The Singles Series continues with Devon from Florida, who has learned the value of leaning into the hard conversations instead of avoiding them. Devon is pastor, coach, and single dad who has intentionally embarked on his personal healing journey, increasing in his emotional awareness, his conflict and communication, and his desire for authenticity. His past relationship history showed him his tendency to hide from hard conversations, and with the help of God and good counseling, he's taking the opposite approach in this season of life, which is to embrace the hard conversations with the people he cares about. We talk about how conflict can lead to deeper intimacy, why it's important to master relationship skills in dating, and what he's looking for in a woman. Single ladies, if you love Jesus, dimples, and hoop earrings (you'll have to listen to get that joke), send Devon Daniel a message and start a conversation:   Instagram:Instagram.com/Devon_Daniel Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/devon.d.daniel/ Email: devon.daniel8282@gmail.com **A quick note: While we're excited to introduce you to the singles featured in this series, their appearance on the podcast should not be considered an endorsement or recommendation.

This bonus episode expands on the themes discussed in Episode 5 by providing a practical example of how energy resilience strategies are implemented at the local level. The discussion focuses on Switzerland's requirements for large energy consumers, organisations that exceed defined thresholds for electricity or heat consumption and are therefore subject to specific obligations to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. The guests explain the regulatory pathways available, including target agreements, energy audits, and cantonal agreements, highlighting how requirements can vary across Switzerland's 26 cantons. Ultimately, the case study reinforces a central theme of the series: global challenges require locally informed solutions, and energy resilience depends on balancing regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability goals. Guest quotes: Mariarosaria Gagliotti: “By meeting the definition of a large energy consumer, the company is obligated to take action, implementing reasonable measures to optimise energy consumption.” Sofiane Kessouar: “The LEED certification provides a framework for designing, constructing and operating highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings.” Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Introduction to the Swiss energy resilience case study 00:01:11 – Defining large energy consumers in Switzerland 00:02:13 – Legal obligations for energy efficiency and emissions reduction 00:02:31 – Regulatory compliance pathways and available options 00:03:31 – Choosing the most appropriate compliance strategy 00:04:09 – Single-site versus multi-site considerations 00:04:54 – Understanding Switzerland's cantonal structure 00:05:22 – Local regulations and sustainable construction leadership 00:05:55 – Introduction to LEED certification 00:06:31 – Benefits of green building standards 00:07:06 – Key LEED certification categories 00:07:39 – Lower operating costs and environmental benefits 00:07:57 – Reflections on local expertise and real-world case studies 00:08:06 – Closing remarks and the value of global collaboration Sponsor Copy Rethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

Las Vegas Rockers GENERATION LANDSLIDE release new album “EXISTENCE” via RFK MEDIAGeneration Landslide, led by former MCA recording artist/singer/guitarist Anthony White, will deliver their new album “Existence” worldwide via Ron Keel's RFK Media on July 3rd. The powerful single “Runnin' Out Of Time” will lead the way and is available as an instant download when you pre-order the digital album on iTunes or Amazon.Based in Las Vegas, Generation Landslide has proven their appeal coast to coast in, from a co-headline spot at the M3 Festival Pre Party in Columbia, Maryland to the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood.Anthony White's rock roots run deep. He powered Xcursion with bandmate Mark Slaughter prior to the singer's platinum success with Slaughter, was a member of the first officially sanctioned KISS tribute band Cold Gin with future KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer and signed with MCA Records as a founding member of Cold Sweat.“The whole idea is to try and bring back all those elements of listening to an album from top to bottom, taking the fans on a musical journey,” explains White. RFK Media's Aaron Fischer describes Generation Landslide's sound as “arena rock, heavily influenced by early KISS, Thin Lizzy, and Alice Cooper, which we love.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Solo Episode 120... There comes a moment when you realize the hardest person to let go of is the version of yourself you've outgrown. In this solo episode, B.Simone opens up about grieving the woman she used to be so she could finally embrace the woman she's becoming. She shares why healing requires releasing old identities, letting go of shame, and refusing to let your past keep you trapped in a version of yourself that no longer exists. She also encourages women to stop hiding their testimony. Your story isn't something to be embarrassed by... it's evidence of God's grace and could be the very thing that unlocks healing in someone else. B.Simone also shares why singleness doesn't have to be lonely. When you're truly content, at peace, and rooted in who you are, being single becomes one of the most beautiful and transformative seasons of your life. She also highlights the discipline she's building in the gym and how physical training teaches lessons that reach far beyond your body. Every workout develops self-control, resilience, consistency, and the ability to push through discomfort... qualities that help you navigate the hard seasons of life with strength and confidence. If you've been struggling to let go of your past, questioning this season of singleness, or looking for the courage to become the woman God is calling you to be, this conversation is for you.  Listen now

Cold openWelcome to the Treatment Funhouse…First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at a chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… something… different in your miserable life.[Brief music]Suddenly he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you he grabs a blowtorch…[music]IntroThis is AutisticAF Out Loud, Season 7, episode 1. Today, I find moments of joy… after some brutal ones.Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”I'm Johnny Profane. Startled awake. Taking a new direction. And writing a neurodivergent autobiography… out loud.Content note: Mentions abuse, trauma, suicidality... and dark humor.Just one autistic elder's voice. Raw.3 fragments from my free archive, autisticaf.me… I'll tell you more at the break.[music]Welcome to the Treatment FunhouseBeing trapped in the medical model of autism for decades?Imagine an elaborate carnival funhouse… the kind that's a maze. You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble. Guides you efficiently to the door.“Next room. Room of Knives. Yer gonna love it,” he laughs.“Just 22 to go.” Leans in… conspiratorially. Whispers in my ear…“Wait til the Meds room. Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of. Totally ignoring all the red danger flags of the coming disaster.Quick side note. Some folks wrote you couldn't read articles. Multiple platform problems… demands you subscribe… pestering friends, even if they used a“free” link.I heard ya . So, I built my free personal archive at autisticaf.me. No paywall. No ads to piss ya off. All free & shareable… on me.You'll find more pieces like this next one… there. — The Autistic Treatment Funhouse, Room of ExamsThey Called It Immaturity. They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass  —  made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk. Something I “waste time on” when there's nothing more important to do.They are my gateway to Bliss, Satori, Oneness… Maybe even whatever God is… or Isn't…I'm not talking toxic positivity. My autistic joys aren't some advanced spiritual state I've achieved in my 70s. And now, suddenly… I'm here to tell you how to make everything okay. And talk you into buying your 5th NEW self-help system on the way out the door.But my joys are moments of love and happiness sprinkled through most of my days. Between meltdowns and burnouts. And some average life.They are my reason for Being.There are just NOT 7 Easy Things that Successful Autistics Do…That Will Change My Life Forever.There's just living complex… and in the end… wild autistic life.being old & autistic ain't so bad.losing inhibitions.some of which protected me from…Life.freedom turns out to be pain…and joy…in superposition.until maybe they annihilate you.Notes from the bardobefore the bardoI learned a lot that Spring afternoon on the lawn in Johnson City.I saw Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg.And, eventually… I went for it.[music]OutroNow you know.

New Zealand's milking it in the dairy market, holding our place as the world's largest single-country dairy exporter. Rabobank's World Dairy Map shows we accounted for 22.1% of global exports last year. It highlights global dairy trade grew by 11% across this time frame. Rabobank Senior Agricultural Analyst Emma Higgins told Mike Hosking that China is still the biggest customer in the global dairy space, but it's no longer the only growth story. She says that new growth markets are emerging in places like the Middle East, and closer to home in Southeast Asia. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The Weekend Golf Guys, Tom and Jeff teamed up to remind golfers everywhere that your brain can wreck a round faster than a topped tee shot. They hammered home the idea that if you're not having fun out there, you're basically paying good money to be miserable — and that's just bad economics. Frustration, fear, and those wild expectations we all carry around? Yeah, those are the real swing killers.   Tom talked mindset, Jeff talked mechanics, and together they made one thing crystal clear: your setup and your patterns matter way more than whatever complicated nonsense you saw on YouTube at 2 a.m. Jeff even pulled out some wisdom from Dr. Bob Christina, explaining how your physical structure — the way you stand, balance, and move — shapes your swing more than any “try this one weird trick” tip ever will.   Then Jeff rolled out one of his classic lesson moves: he takes the golf ball away. Just removes it. Students freak out for a second, then suddenly start swinging like actual athletes instead of nervous wrecks trying not to embarrass themselves. No ball means no fear, no overthinking, no “don't shank this.” Just balance, motion, and a swing that finally makes sense.   Tom backed him up, pointing out that golfers don't need a dictionary of technical jargon. They need simple, practical stuff they can actually use — grip, stance, alignment, and a brain that isn't screaming at them. Keep it simple, and the swing gets better. Make it complicated, and the golfer gets worse. Every. Single. Time.   The show wrapped with Tom sharing how folks can reach him for instruction, and of course, we reminded everyone to subscribe, leave a review, and keep the game fun — because golf is hard enough without you turning it into a science project.

What if a stock went up over three years — and the fund designed to double its return still lost nearly half its value? That's not a hypothetical. It's happening right now, inside one of the fastest-growing product categories on Wall Street. On this episode of Creating Richer Lives, Karl Eggerss pulls back the curtain on leveraged single-stock ETFs — the 2x and 3x funds tied to individual stocks that have exploded past $30 billion in just four years. Who manufactures these products, and why are they so profitable to run? What's actually inside them?  Karl breaks down the daily reset, walks through volatility decay with math you can do in your head, and explains why these funds are structurally required to buy high and sell low — every single day, by design. Then he zooms out to the bigger question: with $170 billion now sitting in leveraged and inverse products, is this forced end-of-day rebalancing making the entire stock market more volatile for everyone, even investors who would never touch these funds? Whether you own one of these products, you've been tempted by one, or you just want to understand why the last hour of trading feels like a casino lately, this episode gives you the plain-English framework to see how the machinery really works. In this episode: What single-stock leveraged ETFs are and who creates them How fund issuers get paid (and why launches keep accelerating) Total return swaps and the daily reset, explained simply Volatility decay: the math that erodes returns in choppy markets How end-of-day rebalancing can amplify market-wide volatility The narrow cases where leverage tools have a legitimate use Five takeaways for evaluating any leveraged product

In today’s hypersexualized world, maintaining sexual purity feels like swimming upstream against a powerful cultural current. Billboards, streaming platforms, social media feeds, and even casual conversations bombard us with messages that normalize casual sex, objectification, and instant gratification. For Christians—especially singles navigating dating, married couples fighting for faithfulness, and young people growing up in this environment—the challenge is real. But Scripture offers hope and practical wisdom. Purity isn’t about rigid rules; it’s about freedom, honoring God with our bodies, and […] The post How to Keep Purity in a Hypersexualized World appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

Giant Mess podcast host. Neal Lynch is breaking down the turbulent and largely disappointing 2026 season for the New York Mets up to the All-Star Break. From a disastrous 10-21 start in April to a brief glimmer of hope in May, it has been a rough ride that culminated in a major collapse and the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza in June. We discuss the standout performances from rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing, plus Juan Soto carrying the offense and earning a starting nod in the 2026 All-Star Game. However, with a 40-57 record at the break, baffling mental errors on the basepaths, and Little League-level defense, the Mets have their worst halfway record since 2018. Join us as we explore the looming August 3 trade deadline and whether the front office will sell off pieces like Freddy Peralta, Luke Weaver, and impending free agents like Brooks Raley. We also cover the struggles and staggering strikeout rates of major additions like Bo Bichette, Steve Cohen's confidence in President of Baseball Operations David Stearns, and what the rest of this season holds for interim manager Andy Green.#mets #nymets #newyorkmets #mlb #baseball #carlosmendoza #juansoto #franciscolindor #mlbtradedeadline #mlbtraderumors #davidstearns #stevecohen #metsbaseball NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis - https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist Movie Reviews - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories -  https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Neal Lynch is the creator and host of Giant Mess, a podcast blending sports commentary, pop culture analysis, and storytelling.

This is the ultimate reality check for your daily commute!

Send us Fan MailMost teams push mini plans hard from October through March, then go silent the moment the season starts — right when they're creating new fans at every home game. In Episode 174, Jeremy Neisser makes the case that your warmest mini plan prospect is the fan driving home from tonight's game, not a cold name from last winter. He breaks down the psychology of selling to fans while the experience is still fresh, why teams stop even when they know better, and five tactics you can run this week to turn single-game buyers into repeat fans.KEY TOPICS COVERED• Why the fan who just attended is a qualified buyer — not a cold prospect — and how that erases the hardest part of the sale• The simple math that proves every home game produces a fresh list of mini plan prospects• The real reason fans buy mini plans (hint: it's not the sport) and how to sell to fresh emotion instead of faded memory• The ladder that moves a casual fan to a lifer: single game = acquisition, mini plans = habit formation, season tickets = loyalty• How to build packages from the games left on your schedule instead of waiting for a full season of inventory• Why in-season prospects are already warm — you have their email, phone, and attendance data right now• How selling mini plans in July feeds next year's season ticket pipeline before renewals even start• The organizational trap that quietly kills mini plan sales during the season — and the one-person fix for it• The commission problem that pushes reps toward big groups and away from mini plans• The 24-hour thank-you email that hits fans at their highest-value moment• The "two games in 30 days" CRM trigger that flags your warmest in-season leads• The limited-time ticket-credit offer that lowers the barrier to commit• Using a QR code on the video board to catch fans at peak enthusiasm• The post-game text that turns a first visit into a second oneTIMESTAMPS[00:00] — Jeremy spots the pattern: teams promote fireworks, giveaways, and bobbleheads front and center, but stop selling the one product built to create repeat buyers[00:56] — Why quitting mini plan sales in-season means walking past new fans you're creating at every home game[02:05] — Prospect vs. qualified buyer: the fundamental thing most teams miss about in-season selling[03:11] — The hottest lead in your database is the fan driving home from tonight's game[03:45] — Run the math on one game: 3,500 fans, 700 first-timers, 300 who had a great time — and why they should be on tomorrow's outreach[04:35] — The real reason in-season selling works, and it's not about tickets — it's fresh emotion[05:30] — Selling the day after asks fans to repeat what they felt; selling in October asks them to remember it[06:20] — You're not selling tickets, you're selling habits: how repeat attendance becomes a behavior pattern[07:00] — Mini plans as the bridge: acquisition to habit formation to loyalty, and walking fans up the ladder[07:44] — Five reasons in-season mini plan selling works[08:14] — Reason #1: Every home game is a lead-generation event — treat attendance as a list, not a number[08:43] — Reason #2: The remaining schedule is your inventory — package fireworks, rivalries, and flex nights intentionally[09:12] — Reason #3: Fans understand the value better after attending (the Chick-fil-A analogy)[09:41] — How the post-game follow-up feels like a reminder, not a sales pitch[10:08] — Reason #4: You already have their contact info — email, phone, and which games they attended[10:29] — Reason #5: In-season mini plans build next year's season ticket pipeline right now[10:58] — Why teams stop selling mini plans — and why it's not really their fault[11:25] — How game-day execution mode crowds out sales mode across the whole organization[12:19] — Mini plans disappear because nobody owns them anymore — not because nobody cares[12:46] — The commission problem: why reps chase $2,500 groups over $150 mini plans, and how marketing can help[13:15] — The fix: assign one person to own in-season mini plan selling and automate the outreach[13:45] — Tactic #1: The 24-hour thank-you email with a simple mini plan offer[14:11] — Tactic #2: The "two games in 30 days" trigger — flag repeat attendees as warm leads[15:10] — Why multi-game buyers are the warmest in-season list you can build[15:40] — Tactic #3: The limited-time ticket-credit offer that lowers the barrier to commit[16:10] — Tactic #4: A QR code on the video board to catch fans at peak enthusiasm[16:36] — Tactic #5: The post-game text to recent buyers the morning after[17:05] — This week's challenge: audit your CRM for one-game buyers nobody has personally contacted[18:04] — The main takeaway: acquisition, habit formation, loyalty — and why mini plans are the bridge[18:58] — Final reminder: the best time to sell the next ticket is while the experience is still freshCALL TO ACTIONIf you're building your second-half sales strategy, there's a lot more on this topic — reach out and Jeremy is happy to talk through how it could look as you export lists and work on selling more tickets in the back half of the year.

What does it really mean to receive the First Blessing? For many people, it's been described as becoming "perfect." But what if that's missing the point? In this episode, Andrew explores a different perspective: the First Blessing is about becoming someone who can handle life's challenges with wisdom, resilience, and emotional maturity. Rather than avoiding stress or pretending life is easy, it's about learning how to regulate yourself so that difficulty doesn't define you. Drawing from personal experiences with anxiety, burnout, and overwhelming seasons of life, Andrew explains how chronic stress affects the nervous system, why emotional regulation is a skill anyone can develop, and how caring for your spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being creates a stronger foundation for relationships, recovery, marriage, and family life. He also challenges the common belief that unhealthy coping habits bring peace, showing why lasting freedom comes from learning to process stress in healthy ways rather than escaping it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why the First Blessing is about more than "perfection" The connection between emotional regulation and the nervous system How chronic stress quietly affects everyday life Why anxiety, burnout, and addiction often have deeper roots Healthy ways to process stress instead of escaping it The role of daily spiritual disciplines in building resilience Why becoming a regulated person prepares us for marriage, family, and leadership Learning to regulate yourself isn't about becoming someone who never experiences stress. It's about becoming someone who can move through life's challenges with greater peace, wisdom, and hope.

Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with Richard Kind. Single-handedly redefining the term “character actor,” the accomplished Richard Kind is surely one of the hardest working people in show business. His resume is unfathomably wide and deep, with over 270 film and television credits, spanning roles that exploit his killer comedic timing, like sitcoms “Spin City” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and those that exercise his dramatic chops, like HBO’s “Luck” and the CBS procedural “East New York.” He’s an actor just as likely to appear in an Oscar-winning feature film as an animated one, to scene-steal a sketch comedy series as to star in an indie short. Kind is also a Tony-nominated stage actor, having appeared on Broadway in “The Producers,” “Funny Girl” and “The Big Knife,” among many others. Richard Kind speaks with host Alec Baldwin about the type of comedians that raised him, how he found his way to the profession after almost attending law school – and why he believes he is the “Costco of acting.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Denver’s rental market is telling two very different stories right now. Single-family homes are holding their rent levels year over year, but condos and older multifamily units are getting hit hard. Eric Ross of CRT Management walked through three Denver submarkets that show the split clearly, and the numbers are sobering for anyone holding condo or small multi inventory. Chris Lopez sits down with Eric, who manages 950 doors across the Denver metro and has spent 18 years in local property management. Eric pulled real Zillow data from Aurora North, the 225 and Chambers corridor, and the Wheat Ridge and Lakewood submarket. In one Aurora zip code, there are 48 single-family rentals available compared to 590 condo and multifamily units competing for the same tenants. One-bedroom rents in that pocket have dropped to $745 a month, levels he hasn’t seen in over a decade. Robinwood tells the story even more sharply. Two years ago, Eric was getting nearly $2,700 for a three-bedroom through the Housing Choice Voucher program. Today, those same units are renting closer to $1,895, pricing that takes the complex back to 2018 and 2019 levels. Eric also breaks down why Denver County logged 15,953 eviction filings in 2025, which is up roughly 72% from pre-pandemic levels, and what Colorado’s recent legislation around income requirements, credit checks, and habitability has done to landlord operations. In This Episode We Cover: Why single-family rents are holding while condos and older multi keep softening The Aurora submarket with 590 competing condo and multi listings How the Robinwood rent drop from $2,700 to $1,895 reflects the broader condo market Why HUD did a mid-year Fair Market Rent adjustment in late 2025 How the 2x rent income mandate is driving evictions higher Eviction timelines now running 50 to 90 days depending on notice type A risk mitigation partnership giving landlords up to $10,000 per tenancy in protection Eric also shares his outlook for mid-2027 rents and what he thinks needs to happen for the market to stabilize. Whether you own a single-family rental, a condo, or a small multi in the Denver metro, this conversation gives you the ground-level data you need to make smart decisions through the rest of this cycle.
