Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Chad Hufford, founder and lead advisor, Veritas Wealth Management. He highlights how embracing failure as experimentation, focusing on intentional choices, and building life by design, not by default, can lead to real, lasting success and fulfillment.   In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of early role models. Examine who influenced you most in childhood and what values or lessons they modeled. Understanding these roots helps clarify the foundation for your present decisions and leadership style, guiding you toward more authentic, intentional living. Build resilience through stepping into the unknown. Consider experiences that pushed you out of your comfort zone, as Chad's Alaskan upbringing did for him. Cultivating tolerance for uncertainty sharpens your adaptability and prepares you for difficult leadership decisions, which is key for navigating change and adversity. Use blueprints as flexible guides. Develop clear strategies and plans (your “blueprint”), but remain open to adapting as circumstances shift. This approach keeps you proactive but nimble, allowing you to celebrate progress rather than judge imperfection—making goal achievement less overwhelming and more rewarding. Celebrate controllable actions over uncontrollable outcomes. Focus your efforts on the daily choices you can influence instead of external results like market trends or other people's behavior. This shift builds a sense of agency, boosts motivation, and creates sustainable progress toward long-term goals. Claim the driver's seat in your life. Acknowledge where you've been passive or reactive, and commit to making decisions that align with your values and vision. This empowers you to move from feeling stuck or at the mercy of circumstance to actively shaping your own fulfillment and success. Focus on mindset to create lasting change. Prioritize internal shifts in thinking and resilience, as Chad's book emphasizes, rather than just external “how-tos.” Cultivating an abundant and intentional mindset makes every step toward growth—financial or personal—feel more meaningful and achievable.   RESOURCES: Guest Bio Chad Hufford, a lifelong Alaskan, is a financial advisor, speaker, and bestselling author of “Forging Financial Freedom”.

There are very few who value authenticity. They might give it lip service and wave the word around without actually living it. When I was growing up I wanted to be myself, which I noticed quickly that no one really wanted. Why? Because they are afraid to be seen, and afraid to see. Programming trains us to be rewarded for putting on the “correct” face and attitude, to say and do the “right” things to get love and approval. And then there are the Rebels that are more immune to wanting that reward. But they might err on the side of looking for disapproval, which is the same shadow as looking for approval.In this King Hero interview, join us for a conversation with the hosts of “Here for the Truth” podcast, Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos Stilianessis, to talk about the fine art of being real in a world that doesn't value that. We will talk about the nuances of authenticity, honesty, and honour, and look closely at where people go sideways.Find them and their podcast at:www.hereforthetruth.com Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos Stilianessis are truth-seekers, coaches, and educators committed to helping others break through illusion, live with authenticity, and take ownership of their lives. They are the co-hosts of the Here For The Truth podcast, the co-creators of Rise Above The Herd—a psycho-spiritual journey into deeper self-knowledge, courageous action, and living in alignment with your deepest truth—and the co-founders of Friends of the Truth, a private membership community for grounded and discerning individuals dedicated to authentic growth.Blending sharp philosophy, psychology, and unfiltered honesty, Joel brings a creative edge as a writer and conscious hip-hop artist, challenging conditioned narratives and inspiring radical self-responsibility.

And I went from dying to living practically overnight.Today I help people who love the truth more than their beliefs, and who want to serve with their life's work and be on their Hero's Journey, to de-program the beast system and stop making it easy for those trying to kill us.I host regular King Hero interviews highlighting leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom.

On this episode, No One Is Coming to Save You and That's Not a Bad Thing,  Benjamin shares a bold and honest wake-up call for anyone waiting on permission, rescue, or the perfect moment. In this episode. He dives deep into what it means to take radical ownership of your life. You'll learn how to stop waiting and start leading - yourself, your family, your calling. Blending powerful biblical wisdom, raw personal truth, and practical strategies, this episode will challenge you to rise from passivity, break free from excuses, and step into the God-given authority you already carry. It's not about who's coming to save you - it's about who you're becoming.Episode Quote: "That rescue fantasy is killing your progress and crippling your calling.  A life of faith has always been a partnership. God doing what only he can do while you do everything you can do with everything he has already given you. Sometimes we're praying for deliverance, but God is waiting for movement. You've been asking for a breakthrough, but heaven is waiting on you to take the next step. For many of you, it's not a lack of clarity—it's a lack of courage. You already know what needs to change. You feel the pull. You've heard the whisper. Now it's time to move."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

In this second installment of our two-part conversation, Adam Skandarani returns to explore one of the most nuanced and vital topics in our industry: the intersection of art, science, and culture in animal training. Blending professional insight, lived experience, and thoughtful introspection, Adam and Ryan unpack the complexities that arise when training mechanics meet real-world messiness—where logical reasoning, cultural norms, and individual values can shape how training is practiced, received, and understood. Together, we explore: ✅ The difference between applying science and embodying artistry in training ✅ How “cultural fogs” impact both client beliefs and trainer behaviors ✅ Why critical thinking and curiosity are essential tools of the trade ✅ Practical examples of shaping, splitting, and preparing for real-world success ✅ How to hold multiple truths at once—and communicate them with care ✅ The role of social media in shaping modern training discourse ✅ Adam's vision for a future guided by understanding, welfare, and curiosity From skill-building to introspection, from koalas to kickback stands, this episode is a deep dive into what it means to be more than “just” a dog trainer. It's about becoming an effective, empathetic, and artful practitioner—for all species, including our own.

Blending isn't a quick Brady-Bunch mash-up—it can take four to five years to truly come together, and you've gotta parent each kid the way that kid needs. Unrealistic “one big happy family” expectations set us up; real life is messy and rarely perfect. Carrie and Meg dig into honoring the role of bio parents (“I'll never replace your dad”) while still showing up big—emotionally, financially, equally—for all the kids. Keeping communication tight (nightly debriefs, color-coded family boards, group chats) helps a busy house stay sane. And don't toss the history—protect old one-on-one bonds even as you build new traditions together.   Tune in for laughs, girl chat and simple, tangible advice with your besties because we always have your back!

War remains the most chaotic and destructive act our species is capable of. In addition to waging war against those we disagree with, we also battle with which beliefs about war are superior to alternatives. We make war with ideas, beliefs, and mindsets along with bullets, bombs, and missiles. The tactics and technologies matter, but only if societies can also realize the limitations of their strategic, organizational, and societal frameworks on defining and engaging in organized violence.Ben Zweibelson presents an entirely disruptive and groundbreaking way to make sense of conflict at a meta-theoretical level. Blending philosophy and sociology, he provides a challenging synthesis of multiple war paradigms, from technological, Westphalian frames of Western industrialized societies to those under Marxist versions, and radical ideological movements and sects. Readers interested in philosophy, political science, security affairs, and foreign policy will find this book highly informative and provocative. In this book, those waging internationally sanctioned warfare clash with proponents of ‘wokefare', radical terrorists and doomsday cults battle with totalitarian regimes, and more.Reconceptualizing War (Helion & Company, 2025) attempts what no previous book on war has done, in that each war theory remains grounded in one dominant war paradigm. Zweibelson takes readers on a mind-bending intellectual journey where all war paradigms are explained, contrasted, and overlapped so that greater understanding of our species' perpetual fascination with conflict is achieved.Dr. Ben Zweibelson has over three decades of service to the U.S. Department of Defense, retiring as an Infantry Officer with 22 years combined service, multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and awarded four Bronze Stars. Author of two other books, 'Understanding the Military Design Movement' (Routledge, 2023) and 'Beyond the Pale' (Air University Press, 2023), Ben lectures at numerous war colleges and universities around the world. He holds a doctorate in philosophy, has three master's degrees, and graduated U.S. Army Ranger School among numerous other demanding military courses. Ben resides in Colorado Springs with his wife and three boys.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

Fergus Sweetland is a Melbourne-born, London-based artist known for his wonky, wobbly, and rhythm-driven take on contemporary techno. Blending texture, atmosphere, and groove, his music crafts immersive narratives that tap into instinct and emotion. His DJ sets echo the same spirit—dynamic, playful, and always evolving. A core member of the Hayes Collective, Fergus has released on respected labels such as Illegal Alien, NRBK, Connection Verified, and his own imprint, Pressure Systems. The label reflects his belief that sound is pressure, and music is its system—a platform for total creative freedom and raw self-expression. This mix was recorded in July 2025 at The Glove That Fits as the closing set for Fossil Archive. The concept was to present an album in the context of a DJ set - something I'd been wanting to explore for a while. For this first attempt, I chose Spread by Heiko Laux.

War remains the most chaotic and destructive act our species is capable of. In addition to waging war against those we disagree with, we also battle with which beliefs about war are superior to alternatives. We make war with ideas, beliefs, and mindsets along with bullets, bombs, and missiles. The tactics and technologies matter, but only if societies can also realize the limitations of their strategic, organizational, and societal frameworks on defining and engaging in organized violence.Ben Zweibelson presents an entirely disruptive and groundbreaking way to make sense of conflict at a meta-theoretical level. Blending philosophy and sociology, he provides a challenging synthesis of multiple war paradigms, from technological, Westphalian frames of Western industrialized societies to those under Marxist versions, and radical ideological movements and sects. Readers interested in philosophy, political science, security affairs, and foreign policy will find this book highly informative and provocative. In this book, those waging internationally sanctioned warfare clash with proponents of ‘wokefare', radical terrorists and doomsday cults battle with totalitarian regimes, and more.Reconceptualizing War (Helion & Company, 2025) attempts what no previous book on war has done, in that each war theory remains grounded in one dominant war paradigm. Zweibelson takes readers on a mind-bending intellectual journey where all war paradigms are explained, contrasted, and overlapped so that greater understanding of our species' perpetual fascination with conflict is achieved.Dr. Ben Zweibelson has over three decades of service to the U.S. Department of Defense, retiring as an Infantry Officer with 22 years combined service, multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and awarded four Bronze Stars.

Welcome to the show. Today, we're joined by Paul Robinson, a self-taught photographer who began his career in Paris shooting fashion and celebrities. Paul's work, which has been described as blending story and image, has evolved from classic single-frame photography to a focus on abstract, narrative-driven visuals. He's a true creative who has photographed cultural icons like B.B. King. Paul's passion for storytelling and empowering new artists led him to found the NEFTI short film competition, a global initiative to support underrepresented filmmakers in emerging economies. We'll be talking to Paul about his journey, his unique approach to visual art and filmmaking, and the inspiring work he's doing with NEFTI. Stay tuned.In this episode, we sit down with artist and photographer Paul Robinson to discuss his creative journey and work.From Fashion to Abstract: Paul shares how he transitioned from traditional fashion and celebrity photography to his current focus on abstract, narrative-driven visuals. He explains that he always loved the drama and storytelling in art, and felt limited by a single frame. This led him to experiment with multiple exposures on film, a process he calls "In Camera". This process involves layering several images onto one frame of film, with some images taking up to a year to complete. You can see this series on his website, paulrobinsonart.com.The Art of Collaboration: Paul discusses his approach to working with famous artists, emphasizing the importance of a collaboration between artists where you are "able to see what that person is about in the final image". He cites his long-standing working relationships with actors like Jennifer Tilly and David Arquette as examples of how these collaborations can lead to ongoing creative partnerships.Filmmaking and Visual Arts: For Paul, visual arts and filmmaking are very similar, both centered on storytelling. He approaches both by first writing a story to guide his vision. His love for raw, real, and intense drama, often found in French and British films, is a key influence on his storytelling.NEFTI Short Film Competition: Paul's desire to "give back in the arts" led him to found the NEFTI competition, which provides underrepresented filmmakers in emerging economies with the financing, mentorship, and a platform to share their voices. He's currently in South Africa at the Durban FilmMart for the seventh NEFTI competition. He recounts a story of a past winner who was featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter, highlighting the impact NEFTI has on participants. He also explains that a new initiative for the competition is to make a film in just three days with a skeleton crew. Panavision, a company that also donated equipment to Paul's first short film over 30 years ago, has donated all the camera and grip equipment to the NEFTI filmmakers.Creative Advice: Paul's advice to emerging artists is to "have no fear" and to create something every day. He believes that consistent creativity makes you a more prolific and comfortable artist.Website Links:NEFTI https://nefticompetition.comPaul Robinson https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-robinson-11311328/Use Promo Code "FILMMAKINGSWABY" for all my deals or just click the link:25% Off More Labshttps://www.morelabs.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY20% Off Strong Coffee Companyhttps://strongcoffeecompany.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY15% Off Tusslehttps://www.tusslegear.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY20% Off Eric Javitshttps://ericjavits.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY25% Off Quantum Energy Squarehttps://quantumsquares.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY20% Off Long Tablehttps://longtablepancakes.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY20% Off HyperNaturalhttps://hypernaturalstyle.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY20% Off wearplaygroundhttps://wearplayground.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY15% Off STAND+https://www.standshoes.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY10% Off Molly Bzhttps://mollybz.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY41% Off Cozy Earthhttps://cozyearth.com/discount/FILMMAKINGSWABY

Tonight, we dive into a dystopian nightmare with Leeshai Lemish, a Shen Yun host who survived arrest and brutality in Tiananmen Square. From survivor testimonies to the Kilgour-Matas Report, we explore evidence of this medical genocide and the Chinese Communist Party's global sabotage of Shen Yun's mission to expose it. GUEST: Leeshai Lemish, Shen Yun Performing Arts' charismatic host, is a relentless advocate for truth. With degrees in Chinese history and international relations, he's exposed the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong since 1999, including forced organ harvesting. Arrested and beaten in Tiananmen Square, he's testified before Congress, documented CCP sabotage, and hosts Shen Yun Voices to amplify survivors' stories. Blending artistry with activism, Leeshai champions cultural revival while confronting a global superpower's atrocities, undeterred by death threats and repression.

If you've ever felt like traditional talk therapy or medication wasn't enough, this episode offers a new perspective. Greg and Michael reveal why many people stay stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or chronic pain despite doing “everything right.” They share the science and spirit behind their embodied recovery model, how breathwork like Sundo rewires the nervous system, and why emotional healing must be felt in the body—not just thought about. They even guide listeners through a powerful live energy practice. Whether you're navigating mental health struggles or simply seeking more presence in a chaotic world, this episode invites you to reconnect with your inner rhythm. About the Guests:Greg Vost and Michael Nolan are the founders of Embodied Recovery, a cutting-edge treatment center in Silicon Valley. Blending ancient wisdom, modern psychology, 12-step recovery, and the breathwork lineage of Sundo, they offer a holistic path to healing that moves beyond symptom management into embodied transformation. Key Takeaways: The nervous system is the foundation of emotional and physical health. If dysregulated, it can manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, or emotional reactivity. Healing is not just about talking—it requires embodied practices that shift how we feel and act, not just what we think. The breath is a powerful mirror of the mind. Developing a breath practice like Sundo cultivates calm, clarity, and resilience. Embodied Recovery blends daily breath practice, somatic awareness, 12-step support, and emotional unwinding to help people find lasting transformation. Emotional healing is not secondary to physical healing. Chronic emotional stress does show up in the body—and often drives illness or pain. Even a simple practice like mindful tapping and breath can awaken your energetic awareness and begin the healing journey from within. Healing doesn't happen overnight. It's a consistent relationship with self—built through gentle awareness, presence, and practice.

Leah Garcia is the Founder & CEO of NULASTIN®, the first beauty brand to commercialize elastin-based haircare. With a background as a professional athlete and award-winning media personality, Leah brings a performance mindset to DTC brand building, combining storytelling, product innovation, and operational grit.Before launching NULASTIN, Leah built a successful career in broadcast journalism and sports media, covering professional bull riding for CBS and competing internationally in mountain biking. That same tenacity shows up in how she scaled NULASTIN to $17.5M in revenue before hiring her first employee, bootstrapping the brand through direct response marketing, Indiegogo campaigns, and scrappy user-generated content.Leah shares why she shifted from a crowded skincare category to focus on brows and lashes, how “less polished” creative outperformed high-production assets, and why authenticity still drives her best-performing ads. She also breaks down her product development process, the metrics she tracks most closely, and how she's approaching influencer and affiliate marketing now that the brand has scaled.Whether she's explaining why awkward websites sometimes convert better or why prestige branding can alienate loyal buyers, Leah offers a no-BS look at building a beauty brand that lasts without relying on glossy tactics or VC backing.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:43] Intro[01:20] Launching niche beauty products with clear focus[02:00] Identifying a personal need in the market[03:20] Investing early in a science-backed idea[04:30] Taking control after early business loss[05:36] Accepting risk when investing your own money[06:53] Bootstrapping with decks, debt, and side hustles[09:22] Trusting instinct over validation frameworks[10:38] Learning from regulatory arrogance[12:55] Leveraging infomercial skills for DTC[14:46] Episode Sponsors: Electric Eye, Heatmap & Zamp[18:43] Focusing early on user generated content[20:42] Understanding the tradeoffs of premium branding[22:30] Selling before customers hit the website[23:20] Learning from infomercial-driven growth[27:29] Blending legacy service with modern techResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeElastin-based hair and skincare nulastin.com/Follow Leah Garcia linkedin.com/in/leah-garcia-592988Schedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectClear, real-time data built for ecommerce optimization heatmap.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Isle of Raasay Distillery (Isle of Raasay, Scotland) WF0065 Returning to Scotland to visit one of my favorite young distilleries.

Today we are joined by César Brioso, author of the book Last Seasons in Havana: The Castro Revolution and the End of Professional Baseball In Cuba (University of Nebraska Press, 2019). Blending the love for baseball fans in Cuba had during the 1950s with the political upheaval that led to Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1959, Brioso weaves a fascinating tale. Brioso focuses on the last two seasons of the Havana Sugar Kings of the International League (1958-1959) and the last three seasons of the Cuban League (1958-1961). In the 1950s, Havana was a city teeming with rabid baseball fans, swanky hotels, luxurious casinos, and warm, tropical weather. Influential baseball men in Cuba like Bobby Maduro believed Havana was on the short list to earn a major league franchise when baseball expanded. But what happened politically signaled the death knell for those dreams. Castro may have been a big sports fan, but political events in Cuba would take “a sinister turn” as he and the Communists in his regime tightened their grip on the Caribbean island. Brioso's extensive research, plus more than 20 interviews with former players, Maduro's son, and even a man who spent a year as the batboy for the transplanted Sugar Kings in Jersey City, New Jersey, gives the reader a unique perspective about Cuba. Former major leaguers interviewed included Orlando Peña, Pedro Ramos, Cookie Rojas and Luis Tiant. Bob D'Angelo was a sports journalist and sports copy editor for more than three decades and is currently a digital national content editor for Cox Media Group. He received his master's degree in history from Southern New Hampshire University in May 2018. He is the author of Never Fear: The Life & Times of Forest K. Ferguson Jr. (2015), reviews books on his blog, Bob D'Angelo's Books & Blogs, and has reviewed books for Sport  In American History. Can be reached at bdangelo57@gmail.com.
