I think it is bad to judge yourself for being jealous and not actually taking a moment to know why. What about that thing is making me have the grass is greener?Lesley Logan 0:11  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:54  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the insightful convo I had with Jamie Lerner in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now and go back and listen to that one, and then come back and join us, or you can just listen all the way through and then just let your podcast play that one. Brad Crowell 1:11  You can start at episode one. We're only 740 in right now.Lesley Logan 1:15  I know. I mean, so many. It's so many. Today is October 1st 2026. It is ADHD Awareness Month, and you are listening to two ADHD hosts. By the way, just so you know, when we record these, the Adderall is worn off, so.Brad Crowell 1:29  That's also true.Lesley Logan 1:30  It's all we don't ever record when we are medicated. So because that would be that would make too much sense. But ADHD Awareness Month shines a light on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder throughout October. This vital observance, spearheaded by organizations like Attention Deficit Disorder Association, aims to educate the public, reduce stigma, and champion effective treatments. Join the conversation, share resources, and support those navigating life with ADHD. I just want to tell you guys, it's not like a trend to go get diagnosed. If you think that you that's what's going on with you. You should do it because there are really great tools and systems that you can use. You don't have to take Adderall. There's other options. There's other systems you could put in place. But it has been really quite helpful to understand what's ADHD and what's just tired and what's whatever. And oh, I'm going on a dopamine high. Let's adopt a dog. You know, decisions like that. But I highly recommend it. And then the other thing I just want to add is I listened to this really wonderful clip where this woman said that the title ADHD is not really the best because it's what it is is it's a regulation disorder. People with ADHD have a hard time regulating in general. So like we go on highs and lows and highs and lows because it's really hard to regulate. I really like the example of you know those of you who listen to the podcast. Most of you understand, in the 80s and 90s there were those pens that had red, green, black, blue, right?Brad Crowell 2:50  Sure.Lesley Logan 2:51  So a neurotypical person will think red, click red, use red, finish the red, right? A neurodivergent person. Brad Crowell 3:00  Is that what they'll do?Lesley Logan 3:00  Yeah, a neurodivergent person with ADHD will go. I had five ideas, all five pen, all five colors at the same time. That's how their brain works. And I thought that if you don't understand what that's like, you that I think it's a good visual. So, anyways, if you hear chewing in the background, that's Darla, and we're gonna let her do it because it keeps her busy, otherwise. Brad Crowell 3:19  That's her ADHD (inaudible) also, too, my understanding is that ADHD presents itself slightly differently between men and women, and it's really coming out strong as. Lesley Logan 3:34  The largest number of women are going through perimenopause at the same time.Brad Crowell 3:37  Yes, that is the point I was ultimately trying to eloquently get to, that I am not a woman to be able to say that, but that's happening right now, and so it might be that you have ADHD undiagnosed and don't know it. And if you're thinking, "Oh my god, I can't fucking think anymore, maybe it's because of this, and it's worth going to talk to someone about it. We did, and it was hilarious. Lesley's already told the story, but in five minutes, the psychiatrist was, "Yeah, you have ADHD. I'm giving you boom. You know, you're good. Let's go.Lesley Logan 4:10  And Brad and I did.Brad Crowell 4:11  I had to do a friggin' test.Lesley Logan 4:12  You did all the tests. I was. I don't have time for these tests.Brad Crowell 4:16  I had to go do a whole computer exam and the whole nine. I mean, I'm glad I did, but also I was. I gotta go all the way back out here to this place. I mean it's like 20 minutes away, but it felt like forever. Anyway, I'm very happy that I am formally diagnosed, and it has been interesting to to be taking medication for something like this because I I just always assumed that I was just getting older and my brain wasn't working the way that it used to, and that's true, I think. But also, I wonder. I don't know. I felt very productive and you know cogent when I was younger, and then things just started to slip away for me, and I just associated that with all the things that happened in my life and. Lesley Logan 4:55  Maybe you're going through perimenopause.Brad Crowell 4:56  Yeah, I must be. I mean, I think I think that's it.Brad Crowell 5:00  That's the conclusion. I don't even know how I didn't come to that conclusion. Lesley Logan 5:02  You know what I will say is the psychiatrist was really thoughtful. She said, "Look, she says what you'll have to understand about yourself is it's you versus the ADHD, and if you can really understand what's me and what's ADHD, it will really help you. As is a child where my ADHD was fully showing up, and people, oh, you're just not applying yourself. Oh, you're just being you're procrastinating. Oh, this, and so really, I'll be completely honest. I actually had a moment of being fucking pissed off because I think my life would be completely different had someone just diagnosed me earlier. Instead, I went my whole life masking, and then I got to a place where my hormones weren't helping me mask anymore, and I was tired of masking. And then I was just a fucking cunt. I was just mean. I was irritable. And now, when I am taking the medication and I'm focused and I'm irritable, I actually know that I am actually irritated. Versus, oh, this is just my. I'm tired. My brain is not able to operate, which means watch the fuck out because now I know.Brad Crowell 6:03  Now we know.Lesley Logan 6:04  Now we know. Now we know. And I'm a January Aquarius, and so some of it is we're tired. We're ready. We're moving on. Anyways, moving on. There's a lot of a lot of events and travel. So upLift is our teacher training program. You probably have heard the rumor. It's been something they've been whispering about. But my teacher training program for new teachers or partially trained teachers is called upLift, and it is going to start early next year in many different cities. If you want to know which cities that are going to be in.Brad Crowell 6:27  Probably around the world, in fact.Lesley Logan 6:29  That's our goal. That's our goal. At the time we're recording this, I'm looking at the applications right now, and I have some really epic educators that have applied that I'm really excited about. We're working really hard to make sure that next year is the right time for them, but you want to go to xxll.co/uws xxll.co/uws. If you are what are what is this all. Brad Crowell 6:51  That's for upLift waitlistLesley Logan 6:53  studentBrad Crowell 6:54  studentLesley Logan 6:54  and you can blame Brad. So go there because I'm updating that waitlist monthly, and those are the people the people who will hear about the locations first. You won't have to wait for the Instagram algorithm to show you something. eLevate is for those who are already trained and you're looking for more of a master's program to study amongst other teachers, and you want to directly study with me. You can look at our live Q and A call that we did earlier this summer. I guess it's at lesleylogan.co/elevate. I will just tell you, we're recording this not when you're hearing it, and at the time of recording, there are two spots left in 2028, and 10 applications that at any time someone could go, yes, I'm ready, but don't let that stop you. Check it out. See, you might get the last spot if that's what you're looking for. Also, eLevate grads are the people who right now can apply to be an upLift educator. So if you were oh I want to be one of those educators, you must have gone through upLift at this time. So check that out. The flashcards. If you didn't know, maybe you love OPC or you're not ready to be an OPC member yet, but you are wanting to study with me, and like the other options are just not what you need right now. You can be a Pilates lover of any level. You can be a teacher of any background. And when you buy the OPC flashcards, you're actually supporting the Nevada SPCA, which is where we got Miss Darla. Go to opc.me/flashcards. We have six decks in there in the set, and they're wonderful. And they're edited by a contemporary trained instructor with contemporary equipment, and they are edited by my sister-in-law, who's never done Pilates. So anyone can read them. And then we have heard so many times people don't know where the posters are. Go to opc.me/posters. Okay, wow, this is a lot of talking. Really quickly, we are headed to Sacramento literally next week, and it's sold out. So you, too bad, so sad. You missed. If you don't have a ticket, you're. We're not seeing you there.Brad Crowell 8:36  Sacramento because Balanced Body is having a Pilates On Tour. It's also their 50th anniversary celebration.Lesley Logan 8:41  You can hang out with me at another 50th celebration, but stay tuned for that. We are going to go from Sacramento by another train to San Francisco. I think this sounds like a terrible idea, but this is what we're doing to fly to Cambodia to lead our retreat. And it was definitely an ADHD planned moment, and now we're going to live it.Brad Crowell 9:00  Oh we're living it.Lesley Logan 9:01  We're living it. Just thinking about the return trip home. So here's the deal, guys. We're driving to Sacramento with the van.Brad Crowell 9:07  Which is nine and a half hours.Lesley Logan 9:08  Nine and a half hours. Okay, sounds fun because it's so much easier than shipping the flashcards. It costs us so much fucking money to do that. Brad Crowell 9:15  It's also trying to get the van at the event.Lesley Logan 9:18  Yeah, but it's not gonna. Brad Crowell 9:21  We're gonna park that right out front. We're we're putting that in they're gonna they're gonna valet park that sucker right in front of the entrance.Lesley Logan 9:28  I know Brad's gonna figure that out because the event is not at their headquarters. Brad Crowell 9:31  No, it's at the Hyatt or something. Lesley Logan 9:32  It's like a thing, right? Yeah. So, anyways, I'll let you figure that out because I that's not my monkey, not my circus. Then we'll be at the event. Then we're gonna park that van at Ken Endelman's house, supposedly, which we have no idea where that is in regards to the Amtrak. We have to take an Amtrak. Hopefully, there's one left. We take the Amtrak to a BART before the BART shut down on a Sunday night. From the BART to our hotel, and then the next morning we fly out of San Francisco. Part of me is just throw money at this problem and park the van somewhere in San Francisco, but it's San Francisco, and I'm a little worried someone's going to move in. So we're not doing that. Not doing that. So, then. Brad Crowell 10:08  No, if we're going to throw money at the problem, we're hiring a private driver from Sacramento.Lesley Logan 10:11  That's a great idea. But here's what's going to happen: we return back, and we have to do the reverse trip, you guys, we have to go BART to Amtrak, Amtrak to the van, and then a nine and a half hour drive home. And this is the part that I don't think my husband has thought through. So you're hearing it first here. I think he is too. So if you want to go to Cambodia next year, when we're not doing planes, trains, and automobiles, you can get on the wait list. I don't know the link for that. Brad will tell you.Brad Crowell 10:39  crowsnestretreats.comLesley Logan 10:41  Great. January is when we'll open up the early bird. We have so many people interested in 2027. I promise you do not want to wait. Brad Crowell 10:48  We had a lot of interest, especially from this summer tour that we just got back from. A lot of interest, and I'm telling you, this past year's trip sold out in three weeks, and I'm sure this one is going to do the same or even faster.Lesley Logan 11:02  Yeah. Then in November, I'm teaching at basically a Pilates On Tour, but in China, outside of Shanghai, I can't tell you how you're going to sign up for that. But I feel I feel like if you Google it, it will happen. They are not. They've not sent me a link for you. So, but people are excited.Brad Crowell 11:17  You can find it online.Lesley Logan 11:18  I'm sure you can. I'm sure you're all here. I'm sure you can all Google, but then because I'm a crazy person, I'm gonna go back to Asia two weeks later to teach at Pilates On Tour Goa.Brad Crowell 11:30  Which is India.Lesley Logan 11:31  Yeah, it is India. I think people know Goa. It looks stunning, you guys. And this particular POT, it's the last one of the 50th year celebration, and when you, it's very different because we all have lunch together. It's more like a retreat style. You are there for the whole event. You are going to go to Instagram Pilates On Tour India, and you can sign up through there because.  Brad Crowell 11:54  It's not on the POT page. It's not on Balanced Body's website.Lesley Logan 11:57  I mean, you know what? It might be.Brad Crowell 11:58  It is. It's xxll.co/potLesley Logan 12:00  Okay, do that. What do I know? I'm just the. Brad Crowell 12:02  I'm sure it's on there.Lesley Logan 12:03  You guys, today is October 1st, which means the tickets drop today for the winter tour. So do not miss out. Go to opc.me/tour because.Brad Crowell 12:12  By the way, if you didn't hear what she just said, the winter tour tickets have just dropped today.Lesley Logan 12:19  Today, today, today, and we, it's going to be a very big tour. I'm actually flying from Goa to Denver, which doesn't make any sense now that I know the route. I'm coming through Europe, so I probably should have met you in New York. Brad Crowell 12:34  Yeah, we're not. We're not doing that. You're coming as close to home as possible, but yeah, we're going to pick her up in in in Denver, and then go from there. But it's exciting to see the route is coming together. We're almost done. I can tell you the first half of the tour is going to take us from we're going to do Fort Collins or just south. There's a smaller town just south of Fort Collins. That's going to be the first tour stop. It's going to go up. There's a couple of stops on the way to Chicago, and there's a bunch more stops on the way to Boston, and then we're gonna scoop back around through New York and then Hershey, we're coming back to you.Lesley Logan 13:06  We love Hershey. You love us. Brad Crowell 13:09  Then we're going down East Coast, but we're gonna cut over to Charlotte, North Carolina, and then we're gonna make our way down to Florida and then back across the country. So those are still TBD. We're working out the-the logistics and all the things. Lesley Logan 13:22  By the time you're hearing this, it's worked out.Brad Crowell 13:24  Oh yeah, it's worked out. Just go to OPC.me/tour. What am I talking about?Lesley Logan 13:27  We're actually just recording this in the past.Brad Crowell 13:30  Yeah.Lesley Logan 13:31  Before it has been because that's how we do life. Okay, we got to move on.Brad Crowell 13:34  Let's go. Let's go.Lesley Logan 13:35  So real quick, you guys, as you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we wanted to spotlight a a project that we actually know the founder of very well. We know Pilates instructors who are part of it. So it's a nonprofit built by the Pilates community, founded in 2012 by Pilates instructor Jill Hinson after she saw firsthand how quickly Reformer work helped two clients recover from breast cancer surgery to regain their strength and mobility. So it's the Core Compassion Project, and realized that most people who could benefit from Pilates couldn't afford it. So, especially when they're going through cancer treatment. So, Core Compassion provides Pilate scholarships to breast cancer patients and survivors. $700 funds 10 private one-on-one sessions with a certified instructor who's specifically trained in post-cancer rehab, which is very important. You can't just show up to any Pilates studio and expect them to be able to support you during this journey, you definitely want someone who understands because they'll probably need what they can also provide is free specialized fitness bras and lymphedema compression sleeves, and then things which are things like survivors are needing, but the insurance doesn't cover most times. Doesn't cover a lot of things anymore. It's 100% volunteer run with a board that includes past scholarship recipients, and every October they rally the Pilates community together through their Compassion MATraiser, where studios and teachers host donation-based classes to fund the mission. If you are a Pilates person listening to this, and probably you are, this is your charity. So find more at corecompassionproject.org, or if you're just someone who wants to support women who are going through this and need this, it's at corecompassionproject.org. Obviously, if you don't have, you can also just supply $5. I mean, they'll take it, I'm sure. So, but $700 gets you gets that person 10 one-on-one sessions, which is really wonderful for someone who can understand what they're going through. So, anyways, if you have a charity you'd like us to look into, or you have a win that you want me to talk about on the FYFs, you can text us at 310-905-5534 or submit it at beitpod.com/questions. Yeah, okay, we're ready to talk about Jamie Lerner, finally.Brad Crowell 15:32  Woo!Brad Crowell 15:34  Welcome back. Let's talk about Jamie Lerner. Jamie is a well-being therapist and an author. She helps people get from where they are to where they want to be. After years as a psychotherapist, Jamie realized that having people look back at their past was not helping them move forward. Instead, it was becoming the very excuse that kept them stuck. So she walked away and looked within, discovering that her superpower was her own inner knowing about her own life, and she was trying to figure out how to explain that to others, how they can get back to that themselves. So today, she teaches people to trust themselves, take personal responsibility, and get lovingly curious about their own inner being. So, she wrote a book. It's called The Ever Loving Essence of You. You can find it on Amazon. She also has a service called The Quickie, which is her texting service where you can buy a package of time and text back and forth with her. Those links are going to be in the show notes. But she clearly has been through the psychotherapy couch sessions and was I'm over this myself. I'm I'm going to help people in a different way. It was really cool.Lesley Logan 16:38  I can't even imagine because I have to be honest. I can't even have friends who repeat themselves and stick get stuck. Like it really, it takes everything in me to listen to someone complain about the same thing for the third time. I cannot. So I could not ever have that job. And she said we we often live in a this victim mentality, and that society actively rewards women for being the victim by putting ourselves last and being overworked, and so it's true because everyone just wears the busy badge, right? I've got the busy badge of honor over here, and look how busy I am, look how tired I am, and look at all the things that I've done. And then guess what, you guys? Let's guess what they're gonna do. When you fail, then they're gonna call you controlling, emotional, emotional perfectionist, some control freak. So you can't win, but it's a false belief that all these other things are more important than our own well-being, and we use, she said, we use being busy as an excuse, choosing to hide behind it simply because we do not know how to include ourselves in self-care, and I think this is really key because I meet so many people who say, well, so it must be so nice for you because you have the time. You don't have kids, so you must have the time. You're right. I don't have kids. I don't have kids. We have two dogs, so I don't. They're not the same. But also, we're very busy. We have three companies plus a fourth in a different country. We have hundreds of members. We have dozens of people on our team. We have a different version of responsibilities. And if I do not take care of myself, I am not going to be able to do these things.Brad Crowell 18:06  Yeah, we we have a different definition of busy, and it doesn't involve you know kids and soccer games.Lesley Logan 18:10  I would say different definition of responsibility. We have different responsibilities. So, but I.  Brad Crowell 18:15  I guess we have a we have the same we have we have the same I'm busy excuse, but just in a different manner.Lesley Logan 18:21  Yeah, but I also, but I really do think that she is correct that we went. Okay, this. Well, I'm glad that we're re-recording this. You guys, this is the second time we record this. We recorded this before tour, and now we're back from tour. And we were in a city. I will not name the city, but we were in a city, and it was, we walked into a restaurant, which, by the way, the team did not tell me that there's probably a dress code. So I walk in, in cutoff shorts and an oversized T-shirt, with my bright red platform Crocs, okay, so I look like hell, and it was definitely the Real Housewives of that city kind of a restaurant. And we got stuck next to this table of the Real Housewives from that city, and I, five minutes of eavesdropping to their table, and I was, "Brad, I fucking cannot. If this is what having friendships like this is supposed to be about in a city, thank God we don't have kids. I could not." All they did was talk about, oh, it was how's your mom, and then the only reason they would listen is if their mom was sick. Oh, how's your kid? If you talked about your kids doing great, they didn't know what to say, so then they said, "Oh, well, she's struggling with this. Oh my god, mine too. Everyone, the conversation only kept going, and you were only rewarded for what you said if it was all negative and you were a victim and something was wrong. My goodness, you know what my favorite conversations with my friends are, is what they celebrate. Oh, I slayed this. Yeah, I bet you did. I love those conversations. So, anyways, but that's how people are rewarded, and then they get rewarded for putting themselves last because they're definitely looked at badly if they put themselves first by those people. But I would say there's a whole group of people like me who are ready to celebrate you putting yourself first. So, and Jamie, that's what Jamie wants.Brad Crowell 19:58  And Jamie. Absolutely. One thing I loved that Jamie said was that we are all born with a knowing, which acts as like a natural internal compass. This is very foreign idea to me. I did not grow up with anyone explaining that I could look inwardly and I could understand what I'm feeling and if something is right or wrong for me. You know, it's just not how I was raised.Lesley Logan 20:22  So I wasn't raised that way, but I know I had this, and that's why I felt like a weirdo, and that's why I was getting like I would get in trouble because the inner knowing was the compass. I don't actually know where East and West is, but I know what felt good, and that what people were wanting me to do did not feel good. Yeah, I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know what I was doing, so I was just.Brad Crowell 20:39  I definitely wasn't a people-pleaser. I was definitely the rebel, and I did the rebel. Lesley Logan 20:44  Yeah, I would say you have an inner knowing. You wore ridiculous clothes every single day. Brad Crowell 20:48  Yeah, but it was a little bit of like an FU to the man in a sense, as a teenager.Lesley Logan 20:51  Yeah, because there's an inner knowing that you that you wanted to do that.Brad Crowell 20:53  I did want to do that, and I was I always looked out to see how I could stick a thorn in the side of the process without actually getting in trouble, yeah, that's how I rolled. I didn't really want to get in trouble, but I really wanted to cause trouble. Does that make sense? Lesley Logan 21:07  You just wanted to see how far you could do without being in trouble because you wanted to feel like you were breaking the rules without breaking the rules. Brad Crowell 21:13  Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, you know. But anyway, this inner knowing that Jamie's talking about, she explained because of the contrast of life, society trains us to look outside of ourselves for pretty much everything, right? I mean, the irony is that we have a podcast telling you to look inwardly, but I think that it is just natural for us to look outside of ourselves. Our our parents, our church, our work, our friends, our siblings-you know-we're constantly looking to others for approval, I was the same way, especially when I was younger.Lesley Logan 21:43  Oh, we're raised to look at other people for approval, especially women. But I'm sure you, too, because even the Boy Scouts are the troop leaders going to give you these badges. Did you do a good enough job? Everything is to get other people's opinions of you to matter, but that's not whose opinion matters.Brad Crowell 21:58  Yeah, and seeking that external validation causes us to lose the basic sense of can we even trust our own decisions? What do we actually want for us? We don't even know what we want for us most of the time. Well, especially when we were growing up, what we wanted for us was what our parents told us we wanted for us, and then and then like somewhere in there, we're supposed to be oh now I get to choose what I want for me, you know, and and and we don't shift. Oh, you know, we're still looking to.Lesley Logan 22:26  Well, you never got to practice it.Brad Crowell 22:28  Right. Yeah, and and her argument is it's very easy for us to get back to looking internally, and she says that there's a trust that gets built when you sit with yourself, and she was talking about it's not even complicated in the sense of this meditation idea that I could never wrap my head around. And she said, "You know, you don't need to do any anything like that. It could just be five minutes of silence drinking a cup of coffee, where you just have a moment of you with you.Lesley Logan 22:57  Oh my god! I forgot my AirPods yesterday on the dog walk.Brad Crowell 22:59  Weird. Lesley Logan 23:00  I know. I loved it.Brad Crowell 23:03  Oh, that was like an hour. Yeah. Well, good for you. Lesley Logan 23:06  I mean, here's the deal. I loved the first half, and then the second half, I was done with it myself because I'm in my head all day, you know. So I didn't need more time. But so I did listen to a podcast without headphones, and well, the neighbors get to listen to my my true crime. But the first half was just like such a nice. I could hear the birds and all the things, and I was. This is wonderful. Maybe I should just not put them in until halfway.Brad Crowell 23:28  I mean, I love that.Lesley Logan 23:29  It's a it's a good intention.Brad Crowell 23:31  There's value. There's value.Lesley Logan 23:32  I will say you don't even have to do that. Five minutes is actually not that long, and you you sit out on the front porch, you know, or you could walk around a block, or you could just walk across the street. But you should get outside and be quiet.Brad Crowell 23:46  So if you want a feeling of coming home to yourself, start to look inward and see what that means. You know?Lesley Logan 23:52  I'm all. Here's the thing: she does make it sound so simple in a way that I did challenge her. Is it really that simple? Hold on. Is there? I mean, I was Jamie, people aren't gonna think it's that simple, but I think we overcomplicate things, and people have overcomplicated things to sell you something. And she's, it's actually, it is actually simple. And I think sometimes we think, well, then it must not work. But I really did believe, I do, I do trust what she had to say at the end. You know what? I bet you it is that simple, and we just want it to be complicated because then we can't do it. Brad Crowell 24:24  Yeah, I mean, but what is it? You know, when you're, what does it mean to look inwardLesley Logan 24:29  To listen to yourself and not other people?Brad Crowell 24:31  Yeah.Lesley Logan 24:31  Oh gosh, I mean, I think it means that you. Well, this is what people won't want to do, and they feel like they're going to let people down because they're doing things for themselves and not for other people. But you, the only we can let people down is if you are actually incapable of being empathetic and loving and and taking and. Brad Crowell 24:47  No, that's not what I mean. What's the practice of looking inward? Lesley Logan 24:50  I think that's personal.Brad Crowell 24:52  Yeah, but we have to give them an actual tangible. Lesley Logan 24:55  Well, I think Jamie did it in in the podcast. I think it's in these takeaways.Brad Crowell 24:59  So I'm gonna tell you that sitting with yourself and actually not distracting yourself and having a moment to think, that's.Lesley Logan 25:10  Yeah, but I'm not gonna tell you right now because I'm looking ahead.Brad Crowell 25:12  All right, well stick around. We'll be right back. Because that was a great teaser.Brad Crowell 25:15  Woo! Welcome back. Let's dig into those Be It Action Items that we had with Jamie Lerner on the last episode, what bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from Lesley's convo with her? She said, "Hey, laugh when you judge others, because what that means is that we're actually judging ourselves because we're projecting. We are projecting, and you know, take it from a psychotherapist to understand the technical elements of all those things, she says it simply means we're just projecting how we feel about ourselves onto others because we're judging them. And what that means is we are not connected to ourselves. We are not looking inward on ourselves at all in that moment. And she said it takes a little bit of practice, but when you start to identify that you're judging others, you should laugh at yourself. So I thought that was really funny. Go laugh with yourself, not at yourself.Lesley Logan 26:07  Yeah, yeah. No, it's like, hahahaha, I clearly want that. Or there's something about that. How that's so funny. I didn't realize it's something I wanted, or that's something that there's something about that I desire. Or there's you know I actually don't think it's bad to be jealous, I think it is bad to judge yourself for being jealous and not actually taking a moment to know what about that thing is making me have the grass is greener? Oh, there's something about that that you want. Maybe not that exact thing, but there's an energy or an emotion or something. And so I think taking the time to notice what you're jealous of, or we have a couple solo episodes about comparison. I think just came out. Anyways, about comparison, and we compare ourselves when the clarity isn't clear about what we want. And when clarity is clear, you're gonna be more likely to see that someone else doing something has nothing to do with your ability to do something. But when you are comparing yourself to someone else, and that jealousy is there. Then it's a sign, like, "Oh, I'm not clear on what I want. How silly of me to be so hard on myself when I obviously haven't finished planning."Brad Crowell 27:11  Yeah, she said, "It's an observation of how often you're disconnected in any given moment, and the realization and laughter allows you to reconnect with yourself. So there's no time to judge yourself for judging others. But what about you?Lesley Logan 27:25  Well, this goes into the question you had about going inward. She said, and I'll go back to the other things that she said, set aside 10 minutes every day. That's not even a half a percent of your day. Set aside 10 minutes every day, or just little moments here and there to get tuned back into yourself. And she said, "You can sit quietly and notice how often we're unkind and cruel to ourselves in a way we would never speak to another person. And she said, "In this time, ask yourself questions that are lovingly curious. Oh, I wonder why I am so interested in what that person is doing, or I wonder why I'm so intrigued by that, or I wonder what would allow me to be able to do something like that. Have some loving curiosity about yourself instead of having demanding immediate solutions. Go of needing an answer and just asking is enough. We can go back to episode one.Brad Crowell 28:11  Wow.Lesley Logan 28:11  Episode one is about just being like it is. Brad Crowell 28:15  I wonder.Lesley Logan 28:16  I wonder. You know, and so, opening a loop in your brain, so that you can oh, yeah. I don't think they can read. It's really hard.Brad Crowell 28:25  It's hard.Lesley Logan 28:26  It's hard. Brad Crowell 28:27  If you're watching on YouTube, we are trying to. There's my 1/3 tattoo on my hand, and it's on for me to see, which makes it very difficult for you to see. So she said, practice this moment by moment, which I also love because.Brad Crowell 28:39  Wait, what did she say?Lesley Logan 28:40  She said, "Practice this moment by moment", and that's something I also love because we are so hard on ourselves to be able to do this all the time. No, you do little bits, and over time they add up to lots of bits, and then it takes more of your day. And she said, "Most important," she said, "Know yourself, love yourself, and trust yourself, and laugh a lot with yourself." And I do think I remember my parents always saying, "Laughter brings healing to the bones." Brad Crowell 29:05  It's the best medicine. Lesley Logan 29:07  It's the best medicine. It's a great core workout. So I couldn't agree more.Brad Crowell 29:10  That's what they said?Lesley Logan 29:11  Well, they didn't talk about the core workout, but I added that part. They would take a lesson, go, "Laughter brings healing to the bones."Brad Crowell 29:17  Wow. I don't think my parents did that.Lesley Logan 29:21  We had very different childhoods. Brad Crowell 29:23  They just tickle monster us.Lesley Logan 29:24  You you had a very consistent one. Mine was a little bit of a roller coaster.Brad Crowell 29:28  Healing to the bones.Lesley Logan 29:32  You know what's something so funny is I was in my Pilates session today, and my teacher Kim was talking to these other two women who were in the group, and they said they said something. He goes, "No, you're not weak. You're impatient." And I laughed so hard as, and they're like, "Oh, I have to put that on my wall. You're not weak. You're just impatient." Yeah, you guys are just expecting yourself to be good about something you just learned yesterday. You're not. It's not a weakness. It's like you're expecting something to happen tomorrow when you just learned how to do it yesterday. You know. So be kind. Have some loving curiosity.Brad Crowell 30:10  Yeah. 10 minutes will do that. Set aside.Lesley Logan 30:13  I'm Lesley Logan,Brad Crowell 30:13  and I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 30:14  You're amazing. Go send this to a friend as they hear it. Go laugh with yourself.

Tucked into 400 acres in the Pocono Mountains is a place where tens of thousands of people have come simply to sit quietly.The Himalayan Institute has called Honesdale, Pennsylvania, home for almost 50 years. What began with yoga and meditation has grown into a global nonprofit devoted to wellness, education, humanitarian service and the belief that people can reach their fullest potential.But what are all those people looking for?On this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau talks with Retreat Center Director Brian Fulp about the enduring appeal of a place that has spent decades inviting people to slow down and look inward.Brian takes us inside the Institute's Sri Vidya Shrine, a meditation hall intentionally left open for visitors to bring their own beliefs and practices. He talks about the Institute's roots, its humanitarian work around the world and the surprisingly entrepreneurial history that helped introduce the Neti Pot to millions of Americans.But Brian's own journey may say the most about the place.He discovered yoga as an 11-year-old Boy Scout in Indiana. As a teenager without money for classes, he asked if he could work in exchange for them. His teacher told him to take the classes and promise to pay the Institute back someday.Twenty-nine years later, Brian jokes that he is still working on it.What began as an interest in yoga became a life built around service, community and a place he says gave him something he had been missing: purpose.It is a conversation about what happens when we make room for stillness, what service can give back to the person doing it and why, after more than half a century, people continue to find their way to a quiet corner of the Poconos looking for something more.

In this episode of the Income Flip Podcast, Mark Miller, CEO of Hilton Tax and Wealth Advisors and director of the Hilton family office, shares his path from selling wholesale goods door to door as a Boy Scout and running painting companies through college, to building an international financial newsletter, founding multiple advisory firms, and eventually partnering with Bradley Hilton to lead the Hilton family's financial arm. Mark breaks down the moment that changed everything, getting hit with a multimillion-dollar tax bill and hiring a $2,000-an-hour advisor who saved him half a million dollars in year one alone. That experience pushed him to master advanced tax mitigation himself, and within a few years he reached the zero tax bracket and never paid taxes again. He now helps business owners apply the same family-office-level strategies the Hiltons use to build and protect generational wealth.

Thought Leaders Show: Legal Edition | Guest: Tamryn E. Valenzuela, Esq., the NJ Legacy LawyerTamryn Valenzuela grew up in a two-cop household in Jersey City and spent the better part of two decades on the criminal side of the law: civilian clerk for the Jersey City Police Department, the Hudson County prosecutor's office, six years with the public defender in Sussex County. In 2021, two things happened at once. She recognized a defendant in a Hudson County courtroom as the same man she'd been typing arrest reports on in 1997, and she was living through the aftermath of her father's death without a will. He had been her stepfather from infancy, and she had never once called him that while he was alive. After he died, one sibling made sure she was reminded, over and over, that legally he wasn't her father.In this conversation with Dr. Tamara Patzer, Tamryn explains why the fight was never about money (what she wanted was a t-shirt from his drawer that smelled like him), why 98 percent of families sit in her office and say “we all love each other,” and why the law makes it hard to honor even the clearest verbal wishes. She lays out the three documents every adult should have from their 18th birthday on, and why she puts the will last. She tells the story of a client who inherited an entire IRA because a sibling wasn't born yet when the beneficiary form was filled out, and now files a gift-tax return every year to split it. And she describes a 2026 case in which a child went months without health insurance after her father's death because no guardian was named, while four sets of loving relatives fought in court over who should raise her.Questions this episode answersWhy would a lawyer leave criminal law after twenty years for estate planning?What happens to a blended family when there's no will?Is a handwritten letter enough? Why do verbal wishes fail even when the family wants to honor them?What are the three documents every adult needs at 18, and what does each one actually do?Should a power of attorney take effect immediately or only on disability?Why does an out-of-date beneficiary form cause a gift-tax problem for the survivors?Why can an accident settlement sit for years when there's no executor?What happens to a minor child when no guardian is named in a will?Do you need a trust, or is a will enough?Why is estate planning not just for rich people?About Tamryn ValenzuelaTamryn E. Valenzuela, Esq. is Chair of the Trusts & Estates Practice Group at Laddey, Clark & Ryan LLP, with offices in Sparta, Morristown, and Phillipsburg, New Jersey. With more than two decades of legal experience, her practice covers estate planning, administration and litigation, guardianships, and long-term-care planning through individualized asset protection strategies.

We Shall Never Forget 9/11. We are remembering the events that happened on this day 25 years ago. Ella Langley has 7 nominations leading the way for the CMA Awards. We're learning this morning that Jamie met a guy on our vacation break and he wants to fly in and take her to a Bronco game! Frog is officially in Boy Scouts and Jamie thinks BJ should become a group leader for the scouts! And Carson is going to a diaper party?

Frog is officially in the Boy Scouts and Jamie thinks it would be great if BJ became a Boy Scout Troup Leader! What do you think, is BJ qualified to be a leader in the scouts?

My guest this week has a track record of going viral — whether he wanted to or not. Mike Aylesworth's first brush with fame was as a teenager in the late 90s when he challenged the Boy Scouts' ban on gay members… then in adulthood when he dreamed up an invention in the bathtub that changed his life, first for the better and then for the worse. He's written about his work with the Scouts (and how that turned into work against the Scouts for awhile) in an upcoming book entitled Boy Pageant. As you'll hear, Mike's always been drawn to stories about strangers who are surprised to discover that they fit together, from the Golden Girls to art thieves to the crowned heads of Europe; those stories set the stage for the work he does now, helping young people figure out how they fit into the world.We'll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I have a new video on YouTube about Dolly Parton's surprising connection to the gay community… and I have a video coming soon about the many ways in which Tim Curry shaped our lives.

Frog is starting a new adventure! BJ enrolled his son in Boy Scouts but BJ isn't sure is it's the best decision or not. Jamie thinks it's great because she learned so much from being a Girl Scout when she was young.

Bar Bingo is BACK! It's going down Wednesday, September 23rd at Pindustry in DTC from 6pm to 8pm. Registration opens on Monday morning at 8am. Frog is starting a new adventure as a Boy Scout and BJ isn't sure how to feel about it. What was United Airlines thinking with that plan to remember 9/11 tomorrow? Jamie has tips so BJ can continue to LifeMaxx.

We have an action-packed podcast lined up with Doomberg and Steven Wang, CEO of Jackery Americas. We will be covering the new executive order on the United States grid's transformers, supply chain, and key components. Some of these components have years-long resupply times in a disaster, and many people could be without power for considerable periods. The administration is recommending that people prepare and have safety supplies, and even short-term power supplies. Check out Jackery Products: https://www.jackery.com/Check out Doomberg's Substack: https://newsletter.doomberg.com/Storms, and we have also seen 30 or more water companies attacked this year by cyber hackers. Being prepared is not just a Boy Scout motto; it is now a way of life. Many of our larger utilities are recommending that we get ready for any disaster.1. Grid Reliability & Power OutagesThe hosts emphasize that the U.S. power grid is becoming increasingly unreliable, with warnings of potential rolling blackouts. A critical incident in July 2022 in Northern Virginia affected 3% of PJM's peak load, and there are concerns about cyber attacks on utilities (Iran recently targeted 30 utilities). The grid is running with less margin for error than previously.2. Exponential Demand Growth from Data Centers & AIThere's a dramatic shift from decades of stagnant demand to explosive growth driven by data centers and AI infrastructure. This "lumpy demand" is straining the grid in unexpected ways, requiring new solutions beyond traditional grid expansion.3. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) & Home Battery SystemsThe discussion centers on how residential battery systems (like Jackery) can serve dual purposes: personal emergency backup and grid support. Plug-in solar and battery systems are becoming more accessible, lowering barriers to entry for consumers and apartments.4. Battery Technology & Supply ChainTopics include:Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the current standardEmerging sodium-ion batteries (safer, better cold performance, lower cost, but lower energy density)Supply chain concentration and the need for cost reductionManufacturing localization in response to Trump's executive orders5. Trump's Emergency Declaration & ManufacturingThe administration's focus on onshoring transformer and inverter manufacturing to address critical shortages. There's a 2-3 year wait for transformers and 5-year wait for large natural gas generators—creating vulnerability if major infrastructure fails.6. Energy Independence & Personal PreparednessEmphasis on individual preparedness through home battery systems, solar panels, and backup generators. The philosophy that grid reliability starts at home, with consumers taking agency over their own power supply.7. Pricing & Grid EconomicsDiscussion about how current pricing structures favor wind and solar while penalizing natural gas and coal, without accounting for grid resiliency and storage costs. The need to shift from "Levelized Cost of Electricity" (LCOE) to metrics that value reliability.8. Regional Differences: U.S. vs. EU MarketsEuropean markets favor smaller, apartment-friendly systems (1-2 kWh), while U.S. demand is for larger capacity (3+ kWh) due to larger homes and greater energy needs.At Energy News Beat, we Make Appendices Great Again.At Energy News Beat, we Make Appendices Great Again.Check out the World's Greatest Podcast Show Notes at EnergyNewsBeat.co or EnergyNewsBeat.com, and the Energy News Beat Substack at: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Brian and Dan kick off a new theme month: "Train Month," but the verb this time. Each week, we'll look at movies about teachers and other improvement figures and regimens. To kick the month off, Dan and Brian discuss two films that were formative examples of movie teachers for Brian: Fred MacMurray as a Scoutmaster in Follow Me, Boys! and Richard Dreyfuss as a band teacher in Mr. Holland's Opus. Join as they discuss their own connections with the education career, the flashpoint status of Boy Scouts, the breakdown of midcentury economics, shifting mores towards masculinity over time, the "opus" of a life of service, and "sects" in the pool.

Two Boy Scouts found her body beside a tree stump in Kluxen's Woods about two hours later, stabbed 23 times, her hands bound behind her with the kind of cord local rose greenhouses used for shipping. The Madison borough council ordered the arrest of 14-year-old Francis Kluxen III, grandson of the winery's founder, the next day, and a judge released him on bail after calling the arrest unjustified. Morris County prosecutor John M. Mills went after a different man, 29-year-old greenhouse worker Frank Jancarek, on the word of Frank McGrory, a fired ex-convict who claimed Jancarek confessed to him the night of the killing. Jancarek's April 1922 trial in Morristown featured a letter opener with blood under its handle, a single hair that "closely resembled" his, a witness who conferred with the sheriff before picking him from a lineup, and a defense that told jurors to disregard the chemist's findings because he was German; the jury acquitted him in under an hour. Attorney General Thomas F. McCran then won an indictment against Kluxen, whose trial that July turned on his Boy Scout knife, his footprints at the stump and a nearby hydrant, trousers his mother soaked in water that night, and two mended handkerchiefs from the crime scene that a sewing teacher matched to five taken from a cabinet outside his bedroom. That jury deliberated three hours before acquitting him as well. Kluxen was later adopted by Monell Sayre, the wealthy founder of the Episcopal Church Pension Fund, joined the Marine Corps, shot a neighbor named Joe Hollman dead in San Diego in 1933, and went to San Quentin for a string of burglaries in 1934. The chapter, drawn from Troy Taylor's audiobook Suffer the Children: American Horrors, Homicides and Hauntings, closes with the houses now standing where the woods were, where a family with no knowledge of the case reported a thin, light-brown-haired girl appearing in a child's bedroom, and where drivers on Ridgedale and Fairview Avenues describe a girl in an old-fashioned coat and beret who vanishes in their headlights.

If capital punishment were more of a spectacle would it be a better deterrent to crime?  Why do I try to help people through a podcast versus in person?  A new client who just moved to the Twin Cities from Iowa thinks all the women he meets here turn out to be gay.  I suggested he secretly record his attempts at meeting women and he did.  The audio tells an interesting tale.  Is a Boy Scout knot tying merit badge a predictor of future interest in bondage?  What do living trees think of nearby telephone poles?  If an elderly person wants to die with dignity but had forgotten where they put their stash of pills should you help them look? I also suggest guidelines on when to take the car keys from an older parent.  Is being a degenerate liar a pre-requisite for joining the Trump Administration?  And is it ever OK to give a lousy Yelp review to an auto repair shop if you can't prove but are certain they screwed something up?  Subscribe and THRIVE!!!

Any organization that is not explicitly Christian will eventually become pagan. The Muslims infiltrated the Boy Scouts years ago; it was just a matter of time before the Girl Scouts fell, too. And they won't be the last, but why does this keep happening?

Let's get this out of the way: we love this movie, car-guy-detail-nerd complaints or no, and it remains the only film we've ever taken the entire BaT HQ staff to. In this latest installment of (B)at the Movies, we talk about the problem with Cobras; balancing historical accuracy with crowd appeal and ticket sales; a great way to put Boy Scouts to sleep (or apparently, inspired vocal patriotism); the iconic opening scenes of the movie, from Ken Miles' mechanic shop to the production floor at Ford to the paddock at Willow Springs; the dumb downshifts and sudden discovery of extra room under the right foot required in every racing movie; admiration for the charming leads and for Tracy Letts, the character actor playing The Deuce; evil composite characters; 17" wheels that almost ruin everything; doing 218 on the Mulsanne Straight; the sad folder situation at modern-day Ford; teaching the young about Ken Miles; and finally, the movie's ranking in the pantheon of racing films.What details did we miss?

In this episode, host Duane Osterlind welcomes physician, trauma-informed coach, and author Dr. Frank Spinelli for an honest conversation about trauma, addiction, and the root causes of shame. Dr. Spinelli shares his personal story—from surviving childhood abuse in the Boy Scouts and helping law enforcement bring his abuser to justice, to experiencing a profound breakdown during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic.Together, Duane and Frank explore why addiction and shame stem from the same underlying wound, how to separate healthy guilt from toxic shame, and how reframing shame as a tool rather than a sentence can guide us back toward self-acceptance and alignment with our core values.Key Topics DiscussedTrauma and the Hidden Roots of Addiction: How unaddressed childhood trauma often manifests as compulsive behaviors—whether involving alcohol, food, work, or sex.Shame vs. Guilt: Why guilt focuses on behavior ("I did something bad") while shame attacks identity ("I am bad"), and how the inner voice of shame is often an installed narrative from past abuse or upbringing.The Isolation Trigger: How the removal of external coping routines during the COVID-19 pandemic caused dormant trauma and shame to resurface for millions of people.Shame as Information, Not Indictment: How leaning into shame—rather than running from or numbing it—can reveal where you are out of alignment with your core values.Naming the "Unreliable Narrator": Why personifying and giving a distinct name to your inner critic helps separate your core self from intrusive, shame-based thoughts.Key Frameworks & ToolsThe 4 P's of Emotional RegulationA practical exercise to build "shame literacy" when triggered:Pause: Stop before reacting or speaking.Be Present: Bring awareness to the immediate moment and physical surroundings.Ponder: Evaluate if your emotional response belongs to the present situation or an old memory.Possibilities: Select an intentional, grounded adult response rather than an automatic reaction.The 3 Bodies of Processing ShameSomatic (Physical) Body: Noticing physical sensations (chest tightness, sweating, tension) in the nervous system without judgment.Story Body: Recognizing the internal narrative, challenging the "unreliable narrator," and separating objective facts from emotional thoughts.Relational Body: Understanding how shame builds isolation walls instead of healthy, protective boundaries in relationships.Key Quotes"What if shame is not something we need to move away from? What if we leaned into it and used it not as an indictment, but as information?" — Dr. Frank Spinelli"Guilt is 'I did something bad.' Shame is 'I'm bad.' The voice telling you that you're bad is probably not your own voice—it was installed by someone else." — Dr. Frank Spinelli"Addiction and shame are not separate problems. They're the same wound—they're just expressed differently." — Dr. Frank SpinelliGuest Resources & LinksBook: The Shame Compass: A Radical Framework for Trauma Healing and Self-Acceptance by Dr. Frank SpinelliMemoir: P-Shy by Dr. Frank SpinelliWebsite: FrankSpinelli.comSocial Media: Follow Dr. Frank Spinelli on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for daily short-form content on overcoming shame.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gay men over 40 have been running from shame their entire lives. Frank Spinelli says that is exactly the wrong move. As a physician, survivor, and author of The Shame Compass, Frank has spent decades watching gay men mistake shame for the enemy when it is actually a diagnostic tool pointing toward healing. The AIDS crisis, childhood trauma, the invisibility of aging, the pressure to perform — all of it leaves a mark. This episode is about what to do with that mark instead of burying it. Frank joins Rick to break down his C.O.M.P.A.S.S. framework and why gay men are done running. Key Takeaways: Why shame was installed in gay men before they even had words for who they wereHow the AIDS crisis created layers of survivor and caretaker shame that never got addressedWhy aging gay men face a second wave of shame around invisibility and relevanceWhat the C.O.M.P.A.S.S. framework actually does and how to use itWhy pausing is the hardest and most important skill gay men can buildHow to stop treating shame as the enemy and start using it as a compass About Frank Frank Spinelli, MD is a physician, certified health coach, and one of 95,000 survivors who filed claims in the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy case.

Farewell Sticks is the hardest episode we’ve ever had to record. On August 20th, we lost our friend, producer, and co-host John “Sticks” Hall in a small plane crash near Bristol, Maine. His son Tyler was flying with him and survived with minor injuries. We’re not speculating on cause. Actually, we’re not speculating on anything about that day. What we can tell you: it was a Diamond DA20, Sticks bought it last spring, and that’s where the facts stop for now. Farewell Sticks: The Man Behind the Mic Sticks was a true unrestricted aviator, qualified in both fixed wing and rotary wing. Furthermore, when the Coast Guard tried to send him fixed wing in flight school, he threatened to drop on request unless they let him fly helicopters instead. That stubbornness paid off. He spent his career as a Coast Guard rescue pilot, flying a hundred feet off the water, a hundred miles out, at night, in weather nobody sane would choose. Consequently, he pulled people off sinking ships when it mattered most. Sticks was also a nurse practitioner who prided himself on being an outstanding diagnostician. He didn’t clock out when he left the office, either. Friends of the show can tell you he talked them through injuries and health scares more than once. He met RePete years ago as his son’s Boy Scout troop leader. All three of his sons, Noah, Jack, and Tyler, became Eagle Scouts under his mentorship. Sticks first joined the show in Episode 30, “Are You Sure It’s Mine,” discussing 9/11. He came back most recently to co-host Episode 223, “Coasties in Space.” However, his fingerprints are on this show in quieter ways too. He designed the logo, hiding a goat at a 120-degree angle of bank for anyone who looks closely enough. He recruited guests, hauled gear from New Hampshire to North Carolina for the Harrier sundown, and finally met the whole crew in person this past June. His son Tyler appeared on Episode 176, “Don’t Be Afraid to Use the E-Word,” and is heading into his senior year at Embry-Riddle. We’re praying for Sticks and his entire family. Semper Paratus, Sticks. Always ready, right to the end. Here’s a link to the news report of the mishap. Stay Connected Send condolences to repete@sothereiwas.us with “Condolences” in the subject line.

In this episode, Stu and Andy Compas sit down with longtime rider Russ Nelson to trace his full-circle journey in cycling—from Boy Scout merit-badge miles and junior crits in the late '80s, to stepping away during the heavy family-and-career years, to coming back 20+ years later with LOTOJA in his sights. Russ talks about dropping some pounds, finding joy (and speed) in climbing, creating big adventure routes and why group rides, Zwift hacks, and early-morning canyon sunrises still light him up. Along the way, he shares stories about Moab, keychain derailleur fixes, life as the youngest of ten with nine older sisters, and leaves us with a powerful idea: aiming for harmony—not just balance—between family, work, and the bike.

What can 101 years of life teach us about faith, resilience, service, and staying positive? Jeff Gould, America's Storyteller, sits down with 101-year-old Bill Kruschel for an unforgettable conversation spanning nearly a century of American history. Born in 1925, Bill grew up during the Great Depression, worked on a farm without running water or electricity, and served as a Navy corpsman attached to the 1st Marine Division during World War II. He remembers Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, the end of the war, and returning home to begin an extraordinary life and career. With only 11 grades of formal schooling, Bill went on to spend 37 years at 3M, working in mechanical engineering during the rise of magnetic tape, computers, and floppy disks. He also devoted years to the Boy Scouts of America and advocating for children with special needs. At 101, Bill still rides his electric tricycle, sings every week, and approaches life with remarkable faith, gratitude, humor, and optimism. And stay to the end—Bill's rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” is something special.

A discarded cup of coffee is what finally brought serial killer John Getreu down. After evading justice for nearly 50 years, investigators used DNA recovered from a discarded coffee cup to expose a man who had spent decades hiding behind the image of a trusted Boy Scouts leader, mentor, husband, and neighbor. But when his DNA was compared to evidence preserved from long-forgotten crime scenes, it revealed a vicious predator linked to the murders of multiple women. In this episode, we unravel the astonishing investigation that finally caught up with John Getreu, examine the warning signs that were missed for decades, and explore how advances in DNA technology finally exposed a killer who thought he'd gotten away with murder.Follow/Subscribe wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

April 26, 1970. East Pikeland Township, Pennsylvania. While on a weekend camping trip with his Boy Scout troop, eleven-year old Terry Bowers is discovered dead inside his sleeping bag after having been stabbed four times during the early morning hours. Even though Terry was sleeping outside and there were nearly 30 other people at the campsite, no one reported seeing or hearing anything unusual and the murder weapon cannot be found. An extensive investigation turns up some leads, but no solid suspects, so Terry's murder is never solved and the motive for the crime remains unclear. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the death of Terry Bowers, one of the most perplexing child murders you'll ever find. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Embreeville station of the Pennsylvania State Police at (610) 486-6280 or Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS (1-800-472-8477).

"MK Confidential" opens on December 7th, 1971, as a car turns up a dark driveway in Westfield, New Jersey. A drama teacher named Ed Illiano leaves his headlights pointed at a nineteen-room Victorian mansion called Breeze Knoll. One of his students has shared a secret he cannot shake. Days before she vanished, sixteen-year-old Patricia List said her father was going to kill her and her two brothers. She said it the way a person reports a fact. The drama teacher and a patrolman climb through an unlocked window. The first thing they notice is the smell. The second is the music: Wagner, piped into every room over the home intercom. Behind a drape in the ballroom, a flashlight settles on a child's face. Four bodies lie side by side on Boy Scout sleeping bags, arranged in the shape of a cross. A fifth is upstairs. Everyone who lives here is accounted for, except the father, the accountant who wore a coat and tie to mow his lawn. His name is John List. Megyn Kelly goes inside a town of thirty-three thousand that has not seen a murder in eight years, and inside the family the neighbors thought they knew. Police find two fired handguns and a five-page letter. It tells them exactly who did this, and exactly why. It does not tell them where he went. This is Episode 1 of the John List story.

What makes a leader worth following when money and job security are not enough? Richard Battle has spent more than 40 years learning that leadership is built through service, purpose, and the way we respond when life does not go as planned. Richard and I explore lessons from corporate leadership, volunteer organizations, grief, personal growth, lifelong learning, and his American Can-Do book series. You will hear why servant leadership can motivate people far beyond a paycheck, why Richard replaced “Why me?” with “What now?” during adversity and how recording our stories can leave lessons for generations we may never meet. I believe you will find Richard's approach to leadership and purpose both practical and encouraging. Highlights: 00:03:57 – What a major financial setback taught Richard about real-world learning. 00:16:46 – Why volunteer leadership can make you a stronger business leader. 00:23:19 – Why preserving your stories can matter to future generations. 00:30:24 – How shifting from “Why me?” to “What now?” changes adversity. 00:46:28 – What inspired Richard's American Can Do book series. 1:03:36 – Why Richard believes purpose can continue beyond our lifetime.

Transcription Notes:

Some encounters leave you questioning what might be hiding just beyond the next ridgeline.A Washington researcher describes a logging road where a tree suddenly appeared across the path, strange markers led toward a hidden meadow, and wood knocks echoed through the forest. A lifelong hunter from Alberta shares enormous tracks, overwhelming odors, and a silent midnight shadow that lingered over a Boy Scout camp. In California, a dog trainer comes face to face with an enormous human-faced creature carrying a full-grown deer over its shoulder. An Illinois homeowner watches a towering figure stand over a neighbor's dog kennel while the entire neighborhood begins sharing similar stories. Then, a Texas family opens the door to years of astonishing encounters involving mysterious gifts, giant handprints, vocalizations, and repeated visits from what they believe is a family of Sasquatch living near their property.These are firsthand accounts from people who never expected to become part of the Bigfoot conversation. Listen with an open mind, study the details, and decide for yourself what was waiting in the woods.Resources: Eric's tiktok channel:  https://www.tiktok.com/@erichjames77

A seedy private investigator and a disgraced quarterback team up to uncover a conspiracy that will make football more profitable.  Listen as we discuss a senator who should stay home for the night, bulletproof pigs, and an epic exposition/trauma dump. Then we see if The Last Boy Scout stands the Test of Time.

The first movie that truly scared me wasn't Jaws or Psycho. It was a bizarre 1970s documentary called The Legend of Bigfoot.I was five or six, and it convinced me that something could be hiding just beyond the tree line, watching. That fear followed me through Boy Scout trips, cabin stays, and every dark stretch of woods I've passed since.In this episode, I revisit the creepy music, blurry footage, dramatic narrators, and glorious showmanship of 1970s Bigfoot movies, including Sasquatch and The Legend of Boggy Creek.Bigfoot is still elusive. The footage is still terrible. And I'm still checking the woods.

Clark Frederick's life changed forever after years of grooming and sexual abuse by Dennis Pegg, a Boy Scout leader and sheriff's lieutenant trusted by his family and community. Decades later, after struggling with addiction, gambling, broken relationships, PTSD, and silence, Clark encountered his abuser with another young boy. The sight triggered a devastating spiral that ended with Clark confronting and killing the man who abused him. In this episode, Clark explains how he avoided a life sentence, why other alleged victims began coming forward, what happened during his three years awaiting trial, and how he ultimately received a five-year sentence for manslaughter. He also shares how prison therapy, meditation, faith, sobriety, and speaking openly about his trauma helped him rebuild his life. Today, Clark is an advocate for survivors, the author of Scarred, and the host of the Free Like Me podcast. This conversation includes discussions of childhood sexual abuse, addiction, violence, suicide, and trauma. Viewer discretion is advised. Clark's message is clear: revenge did not heal him. Survivors do not have to sacrifice the rest of their lives because of what was done to them. Breaking the silence, seeking support, and doing the work to heal can create a different future.

On the surface, Gerard Baden-Clay and his wife Allison had it all. A successful luxury property business, a beautiful young family, and a prestigious family lineage tracing back to the founder of the Boy Scouts. However, in reality, Gerard had woven a web of lies, affairs, and massive loans, all without his family even knowing. However, when it all started crashing down around him, Gerard decided the easiest way out was to kill his own wife. What followed were only more pathetic lies, appeals, attempts to hide the answer to this question: what happened to Allison Baden-Clay.StitchFix: Take the stress out of shopping with https://stitchfix.com/milehigher for $20 OFF your first order!Mintmobile: Stop overpaying for your wireless bill, go to https://mintmobile.com/MILEHIGHER and start shopping for lower rates today!HungryRoot: A Free item AND 40% OFF?!
