Tuesday Mar 18, 2025

Welcome everyone to the 48th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am so excited to bring you another dose of Elixir, that energetic power. Today’s topic is DESIRE but do not THIRST! #truthbetold
Desire is like a flame that warms the heart; thirst is like a wildfire that consumes the soul.
What are you desiring... and what are you thirsting for? Which one is leading you?
Desire is one of the highest powers of the soul, as without desire, nothing would ever be achieved. No person who attains the state of a happy marriage, financial security, or spiritual fulfillment does so by accident. Desire is an integral part of life and is essential to our biological survival.
What we have to do is be very careful not to become thirsty. The state of thirsting – or craving and compulsively grasping for one’s desires – causes unhappiness. Do not let your desires get to a point that they make you thirsty. This happens far too often in our world. Thirst is uncomfortable, so we look to quench that thirst. We set goals, and we believe we are incomplete if we don’t achieve them. This results in a steady state of low-level fear. You see, the emotional feeling of “I won’t be happy unless I get this, or have that, or be with this person, or go to this place, and so on” also contains the sense of “I am not happy”
In the Bible, desire can be something godly and positive when it aligns with God's will. It's often portrayed as a natural yearning for righteousness, wisdom, or God's presence. On the other hand, thirst, especially when uncontrolled or misplaced, can represent a deep, restless craving that leaves the soul unsatisfied, symbolizing spiritual emptiness.
Psalm 37:4 (Desire Properly Directed) "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Here, desire is healthy because it's rooted in delighting in God. It's not a desperate thirst for worldly things but a peaceful yearning aligned with divine purpose.
John 4:13-14 (Thirst for Temporary Things vs. Eternal Satisfaction): "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst." Jesus contrasts earthly thirst (temporary satisfaction) with the living water He provides. This is a powerful metaphor: chasing after worldly things leaves us perpetually thirsty, but His presence quenches in a way nothing else can.
 
Holy Desire: Aligned, Anchored, Abundant
Desire, in its purest form, draws you closer to purpose. It’s that spark God places in your heart—a calling, a vision, a yearning to become more, give more and love deeper.
Psalm 37:4 teaches us that when our desires align with God (delighting in Him), they’re not frantic but fulfilled.
Desire becomes powerful when it’s not rooted in lack but in alignment.
Dangerous Thirst: Restless, Relentless, Empty
Thirst is what the world often feeds us—a hunger that’s never satisfied. It’s the endless scroll, the constant comparison, the "just a little more and I’ll be happy" mentality.
Jesus addressed this in John 4, speaking to the Samaritan woman. She had been thirsting for validation, relationships, fulfillment—but none quenched her soul. He offers living water, satisfaction that ends the cycle.
Thirst leaves you chasing. Desire, properly placed, leads you to rest.
Contentment in the Middle (Philippians 4)
Paul wasn’t anti-desire. He had ambitions and goals! But he had learned the “secret”: contentment isn’t the absence of desire—it’s the absence of desperation.
You can desire growth, success, healing, and relationships—but when those desires become obsessions, you’ve crossed into thirsting.
Let me ask you some questions:
What am I desiring right now? Is it aligned with God’s will or fueled by comparison/fear/lack?
Where in my life do I feel restless, like no matter what I achieve, it’s not enough?
Am I content even if my desires aren’t fulfilled yet?
Homework Assignment
"The Desire Inventory"
Make 3 Lists:
God-Given Desires – What dreams or callings stir your spirit, bringing peace when you think about them?
World-Fed Thirsts – What things do you chase that leave you drained, anxious, or comparing yourself to others?
Areas of Contentment – Where in your life are you already full but maybe overlooking it?
Daily Practice (5-7 days):
Morning Prayer/Reflection Prompt: "Lord, help me desire what You desire for me. Remove every thirst that leads me away from Your peace."
Evening Journal Entry: Reflect: Did I act today out of desire or thirst? What drove my choices and thoughts?
Challenge: Choose ONE worldly thirst to fast from this week (social media, comparison, material obsession, needing approval, etc.) and intentionally replace it with something life-giving (Scripture, prayer, calling a mentor, creative time).
Desire can build you. Thirst can break you. You were not made to live parched and restless—you were made to live filled, fueled by holy desire. Desire, but do not thirst—long for righteousness, purpose, and growth, but stay rooted in divine sufficiency, not desperate lack.

Welcome everyone to the 47th episode of Professor P's Podcast. This week, I am bringing you another entrepreneurial tip. The topic for this show is THE 4-TALENTS #entrepreneurialtip
“Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee.” —Muhammad Ali, World Champion Boxer
Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. His success is directly related to his ability to think systematically, which created thought patterns and processes that attracted greatness to him. He was a very skilled and talented boxer and would out-practice anyone. As an Empowered Entrepreneur, you need to be skilled like Ali. You need to have his same work ethic. You need to understand the power of your unique frequency, which is your thought process. You need to settle for nothing less than greatness. You will need to understand your unique talents. There are four talents that are critical to being an Empowered Entrepreneur:
Imagination
Experimentation
Insight
Wisdom
When was the last time you played? I mean freely played, when your imagination just ran wild. Do you remember being a child and playing without a care in the world? There are so many benefits to playing—most importantly, the ability to heighten our imagination. When we can imagine with no self-censorship getting in the way, no pressure from the matrix telling us we are getting it wrong, we become so liberated. So much learning can be found no matter what form of play you encounter. Imagination is sparked. As an Empowered Entrepreneur, it is important you develop the talent of imagination. It opens the mind, and when the mind is open, there is no limit to what it can and will produce. Imagination also activates creativity.
I am always surprised at the number of people who believe they are not creative. Now, I understand that some people are not that crafty. I get that part, but when mothers especially tell me they are not that creative, I think to myself, How is that? You created a human, for God’s sake! Imagination and creativity open a whole new level of thinking for you. It is that key that finds solutions to problems. But do you know what blocks creativity? FEAR. Yes, fear. False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear is an emotional roadblock. Before we even get started being creative, fear pops in with self-doubt and insecurity. Then we self-censor. The mind is so powerful, but when limited, it is very weak. You must turn the self-censor off and stop dancing with your complex issue. Pick up the brush of creativity and paint your future. The Empowered Entrepreneur doesn’t predict his or her future; they imagine it. They create it.
The talent of experimentation is why scientists are so damn cool. They experiment all the time. Without experimentation, we would not have many of the inventions we have today, nor would we have the future. Thomas Edison is one of my favorite inventors of all time. Do you know how many times he failed while creating the light bulb? So many times! But it was through experiment that he finally arrived at the light bulb, and that sucker is everywhere today. You will be required in Entrepreneurship Empowered to get out of the building and or office and go experiment. Go try your product on the consumer. Go test your theory in the marketplace. Then you will know which next steps to take with your services or products. Everything in Entrepreneurship Empowered is about action and trying. When you experiment, you become open to learning about how new processes would work for your organization and ways to effectively cut costs in order to help manage cash flow. Again, there is no limit to what experimenting can do for you as you launch, manage, and grow your business.
One of the best places for you to do some experimenting is at a makerspace. A makerspace is a collaborative workspace. Co-working spaces can also be rented for start-up businesses. You will find all kinds of elements at a makerspace—from 3D printers to sewing machines. Everything from coding to the creation of art takes place in a makerspace. It is a hub for genius and creativity. You can use most of the equipment found there. You will need to learn how to use the equipment first, of course, but after that, you are good to go. If you are in my class at one of the colleges or in my virtual course, you will be introduced to our makerspace. There are makerspaces everywhere—all you have do is search online for them, and I am sure you will find one in your area. I encourage you to go explore and experiment.
A study at the University of Michigan revealed that empathy levels in our world have dropped dramatically—“College kids today are about 40 percent lower in empathy than their counterparts of 20 or 30 years ago.”3 I am so shocked at how much we just don’t care for humankind. The skill of insight is critical to life and business. The definition of insight, according to the dictionary, is “the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing.” In essence, insight is being empathic. Being able to relate and understand your clients’ needs or your customers’ needs is the golden key to maintaining their loyalty and business. Being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes will open your mind, enabling you to create better solutions for them. You may create products or services that fit their needs which were unmet prior to your solutions. This is only one of the reasons why insight is so important to have, not only as an Empowered Entrepreneur, but as a human being.
Some people who are what we call “empaths” believe they are cursed. But I am here to set the record straight: you are far from cursed. You are gifted, and we need your gift more today than ever before.
Wisdom is timeless. Many people are wise with age, and some never carry wisdom at all because they do not take time to reflect. As an Empowered Entrepreneur, I demand action. I am results-driven. But I never negate the power of reflection, and in Entrepreneurship Empowered, you must have both action and reflection in equal measure. It is in the reflection that we gain wisdom. How often do you reflect? From how your day was, to giving a presentation at work. When reflecting, it is important to have a pen and notepad available, or your computer if you like. Write it all out, from the good to the bad to the ugly. Even reflecting on the weather or season is critical. Take note of the time of day and your energy level—all very important pieces to your puzzle. To be successful in any area, you must exercise wisdom and plan carefully. If wisdom is to bring you prosperity, joy, admiration, and longevity of life, then you must be disciplined to reflect daily.
Your homework is to reflect on all that was covered in this episode. I want to hear from you too. Reach out to me and let me know how you are doing, what you discover, and where you need some additional encouragement or resources to help you. Remember to connect with me on social media.

Ep 46 Mindset Matters #Mastery

Tuesday Feb 18, 2025

Tuesday Feb 18, 2025

Welcome everyone to the 46th episode of Professor P's Podcast. After a nice winter break, I am back for the Spring Semester with a new series of episodes. I always start my season with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is MINDSET MATTERS #mastery
I know you have heard it a thousand times, but you could hear it a thousand more and still need to hear it more. Mindset matters! I teach it the most in this world. So of course, I am going to start the new year with a dose of it!
You see life through your own unique lens. This is your mindset – the assumptions and expectations you hold about yourself, your life, and the situations around you. Research shows that mindsets play a significant role in determining life’s outcomes. By understanding, adapting, and shifting your mindset, you can improve your health, decrease your stress, and become more resilient to life’s challenges.
Have you ever heard of Neuroplasticity? Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to new experiences and stimuli. It's also known as brain plasticity or neural plasticity. How neuroplasticity works 
The brain's neural networks reorganize and grow
The brain forms new neural pathways
The brain's structure, function, and connections change
When neuroplasticity occurs during development, in response to the environment, in support of learning, in response to disease, and with therapy.  The wonderful thing about it is that you get to create new pathways. But I need you to think about what you are going to stop doing and start doing to help yourself go and live a more fulfilled life. That is your homework this week. Really think about your mindset. Think about what vision you have for your life. Is your mindset helping you get there or keeping you from it?
I want you to go back and listen to my prior episodes (listed below) to help reinforce the message found in this episode.
Ep 14 The Power of I am #truthbetold
Ep 10 The Power of Your Belief Systems #mastery
Ep 2: The Power of Your Words. In Thought, Speech, and Writings. #mastery
Ep 1: Vision far enough to see; Patience enough to wait for the vision to come to pass. #mastery

Welcome everyone to the 45th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am back with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is FAITH to REST #truthbetold
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Just as our physical eyesight is the sense that gives us evidence of the material world, faith is the “sense” that gives us evidence of the invisible, spiritual world. Faith has its reasons. The Bible doesn’t recommend a “blind leap” of faith. But the reasons can’t be measured in a laboratory; they have to be understood spiritually. Faith extends beyond what we learn from our senses, and the author is saying that it has its reasons. Its tests are not those of the senses, which yield uncertainty. Physical eyesight produces a conviction or evidence of visible things; faith is the organ that enables people to see the invisible order.
Of things hoped for… of things not seen: If you have the substance before you or if you can see it, there is no use for faith. Faith is needed for what we can’t see and can’t touch. Faith does not contradict reason, though it may go beyond reason. One may objectively prove the Bible is the most unique book ever published and has impacted society more than any other book. But only faith can prove that the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore, this is a belief beyond reason but not in contradiction to reason or against reason. Faith is the substance… the evidence: Faith is not a bare belief or intellectual understanding. It is a willingness to trust in, to rely on, and to cling to.
Sarah’s faith was not perfect. She first laughed in unbelief (Genesis 18:9-15) and then she learned to laugh in faith (Genesis 21:6). Because she judged Him faithful who had promised: Faith comes down to judging that God is faithful and able to keep His promises. 
Truly walking by faith produces something beautiful in us: Rest.
"Rest and trust in the Lord" means to relinquish control and anxieties, fully relying on God's plan and provision, finding peace and comfort in knowing that He is in charge, essentially letting go of worry and surrendering to His will; this concept is often referenced in the Bible, particularly in Psalm 37:7 which says, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him"

Tuesday Nov 26, 2024

Welcome everyone to the 44th episode of Professor P's Podcast. This week I am bringing you another entrepreneurial tip. The topic for this show is KNOW your NUMBERS! #entrepreneurialtip
Managing your money and knowing your numbers are instrumental in the control and success of your business. You will need to ensure you take great care of your financial matters. It is wise to bring in help with your financial matters. Consider hiring a certified public accountant (CPA) or bookkeeper, or use an online service. A CPA will typically cost more than online services but can normally offer more tailored services for your specific business needs. A bookkeeper can provide basic day-to-day functions at a lower cost but won’t possess the formal accounting education of a CPA.
Learning how to manage your money is a must. If you don’t know how to manage your money, then you surely will not know how to manage a business’s money. Poor financial planning and managing of funds is one of the main reasons why businesses fail.
Did you know the wealthy have a language all their own? Well, they do. They understand the true meaning of assets and liabilities. They speak stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and securities. They pay attention to the flow of money not only in our country but the world. Therefore, if you are going to go from startup to success, you will need to understand the language of the wealthy.
There are a few financial reports I want you to become familiar with: the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. In the back of the book, I have given charts for you to see what each one of them looks like. The income statement is a financial report that measures the financial performance of your business on a monthly or annual basis. The income statement tells you just that: how much income (profit/loss). The balance sheet is a financial report that shows what the company owes and what it owns, including shareholders’ stake.
The balance sheet has a particular formula which, again, must be balanced. This is the fundamental accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity. The balance sheet is going to show you the big picture, help you measure the value of your business, and can serve as an early warning sign. The cash flow statement is a financial report that details the inflows and outflows of cash for a company over a set period of time. You always want to be aware of your cash flow. Cash is king. I need you all to take a managerial accounting class or a basic accounting class. You can even search on YouTube for classes that can teach you the basics.
I make all my students track their money. This is one of the best ways to figure out what is really going on with your finances. The longer you can track, the better. I have my students’ track for two weeks. However, I would say that if you can track for a month up to three months, you will have some good data. You must track it to the penny. Always keep a little book with you and don’t miss one cent. Seriously, to the penny. Once you have tracked your money, you will then need to reflect and have a come-to-Jesus moment with yourself. Now, if you are already savvy and smart with your money, that’s great; I would still ask you to see how you could level up and become even wiser. You are all my students, so now you have the homework to track your money and face the music!

Tuesday Nov 12, 2024

Welcome everyone to the 43rd episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am back with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is QUESTION your CONDITIONING #truthbetold
The definition of the condition is:
to have a significant influence on or determine (the manner or outcome of something)
train or accustom (someone or something) to behave in a certain way or to accept certain circumstances.
I am asking you all to question your conditioning—the things you were shaped by. In my ethics class, we discuss theories of how we were born. There is the theory we were born as a blank slate. There is a theory we were born with prior knowledge. There is a theory that we were born good and evil. I take the example of the blank slate and demonstrate how as we grow from birth we begin to be layered with jackets. The conditioning of our grandparents, our parents, our education, our environment, our society, and so on. Before you know it I am covered and weighted, which is how we look with the layers of conditioning that limit us in our daily lives.
It takes work to pull layers of conditioning off, but it is all worth it. It is time to stop living in a legacy of conditioning and start living in one of empowerment! This is your season to live your life. It is ok to keep the good things. Faith and character are good legacies to pass down. If you need help sorting through the good conditioning versus the bad and limiting. You can reach out to me. If you need someone to listen to you, to hold space. I am here for you. Your homework is to sit and begin to question your conditions. Think about it and begin to make a plan to break free.
“To change beliefs or perceptions about yourself or your life, you must make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of energy is greater than the hardwired programs in your brain – and the emotions conditioned in your body”. – Dr. Joe Dispenza

Tuesday Oct 29, 2024

Welcome everyone to the 42nd episode of Professor P's Podcast. This week I am bringing an entrepreneurial tip. The topic for this show is AI and ENTREPRENEURSHIP #entrepreneurialtip
AI is rapidly changing our world. I am using more of it myself. Especially since I moved to San Diego. I wanted to share my thoughts with you regarding it and entrepreneurship. I am seeing more and more of it in my college classes and as a small business owner myself as mentioned, I am starting to use it more and more.
I recently had a meeting with a leader at San Diego State and part of our discussion was on AI and how it could help me in my business. In an area I didn’t even think about. The conversation inspired this podcast today. There is a technology that doesn’t even exist yet that we need to start preparing for. We are not necessarily going to be replaced by technology but rather by those who master it. I am pushing you to learn more about it in this episode and to go and try it out if you have not done so already.
AI is the internet 2.0 and from it we will see new leaders and businesses emerge. You need to be ready to evolve as time does. From copying paper records to scanning to now process serving, I have seen technology completely transform my core industry of document retrieval. AI is going to do it again. The way I have stayed in the game as long as I have is by being a scholar of life. I am constantly learning and gaining new skill sets. I need you to do the same.
Jump into today’s episode and be ready for some fire, dropping of knowledge, and a call to action.

Tuesday Oct 15, 2024

Welcome everyone to the 41st episode of Professor P's Podcast. After a long summer break, I am back with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is the GRACE to GRIEVE #truthbetold
There can be great value to opening one’s grief. Grief is just a hallway. It is not the end. It is the darkest soul of the night. But Jesus is with us through it all. He is even moved by our grief. The same grief that stops us can motivate us to move on. Even in pain, we can make progress!!  The sun is about to rise!
I want to encourage you all. Faith isn’t a blind leap; it is a reasonable step based on strong evidence.  With faith in God and His Son, with the receiving of His Spirit and His peace, we can have an untroubled heart in a quite troubled life.
Do not put your expectations on anything other than God. You will be disappointed. But if you TRUST in the Lord He will add everything you need to you. Keep your eyes on Him! Be humble! God is your expectation and glory!  You have to walk through the process of TRUTH. You have to pull from what God has deposited inside of you. It’s all there. He designed you from the beginning with all you need.
God is growing my faith. Faith is not a mushroom that grows overnight in damp soil; it is an oak tree that grows for a thousand years under the blast of the wind and rain. Remember it’s not the power we wield, but the love in which we are held, is our proper joy. He holds us in His LOVE.  Instead of giving up when things look bad, trust the LORD and fight all the harder and decide you will not give up. Courage and persistence win many battles.  You will make it to the shore on the broken pieces and there I will find MORE.
When the branch breaks, you will not fall, because you were meant to fly. Even though gravity is set to pull us down, God has given us wings so we may fly. And when we grow tired, we can rest under His.  Trust in your wings. More so, never lose faith in His wings. When you grow tired you can rest under His wing.
Psalms 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his - faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
He will not only keep you under His wings, but He will also give fresh wind for tired wings.
If you need prayer, please reach out. I am here to serve you. But for now, I leave you with this prayer, which has been getting me through. We can only move forward in this life with GRACE my friends.
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
