In this episode, Jody shares insights into podcasting, content creation, and the evolution of his work in helping leaders transition to their next chapter. Key Quotes "When you have to show up every week with something to say, you actually start to find out what you believe in." "There's nothing new except what has been forgotten." "If you even have a little bit of interest in podcasting, just start doing it." Episode Summary In this episode, Jody Maberry and Mike Simmons dive deep into the evolution of podcasting and content creation. Jody shares how podcasting has changed over the years, why it's easier than ever to get started, and how he helps executives transition from corporate careers to creating their own platforms. They also explore the power of AI in content creation and why having a podcast—even if you don't monetize it—is a valuable tool for personal and professional growth. Key Takeaways 1. Podcasting as a Catalyst for Clarity Recording a podcast regularly forces you to articulate and refine your ideas. The discipline of speaking weekly helps shape and develop strong viewpoints. Even if you don't publish episodes, podcasting is a powerful way to process thoughts. 2. The Evolution of Podcasting Technology Tools like pocket-sized microphones make recording easier than ever. AI-generated show notes save time and improve efficiency. New platforms like NotebookLM summarize content and generate podcast-style conversations. 3.

The challenge is translating decades of experience into a digestible, engaging format. Creating content—whether podcasts, books, or courses—helps preserve and share their expertise. 4. The Power of Relationships in Content Creation Jody met Mike through their mutual connection with Lee Cockerell. Communities formed around content—whether podcasts or masterminds—have long-term impact. Shared experiences and collaboration lead to new ideas and opportunities. 5. The Realities of Podcast Longevity While millions of podcasts exist, only a small fraction are consistently updated.

In episode 191 of Growing Older, Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch explores the transformative potential of anger with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, a licensed psychotherapist, anger expert, and host of “Angry at the Right Things” podcast. Bronwyn has masters degrees in both Counseling and Nutrition. She shares her unique journey, from a career in nutrition to becoming a psychotherapist, inspired by her personal struggles with severe depression and anxiety. Through her story, she highlights how suppressed anger often manifests as anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms, emphasizing the importance of addressing its root causes. Bronwyn reframes anger as a signal from the body—much like a warning light on a car dashboard—alerting us to unresolved issues or unmet needs. Rather than suppress or avoid it, she advocates for acknowledging anger, attuning to it, and channeling it healthily through boundaries, assertive communication, or accountability.The discussion delves into the role of childhood experiences in shaping our emotional responses and the impact of shame and betrayal on mental health. Bronwyn emphasizes the need to heal our relationship with anger to foster self-integration and wholeness. By understanding anger as a natural and necessary emotion, we can cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others.  Listeners are encouraged to view anger not as a flaw but as a tool for self-awareness and growth. This empowering conversation will provide valuable insights into how embracing and managing anger constructively can lead to greater emotional resilience and well-being.

“True will is quiet humility, resilience, and flexibility; the other kind of will is weakness disguised by bluster and ambition.” - Ryan Holiday This is the final episode of a 3-part series, where we review  Ryan Holiday's powerful book, The Obstacle is the Way: The Ancient Art of Turning Adversity to Advantage. Holiday, an expert on Stoicism, outlines three essential steps to overcoming challenges—Perception, Action, and Will. In this episode, we focus on Will, essential for overcoming adversity.   If perception and action are the disciplines of the mind and the body, then WILL is the discipline of the heart and the soul.: WILL is the inner fortitude, acceptance of fate, and the relentless pursuit of enduring challenges with grace. Will is the one thing that we control completely, always. We are joined again by Coach Adam Kimble. In this section Holiday emphasizes the importance of inner strength and resilience in overcoming adversity.  This section is about how we respond when we've done all we can through perspective and action, yet still face hardships beyond our control. Holiday focuses on the development of willpower, endurance, and the ability to accept and withstand external challenges with grace.
