Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered Full House S3E13: No More, Mr. Dumb Guy, which aired on January 5, 1990. In this episode Jesse feels intellectually challenged after Becky invites him to the Fine Arts Festival and he ends up going head to head or should I say arm to arm with Becky's old college professor Dr. Eric Trent. (the actor is the son of Dick Van Dyke)in a battle of brawn for Becky's affection. Meanwhile Stephanie and DJ little gamer of "telephone" or as Stephanie calls it "Michelle-a-phone" turns turns their sweet little sister Michelle into a little insult monster as she goes around calling everyone "cheese-head". I enjoyed this episode although I thought Becky should have stood up for Jesse after her old professor was insulting Jesse's intelligence and lack of a college education as well as getting his name wrong on purpose. When Jesse tells Michelle that she is smart because he tells her "don't be dumb like me, go to college", I immediately got Aibileen (Viola Davis)from the movie "The Help" vibes as she tells 3 year old May Mobley, "You is Smart, You is Kind, You is Important". I love that scene in the movie. I also loved the song Jesse serenades to Becky "I Belong To You". Join me in late August for the last episode in the SISTERS Double Feature PART 1 when I cover Full House S5E3: Take My Sister, Please, which aired on October 1, 1991. In this episode DJ lobbies for her own bedroom, but Michelle is reluctant to share a room with Stephanie, who is depressed because nobody wants her as a roommate. Have a great weekend everyone!

After graduating from Dartmouth College with a degree in Psychology, Jesse was living out my childhood dream as a soccer goalkeeper. In Africa, he took a prescribed medication to prevent malaria, and it built up toxic levels in my system. Jesse was fighting for his life for a year, and it took ten years to recover. During this time, Jesse's life was transformed in the deepest ways: identity, faith, mindset, habits, career, and relationships. The greatest blessings and growth in life can emerge from the worst situations. This is the grace of God, and the hope's he want to spread. [1:40] You had to take prescribed medication to prevent malaria and it built up toxics levels. Can you take us down the journey and how you found a new mindset? [8:30] How did you use goaltending as precision to development for your life? [17:04] What are the four sentences that improve your relationships in the INNER CIRCLE. And why we continue to use them? [25.10] What is the biggest high pressure situation you had to overcome and how Jesse had to deal with it. [29:45] When Jesse wakes up in the morning what is number one priority that he aim's to?

Just saw a tik tok ripping on “boss babes” and MLMsSo let’s break this down.....Statistically 80% of small businesses fail in their first 5 years Do y’all see the closed doors and empty buildings?!Where is the out cry?! When Jesse opened his first gym his own mother asked what his exit strategy was because she understood the failure rate Most people have to put up their first born to come up with what it takes to start Subways cost $116,000-$262,000 to start McDonalds cost $45,000-$2.2 million to start Small gyms costs $175,000-$300,000 to start (and we know from experience)And let’s not talk about royalty fees and franchise fees.....Oh and do you think the CEO’s or other owners are calling you and helping you?! As a former gym owner we never were NOT there...aka golden handcuffs We constantly had employee turnover We worked for our landlord $7000/month rent When I joined my company I paid $1200 to start EVERYTHING I needed to be successful (And you can start for as low as $50)I made my investment back in 14 days I’ve gone on to create a 6 figure income — very part time I work my business 20-25 hours a week I travel I have freedom I see my husband ALL of the time I decide my hours, my worth, my paycheck I only pay for the products I want each month ($40/month typically) So before you go ripping on something you don’t understand or didn’t work for you (probably because you didn’t work it)Or because your neighbors uncle Bob tried it once and it didn’t work, please remember Network marketing aka mlm isn’t perfect...it’s better

Happy Valentine's Day Tanner Fans, Angela Bowen here the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Tanner Girls In Love Series and the last Valentine's Day episode of Full House. In this episode Michelle gets a boyfriend for Valentine's Day, while Joey gets a secret admirer. When Jesse helps Danny plan an elaborate date with Claire, Rebecca feels neglected. I thought this was a fun episode, Jesse pretending Valentine's Day wasn't that important to him and constantly referring to he and Becky as an "old married couple". I understand Becky's frustration if it were just Valentine's Day that'd be one thing (although even then still no excuse), but it's their wedding anniversary for crying out loud. I'd be angry if I were her. Michelle's second boy/girl relationship (Yes, I'm counting Howie from Season 2) crashes and burns as she becomes little miss demanding and Teddy finally having had enough of Michelle's bossiness ends their relationship. I blame Lisa for that whole mess of having the kids all couple up in class just so she could be with Derek. Also subjecting poor Sophia to Aaron Bailey is, I mean, there's no excuse for that kind of torture. Oh my gosh Miss or Mrs. Carruthers, don't even get me started on her, she's in need of a major no means no lesson and I think she should be fired for harassment of poor Joey. If I hadn't seen this episode before, no way would I have guessed who Joey's secret admirer was. If a secret admirer sent you a gift would you accept it or be suspicious and try to track them down? Kimmy's got weird fantasies that no teenager girl should ever have and Stephanie's crushing on a guy who complains she's too smart because her bag is loaded down with what he thinks is books (it was actually her rock collection) what a wimp. Hey dude, you offered to carry her bag, no intellect shaming. Join me next week for the next episode in the series, Full House S4E22: Stephanie Plays The Field, which aired on March 8, 1991. In this episode Stephanie joins a little league baseball team to be near a boy she likes. Have a great weekend, stay safe and stay warm as this cold front moves through. Gah!

Hey Tanner Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the new series Tanner Girls In Love for February in honor of Valentine's Day. First episode of the series is Full House S2E16: Baby Love, which aired on February 24, 1989. In this episode Michelle develops a crush on Rebecca's nephew. It's sad that Michelle is two and Howie is the first child her age that she has come in contact with. I can now understand why she developed such a close bond or infatuation with him. Danny really should of had Michelle in a play group before age 2, so she could have had the chance to interact with someone her own age, I mean she's surrounded by older kids and adults all day long, how is she going to develop the social skills and form friendships if she doesn't interact with another little kid? Maybe if she had, she wouldn't have been so emotionally crushed by Howie leaving, I mean she would still be sad, but it wouldn't have been as devastating for her. Also Stephanie watches the horror movie The Wolfman (the black and white version)and has trouble sleeping. When I was young I was scared of some movies that weren't actually horror movies, Little Shop Of Horrors, The Burbs, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Witches. But the movie that gave me nightmares for what felt like years was a tv movie called Love, Lies and Murder. I think a lot of it had to do with the actor Clancy Brown, he just looked so frightening. I got over that once I saw Pet Sematary 2 as a teenager. Jesse and Rebecca get into a baby name argument. We know going forward that Dustin (Jesse's Pick) and Prescott (Rebecca's Pick) and not the names they choose for their twin sons. Then again Jesse and Rebecca haven't even been dating for three months yet, what do you think is the appropriate dating time to start naming your future children? 6 Months? A Year? Join me next week when I cover the next installment in the Tanner Girls In Love Series Full House S8E17: Dateless In San Francisco, which aired on February 14, 1995. In this episode Michelle gets a boyfriend for Valentine's Day, while Joey gets a secret admirer. When Jesse helps Danny plan an elaborate date with Claire, Rebecca feels neglected.

Intro: Welcome to the podcast Coronavirus Crisis: Carpe Diem!, where by God's grace, you and I rise up and embrace the possibilities and opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth in this time of crisis, all grounded in a Catholic worldview. We are going beyond mere resilience, to rising up to the challenges of this pandemic and becoming even healthier in the natural and the spiritual realms than we were before. I'm clinical psychologist Peter Malinoski and I am here with you, to be your host and guide. This podcast is part of Souls and Hearts, our online outreach at soulsandhearts.com, which is all about shoring up our natural foundation for the Catholic spiritual life, all about overcoming psychological obstacles to being loved and to loving. This is episode 41, released on November 9, 2020 Thank you for being here with me. and it is the fifth episode in our series on shame. and it is titled: Rewind: Trauma and Shame in King David's Childhood We cover really difficult topics in this podcast -- we go to the really challenging places that other podcasts are unwilling or unable to go. Because we have to. Because people are caught in those places and they are hurting, because people are trapped and people are in danger, they are in peril. And we need to reach out to them. And you know what? We are those people too. We have parts of us trapped in bad places, places we don't understand, places we are afraid of, places that we don't want to go by ourselves, all alone But together, each of us can understand much more of our unconscious. This is the second of a subseries highly experiential episodes -- these episodes are opportunities for experiential learning -- to learn a lot about yourself -- about who you really are, about your history. St. Paul Romans 7:15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Romans 7:18b-19 I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want [that] is what I do. St. Paul doesn't understand himself -- St. Paul, a pillar of virtue, author of half the books in the New Testament, St. Paul, who endured outrageous sufferings, amazing self sacrifice -- he's admitting to being dominated by his unconscious. Isn't a question of willpower -- Paul had extraordinary willpower, hard to imagine many saints that can best him in terms of willpower. It's a question of insight. Of understanding. Won't be complete But we can have much more insight and understanding than we do now. Continuing story of Princess Tamar, Crown Prince Amnon, Prince Absalom, and King David But diving much deeper into in the inner experience of these characters and others Why did they do the things that they did Why did they say the things that they did What were they thinking, feeling, sensing, believing, desiring, seeking And what where they missing, what where they forgetting, not noticing? What made them tick? Through clinical eyes. Much more to the story than the brief account in 2 Samuel 13 We will be using other sources -- e.g. archeology to help us understand the time and culture But also psychological insights about shame, trauma, the motives for the rape, Why -- not just to understand this story and the people this story But to help you understand your story and the people in your story Really about you understanding you I will be discussing the different internal parts or modes of operating for these men and women to help you gain insight into them. To make sense of their actions to see them in 3 dimensions instead of just in the short account given in the Scripture Scripture is the word of God -- we need to unpack it, we need to decode the human language of revelation as the Pontifical Bible Commission put it in The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church -- 1993 Pontifical Bible Commission, endorsed by St. Pope John Paul II Psychology and theology continue their mutual dialogue. The modern extension of psychological research to the study of the dynamic structures of the subconscious has given rise to fresh attempts at interpreting ancient texts, including the Bible. Psychological and psychoanalytical studies do bring a certain enrichment to biblical exegesis in that, because of them, the texts of the Bible can be better understood in terms of experience of life and norms of behavior. As is well known, religion is always in a relationship of conflict or debate with the unconscious. It [the unconscious] plays a significant role in the proper orientation of human drives. Psychology and psychoanalysis… lead to a multidimensional understanding of Scripture and help decode the human language of revelation. What I am offering is admittedly speculative -- I am speculating about motives, internal conflicts, internal experience of the real people in the story I won't get it all right But the point is to show you a way to think about internal experience -- your own and others in a much deeper, more insightful way. It's about learning how to seek inside yourself to understand your own internal experience -- emotions, sensations, beliefs, attitudes, impulses, desires, intentions, conflicts, all the internal stuff. It's about that process, learning to seek. Seek and ye shall find. It's a way to understand the unconscious -- your unconscious, all the conflict inside, all the mysterious elements Utterly faithful to the fullness of truth as revealed by the Catholic Church. We are bringing the best of psychology to the fullness of divine revelation -- all in the service of being able to understand ourselves better so we can understand others better You can really understanding anybody else very well if you don't understand yourself. You'll misinterpret what you see in the other person. If you don't tolerate awareness of anger in yourself, and you sense anger in your relationship with another person, you'll assume it's the other person who is angry -- defense of projection Not just some psychological self-discovery project -- to help you understand the story of others, and the people in their stories So you can love them -- and love Christ in them. We are going to get some of this wrong -- we won't be 100% accurate, but that's it's not the point right now. Tamar doesn't need us, at this point in her life, to empathize with her. She's dead and experiencing her eternity. So is King David, Prince Amnon, Prince Absalom, they died nearly 3000 years ago. We are practicing understanding with this story. Preparation Episodes 37,38, and 39 provide the conceptual foundation for understanding shame and guilt in the natural realm, in the psychological realm. If you haven't listened to them and you are a conceptual thinker, you like the principles and ideas first, I would encourage you to listen to Episodes 37, 38 and 39 -- lots of conceptual meat in them For those of you who learn through examples and stories, those three conceptual episodes may make a lot more sense once we work through this case history -- you can go back and listen top episodes 37, 38, 39 after hearing out this story, get a lot more out of those conceptual episodes the second time around. Listen to Part 1 -- Episode 40. Overview of today Safety Review of active, attuned listening Story of King David Safety Hearing about childhood trauma can pull for unresolved trauma in you -- parts carrying trauma can begin to well up and I don't want you to be overwhelmed Hearing about shame can also pull for unresolved shame. How do you care for yourself -- attuning to yourself. Listen especially to your body -- bodyset -- this is so important anyway Are you in your window of tolerance Window of tolerance the zone of arousal in which you are able to function most effectively Notice Hyperarousal -- this is where our sympathetic nervous system revs us up, gets into fight or flight mode Notice Hypoarousal, when the parasympathetic nervous system shuts us down -- freeze response, like a deer in the headlights Might have some of those reactions. Monitor how much. paying attention to your body reactions those body sensations will tell you very important things Things that you will not be aware of, things that are outside your conscious awareness. Our bodies hold our intense, overwhelming experiences for us, so that we are not flooded with them all the time Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score Take it slow. Stop if needed. Listen with someone else if that's helpful. Respect what you are hearing from yourself about safety and danger. Active, attuned listening -- 3 levels of listening Listening to a new story, a story of David's childhood. Listening to yourself -- body reactions, emotions, thoughts, memories, attitudes, beliefs, sayings, images the particulars of your internal experience To the degree that it feels safe enough, secure enough, let's be open, let's really allow space for parts of us to be heard, and see what comes up if we are accepting that we aren't always aware of everything in us. God knew before the beginning of time everything that you would experience in your life, all the attachment injuries, all the relational wounds, everything that would cause shame. And He has remedies for it all. You can ask yourself, could this be part of your healing. Could He make use of this episode and this exercise to show you something? If so, are you willing to hear it, even if it is difficult Pencils and paper at the ready, can pause the episode to write down more. And remember take what is helpful. If you find yourself going into fight or flight or going down into freeze, stop the episode and take a break, and reground, take a walk, engage in an activity, reconnect with your surroundings. Ok. Here we go. I will read this slowly. Listening to the characters -- to their internal experiences -- bringing them into three dimensions. King David Starting with him -- we need to go back five generations. I argue that David had a terrible childhood, childhood full of rejection and alienation, full of being misunderstood by other, false accusations, others reviling him, condemning him, mocking him, shaming him. I think David misunderstood himself in a major way and did not really know who he was. And it helps to understand those terrible childhood experiences to understand possible motives to understand David and why he was so passive and took no action in response to his son Crown Prince Amnon raping his daughter Princess Tamar. If we want to better understand the story of Tamar, let's understand the story of her father David and we are going to roll back to his childhood. David's terrible childhood experiences and the aftermath doesn't justify his sin of omission in failing to act in response to the rape. I'm not saying that at all. I want to be really clear. Almost nothing in scripture about David's childhood. First we hear of David in Scripture Anointing by Samuel when he was but a youth, 10-15 years old You've heard the story, but have you really heard the story? And the backstory? Let's listen to the story, to ourselves, and to the characters 1 Samuel 16 1-13 Robert Alter's Translation Robert Alter -- Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley, translator of The Hebrew Bible -- Literal Translation, what the words actually said, not dynamic equivalence, what the translator thinks the words mean. Transliteration. Read it here Why wasn't David there -- traditional explanation -- he was the youngest, he had work to do keeping the sheep. Ah nice. Somebody had to do it. Sheep gotta have a shepherd you know, lots of wolves running around, can't have the sheep just looking after themselves. Nonsense. Jesse was an important figure, he was prominent, he was wealthy, he was established. He had servants, field hands. He has lots of people. Jesse is the head of the Sanhedrin, the supreme court of Torah Law. It wasn't that David was the only one who could do the work. He was just forgotten. You know, kids, especially those rascally little ones, you never know what they are up to… I say nonsense. This is a huge deal. Samuel is coming. A huge event -- everyone wants to see this. David would want to see this -- he wouldn't be kept away unless order he was under orders. Kids are curious. Remember that Samuel was fearsome. The Elders were trembling in Samuel's presence, asking if he came peaceably or not. If the great prophet Samuel wants to see your sons, you bring them out. Jesse is also upright and good. Jesse is one of the “eight princes of man” that would come out of Bethlehem in Micha 5:4 according to Sukkah 52b, a book of the Talmud. Jesse is not going to disobey the prophet Samuel. He obeys, not so much out of fear, but out of righteousness. And Jesse did bring all his sons out to Samuel but also deliberately kept David out of sight. Why? How could that be? Robert Alter -- Originally referred to consecrating Jesse and his sons -- Hebrew bā-nāw 16:1 and 16:5 Samuel "The Lord has not chosen these." One can imagine a pause here. Jesse looks confused. Samuel has come to anoint one of his sons as king, but has rejected all of his sons. How can that be? Then in 16:11 Samuel changes his language. I think Samuel may have been divinely inspired -- he was a prophet after all -- he no long asks about sons. He asks about lads or young men Hebrew: han-nə-‘ā-rîm no longer asking about sons, but broadening the word out to "lads" or young men. Jesse still confused -- catches the word shift, thinking of who is left in the household -- David. David is a lad, a young man… Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the boys?” And he said, “The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep.” But he makes no move or offer to get him -- this whole situation is bizarre and unthinkable for Jesse. Samuel sees the confusion and get clear and direct with Jesse to help him get with the program. So Samuel said to Jesse, “Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here.” Only after that much direction does Jesse finally send for David. David? How can that be? The great prophet Samuel wants me to fetch David to him, to evaluate him to see if David is fit to be king? What is going on? Samuel has to demand it directly and names the consequences if Jesse doesn't fetch him. Based on this, I am strongly suspecting that Jesse can't imagine Samuel anointing David as king Why? Remember Jesse doesn't number David among his sons and present David to Samuel -- even though he's a righteous man and Samuel was clear in his instruction. because Jesse did not know that David was his son. Whoa. That's why this is mindblowing for Jesse. He has just entered the Twilight Zone. This takes some explaining. Let's go back to David's Birth. What do we know about it David was the Eighth of eight sons David was the youngest son of Jesse Jesse was the son of Obed and the grandson of Ruth and of Boaz. He lived in Bethlehem, in Judea, and was of the Tribe of Judah, he was a farmer, breeder and owner of goat Jesse's wife, David's mother was never specifically names in the Bible. This is striking and very odd. King David -- of immense importance. And his mother never named in the Bible? David wrote Psalm 51 after his disastrous adulterous affair with Bathsheba. It's the fourth penitential psalm. And one verse stands out. Verse 5. In verse 5, King David wrote: “Behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Traditionally, most commentators think David was referencing original sin, the sin that plagues all mankind -- you know, Adam, Eve, the forbidden fruit and all that business. St. Robert Bellarmine for example, in his Commentary on the Psalms writes The iniquities and the sins alluded to [in this verse, verse 5] could not have been the sins of David's parents, for his parents were pious and devout people; he alludes to the sins of our first parents, as is evident from the Hebrew. Robert Alter -- David may indeed trace it [the sinfulness] back to the sexual act in through which he was conceived. Hebrew is entirely consistent with David being the product of illicit sex. What if we interpret verse 5 exactly as it reads — “ in sin did my mother conceive me” means exactly what it says — David's mother conceived him in an act of sin. She committed adultery and David was the byproduct of this infidelity. Do we have any evidence of infidelity -- Yes we do, from other sources, but we have to go back four generations. Naomi and Elimelech -- David's great-great grandparents fled with their sons to Moab from Bethlehem in at time of famine. Remember the Moabites and Israelites were historical enemies -- Moab was one of the Canaanite peoples Elimelech dies and the two sons marry Moabite women -- Mahlon marries Ruth and Chilion marries Orpah. Then Mahlon and Chilion both die, the famine ends, Naomi wants to return to Bethlehem and her Moabite DIL Ruth wants to go with her. And Ruth does. Orpah returns to her father's house. Ruth and Boaz -- parents of Obed and grandparents of Jesse. David's Great-grandparents After the return to Bethlehem, Ruth gleans in the field of Boaz -- Boaz is so impressed with her kindness, which did not correspond with the reputation of Moabites. Boaz and Ruth fall in love. The Jewish traditional law explicitly forbade Hebrew women from marrying Moabite men because of how the Moabites treated the Israelites when they were wandering in the wilderness, after being freed from their taskmasters in Egypt. Boaz and the Jewish sages understood this law according to the “Oral Torah” forbidding intermarriage with Moabite men who converted (who were the ones responsible for the cruel conduct) while exempting female Moabite converts. Boaz and Ruth marry With his marriage to Ruth, Boaz was going to make this oral Torah tradition much more widely known, for there was a lot of confusion But Boaz died the night after his marriage with Ruth. Ruth conceived on the night she met with Boaz and subsequently gave birth to their son Obed, the father of Jesse. The following is from secondary sources citing the Midrash, which is a Jewish biblical exegesis. Credit to an article entitled the Nitzevet, Mother of David, The bold voice of silence By Chana Weisberg on chabad.org which looks at David's mother through the Midrash Midrash was initially a method of interpreting the literal meaning of biblical texts. In time it developed into a sophisticated interpretive system that reconciled apparent biblical contradictions, established the scriptural basis of new laws, and enriched biblical content with new meaning. According the Midrashic opinion, During Ruth's lifetime, many individuals were doubtful about the legitimacy of her marriage to Boaz -- Boaz wasn't there to make the arguments, and he had rivals. Many believed that his death proved that God had condemned Boaz' marriage to Ruth, and had punished him accordingly. Obed is born from Ruth and Boaz's union Then Jesse is born from Obed and his wife, who is unnamed in Scripture Jesse married Nitzevet, an Israelite. However, after Jesse had seven sons with his wife Nitzevet (after many years of being together, he had gained honor as a righteous man and spiritual leader in the community) private doubts began torture him about whether or not his lineage was forever tainted by his Moabite blood -- was he ethnically pure -- an attack of scrupulosity. It was at this point that he resolved to cease all marital relations with Nitzevet in order not to dishonor her. He abandoned the marriage in order not to dishonor her and bring shame upon her because she, as a pure Israelite woman, would be sinning to be bound by marriage someone who was of impure Moabite ancestry. You might say he abandoned his marriage to her out of love for her. But he kept her in his household and met her physical needs and cared for her. And his seven sons knew this. They knew about the separation of their parents. Their parents were no longer lawfully married, if they ever were. And there's the rub. Jesse began to doubt the legitimacy of his seven sons to succeed him. If his lineage was impure, then his children were bastards and impure as well. So after years of continence, Jesse, wanting an unquestionably legitimate heir, devised a scheme to have a baby son, following the model of his forefather Abraham: through his wife Nitzevet's Canaanite maid. If Jesse has a son from such a union, the son would be recognized by all as a legitimate heir, thus securing Jesse's family line. Weird but true. When Jesse brought his plan to the maid, the maid, who loved Nitzevet told Nitzevet about the plan, and the two of them planned a midnight switcheroo, just as old Laban had done so many years earlier with Leah and Rachel, fooling Jacob. Nitzevet loved Jesse and wanted more children with him, even though now they were no longer married in the eyes of Jewish law. In the dark, Nitzevet took the place of her maid and had what would be considered adulterous relations with Jesse. On that night, Nitzevet conceived baby David, and Jesse had no clue until months later when it became obvious that Nitzevet was pregnant. How in Hades did that happen? Nitzevet is not talking. Being considered unmarried, Jesse and his seven sons believed she had to have committed adultery or fornication with someone. And according to Jewish law, she had committed adultery with Jesse -- they were no longer married, because Jesse ended the marriage with a divorce decree. No one knew but Nitzevet and her maid that Nitzevit had committed adultery with Jesse -- remember they were no longer married. Psalm 51:5 David said “Behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me.” The sons wanted to kill their adulterous mother by stoning (as the law called for) and her illegitimate baby with her, but out of love for his former wife, Jesse intervened. Nitzevet did not reveal to her husband that the child was his, for she did not want to embarrass him by revealing the truth of what had happened. Instead, she chose to bear the shame of their son. Unaware of the truth behind his wife's pregnancy, but having compassion on her, Jesse ordered his sons not to touch her. “Do not kill her! Instead, let the child that will be born be treated as a lowly and despised servant. In this way everyone will realize that his status is questionable and, as an illegitimate child, he will not marry an Israelite.” From the time of his birth onwards, then, Nitzevet's son David was treated by his brothers as an disgraced, social outcast, worth nothing. Noting the conduct of his brothers, the rest of the community assumed that this youth was a treacherous sinner full of unspeakable guilt. Nitzevet held her silence. Only she and her maid knew the identity of David's father -- that he was indeed the eighth son David. And that's why David was not initially counted among Jesse's sons. That's why he had the dangerous job, as a lad, of tending the flocks in a distant pasture. That's why he was barred from he celebration -- a Cinderella figure, condemned and despised and abandoned by almost everyone, and only his mother and one maid knew his true identity. That sounds like a type of Christ to me. Consider -- let's get into these character's heads. Think of the sense of betrayal that Jesse must have felt. He ended the marriage with Nitzevet to protect her from shame and from dishonor and from spiritual death -- because he loved her he made that sacrifice -- and she goes sneaking around and having sex with some other guy, getting pregnant and bearding him, making him a laughing stock and disgracing herself. Think of the burden of Nitzevet -- bearing the shame, and her son's shame silently, with only one maid and God to know the truth -- shunned by all but her son and her maid, waiting for justice. Disrespected and shamed by her other seven sons who did not understand, who could not understand. Think of the shame and surprise of the seven brothers -- David to be made king -- the object of ridicule, the bastard, the scapegoat will take power in Israel. Fear. What's going to happen Think of the shame of David now. A bastard child. An object of ridicule and hatred,l rejected by everyone except his mother. Growing up without a father, not knowing who his father was. Persecuted ruthlessly by his brothers, who had wanted to kill him, who thought he was only a half-brother -- and now by God's grace and power and justice lifted up to the kingship. Who would have thunk it? But that my friends is classic God for you. That's the kind of thing he likes to do. He is a God of surprises. Psalm 69 Traditional Jewish interpretation is that it is about David's Childhood. Listen to the adolescent David, the bastard, the rejected one -- this may have been written before his anointing or afterward, as he remembered and relived his childhood experiences. See David as a type of Christ. Terrible suffering and shame. Listen to yourself- what resonates with you. Write it down. Value your reactions. Save me, O God!For the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold;I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me.I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched.My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause;mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies.What I did not steal must I now restore?O God, thou knowest my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from thee.Let not those who hope in thee be put to shame through me, O Lord God of hosts;let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.For it is for thy sake that I have borne reproach, that shame has covered my face.I have become a stranger to my brethren, an alien to my mother's sons.For zeal for thy house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult thee have fallen on me.When I humbled[a] my soul with fasting, it became my reproach.When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.I am the talk of those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me.But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy steadfast love answer me.With thy faithful help rescue me from sinking in the mire;let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters.Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me.Answer me, O Lord, for thy steadfast love is good; according to thy abundant mercy, turn to me.Hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress, make haste to answer me.Draw near to me, redeem me, set me free because of my enemies!Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to thee.Insults have broken my heart, so that I am in despair.I looked for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their own table before them become a snare; let their sacrificial feasts[b] be a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; and make their loins tremble continually.Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy burning anger overtake them.May their camp be a desolation, let no one dwell in their tents.For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and him[c] whom thou hast wounded, they afflict still more.[d]Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from thee.Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous.But I am afflicted and in pain; let thy salvation, O God, set me on high!I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving.This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.For the Lord hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds.Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves therein. For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah;and his servants shall dwell[e] there and possess it; the children of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

Hey Tanner Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Jesse & Becky: A Love Story Series Full House S5E10: Happy Birthday babies, Part 2, which aired on November 12, 1991. In this episode, it is finally Michelle's fifth birthday party. Everyone dresses up. Dj dresses up as Wilma in Michelle's Flintstones themed party. Stephanie dresses up as Betty Flinstone, Danny, is Dino and all of the kids wear cave men clothes. Comet has a dinosaur costume on and Jesse is dressed up as Fred. Just as Jesse plans to go downstairs to celebrate Michelle's birthday, Becky goes into labor... and so does Jesse, but we soon learn that he has appendicitis. Michelle has to cut her birthday short, but she doesn't mind because her new cousins, Nicky and Alex, get to share her birthday. She especially can't wait because triple the birthday means triple the cake! As always the episode got me in the feels department when we see Jesse and Becky holding their newborn twin sons who they name Nicky and Alex. The shenanigans at the Tanner house prior to lead up to the birth , from The Flintstones costumes, which were awesome looking, btw's. Michelle and her guests being left alone for a mere 5 minutes giving us a classic 90's drop of the famous Home Alone hands slap to the face scream. I also learn the name of the cat from The Flintstones, get this, it's "Baby Puss", gross right? They couldn't have named it Tiger. How many shows can you name, that have a character undergoing an appendectomy. I can name a few, from back in the day, Diff'rent Strokes, Silver Spoons, Punky Brewster and what Jeremy declares this episode of Full House to be a blatant rip off storyline of is Night Court, where Mac's wife goes into labor and he has to have his appendix removed. Loved Danny rocking out to Queen's We Will Rock You while coaching Becky through her breathing and contractions. Also his Dino costume was hands down the best. Join me next week when I cover the final episode in the Jesse & Becky: A Love Story Series Fuller House S1E13: Love Is In The Air, which aired on February 26, 2016.

Hey Tanner Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Jesse & Becky: A Love Story Series Full House S5E10: Happy Birthday babies, Part 2, which aired on November 12, 1991. In this episode, it is finally Michelle's fifth birthday party. Everyone dresses up. Dj dresses up as Wilma in Michelle's Flintstones themed party. Stephanie dresses up as Betty Flinstone, Danny, is Dino and all of the kids wear cave men clothes. Comet has a dinosaur costume on and Jesse is dressed up as Fred. Just as Jesse plans to go downstairs to celebrate Michelle's birthday, Becky goes into labor... and so does Jesse, but we soon learn that he has appendicitis. Michelle has to cut her birthday short, but she doesn't mind because her new cousins, Nicky and Alex, get to share her birthday. She especially can't wait because triple the birthday means triple the cake! As always the episode got me in the feels department when we see Jesse and Becky holding their newborn twin sons who they name Nicky and Alex.

Mark from Carnation is upset that his girlfriend Jesse has never deleted old pictures of previous relationship off of her phone or her cloud. He says he doesn’t know if she’s still into the old boyfriends, or just likes the pictures, or is just being stubborn, but it bothers him and he feels that’s a good enough reason to delete them. When Jesse comes she says she thinks Mark is being really insecure. She says we all have a past and you shouldn’t be expected to erase it for someone new. She says the pics remind her of good times in her life and, frankly, she likes how she looks in some of them. The P1’s think they both need to give a little: Mark needs to “man up”, because Jesse is with him after all, and not the old boyfriend; but they also think she could do a little “housecleaning” on the cloud.
Mo first ran into Vanessa via the internet- where she connects with many :) When Jesse sent her an email from PRO REA Staffing, he thought she might be someone good to connect with.Mo reached out- and the rest is history.

Hey Tanner Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today I covered the next episode in the Back To School Series Full House S5E1: Double Trouble, which aired on September 17, 1991. In this episode we see: Jesse comes back home from a 6 week tour with his band, to an astonished surprise that his wife Becky is very visibly pregnant which he takes awkward glee in pointing out. DJ starts high school and wants to be viewed by Danny as being dressed too attractive (basically too hot) to leave the house, it’s a blazer/skirt combo Deej, maybe she should takes lessons from Kimmy who’s too hot for school outfit makes Danny’s eyes bug out. Stephanie’s got a great confident attitude going into the 4th grade and it also helps that her teacher is a “major babe” (Steph’s words), it’s a shame she mentions this in front of Michelle cause it’s gonna come back to bite in the butt later. Joey gives Michelle some outdated Bullwinkle impression to wow her kindergarten classmates with including her future best friend Teddy who during their meet cute calls her a strange kid, she flees into an empty hallway eventually tracking down Stephanie who teaches the kids that Bullwinkle and talking with your hands on your head is cool and socially acceptable as an icebreaker. Jesse and Becky get a shocking surprise to discover she’ll be eating for three as she’s carrying twins. Jesse all but has a nervous breakdown requiring help from a nearby oxygen tank. The family helps Jesse realize that he won’t be doing this alone and no two kids will be loved more. The Tanner house just got more full. Join me later this week for the next episode in the Full House Back To School Series Full House S6E6: Educating Jesse, which aired on October 27, 1992. In this episode DJ and Kimmy are doing a program that encourages kids to stay in school, so they ask Jesse and Joey to talk about it on their radio show, but Jesse refuses. When Jesse admits that the reason he won't do the show is because he didn't stay in school, the family encourages him to finish school. Unfortunately however, when he goes back to high school, his teacher turns out to be the teacher that caused him to drop out of school. When his teacher embarrasses and insults Jesse, Jesse asks for the bathroom pass and says "See ya in 10 years". When Michelle, who is learning to tie her shoes, finds out that Jesse dropped out again, she gives up on tying her shoes because she thinks ok because Jesse quit. In the end, Jesse and Michelle talk and Jesse ends up going back to night school and Michelle keeps on trying to tie her shoes.

When Jesse and I first got married, we always took Sunday offline. It was a day for us to just enjoy going to church, resting, and being together as a family. In recent years, I’ve fallen out of that practice (I'm not even exactly sure why, but I did). In addition to going to church and volunteering at church, Sunday became a day for me to also play catchup on a lot of blogging work and emails. This meant that I was usually working at least some hours every single day of the week. Which I don't recommend because it meant I rarely had a stretch of offline time for more than a few hours at a time. My 4-Week Commitment I could make a lot of excuses and seemingly valid reasons as to why I "needed" to work on Sunday, but I realized that working 7 days a week wasn't good for my soul or body or family, so I decided to try something different and make a 4-week commitment to unplug and go offline on Sundays. In today's podcast episode, I share really candidly the surprising results of my experiment and how much it has changed my life. (Oh and Jesse also shares about his current morning routine and a type of chair we love. I talk about a book I finished recently and the one food I've been loving in my first trimester. In This Episode: [02:14] Listen in as Jesse shares about his morning routine and an outdoor chair that we love. [06:13] I tell you about a book I recently finished that goes along so well with this podcast episode. [09:26] Let's talk about my Unplugged Sundays Experiment. [09:59] For years, I justified working on Sunday for a variety of reasons. [11:30] … but really it was a lack of trust in God and trying to control things in my own strength. [13:03] Rather than making a big longterm commitment, I did a four-week-long trial of not working on Sunday. [16:31] The benefits of the time off have been incredible. I share the different surprises that have happened along the way. [18:06] Why I now feel so much more productive in the 6 days I do work.

What You'll Hear: Jesse became a Christian at the age of eleven. His father struggled with alcoholism and his mother struggled with depression. His Dad was in and out of jail and his Dad wouldn't let Jesse and his sister talk to each other Jesse was in his room while his parents were arguing and he heard a voice in his head that he had spiritual gifts and he just needed to stick to life and to read the Bible Once he got to high school he started going to church and learned that he was accepted by God as he was His parents divorced when Jesse was in college. Jesse still talks to them. He has prayed a lot for them lately and is learning how to sow seeds one day at a time When Jesse moved to Nashville to go to Belmont, he met a number of people that had an influence on him Jesse planned to move to Tampa, but God had another plan He prayed for a physical sign and God gave him one Jesse wants his past to help him mentor others He views faith like a bowling alley. Open gutters is like a life lacking faith. Bumpers is like a walk of faith. Be steadfast in prayer and be specific about what you pray Jesse works with artists to help them get to the next level in their careers While in college he was on the pre-med track. He was doing well but wasn't happy. He transferred to Belmont and started writing articles interviewing artists and realized that music was the pathway for what God wanted him to do Jesse interviewed Jason Davis for a podcast interview and he spent 3-1/2 hours with him, mostly talking about God Jesse became the tour manager for Austin French and then became involved in artist licensing We're all given spiritual gifts. Living out his faith is to serve. Jesse writes out what he needs to accomplish in a day, he lives in the present and takes it day by day In the secular festival realm, it can be a big party and there's a temptation to go along with that. Always be up front and truthful with what your intentions are You can take little steps at work to make a difference Favorite scripture is Psalms 23:1-4 If we're not planting seeds with young people, there won't be anything to sprout Rather than listening to something, Jesse gets quiet and meditates jessewilder@comcast.net and on Facebook and Instagram
When Jesse and I got married, I tried so hard to fix him. I saw all of his shortcomings, and I wanted to help him be better. Surprise surprise, this caused a lot of tension. It took a while for me to realize that my job was to focus on myself (and there’s plenty of work to do there) rather than try to change or “fix” other people. This idea goes for our kids, too! In today's episode of The Crystal Paine Show, I'm talking with Jami Amerine about how easy it is to try to fix our kids and how ineffective and stressful this is as a parent. Just recently, one of my kids was really frustrated over their grades. While I was trying to ask them questions to figure out the source of their frustration, they blurted out, “But I NEED to get all A’s!” I stopped and quietly looked them in the eye and said, “Who put that on you?” As in, where did the feeling that you need to get all A’s originate from? Is that something someone else is making you feel like you have to achieve? When I talked more with this child, they admitted that it wasn’t us or their siblings or a friend or a teacher; it was their own self. They felt like they weren’t measuring up to a standard they had set for themselves if they didn’t get all A’s. Mamas, I think most of us have done the same. We’ve created a standard of perfection we feel we must achieve to be a great parent or have a great kid. And if we’re not hitting that self-made standard, we are failing. But, who put that on you?? While we might sometimes feel like there is pressure from outside sources, in most cases, it’s something we’ve put on ourselves. And here’s what I want to gently say to you: “You don’t need to carry that any more.” Lay it down. Let it go. The sooner you stop trying to live up to an impossible standard, the sooner you’ll start experiencing deep joy and fulfillment in being okay with right where you are. As I told my child, “So long as you are doing your best, that’s all that matters.” If you are struggling with parenting or need some encouragement as a mom, you do want to miss today's episode on the secret to being a more peaceful parent (it will likely surprise you!), the importance of raising your kids to be who they are instead of who we think they should be, and how to love a difficult child. In This Episode: [03:26] - What's saving my life this week is my very favorite Apple battery case. I'm constantly asked about this when I'm with people and I am always singing the praises of it! [05:21] - My book pick of the week is an oldie but a goodie: Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay. [09:50] - Today’s guest was actually recommended by a podcast listener and I'm so grateful this listener took the time to write in and recommend Jami Amerine's book. [11:56] - I ask Jami about her early years of parenting and how she struggled with perfectionism. She shares honestly about the lessons she learned from this. [15:17] - How was Jami able to let go of trying to do everything perfectly? She expresses so much wisdom for all of us -- but especially for those who still have younger kids. [19:04] - I was intrigued by the subtitle of Jami's book and she tells the story behind it and how it wasn't what she picked... but how we both think it fits so well. [23:20] - What is Jami reading right now? I love her outside-the-box answer! [24:44] - And then she shares how she's giving up sugar (and also gives us a little teaser about her next book that she's writing... that I want to read ASAP!) [27:58] - Today’s listener question is about emotionally adjusting to the reality of giving up being a stay-at-home mom for a new lifestyle.

Send me an email: crystal@moneysavingmom.com Sponsor Spotlight This episode is sponsored by YouNeedaBudget.com — the budgeting software we have personally used for the past two years and absolutely love. We were introduced to this budgeting software by my brother-in-law, Justin, a few years ago. He and my husband, Jesse, are both what I would lovingly refer to as “nerds”. You know the kind of people… those people who think spreadsheets are fun. And who geek out over features in Excel. Yup, those kinds of people. You might as well poke my eyeballs out with a hot iron rod than get to me be giddy over creating spreadsheets. But nevertheless, I love Spreadsheet Nerds because they help keep people like me in line and on track! Anyway, it was around Christmas time and Justin started telling Jesse about YouNeedaBudget — what we call YNAB for short. Jesse and I had both heard of this software before, but we had been using Quicken for so long that we’d not considered changing to anything else. Well, when Jesse saw the features of YNAB, he was intrigued enough to sign up for the free trial. And it was pretty much love at first sight. Truthfully, I can’t even begin to tell you how often I’ve heard him exclaiming to me, to friends, or just to himself something about, “How cool and helpful YNAB is!” I’m such a pen and paper and cash girl, but after all his raving reviews, I finally gave in and downloaded it on my phone and had him show me how it works. It’s really, really impressive. I love how we can see exactly how we’re doing in every budget in just one glance. And since we have multiple budgets for our businesses and personal, it allows us to track them all in one app. Which is so handy! They usually only offer a 30-day trial, but they are giving you all a FREE 60-day trial so you can really get a feel for it and see how well it works. Go here to sign up for your FREE 60-Day YNAB trial. Note: This post contains affiliate links.

This connection is another one of those timing is everything and patience is a virtue. I first heard of Dan Doty indirectly via (once again) Jesse Israel, when mentioning a men’s retreat he’d attended called EVRYMAN. At first, I was connected to it’s co-founder, Sascha Lewis, with whom I met in person last fall. I made a note in my notebook that I’d like to continue this conversation with a potential collaboration in mind. Almost a year later, I attended a MediClub in Brooklyn. There I was grouped with four strangers to discuss a prompted topic. I exchanged contacts with one of the men after the event. We met for coffee. He mentioned EVRYMAN and suggested I connect with the Founder. An email was sent and a week later I was on a call with Dan Doty. We had things in common. Dan used to work as a producer, as had I. He had a love for Montana, as did I from my work there with VICE. But mostly we connected on the human condition and the need for the type of connection and conversation that he was providing for men. He expanded on EVRYMAN and what the retreat entails. He spoke of the men he was meeting. He made mention that he was looking to work with women as well. I knew then that this was my people. That was conversation #1. After a few weeks processing our conversation, I sent a follow up email asking Dan if he’d be interested in a podcast conversation. He immediately said yes. We set up a time and here’s the result of this timeline of events. The truth of the matter is this (as it always is): timing is everything. When Jesse first mentioned EVRYMAN, I had just started my IN THE UNKNOWN Workshops. I was not yet ready to properly comprehend and process the context of this podcast because I hadn’t yet done the work with others. Now, with nearly 60 Workshops under my belt, I had the experience and the hours to pull from my personal experiences in workshop, and to use my own personal journey as an example to relate. The patience it takes to get to this place is immense, however, when we exercise it and trust the process of time, we do not miss the connection when it arises, even if it comes months later. What I know is that Dan is a Warrior, someone on a journey to create space for all to reconnect with self and others. His approach is a bit different than mine and this could be due to his stronger foundation of self-confidence. That said, he too fears common Unknowns to mine, and articulates them most vulnerably with an immense strength, kindness and compassion. This is a listen for EVRYMAN looking to change their life. For every woman looking to better understand her man. And for anyone looking for self-betterment and a new way to live their life. I suggest STRONGLY that if you like what you hear you share: men, attend this retreat // women, suggest it to your men. This is a win for all. Thank you Dan for your heart + your mind. Friend (you know who you are) for the connect. And J for the planting of the seed.
“I LEARN BEST BY JUMPING INTO THE UNKNOWN.” There’s one resource in this world we all take for granted: time. We’re only on this planet for a small amount of time, and we tend to build routines in our lives that makes the days roll by. The next thing we know, we look in the mirror and we’re 70. When you look at that face do you want to see a life of missed opportunities or one filled with experiences you are proud of? If you want the latter, you need to make sure you schedule time for you. Take the time to build your life resume, because that’s what makes our lives much more interesting. When you talk about someone, do you talk about how they clock in to work on time everyday at 9 am and work late hours? Or do you talk about the places they’ve been to, and the experiences they’ve had? On this episode of The School of Greatness, I bring you back someone who has decided to build their life’s resume: Jesse Itzler. Importance of taking advantage of time. Routine make life fly by. Make time for yourself - building life resume instead of business resume. Jesse enjoys living life "out of the box." In fact, he doesn't even have a box. The author of the New York Times bestseller, Living with a Seal, co founded Marquis Jet, the world's largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. Jesse then partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company. He’s also the kind of person that when he wants something he grabs onto the opportunity without delay. He recently decided he needed to detox his mind from electronics and the constant multitasking of today’s world. He ended up living with monks, living in a room as small as a table, and unable to communicate with his family, just to find himself. The lessons he learned most were about the need to make time for yourself and the people around you that you care most about. In the end, that’s where you’ll have the most impact and where your true legacy will come from. Learn more lessons from Jesse’s isolation and time with the monks, on Episode 652. Some Questions I Ask: How was your 15 day digital detox? (8:45) What are you not waiting for? (20:09) If you could go back 20 years, what would you eliminate or add to your life? (21:41) Do you still take 3 hours for yourself every day? (24:44) What do you think you can learn from pain? (29:14) What did the monks teach you about overcoming personal challenges?

Find your one thing to help you stand out. Be unique. Be different. Whatever is normal, do the exact opposite. Jesse Cole, often seen in a bright yellow tuxedo, wants you to understand you don't have to do things the same way everyone else does it. Jesse is the owner of the Savannah Bananas baseball team, author, podcaster, and business disrupter. When Jesse first became the owner of a minor league baseball team, he realized no one cared about the team. There were no fans at the games. There was no money in the bank account. Instead of getting discouraged, Jesse tackled the problem head-on. He knew people thought baseball was long, slow, and boring. Jesse encourages you to find what frustrates you about your business. Also, find what frustrates your customers about your business or industry. Now, tackle those problems directly. Do the opposite of what people expect or what others are doing.

On the evening of October 13th, 2016, 23-year-old Jesse Leopold was working a shift at his job in Jewell, Iowa. During a break, he left after telling his supervisor that he needed to get his medication. Jesse never returned to work and was never seen again. Jesse's truck would later be found over 30 miles away in Ledges State Park. When Jesse's dad, Jerry, located the truck, his concern grew when he found that it was unlocked with the keys in the ignition.

Episode 069: Jesse Itzler – Taking Risks, Selling For Millions, Living With A (Navy) SEAL, Married To A Billionaire Jesse Itzler is an incredibly interesting person. Despite all of his (massive) success, he’s one of the most down to earth people I’ve ever spoken with. This conversation felt like I was reconnecting with an old friend. I absolutely loved it. Jesse cofounded Marquis Jet, the world’s largest prepaid private jet card company in 2001, which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. He then helped pioneer the coconut water craze with Zico coconut water, which he and his partners sold to The Coca-Cola Company in 2013. He is a former rapper on MTV and he produced both the NBA’s Emmy Award-winning “I Love This Game” music campaign and the popular New York Knicks anthem “Go NY Go.” When he is not running ultra-marathons or being a dad to his three kids, Jesse can be found at the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks games, where he is an owner of the team. He is married to Spanx founder Sara Blakely whom Forbes listed as one of the “100 most powerful women in the world.” Forbes labeled her as the one of the richest self-made American Woman with a net worth of $1.1 Billion. Most recently, Jesse has written a new book titled, “Living With A SEAL.” When Jesse felt himself drifting on autopilot, he hired a rather unconventional trainer to live with him for a month-an accomplished Navy SEAL widely considered to be "the toughest man on the planet"! Lebron James says the book is “Hilarious!” Episode 069: Jesse Itzler – Taking Risks, Selling For Millions, Living With A (Navy) SEAL, Married To A Billionaire Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio “I am a huge fan of Sara.

Plus, he fun's to go out with." – Tom Brady, New England Patriots Four-Time Super Bowl Champion The Learning Leader Show Some Questions I Ask: What are the common characteristics of high achievers?

How quickly did you know she was the one for you? What is it like being married to a self-made billionaire? Why did you write “Living With A SEAL?” What are some of the key life lessons you learned from the experience? How do you stay so grounded? In This Episode, You Will Learn: The importance of a singular focus The process for partnering with the right person when creating a business What it was like to sell his company to Berkshire Hathaway What it’s like at home being married to a self-made billionaire and raising 3 kids together Why specifically Jesse needed to get off auto-pilot and how SEAL helped him do that Takings risks and how to do it wisely The importance of finding great people to work with Being willing and able to adapt on a daily basis “Money is a great magnifying glass.

If your budgeting is not where you want it to be… and you are wondering what else you can do, today’s guest might be able to help. He is the founder and CEO of YouNeedABudget.com or YNAB, Jesse Mecham. Fueled by the desire to survive as a 20-something newlywed and a full-time student, Jesse developed a budgeting system to help him track expenses. What was a simple expense recorder evolved into something quite useful, which allowed him and his family not only to survive but also save a substantial portion for a rainy day. Fast-forward to 2015, YNAB is a full-blown software enterprise, driven by a small, passionate team, helping tens of thousands of people all over the world pay down their debt, save more money, and break the paycheck to paycheck cycle. When Jesse is not fine-tuning software, doing his own budgeting or helping others get a hold of their finances, he is gardening, playing the piano and honing his golf swing… as well as hanging out with 5 amazing children.
