The Problem With Vanity In The Last Days: Psalm 144 & Proverbs 13 by Shawn Ozbun

In 2007, child protection officers in Pinella County, Florida, spoke with a 14-year-old girl who'd been sexually assaulted by a musician she'd met on MySpace. But thanks to their failed investigation, more than 20 preteen fans would suffer the same fate.Dahvie Vanity, frontman of scene kid band Blood On The Dance Floor, spent over a decade using social media to prey on his band's enormous preteen fan base – seemingly, with absolute impunity.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram
Joel Gandara fled Cuba on an overcrowded boat at age 4, grew up in poverty, and built and sold a multi-million-dollar men's apparel company — without ever having a master plan. He joins Ted Phaeton on The Modern Man Podcast to unpack the arc, the tactics, and the brotherhood he now runs for men who want more. Joel is a Cuban refugee, a former apparel entrepreneur (he acquired 13 of 14 businesses that weren't publicly for sale — using handwritten notes as the opening move), and the founder of 31 Daily Challenges and The Brotherhood — an invitation-only community of 119 men across the country who meet the standard through his 31-day challenge process. His wife runs the equivalent for women. In this conversation: the Garbage Pail Kids origin story (fourth-grade entrepreneur, out of necessity), why he never had a master plan and figured everything out along the way, the $160K cash-withdrawal moment that shifted his identity, why 100% of his risks got green-lit by his wife (and the exit-plan discipline that earned that trust), the organize-organize-organize principle that made his apparel company sale-ready without a scramble, the handwritten-note tactic that led to 13 acquisitions, the Brotherhood model (invitation-only, intentionally slow-growth, 2–5 new invites per class), why the lone wolf is losing more than he thinks, how to vet mentors ("how are they living, not what they show"), the anti-vanity discipline ($49 Timex, no mortgage, used truck bought cash — the more things you own, the more things break), and the line every married man should stitch on his wall: pick the damn place.

Am I waiting to feel confident before I start living like the woman I want to become?Does the way you look actually change the way you perform — and could getting dressed be one of the most underrated tools for confidence and success?In this episode of Uncut & Uncensored, Caroline gets honest about image, money, confidence, ageing and reinvention. After losing almost everything and rebuilding her life, businesses and identity, Caroline asks an uncomfortable question: does looking successful actually help you become more successful?Dress as the woman you want to become before you've fully become her, why women are still judged differently as they age, the pressure to "dress your age," working from home without letting yourself disappear, and why confidence is sometimes something you put on until you remember it was yours all along.If you've been waiting for the promotion, the money, the body, the relationship or the "right time" to finally show up as her — this episode is your reminder:Wear the dress. Book the flight. Enter the room. Stop saving your best self for later.And if you're ready to put yourself in a room with women who are doing exactly that, join Caroline this November for the Maldives Private Island Retreat.

The DC circuit court of appeals ruled that Donald Trump must stop constructing his vanity ballroom on the White House grounds, ruling that his conduct was unconstitutional. They ruled that way because only Congress can spend money to construct a government building. And it wasn't only the court of appeals that ruled against Trump - the court of appeals was affirming the trial court judge's ruling that Donald Trump's conduct is unconstitutional and it must stop.But now, another one of Trump's former criminal defense attorneys - Solicitor General John Sauer - is asking the Supreme Court to allow Donald Trump's unconstitutional conduct to continue.

The sermon exposes the danger of legalism by analyzing Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees in Matthew 15, demonstrating how man-made rules replace genuine devotion. It argues that legalism produces heartless worship, where outward rituals mask a distant and unengaged soul, contrasting this with God's desire for inner transformation and sincere love. The preacher warns against both Roman Catholic sacramentalism and evangelical will-worship, asserting that neither approach honors God when it relies on human invention rather than divine command. True worship requires a renewed heart aligned with the truth of Scripture, rejecting any practices not explicitly ordained by God. Believers are urged to examine their own hearts and commit to worshipping God exclusively in the manner He has revealed.
August 15, 2026; 7am: The costs of President Trump's vanity projects are reaching new heights after the Washington Post reported his administration is estimated to spend at least $900 million on remodeling the White House. The spending on all of these projects comes as the American economy continues to struggle due to Trump's war with Iran, something he said he won't apologize for. Vanity Fair Washington Correspondent Aidan Mclaughlin and Axios Senior Economics Reporter Courtenay Brown join “The Weekend” to discuss.

Every coach says the same thing when the business isn't moving. "I need more leads." And it sounds logical, it sounds actionable, it sounds like something you can actually fix. The problem is that it's almost never true, and building a strategy around the wrong diagnosis is one of the fastest ways to stay stuck.This is the first episode in a new series where Adam Roach and Jess Webber take on the most common problems coaches name when their businesses aren't growing, and then make the case that those aren't the real problems at all. It picks up naturally from where the "Is This Actually Yours?" series left off. Once you've done the identity work, once you've started noticing what's borrowed and what's genuinely yours, you still need to figure out what's actually blocking growth. And most coaches are diagnosing that wrong.Adam opens with the one thing he hears constantly: coaches believe they need more leads. More followers, more reach, more visibility. Jess counters with the math, because the math is actually clarifying. If you're building a one-on-one practice and targeting ten clients with even a conservative 20% close rate, you need 50 people. And you almost certainly know 50 people, or know people who know 50 people, who fit your ideal client profile. The "leads" problem isn't a quantity problem. It's a perspective problem. You're looking at your pipeline transactionally instead of relationally.Adam names it simply: you're not looking at leads wrong, you're looking at them wrong. The moment you shift from transactional to relational, the people who are already in your world stop looking like strangers and start looking like opportunities.From there, the conversation moves to the second thing coaches name: tech. Websites, funnels, platforms, tools. Jess has strong feelings about this one (fair warning: she's spicy). Adam built a multi-million dollar coaching business without a website. Jess has a website she built because she likes learning to build websites, not because it's ever brought her a client. The coaching industry has a deep and expensive obsession with tech as a proxy for authority, and it isn't. A text from a client you've gotten real results for does more for your pipeline than any Manus-generated website with an italicized serif font and a hero image.The third misconception is audience size. How many followers you have, how many channels you're on, what your subscriber count looks like. Vanity metrics don't build pipelines. One specific person seeing content that was made exactly for them is worth more than a thousand passive followers who vaguely relate to you.Adam and Jess close the episode by announcing Pack Your Pipeline, a live event specifically designed to help coaches move from the misconception to the solution. Details are still in progress, but if you want to be notified when registration opens, DM "PYP" to Adam or Jess on Instagram.Part 2 of this series will name what the actual problem is.What you'll take away from this episode:Why "I need more leads" is almost always a misdiagnosis, and what to ask yourself insteadThe Pareto Principle applied to coaching pipelines, and why the math is more encouraging than you thinkWhy coaches look at their leads transactionally when the business actually runs on relational thinkingWhy a tech stack gives you the feeling of progress without actually moving your pipelineWhy vanity metrics (followers, subscribers, channel count) have almost nothing to do with whether you sign clientsWhy showing up on fewer channels, more authentically, matters more than showing up everywhereWhat algorithm behavior tells you about selling in your content (and why it's working against you)Notable Quote: "You don't need leads. You don't know what your problem is, and you don't know how to use the pond you're already in." -- Jess WebberResources Mentioned:The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (referenced by Adam, currently reading)Pack Your Pipeline event: DM "PYP" to @adamrroach or @thejesswebber on Instagram to get the registration link ILC community: ilovecoachingco.comInstagram: @ilovecoachingco / @adamrroach / @thejesswebberYouTube: youtube.com/@ilovecoachingcoTimestamps: [00:00] Intro: what this new series is about [01:00] What coaches say their problem is: leads [02:00] Why "I need leads" is almost never true [02:48] The Pareto Principle and the pipeline math [04:23] Leads as transactional vs. relational thinking (Adam's reframe) [06:10] Adam's wife and the art of being a relationship depositor [07:02] Jess: "You don't know the pond you're already in" [08:17] The second perceived problem: tech [10:39] What "tech" actually means (websites, funnels, platforms) [11:05] Adam: how he built a multimillion dollar business without a website [12:15] Why AI-generated websites hurt more than they help [15:55] Tech as imposter syndrome cover [16:45] The third perceived problem: audience size and channels [17:00] Why coaches try to be everywhere at once [18:48] Jess's channel: 971 Instagram followers, 400+ podcast listeners [19:31] Vanity metrics vs. a filled pipeline [20:20] How to actually use a channel (stop selling on social) [24:00] Adam announces Pack Your Pipeline event [25:48] How to get on the PYP notification list [27:17] Part 2 preview: what the actual problem isJoin the Community: If you're a coach who's been pouring energy into things that aren't moving your business, you are not alone and you are not broken.

Why does life still feel confusing and unsatisfying even when we try to live wisely? In this introduction to Ecclesiastes, Dave Jenkins begins a journey through one of the Bible's most honest and searching books. Ecclesiastes confronts the temporary nature of life, the limits of success and pleasure, and humanity's search for lasting meaning. The Preacher describes life "under the sun" as vanity, a vapor that cannot be grasped or held. Wealth, achievement, pleasure, work, and human wisdom cannot ultimately satisfy the heart. Ecclesiastes forces us to face the reality of life in a fallen world and directs us toward the only One who can give lasting meaning.

Sondre Lerche has been writing songs for most of his life. He released his debut Faces Down more than two decades ago, and somehow, eleven albums later, he's still finding ways to make the whole thing feel new. We talk about his new record Acrobats, spending years rewriting a single song, falling in love in a world that can make happiness feel almost irresponsible, and what performing 130 shows of *Moulin Rouge!* taught him about singing, acting, and pushing himself somewhere completely unfamiliar. We also get into getting older, vanity, learning to let go of how other people see you, his lifelong style obsession, the influence of A-ha's Morten Harket, vintage clothes, Ralph Lauren, and why some of his earliest songs are harder for him to revisit than others. * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Exploring the Connection Between Matthew 21, the Book of Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah 21 For Bible in Ten – By DH – 9th August 2026 Matthew 21, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah 21 1 The Greater Son of David and the End of Vanity Matthew 21 presents Jesus Christ as the rightful King, the rejected Son, and the only secure foundation for man. Ecclesiastes gives a remarkable companion to this chapter because it begins with another “son of David, king in Jerusalem.” That king searched through wisdom, pleasure, wealth, achievement, labour, and human experience, yet repeatedly concluded: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” Matthew 21 presents the greater Son of David entering the same city. Solomon could describe the problem of life under the sun, but he could not remove it. He saw that wisdom could not defeat death, wealth could not endure, pleasure could not satisfy permanently, and human labour could not produce lasting gain. Jesus came not merely to describe the problem, but to solve it. Solomon observed the curse. Christ came to bear it. Solomon saw that all men die. Christ came to lay down His life and take it again. Solomon searched for lasting meaning. Christ is the One in whom lasting meaning is found. 2 What Profit Is There? Ecclesiastes repeatedly asks what lasting profit man receives from all his labour. Matthew 21 applies that question powerfully to religion. The temple was full of activity: sacrifices, money changing, worship, teaching, and ceremony. Yet when the One to whom the entire system pointed entered the temple, its leaders rejected Him. What profit is there in maintaining the shadow while rejecting the substance? The temple could demonstrate the need for cleansing, but it could not finally cleanse man from sin. The sacrifices pointed toward atonement, but they could not complete it. Jesus is the reality toward which they pointed. Religion without Christ becomes another form of vanity. 3 Empty Words Before God Ecclesiastes warns: “Draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools.” It also warns against careless words and vows before God. That connects directly with Jesus' parable of the two sons. One said he would obey, but did not. The other initially refused, but later repented and obeyed. The religious leaders possessed the language of obedience, yet they rejected Christ. Tax collectors and harlots had openly lived in disobedience, yet when they believed, they entered the kingdom before them. Profession without faith is empty. Words without obedience are vanity. The true question is whether a person receives the Son. 4 A Time to Plant and a Time to Uproot Ecclesiastes says: “A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.” This provides a fitting background to the fig tree and vineyard of Matthew 21. God had planted Israel and entrusted them with covenant privilege. But stewardship was intended to produce fruit. The fig tree had leaves, but no fruit. The vinedressers wanted the vineyard, but rejected the owner's servants and finally his son. They treated stewardship as ownership. Matthew 21 therefore marks an appointed time of accountability. There had been a time to plant. Now there was a time for fruit to be examined. The leaders could not make their stewardship permanent simply because they wished to retain it. What God appoints, He also has authority to remove. 5 What God Does Endures One of the strongest connections with Ecclesiastes is this: “Whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it.” This points beautifully toward the sufficiency of Christ. The religious system had accumulated ceremonies, traditions, authority, and outward forms, but salvation would not come through adding more. God's work in Christ would be complete. Jesus is the fulfilment of the law. He is the true Sacrifice. He is the rejected Stone who becomes the chief cornerstone. Nothing can be added to His work. Nothing can improve it. Nothing needs to complete it. Human works pass away. God's work in Christ endures forever. 6 Isaiah 21 — Human Glory Falls Isaiah 21 adds a solemn supporting witness: “Babylon is fallen, is fallen.” Babylon appeared powerful and secure, yet its strength, wealth, and idols could not prevent the judgment appointed by God. Ecclesiastes teaches that earthly greatness is temporary. Isaiah 21 demonstrates it. Matthew 21 applies the same warning to religious privilege. The leaders of Jerusalem trusted in their position, their temple, and their authority. But no system is secure when it rejects the Son. Isaiah 21 also asks: “Watchman, what of the night?” The answer comes: “The morning comes, and also the night.” The morning had come to Jerusalem because the King had arrived. But for those who rejected Him, night was also approaching. And finally, section 7 — The Pattern of the Number Twenty-One There is a beautiful pattern surrounding the number 21. W. Bullinger notes that twenty-one is three times seven, presenting the thought of Divine completion in relation to spiritual perfection. This gives an interesting framework to these three passages. Ecclesiastes is book 21. It demonstrates that man cannot attain lasting completeness through anything “under the sun.” Isaiah 21 shows that even the greatest human power cannot make itself permanent: Babylon falls at the appointed word of God. Then Matthew 21 presents the answer in a Person. What man cannot attain, and what human power cannot preserve, God provides in Christ. Ecclesiastes asks: What truly lasts? Isaiah 21 answers: not the glory of man. Matthew 21 answers: Jesus Christ. Thus the pattern of twenty-one does not glorify human perfection. It directs us instead to the perfection and permanence of what God has accomplished in His Son. Man searches. Man builds. Both come to an end. But God sends His Son. And in Him is the enduring answer. Life Application Ecclesiastes warns us not to seek permanence in temporary things. Isaiah 21 reminds us that even the greatest human powers eventually fall. Matthew 21 directs us instead to Christ. Religion, wisdom, wealth, achievement, and position cannot reconcile us to God. Jesus alone can. Therefore, our confidence must rest not in what man can build, achieve, or preserve, but in what God has accomplished through His Son. Christ alone is the secure and eternal foundation. Prayer Lord God, thank You for showing us the emptiness of trusting in things that cannot endure. Thank You for sending Jesus Christ, the greater Son of David, the true King, and the everlasting cornerstone. Keep us from empty religion and misplaced confidence. May our faith rest entirely in Christ and in the work You have completed through Him. To You be all glory forever. Amen.
Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 The Vanity Of Pursuing Wealth Jason Velotta Download
A retailer I once worked with was selling children's clothes by the hundred. When we finally costed everything properly, she was making about 50 pence an item.Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.Most of us build a product business the sensible way round — get trading first, worry about the back end later. And that is the right instinct at the start. But somewhere along the way the sales data ends up living in Shopify, the stock data lives somewhere else entirely, the costs live in your accountant's software, and when you finally put the three side by side, none of them agree. This week I'm joined by Stacey Dorrian, who I've known since we were the two senior merchandisers at Coast, and who has spent 25 years since then working in retail data. We talk about what actually happens inside a growing product business that has never built any structure underneath its numbers.We get into the questions most retailers never stop to ask. Are you recording your cost of goods anywhere at all? Is your best seller genuinely your best seller, or just your busiest product with the margin quietly stripped out of it? Are you staffing, stocking and reordering a corner of your business that isn't earning its place on the floor? And if you're carrying eight, ten, thirteen thousand lines, how would you ever know? Stacey explains why a sales report only ever answers one of the four questions your data is capable of answering — and why the other three are where the money actually is.I also share the moment that retailer realised she had never had a sales problem at all, and Stacey walks through exactly where she would start if your numbers are currently a mess and the whole thing feels too big to open. By the end you'll understand why gut decisions get more expensive the bigger your order quantities get, what "sales is vanity, profit is sanity" really costs you in practice rather than as a slogan, and the three things to fix, in the order to fix them. Press play to find out where to begin.CHAPTERS00:00 The signals your shop is missing04:40 The four questions your numbers can answer06:15 Sales is vanity — the costs nobody records12:02 Where to start if your numbers are a messLINKSApply for Stock Doctor: stockdoctor.netAll episodes: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Catherine on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyLSE Data Analytics Career Accelerator (mentioned in the episode): lse.ac.uk

With July being "Pride" month, I thought I would do a series on the concept of Pride. No, I'm not talking about the pride associated with LGBTQ+ issues. While I have no problem with that kind of pride and the importance of LGBTQ+ people's rights, I don't want to get into those issues on a podcast about Great Quotes for Coaches.Today, we end this series on the concept of pride that I have struggled with my entire life - the dichotomy between the positive kind of pride in one's accomplishments and the negative kind of pride that goes too far into arrogance, boastfulness, and vanity that has been named one of the 7 Deadly Sins.As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you.

From the songs of French troubadours to the tale of Chaucer's Wife of Bath to the poetry of Dante and the dialogues of Petrarch, they examine how Ovid's narrative of Narcissus and Echo grew into a powerful cultural template for dramatizing changing attitudes towards love, sexuality, gender, and more. By the same token, as Abby, Patrick, and Dan explore, the figure of Narcissus became a touchstone for other literary traditions, moral discourses, and theological traditions. Turning to key moments from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Church Fathers, the three then sketch out how the question of narcissism also came to reflect longstanding cultural anxieties about vanity, “vainglory,” pleasure, embodiment, humility, pride, and the nature of selfhood.Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Two women, same expertise, same platform. One chased virality. One watered relationships. Only one built a business. Karen breaks down why daily posting, chasing algorithms, and "vanity visibility" leave your calendar empty no matter how many likes you rack up — and introduces the 3-2-0 ritual, a small, repeatable, relationship-first practice for turning LinkedIn visibility into real, booked calls. Key Takeaways Vanity visibility — posting more, chasing trends, checking your numbers — grows followers, not clients. The 3-2-0 ritual: three 20-minute sessions a week focused on conversations, not content. Real relationships — comments, follow-ups, genuine congratulations — are what actually create calls on your calendar. Your years of expertise mean 20 focused minutes outweigh a beginner's four hours of hustling. Consistency compounds. Applause doesn't. If this episode hit home, subscribe to Good Girls Get Rich and share it with a woman in your life who's exhausted from posting with nothing to show for it. And grab your free seat in Karen's masterclass at she'slinkedup.com/masterclass. Magical Quotes From The Episode: "Visibility was never a lightning strike to keep chasing — it's a garden." "Nobody hires a billboard. They hire women they know." "Consistency compounds. Applause doesn't." Help Us Spread The Word!

Looking good isn't a sin—but when does self-improvement become self-worship? In this episode, we wrestle with one of the most relevant questions Christians face today: from BBLs and Botox to braces, veneers, and hair transplants, where should followers of Jesus draw the line?

We often talk about backlist books around here because there is a wealth of delight to be found in titles that aren't getting the buzz and attention of recent releases. In fact, one of our most frequent requests from listeners and prospective guests is "help me find backlist gems." We are riffing on that theme by sharing a backlist episode with you: today Anne is resurfacing a conversation that we still talk about and hear about all the time, in part because of the guest's absolutely unique way of choosing her next read. Today Anne is chatting with reader Elizabeth Cooper, in an episode we originally aired in July 2020 as Episode 244, You Love to Read, Don't Ruin It. Elizabeth came here looking for books she described as brain candy: books with a killer premise, pages that practically turn themselves, and totally satisfying endings. This is a great conversation, and we're excited for you to hear it again or for the first time. Find the list of titles mentioned today at our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/532. Reflecting on our reading lives is an endless source of joy and discovery, and over the past few years, What Should I Read Next? Patreon community manager Shannon Malone has joined Anne for a mid-year reading check-in. They're doing that again this year, and that brand-new episode will be landing in your podcast apps next week. If you're new to this idea, check out our conversations from 2024 and 2025: those are both linked on our show notes page.
