Tokyo-based American Gary Bremermann didn't stumble into career clarity—he fought for it across countries, careers, and crises. From hitchhiking North America to building and burning out of his first company, Gary's story is a blueprint for real Gen X reinvention: practical, nonlinear, and painfully honest. In this first of a two-part series, he shares how early travel, entrepreneurial scars, and the brutal experience of misaligned success shaped the recruiter and career coach he is today. For Gen Xers still figuring out their next chapter—or building a life while surviving their own rough drafts—this episode offers both grit and grounded hope.>>The National Geographic Kid“I grew up with every issue ever printed—and a mind wired to explore.”Gary shares how childhood dreams of travel sparked a lifelong hunger for exploration, curiosity, and career experimentation.>>Hitchhiking Lessons You Don't Learn in Business School“I learned how to talk to anyone, anywhere, about anything.”Gary reflects on how crossing the U.S. and Canada on foot and rail taught him real-world communication skills he still uses as a recruiter and coach.>>Dropping Out—Twice“School couldn't hold me—but neither could drifting forever.”He talks about his struggles with traditional education, dropping out, traveling the world, and ultimately rebuilding himself on his own terms.>>Entrepreneurial Burnout: The Hidden Cost of Chasing Money“I was expanding globally—and being crushed by my own business.”Gary shares how chasing financial success without personal alignment almost destroyed him—and why selling his first company saved his life.>>Finding Freedom on Different Terms“Money isn't the goal. Alignment is.”After exiting his business and hiring a life-changing coach, Gary explains how he reframed financial success as a byproduct of purpose, not the point._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Gary Bremermann  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Send me a Text Message!Before Jesus left his team and went back to his Father in heaven, he gave them a cause, a calling, a great commission. Go and make disciples. Haddon Robinson once wrote, "Somewhere I must find a cause that is greater than myself that is worthy of my life." We deperately need to be committed.  Otherwise we have this awful sense that our lives don't count. We want our lives to count, so Christ offersus a cause.   In John 17:18, Jesus said, "In the same way that You gave Me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world."  Just like God sent Jesus on a mission, Jesus is sending us. That's our cause. I call it Grander-Mission Living! Do you have a cause that is worthy of your living and your dying?

Well HELLLLOO Beloved!I trust you're enjoying the SPARK of spring ENERGY! (Prayers to those in these past tornadoes rushing through middle America).You're in the right place if you wish to leave the darker season and chilling temps behind ……as we CHOOSE to move into the next birthing season of life. I've been noticing the depression and lack of ambition and vision in my clients, which brings through THIS TRANSMISSION TODAY. And it's a seriously helpful one.As of recent, Ive had many clients with funerals and laying to rest young adults due to suicide.In FACT: 1 out of 4 young people have contemplated suicide in the last 90 days.While Anti-depressant prescriptions are up 600%.The division and separation, and addiction to technology leaves our soul's dry and empty.When we look at the stages of de-evolutions based on my client interaction of 21 years, I see the process in stages of death to birth.The flow is —revolution, involution, narcissism, isolation, transformation, evolution, and revelation—At the end of this, I'll walk through the revolution. But first, let's start from the top. THE IV DRIP OF DENIAL. Denial grows out of a dysfunctional relationship with emotion. Many of us grew up in environments where emotional bypassing was the norm. We watched our parents swallow their tears, mask sadness with a smile, rationalize or talk their way through feelings, or laugh off pain and discomfort. When parents and teachers asked us, “WHY are you crying?” they unintentionally inhibited our intelligent emotional process and suggested that rationalizing our feelings was more appropriate. For some of us, childhood pain was numbed with sugar and treats, screen time, or other comforts, and many of us continue to do this throughout our lives. Those of us who managed to hold onto our sensitivity were often told we were too sensitive, overreacting, or called drama queens.When children are discouraged from feeling, they grow up to be adults who can't tolerate discomfort of any kind.We all need humor, so I'll just drop my mom and I here for ya. RELATE? That said, when it comes to considering life's not worth living - and HOW YOU ABSOLUTELY have all the power you need, NOW.

This marks the first episode of our miniseries for Finding Your Ikigai, and we are really excited to begin this series, as we invite a series of guests to explore what it means to live a good life, incorporating the concept of Ikigai and Providend's Philosophy of Sufficiency.Being a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, we have always advocated for our clients to first make life decisions before financial decisions. Life decisions are also what we term "Ikigai" decisions. In this episode, our Founder and CEO, Christopher Tan, interviews his Ikigai Tribe Coach, Nicholas Kemp, on the true meaning behind the concept of Ikigai and what a life worth living is, through the lens of the Japanese. (P.S.: It is not the Ikigai Four-Circle Venn Diagram).Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially—with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.You can find out more about Nicholas and the Ikigai Tribe here: https://ikigaitribe.com/Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 3 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

If you're too afraid to look at your inadequacies then you're designated for stagnation. Want to see Brian's way for examining his life and accelerating progress?

Jay Anthony is an R&B/Pop singer with a large Gospel influence throughout all his music. Whether it be the spiritual angle of his subject matter, the way he sings, or the way the music is arranged, he keeps God first in all things. His latest single, “Worth Living” from his EP Music & Me was written from a very vulnerable place and offers encouragement and motivation to anyone going through something. Jay explained that he actually began writing the song in 2021 and after going through the loss of his Grandmother, depression and therapy, was able to complete the song this year. He shared that losing her was what caused the depression which led to him temporarily losing his love of music. Since he grew up with multiple musically inclined family members and lives a family centric life, losing her was like losing a piece of the love that was in his heart. But, by completing this song he found the motivation to compose the rest of the EP.“When I finished writing this song, I cried. When I heard the finished version, I cried. When my Mother - who didn't know about all of my crying - heard it for the first time, she cried. I knew if it had that effect on us, I had no choice but to share it with the world. The song gave me hope to continue. I knew I had to finish this project and I knew He [God] didn't give me these words just for me to keep them to myself.”Jay purposely released this song during this time of year because of how depression affects so many people around the holidays. He wants people to know that it's okay to not be okay and to get the therapy they need and keep living. All the music Jay writes is made with intentionality like this. For him, every song he writes is like a child which means they all need love and nurturing from him. And because of that love within them, he believes the music will resonate with people today and with people 20-40 years from now. He knows the music will be timeless because the lyrics within them and how they reached him are timeless. “It's spiritual for me. The Most High gives me these lyrics and I'm just a vessel for Him.”The spiritual perspective of the music creation comes directly from Jay's background in the church. And with him, he's found that all music comes from gospel. Whether it's chords or melodies - all of it goes back to gospel. By learning this, he was able to apply techniques from that world to a plethora of other aspects of music. His Grandmother reinforced this perspective by teaching him that the key to it all is singing from the heart. “When you sing from the heart, you're going to touch people.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

10/27/2024 1000 Strong: Something Worth Living For

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will.

Is Life Really Worth Living (part 7)

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. In Matthew 5:9, Jesus said: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Peace doesn't just happen—it must be made. The blessing isn't for the peaceful or even peacekeepers, but for those who make peace. Being a peacemaker means stepping into conflict, understanding its root causes, and putting others first. Romans 12 calls us to bless those who persecute us, to overcome evil with good, and to live at peace as far as it depends on us. When we do the work of peacemaking, we reflect God's heart and receive the blessing of being called His children. Peacemaking is a truth worth pursuing, and this is Truth Worth Living. Help us spread the word—like and share this message! #TruthWorthLiving #Peacemakers #Beatitudes #Blessed

Right in the very midst of massive church expansion is a serious cost in people’s lives. If it was true with Jesus, if it was true with the early church, if it’s taught throughout the New Testament, why would we think it would be any different for us? Is our faith worth dying for? How about living for?

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. Today, we're diving into Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” What does it mean to have a pure heart? It means our hearts are undivided and focused on one thing: God and His glory. No compartments, no divisions—our lives revolve around Him. Jesus reminds us that our hearts influence everything we do. A pure heart produces good fruit, while an impure heart leads to actions that pull us away from God. But here's the good news—God desires to give us an undivided heart. He promises to remove our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh, responsive to His guidance (Ezekiel 11:19). Invite God to purify your heart today and experience His blessing in return. That's a truth worth welcoming, and this is Truth Worth Living! ❤️ Help us share this message by liking and sharing this post! #TruthWorthLiving #Beatitudes #PureInHeart #SeekGod #FaithJourney #HeartOfFlesh #Blessings

Is Life Really Worth Living - part 6

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. Today, we're diving into the 5th Beatitude, found in Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” In a world where mercy was once seen as weakness, Jesus declares that mercy is a blessing! But what exactly is mercy? It's loving kindness shown through acts of compassion, even toward the undeserving. It's feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, and giving back when others expect nothing. Jesus says when we serve others with mercy, we are actually serving Him. And when we offer mercy to others, God responds by showing mercy to us.

Is Life Really Worth Living - part 5

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. Today, we're diving into the fourth beatitude found in Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” At first glance, it may seem that Jesus is calling for go-getters who will strive to achieve righteousness with all their might. But actually, Jesus is blessing the longing for righteousness, not the achievement of it. He's not asking us to work ourselves to the bone trying to earn it because pursuing righteousness is not about checking off boxes or keeping the law perfectly. Rather, it's about recognizing our need for Him. Just like the first three beatitudes, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed when they realize that only Jesus can satisfy that longing. The law shows us where we fall short—but Jesus meets us with grace and fills us. In His kingdom, there's a blessing for those who turn to Him with their deepest needs.

It might be better to ask Canada Taylor what she doesn't do in the realm of suicide prevention, postvention, and grief support rather than what she does because she seems to do just about everything and anything. This is part two of our conversation with her, so if you missed the first, Ep. 297: Honoring A Great Love, be sure to listen. In this episode, we talk about the holistic  approach she takes to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. An approach that focuses on building a world worth living in. A world where youth - and people of any age - have their basic needs met and can access safety, community, and true belonging.  We discuss: Some of the professional roles Canada holds What is different for grief professionals and educators when the topic of suicide arises The changing landscape of suicide prevention & postvention How systems and institutions can create barriers to more humane and effective interventions What we still don't know when it comes to suicide How stigma, shame, and isolation contribute to suicide - and the harm they cause for those left behind Risk factors for youth suicide, especially for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ youth Protective factors like belonging, safety, and community Why cultural & community specific prevention & intervention strategies are necessary What the headlines get wrong about youth suicide The pockets of hope Canada's come across in the field Since 2005 Canada Taylor has worked in behavioral health care serving youth and adults, with a focus in deathcare and helping families navigate grief, loss, and trauma amidst crisis. Relational, restorative, and transformative approaches are key underpinnings to Canada's holistic, integrative philosophy to creating change and healing for all. Currently she is the Suicide Prevention Coordinator and Postvention Response Lead for the Multnomah County Health Department. Canada was honored with the Trillium Health Mental Health Hero award in 2021 and Multnomah County's Committee Choice Award in 2024 for her work in grief and suicide prevention. Grounding spaces in humor, authenticity, and vulnerability are essential to Canada's professional and personal life, and especially her work in suicide prevention.    Organizations we reference: School Crisis Recovery & Renewal Network (SCRR) SAMSHA Black Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition National Suicide Prevention Month **If you are someone you know is struggling, please reach out** Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 Trans Lifeline: 877.565.8860 YouthLine: 877.968.8491 BlackLine: 800.604.5841 LGBTQ National Hotline: 888.843.4564 The Trevor Project: 866.488.7386

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. Today, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes, where Jesus shares the surprising blessings found in God's kingdom. In Matthew 5:5, Jesus says: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” To the crowd on that mountainside, this statement was shocking—meekness didn't get you ahead in life, it got you pushed around. But Jesus was turning the world's values upside down. He wasn't talking about the meekness of resignation, where people shrink back out of fear or insecurity. Jesus was talking about the meekness of resolution—where true strength is held back for the sake of others. Think of it like this: You have the power to knock out a horse with one punch (like legendary boxer Joe Louis), but you choose patience and gentleness instead. That's the kind of meekness Jesus blesses in His kingdom. This meekness isn't weakness—it's strength under control, driven by a deep sense of who we are in Christ. Meekness by resolution is a quality worth cultivating, and this is truth worth living!

Is Life Really Worth Living (part 3)

Is Life Really Worth Living (part 2)

Is Life Really Worth Living (part 1)

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. In our last three editions, we laid the groundwork for understanding the Beatitudes. Today, we dive into the first one found in Matthew 5:3: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does it mean to be "poor in spirit"? There are two kinds of poverty in scripture: Poverty of Subsistence: Like subsistence farming, it's about just getting by with what you can grow or earn without outside help. Abject Poverty: An all-encompassing poverty that can only be overcome with outside assistance. Jesus uses the word for abject poverty here. So, "poor in spirit" means being utterly convinced of our unworthiness of God's love and acceptance, feeling spiritually bankrupt. In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus illustrates this with a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee boasts of his righteousness, while the tax collector humbly asks for God's mercy, recognizing his spiritual poverty. Jesus says it's the humble tax collector who goes home justified before God. This Beatitude invites us to acknowledge our reality—we are in a hole we can't climb out of without God's help. For followers of Jesus, it's a reminder of our beginnings and who sustains us. Poverty of spirit is where we all start, but in Jesus, God offers us the riches of His heavenly kingdom. That's a truth we must believe, and this is truth worth living!

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God's word so we can live in God's will. What does it mean to be blessed? The Greek word Jesus uses is makarios, often translated as "happy," but it signifies a deeper, enduring happiness and satisfaction unaffected by external circumstances. Jesus promises this profound blessing to those in seemingly unenviable situations and those displaying godly dispositions. In Christ, we find everything we need, especially in challenging times. His blessings bring satisfaction and security that surpass any worldly happiness. Join us in discovering the truth and blessings in these Beatitudes. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! That's truth to cling to, and this is truth worth living!

Today, Pastor Jim reminds us how to have courage and boldness to stand firm on the gospel, even if it costs us our lives.Mark 6: 14-29

At 6PM over NBC's WEAF, The Catholic Hour took to the air with an address from Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen. Fulton John Sheen was born on May 8th, 1895 in El Paso, Illinois. He was ordained a priest in 1919, quickly becoming a renowned theologian. He won the Cardinal Mercier Prize for International Philosophy in 1923 and went on to teach theology and philosophy at the Catholic University of America. Beginning in 1930, Father Sheen began a twenty-year run hosting The Catholic Hour on NBC before moving into TV to present Life is Worth Living and The Fulton Sheen Program. Twice winning an Emmy for Most Outstanding TV personality, he was also featured on the cover of TIME magazine. He was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York in 1951, holding the position until 1966 when he was made Bishop of Rochester. He resigned in 1969 near his seventy-fifth birthday and would live until December 9th, 1979. In 2002, twenty-two years after his death, an official cause for canonization into sainthood was opened. Pope Benedict XVI officially recognized his life of "heroic virtues." However, his 2019 beatification was postponed after the current Bishop of Rochester expressed concern that Sheen mishandled a sexual misconduct case against a priest. Although the Diocese of Peoria countered that his handling of the case had already been thoroughly investigated, as of 2024 Fulton J. Sheen's beatification is still postponed. Opposite The Catholic Hour, The Blue Network aired The Radio Hall of Fame on WJZ. Hosted by Deems Taylor and sponsored by Philco, The Radio Hall of Fame was conceived as a weekly Academy Award of radio through Variety Magazine, focusing on that week's hits. When it was launched in December of 1943, there was serious questioning as to whether it was proper for Variety to be so intimately involved. How could a trade paper whose business was reviewing show business enter into its production? Ben Bodec, a fifteen-year Variety reporter quit in protest, but the show went on without a hitch. It was a glittering spectacle, stars like Fred Allen, Bob Hope, Sophie Tucker, Groucho Marx, Bing Crosby, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and the Andrews Sisters all appeared. It would air until April 28th, 1946.

In this thought-provoking conversation with Freya Mathews, we delved into the depths of panpsychism, nature, and eco-philosophy. Freya illuminated the interconnectedness of these ideas, emphasizing how our current ecological crisis demands a profound reevaluation of the very assumptions that gave rise to modernity. Panpsychism, the view that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe, became a central theme. Freya articulated how recognizing the sentience within all things challenges the human-centric perspective that has led to environmental exploitation. She passionately argued that a shift towards an eco-philosophy rooted in panpsychism can help us cultivate a more respectful and reciprocal relationship with the natural world. As we explored these concepts, it became clear that responding to our ecological challenges requires more than just surface-level solutions. Freya urged us to rethink our place in the world, to question the Cartesian dualism that separates mind from matter, and to embrace a holistic understanding of existence. In this enlightening conversation, Freya Matthews inspired a call to action—to not only address the symptoms of our environmental crisis but to fundamentally transform our worldview, recognizing the intrinsic value and agency of all life forms on this planet. Freya Mathews is Emeritus Professor of Environmental Philosophy at Latrobe University. Her books include The Ecological Self (1991, 2021), Ecology and Democracy (editor) (1996), For Love of Matter: a Contemporary Panpsychism(2003), Journey to the Source of the Merri (2003), Reinhabiting Reality: towards a Recovery of Culture(2005), Ardea: a philosophical novella (2016), Without Animals Life is not Worth Living (2016) and The Dao of Civilization: a Letter to China (2023). She is the author of over a hundred essays, chapters and articles in the area of ecological philosophy. Her current special interests are in ecological civilization; indigenous (Australian and Chinese) perspectives on “regenerativity” and how these perspectives may be adapted to the context of contemporary global society; panpsychism and the critique of the metaphysics of modernity; and conservation ethics. In addition to her research activities she helps to care for a private conservation reserve in northern Victoria. She is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
