Podcasts about Ambition

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

The American Revolution wasn't just a colonial rebellion; it was a global conflict shaped by European rivalries and high-stakes diplomacy. Without the help of foreign allies like France and Spain, the United States might never have won its independence. Historian John Ferling joins us to explore the international dimensions of the Revolutionary War. Drawing from his new book Shots Heard Round the World, Ferling reveals how secret aid, political gambles, and naval power from Europe (especially France) influenced the outcome of the war, and nearly derailed it.

  Guest: Randell Holmes, Jr., college student/athlete at Texas A&M University, author of Daily Devotional for Teen Boys   As a young man, Randell found his identity in football…but in college, something changed. To be honest, what changed was Randell himself. God truly got a hold of Randell's heart, his life, his passion and his trajectory in life changed forever! Randell went from a “football player” to a young man passionately pursuing a relationship with the Lord.   Great reminder from Randell that walking with Jesus is a relationship…and for a relationship to grow and mature, it takes intentionality - time, energy, focus. If you want to get closer to God, get in the Word, spend time in prayer, and find an older, more mature Christian man to disciple you. Some guys don't want to “get closer” to God - they are fine with “distance” because then they control the relationship - but that's like having a Ferrari and driving it in first gear - it's time to shift and accelerate that relationship!   What's next for Randell - well, he's off to an incredible place called Campus by the Sea, a Christian camp on Catalina Island in sunny California! Join me in praying for Randell and this incredible opportunity to impact the lives of others! And don't forget to come back next week for the incredible continuation of our conversation with Randell.   Randell's book is part of a 3-part series that covers young men from youth through college: Devotions for Preteen Boys by Randell Holmes, Jr. and Chandler Fletcher Daily Devotionals for Teen Boys (ages 14-16) by Randell Holmes, Jr. Daily Devotionals for College Men by Brett Trefren T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

FILE 3. THE MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT AND TERRITORIAL AMBITION. GUEST AUTHOR SEAN MCMEEKIN. McMeekin explains that the 1939 appointment of Molotov signaled Stalin's shift toward collaboration with Hitler, leading to the Moscow Pact. Stalin used this alliance opportunistically to reclaim imperial Russian territories in Poland, Finland, and the Baltics, while British leadership, including Churchill, largely accepted these aggressive moves as a necessary buffer against Germany,.1943 TEHRAN

Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan kick off the new year with a powerful conversation on time, ambition, and how Entrepreneurs can stay calm, focused, and fulfilled in a rapidly changing world LIVE. From creating a "great yesterday" to redefining ambition, connection, and progress, this episode delivers practical wisdom for building a better business—and a better life. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: The unexpected question Dan asks people that immediately changes how they think about their future, their health, and what actually matters. A subtle shift in how Dan thinks about time which he says is helping him stay present and surprisingly calm, even as everything accelerates. Why Dan believes most people misunderstand chaos, and how accepting a few uncomfortable truths can actually be stabilizing. How AI changes what it means to think well, and why being human may become more valuable, not less. A different way to think about ambition that challenges the idea that you eventually "run out of gas." A single question that can interrupt overwhelm and open up options you weren't seeing before. Why pain explains more human behavior than motivation, discipline, or willpower ever will. Dan's personal definition of a well-lived life and why progress, contribution, and self-acceptance all matter. Why we chose to do this conversation live and interactive instead of tightly produced and polished.

Fashion icon and founder Cynthia Rowley joins us for a powerful conversation about building a global brand while raising a family, and refusing to choose between ambition and motherhood. Cynthia opens up about losing her husband at 34, becoming a mom later in life, and navigating single motherhood while continuing to grow a massive fashion empire without guilt. She shares how she integrated her children into her life and work, created a tight-knit family dynamic, set strong boundaries around family time, and modeled that work can be a source of joy and fulfillment, something her kids now carry with them, too.We talk about taking risks while holding the responsibility of motherhood, releasing the mental load, navigating “nepotism” commentary, and what it's been like for her daughters to carve their own paths while still choosing to live with her in their 20s (the ultimate definition of success). With decades of perspective, Cynthia offers wisdom on reinvention, self-trust, and a beautiful example of how motherhood is additive—not something that takes away from your identity, career, or creativity.

Do evangelicals really lack cultural elites — and if so, does it matter?An essay in First Things argues that evangelicals have failed to cultivate elites in America's most influential institutions, leaving them underrepresented in culture-shaping domains like media, academia, and politics. In this episode, we examine author Aaron Renn's claims, question his definition of “elite,” and explore where the argument resonates — and where it falls apart. We discuss populism within evangelicalism, the absence of a robust theology of vocation, the tension evangelicals feel toward ambition and power, and reflect on how the gospel reframes ambition, faithfulness, and cultural impact.Chapters: (0:00) Introductions: Evangelical Elites?

Jérôme Rothen se chauffe contre un autre consultant, un éditorialiste ou un acteur du foot.

Dating in 2026 can feel… bleak. Everyone is analyzing “red flags,” burned out on dating apps, and building emotional walls to stay safe out there. Sound relatable? In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Amanda Goetz sits down with relationship expert Amy Chan—founder of Renew Breakup Bootcamp, bestselling author of Breakup Bootcamp, and author of the upcoming book Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts—to talk about what's actually going wrong in modern dating (especially for ambitious women) and how to date smarter. Amy breaks down why high-achieving women can accidentally bring “CEO energy” into their love lives—turning dating into a project, over-functioning, and doing 90% of the work.

From the BBC World Service: It's day two of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where President Donald Trump's goal of acquiring Greenland continues to preoccupy European leaders, as he attempts to project military and economic power over NATO allies.

What does it really look like to pursue excellence over a decade — through injury, uncertainty, quiet rebuilds, and breakthrough moments that seem sudden only from the outside?In this episode of Trail Society, host Corrine Malcolm sits down with one of her closest friends and most compelling athletes in the sport: Abby Hall. Fresh off her 2025 Western States 100 victory, Abby reflects on the long road that led there — and why the “messy middle” matters just as much as the podium.This conversation is less about one race and more about a philosophy: making it "cool to care," showing up honestly, and staying in it when things don't go to plan.Together, Corrine and Abby dig into the rhythms of professional running beyond the highlight reels — from late-day training runs and household logistics to mindset shifts, team alignment, and the vulnerability of saying “I want to win.”Whether you're chasing podiums, consistency, or just a deeper connection to why you run, this episode offers a powerful reminder: there's no one right way to do this — but there is value in doing it fully.It's a thoughtful, funny, deeply human conversation about longevity, grit, and what it means to grow alongside a sport that's also growing up.Support our partners:This episode is brought to you by rabbit.

The World Economic Forum at the Swiss resort of Davos has been dominated by President Trump's ambition to take control of Greenland, and his threat to impose tariffs on European countries that resist. EU leaders could be hitting back with tariffs of their own. So, what are the market reactions in the US and in Europe? Also, it was tariffs on allies, tariffs on rivals, tariffs that sent shockwaves through the global economy. One industry that felt the impact is cars. We will hear businesses in South Africa, the US, and Canada. (Photo: US President Donald Trump holds a press briefing with reporters at the White House in Washington, DC, USA, 20 January 2025.

Gaius and Germanicus convene in winter Londinium to debate the American Emperor Trump's bold proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark, framing this ambition not as mere resource acquisition but as a demonstration of imperial authority in the manner of ancient conquerors. Germanicus argues that NATO's opposition to the scheme reveals deep fractures within the alliance, fractures the Emperor exploits through tariffs and economic coercion to enforce obedience among vassal states. The strategic calculus centers on the "GIUK gap"—the naval chokepoint between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom—and the opening Arctic passages as polar ice recedes and Chineseambitions expand northward, circumstances they compare to World War II-era occupations designed to protect the Western Hemisphere from hostile powers. Germanicus posits that purchasing Greenland serves primarily as ritualistic display, for the Empire cannot presently risk actual war with major rivals like China or Russia, and must therefore project dominance through economic might and symbolic victories. The debaters conclude that while Denmark publicly resists, a face-saving "condominium arrangement" represents the most likely resolution, permitting the United States to maintain its status as dominant world power through the instruments of economic pressure and theatrical triumph rather than the spilling of legionary blood.1899 GREENLAND

Ambition. Is it a dirty word? Do you love the term, or hate it? In this Hello Monday episode from the archives, Jessi Hempel sits down with two incredible colleagues at LinkedIn, Hayley Saltzman and Ahyiana Angel, to explore how our understanding of ambition evolves, and what it means to chase personal growth rather than external validation. Hayley Saltzman is an Editor at Large at LinkedIn, focusing on vertical video strategy. Ahyiana Angel was the Podcast Ad Ops Producer at LinkedIn and the host of her own podcast called Switch, Pivot, or Quit. Together, they reflect on how ambition is often shaped by external expectations and how true fulfillment comes when we start living for ourselves. In this episode, Jessi, Ahyiana, and Hayley discuss: The tension between extrinsic and intrinsic ambition Our gendered notions of ambition, and how society's definition of ambition is often limiting for women What happens when you quit a dream job to pursue something more aligned with personal growth The relationship between fear and ambition Practical tips for reconnecting with your own ambitions and self-worth If you've ever questioned what success and ambition truly mean for you, this episode is for you. Whether you're navigating career transitions or redefining what ambition looks like in your life, we hope this conversation will inspire you to live and work authentically.

Ambition doesn't have to be loud to be powerful. In this special cross-show episode, Stephanie joins forces with Holly Haynes of Crush the Rush for a deeply honest conversation with Amanda Goetz of Girlboss about redefining success, confidence, and what it actually means to “have it all” in real life. Together, they unpack the myth that ambition should look the same in every season and explore why confidence grows when we stop forcing ourselves into one-dimensional definitions of success. From building a life-first business to honoring the different “roles” we play each day (leader, parent, partner, creative) this conversation invites you to step out of hustle-for-hustle's-sake and into intentional ambition. Amanda shares powerful insights from her own journey as a founder, CMO, author, and mom, including how learning to work in seasons (instead of all at once) changed everything. They talk about the hidden cost of comparison, why rest isn't something you earn, and how confidence is built through self-trust, not perfection. If you've ever felt pulled between wanting more and wanting space, this episode is your reminder that you don't need to choose. You're allowed to want depth, growth, joy, and rest... just not all at the same volume at the same time. Today we cover:What a “life-first” business actually looks like in practiceWhy ambition doesn't have to be one-dimensionalHow confidence grows when you stop doing everything at onceThe power of transition rituals between work, parenting, and restLetting go of guilt, perfection, and the pressure to prove yourself Connect with Amanda:Website: https://www.amandagoetz.com/ Life's a Game Newsletter: https://amandagoetz.kit.com/posts Toxic Grit: https://amzn.to/4jEXk8A Connect with Holly:Website: www.hollymariehaynes.comInstagram: @thehollymariehaynes Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.comStephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_The Other 85: https://theother85.net/ Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

SOVIET UNION'S SECRET 1972 LUNAR BASE AMBITIONS AND THE N1 ROCKET FAILURE Colleague Anatoli Zak, Publisher of RussianSpaceWeb.com. Anatoli Zak explains that in 1972, the Soviet Union pursued the L3M project to establish a permanent lunar base, refusing to concede the moon race immediately. However, repeated failures of the N1 rocket and the financial strain of competing with the US Space Shuttle eventually forced the program's cancellation. NUMBER 13MARCH 1959

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY: GUEST ANATOL LIEVEN. British Military Ambition and the Reality of US Dependency. Anatol Lieven criticizes the British military-industrial complex for influencing government policy without pushback.

It's been a little more than a week since the United States invaded Venezuela and abducted its president Nicolás Maduro. Trump has contended that Venezuela, which reportedly has the world's largest known oil reserves, has "unilaterally seized and sold American oil." There's a lot to discuss about the geopolitical context and how it intersects with new energy developments. Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is the creator of a new energy plan and joins Chris Hayes to talk about that plan, his reaction to Venezuela and more.   Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.
