Stigma loses its power when leaders tell the truth. In this episode, venture investor and Techstars co-founder Brad Feld shares why he went public about depression and OCD, how a 2013 crash led to a decade of deep therapy, and why aligning what you feel, say, and do is a leadership advantage. We talk about the “inappropriate anxiety spikes,” the trap of calling mental health a “superpower,” and the difference between passive and active avoidance. Brad also breaks down a simple dashboard for monitoring burnout, practical somatic cues to watch for, and clear guidance on when to hire a coach versus a therapist.

In this episode, Dave and Laura sit down with Dr. Phil Monroe to explore what it looks like for churches to navigate issues around sexual abuse in a healthy way…particularly when it happens in the church.

Dr. Monroe, leader of Langberg, Monroe & Associates, is a psychologist with more than three decades of clinical experience which he brings to the table in this vital conversation.Trauma Healing Institute Langberg, Monroe & AssociatesPhilip Monroe
"What am I holding onto so tightly that I would never change?" Our guest last week (and the week before!), Becca, once declared she'd never undergo treatment again—until her cancer returned and she found herself asking how they'd treat it. We often know exactly what we're going to do in difficult situations...until we don't. This week, Cody reflects on psychological flexibility and the profound courage it takes to change your mind. Why we hold so tightly to old stances, the hubris of declaring what we'd do in someone else's situation, and the strength required to grow and evolve. Join Cody for this brief but powerful exploration of identity, humility, and the grace of changing course. --- For more information on the sponsor of this episode, please visit the Iliff Death Care Collective.

Enneagram 5 parents Lauren Rupley and Kris Plunkett talk curiosity, intentionality, and energy management in family life. They describe how fives' love of learning, patient problem-solving, and reflective nature become strengths—sparking great questions, thoughtful rhythms, and delight in kids' unique wiring. They also name common struggles: over-researching instead of trusting intuition, scarce-energy mindsets, stepping back to observe rather than engaging in hard moments, and turning kids' challenges into a referendum on their own preparedness. Practical help includes building daily downtime, modeling conscious tech boundaries, asking “Is this about me or about my child?”, showing vulnerability, and finding mentor parents a few steps ahead.

John talks about Minority leader Chuck Schumer and the eight Senate Democrats who signed onto a Republican offer to end the federal shutdown. The bill now must pass through the House, which is scrambling to return to D.C. The deal includes guarantees of back pay to federal workers, a promise of longer-term funding for certain programs and the promise of a vote to possibly extend ACA subsidies. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to discuss the details on the shutdown, SCOTUS hearing the Tariffs case, and the Supreme Court saying it WON'T hear an appeal to the Obergefell decision that legalized gay marriage.

Erin Loechner is back for her third visit with a deeply freeing message for parents: you can step off the conveyor belt and still raise kids who thrive. From TV sets and Disney stages to off-grid cabins and a garden full of slow surprises, Erin has lived a dozen lives—and let many of them go. She and Ginny explore how seasons change slowly, why “success” can be lovingly rejiggered, and how refusing the race no longer meant for you is often the bravest step forward. If you've ever wondered whether opting out will leave you behind, this conversation says the quiet part out loud: it won't. It will bring you home. Then they get wonderfully practical. Erin shows how to flip Big Tech's playbook for the good of your family—bringing surprise, challenge, streaks, and shared goals back offline. Think a jelly bean in a coat pocket to reward real-world habits, a “treasure chest” microwave with small delights, fridge trackers instead of app streaks, midnight sundaes, silly-string welcomes, and family projects that build interdependence (yes, decks and ponds count). Along the way, they celebrate the outdoors as the world's best noise-absorber and soul-reset.

Getting a live TV segment on Telemundo was a huge life lesson for me. I am a confidence coach, and I teach my clients to have courage, but I was also so freaking scared when this opportunity came to me. For one thing, it was completely in Spanish, and Spanish is my second language; it was live, so I couldn't ask it to be edited in any way, and I only had a few hours to prepare to be on national TV. The universe was giving me what I wanted, but I was so scared of messing it up, I thought about saying no. In the end, I did the interview. And if you saw my post about it on social media, you know I am so glad that I actually went through with it. But the hours that led up to the interview taught me a few things: that I have an incredible community around me and that I can take my own advice. In this week's episode, we're talking about the behind-the-scenes of my Telemundo interview and lessons in courage, confidence, and doing it messy. As soon as I got off the call with my point of contact at Telemundo, my perfectionism started filling my head with so much doubt that I almost threw up. But by following my own coaching methods, I was able to calm my nervous system down, reach out to my community, and have the best interview I could. Tune in to hear the ups and downs of these crazy 24 hours and what valuable lessons I learned that day.

Why are we still telling female rugby coaches they are ‘not ready' to coach at the highest levels of the women's game, when we then say to male players ‘you can go straight into professional coaching when you come off the field'? This is just one of the thought-provoking questions Giselle Mather tackles on today's episode of The Game Changers podcast.Giselle is one of the most influential and pioneering figures in rugby. A formerEngland international and World Cup winner, Giselle's extraordinary coachingcareer has seen her consistently break new ground in the sport. Giselle was the first woman to earn the RFU's Level 4 coaching qualification and has gone on to lead at the very highest levels of both the men's and women's professional game. In this candid conversation, Giselle relives the raw early years of the women'sgame, from the first Women's World Cup in 1991 to lifting the trophy in 1994,and explains how those experiences forged a coaching philosophy that puts the human before the athlete.Combining elite coaching with a busy family life as a mother of three, Giselle has coached at Wasps, London Irish, Teddington, Ealing Trailfinders and internationally as a coach for England Women and Head Coach for Team GB Women's Rugby 7s, along with the inaugural Women's Barbarians.Giselle shares how she's earned respect in men's environments, the principles that underpin her sessions and the leadership needed to build diverse staff teams where every player can connect and thrive. We talk about how visibility is the fastest route to equality for women's rugby,why elite athletes deserve the very best qualified coaches and how blunt gender quotas in coaching can backfire.Renowned for her vision, passion and commitment to developing people, Giselle has inspired players and coaches across generations. She's an extraordinary leader on and off the pitch.

What does it take to change an entire industry? Thirty years ago, Jomo Tariku, then an industrial design student, noticed something profound missing in his university library: contemporary African furniture designers. This observation sparked a decades-long journey of persistence and vision. I sit down with Jomo to discuss his path from sketching designs in his garage while working other jobs to having his celebrated work featured in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. He shares how his father's incredible story as a refugee gave him the hubris to persist through a 27-year wait for recognition. Tune in to learn how he translates his heritage (from the horns of the Nyala antelope to the powerful symbolism of the Afro-comb) into functional, modern art. Tune in to this story about patience, process, and the fight to redefine the creative canon.
