Podcasts about to begin

In this week's episode, Celeste Rains-Turk reintroduces Tamara Haddad, a previous guest from the beginning of her podcast who has since retired from the IFBB division. While she may be retired from competing, Tamara is still well-known for her excellent posing coaching and active in supporting other competitors.  To Begin, Tamara opens up to Celeste about her last show, the Arnold Classic Australia, in 2017.  She admits to post-show months of rebounding, feeling depressed, and unmotivated. Tamara explains how her biggest struggle was learning how to balance fitness as a lifestyle instead of a competition. She states it took approximately 9 months to get back into shape and how the slow and steady approach gave her the lifestyle shape she always dreamed of having. Tamara is thankful to have had the chance to compete at The Arnold and Olympia and uses her experiences to coach other competitors to these elite stages.  ​ Tamara explains how the hardest part about overcoming post-competing blues is the mental changes and lifestyle adaptations. Tamara tells Celeste how she used to believe you couldn’t take rest days, and now realizes that taking rest days allows for muscles to heal, bones to repair, and mind recovery. Tamara no longer has food guilt and chooses to eat three fuller meals instead of five portion-controlled meals.  Tamara and Celeste discuss the heavy and often disregarded topic of addiction in the bodybuilding sport. Tamara admits she was addicted to competing, Adderall, Xanax, and sex which reared its ugly head after retiring. Tamara decided to cleanse her body, mind, and soul and admits to having a predisposition to extreme addictive characteristics. She started her recovery by doing a 90-day commitment, sun healing, and focusing on spiritual growth. ​While Tamara was afraid of her true self without the title of IFBB pro champion, she worked with God to release those stigmas. Tamara happily expresses she is now three months clean of prescription substances! Celeste and Tamara open up about the breakup from her fiancé and how she was struggled with intimacy with partners since. In addition to healing herself, she admits to Celeste how she avoided masturbation to build up her “spiritual soul” She states since her 90 day commitment cleanse, she is now able to have a sexual relationship with a partner and raise her vibrations/energy.  Tamara states how online competitions is “the future of bodybuilding”. She praises the division for transforming to an online stage and is pleasantly surprised how successful the first one was in July. In the future, she is hoping the Top 10 gets more prize money to help boost audience participation and reimburse competitors for their hard work.  Finally, Tamara gives viewers advice to competitors who feel addicted to the identity of the sport. Tamara’s honesty and open conversations provide an episode you do not want to miss!

Torah thoughts of the week...To Begin

Ian Ruskin is a producer, writer, actor and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. He has starred in theatre, television, and film in both the UK and the US. He has written and performed in various one man plays, From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks which details the life of Australian-born American union leader, Harry Bridges and To Begin the World Over Again: The Life of Thomas Paine. To learn more about or contact Ian Ruskin visit: www.ianruskin.org In this week's interview, Jim Underdown and Ruskin discuss the life of Thomas Paine, his influence on politics and religion, and what Ian learned about Paine in his work preparing for The Life of Thomas Paine.     In 1775, a man who had lived 37 remarkably unremarkable years in England arrived in Philadelphia. He then proceeded to change the world. His pen ignited the American Revolution, defined the French Revolution and articulated the concept of Reason. For this he was nearly hanged in England, nearly guillotined in France and, by the end of his life, more hated than loved in America. He was one of the world’s greatest propagandists and worst politicians, a nearly fatal combination, and he is one of the most misunderstood men in American history. Yet his vision of true justice and equality for all human beings continues to inspire millions of people and his ideas, revolutionary in 1776, continue to be as revolutionary today.

Daily EDGE- Don't Wait Until January 1st To Begin

英语美文-以终为始今天，依旧分享《高效能人士的七个习惯》中的经典篇章，这一章节中，着重阐述了“以终为始”的重要性。培养好这个习惯，了解了这个做事的原则，会让我们更加清楚自己内心真正的诉求，并为自己真正想要的东西，或是达成的目标而奋斗。掌握这个原则，不仅会让我们少走弯路，并且在达到目标时，也能充满幸福感。New Words:academician [ə,kædə'mɪʃ(ə)n] n. 院士；大学生；plumber ['plʌmə] n. 水管工；blueprint ['bluːprɪnt] n. 蓝图，设计图；mortar ['mɔːtə] n.灰浆To Begin with the End in Mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. Itmeans to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.以终为始说明在做任何事之前,都要先认清方向。这意味着你对现在自己的方向和处境了如指掌，这样当你行动的时候，就不至于误入歧途。It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder andharder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is possible to be busy -- very busy -- without being very effective.人生旅途的岔路很多,一不小心就会走冤枉路。许多人拼命埋头苦干,到头来却发现追求成功的梯子搭错了墙 ,就算你很忙很忙，也未必出成果。People often find themselves achieving victories that are empty, successes that have come at theexpense of things they suddenly realize were far more valuable to them. People from every walk of life -- doctors, academicians, actors, politicians, business professionals, athletes, and plumbers – often struggle to achieve a higher income, more recognition or a certain degree of professional competence, only to find that their drive to achieve their goal blinded them to the things that really mattered most and now are gone.很多人功成名就之后,反而感到空虚,发现自己牺牲了许多更宝贵的东西。上至达官显贵、富蒙巨贾,下至平头百姓、凡夫俗子,无一不在追求更多的财富，更大的势力或更高的声望,而这些目标常常蒙蔽了对于他们来说真正重要的事情, 等回过头时，才发现，早已人去楼空。How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and, keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most. If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster. We may be very busy, we may be very efficient, but we will also be truly effective only when we Begin with the End in Mind.当我们了解生命中最重要的事情时,生活将会不同。头脑中要时刻牢记：每天希望自己成为什么样的人,什么对于自己来说才是最重要的。如果通往成功的梯子一直搭错墙,那每一次行动无疑加快了失败的步伐。我们也许会很忙, 也能很高效，但是唯有心中牢记以终为始，才能算作真正的高效。"Begin with the End in Mind" is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There's amental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things. “以终为始”的一个原则基础是“任何事都是两次创造而成”。我们做任何事都是先在头脑中构思,即智力上的或第一次的创造，然后付诸实践,即体力上的或第二次的创造。Take the construction of a home, for example. You create it in every detail before you ever hammer the first nail into place. You try to get a very clear sense of what kind of house you want. If you want a family-centered home, you plan a family room where it would be a natural gathering place. You plan sliding doors and a patio for children to play outside. You work with ideas. You work with your mind until you get a clear image of what you want to build. Then you reduce it to blueprint and develop construction plans. All of this is done before the earth is touched. If not, then in the second creation, the physical creation, you will have to make expensive changes that may double the cost of your home. 以建筑为例,在拿起工具建造之前,你需要先在脑海中构思每一细节。你需要很清楚地知道你想要什么样的房子。如果你想要一个以家人为中心的家，那么你在设计房间的时候，它将会是一个天然的聚会场所。你会为孩子们规划好滑门和露台。你要不断地想，直到这些想法在你脑中变成清晰的，你真正想要的画面。接着你将这一切变成设计图，进而变成施工方案。这一切都要在开始施工之前完成。如果没有，那么在二次实际的创作中， 你将不得不为一些改动付出昂贵的代价，甚至可能会让你整体的价格翻倍。The carpenter's rule is "measure twice, cut once." You have to make sure that the blueprint, the first creation, is really what you want, that you've thought everything through. Then you put it into bricks and mortar. Each day you go to the construction shed and pull out the blueprint to get marching orders for the day. You Begin with the End in Mind.木工的法则是“量两次，切一次”。你必须确保你的蓝图，就是第一次创造是你真正想要的，你已经将一切细节考虑在内。你才能开始施工。接着，你每天都去工棚，拿着你的蓝图指挥当天的行动。这就叫做以终为始。

FAR 192 Kory Angelin Expected Air Date: 9/29/18 Opening We have a little bit of a selling and marketing theme going on this week on the show. Today we are joined by Kory Angelin who is going to tell us if we have something to sell, stop selling. Start relating. Remember what I said previously that in this business we are selling all the time. We are not selling our houses. We are selling ourselves, our reputation, our credibility, and our experience. This is how we are able to grow and scale our businesses. Kory Angelin is an Award-Winning Trainer and 2-time published author with over 25 years in the fitness industry.  He is a Regional Educator for 24 Hour Fitness working to help carry out their brand message. His industry experience includes partnering with NIKE to launch their SPARQ Brand, worked with a variety of athletes from the NFL and NBA and has been featured in "Sports Illustrated", "USA TODAY", "Training & Conditioning" and "STACK" Magazines for his work in the fitness industry.  Kory has been an on-air host on QVC and is a sought after motivational speaker. He holds a bachelors degree in Sports Medicine and has just launched his second book entitled #Sellout. To listen to Kory's podcast or to find out more info., you can log on to www.koryangelin.com. I had a little fun and got a little training from Kory right on the show. I asked him to help me “sell out” my next event, FlipStarter and he had some very practical and specific ideas for me. I thought I’d be putting him on the spot, but he turned that around and put me on the spot.  As you listen, I want you to imagine answering his questions for your business and for yourself. It may be challenging, but as Kory says, put the work in up front and the rest takes care of itself.

Note from staff: So what ARE you saying about the market over the next 12 months?  Here are Flipping America we are continually monitoring a number of data points not just in the Atlanta market but nationally. Data points include default rate and mortgage rate (not the same thing and they are at historic lows right now), Home sales volume (trends), Home prices (year over year trends) and new construction starts. There are other factors that are more difficult to quantify in a chart, but we pay attention to lending guideline changes, the sales of sub-prime loans on the secondary market (hint: securitization of those loans never stopped), and the impact of mortgage interest rates to name a few. In our view, the collapse of 2007-08 was unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated in our lifetime. But the real estate market does correct and is somewhat cyclical. We are projecting a return to a balanced market (3 month supply of homes) in the next 6-12 months. This means it will take a little longer to sell, investors will have to put more effort into selling, but there will be more inventory to buy as well. Coastal regions will likely see price reductions over the next 12 months, but the rest of the country will see above average increase in values (around 5-6%) for the next year. We think Atlanta will finish 2018 with a 7% year over year gain but this will slow down in 2019. Randy, Sheboygan, MI, “Would you recommend people start off wholesaling? I don’t have a lot of money to buy a fix and flip.” Lorrie, Milwaukee, WI, “Do you decorate your flip houses for the holidays?” Ashton, Austin, TX, “Really enjoyed the show with Scott Carson, Can you explain the math on buying notes? I don’t see how it makes much money.” Motivational Thoughts for the day To Begin, Begin, William Wordsworth

FAR 190 DT Investments, Jim Beach Expected Air Date: 9/24/18 Opening Hello everyone, it’s time to get involved in Real Estate. There are 85 major ways to make money in real estate and several variations of some of those methods. The opportunities are numerous and the variety is nearly endless, but all of real estate investing can be summarized around three primary activities: Buy with the intent to improve and re-sell relatively quickly. Buy with the intent to create income with the property for a longer term. Invest in the activities of 1 or 2. I’ve been looking for someone who manages a REIT to come on the show and talk about the opportunities there and you regular listeners know that I have nothing against REITs or crowd-funding real estate. Both have interesting possibilities, albeit not such a great return on the money. If you have a little bit more money and are an accredited investor, you’re going to want to stay tuned today. My good friend Jim Beach is going to be on the show in a few moments and we are going to talk about, among other things, and incredible private offering that is set to take on the big boys. This fund invests only in short-term flips. Full disclosure, I’m one of the partners in the firm. Jim is a former Coca Cola executive but long-time entrepreneur. He founded a technology company and sold out years ago, wrote the best-selling book, “School for Startups” and for the past several years has been the host of a radio show called School for Startups. He has had everybody who is anybody in the world of business on his show. Jim travels the world teaching the principles of entrepreneurship.

"To Begin" is an introduction and a teaser to "Sedna Alone" (which we will be publishing soon) and the series of stories that make up "The Selkie: A Song of Seven Waters" by Fay Roberts. In this magnificent mixture of singing, music, poetry, and most of all story-telling, Fay will take you into a world of strange creatures, mysterious magic and people who are never, ever quite what they seem. We'll be publishing Sedna Alone in a couple of days, but if you just can't wait then Little Wonder strongly encourage you to check out Fay's crowdfunder to get The Selkie back to the Edinburgh Fringe with a book and accompanying CD: http://bit.ly/selkie18 As a final note, The Selkie is not a Little Wonder Radio Play - it's just something wonderful we wanted to share.
