Jack Donovan joins me to discuss what it means to be a man and defining true masculinity. During our conversation Jack and I explore who to trust, the fear of masculinity tied to protection, and how duty is tied to identity. Jack also dives into the concept of toxic masculinity and how to address it in everyday life. Jack Donovan is the author of The Way of Men — a straightforward, politically incorrect theory of masculinity that became an underground hit around the world.

Most people talk about discipline like it's a trendy habit. But for the best performers in the world — discipline is survival. In this episode, I sit down with Preston Caffery, entrepreneur, speaker, and performance coach, to unpack the raw truth about what it really takes to build something lasting. Preston shares his journey through moments of adversity that would break most people — and how he transformed those challenges into fuel. We dig into: ✅ The difference between playing not to lose vs. playing to win ✅ Why most entrepreneurs fail to build lasting habits (and how to fix it) ✅ The power of environment, community, and accountability ✅ The mindset shift you need to actually do the work when no one is watching This isn't theory. It's the blueprint Preston lives every day — and how he coaches others to do the same. If you're tired of feeling stuck, tired of waiting for the perfect time, or tired of looking for motivation instead of building discipline — listen up.

Alpha Hour Exhortation – Episode 1036
Sometimes we spend so much time talking to God -- telling God what to do, telling God what we want to know -- that God can't get a word in edgewise. What if God wanted to say something to us that we wouldn't think to ask? Would we be able to hear it? This Sunday Pastor Jeff launches a new sermon series entitled "What God Wants to Say to Us: Practical Guidance from the Book of Colossians." Instead of us bringing our questions to scripture, we're simply going to study what God wanted to say to the Christians in Colossae and, by extension, to us. Instead of bringing our agenda to scripture, we'll let scripture set the agenda -- and see what we might be missing.
We are doing a deep dive into the books of 1 and 2 Peter. Peter writes these letters to encourage the readers regarding how to live through difficult times. Enjoy!Speaker: Pastor Benjamin RamosSeries: STEADFAST THROUGH ADVERSITYScripture: 1 Peter 1:13-22

Jeremy B Hill, founder of JB Capital and father of three, has mastered what he playfully calls the "Hill Mafia" - a family dynamic where loyalty to each other trumps all else.Jeremy shares his journey from unconventional beginnings to creating a tight-knit family unit. Raised primarily by his grandparents after his parents divorced when he was two, Jeremy absorbed the old-school values of his grandfather - a suit-wearing, Tony Bennett-listening gentleman who taught him the importance of manners, integrity, and showing up properly for those you love.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Jeremy reveals his innovative "Questions Game" - a no-holds-barred, completely honest exchange of questions that transformed his relationships with his children from merely parent-child to deeply knowing each other as individuals. "My daughter got to know me as more than just her dad. She got to know me as Jeremy," he explains, highlighting how this vulnerability created unprecedented bonds.Jeremy makes a powerful distinction between the easy part of fatherhood (loving your kids) and the challenging part (leading them). He believes most fathers need to "up their dad game" by setting standards and helping children navigate decisions rather than just being their buddies. His practical advice includes prioritizing your spouse relationship, being mindful of your habits since "your kids are paying attention more than you realize," and giving yourself grace while maintaining high expectations.Whether you're struggling with work-life balance, wondering how to instill values in your children, or simply looking to strengthen your family bonds, Jeremy's refreshingly direct insights will inspire you to examine your own leadership at home. Listen now to discover how old-school values can create remarkably resilient modern families.Since founding JB Capital in 2003, the company has established itself as a leading provider of capital placement and advisory services in the US and Canadian lower middle markets.

Send us a textBuckle up for this one, its a really amazing, and extraordinary story of courage, will power, and total inspiration. Lindsay Boudreau had a very rare underlying illness, CMT Disease, that meant she had weakened sensations in her feet, and so she couldn't feel the pain of an infection caused by a nail she had stepped on, one day while walking. Over many weeks, she became very ill, and very weak, and doctors simply couldn't find what was wrong with her until it was too late. Eventually, on realizing the spreading infection could kill her, they took steps to amputate. Lindsay is a beacon of hope for those who are living life after limb loss, and even has a coaching business, helping other limb loss survivors and other medical trauma survivors, by building hope and resilience and practicing mindfulness and wellbeing.

Dr. Christopher Smith is a Board-Certified practicing physician who completed his residency and fellowship at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Smith currently lives in Pennsylvania and is a partner with Quantum Imaging and Therapeutic Associates. He dedicates time and resources to raising awareness of homeless children and finding solutions to help them overcome their situation. “Around the age of four, there was a big turning point in my life. My father lost his job at the steel mill. After that my parents struggled financially for the rest of my teenage years. We really had difficulty maintaining housing and lived for months at a time without basic utilities like heat or electricity. “By the time I was 16, my family and I had moved at least a couple dozen times. That year my family got evicted one more time and we had nowhere to go. It was my senior year of high school. My parents and 6 of my siblings stayed in a small motel room. I slept in the truck the entire year, and this was in Utah. It was so cold in winter that sometimes my hair would actually freeze at night. “But I had decided that there was no shortcut in life. I had to work through it and through all these difficult circumstances. I was willing to take risks. I made mistakes. I failed. But that was okay. I kept trying. That's part of the experience, the process and the idea of not quitting when you fail. "A lot of years of my life were very difficult, but I always tried to maintain a positive outlook on my life. I still always try to see potential, the good in the world now. “The statistical odds of me going from sleeping in a truck as a teenager to completing my medical degree at Johns Hopkins Hospital are so astronomically high that I personally think there was some intervention in my life, somebody looking out for me with the purpose of helping me view my past in a different light and of being able to share that with other people, inspiring them to learn from my past. That was my ultimate reason for writing the book Homeless to Hopkins and a children's version because children in poverty are often the most invisible homeless people of all.”

For the past 65 years I have been in an ongoing dialogue with my childhood friend, Howard (aka Howie) Brownstein. Howie used to work as a delivery driver for Mama's Pizzeria, which many of you know as the place I revere as cheesesteak heaven. When he couldn't work his shifts he would ask me to fill in for him and the inter-weaving aromas of Mama's super-cheesy pizzas and juicy cheesesteaks (both of which relying on Mama's secret 3-cheese blend) embedded a powerful taste and olfactory memory, associated specifically with Mama's, that has forever driven my never-ending quest for the perfect pizza. In the meantime, Howard became an internationally successful expert in something called "turnaround and crisis management." For the past forty years, he has regaled me with stories of his adventures interceding for companies (and their families) for whom he is often their last hope before they lose everything. His "turnaround" journey is not unlike my own adventures with pizza (except that turnaround intervention pays much better) and it also serves as another ideal metaphor for the journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the overcoming of adversity, as you will hear in this engaging conversation with the best "fixer" I know. Enjoy....
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tristian Smith, author of the book Against All Odds. Tristian Smith is not just an author—he's a living testament to resilience and transformation. His powerful memoir, "Against All Odds," chronicles his harrowing journey from a turbulent foster care system—where he lived in over 25 homes and attended 13 different schools—to emerging as a United States Army Officer, foster youth advocate, and inspiring speaker. Tristian's unique story combines firsthand experience with a deep commitment to changing the narrative for foster youth. He brings not only a compelling personal history but also actionable insights on overcoming adversity, the importance of mentorship, and the urgent need for systemic reform in foster care. Podcast hosts looking for a guest who can engage audiences on topics ranging from personal transformation and mental health to advocacy and veteran experiences will find Tristian's story both moving and motivational. Book him to share a narrative that is as impactful as it is inspiring. In my book review, I stated Against All Odds by Tristian Smith is a memoir, as well as a how-to manual for surviving in and fixing the foster care system. Tristian found himself in the foster system as a young boy. Like most kids in the system, they are there through no fault of their own. These kids keep hoping to find connection and security - something that, according to Tristian, is rare to find in the current foster care system. After helping readers understand his own story and how it felt to be pushed and pulled from home to home like an object rather than a person, he spends the second half of the book talking to kids in the system and people concerned with the system. After reading the book, I felt an urgency to find a way to help create a better system for the kids who find themselves in need of care. I have also begun looking into being a mentor for teens as they move toward aging out of the system.

Send us a textIt is an absolute pleasure to have Dr Maurice Turmel on the show for a candid, relatable, and inspiring chat. Dr. Moe's path wasn't a straight one—it was hard-won. His father was physically abusive, and he grew up surrounded by strict Catholic indoctrination. Emerging from a childhood marked by emotional trauma, religious repression, and self-doubt, he forged a transformative journey of healing and self-emancipation. His life's work is a testament to the power of the human spirit to rise. Over the decades, he broke free from harmful early programming and came to embrace a simple, liberating truth. Turmel spent more than 25 years in clinical practice, counselling individuals, families, and organizations. His message pulses through his writing, music, and teachings. Dr. Turmel has authored numerous books including his latest, Breaking the Spell of Religion & Healing the Trauma. Thank you Maurice!

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with John Nguyen, CEO of Heritage Line. In our conversation, John shares his passion for his home in Southeast Asia and describes his luxury cruise line, how he developed it, and how they deliver on unique experiences by going to places that most tour operators cannot access. John describes partnerships that he has built with competing river cruise companies to help develop sustainable practices and facilitate connections between locals and international visitors that make a positive impact. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How John Nguyen overcame losing his sight and used it as inspiration to launch two successful businesses in Southeast Asia's luxury travel sector Why honoring local communities and creating positive impacts in the destinations he visits is central to John's business philosophy What makes Heritage Line's luxury river cruises unique including access to hidden, off-the-beaten-path villages and authentic guest experiences How John developed partnerships and collaborations to promote sustainable practices and protect the villages visited by river cruises Why relationships, word-of-mouth, and tailored experiences have been fundamental to reaching high-end international travelers and building reputable brands How John and his teams implement philanthropic initiatives such as vocational training and literacy programs to support and empower local communities What inspires John's ongoing projects and new destination explorations, including his process for identifying and creating exceptional travel experiences in emerging regions Adversity to Industry Leader Growing up along the Perfume River in Hue, Vietnam, John was surrounded by a rich culture, history, and a profound sense of place. These early influences fueled his passion for boating and inspired the creation of guest experiences that combine authentic local connections with high-end service. After losing his sight in the late 1990s and faced with the daunting prospect of unemployment, John chose entrepreneurship instead. He launched his first venture, Trails of Indochina, in 1999, even before luxury tourism infrastructure existed in Vietnam. Despite the limited five-star accommodations available at the time, John believed that travelers would value unique, immersive experiences over amenities alone. “I was able to persuade people to stay at just decent hotels, but they got the opportunity to really experience authentic and unique experiences in the region.” This focus on access, storytelling, and local connection formed the foundation for his later river cruise company, Heritage Line. Small Ships with a Big Impact By operating boutique ships with as few as six to 27 cabins, Heritage Line is able to visit secluded villages and rarely accessed corners of the Mekong and other major waterways. This approach not only creates exclusivity for travelers but also preserves the intimacy and integrity of local communities. Guests may visit villages where electricity is a novelty, collaborate with locals on traditional crafts such as textile weaving and wood carving, and support philanthropic projects, including building wells and eradicating illiteracy. Travelers have the opportunity to really learn more about how locals live. Collaboration Over Competition As Southeast Asia's tourism profile has grown, John has witnessed an influx of international operators, some with larger, less community-integrated ships. Rather than seeing them strictly as rivals, John champions “coopetition.” Heritage Line works directly with other cruise companies to build sustainable practices and prevent the negative impacts of overtourism. By coordinating with these “friendly competitors,” John and his peers can spread the benefits of tourism more equitably, develop vocational and philanthropic programs, and ensure that the arrival of travelers enhances rather than disrupts local communities. Notably, Heritage Line has spearheaded projects to provide clean water, vocational training for marginalized groups, and even tackle illiteracy through book donations and mobile libraries. For John, the true essence of travel lies in its ability to forge meaningful, transformational connections. Whether helping a guest donate a sampan (boat) to a family, bringing books to a remote village, or enabling visitors to join local festivals, Heritage Line's experiences go beyond passive sightseeing.
