Can social media realistically generate revenue for physical therapists?In this episode, Jimmy talks with Tony Maritato about:Growing from 2,000 to 60,000+ followers in one yearTurning patient education into monetized contentWhy reposting “old” videos worksHow one Facebook post generated $107 repeatedlyWhy engagement (not followers) is the real metricThe shift back toward in-person, analog attentionTony explains how he captures patient interactions during treatment (with consent), posts directly from his phone, and uses AI tools to analyze performance — without hiring staff or building a production studio.If you're a clinic owner, this matters because:$2,000/month offsets overheadOrganic reach builds trust before a patient callsYou're already creating content — you're just not recording itKey TakeawaysYour daily clinical work is valuable contentReposting strong content is not penalizedEngagement beats follower countSimplicity scalesAttention must be earned
#Lockboss Show: ALOA Scholarship Foundation (ASF) – Locksmith Training Help, Scholarships, and How to ApplyLocksmith training is one of the best investments you can make in your career — but for many locksmiths, the cost of classes, travel, and hotel stays makes training hard to afford.In this episode of the #Lockboss Show, we break down the ALOA Scholarship Foundation (ASF) and how it helps locksmiths access professional training by providing scholarship funding that can help cover training costs, travel expenses, and even hotel accommodations.If you've been wanting to take locksmith classes but didn't know how to pay for it, this episode could open the door.
In today's episode, I'm speaking with Maria Kamila González, the co-founder of Finanzo, a non-profit organization in Toronto that believes in making newcomers financially aware and has impacted the lives of 100,000 immigrants in the US and Canada.Maria is a psychologist by training, which means that when she talks about money, she doesn't start with budgeting or spreadsheets. She starts with your childhood, your parents, and the patterns you inherited from them, as well as the patterns your culture or society drilled into you about money.In her words, "How you treat money is how you treat everything else." Worth pausing on that for a bit, people. ----------Maria and I chat about:The baseline assessment every newcomer should do before anything elseHow banks profit from immigrants' ignorance about how credit worksHow to handle "black tax" and family remittances Why financial planning is best done progressivelyThe Finanzo origin story----------Dozie's NotesA few things that struck me as I listened through this week's conversation:With money, we're often struggling with the money habits we inherited from our parents and our culture's relationship with worthiness. To solve bad money patterns, one needs to tackle these two layers; the family and cultural layer. The family layer, which is what your parents modeled for you as a child, consciously or not. And the cultural layer, which is what colonisation embedded in entire populations about who deserves wealth and who doesn't. Money is tied closely to our identity.Most people know the right financial move. Where it falls apart is actioning it. Most of us already know that high-interest credit card debt isn't great. But we keep collecting those credit cards like the souvenirs we buy at the duty-free shops. This behaviour is why Maria treats financial literacy as therapy.The first step in taking control of your finances is understanding your baseline. Before any financial tool works, you need to understand where you stand, not just financially but psychologically. How much debt do you carry? How much are you sending home? But also: are you afraid of money? Do you feel you deserve wealth? Do you repeat the same financial mistakes every few years?----------Official Links✅ Connect with Maria Kamila González on LinkedIn✅ Check out the Finanzo websiteOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please consider sharing it with one immigrant you know.

Worry doesn't usually show up as panic.It shows up as feeling off, distracted, pulled in too many directions.In this episode, we talk about why worry isn't a mindset problem — it's a divided-heart problem — and how to stop carrying weight you were never meant to hold.This isn't about trying harder or thinking better.It's about reuniting your inner world and coming back to today.The Hebrew meaning of worry — and why it feels so heavyWhy telling yourself “don't worry” rarely worksHow worry is often misplaced responsibilityThe difference between control and rhythmSimple, practical ways to calm your nervous system and refocus your heartHow faith brings peace without rushing answersShrinking time back to todayTransferring what isn't yours to carryRegulating the body to calm the mindNaming the real fear underneath worryUsing movement to interrupt mental spiralsReturning to the idea of “enough grace for today”If you've been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like your mind is living in the future — this episode is an invitation to put the weight down.If this episode resonated and you want a place to actually practice this kind of clarity and rhythm, I want to invite you into The Breakthrough — my Skool community.It's a space focused on:breaking patternsrebuilding trust with yourselfstrengthening your faith, body, and identityand learning how to live from wholeness, not pressureNo hype.

What do you do when giving is up… but you're still living week to week?That's the exact tension we unpack in this week's Fly on the Wall Podcast. In this live coaching conversation, I sit down with my good friend Pastor Aaron—who's experiencing rapid growth and incredible generosity in his church… but is also feeling financial pressure he didn't expect.And here's the twist: the money is coming in. It's just not landing where it needs to land.In Episode 198, we talk about how pastors can lead their church into financial health without sounding like, “You're doing this wrong,” or communicating, “All we want is your money.”More importantly—we talk about how to build systems that prevent these problems from happening in the first place.In this episode, we cover:Why “the battle is won or lost in the resources”How project-based giving can accidentally replace tithing (even in generous churches)How to redirect giving without creating mistrust or guiltWhy every church needs a Generosity Calendar (and what it actually looks like)The power of “one bucket giving” (missions / local / national / global) and why it worksHow to “know the state of your flock” and break down giving tiers for better discipleshipWhy momentum hides weakness—and how to get ahead of the leadership lidDeveloping leaders with a system (not intuition), so your growth doesn't outpace your structureThis is a practical, honest episode for pastors leading fast-growing churches—and it will absolutely help you think strategically about how to fuel vision without living in financial anxiety.
What if the life you imagine—the freedom, the peace, the version of you that feels aligned and fulfilled—doesn't require extraordinary talent, massive motivation, or perfect discipline?In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner Clark breaks down a powerful truth most people overlook: real transformation comes from being consistently average.We tend to overestimate what we can do in a single day and underestimate what consistent, simple effort can do over time. Whether you're working toward better health, stronger relationships, personal growth, or long-term success, the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't closed by intensity—it's closed by consistency.This episode is a reminder that you don't need to be special to change your life. You just need to keep showing up.Why consistency matters more than motivation or talentWhat “consistently average” really means—and why it worksHow small, daily actions compound into massive life changeWhy quitting is the biggest obstacle holding most people backHow to rest and reset without giving up on yourselfThe importance of celebrating small wins instead of ignoring themHow routines and habits turn discipline into identitySimple mindset shifts that help you push through doubt, fear, and resistanceHow one second of strength can change the direction of your day—and your lifeYou don't have to run up the mountain.You don't have to take huge steps.You just have to take the next step—and then another.The future version of you is already waiting. Every day you choose to show up, even at 40%, you're moving closer. Being consistently average isn't settling—it's the fastest path to becoming who you're meant to be.Share it with someone who needs encouragement todayLeave a rating or review to help this message reach more peopleReflect on one small action you can take today—and commit to itRemember: if you choose to show up for your life, life will show up for you.Go find your one second of strength… and be happy.
“Your first property isn't meant to make you rich.”Should your first property investment be small and simple, or big and bold?In this episode, Becky and Ruth break down one of the most common questions we get from beginners. Do you start with a straightforward buy-to-let, or go straight into something bigger like HMOs, developments, or commercial conversions?We talk honestly about fear, ego, timing, life stage, and why there is no single “best” strategy. Just the one that fits your life right now.This is not about hype or shortcuts. It is about staying in the game long enough to build real wealth, without burning yourself out or boxing yourself in.Our biggest takeaway. Your first property is not meant to make you rich. It is meant to make you capable.Key Talking PointsWhy copying online investors rarely worksHow market cycles and interest rates affect strategy choiceTime vs money vs energy, which one really mattersWhy mistakes feel more expensive later onThe danger of skipping steps too earlySeparating ego from long-term decision makingWhy calm decisions usually beat flashy onesChapters00:00 – Welcome + why this question matters Why “start small vs think big” comes up for almost every new investor.02:00 – The real fears behind first investments Renting, first-time buyers, overthinking, and waiting for the “perfect” deal.05:00 – Starting small explained properly Buy-to-lets, house hacking, small HMOs, and why foundations matter.10:30 – Life stage changes everything Your 20s vs 30s vs later life, energy, time, capital, and priorities.15:20 – The pros and cons of going bigger early Bigger numbers on paper, but bigger pressure, risk, and consequences.32:00 – The core lesson most people miss Your first property's job is learning, not perfection or speed.Key Talking PointsWhy copying online investors rarely worksHow market cycles and interest rates affect strategy choiceTime vs money vs energy, which one really mattersWhy mistakes feel more expensive later onThe danger of skipping steps too earlySeparating ego from long-term decision makingWhy calm decisions usually beat flashy onesKey Phrases and KeywordsProperty investing for beginners, start small property investing, buy-to-let vs HMO, first property investment, BRRR strategy explained, property strategy by life stage, FIRE property investing, house hacking UK, scaling property portfolios, avoiding shiny penny strategies, property decision making, long-term wealth buildingIf this episode resonated, we would love to hear what reverse retirement looks like for you.

What if the real way entrepreneurs sabotage their businesses isn't when things aren't working — but when they finally are?In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson breaks down a pattern she sees over and over again in online business: abandoning the very foundations that create stability once momentum starts to build.As sales become steadier and systems begin to work, many entrepreneurs get restless, bored, or convinced something must be wrong because it feels “too easy.” The result? They burn it down, rewrite offers, rebuild funnels, and start from scratch — again.Vickie calls this out for what it really is: not failure, not laziness, not lack of alignment — but nervous system protection mixed with unrealistic expectations about ease, excitement, and sustainability in online business.This episode is a grounded, honest conversation about building the skeleton of your business — the unsexy systems that keep working even when motivation dips, creativity wanes, or your emotional wave is low.If you're in the in-between phase — where things are working but not explosively yet — this episode will help you stay the course instead of sabotaging what you've worked so hard to build.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why entrepreneurs often sabotage momentum after success startsWhat Vickie means by the “skeleton” or “spine” of a sustainable businessThe difference between ease and easy when it comes to making money onlineWhy low-ticket offers, email sequences, and follow-up matter more than launchesHow Manifesting Generators often chase novelty and burn down working systemsWhy boredom, restlessness, or itchiness can be signs your business is stabilizingThe danger of rebuilding offers instead of driving traffic to what already worksHow consistency, repetition, and time actually create sustainable incomeWhy “passive income” is a misleading idea — and what steady income really requiresHow to keep growing your business without breaking your lifeKey Takeaway:When your business starts to feel steady instead of exciting, that doesn't mean something is wrong — it means something is finally working. Sustainable businesses aren't built on adrenaline. They're built on foundations that keep running even when the novelty wears off.Don't burn down the structure that's holding you just because you're bored.Links and Resources:Join Designed to Profit — Vickie's live community for entrepreneurs building sustainable businesses without burnout https://www.vickiedickson.com/designed-to-profitConnect with Vickie on Instagram: @vickie.dickson

Ever felt like you were doing everything "wrong" compared to everyone around you...like, thinking back to college, why did studying take you five environment changes and an all-nighter when your roommate just sat there and did it? If so, then this one's for you!Jesse Sanchez, President of the Neurodiversity Alliance, joins hosts Isabelle Richards and David Kessler to talk about his journey from "wait, am I broken?" confusion in college to leading a national movement that's literally changing (and saving) lives through peer mentorship and community. And yes, we have the data to back that up.Jesse gets incredibly real about what it was like to need accommodations for years without anyone explaining why, and how finding other neurodivergent people who just got it completely transformed the way he saw himself. They also get into what it actually looks like to unmask and take care of yourself in professional settings—like when Jesse collapsed on a couch between high-stakes donor meetings at the Neurodiversity Leadership Summit with Isabelle and David there. It was beautiful:) And why that kind of authentic nervous system regulation isn't weakness—it's literally the accommodation your body needs.Here's what's coming your way:Jesse's origin story with the Neurodiversity Alliance (formerly Eye to Eye) and why peer mentorship is so powerfulThe actual published research showing how mentorship protects neurodivergent middle schoolers from depression and boosts self-esteem (statistically significant, baby!)Why lying down with your feet up is one of the best nervous system hacks—and the full parasympathetic nerd-out on why it worksHow finding your people can fundamentally shift your identity from "I'm broken" to "I'm just wired different—and that's actually amazing"Go to TheNDAlliance.org to explore student chapters, scholarships, paid internships, and leadership opportunities for neurodivergent students across the U.S.-------Wait—What's That? Here are some of the terms mentioned in this episode explained:Neurodiversity Alliance (formerly Eye to Eye): A national student-led organization creating clubs on middle school, high school, and college campuses where neurodivergent students mentor younger students, build community, and flex their leadership skills.Neurodiversity Leadership Summit: An annual gathering where neurodivergent students, leaders, and advocates come together to learn, connect, and celebrate neurodiversity. This is where Jesse melted on the couch and we all fell a little more in love with authentic self-care.Parasympathetic Nervous System (Rest and Digest): The part of your nervous system that helps you calm down and recover after being activated. Isabelle breaks down how lying with your feet up literally forces blood back to your internal organs and tells your body "hey, no tiger here!"Fight, Flight, or Freeze: Your body's automatic stress response that sends blood to your extremities so you can run or fight. When you're chronically activated (hello, masking all day), you need help switching back to rest mode.Vagus Nerve: A major nerve running from your brain to your gut that plays a huge role in calming your nervous system. Certain positions (like lying down) stimulate it and help you regulate. Science is cool.Disability Accommodations: Adjustments like extra time, quiet spaces, or flexible deadlines that level the playing field. Jesse talks about how reframing these from "crutch" to "right" was life-changing.Positive Identity Development: A core focus of the Neurodiversity Alliance's work—helping students integrate their neurodivergence into their identity in a way that feels empowering, not shameful.Statistical Significance: Research-speak for "this didn't happen by accident." Jesse shares data showing mentored students had significantly lower depression and higher self-esteem compared to non-mentored students. The protective effect against depression? Huge.-------

Attraction doesn't die because of time.It dies because of complacency.In this episode, we talk about the uncomfortable reality many men avoid: how comfort, routine, and a lack of self-leadership quietly erode sexual desire in long-term relationships.This isn't about shaming men or blaming partners.It's about understanding how vitality, effort, and self-respect directly affect attraction — and why desire can't survive when men stop engaging with their own lives.We'll explore:Why “letting yourself go” is more energetic than physicalHow comfort kills polarity and erotic tensionWhy trying “for her” backfires — and what actually worksHow sexual confidence is built through self-respect, not performanceIf your relationship feels stable but disconnected…If sex feels pressured, rare, or obligatory…If you sense you've lost your edge — and want it back…This episode will challenge you, ground you, and call you forward.Not to be perfect.But to be present.Alive.And intentional again.Ready to improve your mast*rbation habits and have better sex with your woman?

Hey babe — this episode is a must-listen as we start out the year. We're talking about why so many of us avoid reflecting on our past year… and how we can finally do it without spiraling into shame, guilt, or self-judgment.We break down why reflection feels so loaded (especially for women), and how to flip the script so we can actually get excited about the things that didn't go the way we planned. Instead of using our past as evidence that something is “wrong” with us, we show you how to treat it like clean data — information that helps us move forward faster.This conversation is raw, funny, and incredibly practical. We talk about using your photo album and calendar as simple reflection tools, and we share our biggest lessons from the year, around movement, friendship, intuition, rest, boundaries, and slowing down.You'll hear us talk about:Why reflection brings up so much shame (and how we stop making it mean something about us)How we learn to get excited about failures instead of beating ourselves upWhy collecting data is the fastest way to create real changeSimple ways we reflect using our calendar and photo rollWhy movement, strength training, and rest completely change our mindsetWhy scheduling fun and connection isn't optional — it's a needHow insourcing (trusting ourselves first) changed everythingWhy slowing down and breaking up with hustle actually worksHow intentional time with our kids doesn't “just happen”, it has to be plannedIf you've been avoiding looking back because you're scared of what you'll find, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently. We think you'll be surprised by how much there is to celebrate...and how powerful it feels to learn instead of judge.Next up, we'll be diving into how we're planning 2026 — but reflection is the foundation. Don't skip this part.Let us know if you're reflecting on 2025 and what lessons stood out for you. Happy New Year, babe.
Send us a textNew Year's resolutions promise change, but for most of us, they fade fast. In this episode of Midweek Motivation, Jess shares a faith-centered alternative she's practiced for nearly a decade: choosing a Word of the Year.Instead of striving harder or piling on goals, this episode invites you to slow down, reflect, and step into the year ahead holding God's hand. Jess walks through a clear, practical process for reflecting on the past year, looking ahead with faith, and discerning what God may be inviting you to focus on next.This conversation is both deeply spiritual and highly practical, offering a simple framework that can shape your decisions, growth, and faith throughout the entire year.If you're tired of resolutions that don't stick and ready for a more intentional, God-led way forward, this episode is for you.DiscoverWhy New Year's resolutions often fail to create lasting changeWhat a “Word of the Year” is and why it worksHow worship and prayer bring clarity and alignmentHow to reflect on the past year with honesty and purposeQuestions to help discern God's direction for the year aheadWhy focus and alignment matter more than task listsReflectionGod isn't asking us to sprint into the future on our own strength. He invites us to walk with Him, step by step. When we pause, reflect, and align our plans with His leading, transformation often follows in ways we didn't expect.Key TakeawaysAlignment with God comes before planningReflection reveals growth, lessons, and God's faithfulnessA single, prayerfully chosen focus can shape an entire yearGrowth is sustained through surrender, not strivingGod is already at work in the season aheadQuestion for YouIf God were inviting you to focus on one thing this year, what might that be?Calls to ActionSubscribe so you don't miss future episodesShare this episode with someone preparing for a new seasonJoin us for a service at Westside Community ChurchFind out more at westsidecommunitychurch.com

Send us a textIn this reflective, end-of-year solo episode of The Sober Butterfly Podcast, host Nadine Mulvina invites listeners into the quiet, liminal space between Christmas and New Year's to explore quantum physics, manifestation, and intentional identity shifts for 2026.Recorded the day after Christmas, this episode slows things down and reframes manifestation through a grounded, logical lens: connecting quantum physics, nervous system regulation, sobriety, visualization, and embodiment. Nadine explains why manifestation isn't about asking or wishing, but about becoming the version of yourself who already lives the life you want.Listeners will learn how sobriety sharpens your energetic signal, why most people are “manifesting wrong,” and how to align with the timeline where your dream life already exists. Nadine also shares a 6-step framework for creating a powerful 2026 vision board—one rooted in identity, habits, regulation, and daily embodiment rather than aesthetics or pressure.This episode is perfect for anyone who is sober, sober-curious, or intentionally designing their next chapter with clarity, self-trust, and purpose.
Christmas marks the moment when the kindness and love of God appeared in history—but what happens after the lights come down and the season passes?In this episode, we journey through Titus 3, where Paul reminds the church that salvation is rooted not in righteous works, but in mercy, renewal, and the work of the Holy Spirit. From public conduct to private humility, this chapter shows us what it looks like to live as people shaped by grace in a watching world.This episode explores:Why remembering who we were produces humility todayHow the incarnation reshapes our public witnessWhy grace saves us from works-based righteousness—and for good worksHow the gospel forms communities marked by peace, unity, and fruitfulnessWith reflections inspired by N.T. Wright, Tim Keller, and the early church, this is a call to live out the implications of Christmas—not just during the season, but every day after.
What does it really mean to be yourself at work without hiding, performing, or shrinking to fit expectations? In this Finding Brave conversation, we explore why authentic presence is not a soft skill or a personal indulgence, but a powerful leadership practice that builds trust, connection, and impact in today's fast-moving, emotionally complex workplaces. Today's inspiring guest is Claude Silver, the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, where she partners with CEO Gary Vaynerchuk to shape culture and leadership at scale. A sought-after speaker and the author of Be Yourself at Work: The Groundbreaking Power of Showing Up, Standing Out, and Leading from the Heart, Claude brings a deeply human lens to leadership that is grounded in emotional intelligence, courage, and self-awareness. Her work challenges the outdated belief that professionalism requires emotional distance or self-erasure. In this wide-ranging and deeply personal discussion, Claude shares formative stories from her own life that shaped her understanding of authentic presence. Together, Kathy and Claude unpack what authenticity looks like in real moments at work, from navigating difficult conversations to noticing the inner "song" that shapes how we show up. Claude breaks down her three emotional pillars, namely, emotional optimism, emotional bravery, and emotional efficiency, and explains how emotions can guide more grounded and courageous leadership. The episode also explores why leading with heart matters more than ever in an AI-driven, always-on world, and how taking up space, asking for what you need, and speaking honestly can transform both individual careers and workplace cultures. Listen in and consider what might shift if you gave yourself permission today to be fully seen and fully heard at work! Key Highlights From This Episode: Introducing Claude Silver and what's missing from how we talk about authenticity. [00:59] Why being authentic is a privilege and the power of knowing yourself. [06:40] How early experiences with dyslexia shaped Claude's self-image and personal growth. [10:18] A pivotal Outward Bound moment that revealed the power of changing the "song" in your head.

Paul do Campo explains why real estate investors lose deals in follow-up, how value-based messaging works, and why human connection beats automation alone.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Paul do Campo, founder of REI Omni Drip, to break down one of the most overlooked profit centers in real estate investing: follow-up.Paul explains why most investors overspend on lead generation while leaving massive money trapped inside their CRM.

Send us a textMost of us don't realize how deeply grief can reshape our identity. When someone we love dies by suicide, we often unconsciously believe that staying broken honors them—that abandoning our joy, our hobbies, our future is some kind of loyalty. But here's the hard truth: that's not honoring them. That's joining them in death.In this raw and unflinching episode, therapist and suicide loss survivor Alison Lager pulls back the curtain on the invisible second death—the one that happens to survivors. Drawing from her own devastating experience losing her husband to suicide, neuroscience, spiritual wisdom, and years of clinical practice, Alison shares the actionable blueprint she used to refuse suicide a second victim.You'll discover:Why "secondary loss" happens—and how your abandoned dreams become collateral damage to griefThe dangerous comfort of the "victim" identity—and why you have to eventually let it go to surviveThe "boardwalk principle": How to reclaim the places and activities you loved without betraying your loved oneWhy staying in grief is a form of spiritual death—and how to recognize when you're joining the same darkness that took themThe science of "gaining more than you lost"—the neuroscience behind why this actually worksHow to ride waves of grief instead of drowning in one long emotional responseThe "heavier weights" metaphor: Why your pain can become your greatest strengthPractical strategies for processing rage, anger, and the emotions grief tries to hideWhy living fully is the ultimate honor to those we've lost—not a betrayalThis episode is for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide, anyone supporting a widow or survivor, and anyone who's ever wondered if there's a way out of the darkness. If you've felt like staying sad is loyalty, or believed that you can never be happy again—this conversation will change everything.Because here's what Alison knows: Suicide didn't just take their life. It's trying to take yours too. And you have the power to say no.
Private credit has become one of the most significant shifts in modern finance—quietly but rapidly reshaping how private companies access capital. Over the last decade, assets under management in the space have surged from roughly $500 billion to about $2 trillion, fueled by post-crisis regulation, a growing appetite for yield, and the rise of private equity. With headlines increasingly focused on “shadow banking,” retail access, and the long-term implications of private lenders replacing banks, the conversation around private credit has never been more timely.So, the core question is this: How did private credit grow so quickly, why does it matter now, and what does its rise mean for investors, lenders, and the broader financial system?In the third episode of our mini-series on the alternative asset market, Tuesdays with Morrisey host Adam Morrisey speaks with AB Private Credit Investors‘ President Brent Humphries and Managing Director Marc Cooper. As leaders within AllianceBernstein's $800 billion global investment platform, they break down what private credit is, why it has accelerated so dramatically, and how the industry is evolving as it enters its next phase of growth.Top TakeawaysPrivate credit has quietly become one of the biggest shifts in modern finance. It is now the primary way many private companies access capital, replacing what used to be a market run by the traditional banking system.The rise of private credit was largely created by regulation. After the financial crisis, new rules made it harder for banks to hold certain loans, and private lenders stepped in with faster, more flexible financing that met the needs of private equity and middle-market companies.Investors have been drawn to it because of its combination of yield, downside protection, and floating rates. It has delivered strong, steady returns without taking on other risks tied to interest rates, foreign currency, or market volatility.The big question now is where the risk sits. As more lending moves outside the regulated banking system, pension funds, insurance companies, and individuals hold a growing share of the credit exposure.Its next phase will include more retail access, more participation from insurers, and continued specialization among lenders. At the same time, AI is beginning to reshape underwriting, research, and operations, making investment teams faster and more efficient.Topics CoveredWhat “private credit” means and how direct lending worksHow bank regulation after 2008 shifted lending outside the traditional systemThe role of the unitranche structure in simplifying deal executionWhy private credit returns have attracted pensions, institutions, and high-net-worth investorsHow to evaluate private credit fund managers (track record, team retention, sector edge, platform model)Perceived risks and the “shadow banking” debateThe role of insurance capital and the rise of investment-grade private creditHow AI is influencing underwriting, research, and software-sector lendingFuture outlook for the next 5–10 years in private creditBrent Humphries is the President and a founding member of AB Private Credit Investors, where he oversees investment strategy, originations, underwriting, portfolio management, and investor relations for the firm's middle-market direct lending platform.

Why is English always changing—and why does that change so often make us uneasy? In this fascinating conversation, we're joined by linguist, author, and University of Michigan Dean Professor Anne Curzan to explore how English evolves, who influences that change, and what our reactions to new words and usages reveal about culture, identity, and power.Anne shares insights from her latest book Says Who? A Kinder, Funner Usage Guide for Everyone Who Cares About Words, and unpacks everything from the rise of pronouns and slang to the hidden rules behind texting, emojis, and intensifiers like “super.” Along the way, Anne explains why dictionaries don't tell us how to use language—they reflect how we already use it.Whether you're a dedicated word-lover, a reformed “grammando,” or simply curious about how English works, this episode offers a lively, accessible look at the stories behind the way we speak today.In This EpisodeWhy language change can feel unsettling—and why it shouldn'tThe origins of words like grammando and wordieAmericanisms in the UK and Britishisms making their way into the USWhy prescriptive grammar rules (like not ending sentences with prepositions) often don't reflect how English actually worksHow kids naturally acquire grammar—and what their “mistakes” teach usWhat dictionaries really do (and don't do)How texting, punctuation, and emojis function as a new kind of tone and gestureThe evolution of singular they—and why it's not a modern inventionWhy language is more like fashion than we thinkHow technological change and global contact influence the pace of language evolutionAbout Anne CurzanProfessor Anne Curzan is the Geneva Smitherman Collegiate Professor of English, Linguistics, and Education at the University of Michigan, where she also served as the dean of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts from 2019 - 2024.

Send us a textEpisode 200 - Why Gratitude Changes Everything: Abundance, Joy, and Healing in Family Life In today's episode of the Finding Joy Series, Tina dives deep into one of the most powerful emotional tools available to us—gratitude. This isn't the shallow “write three things” gratitude list you've heard a thousand times. Instead, Tina teaches you how gratitude helps regulate your nervous system, rewires your brain's negativity bias, and creates real emotional safety in your body.Drawing from the Eight Pillars of Joy (Dalai Lama & Desmond Tutu), Tina explains why gratitude is a pillar of the heart, how your body stores emotional memory, and why without body-based learning, real change doesn't stick.You'll learn:Why your brain automatically focuses on the negativeHow body learning worksHow scarcity and “never enough” thinking becomes an energy centerWhy you struggle to receive compliments or gratitudeHow gratitude helps you shift your focus from lack to abundanceHow to heal scarcity and regulate your nervous system using gratitudeEpisode TakeawaysGratitude helps you override the brain's built-in negativity bias.Receiving gratitude is an essential relational skill—not a bonus.True change requires integrating mind + body, not relying on thought alone.Consistent practice shifts your identity, confidence, and capacity for connection.This Week's ChallengeEvery day, write down three things you're grateful for—and don't repeat any items all week. Then sit quietly for five minutes and feel gratitude in your body.

Send us a textEpisode 199: Two Communication Habits That Hurt Your Family Relationships Are your efforts to connect actually driving disconnection? In this episode of the Coaching Your Family Relationships Podcast, Tina Gosney, family conflict coach and family life educator, unpacks two common communication habits that silently sabotage family trust and closeness—Unbridled Self-Expression and Punishment and Retaliation. These habits often come from a place of deep hurt or high expectations, but they rarely get you the connection you want. Instead, they keep you stuck in frustration, resentment, and miscommunication. You'll learn: Why “speaking your truth” might be crossing a boundaryThe emotional cost of spilling your feelings without filterHow our childhood home dynamics still shape how we show up in adult relationshipsWhat passive-aggressive behavior really communicates—and why it never worksHow to stop letting your feelings control your words and actionsA better way to respond when you feel hurt or disappointed by a family memberThis episode is especially helpful if you've ever thought: “I don't know how to talk to them anymore”“Everything I say gets taken the wrong way”“Why do I always end up being the bad guy?”You don't need to yell, shut down, or “teach them a lesson” to be heard. There is another way—and it starts with understanding what's not working.Download the Free Guide: “The 3-Step Solution to Keeping Your Cool Around Family Holiday Drama” Holidays can stir up old patterns and emotions—this guide will help you stay grounded and respond with grace.Grab your copy here: DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE Ready to learn how to manage your emotional reactions?

"Does the Bible contradict itself on justification? Paul says in Galatians 2:16 that we are justified by faith and not by works. But James 2:24 says that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. How are we to understand this apparent tension?In this sermon, we walk carefully through both passages to show that Scripture speaks with one clear voice. Paul is teaching how a sinner is declared righteous before God—through the righteousness of Christ received by faith alone. James is addressing the nature of true, saving faith—faith that always produces good works.Together, these truths show us:Why Paul rebuked Peter for walking contrary to justification by faith aloneHow James distinguishes between dead faith and living faithWhy true faith always leads to sanctification and good worksHow works function as the evidence of justification, not the ground of itWhy both Paul and James ultimately proclaim the same gospelThe Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox objections often claim that the Bible is unclear on justification and requires church tradition to interpret. But Paul insists his words are clear and binding—and to distort them is to lose the gospel itself.Brothers and sisters, justification by faith alone is not just a Reformation slogan. It is the good news of the Bible: Christ alone is our righteousness, received by faith alone, a faith that is never alone.#JustificationByFaith #FaithAlone #Galatians #James2 #ReformedTheology #ChristAlone #GraceAlone #SolaFide #GospelTruth #BiblicalPreaching"
