Podcasts about Trust

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! Kev kicks this one off with some music nostalgia (The Kinks, The Monkees, and a few Hall of Fame hot takes) before getting into something bigger… timing, letting go, and trusting that things happen when they're supposed to. From watching Maria step into this next chapter with the Heal Squad Reset, to stories from his own career (being early on podcasting, seeing the world catch up later), it all points to the same idea: you can't force what isn't ready yet. There's also a deeper layer around healing, why holding onto emotional weight can impact everything from your health to your success… and how the real shift might not be digging deeper, but actually learning how to let go. A little perspective for the week ahead, and a reminder: trust the timing, and don't force it. Talk shawtly!

"Culture is what people do when no one is around… when people don't feel safe to speak up, give feedback, they don't really believe in each other, then you can have a really toxic culture, which impacts everything. If you don't have culture in place, you have no ROI." —Kerri Burchill, PhD   Leaders everywhere are stretched, anxious, and stuck in scarcity, while cultures quietly turn toxic. We talk about the shift from control and "I" language to trust, active listening, and modern leadership that actually unlocks team capacity and profit. Leadership Consultant, Kerri Burchill, PHD, shares a journey from fast-tracked leadership in education to rebuilding culture in the Caribbean and then launching a consulting practice that helps organizations slow down to go fast. Hit play for a grounded conversation on modern leadership and culture today, including: How leadership language shapes trust, safety, and performance The "I" problem and what it reveals about control Humble inquiry and the real skill of active listening Moving from helicopter leadership to true empowerment Scarcity mindset, anxiety, and leadership burnout Why slowing down decision-making can speed up results Practical ways to give teams power without losing standards   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 01:35 Meet Dr. Kerri: From Education to Leadership Consulting 02:24 How Structures Shape Behavior and Culture 07:21 The "I" Problem and Entitled Leadership 11:32 Holding Space and Creating Psychological Safety 16:11 Bottlenecks, Trust, and Profitability in Business 19:53 Leaving Comfort and Redefining Leadership Identity 23:54 Slow Down to Go Fast: New Leadership Mantra 26:09 Managing Scarcity and Mindset as an Entrepreneur 28:51 Transferable Leadership Wins 31:21 Practical Listening Shifts for Sales and Leadership

On this episode of Impact Theory, host Tom Bilyeu sits down with Prof Jiang for a riveting deep dive into the shifting dynamics of global power, the realities behind rising tensions between the US and China, and the future of the world order. Prof Jiang brings a unique perspective shaped by his own cross-continental journey—from childhood in China, to elite education in the West, and back to teaching in Beijing—offering insider insights into how both sides really view the ongoing geopolitical chess match. Together, they unravel the oft-cited “Thucydides Trap,” explore whether China truly seeks global dominance, and challenge common assumptions about the motivations of world leaders, including Trump's moves in Iran and Venezuela. The conversation doesn't stop at geopolitics; Tom Bilyeu and Prof Jiang also break down the cultural realities shaping policy, the role of eschatology and religious extremism in international relations, and what the coming fragmentation of global systems could mean for everyday people. Whether you're curious about economic theory, fascinated by history's lessons, or trying to make sense of today's headlines, this discussion delivers sharp analysis and thought-provoking debate from two of the most insightful minds working at the intersection of East and West. Prof Jiang's journey has been marked by unexpected turns and intense moments. After a major accomplishment (“we demolished it”), Prof Jiang faced confusion as news emerged about sending boats to Iran, prompting questions about the purpose and direction of these actions. As uprisings increased and more ships were dispatched to help, Prof Jiang grappled with uncertainty—especially when decisive action failed to materialize amidst tragic civilian losses. Amid rising tensions and talk of nuclear weapons, Prof Jiang's story is one of critical questioning and navigating complex geopolitical events, always seeking clarity and accountability in turbulent times.

Many believers carry a quiet burden—the longing to see loved ones come to know Jesus. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or coworker, we recognize their need for hope, peace, and truth. Yet even with that desire, we can feel unsure, hesitant, or even inadequate when it comes to sharing our faith. We often think boldness means having the courage to say all the right words at the right time. We imagine bold faith as something loud, visible, and fearless. And when we don’t feel that way, we may begin to believe we’re falling short. But biblical boldness is not always about volume—it’s about faithfulness. In Philippians 1:27, Paul encourages believers to live in a way that is “worthy of the gospel of Christ.” This kind of boldness is seen not only in what we say, but in how we live. It shows up in our choices, our attitudes, and our responses to others. Boldness can look like extending kindness when others choose criticism. It can look like offering prayer when someone is hurting, even if it feels uncomfortable. It can look like choosing integrity in situations where compromise would be easier. These everyday actions reflect the heart of Christ and quietly point others toward Him. Sharing the gospel is important, and we should continue to pray for opportunities and courage to speak truth clearly. But we should not underestimate the power of a life that consistently reflects Jesus. Love, peace, humility, and grace are testimonies that others can see and experience firsthand. God uses both our words and our actions to reach others. When we take even small steps of obedience, He works through them in ways we may not immediately see. If you feel hesitant or unsure, you are not alone. Ask God for boldness—not just to speak, but to live in a way that reflects His love. Trust that He is already at work in the lives of the people around you, and that He can use your faithfulness to draw them closer to Him. Main Takeaways Many believers desire to share their faith but struggle with boldness. Boldness is not only about speaking—it is also about how we live. Living in a way that reflects Christ is a powerful witness to others. Small acts of obedience can have a lasting spiritual impact. God uses both our words and actions to reach those around us. Today’s Bible Verse Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.

You don't believe you can lose weight. You don't trust yourself around food. You've "failed" too many times. So how are you supposed to succeed when you don't even believe it's possible? In this episode, I'll show you why belief isn't required. You don't need to feel confident. You don't need to trust yourself. You don't need to wake up magically different. You just need to stop acting like someone who's already decided she can't. We'll talk about: – Why your brain is not wired to believe in change – The difference between not believing and acting like you can't – How small, realistic promises build real trust – Why the way you talk to yourself matters more than hunger cues ever will If you've ever thought, "I just don't trust myself," this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom sits down with Professor Jiang for a deep dive into the complex forces driving the current crisis in the Middle East—and the declining arc of global empires. Professor Jiang pulls back the curtain on the true motivations behind the war with Iran, challenging the official narratives and uncovering the hidden economic and geopolitical agendas at play. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Prof Jiang trace the historical strategies of global powers, from the maritime dominance of the British Empire to America's postwar baton-carrying, revealing how control over trade routes and reserve currencies has shaped the modern world. They examine America's military and financial maneuvers, the fragility of the petrodollar system, and how the fallout from the Ukraine war and U.S.-China trade tensions have created a perfect storm. Along the way, they break down the risks of escalation, the role of key players like Russia, Israel, and the GCC, and what's at stake for U.S. global dominance—and your everyday life. This episode is packed with big-picture insights and hard-hitting analysis that will challenge how you think about war, economics, and the future of the American empire.

In this episode of The Regression Session, we listen to a real past life regression session with Justyna.Throughout the session, Justyna experiences a deep internal struggle around trust — questioning whether what she's seeing and feeling is real, meaningful, or something she can rely on. This is something many people encounter during regression work, and this session offers a powerful look into what it's like to move through that uncertainty in real time.As the session unfolds, Justyna is able to briefly access a past life as a soldier, while also working through the resistance and doubt that initially made it difficult to fully engage with the experience.Together, we navigate those challenges and ultimately help her begin to trust herself, trust the process, and reconcile both the physical and energetic aspects of what she's experiencing. This session is a great example of how growth and insight often come through the resistance, not around it.If you're interested in exploring this work more personally, I offer past life regressions, healing and integration sessions, and coaching.You can learn more or book a session at:

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen sits down with Ali Asaria, Co-Founder of Transformer Lab, to unpack the less visible side of the AI boom, from broken machine learning tools to the rise of autonomous research agents. Ali shares what it really looks like inside modern AI development and why the biggest opportunity isn't just using models, but having the ability to train, control, and improve them.Ali also reflects on his journey building across multiple tech waves, from creating BrickBreaker on BlackBerry to scaling Well.ca and Tulip, and now tackling AI infrastructure with Transformer Lab. He breaks down the realities most founders don't talk about, why great products lose deals, how long enterprise sales actually take, and why success often comes down to trust, timing, and people more than technology.Beyond AI, the conversation takes a broader turn into the future of innovation. Ali challenges the tech industry, especially in Canada, to think bigger, rebuild public trust, and focus on solving real-world problems through ambitious “mega projects.” If you're trying to separate AI hype from reality and understand where the real leverage is being created, this episode gives you a much clearer lens.Building BrickBreaker on 150M Devices (00:02:41)How a side project at BlackBerry turned into a global phenomenon. The early lesson that distribution beats perfection. Ali shares how building something simple but widely adopted gave him an early taste of scale. It also shaped his belief that getting into users' hands fast matters more than polishing endlessly in isolation.The Early Days of E-Commerce in Canada (00:05:36)Packing boxes manually, hacking payment systems, and why investors believed e-commerce would never work in Canada. From manually processing credit cards to building infrastructure from scratch, Ali walks through how scrappy the early days really were. It's a reminder that many “obvious” markets today once looked completely unworkable.Scaling Well.ca and the McKesson Exit (00:08:18)How relationships with partners turned into acquisition opportunities. The messy reality behind “successful exits.” Ali explains how long-term partnerships quietly set the stage for acquisition, even before it was intentional. He also highlights how unpredictable and fragile deals can be, even when they seem done.Enterprise Sales Lessons from Tulip (00:11:19)Why great products don't win deals. Trust, relationships, and the human side of multi-million dollar contracts. Ali breaks down how enterprise sales are less about features and more about credibility and relationships built over time. He also shares how incumbents win not because they're better, but because they're already embedded.The Hard Truth About Startup Life (00:13:52)“90% hell, 10% fun.” What founders don't talk about publicly and how to choose the right investors. Behind the highlight reels, Ali emphasizes how difficult the journey really is and how rarely things go to plan. Choosing the right partners becomes critical when things inevitably get hard.The Moment AI Changed Everything (00:16:22)Why language models shattered the belief that human intelligence couldn't be replicated. Ali describes the exact moment his worldview shifted after seeing what LLMs could do. What once felt impossible suddenly became inevitable, changing how he thought about both technology and opportunity.What Transformer Lab Actually Does (00:20:11)Simplifying AI model training, orchestration, and infrastructure across local machines and massive GPU clusters. Ali explains how fragmented and complex current AI workflows are, especially for researchers. Transformer Lab aims to remove that friction and make building models far more accessible and efficient.Scaling AI From One Machine to Thousands (00:23:14)The technical leap required to move from hobbyist experimentation to full-scale AI labs. Moving from a single machine to distributed systems introduces massive complexity most developers never see. Ali breaks down why solving this unlock is essential for the next generation of AI builders.AI Hype vs Reality (00:25:41)Why Ali believes we may already have AGI, and why valuations still don't make sense. Ali challenges the common narrative by arguing we're closer to AGI than people admit. At the same time, he questions whether the current market can realistically justify the valuations we're seeing.Canada's Startup Ecosystem: Challenges & Advantages (00:32:11)Why geography matters less than mindset, and why building is always hard everywhere. Ali pushes back on the idea that location is the primary constraint for founders. Instead, he argues that resilience and ambition matter far more than where you're building from.Why Tech Has Lost Public Trust (00:34:12)From rebels to power players, and what founders must do to rebuild credibility. Ali reflects on how the tech industry's image has shifted over time and why that matters. Rebuilding trust requires focusing on real impact, not just growth or financial wins.The Case for Mega Projects (00:38:09)Why Canada needs bold, visible innovation bets that actually improve everyday life. Ali argues that large-scale, collaborative initiatives could realign public perception and drive meaningful progress. The key is solving problems people actually feel in their daily lives.The Future of AI and Talent Sovereignty (00:41:28)Why owning talent matters more than owning infrastructure in the AI race. Ali emphasizes that long-term advantage comes from people, not just technology or compute. Countries that develop and retain top talent will ultimately shape the future of AI.About Ali AsariaAli Asaria is a serial entrepreneur and one of Canada's most accomplished technology founders. He created the iconic BrickBreaker game on BlackBerry, founded Well.ca (later acquired by McKesson), and built Tulip into a leading enterprise retail platform backed by top-tier investors.He is now the co-founder of Transformer Lab, an open-source platform designed to simplify and scale AI model development.

DeAnn Huinker & Melissa Hedges, Math Trajectories for Young Learners, Part 1 ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 14 Research confirms that early mathematics experiences play a more significant role than we once imagined. Studies suggest that specific number competencies in 4-year-olds are strong predictors of fifth grade mathematics success. So what does it look like to provide meaningful mathematical experiences for our youngest learners?  Today, we'll explore this question with DeAnn Huinker from UW-Milwaukee and Melissa Hedges from the Milwaukee Public Schools.  BIOGRAPHY Dr. DeAnn Huinker is a professor of mathematics education in the Department of Teaching and Learning and directs the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Mathematics and Science Education Research. Dr. Huinker teaches courses in mathematics education at the early childhood, elementary, and middle school levels. Dr. Melissa Hedges is a curriculum specialist who supports K–5 and K–8 schools for the Milwaukee Public Schools.  RESOURCES Math Trajectories for Young Learners book by DeAnn Huinker and Melissa Hedges Learning Trajectories website, featuring the work of Doug Clements and Julie Sarama  School Readiness and Later Achievement journal article by Greg Duncan and colleagues  Early Math Trajectories: Low‐Income Children's Mathematics Knowledge From Ages 4 to 11 journal article by Bethany Rittle-Johnson and colleagues TRANSCRIPT Mike Wallus: Welcome back to the podcast, DeAnn and Melissa. You have both been guests previously. It is a pleasure to have both of you back with us again to discuss your new book, Math Trajectories for Young Learners. Melissa Hedges: Thank you for having us. We're both very excited to be here. DeAnn Huinker: Yes, I concur. Good to see you and be here again. Mike: So DeAnn, I think what I'd like to do is just start with an important grounding question. What's a trajectory? DeAnn: That's exactly where we need to start, right? So as I think about, "What are learning trajectories?," I always envision them as these road maps of children's mathematical development. And what makes them so compelling is that these learning pathways are highly predictable. We can see where children are in their learning, and then we can be more intentional in our teaching when we know where they are currently at. But if I kind of think about the development of learning trajectories, they really are based on weaving together insights from research and practice to give us this clear picture of the typical development of children's learning. And as we always think about these learning trajectories, there are three main components.  The first component is a mathematical goal. This is the big ideas of math that children are learning. For example, counting, subitizing, decomposing shapes. The second component of a learning trajectory are developmental progressions. This is really the heart of a trajectory. And the progression lays out a sequence of distinct levels of thinking and reasoning that grow in mathematical sophistication. And then the third component are activities and tasks that align to and support children's movement along that particular trajectory.  Now, it's really important that we point out the learning trajectories that we use in our work with teachers and children were developed by Doug Clements and Julie Sarama. So we have taken their trajectories and worked to make them more usable and applicable for teachers in our area. So what Doug and Julie did is they mapped out children's learning starting at birth—when children are just-borns, 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds—and they mapped it out up till about age 8. And right now, last count, they have about 20 learning trajectories. And they're in different topics like number, operations, geometry, and measurement. And we have to put in a plug. They have a wonderful website. It's learningtrajectories.org. We go there often to learn more about the trajectories and to get ideas for activities and tasks.  Now, we're talking about this new book we have on math trajectories for young children. And in the book, we actually take a deep dive into just four of the trajectories. We look at counting, subitizing, composing numbers, and adding and subtracting. So back to your original question: What are they? Learning trajectories are highly predictable roadmaps of children's math learning that we can use to inform and support developmentally appropriate instruction. Mike: That's an incredibly helpful starting point. And I want to ask a follow-up just to get your thinking on the record. I wonder if you have thoughts about how you imagine educators could or should make use of the trajectories. Melissa: This is Melissa. I'll pick up with that question. So I'll piggyback on DeAnn's response and thinking around this highly predictable nature of a trajectory as a way to ground my first comment and that we want to always look at a trajectory as a tool. So it's really meant as an important tool to help us understand where a child is and their thinking right now, and then what those next steps might be to push for some deeper mathematical understanding.  So the first thing that when we work with teachers that we like to keep in mind, and one of the things that actually draw teachers to the trajectories is that they're strength-based. So it's not what a child can't do. It's what a child can do right now based off of experience and opportunity that they've had. We also really caution against using our trajectories as a way to kind of pigeonhole kids or rank kids or label kids because what we know is that as children have more experience and opportunity, they grow and they learn and they advance along that trajectory. So really it's a tool that's incredibly powerful when in the hands of a teacher that understands how they work to be able to think about where are the children right now in their classroom and what can they do to advance them.  And I think the other point that I would emphasize other than what moves children along is experience and opportunity. Children are going to be all over on the trajectory—that's been our experience—and they're in the same classroom. And it's not that some can't and some won't and some can; it's just some need more experience and some need more opportunity. So it's really opened up the door many ways to view a more equitable approach to mathematics instruction.  The other thing that I would say is, and DeAnn and I had big conversations about this when we were first using the trajectories, is: Do we look at the ages? So the trajectories that Clements and Sarama develop do have age markers on them. And we were a bit back and forth on, "Do we use them?," "Do we not?," knowing that mathematical growth is meant to be viewed through a developmental lens. So we had them on and then we had them off and then we shared them with teachers and many of our projects and the teachers were like, "No, no, no, put the ages back on. Trust us. We'll use them well." (laughs) And so the ages are back onto the trajectories. And what we've noticed is that they really do help us understand how to take either intentional steps forward or intentional steps back, depending on what kids are showing us on that trajectory.  The other spot that I would maybe put a plugin for on where we could use a trajectory and what would be an appropriate use for it would be for our special educators out there and to really start to use them to support clear, measurable IEP goals grounded in a developmental progress. So that's kind of what our rule of thumb would be around a "should" and "shouldn't" with the trajectories. Mike: That's really helpful. You mentioned the notion of experiences and opportunities being critical. So I wanted to take perhaps a bit of a detour and talk about what research tells us about the impact of early mathematics experiences, what impact that has on children. I wonder if you could share some of the research that you cite in the book with our listeners. DeAnn: Sure. This is DeAnn, and in the book we cite research throughout all of the chapters and aligned to all of the different trajectories. But as we think about our work, there really are a few studies that we anchor in, always, as we think about children's learning. And the research evidence is really clear that early mathematics matters. The math that children learn in these early years in prekindergarten, kindergarten, first grade—I mean, we're talking 4-, 5-, 6-year-olds, 7-year-olds—that their math learning is really more important than a lot of people think it is. OK? So as we think about these kind of anchor studies that we look at, one of the major studies in this area is from Greg Duncan and his colleagues, and there was a study published in 2007. And what they did is they examined data from thousands of children drawing information from six large-scale studies, and they found that the math knowledge and abilities of 4- and 5-year-olds was the strongest predictor of later achievement. I mean, 4- and 5-year-olds, that's just as they're starting school. Mike: Wow. DeAnn: Yeah. One of the surprising findings was that they found early math knowledge and abilities was a stronger predictor than social emotional skills, stronger than family background, and stronger than family income. That it was the math knowledge that was predictive. Mike: That's incredible. DeAnn: Yes. A couple other surprising things from this study was that early math was a stronger predictor than early reading. Now, we know reading is really important, and we know reading gets a lot of emphasis in the early grades, but math is a stronger predictor than reading. And then one last thing I'll say about this study is that early math not only predicts later math achievement, it also predicts later reading achievement. So that is always a surprise as we share that information with teachers, that early math seems to matter as much and perhaps more than early reading abilities.  There's a couple other studies I'll share with you as well. So there's this body of research that talks about [how] early math is very predictive of later learning, but we're teachers, we're educators. We like to know, "Well, what math seems to be most important?" So there was a study in 2016 that looked at children's math learning in prekindergarten, 4-year-olds, and then looked at their learning again back in fifth grade. And what was unique about this study is they looked closely at what specific math topics seemed to matter the most. And what they found was that advanced number competencies were the strongest predictors of later achievement.  Now, what are advanced number competencies? So these are the three that really stood out as being important. One was being able to count a set of objects with cardinality. So in other words, counting things, not just being able to recite a count sequence, no. So not verbal rote counting, but actually counting things, putting those numbers to objects. Another thing that they found [that] was really important was being able to count forward from any number. So if I said, "Start at 7 and keep counting," "Start at 23 and keep counting," that that was predictive of later learning. And the reason for that is when kids can count forward from a number, it helps them understand the structure of the number system, something we're always working on. And then the third thing that they found as part of advanced number competencies was conceptual subitizing. Now, what that is, is being able to see a number such as 5 as composed of subgroups, like 5 being composed of 4 and 1 or 3 and 2. So subitizing is being able to see the parts of a number, and that was really important for these 4-year-olds to begin working on for later learning.  All right. One more, Mike, that I can share? Mike: Fire away! Yes. DeAnn: OK. So this last area of research that I want to share is actually really important as we think about the work of teachers in kindergarten and first grade in particular. So what these researchers did is they looked at children's learning at the beginning of kindergarten and then at the end of first grade. So, wow, think of the math kids learn from 5, 6 years old. And they found that these gains in what children can do was more predictive of later achievement than just what knowledge they had coming in. So learning gains, what children do and learn in math in kindergarten and first grade, is predictive of their mathematical success up through third grade. And then another study took it even further and said: Wait a minute, what they learn in kindergarten and first grade even predicts children's math achievement into high school. So there's just a growing body of research and evidence that early math is really important. The math learning of 4-year-olds, 5-year-olds, 6-year-olds, and 7-year-olds really builds this foundation that determines children's mathematical success many years later. Mike: This feels like a really great segue to a conversation about what it means to provide students opportunities for meaningful counting. That feels particularly significant when I heard all of the ideas that you were sharing in the research. I'm wondering if you could talk about the features of a meaningful counting experience. If we were to try to break that down and think about: What does that mean? What does that look like? What types of experiences count as meaningful when it comes to counting? Could you all talk about that a little bit? Melissa: Yeah, that's a great question, Mike. This is Melissa.  So I think what's interesting about the idea of meaningful counting is, the more DeAnn and I studied the trajectory and spent time working with teachers and students, we came to the conclusion that the counting trajectory in particular is anchored, or a cornerstone of that counting trajectory is really meaningful counting. That once a skill is acquired—and we'll talk a little bit more about meaningful counting—but once that skill is acquired, it just builds and develops as kids grow and have more experience with number and quantity.  So when we think about meaningful counting, the phrase that we like to use is that "Numbers represent quantity." And it's just not that kids are saying numbers out loud, it's that when they say "5," they know what 5 means. They know how many that is. They can connect it to a context that they can go grab five of something. They might know that 5 is bigger than 2 or that 10 is bigger than 5. So they start to really play with this idea of quantity. And specifically when we're talking about kids engaging in meaningful counting, there's really key skills and understandings that we're looking and watching for as children count. The first one DeAnn already alluded to, is this idea of cardinality. So when I count how many I have—1, 2, 3, 4, 5—if that's the size of my set, when someone asks me, "How many is it?," I can say "5" without needing to go back and count. So I can hold that quantity. Another one is stable count sequence. So we used to call it rote count sequence. And again, DeAnn referenced the idea that, really, when we're asking kids to count, we're asking more than just saying numbers. So we think about the stability and the confidence in their counting. One of the pieces that we've started to really watch very carefully and think carefully about with our children as we're watching many of them count is their ability to organize. So it's not the job of the teacher to organize the counter, to tell the child how to lay out the counters. It really is the work of the child because it brings to bear counting, saying the numbers, maintaining cardinality, as well as sets them up and sets us up to see where they at with that one-to-one correspondence. So can they organize a set of counters in such a way that allows them to say one number, one touch, one object? And then as they continue to coordinate those skills, are they able to say back and hold onto the idea of quantity?  So the other ideas that we like to consider, mostly because they're embedded in the trajectory and we've seen them become incredibly important as we work with children, is the idea of producing a set. So when I ask a child, "Can you give me five?," they give me five, or are they able to stop when they get to five? Do they keep counting? Do they pick up a handful of counters and dump it in my hand? So all of those things are what we're looking for as we're thinking about the idea of producing a set.  And then finally, even for our youngest ones, we really place a fair importance on the idea of representing a count. So can they demonstrate, can they show on paper what they did or how many they have? So we leave with a very rudimentary math sketch. So if they've counted a collection of five, how would they represent five on that paper? What that allows then the teacher to do is to continue to leverage where the trajectory goes as well as what they know about young children to bring in meaningful experiences tied to writing numbers, tied to having conversations about numbers. So the kids aren't doing worksheets, they're actually documenting something very important to them, which is this collection of whatever it is that they just counted in a way that makes sense to them. And so I think the other part that I like to talk about when we think about meaningful counting is this idea of hierarchical inclusion. It's that idea that children understand that numbers are nested one within each other and that each number in the count sequence is exactly 1 higher than what they said before. So, many times our reference with that is with our teachers are those little nesting dolls. So we think about 1 and then we wrap 2 around it and then we wrap 3 around it. So when we think about the number 3, we're thinking, "Well, it's actually the quantity of 2 and 1 more." And we see that as a really powerful understanding in particular as our children get older and we ask them not just what is 1 more or 1 less, but what is 10 more or 10 less, that they take that and they extend that in meaningful ways. So again, the idea of meaningful counting, regardless of where we are on the trajectory, it's the idea that numbers represent quantities. And the neat thing about the trajectory—the counting trajectory in particular—is that they give us really beautiful markers as to when to watch for these. So we tend to talk about the trajectories as levels. So we'll say at level 6 on our counting trajectory is where we see cardinality first start to kind of show up, where we're starting to look for it. And then we watch that idea of cardinality grow as children get older, as they have more experience and opportunity, and as they work with larger numbers. Mike: That's incredibly helpful.  So I think one of the things that really jumped out, and I want to mark this and give you all an opportunity to be a little bit more explicit than you already were—this importance of linking numbers and quantities. And I wonder if you could say a bit more about what you mean, just to make sure that our listeners have a full understanding of why that is so significant. DeAnn: All right, this is DeAnn. I'll jump in and get started, and Melissa can add on.  As we first started to study the learning trajectory, the one thing we noticed was the importance of connecting things to quantity. Even some of the original levels didn't necessarily say "quantity," but we anchor our work to developing meaning for our work. And we always think about, even when we're skip-counting, it should be done with objects that we should be able to see skip-counting as quantities, not just as words that I'm reciting. So across the trajectory, we put this huge emphasis on always connecting them to items, to things, or to actions and to movements so that it's not just a word, but that word has some meaning and significance for the child. Mike: I think that takes me to the other bit of language, Melissa, that you said that I want to come back to. You said at one point when you were describing meaningful counting experiences, you said, "One number, one touch, one object." And I wonder if you could unpack that, particularly "one touch," for young children and why that feels significant. Melissa: That's a great question. And I'll come at this through a lens of watching many, many children count and working with lots and lots of teachers. When children are counting a set, many times they'll look and they'll go, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9," and then however many are in the collection, they'll just say, "9" by just looking. And one of the things that we've noticed is that sometimes we need to explicitly give permission to children to do what they need to do with that collection to find out how many. Sometimes they're afraid to touch the items. Sometimes they don't know that they can. And we don't come right out and say, "Go ahead and touch them." But we just say, "Gosh, is there another way that you could find out how many?" And what we notice are some amazing and interesting ways kids organize their collections. So sometimes to be able to get to that "one touch, one, number one object," they'll lay them out in a row. Sometimes they'll lay them out in a circle and they'll mark the one that they started with. Sometimes, with our little guys in particular, we like to give them collections where they have to sit things up, so like, the little counting bears. So if the bears are lying down, the kids will be very intentional in, "I set it up and I count it. I set it up and I count it. " And they all, many times, have to be facing the same direction as well. So the kids are very particular about, "How does this fit into the counting experience?" And I would say that's one thing that's been really significant for us in understanding that it really is the work of the child to do that "one touch, one object, one count" in a way that matters to them. And that a teacher can very easily lay it out and say, "Find out how many. Remember to touch one and tell me the number." Then it's not coming from the child. Then we don't know what they know. So that's been a really, really interesting aspect for us to watch in kids is, "How are they choosing to go into and enter into counting that?" And we look at that as problem solving from our youngest, from our 3-year-olds, all the way up, is: "What are you going to do with that pile of stuff in front of you?" And that's an authentic problem for them, and it's meaningful. Mike: I think what jumps out about that from me is the structure of what you just described is actually an experience and it's an opportunity to make sense of counting versus what perhaps has typically happened, which is a procedure for counting that we're asking kids to replicate and show us again. And what strikes me is you're advocating for a sensemaking opportunity because that's the work of the child. As opposed to, "Let me show you how to do it; you do it again and show it back to me," but what might be missing is meaning or connection to something that's real and that sets up what we think might be a house of cards or at the very least it has significant implications as you described in the research. Melissa: One of the things, Mike, that I would add on that actually I just thought about is, when you were talking about the importance of us letting the children figure out how they want to approach that task of organizing their count, is: It's coming from the child. And Clements and Sarama talk about, the beautiful work about the trajectory is that we see that the mathematics comes from the child and we can nurture that along in developmentally appropriate ways.  The other idea that popped into my mind is: It's kind of a parallel to when our children get older and we want to teach them a way to add and a way to subtract. And I'm going to show you how to do it and you follow my procedure. I'm going to show it; you follow my procedure. We know that that's not best practice either. And so we're really looking at: How do we grab onto that idea of number sense and move forward with it in a way that's meaningful with children from as young as 1 and 2 all the way up? Mike: I hope you've enjoyed the first half of our conversation with DeAnn and Melissa as much as I have. We'll release the second half of our conversation on April 9th.

AI, fraud, and tech bloat are quietly reshaping property management… most operators just haven't connected the dots yet. In this episode, I sit down with Dom Beveridge (20for20) to break down what's actually happening inside large multifamily portfolios - and what it means for single-family operators.We discuss:(00:00:00) - Intro(00:02:23) - The 20for20 annual report explained(00:04:44) - Deep vs wide research(00:05:51) - Multifamily vs scattered-site differences(00:07:47) - Maintenance operations deep dive(00:15:52) - Sponsor - DoorLoop(00:17:28) - Cross-learning between SFR and multifamily(00:34:14) - Sponsor: Enterprise Bank & Trust(00:35:38) - Tech consolidation(00:42:00) - AI impact on property tech(00:43:54) - AI-first vs AI-enabled software(00:48:53) - PMS vendors heading toward irrelevance(00:53:04) - Data as the ultimate moat(00:56:23) - Accessing the report and speaking engagements(00:57:22) - Closing remarksWe get into why fraud isn't really about “bad actors," it's a bad debt problem hiding in plain sight. And why a lot of screening processes (yes, even yours) are more guesswork than science. We also unpack how tech stacks ballooned to 30–40+ tools, why that's creating operational drag, and what companies are doing to fix it.Then there's AI. We talk about the shift from “AI-enabled” to truly AI-first software, and why that distinction is about to matter a lot more than people think.Along the way, we compare multifamily vs SFR (especially in maintenance and leasing) and where each model is ahead (and behind).Learn more and connect with Dom here: Download the new edition of the 20for20 Annual SurveyLinkedInWebsite__Resources for Property Managers & Real Estate EntrepreneursCrane – Private PM Owner Community → Join a private network of property management owners and operators: https://joincrane.co/Free Weekly Newsletter → Property management insights, strategies, and industry updates direct to your inbox: https://peter.beehiiv.com/subscribeRL Property Management → Learn more about Peter's company and services in Columbus, Ohio: https://rlpmg.com/__Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice.

When "Denied" Goes Viral: AI Claim Denials, TrumpRx, and America's Healthcare Trust Crisis The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series Thank you, I'm Paul Vogelzang. Today's episode is brought to you by Caraway. Good Looking. Clean Cooking. Have you ever stood at the pharmacy counter, card in hand, and heard one word: denied? For our listeners over 50, that moment isn't about inconvenience. It's blood pressure meds. It's insulin. It's the medication that keeps you steady, independent, and in your own life. And then comes the "solution": "Try a coupon." "Pay cash." "Use a marketplace." Behind that advice is a system that can feel like a black box—prior authorization, shifting formularies, and now, more and more, algorithms. AI can speed up decisions, but it can also shut a door without giving you a clear, human explanation. Now add the third ingredient: social media. A nonstop feed that can take real pain and turn it into a blame spiral—until people stop asking, "How do we fix this?" and start asking, "Who do we punish?" We've seen how fast outrage can spread, and how dangerous it can become when it's celebrated instead of cooled down. Today on The Not Old Better Show, we're connecting those dots—insurance hurdles, AI-driven denials, and the polarization that's eroding trust. Our guest is Dr. William Soliman, CEO of the Accreditation Council for Medical Affairs and a leading expert on pharma and health insurance. He'll explain TrumpRx—what it is, what it isn't, and why a discount price that doesn't count toward your deductible can backfire for seniors on multiple medications. We'll talk reform. We'll talk responsible tech. And we'll talk empathy—because healthcare can't run on anger. And it's never too late to insist on dignity at the doctor's office. Remember, support our sponsors: today's episode is brought to you by Caraway. Good Looking. Clean Cooking.

This week, Jake and Bob welcome Dr. John Bishop, founder of FORGE, to continue their series on healing in men. John shares his perspective on why so many men today lack a clear picture of what it means to be a good man. He begins with the story of Adam, uncovering God's original design for masculinity—one rooted in work, responsibility, and the courage to engage in the world and the people entrusted to him. From there, he describes the wounds men experience from Adam's fall: fear, shame, and the tendency for men to withdraw, hide, or dominate rather than love. Yet, with Jesus Christ as a model, whose life and sacrifice reveal the true strength of a man, they reflect on how men can recover a living image of faithful, engaged, and restored masculinity.   Key Points: There is a widespread struggle to engage men in the life of the Church. A central problem facing men today is the lack of a clear and compelling picture of what it means to be a good man. Without strong masculine examples in families, churches, and schools, many men turn to cultural voices that offer distorted visions of masculinity. Adam is the first image of authentic masculinity and reveals a masculine inclination towards responsibility and stewardship. The Fall reveals a core masculine temptation: disengagement, as Adam remains passive when evil enters the garden. Fear and shame often drive men to withdraw emotionally or hide behind work, distractions, or performance. True masculinity requires engagement with both the external world and the interior life of relationships. Jesus Christ, the New Adam, reveals the ultimate image of masculinity through sacrificial love and radical trust in the Father. Fathers ultimately help their sons become men by guiding them toward the deeper truth that their identity is rooted in being beloved sons of God.   Resources: John's Ministry: Forge New Adam: God's Plan for Men by Dr. John Bishop   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 07:22 Seeing Our Identity as Son, Brother, Bridegroom, and Father 12:17 What's Going On with Men in Our Current Age? 25:07 Adam: The First Image of Masculinity 35:44 Engaging with the World as a Man 47:38 Learning to Trust the Creator of the Universe   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that quietly holds a lot of creators back — the belief that your work needs to resonate with everyone. It feels natural. We're wired for connection. We want to be seen, appreciated, recognized. That's human. But when that instinct starts driving your creative decisions, it can pull you further and further away from the very thing that makes your work meaningful in the first place. So here's the truth I want you to hear clearly: You don't need everyone. Not their approval. Not their attention. Not their validation. In fact, trying to get all of that is one of the fastest ways to dilute your voice and disconnect from what matters most. This episode is about what happens when you stop chasing everyone — and start creating from a place that's actually true to you. The Core Idea If you try to make something for everyone, you end up making it for no one. I see this all the time — creators, entrepreneurs, builders of all kinds trying to shape their work so broadly that it appeals to the widest possible audience. And on the surface, that makes sense. More people should mean more opportunity, right? But in practice, the opposite tends to happen. When you aim at everyone: Your message gets softer Your point of view gets less clear Your work becomes harder to connect with Because the things that actually resonate — the things that stick — are specific. They're personal. They come from a real place. The goal isn't to be liked by more people. The goal is to be meaningful to the right people. What You'll Hear in This Episode This is a short, focused episode, but it cuts right to the heart of what matters: Why we're wired to seek approval — and how that instinct can quietly shape our creative decisions The hidden cost of trying to please everyone — and why it leads to weaker work The simple framework for creating work that actually resonates Why authenticity isn't a buzzword — it's a requirement for connection How small audiences can create big impact when the alignment is right Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) 01:51 – Why creators feel pressure to be liked by everyone 02:21 – The problem with trying to appeal to everyone 03:22 – Why pleasing everyone leads to weaker results 03:45 – The three-step framework: create, share, repeat 05:01 – Why people can feel whether you love your work 06:19 – Stop looking sideways and start creating from within 07:08 – Why you don't need a massive audience to succeed 08:13 – Finding your people through consistent creation The Shift That Changes Everything There's a subtle but powerful shift at the center of this conversation: Stop trying to get your work liked. Start making work you actually like. That might sound simple, but it's not always easy. Because it requires you to: Trust your own taste Follow your own curiosity Create without immediate validation And that can feel uncomfortable — especially in a world that constantly shows you what everyone else is doing. But here's the thing: People can tell. They can feel when your work is coming from a place of genuine interest, curiosity, and care — versus when it's shaped to chase trends or approval. And over time, that difference compounds. You Don't Need Everyone — You Need the Right Few One of the biggest myths in modern creative culture is that success requires a massive audience. Millions of followers. Huge reach. Constant visibility. But the reality is much more grounded. You don't need thousands of people to love your work. You need a small number of the right people. People who: Understand what you're making Connect with it deeply Care enough to engage, support, and share And those people don't show up all at once. They show up one at a time. Through consistent work. Through honest expression. Through putting something real into the world over and over again. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into something practical, start here: Where am I trying to please everyone instead of being specific? What kind of work do I actually love making — regardless of response? Am I creating from curiosity, or from approval-seeking? Who are the "right people" for my work? What would I make if I stopped worrying about being liked? A Simple Practice If this idea resonates, here's something you can do right away: Make one thing this week that you genuinely care about Don't optimize it for reach Don't shape it for approval Just make it true to you Then share it. Not because everyone will like it — but because the right people might. And that's how this works. Final Thought The more you try to be everything to everyone, the harder it is to be anything meaningful at all. So stop chasing the crowd. Start making what matters to you. Share it. Repeat. You don't need everyone. You just need your people.

BONUS: How to Build Teams That Think, Own, and Execute Without Burnout What if the problem isn't your people—but how your leadership shows up? In this episode, Sid Jashnani unpacks how Agile thinking, EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), and his DELTA Delegation Ladder can help leaders build teams that truly own outcomes, execute without micromanagement, and grow the business—without burning out leaders or teams. The Breaking Point: When Smart People Don't Own Outcomes "I realized that I was the system, I was the bottleneck. And I was the one orchestrating everything. And if I were to step away for just going for dinner with my family, I would still get a call from someone."   Around 2014, Sid was running a thriving systems integration company with great people—people he trusted and loved working with. But they weren't owning outcomes. They were busy, but not always productive. Every decision fell back on Sid, and when the calls kept coming during family dinners, he started responding with irritation and sarcasm—a leadership pattern he knew was unsustainable. That moment of self-awareness became the catalyst for change. Sid realized the problem wasn't his team's competence; it was his inability to get them aligned, accountable, and clear on expectations.  That's when he discovered EOS—a business operating system created by Gino Wickman that orchestrates how you set priorities, run meetings, connect with your team, and track your numbers. Over the next few years, implementing EOS across his organization brought the clarity, accountability, and discipline his business needed. Where Agile and EOS Overlap: Trust Through Structure "The real overlap is trust through structure. If there's no structure, then I'm not accountable to you. I can do whatever."   Sid sees deep parallels between Agile and EOS. Both are allergic to hero culture. Both push decisions as close to the work as possible. Both rely on cadence—sprints, weekly meetings, daily stand-ups—to create rhythm without micromanagement. And both use visibility, numbers, and scorecards to keep teams aligned. But the real overlap, as Sid frames it, is trust through structure. In EOS, teams are structured through an accountability chart: who owns what outcome, who reports to whom, and how success is defined for each role. Without that structure, accountability becomes optional, and without accountability, trust never forms. Sid connects this directly to Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team—where trust sits at the base of the pyramid, enabling healthy conflict, commitment, accountability, and ultimately results. The key anti-pattern Sid warns about: people picking only the comfortable parts of a system and relaxing the parameters so much that it becomes "SOS—Sid's Operating System—which is just an emergency call for help." In this episode, we also refer to Traction, by Gino Wickman, a foundational book for Sid in his career.  The DELTA Delegation Ladder: From Command-and-Control to Co-Founder Mode "Delegation fails because leaders skip levels."   Sid introduces his DELTA Delegation Ladder—a five-level framework for understanding where your team members sit and how to delegate accordingly:   D — Do as I say: Pure execution of instructions. Sid notes this level is increasingly being replaced by AI. E — Explore the possible solutions: Research and present options, but the leader still makes the decision. Also increasingly delegable to AI. L — Lead with a recommendation: The entry point for real human value. The person researches, forms a hypothesis, and recommends a path forward. Sid considers this the minimum hiring bar. T — Take action with oversight: The person takes decisions and acts, keeping the leader in the loop. Trust has been built through coaching and mentoring. A — Autonomous execution: Co-founder mode. The person owns the outcome end-to-end. Full trust, full ownership.   Delegation fails when leaders skip levels—expecting someone at "D" to operate at "A." It also fails when leaders abdicate rather than delegate, throwing someone into a role without investing time in coaching, clarifying expectations, or showing them what "great" looks like. As Sid puts it: delegation only works if you spend time with the person you're delegating to. Remote Teams: Written Clarity Beats Verbal Alignment "Trust comes from predictability, not proximity. I can be 1,000 miles across the world from you and trust you, because I can predict what your actions are gonna be."   For distributed and cross-timezone teams, Sid's non-negotiables are clear: get good at writing, and over-communicate. Written clarity beats verbal alignment every time, especially across cultures where tone and directness vary widely—from British politeness to Dutch directness. Over-communication isn't a flaw; it's the standard for remote teams. Without it, accountability vanishes and culture erodes. Sid points out that trust in remote settings comes from predictability—can you predict that someone will hit their milestones, complete their to-dos, and follow through?—not from physical proximity. Someone sitting next to you who consistently misses deadlines will never earn your trust, while someone across the world who reliably delivers will.   Self-reflection Question: Where on the DELTA Delegation Ladder are the people you're currently delegating to—and are you investing the time and coaching they need to move up, or are you skipping levels and hoping for miracles?   About Sid Jashnani Sid is a founder, operator, and growth advisor who scaled a systems integration firm into a portfolio of IT businesses. After struggling with delegation and predictability, EOS transformed how he led. Through Outgrow, Sid helps founders drive 15–30% predictable growth with disciplined execution and proactive customer communication.   You can link with Sid Jashnani on LinkedIn.   You can also read his weekly newsletter, Leadership Bytes Weekly on Substack.

Somebody recently asked me how it's possible that there are so many stories of hashgachah peratit. I told him, there are millions of stories happening to people every single day. If all those people would relate their stories, there wouldn't be enough paper in the world to contain them. Just the other day, I was walking in a neighborhood that I normally do not frequent, and while there, two people approached me to tell me stories that had happened to them over the past couple of days. If I hadn't been there, they wouldn't have thought to share their stories. They, like millions of others, would have remained unknown. Stories are happening constantly because Hashem is involved in everyone's lives at every moment. The first person told me he is an accountant, and during tax season he often stays late at work. When he stays late, he orders dinner from a nearby restaurant. He enjoys having a Coke with ice with his dinner, so he ordered one with his meal. When the food arrived, he went to the ice machine in his office, but saw that it was broken. It looked like he would have to miss out on the ice that night. However, when he opened the bag from the restaurant, he saw that they had sent him a separate cup filled with ice along with the Coke. He said that in his entire life he had never once received a cup of ice from a restaurant delivery. It felt like a small but personal gesture from Hashem, as if He was saying, "I know you like your drink with ice—I want you to enjoy it tonight." The second person told me that he had learned last year the concept that money spent on Shabbat is not included in the yearly allotment that is determined on Rosh Hashanah, and whatever is spent on Shabbat is always returned. Inspired by this, he decided to host many guests each week and serve the finest foods. From then on, he began spending between two and three thousand dollars every Shabbat. After six months, he began wondering how Hashem would pay him back all that money. Last week, he received a phone call from the homeowner from whom he rents a summer house. He had a four-year agreement and had only used it for two years so far. The homeowner said he wanted to terminate the contract. The man replied that his family loved the house and were looking forward to returning. The homeowner then offered him ten thousand dollars to cancel. He declined. The offer went up to twenty, then thirty, then forty thousand dollars, and he still refused. Finally, the homeowner offered fifty thousand dollars. At that point, his wife told him to accept, and he did. Afterward, he went back and calculated all the extra money he had spent on Shabbat food over the past six months. The total came out to just under fifty thousand dollars. In one moment, he saw clearly how every dollar he spent on Shabbat had been returned to him in a way he never could have imagined. Hashem is involved in everyone's life every minute of the day. When we share these stories, we give others chizuk and help them come closer to Hashem by seeing how much He is involved in every detail. If anyone would like to share their stories, they can email them to livingemunah123@gmail.com If we would only open our eyes, we would see that our lives are filled with endless stories of Hashem's loving Hand.

If your child flips from calm to furious in seconds, you may wonder why your child's mood swings aren't just attitude and when to worry. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, founder of Regulation First Parenting™ and expert in childhood emotional dysregulation, explains what's really driving the behavior—and how to help.If your child goes from calm to furious in seconds, you've probably heard, “It's just hormones” or “It's attitude.” But what if why your child's mood swings aren't just attitude and when to worry is the real question?Let's unpack what's really driving your child's behavior, when mood shifts may point to mental health issues, and how to calm the brain first.Why do my child's mood swings feel so extreme?Mood swings don't automatically mean bad attitude. Often, they reflect nervous system overload — and sometimes emerging mental health conditions, including depressive symptoms.When stress builds, cortisol rises, the amygdala fires fast, and the thinking brain goes offline. That's when you hear, “I hate you!” or “You're ruining my life!”In younger children, regulation skills are still developing. But when reactions are intense, frequent, and prolonged, we consider whether something more is happening — such as:Anxiety disordersAttention deficit hyperactivity disorderAutism spectrum disorderOppositional defiant disorderDisruptive mood dysregulation disorderEarly signs of a mood disorder, including major depressive disorder or even bipolar disorderWhat's really happening:The emotional brain is overactivatedThe logical brain can't regulate quicklyStress chemistry drives intense outburstsPhysical symptoms may appear (headaches, stomachaches, fatigue)Sleep patterns may shift, including difficulty falling asleepBehavior is communication. And when reactions seem like an elephant-sized response to an ant-sized problem, it's usually biology—not defiance.Real-Life Example: Your child loses it over the wrong snack. It's not about crackers. It's about a stress cup that's already overflowing from school pressure, social stress, poor sleep, and sensory overload.Are they doing this for attention—or do they need help?When kids are dysregulated, they're seeking safety, not attention.Big reactions are the nervous system saying: “I can't regulate alone.”Instead of harsher consequences, try:Containment before correctionLowering stimulation during trigger windowsCo-regulation (your calm spreads)

In this YAS Podcast episode, host AM Davies joins NatsHoney (president of Strippers United, vice president of YAS Work), Selena (writer and Strippers United wellness director), and filmmaker Julia to mark International Sex Workers' Rights Day and the international community release of their documentary short, For the Love of Strippers. They discuss the film's collaborative approach, why sex workers are often excluded from creative control in documentaries, and how limited funding shaped the project. The conversation covers pandemic-era organizing, SESTA/FOSTA, AB5, worsening club conditions that pushed Nats and Selena out of dancing, and the need to distinguish consensual sex work from trafficking narratives. They close with calls for visibility, community screenings, donations, and public advocacy against stigma.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the biggest financial transformations of our generation—a radical shift driven by the rise of AI and blockchain technology. Tom Bilyeu walks us through how the structure of markets is changing at lightning speed, creating both enormous financial opportunities and significant risks for those not paying attention. He breaks down the parallels between the current AI-driven financial revolution and the historic advent of high-frequency trading, revealing how new technologies are rewriting the rules and rendering traditional systems obsolete. You'll learn why crypto is more than just a speculative asset—it's rapidly becoming the essential infrastructure that AI agents need to participate in the new economy. Tom Bilyeu explains the two distinct waves of AI integration into financial systems, why old banking frameworks can't keep up, and what massive players like Stripe and Coinbase are doing to lead the charge. Most importantly, he'll show you what steps you can take right now to avoid being left behind—and instead, capitalize on this paradigm shift. Strap in for a thought-provoking journey through the future of commerce, where the dominant economic actors may soon be AI agents transacting at a scale we've never seen before.

Vacations are a normal part of modern life, yet most of us have never stopped to ask what they're really for. In this eighth installment of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore the surprising history behind vacations, from biblical festivals and pilgrimages to Roman leisure culture and modern travel. Along the way we ask whether something important has been lost. If God designed us for rhythms of work, rest, worship, and community, then vacations may be about more than simply getting away. We also discuss a few practical, Christian principles for resting well, traveling well, and finding moments of spiritual renewal (even in the middle of a family trip).

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the wild world of current events, where geopolitics, technology, and social media collide. From escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, alienated U.S. allies, and rumors swirling about Netanyahu's fate—to viral conspiracy theories fueled by AI and wartime propaganda spinning online. The conversation unpacks economic leverage in global conflicts, explores how media and misinformation are weaponized, and questions the blurry lines between journalism and activism. They also spotlight Cuba's historic decline under communism and what we can learn from nations like Singapore, alongside a story that brings optimism: a man using AI to create a custom cancer vaccine for his dog, showcasing just how rapidly technology is transforming medicine. Tom and Drew don't shy away from debating complex political ideology, the dangers and benefits of innovation, and the rapidly changing job landscape as AI continues to reshape society. This episode is a compelling mix of sharp analysis, high energy, and candid perspectives, challenging listeners to stay curious and engaged in a world where the truth is increasingly hard to pin down. 00:00 Intro 07:50 Iran's Leverage on Global Economy 14:07 Is Bibi Alive? 25:49 Tucker Carlson Investigation 34:14 Absence of Allies In The War 40:05 China Moves Military Around Taiwan 49:03 Cuba's Economic Collapse Explained 01:04:52 ChatGPT Miracle Cure 01:12:46 AI's Impact on Job Markets 01:17:48 Loyalty and Conditional Patriotism 01:20:38 "Monday Motivation and Updates" What's up, everybody?

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 3: Being Reconciled to Our Weakness. We talk about how our struggles with ourselves often spill over into our relationships with others and how learning to accept our own weakness can soften our hearts towards the weakness we see in those around us. We also reflect on the tension between accepting our littleness and desiring real conversion, how we become more aware of our imperfections as we draw closer to the Lord, and the gift of community in helping us clearly see our lives. This week, we invite you to receive God's love, extend that love to yourself, and then offer it freely to others.   Heather's One Thing - Attending the funeral of Francis Bergsma Sister Miriam's One Thing - Stations of the Cross with Our Sister St. Thérèse from Little Way Books Michelle's One Thing - The funness of our listeners!   Journal Questions: Where am I experiencing a lack of harmony in myself and in my relationships with others? Do I truly desire conversion? What parts of me are resistant to conversion? Where am I looking at the weaknesses of others instead of examining myself? When do I speak to myself with words of self-condemnation?   Discussion Questions: What weaknesses or defects are you wrestling with right now? How is God inviting you into deeper communion with Him in this weakness? How is the Lord inviting you to embrace littleness this Lent? Where is the Lord calling you to forgo constant management of your life and to embrace the mystery & trust of a life with Christ? How have you slowed down this Lent? How has this slower pace impacted your spiritual life?   Quotes to Ponder: "If we accept ourselves as we are, we also accept God's love for us. But if we reject ourselves, if we despise ourselves, we shut ourselves off from the love God has for us, we deny that love. If we accept ourselves in our weakness, our limitations, it will also be easier for us to accept other people. Often, quite simply, we can't get along with other people because we can't get along with ourselves." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 48-49)   "I am no longer surprised by anything, I am not sorry to see that I am weakness itself. On the contrary, I glory in it, and I expect to discover new imperfections in myself every day. (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)    Scripture for Lectio: "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6)   Timestamps: 00:00 Morning Star Studio 00:56 Intro 01:42 Welcome 03:58 Scripture Verse and Guiding Quote 04:45 Embracing Our Weaknesses First 9:00 Having a Real Desire for Conversion 13:55 Fearing Our Weakness 15:54 Desiring to be a Saint 18:55 Familial Living vs Transactional Living 22:21 One Things   Sponsor - Morning Star Studio: Morning Star Studio creates works that inspire prayer, deepen faith, and reflect the divine beauty that calls all hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus — through paintings, prints, and even billboard art on your local freeway.
