This week in our Free (From The Power of) Money series, our good friend John Talley III takes us into the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14-30, a powerful story that challenges us to examine our faithfulness with God's gifts. This parable isn't just about money; it's about how we steward all that God entrusts to us - our time, talents, and treasures. The master in the story represents God, and we are His servants, each given different 'talents' according to our abilities. The key question we must ask ourselves is: Are we being faithful with what we have? The servants who invested and multiplied their talents were praised, while the one who buried his talent faced severe consequences. This stark contrast urges us to actively use our God-given abilities for His kingdom, rather than hiding them away in fear or laziness. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we're using our skills, resources, and time to glorify God and serve others. Are we picking and choosing what to be faithful with, or are we committed to stewarding everything God has given us?

Best Time Organization Applications in 2025: Productivity like a Pro

"Jag kommer snart" är en charmig och välskriven låt som med humor och värme skildrar den universella kampen med att komma i tid och hur sant partnerskap innebär att acceptera varandras brister. Produktionen kombinerar country-element med wild fiddle och gritty gitarrer som skapar en upbeat swing-rytm som perfekt speglar det kaotiska men energiska temat i texten. Den starka sångprestationen levererar de humoristiska texterna med perfekt uttal och en självironisk charm som gör protagonistens ständiga förseningar och missöden relaterbar snarare än irriterande. Textmässigt lyckas låten fånga det vardagliga kaoset med konkreta och roliga detaljer som "strumpor som inte hör ihop", "kjolen fastnar i ett förbannat jävla piano" och "håret blåser bak som en vild tornado", vilket skapar en vivid bild av modern tidspress och vardagsmissöden. Låten utforskar också den vackra dynamiken i en kärleksrelation där partnern inte bara tolererar utan faktiskt uppskattar den andres kaotiska natur - "du är värd varenda minut jag har" visar på djup acceptans och kärlek. De instrumentala delarna, särskilt det vilda fiddla-solot som "twirls into gritty guitar licks", förstärker låtens lekfulla energi och speglar protagonistens kaotiska men charmiga personlighet. "Jag kommer snart" är en perfekt vardagslåt som kommer att resonera med alla som kämpar med tidshantering och alla som älskar någon trots (eller kanske på grund av) deras brister - en påminnelse om att äkta kärlek handlar om att acceptera och älska hela personen, inklusive deras mest frustrerande egenskaper.

Jag Kommer Snart

This week, in a twist, Darlene is in the interviewer's seat, asking Mike (!) about his time management skills (which are impressive, even by lawyer standards).

One of Mike's special superpowers is his ability to set and meet deadlines, regardless of his workload. How does he do it?? Darlene aims to find out, in this episode, and Mike shares his top tips, grouped into four easy and memorable "buckets". 

In addition: a quick chat about the Midjourney/Disney AI image generator lawsuit, and as always, our goods and gripes. Mike is DONE with music biopics, but promotes and supports a great local live music show where the band's performance is on point. Darlene is self aware (at least), about her soccer mom cheering issue. And we tease our next episode, in which we will interview Adam Dodek about his book "Heenan Blaikie: The Making and Unmaking of a Great Canadian Law Firm".

In this episode, Ricardo shares five tips to optimize meetings. First, keep them short and focused—long calls often waste time. Second, ask if a meeting is truly necessary; many decisions can be handled via Slack or email. Third, when a meeting is needed, send a clear agenda and define objectives in advance. Fourth, use AI tools to record and summarize meetings so participants can focus on the discussion. Tools like Claude help create action-based summaries. Fifth, assign a facilitator to keep the meeting on track and ensure outcomes turn into actions. Finally, gather team feedback to improve future meetings. Effective meetings can truly accelerate project success.

Biblical Activities

The summer after his freshman year in high school, John Connell went on the Texas Giant rollercoaster in Arlington, Texas, the tallest wooden rollercoaster in the U.S. at that time. John ended up in the hospital, with injuries the doctors weren’t sure he’d recover from. That became an “origination point,” a wake-up call that forever changed the trajectory of his life.
 
In this episode of The Healthy Advisor podcast, WealthManagement.com Executive Editor Diana Britton talks with John Connell, co-founder and CEO of Focal, about the life-changing experience. It shaped his perspective, inspired his relentless curiosity, and ultimately led to the creation of Focal, an artificial intelligence meeting management solution for financial advisors.
 
John opens up about the accident that nearly claimed his life as a teenager, how it fueled a lifelong commitment to impact, and why he believes hardship is a hidden teacher. He also shares how his global travels, time at Microsoft and passion for scaling meaningful change converged to create a company that helps advisors spend more time with clients and less on paperwork.

John discusses:

- His childhood and early experiences that shaped him
- His near-death experience and its long-lasting impact on his worldview
- Lessons from global travel and embracing different cultures
- The role of technology in driving societal change
- How Focal is helping advisors reclaim their time and serve more clients

Not Your Typical Journey – Episode 1: Tapping Into a New Chapter

No matter how busy you are today, it’s crucial that you find time to meditate on God’s Word.

Determined and Creative

Hello

Thanks for visiting my profile. 

I am an experienced leader in global operations, project management, business transformation, and crisis management. My main focus is implementing innovative global initiatives, capital projects, and product development. I have directed dozens of projects across industries and continents, managing more than $20 billion in global initiatives over the past 25 years.

I am a seasoned board member who has participated in the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC) board member program. I was the first Latin American to become chairman of the board of the Project Management Institute globally, where I served for four years. I am also a member of the advisory board of Yera, an Estonian startup dedicated to improving employee performance and engagement through technology and artificial intelligence.

I share my expertise with millions of professionals around the globe through my "5 Minutes Podcast," which I have hosted since 2007 and has reached 12 million views. I've written 16 books on project management, risk and crisis management, and transformation, which have been translated into six languages and sold over half a million copies.

I am a seasoned speaker and have delivered over 250 keynote addresses in 40 countries. My influence on the sector was affirmed when I became the first Latin American to be elected Chairman of the Project Management Institute.

My work as a venture capitalist and entrepreneur in artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, chatbots, and machine learning resulted in tools and products that have revolutionized how users bring agility and agile management into project management software.

More than two decades ago, I founded Macrosolutions, a global consulting firm with international operations in energy, infrastructure, IT, oil, and finance.

Between 2016 and 2020, I envisioned and led the Brightline Initiative, a Project Management Institute think tank in partnership with leading organizations dedicated to helping executives bridge the expensive, unproductive gap between strategy design and delivery.

Before Brightline, I was Director of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) Infrastructure and Project Management Group, leading over 1,000 projects and $1.2 billion in humanitarian and development projects. I was also responsible for the first ESG Report in the UN System, published in 2015.

I have a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering, and a master's degree in Industrial Engineering.
