Jeremiah Cooper opens up about his journey through divorce, remarriage, and learning what it truly means to be a father. After eight years of marriage, separation, and four years divorced, Jeremiah and his wife Wendy remarried in 2013—a story that proves hope exists even in the darkest moments. He shares the hard-won lessons about unconditional love, the difference between happiness and joy, and why trust must be rebuilt through consistent behavior over time. Jeremiah discusses how he started an intentional Bible study in his living room that grew into a weekly gathering for teens searching for father figures. He wrestles with the balance between work and family, the importance of teaching wisdom over religion, and why the role of a father is to help kids discover their true identity in Christ. This conversation challenges men to fight for their marriages, be present for their children, and understand that righteousness isn't about perfection—it's about saying yes to God's transformation in our lives.---------Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Alan Dixon, better known in the backpacking world as Adventure Alan. Alan is a literal rocket scientist, a lifelong adventure junkie, and a foundational figure in the early days of ultralight backpacking, having co-founded Backpacking Light.  Alan shares some jaw dropping stories from his many routes, including a near-death experience in the Tetons, his philosophy for developing routes—most notably his popular Wind River High Route, the South Sierra High Route, and the Escalante Overland Route. We dig into how he's managed to bring his base weight down to as low as 2.4 lb., the small luxuries he now allows himself, some of his favorite cottage brands, and his overarching gear philosophies. We also talk about why he follows a ketogenic diet and how he maintains it on trail, his adventures with his wife of more than 20 years, and much more. We wrap the show with the triple crown of gifts for backpackers ($75 or less), a hill that we're willing to die on that everyone else thinks is ridiculous, some new AT stamps that have been out for a long time, and I talk fast.  Gossamer Gear: Check out the Type II collection at gossamergear.com.  [divider] Interview with Alan Dixon Adventure Alan Website Time stamps & Questions 00:02:00 - Reminders: Apply to vlog or blog for the Trek, apply to be a Trail Correspondent, subscribe to The Trek's Youtube, and listen to our episodes ad-free on Patreon! 00:06:49 - Introducing Alan 00:07:30 - So you're a rocket scientist? 00:10:55 - What did you do for the EPA? 00:17:13 - What are the top sources for toxicity in food? 00:23:00 - Are there any chemicals in the backpacking world you're skeptical of? 00:25:06 - What was your earliest mountaineering experience? 00:26:40 - Discussion about the current state of ultralight 00:29:45 - What ultralight products do you get? 00:31:40 - How did you get to a baseweight under 5 pounds? 00:39:30 - Do you recommend tracking your sleep? 00:44:55 - Why do you follow a keto diet? 00:49:52 - How do you maintain a keto diet on trail? 00;53:30 - Tell us about the early days of ultralight 00:58:50 - Why did you want to spread the gospel of ultralight? 01:03:20 - Discussion about the fiddle-factor 01:09:00 - What's your standard gear list now? 01:10:47 - Do you have practical tips for reducing fiddle time? 01:13:07 - Tell us about your trip in the Wind River Range 01:19:00 - Do you have a luxury item today? 01:20:04 - Tell us about selling your website 01:21:55 - What goes into designing a high route? 01:24:40 - Sell us on the Adventure Alan Wind River High Route 01:28:30 - Do you consider high routes to be more of a physical or intellectual challenge? 01:32:05 - Discussion about anxiety while hiking 01:34:45 - Tell us about adventuring with your wife 01:39:09 - Do you have any general marriage advice? 01:42:10 - How do you maintain your fitness into your 60s? 01:46:40 - Discussion about the definition of success 01:51:55 - What's something novel that you're excited about right now? 01:54:49 - Tell us about the Southern Sierra High Route 01:59:20 - Define "it goes" 02:00:05 - Tell us about the Escalante Overland Route 02:06:04 - Are you fully retired now? 02:07:00 - Discussion about fitness and training 02:09:50 - Tell us about the Southern Patagonia Ice Shelf 02:19:00 - Are you able to enjoy a regular trail? 02:22:10 - Tell us your near death experience in the Tetons 02:35:45 - Are you still making content?

In this episode of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Episode 270, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with longtime member Kim Wright, a quiet but powerful example of what sustainable health really looks like after 50. What began as a simple decision during a hospital visit turned into a three-year journey of physical transformation, spiritual grounding, and deep personal growth.Kim shares how morning routines, strength training, plant-based nutrition, and intentional sleep helped him drop inches, build muscle, and reclaim energy—without burnout or perfection. Along the way, he learned how health builds resilience, improves family relationships, and creates the capacity to handle life's challenges with clarity and calm.This is a conversation about consistency over intensity, decisions over sacrifice, and why the men who don't make the most noise are often the ones doing the deepest work.Key TakeawaysConsistency beats intensity over decadesHealth as a daily decision, not a sacrificeMorning routines as an anchor for lifeStrength training builds confidence and resiliencePlant-based nutrition done intentionally worksSleep as a non-negotiable recovery toolModifying workouts instead of stoppingCommunity participation deepens motivationSpiritual practices supporting physical healthFitness creates capacity for family leadershipProgress without perfectionAging with strength, not fearTake an Adventure with FFP in 2026!Fit Father Sedona Retreat — April 2026.

#199 - What if the most important part of travel is the part you can't see? I sat down with cultural intelligence educator Renae Ninneman to unpack the “iceberg” of culture—how the visible stuff like food, transit, and phrases sits on top of deeper values about identity, respect, and communication that truly shape connection. Renee takes us from a formative year teaching in South Korea to years of refugee advocacy, sharing how naming culture shock and learning CQ transformed exhaustion into empathy.Together we break down cultural intelligence as a practical skill you can build: understand your own defaults, recognize different norms without judging, create a plan before you enter a new space, and adapt your behavior so others feel at ease. Renae offers vivid examples—from ordering pizza in Seoul to navigating indirect communication in Japan—showing how small shifts in greeting, tone, and timing open doors. We also talk about heavy but vital travel: visiting Hiroshima's Peace Memorial and the power of paper cranes as a living wish for peace.You'll come away with simple, actionable ways to grow your CQ without leaving home: volunteer with local ESL programs, shop at international markets, watch K‑dramas or Bollywood films, and explore global music that connects American blues back to Mali. If you're planning a trip or leading teams across borders, Renae's Beyond Tourism training and assessment can help you prepare thoughtfully so every interaction builds trust rather than friction. Subscribe, share this conversation with a curious friend, and tell us: what's one habit you'll adapt to connect better on your next adventure?To learn more about Renae and to receive $80 off her Individual Intercultural Training ceck out www.goingbeyondtouris.com and mention you heard her on the show.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: A Hotpot Mishap: New Year's Eve Adventure in Taipei Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-12-28-23-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 在台北的冬日夜晚，热闹的火锅店里人声鼎沸，空气中弥漫着汤底浓郁的香气。En: On a winter night in Taipei, a lively hotpot restaurant was bustling with people, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of the broth.Zh: 红灯笼与金色装饰将整个餐厅点缀得温馨而喜庆。En: Red lanterns and golden decorations adorned the entire restaurant, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.Zh: 门旁贴着“新年快乐”，每个人脸上洋溢着期待的笑容。En: A Happy New Year sign was pasted by the door, and everyone's face was beaming with expectant smiles.Zh: 琳娜和她的好友江正围坐在一只咕嘟作响的鸳鸯锅前。En: Lina and her friend Jiang were sitting around a bubbling yuanyang pot.Zh: 琳娜是一名年轻的市场营销专业人员，做事细心却常常健忘。En: Lina, a young marketing professional, did her work carefully but often forgot things.Zh: 此刻，她注意力全在桌上的牛肉片和虾滑之中。En: At that moment, her attention was entirely focused on the beef slices and shrimp paste on the table.Zh: 江则忙着逗趣，给服务员打趣道：“过年不来吃火锅，那还叫什么生活！”En: Jiang, on the other hand, was busy joking with the waiter, saying, 'If you don't have hotpot for the New Year, is that even living!'Zh: 突然，琳娜的手机响了。En: Suddenly, Lina's phone rang.Zh: 她掏出手机，没发现自己的包发生了微妙的变化——一个棕色的皮包，静静地被放在她的位置。En: She took out her phone, not noticing a subtle change with her bag—a brown leather bag was quietly placed in her spot.Zh: 然而，琳娜并没有留意。En: However, Lina didn't pay attention to it.Zh: 不久，一位名叫明的陌生男子经过他们的桌边，走向出口。En: Before long, a stranger named Ming passed by their table, walking towards the exit.Zh: 明也是一名与朋友共度新年的单身汉。然而，明提着一个看似料峭的女士手提包，显然与他不符。En: Ming, also a bachelor spending New Year's with friends, was carrying what appeared to be a delicate women's handbag, clearly not matching his persona.Zh: 时间流转，琳娜终于意识到自己的包被换了。En: Time passed, and Lina finally realized her bag had been switched.Zh: 她脸色微红，紧张地低语：“江，我拿错包了。”En: Her face turned slightly red as she nervously whispered, 'Jiang, I took the wrong bag.'Zh: 考虑到餐厅里的人声和络绎不绝的宾客，琳娜不愿引起注意。En: Considering the bustling restaurant and the stream of guests, Lina didn't want to draw attention.Zh: “我得找回我的包，拜托帮个忙。”她对江说。En: 'I need to get my bag back, please help me,' she said to Jiang.Zh: 于是，这对搭档展开了行动。En: With that, the duo sprang into action.Zh: 江迅速扫视四周，锁定了那位已经快要走出门的明。En: Jiang quickly scanned the area, pinpointing Ming, who was nearly out the door.Zh: 江轻声笑道：“好，咱们来个不显山不露水的包包大作战。”En: Jiang chuckled softly, 'Alright, let's have a stealthy bag operation.'Zh: 两人起身，随着人群挪动，时不时地弯下腰以免引起别人的关注。En: They stood up and moved with the crowd, occasionally bending down to avoid drawing attention.Zh: 明似乎也很快发现了自己的包不对，站在门口有些茫然。En: Ming seemed to have quickly realized his wrong bag as well, standing bewildered at the entrance.Zh: 就在江准备打招呼时，琳娜因避开一位走过的服务员，不小心撞入了热闹的庆祝人群中，大声地喊着“新年快乐！”En: Just as Jiang was about to greet him, Lina, while trying to avoid a passing waiter, accidentally bumped into a lively celebrating crowd, loudly shouting, 'Happy New Year!'Zh: 所有人都跟着举起酒杯欢呼。En: Everyone followed her and raised their glasses in cheer.Zh: 琳娜不得不微笑着加入新年祝酒，满脸通红。En: Lina had no choice but to smile and join the New Year's toast, thoroughly blushing.Zh: 明也被这声势浩大吸引，看到了琳娜的囧境。En: Ming was also drawn by the grand scene and saw Lina's awkward situation.Zh: 几步赶上来，他在琳娜耳边低声说：“看来我们的包发生了小意外。”En: He quickly approached her and whispered, 'It seems our bags had a little mishap.'Zh: “是啊！”琳娜边微笑边说，心里松了一口气。En: 'Yes!' Lina said with a smile, feeling relieved inside.Zh: 在人们的微笑祝福中，他们迅速交换了包，正好赶上新年倒计时。En: Amid the smiles and blessings of the people, they swiftly exchanged bags just in time for the New Year countdown.Zh: 随着钟声敲响，琳娜和明共举杯，笑声混合在烟花的爆响中。En: As the clock struck, Lina and Ming raised their glasses, their laughter mingling with the booming fireworks.Zh: 通过这次意外，琳娜意识到，生活中的小错误并非全都需要那么完美来处置。En: Through this unexpected incident, Lina realized that not all small mistakes in life need to be dealt with perfectly.Zh: 迎着新年的祝福，她向快乐和放松的自己迈了一步。En: Embracing the New Year's blessings, she took a step towards a happier and more relaxed self.

In Kevin Staples' mind, there was always a point where the trip would end. He didn't expect to get through. The goal wasn't success — it was simply to go far enough to say he'd tried. To ride up to the wall, touch it, and be told to turn back. So he kept doing exactly that. Showing up. Asking the question. Taking one more step, fully expecting it to be the last. That isn't how it played out. By the time Kevin rode his motorcycle home, the road — and the world around him — looked very different than it had when he left.

From attractions closing sooner than expected to permits hinting at big changes in Islands of Adventure, this show looks both at what is ending and what might be coming next. They also zoom way out, from Epic Universe's nighttime ambitions to the possibility of Universal's next global park landing in a very hot climate.

This week, we're taking a brief pause before the next regular episode drops after Christmas. For many riders, this time of year isn't about motion or miles—it's about reflection. About looking back at where we've been, the choices we made along the way, and what still lies ahead. The road doesn't always demand constant movement. Sometimes, the most important moments happen when things go quiet—when we take stock, reconnect, and remember why we ride in the first place. Wherever you are, and however you're spending these days, we appreciate you taking the journey with us. Our regular episode comes out tomorrow. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

#198 - A story of wild trails, darker nights, and a love that wouldn't let go. I sat down with author and long-distance hiker Wing Williams to unpack his “howling twenties,” the constant motion that took him across 49 states, and the quiet rituals that hid a growing addiction. From Mount Washington to the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, Wing explains how the woods taught him endurance and community while alcohol promised relief from an unseen torment he now names as spiritual warfare.What follows is a candid look at rock bottom: seizures, medical detox, and the moment pride finally broke into surrender. Wing shares why asking for help is the bravest first step, how family showed up when it counted, and why spiritual and medical support must work together when alcohol has become a lifeline and a trap. We also explore the stark difference between hiking with a bottle and living strong in sobriety, the loneliness of being misunderstood, and the humble daily practices that keep recovery honest.Cinereal, Wing's new memoir, threads these pieces into a story about addiction, faith, and redemption that is both gritty and life-giving. You'll hear practical insights on recognizing early warning signs of dependency, how long trails like the AT and PCT become blueprints for resilience, and what it means to rebuild identity on purpose instead of performance. If you've ever felt lost in the silence after the summit, this conversation offers a handhold: hope is real, healing is possible, and you don't have to walk alone.If this episode moved you, tap follow, leave a quick review to help others find the show, and share it with a friend who needs to hear that redemption is still on the table.To learn more about Wing and his book check out wingwilliams.com and give him a follow on Instagram @cinerealememoir.Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

"evidence was wanted" [GOLD]  The final installment in our series on the Apocrypha of Sherlock Holmes brings us to "The Case of the Man Who was Wanted." Its discovery and provenance seems to have been both wanted and not wanted by the Conan Doyle brothers, who discovered it thanks to a biographer of their father in the 1940s.   How it came into their possession and the story behind what was once assumed to be the 61st Sherlock Holmes story — and its eventual debunking — is anything but a Trifle.    Find all of the Apocrypha series in one place (Patreon | Substack).   If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.
