We've all experienced times when we feel like we're in the center of a storm that is completely outside of our control. (If you haven't yet, chances are you will.)We wish the storm would end. We wonder when it will end. We may ask if it will ever end. But perhaps the better question is, “Who am I becoming while I'm in the midst of the storm?”That is where the story of Captain Joshua Slocum comes in. In 1895, he set out alone to sail around the world in a boat measuring just under 37 feet long. With no GPS, no satellite weather system, no communication and no support crew, he left with only his boat, his experience, his judgment and his ability to respond to whatever happened next.More than three years and approximately 46,000 miles later, he became the first person known to circumnavigate the globe alone by sail.Slocum survived storms, 3 years of isolation (think about that), dangerous seas and the uncertainty of survival that surely dominated his thoughts. Through all of it, he developed the character, competence and resourcefulness necessary to navigate successfully through the obstacles.That is where our story of survival can become like his.Every one of us will eventually find ourselves in circumstances we cannot control. Some may be the result of our own choices, and others that we would never have chosen may be thrust upon us.We will face disappointment, detours, setbacks, uncertainty, opposition, loss, grief and seasons when our best efforts seem to produce very little progress.The question is not whether we will encounter storms We will. The question is whether we will become better navigators of the storms of life.Here are 10 lessons from Captain Joshua Slocum's extraordinary journey that can help all of us navigate our own.1. Start With What We HaveSlocum did not begin with a perfect boat. The Spray was an old vessel that required extensive rebuilding before it could carry him around the world. He worked on what he had until it became capable of taking him where he wanted to go.That is a powerful lesson because many of us postpone finding and fulfilling our purpose while waiting for conditions to improve. We tell ourselves that we will begin when we have more money, more education, more confidence, more support, more time or better connections.Meanwhile, years pass.Most meaningful things do not begin under perfect conditions. Purposeful goals begin when we look at what we already have and decide to use it well.We may not have everything we want, but we probably have more than we realize. We have experience, relationships, abilities, the wisdom of lessons learned, access to information, and the capacity to work.Never underestimate all of the assets you already have—character and personality traits, intelligence, determination, courage, resilience, resourcefulness, and all the other good that's already in you. Start there.2. Preparation Creates CourageSlocum was not courageous because he believed the ocean was safe. He knew exactly how dangerous it could be. His confidence came from his knowledge and experience.There is an important difference between courage and recklessness. Recklessness assumes everything will work out. Courage prepares for the possibility that it might not.We sometimes admire people who appear fearless, but authentic confidence comes from preparation. When we practice, study, plan and develop competence, we do not need circumstances to be easy because we did the work necessary to increase our ability to handle difficulty.That applies to almost everything in life. If we want greater responsibility, we need to prepare for it. If we want to lead, we need to become better leaders. If we want financial stability, we need to learn to manage money. If we want healthier relationships, we need to develop healthier listening and communication skills. If we want to pursue an opportunity, we need to develop the skills the opportunity will require.For those of us who have lofty goals, it's important to become capable of achieving them.3. Change the Route, Not the DestinationSlocum originally planned a route that would have taken him through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. When conditions made that route too dangerous, he changed course.He did not abandon the goal. He changed the way he intended to reach it. Understanding that principle can save us unnecessary frustration.It's possible to become so attached to our plan that we conflate the plan with our purpose. When that's the case, if things go wrong, we can too easily draw wrong conclusions, and believe that the whole endeavor was a mistake. If we keep the plan separate from our purpose, we will have the ability to make adjustments to the plan and still pursue our purpose.The job may change while the career remains. The business model may change while the mission remains. A relationship may require a different approach. The timeline may be longer than expected. The opportunity may come through a door we hadn't considered.Changing our strategy for implementing the goal is far better than quitting.It's important that we know the difference between our perseverance and our stubbornness. We can stay committed to the purpose and still remain flexible about the route.4. Patience Is StrengthThere were times during Slocum's voyage when he fought wind and current all day and made very little progress. Imagine working from morning until night and discovering that you had moved only a few miles closer to the destination… or maybe even further away from your destination.Most of us know that feeling. We work hard at something. We make responsible decisions. We keep showing up. And still, we see no measurable progress. It is tempting think that we've made a mistake—maybe the biggest mistake of our life.But delayed progress is still progress.Some of the most important things in life cannot be rushed. Healing, trust, character building, nurturing healthy relationships take time. Building anything worthwhile usually takes longer than we would like it to.Patience does not mean sitting still and doing nothing. Patience means continuing to do the right thing without giving up when the results don't happen according to our timetable.Patience means refusing to quit.5. Control What We CanSlocum could not control the wind, the waves, the currents or the weather. He could control his sails, his decisions, his preparation and his response.That may be one of the most useful principles for living with peace.We waste enormous amounts of emotional energy trying to control things that aren't ours to control. We wish we could control other people's decisions, opinions, behavior and reactions. We want certainty about the future. We wish the past had been different.None of those things are fully within our control.What is within our control are our choices, our words, our actions, our attitude, our integrity and our response to every situation we face.There is incredible peace and freedom in accepting this truth. We can do what is ours to do. The sooner we learn to release what is not ours to control, the more peaceful and joyful we will be.6. Resourcefulness Is More Valuable Than ResourcesWhen something breaks in the middle of the ocean, there is no repair shop around the corner.When something in our life breaks and we cannot fix it, we can improvise, adapt, get creative and figure it out, or learn how to live without it.Slocum's voyage is filled with examples of solving problems with what little was available to him at the time.Resourcefulness may be one of the most underrated predictors of success.People who have always had abundant resources can struggle when those resources disappear. On the other hand, people who have had to solve problems, stretch limited resources and find work-arounds tend to develop an extraordinary ability to adapt.The resourceful person says, “We may not know the answer yet, but we will find one.” “We may not have exactly what we need, but let's begin with what we have.” “This is difficult, but not impossible.” “If it was easy, everyone would do it.”Some of the circumstances we would never choose develop in us character traits and skills we may need in the future.7. Learn to Lead OurselvesSlocum had no crew to motivate him, monitor him or make decisions for him. If something needed to be done, he had to recognize it and do it.That required self leadership.Before we can lead anyone else well, we have to learn to lead ourselves, which involves regulating our emotions and controlling our responses.We must determine to keep our commitments. We must be willing to work hard without recognition. We must manage our emotions rather than allowing our emotions to manage us. We must be able to make tough decisions when lesser options would be easier.Character is developed in private long before it is recognized in public.The ability to lead ourselves may ultimately determine how much responsibility we will be trusted to carry.8. Keep Our Sense of HumorOne of the most appealing things about Slocum's story is his sense of humor. He encountered legitimate danger and serious setbacks, yet he did not allow hardship to become his identity or distort his perspective.Humor is an important aspect of the character trait of resilience.Humor does not mean pretending something is not difficult. It means refusing to allow the problem to become our only focus.Sometimes we make hard situations even harder by giving every frustration enormous emotional weight. A small setback becomes a catastrophe. An inconvenience ruins the day. A mistake becomes evidence that everything is falling apart. It's commonly called “catastrophizing,” and that can steal your peace and kill your joy.Sometimes the healthiest response is to acknowledge disappointment, keep the situation in perspective, find something to laugh about if we can, make any necessary adjustments and keep going.Laughter can be an act of faith that everything is going to work out some how, some way. It reminds us that the difficulty is real, but it is not everything.9. Let the Difficulty Teach UsAfter completing his voyage, Slocum reflected that he had learned a lot despite already being a highly experienced sailor.Lessons learned by going through may be one of the greatest gifts hidden inside tough situations.Painful experiences can teach us things comfortable seasons cannot. We learn discernment because someone deceived us. We learn boundaries because we were mistreated after failing to establish them. We learn financial discipline when money becomes scarce. We learn courage when we face a frightening situation. We learn compassion through suffering. We learn resilience when quitting is not an option.Hardship does not automatically make us wiser. Some people become bitter. Some repeat the same mistakes indefinitely. But others mine the lessons out of difficulties and becomes wiser because of them.Wisdom comes when we ask, “What is this teaching me?”Resilience is earned by surviving. Wisdom is earned by seeing difficulties as opportunities to learn and grow. Growth is earned by becoming better as a result of what you've gone through.That is how wounds become wisdom.10. Purpose Can Give Us EnergyOne of the remarkable details of Slocum's journey is that after more than three years at sea, he reportedly returned looking remarkably well, not haggard and exhausted as many people expected.That should make us reconsider the assumption that difficulty always harms us. Sometimes it does. But sometimes what hurts most is suffering without finding the meaning in it.Purpose changes our perspective of difficulty.When we know why something matters, we can endure extraordinary discomfort. Parents do it for their children. Entrepreneurs do it to build something they believe in. Caregivers do it for people they love. People working toward a calling often endure inconveniences they would never tolerate for something meaningless.Purpose does not remove exhaustion, it gives it a reason.There is tremendous energy in knowing, “This matters. Someone will be helped by this. Good can come from this. We are doing something meaningful.”A difficult life is not necessarily an unhappy life. And an easy life is not necessarily a meaningful one.Purposeful Practice: What Kind of Sailors Are We Becoming?It helps to think about the area of our lives right now that feels most like rough water. It may be a relationship, a financial concern, a health issue, a business challenge, a disappointment, an unanswered prayer or simply uncertainty about what comes next.Instead of asking only when the situation will change, we can try to discern what this season is developing in us. Ask yourself these six questions:* What do I already have that I can use to navigate through this situation?* What can I learn from this?* Where would better preparation help?* Is there a route that should be changed while the destination remains the same?* What am I trying to control that is not mine to control?* What skill, strength, character trait, or wisdom could this experience be developing in me?After you've answered these questions for yourself, it will be easier to identify actions that you can take to continue towards your purpose.We do not need to know exactly what the next day will bring. Joshua Slocum could not know every danger that lay between him and home when he began his journey. He simply had to become capable of navigating the water in front of him.Let's not spend our lives wishing for calmer seas. Let's become people who can sail through rough ones. Because sometimes God does calm the storm.Sometimes He teaches us how to sail.“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 This is a public episode.

Send us Fan MailWe all want students to participate. We want them to raise their hands, share their ideas, react, ask questions, and bring that energy that makes a classroom feel alive.But what happens when they don't?It is easy to assume that the activity is not working, that students are not motivated, or even that we are doing something wrong.In this special 200th episode of Growing With Proficiency: The Podcast, I sit down with Justin Slocum Bailey to explore another possibility:Maybe the activity is not the problem. Maybe we need to get the stakes right.As you prepare to go back to school, this conversation will help you think more intentionally about the questions you ask, the topics you choose, and the different ways students can participate without feeling pressured or put on the spot.Justin shares how we can create participation that feels meaningful enough to be worth the effort—but safe enough for students to take the risk.✨ TakeawaysWhat it means when the stakes for participation are too high or too lowWhy an activity may fall flat even when it is a great activityHow information gaps and opinion questions can make communication more meaningfulWhy some personal questions may feel too risky for studentsHow to create distance from sensitive topics without removing authentic communicationSimple ways students can participate without immediately speaking in front of the classWhy grading every interaction may increase pressure instead of participationWhy curiosity is more helpful than blaming the activity, the student, or yourselfThis episode is an invitation to pause before searching for another activity and ask:Are the stakes too high, too low, or just right for my students?

Josh Slocum is back after almost 4 years of pushing back against this culture war. We talk about the madness becoming mainstream, cluster B psychology, the external locus of control, happiness in Canada, Alberta separation, media influence, reversal of reality, the climate thing, Trump and Carney and civil war.   In the second half we chat about American exceptionalism, the AWFUL's, these bitches, solutions, sex typical hard wire, sports, Tate on PBD, man hating, what they will say in the future, election fraud, hard realities, EU collapse, and cultural fatigue on this rise.   Mommy has been running the show, Dad hasn't come home for 60 years. Illuminating the abnormal psychology that's become the new normal.   We are in an abusive relationship with our government, our media, and increasingly, ourselves. Today's activists use the same tools as abusive families. They keep us in fear while we wonder if we've lost our minds. It's not a passing fashion and its not well-meaning misguided activism. It's abuse dynamics. Pathological narcissism, indiscriminate rage, and tactical emotional break-downs by bullies who claim that they are the victims. Domestic abuse has gone public, and feral.

How Authentic Ratings and Reviews Drive Customer Trust  Shep interviews Allyse Slocum, Vice President of Product & Audience Marketing at Trustpilot. She talks about how customer reviews influence trust in businesses, the importance of authentic feedback, and key insights on consumer review habits and behaviors.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    Why are online reviews crucial for building trust between companies and customers?  How can businesses ensure the authenticity of customer reviews in the age of AI-generated content?  What is considered a credible rating on a 1 to 5-star review scale, and how can companies identify trustworthy feedback?  Is it realistic for businesses to achieve perfect 5-star ratings from every customer, or does this raise concerns about review authenticity?  What are the best practices for companies when responding to customer ratings and reviews, whether positive or negative?  Top Takeaways:   Trust is the foundation of every successful relationship, whether between a company and a customer, an employer and an employee, or between two businesses. Customers are loyal to brands that keep their promises and deliver what they advertise.   Building and protecting trust should be just as important as selling products or services. When a customer's trust is broken, even good customer service can't fix it.    Reviews are like the digital version of asking friends for advice. Before making a purchase, 39% of shoppers read product reviews to decide if something is worth buying. Customers often check reviews multiple times and look for feedback from others before spending money.  Not every review online is real, and many customers worry about fake reviews, both negative ones from competitors and positive ones meant to make a business look better. Technology is getting better and better at identifying and removing fake reviews. Additionally, content integrity specialists make sure that the technology is working and find patterns to detect fake reviews.  Trust can still be earned after a negative review. When a business openly responds to its reviewers, especially those who had a bad experience, it shows they care. A company that replies thoughtfully, tries to fix problems, and says thank you for kind words earns more trust from customers and future shoppers.  The number of reviews and how recent they are play a big role in building trust. Fresh reviews mean that a business is active, while old reviews might make customers wonder whether things have changed.  Customers are more likely to leave a review after a positive experience (56%) than a negative one (38%).   Automating review requests helps collect opinions from all types of customers, not just the ones with extreme feelings. Asking for reviews automatically at key points (such as after a purchase or service) makes it easier to get more feedback. The more feedback you have, the more your ratings reflect the real experience customers have.   Quote:   "Trust is an incredibly important thing that needs to happen between any two parties, whether that is business to consumer, business to business, or even employers and employees."  About:    Allyse Slocum is the Vice President of Product & Audience Marketing at Trustpilot, where she specializes in building trust between consumers and businesses through reviews. She is dedicated to using data and technology to ensure the authenticity of reviews, helping businesses improve and maintain customer trust.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Option Alpha podcast, Kirk sits down with his business partner and fellow founder, Jack Slocum, to share the full story behind Jack's journey as a trader, developer, and entrepreneur. Jack talks about how he first turned to options trading to generate extra income for his family, how his early experiences “crashed and burned,” and why he has spent years since then learning as much as possible about markets and risk. Tune in now! How Jack First Got Into Options Trading:Jack says his options journey started as a father looking to make extra income to support his family.From Tech Builder to Trading:Before options, Jack's primary background was in technology and building companies.He created a JavaScript framework originally called EXTJS, later part of Sencha, which allowed developers to build full web applications in the browser.The framework became widely adopted, with usage by 8 out of the top 10 financial institutions and over 70% of Fortune 500 companies.Jack emphasizes that the community was the strength of that project: developers shared what they were building and provided the core toolkit with their own “extensions.”Faith, Mindset, and Staying Inspired Through Drawdowns:He credits his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for his determination, passion, and success.He says this gives him a resilient state he can tap into no matter what is happening.Kirk shares a mindset he learned from Jack: instead of saying “we can't,” ask “how could we?”Jack connects this to his belief that all things are possible for someone who believes.He says reframing problems this way opens the door to solutions instead of shutting them down.Key Trading Principles Jack Follows Now:Jack says the most important principle is never to enter a trade unless you are willing to take the maximum loss.In the past, he entered trades assuming he could always get out before max loss, which led to huge losses.He rarely uses stop losses as a guarantee because during big moves, spreads widen, and fills can be much worse than planned.An example of his opening range breakout bot, which sometimes risks $925 to make $75 and makes him uneasy.He prefers to run a mix of strategies, including both higher-probability, smaller payoff setups and lower-probability, larger-payoff setups.Jack says every trade should have a clear, logical reason behind it, and not be fear based.Using His Own Platform to Design the Future of Automation:At his old company, he would build a real app with new features before a release to find issues.Now, he trades daily on Option Alpha and uses that experience to see what needs to be added or improved.Watch the full interview here

In the piney woods of East Texas in 1910, a mob of white men stormed through the Black community of Slocum, murdering dozens — possibly hundreds — of unarmed residents. The killers faced almost no consequences, and the survivors were silenced by fear. Over a century later, even basic recognition of the Slocum Massacre remains a battle. This is the story of the slaughter Texas tried to forget, and the people still fighting to be remembered.

Though we've long been huge fans of single-case research designs—what behavior analyst isn't?—and hold peer-reviewed research papers as one of our favorite genres of non-fiction, is it possible that not every research paper is…on the level? Sadly, for many coplex reasons, not every research paper you read is without risk for following questionable research practices. To help our field put a stop to this, Dr. Matthew Tincani has some ideas on how we can do better by looking at a number of open science practices. This week, Dr. Tincani called out the best and brightest to has out what needs to be fixed (and how we can do it) and is ready to share what might be next for identifying (and stopping) questionable research practices.

June 11, 2025 Summer Series - Bengy Slocum - Be Compassionate by Buford Church of Christ

Rachel Slocum is back! This one's pure chaos in the best way. We talk about how busy and beautiful life has gotten, especially for two people who came from the wreckage of addiction. From wild rock bottom moments to raw laughs and real growth, this episode brings it all.

One department store. Two opinions. Endless awkward laughs.In this episode of TV Tortured, Jacob and Laura brave the polyester jungle of Are You Being Served?, the British sitcom that asks, “What if your coworkers were walking punchlines with questionable sexual tension?” Focusing on the episode “German Week,” they unravel the glorious mess of cultural misunderstandings, suggestive gags, and the passive-aggressive power plays between Mr. Peacock and Mrs. Slocum. Laura's fully onboard the Grace Brothers train (and possibly driving it), while Jacob wonders if it's time to derail. They debate whether retail ever looked this ridiculous, rate the theme song like it's Eurovision, and ultimately agree: this show is a chaotic gem that America could never quite copy. Tune in for nostalgia, nitpicks, and one very British deep dive.Checkout the new Hopecast website:https://thehopecastnetwork.com/Buy Merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-hopecast-network-swag/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/
