Derek Grant explores spiritual sovereignty – controlling your inner kingdom of choices, beliefs, and frequency to live from the inside out rather than being governed by external forces. Recognizing how we unconsciously give away our energy is key to reclaiming our authentic power and living in alignment.• Energy parasites can attach to your field when you allow others to drain you without consent• Physical symptoms like back pain may indicate your energy is being depleted• Sovereignty requires courage to establish boundaries and say no when necessary• Superman provides a powerful metaphor for choosing your own path despite programming• Every "yes" that costs you peace is actually saying "no" to your power• Stepping into sovereignty means taking responsibility for your energy allocation• Those who challenged your sovereignty the most were helping you claim it through soul contracts• Leading from sovereignty gives others permission to step into their power• Alignment comes as a package deal with sovereignty, making manifestation effortless• Taking back your power is not about blame but about conscious awarenessRemember that you are not just your body, religion, or societal labels, but a sovereign being with infinite potential. Your journey is about remembering this truth.Book Your DG Mindset Experience Retreat Now Book DG Mindfest 2025 in Miami, FL September 20th

Working Across Differences in Politics: "I can work with people, and still it goes back to what we were saying earlier. I can work with people and still disagree with them on things, but maybe I need to." - Scott SweitzerWe sit down with Scott Sweitzer—a longtime political consultant and entrepreneur whose journey bridges the worlds of politics and microbrewing. Scott shares how a simple night of beer tasting with friends led him to co-found a brewery, while continuing his 25-year career navigating the highs and lows of American politics.We talk about the powerful emotions that drive today's increasingly divided political arena, explore the complexities of building bridges across differences, and talk about how tribalism in both politics and everyday life can separate us—or bring us together. Scott also opens up about his approach to helping candidates connect authentically with voters through storytelling and reflects on the personal challenges of staying grounded and empathetic in a profession marked by skepticism and heated debate.Plus, we touch on the impact of social media, the importance of curiosity, and how skills from entrepreneurship and consulting translate to everyday relationships. Whether you're interested in leadership, emotional intelligence, or are just a curious soul, this conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and some practical advice—including a heartfelt reminder that failure is part of learning and growth.Here are our top three takeaways:Curiosity Opens Doors: Scott emphasized the power of asking questions and being curious, both for personal growth and bridging divides. Stepping outside our echo chambers and seeking different perspectives can reshape our understanding and foster empathy.Emotional Connection is Key: Whether it's a political campaign or launching a new product, Scott underscored the importance of building genuine emotional connections. People are far more likely to buy in—to ideas, products, or candidates—when they feel heard and understood.Failure is Part of the Process: Scott's advice for entrepreneurs? Be willing to fail—and most importantly, learn from those failures. Growth comes from trying, stumbling, reflecting, and trying again.Key Moments05:12 The Cost of Political Tribalism09:23 Purposeful Living and Community Impact11:40 Rethinking Affirmative Action Globally14:56 Value of Elected Officials18:00 U.S. Government's Poor Decision-Making23:21 Collaborating Despite Differences24:25 Familiarity Breeds Skepticism28:07 "Emotional Connection in Politics"32:03 Profound Insight on Bill Maher35:33 "Escaping Reality and Its Risks"38:45 "Power of Personal Testimony"41:06 Embrace Failure to Succeed44:31 Overlooking Self-Empathy's Importance48:07 The Challenges of Personal GrowthIn each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Stepping into a new leadership role often starts with excitement and ambition—but what happens when reality doesn't match your expectations?In this raw and honest episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen shares how to navigate those destabilizing moments when the shine of a new role wears off, and things get messy. Whether you're two months or a year into the job, this episode is your playbook. It's time to stop waiting for perfection and step into your power, right in the middle of the mess.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify before you catastrophize. Have calm, fact-based conversations with your boss or HR to understand what changed and what's expected now.2. Your tolerance for ambiguity matters. Knowing whether you thrive in structure or can lead through chaos is key to making intentional decisions.3. Messy = Opportunity. Leading when it's unclear is your chance to stand out—ask yourself, “What would a VP or department head do?”4. Take the lead on expectations. If you're frustrated with your team's performance or unclear communication, it's time to step up and clarify expectations—again if needed. 5. Make a plan, not a panic. Decide how long you're willing to stay, what you need to feel grounded, and what action you'll take. That decision alone brings relief."You can control how you show up and how you want to be, act, and what your attitude is when things are messy." — Karen GombaultWhether you're wondering if this is the right job or realizing it's time to take more ownership, this episode helps you see that leadership is forged in these exact moments. Mess doesn't mean you've failed—it means you're growing.

David Brenner is the COO of TIFF Investment Management, an OCIO for nonprofit organizations. Stepping into the COO role of an established manager takes a unique set of skills so I turned to David for his insight. We discuss the common challenges of assessing culture, talent, and legacy; and the importance of timing of when to listen and when to take action. We then turn to David's perspective on his four pillars framework as TIFF shifts from what he calls going from TIFF 1.0 to TIFF 2.0. We talk about the role of AI and automation and why data transformation plays a critical role in everything that they do.

Send us a textWhat happens when life-saving funding disappears? How do healthcare systems adapt? Can domestic resources fill the gap? The sudden freeze of US aid disbursements in January sent shockwaves through healthcare systems across Africa. Six months later, what was once a policy announcement has turned into a devastating reality for millions who depend on life-saving HIV and TB services.Stepping into the aftermath of these cuts, we explore the human cost behind the headlines, through conversations with those on the frontlines. Today we hear from Dr. Limpho Ramangoaela, who witnesses patients presenting later with preventable complications. George Mbombi, a technical advisor who lost his job in the cuts, describes how youth support programs have collapsed. Tabita Ntuli from UNAIDS shares how people living with HIV have been affected.Support the showFollow the show on:Twitter: @RootofscipodInstagram: @Rootofscipod YouTube: The Root Of The Science PodcastFacebook: The Root of The Science Podcast LinkedIn: The Root Of The Science PodcastWebsite

This week, I unplugged. After a full social media detox, my screen time dropped by 84% — but what I gained was far more meaningful than a number. I realized I wasn't being intentional with my time, and it made me ask a hard question: Why did I feel the need to fill the quiet with other people's lives?Even though I wasn't mindlessly scrolling, I was still consuming — checking, watching, and staying connected in ways that slowly pulled me away from being present in my own life. Stepping back created space for deeper presence with my daughter, the excitement to volunteer and write fetal echo board questions, and reconnect with the self-care rituals that already ground me — acupuncture, chiropractic, lifting, and hot yoga — not as a to-do list, but as a sacred space to reset.I began integrating the wisdom of The Daily Dad, showing up not just as a parent, but as a fully engaged human in my daughter's world. I reached out to friends through real conversations, ones that felt slower, deeper, and more nourishing.Join me as I reflect on what happens when we consciously disconnect to fully reconnect with ourselves, our people, and our purpose.

God is a good God who has so many great things for each of us.But WE need to boldly push past resistance, and take our promiseJoshua was now leading the Israelites, and God told him it was time to get up, be courageous, and to take the Promised Land!

In this episode, host Bradley explores the metaphor of the "genius octopus with a thousand arms" - a vivid image representing business owners who are spread too thin across multiple roles and responsibilities. Drawing inspiration from tech YouTuber Marquez Brownlee's approach to delegation, Bradley presents a strategic framework for systematically removing yourself from day-to-day operations.The phrase "genius with a thousand hands" describes smart business owners who are running around trying to handle everything themselves. Bradley transforms this into the octopus metaphor, where each arm represents a different role or responsibility in the business. The solution? Cut off those arms one at a time through strategic delegation and hiring.The Replacement Ladder FrameworkBased on Dan Martell's concept from "Buy Back Your Time," this framework provides a strategic sequence for removing yourself from business operations:Admin Tasks - Get an Executive Assistant.Delivery - Remove yourself from service delivery.Marketing - Delegate marketing responsibilities.Sales - Step away from sales activities.Leadership - Eventually replace yourself in leadership roles.Stop being the genius octopus with a thousand arms. Use the replacement ladder framework to systematically "cut off" your arms by delegating responsibilities in the right order, allowing you to build a business that runs without you being involved in every aspect of daily operations.Stepping away from being the "genius octopus" starts with your mindset.

In this finale, Shayna Zaid explores the spaces in between—the quiet, the pause, the breath that gives meaning to every note. She speaks to what it means to honor stillness, and how the rhythm between the notes has shaped her journey—not just as a musician, but as an artist, a soul in motion, and a woman attuned to the sacred hush that speaks volumes. HE dives into her evolving relationship with music—from the first spark of inspiration to the moment she chooses to press pause—and how her writing process and emotional rhythm move intuitively through both chaos and calm. It's about making space for what matters. Stepping away from the noise became a way of listening more deeply to herself. A moment to breathe, feel, and remember that even in silence, there is song. This is what happens when attention is given to the space, to the self, and to the rhythm carried within.Support this podcast— https://buymeacoffee.com/refie

Green Berets are America's best problem solvers. There's no challenge too great and no solution that cannot be found. This mentality exists in service and beyond. Ben Harrow solved complex challenges as a West Point Lacrosse star, leading soldiers in Iraq, and as he joined Special Forces to be a Green Beret in the Army. Today he's the President of PAM Jets solving aviation's largest logistical problems. But the biggest challenge Ben ever faced was when he stepped on a land mine. Ben is a double amputee who nearly lost his life in Afghanistan. From the sidelines of the 2024 Stars and Stripes Classic, the first ever lacrosse battle between Green Berets and Navy SEALs, Ben joined Fran Racioppi to share his story. After months of surgery and being told he would never walk again, he took his recovery into his own hands. Ben explains the meticulous research he conducted, the doctors he challenged and the method he developed to ensure he would walk and move on with life. He explains his resiliency mindset, how he applied it to becoming a Green Beret, solving his recovery challenge and how it drives him in entrepreneurship today.Most importantly, Ben shows us that there's nothing special about being Special Forces, you just have to want it more than anyone else.

Episode 274 is about stepping beyond your boundaries and comfort zone.  Real growth starts with one step.   Today's podcast is about the lesson I learned while helping a neighbor who had hip surgery and needed some support walking her two-year-old, energetic pup, Buddy. I will share three actionable tips to encourage you to take the first step!   Stepping Beyond Your Comfort Zone. It's a journey we've all embarked on at some point. Whether you're a seasoned sales professional or an ambitious individual striving for success, Buddy's moment of growth is a powerful metaphor for growth and success. We often find ourselves confined within familiar routines, within a comfort zone that feels secure and predictable. But these boundaries, while providing a sense of security, can also hinder us from seizing opportunities and achieving greater success.   Here are three actionable tips to help you take that first step toward breaking your boundaries: 1. Recognize Your Comfort Zone The first step in leaving your comfort zone is recognizing it. It's like turning on a light in a dark room-suddenly, you can see the patterns or routines that feel "safe" but are holding you back from truly excelling. For example, are you sticking to the same sales script because you're scared of trying a different approach? Ask yourself, "What am I avoiding because it feels uncomfortable?" This awareness is the foundation of progress and a powerful tool on your journey to personal growth. It's a moment of enlightenment that empowers you to take control of your growth. 2. Start With Small Risks Stepping outside your comfort zone doesn't mean making a giant leap all at once. Much like Buddy taking cautious steps into unfamiliar territory, you can start with small, manageable risks. If cold calling intimidates you, start by reaching out to just one new prospect each day. If networking events feel overwhelming, aim to introduce yourself to two new people per event. These small steps, when taken consistently, build confidence and momentum. They're like stepping stones, each one bringing you closer to your goals and further from your comfort zone. They reassure you that you're capable of more than you think. For instance, if you're a sales professional, you could start by making a call to a potential client you've been hesitant to approach, or if you're a team member, you could volunteer to lead a small project that's outside your usual responsibilities. 3. Seek Support and Encourage Yourself Sometimes, overcoming fear requires a helping hand. Just as I picked Buddy up to cross into uncharted terrain, you, too, may need support to face unfamiliar challenges. It could be a mentor guiding you through a tough decision, a colleague brainstorming creative solutions, or even reading motivational stories of those who have walked a similar path. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.   Most importantly, become your own cheerleader—remind yourself why taking this step matters. Self-encouragement is a powerful tool in your journey of personal growth. It's essential to acknowledge your progress, no matter how small, and to remind yourself of the potential rewards that come from stepping outside your comfort zone. It's a source of self-assurance and confidence that you can rely on.   Stepping outside your boundaries doesn't guarantee immediate success, but it brings new experiences, perspectives, and possibilities — progress that staying stagnant cannot achieve. Buddy didn't discover a whole new world overnight, but with every step and nudge, he explored something he had never seen or smelled before. Likewise, your first steps might feel vulnerable, but they are the pathway to growth. Remember, the potential rewards that come from stepping outside your comfort zone are worth the initial discomfort.   Take a moment to reflect today. What's one step you can take to move closer to your own goals?

Send us a textMeet MacKenzie Lee, a Boston-based singer-songwriter who's crafting a unique musical identity she calls "dark pop." Stepping into our studio with the confidence of someone who's found her authentic voice, Mackenzie shares the winding path that led her from childhood singing to college acapella performances and finally to her current work with Red 13 Records.What makes MacKenzie's approach fascinating is her refusal to be boxed into conventional genres. Drawing inspiration from artists like Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey, she's equally influenced by comedic musicians such as Bo Burnham and The Lonely Island—creative minds who blend impressive musical ability with clever, thought-provoking content. This unexpected combination hints at an artist determined to create music that's both emotionally resonant and intellectually engaging.The conversation takes us through Mackenzie's formative experiences, including how her acapella background trained her ear to deconstruct songs into their component parts. "You really learn to appreciate every single piece that goes into a song," she explains, describing how this shapes both her listening habits and creative process today. We also discover the emotional significance behind the grand piano visible during our interview—a treasured inheritance from her grandmother, the only other musician in her family.After discussing Mackenzie's debut single "Bad Taste on Love" and her upcoming release "The Ghost of Us," we shift to the latest country music news, covering artists like Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert supporting Texas flood victims. The episode culminates in a spirited debate about the greatest vocal collaborations of all time, with listeners passionately defending their favorites from Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton to modern pairings like Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comVirtually You: https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/ Support the show

What's next? Isn't that the question many of us are asking? As humans, we are forward-looking. What does tomorrow hold? Many feel that God has a next season for their lives. We acknowledge that as long as we are living, God has a next step for our spiritual growth and purpose.Main Points:1. It's vital that we learn a great truth: God's next season for your life will require you to step out in faith. It always does. Your next opportunity, your next ministry, and your next season will necessitate that you take a step of faith to trust God. Why? God loves it when we trust Him. He wants His children to place their full faith in confidence in Him, believing that He is leading their lives.2. I've seen a lot of Christians get stuck and become stagnant. The thing holding them back is the fear of taking a step of faith. So, in a spiritual sense, they plateau. They are not moving forward. They are not experiencing the joy and excitement of living a journey of faith. 3. God is not asking us to step into a future without Him. God is not giving us a pep talk to say, “go ahead, you'll be alright.” No, God is walking ahead of us. He is leading the way. God goes before us. We follow.Today's Scripture Verses:Deuteronomy 31:8 - “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”Isaiah 52:12 - “For the LORD will go ahead of you; yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

These past few days in American history have been a test of endurance for everyone following the legal odyssey of Donald Trump. Listeners, as of today, July 16, 2025, the former president has remained right at the center of an extraordinary legal saga. Let me walk you through what's unfolded—because the courtrooms, from Manhattan to Florida to Georgia, have been abuzz with critical developments.Let's get right to the main event from the past year: the Manhattan criminal trial. Back on April 15 of last year, in People v. Donald J. Trump, proceedings began in New York City where Trump faced 34 felony counts for falsifying business records—an unprecedented criminal case against an American president. The details emerged rapidly, and less than two months later, on May 30, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts. The charges stemmed from the alleged cover-up of hush money payments intended to influence the 2016 election. Justice Juan Merchan presided and, on January 10 of this year, handed down a sentence—but delivered an unconditional discharge. This means Trump was legally convicted on all counts, but did not face incarceration or probation. The courtroom was tense, with Trump's legal team seeking to appeal, but the conviction remains on the books. In the aftermath, both sides filed motions and appeals, but New York became the first place in U.S. history where a former president stood convicted of felony crimes.The legal battles didn't stop there. Down in Florida, in the Southern District, Trump faced federal charges for handling classified documents—32 counts of willfully retaining national defense information, five counts of obstruction, plus charges for making false statements. Trump's team caught a major break on July 15 of last year: Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges, was improperly appointed and funded, leading to the dismissal of the indictment. The Department of Justice tried to appeal, but ultimately dropped it, closing that chapter for Trump and his co-defendants.Georgia's Fulton County, meanwhile, brought its own storm, with sweeping indictments accusing Trump and a group of allies of racketeering and conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. Even as these state charges wind through the courts, each defendant is trying various legal maneuvers—Mark Meadows, for example, took his case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to move it to federal court, but was turned down. Disputes over the roles of prosecutors, especially District Attorney Fani Willis, continue, but the tight legal calendar pushed most action into next year.Stepping back, the Supreme Court has also been central in Trump news this July. Just last week, on July 8, the Court allowed the Trump administration to move forward with executive orders to reduce the federal workforce—a case that isn't directly criminal but dramatically affects Trump's influence over government operations. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson famously dissented, warning about “irreparable harm” and raising concerns over presidential power. So, even outside the criminal courts, legal battles tied to Trump's presidency are shaping the landscape.Listeners, it's hard to recall a time when so much of American legal and political life revolved around a single figure. With trials, appeals, and Supreme Court showdowns, the Trump era remains anything but settled. Thanks for tuning in—don't miss next week for more.

Stepping away and looking at the big picture, it is easy to see why and how we have been skipping over spring crops. Some of us go to extremes to get warm plants blooming sooner than they should be and others are still planting this family way too late to reap the rewards that well-established plants give. Warm-season plants are familiar, which makes them seem easier to grow.I want to fast forward to where this journey of embracing seasonality with cool-season hardy annuals can lead.This is a trend that I have seen over and over, and I think it is so smart.My first experience with flower farmers making a clear decision to move away from offering summer crops and focusing on spring and or fall crops was with good friends Megan and Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm in North Carolina. I met them before their babies came, and I watched as they started a family, lived the homesteading life, and grew cut flowers as a piece of their family life, not allowing it to consume them. They developed their model as an early to late spring offering flower farm.Now we're seeing more and more flower farmers realizing they can maintain control as they grow their businesses, molding them into a more manageable part of their life.I had the honor of visiting one of my student's farms a couple of years ago. She came to the rescue of furnishing some flower crops for a photo shoot for my newest book, The Cut Flower Handbook.I knew I wanted to revisit her farm with the team to learn and film about how she got into flower farming and where her journey is headed. I was thrilled to hear her story of creating a more manageable flower farming business.

Episode 3667: Stepping away from his smartphone, Colin Wright reflects on how constant connectivity can subtly erode our ability to stay present and engaged with real-life moments.

If you go into full-phone-absorption mode, you miss out on the world around you.” Episode references: The Power of Now: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808 Learn more about your ad choices.
