✨ Episode Summary In this deeply personal and Spirit-led episode, Dr. Leelo Bush shares how a quiet moment of surrender led to a global movement—and how the same can happen for you. If you've ever hesitated because you didn't feel “ready” to step into coaching, ministry, or healing work, this message will break chains. You'll be reminded that God doesn't need you to be perfect—He needs you to be willing. Through powerful scripture, bold truth, and a heartfelt challenge, you'll discover why your story, your scars, and your “yes” might be the answer to someone else's prayer.

In this deeply inspiring episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with John Chappelear - author, speaker, and former high-flying entrepreneur—to explore the life-changing lessons behind his award-winning book The Daily Six. After losing a multi-million-dollar business and facing personal devastation, John reframed his failures as “gifts of devastation” that led him to discover a new way of living rooted in emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and service to others. John shares his journey from being a “recovering big shot” to a mindful leader and mentor, introducing listeners to his six transformative principles: Willingness, Quiet Time, Love and Forgiveness, Gratitude, Service, and Action. Through personal stories, corporate case studies, and honest reflections, John explains how these values can restore balance and purpose—not just in business, but in life. Whether you're a CEO, a team leader, or simply someone seeking personal clarity, this episode delivers both wisdom and practical tools to help you live and lead with intention.

In this episode, the host republished an interview with guest Robbie Holz to highlight an important discussion about the secrets of Aboriginal healing. Robbie delves into her late husband Gary's transformative journey into the Australian Outback, where he sought healing from multiple sclerosis through Aboriginal spiritual practices. She shares how the Aboriginal philosophy intertwines the body, mind, and spirit for holistic healing. Robbie also recounts her own healing experiences and the profound lessons learned from the Aboriginal people she met. Together, they explore emotional and spiritual alignment, highlighting the significance of letting go of negative emotions and embracing higher frequencies of love. The episode also touches on the role of guardian angels, the power of willingness, and the importance of self-love in one's healing journey. About Robbie: Robbie Holz is an internationally respected healer and medium, frequent media guest and an author of the award-winning books read in 43 countries: "Secrets of Aboriginal Healing" and "Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening." Robbie's life was drastically altered in 1985. After a difficult 36-hour delivery, while giving birth to her child, Robbie was given a blood transfusion to "perk her up faster".  Unfortunately the transfusion was tainted with Hepatitis C, a disease often referred to as the silent killer. Like a Trojan horse, the virus hid in her body--until it confidently and openly declared war seven years later. Robbie was in for the fight, and spiritual awakening, of her life. Due to her reaction to the experimental Hepatitis treatment, Robbie developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, temporary brain damage, and became bedridden for 7 months. Since Western medicine was no longer able to help her, Robbie set out to find alternative ways to survive and recover. She ultimately healed herself of Hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and treatment-induced temporary brain damage, described in her award-winning memoir Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening. Her latest book is "Angels in Waiting: How to Reach Out to Your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides." The companion guidebook is "Vibrant Living: Braving the Pandemic with Help from Your Guardian Angel."

David: Hi, and welcome back to today's episode, co-host Kevin Rosenquist and I discuss the lead quality matrix. Welcome back, Kevin. Kevin: Good to be here. Excited to chat about this, because I don't know what you're talking about. Kevin: So what is this lead quality matrix and why is it important? David: Well, a lot of times in my work with clients, we're talking about leads. "I need more leads" and "I got to get more leads," everybody's always talking about leads, which is very important. But as we're getting these leads in the door, sometimes it's a good idea to say, "okay, well who do I actually want to bring in?" Now, in our work with clients, we are very big on qualification. We want to make sure that the leads that we bring in are being qualified as quickly as possible. Because if they're not qualified, we don't really want to spend a whole lot of time interacting with them. So when we're bringing new leads through the door, obviously we're going to try to disqualify the not so great ones in the early stages. But also when we're putting stuff out into the market, whether it's a social media post or an email or we're meeting somebody for the first time at a networking function, whatever it is, we want to try to get an idea of the quality of the lead as early in the process as possible. When I talk about the lead quality matrix, if you just sort of imagine a graph. And going across the bottom is Willingness to Communicate. Are they willing to communicate? And so the farther you go to the right, the more willing they are to communicate with you and then going up and down is money to spend. Do they have money to spend? If they have a lot of money to spend, that goes up. If they don't, it's at the bottom. So if you think of that as being the matrix. You start off in the lower left hand corner, you've got people who have no money to spend who are not communicative. That's kind of easy, right? Kevin: Yeah. Those aren't ideal. David: Right. We know what we're doing with those people. We're going to jettison them as soon as humanly possible. In the upper right, we have those who are highly communicative and who have money to spend. So what do we call those people? Like ideal clients, I would say, right, high quality leads. This is the sweet spot. This is where I want to be. This is what I'm looking for, right? Kevin: Right. David: So that's kind of obvious. What's less obvious, and in some ways more interesting is the other corners, right? If you look at some of the other corners and you say, okay here are a bunch of people who are extremely communicative. They'll communicate all day, they'll talk to you till they're blue in the face, but they have no money to spend. Huge time wasters. Many people will go to networking functions and talk to people like this for hours on end, weeks at a time, because they never take the time to just do the simple math on it and say, okay, highly communicative, unable to spend. So that's an interesting group of people. Then we have the other extreme, which is people who have a lot of money to spend, but they're just not talking to you. So if they have a lot of money to spend, if it's a big client, big company, very self-important, but they won't return your phone calls, and they won't talk to you... You decide how long you want to deal with that sort of thing. Kevin: Yeah. David: And those are just the four most extreme points. But it really is obvious when you look at it like that. Kevin: And we've all chased the white whale or whatever that has all the money and you're wanting it so bad to get them as a client. Because you know it'll be lucrative. But I don't know. Those people tend to be very difficult to deal with too if you finally do land them. David: Well, yeah, particularly if they're not communicative. I mean, we could do another grid, that has good people, bad people, right? It's a similar kind of thing. Yeah.

We often approach prayer thinking we have to convince God to respond, but the truth is that He is more willing than we realize. In this message, we look at how Scripture teaches us to lay hold of God's willingness and align our prayers with His will. Through key passages like Mark 5, Philippians 4, and 1 John 5, we see that prayer is not about changing God's heart but allowing Him to change ours. Whether you're dealing with delay, discouragement, or doubt, this message will encourage you to keep praying, keep believing, and trust that God's “yes” is filled with purpose and rooted in His love.

Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss some ways to diagnose whether your church is ready to enter into a season of revitalization and renewal: Hearts that are humble – “This is the Lord's church, not ours.” Desire to reach the community with the gospel – “This is our mission and mission field.” Commitment to submit to the Bible – “The Word of God is our authority.” Willingness to take risks and do whatever it takes – “We are desperate to see God move here.” Belief that God can actually revitalize dying churches – “God isn't done with us.” Resources Related to This Episode: Falling in Love with Jesus (Again) by David Jackson Flickering Lamps: Christ and His Church by Henry and Richard Blackaby God's Not Done with Your Church by Mark Hallock

Drawing from Psalm 23:5 and powerful biblical and modern illustrations, he exposes the danger of “running on empty” in life and ministry.From the tragic plane crash of a seasoned pilot to the foolish virgins who had no oil when the bridegroom arrived, this message is a wake-up call: It's not enough to look okay on the outside—your tank must be full on the inside.Learn: • Why spiritual burnout is often mistaken for normal ministry life. • The signs that you're ministering without the power of the Holy Spirit. • How God prepares a feast in the middle of your fiercest battle. • Why daily renewal is not optional in the last days. • And how to step into God's overflow and receive supernatural refreshing.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Russ Hawkins, a seasoned three-time CEO renowned for reviving and scaling struggling startups into profitable, exit-ready companies. With a background rooted in sales and a practical MBA earned through hands-on transformation work alongside McKinsey and AT&T, Russ shares his battle-tested playbook for turning chaos into clarity.Together, they unpack Russ's journey from humble beginnings to orchestrating successful pivots in tech companies across hardware, software, and analytics. He reveals how he assesses leadership, evaluates products, and identifies untapped markets — even amidst fierce competition and failing patents. Russ emphasizes the importance of listening to customers, understanding competitors, and making quick, strategic decisions based on data.The conversation also explores signs that a pivot is needed, how to test for willingness to pay, and what makes a company attractive for acquisition — especially in the age of private equity dominance. This is a must-listen for founders, investors, and anyone steering companies through change, disruption, or scale.TakeawaysTurnarounds require deep customer and competitor understanding — listen more than you speak.Growth rate and churn are two of the clearest signs a pivot is necessary.Don't underestimate small, underserved market segments — they can be goldmines.Losing patent protection should trigger urgent strategic reassessment.Price high and validate value — underpricing can signal poor quality.Strategic pivots often mean repositioning your product, not reinventing it.Talk to everyone: competitors, customers, staff, and trusted advisors.Testing willingness to pay should be structured around real customer problems.Cultivate private equity relationships early — most exits go this route now.Always “lose quickly” in sales — avoid staying too long in the friend zone.Leadership assessments should focus on shared values, not just resumes.A strong turnaround starts with understanding the product's true capabilities.Chapters00:00 Competitive Weaknesses and Sales Foundations01:30 The Accidental CEO vs. the Professional CEO03:45 Russ's Background: Firefighting Roots to Sales Leadership06:30 The AT&T Breakup and Working with McKinsey09:00 First CEO Role and Million-Dollar Exit11:00 Pivoting a Failing Video Tech Company13:00 Losing Patent Protection and Facing Better-Funded Competitors15:00 Learning from Competitors and Going Where They Aren't17:00 Talking to Customers, Founders, and Trusted Advisors20:30 Finding Untapped Markets with Existing Technology23:00 Pivoting Hardware to Telecom Use Cases25:00 The Benefits of Private Equity vs. Venture Capital27:00 When a Pivot is Necessary: Signals and External Pressures29:30 Learning from Mistakes and Backing the Wrong Tech31:30 Quick Evaluation of Leadership and Sales Team Fit35:00 Researching New Market Opportunities with Your Team39:00 Willingness to Pay and the Dangers of Undervaluing43:00 The Case for Testing High Prices First45:00 Strategic Exits: PE Ecosystem vs. Traditional Acquirers48:30 Why Strategic Buyers Need to See Product Fit50:00 When Founders' Emotional Attachment Skews Valuation53:00 Russ's Favorite Learning Activity: Reading Biographies55:00 Final Advice: Know Your Product, Know Your Customer, Prioritize RelationshipsRuss Hawkins's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/russhawkins/Russ Hawkins's Website:https://www.agilenceinc.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

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

Ever find yourself lying awake at 2 AM, mind racing through endless scenarios about that career change, health decision, or relationship challenge? You're caught in the overthinking trap, and you're definitely not alone. In this solo episode, I dive deep into why we get stuck in our heads, especially during midlife transitions, and share practical strategies to break free from analysis paralysis. This isn't about forcing yourself to make reckless decisions; it's about learning to move forward with intention, even when you don't have all the answers.Key TakeawaysOverthinking Disguises Itself as Being "Responsible"That endless planning, researching, and waiting for the "right time" often masks self-doubt and fear. Overthinking gives us the illusion of control but actually keeps us stuck. When you catch yourself saying "I'm just not ready yet" or "I'll wait until things settle down," recognise these as potential delaying tactics.Clarity Comes Through Action, Not More ThinkingClarity emerges from doing. Even small steps forward shift the fog and give you real-time feedback about what feels right and what doesn't. Progress happens when we allow ourselves to be beginners and aim for a "messy C" instead of waiting for perfection.You Don't Need to Feel Fearless to BeginCourage isn't about eliminating fear; it's about moving with the fear instead of waiting for it to disappear. Willingness creates movement. If something isn't working for you anymore, that's enough reason to explore a new path. You don't need anyone else's permission to choose yourself.Use These 5 Practical Tools to Break the CycleWhen overthinking hits, try these specific strategies as mentioned in this episode:1) The two-minute rule (if it takes less than two minutes, do it now),2) Brain dump journaling for 2-5 minutes without editing,3) Ask yourself "what's the next kind step?"4) Set decision deadlines to create mental boundaries, and5) Use the 5-5-5 rule: will this matter in five days, five months, or five years?Small Steps Create Big ShiftsYou don't need a perfect plan or all the answers. Start with one small, kind, doable step today. Whether it's making that phone call, journaling your thoughts, or finally saying yes to something you've been avoiding, movement in any direction breaks the paralysis and builds trust with yourself.Your Next Chapter Starts NowStop waiting for the perfect moment, the complete plan, or the fearless feeling—they rarely come. The women who transform their midlife stories aren't the ones who have it all figured out; they're the ones who begin anyway. What's one area where you've been circling? What's that decision you've been postponing? Choose one small, kind step you can take today and take it.Remember, midlife isn't the end of your story, it's where you step into your next chapter. You don't need permission to want more, to try something new, or to put yourself first. If you're ready to move from overthinking to intentional action, I'm here to support you.Ready to take action?

(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.

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.
