It is really fucking hard to change your habits and your actions while believing everything you currently believe about yourself. It's more effective in the long run to shift your ideas about your identity first, and allow the actions that align with that identity to support this identity shift. To live “like” the person you want to be, you first have to recognize your capability to do so. If I want to complete a marathon, I have to become the type of person that prioritizes running. If I want to learn to swim, I have to be someone who is willing to put on a bathing suit and get in the water. I can't keep thinking of myself as some ineffective, incompetent failure if I don't want to feel like an ineffective, incompetent failure. I have to start thinking of myself as capable, and competent, and effective; and I really have to do my best to believe it. The more I am able to align myself with that identity, the easier it is to show up and do the things other people who identify the same way do. It's easier to think of these new behaviors as a lifestyle choice. Not a habit you're trying to do more of. If I say, I'm trying to eat less meat, it is less convincing to myself than when I say, I'm no longer eating meat. Or even more so, if I can call myself a vegetarian. When I leaned fully into the vegetarian identity, it was easier for me to know what choices did and didn't fit with that.

Walk This Way

Yates Baptist Church

The Jordan was at flood stage when the priests waded in — before the water moved. Obedience came first. Click here to read the sermon “Walk This Way” Joshua 3:1–4; 3:14–16; 4:18–24 It's such a treat to be back with you. My name is Rob Stone. If we haven't met yet, it's so good to be with you. This is my second of what will be three weeks preaching for you here at Yates Baptist Church. And we are in a series we started last week called Onward: Moving Toward the Uncharted. Onward, moving toward the uncharted. And of course we're walking through the book of Joshua. The book of Joshua is one of my favorite books of the Bible, because Joshua finds a people in the middle of a dramatic change, a dramatic shift. The people of Israel, if you follow from the book of Exodus, have been set free from their captivity, from their slavery in Egypt, but they have spent the better part of the last forty years wandering in the wilderness. They essentially lose a generation in the wilderness. But God is raising up a generation that's going to lead them into the promised land. So after the death of Moses, Joshua finds himself tasked with leading the people of Israel into the promised land. They're going to cross the Jordan River and make their way into Israel. I'm very excited about where we are today, because last week we discovered the what. Last week, we discovered the what: that God has called Joshua to lead the people into the promised land, and He made a lot of promises. We saw that Joshua will only inherit what he inhabits — Joshua will only inherit what he inhabits, which is another way of saying God's promise to Joshua is that every place the sole of his foot treads, God has given to him (cf. Josh 1:3, HCSB) [see "A New Dawn, A New Day," July 12, 2026]. And we talked about last week how that can be a promise, but it's not just a promise — it's a principle. And a principle is a promise that is user dependent. It's a promise that depends on whether or not you live it out, because God's promise to Joshua is a promise that depends on Joshua's action. Joshua has to take steps of obedience in order to receive the blessing that comes with God's promise. But if Joshua keeps his feet planted exactly as they are, if Joshua is not willing to be obedient, then the promise becomes a curse for him. Joshua has to take action. Joshua has to take steps of obedience. And I believe that is what God has called us to as well, because as we talked about last week, I believe God has not brought us this far just to bring us this far. There is more to go. There is further to go. And I believe, by God's power, that the best is yet to come. So before we jump into the second week of the series — looking not just at the what, but the how — because the what is great, but a what without a how leaves us all feeling a little confused. It leaves us lacking clarity, especially if we don't know how to get where we're going. Now, we live in 2026, and I have my phone right here — it has some points of the sermon that I'm going to cover. How many of you have your phones with you? Raise your hand if you have your phone, lift it up high. There we go. We are a smartphone people. Okay, let's try it this way — just for my own interest: if you're an iPhone user, raise your hand. Okay. If you use anything else, raise your hand. [Laughter.] Look at you. Come on now — a bunch of green dots showing up in the group texts. "So-and-so reacted to a photo." We can see it now, all you green-dot people, you non-iPhone users in the room. But here's why I mention it: a smartphone is beautiful, especially if you are lost. And really, with a smartphone, how could you ever truly be lost? But I want you to journey with me back to 2001 — December of 2001. I'm a college student at the University of Central Florida. I'm from Florida, by the way — I don't know if there are any other Floridians in the room. Come on, Sunshine State, look how far we've made it. I was a junior at the University of Central Florida, working with a campus ministry called Campus Crusade for Christ that now goes by Cru. Cru has Christmas Conference every year — our big regional conference. Because I was a student in the Southeast, Christmas Conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia. And there are lots of things to love about Atlanta, Georgia — Waffle House, Chick-fil-A, it's all wonderful, I appreciate it. But here's the thing I can't stand about Atlanta: driving in Atlanta is awful. Amen? Around the city of Atlanta is a circle, the perimeter, if you will, and it is a ten-lane highway that just forms a circle all around the city. And depending on where you get on this circle, the directions you're following make no sense, because there's an inner circle and an outer circle. Here I am in Atlanta before the invention of the iPhone. I want you to remember back in the days of a road atlas — you're pulling it out, maybe you've got it hidden in a map somewhere, and you pull that map out and try to figure out, as you're driving, where you're going. None of it is safe. We're going to our service project — how many of our youth went to Passport, by the way? Raise your hand if you were at Passport last week. Come on, vámonos, I love it, great job. So here's the thing: we're doing our service project as part of this conference, and we're headed into a place in Atlanta, and my friend who lives in Atlanta is like, "I know exactly how to get there." And then he proceeded to tell me — and if you don't live in a city, someone telling you the roads and the various points along the way isn't really helpful. So I do what dumb young men do: I go, "Got it. Gotcha. Totally see you there." And I take off, and I'm getting on I-285, this giant thing that goes around the city. I hop on I-285, and I know I need to go two exits west of where we are on the northern part of this highway. So I follow the sign that says west. But the west sign takes me in the opposite direction, because it's telling me where I'm ultimately trying to end up — not where I'm immediately going. Again, a highway that makes no sense. The fine folks of Atlanta, Georgia need to get their stuff figured out. But I turn the wrong way, and now I spend the next hour just looping around the city, seeing all the sights all the way around Atlanta. Finally, someone in my car has a cell phone — I don't own a cell phone yet, this is 2001, this is pre–cell phone days for me. Someone in the car has a cell phone: "Where are you all at?" "We're still on 285, looking for the exit." We eventually make our way there. This time, as we're going back to the hotel from the service project, I didn't just listen to what my friend told me when he told me how to get back. I said, "You go first, and I will follow you." We got back to the hotel in about five minutes. Now, there are wives in the room being very sweet about not elbowing your husbands right now — I appreciate that, I'm grateful for that — because if I had been married at that point, my wife would have said, "Hey, you don't know where you're going. How about you follow someone who does?" You don't know how to get there — why don't you follow someone who knows how to get there? I knew the what. I knew what we were going to do. I just didn't know how to get there, and I thought I could just figure it out. And of course I didn't, because you can't just figure out everything. Sometimes the only way to learn is to watch someone who knows what they're doing, who knows how to do it. And so here we are in week two of the sermon series Onward, with a message I have titled "Walk This Way." Because just like Joshua and the people of Israel, and just like us today, we need to know not just where we're going — we need to know how to get there. And so this is what we find as we open up Joshua chapter three and Joshua chapter four. We're not going to read the entirety of the two chapters — we're going to read some selections of Scripture from these two chapters. But beginning in Joshua chapter three, verse one — this is Joshua 3:1–4: Joshua started early the next morning and left the Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing. After three days the officers went through the camp and commanded the people, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God carried by the Levitical priests, you must break camp and follow it. But keep a distance of about a thousand yards between yourselves and the ark. Don't go near it, so that you can see the way to go, for you haven't traveled this way before." (Josh 3:1–4, HCSB) I love how practical this section of Scripture is. It's this beautiful thing — it's Joshua saying, "Hey, we're going to follow the ark. We're going to follow God. We're going to follow God where He is leading us, but we're going to let God lead the way. We're not going to jump ahead of God," because sometimes in our lives we try to jump ahead of God's will, and we find ourselves not in the place we wanted to be. Amen? Sometimes we go, "I know what God wants for me," and we find ourselves in a place we never thought we would be — in a circumstance we never imagined we would be in. And here's Joshua, and he's saying, "Come on, we're all going to be ready. You're going to get ready to follow." And the reason you're going to follow is because you don't know where we're going — you've never been there before. There's a French philosopher who said these beautiful words: "If we want to reach new lands, we must be willing to lose sight of the shore.”1 I don't know how many of you have maybe been out on a cruise ship — have you been out on the water? There's something terrifying that happens when you get out in the ocean, and suddenly you look around, three hundred sixty degrees, everywhere you look all you see is horizon. That's a scary spot to be, because if all you have is horizon, you don't really know where you are, you don't really know where you're going. For Joshua, he's saying, look, so much of our wandering, so much of the place we've been stuck in for the last forty years, is because we didn't know how to get out of it. We didn't know how to take the next step. We didn't know how to move forward. And here's Joshua saying: we're going to follow God, and God is going to lead us into a new place. But in order for God to lead us to a new place, we're going to have to walk in a brand-new way. We're going to have to go to a place we have never been before. To put it another way: if we want to reach new lands, we must follow a new path. Church, I want you to hear me when I say this. If we want to reach new lands, if we want to be in a new place, if we want to go where we have not been before, then we're going to have to take a brand-new path to get there. Because all the paths that are familiar to us, all the ways that are known to us, all the directions we are comfortable with, just lead us to the places we've already been. If we want to reach new lands, we've got to follow a brand-new path. We've got to be willing to do some new things and move in a new direction. And if we're honest — new is scary. New is scary, and let's be real: I'm in my forties now, I have three kids, I have teenagers at home. New isn't just scary — new feels sometimes a little irresponsible, because I've got people who are counting on me, I've got kids I'm trying to pay for college for. The older I get, new feels like more and more of a risk. So the older we get, new seems to be a bridge just too far. But God didn't bring us this far just to take us this far — which means it's time for us to get used to new. It's time to get comfortable with new. It's time to get comfortable with the risks that come with new, because we want to reach new lands, and you only reach new lands by following a new path. We're going to skip ahead to verse fourteen — this is Joshua 3:14–16: When the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of the people. Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge and the water flowing downstream stood still, rising up in a mass that extended as far as Adam, a city next to Zarethan. (Josh 3:14–16, HCSB) I want you to track what's happening here. There has been a command from Joshua to the officers for what all the people are going to do: hey, we're going to follow a new path, we're going to go a new direction. And the people are being obedient — the people are saying, "I'm ready, we are ready." They have broken camp. The people are leading. The priests carrying the ark step their feet in the water, and the water stops. Now, here's something to know: the Jordan River is not a large river. If you look at pictures of the Jordan, through most of the year it's about the width of this stage — so crossing it through most of the year is not really a huge deal, especially this far south, because once you get this far south, this is the lowest-lying region on planet Earth. The Dead Sea is just south of here. But it's flood season, so we're not talking about just crossing the stage — we're talking about a flood. In October 2024 (sic) [Hurricane Helene's catastrophic inland flooding in Western North Carolina occurred primarily September 26–28], Hurricane Helene came through Western Carolina and dumped an amount of rain the region had not seen in nearly a hundred years. What happened to all the rivers there? They immediately flooded. The problem is, in any mountainous terrain, you build roads next to rivers, because rivers do what water often does — they follow the path of least resistance. If you're engineering roads, you also want to follow the path of least resistance; otherwise, you're going to spend tons of time, energy, and resources cutting roads into a mountain. So when these rivers flooded, it didn't just flood the rivers — it flooded the roads, it flooded the homes, it flooded the businesses. Suddenly you have this whole area of Western North Carolina destroyed essentially by rain, by floodwaters overflowing these rivers, and you become acutely aware of how powerful floodwaters can be. So we get this detail — this is what the Jordan River was like as they're getting ready to cross. Now again, we've got to be comfortable with new, we've got to get comfortable with the risk associated with new, because let's be honest — if any of us was part of the team with Joshua that day, wouldn't we go, "You know, Joshua, if we could just chill here for another three months, this crossing would be much easier. Joshua, you've picked the worst time to do this — these are flooding rivers. We've waited forty years to do this; another two weeks ain't gonna kill us." That's what, let's be honest, that's what we would say if we were with Joshua that day. But we get this detail, and the reason we get this detail is to understand the power of what comes next: "But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge, and the water flowing downstream stood still." Now, what does this immediately remind you of? [A member of the congregation responds.] Q: And what's your name? A: Gail. Y'all give it up for Gail — Gail had the right answer, come on, that's right. This is the same group of people who, forty years earlier, was fleeing Pharaoh and the Egyptian army, and they get to the Red Sea, and what happens when they get to the water (cf. Exod 14:21–22)? Here they are — an entire race of people, an entire ethnicity of people, fleeing their enslavers, and they get to a body of water they cannot cross. It looks like it's over. It looks like this is the end of the story. Surely the people in that moment are terrified for their lives. But God tells Moses to stand up, and what happens to the waters? They part. Now here we are, forty years later, Joshua leading the people to cross the river — a much smaller body of water, but still a significant body of water in flood season — and the priests are carrying the ark, and their feet hit the water, and when their feet hit the water, a wall of water stands. I don't know about you, but when I am afraid, nothing comforts me faster than remembering how God has rescued me before. The older we get, the harder new becomes. But the older we get, the more testimony we have in our rearview mirror. The older we get, the more we have seen, time and time again: "I didn't think there was a way out. I didn't think there was any hope in this situation, and God came through." How many of us — the greatest testimony of our life is something we would have never asked for, something we would have dreaded if someone said it was coming, and yet we can look back on that season and go, "God, thank You. Thank You for bringing me to it, and thank You for bringing me through it. God, thank You, because now I know what You're capable of." There's this beautiful thing that happens before the people step into a new land, before they take this new path to their new destination, to their new future: before any of that happens, God reminds them of His past faithfulness. Church, we need our memories of God's past faithfulness. We need our memories of God's past faithfulness. We need that. [Addressing the media team.] This is the time for that slide to move on — thank you. We need our memories of God's past faithfulness. We need it. Every one of those stories you have — those stories we call your testimony — every one of those stories of God's past faithfulness, we need them. We need every one. We need the stories from the previous generations of God's faithfulness. If you were lucky enough to grow up with a mother and a father who worship the Lord, then you have generations of past faithfulness to talk about. Some of you in this room know what it's like to have generations and generations go before you, and you can tell the story of God's past faithfulness to those generations. And when you hear the stories of God's past faithfulness, it should not lead you to be afraid. It should not leave you suddenly more conservative in your decision-making. The more you are aware of God's past faithfulness, the more boldness you should have to take steps down a new path to a brand-new destination — because God has proven it time and time again, in your own story, in the story of your family before you, in the story of the generations that have gone before. God has been faithful time and time again, and He's not about to quit right now. He's not about to stop! This should be so encouraging for us, church, because seeing this story is the reminder that God is always true to His promise — He is faithful yesterday, today, and forever. So church, when we find ourselves at a crossroads where we've got to pick — hey, are we going to do the same thing we've always done and end up in the same place we've always been, or are we going to do something brand new? Are we going to have enough faith to take a new path to a new destination? If you're struggling with that today, if you're like me, if you're someone who — the older you get, the more you struggle with that kind of decision — I want to encourage you to take a moment today and just remember God's past faithfulness. I want you to remember the ways God showed up time and time again when people were willing to trust Him enough to follow a new path to a new destination. Joshua and the people of Israel, the twelve tribes of Israel, make their way across the river. Historians disagree on the predicted size of the nation of Israel at this time, but somewhere between eighty thousand and two hundred fifty thousand people is what we're talking about, and they have made the journey across the river. Now, moving across a river, especially when it's dry because the water has stopped, doesn't take forever — but when you've got that many people, it takes a while. It takes a while, and I wonder how many people got to the river, saw the water standing still, and still rushed, still ran — "Hey, it's been hours now, it was good for that tribe and that tribe, but I'd better get working fast, I'd better run my way across this river." The people of Israel make their way to the other side. And before they get out of the river entirely, Joshua orders each tribe to choose one person and send that person back to the riverbed to pull a rock out of the dry place they have crossed on. Joshua orders the people to go back, take twelve rocks, and bring those rocks to the west side of the river. They've crossed from the east side to the west side, and here they are on the west side, and they stack up these twelve stones as a monument. And the monument was not to an event. The monument was not to a thing that happened. The monument was about God's faithfulness. When we turn to Joshua 4:18–24, this is what we read: When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant came up from the middle of the Jordan and their feet stepped out onto solid ground, the waters of the Jordan resumed their course, flowing over all the banks as before. The people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped at Gilgal, on the eastern limits of Jericho. Then Joshua set up in Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan, and he said this to the Israelites: "In the future, when your children ask their fathers, 'What is the meaning of these stones?' you should tell your children, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.' For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over. This is so that all the people of the earth may know that the Lord's hand is mighty, and so that you may always fear the Lord your God." (Josh 4:18–24, HCSB) I want to stop here for a second. Look at the Scripture — "This is so." Now, last week we opened up and talked about the what: it's God coming to Joshua — "Joshua, you're going to lead the people into the promised land, into the land I am giving them as an inheritance. You're going to do it, Joshua." There's the what. We started this week looking at the how: here's how we're going to do it. We don't know the way, so we're following God, and God is going to lead us on a new path to a brand-new land. So we've got the what and the how. But as Simon Sinek would say, the most important thing in your life is not the what or the how — the most important thing in your life is the why. Why are you being faithful? Why are you here in church this morning? Why do you give? Why do you sacrifice? Why do you do the right thing when no one is watching, when no one will ever know if you didn't? What's your why? I love that Joshua hears from the Lord — this is the why: "so that all the people of the earth may know that the Lord's hand is mighty, and so that you may always fear the Lord your God." There's a lie we can get sucked into if we're not careful — the lie that everything God has done in the Old Testament is about giving one ethnicity a place to call home. I want you to know that what God is doing in the Old Testament is so much bigger and so much greater than that, because what Joshua is doing is not about a people receiving this plot of land — it's about the whole earth knowing that the Lord's hand is mighty, and so that we may always have fear of the Lord our God, which is what Solomon will say is wisdom (cf. Prov 9:10, HCSB). God's why in getting a group of less than a quarter million people from one side of the river to the next, God's why in what He's going to do next week as we look at the Battle of Jericho, God's why in everything that happens in the rest of the Old Testament is the same: that all the earth may know the Lord and have wisdom, because the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. God's why is that the whole earth would know Him and have wisdom. I wonder today for us — we've got a called business meeting right after the church service. There's a lot going on at Yates Baptist Church, and let's be honest, I think there's still some confusion. But what I want to let you know is this: if we focus too much on this, we'll miss the whole story, we'll miss the bigger picture, we'll miss what God has come to do. And what I want to let you know is this: everything God has done in your life, everything God has done in this church, everything God has done in every church that has ever been, has been the same as God's why in Joshua chapter four — that the whole world would know Him and walk in wisdom. God's why is that the whole earth would know Him and walk in wisdom. And I wonder today, if that became your why — if that became your why, that everything you did was so that people could know God and walk in wisdom — how would it change things? How would it change your life? How would it change your choices? How would it change your community? How would God bring dead things to life all around you if we adopted that as our why? I love that Joshua gives the why to the people this way — he says, "In the future, when your children ask you." Do you see what's happening? It's Joshua saying, right now, I want you to prepare yourselves to remember, prepare yourselves to remember what God has done, because the day is coming where the next generation is going to ask you what this means, and you go, "I'm so glad you've asked" — because my why, my motivating factor in my whole life, has been to tell you this story. Let me tell you about my God, and let me give you all you need to begin walking in wisdom. So church, we've celebrated two weeks in a row of children and teenagers spending time in camp, spending formative time in community, hearing more about the God we worship. You've got to be a part of it — you've gotten to be a part of it already, in the last two weeks. In the future, when your children ask, you've been able to send your children to places where all they've done is learn about who God is and how to walk in wisdom. So church, today — are you prepared? Are you prepared to remember what God is about to do? Because the testimony of God's might and His work is not just a story for yesterday — that's a story for today. Tomorrow, you have no idea what God might do. You have no idea what God might do. So the question for each and every one of us: are we prepared to remember what God is about to do — what has not yet come to fruition, but which we see by faith and not by sight (cf. 2 Cor 5:7, HCSB)? I believe that's our why, and I believe if it becomes your why, it just might change the whole world. Let me pray for us. Heavenly Father, we love You, we praise You, God. We are people who have testimony, who have story after story of how You have been good, how You have been faithful, how You have delivered us when there seemed to be no other way. And so God, we are asking the same right now, and we are believing by faith, not by sight, that You are about to do a new thing. Would You give us the obedience? Would You give us the courage? Would You give us the boldness to follow You on a new path to a brand-new future? And would You prepare our hearts now to remember what You're about to do, so that as generations come, we can declare Your faithfulness to each and every generation. God, would You help us to live with a why like Yours, like Joshua's? Would You help us to live with a why that says everything I do is so that the whole world will know Jesus and walk in the wisdom His Holy Spirit provides? Jesus, we pray this in Your name. Amen.

Stop Waiting: How to Take Action and Create OpportunitiesHave you ever found yourself saying, "I'll do it when things get better"? Maybe it's about starting a business, having that difficult conversation, or launching a new project. This mindset, although it seems logical, could be one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves. In this post, we'll explore why waiting for the perfect moment can hold you back and how taking action now can lead to success. ### Understanding the Myth of the Perfect TimeMany of us believe that we need to be completely ready before we take the next step. We convince ourselves that one more class, one more book, or one more certification will eliminate all uncertainties. But the truth is, the perfect time doesn't exist. Life is constantly moving, and opportunities don't pause for our readiness.When faced with a negotiation or a tough conversation, waiting for confidence to catch up will only lead to missed opportunities. Instead, recognize that action precedes confidence. Think about learning to ride a bike: you didn't wait until you felt confident; you got on the bike, wobbled, and fell a few times. Over time, your confidence grew alongside your experience.### The Cost of WaitingWaiting can feel safe, but it comes at a cost. For every day you postpone that conversation or delay creating content, someone else is stepping up and seizing the opportunity. Consider this: each week you hesitate to build your business, another entrepreneur might be capturing the clients you hope to work with.It's essential to challenge yourself. Ask: "What decision have I been postponing because I'm waiting to feel ready?" Acknowledging that uncertainty never fully disappears is key. Instead of allowing it to paralyze you, focus on becoming stronger than your fear.### The Power of WillingnessThe most successful individuals didn't wait for permission or the perfect time; they gave themselves permission to act. They learned to move forward even when fear was present. The challenge is to identify one thing you've been waiting to do—make that phone call, schedule that meeting, or start that project. Take a step today, not tomorrow. Remember, opportunities won't announce their arrival; they will simply fade away if you don't act. ### Taking Action: Your Next StepsHere's your challenge: identify the one thing you've been postponing. Is it a tough conversation, launching a project, or pursuing a new career? Whatever it is, commit to taking one action today that will bring you closer to your goal. Remember, productive people don't wait for opportunities; they prepare, act, and grow while others are still waiting. ### Key Takeaways- The perfect time to act doesn't exist; waiting holds you back.- Confidence is built through action, not the other way around.- Identify decisions you've been postponing and take action today.- Don't wait for permission; give yourself the go-ahead to pursue your goals.### Frequently Asked Questions**Why is waiting for the perfect time detrimental?**  Waiting for the perfect moment can lead to missed opportunities, as life continues to move forward regardless of your readiness.**How can I overcome my fear of taking action?**  Recognize that uncertainty never fully disappears. Focus on taking small steps and building your confidence through experience.**What should I do if I feel overwhelmed?**  Break your goals into smaller, manageable tasks and tackle them one at a time. This helps reduce overwhelm and fosters progress.**Can taking action really lead to success?**  Yes, taking action is often the catalyst for success. It allows you to learn, adapt, and seize opportunities as they arise.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productive-not-busy-podcast-with-wayne-weathersby--6261465/support. Subscribe today and join a community that's growing stronger every week.

What does it take to go from spending 18 months chasing your first commercial real estate deal to raising more than $12 million in private capital and participating in over 40 syndications? In this episode, Trevor Thompson shares the lessons behind his seven-and-a-half-year journey from passive investor to active sponsor and Vice President of Investor Engagement at Massive Capital. Trevor reveals how he raised $380,000 in just five days on his first capital raise, why commercial real estate is a team sport, and how focusing on his strengths in relationships and investor engagement helped accelerate his growth. He also discusses losing $75,000 on his first GP deal, the importance of choosing the right sponsors and partners, why investors must know, like, and trust you before they invest, and the critical shift from raising capital to attracting capital. Whether you're working toward your first deal or looking to grow your investor network, this episode delivers practical lessons on relationships, resilience, credibility, and building lasting success in commercial real estate.5 Key Takeaways1. Commercial Real Estate Is a Team Sport Trevor explains why investors and entrepreneurs don't need to master every aspect of commercial real estate themselves. Identifying your strengths, finding experienced partners, and becoming part of the right community can help you move forward without trying to do everything alone.2. Focus on Attracting Capital, Not Chasing It One of Trevor's biggest mindset shifts was moving from “raising capital” to “attracting capital.” He explains why desperation can push investors away and why consistently educating, helping, and building relationships creates stronger opportunities over time.3. Investors Must Know, Like, and Trust You First Trevor shares examples of investors who took anywhere from 10 minutes to three years before investing. His experiences demonstrate why every investor requires a different approach and why long-term relationships, education, referrals, and consistent follow-up matter.4. Failure Can Become Valuable Experience After losing $75,000 on his first GP deal and later walking away from another deal after losing $68,000, Trevor explains how setbacks can provide critical lessons, strengthen credibility, and help investors and operators make better decisions in the future.5. Take Action, But Choose Your Partners Carefully Trevor encourages investors to say yes to opportunities, keep learning, and continue moving forward—but not out of desperation. He emphasizes the importance of understanding who you're doing business with, evaluating sponsors carefully, and surrounding yourself with experienced people before committing to a deal.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

What do uneven benefits changes from mega corporations tell us about how these workplaces value women? In the past few months, both Deloitte and Zoom have publicly announced significant changes to particular portions of their employee benefits packages. These adjustments amount to telling certain employees (mostly women) that they matter less than others.  By slashing paid family and medical leave and paid time off for “support roles,” Deloitte is effectively hamstringing the predominantly female portion of their staff - those workers in positions like finance, admin, and HR (and the changes also impact IT and marketing). Comparatively, they confirmed that no deductions will befall employees in client-facing positions. In this episode, I break down what companies are saying when they curb vital childcare and parental benefits for the portion of their workforce that shoulders the bulk of caregiving responsibilities. Learn more about this “gender-scrubbing” form of sexism that perpetuates workplace inequity, including: How companies use language to erase women from the narrative; The dangerous precedent that a change like this sets; Why not all two-tier benefit structures are made equal; Four steps you can take to make your voice heard.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the biggest challenge facing our communities isn't a lack of ideas... but our willingness to act?In this episode of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, I sit down with Catherine Wilson, President & CEO of United Way of Greater Newark for one of the most honest conversations I've had about leadership, community, and creating meaningful change.We begin with an unexpected question inspired by the excitement surrounding the Knicks:If complete strangers can unite around a basketball team, why can't we unite around strengthening our communities?That one question opened the door to a conversation about what happens when we stop talking and start making intentional decisions.Together, we explore:• Why Catherine believes we need to stop talking about issues and start looking at what the data is actually telling us so we can make informed, courageous decisions.• The growing leadership crisis in the nonprofit sector, including burnout, compensation, succession planning, and why organizations must stop trying to be everything to everyone if they want to build sustainable futures.• Why the conversation around paid nonprofit sabbaticals isn't about taking a vacation—it's about investing in leaders so they can continue serving others without sacrificing themselves.• Why preparing for leadership starts long before you're given the title by showing up, asking questions, observing, listening, and learning.• Why your degree or résumé may open a door, but your character, curiosity, relationships, and willingness to grow determine the leader you become.• Why board service should never be about prestige or filling a seat, but about passion, engagement, and opening doors that create lasting impact.• How one investment in one individual can create a ripple effect that strengthens families, neighborhoods, and entire communities.• Why authentic leadership requires making difficult decisions, including scaling back in one area to strengthen another instead of trying to do everything.• The importance of civic engagement and Catherine's powerful reminder: "I don't care who you vote for—I need you to vote." Participation creates possibility, and hope begins when we choose to engage instead of giving up.If you've followed my journey, you know I believe Connection Is the Work™.This conversation is exactly why.Connection isn't a soft skill. It's how trust is built, leaders are developed, boards become stronger, organizations thrive, and communities move from conversation to action.It's also the heartbeat behind my bestselling collaborative book, Today is the Day. LIVE IT! – Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact, where 31 voices remind us that one decision, one connection, and one courageous action can change the trajectory of a life.As you listen, I invite you to reflect:Where have I been talking instead of acting?Am I preparing for the leader I hope to become?What action can I take today to create meaningful impact in my family, my organization, or my community?Because change doesn't begin when everyone agrees.It begins when someone decides to act.I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway in the comments.

The clock is ticking — and your nervous system knows it.Maybe there's a spouse waiting to see real revenue. A mortgage that won't wait. Or just the quiet weight of your own big dreams pressing on you. That pressure is real, and most wellness entrepreneurs respond to it in one of two ways: they overwork, or they freeze.In this episode, I share what actually changes everything when the financial pressure hits — and it's not another strategy, offer, or platform. It's your ability to feel the pressure without letting it run the show. We get into why "doing more" is usually the wrong move, the only three things you need to start making money, and why imperfect action will always beat perfect preparation.If you're a licensed practitioner — PT, yoga teacher, massage therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, health coach — trying to build income outside the treatment room while the bills keep coming, this one's for you.In this episode:Why feeling the pressure (instead of avoiding it) is the actual turning pointThe reason doing more is usually the wrong move when you're under financial stressThe only 3 things you need to start making money in your businessWhy imperfect action beats perfect preparation every timeHow to protect your mindset when the pressure is loudestWhy the discomfort is part of the process — and why it's worth itThis episode answers:What do I do when I'm under pressure to make money in my wellness business?Why does working harder make things worse when I'm stressed about revenue?How do I take action when I don't feel ready?Important Links:Follow me on Instagram →  igniteyourwellnessbusinessReady to work with me?

What happens when you've tried every diet, every protocol, every workout... and you're still not feeling like yourself?In this special episode of The Transformation Show, Janell sits down with somatic practitioner Meggie Martin for a conversation about the healing journey that transformed her health, relationships, and ultimately the work she does today.After years of chronic stress, digestive issues, emotional eating, burnout, and feeling disconnected from her body, Meggie discovered that the missing piece wasn't another nutrition plan—it was learning how to work with her nervous system instead of against it.Together, Janell and Meggie explore:• Why your body communicates through sensation• The connection between chronic stress and physical symptoms• How emotional eating often becomes a nervous system coping strategy• Why nervous system healing isn't just about calming down• Internal Family Systems (IFS) and understanding the different "parts" of ourselves• How healing transformed Meggie's marriage, parenting, and relationship with herself• Why awareness—not perfection—is often the beginning of lasting changeIf you've been following the recent episodes of The Transformation Show, this conversation beautifully expands on the themes of nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and learning to trust your body's signals.Ready to experience this work for yourself?Join Janell and Meggie for Regulate Her, a one-day immersive women's nervous system retreat focused on helping you reconnect with your body and create a foundation of safety for healing.Learn more:https://www.thetransformationlife.com/regulate-herIf this episode resonated with you, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that healing isn't about trying harder—it begins by feeling safe enough to listen.As always...Have Faith & Take Action.

A Public Lands Update + Ways to TAKE ACTION, with Adam Cramer

This is my second episode with Adam Cramer, CEO of the Outdoor Alliance, a coalition of ten national organizations representing the human-powered outdoor community—mountain biking, backcountry skiing, kayaking, climbing, trail running, and more. The Outdoor Alliance works to protect public lands and the places these communities love, getting deeply involved in conservation policy and empowering people to take action on behalf of the landscapes that matter to them. The last year has been a relentless one for public lands, with threats coming from every direction, and Adam and his team have been in the thick of it. Normally my episodes are "evergreen," but given everything happening right now, I wanted to bring Adam back to give us an update on the current threats—as well as some genuine bright spots. This is such a moving target with so many moving pieces that it can be really hard to keep up with everything and, most importantly, to know how to stop talking and take action. So I brought Adam in to help us make sense of it all and give us some instruction on how we can go on the offense to keep public lands public. We cover a lot of ground: the public lands sell-off that arose out of last summer's reconciliation bill and the massive, cross-partisan public blowback that killed it; the fight over the Roadless Rule; the rescinding of the BLM's Public Lands Rule; proposed changes to travel management and motorized vehicle rules; and the reorganization happening inside the land management agencies. But it's not all grim—Adam walks us through the real reasons for hope, including bipartisan efforts like the Public Lands in Public Hands Act, the EXPLORE Act, and the Legacy Restoration Fund, which is moving through Congress right now and is one of the most important places listeners can weigh in today. We also get into Adam's pragmatic, calm approach to all of this—why he refuses to be hysterical even when the stakes are high, what he's learned about strategy and compassion across the table, and how everyday people with jobs and families can stay informed and actually take action without drowning in the noise. He closes with some great book recommendations and a reminder to embrace and bask in the joy of place. And just for some context, we recorded this on June 22, 2026. I hope you enjoy it and learn as much as I did. And most importantly, I hope you'll TAKE ACTION! --- Adam Cramer Outdoor Alliance (Scroll down on the home page to sign up for their email list.)

If you've listened to the past several episodes, you may have noticed a common thread running through all of them:The nervous system.When Janell was struggling with hormone imbalances, burnout, and adrenal dysfunction, she was unknowingly supporting her nervous system through nourishment, yoga, blood sugar balance, and slowing down.When she was healing her gut, she discovered that true gut healing requires nervous system support.When she began studying mind-body medicine, she started understanding how symptoms are connected not only to physical health, but also to stress, emotional experiences, and a sense of safety.All of those experiences eventually led her to somatic healing.In this deeply personal episode, Janell shares the question that changed everything:"What makes you feel safe?"It's a question she realized she couldn't answer.Inside this conversation, you'll learn:• What nervous system healing actually means• Why safety and comfort are not the same thing• How survival can become your normal• Why many women struggle to stay connected to themselves• The role nervous system regulation plays in healing hormones, gut health, metabolism, and energy• What somatics is and how it helps you reconnect with your body• Why healing is about relationship, not self-fixing• How building capacity changes everythingThis episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just physical.It's emotional.It's neurological.It's energetic.It's relational.And sometimes the deepest healing begins when we stop asking, "How do I fix myself?" and start asking, "How do I build a relationship with myself?"Resources Mentioned:Somatic Reset Session:https://www.thetransformationlife.com/somatic-healing-session-specialHormone Clarity Quiz:https://www.thetransformationlife.com/hormonequizPrevious Episodes Mentioned:Knowing Your Nervous System (Part 1 & 2)As always, thank you for being here.Have Faith & Take Action.

Ace walks through four distinct phases of the ChatGPT economy, explains why most people are playing the wrong phase right now, and reveals the one mindset shift that separates parents who build real AI-powered income from those who keep chasing the next shiny tool. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to make money with AI, this episode gives you the honest, no-fluff answer.

It's knowing your market so well that you can make ChatGPT produce what your market is actually hungry for." "You need to be a businessperson first — a businessperson who just happens to use AI. Not an AI person trying to be a businessperson." "The actual scaling mechanism in an AI-powered business isn't the AI. It's information asymmetry." "The AI is invisible. The business is visible."
