This one came in right after I lost power JUST as I was supposed to be recording a full podcast with video for you… so yeah. I hear you, Spirit!(I LOVE that so many of you are responding to these off-the-cuff episodes, by the way!)But, as always, this was perfect timing because today I felt called to talk about trusting in the void and in the magic dark.As many of you know, I've really been going through it — feeling stagnant, like nothing's working. This void has felt heavier than ever, which is how I know something big is about to shift.And it has! I've finally felt ready to create a business mastermind group, to open what I've learned over the years through my own experiences and share it with entrepreneurs who are going through it too.So in this mini episode, I'm talking about WHAT DO WE DO when we're in this space and finding that support to lean on. Because this is really fucking hard and you don't have to do it alone!I'm getting into:realizing that this void comes when you've hit a new level and now have to learn who you are in this new version of youhaving people around you who can meet you energetically and witness your evolutionletting go of your old patterns about successful businesses and money, and clearing out what you thought you knew to rebuild and reassembleusing what's in your toolbox — Human Design, gene keys, astrology — as the roadmap for who you were meant to be and where you are along that path right now

A new MP3 sermon from Covenant Orthodox Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: What Do We Do? Subtitle: 26th Annual STC Speaker: Joseph A.

Today we're starting off with the news of last week's Alabama Supreme Court ruling stating that frozen embryos outside the womb are indeed children. We cover what led to this decision and why it makes complete sense when looking at what frozen embryos actually are. We look at some of the backlash from those arguing that this ruling is the "end of IVF" and why we as pro-lifers need to adjust our thinking when it comes to surrogacy and IVF. Then, Fani Willis is the first female district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, who came to fame when she launched an investigation against former President Donald Trump for attempting to overturn the election result in the state. Now, the case is in jeopardy because it was revealed that she had an affair with the lead prosecutor she hired for the case. We look at her embarrassing testimony as well the multiple churches that seem to be praising her to the point of sacrilege. --- Timecodes: (00:48) Merch & upcoming debate news (03:05) Alabama Supreme Court frozen embryo ruling (38:25) Fani Willis & church sermons --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 972-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' to get a free smart phone with activation!

In today's video, we delve into an uncharted territory, a concept I'm calling "Liminal Space," that ambiguous area on the threshold of something new and transformative. While I pulled together this video in a rush due to a last-minute change in guests, it just might be one of the most important ones yet. I highlight three of the biggest changes happening in the world of work, which include the role of artificial intelligence in our lives and future, the changing expectations of the employee experience, and the current economic uncertainty. I unpack why, despite the relentless march of technology, some things will never become obsolete. Instead, they will evolve, adapting to this new era ahead. This video is an exploration of our transitional phase, standing at the edge of the familiar, staring into an unknown future. It's a bit like walking through a foggy twilight, where the world as we know it is beginning to shape-shift before our eyes. It's unsettling, but remember, no great change ever came without a little discomfort. In this conversation, I also dive into my philosophy about life – the lessons learnt growing up in a funeral home, the value of purpose, the mirage of control, and the art of holding things with an open hand. This is about finding balance between purposeful action and acceptance of uncertainty, a mantra for navigating the paradoxes of our times. But most importantly, this video is a call to arms – a reminder that while this journey is individual, it is far from solitary. We are all navigating this together, and if we can be honest, open, and supportive, we're more than capable of weathering the storm. I hope you'll join me on this exploration. This isn't just a video; it's an invitation - to reflect, to engage, and to journey forward into the fog of the future. As always, it's not just about finding answers, but about asking the right questions. And boy, do we have some questions lined up for you! Tune in, lean in, and let's explore this 'liminal space' together. I promise, it'll be worth the ride. 0:00 - Introduction 2:26 - "The Big Three" | Disruptions Happening Now 2:57 - Artificial Intelligence 11:15 - Expectations of the Employee Experience 17:15 - Economic & Business Uncertainty 21:38 - So, What Do We Do? 23:53 - Sensitivity to Where We're At 28:16 - Keep People Focused on the Problems 33:49 - Redefine Your Swimlane 37:25 - Deconstruct & Reconstruct Your Work 44:43 - Deconstruct & Reconstruct Your Skills 52:49 - Step Forward, But Hold With An Open Hand --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learningtechtalks/support

What do we do when an artist we love does something monstrous? Constance Grady, a culture writer at Vox, talks with Claire Dederer, the author of Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma. They discuss how to reckon with the facts and feelings of consuming art by someone who's done something bad, if it's possible to separate the art from the artist, and what responsibility — if any — comes with being a fan.

Can we still love the work of Hemingway, Polanski, Naipaul, Miles Davis, or Picasso? Should we love it? In this unflinching, deeply personal book that expands on her instantly viral Paris Review essay, “What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men?” Claire Dederer asks: Does genius deserve special dispensation? Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity? Does art have a mandate to depict the darker elements of the psyche? And what happens if the artist stares too long into the abyss? She explores the audience's relationship with complicated artists, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work? In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster to create something great. And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other? Highly topical, morally wise, honest to the core, Monsters is certain to incite a conversation about whether and how we can separate artists from their art. Claire Dederer is a bestselling memoirist, essayist, and critic. Her books include the critically acclaimed Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning, as well as Poser: My Life in Twenty-three Yoga Poses, which was a New York Times bestseller. Poser has been translated into eleven languages, optioned for television by Warner Bros., and adapted for the stage.

WITH DARKNESS AL AROUND, WHAT DO WE DO, FOCUS ON GODS WORD AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD WORKING THROUGH US AND FOR US, ROMANS 8:14

A new MP3 sermon from DTBM, International is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: John & Bonnie Barnett, Missionaries--An Explanation of What Do We Do for the Lord Subtitle: Live Question & Answer Session Speaker: Dr. John Barnett Broadcaster: DTBM, International Event: Sunday Service Date: 12/29/2021 Length: 3 min.

The post John & Bonnie Barnett, Missionaries–An Explanation of What Do We Do for the Lord appeared first on Discover the Book Ministries.

welcome to the nonlinear library, where we use text-to-speech software to convert the best writing from the rationalist and ea communities into audio. this is: Announcing "Naming What We Can"!, published by GidonKadosh, EdoArad, Davidmanheim, ShayBenMoshe, sella, Guy Raveh, Asaf Ifergan on the effective altruism forum. We hereby announce a new meta-EA institution - "Naming What We Can". Vision We believe in a world where every EA organization and any project has a beautifully crafted name. We believe in a world where great minds are free from the shackles of the agonizing need to name their own projects. Goal To name and rename every EA organization, project, thing, or person. To alleviate any suffering caused by name-selection decision paralysis Mission Using our superior humor and language articulation prowess, we will come up with names for stuff. About us We are a bunch of revolutionaries who believe in the power of correct naming. We translated over a quintillion distinct words from English to Hebrew. Some of us have read all of Unsong. One of us even read the whole bible. We spent countless fortnights debating the in and outs of our own org's title - we Name What We Can. What Do We Do? We're here for the service of the EA community. Whatever you need to rename - we can name. Although we also rename whatever we can. Even if you didn't ask. Examples As a demonstration, we will now see some examples where NWWC has a much better name than the one currently used. 80,000 Hours => 64,620 Hours. Better fits the data and more equal toward women, two important EA virtues. Charity Entrepreneurship => Charity Initiatives. (We don't know anyone who can spell entrepreneurship on their first try. Alternatively, own all of the variations: Charity Enterpeneurship, Charity Entreprenreurshrip, Charity Entrepenurship, Charity Entepenoorship, .) Global Priorities Institute => Glomar Priorities Institute. We suggest including the dimension of time, making our globe a glome. OpenPhil => Doing Right Philanthropy. Going by Dr.Phil would give a lot more clicks. EA Israel => זולתנים יעילים בארץ הקודש ProbablyGood => CrediblyGood. Because in EA we usually use credence rather than probability. EA Hotel => Centre for Enabling EA Learning & Research. Giving What We Can => Guilting Whoever We Can. Because people give more when they are feeling guilty about being rich. Cause Prioritization => Toby Ordering. Max Dalton => Max Delta. This represents the endless EA effort to maximize our ever-marginal utility. Will MacAskill => will McAskill. Evidently a more common use: Peter singer & steven pinker should be the same person, to avoid confusion. OpenAI => ProprietaryAI. Followed by ClosedAI, UnalignedAI, MisalignedAI, and MalignantAI. FHI => Bostrom's Squad. GiveWell => Don'tGivePlayPumps. We feel that the message could be stronger this way. Doing Good Better => Doing Right Right. Electronic Arts, also known as EA, should change its name to Effective Altruism. They should also change all of their activities to Effective Altruism activities. Impact estimation Overall, we think the impact of the project will be net negative on expectation (see our Guesstimate model). That is because we think that the impact is likely to be somewhat positive, but there is a really small tail risk that we will cause the termination of the EA movement. However, as we are risk-averse we can mostly ignore high tails in our impact assessment so there is no need to worry. Call to action As a first step, we offer our services freely here on this very post! This is done to test the fit of the EA community to us. All you need to do is to comment on this post and ask us to name or rename whatever you desire. Additionally, we hold a public recruitment process here on this very post! If you want to apply to NWWC as a member, comment on this post with a name suggestion of your choosing! Due to our current lack of diversity in our team, we particularly encourage women, people of color, ...

Others might call me boss, coach or mentor. Today you can call me The Leadership Hacker.   Thanks for listening in. I really appreciate it. My job as the leadership hacker is to hack into the minds, experiences, habits and learning of great leaders, C-Suite executives, authors and development experts so that I can assist you developing your understanding and awareness of leadership. I am Steve Rush and I am your host today. I am the author of Leadership Cake. I am a transformation consultant and leadership coach. I cannot wait to start sharing all things leadership with you   Today's guest on the show is Major General Robert Mixon. He's a retired officer of the U.S. Army. He's a public speaker, author of a few books, and he's the co-founder of Level Five Associates. But before we get a chance to meet with Robert, it's The Leadership Hacker New. The Leadership Hacker News Steve Rush: In the news today, we explore how many of our leadership characteristics and behaviors have changed since the global pandemic. And it turns out that empathy is the go-to leadership skill of the moment. Yes, it can be learned even if we didn't think that was the case. As a brand new fortune 500 CEO, Kirsten Peck of Zoetis, didn't have all the answers as to how a fast growing pet health company was going to survive the pandemic. She'd only ascended to the corner office in January of 2020. So when COVID 19 hit and revved up in the March of 2020, she was feeling quite nervous and anxious and frankly, little overstretched as to whether nearly 12,000 workers, I would imagine. So in one of her COVID era blogs on the company's intranet, Kristin Peck talked not about typical subjects you'd expect new CEOs to be talking around like earnings or sales projections, but something else entirely. The importance of listening. The first step begins with slowing down and spending a lot of time, listening to the challenges people are facing personally and professionally she wrote. Later in a LinkedIn post, she shared her own personal story of raising a child with special medical needs to show it was okay for employees to talk about the reality of what life can be like outside of a tinted glass work window and ask for help if they needed it. She goes on to say what the pandemic did was make everybody realize that we were all the same and we were all in the same storm, but our boats were quite different. We had to become very clear about the importance of listening to people and understanding their needs and being flexible, practically that meant shifting her entire workforce to a different way of working. Largely working from a home model about 70% of Zoetis global workforce actually started working from home and it meant providing beefed up benefits like health care concierge services for caregivers, a student loan repayment program and improved mental health support food services, like an employee assistance program, and Peck efforts seem to have hit the mark. The company employee engagement metrics are higher than they've ever been. Now at 88% and eclipsing the pre-pandemic levels. And who says being empathic is a soft measure? The hard numbers look like the stock price has done very well indeed; from the pandemic to November 8th, Zoetis stock price grew by 38% and it's currently bumping around at all-time highs. She's been recently quoted the saying, if anyone pretended they had all the answers, no one had believed it any way. Despite the crisis and the upheaval, Zoetis is an example of empathy being a core strong foundation and a real metric. And the leadership hack here is dead simple; it starts with just listening. Listen, to understand, not to que your next question. That's been The Leadership Hacker News, if you'd like to hear any interesting stories, we've got some things to share, as you've always done, please keep in touch with us. Start of Podcast Steve Rush: Major General Robert Mixon is our guest on today's show. After being retired from the army, he achieved over three decades of extraordinary leadership success. Not only including the U.S. Army, where he commanded the seventh infantry division and Fort Carson Colorado, and then subsequently he served in an executive leadership position in a number of non-for-profits and for-profit organizations before starting his own organization, Level Five Associates. He's the co-author of Cows in The Living Room: Developing an Effective Strategic Plan and Sustaining it and also of the Amazon bestseller. We're All In: The Journey to World-Class Culture. Rob, welcome to the show. Major General Robert Mixon: Thanks, Steve. It's wonderful to be here with you and your listeners today. Steve Rush: I'm incredibly excited to delve into your very diverse and extensive leadership career. And I thought it would be useful really just to start off where it all began for you? Major General Robert Mixon: Well, it began for me, as growing up the oldest of six children in Georgia and North Carolina, and dreaming about being able to go to college. And as a result of a mediocre level of athletic ability, I was actually recruited to a couple of schools and one of those schools was the army football program at West Point. And I didn't know much about West Point and certainly didn't have any big dreams of being in the army, but I did have dreams of being a college football player. So I know football has different connotations in different audiences here, but I'm talking about the American tackle football. Steve Rush: Sure. Major General Robert Mixon: And I had good enough grades and things worked out where I got a chance to go to West Point and play football for a little while, until I got hurt to the level I couldn't play anymore, but I would entered a world that I'd never dreamed I would enter when I stood out there in the parade field at West Point in the summer of 1970 with about 1400 other young men. And, you know, in about 24 hours, we learned that our lives are going change. If we stayed with this adventure, it would change forever. And so from that experience, four year journey, about 40% of the group, didn't make it through. The 800 plus of us who did graduate in June of 1974, came into a military that was very conflicted. At the end of the Vietnam War, many Americans felt like, you know, the military was to blame for some of the policy decisions that had cause the Vietnam War to end badly. And as a result of the resources behind the military, the draft system went away and we went to a volunteer force, but we were under-resourced. And we struggle for a number of years until we came out of it in the mid-1980s and became truly a world-class military in every respect again, and because we had been before. Steve Rush: Right. Major General Robert Mixon: But I stayed with that journey because I met some men and women who really changed my life because of the leadership role models they represent it, despite the hardships. In fact, I think the hardships bring out the strongest leaders, you know, when things are tough. Steve Rush: Yeah, develops that level of resilience as well, doesn't it? Major General Robert Mixon: Yeah, you know, people who could learn from mistakes, who could underwrite others, who could develop trust and bring it to life. And so I found myself, you know, as a career officer, even though I'd never planned to be, and I was privileged to spend 33 years in uniform and command soldiers, you know, up to a division installation level, which was a wonderful privilege. And then as I realized, you know, it was time for me to open the next chapter. I went into the corporate career in the middle of the depression of 2008/2009, which was another tough learning experience. But again, you know, I was able to learn from others and grow and come out of that and then realized my dream, which was to have my own company, Level Five Associates and help other companies and organizations and leaders. Perhaps not make the same mistakes that I had made. And so that's been my calling now for the last seven years. Steve Rush: Awesome. During your time in the military, you mentioned that there was this time where from the seventies to the mid-eighties, then there was a real shift. What role did the incumbent leadership, if you like in the military play in making that shift happen or was that more of a bottom up change? Major General Robert Mixon: I think it was a two-edged sword Steve, and I say that because there were senior leaders who had to underwrite some of the fundamental changes in our culture. And I think basically in the military, you know, we had a very deeply entrenched culture of compliance, you know, in that mid-seventies timeframe, you know, do what you're told. We're not going to talk about why, you know, we want you to comply. Then with the senior leadership, and I think the junior leadership sort of coming together in a common view of what we should be, we began to develop a culture of commitment where people did what was right, because they wanted to do what was right. And they believed in the leaders that they were with and who they were working for. And that takes years to do, this is not something that happens in a month or, you know, six months, it takes years to do it. But with the senior support and the junior commitment, a level of energy, we were able to move our culture from compliance to commitment. And that was a very significant change in our army. Steve Rush: And how would that manifest itself in today's military? Having evolved from compliance to commitment? Major General Robert Mixon: I think in today's military, as a father of two, in fact, three soldiers. Now one who's on the career path, I have seen that the military culture of commitment is very strong and it's in fact more dependent now on the junior leader level of commitment because the senior leaders now were the ones who were in the transformative junior ranks in the eighties and nineties. And now they're the senior leader. So it's an even stronger movement, I think now towards the importance of why, the importance of commitment, you know, the importance of being an all-in, shameless book promotion. Steve Rush: Yeah, we're going to get into that in the moment actually, because I love the whole philosophy of we're all in, but there is definitely something there isn't there about, if you fundamentally want to shift a culture, you do have to throw your entire self into this, don't you? Major General Robert Mixon: We do, and it has to be from the top down, I think, and the bottom up, it's got to be a two way street where we are all in, because we believe in who we are and what we represent. And we're going to walk the talk and if we're willing to do that, then you can have a level five culture as I call it, where people believe in who we are and what we represent and they bring it every day. They're going to give all they can give to the mission to each other. And there's an element of selflessness here that I think in the military, I learned early on. The mission first, but I think in other organizations, it's not so evident unless the leadership really embodies it and nurtures it among the other leaders in the organization so that it has an enduring quality, you know, culture is never static. It either gets better, it gets worse. And so the culture of commitment is one where you live it every day and then tomorrow we're going to live it again and we're going to keep living it because we know what right looks like. And it's going to be our legacy that we grow leaders who are better leaders than we were at their stage of life. And I think that's a real a real opportunity for us as leaders to do that. Steve Rush: Yeah, it's also a gift, isn't it? Major General Robert Mixon: It's a gift. Steve Rush: In so much as that when you're sharing and partying, encouraging other leaders to be greater leaders, then you're not only sharing your experiences, but you're also guarding their future. Major General Robert Mixon: Yeah, I think so. It's really what I've seen in the companies I've been able to work with in my level five part of the journey now is that many companies and organizations don't have the persistence at the senior leadership to sustain a world-class culture. And it's important that we reinforce each other because this is hard work. Its adult work, one of my leaders used to say. The concept of creating an ecosystem where people want to belong too, takes a lot of effort. And there are sometimes, you know, you get tired. You say, well, shoot, this is too hard. Let me default back to being directive and we'll be compliant. And we'll just, you know, to quote the sort of famous guy, Larry, the cable guy, you know, we'll just get her done, right? And that defaulting back to the directive leadership framework, it causes the culture to erode and the culture can erode very quickly when that happens. Steve Rush: Definitely, so. Now from your corporate career, having left the military and had some senior leadership roles, what was the pivotal moment for you when you thought, right? This is more about me coaching, sharing, and teaching others to come on this journey. What was the moment that made you look to grow your own organization? Major General Robert Mixon: I know it's been so many years of my life working for someone that I had a lot of opportunity to learn from many wonderful people, you know, including General Colin Powell, who's one of the finest leaders I've ever known. And, we all, I think, are deeply saddened by his loss here recently. Steve Rush: That's right, yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: But, you know, I had had the privilege of working with extraordinary men and women who helped shape me as a person and a leader. And I wanted to give back, you know, as I look towards the next chapter in my life, I said, well, where could I make a difference? Where can I give back? And I think the defining moment for me was, you know, once you've had privilege of leading executive level, a number of different organizations, you can take one to two routes in my thinking here. One is, you can sort of, you know, quietly fade away and, you know, turn the mantle over to others and wish them well. And I know a lot of people who do that, and it's a very graceful transition to do that, but I'm wrapped too tightly. And as a result, I couldn't do that easily. I wanted to still be engaged and involved in growing people in organizations. And that's why I went to the level five route, and why I come to work every day looking forward to the opportunity to help other senior leaders grow leaders. Steve Rush: Excellent, I love it. And the fact that you're still doing that today, and this is part of that education and evolution, isn't it? Being on the show, I guess. Major General Robert Mixon: Yeah, that's great. Thanks Steve. Steve Rush: And one of the things that I love about your work is that your writing is really quite innovative. And I love the first book that you co-authored, Cows in The Living Room, and I'm quite a visual. So I have this picture of this huge cow sat in my living room right now. And this is about developing effective strategic plans and sustaining them, tell us a little bit about the concept of where's the Cow in The Living Room Come from? Major General Robert Mixon: Well, you know Steve, we had it, when we wrote the book, we were going to title it, developing effective strategies, sustaining them. And then we shared that idea with our families, you know, spouses, and we got some immediate feedback and the feedback wasn't very good. The feedback was, you got to be kidding me. You know, who's going to read that book, even mom's not going to read that book. And I said, okay, well, what else could we do? And as a result, they gave us great insight about a story about cows in living room. And essentially the story is that there was once a young farmer who wanted to find a wife. So he went to a nearby village and successfully courted a woman, married her and brought her to living home on the farm. As they began their new life together, raising dairy cows and winter began. One day, the wife came in and found that all the cows were the living room. Astonished, she asked why? Her husband replied, well its winter and the barn has no heat. Since we depend on these cows for our living, they need to be inside. Slowly, very slowly, she became more and more accustomed to having the cows indoors. Then after a few months, a neighbor from her village came over to see how she was doing. When she came in the living room, she was shocked to find the dairy cows there calming standing around. What are you doing with council living room she blurted out? To which the wife replied, which cows? And the story here is that most of us have cows in our living room as leaders of organizations, companies, and organizations of all types. And we become used to the cows and we don't see them anymore. So if you don't effectively address your strategic planning process, then basically you're just tolerating the cow's living room. You're not doing anything to heat the bar. And that's really where we got the idea for the title. It wasn't an original thought. In fact, I don't think I've ever had original thought, but in any case, you know, it was catchy and a lot of people have asked about it, and hopefully they liked the book too. Steve Rush: It's a great metaphor, isn't it? Because particularly whether you're visual or auditory, actually in telling the story, it gets people to recognize that we're all creatures of habit actually, and it's dead easy to get used to our environment. And that's when we get comfortable. And when we get too much in control, that's probably when we don't focus on what we need to focus on. Major General Robert Mixon: Well, you know, Steve, 50%, I think of the fortune 500 companies of 30 or 40 years ago no longer exist. And that's because many of them were absorbed in other companies, but also they became complacent and their business model faded and their competition, you know, ate them for breakfast, if you will, because they were more innovative and more driven not to allow their cows in the living room to stay there. Steve Rush: And then your second book, which is not a shameless plug in any way, it's a real, it's an honor to plug it in your behalf. Major General Robert Mixon: Thank you. Steve Rush: We're All In is very much around that connect cultural habits and sustaining in the future. And I just wondered from your perspective, have you ever been party to, or observed an organization successfully lead a culture where they're not all in? Major General Robert Mixon: I have not. I say that because I don't think organizations are truly successful unless they have a world-class culture. They can be successful in a temporal way. They can make a profit for a period of time by just directing the activities or micromanaging the processes, but there's a tipping point. The most successful companies don't allow that directive culture to dominate their way of life. They insist on engaging in involving all the members of the team in the future of the organization. And so I don't know if I addressed the question directly, Steve, but I do believe it takes both heart and mind to create a world-class company, a world-class organization. Steve Rush: Totally buy it. Major General Robert Mixon: And those that I have seen and been part of have had both. Now there are ebbs and flows, but I think that the development of your ecosystem, your culture to a level of where people feel as though they're engaged and they're part of it, they belong. That's where a greatness, the opportunity for greatness resides. Steve Rush: Absolutely, and as part of that developing culture, you pull together what you call your big six leadership principles to develop that culture. And I just thought it'd be great for our listeners to maybe spin through them with you. Major General Robert Mixon: Oh, great. Yeah the six principles again, I learned from basically screwed them up, you know, I have scar tissue from not following these principles. So, now I really believe that we can do better, you know, if we're willing to pay attention and commit to the journey and follow the principles. The first one is set the esbit. A lot of people don't know what an azimuth is. I took it from my military career, but basically the azimuth is the Cardinal direction of your organization. What's your mission? You know, who are we? What do we do? Why do we do it? What's our intent? And then I like intent more than vision because I think vision's kind of fuzzy. Intent is, based on that mission. What's our end state in three to five years? What does success look like?  Then what are the key tasks we have to perform to reach that end state? And then what's our purpose? What's the why? And why are we doing all this? So you have mission and the intent, then you have your values. What do we believe in? And I think you have to define those values as a team because everybody doesn't understand what they are. And then fourth, what is our culture? What are the behaviors that we are going to demonstrate and expect from all of us to bring these values to life? So, setting the esbit is the first of the big six. The second one is listen. And as my mom said, God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. Steve Rush: Yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: But I rarely followed that teaching from my mother. My mom's awesome, but I wasn't a good listener and we don't teach leaders to listen very well, you know, Stephen Covey talks about, are you listening with the intent to understand? Or are you listening with the intent to reply? I would say 90% of the leaders that I've met are in the latter category. We don't really listen with the intent to understand because we don't know how, and as a result we don't demonstrate to others the kind of behavior that really represents listing leadership. And so in the workshops that I do, we we've focus a lot on practical tools for your toolbox to bring these principles to life. The third is trusted in power, you know, empowerment is the manifestation of trust, but trust I think is one of the critical factors in creating this culture where we're all in and you've got to commit to it, and you've got to be willing to do things like underwrites of mistakes or empower others. When the tendency, the powerful tendency is to go do it yourself. That's a learned skill, and I think the best leaders are those who can trust and empower very effectively. The fourth principle is do the right thing when no one's looking. And as we said, depending on this brief swell, but it is not easy. It's not simple and it's not easy. It takes a real commitment on the part of the leadership top to bottom that we're going to do the right thing. And whether someone's looking or not. Unfortunately, there are a lot of circumstances in instances over the past several decades, people, and most recent times when leaders in companies have not done the right thing and there've been disastrous results. The fifth principle is when in charge take charge. And that doesn't mean you have to be loud, profane, abusive. That's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about here is when you're in charge of being the calm in the chaos of having the tactical patients to understand that the first report is usually wrong. To develop others as part of that, being in charge, have that presence. And then the six principles balance the personal and professional, which is not about time. Most people think that balance is about time, a time at work, time home, not really, that's not the case. And I think balance is a battery of energy. Balancing the four battery levels we have all of inside us. The physical, the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and there are tools. There are ways you can do that in yourself and in others to create that sense of balance, which it's a way of being healthy in a framework here, healthy personally and professionally, and really creates the opportunity for people to, as we used to say in the army, be all, they can be. Steve Rush: I love the six principles. They naturally feed each other as well. But the final one ironically feeds through them all and is always consistent, is that balance because without it, you end up either being overworked or stressed or not having the right levels of energy to perform sustainably for the future. And that for me is the one that kind of has the big core all the way through them. So I love the princess. Major General Robert Mixon: Well, thanks Steve. They all are interconnected. In fact when I conduct presentations workshops, I use a gears as the six principles that they're all interconnected, you know, and the whole mechanism of the culture turns as those gears work together with the centerpiece having the right values Steve Rush: And what you've described for most people listening to this would perhaps make loads of sense and be quite academically sensible, but it takes work, doesn't it? It takes real practice and lots of habit forming to make sure that this is part of everybody's routine. How might I start that journey? Major General Robert Mixon: Usually I will go in with the senior leadership and we'll talk about you know, whether they have specific goals in line for a certain, you know, a certain element of the team or whether they want to take the whole organization and move the needle. And most of them want to do the senior leaders upfront, then cascade the big six throughout the organization, as the mechanism to grow their culture to that level five, and I'll be upfront here. I think it takes a couple of years to do this. You know, you can't have it in 30 days. Most of us want everything in 30 days, but you can't have it. You're going to have to develop your culture in a deliberate way. And I use a series of workshops, a small group interaction, and one-on-one executive coaching with senior executives and high potential leaders to help get all these gears in place and move them forward. And specifically we use a strategic planning process to set that three to five-year goal that we want to move the organization toward. So there's an interrelated set of tools that we bring to a team or organization to help them succeed in this journey. Steve Rush: And I suspect the reason it takes some time is that of all of those six cogs moving at different times, we've all probably got some of them moving at different speeds and cadences than the others, right? Major General Robert Mixon: Yes, we do. Steve Rush: Yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: And typically, Steve, but saying yes upfront on, some people will push back a little bit say, well, I don't have time to the esbit. Well, I don't think you have time not to set the azimuth. So we've got to get through that part and, you know, establish our mission and values culture. Then I think the next hard part of the process here is developing listening leaders who really do listen to the intent to understand. Steve Rush: Yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: And we bring some practical tools for them to help do this. One of my favorites that I'll share with you, Steve is the back brief. Steve Rush: Tell us how that works? Yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: There's and old saying about, I don't know what I told you, until you tell me what you heard. Quite oftentimes, I have made this mistake. I get a group of soldiers together, or team members in my corporate life together and say, all right, here's what we've got to get done. But you know, everybody should know what you have to do to make that happen. All right, everybody got it? And they all say, oh yeah, we got it. And they head out and do something completely different. Well, usually you find out that they did something completely different because they didn't hear what you thought you said. And the back brief is a way where they back brief you on what they think they heard before you go out and try and accomplish great things. I think that's a way of confirming that what was said was heard and that's where communication lives, sharing information, email, texts, that's not communication, that's just sharing information. You don't get confirmation what they read was what they thought you wrote. Same with what you said and heard. So I really liked the back brief or confirmation brief as a tool for your toolbox that gives people more clarity across the team as to what are we doing and why are we doing it. Steve Rush: And saves huge amounts of time, retrospectively having to undo stuff that people have set off in the wrong trajectory. Major General Robert Mixon: Yeah. You know, manufacturing companies, I hear that saying over and over, we didn't have time to do it right the first time, but we always have time to go back and do it again. Steve Rush: That's true, very true indeed, yeah. So, given your experience of diverse leadership and teams, what can we really learn from the last couple of years, having gone through quite a lot of crisis, and that would be varied for different people in different organizations that will really help us be more all in. Major General Robert Mixon: I think what the change in our world over the last couple of years has taught us is that we need to have strong fundamentals in order to endure and succeed in crisis. You know, many leaders that I've worked with have come back to me and said, Robert, we went back to the big six when things really got off the rails. We said, okay, wait a minute, let's have a tactical balls here. Let's go back to the big six and let's check our esbit as our esbit intact. Do we have people in the right seat, in the right bus, as Jim Collins said, good, good to great, you know, let's revert back to those big six principles and reaffirm them across our team and organization. And those that did said they were absolutely game-changing and enabling them to keep their team intact, to work through the anxieties and the stress to build bore inclusivity in their teams, despite the fact that they were in many cases in a hybrid world that was all virtual than it went to somewhat virtual. And now, some people are back to being in person, but I don't think we'll ever go back to the way it was in terms of the overall environment. We're going to have to lead through change. We cannot prevent the changes from occurring. You know, our world has changed and it is what it is. It's up to us to effectively adapt to it. And I wrote an eBook here about a year or so ago called Who Saw This Coming? Now, What Do We Do? And you can get it on, on my website, but there I talked about what the crisis was doing to us and how the big six could be our bedrock, our touchstone to get us through it and grow and learn beyond it. Steve Rush: And I guess the esbit for every organization will be different now than it was two years ago, because lots of things that are impacting on all of that purpose behaviors, culture, values. Major General Robert Mixon: You have to check you're esbit on a regular basis and you have to be willing to adapt it. You know, it's I was guilty as a young officer. You know, if I wrote a plan, then we were going to execute the plan. And if the truth changed, so, you know, I'm still not changing the plan. That kind of stubbornness was not healthy. My organizations did perform well when I stuck to the plan and I didn't adapt the plan to the reality that the enemy was out there and had a vote and the environment was changing and had a vote. And the characteristics of my team were changing and had a vote. And I had to be able to adapt to that framework. I was kind of stubborn, I was good at that. Steve Rush: Great lessons. So I get the honor now to hack into your leadership mind, having had all of these leadership experiences and many, many different environments that you've gathered insights and experience from, I'm going to try and get you to get them down to your top three. So what would be your top three leadership hacks? Robert. Major General Robert Mixon: I would say the first would be willing to listen to the ideas of others, try and dispense with your preconceived notions and do a lot more listening than talking. That would be my first one. And it's very difficult to do when you grow up in a world where the leader is expected to be transmitting all the time and not receiving. And I think the opposite is actually true. My second one is develop a perspective where you can have others take more ownership of the decision making. The idea here, trust and. I really had to learn to delegate, but I saw a huge return on investment when I delegated to others. One of the tools I use is called a decision tree. I write out the decisions that I must make in my position, and I tell my leadership team, then you've got the rest of them. So don't come in here and ask me to make decisions that are yours to make. I may challenge you on some of the decisions you make, but you made them. And my job is to help educate you and support you so that you have the tools at your toolbox to make good decisions. So delegation would be my second hack and the first two I've talked about were not easy for me. So I'm not saying this is something you get, you know, in a week or two. I've learned over my journey about them. And the third one I'd say is that, you know, caring leadership has huge second and third order effects in our organization. There's an old saying about, I don't care how much you know, until I know how much you care and that, you know, empathetic leadership is not necessarily sympathetic. There's a big difference between empathy and sympathy. Steve Rush: Huge, yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: And I talk about that in the work I do with teams on emotional intelligence, it really was important for me to develop an appreciation for the value of caring leadership. So those would be my top three leadership hacks Steve. Steve Rush: Great lessons. Thank you for sharing them. Next part of the show we call Hack to Attack. So this is where something in your life or work hasn't worked out as you'd planned, but as a result of the experience, you've now learned from it, and it's now force of good for you. So what would be your Hack to Attack? Major General Robert Mixon: I would say that my Hack to Attack is that I really was not a patient leader for many parts of my life. And I made a lot of mistakes because I acted too much on impulse and instinct, and I didn't do enough of making an assessment of what decision would be the best for the organization at this point in time. Or in my lack of patience I think I sometimes failed to be as vulnerable as I should have been. You know, people need to know when you make a mistake and you need to step up and say that, admit it. It's not weakness. You know, vulnerability is not weakness. Vulnerability is being authentic. And that's what's the essence of Level Five Leadership is. It's being authentic. Steve Rush: Very powerful stuff. So the last thing we do today is give you a chance to do some time travel. So you get to go and bump into Robert at 21 and you get to toe to toe, give him some advice. What do you reckon it might be? Major General Robert Mixon: Ooh, oh boy. Talk about a challenge Steve. This is really awesome here. Robert at 21 was a very driven young man. I don't know where necessarily I got it from, but you know, I was wrapped pretty tightly and I think what advice I would give myself at age 21 is think before you act. Use that, you know, two second pause or ten second pause to say, hey, before I jump off of my tank and go running off into the woods here. Do I really need to get off the tank right now? Or do we all need to, you know, as everybody needs to just be moving, is all forward movement progress, no it's not. All forward moves is not progress. And I'd say, Robert, you got to, you know, mentally slow down sometimes and take a step back and say, okay, what are we doing? What's our esbit here? You know, what's our mission, what's our intent? Don't just, you know, everything has to be in motion all the time, and it's hard. It'd be hard for Robert at 21 to take that because he was a guy in motion and he felt like leadership was, you know, motion, direction, guidance. You know, I was in that seventies culture of being directive. And I thought that's what right looked like because that's what many of my leaders demonstrate it. Steve Rush: Yeah. Major General Robert Mixon: So that's the advice I would give me, hopefully I would listen. Steve Rush: Yeah, it's a really interesting one, isn't it? Because time and culture play out so differently based on historic events and you look at how the military has evolved. It has probably been the biggest evolution in the last 25 years that the military have ever had up until that point. It was pretty much kind of command and control, wasn't it? Major General Robert Mixon: Well, yeah, the command and control discussion is interesting. Steve, because control is the allocation of resources and time and space. And many of us believe that that's what leadership is. It's really not. That's sort of bandaging in my view. Command is presence. It's establishing an environment where people can be effective because they trust you and they believe in each other. Sometimes you have to have some control. I'm not downplaying that, but you've got to figure out where the balance is to go back to the big six of command and control. And I would say the more command and less control the better, but sometimes you've got to work very hard to get to that level of commanding and control. Steve Rush: Yeah, I have this mantra, which is, only control, only the things that you can control and everybody else has got their own. Major General Robert Mixon: That's good advice. That's very good advice Steve. Steve Rush: So Robert, how can we make sure our listeners can hook into the work that you do, maybe get a copy of the books, find out a little bit more about Level five associates. Steve Rush: Yeah, great. Our website is you know, HTTPS www.levelfiveassociatess spell out the five levelfiveassociates.com. I certainly invite any of our listeners to you know, come to the site and you'll learn more about me and the work that we do. And you can contact me by, through website or my email address is robert@levelfiveassociates.com. And you know, we'll circle back with you. If I don't circle back with you, you know, something seriously wrong with me, Steve Rush: We'll make sure that we put some of those links in our show notes as well, Robert. Major General Robert Mixon: Oh, thanks, Steve. It was wonderful speaking with you. Steve Rush: And it's been a real honor having you on the show Robert. I love that the six principles, I think there are really great philosophy for leading teams and culture. So we'll do our best to help share this message with our global audience. Major General Robert Mixon: Well, thanks, Steven. I wish you continued success with The Leadership Hacker program and the good work you've been doing. Steve Rush: Thanks very much Robert.

What Do We Do with The Gifts?  Whatever God wants! Part of our training is learning to depend on God for instructions on what to do with them, and when. For instance, with our healing example, Jesus passed by many people whom He did not heal to get to the one the Father wanted to heal. We learn the discipline of dependence in using the gifts; they are not for us, they are not for others, they are an extension of God's will and purpose, which is to give His love. HE ALONE chooses how this is done! Very often we interrupt God's purposes in others' lives because we step in with encouragement, financial help, even prayer—right when God is getting them to the place where He can break their independence! So the more we are tuned to His small voice, the more we see what the Father is doing, and join Him in His purposes; the more we will tune out the cries of the people, and our own needs as well.  

Authors, let's just admit it. We're insecure. Writing is communication and we want to make sure that our readers are getting what we're putting down (Translation: Understanding what we're saying). SO, WHAT DO WE DO? We over-explain. And that over-explaining slows down our pacing and makes our reader not want to read anymore. THERE ARE LOTS OF BIGGER WAYS OF OVEREXPLAINING. And what is overexplaining? It's when you just keep adding things on to make your reader get what you're saying. Like this: Shaun punched the wall. He was so angry he could spit. His hands clenched into tight fists. “What kind of butthead are you?” he roared. So, all four of those sentences tell us the same thing. Shaun is angry. You can cut down that to one or two and the reader is still going to get it. Trust the reader's brains. Trust yourself. HERE'S A REWRITE. Shaun punched the wall. “What kind of butthead are you?” But it's not just in long passages that us writer people do this. We do it in short bits too. HERE ARE SOME BIG ONES. She shrugged her shoulders. (She shrugged) He nodded his head in agreement. (He nodded) or (He agreed) They shook their head no. (They shook their head) He looked at his watch to check the time. (He checked the time) OTHER THINGS WE DO IS Tell something that we just showed. (Shaun punched the wall. He was so angry.) Add in a dialogue tag that we don't need, (the she said/they asked) when we don't need it. Add in silly adverbs that we don't need. Add in a bunch of statements all saying the same thing. (See that original example). Acting like the reader is stupid. (Of course we know the person is nodding their head. We don't think they are nodding their butt.) Info dumps WHEN YOU DO THIS OVER-EXPLAINING THING YOU: Slow down the pace Ruin the subtext. Break my heart. Make the scenes dull. Over-explaining takes out the pizzazz. It takes away the immediacy and the forward motion of the plot and scene. WRITING TIP OF THE POD Be all one and done, people. Trust the reader to get it. Trust your skills to communicate well.

“Altogether, these and many other scriptures make it very plain; That there is a day with the opportunity to believe and there's a door that stands open, but eventually it will close. And now today is the day of salvation.” - Pastor Jeff CranstonHello Kitchen Table Theology Family! In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton continue in our series of The Doctrine of Hamartiology. So far in this series, we've covered The Lostness of Man, the Inevitable Results of Lostness, the Future Destiny of the Lost, and today we discuss and respond to a question that many people often wonder about. [00:01] Is There Another Chance to Choose to Follow Christ After Death? A second chance after death is a great incentive to be as wicked as possible in your earthly life Christ clearly teaches there is no option for changing our eternal destiny in the afterlife (Luke 16)All people experience death once and then come into judgment (Hebrews 9:27) [07:19] What The Bible Says About Annihilationism and PurgatoryAnnihilationism: Unbelievers will be wiped out or annihilated sometime after their deathPurgatory:  An area of limbo or transition, in which souls could dwell and then later, reach heaven. From the Roman Catholic tradition based on the extra-biblical book of 2 MaccabeesIn scripture we see How we cannot change our eternal destination (Luke 16: 19-31)All creation, believers, and unbelievers will bow to Jesus at the end of time (Philippians 2:9-11)All that remains for the unbeliever is judgment (Rev 20:14-15)God, in His abundant grace, has given us many second chances to respond to salvation in Christ [12:36] The Kingdom of God Is At HandTrust in Jesus that  if something is right and true, He would have told us in His WordThere is an urgency and immediacy about entering God's kingdom (Matt 4:17, Luke 13:24) There is a day with the opportunity to believe and there's a door that stands open, but eventually, it will closeToday is the day of salvationIn Luke 19:41-44, we see Jesus cry over Jerusalem, sheep without a shepherd, who didn't recognize their day of visitation  [17:55] What Do We Do as Believers?    As Christians, we should have a sense of urgency about God's Kingdom. We are commanded to go to the ends of the earth to share the gospelClosing words Key Quotes“Our eternal destiny is determined by our earthly life. After this life, the only options that exist are eternity with Christ, or eternity apart from Christ.”  - Pastor Jeff Cranston “In fact, the Lord offers many of us many chances to accept salvation on this earth. And many people have been given and are being given multiple opportunities to respond to him. And when we understand that, our second chance is already here.”  - Pastor Jeff Cranston Join the ConversationWe love your feedback! If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review.

If you want to grow in exercising the gifts, wouldn't you rather rely on God's sovereign desire and ability to stir up and train you in the supernatural gifts, than on being in the right place at the right time to receive from the right people in the right way? (One test is, would an approach work if you were stranded alone on a desert island without the scriptures or anyone else to help you but God? If you need God plus something else you are not submitting to His full sovereign authority.) What Do We Do with The Gifts?  Whatever God wants!

Some of you may have a hard time with this explanation, and that's fine. This description accommodates the scriptures just as clearly as any other, it makes sense and works when tested. But if you want to abide by another teaching, that's fine as well. Consider, though, that if you want to grow in exercising the gifts, wouldn't you rather rely on God's sovereign desire and ability to stir up and train you in the supernatural gifts, than on being in the right place at the right time to receive from the right people in the right way? (One test is, would an approach work if you were stranded alone on a desert island without the scriptures or anyone else to help you but God? If you need God plus something else you are not submitting to His full sovereign authority.) What Do We Do with The Gifts?  Whatever God wants! Part of our training is learning to depend on God for instructions on what to do with them, and when. For instance, with our healing example, Jesus passed by many people whom He did not heal to get to the one the Father wanted to heal. We learn the discipline of dependence in using the gifts; they are not for us, they are not for others, they are an extension of God's will and purpose, which is to give His love. HE ALONE chooses how this is done! Very often we interrupt God's purposes in others' lives because we step in with encouragement, financial help, even prayer—right when God is getting them to the place where He can break their independence! So the more we are tuned to His small voice, the more we see what the Father is doing, and join Him in His purposes; the more we will tune out the cries of the people, and our own needs as well.

Dr. Tracy Gapin joins us today as we’re digging into how to optimize male fertility so that you can get pregnant naturally. For many men setting up a consult with a doctor or a urologist is the hardest part of the fertility process. I’ve spoken with so many couples that are struggling with infertility and many tell me that the male partner has not even been examined or received a semen analysis – while the female partner has undergone extensive testing. This is not to blame the man. Similar to how women may feel that femininity is wrapped up in motherhood. Men may feel emasculated and experience guilt, shame, and low self-worth when they are on the fertility journey. As you learned last week sperm counts have dropped by more than 50% over the past 40 years. It is essential that the male partner fully participates in the process as you prepare for pregnancy success. That’s why our proven Fab Fertile Method includes the partner. As is the case with egg health – it is important not to myopically focus on semen quality – but to look at the healing opportunities in the whole body – because improving overall health positively impacts the health of the sperm. I’m excited to welcome Dr. Tracy Gapin MD, FACS is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health & performance expert, best-selling author, and professional speaker. In this episode you'll learn: 1) Common themes with male fertility from a urologist so you don’t miss crucial healing opportunities 2) Getting to the bottom of hormonal imbalance and low testosterone and why testosterone therapy is a band-aid approach. 3) How to check for a Varicocele. How effective is a vasectomy reversal? What to do if there is no sperm can this be improved? 4) Addressing gut health, environmental toxins exposure, nutrition, epigenetics, mindset, stress, and more so that semen quality can be restored.

EVERYONE IS EMOTIONAL EMOTIONS ARE GOOD… EMOTIONS ARE GOOD… WHEN THEY ARE SUBMITTED. When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.2 Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples 3 and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers[a] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”MATTHEW 11:1-6 Doubt: to be uncertain about; consider questionable or unlikely; hesitate to believe.I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE. “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” 19 And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” 20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out[d] and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”MARK 9:17-24Then Jesus *came with them to a place called [a]Gethsemane, and *told His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me;MATTHEW 26:36-41THE PRESENCE OF DOUBT IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FAITH.WHAT DO WE DO?CHOOSE TO BELIEVE BEFORE FEELING LIKE BELIEVINGSEEK GOD.And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed,MATTHEW 26:36-41

When it comes to making decisions, it can be rather difficult especially when deciding what's the next step in life. For this episode, we'll look into the choice of deciding to go to university and what happens after you graduate from university.Join us with another guest for Episode 6 of Season 2!

This is a replay of the LIVE show titled, 'It's My Friday!' with Scott Stanfield streaming on Linkedin & Facebook @ScottRStanfield Wil & Scott discuss what it was like for Wil to be called up to serve in the Reserves during Covid, what hospitality looks like moving forward and his podcast Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast. Scott was a guest on Wil's podcast for 3 episodes on April 3, 10 & 17, 2019. Click here it listen. Wil Slickers on How the Good Morning Hospitality LIVE show came about: GoodMorningHospitality.com Wil Slickers, host of Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast, has joined forces with modern noise monitoring company NoiseAware and membership-based zero commission hotel booking platform Bidroom to launch a new hospitality morning show, Good Morning Hospitality, which will go out live every Monday morning in the United States. At a time when many businesses have closed down or risen during the last seven months with Covid-19, Slickers, the host of Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast, is determined to create with new “game changers” in the hospitality space by joining forces with NoiseAware and Bidroom to create a new hospitality morning show which will go live every Monday morning. WHAT DO WE DO? Unlike the regular Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast program, in which industry expert and creator of the inaugural Destinationaire Award, Wil Slickers, interviews some of the biggest names in the vacation rental, hotel and restaurant industries, Slickers and his new co-hosts, Michael Goldin, director of business development at NoiseAware, and Michael Ros, CEO of Bidroom, formed Good Morning Hospitality to be a new way for hospitality professionals in all segments to engage, stay informed, and even be featured on the show as they go live on all platforms at the start of each working week. Slickers said: “I love running Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast and nothing will stop that. It's become very popular and I am publishing more episodes than ever to keep up with the demand. “After I did an episode with Michael Goldin, he and I both recognized we had a lot more fun than expected and started thinking of ways we could do something like that more often. Once the name came to life, we realized we were really on to something cool and exciting! “We wanted to get a third co-host on the show who wasn't in short-term rentals and could bring a cool dynamic to the show,” he added. Goldin said: “Wil and I had a lot of fun together and “talking shop” on his podcast and I was definitely excited to find ways to keep doing this! I am a big fan of Monday mornings, so the concept for Good Morning Hospitality was even more exciting as I knew it would be something new and exciting for both short-term rentals and hotels.” Ros from Bidroom recently recorded a podcast episode with Slickers and will bring something new to the table when it comes to hotels and how people book them.

What Now? - Week 1 - What Do We Do? by The Summit Church

Hello friends, and welcome in to the show. I hope you are staying safe out there! This Sunday, yesterday, was the first time in over 25 years of ministry that I have been part of a church that cancelled the Sunday gathering for anything that wasn't storm - snow/tornadoes/hurricane related. It was heart-wrenching to do so. I think it was the right choice, but it bothers me in a deep place, and I guess that's the thing about leading in a crisis - sometimes there is no GOOD choice. May the Lord give us all wisdom as we navigate through this time! I read a quote today from a school superintendent who said, " “In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be QUITE apparent if we under reacted or did too little.” If you are interested, we live-streamed our worship and prayer time, and I preached - from the Living room of our house, with family present - on "Pandemic wisdom." You can watch the video here: CLICK HERE. Note that we had a little bit of lighting and sound difficulties, but it was our first time broadcasting worship, word and prayer from our house. I think we'll learn from it and improve, Lord willing. Stay safe out there, brothers and sisters and radiate the love and comfort of grace through His Word and His Gospel! Today's passages are Exodus 27, Proverbs 3, John 6 and Galatians 2. Our focus passage is in John 6, and it is honestly one of the most controversial passages in the entire Bible. For one, Jesus addresses head on a topic that I have seen many Christians and some churches split over: predestination. Perhaps more jarringly, John 6 contains this remarkable and jarring verse: 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day, 55 because my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. John 6:53-56 Honestly, if I had been one of Jesus' disciples and heard Him say this, I might have pulled Him aside and did what Peter did when Jesus announced His plans to be crucified. I'd have tried to dissuade Him from speaking on such a topic. I suppose I would have received the same as Peter did, but the fact remains that this particular teaching of Jesus is worded in such a way that we are stunned to read it, and wonder what in the world Jesus could be referring to. Let's read John 6 together, and then come back and discuss it. Where does Food come from? Kids today would say Walmart, or Safeway, or Publix. People one hundred years ago would say that food came from plants and animals...from the fields and hunting the forests. Vastly different today. Similarly, if I were to ask you- what is the staple food of our region? What food do all of us live on? That would be an odd question, because we live on such a wide variety of food. Billions, however, around the world would answer that question with “rice” or “rice and fish”  Similarly, in first century Israel, the people ate bread and fish as their staple food. Morning, noon and evening. That was their food. Bread was their sustenance. That was their food. Keep that in mind today as we listed to Jesus teach us through His word.  One more question: Why do you work? Well, I guess to make money, right? Why do you make money? To buy stuff, and pay bills on the stuff that you already bought. Here’s the thing - in the first century….something like 85 percent of laborers wages went to FOOD. So if you asked them then why do you work, they would look at you and say, “why, i work to eat!” These things we need to understand in order to get John 6.  I’ma go all Bible code on you for a moment:  The word bread appears 250 times in the entire Bible. There are 1189 chapters in the Bible, hence the word appears, on average, 1 in every 4.8 chapters. In John 6, however, the word bread appears an astounding 19 times - at a frequency OVER 95 times greater than what is to be expected. This is one way we can arrive at the theme of a passage.  :)  The topic of predestination is, as mentioned earlier, one of the most controversial theological topics there is. It might just be #1. I have seen 3 families leave one church - 11 years ago, or so - because two people that were not teaching brought up the topic of predestination at a Wednesday night Bible study, and signalled that they agreed with it. So, I don't intend to ignite a controversy amongst listeners, but lets at least brush by this issue, in preparation for a deeper dive coming up soon: 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me,...39 I should lose nothing of all that he has given me...44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. (more than just about His disciples) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” John 6 This is an incredible summary of how biblical predestination works: the John 6:68-70 dialog.  There will be some in the sovereignty camp who focus exclusively on Jesus’ words - “Have I not chosen you, the twelve?” OTOH, there will be some in the freewill camp that focus on Peter’s words - “You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed.” Both are true...Followers of Jesus have made real, unforced genuine decisions to believe in Him, as Peter has said. Likewise, as Jesus has noted - He chose them, not vice-versa. (John 15:16), and nobody can come to Jesus unless they are drawn first by the Father. BOTH are true. I believe Jesus’ words are above Peter’s words, just as I believe that the sovereignty of God over -arcs man’s freewill...but both are real and true.  When it comes to salvation, I believe that the greatest power/force is not choice, but God’s sovereignty. God’s sovereignty does not at all nullify free will or choice, but it does dwarf those things. If you have strong opinions about this issue, then you are welcome to them...just be sure that your grandest focus is on Jesus, the Gospel, the greatest commandments and the Great Commission. And now, to the even more stark words of Jesus in this passage: "Eat my flesh and drink my blood" is a powerful way of speaking, and I believe Jesus did so here intentionally. But that sort of speech isn’t one hundred percent foreign to our way of speaking. We speak of “devouring a book” or “drinking up a lecture”, or “chewing over an idea” or “ruminating (chewing the cud) over a decision.” Is Jesus talking about communion here? I think the non-simple answer here is that Jesus is not completely talking about communion here...but there is a very real connection. Go to the Last Supper - note how Jesus held up the bread and said that it was His body broken for them, and the juice was His blood spilled for them. Rather than John 6 looking forward to communion, and ultimately indicating that people would really eat Jesus’ flesh in communion...I believe that The Last Supper passage looks back at John 6, where Jesus is reminding His disciples that they are called to a daily bread type following of Him. And that His body and blood, broken and shed on the cross, were DAILY life to them as believers. The Gospel that saved them would be the Gospel that sustained them DAILY - just as bread and juice sustained their biological life. They could no more live without the daily intake of Jesus' broken body and blood (through faithful believing in the good news/abiding in Jesus) than they could live without daily food.  In an Agrarian society - a farm society, they understood something that we don’t. In order for life to be sustained, one has to consume dead things. Life is sustained by the death of something else. When Jesus fed the thousands - they ate dead wheat, dead fish. When we go to Chik Fil A - we are eating dead chicken, dead wheat, dead pickles. Things that had to die in order to sustain us. Jesus is saying to us and to His true followers that the ONLY way for Him to give us eternal life is for Him to DIE and us to DAILY consume Him. Apart from daily abiding in Jesus (John 15) then we are able to do nothing. Just like you are weak apart from daily liquid and caloric intake. Apart from Jesus - we will die. We have a one time view of the Gospel - we believe it ONCE (deciding to follow Jesus) and then we are good to go. This is absolutely FOREIGN to Jesus’ teaching. Instead, He calls us to follow Him daily taking up our cross. He calls us to daily bread.  You want to see how this works? Try eating one meal a month. Or in a lifetime. It doesn’t work that way and neither does faith. (Credit to Dr. D.A. Carson here for some of the verbiage - from his book, "For the Love of God.") 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”30 So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst John 6:25-35 When the people found Jesus He says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves” What does that mean? It means that they were looking for more food. Another miracle...but they didn’t understand what that miracle SIGNified or signified. In this particular case, the people were seeking Jesus at a surface level - for another miracle...more food. They didn’t realize He was giving them a SIGN that He was the Living Bread - that He was to be their sustenance and their life. After He told them that, He told them not to WORK for the food that perishes (in other words, not to have a WORK based approach to God)  But it zoomed over their head. How did they respond to that? They asked, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”  They are religionists. They have the typical mindset of religion, which is a viewpoint of God that if we scratch His back, then He will scratch ours. In other words, what can we do for God to get Him to do what we want/need. Its paganism, quid pro quo - tit for tat. And it is the dominant religious view in America. WHAT DO WE DO to PLEASE GOD (so that He can please us?)  Jesus, probably shaking His head, said - The work that God requires is to BELIEVE ON ME. Sheesh! The arrogance and fanaticism of this guy! If you were reading this book as an atheist or non-believer, you would read this as the stark saying that it is. “Are you kidding me? The thing that makes God happy is to believe in THIS GUY? Who the heck is He?” And the Jews understand what Jesus is saying here, and they demand that He prove that He is worthy of that kind of faith. One day of feeding the thousands isn’t enough to prove it. Maybe bread for them for years might be...They demand that Jesus keep providing for them TEMPORAL blessings. Bread that would have fed their bodies for years, but done NOTHING to stave off death! In the present, looking back hundreds of years - what good would that temporary bread have done them? If that is all that Jesus did for them...then they would be long dead and hellbound with stomachs full of miracle bread. Big whoop.  Even today hundreds of millions of “Christians” think this way. We have a child in the hospital...what can we do to make God hear our prayers and heal our child? We have a big exam to take - how can we make God happy with us so that we can pass our exam? How can we get God to give us what we need? There is a pandemic of coronavirus spreading and killing people...how can we get God to hear our prayers of protection and healing?! That is the view of God that most “Christians” in America STILL HAVE.  But here’s the thing with God - He is perfectly happy in and of Himself. He is not lonely (Trinity = perfect relationship) He is perfectly content. PERFECTLY. What does that mean? It means He needs nothing!!! Have you ever tried to shop for the person that has everything? Its’ hard - even though nobody truly has everything. BUT -God does. He has everything. We have nothing that can persuade Him. Its like trying to bargain with Warren Buffet with a penny. God needs nothing. He has never needed anything. That means that there is no bargaining with God. No tit for tat - no “I’ll do this if you do that.” He has no needs. None.    So, knowing God is fully content, and possesses everything - how can we please Him? And here is the radical, freeing answer...Have faith in Jesus - Follow Jesus with your life.   That is mind blowing and revolutionary - even to some of you listeners to this podcast. Your job is not to please God with what you do - but who you believe in. Who you believe in and the faith that is in Jesus is the very thing that will actually empower and enable you to do all of the deeds that God calls you to do, but yet doesn’t need you to do. Faith without deeds is dead says James, but we show our Faith (which comes first) by what we do - which is an outflow of faith in Jesus.    We must stop trying to EARN our way into God’s graces. You’ll never, ever, ever do it. It will wear you out and make you bitter and hateful. You KNOW people like that. burnt out on church and burnt out on God. Bitter. Angry. Sad. Forlorn. Always feeling rejected. In so many cases - they tried to buy their way into heaven by doing good deeds, by going to church, reading the Bible and everything they did fell short, because they didn’t have enough good deeds to buy their way into God’s graces. The only thing that doesn’t fall short is having the kind of faith in Jesus that produces fruit and actions. The very thing they never tried.  And now - what of you? Are you tired of working for bread that is here today and gone tomorrow? Are you weary of trying to please God and always wondering where you stand to Him. I have a direct word from Jesus to you. COME TO ME ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. Believe. 

Hello friends, and welcome in to the show. I hope you are staying safe out there! This Sunday, yesterday, was the first time in over 25 years of ministry that I have been part of a church that cancelled the Sunday gathering for anything that wasn't storm - snow/tornadoes/hurricane related. It was heart-wrenching to do so. I think it was the right choice, but it bothers me in a deep place, and I guess that's the thing about leading in a crisis - sometimes there is no GOOD choice. May the Lord give us all wisdom as we navigate through this time! I read a quote today from a school superintendent who said, " “In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be QUITE apparent if we under reacted or did too little.” If you are interested, we live-streamed our worship and prayer time, and I preached - from the Living room of our house, with family present - on "Pandemic wisdom." You can watch the video here: CLICK HERE. Note that we had a little bit of lighting and sound difficulties, but it was our first time broadcasting worship, word and prayer from our house. I think we'll learn from it and improve, Lord willing. Stay safe out there, brothers and sisters and radiate the love and comfort of grace through His Word and His Gospel! Today's passages are Exodus 27, Proverbs 3, John 6 and Galatians 2. Our focus passage is in John 6, and it is honestly one of the most controversial passages in the entire Bible. For one, Jesus addresses head on a topic that I have seen many Christians and some churches split over: predestination. Perhaps more jarringly, John 6 contains this remarkable and jarring verse: 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day, 55 because my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. John 6:53-56 Honestly, if I had been one of Jesus' disciples and heard Him say this, I might have pulled Him aside and did what Peter did when Jesus announced His plans to be crucified. I'd have tried to dissuade Him from speaking on such a topic. I suppose I would have received the same as Peter did, but the fact remains that this particular teaching of Jesus is worded in such a way that we are stunned to read it, and wonder what in the world Jesus could be referring to. Let's read John 6 together, and then come back and discuss it. Where does Food come from? Kids today would say Walmart, or Safeway, or Publix. People one hundred years ago would say that food came from plants and animals...from the fields and hunting the forests. Vastly different today. Similarly, if I were to ask you- what is the staple food of our region? What food do all of us live on? That would be an odd question, because we live on such a wide variety of food. Billions, however, around the world would answer that question with “rice” or “rice and fish”  Similarly, in first century Israel, the people ate bread and fish as their staple food. Morning, noon and evening. That was their food. Bread was their sustenance. That was their food. Keep that in mind today as we listed to Jesus teach us through His word.  One more question: Why do you work? Well, I guess to make money, right? Why do you make money? To buy stuff, and pay bills on the stuff that you already bought. Here’s the thing - in the first century….something like 85 percent of laborers wages went to FOOD. So if you asked them then why do you work, they would look at you and say, “why, i work to eat!” These things we need to understand in order to get John 6.  I’ma go all Bible code on you for a moment:  The word bread appears 250 times in the entire Bible. There are 1189 chapters in the Bible, hence the word appears, on average, 1 in every 4.8 chapters. In John 6, however, the word bread appears an astounding 19 times - at a frequency OVER 95 times greater than what is to be expected. This is one way we can arrive at the theme of a passage.  :)  The topic of predestination is, as mentioned earlier, one of the most controversial theological topics there is. It might just be #1. I have seen 3 families leave one church - 11 years ago, or so - because two people that were not teaching brought up the topic of predestination at a Wednesday night Bible study, and signalled that they agreed with it. So, I don't intend to ignite a controversy amongst listeners, but lets at least brush by this issue, in preparation for a deeper dive coming up soon: 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me,...39 I should lose nothing of all that he has given me...44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. (more than just about His disciples) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” John 6 This is an incredible summary of how biblical predestination works: the John 6:68-70 dialog.  There will be some in the sovereignty camp who focus exclusively on Jesus’ words - “Have I not chosen you, the twelve?” OTOH, there will be some in the freewill camp that focus on Peter’s words - “You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed.” Both are true...Followers of Jesus have made real, unforced genuine decisions to believe in Him, as Peter has said. Likewise, as Jesus has noted - He chose them, not vice-versa. (John 15:16), and nobody can come to Jesus unless they are drawn first by the Father. BOTH are true. I believe Jesus’ words are above Peter’s words, just as I believe that the sovereignty of God over -arcs man’s freewill...but both are real and true.  When it comes to salvation, I believe that the greatest power/force is not choice, but God’s sovereignty. God’s sovereignty does not at all nullify free will or choice, but it does dwarf those things. If you have strong opinions about this issue, then you are welcome to them...just be sure that your grandest focus is on Jesus, the Gospel, the greatest commandments and the Great Commission. And now, to the even more stark words of Jesus in this passage: "Eat my flesh and drink my blood" is a powerful way of speaking, and I believe Jesus did so here intentionally. But that sort of speech isn’t one hundred percent foreign to our way of speaking. We speak of “devouring a book” or “drinking up a lecture”, or “chewing over an idea” or “ruminating (chewing the cud) over a decision.” Is Jesus talking about communion here? I think the non-simple answer here is that Jesus is not completely talking about communion here...but there is a very real connection. Go to the Last Supper - note how Jesus held up the bread and said that it was His body broken for them, and the juice was His blood spilled for them. Rather than John 6 looking forward to communion, and ultimately indicating that people would really eat Jesus’ flesh in communion...I believe that The Last Supper passage looks back at John 6, where Jesus is reminding His disciples that they are called to a daily bread type following of Him. And that His body and blood, broken and shed on the cross, were DAILY life to them as believers. The Gospel that saved them would be the Gospel that sustained them DAILY - just as bread and juice sustained their biological life. They could no more live without the daily intake of Jesus' broken body and blood (through faithful believing in the good news/abiding in Jesus) than they could live without daily food.  In an Agrarian society - a farm society, they understood something that we don’t. In order for life to be sustained, one has to consume dead things. Life is sustained by the death of something else. When Jesus fed the thousands - they ate dead wheat, dead fish. When we go to Chik Fil A - we are eating dead chicken, dead wheat, dead pickles. Things that had to die in order to sustain us. Jesus is saying to us and to His true followers that the ONLY way for Him to give us eternal life is for Him to DIE and us to DAILY consume Him. Apart from daily abiding in Jesus (John 15) then we are able to do nothing. Just like you are weak apart from daily liquid and caloric intake. Apart from Jesus - we will die. We have a one time view of the Gospel - we believe it ONCE (deciding to follow Jesus) and then we are good to go. This is absolutely FOREIGN to Jesus’ teaching. Instead, He calls us to follow Him daily taking up our cross. He calls us to daily bread.  You want to see how this works? Try eating one meal a month. Or in a lifetime. It doesn’t work that way and neither does faith. (Credit to Dr. D.A. Carson here for some of the verbiage - from his book, "For the Love of God.") 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”30 So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst John 6:25-35 When the people found Jesus He says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves” What does that mean? It means that they were looking for more food. Another miracle...but they didn’t understand what that miracle SIGNified or signified. In this particular case, the people were seeking Jesus at a surface level - for another miracle...more food. They didn’t realize He was giving them a SIGN that He was the Living Bread - that He was to be their sustenance and their life. After He told them that, He told them not to WORK for the food that perishes (in other words, not to have a WORK based approach to God)  But it zoomed over their head. How did they respond to that? They asked, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”  They are religionists. They have the typical mindset of religion, which is a viewpoint of God that if we scratch His back, then He will scratch ours. In other words, what can we do for God to get Him to do what we want/need. Its paganism, quid pro quo - tit for tat. And it is the dominant religious view in America. WHAT DO WE DO to PLEASE GOD (so that He can please us?)  Jesus, probably shaking His head, said - The work that God requires is to BELIEVE ON ME. Sheesh! The arrogance and fanaticism of this guy! If you were reading this book as an atheist or non-believer, you would read this as the stark saying that it is. “Are you kidding me? The thing that makes God happy is to believe in THIS GUY? Who the heck is He?” And the Jews understand what Jesus is saying here, and they demand that He prove that He is worthy of that kind of faith. One day of feeding the thousands isn’t enough to prove it. Maybe bread for them for years might be...They demand that Jesus keep providing for them TEMPORAL blessings. Bread that would have fed their bodies for years, but done NOTHING to stave off death! In the present, looking back hundreds of years - what good would that temporary bread have done them? If that is all that Jesus did for them...then they would be long dead and hellbound with stomachs full of miracle bread. Big whoop.  Even today hundreds of millions of “Christians” think this way. We have a child in the hospital...what can we do to make God hear our prayers and heal our child? We have a big exam to take - how can we make God happy with us so that we can pass our exam? How can we get God to give us what we need? There is a pandemic of coronavirus spreading and killing people...how can we get God to hear our prayers of protection and healing?! That is the view of God that most “Christians” in America STILL HAVE.  But here’s the thing with God - He is perfectly happy in and of Himself. He is not lonely (Trinity = perfect relationship) He is perfectly content. PERFECTLY. What does that mean? It means He needs nothing!!! Have you ever tried to shop for the person that has everything? Its’ hard - even though nobody truly has everything. BUT -God does. He has everything. We have nothing that can persuade Him. Its like trying to bargain with Warren Buffet with a penny. God needs nothing. He has never needed anything. That means that there is no bargaining with God. No tit for tat - no “I’ll do this if you do that.” He has no needs.

Watch the video of this podcast here. A Bit About Andrew Andrew started out in banking in the late 90’s, but after 15 years he realised that he had become an angry young man. It became clear to him when he would talk to people out and about, that there were so many myths out there about finance and he saw so many people that couldn’t manage their own financial affairs. So, he set up a website in 2011 and published a lot of free information which he was able to compile into his best-selling book “How to Own the World”. He describes the book as “an idiots guide to finance with a sophisticated overlay”. Why Is Financial Literacy so Important for People Who Are Self-Employed? With your own business, your income can have an uncertainty to it. You have times when the money is coming in and times when things are slow. However, if you learn about finance and make sensible investments, it won’t be long until you can build a nest egg which can throw off returns itself. The Golden Rule Andrew says that The Richest Man in Babylon, by George Clason, is an odd book but the one thing he took away from it was “Always put 10% of everything you earn into investments”. Sometimes you obviously can’t do this, especially when you are starting out, but as soon as you have income, put 10% of whatever you have made that month either into an investment account or into sensible investments. Having your own business puts you at risk of an impoverished retirement unless you apply this strategy. He explains it like this - if Great Aunt Agatha put $5,000 into a tax-free account (like an ISA) for your newborn baby and you were able to achieve 10% interest rate, how much would that child have on their 55th birthday when they can legally retire? $945,000! So really your biggest ally in investment is time. Securing something like this early on in your life = winning!   Pension Funds. Do We Really Need Them? People tell Andrew that “pension funds are shit” on a regular basis! However, he says that this isn’t true. A pension is a tax sheltered account in which you can do thousands of things. The first thing people may do when they realise that they need to put money away is open a savings account, but keep in mind that if that savings account has an interest rate that is lower than inflation then you are actually losing money. Ok, so What Do We Do from a Base Level? Save 10% of what you earn (unless you are at a development stage in your business then that can be an exception eg. buying equipment) Find the optimal tax sheltered account (He recommends an ISA for those in the UK as it has fewer risks and you can access it when you need rather than at retirement) Set up a direct debit with a quality stock broking firm. He has used eight but has ended up using Hargreaves Lansdown. They are a bit more expensive but they have good customer service and good reputation. AJ Bell also has good reviews. But all that matters is that the company that you use has access to a wide range of investments But I’m Nervous to Invest! If you are conservative and worried, at least just let your cash build up. Although, you may want to listen in at the 21-minute mark to hear why Andrew believes investing is the right option (and he provides more tips on how to do it safely).  One thing that might reassure you is that when you are investing for a nest egg and long-term pension fund over many years, it is completely different to day trading and much less risky. It’s All About the Fundamentals Mike talks about the fact that there are many books these days that are actually easy to read and can help you understand the fundamentals of finance. Some examples are David Lynch’s “Beating the Market” and Warren Buffet’s books which explain that you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to invest. What you do need to know is: What is a share? What is the stock market? What are interest rates? What is inflation? How do you invest sensibly? “If you’re looking to educate yourself about finances, seek out stuff about the fundamentals not about what the latest stock is or the latest fad is” Andrew has a list on his website “The Top 8 best Finance Books of all Time”. If you want to learn the fundamentals, he recommends “The Ascent of Money” by Niall Ferguson.  This book asks “what is money?”. The more knowledge you have on finance, the more interesting it becomes! And to Wrap up… Mike talks about the huge amount of fear around money that we have in the freelance and entrepreneurial world simply because we are not educated on it. I hear you though - who has the time?! But Andrew talks about the importance of not parking this. If you can invest wisely then you have the ability to make the same amount of money from your savings and investments as you made from your business. Get a savings habit and “it’s remarkable how quickly your pot fills”. For those who are interested, there is an app called “Money Box” which Mike and Andrew recommend to help you stick to a savings plan. Tune in to find out more on the history of finance and the trends of the stock market. As I said, this is an important podcast! Andrew talks about ISA accounts which are available in the UK, but we would love to know who you use in your country and any other finance tips that have worked for you.

Acts:  Advancing the Gospel Acts 2:14-41   What Does This Mean? . . .   God has poured out His Spirit for the sake of advancing the gospel through His Church. “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh . . .”  Acts 2:17   God will do something supernatural through signs and wonders on earth and in the heavens. “And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below . . .” Acts 2:19   God will draw people, by His Spirit, to be saved. “And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  Acts 2:21   “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him.  For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  Romans 3:10:12-13   Who Is This Lord? . . .   Jesus was the one sent by God. “Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know . . .”  Acts 2:22   Jesus was God’s plan for salvation. “ . . . this Jesus delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.  God raised Him up loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.”  Acts 2:23-24   Jesus was spoken of by David. The Messiah would be resurrected and exalted. “Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that He would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.  This Jesus, God raised up, and of that we are all witnesses.”  Acts 2:30-32   “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.’”  Acts 2:34-35   Jesus is both Lord and Christ. “Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made Him (Jesus) both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”  Acts 2:36   What Do We Do? . . .   Respond to the conviction of the Spirit of God. “Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’”  Acts 2:37  Repent of your sins and receive the gift of the Spirit. Without repentance of sin there, is no forgiveness of sin. Without the Spirit of God, there is no life.   Become identified with Christ through baptism.
