Podcasts about admitting

Have you ever found yourself needing to apologize to someone… and dreading it? Or have you been hurt by someone who refused to apologize for something they did to you?Saying “I'm sorry” can be one of the hardest things to do.On this podcast episode about Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, Yael Eckstein explores how those two words—“I'm sorry”—relate to the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Admitting our wrongdoings, committing to change, and moving forward is what this biblical holy day is all about.When we say, “I'm sorry”—and when we mean it—God has mercy and He forgives. And those two little words have the power to heal relationships and change the world for the better.Learn more about the High Holy Days by visiting our Learn Center.And listen to more of Yael's Bible teachings on her daily podcast, The Chosen People.

Building Better Employee Experiences Through Leadership  Shep interviews Mita Mallick, marketing and culture change expert and bestselling author. She talks about her book The Devil Emails at Midnight and the impact of internal workplace culture on employees and customers.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What impact does internal workplace culture have on the external customer experience?  How can leaders set healthier communication boundaries with their employees?  How can companies create an inclusive culture that values both employees and customers equally?  What are some negative leadership behaviors that can affect employee engagement and customer service?  Why is it important for leaders to address problematic employee behavior immediately?  Top Takeaways:    Employees are sometimes the 'forgotten customers' in a business. Just as companies focus on serving their external customers, it is important to also care for internal customers, your team members.   When employees feel valued and respected, they are more likely to treat customers in the same way. The quality of service on the outside is often a reflection of how employees are treated within the organization.  The worst behaviors in any workplace become part of its culture if they are allowed to continue. Whether it's disrespect or disengagement, what leaders and team members let slide becomes the norm.   Leaders should consider whether their personal habits force their team members to sacrifice their personal time. Work doesn't need to spill into all hours of the day and night. For example, when employees feel pressured to respond to emails outside of their work hours, it can cause burnout and stress. Even a simple message like "no need to respond right away" can help set healthy boundaries.  When things change, you have to be willing to revise your goals. Have an honest conversation with your team to find out if they have all the tools and resources that they need to achieve a goal. If not, find out if you can help them or if it is time to set more realistic goals.   Admitting when you are struggling shows strength, not weakness. If someone is dealing with personal struggles, being open about it helps others understand and can make the workplace more supportive.  Bad bosses can teach as much, if not more, than great bosses. Watching what doesn't work and feeling the impact of negative behaviors can inspire people to do the opposite.   Great leaders regularly examine their own behavior. It's easy to spot toxic bosses in others, but it is harder to recognize those traits in yourself. Leaders should take the time to ask themselves, "Am I making it harder for someone to succeed here?"   Plus, Mita shares memorable stories of bad bosses she's encountered (including herself) and the lessons from those experiences. Tune in! Quote:   "The biggest complaint in any relationship, whether at home or work, is a lack of time for each other. If you're not making time for your team, you really need to ask yourself why you're leading them."    About:    Mita Mallick is an inclusive marketing expert and cultural change agent known for transforming organizations. She's the bestselling author of Reimagine Inclusion and , The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

How the Old and New Testaments tell us the same thing

James O'Keefe (via his O'Keefe Media / Project Veritas apparatus) recently released a covert recording of Glenn Prager, a former DOJ official, during a flight from Phoenix to Washington. In the video, Prager asserts that Epstein was a CIA asset, alleges that President Trump is not personally implicated in Epstein-related sexual crimes, and claims Trump's reluctance to release files stems from a desire to “protect a lot of people.” He further argues that his interviews with Epstein victims and review of itineraries found no evidence of Trump being present during assaults, while drawing a sharp contrast to Bill Clinton, whom he said was present during alleged rapes.The Department of Justice swiftly pushed back, stating that Prager's role was limited to a program analyst position more than fifteen years ago and that he lacks direct knowledge of the Epstein investigations. The DOJ called his statements unreliable and criticized the release as exploitative of sexual abuse victims. Meanwhile, the recording has ignited renewed calls among critics and some Republicans for more transparency in the Epstein case and fresh scrutiny of withheld DOJ files.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Investigator Taped Admitting Donald Trump ‘Covered Up' Files

This week, we explore why asking for help feels like admitting defeat and how this mindset keeps us isolated when we could be achieving breakthrough results through collaboration.The Big Question: Why do I treat asking for help like admitting defeat?The 4 Key Blocks:Fear of being a burden: Remember that people generally want to help, and healthy relationships require reciprocity—let others contribute to you too.Not wanting unwanted advice: Set clear context about what you need—processing time, brainstorming, validation, or specific solutions.Feeling like failure: Challenge the core belief that your value comes from figuring everything out independently. Ask yourself: Do I want to be right or successful?Concern about others' perceptions: Reframe asking for help as co-creation and inclusion. The strongest leaders collaborate and show vulnerability.Remember: Asking for help isn't defeat—it's how you create something bigger than you could build alone. You deserve support, and collaboration leads to breakthrough results.Key Takeaway: The sum is greater than the parts. Stop treating independence as strength and start treating co-creation as the path to your best work.Resources for this Episode: Uncompete by Ruchika T. MahotraHave a question for the show?

WE'RE BACK! We ended up deleting last week's episode due to some technical difficulties with the audio (Clancy sounded like she was talking from a garbage disposal lolls) but we're making up for it!!! In today's episode we chat about why we're both on the struggle bus and then hop on the “unfortunately I do like” trend that's been going around social media and share weird/embarrassing/random things we like! Love you guys!

The Drive made an admission; Isiah Pacheco should not be the Chiefs top running back anymore.

A Note from JamesI'm really concerned about the level of discourse in this country. It's almost a cliché to say that now, but especially after the Charlie Kirk assassination, the division feels overwhelming. I even got invited to speak at the Oxford Union—the most prestigious debate society in the world—but ultimately declined because I didn't like how the whole situation was being handled.I can't stand when anyone celebrates a death. Regardless of politics, it disturbs me. And every day, my social media feed is filled with more division and hatred. So I wanted to talk with Charles Duhigg. He wrote Super Communicators (now out in paperback) about how to actually connect with people in a world that seems torn apart. Even in a short conversation, I learned so much from him—things that made me think in new ways.Episode DescriptionPulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg (Super Communicators, The Power of Habit) joins James to explore how we can talk to each other in an age of polarization. From tragic political violence to everyday disagreements with family and friends, Charles explains why humans are wired for connection, how to ask better questions, and what it takes to turn conflict into understanding.This episode is a practical guide to becoming a better communicator—especially when the stakes are high.What You'll LearnThe three types of conversations—emotional, practical, and social—and why mismatched conversations cause breakdowns.How to ask “deep questions” that uncover values and experiences, not just surface facts.Why mirroring, looping, and listening carefully make people feel truly heard.How to handle anger and cliches with curiosity instead of combat.Why disagreements don't destroy democracy—bad communication does.Timestamped Chapters[03:08] James on division, Oxford Union, and why he turned down an invitation[06:06] Why James brought Charles Duhigg on the podcast[07:00] Political violence, polarization, and clashing conversations[10:42] What made Charlie Kirk an effective communicator[12:21] Communication as connection, not just information[13:21] Do both sides have to want connection?[15:20] Congress, partisanship, and performative politics[19:36] How “deep questions” build trust and reveal values[21:10] James on why he podcasts—and Charles's analysis[23:39] Social reciprocity and feeling closer through vulnerability[24:23] History shows the value of disagreement done right[26:00] Why we reward bad behavior—and how to stop[27:09] James on gun control neutrality and frustration[29:00] Parenting lessons applied to political disagreements[30:00] “When you're furious, get curious”[31:53] Moving past cliches by asking about personal experiences[33:08] Admitting confidence levels in arguments[34:19] Is Charles optimistic about America's communication future?[34:50] A challenge for listeners: ask someone you disagree with “why does this matter to you?”[36:09] Closing thoughts: Super Communicators now in paperbackAdditional Resources

After a Year of Silence: Uncrowned Podcast Returns with Renewed Faith, Purpose, and Brotherhood For the first time in a year, I'm sitting down in front of a microphone again. The past twelve months were a year of silence – no new podcast episodes, no social media motivation, just quiet. During that hiatus, I was wrestling with my own mind and soul. On the outside, I'm a Marine Corps veteran and men's life coach known for uplifting others. On the inside, I was struggling with men's mental health, facing creative burnout and even battling waves of depression. I had poured so much into helping others overcome their pain that I hadn't fully acknowledged my own. When I finally hit a wall, it felt like depression and doubt had locked me in a lonely room, questioning my purpose and direction. What kept me going through those dark days was a spark of faith that refused to die out. In the stillness of that year-long break, I found myself praying more honestly than ever before. God met me in the silence. Little by little, I felt a pull back toward my calling. This wasn't a lightning-bolt moment or a quick fix. It was more like a gentle nudge, a divine redirection that guided me out of the gloom. I realized I couldn't carry these burdens alone. So I leaned into my faith and reached out to a few close brothers for support. That combination of honest prayer, faith-based self-development, and brotherhood became my lifeline and the path to reclaiming the fire I thought I had lost. A Year of Silence and Creative Burnout: Facing My Own Mental Health Crisis Going silent for a year wasn't a marketing move or a planned sabbatical—it was pure survival. I hit a point of creative burnout where the passion I once had for sharing my voice just fizzled out. Every time I tried to record an episode or write a post, I felt empty. Instead of forcing it, I stepped back completely. At first, I felt guilty and even ashamed about needing a break. Wasn't I supposed to be the strong one? As a former Marine, I've pushed through all kinds of pain. And as a men's life coach, I often encourage other men to speak up about mental health. Yet there I was, unable to find words for my own struggles. Admitting that I felt broken and depressed was humbling and hard. It meant confronting the stigma around men's mental health head-on, even within myself. During that quiet year, I learned to sit with my discomfort instead of running from it. Some days I journaled my thoughts; other days I just sat in prayer asking God why I felt so lost. There were mornings I woke up with a weight on my chest, the kind that makes it hard to even get out of bed. I wondered if my season of purpose had passed. But in that stillness, I also started to hear a whisper of hope. It's amazing how, when everything else is quiet, God's voice becomes clearer. Through late-night conversations with my wife and heartfelt talks with close friends, I began to see that taking care of my own mind and spirit wasn't weakness—it was necessary. This period of silence and reflection was painful, but it was also healing. It forced me to prioritize my mental health as a man and get real about emotions I had buried for years. Christian Masculinity and a God-First Lifestyle: Rediscovering What It Means to Be a Man of Faith As I worked through my internal battles, I found myself reexamining what being a man truly means to me. I've always identified with being a tough guy—the Marine, the weightlifter, the provider. But during my hiatus, I felt God reminding me that Christian masculinity isn't about never cracking or always having the answers. It's about humility, faith, and leading with love. True strength can mean having the courage to say, “I need help” or “I can't do this alone.” This was a wake-up call that living a God-first lifestyle had to be more than a slogan. I started making my relationship with God the foundation of my day-to-day life again, not just something I squeezed in on Sunday. Putting God first changed how I saw my responsibilities and ambitions. Instead of measuring myself by career success or macho standards, I started focusing on character and faithfulness. I asked God to guide my decisions—whether it was how I spent my mornings or how I could return to podcasting with the right heart. Slowly, I felt my purpose being renewed. The more I leaned into prayer and scripture, the more my identity shifted from “Joe, the guy who has it all together” to “Joe, a servant of God trying to live with purpose.” In practical terms, that meant starting each day with prayer, getting back into reading the Bible for wisdom, and being present with my family and community in ways I hadn't before. I can't emphasize enough how much relief it brought to let go of my ego and let God lead. This is what faith-based self-development looked like for me: less of me trying to control everything, and more trusting God to shape me. It's an ongoing process, but it truly set me on the path to reclaiming my purpose as a man of faith. Overcoming Depression through Faith and Faith-Based Self-Development One of the biggest challenges I had to confront in that year was overcoming depression. I haven't talked about this much publicly before, but I want to be real about it here. There were days in the past year when a dark cloud hung over me. I felt like I was letting everyone down—my family, my listeners, myself. Depression is a heavy word and an even heavier experience. For me, overcoming it wasn't about “manning up” in the traditional sense; it was about breaking down my pride and allowing God and others to help build me back up. My faith became a lifeline in this fight. I remember nights when I couldn't sleep, and I'd open my Bible to the Psalms. King David's raw honesty in those pages—crying out in despair one moment and praising God the next—made me feel less alone. It gave me permission to cry out, too, and to believe that God was listening to my pain. I also took some very practical steps as part of this faith-based self-development journey. I started seeing a Christian counselor who helped me sort through the tangle of thoughts in my head. We worked on how to align my daily habits with my values. That meant setting healthier boundaries with work, making time for rest (real rest, not just crashing in front of the TV), and surrounding myself with people who speak life into me. I can't overstate how much these small, faithful steps added up. Day by day, through prayer, counseling, and personal development rooted in faith, the fog of depression began to lift. I found myself laughing again, dreaming again, and creating again. It felt like spiritual growth in real time—each prayer, each honest conversation was like climbing one step out of a deep hole. I'm not going to say I've got it all figured out or that I'll never struggle again. But I now have tools and a community grounded in faith to lean on. And most importantly, I have a renewed understanding that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness (as Scripture beautifully reminds us). That truth carried me through and gave me hope that I could not just survive that season, but come back stronger and more purpose-driven than before. Reclaiming Purpose and Embracing Spiritual Growth As the haze of burnout and depression cleared, I started to feel genuinely excited about life again. It was like waking up after a long sleep. With God's guidance, I began reclaiming my purpose instead of letting negative thoughts tell me I didn't have one. I realized my calling hadn't vanished—it was just waiting for me to pick it back up with a new perspective. In fact, what I went through refined that calling. I'm more convinced than ever that helping men grow in faith, mental wellness, and character is what I'm meant to do. But now I'm approaching it with a humbler heart and a more patient spirit. This renewed sense of purpose led to an unexpected burst of creativity. The floodgates opened after that long drought. I found myself writing again, but this time with more honesty and heart than before. One of the projects closest to my heart is my upcoming book, “The Stoic Marine.” I poured my journey into those pages during the hiatus. It's part memoir and part guide, weaving together lessons from my time in the Marine Corps, the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophy, and the faith that ultimately anchors me. Writing The Stoic Marine was therapeutic—it helped me process my experiences and also turn them into something that could serve others. The book delves into what it means to be disciplined and resilient while still staying tenderhearted and God-centered. In a way, the process of writing was another layer of spiritual growth for me. It kept me grounded and gave me a tangible mission to work on each day, even when I wasn't in a place to speak publicly. I can't wait to share it with you all, because I believe so many men out there struggle with that same balance of toughness and vulnerability, and I want them to know they're not alone. Brotherhood and a New Men's Retreat: Building a Community of Uncrowned Kings Perhaps the greatest lesson I learned in my year off is that we're not meant to do life alone. Yes, personal faith is crucial, but so is community. I credit a huge part of my healing and growth to the brotherhood I have around me—godly men who checked in on me, prayed with me, and sometimes just sat with me in silence. It reminded me of why I started the Uncrowned community in the first place. We men might act tough, but inside we all crave connection and understanding. When we isolate ourselves, we deprive ourselves of one of God's most effective tools for growth: each other. Coming back into the public space, I feel a strong pull to foster that sense of brotherhood for others. That's why I'm beyond excited to announce that I'm planning a men's retreat. This retreat is going to be all about brotherhood, personal growth, and faith in action. Think of a long weekend where a group of us guys can get away from the noise—maybe out in nature somewhere—unplug, and really connect with God and with each other. We'll share stories, encourage each other, maybe even shed some tears and have some laughs around a bonfire. It's going to be a space where we can drop the “I'm fine” act and get real about the challenges we're facing, whether it's overcoming depression, finding purpose, or just trying to be a better man for our families. I'll be bringing some of the insights from The Stoic Marine to this retreat as well, blending those ideas of discipline and faith in our activities and discussions. My hope is that every guy who joins leaves feeling recharged, supported, and reminded that he's part of a brotherhood of uncrowned kings. We might not wear literal crowns, but each of us has a God-given greatness and purpose inside—we just need to help each other see it and live it out.

Scripture Reading and Introduction 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 read. Paul's boasting not of the Lord, but foolishly. Details of Paul's suffering: stripes, imprisonment, shipwrecks, perils, weariness, hunger, and concern for the churches. Paul's escape from Damascus. Thankfulness for the opportunity to be present and receive what the Lord has to offer. Acknowledging uncertainty about the direction of the message but trusting in the Lord's guidance. The Song: "Sweet Things Out of Dark Places" A song has been implanted in the soul for about a month. The song's message is particularly relevant given the current trials and tribulations. The song's lyrics: Wanting to know Him better and walk closer. Willingness to suffer for a clearer vision in the valley. Sweet things and heavenly light emerging from dark places. A sweeter touch and deeper love from Him. Brokenness leading to precious words and a revelation of God's glory. The sweetness of darkness when the Father is near. Apostle Paul as an Example Paul as an example of someone in darkness who gloried in his infirmities. Dark places are common, with trials and heartaches affecting many. Comfort in knowing that darkness is temporary and light will come through Jesus Christ. Excitement to share what the Lord has revealed. Dark valleys as a recurring experience. The tendency to let challenges slow down or derail progress. Sweetness emerging from dark places. Recalling the darkness before finding Jesus Christ. Blindness and a misguided pursuit of worldly pleasures. Realization of being disliked by others due to negative behaviors. Sweetness found in a calling from God. A calling once abandoned for two years. The joy and fulfillment experienced when fulfilling that calling. Feeling God's presence and glory while serving Him. Light replacing darkness. Paul's intelligence and upbringing, yet not glorying in himself. Paul's apostleship not of man but by Jesus Christ and God. Galatians 1:1 referenced. Contrast with the replacement of Judas through casting lots. Caution against boasting in what God is doing in one's life. Gratitude for God's grace and what He has done. Boasting only in Jesus Christ and His work. Sweetness will come if one sticks to it. Paul's perilous situations and distress, yet glorying in infirmities. Glorying in Infirmities A personal anecdote about waking up to a car that wouldn't start. Initial reaction of worry and frustration. Failure to glory in infirmities. Even in darkness, God provides a way for light to shine. Paul's suffering: whippings, beatings, shipwrecks, and betrayal. Choosing to glory in infirmities and taking pleasure in knowing Jesus Christ is present. Not bragging about success. Paul preached to kings. Paul started about 20 churches. Paul did not want credit for those things. Paul wrote 13 books of the Bible. Paul did not boast about writing 13 books. Paul preached for around 30 years. Paul saw a vision of the third heaven. Paul did not boast about the vision. Inability to thank God for bad things happening. Admitting the difficulty of willingly enduring suffering. The problem of thinking one shouldn't have to deal with suffering. Paul as second only to Jesus Christ in contributions to the Christian community. Paul confronted Peter for not associating with Gentiles. Philippians 3:7-14 Philippians 3:7-14 referenced. Counting past gains as loss for Christ. Suffering the loss of all things to win Christ. Counting worldly things as dung. Seeking righteousness through faith in Christ. Knowing Him and the power of His resurrection. Fellowship of His sufferings. Pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Forsaking the world. Not advocating quitting one's job but providing for oneself.

Leadership isn't about perfection—it's about presence, awareness, and courage. That's the central message of this sparkling conversation featuring Wendy F. Adams, CFRE, CEO of Cultivate for Good, co-host Ellie Hume of Your Part-Time Controller,  and co-host Julia Patrick. Together, they unpack what it means to truly “read the room” and lead with authenticity.Wendy brings her trademark candor and wisdom to the conversation. Affectionately called the “Elephant Slayer”, she reminds us that every meeting has unspoken dynamics—and ignoring them doesn't make them disappear. “There's always one in the room and it doesn't get any smaller. We've got to be able to read that,” she offers. Her advice? Pause, acknowledge what's happening, and create space for truth to emerge. Far from being awkward, this honesty often gives others permission to voice what they're feeling too.Ellie adds valuable perspective from the accounting and numbers world, where emotional intelligence isn't always the strongest suit. Her questions prompt Wendy to outline practical strategies—like intentionally setting tone before a meeting, clarifying expectations, and practicing emotional awareness in social settings as a warm-up for boardroom discussions. It's not about being naturally gifted; as Wendy emphasizes, “Spoiler: it didn't come natural to anyone. This girl is working on it all the time.” Growth comes from steady practice.The trio also explore the modern challenge of hybrid and virtual meetings. Cameras off? Silence in the Zoom squares? Wendy pushes back against the false assumption that silence equals agreement. Instead, she encourages leaders to embrace pauses, ask clarifying questions, and bring remote participants into the conversation first. It's about building connection and respect, not just plowing through an agenda.Julia raises a deeply personal question: can seasoned leaders in their 60s really evolve? Wendy's answer is refreshingly hopeful—yes. Tools like the “Five Voices” framework help leaders understand their natural style while intentionally developing their weaker “voices.” Courageous leadership is about humility and transparency, she argues. Admitting to your team that you're learning and evolving isn't weakness—it's a strength that inspires trust.For emerging leaders, Wendy's advice is equally empowering: don't wait for perfection. Ask questions, seize small opportunities to lead projects or meetings, and allow your leadership style to grow alongside your organization. If you outgrow your current space, that's not failure—it may simply mean it's time to align with a new environment that fits your values and vision.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Bible Reading: Psalm 32:1-5; Matthew 6:9-13Robin knelt at the foot of her bed and bowed her head to pray. It was hard to focus with her little sister, Jenny, screaming in the bathroom. "No! I don't want to brush my teeth!" Jenny cried.Mom poked her head into Robin's room, a tired smile on her face. "Robin, could Jenny and I pray with you? Maybe we can pray that Jenny will want to brush her teeth."Robin nodded, and her sister raced into the room and sat beside her, suddenly an angel. "Dear Jesus," Robin said. "Thank You for helping me with my math homework and healing Grandma from her fall. Please bless all my friends and family. Help us have a good night's sleep. Amen.""Amen!" Jenny exclaimed."Robin, did you forget something?" Mom asked."Oh, right. Jesus, please help Jenny brush her teeth without complaining. Amen."Mom smiled. "Just one more thing. Do you remember how Jesus taught us how to pray? In addition to thanking God and bringing our needs to Him, we also need to confess our sins."Robin sighed. "I just don't see the point in asking Jesus to forgive my sins every single day. I'll still make mistakes tomorrow.""Admitting our wrongs is about more than preventing future mistakes," Mom replied.Jenny tugged on Mom's sleeve. "Bedtime?" Robin laughed. "Nice try, Jenny. But you have to brush your teeth.""Why does she need to brush her teeth?" Mom asked Robin."Because her teeth are dirty and she might get cavities if she waits too long to clean them.""But her teeth will be dirty again tomorrow," Mom said. "And every day after that. Maybe the whole thing is pointless.""It's still healthier to brush her teeth daily," Robin said. Then she laughed. "You're not talking about brushing teeth, are you?""You caught me," Mom said. "Confessing our sins reminds us of our need for Jesus and helps us appreciate what He did to save us. Prayer is meant to bring us closer to Jesus in this way."Robin turned to Jenny. "If I confess my sins to Jesus, will you finally brush your teeth?"Jenny sighed dramatically. "Okay, fine." –Hannah ChungHow About You?Have you ever wondered why you should confess your sins to Jesus and ask for His forgiveness when you pray? Confessing means to recognize an action or attitude as sin and trust God for forgiveness, knowing that it is because of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross that we will be forgiven. Take a moment to confess any sins, trusting that God will forgive you each and every time.Today's Key Verse:If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(NKJV) (1 John 1:9)Today's Key Thought:Confess your sins daily
