If your brain's been buzzing and your peace has peaced out… this one's for you.TakeawaysYour head brain is the logic and vision center—but fear can hijack it.Fear often shows up as fight (control), flight (overthinking), or freeze (shutdown).Martha tried to control dinner and missed the moment with Jesus.Gideon needed sign after sign—proof before progress.Elijah called fire from heaven, then collapsed in a cave from fear.Business overthinking shows up as endless planning and delayed launches.Freeze can look like procrastination or ghosting opportunities.Truth shift: Clarity comes after courageous action, not before.God's design includes sound thinking and Spirit-led movement.You can interrupt your fear loop and step into peace, one small move at a time.Sound Bites"Clarity doesn't create courage.

Wake Up to Your True Self   What if the biggest myth of self-improvement is that something about you is broken? In this episode of Richer Soul, we reconnect with spiritual guide and author Don Joseph Goewey, who shares powerful insights from the timeless work of Anthony De Mello — a man whose teachings remain profoundly relevant in our chaotic modern world. Don returns with an exciting update: a beautifully crafted awareness deck designed to distill De Mello's wisdom into bite-sized, transformative prompts. This episode is a wake-up call — not to become someone else, but to awaken to the magnificence of who you already are.   Key Takeaways:  “You Are Not Broken” – De Mello's radical message flips the script on self-help. There's nothing wrong with you — only layers of illusion to peel away. Soundbites of Spirituality – Don shares how Anthony De Mello mastered impactful, tweet-sized wisdom decades before social media existed. Awareness Over Achievement – True transformation doesn't come from fixing but from seeing — becoming conscious of your inner narratives and breaking free. Legacy of Light – Don discusses how the DeMello Spirituality Center is digitizing and revitalizing Anthony's archives, bringing life-changing messages to a new generation.   Money Learnings: While this episode is less focused on finance, it tackles one of the greatest blocks to wealth: internal misalignment. If you believe you're broken, you'll sabotage wealth, relationships, and joy. De Mello's teachings can shift your mindset from scarcity to sufficiency — a necessary precursor to financial freedom.   About Don Joseph Goewey: Don is the Executive Director of the Center for Spiritual Exchange, which manages Anthony De Mello's archives. His work spans neuroscience, spiritual psychology, and leading psycho-spiritual approaches to trauma. Don has served in high-stress environments — from refugee camps to hospital wards — helping people reclaim inner peace.

Michael Tubbs is a trailblazing leader who made history as Stockton, California’s youngest and first Black mayor. Renowned for his bold approach to public policy and his pivotal role championing universal basic income, Michael rose from humble beginnings—shaped by poverty, an incarcerated father, and personal tragedies—to become a national voice for change and equity in American cities. A Stanford graduate, Tubbs has transformed adversity into action, focusing on making stories like his less rare by reshaping government to serve everyone and igniting opportunity in underserved communities. Today, he continues his mission running for California’s lieutenant governor and leading initiatives to end poverty and drive policy innovation nationwide. Takeaways: Grassroots Change Starts Local: Michael emphasizes that impactful change often begins at the local level, where community members can partner with government and step into leadership roles without years of experience—just a willingness to listen, learn, and serve. Adversity Can Drive Purpose: Tubbs’ journey from growing up with significant challenges in Stockton to leading his hometown is a testament to the power of channeling personal hardship into a broader mission of service, showing that lived experience, combined with competence and discipline, fuels meaningful leadership. Innovation and Policy Are Accessible: Michael dispels the myth that policy innovation is limited to experts—encouraging young leaders and business owners to engage with their local governments, uncover opportunities like government contracts or community collaborations, and believe that anyone invested can make a difference. Sound Bites: “If you have a heart to serve, a willingness to listen and to read, you are above 99% of folks in local office and you should be a part of the ecosystem. You don't just have to complain. You could do something about it.” – Michael Tubbs “People were finally coming to look to us for solutions and not just for problems.” – Michael Tubbs “Passion without competence is irrelevant.

"Certainly, I've been anxious about data...I did an experiment, I put a lot of time into it, I'm hoping to get good results...we all know that feeling, right? The stakes are just so different here...this kid's life depends on whether this experiment worked." --Kiran Musunuru, MD, PhD One of the highlights of the ASGCT 28th Annual Meeting was the announcement on May 15 of a historic medical breakthrough: a child diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder had been successfully treated for the first time with a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy. The infant, KJ Muldoon, was born with a rare metabolic disease called severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency. When he was just six months old, KJ received his personalized therapy at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where ASGCT Members Kiran Musunuru, MD, PhD; and Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, MD, PhD; led the group of researchers who developed KJ's treatment. KJ is now growing and thriving. He recently left the hospital where he has spent the majority of his life. And the day after presenting the research that led to this first-of-its-kind development, Dr. Musunuru told us that there was so much more to the story.

In this jam-packed episode of Bleav in Celtics, host Courtney Tate breaks down all the biggest offseason developments in Celtics Nation. We open with a major health update on Jaylen Brown, who underwent successful knee surgery. Courtney explores the timeline of his recovery and what it means for Boston's offseason plans. Fans have been concerned, but Jaylen's own cryptic post-surgery selfie hints at an already motivated bounce-back — and we're showing the image on screen for the video version. Next, we pivot to head coach Joe Mazzulla, who's made headlines for his surprise scouting trip to the Euroleague Final Four. What does it mean? Is Boston eyeing European prospects? Courtney unpacks the implications of this overseas venture — whether it's about expanding the staff, player development, or potential hidden gems in the draft pool. Then, things heat up as we dive into the offseason trade rumor mill. Courtney lays out realistic options the Celtics might pursue, especially with nearly every player “on the chopping block — except Tatum.” Soundbites from Joe Mazzulla's recent presser emphasize the team's “no guarantees” mentality. After that, Courtney gets into fan reactions — from worries about Al Horford's future, to praise for Aaron Nesmith's Finals run with the Pacers, to whether Celtics ownership transition could impact roster-building. And of course, we can't close without a HOT TAKE: “The Celtics should strongly consider moving Derrick White — if it means upgrading with size and rebounding.” Courtney brings receipts and context to defend the take — it's controversial, but grounded. The episode closes with a tease for next week, which promises coverage of the upcoming NBA Draft, more on Kristaps Porziņģis' recovery, and trade buzz heating up league-wide.

It's Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint and my guest today is Nathan Miller, founder and CEO of Miller Ink. and he's also a seasoned communication strategist with deep experience in business, government, diplomacy, crisis management and issue advocacy. Nathan, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me, Steve. It's great to be here. Well, it's good to have you. And I've got some questions I'm really curious about that I want to ask you. And starting with my favorite one, what is your personal “Why” and what are you doing to manifest it in your business? My personal “Why” really is a couple of things. One, our business makes a huge impact for a lot of people and to feel that impact every day is tremendous and it gives me a lot of satisfaction and pride. The people who work for Miller Ink., the people who work here and launched their careers through this company, our clients, every day you get to be in rooms with people who are solving problems, addressing challenges, navigating different challenges, and helping them get to a better place is incredibly gratifying. You want to be somebody who's of service in that way. We do a lot of advocacy and mission-driven work as well as an agency. I've done a lot of work on behalf of the Jewish community and the State of Israel, which has also been very meaningful. And for me, the most important personal “Why” is I have three kids and so much of what I do is really for them. And that is really one of my big North Stars in life. Yeah, well, lots of meaningful stuff in your life. And you left the UN Security Council, where you were a writer, to become a PR entrepreneur. So tell me about this journey. The journey was crazy. My career began, I got a master's in public policy here at UCLA. I went to Europe for a little bit. I worked in Brussels with the EU institutions there at a think tank. And then I came back and I worked at a PR firm in LA for a couple of years early in my career. I got a job as the chief speechwriter for Israel's mission to the UN. And it was a crazy time to be doing that job. I was really young, and it was the outbreak of the Arab Spring. A lot of different things that were happening in the Middle East and in the world. So, fascinating moment. And I did that job for three years. And at that point, my now wife and I were dating, and she was in LA and I was in New York, and we had to figure out a place to be. So I said, you know what, I'm gonna come back. And I think I have a problem with authority is what I learned working in big institutions in different ways. And I like to be able to set the pace of what I do. And so I say, every entrepreneur has a different cross that they're trying to not bear. And for me, it was really having control of my own destiny, and that mattered a lot to me. So I was a young guy. I saw communications changing rapidly, really rapidly. When I started at the UN, then the ambassador, Susan Rice, they asked her if she was on Twitter and she said, I don't do diplomacy by haiku. And that was like a funny thing.

Mohamed “Mo” Massaquoi is a former NFL wide receiver best known for his time with the Cleveland Browns and a standout collegiate career at the University of Georgia. After a life-changing ATV accident in 2017 that resulted in the loss of his left hand, Mo’s story became one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. With a master’s in Industrial Organizational Psychology from UGA and executive development at Harvard Business School, Mo now leads as a consultant and coach, helping individuals and organizations navigate transition, and unlock their highest potential. His journey is a testament to the power of perspective, community, and relentless personal growth. Key Takeaways: Resilience Through Adversity: Mo’s journey illustrates how adversity, like his 2017 accident, can lead to profound self-discovery and transformation when faced with courage and a strong support system. Purpose Built on Service: Mo’s “because” is rooted in helping others through transition—recognizing that everyone faces challenges and that real strength is found in community, self-exploration, and service to others. Leadership Isn’t Lonely—It’s Collaborative: Mo emphasizes that leadership becomes isolating only when you refuse to let others in. The right team and open communication are essential to thriving as a leader or in any major life change. Sound Bites: “There is no individual hero… There’s a ton of people that are putting inputs in to kind of help you.” “Go within yourself—things that people are interested in may be the key to unlocking their gift.” “Leadership isn’t lonely, it’s isolated, because there’s a ton of people going through the same thing… you’re just not allowing other people to help.” Quote by Mick: “The game of sport is a business. And so now you go from being a player to having to think like a business person because you become a business yourself at that point in time as well.” Connect & Discover Mo: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ironmassaquoi/?hl=en Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohamedmassaquoi/ Website: https://www.thevessol.com/ Website: Players for Good FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

George Mumford is a highly sought-after mindfulness and performance coach, renowned for his transformative work with elite athletes—including legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. As the author of "Unlocked" and "The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance," George blends wisdom, curiosity, compassion, and selfless service to unlock the divine spark in every human being. With a captivating personal story that spans addiction recovery, close friendships with icons such as Julius Erving (Dr. J), and decades of coaching at the championship level, George’s teachings have changed countless lives both on and off the court. Takeaways Pure Performance Is About Presence: The highest level of achievement, or "pure performance," is found when you perform an activity solely for the love and authenticity of the moment—expressing your true self rather than focusing on external outcomes. Unlocking Potential Requires Letting Go: Growth and progress come from giving yourself permission to make mistakes, learning from them, and then letting them go so you can move forward—true freedom comes from self-acceptance and self-regulation. Leadership Is Empowerment: Great leaders, like Michael Jordan after working with George, learn to meet people where they are, inspire them to grow, and give others a meaningful say in the mission, shifting from control to collective ownership. Sound Bites “Elite performers are unlocked by their hunger for growth—the willingness to embrace discomfort and uncertainty is what propels them to the next level.” “Creating space between stimulus and response is the heart of emotional intelligence; it unlocks the freedom to choose your attitude and actions.” “You don’t need to be perfect to make progress—mistakes are just feedback. The key is to make the next play and stay present.” Quote from Mick: “Unlocked has changed my life. It’s literally a book that I reference at least three to four times a week... we have unlocked sessions where we talk through things as a group and as a team—because what one person is struggling with is probably something someone else is going through.” Connect & Discover George: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/george.mumford/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-mumford/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=george%20mumford Website: https://georgemumford.com/ Book: Unlocked: Embrace Your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
