In our latest episode, Michelle Lee (IDEO Play Lab) makes the case that play unlocks the next billion-dollar AI market. She reminds us that kids don't stop at answers—they ask what if and turn shoes into cars or planes. That divergent mindset is exactly what product teams have lost.“Play is one of the best ways to challenge the norms, to think wide, imagine new possibilities.”Michelle shares:* How IDEO discovered billion-dollar opportunities (like PillPack, later acquired by Amazon) by staying curious.* Why teams should sometimes use older, glitchier versions of AI tools, because the “mistakes” spark better ideas.* Why incrementalism burns teams out and how designing for attitudinal loyalty beats chasing short-term metrics.
Paul says in Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." (NIV). This is a very popular verse that is usually taken out of context as it is often associated with our ability to accomplish a difficult task. Paul is actually speaking of being content in all situations and circumstances because he holds fast to Jesus and His comforting hand to endure. Today we close out this Silent Killer series as we discuss discontentment. Watch as Lead Pastor Kevin Barton brings the energy and honesty in today message about remembering who we belong to and like Paul who was writing from prison that we can be content if we remember the promises of God. Not matter the challenge, "To live is Christ and to die is gain."

Dynamic leaders get results. They are resourceful, relentless, and often admired for their energy. But their very drive can hide a fatal weakness: poor listening. In Japan, where leaders must push hard against resistance to get things done, the risk of steamrolling staff and clients is even higher. The result is lost opportunities, frustrated teams, and organisations where only the boss's voice is heard. Real leadership is not just about vision and energy—it's about creating space for others to contribute. That begins with listening. Why do dynamic leaders struggle with listening? Ambitious leaders are trained to act decisively. In meetings, they often dominate the airspace with passion and ideas, leaving little room for others. This urgency is magnified in Japan, where leaders battle entrenched bureaucracy and cultural resistance to change. Over time, the habit of “push, push, push” becomes ingrained. The cost? Missed signals. Clients drop hints. Staff offer clues. But if no one listens, those opportunities vanish. Mini-summary: Energetic leaders often talk too much, missing signals from clients and staff that could unlock opportunities. How is poor listening especially damaging in Japan? Japan's business culture prizes harmony and subtlety. Signals are rarely delivered bluntly; they come in hints, pauses, and indirect language. Leaders who don't listen carefully fail to catch these cues. Staff then disengage, and clients feel misunderstood. Over time, organisations develop a culture where employees stop contributing because they expect the boss to decide everything. This “player-manager” dynamic is already widespread in Japan, reinforcing silence instead of dialogue. Mini-summary: In Japan's subtle communication culture, poor listening destroys trust and creates passive, disengaged teams. What's the link between sales and leadership listening? In sales, we say “selling isn't telling.” The same applies to leadership. Leaders are always selling—whether it's vision, culture, or strategy. But when they dominate every discussion, they don't persuade; they bulldoze. People may nod along, but as the saying goes, “A man convinced against his will is of the same conviction still.” Leaders who mistake compliance for commitment are fooling themselves. True persuasion requires dialogue, mutual respect, and listening. Mini-summary: Leadership is persuasion, and persuasion requires listening—not monologues. How can leaders build trust by listening consistently? Listening isn't a one-off event. Staff need to see leaders ask questions repeatedly before they believe their voices matter. And when employees share ideas, the leader's reaction determines future engagement. Dismissing contributions slams the door shut. Encouraging them opens it wider. Over time, consistent listening creates psychological safety—a culture where employees feel their opinions are valued. In Japan, this consistency is crucial to break the habit of waiting silently for the boss to decide everything. Mini-summary: Consistent listening, encouragement, and respect build trust and transform passive staff into active contributors. What practical steps can leaders take to improve listening? The first step is to slow down. Stop filling the silence. Ask thoughtful questions, then resist the urge to jump in with solutions. Use eye contact and silence to show attention. Acknowledge contributions without immediate judgment. Leaders should also check their own self-awareness. Are they dominating meetings? Are staff shutting down? Like in sales training, practice matters: role-playing, coaching, and feedback can sharpen listening skills. Dale Carnegie's leadership programs in Tokyo focus specifically on these habits, helping leaders replace monologues with real dialogue. Mini-summary: Slow down, ask, listen, and encourage—habits that can be strengthened with deliberate practice and training. What balance must leaders strike between drive and inclusiveness? Drive alone moves projects forward, but it doesn't build commitment. Listening alone creates harmony, but without direction results stall. Effective leaders balance both. They empower rather than overpower. They multiply their own energy by combining it with the insights of others. In Japan, where projects demand persistence, this balance is especially vital. Leaders who only push create passive order-takers. Leaders who also listen create allies—staff who feel engaged and clients who feel understood. Mini-summary: Great leaders balance dynamism with inclusiveness, gaining allies instead of silent resisters. The silent killer of leadership is poor listening. In Japan and globally, too many dynamic leaders undermine themselves by talking more than they listen. The fix is deceptively simple: ask questions, listen consistently, and encourage contributions. Listening doesn't weaken leadership—it strengthens it. It builds trust, loyalty, and cooperation. In 2025, with businesses under pressure to innovate and retain talent, leaders who cultivate listening will stand apart. They won't just drive results—they'll inspire commitment.

This week we're addressing the destructive force of sexual lust—a sin that quietly corrodes the soul, sabotages marriages, and distorts intimacy. When fed, especially through pornography, lust reduces people to objects—commodities to be consumed and discarded—leaving behind shame and broken trust. In today's message, Lead Pastor Kevin Barton exposes this silent killer, drawing on powerful biblical examples that reveal how every hidden deed will one day be brought to light. He teaches us that freedom doesn't come from sheer willpower, but through surrender—turning to God, who alone can break the chains of lust. If you've wrestled with this struggle, we invite you to watch and receive hope, healing, and the assurance that God's grace is stronger than any sin.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this powerful episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Chandler Rogers—founder of the Relay app and a man on a mission to help men break free from pornography and reclaim deep connection. Chandler shares his raw personal story as a new dad, a husband navigating the fog of sleep deprivation, and a man who turned his own struggle with porn into a platform that has already helped over 5,000 men heal. This conversation isn't just about addiction—it's about isolation, shame, leadership, and stepping into the masculine role your family needs. Chandler reveals the emotional spiral that so many husbands silently endure and how one vulnerable conversation with his wife brought them closer than ever. We talk about why porn is not the real issue, how to lead with emotional clarity, and what it means to truly be seen by your partner. If you've ever struggled with secret shame, felt alone in your role as a dad or husband, or craved deeper intimacy and purpose, this episode will show you you're not broken—just unfinished. Real healing starts with connection. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge and today's focus: breaking the shame cycle [3:09] - Becoming a father: sleep deprivation, joy, and surprises [8:45] - Marriage after kids: missed connection, emotional gaps, and resentment [12:06] - The physical toll of fatherhood and why self-care matters [13:29] - The emotional cost of disconnection in marriage [15:09] - How resentment is the cancer of relationships [16:50] - Why Chandler named his platform “Relay” and its deeper meaning [18:20] - Why isolation fuels addiction and how connection heals [19:34] - Why porn isn't the problem—it's a comfort mechanism [20:35] - Porn as a symptom of emotional wounds, not the root cause [21:21] - Childhood trauma, hyper-stimulus, and the pain-pleasure cycle [22:56] - How most men justify porn use (and why those stories fall apart) [25:35] - The shame spiral: dissociation, numbness, and fragmentation [28:54] - When needs go unmet: rationalizing porn through “selflessness” [30:11] - Owning masculine needs without blame or desperation [32:03] - Chandler's powerful conversation with his wife that changed everything [33:17] - Why emotional awareness is the first step to intimacy [34:18] - The feminine response: how wives crave emotional leadership [35:30] - The difference between openness and emotional outbursts [36:38] - The moment Chandler reconnected with his wife through vulnerability [39:47] - How unspoken needs lead to resentment—and eventually porn [41:25] - The silver lining: how healing starts with connection [43:20] - How Relay works: anonymous, app-based community for men [46:45] - Why your wife shouldn't be your accountability partner [48:02] - Why connection must be as easy as access to porn [49:47] - How Relay connects you with the right people [51:36] - Seeing your group's progress and showing up with purpose [53:11] - Designing your future vs. resisting your past [54:11] - Replacing one habit with a better one: app design insights [56:33] - How a community will help you grow into a better person [58:01] - The real problem isn't desire, it's implementation [01:00:00] - Why information alone won't change your life [1:01:06] - Where to find Chandler and the Relay app 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Porn Isn't the Problem—It's the Pain Most men turn to porn not out of lust, but to numb discomfort, avoid connection, or cope with emotional pain they haven't addressed. 2. Resentment Is the Silent Killer of Marriage Unspoken needs become stories. Stories become disconnection. And disconnection becomes resentment. That's the cancer that silently kills intimacy. 3. You're Not Broken—You're Just Unfinished Most men don't lack desire or information—they lack implementation. Healing is not about perfection. It's about progress with others. 4. Emotional Leadership Is Masculine When men speak their needs clearly—without blame, shame, or desperation—it inspires women to soften, lean in, and reconnect. 5. Connection Is the Antidote to Shame Isolation fuels addiction. Community kills shame. Vulnerability with safe men in a trusted circle is what creates lasting transformation.

The Leukaemia Foundation says one in 12 people in Australia is at risk of being diagnosed with blood cancer. Still, a lack of awareness about symptoms means many cancers go undiagnosed for longer periods. Sydney-based GP Prabin Pathak spoke to SBS Nepali about symptoms and precautionary measures people can take.

Contempt is one of the most corrosive emotions in any relationship, and after betrayal, it shows up on both sides. The betrayed partner may see the unfaithful as beneath respect. The unfaithful partner may grow contemptuous of how long healing takes. Either way, contempt is the silent killer of connection, intimacy, and empathy. In this episode, Luke explores what contempt really is, how it differs from resentment, why it so often takes root after infidelity, and why it makes reconciliation almost impossible if left unaddressed. You'll also hear why contempt usually requires outside help to shift, and what it takes to eradicate it before it destroys the possibility of repair. Key Takeaways Resentment says “I'm hurt.” Contempt says “You're beneath me.” The difference matters. Betrayed partners often fall into contempt when painful thoughts harden into a permanent narrative. Unfaithful partners may develop contempt out of shame and frustration when healing takes longer than they want. Contempt blinds us to itself, which is why outside support is often essential for change. Intimacy, empathy, and repair can't survive contempt, it must be eradicated, not managed.

Click here to view and purchase The Three/Five Steps to Overcoming Price Inquiries on the Phone Click here to listen to Why your Marketing Strategy Sucks! Lights, studio, truth. Brian Wright and returning co-host Dr. Robert Barton open this episode like a frank conversation between business partners who refuse polite platitudes. What begins as a backyard reunion — complete with whitewater rafting and a busted plantar fascia — quickly becomes a case study in missed opportunity: Dr. Barton's urgent call to a nearby clinic goes unanswered, and what follows is a forensic tour of why that single moment represents a universal epidemic in customer acquisition. Through anecdote and data, Brian and Robert unpack five stealthy ways practices and small businesses quietly lose new patients and customers: inconsistent Google hours that push prospects away before they even dial, voicemails and web leads that die in a queue, missed calls that never get returned, undertrained front-desk staff who can't sell value over price, and the mindset that confuses cheaper with smarter. They don't sugarcoat the truth — this episode will make you uncomfortable if you're not ready to act. Every story is a lesson. Dr. Barton's snapped plantar fascia and the failed local clinic become the entry point into startling statistics — nearly half of inbound medical/dental calls go unanswered — and a vivid metaphor: your practice is a leaky boat, and plugging those holes is far more effective than bailing water with more advertising. Brian and Robert show how tiny operational shifts (adjusting your Google hours, answering web leads in under 10 minutes, owning the voicemail follow-up) convert casual searchers into loyal fans — the people who drive referral streams and exponential growth. But this episode is not just technical advice; it's a leadership story. They challenge owners to stop asking staff if calls are being answered (staff rarely tell the boss when things fail) and instead take ownership: observe, mystery-call, measure, and train. Real-world vignettes — from Whole Foods baggers to treatment coordinators and back-office chaos — illustrate how experience and hospitality can command higher prices and deeper loyalty, while penny-pinching on operations leaks annual revenue that never shows up on the balance sheet. Listen for practical takeaways you can act on immediately: how to rethink your Google profile, why rapid lead response matters, the scripts and mindset that make front-desk conversations convert, and why outsourcing or backup answering services can be a surgical fix the moment you implement them. If you want blunt, evidence-backed advice delivered with humor, urgency, and a co-host who's been in the trenches, press play — and bring a notepad.

Is the pursuit of comfort silently distracting you from what truly matters most in your life?In today's episode, we dive deep into a subtle but dangerous tactic the enemy often uses to pull men away from living on mission for God—comfort. While distractions like phones, TV, and social media are easy to spot, comfort is far more deceptive. It can lull you into apathy, diminish your dependence on God, and keep you from pursuing the bold, God-sized dreams He's placed in your heart.Jonathan unpacks 3 powerful signs that comfort might be holding you back and shares personal stories and biblical examples—like Moses' call from the burning bush and the faith of a couple in Guatemala—that challenge us to re-examine what we're really living for.Are you relying on God for anything in your life right now? Are you facing any criticism for your faith? Are you dreaming dreams that require divine intervention?This episode will inspire you to step out of your comfort zone, rediscover your mission, and live with boldness and intentionality.It's time to stop coasting and start living—for God, for your calling, and for the impact you were created to make.
The Silent Killer of the Mind: What You Don't Know About Alzheimer's Could Be Hurting You Already What if the path to Alzheimer's doesn't begin in your 70s—but is already unfolding in your 30s, 40s, or even earlier? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Robert Love, we expose one of the most misunderstood, underestimated health threats of our generation—Alzheimer's disease—and what you can do today to not only prevent it, but potentially reverse its early effects. I've had some of the best minds on this show, but Dr. Love stands out. He's not just brilliant—he's a world-class communicator on a mission to bring hope, tools, and clarity to one of the scariest topics out there: losing your mind. Dr. Love pulls back the curtain on the real causes of Alzheimer's—and it's not just genetics. It's inflammation. It's sugar. It's chronic stress. It's poor sleep. He explains how our modern lifestyle is sabotaging our brain health decades before symptoms appear. And here's what hit me hard: your inflammation levels at age 40 are one of the strongest predictors of your Alzheimer's risk at 70. That's not fear—that's a wake-up call. But the best part? We're not powerless. From simple lifestyle shifts to breakthrough supplements like lion's mane and curcumin, Dr. Love shows us the map to protecting the most vital organ we've got—our brain. We also dive into cutting-edge science that isn't just about prevention—it's about reversal. Dr. Love shares promising new treatments and even clinical results from his medical clinic where Alzheimer's symptoms have improved or stabilized through non-drug protocols. He gives us a first-hand account of a patient who went from disoriented and forgetful to alert, clear, and sharp—all within six months. I'm telling you, this isn't science fiction. This is the new frontier of brain health. Beyond the data and science, what really resonated with me was this: so much of what protects the brain is also what builds a better life—quality sleep, exercise, meaningful learning, low stress, good food, and strong relationships. Dr. Love reminds us that joy, curiosity, and purpose aren't just nice-to-haves—they're biological armor for your brain. And if you're young and thinking this episode doesn't apply to you? Think again. The decisions you make today will echo into the quality of your future decades. Key Takeaways: Alzheimer's starts decades before symptoms appear—your 40s matter Inflammation is one of the biggest risk factors for cognitive decline Sleep, gut health, stress, and sugar all have massive impacts on brain aging Supplements like lion's mane, curcumin, and NMN can support neurogenesis Alzheimer's symptoms can be improved or reversed with lifestyle interventions Your lifestyle is not just shaping your body—it's shaping your brain This one is a must-listen. Share it with someone you love. This information can change lives. — Max Out
