Here's a question that hits closer to home than most sales reps want to admit: What do you do when you've been away from prospecting for a while and suddenly the call reluctance feels brand new again? That's the situation Dwayne Malmberg from Sugar Land, Texas found himself in. He'd been crushing it in inside sales and appointment setting since the 90s. He was good at it. Really good. But after taking just over two years away from the phones, a new opportunity came along and suddenly he was facing something he didn't expect. The call reluctance. The trepidation. The mental resistance to picking up that phone and dialing invisible strangers. If you've ever taken time away from prospecting and felt that same knot in your stomach when it's time to get back on the phones, you're not alone. And more importantly, there's a systematic way to rebuild that muscle and get back to crushing it. The Raw Truth About Cold Calling Fear Let's get brutally honest: Cold calling creates emotional angst. Period. I've made tens of thousands of cold calls. I make them with my clients during training sessions. I'll make them tomorrow morning. And I still feel that trepidation on the first couple of calls of the day. It's just human. It's natural. It never completely goes away. Think about it like jumping out of an airplane. A few years ago, I got the chance to jump with the United States Army Golden Knights. I was terrified. My heart was pounding. A sergeant even asked if I was okay because apparently I looked frightened. When we got strapped in, I turned to the Golden Knight I was jumping with and asked, "Do you ever get scared?" His answer was revealing: "Yeah, of course I do. My heart's beating a little bit because it's an airplane and I don't know what's going to happen. But I've done it so many times and I've got a routine." That's the key. The routine. The process. The mental preparation that gets you past the fear and into action. The Big Pull: Why You Need Something Worth Fighting For Here's the problem with facing fear: If you don't have something pulling you forward that's bigger than the discomfort you're feeling right now, you'll procrastinate forever. The discipline to run a prospecting block and do your prospecting is the discipline to sacrifice what you want now for what you want most. So before you even think about picking up the phone, sit down and write out what you want. Why are you doing this? What's the goal? Is it a paycheck? A promotion? Financial freedom? Providing for your family? That's your big pull. That's what you focus on when you start your day, not whatever might happen on the call. Because when you're thinking about something as scary as facing rejection, if you don't have a big pull driving you, you'll end up avoiding the work that matters most. For Dwayne, part of his why was clear: He's a caregiver for his disabled wife and needs the flexibility to work from home while still providing for his family. That's a powerful pull. That's something worth pushing through fear for. Building the Muscle: You Can't Bench Press 250 on Day One Let's say you were a bodybuilder in your 30s. You were strong, lifting heavy, crushing it in the gym. Then life happened. Kids came along. Your career took off. You quit working out. Now you decide it's time to get back in shape. What happens if you walk into the gym and try to bench press 250 pounds on day one? You're going to hurt yourself. Maybe badly. The same principle applies to prospecting after time away. You already know how to do it. You've got the muscle memory. Everything inside you is saying, "I got this." But you can't expect to jump back in at the same intensity level you had before. You have to rebuild the muscle gradually. Start with the equivalent of those 20-pound dumbbells and work your way back up. The High-Intensity Sprint Strategy When I found myself in a similar situation years ago, uncomfortable and fearful about making calls, I developed a strategy that I now call high-intensity prospecting sprints. Here's how it works: Break your prospecting into very small, short blocks. Sometimes just five minutes. Make five calls in five minutes. Or ten minutes. Or fifteen minutes. The key is this: Make it so small and manageable that your brain can't talk you out of it. If I tell you to make cold calls all day long, that feels overwhelming. But if I ask you to knock out just five calls, you can do that. Then here's the critical part: Follow each sprint with something inspiring. Read a chapter from Fanatical Prospecting. Listen to a segment of your favorite sales podcast. Watch a training video. Put good stuff in your ears and in front of your eyes that builds your courage and strengthens your heart. Then do another sprint. More inspiration. Another sprint. Repeat. What happens is two things: First, by actually doing it instead of thinking about it, you get better at doing it. You get what I call sales endorphins. You feel good about yourself because you realize, "Hey, I can do this. Everything's okay." Second, by backing up each sprint with inspirational content, you're feeding your mindset. You're building back that mental muscle alongside the practical muscle. The Time Management Factor for Busy Sales Professionals If you're like Dwayne and have a lot of responsibilities outside of sales, time management becomes critical. You can't afford to waste time or dilute your prospecting efforts. The solution is ruthless prioritization and time blocking. Start your day with your most important, highest priority sales activity. Get your prospecting done first thing in the morning when your willpower is strongest and your emotional energy is highest. Here's why this matters: When you've got a lot going on and you're also doing the hardest job in sales (making outbound calls), by the time you get later into your day, you're worn out. Your willpower is depleted. It's going to be exponentially harder to find the motivation to interrupt strangers. But first thing in the morning? You're fresh. You're ready. You can knock out that prospecting block and then ride that momentum through the rest of your day. Block your calendar in core chunks for everything you need to do. If you have an appointment at 3 PM that'll take three hours, fine. But that first hour of your day? That's sacred prospecting time. Nothing else touches it. The Mindset Foundation: Feed Your Mind Daily The first section of Fanatical Prospecting focuses on mindset because that's where everything begins. If your mindset isn't right, technique doesn't matter. Scripts don't matter. Nothing matters because you won't execute. Feed your mind daily with content that builds you up. Listen to a sales podcast three days a week. Read sales books. Watch training videos. Surround yourself with messages that reinforce the behaviors you want to develop. When you're in a situation where you feel fear or emotional angst, putting good stuff in your ears and eyes has a tendency to make your heart stronger and build your courage. This isn't fluffy motivation. This is practical psychology. You're literally rewiring your brain to associate prospecting with positive emotions instead of fear and anxiety. The Bottom Line Getting back in the prospecting game after time away isn't about summoning superhuman courage or pretending the fear doesn't exist. It's about acknowledging the fear, building a routine to work through it, and gradually rebuilding the muscle you once had. You already know how to do this. You've done it before. You just need to give yourself permission to start small, build consistently, and focus on progress over perfection. Start with your why. Build your prospecting sprints. Front-load your day. Feed your mind with the right content. And remember: The first call is always the hardest because you're lifting that 10,000-pound weight. But once you make it, the momentum starts building. You've got this. Now go pick up the phone and prove it to yourself. Want to learn how to leverage LinkedIn to fill your pipeline and never run out of opportunities?

Hello IMPACT SHOW passengers, this is your captain speaking —Todd Durkin, coming to you LIVE from 35,000 feet altitude somewhere between San Diego and Whitefish, Montana!  This one's different as I could not contain my excitement enroute to Montana for our annual Mountain Retreat. I just HAD to hit record because my mind was in major FLOW mode and the lessons were downloading!  This episode is all about MINDSET — how to stay calm in chaos, find clarity in the climb, and keep your faith strong even when life gets turbulent. Because just like flying, life doesn't always give you smooth air. But you can always control your response, your attitude, and your altitude.  Here's What You'll Learn in Episode 453: 1. You Can't Control the Turbulence — But You CAN Control Your Response. Life's gonna shake you. Business dips, plans get flipped, curveballs come outta nowhere. But high performers? They don't panic — we breathe, we stay calm, and we trust our training. I share exactly what happened on my flight this past week and how to navigate life's storms with poise, peace, and purpose. 2. High Altitude = High Awareness. When you rise above the weeds, you see the big picture. Up here, the clarity is unreal. I talk about how to "get above the noise" so you can see your mission, your purpose, and your life from a higher perspective — because clarity doesn't come in chaos; it comes in stillness. And you can't see the vision when you're stuck on the runway. 3. Pre-Flight Rituals = Peak Performance Habits. Every pilot has a pre-flight checklist — and you need one too. I walk you through my own daily ritual: movement, gratitude, journaling, & prayer. These habits anchor me, fuel me, and set the tone for the day. Because I'm telling you — when you win the morning…you win the day; and when you win the day(s)…you ultimately win the weeks, months, quarters, and year(s). 4. Your Final Destination Is Determined by Your Dreams. We all need more "blue-sky" time. We all need more "white-space" in our daily rituals. It's powerful to have some built-in, regular time to write, think, dream, and ultimately do. That's why I'm also firing off 10 powerful questions to get you dreaming again — your Big 5 for Life, your Big 5 for 2026, and what God is whispering in this season. Don't drift. Don't settle. And now is a GREAT time of the year to start 'dreaming.' 5. Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude. You cannot fly high if you're surrounded by people who live low. Protect your energy. Fuel your mind with gratitude and growth. Surround yourself with people who elevate, inspire, and challenge you. Because the higher you go, the thinner the air — and the fewer the distractions. Key Takeaways: Mindset determines your mission. You can't control the turbulence, but you can control your response. Calm is a superpower. Gratitude is rocket fuel. Dream boldly. Live purposefully. Fly with faith. The world needs your energy, faith, and fire — at full altitude. My friends — life's going to have turbulence. We are going to have seasons where life is "bumpy" to say the least. It's important during those times to stay calm; Stay grateful; Stay focused; and stay tapped-in. Keep your seatbelt fastened, your faith strong, and your mindset sky-high. It's time for take-off…it's time for IGNITION!

Let's be real: sometimes, being told to “just be grateful” when things are hard feels… gross. We get it. Gratitude can be helpful, but not when it's used to slap a smiley face sticker over real pain.In this episode, Allie and Ellen talk about what taking a descriptive approach to gratitude looks like. It's the kind that helps you carry the hard stuff, not erase it. Allie shares what she's learned while recovering from a serious fall (and yes, her therapist will be proud of this one), and Ellen dives into why “good vibes only” doesn't help us or our clients.Whether you're a pet parent knee-deep in the messy middle or a pro helping others through it, this episode is your reminder that you can say “this sucks”… and still find the tiny glimmers along the way.TLDL (too long, didn't listen):1️⃣ Gratitude isn't pretending it's all fine – You can acknowledge hardship and find small things to appreciate; both can be true.2️⃣ Little glimmers matter – Whether it's a client breakthrough, a funny pet moment, or a small win, collecting and revisiting these moments helps you stay grounded when things get tough.3️⃣ Build your support system – Surround yourself with people who help you see the light when you're ready and know when to just sit with you in the dark.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

Did you know that one aspect of being a really successful trader is to surround yourself with other successful traders — other like-minded people from all around the world who are out there achieving greatness in their trading and in their lives in general? Let's talk about that really important topic and more right now. Hey there, it's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 614. Do you belong to a community of traders? Today I want to talk about a topic that does not get discussed very much. It's a really important topic though, and it can make or break your trading. It's about being part of a community — surrounding yourself, whether it's in person or online, with other like-minded people. People out there who are trading the same way as you. People who are trying to achieve things in their life in general. I think that's such an important part of trading, and I know that for you that's also really important. Survey results show people need to be part of a community of traders. The reason I know that is that a couple of weeks ago, I sent out a survey to people who are not my clients — people who have written to me over the years asking for help or downloaded e-books, been on webinars, etc., but have not yet joined. One of the questions was all about trading community, and it actually had the highest single response. With one answer, it was an overwhelming majority of people — in fact, 76% of all respondents — who said that being part of a community of traders just like them and other traders from around the world is the thing that they are missing out on, and the thing that they value most. 76% of respondents said, “Yes, that's very, very important to me.” The TFTC community helps our clients succeed. And so it got me thinking, because one of the things that we really pride ourselves on here at The Forex Trading Coach is our community. There are a number of ways that we do that. We keep in touch with people, and when I think about how people interact and I look at other ways that people interact online, what we do is vastly different. The trouble is, out there most social media platforms are full of keyboard warriors — quite honestly, idiots at times — the majority probably of people who are out there telling others what they should and shouldn't do. People are taking advice from others who don't really know what they're doing, and they're all out there with their own agenda — not really trading. Most trading forums are a waste of time. The other thing I used to be part of years ago — and I haven't for a long time now — is other forums. The problem is they often get overtaken by some clown who thinks they're going to dominate the forum and they know more than everybody else. A discussion gets out of hand, arguing starts, and it's just ridiculous. Or someone comes up with a good idea and a strategy, and a few threads later it's completely changed because someone says, “Oh, we need to add this,” or “I don't like that,” or “We need to do that.

Do you ask yourself questions such as "Who am I?" "What's my purpose?" "What is God?" Our guest today, JD Messinger, received answers to these questions and more when he had a spontaneous awakening-type experience. He explains how he sees and hears things that most people do not, yet everyone can learn to do this. During an NDE experience after he broke his neck, he went through the tunnel of Light and came back with spiritual gifts. Prior to this, JD was the former CEO of Ernst & Young Consulting (Singapore), one of 37 distinguished graduates from the US Naval Academy, a former fireman, nuclear submarine officer, and former radio and television show creator, producer, and host. In the world of business, he helped supervise the Valdez Oil spill cleanup and is an advisor to Fortune 100 clients and governments on five continents. After his experience, which he says, "was no accident," he began having prophetic visions and insights. Over the course of eleven days, he conversed with a "mysterious friend" in what became the book, "11 Days in May: The Conversation That Will Change Your Life." Today he offers wisdom that he learned including the importance of focusing on the positive. He says do not give energy to what you do not want. Surround yourself with people who support your beliefs. Be with people who are trying to promote awareness. He also talks about looking for signs, noting synchronicities, and seeing the magic in life every day. Info: TheMessingerInstitute.com.

Today's episode brings scripture and neuroscience together to help you break free. Whether you're battling burnout, depression, stress, or overwhelm, this is your step by step Bible study and devotion time that is rooted in scripture and the science of how God created your brain to heal.   Today's Scripture: Matthew 5:10-11 ESV Today's Gratitude Challenge Prompt covers our last verses in the Beautitudes, 10-11.

In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner and co-host Katelyn Mitchell unpack how the wealthy think differently about time and relationships — and why mastering both is the foundation for long-term freedom.They discuss how successful entrepreneurs leverage delegation, guard their calendars, and build powerful connections that multiply opportunity.This conversation goes deep into creating leverage in life, scaling impact through people, and protecting your most valuable resource — your time.

When Life Feels Out of ControlWhen everything around you seems chaotic, the first step is to pause and breathe. In moments of turmoil, the mind often magnifies problems, making them appear larger than they are. By slowing down, you give yourself the space to regain perspective. Focus on what is within your control — your thoughts, reactions, and daily actions. Write down the top three things you can realistically manage today, and let go of what is beyond your reach. Control begins with clarity, and clarity begins with calm.Next, reestablish structure and connection. Create a simple routine, even if it's just waking up at a set time, exercising briefly, and reflecting in prayer or journaling. Consistency stabilizes emotions. Surround yourself with supportive voices — mentors, friends, or faith-centered communities — who remind you of your purpose and strength. Remember, feeling out of control doesn't mean you've lost your direction; it's an invitation to refocus your energy on what truly matters and rebuild from within.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about what action steps to take when 'your life feels out of control'. 

Proverbs 13 invites us into a profound exploration of what it means to live wisely in every dimension of our lives. This chapter unfolds like a roadmap, guiding us through four essential territories: correction, desires and resources, God's Word, and relationships with legacy. We discover that wisdom isn't merely intellectual knowledge—it's Jesus Himself, personified and active in our daily choices. The journey begins with correction, reminding us that growth requires humility to receive rebuke and instruction. We're challenged to guard our mouths, recognizing that words flowing from our hearts shape our reality and either preserve or destroy our lives. The contrast between the diligent and the lazy, the truthful and the deceitful, becomes starkly clear. As we move through this chapter, we encounter the liberating truth that material wealth doesn't equal true richness—some of the poorest people possess the greatest treasures of joy, friendship, and purpose. We're confronted with the reality that pride generates all conflict, while humility opens the door to salvation itself. The fountain of life flows from God's Word, turning us away from death's snares and filling us with hope that sustains even in seasons of waiting. Perhaps most powerfully, we're reminded that wisdom builds legacy—not just financial inheritance, but character, faith, and godly example passed to our children and grandchildren. The companions we choose, the correction we embrace, and the pursuit of righteousness over wickedness determine whether we walk in satisfaction or perpetual emptiness.### Sermon Notes#### Introduction- The speaker acknowledges the joke about being long-winded and expresses gratitude for the church's support and involvement in missions.- Video presentation showcasing the impact of Vessel of Honor Ministries in Myanmar, Kenya, and the Bahamas, highlighting God's faithfulness and the church's annual $10,000 contribution.#### Main Sermon: Proverbs 13 - "The Way of the Wise"1. **Introduction to Proverbs 13**  - Proverbs often appears disjointed, but it reveals a moral progression.  - Wisdom is personified as Jesus throughout Proverbs.2. **Four Subsections of Proverbs 13**  - **Wisdom Begins with Correction (Verses 1-6)**   - A wise son listens to correction; a scoffer does not.   - The mouth reflects the heart.   - Words can preserve or destroy life.   - The diligent thrive; the lazy fail.   - Righteousness hates falsehood; the wicked seek lies.  - **Wisdom Governs Desires and Resources (Verses 7-12)**   - Material wealth does not equal true riches.   - The rich may be ransomed; the poor are unnoticed.   - True hope sustains the heart.  - **Wisdom Delights in God's Word and Counsel (Verses 13-19)**   - Despising God's Word leads to destruction.   - God's Word is life-giving.   - Humility is key to wisdom.   - Desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul.  - **Wisdom Builds Relationships and Legacy (Verses 20-25)**   - Walking with the wise leads to wisdom.   - Avoiding evil brings good.   - A good man leaves an inheritance for descendants.   - Discipline shows love to children.### Practical Applications1. **Seek Wisdom in Correction**  - Be open to constructive criticism and correction.  - Reflect on how you can be more receptive to wise counsel.2. **Evaluate Your Desires and Resources**  - Consider where your desires are leading you.  - Use your resources wisely for long-term benefits rather than temporary pleasures.3. **Engage Deeply with God's Word**  - Make daily Bible reading a habit to understand God's wisdom.  - Apply biblical principles to navigate life's challenges.4. **Build Meaningful Relationships and Legacy**  - Surround yourself with wise individuals to grow in wisdom.  - Think about the legacy you want to leave for future generations.### Discussion Questions1. **Wisdom and Correction:**  - How do you typically respond to correction, and how can you improve your openness to it?  - What are some practical steps you can take to guard your speech and reflect a heart of wisdom?2. **Desires and Resources:**  - How can you align your desires with God's wisdom to ensure they lead to true fulfillment?  - In what ways can you better manage your resources to avoid vanity and instead support others?3. **God's Word and Counsel:**  - What challenges do you face in making time for God's Word daily, and how can you overcome them?  - How has God's Word been a source of life and guidance in a specific situation you've faced?4. **Relationships and Legacy:**  - Who are the wise individuals in your life, and how have they influenced you?  - What steps can you take to ensure you are leaving a positive legacy for your descendants?These notes, applications, and questions can help individuals reflect on how they can apply the teachings of Proverbs 13 to their lives and encourage meaningful discussions in a group setting.

Trump brings Gaza war crimes home to US autistics.Using starvation to subjugate people is a war crime, whether at the point of a gun or denying SNAP benefits.November 1st, SNAP halted. Healthcare funding threatened. Social Security could vanish, Trump warns. 42 million Americans face losing food assistance. Not someday—right now.A nation that uses starvation on its own civilians? I'm no lawyer, but I'd argue that's tantamount to war on its own people. Any day of the week. And I consider it a crime in its own right, even if courts reserve “war crime” for armed conflict.I can hear it already: “You're being dramatic. That's hyperbolic. You can't compare domestic policy to Gaza.”Watch me.Medieval siege techniques. Surround them and starve them out. Whether it's Gaza or Indiana.What's Actually Happening?The Trump administration threatens benefits we count on to exist as political leverage during government shutdown negotiations. Support promised to the American public for decades, transformed into weapons to get what Trump wants.Here's what international law says about that. The Rome Statute explicitly classifies starvation of civilians as a war crime, a crime against humanity. Around the world, deliberately depriving people of food for political gain—that's defined as genocide.These aren't my words, they're international law.Gaza starvation: internationally recognized war crime.SNAP weaponization: They can call it an unfortunate policy choice, but it's the same tactic, just a different population. Location doesn't change that. Denying food to gain power simply is withholding food, withholding life for power. They're not negotiating. They're holding a gun to our heads.Why Autistics First?Numbers tell you everything you need to know. Autistics face an 85% unemployment rate. So we depend a lot on SNAP—I do. Most of us depend on Medicaid to see our doctors, and many of us are disabled, unable to work. So SSI dependency just to live, it's a high priority.The government knows exactly who gets hit when they pull these levers: autistics, neurodivergents. We're the most vulnerable first. We have the least political power of any minority group, I think.And look at the language they use. “Efficiency.” “Streamlining.” “Reducing dependency.” It's the old Nazi “useless eaters” logic dressed up in techno-bro management appeal. Killing off the weak, dusted off and wrapped in budget terminology. We're the testing ground, that's how it always works. Start with disabled people. Normalize the tactic. See who complains, see if you can get away with it. Then expand to the next group.We're the canaries in the coal mine. We die first. And we're already choking.The Roll Call of History: Every Empire Does ThisWant to know how I know this is a war crime? Because every failing empire does exactly this. Brings colonial violence home. Every. Single. One.France took torture techniques from Algeria, brought them home for Paris riot control. The U.S. militarized policing in the Philippines, deployed in Ferguson. Britain did the exact same thing: tactics used in the Irish colonies, in India, that came home to British workers as labor disputes escalated.This isn't speculation. This is documented history. The Ottoman Empire in its death throes: Armenian genocide, Greek genocide, Assyrian genocide. Ancient Rome. Ancient Egypt. Every single one.The pattern is always the same. It starts with unpopular groups: Jews, immigrants, disabled people, people they call “defective,” “foreign,” “unproductive.” Test on them first, see if anyone notices, see if anyone stops you, then expand.Scholars have a term for this: the “boomerang effect.” Or “internal colonialism”—when you apply colonial logic to your own people. Black radical thinkers saw this first, by the way. They recognized the pattern decades ago.The Gaslighting Ends HereSo when someone says “You're being dramatic”? No. I'm being historically accurate.“That's hyperbolic.” The Rome Statute disagrees. I can read you the details.“You can't compare domestic policy to war.” Every empire in history already done that. They already made that comparison for me.We're not comparing tragedies. “Who's suffering more than who?” We're recognizing tragedy.When policy debates require trigger warnings like this article, like this livestream, maybe it's not policy.When negotiations threaten survival, maybe they're not negotiations.When efficiency means starvation, maybe it's not efficient. It's fucking violence.That need for trigger warnings says it's violence. Not discourse. We're not being fragile. We're being informed. We're watching it happen in real time. Hell, it's obvious in every bowl of beans I eat instead of a hell of heavily tariffed hamburger.What We DoLiving through empire in decline: deadly for many. But here's what we do.We call it as we see it. We refuse sanitized language.When they say “policy,” we call it violence. Because starvation kills as sure as a bullet. Just slower.When they say “negotiate,” we name it hostage taking for the purpose of political power.When they say “efficiency,” we shout starvation tactics.It's medieval siege by budget. No catapults. No cannons. Just clean spreadsheets.We document the pattern. We recognize what's really happening while it's happening. We tell the truth about what we're witnessing. And we survive together.How? Let's talk again soon on meaningful resistance, survival, and mutual aid. I'm nearly ready to share my thoughts next week in my next livestream.The Picture I Want to Leave You WithTrump brings Gaza war crimes home. Not as a metaphor—as a moral diagnosis.Same tactics, similar intent, different location, same fucking outcome.Starvation is starvation. Siege is siege. Death is death. Even if the law reserves “war crimes” for battlefields and guys in uniform.Starting with autistics, starting with disabled people, starting with poor people, starting with anyone who needs to eat and expanding from there. Because that's how it always works.That's not drama, not autistic overreaction. If I ever hear that again—fuck the gaslighting we've lived through all our damn fucking lives.That's international law in definitions. That's documented history in its examples. That's pattern recognition across eras. We're just the ones recognizing it first.ClosingListen, that's all I got really. This episode, it's why I do these livestreams. Why I need this community, you guys.Because when they gaslight us, we need witnesses. We need truth.When they isolate us, we need each other.When they threaten our survival, we need to document what's happening in real time.See you next week around the same time. We'll talk resistance, mutual aid. What actually works when the empire comes home.Till then?Stay weird.Stay fierce.Stay alive.Key Timestamps for Chapter Markers:* 0:00 - Opening Thesis* 1:08 - What's Actually Happening* 2:23 - Why Autistics First* 3:19 - The Roll Call of History* 6:35 - The Gaslighting Ends Here* 7:50 - What We Do#AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, Felicia discusses the importance of guarding your heart based on Proverbs 4:23. She emphasizes that the heart is the center of our emotions, intentions, and faith, and that its condition directly influences our lives. Felicia shares insights on how to protect your heart from negativity, set boundaries, and cultivate inner peace through faith and God's word. She also reflects on her personal journey of learning to guard her heart and the transformative power of allowing God to be the gatekeeper of our emotions.TakeawaysGuard your heart for everything you do flows from it.The heart is the center of our emotion, intentions, and faith.What you allow will eventually come out.Guard your heart brings peace and power.Your heart is sacred; it's where God speaks.You can't control how people treat you, but you can control what you allow.Let God be the gatekeeper of your heart.Keep your heart pure, soft, and strong through prayer.Surround yourself with people who will pour into you.Your heart is worth protecting.

Losing a spouse can shake every part of life—but God promises to walk with you through each next step.When loss turns life upside down, even simple financial decisions can feel overwhelming. But with God's help—and a few practical steps forward—there is hope and healing ahead. Today, Valerie Hogan joins us to share guidance for navigating the financial journey after losing a spouse.Valerie Hogan is an attorney, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a member of Kingdom Advisors, and the co-author of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More with Miriam Neff. Grief and Finances Are Deeply ConnectedWhen grief hits, clarity often disappears. You may feel pressure to “get everything settled” or, on the other hand, find it impossible to make even small decisions. Both reactions are normal.Grief colors everything. It's difficult to separate financial choices from emotional pain. And that's okay. The key is to give yourself permission not to have all the answers right away.Statistics show that about 80% of women will outlive their husbands. That means most of us will one day find ourselves managing finances alone. And many women, especially from earlier generations, weren't as involved in financial decisions during marriage.After loss, that reality can be intimidating. Suddenly, you're faced with choices about investments, taxes, home maintenance, and budgets—often with less income and more years of life ahead. Those early months matter, but they shouldn't be rushed.Start with This Truth: God Owns It AllBefore any practical steps, I want to anchor you in a truth that has carried me and countless others through difficult seasons: God owns it all.Everything we have belongs to Him, and He is with us as we steward it. Remembering that doesn't erase the pain, but it reminds us we're not alone. It shifts the weight of control off our shoulders and invites God's wisdom into our decisions.That truth gives us permission to move slowly and prayerfully. Stewardship is not about perfection—it's about trust.Steps for Navigating the Early DaysHere are some guiding steps I often share with widows who ask, “Where do I even begin?”1. Take One Step at a TimeYou don't need to fix everything today. Unless a change is absolutely urgent, give yourself space to rest and recover. Grief has a way of making even simple tasks feel monumental. Be patient with yourself.2. Avoid Major Financial Moves Too SoonTry not to make significant financial decisions while emotions are raw. Some women have sold homes, moved away, or invested large sums during intense grief—only to regret it later. Wait until your heart is steadier before making big changes.3. Get Organized, Little by LittleLoss often leaves behind a mountain of paperwork. Start small—maybe one pile, one folder, one hour. Ask a trusted friend or advisor to help if it feels overwhelming. Progress comes one decision at a time.4. Track What's Coming In and Going OutAwareness brings peace. You don't have to overhaul your budget immediately—just begin noticing where money is going. Clarity grows with consistency.5. Lean on Trusted AdvisorsChoose people who will look out for your best interest—those with integrity and experience, not pressure or sales motives. A trusted financial planner, attorney, or advisor can help you think clearly when emotions run high.6. Anchor Everything in PrayerThis is the most important step. God cares deeply when His people are hurting. Invite Him into every conversation, every decision, every bill you open. He is your provider and your comforter.Build a “Personal Board of Directors”Form a personal board of directors—a small circle of wise people you can lean on for different kinds of counsel.You might include:A spiritually mature friend who prays with youA financial professional with integrityAn encourager who helps you stay hopefulA practical helper who can sit with you through paperworkEach one brings something valuable. Just remember: not every encourager is a financial guide, and not every advisor is a prayer partner. Surround yourself with a balanced mix of wisdom and compassion.Know It. Own It. Like It. Change It.In their book Wise Women Managing Money, Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan use a simple four-part framework that applies beautifully here:Know it—Gather the facts. What do you own? What do you owe?Own it—Accept responsibility for your new role as steward.Like it—Evaluate your current situation honestly.Change it—Begin making small, steady adjustments that align with your goals and faith.You don't need to have it all figured out. Start by knowing where you are—and trust that God will guide each next step.If you've recently lost your spouse, please hear this: there are brighter days ahead. It may not feel that way now, but God will give you strength and wisdom in time. I've seen hundreds of widows rebuild, heal, and even thrive again.Take one step at a time. Pray often. Surround yourself with wise, loving people. And remember—you're not alone.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:A friend once told me they only tip 10% at restaurants, so they don't end up giving a server more than they give to God. Now that's stuck with me—every time I eat out, I think about it. Am I looking at this the wrong way? What's the right, biblical way to think about tipping and giving?I recently set up a trust, and I own two homes—one's paid off and the other still has a mortgage. Both properties are titled in my name. Do I need to transfer or re-deed those homes into the trust, or can I leave them as they are since they're already in my name?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D. Widow ConnectionWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Let's get real—most women are starving for real connection in a world obsessed with performance. We scroll through “friends,” “followers,” and “likes,” yet rarely find the kind of soul-level relationships that build our faith instead of drain it. The Bible paints a better picture—one where women lift each other up, pray each other through, and call each other higher.Friendship and mentorship aren't optional in the Kingdom—they're God's design.Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” Translation? The right relationships will refine you, not just reassure you. You don't grow stronger surrounded by people who only tell you what you want to hear. You grow surrounded by people who love you enough to tell you the truth, pray when you're struggling, and celebrate when you rise.True sisterhood doesn't gossip—it guards. It doesn't compete—it completes. A godly friend will stand with you in battle and stand for you in prayer. And mentorship? That's just discipleship with a face and a name. Titus 2 gives us a clear call: older women should train the younger to walk in godliness. That's not just a church policy—it's a generational mandate.The world says, “You do you.”Heaven says, “We do this together.”Some of you listening have been burned by betrayal. You've opened your heart and watched it be mishandled. Hear me—God can redeem that. Don't let wounds make you a lone warrior. The enemy wants isolated believers because isolated believers are easy to pick off. A woman who's covered in community is a fortress.Mentorship is not about superiority—it's about stewardship. What God has taught you was never meant to stop with you. The scars you've survived can be the map another woman needs to find healing. You don't need a stage—just a coffee table, an open Bible, and a willing heart.And to the younger women listening—don't confuse independence with maturity. You need voices who've gone before you. Lean in. Ask questions. Let their victories shorten your learning curve.

Pastor Jim unpacks Proverbs 13:20 and Psalm 1 to show how the company we keep directly shapes who we become. Jim explains that walking with the wise leads to wisdom, while surrounding ourselves with foolishness leads to harm. He challenges listeners to consider the voices forming their decisions, asking whether they are rooted in the gospel or in the passing wisdom of the world. True wisdom, Jim teaches, is found in walking closely with people who love the gospel and love us enough to speak truth, receive our confession, and anchor us in God's grace. This message calls us to take stock of our relationships and intentionally walk with those who help us become more like Jesus, not just for our own good but for God's glory and mission in the world.Note: This message contains a brief mention of suicide.

What if mentoring wasn't just one person investing in a kid—but an entire circle of caring adults surrounding them with encouragement, accountability, and faith? That's exactly what Ben Bevis, Executive Director of Encircled, is doing. In this episode, host Zach Garza talks with Ben about how “mentor circles” are transforming the way we support young people from hard places.On this episode, we will chat about:The Vision Behind Encircled: Ben shares how thirty years of youth ministry, therapy, and family coaching led him to launch Encircled—a nonprofit helping parents, mentors, and communities form intentional “circles” around youth.The Power of Many Mentors: Research shows that youth with multiple trusted adults are more resilient, more likely to thrive, and less likely to fall through the cracks. Ben explains why one mentor is good—but five can be life-changing.How the Encircled App Works: Using free resources and a simple app, mentors (or “guides”) help kids discover their God-given identity, gifts, and vision, then invite key people into a mentoring circle that walks with them for the long haul.Stories that Inspire: From the heartbreaking loss of a former mentee to the redemption story of “Bill,” whose circle helped him rediscover his love for music and faith, Ben illustrates the beauty and impact of shared mentorship.“This next generation wasn't meant to do life on their own, but in community.” — Ben BevisMentors don't have to do it alone. Surround yourself—and your mentee—with others who will show up, pray, encourage, and share the load.Learn more about Ben Bevis and Encircled at encircled.org.--If this podcast has encouraged or equipped you, would you take 30 seconds to leave a 5-star rating?

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! As the twins start childcare and TheK9PT completed its 8th anniversary, I've been reflecting on how the days are long, but the years are short—both in parenthood and business. Eight years have passed since I left my job to start TheK9PT, and while some days felt endless and overwhelming, looking back it's incredible to see how much growth and transformation came from those moments. In this episode, I share lessons learned from both parenthood and entrepreneurship about slowing down, building resiliency, asking for help, and letting go of ego—so you can build a business that supports your life, not consumes it. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

Do you feel like an imposter? Struggling with imposter syndrome is more common than you might realize. Erin Harrigan—biblical business coach, author, and podcast host—tackles the struggles so many high-achieving women face with imposter syndrome. If you've ever felt unqualified or questioned if you're truly in the right place, this conversation is here to remind you that you're not alone. Erin shares her personal revelation rooted in scripture, exposing how even our doubts and past mistakes can become the foundation for impact in God's kingdom. Together, Tina and Erin unpack why these feelings are so common, how to tell the difference between godly calling and selfish ambition, and what practical steps you can take to walk confidently in your purpose. Whether you're battling burnout, striving for achievement, or simply seeking clarity in your calling, this episode will help you move past shame and align your life with God's direction. Tune in for actionable advice, spiritual insight, and an invitation to embrace the truth: you are no imposter. Here's what you'll discover in this week's episode: 1. Recognize the Real Root of Imposter Syndrome Erin shares how feelings of inadequacy can creep in, especially when God calls us to new levels. We might think we're the only ones battling these doubts, but this struggle is far more common than we realize. 2. Embrace God's Assignment for You Through scripture—specifically John 7—Erin shows how even Jesus was questioned about his authority, yet He affirmed that His teaching came from God. When you walk in your calling, you are not an imposter, no matter how ill-equipped you may feel. 3. Step Away from Selfish Ambition It's easy to get caught up in the "I" of ambition, but Erin encourages us to check our motives. Are we striving for our own gain, or simply trusting God's plan and timing for our lives? 4. Take Actionable Steps to Overcome Doubt Erin offers practical tips: Evaluate how you spend your time and make room for God. Surround yourself with people who encourage your faith and hold you accountable. Be bold in taking the next step God has given you, even if it feels uncomfortable. 5. Move from Overwhelmed to Empowered If you're burned out or overwhelmed, Erin's "Four Keys to Redefine Hustle"—Define, Direct, Discipline, and Develop—will help you lean on God's guidance rather than self-reliance.

In this special SaaS Fuel episode, host Jeff Mains welcomes James Piacentino, co-founder and CEO of Thrive Genetics—a company at the intersection of healthcare, genetics, technology, and compassionate mission. James shares his deeply personal connection to the opioid crisis, describing the family loss that shaped his life's purpose and eventually sparked the founding of Thrive Genetics.The conversation explores how advances in genetic testing, behavioral analysis, and AI are enabling physicians to proactively identify and mitigate addiction risk—before opioids are prescribed. Along the way, they discuss building solutions in complex, regulated markets, the importance of pilots and product-market fit, and why mission-driven leadership can turn innovation into real-world impact.Key Takeaways00:00 "Building Leaders and Scaling Success"06:25 Generational Trauma: Beyond Genetics07:24 Breaking Cycles Through Innovation11:53 High Pain Procedures and Opioids15:30 "Genetic Testing for Addiction Risk"20:09 Market Applications and Opportunities22:48 Integrated Healthcare Ecosystem Insights25:43 "Customer-Centered Product Development Insights"29:36 "Vision and Path to Scale"33:52 Streamlining Customer Service Efficiency37:27 "Focus on Solutions, Not Problems"40:01 Simplifying Healthcare Innovation43:18 "Collaborate for Impactful Leadership"47:18 AI Monitors Patient Pain Signals49:50 "Simple Design, De-Identified Data"52:16 "Embracing Rejection as Growth"55:36 "Fractional Legal & Personality Insights"Tweetable QuotesViral Topic: Building Products That Truly Fit Customer Needs: "It's very important to sit with your customer and just literally build the product to ensure that you are satisfying those specific business needs." — James PiacentinoViral Topic: Simplicity in Healthcare Innovation: "Complicated's fun and tech, maybe, but when you get into these healthcare scenarios, it's gotta be really, really lean, simple." — James Piacentino Viral Topic: Keep It Simple in Complex Systems: "We're just giving you some Information to use.

This episode is powered by The Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz , your first step in uncovering how to leverage your divine wiring to lead with alignment as you stop sabotaging your next level of success. Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This week we are rewinding one of our favorite Move to Millions Minutes of the year.  This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I am stepping into my bigness, boldly embracing the vast opportunities that are unfolding for me. I no longer play small, but fully claim my space in the world. Fear is a signal that I am on the edge of my next breakthrough, and I welcome it as a catalyst for growth. I am ready to rise, take risks, and lead with confidence. God and His abundant universe are aligning everything I need to support my bigger vision, and I trust that my abundance is already within me." Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Claim Your Space: Identify one area in your life or business where you've been playing small. Whether it's a conversation you've avoided or a decision you've been delaying, commit to taking up space there by stepping into your greatness. Don't apologize for your bigness; it's time to own it. Elevate Your Vision: Stretch your goals beyond what feels comfortable. If your current goals don't scare you or make you feel a bit nervous, they're likely too small. Set goals that push you to grow, and trust that the universe will help you achieve them when you step into your bigger vision. Take Bold Action: Don't wait for perfection. Take one bold action today toward your bigger vision, whether it's pitching a client, launching a new offer, or making a tough decision. Fear indicates that you're stepping out of your comfort zone and onto the path of growth. Affirm with me: "I am stepping into my bigness, boldly embracing the vast opportunities that are unfolding for me. I no longer play small, but fully claim my space in the world. Fear is a signal that I am on the edge of my next breakthrough, and I welcome it as a catalyst for growth. I am ready to rise, take risks, and lead with confidence. God and His abundant universe are aligning everything I need to support my bigger vision, and I trust that my abundance is already within me." And this week's journal prompts are: "One area where I've been playing small and need to claim my space is..." "To elevate my vision for 2025, I need to stretch my goals by..." "A bold action I can take right now to step into my bigness is..." And your prayer of the week: Prayer for Boldness and Abundance: Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude for the incredible individuals listening to this episode. I ask that You guide them as they step into their bigness, shedding any fear or limiting beliefs that have held them back. Lord, give them the courage to take up space unapologetically, to embrace their divine calling, and to trust that the abundance they seek is already on its way. I pray that You align their hearts with their bigger vision and that they feel Your presence in every step they take toward their dreams. May they be bold in their actions, confident in their worth, and unwavering in their faith. Help them to remember that abundance is their birthright, and that as they move forward, they are never alone. Lord, expand their capacity to receive and hold the greatness that is meant for them. Let them feel Your guidance and strength as they boldly pursue their calling. Surround them with opportunities, people, and resources to support their journey. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we break down one of the most underrated success factors—your environment. Paul shares how his mindset shifted the moment he left the negativity of his 100-hour-week law enforcement circle and began surrounding himself with entrepreneurs. The people around you either pull you backward or push you forward—and success requires protecting your environment like your future depends on it.

Have you ever been asked to do something that scared you, but you knew saying yes could change everything? Fear can hold you back from growing, but real progress starts when you take the leap, especially when you don't feel ready. In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo shares a personal story about the invitation that scared him to his core being asked to emcee one of the biggest real estate mastermind events in the country. What started as a moment of hesitation turned into a powerful lesson about courage, preparation, and trusting yourself even when your inner critic says you can't. Alex reveals how this experience reshaped his mindset about fear, confidence, action and how the same lesson applies to investing in self storage. You'll Learn How To: Recognize when fear is a sign of growth, not danger Take action even when you don't feel fully prepared Silence your inner critic and trust your abilities Use preparation to build confidence and momentum Surround yourself with mentors and peers who lift you up Apply courage-based decision making to self-storage investing Turn uncomfortable opportunities into defining breakthroughs What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00) How jumping before you feel ready unlocks growth (01:00) Why growth begins with discomfort (03:00) Why growth lives on the other side of discomfort (04:00) How preparation builds confidence (09:00) Why you grow because you go (11:00) What courage really means (13:00) Why breakthroughs come disguised as scary invitations (14:00) How surrounding yourself with the right people helps you grow (15:00) Why believing in yourself or borrowing belief matters (16:00) How taking your first step turns ideas into freedom Who This Episode Is For: Investors who feel stuck because they're waiting to “feel ready” Anyone afraid of making mistakes or looking foolish Entrepreneurs who struggle with self-doubt or perfectionism Action takers who want to push past fear and level up Storage investors ready to take their first or next big leap Why You Should Listen: Every major breakthrough in business and life starts with a scary invitation. This episode is a raw, honest reminder that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's moving forward despite it. If you've been holding back from calling that broker, making that offer, or buying your first storage facility because you don't feel ready, this is your wake-up call. The growth, confidence, and freedom you're chasing are waiting on the other side of discomfort.

Megan chats with Julie Gaeta about turning hardship into strength through intentional habits, grounded mindset work, and resilience that fuels both life and business. She runs Becoming You with Julie, where she shares plant-based recipes, wellness tips, and mindset strategies to help people feel good. After going through a divorce after 22 years, she rebuilt her life and business from the ground up, which taught her how critical mindset is for success. She's a holistic health coach, mom of nine, and working on growing her brand into a sustainable business. When Julie's 22-year marriage ended, she started over with nine kids and a dream. What followed was a journey of deep mindset work, structure, and purpose that transformed her life and blog. Julie shares simple practices for protecting energy, creating momentum, and moving forward, no matter what's fallen apart. Key points discussed include: Reset your life with clarity: Reflect on what you truly want—and what no longer serves you. Habits ground the chaos: Morning and evening routines keep you centered when life feels unpredictable. Resilience is built, not found: Set small challenges that prove you can do hard things. Energy is your currency: Protect it by setting boundaries and avoiding comparison traps. The 80/20 mindset: Focus on the few things that move your goals forward and let the rest fall away. Systems equal peace: Block scheduling and frameworks bring calm to both home and business. Lean into accountability: Surround yourself with people who help you stay consistent. Keep growing: Hard seasons can be the start of your strongest self. Connect with Julie Gaeta Website | Instagram  

What if the limits you see in your life are simply habits you learned that you can unlearn?
