A Stone of Stumbling, A Rock of Offense (2026-6-17) Live Wednesday Evening Service with Pastor Don Ragsdale

Making the leap from high-volume personal lines to complex commercial risk is one of the hardest transitions in the insurance industry. To survive the jump, you have to completely drop your ego, embrace the discomfort of not knowing the answers, and become utterly obsessed with learning the craft.My guest, Marc Vital-Herne, Risk Management Consultant at USI, joins me to share his incredible journey from fielding 25 calls a day and selling 2,000 policies a year at GEICO to advising C-Suite executives on commercial risk. We discuss what it really means to be a "Student of the Game," why representation matters in building a personal brand, and how to successfully pivot your technical knowledge using designations like the CLCS. Mark also opens up about his deeply personal connection to Blood Cancers United and why serving your community will build more trust and credibility than any sales pitch ever could. If you want to elevate your career from transactional order-taker to trusted subject matter expert, this episode is your masterclass.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaTimestamped Outline(00:00) Introduction: Meet Marc Vital-Herne(01:21) Stumbling into Insurance: From Oil & Gas to Risk Advising(02:09) The GEICO Grind: Handling the Chaos of 2,000 Policies a Year(05:38) Making the Jump: Transitioning from Personal to Commercial Lines at USI(07:09) The "Student of the Game" Mindset: Why Obsession Separates Elite Producers(08:59) Representation Matters: Being the Example You Wanted to See(11:12) Building a Personal Brand: Becoming a Subject Matter Expert(15:15) Advice for Young Producers: Embrace the Discomfort of the Unknown(18:02) The Three Weekly Priorities: Why You Must Get More People to Know You(19:37) The Technical Pivot: Using Designations to Bridge the Knowledge Gap(22:23) Service Over Sales: Why Giving Back Creates Fierce Client Advocates(26:12) Blood Cancers United: Turning Personal Tragedy into a Legacy of Impact(33:11) The 2026 Visionary of the Year Nomination: Character Above Quotas(35:36) Marc's Lightning Round: Morning Reflections, The Last Dance, and Reading for SubstanceCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Victory is not just a moment we reach. It is a way of life we walk out daily in Jesus. Kevin Nickerson preached from Matthew 14 and the story of Peter walking on the water, reminding students that victory in Christ means overcoming, prevailing, and continuing forward even when the storm is still raging. The world often defines victory as winning a game, reaching a goal, or arriving at a destination, but biblical victory is deeper than that. It is learning to live, move, and trust through Christ. Kevin walked through six practical movements for living a victorious life: desire, decision, dedication, distraction, deliverance, and declaration. Peter had a desire to be where Jesus was. He made a decision to get out of the boat. He stayed focused on Christ long enough to do the impossible. But when distraction came, he began to sink, and his deliverance came through one simple prayer: “Lord, save me.” “You're not fighting for victory,” Kevin said. “You're fighting from victory because Jesus has already won it for you and for me.” He also reminded us, “Victory is not necessarily a destination. Victory is actually a way of life.” This message is a practical call to get out of the boat and walk toward Jesus. The boat may represent comfort, control, familiarity, or fear, but faith requires movement. Desire alone is not enough. We must make the decision to trust God, stay dedicated to the process, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, ask Him for help when we sink, and declare the victory He has already won. The application is simple: desire more of God, decide to follow Him, stay dedicated when the emotion fades, overcome distractions, cry out for deliverance, and declare what God has done. In Christ, failure does not define us. Stumbling is a moment, not our identity. Victory is found as we keep walking with Jesus.

What actually happens when a great technician becomes a shop foreman?In this episode of The Wrench Turners Podcast, I sit down with Mike Ramirez and Aaron Marion, two experienced shop foremen, to talk about the real work of leading technicians on the shop floor.This conversation goes far beyond diagnostics, flat rate, and fixing cars.Mike talks about going from a producing technician to a shop multiplier, helping other techs remove bottlenecks, make more hours, and work better as a team. Aaron shares what it's like leading inside a high-end Porsche environment, why mentorship still matters years into the trade, and why no technician should ever believe they've learned everything.The episode digs into:How mentors build technicians without doing the work for themWhy shop foremen need to document their processesHow team chemistry changes the entire shopWhy reputation matters more than most technicians realizeHow ego can limit growth in the automotive industryWhy personal finances affect technician happiness and performanceWhat real shop leadership looks like when the car, the customer, or the team is strugglingThis is a conversation for technicians, shop foremen, service managers, fixed operations directors, and anyone who cares about building better leaders inside automotive service departments.Because the best tool in the shop is still a good leader.Negative PushesPositive PullsGod Blessj.Find Mike:LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-ramirez-1782152a/Find Aaron:LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-marion-257b18231/⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

We all want retirement success. But how do we achieve it? What if the best method is to identify possible *failures* first, and then simply work backward to avoid those failures?  Looking for a financial planner?  → PlanWithJesse.com In this follow-up episode, Jesse completes his inversion-based framework for retirement planning by outlining the remaining risks that can derail long-term financial outcomes, shifting from market and inflation concerns to more personal, behavioral, and systemic threats. He begins with shock spending and long-term care risk, emphasizing the scale and unpredictability of end-of-life care costs and arguing that insurance alone is often insufficient, making realistic cash flow modeling and programs like Medicaid more practical planning tools. He then covers cognitive decline risk, highlighting how reduced decision-making capacity can lead to fraud, mismanagement, and financial error, and recommends safeguards such as legal protections, trusted contacts, and automated, simplified financial systems. Behavioral risk is framed as the danger of emotional decision-making, with mitigation strategies including automation, written investment policies, and reduced exposure to market volatility. Jesse then addresses assumptions risk, warning that small inaccuracies in assumptions about markets, inflation, taxes, or even one's future self can compound significantly in retirement projections, advocating for base rates and disciplined "what-if" analysis. He explores policy, legislation, and tax risk as an unavoidable layer of uncertainty around Social Security, taxation, and healthcare policy, suggesting retirees stress test outcomes without overreacting to speculation. Identity and purpose risk follows, underscoring that retirement success depends heavily on structure, meaning, and social connection, not just financial security. Finally, he introduces "deep risks"—deflation, confiscation, and devastation—arguing that while rare, these systemic threats reinforce the central conclusion that no portfolio design eliminates all risks, and effective retirement planning ultimately comes down to balancing trade-offs and building resilience. Key Takeaways: • Shock spending risk includes large, unexpected expenses that can destabilize retirement plans. • Long-term care is one of the most significant and unpredictable retirement costs. • Cognitive decline can lead to financial mistakes, fraud vulnerability, and poor decision-making. • Behavioral risk stems from emotional and irrational financial decisions. • Assumptions risk arises from unrealistic expectations about markets, inflation, or personal behavior. • Policy and tax risk includes uncertainty around Social Security, taxes, and healthcare programs. • Identity and purpose risk highlights the psychological challenges of retirement. • Deep risks (deflation, confiscation, devastation) are rare but potentially catastrophic. • No single strategy can eliminate all risks—retirement planning is about balancing trade-offs and building resilience.

ON ADVENTURE PODCAST |  EPISODE 72 Episode 72: Risk in Every Form with Greg Winchester    Episode Description What does it take to keep saying yes to risk, in the boardroom, on the trail, and across all seven continents, for forty years and counting? Greg Winchester calls himself an armchair explorer, but the title sells him short. Over a 40-plus-year career in commercial real estate, he has worked through the savings and loan crisis, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID, first as a banker, then as a co-owner, and today as an investor through his family office, Summit Investors. In 2003, he and two partners bought their company from its founders in a management buyout, personally guaranteeing the entire debt with 300 employees and no safety net. As Greg puts it, it was like walking to the end of the diving board and jumping, hoping there was water below. A lifelong Boy Scout who fell in love with the outdoors in the Roan Highlands of North Carolina, Greg went on to serve on the board of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and to build a life of generosity that reaches all seven continents, inspired by the book Seven Summits. From an orphanage in Bolivia to a pastors' training center in Uganda, a nearly thousand-year-old cathedral in Winchester, England, and Sir Ernest Shackleton's grave on South Georgia Island near Antarctica, he and his wife set out to support smaller, lesser-known nonprofits and build real relationships, not just write checks. In this conversation, Josh and Greg trace the many forms risk can take. They dig into why leverage is a two-edged sword, how diversification and dry powder let you run into the fire when others are running out, why your gut becomes a kind of superpower after twenty years in any arena, and how setting goals every year since his twenties shaped a life of purpose. Greg also shares the two questions a pair of mentors asked him in his mid-fifties, what is a noble cause you can get involved with, and what do you actually want to do, and why finishing well may be the greatest adventure of all.

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE. In my world, people are becoming more and more volatile. Christianity, in my opinion, is not exempt. Personally, I regularly receive mockery, ridicule and often aggressive behavior from those who become greatly offended when speaking about how YHWH's Torah Instructions are a blessing and for the Believer today. Why is this? In this episode I will propose that a biblical pattern is unfolding. Looking back through history allows us to see that when people will not listen and reject the Creator's commandments and instructions, something interesting happens. YHWH places "stumbling blocks" in front of them. Could it be possible that this is what we're beginning to see unfold in this age? Let's find out.

King Josiah was a godly man who met a sad end at only 39 years old. We can take important warnings that Josiah ignored so we can remain more faithful to God.

In this episode, Jean-Martin and Chris sit down with Jessica Paige of Adama Farm to discuss her journey from university student to first-generation regenerative farmer and influencer. Jessica explores the importance of "romanticizing" farm life, explaining how finding beauty in the intensive labor makes the work more enjoyable and sustainable, and how sharing this beauty online can inspire new young people to get into farming. She reflects on her formative apprenticeship at Frith Farm, her spiritual awakening through nature, and the empowerment of leading an all-female crew. The conversation covers the practicalities of starting a farm, from land acquisition to navigating the "year two and three" hurdles of infrastructure and irrigation. Ultimately, she highlights how a small-scale farm can become a vibrant community hub through farm-to-table dinners and shared connection to the land.

Technology stocks are experiencing a downturn due to rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions. Central banks are increasing interest rates to combat inflation, raising borrowing costs for tech companies. Geopolitical tensions and trade disputes introduce additional market risks, while supply chain issues, such as semiconductor shortages, affect production and revenue. Investor sentiment is shifting as many diversify portfolios away from tech stocks, contributing to price declines. Strategic investors may find opportunities as valuations adjust.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Morning Mantra: "If you stumble, make it part of the dance."  A mistake that makes you humble is as valuable as an achievement.  It teaches you to laugh at yourself.  To be real and to show you're human.It shows others that you are trying.  It's safer to not try something new and eliminate the risk of a "stumble" but that's not living.Letting people see your "stumble" (and recovery) helps them relate to you because everyone on earth has tripped a few times.So, don't worry about it because the greatest mistake you could ever make, is being too afraid you'll make one.#BeGoodAtStumbling  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotesQuote: River Maria Urke

Can you succeed without setting expectations & goals to hit?In Episode #520 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: riff on dreaming big: how our top‑level life aims can stay steady for decades while the reasons and execution evolve, whether you truly need a “big dream” to reach elite performance, how to cultivate direction in your twenties by chasing curiosity and I tease a 20‑year out‑of‑this‑world goal that's resurfaced from childhood.

Much like the seams in any suit jacket worn by the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Fox News is barely keeping it together. The network still can't get its message straight regarding Trump's disastrous war in Iran.Fox is following the lead of its glorious leader, a man who appeared to act impulsively, when he decided to attack a country of 92 million people with one of the largest militaries in the Middle East.Trump is highly skilled at selling himself, at least to his cultish base of followers, as a powerful leader who can change the world through his force of will. He is a bumbling fool when it comes to getting Americans excited about his flights of fancy - conquering Greenland, seizing the Panama Canal, managing Venezuela, crushing Cuba and destroying the government of Iran.Trump has also failed to excited the masses about some of his economic policies such as broad sweeping tariffs on imports or the acquisition of Venezuelan oil which the president called ‘garbage tar' when he was on the campaign trail.Trump makes no real attempt to sell the need for military conflict to the American public. The average American couldn't identify Nicolás Maduro, Miguel Díaz-Canel, and Ali Khamenei the deceased Iranian supreme leader or his son Mojtaba Khamenei in a line up.In comparison former president George W. Bush and his administration pitched the Iraq War for nearly a year and a half before the first shots were fired.Saddam Hussein and his sons Uday and Qusay became household names. Their excessive lifestyle and corruption along with their many crimes against humanity and the people of Iran were drilled into the minds of farmers, teachers and factory workers across the country.Bush was also exploiting a grief-stricken country as he falsely connected the horrific terrorist attack on 9/11 to Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq.Trump isn't helping solidify support for his poorly planned war against Iran as he plays golf on the weekends, holds press conferences with his fawning cabinet members, and accepts meaningless awards meant to stroke his ego.Many Americans view Trump as a puppet of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has longed to attack Iran for decades. The war is already unpopular and will only get more despised if Trump doesn't change the perception that he is fighting on behalf of a foreign government's interest.Fox News doesn't know which way is up. Grainy aerial shots of trucks and buildings being obliterated aren't exactly heroic. There are no clear goals or milestones and seemingly no exit strategy to Trump's latest wild endeavor.
