Lisa Morton — How Feng Shui, Interior Design, and Intentional Living Can Transform Your Home and Your Life
2d ago00:31:58Tap to summarizeIn this inspiring episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark and Neil Haley welcome Lisa Morton, an interior designer, Feng Shui Master, and founder of Pure Living with Lisa Morton.With more than two decades of design experience—including creating luxurious private jet interiors—Lisa now helps people transform their homes into spaces that support their emotional well-being, personal goals, and everyday lives. Combining intuitive interior design with the ancient principles of Feng Shui, she believes a home should do far more than look beautiful—it should help you thrive.Lisa began her career designing interiors for multi-million-dollar private aircraft, traveling the world while working with elite clientele.Although it was her dream job, years of demanding schedules eventually led to severe burnout.Leaving the aviation industry became the beginning of a personal healing journey that included meditation, yoga, healthier living, and eventually discovering the profound influence that physical spaces have on emotional wellness.That experience inspired Lisa to study Feng Shui, earning multiple certifications before becoming a Feng Shui Master Teacher.Today, she combines professional design expertise with Feng Shui principles to help clients create homes that support both beauty and balance.One of Lisa's core beliefs is simple:Your home is a mirror of your life.The colors, furniture, artwork, lighting, organization, and even the way energy moves throughout a home often reflect what's happening emotionally and mentally.She explains that many clients don't contact her because their homes are unattractive.Instead, they're experiencing major life transitions, including:MarriageStarting a familyMoving into a new homeCareer changesDivorceIllnessGrief and lossRetirementBy intentionally adjusting their environment, Lisa helps clients feel more supported during these important seasons of life.Lisa addresses many common misconceptions about Feng Shui.Rather than rigid rules or mystical traditions, she views Feng Shui as a practical framework for creating spaces that encourage balance, peace, creativity, and personal growth.Her philosophy blends timeless Feng Shui principles with realistic interior design solutions tailored to each individual.Instead of insisting on strict formulas, she encourages clients to create homes that genuinely fit their personalities and lifestyles.No two homes should look exactly alike.Lisa believes successful design begins by understanding how each person wants to feel inside their home.Some people crave:CalmSimplicityOrganizationQuiet spacesOthers thrive in environments filled with:Family activityBold colorsCreative energySocial gatheringsRather than chasing design trends, Lisa encourages people to create spaces that support the life they actually live.Lisa explains how Feng Shui incorporates five natural elements:WoodFireEarthMetalWaterEach element influences different emotions and experiences.For today's fast-paced lifestyles, she especially recommends incorporating more Earth elements, including:Beige and warm neutral colorsNatural stoneWood texturesClay potteryLandscape artworkNatural materialsThese features help create a greater sense of grounding, stability, and peace within a home.One of Lisa's simplest—but most impactful—recommendations is paying attention to the front entrance.In Feng Shui, the front door is considered the "Mouth of Qi," or the primary place where energy enters the home.She encourages homeowners to:Keep the entrance unclutteredEnsure house numbers are easy to seeAdd welcoming flowers or greeneryKeep pathways cleanMake the entry invitingActually use the front door regularly, even if the garage is the primary entranceA welcoming entrance not only creates a positive first impression but also symbolizes openness to new opportunities.

1w ago00:21:50Tap to summarizeIn this insightful episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark and Neil Haley welcome Jason Fishman, Founder and CEO of DNA (Digital Niche Agency), a leading growth marketing firm specializing in investor acquisition and capital raising for startups, emerging technologies, and innovative companies.Jason shares how his agency has carved out a unique niche in helping growth-stage businesses raise millions of dollars through investment crowdfunding while leveraging cutting-edge marketing strategies, artificial intelligence, and social proof to build investor confidence.Every successful marketing agency eventually discovers where it creates the greatest impact.For Jason Fishman, that niche became investor acquisition.After working with hundreds of growth-stage companies, he realized many startups struggled with one common challenge:Raising capital.Rather than offering generalized marketing services, Digital Niche Agency focused on helping companies attract accredited and retail investors through highly targeted digital campaigns.Today, the agency has supported more than 500 investment campaigns across numerous industries, including one of its fastest-growing specialties—AI and robotics companies.Jason explains that many entrepreneurs are unfamiliar with the different fundraising options available today.He outlines several important SEC exemptions that allow businesses to legally market investment opportunities:Regulation D (Rule 506) for accredited investorsRegulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) for both accredited and non-accredited investorsRegulation A+, allowing companies to raise significantly larger amounts of capitalUnlike traditional crowdfunding platforms that reward supporters with products or merchandise, investment crowdfunding allows individuals to become actual shareholders in a company.This creates a powerful advantage.Investors become long-term advocates for the businesses they support.One of the biggest themes throughout the conversation is trust.Jason explains that asking someone to invest thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars requires far more than a great website.Potential investors look for evidence that others believe in the opportunity.That includes:Customer testimonialsMedia coveragePodcast interviewsIndustry recognitionInfluencer supportExisting investor participationThought leadershipThe more credibility a company builds, the easier it becomes for new investors to take action.One of Jason's favorite aspects of investment crowdfunding is what happens after someone invests.Unlike traditional advertising, investors often become passionate advocates for the companies they support.They naturally begin:Sharing company newsPromoting updates on social mediaTalking about the business with friends and colleaguesIntroducing potential customersHelping spread awareness organicallyJason describes this as one of the most powerful forms of marketing available because every investor has a personal stake in the company's success.Digital Niche Agency has become particularly active in the rapidly expanding AI and robotics sector.Jason discusses one recent campaign that successfully raised $65 million, attracting more than 20,000 investors.Working with emerging technology companies requires marketers to translate highly technical innovations into clear, compelling stories that investors can understand.As AI continues reshaping nearly every industry, companies need marketing strategies that simplify complex technologies while demonstrating long-term value.Many startup founders believe they have groundbreaking products.Jason agrees that innovation is important—but reminds entrepreneurs that even the best ideas require disciplined marketing.His team focuses heavily on:Audience targeting

1w ago00:26:37Tap to summarizeIn this fascinating episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark and Neil Haley welcome Troy Hillman, a retired Phoenix Police Department homicide sergeant, former Certified Public Accountant (CPA), cold case investigator, consultant, and author of Chasing the Zombie Hunter.Troy shares one of the most unusual career paths imaginable—leaving a promising future in corporate accounting to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a police officer. That decision ultimately led him to solve some of Arizona's most complex cold cases while pioneering the use of investigative technologies that helped shape modern homicide investigations.Before wearing a badge, Troy had already built an impressive academic and professional résumé.He earned:Certified Public Accountant (CPA)MBA in FinanceMaster's Degree in Educational LeadershipWorking for one of Chicago's premier accounting firms, Troy was viewed as future partner material.Then he made a decision that stunned everyone around him.He walked into the managing partner's office and announced he was leaving accounting to become a police officer in Phoenix.Friends.Family.Colleagues.Everyone thought he was making a mistake.For Troy, however, accounting simply wasn't his calling.He wanted challenges.He wanted investigations.He wanted to solve puzzles.After joining the Phoenix Police Department, Troy initially worked in financial crimes, where his accounting background became a tremendous advantage.Investigating fraud, identity theft, and financial crimes allowed him to combine analytical thinking with investigative work.Eventually, after being promoted to sergeant, an unexpected opportunity changed his career forever.The department's homicide leadership asked Troy to help reorganize and improve the struggling Cold Case Unit.That assignment became his life's work.Troy compares cold case investigations to searching for hidden objects inside a complex picture.The clues already exist.The challenge is discovering what everyone else missed.Unlike active investigations, cold cases often have:Thousands of pages of reportsMultiple previous investigatorsYears or decades of evidenceDead endsChanging technologyMissing witnessesThe detective's job is to organize the information, rebuild the timeline, and identify overlooked opportunities.Fresh eyes often uncover details that had been hiding in plain sight for years.When Troy entered Phoenix's Cold Case Unit, he encountered an astonishing challenge.The department believed it had approximately 2,500 unsolved homicide cases.Even determining the exact number became an enormous project.Drawing upon his CPA background, Troy helped organize, catalog, and modernize the unit's investigative process.His systematic approach brought structure to thousands of unresolved investigations while creating more efficient ways to prioritize and review cases.One of Troy's proudest accomplishments involved helping pioneer the use of investigative genetic genealogy in homicide investigations.Years before the technique gained worldwide attention through the Golden State Killer investigation, Phoenix detectives were already exploring how genealogy could identify unknown suspects.Troy explains that his team recognized the enormous investigative potential of combining DNA evidence with genealogy databases.The success of these early efforts helped demonstrate how emerging technologies could dramatically improve the ability to solve decades-old murders.Neil Haley and Troy discuss how artificial intelligence may completely transform future investigations.AI has the potential to rapidly analyze:Thousands of investigative reportsCrime scene documentsWitness interviewsEvidence logsPhotographsHistorical case files
Transcribe →Carlos Rodriguez — Exposing Child Exploitation, Supporting Investigators, and Protecting the Next Generation
2w ago00:29:18Tap to summarizeIn this powerful and eye-opening episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark and Neil Haley welcome Carlos "Los" Rodriguez, a retired Washington State Patrol detective sergeant, former FBI Task Force Officer, author, and nationally recognized expert on crimes against children and human trafficking.Drawing from decades of frontline investigative experience, Carlos shares the realities of combating child exploitation, the emotional cost carried by investigators, and why communities must become more educated about protecting vulnerable children.Carlos explains that his journey into investigating crimes against children wasn't originally planned.After serving in multiple law enforcement roles, an opportunity arose to join Washington State's Missing and Exploited Children's Task Force. Initially unfamiliar with the unit's mission, he quickly realized it focused on proactively identifying offenders, investigating cyber crimes, and rescuing child victims.Once he participated in his first search warrant involving child exploitation, he knew his career had found its purpose.Despite operating with extremely limited staffing and resources, Carlos and his team built partnerships that dramatically expanded their impact across Washington State.One of the most sobering moments of the conversation centers on how accessible child predators have become through modern technology.Carlos explains that many offenders no longer operate in hidden corners of the internet. Instead, they often use everyday online platforms and messaging services to target vulnerable children.Through proactive undercover operations, investigators routinely encountered individuals attempting to exploit minors, revealing just how widespread the problem has become.The discussion serves as a reminder that online safety requires constant vigilance from parents, educators, and communities.Carlos openly discusses something rarely addressed publicly—the psychological impact on investigators.He describes how law enforcement officers often develop the ability to compartmentalize horrific experiences in order to continue protecting victims and completing investigations.While this skill allows officers to function professionally, unprocessed trauma can eventually surface long after the work has ended.Carlos encourages investigators to recognize emotional warning signs early, seek support, and build healthy routines before stress becomes overwhelming.Rather than simply pushing through difficult assignments, Carlos believes agencies should intentionally create opportunities for recovery.Some of the practices he implemented included:Building decompression time into investigators' schedulesRotating emotionally difficult assignmentsEncouraging conversations among teammatesSupporting therapy and mental wellnessHelping officers transition mentally before returning home to their familiesHis message is simple:You cannot effectively protect others if you fail to care for yourself.Carlos discusses his book:The Ugly Underneath: Navigating the Emotional Toll of Investigating Crimes Against ChildrenOriginally written from personal therapy notes, the book evolved into an honest account of:Life before law enforcementWorking child exploitation investigationsThe hidden emotional burden investigators carryTrauma recoveryMental wellness for first respondersLessons learned from years protecting childrenThe book serves both as a resource for law enforcement professionals and as an educational guide for families seeking to better understand the realities behind these investigations.Today, Carlos serves as an Internal Investigator for the San Diego Unified School District, where he continues protecting children through prevention and education.Working alongside multidisciplinary partners, he has helped develop programs that include:

2w ago00:29:53Tap to summarizeIn this energetic and entertaining episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark and Neil Haley welcome members of Flashpoint, one of Upstate South Carolina’s most exciting live rock bands.Joining the conversation are lead vocalist Brian Goodlett, bassist and vocalist Carl Barnard, drummer Alex Pappas, and founding member Jeff Tewell. Guitarist and founding member Tim Howe was unable to join the interview but remains an essential part of the Flashpoint sound.Known for classic rock, 1980s and 1990s favorites, audience participation, and full-throttle performances, Flashpoint follows a simple philosophy:All gas. No brakes. Leave nothing in the tank.Jeff and Tim formed the foundation of Flashpoint around 2018 after previously performing together in another band.Over time, the lineup evolved until the current five-member group came together. Brian has been with Flashpoint for nearly five years, while the complete lineup has performed together for approximately four years.Carl joined after responding to a message through BandMix and successfully auditioning for the band.Alex entered the group after Carl suggested him as a possible drummer. Following an extensive audition process, Alex arrived prepared to perform some of the band’s more challenging material.It didn’t take long for Brian to recognize the chemistry.After only a few songs, Brian walked over, shook Alex’s hand, and told him he was in.Brian brings commanding vocals, nonstop stage energy, and the ability to read an audience in real time. He frequently adjusts the set list based on the crowd’s response.Carl provides the powerful low end, additional vocals, a rehearsal studio, and the preparation needed to keep the group operating professionally.Alex delivers an intense, physical drumming style that helps drive the band’s full-throttle sound.Jeff helped establish Flashpoint and emphasizes professionalism, audience engagement, chemistry, and respect among the musicians.Although absent from the interview, Tim is described as an exceptionally skilled guitarist with a phenomenal ear and an unmatched commitment to practicing his craft.The members describe themselves as “musical lifers.”Even when they try to step away from performing, the desire to return eventually becomes impossible to ignore.For Flashpoint, music is more than a hobby.It is:Creative expressionTherapyEscapeConnectionBrotherhoodA way to bring joy to othersThe band agrees that rehearsing in a garage is not enough. Live music becomes complete when performers can exchange energy with an audience.Flashpoint is not interested in simply standing on stage and playing through a predetermined list.Their shows are built around interaction.The musicians make eye contact, move through the crowd, encourage singing and dancing, and adjust the performance based on the room’s energy.Brian often changes songs in the middle of a show using the band’s secret audible:When the members hear it, they know the next song on the printed set list has been replaced by something unexpected.That ability to pivot keeps every Flashpoint performance fresh, spontaneous, and connected to the audience.Despite their different personalities and musical influences, Flashpoint’s members share tremendous respect for one another.Each musician learns his part before rehearsal, allowing the group to focus on making everything fit together rather than teaching individual sections.During one recent rehearsal, the band successfully worked through seven new songs in a single session because everyone arrived fully prepared.Brian explains that as the frontman, he must trust that the musicians behind him will be exactly where he needs them—especially when he throws unexpected changes into the show.
Transcribe →Jody Corbet — Understanding True Blessings, Spiritual Discernment, and the Difference Between God's Gifts and the World's Temptations
2w ago00:24:21Tap to summarizeIn this thought-provoking episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark, Neil Haley, and Bible teacher Jody Corbet explore a question every believer eventually faces:What is a true blessing?While many people immediately associate blessings with money, success, possessions, or opportunity, Jody challenges listeners to think much deeper about where blessings come from—and whether every opportunity that appears good actually comes from God.🌟 What Is a Blessing?The discussion begins with Neil and Sherrie sharing personal experiences where disappointment eventually revealed itself as God's protection.Sherrie recalls multiple homes that unexpectedly fell through before purchasing the one that ultimately became the perfect place for her family.Looking back, what first appeared to be unanswered prayers became obvious examples of God's guidance.Neil reflects on life's difficult moments, explaining that many blessings only become visible through hindsight. Situations that once felt like failure often become stepping stones toward something far greater than originally imagined.The conversation emphasizes that blessings aren't always immediately recognizable.Sometimes they arrive disguised as disappointment.🙏 Different Types of BlessingsJody outlines several kinds of blessings people often overlook:Financial provisionHomes and material resourcesHealthy relationshipsPhysical healthRest and peaceProtection from unseen harm"Unrealized blessings" that only become clear over timeRather than measuring blessings solely by possessions, he encourages listeners to recognize everyday gifts that are often taken for granted.🏡 Sometimes "No" Is God's Greatest BlessingOne of the episode's recurring themes is that unanswered prayers may actually be divine protection.A closed door.A delayed opportunity.A relationship that ends.A job that never materializes.These moments may initially feel painful but often reveal God's greater plan later.As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds believers, God not only desires to bless His people but also to protect them from harm.⚠️ Can Every Blessing Really Come From God?The conversation then shifts into one of the episode's most challenging biblical discussions.Jody examines Christ's temptation in the wilderness from Matthew 4 and Luke 4, where Satan offers Jesus power, authority, and the kingdoms of the world in exchange for worship.This raises an important spiritual question:Can every attractive opportunity actually be trusted?Jody argues that while every good gift ultimately comes from God, Scripture also warns that temptation can appear attractive, profitable, and even convincing if it draws people away from God's will.The discussion emphasizes the importance of spiritual discernment when evaluating success, influence, and opportunity.👑 Abram's Example of DiscernmentUsing Genesis 14, Jody highlights Abram's encounter with Melchizedek, the king and priest of Salem.After defeating multiple kings and rescuing Lot, Abram receives an offer from the king of Sodom to keep all the captured wealth.Instead, Abram refuses.He wants no one to say that earthly rulers made him wealthy.His trust remains firmly in God's provision alone.

Jun 2200:24:55Tap to summarizeHow vulnerable are you online—and do you even know it?In this eye-opening episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast simulcast with The Neil Haley Show, cybersecurity expert, bestselling author, professional speaker, and strategic human firewall architect Robert Siciliano joins Sherrie and Neil for a powerful conversation about cybersecurity, identity theft, online scams, digital literacy, personal protection, and the growing threats facing individuals and businesses today. Robert has appeared on major media outlets including CNN, Fox News, CNBC, Anderson Cooper 360, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and The New York Times. Drawing from decades of experience in personal security, cybercrime awareness, and risk management, he explains why cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated—and why most people remain far more vulnerable than they realize. At the center of the conversation is Robert’s concept of the Strategic Human Firewall, a mindset that teaches people how to recognize deception, verify information, and become the first line of defense against cyber threats. Rather than relying solely on technology, Robert argues that awareness, critical thinking, and situational awareness are the most important security tools available. Topics covered in this episode include:What a Strategic Human Firewall isWhy cybercriminals target human behaviorThe psychology behind scams and fraudIdentity theft prevention strategiesPassword security best practicesWhy two-factor authentication is essentialHow hackers exploit trust and human natureThe rise of organized cybercrimeWhy cybercrime now generates more money than many traditional criminal enterprisesProtecting personal and business informationThe importance of cybersecurity awareness trainingUnderstanding the “human blind spot”Situational awareness in the digital worldRecognizing phishing emails and fraudulent text messagesCredit freezes and identity protectionHow data breaches affect everyday consumersWhy email security is criticalVPNs and protecting yourself on public Wi-FiSocial engineering attacksRisk management for businesses and individualsThe future of cybersecurity and digital literacyOne of the most fascinating parts of the discussion centers around the idea that human beings are naturally wired to trust one another. Robert explains how cybercriminals exploit this biological and psychological tendency, using carefully crafted scams designed to bypass logic and trigger emotional responses. He introduces the concept of the human blind spot—the natural instinct to trust—which often leads otherwise intelligent people to click malicious links, open fraudulent emails, share sensitive information, or fall victim to identity theft. Rather than blaming victims, Robert emphasizes that cybercriminals use advanced psychological manipulation techniques that can fool almost anyone under the right circumstances. The conversation also explores practical cybersecurity habits that everyone should implement immediately, including:Using unique passwords for every accountUtilizing password managersEnabling two-factor authenticationMonitoring personal informationFreezing credit reportsProtecting email accountsUsing VPNs while traveling or on public networksVerifying suspicious communications before respondingRobert explains why these simple steps dramatically reduce risk and make individuals significantly harder targets for cybercriminals. Another key topic is organizational cybersecurity. Robert discusses why companies of all sizes need ongoing security awareness training and why employee education remains one of the most effective defenses against cyberattacks. He encourages leaders to move beyond basic awareness and develop what he calls security appreciation, where people actively value and practice security in both their professional and personal lives.
