If you train high school athletes like Division I pros, you are destroying their potential. For 13 years at Wisconsin, Brian Bott built NFL offensive linemen and Rose Bowl champions using old-school grit—only to realize that the biggest mistake strength coaches make is confusing intensity with actual development. Bott reveals the hard-earned wisdom behind taking a 13-year-old from a broken squat pattern to a 500-pound lift, detailing why chasing glitzy speed drills over raw force production dooms young athletes to failure. He breaks down the exact conjugate framework he uses to build armor, protect fragile backs, and teach high schoolers how to handle brutal, back-to-back stress so they dominate when November comes. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Fixing Broken Movement: Why correcting bad motor patterns takes eight weeks—and why Bott would rather train a blank slate than a kid taught the wrong way. The 2010 Programming Shift: How Wisconsin linemen front squatted heavy during spring scrimmage weeks so they could survive the physical demands of late-season Big Ten football. Basketball vs. Football Wear and Tear: Why high school basketball players often sustain more back compression issues from repeated landings than football players do from squatting. Auto-Regulating Dynamic Effort: How to adjust speed work using bar velocity and readiness when athletes are drained from school, practice, and life stress. Minimal-Dose In-Season Training: The strategy that eliminates unnecessary accessory work to preserve shoulders while continuing to build real power. MEET THE GUEST Brian Bott spent 13 seasons as an Assistant Strength Coach for the University of Wisconsin Badgers, contributing to three Big Ten Championships, three Rose Bowl appearances, and developing elite NFL talent including Joe Thomas, J.J. Watt, and Russell Wilson. As the owner of Sports AdvantEdge—now expanded across seven locations—and Head Strength Coach for LOVB Madison, Bott has spent more than 25 years developing resilient, high-performance athletes through battle-tested conjugate methods and uncompromising technique.

Dans ce cinquième épisode de la série de l'été, je vous emmène à la librairie Mots en marge pour une interview avec l'écrivain David Foenkinos, à propos de son roman Numéro deux (Editions Gallimard). Le 90 se cache dans notre échange — tendez bien l'oreille ! A real conversation with David Foenkinos, one of France's most popular contemporary novelists, recorded at a Paris bookshop. We talk about his novel Numéro deux, tthe strange true story that inspired it, and a trip back to a very different Paris. Because Foenkinos is a writer, he expresses himself with unusual clarity – this is spontaneous, unscripted French, but easier to follow than most everyday conversation, making it a great entry point into real interviews. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with this episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, a line from the interview worth repeating out loud for its rhythm alone, and a comprehension question to answer once you've listened all the way through. A different way to make progress in French.

What if one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the opportunity to struggle? Bestselling author Jessica Lahey joins Ginny for a powerful conversation about two of the biggest challenges facing families today: raising capable, independent kids and protecting them from a culture of addiction. Drawing from her books The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation, Jessica explains why our instinct to protect children from discomfort can unintentionally rob them of confidence, resilience, and the ability to solve problems on their own. They discuss why kids need real responsibility, how unstructured play and outdoor adventures build self-efficacy, and why allowing children to experience manageable failure is one of the most loving things a parent can do. Jessica also shares evidence-based research on substance use prevention, including why delaying alcohol and drug use matters, how clear family expectations reduce risk, and why connection—not control—is one of the strongest protective factors we can offer our children. From helicopter parenting and grade portals to dopamine, executive function, anxiety, and the importance of letting kids figure things out for themselves, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and encouragement for every parent navigating the teenage years—and the years leading up to them. If you've ever wondered whether you're helping too much, or how to raise children who are prepared for real life, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

To survive the brutal reality of elite-level strength, you might have to destroy the very person you spent a lifetime building. Ben Pollack earned a PhD in physical culture history while systematically destroying his own body, ignoring years of excruciating warnings for the sake of world records and plastic trophies. But when a sudden, terrifying neurological shutdown left half his body completely unresponsive overnight, he was forced to abandon the self-destructive addiction to pure suffering and learn what true strength is actually for. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Paralyzing Price of Progress: How chronic tension and "clenching" led to a sudden neurological collapse that left Ben unable to flex his own lat. The Trap of Extreme Weight Cuts: The brutal reality of starving down to 181 pounds, and why the physical toll of dehydration is more dangerous than any PED. Forced Identity Death: Why the most critical step in recovering from a career-ending injury is literally becoming a different human being. The Illusion of More: How chasing a 600-pound deadlift proved that achieving your ultimate physical goals won't fix who you are on the inside. Redefining Effort: Why your accessory work is wasting energy, and how to train with high frequency without accumulating crippling global fatigue. MEET THE GUEST Ben Pollack is a physical culture scholar, former world-record powerlifter, and IFBB Pro bodybuilder who has spent his life bridging the gap between academic theory and under-the-bar reality. After reaching the peak of both strength and physique sports, Ben faced a near-fatal neurological reckoning that forced him to dismantle his philosophy. Today, he coaches athletes not just to build elite strength, but to survive it.

In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #368, Chris, Hogi, and Adam dig into one of the biggest and most expensive misconceptions plaguing dealership fixed operations today: the constant cry for "more traffic" and "advisor training." The team uncovers the real patterns behind hundreds of service departments and reveals a harsh disconnect—dealerships aren't running out of work; they are failing their technicians and losing their best producers. Chris and the crew break down why shoving more traffic into a shop running at 60% to 70% efficiency is an absolute recipe for disaster that tanks your customer satisfaction score. We unpack why service advisors secretly refuse to sell work when the shop is backed up, why the industry completely abandoned basic maintenance sales, and how to use the "Theory of Constraints" to treat your shop like a high-output factory. Plus: Adam talks about his $7,500 journey to becoming a certified master distiller, Chris debates the risks of blind-inducing backyard moonshine, and the guys try to figure out which "I" state they are traveling to next.
Send us Fan MailNew York Times bestselling author Jason June (Out of the Blue, Jay's Gay Agenda) returns to Writers With Wrinkles for a wide-ranging conversation covering his growing acting career, the current state of the publishing industry, and his upcoming adult rom-com Santa and Krampus' Cozy Killer Christmas, out fall 2027. Jason is refreshingly candid — about book advances, about the anxiety running through publishing right now, and about finding joy in the work when the business side gets hard. GuestJason June — NYT bestselling author, actor, screenwriter, and self-described "Laura Dern stan" based in Dallas, TX. Known for YA rom-coms Out of the Blue and Jay's Gay Agenda, and publisher of The Ventorship, a newsletter on author finances and transparency. Highlights• Auditioning post-COVID: why self-tapes democratize acting, and what's lost without an in-person redirect from a casting director• How years of writing fiction sharpened Jason's instincts for character and story on set• The "greater sense of unease" in publishing right now — AI concerns, slow timelines, and authors questioning why traditional publishing can't move faster• Self-publishing's rising role, the discovery gap it still faces, and why hybrid careers are becoming more common• The Dungeon Crawler Carl story as a case study in trusting your own artistic vision• Why Jason publicly shares his advances and royalties through The Ventorship — and the argument that most of that "secrecy" is self-imposed• Publishing as a side hustle: debut culture, shrinking advances, and the myth of the "cushy" author life• The MER Principle (Beth's term): find the niche community obsessed with your book's specific hook, not a general audience• The premise behind Santa and Krampus' Cozy Killer Christmas — a "dark cozy" where Krampus only kills the people who'd otherwise doom humanity• Jason's advice to aspiring authors: chase the joy, and aim to be "prolific, not perfect" Key TakeawayWhether you're navigating traditional publishing, weighing a hybrid career, or just trying to market your next book, the throughline is the same: get specific.

Bestselling novelist Daniel Silva — creator of the Gabriel Allon series — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a conversation that starts with the craft of spy fiction and quickly becomes something closer to a threat assessment. Silva's newest plot turns on drones, and he's blunt that this isn't speculative: he believes it's a matter of time before a drone carries out an assassination or a mass-casualty attack. He talks about the strange responsibility of writing a fictional event that could plausibly happen next month, why he deliberately withholds visual detail so readers build the scene themselves, and what he learned reporting out how modern kidnappings and ransom negotiations actually work. The darker current running underneath is his read on American intelligence: the FBI is no longer the same place, the U.S. is jettisoning allies and hollowing out its agencies, and Silva poses the question a novelist is uniquely positioned to ask — if you're the GRU right now, where would you most want an asset placed? He notes that the best assets often don't know they're assets, that NATO held a crisis meeting about Trump, and that this is precisely the moment to be putting the screws to a vulnerable Putin, since Ukraine has victory in sight and isn't desperate for any deal. The conversation turns personal when Chuck asks how Silva handles Israel's collapsing global reputation in a series built around an Israeli intelligence officer. Silva says the shift was entirely foreseeable, that he has no interest in writing about Gaza, and that what saddens him most is the "fortress Israel" mindset — a country founded on European-style socialist ideals now convinced it can go it alone, siloed from the world, while antisemitism surges globally in a way he warns only ever needs the right set of circumstances to reignite. He and Chuck range across the forces reshaping the century: giant corporations approaching the power of nation-states, a new generation of the ultra-wealthy who simply don't believe in philanthropy, AI's capacity to wipe out the knowledge economy, and Silva's conviction that the next great political crisis may be a climate-driven natural disaster — noting that the last major El Niño produced famines that killed millions, that today's migration patterns are already climate-driven, and that people are dying right now as a direct result of cutting humanitarian aid. He's unsparing on writing and AI), amused and appalled that Trump has turned the National Mall into a mess with a reflecting pool gone "Kermit green," and closes on the question every prolific novelist gets asked and rarely answers honestly: does he ever actually rest?

You can buy fat loss with an injection, but you cannot fake the raw, violent physical capability required to survive when the lights turn on and the floor turns into a warzone. Before stepping under the Hollywood lights as the new faces of American Gladiators, Daniella Means, Lu Faustin, and Kailey Latimer forged their armor through shattered orbital bones, grueling Division I athletic politics, and the unforgiving reality of immigrant grit. Along the way, they realized that true elite-level performance isn't about chasing aesthetic superficiality or corporate fitness trends, but about weaponizing a zero-compromise mindset that translates directly from the platform to the dirt. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Pump Illusion: Why traditional backstage preparation caused elite male competitors to break down while the women survived the heavy volume. The Earning Curve: The harsh psychological divide between physical attributes you can buy off a shelf and the absolute power that must be taxed out of your own spine. Combat Transfer: How pro-wrestling ring psychology outmuscled raw weightlifting metrics the exact second the script went out the window. Isolated Pressure: The brutal transition from team-dependent field sports to the cold, solitary numbers dictated by the barbell. MEET THE GUESTS Daniella "Voltage" Means is an IFBB Pro and IPF World Champion who stood on a national competitive platform just eight weeks after surviving a devastating hammer attack to the face. Lu "Empire" Faustin is an IFBB Figure Pro, WBFF Pro, entrepreneur, and speaker.

**What happens when the mission ends?** For thirteen years, **Reid Cross** led elite U.S. Army Green Berets through some of the world's most dangerous environments across the Middle East and Africa. He understood combat, leadership, sacrifice, and the responsibility of leading soldiers in life-and-death situations. But nothing prepared him for the battle that came after leaving active duty. In this powerful conversation, Reid opens up about the identity crisis that nearly consumed him after transitioning from active duty, the silent struggle so many veterans face when purpose disappears, and how writing **Nation Fall** became the lifeline that helped him rediscover his mission. This isn't just a conversation about military service. It's about resilience. It's about rebuilding. It's about finding purpose when everything you once defined yourself by is suddenly gone. Rich LaMonica and Reid dive deep into leadership under pressure, overcoming failure, transitioning into civilian life, PTSD awareness, family, faith, resilience, and why storytelling can sometimes reveal deeper truths than history itself. Whether you're a veteran, first responder, entrepreneur, leader, or simply someone searching for your next chapter, this episode will challenge, inspire, and remind you that your greatest mission may still be ahead. In this episode you'll discover: • Reid's unlikely journey from struggling college graduate to Green Beret Officer • The leadership lessons forged in Special Operations • Why transitioning out of the military can become life's hardest battle • The hidden danger of losing purpose after service • How writing "Nation Fall" literally changed—and may have saved—his life • Lessons in resilience, mental health, and PTSD awareness • The importance of family, accountability, and brotherhood • Three practical habits anyone can begin today to build a stronger life **About Reid Cross** Reid Cross is an active-duty Green Beret Officer, combat veteran, and author of the bestselling thriller **Nation Fall**. After more than a decade leading Special Operations Forces across the globe, he now advocates for veteran mental health, leadership, and finding purpose beyond the uniform.

Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce has a conversation with New York Times Bestselling author Annabel Monaghan about her new book, Dolly All The Time Author Bio: Annabel is the New York Times bestselling and Library Reads Hall of Fame author of Dolly All The Time, It's A Love Story, Summer Romance, Same Time Next Summer and Nora Goes Off Script, published by G.P.

Book Summary: A romance about a single mother who's offered a Pretty Woman-type deal that's too good to refuse. If they begin by pretending, can they end with something real? Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn't solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Wickford, Rhode Island for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home. So when she comes across Stewart Wickford—annoyingly handsome scion of the Wickford family—with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it's in her nature to help. But Stewart's proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and swinging on the porch, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She's never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?

The worst thing that can happen to an elite bencher might be the exact psychological reset needed to save their career. Before Jordan Wong could break all-time world squat records and scale a massive commercial gym facility, he had to navigate a catastrophic, full-tendon pec rupture without health insurance and a surgeon who treated him like a dumb meathead. By ripping up the traditional six-week immobilization protocol on day three and treating his recovery like a full-time corporate job, he discovered a counterintuitive approach to training longevity that most lifelong lifters ignore until it is far too late. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Day-Three Rebellion: Why abandoning traditional medical timelines and ignoring the six-week sling protocol saved his chest from locking up with crippling scar tissue. Auditing the Ego: The brutal reality of time-tracking your daily habits and why looking like an idiot on paper prevents empty training sessions. The Death of the Niche Gym: How shifting away from a hardcore powerlifting aesthetic to embrace gen-pop members drove a 140% explosion in revenue. The 10% Jump Trap: Why male coaches consistently ruin their girlfriends' lifting progress on the bench press by ignoring the strict math of structural percentages. Chasing the Exit: The stark biological warning against migrating to Masters divisions just to chase rankings and satisfy a fading competitive identity. MEET THE GUEST Jordan Wong is a two-time all-time world record squat holder, elite powerlifter, and the founder of Showcase Strength & Fitness in North Port, Florida. After a devastating full-tendon pec tear threatened to permanently sideline his competitive career, he leveraged the injury to completely overhaul his approach to training economics and high-performance longevity. Today, he translates that hard-earned physical resilience into business metrics, scaling his facility's footprint while cultivating a results-driven, community-first culture that bridges the gap between elite lifters and everyday athletes.

Have you ever reinvented yourself — even unintentionally? Bestselling author Maria Semple's latest novel, Go Gentle, tells the story of one woman's midlife transformation. Adora Hazzard, a Stoic philosopher and divorcée living in New York City, believes that she has it all figured out. She's a working mom of a teenage daughter, she's relishing her freedom, and she regularly meets with a group of like-minded women she refers to her "coven" — a group she assembled herself and is working to expand. Adora's carefully curated life is going as planned until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger. She begins subverting people's expectations — perhaps most of all her own. Soon, her normally orderly existence is upended by adventure and risk: black-market art deals, secret rendezvous, and international intrigue. If that isn't enough, secrets from her past return to visit her in the present. Go Gentle's narrative raises that age-old question: In the battle between the mind and the heart, which one will win? Maria Semple is the bestselling author of Today Will Be Different, Where'd You Go, Bernadette, and This One Is Mine. Her novels have been translated into forty languages. Before writing fiction, Maria wrote for TV. She lives in New York. Ken Jennings is still the Jeopardy! record-holder for his 74-game streak on the beloved quiz show back in 2004. In 2020, he was named Jeopardy!'s "Greatest of All Time" and began hosting the show following the death of longtime host Alex Trebek later that year. Ken is the author of 14 books, most recently The Complete Kennections. Buy the Book Go Gentle: A Novel Elliott Bay Book Company
Picture a twenty-something widow in Paris, a sick one-year-old on her hip, and an attic full of paintings nobody wants—not galleries, not critics, not even her own family.That widow was Jo van Gogh, and the paintings belonged to her late husband's brother, a mostly forgotten failure named Vincent. What she did next didn't just save a legacy. It invented one. Bestselling author Jo Piazza tells her story in The Parisian Heist, and by the end of this episode, you may never look at a Van Gogh—or a woman rebuilding her life from nothing—the same way again.The Parisian Heist moves between two timelines that mirror each other in surprising ways. In the past, we watch Jo van Gogh turn grief and financial desperation into a masterclass in reinvention—she becomes an art dealer, manipulates the market, and manufactures the myth of the "tortured genius" we still associate with Vincent today.In a second timeline set in 1996, three broke art students get pulled into a heist against a corrupt, billionaire art-dealing family, guided by a widow with her own scores to settle. Piazza calls it a "delicious beach read," but underneath the spice—and yes, there's a very spicy memorable scene in the Louvre — sit real questions about who gets to be called an artist, who gets the credit, and what a woman is capable of when she has nothing left to lose.Piazza didn't just research Jo van Gogh's story — she recognized it. As a journalist-turned-novelist raising three kids, she's candid about the balls she drops daily, the deadlines she meets with help from what she calls "an army of babysitters," and a marriage where, in her words, she "married her glass ceiling."That honesty is exactly why this book lands the way it does: it isn't really about Impressionist art. It's about what a woman builds when the life she expected falls apart, and about the quiet, radical decision to keep going anyway.For anyone standing in their own version of that attic — starting over after loss, after motherhood rearranges everything, after the version of life they planned stops making sense — Jo van Gogh's story, and Jo Piazza's telling of it, is proof that reinvention isn't just possible. It's often where the real story begins.Go pick up a copy of The Parisian Heist by Jo Piazza HERE!

Happiness comes before success, not after it. Bestselling author Andrew Matthews explains why gratitude — not achievement — is the real foundation of a good life. Episode Overview Andrew Matthews — author of Being Happy, Follow Your Heart, and Bouncing Back, with more than eight million books sold in 48 languages — joins Brett Ingram to unpack why happiness has to be decided before success arrives, not collected after. They cover the habits that build gratitude on purpose, why self-worth quietly shapes the life you'll settle for, and the three traits that define genuinely resilient people. What You'll Discover Why happier people solve problems roughly 20% faster and, in one cited study, diagnose medical cases 30% more accurately The one-slice-of-cake cartoon that captures the entire difference between happy and unhappy people Why disliking yourself is the hidden reason people stay in jobs and relationships that hurt them The research on "following your passion" that found people don't find work they love — they build it Three deliberate habits for building gratitude: decision, focusing on needs over wants, and self-forgiveness The three traits Andrew found shared by every resilient person he's studied Why your mind can't process "I don't want" — and what to picture instead Episode Timestamps [00:00] Introduction: the power of gratitude and happiness [01:00] From law school and painting to writing Being Happy [04:00] The colleague whose happiness "shamed" Brett into rethinking his own [07:00] Happiness as foundation, not reward: debunking the success myth [09:00] The one-slice-of-cake cartoon: happy vs. unhappy people [12:00] Why liking yourself decides what life you'll accept [18:00] Enjoying your work without chasing "passion" [24:00] Three practical habits for building gratitude on purpose [29:00] Forgiving yourself — and why it changes your relationships [32:00] Bouncing Back: three traits every resilient person shares [38:00] Visualization and the picture you carry of yourself [43:00] Why your mind can't process "don't want" [46:00] Where to find Andrew's books and newsletter About Andrew Matthews Andrew Matthews is an internationally bestselling author, speaker, and cartoonist whose books — including Being Happy, Follow Your Heart, and Bouncing Back — have sold more than eight million copies in 48 languages. He has spoken to over 1,000 audiences in 30 countries and given more than 5,000 media interviews on gratitude, resilience, and attitude. Connect with Andrew: https://andrewmatthews.com | Books on Amazon FAQ Q: Does happiness come before or after success? A: Andrew Matthews argues happiness has to come first — it's not an optional extra you earn through achievement. Happier people have more energy, notice more opportunities, and solve problems faster. Success built on top of happiness lasts; happiness deferred until after success rarely shows up. Q: What's the real difference between happy and unhappy people? A: According to Matthews, happy people focus on what they have, and unhappy people focus on what's missing. He illustrates it with a cartoon of two men and a cake — one content with a single slice, one miserable despite having almost the whole thing. Q: How do you build gratitude as a habit, not just a feeling? A: Matthews recommends three practices: treat happiness as a decision rather than a reaction to circumstance, focus on what you need instead of what you want, and forgive yourself for not being perfect. He suggests keeping a photo of yourself at age three visible as a daily reminder of that grace.

Can a lifelong discovery writer write faster and embrace structure without losing the magic? Bestselling author Grace Draven wrote 62,000 words in 21 days and says absolutely.In this episode, Grace shares how the tools and mindset shifts she picked up from The Fiction Writing Made Easy podcast helped her write faster, avoid massive rewrites, and finish one of her strongest books, The Moon Raven—drafting 62,000 words in just 21 days to hit a tight preorder deadline—and why that experience convinced her to join Notes to Novel. After publishing more than 20 books and hitting the USA Today bestseller list five times, Grace explains why even experienced authors benefit from refining their process, and why structure isn't the creativity killer so many writers fear it is.Whether you're a proud pantser, a frustrated discovery writer, or someone looking for a faster, more reliable way to finish your novel, this conversation shows what's possible when you pair your natural creative process with the right story structure tools that I teach in Notes to Novel. Here's what we talk about:[08:00] Why thinking in scenes instead of chapters completely changed Grace's writing process and helped her write more efficiently without sacrificing creativity.[12:55] How Grace fast drafted 62,000 words in just 21 days, met a high-pressure preorder deadline, and still delivered a solid book.[18:41] How structure became a safety net that let Grace write around interruptions and a demanding home life without losing her place (or her creativity). [23:30] What happened when Grace her antagonist first (before fleshing out her protagonist)—and how this helped raise the stakes and eliminate unnecessary rewrites.[29:38] How the tools from Notes to Novel gave Grace the confidence to commit to a delivery schedule with her new multi-book publishing deal.If you've ever worried that outlining will make your writing feel formulaic or that your discovery writing process slows you down, this episode will show you how to write faster and build a process that leaves room for the magic instead of squeezing it out.

"Your skill set's not going to be lifting weights—it's going to be the sport, but you still have to learn how to strain." For thirteen seasons, including eleven in the collegiate trenches, Lucas White has survived the brutal, revolving-door reality of Division I strength coaching by adapting elite powerlifting principles to hyper-talented athletes who have never had to grind out a rep in their lives. By rejecting the copy-and-paste templates of traditional football programs and introducing Westside-influenced periodization to a 120-man roster, he transformed the weight room from a mandatory chore into a high-stakes diagnostic lab where athletic longevity is built and weaknesses are ruthlessly exposed. INSIDE THE EPISODE Managing the Chaos: The exact mechanics of running a multi-wave conjugate system inside a high-pressure Power Five football program. Specialty Bars as Diagnostics: Why safety squat bars, cambered bars, and Swiss bars are essential diagnostic tools rather than optional accessories. The Private Sector Carryover: What elite collegiate programs must steal from underground powerlifting gyms to drastically reduce player mileage. The 20% Rule: Cultivating absolute, bone-crushing strength when your athletes are genetically gifted but technically raw in the weight room. Surviving the Trench: A raw look at the grueling reality of zero-dollar internships, moving across the country, and earning trust at the elite level. MEET THE GUEST Lucas White is an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for Penn State Football, operating under Director Reid Kagy and Head Coach Matt Campbell. Over a thirteen-season career spanning stops at Iowa State, Boise State, and Mississippi State, White has cemented himself as a premier practitioner of team-scale conjugate periodization. His philosophy was forged not in pristine football facilities, but through years of coaching Olympic sports and training alongside world-record lifters in the private sector—proving that true strength coaching isn't about chasing arbitrary numbers, but building a robust physical base that survives the chaos of late-November football.

In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #366, Chris, Hogi, and Adam keep the energy rolling right out of America's historic 250th Fourth of July weekend by tackling a digital process that is completely taking over the industry—and failing miserably in most shops: video inspections. The team pulls no punches as they break down why so many dealerships are struggling with open rates, crashing hours per RO, and uncomfortable technicians. Chris shares why forcing veteran technicians to perform like social media influencers is killing your shop's momentum, and how standard digital video apps can actually destroy customer trust if your processes are fundamentally broken on paper first. We unpack the hidden psychology of video, what politics can teach us about camera angles and lighting, and why the person at the manufacturer who forced this software on your drive has likely never written a repair order in their life.
Bestselling fantasy authors Holly Black and Samantha Shannon on building believable magic systems, researching and constructing immersive worlds, and why the right book often only emerges once you've written the wrong one. You'll learn Why the most convincing magic on the page often starts with something you once half-believed was real. How writing the wrong version of a book can be the only route to the right one. What the texture of a world quietly promises a reader before the plot even begins. Why putting a character through the worst is often the best thing you can do for a story. When the certainty that your draft is a disaster is just a normal part of the process. What early hype can do to a writer, and why other writers are the antidote. Where to draw the line between research that serves the book and a rabbit hole that doesn't. A method for plotting a long series when you know the destination but not the route. What happens when a character starts refusing what you try to make it do.

You aren't truly learning how to lift until someone forces you to pull the slack out of a stiff bar with an opener that's completely out of your league. For multi-time world champion Valerie Smith, transitioning from a decade in corporate HR to the elite tiers of Master's powerlifting meant trading worst-case scenario corporate risk models for the cold reality of the platform. Her evolution from a rookie who bombed out of her first meet to an international referee and state chair reveals why true strength isn't about chasing numbers on a spreadsheet, but about mastering the brutal, second-order consequences of training past forty. INSIDE THE EPISODE The Referee Advantage: How dissecting hundreds of perfect and horrible lifts from the judge's chair will instantly fix your own execution. The 40-Year-Old Engine: Why elite conditioning from CrossFit and obstacle racing allows older lifters to survive brutal trial-and-error programming. Strategic Warmups: The exact logic behind picking openers that build platform momentum instead of draining your energy before the third attempt. Overcoming Platform Fear: The psychological shift required to transition from hoping a max squat is there to obsessing over it until it becomes reality. MEET THE GUEST Valerie Smith is a Georgia-based powerlifter, USPA Meet Director, IPL International Referee, and multi-time national and world champion. Moving away from a ten-year career as a corporate HR manager, she applied her deep understanding of human performance, decision-making, and structural discipline to iron. Today, she runs Iron Beast Strength and co-leads USPA Georgia, dedicating her career to mentoring new lifters and building a resilient, high-performance lifting community.

Think about the last time you couldn't make up your mind about a big decision. Maybe you made a pro-and-con list, read every review, and talked it through with other people — and still couldn't decide. We tell ourselves that just a little more information will finally bring the certainty we need to choose. But my guest today says more research can fuel your anxiety and the certainty we're chasing doesn't actually exist. If you're indecisive, you overthink every choice, or you freeze up for fear of making the wrong decision, this episode is for you. My guest is Simone Stolzoff, a journalist and the author of The Good Enough Job. His new book, How to Not Know, is all about making hard decisions and learning to tolerate uncertainty. In this episode on decision-making and uncertainty, we discuss: Why our tolerance for uncertainty is shrinking at the exact moment the world is becoming more uncertain The two surprising ways people dodge hard decisions — and why impulsive decision-makers may be just as avoidant as obsessive researchers The study that showed we'd rather face a guaranteed painful event than sit with the uncertainty of one Why the best leaders aren't "know-it-alls" but "learn-it-alls" The Only Option Test — a fast way to break a stuck decision when both choices look equally good The Chinese farmer parable, and why "maybe yes, maybe no" is one of the most freeing things you can tell yourself The line from an oncology doctor that can change how you face anything uncertain in your future The Therapist's Take: my top three strategies for making decisions and living with uncertainty, starting today Related Episodes 60 — Face Fear and Embrace Uncertainty So You Can Live a Good Life with Best-Selling Author Jonathan Fields 321 — How to Use Constraints to Spark Better Ideas, Make Faster Decisions, and Live With Less Regret With Bestselling Author David Epstein Links & Resources How to Not Know Connect with the Show Buy a copy of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do Connect with Amy on Instagram — @AmyMorinAuthor Visit my website — AmyMorinLCSW.com Sponsors Helix Sleep —Go to helixsleep.com/STRONGER to get 20% off sitewide AirDoctor — Head to AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code STRONGER to get UP TO $300 off today!
