead of the resurrection? Why do they claim to eat Jesus' body and drink His blood during the Mass?

Tommy Walker has written some of our favorite ecommerce content for some of our favorite sites over the past couple of years including ConversionXL and now Shopify Plus. He has a wealth of knowledge about content marketing and shares with us his best strategies for establishing a system to generate a large amount of quality, effective content for ecommerce companies. He shares all in today's episode, take a listen. Not every ecommerce company needs content marketing as a crucial part of their strategy. As Tommy puts it... I don't need an article about how to make my bed if I'm buying sheets online. However, if part of your mission is to build a lifestyle brand surrounding your product then content needs to be a big focus for you as it builds community, loyal customers, and drives a lot of traffic when done right. Tommy shares his personal 'code' (the one he's using for the Shopify blog he's now running) for successfully writing articles and hiring people able to create quality, effective content. The key is to clearly define the audience you are addressing and what your brand stands for. With this in hand, you can hire great talent and give them the information they need to be able to write the content you expect in order to reflect your vision. In this podcast we'll also cover an amazing workflow you can copy in order to manage content and writers just like Tommy does at Shopify. If you can run a system like this, you'll be able to consistently (and efficiently) knock out content that attracts great customers. Key Takeaways from the Show Why content marketing might not be right for your ecommerce company. How to hire writers for your content team. What you need to know about creating great content. Lifestyle brand vs Service oriented product. How to manage content production and independent writers.
