It's back-to-school season, but what do kids actually need to thrive in the classroom? Brittany Wheaton, founder of Teaching to a Riot, joins us to challenge some long-standing ideas about student behavior. We talk about the psychological needs that may be hiding underneath certain behaviors, why some kids fall apart after holding it together all day, and why she believes common reward systems can sometimes backfire. Plus, what parents can do when they can't control how their child's classroom operates.   Learn more about our guest(s): https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Join us again for our 15-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Get 20% off  Rosetta Stone Sapphire subscription when you sign up at  RosettaStone.com/newsworthy today!

How to Extend Your Healthspan with Dr. Sandeep Palakodeti Living longer is not the real goal. Living longer with the strength, energy, mental clarity, and independence to enjoy those years is what matters. In this episode of The Customer Service Revolution Podcast, John DiJulius speaks with Dr. Sandeep "Dr. Deep" Palakodeti, founder and CEO of Velocity Health and author of The Ultimate Asset: Extend Your Prime, Not Just Your Lifespan. They explore how proactive longevity medicine, personalized healthcare, better diagnostics, and sustainable lifestyle changes can help people extend their healthspan—not simply their lifespan. What Is the Difference Between Lifespan and Healthspan? Lifespan measures how long someone lives. Healthspan considers how many of those years are lived with physical capability, cognitive health, energy, and functional independence. Dr. Deep explains that most people do not simply want more years. They want to remain active, mentally sharp, and capable of caring for themselves as they age. John connects that goal to his philosophy of living an extraordinary life. Developing your full potential is not only about personal achievement; it affects your family, employees, customers, and everyone who depends on you. How Much of Our Health Is Determined by Genetics? Genetics can increase a person's risk for certain diseases, but increased risk does not always determine the outcome. Dr. Deep discusses how sleep, cardiovascular fitness, metabolic health, nutrition, exercise, and other environmental factors may influence long-term health. Understanding your risks can help you and your healthcare team make more informed decisions earlier. Why Is Traditional Healthcare Often Reactive? The traditional healthcare system frequently gives physicians limited time with each patient. This can make care feel rushed, impersonal, and focused on responding to problems after they appear. What Is Concierge Precision Medicine? Concierge precision medicine uses a smaller patient panel, longer appointments, advanced diagnostics, ongoing coaching, and more direct physician access to provide proactive, relationship-based care. Velocity Health uses a digital-first model that serves patients across all 50 states. Members work with a physician, concierge, and human performance specialist to understand their health data and build a personalized plan. Can Technology and Medication Replace Healthy Habits? No medication, supplement, or emerging therapy eliminates the need for sleep, nutrition, movement, strength training, and mental well-being. Dr. Deep explains that tools such as GLP-1 medications or hormone replacement therapy may provide momentum for appropriately selected patients under medical supervision. However, lasting results require sustainable behavioral change and professional guidance. What Are the First Steps Toward a Longer Healthspan? Dr. Deep recommends beginning with three areas: Improve the quality and consistency of your sleep. Measure meaningful health indicators under qualified professional guidance. Find a physician or healthcare team willing to provide personalized, relationship-based care. Key Takeaways Healthspan is more meaningful than lifespan when the goal is to remain active and independent. Genetics can affect disease risk without completely determining a person's future. Sleep, exercise, nutrition, metabolic health, and mental well-being remain foundational. Advanced diagnostics can reveal risks that routine healthcare may not identify early. Concierge medicine is designed around accessibility, time, relationships, and proactive care. Medication should be treated as a clinical tool—not a replacement for healthier behavior. The best health plan is personalized, measurable, medically guided, and sustainable. Protecting your health helps you continue contributing to your family, organization, and community.

In this episode, ATPE offers educators a fresh, revolutionary lens for the classroom. Traditional lessons on the American Revolution focus on the 13 colonies, but a vital effort in the war for independence was thriving right here in Texas. This war effort relied upon the leadership of women ranchers in Spanish Texas. This special episode of The ATPE Podcast uncovers the untold stories of the rancheras, who commanded vast cattle networks that fueled the war effort and were the unsung power brokers of the frontier. Our guest, Dr. Erika Arredondo-Haskins, is a 12th-generation Texan, historian, educator, and exhibit curator. She currently teaches Religious Studies at the University of Incarnate Word. Appointed by Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai, Dr. Haskins is a member of the Bexar County Historical Commission. She is a scholar of women and young women's leadership and early Texas history. Please note: If you are an ATPE member, you may log in to the ATPE Professional Learning Portal to watch a one-hour video version of this podcast and earn one hour of continuing professional education (CPE) credit, as well as access a comprehensive list of resources provided by Dr. Haskins. CPE credit will only be awarded to those who participate in the course through the portal.

Angeliki Galanopoulou is Founder and Host of "the adaptive times" podcast, meanwhile taking a purposeful career break after more than seven years at Google. Angeliki discusses how AI is transforming work, job security, and career opportunities, particularly for millennials. She shares how burnout, loss, and rapid advances in AI prompted her to reassess work, wellbeing, and career priorities. Angeliki discusses why human connection, empathy, self-awareness, and continuous learning matter to stay relevant and thrive. She explains how millennials can build adaptability and agency to redesign work, explore entrepreneurship, and navigate increasingly uncertain careers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [01:34] Angeliki studies management science and technology while her career direction is unclear.   [02:36] Digital marketing fascinates Angeliki combining technology and customers decision-making.   [03:54] Understanding how the brain works - motivations, fears, and goals - improve sales.   [04:98] Empathy, energy, and memorable relationships can produce stronger business results.   [05:56] Burnout and coaching experience reshapes Angeliki's approach to skills, mindset, and work.   [06:36] Relentless high performance becomes unsustainable without reassessing personal priorities.   [07:05] Questioning what she wants, Angeliki identifies what gives her energy and does not.   [07:48] Self-awareness matters to help optimise how work is done and reduce burnout risk.   [09:05] Grief creates profound recalibration that cannot truly be prepared for beforehand.   [09:35] Previous burnout awareness can help protect energy during difficult periods, including grief.   [10:21] Major life events provoke deeper questions about choices, regrets, and careers.   [13:11] Traditional long-term job security is disappearing as careers become less predictable.   [13:42] Staying relevant now requires individuals to be 'selfish' about their professional growth.   [14:35] People staying in stable corporate jobs must keep pace with AI to stay relevant and improve their wellbeing.   [15:05] Other people leave their corporate jobs since AI lowers entrepreneurial barriers.   [17:04] Time spent AI upskilling is limited inside companies as people don't feel they have time.   [18:48] AI upskilling requires deliberately protecting learning time like formal education.   [19:46] Individuals must actively practice new tools rather than await organizational guidance.   [21:11] AI-prompted internal moves closer to technology for AI influence or to revenue for more perceived safety.   [22:00] Communication and influence skills become increasingly important as technology advances.   [22:15] Side hustles allow experimentation while maintaining the stability of corporate income.   [23:35] Adaptability begins with comfortably admitting uncertainty and remaining genuinely curious.   [26:06] Reframing is powerful, e.g. using frustrating situations to improve learning, communication, and personal agency.   [28:38] Effective communication starts with deep listening beyond another person's spoken words.   [29:31] Self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses reduces defensiveness and improves communication.   [30:23] Professional positioning should prioritize audience value while being authentic personally.   [32:18] Angeliki is advised to interview externally each year to test her market relevance and polish her positioning.   [33:55] Internal mobility helps employees pursue evolving interests while remaining organisationally relevant.   [34:54] Organizations should create protected time and resources for continuous AI learning.   [35:34] Smaller companies are likely more human-centred than larger companies to keep talent.   [37:30] Agency grows by noticing triggers, reframing reactions, and choosing constructive responses.   [38:46] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Practice communication, storytelling, positioning, and visible courage to build future readiness.     RESOURCES   Angeliki Galanopoulou on LinkedIn   the adaptive times podcast on YouTube   the adaptive times website      QUOTES   "The safety doesn't really exist, the job safety. Which means that it's on us selfishly and personally to arm ourselves and do what we can to stay relevant and be on top and succeed and thrive in the rest of our careers as millennials."   "It's your responsibility to keep up with AI for two reasons. Either to be super up-to-date, relevant and always top of mind, when it comes to doing your job more effectively and, and performing highly. Second, to actually improve your own wellbeing."   "The barrier to entry in anything you want to build is minimal. Anyone can build and launch anything with almost minimal cost."   "You build it [a side hustle] while you have the stable income. So I like to talk about corporate not necessarily as safe, but as stable."   "We should all be adaptable. That's the skill we should all build."   "See what triggers in you... And ask yourself, 'Is there a better way that will not ruin my mood for the day that I can look at it?' And then, 'Can I do something about it?'"

67% of Americans say they want to own a business. Only 6% ever do it, and the gap is almost never a lack of money. Alex Smereczniak has data on thousands of franchises, and he breaks down the path that lets you start a business on step three instead of step one. 

What if the future of therapy asks clinicians to stop checking their humanity at the door? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: There's a gap between the world we were trained for as therapists and the world we find ourselves in now. And here to explore that gap with compassion, curiosity, and a dose of reality is relational therapist, writer, mentor, and founder of Venus + Legacy, Josie Rosario. Keep listening if you are curious about: The evolving role of the therapist to meet the needs of today's clients Therapists doing their own healing work and examining one's relationship to power as essential parts of becoming an effective clinician, Spirituality, the wounded healer, and the future of psychotherapy including faith and hope amid social and systemic collapse, and a possible return to the therapist as a more relational "village healer" rooted in community rather than positioned above it. "We have been trained to kinda check our humanity at the door a little bit," Josie says. But what happens when clients are increasingly hungry for what's real?

PIC/S has issued its first major update to its qualification and validation recommendations in nearly 20 years. PI 006-4 replaces PI 006-3 from 2007 and brings the document much closer to how qualification and validation are approached today.In this video, I walk through where PI 006-4 fits within the broader GMP framework, how it relates to EU Annex 15, and the sections I think are most worth paying attention to.A few of the major themes include a much stronger emphasis on quality risk management and lifecycle thinking, more explicit expectations around statistics, sampling, variability, and process capability, a move away from treating three validation batches as a default answer, and clearer discussion of traditional validation, continuous process verification (CPV), hybrid approaches, and ongoing process verification (OPV).The goal isn't to suggest that all of these concepts are brand new. Many have been developing across the industry for years. What is interesting is seeing how PIC/S has now pulled them together into an updated recommendation that reflects current qualification and validation thinking.Chapters00:00 Big Update Overview01:02 Who PIC/S Serves01:28 Annex 15 Relationship02:12 Scope and Exclusions02:39 Why Update Now04:05 Four Key Changes04:47 Risk and Lifecycle Shift06:43 Statistics and Sampling07:48 Rethinking the Three-Batch Rule08:30 Ongoing Process Verification09:11 Traditional, CPV and Hybrid Approaches10:45 Key TakeawaysAbout SubhiSubhi Saadeh is a quality professional, consultant, auditor, and trainer who specializes in drug-device combination products, medical devices, pharmaceutical quality systems, supplier quality, and lifecycle management.

What if your body was designed to heal itself - but something was getting in the way?In this fascinating and hope-filled episode, I talk with Dr. Chris Molda about chronic illness, hidden toxins, and new approaches to healing. Dr. Molda is a functional wellness practitioner, Doctor of Chiropractic, and owner of Molda Functional Wellness.Dr. Molda shares his personal story of facing a “perfect storm” of health problems that left him seriously ill. He battled Covid, contracted Lyme disease from a tick bite, dealt with black mold exposure, and struggled with parasites. Even with his medical background, he found himself searching for better answers and deeper healing.As a chiropractor, Dr. Molda has always believed that the body wants to heal itself. The challenge is finding and removing the things that block healing. He explains what he calls the “Three T's”:TraumaThoughtsToxinsFor him, toxins became a major problem. Traditional treatments helped somewhat, but they didn't fully solve the issue. That search for answers eventually led him to induced native phage therapy.During the episode, Dr. Molda explains about bacteriophages, or “phages,” which are viruses that target harmful bacteria. He says our bodies naturally contain trillions of bacteria and viruses, and many of them actually help keep us healthy. According to Dr. Molda, this therapy works by supporting the body's natural ability to restore balance and fight harmful bacteria.We talked about how this approach has been used for people dealing with Lyme disease, long Covid symptoms, mold toxicity, and other chronic health problems.Dr. Molda also explains what it's like to work with him. The process starts with a free 15-minute call to see if this approach might be a good fit. If it seems helpful, the next step is a longer consultation where he discusses your health history, goals, expected timeline, and costs.Because appointments are done through phone and Zoom, and treatments can be shipped directly to clients, people can work with Dr. Molda from the comfort of their own home.This episode is all about looking deeper, finding root causes, and supporting the body's natural ability to heal.You can learn more about Dr. Molda and his work at:DrMolda.comPhagen CorpEpisode HighlightsDr. Molda's personal journey through chronic illnessThe “Three T's”: Trauma, Thoughts, and ToxinsWhat phage therapy is and how it worksLyme disease, mold toxicity, and long Covid recoveryWhy finding the root cause mattersWhat to expect when working with Dr. MoldaSupporting the body's natural healing processListen and ShareIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may benefit from this conversation.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 218 The school of thought known as Critical Theory was born, as we understand it today, in an essay written in 1937 by Max Horkheimer, who was director of the infamous Frankfurt School. This definitive essay of Western Marxism makes it clear that what we think of as "theory" is only one side of the story, and it's the side that keeps reproducing our present society. Horkheimer calls this "traditional theory," and we call it "knowing what you're talking about and applying it to make the world a better place." He contrasts it against his own approach to Western Marxist thinking, which he calls "critical theory," which questions the very foundations of the society we inhabit in favor of an alternative we can't even articulate. In this important episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay brings you through some of the text of the first half of this historical essay so you can understand the Critical Theory from its birth, in the words of its own founder. Join him to hear the truth: Critical Theory has always been like this, from the very beginning.

Great writing doesn't sell books. Most writers find that out too late.My guest this week is Terry Whalin — editor, former literary agent, acquisitions editor, and author of more than 60 books. He's sat on both sides of the desk, and he's blunt about what new authors get wrong.We start with the myth that a book makes money. Terry's case: most authors need a bigger definition of success — authority, speaking gigs, career leverage — because the royalties are usually modest. Then we get practical about platform. Why social media alone is a bad bet, why your newsletter and website are the only channels you actually own, and why five years of consistency beats one big launch.We also take on self-publishing versus traditional without the usual shouting. Terry walks through the distribution reality — what it really takes to get into bookstores, not just Amazon — and why the marketing lands on you either way. You'll hear what makes an acquisitions editor stop reading on page one, why a proposal is a business plan, and where AI helps with research versus where it walks you straight into plagiarism and copyright trouble.If this one's useful, send it to a writer friend and leave a review.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Season 6: Indigenous Voices of This Generation In this episode of the Matriarch Movement Podcast's Indigenous Voices of This Generation season, host Shayla sits down with the daughter and successor of Talaysay Tours' founder, — an Indigenous entrepreneur, wellness advocate, and keynote speaker whose work bridges culture, sustainability, tourism, and economic reconciliation. Raised on the Sunshine Coast and rooted in both the Squamish and Shíshálh Nations, she shares how a family teaching - "we are the land, and the land is us" - shaped her path from a barefoot kid at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park to running walking tours across Vancouver, Squamish, and Whistler. The conversation traces the company's origin in 2001, growing up alongside her mother's entrepreneurial journey, the loss and revival of cultural knowledge after the Potlatch Ban and residential schools, and the little-known story of the Great Fire that shaped early Vancouver. She also opens up about building an Indigenous apparel line and skincare brand as extensions of cultural reclamation, what it means to mentor the next generation, and how she defines matriarchy in her own life and community. A conversation about land stewardship, intergenerational knowledge, and building Indigenous-led businesses that reflect who Indigenous people truly are.

Traditional business vs network marketing — which business model actually gives entrepreneurs the better opportunity to build income, freedom and long-term success?In this episode of The ME Show, Ali Mehdaoui sits down once again with Mike Maser, ACN Senior Vice President and professional network marketer, for an open and candid conversation comparing two very different approaches to entrepreneurship.Ali comes from the world of traditional business ownership—building companies, creating brands, hiring employees, managing overhead, acquiring customers and carrying the financial responsibility that comes with owning and operating a company.Mike Maser has taken a different path through the network marketing business model, building within ACN's established infrastructure while focusing on customer acquisition, leadership, duplication, team development and creating leverage.So what happens when you put both entrepreneurs at the same table?We break it down.In this conversation, we discuss:✅ Traditional business vs network marketing✅ Startup costs and financial risk✅ Employees vs independent business owners✅ Business ownership and control✅ Overhead and operating expenses✅ Customer acquisition✅ Network marketing misconceptions✅ Direct selling and relationship-based business✅ Building and leading successful teams✅ Scalability and leverage✅ Residual income vs traditional business revenue✅ Time freedom and entrepreneurship✅ Why some businesses succeed while others fail✅ Who should — and should NOT — consider network marketing✅ The future of entrepreneurshipThis isn't about pretending that one business model is perfect.Traditional entrepreneurship has advantages.Network marketing has advantages.And both require discipline, leadership, consistency and the ability to create value.The bigger question is:Which vehicle makes sense for the life and business YOU want to build?Mike and Ali put both models on the table—the strengths, weaknesses, misconceptions and realities behind each one.This conversation is only the beginning.

Greg explains, "We're a data-first company that is focused on improving healthcare outcomes for underserved communities. That's pretty broad.

I have to pinch myself sometimes on the blessings I havetalking to some of the most talented and influential artists in roots music, especially when it's in support of a live performance in the Heartland. Young Bluegrass master  Mason Via recently took the time to have a conversation with me after he'd been up all night jamming after a Owensboro Kentucky bluegrass festival.  Phone interviews can be dicey sometimes with janky connections; it's easy to talk over each other when you can't make eye contact. I appreciate Mason's patience and participation when I knew he had to be dog tired. It took four quick years for Mason Via to become one of thenewest leaders of modern-day American roots music. During that whirlwind period, he toured the world as a member of Old Crow Medicine Show, earned a Grammy nomination for his work on the band's chart-topping album Jubilee,contributed songs to Grammy Winning and Nominated records by Molly Tuttle and Del McCoury Band, and released his solo debut, New Horizons. The momentum continues with Mason Via, a self-titled solo record that balances the progressive with the timeless, reintroducing Mason as a southern storyteller and sharp-eyed singer/songwriter steeped in the bluegrass tradition.  How lucky we were to have Mason come to Kansas City to play the intimate confines of the Waldo Folk Series. Enjoy this conversation with the amazing Mason Via.Photo Credit: Olivia Jewell Photography#americanamusic #bluegrass #songwriter #songwriting #communityradio  

If you visit Westlawn Cemetery just outside Chicago, you'll find a simple granite headstone for the man who silenced Lee Harvey Oswald on live television. But carved right in the center of that marker is a bracketed childhood nickname: Jack "Sparky" Ruby. In part two of our special miniseries, we rewind the tape to the cobblestones of 1920s Chicago to meet the teenage Jacob Rubenstein long before the strip clubs, the mobsters, and the history-shattering events in Dealey Plaza. This is the story of a boy running wild on Roosevelt Street—a kid who refused to sit at a school desk, refused to work for a boss, and violently beat anyone who dared call him by his own name.Following his designation as a dependent ward of the state in 1923, young Jacob was temporarily exiled to a rural Illinois foster farm—a quiet landscape that must have felt like another planet to a boy raised on the pavement of the Maxwell Street ghetto. Though his fractured family was loosely patched back together a couple of years later, the household remained a chaotic, disorganized pressure cooker. Jacob quickly sought his education on the streets, bouncing between grammar schools and repeating the third grade before dropping out permanently after the eighth grade at age sixteen. Traditional high school was an unaffordable luxury; for Jacob, survival meant money, and he made a lifelong rule: he would never work for a boss, choosing instead to survive on pure grit as a street hustler.As the Great Depression squeezed the Chicago streets dry, Jacob's hustle took on many forms. He and his teenage friends became street-level ticket scalpers outside local ballparks and boxing arenas, which led to his first physical altercation with a police officer. Though he escaped charges through his brother's early political connections, the margins on the street grew razor-thin, pushing Jacob into a highly unusual black-market venture: printing and selling unauthorized bootleg copies of copyrighted sheet music. The scheme landed him a brief, humiliating stint behind bars, deepening his view of himself as an outsider who had to scrape, claw, and fight for every single dime.During these formative years, Jacob's personality split into two completely contradictory worlds. To some, he was a gentle, polite boy who idolized world welterweight champion Barney Ross. To others, he was a manic street brawler with a legendary hair-trigger temper who was obsessed with physical health and boasting he could hit harder than Joe Louis. Nothing triggered his volcanic rage faster than his childhood nickname "Sparky"—a name his sister Eva claimed mocked his awkward, wobbling walk like a comic strip horse, but his brother Hyman insisted was a badge of lightning speed and street intelligence. By 1933, with the Chicago streets dry and Al Capone's gangster empire fracturing, Jacob packed his bags for California carrying with him the deep insecurities and explosive temper that would one day seal his fate in a Dallas basement.

Jenny Curtin partners with schools and districts across New England on behalf of the Barr Foundation, where she helps build and scale Transformative Learning Experiences — rigorous, project-based units developed with partner Springpoint that pull students out of the classroom and into courtrooms, communities, and real business ventures. Her work runs on a philanthropic value most funders don't practice: taking the long view, and staying with schools through the slow, unglamorous work of actual change. A student named Buddha dropped out of high school after years of disconnected, irrelevant coursework — and became his graduation class speaker after enrolling somewhere that taught differently. Jenny Curtin of the Barr Foundation joins the show to explain the model behind that turnaround, and why most school transformation efforts stall before they ever reach a kid like him.

Why are more young Christians returning to traditional church? Todd examines the surprising shift back toward reverence, structure, and hymnals before sharing a practical blueprint for planning a worship service that points people to Christ. Plus, Jason Lisle explains why apologetics often misses the mark, and Todd responds to Bill Maher's warning about the future of American politics. Segment 1 • Why more churches are bringing hymnals back. • Young Christians are asking for something many churches have abandoned. • What makes a worship service feel distinctly Christian? Segment 2 • Todd walks through an entire Sunday service at Alpharetta Bible Church. • Why every element of worship should reinforce the sermon. • A practical model for planning worship with purpose instead of performance. Segment 3 • Why Jason Lisle says atheists already know God exists. • The apologetics mistake many Christians make. • Why only the gospel—not arguments—can change a heart. Segment 4 • Bill Maher warns that the Democratic Party is embracing communism. • Why political solutions can never replace spiritual transformation. • How Christians should respond to a culture moving further from God. ___ Thanks for listening!

If you feel a little pang of guilt almost every time you spend money, that guilt was never really about your choices. It's about a hundred small purchases with no clear place to put them, so every one turns into a question.This chapter is about SpendFreely, the everyday spending that moves with your life. The groceries, the gas, the coffee, the Target run that somehow covers four “categories” but was really just a Tuesday. Traditional budgeting tries to slice this part of your life into smaller and smaller pieces, and all that does is turn every purchase into a tiny negotiation with yourself. There's a simpler, kinder way, and this chapter is where it starts. I also share something that surprises people: I genuinely don't know how much my husband and I spend on groceries versus eating out, and as someone who does this for a living, that tends to raise eyebrows. I'll explain why I don't need to know, and why letting go of that made our money, and our marriage, easier.At the end, I've included a short check-in, a chance to notice how much you can already see with just the first couple of pieces in place. Come feel what it's like when spending feels like living again.Get the Book: You just listened to a chapter of it.

Psychologist and educator Fitzhugh Dodson once wrote, “Without goals and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” Goals matter, but they accomplish little without a thoughtful plan. And for Christians, that plan should involve more than increasing net worth, reaching retirement, or achieving financial independence. It should help us consider how God may be inviting us to use our time, abilities, and resources for His purposes. Ron Anderson, a Certified Kingdom Advisor® and Founder of Plan A Wealth Management in Lincoln, Nebraska, has spent more than 30 years helping people plan their financial futures. Increasingly, however, his work has also focused on something broader: life planning. What Is Life Planning? Traditional financial planning often begins with practical questions: How much should I save? When can I retire? How should I invest? What lifestyle can I afford? Life planning goes beneath those questions to address the deeper motivations behind them. Why do you want to succeed? What contribution do you hope to make? How will you use your time if you reach your financial goals? What unique gifts, experiences, and opportunities has God entrusted to you? “You need to know what your financial goals are,” Anderson explains, “but you also need to ask why you want to be successful. If you are financially on track, what will you do with your time and your life to make the contribution God has placed you here to make?” Life planning does not replace financial planning. It gives financial planning a greater purpose. Begin With the Deeper “Why” Financial decisions are often only the visible part of a much larger picture. Financial teacher Ron Blue has compared this to an iceberg. The decisions above the waterline—saving, spending, investing, and giving—represent only a small portion of our financial lives. Beneath the surface are our beliefs, priorities, values, fears, and faith. That is why a meaningful plan must begin with more than numbers. It requires honest reflection: What do I believe God has entrusted to me? What relationships and responsibilities deserve my attention? What needs or opportunities has God placed before me? What would faithfulness look like in this season? How might my financial choices help me become more available to serve? These questions may not produce immediate or easy answers. But asking them can help us move from simply accumulating resources to managing them with intention. Creating the Freedom to Say Yes A financial planner can play an important role in life planning by helping someone establish a reasonable lifestyle, prepare for future needs, and create financial margin. That margin can provide the freedom to respond when God redirects our plans. “If God nudges your heart to do something different with your time, energy, or occupation,” Anderson says, “you want to have the flexibility to say, ‘Yes, Lord, I will follow,' rather than, ‘I cannot afford to do that.'” This is one reason defining “enough” can be so important. Without a clear sense of enough, lifestyle expenses can continue rising alongside income. More money leads to more spending, which can make us increasingly dependent on maintaining a certain salary or standard of living. A reasonable lifestyle is not about deprivation. It is about creating the capacity to give generously, pursue meaningful work, care for others, and remain responsive to God's direction. The Value of Wise Counsel Life planning can be difficult to do alone. Our thoughts may feel clear internally but become more complicated when we attempt to put them into words. A trusted financial advisor, pastor, mentor, or mature friend can provide a place to process those questions honestly. Talking through your goals can reveal inconsistencies, clarify priorities, and expose assumptions you may not have recognized. Wise counsel can also challenge you when your financial plan and your stated values do not align. The goal is not for someone else to determine God's will for your life. Rather, wise counsel can help you think carefully, pray faithfully, and make decisions with greater clarity. What Scripture Says About Planning Your Life Ephesians 5:15–17 offers an important foundation for life planning: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time…Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Scripture calls us to live intentionally. Our time is limited, and wisdom requires that we pay attention to how we use it. Understanding what the Lord desires involves spending time in His Word, seeking Him in prayer, listening to wise counsel, and honestly examining the opportunities and responsibilities He has placed before us. Life planning should therefore be approached with humility. We make plans, but we acknowledge that God directs our steps. As Proverbs 16:9 says, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” The goal is not to create a perfect roadmap for the rest of our lives. It is to become more attentive and available to follow wherever God leads. When Financial Planning Serves a Greater Purpose Anderson has seen clients use life planning to pursue opportunities far beyond a traditional retirement plan. One couple gave a significant financial gift and later traveled overseas, where they helped translate the Bible while supporting their own ministry work. After returning to the United States, they purchased a property in Colorado where people serving in ministry could find much-needed rest. Their financial resources became tools for service, hospitality, and generosity. Not every life plan will involve moving overseas or beginning a ministry. Faithfulness may mean caring for aging parents, mentoring younger believers, volunteering in the community, supporting a local church, spending more time with family, or becoming more generous. The specific expression will differ from person to person. The important question is whether our plans are preparing us merely to become more comfortable—or helping us become more faithful. Planning for a Life of Faithful Stewardship Financial planning asks, “Will I have enough?” Life planning adds another question: “What will I do with what God provides?” Money is not the final destination. It is one of many resources God entrusts to us, along with our time, relationships, experiences, and abilities. A wise plan prepares for future needs, establishes healthy financial boundaries, and creates room for generosity. But most importantly, it helps us remain ready to respond when God presents an opportunity to serve. To learn more about Ron Anderson and Plan A Wealth Management, visit PlanAWM.com. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 75 and legally blind. After helping my daughter with a loan and a car, I expect to have about $5,000 a month available once the car is paid off in seven months. I'm uncomfortable with investing and would rather put that money into savings. Is that a wise approach? I have about $50,000 in consolidated student loans at 6% interest. Is it true that the remaining balance could be forgiven after 20 years? I also give generously to ministries and missionaries. Should I reduce my giving temporarily to pay down the debt faster? I have an indexed annuity with seven years remaining, and I'm charged a liquidity rider fee on each monthly withdrawal. What is that charge, and is there any way to avoid it? A collector is contacting me about a medical bill from 13 to 15 years ago, but they haven't provided documentation, and the hospital says I owe nothing. How long can someone legally pursue an old medical debt, and could they garnish my Social Security benefits?

Traditional media buying breaks down when attitudinal audience data gets lost between upstream research and downstream media activation. Bright Mountain's Andy Davidson and Deep Focus's Kyle Krueger unpack how synthetic personas, unified YouTube-to-CTV strategies, and responsible creator management keep ad campaigns aligned and effective. Key Highlights

Hi! Woah. I leave for the East Coast to start my Make It Fast (please for the love of ME, pre-order it!!!) book tour in less than 48 hours. My literary agent just called to check in on my mental state and I'll tell you what I told her— I'm honestly feeling great. I haven't started packing, but I've got a million outfit options strewn about my closet, and I'll get there eventually. The flights are booked and the hotel reservations are made. It's go time, baby. I'm also thrilled to announce that I have officially entered phase 5 of the creative process:With my last book, I was firmly still in phase #4 (“I suck”) until the book had actually been published and all of you started to cook from it and share your photos and reviews and love of the book. But with Make It Fast, I hosted a party and gave the book to my friends and family two weeks before pub day! I created an Illegal Bookclub and roped in my friends all across the country to share advanced copies of the book with their communities! And, comically, Indigo (the main Canadian seller of the book) accidentally sent all of the pre-orders like two weeks early, so all of the Canadian What To Cookers out there have had their books for a week now! And Canadians are so nice — they are sending so much positivity my way!So there are a LOT of people out in the world, people who I love and trust, who have already seen it, and cooked from it, and told me how much they love it. Thus launching me into phase #5 (“this might be ok”) a few weeks earlier than my last book publishing cycle. I guess, if I'm being honest, what I'm saying is that I require external validation to feel good about my work? Is that pathetic? I don't think so. I think it's a real, honest part of most (all?) people's creative process. It feels really scary and vulnerable to launch a piece of work that you've worked so hard on out into the world. It feels a little bit like dropping your deeply feeling, sensitive, absolutely incredible child off at Kindergarten for the first day of school. Will he make friends? Will the teachers understand how creative and kind and cool he is? Will they be patient with him and let him finish his art project because he really doesn't like when he doesn't get to finish his art project? Will the world love him as much as I do? This analogy is not random: I am dropping my deeply feeling sensitive child off at Kindergarten for his first day of school tomorrow, and the jitters and unease of that feel so akin to publishing a book. By next Wednesday when I send this newsletter, Make It Fast will be in your kitchens, if you've pre-ordered (have I mentioned I'd really love it if you could pre-order?). I'll have already been on Good Morning America two mornings in a row (bless them, what an invitation!), spoken with Jenna Bush Hager in front of an audience of you in Brooklyn, yapped with Dan Pelosi in Boston, chatted with Kerry Diamond in DC, and I'll be en route to Charlotte where I'll be in conversation with our very own Molly from What To Cook. I am excited, and I am nervous, and just like I've been telling my five-year-old, it's OK to feel both of those things at once. And Phase 6 (“this is awesome”) is just around the corner for both of us. There are lots of other book tour dates — check them all out here!Today's So Into That is sponsored by FP Movement. We've talked about our love for their Carpe Diem shorts many times before (a truly perfect athletic short at a very good price point!), but FP Movement has many more athleisure pieces we love. From Molly from What To Cook: I'm on vacation at the beach this week and have been living in this dress and shorts combo when I'm not in a bathing suit. It's so so comfy and easy to throw on for beach walks — it'll also be great to wear on the sports sidelines when it's 100 degrees outside. I'm a shortie (5'3”) and had to shorten the straps a tiny bit (worth the effort!). We also love these biker shorts with this boxy short sleeve and this oversized long sleeve! * Dr. Becky invited me to plan the menu for a REALLY special dinner celebrating Good Inside Baby on Monday in LA. I got to hang with MALLY K. GOLDMAN and Megan Roup and Elaine Welteroth and so many incredible, smart women who make motherhood safer, more fun, stronger, and more fashionable. The dilly feta salad with feta brined shrimp, flank steak with elote salad, and bbq chicken are all straight from the book! My menu concept was elegant California BBQ and I think we nailed it! PS If you're in LA, Heirloom catered and they rule. PS because I know you all want to know, Becky is awesome IRL. She is a fellow insomniac romance book lover, she values her female friendships so highly and they come up in conversation all the time (this is always a green flag for me when I meet new people), and she's just so incredibly smart, insightful, and cool. This is not sponsored but we've swapped codes for each other in the past and my Good Inside code still works — you can use code WHATTOCOOK to get 20% off a subscription to Good Inside if you could use a little parenting assist (like with how to get your deeply feeling kid to dread the first day of school less!). * I recently worked with Groundwork to hire a new team member (woohooooo, Meg!) and it was such an incredible experience that I wanted to share. Three in four U.S. workers are also caregivers, and as that caregiving work collides with mid-career years, most end up forced to choose between staying all in at real personal cost or stepping away entirely — becoming a hugely qualified, "off-market" talent pool that's actually eager to work, just on slightly different terms. Groundwork connects people like that with employers building smarter, more flexible teams. In my case, I knew I needed help in a certain space but had no idea how to define the role or find the right person. They sat down with me, helped flesh it out, wrote the job description, sourced candidates, and ran interviews, and took it all off my plate. And brought me the most INCREDIBLE CANDIDATES! Like lights out brilliant women. If you're a small business owner stuck in hiring limbo, or you're job hunting and sick of the LinkedIn black hole, Groundwork is worth a look.* From Molly: A go-to breakfast of mine this summer has been avocado toast inspired by some Caro made for our team last time I was in Carmel. Mashed avocado seasoned with salt and pepper, slathered on a thick slice of GOOD toasted sourdough, and topped with chili crisp, pickled red onions, flaky sea salt, and fresh cilantro. So good.* From Molly: I've been slathering on this body oil after time in the sun this week — it's very luxurious feeling and makes my skin glowy! From Caro: Oh I love this too!!! It really does not make you feel oily at all, it absorbs so nicely.My publishers are dropping a few more advance reader copies of Make It Fast in the mail to some of my media/Internet friends this week, and I told them to save some for WTCers!! We are going to mail three of you a copy of Make It Fast, along with a Butter Pants spatula and a Caraway kitchen timer! To enter to win, comment on this post with the meal you cook most often when you absolutely do not feel like cooking. It doesn't have to be from scratch! For example, mine has historically been frozen dumplings and peanut sauce, and Molly's is pasta with Rao's marinara and frozen meatballs. Comment between now and August 10 — we will randomly select three winners next Tuesday, August 11, and alert them by Substack DM! Every week, we dig into the What To Cook archives to see what we were cooking this time in years past — the recipes worth bringing back into your rotation. Here's this week's lineup. 1. salmorejo, 2025Oooh, this is such a good one. Traditional salmorejo! From José Andrés! If you have boatloads of ripe tomatoes that need to be used up, make this creamy chilled tomato soup. It gets its creaminess in part from blended artisanal bread, so if you have any leftover sourdough from this week's summer shrimp panzanella, use it here! 2. skillet cheddar turkey burgers, 2024Juicy, cheesy turkey burgers seared in a skillet and served with a tangy, punchy burger sauce — this recipe (which is an excerpt from What to Cook the book #1!) is just so good. Go classic with buns, or shake things up and make sliders for a party, meatballs for dipping, or crumbled patties in pita for lunch the next day.3. turkey meatballs with corn butter rice, 2023These juicy turkey meatballs are packed with flavor, but the real star of the show is the buttery corn-studded rice. It's sweet, savory, summer perfection. While you're cooking, double the meatballs and freeze half for later — future you will be thrilled.4. healthy (or not as healthy…) corn chowder, 2022Sweet corn gets blended into a creamy, cozy chowder that tastes like summer in a bowl. Keep it light with coconut milk, or go richer with heavy cream — both versions are equally delicious. Make it on a Sunday and thank yourself all week — it reheats beautifully and somehow tastes even better on day two.5. sheet-pan crispy pork chops with fennel and peaches, 2021These roasted peaches are iconic — soft, jammy, and caramelized at the edges. Add in sweet, roasty red onions and fennel, plus golden, crispy pork chops, and you've got an easy dinner that feels delightfully fancy. The method works just as well with chicken breasts or sausages if that's what you've got.We use affiliate links when sharing product recs, which means WTC may earn a small commission off of purchases you make through those links.

Or did he? The 'zip it' crowd, known by some as Trad, Inc, makes the case that its Roche trying to force his stance on Leo. The idea that a soon to be retiring prefect is trying to force the Roman Pontiff to adopt his position might be the biggest case of cope I've seen yet.Sponsored by Nelson Insurance Advisorshttps://www.nelsonplan.comSources:https://substack.com/@returntotradition1Contact Me:Email: return2catholictradition@gmail.comSupport My Work:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/AnthonyStineSubscribeStarhttps://www.subscribestar.net/return-to-traditionBuy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/AnthonyStinePhysical Mail:Anthony StinePO Box 3048Shawnee, OK74802Follow me on the following social media:https://www.facebook.com/ReturnToCatholicTradition/https://twitter.com/pontificatormax+JMJ+#popeleoXIV #catholicism #catholicchurch #catholicprophecy#infiltration

Jim McTague reports that in Lancaster County, Republican representatives are introducing legislation that adds red tape and taxes to data centers, contradicting traditional pro-growth principles. While the Democratic-led Lancaster Cityhas embraced a lucrative data center deal, blue-collar "Trump country" boroughs remain fearful of the future. Despite these tensions, the local economy remains "steady" due to a diversified base including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and senior citizen spending. (6)1890 ERIE PA.

Early in Douglas Stuart's new novel, “John of John,” the Booker Prize-winning author describes a peculiar irony: “What skinned him was that the closer he got to home, the more lost he felt.” It's a passing line, but it captures the tension at the heart of this magnificent book: Here is a story of two men, each profoundly isolated, trying to figure out how to exist in a small, claustrophobic world. The traveler heading home and dreading it is Cal, a young gay man who has recently graduated from college in Edinburgh and has been floundering ever since. At the start of the novel, he is summoned back to the small village where he grew up to care for his sick grandmother. He obliges, but he's not happy about the move — a rakish dreamer, Cal doesn't fit into the provincial life of his village. His chief antagonist is his father, John. Traditional, religious and stoic, John hates Cal's flamboyance and inertia, and he's determined to mold Cal into an upstanding citizen of this tiny community. But John is hiding secrets of his own that, if they were to get out, could upend his life. Bouncing between John's and Cal's stories, “John of John” asks: What does it mean to fit in, what's the risk of standing out, and what's the price of both? On this episode of the Book Review Book Club, the host MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Leah Greenblatt and Scott Heller.
