We've been long inspired and touched by Robert Redford's career in film and politics. He was a screen idol who challenged America's status quo. From acting in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Three Days of the Condor and All The President's Men to directing Ordinary People and the Milagro Beanfield War, he took on roles, and later directing projects, that questioned authority and brought a cultural weight to America's cinematic catalog. His political work included fighting for and supporting environmental and Indigenous rights causes. He was part of documentary projects about Leonard Peltier, John Trudell and climate activist Tim DeChristopher. In his later years, he supported the campaign against the Keystone XL Pipeline and called Trump a "monarchy in disguise." In our latest, we pay tribute to iconic actor, director, environmentalist and activist Robert Redford. Rest in Peace, Sundance!--------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody

Life doesn't always go the way we plan. Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop fighting reality and find a way forward. In this episode of Simply Said, Polly shares a simple four-step approach—Accept, Appreciate, Adapt, and Act—to help you move through challenges with more clarity and less stress. Acceptance isn't about approval, it's about freeing yourself from resistance. Appreciation helps you notice what's still working, even in hard times. Adaptation invites you to pivot when life changes course. And action grounds it all with small, doable steps that fit the moment you're actually in. This is a framework you can use in everyday situations—from unexpected setbacks to major life changes. When you stop fighting what is and start responding to it, you'll find more energy, peace, and purpose in the process.

Send us a textFor so many authors, writing a book feels like the pinnacle of their work—the culmination of years of learning, creativity, and leadership. But when the final chapter is written, there's often a gap. Those powerful ideas don't always leap from the page into programs, products, or lasting impact.On this episode of Authors Who Lead, I sit down with Charlotte Crowther—founder of Signature Framework—to explore how authors can codify their ideas into clear, visual frameworks that fuel growth, clarity, and influence. If you're writing a book or already have one out in the world, this conversation helps you think bigger about what comes next.Timestamp:00:00 Visual methodology coaching success03:14 Challenges in translating books to business09:20 Overthinking hinders authentic creativity12:18 Creative incubation strategy15:41 Courageous leadership through storytelling18:40 Magic of visual thinking20:09 Visual aids enhance communication26:25 From idea to action: Boss Mums29:47 Clarifying purpose for action-driven results32:11 Visual branding from written content35:26 Appreciation for creative guidanceFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In this week's Live in the Tribe, I talk about the power of living in a state of appreciation, even when life throws curveballs like flooded boats, stolen wallets, or rude strangers. I share how shifting from reacting to responding can make you “unf*ckwithable” no matter what comes your way. Then I dive into your training questions, covering myo-reps, cluster sets, peptides, rep speeds, deloads, and how to handle sore joints without losing progress. This one's a mix of mindset and muscle, and I think you'll walk away with tools you can use immediately inside and outside the gym.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call

Shirin Oreizy, engineer and coach, found herself hindered by a pattern of perfectionism as she embarked on a career transition. She'd known about the Hoffman Process for five years, but she didn't think she needed it. When she saw the effects of this pattern of perfectionism and how it was blocking her from creating her dream and vision, she knew it was time. Concurrently, over these five years, Shirin and her husband had been on a long, painful IVF journey. At the time of her Process, Shirin was beginning to recover from the trauma of this journey and the grief of loss from four miscarriages. She was in the process of accepting that she and her husband would never be parents. Namaki During her Process, everyone knew Shirin as Namaki, which was her childhood name. Since no one in her Process knew her given name, her classmates and teachers called her Namaki. As her week at the Process unfolded, Shirin found that rekindling her relationship with Namaki was the path back to her true self and self-love. As she tells Drew: "I think what I really love about Hoffman specifically was that there's this imprint. There's this somatic, felt, body-sense imprint of love in me. That it will never go away; and you know, the patterns come ... and I forget myself, but I have access to come back to this deep imprint of self-love." At the Process, Shirin worked with Namaki's moments when she felt deeply unsafe. Through this, Shirin was able to experience a "falling back into trust with my place in the world." She realized there's a larger arc to her life story than she had been holding onto through control. Content Warning: Before you begin, please know that this conversation contains descriptions of "reproductive trauma, loss, and grief." Please use your discretion. More about Shirin Oreizy: My journey began as an engineer at Nvidia, where I learned the art of solving complex problems. Later, I founded and led a behavior design agency, partnering with both scrappy startups and Fortune 500 giants for two decades. Along the way, I became fascinated by how people truly transform. How real change happens within both teams and individuals. Today, I focus on coaching and speaking because I know how pivotal life's transitions can be. My work draws on a lifelong passion for understanding what drives us as humans, shaped by years of hands-on experience with leaders, teams, and individuals. I weave together insights from a range of disciplines: Personality Profiling: Enneagram & Big Five (self-understanding and connection) Hoffman Process (healing old patterns, renewing a sense of “enough”) Neuroscience (building resilience and hope) Positive Psychology (cultivating optimism and curiosity) Behavioral Science (creating sustainable habits and agency) Conscious Leadership Group (leading with awareness and presence) Outside of coaching, I've shared my work on human behavior with audiences at TechCrunch Disrupt (Audience Choice Award), as a guest lecturer at NYU, Columbia, and Stanford, and as a keynote speaker at major industry events. I live in San Francisco with my husband—also a Hoffman grad—and our dog, Pickles, a Hoffman grad in spirit (he's mastered the art of welcoming love, especially when treats are involved). We love exploring stunning landscapes around the world that challenge us physically and mentally. Since Hoffman, we've launched a passion project, Life of Adventure and Change, where we're mapping out a decade of travel adventures to share with friends. Our goal is to build a community of conscious travelers who inspire each other to embrace new adventures and experiences. Learn more about Shirin at her personal website.

What happens when you realize you matter? In this episode, Kevin talks with Zach Mercurio about the often-overlooked human need to feel important and how leaders at all levels can foster this through everyday interactions. Zach explains how his early research with custodial staff showed that small, intentional moments—like being seen, acknowledged, and validated—are the building blocks of meaning at work. These "moments of mattering," he says, aren't about big gestures but about real human connection. Kevin and Zach also explore the link between mattering and trust, the challenge of staying focused in today's distracted world, and how leaders can create cultures where everyone feels valued and essential.

Fifteen years ago, I was in crisis.  My marriage was ending, my health was unraveling, and my corporate career felt like a soul-deadening trap.  From the outside though, my life looked fine—but inside, I knew something was deeply missing.

But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain, that's when I knew that I could not refuse And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes   I was watching while you're dancing away Our love got fractured in the echo and sway How come everybody wants to be your friend? You know that it still hurts me just to say it   Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that) Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad) She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad) but it's so hard to refuse How can you say that I'm too old, when the angels have stolen my red shoes.   Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die" She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance. Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence. Oh, I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

This week's co-host doesn't say a word, but his presence says everything. James sits down with his son Lucas, a non-verbal teenager with autism, for a special episode. With the help of Pirate Booty, duck noises, and an AAC device, Lucas shows listeners what communication looks like when it's completely authentic. Whether it's asking for water or no-selling a dad joke, nothing Lucas does is performative and that honesty has become one of James's greatest parenting lessons.You'll hear about real moments: a silly game that's only funny when Lucas says it is, how years of practice lead to a single successful request on a talker, and the deep frustration of strangers assuming they know your child better than you do. This is more than a podcast episode, it's a window into trust, growth, and fatherhood that doesn't need subtitles.See The Show Here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jcTwR72r_k4Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@hiblogimdadIt's Here!

Send us a textMeet Michelle "Mace" Curran, former Air Force Thunderbird pilot, keynote speaker, and author. The conversation kicks off with Michelle sharing her excitement about the upcoming release of her first nonfiction book, The Flip Side: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear into Your Superpower. She explains how the book, infused with lessons and stories from her 13 years flying fighter jets, aims to help readers transform fear into a tool for growth and resilience.-Key takeaways include: Flip Your Fear: Michelle's new book, The Flip Side, is rooted in the idea of reframing fear. Instead of trying to “turn off” fear, she encourages leaning into it—because growth often happens at the edges of our comfort zones. Small, bold choices add up over time!Normalize Doubt: Even at the top, imposter syndrome is real. Michelle emphasizes separating our inner critic from our true abilities, reframing negative self-talk, and recognizing that even the highest performers have doubts—they just don't let it keep them from showing up.Relatability Drives Impact: Whether inspiring kids through her children's books or adults with leadership lessons, Michelle's authenticity and willingness to share both the triumphs and the fears makes her story relatable—and that's where true impact lies.-Time Codes:00:00 "Fighter Pilot's Fear Flipping Lessons"04:20 Inspiring Young Aviators: A Journey08:21 Female Mentorship in Military Aviation12:36 Silencing the Inner Critic16:02 Pilot Stress and Arousal Levels19:43 Nostalgia Amid Digital Overload21:39 Weekly Debrief for Improvement26:26 First Flight Experience28:08 "Daytona Beach Flyover Query"31:54 F16 Training Anticipation33:48 From Intimidation to Friendship39:48 "Editing a Manuscript Journey"42:04 Humbling Moments Amid Accomplishments45:06 "Start Before You're Ready"50:08 "Persistence Pays: Bold Follow-Up"51:00 "Appreciation and Recording End"Connect with Passing The Torch: Facebook and IG: @torchmartin More Amazing Stories: Episode 41: Lee Ellis – Freeing You From Bond That Make You InsecureEpisode 49: Ryan Hawk – Crafting a Legacy of LeadershipEpisode 52: Riley Tejcek – Mission of Empowerment and Endurance
