There comes a time in every seeker's life when the well runs dry, when prayer feels hollow, scripture feels distant, and the certainty that once steadied our steps begins to shift like sand beneath our feet.

Weneed a companion; a wise and patient listener who can help us hear the voice of God again.In this episode of Discipleship Conversations, hosts Cheryl Russell and Tiffany Dahlman welcome Dr. Mallory Wyckoff, a writer, speaker, spiritual director, and peacemaker who has spent her life holding space for others to encounter the sacred.

This week Andrew talks with Florida State University Women's Basketball Head Coach Brooke Wyckoff. In each of her first three seasons as head coach, Brooke has led Florida State to the NCAA postseason — something no other Florida State Women's Basketball coach has done to start their career. Brooke's success as a new head coach has also come amidst adversity off the court. In 2023, Brooke was diagnosed with breast cancer and has courageously led her team throughout her treatment. This episode is about more than basketball – it's about overcoming adversity, growing as a leader, & the power of lifting others up along the way.** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123Twitter/X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.

Shmuel is a 2L at Chicago-Kent College of Law and works as an Intern at the Illinois Office of the State Attorney's Appellate Prosecutor. Shmuel's journey to the Law is just starting, but it's been nothing short of living the dream thus far! Shmuel and I start before he arrives at Law School. It was High School and Shmuel Applied and gained an internship at the Los Angeles County District Attorney. Being so young as an intern, he would become a sponge to all that he was learning, watching trials, and learning from his bosses, keeping a close eye on everything that went on. From that experience, he knew going forward, going to Law School was his dream. He would return to the same District Attorney's office for 2 out of the 3 next summers, before heading off to Touro College Los Angeles. During his time there, he would hold an additional file clerkship as well as work as a teacher's assistant at the same school he attended, for the same teacher he had. For Shmuel, this experience delivered on building those all-important soft skills, communication skills, and especially with 4th graders, having a ton of patience. We then moved to his entry into Chicago-Kent College of Law, where he would be shocked by the fact that he made it to Law School, describing it as living the dream! He would love the first year as well, having interesting material to work with, and the chance to focus solely on school. Shmuel would describe the various internships, clerkships, and externships he held throughout the last 2 years, up until the present day. One clerkship, in particular, was found through this podcast, as Shmuel would work for former guest, Yisrael Gelb, at Gelb Law APC. Shmuel would find Yisrael through this podcast, meet with him, and then many months later, would see Yisrael was looking for employees, and would reach out leading to an eventual hire, a prime example of the power of networking! Finally, Shmuel would speak about how his faith would play an impact on his life thus far, allowing for something to fall back on when all is lost, and an opportunity to look at the big picture, because in the end, it all works out for the better, no matter what. This episode with Shmuel is a testament to chasing your dreams, and exploring one's interests with full strength!

# Should You Pay Your FMO for Training? Insights from the Insurance Business Babes **The Initial Investment: Paying for Training to Foster Seriousness** In the latest episode of *Insurance Business Babes*, hosts Joanna Wyckoff and Kathe Kline delve into a contentious topic: whether new insurance agents should pay their Field Marketing Organization (FMO) for training. Wyckoff starts by mentioning that although selling one application can cover a $200 monthly training fee, the investment creates a deterrent for those who are not serious about succeeding in the industry. She proposes that agents pay upfront for their training with a promise of a refund upon breaking even, ensuring only dedicated participants move forward. **The Cost of Entry: Low but Meaningful** Wyckoff and Kline highlight the relatively low cost of entering the insurance business—around $150 for licensing. However, this low barrier often leads to a sense of entitlement where new agents expect free training without appreciating the trainer's time. Wyckoff shares her personal journey, cautioning against early distractions like premature recruiting and emphasizing the need to treat the insurance practice as a serious business venture. **Entitlement and Expecting Free Training** An underlying theme discussed by both hosts is the issue of entitlement among new agents expecting free training and guidance. Wyckoff candidly mentions her frustration with the overwhelming demands from non-contracted agents seeking her expertise for free. Similarly, Kline expresses reluctance to form a downline due to the considerable effort required, which often goes unpaid if the agent underperforms. **Value of Documentation and Self-Reliance** The hosts stress the importance of self-reliance and efficient documentation. Agents are encouraged to take extensive notes during training and leverage Facebook groups for ongoing support. Self-sufficiency also extends to problem-solving, like contacting carrier help desks directly for technical issues, an approach both hosts advocate. **Specialization and Focus for Success** Kline shares a story about an agent whose lack of follow-up led to high client turnover. Wyckoff suggests that automation and virtual assistants could significantly help, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility and proper business operations. The episode concludes with the hosts highlighting the value of focusing on a niche area. Specialization not only enhances client recall but also increases business success, a strategy that has been beneficial both to them and their referral partners. **Conclusion: Valuing Time and Proper Protocols** Ultimately, Wyckoff and Kline underline the necessity of valuing their time and setting clear expectations. From proposing payment for training to advocating specialized focus areas, their discussion serves as a valuable guide for new agents to navigate the industry successfully. Joining structured training programs and adhering to proper support protocols are crucial steps for any insurance agent aiming for long-term success.

I reconnected with my friend and colleague, Brooke Wyckoff, for what I thought would be a conversation about modern coaching, but ended up being a much deeper conversation about her battle with cancer.    Brooke is a former professional basketball player, and current Head Coach at Florida State. Even through chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, Brooke did not let her diagnosis slow her down, and continued to lead her team. She is a badass and a pillar in her community, and her unwavering strength and positivity shines through in this episode.    In this episode, we talk about: The emotional and mental challenges of being diagnosed How mindset work prepared Brooke to battle cancer How Brooke's experience will influence the way she navigates coaching, parenthood, and life moving forward The foundational importance of team building - and how Brooke nurtures trust and closeness on her team. The vulnerability of asking for help, and how Brooke's community stepped up. I've always been such a big fan of Brooke's, and getting to dissect the mental and emotional components of what she's been through, and for her to share her heart on this platform, is really powerful and such an honor.  From someone who has faced the unthinkable and gone through it with so much grace, this episode offers a perspective shift that we can all benefit from.

Select Series: In this special Select episode, we'll delve into "Understanding Your Inherited Financial Psychology" with Michelle Arpin Begina. Originally aired as Episode 69 of Guts, Grit & Great Business® on June 15, 2021, it's a conversation that remains as relevant and insightful as ever. Whether you're tuning in for the first time or revisiting it as a longtime listener, we're thrilled to have you with us. With Michelle Arpin Begina, a financial advisor, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and a Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®). Michelle is also an author and speaker, and launched her own business, MichelleAB, which is dedicated to empowering professional women to step into financial freedom so that they can enjoy their wealth and make their boldest, most inspired decisions from a place of confidence. Join us for this fabulous conversation where Michelle's shares about her earliest memories from childhood related to money, and how her own money story was shaped. She shares her parents' feast or famine patterns with money, and how through their communication (including TMI at times) and behaviors, they taught her different lessons about money. You'll hear Michelle discuss the difference between things that are private versus things that are secret, and how secrets harm, including in our financial lives. Michelle also shares about how parents can talk in healthy, helpful, and age-appropriate ways about money and finances with their children, what the meaning of wealth is, and about contextual self-control which illuminates how our motivations show up differently, in different areas of life. Michelle has used the money lessons from her life to rethink how financial advisors and their clients have traditionally worked together. Rather than thinking of her role as a gatekeeper of portfolios, she sees real value in being a gateway to personal financial freedom. To support her clients on their unique wealth journeys, Michelle is a technician of financial planning, investment, and wealth management. But what differentiates Michelle from other financial advisors is that she has spent the last two-plus decades studying the unconventional, non-financial aspects of life satisfaction, financial therapy (it's a thing), behavioral bias, choice, and decision advising. She believes we all need to examine the money stories, scripts, and lessons that affect our financial psychology so that we can rethink what we know about money to have more of it. Michelle lives in Wyckoff, NJ with her husband, Mike and sons, Alex and Nick. She is an avid photographer – her sons are her favorite subject!
