The popularity of psychedelics in the West, particularly in the pursuit of spiritual experiences, is only becoming more and more popular. For this week's podcast Wes interviews Will Do, who grew up in a Buddhist household in Toronto and ended up later in his life following several New Age practices – including the partaking of several psychedelic substances. Will's desire to find truth ultimately led him out of the New Age and hallucinogenic substances and into following the one who is The Truth.
This week for the final service of 2023, a teaching team member leads us in a time of reflection and planning. Sunday, December 31, 2023 Sermon Audio: Sermon Video: Sermon videos will no longer be available. Please reach out to info@nowalls.org for more information.

Happy Monday Motivation! Welcome back to my podcast, No More Excuses! As we begin December, we have a lot of distractions with the holidays. This month can be stressful and it can steal your focus from you and your ability to achieve your goals. And... I'm not the only one talking about how to “Finish the year STRONG!” This is the time of the year when I ask my clients – and I'm asking you – not just “How will you finish the year strong?” but also, “What will you do DIFFERENTLY to help you FINISH STRONG?” Consistency is a big part of success, but the more important thing – as I preach all year long – is to check your progress and see how you're doing. With four weeks left in the year, how will you finish strong? How will you finish strong if you are not making progress? That's where finishing and doing something DIFFERENTLY comes in. Think back to how you finished last year. Did you achieve your goals? Or are you working on the same goals you had from last year? If that's the case then, do you really want to finish the same? What will you CHANGE to make sure you finish the year DIFFERENTLY? Listen in as I give you examples of common personal and professional goals and how to determine whether you need to do something differently or not. What's worked and not worked? And the million-dollar question: “Are you open to trying something different?” Are you satisfied with where you are, or are you settling? Are you already thinking to yourself" “There's always next year!” The people who tend to say that are the ones who just give up at the end of the year. My challenge for you today – and this week – is to really look at where you are with your goals and identify what is least ONE thing you WILL DO differently to end the year STRONG AS FUCK! and a little differently! As always, please feel free to post or comments, questions or email me at sandi@sandiballard.com. I'm here to help! I'd love to hear what you are doing DIFFERENTLY to finish the year S.A.F? Have a great week. PS: Watch for changes with the podcast next year! Including special monthly guests, getting back to my more edgier-self, promos just for you listeners, and a website dedicated just to this podcast! Cheers! Sandi

Transcript: WILL: This is the Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots Podcast, where we explore the design, development, and business of great products. I'm your host, Will Larry. VICTORIA: And I'm your other host, Victoria Guido. And with me today is Lonni Kieffer, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer at SmartCert, a universal cloud-based platform that simplifies every aspect of cert transfer. Lonni, thank you for joining me. LONNI: Thanks so much for having me. I love what you guys do. And I'm excited to contribute to the conversation. VICTORIA: Wonderful. Well, we like to warm up a little bit first before we dive into business topics. Anything exciting going on in your world, Will or Lonni? LONNI: I'll let Will start. WILL: It's funny because, with three small kids, I think we're finally starting to find our rhythm and our routine, so that's kind of exciting. I know it sounds boring, but when you have three small kids, routine, I feel like, is everything. We're starting to find that because a couple of weeks ago, my son had surgery. So, it threw all of our routines off and everything, and trying to help him get better and heal and everything. But now he's doing good. He's back running around, having fun. So yeah, getting back to that normal life it's exciting, and we're looking forward to it. LONNI: That makes so much sense. And I'm glad you mentioned kids because [laughs] I was also going to talk about my three kids and the fact that I am headed down to a family weekend tomorrow to join two-thirds of my daughters for a fun activity. It usually involves some fun meals, grocery shopping to fill [laughs] small college dorm refrigerators. But the challenge that I have then...Will, you have the young ones, and I have the older ones that are definitely going to keep me on my toes. I don't know that I can keep up with college life so much. So, usually, this is really fun but also really exhausting [laughs]. WILL: I promise you, they're looking forward to it, so don't underestimate what you're doing [laughs]. LONNI: [chuckles] Yes, for sure. VICTORIA: I'm going to feel bad with my update [laughs]. It's like, oh, I'm surfing. I think I was in a surf film yesterday on accident, which was pretty funny. And then I'm going to surf this afternoon and climb. Which you're talking about being on a routine and I just...I can't seem to get my routine of when I'm surfing or when I'm climbing figured out to the point where I just keep, like, exhausting myself trying to do both [laughs]. But that's what's going on in my world. But I am not quite on the kids and baby train yet. But it does sound fun. It sounds...it encompasses a lot. And then you get to just experience a different time of their life compared to what you're going through. WILL: Yeah, don't feel bad talking about something else, and fun. Like, today, I signed up for a kickball league in my area. So, I'm looking forward to it. So, I have those activities also. That's a must, I feel. LONNI: That's so true, any kind of outdoor time. Even just reading about all the statistics now about direct sunlight, I think it's so incredibly important to weave that into the day. So, Victoria, I give you mad props for having a full agenda of those [laughs] activities. VICTORIA: That's good. I'm glad to hear you're having some fun, too, Will and Lonni, getting out there, getting outside in the sunshine while it's still here. Yeah, I appreciate that. So, I'm curious...you know, that's what humans do best, right? Like humans, we're supposed to be outside. We're supposed to be, like, enjoying the sunshine. We're not supposed to be managing paperwork every day [laughs]. So, could you tell me a little bit more about SmartCert and the mission behind the company? LONNI: For sure. The paperwork side is truly sad. I was having a discussion with a customer yesterday, and they still receive 90% of the product certs as paper from their vendors. And if you imagine not only the time that it takes to use paper these days [laughs] but the cost associated with that, I think there's some painful statistics around the fact that companies spend on average almost $500 a day on paper and toner. And, you know, our goal started three years ago when the founder, Lyndon Lattie, who had spent 20 years in manufacturing and distribution in aerospace, finally decided to quit his perfectly good job and really work on alleviating a lot of the bottlenecks and hurdles that's really prevalent in supply chains. Every little nut and bolt that goes into an aircraft requires a lot of documentation that provides traceability to acknowledge that these parts meet the standards that the industry holds that we all have confidence in. So, when there isn't a paper trail or documents go missing, things get very expensive and chaotic. And what we're trying to do is really remove paper [laughs], the physical part of it, from the equation and use the cloud to not only receive documents from suppliers but store them and send them on to customers. So, we're not only speeding things up, but we're also checking the box on sustainability and helping a fairly antiquated industry move forward with innovation and technology. WILL: I love that idea because I'm the type of person that I don't use journals or things like that or paper to-do lists because I lose them all. And I like to think I'm a fairly responsible person, and I still lose them all. I love having it on my phone because I know exactly where it's at. 9.9 times out of 10, I have my phone with me. So, when I think of an idea, I have it; I can do something on it. In your experience, I don't know if you have this number or if you can estimate how often does paper certifications go missing, do you think? LONNI: We're talking to some big, big aerospace companies these days, and they have estimated on a daily basis that 80 to 100 shipments have paperwork problems. So, when you think about the sheer volume on a daily basis and the time that it requires to really enable teams to track down paperwork, sometimes you go to your vendor and ask for the documentation, and they have to go back in time because they don't have it. Those delays can halt manufacturing and certainly make a big impact on profitability and just the ability to do business. VICTORIA: Right. And from my background working in the federal government space for a while, I have a sense of just how many rules and regulations a particular product might have applied to it. And thinking about, like, the aerospace where, like, down to the individual bolts and nuts have to have all the specifications and the documentation of, like, the size, and where it came from, and the materials. And if you lose that, then you can't...it's, like, you can't work, or you have to go back to a manufacturer. So, how does SmartCert start to solve that issue? LONNI: One of the big things that we're focused on this year is making it easier to receive documents from suppliers. It's the one place that a lot of companies don't have control over. You could have a strong internal process. You could have a strong process for sending these documents to your customers, but you're still at the mercy of what your suppliers choose to do. Our big focus this year is starting with vendor accountability and starting to be able to compile data around vendor performance with documents but also start to create a more standard receiving process. So, next month, we are launching a new feature where you could take an email or a digital document, even if you do have to scan it in from a supplier and add that all to your shared dashboard. And the idea here is to create a strong internal process instead of being at the mercy of your vendors but also make things work faster once documents are received. Usually, that effort is pretty siloed, where there's one receiving team, the processing and review team. The quality team is waiting for the documents. When you start to give everyone access to documents as they're received, you certainly can see cutting down on the steps and fostering stronger communication among internal teams. So, because you now have a good repository and time and date-stamped information, you can start to see the vendors that are costing you money, have the conversations ahead of contracts. There's a big focus on vendor scorecards and continuous improvement in the industry. So, our goal is to be able to provide that centralized repository where the data comes to life instead of multiple people receiving certs and processing certs. That's one big focus on the receiving side. And then, from an internal perspective, we've built the tools in SmartCert that enable the teams, once the documents are received, to quickly search in the document, make sure that the information is included and accurate. If it is, they can digitally sign and approve it, which is a common next step. If there is information missing, they can reject those certs and kind of maintain the communication within the same platform instead of going into an email and waiting on when to provide updated documents. We're focused on, again, keeping the conversation within one platform. And then, on the customer side, it's the same thing: the traceability, the visibility of sending documents. So many companies are at the mercy of customers losing paperwork or asking them to resend it. And those are the things that we've eliminated by providing dashboard-to-dashboard delivery and that centralized access. So, even if the buyer you work with is on vacation, your certs aren't sitting in an email inbox for the next five days, not being accessible to the rest of the team. So, those kinds of, I think, focuses on efficiency all the way through the process are where we really feel will make a big impact for every company, large and small. WILL: So, I know in the past you started multiple companies, and then about four years ago, you started SmartCert. So, how was the beginning getting traction for SmartCert? And were there any benefits to being a founder in the past that helped you with SmartCert? LONNI: I love that question. My efforts at entrepreneurship certainly help. You know, you recognize that the ball's in your court in every facet of the business, the hats that you have to wear across everything you do and want to accomplish. It helped provide a good foundation. SmartCert certainly is more daunting and bigger than my past experiences. But having a good understanding of the requirements around flexibility, a willingness to figure things out on the fly, and a real confidence in what we're doing and believing in is so important. You know, we are working to convince hundreds of thousands of companies to finally move away from super manual processes. And I think you have to have a lot of confidence and belief in not only what you're doing but the impact that you can make in order for you to keep going. And recognize if you are a new product in a new category, the path to building growth is usually pretty difficult. WILL: If there is someone who is thinking about starting a company, what advice would you give them? Because I know it's not easy to start a company. It's hard, let's just be honest, it's very hard. If you can give someone advice on, "Hey, take that next step, start it," what advice would you give them? LONNI: Well, I think you have to have the grit to get through the bad days. It is an insane roller coaster. But, for me, I think there are so many books and advice, and formulas out there for starting a business. You know, we've read every single book out there. And I think intuition is such a big piece of the potential and success for a business. While formulas and successful companies and what they share and how they did it is really helpful, I think at the end of the day, there may be moments that give you pause because it doesn't align with your intuition. And I think you really have to pay attention to those. So, we spent all of 2022 really working on the SaaS formula. We aligned our website and our conversations to fit those kinds of meetings and conversations. And it turns out because of the people we were talking to and the challenge with change management in this level of transition, the SaaS formula was not successful for us. We made a decision at the end of 2022 to move towards product-led growth, having about 1,000 companies. I hope that'll be next week—our big magic, fun, new milestone. We're really looking to empower the companies who are already participating on the network to drive growth. Many of them are receiving certs from our paying customers and just starting to get familiar with a new way of doing business. But things last year didn't feel right. It was incredibly frustrating to go through those motions and not have the success and metrics that were expected. The piece about intuition and being bold enough and confident enough in why you're doing what you're doing to be able to pivot is crucial. VICTORIA: So, you've talked to...or have over 1,000 customers. I wonder what was anything really surprising to you that you discovered in that process. LONNI: I think for us...and it kind of lends itself to the conversations we were having last year. To us and to our early adopters, SmartCert was a no-brainer. People that were spending eight hours a day were now spending an hour a day on the same work but just doing it much faster, reducing a lot of human error and automating so much of it. So, when we did have the conversations and make, you know, the introductions to the industry and work to build awareness, it was very obvious that change management is a paralyzing [laughs] aspect. And when technology is rearing its ugly head in the requirements for your business, the future of your business, I think for manufacturing and distribution, the timeline for a lot of that movement towards digital documents and working in the cloud was accelerated with COVID, with inflation. And all of a sudden, now there's companies who are leaping ahead and some that are falling behind. And it's now a requirement to prioritize more efficient processes simply because there's less people to do the work. And the companies who are taking advantage of innovation are really maximizing the opportunities to build their business, get more customers, and have more success. WILL: I was looking at your team, and it looks like you brought on the head of technology, I think, in 2022. And so, I think it was you and your co-founder in the very early days. How was it as a founder to build a technical app and going through that process? How was that process for you? LONNI: We were so lucky to partner with a local company in building out the MVP of SmartCert. They had an amazing team. They helped us bring to life a lot of Lyndon's ideas and also had a good background in supply chain. So, I always give props to TechFabric in Gilbert, Arizona, for giving us the opportunity to prove out the model. And that was then enabling us to get the funding and higher Mark who, I will say, every day I don't know how we became so lucky. I think startup life is challenging in and of itself. But he really embraced the mission and the opportunity to rebuild SmartCert from the ground up for the scalability it requires but to also embrace the security aspects that are coming to the industry, those compliance requirements, and working alongside us. He's one of the few, I think, heads of technology that are involved in a lot of conversations with customers. And we are absolutely so lucky to be able to add him to our team and continue to evolve the platform in all the ways it needs to to accommodate what we're trying to achieve. VICTORIA: Thank you for sharing that. I wonder, what does success really look like for you now, or six months from now, maybe even five years from now? LONNI: It'll be three years that we have launched SmartCert in March. And when we think about, you know, what's the first thing to prove when you're a new product in a new market, and it's to prove that people are willing to pay to alleviate the pain. And I think we've done a good job doing that. It's building virality now, you know. As the industry is now expanding its use of SmartCert, more companies are participating. So, we've built a good foundation, which has allowed us to start working with some of the global aerospace companies, distributors, and contract manufacturers, and pilots. We're defining those opportunities now. And I think 2024 will be a really big year for us to expand the features and the usage and adoption not only with additional supply chains but much more fast-paced growth with participating companies so that in five years, we could really look back and say, "We have really supported supply chains all over the world in working smarter, approaching sustainability with the right goals and processes to cut down on paper, and also be able to combat the challenges with labor shortages, apply technology in ways that are going to certainly make sense for them and for the future." VICTORIA: I like that you tie in business goals with, like, big, dreamy goals, like, really reducing our impact on the planet and things like that. Because I think that's...you need to have something to come back to at the end of the day when you're working really hard in a startup like this. LONNI: We had a really fun exercise, an internal exercise. So, our lead investor, TitletownTech, obviously has entrepreneurs in residence that we had the advantage of working with. We went through an exercise of really trying to articulate what is, like, the big, hairy goal? What is our mission? And our tagline is now taking the paper and the work out of paperwork so humans can do what they do best. MID-ROLL AD: Are your engineers spending too much time on DevOps and maintenance issues when you need them on new features? We know maintaining your own servers can be costly and that it's easy for spending creep to sneak in when your team isn't looking. By delegating server management, maintenance, and security to thoughtbot and our network of service partners, you can get 24x7 support from our team of experts, all for less than the cost of one in-house engineer. Save time and money with our DevOps and Maintenance service. Find out more at: tbot.io/devops. WILL: You were talking about the exercise to figure out, like, where your company is going. I want to ask question, like, around your leadership and core values. Like, how important is it for you to set that foundation now for the next couple of years? Because it sounds like that's what you're doing. You're setting that foundation, and I heard you say it a couple of times, foundation. So, how important is it to set that foundation for the growth that you're expecting over the next couple of years? LONNI: When you do have a product-led growth initiative, it means you need to provide as much self-service onboarding, and training tools, and resources as you can to make it easy for companies to move from their free account to a paid account and take advantage of all of the features and the functionality. So, our goals right now are to eliminate hurdles that companies may feel in making the transition. Because we've had so many conversations over the past, I guess, almost three years, we're pretty articulate on being able to help with process changes. What are you doing now? Here's how SmartCert fits in. Are your goals on the supplier side or your internal organization? Is it with customers? And just help walk them down the path of making a transition so it doesn't feel like it's going to require months or years or tons of man-hours that just aren't available as people just try and get through the day. So, from a foundational perspective, customer success is really now sales, marketing support. And those are the tools that I think will help companies have a clear path. We've learned that they really want to make very clear decisions. If I do this, what are the steps? So, we're providing clarity and a lot of good guidance that doesn't require a lot of man-hours on our side to be able to help turn free accounts into paid accounts and continue their expanded use of the platform. VICTORIA: That's very cool. Do you have any questions for me or Will? LONNI: So, you guys have a lot of conversations. I would love to hear what's really stood out in the last month or so. What's kind of resonated with you? Or what did you hear and apply in your life? VICTORIA: I have a couple of answers. I mean, I've had a lot of really amazing guests on the show. It's hard to pick out any few that were really important or had some meaningful takeaways. I really liked Charity Majors when I asked her how the company is doing, and she's like, "Well, we haven't failed yet." [laughs] And just an interesting mentality of very humble and very just open to change and open to seeing, like, what's going to happen next. And also, I think that Irina Nazarova talked about managing products versus managing open-source projects, and how that is different, and how it might influence your business differently, especially as a consulting company. So, I thought that was really interesting. I always love having guests on the show and hearing about why they started what they're doing. And it's just really inspiring to hear people take a chance on an idea that they have, that they feel passionate about, and really put everything behind it. And, you know, most of the time, we're talking to people who have succeeded [chuckles]. A few guests we've had are just getting started in their journey, and it is still kind of unclear. And I really enjoy those conversations as well, where they're just still not really sure if it's going to work. So, that's been a little bit about my experience as a host on the show. WILL: Yeah, I think I was going to go in a similar direction because I love talking to founders because it's just a different...almost like what you said, like, it's okay; go out there. Take that next step. It may hurt. It may be hard. It's not an easy path but go out there. You can do it. And it's not just for starting a company; for me, it's almost everyday life, like the hard things that come my way in life. Like, it's okay; I can do it. So, I think it's very encouraging to hear founders and their mindset when they started companies and after, like, multiple years of where they're at. And, like, yeah, it was hard. It was not easy, but hey, I made it. Like, I'm on the other side of it. And we're doing great, or we're still in there just hanging out. So, I think, for me, it's being resilient. I think that's the big thing. LONNI: I think you nailed it because real talk is survival. And if you aren't honest with yourself, it's not likely you're going to be able to survive. So, I think when you take stock of what you're trying to achieve, the road is super hard, or, like, everyone says, "Everyone would be doing it." But there's a reason, and there's intention there. And there are so many entrepreneurs who have failed over time only to have more intelligence, experience to get it right at some point. So, I don't know that anything is linear these days. We get smarter and certainly savvier around topics that interest us. And if it drives you towards entrepreneurship, I salute you. It makes having three daughters feel like a spa treatment. But I also know that I get excited about the other side of this. But our board reminds me that there's so much of this that feeds my soul. And it's hard to give that up when you do sell the company or move on because you're used to just being involved in all the things and being able to take advantage of the highs and come together during the lows. And that roller coaster is actually what everyone tells me I'm going to miss the most. I don't believe them yet. But [laughs] I think that they're probably right. VICTORIA: I think maybe you'll have a nostalgia for it. But you'll enjoy your peacefulness as well. LONNI: Yeah [laughs]. VICTORIA: Hopefully. [laughs] You have to hope. Yeah, I wonder, you know, speaking about, like, having investors and going around trying to raise money for a product, did you receive any advice or suggestions that, looking back on, you were like, "Actually, that was completely not helpful; I'm glad I didn't take it"? LONNI: There were many companies who declined to participate in conversations because we were not building SmartCert on blockchain. And some of them have come back around and asked, "Are your plans to include it?" And we've always felt not only does that require a huge leap...We're taking an industry from paper to digital, so if you want to layer blockchain on that, you're probably going to go nowhere really fast. Because I don't think there's anyone on this planet who can explain it well or really articulate the benefits when, in fact, you're sending paper in boxes. And, sure, there's the security element to that, but it's not really aligned with what blockchain is meant to do. So, we kind of have a laugh now about those that pushed so hard for we will only fund if this is blockchain-enabled. And we're so glad we didn't do that [laughs]. VICTORIA: Yeah, I mean, my understanding for, like, a blockchain, one good use case might be for, like, unique identities or something. Taking the more practical approach, sometimes I think people forget in technology that we're just...the future is here, but it's not evenly distributed. And there is paper being sent in boxes. And sometimes we can make a big impact, which is very simple solutions. But even simple solutions aren't simple to implement and make change happen. So, I'm wondering if you have any advice for founders who are facing a big change management that they're trying to push through. What advice would you give them to kind of start making inroads into that? LONNI: There are companies who make hundreds of millions of dollars helping [laughs] other companies through change management, and it's not lost on me that it's its own business. What we have really come to understand is you need to meet everyone where they're at. The tools that we've built are simple. You learn SmartCert in five minutes. It is how processes change that have been in place since the beginning of time for this company. And I think when it comes down to it, there are plenty of business owners and C-suite executives that can say, "Yes, this makes sense. We're going to do it." But being voluntold as the user who needs to not only learn something new but move out of their comfort zone figure out how to learn while doing your job every day, those are the people that I really think is important to support. They're going to mean the success of the adoption. And they are the ones that deserve the cheerleading. So, with change management, my advice would be is to think about every single person that this affects in the company, understand who is able to realize immediate benefits, whose are maybe more short-term once this is launched or as your customers adopt it. And then who benefits, and how do they benefit for the long-term? Because you sort of need to help them keep their eye on the prize to get through the steps, it's going to require to change the way they show up every day. WILL: So, Victoria asked you about advice that you're glad that you didn't take. Was there any advice that you're like, "Wow, that was the best advice, and I am so glad that we did follow it"? LONNI: Towards the end of last year when, we sort of accepted our fate that standard sales, SaaS sales, was not going to work for us. Lyndon, the founder and one of the members of our board, had a really great conversation around relationships, especially with these antiquated industries. And if you are new technology, the real key to winning business, sort of earning that street cred, being accepted as a thought leader, is to make relationships with people. It is still a person-to-person decision that helped us prioritize attending regional conferences and industry conferences to meet people face to face as often as possible to build the trust and to be able to build the relationships that will help create the confidence in every company we talk to about moving forward but making sure that there's still a human element involved. WILL: I love that advice. Yeah, it's interesting how many companies, I feel like, forget that, is that the people is the reason that your company exists. I don't know where I got it from, but someone told me it's three Ps that, like, what is kind of the foundation for your company. I think it's people, processes, and products. If you can nail those three things, like you will be successful majority of the time. And I thought that was very interesting. LONNI: It's so true. Empowering people and accepting the challenges that they face, being real about what change means for them, being able to, you know, speak their language, and acknowledge what taking on new commitments and new processes means for them is going to be the way to be successful. VICTORIA: And how does your balance feel between your life and your family, that you've mentioned, and working for this company trying to get it off the ground? LONNI: There are times where I'm proud being able to show my daughters that you can do it all, but it's hard to do it all. I'm grateful to work from home because it does enable me to not only work in yoga pants all day but to have time for self-care. So, the endorphins at the gym are survival for me. Being able to find your people...I was so lucky to be a part of StartupAZ, which is a cohort here in Arizona of just about a dozen companies. And we got together on a monthly basis to talk through what's working, what's not working, sort of setting goals for ourselves but also commiserating. Because I feel like being an entrepreneur can feel really isolating. I don't think there's many people that understand what this means on a daily basis. There's certainly a whole new language beyond that with tech founders. And it helped me feel seen in a way that I can't articulate or get from my friends. So, that was really important for me. What I try and be really sensitive to is this is a grind, but I'm doing it on behalf of my family. So, prioritizing time, even if it's, well, you know what? I'm going to drive you to school because that means I get 10 minutes in the car one one-on-one with you. Those are the things that I think if you're going to have less time, find ways to make it more meaningful without screens and phones, and just connect to your people. That's been important to me. There are days that I'm better at it. This week has not been great simply because we have some big deadlines. And I do still try and prioritize things like the gym simply because my brain works so much better with [chuckles] endorphins than without. So, you'll have parental guilt. But if you really remind yourself that you're showing up for the greater good and you're doing it for your people, then your people will still always be in the forefront. WILL: Do you have any foreseeable hurdles coming up with SmartCert? LONNI: This is a big year for us. We, as many tech companies, have worked really hard to extend our runway. The funding [chuckles] world, the milestones, and markers required for a Series A round have all changed a lot since we were funded. And I think the hurdles we face is to demonstrate enough of momentum, great outcomes with our pilots, with these larger companies, to be able to go back to our investors and expand the future with the funding we'll need to continue to scale. So, that's probably a consistent point of view for a lot of tech companies. It's sort of that make-or-break year. But we feel pretty good about it certainly because of the changes we've made to the way we go to market, but also the features we released this year in support of these larger conversations and being able to bring on someone who's going to then have 2,400 of their suppliers join the network. So, there's a lot of potential, but there's also a lot at risk. VICTORIA: Yeah. So, I'm curious how that process was when you decided to pivot and you decided to create some new features to meet what your customers were telling you. How did you go about getting the support you needed to build those features? LONNI: One thing that I think we did okay at, but if I had to look back, I'd say we should have done more of, is talking to the companies represented on SmartCert, certainly our paid customers. But those conversations helped us prioritize the features that would enable them to work smarter, to reduce risk, to be more efficient, to grow in a way that's going to support and embrace technology as it's introduced to the industry. So, when you think back to what can you learn, it should always be the people that are using your product. We have, in this year, created a lot of internal tools so that once you do receive documents, or if you're a manufacturer and you're generating documents, centralizing those for access among teams, and creating a really automated process to send those to customers was the focus. And the conversation now has moved, as I mentioned, to the supplier side. And that's one area where I think we have the greatest opportunity for growth simply because it is the one area of the business you have the least control over. So, we've kind of come full circle with building the tools that make sense for those that are using it now and building a new path to participate on a network or create efficiencies by making standard processes. Even if your suppliers aren't participating on SmartCert, we are going to be launching the ability to take the documents, as I mentioned, and turn them into SmartCerts. That, to me, I think presents the greatest opportunity for us to really build a lot of momentum. VICTORIA: I love that. And so, you have your own team of developers working on this. Are you working with, like, an outsourced team? Or how did you structure the type of technical skills you needed to bring into the team? LONNI: Our partner company that built our MVP, TechFabric, is still connected with us. So, if we have integrations, their team usually assists us with those SmartCert integrations into things like ERPs and just legacy systems that our customers are using. What they helped us with is to kind of provide the ideal candidate framework based on their knowledge of not only where the platform needs to go but the requirements and capabilities it requires, and participated in interviews to help us build our internal team. So, without having leadership in technology, that was a huge win for us to have an advisor and a supporter to be able to have the conversations we weren't qualified to have in order to hire the right people. VICTORIA: Gotcha. That makes sense. And maybe I missed this point earlier. But how did you meet them, or how did you find them? LONNI: Well, the story is a good one. We're based in Gilbert, Arizona. And as we were exploring what the options were, obviously trying to prioritize local relationships and partnerships, we did a Google search and ended up just having great conversations and feeling very fortunate that they were in our backyard and still are a really strong partner. VICTORIA: Oh, that makes sense. And having someone nearby, too, probably helps to just make it all feel a little cozier, so I love that. I love hearing about it and that they've helped you get to a place you want to be with the app. I'm so grateful to hear your story and hear more about what y'all are working on. Is there anything else that you would like to promote? LONNI: It's always fun having these conversations because sometimes you forget, you know, you're stuck in the minutiae of the day-to-day. And I just appreciate being able to tell the story and be reminded of how far we've come. And certainly celebrate and challenge anyone else who's considering a [inaudible 41:24] at this to take it. And if there's any advice that I would want to leave everyone with is to prioritize sleep [laughs] because it's the secret weapon. And I can tell that the days that I don't get enough, I don't think the way that I should. And it's almost like sleep is the new drug. And find any way possible, whether it's white noise, CBD, black-out shades, find your peace because sleep is your friend. WILL: I totally agree with that.

For an ECW, we've done way worse and we WILL DO way worse. This one actually wasn't that bad. There were, per usual, a lot of very questional booking decisions. There were also some God awful matches and the usual ECW tropes. However, those weren't enough to drag this show down to the depths of usual ECW pay-per-views. Taz was supposed to wrestle Chris Candido in the main event, but that didn't happen because Candido and Tammy were leaving, so Heyman wanted to squash him early. So, instead, we get a thread with the Dudley Boys all night, taking out randos and then trying to take out Taz. Besides that, we got possibly the greatest RVD vs. Jerry Lynn match ever, Little Guido taking on Yoshihiro Tajiri, a special appearance by Sid, and much more! In the news, we discuss ECW's continued money woes (leading to Shane Douglas's second...or maybe third departure), WWF handing WCW their rear on a platter, WCW's booking going down the tubes while the inmates run the asylum, Gordon Solie having major health issues, and more on this week's show!

I'm not TOTALLY against Bucket Lists, but… Stop putting things in your "Bucket List" that you have no intention of doing. Instead create a "Gallon of Goals" to pour into your "Plan Pail" and stop dreaming about what you could do and start scheming about what you WILL DO! The fastest route to Regret-Town is found in the phrase, "maybe one day I'll..." The first quarter of 2023 is OVER! What were you plans and goals? What have you achieved and what are you working on? Are you ready to make your dreams a reality? If so, it's time to get organized and start taking action! The first step is overcoming procrastination. We all have busy lives, but we can't let interruptions distract us from achieving the goals we set. Making the most of your available time and energy means setting aside time for working towards our dreams. Spend a few hours each day, for instance, working on a project that will enable you to realize your goals. Once you've established that routine, it will be easier to keep up with it and stay motivated. Next, break down a big goal into smaller ones so it doesn't feel overwhelming. Break it down into tasks that are manageable and create a timeline for yourself. This will make it easier for you to stay focused and make sure each step is completed. Finally, surround yourself with positive people who can encourage you to keep going even when things seem tough. Having a strong support squad, cheerleaders, and accountability buddies can make all the difference in achieving success! Let's make those dreams REALITIES!

Hutchinson joined Earlham Athletics from Kean University, an NCAA Division III institution in Union, New Jersey. He has served as assistant director of athletics for internal operations and student-athlete development since October 2020. In that role, he coordinated and developed a comprehensive development program for over 400 student-athletes in the athletic department. In addition, he had oversight of diversity and inclusion initiatives for the department. Other duties included assisting with the oversight of internal business operations while developing policies and procedures that enhanced the academic success and graduation of every student-athlete. While at Kean, Hutchinson also served as the athletics diversity and inclusion designee and was the point of communication between the NCAA national office, athletics department, the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC), and campus with information around inclusive programs, emerging diversity issues and other related equity initiatives that needed to be shared or addressed. Hutchinson was the head men's basketball coach at Kean from October 2018 to August 2020. Hutchinson arrived at Kean before the 2018-19 season after working at Amherst College, Washington & Lee University, Case Western Reserve University, and Stevens Institute of Technology. At Amherst, he was an assistant men's basketball coach for one season with the Mammoths. Hutchinson's defense finished the season ranked No. 1 in Division III in defensive field goal percentage. Before Amherst, Hutchinson was the head men's basketball coach at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, for 14 seasons (2003-2017). During his time with the Generals, he became the second-winningest coach in program history with 154 victories and reached the ODAC title game in 2009 and the semifinals in 2014 and 2017. In 2008, he was named both the ODAC Coach of the Year and the VaSID College Division Coach of the Year. His tenure also saw losing streaks to Randolph-Macon College and Roanoke College snapped. He also had the reins for two seasons at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland (2001-2003) and Stevens Institute of Technology (1999-2001). With the Spartans of Case Western, he recruited two multiple-time All-UAA selections and the school's all-time leading scorer and rebounder. With the Ducks, the team saw improvements in wins and a third-place finish in the Skyline. A 1993 graduate of Amherst College, he played from 1989 to 1993 and earned a bachelor of arts degree in Black Studies. He earned his master of science in sports management from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst after receiving an NCAA Graduate Scholarship for Careers in Athletics (only eight awarded each year nationally based on distinction earned as an undergraduate). Hutchinson earned a graduate certificate in Diversity & Inclusion from Cornell University in February 2020 and has been a guest speaker at the NCAA Division III Institute for Administrative Advancement since 2019.

Welcome to the LoDown: a podcast, hosted by Lois Robbins, exploring the voices in and outside the entertainment industry. On this episode of the LoDown, Lois speaks with the talented and fierce Wendi McLendon-Covey, who just so happens to be joining from the comfort of her closet floor. Wendi reflects on 9 seasons worth of raising TV children as the iconic Beverly Goldberg. Even off-screen, she can't help but check up on them! Wendi's also so grateful to have some of Beverly's can do and WILL DO attitude rub off on her in real life. Lois and Wendi also reminisce on Wendi's early years at The Groundlings and how she went from having a class with Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy to doing a table read of Bridesmaids. Wendi also shares some tough love when it comes to auditions. They can smell the desperation from a mile away. So you just need to hide your neediness. Easy, right? Once she changed her mentality about auditions and stopped second guessing herself, it made them that much more enjoyable! Thanks for listening!

Good morning Team Jesus! This is the House of Hope! I am Pastor Dewey Moede Dr. Jim Denison: Secularism continues to grow in the US. According to Pew Research, roughly three in ten Americans have no religious affiliation of any kind. Younger generations are less engaged in church than their parents; many committed Christians are not active in a local congregation. How is this radical secularism working for us? Consider this statement by the Wall Street Journal editorial board: “The world is entering the most dangerous period since the Soviet Union collapsed, and perhaps since the 1930s.” The editorial focuses on geopolitical dangers, but we could add the opioid epidemic and other “deaths of despair,” deepening political sectarianism that threatens democracy, and the escalating crime rate in the US. “HAVING BEEN FIRMLY ROOTED AND NOW BEING BUILT UP IN HIM AND ESTABLISHED IN YOUR FAITH” COLOSSIANS 2:7B So many times, we read through sections of scripture too quickly. We don't pause to let the truth ‘soak in' to our souls. Having ‘been' … past tense, accomplished. God did it, accomplished it, now it is done. WE who have believed, have ‘been' firmly rooted in Him, the Lord Jesus! And NOW, we are being, present tense, ‘built up' upon that firm rooting that He has already put into place. That is a firm position. Remember the old hymn, “How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!” We can exalt Him because of what He HAS DONE, IS DOING, and WILL DO in our lives! We could just stop there and say, ‘Amen' … but there is so much more in these words.

Can Do! Will Do! Don't let things that you don't know stop you from moving forward when there's something easier that you could do just keep on moving. That’s something Garvin and I have found. You know we have had blocks in developing certain projects at the moment, and it's just that there are things we don't know at the moment and they are blocking or stopping our way forward. But that hasn't stopped us from moving forward in recording these shows. The shows are giving us the opportunity to talk things through and work things out and reflect on what it is that we're doing and where we are. The shows have been very useful because they're also helping us relate other stories to one another about the journeys that we've been on and what things are important. I think one of the things that we've realised in this session is that families are important, work comes second, and any other projects should come third. And as Garvin rightly said, we've actually reached this point in our lives where it's not about just surviving, and sustainability. It is about self-actualization. It is about seeing all those activities throughout the whole of our lives that we've had an inclination about, putting all the dots together, lining up and linking them together, and realising what we need to do to accomplish these dreams. We want to see that Eureka moment. We want to see the light bulb come on, and then we want to sit down in the dark and watch the picture perform in front of us. That's where we are now. #FILMACADEMY #FILMSCHOOL #PODCASTSHOW

Steve Waugh the former Australian captain famously said, “You need to treat people equally but at the same time differently.” This might sound paradoxical but he emphasised by saying that having 2 of the world's best bowlers at his disposal he needed to treat Shane Warne differently from the way he led Glen McGrath although both of them were match winners for him. Sourav Ganguly went on record while addressing a group of young leaders that he needed to be a different leader while handling the likes of Yuvraj Singh. He goes saying that being a teenager Yuvi was fond of having fun, attending parties and sipping a drink. He needed to give freedom to him but at the same time had to look after him with an eagle eye. He quotes an incident where in the year 2000 when Champions Trophy was played at Nairobi in Kenya, Yuvi was not to be seen in his room on the evening before an important game against Australia. Instead of reporting the incident to the manager of the team he asked the security guy to take him to few prominent nightclubs where Yuvraj could be hanging around. He found the young boy sipping a drink and dancing around. Sourav patiently asked him when he plans to finish his dinner and brought him back to the hotel. As a captain he told him not to move around from the room since they had a crucial knockout match on hand against the then World Champions the next day. Ganguly checked in Yuvi's room again by 11:00 pm to make sure that he is there in the room. Sourav goes on to say that as a leader he needed to handle players differently and says he never had to bother about preparations or discipline of a player like Rahul Dravid who knew what should be done and what ought not to be done. But he needed to manage the maverick Yuvi differently. He knew that if he had reported to the manager of the team Yuvi would not have found a spot in the playing XI for breach of discipline. Incidentally, Yuvraj scored a match winning 81 to knock the Aussies out of the tournament. That is why I say, “Different Strokes for Different Folks.” Moving away from the sports arena to the bustling corporate world Jack Welch always propagates the practice of treating people differently. You would have to give freedom to a star who is a Can Do & Will Do player and at the same time constantly challenging him/her with a tougher target. If you try to micro manage a star for sure that person would exit your team. Most leaders also suffer from “I” & “J” factor while dealing with a star performer which is insecurity and jealously. The same leader would then cry that he is unable to retain the talent while the fault squarely lies on him for not having given the independence to a star player. A star player needs to be told what is to be done and not how it needs to be done. A solid citizen who is a Can't Do but Will Do guy needs to be coached and the participative leadership style would work. In my initial days of my sales career I had a lot of enthusiasm to perform but never knew how to handle objections and that is when my boss would show to me how I need to handle those objections. A solid citizen would need to be guided on ‘how to do' but the leader needs to bear in mind that today's solid citizen is a tomorrow's star. Wasim Akram always says if Imran Khan had not taken the pain to teach him on how to bowl a Yorker his career would have ended by the year 1985 itself when he was taken to the cleaners in the slog overs. While this style of leadership would work with a solid citizen we would also have to deal with a set of people who neither can do nor would do. They need to be directed and micromanaged to get the results. Finally we would also have a set of people who were yesterday's stars but have turned into liabilities for sheer lack of inspiration or their personal issues. They need to be counselled to ensure that they are either shaped up or shipped out from the system. I have seen reluctance from many leaders in not addressing these people and that is when we would have a situation where you would have bunch of people who Can Do but would not do and more importantly would not let others to do. This is a dangerous virus for any organization. Finally remember the myth of leadership either it is “My Way or Highway” never works. You need to know your people and lead them differently to get the results. Concept of leadership & people management always amazes me and I am sanguine it excites you too. Wishing you an awesome week. Loving you. JVC Sreeram

Isaiah 61:1-9 (NIV) This passage reminds us of what the LORD HAS DONE, what he is DOING NOW, and what he yet WILL DO in the future. ----------REFLECT---------- 1. What word or phrase stood out to you in your hearing? What strikes you about it? 2. Has the LORD comforted you lately? Has he provided for you as you're grieved? Has he bestowed upon you beauty instead of ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair? If so, pause and give thanks to him. If not, bring your grief to the LORD as you simply tell him how you feel. 3. Pause and take the risk to ask the LORD for restoration. Maybe it's the first time you've asked, maybe you've asked more that you can count. Ask him now, and as you do, ask him how he'd use you. What would need to be different? What would need to be the same? ----------CONNECT---------- Subscribe for Daily Episodes Learn More at intervarsity.org --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dailyread/message

Are you happy with the results you've experienced in 2013? Did you accomplish the goals you set this time last year? Are you satisfied with the relationships you have in your life? Do you feel like you just can't escape the past? Are you ready for a fresh start? A RE-BOOT? Can you see the future that God sees for you? On this episode, we will be talking about Preparing for the New Year: ‘5 Steps You Can Take To Ensure A Great New Beginning' ______________________________________________________________________ Spiritual Principle Jeremiah 29:11 (NET) 11 For I know what I have planned for you,' says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope. Another year has come and gone. It is at this time every year that we reflect, ponder our present state, and for many, we look forward to what lies ahead. Time is really a continuum, and a date on the calendar doesn't really constitute some magical do-over opportunity, but, around the world, people consider a ‘new year' a threshold; a starting place; another chance; a new beginning. As we approach another new year, we all dream of experiencing greater blessing, prosperity, goals reached, etc. The problem with dreaming is that if all we do is dream, nothing really changes. “Nothing changes unless something changes” – Brian Holmes How you leave one place or season is how you enter the next. If we want to see a different 2014, we must look at what got us here. If we want to see a more prosperous and successful new year, we will need to assess, address, and make necessary changes in order to see progress. So, how do we prepare for a NEW BEGINNING? How do we enter the new place? 5 Steps You Can Take To Ensure A Great New Beginning I want to propose a 5 Step Process that will give you a jump start on your new year. It is a process designed to help you re-boot; start over; begin again; but this time, with more clarity and more purpose. Let's look at it together … Step #1 Let Go Of The Past Past failures and mistakes Past hurts Past relationships that no longer serve your desired future Not everyone can go with you into your next season Step #2 Examine Your Heart The Bible tells us in Proverbs 23:7 that, “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he …”. The principle here is that what I believe to be true about my life, my worth, my money, my future, is exactly what will manifest in my life. So at the very core of the equation is, “What are my present thoughts and beliefs about my life and future?” Is my mind working for me, or against me? Does my heart agree with my head? Many people believe that they can confess their way to the realization of their dreams and goals. In fact, confession or affirmation is vital to the equation, but is incomplete if one's heart doesn't really believe what the mouth is affirming. It is important to confess with your mouth, but it is imperative that you believe with your heart! If your heart is not in agreement with your words (or if you do not really believe on the inside what you are projecting on the outside), it is a fruitless exercise, and will create frustration and disappointment. So, I must examine my heart. Are there thoughts or beliefs held there that are toxic to my faith? Do I have unforgiveness or bitterness there that is affecting my productivity? Do I have limiting beliefs or limited vision that is actively working against what I truly desire for my life? Step #3 Know Thyself – Set Your Expectations Most people never invest time in discovering who they really are, or in identifying what it is they really want in life. I firmly believe that every human being is created by God with a destiny and purpose that has already been determined. In other words, God made me with an end in mind. In order for me to tap into the potential and greatness that He sees in me, I must align my mind and my heart with His plan and His will for my life. This involves the process of self-discovery. In this process, we seek to find answers to questions such as: 1. Who Am I? 2. What do I value? 3. What are my passions? 4. What is my assignment and purpose? 5. What do I want? 6. What are my dreams? 7. What are my goals? 8. What is it that I want to accomplish? Once you have answered these questions, then, and only then, will you have a clear compass or direction for your future. If necessary, hire a Life Coach who can assist you in discovering, identifying, and clarifying these important components. Step #4 Develop A Strategic Plan Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”. The truth is that even though we all ‘want' better results, and we desire to see our future improve, we often are stuck in the quagmire of old habits and behavioral patterns that limit us to the same outcomes we've always experienced. We have to take action, but not just any action. We have to take strategic action; action that will move us toward our stated goals and dreams. How do we do this? Write down your goals … BE SPECIFIC Break them down into long term, short term, and immediate action steps Identify the resources you have available to you now Identify the resources you do NOT have available to you Identify the necessary steps you will have to take to acquire those resources Plan your weekly action steps Plan you daily action steps Step #5 START! Before you can be great, you have to be good; before you can be good, you have to be so-so; before you can be so-so, you have to be pretty bad; before you can be bad, you gotta just do something! So many people I know are waiting for God to show up, and miraculously make something happen. Others are waiting for fate or good fortune. Some are waiting for their ship to roll in, and others are just waiting. In the of faith and religion, many profess a faith that God is going to bless them, prosper them, or release a miracle. While I believe with deep conviction in a God who loves us, and is a blesser of His children, I also believe what His Word says … “Faith without works is dead …” You see, I must put action with my faith. I must believe what God believes about me, and then act in accordance with that belief. In 2014, I encourage you to come off the sidelines and engage this wonderful game we call life. God has PLANS for you; He has blessed, and He has given you His promises, but YOU must now put action to your faith so that you can know the success and joy He has designated for your life. REVIEW: 1. Let go of the past 2. Examine Your Heart 3. Know Thyself – Set Your Expectations 4. Develop a Strategic Plan 5. START CLOSING THOUGHTS: Purpose in your heart today … You will not go in to 2014 carrying the weights of the past You will not go in carrying unforgiveness, bitterness, or frustration You WILL go in knowing that God has great plans for your life; plans for your success, your happiness, your prosperity, and a marvelous future You WILL go in knowing who you are; what you want; with clear dreams, and with a clear plan You WILL engage your calling and your purpose, and you WILL DO the work necessary to se those dreams come to pass

What does faith in God look like vs. faith in yourself? We screw up where God doesn't! Biblical Faith Defined: Hebrews 11 Having faith in GOD is taking one more step past HOPE, and thats taking ACTION in our faith... Putting weight on something. Its so easy to put your faith in what you can physically see and physically put your weight on. BUT, faith isn't faith if you can see it. Its jumping when God says jump and not refusing to jump because of the circumstances around you...but because of the God who told you to jump! What does it look like to have faith when everything isn't going the way you planned? Start with an attitude of gratitude! When you cant see the end in sight, remind yourself of WHO is in control. HE is the only one who can fix your situation. Whats the difference between CAN and WILL? Do you believe that God CAN do it, or that He WILL do it? We limit God by limiting our prayers. Don't put God is a box! He wants you to put your full weight in Him. Remember that whatever He does...it is good. Trust His ways, even if you don't understand right now! Its all about being in His will! Here's some high points you DON'T want to miss or forget: If you don't have it, you can't spend it! Putting your FAITH in GOD is a fountain that will never run dry. Faith is just like a muscle...we have all been given muscle but their strength depends on how much you exercise it! Are we a church operating on demon level faith? Even the demons believe in who God is and what He is capable of! FAITH IS IRRELEVANT TO OUR CIRCUMSTANCES! Thats what faith is...believing in what you cant see! I would rather have prayed and not get what I prayed for and trust that God's answer is best, than never to pray and not display faith. Don't have "passive aggressive" faith! Don't pray without belief behind it. There's no use in praying if there's not belief! Train your tongue to SPEAK LIFE! Be around others who speak life into you! Don't crack the door of your life for Satan to slip his foot right in! CLOSE THAT DOOR WITH FAITH SISTER! Having faith on DEBIT means there is a SUPPLY behind the action. Thats having faith in GOD! Are you treating your faith like used gift card? "Hopefully this works?!"
On the last Shit Show before Season Two, Jordyn yells at Rebecca about how she dislocated her knee cap. She yells at herself. She kind of just yells. But, armpits are also discussed. Then, when you think they might be done with the episode... think again, pal! Rebecca throws down some knowledge about the Madison Butter Fire. Also, our friend Nate is forced to do a guest appearance he wasn't aware he signed up for, and Will-Do even makes a brief cameo. If you want to get to know the girls more before the new season, this might be a good episode to listen to? We do apologize for some slight sound discrepancies. Thanks to your Patreon contributions we have been able to purchase a few items that will better the sound quality for Season Two!

Rebecca and Jordyn cover some rather prickly topics. Their 25th episode is celebrated with some scrapple vodka and Will Do bestows them with a very bad ass present!

On this weeks show... It occurred to me the other day, while I was planning a day out Geocaching, that I actively avoid hide types and series types and vice versa on the caches I will do. Most notable on this list and why: Won't Do's Little Bridges series - they usually involve a single plank timber bridge over a ditch. That also means the cache is usually underneath the plank. I'm not getting on my hands and knees in the middle of winter weather, especially if its cold and wet. Anything involving water - for obvious reasons. Anything in the woods - spent too many Geocaching trips face down in muddy puddles in the woods for comfort. Any involving steep inclines - Yes, I have slipped on several occasions. Will Do's Urban hides - Those with no mud Hedgerows - The geocaches are easier to spot in winter Church Micros - Mostly like urban geocaches Any on a cycle route - flat, no mud #geocachingcreators This Is Geocaching by The Downunder Geocaching Adventures of No Tomorrow Contact the show...

Hope in God!Pastor Robbie Gurley 11-25-18 Biblical hope is not based on uncertainty, but on an expectation and confidence that a certain good thing WILL happen. It is a normal Christian experience to fight and struggle to maintain our hope. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him. Psalm 42:5 Hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain (GOOD) thing to happen. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 We must remind ourselves of who we really are...of the great gifts given to us...of our immeasurable inheritance regardless if we deserve OR NOT! Our hope is in what Jesus did, is doing and WILL DO! Matthew 26:17-19 The Last Supper 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. Colossians 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. John 16:7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. The glory - the manifested tangible presence of God resides in us - Christ in me, the hope of glory Isaiah 40:31... but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. How do we build our hope? TRUST HIM! Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. TRUST HIM! so you may OVERFLOW WITH HOPE! Trusting HIM is the opposite of trying to make it happen yourself. Hope begins to overflow when we let go and LET GOD have control. Even if you are the poorest, most neglected person on planet Earth, you can have HOPE because of the blood and body of Jesus Christ. You can EXPECT there is something good that WILL HAPPEN in your future. "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less" by Edward Mote, 1797-1874 1. My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 2. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 3. His oath, His covenant, and blood Support me in the whelming flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 4. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found, Clothed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne! On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand
Work/Life Balance: how kids can make you sleep better Sound like an oxymoron? Sometimes we need an escape from work; you can get stressed because you’re working too much. Call it what it is! A BUSINESS. When payroll gets involved, that’s when it gets serious (and when something starts to run like a mini corporation). The Johns discuss the difference between planning and dreaming when it comes to growing your business. “If there’s a decision you can solve for under 100 dollars, solve it yourself.” - Tim Ferriss, Four Hour Work Week The Johns get inspiring (and a little cheesy): “Believe in yourself!” - Saunders “‘It’s fun to dream’ is the wrong phrase. The phrase should be ‘it’s fun to plan’” because it’s all part of the true picture of the business. - Grimsmo “The future will be kind to me, as I intend to invent it” - Saunders QOTD: How do you dream about things? What if I got…? Is a form of planning. Goals to grow the business! For what? Growth! Sometimes you’re not working for a sports car, you work so you can grow your business and invest in it. The Johns talk about what they're working towards. IMTS is one month away! Grimsmo and Saunders will be there a day before IMTS starts (Sunday, Sept 9) for the Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship Summit, which is a version of the NYC CNC open house, and there will be plenty to learn! Grimsmo will also be doing a workshop on knife making, and talking about the business. The event will be held in a pretty great space called mHUB in downtown Chicago. Register for the event, here! TO-DO or WILL-DO? that is the question. Putting something on a piece of paper as a to-do list doesn’t mean it’ll get done, and everyone has a different kind of to-do list that works for them. Saunders and Grimsmo talk about the differences between theirs. “Its surprisingly hard to find a system that works for you” - Grimsmo The final part of this episode is all about Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems Grimsmo is in the midst of setting his company up with ProShop but, similarly to to-do lists, everyone uses ERP systems differently.
