Today's guest is Quintin Torres, a strength and performance coach specializing in Marinovich/Heus inspired training methods. With a background in martial arts, Quintin focuses on movement quality, coordination, and individualized methods that help athletes build strength that truly transfers to sport. So often in athletic development, it is only the “hard” or easily quantifiable qualities that we look to develop. Although these are vital, sport itself (even output sports) live “in between the cracks” of maximal outputs, and then movement quality. Training rarely looks to infuse a full spectrum of athletic qualities, yet programming such as that put forth by Marv Marinovich years ago, does capture many of these dynamics. On today's show, Quintin and I explore the Marinovich nervous system training philosophy, contrasting “soft” qualities like reactivity, rhythm, coordination, and perception with traditional hard metrics such as max strength. We discuss why MMA has embraced these methods, the limits of barbell-centric programming, and the importance of observation, experimentation, and individualized coaching. The conversation emphasizes training transfer to sport, creativity, and maintaining athlete adaptability, longevity, and engagement beyond chasing isolated numbers.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:00 – Quintin's background and entry into nervous system training 6:18 – Why Marinovich methods resonate in MMA 10:04 – Soft qualities versus hard qualities in performance 16:11 – Assessment driven training and athlete context 27:05 – One on one coaching versus group models 31:41 – Training quality, group size, and real world constraints 40:12 – Foot strength, barefoot work, and bottom up thinking 1:13:09 – Strength without compression and alternative tools 1:25:55 – Manual resistance and simple coaching tools 1:27:41 – Teaching, sharing, and coaching philosophy Actionable Takeaways Nervous system training priorities Train soft qualities like rhythm, timing, coordination, and fluidity with the same intent as maximal strength. Recognize that many performance qualities cannot be easily measured, but still decide outcomes in sport. Do not confuse testing well in the weight room with performing well in competition. Why MMA accelerates innovation High consequences in MMA force athletes and coaches to evaluate training effectiveness honestly. One on one competition allows clearer cause and effect between training and performance. Customization is easier when the athlete's output is fully visible and isolated. Assessment over templates Let observable movement qualities guide training choices rather than fixed programs. Consider genetic tendencies such as stiffness, elasticity, and coordination when designing training. Adjust tools and methods to the athlete instead of forcing athletes into a system. Soft and hard qualities integration Maximal strength still matters, but it should not destroy elasticity or coordination. Avoid becoming overly concentric dominant and losing reactive qualities. Balance force production with tendon health and nervous system adaptability. Group training realities Large group settings limit how much individual correction is possible. Use simple movements and constraints when training many athletes at once. Accept logistical realities while still trying to preserve movement quality. Foot and ground based training Treat the foot as a strong and adaptable structure, not a fragile one. Use harder surfaces and direct loading to stimulate neural input from the ground up. Understand that the feet heavily influence the nervous system and movement outcomes. Alternative strength tools Use flywheels, isokinetic tools, and manual resistance to reduce compressive stress. Achieve high neural drive without excessive spinal loading. Match resistance dynamically to the athlete's output. Manual resistance and coaching feel Hands and simple tools can outperform expensive machines in many cases. Manual resistance allows precise matching of effort and intent. Coaching feel and feedback are critical skills, not outdated practices. Quotes from Quintin Torres “The primary difference is we prioritize the development of soft qualities just as much as hard qualities.” “We do not need you better at training. We need you better at your sport.” “Barbell does not equal maximal strength. It is just one tool on the force velocity curve.” “As the quantity of athletes goes down, the quality of training can go up.” “Your feet are not fragile. They are designed to take abuse.” “There is no strength machine better than your own hands.” “A lot of what people call talent is just qualities we do not know how to measure yet.” “Results matter more when the consequences are real.” About Quintin Torres Quintin Torres is a strength and performance coach with a deep background in mixed martial arts and combat sports. A former competitive MMA athlete, he specializes in nervous system–driven training methods influenced by the Marinovich system, emphasizing reactivity, coordination, and movement quality alongside strength. Quintin works closely with fighters and athletes to individualize training based on biomechanics, perception, and sport demands, helping them build resilient, adaptable performance that transfers directly to competition.

KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Ukraine stands ready to agree on security guarantees based on NATO Article 5 as a part of a compromise in the peace process, the Ukrinform news agency reported.基辅——据乌克兰国家通讯社报道，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周日表示，作为和平进程中达成妥协的一部分，乌克兰已准备好接受以北约《第五条款》为基础的安全保障安排。"From the very beginning, Ukraine's desire was to join NATO, these are real security guarantees. Some partners from the United States and Europe did not support this direction," he told reporters.他在接受记者采访时表示：“从一开始，乌克兰的目标就是加入北约，因为那才是真正的安全保障。但来自美国和欧洲的一些伙伴并不支持这一方向。”"Article 5-like guarantees from the United States and from European partners, as well as from other countries — Canada, Japan ... would provide an opportunity to prevent another arrival of Russian troops," Zelensky said, adding, "It is already a compromise on our part."泽连斯基说：“来自美国、欧洲伙伴以及其他国家——如加拿大、日本等——的‘类似第五条款的保障'，将有助于防止俄罗斯军队再次进入乌克兰。”他补充说：“这本身已经是我们作出的妥协。”Zelensky said he was not yet ready to disclose specific details of the proposed security guarantees, saying they would be known in a day or two.泽连斯基表示，目前尚不便披露拟议安全保障的具体细节，相关内容可能在一两天内公布。Zelensky arrived in Berlin on Sunday afternoon for talks with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other European leaders.泽连斯基于周日下午抵达柏林，将与德国总理弗里德里希·默茨及其他欧洲领导人举行会谈。German newspaper Bild reported that Zelensky may also hold talks with representatives of US President Donald Trump, but did not elaborate further.德国《图片报》报道称，泽连斯基还可能与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的代表进行会谈，但未透露更多细节。NATO Article 5北约《第五条款》（集体防御条款）Compromise[ˈkɒmprəmaɪz]妥协security guarantees安全保障disclose details披露细节news agency通讯社

In Matthew 8:19–22 and Luke 9:57–62, Jesus exposes the excuses people use to avoid true discipleship. Some want comfort. Others want delay. Others want divided loyalty. Jesus responds with sobering clarity. Following Him is not convenient, conditional, or secondary. Discipleship demands urgency, priority, and total allegiance. This passage confronts halfhearted commitment and reminds us that excuses may sound reasonable to people, but they do not work with Jesus. The call to follow Him is immediate, costly, and nonnegotiable.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.In today's Stoic Quotes edition, we explore a powerful passage from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 11.16:“Why is it so hard when things go against you? If it is imposed by nature, accept it gladly and stop fighting. And if not, work out what your own nature requires and aim at that… None of us is forbidden to pursue our own good.”Marcus invites us to examine why unexpected events unsettle us so deeply. His answer is simple but demanding: if something follows from the natural order of things, resisting it only creates frustration. And if the difficulty doesn't come from nature itself but from our own value judgments and desires, then our task is to return to what our own nature requires, the pursuit of virtue, clarity, and good character.This passage points directly to the heart of Stoic freedom. What harms us is not the event but the judgment we attach to it. Marcus reminds himself that externals merely “hover before us,” without the power to determine our perception. Our beliefs and attitudes do that. And because they are ours, we can change them.Stoicism becomes clearer when we apply this to our own lives. Many of the things that upset us do so because they collide with external desires, the career we want, the praise we seek, the outcomes we imagine. When those things fail, we call it “misfortune,” even though the true good was always in our character, not in the result.Practical reflections for your day:• When something unpleasant happens, pause and ask: “Is this from nature, or from my expectation?”• Break the situation into its simple parts, what actually occurred versus the story you attached to it.• Shift your focus from external outcomes to internal excellence: “What is the virtuous thing for me to do right now?”These small shifts make the Stoic path real, not theoretical. They help you respond with steadiness instead of frustration, clarity instead of confusion, and purpose instead of reactivity.For more, check out this related article with quotes on acceptance and perspective:https://viastoica.com/how-to-practice-stoic-acceptance-of-what-is/And if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quotesMake sure to subscribe for more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: badmic.com

The Momentum Equation: Why Effort Alone Won't Grow Your Cash PT Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny Matta uses a simple physics concept—momentum—to explain why some cash practices take off and others stall out. He breaks down his "business momentum equation" (effort × accuracy), shows why hard work on the wrong things keeps you stuck, and explains how to aim your effort at the right tasks so your clinic actually moves forward. Quick Ask If this episode helps you see your business more clearly, share it with another clinician who's grinding but not gaining traction—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary Physics meets practice: Danny borrows the momentum formula (mass × velocity) and adapts it to business. The new equation: In business, momentum = effort × accuracy. Effort isn't the issue: Most cash PT owners work hard; the problem is where that effort goes. Accuracy is the multiplier: Working on the right tasks, in the right order, is what creates real momentum. Wrong work, no progress: You can row 80 hours a week and still go in circles if your strategy is off. Foundations first: Just like rehab progressions, business skills must be built in sequence. Clarity relieves stress: Knowing "what's next" eliminates the anxiety of guessing your way forward. Get help when stuck: Coaching and proven frameworks improve accuracy and speed up results. Lessons & Takeaways Momentum is earned: It shows up when focused effort stacks on top of clear priorities. Hard work isn't rare: What's rare is hard work applied to the right problems. Sequence matters: Don't skip from "no leads" to "advanced funnels" without basic sales and marketing skills. Self-awareness is a skill: Admitting what you don't know is the first step to changing your results. Help = faster, safer growth: Guidance reduces mistakes when your business is how you feed your family. Mindset & Motivation Stop blaming effort: If you're already grinding, your problem is almost always accuracy, not hustle. Reframe "stuck" as mis-aimed: Feeling stalled usually means your work is pointed at the wrong targets. Accept that it's hard: Building a clinic that changes your life is supposed to be difficult—and that's why it's meaningful. Decisiveness beats drift: Endless learning with no action is purgatory; pick a plan and move. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Audit your week: List your tasks and circle only the ones that directly drive revenue, retention, or referrals. Kill "busy work": Offload or eliminate tasks that don't move you toward your goals. Set one main target: Focus your effort on a single primary objective for the next 90 days. Use tech to free capacity: Tools like Claire can take documentation off your plate so you can work on higher-value projects. Get outside eyes: A coach or advisor can quickly spot where your accuracy is off and help redirect your effort. Notable Quotes "Momentum in business isn't mass × velocity—it's effort × accuracy." "Most entrepreneurs aren't lazy. They're just rowing hard in the wrong direction." "If nothing changes, nothing changes. Learning without implementation doesn't move your life forward." "The stress comes from not knowing if you're doing the right things, not from hard work itself." Action Items Review your last two weeks and identify where most of your effort is going. Circle 2–3 tasks that truly drive growth (new evals, follow-ups, referrals, key projects). Eliminate or delegate at least one "busy" task that doesn't impact revenue or retention. Define your next 90-day priority and align your calendar to it. Schedule a strategy call with PT Biz to get a second set of eyes on where your effort and accuracy are misaligned.

Chinese medicine may help explain why stored trauma causes old patterns to resurface when we least expect it. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Lorne Brown, a leader in integrative reproductive health and Chinese medicine who brings 25 years of clinical experience to the conversation. We explore the concept of qi stagnation and how it aligns with chronic functional freeze. Dr. Brown explains why the body stores overwhelming experiences in layers as a survival mechanism, and why that strategy begins to unravel around midlife when our resources shift. If you're in perimenopause or menopause and noticing old symptoms or emotions stirring again, this conversation offers a new lens for understanding what the body is trying to communicate. In this episode you'll learn: [00:02:00] The Body's Layered Storage System: How Chinese medicine understands stored trauma as a three-layer defense mechanism designed to protect our vital organs [00:05:30] Why Around Age 40, Everything Changes: The body stops using resources to suppress stored energy and begins asking us to finally process it [00:08:00] Perimenopause as a Tipping Point: Why hormone fluctuations shrink our window of tolerance and reveal what we've been holding [00:11:32] The Second Spring: Chinese medicine's perspective on menopause as a spiritual awakening where resources redirect to the heart center [00:13:24] Qi Stagnation & Functional Freeze: The connection between stuck energy and chronic patterns of protection in the nervous system [00:17:00] The Radio Metaphor: How emotions are meant to move through us like a song, and what happens when we hit repeat [00:21:14] When Healed Trauma Returns: Why perimenopause can bring back symptoms and emotions we thought we'd resolved [00:28:40] Safety as the Foundation: Why Chinese medicine agrees that creating safety is the essential first step for allowing stagnation to move [00:34:44] Sound, Laser & Frequency Medicine: Tools that bypass the mind and work directly with the cells and nervous system [00:43:07] Notice, Accept, Choose Again: Dr. Brown's NAC process for metabolizing uncomfortable feelings and restoring flow Main Takeaways Emotions are the number one cause of disease in Chinese medicine. The classic Stored trauma is intelligent, not broken. The body stores overwhelming experiences to protect us. This isn't a fault—it's a brilliant survival mechanism that keeps strong emotions from reaching vital organs where serious disease develops. Around age 40, the body changes its strategy. Resources that once kept difficult experiences suppressed get redirected toward longevity. The body essentially says: "You're not four anymore. It's time to deal with this." Perimenopause reveals capacity gaps. Hormone fluctuations create internal stress. If our window of tolerance is already narrow, perimenopause shrinks it further—and stored patterns surface as symptoms. Qi stagnation is functional freeze. When we resist, suppress, or fight what we feel, energy gets stuck in tissues. When we allow feelings to move through us, we restore flow and health. Safety creates the conditions for release. Without felt safety, the body contracts and stagnation deepens. Creating safety—through breath, movement, acupuncture, sound—allows the system to finally let go. The healing journey is ongoing. If something still triggers a somatic response, there's more work to do. This isn't failure—it's an opportunity to clean up the system and restore flow. Notable Quotes "It's not always the situation that causes the experience inside. It's how you perceive it." "When we're children, we don't have the capacity to process and metabolize these strong emotions. But as we get older, the body eventually says, you need to deal with this." "It's in the name—emotion. Energy in motion. So emotions are you feeling the flow of qi in your body." "You have to feel it to heal it. And if you resist it, it persists." "I don't care if you've worked it a million times. If it still has a somatic response, that's your message from your body that you get to work it one million and one times." Episode Takeaway This conversation gave me language for something I've felt in my own body for years. Dr. Brown's explanation of why the body stores overwhelming experiences in layers—and why it eventually stops spending resources to keep them hidden—makes so much sense when I think about what happens around midlife. For so long, I resisted my own freeze response. I hated it. I didn't want to accept it or feel it. And yet it was always there, waiting for me. What I've come to understand, and what Dr. Brown articulates so beautifully through the lens of Chinese medicine, is that resistance creates stagnation. Fighting what we feel amplifies it. The invitation here isn't to dig up the past or analyze every event. It's simpler than that: when something surfaces, can we notice it without taking it personally? Can we let it move through rather than hitting repeat? Our body has been protecting us brilliantly. Now it's asking us to finally tend to what it's been holding.

In this episode of Mind Pilot, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps addresses the unique friction that occurs when two "Type-A" personalities share a life.For first responders and veterans, "winning" is often a survival mechanism—but applying that same urgency to household chores can be disastrous for a relationship. Dr. Jana breaks down why you are hard-wired to win, why it's okay for your spouse to have a different opinion, and how to shift your goal from "winning the argument" to "resolving the issue." Tune in for practical advice on how to navigate the small battles—like the dishwasher and toothpaste—so you don't lose the war for your marriage.Topics CoveredLeave command presence at work: Giving orders works on the job, but it doesn't translate to a healthy partnership.Shift from winning to resolving: Winning the skirmish often means losing the war; focus on the solution, not the victory.Accept different opinions: Unless it is a life-or-death scenario, it is okay for your partner to do things differently.Gamify the small stuff: Turn petty irritations—like how to load the dishwasher—into a playful dynamic rather than a fight.Don't communicate while angry: You cannot resolve issues when you are heated; take a break to avoid unnecessary power struggles.Support the show

I certainly don't believe it or agreed to it. If you allow people to treat you badly they will and most won't care nothing about the Jesus you think you love. You'te the one who teach others that they can mistreat you! Waiting for someone to change you may be waiting forever! A proven way to know if you love yourself is look at how you allow yourself to be treated by your significant other and other people! God loves us unconditionally but despite the love if necessary He will chastise you and if necessary will turn you over to a repobate mind! In other words He's not playing with any of us! Don't let people abuse, misuse, or do you wrong in the name of what you perceive as love.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Most 20-somethings are still figuring out their first job. Noah Tidwell dropped out of college, bought a moving company, ran it for five years, sold it, and launched a new business helping home service owners automate their operations. All before most people finish grad school. In this episode of Rising Tide Startups, Noah shares how he discovered his real passion wasn't running a moving company but solving the operational headaches that kept him up at night. The inefficiencies, the manual processes, the time sucks that every blue collar business owner deals with but doesn't have time to fix. So he sold his company and built Solo Operator to do exactly that. Now he's helping small home service businesses get their time back by implementing systems, automations, and processes that actually work. Noah talks about the discipline it takes to focus on high leverage activities, why he hires fast and fires fast in the home service space, and his vision for Solo Operator Labs where he takes equity stakes in businesses instead of charging monthly retainers. He also shares lessons from his dad (who was a previous guest on this podcast), why nobody will ever care about your business as much as you do, and his dream of backpacking through Europe once he builds a business that runs without him. Key Takeaways: Focus on signal, not noise. Identify your highest leverage tasks each day and complete them before anything else. Do what you actually love. If you're dreading most of your work, it's time to pivot toward what energizes you, even if it means starting over. Nobody will care as much as you. You can't expect employees to have the same drive as a founder. Accept that and set realistic expectations. Partner for ownership, not just payment. Taking a piece of the business instead of charging fees aligns incentives and opens doors when cash is limited. Small businesses need systems to survive. Whether you want to grow or exit, having documented processes and automation in place isn't optional anymore. Build a business that runs without you. True freedom means being able to step away and know everything still works.

The world affirms everything you do but doesn't actually love you. Jesus loves you but isn't okay with what's destroying you. Discover why real love requires both clarity about sin and compassion that transforms… not through your effort, but the Holy Spirit making you entirely new.

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. —Isaiah 55: 1-3, ESV

“Bankable and Unbreakable — That's Hope Worth Waiting For”Romans 15:4-134 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;    I will sing the praises of your name.”10 Again, it says,“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”11 And again,“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;    let all the peoples extol him.”12 And again, Isaiah says,“The Root of Jesse will spring up,    one who will arise to rule over the nations;    in him the Gentiles will hope.”13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

From elevator operators to AI agents: Why every company needs disruption insurance - and the brutal truth about digital evolution, self-driving lawsuits, and the suicide conversations happening with ChatGPT that prove Africa can't afford to be six years late again. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, a transformative conversation dismantles the dangerous comfort zone keeping African businesses trapped in yesterday's technology while the world races toward AI-dominated futures. This isn't tech hype from Silicon Valley - it's a systematic breakdown of why the same fear our ancestors had about radio and elevators is paralyzing modern leaders about AI, why kids are asking ChatGPT how to bomb classrooms while companies debate whether they need social media teams, and why the Tesla car accident raises a constitutional question no African government is prepared to answer: if a self-driving car crashes, who goes to jail? Critical revelations include: • Why AI-generated images are indistinguishable from real photos - and what that means for authenticity, trust, and verification in business • The disruption acceptance principle: when you fight the tools that become the standard order of the day, you get out of business • How moving from circle to circle requires accepting change across every aspect of life - technology, relationships, business models, everything • The new luxury economy: people paying to have phones taken away, reintegrating into nature, going offline as the ultimate status symbol • Why libraries with no-phone policies and retreat centers charging for digital detox prove we've created a problem we now pay to escape • The global conversation shift: sustenance farming for families, growing your own food, raising kids away from tech insanity • How every generation freaked out about their defining technology - radio, TV, elevators with human operators, Facebook labeled as anti-Christ • The measurement framework: how much good versus how much bad determines whether we've created a problem or a solution. The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys business complacency: we don't remember the last time we thought about TV poles, antennas, or the bamboo sticks that once defined television access. The same will happen to your current business model. Customers will not say "because we love you, because you've been here for a very long time, we're just going to roll with you." That's not going to be the case. Better systems win. Loyalty loses. Efficiency dominates sentiment. From understanding that AI agents can research interview subjects by consuming years of content in seconds, to recognizing that churches already use live transcription systems that turn sermons into social media content before the congregation leaves, to accepting that kids are having dangerous conversations with AI that our parenting models weren't built to handle - this episode proves that every company, every institution, every parent needs their fingers on the pulse of AI development. The question isn't whether AI will disrupt your industry. The question is whether you'll cannibalize your own core before someone else does it for you. For the African business leader, government official, and parent seeking to survive the AI revolution instead of becoming another disruption casualty, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: start researching every moving part of AI systems that apply to your industry. Build an R&D department focused on identifying adjacent developments that could disrupt your current business model. Stop thinking AI is just ChatGPT. Understand that our constitutions, legal systems, and social structures were built for a physical world and are now obsolete in a digital reality where self-driving cars, AI-generated content, and algorithmic decision-making raise questions we have no frameworks to answer. And remember - this is how it's always been. Every generation freaked out about their defining technology. The only difference is whether you adjust and grow, or get left behind holding an empty TV box wondering why the world stopped transmitting to your frequency.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Imagine a world where new personal trainers don't get tossed onto the gym floor with a textbook and a shrug. We take on a bold thought experiment: what if personal training operated inside an insurance-backed, supervised system—more like a residency—so rookies could learn under experienced clinicians, earn steady pay, and develop real confidence before jumping into premium coaching?We start by pulling apart the broken pipeline: pass a multiple-choice exam, struggle to get hired by high-end clubs that want experience, then get thrown to the sharks at volume gyms with no mentorship. That pathway erodes confidence, confuses pricing and assessments, and drives injuries and burnout. We contrast it with the physical therapy model—formal education, supervised clinical hours, high patient volume—that, despite flaws, reliably builds baseline competence. Then we map a practical version for fitness: structured hours, interdisciplinary collaboration with PTs and physicians, and case-based learning focused on strength, behavior change, and safe progressions.From there, we connect the dots to career capital. A couple of years in an insurance-based setting creates the reps and feedback loops trainers need to command premium rates, move into respected clubs, and branch into online coaching or entrepreneurship. Clients benefit too—especially those facing obesity and metabolic disease—because coaching happens within a medical team that aligns goals, scope, and communication. We also get honest about the barriers: certification companies and big-box incentives aren't built for mentorship, and red tape is real. But if fitness wants respect as an allied health profession, supervised practice and clearer standards are the way forward.If you're a coach who's felt lost after a cert, a PT curious about partnering with trainers, or a gym owner who wants to reduce churn and raise quality, this conversation lays out a path that puts learning and client outcomes first. Subscribe, share with a coach who needs a roadmap, and drop your take: should personal training move toward a supervised, insurance-backed model?Want to ask us a question?

You know that moment where your kid says or does something, your nervous system spikes, and every parenting thing you've ever learned disappears from your brain… Today we're talking about the huge gap between what we know about calm parenting and what actually comes out when we're tired, stressed, and triggered.I'm joined by Dr. Alissa Jerud—clinical psychologist, DBT expert, and author of Emotion-Savvy Parenting. Dr. Jerud blends gold-standard, evidence-based tools with respectful parenting so you can stop white-knuckling your reactions and start leading with grounded emotional skill.In this episode, we're diving into:The “knowing vs. doing” gap in motherhoodWhy even the most trained parents lose access to their tools under stress—and what shifts when you stop trying to control your child and start regulating yourself.The ART framework: Accept, Regulate, Tolerate How to accept emotions without judgment, understand the real “ingredients” behind your reactions, and work with triggers, thoughts, and vulnerabilities so you're less likely to snap.What to do when anger hijacks your system How to feel anger without exploding, use distress-tolerance skills to dial it down, and choose actions that align with the parent you want to be.This conversation is for you if you've ever thought, “I should know better by now,” but your reactions aren't matching the mom you want to be. You'll walk away with language, lenses, and practical tools you can use in real time… even on the messy days.Pick up Dr Jerud's book Emotion-Savvy Parenting here.

Wondering if your mother-in-law is just “a lot,” or if you're actually dealing with a truly toxic mother-in-law situation? You are so not the only one lying awake replaying her comments and wondering what to do when this relationship feels way too involved in your marriage and family. In this episode, we're talking about how a toxic mother-in-law dynamic starts to erode your sense of safety at home. Dr. Tracy Dalgleish - clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and author of You, Your Husband and His Mother - joins me to talk honestly about what happens when your partner is still emotionally tied to his mom, you're trying to build a healthy new family, and you keep getting caught in the middle. We look at why some moms struggle to let go, why so many women end up over-functioning for everyone, and why so many men freeze or minimize when it's time to set boundaries with a toxic mother-in-law… and then we talk about what you can do: becoming a united “vault” as a couple, setting real boundaries instead of endless “requests,” and getting clear on your options when the dynamic with your mother-in-law is starting to feel unbearable. Here's how we walk through it together: 00:00 Why Mother-in-Law Conflicts Hurt Communication and Connection 03:14 Dr. Tracy's Story and Why She Wrote “You, Your Husband and His Mother” 05:24 Mother–Son Bonds, Gender Roles, and the Roots of Toxic Mother-in-Law Dynamics 11:03 Unhealthy Family Patterns: Control, Enmeshment, and Emotional Caretaking of Mom 20:56 Overfunctioning Wives, Underfunctioning Husbands, and the Mother–Child Dynamic 24:39 The VAULT Method: Becoming a United Couple and Setting Boundaries with In-Laws 30:48 Requests vs Boundaries: What Really Works with a Toxic Mother-in-Law 51:41 Change, Accept, or Leave: Your Choices in a Toxic Mother-in-Law Situation If this stirs up a very specific conversation with your partner (or a replay of your last holiday with his mom) and your chest tightens a little, I have something for exactly that moment. My Communication That Connects training walks you through the evidence-based do's and don'ts of communication that actually creates understanding instead of more defensiveness and hurt. I'll help you get clear about the real issues under your fights, give you a framework you can start using right away with your partner, and walk you step-by-step through how to have hard conversations in a way that protects your emotional bond instead of tearing it down. And if you're at the point where you're thinking, “I don't want to keep holding this all together by myself,” I would be genuinely honored to support you more directly. At Growing Self, you can privately tell us what's going on with your marriage, your mother-in-law, your family, and we'll help you connect with the right therapist or coach on my team. It's a simple, secure way to raise your hand and say, “Here's what I'm struggling with, please point me to the right person.” You can start that process anytime by scheduling a consultation. You deserve a family life that feels safe, sane, and loving, even if your extended family is… a lot.

Mike and Rico wonder what is realistically possible for MSU Football under Pat Fitzgerald.

Today's episode was sparked by a line that dropped into my world like a divine wink: “I accept the great adventure of being me.” This quote—often attributed to Simone de Beauvoir—opened a doorway into a deeper conversation about embodiment, intuition, and the soul-led path of feminine leadership. If you're an intuitive woman who feels that familiar tug in your chest… the pull toward more purpose, more truth, more alignment… then this episode will feel like a warm, holy recalibration. Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ Why feminine leadership begins with embodiment, not effort ✨ How Human Design & Gene Keys decode the way you're meant to lead ✨ Why 2026 is a destiny-activation year for intuitive women ✨ What nervous system regulation has to do with clarity ✨ How astrology reveals the leadership imprint written into your bones ✨ The question that becomes your compass: “Am I accepting the adventure of being me… or am I hiding?” This is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start stepping into the woman God designed you to be.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. James Perdue, known globally as the Professor of Perseverance. At 19, one football hit dislocated three vertebrae in his neck, leaving him a quadriplegic and facing doctors who told his family he would be a burden and should be placed in a nursing home. Instead of collapsing, James built a new playbook for life. He breaks down his simple but uncompromising ABC framework for overcoming adversity. Accept adversity, Begin battling, Conquer the challenge. This is a direct conversation about grief, denial, rehab fatigue, and the moment he stopped chasing a “cure” and chose a future built on education, purpose and service. If you are navigating injury, disability, burnout or any life altering event, this episode gives you clear language, grounded mindset tools and a no excuses invitation to own your life narrative.   About The Guest  : Dr. James Perdue is a motivational speaker, best selling author, award winning educator, life coach and globally known as the Professor of Perseverance. After a catastrophic football injury left him a quadriplegic at 19, he spent years in hospitals, rehab centers and deep denial. Instead of accepting the role of “burden,” he built a life of impact through education, speaking and coaching. His core message. accept adversity, begin battling, conquer challenges. James now helps audiences worldwide move from victim mindset to active ownership of their future.   Key Takeaways: Adversity does not need your approval. it needs your acceptance. James is clear that accepting a life changing injury does not mean liking it. It means acknowledging reality so you can take responsibility and move. His ABC framework is deliberately simple. A. Accept adversity. B. Begin battling. C. Conquer the challenge. If you can remember the alphabet up to C, you can remember the system. Acceptance is a process, not a moment. James spent about five years in denial and depression, yet he kept trying therapies, rehabs and strength work during that time. Progress and grief can coexist. After 18 different rehabs, he stopped chasing walking as the only “win” and shifted to education and life design. College, a degree and a future he could actually live became the new definition of success. Family mindset matters. his family chose a positive, solution oriented lens, doing hours of home physical therapy together instead of internalizing the “nursing home” recommendation. Ownership is non negotiable. once you are up, dressed and in your chair or body for the day, James insists it is your responsibility to use tools, the internet, communities and education to build the best life available to you.   How Listeners Can Connect With Dr. James Perdue   Dr. James keeps it simple.

Ukraine Peace Plans, Concessions, and the Impact on US Alliances — Bill Roggio, Husain Haqqani — Bill Roggiosuggests Ukraine is losing militarily and must accept difficult territorial and military concessions to ensure state survival, predicting that proposed peace deals will ultimately collapse. Ambassador Haqqani emphasizes that U.S. abandonment of allies, exemplified in Afghanistan and Iraq, creates an international perception that America cannot be relied upon. Russia's prevailing would constitute a victory for the "axis of aggressors," including China, Iran, and North Korea, fundamentally weakening U.S. global influence. 1855 CRIMEAN WAR, SCOTS FUSILIER GUARDS
