At 16, his grandmother fled Kraków after the Nazis killed her father, worked a New York factory floor beside her mother, and applied to every medical school in the state three years running before one finally said yes — then told her second-grade grandson that education is the only thing nobody can ever take away from him.Years later, David Rogier quit his venture capital job with no idea what he wanted to build, and his boss wrote him a check for $500,000 and told him to go think of something; the dark, formless year that followed became MasterClass, whose holding company still carries his grandmother's nickname. Launch day brought so few sales that he went home and cried, and by day four it was obvious he had a real business on his hands. In this conversation, David breaks down how he got Hollywood's biggest names to say yes, why he believes degrees and résumés are quickly becoming worthless, and the three kinds of jobs he thinks will actually survive AI. David Rogier is the founder and CEO of MasterClass, the platform that put instruction from Martin Scorsese, Christina Aguilera, Steph Curry, and dozens of other world-class practitioners into the hands of millions of learners. He built it from a single $500,000 check and has since launched MasterClass Executive, an AI-native alternative to the traditional MBA created in collaboration with OpenAI and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Pastor Seth Troutt closes out our “How to Pray” series by teaching on the final line of the Lord's Prayer: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”Looking at the Garden temptation in Genesis 3, the wilderness temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4, and the reality of evil in and around us, he shows how followers of Jesus can live the good life free from the weight of sin and the influence of the devil.Seth also challenges cultural assumptions about evil, explains why “the evil one” is the best way to understand this phrase, and calls us to pray this petition regularly with honesty and dependence on God.Bookmarks:0:00 - Introduction 10:07 - The Garden Temptation 14:41 - The Wilderness Temptation 26:53 - Three Types of Evil**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/
Text your thoughts and questions!We often think rest is something we earn after we've worked hard enough. We push through exhaustion, tell ourselves we'll slow down later, and believe that getting more done is the key to feeling better. But what if we've been thinking about rest all wrong?This week, in episode 323 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Gary Ware, founder of Breakthrough Play, keynote speaker, certified coach, and bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. As part of our summer series on energy, stress, and nervous system regulation, this timely re-release explores why rest is essential—not as a reward for productivity, but as the foundation that makes sustainable productivity possible.Gary Ware is the founder of Breakthrough Play, a keynote speaker, certified coach, and the bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. Through applied improvisation, positive psychology, and the science of play, Gary helps individuals and organizations reduce stress, strengthen communication, spark creativity, and build more sustainable ways of working. His mission is to help people challenge the belief that productivity requires constant hustle and instead embrace play and rest as powerful tools for greater impact, innovation, and well-being.In this conversation, Gary introduces three distinct types of rest—macro, micro, and meso—and explains how each one helps reduce stress, restore creativity, and support your energy in different ways. He also shares why play isn't childish, why entrepreneurs often resist rest the most, and how small shifts can dramatically improve your focus, well-being, and impact.Key Takeaways:Rest isn't something you earn. It's something that allows you to do your best work.Chronic stress keeps your brain in fight, flight, or freeze mode, reducing creativity, empathy, and clear thinking.Better sleep isn't always about getting more hours. Improving the quality of your sleep can make a significant difference.A consistent wind-down routine helps your body transition into restorative sleep.Macro rest focuses on deep restoration through quality sleep and recovery.Micro rest consists of short five-minute breaks throughout the day that help reset your brain and restore energy between tasks.Scrolling social media or checking email isn't true rest. Choose activities that genuinely recharge you instead.Meso rest means intentionally stepping away from work for several hours, a day, or longer to pursue hobbies, family time, or activities that bring joy.Hobbies aren't a luxury—they help your brain make creative connections and improve problem-solving.Play looks different for everyone. The goal isn't to do what others find fun, but to discover what genuinely restores and energizes you.Sustainable productivity begins with honoring your energy, not constantly pushing through exhaustion.Rest isn't the opposite of productivity—it's what makes productivity sustainable. When you give yourself permission to rest before you're completely depleted, you create space for greater creativity, better decisions, stronger relationships, and more meaningful work. What would change if you stopped trying to earn your rest and started treating it as one of your greatest strengths?Thank you for listening!

What causes significant risk-off events? Can they be anticipated to any degree? Understanding the how and why of these episodes is critical for investors seeking to avoid drawdowns. In this short podcast, I share how I think about episodes of risk-off, with particular attention to the interaction between stock and bond prices — before, during, and after market vol events. I outline three type of risk-off: the classic, the taper, and the liquidation, and provide examples of each. I also propose a fourth, in which the US Treasury market is itself the source of global instability. I hope you find this discussion useful and I wish you an excellent July 4th holiday.

Mastering Life's Adventures: Being Your Best Self Through Soul Evolution!
In this episode Dr. Judith explores the quiet ache of relationship drift — when two people may still love each other, share a home, manage responsibilities, and function well together, but no longer feel deeply emotionally or spiritually connected.This episode is for midlife women who feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally lonely in a long-term relationship, marriage, or committed partnership, even when there is no obvious crisis. Dr. Judith names the difference between practical partnership and soul connection, showing why being needed is not the same as being deeply known.Through the stories of Claire and Rebecca, this episode explores how a woman can slowly stop bringing her whole self into the relationship, how “I'm fine” can become a hiding place, and why the ache of loneliness may be a soul signal calling her back to truth, honesty, and deeper love.You'll learn three soul practices for beginning gently: naming what you are longing for, noticing where you have been hiding, and bringing one true thing back into the relationship with prayer, courage, and compassion.This is not about blame. It is about emotional honesty, spiritual growth, and recognizing when your soul is asking for more truth in love.00:00 The Quiet Ache03:12 Loneliness vs Sacred Solitude04:43 How Drift Happens08:30 Claire's Wake Up Moment11:02 Three Types of Drift13:56 Stop Editing Yourself18:48 Rebecca and Resignation22:36 False Peace vs Real Truth26:53 Soul Courage and Safety29:19 Three Soul Practices34:39 Claire Speaks the Truth35:46 Coming Back to Yourself38:03 One Word and Next Steps

You can learn more about this conference here: https://ourflourishing.org/. "This plenary will explore how we can grieve ruptures that are left unresolved between persons and endure our experience of separation through faith. Whether by estrangement, emotional cutoff, immigration trauma, abuse, or death, some ruptures may not be repaired in our lifetimes, leaving our hearts with an ever-aching longing for connection. Participants will learn how to navigate this separation through the lens of neuroscience, psychology, and faith and discover rest in the peace and love of Christ."Sangeetha S.

In this thought-provoking episode of First Contact, host Eesha Patel welcomes Ron James, a filmmaker, on-camera personality, writer, editor, researcher, entrepreneur, and Media Relations Director for MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network). Ron also serves on the Board of Directors of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, where he works to bring the truth about UFOs and UAPs into mainstream culture through entertainment and media. His latest film, Accidental Truth: Beyond UFO Disclosure — a sequel to his 2023 documentary — hit number one upon release and offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the UFO disclosure movement. Together, Eesha and Ron explore what lies beyond the question of whether non-human intelligence exists and ask what we should be doing with that knowledge. Ron shares his journey from UFO enthusiast to filmmaker and activist, tracing his path through key figures in the field — from Nick Pope to Stanton Friedman — and his growing conviction that humanity is facing the greatest cover-up in its history. The conversation ventures into consciousness, simulation theory, life after death, and the galactic context for humanity's place in a vast, inhabited universe. From the inside story of how David Grusch was brought to public attention, to physical materials retrieved by experiencers and handed to Congress, to the profound questions about what disclosure really means for the future of our species — this episode pushes the conversation forward in ways rarely seen in mainstream UFO media. Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Cold Open: Ron on why acknowledging non-human intelligence is only the beginning of the journey, not the destination. [00:00:54] – Introduction: Eesha introduces Ron James — filmmaker, MUFON Media Relations Director, and Board Member of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance. [00:15:26] – Three Types of Life in the Universe: Ron's framework — beings born into the simulation (like us), beings that transcend in and out of physical form, and beings that originate inside the system (including AI and possible biological robots). [00:40:14] – What Can We Do Individually: Ron encourages the inner journey — meditation, seeking, and allowing personal resonance to guide each person's unique path to understanding. [00:43:04] – Ron's Core Message from the Film: Non-human intelligence has been with us throughout all of recorded history. Acknowledging that is only the beginning. The film is about what comes next.

You don't grow by adding more. You grow by cutting what no longer belongs. Most people think growth comes from adding another strategy, another hire, another opportunity, another commitment. But nature doesn't grow that way. A rose bush grows because someone is willing to cut it back. Even the healthy parts. Especially the healthy parts. In this episode, we're talking about one of the hardest leadership skills you'll ever develop: knowing when something needs to end. Most entrepreneurs don't have a growth problem. They have a pruning problem. They're carrying outdated commitments, underperforming team members, draining clients, unhealthy patterns, and old identities that no longer fit where they're trying to go. Inspired by the concepts from Necessary Endings, April explores why growth often requires subtraction before multiplication and why your next level may be waiting on a difficult decision you've been avoiding. Because sometimes the thing holding you back isn't what you're missing. It's what you're refusing to release. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why growth requires pruning, not just addition. The Rose Bush Principle and how it applies to leadership and business. The three types of things that require necessary endings. Why high performers often struggle most with letting go. The hidden cost of over-responsibility. The difference between hard decisions and harmful situations. How vision creates clarity around what belongs and what doesn't. Why awareness must come before action. The Three Types of Necessary Endings 1. Dead Things The obvious ones. The systems, relationships, projects, and people that are clearly no longer working. Yet somehow we keep feeding them. 2. Sick Things Not fully broken. Not fully healthy. They consume more energy than they create. They survive through constant management and emotional labor. 3. Good But No Longer Great The hardest category. Because they're still working. Still profitable. Still comfortable. But they no longer align with your next level. Key Takeaways ✅ Every level of growth requires letting go of something. ✅ Hard decisions are not necessarily harmful decisions. ✅ Leaders often stay stuck because they confuse loyalty with self-sacrifice. ✅ Vision creates filters. ✅ What you tolerate today becomes tomorrow's limitation. ✅ Awareness is the first step toward necessary endings. Quotes "You don't grow by adding more. You grow by cutting what no longer belongs." "A rose bush doesn't become stronger by keeping every branch. It grows because someone is willing to prune it." "Hard does not mean harmful." "Most leaders don't have a strategy problem. They have an ending problem." "What you're unwilling to release may be the very thing preventing your growth." Discussion Questions Business What needs a necessary ending in your business? What employee, client, process, or project is costing more than it's creating? What are you currently tolerating? Personal What relationship dynamic needs to end? What belief no longer serves you? What identity have you outgrown? The Four Power Questions What do I need to kill off in myself? What do I need to stop doing, thinking, or feeling? What do I need to say no to? Why does this matter for the life and business I say I want? Challenge This week, don't take action yet. Don't fire anyone. Don't quit anything. Don't make any dramatic moves. Just tell yourself the truth. Because once you see clearly what needs to end, you can no longer pretend it belongs. And that's where real change begins. ---------------- Want more tools to help you create momentum, clarity, and growth in your business and life? Ready to take this work beyond the podcast?

In this episode of the Church Revitalization Podcast, Scott and A.J. break down three distinct types of "gatekeepers" that show up in churches and how each one can quietly block healthy growth and mission. From information filters to change blockers to ego-driven power players, this conversation gives church leaders the language and insight to identify what might be holding their church back. The discussion is practical, honest, and backed by real consulting experience. Scott Ball and A.J. Mathieu are lead consultants at the Malphurs Group, a church health and revitalization consulting ministry that has worked with hundreds of churches across the country. Each week on the Church Revitalization Podcast, they bring field-tested insights to help pastors and church leaders navigate the real challenges of leading a church toward health and mission. Whether you are a longtime listener or just finding the show, you will find their conversations to be direct, grounded, and genuinely helpful.

Why do 70% of change efforts fail — even when leadership is fully committed? The answer isn't strategy or resources; it's the hidden stories people unknowingly carry that silently block every initiative.In this episode, Ronica Roth, author of “Practice Makes Culture” and co-founder of The Welcome Elephant, shares a practical framework for creating lasting organizational change. Drawing on 25 years of experience helping teams and companies transform, she explains why culture declarations and vision speeches alone never work — and what leaders at any level can do instead. Ronica introduces the concept of “welcoming elephants” — the emotional, systems, and room elephants that surface whenever change is attempted — and why acknowledging them is the first step toward real progress. She also unpacks why most culture lives beneath the surface, in hidden stories that employees carry without realizing it, and how those stories quietly undermine even well-designed initiatives.The conversation covers how to build psychological ownership so people invest in change rather than just comply with it, and why small, intentional daily practices — not grand overhauls — are what actually shift culture. The discussion also touches on applying these principles to AI transformation, where the emotional stakes are especially high and the hidden stories especially loud.Key topics discussed:Why 70% of change efforts fail — and what to do about itThe three types of “elephants” blocking organizational changeHidden stories: the invisible force sabotaging your cultureWhy declaring a new culture is necessary but not sufficientHow to create psychological ownership (not just buy-in)Using meetings as a daily practice for cultural changeLeading AI transformation with vulnerability and structureThe WOOP method for making personal behavior change stickTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:43) Why Ronica Write a Book About IT Culture?(00:05:14) What Are the Three Types of Elephants That Hold Organizations Back?(00:11:05) Why Do 70% of Change Efforts Fail?(00:15:45) How Does Ronica Define the Different Layers of Culture?(00:20:57) Why Is Declaring a New Culture Necessary But Not Sufficient?(00:23:12) What Are the Three Pillars of Your Cultural Transformation Framework?(00:39:28) How Can You Turn Meetings Into a Daily Practice for Cultural Change?(00:48:51) How Can Leaders Address the Emotional Elephant of AI Transformation?(00:56:13) Can You Apply These Culture Change Principles to Personal Growth?(01:02:06) What Are the Five Culture Hacks for Scaling Cultural Impact?(01:04:49) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Ronica Roth's BioRonica Roth is a transformation expert dedicated to revolutionizing how organizations work.

Trading Secrets - education, business & zesty Brazilian sauce
Send Us Your Questions & Feedback!Three years ago, my wife and I packed up our life in Boston and moved to Florida. No five-year plan. No spreadsheet of pros and cons. Just a gut feeling and a decision to go.This episode is about that move — but it's really about something bigger: the three types of people when it comes to change.The first one plans everything before they act. The second one plans so much they never move at all. The third one jumps in and figures it out on the way down. I'm the third type. Always have been.I get into the goods, the bads, and the ugly of starting over: keeping my 17-year Boston business alive from 1,200 miles away, learning to delegate when I thought nobody could do it better than me, walking into a more competitive market where literally nobody knew my name, and discovering a whole world of window treatments I'd never even heard of (hello, hurricane shutters and retractable awnings).Here's the heart of it: there's no right or wrong way to face change. There's just knowing who you are and acting like it.In this episode:The three mindsets people bring to risk and opportunityWhat it really takes to run a business long-distanceWhy letting go (delegating) was harder than the move itselfBuilding a network and referrals from zero in a brand-new marketThe Brazil deal that taught me "no risk, no upside"The Florida surprises I never planned for#Delegation #RemoteBusiness #FloridaBusiness #PodcastLife #MindsetMatters #RiskAndReward #SmallBusinessDecisions
Welcome to The Collective Table, where we celebrate the intersections of Jesus, justice, and joy. In this special Pride Sunday teaching, Co-Lead Pastor Jason Coker continues The Spirit of Action series by diving into Acts 10:44-48. Jason challenges listeners to examine how they read Scripture—whether as a "child" demanding strict obedience, a "geek" lost in ancient contexts, or a "prophet" who sees the broader picture of God's radically inclusive love. Through the story of Peter and Cornelius, he illustrates how the Holy Spirit constantly crosses human boundaries to include those marginalized by society. Reminding us that rules exist for human good, Jason calls the church to act with prophetic urgency—like an ambulance rushing to save a life—to fully affirm, protect, and celebrate our queer siblings.

As every great founder will tell you, trading time for money is a losing game. Ownership is how wealth actually gets built. Come to Main Street Millionaire Live and learn how — http://info.contrarianthinking.co/msmlbig-deal You've got the skill. You've got the product. But every time you talk to a wealthy buyer, you drop your price before they even ask. Here's the truth: broke people buy for price. Rich people buy for risk mitigation. And if you're still leading with "affordable," you've already lost the sale. In this episode, you'll learn: The four currencies wealthy buyers protect above all else: time, risk, reputation, and control, and why price doesn't even make the list Why ego kills deals and how to turn your buyer into an ally instead of making them defend their identity The EGO framework: Earn, Gap, Outcome, and how to diagnose instead of describe so you sound like an expert, not a salesperson How to anchor the conversation around consequence, not cost, so price becomes irrelevant The three buyer types: optimizer, delegator, and rationalizer, and why each one needs a completely different close Why "just checking in" is the most useless sentence in sales and the three piece follow up framework that actually gets responses: Point, Proof, Path The premium close that gives control back to the buyer and makes them feel smart for saying yes Stop apologizing for your price. Start solving expensive problems. Rich buyers don't want cheap. They want certainty. ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: Why Rich People Don't Care About Your Price (00:01:02) The Four Currencies Rich Buyers Protect With Their Lives (00:03:59) The Ego Framework: Earn, Gap, Outcome (00:06:30) Stop Describing, Start Diagnosing: The Authority Shift (00:12:54) The Three Types of Rich Buyers and How to Close Each One (00:17:09) The Premium Close: Options, Recommendation, Reason, Next Step (00:19:42) Say the Number and Shut Up: The Silence After Price (00:23:01) The Three-Piece Follow-Up: Point, Proof, Path (00:26:23) The Prize Is Trust, Not Money: Building Referral Engines (00:26:57) Clear Over Cheap: Selling Like an Operator ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode has mentions of self-harm, violence, and assault. Viewer discretion is advised.-----Hellloooo MOSSIES, another MOS day has come around and after much coaxing, pleading, and only a little bit of bribing, we have a very special much-requested guest gracing us with her presence in the studio! The most gorgeous MISS KAREEMA BARRY has returned and this time we actually gave her a chance to speak, we promise.Kareema got us reminiscing about the days of yore (early 20s, college, and singlehood) but the nostalgia soon turned into horror as we heard some of her tales of young online courtship. Our listeners too SHOWED UP when it came to relationship horror stories and we did a deep dive into our audience's experiences with Italian serial killers, middle-of-the-road abandoners and men that give a whole new meaning to being a cokehead. There was a short review of Netflix's new “Should I marry a murderer?” (spoiler: don't) and we then debated some of the most pressing questions of our times like - are the dating prospects better in delhi or mumbai or kolkata or bangalore? Are car fights actually the best kind of fights? Would you call your mom if your hookup tried to kill you? Who let the dogs out? Watch the episode to find out!PS - There is a mention of a certain ‘silk man' towards the end of the pod, which was related to a story we had to edit out of the final cut (sorry for the confusion but this is one secret we can never tell).And finally, we are once again asking you to get us to 100k by liking sharing commenting subscribing hyping.

Most people think leadership starts when someone gives them authority.I don't think that's true.One of the ideas that kept coming up in my conversation with Keith Ferrazzi is that leadership is rarely granted before it's demonstrated. The people who create outsized impact inside organizations aren't waiting for the title, the promotion, or the perfect moment. They're already acting like leaders long before anyone officially calls them one.That matters more today than ever.The pace of change is accelerating. Industries are being reshaped by AI, supply chain volatility, shifting markets, and entirely new ways of working. In that environment, technical expertise alone isn't enough. The people who continue to grow are the ones who know how to learn faster, build stronger relationships, challenge ideas constructively, and bring others with them.Keith has spent decades studying high-performing teams and advising some of the world's largest organizations. What stood out to me most wasn't a complicated leadership framework. It was how much of great leadership comes down to simple, repeatable practices that most teams never adopt.The uncomfortable reality is that most teams are mediocre. They avoid conflict. They don't challenge each other when it matters. They don't hold each other accountable. They don't create the kind of trust that allows great work to happen.The good news is that you don't need permission to change that.This conversation explores what it means to lead without authority, how high-performing teams are built through practice rather than personality, and why taking responsibility for your own growth is still one of the highest leverage decisions you can make.If you're early in your leadership journey, this episode is a blueprint. If you've been leading for years, it's a reminder that the fundamentals still matter.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS[00:00] Intro[04:28] Is the MBA Still Worth It in an AI-Driven World?[07:48] Why Relationships Drive Opportunity, Learning, and Execution[12:08] Why Most Teams Never Reach High Performance[15:09] The Stress Test Framework for Better Team Decisions[19:58] Building Teams That Care About Each Other's Energy[21:53] The Three Types of Trust Every Leader Must Understand[26:00] Why Most Leaders Are Still Mediocre[29:37] Building a Peer Group That Won't Let You FailKEY TAKEAWAYSLeadership begins before you receive a title or formal authorityThe fastest learners build relationships with people already doing what they aspire to doEverything meaningful in your career happens with and through other peopleHigh-performing teams are built through practice, not personalityMost teams avoid the difficult conversations that create trust and accountabilityTrust is not one thing; it includes personal, professional, and structural trustChanging behavior is often easier than changing mindsetSimple collaboration practices can dramatically improve team performanceThe bar for exceptional leadership is lower than most people realizeTaking responsibility for your own development is a competitive advantageLinks & ResourcesKeith FerrazziLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/keithferrazziWebsite: https://ferrazzigreenlight.com/Book: https://shop.givingtons.com/products/never-lead-aloneMatt GjertsenWebsite: https://www.bettereverydaystudios.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgjertsen/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetterEveryDayStudios
In the May 2026 Mailbag, Jason and Jeff tackle a series of compelling listener questions, starting with a deep dive into whether "vibe coding" and agentic AI are truly an existential threat to major SaaS companies like Salesforce and Snowflake. The duo also untangles the complicated corporate web of Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC vs. BIP), exploring why the company might finally be moving to ditch its limited partnership structure. Later, they revisit the ongoing struggles at The Trade Desk, debate the concept of "regret minimization" when dealing with massive winners like Rocket Lab and Nvidia, and discuss how to properly balance single-company risk versus overall portfolio volatility. 00:48 West Coast Game Time Rant 02:46 Mailbag and Discord Shoutout 03:56 Ryan Email and Mascot Story 05:47 Baseball Chaos to Investing Lesson 07:47 AI Versus SaaS Debate 11:15 Pricing Models and Moats 22:11 Brookfield BIP Versus BIPC Explained 26:38 Why BIPC Dropped and Simplification 30:25 Discord Questions Teaser 30:52 Trade Desk Doubts 35:54 Valuation Reality Check 38:55 Execution Not Value 40:10 Rocket Lab Concentration 41:55 Regret Minimization 46:55 Singles vs Home Runs 49:22 Vinnie Risk Trimming 50:06 Three Types of Risk 54:50 Money Unplugged Reflections Companies mentioned: ADBE, ADSK, BAM, BEP, BEPC, BIP, BIPC, CRM, NBIS, NVDA, RKLB, SHOP, SNOW, TTD Find where to listen & subscribe, portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com ***************************************** To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscripted Listen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

Have you ever designed a space that looked beautiful… but somehow didn't feel right to live in?As interior designers, we're trained to focus on the visible—colors, materials, layouts, and architectural elements. But what if the real purpose of design goes deeper than aesthetics? What if the home isn't the final product—but the medium that shapes human happiness, relationship quality, and overall well-being?In this episode, I sit down with architect Talor Stewart to explore the powerful concept of conscious home design—a framework that goes beyond surface-level beauty and taps into scientific principles, human needs, and the emotional experience of living in a space. If you want to create homes that truly transform your clients' lives (and elevate your design process), this conversation will change how you approach every project moving forward.Featured GuestTalor Stewart is a licensed architect with over 25 years of experience, specializing in residential architecture and intentional communities. He is the author of Conscious Home Design, a #1 bestselling book in seven countries, and the creator of the Conscious Home Design certification program. His work bridges the gap between design and human well-being, helping architects and designers create homes that support happiness, health, and personal growth.What You'll Learn in This Episode✳️ Why homes are a medium, not an end result✳️ How design impacts human happiness and relationships✳️ Three relationship types every home should support✳️ Using Maslow's hierarchy in design decisions✳️ Scientific principles that improve home environmentsRead the Blog >>> 5 Principles for Healthier, Happier Home DesignNEXT STEPS:
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 25 minutesSynopsis: This morning (5/8/26), in our Friday morning Sefer Iyov series for women, we review what we covered last time, then learned and discussed the rest of the Rambam's Moreh ha'Nevuchim 3:12, in which he outlines the three types of ra that befall human beings. In addition to the points explicitly raised by the Rambam, we also discussed why these types of ra MUST exist. This may be our last shiur in this "Rambam on the Satan and Ra" subseries within our larger series on Iyov.-----מקורות:רמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:יבR.

The debate about whether Australian podiatrists should use the title Dr regularly resurfaces within the profession, usually at least once per year. In this solo episode, I explore the psychology, professional identity, and patient perception behind the discussion. I also examine common arguments raised in the debate, including concerns about academic qualifications, potential patient confusion, and the influence of professional hierarchy. He also highlights the important distinction between research expertise and clinical experience. By introducing concepts such as The Authority Illusion and The Three Types of Authority in Healthcare, this episode offers a balanced perspective on how authority is perceived by patients and what ultimately matters most in clinical practice. Key Takeaways • The Dr title debate resurfaces regularly within podiatry. • In Australia, podiatrists can legally use the title Dr if they clearly identify themselves as podiatrists. • Much of the debate centres around professional identity rather than legality. • A PhD represents research expertise, not necessarily clinical expertise. • Clinical excellence develops through patient experience and repetition. • Patients often judge authority using visual and psychological signals. • Titles function as credibility shortcuts in decision making. • Healthcare authority comes from academic, clinical, and perceived sources. • First impressions influence patient choices, but clinical results build long-term trust. • Professional behaviour and respect within the profession ultimately matter more than titles.

What if the constant thoughts about food you deal with every day aren't a lack of discipline… but your body trying to tell you something important? In this episode, we'll break down what “food noise” actually is and why it's become such a common struggle for women who feel like they're always thinking about their next meal. While the current conversation often points to quick fixes or appetite-suppressing solutions, we'll take a different approach. One rooted in understanding the body, not silencing it. Food noise isn't random, and it's not just mental. It's deeply connected to your metabolism, hormones, and nervous system. We'll walk through the three core drivers behind food noise: restriction, highly processed foods, and deeper biological dysregulation. From there, we'll zoom in on what's happening inside your body when those signals get louder covering blood sugar instability, chronic stress and cortisol, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, and inflammation. You'll start to see how things like cravings, urgency around food, and feeling out of control aren't personality flaws—they're physiological responses. We'll also explain why intuitive eating can feel impossible when your internal signals are dysregulated, and why simply “trying harder” often makes things worse. Most importantly, we give you practical, actionable ways to start calming the noise by supporting your body without extremes or all-or-nothing thinking. If you've ever felt like you're constantly negotiating with yourself around food, this conversation will connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense. Because the goal isn't to fight your body. It's to understand it. And when you do, the noise doesn't need to be forced quiet… it naturally starts to fade.

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeIf you've ever stared at the ceiling at 3 AM wondering why your brain won't shut off, this episode is for you. Therapist and sleep specialist Kathleen Saucier joins the Graced Health Podcast to break down CBTI — the evidence-based method that outperforms sleep medication and is recommended as a frontline treatment even for sleep apnea. From why lying in bed too long is actually making things worse, to the simple cognitive shift that can rewire how your brain approaches sleep, Kathleen makes the science approachable and the solutions actionable. If you've accepted poor sleep as just part of life — especially through the hormonal changes of midlife — this conversation might change everything. Kathleen is a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience in community mental health, trauma, domestic violence, military and first responder support, and substance use treatment. She is also trained in equine-assisted therapy and CBTI, and completed her CBTI certification at the University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Perlis, one of the leading experts in the field.

90% of agencies never sell, and most owners who do sell hate the price they get. This episode breaks down the boring work that separates the rare agencies that actually exit well from the ones that underperform. Our guest Nick Avaria is the founder of Agency Acquisitions out of Vancouver, Canada. His goal is to help reward people in agencies for their hard work, whether they're agency owners or employees. He developed "The Agency Economics Thesis" that has scaled multitudes of successful companies. www.agencyacquisitions.io | LinkedIn: / nickavaria What you'll learn: →Why the best-run agencies are the ones about to be sold, and how to build that way on purpose. →The churn math that can double or quadruple your top line without adding a single new client. →What actually separates the 3-in-10,000 agencies that reach $10M in revenue. →The 100-day client onboarding philosophy that builds habitual trust. →The "bathtub effect" quietly killing your retention between sale and first monthly meeting. →The three types of insights every B2B client needs, and why missing one gets you fired. →The $100 pen problem and why your best work still loses the client.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/4crfdEr David Bahnsen hosts Dividend Cafe focusing on AI's disruptive impact on software and investing, postponing further Iran/market commentary until Monday despite positive Strait of Hormuz news. He outlines three AI company categories: hyperscalers (Google, Microsoft, Meta), “pick-and-shovel” providers (e.g., Nvidia, Broadcom), and AI labs/LLM makers, noting competitive tensions within and across these groups. He argues AI's technological progress is real, especially agentic AI and coding automation, but commercial outcomes are complex and not “doom” for all enterprise software; markets adapt as with past internet, social media, and e-commerce disruptions. AI can lower switching costs and pressure code-only business models, yet adoption is constrained by integration speed, energy/compute costs, and need for human validation. He favors software firms with moats beyond code—data, brand, and service/solution models—positioning AI as opportunity. He also highlights rising tech exposure across IG, HY, and loan markets, implying credit risk debates extend beyond private credit. 00:00 Welcome and Context 01:14 AI Disruption Takes Center Stage 02:04 Three Types of AI Players 03:48 Hype Meets Market Reality 07:49 Agentic AI and Real Limits 10:50 Switching Costs and Early Adoption 16:34 Jobs Data and Diffusion Constraints 21:47 Moats and Anti Fragile SaaS 24:41 Investment Takeaways on Winners 26:33 Chart of the Week Credit Exposure 28:02 Closing and Next Episode Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
Get-Fit Guy's Quick and Dirty Tips to Slim Down and Shape Up
697. Most people think "fitness" is just about how you look at the beach or your 5K time. But after two decades of coaching, host Kevin Don has realized that what people actually want isn't bigger biceps—it's to be happy. This week, we look back at an episode from step away from November 2024. We look at the squat rack and into the world of philosophy to answer a bold question: Which mode of exercise will actually increase your happiness the most?Drawing from Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," Kevin explores the concept of eudaemonia (human flourishing) and why true "fitness" requires exercising your virtues rather than just your muscles. If you've ever felt like a new gym PR or a lower number on the scale didn't provide the fulfillment you expected, this episode explains why.In this episode, we discuss:The Puzzle of Identity: A quick (and nerdy) dive into Bertrand Russell's theory of definite descriptions.Why Fitness Isn't Compartmentalized: Moving toward a "whole" definition of health that permeates every facet of your life.The Greatest Self-Help Book of All Time: An introduction to Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" and its relevance to modern wellness.The Doctrine of the Mean: How finding the balance between deficiency and excess (like courage vs. recklessness) creates a harmonious life.Practical Wisdom (Phronesis): Why knowing what is "good" in theory isn't enough—you have to practice it in real-life situations.The Three Types of Friendship: Why your social circle is a crucial component of your physical and mental flourishing.Get-Fit Guy is a Quick and Dirty podcast.

Nick Bostrom saw the AI revolution coming before it was taken seriously. When he warned about superintelligence in 2014, AI risk was dismissed by mainstream academia and the public. Now, as AI reshapes the future of work and human purpose, he has moved from warning about its risks to exploring a future where AI solves everything, and humans are left searching for new meaning. In this episode, Nick shares how artificial intelligence could end human labor and what that means for purpose, entrepreneurship, and humanity's future. In this episode, Hala and Nick will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:35) Are We Living in a Simulation? (11:48) Moral Implications of a Simulated Reality (22:28) The Fermi Paradox and the Doomsday Argument (30:29) Is AI Bigger Than the Industrial Revolution? (38:26) Three Types of AI and How They Work (41:43) The Risks of Advanced AI Systems (49:15) Finding Purpose in a Solved World (57:26) Beating Boredom and Artificial Purpose (01:08:07) Entrepreneurship's Place in an AI-Driven Future Nick Bostrom is a philosopher and leading expert on artificial intelligence and existential risk. He is the founding director of the now-defunct Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University and the bestselling author of Superintelligence and Deep Utopia. His work has shaped global conversations on AI safety, long-term human survival, and the future of advanced technology.

Written roughly 80 years ago, this book laid the intellectual foundation for how life insurance should actually be understood, not as a death benefit waiting to pay out, but as income protection against every form of economic death a family can face.

Huebner lays out three distinct forms of economic death: physical death, total and permanent disability, and retirement. Only one of them puts you in the ground. All three wipe out your income. The fire insurance comparison should be uncomfortable. Half of American homes carry fire insurance against an event that, if it occurs, destroys roughly 10% of the property on average. Death is a 100% certain event that produces a 100% loss of income. The 1 in 3 statistic reframes everything. At age 30, roughly one in three workers will not reach the standard retirement age of 65. If you would not board a plane that had a 1 in 3 chance of not landing, you should not leave your family's financial future unprotected against those same odds.Disability is the most expensive form of economic death, not physical death. When you die, your income stops and so do your resource needs. When you become totally and permanently disabled, your income stops and your resource needs increase, often dramatically, over a long period of time. The waiver of premium rider is the one financial asset that keeps feeding itself when you can't. If you become disabled and lose your income, contributions to your brokerage stop, your savings account stops growing, your real estate stops getting funded. Not insuring your human life value is a moral failure, not just a financial one. Huebner's language is direct and Hans does not soften it. If you understand the risk and choose not to protect against it, the loss does not fall on you. It falls on your wife and your children.

In this conversation, Dr. Tara and Dr. Michelle explore the complexities of hunger, breaking it down into three distinct types: stomach hunger, head hunger, and heart hunger. They discuss how understanding these different hunger sensations can aid in weight loss and metabolic health. Their conversation dives into intuitive eating, the role of community support in behaviour change, and the need for emotional processing when dealing with heart hunger. They also highlight the confusion many people face regarding their body's signals and the impact of modern technology on our relationship with food. Dr. Tara and Dr. Michelle emphasize the need for simplicity in nutrition and the significance of finding joy beyond food. Takeaways There are three types of hunger: stomach, head, and heart hunger. Stomach hunger is genuine hunger that requires food for satisfaction. Head hunger is habitual eating, often tied to routines or schedules. Heart hunger involves using food to cope with emotions or feelings. Many people confuse hunger with thirst, leading to misinterpretation of bodily signals. Wearable devices can lead to detachment from intuitive knowledge about our bodies. True hunger sensations should be addressed with appropriate food intake. Head hunger can be easier to overcome by changing habits and environments. Heart hunger requires emotional processing and support to navigate effectively. Community support is crucial for behavior change and overcoming challenges. Dopamine can create a temporary positive feeling, but long-term change requires emotional regulation. Feeling lonely and asking for help is crucial for personal growth. Community support is essential for maintaining behavioral changes. Health minimalism focuses on simplifying nutrition to avoid decision fatigue. Joy can be derived from connections and experiences beyond food. Choosing to change is hard, but so is staying the same. Self-trust and integrity are key to maintaining health changes. Behavioral change is the foundation of sustainable weight loss. It's important to process emotions rather than avoid them. Long-term success requires tools and resources beyond initial plans.

Pastor Seth Troutt teaches on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints in this message from our series, "The Glory of Salvation." What happens between the moment you're saved and the day you die or Jesus returns? Can a true Christian lose their salvation? Working from Jeremiah 32, John 10, and other key passages, Pastor Seth explains why those who have been truly born again cannot be “unborn again,” how God holds His people fast, and what the Bible says about genuine faith, vain faith, and weak faith. He also helps us think through assurance of salvation, eternal security, and how to respond when people appear to walk away from the faith.This sermon is part of our broader exploration of salvation—its process, its promises, and its hope for this life and the life to come.00:00 - Introduction11:02 - Two types of Faith12:12 - Genuine Faith17:29 - Vain Faith26:45 - Two Sides of Perseverance27:47 - Three Types of People**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/
You're not losing because you lack talent. You're losing because you're focused on the wrong thing. Most people obsess over results — the money, the body, the relationship, the success. But winners don't worship outcomes. They build systems. In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, we break down why focusing on the result keeps you stuck — and how shifting to solution thinking changes everything. If you've been: • Starting strong but falling off • Setting goals but not seeing progress • Working hard but not moving forward • Believing… but still stuck at the 6-yard line This conversation is for you. We dive into: • The difference between victim thinking and architect thinking • Why belief determines your level of commitment • How focusing on solutions restores power over your life • Why consistency without the right system is rehearsed failure • The mental shift that separates dreamers from disciplined winners You don't rise to your goals. You rise to your systems. If you're tired of chasing results and ready to start designing them, this episode will shift your focus.

Welcome to Week 1 of our new series, Everyday Disciple. Most of us wouldn't describe our daily lives as "extraordinary"—they feel routine, predictable, and very ordinary. Yet, the Gospels show us that Jesus didn't scout the religious elite; He called ordinary, everyday people to rearrange their lives around Him. In this kickoff message, Lead Pastor Jason Britt looks at the life of Peter—a man defined by his impulsive passion and his infamous failure. We often think being a disciple means having it all together, but disciples aren't perfect people; they are people who are in training. Whether you are dealing with regrets of action, inaction, or reaction, discover why your worst moment doesn't have to be your defining moment. In the hands of Jesus, regret isn't the end of your story—it's where redemption begins.

Your team isn't enough. If no one knows who you are, you're starting every conversation from zero. In this episode, I break down why the founders who are winning right now are visible, how to build a personal brand without becoming an influencer, and the exact framework I used to grow both my personal following and my startup, Rella. Whether you're B2B, consumer, or anywhere in between—this is your roadmap to building trust, standing out, and making sure you don't look back in two years wishing you had started today. 0:00 - The Wake-Up Call: Why Distribution is Everything 1:26 - The Trust Factor: Why People Buy From People They Know 3:34 - Three Types of Personal Brands (And Which One You Should Build) Expert, Entertainer, or Product Extension—find your approach 5:50 - The Regret Conversation: What Every Founder Wishes They Started Earlier 7:27 - The Action Plan: How to Actually Start Building Your Brand 9:52 - The Mindset Shift: This is Not a Waste of Time Learn more about your ad choices.

You’ve heard people say, “Sales is a grind.” And they’re right. Sales requires relentless effort. You’ve got to make the calls, run the process, deal with internal roadblocks, handle piles of rejection, and show up every day with a smile on your face, ready to do it all over again. But the dirty little secret is that plenty of salespeople push through the grind day after day and still don’t seem to get ahead. They put in the effort and work hard, but get nowhere. All grind, but little progress. Here’s the truth they don’t always tell you: You can grind yourself into the ground and still fail if you don’t have the right mindset and belief system underpinning that effort. To keep it real, I’m the person who shouts from the rooftops that you’ve got to “grind to shine.” I say that in my book Fanatical Prospecting. It’s printed on coffee mugs. I love that mantra because it’s about doing the things other people are unwilling to do. But raw grind isn’t always enough. Sometimes, we need to pair grinding it out with tenacity. Tenacity is a Sustainable Sales Trait In sales, tenacity is a more sustainable trait than raw grind or pure persistence because tenacity combines persistent determination with process certainty and strategy. Grind is about doing the daily, repetitive, rejection-dense work required for success, but it can quickly lead to frustration and burnout when it isn't paired with enduring faith that the hard work is going to pay off. Tenacity, on the other hand, is grinding combined with the absolute certainty that what you expect to happen is eventually going to happen. That’s the difference between the rep who grinds hard for a quarter, feels that they are getting nowhere, and burns out because they’re not seeing results, and the sales professional who consistently runs the sales playbook, without immediate evidence that it’s working, because they have faith that the process will eventually produce their desired outcomes. Uncertainty Causes You to Constantly Change Your Approach One big problem with grinding without certainty is that when results don’t show up on your impatient timeline, you start changing everything. You make 100 calls this week using one approach. Next week, you try a different script. The week after that, you switch your targeting. Then you read an article about social selling and abandon cold calling altogether. You’re working hard, but you’re also second-guessing every move. You change your messaging before you’ve run it long enough to know if it works. You abandon techniques after a handful of attempts. You skip or change steps in your company’s sales process after a couple of deals don't go your way. When you put in massive effort, but spread that effort across ten different approaches instead of trusting the proven process and playbook long enough to let it produce results, you end up in an exhausting, demoralizing quagmire of chaos and eventually give up. The True Meaning of Process Certainty When I say “certainty,” I’m not talking about positive thinking or affirmations or manifestation or any of that rah-rah motivational stuff. Certainty in sales means knowing—not hoping, but knowing—that if you do the right things the right way for long enough, the outcomes are inevitable. That you get the Sales Gravy. That’s what allows tenacious salespeople to keep grinding when others quit. They’re not grinding on blind faith. They’re grinding on proven evidence that the process works. For example, in Fanatical Prospecting, I explain the 30 Day Rule, which states that the prospecting you do in any given 30 days tends to pay off over the next 90 days. The 30-day rule is always in play. It is proven. It is truth. But you'll never see it work if your prospecting is sporadic rather than consistently executed every single day. The Three Types of Certainty that Power the Tenacity Engine If you want to develop real tenacity—the kind that sustains you through tough markets, rough quarters, and slumps—you need to build certainty in three core areas. 1. Certainty in Your Value You need conviction that what you’re selling genuinely improves your customers' businesses in a meaningful way. When you have that certainty, something shifts. You stop feeling like you’re bothering people or being pushy and start feeling like you are helping them. That you belong there. And buyers can feel this difference. They sense and respond to your confidence, enthusiasm, and passion for helping them. Which gives you even more certainty. 2. Certainty in Your Process You need confidence that your sales process and playbook actually work. Most sellers have been provided a proven, repeatable approach to building pipeline, qualifying opportunities, running discovery, handling objections, building consensus, negotiating, and closing business. If you don't have a process, read or listen to my books Fanatical Prospecting, The LinkedIn Edge, Sales EQ, Objections, Virtual Selling, and Inked. Collectively, these books give you a powerful playbook for success. But regardless of whether you get your playbook from your company or me, believing that it will work for you is a choice and mindset that only you can step into. If you are constantly second-guessing the process every time things don't work out the way you want them to, you are doomed to frustration and failure. You'll be a slave to flavor-of-the-day thinking and winging it from call to call and situation to situation. But when you trust the process, you'll be steady, consistent, and confident. And you'll relax because you know that you won't win every time, no one does, but over time, because your process is proven, win probability is in your favor. 3. Certainty in Probability This is the big one. You need certainty that the math works in your favor over time. The simple truth is that sales is a numbers game played with human emotions. Not every call will book a meeting. Not every meeting will turn into an opportunity. Not every opportunity will close. But if you control the inputs—activity level, message quality, process execution—the outputs become predictable and win probability bends in your favor. Ultra-high performers understand this at a bone-deep level. They know their numbers and conversion rates. This gives them certainty that the statistics are working in their favor. On the other hand, the reps who are winging it are sky high when something goes well and in the dumps when things don't—without knowing what they did in either situation to affect the outcome. And it is on this emotional roller coaster where they eventually burn out and quit. Top performers never board this emotional roller coaster because they’re anchored to math, not mood. How to Transform Sales Grind into Certainty-Fueled Tenacity Maybe you’re thinking, “Jeb, this all sounds great, but how do I build this certainty that you speak of?” Fair question. Here are four ways: Track Process Metrics, Not Just Outcomes If you only measure outcomes—meetings set, deals closed, revenue generated—you’re going to struggle with certainty during the lag time between the grind and results. So instead, track the inputs like calls, conversation ratios, meetings, next step advances, or proposals delivered. When you measure the right activities, you can see progress and celebrate small wins even when results aren't there yet. This builds certainty that the process is working, which sustains your effort through the gap. Practice Until You Don’t Have to Think Competence begets certainty. Competence comes from practice and repetition. Role-play your cold calls. Rehearse your discovery questions. Murder-board your presentations. Practice, practice, practice your sales story, messaging, and handling objections. Record yourself doing it and watch it back. When you’ve practiced something until it is pure muscle memory, you don’t get nervous when it matters. You don’t freeze up or get embarrassed when you fumble. You execute with relaxed confidence. Emotionally Detach from Individual Deals The fastest way to lose certainty is to attach your identity to one opportunity. Tenacious sellers want to win every deal, but they don’t need to win every deal to feel okay about themselves. They treat each opportunity like one at-bat in a long season. Emotional detachment isn’t indifference. It’s a form of professionalism. It’s caring about the outcome without being controlled by it. Install a Mental Script for Rejection When you get rejected, it hurts, and your brain immediately tries to explain why. When you are in pain, it is super easy to default to stories that weaken your mindset and belief system. You say things to yourself like, “I’m not good at this or this isn't working.” Tenacious sellers consciously replace that story with self-talk that maintains certainty. “Not now isn’t never.” “This is part of the math.” My inputs are correct, I executed my process, but this just wasn't the right time for this buyer.” This is how top salespeople think because they know that the greatest threat to tenacity isn’t the rejection, it’s the meaning you assign to the rejection. Grinding Without Certainty is Just Another Form of Suffering Sales will always be a grind. The calls don’t make themselves. The pipeline doesn’t fill itself. The deals don’t close themselves. But grinding without certainty is just another form of suffering. It’s unsustainable. Eventually, you get frustrated, burn out, and give up. Certainty doesn’t eliminate the hard work, but it does make the hard work sustainable. So if you’re grinding right now and not seeing the results you want, don’t just grind harder. Build certainty. Get clear on the value you deliver. Trust your process. Know your numbers. Track the inputs. Practice your craft. Because tenacity isn’t about being tougher than everyone else. It’s about being certain enough to keep going when everyone else quits. And remember, when you are tired, worn down, and feel like you can’t take another objection, when all you want to do is quit and go home, always stop and make one more call. Because that one more call is the ultimate demonstration of your trust in the process. Get your tickets today to OutBound – the world’s biggest, baddest sales and leadership training conference.

On Amazon, if you're a seller, you're either a reseller or you're selling your own brand. That's it, right? Not so fast - there's an entirely new kind of reseller emerging and there's an important distinction to be made. This NEW kind of reseller wants: -lower risk decisions -zero chance of going to deep on a bad ASIN -higher margin opportunities -software that does most of the heavy lifting -an end to the constant dread of ASINs that die off -no fear of gating issues -true diversification of their catalog -a business that can be scaled and ran by a tiny team without outside help Reselling on Amazon is getting better because of TOOLS and STRATEGIES- and while the OLD way of "hunting for winners constantly" is still beautiful and serves many sellers quite well, the NEW way (aka 3PMercury) is so user friendly and low risk in comparison!
