Send Katie a Text Message!! One of the biggest misconceptions I see in the interior design industry is the belief that profitability automatically means your business is healthy.It doesn't.You can have beautiful projects, happy clients, strong revenue, and still be operating a business that can't handle another level of growth.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between a profitable design business and a scalable design firm—and why that distinction matters if you're trying to move from six figures to seven figures.We're talking about the hidden ways owners compensate for weak systems, how growth exposes structural problems, and why building a load-bearing business matters more than simply increasing revenue.In This Episode, We Cover:Why profitability and scalability are not the same thingThe signs your business may already be at capacityHow owner dependency creates hidden risksThe four load-bearing elements of a scalable design firmWhy more growth often reveals business weaknessesHow to run a simple load test on your businessThe CEO mindset required for sustainable growthIf you've ever felt like your business is working but something still feels off, this episode is for you.Because the goal isn't just to make more money.It's to build a business that can actually carry the success you're creating.Connect with KatieLinkedInBusiness Strategy Sessions for Interior Designers Free Resources for scaling your interior design firmWebsite

Send us Fan MailHave you ever looked around at your life and thought, "Nothing is technically wrong... so why do I feel so disconnected from it?"That is exactly what we're diving into this week with speaker, coach, and author Iona Holloway.Iona's new book, Do the Brave Thing, starts with a question that hit me right between the eyes: What happens when you've done everything right, collected all the gold stars, built the life that looks impressive on paper... and still feel dead inside?In this conversation, Iona shares the rock bottom moment that forced her to confront a life built on perfectionism, achievement, and invisible suffering. We talk about the pressure so many women carry to be strong, capable, and endlessly high-functioning, and why those qualities can sometimes become the very thing keeping us stuck.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was Iona's distinction between being strong and being brave. Strength can look like gritting your teeth and carrying more than you should. Bravery asks something different. It asks you to listen to yourself, tell the truth about what you want, and tolerate the discomfort that comes with change.We also explored how fear disguises itself as practicality, perfectionism, procrastination, and even the stories we tell ourselves about why we're the exception. The woman who can't. The one for whom it's harder. The one who should wait until she's ready.Spoiler alert: ready is not coming.Iona shared her powerful "5 and 95 Rule," the idea that a brave life is one that makes five-year-old you happy and ninety-five-year-old you proud. It is simple, memorable, and honestly one of those ideas that lingers long after the conversation ends.If you've been quietly wondering whether there's more available to you than simply being impressive, this episode is your reminder that feeling alive matters too.What's Inside:Why being impressive and feeling alive are not the same thingThe difference between being strong and being braveHow fear hides inside perfectionism, procrastination, and practicalityIona's "5 and 95 Rule" for making braver decisionsThe thing I keep coming back to from this conversation is that bravery rarely looks cool. Most of the time it looks awkward, uncertain, and wildly uncomfortable. What's one brave thing you've been avoiding lately?  DM me on Instagram…I'd genuinely love to hear your answer. Mentioned in This Episode:Brave ThingDo the Brave Thing BookIona Holloway on InstagramIona Holloway on LinkedInGet Healthy AF Book FreeOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Share Your ThoughtsWhat We Talk About in This EpisodeIn this conversation, we cover:What Flight Cast actually is (and who it's for)Why it's a video-first hosting platformHow “one upload, one dashboard” pushes your show to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSS, and audio platformsHow you can keep it simple or go crazy with customizationSimple upload, powerful customizationUpload one episode and:Send video to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSSSend audio everywhere elseSchedule different release times per platform (e.g., 6 AM audio, 8 AM YouTube)Use different titles, descriptions, and even different edits per platformUpload separate versions of the file (say “subscribe” in one, “follow” in another)Use AI to:Generate titles, descriptions, and chapters in your own styleAuto-format chapters correctly for each platformAll your stats in one placeHow Flight Cast pulls:YouTube viewsSpotify streamsRSS downloadsAnd rolls them up into a single “plays” metricAdditional analytics you get:Day-by-day performanceNew vs returning followersCross-platform uniquesBreakdown by platform, country, state, cityA built-in “giant spreadsheet” you don't have to build yourselfAudience overlap (who listens to episode A and episode B)Using the built-in AI chat to answer questions like:“Rank all my episodes on YouTube in the last 6 months by views in the first 24 hours.”“What's my 100-day average per episode?”Ads, programmatic, and retention dataHow Flight Cast handles:Geo-targetingProgrammatic adsDynamic ad slotsWhy retention graphs matter more than a single download numberHow to look at:Drop-off moments (what caused the skip?)Chapter jumps (what are people skipping to?)Rox's “favorite stat” and why views still matter most in his worldClips, test channels, and experimentationLets you “always be testing” in the backgroundHow to ramp up clips:Start with 1 clip/daySlowly increase to 2, 3, then 4 maxWhy this kind of ongoing experimentation is like treating your show as a recipe, not a statueMoving from audio to video (without losing your mind)Rox's core idea:Video isn't a file format, it's an algorithmOn YouTube, TikTok, Reels, Shorts: publishing and discovery are the same thingThe big mindset shift:Audio podcasting = small optimization games (SEO, cross-promo, ads)YouTube = “get good” at a few big levers:ThumbnailsTitlesIdeasIntrosWhy the first 30 seconds, title, and thumbnail matter so much more than most of us want to admitTalking-head video vs fancy productionWhy talking heads are NOT bad content:Joe Rogan is talking headsDiary of a CEO is talking headsWhy audio quality is still 80% of the experience even on videoWhen 4K matters (and when it doesn't):720 → 1080 is a big jump1080 → 4K is “nice to have,” not mandatoryFlight Cast's support for full 4K, including Apple HLS video, and why they built it to “respect” creators who go the extra mileWho Flight Cast is for and pricingTarget user: serious video podcasters / “intermediate plus”Why Rox calls it a “jackhammer”—powerful, but you don't always need that much powerPricing (at the time of this conversation):Starts around $50/month for everything except clipsHigher tiers ($100–$250/month) if you want more clips and higher download limitsBasic plan includes:Up to 50,000 downloads/monthFull 4K video, Apple HLS, no bandwidth chargesAround 3 TB of storage (which almost nobody hits)Learning YouTube: resources Rox recommendsApril Lynn Alter (YouTube channel)Patty Galloway (YouTube channel)Creator Hooks by Jake Thomas (newsletter)A dose of reality about YouTube and videoWe talk frankly about:People who spend days or even weeks perfecting a thumbnailThe sheer amount of time it can take to get good at YouTubeMy big point:It's okay if you don't have that timeJust understand what you're up against so you don't get discouragedMy biggest fear:People add video to an already full plateBurn out on videoThen quit podcasting entirelyI want you to set realistic expectationsBonus: For audio-only podcasters who still want better statsPodAnalyst.com – in beta with their pro plan free for nowTracks:Listening completion at 25%, 50%, 75%, etc.How long people are actually listeningTo me, that's the real “is my show any good?” metric:If people are only listening to 25% of an episode, that's a signalYou can track up to 10 keywords, share stats with team members, and export data while they're in beta.My TakeawaysHere's what I want you to remember from this episode:If you go into video, YouTube is an algorithm game, not just a file format.You don't need cinematic production; you do need:Strong audioA compelling titleA curiosity-driven thumbnailA sharp first 30 secondsTools like FlightCast can:Save you time by distributing everywhere from one uploadHelp you understand your audience by putting all your stats in one placeYou don't have to “go full YouTuber” to benefit from thinking like one.And again, if you're already overwhelmed with audio, please don't feel like you “have to” add video.

GLP-1s are often talked about as appetite suppressants.But I think that's only part of the story.Because for some people, these medications aren't suppressing an appetite at all—they're helping regulate an appetite that feels completely out of control.But for other people?They may be doing something very different.In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between appetite regulation and appetite suppression, why that distinction matters, and what it means for how we think about hunger, food noise, weight loss, and health.I get into:Why appetite regulation and appetite suppression aren't the same thingThe role food noise does (and doesn't) play in all of thisWhy your experience on a GLP-1 might be very different from someone else'sThe potential downside of having too little appetiteThe questions I think we should all be asking when it comes to these medicationsThis is one of those episodes that got me thinking long after I stopped recording—and I know it'll get you thinking too.One of the articles I referencedConnect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries

For decades, marketers have debated one question:How much frequency is enough?But what if the industry has been arguing about two completely different things the entire time?In Part 2 of this Sharp Cut series, Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros revisit the reach vs frequency debate after a wave of listener feedback challenged, refined, and strengthened the original episode. What emerges is a far more nuanced framework built around one critical distinction: burst frequency vs drip frequency.Drawing on work from Byron Sharp, Les Binet, Hermann Ebbinghaus, Stu Carr, Dale Harrison, Paul Hindle, and real-world incrementality testing from industry practitioners, this episode breaks down:Why frequency is not one thingThe difference between burst and drip frequencyHow memory actually works in advertisingWhy brands quietly lose effectiveness when they go darkThe hidden risks of streaming frequency capsWhy low frequency can appear more effective than it really isThe three real jobs of frequency: building, refreshing, and activatingWhy impressions and average frequency often mislead marketersHow last-click attribution continues to distort decision makingThe planning mistakes quietly wasting media budgets todayThis episode reframes one of marketing's oldest debates through the lens of memory, incrementality, and effectiveness.Because the real question was never reach versus frequency.It was burst versus drip.Chapters00:00 - Introduction to Comfort Blankets in Advertising03:40 - Understanding Memory in Advertising08:05 - Building and Refreshing Memory Structures10:08 - The Impact of Streaming on Frequency13:50 - The Three Jobs of Advertising20:38 - Measurement Challenges in AdvertisingOriginal LinkedIn Post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7453434962604691457/Special thanks to all those who inspired this follow-up episode:Stu Carr, Dale Harrison, Paul Hindle and Dennis A.ResourcesBinet, L.

The Stages of Change Mini SeriesUnderstanding the Contemplation Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we continue our series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the contemplation stage, the stage where awareness has begun, but change has not yet fully happened.The part of us that wants change… and the part that is still afraid of it.In this episode we explore:Why awareness and action are not the same thingThe emotional exhaustion of living between two worldsWhy people stay stuck in patterns they know are hurting themThe hidden benefits behaviours can still provideFear, identity, belonging, and nervous system safetyWhy familiar pain can feel safer than uncertaintyThe grief that can come with changeSupporting someone who is in contemplation without pushing or shaming themWe also talk about how contemplation is often a deeply vulnerable stage because once awareness begins, it becomes difficult to fully “unsee” the impact of our behaviours.This episode is an invitation to meet inner conflict with honesty instead of judgement, and to understand that questioning a behaviour is already movement.Journal prompts or reflection:What behaviour or pattern am I currently questioning in my life?What do I fear I might lose if I change?What is this behaviour helping me avoid, numb, regulate, or cope with?How can I best support my nervous system through this?For more resources such as coaching or to join the next HIQA challenge go towww.iquitalcohol.com.auFollow HIQA insta @howiquitalcohol Music for Podcast intro and outro written by Danni Carr performed by Mr CassidyIf you are struggling with physical dependancy on alcohol consider contacting a local AA meeting or a drug and alcohol therapist.

Somewhere between year eight and year twelve of a knowledge-work career, something shifts. The title is good. The compensation is good. The reviews are good. The output has never been more polished, especially in the last two years, because AI has put a layer of polish on everything you ship. But the feeling of getting visibly better, the feeling that defined your first decade, has quietly disappeared.Most professionals misdiagnose what's happening. They call it lost motivation, burnout, or hitting their ceiling. None of those is usually the right diagnosis.In this episode, Charles Good breaks down why mid-career professionals plateau and it's not what you think. Drawing on cognitive science research from Anders Ericsson, Robert Bjork, Monique Boekaerts, and the Harvard Business School / BCG / Dell'Acqua study on AI and consultant performance, Charles identifies the four forces quietly dulling your edge: rooms that have become too familiar, the habit of never watching your own tape, the disappearance of reflection time, and the new and accelerating cost of letting AI take your reps.Then, using lessons from three of the greatest performers in their fields, Roger Federer rebuilding his game at thirty-two, Tom Brady studying his own film into his forties, and Michael Jordan returning to six AM workouts after three championships, Charles offers three concrete moves to put growth back inside the work you already do.You'll learn:Why most professionals misdiagnose the plateau as motivation, burnout, or ceiling — and what's actually happening underneathThe cognitive science of deliberate practice and desirable difficulty, and why effort and growth are not the same thingThe four forces dulling your edge — including the AI dynamic that almost no one is talking aboutThe Federer Move: how to find a harder room once a quarterThe Brady Move: the four-question Friday reflection that takes fifteen minutesThe Jordan Move and the First Draft Rule: how to use AI without letting it take the reps that build your judgmentIf you've been delivering well but quietly suspect you've stopped growing, this is the episode for you.Chapters 00:00 Michael Jordan's Breakfast Club: Why Greats Go Back to the Reps02:00 The Mid-Career Plateau Nobody Wants to Name04:30 Why Motivation, Burnout, and Ceiling Are the Wrong Diagnoses06:00 You Stopped Being a Learner — The Real Reframe08:30 Force One: Federer at Thirty-Two and the Familiar Room12:00 Force Two: The Brady Discipline of Watching Your Own Tape13:30 Force Three: The Reflection Loop That Never Gets Closed14:30 Force Four: How AI Is Taking Your Reps17:30 The Federer Move — Find a Harder Room18:30 The Brady Move — The Four-Question Friday19:30 The Jordan Move — The First Draft Rule20:00 Are You Still Getting Sharper?Subscribe to The Good Leadership Podcast: [⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠]LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/charlesagood⁠⁠⁠Substack Channel (Outlearn to Outperform): ⁠⁠⁠charlesgood.substack.com⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn Newsletter (The Outlearn Advantage): [⁠Subscribe⁠]

This is a Vintage episode from 2010Why This Episode MattersWhy most Pinot Grigio on the market tastes the same—and how to spot the real thingThe difference between DOC vs IGT wines (and why it actually matters in your glass)How geography—especially Trentino-Alto Adige—shapes flavor more than marketing ever willA candid look at wine pricing: what's quality vs what's brandingThe BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott open with stories from interviewing restaurant staff highlighting a simple truth: honesty matters more than experience, especially in hospitality.The ConversationGiovanni Barone of Barone Fini joins the show to break down the misunderstood world of Pinot Grigio. He explains how Italy's regional identity, not the country itself, defines wine, and why Trentino-Alto Adige produces fresher, more food-friendly expressions due to extreme temperature swings and alpine conditions.The discussion pulls back the curtain on the wine business: from bulk wine labeled as premium bottles to the outsized role of branding in pricing. Giovanni makes the case for purity and restraint in winemaking, contrasting it with more manipulated styles found elsewhere.Along the way, the conversation becomes a broader philosophy of food and drink: great wine isn't about flash—it's about flavor, place, and how it works at the table.Timestamps00:00 – Interview horror stories & hiring philosophy08:45 – Introducing Giovanni Barone & Barone Fini10:30 – What “DOC” actually means (and why you should care)14:00 – The realities of the wine business in Italy20:30 – Italian wine rules, climate, geography, and flavor27:00 – Why Pinot Grigio works with food (even rich dishes)32:00 – Pricing, branding, and the truth about expensive Pinot Grigio37:00 – DOC vs IGT explained simply41:00 – Purity in wine vs mass-market productionBioGiovanni Barone is part of the Barone Fini family, a historic winemaking estate in Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige region.

“In leadership, the visible problem is often just the symptom.” - Winnie da SilvaIs the problem you're trying to solve actually the real problem or just the most obvious one?In this episode, I unpack why so many leadership challenges don't get resolved the way we expect, and how quickly jumping to solutions can keep us stuck in the same cycles. I share a real client story and walk through how to slow down just enough to uncover what's really driving the issue, so you can create solutions that actually last.You'll hear me discuss:Why the visible problem is often just a symptom, not the root causeHow pressure and urgency push us into solving the wrong thingThe difference between surface issues and deeper organizational dynamicsA real example of how misalignment at the top created slow decision-makingThe role of trust, expectations, and avoided conversations in team challengesSimple questions I use to dig deeper and challenge my own assumptionsHow pausing, gathering input, and testing solutions leads to better outcomesResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

One hundred episodes.In this milestone episode, Danielle Black does something she has never quite done before - she tells the full truth about where this work came from, what it has cost, and why she hasn't walked away.More than seventeen years ago, Danielle was a young mother with a 12-month-old son. She was told by a family lawyer to agree to the 50/50 care arrangements that her abusive ex was demanding. She developed C-PTSD. She kept her phone on silent for a decade because the sound of a message arriving triggered a full panic response. And through all of it, she performed 'reasonableness' - because that was what the professionals, and the system, rewarded.This episode is honest about what has changed in the Australian family law system since then. And equally honest about what hasn't.In this episode Danielle covers:What the family law system was like 17 years ago - and what it looks like nowWhy legislative change and practice change are not the same thingThe invisible architecture of what Danielle has built - and why boundaries are not a failure of dedicationWhy she didn't burn it down when she wanted toA direct message to the parent who is where she was seventeen years agoThis is not a highlight reel.

Deep dating is trending — but what it actually means might surprise you. In this episode, Steph and Georgianna break down the real reason so many of us show up to dates (and important conversations) performing instead of present — and what it takes to actually change that.Georgianna opens with a painfully relatable story: smiling and feigning approval on a date with someone she'd already decided she wanted to like. Not fake, exactly — she genuinely felt excited. But there was a difference between the real version of that excitement and the performed version. Learning to feel that difference? That's the whole thing.Steph adds her own gem: the man who said he liked to clean. And technically, he did. Just not in any way that translated to what Steph's brain had decided it meant. This is the core problem with "deep dating" as it's being practiced right now — people front-loading all of their self-awareness, their therapy insights, their dealbreaker lists, as if talking equals knowing. It doesn't. Knowing someone takes time, shared experience, and watching how they actually show up when things get hard.The episode also gets into the vulnerability vs. trauma dumping distinction — not as a rigid rule, but as a felt sense. When you've genuinely worked through something and share it, it lands differently than when you're still ashamed of it and testing whether someone will accept you anyway. Your body knows the difference. The question is whether you're slowing down enough to listen.Georgianna closes with a full somatic practice: what to do with your body before, during, and after a date — including sentence stems that will show you exactly what you're actually hoping for (which, it turns out, is often not what you thought).What You'll Learn:Why feigning excitement has a specific somatic signature — and how to tell it apart from the real thingThe stat that explains why men don't go deeper first (and why women are waiting for them to)How trauma bonding gets mistaken for deep connection — and the energy difference between the twoWhy talking about yourself isn't the same as someone knowing you, and why that distinction matters for pacingA grounded somatic practice for before, during, and after a date so you can stay connected to yourself through all of itThe sentence stems that reveal what success actually means to you on a date (spoiler: it probably isn't what you used to think)How self-acceptance changes the way you share — and why the same story lands differently depending on where you're coming fromResources Mentioned:Somatic Sessions — twice-monthly live online sessions for building nervous system capacity: wholeheartedloving.com/primingforpeaceConscious Relationship Training (CRT) — live cohort program for embodied relational change: wholeheartedloving.com/crtSelf-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit — between-session somatic support: wholeheartedloving.com/primingforpeaceIf you're tired of performing on dates or in conversations and want to actually feel present with people — and with yourself — this one's for you.

You've done the hard part.You've secured regulatory approval. You've got two pilot sites running. You've even got distributor interest.But sales still aren't landing the way you expected.Now you've got 90 days. Limited runway. Board pressure building.And you can only prioritise one move.So what do you focus on?Do you activate the distributor and push for reach?Do you hire commercial support to build structure?Do you refine your messaging and economic case?Or do you double down somewhere else entirely?In this episode, we break down how clinician founders should prioritise when everything feels urgent — and why most MedTech businesses stall not because the product isn't strong, but because the commercial leverage isn't.You'll discover:Why regulatory approval is permission — not tractionThe difference between interest and evidence (and why only one protects your runway)The hidden risk of activating distributors too earlyWhy activity and progress are not the same thingThe decision framework that turns early traction into scalable momentumIf you're a clinician building a Medical Device and trying to simplify your go-to-market strategy, this episode will challenge how you think about traction, revenue and exporting.Because the difference between a working prototype and an international MedTech business isn't technical strength.It's commercial proof.Hit play and decide what you would prioritise — before you hear what we would do.Message me via DM on LinkedinBook a 30 min discovery call for the Healthcare Export Accelerator ProgrammeThis podcast is for clinicians turning medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, exporting, and scaling in international MedTech.

"Fundraising is distracting and draining. How do I cope?"Dave sent this to the Peer Effect Post Bag. And James and Freddie's answer challenges the question itself.If fundraising is your responsibility as a founder, calling it a "distraction" reveals the problem. That framing guarantees you'll feel distracted during it, which means you won't perform as well as you could.This is Season 6 of Post Bag. James and Freddie are founder coaches who've worked with dozens of scale-ups through fundraising cycles.The insight:If you see fundraising as a distraction from "real work," you'll feel distracted. Reframe it as your number one priority for that period - and everything changes.Fundraising isn't something you do to enable the business. When you're in it, it IS the business. Securing funding is what lets you hire, scale, make payroll, do everything you say you want to do.What you'll hear:Why each investor conversation should be a learning opportunity (what landed, what didn't, what questions you answered well, what to improve)The founder who hates fundraising but crushes it every time, because she treats it as her one thingThe "is it you or your team" question: If you say it's the team, it's probably you. If you say it's you, it's probably the team.Why you need a team that can survive without you, because if you're fundraising every 2 years for 3-6 months, you're spending 25% of your time away from the businessHow to know if you've made yourself the bottleneckWhy "you're the prize" changes the power dynamic (it's a two-way process, not begging)What to focus on beyond the outcome: connections, learning, communication skills, and understanding what you want in an investorThe reality check:Fundraising is brutal for the ego. It's humbling. People pick apart your baby. Half-listen. Don't respond to follow-ups. But if you give it your all, treat it as your priority, and learn from every conversation, you'll be successful even if you don't enjoy it.And if you describe yourself as chaotic or ADHD, knowing your #1 priority becomes even more essential. The founders who succeed despite the chaos are the ones who can focus when it matters.One action: Listen to the end for how to reframe fundraising before you start.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

There comes a point where always being the hero starts costing you your life.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to always show up for everyone else — and what it's taken from me over the years.For three years straight, I set goals.For three years straight, I missed most of them.It wasn't laziness.It wasn't lack of ambition.It was misdirected energy.I realized I was investing more time into saving other people than I was building the life I say I want.And when you're always Mufasa in everyone's story…you forget how to be yourself in your own.We talk about:The hidden cost of always being the dependable oneWhy reliability and accessibility are not the same thingThe guilt that keeps you stuck in “hero mode”How survivor's guilt shaped my boundariesWhy being the “bad guy” might actually save your lifeThere's a difference between being kind and abandoning yourself.You can be the bad guy in someone's story for a moment…or be the bad guy to yourself forever.It's about DAMN time we stop confusing self-sacrifice with love.It's About DAMN Time SegmentIt's about DAMN time we stop being the bad guy to ourselves just to be liked.D.A.M.N. ChallengeChoose one moment this week to protect your time.No explanation.No over-justifying.No guilt spiral.Just choose you.Sit with the discomfort.Notice what doesn't fall apart.

What happens when you finally stop pretending you want freedom, and actually tell God the truth?In this deeply honest conversation, Ben Fitzgerald shares his story of struggling with pornography while walking in ministry, the moment God confronted what he was still keeping as an option, and how real freedom finally came when everything was brought into the light.Ben opens up about the tension of being anointed but still broken, the night he told God, “I want this, but I do not want to want it,” and why honesty from spiritual leadership played a crucial role in his deliverance. He also shares how Bethel leadership refused to let him step into pastoral leadership while he was secretly battling pornography and how that loving but firm boundary became part of his healing.We'll talk about:What it actually looks like when God rescues someone from addictionWhy wanting freedom and being free are not the same thingThe moment Ben realized pornography was still an option in his heartHow honest accountability broke the power of secret sinWhy spiritual compromise dulls our sensitivity to GodWhat the fear of the Lord really looks like in a believer's lifeWhat to say to someone who feels spiritually numb or stuckWhy fighting sexual sin alone never worksIf you feel trapped in a private battle, tired of starting over, or afraid that your sin disqualifies you from God's calling, this episode is for you. Ben's story is proof that freedom is possible, but it requires truth, surrender, and courage.

Have you ever felt “moved” in a moment—only to find yourself back in the same patterns the next day? This devotion asks a heart-check question: Am I really Spirit-filled… or just emotional?In Ephesians 5:18 (KJV), God doesn't call believers to live by hype or mood swings—He calls us to be filled with the Spirit, meaning controlled and directed by the Holy Spirit. In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster explains what being Spirit-filled is not (not just a dramatic experience, not “getting more” of the Spirit, not the same as being indwelt, sealed, or baptized) and what it does involve: confession, surrender, and allowing God's Word to shape our thinking and decisions.You'll also hear a clear contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, and why Spirit-filled living produces real change over time—not just strong feelings in the moment.What it means to be “filled with the Spirit” (biblically)Why emotion and spirituality are not the same thingThe difference between the Spirit's indwelling and the Spirit's fillingHow surrender and confession relate to Spirit-controlled livingWhy Spirit-filled believers grow consistent fruit, not inconsistent impulsesEphesians 5:18Romans 8:9John 7:38–39John 3:341 Corinthians 12:13Ephesians 1:131 John 1:9John 3:30Colossians 3:16Galatians 5:19–25Don't stop here—this is part of an ongoing devotion series on walking wisely and understanding God's will.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by illustrator, letterer, and YouTuber Chris Piascik for a wide-ranging conversation about building a creative career without a grid master plan and why showing up consistently can change everything. Chris shares how a daily challenge that started as a way to reconnect with drawing quietly became the foundation of his entire career. We talk about what it means to play the long game as a creative, how personal work can naturally lead to apid opportunities, and why focusing on making matters more than chasing the perfect strategy. We also dig into YouTube as a creative outlet and income stream, how Chris balances client work with products and content creation, and the realities of building systems that work with (not against) an ADHD brain. From style evolution and experimentation to shipping physical products and dealing with internet opinions, this episode is packed with honest insights and plenty of laughs.All that and more when you listen to this episode:How a daily drawing habit shaped Chris's entire careerWhy personal work and client work can feel like the same thingThe unexpected path from illustrator to YouTuberCreating structure and rules to stay consistentWhat actually helps your style evolve over timeWhy making more work matters more than making “perfect” workBuilding income beyond client projects through products and contentThe realities of running an online shopWhat makes YouTube different from other social platformsLetting curiosity, experimentation, and fun lead the wayConnect with Chris PiascikInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrispiascik/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chris-piascik Website:https://www.chrispiascik.com/ Shop: https://www.chrispiascik.com/shop Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/follow-your-art_9781419776823/SkillshareAdobe FrescoProcreateTom Froese (illustration improv exercises)Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

In this week's episode, we shift the conversation from inner healing to how that healing actually plays out inside your marriage. Jerrad opens up about the quieter, less flashy season Dad Tired has entered, and why he's more encouraged than ever as he hears private stories of repentance, courage, and healing from men around the world.Then we turn to the heart of Step 005: your marriage is meant to display Christ's love for His church. Not primarily your happiness. Not comfort. But a living, breathing picture of the gospel inside your home. When we lose sight of that, everything in marriage starts to unravel. When we stay focused on it, everything begins to fall into place.From there, we get ultra-practical. Jerrad unpacks four clear, measurable ways husbands can model Christ's love toward their wives — ways you can start evaluating and practicing this week.What We CoverWhy external “hype” has faded… and why that's actually a good thingThe unseen, private faithfulness of men that is changing generationsThe biblical symbolism of marriage — from Genesis to JesusWhy marriage falls apart when we expect it to serve our happinessHow to reset your expectations around the purpose of marriageFour simple questions every husband should ask himself each weekWhy your wife is meant to feel emotionally, spiritually, and physically safe with youFour Ways Christ Loves His Church… and How We Model Them(With verses for your study)Christ Pursues FirstRomans 5:8You take initiative. You move toward her. You start the conversations. You pursue her heart.Christ Sacrifices DailyEphesians 5:25, Mark 10:45You lay down comfort, preference, ego, and convenience for her good — with joy, not resentment.Christ Shows CompassionHebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 3:7You slow down, listen well, empathize, honor her, and create emotional safety.Christ Protects and Strengthens2 Thessalonians 3:3You become a refuge — physically, emotionally, spiritually — where she feels secure and lifted up.Free Download: Step 005 PDFWe created a full PDF to help you process Step 005 on your own or with a Garage Group:dadtired.com/7stepsThis includes:A theological overview of marriageCommon barriers men facePractical exercisesReflection questionsScripture study promptsThe four measurable areas of pursuitPartner With the MissionDad Tired is at 7% of its 2026 fundraising goal.

Send us a textA new breast implant called Motiva has been all over social media — but is it really the next big thing in plastic surgery or just a risky experiment?In this 100th episode of The Trillium Show, Dr. Jason Hall breaks down the hype behind Motiva implants and what sets them apart: from their RFID microchip tracker to their promise of near-zero capsular contracture rates. But as Dr. Hall explains, lower contracture rates may come with trade-offs — including a surprising 50% rate of implant malposition in early studies.You'll learn:The real science behind Motiva's “smart” implant designWhy less scar tissue around the implant isn't always a good thingThe hidden risks of early adoption in medical technologyHow surgeons choose implants, handle consignment stock, and keep costs down for patientsIf you're considering breast augmentation — or just want the truth about the latest “must-have” device trending online — this episode is a must-watch before you book your consult.

We are more connected today than we ever have been. Digital Devices, the web, and social media keep us in constant contact with updates, breaking news, and everyone's latest activities and accomplishments. We are able to witness both the best and sometimes the worst of people, many of which we don't even know.And wile there are many benefits to being able to connect through technology, there are also a few devastating drawbacks including the cost of comparison!We are in a series entitled "Discovering You." The point and purpose of this series is to help you discover you - the real authentic you and the one God created you to be. In the first podcast episode, I talked about the essence of your identity including who or what we mistakenly tie our identity to versus where we should actually anchor our identity.In this episode, we are going to cover the cost of comparison, and yes...there is a significant cost to be paid when we spend our time, energy, and emotions comparing ourselves to others. The cost of comparison is the thief of joy!  Show Notes:"The Truth," song by Megan Woods"The truth is I am my Father's childI make Him proud and I make Him smileI was made in the image of a perfect KingHe looks at me and wouldn't change a thingThe truth is I am truly lovedBy a God who's good when I'm not good enoughI don't belong to the lies, I belong to YouAnd that's the truth"7 Costs of Comparison:TimeMental and Emotional EnergyUnnecessary AnxietyMisaligned PurposeThe Wrong GoalsDistracted FocusLack of ImpactInstead of Comparing, Do These Things Instead:Be grateful. Psalm 139:13-14 says that God created you, and you are "fearfully and wonderfully made." We have been created with great care and reverence by God, who designed us with unique qualities and a specific purpose. We need to go to God first to gain clarity about ourselves. I love this quote from Louie Giglio in his great devotional book Grace and Glory:"God made you with uniqueness and specificity. He knows your talents and gifting. He wove them into you. He knows your strengths and weaknesses. He wrote down all the days of your life in His book before you were born. He knows how you're wired, what you enjoy, and what brings you to life because He made you in His image, and He invites you to be a daughter or son of His kingdom.You don't need affirmation or acceptance from others around you - you have everything you'll ever need from your perfect and loving heavenly Father. You can willingly take up humility in every interaction around you." - Louie Giglio, Grace and GloryWe need to trust God's feedback and guidance. We need to embrace His love for us.Psalm 139:16 says: "Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." God is the Creator of us and the maker of momentsWe need to know His purpose and follow His path for us. We can seek Him and get answers to the key questions in life: Why am I here? Where do you want me to go? And what do you want me to doWe need to stop comparing ourself or our journey to other people and their journeys. This includes appreciating our strengths and our quirks. Change the words and your mindset from "If Only" to "I'm grateful"...and from "I have to" to "I get to."We need be faithful with our calling, even if others don't understand it.We need to ask for, surrender, and submit to God's leadership in our lives.We need to stay focused on the mission He gave us, not the one He gave to someone else.We need to trust that the same God who created and called us...will equip us. Comparison can cause you to feel inadequate, but God will provide everything you need...to do the things He has called you to do and truly become the person He created you to be.New Episodes of the Monday Morning Moments Podcast are released every Monday on your favorite podcast platforms as well as on YouTube.

For years, many have debated whether a true Red Heifer ceremony would ever take place again in Israel. I said it would — and now it has.On July 1st in Shiloh, a biblically qualified red heifer was burned according to the instructions in Numbers 19, under the authority of a verified Cohen priest, and the ashes were collected for future purification.This was not a rehearsal.This was not symbolic.This was a real, legitimate ceremony — exactly as Scripture describes.In this episode, we break down:Why this ceremony matters propheticallyHow the heifers were discovered in Texas and transported to IsraelWhy this ceremony meets the biblical requirements for legitimacyThe key moment that shifted it from a planned practice to the real thingThe role of the Cohen priest who certified the heifer as pureHow the ashes are now preserved for purification useWhat this means for the future Temple and the timeline of prophecyI have said for a long time: The pieces are being put in place before our eyes.This ceremony is one of those pieces.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peRGkp88ylQhttps://www.endtime.com/endtime-show/10-21-25-ep-7175-the-red-heifers-what-happened-on-july-100:00 – Cold open & teaser (claiming the July 1 ceremony was real)00:10 – Welcome & why this is my biggest prophecy update yet01:00 – “I said it was real—and I was right” (setting today's goal)01:34 – Quick channel plugs & how to support the ministry02:11 – A Texas rancher and five flawless red heifers: the setup02:37 – Why red heifers matter (Numbers 19 & temple purification)03:58 – The prophetic dominoes: red ashes → temple → Antichrist timeline05:04 – Meet Byron Stinson, Boné Israel, and the Texas-to-Israel pipeline06:24 – How Boné Israel formed (Jews & Gentiles working together)07:19 – From “planned dry run” to the real thing: what changed on July 108:33 – Why Shiloh?

Send us a textWhat if quitting isn't failure… But actually the bravest move you make?This week on The Reinvention Era, I'm pulling back the curtain on a decision that's been brewing for a while… ending the Badass AF Book Club.It's been beautiful. It's been heartfelt. And it's been wildly unsustainable.So I'm closing the doors, not out of fear, not because I didn't try hard enough… but because sometimes the most aligned thing you can do… is just stop.In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between fear and misalignment… and how to tell when you're staying in something just because it's familiar, or because you're scared of what it means to walk away.We cover:The train quote that changed how I see sunk costs (and might change your life)Why staying in the wrong thing too long will cost you way more than leaving ever willHow to know when it's time to stop, pivot, or burn the whole bloody thing downWhy “doing the thing” isn't the same as being in the thingThe addiction to other people's opinions (and how to rebuild trust in your own)What reinvention really looks like when you've got history, heartbreak, and a habit of putting yourself lastWhether it's a business, a friendship, a job, a programme, or a relationship… If something's off right now, this episode is going to help you hear yourself again.So if you've been circling a decision, doubting your instincts, or secretly Googling “how to know when to quit”, this one's for you.Listen now and let it land.And please share on Instagram or leave a review if you have enjoyed it…. Forever grateful!Love,Sarah x

The great mystery was hidden throughout the ages until revealed to the Apostle Paul. If it was known, the evil rulers would not have crucified Jesus, and God's plan for humanity's redemption would have been thwarted. The inclusion of the Gentiles and the full significance of what Christ accomplished on the cross are part of the mystery that is now revealed in the Ephesians Epistle. Ephesians 3:1-9. What Christ accomplished for humanity was kept secret until Paul received it by revelation. Luke 9:44-45. God wanted the information concealed. Luke 18:31-34. Many things are written in the OT foretelling what Jesus would do and accomplish; however, much of it was hidden until Paul. Mark 8:31-33. Not only did Peter not understand what Jesus said, he also thought he was wrong. 1 Corinthians 2: 6-8. Had they understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. Ephesians 3:2. The word “stewardship” and “administration” in verse 9 are the same Greek word oikonomia. 3:4-5. Before, no one understood; now, we can understand. 1 Corinthians 2:6-16. Ephesians 3:6. Gentiles were now fellow heirs, members, partakers of the promise. Ephesians 2:12-22. 3:8. The riches are so deep, vast, and profound they can never be fully discovered until Christ returns. They are infinitely rich and abundant. Colossians 1:27. Christ in you Ephesians 3:10. Rulers and the authorities – 1:19-21; 6:12 3:11. The mystery explains God's purpose of the ages. 3:12. Only the high priest once a year had access to God. Now every disciple has direct, bold, and confident access to God. 3:13. Do not be discouraged I am in prison; rather, accept it is actually a glorious thingThe post Ephesians Part 5: The Mystery of Christ first appeared on Living Hope.
