Laura, a registered nurse and healthcare leader,  shares their family's difficult journey, from Greg's successful football career at the University of Utah to the onset of debilitating symptoms like paranoia, aggression, and psychosis that were misdiagnosed for years as mental illness.They delve into what CTE is, how it differs from a single concussion, and why it can only be diagnosed posthumously. Laura provides crucial insights from the forefront of CTE research, including the critical role of sub-concussive hits, the stages of the disease, and the ongoing work of the Concussion Legacy Foundation.This conversation is a powerful call for awareness, compassion, and change. While the topic is heavy, Laura emphasizes hope—hope for future diagnostics, hope for better player safety, and hope for individuals and families navigating similar challenges today. If you or a loved one has a history of contact sports or repetitive head trauma, this episode is an essential listen.SummaryThis episode provides a comprehensive and heartfelt exploration of CTE through the personal story of Laura Dyer and her brother, Greg. Key points discussed include:What is CTE? CTE is a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head trauma, including both concussions and, crucially, hundreds or thousands of sub-concussive impacts over years.Greg's Story: A talented football player, Greg began experiencing unexplained symptoms in his twenties, including hearing voices, extreme paranoia, impulsivity, and aggression. He was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, as his football history was never considered a factor by treating physicians.The Diagnosis: CTE can currently only be diagnosed after death by examining brain tissue. Laura details the process of donating her brother's brain to Boston University for research and the relief and validation the subsequent diagnosis brought the family.Symptoms and Stages: CTE manifests differently; in younger individuals (20s-30s), it often appears as mental/behavioral issues (anxiety, depression, impulsivity), while in older individuals (50s+), it can resemble dementia. Greg was diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE.A Message of Hope and Action: Laura stresses that a CTE diagnosis is not a death sentence and that many people live full lives while managing symptoms. She urges anyone concerned—whether athletes or family members—to seek support, use available resources like the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and believe loved ones when they share what they are experiencing.Advice for Parents and Athletes: The key takeaway is to be aware of the risks of repetitive head trauma in contact sports, take head injuries seriously, and prioritize brain health. While football may not disappear, awareness and safety protocols are improving.Resources Mentioned:Concussion Legacy Foundation: https://www.concussionfoundation.org/ (Includes a helpline and resources for support)Boston University UNITE Brain Bank / CTE Center: https://www.bu.edu/cte/Podcast Episode with Dr. Diane Spangler on Mental Health & Concussion: Watch on YouTubeBethany's Free Guide: "The 5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Available at www.theconcussioncoach.comThe episode concludes with Laura's hope that Greg's legacy will be one of raising awareness and improving the lives of future athletes, emphasizing that support and resources are available for those who need them.

SummaryThis episode continues our study of the armor of God and finishes looking at Eph 6:15, where we're told to put on, as our shoes, the readiness of the gospel of peace. Most Christian men want to be contagious Christians. We know that sharing our faith is something our Lord wants us to do and when we do seize opportunities to talk with others about Christ the experience pumps joy and energy into our walk with Him. We also realize that if we are to lead our homes well, our wives and kids need to see us modeling Jesus' love for the lost and a commitment to seeking ways to share him with others. So, we want to be ready, when the opportunity presents itself, to steer a conversation towards the good news that our listener can have a personal relationship with Christ. This episode looks at three ways TO BE READY when that opportunity arises.For Further Prayerful Thought:Does realizing that Jesus tailored the good news to others based on the way they were experiencing the brokenness of life in this fallen world discourage you because it makes sharing Christ harder, since there is no “one size fits all” or encourage you because it helps you realize how wise we are to be about relationships and the uniqueness of every human?Which 2 or 3 of those in your circle of lost associates and friends has God put on your hearts. What might be missing in their lives compared to what you have in Christ?Is God prompting you to be more intentional about praying for and reaching the lost? What might additional intentionality look like for you.For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Angels, Satan, Demons by Michael Lockstampfor (@mikocks)SUMMARYThis sermon explains that angels and demons are created spiritual beings who operate primarily in the spiritual realm but can influence the material world. While angels serve God's purposes, Satan and his demons—who make up one-third of all angels—rebelled against God and now work to deceive humans through disguise, dialogue, doubt, and denial.

SummaryThis is part two of a two-part series where Christian Hassold and Ayelet Shipley demystify the complexities of agency valuations, exploring the interplay between buyer and seller motivations, and discussing real-world scenarios that illustrate various deal structures. They emphasize the importance of understanding the unique dynamics of the agency market, including the factors that influence valuations and the creative structuring of deals to meet the needs of both parties. Discussion HighlightsReviews a $3.4M revenue, $1.7M EBITDA agency valued at $10.2M (6x multiple). Creativity is needed for deals under $2M EBITDA due to higher perceived risk and sensitivity of margins.This deal involved a 50% cash consideration ($5.1M) and 50% rollover ($5.1M). The cash consideration was paid quarterly over three years, performance-based (not an earnout), with payments halted or reduced if revenue drops significantly (below 50% or 50-99% of the agreed-upon value).We also discussed a second deal involving a $40M revenue agency with $9M EBITDA commanding a 10x multiple ($90M EV) - a top of market multiple because of high gross retention (>85%) and >80% retainer-based clients. The challenge is managing the risk of large clients churning post-closing when the multiple is top of the market.Involved a 15% rollover. A significant earnout (up to an extra $9M) is offered to bridge the gap and incentivize the seller for growth.Beyond financial metrics, we discuss factors that influence valuations like the acquiring entity's need for specific capabilities, clients, talent, customer retention, and consistent growth (10-20% year-over-year).Chapters0:00 Introduction 2:06 Scenario D: Structuring a Deal Below $2M EBITDA3:10 Why Sub-$2M EBITDA Deals Are Hard4:53 Performance-Based Cash Payouts 6:18 Keeping Sellers Engaged Through Uncertainty7:52 Incentivizing Sellers Through Equity and Bonuses11:21 Scenario C: Challenges of Scaling a Large Agency12:57 Structuring a $40M, $9M EBITDA Deal at 10x15:28 Market View on Earnouts in EV19:25 When Growth and Retention Justify High Multiples20:50 Market Range for Cash-at-Close Offers21:20 How Strategic Buyers Compete with HoldCos22:53 Wrap-Up & Closing ThoughtsConnect with Christian & In/organic PodcastChristian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/In/organic on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/inorganic-podcastIn/organic on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InorganicPodcast/featuredConnect with E27 guest, Ayelet Shipley on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-shipley-b16330149/ Hosted on Acast.

Preached with fire and conviction, “Whatever It Takes” challenges the laziness, compromise, and lukewarmness that infect modern Christianity.Drawing from Acts 21 and Paul's willingness to suffer and die for the Gospel, Pastor Mitchell confronts the casual believer and compels every listener to re-evaluate their priorities. Whether it's choosing God over football, holiness over entertainment, or mission over comfort, this sermon is a prophetic word to a generation in spiritual decline.
