There is a question most of us skip past entirely in our daily lives: do I actually matter? Not "am I useful?" or "am I successful?" but do I matter, as a person, independent of what I produce or achieve? It sounds simple. But the research suggests we are terrible at actually living like the answer is yes. In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Breheny Wallace, journalist and bestselling author of Mattering, a book that unpacks why so many of us have tied our sense of worth to our output, and what it costs us. Jennifer has been researching this topic for nearly a decade, and her work is one of those rare combinations: rigorously grounded and deeply personal. Jennifer and I discuss: The two sides of the mattering equation: feeling significant versus being useful, and why both are essential The crumpled $20 bill story and what it teaches children (and adults) about unconditional worth The "impact file" and why what goes in it might surprise you Three different paths you can take when envy hits, including one called mudita that reframes another person's success as your own What managers get wrong about mattering, and the small everyday moments that actually move the needle The 30-second nightly practice that can override your brain's negativity bias Key Quotes "Mattering is found in the small everyday moments of life. It was never the big moments, it was the small moments." "We all crave to feel needed and relied on. Letting young people know that you are valued for so much more than your achievements, you are needed here, you have a role in this world."

If you feel stuck in your training and your strength just isn't moving, this episode is for you. Heather and Katie break down the most common reasons people hit strength plateaus and what to actually do about it. Spoiler: it's probably not your genetics.What We CoverToo much, too soon Doing too much cardio, too much volume, or going all out six days a week without proper fueling and recovery are the most common traps, especially when people return to training motivated. Working out is a stressor. Add in life stress, poor sleep, and under-eating, and your bucket overflows fast.You can't lose fat and get stronger at the same time (unless you're a beginner) Chasing two goals simultaneously is physiologically impossible for intermediate lifters. Use strength as your tracking metric: if you're in a deficit and maintaining strength, you're doing it right. If your strength is tanking, your deficit is probably too aggressive.Your program might just suck No progressive overload. Too many isolation movements and machines. Not enough compound lifts. Changing your program too often or not often enough. These all stall progress. There's a sweet spot between doing the same movements long enough to adapt and progressing them in a way that actually makes sense.Rest between sets matters Skipping rest between sets turns strength training into cardio. You need a couple of minutes to regenerate ATP and actually perform on your next set. Junk volume + no rest = wasted time.Sleep Less than six hours and you're already fighting an uphill battle. Seven is the floor. Sleep is non-negotiable.Protein and fiber Stop overcomplicating nutrition. Focus on protein and fiber, and you'll naturally crowd out the junk. It's hard to eat like crap when you're hitting those two targets consistently.Form and range of motion Quarter squats, half reps, and cutting range of motion might let you load more plates, but it won't transfer to real life. You only get strong in the range of motion you train. Drop the weight, hit depth, and build real strength.You probably haven't hit your genetic limit If your bench is stuck at 135, it's almost certainly your program, your form, or your recovery and not your ceiling. Most people have barely scratched the surface.Hire a coach — even just once a month You may not need full-time personal training. Form-check in sessions can make a massive difference. Have them audit your squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench, and row. Full-body workout + full audit in one session.Want More?Join our Facebook GroupChat about 1:1 Fitness Coaching OptionsGet 3 Weeks of Nutrition Support for FreeFree Knee Pain Training GuideGet Hundreds of Movement Demos on Our Youtube Channel

In today's episode, I sit down with Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn. Larry Weishuhn, known across the outdoor world as "Mr. Whitetail," is a professional wildlife biologist, award-winning outdoor writer, author, and television personality who has spent more than six decades in the field. A native Texan and Texas A&M-trained wildlife scientist, he got his start working on Texas's pioneering wildlife disease research and later served as a technical assistance biologist helping landowners build quality deer programs across South Texas. Over his career, Larry has established wildlife management programs on more than 15 million acres and helped develop many of the deer and habitat management practices hunters rely on today. He has written thousands of articles and several award-winning books, appeared in hundreds of television episodes, and currently co-hosts "A Sportsman's Life" and the podcast "DSC's Campfires with Larry Weishuhn." A Dallas Safari Club ambassador and member of multiple conservation hall of fames, Larry remains one of the most recognized and respected voices in whitetail hunting and management.

The top ten grossing movies of 2025 include four sequels, two reboots, and two live-action remakes. The only film with a genuinely original premise is Sinners. Brian From turns that observation into a deeper question: why is an entire generation — raised online, drowning in new content — desperately reaching backward toward Polaroid cameras, record players, VHS tapes, and music from eras they never lived? Kyle Burks at the Gospel Coalition says Gen Z is drunk on nostalgia, and Brian argues it's not just Gen Z. That longing for something simpler, something that lasts, something you can hold onto — it's not ultimately a longing for the past. It's a longing for the eternal. Then: celebrating as a spiritual discipline — why moving on too quickly to the next thing robs us of joy, and what Brian learned hosting his son's graduation party. The Knicks win their first championship in 53 years. A pastor's thread of ordinary life-change stories from his congregation that reads like a modern Acts 8. GLP-1 drugs and Christians — less a right-or-wrong question and more an identity question. And a top-ten list of 2000s worship songs that will immediately transport you back to every lock-in you ever attended.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do you do when life feels uncertain, stressful, or completely out of your control?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our **Chasing Purpose** series by teaching through Proverbs 3 and one of the most well-known promises in Scripture: **“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.”**Pastor Brandon reminds us that life often brings seasons we cannot control. Jobs change, finances get tight, people move, the economy shifts, and the world can feel unstable. But in the middle of uncertainty, God invites us to trust Him fully.This message unpacks what it actually means to trust God: learning His truth, obeying His will, sharing in His blessings, and submitting to His correction. When we choose God's wisdom over our own understanding, He brings health, peace, direction, and nourishment to our lives.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs a reminder to hold tightly to Jesus and trust Him in every season.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.

Barrett Baber on Crittenden County, Songwriting Magic, the Grind in Nashville, and Keeping AI Out of LyricsSinger-songwriter Barrett Baber joins host Jason English on the Curious Goldfish podcast to discuss his 10-song album Crittenden County, inspired by his upbringing in Marion/West Memphis, Arkansas, near Memphis and the Mississippi River, and shaped by influences ranging from Memphis soul to '90s rock. Baber shares how songs like “Clown in a Barrel” reflect loving something that hurts—often mirroring his relationship with the music business—and why he keeps showing up despite financial pressure from streaming economics. He explains his independent release strategy of issuing “double” singles, describes the “holy” magic of co-writing and studio sessions, and details the origins of songs like “Hurt Talking” and “West of Memphis.” Baber also recounts surviving a 1999 commercial plane crash, compares American Idol and The Voice, and draws a firm line against using AI to write lyrics or melodies while using it only as a production exploration tool.00:00 Chasing the Dream01:06 Podcast Intro Setup03:27 March Madness Weekend05:03 Crittenden County Roots10:33 River Delta Inspiration13:35 Album Themes Grown Up16:27 Clown in a Barrel Story18:52 Showing Up Anyway24:11 Indie Release Strategy29:33 Songwriting Room Magic35:16 Writer Block Breakthrough35:51 West of Memphis Meaning38:09 Big Rock Production38:45 Songwriting Is Spiritual40:16 Can Anyone Write Songs42:08 Co Writing And Demos44:09 Fireworks Gets Cut47:30 Radio Pays Songwriters49:23 Idol Versus The Voice53:35 Plane Crash And Trauma56:04 Toughness And Showing Up59:53 AI Versus Human Art01:05:34 AI Expands Genres01:09:37 Curiosity And The Future01:13:35 Wrap Up And Farewell

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Cristiano Ronaldo's last few days have been a perfect snapshot of a global icon entering what could be the final, legacy-defining chapter of his career. According to ESPN and multiple Portuguese outlets, Ronaldo has arrived in the United States with the Portugal national team as they settle into Palm Beach, Florida, to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, where he is expected to become the first man to play in six World Cups. ESPN reports that he insists he is fit, confident, and determined to chase the one great trophy still missing from his collection, a World Cup winners medal, and that he remains Portugal's all time leader in caps and goals for a men's national team. Video from Sky Sports and other broadcasters shows him smiling, waving, and acknowledging supporters as the squad checked into their team hotel, underlining that even at 41, he is still the main attraction wherever Portugal lands. Fabrizio Romano and other well known football reporters have shared footage of Ronaldo's arrival in Miami and subsequent training sessions, with the tone very much that he is central to Roberto Martinez's plans rather than a ceremonial passenger. At the same time, the ESPN FC panel has been actively debating whether Portugal might, at some point, be better tactically without starting him every match, a discussion that could become a major long term storyline if his minutes are managed more carefully at this World Cup rather than him playing every possible minute. On the business and fame front, digital media analysis from Epidemic Sound and sports business sites confirms that Ronaldo remains the most followed individual athlete on Instagram, at around 665 million followers, a staggering number that keeps growing despite Meta recently purging inactive accounts from the platform. One social media monitoring piece notes that his recent posts over the last month have been dominated by Portugal training content, family moments, and commercial partnerships, reinforcing the now familiar blend of national team icon, family man, and global brand. There has also been a viral clip on Instagram of Ronaldo brushing off an over eager fan who breached security for a selfie. Comment threads are split: some frame it as reasonable concern for safety, others as proof that the nonstop attention wears on him. While the reaction is noisy, there is no verified indication of any formal complaint or disciplinary issue arising from the incident, so for now it sits firmly in the realm of social media drama rather than lasting biographical scandal. Meanwhile, fan commentary videos continue to defend him against what they describe as excessive criticism after a recent friendly, with creators on Instagram and TikTok arguing that judging Ronaldo purely on one match ignores his enduring statistical impact and leadership role for Portugal. Although subjective, this shows how polarizing and culturally central his presence remains even in routine warm up games. Looking ahead, reports circulating on social platforms about a possible high profile United States friendly at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, billed as Ronaldo's first major U.S. appearance with Portugal in years, remain speculative until confirmed by the Portuguese federation or U.S. Soccer. If and when such fixtures are officially announced, they would add another chapter to his already global tour of football influence. That is your Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash for this week.

This episode is supported by Kava Haven, Goodr, and Batch. Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Megan Eckert. Meg recently finished third overall among women at the 2025 Cocodona 250, running one of the fastest times in race history. She's an ultrarunner, coach, teacher, and one of the most accomplished endurance athletes in the sport. In 2025, she ran 603 miles, surpassing 600 miles in six days and setting a world record pending ratification. She also finished second at Badwater 135 and continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in ultrarunning. One of the most fascinating parts of Meg's story is that she didn't discover running until she was 29 years old. What started with a goal of breaking two hours in her first half marathon quickly grew into a passion for ultras, trail running, and eventually some of the longest races in the world. In this conversation, Meg shares how she approaches races as long as Cocodona, why she focuses on competing against herself rather than other runners, how she balances teaching sixth-grade math with elite ultrarunning, and what she's learned from spending days at a time moving through mountains, deserts, and remote wilderness. We also talk about sleep strategy, hallucinations, training for six-day races, the value of recovery, and why she continues to pursue goals that have a real chance of failure.

ETP#219 (Part 1) is all about chasing big goals. If you've listened for a while you know we talk a ton about training, a decent amount about nutrition, and honestly not enough about the prosper side. This episode leans into that third pillar. Between the two of us we've moved across the country (and the world), changed careers, built gyms, build successful coaching and training businesses, and turned pro. With plenty of wins and a fair share of losses along the way. And the behind the scenes of how those things actually came together is where the real value is.So we each break down the foundations we've used for deciding if a big goal is actually worth the time, energy, and relationship cost it's going to demand. Because it will demand it. Your life is already full, and you cannot just stack a big goal on top of a full life without trading in the pursuit of a new big goal.We got deep enough into the examples that we ran out of time before giving CrossFit PB the conversation it deserves.

Today I'm reviewing Becoming the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar, the second installment in his unique horror-thriller series that blends true crime, psychological suspense, and unsettling horror into something that feels disturbingly real. After thoroughly enjoying Chasing the Boogeyman, I was hopeful this sequel could maintain the same atmosphere and tension. Not only does it succeed, but it expands the story in fascinating ways, raises the stakes, and leaves readers desperately wanting the next installment.In this spoiler-lite review, I'll discuss what makes this sequel work so well, who it's likely to appeal to, a few reasons it might not be for everyone, and whether this series remains worth your time as we head toward the October release of Killing the Boogeyman.Have you read Becoming the Boogeyman?

Marty checks in 26 days out from the Gold Coast Marathon to discuss his peak marathon training, achilles niggle, biggest long run yet, fueling plan including sodium loading, race weight, sauna, strength work, and shoe choice.

Marty explains that the run felt hard partly due to early Achilles tightness, which flared after stopping, and he reflects on whether he could have extended the marathon-effort segment closer to 30 km. The conversation covers Marty's confidence around breaking 2:40, his doubts about holding 3:45/km on race day, and his estimate of around a 30% chance if everything comes together. Matt and Marty also discuss his weekly mileage rising toward roughly 160 km, a strong 2 km "on" / 1 km float session, and the mental benefits and drawbacks of group training, Strava comparison, and chasing other runners' sessions. They also talk through Marty's current race weight of around 66.5 kg, his plan to take 100 g of carbohydrates per hour, heavy sodium loading to reduce cramping risk, minimal fluids, and possible beetroot and bicarb trials. Marty shares that he has neglected sauna and strength work since moving but may add heat sessions back in, while Matt and Marty debate sauna protocols, strength training tradeoffs, and whether the Puma FastR is the right race-day shoe despite Achilles concerns.

Chad Lewis has been down more rabbit holes than almost anyone alive. Nearly thirty years of fieldwork, over twenty-five books, and an unwavering commitment to saying "I don't know" without flinching. Tonight he takes us through what three decades of chasing the unexplained actually looks like from the inside.It started in Elmwood, Wisconsin, with high school UFO sightings and a psychology professor at UW Stout who turned out to be the first researcher to interview George Wheeler. From there the rabbit hole only deepened. Chad talks about how his position on Bigfoot has shifted over thirty years toward something stranger than flesh and blood, the Native American buffer zones throughout the Midwest where paranormal activity clusters, the cosmic trickster theory, and fieldwork in Guatemala tracking the Tata Duende through villages where locals warned him away with complete seriousness.Also covered: Lake Peppin's sea monster Peppy, the Van Meter Visitor, the Hodag, Wisconsin's paranormal landscape, and what thirty years of sitting with the unexplained does to your worldview.Chad Lewis: https://www.chadlewisresearch.com/Patreon: https://patreon.com/InfiniteRabbitHoleJeremy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/U-F-Elmwood-Cosmic-Puzzle/dp/B0GX1GBMZNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcastWebsite: https://InfiniteRabbitHole.com

How Tahini's is Winning the Race for GrowthFor growing brands, expansion is the goal. The real question is how you get there.At a time when restaurant concepts are racing to sign development deals, enter major markets, and announce aggressive expansion plans, Tahini's is taking a different approach. The Mediterranean fast-casual brand is growing quickly across North America, but the strategy behind that growth is surprisingly disciplined.Shawn Saraga has spent more than two decades in franchising, helping open over 1,000 locations across multiple brands. That experience has shaped a philosophy that sounds simple but is often ignored: bad growth is more dangerous than no growth at all.The conversation explores why the company walked away from locations that looked good on paper, why it chose suburban markets before major urban centers, and why franchisees aren't automatically awarded multi-unit rights just because they have the capital.There's also a broader discussion about what separates successful franchise systems from struggling ones. Education, site selection, operational readiness, and decision-making speed all emerge as recurring themes. As lending standards tighten and operators face greater scrutiny, the brands that win may not be the ones growing the fastest. They may be the ones building the strongest foundation.For retail real estate professionals, investors, franchise operators, and developers, this discussion offers a useful reminder: the best growth stories aren't built on ambition alone. They're built on discipline, execution, and knowing when to say no.Because sometimes the smartest expansion strategy isn't finding more deals.It's passing on the wrong ones.What You'll HearWhy the fastest-growing brands are often the most disciplinedHow Tahini's is using social media to fuel real-world expansionWhy saying "no" to the wrong location can be the best growth strategyThe challenge of balancing speed, execution, and smart decision-makingHow franchise education creates stronger operators and better outcomesWhat it takes to scale a restaurant brand without losing controlChapters00:00 – Tahini's enters its next growth phaseShawn shares the brand's expansion plans across the U.S. and Canada.03:02 – What makes Tahini's differentA look at the concept, menu innovation, social media strategy, and operating model.05:38 – Choosing the right marketsHow franchise demand and audience data shaped U.S. expansion decisions.07:39 – Chasing category leadersShawn discusses performance expectations and competing in the fast-casual space.08:22 – Testing the drive-thru modelWhy Auburn, Alabama became the brand's first drive-thru location.09:07 – Site selection, and development strategyWhat Tahini's is looking for from landlords, brokers, and developers.10:47 – The Franchise ToolboxShawn explains his new book and franchise education platform.14:31 – Better franchisees make better operatorsHow education improves site decisions, planning, and execution.15:08 – First-time owners vs. multi-unit operatorsThe evolution of franchise recruitment as the brand grows.16:47 – Moving at deal speedWhy responsiveness is a competitive advantage in retail real estate.21:28 – Looking aheadFinal thoughts on growth, franchising, and what's next for Tahini's.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider what happens when one chases the meta. This is especially a problem when competitive and casual players mix and is the topic of several GeekNights lectures.

She ran 1:57 in an Olympic final as an afterthought—then walked away, rebuilt everything, and came back faster.  Alex Bell isn't just reinventing herself; she's finally becoming who she was supposed to be.In this conversation, Alex takes Dominic through one of British running's most unlikely second acts. She opens about the moment she crossed the finish line in Tokyo and knew (lying on her back; a million feelings at once) that she would never run 1:57 again. She talks honestly about the mental health toll of years spent as an unfunded elite, working police shifts and retail while competing at Diamond League level–and why she needed to step away from the sport entirely before she could fall back in love with it. Now, under coach Andrew Henderson at Leeds Beckett, she's averaging 85 miles a week (double what she ran at the peak of her 800m career) and her body has never felt better. She breaks down the training shift in real terms: double threshold days, long canal runs with 20-plus athletes on Sunday mornings, and the kind of joy she says she never once felt standing on a track start line. She describes pacing the 2026 TCS London Marathon, watching the world record fall from the inside, and coming home the next day to hand in her notice. The marathon debut is coming in February. LA 2028 is the dream.

Let me tell you something, Packernation. It's June and the Vikings and Lions are already puffing their chests about roster improvements. Same old meatball franchises slapping new names on the same problems. They can add all the names they want and hold all the press conferences they want. It doesn't matter. Green Bay is building something that shows up in January, not June noise. These clowns still don't have the identity or the soul. They never will. The truth is going to remind them exactly who they are when the real football starts. Go Pack Go!

DMV Hoops Podcast – Episode 106

Ah man. The raccoons got into the freaking crack again. And, yep, it's making them do some really weird stuff, as you might expect. First of all, they're raccoons. And to my understanding, them being wild animals, if there were enough of them stone cold sober, we might be in trouble. I don't know how well raccoons coordinate but you gotta imagine they have teeth. Oh, and not to mention they have opposable thumbs, right? So they can handle weapons or draw strategic diagrams. They might even be able to disarm us, if we don't use proper form. But now you're telling me they're on crack as well – which is still a drug, mind you – a drug which can have certain effects on those who consume it. Being that it's the raccoons what consumed it, it stands to reason that the critters have become even less predictable than they already were. Not for nothing, but I was having a hard time predicting what they were gonna do anyway. Now with the crack, it's anybody's guess. I wish we hadn't found ourselves in this situation, but it is what it is. Maybe if we had had the crack on our side, or maybe if we were the raccoons, things would've turned out different. All I can hope for now is that my grandmother gets a robot to talk to her until she dies, and Teslas get a heads-up display. And maybe…just maybe, if we pray hard enough, some 40 year old guy will go watch a baseball game. God willing.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Isn't it oddly freeing to be humbled? To be gently caught in a blind spot and brought back down to solid ground? In this warm and disarming episode, Lia Girard invites us to reconsider our relationship with imperfection — not as something to be ashamed of or frantically fixed, but as part of God's purposeful, loving design. In a world that bombards us with impossible standards of beauty, brilliance, and success, the pressure to appear perfect is relentless. And for Christians, it can feel even more loaded — especially when Jesus Himself says in Matthew 5:48, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." But here's where the Greek original opens everything up. The word used — teleios — doesn't mean flawless. It means to mature in pursuing a goal. And Romans 3:23-24 makes the rest beautifully clear: not one of us achieves perfection on this earth. We all fall short. Every single one. That is not a verdict of shame — it is an invitation to grace. Our imperfection is what keeps us running to God, receiving His forgiveness, and extending compassion to others who are equally in need. Lia reminds us that only Jesus is perfect, and it is His perfection — not ours — that reconciles us to God. So rather than chasing the illusion of flawlessness, we are invited to happily, humbly become works in progress — directed, healed, and matured in His loving hands. Today's Bible Verse "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." — Romans 3:23-24, NIV Ponder Today Imperfection is not a flaw in God's design — it is part of it. Our propensity for sin and our need for grace are what continually draw us back to God, to receive His love and redemption, and to realize that only Jesus is perfect. Teleios means mature, not flawless. When Jesus calls us to be "perfect," He is calling us to grow and pursue Christlikeness — not to achieve a sinless standard we were never designed to reach on our own. Humility is a gift, not a defeat. Being made aware of our shortcomings protects us from pride and self-glorification — the very trap Satan uses to lead us away from dependence on God. A humble heart is a protected heart. Our imperfection gives us the capacity for compassion. When we honestly face our own sin and receive God's forgiveness, we become better equipped to extend that same grace to others who are struggling alongside us. Chasing the illusion of perfection keeps us from receiving grace. When we cover up or ignore our weak places to appear flawless, we rob ourselves of the very thing we need most — God's transforming, healing presence in those exact places. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, it's never easy to face imperfection. But I know You made me on purpose, and I don't need to compare myself to anyone else — because we are all unique creations. Help me understand that there is no human standard for "perfect." Help me remember that my propensity for sin gives me the opportunity to receive Your forgiveness and grace, which equips me to show compassion to others. Don't let me be misled by the pursuit of flawlessness — because only You are perfect. Instead, help me to happily and humbly be a work in progress, directed, healed, and matured in Your loving hands. I love and thank You. Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer gave you permission to stop striving and start growing, we'd love to stay connected.
