Podcasts about Uniqueness

In this episode, I share what happened when I gave myself space to feel after an intense Aries full moon. I put on classical piano music and let my body lead. I danced, lay starfished on the cool floor, cried, laughed from my belly and danced again. In that space I met little Anna, the girl who loved putting on shows and recording songs on her red cassette player. She grew up mostly with structured, regimented activities like classical piano and hockey, and dance has always been where I feel free and wholly myself.That weekend led me straight back to parenting. I talk about how holding our children's uniqueness starts with holding our own. I explain my move away from both authoritarian and passive parenting towards an authoritative approach. That means being clear about what I'm available for and what I'm not, so my children can feel where the edges are and still flourish as themselves. I also talk about subconscious identities, nervous system work, using fewer words when emotions run high, and building our capacity to simply be with big feelings, both theirs and ours. Our children can be a little map showing us where to tend to ourselves next.I also share details of my new six-week online course, The Language of Connection, starting on 20th October.

If you removed your clinic's name and logo from your job ad, would your own team recognise themselves—or could the same words belong to almost any vet clinic?Vets and nurses want to understand what it would feel like to spend their working week with your people. Phrases such as “close-knit team” and “supportive and collaborative environment” don't give them that answer.

‘The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.'—John 1:14

Thought leaders have thinking time. There is a difference between remembering and thinking. Thinking is that time when you mull through all your thoughts and plans. Maybe you merge them to find a solution to a problem or see where one decision could benefit your family or home. A visionary, a thought leader takes time to think to better plan the trajectory of their organization even if it's just for their home. Mission Vision Values In 2012, after I'd been in business for 5 years, I took advantage of a 5 hour flight to CA and the returning flight to think.  It was on those plane rides that I solidified Organize 365®'s mission statement which is: Organize 365® helps you get functionally organized in one calendar year so that you can do what you are uniquely gifted and created to do.  Then I identified our values being positivity, abundance, proactivity, and that everything is easier in community.   The old theory was that it took 10,000 hours to become an expert at something.  And if we use a 40 hour work week, it takes roughly 5 years to accomplish said 10,000 hours. And I've observed that, generally speaking, every 5 year cycle we use our experiences and lessons learned and apply them to our lives. When I wrote "Escaping Quicksand", I shared all of my lived experiences to help others escape their own quicksand with the lesson and mindset shifts I've made along the way. Ain't Nobody Got Time to Think In your 20's and 30's you are so busy doing that you never really take time to stop and think. Then you hit 40 and life has gotten away from you. You put your foot down and decide to simplify life and start saying no to stuff. No to projects you don't have time for, no to people that are energy vampires, no to requests on your time. And in my 40's is when I took my life back. I wrote all about it in "Organization is a Learnable Skill". I shared all of the emotions I was going through at the time. I needed thinking time. But first I had to get my house in order.  When All Is Accounted for I Can Think I started with the Sunday Basket®. A safe place to store all my thoughts till Sunday or till life demanded I addressed them.  I hate admin work just as much as the next. But it has to get done so I can keep my car and the lights on in my house, ya know? And the Sunday Basket® helps me to exhibit delayed neglect of requests. Often, the request will take care of itself or the circumstances have changed so the request has changed. And each minute before completion of whatever the task is, is more time to think about the answer and listen to my intuition. So why do we resist the Sunday Basket®?  You may say the Sunday Basket® is too regimented or like another thing you have to do. And I hear you BUT, I'd rather have time set aside to do those things once a week than those piddly tasks taking up any of my project time or thinking time. Because I don't like that even more! So the Sunday Basket® holds everything safely for me and gives my brain peace so I can think. I know everything is completed or accounted for due to the Sunday Basket® and now I can think expansively. I love my time with me. No input from family or my team, just me, myself, and I… thinking.   EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Escaping Quicksand Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

What if getting older doesn't have to mean losing your memory? Learn how neuroplasticity, healthy habits, and simple memory exercises can help keep your brain strong at any age.Summary: We often assume that getting older means our memory and brain function will inevitably decline—but emerging science tells a more hopeful story. On this episode of The Science of Happiness, we'll explore how neuroplasticity, along with practices like memory exercises, stress reduction, sleep, exercise, and finding a sense of purpose, can support brain health as we age. How to Remember Where You Parked: Pause before you walk away: Take a moment to look at your car and notice your surroundings. Identify your location: Pay attention to the floor, row, section, level, or nearby landmarks. Create a funny image: Turn the location into a memorable mental picture. For example, if you're parked in section 4B, imagine four bears sitting inside your car. Make it vivid: The sillier, stranger, or more ridiculous the image, the better. Let yourself have fun with it. Take a mental snapshot: As you walk away, look back at your car and surroundings and imagine the funny scene there. Use the image to find your car: When it's time to leave, bring the funny image back to mind and use it to recall your section, floor, or location.

Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once wrote, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.” Every parent hopes the resources they leave behind will bless their children. But a financial inheritance can have very different effects depending on the person receiving it. That is why wise wealth transfer requires more than simply deciding how much to leave—it requires careful thought, prayer, and an understanding of each child's unique circumstances. Ron Blue, co-founder of Kingdom Advisors and longtime teacher on biblical stewardship, calls this the uniqueness principle. Equal Love Doesn't Always Require Equal Treatment Studies show that many parents divide their estates equally among their children. There is certainly nothing wrong with that approach, but Ron encourages parents not to make equality the automatic default. As he explains, God loves each of His children equally, but He often treats them uniquely. The same can be true within a family. Children may grow up in the same home and sit around the same dinner table, yet adulthood can take them in very different directions. They may marry differently, parent differently, pursue different careers, experience job losses, accumulate different levels of wealth, or develop very different approaches to money. Those differences can matter when determining how an inheritance should be passed down. The question is not simply, “How can I divide everything evenly?” A better question may be, “How can I steward these resources in a way that truly benefits each child?” Three Questions to Ask Before Leaving an Inheritance When Ron and his wife, Judy, began thinking seriously about their own estate plan, they used three questions to evaluate what an inheritance might mean for each of their five children. 1. What is the worst thing that could happen? Imagine giving a particular amount of money to a particular child. How could that money negatively affect his or her life? For one child, the concern may be minimal. The money might simply be given away. For another, however, a large inheritance could create tension within a marriage, reinforce unhealthy financial habits, reduce motivation to work, or create other unintended consequences. 2. How serious would that outcome be? Not every negative possibility carries the same weight. Some may be inconvenient but manageable. Others could damage relationships, character, or financial stability. Parents should carefully consider the seriousness of each potential consequence. 3. How likely is it to happen? Finally, consider probability. A possible problem is different from a probable one. Together, these questions provide a framework for thinking beyond percentages and dollar amounts to the actual impact an inheritance could have. Your Estate Plan Should Change as Life Changes Another important part of the uniqueness principle is recognizing that circumstances rarely remain the same. When Ron and Judy first began asking these questions decades ago, their children were at very different stages of life than they are today. Careers changed. Marriages developed. Families grew. Financial circumstances shifted. As a result, Ron says the answers they would give today are very different from the answers they would have given 25 years ago. That is an important reminder: An estate plan should not necessarily be a one-time decision. As circumstances change, parents may need to revisit both their assumptions and their plans. Don't Pass Wealth Without Passing Wisdom Underlying Ron's approach is one of his most important principles: Don't pass wealth unless you pass wisdom. Wealth does not automatically produce wisdom. In fact, money can magnify whatever attitudes and habits already exist. Wisdom, however, can help someone steward wealth faithfully—and even create additional resources through diligence, generosity, patience, and wise decision-making. That means preparing the next generation involves far more than preparing legal documents. Parents can begin transferring wisdom long before they transfer wealth by talking openly about stewardship, generosity, work, contentment, financial decision-making, and God's ownership of everything. The greatest inheritance may not be the money children eventually receive, but the biblical principles they learned while their parents were still living. Faithfulness Matters More Than Fairness The uniqueness principle does not mean every estate should be divided differently. After thoughtful consideration, parents may still conclude that an equal distribution is the wisest choice. The point is not that equal is wrong or unequal is better. The point is to avoid allowing cultural expectations, guilt, fear of conflict, or simple habit to make the decision for you. Instead, approach wealth transfer prayerfully and deliberately. Ask what each child's circumstances are. Consider what opportunities or challenges an inheritance might create. Think carefully about the consequences. Revisit those decisions as life changes. Ultimately, wealth transfer is an act of stewardship. The resources we leave behind still belong to God, and our responsibility is to manage them according to His wisdom rather than merely following human expectations. Before asking, “How can I make everything equal?” consider asking a deeper question: “What would faithfulness look like for each person God has entrusted to my care?” On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 60, own two rental properties outright, rent an apartment in Chicago for $2,100 a month, and have about $1.4 million in savings and investments. My rental income is seasonal, but I haven't had to draw from my portfolio yet. Is continuing to rent in Chicago financially reasonable, and is $1.4 million likely enough to support me long term? My wife and I are buying a new home and have about 60% of the purchase price in cash. We need the remaining 40% for only 60 to 90 days until our current paid-off home sells. Would a HELOC, bridge loan, or another short-term financing option make the most sense? Our 22-year-old daughter lives at home and has very few expenses or responsibilities. Would it be biblical and wise to start charging her rent, and how should we determine a fair amount?

Guided Question Do I truly know Jesus and experience His presence in my life, or am I simply trying to live by Christian rules without experiencing the new birth He came to give? Summary This episode explores Matthew 1:18–25 and the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. Dr. Robert Lewis emphasizes that Jesus' birth is unique not simply because a baby was born, but because God Himself entered humanity. Matthew presents Jesus as both the Son of David, with a legitimate claim to the throne, and the divine Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit. The story begins with Mary and Joseph, whose response to God's extraordinary plan demonstrates remarkable submission. Mary does not understand how God's promise will be fulfilled, yet she responds, “Be it done to me according to thy word.” Joseph likewise obeys God despite the personal shame and potential consequences of taking Mary as his wife. Their lives demonstrate that God's greatest works are often entrusted to people who are humble and willing to submit to His truth. Dr. Lewis then emphasizes the importance of believing the virgin birth as a literal work of the Holy Spirit. He argues that Christianity cannot be separated from biblical revelation: religion without revelation leaves people with nothing more than subjective beliefs and human imagination. The sermon then turns to the name Emmanuel—“God with us.” Jesus did not merely come to point people toward God or give them a better moral code. He came to make a relationship with God possible. He is not merely a teacher of truth; He is the truth, and He calls people not simply to follow His teachings but to receive Him. Finally, Dr. Lewis explains that the birth of Jesus points toward an even greater miracle: the new birth. Jesus was born so that people could be spiritually reborn. Christianity is therefore not merely about keeping rules, attending church, or proving ourselves worthy before God. It is about receiving Christ, being forgiven of sin, and experiencing His presence within us. The message closes with a personal invitation to respond to Christ. Just as Mary and Joseph submitted themselves to God's Word without fully understanding what He was doing, listeners are challenged to surrender themselves to Christ, receive Him, and experience the new life He came to give. Outline 1. The Uniqueness of Jesus' Birth Matthew introduces Jesus' birth as an extraordinary beginning. Jesus is both the Son of David and the divine Son of God. His conception by the Holy Spirit makes His birth unlike any other. 2. Mary and Joseph: Submission to God Mary faces an impossible and potentially shameful situation. She responds with trust and submission to God's Word. Joseph obeys despite the personal cost and public consequences. Their humility makes them examples of responsive faith. 3. The Virgin Birth and Biblical Revelation Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The virgin birth is presented as a foundational truth of Christianity. Faith must be grounded in God's revelation rather than personal preference or imagination. 4. Jesus Came to Save from Sin Israel expected the Messiah to deliver them from Roman oppression. Jesus came to address the deeper problem: humanity's bondage to sin. True deliverance begins when we stop focusing on everyone else's problems and allow Christ to deal with our own sin. 5. Emmanuel: God With Us Isaiah's prophecy points forward to Jesus. Jesus is the greater fulfillment of “Emmanuel.” He does not merely point the way to God—He makes relationship with God possible. 6. The Greater Miracle: The New Birth Jesus' birth prepares the way for our spiritual rebirth. Christianity is more than morality, religious activity, or following rules. We must receive Christ and experience His indwelling presence. Jesus was born so that we might be born again. Key Takeaways God works through humble people who are willing to submit to His Word. Faith does not require us to understand everything before we obey. Jesus came to deliver us from sin, not merely from difficult circumstances. Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us. Christianity is about a relationship with Christ, not merely religious rules or moral behavior. The miracle of Jesus' birth points to the greater miracle of the new birth. Receiving Christ means surrendering ourselves to Him and trusting His promise to transform our lives. Scripture References Matthew 1:18–25 — Jesus is conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to Mary. Luke 1:26–38 — Mary receives God's announcement and submits to His Word. Isaiah 7:10–16 — The sign of Emmanuel points to a greater future fulfillment. Philippians 2:5–8 — Christ humbles Himself and takes on human form. Hebrews 1:1–3 — God speaks fully through His Son. John 3:1–8 — Jesus teaches the necessity of being born again. Matthew 1:21 — Jesus comes to save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:23 — Jesus is Emmanuel, “God with us.” Recorded 12.19.82

Our differences were never meant to divide us. In this message, we explore how Jesus calls us to move beyond favoritism, comparison, and self-interest and instead receive one another as gifts. When we are united in Christ, our uniqueness becomes something to celebrate.⁠

Bob and Dave have their weekly conversation with Jon Morosi to get his thoughts on the confounding uniqueness of this Mariners team, what their soft September schedule means for their path to the playoffs, what the future holds for Randy Arozarena, and what Julio accomplished in his first five seasons, they continue their ranking of the most important Seahawks for the 2026 season, and they bring you the latest on Colt Emerson’s lingering wrist injury. 

In Joshua 5, God told Moses to circumcise all the males of Israel. This was to be done while Israel was in the midst of fighting battles and possessing land. It seemed the worse time, but God knew it was the right time, for circumcision was more than a physical transformation. It was spiritual. Tune in as we learn about our identity in Christ as a piacular and unique people.***Welcome, we are so glad you have joined us for our church online!

What does Biblical spiritual warfare actually look like when you move beyond the clichés and start examining authority, covenants, trauma, confession, demonic oppression, and the spiritual realm?In Part 2 of this Spiritual Warfare conversation, Nephilim Death Squad is joined again by Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason and John Lenhart of Modeling God to explore advanced spiritual warfare through a Biblical lens. The discussion begins by revisiting the idea that spiritual warfare involves words spoken with authority, understanding how the enemy exploits personal weaknesses, and recognizing the role of familiar spirits, spiritual deception, and personal sovereignty.The conversation examines séances, familiar spirits, alleged past-life memories, reincarnation claims, and the Seven Sons of Sceva, asking why simply saying the name of Jesus is different from actually operating under the authority of Christ.From there, the episode moves into generational curses, generational trauma, MKUltra claims, childhood programming, synaptic pruning, and spiritual principalities. Ed and John discuss the concept of territorial spiritual powers, the B'nai Elohim, and Daniel 7's heavenly courtroom imagery as it relates to covenants and spiritual authority.A major portion of the conversation focuses on Biblical confession, repentance, forgiveness, emotional healing, and repairing relationships. Is simply saying “I'm sorry” enough? What does true confession require, and why does Christian community matter when someone is trying to overcome trauma, addiction, destructive habits, or spiritual oppression?The discussion also challenges modern ideas about church, individuality, medication, mental health, community, and discipleship before turning to practical topics including addiction, the unconscious mind, the demon called Legion, prayer and fasting, hearing the Holy Spirit, Luke 16, mammon, money, and unrighteous wealth.Finally, the conversation explores Jesus' command to make disciples, the purpose of generative Christian community, the New Jerusalem, and what defeating the enemy ultimately looks like through fulfilling God's will.What part of this spiritual warfare framework do you agree or disagree with?

Stepping Away From Terminal Uniqueness One of the easiest ways to stay stuck in recovery is to believe that nobody really understands us, that our situation is somehow different, or that the things that help other alcoholics will not work for us. Today we'll talk about “terminal uniqueness” and how isolation, pride, self-pity, and the belief that we are different can keep us separated from the very people and principles that can help us. Recovery begins to change when we stop asking, “What makes me different?” and start asking, “What do I have in common with the people who found a way out?” #TheDailyTrudge #TerminalUniqueness #AlcoholicsAnonymous #AARecovery #Recovery #Sobriety #Identification #Connection #BigBook

Uniqueness - appreciating how God has made me special.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study the book of Esther, one of the Bible's most remarkable stories of courage, faith, and redemption. Although God's name is never mentioned in the book, His hand can be seen on every page as He quietly prepares people and circumstances to bring about deliverance. Esther reminds us that even when the Lord seems absent, He is still writing a story of hope. As Queen Vashti, Mordecai, and Esther each make courageous choices, the discussion explores how God often works through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him. From unexpected opportunities to faithful friendships and timely acts of courage, every moment reveals that the Lord is present in ways we may only recognize when we look back. The story invites us to reflect on where we have already seen God's hand in our own lives. The episode also highlights Mordecai's famous reminder that Esther may have come "for such a time as this," encouraging us to trust that God has been preparing us long before we realize what lies ahead. Rather than calling only a few people to great acts of service, the Lord invites each of us to participate in quiet rescues, strengthening and lifting those He has placed in our path. Above all, the story of Esther points to Jesus Christ, whose redeeming power turns mourning into joy and fear into hope. Just as the decree of death was reversed and became a day of celebration, the gospel promises that every sorrow can one day be transformed. Because of Christ, our story is never finished on its hardest day. The Lord is still at work, leading us toward the good day He has prepared.

Take a moment to connect with your body and make space for difficult emotions with compassion and care. This embodiment practice is guided by Lyla June Johnston, a Diné musician, scholar of Indigenous land management, and community organizer.How To Do This Practice:  Ground yourself in the present: Find a comfortable seated position and take four slow, deep breaths. Notice the feeling of your body supported by the chair or the floor, bringing your attention fully into the present moment. Reflect on a difficult truth: Gently bring to mind a challenging truth—such as the lasting impacts of colonization or another painful reality. Approach it with curiosity rather than judgment, allowing yourself to stay present instead of becoming overwhelmed. Notice where your emotions live in your body: As you reflect, pay attention to your physical sensations. You might notice tightness in your chest, heaviness in your stomach, warmth in your heart, or another sensation. Simply observe where your emotions show up. Hold your feelings with compassion: Rather than pushing difficult emotions away or getting lost in them, imagine holding them with the same care you would offer a crying child. Let each feeling be seen, heard, and acknowledged without trying to fix it. Replace shame with love and solidarity: If guilt or shame arises, gently set it down. Instead, invite feelings of compassion, hope, and connection. Consider one way you can move toward repair, understanding, or solidarity—even if it's simply bearing witness with an open heart. Return to the present with intention: Bring your awareness back to your breath, your body, and your surroundings. Relax your shoulders, soften your muscles, and take four more deep breaths. As you finish, carry forward an intention to meet difficult truths with courage, love, and compassionate action.

Julie Chen Moonves Talks BB28 Big Brother 28 is full of surprises as houseguests deal with blockbuster twists and the pressure of the season's first eviction. Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong team up for an exclusive interview with Big Brother legend Julie Chen Moonves. As week one wraps up, everyone is watching to see how these new twists will change the game—and who can keep up when the rules flip on a dime. Julie shares what it's really like to host Big Brother during such a chaotic season and explains how her background in live news helps her keep up with unpredictable eviction nights. They discuss how the blockbuster twist changes not only how the houseguests play, but also how Julie has to prep for every possible outcome as everything can turn at the last moment. The group touches on funny moments and the unpredictable nature of competitions—like evictions by “dinosaurs or volcanoes”—and the ways houseguests always keep the show interesting. Julie also gets honest about her own journey, learning not to take herself too seriously and finding gratitude even behind the scenes. Julie describes how the “blockbuster” twist forces her to prepare for any scenario on live eviction night, thanks to last-minute vote flips and rogue decisions. Rob Cesternino highlights how the show's ever-changing format keeps everyone—players and production alike—on their toes. Julie opens up about not taking herself too seriously, laughing at herself, and how even Zingbot's harsh jokes are all part of the Big Brother fun. A behind-the-scenes moment focuses on staying positive and hopeful, with Julie sharing the story of a grateful crew member from the lighting department. Julie points out how Dee surprised her this season and that Angela stands out as “the queen,” all while hoping to see some of Angela's controversial gameplay from her past. With alliances shifting and twists keeping things uncertain, all eyes are on who will make the right move to stay safe in BB28's opening week. Did the houseguests pick the right target for eviction?

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided. Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit. Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity. Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints. Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly. Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses. Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations. 2. Healing Precedes Leadership Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence. “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion. 3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand. Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold. 4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices. Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing. 5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves. Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide. 6. Quality Creates Wealth Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy. Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers. 7. Know Your Lane Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter. Bring in help for areas outside your strengths (marketing, operations, finance). 8. Entrepreneurship Requires Wisdom & Prioritization Dr. James balanced a full‑time executive career with her nonprofit by: Allocating hours wisely Using time strategically Mentoring within her workplace Following passion while honoring responsibilities 9. Age Is Not a Limiter At nearly 70, she asserts: “Don’t live your age, live your life.” Reinvention is possible at any age. Notable Quotes Here are direct, impactful lines from the conversation: On Identity & Purpose “Your authenticity is your empowerment.” “We were created on purpose for a purpose.” “If you’re trying to be what culture says you are, you’ll miss who you are authentically.” On Superpower “You take the supernatural of God, put it on your natural, and you’re empowered by it.” On Healing & Leadership “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” “I can’t take you where I haven’t been.” On Value & Monetization “What would you buy from you?” “If you wouldn’t pay for what you're selling, why should someone else?” “People will pay for quality.” On Wealth & Legacy “Wealth is not always monetary. My biggest wealth is the legacy I’m leaving.” “Make sure you put the quality in before your name goes on it.” On Aging & Living Fully “Don’t live your age, live your life.” “I will never get old. I will get older.” “How important are you to you?” #SHMS #BEST #STRAW #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
