On this episode, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein is joined by Noah Neiman, co-founder of Rumble Boxing and founder of Knuckle Therapy. From panic attacks and rock bottom to building global fitness brands, Noah and Matt explore the profound connection between physical training and mental resilience. Noah shares how structured movement became the foundation for managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why the discipline of fight training translates directly into how we navigate life's hardest moments. A candid conversation on the neuroscience of presence, the therapeutic power of service to others, and what it truly means to train for longevity, in the ring and beyond.Timestamps:00:00 — Introduction & Cold Weather in New York01:04 — Pittsburgh Roots, Sports, and Life Metaphors02:22 — How Training Saved Noah's Life03:05 — ADHD, Physical Control, and Emotional Regulation04:36 — Early Influences: Boxing Gyms, Body for Life, and Therapy06:28 — Football, Identity, and Taking Control of the Body07:02 — College, Jiu-Jitsu, and Finding Purpose08:08 — Anxiety, Depression, and the Power of Presence09:22 — What "Training" Really Means: Sleep, Nutrition, and Mindset10:36 — How You Train Is How You Fight Is How You Live13:30 — The Turning Point: Giving to Others as Therapy14:10 — Selling Drugs, Materialism, and Misery15:23 — Muhammad Ali, Service, and Spiritual Rent17:23 — Failing Upwards: The Road to Barry's Bootcamp19:46 — Warren Stout, Jiu-Jitsu, and Rebuilding After Near-Overdose21:19 — The Craigslist Apartment and Moving to New York22:27 — Walking Into Barry's Bootcamp for the First Time25:44 — Vampire Fitness Hour: Building a Brand from One Class27:47 — Teaching Through Panic Attacks and Overcoming Them28:57 — Medication, Anxiety, and Finding the Root Cause31:12 — The Tattoo, King Henry VI, and "Fearless Minds"32:30 — The Birth of Rumble Boxing36:54 — Co-founding Rumble with Eugene Ram38:09 — Pandemic, Selling Rumble, and What Comes Next40:07 — Launching The Pack: Three Dogs, Three Modalities47:07 — Knuckle Therapy: Honoring Oz and Building a Brand52:55 — A Typical Week: Exercise, Walking, and Movement55:17 — Training at Henzo Gracie's and Teaching Daily57:03 — Recovery, Injury Prevention, and Longevity at 4101:02:37 — Nutrition: Eating a Lot, Eating Clean01:06:46 — Sleep, Balance, and Living in the Extremes01:11:43 — The Most Unexpected Part of the Journey01:16:24 — Advice for Anyone Going Through It01:19:46 — Choose Love, Not Fear: Closing Thoughts

One Night. One Decision. One Life Gone. (And the Message Every Teen Needs to Hear) Scarlett's guest is Kelli Sallee, a powerful and compassionate speaker who has spent more than a decade working with Drive Sober of Greater Lafayette, helping prevent impaired driving through education and honest conversations with students. Kelli's work is deeply personal. She shares the story of her best friend, Tiffany “TK” Krammes, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver—an experience that forever changed Kelli's life and became the reason she chose to turn pain into purpose. Through storytelling and heartfelt dialogue, Kelli doesn't speak to shock—she speaks to connection. Her message is unforgettable: “Don't make short decisions that will have long-term consequences. Your choices matter.” That message aligns powerfully with what we teach at Choose Love: there is always a Choice Moment—a space between what happens and what we do next—where we can choose courage, responsibility, and love. Kelli is living proof that one person's voice, one brave conversation, and one loving intervention can change outcomes—and even save lives.

Is Bullying Being Covered Up To Prevent Liability? In this episode, Scarlett speaks with Randy Brown, author of The Inside Story of Columbine: Lies, Coverups, Ballistics, Lessons, whose connection to the Columbine tragedy is deeply personal—his sons were at the school on April 20, 1999, and his family reported Eric Harris to authorities two years before the shooting. Randy shares decades of research and lived experience to challenge widely accepted narratives, examine systemic failures and coverups, and explore the deeper cultural roots of school violence. This important conversation invites listeners to keep an open heart and mind as we seek truth, honor victims, support survivors, and consider what it will truly take to prevent future tragedies.

We're Still Learning Pt. 1 | February 1, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisJames 1:19-20 (NIV) My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.✓ IT'S TRAINING US TO REACT, NOT REFLECT.Numbers 20:1-12 (NLT) In the first month of the year, the whole community of Israel arrived in the wilderness of Zin and camped at Kadesh. There was no water for the people to drink at that place, so they rebelled against Moses and Aaron. The people blamed Moses and said, “If only we had died in the Lord's presence with our brothers! Why did you make us leave Egypt and bring us here to this terrible place?”Moses and Aaron turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where they fell face down on the ground. Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to them, and the Lord said to Moses, “You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community. As the people watch, speak to the rock over there, and it will pour out its water." So Moses did as he was told. Then he and Aaron summoned the people to come and gather at the rock. “Listen, you rebels!” he shouted. “Must we bring you water from this rock?” Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the staff, and water gushed out. So the entire community and their livestock drank their fill.But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them!”✓  IT'S BUILDING IDENTITY AROUND OUTRAGE.Ecclesiastes 7:9 (NIV) Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.✓  IT CAN STUNT OUR EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH.I Peter 2:21-23 (TLB) Christ, who suffered for you, is your example. Follow in his steps: He never sinned, never told a lie, never answered back when insulted; when he suffered he did not threaten to get even; he left his case in the hands of God who always judges fairly.LEARNING TO LISTENI. WALK IN HUMILITY.Humility says: “I might not have the whole story.”Proverbs 18:13 (NIV) To answer before listening - that is folly and shame.Proverbs 18:13 (GNT) Listen before you answer. If you don't, you are being stupid and insulting.II. PRACTICE PATIENCE.Patience says: “Understanding takes time.”Proverbs 14:29 (NIV) Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.III. CHOOSE LOVE.Love says: “You matter enough for me to slow down.”Ephesians 4:2 (NLT) Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.

In Plain Sight with Mark Hulsewe Filmmaker, Speaker, and Advocate Scarlett's guest is Mark Hulsewe—a filmmaker, speaker, and advocate who is working to change the way we think about bullying, violence, and school safety. Drawing from his own lived experience as a victim of bullying, Mark focuses on proactive, human-centered solutions. He speaks about leadership, empathy, and practical frameworks like the HERO Protocol, which aim to rewire how schools and communities respond to pain—before it turns into harm. Mark is the creator of the short film In Plain Sight, which has been recognized at film festivals for its powerful storytelling and its unflinching look at the human cost of bullying. He is also a TEDx speaker, known for his talk “The Great Rescue: Ending School Shootings,” where he explores how violence is often the tragic downstream effect of unresolved pain, exclusion, and bullying—and how prevention is possible. Mark's work asks an important and hopeful question: What if preventing violence isn't about fear and force, but about connection, compassion, and courageous leadership?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nicholas Adkins, founder of Pink Socks Life, to unpack a simple but high impact idea. Show up with love and kindness in each now. Nick shares how a pair of knee high pink socks turned into an organic global kindness movement. From healthcare conferences to everyday moments on a bus or in a grocery line, the core message stays the same. Real connection beats nonstop connectivity. You will also hear a practical reset for caregivers and high performers who pour into everyone else. Start with self love. Then use small human moments to build the muscle of compassion, presence, and empathy. About the Guest: Nicholas Adkins is the founder of Pink Socks Life, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. He is also the author of Pink Socks. How a Pair of Socks Became a Symbol of Love and Connection. Over 300,000 pairs of pink socks have been gifted worldwide as a signal for belonging, kindness, and human connection. Key Takeaways: Pink Socks Life started as a simple conference strategy. Gift fun pink socks. Start conversations. Build real relationships that scale into community. The “movement” became organic when strangers in places like the Netherlands and Wales sourced pink socks to support health causes and connection. “Heartspeak” is what happens when you slow down, look someone in the eyes, and make space for their story with empathy and no judgment. Connection is different from connectivity. Phones, apps, and social platforms are tools. Real connection is presence, listening, and shared humanity. Kindness is not soft. It is operational leadership. One sincere conversation can shift a room, a workplace culture, or a hospital hallway. Love and fear show up in every moment. You choose. Love looks like compassion, patience, forgiveness, and cooperation. Fear looks like anger and shame. The real gift is not the socks. The real gift is holding space for another human, especially when they are carrying grief or struggle. If you are great at caring for others but bad at caring for yourself, start with one micro habit. Give yourself grace. Then practice love in low stakes moments. End of day reflection builds self awareness. Where did I choose love today. Where did I miss it. What will I try in the next now.

Send us a textWhen betrayal detonates in a relationship, it doesn't just break trust—it distorts time, identity, and daily rhythms. We open up about the questions women ask in the aftermath: how to stop comparing yourself to “the other woman,” whether the marriage you remember was ever real, why love can survive alongside anger, and how to hear your intuition again when trauma has turned the volume up on fear.Across the conversation, we ground big emotions in clear, practical steps. You'll learn why affairs live in a neurochemical fantasy that isn't about your worth, how to reclaim your timeline without erasing the joy you truly felt, and what it means to separate love from harmful behavior. We dig into the markers of genuine repair—remorse, consistent action, and movement—and teach a simple filter for decisions: do I feel safe, seen, and supported? We also walk through micro-practices that rebuild self-trust, from keeping small promises to replacing busyness with calming rituals that let your inner compass speak.If you're wrestling with “Am I staying for love or fear?” we offer a framework to spot fear talk, assess who's doing the work, and give yourself time unless there's danger. The goal isn't perfection; it's steadiness. You're allowed to choose a future that protects your peace, whether that means rebuilding together with accountability or charting a new path with courage. Listen for validation, leave with tools, and remember: compassion and curiosity are your best allies in healing.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools.

Jessica Dibb, author of Breathworks and Psychotherapy: Clinical Applications for Healing and Transformation Scarlett and Jessica discuss the practice of breathing and its importance in the process of choosing love. When we consciously breathe, we can have a physiological experience of feeling love. Jessica offers compelling reasons to integrate the power of breathwork with psychotherapy and other healing and wellness practices. Each full breath we take has a beneficial impact and it only takes 7 minutes a day to practice breathwork. If we take that full breath consciously, with awareness, the benefits are exponentially increased. Conscious breathing is a powerful mechanism for transforming our physiological, emotional, and brain states, and is the fastest way to cultivate integrated presence.  Learn more About Scarlett here: https://chooselovemovement.org/

This is number 28 of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. This practice is simple, pointed, and powerful. It takes courage to love, to be honest, to understand another person, and yourself. Here you're invited to notice your sticking points, places where you hold on, become overly insistent, or pull back too far, and to meet those places with courage.These practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it. Based on the teachings of Adyashanti, they can be used alone or as a companion to his audio series, The 30-Day Wake Up Challenge, or his book, The Direct Way: 30 Practices to Evoke Awakening. This meditation correlates to Day 28. In some cases, the meditations are also loosely inspired by the teachings of Andrew Holecek, Pema Chodron, and Eckhart Tolle.  I hope you enjoy.Music and audio by Eric Fischer. Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

Are you afraid? Listen and be encouraged!

It's been a hellish week for our Disunited Kingdom. First Tommy Robinson mobilised ten of thousands in his ‘Unite the Kingdom' march. Before we could recover from that toxic side show,  the headline act arrived: President Trump.  He was kept behind a ring of steel in Windsor where he enjoyed British brown nosing at its best from flatterers-in-chief, the Royal Family. What a state we're in.  Coco and Nish reflect on what they learned about their fellow Brits this week and the conclusion is scary. But before they abandon hope there was another march. Thousands of ‘Stop Trump' protestors came out onto the streets of London - to hear from a range of the UK's  loudest progressive voices, from Zarah Sultana, to Zack Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn. Two protests, two faces of Britain. Can we ever bridge the divide?  Finally - to round off the show, an injection of hope. Josie Naughton CEO of charity ‘Choose Love' joins the pod to show us that there definitely is a way through this.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines out of Las Vegas, where an Israeli official was arrested for soliciting a minor, alongside lighter coverage of Snoop Dogg making the news for smoking marijuana. The tone pivots quickly to comedy as Dave recounts performing for 17,000 fans in Detroit alongside Shane Gillis, reflecting on the differences between intimate clubs, theaters, and massive arenas. From there, the conversation moves into sports and spectacle, revisiting the infamous Malice at the Palace with Ron Artest, debates over male cheerleaders in the NFL, and UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis. Wrestling legends including Diamond Dallas Page, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, The Undertaker, Roddy Piper, and Dave Bautista all come up. The crew then explores music and pop culture, from DJ Jazzy Jeff and New Kids on the Block to Will Smith's troubled freestyle, Shia LaBeouf's eclectic performances, and the value of great movie soundtracks. They also riff on NFL end zone slogans like “End Racism,” revisit 1990s fashion trends such as frosted tips and puka shells, and discuss scandals involving Bob Crane, Patrice O'Neal's comedy legacy, and the Natalie Holloway case.Today's guest on "Normal World" is Gerard Michaels.

Choose love over fear. It's more than a feel-good mantra. It's a radical leadership choice that can transform teams, ignite innovation, and turn crisis into opportunity. Washington Speakers Bureau President Ryan Heil has built his career proving that love, not fear, is the real competitive advantage in business and life. In this episode of Reflect Forward: Advice for Leaders, I sit down with Ryan to unpack how this philosophy has shaped his journey from professional baseball to earning a PhD in organizational culture, co-authoring Choose Love Not Fear with his father, and leading a major turnaround at one of the most influential organizations in the speaking industry. We explore why choosing love over fear creates stronger teams, deeper trust, and cultures that can adapt to disruption—plus how Ryan and his team navigated the pandemic's devastating impact on the speaking industry to emerge stronger than ever. Key Takeaways: • Love is a leadership strategy – Choosing love over fear builds trust, engagement, and sustainable performance. • Fear-based leadership fails in the long run – It may get short-term compliance, but it erodes creativity, passion, and loyalty. • Creative abrasion fuels innovation – Healthy conflict, when guided with respect, produces better ideas and stronger solutions. • Culture change starts one belief at a time – Turnarounds require relentless clarity on values, vision, and “why.” • Relationships are the real currency – They outlast trends, technologies, and even market disruptions. • Crisis is a catalyst for reinvention – Use uncertainty to question old assumptions and build better ways forward. • Your team may not always love you back – But consistent, steady leadership earns respect and trust over time. Mic Drop Moments: • “It's easy to lead with fear. But fear makes us dumber. Love unleashes human potential.” • “We don't have speaker contracts—we have handshakes. Integrity is the glue that holds our relationships together.” • “Success is temporary. So is failure. The real skill is knowing how to pivot fast.” • “AI can recommend a speaker, but it can't tell you who will stay after the keynote to shake every hand.” • “Love your team even when they don't love you back. That's leadership.” Connect with Ryan: • Connect with Ryan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanmheil/ • Learn more about Washington Speakers Bureau: https://www.wsb.com/ • Get the book Choose Love Not Fear: https://www.amazon.com/Choose-Love-Not-Fear-Engagement/dp/1734105135 Connect with Kerry Don't forget to subscribe to Reflect Forward on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube.

In our pursuit of greatness in God's eyes, we tend to imagine following Jesus into ever-increasing, upward levels of maturity. In this program, Chip poses the fascinating premise that we actually follow Jesus, descending into greatness.How do we measure greatness?Power = Who and what we controlPossessions = What and how much we ownPosition = Our rank in the pecking orderPrestige = Who and how many “look up” to usProductivity = What and how much we accomplishHow do we obtain greatness?Two pathways to greatness: Ascending and descendingTrue greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4How do you experience true greatness?One word = Humility (Humility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God's love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.)How to be authentically humble:Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ's “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6We become truly great when we embrace Christ's “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7We become truly great when we embrace Christ's “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8We experience the reward of true greatness when we follow Christ's example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions"I Choose Joy" Book"I Choose Joy" Home Church StudyMid Year MatchMid Year MatchConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
