Some musicians learn the blues. Others are raised inside it.Today I sit down with Doyle Bramhall II, one of the most distinctive voices in modern blues guitar and contemporary roots music. Raised in Texas as the son of legendary musician Doyle Bramhall, he grew up surrounded by the raw musical energy of the Austin music scene, absorbing the sounds of blues and rock from an early age.Doyle has built a remarkable career as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, collaborating with artists including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow, and Erykah Badu. His playing style is instantly recognizable, partly because he plays left-handed with a guitar strung for a right-handed player and flipped upside down.We dive into the fascinating origins of his musical journey, including the moment when a visit from someone special inspired him to take the guitar seriously. Doyle shares his insight into his personal work developing the Ultimate Breakthrough, a process designed to support energetic and consciousness shifts aligned with one's purpose.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:53] Growing up inside the Austin blues scene[17:03] How playing guitar upside down led to the Eric Clapton gig[38:54] From the Fabulous Thunderbirds to the Archangels[44:05] How Stevie's death sent Doyle into a two-year heroin spiral[57:51] What made Sly Stone one of the most innovative artists who ever lived[01:23:46] Staying sober while working with plant medicine[01:35:14] The chain of synchronicities that led Doyle from isolation to his life's calling[01:55:23] How Doyle's healing practice works and happens during a session[02:07:55] The three influences that shaped Doyle as a musicianRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Not Just For Sleep: Melatonin | The Master Molecule + Next Level Biohacks w/ Dr. John Lieurance | PodcastThe Future Of Chronic Pain & Injury Healing W/ Drs.

This week I'm joined by Tahnée Seagrave. Tahnée has been one of the defining riders of modern downhill for more than a decade. A World Cup winner, a world championship medallist, and one of the riders who helped push the level of women's racing to where it is today. But the last few seasons haven't been straightforward. Injuries, recovery, rebuilding confidence, changing bike sponsor and trying to perform at the very top of the sport while the level of competition keeps rising. So in this episode we sat down to talk about everything from the realities of rehab and returning to racing, to bike development challenges, the growth of the women's field, the next generation coming through, and what still motivates her after all these years at the top. There's a lot in here, from the physical side of racing to the mental side of staying in the sport long term. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Tahnée Seagrave.

Today, Neil challenges listeners to confront the lies they tell themselves. He argues that self-deception is a universal human trait that often keeps people stuck in unproductive patterns, whether in business or personal life. Neil introduces a set of five ‘brutal' coaching questions designed to strip away these illusions and reach the ‘bedrock of reality'. By practicing this intense self-accountability, tutors and coaches can finally make the difficult decisions, like ending stagnant partnerships or launching long-delayed projects, necessary to truly thrive. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone lies to themselves to confirm their own biases and stay ‘right', even when they are demonstrably wrong. Staying in failing relationships or unproductive business projects for years is often a direct result of avoiding the truth. A good mentor or coach accelerates progress by refusing to ‘pussyfoot around' your justifications and bringing ugly truths to the surface. Once you reach the reality of a situation, you gain the clarity needed to take decisive action, such as publishing a book or ending a stagnant partnership. BEST MOMENTS "I just want to tell you that you're lying. That you always lie." "We are the easiest person in the world to lie to. We can't really help ourselves; it's part of the human condition." "This takes real courage. This kind of self-accountability and self-exposure leaves us raw and vulnerable." "The mentee always, always already knew the answers. They just didn't want to think about them very much." "Peeling away one layer of your inner nonsense at every step until you hit the bedrock of reality."

In this episode of 'More Than Work,' host Rabiah Coon sits down with Mike Nellis, a Democratic strategist and creator of the Substack newsletter "Endless Urgency." Mike shares his compelling personal journey from struggling with depression and weight management to becoming a prominent voice in Democratic politics and digital strategy. He opens up about his philosophy of "endless urgency" - living every moment fully and intentionally - which emerged from his own experiences with suicidal ideation and a transformational journey from 600 pounds to a healthier, more engaged life.The conversation covers Mike's 20-year career in political strategy, his work on major campaigns including Bernie Sanders' 2016 run, and his role as a co-founder of "White Dudes for Harris." He discusses the current state of the Democratic Party, the importance of engaging with voters across the political spectrum, and why Democrats need to be more strategic about communicating with all Americans - including those who disagree with them. Mike also reflects on the challenges of the 2024 election, the need for Democrats to understand and wield power more effectively, and the critical importance of showing up in uncomfortable spaces to have difficult conversations.Throughout the episode, Mike emphasizes the value of building systems, staying present, and finding joy even during challenging political times. He shares mantras and advice for maintaining momentum, from "1% better every day" to being a "joyful warrior" in the face of adversity.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:31 What is "Endless Urgency"?01:47 Mike's journey: from 600 pounds to transformation09:11 What the Substack offers: No BS Democratic strategy14:28 How Mike got into political strategy21:28 Staying in the Democratic Party vs. going independent23:10 Kamala Harris and the 2024 election: what went wrong27:53 Strategic messaging and power40:11 Handling family members who voted for Trump42:25 Why cutting people out weakens democracy47:21 Going on Fox News and right-wing media52:55 "White Dudes for Harris" and organizing men56:07 Mantras and advice: 1% better every day58:40 Being a "joyful warrior"65:23 Who inspires Mike right nowNote from Rabiah (host):Mike Nellis and I quickly found out we have more in common than we could have realized! You'll hear about what when you listen. And please do listen because Mike is doing the hard work that is so needed right now which the work of speaking out against the Trump administration and working to get Democrats elected. He is doing it his way and after our conversation I have even more respect for him. Honestly, Mike is doing a version of what I would have done if I'd had the courage. I've been volunteering for various Democratic candidates, the general party and with non-partisan voter registration for years but he pursued the work as a career. What he is doing really is More Than Work. Mike was very open and honest so I've added a trigger warning to this episode. It is that kind of honestly I like to approach conversations with too and I am grateful that he made it through his early battles and is here today. Enjoy our conversation. And check your voter registration while you do.+++++Find MikeWebsite: https://endlessurgency.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mike_nellis+++++More than Work Social Media: @morethanworkpod (Facebook, Instagram) and @rabiahcomedy (TikTok)Please review and follow anywhere you get podcasts.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Carl Anka, Jacqui Oatley and Dominic King to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with Saturday's Six Nations clash between England and Italy. England suffered an historic defeat in Rome, losing to Italy for the first time after 32 previous attempts by the Azzurri. Does this shock result mark the beginning of the end for Steve Borthwick?We then turn to the start of the new Formula 1 season. Our reporter Craig Slater joins us from Melbourne to discuss just how entertaining the opening Grand Prix was, with George Russell taking the win. Then it's on to the weekend's FA Cup action, with Max Dowman lighting up the One Call Stadium with an exciting performance, becoming the FA Cup's youngest-ever player as Arsenal advanced to the next round with a 2–1 win over Mansfield. With Arsenal still in all four competitions, we ask just how realistic a quadruple might be. Carl says he'll eat his hat — and his shoe — if Arsenal pull it off.Staying with the FA Cup, City came from behind to beat Newcastle 3–1 at St James' Park and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals and Dominic thinks Pep will end Arsenal this season with more trophies than Arteta. And it was Hollywood drama at the Racecourse Ground, where Chelsea beat ten-man Wrexham 4–2 after extra time.Next, it's another win for England's Lionesses, who beat Iceland 2–0 in a dominant display, peppering the goal with numerous chances. But with Spain in their World Cup qualifier group and only one automatic spot up for grabs, do the Lionesses need to be more ruthless in front of goal?We close out with a hot debate on Arsenal this season. With strong set pieces, own goals going their way, scrappy corner battles and rock-solid defending—but a noticeable lack of attacking flair—are Mikel Arteta's side boring to watch?Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

We all long to know if our lives matter and if anyone sees us when there is no applause.Pastor Justin shares genuine stories of struggle and transformation, along with practical tools for staying connected to Christ, even when unseen. You will hear how to find purpose in the ordinary, stay rooted in God's love, and make peace with your place in His bigger plan.Scriptures ReferencedMatthew 26:6-13; Romans 12:1-2; 2 Peter 3:9Key InsightsMost ministry happens without recognition, in ordinary moments.Your unseen faithfulness has purpose and creates lasting impact.Asking if your life matters is deeply valid—God sees you and values your roots.Human praise is fickle, but God's approval is steady and essential.You do not have to be the main character; God's story is bigger than your own.Your choices matter and can be used for God's glory and others' freedom.Staying rooted means trusting God's process even when growth is hidden.Resources Referenced:How Deep Will You Go?

Staying the course when things are tough is a skill. I think you either have it or you don't. Chris Luxon will not get rolled, but he may quit. That would be a mistake of epic proportions. What would drive me, if I was him, would be rational thought. 1) This election is not about personality, it's about economic management. On that the Government are tracking well. 2) The internal polling within the National Party is fine. It does not reflect the Curia poll that the media made so much of. The unfortunate thing about Friday's pre-hyped release is it came at the same time Luxon had had a bad week on the war. That week by the way, was nowhere near as bad as some made it out to be. But the two events came together for a good week-end headline. 3) This would be the bit that would focus my mind - it's only Hipkins. Seriously, you're only lining up Labour as an opponent. On the economy. The people who wrecked the place two and a bit years ago are asking the voter to come back and do a bit more of it. You don't believe me? Read Thomas Coughlan's piece with Barbara Edmonds. 4) Even if you take the poll seriously, which you shouldn't. There is a one seat shift, so it's within a margin of error. 5) The economy will save you. You campaigned on a turnaround and the turnaround is real. Given we are voting on economics, the National leader is not a deal-breaker. If you are voting on interest rates and jobs, does Chris Bishop or Erica Stanford really change your view of your lot? They are good people and good talents, but they aren't game-changers and they won't get you a job any more than Luxon will. 6) Having done the hard yards, why quit now? The prize is just down the road and with a second term perceptions change. 7) The coalition as an operation is a success. Three parties have, and do, work well together. It's MMP in action. The alternative? Hipkins talking about a minority Government, a Green Party and extremism and a Māori Party that will not be back in anywhere near the numbers they have now. It's not a combo. This must all sit heavily with Luxon. How could it not? But that is what leadership is about. That is what you chased and bought into. If you think you will fail you will automatically be successful.

You've started putting in the work toward mental wellness. You've even made some progress. But maybe you're worried it won't last. We're learning how to hold onto that mental strength and healing for good.

Travis Chappell is a former door-to-door salesman turned founder, investor, speaker, and top-ranked podcast host who's built multiple income streams through sales, media, and tech startups. He's best known for creating Guestio, a platform that connects creators with high‑level guests, and for helping entrepreneurs learn how to increase their earning potential through practical, real‑world lessons. In this solo episode, Travis breaks down how one simple mindset shift—staying open to opportunities others ignore—directly led to his first six‑figure year and set the foundation for everything he's built since. On this episode we talk about: Why most people instantly shut down anything that looks like a “pitch” and how that costs them real money The door-to-door solar job that showed Travis how a closed mind can keep people stuck with higher bills and fewer options How a random business card on his front door led to a $10,000 signing bonus and his first six‑figure income The difference between being desperate and being selectively open as you gain more success and more inbound opportunities The simple mental rule Travis uses to stay curious, hear people out, and still protect his time and focus Top 3 Takeaways A closed mind is often more expensive than a bad decision—refusing to even hear an offer can quietly cost you life‑changing opportunities. In the early stages of your career, saying “yes” more often is a strategic way to expand your skill set, network, and upside; later, you earn the right to become more selective. Staying open doesn't mean being naive; it means listening, asking smart questions, and then making decisions based on alignment with your goals, not reflexive fear or cynicism. Notable Quotes “I made a vow to myself that I would never remain completely closed off to the ideas that other people had to share with me.” “The only way to get to the point where you can say no to almost everything is to first go through a season where you say yes to almost everything.” “Nothing is more expensive than a closed mind.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell​ Other (Website): https://travischappell.com​ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

What Can a Cocktail Teach Us About Curiosity and Creativity? At first glance, documenting Negronis around the world might sound like a frivolous hobby. But could a simple cocktail become a vehicle for curiosity, experimentation and creative thinking? On this episode, I speaks with geopolitical strategist Marc A Ross about an unusual passion project: ordering and documenting Negronis wherever he travels. What began as a casual habit has evolved into a magazine-style project called 50 Negronis, capturing cocktails from elegant bars to chaotic airport lounges. Along the way, the project has revealed something deeper about travel, culture and the value of experimentation. But as the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear this episode isn't really about cocktails. Instead it's about how curiosity leads to discovery, why creative side projects matter, and how experimentation can enrich both our professional and personal lives. Curiosity Starts With Small ExperimentsMarc's Negroni project began almost accidentally. While travelling frequently for his work as a geopolitical strategist, he started ordering Negronis and photographing them. What made the idea interesting wasn't a search for the perfect drink.Instead, Marc documented the entire experience — the great cocktails, the mediocre ones, and the truly terrible ones. That curiosity created a lens through which to experience the world differently. Bars became places for conversation, experimentation and discovery, and the project grew into a collection of stories from cities across the globe. Creativity Through PlayA key theme of the conversation is the importance of playfulness. Marc deliberately avoids treating the project too seriously. The photos are simple smartphone snapshots, the documentation is intentionally loose, and the goal isn't perfection.That approach mirrors how many creative projects evolve; by removing the pressure to produce something “definitive,” the project becomes an experiment. And in the process, it becomes easier to create, learn and iterate. Authenticity, Communication and Personality We also explore how side projects can sharpen professional skills. Marc argues that communicators, leaders and even politicians should experiment creatively and share aspects of their personality. Authenticity matters. Whether it's documenting cocktails, running unconventional events, or experimenting with new formats, people connect more with ideas that feel genuine. Sometimes the most powerful way to communicate is simply to follow an idea that genuinely interests you.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – A cocktail as a conversation starterIntroduction; why Negronis might seem like an unusual topic for a podcast about human behaviour and yet… 02:00 – Recording in Sundance, UtahMarc describes the Brigadoon gathering and its focus on conversation rather than traditional conference formats. 04:00 – The origins of the NegroniMarc explains the history of the cocktail and why it remains a classic drink. 07:00 – The “50 Negronis” projectA disappointing airport Negroni sparks the idea of documenting the drinks Marc encounters while travelling. 10:00 – Capturing cocktails around the worldMarc explains how he photographs the drinks and records the ingredients when possible. 13:00 – Cocktail culture and experimentationThey discuss how bartenders experiment with ingredients and create new variations. 18:00 – Why the details don't matterThe project becomes less about recipes and more about stories, places and experiences. 22:00 – Learning through experimentationChristian reflects on how creative side projects can help people learn and explore new ideas. 30:00 – Lessons for communicators and politiciansMarc explains why authenticity and personality matter in leadership. 37:00 – Staying curious and having funThe conversation turns to persistence, creativity and the value of pursuing ideas simply because they're interesting. 42:00 – Where to follow Marc's workMarc shares details about Brigadoon events and his geopolitical newsletter.

Tyler Reddick has done it again — three straight wins to start the season. In Season 5, Episode 6 of The Backstretch Podcast, Heather Williams and former Cup Series crew chief Chris Carrier break down what Reddick's dominant start really means for the championship picture — and whether the rest of the garage is already feeling the pressure. We also dive into: What Matters / What Doesn't The debut of 750 horsepower at COTA — what actually changed? All of the Joe Gibbs Racing cars and two of the four Hendrick Motorsports cars sitting outside the playoff picture — early concern or March overreaction? Turn 5 – Five Minutes with Joey Logano Joey joins the show to talk Reddick's hot streak, the early playoff picture, the 750HP package, and what Phoenix demands from drivers. Say What? The Alex Bowman driver switch — what really goes into a move like that? Staying out at the end of Stage 2 for points — smart strategy or short-term gamble? Pit Notes Chris Carrier breaks down Phoenix — restarts, tire wear, pit road traps, and why discipline wins at this track.

Artificial intelligence is already changing real estate. But what happens when it goes much further than anyone expects? In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris present their “Real Estate Singularity” series — a thought experiment exploring how AI could fundamentally reshape the housing industry. Imagine a world where buyers no longer call agents. Instead, their AI life assistant knows everything about them — their finances, lifestyle, family plans, commute preferences, and long-term goals — and uses that data to decide where they should live. In that world, the AI doesn't just search listings. It designs life plans. And when a physical showing is needed, the AI simply hires a licensed human to complete the task. In this episode, Tim and Julie discuss: • The real meaning of the Real Estate Singularity • Why AI may control the consumer relationship in real estate • The potential collapse of “average” real estate as a safe investment • Why location, lifestyle, and community may become more valuable than ever • How agents can remain essential in an AI-driven economy The future of real estate may look very different. But one thing will not change: people still trust people. The agents who survive the next decade will be those who build relationships, community, and trust — the things technology can't replicate.

OpenAI's GPT-5.4 is the newest state-of-the-art AI model. But for how long? Sam Altman and team have to fend off Dario Amodei's Anthropic in more ways than one.  GPT-5.4 beats humans at computer use, hallucinates 33% less, and costs half what Opus 4.6 does for coding. Meanwhile Anthropic just got blacklisted by the Pentagon, Claude shot to number one in the App Store, and Dario went on CBS looking like he aged five years.

Markets, Middle East Escalation, and Global Risk: Subscriber Q&A on Investing, Relocation, and Ethics Doug and Matt answer subscriber questions, focusing first on an escalating conflict involving Iran and the Gulf that they view as extremely serious despite a muted market response; Doug says stock and bond markets are overpriced, warns of a potential crash, criticizes demands like "unconditional surrender," questions U.S. involvement (including insuring ships in the Strait of Hormuz), and expects global economic spillovers, noting Gulf vulnerabilities such as desalination, food supply chains, and remittances. They then discuss Paraguay's unusual culture and land-based investment opportunities, dividend investing (noting oil stocks), practicalities of living/investing in Uruguay and Argentina (including taxes and policy changes under Milei), resource investing diligence, when to sell gold/silver, IPO lockup/exit issues, storing metals abroad, and conclude with a discussion of ethical decision-making frameworks and concerns about political leadership's morality. 00:00 Market Reaction to Iran 01:06 Overpriced Markets Warning 02:50 Gulf Risks and Dubai 04:08 Unconditional Surrender Debate 05:12 Strait Insurance Plan 06:49 Who Benefits From War 08:27 Regional Spillover Effects 10:21 Supply Chains and Remittances 13:07 War as Market Catalyst 13:46 Paraguay Living and Culture 16:22 Paraguay Investing Basics 17:55 Dividend Stocks and Oil 18:26 Uruguay Plan B Logistics 20:45 Tungsten Fund Question 21:52 When to Sell Gold 23:00 Selling Shares After IPO 23:54 Iran Travel and Motives 24:12 Missed Iran Polo Trip 24:40 What the Iran War Is About 26:40 Buying a Farm in Argentina 29:01 Argentina Export Taxes Explained 29:45 Why Gold Stocks Fall Out of Favor 31:18 Is This the Last Gold Bull 33:28 Staying in the US Safely 35:27 Replacing Income After Selling 37:30 Next High Ground Novel Update 38:21 Getting Physical Gold in Uruguay 38:57 War Impact on Mining Stocks 40:41 Ethical Reasoning and Consequences 46:19 Politics Morality and Wrap Up

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm joined by Artem Fokin, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Caro-Kann Capital, to reflect on more than a decade of running a concentrated small- and micro-cap strategy focused on finding multibagger opportunities. Artem shares how his bottoms-up approach centers on deeply understanding a handful of businesses, engaging thoughtfully with management teams while maintaining the discipline to stay objective—what he calls being “friendly, but not friends.” We also discuss why due diligence should extend beyond the CEO to the entire leadership bench, why microcaps remain one of the best training grounds for investors despite structural market changes, and how avoiding intellectual rigidity—while embracing tools like AI for research—can help investors continuously adapt and improve their decision-making. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.

"I am the true vine," Jesus said. "Abide with me." My friends in recovery really get this concept of abiding - finding home on the way. It's captured in Step 11 : “Seek - through prayer and meditation - to improve your conscious contact with God as you understand God, praying only for knowledge of God's will and the power to carry it out.” Staying connected is how you stay on the wagon. Constant, conscious, mindful contact: If you don't stay with it, you won't stay with it. Be daily aware - be hour-by-hour aware - sometime minute by minute aware - that the source of your wellbeing, the source of your life is God, supplying what you need.

In this week's Frankly, Nate begins a new series called "Staying Human," which focuses on what he sees as a precondition for everything else: recovering a sense of personal agency. He opens against the backdrop of Operation Epic Fury and the broader turbulence of 2026, but rather than offering geopolitical analysis, he turns inward toward a question that has been reshaping his theory of change: why does growing awareness of the more-than-human predicament so often produce paralysis rather than action? Nate traces the gap between awareness and agency through several layers. He draws on the science of learned helplessness and self-efficacy research to explain how nervous systems learn whether effort leads to outcomes, and how a digital environment designed to fragment attention can train people to stop investing in their own follow-through. He frames this not as a personal failing but as a predictable consequence of living inside a Superorganism that advertises choice while eroding the conditions for it. Rather than prescribing a program, Nate shares practices he is experimenting with himself: voluntary speed bumps before reaching for a screen, small kept promises that rebuild self-trust, and protecting even one hour of intentional time. He argues that reclaiming agency at the individual level is not sufficient to address our entire predicament, but it is a precondition for the community-level and institutional work required to make the future better than the default. Where in your life has awareness of the world's problems triggered overwhelm or even paralysis? What is one kept promise, however small, that might begin to rebuild your sense of traction? And if agency is a precondition for everything that comes next, what would it look like to treat it as something you practice rather than something you wait to feel?   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

When Uncommon Becomes Destiny: Faith, Discipline, and Divine Alignment Transform Your Calling into PurposeGuest: Minister Bernard Marrow Host: Julie RigaWhat happens when you stop trying to fit in and start owning the uncommon path God placed in you? In this episode of Stay On Course, host Julie Riga sits down with Minister Bernard Marrow, founder of By Faith We Good Ministry Inc., musician, author, and motivational speaker. Together they explore how divine alignment, unshakeable faith, and purposeful community can transform isolation into destiny. If you have ever felt too different, too early, or too overlooked, this conversation is for you.When Uncommon Becomes Destiny: Faith, Discipline, and Divine Alignment Transform Your Calling into PurposeMinister Bernard Marrow is the founder and president of By Faith We Good Ministry Inc., a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit that spreads the gospel of Jesus Christ, feeds families in need every month, and sows into the purpose of others.

He hosts the By Faith We Good Podcast and Radio Show, which includes a Faith and Finance segment covering investments, budgeting, and money management.Fun Fact: Minister Bernard's favorite dish is seafood pasta, known in Italian as frutti di mare.Key TopicsDivine Alignment and Ownership Recognizing your God-given sweet spot and refusing to operate in someone else's lane. You always win when you are in full alignment with your divine purpose and destiny. Comparing yourself to others will only pull you off course.Discipline Through the Process God's timing differs from your timeline. Staying focused, equipped, and inspired even when results are delayed is what separates those who eventually manifest greatness from those who give up just before the breakthrough arrives.Purposeful Community and Legacy Being deeply intentional about who you share your vision with, and transforming seasons of isolation into community-supported, purpose-driven progress toward a greater calling and a lasting legacy.Memorable Quotes"Everything that's comfortable ain't safe.""When God calls you, he calls you to do what's uncommon. He wants us to stand out, to be great, bold, and fearless.""No doesn't mean never. Not yet doesn't mean not ever. If you don't give up, the doors will open.""You can't share everything with everybody. Trust God to connect you with the right people."Key TakeawaysOwn Your Uncommonness - You were not made to fit in. Your uniqueness is your superpower. Take full ownership of who God created you to be.Trust the Process - Stay committed to the alignment and manifestation will follow. Keep going even when you cannot see the finish line.Comfort Is Not Safety - The familiar can be the enemy of the extraordinary. Step out of your comfort zone in faith.Guard Your Vision - Not everyone deserves access to what God placed inside you. Be wise about who you allow into your inner circle.No Is Not the End - Rejection and delay are part of the journey, not the destination.

Simon Swords founded Fundipedia after starting in a backyard shed building bespoke software. Originally a custom development shop, his firm built a data governance platform for major buy-side asset managers including HSBC, Barclays, and Legal & General. Over time, Fundipedia evolved into a high-retention enterprise SaaS platform with strong net revenue retention and Rule of 40 performance. Simon navigated long consultative sales cycles, regulatory tailwinds, and a tightly networked financial services market to build a durable recurring revenue engine. After turning down an initial offer, Simon grew ARR further and ultimately sold in 2024 at approximately 10x ARR. He exited fully, used ChatGPT extensively in diligence, and now reflects on endurance, discipline, and surviving long enough for luck to compound. Key Takeaways Survive First — Don't make a mistake that kills you or the business. Staying alive creates the opportunity for luck to compound. Enterprise Patience — Two-year sales cycles are normal at the top end. Persistence and reputation matter more than speed. Rule Of 40 Discipline — Strong growth plus profitability gives founders leverage in exit timing and valuation. Problems Over Product — Founders obsess over product; buyers care about solving painful, expensive problems. Build To Exit Cleanly — Structure the company so it runs without you before you start acquisition conversations. Quote from Simon Swords, Founder of Fundipedia "I think the most important thing is not to make a mistake that kills you or the business. While you're in the arena and you've not been taken out yet, dragged off by the hyenas or lions, whatever they used back in the Roman days, you've still got a chance to make something magical happen. "You do something stupid, kill the business, kill your reputation, you're done. Entrepreneurs hate the word luck. I do feel luck. I am lucky. Of course I'm lucky. I have to be lucky. You make your own luck.  "But I'll tell you what I didn't do. I didn't make a mistake that killed me or the business and the entire way through. Even when I was going through hell, never, no matter how neurotic or anxious or all the negative kind of traits you can imagine would have flown through me. I never made a mistake that killed the business."

Patrick Mueller sees opportunity in reshoring, energy, and fixed-income amid market volatility. He expects inflation to keep increasing, tied to the rise in oil prices. Between that and the shock February jobs report, he thinks the Fed is going to make some moves. He warns that we won't see the pain from these recent moves hit for 3-6 months. “I wouldn't have too much tied to tech right now,” he adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

At the beginning of your real estate career, growth feels simple. More calls create more appointments. More appointments create more closings. More effort creates more income. The formula feels obvious. Until it stops working. At a certain point, many productive agents hit a strange phase where working harder doesn't seem to produce the same results. Income becomes less predictable. Schedules become chaotic. Opportunities feel harder to control. And the instinctive reaction is usually the same: “Maybe I just need more leads.” So agents buy more Zillow leads. More portal ads. More marketing. But instead of scaling their business, they accidentally scale their stress. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain the mindset shift that separates agents who stall from those who continue growing year after year. You'll discover why productive agents stop chasing activity and start designing businesses built around: Listing leverage Predictable pipelines Conversion improvement System-driven growth You'll also learn why the most successful real estate professionals stop asking: “How do I get more business?” …and start asking a much better question: “How do I make this business more predictable and less dependent on me?” This conversation reveals why real estate growth eventually shifts from hustle to strategy — and why agents who understand that shift create far more stability, income, and long-term freedom.

Hey friends, it's Amy. Today's episode is a real one, because it's about what to do when life shows up. You know what I mean — when your day doesn't go according to plan, when a curve ball hits, when everything feels out of rhythm, and you're trying to hold it together while still doing what you're called to do.I'm recording this after a whirlwind emergency trip to Florida. We spent an insane amount of time in the car, got my parents back to Iowa, and it really made me think: how do you stay steady when life feels out of control?Here's one of the biggest tools I've used: disciplines.When life is chaotic, routine becomes an anchor. And I saw it in real time — the day I kept my morning routine, I could handle an 16–18 hour travel day with way more ease. The day I didn't? I felt myself spiraling.But then I go deeper — what do you do when you are doing the right things… and you're still not seeing results?You're eating healthy, but the numbers don't change.You're working hard, but the business isn't growing.You're trying in your marriage, but it still feels stuck.You're creating, but nobody is clapping.That's where the real work happens.Because the goal isn't just the outcome — it's who you're becoming in the process. Mental toughness. Spiritual strength. Endurance. Work ethic. Stability. A muscle that can flex without a cheering squad.This episode is a reminder that resistance is often a signpost — not to stop — but to keep going. And if you're tempted to quit, I want you to hear me: the golden life is built in the “show up anyway” seasons.Keep doing the thing.Your future self will thank you.

What happens when life takes away the identity you built everything on, and you are forced to discover who you really are? In this episode of Soul Elevation, I was honored to sit down with Jannecke Øinæs, the beloved host and founder of Wisdom From North, an early pioneering spirituality interview platforms on YouTube. Jannecke shares her deeply personal story of going from child star and performer to losing her voice, hitting rock bottom, and beginning a profound awakening journey that ultimately led her to launch Wisdom From North in 2012.  @Wisdomfromnorth   We explore how depression can become an initiatory doorway, how the shadow can guide you into your purpose, and why self love is not just a spiritual concept but a foundation that changes everything. Jannecke also opens up about spiritual experiences like lucid dreaming and out of body exploration, and why she eventually realized that too much focus on the mystical can become a form of spiritual bypassing if it disconnects you from real life, real feelings, and embodied truth. This conversation is for you if you have ever felt like you are not spiritual enough, if you have judged yourself for not doing spirituality the "right" way, or if you are navigating a season where truth is coming to the surface in your personal life and in the world. Jannecke brings warmth, grounded wisdom, and a refreshing honesty that helps you return to your own inner compass. In this episode, we talk about Jannecke's journey from child star to spiritual guide Losing her voice and finding a deeper voice Depression as a catalyst for awakening Shadow work and meeting the "trolls" on the hero's journey Self love versus self confidence and why it matters Authenticity and speaking your truth even when it feels scary Spiritual experiences and why they can become a distraction Staying grounded in the body through nature movement and real life Anger boundaries and the difference between acceptance and passivity Why multiple truths can exist and how beliefs evolve over time Finding your life mission through joy service and natural gifts If you enjoyed this conversation, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who would feel uplifted by it.

Never trusting her voice could add value, host Sarah Jakes Roberts dedicates this solo episode to women who made history by daring to use theirs. Staying quiet after you've been wronged or when you've done wrong may seem safe. But how many of you know that pain is never really silent? It longs for an audible expression. So much so that SJR looks back at women in history who had every reason to remain silent — we're talking Sojourner Truth, Tarana Burke, and the Samaritan Woman at the Well — all to give you the language you need. To all the quiet ones holding back, imagine your voice going rogue: what would it say, who would it move, and how would it impact the world?

Things have gotten very surreal in the dark corners of the internet. AI-generated prophets are preaching jihad in Facebook groups, Minecraft servers host digital caliphates, and school shooting fandoms gather to study their heroes and plot how to up beat their score. It's a double bill on this episode of Angry Planet as two experts from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a nonprofit that studies and works to mitigate violent extremists, discuss the brave new world of online-born violence.First up is Milo Comerford, the co-author of a study about nihilistic violence.
