Podcasts about control freaks

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming is a USA Today, LA Times, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller! www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest - Mark Pincus is the founder of Zynga, the social gaming company he built from zero to $12.7 billion, pioneering a category that generated over a billion app installs and introduced hundreds of millions of people to online play. He's a serial founder who has started ten companies, taught product development at Stanford, and made early seed investments in Facebook and Twitter. His new book is Life at the Speed of Play. Key Learnings Coaches are cheat codes. Mark has hired a surfing coach, a tennis coach, a chess coach, a life coach, and the legendary Bill Campbell. None of them were assigned to him. He went and found them. "You throw to where you swing. You don't swing to where you throw." His tennis coach, Jorge, on learning how to serve. Commit to the natural swing first. You'll miss. You'll look stupid. Eventually your brain realizes you're serious and puts the ball where it belongs. You play to get better. You don't play to win. Not this point. Not this match. What am I doing right now that makes me better in the next game? Kill the ego so it gets out of the way of you being humble and curious. Don't contort the organization around one talented jerk. Colleen McCreary, Zynga's chief people officer, kept a sign on her wall: "No jerks allowed." She once vetoed an acquisition because she believed the founder was toxic. When the organization sees you refuse to bend just to win one point, they build muscle and confidence too. You'll have periods out of alignment. That's okay. Sometimes the person is in a crucial seat and you can't swap them tomorrow. What matters is that you're aligned with the philosophy. Bill Campbell's two lessons: intellectual honesty and courage. Be committed to the deep truths above everything else, and say them to your team even when it hurts. Then have the courage to stand up to your own team, your own board, and your own investors. A well-run company is a democratic dictatorship. Campbell leaned heavily on the dictatorship half. Unapologetically. The flip side of ambition is sacrifice. Everyone says they're a ten out of ten on ambition.  Mark's test: would you toil in obscurity for the next ten years, nobody respecting what you're doing, for an 80 or 90 percent chance at something bigger than your wildest dreams? Or take the 80 percent chance at a respectable single and a pat on the back? Nobody believes in us as much as we do. That's why we become founders. At 41, VCs who had already backed Mark twice told him he was too old, too rich, and too settled to go all in on Zynga. Mark isn't all in until he is. He calls it a lazy on-ramp to curiosity. Lots of projects. Looking for signals in a lot of places. Processing. Then it flips. "When the fish are running, we're up all night throwing nets until they're done running, not until we're tired." The chess lesson: play boring. His chess coach told him if you want to beat a player rated much higher than you, play boring and conservative and let them make the mistake. He started doing it. He started winning. Your kids don't follow what you say. They follow what you do. Mark set out to be a different kind of dad than his own, who measured people by their résumé. Then he watched his 15-year-old daughter spend every waking minute with math tutors before leaving on a service trip. "How did we get here? Oh, I know how we got here. They're not listening to what Dad says. They're following what Dad does." Happiness comes from feeling useful to a community you care about. Not from being useful. From feeling it. That's Alfred Adler, by way of The Courage to Be Disliked. There are two levels of success. A life well lived is a life in alignment with what only you can bring to the world. You don't have to build Google to feel like you went for it. The ultimate success is the greatest instantiation of your talents. Use money as freedom, not lifestyle. When Freeloader sold and 28-year-old Mark had more money than he'd ever imagined, he made a list of everything he was going to buy. It totaled about $9,000. He put leather interior in his Pathfinder. He still has the vehicle.  He set a $500 million goal that had nothing to do with buying things. At a net worth around $15 million, working with a life coach, he wrote it down because that's the capital required to run a studio of teams chasing many ideas without going to anyone else with hat in hand. "Creatively, that's freedom." Retirement is spiritual death. The stretches between building things are what Mark calls the abyss. Once you've felt the high of building with a great team and shipping something into users' hands every week, it ruins you. You can't be happy with less. Over-fund the things that matter. Not every day is the same. Not every life moment is the same. When one of those moments comes, put all your best players on the ice. The Allen & Company investor tour. They told Mark it was a dog and pony show. Just shake some hands. He told his team: this is our IPO, this is our roadshow, and we are going to use every minute of it the way we want. He gave the biggest public market investors a full presentation, handed them his numbers, and told them to judge him against those numbers in a year. He met with them a year later and had crushed them. King for a day. Carol Bartz brought Mark in to talk to Yahoo's entire senior management. He spent two weeks building a presentation on how he'd run Yahoo if he were king for a day, stood up, and took over the room for an hour. They got a deal done and one person in that room came to work for him. He ran the same play on the CEO of AMEX with a credit card that competed on fun. Amex spent $75 million with them. Seven minutes with Obama became 45. Mark was told the President would ask about his kids and then the meeting would be over. He walked in with a PowerPoint on the ten bold objectives he'd run on if he were president. Obama went through the entire thing and then asked what else he had. Prepare as hard for everything going right as you do for everything going wrong. Mark had under-prepared for the version of where Obama said, "Yeah, I'm buying. What else you got?" We sleepwalk through our own biggest moments. The question isn't what's the agenda or why they want to meet with you. It's: I have five minutes with the king. What is theoretically possible here? The Book of Life. Every year during the Jewish New Year, Mark writes in the same book. Only during that window. It isn't a journal. It's a spiritual board meeting with himself. He reads back through every previous year first, then writes. Partner with your future self. "What will Mark 2030 thank me for doing right now?" It started with quitting smoking. October 19, 1994. "I pulled my own power back. If I can quit smoking and really commit to it, what else can I do?" A year later he quit his job and did something bigger. Even if you missed the big goal, ask what you actually did toward it. Did you talk about it? Did you do real things? Did you turn the boat toward it? If not, maybe you don't believe in the goal. When Mark is at his lowest, he's humbled, he picks achievable goals, and he finds the most grit. When he's winning, he picks stratospheric goals and does the worst. After his biggest successes, he isn't humble enough to succeed again, and he has to go through failure to reel himself back in. Mark's champagne moment a year from now: that the book connects for hundreds of thousands of people, and that he's built a product people find real meaning in. Reflection Questions If you went and hired a coach, who is the person who could most change your life right now?  What is your next high-stakes moment, and are you treating it like the dog and pony show or like your IPO? What is the one habit your future self would most thank you for making this year? What would it unlock if you actually committed to it?

Why do smart, capable people resist change even when it is good for them? In this episode of Unlocked, Dr. Rosie Ward, CEO of Salveo Partners and bestselling author of Future-Proofing Leadership and Rehumanizing the Workplace, explains what is really happening in our brains when change and uncertainty show up. Rosie reveals the seven "faulty programs" quietly running our inner operating systems: the counterfeit, the fraud, the overachiever, the perfectionist, the control freak, the mime, the people pleaser, and the martyr. She explores how these patterns can hijack leaders, teams, and entire workplace cultures, why change-management strategies fail without mindset work, and how one 100-year-old company moved from a decade of flat growth to record-breaking results by becoming intentional about its people.

Launching a new five-week series through the book of Ecclesiastes titled Stuck in a Moment, Pastor Scott Engebretson opens up the ancient wisdom text to address the very modern feelings of monotony, exhaustion, and feeling stuck in life. Scott breaks down the structure of Ecclesiastes—distinguishing between the narrator and the core monologue of "the teacher"—and explores two central concepts that frame the entire book: living "under the sun" and the Hebrew concept of hebel (often translated as meaningless, vanity, or vapor). Rather than viewing Ecclesiastes as a cynical treatise, Scott reframes it as a liberating gospel for control freaks. He presents four key invitations for navigating an unpredictable world: recognizing God's grace in every circumstance, releasing the anxiety of tomorrow, surrendering our idolatry of control, and learning to receive each brief moment as a gift.

This week, we kick off with the clothing item several high profile men have been getting out and about in, why we love Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, and the weirdly deceptive world of AI. Mel's daughter recently turned 18, and the control freak in her is struggling with a particular element of the upcoming party planning. There's also drinking culture, rigid thinking, and Monty shares another tear jerker poem about motherhood and letting go. Enjoy! Fancy supporting us on Patreon? Find out more here.

Who are you? Control Freak OR Being Controlled? How to be YOU, be in full control of your life, emotions, health and happiness, and NOT have other people control how you feel and what you do…

What happens when following Jesus doesn't look like what you signed up for? In this message, guest speaker Jeff Stemple picks up where last week's sermon left off — right at the moment in Matthew 16 where Jesus begins speaking plainly about suffering, rejection, and death, leaving his disciples confused, disappointed, and wrestling with their faith.From there, Jeff walks us into one of the most breathtaking moments in all of Scripture: the Transfiguration. In Matthew 17, just six days after that difficult conversation, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain — and what they witness there is God's direct answer to their confusion and disillusionment. His face shining like the sun, Moses and Elijah present, and a voice from heaven declaring the same words spoken at Jesus' baptism — with one powerful addition: Listen to him.That command is the heartbeat of this message. When the disciples were struggling most, God didn't offer an explanation. He gave a command. And that command still stands for us today.Jeff unpacks three ways we can get to a place of genuine, obedient listening: seeing Jesus for who he truly is (not merely who we want him to be), resisting our desire to control and manage our circumstances, and following Jesus back down the mountain into the ordinary obedience of everyday life.If you've ever felt disillusioned in your faith — like the experience isn't matching the advertisement — this message is for you.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

The gang is heading outside for Operation Food Search, and what should be a simple canned food drive somehow turns into a full-blown carnival complete with megaphones, competitive donation strategies, and Riz spiraling because someone else might have to run the show for a few minutes. Turns out our fearless leader may, in fact, be a tiny bit of a control freak. Tiny. Like, billboard-sized tiny.Then the crew tackles life's biggest questions: Why is Gen Z suddenly obsessed with Culver's? What fast-food logo deserves permanent tattoo status? And would you wear an actual diaper just to hold your spot in the front row of a concert? The answers somehow involve Daft Punk, Led Zeppelin, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and enough bathroom-related discussion to make everyone slightly uncomfortable.There's also a trip through celebrity news and pop culture chaos, including Apple Music's most-streamed artists, Olivia Rodrigo fans apparently treating concerts like endurance sports, Chris Pratt teaching American history with comedy, and Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally devastate all of us.Along the way, the crew pays tribute to entertainment legends, debates the most American songs of all time, and once again proves that no topic is too ridiculous for this show. One second it's Tom Hanks discussing a scene he can't watch in Cast Away, and the next it's arguing whether Free Fallin' is the perfect road-trip anthem.This is exactly what happens when a bunch of friends gather around microphones and let their brains go wherever they want. It's messy, sarcastic, occasionally heartfelt, and entirely unpredictable.In other words, it's your favorite daily comedy.Whether you're here for the celebrity gossip, the weird stories, the random debates, or simply to hear grown adults seriously discuss diaper strategy at concerts, this daily comedy delivers another beautifully chaotic episode.Thanks for hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy where every conversation somehow goes completely off the rails and everybody's invited.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Rosie Ward, Ph.D., author of Future-Proofing Leadership: Navigating Change and Disruption to Thrive in an Uncertain World. Together, they expose the hidden "stuckness zone"—the widening gap between an increasingly chaotic world and the ancient, self-protective biological hardwiring that causes leaders to freeze, panic, or micromanage when disruption hits. Dr. Ward peels back the corporate mask to share a deeply personal look into her own journey, proving that no one is entirely immune to the subtle internal biases that quietly sabotage our best strategic intentions. If you have ever felt completely overwhelmed by rapid organizational shifts or wondered why your team defaults to a state of defensive paralysis when under pressure, this eye-opening conversation is your ultimate invitation to upgrade your inner operating system. By exploring the core human challenges beneath corporate strategies, this episode maps out a practical blueprint for stepping away from fear-based habits and moving confidently into authentic, resilient execution.

ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US This week, Evan, Josh, Michael, and Paxton kick things off with plenty of laughs from VBS week, including church staff confessions about thermostat battles, driving preferences, dishwashing rules, and Josh's surprisingly controversial cake-cutting method. The conversation turns into a fun exploration of the little things people try to control and how those tendencies often reveal something deeper about the way we approach relationships and trust. The group then unpacks Paxton's message, Given in Love, from the Altered series. They discuss why healthy love requires open hands, how fear often fuels control, and what it looks like to bless people rather than try to manage them. Along the way, they reflect on parenting, ministry relationships, difficult life transitions, and the challenge of trusting God with the people we care about most.

Compulsive traits are often judged as rigid or unhealthy, but they originate in qualities that once helped humans survive. This essay reframes compulsiveness as an adaptive style—rooted in conscientiousness, focus, and persistence—and explores how these traits can become strengths when consciously directed. Through research, evolutionary psychology, and a clinical vignette, it shows how finding the right “calling” transforms compulsion from a burden into a gift.

Unlocking Emotional Freedom with April AdamsKelle Sparta hosts Spirit Sherpa with guest April Adams, an emotional health consultant who helps people—especially women who have done extensive conscious self-work—resolve persistent kneejerk reactions, negative thought loops, resentment, and somatic stress responses by using brief targeted interventions aimed at convincing the subconscious it is safe. They discuss why conscious logic alone doesn't stop emotional reactions, the need to trust practitioners, and how these methods can reduce “whack-a-mole” nervous system management. April shares plans for a public app and mini course (target spring 2026) and invites practitioners to her Therapy Results Accelerator community on Skool.Key Topics Include:HypnosisEMDRBilateral stimulationEFTNLPPattern interruptsNervous system managementAudio toolsConscious mindFear centerSubconscious triggersLimitations of logicEmotional reactions00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:38 April's Background and Method05:06 How It Differs From EMDR06:50 Control Freaks and Conscious Work10:32 Somatics and Root Healing13:01 Why Subconscious Is Key16:20 Trigger Example Empty Fridge18:15 Conscious Mind Resistance18:51 Subconscious In The Now19:29 Suggestibility After Healing21:35 Muscle Memory For Change22:09 Sacred Space Containers23:39 Hypnosis Risks And Myths24:35 Wakeful Hypnosis Method26:00 Labyrinth Ritual Parallels27:14 New Tools And App Launch30:48 Who These Tools Help33:58 Where To Find April35:16 Final TakeawayKeywords:subconscious mindemotional healinghow to stop triggersrewire your brainnervous system resetemotional regulation techniquestrauma healing techniquesstop negative thought loopssubconscious reprogrammingmindset transformationenergy healingspiritual growth podcastself improvement podcasthow to control emotionsoverthinking helpanxiety relief techniquessomatic healinghypnosis techniquesEMDR explainedbreak bad patternspersonal developmenthealing subconscious blocksspiritual coachinginner workself masterybrain retrainingemotional intelligencehigh performance mindsetshadow workhealing trauma faststop anxiety quicklymind body connectionspiritual awakeningholistic healingcoaching tools for therapiststherapy techniquesJoin the community on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KelleSpartaIf you would like to learn more please book a Discovery Call here: https://kellesparta.com/discovery-call/To find April Adams, you can go to the following locationsWebsite: https://www.apriladams.org/Tools will be up at re-mind.co once they're ready.Skool Course & Community: https://www.skool.com/therapy-results-accelerator-6778/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/consultapril OR https://www.facebook.com/adamsaprilInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/april.adams.emotion.coach/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/aprilladamsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/april-adams/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@apriladamsemotioncoachLicensing and Credits:“Spirit Sherpa” is the sole property of Kelle Sparta Enterprises and is distributed under a Creative Commons: BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

We spend so much energy trying to control everything around us, while neglecting the one thing God actually calls us to govern—ourselves. This message confronts the illusion of control and reveals that real freedom is not doing whatever you want, but becoming Spirit-empowered enough to say yes to what is right and no to what is destructive.

Old Testament Reading Psalm 37:1-17 (p. 466)

A Husky narrates a compassionate, humorous, and perceptive account of living with a human who has obsessive‑compulsive personality disorder traits. Through keen canine observation, the Husky contrasts natural dog instincts—flexibility, presence, connection—with the rigid routines, perfectionism, rationalization, and emotional struggles of the human world. The story explores themes of routine, control, relationships, emotional expression, and the possibility of change. Ultimately, the dog encourages humans to keep perspective, let go more easily, and remember what truly matters: connection, simplicity, and a few good belly scratches.

Today we're talking about control. Control is a word that comes up a lot in our harp playing, whether it's about controlling our fingers, our dynamics, tempo, tone, focus, or a hundred other relevant things. It feels like we're always trying to gain control over something in our playing, or over ourselves.  But the path to mastery isn't about asserting control; it's actually about letting go of control.  If you search, you can easily find dozens of books that explore the idea of control in music, and nearly all of them start out with the idea - sometimes it's even written in the title - that we gain control by letting go. It's a simple enough concept, but it comes with a big paradox: letting go of control essentially requires us not to do what we've been training ourselves to do. For example, we train ourselves to play the right notes, which usually requires a lot of focus, concentration and sometimes sheer willpower, in other words, control. But if we don't let go of that control, our music doesn't flow. Another example is our technique. We work hard to teach our fingers to play the right way, and we want to make sure that they behave themselves. So we keep paying attention to them; we keep them in our control. Of course, this means that we don't have the attention to spend on making the music expressive, and we don't let our fingers play naturally, because we want to make sure they play correctly. Perhaps the best example is when we try to play faster. We want to stay in control, and the challenge of playing a passage or a piece faster, creates chaos. We resist the chaos, with the result that we never achieve that faster tempo. The crux of the dilemma is this: we need to control many different elements in our playing, but if don't let go of control, we can't achieve the expressive, fluid musical playing we want. And practicing not controlling these things feels uncomfortable and even wrong. But today, I'm going to show you how to let go of control without the fear and without feeling like you're on the brink of disaster in your playing. I'll teach you a three-step system for keeping your controlling instincts in check, to allow them to serve your music instead of hold it back.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Register for my free webinar, Your Breakthrough Year Let me help you create your personalized Breakthrough plan on the Harpist's Breakthrough Blueprint Intensive Learn control practice techniques in my Kaleidoscope Practice e-book. [LINK to shop] Harpmastery.com Get involved in the show!

Send us a textEver feel like you're doing everything "right" in recovery but still find yourself pissed off when things don't go your way? Steve opens up about his biggest struggle even after 15+ years sober: the control freak mindset that gets shit done but also sets him up for resentment, anxiety, and dangerous thinking patterns.In this episode, we dig into the difference between being outcome-focused (expecting specific results because you did the work) versus journey-focused (trusting the process without demanding a particular ending). Steve shares raw moments from his week—including a family reunion where "normal people" went straight to the bar while he dealt with buried resentment—and how he's learning to recognize when his need for control is actually putting his sobriety at risk.We talk about:Why alcoholics make great control freaks (and why that's both a strength and a problem)The dangerous cascade that starts with disappointment and ends with "maybe I should just drink"How expecting certain outcomes because you "earned them" leads to resentmentWhy being a caretaker amplifies these expectationsThe skills that keep you from that relapse that starts three weeks before it actually happensWhether you're brand new to sobriety or decades in, if you've ever thought "I did everything right, so why do I still feel this way?"—this episode is for you.Support the show

Let's be honest - most of us say "Thy will be done" while white-knuckling our way through each day. In this episode, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose are digging into the anatomy of control: why we crave it, how it's exhausting us, and what actually happens when we stop playing God. If you're ready for 2026 to actually be different, and to see some change that lasts beyond February, take a listen.

Today Caleb speaks with industry veteran Marty Grunder, owner of a successful $18 million landscaping enterprise. The conversation highlights Grunder's long-term influence on the profession, tracing his journey from selling business advice on cassette tapes in the 1990s to managing 140 employees today. The sources emphasize the importance of evolving leadership styles, moving from a "control freak" mindset to one that empowers staff and embraces technological growth. Grunder also shares personal insights on maintaining a long-lasting marriage while scaling a demanding business, rejecting the idea that professional success must come at the cost of family. Ultimately, the text serves as a guide for entrepreneurs on balancing high-level systems with the essential human touch required for elite customer service.

PREVIEW:Emma Southon discusses how Augustus, a control freak, used his daughter Julia as a conduit for heirs, marrying her to Marcellus and then to his right-hand man, Agrippa. The successful marriage produced five children. Julia and Agrippa seemed compatible, often traveling together, which was a sign of liking each other. AUGUSTUS AND CLEOPATRA

Are you obsessing over that listing that just won't sell? Feeling like a failure even though you've done everything you possibly can for your clients? This episode is your mindset reset. We're getting honest about the hard truth so many Realtors need to hear: you can't control everything. The current market is weird, unpredictable, and frankly, a little rude. And if you're tying your value and self-worth to outcomes you can't control — like a closing happening or not — then you're setting yourself up for burnout. Inspired by real conversations with stressed-out agents, our own challenging transactions, and the pressure we all feel to “make it happen,” this chat is for all the control freaks (hi, it's us) who need a reminder about what actually is in our control. We'll walk through the things you can't control, like: Interest rates, the economy, or inventory Whether your clients take your advice Another agent's professionalism A buyer canceling due to a knee replacement (true story) Feedback (or the lack of it) And the things you CAN control, including: How often you follow up and communicate The way you set expectations and share data Your systems, organization, and boundaries Your mindset and gratitude How many clients you take on at once If you're feeling stuck, unappreciated, or just overwhelmed by this wild market, this pep talk will help you shift the focus back to what you can do—and let go of what you can't. Because if you're doing your job, communicating well, and staying professional, then you are a great agent... even if the house hasn't sold yet. Key Quotes/Takeaways “You cannot tie your worth to whether or not the house sells.” — Alissa “If I've done my job, I sleep well at night. That's what I can control.” — Alissa “You can't control if they take your advice. But it's your job to give it.” — Alissa “Client acquisition and client service are two different jobs.” — Katy “You deserve that Saturday phone call if you didn't do your Friday update.” — Alissa Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Hustle Humbly Community (private agent community) hustlehumblypodcast.com/membership   Leave us a review at ratethispodcast.com/hustlehumbly Get your FREE Database Template  Email Templates 101: emailtemplates101.com Build Your Own Business 101: hustlehumblypodcast.com/byob Agent Systems 101: agentsystems101.com All Resources: hustlehumblypodcast.com Submit your topic ideas and toasts to team@hustlehumblypodcast.com   Music: Straight A's by Conner Price The Good Life by Summer Kennedy
