The P word. Purpose. After putting out more than 170 episodes in the past two years, I finally needed a break. The fall has been a rocky road, one of my favorite ice cream flavors, but also a tough stretch mentally. So I stepped back, went into the mountains, left the watch at home, and spent real time reconnecting with why I love moving through the outdoors.I talk about losing the sense of purpose that was so clear every single day on the Appalachian Trail FKT, and what it feels like when that structure vanishes overnight. I get into distraction, mental health, being overwhelmed by the noise of the world, and how easy it is to tear people down online. I also share why purpose matters, how I tried to find mine again, and how getting outside remains the one environment where I can think clearly, communicate honestly, and feel grounded.Then we jump into Trail TMZ. A wild update on the Grand Teton FKT switchback case, including the surprise presidential pardon that shook trail running. A Badwater 135 movie in the works with a Hollywood star attached. Montana State football chaos. And three major women's records falling at Tunnel Hill.I close with some thoughts on brands, expectations, therapy, bandwidth, identity, and why the outdoors continues to be the most reliable entryway to clarity in my life.Brought to you by long-time supporters Janji, CS Coffee, and Garage Grown Gear. Support the show on Patreon and leave a five star review if you enjoy it. It is okay to take a break. It is okay to say you are not doing well. Thanks for sticking around while I found a little purpose again.Chapters00:00 Finding Purpose in Nature05:10 The Impact of Community and Kindness10:41 Mental Health and the Outdoors17:57 Celebrating Women's Achievements in Ultra RunningSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Your emotional state can either propel you toward success or sabotage your progress. In this episode, Kris Krohn reveals how emotions influence decision-making, motivation, and achievement in every area of life. You'll learn powerful techniques to shift your state, increase emotional intelligence, and stay aligned with your goals. If you want to unlock higher performance and greater happiness, this episode delivers the tools you need.

What if the drive you call ambition is actually your body trying to save you. People glorify ambition, but trauma driven ambition is not ambition. It is a nervous system strategy. It is the body trying to outrun a wound. Outrun rejection. Outrun abandonment. When love was unpredictable, your brain learned to earn it. Achievement became safety. Productivity became protection. Success became survival. You were conditioned to believe that if you excel, you are worthy, and if you slow down, you are replaceable. This creates an identity tied to performance instead of worth. You become the strong one. The responsible one. The overachiever who cannot rest because rest feels dangerous. Silence feels like abandonment. Slowing down feels like failure. Trauma driven ambition looks successful from the outside, but internally it costs you peace, presence, and connection. You are not chasing success. You are outrunning fear. Healing is not about losing your ambition. It is about shifting the fuel. When your nervous system is regulated, ambition becomes grounded, purposeful, and aligned. You stop running from something. You start building toward something. That is the difference between being fueled by pain and being anchored in purpose. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

This week, I talk with Dr. Emily Anhalt—a clinical psychologist, founder, and writer who's spent the past 15 years exploring what it really means to be emotionally healthy. You might know her from her TED Talk or her work at Coa, but in this conversation, we go deeper. We talk about growing up in Silicon Valley, the pressure of being a high-achieving kid, and why so many successful people still carry unresolved grief. Emily shares how ADHD shaped her early life, what led her to leave pre-med for psychology, and how emotional patterns from childhood often resurface in our work and relationships. We also dive into what actually makes therapy effective and why hitting your goals doesn't always bring peace. If you've ever built something meaningful but still felt unsettled, or questioned what's really driving your ambition, I think this episode will speak to you. Let's get to it.

Is it possible to transform 20 years of addiction into a life of purpose, clarity, and helping others?David Price can tell you. After 20 years of IV heroin addiction, he made the choice that changed everything. Walking into his first 12-step meeting, he broke down crying—not understanding why. Now he knows it was divine intervention. David shares his journey from sleeping on his grandmother's pull-out couch with no car and massive debt to building an ultra-successful insurance business. "A lot of my friends didn't make it," he reminds us. His philosophy? Master one small, achievable goal. Then another. The gift of recovery? Falling asleep in minutes with a clear conscience. Why share now? "To help somebody." His story proves transformation is possible—one day at a time.David Price is the CEO and Founder of The Price Group IMO, one of the fastest-growing organizations in financial services. His story is proof that anyone can change their life. After overcoming addiction and rebuilding from rock bottom in 2013, David earned his insurance license in 2018 and built a simple system that helps everyday people—single moms, career changers, or anyone looking for extra income—create a living from home. Within just 36 months he became a millionaire, and his organization has now surpassed $10 million in its first year.Today, David's mission is to mentor people who want more freedom, flexibility, and financial independence, giving them the tools and guidance to succeed regardless of their background or experience.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

It's a byproduct of expectations and outcome fixation; reframe it as a challenge and return to controllables. Process > performance > outcome. Track performance stats, but win the day by executing process goals (breath, target, routine, commitment). Curiosity beats judgment. Asking "What's really happening?" dissolves shame, perfectionism, and fear—opening access to better decisions and motor memory. Calibrated intensity. Grind isn't mindless hours; it's intentional focus paired with recovery, so skills encode and become automatic. Detach identity from results. You are not your score or sales number; evaluate inputs and execution quality, not just outcomes. Reframe your language. "I have to" → "I get to," "I'm busy" → "I'm in demand"—word choice shifts physiology and performance. Coach with empathy first. Before offering fixes, make athletes feel seen; then co-create reframes and experiments they can own. Key Quotes: "Pressure doesn't exist—outside of physics. We create it with expectations." "Achievement can feel like a drug—use it to fuel you, not break you." "You're not what you produce. You are enough—regardless of the number." "Win with process goals; they ladder up to performance—and then outcomes." "Curiosity is the antidote to so many psychological 'diseases.'" "If you keep grinding the stone, it turns to nothing. Rest builds growth." "Tell yourself: You have everything you need to succeed. Then access it."

The Trump administration has delivered significant achievements on border security, energy production, crime reduction, and foreign policy in its first 10 months, but several overlooked issues could become serious vulnerabilities if not addressed before the midterms.   Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the major political challenges that could quietly undermine the Trump administration's momentum heading into 2026 and why the administration must shift its public messaging toward the economy on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”   “ Donald Trump has naturally talked about achieving peace with Ethiopia and Egypt, or Pakistan or India, or what we accomplish by taking out the nuclear facilities in Iran, etc. But the elections are not won on foreign policy, unfortunately, or maybe fortunate. They're won on economics. And the Left, in that vacuum, and that lack of praise for the accomplishments of the Trump administration on energy, on GDP, on the stock market, on deregulation, on tax reform, and what will happen in 2026 when, I think, foreign investment and these new technologies will help, in addition, spur the economy and relieve our worries about inflation and affordability—we have to talk about that. Specifically, he has to talk about the comparison of the Biden administration with both his first term, but more importantly, with what he's done the first 10 to 11 months, and what will ensue in 2026 for the things he's doing now.”   00:00 Introduction 00:58 Achievements and Comparisons 04:20 HB-1 Visas Controversy 05:50 Final Thoughts    

I share why you can't make someone feel your love...and why that's liberating. When you offer presence and kindness, their body has to feel safe enough to receive it; your job is to love without controlling their response. This is where boundaries get stronger, not softer: limits set without resentment are clearer, kinder, and more effective. We talk about body image, marriage, parenting, and the everyday moments when conditional love sneaks in....and what it takes to shift toward abundance rather than exhaustion.For high‑functioning Muslim women, this conversation lands close to home. Achievement often masquerades as self‑love. We practice returning to the baseline, “I love myself because I exist,” and reflect on faith: moving from loving Allah only for blessings to loving because we were created capable of love. The mind will try to rationalize even this; we learn to notice, soften, and return to experience over analysis. By the end, you'll have language, examples, and a repeatable practice to make unconditional love your default, rooted, spacious, and deeply alive.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us one condition you're ready to drop today.To leave a review on Apple Podcasts, open the app and go to the show's page by searching for it or finding it in your library.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Candice Horbacz, a former adult film star turned mindfulness advocate, podcaster, and homeschooling mother. Candice brings a rare blend of candor, introspection, and wisdom to this deeply personal conversation. We explore how she navigated radical life transitions, healed from childhood trauma, and created a home rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and emotional safety.   Candice opens up about her own upbringing, the dysfunction that shaped her early worldview, and how she found her way to a new version of identity after walking away from the adult industry.

In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, the Webby Award winning podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, dares to listen instead.What began as a documentary investigation into the remarkable telepathic abilities of non-speaking individuals with autism has expanded into a global exploration of consciousness itself – the science behind it, the mysteries within it, and the lived experiences that refuse to be ignored.In Season One, non-speaking autistic individuals revealed striking abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary phenomena that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.Most people do not live at the extremes of blind belief or hard-nosed skepticism and nobody wants to be fooled in either direction. Award-winning filmmaker Ky Dickens is your host in this paradigm-shifting series that navigates the space between proof and possibility, where transparency, curiosity, and open-minded skepticism meet to help listeners uncover answers to the mysteries that science hasn't fully explained. What have we dismissed that may be true? Is consciousness something we access, or is it bound to the brain? Does it survive death? Can it connect across time and space? And what might it mean for all of us?Step inside a conversation that sits between science and mystery, skepticism and wonder.

Aging quietly shapes everything - our economies, our politics, our families, and the horizon of what nations can become. Jacob and longevity expert Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), take a dive into the emerging science that treats aging not as fate, but as a solvable biological problem with staggering geopolitical consequences. The two explore how extending healthy human life could transform productivity, rebalance global power, upend healthcare economics, and challenge long-held assumptions about decline. At its core is a question: what happens when longevity becomes a public policy frontier, not a personal fantasy?--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(00:21) - The Importance of Longevity(02:48) - Personal Journey into Longevity(04:48) - Historical Quest for Immortality(10:02) - Modern Longevity Science(13:13) - Challenges and Societal Implications(19:53) - A4LI's Mission and Achievements(27:38) - Policy and Future Goals(32:51) - FDA Guidance and Incentives for Therapeutics(34:01) - Supply Chain Concerns and American Manufacturing(35:32) - Political Perspectives on Longevity(37:13) - Bipartisan Efforts and Advocacy(41:55) - Challenges and Opportunities in Longevity Research(52:28) - Economic and Demographic Implications of Longevity(01:01:45) - Closing Remarks and Future Conversations--Referenced in the Show:A4LI - https://a4li.org/ --Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack one of the most deceptive beliefs in first responder culture (Amazon Affiliate) — that the next promotion will make things better. Many responders chase advancement believing that more authority, a new title, or a higher paycheck will finally bring peace. But often, the opposite happens. The pressure grows, the politics intensify, and the burnout that once hid beneath the surface follows you straight into your new office. This episode explores the hidden psychological trap behind "The Promotion Illusion" and what it really takes to find fulfillment that rank alone can't provide.

Paul Gregory argues that Lee Harvey Oswald's primary motive was a profound belief that he was special and destined for greatness, fostered by his mother. Gregory insists Oswald is often underestimated, highlighting his achievements as a master manipulator who deceived the Soviets and planned the General Walker assassination attempt. A secondary but major factor was Marina, who constantly scorned his intelligence and manhood, making him feel worthless. Oswald's trial was meant to be his glorious moment to demonstrate his brilliance to the world and Marina. Killing the president offered a way to prove himself to his wife and establish himself as a historical figure. Guest: Paul Gregory. 1961

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life podcast, I talk about the importance of living your own purpose in life rather than conforming to the expectations and ideals of others. I talk about how we can get stuck in careers, relationships, and situations that don't align with our true desires because we seek the approval of our parents, partners, and society. I ask you to explore whether you are truly living a purposeful, fulfilling life on your own terms or living your life for others. As I ask the last question, I think back to the 1991 movie, The Dead Poet's Society, and I think about the movie character named Neil. He wanted to pursue acting and loved it, but his stern father wanted him to go to Harvard Medical School. Neil hated the idea of medical school and found it soul-crushing, but he agreed. You'll have to watch the movie for the story's conclusion, but it's not uncommon for people to deny their own hopes, wishes, wants, and dreams and instead live their lives to please their parents. Often times cultural and familial pressures guide people down a path that doesn't fulfill them, and they live decades misaligned from their own purpose while trying to please others. So, it's important to ask whether you are living your own purpose or someone else's. Another purpose-robbing action that people often get into is seeking validation from others. This is a surefire way to live an unfulfilled life. For example, a friend of mine was constantly motivated by a desire for his father's approval, and that led him down an obsessive path of constantly trying to prove himself. This behavior disconnects you from your higher self and obscures your true purpose. You can't create an authentic life while dependent on external validation. I have found that the key to living your purpose is surrendering to your destiny and innate talents. This involves getting quiet, listening to your intuition, and taking aligned action. We must focus on the importance of being grateful and on contribution rather than achievement. Here are four key points you may want to keep in mind: Surrender to your innate talents and destiny.Listen to your intuition and take aligned action.Express gratitude and focus on contributing.Achievements will naturally follow purposeful contributions. You must examine whether you are living someone else's purpose or your own. If you are not thrilled by how you spend your days, you are likely conforming to others' expectations. I challenge you to get creative, listen within, and take steps each day to live your own purpose. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway When you are living your purpose, you are contributing your talents to activities that light you up, and you will experience true joy and fulfillment. Your key is being brave enough to live life on your own terms. Just do it. Mentioned Resources: EPISODE 280: History, Humanity, and Spiritual Ego.

The Psychology of Leadership: Turn Stress into Peak Performance, with Sebastien Page,  a $500 billion fund manager How do top leaders and athletes use stress to boost performance instead of burning out?  Most high-achieving leaders believe they have to eliminate stress to perform their best—but sports psychology reveals the opposite is true.  The real problem isn't stress itself; it's operating too close to the edge without understanding your optimal performance zone, leading to burnout, lost creativity, and goal-induced blindness.

High performance can quietly become survival mode. In this episode, discover why you can't stop striving, how your nervous system equates love with productivity, and how to recalibrate peace as the new signal of safety.If you've ever tried to rest but ended up restless, this episode will meet you where achievement and exhaustion quietly collide.In The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why high performers struggle to “turn off” even when everything in them craves peace. Drawing from Michael Phelps' post-Olympic crash and the neuroscience of the dopamine loop, Julie reveals how your brain learns to equate love with productivity and motion with safety.This isn't about laziness, burnout, or discipline—it's about wiring. Your reward system was built to chase validation through motion. That's why stopping feels unsafe, and stillness feels like failure.But wiring can be rewritten. Through the lens of faith, psychology, and embodied leadership, Julie walks you through the process of retraining your nervous system to trust peace again.You'll learn why performance pressure, decision fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion are symptoms of deeper identity misalignment—and how to begin rewiring your inner safety system through The Recalibration, not another mindset tactic but the root-level, identity-first process that makes every other tool effective.If your success has come with invisible exhaustion, this episode will help you understand why—and what freedom feels like when you finally stop earning your existence through effort.Today's Micro Recalibration: When you catch yourself striving, pause and whisper, “I'm safe even when I'm still.” Let your body feel what your mind already knows: you belong, even at rest.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Why do some ideas spark movements while others fizzle? Joel—author of The Idea Machine, veteran publisher, and Chief Content Officer at Full Focus—explains how books transform vague thoughts into precise, shareable frameworks. You'll hear the case for analog reading, how writing unlocks buy-in at work, and why AI and books actually belong together. Practical, contrarian, and deeply encouraging for any high achiever who wants clearer thinking and better communication.Memorable Quotes“Ideas that start in the mind of an author as just kind of a gooey, fuzzy idea. And in the course of writing, it forces them to get clear on it. It forces them to get specific about it and develop it in a way that actually becomes useful.”“Not only can these ideas live in a way that we can understand them, but they can live through time. And that's one of the greatest things about a book—that it perpetuates ideas across time.”“It forces you to get clear. It forces you to develop an argument. It forces you to develop a line of thought that other people can follow. And without that, you're kind of left with a grab bag of ideas that are probably cool. They're great, but they're not in a system that can be used or explained or anything like that.”“I think this is true for leaders. They have a lot of personal charisma and people want to follow them, but that's not enough. You really do have to go to the discipline of getting these ideas clear for yourself so that they can be clear to other people.”“Part of what we've done is we've just de-skilled ourselves in reading and we just need to re-skill ourselves in reading.”“Never read a book 'cause you're supposed to. Read books because they delight. You read books because they're entertaining to you. Read books because you get something out of it that you really like.”Key TakeawaysBooks Are Tech. Treat books as an information technology that lets ideas scale with precision and longevity.Writing Creates Clarity. If you want buy-in, don't rely on vibes—write the memo. Make your idea explicit and specific.Right Format, Right Job. Use audio/ebook for breadth and speed. Reach for print when you need depth, notes, and recall.AI Is a Companion. From library science to today's models, AI extends the book's mission—use it to augment (not replace) critical thinking.Build a Daily Reading Habit. Aim for 30–60 minutes a day (top and bottom of day works). Follow your curiosity. Quit the books that don't serve you.ResourcesThe Idea Machine by Joel J.

The Mongols attempted to invade Japan on 5th November, 1274. Despite having a fleet of 900 ships, they failed - in part due to a ‘kamikaze' typhoon that whooshed their boats back to Korea. Then they tried again - and failed again.
