Send a textSteep grades, sharper ideas, and zero fluff—this conversation with Jackson Cole tracks a season where grit meets growth. We start with the highlights: a win at Cirque Series Alyeska, more Cirque podiums at Killington and Grand Targhee, a strong Rut 28K, and a proud top‑26 at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships short trail. Then we zoom out to what shaped it all: a two‑week, 1,100‑mile bikepacking trip across New Zealand's South Island that built deep aerobic strength and reconnected Jackson with the Southern Alps, from Aspiring and Aoraki's glaciated faces to the ridge‑rich basins of Arthur's Pass and Nelson Lakes.Jackson breaks down why low‑altitude alpine can still feel massive, how technical courses reward decision‑making as much as VO2, and what The GOAT race showed him about grit over turnover. We revisit his hard push on T‑Winot in the Tetons—route choice, switchback ethics, and the line between fourth‑class flow and fifth‑class traps—and unpack the honest realities of chasing the Grand Teton FKT: weeks of scouting, precise acclimatization, and respect for the gold standards already set.Worlds in Canfranc gets the spotlight it deserves: a steep, technical course that elevated skyrunners who are lesser known stateside, a New Zealand team that punched above its weight with minimal federation support, and a personal moment of pride that lingers longer than a ranking. From there, we look at the sport's fault lines and opportunities—brand money flowing into short trail, the need to keep true skyrunning alive in North America, the promise of Beast of Big Creek, and why governance, fair access, and year‑round anti‑doping have to catch up with the cash.We wrap with a living 2026 sketch: Mount Marathon in Seward, a possible return to Minotaur, Beast of Big Creek, and a decision tree that includes Whistler, Speedgoat, and a Skyrunner World Series run depending on support. If you care about real mountains, real talk, and a future where athletes can race hard without selling the soul of the sport, this one hits home.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves steep trails, and leave a quick review so more mountain‑minded listeners can find us.Follow Jackson on IG - @jayrcoleeFollow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod

Let's be real—if you've been consuming self-storage content for months (or years), learning the strategies, joining communities, and still haven't taken meaningful action, this episode is meant to hit a nerve—in the best way possible.   In the Season 2 premiere of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo kicks off something bold: a live, unscripted coaching journey.

If you've ever wondered whether this is truly possible for someone like you, this season is your front-row seat.      You'll Learn How To: Identify the real reasons you've stayed stuck—even when you "know what to do" Break through comfort, fear, and comparison that quietly kill momentum Understand what imperfect action looks like in real time Build belief without needing prior real estate experience or capital Learn alongside someone else's journey instead of guessing alone     What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Introduction [2:55] Why education without action creates a false sense of progress [5:22] The comfort trap—and how W-2 stability can quietly delay your goals [7:48] The Season 2 announcement: a live coaching experiment begins [12:34] The opportunity cost of not pursuing your goals [18:22] How comparison sabotages confidence and decision-making [24:30] The power of a strong "why" when quitting feels justified [33:45] What this season will document: mindset, strategy, mistakes, and wins [37:31] Why commitment matters more than certainty     Who This Episode Is For: Listeners who've been learning but haven't taken consistent action Aspiring self-storage investors stuck in fear, doubt, or comparison Parents or professionals pursuing freedom with limited time or experience Anyone who wants proof that progress doesn't require perfection     Why You Should Listen: Six months from now, Dan will either own his first storage facility—or he'll know exactly why he didn't. This episode launches a season that removes the smoke and mirrors from self-storage investing and replaces them with real conversations, real coaching, and real accountability.   Whether the journey is smooth or messy, you'll learn everything alongside him. This is the most raw, honest, and unscripted season of Storage Wins yet—and it may be the push you've been waiting for.     Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/     Have conversations with at least three active storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

In part one of #PostsToProfits, Jill breaks down the fundamentals of building an online coaching business that generates actual revenue, starting with the critical distinction between being good at coaching versus being good at business. She introduces the "5 C's" framework for content creation and the three types of paid offerings you can start to build out. Aspiring coaches are often stuck, not because they lack expertise, but because they're using vague "transformation language" that doesn't resonate with potential clients. Instead of saying "I help people have a better relationship with food" or "I help moms feel confident," coaches need to use the "camera scenario" technique—describing tangible, specific pain points and outcomes their ideal clients can visualize. You'll leave this training with actionable steps to take to help you begin your online coaching business today.   Join Jill for the rest of #PostsToProfits live! https://jillfitfree.com/posts-to-profits-2026/   Download the slides for #PostsToProfits here! https://www.jillfitprograms.com/the-posttoprofits-recordings-2026   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 4 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, we'll be looking at a new piece of equipment that allows players to practice at home or anywhere, really, when court time is not an option.John Davey is a self-taught tennis player and former standout #1 singles player on his NCAA Division 1 team at the University of Vermont. Aspiring to play professionally after college but side-lined by injury, he refocused into a successful career on Wall Street before turning to entrepreneurship.“After selling my last business, I was coaching for fun at a local club but I saw so many people getting discouraged by the steep and expensive learning curve. I could relate since my parents couldn't afford tennis lessons so I had to teach myself by hitting against a wall. I started thinking about ways to make learning and practicing easier, less expensive and more fun, and Fast Track Tennis was born.”Now partnering with former WTA Pro and Olympic Tennis Gold Medalist Zina Garrison to develop the 1-2-3 Method of teaching tennis to young players, John is bringing Fast Track to schools, parks, and even college teams.

For decades, investing in the world's biggest companies was a "members-only" club for India's wealthy. Historically, complex tax laws and legal hurdles meant that only the top 1% could effectively protect their wealth from the steady 40% depreciation of the Rupee every decade. In this episode, Saurabh Mukherjea explains how four blockbuster reforms have finally leveled the playing field, making global compounding accessible to every intelligent investor.

The Aspiring Leaders program has a new look and a new structure - Sonja Martinez delivers all the details.

When an aspiring novelist moves into an apartment above a famous author, the younger writer thinks it's a sign that literary stardom is right around the corner.He's partly right. But his luck is about to turn in ways he can't expect.Matthew Pearl, himself an award-winning author, writes what he knows in his new novel, “The Award” — which is why the book swerves into some wildly dark places. He returns to Big Books and Bold Ideas this week to talk with Kerri Miller about the absurdity of the publishing industry today (without naming names, of course) and the inspiration behind “The Award.”

Auditioning for professional ballet companies is very different than auditioning for summer intensives, and that reality can catch even the most prepared dancers off guard.In this solo episode of The Brainy Ballerina Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on the audition process and sharing the lessons I learned the hard way while navigating company auditions across the country. All the things I wish someone had told me before stepping into the room.Key Points in this Episode: Why professional company auditions operate differently from summer intensive auditions When the audition actually begins The unexpected mindset shifts dancers need when auditioning for contracts What directors may be looking for behind the scenes (and why you often won't know it) How to mentally survive the uncertainty, rejection, and waiting that come with audition seasonThis episode is a must-listen for: Aspiring professional ballet dancers Pre-professional dancers transitioning into company auditions Dancers feeling discouraged, confused, or stuck during audition season Anyone who wants a more realistic, grounded understanding of how the ballet industry works

A man accused of killing twenty-year-old Cincinnati musician Tre’Shawn “Ace” Smith in a daylight shooting linked to a rap video feud has been extradited back to Ohio after his arrest in Georgia, with his mother condemning the five-hundred-thousand-dollar bond as reopening her grief rather than delivering justice. A man sleeping on his couch in upstate New York was injured after a car missed a dangerous intersection and crashed into his home, leaving him pinned beneath the vehicle.

In this episode of the Shark Farmer Podcast, host Rob Sharkey speaks with Kevin Thompson, the Director of the Middle Tennessee Ag Research and Education Center (M-TREC) at the University of Tennessee. They discuss Kevin's background in agriculture, the impact of black vultures on cattle production, and the importance of diversification in farming. Kevin shares insights on precision livestock technologies, the role of horses in cattle management, and the significance of teaching stockmanship. The conversation emphasizes the need for advocates in agriculture to educate the public and promote sustainable practices. Kevin Thompson is the Director of M-TREC at the University of Tennessee. M-TREC focuses on research and education in agriculture, particularly beef and poultry. Kevin's background includes managing a large family farm and academic achievements in animal science. Black vultures have become predatory, impacting calf survival and producer safety. Research is being conducted to understand and mitigate the impact of black vultures on cattle. Diversification in agriculture can improve economic stability for producers. Precision livestock technologies are being implemented to gather real-time data on cattle. Teaching stockmanship is essential for low-stress cattle handling. Horses are preferred for cattle management due to their low-stress impact on livestock. Aspiring farmers should seek entry-level opportunities and be willing to learn from mistakes.

If you've been circling the self-storage world, consuming content, running numbers, and still haven't pulled the trigger—this episode is for you. In today's message, I break down the exact four-step framework that's helping new investors get off the sidelines and finally close their first storage facility in six months or less.

What happens when you refuse to let a good restaurant quietly die? In this episode of The Restaurant Coach Podcast, Donald Burns sits down with Madison Bree, a first-time restaurant owner who took a massive leap of faith by buying an existing restaurant in Michigan that still had a name… but was slowly bleeding out. The restaurant was Kathy's 126.The reputation was there.The energy, systems, and vision were not. Instead of trying to “save” a dying brand, Bree made the bold decision to rebuild it from the inside out. She rebranded the concept into Madison's on Main, reopened with clarity, structure, and standards—and the results speak for themselves. The restaurant has taken off since reopening, proving that survival is optional when leadership finally steps up. In this conversation, Bree shares: What it's really like buying an existing restaurant with baggage Why rebranding was non-negotiable for growth The mindset shifts required to move from operator to owner How working with a coach fast-tracked her progress and eliminated years of painful trial and error How the TRC Method helped her build structure, confidence, and momentum instead of chaos This episode is a must-listen for: Aspiring restaurant owners thinking about buying an existing concept Owners stuck “keeping it alive” instead of building something that thrives Anyone who wants proof that coaching isn't a cost—it's a shortcut Bree's story is a reminder that thriving isn't about luck.It's about standards, leadership, and having the right guide in your corner. If you're tired of surviving and ready to build a restaurant that actually works for you—this episode will hit home.

What if you could buy millions in self-storage without using any of your own money? In this episode, I break down how I acquired over $5.1 million worth of storage facilities in just 17 months—with zero capital out of pocket. The secret? Understanding how to structure creative financing and building strong, trust-based relationships. I walk you through three real-world case studies that showcase how I used a mix of SBA loans, seller financing, private lenders, and equity partners to close big deals. I also share exactly how I positioned these opportunities, structured the funding, and even got paid $250K to close on one of the facilities. This episode isn't theory—it's a blueprint for how you can get into storage without waiting on savings or perfect conditions. You'll Learn How To: Buy storage facilities using SBA loans, seller financing, and private lenders Structure deals where everyone wins—including you, the seller, and your partners Find hidden equity and fund your deals without your own cash Build and nurture relationships that unlock funding when deals arise Overcome the "I need money to invest" mindset that keeps most people stuck What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] The biggest myth in storage investing—and why it's holding you back [2:55] Case Study #1: How I used SBA and an equity partner to buy a $1.59M facility [5:22] The step-by-step on securing 85% financing and raising the rest [7:43] Case Study #2: Seller financing 90% on a $2.1M deal—and how we filled the gap [10:01] Structuring private money for renovations and deal entry [12:19] Why seller financing works so well in storage—and how to pitch it [14:42] Case Study #3: How I got paid $250K to buy a storage facility with built-in equity [17:04] Creative funding options that most investors overlook [18:30] The mindset shift that unlocks capital—and how to build lender-ready relationships Who This Episode Is For: Beginners who think storage is out of reach due to lack of capital Aspiring investors who want real, step-by-step strategies that work Experienced real estate pros exploring how to scale with storage Action takers ready to find and fund their first facility Why You Should Listen: Money is not your problem—lack of belief and strategy is.

Did you know aspiring entrepreneurs secretly LOVE to do nothing?On the one hand, Aspiring Entrepreneurs want lifestyle freedom and to be able to do what we want. We want to work a short productive, time so we don't have to work anymore.But on the other hand if you've ever felt yourself getting oddly comfortable delaying your dreams, then you're already familiar with the seduction of inaction. And it's a seduction we really don't want to cultivate.

From utero and into infancy, babies recognize their mother as being essentially one with them. So, being placed in their father's arms is in fact their first introduction to the "other," the outside world. The father will continue this crucial role as mediator and representative to the outside world throughout a boy's childhood. With decades of experience and dozens of personal anecdotes, Upper School Head Michael Moynihan addressed the 2025 Fatherhood Conference to share how a father's parenting outlook now will shape his son's vocational and professional readiness to enter the outside world as an adult.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mark Mascarenhas. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate listeners—especially entrepreneurs, small business owners, and aspiring millionaires—on financial planning, wealth management, and risk mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the importance of discipline, clarity, and professional guidance in achieving financial success and sustaining wealth across generations. Key Takeaways Financial Planning is Foundational A written financial plan is the first step before any investment portfolio is built. Success is defined individually—financial, health, or lifestyle goals. Diversification & Risk Management Digital assets like Bitcoin should only make up 2–3% of a portfolio for high-net-worth clients with high risk tolerance. Fear and greed drive markets; advisors help clients maintain discipline. Long-Term Care & Insurance Planning for long-term care is essential, typically starting in your 50s. Term life insurance early locks in health; whole life policies provide stability and living benefits. Tax Strategy Use tax-loss harvesting, asset location strategies, and estate planning to minimize tax burdens. Estate planning focuses on transferring wealth tax-efficiently to future generations. Millionaire Mindset Millionaires are clear, disciplined, optimistic, and collaborative. 74% of millionaires work with financial advisors vs. 34% of the general population. Power of Compounding Compounding interest is the cornerstone of wealth accumulation—requires patience and discipline. Avoid lifestyle creep and impulsive spending, especially for younger millionaires and influencers. Fiduciary Responsibility Advisors act in the client’s best interest; success is mutual. Trust and transparency are critical in client-advisor relationships. Notable Quotes On Risk & Bitcoin:“You could potentially double your money, but you could also potentially lose 70% of it.” On Financial Planning:“Every dollar needs a job description.” On Millionaire Mindset:“Successful people view us as CFOs—they’re the CEOs.” On Compounding:“If you could win 72% of the time, would you play that game? Yes. That’s the stock market.” On Retirement Success:“Living the same or better lifestyle in retirement than you do today while working.” On Fiduciary Role:“We make more money when the client makes more money.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
