Podcasts about world episode

Is there a story you're reluctant to share? The one that still makes you cringe a little, that feels raw and vulnerable? That's probably the exact story you should be telling - not just for your audience, but for yourself. In this episode, I'm joined by Diane Diaz, and we're pulling back the curtain on our own stories - the ones we've hesitated to share. We talk a lot about storytelling in public speaking, thought leadership, and keynotes, but let's be honest: we often default to the safer stories. You know, the ones about career missteps, lessons learned, or professional challenges. But what about the deeply personal stories? The ones that shaped who we are? Diane and I each share a story we've been reluctant to tell - stories tied to our self-worth, identity, and fears. We unpack how these experiences have influenced our careers, our approach to public speaking, and even the way we show up in the world. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the stories that scare you the most are the ones that will connect the deepest with your audience How childhood experiences still shape the way we think about ourselves (and what to do about it) Why leaning into imperfection and vulnerability makes you a more compelling speaker How to balance preparation and spontaneity in your speaking style (Diane and I approach this very differently!) A behind-the-scenes look at our own speaking journeys, including what we've learned from our clients   This episode was filmed in one of the beautiful studios on the campus of Full Sail University, where Diane and I have been teaching business and marketing classes since 2009.

The Democratic National Convention is being held in Chicago this week and many Americans will be re-introduced to V.P. Kamala Harris when she delivers her speech on Thursday night. I have a background in local Democratic politics and have always been a strong supporter of women running for office. Earlier this summer, we held in-person workshops for women who are running in the Central Florida area where we helped them with their public speaking and storytelling. It was a lot of fun and it showed me once again how powerful someone's personal story is! In this episode, I'm joined by two of those women, Jennifer Adams, who's running for U.S. Congress in Florida's District 7, and Sarah Henry, who's running for Florida State House in District 38. We talk about: Why they decided to run for office and the importance of asking women to run What it's like being a female candidate and having a public voice and presence Their stump speeches and how they tailor them based on the audience The surge of support and enthusiasm for V.P. Kamala Harris's campaign for President and what that tells us about the importance of authenticity The lessons they've learned about being themselves vs. trying to be someone they thought they should be What they learned about storytelling, taking up space, and messaging from the workshops we did with then The importance of donating to women candidates (find local women that you can donate to!)     Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/406/  Jennifer Adams for U.S. Congress: https://www.jenniferadamsforcongress.com/ Sarah Henry for Florida State House: https://sarahforfl.com/  Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Attend our 1-day Speaking for Impact in-person workshop in Orlando: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/workshop/  Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  Connect on LinkedIn: Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Jennifer Adams (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferadams111-/ Sarah Henry (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/slouisehenry/ Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 398: Storytelling for Leaders: Crafting Narratives that Inspire and Persuade Episode 390: Impromptu Speaking: How to Prepare and Feel Confident in Any Situation Episode 378: The Power of Women's Voices and Stories to Change the World Episode 191: Women in Politics and the Public Sphere with Rep.

A couple of months ago, I attended an event to honor non-profits. What was really cool was that each non-profit had 2-½ minutes to share their story.  When my guest Theresa Smith-Levin, founder of Central Florida Vocal Arts, shared her story, I was instantly inspired and I knew I had to have her on the podcast. Our conversation is a testament to the power of storytelling, vulnerability, and community in fostering personal and collective growth. Theresa's work with Central Florida Vocal Arts is not just about singing; it's about creating a space where young people can grow into their authentic selves and learn to navigate the world with empathy and confidence.  Whether you're an artist, a public speaker, or someone looking to make a difference in your community, Theresa's insights offer valuable lessons on the transformative power of using your voice.  Join us for this inspiring conversation and discover how you, too, can impact the world through the arts, performance, speaking, and beyond.  Here are some highlights you won't want to miss: Theresa shares her personal journey from finding solace and expression in singing and the arts during her childhood, to pursuing music education and vocal performance, and ultimately founding a nonprofit organization to fill a gap in the performing arts community in Central Florida. Discover the profound impact of the arts on young people, as Theresa explains how singing and performance can serve as powerful tools for emotional processing, developing empathy, and building confidence. Theresa and I delve into the importance of vulnerability, both in the arts and in life, sharing stories of transformation and the courage to use one's voice for advocacy and change. We explore the similarities between performing arts and public speaking, including overcoming fears, the importance of being present, and engaging with your audience to create a meaningful exchange.   Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/386/  Central Florida Vocal Arts: https://www.centralfloridavocalarts.org/  Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  Connect on LinkedIn: Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Theresa Smith-Levin (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresa-smith-levin-7868a725/   Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 378: The Power of Women's Voices and Stories to Change the World Episode 337: Sharing Your Story as a Catalyst for Transformation with Karen Keene

Web Description: Hanukkah means dedication. The Feast of Dedication celebrates the rededication of the Temple and the vessels of Temple worship after they had been defiled. We could relate to Hanukkah as a mere historical event that is outside of ourselves. But I feel that the Lord is moving on our hearts to apply this feast in a deeper way. Let this Hanukkah celebration be about rededicating ourselves as the temple of God and as the instruments that serve Him.     Show Notes: The Feast of Dedication is all about the fact that the implements of worship in the Temple had been used in unholy sacrifices and therefore were unclean. The Jews had to rebuild the altar, rebuild the menorah, and remake the implements that were used for the sacrificial offerings in the Temple. All these things had to be purified, sanctified, and dedicated again to the Lord for the service of worship. We cannot think of Hanukkah as anything less than purifying ourselves and sanctifying our lives back into the service of God.   The Jews back then had to separate themselves from the Gentile worship that had polluted the Temple. It had polluted the city of Jerusalem and it had polluted many people who found themselves living according to a culture that God was not in favor of because it was not sanctified to Him. We also must realize that we are to put away everything surrounding us that is unclean. We do not give ourselves to it. We do not welcome it in our hearts and lives. We want to be welcomed by the Father. We want Him to call us His sons and daughters. We want Him to indwell us and use us in serving Him and ministering to the world.   God has always worked through His people to accomplish His will and His purpose in the earth. And He wants to work through us in this generation. As believers in Christ, we come to this time of Hanukkah and dedicate ourselves back to Him in every area where we have not had the sanctification that we need in our hearts and in our lives. We seek Him to rebuild us, spirit, soul, and body into that temple in which He can dwell and be the instruments that He can use.   Key Verses:   •       John 10:22–24. “The Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; … and Jesus was walking in the temple.” •       Romans 12:1. “Present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, … your spiritual service of worship.” •       1 Corinthians 6:19–20. “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit …: therefore glorify God in your body.” •       1 Corinthians 3:16–17. “The temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.” •       2 Corinthians 6:14–18. “We are the temple of the living God; … ‘DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN.'” •       Ephesians 2:18–22. “You are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household.” •       Jeremiah 31:34. “They will all know Me, … for I will forgive their iniquity.”   Quotes:   •       “I want to be confronted by the Holy Spirit in a way that brings me to a thorough repentance, which brings about a rededication of my life in every way under Him.” •       “Get rid of every agreement in your hearts with the idolatry of the age that we live in and sanctify yourself once again unto God. It is the Feast of Dedication.” •       “We want to see Him glorified in our physical body as well as in our spirit so that everything we say, everything we do is worship and service to God.”   Takeaways:   1.    To rededicate the Temple, they had to sanctify the implements of worship. We also have to sanctify our hands, our mouths, our feet, and our whole bodies to the Lord so that we are purified and fit for the Master's use. They had to rebuild the altar with new stones. And we need to take the new stones of the Word of God and rebuild our lives into what they should be as a sanctuary for His presence. They had to rebuild the menorah. And we should rebuild that which makes us the light to the nations. 2.    This is what Hanukkah is all about for us as believers in Christ. It is a time of rededication, not a rededication of something outward, but instead a rededication of our own hearts and lives: spirit, soul, and body to the Lord. In so doing, we make a place on earth for Him to dwell and become sanctified so that He might use us according to His will. 3.    As Christians we think in terms of the Church. But from the Day of Pentecost until now, the entire purpose of God in pouring out His Spirit on individuals was to make us His dwelling place. The Body of Christ is not about church. It is about being individuals who are the temple of God, cleansed and dedicated so that He may dwell in us.   Resources:   Eight Reasons for Christians to Celebrate Hanukkah – Episode 16 Hanukkah—Do Not Be Conformed to the World – Episode 122

Web Description: Like every year, we can celebrate Hanukkah with joy and light the candles for eight days. But this year on Israel's 75th anniversary, let us see the restoration of the light that Israel is to be to the world. As believers in Christ, we rally around Israel for all that she needs and all that she is to be. We add our strength, our faith, our finances, and all that we can to be a blessing to Israel and to the Jewish people during this time of rededicating our lives to God.   Show Notes: Hanukkah, or the Feast of Dedication, commemorates the time when the Temple and the vessels of the Temple worship were cleansed, sanctified, and rededicated to the worship of the Lord after they had been defiled. The Jews retook the Temple in the Maccabean Revolt, but they had to rebuild and consecrate the sacred things in order to restore the worship and the relationship to God that had been destroyed by those who had overtaken the land. Hanukkah therefore celebrates the rededicating of our lives to God in our service to Him as vessels fit for the Master's use.   This feast has special significance for 2023 because this year Israel is celebrating its 75th anniversary. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of Israel's existence as a state. Number one, it is the fulfillment of God's covenant with His people. But also, as we have seen in recent events, without a Jewish state that houses and protects them, the Jewish people once again face the threat against their very lives. That is why the rededication expressed in Hanukkah is so important for them this year. After 75 years they are seeing much of the values that built the State of Israel being eroded.   Israel was built on the dedication of its people who had only one focus, and that was to form the Jewish state where the Jewish people could survive the obvious determination of the world to see their destruction. But in Israel today, just as in America, we are seeing people forgetting the lessons of history and tearing down the very principles that framed the nation in the first place. Let us believe for a rededication to the sacred values built upon the Word of God that are at the root of Israel and of our connection to them as Christians.   Key Verses:   •       John 10:22–24. “The Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; … and Jesus was walking in the temple.” •       2 Timothy 2:21. “If anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master.”   Quotes:   •       “I believe that we are seeing something interesting happening; and that is that after the passage of a great amount of time, you lose the significance of that which is sacred, that which is holy.” •       “There needs to be a reeducation of the youth of Israel, the youth of America, and the youth of all nations into the Judeo-Christian values that have been the core, that have established these great nations before God.” •       “We need to rededicate, number one, our own hearts to God. We need to rebuild the sacred things within our own hearts and spirits. We need to regenerate the love in our hearts for one another.”   Takeaways:   1.    When the Jews took the Temple in the Maccabean Revolt, they rebuilt the altar; they rebuilt the menorah; they rebuilt most of the sacred implements. All of these things were recreated and rededicated so that they were fit for the service of worship. This is where we get the idea of rededication, which really is what Hanukkah is known for now. 2.    One thing that has always tied America and Israel together is the Judeo-Christian values that have been at the core of our culture and laws. There must be a rededication to these sacred values that are built upon the worship of God, the Word of God, the love of God, and the love of our fellow man. 3.    Not only do we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Israel, but we set a course for the next 75 years of her history. There must be a reeducation of the younger generations into why there is a State of Israel and why it is necessary, not only for the Jewish people, but also for the nations of the world. Those lessons of history must be retaught.   Resources:   Eight Reasons for Christians to Celebrate Hanukkah – Episode 16 Hanukkah—Do Not Be Conformed to the World – Episode 122

When I was in college, Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel" album had just been released and I remember giggling with my friend Camille about the "RONI" song.  We had turned "my heart belongs to tender Roni..." into "My heart, belongs to Macaroni."  and it wasn't too much longer after that when author Gavin Edwards published 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: And Other Misheard Lyrics If you know the book, you also know about the gems like "She's Like Fred Gwynn, in my dreams," and "There's a Bathroom on the Right"  And not too much longer after THAT, there was even a Wayne's World Episode about it on SNL.  But I digress.  Who isn't fascinated with song lyrics?   One thing I miss about albums and CDs is being able to open up the "album jacket" or "album notes" while listening to the songs and read along with the song lyrics.  This is now I know about Lisa Loeb's, "I may not be a quaalude living in speed zone..." from WHEN ALL THE STARS WERE FALLING on the Tails album.  And you can just listen to the episode to learn more about that.   And it was actually something Annie said to me that made me consider this subject as an epiosde for this show, so you can thank her for the next time you email us about one or more of our lists.  Just go to hello@thetopfivepodcast.com. Enjoy the episode!!

The Wyoming Wildlife Task Force is proposing six additional changes to Wyoming hunting laws. As of early summer 2022 they are seeking public input on these changes, any one of which will have a significant impact on the way non-residents and residents will hunt big game in Wyoming in the future. The proposals effect antelope, deer and elk hunting in the state - none of these species were impacted in the first round of changes implemented in 2022 which were covered in Hunt the World Episode 103. Brian and Brad discuss what these possible changes could mean to your hunt strategy and your Wyoming hunt plans. RBO is ready to help with your strategy.  Check out a membership at https://rollingbones.com/ (RollingBones.com)
