When the market feels uncertain, most agents slow down. Top agents lean in. In this episode, we break down why hesitation — not interest rates or inventory — is the real threat to your business, and how structure, conversations, and daily action create certainty even in challenging markets. This is not hype or empty motivation. It's a practical reset for agents who want predictable income, stronger pipelines, and renewed momentum. You'll learn why pessimism spreads so easily, how hard markets actually remove competition, and why optimism becomes a competitive advantage when it's backed by a real plan. We cover the core laws of motivation, the comeback formula for rebuilding momentum, and how AI fits into the future of real estate without replacing agents who lead with confidence and action. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why hesitation — not the market — kills agent income• How structure eliminates anxiety and builds confidence• The daily actions that create listings and appointments• Why conversations drive income in every market• How to turn optimism into a practical business advantage If you've felt uncertainty creeping in this year, this episode is your reset. Because optimism isn't something you wait for. It's something you earn through action.
Mattes Kries | 10 Percent True | EP81 – Part 1In this episode, Mattes Kries—a former Luftwaffe Tornado IDS pilot and weapons instructor—traces his career from a hard-won start in NATO jet training through frontline Tornado operations, weapons school, and senior tactics leadership. He explains how Germany's Tornado force evolved from Cold War low-level nuclear strike toward conventional, medium-altitude employment; how lessons from U.S. and NATO exercises reshaped German tactics; and why culture, risk tolerance, and bureaucracy matter as much as hardware.Along the way, Mattes offers rare, candid insight into weapons school innovation, COMAO command without Link 16, live weapons integration, and the realities of training for combat in a force defined by safety-first constraints—grounded in vivid anecdotes and hard-earned lessons.Timestamps00:00 – The Greek instructor teaser01:58 – Welcome Mattes & Phil's subscriber questions: inspiration and most exhilarating mission12:05 – Matthew's subscriber question: history and pride in the modern Luftwaffe23:40 – Attachment to the past among today's Luftwaffe personnel29:10 – Starting out in the Luftwaffe34:02 – F-4 ambitions—and why fate had other (good) ideas41:28 – T-37 challenges (and the Greek instructor)49:00 – Turning early struggles into long-term success51:15 – Arrival on the Tornado at Büchel56:40 – Tornado IDS: roles, weapons, and mission sets1:05:35 – SIOP and nuclear strike planning1:10:40 – The MW-1 weapon system1:20:19 – Why the MW-1 was never fitted for training—and the power of German accountants1:29:30 – Staying on the boom: tanker planning as a weapons school student1:35:08 – Avoiding the KC-135 by design?1:36:35 – Responding to Starbaby's criticism of ECR capabilities vs decision-maker mindset1:54:25 – Part 2 incoming

There's an art — and a surprising amount of psychology — behind giving a great compliment. When done well, flattery can strengthen relationships, build trust, and make people more receptive. When done poorly, it can feel awkward or manipulative. This episode begins with what research says about how to give and receive compliments the right way. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evidence-based-living/202109/the-psychology-compliments-nice-word-goes-long-way Americans buy an astonishing amount of cheap stuff — souvenirs, knick-knacks, novelty items, gadgets — most of which quickly lose their appeal and end up forgotten in drawers or closets. Why are we so drawn to these things in the first place? And why do they so often disappoint us? Wendy Woloson joins me to explain the deep cultural, emotional, and historical forces behind our love of “cheap crap.” She's an associate professor of history at Rutgers University–Camden and author of Crap: A History of Cheap Stuff in America (https://amzn.to/3M9M9WM). When it comes to health, many people may be thinking about exercise all wrong. Staying healthy isn't just about gym workouts or formal exercise — it's about how much you move throughout the entire day. Small movements, done consistently, can have a powerful impact on longevity and overall fitness. Juliet Starrett explains why everyday movement matters more than you think and how to easily build it into your routine. She's co-author of Built to Move (https://amzn.to/3ZwADHH) and host of The Ready State podcast.(https://thereadystate.com/podcasts/) And finally — if you're someone who doodles while listening, you may not be distracted at all. Research suggests doodling can actually improve focus and memory. We wrap up with why letting your pen wander may help your brain pay better attention. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-power-of-the-doodle-improve-your-focus-and-memory-1406675744 Learn more about your ad choices.

Lately, we've been hearing from so many of you in our DMs. People are telling us they feel guilty wanting pleasure. Ashamed for craving closeness. Disconnected from their bodies and their partners because the world feels overwhelming, violent, and unstable. Others have told us they know their relationship matters, but caring about their sex life feels hard when so much is happening globally. Many of you feel less present, less motivated, and more anxious, and it's showing up directly in your connection. In today's episode, we're talking about what to do when the weight of the world makes intimacy feel impossible. This conversation is not about ignoring reality. It's about learning how to stay grounded, emotionally available, and connected so you can actually show up for your life, your values, and your relationship.
EP 676 Heart Rate, VO2 Max, and Hunt Readiness with MTNtough What’s up! This week on the Rich Outdoors Podcast, I’m sitting down with Jason and Nick from MTN Tough Fitness to talk about something we’ve been geeking out on for a while—health metrics, performance tracking, and what “hunt readiness” actually means for backcountry hunters. As we’re building the Bridger Watch (yeah, the smartwatch for hunters), we’ve been having deep conversations with the MTN Tough crew about what metrics actually matter when you’re training for elk season. Because here’s the thing: most fitness wearables are built for runners, cyclists, and gym rats—not for hunters humping 60 pounds on their back through deadfall at 9,000 feet. Nick is a MTN Tough coach and physical therapist who programs their daily workouts, and Jason is one of their athletes who’s joining the Bridger team. These guys know what it takes to train for the mountains, and more importantly, they understand the difference between sustained Zone 2 cardio and getting absolutely crushed by a 42-minute Mountain Tough workout that leaves you laying on the floor. We dive into what a “hunt readiness score” could look like, how to measure work capacity beyond just heart rate, why rucking strain is completely different than cardiovascular strain, and how we can use wearables to help hunters stay in that 80-90% efficiency zone all day long. We also talk about the mental side of fitness—how to make better decisions under fatigue, why discipline in the gym translates to discipline in the mountains, and what happens when you’re on day two of a hunt with frozen boots and a broken water filter. This episode is part fitness science, part backcountry hunting strategy, and part startup talk about building products that actually solve problems hunters face. Whether you’re training for September or just trying to figure out how to not get your butt kicked on your next western hunt, there’s a lot of good stuff in here. Let’s get into it. Tricer Tripods – They make gear that’s fast, light, and simple, from amazing tripods to bino mounts, panhead truck mounts, and now even bipods. Tricer makes gear that’s fast, light, and simple. I love their gear, and if you’re looking for a new system for better glassing, check out Tricer. Head over to the website tricer.com. They make great products and it’s just a great company. Awesome dudes. Been using the heck out of the bipod—killed a lot of critters with it. Use the code TRO and you’ll save yourself 10% at checkout. Stone Glacier – I’ve packed out a lot of animals with my Stone Glacier pack this year. The Sky Archer 6400 has been with me to Alaska, British Columbia, Wyoming, Montana, and I love the thing. Whether it’s a 10-day backpack hunt or you’re day hunting from the side-by-side, that’s what I love about Stone Glacier—it’s minimalist, it’s lightweight. You can use it day hunting or for an alpine backpack hunt. Stone Glacier makes an entire suite of hardcore mountain hunting gear. If you’re in the market, head over to stoneglacier.com. Use the code TRO and you’ll save yourself a discount and get some great gear. Chapter Timestamps 0:00 – Intro: Fresh Off a MTN Tough Workout 3:15 – Meet Nick: MTN Tough Coach & Physical Therapist 6:30 – Jason Joins Bridger: Startup Life with a Kid on the Way 9:00 – Why We’re Talking About Health Metrics for Hunters 12:45 – The Backcountry Boondoggle: Testing Fitness in the Field 16:30 – How Many Miles? Average Archery Season Days 19:45 – Have You Ever Bonked on a Hunt? 23:15 – The Hunt Readiness Score: What Would It Look Like? 27:30 – Heart Rate Efficiency & Staying in the 80-90% Zone 31:00 – VO2 Max vs. Work Capacity: What Really Matters? 35:15 – The Rucking Problem: Muscular + Neurological Strain 38:45 – Measuring Strength Load vs. Cardio Load 41:30 – Subjective Scores & Mental Toughness Training 44:15 – Decision Making Under Fatigue 47:00 – Discipline in the Gym = Discipline in the Mountains 50:30 – Baby #2, Hunt Plans & Balancing Family Life Three Key Takeaways Heart Rate Monitoring Can Keep You in Your Efficiency Zone All Day – Most hunters blow themselves out on day one by pushing too hard when camp isn’t where they thought, or the trail is longer than expected. A wearable that monitors your heart rate and keeps you in an 80-90% efficiency zone (based on your current fitness level) could be the difference between being smoked for three days versus being able to hunt hard every single day. It’s not about going slow—it’s about understanding what pace your body can sustain without bonking. Rucking Strain is Completely Different Than Cardiovascular Strain – Carrying 60-70 pounds on your back for 8 hours isn’t primarily a cardio challenge—it’s muscular, skeletal, and neurological strain. Most fitness wearables only measure cardiovascular load based on sustained heart rate, but they can’t quantify what it feels like to have weight on your frame all day. Building a “hunt readiness score” means figuring out how to measure both the cardio AND the strength components of backcountry hunting, which is why Mountain Tough’s blend of strength and conditioning is so effective. Mental Toughness is Trainable Through Exposure to Hard Situations – The more you put yourself in challenging situations—whether that’s finishing brutal workouts when you want to quit, or waking up to frozen boots and pushing through anyway—the more you build the self-awareness and discipline to make good decisions under fatigue. It’s not about never wanting to quit; it’s about recognizing that thought, acknowledging it’s normal, and then choosing to push through. The fitness side removes one major stressor, so when other factors pop up (weather, wind, gear failure), you’re not also dealing with being physically smoked.

In today's episode, I talk about why entrepreneurship feels terrifying when progress moves slowly and the daily evidence rarely matches where you want to go. I explain how fear grows from uncertainty, why people tie happiness to future outcomes, and how that mindset keeps you stuck. I share what happened when I lost everything and why returning to humility taught me to ask for help instead of refusing it. I break down resistance from critics and from people who love you, then get into perceived value, pricing confidence, and why practicing your message with feedback matters. Staying in the learning zone is where momentum actually builds.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, we talk about what momentum really looks like at different stages of business and why the strategies that once worked stop working as you raise your prices and take on fewer weddings. The goal isn't to stay busy. It's to stay growing.We break down the shift from volume based momentum to intentional momentum. Why fewer weddings require more strategy. Why consistent, qualified inquiries matter more than a packed calendar. And how playing it safe, even when things feel “fine,” can quietly stall your growth.We also talk honestly about what happens when momentum slows. The scramble. The freeze. The temptation to discount or pivot just to feel busy again. And why sometimes the fastest way forward is taking a step back, getting clear, and choosing a smarter plan.You are more capable than you think, and momentum builds the moment you decide to go for it.Register for our free Referrals on Repeat Masterclass on February 4th https://thelevelupco.com/referrals-on-repeatTimestamps:00:00 - 03:30 | Breaking the Editing Cycle: Why Momentum Matters03:31 - 07:00 | Volume-Based Momentum vs. Intentional Growth07:01 - 11:30 | Niching Down: Building Momentum With Fewer Weddings11:31 - 15:00 | What Momentum Actually Looks Like at Higher Price Points15:01 - 19:30 | When Momentum Slows: Fight, Flight, Freeze Reactions19:31 - 23:30 | Rebuilding Momentum With Strategy and Humility23:31 - 27:30 | Proof of Momentum: Student Wins and Real Results27:31 - 31:56 | Long-Term Momentum: Strategy, Education, and Staying in MotionThe next round of The Luxury Mastermind will start in Spring 2026!

It's easy to feel discouraged when things take an unexpected turn, especially after a string of successes. Keith Kalfas spoke candidly about how many of us lose momentum and slip from a place of focus into a phase of discouragement. The pandemic and other worldly changes affected the rhythm for countless entrepreneurs, leaving even the most driven individuals wondering, "What happened to my mojo?" But grit isn't about never falling—it's about how you get back up. As Keith Kalfas recounted, even successful people can become complacent or coast after achieving certain goals. The key is continuing to show up, do the work, and push beyond the low points. Today You'll learn: Real techniques for building rapport with customers, winning trust, and closing higher-value jobs by listening and being thorough in your proposals. How to handle disrespect and tough clients while maintaining your composure and not letting negative energy bleed into future opportunities. The role of faith and honoring God, especially during tough times, and how gratitude and surrender can shift your perspective. A reminder not to compare yourself to others, but to water your own grass, focus on your purpose, and trust the process. "You have everything that it takes. You have it inside of you." - Keith Kalfas Topics Covered 00:00:20 – Introduction: The Power of Grit Keith Kalfas introduces the theme of grit and acknowledges that while many people received the invitation to show up, only those with real determination did. He sets the stage for stories about personal growth and challenges. 00:01:04 – Business Struggles and Finding Focus Again Reflecting on the ups and downs of building a landscaping business, Keith Kalfas discusses losing momentum, dealing with discouragement, and reigniting the spark to "crush it" daily. 00:02:09 – A Year of Change: Systems, Hiring, and Sales A breakdown of how Keith Kalfas refined his business—hiring new staff, implementing CRM systems, perfecting sales processes, and improving client communication. 00:03:13 – On the Job: Quoting and Communicating with Customers Storytime: Keith Kalfas shares his customer quoting strategy, including building trust, itemizing scope, and presenting solutions that increase job value. 00:04:26 – Upselling and Turning Small Jobs into Big Wins How offering additional services and identifying new opportunities can dramatically increase job size and revenue. 00:06:14 – The Importance of Professionalism and Presence Tips on balancing being relaxed with showing you're a busy, in-demand professional—and why customers respond positively to organized, time-efficient service providers. 00:08:43 – Navigating Pricing and Customer Negotiations Keith Kalfas shares a tough story on maintaining composure and integrity during uncomfortable price negotiations, teaching listeners how to stand firm and know your value. 00:12:27 – Personal History: Overcoming Hardship and Loss Sharing personal challenges, including homelessness and the loss of his mother, Keith Kalfas demonstrates how grit is forged through real-life struggles and how it shapes character. 00:18:04 – The Demarcation Line: Choosing Who You Will Be A motivational segment about how to respond when life gets tough—choose grit, honor God, and don't let setbacks define you. 00:20:10 – Closing Big Jobs: Communication & Detailed Quotes A step-by-step breakdown of how Keith Kalfas closes high-ticket landscaping jobs with ultra-transparent, itemized quotes, speed, and clear client messaging. 00:28:36 – Managing Large Jobs: Ongoing Communication Learn why ongoing updates, daily text threads, and clear expectations keep clients satisfied and jobs running smoothly—even through unexpected construction delays. 00:32:46 – Handling Payment Issues & Staying Calm When final payment delays happen, Keith Kalfas shares the importance of staying calm and following up professionally, instead of reacting emotionally. 00:34:22 – Standing Up for Yourself: Defending Your Work Ethically Keith Kalfas describes a situation where a competitor tried to undermine his work, and how he asserted his expertise and maintained client relationships with integrity and "grit." 00:38:03 – Faith & Gratitude Through Difficult Losses Stories of loss—giving his dog CPR and the emotional aftermath—lead to advice on honoring God through both good times and hardships. 00:40:24 – The Power of Self-Talk & Comparison A closing reminder on speaking positivity, avoiding negative self-talk, and focusing on your unique path instead of comparing to others. Key Takeaways Hold onto your grit, even in adversity: When faced with challenging clients or situations, don't let frustration or disrespect shake your confidence or authenticity. Staying rooted in professionalism and self-respect—even when emotions run high—can turn obstacles into defining moments. Remember, your response shapes your reputation and future success. Honor clear communication and integrity in your work: Detailed transparency with clients (from itemized quotes to consistent updates) builds trust and can prevent misunderstandings. When complications arise—like unexpected delays or doubts from clients—stand firm in your value, remain honest, and educate patiently. Acting with integrity, even under pressure, pays off in the long run. Never compare your journey to others; walk your own path: Whether it's hearing about others crushing it or feeling behind, putting energy into self-comparison drains you and clouds your purpose. Focus on watering your own grass—invest in your unique mission and efforts. Fulfillment and growth come from staying true to your story, not chasing someone else's.

Rosie Okumura returns to the Mike Lenz VO Podcast with one of the most unusual (and inspiring) career paths in voiceover: she turned a deeply personal moment—when her mom was scammed—into a viral YouTube crusade that now reaches millions. In this episode, Rosie breaks down how she built her VO career in Los Angeles, how her "smart assistant" and voice-matching skills became a niche advantage, and how her live scam-baiting streams evolved into a powerful platform for educating viewers while exposing scammers through comedy and improvisation. You'll also hear the behind-the-scenes reality of internet fame—privacy risks, boundaries, and "parasocial" dynamics—and why (for Rosie) the bigger threat isn't always the scammers…it can be the wrong kind of follower attention. Then the conversation takes a sharp (and fascinating) turn into Rosie's newest chapter: launching a private investigation firm, IRL Investigations, where her VO skills unexpectedly translate into real-world investigative work—process serving, surveillance, fraud cases, and finding answers for clients who just want the truth. In this episode, we cover: The exact moment Rosie realized she'd gone viral—and what happened next How voice skills + improv can become a "live demo reel" for clients Staying safe online when your audience explodes The difference between "influencer" and "content creator" (and why it matters) Why Rosie believes you're never done learning—no matter how far you've come If you're a voice actor, creator, or someone building a multi-hyphenate career, Rosie's story is a masterclass in turning a curveball into momentum—and staying grounded while you grow.

John covers: First impressions of MTE and how the show has evolved beyond just PDR The growing presence of PPF, detailing, ceramic coatings, and auto reconditioning Why MTE now makes sense for 95% of technicians, not just hail techs Dent Olympics, booth strategy, and where the smart companies position themselves Running into technicians who got started from early training content — and why that matters The reality of being recognized at shows (the good and the exhausting) Why focus, energy management, and boundaries matter more than ever John also breaks down new tools he picked up at the show, including: The Bull Dual Slide Hammer Kit Why cold glue + slide hammer snapping is a game changer Tools and tabs that are on his radar next Lights, leverage, and why quality tools actually change outcomes This episode isn't about hype or selling — it's about perspective. Building something real. Staying focused. And understanding that the true fruit isn't attention — it's impact.
Launching a CNC shop young comes with no shortage of advice — but not all of it comes from experience earned the hard way. In this episode, we bring in Larry Robbins to speak directly to the next generation of shop owners. Larry has spent decades building companies, leading teams, and navigating growth, failure, and reinvention inside manufacturing. Instead of talking tools or tactics, this conversation focuses on the fundamentals that actually last. Larry shares lessons on planning before you leap, learning from mistakes without repeating them, and why humility, honesty, and relationships matter more than any single machine or strategy. Along the way, we explore how younger founders can use modern tools like AI without losing the human side of business, why budgeting and organization are non-negotiable, and how building value means thinking beyond short-term wins. This episode serves as a reset for anyone starting early — or starting over — in manufacturing. If you're thinking about ownership, leadership, or legacy, this one is worth slowing down for.

What if the greatest cost in your career isn't leaving… but staying? We talk often about the risks of walking away — from income, identity, and security. But far less about the quieter, cumulative cost of remaining in work you've already outgrown. In this episode of the Awakening Series, Dr Diane explores the rarely named truth behind professional comfort: why stability is often mistaken for wisdom, how the paycheck becomes the final justification, and what slowly erodes when misalignment is tolerated for too long. This is not an episode about impulsive change or dramatic exits. It's an invitation to honesty - before numbness becomes normal.

Forgiveness can feel impossible when someone has truly hurt you—especially when the offense was intentional, public, or deeply damaging. Today’s devotional doesn’t pretend forgiveness is easy. It acknowledges the very real emotions that rise up when we’ve been lied about, betrayed, or harmed, and it names what many of us experience: bitterness and grudges can quietly take root and begin to affect our walk with God. The devotional points us back to Jesus’ clear teaching in Matthew 6:14–15: forgiveness is not optional for the believer. God has freely forgiven us, not because we earned it, but because of Christ. That truth becomes the foundation for how we treat others. When we refuse to forgive, it doesn’t just strain relationships—it also creates distance in our fellowship with God, because unforgiveness keeps our hearts closed, guarded, and resistant to His work in us. We’re reminded that forgiving others is a pathway to freedom. It doesn’t erase the wrong or pretend the pain didn’t happen, but it releases bitterness and returns the weight of justice to God. Forgiveness is also an outward witness: when we forgive as Christ forgives, we display the grace we’ve received and reflect the love of Jesus to believers and unbelievers alike. Finally, the devotional emphasizes that forgiveness is sustained by closeness with God. Keeping communication open with Jesus—through prayer, repentance, and humility—helps us remember that we are finite, flawed people saved by grace. And because God continues to forgive us as we confess and grow, we can ask Him for the strength to forgive again and again. Main Takeaways Forgiveness can be deeply difficult, but Jesus calls believers to forgive as an act of obedience and love. Unforgiveness can foster bitterness and hinder your fellowship with God. God’s forgiveness is freely given through Christ; we extend forgiveness because we’ve received grace. Forgiveness releases the burden of resentment and allows you to walk in peace and freedom. Staying close to Jesus through prayer and repentance helps soften our hearts to forgive repeatedly. Today’s Bible Verse For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. - Matthew 6:14-15 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me to forgive others as you forgive me… Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read devotional at the links below.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Divorce doesn't just end a marriage—it can shatter a man's identity, confidence, and sense of direction. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with my close friend Ryan Michler, founder of Order of Man, to talk openly about what it really looks like to navigate divorce as a man—and come out stronger on the other side. Ryan shares his personal experience of being divorced for nearly three years, including the identity loss men feel when they're no longer husbands or full-time dads, the mistakes many men make by orienting their lives around their ex, and why healing starts when you make yourself the project. We also dive into rebuilding relationships with kids, handling co-parenting with integrity, resisting isolation, and why brotherhood is non-negotiable in seasons of separation. If you're divorced, separated, or supporting a man who is—this episode is required listening. Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode is for divorced and separated dads [2:35] Introducing Ryan Michler and his journey through divorce [3:37] Losing identity as a husband and father after divorce [4:59] Feeling like "less of a man" after separation [6:02] Why orienting your life around your ex is a mistake [7:21] Making yourself the project after divorce [9:01] Isolation, vices, and the danger of being alone too much [10:45] Why brotherhood accelerates healing [12:15] Journaling, self-regulation, and daily discipline [14:06] Rebuilding physical health and confidence [15:32] Redefining masculinity and self-worth [17:15] Being honest—but appropriate—with kids about divorce [19:02] Staying present in your kids' lives beyond "your time" [21:11] Customizing connection with each child [23:23] Never giving up on estranged relationships [25:08] Civility, boundaries, and co-parenting with integrity [29:02] Why consistency matters more than outcomes [31:22] Divorce Not Death program overview [34:40] The Men's Forge experience and why it's different [38:15] Bringing sons to Men's Forge and legacy building [41:41] What boys learn by watching their fathers lead [45:54] Final encouragement for men navigating divorce Five Key Takeaways Divorce shakes a man's identity, but it doesn't have to define his future. Healing begins when men stop orienting around their ex and start orienting around growth. Isolation amplifies pain, while brotherhood shortens the recovery curve. Consistency and integrity rebuild trust with kids, even when relationships feel strained. Men who make themselves the project come out stronger, healthier, and more grounded.

What happens when intelligence becomes cheap… and problem-solving becomes automated? In today's episode, Tim and Julie Harris go deep on one of the most important questions of our lifetime—and one every real estate agent must confront: What value does a human bring in a world where AI can out-think, out-analyze, and out-execute most professionals? We unpack the emerging reality of the commoditization of intelligence, and what it means when AI begins replacing humans who were historically valued for their IQ, reasoning skills, and ability to solve complex problems. Drawing on the perspectives of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and tech investor Cathie Wood, we explore: Will the world's best CEOs eventually be AI? What happens to industries built on rigid power structures that reward “IQ over intuition”? Can AI ever truly develop intuition—or is there something uniquely human… a divine spark? What's the irreplaceable value of a human real estate agent (or any service professional)? How long until humanoid robots stop being shocking—and start being normal? Will AI create mass unemployment… or a massive human renaissance? Are we on the edge of a historic surge in freedom, time, and quality of life? This episode will challenge the way you see the future—and help you position yourself to thrive, lead, and profit in the next era of real estate. If your 2026 plan is “hope,” you're already behind.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Daphne Fatter for a timely and honest conversation about what so many of us are navigating right now, as therapists, as parents, and as humans living in a polarized and chaotic time. We talk about nervous system overwhelm, numb and checked-out parts, news consumption, activism, community connection, and how to stay grounded when things feel "too much." We also touch on Daphne's new book: Integrating Internal Family Systems Interventions into EMDR Therapy. In this episode: Why so many of us feel numb, frozen, or checked out right now Normalizing survival responses and protectors during times of stress How polarization shows up both culturally and inside our own systems Staying curious about people with different political perspectives Finding ways to stay informed without burning out on the news Why connection, shared humanity, and community matter so much right now I get blended a few times in this episode and say, "I can't believe I said that." This is such a great example of how quickly any of us can blend with passionate and opinionated parts when navigating stressful topics. Be sure to check out my extended interview with Daphne over on Substack.

We're talking about what it looks like to actually care about the things of God again. Not just saying we do, but living in a way that shows it. It requires a hard and honest look at our lives, our habits, our relationships, and asking, “Is this pulling me closer to Jesus or further away?”We get into John 14 and 15 and the reminder that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that apart from Him, we can do nothing. Not “not much”… nothing. It's a wake-up call and an invitation at the same time. Staying connected to Him isn't just a nice Christian phrase. It's the only way to have a life that actually feels rooted, peaceful, and purposeful.We also talk about cleaning house in a practical way. Boundaries. Saying no. Stepping back from environments that make it harder to stay close to God. Being more protective of your inner circle and more passionate about time in the Word. Not in a legalistic way but in a life-giving way. And here's the shift I'm learning: if something falls away because you chose obedience, you didn't lose it. You made room for something better.

In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience. The Question: "I'm 22 and in my first long-term relationship with a partner I truly love. Everything is healthy and supportive, but I've noticed I've started deferring to his routines and preferences instead of my own. I miss parts of myself, like how I used to spend my free time and make plans just for me. How do I stay true to myself while still making room for my relationship?" What We Cover in This Episode: Losing yourself in a relationship. Why this is common in early long-term relationships and how it can happen even when the partnership is healthy and loving. Staying true to yourself while partnered. Why maintaining your own identity, routines, and desires takes intention in a committed relationship. People-pleasing and resentment.

How to recognize the hobbies, values, and personal time that have taken a backseat. Solo needs vs relationship needs. Understanding the difference between individual fulfillment and shared intimacy in a long-term relationship. How to communicate your needs. Practical language for talking to your partner about independence, boundaries, and personal time without blame. Following through with boundaries. Why awareness isn't enough and how to actually implement change in your daily life. Rebuilding a relationship with yourself. Why solo time, self-dates, and personal routines support emotional health and relationship satisfaction. Why this improves intimacy.
