Beth is joined by America’s Life Coach, Stephen Lovegrove. From working with billionaires, Hollywood stars, and hundreds of international clients, Stephen Lovegrove continues to be the fastest growing name in the personal development arena. Before becoming a multi-awarded life coach Stephen started out in ministry school and was training to become a pastor. During this process, he met a life coach in New York City—the first one he’d ever met—and then realized it was helping him move forward faster and further than his other efforts to heal. That experience also gave him the idea that maybe this is something he had potential to do too, as he always wanted to do healing work in the world. Eventually, this newfound career became his outlet for empowering people and helping them make their dreams come true.   Stephen & Beth discuss: How he helps people get what they want from the inside out How he began his life-coaching journey  Why you can only take clients as deep as you’ve gone yourself as a coach Education & experience when it comes to coaching Messy massive action How self-commitment can catapult you forward in your goals Gaining local and national notoriety Why ALL parts of you matter (including the things that make you angry, frustrated, etc.) Unconditional love Your energy in relation to your success   Today, Stephen is an exclusive coach for a network of billionaires and celebrities, leads a done-for-you spiritual support service for the elite, and has co-founded a spiritual community nonprofit in Nashville called Imaginarium. He is the author of an international bestseller and the host of his own show, “Change the World”. Aside from personally working with leaders, entrepreneurs, and celebrities, Stephen also supports various campaigns and charities for human rights, hurricane relief, youth empowerment, criminal justice reform, clean water, and spiritual work.   How to Find Yourself, Love Yourself, & Be Yourself: The Secret Instruction Manual for Being Human by Stephen Lovegrove   Connect with Stephen: http://www.stephenlovegrove.us/ https://www.instagram.com/drlovegrove/ https://twitter.com/drlovegrove https://www.facebook.com/drlovegrove/

When I was a kid, I used to go to the movies with my friends all the time. And we had this little trick, where, after it ended, we’d sneak into another theater so we could watch the last 20-30 minutes of a different movie.Later, when I would watch that same movie from beginning to end, knowing the ending completely changed the entire experience. Watching the story unfold in a different direction gave me a lot more insight into the movie structure itself.So what does starting a business and watching a movie in reverse have in common?For us, it was all about having fun and watching as many movies as we possibly could. I realize now that this is also an excellent method for learning about the best way to develop a roadmap for your brand new business.Great entrepreneurs start at the end and work their way back.When you define an ending, you also give your journey a powerful sense of direction. And when you know how the story ends, it’s a lot easier to work your way back to the beginning and map out all the steps you need to go through before getting to where you want to go.Today’s episode is dedicated to all entrepreneurs out there who are feeling a bit stuck.

Bryant takes us through the second book in Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy. Join Bryant's coaching program at: learn.bryantchambers.comOPENING QUOTE (P.61) - "Life," says a fine Greek adage, "is the gift of nature; but beautiful living is the gift of wisdom."READING (P.64) - The Greek disdain of manual work kept everybody but the listless slave from direct acquaintance with the process of production, from that stimulating contact with machinery which reveals defects and prefigures possibilities; (How does this affect American society?)READING (P.66) - Aristotle gives us science, technical, abstract, concentrated; if we go to him for entertainment we shall sue for the return of our money. READING (P.67) - The first great distinction of Aristotle is that almost without predecessors, almost entirely by his own hard thinking, he created a new science--logic. READING (P.68) - Logic means, simply, the art and method of correct thinking. it is the logy or method of every science, of every discipline and every art. "Nothing is so dull as logic, and nothing is so important" - Will Durant"If you wish to converse with me," said Voltaire, "define your terms." - Will DurantREADING (P.68,69) - How shall we proceed to define an object or a term? Aristotle answers that every good definition has two parts, stands on two solid feet: first, it assigns the object in question to a class or group whose general characteristics are also its own--so man is, first of all, an animal; and secondly, it indicates wherein the object differs from all the other members in its class--so man, in the Aristotelian system, is a rational animal, his "specific difference" is that unlike all other animals he is rational. Aristotle drops an object into the ocean of its class, then takes it out all dripping with generic meaning, with the marks of its kind and group; while its individuality and difference shine out all the more clearly for this juxtaposition with other objects that resemble it so much and are so different. READING (P.70) - We have always goodly stock in us of that which we condemn: as only similars can be profitably contrasted, so only similar people quarrel and the bitterest wars are over the slightest variations of purpose or belief. The knightly Crusaders found in Saladin a gentleman with whom they could quarrel amicably, but when the Christians of Europe broke into hostile camps there was no quarter for even the courtliest foe. Aristotle is so ruthless with Plato because there is so much of Plato in him;READING (P.76) - Hence the almost "eternal recurrence," in civilization after civilization, of the same inventions and discoveries, the same "dark ages" of slow economic and cultural accumulation, the same rebirths of learning and science and art. No doubt some popular myths are vague traditions surviving from earlier cultures. So the story of man runs in a dreary circle, because he is not yet master of the earth that holds him. READING (P.80) - Everything in the world is moved by an inner urge to become something greater than it is. - Or at the very least "other" than it currently is - This is where our drive comes from - And if life has punched us in the mouth too many times, we retreat from this and it kills usREADING (P.80) - The mistakes and futilities of nature are due to the inertia of matter resisting the forming force of purpose--hence the abortions and monsters that mar the panorama of life. - So as a cruel joke, God commands us to grow and be like him, and then gives us a nature that resists this very growth process. Why? All strength, power, and love come from struggle.READING (P.83) - The soul is the entireSupport the show (https://patreon.com/bryantchambers)

About Martha R Kelso: Martha is the Chief Executive Officer of Wound Care Plus, LLC, which is the largest wound care provider in the Midwest and they have been so successful that she's now in Florida and New York. She's well on her way to becoming a national mobile wound care company. Her company uses the most innovative products and cutting-edge technology to treat individuals with wound care or skin issues at almost any site of care and has educated thousands of healthcare professionals and caregivers on wound care issues, federal regulations, and national guidelines. She is a published author and on several national advisory boards.  In this episode, Steve and Martha discuss:1. Are bedsores and pressure ulcers considered wounds?That's correct. Anything that is a break in the skin or damaging the underlying tissue, you could define as a wound or an ulcer.2. Is it accurate to say that bedsores and pressure ulcers are mostly caused by actual pressure from sitting in one position for too long or from shearing on someone who has multiple co-morbidities? I totally agree. Yes.3. What type of wounds would you say are most common in the senior and elderly community?According to generic averages, about 25% of the time is pressure, 25% of the time are arterial, 25% venous, and then the other 25% is variety.4. Martha, are you saying that there is misdiagnosis that is happening where the medical professionals or long-term care settings are actually not properly diagnosing these wounds and they actually are cancer?Correct. In the document that I published called Why All the Pressure About Pressure?, I list two cases that were wrong diagnosis cases. We have situations where the primary care physician, the medical director, or even another specialist have ordered studies to determine the etiology, like potential arterial disease; so we're ordering an ABI, or arterial ultrasound, and they're canceling our orders saying, nope, it's pressure. It is a systemic issue in healthcare.5. Is that just a lack of just general training about wounds, or why is this happening so much? What's interesting is in the healthcare world, taxonomy codes are what define what a doctor or nurse practitioner does. So, taxonomy code may list them as a general surgeon or an emergency medicine physician. There is no taxonomy code for wound care. There is one for hyperbaric oxygen, but there is not one for wound care, which basically means anybody can decide that they're going to a specialist. There are certification programs and board certification programs out there that specialists can take. However, the majority of them require that you've been doing wound care for at least two years before you're eligible to sit for the board certification. So, I believe in getting board certified in wound care, at the same time experience over and over and over and over and over again is what differentiates between a good wound specialist versus someone that maybe doesn't know what they're doing.6. Has wound care been dropped to the bottom as far as priorities for the medical establishment? Shouldn't it be required that they become certified in wound care? Not only long-term care setting employees or directors or nurses but also the actual internist or doctors in general?In my opinion, we have to have more training in wound care. I've been in the industry for 27 years and even when I went years ago for my LPN program, there was zero wound care training in our LPN program and my very first job was at a hospital as an LPN. I can remember the doctor coming out of the room saying he needs to get a wound vac put on and to go put it on. That was inherent, “Oh my gosh, I don't know how to do a wound vac” and then feeling guilty but you're a nurse, you should know how to do wound care. Well, you're right, I should know. But yet nobody had trained me. Some of it is the industry having to say “forget it, not one more day”. We have to have wound training in our doctor's programs and NP school, PA school, LPN, RN, PT. The whole industry kind of needs to stop. Some people are making good headway and adding that into their programs, but it's certainly not universal.7. Are wounds common in the aging population?Correct, anytime you have somebody with multiple comorbidities, multiple diagnoses, and then you add age on top of it, the skin is kind of our barometer, right? It kind of tells us what's going on inside the body, skin is an organ. So, if our body is not in a state of homeostasis or balance, we get out of balance the skin is usually one of the things that shows that imbalance whether it's through a rash or a breakdown in an ulcer or a dry patchy spot or blister formation.8. Is the skin more of a barometer of the general health of the person who's affected by it?Generally speaking, most times, that's the case.9. How chronic are diabetic foot ulcers and is that an arterial issue, a venous issue, and then how systemic is it?Diabetes is an atherosclerosis issue, more like hardening of the arteries, which also impairs the microvascular blood flow. So, the capillaries that are feeding blood, nutrients, and oxygen to your tissue, are impaired. The interesting thing is that anybody that's had diabetes for any length of time, even if you manage your blood sugar perfectly, you will still end up with microvascular impairment and atherosclerosis. So, the longer you've had it the more damage there is. Diabetic wounds are generally going to occur in the lower extremity, but diabetic lesions can occur anywhere on the body.10.  The wounds on the feet are because the feet are the farthest from the heart, and the blood flow is affected and circulation is not good?Correct. So, in following that same school of thought, let's say they don't have diabetes, but they've had a heart attack or a stroke. That is a huge clue that they have significant arterial disease throughout their body, even if they don't have wounds on their lower extremities yet, the fact that they've already had a heart attack or a stroke means that they are at high risk of developing wounds of their lower extremity because they have some form of blood flow impairment throughout their body. "Anybody that develops shingles, their immune system is already in a weakened state." —  Martha R Kelso To find out more about the National Injured Senior Law Center or to set up a free consultation go to https://www.injuredseniorhotline.com/ or call 855-622-6530 Connect with Martha Kelso:Twitter: https://twitter.com/mywoundcareplusInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/woundcareplus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/woundcareplusllc/Website: https://mywoundcareplus.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martha-r-kelso-5209741/ CONNECT WITH STEVE H.

Are you discontent with your life- Why- Do you wish you were taller or smaller- Why- Do you wish you had a better job- Why- Do you wish you never took the first hit, shot, puff, pill, or injection- Why- Do you wish you had a better family- Why- Do you wish this year would go by faster- Why- All of these are micro-seasons of discontent. Think about how these things thread through our daily thinking and interactions.- -Last Wednesday, Dr. Christopher Passalacqua, one of Grace Gospel Fellowship's elders, continued his sermon on -The Antivenom To Our Discontent-.

The Cross of Jesus can be lifted high, but can also be found in low places. Jesus knew he was going to be in Hell for that time. Jesus descended in to Hell to preach to the lost? Was it to experience the total separation from God on our behalf? Why? All the acts Satan are the acts of a defeated foe. We have nothing to fear if we trust in Jesus. There's no reason for us to hide from God.

Asking for referrals can be hard! I’m going to share how to make it not only easier but a natural part of your life as a hotelier/innkeeper.As an independent hotel, resort, inn or bed and breakfast, a very effective way to grow your business is through referrals. Unfortunately, referrals do not happen effortlessly. Yes, you might get the odd referral, but if you want your business to grow you have to both earn and ask for them. Let's begin by talking about how you can earn great referrals from your guests. "You can start by giving them an experience they will remember, you want to WOW your guests" Here some ways you can amaze or wow your guests: 1. Show your interest by really listening to them Ask the right questions during the check-in, in your restaurant, at the bar and listen to the answers but don't make it obvious. Why? All these answers can be recorded in your guest's profile to be used later. 2. Have the Appropriate Software System Ensure your guests 2nd, 3rd or 100th visit is as good as their first. Have systems in place to guarantee you are able to have the same degree of service on a consistent basis. A quality check-in system should enable you to build a profile for the guests that you can use for every visit. 3. Hire the Right Employees As I had mentioned in Series #2 "Employee Development", compassion cannot be taught, you can't give employees the desire to bend over backwards for customers. Hire employees that can show compassion with your guests. Have the appropriate systems and tools in place in order for them to deliver first-class service. 4. Know your Guests Learn your guest's names and use them. Also, teach your staff to recognize and remember loyal guests. This will form an immediate sense of hospitality that they'll certainly find flattering. ⇒ CONTINUE TO READ OR LISTEN TO THE REST OF THIS EPISODE ON KEYSTONE HOSPITALITY PROPERTY CONSULTING:https://keystonehospitalitydevelopment.com/KHDC161⇒ And don’t forget to join the “6 Day Challenge” here:https://keystonehospitalitydevelopment.com/6-day-challenge-log-in-here/RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Keystone HDC Post Downloads We add to them every month.https://KeystoneHospitalityDevelopment.com/KHDC140.Join our community in “The Hospitality Property School Group" – Check it Out for One Full Week for Only $1http://keystonehospitalitydevelopment.com/membership-siteSay hi on social:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KeystoneHDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/KeystoneHDCLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/keystone-hospitality-developmentListen to The Hospitality Property School Podcast here:https://keystonehospitalitydevelopment.com/itunes-podcasthttps://www.spreaker.com/keystonehdcYouTubehttps://youtu.be/U8jNMorR9G0

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and journalist and educator Ittay Flescher discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Labor Savers Young Turks, Old Guard, and Stern Generals battle for control of Israel’s Labor Party. Who has the best chance of saving from extinction the party of David Ben Gurion, Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin? Good Checkpoints Make Good Neighbors? New tricked-out hi-tech checkpoints that dramatically reduce the time it takes for Palestinians laborers to enter Israel, and make the process less frustrating and degrading: This sounds like good news, but it is? Nothing to be Proud Of? Israel’s first openly gay minister is jeered and hounded from Jerusalem’s Gay Pride parade, because of his poor record on LGBTQ issues, and his support of the Occupation. But should anyone be Queer-Non-Grata at the Pride Parade? Why All the Fuss Around David Friedman's Times Interview? For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss in our extra-special, special extra segment discuss American Ambassador to Israel David Friedman’s assertion to the Times that, among other things, “Under certain circumstances, I think Israel has the right to retain some, but unlikely all, of the West Bank.” Surely it was an interview full of sound and fury. Was it also an interview signifying nothing? All this and the indie, new wave pleasures of Yesh Lah Haver!

I Like Jesus, but... : the Book of Hebrews | I Like Jesus, but Why All the Blood? October 21, 2018 / Dwight Bernier The Bible is a bloody book. The perceived gore has turned many off from wanting to hear anything from the Bible. But somehow, we all like Jesus. In this sermon we will see why Jesus and blood are inseparable.

Hello and welcome!Today’s episode is called: “How To Get Comfortable With Being Vulnerable - Interview with Author Melissa Venable.”Melissa published her first book “Finding FabYOUlous” last year and she joined me to talk about the book itself and also to talk about the process of writing and publishing.This interview is gold for an aspiring writer...!If you’d prefer to watch the video version of this interview, you can do that at this link: http://www.mymessageislove.com/blog-articles/interview-with-author-melissa-venableEnjoy!********AOIFE:Hi everyone. I'm Aoife O’Leary and I am the creator of MyMessageIsLove.com and My Message Is Love is a writer's website. It’s for you if you want to write a book, if you're already writing, if need editing or copywriting services. Also it's got life musings in it because: all the good stuff!I have a special guest with me today. This is Melissa Venable and she is a writer and she just published her first book, “Finding FabYOUlous”. I'm going to read the subtitle because it's so cool I want to get it right: “A self-help with sass guide to finding, celebrating and capitalizing on the fabulousness that makes you YOU!So, thank you for being here, Melissa, and huge congratulations on your book!MELISSA:Well, thank you! I'm excited to be here to tell you all more about it!AOIFE:Absolutely! So let's start! Tell us about the book and tell us what it's about and who it's for and I have a whole load of other questions too…MELISSA:It’s called “Finding Fabulous” but with y-o-u instead of “u” in the normal spelling and the reason I did that is because this book is all about helping the reader get back to the person they were truly created to be before society and the world and everybody else, you know, with their input started piling all of their roles and their desires on the person.So it's just peeling back those layers and getting back to the person that you were truly created to be. Finding your true passions, your true desires and bringing those to life and letting them do their work in your life and in the world, because I feel like when we do that that's when we're going to be able to have the most impact and make the biggest difference in our families and our own personal lives, but in the world at large.So that's what it's all about.AOIFE:Yes! I know from reading this book that you have a lot of your own life stories within it, so did you have this idea for the book a little while ago or many years ago or was it recent?MELISSA: You know I, gosh, that was one of the biggest challenges with the book - was bringing kind of my own life stories into it because I mean, I'm not gonna lie there's some yuck in there, you know? I mean, things that are not real pretty to uncover and to talk about and write about and then to have other people read about.But at the same time I've also learned that my biggest messes have turned into my greatest messages, you know, and my tests have been my testimony, so that's why I always refer to myself. I'm like, when I'm introduced to something I'm like “from trainwreck to trainer” because I've been the train wreck - I know what it's like to have a life without control and that's hard and that you struggle, but I've come out of that and I'm living a truly fabulous life now.But I'm also nothing special. if I can do it anybody can do it, so that's what I wanted to make sure that this book – that message that it got out: That if you've gone through stuff – as we all have - you can turn it around and you can get back to who you were truly meant to be. You can make right that situation and have a really fabulous life as well.So, I've had the idea to write the book for probably 4 to 5 years, but I had the idea but didn’t necessarily have the guts. So it took a little while kind of processing through some of that. It's like, you know, if I'm going to do this I’m going to have to be willing to share you know the train wreck moments so people can truly understand that I have been there done. My thing now is “been there, done that, wrote the book!”It takes a little bit of courage to kind of, you know, be willing to put yourself out there and be vulnerable in that way. So the idea was there probably 4 or 5 years ago but the last 18 months I really got serious about like, “No, you know what? I am going to do this. I think it can help people and so I'm going to do this.”So, yeah, it's been percolating for a while…AOIFE:Did you have a particular reader in mind when you were creating your book?MELISSA:Yeah, you know I think anybody will love my book, and I mean, I hope that's true, but really, the demographic I really hope to hit was probably in my mind. My ideal reader was somebody who is maybe midlife or maybe not quite that, but 35 to 55. Somebody in that age range that was going through some transitions in her life, who was thinking, “You know, there's got to be more to it than what I'm doing right now.”Maybe feeling just kind of a little bit of unease, you know? Maybe they're going through something hard and they need some hope and they need some strategies to get through that, or maybe they're just feeling a little discontent, like, “there's got to be more to life than what I'm doing now every day, day in and day out.” So I think that that's really who my book is geared to and I think who will benefit the most from it.AOIFE:Did you feel that writing with a particular kind of sense, rather than a particular person in mind, but a sense, did that change the direction or your the way you?MELISSA: It did, it just gave me clarity. I wasn't trying to write to the masses, you know. This book is not going to appeal to my 19-year-old son, though he'sread it, to give him credit. He has read it. But, you know, it’s probably not his thing.When I thought about the person that I truly wanted to speak into the heart of: a woman, maybe 40, maybe feeling a little discontent or having been going through something difficult - a divorce, a career change, something like that. So, the person I wanted to most give hope to - when I thought about that person it really helped me dial in the message and get a lot more clear on how I wanted to deliver that. So I think that was hugely beneficial and when I would start to get off track or feel like I was kind of going down a rabbit hole, I would start to bring myself back to who that person was and who I was writing to, and that would really help me get back on the on the right course for the book.AOIFE:So you had the idea for the book and then it was percolating in your mind and over the last 18 months was really when you knuckled down to do the work. So was there something that happened in the middle there? Or a decision point or what inspired you?MELISSA: Yeah I mean, I kind of think it was a midlife crisis. I turned 47 and something about turning 47 - I mean not like 47 is some magicalnumber - but it's like something in my head click, “Oh my gosh, I'm3 years away from being 50 and if I am ever gonna do some of these things that I say I want to do I need to getcrackin’”.And also I kind of hit a point in my life where … In mybook I talk about my struggle with an eating disorder, I talk about my struggle to get out of an emotionally and physically abusive marriage. I talk about those things. But I'm at a point in my life now that those things are far enough behind me that I can talk about them without the pain and without the angst that they bring up and in a way that I think is helpful now.Once I got to that point I was like, “Okay, now it's time. I worked through that and I'm beyond that now, so I think now is the time that I could take what I learned going through all that and package it in a way that can be helpful to other people - even if they are in obviously very different situations.”I just think it took a little while. I had to kind of get past that and heal from some of that on my own, so that then I could help others kindof go through that process too. In the last 18 months, I was like, “I'm there. I'm fine. My life is on a good trajectory now. I love my cat. Now is the time and I'm gonna be 50 in 3 years! Get crack-a-lackin' on this, so I think that it's just a kind of a culmination of those things coming together all at once.AOIFE:How was it to write these personal things and share these personal stories- because I have to say that's something that I still shy away from – and also, did you set boundaries around that for yourself or were there places that you were not willing to go? How did it all feel?MELISSA: I think, sure, there are probably still things that are not in my book and those are probably just things that are just going to be with me, you knowthey're mine. I didn't really think some of those would be beneficial to the reader anyway so that doesn't need to be included.I did have some boundaries of what I was and was not willing to share, but when I approached it I just kept thinking, “Yeah, this is hard. This was hard stuff that I went through and these steps I had to take and the therapy that I went through and all those things that I had to go through in order to have this experience.”I'm like if it's helpful, though, if it has the potential to help somebody elsethen I want to be able to include that. I had to get comfortable with being vulnerable because there is stuff in there that it's like, “Woooooo…. Yeah… now my parents have read this book!!”Yeah, but you have to be willing to be vulnerable and be open about it. I just kept thinking in my head - the thing that kept me on track – is if I feel like this is genuinely gonna have the opportunity to benefit somebody else, then I want to include it, so that just the kind of spin that I had the entire time.But yeah, it was a little hard sometimes, but now look the book is out and I'm getting feedback I am just so glad that I included some of those parts because I feel like those are the things people are coming to talk to me about those are the things that they bring up – those harder moments are what touched them and what have really inspired and helpedthem. So I'm glad that I included those.AOIFE: Yeah it's our humanity. Even if the circumstances are different, we all understand pain and understand those feelings of really being at your lowest.MELISSA:Right, right.AOIFE:So just to shift it a little bit… what was your writing process like on aday-to-day basis?MELISSA: I wish I could say that I'm one of those people that you know jumpsoutta bed at 4 o'clock in the morning and writes for 3 hours. I'm not. Iwish it was. I'm not. I tend to be more productive at night - I'm a night owl by nature.AOIFE:Yeay! So am I!MELISSA: Oh, great! I’m glad to hear that. So, my mind tends to be more active at night, you know when the house is quiet, people are in bed. I can really focus and do my writing then. My process really was – I don't know that I had a process. My thing was I made myself write every single day.I say every single day but there were a couple times when my husband and I would go on a vacation and I didn't and there was one time when I had pneumonia and I was in bed and I was like “I can't! I can't even get out of bed, I’m not going to write.”But, barring those kinds of things, I made myself write every single day. There were some days where I would crank out an entire chapter and I'd be on a real roll. There were other days where it was a struggle just to get a paragraph, but nonetheless I would make myself sit down at thecomputer and write.I feel like that consistency was so important and I think the hardest part for me honestly every single day was just getting started - was just getting my butt in the chair and, you know, the keyboard there and actually to start to open the file and start typing. That was the hardest part. Once I got past that first sentence or two, then it got much easier, but just having the discipline and the consistency to write something every single day. Once I started the writing then I found that it usually it would start to flow. I'd get kind of in that, you know, that momentum going.So that was basically my process - nothing too super scientific or, you know, fascinating I guess, but just the consistency.AOIFE:So when you had your first draft written, what was your editing process from there through to the end? Were there multiple edits or did youhave BETA readers or what was best for you?MELISSA: Yes, yes and yes.I'll confess, so I at first, you know, never having done this before I was like “You know, my degree is in English, I know punctuation, I can edit this thing, no problem!” I did read it several times myself and I did learn that the problem withthat is that as the author I know what the book is supposed to say. I know what it's supposed to say. So when I read it in my head that's what I read, even though I might have two words mixed up or I might have a word missing or something. In my head I know what it's supposed to say so that's how I read it. That's why I think it's so crucial that you have somebody else read your book as well.Thankfully, I have a good friend who is a copy editor and she read it through and I will tell you that it was painful to get my pages backwith so much red on them. I'm like, “Wait, my degree is in English. I'm supposed to be good at this. What is all this red here for?” But it was very, very helpful.Then I did also have some BETA readers too and they would give me feedback, like, “Okay, you're kind of on a rabbit hole here… this is a little confusing” and they helped me tighten it up too.But, then again I read the thing also probably 17 bazillion times myself just trying to tweak it and get it to where I was really happy with it. So I do think no matter how good you think you are - and you are I'm sure you are - again my degree is in English, I'm supposed to know this stuff - It is so important to get another set of eyes I think on your materialbecause they will just catch things that you don't.I'm fortunate that the editor that I did have, again, was a friend of mine so she knows my voice she knows how I talk and how I present ineveryday life and it was really important to me that my book wasauthentic to that I wanted to sound like me. So she was able to read it with that kind of ear. She knew how I sounded anyway so she was able to do that, but she would catch when I would have “and and” in a sentencethat I somehow I didn't see or whatever. I didn’t catch those things. So it’s a little painful to have your pages come back to you with that much red on them but it's so, so helpful.AOIFE:I'm usually the person making the red marks!MELISSA: God bless you! I mean… I don’t like you for those reasons, but we need you so much! We need you so badly!AOIFE:So you decided to self-publish. Was that a decision you made from the get-go or did you consider traditional publishing or what was it aboutself-publishing that made you choose that?MELISSA: Okay, actually no. My original intention was to go traditional publishing and I had a publisher that I’d been talking with and was interested in the book. I was going down that path. The thing that just kept kind of sticking in my craw a little bit was like “Man” – and now I will say it was a small publishing - but still you know traditional publishing this like, that's always what you want, right?” But when I started going through the contracts looking at what they were presenting to me, I was like “Man”, I was gonna be doing a lotof work and writing this book and yet I was going to be making just very, very little on my book and yet I was still going to be expected to do so much of the marketing myself. The more I looked at that I was just like, “This doesn't really make sense to me.”So then I went - you know, I still kind of had that as an option but then Istarted looking around and I looked at some indie publishers, thepublisher where you can pay them and they'll take your pages and they'll turn it into a book. I was like, “Okay, well that would be easy… you know just give them my stuff and pay them”. Except for it's not so easy when you know that's $3,500 that they want to make your book into a book. So I was like, “Okay, I don't really want to do that.”But, I’m a big fan, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with her, but, I’m a big fan of Marie Forleo. She's a business guru and I just I love her, andshe's got MarieTV on YouTube, and one of her catchphrases that she always uses is: “Everything is figure-out-able” and I'm like, “Okay, if everything is figure-out-able, I should be able to figure out how to self publish this book, still have it look like a quality piece of work and professional. I should be able to figure this out. So I just set out to figure this out – and thanks to online courses and you know information I got off of Pinterest and all these different things, I was able to figure it out.It took me more time, you know, I mean obviously it took me time toresearch how to use Createspace, how to format my book properly, how to do all these things. I did hire someone to do my cover because I wanted that to look really good. So, you know, I just kind of went with that “everything is figure-out-able” and I figured it out.And because of that I now have a product that I'm proud of that looks great, I think, but I didn't have to pay somebody $3,500 to do it and I'mnot paying or somebody's not taking a huge cut of every book sale now because of that.Now, will I do that again? Probably. I mean, obviously, if one of the big publishers came knocking on my door, then we'll talk, but until that time I think that self-publishing is a real viable option for people. I thinkthat a lot of authors are realizing this and going that way now. So, don't think that you have to be traditionally published to have a quality piece of work nowadays. That's just not the case anymore.AOIFE:… and you can still get your books in libraries and in bookshops…MELISSA: also absolutelyAOIFE: Oh, are you a B-schooler?MELISSA: Not yes, but I think I'm going to be! Right now I am enrolled in acertification course for life coaching, so I mean, I'm getting a certificationfor that. As soon as that's done, my next thing is going to be B-School, so you know Marie Forleo? Yeah, yeah. I just love that.So I'm going to be, yeah!AOIFE:Presuming you're writing another book - for some reason I have a sense that you have more books in you – So, presuming you're writing another book, what are things that you will absolutely do next time and what are some things you will change?MELISSA: So absolutely I will go back to my write every day. I mean that'sthe thing I just kind of have to do that - I will write every day. I’m fortunate now that I've done it once, I've got one under my belt you know, so now I know how to format a book, I know how to use Createspace. I don't have to re-learn all of that, thank the good Lordfor that. So I will do some of those things again, but I think again theconsistency. I will continue to always hire someone to do my covers. I will continue to have someone edit my book for me. So those kinds ofthings.The thing that I hope not to do is to let the fear and just “Ohgosh, is anybody gonna read this?” and “Why? All this is just a waste of time… nobody's gonna want to read this garbage,” and blah blah blah blah blah.I'm not gonna let that hold me back this time because now I've done oneand lo and behold people are reading it and people are enjoying it and so now I’m just kind of like, “Okay, I can do this. I've done it I can do it and it's gone well.” So I'm going to try - I'm not saying I’ll be perfect at this one – but I'mgonna try to leave some of that fear and angst behind me and just forgeon. You know, move forward with things more quickly without the hesitation and the doubt. Hopefully. My lips to God's ears… we'll see. Hope it works out that way.AOIFE:Actually I was gonna ask you this after a couple of questions, but now seems a good time. When did you encounter any sort of moments ofresistance or “what am I doing?” or even procrastination orany of those human things that hit us when we're creating anything? How did you work through that if you came across those kind of moments?MELISSA: Yeah so I had to get just really, really, really clear on my why. Why am I doing this? And, you know I will tell you that my why for writing my book is I basically I just wanted originally - originally - I just wanted this to be like a fancy business card, okay?I wanted it to open doors for my coaching programs. I wanted it to open doors for speaking engagements and workshops - something I could sell on a back table if I did workshops - those kinds of things.I wasn't even really thinking about it as far as book signings and selling itand all that it was more just something I wanted to help promote otherthings that I had going on. So the fact that it then actually started to sellthat was just you know icing on the cake for me. That was great.So I think when I felt the resistance, though, I would have to take myself back to why I originally was wanting to do this - the people I thought I could help. You know, I have a vision board. I'm all about that kind of stuff, thinking about you know where you want to be in your life and I would just get refocused back on those things. Like, “This is why it's important to me - whether I ever sell a copy or not, I know that it can help me further my work in my coaching, the things that are important to me.” So I think it's just you really have to be really clear on your why and if you're clear enough on that coming back to that is what can help keeping you on the right track - help you to forge on when it's tough, when you're in that resistance and you're like “Nobody’s going to read this junk! Why am I doing this? Oh my gosh, this is terrible!”There were times when I was writing and thinking, “Tthis is terrible. This is terrible.” and I’d go back and I'd edit whenever and take it out, butgoing back to my why is just the thing that kept me going. So I think you have to be really, really, really firm on why you’re doing it and then be able to call on that when you need it - because there will be times, I promise, it’s doesn’t matter how great a writer you are. There will betimes you'll look at this and think, “This is garbage. Why am I even doing this?” It just happens - whether you're having a bad day or something – it will just happen. So just be really clear on why you're doing it and let that be kind of the fuel that keeps you going.AOIFE:Did you have any support people around? In your book you talk about “run through the sprinklers and stay away from the drains”, so you can explain that property better than me.MELISSA: Yes, I think we probably all have both kinds of people in our lives.So… sprinklers… okay, in the book this is how I describe different people. We have sprinklers in our lives. These are the people that love and support us and they just sprinkle their joy and love and support on youand you just blossom when you're in their presence, okay? But then we also have drains - and those are the people who literally being in their presence just drains the energy right out of you. And a lot of times we can just walk into a room with the person and immediately know what kind of person they're going to be.So I think it's very, very important, especially when you're undergoing something like writing a book or an important task that's really important to you, is that you spend as much time as possible with those sprinklers - those people who believe in you and who will encourage you and feed into you and, you know, keep you going when things are hard.Fortunately my amazing husband is one of those for me. My parents are those for me. I have some great friends, girlfriends, that'd be like, “Okay, we need the next chapter. Is it written yet? We've gotta keep reading!” So they would keep me going.And even I have two college-age sons - they're 19 and almost 22 – clearly, not the demographic for my book, but they knew I was writing a book and, God bless them, they were like, “How's the book coming, Mom?” They were really encouraging too -and my stepdaughter. So I really did have a core group of people that when I was in tears I'm like, “Honestly, I’m just going to chuck this whole thing,” they were like “No, no. We need the next chapter. We're hooked!”So having those kinds of people is very, very important, I think, and also being able to erect solid boundaries around the drains, because that's important too, I think. So, yeah, get your support team togetherAOIFE:Did you have, when you were beginning writing, was there anything that you just didn't anticipate? Or you didn't know that something was going to go a certain way or that's sort of surprised you with the writing or anything?MELISSA: Yeah, so the thing that surprised – so when I started writing my book the thing that scared me the most was like, “I am NOT gonna have enough to say to fill a book. I'm gonna have four pages and be done. I'm not gonna have enough to say.” Well, what surprised me was that I actually ended up having way toomuch to say. I actually ended up – and, oh God, this was painful, but - I actually ended up cutting out 12 chapters – 12 chapters - of my book because turned out I had written like the next “War and Peace”.So now I have like almost another book ready to go just from those12 chapters I pulled out of this one. So I think that really surprised me that once I sat down and started writing that it just flowed and it came out and I ended up with so much more than I anticipated. So I did not expect that at all. I thought I was gonna be, you know, pulling teeth just to come up with enough to fill a book.So I think that was the biggest surprise - that I had more to say than I really anticipated.Yeah and I think that a nice surprise is just how well it's been received. I mean that just makes my heart so happy that people are reading it andthey're enjoying it and their lives are being touched by it and they're able to make sustainable change in their lives because of it. So that's just something I didn't necessarily - I hoped for but I didn't anticipate. I didn't know if it was going to actually come to be and it is.AOIFE:Actually my next question is about what's been most rewarding for you about having your book at in the world and the impact that it's making on the people who read it? How is that feeling?MELISSA: There is no greater feeling when I have somebody come up to me it's like, “Oh my gosh, I read your book”. Especially, you expect your friends to come say nice things to you, but when it's somebody that you don't even really know that you know but they've got your book and they've read it and they're like, “I've been through a similar situation” or “I had divorce” or “I'm struggling with a job situation, but reading your book has really helped me gain some clarity and I'm able to get to figure out what it is exactly that I want and now take some concrete steps in that direction”.Another piece of feedback that I really have enjoyed hearing is people tell me that in the personal development genre there are a lot of really inspiring books out there. You can go to any bookstore and there's a shelf full – lots of inspiration. But what people told me they liked about mine is that not only is it inspiring it's also actionable.You know it's like it’s great to get inspired, but then you need something to kind of help you road map, to help you take some real concrete steps to live that life that you're now so inspired to follow after - and they liked that my book not only provides the inspiration, but it provides the actionable steps that you can take too - so that’s really – I loved hearing that; that people are actually kind of putting it into work and that it's it's benefiting them.AOIFE:What advice would you give to somebody - say you know when 4 or 5 years ago you were starting to the ideas and then in the last year and a half you've been really like focused on it - so and if you go back say from 4 years go to 1 and a half years ago. For the people in that stage - they want to write and they don't have the confidence yet or they don't feel brave enough yet or they're second-guessing themselves or wondering if they can do it. What would you say to them?MELISSA: I would say write. Just start writing. Yeah. Write.The best way to fight fear, I think, is action. Action is the best way to fight beer and if you start taking action. And yeah, okay, some of it might not be good, I mean I get that - not everything I wrote was good - but just start writing. Start the process. Just start getting some words down on the page and even if that's not what you end up going with down the road, I mean that's fine. At least you're starting the habit You're starting to get yourself in that mental space where you're a writer, but I just think you just have to write.Even, I mean, there were plenty of things I wrote and no one will ever read. They didn't make it to a book. They weren't good and nobody's ever read it, but still just that that practice of sitting down and writing and being a writer - because all you have to do to be a writer is write. You don't necessarily have to be published. You don't have to be.Also, I’m a runner. I'm not a great marathon or anything. You don'thave to be. All you have to do to be a runner is run, you know? So I run a little.All you have to do to be a writer is write.So you sit down at your desk and you start to write and you start to get some words on paper. I think it's therapeutic. I think it's empowering and, again, the best way to combat fear is through action - so start taking that action and then as you write you'll come up with your outline, how you want things to flow and all that. You can start arranging the pieces, but my biggest piece of advice would just be to writeAOIFE:It also brings to mind in the book you mentioned Newton's Laws ofPhysics – that a body that's in motion tends to stay in motion, a bodythat's at rest tends to stay at rest. I did 2 years, maybe 3 years of Physics in school and that’s all I held on to!MELISSA: Isaac Newton! I find that his laws… those are so applicable in this, and in anything. It’s like if you just get started… it's overcoming that initial inertia of being at rest. You know, if you can overcome that and get yourself in motion you'll tend to stay in motion. So once you start writing it'll start to flow - so that's why you just gotta get started and do it!AOIFE:So what's next for you?I know http://fabyoulouslife.com/ is your website and your mission and movement and the book is part of this - and you said that you're getting a coaching certification. What's next for you and where can people find out more about you?MELISSA: Absolutely, yeah. So they can find out more about me at my website which is http://fabyoulouslife.com/ I am getting a special certification for coaching, but I am a coach already so I do coaching and speaking and those kinds of things. I do have - my next book is in the process of being written right now, so I have that that I'm hoping to have out by the end of the year. That's my goal. I need it to really because it's called “The Fabulist” and it's 365 – well, it's more of a guided journal almost, but it's lists that you make every single day that help you discover more about who you are.So I want it to come at the end of the year because I think it'd be something great just for people start at the beginning of the year - sothat's the goal so I'm working on that right now.But, yeah we're also doing workshops and coaching and all kinds of things so just go to http://fabyoulouslife.com/ and you can get all the information there.I'd also encourage people while they're there to sign up to get on my mailing list – which, a box will pop up where you can do that - because then you'll be in the loop whenever something new or different comes on the scene. You'll be one of the first to know. So there's that - lots of great things.AOIFE:Well, thank you so much, Melissa Venable, for being here and for sharing all your wisdom with us.I know that's going to be really helpful to some writers who are about to get started and for people who want to read “Finding FabYOUlous” as well.Thank you, so much.MELISSA: Thank you.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week TechCrunch's Matthew Lynley and Crunchbase News's Alex Wilhelm were joined by Jyoti Bansal, the founder of AppDynamics and a partner at Unusual Ventures, among other startup work. Our own Connie Loizos was off this week. This episode was effectively a news grab-bag. There's a little of everything: public company drama, big rounds, acquisitions, and more. Up top: Apple's broaching of the $1 trillion barrier, which some people called early and some people called late. It depends on how you were counting. But the venerable consumer electronics giant did indeed manage to hoist its market cap over the trillion dollar mark, making it the first American company to do so. But as we all wind up agreeing, it's just a round number. Moving along Sonos's IPO had a good first day but only after a disappointing pricing run. Or as Lynley explains on the show, the firm had to price under its target range to go out, but then closed above that target range by the end of its first day's trading. This is more evidence that pricing an IPO is an occult art of sorts. (More here on the company's numbers.) Scooting along, Duo Security is exiting to Cisco for $2.35 billion. This deal came at quite literally the perfect moment as the company our guest founded sold to Cisco for $3.7 billion last year. Why? Recurring revenue, which is seeing its value rise. And finally, Brandless, which picked up a massive $240 million round led by the ever-hungry SoftBank Vision Fund. A deal to which I had a question: Why? All that and we even managed to tell a joke and mangle a segue. More next week!

When reading the Bible people often ask “What does that mean?” Some things are very clear, such as God’s plan of salvation. Some points of connection in God’s overarching theme throughout the Bible are clear such as God’s command to put the blood of a slain lamb on the entrance to the home, saving the Israelites from death in the tenth plague of Egypt was a foreshadowing and a physical confession in the salvation of God . . .Yeshua. Why All the Differences of Opinion in the Christian Church? However, we often enter murky waters beyond that when it comes to making a connection between the Old Testament and the New. Some of the most spirited, and often vicious, debates in the church over the past two millennia have related to the doctrine of the church. How are we saved? It is for all (John 3:16, John 3:9) or only for a select few? Can we choose to come to God or are we compelled irresistibly by God? Is salvation complete at the moment of confession or is it a progressive process? Each of these questions have caused massive rifts within the body of Christ. What we individually believe about each of these issues is very often dictated by our denominational background. We believe a certain way because that is what we have been taught. Each of these positions have been vigorously defended over time and each side has a fair number adherents. However, just because a number of people believe a certain thing does not make it true. So, how do we determine what a particular passage of Scripture really means? How are we to understand it? How do we interpret it? Rediscovering the Original Context of Scripture All of the words Jesus spoke were to Jews within the land of Israel who followed the Levitical laws and the sacrificial system established at the time of the Exodus. Every letter of the New Testament was written by a Jew (except for perhaps Hebrews) that was raised in that environment since birth. Every word spoken and written was either by or to people who saw the observance of the Day of Atonement as a mandatory act, one that was required to be observed each year in order to have their name written in the Book of Life. We can’t have any sort of meaningful conversation about the big questions in Christianity until we look at how each of the concepts underlying our doctrines were originally understood by observant Jews. By observant Jews, I mean those of the Second Temple period. Jesus and his apostles would not recognize very much in the practices of modern Judaism. A Christian researching this era must also understand that even the Talmud and the Mishnah, Jewish commentary on Scriptures and practices, postdate Christianity by at least two centuries and only reflect the beliefs of one particular sect of Second Temple Judai...

Many of our clients ask, “What is the market like?” Today, I’d like to share some information that recently came in for the entire state of Montana. We’ll compare the the market from 2015 and 2016 and explore why the numbers are what they are. Let’s start with Billings. From 2015 to 2016, the number of sales dropped by 7%. That’s probably because of the oil patch slowing down. The good news is that the sales price hasn’t changed. So, although the market has some strength, there are fewer transactions. Livingston saw no changes in the number of transactions or in sales price, so that market has held steady for the last two years. Now, Bozeman is the hotbed as far as market activity goes. They have a good number of transactions and the average sales price is $400,000, which is the highest in the state! Great Falls saw no increase in the number of transactions or the average sales price. Helena didn’t have any changes in the number of transactions, but they did see a 9% increase in the average sales price. Why? All of the bank repossessions are gone and entry-level housing has been bought up. New construction has not replaced that inventory yet, so there is more demand in Helena than there is supply. Missoula held steady from 2015 to 2016, with the same number of home sales and the same average sales price. On the other hand, Flathead Valley’s sales went down 10% in 2016. However, the average sales price did go up 4%. Sometimes, when we get out of area customers that are in strong markets, like Chicago, Denver, and Seattle, they are coming from a much more competitive market. Those markets have larger population bases that can fuel supply and demand. It can be difficult for those customers to come to Montana and transition out of a market where people are fighting for homes with multiple offers over asking price. “Montana has a lower population base to drive the market.” Montana has a lower population base and a limited economic base that does not fuel the market in the same way, so we really depend on those outside resources to come in. Lately, those outside resources have been lagging a bit. We’ll see what will happen in 2017. If you have any other questions about our current market or if you would like to learn more about other real estate topics, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

On Palm Sunday, the church remembers the occasion when Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Why? All four biographies of Jesus in the New Testament describe what he did, but none of them explain the significance of his action. When the crowds threw palm branches in his path, what did it mean to them? What does it mean for us today? Pastor Luke teaches from Luke 19:28-44 NIV in "Meet the New Boss."

Rev. Dr. David D. Young offers his sermon "Why All the Questions?" to kick off the Neighborhood Church of Palos Verdes' new sermon series-- "Questions and the Quest." Scripture readings of the dat are Genesis 3: 1-24 and Luke 2: 41-52.

It's our 21st episode! Our show is legal now, so we drink while doing this one! Join Toby, Tyler, Kristen, Caleb, and Rudy as we talk prohibition! The conspiracy behind it. What the government did to make booze look scary! We also compare it to something that is recently going on.. Did the government poison alcohol? Would Rudy like to join the Anti-Saloon League? Was the a scheme to get more tax money? Did Tyler make toliet wine while in the Navy? What is Rudy making Kermit the Frog do that is making Toby so uncomfortable? Were a bunch of buisness hurt by the prohibition in the 20's? Was a ton of money wasted in trying to enforce the prohibition? Was alcohol used as "medicine"? Did the amount of priest increase during prohibition? Why? All this and more probably won't be answered as we... TRY TO EXPLAIN THE UNEXPLAINABLE!

"A firestorm of chatter in the political class was set off this weekend by a New York Times article revealing that Vice President Joe Biden is revisiting running for president. With that has come questions as to whether it’s too late, could he win the primary and is he a viable general election candidate? The simple answer: Yes. Why? All thanks to the opening created by fellow Democrat and apparent leader Secretary Hillary Clinton. Right now, Biden appears to be everything that Clinton is not.  Looking back on the 2012 election, the exit polling made it clear that character, not issues, were a top deciding factor when going to the polls. Though sometimes by just a hair, Romney almost always came out on top when issues-related polling questions such as, “Which candidate do you trust to do a better job of handling the economy?” were asked. However, when the question, “Who do you think better understands the economic problems of people in this country?” were asked, Obama handily dominated. Voters related to Obama, felt they could trust him, and believed he shared their values. This is the exact dichotomy that Biden could bring to the Democratic primary if he were to enter the race. It is the void created by Clinton and her campaign that Biden could fill. With Biden, what you see is what you get. He is approachable, warm, and he embraces people. He doesn’t stand in a Chipotle line in a key swing state and not say a word while hiding behind his aviators. He does the opposite and mixes and mingles as he did at a Jamaican restaurant in Miami last year. In a possibly foreshadowing sign, he autographed the restaurant wall right above Hillary Clinton at Rosalie’s Cucina in Skaneateles, NY. There have been some questionable moments of embrace, like the time he rubbed the incoming Defense Secretary’s wife’s shoulders while whispering into her ear at a press announcement. But those are the moments the public love too and help make him real, like the crazy funny uncle we all have."

Picture it if you will, two men with the unique obsession to let a machine designate their very fates. Why?

Lots of programs incorporate cheat meals and it really does work for some people. But is it a good idea long-term? You'll find out soon enough!  Plus, you've also probably heard the word "hater" being tossed around to describe people who are jealous, malicious, ignorant, or just plain hateful.
