... or how I traveled with kids on summer break, and all I got was this grape snow cone. This week, the Dads talk about the season of family vacations. While these trips are a tremendous amount of work, all the research and our lasting memories suggest that, although these journeys aren't exactly vacations, the family trip is incredibly valuable to the family unit. This episode explores some of the research — both academic and anecdotal — that supports our theory that these trips are great for families (if only in the long term), as well as some of the great country songs that can help us through the grind of the summer family vacation or family trip.Show Notes01:08: How do we define the family trip vs. a vacation? Well, Google and the all-powerful AI summary help us out by delivering a clear and concise explanation. 02:08: Benefits of a Family Trip: While it's exhausting, research seems to back the idea of taking a family trip. It keeps our family talking, helps our kids learn and enhances the bond between partners, no matter what was said when the directions were not followed exactly. 03:58: The Brutality of Traveling With Children: As a Stay-at-Home-Dad and “Default Parent,” Dave feels that family trips are often like business trips. So it's just parenting on the road as you deal with the “brutality of traveling with children.”06:28: Content Warning: The first mention of vomit. 08:33: Content Warning: The second mention of vomit.9:39: Content Warning: The third mention of vomit.11:35: Family Team-Building on the Family Trip: The idea of working together as a family during these trips helps the family grow together -- working as a team makes you a better family. 12:46: Dave's Notorious Family Trip to Sequoia National Park and the Fisher Price Toy Lantern.14:50: What is the best place to stay during a family trip? The rental house vs the hotel seems to be the debate. While the space and privacy seem to win out, the breakfast buffet is a huge plus.20:40: Do Family Trips Need to Be Educational? Research suggests that educational trips make kids smarter, but do trips need to be explicitly educational for kids to extract value from the trip? The Dads touch on how just changing it up a bit, doing things you want to do and working through the difficulties on the road provides the real educational value — and how Dad Stories (read: lies about things on the side of the road) are critical. 27:32: Content Warning: The fourth mention of vomit. 29:50: Conquering the Family Trip: The Dads discuss packing, planning spreadsheets, and other key tactics. 32:19: Content Warning: The fifth mention of vomit, and this one is intense. 33:14: Giving our Kids a 90s Summer: Is this possible? Should it be? 40:27: The Songs of the Summer: The Dads debate the greatest country music for the summer. As well as a few songs for cleaning up vomit. 51:17: Change My Mind: Donnie attempts to change Dave's mind about using profanity in front of the kids. It's a great f**ing conversation.

“I feel guilty to charge [money] for what I love to do…one woman said, ‘They should pay you because it's your gift, you shouldn't feel guilty about it.'”Few stories capture the grit and transformation behind a speaking business like Stephanie Dauphin's journey. This week, Grant Baldwin chats with Stephanie on The Speaker Lab podcast about investing over a decade in her craft—often speaking for free, wrangling self-doubt, and struggling with the idea that meaningful, joyful work can (and should) be well-paid.Her turning point wasn't just learning how to market herself or build a keynote. It was doing the mindset work: identifying and letting go of limiting beliefs around money, motherhood, and self-worth, many rooted in her upbringing. Stephanie is honest about the messy process, the fear of charging what you're worth, and the inner resistance that can sabotage your best opportunities.What shines through is her hard-earned wisdom: fulfillment comes from embracing your gifts, serving others, and having the courage to genuinely value yourself. Stephanie's story is proof that your passion deserves to be your profession—and that the most important shift is believing you're worth every bit of it. If you're doubting what's possible, let Stephanie's journey remind you that building your dream starts with betting on yourself, even when the path forward is unclear.You'll learn:How authority can be a speaker's assetThe challenges of remote work and its effect on workplace relationshipsIssues around charging for speaking engagementsStrategies for overcoming mindset obstaclesStephanie's experience with The Speaker LabAbout building a mailing list and using content to generate referralsThe importance of designing a speaking career around family needsStep for self-developmentAnd much, much more!“More and more people are working remotely, and it has a big effect on team cohesion.”Episode ResourcesStephanie's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this special Bonus Interview, Zacca sits down with Run2PB Coach Andy Buchanan to break down his big weekend where . celebrated back-to-back Gold Coast Half Marathon titles, and now holds the record for the fastest half marathon on Australian soil (1:01:08)(0:00 - 3:10) Introduction Andy candidly reflects on a challenging period post-London Marathon and a disappointing 8th-place finish at Launceston, admitting a loss of confidence. His coach, Scotty Westcott, provided crucial perspective, reminding Andy of his recent marathon volume (4 marathons in 12 months) and confirming that the dip in form was explainable, not a fundamental decline. This period served as motivation, with Andy trusting the process and his coach to rebuild. He even used a strong K. rep session posted on Strava as a "flex" to remind competitors he was "still here" after Launceston.(3:11 - 11:59) Reflecting on Recent Form & MotivationRace morning at Gold Coast saw nerves, "definitely more than the year before", but also unique dynamics. Andy arrived early at 4:45 AM, experiencing minimal banter among the elite field. He describes Brett Robinson's aggressive early lead as a "big move," which he strategically chose not to cover immediately, saving energy. During the middle section, self-doubt crept in, with thoughts of "maybe today isn't my day" flashing back to Launceston. He combated this by distracting himself with crowd support, which was "unbelievable" this year, and focusing on other runners coming the opposite way.(12:00 - 32:50) How the race unfoldedAndy's decisive move came around 19.5K, catching the leaders and using smart course navigation. He exploited a "laughable" strategic advantage on a sharp left-hand bend by taking the inside line while his competitors ran wider, putting him suddenly in the lead. This "second chance" mindset, knowing he'd nearly lost the race earlier, fueled his final surge. He attempted a big push around 500m to go, which left him "so cooked" , but then employed a "bluff" to secure the win, subtly pushing to make others consolidate their positions.(32:51 - 42:01) The Decisive Move & The FinishCrossing the line, Andy didn't immediately know his record-breaking time or that he had won. The moments directly after finishing were among the "best I've felt in the finish line" and "proudest I've been of myself" recently. He greatly appreciated Pat Carroll's personal congratulations on breaking his 33-year-old record, making the morning even more special. Looking ahead, Andy is embarking on heat training in Cairns as part of his preparation for World Champs in Japan, planning his travel and training blocks with Athletics Australia's support. He continues to benefit from the supportive "group chat" among Australian marathoners for advice.(42:02 - End) Post-Race Emotions & Future Plans

SummaryIn this episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen answer listener questions in a fun and helpful Q&A session. They start by talking about the difference between guilt and shame. Guilt can actually help us see when we made a choice that doesn't match our goals, but shame makes us feel bad about who we are. The guys explain why a little guilt is okay, but shame can stop us from getting help or making progress. They also answer questions like: How can what you do to lose weight be the same as what you do to keep it off? What should you focus on if you're single after a long marriage? What should you do if you're tracking your food but still feel hungry? And how do you focus on fat loss when you're super tired after work? Chase and Chris give real tips on how to handle these challenges while keeping your health goals in mind.Chapters(00:00) Guilt vs. Shame: What's the Difference?(05:23) Do You Have to Keep Doing What You Did to Lose Weight?(12:30) Single After 28 Years: Now What?(15:12) Tracking Food but Still Hungry?

Your mind is a battlefield—time to win the war. Negative thoughts are more than a nuisance—they're poison to your peace, your faith, and your future. But Jesus didn't save you so you could live stuck in anxiety, depression, or a hopeless mindset.In this powerful, practical message, Lead Pastor Ryan Visconti breaks down how to conquer negative thoughts before they conquer you.

Southeast Baptist Podcast features the preaching and teaching of Pastor John Ray, the senior pastor of Southeast Baptist Tabernacle in Indianapolis, IN. His preaching is biblical, conversational, and encouraging as you pursue a Christlike walk.

As we look at the present season, one of the things God has been highlighting to the elders is the story of the ten spies in Exodus 13. Two spies wanted to advance in God's promises, while ten wanted to shrink back. The outcome for each was vastly different.How do we cultivate a “two-spy” attitude and heart? A conquering attitude? We cannot have any other attitude for the present season, or we, like the ten, will perish!

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation 6 and the opening of the first of seven seals, introducing the rider on the white horse. Chris explains the significance of the sealed scroll and emphasizes that only Jesus, the Lamb of God, has the authority to begin this end-time unveiling. He explores different interpretations of the rider's identity: some suggest the spread of the gospel or even Jesus himself, but Chris argues these don't fit the context or details. Instead, he suggests the rider is best understood as the Antichrist, a figure who will appear to bring peace but ultimately unleashes chaos, war, and destruction as described by the following horsemen. Drawing from related prophecies in Daniel and 2 Thessalonians, Chris explains the Antichrist's deceptive rise and the importance of spiritual discernment. Chris cautions against guessing which current leader might be the Antichrist, reminding believers that their focus should be on Jesus, not on fear or speculation. He reassures the congregation that Christians, empowered by the Holy Spirit, play a restraining role against evil and many believe they will be taken to be with Christ before the worst comes. The sermon concludes by urging listeners to place their hope not in earthly leaders or “knights on white horses,” but in Jesus Christ the true and victorious rider who alone brings hope, justice, and peace.

The Cello Sherpa Podcast Host, Joel Dallow, interviews cellist Emilio Colón. Emilio is Professor of Cello at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. After getting off to a rocky start with his teacher Janos Starker, Emilio talks about how he felt that he was dead last amongst his peers on the cello, which in turn motivated him to work as hard as he could to prove that he had what it took to be successful. Shortly after graduating from Indiana, Janos Starker called him and invited him back to join the cello faculty of his alma mater, making him the second youngest professor ever selected to teach at the Jacobs School of Music, at the age of 26.   For more information on Emilio: https://emiliocolon.com/You can also find Emilio on Instagram and Facebook: @colon_emilioIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com 

Gresham Harkless shares the challenges he faces in maintaining focus as increasing daily distractions and obligations make it more difficult to keep moving toward his goals.   He highlights the exhaustion that comes from constantly juggling priorities — family, business, leadership, and how that often leads people to choose more stable paths like traditional jobs.   Gresham reflects on the difficulty of committing to new opportunities, especially when results aren't guaranteed, and how it requires a leap of faith.    Gresham emphasizes the value of getting just 1% better each day and embracing the long game, recognizing that real success comes through steady effort, adaptation, and an honest acknowledgment of life's challenges.

A retired police captain turned artist, Jennifer Steck realized she didn't have to wait for opportunities to come to her—she could create them. Seeing a gap in what was available for artists to sell their work, Jennifer founded Artburst Studios, an online gallery that's part pop-up show and part community hub for artists. She had zero experience running a gallery, but that didn't stop her. Armed with curiosity, a clear vision, and plenty of determination, Jennifer (at the time of this recording) has helped over 80 artists sell more than $174,000 of art in just a few years. In this episode, she shares how a simple idea (and a lot of spreadsheets!) grew into a platform connecting artists with buyers and each other. In this conversation, host Alyson Stanfield talks with Jennifer about: Her “aha” moment as a new artist that inspired an artist-centered online gallery. The key qualities Jennifer looks for (like clarity, consistency, and an active practice) when reviewing an artist's online presence—and what might make her pass. Why community and collaboration are baked into the Artburst model, and how they benefit every artist involved. Strategies for overcoming artists' reluctance to promote their work and engage their audiences. How fear, perfectionism, and overthinking can sabotage art sales—and ways to avoid these common pitfalls. ⌛️ HIGHLIGHTS 00:35 Meet Jennifer Steck – From police captain to artist entrepreneur. 06:00 The “aha” moment – How a Facebook art auction sparked the idea for Artburst Studios. 10:30 Running a virtual art show – Artburst's short pop-up exhibitions and the importance of artists actively promoting their work. 13:45 Emphasizing community – Encouraging artists to support one another and provide great experiences for their buyers. 16:00 Choosing the right artists – What Jennifer looks for online (and the red flags that make her say “no thanks”). 22:10 Personal touch in sales – How Artburst handles sales and gets artists directly connected with their buyers. 26:30 Why artists resist marketing – Understanding the stigma around self-promotion and how Jennifer helps artists move past it. 35:00 Conquering common mindset blocks – Tackling fear of exposure, perfectionism, and “analysis paralysis” that can hold artists back. 40:00 Looking ahead – Jennifer's plans to launch the Artburst Boutique for smaller, more frequent art shows. 44:00 Final encouragement – An open invitation for artists to get involved, and why showing up (like attending shows) is so important before seeking opportunities.

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless opens up about the mental and emotional weight that comes with building a business from the ground up.   Gresham discusses the internal battles — self-doubt, exhaustion, and the fading excitement that often follow the initial momentum of launching a business.   Despite investing time, money, and energy, he feels behind where he thought he'd be, especially while juggling personal responsibilities like parenthood, marriage, and managing a 15-person team.   Gresham emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and personal accountability, questioning not just whether he has done the work, but whether he has been operating at his full potential.

China, famously, built the Great Wall to defend against nomadic groups from the Eurasian steppe. For two millennia, China interacted with groups from the north: The Xiongnu, the Mongols, the Manchus, and the Russians. They defended against raids, got invaded by the north, and tried to launch diplomatic relations. John Man, in his book Conquering the North: China, Russia, Mongolia: 2,000 Years of Conflict (Oneworld Publications, 2025), takes on this long history, combining it with his own on-the-ground experience seeing some of this history for himself. He starts with the Xiongnu—a nomadic group that's so unknown, historically, that we're forced to use the pejorative Chinese term for them—all the way to the Second World War, and the seminal Battle of Khalkin Gol, which halted the Japanese advance into Northern Asia. John Man is a historian specializing in Mongolia and the relationship between Mongol and Chinese cultures. He studied Mongolian as a post-graduate, and after a brief career in journalism and publishing, he turned to writing. John's books have been published in over twenty languages around the world and include bestselling biographies of Chinggis Khan, Kublai Khan, and Attila the Hun, as well as histories of the Great Wall of China and the Mongolian Empire.

More Than Conquerors - Conquering the Spirit of Bondage - Live from ATL - Bishop Kevin Foreman

In Episode 37 of Y-Chromes, CannCon and Cam Cooksey kick off the show with a candid conversation about health, discipline, and personal accountability. They share their own struggles with consistency, the pressure to maintain physical wellness, and how mental roadblocks often sabotage progress more than anything external. The episode explores the importance of establishing structure, dealing with the temptation to quit, and finding motivation even when energy is low. With humor and unfiltered honesty, they reflect on the internal battles men face, especially the fear of failure and the voice of self-doubt that creeps in when the world feels overwhelming. This episode is a raw, real look at what it means to fight for control of your body, mind, and habits, and why it's worth it.

What does it take for two busy working moms to conquer one of the fastest-growing fitness challenges in the world? With host coach David Syvertsen @davesy85, Keren McKinney @kerenmckinney and Ashley Syvertsen @ashleyann522 pull back the curtain on their recent High Rocks race experience in New York City, revealing the reality behind the Instagram-worthy finish line photos.The conversation dives deep into what truly matters when preparing for such a physically demanding event. Keren, a former college soccer player and nurse with four children, paired with Ashley, who readily admits "I don't run, I don't like to run" to tackle what they describe as a race that's "90 percent running." Their candid discussion about training strategies uncovers a crucial insight: success came from adding specialized Sunday sessions focused specifically on transitioning between running and workout stations—the exact format they'd face on race day.Most compelling is their approach to teamwork. Rather than simply splitting the work evenly, they strategically played to each other's strengths. "I would come in and do the station and then be able to rest before the run was huge for us," Ashley explains, while Keren acknowledges, "I need to train harder next year because I was so gassed after a couple of the stations, being the one having to run again." This honest assessment of their partnership demonstrates the thoughtful planning required for team success.Beyond physical preparation, they share the logistical challenges rarely discussed—from not knowing their heat time until three days before the race to walking "5,000 steps looking for water" at the venue. Their running splits reveal remarkable consistency throughout the race, maintaining nearly identical lap times from start to finish despite fatigue.The most powerful moment? Crossing the finish line hand-in-hand after pushing each other past their perceived limits. "There were times in the race when I wanted to walk because I was so tired, but I'm not going to walk because Ashley's not going to walk," Keren reflects. They're already planning next year's race, with improved strategies and faster targets.Ready to take on your own fitness challenge?

Erase your doubts when it comes to life’s ultimate question: Do I have eternal life? In this message, we’ll see what fruits those who really have Heaven awaiting them bear. Notes: Focus verse - 1 John 5 READ: 1 John 5 (NKJV) #1 Marks of a True Believer The Greek word John used here is “nikao.” Conquering will not be proven by your arrogance, words, or feelings, it will be proven by your actions. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.Romans 8:37 (NKJV) READ: 1 John 5:1–2 • Faith that Jesus is the Christ, and that He is the Son of God • Love for God and His people • Obedience to the Word READ: 1 John 5:3 (NKJV) How you know: Faith, love, and obedience ... These are not prerequisites to being saved. They are products of being born again. #2 The Evidence for Our Faith1 John 5:6–12 The Water, the Blood, and the Spirit Incarnation is the doctrine that Jesus was fully God and fully man. You don’t just know about the truth… you feel it, sense it, and live it. Do you have the Son?1 John 5:12 Jesus is not a step in the process.He is the whole process. #3 Standing in Victory1 John 5:13–21 Confidence in salvation gives you confidence in prayer. Prayer isn’t about getting what we want; it’s about aligning with what God wants. READ: 1 John 5:16–17 If you are standing in victory, you need to help pull others out of defeat.
