This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's short address "Designing Our Descendants: Seven Traits for the Future", a presentation to the 1978 general meeting at the Hastings Center. MacIntyre first discusses how intentionally designing descendants is a matter that has political dimensions, then sets out seven key traits that he thinks are most needed, and concludes with projections of what the lives of people in a society where these traits are widespread would look like. The seven traits in a "new table of virtues" MacIntyre identifies and discusses are: Ability to live with uncertainty (and an unpredictable environment) Roots in particularity (a capacity for finding a particular and local way of being a home in the world) A commitment to non-manipulative modes of relationship with people and nature Finding a vocation in one's work (an ability to find a work that is peculiarly our own to do in the world) Accepting one's death (recognition that there will come a time when one's life is complete) Hope (a spirit of hope for which there cannot be adequate empirical grounds) Willingness to take up arms (to go to war and to acquire the skill necessary to win a war) To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get MacIntyre's After Virtue here - amzn.to/2RiplGT

(0:00) Matt McCarthy begins the show with instant reaction to the Red Sox (7-5) win over the Giants Friday night. Former Red Sox 3B/DH Rafael Devers went (0-5) including a 9th Inning strike out to Sox Closer, Aroldis Chapman. McCarthy highlights the positive momentum the Red Sox have built post-Devers trade, attributing the Sox' recent successes to quality starting pitching and ridding Devers from the ballclub. (14:46) McCarthy analyzes comments made by Raffy Devers pregame yesterday regarding his willingness to play 1B for the Boston Red Sox. McTakey believes Devers is disingenuous when he states he would've been open to playing 1B, if the team would've approached him in Spring Training, highlighting his slow start was because of his lack of presence at Spring Training. Would Devers still be in Boston if he would've transitioned to 1B when the team asked him to? Jeff Passan reports on the Devers saga. (26:40) McCarthy re-hashes the "alignment" moniker made by Sam Kennedy & Craig Breslow during the media call last week following the trade of Devers to SF. Matt references "defensive alignment" and interprets those remarks as tacit shots at Devers' poor defensive reputation. McCarthy continues with the Devers trade fallout by describing how Devers was notified on the team's plane to the smear campaign levied against him. (39:02) McCarthy continues to break down the Rafael Devers trade to SF. He proclaims the situation became personal between Devers and management. More testimonial from the latest Jeff Passan reporting. Callers weigh in on the Devers trade. ------------------------------------------- FOLLOW ON TWITTER/X: @MattMcCarthy985 | @jorgiesepulveda

In this episode, host David Mendes sits down with Tina Persson, a PhD in organic chemistry turned career coach, recruiter, and author, to dive into the reality behind making the leap from academia to industry. During the conversation Tina shares her personal journey, from her PhD and climbing the academic ladder, to discovering that professorship wasn't the right fit for her ambitions and personality. David and Tina reflect on the unique challenges PhDs face when transitioning to the corporate world, including the crucial need to understand what companies value, and how to “sell yourself” outside of the academic bubble. Tina also discusses the importance of being coachable, building the right networks, and embracing new tools like AI. With advice rooted in firsthand experience, she reminds us that successful career transitions require strategy, self-awareness, and the courage to ask for help.   Tina Persson, Associate Professor, is an ICF-certified career, Leadership, and Team Coach with over 20 years of experience in academia and 10 years in the corporate sector. As CEO of Passage2Pro, a global educational and coaching company, she provides career coaching, leadership training, and team development for professionals in a fast-paced and AI-driven world where Innovation is a future skill. What we covered in the interview: Mindset Shift Is Everything: The longer you stay in academia, the harder it can be to adapt to the mindset industry expects. It's not just about technical skills. It's about learning to communicate your value in a new language, understanding what companies want, and positioning yourself accordingly. Embrace Being Coachable & Adaptable: Today's job market evolves quickly. AI and tech are reshaping roles at lightning speed. Tina's advice? Stay coachable. Willingness to unlearn, relearn, and adapt is a superpower, especially as career pathways become less linear and more dynamic. Don't Undervalue Diverse Experiences: Whether it's a “detour” into sales or a stint in recruitment, every experience adds value. Tina reflects on how roles she didn't initially appreciate proved vital for her future as a coach and entrepreneur. Sometimes, your “side quests” become your secret strengths. If you're navigating your own academic-to-industry leap, Tina's journey proves that you're not alone and  that there's real power in asking for help, exploring new territory, and owning your story.

Part 1 Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins SummarySummary of "Power vs. Force" by David R. Hawkins "Power vs. Force" is a philosophical and spiritual book written by Dr. David R. Hawkins, which explores the distinctions between power, which he associates with higher moral and ethical values, and force, which corresponds to lower, more destructive tendencies. The central theme of the book is the concept of human consciousness and how it can be calibrated on a scale of levels of truth. Key Concepts:Levels of Consciousness: Hawkins introduces a scale from 1 to 1000, where different emotional states correspond to different levels of consciousness. Shame (20), Guilt (30), Apathy (50), Fear (100), Desire (125), Anger (150), Pride (175) are lower levels. Higher levels include Courage (200), Neutrality (250), Willingness (310), Acceptance (350), Reason (400), Love (500), Joy (540), Peace (600), and Enlightenment (700+).Force vs. Power: Force is associated with manipulation, coercion, and effort. It often comes from lower levels of consciousness and is dependent on external conditions. Power, in contrast, is innate, comes from higher consciousness, and is aligned with love, truth, and integrity. It tends to be self-sustaining and uplifting.Kinesiology and Muscle Testing: Hawkins proposes that muscle testing can be a means of determining the truth-value of statements based on their alignment with higher or lower consciousness. By applying this technique, one can discern forces or influences in life that enhance or diminish wellbeing.Truth and Reality: Hawkins posits that there is an absolute truth that can be aligned with higher consciousness and that individuals can attune themselves to this truth through self-awareness and spiritual practice. This truth elevates personal and collective consciousness which contributes to societal progress.Spiritual Development: The journey towards higher consciousness is framed as a greater alignment with power rather than force. The book encourages readers to strive for higher emotional states, which cultivate well-being, compassion, and unity. Applications:Personal Growth: By understanding where one resides on the consciousness scale, individuals can actively work to raise their level and embrace more empowering outlooks.Social and Organizational Dynamics: Hawkins' insights can be applied to improve relationships, leadership qualities, and communal interactions by promoting power-oriented values over force-driven actions. Conclusion:"Power vs. Force" invites readers to reflect on their own level of consciousness, the nature of their actions, and the impact they have on themselves and others. Through the lenses of philosophy, psychology, and spirituality, Hawkins presents a compelling argument for choosing "power" as a path toward personal and collective transformation.Part 2 Power vs. Force AuthorDavid R. Hawkins David R. Hawkins (1913-2012) was an American psychiatrist, spiritual teacher, and author. He gained recognition for his work in the fields of consciousness research and spirituality, particularly through his concepts of consciousness levels and the interplay between power and force.Power vs. Force Published: The book "Power vs. Force" was first released in 1995. Content: In this book, Hawkins introduces the concept of a scale of human consciousness and differentiates between power (which is based on true strength, integrity, and benevolence) and force (which is associated with manipulation, coercion, and ego-driven actions). He also discusses the calibration of different levels of consciousness using a numerical scale, which has become one of his hallmarks.Other Notable Books by David R. Hawkins: The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing is Hidden (2001) I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003)...

This week on Transforming 45, I had to take a big breath—and face a few fears. GLP-1s are everywhere in the conversation right now, but honestly? I was hesitant to even go there. It's complex, emotional, and often polarizing. But I'm so glad I did. In this episode, I sit down with fitness expert and women's wellness coach Kayla Johnson Neal, whose powerful voice and lived experience bring clarity and compassion to a charged topic. We dive into Kayla's evolution through the fitness world, the impact of COVID on her identity and work, and how perimenopause shifted everything—including how she trains, coaches, and sees herself. Together, we explore how women can approach midlife wellness from a place of curiosity instead of fear, and how strength training, self-compassion, and informed conversations can reshape our bodies and our beliefs. This episode touches on: Why cardio isn't the only path—and what strength really looks like in midlife The importance of willingness over perfection in fitness Hormonal shifts and the role of GLP-1s in modern weight management conversations How the stigma around weight loss can get in the way of self-acceptance Finding joy in movement and grace in transition Key Takeaways: Building muscle is building long-term health There is no one right way to do wellness—just the way that works for you Talking about GLP-1s requires nuance, care, and openness Self-trust is foundational to change Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Transforming 45 and Kayla Johnson Neal 02:39 The Impact of COVID on Personal and Professional Lives 07:08 Navigating Midlife: Perimenopause and Wellness Coaching 12:28 The Journey of Self-Discovery in Midlife 14:39 Supporting Women Through Body Changes 19:45 The Importance of Weight Training Over Cardio 25:39 Debunking Myths About Weight Training and Body Image 29:45 The Importance of Willingness in Fitness Coaching 32:42 Motivation Through Longevity and Quality of Life 33:11 Navigating Perimenopause and Weight Management 35:17 Personal Experiences with Hormonal Changes 39:32 Exploring GLP-1 Peptides and Their Impact 46:27 The Emotional Journey of Body Image and Self-Acceptance 51:51 The Stigma Around Weight Loss and Self-Care

Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life.  She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.  Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving.  In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time.   In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work.  No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.   For the Work With Grace programs and more information, and to get on the Grace Notes mailing list for updates and sharing of all kinds around The Work, please visit www.workwithgrace.com To receive notice of Eating Peace programs, videos and vlog posts, visit www.workwithgrace.com/eating-peace and join the mailing list.

The tools of thinking that fueled the Growth Mindset and fast decisions behind the success of Jeff Bezos. Bezos frames business as a series of silent promises: to customers, to colleagues, to the future. Each promise is a primitive—simple, sturdy, waiting to be linked. When those links form, independence evolves into interdependence, and a whisper becomes a flywheel. In this conversation, we explore how “Day One” thinking keeps the path clear, how a “regret-minimization lens” invites bold choices, and why “single-threaded leadership” protects the soul of a project. Name your primitives—identify the small assets that can connect to others. Map the flywheel—draw how each promise fuels the next. Practice long-horizon thinking—act today as if seven years depend on it.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary: God is working His will out in those who open up to Him and totally give over their will to Him. This spiritual balance between God's working and the intuitive of faith and willingness in us produces an atmosphere that God can create His will in us. In all that He allows us to go through, we give back to Him a deep worship and thankfulness knowing that He is working out His perfect will in our lives. Show Notes: God is the beginning and the end in our lives. There is a balance between God working in us and our initiative to do His will. We allow Him to work in our lives to accomplish his will. He is faithful to finish His work in us. In all He lets us go through good and bad, we are commanded to give thanks. When we give thanks in all things we are saying You are the Lord and I submit to your working out Your will in my life. Quotes: God starts something and He's gonna finish it. He's the alpha and He's the omega. He's the beginning and the end. Yes, He is that, but what He does in us is the same thing. There's a balance in this because if, if we say that He is the, Alpha and the Omega, we're His workmanship, but we take an attitude I don't have to do anything and He's gonna do it all. There is an initiative on our part that we have to open the door so that He can become in us what is necessary to bring us totally into the presence of the Father. It's about allowing Him to come into our lives and be that part of us that we are constantly in, in a relationship with. He can actually lead us...

Passed during a Democratic trifecta in 2020, the Virginia Clean Economy Act was viewed as a monumental step toward modernizing the state's dirty power generation. But in the face of President Donald Trump's alternative energy funding cuts and data center-fueled power demand, the most powerful Democrats in Virginia's legislature appear open to reviewing the law.

In this episode, we examine Luke 5:12-16. In these verses, we read of an exchange between Jesus and a leper. Together we discuss the implications surrounding the interaction between the leper and Jesus; the isolation of the leper, and the restoration found through the touch of Christ. Out of this we recognize the damage of the isolationist mentality of too many Christians and the call that Jesus has placed in each of our lives to partner with Him to be his cleansing contact in the midst of a lost and broken world.

Performace Enhancement Imagery - PART TWO Saving Lifes and Much More Subject: Review of discussion between Mo and Chris regarding Chris's experience with a life-threatening surgery and the role of performance enhancement imagery. Key Themes: ·       Mind-Body Connection: The intricate and powerful link between mental state and physical outcomes, particularly in the context of health, healing, and performance. ·       Controlling the Controllable: Focusing mental energy on aspects within one's influence, primarily attitude and mindset, especially during challenging or uncontrollable situations. ·       Performance Enhancement Imagery: The intentional and structured use of mental visualization to prepare for, navigate, and optimize physical and psychological experiences, including medical procedures. ·       Importance of Preparation (Physical and Mental): The value of comprehensive preparation, encompassing not only physical health (sleep, strength, immune system) but also mental readiness (reducing anxiety, building confidence, calming the nervous system). ·       Anecdotal Evidence and Lived Experience: The power of personal testimony and observed outcomes as indicators of the efficacy of unconventional or less widespread approaches. ·       Manifesting Reality and Gratitude: The belief that positive focus and gratitude can influence personal experience and well-being. ·       Open Mind and Willingness to Learn: The necessity of being open to new ideas and stepping outside comfort zones to achieve personal growth and excellence. Most Important Ideas/Facts: ·       The surgery experience: Chris underwent a Whipple procedure, a complex and life-threatening surgery for cancer. ·       Imagery for Surgical Preparation: Mo developed an imagery script for Chris with specific goals related to the hospital experience and surgery. This included: ·       Setting expectations of a successful outcome. ·       Visualizing the process of navigating the surgery. ·       Identifying controllable factors, such as communicating with the surgical team and requesting positive language. ·       "Another component that we uh dove into was the hospital experience and retrading and creating the experience of actually going in for the surgery and setting an expectation of a success of what that surgery was going to look like for Chris, how he was going to navigate the process..." ·       Leveraging the Power of Suggestion and Blood Flow Control: A key, unorthodox element of the imagery was the concept of using the mind to consciously redirect blood flow away from the surgical site. This was based on the understanding of the mind-body connection and documented cases in medical literature. ·       "...we leveraged wanted to leverage the power of suggestion to the mind that the mind and the body are very intricately uh connected like they are intertwined and that mind body connection I don't think we I think we have only scratched the surface on the mind body connection and our understanding of it." ·       "...we devised a plan for Chris in his imagery script to allow his mind to work with his body to redirect blood flow away from the surgical site allowing the surgeon to be able to clearly see the tissue that needed to be removed." ·       Imagery for Healing: The script also focused on the body's natural ability to heal, starting immediately after the surgery. ·       "Then we tapped into healing both immediately after the surgery and then follow up and those and uh making sure that we we understood that your body has the incredible ability to heal itself." ·       Preparation for Surgery: The imagery reinforced the importance of being mentally prepared, confident, and calm to allow the body to focus on the surgery and healing process, rather than being in a high state of arousal. ·       "And then we wanted to make sure that we went into the surgery that we were as mentally prepared and confident. We were as calm as we could be so that the body could focus on getting through the surgery and starting the healing process and not coming down from a high state of fight or flight or high state of sympathetic arousal." ·       Chris's Personal Experience with the Imagery: Chris found the script to be powerful and effective, becoming an "in Airwig," constantly running in his mind. ·       "...that script became kind of a uh, you know, in Airwig. It It was constantly going in my mind and and I used it a lot." ·       Confirmation of Reduced Bleeding (Anecdotal but Significant): Chris specifically asked his surgeon about the bleeding during the surgery and was told that there wasn't a lot of bleeding, which made the procedure easier. This aligns with the imagery's intended effect. ·       "...when I asked him too, I says, okay, so how about, you know, just a quick question about the surgery site and the bleeding. He says, you know, again, this is unscripted and he didn't know what had gone on. He says, you know what, thinking about, he said, there really wasn't a lot of bleeding like that. See, then that's kind of what made the surgery so easy." ·       Second Case of Reduced Bleeding: Chris shared the imagery script with another woman, Bridget, undergoing a similar surgery. Her surgeon also reported unusually low bleeding at the surgical site. This adds further anecdotal support to the potential impact of the imagery. ·       "And the surgeon told her the same thing. He says, 'Yeah, it was weird that we just there was not a lot of bleeding.' So, again, anecdotal, but on the other hand, I think it does offer powerful uh evidence that, you know, it can hurt." ·       Chris's Recovery and Current State: Chris has made an "amazing recovery" and is doing well two years post-surgery. He attributes his success, in part, to being physically and mentally strong going into the surgery and using the imagery. He is currently ranked among the top men's ultimate health guys in his age group. ·       "Chris goes from a life-threatening, you know, situation to uh an short of an amazing recovery. And he makes, I think, number six out of the top 10 of men's ultimate health guys uh at his age..." ·       The Future of Performance Enhancement Imagery: Mo and Chris believe that performance imagery is underutilized but highly effective and can be applied to various aspects of life to achieve excellence. ·       "I think with performance imagery there's so many areas that we could apply it apply it to in all aspects of our our lives..." ·       "Every single one of us wants to be excellent at what we do and you can give yourself the advantage through the use of performance enhancement imagery." ·       Requires Effort: While powerful, imagery is not a "magic panacea" and requires willingness to do "hard work" and go through "struggle" for real learning and effectiveness. ·       "You have to be willing to do the hard work. This is not a magic panacea where you just listen to a script or you just um wish it upon yourself." ·       Contact Information: Mo and Chris provide contact information for those interested in learning more or seeking support. Conclusion: The discussion between Mo and Chris provides a compelling, albeit anecdotal, account of the potential impact of intentional mental preparation and performance enhancement imagery, particularly in the context of a life-threatening medical procedure. The emphasis on controlling one's mindset, leveraging the mind-body connection (specifically for blood flow control), and preparing both physically and mentally appears to have played a significant role in Chris's successful surgery and remarkable recovery. Both individuals advocate for the broader application and structured use of imagery to enhance performance and navigate challenges in various domains of life, stressing the need for an open mind and willingness to invest effort.

The greatest danger to churches today is an unwillingness to have tough conversations with each other. The Devil's greatest tool is division. If he can cause churches to fight amongst themselves, they will fail.Communication's greatest gift is its ability to resolve conflict and build connections that aren't easily destroyed. “Excellent communication doesn't just happen naturally. It is a product of process, skill, climate, relationship, and hard work.” - Pat McMillanIf you have a problem with a brother or sister in Christ, the only person you should discuss that problem with, to begin with, is them. If you haven't given your brother or sister a chance to correct their ills, don't expect your pastor to do it for you. Communication is a matter of correction, not a seed of animosity.Our communication must be grounded in love.We must remember that the goal of our communication is restoration.Matthew 18:15-16, Ephesians 4:26-27, Proverbs 10:12

Chris Hunt forged Code of the West from the ashes of loss, burnout, and a mind that wouldn't quit. In this unvarnished talk, he digs into suicide's scars, sleepless nights, and a brain scan that flipped the script—plus a dark laugh or two.

Summary Dr. Elisa Chiang discussed strategies for creating predictability in unpredictable economic times, emphasizing that the fundamentals of the economy are generally sound, with current uncertainty stemming from external factors. She highlighted the importance of understanding economic interrelations and the potential impact of challenging international relationships. Dr. Chiang suggested that individuals and businesses should evaluate their dependencies and explore ways to become more self-reliant. For physicians, this includes recognizing the value of their skills and exploring options beyond traditional employment, such as private practice or becoming invaluable within their current roles. She also emphasized the importance of diversifying income streams and managing personal finances to reduce reliance on a single paycheck. The conversation also covered strategies for physicians to increase their income, such as specializing in high-value procedures, leveraging support staff, and improving efficiency. Dr. Chiang advised questioning fixed mindsets, challenging existing beliefs, and experimenting with new approaches to adapt to unpredictable times. She also discussed tax planning, investment strategies, and the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective when dealing with market volatility. For those nearing retirement, she recommended assessing risk tolerance, diversifying portfolios, and building a cash cushion. Dr. Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals navigate their financial situations and achieve their financial goals. Her podcast, 'Grow Your Wealthy Mindset,' provides financial literacy in bite-sized pieces, helping listeners build the knowledge and mindset needed to create financial stability. Chapters Introduction to Predictability in Unpredictable Times Elisa Chiang was invited to discuss creating predictability in unpredictable economic times. The discussion is framed as non-political, focusing on the factual unpredictability of the world. The goal is to provide strategies for individuals to make their financial situations more predictable. Economic Fundamentals and Global Interdependence Chiang stated that the fundamentals of the economy are still good, unlike the issues in 2008 with banking regulation. The current uncertainty is attributed to the actions and statements of certain individuals. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of economics and global interrelations. Anytime decisions are made from an independent place, you start to realize we're actually not independent at all. Challenging Independence and Embracing Interdependence Chiang suggests challenging the idea of complete independence and recognizing interdependence on others. Asking questions about dependencies and self-reliance is valuable, but actions must be carefully considered. Many people feel dependent on their paycheck, but physicians have options due to the physician shortage. Separating the ability to produce income from the current job can create stability. Creating Independence and Managing Control The discussion covers the mentality behind creating a private practice and the desire for independence. It's noted that even in private practice, there is still interdependence on systems and people. The focus should be on how to become independent and self-determining results in situations where you don't have control over all of these things. It's important to understand what you can and can't control. Strategies for Exerting Independence Chiang suggests becoming an entrepreneur within your job to make yourself invaluable. This involves attracting patients directly and highlighting your value to the practice or institution. Employers care about generating income, so making yourself invaluable in this area is crucial. Taking care of personal finances and creating multiple income streams reduces reliance on a single paycheck. Translating Value into Income The inherent value of experience, training, and knowledge is highlighted. Physicians translate this value into income through their actions. The trap of trading time for money limits income potential unless value is translated into different income streams. The discussion explores ways physicians can generate income outside the classic RVU model. Increasing Income within the Physician Realm Specializing in specific procedures or surgeries can elevate income. Leveraging other people, such as nurse practitioners, can double clinic output. Hiring scribes can increase productivity and collections. Physicians should work at the top of their income level, delegating tasks to others. Mindset Shifts for Unpredictable Times Adopting a growth mindset can help individuals respond more effectively in unpredictable times. Questioning current beliefs and challenging the status quo is important. Comparing oneself to others who are thriving can provide insights and motivation. Willingness to spend money to make money and accepting failure are key to success. Helping Individuals Deal with Change Questioning the truth of current situations and exploring potential changes is crucial. Experimenting with small changes and learning from others can lead to improvements. Advocating for necessary resources, such as dedicated scrub techs, can increase efficiency. Believing in the potential for change and presenting a clear case for it is essential. Financial Viability in Private Practice A simple formula for private practice success is income minus expenses minus tax burden. All three factors can be influenced in different ways. Leveraging people, doing more cases, and optimizing income streams are ways to increase income. Tax burden can be managed through various strategies. Tax Planning and Side Businesses Every time is unpredictable, so framing the mindset accordingly is important. The more we think like, yeah, the world is doing whatever it's worlding. The world is doing whatever it's doing. We can make our own predictivity, then we don't have to keep thinking like, oh, it's unpredictable, and we have no way to affect it. It's just always unpredictable. As a W-2 employee, there are limited options for tax reduction. Having a side business can provide opportunities to write off personal expenses. Side hustles should align with passions and translate into value and money. Time Management and Productivity Finding something else that you need to find you having to find more time in order to do something helps you structure your time so that you are most efficient with your time. Limited time resources require careful management. Calendaring and time-blocking can improve efficiency. Having a list of tasks that can be done in 10-15 minute intervals can boost productivity. Managing Retirement Funds If retirement is 10 years or more away, continue with the financial plan and consider contributing more. Maximize retirement accounts and explore other savings options. Buying stocks when they are on sale can be a great strategy. Establish a risk tolerance and adjust investment strategies accordingly. Investment Strategies and Risk Tolerance The stock market tends to go up over time, especially with more people investing. Investing during downturns can lead to better outcomes. Even in retirement, there is still a long investing career ahead. Avoid panic selling and maintain a long-term perspective. Retirement Planning and Withdrawal Rates Assess investment strategies and consider shifting to a more conservative portfolio if nearing retirement. Develop a cash cushion to avoid selling stocks during the first few years of retirement. Understand what money is for and focus on enjoyment and security. Consider a Monte Cristo analysis to assess the chances of running out of money. Dr. Chang's Coaching and Podcast Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals reach their financial goals.

Hello to you listening in Farmington, Missouri!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  This photo is my view of Ebey's Landing, Whidbey Island, Washington looking south toward the Admiralty Head Lighthouse, Fort Casey, and Admiralty Inlet which becomes Puget Sound. Fields are cleared, tilled, planted. Even a dwelling (Ferry House circa 1860's) still tucked in the woods. A brilliant summer day. But imagine how it began ......In 1854 Jacob and Sarah Ebey were 61 and 58 years old respectively (more than twice the age of the average traveler) when they left Missouri and set out on the Oregon Trail. Traveling over 2,000 miles and across the rugged, forbidding Rocky Mountains they made their way to Whidbey Island, Washington. Why leave home and all they knew for this arduous journey in their late years? Because their son Isaac said that the farmland was far better than any in the Midwest making this new frontier home for the families.  You have to wonder about these settlers who were willing to leave the comfort of all they knew unaware of what awaited them on the other side except maybe this: that the lives they had led were not going to be the lives they would lead.  How did they forge new frontiers? I imagine that it took willingness in the face of uncertainty.  Like them, we're all challenged with forging new paths in our lives; but we can and we will as long as we remember to say “Yes! Despite the odds. Yes! Come what may.”  Question: What new frontier might you be willing to venture into?You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

In this week's podcast episode 201. Confidence Reminders, I'm diving deep into the concept of confidence - and spoiler alert, it's probably not what you think! As a mission coach, I've noticed how many missionaries and returned missionaries struggle with feeling confident, especially during big transitions. I'm sharing a powerful realization I had during a coaching session that completely transformed how I understand confidence, and I can't wait to break it down for you. What if confidence isn't about looking or feeling perfect, but about being willing to feel uncomfortable? I'll walk you through my definition of self-confidence, which is all about embracing those nervous, anxious, and uncertain feelings instead of running from them. We'll explore the critical difference between competence and true confidence, and I'll give you five key reminders that will help you tap into your inner strength, no matter what challenge you're facing. Whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or navigating life after your mission, this episode is for you. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.     Website | Instagram | Facebook   Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE   Free PDF Download:  Podcast Roadmap   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Will God reach out to us in our need? That's the aching question at the heart of Matthew 8 and, if we're honest, the question many of us quietly carry. The leper wonders, “Is God willing?” The Roman officer, seeking help for his servant, quietly asks the same. The crowds gathered at Peter's house come, each with the desperate hope that God's compassion and power are not reserved for someone else—but will reach even them. Deep down, all of us want to know: Will God cross the distance? Is He willing to touch us at our lowest, at our most unclean and unworthy? So much in our world, and even our religion, tries to sell us the lie of separation—that God is far off, distant, too holy to come near our mess. We get the message that God will keep his distance until we make ourselves acceptable, that we are always just out of reach. But that is not the gospel. The gospel is the declaration that God is not removed. In Christ, He draws near—He steps across every boundary, he sits with us in our worst, he touches what others would call untouchable, and he makes us clean. In answer to every fearful, doubting heart, Jesus says, “I am willing.” He unmasks the lie of separation with the reality of his compassion and presence. God, in Christ, is not far off from you. He is willing, he is present, and he has set his heart to set you free. Where you are right now is not too far. Your struggle, your shame, your uncleanness—none of it keeps him away. The good news is not only that God can restore and heal, but that God desires to do so, and he is already with you, closer than your breath. My prayer today is that I might be rooted more deeply in this union with Christ, that the lie of separation would lose its grip on my heart and mind. That's my prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's my prayer for you: that you would know, in the depths of your being, that God is willing, God is near, and you truly are loved. May it be so. Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for April 21st, 2025, your host Hunter guides us through day 111 of our journey through the scriptures. Together, we'll explore First Samuel 24, Psalms 57 and 58, First Chronicles 8, and Matthew 8. This episode dives deep into dramatic moments—David spares Saul's life in the cave, the heartfelt songs and pleas of David in the Psalms, rich genealogies tracing the descendants of Benjamin, and several of Jesus's remarkable miracles: healing the leper, the Roman officer's servant, and calming a raging storm. Hunter not only reads and reflects on these passages, but also shares an encouraging message about the willingness and compassion of God. He confronts the lie of separation, reminding us that God is not distant, but present and loving—no matter where we find ourselves. Wrapping up, he leads us in heartfelt prayers and urges us to root ourselves in the good news of Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we lean into the joy and assurance that we are deeply loved by God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

The Apostle Paul was moved with such compassion for his unbelieving countrymen that he was willing to be accursed of God for the sake of their salvation. Jesus Christ had such compassion for us that he did go to the cross to be cut off from his Father and was made to be a curse for us to secure our salvation. Does his compassion for you motivate you to reach Jew and Gentile alike with his glorious gospel? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29
