Check out Emotional Horsemanship with Lockie PhillipsThis conversation isn't about techniques or quick fixes. It's about integrity, tradesmanship, doing the work to become an excellent horse person. We sit down with Lockie Phillips, who shares that Emotional Horsemanship was never meant to be a brand. It's a way to find the people who are ready to be honest with themselves and do the work with their horses.Together, we talk about what happens when horse people hit a pivot point. When what used to feel normal no longer does. When questions and thoughts stop being about what you do to the horse, and start being about who you have to become for the horse.We cover:What “emotional horsemanship” actually means in practiceThe difference between transitional people and those who are off the fenceHow emotion, learning, memory, and movement are linkedThe quiet, normalized violence still present in the horse worldIf you've been questioning the industry.If you've felt out of place.If you're craving honesty over optics.This episode is for you.

We've been taught that business success comes from logic, prediction, and data-driven strategy. But what happens when uncertainty makes all of that break down?In this episode of The Value Creators Podcast, Hunter Hastings speaks with Angus Fletcher, author of Primal Intelligence, about why entrepreneurs don't succeed by predicting the future — but by creating it.Angus Fletcher is uniquely qualified to draw on both neuroscience and entrepreneurial theory, and to add perspective from a field he himself pioneered, story science. He runs a special research lab at Ohio State University called Project Narrative, and its insights have been applied in US Army Special Forces, NASA, Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Angus explains how the human brain is designed for uncertainty, not optimization, and why intuition, imagination, emotion, and judgment are not flaws that interfere with rationality, but essential decision-making systems for entrepreneurial action.Key Insights:Why logic and prediction fail in conditions of true uncertaintyHow primal intelligence helps entrepreneurs act when the future is unknowableWhy storytelling, not data, is the brain's primary way of making sense of the worldIf you want to rethink intelligence, leadership, and entrepreneurship for a world that can't be predicted, this conversation offers a powerful new lens.Resources:➡️ Learn What They Didn't Teach You In Business School: The Value Creators Online Business CourseLearn more about Angus FletcherConnect with Angus Fletcher on LinkedInGet the book "Primal Intelligence.

In this episode, I sit down with Bob Lambert, who draws on decades of real operating experience building iconic consumer brands like Nerds to explain why sustainable growth doesn't come from clever campaigns or chasing trends. It comes from clarity, curiosity, trust, and a deep understanding of how people think, feel, and make decisions. He breaks down why so many founders struggle to stand out despite having more technology, data, and channels than ever, and how unclear messaging quietly limits revenue and momentum.Our conversation shifts beyond marketing and into leadership and culture. Bob explains how trust erodes inside teams, why leaders lose effectiveness when they stop asking questions, and how creativity suffers when organizations prioritize speed and scale over understanding. As AI and automation accelerate, he makes the case that human connection, judgment, and empathy are becoming more valuable, not less, and that founders who ignore this will fall behind no matter how advanced their tools are.You'll learn:✅ Why most founders misunderstand what actually makes brands resonate✅ How creativity, curiosity, and observation drive durable growth✅ Why unclear messaging quietly kills differentiation and trust✅ How leadership and brand failures often stem from the same root problems✅ What decades of brand-building still teach founders in an AI-driven worldIf you're a founder or entrepreneur trying to build something that compounds over time, communicates more clearly, and creates products and brands people actually care about, this episode offers a hard-earned perspective you won't get from trend-driven advice.Connect with Bob LambertGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertjlambert/Guest Website: https://www.human2humanllc.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

In the few minutes I waited to see the ball drop on New Year's Eve, I saw at least three different weight loss ads or commercials for a gym--something you couldn't avoid given that Planet Fitness was a major sponsor for the NYE event on ABC. During this time of year, you will see and hear all the ways you can change and achieve goals and resolutions. Having goals and making healthy changes is a good thing, but you can only achieve them when you are ready, not when the calendar mandates. It's also important to not take on too much at once or you will likely feel overwhelmed.Behavior change is the main focus of this week's conversation with my guest Lisa Rigau of Healthy Lifestyle Management, who is also a podcast sponsor for Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl. Lisa is a registered nurse, nutrition counselor, and community educator of health, wellness, mindfulness, and nutrition. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Delaware. Lisa received her Master's degree from Marywood University in Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science. And, she is a certified teacher of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction through Brown University's School of Professional Studies & The Mindfulness Center at the School of Public Health.Lisa offers us guidance on how to be successful with behavior changes and reminds us that consistency is key. She says small moments many times make change. And she reminds us that when we fall off the rails--which will happen--we can always begin again.

Most firm owners hear the noise about AI and panic. They're told their jobs are disappearing and the industry is on borrowed time. But the reality is simpler: AI isn't replacing accountants, it's reshaping how firms think, make decisions, and deliver value.In this episode, Brenton Ward and Thomas Phabmixay break down what AI actually does in a firm, why it's more “translation engine” than threat, and how it can scale judgement, not just automate tasks. Thomas shares how he uses AI inside his own practice to analyse work, improve communication, and speed up decision-making and why the biggest wins come when AI is woven into workflows so the team barely notices it's there.You'll learn:✅ Why “AI will replace accountants” is a myth that's been repeated for decades✅ How AI turns financial and client data into instant insight✅ Where AI creates real leverage in a firm's workflow✅ Practical ways firms can use AI today without building custom tools✅ Why critical thinking matters more than ever in an AI-enabled worldIf you've been overwhelmed by the hype or unsure where to start, this conversation gives you a grounded view of how AI can strengthen your firm, not threaten it.________________ PS: Whenever you're ready… here are the fastest 4 ways we can help you fix and grow your accounting firm: 1.

Christians and alcohol. Few topics are more common in our culture and more ignored in the pulpit. In this sermon, Pastor Harold Warner takes Ephesians 5 head on and asks a blunt question: Are you living under the influence of alcohol, or under the influence of the Holy Spirit?Preached in a season of “holiday cheer,” this message exposes the cultural propaganda around drinking, walks through the Bible's real portrait of alcohol, and presses into the thing that actually matters: your testimony, your calling, and being filled with the Spirit.Scriptures Mentioned: • Ephesians 5:15–21 • Galatians 5:16–21 • 1 Peter 4:1–5 • Proverbs 20:1, Proverbs 23:29–35 • Romans 13:13–14 • Romans 12:1–2In this message you will hear about: • “Sipping saints” and why the line is never as clean as people pretend • The war between flesh and Spirit, and what alcohol is really feeding • Why the Bible's “ad” for drinking looks nothing like Madison Avenue • Noah, Lot, Nabal, Belshazzar, and the wreckage that follows drunkenness • How Christian liberty can become a stumbling block for weaker believers • Why a Spirit filled life is not optional if you want to impact people • The power of a clear cut, no nonsense testimony in a foggy worldIf you are wrestling with the “gray areas,” or if you have quietly opened the door to “just a little” alcohol, this sermon will not stroke your conscience. It will confront it, and then point you to something far better: a life filled with the Holy Spirit.Subscribe for more classic sermons that challenge easy Christianity and call men and women to radical discipleship, church planting, and world evangelism.Chapters00:00 Welcome, intro, and sermon setup00:31 Text in Ephesians and direction of the message00:49 Turning 60, family reunion, and midnight karaoke exit02:08 “Sinners do what sinners do” and Christian witness03:20 America's drinking problem and “sipping saints”05:03 Holiday Cheer: Living under the influence07:23 “You've wasted enough of your past life”09:12 Spirits vs the Holy Spirit: where your stimulus comes from11:34 The war between flesh and Spirit15:22 College culture, deception, and open doors to the enemy19:47 The Bible's beer commercial: Proverbs 2323:53 Testimony, liberty, and not stumbling weaker believers30:34 Last days warnings and the need for clarity37:58 New life, renewed mind, and breaking from the old life44:20 “Is this bud for you?” and the call to be filled with the SpiritShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.1 Peter 2:4-5God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.John PiperWhat the Church is NOTWhat the Church isThe Church is NOT:Just a BuildingAnd let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.Hebrews 10:24-2516 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.Psalm 73:16-17The Psalmist did not merely go to the building, he went to meet with God.Martyn Lloyd JonesWhat a wonderful place God's house is. Often you will find deliverance by merely coming into it… People who neglect attendance at the house of God are not only being unscriptural—let me put it bluntly—they are fools.Martyn Lloyd JonesA SupplementFor MeA seeker-sensitive church (or seeker-church) is a model of ministry and worship designed to be especially accessible, welcoming, and understandable to unchurched or spiritually curious people (“seekers”). The goal is to remove barriers that might make non-Christians feel out of place and to present the gospel in a culturally relevant way.Stop looking for the perfect church. It does not exist. Even if it did exist, the moment you or I joined it, it would no longer be perfect.Nicky GumbleAn organization of minimal impactPETER'S CRUCIFIXION*DIETRICH BONHOEFFER*The Church is:Christ's BodyFor as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.Romans 12:4-5The Church is not a religious community of worshippers of Christ but is Christ himself who has taken form among people.Dietrich BonhoefferBut Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”Acts 9:1-4InheritedSo then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,Ephesians 2:19-20For Jesus21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by[e] the Spirit.Ephesians 2:21-2225 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.Ephesians 5:25-27The Hope of the WorldIf the Church is central to God's purpose, as seen in both history and the gospel, then it must surely also be central to our lives.John Stott

I have been reading his work for a number of years and find it both winsome and wise. It was delight to have the opportunity to speak to him about a question he thinks we should be asking ourselves.In this conversation we explore the question of what humans should still do for themselves even when technology can do it better or more efficiently.

In this special deep-dive episode, we explore the extraordinary story of Gilbert O'Sullivan, the iconic Irish singer-songwriter who defined an era of melodic, thoughtful 1970s pop. From humble beginnings in Waterford, Ireland, and later Swindon, England, young Raymond O'Sullivan dreamed of creating music that was both emotionally honest and musically timeless. What he achieved went beyond even his wildest dreams.We trace Gilbert's transformation from a quiet, artistic boy into the global pop sensation known for timeless hits like “Alone Again (Naturally),” “Clair,” “Get Down,” and “Nothing Rhymed.” Along the way, he invented a persona all his own—complete with a schoolboy haircut, flat cap, and short pants—that helped him stand out in an industry dominated by glam rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic bands. His look was quirky, but his sound was grounded in elegant piano pop and biting lyricism.He wasn't chasing fads—he was creating his own lane.We'll look at how Gilbert's early influences—from Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domino to the British Invasion bands like The Beatles and The Kinks—shaped his unique sound. You'll hear the story behind his breakout moment, how he almost gave up before finding success, and why “Alone Again (Naturally)” became one of the most impactful and controversial pop ballads of the '70s.We also dig into the often-overlooked second chapter of his career: the legal battles, the fight for artistic control, and his ongoing legacy as a fiercely independent songwriter who continues to tour and release new music decades after his biggest hits.Whether you're a lifelong fan, a 70s music aficionado, or just discovering Gilbert O'Sullivan for the first time, this episode is a heartfelt and eye-opening journey through one of pop music's most compelling careers.

This constant state of fear isolates them from society and keeps them loyal to the organization. But here's the good news—paranoia is learned, and it can be unlearned.Join me, Lady Cee, as we break down:
