In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I had the privilege of welcoming two inspiring guests, Mary Beth Sandin and Kristina Fusella. It was my first time hosting two people at once, and the conversation felt like sitting down with old friends who have walked similar roads of challenge, growth, and self-discovery. Together, we explored what it means to stay grounded when life feels uncertain and why asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather an act of genuine strength. Kristina shared how her Taekwondo practice has shaped her understanding of balance, both physically and emotionally. Her reflections reminded me that being unshakeable is not about staying perfectly still, but about finding stability while in motion. Mary Beth brought a different kind of insight, showing how self-awareness, preparation, and allyship can create calm even in moments of chaos. Hearing both of them speak so openly about fear, confidence, and connection felt deeply human. What stayed with me most was our discussion about grace, vulnerability, and the quiet courage it takes to ask for support. We discussed the unrealistic expectations women often place on themselves, the importance of having allies, and how small moments of encouragement can have a profound impact. If you are someone trying to hold it all together, this conversation will remind you that strength often begins the moment you decide to reach out.

After tearing his MCL, meniscus, and fracturing his femur — and still walking on it — Meech realized something deeper: sometimes strength isn't a choice, it's survival.In this episode of Talkin' Crazy, Meech breaks down the double-edged sword of being “too strong.” From pushing through pain to learning when to ask for help, this one's for anyone who's been fighting silently, holding it down, and still showing up.

This may be the most heartfelt episode I've ever recorded. In this deeply human conversation, Maxwell Ivey: The Blind Blogger, and I talk about what it means to keep moving when life doesn't hand you easy options. Maxwell lost his sight as a child, taught himself to code, built a business, and learned to ask for help without shame.   We talk about the quiet power of asking, the courage to act before conditions are perfect, and a rare take on gratitude-not as politeness, but as the willingness to use what's been given.   Somewhere along the way, we find ourselves reflecting on The Four Agreements and how "don't take things personally" and "don't make assumptions" become essential mindsets in the world of disability and education.   It's unpolished, honest, and full of wisdom that only comes from lived experience. Stay to the end to hear Maxwell sing his original song, Don't Wait on Someday.   You can find Maxwell at theblindblogger.net.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into one of the most important — yet often overlooked — topics in personal growth: asking for help.For generations, many in the our community have been taught to “be strong,” “push through,” and “handle it alone.” But what happens when that mindset becomes a barrier to healing, mental health, and true success?Join us as we unpack the stigma around vulnerability and seeking support — from friends, mentors, or professionals. We look into building a village and having the right people around you. The right time to ask for help and how not give up on yourself or the people around you.We dive into the stigmas that depict asking for help as weak and why it actually shows strength to ask for help.

Send us a textWhat if your job title isn't who you are, and the real proof of character shows up in the choices you make when no one is watching? We dig into that question through the lens of recovery, responsibility, and the everyday habits that either build integrity or break it down. From asking for help to making amends, we unpack how sober clarity turns micro resentments into momentum and why quiet, ten-minute pauses can reveal more about your life than an hour of doom scrolling.I share the uncomfortable truths I had to face: fear of rejection, low self-worth, and the cost of not asking for what I need at work and at home. We talk through a simple silence practice to cut through noise, the opportunity cost of social media, and the subtle ways outrage hijacks attention. Then we connect those lessons to sales, where pressure and shortcuts often masquerade as skill. You'll hear a practical script for presenting honest options without manipulation, how to ask better questions when a customer says no, and why feedback—however painful—becomes your fastest lever for growth.This conversation is a call to choose the long game: integrity over shortcuts, responsibility over blame, and curiosity over fear. If you've ever felt weighed down by tiny resentments, stuck in distraction loops, or tempted to sell something you wouldn't sell to your own mom, this is your reset. Listen, reflect, then pick one honest action today—one amends, one ask, one small promise kept in the dark.

Point 1: Help doesn't diminish you—it strengthens you.When you ask for help, you're not saying “I can't.” You're saying, “I don't have to do this alone.” That's courage, not failure.Point 2: Help creates a connection.We live in a world that glorifies independence, but the reality is that humans are inherently social and wired for community. When you ask for help, you open the door to trust, friendship, and even mentorship.Point 3: Help moves you forward faster.Why waste years stumbling through something that someone else could teach you in a day? Humility accelerates growth.Here's the challenge for you today:• Think of one area of your life where you're stuck.• Ask yourself: Who could I reach out to for guidance, advice, or support?• Then take the brave step—make the call, send the message, or have the conversation.

This week, we explore why asking for help feels like admitting defeat and how this mindset keeps us isolated when we could be achieving breakthrough results through collaboration.The Big Question: Why do I treat asking for help like admitting defeat?The 4 Key Blocks:Fear of being a burden: Remember that people generally want to help, and healthy relationships require reciprocity—let others contribute to you too.Not wanting unwanted advice: Set clear context about what you need—processing time, brainstorming, validation, or specific solutions.Feeling like failure: Challenge the core belief that your value comes from figuring everything out independently. Ask yourself: Do I want to be right or successful?Concern about others' perceptions: Reframe asking for help as co-creation and inclusion. The strongest leaders collaborate and show vulnerability.Remember: Asking for help isn't defeat—it's how you create something bigger than you could build alone. You deserve support, and collaboration leads to breakthrough results.Key Takeaway: The sum is greater than the parts. Stop treating independence as strength and start treating co-creation as the path to your best work.Resources for this Episode: Uncompete by Ruchika T. MahotraHave a question for the show?

In April 2018, Steph became the first British woman to circumnavigate the world and ride a motorbike (affectionately called Rhonda the Honda) on all 7 continents — yes, including Antarctica!This journey covered 120,000km / 74,000 miles, across 53 countries, and took 4 years to complete.In this conversation, Steph and I discuss:* why you sometimes feel lost and unfulfilled despite achieving the goal you've set for yourself,* how she planned the logistics of her 4 year trip,* why people enjoy helping — and why you should ask for it,* her experience with the Imposter Complex the day she started her ride in London,* how she has learnt to manage her thoughts when others share their fears and doubts with her (including when someone said to her: “you've bitten off more than you can chew”). Notice the language she uses: I choose to believe I'll be ok,* her experience riding through Iran when it was illegal for women to do so,* the experience of getting Rhonda the Honda to Antarctica on a 60' foot sailing yacht, and then home via a Russian icebreaker,* the times she thought about quitting and her fears of not finishing the ride, especially when injuries left her in considerable pain,* the difference between quitting because you've given up or because it's a conscious decision, and* the expedition she is leading in 2019 - taking the first group of all-women bikers to Everest Base Camp in Tibet

Are you leaning too much on advice and not enough on action?In this episode, I break down the five essential roles every business owner needs to supercharge their growth—and why relying on friends or familiar faces may be holding you back.Discover how a coach, mentor, advisor, trainer, and consultant each play a pivotal part in your entrepreneurial journey, and get practical strategies to start filling these gaps today.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Know the Difference: Understanding the unique value each role brings—advisor, trainer, consultant, mentor, and coach—can prevent you from missing out on critical support or wasting time with the wrong type of help. Most entrepreneurs over-rely on advice and under-invest in hands-on coaching and actionable training.2. Fill Every Role—Strategically: You might not have all five roles filled at once, but identifying and approaching the right people (outside your close circle) for these positions is key to real progress. Your growth is limited when you expect friends or insiders to give the objective feedback and expertise you need.3. Take Action, Not Just Advice: Too often, we get stuck collecting ideas but never move forward. Chart out your support team, ask the right questions, and take steps to bring in advisors, trainers, consultants, mentors, and coaches who challenge you, nurture your growth, and help you execute, not just plan.

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could talk to my younger self, what vital lessons would I share about fatherhood?" "Is my 'tough guy' exterior actually holding me back from truly connecting with my kids?" "What does it really mean to lead my family with emotional authenticity?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an unfiltered, insight-packed conversation that hits at the very heart of modern fatherhood: modeling emotional openness, prioritizing genuine connection, and reimagining what leadership truly looks like at home. Today, Larry Hagner sits across the table from his son Ethan Hagner. Their deeply touching exchange is a powerful reminder of how universal the struggles of growing up and parenting really are, driven by Larry's determination to provide a steady, affectionate home—a stark contrast to his own chaotic upbringing. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this unfiltered, insight-packed conversation, we dig into: Asking for Help as a Strength: Why vulnerability and reaching out for support are ultimate acts of courage, challenging the traditional "tough guy" parenting narrative. Empathy Over Solutions: Ethan shares his journey learning to be a better listener, especially in his relationship with his girlfriend, recognizing that people often want understanding and empathy more than immediate fixes. The Power of Authentic Connection: Larry and Ethan emphasize that genuine presence and open communication are direct drivers of influence in the home, making attempts to motivate or discipline kids far more effective. The "Marriage-First" Household: A candid discussion on the profound difference a strong, loving parental relationship makes in children's development and present-day family life, even if it means "grossing the kids out with love." Don't Hold It In: The crucial message to express pain, stress, and affection openly, allowing your family to see the full, real you for true psychological safety and peace. This episode offers profound wisdom and practical takeaways for any dad looking to build a legacy of emotional health and connection.

Today's Oddcast - I Hate Asking For Help (Airdate 6/23/2025)   Why is it that so many of us feel gross asking for and accepting help?

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could go back, what advice would I give my younger self?" "How do I teach my kids to face their fears when I still struggle with my own?" "Is true strength about bottling things up, or asking for help?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an honest, funny, and deeply touching exchange that reminds us how universal the struggles of growing up—and parenting—really are. Today, Larry Hagner and his son Ethan Hagner tackle the ultimate hypothetical: what would you say to your younger self? Their conversation unpacks not just advice for growing up, but crucial lessons for fathers navigating the complexities of guiding their children. Ethan Hagner candidly admits to being an anxious and introverted kid. Looking back, he shares how powerfully stepping out of his comfort zone—whether wrestling with social fears, struggling through disliked activities, or simply talking to a childhood crush—shaped the confident young man he's become. Larry, reflecting as a proud dad, shares the immense power of letting your kids see you embrace challenges too, and the vital importance of showing your family how to ask for help when things get tough. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this deeply touching conversation, we dig into: The Growth Zone: Ethan's journey from anxiety and introversion to confidence, forged by repeatedly stepping out of his comfort zone. Parental Modeling of Discomfort: Why it's crucial for dads not just to tell their kids to be brave, but to show them how they embrace their own challenges. Vulnerability as Strength: The transformative message that emotional openness isn't weakness, but a critical part of living and growing into your full potential. The Power of Asking for Help: Why leaning on your support network and giving yourself (and others) permission to be human is essential for navigating tough times. Navigating Universal Struggles: Honest reflections on the challenges of growing up and the ongoing journey of self-discovery, from both a father's and son's perspective. Whether you're a parent guiding your children, or someone still figuring it all out, this episode delivers real talk, practical takeaways, and a reminder that every chapter—no matter how daunting—is worth diving into, together. Here's what research and observation highlight about discomfort and growth: Studies show that individuals who regularly engage in activities outside their comfort zone report a 20% increase in self-efficacy and resilience. Children whose parents model vulnerability and the act of asking for help demonstrate 30% higher emotional intelligence and stronger coping skills. A strong social support network is correlated with a 45% reduction in perceived stress levels during challenging life transitions. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind
