How many times have you told yourself, 'I'll start when I feel more motivated?'  Stop lying to yourself. Motivation is a myth.  It's fleeting, unreliable.  If you're waiting for it, you're wasting your life. This episode dismantles the motivation myth and reveals the true driver of action: DISCIPLINE.   Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind   Larry Hagner cuts through the noise and delivers the hard truth: Motivation is a lie; discipline is the only truth. Successful men don't rely on feelings; they rely on action. Small, daily wins create unstoppable momentum. Your "why" is your fuel. The 3-step process to discover a purpose that makes quitting impossible.   Here's why this works: Studies show that discipline is a stronger predictor of success than motivation. Small wins release dopamine, creating a positive feedback loop that fuels further action. A strong "why" activates the brain's prefrontal cortex, enhancing focus and persistence.   This episode is a challenge: write down one thing you've been avoiding, and do it for just five minutes today. Stop waiting for motivation; start taking control of your life.   www.thedadedge.com/friday202 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance

This episode features a conversation with Eric Charran, author of “Have You Ever Had a Boss That...,” discussing workplace dysfunction and strategies for thriving in challenging environments. The discussion centers around identifying common causes of dysfunction, understanding different manager archetypes, and turning negative experiences into opportunities for personal and professional growth. Eric and I begin by exploring the root causes of workplace dysfunction, which often stem from a lack of leadership training and the inheritance of outdated management styles. Leaders may adopt unhelpful behaviors due to a lack of proper training or by mimicking ineffective approaches they've observed in the past. The key is to understand that leaders have different toolboxes, and they may not have the right tools or emotional intelligence for organizational leadership. Charran categorizes different managers into unique archetypes, each with distinct behaviors and impacts on their teams.  To manage these archetypes, Eric advocates for “managing upwards” by empathizing with the manager's motivations and challenges. Let's dive right in!

Celebrate Your Wins: I believe it's so important to reflect on your victories, big or small, and celebrate them. In this episode, I share why it's crucial to acknowledge what you accomplished, whether personally or professionally. If you don't take time to show gratitude for the wins, the wins stop happening.  2. Appreciating Physical & Mental Health: I talk about my own health journey in 2024, especially how recovering from back issues in 2021 and 2022 has impacted my physical and mental well-being today.

I'll discuss how producing podcasts, blog posts, emails, social media content and other content is a way to serve our community—and how discipline in content creation has been a core part of my success. 4. Managing Bad Habits: No one's perfect, and I certainly have my own bad habits! I reflect on areas I've struggled with in 2024, such as not reading as much as I wanted to and not taking enough time off. I'll talk about how important it is to learn from your habits, both good and bad, and make changes for the better. 5. Growth in Coaching & Leadership: In 2024, I became even more focused on life coaching, impacting others through IMPACT-X Performance, and helping leaders grow their businesses. I'll share some of the key lessons I've learned through coaching and how working with others has helped me grow, too. 6. Gratitude for the Journey: Gratitude is something I practice daily. In this episode, I talk about how grateful I am for the people and experiences that shaped my 2024—whether it was team, family, or you here, my podcast listeners. 7. Strategic Planning for 2025: Looking ahead, I share why it's so important to set bold, meaningful goals and create a clear vision for the future.

In this episode of PivotMe, April shares a powerful conversation with Tisha, a business owner caught in the whirlwind of “getting everything perfect” before officially launching. April dismantles the common trap of prioritizing logos, websites, and speeches over the one thing that matters most: serving clients. If you're a business owner who feels stuck in endless preparation, this episode will help you refocus on what truly drives success—delivering value and asking for the business. Key Points: The “Perfect Setup” Trap: Tisha's story illustrates how entrepreneurs can get bogged down with non-essential tasks like logo tweaks, website edits, or speech writing. These activities often serve as a distraction from the real goal—gaining and serving clients. Getting Back to Basics: Business only thrives when you're actively doing business. Focusing on branding, marketing, or operational details is important, but not at the expense of serving clients and fulfilling your core mission. Understanding the Goal Behind the Goal: Why do we build logos, websites, and speeches? To attract clients. April challenges listeners to stop overcomplicating this process and focus instead on the direct path: connecting with potential clients and asking for their business. Ego and Confidence in the Way: Entrepreneurs often seek perfection in branding to feel “ready,” but this can be a mask for fear or a lack of confidence. April shares the story of a coach running a $400K business without a website or social media presence, proving that perfection isn't a prerequisite for success. Building a business isn't about how polished your branding is—it's about delivering value to your clients. April encourages listeners to strip away the distractions, focus on their core offering, and prioritize asking for the business. Your clients don't need a perfect website—they need your expertise.   Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Episode Summary: This episode delves into a 2023 research paper that examined how an 18-week program of strength exercises and foam rolling impacted the injury rates of recreational runners. Brodie breaks down the study's methodology, results, and key takeaways, offering runners actionable insights into injury prevention through targeted strength work and foam rolling techniques.Key Takeaways:Strength Training Reduces Injury Risk: The research found that runners who performed strength exercises focused on key muscle groups (hip abductors, quadriceps, foot supinators) twice a week had a significantly lower risk of injury compared to those who did not.Foam Rolling Shows Mixed Results: Foam rolling has shown inconsistent outcomes across studies, but this particular intervention suggests that combining strength exercises with foam rolling may improve injury resilience.Compliance Matters: The study found that runners who adhered closely to the injury prevention program had an 85% lower risk of injury compared to a control group. Conversely, low-compliance runners were almost twice as likely to get injured.Foam Rolling's Role in Recovery: Brodie shares how the research shifted his perspective on foam rolling, citing that while its benefits for flexibility and recovery are not always clear, it may play a role in reducing trigger points and injury risk.Injury Prevention Recommendations: By integrating strength training and foam rolling consistently, runners can significantly extend their "injury-free" running days and potentially decrease the likelihood of developing running-related injuries.Actionable Advice for Runners: Runners can incorporate strength training exercises like single-leg squats, forward lunges, side steps with resistance bands, and foam rolling sessions targeting key lower body muscles to help reduce their injury risk. Consistency and compliance with these exercises are crucial for seeing tangible results.For MORE Run Smarter Resources
