Celebrating the 500th episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu sits down with a true pioneer in movement based recovery: Todd Crandall, founder of Racing for Recovery. Long before recovery communities such as Addict II Athlete were changing lives through fitness, connection, accountability, and purpose, Todd was proving that movement could become a powerful pathway out of addiction.Todd shares his journey through trauma, addiction, and self-destruction and the turning points that led him to rebuild his life through endurance athletics, including Ironman competition. He explains how training gave him more than physical strength: it created discipline, identity, confidence, emotional regulation, and a reason to keep moving forward.This conversation honors Todd's legacy while exploring the shared philosophy behind Racing for Recovery and Addict II Athlete: "movement equals healing". It is an episode about turning pain into purpose, taking ownership of the next right step, and using the hardest chapters of life as training material for a stronger future.Listen in for an honest, motivating conversation about recovery, resilience, endurance, and the power of becoming the person you once needed.Chapters00:00 Introduction and episode overview03:05 Turning tragedy into a movement for healing07:36 Spiritual inspiration and purpose in Todd's journey11:10 The importance of vulnerability and sharing stories12:39 Overcoming societal judgment and stigma14:15 The team approach and community support in recovery15:34 Athletic challenges as metaphors for life's obstacles19:04 Todd's extensive Iron Man experience and lessons learned22:13 The motivation to continue and avoid burnout24:37 The concept of embracing the suck and resilience28:30 Balancing personal recovery with family and community33:13 The impact of helping others and giving back35:35 Todd's journey as an author and storyteller40:05 Creating resources for children and families44:25 Healing childhood trauma through storytelling48:48 Looking back and staying motivated to move forward50:52 Supporting others and community involvement52:35 Upcoming events and how to get involved54:23 Closing thoughts and gratitude58:59 Connecting with Todd Crandall and supporting Racing for RecoveryFor more information about Racing For Recovery:https://racingforrecovery.org/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/racing-for-recovery-podcast/id1693894844Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/19gxpSkt4K/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soberultraman?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&stkn=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Join Coach Blu and Team Addict II Athlete and begin your recovery with a tram behind you!

Every interaction leaves a mark. When people walk away from an interaction with you, do they feel more capable—or less? Dr. Wayne Pernell sits down with leadership educator and author Doug Crandall to explore the central idea behind Doug's book, Building or Diminishing: almost every interaction either strengthens another person's capacity or quietly diminishes it. Drawing on nearly three decades of leadership development experience, including teaching at West Point and developing corporate executives, Doug reveals how expectations, trust, dignity, and presence shape the people we lead. In this episode, you'll learn: Why there may be no neutral interaction• How the Pygmalion Effect influences performance• Why leaders should assume positive intent• The difference between being kind and merely being nice• How to challenge people without diminishing them• The four leadership archetypes: Builder, Driver, Cheerleader, and Belittler• Why trust makes difficult feedback more powerful• How quickly a leader can reshape someone's confidence• Why a phone on the table can weaken human connection• The question every leader should ask: “What does this person need to hear?”• Why reflection—not experience alone—creates growth Doug also shares a formative lesson from fellow West Point instructor Everett Spain, who challenged him to “never meet a bad cadet.” That shift in expectations transformed how Doug taught, coached, and led. The conversation offers a practical challenge for leaders, parents, coaches, educators, and anyone whose words affect others: Am I building—or diminishing? ABOUT DOUG CRANDALL Doug Crandall is a West Point graduate, former West Point faculty member, Stanford MBA, leadership educator, and Head of Teaching at The Referent Group. He has designed leadership-development experiences for thousands of leaders and is the author and co-author of multiple leadership books, including Building or Diminishing.

Doug Crandall is a former leadership professor at West Point who has helped develop executives at Walmart, Division 1 athletes, and our nation's military leaders. In his new book, he's built a framework on two forces that shape every interaction - what we expect of others, and how our communication lands. Those two forces produce four leadership instincts: Builder, Driver, Cheerleader, and Belittler. Most leadership books tell you what great leaders do. Instead, Doug's new book, Building or Diminishing, asks you to examine what archetype you are and then shows you how to change. Today Doug teaches us how to think about our own leadership style to help veterinary leaders serve their clients, patients, teams; and better understand and develop human beings.

Episode 236Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 41Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast where hosts McG and Jay sit down with John Crandall to hear his testimony of God's saving work in His life. John is a long-time faithful soulwinner and servant of Christ, but it was not always this way. He and his five siblings grew up without a gospel witness in the home or any external gospel witness to speak of. A small gospel seed was planted in his heart as a teenager when a group of Christians were witnessing at a mall, but John did not receive Christ as his savior until he was an adult. Having gone along with the cultural tide of a life fueled by the flesh, the Lord opened his eyes to the emptiness of the world and brought him to a saving knowledge of Him. Just like that, almost everything about him changed and he hasn't stopped witnessing since. Join us on this new installment of the How Were Your Barriers Removed series to hear of God's marvelous and faithful work in John Crandall's life and be encouraged!Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books [dot] com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574Fastmail: https://join.fastmail.com/8e23c12bSee all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Dr. Chauncey Crandall about his new book Touching God: Understanding And Experiencing The Holy Spirit. Dr. Crandall, a board certified physician in internal medicine and cardiology, shares how he first encountered the power of the Holy Spirit, how the death of his son deepened his surrender to God, and why he believes Christians need the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He also retells the remarkable story of praying for a man who had been declared dead and was being prepared for the morgue, only for the man to come back with a powerful testimony that changed his life.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

Heat hits differently when you're a burn survivor—and this week, we're getting into the science behind why. ☀️Rachel and Amber sit down with Dr. Craig Crandall, Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Director of the Thermal and Vascular Physiology Laboratory at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. For over 20 years, Dr. Crandall has been continuously funded by the NIH to study the long-term thermoregulatory and cardiovascular effects of severe burn injuries and he brings all of that expertise to the table in this conversation.We dig into how Dr. Crandall first found his way into burn research, what actually happens in a survivor's body during heat stress, and why heat tolerance looks so different after a burn injury. From there, we walk through the Burn Survivor Heat Risk Calculator—breaking down what each input means (think TBSA, burn location, body weight, activity level, and more) and why it matters for your safety. We also cover cooling strategies, why your heart rate might spike in the heat, and the critical role hydration plays in regulating your body temperature.

It can feel impossible to find joy when the headlines never seem to let up.From attacks on public lands and environmental protections to growing uncertainty for the people who steward these places, many of us are carrying a constant sense of urgency, grief, and overwhelm.But what if joy isn't a distraction from the work?What if joy is what sustains us through it?In episode 224 of Outdoor Minimalist, I sit down with podcaster, former U.S. Forest Service employee, and public lands advocate Liz Crandall to talk about resilience and the role joy plays in challenging times.Together, we explore how to stay informed without becoming consumed by the news cycle, the importance of caring for ourselves as we advocate for the places we love, and why local action and community connection matter now more than ever.Liz is the creator and host of Rangers of the Lost Park, a podcast that helps listeners better understand public lands through the stories of the people who work in and care for them.As a former federal employee who was directly impacted by recent workforce cuts, Liz brings both personal experience and professional insight to conversations about public lands. Throughout our conversation, she reminds us that joy is not separate from the work of protecting public lands and that it's often what makes that work possible.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/Website: https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalistListener Survey: https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976------------------Rangers of the Lost ParkWebsite: https://rangersofthelostpark.transistor.fm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RangersoftheLostParkPodcastApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rangers-of-the-lost-park/id1822915251Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rangersofthelostpark

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Liz Crandall, a former US Forest Service field ranger who was fired by DOGE last February and has since transitioned into advocacy, activism, and podcasting, serving as the host of Rangers of the Lost Park. In this one, Liz walks us through nine years of climbing the federal government's career ladder, from GS3 volunteer to permanent employee, and what it actually felt like to receive the phone call telling her it was over. She breaks down the DOGE firing process, the spam-looking emails that nobody believed were real, the Fork in the Road offer that most people didn't take, and what it looked like inside a Forest Service office where even the people who voted for the administration were crying. She also shares what it took to go from a person who was trained never to talk to the press to someone doing live CNN, the roadless rule and why she thinks rescinding it is a bad idea, her crown jewel podcast guest Ken Burns, and two pants-shitting stories from her hitchhiking days that she's been dreading telling us since she booked this. We wrap the show with hikers who discovered human remains in Vermont, the celebrity names we can never remember, how I butchered the boy who cried wolf, the triple crown of the worst gifts to give your kids, and an ALL TIME listener email and poop story.

How did a sports‑obsessed kid from Crandall, Texas, work her way from tiny markets and tomahawk tournaments to the Houston Astros broadcast team? 2. What did Julia learn in minor league ballparks with the Round Rock Express that made her the right hire for a full‑time traveling baseball role? 3. How did legendary play‑by‑play announcer Bill Brown help introduce her to Astros fans and give her space to be herself on air during losing seasons? 4. Why did Julia decide to drop the “buttoned‑up” reporter persona and let fans see the same person on TV that they’d meet in H‑E‑B? 5. What toll did early years of bad baseball, five‑hour games, and constant travel take on her, and how did those years actually make her a better reporter? 6. How did the arrival of stars like Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, George Springer, and Lance McCullers change her job and the way the broadcast told stories? 7. In what ways does Julia see herself as a trailblazer for women in sports media, and how did little girls in the stands with “I’m here to see Julia” signs change her perspective? 8. How did she balance becoming a visible role model with raising her own young daughter, knowing her child is watching how she treats people on and off camera? 9. What exactly happened in 2020 when Julia was navigating pregnancy, a shutdown baseball season, and the discovery that her mother was already deep into breast cancer treatment? 10.

When the ship docks in Palermo, they decide to spend the day together and actually have some fun. They go on a donkey ride, but the donkeys wander off and leave them stranded. When the van meant to take them back to the ship won't start, they realize they're running late… and they miss the boat. OH NO.They try to rent a car, but none are available, so they rush to catch a train. Things are going well until, in the middle of the night, the train workers go on strike.
