Training camp is almost underway, and dynasty values are about to move. Theo Gremminger joins Fantasy Football Today Dynasty to break down the biggest position battles across the NFL, including Kyler Murray vs. J.J. McCarthy, Tua Tagovailoa vs. Michael Penix Jr., Chuba Hubbard vs. Jonathan Brooks, plus the RB and WR competitions that dynasty managers should actually care about, and the ones they shouldn't.

He didn't just popularize the video sales letter. He invented it. The format that now generates over $14 billion a year in revenue, that was Jon Benson. But the thing he's most obsessed with has nothing to do with tactics. It's this: you never have to lie in your copy. You just have to be brave enough to tell the entire truth. Jon Benson is a copywriter, AI pioneer, and the inventor of the Video Sales Letter. In this conversation, he and George unpack what it actually means to write from your values, why compelling always beats convincing, how to use AI without losing your human voice, and why the businesses that last are the ones built on genuine connection, not persuasion tricks. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why selling to everyone is a scarcity mindset and what to do instead The difference between compelling and convincing (and why one is manipulation) How to turn any feature into a benefit with two words: "so you can" Why your values, embedded in your copy, attract the exact buyers you want How Jon uses AI to write copy that sounds exactly like him, on his best day The human element Jon insists on inside every AI-powered product he builds What the rise of AI is actually doing to buyer demand for connection The free tool Jon built to help you find your buyer profile and value language Key Takeaways: ✔️If you have to convince someone, you're manipulating them. If you compel them, you're leveraging what they already hold to be true. One builds trust. One erodes it. ✔️Selling to everyone means resonating with no one. Narrow your avatar to one person, their values will seep into your copy naturally. ✔️The "so you can" formula: add it to any feature and your brain has to complete the benefit. That's where emotion lives. ✔️Values embedded in copy aren't obvious to the reader, they're felt. The right person can't explain why your copy speaks to them. They just know it does. ✔️AI gives you leverage, but it gives back exactly the quality of knowledge you put in. You still have to know what good copy feels like to direct it. ✔️The human component isn't optional. Jon does live coaching every Friday with Benson members because without it, a tool is just a tool. ✔️As AI automates more, buyer demand for genuine human connection increases. Buying cycles are getting longer, relationship is the difference. ✔️The telltale signs of bad AI copy: em dashes everywhere, three rhetorical questions in a row, and no tension. Learn to spot them. Then fix them.

Your mind does not just record reality, it edits it, polarizes it, and then makes decisions based on the edit. That is why we can feel certain we are “right” while repeating the same relationship patterns, motivation struggles, and self-sabotaging habits. We welcome world-renowned human behavior expert Dr. John DiMartini to unpack a practical way out: the DiMartini Method, a structured series of cognitive questions designed to balance perception, surface what we have been unconscious of, and turn apparent chaos into usable feedback. We talk about how quickly we can idealize or demonize people by staying conscious of upsides and unconscious of downsides, and how that split perception fuels infatuation, resentment, and regret. Dr. DiMartini shares how asking higher-quality questions can equilibrate the mind, reduce emotional reactivity, and help us become more present so life feels “on the way, not in the way.” If you care about mindfulness, emotional resilience, and personal transformation, this is a concrete framework you can apply immediately. From there, we go deep into values based living and why your hierarchy of values quietly runs your goals, your habits, and your sense of self-worth. Dr. DiMartini explains the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, why misaligned goals require constant pushing, and how adopting someone else's “shoulds” can erode authenticity. He also points to his free values determination process at drdmartin.com as a way to clarify what truly matters, set congruent goals, and fill your days with high-priority actions instead of low-priority distractions. If this conversation helps you see your patterns more clearly, subscribe for more practical mindfulness tools, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.BECOME A CERTIFIED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER Teach mindfulness with confidence and skill — without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

Reality tv shows like Love Island and Real Housewives are tools that can build empires and lasting legacies. We love to dismiss reality TV shows like Love Island and The Real Housewives as "guilty pleasures”. We watch them to "turn our brains off," and enjoy watching the people on screen for their unfiltered ambition, their messy conflicts, and their relentless self-promotion. These shows reveal exactly who people are when the pressure is on. In this episode we dive into the connection between visibility, decision-making, and your personal legacy. We'll discuss why not all money is "good" money, how to vet brand partnerships that actually align with your values, and why "reputation management" is no substitute for real integrity.

In this episode I sit down with Brett Gilliland, founder and CEO of Elite Entrepreneurs, who has spent the last fourteen years helping business owners make the leap from hustler to real CEO. We dig into why so many founders get stuck right before the ten million dollar mark, and why it almost always comes down to control. Brett walks me through the four systems his company teaches to build a business that doesn't depend on the founder for everything, what a CEO's real job becomes once a leadership team is in place, and how to know when you're still holding onto something you should have let go of months ago. We also get personal, talking about the daily disciplines that keep us both grounded, including his fourteen "I am" statements that he's repeated every single morning for over a decade, and why taking care of yourself first isn't selfish, it's what makes you capable of showing up for everyone else. If you've built something real but feel like you're the bottleneck holding it back, this conversation is for you. Topics Covered Why founders need to change in order to grow their business Letting go of control as a business owner The difference between a hustler and a real CEO What changes once a business hits $10 million Building a full leadership team The CEO's real job: vision, team, resources The four systems Elite Entrepreneurs teaches to scale a business Why founders unknowingly sabotage their own growth Daily disciplines and morning routines Putting yourself first to show up better for others About Brett Gilliland: Brett Gilliland is the founder and CEO of Elite Entrepreneurs, a company that gives seven figure business owners the knowledge, systems, and coaching to grow to ten million dollars and beyond. For over a decade, Brett helped lead Infusionsoft's growth from seven million to more than one hundred million dollars in revenue, where he was involved in building the company's Purpose, Values, and Mission, co-created the Elite Forum, and served as VP of Leadership Development. He has spent fourteen-plus years coaching founders and executives on how to move from hands-on hustler to confident, capable CEO. Brett has been married to his wife Sharon for thirty years, and together they have eight children.

When the body whispers, the fool waits for it to scream.” In health diagnostics, one of the quietest whispers is your ferritin level. It's often overlooked, yet it can be the missing link behind exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog, or the frustrating experience of bloodwork that comes back “normal” while you still feel terrible.What Is Ferritin?Ferritin is your body's iron storage protein. Think of your iron levels like a financial setup: hemoglobin is your checking account, drawn on daily. Ferritin is your savings account, tapped only when things get tight. Under stress, your body will drain the savings account long before it lets the checking account — hemoglobin — run low. That's why you can have “normal” hemoglobin and still be iron-depleted. A low ferritin level means your reserves are running out, and that shows up as fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and thinning hair.Normal vs. OptimalMost labs flag ferritin as “normal” above roughly 10–20 ng/mL. That threshold mostly means you're not in immediate danger — not that you're thriving. Levels associated with feeling genuinely well tend to run from 70 to 100 ng/mL. So if you've been told your ferritin of 14 or 22 is fine, but you still feel wiped out, you're not imagining it — you're just being measured against a bar set for avoiding crisis, not for feeling good.Why Your Ferritin Might Be Low* Menstrual blood loss. For many women, the cumulative loss over months and years outpaces dietary iron intake, slowly draining reserves.* Absorption issues. Even a solid iron intake doesn't help if it isn't absorbed. Silent celiac disease, low stomach acid, or an H. pylori infection can quietly block uptake for years.* Inhibitors and hepcidin. Coffee, tea, and dairy consumed close to meals can inhibit iron absorption. Separately, inflammation can push your liver to produce hepcidin, a hormone that shuts down iron uptake even when you're eating enough.Symptoms to WatchPersistent fatigue, thinning hair, feeling cold more easily than others, and brain fog are the classic signs. If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth getting your ferritin checked specifically — not just assumed to be fine because your CBC looked normal.The Bigger PictureIron does far more than carry oxygen. It's involved in thyroid hormone conversion, dopamine production, mitochondrial energy synthesis, and hair follicle health. That means low ferritin can produce symptoms that look a lot like depression or hypothyroidism — even when your thyroid panel and mood screening come back clean.Taking Action* Review your bloodwork. Look specifically at ferritin. Anything under 70 ng/mL is worth a conversation with your doctor.* Ask for a full iron panel. Ferritin alone isn't the whole story — request serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation, and CRP (to rule out inflammation skewing the picture).* Adjust absorption habits. Space coffee and tea away from meals, lean into iron-rich foods, and avoid taking calcium and iron supplements together.* Choose the right supplement, if needed. Ferrous sulfate is harsh on the gut for many people. Iron bisglycinate is gentler and pairs well with vitamin C for better absorption — but check with your provider before starting, especially if high ferritin is a concern.* Loop in a professional. This is especially important before making changes if you suspect elevated ferritin, since iron overload carries its own risks.Listening to Your Body's WhisperYour body is constantly sending signals. Ignored long enough, whispers become screams. Taking ferritin seriously — not just as a checkbox on a lab report, but as a meaningful marker — is one concrete way to catch a problem while it's still easy to fix.Final ThoughtsMonitoring and optimizing ferritin can meaningfully change how you feel day to day. It starts with a simple ask: get the right test, read the number in context, and act on what it's telling you. If you want a more personalized look at your own levels and symptoms, consider scheduling a comprehensive health session.Stay informed, stay healthy, and listen closely to what your body is telling you. Until next time, take care.References* Camaschella, C. (2015). Iron-deficiency anemia.

Sometimes saving the planet can feel like a massive, exhausting guilt trip. In this episode, Debbie sits down with University of British Columbia professors Elizabeth Dunn and Jiaying Zhao to talk about their book, Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Species. Their main point is about the whole "you must be perfect" climate messaging is totally backfiring, and focusing on joyful, high-impact changes is actually what keeps people motivated. Jiaying breaks down a massive 63-country study showing how scare tactics just make people want to shut down, and the duo debunks some common eco-myths.It turns out that obsessing over turning off the lights or choosing the perfect reusable bag doesn't move the needle much. Instead, they shout out smarter, high-leverage moves like treating beef and lamb as occasional splurges, eating more plants, and traveling lighter. They also get into how to influence the people around you by making sustainable choices easy, attractive, and non-political, proving that individual habits and big systemic changes (like voting) both matter.Listen and Learn: How "doom and gloom" climate messaging actually backfires by discouraging real-world actionSurprising insights from a massive global study of 60,000 participants across 63 countriesFinding joyful, climate-friendly lifestyle changes to create a positive feedback loop that makes us happier and more motivated to protect the planet How making practical, high-impact shifts in your daily habits like smarter food choices can create a truly sustainable difference for both you and the planetData-backed truth behind common environmental myths and how to easily focus your energy on the daily lifestyle choices that actually make a high-impact difference for the planet How to significantly lower your carbon footprint without sacrificing the foods you loveReducing your carbon footprint without giving up the joy of travel by mastering the art of packing light, making smarter flight choices, and embracing the unexpected adventure of staycations How to inspire positive behavior change in others without lecturing them on climate change Why individual action and systemic change are not a false dichotomy, but rather a powerful partnership where local community engagement can drive larger policy shifts and boost your personal happiness Resources: Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Specieswww.happyclimate.org Book Debbie mentioned: Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden, by Camille T.

What if some of the greatest investment opportunities weren't hiding in Silicon Valley or Wall Street, but inside small businesses that have been overlooked for decades?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with Monika Mantilla, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Altura Capital (https://alturacap.com/), to explore how patient capital, purpose-driven investing, and entrepreneurial success can create extraordinary financial returns while strengthening communities. Over the past 21 years, Monika has built a proven track record investing in lower middle market businesses across low-and-moderate-income communities, demonstrating that impact and performance are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing ones.Monika shares why Altura Capital was intentionally built as an investment platform rather than a traditional private equity fund, allowing the firm to provide flexible capital tailored to the unique needs of growing businesses. She explains why patient investment horizons of three to seven years, combined with operational partnership and long-term thinking, consistently outperform short-term approaches. Along the way, she introduces The Altura Way, the firm's ten-pillar value creation framework that helps companies strengthen strategy, operations, leadership, governance, digital transformation, and community impact while building more resilient businesses.The conversation also explores one of the largest untapped opportunities in modern investing. Monika discusses research conducted alongside 29 of America's largest corporations that identified an estimated $590 billion in unrealized value within underserved business segments. She explains how diverse ownership, improved market access, and stronger partnerships with companies such as Walmart, Kroger, CVS, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson help unlock growth that traditional investors often overlook.But this episode reaches far beyond investing. Monika reflects on the influence of her upbringing in Bogotá, Colombia, the lasting impact of her mother, her faith-driven approach to leadership, and the philosophy that guides both her life and business: ser en el hacer—being in the doing. She also shares her unique 200-hour planning system, organizing life into fourteen categories across eight-week cycles, and explains why she considers leading Altura to be only her seventh priority after ensuring the rest of her life is aligned with her values.Listeners will gain insights into:Why the lower middle market represents one of the most overlooked opportunities in private equityWhat patient capital really means and why long-term investing creates stronger businessesHow Altura's ten-pillar value creation framework systematically scales growing companiesWhy diverse ownership and investing in underserved communities can generate above-market returnsHow market access and strategic partnerships accelerate business growthWhy values, intentional leadership, and disciplined time management are foundational to long-term successThe role conscious capitalism can play in creating both economic progress and social progressWhether you're an investor, entrepreneur, business leader, or simply interested in how capitalism can be a force for lasting value creation, this episode offers a compelling conversation about building businesses that deliver exceptional returns while expanding opportunity for more people.If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?

Who Taught You to Believe That? | The Ancient Warning Every Christian Needs Every Christian is being discipled by someone—but are they leading you toward Christ or away from Him? In this episode, Lenny Esposito explores Deuteronomy 13 to uncover God's timeless warning about false prophets, counterfeit gospels, and the subtle influences shaping our faith today. From modern church movements to social media algorithms, learn how to test every teaching against Scripture and recognize the voices that truly lead to Christ.

Reaching financial independence is supposed to be the goal—but what if you get there and realize the real skill isn't earning or saving, but learning to spend? And what if the metric for business success has nothing to do with revenue growth and everything to do with protecting your nervous system? Key Topics Discussed Introduction and the Hidden Curriculum 00:00:00 Brad introduces the concept of life's hidden curriculum—essential lessons never explicitly taught but crucial to building extraordinary lives, including the question extraordinary people consistently ask: "What am I missing, and how could this be useful to me?" Redefining Business Success 00:08:00 Diania explains her counterintuitive decision to keep the EconoMe Conference capped at 500 attendees despite selling out 9+ months in advance, redefining success around maintaining a calm nervous system rather than maximizing revenue or scaling. Enoughness and Simplifying Life 00:15:00 A discussion about determining "enough" in business, friendships, and life overall. Brad shares why he chose not to scale ChooseFI to Dave Ramsey levels, and both explore the power of intentional constraints. The Tuesday Project 00:22:00 Brad introduces his framework for designing FI around what your ideal average Tuesday looks like—waking without an alarm, taking walks in green space, accessing amenities on foot—rather than focusing solely on extraordinary experiences. Daily Routines and Time Abundance 00:30:00 Diania shares her 4-5 AM morning routine, one-meeting-a-day philosophy, and how she structures days with intention and flexibility to protect both productivity and mental space. The Skill of Spending in FI 00:42:00 Both hosts examine the challenge of learning to spend money intentionally after reaching FI, including examples like grocery delivery services and making purchases without the scarcity-driven research habits that got them to FI. From Scarcity to Abundance 00:55:00 Diania reveals how her annual spending increased from $60K to over $100K—all on discretionary categories like health, relationships, generosity, and travel—while caring about money less than ever. She shares her recent $29K car purchase and why FI as a goal became irrelevant once the journey transformed her life. Values, Idealism, and Materialism 01:08:00 A deep exploration of understanding true values versus social programming, the realization of not actually wanting the status symbols you thought you did, and how reducing materialism creates space for idealism. Health and the Better Body Challenge 01:18:00 Diania details her transformative six-month fitness accountability challenge requiring 5 weekly workouts, 70,000 steps per week, daily protein goals, and data uploads—with a $100/week fine for missing targets. Backing Yourself Into a Corner 01:32:00 Discussion about public accountability, understanding what motivates you personally, and intentionally creating circumstances that ensure follow-through on worthy goals. Notable Quotes Brad Barrett: "A lot of people who consistently build extraordinary lives ask, what am I missing, and how could this be useful to me?" Diania Merriam: "Success is a calm nervous system for you personally." Diania Merriam: "I'm not looking for followers. I'm not looking for customers. I really look at them as my peers." Diania Merriam: "My risk has flipped from running out of money to running out of time. I am much more willing to waste money than to waste time." Diania Merriam: "The less materialistic I am, the more idealistic I get to be." Key Takeaways Identify one area where you're using scarcity mindset despite financial security and experiment with an abundance-based decision Design your Tuesday Project: write down what your ideal average Tuesday would look like in FI and identify what's preventing that now Audit your attention: identify what's stealing your focus in ways that don't align with your values and set one boundary Consider joining an accountability group for a goal…

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Why That Number Isn't What You Should Be Asking?What does the market bear? What does your competition charge? What do you think you can get away with? These are the three questions most founders ask when they set a price, and Ed Lee has spent the last decade watching them lead people straight into underpricing themselves.Ed is the author of The Last Mile of Trust and has worked with over two thousand companies on how they price what they sell. For years he watched founders carry the same insecurity into every pricing conversation, shrinking the number the moment a client hesitated. Then he started to see that insecurity eroding the very thing that made his clients worth paying for.In this conversation, Ed makes the case that what someone pays is directly tied to what they believe they are getting, not to what the comps say. A consultant pricing at $3,000 because that is what the market shows, while delivering $50,000 worth of transformation, does not read as a deal. It reads as a mismatch, and mismatches make buyers walk away, not the quoted price. Ed shares how to find the right number for your business. It's not the number he says, it's how much they trust you.Ed and I have worked together for the last year, and what stands out about him is that he is unapologetic about needing time with his family. His business supports his life, not the other way around, and I watched him live with that friction and resolve it one step at a time. The friction he feels when charging what he is worth is the same friction he faces every time he puts his family first. It's an investment for him. If you are tempted to price something by asking what everyone else charges instead of what you are worth, this episode is worth a listen. You will walk away with a way to find your number, and proof that facing friction instead of running from it is what makes the number hold.Chapters:00:00 Cold open — Pricing builds trust, not just numbers.00:46 Intro — Beate welcomes Edward Lee, author of The Last Mile of Trust.03:32 The friction myth — How “frictionless” can erode your secret sauce.04:52 Price as identity — Your number signals value, impact, and trust.08:39 Adobe case — Subscriptions, AI add‑ons, and when features backfire.12:40 Pricing as a filter — Qualify ideal customers; repel discount‑seekers.14:41 Values and balance — Family, presence, and the workout analogy.23:33 Evolving the offer — How Ed reshaped Hello Advisor's pricing and model.27:14 Book + key takeaway — Where to get it, toolkit bonus, and why price is the last mile of trust.About  Ed Lee Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of HelloAdvisr, a pricing strategy consultancy, and the author of The Last Mile of Trust. He has advised more than 100 high-growth companies on pricing and monetization, with a combined valuation exceeding $1.4 billion. He teaches at UCLA, serves as expert-in-residence at Oxford University's Saïd Business School, and hosts the Margin for Error podcast.Connect with Ed LeeWebsite | LinkedIn | X | Instagram |Instagram _____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

In our last service at the Taft Avenue campus, we celebrate the past and look forward to a bright future together.

Last year, the Gallup organization released the results of their latest American Values Index. Respondents were given a list of twenty-three values and were asked to choose all of those values that were important to them. Finishing at the top of the list were family, with forty nine percent placing that as most important, and Freedom, with thirty-percent placing that at number one. Rounding out the top ten in this order following family and freedom, were health, integrity, faith, trustworthiness, happiness, respect, kindness, and knowledge. It's encouraging to see these results. The key, however, to bearing fruit from these values is that we choose to prioritize and functionally live out the values we say that we hold. As Christians, we know the family is a creational institution, established by God, as one male and one female enter into a covenantal marriage, then bearing the fruit of children. Parents, spend time with your kids, and diligently nurture them in the faith.

Will you be in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday July 15? I will be interviewing Francis Fukuyama about how liberalism should respond to the postliberal threat. Find out more and get your free ticket here! —Yascha Yascha Mounk and Deirdre McCloskey discuss why ideas, not capital accumulation, made the modern world rich. Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, sometimes described as “the conscience of economics,” holds the Isaiah Berlin Chair in Liberal Thought at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Deirdre McCloskey discuss why liberalism drives economic growth, how the gradual erosion of inherited hierarchy unleashed centuries of innovation, and what liberals should think about the trans debate. We're delighted to feature this conversation as part of our series on Liberal Virtues and Values. That liberalism is under threat is now a cliché—yet this has done nothing to stem the global resurgence of illiberalism. Part of the problem is that liberalism is often considered too “thin” to win over the allegiance of citizens, and that liberals are too afraid of speaking in moral terms. Liberalism's opponents, by contrast, speak to people's passions and deepest moral sentiments. This series, made possible with the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, aims to change that narrative. In podcast conversations and long-form pieces, we feature content making the case that liberalism has its own distinctive set of virtues and values that are capable not only of responding to the dissatisfaction that drives authoritarianism, but also of restoring faith in liberalism as an ideology worth believing in—and defending—on its own terms.
