In December 1955, the menacing red phone on Air Force Col. Harry Shoup’s desk rang. But it wasn’t the Pentagon – no four-star general either. It was a tiny voice asking for Santa Claus. What happened next would kick off one of Colorado’s most-beloved Christmas traditions.

The land of Gandhi is also the land of the war-elephant, of gunpowder-wielding infantry, and of nuclear weapons that destroy everything in their wake.In Yuddha, Anirudh Kanisetti (host of Echoes of India: A History Podcast) and Aditya Ramanathan explore the darker, blood-splattered side of India, beyond Bollywood and school textbooks.

I'm Lise Kuecker, a long time Studio Owner turned founder here at Studio Grow. Just a few years ago, I was building my studios the hard way cause I didn't have the team, the budget, or most importantly the time. If you speed up to today, I sold my wildly profitable studios in the mid-7 figures while serving my community in ways I could have only dreamed. Now, I work with thousands of boutique fitness studio owners in over 40 countries and am so blessed to share some of the best tested strategies for our industry every single week.

Every Step of the Way
Every Step of the Way
Is a discussion forum podcast hosted by a group of twelve brothers that share scriptures, share the gospel, and tie it into real life situations. The idea for this show got started by a Facebook post that was exchanged by two members. The show originally began exclusively on Facebook live and quickly started to gain traction. With the Show popularity growing, the number of group members rose from 3 to 12. In February 2021, (three months before the show’s 1 year anniversary), the group was approached with the idea about becoming a Podcast. In the spring of 2021, Every Step of the Way Bible Discussions officially became a Podcast and is now a part of the Vision Live Network. The show airs once a week on Wednesdays at 8pm and is now available everywhere Podcast can be found.
