In his episode, we're going to talk about filler words and how to reduce the negative fillers that can be annoying. Fillers come in a few different formats. Some are just sounds. These fillers are the ones that, when we do them, we tend to get more nervous because we think the audience is judging us.These are the ers, the uhms, the youknows, etc. How to stop saying Um is one of the most common public speaking concerns. Um is a filler word. And filler words are a natural part of everyday conversation. A surprising fact, though, is that you'll actually sound strange (or even fake) to your audience if you don't use any filler words.However, there is a negative impact of using too many of these vocal fillers. If um, you say um, too many um, ums in your speech, the repeated use over and over will become a distraction. This excessive use of these filler words has the potential to detract from your message.A funny example of this was in the movie, We're the Millers. Scottie P., the young girl's date, keeps using the phrase, “You know what I'm sayin'” over and over. And, Jason Sudeikis' character calls attention to each of these verbal crutches in a very funny way.The good news about Scottie P. is that what makes this scene really funny is that most people don't use these filler phrases in everyday conversation. They show up more often when we are speaking in front of a group or delivering a formal presentation. If you understand why that happens, you can fix this bad habit very easily.The best speakers in the world have trained themselves, over time, to minimize their use of fillers. (Notice that I said minimize, not eliminate.) Excessive use of um and other filler noises can frustrate the audience and make the speaker less credible. With a bit of practice, though, you can use fewer filler words as well.Full Show Notes at How to Stop Saying Um When Presenting(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/how-to-stop-saying-um-when-presenting/)
You say you're too busy. But you're not too busy to reply to clients at 11pm. Not too busy to scroll Instagram. Not too busy to overthink your post that never gets published. So what's really going on? In this episode, I'm calling out the real reason your visibility is inconsistent—and it's not your schedule. It's the avoidance. The hiding. The fear of being seen.

Today's Talmud pages, Shevuot 15 and 16, raise a difficult challenge, claiming the one must not recite any incantations in an effort to heal the sick. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain why this prohibition does not mean we should stop reciting Psalms for the sick. In what way is each of us his or her own walking, living prayer?

Gratitude isn't just a warm fuzzy feeling — it's a leadership superpower. But most of us are doing it wrong… or at least, doing it on autopilot. Ready to learn how real gratitude can transform your team, your culture, and your own leadership mindset? Let's dive in. In this episode of The Joyosity™ Podcast, Jenn Whitmer welcomes Kevin Monroe — globally known as "The Gratitude Guy" — to explore how gratitude isn't just nice-to-have, it's a game-changer at work. Kevin shares his personal story of accidentally becoming a gratitude expert, the difference between genuine gratitude and transactional thankfulness, and why seeing people — and we mean really seeing them — is at the heart of leadership. This isn't about gratitude jars gathering dust or robotic thank-yous at checkout lines. It's about sparking real human connection, even in the toughest seasons of leadership. Here's what we talked about: 06:12 The Pit of Despair Can Be a Launchpad: Kevin shares how hitting a personal low point ignited his extraordinary work around gratitude — and how struggle often plants the seeds of deeper joy. 09:40 Gratitude ≠ Thankfulness: Thankfulness can be transactional and automatic. Gratitude requires human connection, recognition, and intentionality. 16:05 The Kmart Card Problem: Forcing gratitude isn't going to work for you…or your people 19:55 Connection Powers Engagement: Leadership isn't about checking the “gratitude” box. It's about creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued. 28:48 Gratitude Empowers: Simple shifts — like asking “Who made your day better this week?” — can build trust, retention, and authentic workplace culture. If today's conversation sparked something in you, imagine what a life infused with real gratitude could unlock. Share this episode with a leader who needs a reminder: seeing people — truly seeing them — changes everything. And hey, don't forget to subscribe so you catch Part 2 of this conversation with Kevin Monroe — it's gonna get even better.

Today we are talking about something I know so many of us feel on a day to day basis – and that's feeling like there's just never enough time in the day. Am I right or am I right? Between work, workouts, meals, family, errands, and a to-do list that feels like it never ends… it can feel like there's no possible way to get it all done. And listen—I've been there, too. There have absolutely been seasons where I've told myself, “If I just had a few more hours in my day, I could finally stay on top of everything.” But here's what I've learned: it's not always about how much time we have—it's about how we're using the time we do have. What I discuss: Why feeling overwhelmed by time often comes down to how we're structuring our days The simple but powerful difference between being busy and being productive How to identify where your time is actually going And most importantly—practical ideas and tips to be more mindful and intentional with your time each day If you loved this episode, you'll also love… Episode 475: Easy Ways to Add Activity to Your Busy Schedule https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/easy-ways-to-add-activity-to-your-busy-schedule If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

I've noticed something recently, it seems like every time black America doesn't get the outcome it's looking for when it comes to a black man they use the phrase "America is scared of a confident black man" to express their anger for the situation. I personally have no problem with confident men of any race, it's weak, unconfident scared men that I do in fact fear, see every failed dictator in world history as example A, B, C, D & E!!

Are you ready to start living your life on purpose? If so, it's time to stop saying I don't have time and start living by what you truly want in your life. Your priorities. How often do you find yourself saying something like: “Ugh, I just don't have time for that”? Whether it's a workout, time with family, starting that dream side hustle, or even something as simple as reading a book. It's so easy to fall into this habit of believing we don't have time, but what I've learned, especially working with high-stress professionals like accountants, CPAs, tax preparers, bookkeepers, and business owners, is that time isn't really the issue. It's what we're prioritizing within that time that's either creating alignment or pulling us further away from what really matters. I want to dig a little deeper into this idea of priorities. We're going to go deeper than just surface-level time management hacks. Because when you know your true priorities, and you get brutally honest about how you're actually spending your time, you'll start seeing how quickly everything can shift in your life.

In this compelling episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd delves into Murray Rothbard's critical examination of the pervasive myth that "we are the government." By reading and reflecting on a poignant excerpt from Rothbard's Anatomy of the State, Jacob challenges the notion that democratic participation equates to moral complicity in government actions.Jacob articulates that casting a vote does not grant ownership over governmental institutions like the IRS, the Pentagon, or law enforcement agencies. He emphasizes that moral truths remain constant regardless of majority opinion—highlighting that actions such as theft and murder do not become justifiable through democratic processes. Drawing from biblical principles, he underscores that rulers are meant to be ministers of justice, not deities appointed by popular vote, and reminds listeners that Christians are citizens of God's Kingdom, not merely subjects of earthly governments.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this episode Trent reveals four things Catholics need to stop saying to Protestants.
We've all experienced those cringe-worthy moments when words escape our lips before our brain has a chance to filter them. In this lighthearted yet powerful Friday episode, Scott Smith tackles the universal challenge of "foot-in-mouth disease" with his trademark simplicity. Scott introduces a remarkably effective four-step method that can transform how you respond to triggering situations. Instead of reacting impulsively when emotions run high, this practical approach gives you the space to respond thoughtfully and intentionally. Whether it's answering the phone, firing off an email, or engaging on social media, discover how this super-simple formula can save you from countless awkward apologies and relationship repair work. As Scott reminds us, sometimes the most profound solutions are also the simplest. Featured Story: Scott humorously shares his lifelong battle with "foot-in-mouth disease" since age 16, confessing that while he now gets paid to talk (and occasionally put his foot in his mouth), it's a skill that has cost him plenty over the years. Through trial and error, he's developed a deceptively simple four-step method that can be applied in milliseconds or extended over days, depending on the situation, to prevent those regrettable impulsive reactions. Key Takeaways: Our emotional reactions often override our logical thinking, leading to regrettable words and actions The simplest solutions are often the most effective but get overlooked because they seem too basic Breaking your typical reaction pattern creates a momentary "trance" that gives your brain space to think The entire Stop-Think-Think Again-Act process can happen in milliseconds or be extended as needed Even the most accomplished, intelligent people still struggle with controlling emotional reactions Friday is the perfect day to reflect on "how do I want to feel?" to set intentions for emotional states Being aware of your desired feelings gives you power to choose your responses rather than react Social media, emails, and live conversations all present unique challenges for impulsive responses Technology features like delayed sending can provide built-in protection against emotional reactions This method works universally, regardless of the situation or trigger, from traffic to difficult conversations Memorable Quotes: "Action creates action. Activity creates activity. If you can get yourself to do something, something else is going to happen." "How do I want to feel? In that moment, you break yourself out of it, and you get the choice." "I'm very good at taking very complex topics and getting them down to simplicity so they work for people. People think, 'Scott, it's too simple.' It doesn't work. If you do this, it'll work." Scott's Three-Step Approach: Stop Everything - The moment you feel triggered to react, immediately stop all movement, speaking, and even thinking. This pattern interrupt is crucial for breaking the automatic emotional response cycle, even if it feels challenging at first. Think Twice - First, assess what's happening and why you're feeling triggered. Then, think again by double-checking your initial assessment. This two-stage thinking process helps prevent impulsive reactions even when you're caught off-guard. Act Intentionally - Only after completing the stop and double-think process should you take action. This ensures your response comes from conscious choice rather than emotional reaction, leading to outcomes you won't regret.

Think about a time you've had to speak in front of others — maybe during a work presentation, a wedding toast, or even on a first date. Did you struggle with using too many filler words, such as "um" and "like," talk too fast, or awkwardly ramble?Most of us try to fix these saboteurs of speech by giving ourselves mental mantras: "Slow down"; "Think about what you want to say."But my guest would say that becoming a more engaging and effective speaker comes down to realizing that it's a very physical act that requires getting out of your head and into your body.Michael Chad Hoeppner, a communication coach who has worked with everyone from presidential candidates to business executives, is the author of Don't Say Um: How to Communicate Effectively to Live a Better Life. Today on the show, Michael explains why you need to treat speaking as a sport and shares embodied drills and exercises — from playing with Legos to talking with a wine cork in your mouth to throwing a ball against a wall — that will fix common delivery problems, including eliminating ums, enhancing vocal variety, and managing your gestures.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: Becoming Well-Spoken — How to Minimize Your Uhs and UmsAoM Podcast #698: The Secrets of Public Speaking From History's Greatest OratorsAoM Podcast #732: Tips From a Top TED Talker on How to Be HeardConnect With Michael Chad HoeppnerGK TrainingDon't Say Um website Michael on LinkedInMichael on X
