What makes a spiritual leader trustworthy? Through 1 Timothy 3:1 through 7, Chrissy Cole examines biblical leadership and the character God desires in those who lead. Trust begins with calling, is earned through character, starts at home, and takes time, ultimately pointing us to Jesus as the perfect trustworthy Shepherd and the One we must surrender our lives to follow.

If someone handed your competitor every prompt, workflow and AI system you use today, would you still have an advantage? That is the question that opens this live roundtable, recorded in a sealed room at the first Founder AI Studio Live in Toronto. Ten women who are not just using AI but building with it: intellectual property strategists, AI educators, investors, community builders, and operators who have built and exited companies. No keynote. No panel. Just founders comparing notes from the front line. IP lawyer Andrea Bolden takes on the part most founders get wrong: whether your prompts, workflows and custom GPTs count as intellectual property, why switching off the training toggle is not the protection you think it is, why people trademark a name while giving away the entire body of work underneath it, and which AI tools will actually indemnify you if you get sued. The room also gets into what happens to knowledge businesses when knowledge stops being scarce, why AI-native builds beat AI retrofits, the environmental cost nobody wants to raise, the risk of putting your child's face into these systems, and the six companies capturing most of the value from all of it. It ends with a lightning round on the one tool each founder actually uses.

Writing your first angel check is an act of conviction. For Lisha Bell it was also an act of defiance. She had spent 20 years as a Black woman in tech, rarely working alongside other Black people or women, watching founders who looked like her get passed over. VC wasn't going to fix it. So she decided to write her own checks. And she wants more women to do the same. Lisha grew up working the cash register at her dad's gas station in South Central LA, counting nickels and dimes, watching money move through a community in real time. She understood early that money was a tool and a need. When her family lost everything, that lesson got sharper. She got to the Bay Area, maxed out her 401k from her very first paycheck, and bought a house in Oakland at 24. Not because someone told her to. Because she was afraid of being poor and she wasn't going to wait for anyone else to sort it out. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Lisha talks about what it actually looks like to become an angel investor when you built everything yourself, why she did it with a community of women instead of alone, and what it means to deploy capital into founders nobody else was betting on. Lisha built the room she needed when nobody else would. Syama is doing the same thing at Wealth Catalyst, salons and summits where women speak candidly about money, risk, and the choices that shape a life. If you want to be part of that room,join us at the Wealth Catalyst Summit, a full-day event in San Francisco this October 16, 2026, or find a Freedom Tour salon happening near you.

Have you ever felt like everyone else has more help than you?In this week's episode of What's the Word?, I'm sharing a real and honest summer update—what it's been like navigating life as a full-time mom of two while building a business with limited childcare, chasing big dreams, and learning to let go of the pressure to do it all.Together we'll reflect on Romans 12:4–5 and the reminder that God created us for community.

I'm sharing the 5 biggest lessons I took away from spending 3 days in a room full of women building million-dollar businesses, and why they matter for creating your Freedom Life abroad. These aren't just business lessons; they're mindset shifts that can change the way you pursue any big goal. I'm addressing: How you can build a life (and business) that gives you more space, less stress, and still supports the life you want, and that's a bigger win than chasing revenue for the sake of it.How to stop overwhelming yourself with a million priorities and focus on the one goal that will move your life forward.Why it's time to stop apologizing for taking up space and going after what you want.How getting crystal clear about what you want (and telling people often) opens the door to opportunities, partnerships, and connections.The power of resilience, how it's built (not born), and why every challenge prepares you for your next level.A 3-step framework to break big goals, like moving abroad, into focused action steps you can actually follow through on.If you're ready to stop playing small and start building your Freedom Life with more intention, this episode is for you.

Retreats Are More Than a Getaway Holistic retreats offer: community connection healing self-discovery They create experiences that go far beyond relaxation. Building a Retreat Business Isn't Easy - But It's Worth It The founders of SOL Women share the real side of building a retreat business: the challenges the learning curve the unexpected growth And also the rewards that make it all worthwhile. The Power of Community One of the most impactful aspects of retreats is the connection created between participants. Women leave feeling: seen supported understood And that ripple effect continues long after the retreat ends. About SOL Women & Lauren & Nandita SOL Women creates holistic retreat experiences designed specifically for midlife women. Their retreats focus on supporting women through life transitions with a blend of wellness practices, community connection, and personal growth. Nandita Mahadevan is a multi-industry business leader, Functional Medicine enthusiast, and Certified Health & Hormone Coach with a deep passion for women's health. After two decades climbing the corporate ladder in the health and wellness industry, she found herself burned out—her adrenals depleted, her health suffering. This wake-up call led her on a profound journey of self-discovery, pushing her to rethink wellness beyond just the clinical approach. Her passion for women's health peaked during her own transition into perimenopause when she struggled to find the support she needed. While her background in Functional Medicine helped her understand the physical changes, the emotional and spiritual upheaval was something she had to navigate alone. This experience sparked the creation of Sol Women—a space dedicated to guiding women through all stages of womanhood, from hormones and health to emotional and spiritual well-being. Nandita lives in Bee Cave, Austin, with her two children, ages 13 and 8. Lauren Colletti, FNP, is a Nurse Practitioner and Board-Certified Functional Medicine expert with a deep passion for women's health. With nearly 20 years in healthcare, she has helped thousands of women navigate hormonal shifts, thyroid and digestive issues, autoimmunity, fertility, menopause, and more. Trained by leading experts in women's health, genomics, peptides, and longevity medicine, Lauren is dedicated to simplifying the health journey and helping women feel confident in their bodies at every stage of life—without the overwhelm. Her personalized, root-cause approach focuses on building a strong foundation while using cutting-edge therapies to create lasting wellness. She believes women deserve more than one-size-fits-all solutions—they deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered. As a wife and mother to three beautiful children—Hazel, Harrison, and Holland—Lauren is continually inspired by her patients and community. She is on her own journey to thrive through every phase of life and is passionate about helping others do the same.

Podcasting got a seat at the grown-up’s table at South by SouthWest for the first time, smack in middle of Women's History Month. So Insider Interviews captured content from three women also making strides in media, during Podcast Movement Evolutions. I spoke with these media powerhouses at The Podcast Academy / Sounds Profitable co-sponsored booth to talk about building: businesses, communities, the future of media itself…and building up women everywhere. Learn from: the co-founder of a startup modernizing how print and out-of-home are bought and sold, a global communications CEO who has built her career on making messaging move people, and one of the new forces behind podcasting's growing presence itself. Mach on Modernizing “Premium” Media for a New Era Beth Mach, Co-Founder & COO of Spacely Media, introduces the first transactional marketplace for premium media — giving print, out-of-home, and venue advertising the digital infrastructure it’s never had. “Buying in those channels today still looks like it did 20 years ago — lots of PDFs, lots of phone calls. Spacely closes that gap.” Their platform replaces friction with functionality, and dashboards instead of PDFs. Like Neil Vogel, in my recent episode with the People, Inc. CEO, Mach is bullish on magazines and makes the case for why brands are coming back to these channels. She also explains why credibility wins the room when you’re raising money. It shouldn’t be different as a female founder. But… “Every founder meets skepticism. When you are female, it adds another layer — especially when the room has historically looked a little different.” — Beth Mach Lund on Messaging to and for Humans Wendy Lund, Global CEO of Allison Worldwide and returning Insider Interviews guest (exactly one year later!), reflects on her path from women's health advocacy to leading a global agency — and what she's building now. Her path ran from a master’s in women’s history to nonprofit marketing, to running a global agency. With her move to Global CEO of Allison Worldwide and Vice Chair of health at parent company Stagwell, Wendy described her enthusiasm for Allison's strengths, across campaigns, media/influencer, and experiential. She reinforces the importance of listening, purpose-driven work, and addressing ongoing inequities in women's health and mental health. “My favorite value has always been belonging. Do your customers feel like they’re part of something? To me, that is so sticky.” Her advice for building brand love in a fragmented media world is deceptively simple: be real, and build belonging. She's also clear-eyed about the disconnect between how much we talk about innovation — and how much attention women's health actually gets: “AI is on the tip of everybody's tongue — but at the end of the day, it's also steeped in emotion. And we're 51% of the population. That means we should get 51% of the attention.” — Wendy Lund DeMellier Sounds Like an Inspiration Molly DeMellier, Head of Communications at Sounds Profitable, gives an insider's scoop on the organization helping shape podcasting's growing presence at SXSW and beyond. She points to the combined strengths of the co-founders: Bryan Barletta's (“terrifying”) encyclopedic industry brain and Tom Webster's research engine, along with her own expanding role shaping panel strategy, supporting retainer clients, and helping partners amplify their stories. Molly describes Sounds Profitable place in podcasting as building community and connection through events, networking, research, and partner support, emphasizing that “Podcasting is really taking off and it’s the people that power it.” But, noting the industry's representation gap, takes her role seriously when working on events like Podcast Movement, pondering “who do I put on stage that’s going to inspire that next person” to know they can see themselves podcasting. And she closes with something that sticks: her belief that women shouldn’t have to choose between a career and a family — and why she’s determined to make sure the next generation sees women in power. “A big fear I have is that women will leave professions not by choice, but by force. And my biggest fear is what about the children who see their mom who didn’t have a choice?” — Molly DeMellier This is Episode 50 in Season 2. I think it sounds like a milestone worth celebrating. Key Moments & Time Codes 00:00 — How Podcast Movement Evolutions made its first-ever appearance at SXSW 00:53 — Beth Mach explains why Spacely calls it premium media — and why that reframe matters for the industry 04:50 — Beth explains how buying a print ad in 2025 still works the way it did 20 years ago — and how Spacely is finally changing that 09:40 — Why print titles that shut down years ago are quietly relaunching — and what that signals for brands 14:55 — On fundraising as a female founder: the extra layer of skepticism, and how clarity of purpose cuts through it 16:30 — Wendy Lund returns one year later as Global CEO of Allison Worldwide — what changed, and why she missed agency life 22:21 — What Wendy learned going in-house at Organon: the difference between talking at women and actually listening to them 23:16 — Women’s health today: the innovations gaining ground and the conditions still being undertreated 27:35 — How Sounds Profitable brought the podcast industry to SXSW — and why community-building is at the core of everything they do 30:57 — What Sounds Profitable partners get: industry counsel, audience research expertise, and Molly’s evangelism that helps all boats rise! 34:59 — Closing thought as a woman in business: rising childcare costs are pushing women out of the workforce not by choice, but by force.

QUOTES from the episode: "You absolutely belong here. There are many paths into this industry, and there's room for everyone to thrive." - Cindy Zeis "Patience, facts, and science always win the day." - Sharla Riead "The future of women in building science is unlimited." - Nancy St. Hilaire In this milestone 150th episode of RESTalk, host Bill Spohn marks Women's History Month by highlighting the voices of women from across the RESNET® community. Through a series of short conversations, industry leaders share how they entered the world of building science, the mentors who influenced their careers, and how the industry has evolved over time. Their stories reveal that there is no single path into the home performance and HERS® ecosystem. Some entered through construction, the mechanical trades, and hands-on field work, while others came through sustainability planning, academic programs, or early energy-auditing efforts dating back to energy crises of past decades. What they share is a passion for solving complex problems in buildings and translating technical building science into practical solutions that improve comfort, efficiency, durability, and affordability. The conversation also explores the experience of working in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Guests reflect on early moments of needing to prove their credibility, walking onto job sites where they were the only woman in the room, and overcoming stereotypes about fieldwork. At the same time, they highlight the strong mentorship, collaboration, and respect that characterize the RESNET® network. Many have seen meaningful progress over the years, with more women becoming HERS raters, modelers, quality assurance professionals, and industry leaders. Looking ahead, the guests point to one of the biggest remaining barriers: visibility. Many people simply do not realize that building science exists as a career path. Their advice to the next generation is to stay curious, seek hands-on experience, build strong communication skills, and ground their work in solid science and ethics. As building performance becomes increasingly interdisciplinary, blending field diagnostics, data, standards, and software, the opportunities for women to influence and lead the industry are expanding rapidly. Their closing reflections capture the spirit of the episode: the future of women in building science is impactful, influential, and ultimately unlimited.

Women are starting businesses at record-breaking rates, yet we remain the least funded. So what's the real plan for 2026? In this special Women's History Month solo episode, I break down the opportunity in front of us: shifting from participation to power.

We explore the powerful intersection of proactive health, evidence-based products, and social stigma around reproductive health, for both women and men.How Samantha Diamond's personal experience with infertility and loss inspired her to build Bird&Be and challenge the norms of fertility support.The gap in education and accessibility around reproductive health, and how Bird&Be's platform and products aim to fill it—even in “fertility deserts” with limited care.Why early, proactive testing and tracking are critical for optimizing fertility outcomes for both women and men, and how Bird&Be's at-home tests make this more achievable.The evidence-based lifestyle recommendations and supplements designed by fertility doctors, including diet, sleep, movement, and key micronutrients, to support fertility.The importance of including men in the fertility conversation, breaking down stigma, and gamifying the testing experience to encourage involvement and levity during a stressful process.TLDR:Bird&Be is changing the fertility landscape by making evidence-based education, testing, and supplements accessible—while breaking stigma and involving both genders in the conversation.

It's all inside, without the gatekeeping and without the overwhelm.Building a real business became possible for Dr. Lisa Klein when she stopped trying to do everything alone and chose to grow inside a community of women who understood the work.Lindsay Pinchuk talks with pediatrician and Turning Teen founder Dr. Lisa Klein about how a deeply personal idea grew into a legitimate business with national reach. Turning Teen began as a response to a need Dr. Klein saw in her medical practice, parents who wanted support talking with their kids about puberty, body image, emotions, and sex education but did not know where to start. What began as small workshops in living rooms evolved into structured programming for schools, community groups, and families across multiple cities.Dr. Klein shares how joining the Dear Found Her Forum and participating in Marketing Made Simple helped her move from treating Turning Teen as a side project to running it as a real business. Being surrounded by other women builders gave her clarity, accountability, and confidence as she learned marketing, partnerships, hiring, and systems. How different does growth feel when you are not figuring it out alone?The conversation points out how community relationships turned into real opportunities, from strategic partnerships to new offerings and large scale events.
