Perhaps the most painful consequence of the Fall lies in broken relationships with God, with each other, with ourselves, and with creation. One of the incredible benefits of the gospel is that Jesus has made reconciliation possible! In this episode, Cameron and Anna explore this here-and-now, concrete benefit of the gospel of reconciliation–a gift we can experience in our relationships even now.

Some Pacific Island Nations are facing a decline in tuna harvest, by 20 per cent on average, by 2050 - with experts warning climate-related fish migration could pose a looming threat to food security and economies across the region. In Solomon Islands, more than 90 per cent of inshore coastal areas fall under customary marine tenure - casting community-led solutions as vital to the sustainability of local fishing grounds. And this feature was produced with support from the Pulitzer Centre.

In this episode of All Talk Oncology, host Kenny Perkins (Your Cancer Guy) sits down with legendary R&B artist Montell Jordan for an honest and deeply personal conversation about his battle with prostate cancer. Known worldwide for the iconic hit “This Is How We Do It,” Montell opens up about life beyond music and shares what it was like receiving a cancer diagnosis after a routine annual physical. Initially diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer, Montell discusses the difficult decisions surrounding treatment, the emotional toll of recurrence, and how his unwavering faith helped him navigate one of the hardest battles of his life. Montell candidly speaks about the realities many men don't openly discuss—fear, masculinity, intimacy after treatment, mental resilience, and the impact cancer has on relationships and family dynamics. He also highlights the vital role caregivers play and how his wife helped sustain him through treatment and recovery. Most importantly, Montell emphasizes the life-saving importance of early detection and PSA screening, especially for African American men who are at higher risk for prostate cancer. This powerful episode is filled with encouragement, practical insight, and hope for patients, caregivers, survivors, and families navigating cancer. In this episode, Montell Jordan discusses the following: His life and career before cancer Receiving a prostate cancer diagnosis after a routine physical Why annual screenings and PSA testing matter Understanding Gleason scores and prostate cancer staging The treatment decision process: watch, treat, radiate, or remove Undergoing a radical prostatectomy Facing cancer recurrence and navigating proton therapy How faith shaped his mindset during treatment The emotional impact of cancer on spouses and caregivers Why empathy, not sympathy is critical during cancer care Intimacy and relationships after prostate cancer treatment Advocacy for men's health and prostate cancer awareness His documentary Sustain, chronicling his cancer journey The importance of early detection for saving lives Montell also reminds listeners that a cancer diagnosis does not have to define the rest of your story. With faith, medical care, family support, and early intervention, there is hope—and there is life after cancer. Immortalize your voice by being an ALL TALK ONCOLOGY GUEST! Just fill-out this FORM.

A Special Podcast Swap with Allyson's In the Field Podcast This week, April and Stephen Smith of 3 Pie Squared and the ABA Business Leaders Podcast joined Allyson's In the Field: The ABA Podcast for a special podcast swap episode. April and Stephen share the story behind building and operating their ABA practice for 12 years before transitioning into full-time consulting. The conversation explores the realities of starting an ABA business, scaling sustainably, building leadership teams, creating operational systems, and maintaining ethical profitability. The episode also discusses the challenges of delegation, founder identity, work-life boundaries, and why many BCBAs® are unprepared for the leadership demands of business ownership. Key Topics ✔ Starting an ABA practice without a business background ✔ Why founders need a clear vision before scaling ✔ Building systems that support delegation and growth ✔ The relationship between profitability and ethical practice ✔ Developing BCBAs into effective leaders Key Takeaways You don't know what you don't know when starting a business. Vision should guide growth, not follow it. Systems create consistency, scalability, and freedom. Profitability supports ethical clinical practice. Leadership skills must be intentionally developed. Founder identity should extend beyond the business itself.  Resources & Links Grab Stephen's Book Here!: "The ABA Business Leader's Guide: How to Start, Grow, and Sustain an Ethical ABA Practice Without Losing Your Soul" by April and Stephen Smith Free Consultation Booking Link  &  Business Essentials List Listen to Allyson's Podcast SideKick Learning ABA Business Leaders Support Group:

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character. Relationships matter.” “That success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens with care.” Overall Impact of the Interview This interview serves as a masterclass on creative longevity and wealth-building without celebrity dependency. Kurt Farquhar’s story reframes success as: Consistent excellence Relationship stewardship Business ownership Adaptability across generations It is especially powerful for: Creatives seeking sustainable careers Entrepreneurs building IP-based businesses Professionals navigating long-term relevance Anyone pursuing “quiet wealth” over public fame #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder how long Esmerlyn Valdez can continue hitting at the high rate that he is before the league adjusts to him.

CNBC reported that AeroVironment shares rose 19 percent after an earnings beat, with backlog reaching $1.2 billion. The company, which trades as AVAV, supplies small drones and loitering munitions to U.S. and allied customers. Backlog quality, funding status, and delivery phasing will determine how quickly orders convert to revenue and cash. Demand is supported by increased procurement of unmanned systems and sustainment needs. Supply chain lead times, export licensing, and cleared labor availability are key execution risks. Investors are tracking book to bill trends, margins by mix, and cash conversion to assess durability of growth.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Jeff Jones, performance coach, leadership expert, and author of The Intentional Edge, to explore what it takes to build lasting mental toughness, leadership, and high-performance habits.   Drawing on more than two decades of experience in collegiate athletics, Jeff shares lessons learned from working within elite football programs and championship cultures. He explains why success is less about motivation and more about the standards we consistently uphold, especially when pressure, adversity, and uncertainty arise.   Throughout the conversation, Jeff unpacks the powerful idea that when pressure hits, we don't rise to the occasion—we fall to our standards. He discusses why intentional daily actions create sustainable excellence, how elite performers respond to setbacks, and what separates those who grow through adversity from those who become stuck in it.   Jeff also introduces his signature 10-Rep Framework, a practical approach to building mental performance through small, consistent actions that compound over time. His insights challenge the common belief that high performance is reserved for a select few and instead demonstrate how anyone can develop the habits, mindset, and leadership skills needed to thrive. This episode is a powerful reminder that excellence isn't accidental. It's built intentionally, one rep at a time.   You'll Learn: Why standards matter more than motivation What elite performers and leaders consistently do differently How to respond effectively when pressure and adversity arise Why culture is the foundation of sustained high performance The mindset mistakes that often hold high achievers back Practical ways to strengthen mental toughness every day How the 10-Rep Framework can help you create lasting growth Why intentional actions create an enduring competitive advantage   Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Jeff Jones: https://coachjeffjones.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Download the National Confidence Research Study: https://confidencestudy.com/

Today, I want to talk about a moment that almost every nonprofit leader experiences. It usually happens after the paperwork has been filed after the nonprofit has been approved. Everything seems to be moving forward. And then one day, it hits you: "I have no idea how to sustain this." I have seen this moment countless times over the last 40 years in the nonprofit space. It's the moment when leaders realize that running programs and sustaining an organization are two very different things.

In this episode, Cameron and Anna discuss the riches of the doctrine of adoption. If parents can begin to grasp the reality that we are in fact God's adopted children, we can disciple our own children out of the perfect parenting of our heavenly Father, rather than the imperfect parenting of our earthly parents. Taking hold of the riches of our adoption- our status, our belonging, and our secure belovedness in God's family- all this is a true game-changer for parents who long to love their children well.  From Fear to Father: How Understanding Our Adoption Frees Parents from Anxiety by Melissa Powell Rooted In and Through Adoption by Liz Edrington 1 John 3:1 John 1:11-13 Romans 8:15-21 Follow us @therootedministry.

What if the biggest threat to the next generation of tech giants isn't regulation or competition, but simple arithmetic? In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo dives into one of the most consequential financial experiments in modern history: the potential public debuts of SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Together, they could unleash nearly $4 trillion in market value and ignite a feeding frenzy among investors. But beneath the excitement lies a more unsettling reality. Trillions of dollars in AI infrastructure spending, circular financing loops, concentrated bets on a handful of companies, and valuation metrics that evoke uncomfortable comparisons to both the dot-com bubble and 1929. Is Wall Street witnessing the birth of the next industrial revolution, or building the conditions for a spectacular correction? The answer could reshape portfolios and define the next decade of innovation.

The Calm, Confident, Consistent Leadership Loop: What the Research and Scripture Reveal for Christian Women in Leadership In the Dual Leadership Loop Model™, the second loop is the calm, confident, consistent leadership loop. The Dual Leadership Loop Model™ was developed specifically for Christian women in leadership — in executive roles, entrepreneurship, and as parents. Research confirms that calm, confidence, and consistency are not personality traits reserved for a few naturally gifted leaders. Three Pillars of the Calm, Confident, Consistent Leadership Loop Each pillar of the loop is distinct. Pillar One: Calm — Leading from a Regulated Nervous System What Calm Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Calm Parenting Leadership Looks Like Pillar Two: Confidence — Leading from Identity, Not Performance What Confident Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Confident Parenting Leadership Looks Like Pillar Three: Consistency — The Foundation of Trust What Consistent Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Consistent Parenting Leadership Looks Like The Neuroscience Behind the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Faith as the Foundation of the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Scripture Verses for The Calm, Confident, and Consistent Leadership Loop Isaiah 26:3 Philippians 4:13 Joshua 1:9 Romans 12:2 Proverbs 31:25 Psalm 23:1–3 Philippians 1:6 How Christian Women in Leadership Access and Sustain the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Entering this loop is not a one-time event. It is a daily practice of choosing regulation over reaction, truth over comparison, and trust over control. Here is how to build and sustain it. 1. Regulate Your Nervous System as a Daily Practice 2. Renew Your Mind Before the World Gets to It 3. Name and Interrupt the Anxiety Loop in Real Time 4. Build Boundaries that Protect Your Regulation 5. Anchor Identity in Christ Daily, Not Circumstantially 6. Lead Consistently in All Roles — at Work, at Home, and in Parenting What the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Looks Like Across All Areas of Life In Your Career and Business In Your Team and Organization In Your Marriage and Relationships Resentment decreases because you are no longer people-pleasing in silence. In Your Parenting Calm becomes their foundation. Consistency becomes their security. And confidence in who God made you to be becomes the model they carry into their own lives. A Word to Every Christian Woman in Leadership Reading This Your Next Step This week, identify one area where you experienced the calm, confident, consistent loop — even briefly. Reflection Questions Which of the three pillars — calm, confidence, or consistency — feels most available to you right now? Which one needs the most intentional development? Where in your leadership — at work, at home, or in parenting — would the greatest trust be built if you became more consistent? What would it look like for you to lead from the calm, confident, consistent loop for one full week — at work, at home, and with your children? Read the full show notes and access all links.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8.

A conversation with Andreas Endries, co-founder of the land-based project and former intentional community Alma Ohana.I invited Andreas because I've been attempting (and failing) to build community myself. I wanted to listen to his story; learn why Andreas' dream didn't materialize: what broke, why it broke, and what they'd do differently.Together we talk about Andreas' roots: how a boy who didn't fit in ended up dedicating their life to building belonging for others. We talk about Andreas experience of gender in their body, as someone who now identifies as two-spirit. We talk about the stuff of community life: the big vision, the core group that didn't hold, the famous building permits, the moment you realize you can't hold it alone anymore. We end with a question: What to do next, when you've poured your whole self into something, and it still didn't work?Enjoy :)About the showWiser Now is a podcast for those of us who feel called to live truer, wiser lives, as individuals and as a collective.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? — Isaiah 40:12 From this section of Isaiah 40 to its end, the prophet asks rhetorical questions that highlight God's amazing power, ability, and majesty over all things. In relation to creation, knowledge, nations, and rulers, nothing and no one compares with God.For example, who is able to measure the waters of the earth in just the hollow of his hand? Think of all the oceans, lakes, rivers, and other waters on this earth. To the Lord these are smaller than the hollow in the palm of his hand!Similarly, the span of the Lord's fingers can mark off the heavens. Scientists say that the universe is more than 93 billion light years in diameter. This means that if we flew at the speed of light, it would take us more than 93 billion years to go from one end of the universe to the other. And yet God can measure that mind-boggling distance with just the breadth of his hand.What's more, God can weigh the earth's mountains and hills on a scale and gather all of the earth's dust in a basket. With these astonishing descriptions, the prophet Isaiah makes abundantly clear that our God is incomparably great. He is the creator of the universe and the sustainer of his work of creation. There is no one like him. He alone is God. And this God is our Lord and Savior! Majestic Lord, you measure the oceans, the heavens, the mountains, and more as if they are small things. Fill us with awe at your greatness. Sustain our faith, we pray, and remind us that you are our Savior. Amen.

Guest Courtney Miller Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, Richard welcomes back Courtney Miller to unpack her PhD research on one of open source's most overlooked problems: what happens when widely used software is abandoned. Courtney explains why abandonment is not always simple, or even always bad, but can create real risks for the developers and projects that depend on it. From npm package research and downstream impact to Abandabot, AI-assisted tooling, maintainer burnout, and responsible sunsetting, this conversation explores how the open source ecosystem can better understand, detect, and respond when the software we rely on stops being maintained. Press download now! [00:01:28] Courtney explains the focus of her dissertation. [00:02:34] Courtney defines abandonment. [00:03:44] Her ecosystem-wide analysis focused on the npm JavaScript ecosystem, looking specifically at widely used packages. [00:05:23] The first part of the dissertation involved interviews with maintainers who rely on abandoned packages and often lack tools or clear processes for responding. [00:06:31] Courtney describes two types of abandonment: Explicit Notice Abandonment and Activity Based Abandonment. [00:09:27] Courtney explains the third and final chapter called, Designing Abandabot. [00:11:10] Richard raises the point that some software can be “done” and still function fine. Courtney agrees, noting that not all abandonment matters and beyond alerts remediation matters. [00:13:22] The conversation expands into under-resourced and under-maintained projects, which can also become supply chain risks before they are fully abandoned. [00:14:53] Richard brings up the “Whale Fall” idea and Courtney agrees and points to responsible sunsetting as an important research area. [00:17:39] We learn about Courtney's experience bringing AI into the dissertation, especially for building Abandabot's prediction system. [00:20:54] Richard asks whether AI is already making abandonment more common. [00:24:52] Courtney talks about staying grounded in real practitioner problems as the open source and AI landscape changes quickly. [00:26:30] Final Takeaways: Courtney argues that abandonment needs to be addressed now, especially through software composition analysis tools that can help developers understand and respond to real dependency risk. Quotes [00:01:35] “The title of my dissertation is: “Supporting the Sustainable Use of Open Source Software.” [00:07:10] “There is no right answer how to define abandonment.” [00:07:26] “Explicit Notice Abandonment”- where the maintainers of a package publicly express their intent to no longer do so.” [00:07:42] “The other type of abandonment was called “Activity Based Abandonment” -commonly used as a way of identifying abandonment in open source sustainability literature.” [00:08:26] “Out of the widely used packages, around 15% had abandonment issues.” [00:11:38] “Not all abandonment matters. If left pad is abandoned, who cares?” [00:21:35] “Maybe projects never have to die. You can create a fork and maintain it on your own.” Spotlight [00:27:20] Richard's spotlight is the translation feature on iPhone in Books. [00:28:20] Courtney's potlight is her dog, Chanel, and SAFE-MCP.

Today's Scripture: Jeremiah 17:5–8 In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook reflects on the powerful image of a tree planted by water. She explores what happens when we ask approval, productivity, perfectionism, control, or another person's response to carry the full weight of our security. We explore: *Why needing people is not the problem—but making one person your source can drain your soul *How approval, productivity, perfectionism, and control can become fragile root systems *Why fear-based attachment makes it hard to receive goodness *How to become like a tree planted by water, steady even when heat or drought comes *How secure attachment with God helps you receive love without clinging to it Connect with Dr. Alison on Instagram: @dralisoncook Join 80,000+ Soul Menders in Dr. Alison's free email community for ongoing reflection and support.

Episode 398 revisits neuroscientist Friederike Fabritius (from November 2022) to explain how three ingredients — fun (dopamine), fear (productive challenge), and focus — create the neurochemical conditions for sustained motivation and flow. You'll also learn why individual neurosignatures matter and how designing environments that match your brain, rather than forcing yourself to change, makes effort easier and motivation durable. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. In This Episode 398, Closing the Motivation Loop, with Friederike Fabritius, We Will Cover: ✔ How FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS create the neurochemical conditions for sustainable motivation ✔ Why dopamine is more than a pleasure chemical—and how it fuels motivation, anticipation, effort, and reinforcement ✔ How FUN creates dopamine and keeps us engaged in meaningful work ✔ Why the right amount of FEAR (challenge) drives growth without causing burnout ✔ How FOCUS converts energy, attention, and motivation into measurable results ✔ The connection between FUN, FEAR, FOCUS, and the Motivation Loop ✔ Why different brains require different motivation strategies ✔ Understanding your unique "Neurosignature" and how it influences performance ✔ How dopamine interacts with other neurochemicals like testosterone, estrogen, serotonin, and oxytocin ✔ Why sustainable motivation begins with self-awareness ✔ The Stress vs. Performance Curve and finding your optimal challenge zone ✔ How under-challenge leads to boredom and over-challenge leads to burnout ✔ Why peak performance occurs when challenge matches your brain's needs ✔ How to design environments that support attention, motivation, and performance ✔ Why the strongest motivation loops are powered by alignment—not willpower ✔ Practical strategies to create the conditions where your brain naturally wants to engage and perform ✔ How self-awareness, energy management, and neurochemistry work together to sustain long-term success ✔ What keeps the Motivation Loop repeating—and what causes it to break ✔ How to close Phase 2: Neurochemistry & Motivation and prepare for Phase 3: Movement, Learning & Cognition

I am joined by returning guest Indrajit Samarajiva, also known as Indi or Indica. We pick up from our last interview, when we discussed White Empire, its decline, the Axis of Resistance, and the shifting terrain of warfare. Namely, I asked Indi how he understands the United States (the head of the White Empire) and Israel's war of aggression on Iran and why and how Iran has successfully fought back, effectively won, and asserted its sovereignty, and what this portends for the future of the US and Israel and their expansionist aims. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/indrajit-samarajiva-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast // Subscribe: https://pod.link/1169842000 [ EP 405 / REC 05.27.2026 / REL 06.08.2026 ]

Send us Fan MailHave you ever found yourself wanting to go back to something you already know you've outgrown?Maybe it's an old relationship.An old habit.A scarcity mindset.A way of thinking that feels familiar, even though it keeps you small.This morning, I sat down in my chair and heard one clear phrase in my spirit:Don't go back to Egypt.And I knew immediately what it meant.In the Bible, Egypt wasn't just a place. It represented bondage, captivity, limitation, and survival. The Israelites physically left Egypt in one night, but it took much longer to get the mindset of Egypt out of them.And honestly? I think we all have places like that.We can leave a toxic relationship but still carry toxic thinking.We can leave scarcity but still make every decision from fear.We can leave insecurity but still crave validation from everyone around us.We can step into freedom but still feel pulled backward by familiarity.That's the danger.Sometimes bondage feels safer simply because it's predictable. Freedom feels unfamiliar. Growth feels uncomfortable. The wilderness feels uncertain. But discomfort does not mean you're going in the wrong direction.In this episode, I'm talking about how to stop romanticizing the very things God delivered you from and how to renew your mind for the next season of your life.Because you cannot sustain a promised-land life with a slave mentality.You have to think differently. Speak differently.  Expect differently. And sometimes, you have to bless the past while deciding it no longer belongs in your future.I also share a personal moment when I realized I was being drawn back toward a relationship from my past. There was nothing wrong with the person, but I knew it wasn't where my future was. And sometimes that's the hardest part: recognizing that something can be good, meaningful, and valuable for a season without being meant to continue forever.If you've been circling the same mountain, revisiting the same fear, or feeling tempted to shrink back into what's comfortable, this episode is for you.Your future self will thank you for moving forward.Your future generations will thank you for moving forward.And the life God has for you is too important to spend staring into the rearview mirror.Don't go back to Egypt.Keep putting one foot in front of the other.Keep renewing your mind.Keep moving forward.You truly are more!Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comJoin The 6AM Club Bible Study!

You love each other. You communicate. You trust each other. You're best friends. So why does the spark feel different? Why can a relationship feel safe, connected, and stable… yet still feel flat, predictable, or disconnected sexually?   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, Kim & Roberto explore one of the biggest misconceptions about long-term relationships: Emotional intimacy is essential… but it's not enough on its own to sustain passion. They unpack the missing ingredient many couples overlook, why roommate energy slowly replaces attraction, and how to create both emotional safety and erotic aliveness in a conscious partnership.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why emotional intimacy matters deeply… and why it still won't create lasting passion on its own How predictability, routine, and "best friend energy" can slowly erode attraction What polarity really means (and why it has nothing to do with toxic relationship dynamics) How over-functioning, resentment, and parenting your partner destroy desire Why safety without polarity creates friendship… and polarity without safety creates unhealthy chemistry The importance of maintaining your own individuality, confidence, playfulness, and aliveness inside a relationship The formula for sustainable passion: emotional safety + polarity + presence + play   You do not have to choose between love and desire. Between emotional safety and erotic connection. Between trust and attraction. The healthiest relationships create both. Because emotional intimacy creates safety. Polarity creates a spark. And together…they create the kind of passion that continues growing long after the honeymoon phase is over.

Sami Inkinen is a three-time founder and world-class triathlete. A triathlete! And yet he went to the doctor and discovered he was pre-diabetic. The news triggered a series of changes including a pivot away from his real estate startup Trulia toward his healthcare company Virta Health, where he's now on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. And along the way, he developed something he calls sustainable high performance. It's the idea that if you're building something that takes decades, you'd better figure out how to last that long.

I'm joined in this episode by returning guest Kollibri terre Sonnenblume—writer, photographer, tree-hugger, animal lover, occasional farmer, and cultural dissident. We begin by discussing the theme of Kollibri's essay, Stop Insulting Animals: We must own our own culture and selves, a piece that addresses how we speak about animals—the bad metaphors, clumsy euphemisms, and casual degradations of more-than-human life in common parlance—revealing something deeply rooted in the dominant culture. It may seem trivial, but examining language unveils how deeply unexamined human supremacism is.  Our discussion then moves into the subject of Sonnenblume's upcoming piece examining one of the main drivers of habitat loss globally: industrial agriculture. We excavate the roots of this ever-expanding paradigm of food production and land use, going back to the Neolithic Revolution millennia ago and the Industrial Revolution centuries ago, and how we are reaching hard material limits presently, with extinction-level outcomes. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/kollibri-terre-sonnenblume-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast // Subscribe: https://pod.link/1169842000 [ EP 404 / REC 05.09.2026 / REL 06.01.2026 ]

Avoiding creator burnout and reconnecting with your "why" with Josh Zimmerman of Creator Coach.  ----- Welcome to episode 572 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Josh Zimmerman.  How to Sustain Long-Term Creativity Without Burning Out with Josh Zimmerman What happens when your personal brand is you and the work starts to feel like too much? Josh Zimmerman knows this territory well. After a career in journalism, he made the pivot to life coaching specifically for creators, drawn to the unique pressures that come with building a business around your identity and your output. In this episode, Josh and Bjork dig into the mental side of creative work; specifically, why burnout hits creators differently, how to reconnect with the "why" behind what you do, and what it actually looks like to build a sustainable creative business for the long haul. They also talk about the role of fractional C-suite executives and how bringing in the right support can help you manage the business side of things without losing your creative spark. If you've ever felt the weight of your work pressing in on your sense of self, this episode is a great reminder that you're not alone. and that there's a way forward. Three episode takeaways: Your identity and your work are not the same thing: When your personal brand is built around who you are, it's easy for criticism or creative slumps to feel deeply personal. Recognizing that separation — and actively protecting it — is key to long-term sustainability as a creator.  How to reconnect with your "why": When motivation starts to fade, the answer isn't always to push harder. Getting clear on your core motivations and the reasons you started creating in the first place can be one of the most practical things you do for your business. You don't have to run every part of your business alone: Bringing in outside support can free you up to focus on the creative work you actually love, without letting the operational side of your business drain your energy and spark.

UnBecoming Part 4.1 - The Blue Book (May 18, 2026)Every major change in your life has been preceded by, and in hindsight, likely predicted by the arrival of a certain blue book. You used to think you were the one finding the book, buying the book, reading the book, remembering to take the Name again, giving the book away again, forgetting the Name again, life falling apart again, finding the book, buying the book... you finally saw the pattern. It only took three cycles. Two incarnations, two different versions of yourself to catch on to the game.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character. Relationships matter.” “That success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens with care.” Overall Impact of the Interview This interview serves as a masterclass on creative longevity and wealth-building without celebrity dependency. Kurt Farquhar’s story reframes success as: Consistent excellence Relationship stewardship Business ownership Adaptability across generations It is especially powerful for: Creatives seeking sustainable careers Entrepreneurs building IP-based businesses Professionals navigating long-term relevance Anyone pursuing “quiet wealth” over public fame #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
