Marcus Farris emphasizes the value of our identity beyond a single event especially a traumatic one. While the impact of a traumatic event should not be disregarded, it is essential to recognize that it does not solely determine our worth, resilience, or potential for a fulfilling future. Rather, it is through our response, healing process, and ability to find strength and purpose beyond the trauma that we can reshape our narrative. Embracing our inherent strength and surrounding ourselves with support can empower us to move forward, understand our story, and find meaning.

Building Leaders is a distinct discipline from Managing Employees. While both are essential for a successful organization, building leaders involves nurturing individuals' potential, empowering them to take ownership of their roles, and fostering a culture of innovation and growth. It requires a deeper understanding of each person's unique strengths and weaknesses, and the ability to inspire, guide, and mentor them towards achieving their full potential. By recognizing the differences between Managing Employees and Building Leaders, you can build a higher level of trust and productivity in your team and business.

In the 1990s Robert Kerbeck had built for himself what most would consider a
respectable acting career, but it wasn’t making him enough money to support
the lifestyle he had envisioned. So, Robert got a side gig. A very different kind
of side gig than most actors trying to make it.
Kerbeck had found the perfect day job for an actor trying to make a living:
playing a role. He made his real money by lying on the phone, tricking people
inside multibillion-dollar corporations into telling him things they definitely
should not. He charmed eager-to-please assistants, gaining their trust along with
total access to a company’s most valuable information.
Kerbeck's once promising acting career tailed off as he burrowed deeper and
deeper into the world of corporate espionage, to the point where his income jumped from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a year. Until the inevitable crash...
Perfect for fans of Catch Me If You Can and The Wolf of Wall Street, Ruse explores the lies Kerbeck told, the celebrities he screwed (and the ones who screwed him), the cons he ran, and the millions he made—and lost—along the way. Kerbeck has never revealed his hand, until now.
Robert Kerbeck is the founder of the Malibu Writers Circle and his essays and short stories have been featured in numerous magazines and literary journals, including Narratively, Cimarron Review and Los Angeles Magazine.

Mike Merrill grew up in a very large family as one of 13 children. When Mike's father passed away from a heart attack at the age of 45 when he was only 13 years old it forced him and his other 8 siblings that were still at home to really step up and do extra things to help their mother keep things afloat at the Merrill household. This helped the family hold onto their faith and values and also develop strength and character that can only come through hardship and struggle. These and other challenging experiences would shape what would become most important to Mike and how he would work to overcome any obstacle that came his way. Mike used these life lessons to inspire him to take control of his own life and become a young entrepreneur and business leader in his early twenties and he has continued in that path through different business ventures into today. Mike has always had a great passion for living an active lifestyle and enjoying hunting, fishing, hiking, and anything else that is outdoors. Mike has a special love for bow hunting and archery and enjoys pursuing big game animals wherever he can throughout the Mountain West. He has been married to his high-school sweetheart, Jennifer for 28 years and has four children and one grandson with another grand-baby on the way! Mike loves spending time with his family and traveling to new places together to experience and learn new things about other people and places!>>>MEN ARE FORGED forges men into leaders.

I am answering three questions today.
QUESTION 1: "My boss is a micromanager. It's pretty overwhelming most of the time. I want to say something, but I'm afraid what will happen if I do. But I'm also afraid if I don't say anything, then I won't last much longer at this job. Something has to change, but I'm not sure what to do. Any thoughts would help."
QUESTION 2 : "I'm crazy about my girlfriend. I think I want to marry her, but I'm not sure. I think moving in together before we get married might help me decide. What do you think I should do?"
QUESTION 3: "I like my job, my boss, and the people I work with. I'm married with a kid on the way, I go to a good church and have good community. But something feels missing. And I've checked all the boxes that I thought I was supposed to have. And I think I should be happier. But how do I find fulfillment when I haven't found it yet?"

"so I would say to my single self, Married sex doesn't fix anything. But single experiences with sex and porn and masturbation and fantasy are going to potentially wreck your opportunity to have good connected, safe, trusting, intimate sex with your spouse whenever that happens. And if you use a lot of porn, by the way, you might have trouble getting an erection on your honeymoon. Not to put too sharp of pulling on it."
Your story matters more than you think. Your past is connected to your present and future and it demands redemption or will lead to destruction in your life and others'. Therefore, understanding the narratives that drive you, are as important as what you do because it dictates your actions.

“You're forged by doing something. You're forged by actually taking responsibility. And if you find yourself passionate about something, just do it…it's a whole lot easier to steer a moving vessel. If it's sitting still, it's very hard to change the direction of that thing, once it's moving. Just get doing something.”

Chad M. Mansbridge is a pastor, author, conference speaker and one of Australia's most dynamic Bible teachers—known for his ability to communicate profound and complex truth with clarity, simplicity and a whole lot of fun!
At just 23 years of age, Chad and his wife (Jaye) planted and pioneered Bayside Church International; a thriving local church located in Victor Harbor, on the south coast of South Australia, where they are currently serving their twentieth year of pastoral ministry.
Chad’s latest book—You Can Handle the Truth—deals with the complex concern of how Christians should read, understand, and apply the Scriptures. Its conversational tone, innovative layout and original artwork makes it a standout in the hermeneutics space, with the goal of making the intimidating task of biblical interpretation as approachable as possible for the everyday believer. Endorsements for this project testify to its broad Christian appeal—with praise from Pentecostals and Presbyterians, professors and pastors, teen bloggers and bestselling authors, college presidents, prominent publishers, and even Bible translators—the book has recently been declared the GOLD Medallion winner in the Bible Study category for the 2022 Illumination Book Awards.

Finding your purpose doesn't happen by accident: https://menareforged.com/defineyourpurpose
Failure reveals 2 things: How we see ourselves and what poor mindsets are holding us back.
In failure, disappointment, and/or unmet expectations, we have to have identity above our actions and not dependent on them. Also, we have to develop mindsets that aren't dependent on the results but overcome them. Listen to my recap of Episode 89 with Eric Nickoli of BraveCo to find more on how failure is your key to success.

With over 80 million downloads it’s the perfect destination for fans to get an inside perspective on the popular franchise as they break down the current Bachelor season in addition to discussing pop culture, offering relationship advice and allowing listeners to keep up with their personal lives.

Ash ‘Kara which is Hebrew street slang for “totally!” or “right on!” explores the continuous evolution of Israeli cuisine with ingredients and flavors from across Europe and North Africa including Yemen, Syria, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and Spain into a menu of shareable items from Ash ‘Kara’s wood-fired oven. In November of 2019 Ben teamed up with chef Blake Edmunds to open up his second restaurant “Mister Oso”. Mister Oso is a Latin inspired restaurant that channels his love of Central and South American cuisine through a casual, flavor-bomb menu of salads, smoked and roasted meat tacos, ceviches, and crudos. In August of 2019 Ben was announced by Warner Brothers as the host of their newest project “Bachelor Live On Stage”. In February of 2020 Ben and the team hit the road to tour 65 cities throughout the United States hosting a live show in front of 2,000 plus people every night.

How well do I respond to failure?
Pain and failure can hurt or alter, they can make you bitter or better, and they are tools to shape you into a person of conviction. There are many big choices in life but one of the hardest is between comfort or meaning. Why I am here? Why have I been put on this earth? To chase this question is to invite failure, hardship, and disappointment but also, comes grace, resilience, and purpose.
