Joseph De Gregorio was raised in a good family and built a successful career on Wall Street, but the 2008 market crash derailed everything. After losing his footing, he started his own business, which eventually turned into a fraud scheme—a decision he ultimately took responsibility for by coming clean and turning himself in to authorities. At the same time, Joseph was battling a severe alcohol addiction, drinking himself to the point of needing a liver transplant. He was later sentenced to federal prison, where he faced harsh conditions and medical challenges while serving time in a federal medical center prison. After his release, Joseph reinvented his life, dedicating himself to helping others navigate the justice system through prison consulting and sentence mitigation work, turning his darkest chapter into a mission to help people avoid the same mistakes. _____________________________________________ #IAlmostDied #PrisonSurvival #AddictionRecovery #TrueCrimeStories #LifeAfterPrison #RedemptionStory #PrisonLife #survivorstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to FRONTLINE HEALING FOUNDATION for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://frontlinehealingfoundation.org/ to donate or share their mission. _____________________________________________ Connect with Joseph De Gregorio: Website: https://www.jnadvisor.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jnadvisor-joseph/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Wall Street Success to Federal Prison 02:40 Who He Was Before Everything Fell Apart 11:10 Childhood, Ambition & the Drive to Win 19:16 Inside Wall Street: Money, Power & Pressure 30:08 The 2008 Financial Crash That Changed Everything 39:47 Addiction, Burnout & Losing Control 47:32 Liver Failure, Transplant & Near-Death Hospital Battle 01:03:53 Getting Sober: AA, Accountability & Truth 01:11:20 Turning Himself In to Federal Authorities 01:22:13 Federal Prison While Medically Compromised 01:35:48 Release, Home Confinement & Supervised Release Reality 01:40:58 Life After Prison: Education, Purpose & Reinvention 01:52:00 Beating the System: Mitigation Strategy Explained 02:01:53 Legal Tech, Consulting & The Future of Defense 02:09:40 Final Lessons, Advice & How to Contact Him Learn more about your ad choices.

If you feel stuck between wanting peace and wanting progress, this conversation will land.

He teaches practical business skills online through MBA ASAP and has reached 37,000+ students globally via Udemy.

Susan and Diana, and they go all in on The Devil Wears Prada with a feminist lens. From Miranda Priestly as “boss goals” vs “system survivor,” to Andy's relationships cracking under the weight of ambition, this conversation gets real about emotional labor, workplace expectations, and how often women are judged no matter what choice they make. They also hit the fashion industry angle, body standards, and why this movie still lands so hard when you've lived any version of that job life.Content note: adult language.00:00 Welcome back, short staffed energy, and what kind of week this has been01:02 What we're drinking tonight (peppermint tea, Diet Coke survival mode)02:43 Real life updates and the chaos of trying to keep everything moving07:49 Starting the review: why The Devil Wears Prada counts here anyway08:19 Quick recap setup and first reactions09:15 First impressions, why the movie hits, and the “Princess Diaries vibes” moment10:45 Sequel talk, expectations, and why they picked this one right now13:16 Question 1: feminism and power, and whether Miranda is empowerment or compromise17:08 The “what if Miranda were a man?” reframing and how perception changes18:55 Question 2: relationships, ambition, and the way success gets treated differently27:50 Real world workplace story time: dress codes, sexism, and standing your ground35:41 Question 3: emotional labor, invisible work, and the assistant grind37:17 The scene that humanizes Miranda, plus the cost of choosing work every time43:29 Final question: is the fashion industry empowering, exploitative, or both?48:50 How this connects to leadership roles in education and who gets pushed where52:55 The vote: does it belong in the Hall of Fame?53:35 Sequel nerves and closing thoughtsThe movie still resonates because it nails the real tradeoffs of chasing a career goal, especially when the system was not built with you in mind.Miranda can read as both a villain and a mirror for what “power” looks like when women are expected to be perfect and soft at the same time.Andy's relationship storyline becomes a bigger conversation about how women's ambition gets treated like a problem to solve.Emotional labor is everywhere in this story, from anticipating needs to managing pressure while being judged for how you react to it.The fashion world in the film feels like both empowerment and control, especially around appearance and “fitting the part.”A lot of the conversation comes back to the same theme: women get punished for choices that would be praised in men.“Does Miranda represent empowerment, or does she reflect the compromises a woman makes within the patriarchal system?”“Damned if you do, damned if you don't.”“You can fire me, but then I'm just going to sue you.”“Miranda wants a steak at 9 a.m.”“Thank you for making me watch it… your girls fired up about it.”If you enjoyed this one, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the next review.

A soft life or ambition culture—what would you choose?We've been taught that success has to be loud, exhausting, and earned through constant grind. That rest is something you get after you've proven yourself. But what if that belief is outdated?In this episode, we unpack the quiet tension between wanting more and wanting peace. We talk about redefining ambition, unlearning hustle culture, and allowing ourselves to build a life that feels both fulfilling and sustainable. One where growth doesn't come at the cost of your nervous system, and softness doesn't mean settling.This conversation is an invitation to question the narratives you've inherited—and to explore what success looks like when it's rooted in alignment, not pressure. Because maybe the goal was never to choose between a soft life and ambition…Maybe the real work is learning how to hold both.

Welcome to Paranormal Spectrum, where we illuminate the enigmatic corners of the supernatural world. I'm your host, Barnaby Jones, and today we have a very special guest joining us:Angela Zabel is an intuitive guide, medium, and spiritual teacher who has communicated with other forms of consciousness since childhood. What began as a young girl's ability to see those who had passed evolved into a deep, lifelong practice of receiving guidance and comfort from the spiritual realm. Through her own experiences connecting with departed family members, Angela realized that these gifts were meant to be shared, helping others bridge the gap between our physical world and the spirit side.Throughout her career, Angela has transitioned from individual readings and public expos to a broader mission of spiritual education. Her work is rooted in the belief that personal and spiritual growth are intricately linked. She teaches that by understanding our own nature as spirits, we can unlock untapped strength and create lives of genuine joy. Rather than following rigid religious or metaphysical rules, Angela encourages her students to embrace their own unique path and energy.Today, Angela shares her insights through a variety of platforms, including in-person and online classes, retreats, and webinars. She views the multi-dimensional plane of existence as a resource available to everyone and seeks to help others recognize the divinity within themselves. While she believes our connection to the divine is personal and requires no intermediary, Angela considers it her greatest honor to serve as a guide who helps light the way for others on their journey of discovery.Angela's Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/angelazabelllc/Angela's Websitehttps://www.angelazabel.com/Angela's Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@angelazabelteachercoachmed7488/featuredAngela's Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@angelazabel?lang=enClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

Most people think money fixes everything. It doesn't. It just exposes what you never defined in the first place. My recent conversation with Sharran Srivatsaa (Acquisition.com President) starts with a quiet tension: building something big while trying not to lose the people who matter most. Fatherhood. Money. Ambition. Guilt. All colliding at once. The truth is this: More income without a framework doesn't buy freedom. It buys anxiety with better branding. In this episode, we go deep on what actually works: • Why freezing your lifestyle is the real cheat code • The exact definition of financial freedom (no vibes, just math) • How to run a family P&L like a real business • Why most entrepreneurs are chasing income instead of equity • The parenting framework that removes guilt without quitting the mission • How to stop "working harder" and start diagnosing what's broken • The difference between growth and scale (and why confusing them keeps you stuck) Not with SMART goals. Not with KPIs. Not with OKRs or any of that MBA bullshit. But with simple rules, clear scoreboards, and decisions you can actually live with. One line hit hard: "If you don't know what 'enough' is, you'll never feel like you're winning." This isn't theory. It's lived experience. Five exits. 20+ years. Millions made (and millions lost). And a framework that now runs: the business the money and the family (without everything bleeding into everything else). If you're building fast but feeling off… If money keeps increasing but peace doesn't… If you're winning on paper but questioning the cost… This episode is for you. Watch it slowly, and take notes. Then decide what enough actually means for you.

Wisdom can ultimately be reduced to the simple process of avoiding that which makes you go weak.Not adding more.Subtracting what drains you.The law of attraction tells you to want more, manifest more, attract more. But wanting implies you don't have. "I want" never gets—because the universe is a jokester. When you seek, you confirm you lack. When you subtract what makes you weak, you radiate abundance. That's when opportunities find you ready. Not because you forced them. Because you changed.Take 3 seconds. Make a list of what you do. Trust your gut. You'll understand your relationship to what weakens you. Earned dopamine from splitting wood versus shallow pleasure from scrolling. The bee and butterfly don't force attraction—they're naturally drawn to flowers. You can have material wealth, but walk the tightrope: too many unnecessary things steal the space and freedom needed for wisdom.This episode reveals why attraction is achieved through subtraction, how seeking more confirms the prison of ambition, and the necessary subtraction of non-serving parts of yourself. When you can't bend, you break. Stop forcing. Start subtracting. Listen if you're ready to invert everything you thought you knew about getting what you want.

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today's conversation I sit down with powerhouse publicist KJ Blattenbauer, a champion for bold brands and especially female founders. With nearly three decades of PR experience, KJ shares her unapologetic approach to visibility, reframing the word “bossy” as a badge of leadership, credibility, and empowerment rather than an insult. Together, KJ and I dive into the challenges women face around judgment, fear of being “too much,” and the conditioning that encourages us to shrink instead of shining in our ambition. This episode is packed with real talk about embracing your power, the importance of claiming authority, navigating corporate dynamics, and why being your own hype woman is not just okay—it's essential. From stories about corporate America to advice for women wanting to blaze their own path, KJ offers inspiration, tangible strategies, and a big permission slip to be visible and authentic—bossiness and all. If you've ever worried about being called “too bossy,” this conversation will help you see it as your superpower. Let's get into it! Key Takeaways: The distinction between hard work out of alignment vs. hard work that fuels passion Importance of “brand words” and consistently owning one's narrative The importance of lifting each other up and breaking the cycle Key Timestamps [1:05] – Permission to Be Yourself [9:26] – Share Your Creation Boldly [19:33] – Reprogramming Leadership for Women [33:08] – Hard Work and Midlife Joy [37:30] – Visibility Advice for Ambitious Women [41:06] - Defining and Showcasing Brand Identity Episode Quote "Why am I apologizing for who I am? Why am I apologizing that my clients are like family? Like, I'm gonna defend you and cheer for you like a mob wife. I truly believe there's something about loyalty and being there.

Most people don’t fail at buying a business because they’re not smart enough.They fail because—without realizing it—they’re setting themselves up to lose before they even begin. In this solo episode of the BOB podcast, Jaryd Krause goes off-script and gets brutally honest about the real reasons people struggle to acquire online businesses, and why these same patterns show up in money, business, and life. This isn’t a tactical “how-to” episode.It’s a mindset reset. Jaryd breaks down the five biggest reasons people fail at buying a business, drawing from his own journey, his work with buyers around the world, and the patterns he sees repeatedly derail otherwise capable people. You’ll learn: Why you don’t need to know how to run or buy a business before acquiring one How “good” advice becomes dangerous when you treat general guidance as personal truth Why most people are mentally unprepared for the acquisition process—even when they have the money How impatience and unrealistic timelines quietly sabotage deals The uncomfortable truth about why wanting a business isn’t enough—and when change only happens out of necessity Jaryd also dives into cultural differences, ambition, pain as a driver of success, and why some people push through every obstacle while others stall indefinitely. This episode is raw, reflective, and unapologetically real.

What if stepping back wasn't failure, but strategy? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, I sit down with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause, for one of the most validating conversations I've had about ambition, identity, and motherhood. Neha names something so many women feel but rarely have language for: the tension between wanting a meaningful career and wanting to be deeply present with our children, without burning ourselves out or betraying ourselves in the process. She reframes the idea of a “career pause” as an empowered, intentional choice, not a step backward, but a recalibration. We talk about why motherhood has been intellectually and culturally diminished, how internalized capitalism keeps women stuck in guilt loops, and why the most ambitious thing you can sometimes do is choose what matters most right now. This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply relieving, especially if you've ever felt like you were failing at something when you were actually just listening to your intuition. If you've ever felt pulled between ambition and presence… this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore: • Why motherhood has been “dumbed down” culturally • The concept of the Power Pause, and why language matters • How to make intentional choices without shame or guilt • Ambition vs. intuition (and why it doesn't have to be either/or) • Internalized patriarchy and capitalism in working motherhood • Seasonality, boundaries, and redefining success • Why presence matters more than hours About Neha Ruch Neha Ruch is the founder of Mother Untitled, a leading platform for ambitious women navigating parenthood, and the author of The Power Pause. Her work is reshaping how society understands stay-at-home motherhood, ambition, and identity. Neha has been featured on Oprah, USA Today, and beyond. Where This Work Continues This episode touches on questions we explore more deeply inside Level 3 — how to redefine success, work with seasons instead of against them, and make choices that actually support the life you're living now. Level 3 focuses on the inner practices that help those choices feel steady and sustainable. Explore Level 3 here:

Today's guest sits right at the intersection of ambition, emotional intelligence, and the science of love — and this conversation is one I know so many of you will feel deeply. I'm joined by Melissa Nanavati, a speaker, author, and Relationship Architect who helps high performers build peaceful, thriving relationships without sacrificing their big goals. Melissa blends neuroscience, biology, and lived experience to teach ambitious women how to apply the same skills that make them successful in business… to love. Despite early success as a textbook author and Fortune 100 consultant, Melissa found herself stuck in anxious attachment and went on over 100 first dates before meeting her husband. What happened next is powerful — in their first year together, they raised $1.1 million while running two businesses. Through that journey, Melissa developed science-backed frameworks that support executives, founders, and driven women who want relationships that feel secure, grounded, and aligned with who they're becoming. In this episode, we dive into love, attachment, ambition, nervous system regulation, dating, healing, and what it truly takes to thrive in partnership as a high performer. If you've ever felt like you can excel in business but struggle in relationships — this conversation is for you. You're not broken. You've just never been given the frameworks. And Melissa is here to change that. What We Cover in This Episode

Are you chasing every gold star, climbing every ladder, and nailing every "right" mark—only to find yourself missing out on real fulfillment and meaningful connection? The relentless pursuit of achievement can sometimes leave us feeling lonely, disconnected from ourselves, and trapped in relationships that don't truly nourish our hearts. When ambition runs amok, the cost may be far greater than just burnout or missed vacation days—it can lead to self-abandonment and relationships that feel more like a cage than a home. In this episode, you'll discover how overachievement and perfectionism can sabotage our capacity for genuine connection—and what it takes to turn things around.

In this episode, Therese Markow, Dr. Jerald Kay, and Dr. Joel Yager discuss the various forms of ambition: lack of ambition, mismatched ambition, Machiavellian ambition, and how to deal with malignant narcissists.     Key Takeaways: There are biological underpinnings to ambition, but much of what we know about ambition is built on repeated interactions as children.  Not everyone who is Machiavellian is ambitious. Not everyone ambitious is Machiavellian. But when you have people who have dark triad characteristics, it can mean trouble for those around them.  There are levels of narcissism. Only some are treatable. The last division of severe narcissism is called malignant personality disorder and is relatively untreatable.   "It's both nature and nurture. We know ambition runs in families. And we know kids that are adopted into families with ambitious parents turn out to be more ambitious than if they weren't adopted into those kinds of families." —  Dr. Joel Yager   Episode References: https://journals.lww.com/jonmd/fulltext/2023/04000/ambition_and_its_psychopathologies.1.aspx   Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, Sean Morgan sits down with Jonathan Moynihan, Lead Pastor of Mosaic Christian Church in Baltimore, to explore a leadership journey shaped more by formation than ambition. Jonathan shares how what he once assumed was a call to church planting unexpectedly became a rapid succession into the lead pastor role—after years of hidden preparation, inner work, and confronting unhealthy ambition. Together, Sean and Jonathan unpack themes of calling versus opportunity, the dangers of tying worth to performance, and how silence, solitude, and failure became essential tools God used to form Jonathan into a healthier, more grounded leader. This honest conversation offers a rare look at the interior life of leadership, reminding pastors that God's primary work is often deeper than visible success. Welcome to Episode 149 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.

Higher Ed AV PodcastEpisode 337The Long-Awaited Special Guest EpisodeIn this special episode of the Higher Ed AV Podcast, Joe welcomes a long-awaited guest, his wife, Amy, for a candid, hilarious conversation that pulls back the curtain on their life behind the scenes. Together, they reflect on the sacrifices, support, and real-world tradeoffs that shaped Joe's career journey, balancing ambition, family, and the grind of leadership. The episode closes on a powerful note as Amy shares a message about grace and contentment, reminding listeners they don't have to build their lives alone.The conversation opens with pure “Way household” energy, Joe and Amy playfully spar over his signature intro, the pressure of being on video, and what it's like stepping into a space where thousands of listeners feel familiar, even if Amy would rather stay behind the scenes. Joe admits he rarely scripts episodes, but tries this time… only to watch it immediately go off the rails in the best way. It's light, authentic, and sets the tone for an episode that feels more like a front-porch conversation than a formal interview.From there, they move into the real stuff: their blended family, the behind-the-curtain reality of Joe's career trajectory, and the seasons where Amy carried extra weight at home while Joe pursued degrees and chased the next calling. Amy speaks candidly about what that looked like day-to-day with kids, schedules, dinner, the emotional load while Joe acknowledges the cost and names something many leaders forget. Career growth is rarely an individual accomplishment… it's often built on unseen support, shared sacrifice, and a partner willing to hold the rope while you climb.They also take a fun detour through “conference life” as Amy describes being dropped into the pro AV world with trips to Barcelona and Bangkok, rooftop bars, industry personalities, and the moments that made her realize this community is both nerdy and genuinely relational. But her sharpest insight comes as an outsider looking in… Titles don't impress her, character does. That perspective becomes a mirror for Joe's imposter syndrome and constant drive for “more,” and it lands as a timely lesson for leaders: not everyone is chasing the same ladder, and success isn't always promotion, it's alignment with what matters most.By the end, this episode stops being “Joe finally got Amy on the mic” and becomes an enduring a reminder that the best leadership is anchored before it's amplified. The laughs are real, but so is the message… Ambition without connection will always feel hollow, and achievement without gratitude will never feel like enough. Whether you're building a career, a team, or a legacy, the takeaway is simple, don't do it alone. Let faith, community, and the people who truly know you keep you grounded, so the life you're building is one you can actually live.Connect with Joe Way:Web: https://www.josiahway.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/josiahwayX (Formerly Twitter): https://www.x.com/josiahwayInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josiahway

La culpabilité est omniprésente dans la vie de nombreuses femmes. Cette petite voix intérieure, souvent dure et exigeante, vous souffle que vous n'en faites jamais assez : pas assez au travail, pas assez à la maison, pas assez pour les autres, pas assez pour vous-même. Dans cet épisode Best of du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, décrypte comment la culpabilité s'immisce dans vos choix, influence vos décisions et fragilise votre équilibre de vie, parfois sans même que vous en ayez conscience.La culpabilité peut être visible et assumée, mais elle est le plus souvent inconsciente. Elle devient alors un filtre à travers lequel vous pilotez votre quotidien : vous travaillez plus pour compenser, vous vous imposez des exigences irréalistes, vous renoncez à vos besoins personnels, tout en continuant à vous juger sévèrement. Résultat : même lorsque vous vivez un équilibre de vie que vous avez choisi, celui-ci est pollué par la rumination, la fatigue mentale et une impression persistante de ne jamais être au bon endroit.Dans cet épisode Best of, Jenny vous aide à comprendre pourquoi la culpabilité nuit profondément à votre équilibre, et en quoi elle n'est pas un problème de gestion du temps mais un état d'esprit. Vous découvrirez comment les injonctions sociales, le perfectionnisme et les normes culturelles alimentent ce sentiment, en particulier chez les femmes leaders, mères, entrepreneures ou dirigeantes.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les différentes formes de culpabilité présentes dans votre vie quotidienne.– Comprendre comment la culpabilité influence vos comportements et vos décisions.– Distinguer une culpabilité utile, qui peut devenir un signal de réajustement, d'une culpabilité stérile qui vous épuise.– Vous réaligner avec des choix conscients et assumés pour retrouver un équilibre de vie plus serein.– Remplacer le jugement intérieur par plus de compassion et de confiance en vous.Jenny partage également des exemples concrets de décisions personnelles prises pour retrouver un équilibre aligné, ainsi que des pistes de réflexion pour vous aider à vous délester d'une culpabilité devenue envahissante. Cet épisode est une invitation à reprendre votre pouvoir décisionnel, à faire confiance à vos choix et à accepter que l'équilibre de vie est mouvant, imparfait et profondément personnel.

RISKING IT ALL TO DOCK DRAGON WITH THE ISS Colleague Eric Berger. To fund its Mars ambitions, SpaceX needed NASA contracts to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) using the Dragon spacecraft. Unlike traditional capsules, Dragon integrated propulsion directly into the vehicle to support future reusability. Behind schedule, SpaceX combined two test missions (C2 and C3) into one high-stakes attempt. During the approach, the spacecraft's LIDAR navigation system faltered, forcing NASA flight director Holly Ridings to make a "brave call": she allowed SpaceX to rewrite software on the fly, defying standard mission rules to achieve a successful docking. NUMBER 3 MAY 1953

STELLAR ORIGINS AND COMPETING COSMOLOGIES Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. The focus shifts to Fred Hoyle, whose musical mother taught him to read via silent film subtitles. Halpern details Hoyle's journey to Cambridge, where his ambition to work in nuclear physics was interrupted by WWII radar research. Hoyle became fascinated by astronomy, eventually authoring a key 1946 paper on stellar nucleosynthesis, proposing that elements are forged inside stars. This set the stage for the "Great Big Bang Debate." While Gamow argued for element creation in a hot, primeval explosion, Hoyle developed the Steady State theory, filling in the gaps of an expanding universe. NUMBER 2 1961

I wanted to end this year with a simple thing. A thank you. A real one. The kind that comes from the ribs. Because you might not realise how often I think about you when I sit down to plan these episodes. I think about what you're navigating, what might help, what could spark a shift, or soften a blow, or give you a way through a knotty day. And I'm grateful that you're here, listening, building a creative life alongside me. It's been a challenging year for so many of us. We've ridden wave after wave in the social, political, economic, and arts climates. It's been loud out there. Overwhelming at times. And artists, more than most, have a knack for turning all of that noise into blame. Blame for what we didn't finish. For what we haven't achieved yet. Blame for the mythical future selves we think we should already be. My brain does that too. Ambition is a beautiful engine, but it forgets to look back at the road travelled. It forgets the courage it's taken to get here. It forgets what we've survived, created, learned, and quietly carried. So instead of listing everything I've done this year, I wanted to talk about something I rely on every single day. Gratitude. Not the glossy version. The real, grounded, neuroscience-backed kind. The kind that keeps you upright when the world tilts. -- Most artists are guessing their way through and staying stuck far longer than they need to.

Ceri covers everything. Right now, you can join or gift a full year for £99 - our only discount of the year, available until the first of January. Please join here - http://cerihand.com/membership/ KEY TAKEAWAYS We're so quick to measure ourselves against the version of us we think we should already be. The one who's achieved more, finished more, ticked more boxes. But we forget the person who got us through this year. The one who kept showing up when life was heavy or heartbreaking or just plain hard. A new year won't transform your life if you carry last year's avoidance into it. If you're an artist standing at the edge of something important, let this be the year you stop walking around the perimeter of your life and finally step in. BEST MOMENTS “I want to invite you to pause and notice what you're grateful for, not the obvious wins - the quieter things, the things you did for yourself, the things you did for others, the things you survived, the moments of courage no one else saw.” “Confidence doesn't arrive first. Courage does - And courage usually shows up exactly where you feel the wobble.” HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

What happens when you get everything you thought you wanted, and it still doesn't feel like enough? For Paul Ollinger, that question surfaced after leaving Facebook with financial freedom in his early forties. On paper, it was success. In reality, it sparked a deeper reckoning about identity, purpose, and what actually makes a life feel whole. In this conversation, Paul reflects on the disorienting space that can follow achievement, the moment he realised money had stopped being the motivator he thought it was, and the uncomfortable freedom of having no obvious next step. He explores the tension between ambition and contentment, why work plays such a powerful role in belonging, and how redefining happiness became essential rather than optional. This episode is an honest look at what really defines success … and a reminder that fulfilment doesn't begin when you reach the number, but when you ask better questions about what comes next.

His childhood Dickensian, mine bourgeois, yet each gave birth to a hunger for experience and a reasonably ambiguous approach to normal.Signposts in our conversation turned us toward learning we couldn't hold back our own tides, being told we were 'very average,' and the insight we each felt when we realized we couldn't remember the 'last time I had heard my footsteps.'Competition, grace, breathing, and the wonderful insight that the point of maximum fear is the point of minimum danger. Travel with us for a bit and put up your feet (then listen to your steps!)Never know what's going to show up when you click 'record'!

STARMER vs BLAIR? Who was the best PM? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #StarmerVsBlair #TonyBlair #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty #PrimeMinister STARMER vs BLAIR – Who Was the Better Prime Minister? | Today's live debate asks a blunt question: was Tony Blair a once-in-a-generation political talent – and is Keir Starmer his opposite? Tony Blair entered Downing Street in 1997 riding a wave of optimism, confidence, and cultural change. Cool Britannia, economic growth, falling unemployment, peace in Northern Ireland, and a sense that Britain was finally moving forward.  Blair had an extraordinary political antenna — he understood public mood, knew how to frame policy, and sold change with optimism rather than fear. Even controversial ideas, from public service reform to ID cards, were presented as part of a broader national project.  Keir Starmer, by contrast, has entered office as one of the most unpopular Prime Ministers in modern polling history, and his problems appear largely self-inflicted. From chaotic U-turns on the winter fuel allowance, to repeated failures to "stop the boats", Starmer's government has struggled not just with delivery — but with political judgement. Policies are announced, abandoned, and reframed, reinforcing claims that Starmer has a Midas touch in reverse: whatever he touches becomes politically toxic.  On immigration, Blair embraced freedom of movement as part of a confident, outward-looking Britain, even if the long-term consequences were underestimated. Starmer talks tough on the small boats crisis, yet crossings continue and legal obstacles mount, with human rights law frequently cited as both a constraint and a shield.  Critics argue he has managed to look authoritarian to liberals and ineffective to voters — the worst of both worlds.  This debate will confront uncomfortable questions: Did Blair's optimism and presentation mask serious long-term flaws — or is that exactly what leadership requires? Has Starmer's focus on "hard choices" simply translated into constant bad news and broken promises? Are ideas like ID cards, once rejected under Blair, now being revived out of desperation rather than vision? Is Starmer a serious reformer — or a technocrat who lacks the political instincts needed to lead?  Blair changed the national mood. Starmer reflects it. Ambition vs anxiety. Optimism vs apology. Political instinct vs political tin ear.

TULLIA AND THE BIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC Colleague Emma Southon. Contrasting Lucretia is Tullia, a figure of female ambition and wickedness. Tullia conspires with her brother-in-law to murder their spouses and her own father, the king, even driving over his body. Her crimes and the subsequent assault on Lucretia by her son, Sextus, justify the overthrow of the monarchy. Brutus uses Lucretia's body to incite the revolution that establishes the Roman Republic. NUMBER 11

CLODIA'S PRIVILEGE AND CICERO'S AMBITION Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin introduces Clodia, a privileged woman from an ancient Roman family on Palatine Hill. He contrasts her aristocratic, independent nature—manifested in her name spelling—with the rise of Cicero, a talented outsider. Boin frames their eventual conflict as a clash between established power and ambitious newcomers. NUMBER 13

Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan host a LIVE, unscripted 10x Talk episode on why ambition isn't a limited resource—it's a capability you can develop for life. You'll learn how alignment, free days, courage, and human connection (especially in an AI-driven world) keep Entrepreneurs energized, productive, and excited about what's next. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: Why ambition isn't something you "use up," and how treating it as a capability creates an endless flywheel of growth. The prime directives Dan and Babs use to protect alignment, independence, and momentum—so nothing (and no one) gets between them. The Lifetime Extender exercise that instantly expands your timeline, reignites motivation, and changes how you make decisions. The real reason Entrepreneurs lose ambition: trying to eliminate courage—and the hidden cost of losing excitement. How to use AI without losing the human edge: systematize the predictable, humanize the exceptional, and reclaim your time and attention.

Doubt isn't protecting you from failure, it's protecting you from your feelings.For every ambitious person, doubt is the silent killer of greatness. Joe breaks down what he's learned from working with Silicon Valley's top performers: doubt isn't an intellectual problem, it's a misunderstood emotional signal. It's a protective mechanism to stop you from feeling something uncomfortable, whether it's a fear of failure or even a fear of success.

In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Amanda Goetz sits down with psychotherapist and Toxic Productivity author Israa Nasir to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel constantly behind, overwhelmed, and unable to rest—even when they're doing “everything right.” Israa explains how productivity often becomes a coping mechanism for shame, fear, and feeling “not good enough,” and why no system, planner, or habit hack can fix that. Together, they talk about the early warning signs of toxic productivity (including resentment and the phrase “I just need to get through next week”), how unhealed wounds show up at work through perfectionism and feedback sensitivity, and why rest isn't a reward—it's a requirement.

Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian, bestselling author, and the guy who went viral telling Davos billionaires to pay their taxes. This conversation is a salve for the crisis of meaning percolating through modern life. We explore Rutger's pragmatic antidote—moral ambition—and discuss why a quarter of workers believe their jobs are socially useless, what the abolitionists teach us about coalition-building, and why factory farming may be the ethical abomination future historians judge us for most harshly. Rutger's conviction is rare and infectious. By the end of our conversation, I was so inspired that I committed $25K to his organization's new US Food System Reform Program, a cause area that is deeply important to me. Final Note: Through December 31st, every dollar to moralambition.org/food is matched.  I hope you'll consider joining me today in making a donation to this impactful organization. See the links in our newsletter, on our website, and in our Substack. Let's lean into our own moral ambition and do something truly meaningful, together.
