In 1985, 67% of Americans rated pastors high in honesty and ethics. Today? Just 27% - and only 17% among those under 35. It's one of the steepest trust declines of any profession. The question isn't if this affects your church - it does. The question is what you do about it. ============================= Table of Contents: ============================= 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - The Numbers Are Worse Than You Think 3:38 - Why This Happened 13:18 - How to Rebuild Trust Through Communications THE 167 NEWSLETTER
What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and your next breakthrough isn't a lack of effort, motivation, or strategy—but the fact that you're solving the wrong problem? In this eye-opening episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with entrepreneur, business strategist, author, and coach Kevin St. Clergy to explore the powerful concept of Blind Blaming—the hidden habit of misdiagnosing problems and focusing on symptoms instead of root causes. Kevin shares his remarkable journey from audiologist to multi-million-dollar business owner, revealing how he built and sold a thriving marketing and coaching company, overcame personal and professional setbacks, and developed a transformational framework that is now helping entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders create lasting change. From mindset and business growth to health challenges like sleep apnea and hormone imbalances, this conversation uncovers how blind spots can quietly sabotage success—and how coaches can better serve clients by identifying what's really holding them back. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What "Blind Blaming" is and how it affects business, health, relationships, and personal growth Kevin's incredible journey from audiologist to successful entrepreneur and business coach The life-changing childhood experience that inspired his book Beyond Blind Blaming Why solving the wrong problem keeps people stuck for years How coaches can uncover the true root causes behind client struggles The surprising health issue Kevin mistook for ADHD Why mindset often matters more than tactics when pursuing health and business goals The power of coaching, mentorship, and mastermind groups How to avoid analysis paralysis and build momentum through decisive action Why many health coaches fail to address mindset and identity shifts in their clients The role of sleep, hormones, and hidden health issues in weight loss resistance How limiting beliefs and self-sabotage impact business growth Practical ways coaches can improve client results by asking better questions Kevin's RCD Framework for Breaking Free from Blind Blaming One of the highlights of this episode is Kevin's simple yet powerful RCD Method: R – Reflect Ask yourself: "Is there something else going on that I can't see?" Before jumping to conclusions, take a step back and evaluate whether you're addressing the true source of the problem. C – Connect Seek outside perspective through: Coaches Mentors Mastermind groups Healthcare professionals Trusted advisors Often, the solution is hidden because you're too close to the situation to recognize it yourself. D – Decide Kevin's favorite version: MFD – Make a F*ing Decision** Progress requires action. Even if the decision isn't perfect, momentum creates clarity and opens the door for course correction. Why This Episode Matters for Health Coaches Health coaches often focus on nutrition plans, workouts, accountability, and behavior change. But as Kevin explains, many clients are unknowingly battling deeper issues such as: Sleep apnea Hormonal imbalances Limiting beliefs Identity conflicts Self-sabotage Poor mindset conditioning Without addressing these root causes, even the best coaching programs can struggle to deliver lasting results. This episode provides a valuable framework for helping clients uncover what is really standing in their way. Memorable Quotes from Kevin St. Clergy "People aren't failing at solving their problems—they're solving the wrong problem perfectly." "Every new level has a new devil." "When you know who you serve, you're not selling anymore. You're interviewing." "Reflect. Connect. Make a decision." Final Thoughts Whether you're a health coach, entrepreneur, consultant, or someone striving to reach the next level in life, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that lasting transformation starts by identifying the right problem. If you've ever felt stuck despite working hard, Kevin's Blind Blaming framework may be the missing piece you've been looking for. Listen Now Tune in to discover how uncovering hidden blind spots can transform your health, business, relationships, and overall success—and learn why the question, "What am I not seeing?" may be the most important question you'll ever ask.

Assistant Coach and podcast favorite Trevor Hogg returns to the Bench for this David-hosted game to team with Snyder to take on the team of Scott and Markkus. At the beginning of the game, Scott is happier to see David than he is with his new marriage - but that changes over the course of the game. Scott & Markkus figure it out early when they try to get inside David's head to second-guess his questions. Big shoutout later to Marfan Syndrome (don't ask!), and of course to Rabbi Rainwater.
