Podcasts about Trust

Guy Kawasaki learned sales the hard way in the jewelry business, where every deal felt like hand-to-hand combat. With no technical background, he later joined Apple and turned those street-level selling skills into world-class software evangelism. He went on to become Chief Evangelist at Canva, shaping how the world thinks about selling ideas. In this episode, Guy breaks down why selling is the most critical skill for entrepreneurs, the sales strategies that helped him win pitches, and how to identify products or ideas that sell.

Hollywood, we need to talk. If one more movie shows an eyeball dangling from someone's cheek, I might start mailing anatomy textbooks to Los Angeles. And while we're at it, can we please stop calling every wandering eye a “lazy eye”? After a quick rant about my personal ophthalmology pet peeves, I dive into one of the strangest mystery cases I've ever seen: a 47-year-old with sudden, complete ophthalmoplegia and normal imaging. Negative myasthenia testing, normal pupils, normal MRI, nothing made sense until one very specific antibody came back positive. Takeaways: Why “lazy eye” rarely means what people think it means and what the term actually refers to. The Hollywood eyeball trope that needs to be banned forever (optical nerves are short, folks). How a patient with zero eye movement and a normal MRI sent us searching for rare neuro clues. Why myasthenia gravis seemed like the obvious answer until every serology test came back negative. The surprising role a GI infection can play in triggering Miller Fisher syndrome, the rare Guillain-Barré variant that ultimately cracked the case.

Wikipedia, the crowdsourced encyclopedia, is one of the world's most visited websites, with 11 billion page views each month. Its founder, Jimmy Wales, credits its success to one thing — trust — which he sees at odds with our increasing loss of faith in institutions and in each other. In his new book, he lays out what he calls a “blueprint for building things that last” in volatile times. We'll talk to Wales about the site's history and why right wing figures like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson are attacking it. The book is “The Seven Rules of Trust.” Has Wikipedia earned your trust?

Kick off your new year with a refreshing and hope-filled conversation about the pressure to set body-related goals and the journey toward real freedom. Hosts Heather Creekmore and Amy Carlson dig deep into why so many women set weight loss as their top resolution and how our culture’s diet obsessions impact families, friendships, and faith communities. You’ll hear honest stories, including “are we getting left behind?” anxiety, the latest health fads (GLP1s and fiber, anyone?), and powerful encouragement to seek God’s “how much more” rather than settle for the world’s lesser goals. Whether you’re a goal-setter, a recovering dieter, or someone wondering what you might be missing by chasing smaller jeans instead of a fuller life—this episode will inspire you to open your hands, journal, and pursue the abundance only God can give. **Get your FREE Obsessed-to-Blessed Mini course here. Journal Prompts from Today’s Episode What am I going to miss if I invest my time and energy into weight loss this year?(Reflect on what parts of your life could suffer or what experiences you might lose out on.) What parts of my life feel stunted or neglected because of my focus on body goals?(Take inventory of relationships, passions, or spiritual growth you could nurture instead.) What is my mind telling me ‘my life will begin when…’?(Finish this sentence honestly and challenge what you believe about starting to live.) What am I not asking God for that would truly bring “how much more” into my life?(Go before God with open hands – ask Him what He wants for you in 2026.) Who else is impacted by my health and eating practices?(Consider your kids, spouse, friends, or community and how your choices ripple out.) How does seeking smaller goals (like a certain weight or restriction) limit the breadth of my ‘garden’—my life?(Picture your life as a garden and consider what fruit you aren’t tending to.) “My life will start when…” versus “How much more does God have for me?”(Contrast your answer to these two prompts and pray for wisdom to pursue God’s best.) Bonus: Community Conversation StarterIf something in this episode resonated with you or led to a new insight or goal, Amy encourages listeners to share their goal or what God is inviting them into for 2026. Imagine how uplifting it would be to see what God’s abundance is unfolding in lives beyond just body-centered achievements! EncouragementYou’re not behind, and you don’t have to settle for less.

As a new year unfolds and the calendar turns, uncertainty can stir anxiety—but Scripture reminds us that while seasons change, God remains the same. Rooted in Psalm 102:25–27, this devotional centers our hearts on the unchanging nature of God, offering peace and confidence when the future feels unknown and reminding us that our hope is secure in the One who never shifts or fades. Highlights Change is a natural part of life, but God’s character remains constant. Scripture anchors us when anxiety about the future begins to rise. God is eternal—Creator, Sustainer, and faithful through every season. Jesus Christ confirms God’s unchanging promises and redemptive plan. Trust grows when we release control and rest in God’s sovereignty. God invites us to enter a new year with peace, not fear, rooted in His faithfulness. Our confidence isn’t in what’s ahead, but in Who goes before us. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: When the Calendar Changes but God Remains By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading:“In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVI found that people have mixed feelings about change. There are those like me who crave change and are easily bored by routine and regimentation. Conversely, perhaps you are more like my husband, who finds comfort in consistency. The reality is that life offers us both. Change is inevitable and necessary, and finding contentment in routine is equally important. Yes, as humans, we will experience change throughout our lives. But here’s the good news: there’s one thing that never changes - our God! Today, if you are feeling anxious about the changing of the calendar, rest in the truth that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When feelings of worry and dread of the unknown are tempted to steal your joy and rob your peace, take time to recite these prayers, as you rest in our unchanging God! “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVHeavenly Father, I come before as I enter a new year filled with uncertainty. My heart is anxious, my thoughts consumed with the “what-ifs.” Lord, help my heavy heart rest in the knowledge that You are the Creator, You’ve always existed, and You remain the same for all eternity. You spoke the creation into existence. Your plan for redemption for Your children has remained constant through the ages. When fear of the unknown creeps in, I ask you to silence those thoughts and grant me peace that only You can provide. Thank you. Though I am fickle, Lord, You are always faithful in Jesus' Name, Amen.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus that You keep Your promises. In the garden, You promised to make a way for Your children to be reconciled to You, to be saved and redeemed for their sins. Jesus was there in the beginning, and He has always been a part of Your plan. Help me to trust in Your purpose. Lord, You know my thoughts, my heart that quickly beats because I am anxious about tomorrow. Yet, You are sovereign, in total control, and are working everything for my good and Your glory. Calm my anxiety, and help me to release control, the need to know every detail over to You. This year, Lord, I ask that I approach each day worry-free, because I know You are unchanging, and You are Faithful, and I can put my trust in You. In Jesus'Name ' Name, Amen. For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6 ESV Heavenly Father, though people are inconsistent and fickle, You are not. You are immutable, faithful, and steadfast. Your very nature is unchanging. I can put my trust in You because You are eternally trustworthy. Please guide my decisions so that I may live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you. Transform my thoughts and desires to align with Your will. I give this year to you, the highs and lows, the good and bad days, I surrender and submit to You. You are a God, who sees and cares about your children. While I am not able to see the future, I can trust in the One who is the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Praying for you today, friend, as you navigate the changing of the calendar. May this new year bring anticipation and excitement, not dread and anxiousness, as you trust our unchanging God.Intersecting Faith & Life:How do you feel about change?

Today we celebrate the release of the new All Smiles record Skate Videos From Memory (out January 6). Jim Fairchild (Grandaddy, Modest Mouse) and Joe discuss the visual inspiration behind the record and how skate videos shaped the sound. They talk about the impact that skate culture has had on not only their own music, but their general mindset and approach to life. We learn why the new record is a prayer to the universe, why Jim and Joe are celebrating more reflexive music and they muse on why rock music maybe be taking a less cerebral turn.  The two highlight their favorite skate videos, Jim shares a fanboy moment, and we hear some songs for the new record.  ALL SMILES SKATE VIDEOS FROM MEMORY Streets on Fire Welcome To Hell Hokus Pokus SPECIAL REQUEST FROM JOE ..."if you like this podcast, please subscribe and tell all your friends. also, if you love, hate or kinda sometimes like Tour Stories/The Check In, please express yourself loudly in the comments .

In this episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel Rowles speaks with Phil Treagus-Evans, author of the new book Human First Marketing, to explore why now, in a world dominated by AI, automation, and synthetic content, marketers must rediscover their humanity. As generative AI reshapes how content is produced, and digital channels become flooded with bland, algorithmically generated material, brands risk losing the very thing that makes them relatable: their people. Phil offers a timely and practical guide for putting humans back at the heart of your marketing strategy, from customer research to team culture and executive presence. Drawing on his work at Giraffe Social, Phil breaks down a four-part framework for building trust, fostering connection, and standing out in a sea of sameness. If you've ever felt like your content is just noise, or you're posting because you're "supposed to", this episode will help you hit reset. In This Episode: Marketing isn't working like it used to Phil opens with a bold claim, and backs it up with data on ad saturation, trust erosion, and content homogenisation due to AI. What is Human First Marketing? A new approach that prioritises people over platforms, empathy over efficiency, and purpose over vanity metrics. The four pillars of Human First Marketing People: Deep customer understanding and employee advocacy Authenticity: Real voices and honest content Connection: Interactions over transactions Purpose: Strategy that means something — and gets results Why you should ditch customer avatars Phil introduces his EMPATH framework for audience research that avoids reductive stereotypes and leans into emotional understanding, patterns of behaviour, and real team insight. The power of visibility and vulnerability From CEOs posting on LinkedIn to sharing the full journey of writing his book, Phil explains how authenticity builds trust, and drives results. Why trust is the new marketing currency In an era of deepfakes and automated outreach, being seen as real, consistent and trustworthy is the ultimate competitive edge. AI isn't the enemy, lazy AI is Phil and Daniel agree: AI is a fantastic tool, but it's the human decisions around how, when and why we use it that matter most. How Human First Marketing improves SEO As Google leans into E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust), human-centred content becomes not just ethical, but algorithmically rewarded. Key Takeaways: Human content performs better - Whether it's lo-fi video or founder-led storytelling, people trust people more than brands. Leaders must be visible - Exec comms and internal advocacy aren't optional anymore, they're how culture scales and trust grows. Culture comes first - You can't fake authenticity. If your team doesn't believe in what you do, neither will your audience. Strategy before content - Don't just post because you should. Post with intent, empathy, and impact. There's power in transparency - Sharing your struggles, your processes, and your people builds emotional equity. Use AI as a creative partner - Not a content machine. Challenge your thinking, spark ideas, don't outsource your voice.

Integrity can only be there if there's respect by experience." "The real joy is in the act of giving, not the gift." "In order to be great in business, it actually starts at home.

Jason O. Harris is a retired Lieutenant Colonel, fourth-generation service member, professional pilot, best-selling author, and nationally sought-after keynote speaker on trust and leadership. Jason spent nearly three decades serving our country in the U.S. Air Force, flying 11 combat deployments and more than 470 combat sorties, ultimately commanding a Boeing KC-46 Tanker Aircraft Squadron. He carries those hard-earned lessons beyond the cockpit and into boardrooms, equipping leaders and teams to build trust, accountability, and peak performance when it matters most. Today, Jason shares how trust is built under pressure, why leadership is revealed in moments of uncertainty, and what it truly means to "make the dash count." He opens up about growing up in chaos, learning the power of environment and influence early in life, and how high-risk combat missions shaped his belief that you don't rise to the occasion… you fall to the level of your training. My friends, if you're craving clarity in your leadership, confidence in your decisions, or stronger relationships at work and at home, this conversation is for you. You'll leave with a renewed understanding of how trust is earned, practical ways to show up with intention, and a powerful reminder that your presence matters more than you think.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going to start walking toward it.In this episode of Stay Magic, Sara Walka shares the magic of Capricorn season and why this energy is perfect for casting a vision you can't fully see yet. She also reflects on 10 years of The Sisters Enchanted (!) and the seeds she planted back in 2016 that she never could have predicted would grow into this.If you're afraid of getting your long-term vision "wrong," or you're stuck because you don't have all the answers, this one's for you.In This Episode:What is Capricorn energy good for?Capricorn is the energy of foundations, devotion, and the long game. It's not about quick wins, it's about planting seeds for things that need time to grow: ideas, finances, relationships, wisdom, and identity shifts. This is the perfect season to think beyond the year ahead and ask yourself what you want to devote your energy to over time.What does the sea goat symbolize?Capricorn is represented by the sea goat, a creature with hooves on the mountaintop (the long view, what we can see) and a fish tail in the ocean depths (the unknown, what we can't predict). This symbol reminds us to hold our visions loosely: trust where you're headed, even when you can't see the full picture.What is a Saturn return?Saturn takes about 29.5 years to move through all twelve zodiac signs. When Saturn returns to the sign it was in when you were born (around age 29, 59, and 88), it often marks a major shift in what you're devoted to and how you see your life's structure. These are powerful turning points worth reflecting on.How do I cast a long-term vision when I don't know the outcome?You don't need a detailed plan, you need a felt sense of what you want to devote yourself to. Create a sacred space, a talisman, a sticky note, or a simple reminder of that energy. The Capricorn invitation is to do the work, trust the process, and let the path reveal itself.Journal Prompts for Capricorn Season:

One of the ways we bring down all the segulot that come from Birkat HaMazon is by saying it with true feelings of hakarat tov. When a person feels genuine appreciation, the power of his words becomes infinitely greater. When Rabbi Aharon of Belz was younger, he used to stay by a certain butcher. The butcher took such good care of the Rabbi, fulfilling his every request with great joy. Years later, the butcher's daughter suddenly became gravely ill, and the doctors were losing hope. Messages were sent to Gedolim to pray for her, and the butcher specifically asked that a message be sent to Rabbi Aharon of Belz. The messenger arrived by Rabbi Aharon on Erev Yom Tov, when there was already a long line of people waiting to see him. Because the matter was urgent, the messenger was allowed to enter immediately. When the Rabbi heard the news, he was just about to place a cube of sugar into his tea. He stopped, paused what he was doing, and began repeating over and over how much that butcher had taken care of him. He spoke at length about the kindness, the warmth, and the generosity he had experienced. Only when he felt a deep, intense sense of hakarat tov did he give the girl a beracha and pray for her refuah shelema. After Yom Tov, the messenger returned with extraordinary news. The girl had made a complete recovery. He added that they later discovered that at the exact moment the Rabbi had given his beracha, the girl appeared to be in her final moments. But then she related that she had seen, in what seemed like a dream, the Rabbi giving her a piece of sugar to eat while blessing her with the most heartfelt beracha. At that moment, everything changed. Baruch Hashem, she recovered fully. Words said with real hakarat tov are unbelievably powerful. In the first beracha of Birkat HaMazon, we acknowledge that Hashem is the One who gives us our parnasah. We need to understand what that truly means. The Gemara speaks about a Hallel called Hallel HaGadol, the Great Hallel. This is the chapter of Tehillim in which we say "Ki l'olam chasdo" twenty-six times. The Gemara asks why it is called Hallel HaGadol. Rabbi Yochanan answers that it is because it includes the words that Hashem gives food to all of His creations. Hashem, who is exalted beyond all comprehension, who resides in the highest heights, personally comes down and takes care of every single one of His creations, ensuring that they always have what to eat. Hashem does not delegate this responsibility to a messenger. He does it Himself, because He loves us so much. The question is asked: this Hallel mentions so many miracles—creating heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, taking us out of Mitzrayim, splitting the sea, leading us through the desert, defeating Sichon and Og. How can it be that of all these miracles, Hashem giving us food is considered the greatest? The sefer Birkat HaMazon BeKavanah explains that all the other miracles were one-time events. But the miracle of feeding every person and every animal is something Hashem performs every second of every day, from the beginning of time until today and beyond. Hashem is "concerned" that all of His billions and trillions of creations have what they need to live. It is a constant miracle that never stops. They say in the name of the Chafetz Chaim that if a person forgot Al HaNissim in the Amidah, the tefillah still counts. But if he did not say in Modim ועל ניסך שבכל יום…שבכל עת , the Amidah does not count. Missing a miracle that happened once can be excused, but failing to recognize the miracles that occur every single day cannot. Hashem is personally taking care of us at every moment. That is why we emphasize in Birkat HaMazon that Hashem has never made us lacking and will never make us lacking. Once we truly recognize this, only then are we ready to say נודה לך -thank You. Only then can our words of gratitude come from the heart. And the more sincerely we feel that thank You, the more powerful it becomes—and the more blessing it draws down into our lives.

Episode Summary: Welcome to a brand-new year! If you’re like many, today might bring a mix of emotions. Excitement for a fresh start, anxiety over the unknown, or maybe even a lingering weight from the past. So many of us enter the new year feeling burdened by past mistakes, failures, or regrets. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep us stuck in shame, replaying the moments we wish we could erase. But here’s the truth: Our God is a God of redemption, of new beginnings, of fresh mercies every morning including this very one. Today, we talk about Trusting God's Redemption Over Your Past. We’ll explore what it means to step forward in faith instead of shame, to trust in God’s plans instead of our past, and to fully embrace the fresh start He offers us through His love and grace. Quotables from the episode: If stepping into this new year has felt more like stepping into a cloud of uncertainty, I want you to know that you are not alone. More importantly, you are not without hope. Today, we’re going to explore what God’s Word says about new beginnings and how we can release the past to walk confidently into His plans for our future. God is in the business of making things new. If you’re struggling to let go of past failures, hear this today—God is doing a new thing in your life. Will you embrace it? No matter what yesterday held, today is a new day, and His mercies are fresh and waiting for you. Practical Tip 1: Release What You Cannot Change Holding onto past regrets won’t change them. Take a moment to pray and surrender those memories to God, repenting where necessary and trusting Him to use even your mistakes for His glory. Practical Tip 2: Replace Shame with Truth The enemy often whispers lies of unworthiness and failure, but God calls you redeemed. Meditate on scriptures that remind you of your identity in Christ—because you are loved, valued, and renewed every day. Practical Tip 3: Set Your Eyes on the Future, Not the Past In Philippians 3:13-14, the apostle Paul encourages us, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal...” Today, commit to focusing on God’s promises for your future. Each new day is a step toward the plans He has for you—plans filled with hope and purpose. Where there is uncertainty, seek God’s will for your future. Practical Tip 4: Surround Yourself with Encouragement Fellowship is key. The enemy would love to isolate you, but we were not created to be alone. Whether it’s through Christian friends, a church community, or inspirational books and podcasts, fill your life with voices that affirm your worth and point you toward God’s truth. When you're surrounded by encouragement, the journey to healing and new beginnings becomes much more manageable. Practical Tip 5: Start Each Day with a Fresh Perspective Begin every morning by thanking God for a new day and seeking His guidance. A short prayer or a moment of reflection can reset your mindset, reminding you that His mercies are new every day. Consider journaling your thoughts and prayers to track the fresh starts and breakthroughs God is bringing into your life. If you need a resource to start your day in God’s word, reflecting on His promises, I encourage you to pick up a copy of my book Today Is Going to Be a Good Day: 90 Promises From God to Start Your Day Off Right. Take a moment now to reflect on these steps. Ask yourself: What past burdens do I need to surrender? Which scriptures will I meditate on to replace shame with truth? Allow God to fill you with hope as you anticipate the new things He’s ready to do in your life. Friend, I don’t know what your past holds, but I do know this—God is bigger than your mistakes, greater than your failures, and ever faithful in His love. As you step into this new year, hold onto the promise that He is doing a new thing in your life. You no longer have to be weighed down by what was. Instead, embrace what is to come, knowing that God’s plans for you are filled with hope, purpose, and renewal. As you leave this episode, I encourage you to put these steps into practice. Tonight, reflect on the scriptures we discussed and commit to a fresh start tomorrow morning. Trust that each new day is a gift from God—a day filled with His mercy and love. Let’s pray together: “Lord, thank You for the promise of new beginnings. Help us to let go of the past and step boldly into the future You have planned. May we embrace Your truth over our shame, and may Your mercies renew us each morning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Scripture References: Isaiah 43:18-19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Trusting yourself in business sounds simple, but in practice it can feel complicated. Especially when you are capable, prepared, and still hesitating at the moment it matters most. In this solo episode, we unpack what audacity really looks like for Black entrepreneurs. Not the loud or performative version, but the quiet conviction it takes to move without guarantees, stop self editing, and let your own judgment lead even when the outcome is uncertain. This conversation is for the entrepreneur who knows they are ready, but keeps waiting. Waiting for better timing. Waiting for more confirmation. Waiting until it feels safer. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: Why hesitation often shows up after you've done the work, not before How self editing quietly costs Black entrepreneurs opportunities before a "no" is ever given What audacity looks like in everyday business decisions, not viral moments How to tell the difference between seeking perspective and avoiding responsibility Why waiting for certainty keeps you stuck in preparation mode How to rebuild trust in your own judgment one decision at a time Thank you so much for listening!

This New Year's episode is both a moment of accountability and an invitation—to myself, and to you—to approach 2026 with more patience, presence, and trust.Rather than setting resolutions or performance-based goals, I share the principles guiding me forward, shaped by the lessons of 2025, my changing relationship with energy, and a deepening awareness of what it truly means to feel at home in my body.We begin with an overview of A Year of Coming Home, my year-long container designed to support intuitive eating from the inside out. I explain why nervous system regulation and embodiment must come before intuitive eating can truly work, and how chronic stress, overwhelm, and disconnection from the body make it nearly impossible to hear—or trust—our inner signals. You'll hear how somatic practices, gentle movement, and creating safety in the body are foundational to this work.I also share how yoga—especially yin and restorative practices—has profoundly supported my own relationship with food, body, and presence, and why I'm pursuing yoga certification to bring these practices into my work. Alongside this, I talk about asynchronous coaching inside A Year of Coming Home and why this model of support feels so aligned and nourishing.Looking ahead to the podcast, I share plans to include more guest stories and a powerful upcoming project amplifying real experiences of weight stigma in healthcare. I also introduce a year-long personal experiment: offering daily tarot reflections as a free practice rooted in intuition, reflection, and nervous system awareness.On a personal level, I reflect on turning 50, committing to a full year of yoga and strength training, spending more intentional time alone in nature, and continuing to explore spirituality through practice rather than just theory. I also share my curiosity around traditional Chinese medicine as I navigate perimenopausal digestive changes.One of the most tender parts of this episode explores how my work in medical assistance in dying has reshaped my understanding of surrender and transitions—and how the wisdom of the dying process might teach us how to move through life's many endings with more grace and less resistance. This reflection has sparked a deeply personal writing project I'll be carrying with me through 2026.Finally, I share my word for the year—patience—and why learning to slow down, sit with ideas, trust timing, and allow things to unfold feels like the most important practice of all.If you're craving a gentler, more embodied way of moving into the year ahead, this episode is for you.www.wayzahealth.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Zhi asked.Zh: 魏解释了情况，志认真地听着。En: Wei explained the situation, and Zhi listened carefully.Zh: 他慢慢点头，说：“最近报告太多，找到东西可能需要时间。”En: He nodded slowly and said, "There are so many reports recently, finding something might take some time."Zh: 魏心里更不安。En: Wei felt even more uneasy.Zh: 他不知道是该赶紧填详细报告，还是自己去附近寻找。En: He didn't know whether he should hurry to fill out a detailed report or go out and search nearby himself.Zh: 他咬着手指，思考着。En: He bit his finger, deep in thought.Zh: 方见状，拍拍魏的肩膀，“也许我们可以先在附近找找？”En: Seeing this, Fang patted Wei's shoulder, "Maybe we should search around nearby first?"Zh: 魏点点头，觉得这是个好主意。En: Wei nodded, thinking it was a good idea.Zh: 他或许应该借助朋友的帮助。En: Perhaps he should enlist his friend's help.Zh: 一想到这个，他感到一丝温暖。En: With this thought, he felt a warmth spread through him.Zh: 两人走出警察局，商量着应该去哪里寻找。En: The two walked out of the police station, discussing where they should search.Zh: 他们走到昨晚聚会的地方，又去了周围的商店，沿途仔细地观察。En: They went to the place where the gathering was held last night and visited the surrounding shops, carefully looking along the way.Zh: 最后，他们来到一个挤满年货的小市场。En: Finally, they arrived at a small market filled with New Year's goods.Zh: 一个小贩在摊位前对他们招手。“你们在找这东西吗？”他手里举着魏的玉佩。En: A vendor waved to them from a stall, "Are you looking for this?" He held up Wei's yupei.Zh: 魏惊喜地走上前，“是的！你在哪儿找到的？”En: Delighted, Wei walked forward, "Yes! Where did you find it?"Zh: 小贩微微一笑，“早上打扫时看到了，想着总有人会回来找。”En: The vendor smiled slightly, "I saw it while cleaning in the morning and thought someone would come back for it."Zh: 魏感激地道谢，方也松了口气。En: Wei thanked him gratefully, and Fang also breathed a sigh of relief.Zh: 回家的路上，魏心中的石头总算落下。En: On the way home, the weight in Wei's heart finally lifted.Zh: 他对方说道：“谢谢你，我学会了珍惜朋友的支持。”En: He turned to Fang and said, "Thank you, I've learned to cherish the support of friends."Zh: 魏微笑着，手里攥紧那块玉佩，心里充满了对未来的信心。En: Wei smiled, clutching the yupei tightly in his hand, filled with confidence for the future.Zh: 新的一年，他要学会依靠身边的人，一同面对生活的挑战。En: In the new year, he decided to learn to rely on those around him and face life's challenges together.

Wisdom can ultimately be reduced to the simple process of avoiding that which makes you go weak.Not adding more.Subtracting what drains you.The law of attraction tells you to want more, manifest more, attract more. But wanting implies you don't have. "I want" never gets—because the universe is a jokester. When you seek, you confirm you lack. When you subtract what makes you weak, you radiate abundance. That's when opportunities find you ready. Not because you forced them. Because you changed.Take 3 seconds. Make a list of what you do. Trust your gut. You'll understand your relationship to what weakens you. Earned dopamine from splitting wood versus shallow pleasure from scrolling. The bee and butterfly don't force attraction—they're naturally drawn to flowers. You can have material wealth, but walk the tightrope: too many unnecessary things steal the space and freedom needed for wisdom.This episode reveals why attraction is achieved through subtraction, how seeking more confirms the prison of ambition, and the necessary subtraction of non-serving parts of yourself. When you can't bend, you break. Stop forcing. Start subtracting. Listen if you're ready to invert everything you thought you knew about getting what you want.

In Part 2, Ted Kroeten goes deeper into the mechanics of free play, why traditional training misreads how kids actually learn, and how small-sided chaos builds problem-solvers, communicators, and creators. From one-v-one misconceptions to futsal culture, mixed-age environments, and why American kids rarely get “underload” time, Ted explains what the U.S. must rethink to compete globally.He also breaks down what parents can actually do to bring joy and development back into their child's soccer life — even without a Joy of the People program nearby.This conversation is a blueprint for the next 10–15 years of American soccer… if we're willing to go “down the mountain” before climbing higher.Key Talking Points• Why 1v1 isn't the holy grail — and why 2v2 teaches the real language of soccer• What small-sided games unlock: communication, deception, decision-making• The concept of overload vs underload and how it shapes development• Why futsal, SALs, barefoot play, and alternate balls accelerate creativity• The danger of top-down coaching and why talk-heavy models block learning• How kids self-regulate, self-officiate, and learn conflict resolution in real play• Why U.S. kids lack free play opportunities — especially girls• The global shift toward small-sided formats and why the U.S. is behind• How parents can build play cultures at home, in neighborhoods, and in friend groups• Ted's vision for the U.S. over the next 10–15 years — and why a “Play Revolution” is comingQuotes from Ted Kroeten• “Kids don't want to learn soccer — they want to be with their friends. The learning is a byproduct.”• “One-v-one doesn't really exist. Two-v-two teaches the real communication of the game.”• “If a kid knows how they learned it, it can be hacked. If they learned it unconsciously, it can't.”• “Small-sided, uncoached play is where the language of the game is spoken.”• “Friends must come before skills. Trust must come before competition.”• “We don't need more performance — we need more joy.”Episode Chapters00:00 — Why 1v1 Is Misunderstood in Player Development03:45 — 2v2 and 3v3: Where the Language of Soccer Lives07:30 — Small-Sided Chaos and Real Decision-Making11:15 — Overload vs Underload: Reading Kids, Not Results15:30 — Why Futsal Changes How Players Think19:30 — Mixed-Age Play and Learning From Older Kids23:30 — When Performance Kills Joy and Creativity27:45 — Kids Who Love Winning vs Kids Who Love Playing31:45 — Parents, Pressure, and the Loss of Free Play36:00 — Why U.S. Soccer Develops Too Early, Too Fast40:30 — Self-Regulation, Conflict, and Social Learning in Play44:30 — Building Play Environments Without a Club48:45 — What Coaches Talk Too Much About52:45 — Peak Height Velocity and Developmental Timing57:00 — Why Free-Play Kids Struggle Early but Thrive Later1:01:15 — Failing First to Build Better Players1:05:30 — The Next 10–15 Years of American Soccer1:09:30 — A Call to Trust Kids and Protect PlayConnect with Ted / Joy of the People

Hey brother, I'm going to teach you the simplest, most powerful and the most elusive coaching tip I've ever learned. It's SIMPLE because it requires no study, no reading, no exercise and no money. It's POWERFUL because it's the most effective way to quickly reduce anxiety and fear without using drugs. And it's ELUSIVE because when you watch this 10-minute video you may get a huge AH-HA!! And then you'll lose it just as quickly. In fact, not everyone who listens to this episode is going to get it. It will seem TOO simple. Or you might think, "Yeah, that doesn't work for me." This simple coaching tip is actually part of the more advanced portion of our coaching process. You've got to be ready for this. And your mind needs to be open to believing something new. Most men contact me for IMMEDIATE help with their crisis of confidence, confusion, anxiety, sadness, uncertainty and/or fear. I'm taking a chance with this episode that I might just help you - if you're ready - to accept a new way of thinking about your thoughts.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roundtable/ If you're facing possible divorce, we have an online course which is specifically for you - Defuse the Divorce Bomb: https://mojopolis.thinkific.com/courses/HDDB-preview?ref=a53950 What if this next year everything changed for you? That's what we want for you brother, We love teaching men these tools - how to be better, how to know who you are, what you stand for, what you want and how to CREATE it in your life through our Masculine Confidence coaching programs.

NIO ended 2025 up 26%, but the journey was wild. XPeng kept over-promising. OpenAI just became too big to fail. And $160 million in Nvidia chips got smuggled to China. This is my 2025 year-end review covering everything that mattered.Thank you for rocking with Courtside Financial all year. Happy New Year! Let me know what content you want to see in 2026.NIO'S 2025 FULL STORYNIO started at $4.55, peaked at $7.89 in October, closed at $5.50 - up 26% for the year.Key moments: February Onvo L60 image sparked 10% jump. March capital raise tanked stock to $3.75, but $4B Hong Kong offering funded growth. April brought Shen Fei as new Onvo president. July-August surge: L60 pre-sales drove 40% gain, third-gen ES8 launch added another 23% spike. September $1B raise initially dropped 9% but rallied 30% as investors recognized growth funding. Stock peaked October 2 at $7.89. November declined 24% as China subsidies ended. December 30 brought 2026 subsidy news, stock closed year at $5.50.Bottom line: NIO executed three-brand strategy, launched Onvo and Firefly, improved margins, raised capital twice. Now faces proving profitability at scale.XPENG'S OVER-PROMISING PROBLEMHe Xiaopeng announced "orders exceeded expectations" five times in 2025 - only MONA M03 delivered. New P7 peaked at 8,104 September units then crashed to 2,882 by November despite 40 units/hour capacity. G7 got 10,000 orders in 9 minutes but sales fell to 2,500-3,500 units while Tesla Model Y averaged 38,000.Service failures: 7,000+ owners complained after $5,000 chip upgrades caused system crashes. XPeng promised nationwide CNGP in 2022 - still only 5 cities despite customers paying $39,000 extra. Trust matters when markets get tough.OPENAI TOO BIG TO FAIL?SoftBank invested $41 billion in OpenAI on December 26, now owns 11%. Microsoft owns 27%. OpenAI valued $300-500 billion, not yet profitable. Committed to $1.4 trillion infrastructure spending. SoftBank sold entire $5.8B Nvidia stake to fund this.The question: Has OpenAI become too big to fail? If it fails, SoftBank, Microsoft, Oracle all hurt. Data centers, Nvidia's growth, entire AI buildout slows. System has to keep OpenAI alive because letting it fail craters too much. That's "too big to fail" - saw it with banks in 2008.OpenAI burns billions, revenue growing but so are costs. If AI hype slows, they have problems. But investors can't let them fail now, will keep funding betting revenue catches up. Risk is real when you build this big, this fast on this much investment.CHIP WARS: $160M SMUGGLING BUSTDOJ unsealed Operation Gatekeeper December 8. October 2024-May 2025: Smugglers moved $160M+ in Nvidia H100/H200 GPUs to China. These chips power AI, same ones OpenAI uses. Export-controlled, can't legally sell to China.How: Fake companies, falsified documents, relabeled chips as "Sandkyan," routed through multiple warehouses. May 28 raid in New Jersey caught three trucks picking up chips. Smugglers used group chat - when police arrived, chat said "dissolve group, delete everyone." Too late.Three arrested, one pleaded guilty facing 10 years. Estimates show 10,000 to hundreds of thousands chips smuggled in 2024.Why China needs them: Building domestic chips but years behind. 60%+ of Chinese AI models still run on Nvidia. Chinese companies pay 2x-5x premium, smugglers risk prison to supply.Trump twist: Same day as bust, Trump posted US would allow H200 exports if government gets 25% cut - exact chips being smuggled. Defense attorneys asked how they're national security threats when President approves export.Reality: Export controls don't work when incentives this strong. Continues until China develops competitive chips (years away), US loosens controls (Trump willing), or AI demand crashes (not happening).

In this special bonus episode, Bishop Andrew Cozzens joins Fr. Mike Schmitz to talk about his role as a bishop of the Catholic Church, his involvement in the Catechism in a Year podcast, and why we can continue to trust in the authority of the Church despite the brokenness of its leaders at times. Bishop Andrew Cozzens is the Bishop of the Diocese of Crookston in northern Minnesota.  He currently serves as the chair of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis where he has been tasked by the Bishops with leading a three-year National Eucharistic Revival. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

On this episode of the Bear Grease Podcast, we’re diving deep into the heart of southern cultural identity and the mind of Jerry Clower. Does that name ring a bell? Jerry was thrust into national fame in the 1970s when a story he told about coon hunting topped the country charts. I’m interested in those odd places where rural culture -- and specifically hunting -- crosses tracks with the mainstream. Wilson Rawls bridged that gap with his book “Where the Red Fern Grows,” and Jerry did it with comedy about hunting varmints. He’s been gone for a long time, but I was able to meet up with his old Amite County neighbor in East Fork, Mississippi: a man named John Newman. He’ll give us a behind the scenes look into who Jerry was, and some of it may surprise you. And believe it not, Brent Reaves met Jerry Clower and saw his famed Gold Cadilac. Brent swears it was as long as a battleship. Trust me boys and girls, you’re not going to want to miss this one!

Comedian Godfrey is joined by Dean Edwards, Eva Evans, Akeem Woods, Dante Nero, and Vishnu Vaka and have an intense, unfiltered conversation after a shocking video from Bangladesh sparks a heated debate. What starts as a discussion about mob violence quickly escalates into a deeper argument about context, historical trauma, race, religion, and why certain comparisons cross a line. The panel wrestles with false equivalencies, lived experiences, and how empathy can break down when history is ignored, before shifting into broader discussions on Black American trauma, immigrant assimilation, modern political rhetoric, culture wars, Hollywood gatekeeping, independent comedy, and Godfrey's special Rebel With a Cause, making this a tense, emotional, and unfiltered episode that moves from global news to personal experience and behind-the-scenes industry stories.Legendary Comedian Godfrey is LIVE from New York, and joins some of his best friends in stand up comedy, Hip-Hop and Hollywood to talk current events, pop culture, race issues, movies, music, TV and Kung Fu.
