Most fundraising problems aren't fundraising problems. They're board problems.Elise Woodworth — VMI alum, Air Force veteran, and author of Business Not Battle — joins Trevor to unpack why so many nonprofit boards stall out, and what to actually do about it. She came to this work through a back door (the VMI Foundation made her their first female and youngest-ever trustee), and her approach is unusual: instead of teaching EDs how to manage their boards, she teaches board members how to be effective in the first place.In this episode: the 20-minute Champion's Elevator Pitch exercise you can run at your next meeting, the four thoughtful questions that move a stuck organization forward, why Elise refuses to say the word "fundraising" with new boards, and her four-month blueprint for turning around a burned-out board.If you've ever said "I can't get my board to fundraise," this one's for you.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:55 Understanding Strength and Strategic Mindset05:45 Journey into Nonprofit Leadership11:14 Empowering Board Members14:53 Embracing Change for Growth18:37 Aligning Mission and Leadership19:19 The Champion's Elevator Pitch24:11 Transforming Fear into Invitation30:35 Passion for Nonprofit ImpactHave a question or topic you'd like us to cover?

On this more personal episode, I share the 3 underrated ways I've improved in the 9 months to double my income and why asking "Is it worth it" is standing in your way. 

Every flicker of a symptom. Every MRI. Every "what if it gets worse." We tell ourselves we're just being realistic — but there's a difference between preparing for possibilities and emotionally rehearsing tragedies. Today, I want to show you the flip side of that question, so you can stop being consumed by the "what ifs" and "worst case scenarios."

What if the biggest mistake creators are making with AI isn't using the wrong tool… it's using the right tool the wrong way?----------------------In this episode, Mike Allton, host of The AI Hat Podcast and one of the leading voices in practical AI for business, explains why most creators and solopreneurs are leaving the majority of AI's value on the table. Instead of treating AI like a smarter search engine, Mike argues that we should be building specialized assistants that handle repeatable work, save time, and act more like members of our team. Mike shares the mindset shift that changed his own business, from asking AI questions to creating an AI Chief of Staff that understands his goals, workload, and priorities. We unpack the friction audit process he teaches organizations, how to identify the tasks that create the most administrative drag, and why every creator should start thinking about AI as a team of digital workers rather than a chatbot. If you've been wondering how to move beyond prompts and start building real systems, this episode is packed with practical examples and actionable ideas. Key TakeawaysStop using AI as a search engine and start using it as a specialized assistantRun a friction audit to identify repetitive tasks that waste time each weekBuild AI workers around specific jobs instead of one giant all-purpose chatCreate an AI Chief of Staff that understands your goals, priorities, and bandwidthUse AI to handle podcast preparation, research, meeting prep, and reportingAsk AI to interview you when building a custom assistant or agentStore instructions and knowledge separately so your AI assistants can evolve over timeUse projects, notebooks, and knowledge bases to reduce hallucinations and improve accuracyChoose one AI platform and learn it deeply instead of jumping between toolsPay for your AI tools if you're using them for business and want access to advanced featuresSave time on administrative work so you can spend more time on creative and strategic workThink of AI as your first hire, not just another piece of softwareResourcesMike Allton: Website | Podcast | LinkedIn | AgorapulseCheck out Mike's Friction Audit TemplateZac Brown: Website | Instagram | Podcast (Now on YouTube!)

Most buyers push for a lower price because it feels like the smart move. The interest rate buydown vs price reduction math will change how you negotiate forever.That $10,000 you fought to get off the price? It saves you about $40 a month. That same $10,000 used as a seller credit to buy down your rate saves you closer to $250 a month. Nobody is running these numbers at the table, and that is exactly why most buyers leave money on the table every single time.In this episode I sit down with Jason Hall from Hallmark Financial and we break down exactly how to structure a deal so you actually win.✅ Price reduction vs rate buydown, we run the real numbers side by side so you can see the difference clearly✅ Permanent buydown vs price reduction, when one wins over the other and why the answer is not always the same✅ The seller concessions vs lower price question answered with actual monthly payment comparisons, not opinions✅ How to use seller credits to buy down rate and what the limits are, Conventional is capped at 3%, FHA at 6%, VA at 5%, the FHA seller concessions limit alone changes what you can negotiate depending on your loan type✅ The difference between a 2-1 buydown vs permanent buydown and when a temporary buydown actually makes more sense✅ How to negotiate a lower mortgage payment using deal structure instead of just hammering on price✅ Why your time frame is one of the most overlooked factors in mortgage rate buydown decisions, and how to factor it in correctlyThis is the conversation your lender and agent should be having with you before you ever make an offer. Now you have the framework to demand it.

Welcome to another episode of the Data Debrief, the companion show to Driven by Data: The Podcast, where hosts Catherine Dowden-King and Kyle Winterbottom unpack Tuesday's episode, share what's been on their minds, and explore the realities of leadership, culture, and capability across the data and AI landscape.This week, Catherine and Kyle reflect on the conversation with Edward Chenard, diving deeper into what it actually takes to step outside your lane as a data leader, make yourself redundancy-proof, and shift the conversation from technical delivery to commercial impact.They cover:Why Edward's unattached, portfolio career status meant the episode landed differently, and why the growing constraints around PR and corporate communications are making truly candid guest conversations increasingly rare on podcastsHow the fractional and advisory model is reshaping what value creation looks like in data leadership, and why organisations often get more commercial clarity from a contracted external than a full-time hireWhy delivering exactly what the job spec asks of you is, in reality, a risky career strategy for any enterprise data leader or CDOThe mindset behind becoming redundancy-proof, and why Edward's firsthand experience of layoffs shaped his willingness to step outside his mandate rather than stay safely within itThe "ask forgiveness rather than permission" approach to data leadership, and why professional arrogance, done with nuance, is often what separates those who reshape mandates from those who get trapped by themWhy "talk numbers, not tech" should be on a post-it note in every data leader's office, and how reading the room determines whether your message lands or loses the room entirelyThe importance of knowing when to geek out with peers at industry events versus when to translate everything into conversion rates, revenue targets, and business outcomes at the board levelHow skill and will both play a role in whether data leaders break out of their comfort zones — and why going back to what feels familiar is the enemy of executive credibilityWhy sitting at "the children's table" is a mindset problem as much as a structural one, and what it actually takes to earn a seat in the room where the real decisions are madeThe growing challenge of getting guests to speak candidly on record as geopolitics and economic uncertainty push businesses toward risk aversion and comms-approved messagingKyle's thought of the week: why perfect conditions don't exist — and why waiting for the mandate to fix itself, the business to catch up, or the industry to finally get it right is a strategy that history has already proven doesn't work. The leaders who succeed are the ones who go and create the conditions themselves.Catherine's thought of the week: what happened when Orbition ran a NED webinar that LinkedIn declared a dead format — 67 senior leaders from across the UK, US, and Europe later, and the lesson is clear: don't let someone else's data point on what doesn't work override what your own experience and evidence tells you is worth trying.This episode is a practical, honest unpacking of what it means to go beyond the mandate, not by working harder or taking on more, but by having different conversations, building broader context, and being willing to step into rooms that weren't originally part of the brief.

Every time you ask “How?” you cap your firm's growth. That question forces everything through your time, your energy, and your skill set. Chris Dreyer breaks down why that thinking creates a bottleneck—and how shifting to a “who” framework unlocks speed, scale, and better outcomes across your firm. If you want high speed and proven outcomes without the headache of building that team yourself, head on over to Rankings.io and let us be the "who" that scales your firm. On this episode, you'll learn: Why asking “How?” keeps you stuck in linear growth. The three types of “who” (employee, contractor, agency) and when each makes sense. How to trade control for speed without sacrificing results. Why trying to build everything in-house slows you down more than you think. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe.

A donor asked one of my clients, “How much do I have to give for you to stop asking?” Oof. That question hit me right in the chest. And honestly, I think a lot of fundraisers have either been asked something like this or secretly fear hearing it.In this episode, I break down exactly how I would respond and why I believe obligation has no place in major gifts fundraising. None. I'm not interested in convincing, pressuring, manipulating, or cornering someone into giving. That's not partnership. That's coercion with a tax receipt.We talk about the difference between fundraising from desperation versus fundraising from grounded leadership. Because donors can feel your energy. They can feel when you're white knuckling a goal, trying to force a gift, or needing their validation. And they can also feel when you genuinely mean it when you say: “You do not have to give.”The best donor relationships are built with people who are all in. People who want to be there. The people who don't just write checks, but become real partners in the mission. That kind of fundraising starts with you releasing pressure from yourself first.What you'll learn in this episodeHow Julie would respond when a donor says, “How much do I have to give for you to stop asking?”Why obligation-based fundraising damages donor relationshipsThe psychological reason donors are more likely to give when they feel fully free to chooseHow desperation and pressure show up in donor conversations, even when you think you're hiding itWhy emotional regulation matters in major gifts fundraisingThe difference between inviting someone into a mission versus convincing them to fund itHow to stop white knuckling individual donor relationshipsWhy real donor partnerships require alignment, not pressureWhat “walk away power” actually looks like in fundraising conversationsHow releasing donors from obligation helps attract more passionate, committed supportersAt the end of the day, major gifts fundraising is not about getting people to do things they do not want to do. It's about leading well enough, listening deeply enough, and believing strongly enough in your mission that the right people naturally lean in. The more grounded and pressure-free you become, the more authentic and sustainable your donor relationships will be.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

The internet is full of people telling non-technical founders which AI tool to use to build their product. Lovable. Claude Code. Cursor. The list grows every week. But the tool is almost never the real problem. In this episode, Sophia Matveeva cuts through the noise to help you figure out exactly where you are in your founder journey — and what you actually need to do next. Because the move that will save you time, money and momentum depends entirely on your stage, not your tools. You'll learn: Why "which AI tool should I use?" is almost always the wrong first question — and what to ask instead The three types of non-technical founders, how to identify which one you are, and the mistake each one is making right now Why Snapchat and Airbnb — despite having unlimited budgets — still test obsessively, and what that means for you When AI tools hit their limit and you need professional developers Whether you have an idea you haven't acted on yet, something you've built with AI that's gone as far as it can go, or a product that isn't growing — this episode will tell you exactly what to do next.

Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about reality. Not the abstract, philosophical version. Not the version you argue about over coffee or read about in some dusty book. I mean the reality you wake up inside every day. The job. The schedule. The obligations. The story you tell yourself about what is "practical." The version of your life that everyone around you seems to agree is reasonable. And then there's the other thing. The thing you can see in your mind that does not exist yet. The book. The business. The body of work. The new way of living. The creative practice. The conversation. The project. The identity. The version of your life that keeps tapping you on the shoulder, quietly asking, "Are we ever going to build this?" This episode is about that tension. It started with a Nietzsche quote I love: No artist tolerates reality. But the point is not Nietzsche. The point is you. Because too many of us spend years — sometimes decades — living inside somebody else's plan for our one precious life. We inherit the well-worn path. We internalize the "shoulds." We mistake convention for truth. We tell ourselves that creativity is indulgent, impractical, selfish, lofty, or naive. And the more we repeat that story, the more it starts to feel like reality. But here's the thing I want you to hear clearly: Reality is not fixed. Reality is shaped. And one of the most powerful ways you shape it is by creating. This is the heart of the episode: You are not here to simply accept the world as it has been handed to you. You are not here to blindly follow the plan someone else wrote. You are not here to wait until the world gives you permission to make something, become something, or live in a way that feels more true. You are here to create. And I don't mean that in a soft, decorative way. I mean it in the most practical way possible. Creativity is not just painting, writing, photography, music, or design. Creativity is the foundation underneath every act of making anything in the world. A conversation is co-created. A relationship is co-created. A business is co-created. A life is co-created. You cannot build anything meaningful without creativity. Which means creativity is not extra. Creativity is your birthright. The Core Idea Stop asking permission to create your life. That's the message. Not because you should abandon responsibility. Not because every idea you have will work. Not because the path is easy, obvious, or guaranteed. But because waiting for permission is one of the most common ways we avoid our own agency. We wait for someone to tell us it's okay. We wait until the timing is better. We wait until we have more money, more confidence, more clarity, more proof. We wait until the world gives us a clean, logical reason to begin. But most meaningful creative acts do not start with certainty. They start with a pull. A nudge. A frustration. A vision. A refusal to accept that the current version of reality is the only version available. That is what artists do. That is what entrepreneurs do. That is what builders do. That is what every person who has ever changed anything does. They look at reality and say, "This is not the whole story." Why Creativity Is Practical as Hell One of the biggest lies our culture tells is that creativity is impractical. You've probably heard some version of it. Be realistic. Have a backup plan. Don't waste your time. That's not how the world works. Do something more responsible. And to be clear, I'm not arguing against responsibility. I'm arguing against the idea that suppressing your creative agency is responsible. Because the truth is, every useful thing around you was once imagined by someone. The chair you're sitting in. The phone in your hand. The building you're inside. The app you use. The song that changed your mood. The book that changed your mind. The business that changed your life. All of it was invented, dreamed up, shaped, built, and brought into the world by people who were no more inherently magical than you. They saw something that did not yet exist, and they acted. That is creativity. And the more you practice creating in small ways, the more you build the muscle to create in bigger ways. It's only by creating something that you learn you can create anything. And eventually, you start to understand that you can create not just objects, projects, or art — but change. Change in your work. Change in your habits. Change in your relationships. Change in your identity. Change in the way you experience your own life. What You'll Hear in This Episode This is a short micro show, but it goes straight at the heart of creative agency. Here are the ideas worth listening for — and coming back to when you need a reminder that you are allowed to build the thing you see in your mind. Why so many of us live inside someone else's plan without realizing it How culture trains us to see creativity as impractical when it is actually foundational Why creativity is your birthright and not a luxury reserved for a special few How creating in small daily ways builds the capacity for bigger change Why the current version of reality is not the final version What it means to stop tolerating reality and start shaping it How to identify the thing inside you that is asking to be built Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) If you're not listening straight through, here are a few landmarks to help you find the part that speaks to where you are right now: 01:50 – The Nietzsche quote that sparked this episode: "No artist tolerates reality" 02:24 – Why the trap of someone else's plan is an illusion 03:16 – Creativity as your birthright 04:16 – Why creativity is practical, generous, and life-changing 05:35 – Reality is shaped by us 06:32 – Bringing new ideas into the world, from books to platforms 07:26 – What happens when people tell you your idea is stupid 08:16 – Steve Jobs, reality distortion, and refusing the status quo 09:05 – Why it is your job to stop tolerating the reality you live in 09:50 – A direct call to action: what can you build right now? Read This If You Feel Trapped If you feel like you're living a life that doesn't quite fit, I want you to be careful with the story you tell yourself. Because the first story is usually, "I can't." I can't change careers. I can't make the thing. I can't start over. I can't say what I really want. I can't build something new. I can't disappoint people. I can't afford to be creative. I can't risk being wrong. But underneath "I can't" there is often something else: I'm scared. I don't know where to begin. I'm waiting for permission. I don't want to be judged. I don't want to fail publicly. I don't want to discover that the dream matters more to me than I admitted. That's human. But it is not the end of the story. Because the question is not whether you can transform your entire life overnight. The question is whether you can take one creative action that proves to you that the current reality is not absolute. Can you write the first page? Can you make the first call? Can you sketch the idea? Can you block the hour? Can you start the conversation? Can you make the prototype? Can you tell the truth? Can you take one step toward the life you keep imagining? That is where agency begins. The World Wants You to Be Reasonable The world has a narrative it wants you to fit comfortably inside. It wants you to do what is practical, measurable, explainable, and familiar. It wants you to make choices that are easy to defend at dinner parties. It wants you to stay on the well-trodden path. And again, there is nothing wrong with practicality. There is nothing wrong with stability. There is nothing wrong with being thoughtful, strategic, and grounded. But there is a problem when "being realistic" becomes a disguise for abandoning yourself. There is a problem when you use other people's expectations as evidence against your own intuition. There is a problem when you confuse safety with aliveness. Your creative life does not need to make sense to everyone at the beginning. Most new realities don't. The thing you see might not exist yet. That does not make it impossible. It makes it yours to explore. What Are You Here to Make? One of the questions I ask in this episode is simple: What are you doing to shift reality? Not someday. Not when the market is perfect. Not when everyone understands. Not when you finally feel completely ready. Now. And I don't necessarily mean some giant, world-changing, billion-dollar idea. Yes, some changes are massive. Some ideas become companies, movements, inventions, platforms, or bodies of work that reach millions of people. But not all meaningful change looks like that. Sometimes changing reality means changing the way you spend your mornings. Sometimes it means making art again after years away. Sometimes it means building a healthier body. Sometimes it means leaving a role that no longer fits. Sometimes it means saying yes to the project that scares you. Sometimes it means refusing to let the most honest part of you stay buried. Even if the only reality you change at first is your own, that matters. Because your life is not separate from the world. When you become more alive, more honest, more creative, and more engaged, that ripples outward. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into action, take five minutes and sit with these: Where in my life am I waiting for permission? What part of my current reality have I mistaken for something permanent? What is the thing I keep imagining but keep postponing? Who told me this path was impractical — and do I actually believe them? What small creative act would remind me that I have agency? What would I build if I stopped needing everyone to understand first? What is one part of my life that I am no longer willing to tolerate? A Simple Practice for Reclaiming Agency Here's something you can do immediately. Not as theory. Not as inspiration. As practice. Name one reality you are no longer willing to accept. Be specific. Don't write a vague complaint. Write the thing plainly. Name the reality you want to create instead. Again, be specific. What would be different? What would you feel? What would exist? Choose one action you can take in the next 24 hours. Make it small enough that you can actually do it. Do it before you ask for feedback. Let action come before permission. Repeat tomorrow. Agency is built through repetition. The point is not to blow up your life. The point is to stop outsourcing your authorship. You do not need to wait for the perfect conditions to begin shaping reality. You only need to take the next honest creative action. The Takeaway The reality you live in right now is finite. But you are not. You have the ability to add something. To make something. To shape an experience. To invent a solution. To build a practice. To create a body of work. To change the way your life feels from the inside. That does not happen by tolerating everything exactly as it is. It happens when you notice the gap between what exists and what could exist — and you decide to participate. So here's the call to action: What can you build? What can you change? What can you stop tolerating? What can you create that would make your life — and maybe someone else's life — more alive, more useful, more honest, or more free? Because the only thing that has ever made this world better is someone deciding that the current reality was not enough. Someone like you. Until next time: stop asking permission, trust the thing you can see, and create the life that keeps calling you forward.

Why traditional agency pitches often prioritize performance over real problem-solving2. Why diagnosing the problem must come before prescribing any solution3. How treating agency relationships as strategic investments improves outcomes4. How shifting from vendor transactions to partnerships leads to better results5. What a true client-agency partnership looks like in practiceQuotables“You want that agency that helps you develop the brief [to] help you figure out what we actually need. What are we trying to accomplish? What would success look like?” — Camden Bernatz“The reason you have a need for an RFP or to hire a firm and hire an agency is because you don't totally know what you need.” — Camden Bernatz“It's just having things on the table early, talking about like, ‘We think that you're prescribing something that's going to cost more than you say you have money for.'”  — Camden Bernatz“There's a difference in the way it feels to spend money on an agency versus spending the money with the agency.” — Camden Bernatz“Your agency is like an engine to fuel as opposed to a resource to drain. You will treat it differently, and they will perform differently.” — Camden Bernatz“Buying agency services is about buying a creative class of expertise, experience, guidance, and consulting that is much different than buying staples, pencils, and other supplies.” — Jason MuddIf you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a colleague or friend.

Episode 35 Presented by GaimplanThis week it's just Chad and Craig — no guest, no filter, a lot of real talk. They kick things off in the middle of their own Struggle Bubble: Chad's packing for a youth soccer tournament in Davis while baseball opening day looms, and Craig's sneaking in a podcast recording while Brittain manages a dance competition across town. Chaotic? Yes. On-brand? Absolutely.From there the conversation goes deep on a question they keep circling back to: why are we doing this? Not "this" as in the podcast — but all of it. The travel tournaments. The pressure. The sideline screaming. The dad who's keeping a mental scorecard of which league his ten-year-old is in. They dig into comparison culture in youth sports, what actually happens to the kids who aren't getting game time, and what it means to reframe a tournament as a mini vacation rather than a must-win.They also get into a wild real-life story: an opposing coach who pulled his entire team off the field mid-game over a physical-but-legal soccer match — and what it says about the state of youth coaching, burnout, and the economic pressures that are quietly running the show.The back half of the episode hits on something more personal: what we model for our kids when we struggle ourselves. Chad talks about going back to weightlifting after 25 years. Craig talks about getting destroyed by a Theraband in a dance studio full of twelve-year-olds. And both of them make the same point: when our kids see us fail and watch how we respond — that's the real coaching.Key ThemesThe comparison trap in youth sports — and how it starts at the club level, not just the sidelineWhy the first question after a game ("did you win?") might be the most damaging one we askProcess over outcome — and what that actually looks like in practice for a parentLetting kids fail, struggle, and advocate for themselvesCoaching burnout, pay-to-play culture, and the economic motive that corrupts youth sportsModeling grit: what your kids learn when they watch you do hard things

If you've spent years trying to reach migraine freedom, seeing specialist after specialist and trying medication after medication, and you're still stuck, this episode will shift how you see your entire journey. Today, we're using a powerful airport analogy to explain why symptom management is not the same as root cause resolution, and why who you trust with your migraine journey matters more than you think. Because not everyone in the airport flies the plane. In this episode, we cover: • Why chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, supplements, and many functional practitioners can provide valuable support but are not trained to systematically eliminate the root drivers of chronic migraines • The real role of neurologists, Botox, nerve blocks, and migraine medications, and why relief and symptom suppression are different from long term resolution • How relying on comfort providers can keep you surviving the flight instead of actually reaching your destination • What a true migraine specialist understands about inflammation pathways, hormone and gut drivers, autoimmunity, nervous system regulation, and genetic expression • Why sequencing and strategy matter more than random testing, trial and error protocols, or constantly switching medications • Why an assessment must come before a plan, including identifying what is actually driving your migraines, what you have already tried, what has kept you stuck, and whether you need supportive care or specialized root cause leadership If you are done asking the ground crew to fly the plane, this episode will help you understand what kind of support you actually need.

Microsoft’s Notepad Upgrade Also Introduced a Vulnerability | PCMag Microsoft’s recent Notepad modernization introduced CVE-2026-20841, a vulnerability in the new Markdown support feature that allows malicious links in files to execute remote code.  The flaw has been patched in the February 2026 security updates, but it highlights the security trade-offs when adding features to historically simple applications. The vulnerability exploits Notepad’s Markdown rendering capability, which Microsoft added in May to support lightweight markup language formatting. When Notepad opens a specially crafted Markdown file, embedded malicious links can trigger unverified protocols that load and execute remote files on the system. This incident raises questions about feature bloat in core Windows utilities, particularly as Microsoft continues adding network-dependent capabilities like AI-powered text writing to Notepad. Security researchers are debating

Send us a textEver been told to “suck it up” after a call that split your world in two? We challenge that script with a grounded, respectful look at how first responders can access care that actually helps. Steve sits down with licensed clinician and podcaster Susan Roggendorf for a candid, unfiltered conversation about culture, stigma, and practical support for police, fire, EMS, dispatch, ER, ICU, NICU, and corrections.We unpack why the tired question “What's the worst thing you've seen?” is not only unhelpful but harmful—and what clinicians should ask instead. Susan shares her background serving LGBTQ clients and first responders, detailing how role-specific stressors shape symptoms: from dispatchers carrying incomplete stories and auditory flashbacks, to EMS haunted by pediatric calls, to ER staff absorbing wave after wave of crisis without pause. Together, we outline a trauma-informed approach that centers consent, pacing, and control, building skills that fit real shifts: brief grounding, tactical breathing, movement that discharges stress, and cognitive resets you can use between calls.This episode also draws a clear map of the first responder circle without watering it down. We talk moral injury, hypervigilance, sleep disruption, and why peer support must be more than a checkbox. You'll hear podcasting war stories, yes, but also a deeper point: humility and repair are part of resilience, whether in a studio or on a scene. If you've ever sat through a therapy session that felt like a TV script, this is your reset. Expect real language, straight answers, and tools you can put to work immediately.To reach Susan, please go to https://psychhub.com/us/provider/susan-roggendorf/1316326036Support the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast

After betrayal, reassurance becomes a quiet but powerful force in many relationships. Sometimes it shows up as a direct question. More often it appears as checking, hinting, watching reactions, or scanning for signs that things are getting better. For the partner who broke the trust, reassurance can feel necessary. It feels like the only way to know where things stand or whether efforts are landing. But for the betrayed partner, that same reassurance can feel heavy, awkward, draining, or even unfair. In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why reassurance plays such a big role after betrayal and how it can quietly pull couples back into old dynamics that block healing. ______________________________ Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal When betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Today, I take you into Chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna shifts the spotlight from what you do to how you are being when you do it. This is the heart of Karma Yoga — acting in the world without clinging to the outcome. We unpack the powerful metaphor of the lotus leaf (living in the world, untouched), explore the nature of witness consciousness, and look at what it really means to "renounce" in a modern world. 

Week 14 is in the books. The playoff shakeups are the top stories we're diving into. The Pittsburgh Steelers took the pole position for the AFC North. The Green Bay Packers bested the Chicago Bears for control of the NFC North. But a title fight rematch looms. The Kansas City Chiefs run is over as AFC West champs. Despite all the haters making #IsMahomesWashed? trend, Geoff Schwartz says Patrick Mahomes would be an MVP on any other top team. Then Lucy Rohden drops by to chat College Football and all the drama that is Alabama, Notre Dame and Miami. Dave Dameshek and The Super Fuentes Brothers help you make sense of Week 14 in order to prepare you for Week 15 on Football America!
