Surrender Isn't Weakness, It's Freedom with Yeshaia Blakeney | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this thought-provoking and deeply human episode, Yeshaia Blakeney opens up about his journey through addiction, self-destruction, and spiritual awakening with striking honesty and wisdom. Growing up in the chaos of Hollywood, Yeshaia describes feeling emotionally adrift and spiritually disconnected long before drugs entered the picture. What began as an attempt to escape pain and emptiness eventually led him into the darkness of addiction, arrests, and broken relationships. He recounts sitting in a jail cell — the moment he realized, “This isn't who I am” — and how that breaking point became the foundation of his recovery. Through faith, humility, and an unrelenting search for truth, Yeshaia found that healing wasn't about willpower, but surrender. He now dedicates his life to helping others rediscover their own humanity, guiding people toward authenticity, connection, and spiritual growth through his work at Recovery Integrity. With disarming vulnerability, he challenges the misconception that sobriety alone is the goal, emphasizing instead that true recovery means finding meaning, love, and purpose beyond the pain. This episode is both a wake-up call and a source of hope — a raw conversation about redemption, faith, and the beautiful struggle of being fully human.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

President Donald Trump just forced China into its most vulnerable position in decades. Trump wrapped up a weeklong trip to Asia and, after years of tension and economic warfare, negotiated a sweeping deal with Beijing. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the specifics of the deal—including China's promise to stop the flow of fentanyl to Mexico—how this breakthrough happened, and what this means for the future of U.S.-China relations on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “ [China] sized up the domestic renaissance here at home—low inflation, basically 3% or below, 3%, probably, at the end of the year of GDP, stock market record levels, vast new investments—and they said: You know what? The United States is back. And the foreign—the atmosphere is very different. “Neutrals will probably join them. And their friends are emboldened. So, they've got new alliances. NATO is stronger than it's ever been. So, you add all of that up and the Chinese said to themselves the following: I think it's time to cut a deal. Not that we're gonna give up on trying to erode and subvert the United States.” (0:00) Trump and Xi's Deal (0:46) Why Now?

Why are consumers less responsive to restaurant marketing right now?This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Robert Byrne, director of consumer and industry insights with Technomic and a regular podcast guest. We wanted to talk with Byrne about the general state of the industry, mostly because we had this question: Why isn't anything working?Over the past couple of years, restaurant chains have unleashed more promotions at customers than ever before. They are introducing record numbers of limited-time offers. They have more technology. And the number of deals available to consumers is at record levels. Even fast-casual chains that never before had to push lower prices are doing so.Byrne is an expert on consumer behavior and we talk extensively about what is driving consumers away from restaurants. We discuss consumer concerns about inflation and what they're thinking when they dine out. In short, consumers' motivation is a lot different than it was not that long ago.It's a great conversation on this week's A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

FIRST HOUR 9-915 Market Relief, AI Layoffs, and Political Turmoil Guest: Elizabeth Peek Elizabeth Peek analyzes market relief following the temporary US-China trade truce, noting that President Trump effectively uses American consumer spending and tariff policy as a powerful geopolitical weapon. However, she expresses serious alarm over AI-driven mass layoffs across major corporations, including Amazon, coupled with a notable absence of substantive political debate addressing workforce displacement. Peek warns that the rise of an inexperienced, anti-capitalist mayoral candidate threatens New York City's economic prosperity and competitiveness in an increasingly challenging urban landscape. 915-930 Market Relief, AI Layoffs, and Political Turmoil Guest: Elizabeth Peek Elizabeth Peek analyzes market relief following the temporary US-China trade truce, noting that President Trump effectively uses American consumer spending and tariff policy as a powerful geopolitical weapon.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Tariffs as a Consumer Tax and the Inflationary Impact Guest: Professor John Cochrane Professor John Cochrane explains that tariffs effectively function as a tax on American consumers and create a temporary bump in inflation throughout the economy. Retailers are currently absorbing substantial cost increases but will likely pass these expenses on to consumers after the Christmas holiday season. Cochrane notes the Federal Reserve faces a challenging policy dilemma: tariffs increase prices, yet there is mounting political pressure to lower interest rates. He characterizes tariffs as a potentially costly geopolitical weapon with uncertain strategic benefits. 1015-1030 Tariffs as a Consumer Tax and the Inflationary Impact Guest: Professor John Cochrane Professor John Cochrane explains that tariffs effectively function as a tax on American consumers and create a temporary bump in inflation throughout the economy.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Proliferation Risks from US Surplus Plutonium Sales Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski critiques the Department of Energy's plan to sell 20 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium to American firms for use in new reactor designs. He warns that promoting plutonium fuel exports substantially raises international proliferation risks by bringing nations substantially closer to nuclear weapons capability. Sokolski notes that South Korea is actively seeking permission to recycle plutonium domestically, a development that increases nuclear uncertainty across the Korean Peninsula and challenges the global nonproliferation regime. 1215-1230 Google's Quantum Leap and the Advancing AI Frontier Guest: Brandon Weichert Brandon Weichert discusses Google's Willow quantum chip, which has achieved verifiable quantum advantage, surpassing supercomputers by a factor of 13,000.

Weichert notes the rapid evolution of AI systems, including Grok and ChatGPT, each advancing in sophistication at an accelerating pace. He emphasizes that the future demands pairing artificial intelligence with quantum technology to unlock transformative computational capabilities beyond current limitations. 1230-1245 Strengthening the US-Japan Alliance and Rare Earth Supply Guest: Grant Newsham Grant Newsham analyzes the successful meeting between President Trump and Japan's newly appointed Prime Minister, Takayuki Sai. The two leaders agreed on rare earth supply cooperation, crucial for countering Chinese economic leverage and maintaining technological independence. Sai is focused on substantially increasing Japan's defense spending and addressing military recruitment shortfalls to strengthen regional capability.

Rates continue to fall today. There were two rate announcements, only hours apart. This morning the bank of Canada reduced its benchmark lending rate by 0.25%. Weakness in the labor market was the top cited reason for the drop in rates. This afternoon at 2:30, Chair Powell stood at the podium as he does every six weeks and announces the results of the two day FOMC meetings. The Fed dropped their benchmark lending rate by 0.25% to a target range of 3.75% to 4%. This is the second consecutive rate cut by the Fed, a move aimed at supporting a labor market that has shown signs of weakening even while inflation continues to run above the Fed's 2% target. When you start to look at all of the corporate layoffs and the rising unemployment rate, it is very reminiscent of the 2001 recession that was led by layoffs in the tech sector.  So while the news of lower interest rates is welcome, the rates are a reaction to a faltering economy where just this week alone, more than 75,000 people lost their jobs. I'm not counting the smaller layoff announcements of only a few hundred people in that total.  These are big numbers. You don't see these kind of numbers in a growing economy. So the likelihood is high that the US is already in recession, but it is politically unpalatable to say that out loud. What's more, there is no data being collected or reported, so the economy can limp along under the cover of the government shutdown.  Then there is the government shutdown itself. Those families are not getting paid and you can guarantee that they've cut back on discretionary spending. That's a few million people who are not traveling to resorts or dining out in fancy restaurants.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

At an address in Columbus, Ohio, in 1900, former slave Booker T. Washington kept the room spellbound. This man, who had built Tuskegee Institute to lift blacks out of economic bondage, was revered around the world.But he said something that surprised more than a few in the audience. He said that one of his main priorities for the Institute was hiring more Bible teachers!Washington, who had been forced to work in an evil system, once felt powerless. Yes, an American president legally freed the slaves—but Washington's faith in Christ was the real key in lifting him up.Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”Are you down and out right now?

What was Paul's thorn in the flesh and why didn't God remove it? Discover how weakness can reveal God's power and reframe your own struggles.

On our perpetual quest for bigger, better, faster, wealthier, and stronger, we're led to believe that more is the answer – more gadgets, advanced technology, connections, resources, money, entertainment, etc. But what if there was a case to be made the answer to fulfillment is not in more but in less? My guest today, Dewyane Noel, makes that case. We talk about why less is more, how to reduce noise, chaos, and distraction in the modern world, the value of a hard day's work, what we can learn about human behavior through good horsemanship, and why good men ride good horses.

I showed up to my first member-guest at Tampa Palms sick, under-prepared, and running on caffeine, ibuprofen, and grit—and still found a way to win our flight and taste the shootout. In this raw recap, I walk you through the chaos (slow play, no warm-up, rules hiccups), the lows (bunker disasters), and the highs (clutch sand save on the final hole). You'll hear exactly how I managed energy, self-talk, and strategy when my plan went to zero—and how those same mindset levers translate to your next round and your business. In this episode, you'll learn: How to manage expectations and energy when your prep falls apart The mindset shift that helped me play calm golf while feeling physically awful How to simplify focus and stay composed through delays, chaos, and pressure What poor communication (and one painful scoring mistake) taught me about teamwork The mental difference between avoiding a weakness and training through it Why gratitude is the fastest way to reset mid-round and regain confidence How emotional awareness off the course—like parenting guilt or stress—affects your game and composure on it Buckle up for an exciting, relatable ride navigating plenty of highs and lows during an epic Member-Guest weekend.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Key Takeaways: Control the controllables, shrink the focus. Limited energy forced me to narrow attention to a few keys—hydration, tempo, target. Gratitude regulates performance. A 60-second gratitude reset shifted me from frustration to neutral and sparked a strong finish. Communication is strategy. Score-checking and slowing down on tap-ins would've saved a hole; over-communicate under stress. Bunker avoidance isn't a plan. Weakness avoidance became a liability; targeted reps + one committed technique are mandatory. Course management beats ego. Long irons and conservative lines kept us in play and in matches—even without driver. Blissful boredom wins. Treat each shot as routine; remove drama to keep execution steady through delays and chaos. Team > hero shot. Celebrate partners' contributions as much as your clutch moments; it strengthens trust when it matters. Key Quotes: "I had zero energy—so I spent it on the only three things that moved the needle." "Gratitude was my reset button; it pulled me from anger back to neutral." "Avoiding a weakness is not a strategy—it's a ticking time bomb." "When the day goes sideways, shrink the goal to one shot and one breath." "Over-communicate scores under pressure; assumptions are expensive." "Blissful boredom is a superpower—routine drains the drama out of big moments." "Winning our flight wasn't one swing; it was two teammates honoring their roles."

Strength In Weakness: A series through 1 & 2 Samuel

Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Powerful Weakness” from 1 Corinthians 4:9-21. The first section of Paul's letter comes to a close with a climactic statement that the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.  In other words, the measure of a person's walk with God is not determined by what he says but by the power of God at work in his life. 

2 Corinthians 12:1-10

Pastor Heather Jarvie shares how, in times of deep heartbreak when words fail, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us and God still hears our cries, drawing encouragement from Romans 8 and Psalm 55. She reflects on praying with people during weekend services and trusting God's presence in suffering.

I'm not interested in achieving balance. From all the great achievers I've met in my life, I've learned that balance is a weakness. When your life is near the end, you don't want to regret all the things left unachieved. So how can you have a healthy life and relationships? There's a more important skill than balance, and that's what I'm discussing in this Mindset Monday.
