Pastor Allen explores the profound significance of Jesus' voluntary sacrifice, focusing on John 10:17-18. Jesus willingly gave His life, as no one could take it from Him, fulfilling prophecies and demonstrating His divine nature as the great "I AM."

This episode is part of the POE series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark. In November 2024, Akshay Nanavati set out to do what no one had ever attempted before… He wanted to complete the world's first unsupported, solo, 2,750km coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica without any dogs or kites. To do this, he would need to drag a sled with a starting weight of 420 pounds from start to finish. The goal? To explore the hidden treasures of the human soul—treasures that can only be found in the depths of solitude and suffering. He wanted to push the boundaries of what's possible and share the wisdom found on the other side. His attempt was ultimately cut short due to a life-threatening infection, but not before he covered 500 miles in 60 days. In this gripping episode of Beyond A Million, Akshay recounts the journey: the intense physical and mental preparation, raising $1.1 million, spending two months in complete isolation, and confronting the unrelenting monotony of Antarctica. We also dive into how his background as a Marine, a recovering addict, and author of Fearvana shaped the philosophy that fuels his relentless drive.

Watch the Podcast Video on our YouTube Channel No business can operate with zero emissions, there's only so much you can reduce before you need to look at offsetting the remainder to truly achieve Net Zero. Carbon offsetting comes in many forms, but the ones people will be most familiar with include purchasing carbon credits for nature restoration projects and tree planting efforts. Historically, the voluntary carbon market has been troubled by project developers who haven't operated their carbon offsetting projects to the environmental and social standards expected by buyers. With the use of offsets on the rise, it's clear that there is a need for transparency and standardisation within these voluntary markets. In this episode Mel is joined by Tiffany Cheung, the Corporate Engagement Lead at AlliedOffsets, to explain what the voluntary carbon market is, how carbon credits work from purchase to retirement and what quality controls are in place to ensure they are reliable. You'll learn ●       Who are AlliedOffsets? ●       What is the voluntary carbon market? ●       What are carbon credits, and how do they work? ●       What quality controls are in place for carbon credits? ●       How will the voluntary carbon market affect future regulatory requirements? ●       What does it mean to retire a carbon credit? ●       What services do AlliedOffsets offer?   Resources ●       AlliedOffsets website ●       AlliedOffsets LinkedIn ●       Carbonology   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – Tiffany Cheung joins Mel to discuss the voluntary carbon market, explaining the carbon credit lifecycle and what quality controls are in place to ensure they are reliable. [01:40] Who are AlliedOffsets?: AlliedOffsets aggregates data from over 30 carbon registries and compliance schemes as well as off-registry transactions to present the most comprehensive dataset on carbon offsetting activity globally. Their data has been featured in publications such as the Financial Times, Forbes, The Guardian and many more. [03:20] How did Tiffany get involved in carbon markets?: Tiffany has been working with AlliedOffsets for over a year, and a lot of their role as Corporate Engagement Lead includes talking to a variety of stakeholders on the buying side of the carbon market, understanding what their motivations for being in the space are, what their strategies are going into the future and their wider decarbonisation process. Tiffany also looks at their transactional activity and how that has changed over time. Prior to their position at Allied Offsets, Tiffany worked in a major environmental advisory and brokerage firm based in London. There they gained a knowledge of both voluntary carbon markets as well as renewable energy markets in that space, this in addition to learning more about the accompanying compliance trading and risk side of things. [06:00] What is the carbon market?: Carbon markets describe markets where carbon is translated from a greenhouse gas into an asset, or a commodity that can be traded. These tend to represent actual tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide that have been sequestered somewhere else in the world through various projects. Compliance carbon markets work differently from voluntary carbon markets. Compliance carbon markets provide regulated ways of pricing carbon, both in terms of reducing emissions and generally making polluters aware of the environmental impact of their emissions in a financial way. They may be associated with the voluntary carbon market, also known as the VCM, or they may be referred to as a kind of carbon tax. [07:05] What's the difference between a voluntary carbon market and a non-voluntary carbon market? If you are engaging in the voluntary carbon market, there is no legislative impetus for you to be involved in it. It's mostly driven by a business' own desire to offset emissions. The offsetting of residual emissions is done through the purchase of carbon credits, which are representative of 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent removed from the atmosphere. If you offset all of your remaining emissions, then you may be able to claim carbon neutrality for the year that the credits apply to. The benefits of carbon credit-issuing projects aren't always related to solely greenhouse gas removal, and depending on a businesses motivations, you can help to fund a wide range of beneficial projects such as clean water provision or improved cook stoves which improve air quality in domestic settings. [09:25] What type of organisations are leading the way with carbon credit purchasing? – AlliedOffsets has unique access to the transaction history across 30 different global registries, enabling them to provide an up to date and wide ranging view on the voluntary carbon market. There is a very strong relationship between how polluting a sector is and how well engaged it is with the voluntary carbon markets. So major players include energy producers, aviation, maritime, ground transportation and mining and materials. There is also an increase in financial services, technology and telecommunications services entering the carbon market. Tiffany expects this trend to continue with increased data centre usage and artificial intelligence driving up energy consumption across these sectors. [11:10] How does the voluntary carbon market operate?: When a company first decides they want to buy carbon credits, ideally they would engage with a well-established broker or intermediary who can source a variety of carbon credits. It's helpful for the broker to know what sort of carbon credits or projects a company is looking to invest in. There's a lot of different options, including: ●       Forestry ●       Alternative land use ●       Blue Carbon ●       Engineered carbon dioxide removal The company will let the broker know how many tonnes of carbon credits they'd like to buy, attributed to a certain period of time or activity based on their quantification and existing carbon reporting. Market prices will range quite significantly based off of what technology type or methodology you're going with, but most carbon credits are currently sub $15. Once agreed, your intermediary will secure and retire the credits for you, from the registry and project developer. Retiring a carbon credit means they are taken entirely off the market and they're considered to be “spent” or used. Nobody else can use those as an investment or offset at that point, and the purchasing company can consider their carbon footprint to have been neutralised for the specified period. [12:00] What quality controls are in place for the voluntary carbon market? While there isn't a master registry, there are several registries across the world that generally dominate the market. They vary in terms of the methodologies that they may or may not specialise in, as well as with geographies. The biggest ones that you're most likely to see in the market are known as VCS, GS, ACR, and CAR. These account for about 80% of the total market volume by retirement and issuance. The way that these registries work is that they perform a bookkeeping function within the space. Projects will register their sequestered tonnes of CO2 removed with these registries, who will then check to see if these projects have complied with their methodology, which would have been set by a Standards Body. Once approved, those project developers can sell their credits as a commodity. When a business wants to buy credits, the type of projects they want to engage with will dictate the sort of registries they'll be engaging with. There are also checks in place set by the registries to ensure that project developers use third parties to further validate their project activities. [16:45] What are the methodologies used in the voluntary carbon market? A methodology refers to the way in which a specific project should be undertaken in order to ensure that the pace of carbon sequestration and storage is consistent throughout the project's life. Registries are ultimately responsible for issuing the appropriate methodology, and the project developers need to be able to evidence compliance to that methodology. The process for a project to be registered is quite complicated, and it generally takes 2 – 3 years from concept to being in a position to issue credits. There is also a requirement to have their work validated by a Verification and Validation Body (VVB). These are third party auditors who check the evidence provided by project developers to ensure they comply with the necessary methodology. This may include the VVBs undertaking a site visit. [19:30] Will regulatory requirements be introduced within the voluntary carbon market?  – Tiffany states that there is definitely a demand for regulatory requirements in the space. There a two key drivers for this: The need for integrity among buyers – There are many sectors where engaging in a more unregulated space can be risky. Sectors such as the legal and financial sectors need a certain level of oversight to ensure they are making sound investments. Convergence of compliance and voluntary markets – This is a change that's been happening over the past few years. This is being driven by governments taking part in the voluntary carbon market space and realising that they can yield returns for the country. Additionally, when they're spending public funds, there needs to be a certain level of assurance in the projects they're engaging with. There is also a growing appetite for businesses engaging in this market to ensure that they are doing the best thing possible ahead of the curve. There's been a lot of negative press around greenwashing projects, leading to potentially tarnished reputations, to the need for proper checks and regulation is becoming a necessity.  [22:45] What does it mean for a carbon credit to be retired? – The point at which a carbon credit is retired is when it has been taken totally out of circulation for the market. That means that no other broker, intermediary or end buyer would be able to use that credit in any kind of capacity. It's like having the receipt to say this person has purchased this product, it belongs to them now and nobody else can use it.   [24:30] How are stakeholders using the data provided by AlliedOffsets? – AlliedOffsets has a very wide data set, with an equally wide range of stakeholders. Some particularly interesting use cases include: Benchmarking against the competition – Corporate buyers use their data to compare how their activity measures up to competitors or peers within their sector due to AlliedOffsets long view of historic activity. It highlights what projects are being favoured by their competitors and what kind of price points they should be looking at as well. Project developer research - Another common use case is that project developers will want to see who is active in the market and who they should be targeting for funding. AlliedOffsets can see specific buyer activity broken down by region as well as methodology, which means project developers have a really good chance of being able to engage with buyers who are entering the space and might not have established those direct procurement relationships. Government consultation - Markets can be a huge source of income from the private sector into the public purse. For example, you might have a voluntary carbon market scheme that's associated with a compliance scheme, which can mean tax benefits for complying businesses alongside socio-environmental benefits for the country.

Send us a textWhat if embracing discomfort was actually the secret to happiness? In this powerful solo episode, Brian Bosley challenges conventional wisdom by introducing a game-changing concept: voluntary adversity—the practice of deliberately seeking out difficult experiences to build resilience and control over your life.Using the compelling metaphor of buffalo versus cows during storms, Bosley reveals why running toward challenges rather than away from them is transformative. While cows flee storms (extending their misery), buffalo charge directly into them, minimizing their time in discomfort. This natural wisdom applies directly to our lives—when we avoid pain, it pursues us relentlessly.The heart of this episode centers around the "happiness pie chart" that breaks down our contentment into three segments: 50% genetics, 10% external circumstances (money, status, possessions), and a crucial 40% intentional activities we can completely control. It's this 40%—particularly through voluntary adversity—where true transformation happens."Earn your comfort, don't seek it," Bosley advises, sharing his personal practices like cold plunges, weighted runs, and role-playing speeches before delivery. Through practical techniques including breathwork, mantras, and Mel Robbins' countdown method, he provides tools to overcome the mind's resistance to discomfort. With examples ranging from cold showers to public speaking to taking different routes home, he demonstrates how even small daily challenges build extraordinary resilience.The choice we face is stark: experience the temporary pain of work (rewarded forever) or the temporary reward of avoidance (regretted forever). Which wolf will you feed? Start practicing voluntary adversity today, and become truly undeniable.Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/

More details have emerged on the Department of Defense's Deferred Resignation Program. According to a new memo, the DOD will offer the program to eligible DOD civilian employees for a week between April 7 and 14. Voluntary early retirement authority will also be offered. The initiatives, ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, come as the Pentagon is looking to reduce its reduce civilian workforce and implement the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts. Jules Hurst III, acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, wrote in an April 1 memo that the DRP provides a “generous opportunity for employees to enter a paid leave status for several months, prior to resigning or retiring,” adding that employees pending approval or approved for the program will not be subject to return to in-person work requirements. A bipartisan bill that would establish a nonprofit foundation aimed at boosting private-sector partnerships at the National Institute of Standards and Technology was reintroduced in the House and the Senate on Tuesday. The Expanding Partnerships for Innovation and Competitiveness (EPIC) Act would create a Foundation for Standards and Metrology at the Department of Commerce, which would be focused on fostering collaborations with academia, industry, and other organizations. That new foundation would ultimately help supplement NIST's funding and — according to a release shared with FedScoop in advance of the Wednesday announcement — make the path to commercializing technologies developed by the agency easier.

Send us a textBrandon Mulnix returns to share his extraordinary journey through voluntary adversity – a concept that transformed his life after a devastating car accident left him with 12 facial fractures and his jaw wired shut. Rather than retreating into self-pity, Brandon chose to embrace this challenge head-on, even managing to complete a 50-mile ultramarathon while still unable to eat solid foods.The conversation explores what happens when we purposely seek difficult challenges that benefit ourselves or others. Brandon's story exemplifies this approach, from his healing journey after the accident to his viral fame when his jaw-wired-shut ultramarathon made headlines worldwide and landed him in Runner's World magazine. Most powerfully, Brandon reveals how what seemed like the worst day of his life ultimately became "the best event of my life" – launching him toward deeper relationships, a healed marriage, and the adoption of his son from Ethiopia.Brian and Brandon dive into practical wisdom about choosing hardship over comfort, battling the "resistance" that prevents growth, and the transformative power of helping others during your own struggles. They explore how starting small – even just refusing to hit the snooze button – can build the resilience muscle that transforms our response to life's inevitable challenges.This conversation will leave you questioning your relationship with comfort and inspired to embrace voluntary adversity as a path to becoming your best self. As Brandon reminds us, "We don't grow by having happy things happen to us. We grow through our trials."

Earlier this month, Oregon joined nine other states in meeting a goal to get 3.3 million electric vehicles on the road by 2025. That number is set to grow under a rule that requires all new passenger cars, SUVs and pickup trucks sold in Oregon to either be fully electric or plug-in hybrid electric by 2035.  But adopting cleaner, more fuel efficient vehicles also means that Oregon and other states are grappling with reduced revenues from gas taxes. Electric vehicle owners also don’t pay any gas tax, which have led states like Oregon to explore launching programs which charge motorists a fee based on how much they travel instead of how often they refill at the pump. The Oregon Department of Transportation has operated a voluntary, pay-by-mile program since 2015. Roughly 800 people are currently enrolled in OReGO, which charges participants 2 cents for every mile driven in Oregon. Joining us to talk about what’s been learned after a decade of this pilot program is Travis Brouwer, assistant director for revenue, finance and compliance at ODOT.

Key ConceptsRequirements for Valid Statutory Marriage:Obtaining a marriage license from the appropriate government authority.Meeting eligibility requirements such as age, not being currently married (bigamy), and not being too closely related (consanguinity).Solemnization of the marriage by a recognized officiant (e.g., clergy, judge) in the presence of any legally required witnesses.Voluntary consent of both parties, with the requisite mental capacity to understand the nature of the marriage contract.Common-Law Marriage:Recognized in a limited number of jurisdictions.Requires cohabitation, holding oneself out to the public as married (e.g., using a common name, referring to each other as spouses), and a present intent by both parties to be married.If validly formed in a recognizing state, generally receives full faith and credit in other states.Requires a formal divorce to terminate, similar to a statutory marriage.Prenuptial Agreements:Contracts entered into before marriage that typically address property division, spousal support, and other financial matters in the event of divorce or death.Require voluntary agreement, full disclosure of assets and liabilities by both parties, and often the opportunity for independent legal counsel to be enforceable.Generally cannot determine child custody or child support in a way that is not in the best interest of the child.May be deemed unenforceable if unconscionable at the time of enforcement due to drastically changed circumstances.Postnuptial Agreements:Contracts entered into after marriage that address similar issues as prenuptial agreements.Subject to many of the same requirements for enforceability as prenuptials (voluntariness, full disclosure).May face additional scrutiny due to the existing marital relationship and potential for undue influence.Can modify state default rules regarding property division and spousal support, provided they are fair and knowing.Domestic Partnerships:A legally recognized status that provides some, but not all, of the rights and responsibilities of marriage.Recognition and the scope of rights vary significantly by state and locality.Often established through formal registration with a government entity.May offer benefits such as health insurance, hospital visitation, or inheritance rights.Recognition is not as uniform across jurisdictions as marriage, potentially leading to legal complexities when partners relocate.Distinguished from common-law marriage by the requirement of formal registration in most cases.Cohabitation agreements can serve a similar purpose for domestic partners or unmarried couples, relying on contract law principles for enforcement.
