Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Still unsure what to charge for your agency services? Scared to raise your rates in case clients leave? If you're like many agency owners who are busy as hell but barely turning a profit, it's time to face a hard truth: your profit model might be broken. Fixing it isn't about selling more… it's about keeping more. In this episode, we break down the pricing strategy you need to attract high-quality clients, boost profits, and finally charge what you're worth. Stop Selling Time The first mindset shift you need: Your value isn't in the hours you clock, it's in the outcomes you deliver and the confidence you bring. If you're still selling time or generic services, AI is your biggest competitor right now. But if you position your agency as a niche expert, you become irreplaceable. Clients pay for leadership, not tasks. 3 Core Agency Pricing Models (and Where They Break) 1. Hourly Pricing Punishes efficiency: work faster, get paid less. It also attracts micromanaging clients who treat your team like task rabbits. 2. Project-Based Pricing Scope, deliver, get paid. Works for one-off builds like websites, but it traps you in feast-or-famine if you aren't stacking and upselling strategically. 3. Value-Based Pricing This is where serious growth happens. Instead of selling a website, you sell a result like converting traffic into sales. You price outcomes, not hours. Common Pricing Mistakes We see it all the time: Underpricing to “close the deal.” Using one-size-fits-all pricing. Failing to adapt pricing to market demand. Giving away strategy for free. Make Your Pricing Work for Your Growth Find your ideal client. Not everyone deserves a proposal. Shape your messaging to attract clients who want to pay for results. Know your margins. You can't price confidently if you don't know your true delivery costs. Price for profit, not survival. If you're scraping by every month, you're running a hobby, not a business. Position as a partner, not a vendor. Premium clients want an advisor, not a task-doer. Where to Start Define your freedom goal. Price to support the life you want, not just your expenses. Say your price with confidence. Nervous energy kills deals. Say it, then stop talking and let it land. Anchor to outcomes. Tie your price to the results you create, not the tasks you deliver. Treat pricing like a stock. Demand goes up, so do your rates. Use milestone-based increases. Got ten new clients? Raise your rates for the next ten. Once there's a gap between your old and new rates, circle back and raise your legacy clients. Pricing isn't just a number, it's your positioning and the path to building an agency that buys back your freedom. Go back, tighten your offers, raise your rates if they're due, and say that number with confidence. Because once you believe you're worth it, your clients will too. Want Help Making This Shift?

Putni un cilvēki pilsētās dala teritoriju - ne tikai gaisa telpu. Tie drīzāk ir parki, bēniņi un dažreiz arī citas vietas. Kā sadzīvot ar putniem pilsētā un ko ņemt vērā, lai putni un cilvēki labi justos urbānajā kopdzīvē, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Diskutē Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības prezidente Antra Stīpniece, ornitologs Ruslans Matrozis un Slimību profilakses un kontroles centra epidemioloģe Antra Bormane. Pēdējos 15 gados  Rīgā novērotas ap 270 putnu sugas. Rīga ir migrācijas vieta, jo pāri pilsētai iet Baltijas jūras migrācijas ceļš, skaidro Ruslans Matrozis. "Pie mums ir putnu sugu daudzveidība un arī skaits diezgan liels." "Daudzas sugas izvēlas dzīvi pilsētā, jo temperatūra ziemā ir augstāka. Ir labumi no tā, ir sliktumi. Meža pūcei bērni uzrodas agrāk nekā ārpus pilsētas, jo te traucē arī mākslīgais apgaismojums. Lielais ķīris bija visā reģionā 70.- 80. gados, kad mainījās barošanās apstākļi, populācija saruka,"norāda Antra Stīpniece. Lielā ķīra populācija ir sarukusi, bet sudrabkaija nē, tāpēc nevajag vieglprātīgi, piemēram, autoostas teritorijā Rīgā staigāt ar smalkmaizīti rokās.  "Ja kāds iet pa ielu, vieglprātīgi, izklaidīgi ēzdams, viņu varu apzagt," brīdina Antra Stīpniece. "Tas nav īpašs naids pret cilvēku ar smalkmaizīti, arī dabā kaijas vienu daļu pārtikas iegūst zogot. Ejat gar jūras krastu ziemā, tur ir pīļu bariņš, kas ienirst un iznirst, bet tur vienmēr ir kā bāka viens vai divi balti punkti. Sudrabkaija dežurē un ievāc meslus." Putnus pilsētā ietekmē traucējums, piemēram, palielinās ūdenstransporta skaits un cilvēki iebrauc arī dažādās vietās, kur putni ligzdo, tādejādi viņus traucē. Piemēram, ar viļņiem var noskalot atsevišķu sugu ierīkotās ligzdas. Cilvēki to nesaprot, lai arī ir ātruma ierobežojums noteikts, cilvēki to neievēro. "Otrs - cilvēkiem patīk makšķerēt, viņi izmanto dažādu rīkus un pēc tam redzam jūras krastā beigtus putnus, kas savainojušies ar makšķerauklu, ar svinu saindējušies. Ūdeņos ir daudz svina," par to, kas kaitē putniem stāsta Ruslans Matrozis.

250723_22_TYZDEN_1 Celý článok nájdete TU: https://www.teraz.sk/publicistika . Bratislava 26. júla (Teraz.sk) – Predseda vlády, ktorý by sám dlhodobo vetoval rozhodnutie všetkých ostatných členských štátov Európskej únie, sa ešte nenarodil. Slovenský premiér Robert Fico (Smer-SD) pri rokovaniach o protiruských sankciách „naťahoval čas“, aby získal od Európskej komisie garancie pomoci pri riešení definitívneho odstrihnutia Slovenska od ruského plynu, ale napokon, podľa očakávaní, schválenie 18. balíčka protiruských sankcií umožnil. V TASR TV to povedal publicista Juraj Hrabko. . Pri svojej zdržiavacej taktike podľa Hrabka premiér využil aj kritické vyhlásenia slovenskej opozície, ktorej umožnil vopred zaujať stanovisko k listu predsedníčky Európskej komisie (EK) Ursuly von der Leyenovej s ponukou garancií. „Tie garancie nemôžu byť iné ako politické, takže politické garancie tam sú,“ upozornil Hrabko...

In this episode of Investor Connect, Hall T. Martin welcomes Anshuman Sinha, a veteran entrepreneur, angel investor, and fundraising strategist who's making waves in the Southern California startup scene. As co-founder of Startup Steroid and a leader at TiE SoCal Angels, Anshuman shares how these organizations are reshaping early-stage investing through technology, syndication, and a global network. With 68 chapters in 14 countries and over $1 billion invested over the past three decades, TiE has become a powerhouse in fostering innovation. Anshuman details how syndication is driving speed and efficiency in funding, with some deals closing in as little as three weeks thanks to collaborative diligence and shared investment infrastructure. The conversation dives deep into Startup Steroid's role in centralizing deal flow and standardizing the investment process. Anshuman explains how tools like the Ready Score help founders gauge their investor-readiness while giving angel groups a fast, structured way to screen and syndicate deals. He also outlines how platforms like Startup Steroid enable investor groups—ranging from family offices to micro VCs—to partner more effectively, streamline cap tables with series LLCs, and bring promising startups into the U.S. market by setting up Delaware C-corps. With deals sourced from all over the world and evaluated through a centralized system, Startup Steroid is enabling smarter, faster decision-making for investors while easing the burden on founders. As the discussion turns to angel education, Anshuman highlights the value of groups like the Angel Capital Association and stresses the importance of mentorship for new investors. He and Hall also touch on the rising use of AI in due diligence and the need for a more unified approach to cross-border investing. Looking ahead, Anshuman proposes LinkedIn Live AMAs to connect with global founders—especially those unfamiliar with the U.S. market—and help them navigate the path to capital more confidently.  Visit Startup Steroid at Reach out to at ,   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Takeaways:Guard your heartFollowing God brings blessingsPass on your faithLive with God's Word visible in every wayDeuteronomy 11:13-21From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love God, your God, and serve him with everything you have within you, he'll take charge of sending the rain at the right time, both autumn and spring rains, so that you'll be able to harvest your grain, your grapes, your olives. He'll make sure there's plenty of grass for your animals. You'll have plenty to eat.16-17 But be vigilant, lest you be seduced away and end up serving and worshiping other gods and God erupts in anger and shuts down Heaven so there's no rain and nothing grows in the fields, and in no time at all you're starved out—not a trace of you left on the good land that God is giving you.18-21 Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you'll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth.

Lai gan 90% Rīgas iedzīvotāju jūtas droši savā tuvākajā apkārtnē un 79% uzskata, ka Latvija kopumā ir droša valsts. Tikai 16% jūtas pietiekami sagatavoti krīzes situācijām - šādus datus rāda nesen tapusi aptauja par Baltijas pilsētu iedzīvotāju drošības sajūtu un gatavību ārkartas situācijām. Par aptaujas rezultātiem saruna raidījumā. Iepazīstina Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un sociālo zinātņu fakultātes Sociālo un politisko pētījumu institūta vadošā pētniece Ieva Birka. "Īpaši arī redzam, ka respondenti, kuri izvēlējās atbildēt aptauju latviešu valodā, uzsvēra to, ka Latvija ir droša vieta, kur dzīvot," atzīst Ieva Birka. "Tajā pašā laikā mēs piedāvājām respondentiem 11 dažādus iespējamos izaicinājumus vai krīžu situāciju variantus, un bija iespēja atbildēt, vai viņi personīgi uztver šo kā draudu," turpina Ieva Birka. Pētniece min piecus Rīgas iedzīvotāju galveno drošības izaicinājumus, par kuriem viņu personīgi uztraucas.  "Pirmais, ko mēs redzam, cilvēki uztraucas par Latvijas ekonomisko situāciju, un viņi uzskata, ka Latvijas ekonomiskā situācija kopumā ietekmē viņu personīgo drošību. Otrs, par ko respondenti bija satraukušies, bija kritisko piegāžu pārtraukumi. Kas notiek, ja ir elektrības vai ūdens padeves traucējumi. Trešais ir militārs uzbrukums Latvijas valstij. Šeit varētu uzsvērt, ka tieši latviski runājošie respondenti 64% uzsvēra to kā draudu, kur krieviski runājošie - tikai 46% par šo bija satraukušies. Redzam, ka ir plaisa tajā, kā tiek uztverts šis militārais drauds," norāda Ieva Birka. "Ceturtais drauds, par ko uztraucās Rīgas iedzīvotāji, ir dezinformācijas izplatība, tas ir tāds jau grūtāk izprotams drauds, kurš strauji sāk pacelties tajā, par ko cilvēki uztraucas. Piektais bija ķīmisko, bioloģisko vai kodolieroču izmantošanas riski. Kas notiek, ja šis konflikts, kas notiek mums kaimiņos, ieņem jau citas formas un citus veidus? Kāds ir šis risks, kad kodolieroču pielietojums varētu arī ietekmēt Rīgas iedzīvotājus." Pētnieki arī jautājumi respondentiem vai ir iepazinušies ar informatīvo bukletu par 72 stundu somu un ņēmuši vērā ieteikumus "Sagatavotības līmenis ir kritiski zems," norāda Ieva Birka. "Piemēram, pamata jautājums - vai ir zināms, ko darīt, ja skan sirēnas? Šo jautājumu uzdodot, mēs saņēmām tikai 46% respondentu atbildi ka, jā, viņi zina, kas būtu jādara, ja skan sirēnas. Jo īpaši slikti informētas par to, kas būtu jādara, bija sievietes - tikai 41% no sievietēm zināja, kas būtu jādara. Arī krieviski runājošie bija sliktāk informēti, kā arī vecāka gada gājuma respondenti - tikai 38% no vecākā gadagājuma respondentiem, kā arī krieviski runājošajiem zināja, kas būtu jādara, ja skan sirēnas." Vēl aptaujā bija iekļauts jautājums:  vai jūs zināt, kur doties, ja jums steidzami ir nepieciešams pamest māju?  "Respondentu skaits, kas zina, ko darīt, ir tikai 29%," atzīst Ieva Birka. To, kur atrodas tuvākā patvertne, zināja tikai 14% no Rīgas iedzīvotājiem.  "Ja mēs padziļināti skatāmies datos, tieši 18 līdz 29 gadus veci jaunieši (21%) bija tie, kas vairāk zināja, kur būtu jādodas, nekā vecāka gadagājuma cilvēki, kur tikai 8% zināja. Iespējams, tas ir saistīts ar to, ka nesen 112 aplikācijā tika ieviests digitālais risinājums - digitālā karte, kas parāda tuvākās patvertņu vietas. Ar datiem varam labi parādīt un ilustrēt, kas strādā un kas nestrādā, un kur ir vājās vietas, pie kā būtu jāpiestrādā, lai informētu sabiedrību," skaidro Ieva Birka. Sirēnu skanēšanas gadījumā ir jāieslēdz radioaparāts. Vai cilvēkiem ir mājās ar baterijām darbināmi radioaparāti vispār? "Dzirdot sirēnas, ir jāieslēdz sabiedriskie mediji. Gadījumā, ja ir traucēta arī kritiskā infrastruktūra, kas bija viens no tiem draudiem, par ko cilvēki uztraucās, un, iespējams, traucēta elektrības padeve, līdz ar to nedarbojas televizors vai nav pieejams internets, tad rekomendācija ir klausīties ar baterijām darbināmu radio. Mēs prasījām, vai mājsaimniecībām ir šis radioaparāts. Tikai 28% no mājsaimniecību no mūsu respondentiem bija šis radio aparāts Rīgā. Tieši biežāk vecāka gadagājuma cilvēkiem - 40% no respondentiem, ir vēl joprojām ar baterijām darbināmais radio," atzīst Ieva Birka.   Raidījuma noslēgumā zinātnes ziņas Novecošanās tempi dažādās valstīs atšķiras. Plašs pētījums apgalvo, ka politikai ir nozīme. Kad savu dzīvi beigs Saules sistēma? Biedējošs jautājums, atbildi uz kuru varbūt nemaz negribas zināt, bet tieši šāds jautājums šķetināts vietnē “Live Science”. Vai tu sauc savu suni par savu "pūkaino mīluli"? Tā nav apsēstība - tā ir zinātne. Kamēr esam uz Zemes, varam priecāties par visu dzīvo, tostarp mūsu mājas mīluļiem, un šim tematam veltīts interesants raksts “Nacionālās ģeogrāfijas” vietnē.

As the sun sets over Cinderella Castle and Main Street U.S.A. begins to glow, Disney transforms into an entirely new atmosphere. This is Disney after dark and whether you're catching the fireworks, hopping to a dining reservation, or attending an after-hours event, your outfit deserves to rise to the occasion—without sacrificing comfort.A 1923 Main Street Style Guide for Disney Travelers who Love Disney at NightAt 1923 Main Street®, we believe that travel style should be elevated and that includes elevating your style for Disney nights. Here's how to create an effortlessly stylish, subtle Disney look for magical evenings in the parks.1. Master the Art of Layering for Evening ComfortDaytime Disney is all about breathable tees and sun-ready style. But once night falls, temperatures can dip—sometimes surprisingly so, depending on the time of year. Whether you're traveling in the balmy summer or during those cooler winter months, layering is your best friend.Warm Weather Option: Start with a buttery-soft graphic tee, such as one of the classics from our subtle Disney styles. These shirts breathe through the heat, but pair beautifully with a lightweight linen shirt or soft chambray button-up for when the sun sets. Tie it around your waist during the day for that casually put-together look.Cool Weather Option: In chillier seasons, transition seamlessly from daytime adventure to nighttime sparkle with a trademark 1923 Main Street fleece-lined sweatshirt or hoodies. Our original upscale designs bring Disney charm without the cartoon vibes, offering warmth and class in one perfect layer.2. Embrace Subtle Sparkle and Moody TonesNighttime Disney calls for a little extra something. The look for Disney at night should be elegant casual meets theme park chic.Consider incorporating subtle sparkle through accessories—think a starry crossbody bag or shimmer-accented Mickey ears in a deep midnight hue. Our tees and sweatshirts in moody tones like cardinal, navy and charcoal give your look that elevated feel without screaming tacky theme park.The goal? Let your love for Disney show without sacrificing style. With a 1923 Main Street shirt as your canvas, you're already ahead of the game.3. Style that Flows from Parks to DiningIt's not uncommon to go from taking the perfect castle photos at golden hour to a dinner reservation at one of Disney's signature restaurants as the sun sets. And with the right outfit, you don't need to run back to the resort.A fitted 1923 Main Street t-shirt tucked into a high-waisted skirt or chic shorts can look perfectly polished. Depending on where you're dining, you could even add a blazer or cropped jacket. Going somewhere where purc comfort is the priority? An elegant subtle Disney sweatshirt with tapered joggers or a maxi dress will instantly give you a layered, cozy-elegant look.Our pieces are intentionally designed to blur the line between theme park apparel and travel-ready fashion—so you can dine at Topolino's or Napa Rose while feeling both magical and modern.4. Let 1923 Main Street® Subtle Disney Apparel Be Your FoundationOur subtle enchanting designs are made for moments like these.

It's a conversation starter at any Disney bar or lounge and a stylish choice for those after-dark park selfies. Every 1923 Main Street piece is made to move with you from sunrise to starlight.5. Accessorize with IntentionAccessories are where nighttime looks shine. For evening events like themed parties or Disney After Hours go for any of the following:Themed jewelry in gold or silver tones—castle pendants, subtle mouse ears, or star motifs.Stylish ears or headbands in velvet or metallics.Sleek crossbody bags with hidden Disney touches.Classic sneakers or sandals in coordinating tones that keep you park-hopping in style.These small additions elevate your outfit without overwhelming it. They pair perfectly with the subtle storytelling found in every 1923 Main Street subtle Disney design.From Day to Night, Magic in Every StitchDisney after dark is a special kind of magic and your outfit should reflect that.

In this insightful episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee prepares for a road trip with his dog Bear to the Ozarks and reflects on a deeper truth: nothing in life is truly free. From time and energy to peace of mind and love, everything you pursue or maintain has a cost—and the real question is whether the return is worth the currency you're investing. Baylor breaks down how to evaluate the value exchange in your life: in relationships, careers, goals, and everyday decisions. He also shares stories from his travels in Peru and Napa to challenge you to consider whether you're simply in the wrong environment—or playing too small. Key Takeaways: Every Reward Has a Cost: The best things in life may not cost money, but they always require time, energy, and intention. Know Your Currency: Identify the traits, habits, or values you bring to the world—love, discipline, leadership, creativity—and find environments where those are appreciated. Evaluate the Exchange Rate: Are you undervalued where you are? Maybe it's not you—maybe it's the context you're in. Set Personal Litmus Tests: Start tying your investments (time, effort, sacrifices) to measurable returns in your life to determine if you're on the right path. Small Adjustments Unlock Bigger Vision: Sometimes, reevaluating how you operate leads to exponential growth—both personally and financially. Notable Quotes: “The best things in life aren't free—they just cost something other than money.” “If the currency you're offering isn't valued where you are, you might just be in the wrong place.” “You're not broken—you might just be priced in the wrong market.” “Tie your time and energy to something meaningful, and watch your life recalibrate.” “A life well-lived is when the currency you give out comes back in abundance.”

Jim has led ESG efforts at Eli Lilly since September 2020. In this capacity, he oversees implementation of Lilly ESG strategy, has responsibility for coordinating ESG-related communications, and organizing and leading ESG stakeholder interactions.  In a significant advancement of Lilly's approach, Jim led the development of Lilly's ESG portal, a comprehensive source for ESG strategy, goals and results.  Jim also chairs the ESG Governance Committee at Lilly, which is a central body for development and execution of ESG priorities and communication to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors. Prior to his current role, Jim spent two years as a loaned executive to Elanco Animal Health, which was spun out of Lilly in an IPO in 2018.  Jim served as the Vice President of Investor Relations at Elanco.  He was responsible for leading all interactions with Sell-Side Analysts and Buy-Side Investors, including preparation of Earnings materials, participation in Investor Conferences, Non Deal Roadshows and investor visits to Elanco Headquarters.  He conducted investor outreach and targeting to build understanding of the Elanco investment thesis.  He worked closely with External Communications to provide consistent external dialogue and to prepare Elanco Senior Executives on key topics and messaging on relevant issues.  In 2020, Jim was ranked the number one IR leader for mid-cap pharmaceuticals by Institutional Investor. Prior to the role at Elanco, Jim spent 18 years at Lilly, holding numerous positions of increasing responsibility, including an assignment in Corporate Business Development, managing Lilly's Venture Capital portfolio.  Jim has also served as the Chief Financial Officer of Lilly Canada, Senior Director of Finance for Lilly Research Laboratories, Manager of Investor Relations, Manager of Treasury Planning and Strategy, Senior Human Resources Representative and Senior Financial Analyst. Prior to joining Lilly, Mr. Greffet was a Consulting Manager for KPMG Consulting in Indianapolis, Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri. Jim Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Eli Lilly's Approach to ESG Lilly's 30 by 30 initiative to improve healthcare for 30 million people by 2030 Progress toward goals and targets without the use of carbon offsets Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Jim's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?  Two words. Be pragmatic. This was a theme that came up in our conversation. There's the lunatic fringe on everything, and certainly in this space, on both ends of the spectrum. Tie your sustainability work to the purpose of your organization, be pragmatic, think in common sense terms, and you'll make a whole lot more progress.  What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability?  In the short four and a half years, this world has changed a lot. I think when I first came into it, it was sporadic, voluntary reporting by organizations, maybe a little bit of ‘accentuate the positive.' It evolved into more rigorous and disciplined financial reporting. Over the last 18 months or so, I think we've seen the heavy hand of regulation start to come about, especially in Europe, which creates a lot more overhead. I think all of us would rather deploy our energy and resources to doing things than reporting about them. So to the exciting part, I now think we're starting to see a little bit more sensibility prevail in some of these regulations, maybe lifting the heavy hand of regulation a little bit so that we can have consistent, rigorous, well constructed reporting that's doable and doesn't take us away from the mission that we have in front of us. I'm optimistic and excited that we're going to land in a spot that's doing the right thing for the right reasons, consuming the right amount of energy.  What is one book you'd recommend sustainability professionals read?  George Seraphim, Purpose + Profit. He's a Harvard Business professor and he taught, you can see from the name of that book, Purpose plus Profit. It takes this pragmatic view of why sustainability can help you run your business better, not just be a fringe idea that's detached from what the business is supposed to do.  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  I'll give one shout out. Brian Matt with the New York Stock Exchange puts out an email each Friday called the ESG Top five. It's the top five sustainability topics of the week. He commits that it's a two minute read. If you get interested, it's going to be more than a two minute read, but you can certainly get the headlines in two minutes. There's certain emails that I can't delete fast enough. That's one that I open every time and I always learn something out of it.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at Eli Lilly?  Sustainability.lilly.com.

You'll do me a solid on my performance. Then LinkedIn, I have a LinkedIn page as well that captures some of the stuff we're doing here.  

Marc interviews Tie Lasater, CEO of Lasater Capital, about growing frustration with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell amid rising calls for his resignation. They highlight Powell's failure to accurately predict inflation and the unexpected boost tariffs have given the U.S. economy. Tie breaks down housing market challenges, including high interest rates pricing out 77% of Americans from homeownership and the shift in younger generations preferring rental flexibility over buying. Both agree a Fed leader aligned with Main Street economic realities—not career politicians—is crucial. The discussion closes with skepticism about mortgage rates falling even if the Fed cuts interest rates, emphasizing that housing supply remains a critical bottleneck.

How to Tie a Knot in a Biothane Ball Tug Strap Step 1: Tie a knot in a fresh biothane strap. Step 2: Pull tight and leave some tail at the end. Step 3: Loop tail over knot. Step 4: Push tail under and through knot. Step 5: Pull knot tight and begin break-in process. Replacement BioThane Ball Strap Leerburg Foam Ball with BioThane Strap Please keep in mind that once the knot is broken-in and secured, it is not coming undone. The biothane will become more soft and pliable with use. Because of this, the biothane begins to grip itself which means untying the knot becomes almost impossible. If properly used and taken care of, biothane ball straps can last a really long time.

1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger, 2 you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise; 7 which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, 8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 9 How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep— 11 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth, 13 who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers, 14 in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 16 There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, 19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers. 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. 25 Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 30 Men don't despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry, 31 but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul. 33 He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won't spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

"IS THE CIO DRAGGING DOWN THE FAMILY OFFICE'S PERFORMANCE? (And What Can You Do About It?)" with R. ADAM SMITH. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Cl26HkpjZBnovg3zumuBx?si=0c7e252e629d4603 https://youtu.be/p3VtFCVpp8o The Family Office CIO job involves a delicate high wire act. The position can be the fraught intersection of: Asset Allocation (& collision of "endowment" vs "family adjacent" strategy) Cash Management Deal Sourcer/Vetter Club Deal Gatekeeper Risk & FOMO mitigater Overall One-Man Band R. ADAM SMITH advises families around deal and investment structure via RAS CAPITAL PARTNERS. We discuss the evolving CIO in family offices, Our discussion addresses the importance of expectation-setting on both sides. We get into what the families can do to understand their own needs (and why they might be the problem!). The goal is to help both sides unlock potential and get out of the way of performance. Adam Smith's Background (2–3 min) Adam gives a brief personal background and current work with family offices Set up the problem: Many family offices operate with misaligned or underperforming CIO structures Mention growing tension between opportunistic deal flow vs. structured allocation frameworks CIO Dragging: Defining the“Non-Functioning CIO” (3–4 min) Describe what a non-functioning or misaligned CIO looks like in a family office Common traits: reactive, relationship-driven over process-driven, lacking risk discipline The consequences: inconsistent returns, governance confusion, lack of accountability Deal-Driven vs. Allocation-Based Models (4–5 min) Explain the difference between a deal-centric CIO vs. one focused on institutional-style allocation Why the dealmaker mindset often prevails in emerging family offices Tradeoffs: speed and access vs. diversification, scalability, and defensibility Challenges when there's no clear investment policy statement (IPS) Why Do Families Tolerate This? (2–3 min) Emotional and trust-based dynamics—families often default to familiarity over structure Over-indexing on "access" as value Underestimating the long-term risks of ad hoc strategies What CIO Institutionalization Looks Like (3–4 min) What a functional, institutional CIO framework looks like (clear mandate, reporting, delegation, rebalancing discipline) Role of governance in supporting this structure When and how to make the transition—triggers and best practices Cultural and Generational Resistance (2–3 min) Why some families resist institutionalization How generational shifts are challenging legacy CIO models Importance of aligning values and objectives—not just tactics Closing Thoughts THE CIO DRAGGING ON THE FAMILY OFFICE PERFORMANCE (2 min) Tie back to broader themes of sustainability, legacy, and governance in family offices Call to action: revisit your CIO model—does it reflect your goals or just your past? Emphasize the importance of aligning investment leadership with broader family vision Other CIO Dragging Considerations- Do the staffing and comp models adequately align the employer and employee?   What does a successful structure look like and how much does it cost?   What dos a minimum structure look like and how much does it cost?   Are CIO's under resourced and put in a failing position?   How does career risk factor into CIO decision-making?   Does the threat to the family's relevance in decision-making risk factor into this?   How much time is wasted doing “pretend” work to maintain access to other family offices deals?   Do you measure investment adjacency to the family specialty and how should that affect the evaluation of the CIO's performance?   What happens when a deal-centric CIO is thrust into an asset class that is out of their expertise?   What is the benchmark performance for a FO CIO these days?   On the ESG, DEI,

Get ready for a "heavy" and anxiety-inducing ride on the Purrgil Pod as Hunter and Jessica dive into an episode where everyone is "running out of time".•First up, Cassian's bizarrely hotwiring a TIE fighter on the "Farm Planet" (Mina Rau)—not to fly, but for communications. Predictably, things go sideways fast with an Imperial crackdown and tragic ends.•Meanwhile, on Chandrila, Mon Mothma's daughter Leida's wedding is a masterclass in "bizarre traditions", complete with braid-cutting. But the real drama is the "money laundering and betrayal" crescendo orchestrated by Luthen, leaving Mon Mothma to visibly "unravel" at her own reception.•Finally, Coruscant brings the "tense and awkward dinner" from hell, as Dedra and Syril host the "world's best mother-in-law," Eedy, who is outrageously judgmental. Dedra, in an "Oh. Oh, mic drop" moment, boldly puts Eedy in her place.All this and more in this episode of the Purrgil Pod.Find us on Facebook, Mastodon, and the web at www.purrgilpod.com

Bold prints, bright colors and character-covered tees once dominated the Disney Parks style scene. But a new wave of fashion-forward Disney fans is shifting the narrative — and it's all about minimalism. The Art of Subtle Disney Shirts and StyleIn the world of Disney fashion, louder used to mean better. This is the era of subtle Disney style, where quiet nods to beloved characters and stories speak louder than the loudest graphic tee. At the forefront of this movement is 1923 Main Street®, the original travel style brand redefining what it means to dress for Disney travel and beyond.Why Subtlety is StylishThere's a reason minimalist fashion has remained timeless: it's sophisticated, versatile and allows personal expression without overwhelming the senses. Subtle Disney fashion borrows this same elegance — offering a way to wear your fandom with class and creativity. Instead of flashy prints, think sleek typography, clean lines and abstract references that spark conversation, not cartoons. The minimalist approach resonates especially with adult Disney travelers who want to celebrate their passion for Disney in a way that's elevated, travel-ready and style-conscious.The Rise of Minimalist Disney FashionAs fashion evolves and the Disney audience grows, so do the ways fans express their style. The rise of minimalist Disney fashion reflects a cultural shift toward meaningful, design-led clothing. People want wearable reminders of the magic that fit seamlessly into their everyday wardrobes — not just their park days. This is subtle Disney style at its finest1923 Main Street was an innovator of subtle Disney style and one of the first brands to champion this approach. Designing understated Disney shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies with original, clever references that only true fans recognize was an early hallmark of the 1923 Main Street brand. These aren't just clothes — they're conversation starters and memory-keepers, crafted with intention.Styling Low-Key Disney Looks at the ParksCreating a travel-ready look with subtle Disney pieces is easier than ever, especially when starting with the right foundation. A text-based or abstract reference tee from 1923 Main Street can be the perfect starting point. Whether it's a nod to a favorite princess, Disney travel tip or hidden detail only Disney regulars would catch, these designs pair beautifully with smart travel staples:Layer a minimalist sweatshirt over a neutral midi dress for a chic, effortless park-to-dinner look.Pair an abstract subtle Disney tee with high-rise shorts or linen pants and add a lightweight denim jacket for cooler evenings.Tie a 1923 Main Street hoodie around your waist during warm days — it's practical, comfortable, and keeps your subtle Disney look consistent. Plus, it's ready to go when the sun goes down.Accessories Make the MagicMinimalist Disney style doesn't mean skipping the fun — it just means choosing pieces with intention. A pair of mouse-inspired stud earrings, a tone-on-tone Disney backpack, or a hat with a discreet reference adds character without clutter. Scarves, neutral sunglasses and sleek sneakers (subtle Disney or not) round out the look while keeping it versatile for long park days.Layering is key here. Mix textures — soft cotton, woven straw, lightweight knits — and let your subtle Disney top take the spotlight. Whether you're park-hopping, rope dropping or enjoying a Disney resort brunch, you'll feel stylish without screaming Disney “tourist.”1923 Main Street®: The Original Brand in Subtle Disney Style1923 Main Street isn't following a trend — it's leading a movement. Each 1923 Main Street design is an original creation, born from deep Disney knowledge and a passion for thoughtful fashion. The brand's mission is simple: to make Disney style more sophisticated, more wearable and more personal.By blending storytelling with clean design, 1923 Main Street proves that Disney inspired fashion doesn't need to shout to be seen. Whether you're a seasoned park-goer or a traveler bringing a little magic into the everyday, there's power in keeping it subtle.Minimalist Disney fashion is more than a look — it's a mindset. It's for those who carry the magic quietly, proudly and stylishly wherever they go.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Why Beating Yourself Up Isn't Making You Better Rewiring the Inner Critic For most of us men, we were raised on self-esteem, (either resourceful input, or non-resourceful input) Be confident. Stand tall. Don't screw up. Win at all costs. That's self-esteem culture. It's about feeling good about yourself when you're doing well — when you're successful, strong, admired, competent, and on your game.  But the second you fall short? That's when self-esteem gets shaky. You feel like less of a man. This is where self-compassion comes in — and most of us weren't taught this growing up. What's the Difference? Self-Esteem Self-esteem says: “I'm valuable because I'm good at something.” But what happens when you're not good? When you fail? When you screw up as a dad, partner, or professional? You beat yourself up. You think you're weak. You try harder, you push down or numb feelings, you obsess, or you isolate. Self-Compassion Self-compassion says: “Even when I mess up, I still matter.” It's not about lowering your standards or letting yourself off the hook. It's about treating yourself like you would treat a friend. You don't rip him to shreds when he's struggling — you encourage him. You support him. You give him a chance to recover and rise. Why This Matters for Men A lot of men stay stuck in silence because they think they have to “man up” through every failure. We're told emotions make us soft. That kindness toward ourselves is weakness. But the truth? Beating ourselves into the ground never made us better — it just made us more disconnected, more numb, and more alone. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's strength with grace. It's resilience over shame. It's authenticity without self-hate. We often refuse to use self-compassion because we think it's lazy or we will lose motivation if we let ourselves off the hook.  So Which One Should You Build? Both. But start with self-compassion. Because when your confidence fails, your self-worth shouldn't. Confidence is built on success. Compassion is built for failing. And you're going to need both.

V najnovšej epizóde podcastu Striedame! na ŠPORT.sk sme privítali hlavného trénera slovenskej futbalovej reprezentácie do 21 rokov Jaroslava Kentoša, ktorý sa s nami podelil o svoje dojmy zo stále prebiehajúceho európskeho šampionátu na domácej pôde.Tréner slovenskej „dvadsaťjednotky” otvorene prehovoril o tom, ako prebiehala voľba kapitána pred turnajom, keď dal možnosť samotným hráčom, aby si zvolili svojho lídra. V rozhovore sa dozviete aj o komplikáciách pri skladaní tímu pred šampionátom, keď potreboval získať povolenie od Francesca Calzonu na uvoľnenie hráčov z reprezentačného A-tímu. Najväčším problémom bolo podľa trénera presvedčiť klub Hellas Verona na uvoľnenie Tomáša Suslova.Jaroslav Kentoš zhodnotil aj atmosféru v tíme a vyzdvihol profesionálny prístup hráčov. V emotívnej časti rozhovoru tréner vysvetlil príčiny prehier so Španielskom a s Talianskom, ktoré rozhodli o našom nepostupe zo skupiny. Špeciálne vyzdvihol reakciu Tomáša Suslova po vypadnutí: „Pre mňa bol už prvý dobrý signál, že ihneď po zápase prišiel Tomáš Suslov za mnou a povedal mi, že chce hrať aj posledný zápas. Vau. A to je silné.”Nenechajte si ujsť najnovšiu epizódu podcastu Striedame! na ŠPORT.sk, v ktorej tréner Jaroslav Kentoš hovorí aj o svojej budúcnosti na poste trénera U21 a klubových ponukách, ktoré možno zvažuje. Tiež naznačil, ako vyzerala komunikácia s hráčmi počas celej prípravy, ktorí futbalisti môžu v budúcnosti nakuknúť do A-tímu a odhalil aj zákulisie slovenského mládežníckeho futbalu.

Pirms pāris dienām ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu. Savukārt Baltkrievijā no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Ārvalstu aktualitātes apspriežam kopā ar ārpolitikas ekspertu Andi Kudoru un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta ārzemju ziņu korespondentu Rihardu Plūmi. * Divpadsmitdienu karš? 23. jūnija pievakarē pēc Savienoto Valstu Austrumkrasta laika prezidents Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu ar 25. jūniju. Līdz ar to „Divpadsmitdienu karš”, kā to nodēvēja prezidents, esot noslēdzies. Vai šis apzīmējums patiešām ieiesies, respektīvi, vai uguns pārtraukšana, kura vakar sāka izskatīties diezgan cerīgi, paliks spēkā un pāraugs zināmā noregulējumā – par to pagaidām drošas pārliecības, protams, nav. Kā zināms, 22. jūnijs nesa jaunu pavērsienu militārajā sadursmē, kad amerikāņu gaisa spēku bumbvedēji B-2 raidīja vairākas lieljaudas vadāmās aviobumbas, savukārt jūras spēki – spārnotās raķetes „Tomahawk” pa trim Irānas kodolobjektiem: urāna bagātināšanas rūpnīcām Fordo un Natanzā, kā arī Isfahānas kodoltehnoloģiju centru. Tika laisti darbā jaudīgākie konvencionālie ieroči, kādu Izraēlas rīcībā nav, un kuri, kā tika lēsts, varētu nodarīt Irānas kodolprogrammai izšķirošu postu. Drīz pēc tam Vašingtona sāka bombardēt abas konfliktējošās puses ar uguns pārtraukšanas prasījumiem. Irānas ārlietu ministrs Abass Aragči reaģēja uz prezidenta Trampa paziņojumu par uguns pārtraukšanu, sakot, ka vienošanās gan vēl neesot panākta, bet Irāna ir gatava pārtraukt triecienus otrdienas agrā rītā, ja Izraēla rīkosies tāpat. Dažas stundas vēlāk arī Izraēlas puse paziņoja, ka esot gatava uguns pārtraukšanai, jo karadarbības mērķi sasniegti. Otrdienas rītā gan no Irānas puses pret Izraēlu esot raidītas divas raķetes, un par atbildi Izraēlas gaisa spēki uzbrukuši kādam radaram Teherānas pievārtē, taču pēc tam patiešām iestājies klusums. Cik var spriest, izšķirošais bijis Donalda Trampa telefona zvans premjeram Netanjahu. Vakarā Irāna atvērusi savu gaisa telpu civilās aviācijas lidojumiem, savukārt Izraēla atcēlusi iedzīvotājiem noteiktos ierobežojumus un ziņojusi par lidostu darbības atsākšanu. Zīmīgi, ka abas puses dēvē sevi par uzvarētājām. Premjers Netanjahu paudis, ka viņa valsts vēsturiskās uzvaras nozīme nezudīšot paaudzēm ilgi. Viņa Irānas kolēģis Masuds Pezeškiāns, savukārt, izteicies, ka Izraēla esot saņēmusi „smagu un vēsturisku” pārmācīšanu. Irānas kodolprogramma, kā apgalvo tās valdība, nepavisam neesot sagrauta. Ko līdzīgu pauž arī Savienoto Valstu izlūkdienestu primārais ziņojums, kura saturs tapis zināms presei. Ziņojumā pausts, ka izraēliešu un amerikāņu uzlidojumi varētu būt nobremzējuši Irānas kodolprogrammas gaitu vien uz dažiem mēnešiem. Attiecīgās mediju ziņas likušas pukoties prezidentam Trampam, kurš amerikāņu uzlidojumus Irānai dēvē par vienu no sekmīgākajiem militārajiem triecieniem pasaules vēsturē. Daži brīvībā, tūkstotis paliek aiz restēm Sestdien Savienoto Valstu prezidenta īpašais sūtnis Kīts Kellogs apmeklēja Minsku, kur tikās ar Baltkrievijas autoritāro vadoni Aļaksandru Lukašenku. Nākamajā dienā mediji izplatīja ziņu, ka no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Daļa no atbrīvotajiem ir ārvalstu pilsoņi vai personas ar dubultu pilsonību – Zviedrijas, Polijas, Japānas un arī divi Latvijas valstspiederīgie. Bet īpaši nozīmīgu šo Minskas autokrāta žestu padara baltkrievu opozīcijas līdera Sjarheja Cihanouska izlaišana no cietuma. Cihanouskis, blogeris un uzņēmējs, atļāvās mest izaicinājumu diktatoram 2020. gada vēlēšanās. Tieši viņš priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā asociēja ūsaino vadoni ar tarakānu, kurš būtu nospiežams ar čību. Baltkrievijas Centrālā vēlēšanu komisija lēma nepielaist blogeri vēlēšanām, un drīz pēc tam viņš tika aizturēts. Stafeti no vīra pārņēmusī Svetlana Cihanouska, startējot kā apvienotās opozīcijas kandidāte, vēlēšanās, domājams, saņēma daudz vairāk nekā varas oficiāli atzītos 10 % balsu. Svetlanai Cihanouskai nācās bēgt no Baltkrievijas, savukārt Sjarhejam tika piespriesti astoņpadsmit gadi cietumā, apsūdzot viņu masu nekārtību organizēšanā un naida kurināšanā. Tagad, sabijis aiz restēm piecus gadus, viņš ir brīvībā un atkal kopā ar ģimeni, kaut pārvērties līdz nepazīšanai. Visus šos gadus viņam bija liegta saziņa ar tuviniekiem, un 2023. gadā Svetlana Cihanouska pat esot saņēmusi ziņas par vīra nāvi, kas gan, kā redzams, izrādījušās nepatiesas. Preses konferencē atbrīvotais stāstīja, ka viņam bijusi liegta ne vien sarakste un pieeja medijiem, bet arī elementāri higiēnas līdzekļi kā ziepes un zobu birste. Prezidentam Trampam, pauda Cihanouskis, esot vara un iespējas ar vienu vārdu panākt visu baltkrievu politieslodzīto atbrīvošanu, un viņš lūdzot Trampu teikt šo vārdu. Pēc Baltkrievijas opozīcijas ziņām režīma cietumos atrodas vēl apmēram 1150 politieslodzīto. Par šo četrpadsmit atbrīvošanu diktators Lukašenka neesot saņēmis pretī neko vairāk kā pašu sūtņa Kelloga vizītes faktu diplomātiski no Rietumiem praktiski izolētajā Minskā. Kā spriež BBC Austrumeiropas un Dienvideiropas korespondente Sarā Reinsforde, diktators esot izsvēris, ka iespējamie ieguvumi no prominentā politieslodzītā atbrīvošanas esot nozīmīgāki par iespējamajiem riskiem.
