That quiet mental tally you keep? The one that says, “I've done bedtime three nights in a row” or “I handled the birthday party and the laundry and the grocery run”… that's called scorekeeping. And while it might feel totally justified, it's also slowly eroding the connection in your marriage.In this episode, I'm diving into where scorekeeping comes from, why it shows up so often after kids, and what it actually does to the trust and emotional safety in your relationship. Most importantly, I'll show you what to do instead so you can get more of what you need without falling into the resentment spiral.Tune in to discover:Why scorekeeping is a symptom of a deeper issue in your marriageHow keeping track of “who does what” quietly chips away at trustThe surprising ways scorekeeping damages emotional safety and intimacyWhat to do when it actually is unfair but you don't know how else to say itTools to shift from competition to connection (and get your needs met)FREE Marriage Shutdown Checklist: https://marriedafterkids.com/marriage-shutdown?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=links&utm_campaign=MSoptinConnect with me for a FREE Married After Kids Intervention Call: https://marriedafterkids.satoriapp.com/offers/277730-married-after-kids-intervention-callThe Us System: https://marriedafterkids.com/the-us-systemFollow me on Instagram so you don't miss a thing! www.instagram.com/marriedafterkids

Welcome to the Indo-Pacific State of Cyber Series with ISACA and sponsored by Vanta. We present the third session with the State of Trust – Critical to the success of every businessSpeakersJamie Norton - ISACA Board Member Jason Wood - Auckland Chapter former President Reshma Devi - Melbourne Chapter Board Member Evan Rowse – Vanta A copy of the VANTA report is available here https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vantaA copy of the ISACA report - State of Digital Trust 2024 is available here https://www.isaca.org/resources/reports/state-of-digital-trust-2024Trust is critical to the success of every business. But building, scaling and demonstrating trust is getting harder for Australian organisations. To meet customer expectations, security leaders and their teams must address complex threats, a growing compliance burden, and increasing risk from their third-party vendor footprint. The rapid adoption of AI technologies only adds to the challenge, requiring more oversight and governance.Vanta's second annual State of Trust Report uncovers key trends across these areas of security, compliance and the future of trust. Based on a survey of 2,500 IT and business leaders (with 500 of the respondents from Australia), our research found that more than half (58%) of Australian organisations say that security risks for their business have never been higher.More than 5,800 digital trust professionals shared their insights for ISACA's State of Digital Trust research and give their perspectives on:The top benefits of digital trustThe consequences of a lack of digital trustBiggest digital trust obstaclesAccountability for digital trustBudgetsMeasurementSPONSOR: Vanta's trust management platform takes the manual work out of your security and compliance process and replaces it with continuous automation—whether you're pursuing your first framework or managing a complex program.For more on the Security & Risk Professional Insight Series visit https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/security-amp-risk-professional-insight-series-2025/For more on IPRAAC – visit Indo-Pacific Robotics, Autonomy, AI and Cyber Conference 7-9 October 2025 – Perth, Western Australia - https://indopacificroboticsconference...For more information on our sponsor – VANTA – visit https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vanta#vanta #isaca #digitaltrust #mysecuritytv

What does it take to go from hustling on the streets of Elizabeth, NJ to sitting courtside at NBA games while running a successful sports betting business? Two words: discipline and belief.In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Julian Saavedra—founder of The Parlay Plug—for an unfiltered, emotional, and wildly inspiring look at how he turned his life around and built a business from the ground up.Julian opens up about dropping out of high school in his senior year, leaving home at 18 due to family tension, and falling into the street life just to survive. He shares stories of selling weed on the corner—across the street from a police station—trying to scrape together enough money to eat. But that life wasn't meant to last. With the encouragement of his mom and the desire to be something more, Julian walked away and started stacking up hours in restaurant jobs, bartending, and eventually grinding overnight shifts at Amazon.While working nights, he spent his days building The Parlay Plug—what started as a personal passion for sports betting turned into a full-on movement. Today, Julian leads a growing team, serves over 10,000 clients, and runs one of the most trusted betting communities on Discord. And it all came from consistency, research, and putting his ego aside to serve others.In this episode, Julian breaks down how he built The Parlay Plug without formal education, how he uses AI to research betting lines, why managing units is the key to long-term success, and how he deals with pressure when clients are counting on him to help them win.But we don't just talk business.Julian also shares how his relationship with his mom transformed, how he recently reconnected with his dad after 15 years, and why retiring his family is the mission that fuels him now. We get into the mental health side of entrepreneurship, the power of forgiveness, and how a little corgi named Parlay helped keep him grounded during it all.We cover:The origin story of The Parlay PlugWhat it's like to grow up without a father figureLife lessons from bartending, Amazon, and fast foodLeaving street life behind for something biggerUsing sports as therapy and focusBetting strategy, unit management, and client trustThe impact of AI in modern sports bettingNavigating criticism and emotional clientsRelationship goals with his ride-or-die fiancée JackieThe importance of staying grounded—even with money and successAnd why betting on yourself is always the moveJulian's journey is a reminder that you can come from chaos and still build something beautiful. You don't need a degree to succeed—you need consistency, hustle, and a reason to keep going.If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like your past defines you—this episode will snap you out of that mindset real quick.Quotes from the episode:“All this could be gone tomorrow. The only thing that matters is family, purpose, and how you treat people.”“I work hard so my fiancée doesn't have to work. But my goal is bigger—I want to retire my mom.”“You can lose four days in a row. But one good day can flip the whole month around. That's betting—and life.”“A lot of people want success. But they don't want to be consistent. And that's where most people fall off.”Whether you're deep in the betting game, building your own creative brand, or just trying to find your way—Julian's story is gonna hit you. It's real, it's raw, and it's exactly the kind of thing this podcast is all about. Follow Julian: @theparlayplug
