    532 - Believe In Yourself | Ten Ways To Succeed With Zero Talent

    A year ago, I had the opportunity to speak with some college students at Belmont University.  My friend, Professor Barry Landis, wanted me to speak on a topic that would be foundational and practical for college students - something these Music & Entertainment students could use out in the real world.

    This is the last of ten short (9 minutes or less) messages I recorded recently on a brand new app online called Racket (think Twitter for audio).

    522 - Everything In This World Is Temporary

    522 - Everything In This World Is Temporary

    Today, I share a devotional message from a devotional book I read every morning called The Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn (NYTimes Bestseller of the book The Harbinger).

    Every day for an entire year, an imaginary teacher gives his student daily ancient lessons taught for thousands of years in Jewish tradition.  This is the basic premise of the book.

    Jonathan Cahn mixes old testament and new testament lessons leading the reader to deeper insights into the teachings of Jesus and how it relates to their life today. 

    Every devotional entry is interesting, but this one had a more profound impact on me.  This one is called THE TENT WORLD (Day 50).

    Let me know, by messaging me on Twitter, if you want to hear more messages like this from me in the future.

    521 - There's A Story In Your Blood: Find Out Your Family History with Genealogist Laurie Hermance-Moore

    521 - There's A Story In Your Blood: Find Out Your Family History with Genealogist Laurie Hermance-Moore

    You didn't just get here by accident.  You are here because everyone before you had the strength to persevere.  And everyone in your family genealogy has a story. 

    Laurie Hermance-Moore is more than an accredited genealogist helping people discover their family history, she's a story-discoverer and a storyteller!  Laurie's company, Heritage Bridge, specializes in family history and forensic genealogy. She breaks down for me her process of discovery and story-weaving for her clients.  This was a really fun episode to record.  I think you'll enjoy it if you're into ancestry or family tree research.

    In this interview, Laurie talks about:

    • How Laurie became a genealogist
    • How did Laurie become accredited?
    • How she discovers family stories?
    • Warning: DNA doesn't lie!
    • The process of genealogy.
    • Family History vs. Forensic Genealogy
    • Why it's hard to research before 1850.
    • What if you suspect you have slaves in your family history?
    • What kinds of things can she uncover?
    • Laurie shares her most interesting discoveries.
    • Get a free starter guide to genealogy discovery
    • What's the most important advice she gives to people starting out.

    * All of this is organized with Chapter Markers. If your podcasting app allows, you may prefer to skip around this episode to listen to the parts that most interest you.

    In this interview, Jimmy talks about:

    • The history of Bitcoin and how it works
    • How to program Bitcoin
    • What the future will look like with Bitcoin (and without it - scary!)
    • The moral failure of the current Fiat economy
    • The redemptive nature of the Bitcoin economy
    • How to start investing with Bitcoin
    • The miracle of story of the book, Thank God For Bitcoin.
    • Why Dave Ramsey should endorse Bitcoin

    * All of this is organized with Chapter Markers, if you'd prefer to skip around this episode and if you're podcasting app allows.
