In this episode of The Runna Podcast, we're joined by Dominique Scott, a two-time Olympian, five-time NCAA champion, and one of South Africa's fastest-ever distance runners.From her early running days in South Africa to competing on the world stage, Dominique shares insights into her journey through collegiate dominance, professional racing, and Olympic competition.We unpack:

On today's episode, we welcome Michael G. Kehoe, a filmmaker who turned a whisper of an idea into the resounding voice of a feature film. From Brooklyn to Hollywood, from an eight-year-old boy watching his mother direct community theater to a director commanding his own set, Michael's journey is one of persistence, heartbreak, and sheer creative will.In this profound conversation, Michael G. Kehoe shares the winding road of his career, one marked by passion and loss. A pact among friends, the bright lights of New York, and the uncertainty of Los Angeles formed the backdrop to his early years. But it was a personal tragedy—the untimely passing of two close friends—that set the stage for his first short film, Second Dance. With no roadmap but a fierce determination, he crafted a story that not only resonated but landed him in the heart of Sundance, proving that even the smallest project can open the biggest doors.The journey didn't stop there.Years later, inspired by his twin boys' innocent bedtime fears, he penned a horror story that would eventually become The Hatred. Rather than waiting for a green light from the industry, he carved his own path. He created Hush, a short film that distilled the very essence of fear—the anticipation of the unknown. The reaction was immediate. Audiences jumped, festivals awarded, and industry heavyweights, including the producers behind Halloween, took notice. The lesson? The industry rewards those who show, not just tell.But success in Hollywood is rarely a straight road. Shooting The Hatred on a tight budget and an even tighter schedule meant adapting, improvising, and making every shot count. “Poverty breeds creativity,” Michael says, a testament to the resilience needed in independent filmmaking. Working with a largely female cast, he crafted a horror film that stood apart from the blood-soaked clichés, focusing instead on atmosphere, character, and tension. The result? A film that paid homage to the horror classics of the past while carving its own identity in the present.Of course, filmmaking is a collaborative art. Michael speaks of the relationships that make the journey worthwhile—the actors who return to work with him time and again, the cinematographers who bring his visions to life, and the producers who take a chance on passion over pedigree. “Surround yourself with people smarter than you,” he advises. A lesson as true for life as it is for film.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Welcome back Jeremy Page, renowned trade attorney and partner at Page Fura Law Firm, a leading expert in international trade compliance. With decades of experience navigating the complex world of global trade regulations, Jeremy brings unparalleled insights into tariff strategies, customs enforcement, and supply chain challenges. In this must-watch episode, Jeremy dissects the latest trade remedies, from Section 301 tariffs to reciprocal trade policies, revealing how these regulations impact businesses and consumers alike. Whether you're an import-export professional, small business owner, or simply curious about how global trade affects everyday prices, Jeremy breaks down complex trade policies into digestible, actionable insights. "These companies were barely absorbing 25% tariffs. They operate on very small margins. Steel, aluminum at 50% - I mean, they were barely absorbent if that ... they don't have market leverage, and they don't have the built-in capital to either absorb these costs or bring production back here. There should be a floor below which these tariffs don't apply for certain types of companies, because smaller companies are always the growth industry." - Jeremy Page The current complex and rapidly changing trade environment, businesses must: Involve trade compliance experts early in strategic planning Build a multi-functional, educated team that understands trade complexities Be cautious of quick "creative" solutions that might lead to compliance risks Stay informed about nuanced regulatory changes Recognize that compliance is no longer just a cost center, but a strategic business function Contact Jeremy: website - https://pagefura.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-page-40b4aa6/  In the midst of all this chaos, education is your best ally.

 Denmark is under the 3 top happiest countries since many years… I think we can learn from them, the hygge lifestyle!1.) The concept of hygge is taking action that serves you instead to look for solutions on the internet. Take your downtime seriously and look for relaxation. Choose, instead to distract yourself from yourself.2.) Look for the minimum on furniture and things in your home … that will relax you. And choose Wood because it feels so well and looks cozy… Look at my home everything is out of wood…3.) Get rid of this terrible blue-white light… and look for a light with 2700-3000 Kelvin and also get some red lights… That relax your mind and your eyes. For sure, candlelight is the best… but here in Thailand we like it cool. Sit close to the window with the sunlight coming in … 4.)  Surround yourself with nature… If you live in the city get as much as possible plants for your apartment… That feels good and is good! And it will never harm you even when you sleep.5.) Enjoy hot cacao or cocoa with water and honey… Yes, it is very healthy and feels so good.  6.) Cardamom is a good smelling herb that you can put everywhere… it tastes good and is healthy.7.) Enjoy your time at home and choose the most comfortable cloth… regardless of how that looks… You should feel happy in that cloth…8.) Buy the clothing that feels good on your skin instead to buy designer cloth to look good. Because we want to feel good… 9.) Treat yourself with respect…Serve yourself a good meal on a nice plate and with all kind of decoration… Because you are your best guest. Eat slowly and enjoy.10.) Take cuddling seriously… Cuddle with your partner, kids or pets… Or give yourself a healing… Maybe I am a Danish … Only I don't take Cardamom all the other points are my lifestyle for 35 years… Who wonders? I lived in Bremen and Bremen is close to Denmark… And Bremen is one of the happiest city in Germany. Convinced? My Video: How to enjoy the Danish lifestyle? https://youtu.be/znYQAyavlzwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/How-to-enjoy-the-Danish-lifestyle.mp3

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  This episodes is about distractions.  I have had a few myself resulting in a delay in airing this episode.  I am in the process of adding video to the podcast on a bimonthly basis.   It has resulted in a few more hurdles.  So apologies for the delay.  We make thousands of decisions each day from food choices to navigation.  These choices are made in the face of many distractions.  Just like stress, distractions never go away, we just have the opportunity to react differently.   Distractions occur both externally and internally.  An example might be someone trying to get you off your nutrition plan by temping you with a tasty desert.  Some may also call that guilting.  Internal distractions fuel the fire with the stories we tell ourselves to justify behaviors not inline with our goals.  That internal dialog can be quite convincing.  Have you ever been called a perfectionist?  Have you ever felt you had something down to a perfection?  Both often result in frustration and disappointment.  There is always another level to achieve.  The aim is to enjoy or savor the process.   I challenge you to raise the bar.  Surround yourself with people that challenge you and savor the journey towards your health goals.   If you would like to reverse lifestyle disease, get of medications, or become the healthiest version of you, check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com.  Look for the video launch in the next few weeks on youtube and Spotify.    Dietitian consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength consults: nathan@doctordulaney.com Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code: cleanwaterforsophe Thanks for listening!

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.The InvitatoryLord, open our lips.And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: Come let us adore him.Come, let us sing to the Lord; * let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods.In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * and the heights of the hills are his also.The sea is his, for he made it, * and his hands have molded the dry land.Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker.For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: Come let us adore him.The PsalterPsalm 56Miserere mei, Deus1Have mercy on me, O God,for my enemies are hounding me; *all day long they assault and oppress me.2They hound me all the day long; *truly there are many who fight against me, O Most High.3Whenever I am afraid, *I will put my trust in you.4In God, whose word I praise,in God I trust and will not be afraid, *for what can flesh do to me?5All day long they damage my cause; *their only thought is to do me evil.6They band together; they lie in wait; *they spy upon my footsteps;because they seek my life.7Shall they escape despite their wickedness? *O God, in your anger, cast down the peoples.8You have noted my lamentation;put my tears into your bottle; *are they not recorded in your book?9Whenever I call upon you, my enemies will be put to flight; *this I know, for God is on my side.10In God the Lord, whose word I praise,in God I trust and will not be afraid, *for what can mortals do to me?11I am bound by the vow I made to you, O God; *I will present to you thank-offerings;12For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, *that I may walk before God in the light of the living.Psalm 57Miserere mei, Deus1Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful,for I have taken refuge in you; *in the shadow of your wings will I take refugeuntil this time of trouble has gone by.2I will call upon the Most High God, *the God who maintains my cause.3He will send from heaven and save me;he will confound those who trample upon me; *God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.4I lie in the midst of lions that devour the people; *their teeth are spears and arrows,their tongue a sharp sword.5They have laid a net for my feet,and I am bowed low; *they have dug a pit before me,but have fallen into it themselves.6Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *and your glory over all the earth.7My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *I will sing and make melody.8Wake up, my spirit;awake, lute and harp; *I myself will waken the dawn.9I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; *I will sing praise to you among the nations.10For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.11Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *and your glory over all the earth.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.LessonsDeuteronomy 30:1-1030 “And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2 and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. 8 And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and keep all his commandments that I command you today. 9 The Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, 10 when you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.2 Corinthians 1010 I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!— 2 I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.7 Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. 8 For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed. 9 I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters. 10 For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.” 11 Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. 12 Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.13 But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you. 14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you. For we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. 15 We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged, 16 so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's area of influence. 17 “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God.Luke 18:31-4331 And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. 32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. 33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.” 34 But they understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.35 As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” 42 And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God.Benedictus (The Song of Zechariah)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.The Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Amen.A Prayer of St. John ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God!Alleluia, Alleluia!BenedictionThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore.

As triathletes, our mindset is just as crucial as our physical strength. In Jon Gordon's The Energy Bus, he shares 10 rules for driving your energy toward success. Let's apply those rules to your triathlon journey, turning obstacles into opportunities and maintaining the energy needed to reach your goals. 1. You're the Driver of Your Bus. You are in control of your journey. In triathlon, you choose how to show up each day—whether it's a tough workout, a challenging race, or life's distractions. Be the driver of your bus, not a passenger. Take charge of your mindset, your goals, and your daily actions. 2. Desire, Vision, and Focus Move Your Bus in the Right Direction. Set your sights on the finish line and keep your vision clear. Whether it's crossing the Ironman finish line or shaving time off your race, focusing on your desire will keep you motivated, even on the hard days. Vision will give your training purpose and drive. 3. Fuel Your Ride with Positive Energy. Just as a bus needs fuel to run, you need positive energy to keep going. Negative thoughts and self-doubt can derail you, but fueling your mind with positive affirmations, supportive teammates, and empowering self-talk will keep your wheels turning. 4. Invite People on Your Bus and Share Your Vision. You don't have to go on this journey alone. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your goals. Whether it's your coach, training partners, or family, the energy of a supportive community can help you keep going when the road gets tough. 5. Don't Waste Your Energy on Those Who Don't Support You. You're going to encounter naysayers. Whether it's people questioning your goals or giving you negative feedback, don't waste time or energy on them. Stay focused on those who cheer you on and bring positivity to your life. Protect your energy—your race depends on it. 6. Think About What You Want, Not What You Don't Want. In triathlon, it's easy to focus on the challenges—fear of failure, bad weather, or tough competition. Instead, focus on your goals and what you want to achieve. Visualize success, and let that vision propel you forward with energy and determination. 7. Drive with Purpose. Every training session, every race, every recovery day should have purpose behind it. Whether you're hitting the pool or doing a long run, align your effort with your bigger goal. When you have purpose, every action counts, and the journey becomes meaningful. 8. Passion is Contagious. Let your passion for triathlon inspire others. Passion is magnetic—it fuels your drive and motivates those around you. When you bring energy and enthusiasm to your training, your teammates and training partners will rise to the occasion as well. 9. Love Your Passengers. Your teammates, coaches, and support crew are key to your journey. Appreciate their support and invest in these relationships. Whether it's a word of encouragement from a fellow athlete or advice from your coach, they help carry the load and make the ride more enjoyable. 10. Drive Your Bus to the End with Gratitude. Be grateful for each mile, each step of progress, and each race you complete. Gratitude will help you stay grounded and focused, and it will help you celebrate your victories—big and small. Every part of the journey is worth appreciating. Action item: This week, focus on driving your energy bus with purpose. Identify one area of your training or life where you can apply one of the 10 rules to create a positive impact. Share your energy with your training partners and keep your vision clear. Get behind the wheel of your success, and drive with confidence!   TriDot Workout of the Week: Race Week Builds Race Week Builds Bike Session Note For each effort, build from a moderate pace to threshold pace and hold for final 2' of each effort. Be sure to get full recovery between intervals. Don't overdo this session. Just priming for race day. Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 2 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 3 to 5 x 4 min @ Build to Z4 (4 min) Race Week Run Session Note Goal is to dial into race pace. Run comfortably and loose. Aim to hold race pace for the last 30 to 60 seconds of each effort. Don't go too hard. You're not going to gain much fitness in this single session, but you can certainly mess a lot up. Be conservative on this one. Warmup ~5-10 min of dynamic stretching and muscle activation Main Set 2 x 3 min @ Build to Race Pace (2 min jog) Balance of time @ Z2   Fun Segment: Race Week Roulette! Welcome to Race Week Roulette—the game where we test your triathlon instincts and race-day adaptability with all the curveballs race week can throw your way. Lost gear, mystery cramps, and weird dreams about forgetting your timing chip—nothing's off-limits. So buckle up and get ready to spin the wheel of race-week mayhem!

227: Pt. 2 Reset Your Marketing Mindset | Dr. Dave JonesInThis part two Dr. Dave, the hockey-player-turned-high-performance-coach, shares his proven strategy to rock your marketing…and your business & life.Be sure to catch his story in part one if you missed it.We dove into everything from mindsets to marketing to miracles, and I came out with my hair blown back (in the best way). Dr. Dave dropped his powerful R7 Framework, a game-changing process for success. Vision, strategy, branding—it's all there.Our convo was rich, real, and ridiculously practical. Whether you're launching a business, a ministry, or just trying to make sense of your next move—grab a pen, and let's go!BIO RECAP:Dave is a sports consultant who coaches CEOs, executives, professional athletes to help achieve their vision, by executing and developing mental skills training, and enhancing thought blocking techniques.He works with organization leaders on their strategy, execution and communication, and managing the gaps between employees and management.As a thought leader and highly motivated individualDave engages executive teams by consulting on analytics, oversight of talent initiatives, and one-on-one coaching. He helps leaders improve the effectiveness of their organizations, by utilizing practices such as strategic planning, mental skills training, organizational assessment, and team interventions.HIGHLIGHTS:1.Growth mindset = God's setup for breakthroughDr. Dave breaks it down: if you're not open to learning and growing, you're basically blocking the upgrade God wants to give you. A growth mindset says, “There's more!” A fixed mindset says, “I've arrived.” Spoiler alert: God loves working with people who still think there's more to discover.2. Reset your people, reset your pathThis one hits deep—if you don't like where you're headed, it might be time to check your circle. You're the average of your top three friends. Want to level up? Surround yourself with folks who are spiritually and financially rich, who think bigger and dream Kingdom-sized dreams.3. R7 is the roadmap for real resultsDr. Dave's “R7” framework isn't just a snappy name—it's a powerhouse process that includes steps like Reset, Destiny, Vision, Strategy, Brand, Communication, Prayer, and Action. It's doing the work of digging that ends up with a rock-solid foundation for your life and business.4. Biblical principles are baked into the blueprintProverbs 15:10, “In the multitude of counsel there is wisdom,” isn't just good advice—it's part of the strategy. Dr. Dave works with Christian leaders and makes sure God's Word is woven into the work. Pride is out, humility and wise counsel are in.5. Don't Skip the Strategy—Creative Alone Won't Cut ItJumping straight into branding and creative assets without first locking in your vision and strategy is like lighting a match in a windstorm. It flares up fast... and burns out just as quick. Want long-term impact? Slow burn with a solid strategy.6. Want to Cut Through the Noise? Use Hero vs. VillainWe're swimming in 17,000+ impressions a day (yikes), and our attention span is toast. To break through, create a clear narrative. People connect emotionally when there's a hero and a villain. Bonus tip: the hero doesn't need to be perfect, but the villain better be memorable.7. Your Brand Isn't What You Say—It's What They FeelYour brand isn't just your logo or color palette. It's every touchpoint—email, website, tone of voice—all rolled into one emotional experience. People either feel a connection... or they don't. The goal? Be intentional, or your brand will still say something, just maybe not what you want.8. Make Them the Hero—You're the GuideMajor mindset shift: You are not the hero of your brand story. Your audience is. Whether it's a customer, donor, or guest—they need to feel like the center of the journey. Your job? Be their guide. Think Yoda, not Luke. Be the Obi-Wan of your niche.9. Pray, Think, and Taste-Test Your VisionDon't just slap your mission, vision, and brand together and call it done. Like chili, it might look good in the pot, but does it taste right? Take a step back, pray over it, reflect, and ask, “Lord, is this really what You want me to cook up?” (Bonus: Ask yourself—should I start, stop, or continue?)10. God Might Pull the Plug—and That's OkayEven after investing time and money, sometimes God just says “Nope.” Dr. Dave reminds us: that's not failure—it's divine redirection. You're not alone if a seemingly great opportunity gets shut down. It happens to the best of us.11. Ask the Big 5-Year QuestionBefore jumping in, ask God: “Is this what I'm supposed to be doing for the next 5 years?” This isn't just a weekend project. If you're going to commit, make sure heaven's backing it.12. Don't Just Dream—Test It OutA/B testing isn't just for marketers. Send your ideas into the wild—get feedback, observe reactions, tweak and repeat. Whether it's formal surveys or just gauging real responses, testing brings clarity.13. Take Action (But Not First!)Action is step 7, not step 1. Don't jump the gun. Lay the foundation first, then move. Faith isn't passive—yes, you've got to move—but not without preparation. God can move a parked car, but He'd rather you turn the ignition.LINKS for DR.

We spoke with Ryan Bennett and Trang from Fluke and Fortive to understand how recent tariff changes are affecting their companies. They explained that the pace of these changes is extremely fast, creating a sense of crisis for their businesses. Because tariffs can be announced and implemented with little warning, companies are left scrambling to respond, often without clear guidance on what will happen next. This uncertainty makes it difficult to plan for the future, invest in new projects, or make decisions about supply chains and pricing. Learn what their found opportunities are. Connect with the experts Ryan Bennett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanmbennett/  Trang Pham: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trangdpham/    Main Points/Takeaways: 1. Rapid Pace of Change - The last four months have felt like years in the trade world - Unprecedented speed of tariff and trade policy changes - Constant need for real-time adaptation 2. Cross-Functional Communication - Daily leadership meetings are crucial - Breaking down silos between departments (sales, procurement, engineering, trade compliance) - Holistic approach to understanding trade impacts 3. Resilience and Opportunity - Don't just react, create durable long-term strategies - Use challenges as opportunities to improve business processes - Focus on sustainable supply chain improvements Key Insights/Quotes: "Don't let a crisis go to waste" - Ryan Bennett "The C-suite is probably the most interested in learning about trade nuances than ever before" - Trang Pham Critical Takeaway: Trade compliance is no longer just paperwork - it's a strategic business partner driving resilience and innovation during global economic uncertainties.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes What If You Could Live Like You're 16 Again? June 4, 2025 | Episode 5108  Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Do you have a song or memory that instantly transports you back to your youth? I experienced that magic moment while watching a YouTube video about David Cassidy and the iconic Partridge Family tour bus. That nostalgic rush got me thinking about what life would look like if we could recapture the mindset and freedom we had at 16 years old. When you were a teenager, you dreamed big, had real friends, and looked forward to the future with excitement. You weren't weighed down by debt, stress, or the daily grind that seems to impede living. What if you could bring that energy and perspective into your adult life today? Featured Story I was relaxing on my patio, scrolling through YouTube, when a video about the colorful Partridge Family tour bus caught my eye—seeing David Cassidy brought back vivid memories of cutting records off cereal boxes as a kid and waiting impatiently to hear them play. That instant time travel feeling reminded me how powerful it can be to reconnect with who we used to be before life got complicated. Important Points When you were 16, you educated yourself daily, had genuine friendships, and dreamed obsessively about your future without letting daily responsibilities crush your spirit. The job you do today would have felt like prison for your 16-year-old self, which should make you question whether you're truly living or just surviving. You don't need to throw everything away to recapture that youthful energy–you need to get back in rhythm with who you are underneath all the grown-up complications. Memorable Quotes “You don't have to be 16 again, but imagine how much fun you could have if you knew then what you know now, and you used every single bit of it today.” “Work sure gets in the way of life. You don't think much about that when you're a kid, but all you want to do is go to work.” “I still think like I'm 16 today, and I still feel like I'm yet to grow up.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Start dreaming again about your future and get excited about what's coming, no matter how many years you have ahead of you. Surround yourself with real friends who genuinely care about you, not just office acquaintances or social media connections you've never met. Busy yourself with actually living life instead of getting caught up in everything that distracts you from who you really are.

Drawing from their personal stories, they unpack the meaning behind the phrase “man of the house” and offer wisdom for moms navigating this delicate dynamic.You will hear about:The internal weight that boys often carry when they feel responsible for the family too earlyThe difference between responsibility and authority—and why it mattersWhy mentorship and male role models outside the home are essentialThe role of a mother in guiding her son's heart, not just his behaviorEncouragement that God is at work in shaping these young men for His gloryWhether your son is 8 or 18, this episode will give you tools and perspective to help him grow in responsibility without robbing him of childhood—and remind you that God truly is father to the fatherless.Affirm your son's heart: It is natural for boys to want to help.

In this solo episode, Yvonne talks about something that is very close to her heart – manifesting a baby. Yvonne shares her personal journey and struggles, which included several miscarriages. She explains how when she started using manifestation techniques things changed, she visualised giving birth to twin boys at Christmas and that is exactly what happened. Yvonne provides a combination of gentle guidance, practical tips and manifestation techniques that anyone who is struggling to conceive or carry a baby to term can use to navigate the emotional challenges they are facing. Enabling them to keep hope alive and finally have the child they so desperately want. KEY TAKEAWAYS Manifesting a baby takes belief, consistency and action. Trying to get pregnant is a naturally worrying time for a woman. It is very easy to lose hope. When you lose hope, your vibration drops, and it becomes easy for negative thoughts and feelings to overwhelm you and stop you from taking action. Surround yourself with signs, symbols and routines that reinforce and anchor your belief. If you are unable to visualise holding your baby, break things down into steps e.g. Try visualising yourself looking at a positive scan result. Take practical action e.g. Improve your diet. This benefits you on two levels – it improves your mindset and prepares you physically for a successful pregnancy. Don´t let the remarks of others shake your belief that you will have a baby. It may take a long time for you to have a baby. You need to prepare yourself to persevere. At times you will feel hopeless or exhausted, don´t give up – keep going. BEST MOMENTS “It was easy for me to get pregnant, but it wasn’t easy for me to stay pregnant.” “If the struggle (to get pregnant) is there or you continue to miscarry, you just start to lose hope.” “I manifested twins, the end, full stop period, and nobody, and I mean, nobody is going to tell me otherwise.” “After I had my miscarriages, I started to visualize that I was going to have twins, two boys at Christmas.” “You have to be willing to break your own heart because …the universe is going to throw you a s**t ton of challenges before it happens.”“I am going to be a parent, the end - that´s what I used to say to myself.”“You say - I trust the timing of my life.”“Buy yourself the card you would expect to receive, as if you have what you wanted.”“You can be the most amazing manifester in the world, but that doesn't mean that you're not going to be challenged in this life.” “None of us are going to get a free ride, but we have to be able to keep going and believe that it's going to happen for us.” EPISODE RESOURCES Previous episode about manifesting twins - https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-power-of-manifestation-how-i-attracted-twins-into/id1710512693?i=1000638498289 VALUABLE RESOURCES website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.

Daniel Harkavy is the Founder and CEO of Building Champions and SetPath. Building Champions is an executive coaching and leadership development firm focused on helping leaders achieve success in business and life. SetPath is a community benefit nonprofit that helps young adults discover their true potential through life planning and mentoring.What I learned from my conversation with Daniel:When they see you as husband or wife, do they see the Divininess of God? Treating your bride to be more radiant because she has felt the reality of Christ in you. Planning your life with the mindset of a steward based on your unique role will help you be less anxious. When hiring a coach, you need to find one who listens well, who has the gift of exhortation, who has a toolkit, self-leadership, and why your coach does not need to know your industry to serve you. Surround yourself with many smart people who bring ou the best in you and those around you. You need a thinking partner who is not biased in your organization. The more time in the coach's chair the more valuable you become to businesses and organizations because you begin to have a front seat into the nuances of various industries. The pursuit of becoming a man, a leader, a husband is the journey of becoming more like Christ. It is good to ask for help. It is good to acknowledge that you have fears and insecurities. --To start working with Lantz Howard as your professional coach, get started by taking the leadership health assessment at www.lantzhoward.com--Did this conversation impact you?Share the love.

Send us a textWhat does it really take to thrive in life's most challenging moments? Rand Stoess joins Anthony Amen to explore this question through lessons drawn from decades of entrepreneurship, mentorship, and personal growth.The conversation quickly dives into the critical difference between seeking external validation versus developing internal clarity. Rand emphasizes how our greatest strength comes from looking within first—understanding our values and boundaries—before seeking outside input. This self-awareness creates a foundation for resilience when life inevitably throws obstacles our way.One of the most powerful insights revolves around our sphere of influence. Rand shares his personal evolution from believing his success came from controlling everything to realizing he only truly controls four things: attitude, effort, behavior, and chosen actions. Everything beyond that is influence rather than control. As Anthony adds, this influence isn't neutral—it pushes people in either positive or negative directions, making our choices profoundly consequential.The discussion takes an especially practical turn when exploring how we become the average of the five people we spend most time with. Want to develop grit? Surround yourself with resilient people. Need more optimism? Spend time with positive thinkers. This principle extends beyond physical relationships to include the podcasts we listen to and content we consume—all shaping who we become.Rand reveals seven research-backed qualities that lead to life satisfaction: zest, grit, mental toughness, optimism, curiosity, social intelligence, and humor. Each quality creates a foundation for bouncing back from setbacks—like a rubber ball that temporarily deforms upon impact but always regains its shape. This resilience isn't just innate; it can be developed through mindset shifts, forgiveness practices, and viewing life as a series of experiments where not every attempt succeeds on the first try.Ready to transform how you respond to life's challenges?

We've all had those “seemed like a good idea at the time” moments. Hers involved a Voxer coaching program, and in the spirit of learning from those detours, we unpacked what happened, what she learned, and how there might still be life in that idea yet. Main Points: Great ideas don't always land the way you expect. Danielle created a Voxer-based coaching program for personal brand support between sessions. Despite promotions and enthusiasm from peers, it never gained traction with clients. Sometimes it's not the audience — it's the offer. Danielle realized her clients come to her for hands-on, real-time messaging work, not asynchronous voice messages. There was a disconnect between what she offered and what her brand promised. Experimentation is always valuable, even when it “fails.” Danielle isn't sad she tried it. Every experiment, whether it works or not, is a chance to learn, adjust, and discover what truly fits your business and community. Ideas can evolve. Lorraine suggested reframing the Voxer access not as a standalone product but as an add-on to existing branding packages — a “bonus touchpoint” for clients craving extra access and faster feedback. Never give up on a good idea too soon. Danielle's takeaway was that an idea that flops in one format might thrive in another. It's all about the packaging, pricing, and timing. Actionable Takeaways: If a new offer isn't resonating, ask yourself whether it aligns with how clients see you and your core strengths. Surround yourself with a trusted business circle — fresh eyes can spot opportunities and blind spots you'll miss. When something doesn't work, don't toss it immediately. Consider whether it belongs as part of something else, or if a tweak in messaging or positioning could turn it around. Remember: there's no such thing as a wasted experiment. Every trial leaves breadcrumbs for your next big win. 

Bronson Hill is a leading expert in passive income and wealth psychology, known for his ability to break down the habits and strategies of the ultra-wealthy. As the founder and CEO of Bronson Equity and host of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson has interviewed over 2,500 millionaires, uncovering the mindsets and investment tactics that separate everyday earners from those who achieve true financial freedom. A former medical sales professional, Bronson walked away from a high-paying career to pursue passive income, scaling his wealth 20X in just a few years. He's a general partner in 2,500 multifamily units worth over $250M and has personally raised over $45M for real estate and private equity deals. Bronson's unique perspective comes from both his humble beginnings and his relentless focus on mindset, making him a sought-after keynote speaker and author. On this episode we talk about: – The mindset shift that helped Bronson 20X his net worth – Lessons from interviewing over 2,500 millionaires – Why “wealth-worthiness” is the hidden key to financial success – How the ultra-wealthy invest differently (and why “alternative assets” aren't so alternative) – Actionable strategies to build confidence and take your first steps toward passive income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Mindset is everything: The right psychology and self-talk are foundational to building wealth. Most people stay broke because they never develop a sense of “wealth-worthiness”—the belief that they deserve and are capable of financial success. 2. Surround yourself with the right people: Who you spend time with determines your financial future. Learning from mentors and modeling the habits of successful investors can accelerate your growth. 3. Take action despite fear: Confidence isn't about being fearless—it's about acting in the face of fear. Start small, celebrate wins, and use setbacks as data for growth. Notable Quotes “Confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build. Small wins, big lessons, and relentless action—love this breakdown.” “Make yourself valuable to valuable people.” “Being wealthy is not about having money or not having money. It's the habits and the person you become.” Connect with Bronson Hill: BronsonEquity.com Instagram: @bronsondavidhill Mailbox Money Show: Available on all major podcast platforms

But over time, I learned to rescue myself.” – Tamara Mellon Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen Tamara Mellon's father lent her the seed money to start a high-end shoe company, he cautioned her: “Don't let the accountants run your business.” Little did he know that over the next fifteen years, the struggle between “financial” and “creative” would become one of the central themes as Mellon's business.Mellon grew Jimmy Choo into a billion dollar brand and her personal glamour made her an object of global media fascination. Vogue photographed her wedding. Vanity Fair covered her divorce and the criminal trial that followed. The Wall Street Journal reported on her relentless battle between “the suits” and “the creatives" and Mellon's triumph against a brutally hostile takeover attempt.But despite her eventual fame and fortune, Mellon didn't have an easy road to success. Her early life was marked by a tumultuous and broken family life, battles with anxiety and depression, and a stint in rehab. Determined not to end up unemployed, penniless, and living in her parents' basement under the control of her alcoholic mother, Mellon honed her natural business sense and invested in what she knew best—fashion.In creating the shoes that became a fixture on Sex and the City and red carpets around the world, Mellon relied on her own impeccable sense of what the customer wanted—because she was that customer. What she didn't know at the time was that success would come at a high price—after struggles with an obstinate business partner, a conniving first CEO, a turbulent marriage, and a mother who tried to steal her hard-earned wealth.Now Mellon shares the whole larger-than-life story, with shocking details that have never been presented before.

Become a certified personal trainer with Show Up Fitness CPT recognized globally. Ever wondered how a personal struggle with weight could transform into a thriving fitness career? Meet Shubh, who turned his experience as an overweight teenager into a powerful platform for helping others in India navigate their fitness journeys.Shubh's story begins at 16 when a Les Mills instructor saw potential in him and encouraged him to try teaching classes. What started as a way to improve his own fitness quickly evolved into a passion for helping others. Facing the reality that quality personal trainers were beyond his budget, Shubh took matters into his own hands by pursuing ACSM certification. "How difficult can this be?" he thought – a question that launched him into multiple certifications and eventually, a career training others.The conversation provides fascinating insights into India's unique fitness landscape, where "skinny fat" is more prevalent than obesity. Shubh explains how economic factors and cultural traditions impact protein consumption, creating distinct challenges for fitness professionals. Unlike Western markets where trainers often leave the industry quickly, Shubh notes that in India, personal training attracts people from other careers due to its earning potential – an interesting contrast that shapes the professional environment.What makes Shubh's approach special is his commitment to education and mentorship. "Don't focus on money for the first five years," he advises new trainers. "Surround yourself with the best mentors that you can." This philosophy of prioritizing learning over immediate returns mirrors the approach effective trainers take with clients – focusing on sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Mike Morawski is a 30-year real estate investing veteran, author, speaker, and founder of My Core Intentions. Over the course of his career, he's controlled more than $450 million in real estate, scaling a portfolio of 4,000 units and a property management company overseeing 7,500 doors. Mike's journey includes extraordinary growth, painful setbacks—including federal prison—and a powerful comeback centered around coaching, transparency, and helping others build wealth through multifamily investing.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Mike built a $100M real estate business but lost it all and spent time in federal prison due to nondisclosure and overextension during the 2008 crash. His biggest lessons: don't grow too fast, avoid over-leverage, never be undercapitalized, pay attention to detail, and surround yourself with the right people. He now focuses on ethical investing, transparency, and long-term strategy while helping others avoid similar mistakes. Mike uses creative deal structuring, including seller financing and assumptions, even on large multifamily assets. He believes the current market presents one of the best opportunities in a generation to build long-term wealth.     Topics From Building to Breaking to Rebuilding Built a $100M syndication portfolio between 2005–2008, including 4,000 units and 38 companies. The 2008 crash triggered liquidity issues, leading to improper fund transfers across companies without investor disclosure. Sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. There, he wrote two books, taught ethics and real estate, and earned a degree in theology. Today, he coaches investors and shares his story to help others avoid similar missteps. The Five Lessons He Now Teaches Everyone Don't grow too fast—scaling without structure leads to collapse. Don't over-leverage—he recommends staying under 65% LTV. Don't be undercapitalized—lack of reserves causes panic decisions. Pay attention to details—asset management is where deals live or die. Surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth—and listen to them. Creative Financing for Multifamily Deals Mike dispels the myth that creative structures are only for single-family. Shared a case study of a 450-unit deal acquired with a $12.5M loan assumption and $2.5M seller carryback—no new equity. These deals still exist if you listen to sellers and find their pain points. Market Cycles and Timing Believes we're at the bottom of the current cycle and entering a major wealth transfer phase. Urges investors to act now while cautioning against recklessness—stress-test underwriting and be conservative. Expects shorter, more volatile cycles in the future, making education and adaptability more important than ever. Resources for Passive Investors Created a free risk-tolerance quiz to help LPs understand their investor profile and make better decisions. Advocates for transparency and full disclosure between sponsors and passive partners—especially in turbulent markets.

Damien Lupo's journey into real estate began in his early twenties. He used a $10,000 credit card advance as his starting capital to begin acquiring properties.
