Episode Summary In episode 325 of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the realities facing business owners, coaches, parents, and young entrepreneurs today. The hosts tackle trending topics—like the proposed $1,000 investment for newborns, excessive phone use, and the evolving American Dream—while weaving in actionable mindset and business strategies sure to benefit ambitious coaches and their clients. The conversation is raw, insightful, and packed with real-world examples on how to thrive in uncertainty, guide kids toward success, and manage the inevitable anxiety that comes with ambition. Trump's $1,000 S&P Investment Proposal for Newborns Rode Dog asks about Donald Trump's idea of gifting $1,000 to babies born after July 4th to be invested in the S&P 500. Karl Bryan discusses the pros, potential loopholes, and the importance of teaching kids about investing early. Excessive Phone Use and Its Impact Deep dive into why entrepreneurs and their clients are sucked into their phones, driven by cortisol (stress hormone) rather than dopamine. Karl Bryan offers tactics and fresh insights for business owners to control digital addiction—both for themselves and their kids. Guiding Young Entrepreneurs & Kids Amid a Shifting American Dream The hosts address the growing difficulty for young people to buy homes, launch businesses, and build wealth. Karl Bryan shares candid guidance on how to coach young clients and kids to thrive despite economic headwinds, focusing on building temperament rather than seeking an easy life. Anxiety as the Price of Ambition Rode Dog pushes Karl Bryan to expand on last week's comment about "anxiety being the price of ambition." The discussion explores practical ways to manage pressure and use it as fuel, rather than letting it become a hurdle. Compounding Success in Business and Life Why slow, steady progress trumps quick wins or constant movement. Karl Bryan lays out specific strategies for compounding business results via relentless fundamentals and clear client accountability. Notable Quotes "The end of the day, teaching children to invest and the mechanism to do so is amazing on the surface in my opinion." — Karl Bryan "Comparison is the thief of joy. And that phone you're holding right now is a comparison machine." — Karl Bryan "You're not looking to optimize for happiness. You're looking to optimize for peace." — Karl Bryan "If you've got a high tolerance for uncomfortable situations, I think you're leading yourself towards a big life... Not drive for an easy life, drive to allow nothing to faze you." — Karl Bryan "Anxiety is the price of ambition. Write that one down if you're ambitious. So be gentle with yourself. Be gentle." — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Coach Phone Use with Clients Encourage clients to track their screen time, ease off gradually instead of quitting cold turkey, and use fundamental well-being tactics (exercise, sleep, sunlight, hydration) to curb addiction. Teach Ownership & Asset-Building Guide young people and business owners to continually invest in real estate, stocks, and businesses; dollar cost average and automate investments to build true wealth. Embrace Struggle and Uncomfortable Situations Frame discomfort as a catalyst for growth—for clients and your own kids. Temperament beats brilliance. Focus on Fundamentals Over Excitement Dig into the boring, profit-rich niches (plumbers, landscapers, logistics, car wash businesses), and master essential business fundamentals: upsell, down-sell, cross-sell, proper onboarding, and cost control. Structure Accountability and Connection Track real-life social interaction, structure onboarding with clear values, and hold clients to high accountability for long-term results. Turn Pressure into Privilege Remind clients and yourself that pressure is a privilege—use it to fuel achievement, not to trigger burnout.

Is your communication style a red flag?
Not gonna lie, I decided to get this one as it seemed rambling. I very (very!) rarely edit anything as I want everything to be au naturale (that's French for normal). But I edited this, and now it sounds like I drank 4 espressos before talking. Sorry. Essentially.
Christina Monson spent decades studying with the meditation master Chatral Rinpoche in the mountains of Nepal and translating and practicing the teachings of Sera Khandro. But it was facing stage four cancer that revealed whether decades of practice could meet the greatest pain with the greatest teaching.

Wenn Temperament ein Mensch wäre - er hieße Elena Uhlig, wäre im Juli 1975 zur Welt gekommen und inzwischen Mutter vieler Kinder. Diese eher ungenaue Mengenangabe geht auf den Umstand zurück, dass die Schauspielerin mit Herrn Fritz Karl, ebenfalls Schauspieler, liiert ist, der nun seinerseits schon ein paar Kinder in die Ehe brachte, wie es so schön heißt. Also: Beide haben sie Temperament und Humor, die Kinder sicherlich ebenso, einen Hund gibt es noch und viele Betätigungsfelder, denn - auch hier möchte ich noch mal den Plural bemühen: Frau Uhlig und Herr Karl nutzten die Corona-Jahre, um sich in den Sozialen Medien ein weiteres Standbein zu sichern, mit Unterhaltung und Sketchen, Elena wirkt zudem als Influencerin mit fast einer halben Mio Followerinnen und Followern. In Toast Hawaii sprechen wir - oh Gott, wir donnern durch die Themen - über Gurkensalat, Brustvergrößerungen und Bowls (Elena hasst sie), „Mit Butter lacht das Leben“ fällt mir ein, Nudeln natürlich, Eismaschinen und die Frage, warum es für viele von uns so wahnsinnig schwierig ist, Frieden mit dem eigenen Körper zu schließen. Los geht's. *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt. Ganz nach dem Motto „Natürlich lecker erleben“ bietet dmBio mit mehr als 550 Produkten eine vielfältige Auswahl – von leckeren Snacks für zwischendurch bis hin zu original italienischen Tomatensaucen.

Das Leben der Frau, an die ich heute denke, ist in drei knappen Zahlen einzugrenzen: 4, 14 und 24. Wie das? Mit vier Jahren wird Elisabeth, die ungarische Königstochter, mit vielen Geschenken und Amme und Gespielinnen nach Eisenach auf die Wartburg gebracht; nicht zu ihrem Vergnügen, sondern aus staatspolitischen Gründen. Sie soll den Sohn des damals sehr mächtigen thüringischen Landesfürsten der Ludowinger heiraten und so die Macht beider Seiten stärken und ausweiten. Der ihr zugedachte Herrmann stirbt aber und so heiratet sie mit gerade einmal 14 Jahren den jüngeren Sohn Ludwig. Es ist eine Verbindung, die damals sehr ungewöhnlich war, denn beide waren zusammen aufgewachsen und liebten sich aus ganzem Herzen.Die Verhältnisse auf der Burg, das ausschweifende Leben der Burggrafen und Ihres Gefolges und die Armut der Leibeigenen unterhalb der Burg in Eisenach und den umliegenden Weilern hat die junge Elisabeth schon immer zum Nachdenken gebracht und ihren Zorn erregt und ihre Hilfsbereitschaft. So bringt sie Brot und andere Lebensmittel nach unten zu den Bedürftigen und ihr Ludwig versteht sie und billigt ihr Handeln. Sie bekommt drei Kinder und könnte glücklich sein. Aber ihr geliebter Gatte stirbt auf der Reise zum Kreuzzug und ihr ist sehr schnell bewusst, was das bedeutet. Die restliche Verwandtschaft, denen Elisabeths Handeln und ihre Großzügigkeit schon immer ein Dorn im Auge war, lässt ihr keinen Raum zum Leben.So gibt sie ihre Kinder in Pflege und Obhut, geht nach Marburg auf ihr Witwengut und gründet ein Hospital für die Armen und Kranken. All ihr verbliebenes Geld geht dabei drauf und ihre Lebenskraft. Und so stirbt sie mit gerade einmal 24 Jahren. Zwischen diesen Zahlen 4, 14 und 24 liegen gerade einmal 20 Jahre mit einer Fülle an Leben, Liebe, Temperament, Glaube, Mutterglück, Tragik, Trauer und Engagement für die Mitmenschen. Normalerweise würden wir jetzt reagieren und denken: Oh Gott, wie furchtbar. Aber sie sieht es anders. Sie wird knapp am Ende ihres Lebens zu ihren treuen Gefährtinnen sagen: "Seht, ich habe es euch immer gesagt: Wir müssen die Menschen froh machen."
In this episode, we chat with Jacquie Ward - psychologist, author and mum to three. Jacquie speaks about temperament in our kids, with a focus on supporting highly sensitive kids (and highly sensitive parents!).

In this week's episode, I speak with Professor Michael Pluess, renowned temperament researcher, to explore what it really means to have a "sensitive" child. We break down the science behind sensitivity as a key part of temperament, why some kids are more reactive to both positive and negative experiences, and how parenting can shape their outcomes. We discuss the genetic and environmental roots of sensitivity, common misunderstandings around the trait, and what parents can do to support emotional regulation.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Dominic Ceci, chief investment officer at Johnson Financial Group, says "people are only going to pay so much for this market," which means that something besides price will have to attract continued investment. That source will be earnings, as Ceci says that strong earnings growth has powered the market this year and will carry it for as long as they stay strong. Ceci says the economy and market will get a boost moving forward from tax policies, the rate-cutting cycle, continued AI capital spending and more, which is keeping the risk of recession low for the next year. Wayne Park, chief executive officer at Manulife John Hancock Retirement, discusses the firm's inaugural Longevity Preparedness Index (done in conjunction with MIT AgeLab), a new benchmark for measuring the readiness of American consumers to live well in older age. The measure looks beyond finances, which is why higher incomes don't improve some overall scores for issues like personal care. In all, the index found that Americans are largely underprepared for living out their retirement, landing a D grade with an average score of 60. Plus, Ardal Loh-Gronager of Loh-Gronager Partners returns to the show after last week's appearance in the Market Call to discuss his recent book, "The Perceptive Investor: The Art, Science and Temperament of Successful Value Investing."

Bryan Whalen, chief investment officer and head of fixed income at TCW says he's now putting the odds of a recession at 60 percent, down from 80 percent at the start of the year, but he suggests that even in a no-landing scenario, investors can expect dramatically higher volatility as stock and bond markets head into 2026. Whalen pointed out that with rate cuts starting to take hold, investors may want to keep some powder dry for the opportunities he sees ahead as the market responds to how the Fed plays out the cycle. In the Market Call, Ardal Loh-Gronager, founder of Loh-Gronager Partners — the author of "The Perceptive Investor: The Art, Science and Temperament of Successful Value Investing" — discusses his take on value investing, which is a mix of classic Warren Buffett style with a bit more trading and a broad industry-based focus as a starting point. Plus, as investors deal with the latest interest-rate cuts, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, picks an actively managed municipal bond fund as his "ETF of the Week."

Episode Summary On episode 318 of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the realities of building a thriving coaching business, from mindset and strategy to the nuts-and-bolts of profit growth. Karl discusses why listening to seasoned, successful entrepreneurs (“old and rich”) is the ultimate shortcut, warns against the flashy social media gurus, and offers step-by-step frameworks for helping clients boost their profits—even with simple tweaks like raising prices or launching new services. This episode is packed with actionable ideas for coaches working with local businesses and offers critical advice for coaches struggling to transition from previous careers. Key Topics Covered Choosing Who to Listen To: “Old and Rich” vs. the New Gurus Karl argues most social media and “guru” advice is flashy but hollow, highlighting why the wisdom of long-term, successful entrepreneurs like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is far more valuable. He points out the pitfalls of following voices that are motivational but unproven, and underscores the importance of critical thinking in selecting mentors and sources. Mindset, Psychology, and Temperament for Struggling Coaches Rode Dog and Karl address coaches transitioning from successful careers who find themselves struggling—they explore mental gymnastics, the power of building a bigger/brighter future, managing psychology, and the necessity of consistent forward progress over time. Business Model Fundamentals: Profit, Pricing, and Retention The hosts unpack principles from Karl's operating system, like the impact of raising prices incrementally, controlling costs, and focusing relentlessly on profit rather than just revenues. They debunk the myth that scale equals success, spotlighting profit as the real domino for business stability. Additional Products and Services—Real-World Examples Karl walks through detailed examples—bakery, butcher, landscaping business, hair salon, gym—showing coaches how to help clients add offerings to increase repeat business and margins, using McDonald's cross-selling (“Do you want fries with that?”) as a gold standard. Ideas range from day-old bread and foam rollers to personal training upsells, maintenance plans, and branded merchandise. Client Feedback and Creativity Rode Dog highlights the importance of simply asking customers what they want as a source for new ideas. They discuss why business owners miss these opportunities and how tapping into actual client preferences unlocks profitable new offerings. Compounding Progress and the Boring Path to Wealth Karl returns to the principle that consistent, incremental improvement (1% per day) compounds into massive long-term success. Temperament, discipline, and sticking to fundamentals—rather than chasing the next shiny object—lead to sustainable wealth and client impact. Notable Quotes “You want to listen to people who've been through the dot-com bubble, the 2008 crash, Covid… still standing. These are the autobiographies you want to be reading.” – Karl Bryan “Old and rich, very, very rare. These are the types of people to be listening to… using your critical thinking skills.” – Karl Bryan “The secret to having a better now is having a bigger, brighter future.” – Karl Bryan “Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” – Karl Bryan “You don't have a client or money problem, you have a refusal to help people before they pay you problem.” – Karl Bryan “Success in business is incredibly boring… It's the fundamentals. Consistency and discipline over amazing skill and talent.” – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways 1. Seek Wisdom, Not Hype: Follow and learn from seasoned, long-term entrepreneurs—not trendy social media personalities. 2. Build Your Psychology and Temperament: Focus on mindset; resilience and a future-oriented frame are critical for coaches struggling after prior successes. 3. Use Operating Systems and Compounding Returns: Adopt systems that drive incremental improvements (across pricing, cost control, product/service expansion) for clients—1% daily progress compounds powerfully over a year. 4. Help Clients Add or Upsell Products/Services: Leverage simple cross-sells, bundles, and maintenance/upgrades as repeat business and margin boosters. 5. Ask Clients for Feedback: Encourage your clients to solicit ideas directly from their customers—sometimes the most profitable additions are hiding in plain sight. 6. Remember: Progress Equals Happiness: Keep your clients (and yourself) moving forward consistently, celebrating incremental wins and compounding growth.

What if your face is the interface between body, mind, and fate?PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go! 00:06:30 Historical Context of Physiognomy 00:12:00 Intuition vs. Appearance 00:18:30 Societal Implications of Judgment 00:25:00 Genetics and Personal Destiny 00:28:48 The Complexity of Morality and Background 00:33:44 Physiognomy: Historical Perspectives 00:40:09 Applications of Physiognomy in Society 00:45:25 The Possibility of Change Through Personal Development 00:52:37 Exploring the Connection Between Physiology and Emotional States 00:55:01 The Influence of Facial Structure on Personality and Perception 00:58:17 Body and Soul: The Interconnection in Human Experience 01:04:01 Medical Studies on Consciousness and Identity 01:07:46 Physiognomy: The Science of Faces and Personality Indicators 01:12:57 Understanding Autism and Its Neural Connections 01:18:43 Physical Characteristics and Mental Health Correlation 01:19:50 The Impact of Psychedelics on Personal Transformation 01:20:55 Analyzing Physiognomy and Temperament 01:27:45 The Relationship Between Face Shape and Persona 01:32:50 Physiognomy and Character Analysis 01:35:05 Physiognomic Traits and Biblical References 01:39:30 Eyebrow Shapes and Decision-Making 01:41:37 Facial Hair and Subconscious Impulses 01:45:05 Lips and Communication Styles 01:49:35 Deep-Set Eyes and Independent Personality 01:52:37 Body Image and Self-Perception 01:56:00 Body and Soul Connection 02:02:00 Societal Collapse and Cultural Observations 02:09:00 Pre-Collapse Society Dynamics 02:11:48 Exploring Nebulas and Social Capital 02:16:29 Personal Responsibility in Society 02:20:45 Generational Theory and Historical Cycles 02:28:05 Millennial Attributes and Social Responsibility 02:30:50 Gen Z's Nihilism and Institutional Responsibility 02:37:00 The Call for Institutional Reform in Education 02:41:00 Courage and the Role of Individuals in Institutional Rebuilding 02:47:00 The Importance of Physical Presence and Connection 02:51:19 Self-Image and Personal Identity#physiognomy, #personality , #mindandbody , #bodylanguage , #psychologytips , #ancientscience , #intuitivereading #selfunderstanding, #humannature, #mindbodyconnection , #humanpotential #philosophypodcast , #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcastMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Today's episode brings you interesting insights into the connection between sleep and temperament. We dig into the science and psychology behind why it is harder for some babies to settle into sleep—and the connection to their overall temperament. Join us to learn more about this fascinating topic. Macall Gordon is a researcher, speaker, and author specializing in the link between temperament and sleep, especially as it relates to sleep training advice. Her master's degree in applied psychology is from Antioch University, and her B.S. degree in human biology is from Stanford. She is a certified Gentle Sleep Coach and has worked with thousands of parents of alert, sensitive, intense children. Issues with her own two children and feeling that she hadn't slept for 18 years have influenced her focus on this work. Her book is Why Won't You Sleep?! A Game-Changing Approach for Exhausted Parents of Nonstop, Super Alert, Big Feeling Kids. Show Highlights: Temperament: When does this form in a baby? Managing expectations without blaming yourself Why some babies don't sleep well Myths about training newborns Regulation in relationships just makes sense. Self-soothing: Are babies capable of soothing themselves? At what age? Understanding “differential susceptibility”: Mellow babies vs. sensitive babies Parent blame and unnecessary stress because of sleep issues Temperament mismatch between parents and children Macall's advice to parents who are struggling right now: Start moving/shifting, and realize that kids usually need more sleep than they indicate.

We dive into the science of temperament—how it develops in early childhood, how it shapes the way kids experience the world, and what it means for parenting. We cover the biological basis of temperament, the difference between shyness and social anxiety, and how parents can support children's unique traits without trying to “fix” them.

What's one small or overlooked thing in your life (a tool, a part, a feature) that makes a big difference when it works — but everything stops when it doesn't? S – Scripture Exodus 4:1–5 Romans 12:3–8 O – Observation In Exodus 4, why do you think God focused His conversation with Moses' calling by asking, “What is that in your hand?” How does the ordinary staff in Moses' hand become significant in God's plan? In Romans 12, why does Paul begin the discussion of spiritual gifts with a warning about pride and comparison? How does Paul's description of the body of Christ help us value both visible and hidden roles? What connection do you see between Moses' staff and the spiritual gifts Paul describes in Romans 12? A – Application Which of the S.T.A.F.F. elements (Spiritual gifts, Temperament, Abilities, Focus, Formation) do you clearly see in your life right now? What spiritual gifts have you identified in yourself so far? How did you discover them? How have you seen God use your spiritual gifts to impact others in big or small ways? What's one way you can “fan into flame” (2 Timothy 1:6) the gift God has given you this week? P – Prayer Thank God for the unique gifts He has placed in you. Ask Him to open your eyes to see the gifts he has placed in your hands.. Pray for the courage and faith to step into situations where your gifts can bless others.
If you've ever felt like your quiet time is a bit of a snooze fest or wondered why traditional methods of spirituality don't quite resonate, you're definitely not alone! In this final episode of our 3-part series with Cheryl Weaver, we'll talk about how embracing our individual “spiritual personalities” (aka temperaments) can lead to a more vibrant, authentic faith experience. Cheryl shares her journey of discovering her own spiritual style and the freedom that comes from recognizing that there isn't just one “right” way to connect with God.Episode HighlightsHow spiritual temperaments can transform our relationship with God, making it more personal and authentic.Understanding your unique spiritual temperament is key to connecting with God in ways that resonate with you.Diverse ways of worshiping God should be celebrated, not shamed or compared.Practical tools and encouragement to help listeners explore their distinct paths to spiritual fulfillment.The importance of body awareness in spiritual practices, linking physical experiences with divine connection.Resources MentionedSacred Pathways: Nine Ways to Connect with God by Gary ThomasWhat's Your God Language?: Connecting with God through Your Unique Spiritual Temperament by Myra PerrineCedar Rock Ministries Related Episodes / You Might Also LikeEP 25 - Enneagram Basics & ResourcesEP 38 - Embracing Authenticity: How's All That Working for Ya?EP 45 - Finding Your Natural Prayer Style with Janet McHenryEP 47 - How to Study the Bible with Liz CoboEP 66 - Faith-Based Body Awareness for Overwhelmed Women with Cheryl Weaver EP 67 - Spiritual Direction 101: How to Tune In and Trust God's Lead with Cheryl WeaverConnect with CherylEmail: Cheryl@CedarRockMinistries.comConnect with RachelWebsite: racheldbaker.comInstagram: @rachel.d.baker Email: rachel@racheldbaker.comIt means so much to me that you are part of this community!

When everything seems to go wrong, how do you respond? In this episode, Stephen Davey examines Genesis 42:29 through 43:34, where the focus shifts from Joseph to his aging father, Jacob. Joseph's brothers return from Egypt, food is running out, and Jacob must decide whether to send Benjamin—the son he loves most—into the unknown. His responses are all too familiar: fear, manipulation, denial, and despair. Stephen outlines what he calls “The Jacob Temperament”—a pattern of wrong conclusions, self-pity, and refusal to trust God's plan. Jacob believes everything is against him, but the truth is exactly the opposite: God is orchestrating a reunion, provision, and future blessing. You'll also see how Joseph continues testing his brothers—not to be cruel, but to awaken humility, honesty, and healing. Through these family tensions, God is shaping hearts and preparing them for reconciliation. This message invites you to examine how you respond to suffering and disappointment. Do you try to manipulate outcomes? Do you replay your troubles on a loop? Or are you learning to say, like Jacob finally did, “If I am bereaved, I am bereaved”—an honest surrender to God's care? Whether you're stuck in the past or fearing the future, this episode will help you recognize God's goodness—even when life feels uncertain.

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22As we wrap up our series on the temperaments and how they impact our financial decisions, we're turning the tables a bit. Today, Kathleen Edelman—who's been our guide through this journey—is taking the host seat to interview Rob West about the Yellow temperament.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.What Is the Yellow Temperament?The yellow temperament, known as sanguine, is characterized by high energy, optimism, and a deep desire for connection. Yellows are extroverted and people-oriented, speaking the language of fun and relationships. They often bring joy, inspiration, and laughter into every environment they enter. However, they also face challenges, particularly in areas such as focus, follow-through, and impulse control.Historically rooted in the work of Hippocrates, the four temperaments offer a timeless framework for understanding how people are wired to think, speak, and listen. The yellow temperament is one of four:Red (Choleric): Task-oriented extroverts, driven by power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Task-oriented introverts, focused on perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): People-oriented introverts, seeking calm and harmony.Yellow (Sanguine): People-oriented extroverts, motivated by fun and connection.How Yellows Communicate and RelateYellows are often described as the life of the party—fun, inspiring, and full of energy. They thrive on being liked, included, and appreciated. They tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and use charm, humor, and emotional connection to relate to others.Their innate needs include:Approval – being accepted for who they are.Acceptance – feeling included and invited.Attention – being given full focus and eye contact.Affection – being acknowledged and appreciated.When these needs are met, yellows radiate joy and creativity. But when unmet, they may seek attention in unhealthy ways or rely on charm to mask insecurity. Understanding these tendencies can help others relate to yellows with empathy and intention—and help yellows themselves pursue healthy, life-giving connections.Financial Habits of the Yellow TemperamentWhen it comes to money, yellows tend to view finances through the lens of spontaneity and enjoyment. They view money as a means to create experiences, give generously, and make memories with others. However, their optimism and impulsiveness can lead to overspending or a lack of strategic planning.Some common financial tendencies of yellows include:Generosity is driven by emotion rather than strategy.Difficulty sticking to strict budgets or long-term plans.A tendency to avoid hard money conversations, especially if there's potential for conflict or disapproval.Using money to strengthen relationships and bring joy.To thrive financially, yellows benefit from tools that provide structure without feeling restrictive, such as flexible budgeting systems, automated savings, or labeled cash envelopes tied to experiences (e.g., “Dinner with Friends”). Framing financial stewardship in terms of purpose, joy, and relational impact helps them stay engaged and motivated.Communication and StewardshipIn conversations—especially around finances—yellows respond best to positive framing and shared vision. They may avoid spreadsheets or conflict, but they are quick to dream, encourage, and cast vision. When invited into planning that includes moments of celebration or generosity, they are more likely to stay committed.In leadership or ministry settings, yellows often bring energy and hope to conversations. They are natural encouragers and communicators, able to uplift others with genuine warmth and presence. However, they may need accountability partners or systems to help with follow-through and details.Understanding their own temperament also enables yellows to listen more intentionally. With tools like Edelman's workbook, they can better identify the temperaments of others and respond in ways that build connection and clarity, both at work and at home.The yellow temperament is a vibrant and life-giving expression of God's creative design. While yellows may struggle with structure and impulse, they bring essential gifts of joy, vision, and generosity. With the right tools and a deeper self-awareness, they can become faithful stewards who reflect the heart of Christ, not just in their relationships, but also in how they give, plan, and lead.For a deeper dive into all four temperaments and how they relate to stewardship, relationships, and communication, explore Kathleen Edelman's featured article in our Faithful Steward magazine.

Would it be wise to start converting some of those traditional funds into Roth now—even if it means taking a tax hit—to avoid higher taxes in retirement?I'm 40 years old and have several 401(k) accounts from former employers. I've received mixed advice—some financial advisors say I can't consolidate them into a single account, while another is recommending I move them into a hedge fund that claims to offer a 15–17% return. What should I do?A few years ago, we loaned our son and his wife money to build a tiny home. They're now selling it at a loss to a third party. Are there any sales tax or personal tax consequences we—or our son—should be aware of in this situation?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication by Kathleen EdelmanWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

“For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.” - 1 Corinthians 14:33We're continuing our series on temperaments—how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman is back with us, joined by Andrew Stanley, as we take a closer look at the Blue temperament and its influence on our approach to money.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Andrew Stanley is a nationally touring stand-up comedian who's been performing across the country since 2016. You can learn more at AndrewStanleyComedy.com. In this episode, he also joins us as our representative for the Blue Temperament.The Four Temperaments in a NutshellBefore diving into blue specifically, Kathleen offers a quick primer on all four temperaments:Yellow (Sanguine) – Extroverted and people-oriented, they speak the language of fun and relationships.Red (Choleric) – Task-oriented extroverts who value power and control.Blue (Melancholic) – Introverted and task-focused, they speak the language of perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic) – Introverted but people-oriented, seeking peace and harmony.Each temperament influences not just relationships, but also how people handle money, make decisions, and respond under pressure.Blues and the Search for SafetyFor those with a blue temperament, safety isn't just a preference—it's a core emotional need. Blues thrive in environments where things are predictable, orderly, and well-organized. They naturally seek clarity, structure, and control to feel secure. When it comes to money, this often means creating detailed budgets, developing long-term plans, and being cautious when making financial decisions without having all the necessary information. Blues may prefer to save rather than spend, not because they're stingy, but because a growing bank account feels like a safety net against life's uncertainties. They can struggle with risk and may delay action if they feel unsure, even if the opportunity is wise or time-sensitive.In relationships, this drive for safety shows up in how blues communicate and connect with others. They crave understanding and support but may not always express those needs clearly. Because they process deeply and thoroughly, they often require space and time before responding, especially in moments of conflict or when making big decisions. If rushed or misunderstood, they may withdraw, using silence as a way to regain control or avoid making a mistake. However, when their need for emotional safety is honored through patience, empathy, and clear communication, they can be deeply loyal, thoughtful, and intentional partners. Understanding this temperament helps others engage them with compassion and build stronger, more harmonious relationships.Advice for and About BluesIf you have a blue temperament, give yourself permission to take the time you need to process decisions, especially those involving finances. Your thoughtful, analytical nature is a gift, but it can also lead to overthinking or decision paralysis. Don't let the desire for perfection keep you from making progress. Instead, set realistic deadlines, seek wise counsel, and remember that not every choice has to be airtight before it's made. Lean into your strengths—planning, order, and foresight—while also allowing space for joy, spontaneity, and relational connection. A budget isn't just a safety tool; it can also be a pathway to shared experiences and generous living.For those in a relationship with a blue—whether in marriage, friendship, or at work—understand that their quiet moments are rarely a sign of apathy. Blues often feel deeply but express slowly. They value being understood and respected, especially when making important decisions. Don't rush them. Instead, provide information clearly and give them time to reflect. Be patient if they seem hesitant or cautious. Underneath that careful exterior is someone who longs for peace, harmony, and purpose. When you honor their need for safety and support, you'll discover a loyal, wise, and dependable partner who brings depth and stability to any relationship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I are carrying about $8,500 in credit card debt, plus a car loan. I've been considering opening a new credit card with an introductory 0% interest rate to help us pay it down more quickly. My wife's grandmother also mentioned a credit card relief program, but I'm worried it might hurt our credit. What's the best way for us to tackle this debt?Thank you for the financial advice you share on the program. It's helped me organize my finances, set up separate accounts, and start investing early. I'm grateful for the practical wisdom you offer!I'm on SSDI and have limited resources, but I'm wondering if it's still worthwhile to start investing.

“The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” — Proverbs 14:8Today, we're continuing our series on temperaments—how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman is back with us, joined by Rachel Petty, as we take a closer look at the Green temperament and how it influences our approach to money.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Rachel Petty is a valued member of Kathleen Edelman's team and is our Green Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?The concept of temperaments dates back to Hippocrates, whom Galen followed in naming the four temperaments. Each temperament is a wiring we're born with—more like eye color than personality—and it shapes how we communicate, relate, and even handle money. The four types are:Yellow (Sanguine): Extrovert, people-oriented; speaks the language of people and fun.Red (Choleric): Extrovert, task-oriented; speaks the language of power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Introvert, task-oriented; speaks the language of perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): Introvert, people-oriented; speaks the language of calm and harmony.Temperament is your innate wiring. Personality develops through life experiences, but temperament remains relatively consistent.Meet the Green: Introverted and People-OrientedGreens are known as “relationship glue”—calm in chaos, steady in presence, and always people-conscious. They're inward processors, but also deeply relational.They are drawn to budgeting with others and long-term planning. They don't like flashy risks or micromanaging. They prefer round numbers and fewer check-ins.Because Greens crave harmony, they might avoid financial conflict or decisions altogether. But with gentle encouragement and time, they become wise and thoughtful stewards.Strategies That HelpRachel offers practical tools for those who fall under the Green category or know somebody who does:Stay involved. Greens can sometimes disengage easily. It's a discipline to speak up.Name what matters. Clarifying what's most important—whether for a trip or a purchase—helps prioritize.Set deadlines. It gives them the gentle nudge that action is needed.Greens thrive when respected and heard. Their insights are valuable—they just need time and space to process them fully.However, don't pressure a Green. Invite them in gently and clearly. They want to contribute—they just need the right environment.The Innate Needs of a GreenAccording to Kathleen, Greens have four core needs:Harmony – a peaceful environment.Lack of Stress – minimal conflict.Feeling of Worth – appreciation for who they are.Respect – being asked for their input.When these needs are met, Greens are kind, steady, and confident. When ignored, they may retreat or procrastinate.For those in the Green category, take the time to understand what matters to you and lean into your steady nature. And for those in a relationship with a Green—give them time, space, and encouragement. There's more going on than you might see.And remember this: if you are a Green, your calm is a gift. Advocate for yourself—peace sometimes requires courage. Your voice matters.Want More?If you've found this information valuable, make sure you don't miss Kathleen's latest article on temperaments, featured in the newest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

“The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” - Proverbs 20:5Today, we're kicking off a new series on temperaments, how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman and Traci Shepherd join us to explore the Red temperament and how it influences our financial decisions.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Traci Shepherd is our Red Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?For those who are new to the concept of the four temperaments, here is a helpful summary:Yellow (Sanguine): Speaks the language of people and fun – an extroverted, people-oriented personality.Red (Choleric): Speaks the language of power and control – an extroverted, task-oriented personality.Blue (Melancholic): Speaks the language of perfection and order – an introverted, task-oriented personality.Green (Phlegmatic): Speaks the language of calm and harmony – an introverted, people-oriented personality.Each temperament influences how we speak, listen, behave, and manage our finances.The Red Temperament: Driven and DecisiveReds are typically goal-oriented, confident, and solution-focused. They don't just talk about getting things done; they make it happen. In relationships, this drive often leads them to step in and take over when others hesitate. But that same strength can become a weakness if it turns into controlling behavior rather than collaborative leadership.The Red temperament often feels the need to fix things. This framework helps them see the strength behind that impulse and offers tools to balance their drive with empathy.Red Temperament and Money: It's All About the PlanReds tend to view money as a means to accomplish their goals. They prefer clarity, efficiency, and structure. But they may clash with other temperaments—for instance, a Yellow, who values fun, spontaneity, and experiences.Rather than labeling other spending styles as wrong, having this awareness can enable more honest conversations, especially in relational tensions within areas like finances. Strength with Compassion: Communication Tips for RedsReds bring immense value to financial decision-making. Their clarity of vision and drive for results help families and teams move forward. Reds are bullet-point, bottom-line thinkers, but that doesn't mean they've ignored the details. They're often 10 steps ahead.To foster healthier communication, Kathleen encourages Reds to:Pause before respondingAsk questions with curiosity (“What do you think?” or “How do you feel about this?”)Listen to understand, not just to replyThese simple shifts can transform conflict into connection.The Emotional Needs of a RedReds have core emotional needs that must be honored, especially in financial conversations:Loyalty—Knowing others have their back.Sense of Control—Either having control or trusting someone else is in control.Appreciation—Being valued for their strengths.Credit for Work—Recognition for their contributions.When these needs go unmet, Reds can respond with frustration or harshness. However, when those needs are met, they become dynamic and inspiring leaders.What to Remember if You or Someone You Love is a RedRemember that your wiring is a gift. But don't rush ahead. Bring others with you. It's not about controlling; it's about being prepared and feeling safe.And for those in a relationship with a Red? Remember, they're not trying to be harsh. They just want to know the plan.Want More?Reds are uniquely wired to be visionaries. When they lead with both confidence and compassion, transformation happens in conversations, relationships, and financial decisions.As we continue this series on temperaments and money, we'll explore how each personality type contributes to God-honoring stewardship. When every voice is heard, and every strength is valued, we grow not just in wisdom but in unity.Read Kathleen's full article on how the four temperaments shape our financial decisions in the latest edition of Faithful Steward.

I also run my business out of another property we own, which still has a $180,000 mortgage with a 3.75% interest rate. We're considering doubling our monthly payments to pay it off early.

In today's episode I sit down with Dr. Thomas Boyce, professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at UCSF, about his 40 years of research on temperamental differences in children, specifically focusing on his concept of 'orchid' and 'dandelion' children. Dr. Boyce explains how while most children are resilient like dandelions, a significant minority are sensitive 'orchids' who react more strongly to their environments. We discuss Boyce's research, the biological underpinnings of these temperamental differences, and how different environments impact these children.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Don and Tom welcome Weston Wellington of Dimensional Funds for a rare and richly insightful conversation covering market volatility, media noise, diversification, and the enduring wisdom of index investing. Weston compares Spam to Motorola, skewers financial hype, and champions simplicity in investing—and yes, he might just sing if you let him. The conversation explores how far the financial industry has evolved (and still has to go), why most investors get in their own way, and whether AI or just good old-fashioned “aggregated intelligence” holds the future of smart money management. 0:04 Don's surprise “singing telegram” and guest intro0:53 Weston Wellington on volatility and market uncertainty2:47 Why volatility is the “price we pay to play”3:32 The media's role in investor anxiety4:57 Should investors act on daily financial advice?6:15 Portfolio changes should reflect personal changes, not headlines7:24 Spam vs. Motorola: A lesson in stock picking9:44 Dimensional's stance on individual stock ownership10:02 Diversification as “the closest thing to a free lunch”11:07 Are alternative investments the new magic bullet?12:43 Mutual funds vs. ETFs—what works best and when15:27 Industry evolution: from 8% loads to indexing dominance18:29 Where Dimensional fits in the modern fund landscape21:01 AI vs. “aggregated intelligence” in managing portfolios24:04 How regular people can find real financial advice25:34 The key to success: Temperament, not timing26:44 Weston's side gig as a roving birthday singer27:58 Why Weston hasn't been invited lately (and he's lonely) Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a lot of terminology and misconceptions thrown around in the pediatric sleep world especially on social media. Can they self- settle? Are wake windows a real thing?

I welcome back Sujay Kansagra who is a pediatric neurologist and sleep medicine physician at Duke who has dedicated his life to helping kids (and their parents) sleep better. He knows sleep and the importance of it. He was on my show before on an episode called Sleep-training: What the evidence does or doesn't say. He joins me to discuss: If genetics play a role in sleep and if there is such a thing as a “good” or “bad” sleeper If “wake-windows” are evidence-based If there's a certain age we would expect a baby to “sleep through the night” The truth behind sleep regressions To connect with Sujay Kansagra follow him on Instagram @thatsleepdoc and purchase his book My Child Won't Sleep: A Quick Guide for the Sleep-Deprived Parent Additional Resources About Sleep: Review of Sleep Training Data: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17068979/ Cortisol and Sleep Training Research Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27221288/ Short Sleep Gene: https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2019/08/415261/after-10-year-search-scientists-find-second-short-sleep-gene "Sleeping Through the Night" Article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20974775/ Wide Range of Normal Sleep During First Year: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12563055/ Sleep Regressions and Data Behind Fixed Months for Regression: https://www.babysleep.com/sleep-advice/what-is-a-sleep-regression/ We'd like to know who is listening!
