Your repeating loops are not bad luck! In this episode, Kayla explores the reasons why individuals, particularly women, find themselves in repetitive cycles of unhealthy relationships, financial struggles, and self-doubt. She emphasizes that these patterns stem from subconscious beliefs and unhealed wounds, urging listeners to recognize their worth and break free from these cycles. The conversation highlights the importance of self-awareness, reprogramming beliefs, and embracing a mindset of abundance and love. Takeaways You attract what you believe you deserve. Your brain is a record of the past. Subconscious identity can be tied to struggle. Confusing love with lack leads to unhealthy relationships. Unprocessed shame can sabotage opportunities. Trusting safety in the new is crucial for growth. You are both the problem and the solution.

Larry Puckett is a world-renowned venture capitalist and entrepreneur who's grown businesses from humble beginnings to multi-million dollar companies in finance, technology, distribution, and now all-natural supplements. Despite starting with very little, Larry's career arc is one of persistence, reinvention, and finding repeatable success—especially when life (and business) go sideways. On this episode we talk about: Growing up with hardworking parents, learning about scarcity, and developing a relentless work ethic cutting lawns and hustling for every dollar Learning (by necessity) that hard work doesn't always equal good money—and why working harder for someone else isn't the long-term answer Early entrepreneurial setbacks: pouring money into a golf apparel company without building an audience, failing fast, and picking up critical lessons for the next time The first real business win: starting an industrial lighting company that grew by focusing on client relationships and solving a basic, boring problem better than competitors Missing the “obvious”—the lesson in seeing (or overlooking) the next big vertical when you're too close to your own business Making the leap (twice) from a steady, high-paying job to bet it all on a vision: burning the bridges, sacrificing luxuries, selling personal items, and even delivering groceries to keep the dream alive The challenge and opportunity of entrepreneurship at 50+—why it's never too late to dream bigger or set a new example for your kids (and grandkids) Evolving from MLM to corporate roles, then to launching Theon Global—a debt-free, e-commerce supplement brand that went profitable in its first three days entirely through organic, audience-first marketing Mistakes in business partnerships, trusting too fast, and learning that doing it yourself (with the right people) is often best The importance of a mission-driven business: helping people live healthier lives with all-natural, all-organic alternatives Top 3 Takeaways You're Never “Too Late”: Larry relaunched at age 50+—after big wins and major losses—proving age and circumstance are rarely the true barriers to entrepreneurship. Boring Businesses Can Bring Big Wins: Success doesn't require inventing the next “hot” thing; doing the basics better than anyone else is a winning formula. Risk is Required—But Stack the Deck: Burn the bridges if you must, but minimize regret by preparing financially, learning from every setback, and building around proven audiences. Notable Quotes “We just stopped cold turkey...but about nine months in, it went from a lot of money to nothing. That's when we decided: there's no going back. We're burning the bridge and selling everything.” “You only lose if you quit. And the regret of not doing it will always outweigh the risk of trying.” “Business is about fundamentals: solve real problems, build audiences, create something people need—then serve your customers and your team really, really well.” Connect with Larry Puckett: Website & Products: theonglobal.com

Send us a textWelcome to the Episode:In today's episode, we explore a question that's as old as the Church itself: Should I get married—or stay single? It's a question shaped by culture, personal longing, and spiritual calling. We turn to 1 Corinthians 7:1–7 to hear Paul's wise, pastoral, and often surprising counsel on marriage, celibacy, sex, and the spiritual gift of each.Whether you're married, single, widowed, or unsure of what's next—this conversation is for you. Let's challenge cultural assumptions, reframe singleness as a calling, and re-centre marriage as a covenant of mutual love and responsibility.Episode NotesKey Themes:Challenging Cultural Assumptions: Our world links happiness with romance—but Scripture has a different vision for human flourishing.Marriage and Celibacy as Gifts: Paul affirms both marriage and singleness as God-given callings—not commands or defaults.Intimacy and Responsibility in Marriage: Marital intimacy is a mutual, sacred duty—not a bargaining chip or personal right.Celibacy Is Not Second-Class: Singleness is not a failure or waiting room for marriage—it can be a vocation of focused devotion to the Lord.Spiritual Discernment: The real question isn't “Which is better?” but “What is God calling me to?” Takeaways:You are not incomplete if you are single.You are not more spiritual because you are married.Sexual intimacy in marriage is a sacred, mutual obligation—not a tool for control.Singleness is not a delay of purpose—it can be the purpose.The key question: Do you have the gift?Final ThoughtIn a world confused about identity, desire, and devotion, Paul's pastoral insight cuts through the noise: God's will for your life isn't about your relationship status—it's about your faithful response to His calling.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

In this special 200th episode of The Friday Habit, Mark and Ben reunite to celebrate a huge milestone—and to share some big news. After nearly six years as co-hosts, Ben is officially stepping away from the mic (don't worry, he'll still pop in from time to time). But before he goes, he's opening up about what it really took to build, systemize, and sell his business, Knapsack.From Bro Mountain retreats and podcast dreams to building a business that runs without you, Ben walks through his journey of creating a sellable company—from first hire to final handoff. Whether you're dreaming of an exit or just want more freedom in your business, this episode is packed with practical lessons, honest reflections, and the kind of wisdom only 200 episodes can deliver.

The burning question on every wannabe podcaster's mind: do I really need a podcast coach? Spoiler alert: no, you don't *have* to have one, and you could just jump in, flail around, and figure things out for yourself. But let's be real for a sec. Imagine setting off on a cross-country road trip without a GPS. Sure, you could just guess which way is west, but wouldn't it be easier to have a reliable map guiding you? That's what a coach can do for your podcasting journey. They help you dodge the potholes of bad equipment choices, terrible hosting services, and the dreaded burnout that comes from setting completely unrealistic goals. If you want to avoid looking like a podcasting rookie who doesn't know the difference between a media host and a media hoax, a coach can be your best friend. Even legends like Oprah and Michael Phelps have coaches. So, if you want to level up your podcast game and not just play in the kiddie pool, maybe consider getting a coach. But hey, if you want to go it alone, just know you'll be doing a lot of guessing along the way.Takeaways: You only need a coach if you want to avoid mistakes. Hiring a coach can save you from buying the wrong gear and using the wrong platforms. Just like GPS helps you avoid traffic, a podcast coach can guide you through common pitfalls. Even big names like Oprah and Bill Gates have coaches, so maybe there's something to it after all! A good coach helps refine your goals and keeps you accountable, which is pretty darn useful. Without a coach, you might just be wandering around like a lost puppy in the podcasting world. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

In this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I sit down with the one and only Vaibhav Nahata, a.k.a. “Happy” (www.speakervideos.com)—a joy-fueled video marketing pro, teen speaker, and TV show producer from Nepal who has turned discomfort into his superpower.Once the bullied kid at school, now a bold entrepreneur interviewing CEOs and inspiring youth around the world, Happy's story is a wild ride of risk, resilience, and saying “yes” even when you have no clue what you're doing. (Sound familiar?)We're talking about: 

Why do you keep starting things you don't finish? In this episode, Pastor TJ Tyus dives deep into The Law of Sustainment — a principle that reveals why we struggle to remain consistent. It's not just about discipline. It's about identity. If your self-image doesn't align with your goals, your efforts will always collapse. Pastor TJ shows how aligning your inner beliefs with your divine calling is the key to sustaining lasting change. He also shares vulnerable moments from his own life — from dealing with road rage to raising his kids — showing how becoming must happen in the dark before you can shine in the light. Takeaways: You can't build what you haven't become Your fruit is suffocating under unhealed roots Becoming like Christ starts with unlearning the lies Until you align with God's image of you, you'll fall short of your calling

What if the belonging you've been craving isn't about fitting in—but about showing up as yourself? In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friends and collaborators Tori and Shannon for an honest, laughter-filled conversation about Camp Is In Your Heart—a one-of-a-kind gathering designed to spark connection, creativity, and community for adults. We share stories from camp, behind-the-scenes details (including the handmade swag bags), and reflect on how meaningful spaces for growth and friendship have evolved over the years. Whether you're camp-curious, looking for deeper connections, or simply craving space to feel seen and supported, this conversation reminds you that camp isn't just a weekend—it's a feeling you carry with you.

In this episode, Joi Cuartero Austin is joined once again by Erik Reader for a lively and insightful conversation around the concept of Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper (LQC) — a placemaking approach that emphasizes small-scale, low-cost, and fast-to-implement strategies for revitalizing public spaces and neighborhood districts. Originally popularized by the nonprofit Project for Public Spaces in the early 2000s, LQC continues to shape how communities reimagine their built environments — even today. We dig into real-world examples, lessons learned, and how communities are using this flexible framework to create a stronger sense of place, community, ownership, and vitality. Topics Covered: What “Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper” means and where it came from How cities like Dallas, Richmond, Chicago, and Peoria are embracing DIY placemaking Examples of LQC success: from Better Block projects to guerrilla wayfinding Creative community engagement: pop-up shops, vacant lot activations, and DIY downtowns The power of “just trying something” and giving communities permission to act Metrics and outcomes: How small tests can lead to permanent change How LQC invites broader participation and fosters local pride What we'd personally love to try next in our own communities! Mentioned Projects and Ideas: Better Block Dallas – transforming a corridor with temporary interventions Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood – intersection redesign with chalk paint and bollards Walk Raleigh – unsanctioned wayfinding signs showing walk times to local spots Peoria “Ideas to Action” – pop-up engagement leading to funded community-led projects Parklets and outdoor seating – how losing a few parking spots can spark placemaking Takeaways: You don't need a million-dollar budget to make a meaningful impact. LQC gives communities permission to test ideas and rethink how they use space. Starting small can unlock new energy, increase public trust, and attract long-term investment. These quick wins can be a gateway to bigger, bolder revitalization strategies.

Have you ever wondered how you can have it all in your life and business? In this throwback episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm talking about focus as an entrepreneur and how I use metrics in my business to decide what to focus on next.  Listen to this episode to learn how you can use metrics to have it all and why you need to be focusing on one thing to get your best work.  Also mentioned in today's episode:  Why you should focus on one thing at a time 8:30 Why batching is so important 13:58 Repetition and how it can help you in business 19:36 The decision metric I use when deciding to take on a new project 39:40    Takeaways You can have it all, but you can't have it all at once.

234 - The Secret to Lasting Change: It's Not Willpower! In this episode, I talk about the real reasons we struggle with making progress on our goals — and how to fix it. Inspired by the powerful metaphors from “The Happiness Hypothesis” and “Switch,” I explore how the mind is like a rational Rider trying to steer an emotional Elephant along a winding Path. When we learn how to motivate our Elephant, direct our Rider, and clear the Path, meaningful change becomes not only possible but enjoyable. Understanding the Rider and ElephantWe often think our failure to follow through is due to laziness, but it's more about a conflict between emotion and logic. I explain how the Elephant (our emotions) tends to resist change while the Rider (our planner) gets stuck in overthinking. Motivating the Emotional SideFear doesn't move the Elephant — hope and small wins do. I share how reframing goals and celebrating tiny milestones can energize you to keep going. It's about making the process exciting and worthwhile. Giving the Rider DirectionToo many options lead to paralysis. I talk about choice architecture — creating pre-decisions that make action simpler, like scheduled workouts or limited food choices. When the Rider has a clear map, it stops stalling. Making the Path EasyWe need an environment that supports our goals. That means setting out gym clothes, automating finances, or prepping for quick getaways. These routines eliminate friction and help us act automatically. Visualizing the FutureOne of my favorite tools: the “postcard from the future.” I use AI to generate vivid images of my goals realized, which I keep visible in my space. They remind me why I'm doing the hard things. Rallying the HerdSupport is crucial. If friends and family aren't on board, online groups can be life-changing. When we surround ourselves with others chasing similar goals, their momentum lifts us up too. Takeaways:You don't need more discipline. You need a better system — one that motivates your emotions, guides your plans, and clears your path. Every step forward starts with understanding how your mind works and building an environment that makes change easier. It's not about giant leaps. It's about small, consistent wins that make you feel capable and confident. Keep your eye on the vision, celebrate each win, and know that you've got this. https://startwithsmallsteps.com/234-the-secret-to-lasting-change-its-not-willpower/ Jill's Links https://abetterlifeinsmallsteps.com https://affiliate.notion.so/NorthwoodsJillday https://affiliate.notion.so/NorthwoodsAI https://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallsteps https://www.buymeacoffee.com/smallstepspod https://twitter.com/schmern Email the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.com

I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I talk about something I think we've gotten backwards in the restaurant industry — loyalty. Too many of us are trying to buy it with discounts and deals. But real loyalty? That comes from connection. I dig into how to move beyond the transactional and start creating experiences that actually mean something to your guests. It's about storytelling. It's about generosity. It's about making people feel like they matter. When you build that kind of emotional connection, you don't need to bribe people to come back — they come back because they want to. And better yet, they tell their friends. If you're looking to turn one-time visitors into lifelong fans, this episode is for you.Takeaways:You can run a successful restaurant without running a successful restaurant business.Most restaurant owners have great food but lack business acumen.Discounts do not drive loyalty; they create transactional relationships.Guests return for the experience, not for discounts.Creating a sense of belonging is key to guest loyalty.Generosity should be intentional and targeted, not random.Memorable experiences lead to word-of-mouth marketing.Identify high-value guest moments for targeted gestures of generosity.Document and share guest stories to enhance marketing efforts.True loyalty is built on experiences, not freebies.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Profitability02:03 The Power of Genuine Connection Over Discounts05:51 Creating Memorable Guest ExperiencesIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

What if the pain you've been told to ignore… was actually coming from your hips, your spine—or your immune system? In this deep-dive episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Dr. Andrew Goldstein, an expert in sexual pain disorders, to unravel the misunderstood causes of vulvar and pelvic pain in people with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) , and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Dr. Goldstein reveals why the traditional diagnosis of “vulvodynia” might be missing the real problem, and how factors like labral tears, pudendal nerve compression, Tarlov cysts, pelvic organ prolapse, endometriosis, nerve proliferation, and mast cell disorders can all converge into debilitating pain—and be completely overlooked. He explains why pelvic floor physical therapy sometimes fails, when Botox is a game-changer, and how stigma and misinformation continue to prevent EDS patients from receiving proper care. If you've ever been told "it's all in your head"—this episode proves it's not. And it might be the roadmap you've been searching for. Takeaways: You might not feel hip pain at all—but your clitoris, rectum, or vulva will. A cyst that's left off your MRI report could be ruining your life. That pain during intimacy? It could be nerve sprouting—and it's not your fault. When physical therapy fails, it may not be the therapy's fault. He's performed 1,300+ surgeries. Here's how he decides if you really need one.

What if showing up could feel like devotion instead of dread? In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to “put yourself out there”—whether that's sharing your message online, promoting your work, or simply being seen in a new season of life. Drawing from decades behind the lens as a commercial photographer (and plenty of awkward moments in front of it, too), I'm sharing honest stories, practical tools, and soulful encouragement for anyone ready to be visible in a more grounded, aligned way. Whether you're a coach, creator, leader, or changemaker stepping into something new, this conversation will leave you feeling supported, equipped, and reminded that confidence is something we build, not something we wait for.

In this episode, Ashley Monk discusses the paradox of outsourcing growth in marketing. She emphasizes that while agencies can assist in achieving growth, the core belief, ownership, and transformation must come from within the organization. The conversation explores the importance of clear expectations, the role of belief in driving growth, and the distinction between renting tactics and achieving true transformation. Ashley provides actionable strategies for organizations to effectively partner with agencies while maintaining ownership of their growth outcomes.   Takeaways You can't fully outsource growth; it requires internal belief. Partnerships thrive on clear expectations and outcomes. Belief in a vision is crucial for growth. Outsourcing ownership can lead to relinquishing outcomes. Tactics can be rented, but transformation is unique to the organization. Growth requires time, consistency, and monitoring. Understanding the 'why' behind growth goals is essential. Sharing outcomes with partners fosters collaboration. Creating reasonable expectations is key to successful partnerships. Growth is a journey that involves course correction and alignment.

In this special episode, we're joined by Brett Haynes, the Head of Marketing at Door to Door Experts, for an inside look at the company and what it really takes to succeed in the door-to-door industry. With over five years in the company and over a decade in sales, Brett shares his unique perspective on what's been missing in the industry—and how Door to Door Experts is stepping up to fill the gap.You'll hear how the company is changing the game with D2DU 2.0, a revamped training system designed to give reps not just surface-level tactics but deep, step-by-step frameworks, mindsets, and techniques to truly master the craft. Brett explains how certification through D2DU isn't just about learning sales skills—it's about developing integrity and professionalism that can open doors (literally) across industries.

In this episode of the Unbuttoned podcast, Elizabeth and Lauren explore the different versions of themselves throughout various life stages, discussing their teenage years, early adulthood, and the wisdom gained in their 30s. They reflect on the pressures of societal expectations, personal growth, and the importance of embracing change as they navigate motherhood and their evolving identities. The conversation emphasizes the significance of self-reflection and looking forward to future aspirations.   Takeaways: You should be evolving based on life experiences. Teenage relationships teach valuable lessons about red flags. The pressure to have everything figured out in your 20s is overwhelming. Motherhood brings a new perspective and wisdom. Your 30s can be empowering and filled with personal growth. Stay Connected:  Instagram Tiktok Coco The Shop  

In this conversation, Michael Easley, Tim Harlow, and Mike Glenn open up about one of the ministry's most uncomfortable topics: money. They share the emotional, spiritual, and practical tensions behind capital campaigns and asking congregations to give—again. From exhaustion over repeated “once-in-a-lifetime” asks to the deeper realization that stewardship is a spiritual issue, not a financial one, the pastors don't shy away from the awkwardness. They address the idol of money that silently enslaves so many and reflect on Jesus' boldness in confronting it. They share numerous personal stories—from a woman doubling her giving in faith, to anonymous donors experiencing joy, to the freeing power of debt-free living. The pastors agree: the dread of fundraising can cloud the greater truth that generosity is transformative, both for the giver and the church. Stewardship isn't about guilt—it's about discipleship and spiritual maturity. Takeaways: -You're not giving God 10%—you're managing 100% of what's already His. -If you're uncomfortable talking about money in ministry, you're likely confronting your own idol. -Generosity is not about guilt—it's about freedom, joy, and trust in God's provision. -The spiritual battle over money is real—Jesus talked more about that than heaven or hell. -When stewardship is taught consistently, fundraising becomes a celebration, not a burden. -Faithful givers don't complain—they rejoice in what God is doing through their sacrifice.

What if healing starts by simply telling the truth? In this powerful and deeply human episode, I sit down with John Gardner—former professional skateboarder and founder of Nothing But Today—for a raw, real conversation about mental health, mindfulness, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.

From there, we dive into what it's like to live with suicidal ideation, how skateboarding became a gateway to presence, and why creating safe spaces—especially for men and creatives—is more urgent than ever. Whether you're struggling quietly, supporting someone who is, or simply want to show up as a more grounded, compassionate human, this conversation will leave you with hope, perspective, and tools to move forward—one mindful moment at a time.

In this deeply personal and illuminating solo episode, Kat continues exploring the victim–perpetrator–savior triangle—this time through the lens of the rescuer. What happens when our instinct to protect and fix becomes another loop keeping us—and others—stuck? Using a real-life experience from Mother's Day, Kat shares the powerful moment she recognized her own impulse to rescue her son and how it revealed a deeper spiritual invitation: to become the field itself, rather than the actor within the story. From reparenting and presence to energetic sovereignty and exiting outdated paradigms, this episode is a masterclass in how to stop reinforcing loops of drama, and instead co-create a reality rooted in frequency, alignment, and pure creative force. What is discussed: ✨ How the rescuer/savior role hides behind righteousness and protection ✨ Realizing the emotional charge when “saving” your child or loved one ✨ Why motherhood is a sacred spiral for awakening deeper self-awareness ✨ How to stop seeing others as victims—even your own children ✨ Becoming the frequency holder instead of reacting from fear or control ✨ Transitioning from outdated systems into conscious field creation ✨ The unraveling of old feminine codes and the rise of the sovereign solar feminine Takeaways: — You are not here to rescue. You are here to radiate. — The rescuer still plays within the triangle and needs a victim to exist. — We free ourselves not by resisting the old, but by embodying a new frequency. — The shift from acting to being the field is how reality rearranges itself.

Normally, I try to stay positive and encouraging. Maybe I still am, as I encourage you not to fall for these Podcast Tools (often based on AI) that promise great success and wealth without doing any work. Here are some of the things this company (who will remain nameless) promised:A chart-topping podcast in minutesYou don't even need a microphone (think about that)Just let AI clone your voice, make an AI video version of you, and make six figures.Podcasting is expensive (it's not -you can get started for $80)Instant money from advertising (when big sponsors need 10-20,000 downloads per episode)It quotes successful podcasts that aren't using their system (and sell their own products, not advertising).Takeaways: You don't monetize a podcast - you monetize an audience. If it were this easy, everyone would do it - and all podcasts would be the same. Many podcasting scams prey on the uneducated, making it sound easy to succeed. Building a podcast audience takes time, typically around three years, so be patient. Don't fall for the hype that you can create a podcast in minutes without effort. You can't skip the hard work of podcasting and expect to succeed; it requires consistency in schedule and consistency in quality content.
