Finding leads feels like progress. But a pile of leads sitting in your database does nothing for your business until you actually buy something and send it in.   In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Jimmy Smith breaks down one of the most common patterns he sees after years of training Amazon sellers: people get great at finding leads, then freeze when it comes time to buy. He explains why that happens, both the practical side of filtering a huge lead list down to the best opportunities, and the mental side of being scared to make a purchase and get it wrong.   You'll hear why 10 leads you actually buy will beat 10,000 leads you never touch, how to think about the small cost of a lesson when a buy doesn't work out, and a simple daily rhythm you can use to keep momentum going: one hour finding leads, one hour buying.   Jimmy also shares his starting markers for newer sellers, why breaking even can still be a win when you're learning, and how to lean on the community when you're not sure about a product.   If you've been building your list but haven't been pulling the trigger, this episode is for you.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I don't have Jeff's team on retainer, can they still help me?

Narcissistic relationship patterns can teach you where to stop, long after anyone has to correct you. Installment 12 of Death by 1,000 Cuts uses the image of an invisible fence to describe how a dog learns to stop at a line nobody walking by can see, and how people living with emotional immaturity and ongoing criticism can learn in much the same way. Listener stories from husbands and wives describe rehearsing an afternoon in the driveway before walking inside, planning vacations that end at the same lake cabin every year, and giving up bedtime after enough notes from the doorway. Those adjustments made a lot of sense, and this episode makes room to get curious about which ones you still need. Episode highlights: Recognize how small, repeated corrections can teach your nervous system where the line is, even after the correction stops coming Explore four patterns from listener emails: the walking, the accounting of your time, the illusion of choice, and being set up to fail Hear a listener describe the attack surface in action, when a simple question about her husband's work landed very differently than the same question from their bishop two hours later Notice whether your brain reaches for an escape hatch when a story almost matches yours, or starts stacking up evidence before you allow yourself to act Consider next steps at a pace that fits your situation, including support and safety planning when more independence could bring retaliation Tony Overbay, LMFT, has spent more than 20 years working with couples and has advanced training in betrayal trauma.

Stopping Lyme at the Source: The Science Transforming Tick-Borne Disease Prevention link for CME credit coming soon! What if we could stop Lyme disease before an infected tick ever reaches a child or family? For nearly 30 years, Dr. Janakiram Seshu has pursued a bold vision: instead of relying solely on people to avoid infected ticks, could scientists interrupt Lyme disease in nature—before the bacteria ever have the chance to reach us? Now, that vision is showing extremely promising results. In this episode of Pediatrics Now, host and executive producer Holly Wayment, MSJ, talks with Dr. Seshu, a UT San Antonio researcher whose team has developed an oral vaccination strategy designed to target Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, in the wildlife that serves as its natural reservoir. Using specially designed bait pellets, the approach aims to prevent ticks from acquiring the Lyme disease bacterium when they feed on wildlife—breaking the chain of transmission before those ticks can pass the infection to people or pets. Dr. Seshu shares the science behind the breakthrough, the results his team is seeing, and how a vision decades in the making could ultimately reshape the prevention of Lyme disease. He says they're already working on the potential beyond Lyme, offering a new way to target other tick-borne pathogens. He also explains the work that remains before the technology could move from successful research to something we use lawns, fields and forests soon It's a remarkable story of persistence, prevention and a fundamentally different way of thinking about tick-borne disease: stop the pathogen at its source, before the bite ever happens.

If you have been feeling hopeless or down about your art career, you are not alone. This episode comes straight from the heart, and it is an invitation to rekindle even the tiniest spark of hope that incredible things are ahead, no matter where you are right now. As I reflect on 10 years of Create! Magazine and 10 years of working for myself, I keep coming back to basics. Expecting support before I know how it will arrive. Noticing the opportunities I do have, even when things are not perfect. And paying attention to the whole picture, because just like in nature, something is always growing even when other things look like they are dying. I share my own recent season of negativity, the moment a friend lovingly told me I give up too quickly, and the small, unglamorous example of a HYROX race that reminded me how cause and effect really works. When you show up, even imperfectly, even for 10 minutes, results follow. This one includes a little tough love. If you are ready to come out of a fearful cycle and start showing up for yourself again, I hope it helps. In this episode Why our brains have a negative bias, and how the news and art market reports feed it Delete, generalize, distort: why "no one is buying art" is never the whole truth The law of cause and effect and taking responsibility for your success What a HYROX race taught me about showing up when it is not your top priority The friend who told me to stop giving up so quickly What follow-through looks like in a real art practice: the sketchbook, the newsletter, the pitch, the reel How catastrophizing keeps you from ever giving your work a fair chance Why micro habits beat marathons Allowing opportunities to find you, even in a slower economy Stopping three feet from gold, and honoring the months left in 2026 Why art is abundance: wellness, connection, self-trust, and income Daisy Fancourt's research on art and health (check out her book, Art Cure, and her episode on the show) Emotional regulation as the foundation of any selling strategy An introduction to my new program, Art Is Abundance Join Art Is Abundance Art Is Abundance is my new six-week live program for visual artists who want more abundance in their lives, both financially and in confidence.

Ralph welcomes Keira Havens a United States Air Force veteran and the executive director of Citizens' Impeachment a grassroots organization that lobbies Congress and supports candidates who are willing to impeach and convict Donald Trump for a myriad of Constitutional violations. Then Michael Marx, founder of the group CorpEthics that conducts marketing campaigns that apply public pressure to corporations to change their behavior, joins us to discuss his new book "Reining in the Bulls: How to Stop Corporate Abuse in an Age of Unbridled Greed."

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and author Brent Freeman to unpack what happens when external success stops feeling like success. After building billion-dollar growth machines, Brent found himself burned out, disconnected, and asking a much bigger question: What if the life I'm building isn't actually the life I want? Brent shares how a “one-degree drift” away from yourself can quietly turn into burnout and how he began rebuilding his life around joy, presence, and intentionality. From canceling every meeting to watch a sunset to creating a daily “list of joy,” Brent explains the neuroscience, nervous system practices, and emotional alchemy tools behind his new book, The Alchemy of Joy. Whether you're navigating burnout, chasing your next achievement, or simply want to feel more present in your own life, this conversation is a reminder that joy is something you can invest in right now. Inside This Episode: When Success Stops Feeling Successful: Brent opens up about the hollow feeling that came after building massive businesses and achieving the external markers of success he once thought would create fulfillment. The One-Degree Drift: Learn how tiny, seemingly harmless choices can gradually move you away from your values, your joy, and yourself—and why noticing the drift early matters. Burnout Beyond Hustle Culture: Brent explores how burnout can hide behind ambition, impact, productivity, and achievement, and why it's not simply a matter of “working too hard.” The Return on Joy (ROJ): Discover Brent's framework for treating joy as an intentional investment with a compounding payoff in energy, fulfillment, presence, and quality of life. The One-Minute Window: Learn a simple 60-second practice for interrupting autopilot, regulating your nervous system, and coming back to the present moment. What to Do Now: Make Your List of Joy: Write down 5–10 things that genuinely make you feel alive, energized, connected, or playful. Then ask yourself: When was the last time I made time for these? Try the One-Minute Window: The next time you feel overwhelmed or triggered, stop for 60 seconds. Breathe. Notice what's happening in your body. Let yourself come back to the present before deciding what to do next. Invest in Your ROJ: Choose one small thing that brings you joy and intentionally put it on your calendar this week. Don't wait until everything else is done. Consider it a daily investment in your return on joy. About the Guest Brent Freeman is a visionary entrepreneur, speaker, and author of The Alchemy of Joy. He founded Roozt.com, Stealth Venture Labs, NonnaLive, and Stealth Impact Lab, building businesses and social-impact initiatives that have generated billions in revenue and reached hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. After years of pursuing growth, impact, and achievement, Brent walked away from the hustle and grind to dedicate his work to helping people rediscover joy through neuroscience, inspiration, meditation, and subconscious training. Today, he speaks, teaches, and coaches around his philosophy of the “Return on Joy,” the idea that intentionally investing in joy can create a compounding return across every area of life.

The 2026 Coworking Benchmark Session Most operators aren't short on effort; they're short on a diagnosis. This episode breaks down why malaise sets in when you can't name the actual problem in your business, and why the fix is almost always the easy part once you know what you're aiming at. I walk through why diagnosis is so hard to do on your own. Most operators run one space, watch one P&L, and have never seen their numbers next to anyone else's. Without a comparison set, it's nearly impossible to know whether your marketing spend, close rate, or churn is the real problem, so operators default to copying tactics instead of fixing the issue. In this episode: Why malaise isn't a motivation problem The difference between diagnosing a problem and solving it Where time and money actually get wasted in a coworking business How to get a real comparison set for your own numbers Get your numbers benchmarked against real coworking data with the Coworking Scorecard 2026: everythingcoworking.com/benchmark

Have you ever found yourself biting your tongue, aching to speak your truth but feeling like something's holding you back? That inner tug-of-war can be exhausting, and you're not alone in it. In this episode, we're uncovering why so many of us avoid speaking up and how you can finally break free from that pattern.In this episode, I'm joined by Master Coach Sara Bybee Fisk to talk about one of the most important skills for women: learning how to have the hard conversations that are taking up your brain space and energy. When you're able to stop rehearsing, trying to find the right words, and walking on eggshells until it's the “right time” to speak up, you get your life back and gain the confidence to have any conversation you need to.One of the biggest reasons women avoid hard conversations is that they worry it will cost them connection. But when you can speak up in your relationships, you gain clarity on what the relationship truly is. In some cases, you're brought even closer, and in others, you learn that the relationship isn't giving you what you hoped it would. We'll talk about why this fear is so present for so many of us, and how our early experiences and programming teach us to focus on other people's needs instead of our own.Silence can often feel like the safest option, but having the hard conversations is the key to more clarity and connection in your relationships. Let's dive in!What you'll learn:How to recognize when your ability to speak up needs strengtheningWhy highly capable women can become invisible to themselves and the people around themThe definition of “good girl” math and how much time it's taking away from your lifeWhy you may be able to speak up for everyone else but struggle to speak up for yourselfWhy trying to calculate someone else's reaction will never give you the answer you're looking forYou can read the full show notes here.About Sara Bybee FiskSara Bybee Fisk coaches capable women through the conversations they're afraid to have. As a Master Certified Coach and host of the Ex-Good Girl Podcast, she's worked with thousands of women in medicine, business, and faith communities who've done years of personal work but still freeze when something they care about is at stake. Her approach is straightforward: most women don't need another insight or a better script. They need to interrupt the calculation loop that runs before they ever open their mouth, what she calls “Good Girl Math”. Sara teaches three concrete skills to help women locate exactly where they get stuck and what needs to change. She's a born-again feminist who grew up in a high-demand religion and now speaks nationally on conflict, communication, and what it looks like when women finally learn the skills needed to have any hard conversation they need to have.Website: sarafisk.coach Podcast: sarafisk.coach/podcast Instagram: instagram.com/sarafiskcoachFree workshop: sarafisk.coach/voice Connect with Molly ClaireMaster Coach Training Application OpenGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComHave a question or thoughts about the podcast?

The other day, the government of Israel approved the building of a new city in the Shomron to be called SHIRA, on Highway 5, east of Rosh HaAyin, on the way to the city of Ariel. Tens of thousands of apartments will be built. On 9,500 dunams of land that will be home to over 100,000 Jews. Eastern Gush Dan. Half an hour to Tel Aviv. Next to the train.This didn't happen by accident.Smotrich and Netanyahu. A partnership that has totally changed the map of Israel like never before. Approved over 100 new communities in Judea and Samaria. New cities. Around 160 farms reclaiming the land, stopping the illegal Palestinian Authority land grab backed by EU funding. What used to take twenty years now happens in weeks. Now Smotrich has announced doing the same thing in the Negev and Galil, two areas the Arabs have been taking over, making Jews the minority, with no government pushback. He will finally take care of that too. Anyone who knows the government bureaucracy, and the deep state power that has allowed the Arab takeover of the Galil and Negev, understands how many roadblocks Smotrich has to overcome. That is the revolution. That is the vision becoming facts on the ground.And it will stop the second Israelis hand the keys of government back over to deep state powers on the political left, today being led by Eizenkot.After October 7, after the massacre, after Nova, after the country burned, too many Israelis are still ready to vote for the bloc that would make Gadi Eisenkot prime minister. The same man who, as IDF Chief of Staff, hollowed out the army and sold the country the religion of containment, belittled the Jewish concept of rising up to kill those who want to kill you, and “quiet will be met with quiet.” That doctrine didn't give us peace. It gave our enemies years to train, tunnel, arm, and walk into our homes.Eisenkot is not a leader; he's a product. No spine, no charisma, no new thinking since October 7. Just the deep state's latest packaged “savior,” sold to the public as the great hope for replacing Netanyahu.You don't honor the murdered by putting the architects of weakness back in charge.You honor them by finishing the job: more cities, more farms, more Jews on the high ground, an army that deters instead of manages.Smotrich and Netanyahu delivered the building. The other side delivered the conception.If you want Shira and the next hundred communities, they need the votes. Momentum like this is a miracle. Stopping it would be a crime.Share this. The land is being built. We can't hand the country back to the same political left security leaders who preached and practiced appeasement and failed us miserably.

Debbie shares a personal story and a call for prayers.Life can turn in an instant, and in this heartfelt family update, Debbie Ozment shares a harrowing experience that tested her faith and resilience. A Flight to RememberJust three days ago, Debbie and her husband Mike were rushing to a conference in Atlanta, a scenario many can relate to. Running late for a 5 AM flight, they encountered a significant delay at TSA. Mike's worry about their tardiness was met with Debbie's calm assurance:  "I feel like God has a plan."Little did they know, this would be a day they would never forget.A Moment of CrisisAfter finally getting through security, Debbie ran to catch up with Mike, only to find paramedics surrounding him, performing CPR.  "They stopped me and they said, Do you have an advanced directive? He has no pulse. We've been doing CPR for eight minutes."In that moment of panic, Debbie cried out to God, begging for Mike's life. Miraculously, the paramedics revived him, and amidst the chaos, a woman in a white shirt appeared, offering comforting words:"He's going to be all right."Debbie later reflected on this encounter, believing it was a divine intervention to give her peace during the crisis.The Road to RecoveryNow, as Mike prepares for triple bypass surgery, Debbie emphasizes the importance of maintaining health, even when unexpected challenges arise. She shared that despite Mike's overall good health and active lifestyle, genetics played a significant role in this event.  "The doctors were amazed that here's a 68-year-old man who takes no medications... but that doesn't always prevent a problem."As they navigate this difficult time, Debbie requests prayers for Mike's recovery and the family as they face the future together.A Call for CommunityDebbie's message resonates with anyone who values health and community support. She invites listeners to continue strengthening their bodies and spirits so they can handle life's surprises.  "I thank God for the mercy he bestowed on us... We live authentic health with heaven in mind."As she pauses the podcast to focus on Mike's recovery, Debbie expresses her gratitude to the listeners who share in their journey.  In her closing thoughts, Debbie asks for encouragement and shares her desire to help others live out their God-given calling with vitality.  "It is from our heart. We want to show people body, soul, and spirit vitality."  As they move forward, Debbie holds onto hope, knowing that every moment counts.  Let us all keep Debbie and Mike in our thoughts and prayers, and remember the importance of community in our lives. ---Debbie invites you to reach out with your thoughts and encouragement via email at debbie@drdebbieozment.com.

Michael A. Crane, the medical director of the World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai, thought he would be seeing a lot of cases of lung cancer coming into his clinic. “My greatest concern was that they were gonna get lung cancer,” Crane said. He remembers treating 9/11 first responders during the immediate recovery. Workers would put on a mask and the filter would clog up within 30 minutes. The air was thick and impossible to breathe. But 25 years later, an uptick in lung cancer hasn't really panned out in the data—so far. “Fingers crossed, fingers crossed, it might be off the table,” he said. “But of course, there's no guarantees in life, as in anything else.”In this episode of the Cancer History Project podcast, reporter Sara Willa Ernst sits down with Michael Crane to talk about the surprising twists and turns of treating 9/11 first responders over the past 25 years. He also offers his theory behind why the incidence of lung cancer didn't spike as expected—an achievement, perhaps one of Crane's proudest, that the program was able to accomplish. The WTC Health Program was able to reduce smoking among first responders from 20% to just 3%, according to Mount Sinai data.“When I die, and God asks me: ‘What did you do with your life?' I'm gonna give them that statistic and demand to get into the doors. ‘Open the doors, buddy! Look what I did here,'” Crane said. The Cancer History Project Podcast is sponsored by City of Hope, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. A transcript of this podcast is available, along with an archive of related articles, on the Cancer History Project website:  https://cancerhistoryproject.com/article/michael-crane-911/ 

What's up, everybody? Today, I am bringing you an absolutely critical episode with Connor Leahy, a leading voice in the world of artificial intelligence safety and the CEO of ControlAI. Connor is a computer scientist who has spent years at the forefront of AI research, grappling with the real and present risks facing humanity as this technology rapidly evolves. He has a bold and, frankly, chilling perspective: pursuing superintelligence could endanger us all.In this episode, Connor breaks down why AI isn't just another tool—it's something fundamentally different, and possibly the biggest adversary we've ever created. We dig into the game theory behind international AI development, why current regulations are falling short, and what would actually have to happen for us to avoid catastrophic risks.If you've ever wondered how close we are to a true point of no return, or what it would actually take to keep the future of humanity in our own hands, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss.I hope you learn as much from this convo as I did—Connor will challenge the way you think about progress, technology, and what it means to be wise in a world racing toward the unknown. If you get value from this, I'd be so grateful if you leave us a review. That's how we spread the word and help more people unlock their true potential.I'm Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.What's up, everybody?

Defending the Flexbone doesn't require installing a gimmick defense it requires trusting your base run fits and understanding how they account for the dive, quarterback, and pitch. Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain break down how the Umbrella run fit system handles the triple option, what to look for when game planning a Flexbone team, and how to dictate option reads based on personnel and tendencies. Coaches will learn how to keep the plan simple, identify the player they can't allow to beat them, and make smart in-game adjustments without abandoning the defense their players execute best. 5:17 - Understanding the Flexbone Offense 9:15 - Flexbone Formation and Personnel Alignment 11:30 - Flexbone Base Plays and Concepts 14:01 - Why Your Base Defense Stops the Flexbone 15:20 - Fitting the Umbrella Defense to the Flexbone 20:07 - How Run Fits Handle All Option Offenses 22:46 - Avoiding Gimmick Defenses Against Triple Option 35:53 - Game Planning for the Flexbone 44:39 - Stopping the Flexbone Star Player 49:32 - In Game Adjustments Against the Flexbone  Defending the Flexbone Offense Step 1: Build Your Defense Around Umbrella Run Fits Start with a run fit system that accounts for the dive, quarterback and pitch without changing your defense for the Flexbone. Every defender needs a consistent spill, force, alley or stay in coverage responsibility. READ: Coach the Umbrella Principle to Get Perfect Run Fits for Your Defense Step 2: Understand How Your Base Defense Handles Option Football Learn how the same run fits handle different forms of option football. Instead of installing a special Flexbone defense, understand how your existing responsibilities account for the dive, quarterback and pitch phases of the option. LISTEN: How to Defend the Spread Option Offense | FBCP S21E07 Step 3: Keep the Corner Out of the Run Fit Maintain a stay in coverage defender so the offense cannot use play action when the defense becomes overly aggressive against the option.

READ: How to Coach Football's Cover 3 Defense Step 4: Prepare Your Players to Execute Their Fits Turn the run fit responsibilities into reactions your players can execute without searching for the football.

READ: The Most Important Football Drill for Coaching Safeties Step 5: Build the Flexbone Game Plan From Film Identify what this specific Flexbone offense does best before adding adjustments.

Continue fitting the dive, quarterback and pitch, force the offense to execute repeatedly, and make adjustments only when you have identified a specific problem your base defense is not solving. ​LISTEN: We Can't Stop the Run | FBCP S18E05

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Chris Pronger, Hockey Hall of Famer, Norris and Hart Trophy winner, Stanley Cup champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and one of the NHL's 100 greatest players. Chris takes us inside the mindset that transformed him from a booed 21-year-old in St. Louis into one of the most dominant defensemen of his generation.They break down what it really takes to bet on yourself, why delayed gratification is the secret to sustained excellence, and how Chris rebuilt his entire training protocol from the studs after already being nominated for a Norris Trophy. Chris opens up about the early-career failures that forced him to look in the mirror, the veterans who shaped him, from Brad McCrimmon to Wayne Gretzky and Al MacInnis, and the 4-pound muscle between his ears that changed everything.He also shares hard-won lessons on leadership, managing teammates with different personalities, the importance of culture in championship runs, and why the best leaders lead by example, not just by talking. From the 2007 Stanley Cup run with Anaheim to the scary commotio cordis incident in 1998 and the eye injury that ultimately ended his career, Chris delivers a raw, unfiltered look at the true cost of greatness.Whether you're an athlete, a founder, a leader, or simply someone trying to earn your way forward, Chris offers practical wisdom on resilience, identity, and the art of controlling what you can control.A big thanks to our sponsor, Moomoo CanadaThis is the kind of tooling that used to live on a Bloomberg terminal, but now it is on your phone, just a few taps away.

How many times have you been told you'd never get better? That this is just the way things are now - your knee, your back, your body, your health - and you should learn to live with it? What if the doctors, the X-rays, and the diagnoses were never the whole story, and what if your body has been ready and waiting to heal this entire time, just waiting for permission? Michael shares his own remarkable story - six knee operations by age ten, being told he'd never run again, getting hit by a car while racing bicycles in Europe, years of chronic back pain doctors chalked up to permanent damage - and how he ultimately ran up Vermont's largest mountain and completed a full Iron Man, pain-free. From there, he walks through the real reason so many bodies stay stuck even when they're fully capable of healing, and leads a live group healing session designed to help you feel safe enough to finally let your own healing begin. This isn't about pushing, forcing, or gritting your way back to health. This is about understanding that no healing has ever happened from a place of fight-or-flight, and that the very first step, always, is simply letting your body know that it's safe. Key Topics: Michael's own healing journey: from being told at age 11 he'd never walk properly, let alone run, to running straight up a 4,000-foot mountain and completing an Iron Man triathlon. Why healing doesn't begin in the mind or the body, but in the heart, and why permitting yourself to feel scared, angry, or doubtful is the necessary first step, not something to bypass. The "ego of the body" concept: why your nervous system defaults to the known, even painful, status quo, because change itself registers as dangerous. Why nothing heals from a state of cortisol and fight-or-flight, and why a body that finally feels safe often wants deep rest first, before real healing can begin. Two live attunements for anchoring into safety: starting in third person ("You are safe, you're okay, you can heal") before shifting into first person ("I am safe, I am safe, I am safe") to gently bypass nervous system resistance. Real results shared from this summer's Come Back to Life program, including declining A1C and AFib numbers, a straightened curved spine, a participant coming off an oxygen tank, and significantly reduced phantom limb pain. The power of the "imaginary state": seeing yourself already healed, already whole, already living the life you want, because intention, not current reality, is what actually drives transformation. Michael's own PTSD story from being hit by a car in France, and why reliving a trauma over and over is often the nervous system's way of searching for the safety it never got to feel the first time. Your body came here whole. It carries the resonant frequency to return to perfect health; it's simply been waiting for you to decide, and to feel, deep in your heart, that it's safe to try. Healing was never about forcing your way up the mountain. It's about approaching yourself with so much love, kindness, and compassion that your body finally, gently, believes it's allowed to come back to life.

On Sept. 11, 2001, Air Force 1st Lt. Heather "Lucky" Penney launched from Andrews Air Force Base in an unarmed F-16 with orders to stop United Flight 93 by ramming it, if that's what it took. Twenty-five years later, on the eve of the 25th 9/11 anniversary, the retired Air Force major joins Tango Alpha Lima to tell the full story: the plan she and her flight lead worked out in a briefing room, the peace she says she felt with it, and the passengers fought the terrorists and made the mission unnecessary. Plus, the rest of her story beyond the day of the terrorist attack: being told at Purdue University that "girls can't be fighter pilots," two combat deployments, night "Scud hunter" missions over Iraq, and a retirement advocating for the next generation of aviators with the Mitchell Institute. Also in this episode: Constitution Day, the history of women in aviation, and the Mitchell Institute's new report on the space frontier.SHOW LINKSLearn more about how to celebrate Constitution DayTreat lower back pain with restorative neurostimulation.

Thinking About Leaving Church? Watch for These Warning Signs | Before You Quit #6 Most Christians who walk away from God don't make one dramatic decision to quit. They drift. In Day 6 of Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done, Rob Skinner walks through the familiar pathway that can slowly lead a Christian out the door: Disappointment. Discouragement. Pulling back. Missing church. Avoiding conversations. Stopping time with God. Ghosting the people who love you. And eventually becoming spiritually empty. Rob points out that the warning signs often begin long before someone says, "I'm leaving." Your giving may dry up. Church starts feeling painful or forced. Instead of worshiping, you become increasingly critical of the sermon, the music, the program and the people. Activities you once loved become easier to miss. Prayer loses its passion. Bible reading disappears. When someone asks how you're doing, your answers become: "I'm fine." "Work has been busy." "Things have been crazy." And slowly, meaningful conversations become something to avoid. Then another dangerous pattern begins. When people reach out, you can become critical: "Where were they when I needed them?" But when they don't reach out: "See? Nobody really cares about me." Either way, the church becomes the problem. Rob reminds us that there is no perfect church because every church is filled with imperfect, struggling people. A small church can be criticized for what it lacks. A large church can be criticized for being impersonal. And while many people who leave church insist that their relationship with God is still strong, Rob challenges us to examine honestly whether our love for God may also be growing cold. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:12–13: "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." If you recognize yourself anywhere along this path, don't ignore it. Identify where you are. Recognize the danger. And remember: It's not too late to rekindle the flame. You can turn around. You can reconnect. You can get back on the narrow road. If you're struggling in your faith, Rob would love to hear from you and encourage you. Email: rob@robskinner.com This is Day 6 of Rob Skinner's Before You Quit series, based on his book Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the biggest thing holding back your business isn't your strategy — but a hidden belief about being seen, charging what you're worth or allowing yourself to succeed?Dr. Craig Weiner joins me to explore the emotional and psychological blocks that can quietly keep healers, coaches, practitioners and solopreneurs from thriving.Craig contributed a powerful chapter to our collaborative Tapping book Tap Into Your Best Life, looking at issues including imposter syndrome, worthiness, visibility, boundaries, structure and the beliefs we carry into our businesses from much earlier in life.We talk about:• “Who am I to be the expert — and who am I to charge this?”• Why old beliefs can start feeling like facts• Feeling safe enough to be seen, receive and lead• Courage and self-compassion rather than trying to become fearless• Why resistance to structure can look like procrastination• Following passion and purpose while creating healthy boundaries• Why you don't have to do everything yourself• When self-tapping is appropriate — and when deeper work deserves the safety of a skilled practitionerCraig also shares candid stories from his own journey, including changing the structure of his chiropractic career and confronting his own fears about what other people would think.And don't miss his wonderful story near the end about having to speak immediately after Dr. Joe Dispenza at a conference in Australia — and becoming so nervous that he had to leave the room and tap!This conversation also points beautifully toward the questions I'm now exploring in my next collaborative book, Tap Into Your Best Money Life:What changes when we stop believing that success has to come from working harder — and become more able to value ourselves, enjoy our work and receive more?

What would change if you stopped measuring a good life by how much you can fit into it—and started measuring it by how well your energy supports what matters most?

We live in an increasingly frictionless world, with automatic bill payments and 401(k) contributions, but too few people apply this strategy to their emergency savings, and the result has been an increased rate of early retirement distributions for unforeseen expenses. Donna discusses the prevailing problem of 401(k) leakage, and how automating your savings can help you avoid it. Also on MoneyTalk, the benefits of a trust, and how to know if you need long-term care insurance.

We're starting the show talking about cheating and technology, that's after a University of Auckland student has been caught wearing smart glasses in a test. The glasses feature a camera, and the ability to connect with the internet. For teachers and professors, this presents a whole new battleground in the war on cheating. Friend of the show and Associate Professor of Law at Victoria University Dr. Grant Morris joins us to discuss.

Kevin and Bill discuss options for slowing or stemming the river of baby blood flowing out of our nation. They ask: is a revival and reformation based on God's law utopian? In the meantime, what privatized solutions are there for limiting and preventing abortion? What is the root reason most women kill their babies? Is involvement at the state and national level worth it? And what can we do individually?

Drawing a line back to 2020 and the stretch between election night and January 6th, Hawk argues the difference now is planning. He points to reporting that ICE is building a multimillion dollar national voter database, to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin saying agents could appear at polling places, and to a New York Times account of federal agents combing state voter rolls without warrants. The warning extends past election day. Hawk lays out the Senate and House math, the risk that batches of mail ballots from Democratic cities could be thrown out, the Tarrant County move to close polling sites, and the January 3rd handoff when a House clerk could shape who gets seated. His closing point is blunt: the courts are the last line, and they may not move fast enough.

This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast makes the case for knowing when to stop planning, especially when every new unit feels like the first unit you've ever planned. You may know your content well, care deeply about your students, and still find yourself rebuilding everything from zero before you feel allowed to teach it.The usual standard for a “planned” unit is impossible to satisfy. Every lesson must be complete. Every resource must be created. Every example must be found. Every possible classroom decision must be made ahead of time. That version of planning never ends because there's always something else to add, improve, or prepare. The more you care, the more missing pieces you can see. That doesn't mean you're disorganized or failing. It means thorough teachers need a finish line that actually exists.The better standard is ready enough. Ready enough means you know what you're introducing and how you'll introduce it. You know how students will practice. You know what students are working toward producing. The structure is settled, even when every detail isn't predetermined. That's the point of knowing when to stop planning. You're not declaring the unit perfect. You're deciding that you know enough to teach it well and make the next decision when better information becomes available.This matters even more in a secondary classroom, where multiple preps can make every planning session feel like a negotiation with the clock. Starting with produce gives you a useful filter. First, identify what students are going to make, do, demonstrate, explain, design, or perform. Then ask whether the introduce phase gives students what they need to begin and whether the practice phase builds the skills they'll need. If a decision doesn't affect that path before day one, it may not belong on today's planning list.A major source of planning overwhelm is trying to predict what can only be learned through teaching. You might plan a practice structure, but you can't know in advance whether students will need to do it once, twice, or three times. You may need to watch the first round before deciding what happens next. Students might be ready to move on. A misconception might need attention. The class might need another round of practice. That isn't incomplete planning. That's teaching. Spending hours deciding before you have the evidence isn't preparation anymore. It's prediction.The episode also challenges the habit of collecting every engaging example ahead of time. One summer, the speaker spent significant time searching for movie clips to connect with future units. The goal was to find relevant examples before they were needed, but most of the clips didn't quite fit because the search happened without classroom context. Later, while watching a movie with a child, a moment on screen immediately stood out as exactly the example needed for the next day. The connection was easier to recognize because the learning was happening right then and the need was clear.That story changes what being prepared can mean. Stopping your planning doesn't mean you stop noticing useful ideas. It means you stop demanding that every possible good idea be found before a unit can be called ready. A little space can make you more responsive to what's actually happening in the room. It can also leave room for a connection to appear while you're living your life, watching a movie, driving to school, or doing something unrelated to teaching. Not every valuable classroom idea has to be manufactured during a Sunday planning session.This episode is for middle and high school teachers who keep extending the work because “finished” always moves farther away. It's for the teacher with several courses to prepare, the teacher who knows the content but keeps second-guessing the plan, and the teacher who wants effective classroom routines without turning every unit into a complete production before students arrive. The conversation offers practical teacher tips for deciding what must be settled now, what can wait until students begin practicing, and what may not need to happen at all.Before closing the laptop, replace “Is this completely finished?” with a more useful question: “Do I know enough to teach this well and make the next decision when I have better information?” That question protects your standards while giving planning a boundary. A ready unit has a direction, a way for students to get there, and enough structure to begin. It doesn't need every possible example, resource, or decision. Ready enough is a professional judgment call, not what happens after you run out of energy.If you want to work through the process with an actual unit, the episode points listeners to the Unit Planning Lab. Inside, the work centers on clarifying your produce, mapping the flow, sorting what you already have, and deciding what ready enough looks like for that unit before you walk into the classroom. The goal is a process that can travel across courses, preps, and content areas, including the courses that seem to have nothing in common. One well-built unit can give you more than something to teach. It can give you a repeatable way to decide, prepare, and stop.Stop planning like the finish line is allowed to run away.

And I decided to talk about this topic today partly because once I made the decision to tackle it, the enemy has been having a field day in mine.Yesterday I came home from church and wrote in my journal — I will wait on you, God. I will trust you, God. You are my joy, my strength, my deliverer. By evening I was trying to take control of all of my life and everyone else's life, fixing everyone's problems. I was not trusting. I was not waiting. It was all going on up here. And today I had to apologize. I had to confess my sin of trying to control someone. I wrote in a text — I'm sorry for not being patient. I'm sorry for not being kind. I'm sorry for being proud. Will you forgive me?Waiting on God is really hard. It requires patience, self-control, and trust and faith in God.What Scripture Says About the MindPsalm 25:3 says no one who waits on the Lord will be put to shame. That word wait also means trust and hope. No one who trusts in the Lord, no one who hopes in the Lord, will ever be disgraced. When we take it off of us and give it to God and put our trust and faith in Him — that is when we can move forward.Isaiah 40:31 says but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not be weary. They will walk and not faint. That word wait again — those who wait on the Lord, who hope in the Lord, who trust in the Lord.Craig Groeschel and Winning the War of the MindDuring the Texas blizzard in February, I went online to watch church. I came across Craig Groeschel beginning a four-part series on winning the war of the mind. I want to share a few things he shared that Sunday and show how I've been applying them as a mom, a grandma, and in helping kids with their education.He makes this statement — most of life's battles are won or lost in the mind. So are we waiting on God or are we taking things into our own hands? Taking things into our own hands means saying — I can control my life. I can do better. It's all on me. That's wrong.Are you having a worried attitude or a peaceful attitude? If we're worried, we have fear. If we have peace, we're casting all our cares on God — casting all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Do we have a negative mindset or a positive mindset? A negative mindset means we're critical and complaining. A positive mindset means we have faith in Jesus, we are thankful.And here's the key thought — what comes into your mind comes out in your life. In your words. In your actions. What are you filling your mind with? That's what's going to come out in your life.Your life is always moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts. Let me repeat that. Your life is moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts. What are those strong thoughts pushing you toward?Renewing Your Mind With TruthRomans 12:2 says do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — His good, perfect, and pleasing will.Ephesians 4:23 says let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God — truly righteous and holy. I pray this verse almost every day. I say — Holy Spirit, renew my thoughts, attitudes, and emotions. Renew our families.And 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 tells us how we fight these battles in our mind. For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.We don't fight with the world's weapons. We fight with God's weapons — the Holy Spirit, prayer, and truth.Two Steps for Overcoming Negative ThoughtsStep one — identify the biggest stronghold. What is holding you down? What is churning in your head? Name it. When we think a negative thought, there is a chemical release in the brain — a dopamine release — that gives a temporary high and then pulls us back down. And every time we think that negative thought, it becomes easier to think it again. Dr. Caroline Leaf is an expert in neuroplasticity and talks about this very idea — taking our thoughts and rewiring our minds so we think positively.So first, name the stronghold. What is it for you? Maybe you feel like a failure as a mom. Maybe you feel like your marriage isn't good enough. Maybe you compare yourself to other moms, other bloggers, other speakers.I'll be really honest — I struggle with comparing myself to other bloggers and authors and speakers. I see bloggers get book deals and I think — I guess I'm not as important. That is a stronghold. I am comparing myself and saying I'm not enough.I once spoke at a conference in a workshop at 5 p.m. — not a great time — and they had doubled up everything that evening. Zero people showed up to my session. I'm admitting this to you because it was humiliating. But I had to say — God, you took each person at that conference to the workshop where they needed to be, and this is just not the one they needed to hear. I had to humble myself.Step two — name the truth to demolish that stronghold. God says He has given us weapons to demolish strongholds, and one of those weapons is truth. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.So instead of — I'm comparing myself to other bloggers and I'm not enough — speak the truth. I have been given everything I need for life and godliness. I don't need more. God gives me all I need. God is using me in a special way with moms and wives. He uses me when I trust Him. I walk by faith, not by sight.Say that truth every morning when you get up. Speak truth to yourself. That is godly self-care.Tim Tebow said it this way — when I wish I were like someone else, I'm really being mad at God. He didn't make me like that person. He made me. And when I compare myself and wish I were different, I'm not accepting who God made me. He has given us gifts and callings, and we need to walk in those.The truth is Jesus Christ. Name the stronghold. Name the truth. And the truth will set you free.I'll put a link in the comments to Craig Groeschel's book on the mind, as well as Dr. Caroline Leaf's book — both deal with retraining our minds and getting our thoughts focused in the right direction. It takes some work, but it is absolutely possible.Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts, your questions, or your favorite springtime activity.

We've got about 90 days until the new year.Not enough time to become a completely different person overnight—but more than enough time to change direction, build momentum, tighten your habits, and prove to yourself that you can finish the year differently than you started it.This episode is about locking in.Running the play.Stopping the constant overthinking, second-guessing, restarting, and waiting for motivation.You already know some of what you need to do.Now it's time to execute.We also talk about love—and how real love has to start inside first.If you don't know how to value yourself, spend time with yourself, forgive yourself, and become someone you can trust, you'll keep asking other people to give you what you haven't learned how to give yourself.The next 90 days aren't about becoming perfect.They're about becoming more aligned.More disciplined.More present.More loving.More consistent.So stop changing the game plan every five minutes.Run the play.And let the results speak.

RDP security best practices come down to one rule most admins break on day one: that protocol has no business facing the internet. Dr. Mike Saylor and Prasanna Malaiyandi join me to break down why RDP earned the nickname Ransomware Deployment Protocol, who's out there scanning for your open port right now, and what to actually do about it.Here's the part that gets me. Every Windows box ships with this thing turned on. You didn't ask for it. Nobody handed you a manual. It's just there, running, waiting. Mike calls it a dollar store hammer — still a tool, still gets the job done, just not the one you'd pick if anybody gave you a budget. I call it a hack-me sign taped to your back.We get into how initial access brokers work, and it's less sophisticated than you'd hope. Somebody runs a Shodan query, gets a list of every exposed RDP service on the planet with IP addresses and device types, cross-references it against leaked credentials, packages the whole thing up, and sells it. Mike says the recon that used to take days now takes about 30 seconds with the AI tools floating around the dark net.Then there's the credentials-don't-even-matter problem. Default RDP traffic isn't encrypted internally. Mike walks through a routing table poisoning job where his team captured an admin's keystrokes going to a server. No login required. Just be in the middle.The back half is all fixes. Block the protocol and the port, not one or the other, because attackers will happily move to a different port. Check 3389 before you kill it — your database might be sitting on it. Enforce network level authentication. Put a VPN or a zero trust product in front, and Mike points out enterprise-grade stuff runs about six bucks a user now, so the "no budget" excuse is thinner than it used to be. Bastion hosts. Group policy. Monitoring at the endpoint, network, and firewall layers, with a governance layer on top so you know what's allowed before something breaks at 2am.Prasanna plays devil's advocate the whole way through and swears he isn't pro-RDP. Mike wears three hats and can't pick one. I have exactly one opinion and I'm not moving off it.CHAPTERS:00:00 Windows ships with a back door01:26 Welcome and my Facebook Marketplace weekend03:18 Why RDP means Ransomware Deployment Protocol04:46 What RDP actually does05:51 Blue hat, red hat: Mike's split opinion06:11 Does RDP deserve its bad reputation?08:10 On by default, and you can't fully kill it09:30 The back door nobody locks11:52 Does the cloud secure RDP for you?14:12 Who scans for exposed RDP, and how Shodan works17:10 Initial access brokers explained18:36 Vulnerabilities that skip credentials entirely19:08 Unencrypted traffic and stolen keystrokes20:38 The never-on-the-internet rule20:59 The network survival stack: VPN and zero trust23:22 Block the port and the service24:17 Stopping lateral movement once they're inside25:25 Network level authentication27:50 Port 3389: check before you block it29:44 Bastion hosts30:26 Monitoring, auditing, and governance31:19 Blue, red, and purple hats
