You Are Not Alone: How the Holy Spirit Guides Us – John 16In Episode 154 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through the Gospel of John with John 16, where Jesus prepares His disciples for what life will look like after He leaves—and gives them an incredible promise: the Holy Spirit is coming.Jesus tells His disciples that the Spirit of Truth will guide them, teach them, reveal truth, and point them back to Him. What feels like Jesus leaving is actually the beginning of something new: God's presence dwelling within His people.Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it practically means to be led by the Holy Spirit. How do we recognize His guidance? How do we distinguish His voice from our own thoughts, fears, and desires? And how can we trust His leading when we don't know what's coming next?John 16 also reminds us that following Jesus doesn't mean avoiding difficulty. Jesus tells His disciples plainly that trouble will come—but then gives them a promise we still desperately need today: “Take heart! I have overcome the world.”If you're facing a decision, walking through uncertainty, or simply longing to recognize God's voice more clearly, pull up a chair. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. The Holy Spirit is still guiding.Reflection Question: Where am I trying to figure everything out on my own instead of slowing down and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Every expert business owner has said some version of it: I want to build this, I am certain it is the right next thing, but right now is not the time. Tara names the belief behind that sentence, “I will build the scalable version of my business when I have the time to build it,” and takes it apart. The logic holds up. The premise underneath it does not, because bandwidth never comes from inside a Time Seller business. That model is built to consume every hour you free up, so waiting for time to build the thing that would create time guarantees the time never shows up. In this episode, Tara shares what waiting cost her own business, why the build has to be treated as infrastructure instead of a project for a better season, and how a set of shared email templates and a twelve-week cadence in her agency started the business existing beyond her time.

We're back after a very eventful Sharathon 2026 where with your help, we reached 101% of the goal. We had some memorable moments, especially bloopers, but the one that stood out the most was Carmen giving her pin number out over the airwaves.  Today is also a big day as we launch a new signal in Huntsville, Alabama! We spent some time sharing texts from the area as well as introducing Dave, Bill and Carmen to the new audience. Bill stopped us in our tracks momentarily to talk about...

Alex Snider thinks our constant rushing, and our obsession with being on time, may be costing us more than we realize. For Live Long, this goes to the heart of a bigger question: if longevity is about living well, not simply living longer, are we actually giving enough attention to the life happening now?Alex, author of Sometimes You Should Be Late, spent more than 15 years in high-pressure government roles before a cycling accident forced him to rethink urgency, productivity and what it means to be fully present.I was skeptical.  In this interview we challenge each other on punctuality, hard deadlines, wasted time, ambition and whether slowing down really helps us live better.We also discuss the classic Good Samaritan experiment, the physical cost of constant rushing, Alex's idea of “emotional punctuality,” and my own habit of leaving “white space” in the day.This is a conversation about choice: how we use our time, how we show up for other people, and whether living longer also means learning to live more fully now.--DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

In this episode of Wellbeing Within, I'm exploring what can happen when we finally give ourselves permission to slow down. Beneath the busy mind and the overthinking, there is often another layer waiting for our attention : our emotions. We'll look at how to gently check in with what you're feeling, notice where emotions are showing up in your body, and create space to acknowledge and process them rather than simply thinking your way through them. This is an invitation to pause, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what may be asking to be noticed.

Joy in the Resistance: Loving Jesus When the World Pushes Back – John 15:13–27In Episode 153 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 15:13–27, where Jesus moves from one of His greatest statements about love—“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends”—into a difficult truth about what it means to follow Him: not everyone will understand or accept you.Jesus calls His disciples friends, commands them to love one another, and reminds them that they have been chosen to bear lasting fruit. But He also prepares them for resistance, rejection, and persecution.So how do we hold onto joy, love, and faith when following Jesus becomes difficult?Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to love sacrificially without needing the approval of the world, how to remain rooted in Christ when your faith is challenged, and the role of the Holy Spirit—the Advocate—who empowers us to testify about Jesus.Following Christ doesn't guarantee an easy road. But Jesus never asks us to walk it alone.This conversation is an invitation to stay rooted in love, remain faithful under pressure, and choose joy even when following Jesus comes with a cost.Reflection Question: Can I remain joyful, loving, and faithful to Jesus even when following Him costs me the approval of others?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

What if slowing down is not something you earn after burnout, but a practice you can begin in seconds? In this episode, Rena and Dara welcome meditation teacher and retreat facilitator Carlos Diaz. His work combines meditation, mindfulness, conscious living, and personal transformation to help people slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with themselves. In their conversation, they explore how simple, consistent practices can bring the benefits of a calm nervous system into everyday life. They discuss why effort and consistency matter when building a sustainable wellness practice, how small choices can create more space for stillness, and how recognizing what adds or releases tension can support a more intentional way of living. Carlos also shares the deeply personal turning point that led him to self-love and meditation, clears up a common misconception about quieting the mind, and guides listeners through an accessible meditation practice. Tune in to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and discover how even a few intentional breaths can begin to shift your day!

If you're a creator struggling with constant content creation, creative burnout, AI, social media algorithms or the pressure to post consistently, this episode explores why posting less might actually help you make better work. I break down why I'm reducing my podcast output, how quantity helped me develop my creative skills, why that strategy no longer serves the same purpose and how I'm shifting toward deeper research, delayed gratification and long-term creative projects. I also explore AI and creativity, the value of handmade work, why difficult projects like Wildwood inspire me and how smaller productive tasks can sometimes become a form of procrastination from the bigger work that matters most.

Canada's Construction Boom Is Finally Slowing Down For the last few years, Canada has been building aggressively. More apartments. More condos. More purpose-built rentals. More infill. More density. But new Statistics Canada data suggests that construction intentions are finally beginning to slow. In July 2026, the total value of building permits issued across Canada fell 17.3% to $12.2 billion. Residential permits were also down, with multi-family projects accounting for most of the residential decline. For real estate investors, this matters because new supply has been one of the biggest forces affecting rents, vacancies and property values across the country. Today, Wayne and Gabby break down what the slowdown could mean, particularly for Edmonton and Alberta. Building Permits Are Falling Statistics Canada reported that the total value of building permits across Canada declined sharply in July. Residential permit values fell as well, including a significant decline in multi-family construction intentions. Alberta also experienced a meaningful monthly decline in total permit values. The important distinction: A permit is not a completed building. It represents an intention to build. A project may still be delayed, redesigned, refinanced or abandoned altogether. That means the rental supply already under construction is still coming. But fewer new projects entering the pipeline could eventually help the market rebalance. Edmonton Still Has a Lot of Supply Coming Wayne's concern is not that Edmonton suddenly stopped building. Far from it. There are still a significant number of purpose-built rental projects already under construction or far enough through the development process that they are likely to hit the rental market. Those buildings still need to be completed. Then they need tenants. The question is: How long will it take for Edmonton to absorb all of that new rental supply? Wayne believes it could take several years. Why Developers May Be Pulling Back Wayne discusses several reasons developers may be becoming more cautious. Financing costs have changed. Construction costs have increased. Rents have softened in some segments. Vacancy has increased. And developers now have to consider the large amount of competing inventory already coming onto the market. A project that looked great two years ago may look very different today. That becomes particularly important when a development was financed using construction or bridge financing and the permanent financing available at completion no longer produces the same numbers. Construction Costs Are Still Increasing Wayne and Gabby share a recent example from one of their own townhouse investments. Shortly after purchasing units in the complex, the condominium corporation received an updated roofing quote. The final cost came in approximately $90,000 higher than expected. The condo corporation responded by temporarily increasing condo fees rather than issuing a large special assessment. The lesson was not really about condo fees. It was about construction costs. If replacing shingles on a townhouse complex can suddenly cost substantially more than anticipated, developers working on multi-million-dollar projects are facing the same problem on a much larger scale. Edmonton May Have Overshot A few years ago, Edmonton had the opposite problem. Vacancy was extremely low. Rental supply was tight. Tenants were struggling to find housing. Rents were increasing quickly. Government and developers responded by creating and building more housing. Wayne and Gabby believe the market may now have moved too far in the opposite direction. The supply shortage was addressed. But construction kept coming. That creates a period where landlords may need to compete harder for tenants while the market absorbs the new units. Will Edmonton Rents Keep Falling? Wayne believes rents will continue softening in certain segments of the market. But he does not believe every rental property will be affected equally. The largest pressure may fall on property types facing the most new competition. That includes: Main-floor suites Basement suites Smaller infill units Purpose-built rental units competing for similar tenants There are simply more choices available to renters. Full Houses Could Be Different At the same time, Wayne sees a different opportunity developing in full-house rentals. If tenants search the market and see hundreds of smaller suites but very few full houses with basements, garages and yards, demand can shift toward the scarcer product. That is an important distinction. Saying: "Edmonton rents are falling" is too broad. The better question is: Which rents are falling? Different asset classes can behave completely differently inside the same city. The Supply and Demand Lesson This is ultimately a supply-and-demand story. When rental supply is too low, rents increase. Developers react. Governments react. Construction increases. Eventually supply catches up. Then supply can exceed short-term demand. Vacancy rises. Rents soften. Developers become more cautious. Construction slows. Eventually the market moves toward balance again. The cycle continues. Real estate investors need to understand where they are inside that cycle. Is the Construction Boom Finally Slowing? During today's rapid-fire Q&A, Gabby asks Wayne directly: Is the new construction boom finally slowing down? Wayne's answer: Yes. But the bigger uncertainty is how long the effects will take to work through the market. Hundreds of millions of dollars of projects are already permitted or underway. Some will finish. Some may not. And the impact on rents and vacancies will take time to become clear. How Long Could Edmonton Take to Absorb the Supply? Wayne estimates that Edmonton could take approximately five to six years to fully absorb the current wave of purpose-built rental supply and return to the type of vacancy environment he considers more balanced. That is Wayne's estimate, not an official forecast. The timeline could change significantly depending on: Population growth Migration New construction Project cancellations Interest rates Employment growth Rental demand Why Cash Flow Matters More Than Ever The episode closes with a listener asking how much cash flow a rental property should have. Wayne points back to the 5% Rule™. The reason he focuses so heavily on cash flow is not because he views it as spending money. He views cash flow as protection. If rent falls by $200 but the property was producing $500 per month, the investor still has room. If the property was only producing $100, that same rent decline pushes it negative. Multiply that across a large portfolio and small differences become significant. Cash Flow Is a Risk Mitigator Wayne describes cash flow as the ultimate risk mitigator. It protects investors against: Lower rents Higher vacancy Higher interest rates Unexpected repairs Rising operating expenses Market downturns Investors cannot control all of those variables. But they can control how much margin they build into the property when they buy it. What About Fort McMurray? A listener also asks about Fort McMurray. Wayne says he has heard positive things recently about rental demand in the market. However, he remains cautious because Fort McMurray has historically been a more cyclical, boom-and-bust market. For Wayne, predictability matters. He prefers markets where he feels more confident about long-term tenant demand and the sustainability of the rental business.

“These small practices can make you mindful and make your mind recharged. And I think that's what retreat is. To really slow down and just be within yourself.” What happens when we step away from everyday life and create space to truly practice the inner, still and silent, yoga? In today's conversation, I speak with yoga teacher and retreat leader Himangee Raviya about yoga retreats, sadhana, meditation, and the deeper meaning of yoga.Himangee shares how yoga became a constant in her life, how she came to lead retreats across India, and why a retreat can offer a powerful container for going deeper into practice. We explore  Raja Yoga and Bhakti YogaThe relationship between asana and meditationThe role of nature and setting in retreatWhy real yoga practice continues even when we return to everyday lifeHimangee also shares simple ways to create your own retreat at home, including morning journaling, breath awareness, yoga, nourishing food, yoga nidra and intentional time alone.For yoga teachers, she offers advice on starting a retreat with a small group of students and shares what she has learned in her own retreats.I loved this conversation about slowing down, coming home to yourself, deepening your sadhana and discovering that retreat can be a practice, not just a destination. Find Himangee on Instagram: @HimangeeAnd if you're still considering, we have two rooms remaining for our Yog Sadhana Retreat Sri Lanka, February 1-8 2027.

The internet and social media were aghast over the weekend as Anthropic founder and CEO Dario Amodei penned a “Jerry Maguire” screed about the AI labs “slowing down” due to the risks of “losing control” and giving way to “bioterrorism” and “serious economic disruption” … Other AI lab heads from Sam Altman to Elon Musk chimed in with agreement. You may read his letter as a call for prudent, selfless moderation, or you may read his call as rent-seeking, cronyist, "pull the ladder up" corporatism at its worst. Today, we will unpack it all.Show Notes:Dario Amodei's LetterDavid Sacks' Response Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Thyroid health in menopause can be the missing piece behind the fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, and “why isn't my old routine working anymore?” frustration so many women experience after 40. Is it menopause, your thyroid, stress, or a combination of all three? In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky breaks down the difference between hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's, and Graves' disease—and why your symptoms may deserve a closer look. You'll learn why TSH alone may not tell the whole story, how hormones and everyday exposures can affect thyroid function, and what testing, nutrition, and lifestyle changes may help. If you're navigating thyroid health in menopause, this conversation will help you connect the dots and take a smarter next step. My Guest: Dr. Eric Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and a certified functional medicine practitioner who has been helping people with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's since 2009. He is the author of the books "Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease", "The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet", and "Hashimoto's Triggers", and is the host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. Dr. Osansky was personally diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to restore his health through a natural approach, and since then has helped other reverse their hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's condition through his SAVED Thyroid framework. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:38] Why is thyroid function so important for metabolism and overall health? [00:06:19] What made you focus on thyroid health—and what can your Graves' disease journey teach us? [00:09:00] What are the myths and truths about thyroid dysfunction?  [00:20:55] Why do thyroid issues seem more common during midlife and menopause?  [00:23:50] What everyday habits and exposures may contribute to thyroid dysfunction?  [00:33:36] Can thyroid function improve with lifestyle changes—even after starting medication?

Josh Allen is gonna be tough.

More growth is not always the answer.If your systems are breaking, customers are leaving, and your team is burning out, adding even more volume can turn manageable problems into major ones.Sometimes the smartest growth decision is temporarily choosing not to grow.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why entrepreneurs need to recognize when their business requires a strategic retreat and how temporarily slowing expansion can create the foundation for a much stronger next stage.Momentum is powerful.But momentum pointed at a broken system only gets you to the problem faster.In this episode, you'll learn:• How to recognize when growth is exposing operational weaknesses• Why short-term revenue may need to take a back seat to long-term stability• How pausing expansion can create time to repair broken systems• Why stronger infrastructure creates greater leverage during the next growth phaseThe truth is simple:You cannot scale problems away.Eventually, you have to fix them.Pause when necessary.Repair the foundation.Retrain the team.Strengthen the systems.Then return to growth with a business capable of handling what comes next.Sometimes one intentional step backward is what gives you the ability to move ten steps forward.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

Is your team's biggest problem actually a hiring problem? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy breaks down a piece of simple math that explains why bigger teams almost always move slower, not faster, even when everyone on them is talented and hardworking. He traces the idea to Jeff Bezos's famous rule for keeping teams small at Amazon, then shows exactly how many hidden relationships get created every time you add just one more person to a group. Darren hands you five practical shifts for keeping decisions fast as you grow, and a pointed question to ask before your next hire that most leaders never think to ask. Sometimes the smartest move for your company's speed is the one that feels completely backwards. Secure your seat for Darren's 2027 AI Growth Blueprint event at http://ai.darrenhardy.com/.

Stay Connected: The Vine, the Branches & the Purpose of Pruning – John 15:1–12In Episode 151 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into one of Jesus' most powerful pictures of our relationship with Him: “I am the vine; you are the branches.”In John 15:1–12, Jesus teaches that a fruitful life doesn't come from striving harder—it comes from abiding deeper. But He also introduces something most of us would rather avoid: pruning.Together, Jamie and Jane explore why God prunes even the branches that are already producing fruit, how seasons of cutting back can actually prepare us for greater growth, and what it practically looks like to remain connected to Jesus when life feels uncomfortable or uncertain.What if the thing God is removing isn't punishment? What if it's preparation?Jesus' invitation is simple: Remain in Me. Because apart from Him we can do nothing, but connected to the Vine, our lives can produce the kind of lasting fruit God created us to bear.And at the center of it all is love—remaining in His love and learning to love others as He has loved us.Reflection Question: What if the thing I've been asking God to restore is actually something He's pruning so I can grow?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Tanarra Schneider, founder of Rebel 75, for a conversation about building healthier, more human workplace cultures in the age of AI. Tanarra's path here wasn't linear, she led design at Fjord and Accenture, helped shape culture at Activision Blizzard, built one of the first streaming cooking school platforms, and even detoured through culinary school. She traces her drive to push back on broken systems to her mother, who always stood up for other people, and to her own instincts as a risk-taker who has never fit neatly into one box. She and Tammy dig into the sharp difference between a "chaos monster," who knocks things over out of ego, and a true rebel, who acts from a broader sense of "we." That same distinction shapes her read on AI's arrival in the workplace, which she sees as having been inserted squarely in the middle of human relationships, quietly replacing the context and conversation that used to happen between people. She makes the case that organizations need to slow down for the right reasons, not just to cut costs, if they want to rebuild trust, and that service design has become the discipline this moment badly needs.
