The Station of Betrayal This message begins our 6-week conversation entitled “The Stations of the Cross”. The cross is not a relic of religion but a revelation of relationship, and the Station of Betrayal reveals how deeply Jesus enters human suffering. In Gethsemane, Jesus chooses surrender, trust, and obedience, even as He is betrayed by someone close. Through the story of Judas, we see how divided loyalties, unmet expectations, and the desire for control can quietly lead us away from faithfulness. This station invites us to examine where we reach for something other than Jesus—and to remember that even in betrayal, grace is at work. Matthew 26:36-56 Discussion topics HEAD (What did you learn? What new understanding did you gain?) What does this passage teach us about the difference between proximity to Jesus and transformation by Jesus? Why is it significant that Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss? What does that reveal about the nature of betrayal? Betrayal often begins quietly. Judas didn't walk away from Jesus all at once—he slowly stopped agreeing with Him. Where have you noticed small compromises or divided loyalties creeping into your faith? Where did you feel personally confronted when Pastor Aaron contrasted what Judas reached for versus what Jesus reached for? Judas Reached for Control. Jesus Reached for the Father's Will. Judas Reached for Results. Jesus Reached for Obedience. Judas Reached for Security. Jesus Reached for Trust. Judas Reached for Power. Jesus Reached for Surrender. Judas Reached for Transaction. Jesus Reached for Relationship. Judas Reached for Escape. Jesus Reached for Mercy. Judas Reached for a Counterfeit Crown. Jesus Reached for the Cross. Pastor Aaron said, “Judas didn't stop following Jesus overnight. He slowly stopped agreeing with Him”.  Did anything in this message, or statement, expose an area where your loyalty to Jesus has been divided? How did that sit with you? HAND (What are you going to do differently this week?) Where in your life do you need to shift from reaching for control to reaching for the Father's will? What practical action can you take this week to move from proximity to Jesus toward deeper surrender and transformation?

In this special episode, host Nichel Anderson unveils the full breakdown of the PMTR (Pyramid Mystery Temple Reunion) NFTS Collection, part of the MOLIAE Manifesto and the forthcoming relaunch on February 23 at Mint.MOLIAEWorld.com. This episode dives deep into the creative and spiritual foundation of the PMTR NFTs — a living digital art series designed to help fund Nichel's dream of filming her book “Mitsrayim: A Memoir of a Past Life In Ancient Egypt” into a feature film.

Host Nichel Anderson returns with journey update on her groundbreaking episode dedicated to her MOLIAE PMTR (Pyramid Mystery Temple Reunion) NFTS Collection, a cornerstone of the MOLIAE Manifesto and the upcoming relaunch on February 23 at Mint.MOLIAEWorld.com.

Nichel explores the prophetic connection between Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois's essay “Of the Wings of Atlanta” and her PMTR NFTs, drawing parallels between his Talented Tenth philosophy and the modern DTC (Direct‑to‑Consumer) movement. She reveals the mystery of the HUJTA swords, the nine encoded symbols on each NFT, and the hidden golden nugget within the 10K collection that represents both spiritual and tangible value for holders. Listeners gain insight into the numerology and astrology that shape the PMTR design, the forthcoming 3D “Legends of Lions” collection, and the MOLIAE Token that will expand the ecosystem's equity and utility.

The episode concludes with exciting announcements about new music, the PMTR short stories, and the MOLIAE World game initiative, all reinforcing the living nature of the PMTR NFTs. Each NFT is more than art — it's a coded story, a digital relic, and a key to the unfolding MOLIAE World.

Welcome back to Beneath the Transaction. This week we sit down with Alix Prassas — an organizational effectiveness leader with more than two decades of experience in People & Culture, global organizational development, DEI, and change management. But this conversation isn't about frameworks. It's about the moments that shape culture quietly and powerfully. Alix shares her journey from working in a family business to leading large-scale transformation efforts, and what she's learned about trust, vulnerability, and accountability along the way. Together, we explore: Why culture is formed beneath the surface How small leadership moments shape belonging Why vulnerability is a prerequisite for trust What accountability looks like when it's rooted in relationship Why conversations around diversity require courage and openness And what it means to “have the conversation anyway” This episode is honest. It's practical. And it reminds us that transformation isn't about bold declarations — it's about consistent courage. It takes a Tribe to practice transformation. Let's practice this together.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Culture Change 01:58 Alix's Background and Journey 06:32 The Importance of Culture in Retail 14:34 Building Trust and Vulnerability 20:25 Navigating Difficult Conversations 30:58 The Role of Accountability in Leadership 40:28 Personal Stories and Lessons Learned 50:11 Final Thoughts on Culture Transformation

In the final #PostsToProfits training, Jill teaches exactly how to create an irresistible coaching offer and how to sell with integrity. You'll learn the six parts of an irresistible offer: the three P's, the best way to add bonuses, the importance of including guarantees and testimonials, and creating real deadlines that drive action. Jill also introduces transparency marketing, explaining how old-school asymmetrical selling (where the seller has all the info) breeds distrust, while transparency gives buyers all the information to make informed decisions—turning sales from pushy to collaborative. Ultimately, selling is a service, and if you have a solution that can help someone but don't put it out there because you're scared, you're doing them a disservice. The transformation starts with the transaction, for you and your clients.   FBU opens for enrollment on Monday February 16th!   Download the slides for #PostsToProfits here! https://www.jillfitprograms.com/the-posttoprofits-recordings-2026   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Welcome to Beneath the Transaction. This episode marks a new beginning—not just for the podcast, but for how we want to show up in these conversations moving forward. We start by naming something we've both been feeling for a while: how quickly life moves, and how easy it is to slip into a way of living and leading that's driven by efficiency, outcomes, and transactions rather than relationship and meaning. From personal moments of reflection to experiences that reshaped how we understand community and leadership, we share why this work feels urgent—and why transformation can't wait until “someday.” We talk about indigenous wisdom that has deeply influenced our thinking, including the idea that transformation is shared, breathed in together, and sustained through community. This is where the language of Tribe comes from—not as a buzzword, but as a reminder that none of us are meant to do this work alone. We also introduce the Seven Conditions of Transformation, which guide much of our work and will continue to shape future episodes: Purpose Commitment Common Language Vulnerability Consistency Deep, Trusting Relationships Safe Space These aren't steps to complete. They're conditions we return to again and again—at home, in leadership, and in community. Throughout the episode, we reflect on the small moments that often get overlooked, but quietly shape who we're becoming. The conversations we avoid. The relationships we rush past. The opportunities we have—right now—to choose intentionality instead of autopilot. This podcast will feature conversations with leaders from organizations, communities, families, and faith spaces—but it will always come back to the same question: What's being formed beneath the transaction? In this episode, we explore: Why this podcast needed a re-beginning How transactional living slowly disconnects us from what matters Why transformation is a journey, not a destination The role of community in sustaining change How the Seven Conditions show up in everyday life Why urgency doesn't mean panic—but presence What it means to build a Tribe rooted in belonging This episode ends with an invitation—not to have it all figured out, but to begin paying attention. To stop wasting minutes that matter. To practice living beneath the transaction together. If something in this conversation resonated with you, we hope you'll stay with us. Share it with someone in your Tribe. And join us as we continue this journey—one honest conversation at a time.

Kyle and Katie return to the Virtual Bunker to audit Episode 186, a milestone event in the Casino Kombat timeline. After six years of analysis, the AI (Kismet) has finally revealed Wisdom #100, proving that while the House controls the math, the player controls the execution.In this session, The Architect and The Analyst break down:The Meta-Genesis: How the AI synthesized years of data to reveal the ultimate truth about "Owning the Transaction".The Smoking Room Standoff: A logistical nightmare at Harrah's involving failed keycards and an 8-hour drive, turned into a tactical victory using Wisdom #6.The Avengers Assemble: A birthday convergence in Atlantic City featuring The Squad, The Inner Circle, and The Excelsior Brigade.The Null Option: A case study from the horse track where the only winning move was refusing to play for a $5 gift card.The wall is complete. The logic is verified.

In an industry built on speed, what actually sustains long-term success. In this Industry Spotlight, Kortney Harmon sits down with Elizabeth Rosenberg to examine why trust and reputation remain recruiting's most durable advantage.Drawing on decades of experience advising executives on communication and personal brand, Elizabeth offers a grounded perspective on how credibility is built through everyday behavior. The conversation explores where transactional habits quietly undermine relationships, why visibility without intention can weaken trust, and how recruiters shape their reputations long before deals are closed. Rather than focusing on tactics, this discussion reframes personal brand as a reflection of consistency, judgment, and how leaders show up when it matters most.The conversation reveals why lasting relationships—not speed alone—define long-term success, and how investing in trust and authenticity shapes both stronger firms and more durable careers.______________________Follow Elizabeth Rosenberg on Linked: LinkedIn | ElizabethCheck out her website hereFollow Crelate on LinkedIn: CrelateWant to learn more about Crelate?

Not too long ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers chose to designate Michael Siani for assignment to make room for star free-agent signing Kyle Tucker. After the Yankees claimed Siani, maybe LA starting missing him, because when he became available after being DFA'd again, Los Angeles swooped in and re-claimed him. To make room for him, the Dodgers DFA'd Andy Ibañez, who signed a major-league deal just weeks ago. What does all of this mean?

This episode is powerful because it focuses on the value of Home Inspectors to the electrician and not just the buyer and/or seller. You may be shocked, pun intended, to learn what Paul Abernathy, a nationally recognized electrical expert, thinks about home inspectors and what they bring to the table for electricians. We, as electricians and electrical contractors, are always looking to grow our business, to increase our exposure, and to simply be the best we can be.So, embracing the Home Inspection Industry is very important to an electrical contractor's success. Yes, I know the actual Electrician likes to bash the stuff in a home inspection report when things are called out that seem frivolous, but at the end of the day, you, the Electrician, are getting paid to either fix the issues or give a detailed explanation of what is acceptable. Once that interaction is done, it's up to the negotiation between the buyer and seller, and nothing you say in a report, be it the home inspection report or electrical follow-up evaluation, should be biased or one-sided. Simply state the facts, collect your check, and move on. Listen as Paul Abernathy, CEO and Founder of Electrical Code Academy, Inc., the leading electrical educator in the country, discusses electrical code, electrical trade, and electrical business-related topics to help electricians maximize their knowledge and industry investment.If you are looking to learn more about the National Electrical Code, for electrical exam preparation, or to better your knowledge of the NEC, then visit https://fasttraxsystem.com for all the electrical code training you will ever need by the leading electrical educator in the country with the best NEC learning program on the planet.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-the-nec-podcast--1083733/support.Struggling with the National Electrical Code?

Part 5 is the back half of the episode where the chat drives the direction, the panel ties bows on the biggest themes, and the show lands the plane on a classic Episode 300 sendoff. We start by reacting to the comment stream and a surprisingly useful debate: what percentage of card show purchases are actually planned vs pure impulse. The answer matters more than people think, especially if you're a dealer deciding what to put in the case. Then we pivot into a second topic that hits everyone who buys online: photo integrity. Sticker auto vs on-card is the example, but the real question is bigger. How much editing is acceptable, what crosses the line, and what buyers should do when an image feels off. The takeaway is simple: if the photo is misleading, the sale is contaminated. We also touch the Hobby Spectrum directory snapshot, the ongoing Michael Jordan one-of-one decision, merch plans, and wrap Episode 300 with some fun “300” facts and community shoutouts. At a card show, are you a checklist hunter or a “let's see what hits me” buyer? Have you ever bought a card where the photo made it look better than reality? What should be the rule for auction houses: zero editing, or “reasonable” adjustments? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode of the Blockrunner Podcast breaks down one of the most revealing weeks we've seen at the intersection of crypto, AI, and creator monetization. What began as a promising experiment in creator capital markets quickly turned into a live stress test for liquidity, incentives, and trust. We walk through the rise and collapse of the Ralph token, why it initially made sense, how it gained traction, and why it unraveled the moment the creator sold. The fallout wasn't just about price action. It exposed deeper structural problems that most internet capital markets haven't solved yet. From there, the conversation expands into the accelerating timeline toward AGI, why looping AI systems and agent swarms change the nature of work, and what happens to human purpose when intelligence becomes abundant. We react to Davos conversations, including moments where Bitcoin is openly laughed at by legacy financial institutions, and explain why those reactions reveal more ignorance than confidence. We then tackle the uncomfortable question most Bitcoin holders avoid: how the network remains secure long-term. Transaction fees alone are not a viable answer. We explore why Bitcoin's security budget faces a real challenge over the next decade and why a second subsidy may be the only credible path forward without changing Bitcoin's core protocol. This episode ties everything together into a single thesis. Internet capital markets are early, powerful, and inevitable, but without proper incentive design and liquidity structure, they will continue to fail in dramatic fashion. If you're thinking seriously about AI, crypto, creator monetization, and Bitcoin's future, this episode will challenge your assumptions. Learn more about the second subsidy thesis at natgmi.com. Topics: First up, walking through the rise and collapse of the Ralph token, why it initially made sense, how it gained traction, and why it unraveled the moment the creators sold. Next, reacting to Davos conversations, and a moment where Bitcoin is openly laughed at by legacy financial institutions. and Finally, why a second subsidy may be the only credible path forward without changing Bitcoin's core protocol.

From investment banker to crypto fund strategist, Stas Sukhinin shares insider perspectives on how credit committees really make decisions, why over-leveraged companies fail fast during downturns, and where stablecoins are creating trillion-dollar transaction opportunities. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Stas Sukhinin, a finance veteran with over 19 years of experience spanning investment banking, corporate lending, and alternative asset management. Stas began his career at internationally recognized institutions including UniCredit and Societe General, where he helped pioneer mezzanine loan products in Eastern Europe. By age 29, he had become a senior partner at one of the region's largest mezzanine lenders, managing a team of 20 finance professionals and overseeing a $450 million loan portfolio. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover what really happens inside credit committees when your loan application gets reviewed and why factors unrelated to your business can determine outcomes. Stas explains how strong companies can go from healthy to restructuring in just three to four months when leverage catches up with them, and the critical difference between how first-time owners and experienced operators approach debt decisions. You'll learn the two key factors that determine how much debt your business can handle, why working capital provisions in purchase agreements deserve more attention than most buyers give them, and how sellers legally present financials in the most favorable light. The conversation also covers Stas's experience investing in the 2017 ICO boom where 90% of projects went to zero but winners returned 50x to 100x, why venture capital investors sometimes block deals that would be life-changing for founders, and where stablecoin transaction volume is already reaching trillions while most people remain unaware. STAS'S JOURNEY: Stas's path into finance started at age 14 when a classmate brought a business magazine to school. Reading about business owners selling companies for millions crystallized his direction. He knew he wanted to be in corporate lending where he could see businesses, analyze financials, and speak directly with owners while working with numbers at a bank. His first role as a junior credit analyst gave him exactly that. He progressed from working with small businesses that had no financials to mid-sized companies to large corporations. Each step taught him more about how deals really get done from inside the institutions making funding decisions. CREDIT COMMITTEE INSIGHTS: Stas pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when loan applications reach credit committees. The reality differs dramatically from what most business owners imagine. Factors affecting approval can seem completely unrelated to the specific deal. Maybe the bank already has a competitor in their portfolio. Maybe the receivable financing department has a different relationship with someone in your industry. One offhand comment from a committee member who hasn't read the full memo can change the entire trajectory of a conversation or result in higher interest rates. DEBT MANAGEMENT LESSONS: The pattern Stas has seen destroy companies in months follows predictable steps. Revenue drops or stagnates. Margins deteriorate because of increased competition and client uncertainty. Debt ratios that looked comfortable suddenly reach concerning levels. Refinancing options disappear just when needed most. Interest rates climb. Everything compounds simultaneously. The difference between experienced and first-time business owners comes down to scenario planning. Experienced operators build safety margins and stress-test assumptions. First-time owners assume conditions will continue as they are. That assumption determines survival. ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: Stas joined a crypto investment fund at its inception in 2017 during the ICO boom. Out of many investments, approximately 90% went to zero. The winners returned 50x or 100x. His observation about liquidity cycles was particularly interesting. Traditional venture now averages seven-year holding periods while crypto projects can reach liquidity events in three or four years through token distributions. On stablecoins, Stas sees enormous opportunity in programmable money. Transaction volume is already in the trillions though most people in developed countries don't realize the scale. Goldman Sachs reportedly reduced bond settlement time from three days to minutes using blockchain technology. Perfect for business owners considering debt financing, entrepreneurs navigating capital raising, and anyone interested in how credit decisions really get made and where alternative investments are creating new opportunities.

With AI like ChatGPT now handling the customer journey from search to potentially the entire transaction, are we about to witness the end of the brand website as the primary point of conversion? Agility requires not just reacting to new technologies like AI, but proactively redesigning the core operating model of the marketing organization. It demands a shift from mastering a set of fixed channels to building a flexible system that can learn, test, and scale with entirely new platforms for discovery and engagement. Today, we're going to talk about how AI is fundamentally rewriting the playbook for marketing—from how customers discover brands in the first place, to the very nature of content creation, and the operational realities of building a team and a tech stack that can keep up. It's a topic filled with both existential threats and massive opportunities.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Lisa Avvocato, Chief Marketing Officer at Vitam and former VP of Marketing and Community at Sama.

Michael Kohagen structures mergers and acquisitions for clients across the deal spectrum, from family businesses selling for $5 million to headline-grabbing deals. He explains how smaller deals offer closer client relationships—often working directly with owners who lack M&A experience but know their business intimately. Michael walks through the deal process from confidentiality agreements and letters of intent through due diligence and purchase agreements, emphasizing his role coordinating specialists while drafting core transaction documents. He discusses how AI is beginning to change document review, why most M&A deals fail (time drag and initial misalignment), and how his central role creates both pressure and satisfaction. Michael is a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Law.This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.Mentioned in this episode:Colorado Law SchoolLearn more about Colorado LawLoyola Law SchoolLearn more about Loyola Law SchoolAccess LawHub today!

The source emphasizes that success is guaranteed through disciplined execution and the elimination of technical friction in the prospecting process. Attendees are offered a Platinum bundle that includes the software, weekly mastermind coaching, and personalized onboarding to help them transition from passive "farmers" to proactive deal-makers. Ultimately, the program aims to end the commission rollercoaster by providing agents with a reliable, repeatable system for filling their pipelines on demand.

I am joined this week by the brilliant and beautiful Patty Wexler. Patty is not only backing bold founders reimagining the future economy through Avila but also someone who has had such a unique story on this earth. From growing up in Venezuela as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors to becoming a venture capitalist investing in nuclear fusion and geothermal energy, Patty's journey is a masterclass in experiencing excellence and finding your path. Today, we dive deep into Patty's formative years split between Venezuela and New York, where she learned early that counting every penny was survival. You'll hear about the boss who picked up the phone and changed her life trajectory, her realization that $28,000 felt like infinite wealth until rent was due, and how she tasted excellence at the buffet of opportunities from consulting to Disney to tech investing. Patty shares her philosophy on why venture isn't for everyone, the critical importance of choosing financial partners like you're entering a marriage with children, and why she pivoted from typical Silicon Valley investing to backing companies working on humanity's biggest challenges. Listen as Patty talks about teaching her son to invest in her fund at age eight, the awkwardness of mixing money and personal relationships when fundraising, and her deep belief that we all need to stay involved with critical thinking as the world teeters on instability. This is a conversation about building wealth while keeping your eyes on the long-term future of our planet. Key Topics: Growing up with the epigenetics of Holocaust survival and what it means to count every penny Learning that the first leap is the hardest, but once you're an immigrant, there's more optionality Why early career is about experiencing different things to figure out what makes you tick Understanding that venture capital isn't for everyone and choosing the right financial partners is like marriage with children Making the pivot from lazy Silicon Valley investing to backing nuclear fusion and geothermal energy Teaching your kids that privilege isn't random and comes from working very hard Why the world needs critical thinking and long-term vision when everything feels unstable   Connect with Patty online: Website: https://www.avila.vc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patriciahalfenwexler/ Instagram: @pattywexler @avila.vc   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: wealthcatalyst.com Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/ Download Syama's Free Resources: wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com
