The more valuable things are, the more time they take. This is especially true of handmade valuables, like beautiful Turkish rugs. For weeks, months, and sometimes years, workers sit on stools weaving one thread and then another to create the intricate patterns of a rug that is not only striking but will last for generations to come. Marriage is like that—it takes time, but if God's pattern is followed, it produces a thing of lasting value.Download Transcript To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1118/29

We sat down for a real conversation about spellcrafting, from the importance of a refined intention to the magick found only in creativity. Abiding at the crossroads of intuition and systematic knowledge of plants, colors, and energies, and bringing into the circle spirited objects is central to how we do witchcraft. Personal significance and resourcefulness in using everyday items are two of the keys that are so important in our approach. Insights on overcoming perfectionism and trusting intuition in crafting spells are shared, culminating in a recognition of witchcraft's transformative power and our connection to the natural world.Thanks to our fabulous Covina Torch Bearers for joining me and Christen for this excellent discussion.BECOME A STUDENT IN HEKATE'S KEYS.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with real estate leader and coach Tina Caul for a powerful conversation about personal evolution, leadership development, building high-performing teams, and navigating today's noisy world. Tina shares her journey toward inner peace, her strategy for creating a sustainable team model, and how redefining leadership through authenticity and accountability is the new path to real impact. Key Topics Covered Taming Information Overload How consumption of information has skyrocketed from 10% to 80% of waking hours since 1910. Why constant content consumption kills creativity, joy, and self-awareness. Strategies for reclaiming peace and focusing your mind in an overstimulated world. Building Sustainable Teams How Tina's team evolved from nearly 70 agents down to a tighter, more profitable 40-agent model. Why bigger isn't better—and how core values and standards drive real growth. The "team-rich brokerage" model: the next evolution in real estate business structures. Core Values and Culture First How to hire, coach, and fire based on alignment with core values. Why leading with kindness—not niceness—builds a culture of accountability and growth. The “inner circle” concept and how to evaluate your top people using equity buckets. Leadership Through Vulnerability and Real Conversations Why feedback needs to be reframed as “developmental conversations.” How strong leadership is built by addressing hard truths with kindness and permission. The power of leading yourself first before leading others. Let Them: The Art of Letting Go of Control Tina's insights on Mel Robbins' “Let Them” philosophy. How letting go of the need to control leads to more peace, better leadership, and healthier relationships. Applying the “let them” concept to team dynamics, client management, and personal growth. Financial Sustainability for Teams Why many team leaders are running in the red—and how to fix it. How Tina maintains a 20–25% profitability margin while providing world-class support. Open P&L leadership: showing your agents the true costs behind success. Mindset Over Skillset Why success is 80% mental and only 20% tactical. How investing in emotional resilience is the true differentiator for long-term winners. The ripple effects of mastering personal development before chasing external growth. Evolving Beyond Ego to Impact Shifting from needing to be right to achieving the right outcomes. How personal growth naturally drives business growth.

Today we give the straight talk on the state of the economy that operators running tech companies need to hear. We cover:* Ripple Effects: Even if your company doesn't ship atoms, your customers probably do. Expect slower procurement, deferred renewals, and CFOs eyeing legacy tools.* Investor Vibes: Market uncertainty = deal drag. Think longer diligence cycles, cautious boards, and DCF models sweating in real time.* ERP Economics: When Nike gets budget clotheslined, your cloud spend might too. The trickle-down is real.* Hiring Freeze Incoming: Some MBA grads might be ghosted before day one. And no, Nike won't double hire next year to make up for it.* Winners in the Wreckage: Recommerce, maintenance software, parts platforms, and demand planning tools could quietly shine.* Finance Playbook: Monthly budget reviews, cautious hiring, flexible vendor contracts, and employee comms that treat folks like grownups.* Operational Clarity: Turbulent markets are a great time to re-educate teams on “how we make money here.” Finance literacy = strategic clarity.* Sponsor Shoutout: Gelt for Mostly Metrics—proactive tax strategy for high-growth CFOs who want more than just compliance. go.joingelt.com/mostlymetrics Get full access to Mostly metrics at www.mostlymetrics.com/subscribe

With President Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries now in full swing, what consequences from an economic standpoint could the U.S. be facing? And what was the path that led us here? Hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen put the tariffs question to economist and author Dani Rodrik. Rodrik is  the Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and the author of the book Straight Talk on Trade: Ideas for a Sane World Economy. Beginning with the historical context and purpose of tariffs, the conversation covers how the political and social dissatisfaction with hyperglobalization opened the door for these extreme tariffs, whether or not they're an effective tool in modern trade policy, and what alternative strategies exist to rebuild America's middle class.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.
