Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Dr. Margie Warrell, bestselling author and global leadership expert, to talk about her latest book, The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action. Drawing from her deeply personal experiences and decades of coaching and research, Margie shares how courage isn't about eliminating fear—it's about regulating it and acting anyway. Margie and Andy explore the hidden ways fear shapes our decisions at work and at home, how overachievers can unknowingly be held back by fear, and why rescripting the stories we tell ourselves is essential to growth. You'll learn about the “courage muscle,” the power of embodiment, and practical steps to face difficult conversations and bold decisions. Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or navigating life transitions, Margie offers encouragement and tools to help you close your own courage gap. If you're looking for insights on facing fears, speaking up, and leading with greater confidence, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Courage is not the absence of fear—it's learning how to regulate it and act anyway.” “The smarter we think we are, the more cunningly our fear hides in the background.” “We reject ourselves before anyone else has the chance—because we don't ask.” “What we focus on expands. Fear thrives when we focus on what we don't want.” “Stand guard at the doorway of your language—your stories shape your reality.” “We need to parent—and lead—from purpose, not from fear.” “Every conversation is improv—and that's what makes it feel risky.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Start of Interview 02:06 How Did Your Upbringing Inspire Your Courage Work? 05:12 Did You Write This Book Because It Was Easy for You? 07:24 Should We Try to Get Rid of Fear? 09:15 How Do Smart People Hide Their Fear? 13:13 What Was That Story About the First Lady? 16:00 What Does Courage Look Like in Daily Life? 17:58 How Do You Focus on What You Want Instead of What You Fear? 21:40 How Can a Manager Use This to Give Feedback? 23:50 How Do You Apply These Ideas as a Parent? 25:49 How Do You Stop Fear-Casting and Catastrophizing? 28:20 What's a Personal Story You Had to Rescript? 32:40 What's the Role of Language in Shaping Our Stories? 35:00 How Do You Prepare to Speak with Confidence? 39:16 What Reps Did You Put In to Build Courage? 42:20 What Role Has Failure Played in Building Courage? 44:34 How Do You Help Kids Build Courage? 46:34 End of Interview 47:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 52:53 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Margie and her work at MargieWarrell.com.

This isn't just a name change; it's an expansion of our commitment to helping you thrive in today's dynamic, new economy marketplace. Today's EpisodeLeadership requires decisive action, not permission slips. In this revealing episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the most damaging leadership approaches plaguing businesses today: consensus leadership. Through a powerful real-world story about an orthodontist who sabotaged her own success by seeking employee approval, we explore why letting your team make critical business decisions is fundamentally flawed.Have you ever found yourself waiting for your team's blessing before implementing changes you know your business desperately needs? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs and business owners fall into this trap, consulting with employees who lack both innovation mindsets and the perspective needed to make strategic decisions. I share why this approach isn't just problematic—it's completely backward.The episode highlights a crucial distinction that transformative leaders understand: there's a world of difference between inspiring your team with the "why" behind changes and asking their permission to implement them. True leadership means having the courage to say, "This is the direction we're going" rather than asking, "Is this direction okay with everyone?" The most successful visionaries throughout history didn't achieve greatness through committee votes.Whether you're running a dental practice, restaurant, retail store, or any other business, this episode offers actionable insights on how to balance team input with decisive leadership. You'll learn how to create a culture of innovation where getting your team's buy-in enhances execution but never determines direction. The path to growth begins when you stop asking for permission to lead.Ready to transform your leadership approach? Subscribe to the podcast and join us at our upcoming Iconic Event in Nashville this October, where we'll dive deeper into the strategies that separate transformative leaders from tentative managers.

The White House says US President Donald Trump will likely hold talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week, following similar comments by top US officials over the weekend. This comes as tensions are ratcheting up again between the two countries, with both sides accusing the other of violating a trade truce deal agreed in Geneva last month. Meanwhile, the European Union is threatening countermeasures after Trump moved to double US tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to 50 percent starting on June 4. 

The property landscape for first-home buyers has transformed dramatically, with profound implications for anyone looking to step onto the property ladder in 2025. Gone are the days when purchasing your first home meant being in your mid-twenties with a modest deposit saved over a few years. Today's reality is starkly different.Sydney's first-time buyers are now predominantly in the 30-40 age bracket, having spent between 6-10 years accumulating enough savings for a deposit—more than double the 3-4 years it took a decade ago. With median house prices hovering around $1.6 million, the mathematics are daunting. A 20% deposit means having $320,000 ready to go, an almost impossible feat without additional support.This financial hurdle has given rise to what's now known as "the Bank of Mom and Dad," Australia's ninth largest property lender. The statistics are eye-opening: 60-70% of first-home buyers receive parental assistance in some form. Rather than viewing this as exceptional, the experts suggest normalizing these conversations about family support, acknowledging it as a common pathway into today's property market.Strategic approaches are becoming increasingly sophisticated among first-time buyers. "Rent-vesting"—buying an investment property while continuing to rent elsewhere or live with parents—has emerged as a popular strategy. Many buyers are leveraging government incentives by initially moving into their purchase (sometimes just before deadline requirements) before converting it to an investment property to maximize tax benefits and capital gains exemptions.Recent interest rate cuts have injected fresh energy into the market. With each 1% reduction in rates translating to approximately 10% more borrowing capacity, previously sidelined buyers are returning to auctions and inspections in force. This timing creates both opportunity and urgency for first-home buyers, particularly in supply-constrained areas like Sydney's Northern Beaches.Ready to take your first step into property ownership? Speak with a mortgage broker, explore government assistance schemes, have honest conversations with family about potential support, and remember—successful first-home buyers today combine multiple strategies with decisive action. The property market waits for no one, especially with increasing competition from returning investors.

From Cassette Tapes and Phrasebooks to AI Real-Time Translations — Machines Can Now Speak for Us, But We're Losing the Art of Understanding Each Other May 21, 2025A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter, by Marco CiappelliThere's this thing I've dreamed about since I was a kid.No, it wasn't flying cars. Or robot butlers (although I wouldn't mind one to fold the laundry). It was this: having a real conversation with someone — anyone — in their own language, and actually understanding each other.And now… here we are.Reference: Google brings live translation to Meet, starting with Spanish. https://www.engadget.com/apps/google-brings-live-translation-to-meet-starting-with-spanish-174549788.htmlGoogle just rolled out live AI-powered translation in Google Meet, starting with Spanish. I watched the demo video, and for a moment, I felt like I was 16 again, staring at the future with wide eyes and messy hair.It worked. It was seamless. Flawless. Magical.And then — drumroll, please — it sucked!Like… really, existentially, beautifully sucked.Let me explain.I'm a proud member of Gen X. I grew up with cassette tapes and Walkmans, boomboxes and mixtapes, floppy disks and Commodore 64s, reel-to-reel players and VHS decks, rotary phones and answering machines. I felt language — through static, rewinds, and hiss.Yes, I had to wait FOREVER to hit Play and Record, at the exact right moment, tape songs off the radio onto a Maxell, label it by hand, and rewind it with a pencil when the player chewed it up.I memorized long-distance dialing codes. I waited weeks for a letter to arrive from a pen pal abroad, reading every word like it was a treasure map.That wasn't just communication. That was connection.Then came the shift.I didn't miss the digital train — I jumped on early, with curiosity in one hand and a dial-up modem in the other.Early internet. Mac OS. My first email address felt like a passport to a new dimension. I spent hours navigating the World Wide Web like a digital backpacker — discovering strange forums, pixelated cities, and text-based adventures in a binary world that felt limitless.I said goodbye to analog tools, but never to analog thinking.So what is the connection with learning languages?Well, here's the thing: exploring the internet felt a lot like learning a new language. You weren't just reading text — you were decoding a culture. You learned how people joked. How they argued. How they shared, paused, or replied with silence. You picked up on the tone behind a blinking cursor, or the vibe of a forum thread.Similarly, when you learn a language, you're not just learning words — you're decoding an entire world. It's not about the words themselves — it's about the world they build. You're learning gestures. Food. Humor. Social cues. Sarcasm. The way someone raises an eyebrow, or says “sure” when they mean “no.”You're learning a culture's operating system, not just its interface. AI translation skips that. It gets you the data, but not the depth. It's like getting the punchline without ever hearing the setup.And yes, I use AI to clean up my writing. To bounce translations between English and Italian when I'm juggling stories. But I still read both versions. I still feel both versions. I'm picky — I fight with my AI counterpart to get it right. To make it feel the way I feel it. To make you feel it, too. Even now.I still think in analog, even when I'm living in digital.So when I watched that Google video, I realized:We're not just gaining a tool. We're at risk of losing something deeply human — the messy, awkward, beautiful process of actually trying to understand someone who moves through the world in a different language — one that can't be auto-translated.Because sometimes it's better to speak broken English with a Japanese friend and a Danish colleague — laughing through cultural confusion — than to have a perfectly translated conversation where nothing truly connects.This isn't just about language. It's about every tool we create that promises to “translate” life. Every app, every platform, every shortcut that promises understanding without effort.It's not the digital that scares me. I use it. I live in it. I am it, in many ways. It's the illusion of completion that scares me.The moment we think the transformation is done — the moment we say “we don't need to learn that anymore” — that's the moment we stop being human.We don't live in 0s and 1s. We live in the in-between. The gray. The glitch. The hybrid.So yeah, cheers to AI-powered translation, but maybe keep your Walkman nearby, your phrasebook in your bag — and your curiosity even closer.Go explore the world. Learn a few words in a new language. Mispronounce them. Get them wrong. Laugh about it. People will appreciate your effort far more than your fancy iPhone.Alla prossima,— Marco 

In this episode of 'Speak the Truth,' Michael interviews author Jonathan Holmes at the Biblical Counseling Coalition Canada Conference. They discuss Jonathan's latest book, 'Grounded in Grace,' which provides insight into helping children build their identity in Christ.

Jonathan emphasizes the significance of grounding identity in biblical truth, especially in light of societal challenges related to mental health, sexual orientation, and gender confusion. This practical guide is recommended for parents, youth leaders, and counselors.00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:28 Guest Introduction: Jonathan Holmes00:41 Discussing 'Grounded in Grace'02:42 Identity and Emotions in Kids04:14 Core Areas of Identity Struggles05:47 Parental Role in Identity Formation07:35 Spiritual Warfare and Identity09:27 Encouragement for Parents and Ministers13:09 Closing Thoughts and RecommendationsEpisode MentionsGrounded in Grace: Helping Kids Build their Identity in Christ Jonathan's Amazon Page with All His Books 

In this powerful continuation of the “I Will Cut You” series, Pastor [Insert Name] dives into the life-giving and life-destroying power of the tongue in a message titled "Words Matter." Drawing from James 3 and other supporting Scriptures, this sermon exposes the destructive nature of ungodly speech—gossip, slander, negativity, manipulation, and false teaching—and calls believers to “cut off” these sins of the tongue.God's Word was never meant to coexist with the words of our oppressors. Just as Isaiah 55:12 promises deliverance through God's voice, we are reminded that our speech should reflect the freedom and peace that only He provides. Instead of sowing strife through prideful, harmful words, we are called to plant seeds of righteousness with wisdom from above—speech that is pure, peace-loving, gentle, compassionate, and full of good fruit.You'll discover: Why sins of the tongue are more than just “bad habits” — they are often demonically fueled weapons against unity and destiny. How spiritual maturity is tied to speech discipline. The emotional, physical, and spiritual consequences of careless and prideful words. Practical steps for replacing destructive language with godly, life-giving communication. The danger of being a “busybody” and the importance of staying focused on your God-given assignment. This message isn't just about talking differently—it's about living differently by submitting every word to the Lordship of Christ. Because words shape worlds, and your breakthrough may just be waiting on your mouth to agree with God!Cut it off. Speak life. Walk in peace.

Jeff Flake, former Senator and Ambassador to Turkey and current Chair of World Trade Center Utah joins the show live to discuss his latest opinion piece on republican responsibility published in the Washington Post.

A submissive wife should not let small disagreements spiral into major conflicts. Many arguments that steal your peace and joy are rooted in emotions that can be expressed more wisely. Instead of reacting with frustration, use these moments to sharpen your communication skills. Learn to express your feelings without anger—this is a powerful strength. When your husband hears your heart without hostility, he is more likely to listen, understand, and respond in love. Speak with calm. Lead with grace. A peaceful wife builds a peaceful home.

From practicing the ancient prayer of Examen with his 10 and 7-year-old to implementing radical boundaries around smartphones, Jay offers practical wisdom for dads who want to show up—really show up—for their children in an analog way.  TAKEAWAYS   Moving at the "pace of peace" means prioritizing relationships over plans and never compromising people for productivity The Examen prayer creates a powerful bedtime rhythm: presence, gratitude, reflection, confession, and hope for tomorrow Breath prayers can transform everyday moments—try "God, you control outcomes" (inhale) and "help me to be faithful" (exhale) Digital addiction requires intentional intervention: practice one hour tech-free daily, one day weekly, one week yearly Your kids need to see you detached from devices—dock phones away from family spaces to model analog presence Catechism in daily rhythms reinforces identity: "What is our only hope in life and death? We are not our own, we belong to God" Social media should have age restrictions like alcohol and tobacco—consider no social media until 18 The fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) is the antidote to digital-age discontentment, fragility, and foolishness GUEST  Jay Kim is a pastor in Northern California's Silicon Valley, author of multiple books including Analog Christian and Analog Church, and host of the Digital Examen podcast. He and his wife Jenny have two children and are committed to practicing intentional, incarnational family rhythms in one of the world's most digitally connected regions. Jay's work focuses on helping followers of Jesus navigate technology with wisdom while cultivating deeper spiritual practices.

In this raw and hilarious episode of PivotMe, April shares an intensely personal story—her tattoo horror story. But beneath the ink and regret lies a powerful message about people-pleasing, distraction, and the cost of staying silent in critical moments. From battling through a brutal year to permanently marking her comeback on her body, April takes us through a decision made during emotional exhaustion and what it taught her about boundaries, voice, and recovery. Key Takeaways:

Preaching for the Solemnity of the Ascension, Colleen Campbell Karchunas offers a reflection on transforming struggle and pain into testimony and purpose: "When we experience suffering or confusing and complicated events in our lives, it can be easy to turn away from asking deeper questions because of the pain we have experienced. However, the Ascension calls us to consider allowing what happens to us become a part of our story and call...What will you do with what has happened to you?"Colleen Campbell Karchunas is a pastoral minister passionate about formation and accompaniment, especially as understood by Pope Francis. She has served in various Catholic settings, walking with leaders, youth, and students on their faith journeys. Colleen holds a PhD in Catechetics and currently serves as a campus minister while studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/06012025 to learn more about Colleen, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.

There are mounting calls for sports stars and influencers to come out publicly against the dangers of run it-type games, including from the family of a man who died of head trauma over 20 years ago. Palmerston North 19-year-old Ryan Satterthwaite died when he was injured in a tackle game with friends. His uncle Pete has issued a public plea for rugby and rugby players, and social media influencers, to use their platforms to speak out. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

In early 2003, Amy went into labor a full ten weeks before her due date. When her twins were born, both were struggling. But one of the boys was in a particularly dire situation, and needed a blood transfusion as soon as possible.

Address them directly. 

This weekend, the New York Times ran a piece titled Six Months Later, Democrats Are Still Searching for the Path Forward, and it was bleak. The lead quote came from Anat Shenker-Osorio, a favorite of this show, describing Democrats as sloths, snails, and most devastatingly, a deer in headlights. That last one feels accurate, especially when you look at the post-election breakdown from Catalist, a Democratic-aligned polling firm. We'll dive deeper into that next week with Michael Cohen, but the short version? The coalition looks grim.Democrats are losing ground, and it's not just because of Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. It's not just about the top of the ticket. It's structural. They don't have a message that resonates, and they don't have a coalition that can win. When you look at how the electorate has shifted since 2012 — through 2016, 2020, and now 2024 — the trend is clear. Wide swaths of the country keep moving right. This is not just a Trump story. This is a cultural shift.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.There are a few bright spots — like John Ossoff. The Atlanta suburbs are still trending blue, which gives him a strong base going into his re-election. But one candidate's survival isn't a strategy. The bigger problem is Democrats losing voters they used to count on, and then reacting like anthropologists studying a foreign culture. Take the new $20 million project codenamed SAM — “Speaking with American Men.” The plan is to understand what language appeals to young men online and then buy ad space in video games. I'm not kidding.I'll save you the $20 million. Want to understand American men? Go to a sports bar at lunch. Talk to the bartender. Watch what's on TV. It's going to be Capitals games, Commanders games, maybe Nationals if they're hot. Ask what name the bartender uses — Commanders or Redskins — and pay attention. That's a signal. Look around. You'll see a guy without sleeves. His name is Pat McAfee. He parlayed a Barstool podcast into a national show that's shaping how a huge swath of American men consume sports and culture.McAfee is the demographic. Not the man, but the space he occupies. You don't need to book him — in fact, don't. But understand what kind of guests are on his show. What they talk about. What they joke about. The cultural signals they send. Most aren't overtly political, but they skew conservative. They care about sports, performance, and authenticity. They aren't trying to be progressive heroes. They're just being themselves — and Democrats don't know how to speak to that.The real issue is that Democrats think everything is messaging. They believe their phrasing is so perfect, so tested, that if people just heard it the right way, it would work. But voters aren't lab rats. They're not waiting for the next DNC ad drop to form their opinions. They're watching comedians joke about trans athletes. They're laughing at jokes about liberal overreach. They're reacting to a world where Democrats are often cast as anti-fun and anti-speech. And white men — yes, still the overwhelming majority of this country — don't respond well to being told they're the problem from the start.So how do you reach them? Start by understanding who's already reaching them. Then think about what message would land quietly on a show like Pat McAfee's. Not what would stand out. What would blend in. That's the Rosetta Stone. Speak in a way that doesn't sound like a speech. Get out of your own head. Stop trying to convert — start trying to connect.And meanwhile, while Democrats strategize over lunch buffets at luxury hotels, Trump is climbing in the polls. The idea that he's getting “less popular” is just wrong. His lowest point was late April. Since then, his numbers have rebounded. His approval is hovering around 47 percent. That's good — especially for someone who normally lives in the 30s. Right now, more Americans think the country is on the right track under Trump than they ever did under Biden. The direction-of-the-country numbers are strong. For Trump. That's insane. And Democrats ignore it at their peril.They keep underestimating him. They keep assuming the messaging is enough. But Trump is talking about tax cuts for tips and overtime. Democrats are voting for them too — the Senate just passed a version 100 to 0. They know it polls well. They just don't want to say it out loud unless it's their version.Politics is about trust. And the Biden White House broke it. When it's he said, she said, voters side with the one who hasn't lied to them. That's Trump right now. And if Democrats want to change that, they've got to start being honest — not just with the public, but with themselves.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:44 - Democrat Rebranding Struggles00:26:16 - Update00:27:34 - US-EU Trade Talks and Consumer Confidence00:31:32 - Senate Republican Fiscal Concerns00:34:34 - Covid Vaccine Recommendations Pulled00:37:52 - Interview with Juliegrace Brufke01:04:15 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

There’s no question that loneliness has become a global epidemic and is now being recognized as the invisible illness of our day and age. And the sad reality is that it’s always the undiagnosed illnesses that are the most dangerous and deadly. Dr. Mark Mayfield defines loneliness as: “The state of being unseen or unnoticed—relationally, emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. It’s marked by a deep sense of hopelessness.” And loneliness is more than just a feeling. It’s a disease pathway, meaning as loneliness increases, so do levels of anxiety, depression, substance use, and even suicide risk. According to a Cigna survey of over 20,000 adults: 54% felt no one truly knew them, 43% said their relationships didn’t feel meaningful, and 36% said they didn’t feel like they had anyone to turn to. Again, that’s not just concerning—it’s a crisis. Because no matter who you are, where you're from, or what you've been through, you were designed to be connected. For this reason as we are nearing the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are bringing on a very special guest who is an expert in human connection and leadership - Jordan Montgomery. Jordan is a USA Today bestselling author, renowned performance coach, and keynote speaker, trusted by elite business executives, sales teams, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs. Known for his dynamic presence and transformative insights, Jordan has shared the stage with countless luminaries such as Jon Gordon, John Maxwell, Angela Duckworth, and many others. Additionally, he and his wife, Ashley, lead Montgomery Companies, a powerhouse team of nationally recognized speakers and coaches. Whether in the boardroom or on the sports field, their team excels at helping leaders and teams reach peak performance. Their impressive client roster includes Fortune 500 companies like John Deere, Northwestern Mutual, and Principal Financial, as well as elite athletes, Olympians, and Super Bowl champions. In today’s conversation we will be discussing his most recent book, The Art of Encouragement, in order to help you more effectively lead with, serve, connect, and spread love with those you interact with.

On this episode, we dig into the chilling nighttime account of a young woman who dared to confront the shadows that had haunted her since childhood. What began as an effort to face a lifelong fear turned into an unforgettable series of events involving a silent entity, mysterious time shifts, and a stereo that exploded to life without warning.   As we follow her decision to finally switch off the lights and look directly into the dark, what unfolds is not just a tale of fear—but a moment of eerie defiance that yielded no answers, only more questions. Why did the shadow vanish when she reached out? And who—or what—was truly listening?
