Michael Pettis joins Alan Dunne for a wide ranging conversation on trade imbalances, globalization and the future of the world economy. Drawing on decades of research into China, Europe and financial history, Pettis argues that persistent trade surpluses are ultimately rooted in domestic income imbalances rather than national competitiveness. The discussion explores why China struggles to rebalance, why Europe may face its biggest challenge yet, and how US reindustrialization could reshape global trade. From Bretton Woods to modern tariffs, this episode offers a provocative framework for understanding the forces driving the next phase of the global economy.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Michael on X.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Michael Pettis warns that the real trade reckoning may still lie ahead01:07 - Introduction to Michael Pettis and his background in finance and economics06:34 - Why trade imbalances are ultimately driven by income imbalances09:59 - Germany's Hartz reforms and the roots of European imbalances17:22 - Competitiveness versus productivity and the hidden costs of wage suppression27:48 - China's growth model and why rebalancing has proved so difficult35:54 - Who will absorb China's trade surplus if the US closes its deficit?40:24 - Can the United States successfully reindustrialize?45:31 - Why Europe may eventually turn toward protectionism52:17 - The US deficit, global capital flows and the burden of dollar dominance01:01:50 - Why the renminbi is unlikely to replace the dollar01:10:45 - Historical trade imbalances and how painful adjustments unfold01:16:21 - What Japan's experience reveals about China's future01:21:02 - Final reflections on debt, globalization and economic adjustmentCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

I want to talk about one of the most dangerous games people play without even realizing it: chasing applause instead of purpose. Whether it is posting goals for likes, needing recognition at work, or building a career around what others think of you, the applause trap is real and it costs more than most people are willing to admit. In this episode, I get honest about my own season of chasing the wrong things and walk through a simple but confronting question that changes everything. The lesson here is not just about motivation. It is about what kind of sleep you get at night. Key Takeaways Chasing applause instead of purpose is one of the most expensive and least rewarding games you can play. New Year's resolutions and public goal-setting often fail because the motivation is rooted in how others perceive you, not in genuine commitment. Doing the right thing for the cause matters even when no one gives you credit for it. Attention is a currency with a very high cost and very little lasting value. Integrity and cause-driven work give you something applause never can: the ability to sleep at night. Action Steps Write down your top goal and honestly answer the question: am I doing this for the cause or for the credit? If the answer involves what others will think, redefine your why. The next time you feel overlooked or uncredited at work or in a project, ask yourself if the work actually served its purpose. If it did, let that be enough. Audit one area of your life where you are seeking external validation and identify one concrete reason that has nothing to do with applause that would still make that pursuit worthwhile. Notable Quote Attention is the most expensive currency in the world because it costs the most but has little payoff and little value.

Jim Lebenthal, Chief Market Strategist at Cerity Partners, joins Travis to share lessons from more than 25 years of managing investment portfolios and advising clients through every type of market environment. A former U.S. Navy submarine officer and regular CNBC contributor, Jim brings a unique perspective on investing, discipline, risk management, and human behavior. Drawing from his new book, How to Ride the Subway, he explains why successful investing often comes down to patience, trust, and resisting the urge to outsmart the market. On this episode we talk about: How Jim's early experiences investing shaped his career in wealth management Lessons learned from serving as a nuclear submarine officer in the U.S. Navy Why trust, empathy, and communication are essential in financial advising The dangers of market timing, day trading, and speculative investing Current market conditions, inflation concerns, and the future of major AI-driven IPOs Top 3 Takeaways Long-term investing consistently outperforms attempts to time the market, and missing just a handful of the market's best days can dramatically reduce returns. Successful financial advisors build trust through empathy, honesty, and consistent communication—not just investment performance. Speculation and gambling often masquerade as investing, but true wealth creation comes from patience, discipline, and owning quality assets over time. Notable Quotes "Trust is the currency of the financial advisory world." "The best days in the market almost always happen right next to the worst days." "Trading rapidly is a good way to lose money."

You're 15 minutes from the end of your presentation. And you're only halfway through your content. That sick feeling your audience has? That's not inspiration. That's overwhelm. In this solo episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the number one mistake speakers make when presenting to sell: over-teaching. You think you're giving value. Your audience thinks they just ate too much at an all-you-can-eat buffet and can't move. Here's the brutal truth: teaching more doesn't make people buy from you. It actually loses the sale. Most speakers don't realize the gap between what feels simple to them (because they're the expert) and what feels overwhelming to their audience (because they're experiencing it for the first time at your speed). This is the Expert's Dilemma. And it's costing you conversions. I walk through four core concepts that will transform how you structure your presentations: What you'll learn: → The Expert's Dilemma - Why what feels simple to you overwhelms your audience instantly → Stay above the Lose the Sale Line - The difference between concepts/stories (above) and tactics/how-tos (below) that kill conversions → Infusion selling beats content dumps - Why mixing speaking and selling together converts better than teaching for 45 minutes then selling for 5 → Balance the Brain - Mix left brain (logic, frameworks, stats) with right brain (stories, metaphors, emotions) for maximum impact → Why step-by-step tactics make people think they can do it alone (and leave your offer) Real insights from the episode: The all-you-can-eat buffet metaphor that explains exactly how your audience feels when you overteach How previous speakers going over time forced me to cut a 50-minute presentation by 20 minutes (and why this happens) Why being helpful + trying to prove credibility = recipe for over-teaching The imaginary "red line" that separates what sells from what loses the sale How confusion actually builds more credibility than complexity Why balance in your presentation design matters more than comprehensiveness The difference between a well-structured meal and the all-you-can-eat buffet experience How infusion selling lets your audience consume content without realizing you're selling   Join our next Speak to Convert Masterclass.

When many leave traditional employment to start their own business, they dream of freedom, creativity, and fulfillment. Yet the reality often looks eerily familiar. Even after making that bold leap, it's easy to recreate the same patterns and pitfalls from corporate life—scope creep, burnout, and that ever-present sense of chasing moving goalposts.For today's guest, Jabari Allen, a tech consultant specializing in AI reliability, the early entrepreneurial road was filled with the same energy-draining dynamics he'd hoped to escape. But what makes Jabari's story so unique is the intersectionality at play: building a business while navigating the realities of being Black and neurodivergent in the predominantly white tech industry. Jabari shares what it feels like to be “the only one” in the room, and how owning every facet of his identity—rather than hiding or compensating—becomes the most radical business strategy of all.This Client Success Story is a vulnerable and inspiring conversation about evolving your entrepreneurial identity and what is possible with a thought partner who challenges you to move beyond proving your worth into owning your power.Here's What You'll Learn in This EpisodeTrusting Your Intuition Matters: What it really means to listen to your gut in business, especially when everyone else seems to know better People-Pleasing Isn't Always Obvious: Discover the sneaky ways people-pleasing shows up for entrepreneurs—and why setting boundaries is actually better for you and your clients Intersectionality & Self-Advocacy: Gain insight into what it's like to navigate tech as a Black neurodivergent professional, and how those layers shape confidence and communication Embracing Your Thought Leadership: Learning how to shift from “technician” to “expert”—and how the simplest offer can be both disruptive and profitable Fun Fact from the EpisodeThere's a term in the tech industry for endlessly fussing with tiny details called “yak shaving.” Turns out, it's not just about perfecting code—but can be a major sign you're avoiding a bigger decision. Jabari calls it circling the drain, and I refer to it as fluffing the pillows. Whether it's the obsessive nature of ADHD perfectionism, anxiety about feeling we need to prove ourselves, or keeping ourselves too busy with the small stuff to confront the big stuff, or a combination plate of all of the above, set a limit on this tendency to keep from holding yourself back while feeling productive.

Self-improvement becomes a problem not when you want to grow, but when you can't stop — when the pursuit of better shifts from something you choose to something that's running in the background whether you want it to or not. The growth trap is what happens when self-improvement stops being a tool and starts being a treadmill, and the difference between the two can be almost invisible until you know what to look for. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the growth trap looks exactly like motivation from the outside — and often from the inside too The distinction between "becoming" (moving toward something you want) and "escaping" (moving away from something you're not ready to feel) Six specific signs that self-improvement has crossed into avoidance Why self-worth that rises and falls with productivity is one of the clearest warning signals What presence, acceptance, and integration actually mean — and why all three are required for sustainable growth Why integration is the most overlooked piece of personal development A practical 15-minute invitation for this week that costs nothing and reveals a lot Episode Timestamps [0:00] Introduction [1:00] What the growth trap actually is [3:00] Why self-improvement is not the problem [5:00] How growth becomes avoidance [8:00] Becoming vs. escaping — the key distinction [11:00] Six signs self-improvement has become another way to run [13:00] The emotional cost of constantly trying to fix yourself [15:00] Presence, acceptance, and integration [17:00] Integration: the missing piece [18:00] Closing questions and weekly practice Episode Summary Most high-achievers don't have a growth problem — they have a relationship problem with stillness. The growth trap Brett describes in this episode isn't about ambition or discipline. It isn't even about the specific habits or goals someone has. It's about the engine underneath: whether growth is moving you toward something you genuinely want, or whether it's keeping you busy enough that you don't have to feel something you're not ready to face. The trap is hard to spot because from the outside — and often from the inside — avoidance-driven growth looks identical to healthy, motivated self-improvement. Same morning routine. Same workout schedule. Same reading list. The difference isn't the activity. It's the relationship to stillness. As Brett puts it: one person's running toward a finish line they actually want to cross; the other is running because something's chasing them. Two people can have the exact same workout schedule and the exact same reading list. For one of them it's fuel. For the other it's flight. A key framework in this episode is the distinction between becoming and escaping. Becoming is movement toward — driven by curiosity about who you could be. Escaping is movement away from — driven by not being able to stand who you are right now. The practical difference: becoming can hold ambition and acceptance at the same time. Escaping can't. In escaping, growth becomes conditional — you don't get to feel okay until you've hit the next goal, and once you do, the goalposts move, because the goal was never really the goal. The goal was relief. Brett names six signs worth paying attention to. You feel anxious or restless without a goal to chase. Your sense of self-worth rises and falls with your productivity. You're constantly consuming — more books, more frameworks, more podcasts — but rarely pausing to actually live what you've already learned. Rest feels like something you have to earn or recover from guilt about. When something painful happens, your first move is always to fix it before you've let yourself feel it. And there's a quiet background sense that you'll finally be okay once you get there — except "there" keeps moving. The emotional cost Brett describes is specific: it's not the tiredness of hard work. It's the tiredness of never being allowed to just be a person, of never getting to clock out from the project of yourself. Over time, that kind of growth makes your relationship with yourself adversarial — always evaluating, always finding the gap, always pointing at what's next. No amount of external achievement can resolve an internal belief that you're fundamentally not okay as you are. The alternative isn't to stop growing. It's to make sure growth has three things alongside it: presence, acceptance, and integration. Presence means being able to be where you are — including in discomfort or stillness — without immediately needing to fix or improve it. Acceptance means being fully okay with who you are right now and still wanting to grow. These aren't opposites. As Brett says, you can plant a garden because you love the land, not because you hate how it looks right now. And integration — the most overlooked piece — means actually living what you've learned, letting an insight change how you show up instead of collecting it and moving on to the next thing before it's had time to settle. This episode is a natural companion to everything on the Growth & Self-Becoming pillar — particularly the question of what it actually means to grow into who you want to be, rather than just optimizing further and faster. Brett closes with five reflection questions and a simple weekly practice: one day, 15 minutes, nothing productive. No podcast, no journaling prompt, no plan. Just sit. And when the discomfort shows up — don't fix it. Notice it. That's the whole practice, because if growth is going to be sustainable, it has to be able to coexist with moments of doing nothing at all.

Tim delivers a passionate message focused on John 13:34–35. He begins by introducing the biblical context of the passage, noting that it takes place within the "Upper Room Discourse," where Jesus delivers His farewell address to His closest followers right before finishing His earthly ministry in Jerusalem. Within this critical final charge, Jesus issues what He calls a "new command": “Love one another as I have loved you so you must love one another.” Tim explains that the command to love is not historically "new" to the disciples, as they were deeply familiar with the Old Testament laws to love God and love their neighbors. What makes it revolutionary is the person giving the command—Jesus—and the fact that He places Himself at the very center as the ultimate definition and source of this love. Tim emphasizes that a person cannot truly understand or define biblical love unless they intimately know Jesus, warning against letting the secular world dictate the definition of love. To show how biblical love departs from the world's transactional version, Tim unpacks the profound terminology used across Scripture. In the Old Testament, the primary word is hesed—a complex, multi-dimensional concept combining loyalty, kindness, promise-keeping, and mercy. It represents a covenant commitment where God consistently leans His blessing toward humanity despite their unfaithfulness. In the New Testament, the Greek word is agape, which refers to a sacrificial, deliberate laying down of one's own conveniences for the sake of others. Merging these concepts, Tim defines biblical love as a holy, self-giving commitment that expresses itself in tangible actions to benefit others, remaining entirely independent of feelings or the recipient's behavior. The challenge of this command becomes evident when looking at the intense diversity of the disciples Jesus gathered. The group included competing brothers, rough fishermen, a corrupt tax collector, a politically radical zealot, and women delivered from evil spirits. Tim notes that the modern church mirrors this exact same messy, diverse family dynamic. Believers are called to love people from vastly different backgrounds, including those whose political or social views might normally frustrate them, and even those who become outright enemies. Ultimately, Tim declares that this supernatural, unconditional love is intended to be the primary distinguishing mark of a Christian. While human nature relies on transactional relationships—cutting people off when they are no longer beneficial—spirit-filled love sticks with people sacrificially, which acts as the ultimate verification to the world that someone truly belongs to Christ. Grounding the congregation in the reassuring truth that God's anchor-like love never changes based on our performance, he challenges believers to look at the sacrifice of Christ and be daily compelled to extend that same sacrificial grace to the difficult people in their own lives. Discussion Questions for Practical Application Defining Love on God's Terms: Tim explicitly noted that we cannot let the world define love for us, defining biblical love instead as a commitment expressed in tangible actions independent of feelings. In what ways does the world's definition of love (e.g., based on emotional connection, compatibility, or transaction) creep into your own relationships? How can you consciously shift your mindset to view love as a deliberate agape commitment this week? Loving the "Diverse Disciples" in Your Circle: The original disciples included people with massive political and social divides, much like the modern church family. Think of someone in your immediate faith community, workplace, or family whose behavior, opinions, or background genuinely test your patience. Based on Jesus' command, what is one practical, tangible action you can take to show them biblical love, regardless of how you feel? The Trap of Transactional Relationships: Tim observed that it is natural human behavior to cut people off the moment they stop benefiting us or making us happy. Is there a relationship in your life right now that you have emotionally "cut off" or distanced yourself from because it became inconvenient or difficult? How does remembering Christ's unwavering hesed toward you alter your perspective on that person? Living as a Visible Replica: According to John 13:35, supernatural love is supposed to be our defining mark that proves to the world we are disciples. If an outside observer looked strictly at how you treat a difficult spouse, a tough neighbor, or a demanding boss, would they see a distinct reflection of Jesus? What is one specific area where you need to pray for the Holy Spirit to implant the power to love sacrificially?

Before walking onto a stage, there's always a certain amount of self-talk. For years, a colleague and I would encourage each other with a simple pep talk before a concert—something to sharpen our focus and concentration. Coaches do the same before athletic events. These moments are designed to build confidence, motivation, and clarity. Today's message is a kind of pep talk as well—a reminder to realign with what truly matters: our values, purpose, and the life we're intentionally creating. At halftime of life, we are often given a unique opportunity: the chance to reassess, realign, and intentionally create a next chapter based not on pressure or performance, but on purpose and values. This stage of life is not about starting over from zero. It is about building wisely from everything already accumulated—skills, experience, relationships, wisdom, resilience, and perspective.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of the greatest challenges in spiritual growth: breaking deeply ingrained habits. The Orchot Tzaddikim teaches that repeated behavior gradually becomes normalized until a person no longer sees it as wrong. Sins that are repeated frequently can begin to feel permissible, making genuine repentance far more difficult. Therefore, a person seeking teshuvah must establish strong boundaries, cultivate determination, and consciously distance themselves from negative habits until those behaviors become foreign and even repulsive to them. The episode emphasizes that repentance is not a one-time event but an ongoing process of refinement. Rabbi Wolbe explains that just as a stained garment may require multiple washings before every trace of dirt disappears, the soul may require repeated layers of repentance before it is fully cleansed. Even when a person has already apologized or sought forgiveness, deeper levels of understanding may emerge later in life, requiring additional reflection, remorse, and spiritual repair. True teshuvah continually revisits past mistakes with greater maturity and awareness. The lesson then introduces the first two foundational pillars of repentance. The first is charatah—genuine regret for having distanced oneself from Hashem and misused the gifts, opportunities, and potential entrusted to them.

In Part 2 of our conversation with financial strategist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author Mel Abraham, we move beyond financial strategy and into the emotional realities of entrepreneurship.  Together, Lisa and Mel explore the hidden relationship many business owners have with success, achievement, identity, self-worth, and burnout. They discuss why so many entrepreneurs tie their value to business performance, why reaching the next milestone rarely creates lasting peace, and how defining your version of "enough" may be one of the most important business decisions you'll ever make.  This conversation is a powerful reminder that building a successful studio is only part of the journey. The ultimate goal is building a life you actually enjoy living.  What You'll Learn  Why success doesn't automatically create fulfillment  How entrepreneurs become addicted to achievement  The dangers of tying your identity to your business  Why burnout should never be a badge of honor  How to align your business with your personal values  What adversity can teach you about resilience  Why defining "enough" matters for long-term happiness  How to stop living in comparison and start living intentionally  Why time is the ultimate currency  How to build a business that serves your life instead of consuming it  Mel Abraham is a CPA, entrepreneur, business advisor, and bestselling author of Building Your Money Machine. He helps entrepreneurs build businesses that generate wealth, freedom, and fulfillment while creating a life aligned with their values and purpose. Through decades of experience helping business owners grow and scale, Mel has become a trusted voice on wealth creation, financial independence, and living a fully expressed life.    Explore our partners: Get ahead of next season with Limelight Teamwear. Visit limelightteamwear.com to learn more Try our Daily Decision Compass - dsoa.com/compass Sign up for Studio Sync - dsoa.com/syncmembershi Join our growing community of people just like you inside our free Facebook group. Click here to join!  Follow The Dance Studio Owners Association:  Instagram: @dancestudioownersassociation | TikTok: @dsoaofficial | Facebook: @dancestudioownersassociation        

Pastor Levi Lusko joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on health as worship (not performance), why the Church keeps falling into two extremes (neglect vs idolatry), and how “holy health” is ultimately surrendered health —built to carry your calling.In a world that turns “discipline” into the goal, Justin and Levi call out what most people don't see: you can quote Scripture, lead well, and still quietly run your body into the ground—until your peace, patience, and relationships begin to erode.This episode reframes the true metric of Holy Health: it's not your image, your biohacks, or your numbers—it's stewardship + obedience… because that's what builds long-term capacity.They also unpack:

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of the greatest challenges in spiritual growth: breaking deeply ingrained habits. The Orchot Tzaddikim teaches that repeated behavior gradually becomes normalized until a person no longer sees it as wrong. Sins that are repeated frequently can begin to feel permissible, making genuine repentance far more difficult. Therefore, a person seeking teshuvah must establish strong boundaries, cultivate determination, and consciously distance themselves from negative habits until those behaviors become foreign and even repulsive to them. The episode emphasizes that repentance is not a one-time event but an ongoing process of refinement. Rabbi Wolbe explains that just as a stained garment may require multiple washings before every trace of dirt disappears, the soul may require repeated layers of repentance before it is fully cleansed. Even when a person has already apologized or sought forgiveness, deeper levels of understanding may emerge later in life, requiring additional reflection, remorse, and spiritual repair. True teshuvah continually revisits past mistakes with greater maturity and awareness. The lesson then introduces the first two foundational pillars of repentance. The first is charatah—genuine regret for having distanced oneself from Hashem and misused the gifts, opportunities, and potential entrusted to them. The second is azivas hacheit—abandoning the sin and firmly resolving not to repeat it in the future. Rabbi Wolbe challenges listeners to recognize the preciousness of the soul, the fleeting nature of worldly pleasures, and the eternal value of spiritual growth. Authentic repentance begins when a person honestly asks, "What have I done?" and then takes concrete steps to chart a different course forward._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 29, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 15, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

For Den Hoed Dairy, perfect management wasn't enough to stop a hidden, invisible force from silently bleeding their family dairy dry. When the Den Hoed family transitioned their operation from Washington state to Wisconsin, they expected a deeper land base—but they walked straight into a multi-million dollar production trap. Despite harvesting their own feed, running their own logistics, and keeping iron costs low, their dairy herd was hit with a devastating 44% cull rate and calf losses exceeding 50%. The culprit wasn't their work ethic; it was stray voltage—up to 7 volts of earth current pulsing through the facility, shocking their cows every time they tried to drink. In this episode of Legacy Farmer Live, Colton Den Hoed reveals how standard utility tests failed to see a $1.5 million annual drain, the dangers of 100% loan-to-value equipment financing, and how they used data-backed pro-formas to secure a miracle bank approval to build on completely clean ground

Your solar plexus is the seat of your personal power. BUT there's a  hidden trap that can turn sovereignty into a detour from your soul's  true path. Do you know which side of the line you're on? In this livestream, we explore the solar plexus chakra through the lens of soul wisdom, ego, and free will. Being in your power and  living with sovereignty is essential to your spiritual awakening, but there's a subtle snare that you might fall into without realizing it. That trap can lead you astray, alienating you from loved ones and inflating your ego. We'll unpack where personal power ends and  where the ego begins to co-opt the journey, and how your free will  plays a central role in navigating the difference. In this livestream, we'll explore: ✦ The solar plexus chakra as your center of spiritual power ✦ What true sovereignty looks and feels like on the path ✦ The hidden trap that can pull you away from your spiritual purpose ✦ How the ego misuses "power"  ✦ Free will as the key to staying aligned with your soul's wisdom If you're on the path of spiritual awakening and want to go deeper  into the chakra system, this one is not to miss.

This podcast is powered by Klean Freaks University.com — where real cleaners build real empires. From mop buckets to million-dollar systems, we teach you how to clean smarter, lead stronger, and scale faster.At some point, every cleaning business owner faces the same uncomfortable reality:The business can't run without them.The phone rings? They answer it.A cleaning tech has a question? They answer it.A client has an issue? They handle it.A schedule changes? They fix it.While being needed can feel important, it can also become one of the biggest obstacles to growth.In this episode, Shannon Miller and Jamie Runco discuss why so many cleaning business owners accidentally become the bottleneck in their own companies and how that pattern shows up at every stage of business growth—from your first $100,000 to multi-million-dollar operations.They explore the difference between being involved and being required, why owners struggle to let go, and how systems, training, and leadership can help create a business that functions without constant owner intervention.Whether you're a solo cleaner looking to grow, a small team owner feeling overwhelmed, or a larger company trying to break through the next ceiling, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership, control, and scalability.Because the goal isn't to be needed.The goal is to build a business that can thrive without you.In this episode:Why being needed feels rewardingThe hidden cost of owner dependencyCommon growth ceilings in cleaning businessesThe owner bottleneck explainedSystems that reduce interruptionsTraining your team to think independentlyMoving from operator to ownerBuilding a business that scales

In the heat of summer, I pause at the crossroads,lighting a candle in the sacred cauldron of my heart.I listen to the whispers of my soul,as dreams coalesce and possibilities take form.I stand in the center of my own life,where I extend my hands to touch the infinite fieldthat carries and holds me in each moment.I breathe in the ordinarygifts of life,the bright sky above me, the solid earth beneath me,the squirrel's dance, the fox's crossing,the falling star's blazing message.Grant me the courage to show up,the willingness to notice and see,to love the ordinary and trust itas my pathway to the sacred.In this living practice of presence,magic, mystery, and meaningcoalesce.

Episode 155: Spielberg's Disclosure Day – Faith, Future Horizons & The Truth Trap** *Rocky Mountain UFO Podcast* What happens when Hollywood's greatest visionary meets the reality of government transparency? In Episode 155, we break down Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking new film, *Disclosure Day*, and ask the hard question no one else is asking: is it a bridge to unity or a masterful misdirection? Join us as we explore the film's chilling parallels to recent congressional hearings and real-world UAP whistleblower reports. We analyze why critics are calling it the true spiritual successor to *Close Encounters of the Third Kind*, examine Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor's performances, and debate Spielberg's framing of "science speculation" over fiction. But the conversation doesn't stop at the box office. We tackle the deeper implications for faith and belief systems when contact becomes fact. How does disclosure reshape human empathy, spirituality, and our place in the cosmos? Plus, we confront the provocative critique from researchers like David Icke, who warn the film may be a propaganda tool designed to paint non-human intelligence as benevolently false. From future horizons to hidden agendas, this episode is a must-hear for believers, skeptics, and anyone wondering what happens when the stars don't just twinkle—they answer. **Listen now to discover:** - How *Disclosure Day* mirrors real UAP whistleblower testimony. - The debate over Spielberg's "benevolent alien" narrative vs. Icke's warning. - Why faith communities must prepare for the horizon of disclosure. ️ **Subscribe & stream Episode 155 today.** *Exploring the peaks and valleys of the unexplained, from the Rockies to the stars.*

This week's episode, which finds Steve over in Japan but still with a hoarse voice, ranges widely from exonerating John Yoo from being implicated in a major whiskey heist, to what the prodigious drinking habits of the Founding Fathers has to say about constitutional law today. Justice Neil Gorsuch reminds us that “John Adams took a tankard of hard cider with his breakfast every day. James Madison reportedly drank a pint of whiskey every day. Thomas Jefferson said he wasn't much of a user of alcohol—he only had three or four glasses of wine a night.” Ah, the great ones.Speaking of the Founders, we make a nod to the tragic passing of Gordon Wood, and naturally manage to get into an argument about history and historians.But the central topic of today is considering John's foray into grand strategy in his Civitas Outlook article this week on "America Doesn't Need to Fear a 'Thucydides Trap'," , and while Admiral Ackbar needed to fear a trap, John doesn't think so. But what was Chinese premier Xi trying to do in bringing up the subject in a public session at the recent summit with Trump? One doesn't imagine Trump being a reader of Thucydides, though one can easily see him liking the outcome of the Melian debate. In fact, maybe that's what he's up to with Iran? Who can tell.

With news that Elon Musk in the world's first trillionaire after the historic SpaceX IPO, Justin joins me to discuss the financial gamesmanship at work in the AI industry, the planetary limits of this particular phase of capitalism, and the reasons why the #TeslaTakedown moment is long in the past.

Brandon explores religious rigidity as the attempt to manage anxiety through certainty, purity, and control. Using Jesus' warnings, the parable of the two sons, and the rise of politicized purity codes, this episode asks how goodness itself can become a trap—and how surrender opens the way to freedom.

In 2013, Tony won both the Clay Target Championship and the Doubles Championship at just 17 years old. The guys cover Tony's early start with the Chip & Crack team, the people who helped shape his game, the lessons he learned from George and Jackie Snellenberger, and what it takes to keep competing at a high level while working third shift and living the real-world grind.They also get into the mental side of championship shooting, including how Tony handled the pressure of the Clay Target shoot-off, why the Doubles Championship felt different, and how confidence can change everything when the targets are on the line.Of course, this episode also gets technical. Tony breaks down his approach to singles, handicap, and doubles, including gun setup, point of impact, hold points, eye issues, doubles timing, footwork, and why sometimes the best advice is still simple: point the targets out.This is a great episode for young shooters, working shooters, serious competitors, and anyone who loves hearing from a champion who has been there, won big, stepped away, and is now coming back strong.Enjoy this episode and please like, share, comment, and subscribe to support the channel.Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!  It really helps the show!  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@traptalk27Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/traptalkfromthebackfence/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/traptalk27TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@trap.talk.podcast*** Email us your listener questions to askus@traptalkpodcast.com *** *** Visit TrapTalkPodcast.com for all our links! ***

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with lifelong entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author Hunter Hastings to dismantle the biggest sacred cow in modern business education: the MBA. If you've ever felt suffocated by endless corporate reporting, rigid five-year strategic plans, or red tape that stalls brilliant ideas, you are likely stuck in the "administration trap." Hastings, co-author of Venture Mode: Escape the Administration Trap by Finding and Unleashing Entrepreneurial Leaders, reveals how modern corporations and business schools have mistakenly turned potential trailblazers into process-focused bureaucrats. Drawing on radical principles of Austrian economics and hard-earned wisdom from Silicon Valley to Procter & Gamble, this conversation flips traditional corporate hierarchy on its head, advocating for a relentless obsession with the true boss of any business: the consumer.

Are you exhausted from constantly saying "I've got it" while quietly drowning under the weight of your to-do list? In this lighthearted yet deeply convicting episode of She Will Flourish, Rachel Earp breaks down the myth of the self-made woman and exposes why hyper-independence is actually a trap. Discover how isolating yourself blocks your creative flow, drains your spiritual stamina, and why trading the independent hustle for intentional sisterhood is the ultimate key to fulfilling your God-given calling.Let's have a quick, honest family meeting: How many overstuffed grocery bags are you currently trying to carry up the stairs by yourself simply because you refuse to ask for help?In this episode, host Rachel Earp tackles a sneaky little pattern that high-achieving Christian women, entrepreneurs, and ministry leaders wear like a badge of honor: hyper-independence. We dive into why our knee-jerk reaction is to reject support, how isolation disguises itself as strength, and the reality that "Independence Island" is an incredibly lonely place to build a vision.Using the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes, Rachel unpacks God's true blueprint for collaboration and community. You were never designed to be a one-woman army. If you are ready to drop the exhausting "do-it-all-myself" armor, learn the art of receiving, and discover how holy mentorship accelerates your growth, this episode is exactly what your soul needs to hear.Follow Rachel Earp on Instagram @iamrachelearpFollow Flourish on Instagram @youbelonginflourishStep Onto Our Front Porch: Ready to trade the exhausting solo hustle for an intentional, supportive sisterhood?

If we're wired for joy, why do so many successful people feel exhausted, disconnected, or emotionally flat? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Judith Joseph, whose team conducted the first peer-reviewed clinical study on high-functioning depression. We talk about why feeling "fine" on the outside doesn't always reflect what's happening beneath the surface—and why so many people struggle to feel fully alive. You'll learn: Why achievement and productivity don't always lead to fulfillment How to tell whether you're burned out—or struggling with high-functioning depression The surprising connection between unresolved trauma, people-pleasing, and chronic stress What your phone, social media habits, and screen time may be doing to your mood How to start reclaiming joy when life feels flat, exhausting, or unfulfilling Like many people, I've spent periods of my life focused on achievement and productivity, believing fulfillment would follow. I've learned that the most important work isn't always doing more—it's understanding what's keeping us from fully experiencing joy in the first place. Want to explore this further? Dr. Judith Joseph offers several self-assessments under the "Quiz" tab on her website, including tools for anhedonia, high-functioning depression, and trauma.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu tackles one of the biggest questions in modern investing: Is AI a bubble, or is there something even more dangerous at play? With $700 billion being spent on AI this year and 6.7 trillion projected by the decade's end, we're witnessing the largest financial bet in human history. But while valuations soar, the industry is drowning in debt, and revenues lag behind. Drawing on economic history—from British canals and railways to the dot-com bust—Tom Bilyeu reveals an unsettling pattern: transformative technologies often devastate their earliest investors, even as they reshape the world.In this episode, Tom Bilyeu breaks down why AI's infrastructure challenge is different—and riskier—than anything we've seen before, explores how financial games can push risk onto unsuspecting investors, and shares what history can teach us about surviving and thriving in revolutionary times. If you want to avoid the landmines and position yourself on the winning side of the AI revolution, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.Ketone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderQuince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodPlaud: Get 10% off with code IMPACT at https://plaud.ai/impactWhatnot:Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.
