The Lord teaches his disciples to use earthly resources with the wisdom of heaven. (Lectionary #490) November 8, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, every conservative faith leader, organization head, think tank, legal group, media, and political entity need to boldly speak out against vile, poisonous movements on the left and the radical right, specifically fascists, thugs, and neo-Nazis, rather than true conservatives or constitutionalists. Tucker Carlson and his ilk have promoted harmful ideas and attacked traditional Christians and Jews and they need to be rejected. Silence is the enemy. Also, Victor Davis Hanson's article "The New Antisemitism" argues that Jew hatred, once confined to fringe right-wing elements in America, has been largely marginalized by Republicans and conservatives like William F. Buckley Jr., with recent polls showing 83% of Republicans holding positive views of Israel compared to only 33% of Democrats. In contrast, left-wing anti-Semitism, now entrenched in the Democratic base and campuses, disguises itself in social justice causes like diversity, equity, inclusion, and outrage over alleged Israeli settler colonialism, genocide, and apartheid.  Later, the president is defending his authority to impose tariffs, arguing that if he loses his case, Congress would handle all tariff decisions for every country and circumstance, leveraging its power of the purse. However, tariffs serve multiple purposes beyond taxing citizens, including national security, foreign policy, international economics, and revenue generation. The president must make these decisions due to their broad implications, though Congress could intervene via statutes or funding cuts if he oversteps, which it hasn't due to party control in a republican system.

Today I'm joined by April Davis, founder of LUMA Luxury Matchmaking—and yes, she's married to a divorce attorney, which gives her a razor-sharp lens on what actually lasts. We dig into modern dating beyond the apps: values vs. chemistry, paradox of choice, readiness, standards, gender roles, and commitment—so real love stops feeling impossible and starts feeling inevitable. 3 Main Takeaways Values beat vibes. Chemistry fades; aligned values keep relationships stable long-term. Choice overload kills connection. The app era fuels paradox of choice and "dating for dismissal." Narrow on what actually matters. Readiness > checklist. Openness, fair conflict, and commitment predict lasting love more than "perfect" specs.     Deep Dive — 3 Core Topics 1) Values Over Chemistry (02:24–03:31) Timestamp: 02:24 What it means: Prioritizing values (character, life goals, family, faith, kids) prevents future mismatch that chemistry can hide. This shifts selection from short-term spark to long-term fit—dramatically reducing avoidable breakups. Notable quote (02:24): "Values are something that is core to who you are… you can't see red flags with rose-colored goggles." Why it matters: When values align, everyday decisions, conflict resolution, money, and parenting stay coherent—creating durability instead of turbulence. 2) Apps, Standards & the Paradox of Choice (11:27–12:20; 04:20–05:24) Timestamp: 11:27 What it means: Infinite swiping feeds a paradox of choice and "dating for dismissal," where attention moves to filtering out instead of letting something good unfold. Over-filtering (height, income, micro-preferences) trades possibility for illusion. Notable quotes: (11:27) "With apps, you have this paradox of choice… 50 shades of gray… dating for dismissal." (04:20–05:24) "Apps are only good for about 10%… someone swiped 2,000 times to get one date." Why it matters: Reducing noise (3–5 non-negotiable values) turns attention from shopping to connecting, improving follow-through, first-date quality, and momentum. 3) Readiness, Gender Expectations & Real Commitment (17:56–19:56; 29:38–30:34; 15:37–17:34) Timestamp: 17:56 What it means: A long checklist often masks fear; readiness looks like an open heart, flexible standards, and willingness to be coached. Add fair fighting and commitment to the relationship "third entity," and longevity rises. Modern gender roles (wanting alpha drive plus deep emotional attunement) can become an impossible ideal—so clarity beats fantasy. Notable quotes: (17:56) "Either they have a loving mindset and an open heart… or they're closed off… and not really ready." (29:38–30:34) "How you argue… fight fair… commitment to the relationship." (15:37–17:34) On shifting gender expectations and the "perfect person" myth. Why it matters: Readiness turns dates into data, conflict into collaboration, and differences into design choices—key levers for resilient partnership.

In this thought-provoking episode of Nomadic Diaries, Doreen Cumberford and Megan Norton-Newbanks interview Beatriz Nour  and dive deep into the complex and evolving concept of belonging—especially through the lens of those who live and move between cultures and places. From childhood roots to adult introspection, the conversation explores how connection and identity can be built, lost, found, and continuously redefined.Key Topics & InsightsRedefining Belonging:Beatrice discusses how her sense of belonging has changed over time, especially being born in France to Brazilian and Egyptian parents, living in Egypt, Dubai, and studying in France.Internal & External Work:Belonging isn't just about location or other people; much of it is internal. Beatrice emphasizes the importance of introspection, recognizing and integrating different parts of oneself, and nurturing feelings of home and connection through personal practice.Creating Spaces for Others:The group discusses how to intentionally welcome people who may feel unsure about their own sense of belonging—whether they've moved, are cross-cultural, or simply feel "in between."Moments of Belonging:Belonging and clarity aren't always permanent—there are fleeting moments where we feel truly at home, which is normal and part of the journey.Connecting to Culture:Beatrice shares personal rituals, like listening to Brazilian music and making comfort food, as ways she grounds herself in her multicultural heritage.Belonging in Professional Life:The challenges of belonging also show up at work, especially when one's multicultural background is misunderstood or undervalued in certain environments.Values as the Anchor:The episode closes with a powerful takeaway: knowing and living by your personal values makes navigating the complexities of cross-cultural life - and belonging - much easier, regardless of where you are.Connect with Beatriz:Podcast: In BetweenishInstagram: @inbetweenishListen on any major podcast platformFinal Thoughts:This episode is for anyone navigating life between cultures or feeling “in-between.” Whether you've moved frequently, grown up with multiple identities, or feel like an outsider in your own hometown, you'll find wisdom and comfort in the honest reflections shared here.If you enjoy Nomadic Diaries, don't forget to like, review, and share the podcast!Support the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with ease and grace.

Do we still have Morals and Values in today's world ? What is the key we do not see it today?Who is to blame?

Purpose is something we talk about often—but rarely define well. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore the difference between goals, values, meaning, and purpose—and why getting clear on those distinctions matters more now than ever. Purpose isn't a box to check or a milestone to hit. It's a narrative in motion—woven from past experiences, present decisions, and a vision of who we're still becoming. And for advisors, guiding clients toward that clarity means first being willing to ask those questions of ourselves.One of the greatest barriers to purpose work is that it feels uncomfortable. It's easier to talk numbers than identity. But when we use money to avoid harder questions, we miss the real opportunity: to help clients connect their wealth to what truly matters to them. I talk about the emotional and cognitive friction that keeps us—and our clients—from engaging with purpose, and how we can create space for meaningful reflection through tools like narrative writing, values clarification, and structured dialogue. These aren't one-time exercises. They're part of an ongoing relationship built on curiosity, not certainty.Helping clients find their purpose isn't about having the right answers. It's about being willing to explore the right questions, over and over again. Advisors who embrace that work—who model it in their own lives—are the ones who will earn the deepest trust. Because in a world where everything feels uncertain, purpose is what makes planning feel personal. And that's where our value becomes irreplaceable.

Summary  In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott McInnes discusses the challenge of accountability for values with guests Karen Jones and Karen Hackett. They explore the importance of articulating and embedding organizational values, the role of managers in fostering a culture of accountability, and the potential pitfalls of weaponizing values in the workplace. The conversation also touches on the significance of onboarding processes and the need for open communication and feedback within organizations.    Takeaways  Accountability for values is a significant challenge for many organizations.  Values must be articulated and understood to be effectively lived.  Creating a culture of feedback is essential for accountability.  Managers play a pivotal role in releasing the energy of their teams.  Onboarding processes should embed values from the start.  Psychological safety is crucial for open conversations about values.  Values can be weaponized, leading to defensiveness in feedback.  Organizations need to be bold about their current culture and desired future state.  Storytelling can help connect employees to organizational values.  Time is a critical factor in enabling managers to engage with their teams.    Chapters  00:00 Introduction to Accountability for Values  01:24 Understanding Organizational Culture  04:18 Insights from the Mind the Gap Report  06:19 Bringing Values to Life  11:03 Accountability in Practice  17:17 Weaponization of Values in the Workplace  22:16 Building a High-Performance Culture  24:53 The Role of Managers in Organizational Success  30:01 Empowering Middle Managers  37:22 The Importance of Storytelling in Leadership  37:49 Effective Onboarding Practices

Preaching Series October-November 2025 “Spiritual Gifts: My Role & Responsibility in the Church” cflTds a/bfg M Df08nLdf d]/f] e'dLsf / lhDd]jf/L  As mentioned earlier, we were hoping to do a series on Values of NRC? Cross-Way. However, I feel convicted these days about something closer to the believer's lives, need of this season of the church's life. I am feeling (and asked) that a series on Spiritual Gifts is more urgent to encourage believer's to take active part/responsibility of their faith and in the church. (Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day)  Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th.  (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.)  Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God's grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word.  Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God's character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life's possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That's how God's Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth.  This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must  and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts. So we will focus this series on Everybody's peculiar role and responsibility in building the body of Christ, as we are gifted, not necessarily as we wish or want.

How to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs holding you back.Achieving what you want in life doesn't just hinge on what you believe about your future. According to Muriel Wilkins, it has just as much to do with what you believe about your past and present.Wilkins is an executive coach, author, and host of the HBR podcast Coaching Real Leaders. In her new book, Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential, she explains how our personal and professional blocks often stem from our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. “A belief is a story that you tell yourself,” she says, “It is the operating principle that is driving your behavior and the decisions you make.” Before we can take actions that will lead us to where we want to go, we have to uncover these hidden beliefs. Otherwise, Wilkins says, “We'll come back right to where we started. It's not just about what we do, it's about what we think about what we do that makes all the difference."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wilkins and host Matt Abrahams explore the three-step process of uncover, unpack, and unblock — Wilkins' method for identifying limiting beliefs, understanding how they might be shaping our behavior, and updating narratives to align with who we actually want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Muriel WilkinsMuriel's Book: Leadership UnblockedEp.102 Create a Presence: How to Communicate in a Way Others Can FeelEp.98 Give It to Me Straight: How to Give Honest, Constructive Feedback  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - The Seven Limiting Beliefs (04:43) - Three Steps to Becoming Unblocked (07:57) - Rethinking Values and Success (09:12) - Healthy vs. Toxic Productivity (11:56) - The Power of Mindset and Reframing (14:32) - Reverse Engineering Your Goals (17:41) - Managing Emotional Investment (21:21) - The Final Three Question (27:42) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

In this Q&A episode, I flip the script on ambition, surrender + SELF-TRUST — showing you why letting go might be the most courageous move you'll ever make.They say success is about pushing harder, but the truth is that vitality comes from releasing what no longer serves you + trusting your HEART to lead the way.This isn't about settling. It's about EVOLVING. It's about building standards rooted in your VALUES, not in the “shoulds” society tries to sell you.So if you've been grinding yourself into exhaustion chasing someone else's version of success, here's your permission slip to stop. To trust. To surrender. To choose a life that feels FULL from the inside out.Maybe you needed to read this today:Letting go doesn't mean giving up — it means clearing space for your DREAMS.Your values are your compass. When you honor them, your standards RISE.Self-trust is built one BRAVE decision at a time.Not everyone is your teammate. Align with those who amplify your SOUL.Your heart isn't just emotional — it's STRATEGIC. It's the most powerful guide you have.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFREE RESOURCES:

This week, in Episode 269, we welcome Ted Wolf, co-founder of Guidewise, as the newest regular member of the 21 Hats Podcast crew—and Ted arrives with a pretty good story. Back when he was building his IT staffing business with his brother, a senior employee walked out. But he didn't walk out alone—he took key employees, key accounts, and 40 percent of the company's revenue. At the time, Ted thought it was the worst day of his business life. Turns out, he says, it was his best. Because that disaster forced him to rethink everything—how decisions get made, how profits get shared, how responsibility gets distributed. And that shift led not only to healthy growth but eventually to the kind of exit business owners dream about. That experience continues to inform the work Ted does today, helping companies integrate AI into their operations. The hard part, he tells Jennifer Kerhin, isn't the technology—it's the people. It's managing the change, the fear, the implications. The technology matters, too. Ted and Jennifer also discuss whether small businesses should try to retrofit AI into their current tech stacks—or whether the smarter move, painful as it may be, is to start fresh.

Send us a textThis week, I sit down with executive leadership coach Sarah Gibbons, founder of Sarah Gibbons & Company, to talk about what it really means to lead with depth, connection, and courage.We unpack the outdated definitions of leadership that still dominate corporate spaces, and how women can redefine power, purpose, and presence on their own terms.Sarah shares her journey from Amazon and MySpace executive to founder of a global coaching practice, and we dig into hard work vs hustle, leading from values vs expectations, and so much more.If you've ever been labeled “too ambitious,” “too much,” or “too direct,” this conversation will remind you that your voice, your values, and your vision belong at the center of your leadership.Guest Bio:Sarah Gibbons is an executive leadership coach and founder of Sarah Gibbons & Co., a global coaching practice devoted to helping individuals and organizations lead with depth, connection, and courage.

Host Will Humphreys welcomes back guests Jared and Afton Egan, co-owners of ERA Physical Therapy, to dive deep into a profound topic: Culture. This isn't just a business conversation, it's about how the intentional culture you build at work can transform your family life.Jared and Afton, married for four years and running their successful clinic for over a year and a half, share the foundational elements of their thriving business: their Purpose, Vision, and Values.Key Takeaways from ERA Physical Therapy's Culture:Company Purpose: To make an impact through every ERA of life, treating all ages from infants to the elderly.Company Values: Built around the acronym IMPACT (Integrity, Mastery, Professionalism, Accountability, Candid Care, Team), emphasizing a "we are family" approach.Vision: Growth-minded, aiming for three clinics in three years, and intentionally hiring "the right people" who align with their values.Branding & The Human Element: Afton, with a background in interior design and fashion marketing, details how every element of the clinic's design, messaging, and stellar social media is intentionally built to communicate their core culture, prioritizing the patient's nervous system and overall experience.Living the Culture: The Egans share tangible examples, from monthly team gatherings (pickleball!) to connecting with employees weekly, where metrics serve as a measurement of how well they are living their values, not the primary focus. Their true mission is building humans.The Slogan: Decisions Determine Destiny, a core belief that actions have a massive impact.Family Values: Built on the acronym DESTINY (Discipline, Empathy, Service, Tenacity, Integrity, Nurture, Yield).Family Purpose: To "become limitless, not by chance, but by choice."Co-Creation & Buy-In: They discuss the pivotal importance of involving their children in co-creating the family's purpose and values, fostering buy-in and allowing the values to become the frame for coaching and holding each other accountable.The Core Insight: Will shares a profound realization: a work team is also a blended family of individuals from different backgrounds. The Egans, being "built for building blended families," offer a unique, powerful model for leadership at work and at home. They discuss how setting clear agreements (culture) and not just boundaries is the key to creating lasting bonds and a place everyone can call home.This is a must-listen for leaders, parents, and anyone striving for alignment between their professional and personal lives.

 Coaches tell me all the time, “I know my why.” That's great. But do your values actually show up in the way you market and sell? In today's episode of The Raving Coaches podcast, I walk you through how values become your north star — not just for motivation, but for pricing, offers, branding, visuals, and your entire sales experience. I talk about Brené Brown's example of courage and vulnerability, and then connect it back to us as coaches: if your value is kindness, you can't be out here doing high-pressure, shame-based sales. That's off-brand. We'll look at what kindness looks like in copy, what it looks like in design (yes, even fonts can be “pokey”), and the difference between telling the truth and tearing down other coaches to sell. Then I invite you to the November 13 Marketing Lab — a 90-minute, interactive, “fix it right now” session where we'll identify your real business values and make sure clients can actually see them in your marketing. If your values are missing, you will not attract the right-fit clients. Period. https://ravingcoaches.com/marketing-lab

Most hiring currently focuses on assessing a mix of skills and experience. However, there's a deeper layer that often gets overlooked. Companies talk endlessly about culture and values, yet few know how to genuinely assess them.  This matters especially for purpose-driven organizations. Whether it's a B Corp, a sustainability-focused business, or any company with a strong mission, finding people whose values are truly aligned isn't just nice to have—it's essential.  So how do you find genuinely aligned candidates, and where does technology help, and where does it hinder My guest this week is Leon Richards, founder of Good Talent, an Executive search & leadership advisory consultancy for values-led organizations. In our conversation, he explains how values-based recruiting actually works, why human judgment matters, and what responsible AI use looks like. In the interview, we discuss: Values, purpose, and mission-driven organizations The importance of alignment  Why cultural fit is often missed How to assess for values alignment AI, human skills, and accountability The "moral crumple zone" What does responsible AI look like? The future of TA

In this compelling follow-up conversation, I welcome back Jonathan Cogburn, a licensed marriage and family therapist from Texas, to explore a nuanced conservative perspective on mental health services in schools. While we've covered many concerns about ideological overreach in school counseling on this podcast, Jonathan makes a thoughtful case for why certain levels of mental health intervention are not just appropriate but indispensable in our current educational landscape.We dive deep into the McKinney-Vento Act and its implications for students experiencing homelessness - a critical issue that most therapists haven't even heard about. Jonathan shares his extensive experience working with behavioral threat assessment teams and reveals surprising data about successfully prevented school attacks. We explore how schools can create positive cultures that prevent violence upstream, the proper boundaries between school support and parental roles, and why some vulnerable student populations desperately need these services.This conversation challenges us to think beyond binary positions about school mental health services, examining what a "just right" balance looks like that serves students while respecting parental authority and avoiding ideological indoctrination.Jonathan Cogburn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Texas who currently works for an agency that provides a variety of support to school districts in his area  In that role he delivers state-required mental health training to districts, supports rural school counselors and homeless student liaisons, and co-leads a team of licensed professionals and school counselors that respond to crises and disasters.

Did the Disciples Misremember Jesus' Resurrection? Were the resurrection stories just memories gone wrong—or history remembered right? In this episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, apologist Lenny Esposito interviews Dr. David Graieg, author of Resurrection Remembered (Routledge 2024), about what modern memory science reveals about the eyewitness testimony behind Jesus' resurrection. Discover how psychology, philosophy, and ancient oral culture shaped the earliest Christian memories and why 1 Corinthians 15 still stands as powerful historical evidence.

Are the people you spend time with making you better or holding you back? This episode examines Jim Rohn's famous idea that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Jake Thompson, a leadership performance coach and the Chief Encouragement Officer at Compete Every Day, joins the show to unpack this powerful concept. He has spent over a decade working with leaders at organisations like Deloitte and the Dallas Cowboys, helping them achieve better results. Jake started his brand, Compete Every Day, in 2011 by selling t-shirts from his car and has since impacted over 80,000 leaders and hosts a top 1% global podcast. In this conversation, Jake and Andy Lopata explore how to intentionally build a professional "starting lineup" while allowing personal relationships to grow organically. They discuss the critical difference between evaluating professional peers based on success and personal friends based on shared values and energy. Learn how to identify "drains" versus "radiators" in your life and the subtle art of the "slow fade"—distancing yourself from relationships that no longer serve your growth without confrontation. This episode is a masterclass in auditing your inner circle to ensure it aligns with the person you aspire to become. What we discussed: Your "Starting Five" Are the people you spend the most time with secretly holding you back, or are they the key to unlocking your future success? Values vs. Success: Should you judge your friends by their achievements or by something deeper? Discover the one quality that truly defines a valuable relationship. Drains vs. Radiators: Do you leave conversations feeling energised or exhausted? Learn the simple way to identify the "energy vampires" in your life. The "Slow Fade" Technique: Is it possible to end a draining friendship without a dramatic confrontation? Uncover the subtle art of "consciously uncoupling" from people who no longer fit in your life. The Power of Disagreement: Why surrounding yourself with people who only agree with you could be the biggest mistake you're making for your personal growth.

Not every season of business needs a coach—and some “must-hire” advice is straight-up nonsense. In this fiery, funny, double-blunt chat, Leonie and Tam unpack when coaching is actually worth it, the red flags to avoid, and smarter (often cheaper) alternatives that get real results—especially for neurodivergent, values-driven women running online businesses.Who it's for: Online business women who want strategic growth without guru-worship, bro marketing, or 70-hour weeks.Top Takeaways“Should I hire a coach?” isn't the first question. Start with: What problem am I solving right now? Accountability? Systems? Marketing? ADHD-friendly productivity?Pick by fit, not hype. Know your learning style (step-by-step system vs. options menu; strategy vs. energetics—or a blend).Cost ≠ ROI. A $50k package when you're under $100k revenue is rarely wise. Do the math, not the mantra.Don't stack mentors you can't implement. Learning ≠ doing. Implementation wins.Vet for longevity, ethics, and lifestyle match. Can you (and do you want to) run your business the way they run theirs?Be a powerful mentee. Keep sovereignty. You own decisions, actions, and results.Red Flags (Buyer Beware)Meteoric “8-figure in 2 years” with zero long-term track record.Follower spikes that smell like bots.Income claims without ad spend transparency.One-true-way formulas that punish deviation.Values misalignment (politics/ethics you can't stomach).Hustle-glorification incompatible with your life, health, or spoons.Smart Alternatives to Long Coaching ContainersBody doubling/accountability rooms for execution.VIP Day / “Done in a Day” for systems or a 6-month plan.Low-stakes test drive: a book, short course, or workshop before going deep.Timestamped Guide00:00 — Welcome back! Why this episode might surprise you.01:12 — The real first question: do you need a coach—or something else?03:05 — Picking style: accountability buddy, productivity, ADHD, intuitive + strategy, or “menu of options.”06:18 — Tam's calendar kryptonite: when “just go do it” isn't helpful (and what to ask for instead).09:40 — Body doubling > procrastination: simple ways to get sh*t done.11:02 — Spectrum check: manifest girlies ↔ pure strategy (and how to choose).14:30 — VIP Days & Website-In-A-Day: fast, focused outcomes without a 6-month saga.16:15 — Time cost reality: hours to watch, think, and implement—do you have them?18:04 — Money talk: when big-ticket coaching is a bad investment.20:32 — The “3 masterminds at once” myth—and why implementation capacity is the limiter.23:10 — Sunk-cost honesty: permission to stop when the fit is wrong (and forgive yourself).25:26 — Due diligence: longevity, follower audits, income claims, and ad spend.28:05 — Vibe & values: try a low-cost offer first; check ethics before you commit.30:48 — Lifestyle fit matters: rejecting 5:30am–10pm hustle culture (spoons, parenting, health).33:12 — How to be a powerful mentee: sovereignty, responsibility, and doing the work.35:20 — Don't pedestal your coach: keep what works, discard the rest.37:45 — The sales-page mistake: why a “video + buy button” flopped (missing funnel context).40:11 — Balance inner vs outer work: keep learning to ~10–20% of your week.42:05 — Right relationship as a coach: no gurus, no dependence—just partnership.44:00 — Wrap + how to share your “good mentee” growth edges.If this helped, rate 5★ and send it to a business bestie who's coach-curious but hype-hunted.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the loop of always being busy? Like rest is something you’ll earn “one day” when you’ve ticked off every last task? In this honest, warm, and wonderfully real episode, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold explore the dopamine-driven habits we all fall into—especially as studio owners—and how we can rewire our routines to prioritise what really matters. From addiction to Instagram scrolling, to running ourselves ragged trying to “do it all,” Stacey and Rhee talk about: ✨ The impact of our phone habits on productivity, presence, and parenting✨ How rest (yes, actual rest!) became one of Stacey’s core values✨ What you might be missing when you constantly chase “the next thing”✨ Rhee’s insights on the joy of doing nothing, and the guilt that sometimes comes with it✨ The truth about studio ownership: the hamster wheel, the pressure, and the need to pause✨ Practical ways to realign your time with your values—and lead by example If you've been craving space, clarity, and permission to slow down, this is your sign. Because rest isn’t a reward for working hard—it’s the fuel you need to keep showing up for the things you care about most.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fundraising is often considered to be transformational, but most of the time it's designed to measure only transactions.

Join us in our journey to prove that sustainable philanthropy grows from trust, equity, and care, not just numbers and spreadsheets.  Leslie (Jablonski) Carmona is Senior Director of Donor Experience and Individual Giving at Wayne State University, a major urban research institution in Detroit.

Discover how proportional giving can reshape donor relationships and build long-term engagement. Gain knowledge on how to flatten internal hierarchies and value all team contributions.
