Turning our will and our lives over to God is never easy. But it’s always good. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and guided prayer rooted in the wisdom of the 12 steps. Step Three says: “We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.” Step One reminded us: I can’t.Step Two gave us hope: God can.And Step Three invites us to surrender: I think I’ll let Him. Today’s meditation is from Jeremiah 17:5–8. This poetic passage paints a vivid picture of what happens when we rely on our own strength versus when we place our hope and confidence in the Lord. One life ends up like a stunted shrub in the desert. The other is like a flourishing tree with roots reaching deep into the river. Through guided reflection, you’ll be invited to notice where you’re relying on yourself, and where God is asking you to trust Him more fully. Then you’ll rest in the truth that God wants you to be like that tree — deeply rooted, resilient through hard seasons, and bearing fruit that blesses others. Take a few deep breaths, settle in, and let’s meditate together.

Meditation Scripture: Jeremiah 17:5–8 (NLT) 5 This is what the LORD says:“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,who rely on human strengthand turn their hearts away from the LORD.6 They are like stunted shrubs in the desert,with no hope for the future.They will live in the barren wilderness,in an uninhabited salty land.7 “But blessed are those who trust in the LORDand have made the LORD their hope and confidence.8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,with roots that reach deep into the water.Such trees are not bothered by the heator worried by long months of drought.Their leaves stay green,and they never stop producing fruit.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Conflict is often seen as something to fear—something disruptive, divisive, and best avoided. But what if we've misunderstood its true nature? What if, instead of being a problem, conflict is an invitation—an opening to deeper understanding, connection, and transformation?   In this episode, your host, Cindy Watson sits down with Ursula Taylor to explore a transformative approach to one of the most misunderstood dynamics in human interaction—conflict. Together, they'll be reimagining conflict not as something to avoid or suppress, but as a powerful opportunity for connection, growth, and transformation. Ursula Taylor believes exactly that. As a former litigator turned conflict resolution consultant, she has come to see that the root of most disputes isn't found in facts, laws, or arguments—but in human emotion. And when we learn to address that core truth, everything changes.   This conversation is a call to rethink everything we thought we knew about conflict. To stop managing it—and start reimagining it.   Key takeaways:   What is the driving force that keeps us in a protracted dispute or tension point? Definition of conflict and the common misconception about it. In what ways do traditional conflict resolution methods differ from a more empathetic and feminine approach? The role empathy plays in conflict. Internal and external strategies How to distinguish between healthy boundaries versus avoidance in conflict. And many more!   Learn more about Ursula:   Website: https://conflictreimagined.com/ LinkedIn: Ursula Taylor   If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.

Florida Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) joined Alan Skorski for a hard-hitting interview on the current war against Hamas, the rise of global antisemitism, and the dangers posed by unchecked radical Islam. The discussion opened with Israel's recent targeted strike in Qatar that eliminated top Hamas leaders, followed by the brutal terrorist attack in Jerusalem carried out by two Arab terrorists from Ramallah, which left six civilians murdered and many more wounded. Skorski placed these events in the broader context of what he described as the “greatest wave of Palestinianist and Islamist-inspired antisemitism since the 1930s in Germany.” Citing reports from MEMRI, Rep. Fine declared bluntly: “Mainstream Islam hates America and hates Jews.” He accused Western leaders of ignoring the radical Muslim threat, warning that the same mistakes which devastated Europe are now being repeated in America. “Europe has warmly welcomed Muslim terrorists to move to their countries,” he said. “They have ‘no-go zones,' and in Britain, you can get arrested for criticizing Islam.” Fine pointed to Islamist activists' own words that their goal is to migrate to the West, outbreed the local population, and take over societies from within. “These are not my words,” he emphasized. “These are their words.” Turning to Israel, Fine dismissed accusations that Israel is causing “starvation” in Gaza as nothing more than blood libels. “It was never Israel's responsibility to feed, clothe, and babysit Gazans,” he argued, noting that most Gazans openly support Hamas. “If they want the suffering to end, they should pressure Hamas to release the hostages. It's that simple.” Drawing a historical parallel, Fine reminded listeners that the United States did not negotiate with Japanese civilians during WWII. “America did what it had to do, including dropping two nuclear bombs to end the war. Israel should do whatever it takes to win.” The conversation also touched on the disturbing infiltration of extremist Muslims into the U.S. health care system. Skorski and Fine highlighted cases of Muslim medical professionals openly calling for violence against Jews—including a Florida dentist who lost his license after Fine took action. On the issue of antisemitism on college campuses, Fine reiterated his commitment to holding university presidents accountable for tolerating antisemitic professors and student groups. “University leaders who turn a blind eye to Jew-hatred must be forced to act—or be removed.” Throughout the interview, Congressman Fine's message was clear: radical Islam poses a direct threat to America, Europe, and Israel alike, and the refusal of political leaders to confront it only fuels its spread. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 15SEP2025 - PODCAST

In Colossians 1:3–14, Paul prays with thanksgiving, showing us that prayer is our first response to what God is doing in others. Prayer not only lifts our needs before the Lord, it stirs thanksgiving within us and strengthens faith, love, and hope. Paul's pattern teaches us to pray for fellow believers: that they would grow in wisdom, walk worthy of the Lord, and wait with patience and joy.

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill sat down with Richard Matoian, former president of American Pistachio Growers and now co-operator of Matoian Brothers Farming in Easton. With decades of experience in both commodity leadership and hands-on farming, Matoian offered a unique perspective on the intersection of policy, trade, and day-to-day agricultural realities. Trade Deals and Tariffs Nick and Josh opened the show with news that Japan has agreed to a new trade deal with the United States, including a 15% baseline tariff on imports and a commitment to expand rice purchases by 75%. Matoian tied this directly to the pistachio industry, stressing that tariffs aren't about punishing trade partners but about achieving a level playing field. He recalled that for years U.S. commodities faced hidden tariff barriers abroad, and said the Trump administration's efforts have forced many to confront those inequities. Regulatory Burdens and Water Policy Matoian reflected on how California's regulatory environment has shifted over the decades, calling it “death by a thousand cuts.” New rules, from water restrictions to pesticide reporting mandates, add layers of difficulty for growers already facing razor-thin margins. He warned that transparency rules like public “spray day” postings could even bring protesters into the fields, creating safety risks for workers and growers alike. Water, as always, remained central to the conversation. Despite historic rains, he noted that state policy has left much of the resource untapped, pushing more farmers into groundwater reliance and leaving thousands of acres fallowed. “People just don't understand what it takes to put food on the table,” Matoian said. Pistachios, Raisins, and Grapes Matoian detailed how pistachio growers secured an anti-dumping tariff against Iran in the 1980s, a move that protected the U.S. industry and helped it grow into a global powerhouse. He suggested other commodities may need to explore similar tools as imports continue to challenge California products like raisins and tomatoes. Turning to his own farm, Matoian discussed 90 acres of table grapes and 40 acres of pistachios, noting that table grapes remain especially labor-intensive. With about 65 workers in the fields at harvest, he stressed that automation is limited when presentation and precision matter most. Looking Ahead Matoian advised young farmers to find a niche—whether in crop choice, marketing, or management—if they want to succeed in today's competitive climate. “If you're the grower that has always been, you're going to struggle,” he said.

The 5 Spiritual Cycles That Keep You Stuck in Fitness (And How to Break Them With God's Word)Are you a woman over 40 trying to get healthier, stronger, and more confident in your body—but feel stuck no matter how hard you try? You're not alone. Often, the roadblocks to fitness aren't just physical—they're spiritual cycles that keep us in loops of shame, fear, and frustration.In today's episode, we break down 5 spiritual cycles that can keep you from seeing real results, and I share practical steps you can take to break free with God's Word.Pattern: “I blew my diet again. I'll never get this right.” → Quit → Start over.Scripture: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)Practical Step: When you mess up, replace self-attack with confession + reset. Write: “I failed today, but I'm not a failure. I begin again in grace.”Shame keeps us trapped in self-sabotage. Remember, God's grace allows you to start fresh each day.Pattern: Stress → Food/Couch → Regret → Repeat.Scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)Practical Step: Pause before reaching for comfort food. Pray a quick 20-second prayer: “Lord, be my portion right now.”Turning to food or habits for comfort is normal—but your ultimate comfort and satisfaction comes from God.Pattern: Obsessing over calories/results → Fear of slipping → Burnout.Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)Practical Step: Release control daily. Start workouts with: “I train from love, not for love.”Fitness isn't about perfection—it's about trust and consistency, not fear.Pattern: “This is just who I am” → Low belief → Half effort → Stuck.Scripture: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)Practical Step: Make an “I Am in Christ” list and read it before workouts. Let your true identity fuel your actions.Your results follow your beliefs about who you really are in Christ.Pattern: Emotional heaviness → No energy → Numb out with food or inactivity.Scripture: “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)Practical Step: Write down one name (even your own) and pray blessing over them before meals or workouts. Release the weight in your spirit so your body can follow.Bitterness and unforgiveness weigh down the soul—and the body follows suit.Fitness isn't just physical—it's spiritual too. When you break these cycles, you're not just losing pounds; you're releasing spiritual baggage that has been weighing you down.Faith + Fitness Skool Community:We help women 40+ get stronger in their walk with Christ and drop pounds.

From her breakout role on Desperate Housewives to thriving today as an actor, director, producer, and entrepreneur, Eva Longoria has one of the most multifaceted careers in Hollywood. In this conversation from March 2025, Longoria opens up to Willie Geist about how her childhood in Texas shaped her journey, her perspective on fame, family, and longevity in Hollywood at 50, and her starring role in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip. She also talks about her work behind the camera and building her tequila brand, Casa Del Sol. 

When Holly Grey first examined Horizon3.ai, she saw more than a cybersecurity startup. She saw a technology that could change the way companies safeguard themselves. Traditional pen tests, she tells us, are human-driven, vary widely by auditor, and usually happen just once a year. Horizon3.ai, by contrast, “started out as a technology alternative to pen testing.” Its platform can be deployed “within minutes, not hours or weeks or months,” Grey tells us, and has already executed “over 100,000 pen tests.”The system identifies exposures, connects them to known threat actors, and—most critically—prioritizes which vulnerabilities to fix. It integrates directly with tools like Jira, creates tickets, and confirms results after remediation. “Even as a CFO, I want to know we're not exposed,” Grey explains. That value proposition has already attracted more than 4,000 customers, she tells us.Her decision to join Horizon3.ai was equally deliberate. Grey noticed two respected colleagues had recently come aboard, including the CRO. That relationship, she says, is vital: “I need to know that I can trust that CRO implicitly.” After doing her own diligence, Grey was convinced of the company's momentum: “It's hard to grow over 100% year over year, and do that multiple years, without having product market fit.”The timing was fortuitous. Just as the company raised $100 million in Series D funding, its VP of Finance resigned. Horizon3.ai was ready to appoint its first CFO. “Here I am,” Grey tells us, “and I could not be happier in terms of joining.”

From dominating her East Texas golf course community to building one of the most agent-centric offices in the business, Cindi reveals the strategies that have made her business recession-proof. They dive into why true success isn't about transactions—it's about relationships. From moving trucks and margarita Fridays to 8:30 a.m. accountability calls and Working Genius assessments, Cindi has built a culture where clients feel loved, agents feel supported, and business continues to thrive no matter the market. This is a masterclass in creating connection, leading with authenticity, and building a business that fuels both profits and fulfillment. What You'll Learn in This Episode Building Client Communities That Last Why embedding yourself in a neighborhood makes your business recession-proof How events, moving trucks, and small touches create lifelong clients Turning past clients into friends—and friends into repeat customers Leading Through Agent-Centric Culture How Cindi designed her office to feel like a coffee shop, not a brokerage The role of Working Genius in aligning agents with their strengths Why daily 8:30 Zoom huddles are non-negotiable for accountability The Power of Events & Experiences From golf tournaments to Christmas parties: why shared experiences fuel referrals Why spending on food and hospitality beats spending on funnels How to gamify agent production with challenges and competitions Mindset & Long-Term Growth Why chasing listings (not buyers) creates leverage The danger of “backup plans” in real estate success Why the best leaders never stop showing up for their people Resources & Mentions Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni – Framework for leadership and team alignment HoneyBadgerNation.com – Coaching, training, and community for growth-minded agents Cindi's Nonprofit: Wags – Supporting rescue animals through fundraising John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Community is the ultimate competitive advantage.

We explore the rapid advancements occurring outside of the crypto space, particularly in AI and robotics, and consider how a robotic revolution could shape society. Innovation seems to be accelerating across fields like AI, robotics, and quantum computing, making it increasingly difficult to keep up. Turning the focus back to the crypto world, we reflect on how the current market doesn't mirror this same momentum. With market sentiment at all-time lows, largely due to memecoin saturation and growing awareness of insider manipulation, we discuss potential solutions for emerging from this slump. Among the more promising developments is $NAT, a fundamentally sound asset that we believe points the way forward for the crypto market. Through the lens of Digital Matter Theory, $NAT introduces groundbreaking concepts that bring real substance to the crypto space by utilizing Bitcoin's properties in the digital asset creation process. In the coming weeks, $NAT will fulfill its ultimate goal: to become Bitcoin's second official subsidy reward token, setting the stage for a multi-billion dollar market cap. We believe that as awareness of $NAT spreads, it will reinvigorate the community with a renewed sense of purpose—something the market desperately needs right now. Topics: First up, explore the rapid advancements occurring outside of the crypto space, particularly in AI and robotics, and consider how a robotic revolution could shape society.

Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with TEDx speaker, author, and creative strategist Paul Pape, also known as Santa for Nerds. Together, they explore how creatives can stop forcing themselves into the corporate mold and instead build businesses that feel natural, joyful, and profitable. Paul shares his Gamify Business approach, showing how to use game mechanics—like character sheets, quests, and teamwork—to transform the business side of creativity from a burden into an adventure. Listeners will discover why traditional business education often harms creative mental health, how to embrace their unique strengths, and why finding just 100 true fans can build lasting success. About the Guest   Paul Pape is a TEDx speaker, author of The Creative Player's Handbook to Business, and founder of Gamify Business. With over 20 years of experience working with Disney, Universal, Nickelodeon, and his own thriving design studio, Paul helps creatives shift from the “starving artist” mindset to building businesses that align with how they actually think and create. Known as Santa for Nerds, Paul brings a fun, game-based approach to serious business challenges. Key Takeaways   Traditional business rules often stifle creativity; success comes from rewriting the rules for your own path. Gamifying business with role-playing concepts (character sheets, quests, teamwork) makes entrepreneurship less stressful and more motivating. A “character sheet” exercise helps creatives see their strengths and weaknesses clearly, without judgment.

Restaurant owners and managers: want more profitable menus and a stronger culture? In this episode, the crew digs into a simple, powerful idea—moving frontline ideas from the break room to the boardroom. Anthony shares how a young dishwasher created a signature chicken-tender sauce (thanks to a happy smoked paprika mistake) that became a hit with guests. We also spotlight fryer safety, dirty oil's hidden costs, and how better oil management lifts food quality, reduces risk, and saves money. Brought to you by Halcyon Eco a device that helps clean fryer oil, clean the fryer, and improve BOH safety and consistency. Key Topics & Takeaways Break Room → Boardroom: Practical ways to capture frontline ideas without losing leadership control. From Ego to Outcome: Why operator wisdom should filter team ideas—not block them. Signature Sauce Story: How empowering a dishwasher produced a better sauce than the chef expected—no edits needed. The Power of “Beautiful Mistakes”: An accidental switch to smoked paprika created deeper flavor and brand-worthy differentiation. Structured Ideation That Works: Breakout groups, best-known-way (BKW) mindset, and leader-as-facilitator—not bulldozer. Handling “Bad” Ideas With EQ: Keep people intact while you refine or redirect suggestions. Oil Quality = Food Quality: The real costs of dirty fryer oil—from safety hazards to guest experience and higher spend. Fryer Safety Reality Check: The fryer is the single most dangerous piece of kitchen equipment; treat it like it. Halcyon Eco Spotlight: How automated oil care can improve food quality, reduce risk, and save on labor and oil. Culture & Retention: Involving staff in menu decisions builds loyalty, pride, and performance. Memorable Quotes (Pull Quotes) “Use your wisdom as a filter, not a gate, for frontline ideas.” “A beautiful mistake turned a good sauce into a great one.” “The fryer is your kitchen workhorse, and the most dangerous piece of equipment.” “Inclusivity turns employees into stakeholders.” Action Steps for Operators Create an idea pipeline (quarterly breakouts by station; leader facilitates, team presents). Adopt a Best Known Way (BKW) mindset—document the current best, stay open to better. Pilot staff ideas on one item/week; measure guest feedback and ticket time impact. Audit fryer safety weekly; assign ownership; fix ignition/thermostat issues immediately. Track oil quality KPIs (color/TPM, change frequency, food color/texture, guest comps/returns). Resources Mentioned Halcyon Eco – for oil filtration, fryer cleaning, and BOH safety improvements. Unreasonable Hospitality - Will Guidara – culture and guest-experience playbook.

In this candid episode, host Ned Schaut sits down with author and speaker Eric Rogell to confront the trap many fathers fall into—trying to be the “nice guy” who's always liked instead of the man who leads with courage and conviction. Eric shares why advice often misses the mark, and why children need fathers who live out wisdom through the Sacred Seven Core Values: courage, honesty, integrity, commitment, duty, honor, and love. From fatherhood and step-parenting to manhood at “Level 60,” Eric unpacks how dropping the need for approval allows dads to guide their kids with strength, presence, and authenticity. This conversation challenges men to stop chasing validation, embrace their role as mentors, and build a legacy rooted in love and honor.Chapters:00:00:00 – Welcome to Fatherhood Field Notes Podcast00:01:19 – Meet Eric00:03:25 – Late 50s accomplishments: writing a book, producing a documentary00:04:24 – Turning point through meditation and taking command of life00:06:16 – No plans to retire from purposeful work00:07:28 – Untapped wisdom in older, retired men00:08:29 – Difference between advice (head) and wisdom (heart)00:09:47 – Using “wisdom, not advice” by sharing stories and mistakes00:14:25 – Value of letting kids make mistakes: “prepare the child for the road”00:16:35 – Creating healthy challenges, like running an excavator00:18:44 – The Sacred Seven Core Values: Courage, Honesty, Integrity, Commitment, Duty, Honor, Love00:22:26 – The “King and Kingdom” principle: care for yourself to care for family00:25:42 – Navy SEAL lesson on why most commitments fail after five days00:28:10 – Advice for men in the stepfather role00:28:34 –Don't try to be liked; earn respect00:31:25 – Three Lights of Leadership: Friend, Guide, Guardian00:38:14 – What will your kids think of you at 60?00:38:58 – Complex relationship with father: once seen as villain, later as hero00:42:16 – Discovering father's generosity through stories after his passing00:43:37 – Importance of a father's attention, not just time00:46:28 – It's okay to be the “villain” when acting as guardianGuest Link:Lions Raised as Lambs WebsiteEric's WebsiteEric on InstagramLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Kirill Kaprisov's contract situation in Minnesota, Mattias Ekholm wanting an extension, Oilers rookie camp, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Kirill Kaprisov situation in Minnesota is affecting the Connor McDavid negotiations. According to reports, Kaprisov turned down a $16 million, eight-year contract, which led to speculation about whether this decision is delaying McDavid's extension signing in Edmonton. That conversation led to another round of the boys talking about whether they're starting to get nervous about the captain taking his time.Turning the podcast to tonight's rookie game between the Oilers and Flames, the guys walked through some of the prospects everyone is most excited to watch. While all eyes will be on Matt Savoie and Ike Howard, there are other prospects worth following throughout the weekend, as they work their way into professional hockey. The guys also shared their thoughts on the leaked alternate jerseys that hit the web this past week, and brought in a bunch of people from the office to provide their takes as well. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With just under a month to wait until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's what happens before training camps kick off.
