Podcasts about barriers

There are real barriers that come with living with cerebral palsy and with having a visible disability.I have experienced frustration, anger, bitterness, limitations, and situations where cerebral palsy absolutely affected what I was able to do. I also understand why conversations about ableism, accommodations, access, and fairness can carry so much emotion.At the same time, I do not want my life to become an ongoing us versus them conversation.In this episode, I unpack why I believe both things can be true. We can acknowledge the realities of disability while also asking ourselves what we are going to do with the life and circumstances we have.My experience with cerebral palsy is my own. Someone else with the same diagnosis may have completely different challenges, abilities, support needs, and opportunities. That nuance matters.But I still believe there is value in asking ourselves a simple question.What am I going to do next?There are times when we need accommodations. There are times when we need help. And if we are trying to accomplish meaningful things in any area of life, disability or not, we are probably going to need other people along the way.That is different from allowing frustration, resentment, or comparison to become the place where we stay.I also talk about why I am not trying to convince people who have already decided they completely disagree with how I see things. The people I care most about reaching are the ones somewhere in the middle. The people who know they want something different but have not completely decided what direction they are going to take.You can acknowledge what has happened to you. You can be angry about it. You can recognize the barriers in front of you.And you can still decide what you want to do from here.

Matt Fox joined me to chat about his interest in the marathon after coming from a National class middle distance background, his trajectory with content creation, the Chinese running shoe market, and his power weight ratio journey.  Matt Fox: sweatelite.co | IG: @mattinglisfox Episode Sponsors: LMNT: drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off) Kila Insoles: kilarun.com Code: BITTER ($50 Off) Episode summary: Zach Bitter interviews Matt Fox (Sweat Elite) Matt's background: Former Australian middle-distance runner who twice finished 5th at Olympic/World trials (consistent 1:48 800m). Felt he "failed" after never making a national team, which later fueled his curiosity about how better runners train. How Sweat Elite started: After a failed Strava-like app, Matt launched a site interviewing pros. He later began filming elite workouts (inspired by old FloTrack videos), but it lost money due to last-minute travel costs and limited YouTube revenue. He recouped losses by documenting his own marathon builds. Content landscape: Athletes now prefer posting their own journeys, making third-party workout videos harder. Influencers-as-coaches is a growing issue; both agree formal qualifications aren't required (many great coaches never had them), but buyers should do due diligence. Bad influencer coaches can still introduce people to the sport who later seek better help. Creators they follow: Truett Haynes (humor + ambitious Olympic Trials goal despite current times being far off; recently hired Rory Linkletter). Also Eric Floberg (cinematography) and Rory Linkletter (authenticity, Canadian marathon record pursuit). Weight/body composition debate: Matt accidentally got very lean (70 kg) for a 2:20 marathon, then gained 3–4 kg and plateaued at 2:23–2:24. After noticing he was much larger than the Japanese runners he raced with, he used carb-cycling (high carbs around key sessions, deficit on easy days) to drop back to ~69 kg and ran 2:18–2:19. He has since lost another ~12 kg. He stresses this is highly individual and risky. Personality matters: people with OCD/obsessive tendencies are more likely to develop RED-S or eating disorders. He now studies nutrition to give safer guidance. Examples cited: Josh Kerr's long-term leaning-out, George Cush dropping weight before winning Comrades, Ryan Hall hitting a point where further loss hurt performance. Both emphasize timing (fuel hard sessions, restrict on recovery days), not living in a perpetual deficit, and resetting after races. Chinese super shoes: Matt recently lab-tested 12 models from Anta, Li-Ning, 361°, Xtep, Dynafish, etc. Many perform comparably to Western shoes at half the price and often last longer. Notable mentions: Li-Ning Dragon Flight (79 g, technically illegal but extremely fast; a legal version is coming), Anta C10 (very similar to Puma Fast-R), Dynafish trainer (versatile, durable, sub-200 g). Barriers in the U.S.: high tariffs, limited specialty-store distribution, and brands currently focused on the Chinese market. Anta and Li-Ning are expanding globally. Matt's current status: Recovering from injury, posting daily on Instagram/Strava as Matt Fox. Targeting a 2:17 or faster at the Melbourne Marathon in two months.

More than 1.3 million children in the United States are unsheltered — and for many of them, a pair of new athletic shoes is not a given but a barrier, to school attendance, to sports participation, to the simple feeling of belonging. Amy Fass, Executive Director of Shoes That Fit, joins Care More Be Better as the domestic companion to the earlier Because International conversation, bringing the lens of childhood shoe insecurity home. She and host Corinna Bellizzi explore what new shoes actually do for a child's self-esteem, the stories of children transformed by something as simple as a name-brand sneaker, the antiquated federal poverty line that leaves millions uncounted, and how to make a concrete difference when the scale feels overwhelming.

"I really do believe that the arts are critical to how we move forward together, and live performance in particular, I think, is a way of us practicing how to move across our ideological boundaries and find one another and imagine these new worlds together and create together."Shanta Thake is the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—the nation's largest performing arts complex. Before stepping into this role, she spent nineteen years at The Public Theater, shaping the city's cultural landscape through Joe's Pub and expansive community initiatives. Today, she is tearing down walls—both the literal barriers separating Lincoln Center from its neighbors, and the figurative ones that dictate who belongs in our cultural spaces. She views the arts not as a luxury, but as essential civic infrastructure. We are pleased to have Shanta Thake to discuss her journey, the power of radical curation, and the future of public performance.(00:00) Reimagining Lincoln Center(03:09) A Collective Caretaking(03:47) The Technology of Human Creation(04:20) The Curiosity of Childhood(09:25) San Juan Hill and The Wall(14:20) globalFEST: Music and Connection(16:06) The Gift of Pause(17:20) A Collective CaretakingEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. What Women Still Fight For. We women have to fight for so much: being seen, heard, understood, listened to, recognized, and acknowledged. Despite progress, we are still taking a stand to transform women's rights, to overcome barriers to the freedom of voice, opinions, and expression. Little Human to Big Human. Maybe like me you wonder if there was a thru-line of advocacy between who you were as a Little Human Girl and who you are today as a Big Human Woman. What if the courage to speak up, to speak out, to say what you mean and mean what you say was always there? What It Takes. Maybe it's a matter of time, confronting your story, upending your upbringing, and challenging yourself to be a testament to truth. Or a situation that demands a response. Women whose pioneering work laid a foundation for future feminist thought, greater autonomy and independence shared a commitment: I may be one among many but I can draw many to me like fillings to a magnet and together we will do the work that's calling to be done. Click HERE for 36 examples of women who took a stand  Devil Within. I was a strong-willed handful as a child.  Today we might say I was spirited; but back then I was told “A dimple in the chin means a devil within.” I still have a dimple in my chin. That never left me. What I had to unlearn was a voice that society, religion, patriarchy, and education quieted down. Who am I? The courage to be one's self begins with digging down into the soil of that self. Who am I? What treasure trove of skills, experiences, wisdom, and more can I uncover? And when I uncover the story of myself how do I bestow permission on me to be that self? For a long overdue lesson in courage I turned to Virginia Woolf who knows well the “supreme difficulty of being oneself.”   "Let us simmer over our incalculable cauldron, our enthralling confusion, our hotch-potch of impulses, our perpetual miracle — for the soul throws up wonders every second. Movement and change are the essence of our being; rigidity is death; conformity is death: let us say what comes into our heads, repeat ourselves, contradict ourselves, fling out the wildest nonsense, and follow the most fantastic fancies without caring what the world does or thinks or says. For nothing matters except life.” ~ Virginia Woolf  Story Prompt: Turn back the pages of time, find that chapter when you were bright and shining, alive and curious, energetic, perceptive, or outspoken. Who is the Little Human Girl that used to be you? Where is she now? Write that story and share it out loud! Thank you for listening.

Remission, Jen explains, isn't just a cancer conversation: the same principles apply to diabetes and other chronic conditions rooted in metabolic health, which is why the conversation broadens from there into practical nutrition that works for everyone.Discover practical strategies for overcoming common barriers to healthy eating: convenience, time, and food addiction, and learn how to retrain your taste buds for real, whole foods. From intermittent fasting and ketogenic diets to simple home cooking techniques and smart shopping habits, Jen and Dr. Ron share actionable guidance for building a sustainable nutrition plan that supports metabolic health and long-term vitality.Whether you're thinking about remission from cancer, diabetes, or another chronic condition, or simply want to eat in a way that supports your metabolic health, this conversation offers practical, food-first strategies you can start using today.Chapters:0:00 Intro[1:15] Remission beyond cancer: diabetes and chronic conditions[4:10] Barriers to healthy eating: convenience, time, and food addiction[8:20] Home cooking techniques and smart shopping habits[12:40] Trends, Intermittent fasting, and ketogenic diets[17:40] Building a sustainable nutrition plan

Have you ever wondered what role the mind could play in treating women's health conditions? On this episode of BackTable Women's Health, host Dr. Nicole Faulkner interviews Dr. Sonia Gupte, a family medicine physician and board-certified clinical hypnotherapist, about how clinical hypnotherapy can help patients access the subconscious, resolve emotional barriers, and rewire patterns that affect both body and mind. Dr. Gupte discusses the use of hypnotherapy for a range of women's health concerns including PMS, postpartum depression, hot flashes, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain, highlighting the potential for more holistic care. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 04:40 - Discovering Hypnotherapy08:59 - What a Session Looks Like13:02 - Remote Sessions and Results17:27 - Follow-Up and Maintenance20:13 - Women's Health Examples28:05 - Talking to Patients30:47 - Hypnosis vs. Therapy33:07 - Pap Smear Trauma Case37:28 - Breathwork Reset Tool42:42 - Uncovering Repressed Trauma46:17 - Burnout and Stress49:12 - Barriers to Success53:21 - Call To Action54:58 - Live Demo Plans55:50 - Closing Remarks --- More about this episode Dr. Gupte shares how her mother's experience with cancer, depression, and a suicide attempt inspired her to explore hypnotherapy and ultimately bring it into her medical practice.

Episode 240Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 42God both has and will go to incredible lengths to reach us with the gospel. He not only declared it way back in the Garden of Eden, but He also faithfully brought His promise to fruition when He came to the earth as a babe in the manger, then was crucified and resurrected after 33 years of a perfect life lived in our stead. Even now, His work to reach the lost continues. Every tract we pass out, every gospel presentation we give, every testimony we share--all are reflective of God's commitment to seek and save the lost. In this episode, we continue in the How Were Your Barriers Removed series with an interview of Simon Chu to hear how God saved him. Born in Hong Kong but raised in the U.S. after living in Nigeria for a year, he grew up in a nonreligious home with no Christian witness. His father was agnostic and his mother followed Buddhism. Though friends in his childhood professed to be Christians, their lives gradually suggested otherwise and provided no real witness to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. In spite of this, the Lord had already been working in his heart, and eternity was a persistent question at the back of his mind. Join us and hear how God used imperfect people using imperfect evangelism efforts to bring Simon to a saving knowledge of Christ, and how God changed him into a faithful soulwinner as well.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Edifi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsv⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/mga8A77⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podnews: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact us:Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Financially support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Affiliates:Book Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Books [dot] com: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fastmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://join.fastmail.com/8e23c12b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our affiliates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

GOD SAID, START! | Four Barriers That Keep Us From BeginningWhat's keeping you from taking the first step?Many of us aren't held back by a lack of ability—we're held back by fear, comparison, perfectionism, or a misunderstanding of what biblical faith really is. In this Midweek Bible Study, Pastor Dominique Beaumonte explores four common barriers that keep us from beginning and what God's Word teaches about moving forward in faith.In this lesson, we'll discuss:• Waiting for perfect conditions• Taking ownership without leaving room for God• Being stifled by comparison• Misunderstanding the work of faithKey Scripture:

Twenty years of digital marketing created something of a monster: companies poured enormous investment into analytics teams, MarTech stacks, media capabilities, and data infrastructure—and then watched all those functions march off into their respective silos to work really, really hard at producing activity rather than impact. Rusty Rahmer, founder of Starize AI and author of Working As Designed, joined Michael, Julie, and Val to dig into why that happened, why it's still happening, and what it actually takes to flip the shovel over and use the right end. Along the way, Rusty—who Val correctly identified early as a spontaneous analogy machine—explained why customer journey maps on walls are basically the statistical average American life that literally nobody lives, why waffle fries are structurally superior to ridged chips (and what that has to do with cross-functional team design), and why the most important question a marketing leader can ask a room full of executives is also the one most likely to be met with complete silence.

Hello & welcome to this episode of the podcast, where I'm joined by Dr Megan James who has had a great year so far in terms of research output! Not only does Megan have a great chapter in Grainne Donnelly's book Sports Medicine and the Pelvic Floor, but she's published TWO other great papers on postpartum pelvic loading and return to exercise!Megan discussed her academic journey from studying sport and exercise science to completing a PhD focused on pelvic injuries and running, particularly postpartum return to running. She explained her recent work developing a graded loading pathway using external pelvic acceleration variables, which aimed to create evidence-based return-to-run protocols for postpartum athletes by measuring pelvic acceleration rather than just ground reaction force.We discussed the forces on the pelvic floor during different activities, particularly running. Megan explained that while vertical forces are significant, the direction and absorption of forces vary depending on movement patterns and landing techniques. We explored the concept of grounded running as a potential way to reduce pelvic acceleration by increasing duty factor, which is the ratio of ground contact time to stride time. Megan noted that grounded running naturally maintains a duty factor over 50%, which could help in reducing pelvic stress.We also discussed Megan's research paper on postpartum return to running, focusing on the Double Diamond co-design framework used in the study. Megan explained that the framework was chosen to incorporate end users' perspectives throughout the research process, covering four stages: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. I think this discussion highlights the importance of considering both barriers and enablers to postpartum exercise, so we can (hopefully!) see more research aiming to bridge the gaps between evidence-based studies and practical clinical applicationsWe also chatted about an online return-to-running resource that Megan and her team developed, which provides a flexible 150-minute weekly exercise plan tailored for women. Megan's PhD research focused on developing a postpartum exercise guide, which provides individualized exercise recommendations for new mothers based on their specific needs and symptoms. Megan explained that the guide offers a "buffet of choices" allowing mothers to select appropriate exercises, with POGP involvement adding credibility and trustworthiness to the resource. We talked about potential future research directions, including testing the guide's effectiveness through controlled studies and validating the relationship between movement variables and pelvic floor dysfunction mechanisms. I really love this work's practical impact on improving maternal health and well-being and I think it gives such a strong foundation for future research in this field.Here's a link the resource we talked about:Guide for return to running: https://doi.org/10.25401/cardiffmet.26403592want to learn more about supporting the postpartum woman on the road back to exercise and health?

What if the safest career path in an era of rapid AI disruption is actually doing something entrepreneurial or mission-driven? In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Arun Gupta, CEO of NobleReach Foundation and author of The Mission Generation: Reclaim Your Purpose, Rewrite Success, Rebuild Our Future. Drawing from his background as a venture capitalist, Georgetown and Stanford instructor, and public service advocate, Arun breaks down why traditional stability is becoming the new risk and how emerging generations—and professionals at all career stages—can align personal ambition with civic purpose. They discuss why fewer than 7% of government tech workers are under the age of 30, how to modernize public service pathways beyond outdated hiring portals, and why AI will elevate human-centric strengths like curiosity, judgment, and cross-domain experience. Arun also introduces a framework for rethinking individual net worth around five "hidden capitals"—trust, learning, experiential, mission, and health capital—that compound over a 60-year career horizon. KEY INSIGHTS: Stability as the New Risk: Relying strictly on traditional prestige markers (where you work) over purpose markers (the problems you solve) leaves professionals vulnerable to rapid technological and economic shifts. The Five Hidden Capitals: Career value extends far beyond financial metrics, compounding over time through trust, curiosity, diverse experience, mission impact, and sustained health. Public Service as a Career Accelerator: Short-term civic stints should be framed as resume-enhancing accelerators rather than lifetime commitments, making public service more accessible for tech and business talent. Inverting the Risk Equation: A venture capital mindset shifts the focus from "what if it goes wrong?" to "what if it goes right?"—encouraging transformative, mission-oriented bets over incremental safety. From Independence to Interdependence: Solving large-scale modern challenges requires building cross-sector pathways between public, private, and social institutions.

In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Dario Miceli, the passionate founder of Padel Magazine, to explore the explosive growth and unique challenges of padel, one of the world's fastest-rising racket sports. Dario shares his career path from real estate investor to becoming the unlikely publisher of a global magazine, revealing what makes padel so addictive, how it's carving its own unconventional path in the U.S., and why the current market still feels like the Wild West. From navigating linguistic debates (is it "padel" or "paddle"?), to the complexities of building courts, sourcing coaches, and attracting capital, Dario delivers an insider's perspective. He unpacks the differences between padel, pickleball, and tennis, the need for innovation in business models, and how communities in places like Spain can serve as a benchmark for what's possible. Whether you're a fitness executive, an investor, or simply curious about what's next in the HALO sector, this conversation offers valuable insights on seizing opportunities in an industry at the very beginning of its American ascent. On padel's cultural phenomenon, Dario states, "You have housing developments that instead of having a pool in the middle, they have padel courts with grills around them. People want to raise their kids around this sport." Key themes discussed Growth and adoption barriers of padel in the U.S. Lack of standardized business models for padel facilities Institutional capital vs. private investment in padel Comparison of padel to pickleball and tennis Spectator appeal and media presence of padel Coaching shortages and challenges for talent development Community-building and entrepreneurial ecosystem in padel A Few Key Takeaways 1.Padel in the U.S. Is the New "Wild West": The American padel market is in a raw, unstructured phase with no set blueprint, governing body, or proven business model. This creates both uncertainty and a prime opportunity for innovation, collaboration, and new entrants looking to shape the industry's direction 05:15. 2. Barriers to Scale Differ From Pickleball: Unlike pickleball, which has low costs and minimal barriers to entry, building a padel facility is costly and complex, often ranging from $30,000 to $70,000 per court, requiring municipal approvals, engineering, and expertise to build properly. These higher hurdles explain why institutional capital has not yet flowed into padel at the same pace, though private and venture investors are starting to show interest 07:09. 3. No Proven Facility Model . . . Yet: There's no consensus on the best facility model for padel. Operators are experimenting: some go premium with club-like amenities, others take a stripped-down approach by placing courts in urban spaces with minimal services. Ancillary income from food & beverage, social spaces, and wellness amenities are believed to be important, but no one model has emerged as consistently successful 16:01. 4. Lack of Coaches Is a Major Growth Bottleneck: One of the biggest constraints to padel's U.S. growth is the acute shortage of qualified coaches. Most have to be imported, which raises costs and complexity. There's an emerging focus on converting athletes from other racket sports, but true domestic, homegrown coaching talent will take years to develop 18:16. 5. Ecosystem Building Trumps KPIs at This Stage: For leaders like Dario, success is about catalyzing an ecosystem—getting more people passionate about padel, inspiring entrepreneurs and innovators to build complementary businesses, and spreading awareness. Traditional business metrics take a backseat to community creation and sport evangelism at this early stage 22:11.

What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.
