Podcasts about Simplicity

What does it actually take to build a multi-million-dollar service business, stay sane through recessions, and still love the work after 26 years? In this episode, Steve DHondt (PMS Brick Pavers) invites us into his shop, his mindset, and his faith-driven approach to leadership and growth. Steve runs a $6–7M outdoor living and hardscaping company with 60+ employees—and he's calling it now: a massive wave of home-service businesses won't survive past 2026 if they don't get lean, efficient, and intentional. We talk about debt, consolidation, leadership, equipment, family trade-offs, and how to believe in yourself when things get heavy and messy.   "I'm not rich — my business is. I get paid a salary like everyone else. Because when I don't choke my business with my personal lifestyle, it can keep growing, keep providing, and keep taking care of the people in it." – Steve Dhondt   In this episode, we cover: Why 35% of home-service businesses may not open in 2026 What smart debt vs pride debt looks like in real life Consolidating services so your team can actually win How AI + software automation keeps small shops competitive Leading through recession without panicking What "efficiency" really means in the field Missing dinners, guilt, family tension—and how to handle it Growing past the five-year itch when you're burned out Equipment strategy: buy cheap vs buy once and win on efficiency How Steve thinks about faith, fear, and confidence   Key Takeaways Efficiency Beats Ego: The nicest personal truck doesn't pay the bills. Revenue-producing assets do. In a tightening economy, upgrade equipment, systems, and software—not your image. If it doesn't increase safety, productivity, or profit, it's optional. Simplify or Get Burned Out: Stop offering every service under the sun. Consolidate, specialize, and systemize what you do every day. Random jobs create chaos, weak crews, and nonstop fires. Simplicity scales—complexity drains your life. People Are the Real Business: You don't just build patios—you build people. Invest in your team's tools, training, and lives outside of work. When employees feel supported and trusted (even allowed to fail), they take better care of customers than any owner ever could   Connect with Steve Dhondt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steveisalwaysright/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-dhondt-534b23166/ Website: https://www.weretheguys.com/about-us Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

Worship Leader Desi Whorton reflects on the Lord's Prayer, highlighting its profound simplicity and the significance behind its words. Through this, Desi emphasizes the importance of our relationship with God, encouraging us to understand the prayer's deeper meaning as Jesus taught his disciples.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast (Mussar Masterclass, Gate of Forgetfulness), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the trait of forgetfulness as a dangerous flaw in both this world and the next. Forgetfulness leads to broken commitments, forgotten debts (even a penny must be recorded), and lost opportunities for mitzvot. He advises creating systems/reminders (notes, ledgers) to compensate, avoiding borrowing if forgetfulness is chronic to prevent embarrassment or transgression, and reviewing affairs diligently.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes forgetting good deeds (to avoid arrogance) while remembering sins (to repent), and forgetting wrongs done to us (to forgive) while recalling our own harms to seek forgiveness. He stresses constant remembrance of Hashem's presence (like a king holding a Torah scroll) and using forgetfulness positively—forgetting worldly distractions during prayer to connect simply with Hashem. The chapter concludes that mitzvot are lights removing darkness; forgetting them wastes chances to illuminate the world. True greatness comes from striving for more mitzvot, not resting on past achievements.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on June 9, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 30, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Send us a Positive Review!Series title: Mormon Faith Crisis—Progression, Not Pathology [Part II of III]In today's episode Valerie and guest researcher Jeff Strong explore why people in the same LDS congregation can experience church so differently, depending on where they are in their faith journey. They introduce Jeff's model of six faith mindsets—seekers, cultivators, protectors, avoiders, connectors, and explorers—each representing valid and meaningful ways of engaging faith. The problem? That many of these healthy and normal ways of engaging with one's faith journey are pathologized within the LDS culture at both local and general levels. Valerie and Jeff hope that research like Jeff's and platforms like Latter Day Struggles will place growth where it actually belongs--as normal, natural, and precisely what each of us are here on this earth to do. Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction and Welcome00:22 – Series Overview and Jeff's Background01:18 – Exploring Church Demographics and Tensions02:45 – Review of Previous Episode04:00 – Cultural Causes of Tension05:30 – The Weight of Disaffiliation07:00 – Research Methodology and Data Collection07:58 – Strengths of LDS Culture09:45 – Personal Reflections on Community11:35 – Weaknesses of LDS Culture13:20 – The Soil Metaphor for Culture15:00 – The River Metaphor: Rigidity vs. Chaos17:10 – The Impact of Cultural Rigidity18:45 – The Struggle for Belonging20:09 – Stages of Faith Development22:00 – Simplicity and Complexity Explained23:45 – Perplexity and Harmony Explained25:30 – Faith Journeys and Community Reactions27:00 – The Pain of Being Misunderstood28:22 – Personal Faith Journeys29:47 – The Garden of Eden Metaphor30:47 – Pathologizing Growth in Faith32:00 – The Need for Community Support33:09 – Community and Belonging33:52 – Brian McLaren's Model in Scriptures35:30 – The Arc of Human Spiritual Growth37:25 – Understanding Different Faith Mindsets39:00 – Disparities in Perceptions of Christ-Centeredness40:30 – The Loneliness of Nonconformity42:04 – Introducing the Six Segments44:00 – Descriptions of Each Segment46:00 – The Dynamic Nature of Faith Mindsets47:00 – Encouragement for Self-Reflection48:24 – Conclusion and Next StepsSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

This is a moment to reflect on devotion, as Elder Michael Cziesla explains the simplicity of the gospel.

It's that most festive of periods, that most goodwill of all men, that most silent and holy of nights, and you know what that means: We're skipping out on the usual postwar depictions of middle-aged men being miserable to see what exactly we remember about a movie we all last watched in May 2021.

Once you understand that we're after change in our bodies, we can better structure training to reach our goals.  Visit Dan's website or follow him on Instagram here.  Please support the show by supporting our partners!

Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

U.S. investing for Americans in Israel starts with understanding what you actually own and why it belongs in your portfolio. When you live in Israel and manage U.S. brokerage and I.R.A. accounts, complexity can quietly creep in. Different platforms, cross-border rules, confusing statements, and unfamiliar strategies often lead people to stop asking questions and rely on blind trust. That may feel easier in the moment, but it usually increases stress and uncertainty when markets move or life changes. This episode focuses on simplifying U.S. investments without watering them down. The core idea is that confidence comes from clarity. When you understand how your investments work, what drives their performance, and whether they truly fit a cross-border lifestyle, financial decisions become calmer and more intentional. Simplicity is not about being basic. It is about being able to explain your strategy clearly and knowing it aligns with life in Israel while still serving long-term goals. Main ideas and key takeaways: Confusing investments often create anxiety and emotional decision-making. Understanding what you own is essential for managing U.S. brokerage and I.R.A. accounts from Israel. Knowing what drives market movement helps investors stay disciplined during volatility. Cross-border suitability matters just as much as investment performance. Read the full article and explore more resources here: https://profile-financial.com/blog

Mike sits down with Lawrence Longo, a serial food and hospitality entrepreneur whose journey from hidden menu curator to restaurant empire builder has reshaped how people connect through food. Lawrence shares how his early obsession with experience over ego led him from launching Off the Menu — a community built around secret dishes and insider dining — to reviving Irv's Burgers, expanding Prince St. Pizza nationwide, and building a hospitality group that's redefining what "premium fast food" really means. They dive into the lessons learned from scaling beloved brands without losing their soul, the role of storytelling and community in hospitality, and what travel and culture have taught Lawrence about simplicity, obsession, and belonging.

Send us a textA quiet nudge, a tightness in your stomach, a question you can't shake—those moments aren't magic tricks. They're signals. We explore how intuition actually works, why it often shows up as a bodily sensation before a thought, and how to tell the difference between a clear internal no and plain old fear. Nancy shares a recent “interview” that arrived via chat-only messages and stacked up red flags, and we turn that story into a practical checklist for staying open to opportunity without getting played.We dig into the gut-brain axis and the role diet and stress have in shaping judgment. When your digestive system is overloaded with processed food and your mind is cluttered with noise, subtle patterns get drowned out. On the flip side, when you simplify inputs—cleaner meals, calmer routines, less visual clutter—discernment gets faster and cleaner. We also talk about the skills we lose to routine and constant stimulation, and how simple practices like slow nasal breathing, short meditations, cold exposure, long walks, and better sleep bring your sixth sense back online.This conversation is grounded, not mystical. Verify recruiters on LinkedIn. Question chat-only interviews. Tally red flags without assuming bad intent. Declutter one room and notice how your breath changes. Pause before major decisions and act from calm instead of urgency.

#670: As we close out 2025, premium credit cards are more expensive and more complicated than ever. It's fair to ask whether the points game is still worth the effort. We sit down with Chris Hutchins, host of All the Hacks, to talk about what's changed in credit card rewards, and how to decide whether to stick with travel points, switch to cash back, or run a hybrid strategy that keeps your life simple. We dig into the “value” problem behind all those new credits and perks. Instead of letting a card dictate our spending, we walk through how to price credits based on what we would genuinely pay for them, and when it's smarter to downgrade, negotiate a retention offer, or product change and keep your credit history intact. We also get tactical about booking travel in 2026: newer award search tools, how much flexibility matters, and a sneaky alternative most people forget, sometimes you can buy points directly and still get a strong deal without years of “earning.” If you want to earn more points (or waste less time chasing them), this conversation will help you reset your credit card strategy for 2026 with a clearer definition of what “worth it” even means. Key Takeaways “Credits” are not value unless we were already going to buy the thing, and we'd happily pay close to face value for that discount The points game is still powerful, but mostly through welcome offers, not micro-optimizing bonus categories Flexibility is the hidden lever in award travel, the best deals often show up when we loosen the date, airport, or destination constraints Cash back is having a moment, especially if we want simplicity and fewer mental tabs open. Before canceling a fee card, we can often negotiate, downgrade, or product change and keep the credit history we've built Sometimes the best move is to stop “maximizing,” take the trip, and protect our time for higher-impact work (or actual rest) Resources and Links Chris Hutchins, All the Hacks (https://www.chrishutchins.com) Our deep dive on credit reports and scores, Episode 221 YouTube video mentioned on why airline loyalty programs can be worth more than the airlines themselves FlyFlat.com Seats.Aero Point.me Rome Travel AwardTool.com PointsYeah.com Daydream Explorer Chapters Note: Timestamps are approximate and may vary greatly across listening platforms due to dynamically inserted ads.

It's the holiday season once again, so we're back with KJB Christmas Staple John McClane to check out yet another Die Hard movie. This time, John's wife is long gone.

Their ingredients are backed by clinical data and contain three specific gut fibers that help promote GI health, digestion, reduced inflammation, and a better microbiome.
