    Trump's lawyers just made a major blunder, subjecting him to a deposition under oath about Jan6 and his role in leading the insurrection. Michael Popok explains how a Federal Judge's order in Miami requiring that discovery go forward in Trump's suit against the BBC for reporting on his insurrection leading the Ellipse Speech on Jan6, puts Trump under oath and perhaps forced to take the 5th Amendment.

    00:00 – Welcome: The Church as a "Meeting of Sinners" The speaker opens the second day of the 23rd-anniversary celebration by defining the church not as a place for the perfect, but as a gathering of people who recognize they are sinners in need of God's help. No one is greater than another; all are equal in their need for grace.• 04:15 – The Trap of "Business-Like" Faith A warning against treating your relationship with God as a transaction. The speaker critiques those who come to the "Beautiful Gate" of the temple merely seeking temporary relief or "small change" rather than a total life transformation.• 08:30 – Are You Insulting God? The Billionaire Analogy Using the example of the Samaritan woman and the billionaire analogy, the speaker explains that we often insult God by asking for "ten rupees" (minor fixes) when He is a "multi-millionaire" capable of doing immeasurably more than we can imagine.• 12:45 – Restoration Over Relief: Changing Your Habits While God changes our thoughts through His Word, we are responsible for changing our habits. The speaker challenges the congregation to stop asking for "painkillers" for their problems and instead ask God to change the lifestyles that cause the pain.• 17:10 – The Responsibility of the Church: Lessons from the 5,000 Drawing from the feeding of the 5,000, the speaker explains that God often gives us responsibilities to test our faith. We are called to bring what little we have—our "five loaves and two fish"—and watch Him multiply it.• 22:00 – It's Not Too Late: The Examples of Anna and Simeon A message of hope for those who feel their dreams have died. Using the biblical figures Anna and Simeon, the speaker illustrates that God has a specific plan for every stage of life, and your purpose is not over.• 26:30 – Step 1: SEE – Recognizing the Needs Around You The first part of the church's new mandate is to "stop and look". Believers are challenged to step out of their busy schedules to notice the suffering and needs of their neighbors and colleagues.• 31:15 – Finding True Rest: The "Bundle of Grass" Analogy The speaker shares a humorous story of a woman carrying a heavy load while sitting in a tractor. This serves as a metaphor for believers who attend church but refuse to let God carry their heavy burdens, choosing instead to "carry the bundle" on their own heads.• 36:40 – Step 2: SPEAK – The Authority of the Name of Jesus Believers are urged to move beyond vague, positive platitudes. Like Peter and John, we must boldly declare the Name of Jesus in our conversations, as His Name is the only one with the authority to heal and provide true hope.• 41:50 – Step 3: LIFT – Turning Faith into Tangible Action Faith requires action. Just as Peter reached out to lift the lame man, the church must tangibly support those in need. The speaker explains that when we take the first step to "lift" someone, God provides the "strength to the ankles" to complete the miracle.• 47:00 – Conclusion: Facing Giants in the Name of the Lord The message concludes with the story of David and Goliath. David's victory did not come from human weapons or armor, but from his confidence in the Name of the Lord of Hosts, a confidence every believer can have entering the new year.

    Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this electrifying continuation of his conversation with geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan, Tom dives into the forces shaping the next era of global power. From the much-debated Thucydides' Trap and the real state of China's future to America's political and demographic crossroads, this episode is a masterclass in understanding the seismic shifts rocking our world. Peter Zeihan makes a compelling case for why China's rise might not be the threat many fear, citing geopolitical bottlenecks, demographic crises, and internal political strife. The conversation then takes a sharp, honest look at America's own challenges—from aging demographics and political party chaos to the hard realities of reindustrialization and immigration reform. Along the way, Tom Bilyeu and Peter Zeihan examine the impact of social media on truth, the lessons (and perils) of historical mass migrations, and whether technology can rescue countries facing population decline. Get ready to have your assumptions challenged and your worldview expanded with practical insights on what's really at stake for the future of nations.

    You help clients solve the exact problems you're avoiding in your own business, and a single phrase is keeping you stuck."I should know better." You've probably said it about your pipeline, your pricing, your business development habits, or that operational issue you keep putting off. It sounds like self-awareness. Maybe even humility. But Melisa Liberman makes the case that this thought is quietly costing you clients, revenue, and confidence.In this episode, Melisa breaks down why independent consultants are uniquely prone to this trap. You're literally paid to solve problems, so struggling with your own feels like a personal failing.

    Are fraud rings quietly manipulating the trucking industry? Are brokers relying too much on outdated Certificate of Insurance? And what happens when stricter DOT enforcement reshapes how freight moves across the country? In this episode, Cameron Pechia of Valley Trucking Insurance explains how organized trucking fraud - from chameleon carriers and fake insurance documents to criminal syndicates influencing CDLs, financing, and compliance - is forcing brokers and carriers to tighten verification processes and rethink risk management across the supply chain! We talk about why Certificate of Insurance is a weak proof without direct verification, how upcoming DOT regulations and increased enforcement may trigger short-term spikes in freight fraud, and why brokers should implement 30-60 day insurance and credential re-verification cycles to protect loads. Cam also dives into how stronger regulatory standards, better insurance verification practices, and real collaboration with trusted providers can help ethical trucking companies thrive while improving market stability, reducing carrier failure rates, and strengthening overall supply chain security.   About Cameron Pechia Cameron is the founder of Valley Trucking Insurance, a leading Trucking Insurance Agency based in Spokane, Washington.

    Real Estate Money School
    Putting Your Money in Buckets Is a Trap, Do This Instead w/ Joseph Kovacevic

    Real Estate Money School

    Most people think financial freedom comes from earning more, saving harder, or finding the perfect investment. But the real trap isn't income…it's the way we're taught to store and move money. We're told to separate everything into neat little buckets: checking, savings, mortgage, credit cards, investments. And somehow, even when we're "doing well," the system still feels tight, slow, and exhausting. The traditional system is wildly inefficient by design. A 3–4% mortgage isn't really 3–4% at all. It's closer to 12–15% in simple interest once you account for amortization. Savings accounts paying 1–3% sit right next to debt costing 8–25%, and no one ever teaches us to connect those two dots. We're working hard, being disciplined, and still leaking money through invisible cracks. Instead of playing by those rules, Joseph Kovacevic built a completely different operating system: one pot, one line, one flow. All income goes into a first lien HELOC, and all expenses come out of it.  No idle cash, no artificial separation between "good money" and "bad money." How did he go from using money like everyone else to building an entirely different financial system? Why do people struggle so much to understand and actually implement this system? In this episode, entrepreneur, money mentor, and first lien HELOC specialist Joseph Kovacevic breaks down how he's been running this system for over 15 years - from quitting the railroad, to scaling real estate, to using HELOCs and insurance policies as an integrated financial engine.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Your mortgage interest isn't what you think it is A "low" 3–5% mortgage is actually closer to 12–15% in simple interest over 30 years, so what are you really paying for homeownership? Why savings accounts make you poorer, not safer If you're earning 1–3% in savings while paying 8–25% on debt, are you actually saving, or quietly burning money? The one-pot system that replaces budgeting entirely What happens when all income, expenses, investing, and saving run through a single HELOC instead of 10 separate accounts? How to become the bank instead of borrowing from one From infinite banking to lending your own capital at 12%+, how do you turn cash flow into a self-funding wealth machine?   Guest Bio Joseph Kovacevic is an entrepreneur, Money Mentor, and first lien HELOC specialist.  At 23 years old, he hired out on the railroad for a career that lasted almost 20 years. He has been investing in real estate since 2000. Between managing rental properties and flipping houses, he was able to escape the corporate world and become an entrepreneur. In 2018, he met Chris Naugle at a Home show in Buffalo, NY, and was later introduced to Brent Kesler, who introduced him to IBC. After years of using the Infinite Banking Concept, he now wants to share IBC with everyone. Being a part of The Money School and The Money Multiplier team, he now helps others break away from conformity and pursue their dreams.

    If you feel like you're having the same leadership conversations on repeat, the problem isn't your team — it's how you're handling tension. In this episode of The Leadership Sandbox, Tammy J. Bond calls out the push-pull trap that keeps leaders stuck swinging between control and compassion, speed and safety, authority and inclusion. What looks like decisiveness is often a reaction. And over time, that reactive pattern quietly erodes trust, consistency, and credibility. You'll learn why some leadership challenges aren't meant to be solved, but held — and how strong leaders lead through tension instead of trying to escape it. This episode is for leaders who are tired of whiplash, ready to stop reacting, and willing to stand in the discomfort long enough to lead with clarity. Bottom line: Push-pull isn't the problem. Not naming it is.

Drawing from nearly three decades as a psychotherapist and love specialist, Andrea weaves personal story with clinical wisdom, offering a grounded and deeply human look at what it means to release the identities we were handed and reclaim the truth of who we are. This episode is not simply about insight—it is about integration.Through vulnerable reflection and guided inquiry, Andrea explores how attachment wounds, trauma patterns, and the drive to prove our worth can subtly shape our relationships and sense of self. With compassion and clarity, she illuminates how disconnection from the body often keeps us stuck in cycles of overgiving, performing, or striving for love.

    HR2 The Two-Party Debate That Exposes How Power Really Works, and the Trap Few See Coming. (2-10-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason pulls back the curtain on the economic forces quietly reshaping everyday life—from interest rates and housing to global power and artificial intelligence. John Rush and Andy Peth are joined by Jordan Goodman, America's Money Answer Man, for a fast-moving conversation that connects the dots between the Federal Reserve, national debt, and political pressure. What happens when foreign nations lose confidence in U.S. Treasuries—and what does that mean for interest rates, inflation, and housing affordability? The discussion expands into global strategy, examining China's grip on gold, silver, and rare-earth minerals, and whether the U.S. can realistically regain control through projects such as domestic mining and refining. Then the lens shifts to the future: prediction markets outperforming polls, crypto's brutal volatility, and AI's rapid takeover of entire industries. From journalism layoffs to software companies losing relevance, the hour raises an uncomfortable question: Are jobs, institutions, and even governments adapting fast enough? This is a wide-angle look at power, money, and technology colliding… and the consequences most people aren't ready for. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives headfirst into one of the most explosive questions in American politics: is the two-party system broken—or is breaking it exactly what empowers the wrong people? John Rush and Andy Pate are joined by Tom Joseph, founder of America's Main Street Party (https://www.mainstreetparty.org/), who lays out a bold plan to overhaul how candidates are nominated using technology, voter engagement, and a money-free process. Could an “Olympic-style” system finally break the grip of incumbents and party insiders? After Joseph exits, the gloves come off. John and Andy examine why third-party movements may weaken individual liberty by splintering conservatives while collectivists stay unified. From voter psychology to consumer power, free will, faith, and political realism, the conversation challenges assumptions many voters take for granted. The hour closes with a blunt assessment of Colorado politics, the Victor Marks debate, and the uncomfortable truth that few people are actually deciding elections right now. Is principle enough to win—or does strategy decide the future? If you think you understand how power really works, this hour will force you to rethink it. ⏱️ Guest Timestamps * Tom Joseph – America's Main Street Party - 1:10 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason pulls no punches as John and Andy confront the brutal realities of winning statewide in Colorado. With the gubernatorial field crowded and fractured, they argue that electability—not ideology—will determine the outcome, and they openly assess which Republican candidates have a path forward and which ones quietly help Democrats by splitting the vote. The conversation widens into a blistering critique of Colorado's political landscape, from activist statewide officials to a base that rewards passion over strategy. John and Andy press listeners with a simple but uncomfortable question: how does your candidate actually beat Michael Bennet in the general election? Then the hour takes a sharp turn into healthcare, as they react to calls from National Nurses United to abolish ICE and revisit COVID-era treatment of patients. Can medical professionals remain trusted when activism enters the exam room? A caller underscores the concern, recalling pharmacies that refused to fill doctor-prescribed medications—and the lack of accountability that followed. The hour closes with a hard reset on messaging about property taxes, crime, roads, and homelessness. If candidates can't focus on what hurts voters right now, does anything else matter?

    In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby sits down with Nick Massaro of Membrane for a candid, no-BS conversation about what actually holds good salespeople back. From early sales foundations and structured training to the mindset traps that quietly derail deals, this episode digs into the space between opening and closing—the part most reps avoid and where deals are truly won or lost. Nick shares his journey into sales, the evolution of his mindset, and the hard-earned realization that being "the most liked rep" is often a sign something went wrong. Together, they unpack the dangers of approval-seeking, why discomfort is part of great selling, and how modern buyers require a different kind of leadership from sales professionals. This is a grounded, honest conversation for salespeople who want to stop getting compliments instead of contracts. Episode Highlights Why "You were the best rep" is often a kiss of death The difference between opening deals and advancing them How early structure shaped Nick's sales foundation The mindset shift required to lead buyers without controlling them Why avoiding money conversations quietly kills deals Selling outcomes vs. selling features—especially in complex software Letting go of approval to ask better questions What great sales and good parenting surprisingly have in common Key Takeaways Being liked doesn't equal being effective The middle of the deal—not the open or close—is where salespeople grow Approval-seeking prevents tough (necessary) conversations Buyers are in control—but salespeople must still lead Discovery isn't about sounding smart; it's about creating clarity Authenticity beats polish every time Process creates freedom, not rigidity Who Should Listen This episode is for: Salespeople who hear "we loved you" more than "we're buying" Reps who love prospecting but struggle with deal momentum Sales leaders coaching mindset, not just activity Anyone selling complex or non-commodity solutions Business owners trying to understand what their sales team is really up against About the Guest Nick Massaro is a sales professional at Membrane with a background spanning insurance, SaaS, and sales-as-a-service environments.

    Protect your insulation business from liability and ensure you get paid for every job with expert legal strategies designed specifically for contractors. Learn why a handshake isn't enough and how a proper contract can save you from expensive litigation. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Karalynn Cromeens, Managing Partner of The Cromeens Law Firm and host of the "Quit Getting Screwed" podcast. Construction law expert Karalynn Cromeens joins the show to discuss the critical importance of written contracts in the residential insulation industry. She explains why "managing expectations" is the number one defense against lawsuits and how specific contract language can limit liability, especially for spray foam applicators dealing with pre-existing building defects. The discussion highlights the dangers of working without a signed agreement—even for small or pro-bono jobs—and provides actionable advice on how to structure warranties to avoid the "never-ending punch list" that delays final payment. Beyond contracts, the conversation shifts to dispute resolution and the financial side of running a contracting business. Karalynn shares candid advice on why settling fast is often better than being "right" in court and why you should trust your gut when a potential client raises red flags. Listeners will also learn about the legal necessities of change orders, the protection offered by incorporating as an LLC versus a sole proprietorship, and how to effectively leverage liens and demand letters to ensure payment. Inside this episode... 02:05 – Karalynn's background in the industry and the mission of the Subcontractor Institute. 05:21 – The importance of a clear Scope of Work to manage homeowner expectations and avoid "HGTV" standards. 07:08 – Distinguishing between punch lists and warranty claims to finalize jobs and get paid faster. 10:04 – Limiting liability for spray foam contractors when facing poor building conditions or incorrect substrates. 16:32 – Why settling a dispute quickly is often cheaper and less stressful than winning in litigation. 22:14 – Implementing cancellation fees to protect your profit if a homeowner breaches the contract

It's about cars, car payments, and the long-term impact of locking yourself into expensive monthly obligations early in your career.   We look at why Gen Z car payments are higher than ever, why luxury cars are more common, and how auto loans, leases, and lifestyle inflation quietly destroy flexibility, opportunity, and wealth-building potential. By the end of this video, you'll understand how car debt, depreciation, insurance costs, and long-term monthly payments affect your ability to invest, change jobs, move cities, and take risks when it matters most.   If you're Gen Z, in your 20s, or early in your career and wondering why you feel stuck, stressed, or broke despite earning more than you ever have, this video explains the hidden math behind car ownership, car financing, and why so many young people regret their first big purchase.   Topics covered include Gen Z finance, car payments, car loans, luxury cars, car loan payments, lifestyle inflation, wealth building in your 20s, financial mistakes Gen Z makes, being broke in your 20s, personal finance for young adults, auto loans, car depreciation, monthly expenses, opportunity cost, and how expensive cars impact long-term net worth.

    I see this pattern constantly with nonprofit leaders: staying busy, staying loyal to systems and strategies that feel familiar, and wondering why results have plateaued. Today, I break down what I call the familiarity trap,  the tendency to cling to fundraising tactics, tools, and routines not because they're effective, but because they're comfortable. I talk about how burnout often shows up as indecision, avoidance, and endless tinkering instead of forward momentum. I unpack why familiarity feels safe to the brain, how it keeps leaders stuck in low-impact work, and why decisiveness (not perfection) is the fastest way out. If you're circling the same decisions, rewriting the same content, avoiding donor outreach, or telling yourself you'll “deal with it later,” this episode will help you recognize what's actually happening and show you how to interrupt the cycle with clarity and courage.Topics:What the familiarity trap is and why it's so common in nonprofitsHow burnout shows up as indecision and avoidanceWhy “thinking about thinking” keeps leaders stuckThe neuroscience behind comfort, fear, and decision-makingWhy decisiveness beats perfection every timeHow familiar tasks drain energy without moving revenueThe cost of delaying donor outreach and key decisionsHow to choose one path and commit long enough to see resultsThe difference between being careful and being stalledFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

    So many of us grow up believing that love means fixing, managing, or predicting other people. It feels safer to silence our needs than risk being "too much." But what if that survival strategy is actually what keeps us disconnected? In part two of this three part series, Justin and Abi continue their conversation on codependency, sharing how growing up in chaotic homes taught them to avoid vulnerability and chase the illusion of peace. They unpack what happens when we don't know our own needs, why denial keeps us stuck, and how self-awareness becomes the key to real connection. Along the way, they explore how faith often reinforced control and what it looks like to reframe love through trust, autonomy, and compassion. If you've ever felt like your very existence is a burden, or you're exhausted from controlling people in the name of care, this episode will help you find freedom and breathe again.

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, I'm calling out the most common, most immature move men make after they finally start doing the bare minimum: demanding their spouse regulate perfectly while they're still paying off a decade of damage. You don't get to rack up the emotional debt and then complain about the interest rate. You don't get to wreck the foundation and then cry about dust.We'll talk about why spouses can't “just flip the switch” (stress, hypervigilance, betrayal trauma, nervous system conditioning), what actual leadership looks like in repair, and when it does become fair to have mutual accountability conversations (hint: not 30 days in). Tough for the guys. Validating for spouses. Necessary for anyone who actually wants their marriage back.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

    What happens when winning stops feeling like enough and achievement quietly turns into a trap? In this mashup episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with high performers. People who are doing well on the outside but feel empty, restless, or disconnected on the inside. This conversation is about escaping the achievement trap and redefining success in a way that actually brings peace, fulfillment, and joy. I sit down with LeAnn Rimes to unpack what it looks like to grow up chasing validation and applause, only to realize later that external success cannot heal internal wounds. LeAnn opens up about the emotional cost of performing for approval, the courage it takes to slow down, and how self awareness and self compassion became the real breakthroughs in her life. Her honesty is powerful and it speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt pressure to keep proving themselves. I also bring in Rob Dyrdek, who shares how redefining his definition of winning changed everything. Rob talks about shifting from grinding nonstop to building a life by design, where happiness, relationships, and impact matter just as much as productivity. This is a masterclass in intentional living and understanding that fulfillment is not found in the next milestone, but in alignment with who you really are. Throughout this mashup, I break down the mindset shifts that help you move from chasing achievements to creating meaning. We talk about why so many driven people feel unfulfilled, how comparison fuels the trap, and what it actually takes to feel proud of your life, not just your resume. If you have ever thought, I should feel happier than this by now, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Why constant achievement can quietly disconnect you from fulfillment How external validation creates pressure instead of peace The mindset shift from proving yourself to accepting yourself How to redefine success in a way that supports happiness and relationships Why slowing down can actually accelerate clarity and purpose This is about learning to win without losing yourself. It is about success that feels good to live with, not just impressive to look at. My hope is that this episode gives you permission to redefine the game and start playing it in a way that truly serves you. ⁠⁠⁠
