For the first time in Australia, a long-overdue inquiry into abuse and coercive control within cults and religious groups has been launched. The Victorian inquiry was initiated after reports of coercive behaviour at the Geelong Revival Centre, many of which were revealed by Richard Baker in the LiSTNR podcast Secrets We Keep: Pray Harder. In the series, Rich described the GRC, under the leadership of Pastor Noel Hollins, as one of Australia’s most extreme Pentecostal churches. Former members shared horrific allegations of historical child sex abuse cover-ups, tight control of their relationships, and harsh restrictions placed on the freedoms of women. In this special episode, we wanted to share episode one of Secrets We Keep Pray Harder with you. If you want to binge the rest of the series, click here for episode 2 now. The interviews in this series were recorded during Pastor Noel Hollins leadership of the Geelong Revival Centre. During production, Pastor Noel died. The experiences and allegations raised do not relate to the current leadership of the GRC. Lifeline 13 11 14.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are we so much chattier than other species? Madeleine Beekman has a surprising answer: blame the babies. Madeleine is professor emerita of evolutionary biology at the University of Sydney, and in her new book, The Origin of Language: How We Learned to Speak and Why, she explains that due to a series of evolutionary accidents, human infants were born so helpless that survival depended on coordinating care. Language, she argues, evolved as a kind of project-management system for baby-rearing. In other words, we didn't start talking because we were geniuses; we started talking because we were exhausted parents.

Hi Wellness Warrior! Today, we're diving into something that doesn't always get talked about enough—but when you experience it, it can shift everything. I'm talking about somatic work. You see, so often as moms, nurses, caregivers—we live in our heads. We push through stress, we manage schedules, we deal with emotions by tucking them away and just keeping on. But our bodies… they hold the story. They hold the stress, the trauma, the unspoken emotions. That's where somatic work comes in. It's a way of gently reconnecting to the body, releasing what's been stored, and creating space for peace and healing. And the benefits are powerful: reduced anxiety, improved sleep, nervous system regulation, and even more clarity in how you show up for your life and your people. And today's guest, Shay Joyner, knows this first-hand. She's a new author and someone who courageously stepped into somatic practices—and through it, she experienced a huge holistic breakthrough. Shay Joyner is a daughter of the most high king first and foremost. A mother to 4 and a wife to 1. Living within her comfort zone for the majority of her life, the Lord in his sovereignty and goodness, brought her through some rough patches & seasons, revealing to her the real strength she has, through Him and that there is far more that God has in store for her than she could ever think or imagine. I can't wait for you to hear her wisdom, her honesty, and her encouragement for you as a mom navigating stress, burnout, and the desire for deeper wholeness. So let's jump in!

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "It was such a pleasure talking with Alf Cowan. In fact, our conversation went on so long we had to restart the Zoom because we ran out of time — I think we ended up talking for a couple of hours! Alf is a really thoughtful guy. After university — where he studied business — he unexpectedly found himself working in face-to-face fundraising, which was a real revelation for him at the time. From there he moved into the charity sector, working directly for charities on their face-to-face programs, before transitioning into more of a data and analytics focus. Today, Alf is Head of Charities at MediaLab, but he still draws heavily on his early face-to-face experience. He regularly visits frontline teams to stay connected to that perspective, and it really informs the campaigns he creates for clients. He's insightful, reflective, and a genuinely nice person to talk to. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation with Alf Cowan" You can learn more about our upcoming Fundraising Recruitment and Careers Conference happening on Thursday 20th November here If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to hit follow and enable notifications so you'll get notified to be first to hear of future podcast episodes.

I had such a great time talking with Dario Phillips, Co-founder of Slowtide. What started as a simple idea—a better beach towel—has grown into a lifestyle brand that's as much about art and culture as it is about function.  Dario shared how Slowtide turned a category often overlooked into something exciting, combining creativity, collaboration, and sustainability in a way that truly resonates with today's consumer. What really stood out to me was the way Dario approaches brand building. Slowtide isn't just about selling towels; it's about creating products that people connect with and want to showcase in their everyday lives. From artist collaborations to pushing the boundaries of what a towel can be, this is a story about vision, persistence, and transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Here are a few key moments from the episode: * How a love for surf, art, and culture inspired the very first product idea.   * The journey from a side hustle to a full-fledged brand stocked in major retailers.   * Why artist and brand collaborations have become such a powerful part of their identity.   * The challenges of scaling while staying true to their creative roots and sustainable values.   * Insights into how Slowtide turned a utilitarian product into a lifestyle statement.

What would you do if your first major order, worth $400,000, fell apart in your customer's hands…and there was no one to refund you? For Mike Watts, it wasn't the end. It was the beginning of a comeback story that transformed a product idea into an America-made brand built on grit, values, and legacy. Mike is a serial entrepreneur with six product-based startups and over $80 million in retail sales under his belt. He's the founder of LoveHandle, the smartphone accessory brand that's stayed 100% family-owned and self-funded, despite opportunities to scale faster with outside investors. He also forged a partnership with Daymond John, without ever appearing on Shark Tank. From Costly Mistakes to a Manufacturing Advantage Mike shares the hard-earned lesson every product-based entrepreneur needs to hear: control matters.  After his overseas supplier cut corners that cost him $400K, he made the bold decision to bring manufacturing in-house. That shift gave him full control over quality, fulfillment, and product development. If you're relying on third-party suppliers, this story might change how you think about risk, ownership, and scale. How to Build a Brand That's Rooted in Real Relationships Forget chasing investors or quick wins. Mike grew LoveHandle by focusing on what most overlook: relationships.  Whether it was handing out branded samples at trade shows or pre-printing logos for every exhibitor to spark conversations, his approach was personal, thoughtful, and wildly effective.  Today, his company is still 100% family-owned, run by a team that includes his wife, kids, and even his mother-in-law. If you've ever wondered how to grow while staying true to your values, Mike's story is proof that it can be done. Enjoy this episode with Mike Watts… Soundbytes 17:32 - 19:44 “They told us, don't send samples to the show….But I'm really more of an ask forgiveness than permission kind of guy. And so I kept sending samples…Then one of those made it to my dream shark Daymond John, and he started using the product. Loved it. And then he started ordering them from my website… I saw the order come in…So I called right away…They're like, Oh, you want to talk to Damon? Great. No chance…So I made some custom products that said, Rise and grind with a nice foil card on there. I sent him a box of 500…It was a big hit…And then I just kept sending them. And then, eventually, one day, the phone rings and it's Damon and his team calling. They say Mike, I really respect your hustle…I got more deals than I could say grace over, but I like you and I like your product, so let's work out a deal.” 11:53 - 12:25 “We were growing very quickly right up until 2020, when COVID happened, and everybody got quarantined. Now, all of a sudden there's no trade shows. So every order we had canceled, and then our entire market dried up.” Quotes “We dumped $400,000 worth of product into the dump.” “I'm really more of an ask forgiveness than permission kind of guy.” “If you never quit, you're guaranteed success.” “If you didn't almost lose everything, you probably didn't start a great company.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://www.lovehandle.com/  Connect with Mike Watts on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-watts-21402578/  Connect with brandiD Find out how top leaders are increasing their authority, impact, and income online.

Key Takeaways:  Pivoting Can Be the Smartest Move You Make: Nicole's shift from coaching to podcasting wasn't a step backward, it was a leap toward something that energized her every day. Strategic Investments Pay Off—If You Actually Implement: The importance of acting on what you learn from courses and mentors, instead of staying in “forever student” mode. Passion and Profit Can Go Hand-in-Hand: The Fantasy Fangirls Podcast proves that you can build a sustainable business around what you genuinely love when you combine your passion with taking an honest look at your numbers.  Entrepreneurship Doesn't Have to Be Lonely: Whether you're going it solo or have a team, you don't have to white knuckle it to success. Don't be afraid to create a support system and rely on others along the way.   Make Space for Hobbies and Discovering Your Spark: Choosing projects that light you up can be the key to longevity and fulfillment in business.

What if the key to consistent, high-income months wasn't more hustle, but a powerful mix of inner shifts and smart strategy? In this episode, Nicole pulls back the curtain on the four transformative money shifts that changed everything in her business. Sparked by a candid conversation with a client, she reveals the deeper mindset and energy patterns that can either block your growth or open the door to entirely new levels of income. You'll hear how she broke free from her old “money paradigm,” moving beyond feast-or-famine cycles into a reality where money arrives in both expected and unexpected ways. She shares the daily energetic practices that keep her aligned, the pivotal questions that reshaped her strategy, and the moment-to-moment awareness she uses to stay in the energy of abundance rather than lack. This isn't about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all tactics — it's about creating both the internal foundation and the external systems that can actually support bigger results. Through real-life stories and practical examples, Nicole shows you how to identify where your current reality isn't built for your goals, and what it takes to create pathways for money to flow more freely. If you've ever wondered what really changes when you start making more money — and how to make it happen without burning out or forcing it — this episode offers the clarity and motivation you need to start shifting now.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Ben Hawken, author of the book Chandelier. Ben is the award-winning creator of several beloved video series and a small handful of children. Previously, he was the author of zero other books and graduated with honors from a community college, as well as a real college.  He lives outside Seattle with his family.   In my book review, I stated Chandelier is a can't-put-down thriller that kept me reading long past my bedtime! We meet Sienna as a young child who finds herself working on a government project because of a small ridge present in her brain. According to the scientists, this ridge is like an antenna that picks up Russian signals. Sienna loves that she is part of something big, but when her part in the project is over, she feels unfulfilled - as though she failed. She spends the rest of her life trying to outrun that feeling.   As an adult, Sienna is a wife, mother, and expert in her field. She is also somewhat aloof and has never revealed to her secret life as a child. Until ... the past comes barreling into her present and threatens to destroy her carefully laid future.   I love Sienna's character. She is tough and smart, but also scared and scarred. Like me, she would do anything for her children - and that resolve is tested as she reveals long-hidden truths and makes difficult decisions for her family. I was on the edge of my seat and loved the twists and turns of this story.

From academic struggles at SUNY Albany to holding the world record for the largest prop firm payouts—roughly $4.5 million in total, Kyle Ng a.k.a. JadeCap's journey started out like many aspiring traders. Sparked by a childhood friend's success in forex about 14 years ago, he found his way into the financial markets.  Like many traders, he went through the pain, losses and sacrifices and struggles, but at the same time he's also unlike many traders, slowly building his edge through discipline, risk management, and a long-term mindset. Over the years, he's leveraged prop firms to scale his returns, transitioning fluidly between forex and futures while adapting his approach to changing market conditions. Influenced by ICT's teachings, his style blends patience, adaptability, and the wisdom to step back when the market calls for it. In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind the milestones, the real-life lessons from his trading evolution, and what it truly takes to thrive in trading.
