Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Miller

In this episode, Brian Miller and Brian Tracy kick off January's theme—Escaping the Tyranny of the Urgent—by looking back at Brian's 2025 goal list (10 goals… 3 achieved… baseball Hall of Fame, real life: "ouch"). They explore what a "failed" goal year can teach you: you can't predict what's coming, God opens doors you didn't even know existed, and the real win isn't perfect outcomes—it's faithful work and healthy relationships. Key Highlights Brian admits he set 10 public goals for 2025 and hit 3, then uses that "miss" as a learning lab rather than a guilt trip. You can't predict the future: partnerships changed, a collarbone broke, and leadership responsibilities shifted—none of which were on the goal spreadsheet. Hold goals loosely: both Brians describe learning to release control and stay alert to God's unexpected openings. Focus on the work, not the scoreboard: habits and daily faithfulness matter more than lofty targets (with a nod to Atomic Habits and the "become the person" principle). Relationships are the real goal: productivity can quietly sabotage what matters most—community, family, prayer partners, and life-giving friendships. Takeaways Set fewer goals—and build "adaptability" into them. A smaller number of priorities leaves room for real life (and real leadership curveballs). Measure faithfulness by the work you do daily, not just the outcomes you can't control. Ask: "Does this goal strengthen relationships?" If it doesn't, it might be a shiny distraction wearing a halo. Stop trying to kick down locked doors. Pay attention to the doors God opens—and when they open, walk through them boldly. Schedule rest and life-giving time on purpose. If you never plan time off, the urgent will happily eat your entire year.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall discuss three essential behaviors that help coaches build a thriving practice: Networking, Nurturing, and Negotiating. They explain how these behaviors create a natural flow from awareness to relationship to partnership—and why skipping steps leads to awkwardness and frustration. Using real examples from their own coaching businesses, Brian and Chad illustrate how to operationalize each behavior in ways that fit your personality, your clients, and your local or distributed context. Key Highlights The 3 N's Framework: Networking (they know you), Nurturing (you know them), and Negotiating (you work together)—a clear progression for building a client base. Fit your strengths: Networking doesn't mean schmoozy cocktail parties; it can be teaching, podcasting, or community events—whatever authentically connects you. Patience is vital: Like farming, you can't force growth; you can only create the conditions—plant, water, and cultivate relationships. Tools shift by context: A podcast might be networking for CAM but nurturing for a local firm; the purpose defines the behavior. Bring your team along: Involve your staff early so clients build trust with the organization, not just with you personally. Takeaways Map your client journey. Identify who's on your radar, who you're networking with, who you're nurturing, and who you're negotiating with. Track without strangling. Systems help—but don't overmanage relationships; stay organic and human. Do what you enjoy. Choose networking and nurturing methods that energize you so consistency feels natural. Partnership multiplies momentum. Pair with people whose strengths complement yours—networkers, nurturers, or closers. Relationships create readiness. The best clients often come from long-term nurturing; trust builds quietly before opportunity emerges.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall revisit Matthew chapters 8 and 9 to explore the escalating revelation of Jesus' authority—from healing a leper and a centurion's servant to calming a storm and forgiving sins. They trace how each miracle expands the borders of inclusion, challenges human expectations, and demonstrates that nothing—disease, distance, nature, or even sin—can stand outside Jesus' transforming reach. The conversation turns deeply practical for Christian coaches, connecting forgiveness and reconciliation to the heart of transformational coaching. Key Highlights Inclusion as the heartbeat of the Kingdom. Jesus' first acts after the Sermon on the Mount—healing a leper and a Roman centurion's servant—reveal a radical openness that shocks religious boundaries. Escalating power and presence. Each story shows Jesus' authority expanding: from physical healing to calming creation to resolving the cosmic issue of sin. Opting out vs. opting in. Many reject Jesus not because He excludes them, but because inclusion offends their control, comfort, or sense of superiority. Forgiveness as spiritual power. Forgiving sins wasn't symbolic—it was a cataclysmic act that disrupted religious structures and revealed divine reconciliation. Coaching connection. Like Jesus, coaches help others see what's hidden beneath the surface—often an invisible need for forgiveness or reconciliation that keeps clients stuck. Takeaways Transformation begins with inclusion. God's kingdom reaches the excluded first—and invites everyone willing to step in. Forgiveness is deeper than fixing. In both faith and coaching, lasting change often starts with releasing resentment or guilt. Don't fear the storm. Growth requires following Jesus into chaos—where peace and clarity emerge. Invisible forces matter. Emotional and spiritual "black holes" like unforgiveness bend everything around them until they're addressed. Coaching is kingdom work. Helping clients reconcile—to God, themselves, and others—is a sacred act of restoration, not just problem-solving.

In this episode, Brian Miller is joined by Dr. Marcia Reynolds, former president of the International Coaching Federation and globally recognized thought leader on emotional intelligence and coaching presence. Together, they explore how neuroscience explains co-regulation—the subtle emotional exchange between coach and client that determines trust, safety, and transformation. Marcia shares practical ways coaches can regulate their own emotions, influence the energy in the coaching space, and trigger the brain chemistry that opens clients to deeper insight and growth. Key Highlights Coaching presence is emotional, not just cognitive. True presence isn't about paying attention—it's about radiating curiosity, compassion, and care that the client feels. Energy precedes words. Before a coach says anything, the client's brain detects safety or threat based on the coach's tone, body, and emotional state. Co-regulation is constant. We always regulate to the person with the most emotional influence in the room—often the coach or leader. The brain's chemistry shapes trust. Compassionate connection releases oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which calm anxiety and open creativity and insight. Judgment, fear, and impatience break presence. These emotions start in the body before the brain and must be noticed, released, and replaced intentionally. Takeaways Regulate yourself first. Your emotional state sets the tone. Enter sessions grounded, curious, and compassionate. Safety is felt, not declared. Saying "you're safe here" doesn't build trust—your calm presence does. Track with curiosity. Listen beyond the story for values, fears, and contradictions that reveal transformation points. Choose your energy intentionally. Notice where emotion shows up in your body, breathe, and return to curiosity and care. Lead with "big light." Like Marcia's mentor said, your job is to model presence and emotional maturity—even when others don't.

It's easy to be blown away by the examples of engineering prowess in the human body. But it can be challenging to turn that evidence into a robust argument for intelligent design you can share with skeptical friends and colleagues. To help you learn to do that, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a roundtable discussion with not one, not two, not three, but four guests to the podcast, all part of our team of resident scientists at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture: geologist and lawyer Casey Luskin, biochemist and metabolic nutritionist Emily Reeves, biologist Jonathan McLatchie, and physicist Brian Miller. The first half of the discussion kicks off with a review of the basics of design detection, including various methods for empirically detecting the hallmarks of design in nature. After that, these four experts take turns diving into examples of extraordinary design in the human body. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Source

If you're an expert, consultant, or coach trying to explain what you do, you've probably experienced that sinking feeling when someone's eyes glaze over mid-conversation. You know your work matters, but somehow the message isn't landing. This episode tackles one of the most critical skills for building your personal brand: the ability to communicate your expertise in a way that actually connects.Brian Miller, founder of a message design firm, joins me to break down how smart people can explain their big ideas to the rest of us. We explore why traditional presentation skills training often fails, how to design speeches that do the heavy lifting for you, and why your next keynote shouldn't try to teach everything you know.Three Key Areas We Discussed:

On today's ID The Future, host Brian Miller concludes a two-part conversation with physicist Aaron Zimmer and mathematician Ellie Feder, hosts of the Physics to God podcast, as they critique current explanations for the laws of nature and argue for an intelligent cause of the rules that govern the universe. This half of the conversation tackles the attempts made by scientists to explain these life-friendly laws as the result of chance, not design. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

You might already have heard that the laws that govern our universe are finely tuned to allow for our existence. But beneath the special numbers of the universe lies an even deeper mystery: the laws of nature themselves. On today's ID The Future, join host Brian Miller as he begins a two-part conversation with physicist Aaron Zimmer and mathematician Ellie Feder, hosts of the Physics to God podcast, as they discuss their new work arguing for an intelligent cause based on the qualitative structure of reality's rules. The dream of finding a unique, logically necessary "theory of everything" has failed, which leaves an intriguing question: Why these specific laws? Zimmer and Feder explain why fundamental forces like gravity and complex systems like quantum mechanics are uniquely designed to produce a complex universe featuring atoms, molecules, stars, and life. The new argument focuses on the fundamental qualitative structure of the laws of nature, rather than the finely tuned quantities. Zimmer and Feder argue that these laws are not logically necessary, debunking the idea that a unique "theory of everything" could explain them. Instead, the laws are uniquely designed to produce a complex universe. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Source

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall share seven practical and relational ways to find new coaching clients. Their conversation blends mindset, strategy, and faith—reminding listeners that building a coaching practice is less about marketing gimmicks and more about authentic relationships, service, and attentiveness to where God is already at work. Whether you're just starting out or seeking to grow your client base, this episode offers actionable insights to help you move forward with confidence and purpose. Key Highlights Referrals from existing clients are the most natural and effective way to gain new clients—make it easy for them by describing who you want to work with. Referrals from non-clients (like community leaders or church contacts) can be equally valuable when you've built trust and credibility. Publishing—through blogs, podcasts, or ebooks—helps increase visibility but works best when it serves the client's needs, not your ego. Presenting at local events, workshops, or online gatherings positions you as a helpful expert and naturally draws interested clients. Prayerfulness grounds your efforts, helping you discern where God is opening doors and aligning your work with His purpose. Takeaways Serve before selling. The best marketing for coaching is genuine service—offering value and care to others. Ask directly. Many clients come simply because you invited them—don't assume people will approach you first. Stay active in your community. Participation builds trust, connection, and opportunities for meaningful engagement. Keep your posture humble and relational. Avoid transactional tactics like referral fees—focus on creating goodwill. Pray with expectation. Trust that God is already at work preparing opportunities; your role is to notice and join in.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall explore the mindset behind growing a successful coaching practice. They argue that even the best systems, tools, and strategies won't help if a coach lacks the hunger, drive, and willingness to face discomfort. Drawing analogies from Chick-fil-A operators to church planting to personal sales experiences, Brian and Chad highlight that growth happens when you embrace the pain of doing hard, awkward things—like initiating conversations, facing rejection, and persisting through failure. Key Highlights Growth in your coaching practice starts with mindset, not methods or systems. Using Chick-fil-A operators as an example, Chad explains that success depends on people who bring energy, ownership, and drive—not just those who follow a system. Coaches often avoid the pain of outreach because of fear, overthinking, or perfectionism, but pain is the signal of what to do next. Mindset transformation includes shifting from avoidance to action: taking small, imperfect steps and learning from mistakes. The difference between stuck coaches and growing coaches often comes down to one thing—consistent conversations that build momentum. Takeaways Pain is the pathway. Don't avoid discomfort—lean into it. It's often the indicator of where you need to act. Conversations create clients. Websites and social media can't replace simply talking to people. Stop overthinking. Adopt a C-student mentality—take action, learn, adjust, and move forward. Fuel beats perfection. Motivation and movement matter more than having the perfect system. Failure strengthens you. Each awkward or unsuccessful attempt builds resilience and confidence for the next one.

The Epistle to the Hebrews tells us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” That isn’t science.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall unpack one of the most practical frameworks for growing a coaching practice — drawn from Acts 1:8 and the idea of starting in "Jerusalem" (the people who already know, like, and trust you) before moving outward to "Judea," "Samaria," and "the ends of the earth." Through stories, examples, and coaching wisdom, they explore why so many coaches try to start in Samaria — with websites and strangers — instead of the relationships that already surround them. The conversation blends biblical insight with business strategy, helping listeners reframe how they think about client development and confidence building. Key Highlights The "Jerusalem–Judea–Samaria–Ends of the Earth" model provides a spiritual and strategic roadmap for building a coaching practice. Many new coaches mistakenly try to market to strangers (Samaria) instead of starting with those who already know and trust them (Jerusalem). Confidence grows naturally when you start with low-hanging fruit — people ready and willing to engage — rather than high-hanging, resistant prospects. A handful of "champions" in your life want you to succeed and are eager to open doors, but you have to be willing to ask for help. Building a network takes time and humility — and knowing where you're starting is essential to making sustainable progress. Takeaways Start in your Jerusalem. Focus first on people who already know, like, and trust you. These are the relationships most ready to bear fruit. Ask for help. Don't rob your champions of the blessing of supporting you. They want to help — and connecting you is often their joy. Build confidence through success. Each small win strengthens your confidence and credibility, preparing you for larger opportunities. Be clear and courageous. Tell people you're getting started and invite them to partner with you — at least one will likely say yes. Expand outward intentionally. As your network and experience grow, let your influence move naturally from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria, rather than leaping ahead.

Being smart isn't the problem.  You can be brilliant and still invisible. What may be super clear to you doesn't always resonate to others.  And as a result, people don't remember or care about what you have to say. Genea talks with Brian Miller, a message design expert who teaches people how to explain big ideas in ways that actually stick. Brian works with scientists, researchers, and industry leaders, but the lessons here? They're for anyone who needs people to understand them. Entrepreneurs. Leaders. Creatives. Coaches. Experts. And even Parents.   If you've got something to say and people aren't getting it, this episode is for you. This conversation gets real about communication:

Interview with Brian Miller, Director & CEO of Astra ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/astra-exploration-astr-gold-silver-project-drilling-commences-2262Recording date: 6th October 2025Astra Exploration has positioned itself as one of the more compelling junior exploration stories in the current precious metals bull market, combining proven high-grade mineralization, significant expansion potential, sophisticated backing, and immediate drilling catalysts at its La Manchuria gold-silver project in Argentina.The investment case rests on exceptional initial drill results that delivered 35 g/t gold with 8,300 g/t silver and over 200 g/t gold in separate intervals, all within 100 meters of surface. These results validated a reinterpreted geological model developed by head of exploration Diego Guido, who worked on the property 20 years earlier and recognized that previous operators had missed the high-grade feeder zones at depth by focusing exclusively on shallow bulk-tonnage potential. With over 20,000 meters of historical drilling providing a robust data foundation, Astra's technical team identified an opportunity that had been hiding in plain sight.The company's capital structure distinguishes it within the junior exploration space. Michael Gentile, a respected mining investor, holds approximately 17% after participating in multiple financing rounds since his initial $1 million investment in 2022. Together with management and a consortium of cornerstone investors, insiders control 75% of shares, leaving just 25% in public float. This concentration signals strong conviction from sophisticated investors who have conducted thorough due diligence, though it also creates liquidity constraints and potential for amplified volatility in both directions.Immediate catalysts emerge from the 10,000-meter dual-rig drill program launching in October 2025. One rig will systematically expand known mineralization along strike and at depth, where success should incrementally build confidence in the system's scale and continuity. The second rig will test previously unexplored regional targets, offering blue-sky discovery potential that CEO Brian Miller describes as "a game changer" capable of taking the company "to a whole new level." Initial results are expected by year-end 2025, with steady news flow through mid-2026 providing multiple re-rating opportunities.Management's capital efficiency discipline and shareholder alignment deserve emphasis. The team worked without pay for 13 months during the La Manchuria acquisition rather than dilute shareholders in a challenging market environment. This approach—prioritizing per-share value creation over aggressive growth—contrasts sharply with the capital-destructive behavior common among junior explorers and positions Astra to benefit as the exploration funding cycle develops.The macro backdrop appears increasingly favorable. Gold at record highs and silver approaching $50 per ounce generate substantial producer free cash flow that must eventually flow toward reserve replacement and exploration. While Miller acknowledges that this cycle "has been much slower to develop" than historical patterns, the direction of travel seems clear: cash-rich producers need quality exploration assets, and companies with proven teams, high-grade discoveries, and near-term catalysts should command premium valuations.Risks remain substantial. Exploration is inherently uncertain—even well-conceived programs can disappoint. The tight float could amplify downside volatility on negative news as readily as it might magnify gains on success. Commodity price corrections would impact both discovery value and strategic acquisition premiums. Investors should approach Astra as a high-conviction, high-volatility opportunity appropriate only for risk capital allocated to the exploration segment, with position sizing reflecting both the asymmetric upside potential and the meaningful probability of capital loss inherent in discovery-stage ventures.View Astra Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/astra-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Podcast Notes   Episode 485 A New Season Arrives Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC  Date: October 2, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall share the significant announcement that Chad will be stepping away from Coach Approach Ministries after nearly twenty years of leadership. Together, they reflect on the journey, the transition process, and what lies ahead for both CAM and its community. The conversation balances gratitude for the past with excitement for the future, offering insights on leadership, stewardship, and embracing new seasons. Key Highlights Chad Hall announces his transition out of his role after almost two decades as president and co-founder of Coach Approach Ministries. Reflections on the emotional mix of grief and excitement that comes with leadership transitions. Insights from William Bridges' transition model—recognizing loss while looking toward future opportunities. Growth of CAM from a small founding team to a large, thriving community of faculty, managers, and international students. Discussion on CAM's future, including Brian's leadership, expanded teaching, and possibilities for evolving the podcast format. Takeaways Transitions are best navigated by acknowledging both the grief of loss and the excitement of new beginnings. Healthy organizations thrive when leadership responsibilities are shared, developed, and eventually transitioned. Stewardship in leadership means knowing when to step aside for the organization's growth. New seasons provide opportunities for creativity, fresh direction, and renewed engagement with community.   Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!

Scientists agree that our universe is finely tuned for the existence of life. But is the fine-tuning a happy accident or the result of foresight? On this ID The Future, host Brian Miller continues his conversation with Rabbi Elie Feder and Rabbi Aaron Zimmer, hosts of the Physics to God podcast. In the conclusion to their discussion, Feder and Zimmer explain why the cosmological constant is one of their favorite examples of fine-tuning. They also share the importance of exploring the teleological causes, or purposes, of natural phenomena. Using modern physics, say Feder and Zimmer, an objective justification for the purpose of the universe can be made. Enjoy this provocative and illuminating discussion!

In this episode, Pete Codella, managing director of business services at the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, talks with Brian Miller, founder and CEO of MoneyRight. Miller's journey into personal finance began at age 11. Initially, a traditional financial advisor, he grew disillusioned with a system that benefits the wealthy. Miller focused on helping students and others develop basic financial skills, recognizing the link between money management and emotional and psychological health. He then created MoneyRight, a platform for employees to provide financial education and psychological insights for the company's benefit. Miller identified a significant need for this service, as financial stress impacts productivity, turnover, and absenteeism. He explains that MoneyRight aims to become an employee's financial operating system. The program begins with a confidential financial stress assessment to identify a company's most significant issues. It then provides employees with a free portal, paid for by the employer, featuring monthly topics, videos, and tools tailored to their needs. The software teaches key financial concepts, like debt repayment strategies, and the importance of investing, while emphasizing a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. 

Do you recognize the number 1/137.035999206? It might seem arbitrary, but if the fine structure constant were any higher or lower than it is, you might not exist! On this episode of ID The Future, host Brian Miller kicks off an engaging conversation with Rabbi Elie Feder and Rabbi Aaron Zimmer, hosts of the Physics to God podcast. Feder has a PhD in mathematics and has published articles on graph theory. Zimmer has training in physics, and has studied mathematics, philosophy, and psychology. In Part 1 of a two-part discussion, Feder and Zimmer share their background and the inspiration for their podcast. They also explain their focus on the constants of physics and what they mean.

*How do you lead change when you don't know where you are going (yet)? * Today I sit down with Brian Miller, a change management expert from Coach Approach Ministries, to talk about adaptive change. Adaptive change is when you know something needs to change, but you don't yet know what the solution is. It's not just fixing a broken pipe—it's realizing the whole plumbing system might need to be rethought. It's the kind of change that requires people to shift their values, beliefs, and behaviors, not just learn a new skill. And that's why it's hard—because it's not just about doing something different, it's about becoming someone different. When you lead this kind of change, the danger isn't just that people leave—it's that they check out. So Brian focuses on the following things: keep the pace people can handle, invite them into shaping the vision, really listen to the voices of concern, and anchor the change in habits and identity. That way, people don't just stick around—they stay engaged in the mission.

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) isn't just a checkbox. It's one of the most powerful — and underutilized — tools in retail automotive today.In this episode of Follow The Money (on The Get More Frank Show), Frank J Lopes sits down with Brian Miller of Cars Commerce to tackle the big questions most dealers avoid:Why do so many dealerships treat CPO like an afterthought?What's really stopping sales managers from embracing certified inventory?How can CPO become your biggest trust-builder, margin protector, and customer loyalty driver?With 38% of shoppers considering CPO when searching for their next vehicle, the opportunity is massive — but only if your team knows how to educate buyers, merchandise CPO properly, and sell its value with confidence.You'll learn how to:✅ Train salespeople to confidently present CPO benefits✅ Merchandise certified vehicles online and on the lot for maximum impact✅ Handle objections about price premiums with data and value✅ Build customer trust and loyalty through transparency and consistencyIf your dealership is still parking certified units in the back row or treating them as “just another used car,” you're leaving gross and goodwill on the table.

Influenced by a long line of materialist thinkers, Charles Darwin proposed the mechanism of natural selection as a substitute for God. But how does his theory's explanatory power measure up to recent scientific discoveries? On this ID The Future selected out of the archive, physicist Brian Miller discusses the resurgence of natural theology in modern science with Pat Flynn, co-host of the Philosophy for the People podcast. Natural theology advances arguments for God based on reason and the discoveries of science. It's an ancient pursuit that fell out of favor in the 19th century as a materialist account of life's origins took center stage. But scientific findings of the last century point to mind, not a mindless process, as the likeliest explanation for a life-friendly universe. As a result, the pendulum is swinging back to teleology, ushering in a new heyday for natural theology. This is Part 1 of a 2-part discussion. Source

One quick, tangible win builds credibility and opens the door to broader adoption. 2. Over-respect a crisis  Steven's COVID-era CEO experience reinforced the need to anticipate that crises may be more painful and longer-lasting than expected, communicate more frequently, prepare for universal skills like clear thinking and empathy, and balance realism with inspiring optimism. 3. Balance long-term vision with near-term pressures Steven's time in a family office taught him to think in decades, planting “oak trees” today to enjoy the shade later. In a fast-paced, urgent hospitality environment, he stresses the importance of making sustained, compounding investments while still meeting short-term demands.   Steven Moore on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-moore-80b4ba1a/ Actabl https://actabl.com   Other Episodes You May Like:  95: Human Chat Bot with Omri Shalev https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/95 135: Giant Pink Eraser with Brian Miller https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/135 11: Swedish Pastry Dreams with Tracy Judge https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/11

Podcast Notes   Episode 478 Brushstrokes & Breakthroughs with Mark Ross Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Mark Ross Date: August 14th, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller talks with Mark Ross — a coach, artist, and founder of Next Thing Group — about the parallels between painting and coaching, the value of curiosity, and the journey of navigating career transitions. Mark shares how art serves as a creative escape and a process of discovery, while coaching provides a similar space for exploration and growth. He recounts how burnout in his former career led him to seek coaching, eventually becoming a coach himself, and emphasizes the power of intentional relationships and openness to new opportunities. Key Highlights: Mark's art process mirrors coaching — both involve starting without knowing the exact outcome and staying curious throughout. Painting serves as a form of mental reset, drawing Mark into a world of focus, experimentation, and discovery. Mark's transition into coaching began during a period of burnout, sparked by guidance from influential mentors like Dan Miller. The International Coaching Federation's (ICF) competencies gave Mark a clear framework to assess and grow his coaching skills. Relationships and intentional conversations have been the driving force behind Mark's personal and professional growth. Takeaways: Creativity and coaching both thrive in environments of openness, exploration, and adaptability. Burnout can serve as a catalyst for reinvention when paired with intentional action and mentorship. Structured professional standards, like those from ICF, can provide valuable benchmarks for skill development. Building genuine relationships through curiosity-driven conversations can open unexpected doors and opportunities.

Podcast Notes   Episode 474 Getting Real About What You Want Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: July 17, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall explore the deceptively simple yet profoundly important coaching question: What do you want? They unpack how naming desires—whether deep, superficial, or somewhere in between—can transform both coaching conversations and personal spiritual growth. Drawing parallels to biblical stories and real-life examples, they reflect on how acknowledging and expressing desires can lead to clarity, healthier goals, and deeper self-understanding. Key Highlights: The Question at the Core of Coaching Asking “What do you want?” often uncovers hidden motivations and unmet desires driving a client's behavior. The Fear of Shallow Wants Many people worry that naming their wants will make them seem selfish or superficial, but it often leads to deeper, more meaningful goals. Desires as Hidden Forces Unacknowledged wants can quietly steer decisions; bringing them into the light allows more intentional action. Spiritual Dimensions of Wanting Expressing desires honestly before God can deepen faith and reveal truer longings over time. The Three Essential Questions From Scott Adams: What do you want? What will it cost? How willing are you to pay the cost? Takeaways: Naming what you want, even if it feels messy or embarrassing, is the first step toward clarity and growth. Coaching should be a safe space where clients can express raw, unprocessed desires without judgment. Sometimes getting what you want reveals that it's not what you truly need—leading to healthier desires and better decisions. Coaches can model the unconditional acceptance shown in the story of the prodigal son, staying open and curious rather than offended by a client's wants.

Podcast Notes Episode 473 It's Not Just Complicated It's Complex w/ Dr. Kevin Krosley Host: Brian Miller, PCCGuest: Dr. Kevin Krosley, CCLC, PhD Date: July 10, 2025 Brian Miller from Coach Approach Ministries talks with Kevin Krosley of Catalyst Leadership about the Complexity-Capacity Gap—a framework for understanding why some leaders or organizations struggle to keep up with the demands of their environment. They explore what makes an organization complex versus complicated, how leaders' individual and collective capacities can match (or fail to match) their challenges, and practical ways to assess and improve organizational effectiveness. Key Highlights Complex vs. Complicated Work Simple tasks are easy and repeatable. Complicated tasks are multi-step but solvable with expertise. Complex challenges have no clear path, with many interacting elements and uncertainty. Three Streams of Complexity Competitive Complexity: Added by strategic choices (e.g., new markets, products). Requisite Complexity: The minimum necessary to operate effectively. Confounding Complexity: Unnecessary complexity that clogs systems. Leaders Have Varying Capacity Each leader has a unique ability to handle complexity, influenced by both innate traits and development over time (based on Elliott Jaques' research). Collective Leadership Capacity Even strong leaders can underperform if their team lacks trust, commitment, or accountability—drawing on Lencioni's model of cohesive teams. Complexity Requires Appropriate Solutions Oversimplifying complex challenges often leads to ineffective solutions. The goal is to make things as simple as possible—but no simpler. Takeaways Assess Complexity Honestly: Ask whether a problem is truly complicated (solvable with expertise) or complex (requiring adaptive approaches). Identify and Remove Confounding Complexity: Audit unnecessary processes, traditions, or bureaucracy that add friction without value. Develop Leaders' Capacity: Invest in coaching and experiences that expand individuals' ability to handle greater complexity. Strengthen the Leadership Team: Focus on trust, healthy conflict, commitment, accountability, and results to amplify collective capacity. Align Strategy with Capacity: Before pursuing ambitious initiatives, evaluate whether the organization's current capacity can realistically handle the added complexity.

Podcast Notes Episode 472 Distinctions as the Key to Insight Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: July 3, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall dive deep into the concept of distinctions in coaching—the practice of helping clients untangle and clarify similar ideas that are often conflated. They discuss how distinctions can evoke awareness, expand thinking, and lead to more precise actions. With examples ranging from assertive vs. aggressive to interests vs. positions, they illustrate how a coach's role goes beyond asking questions to offering lenses for clearer perspective. Key Highlights: Defining Distinctions: A distinction separates two similar but different concepts. Helping clients see these can unlock new insights. Examples in Practice: Common distinctions include want vs. need, assertive vs. aggressive, candid vs. kind, and toxic vs. imperfect. Role of the Coach: Coaches aren't just question-askers—they are thinking partners who offer observations and distinctions that facilitate awareness. Distinctions Create Clarity: When clients conflate ideas (e.g., all managing is micromanaging), clarifying distinctions can change perceptions and actions. Language Matters: The words clients use—like calling someone “toxic”—can reflect deeper assumptions worth exploring. Takeaways: Distinctions Are Tools: Use them intentionally and contextually to help clients reframe issues and discover new possibilities. Beyond Questions: Coaching involves sharing observations, metaphors, and distinctions—not just asking questions. Clarity Enables Action: The clearer clients are about what they're experiencing, the more effectively they can respond. Stay Curious, Not Prescriptive: Offer distinctions as lenses, not conclusions—clients still decide what's true for them. Language Shapes Experience: Help clients label experiences accurately to avoid unhelpful assumptions.

Podcast Notes Episode 469 Telling Real Stories in a Broken World w/ David Alford and Joseph Stam Host: Brian Miller, PCC Guests: David Alford and Joseph Stam Date: June 12, 2025 In this episode, host Brian Miller speaks with filmmakers David Alford and Joseph Stam about their new film Searching for the Elephant. The conversation dives into the gritty, neo-western drama centered on a fractured relationship between a reclusive Vietnam veteran grandfather and his estranged, drug-addicted grandson. The filmmakers reflect on the story's themes, the challenges of portraying addiction authentically, and their departure from conventional Christian storytelling. They also highlight the collaborative nature of the production and share their passion for crafting emotionally honest, conflict-rich narratives that mirror the messiness of real life.  Key Highlights Story Premise & Tone: Searching for the Elephant is a character-driven neo-western that explores emotional isolation, generational trauma, and redemption. It pushes past sanitized storytelling, embracing grittier, more realistic portrayals of pain and healing. Authenticity in Addiction Portrayal: Joseph Stam, who plays the grandson Jason, immersed himself in research—watching documentaries, developing a backstory, and spending time with people in recovery—to ensure a truthful and respectful performance. Intentional Departure from Hallmark-style Christian Films: The filmmakers wanted to reflect the complexity of faith and life, avoiding the overly "tidy" resolution tropes common in Christian media, aiming instead for authenticity and emotional realism. Dynamic Character Arcs: Both the grandfather and grandson undergo parallel transformations, with layered, conflicted emotions that resonate with anyone who's experienced strained family relationships. Collaborative Creative Process: The team emphasized a “best idea wins” environment on set, fostering creativity among cast and crew and contributing to the film's grounded, emotionally rich atmosphere. Takeaways Conflict drives great storytelling: As the filmmakers note, real drama is born from unresolved tensions—and leaning into conflict rather than avoiding it leads to more compelling narratives. Faith-based films can be gritty and real: There's room in Christian cinema for raw, unpolished stories that still carry messages of hope and redemption without sugarcoating reality. Authenticity requires dedication: Bringing depth to characters—especially those struggling with addiction or trauma—demands time, empathy, and careful preparation. Humor has its place in drama: Subtle, character-grounded humor helped balance the film's intensity, providing relief without undercutting emotional weight.

For decades, we've thought the control center of life lies in DNA. But a new scientific framework is emerging that challenges that idea, and suggests that vast portions of the genome are immaterial and lie outside the physical world. Today, physicist Dr. Brian Miller shares his perspective on the cutting-edge, potentially revolutionary research of mathematical biologist Dr. Richard Sternberg on the immaterial aspects of the genome. In this exchange, Dr. Miller shares several examples of the immaterial nature of life. These ideas point towards the earliest stages of the next great scientific revolution and have significant implications for the intelligent design debate. Source

Podcast Notes Episode 465 Creating Space for Awareness Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: May 15, 2025 In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries podcast, Brian Miller and Chad Hall dive deep into the core coaching competency of evoking awareness. They explore how the International Coaching Federation reframed this concept to shift the focus away from simply asking questions and toward generating new insight and understanding for clients. The conversation includes practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real-world examples to help coaches foster meaningful breakthroughs. Key Highlights The Evolution of a Core Competency: The ICF shifted from emphasizing “powerful questioning” to “evoking awareness,” highlighting that questions are just one of many tools to spark insight. The Role of Deep Listening: Evoking awareness begins with truly listening — not just to words, but to tone, patterns, and what's left unsaid — with a deep sense of curiosity. Avoiding Entrenchment: Coaches should be careful not to challenge clients in ways that provoke defensiveness; gentle observations or reframing can lead to more open exploration. Multiple Paths to Awareness: Beyond questions, awareness can be evoked through metaphors, observations, reframing, or offering models and distinctions (like the “3 Ps” for leadership issues). Shifting the Coaching Mindset: Tools like the hourglass model are not instructions for the coach but frameworks to understand and support the client's thought journey. Takeaways Awareness is the goal, not the question itself — be flexible in your approach. Curiosity is foundational: great coaches listen beyond the surface. Evoking awareness means meeting the client where they are, even if that's uncertainty or resistance. Effective coaching requires patience — allow clients the space to discover rather than forcing insights.   Evoking Awareness eCourse Available for $79 at http://coachapproachministries.org/awareness    Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!

Is origin of life research going round in circles? This is ID the Future, a podcast that isn't afraid to tackle the big questions about evolution and intelligent design. Today, host Eric Anderson chats with physicist Dr. Brian Miller about circular reasoning and other problems in origin of life research.
