Following Christ is not for the faint of heart. Striving to be a Kingdom man isn’t about packing up and taking a vacation. It’s about getting your mind right, your gear packed and heading into war. It’s more important now than ever before to stand up for what’s right and just in the eyes of the Lord and seek His Truth. This ain’t a cruise ship fellas, it’s a battle ship. So buckle up and get ready for the truth. The Uncomfortable Truth.

Uncomfortable Truths is hosted by Melbourne comedian Pradeepa Timmermans. She interviews interesting local comedians and regular people here in Australia. Each podcast briefly discusses or delves right into at least one uncomfortable truth. These include topics like being a comedian, writing comedy, sex, addiction, corruption, experiences of failure as well as success, mental health - you know, the stuff we don’t talk about. The only thing we find more uncomfortable than these subjects is tr ...

The line is spoken by Howard Beale, a character who is angry about the state of America.The executive vice president at a huge bank asked where I was from. "So you left that cesspool to move up here," he said. I said, "Why are so many of you so j…

Lisa Miller is an expert and thought leader in efficiencies and effectiveness in health care, including how to sell in changing environments to health care executives (and avoid procurement, for example).In this rapid-fire conversation, we discuss the pros and cons of AI, the multitude of options, the projected shortage of physicians, the ability t…

A "battleground state" in a US election is a state where either candidate might win depending on the appeal to voters and for whom the majority votes. This is the essence of democracy. Shouldn't every state be a "battleground state"?The same should apply to Congressional and Senate Seats. We have Senators serving longer than many European monarchs.…

War’s End?We’ve honored the character and acts of Jimmy Carter upon his death, as we should.But most of the honor was due to his works after he left his one-term presidency, defeated by Ronald Regan. People voted for a starkly different candidate (as they did with Trump after both Obama and Biden).One of Carter’s great blunders was his handling of …

We made four significant charitable contributions to the arts at year end. Two of the the group’s management called to thank us.Whenever I see a positive mention about me on social media, I write in to simply say thanks for the generosity. I thank bussers and gas station attendants. I thank my trainer each time. It doesn’t matter whether I’m paying…

Forget resolutions that are broken in 90 minutes. Try to focus on the good things that you do and that happen to you.Try a personal journal. You don’t have to be compulsive, but keep it handy, electronically or physically, to easily record things. These may be good acts done for you by others or good acts you perform, especially spontaneously and “…

These are times of astounding incivility, harassment, and dismissiveness. These acts are based on a posturing of moral superiority, as if mere disagreement denotes an inferior being.There is a line in Morris West's The Navigator that states: "And that's the terror of the high place and the high man. Is it God he hears or the echo of his own mad sho…

Are you looking where it's easy or where you're more likely to succeed? We content ourselves with people who can say no and can't say yes.We seek affection and not respect. Remember "looking for love in all the wrong places"? You won't find love in a bar. A woman told me all the really appealing men in bars are married or gay!If you want to catch f…

We seem to have a sense of entitlement. We believe we’re being “ghosted” (a ridiculous term) when people don’t return our calls because we didn’t sufficiently impress them or excite them in our earlier interactions.We’re not entitled to: • Clients who never change a schedule • Not having an opinion on business practices • Using non-validated testin…

You steer into a skid; you don't try to get out of it because then you lose control. We have to exploit opportunities and deal with setbacks resiliently—"bouncing forward."Blaming and complaining are for children and immature adults. Never let up. The key is to be at your best when you're under the maximum pressure. We should be able to make minor …

Relativism holds that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, and/or historical context and are not absolute. I’m not so sure (nor are a lot of other people).Let me speak of relativism today. There is an old Monty Python skit where a one-legged man auditions for a theatrical role as Tarzan. After some awkward movements…

The post-mortems from those who did not back the winner in this presidential election seem to be two-fold.On one hand, we have a group of insightful people asking, “What did we do wrong, and how can we improve?” On the other, we have people whose heads are exploding in vitriol and venom. The latter’s basic premises are that those who voted for the …

We all need friends, but not the same ones! Friends need to evolve as we grow, mature, and change.Marshall Goldsmith and I wrote Lifestorming together, and we somewhat disagreed on this, but he wrote the terrific book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, so I think this applies to friends, as well!Your spouse is your best friend? That’s a cop-out…

This election reflects a totally flawed Democratic strategy:• Painting your opponent as toxic but not having positive policies.• A candidate who cannot speak without a teleprompter and memorized sound bites.• A morally superior attitude that conveys people voting for the opposition are less educated, dumber, and morally inferior.• Rallying celebrit…

The turning point in the American Civil War—and probably world history—occurred in Gettysburg on a rise called Little Round Top. At that place, at that time, a Union general saw a vast threat, and a Union Colonel and his regiment averted the threat through the brilliance of a single command.We need more courage in our lives because, unlike Gettysbu…

We all get the kind of government we deserve. If you voted for the winner of the election, that’s good until such time as you feel promises aren’t being kept. If you voted for the loser of the election, that means not enough people in the right places agreed with you, and you have to submit to the system. However, you’re still free to protest, be s…

Bill Russell, in Second Wind, defines pressure and performance.For example: - Brady coming back from 25 points down in the second half of the Super Bowl.- Houston, we have a problem (Apollo 13).- Sully Sullenberger landing in the Hudson River. The need is to really stay calm.- Three Mile Island as opposed to Chornobyl.- Bluffing in poker (vs. the “…

Many people in Rhode Island have never been to Boston, let alone New York. I’ve coached a very successful entrepreneur who has never been to New York and doesn’t wish to go. Most people can’t locate Bolivia or Laos (or Nebraska) on a map.When Americans in a survey were asked the three most famous Japanese they could think of, it was Bruce Lee, Yoko…

Esteem means respect and admiration. Hence, self-esteem would mean respect and admiration for yourself. Self-worth and self-esteem are the same thing to me, whereas self-confidence is your faith (or lack thereof) that you can do something: efficacy.Pride is feeling proud of your accomplishments, but vanity is insisting that others hear about them, …

The rate of failures of small businesses is astounding: 20% fail during the first two years, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first ten years. While there are myriad reasons, such as succeeding generations of ownership not being as motivated or competent, most of these fail under the original founders and owners. That’s because t…

Some suggestions to build credibility with a buyer during the initial meeting. (This assumes you’re meeting with a true economic buyer who controls the budget.)1. Assume a peer mentality. Don’t allow yourself to be cast in a “dog and pony show.” (I suggest you never show up with visual aids for this very reason.) Adapt an attitude that the two of y…

This is a marketing lesson for the Catholic Church. I’m a lector and a Eucharistic Minister in the Church and converted 18 years ago. As some of you know, I’ve also spent a great deal of my coaching and consulting career in the field of strategy and have written two commercially published books on the topic.The average age in the church my wife and…

The agenda of inequality and wealth focused only on the richest might not reconcile with reality.There have been increases in home ownership (even though buying always has its difficulties, from interest rates to inventory). There is a record of intergenerational wealth transfer from retirement savings and the Regan-era IRA legislation.In the West,…

Just tell me what I want to know.People instead tell you everything that they know.College professors are reading their dissertation notes. Electricians are telling you about high and low voltage, amps, and watts. The tree guy tells you about diseases of poplars when you asked if he could prune some dead branches on an oak. The auto guy explains wh…
