What if lasting peace isn't something you find in the world, but something you train within your own mind?In this powerful conversation, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Liam McClintock, founder of FitMind, a mental fitness nonprofit, and author of Fit Mind: 4 Steps to Lasting Bliss—Neuroscience and Meditation for Daily Life. Liam shares his remarkable journey from a career in private equity to traveling throughout Asia to study meditation and ultimately becoming a Buddhist monk. What began as a temporary commitment to deepen his meditation practice became a three-year transformation that completely reshaped how he viewed happiness, purpose, and the mind.Liam explains how neuroscience and meditation can work together to help us understand our thoughts, emotions, expectations, and patterns of suffering. He explores the Buddhist concept of “dukkha,” why unmet expectations can create mental turmoil, and how learning to observe the mind can help us cultivate greater peace and resilience. He also shares why meditation and taking action aren't opposites, and how mindfulness can become a way of living rather than simply something we practice while sitting in silence.Mike and Liam dive into the importance of surrendering to outcomes, letting go of attachment, living with intention, and creating a “fit mind” while still pursuing meaningful goals in everyday life. Liam also opens up about why he ultimately chose to leave monastic life and bring the lessons he learned as a monk back into the world.Liam holds a B.A. from Yale University and an M.S. in Applied Neuroscience from King's College London and has contributed to meditation research at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.This episode offers a thought-provoking look at meditation, neuroscience, inner peace, expectations, and what it truly means to train the mind for a better life.Website-www.fitmind.org https://www.instagram.com/fitmind/?hl=en

Corey shares how the security industry has evolved far beyond traditional cameras and alarms, with emerging technology now creating opportunities to support marketing, HR, operations, and overall business performance—turning security from an expense into a strategic investment with measurable ROI.Corey also opens up about his philosophy of partnering with customers and becoming an extension of their security program rather than simply another vendor.

What if the same principles you use to engineer a complex system could also help you understand, tune, and master your own mind? In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Jitesh Vaswani, a former RF engineer turned SKY Breath Meditation teacher, Director of Partnerships at the Art of Living Foundation, and CMO of Ayurvedic skincare brand Shankara Naturals.Jitesh spent more than a decade designing semiconductor chips used in communications and aerospace before realizing that his greatest work might not be engineering technology, but understanding the human mind. His journey into meditation and breathwork began at just 12 years old, when he discovered powerful tools for managing emotions, developing focus, and cultivating inner stability. Today, he applies the same curiosity and systems-based thinking he developed as an engineer to consciousness, personal growth, and human potential.Mike "C-Roc" and Jitesh explore the powerful connection between breathwork, the nervous system, mindset, and performance, including how breathing techniques can help shift the body from a stressed, fight-or-flight state into a calmer and more grounded state. Jitesh also shares his practical approach to building lasting habits through small, time-bound commitments, accountability, and celebrating small wins rather than allowing guilt or perfectionism to get in the way.The conversation goes deeper into spirituality versus religion, the importance of finding your own path, and why developing a stronger relationship with yourself can transform every other area of your life. Jitesh also explains why he believes breathing, meditation, and mindset training should be introduced at an early age and how these practices can help the next generation become more resilient, focused, and emotionally equipped to handle life's challenges.From engineering some of the technology behind modern communications to teaching people how to better understand their own minds, Jitesh's journey is a powerful reminder that true mastery isn't just about what we accomplish externally. It's also about developing the inner tools to navigate pressure, uncertainty, relationships, and adversity with clarity, purpose, and resilience.Website- www.shankara.com Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/jiteshvaswani/ https://www.youtube.com/@beyondtheknownpodcast

Ed & Katie are back with this week's Fully Charged Best Bits, and they're fully committed to the acting life.Katie's treating herself to Doc Marten sandals and trying to “wear them in” (ow, ow, ow), while the pair debate the biggest footwear icks out there Crocs, socks with sandals, toe shoes, Yeezys, and everything in between.Then it's revealed: Ed's a secret Croc charm guy. The charms are OUT, and the listeners have thoughts on whether they should come on holiday.Plus, it's Actors' Day, so naturally they attempt a horror movie scene. Chaos.

In the latest episode of Scratch, Nick Tran, President and CMO of First Round, breaks down what culture actually looks like when people put their phones down, why brands are over-indexing on micro-cultures, and what it takes to create work that cuts through the sea of sameness.From building Cîroc Athletic Club into a media and events platform to rethinking the traditional conference format at Cannes, Tran shares how brands can respond to changing social behaviors by creating spaces people genuinely want to be part of.We get into:→ Why culture is really about the “campfire conversations” happening off-screen→ Why the next big opportunity might be moving from micro-culture back to macro-cultural moments→ How Cîroc Athletic Club turned changing drinking habits into a 20M+ monthly-view media ecosystem→ Why the best experiential marketing gives people space to play, connect, and surprise each other→ What the “30 moons” approach to AI means for creativity, taste, and human judgment→ Why brands should stop worrying about who did an idea first and focus on who does it best→ Why intimate, practitioner-led conversations are replacing the traditional marketing conferenceThe key takeaways:Culture happens around the campfire — Culture isn't just music, sport, fashion, or whatever is trending on your feed. It's the conversations people have when the screens go away. That's where brands should be looking for cultural insight.Micro-culture isn't the only answer — The industry has spent years fragmenting audiences into increasingly niche communities. When everyone is doing the same thing, going bigger can be the more distinctive move.AI needs a human with taste — The first AI output is rarely the best one. Tran's “30 moons” principle is about pushing through iteration after iteration until you find something genuinely distinctive. AI can generate. Humans still need to know what's great.Socializing is changing — Younger consumers aren't necessarily going out just to drink. Active leisure like pickleball, tennis, and golf is becoming the reason to gather, with alcohol playing a secondary role. Brands need to build around the behavior, not force the old one.Build platforms, not campaigns — Cîroc Athletic Club turned a cultural shift into an ongoing media and events ecosystem, taking organic social views from 100,000 to more than 20 million a month.Kill the grind — At Cannes, First Round deliberately removed the panels, packed schedules, and endless meetings. Leisure created the conditions for the conversations and connections everyone was actually there for.Execution beats originality — Consumers don't care who technically did something first. They care about who did it best. Fear of being derivative shouldn't stop brands from executing a good idea brilliantly.The conference needs a rethink — Senior marketers don't necessarily need another panel. They need access to people who have actually done the work, in environments where genuine conversation can happen.Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/najVJ8Fd9lg Scratch is a production of Rival, a marketing innovation consultancy.

How do you build a powerful personal brand, become more visible online, and confidently show up as the face of your business? In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with media veteran, entrepreneur, personal branding expert, and visibility strategist Keri Murphy to explore the power of authenticity, video marketing, and becoming known for your brilliance.With more than 30 years of experience on camera and 15 years helping entrepreneurs build their visibility, Keri shares the lessons she learned from starting in television as a child, building a seven-figure talent agency, navigating the 2008 recession, hosting shows on MTV and the Golf Channel, and eventually creating a successful business focused on helping entrepreneurs and leaders use their voice and story to grow.Mike "C-Roc" and Keri discuss why personal branding and visibility are essential for entrepreneurs, especially for business owners who are great at what they do but remain behind the scenes. Keri explains how to become more confident on camera, overcome the fear of being judged, and create content that feels authentic instead of overly scripted or polished. She also reveals why getting more “reps” on video can transform the way you communicate and why you don't need expensive equipment or a perfectly produced studio to create compelling content.The conversation also explores authentic marketing, social media content, storytelling, AI-generated content, and the importance of maintaining a genuine human connection in an increasingly digital world. Keri shares why perfection can prevent people from connecting with your brand and why your audience is more interested in your real experiences, personality, stories, and insights than a perfectly curated image.If you're an entrepreneur, coach, business owner, speaker, professional, or leader looking to build your personal brand, increase visibility, improve your on-camera presence, create better video content, and become the trusted face of your business, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you stop hiding behind your expertise and start showing the world what you're made of.Website- www.brilliantwomennetwork.com Social Media Links/Handles: https://www.facebook.com/brilliantwomennetworkhttps://www.instagram.com/brilliantwomennetwork/ https://www.instagram.com/keri.murphy/https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerimurphy/

They discuss sacrifice, discipline, work ethic, perseverance, and the mindset required to compete at the highest levels. John also explains how today's youth sports environment has changed, including the pressure for kids to specialize earlier, do more, and treat sports like a job before they are ready.The conversation also explores leadership and character development in young athletes. John explains why kids need opportunities to solve their own problems, navigate conflict, develop confidence, and learn how to lead their peers rather than having adults constantly step in to fix everything for them.As the founder of the Changing the Game Project and host of the Way of Champions Podcast, John has dedicated his career to helping coaches, parents, athletes, and sports organizations create healthier and more meaningful environments for young people. His message is simple but powerful: sports should develop the person, not just the player.This episode is a must-listen for athletes, coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone who believes that the lessons learned through sports can create stronger, more resilient, and more capable people.Website-www.changingthegameproject.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/ChangingTheGameProject https://www.instagram.com/ctgprojecthq/ https://x.com/CTGProjectHQ

Instead, she had already been proactively creating her next future through podcasting, business education, coaching, live events, and mentorship.

LuAnn's story is a powerful reminder that success isn't just about what you build, but about continually having the courage and clarity to create what comes next.Website- http://luannnigara.com/https://www.instagram.com/luannnigara/?hl=en

Hendrik "Hendri" Coetzee was one of the most decorated whitewater explorers in the history of African river kayaking — a South African who had paddled the length of the Nile, soloed some of the continent's most dangerous water, and built a life in places most people only read about. In late 2010, he led two world-class American kayakers on an ambitious first descent of the Lukuga River in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a remote stretch of water known among local communities for something far more dangerous than its rapids. On the morning of December 7th, on a quiet, flat section of river, everything ended in seconds. This episode tells Hendri's full story — who he was, what drove him, and what his teammates witnessed that morning — drawing entirely on verified accounts, his own writing, and the documentary record left behind by the people who were there. 00:00 Disaster Strikes Intro 00:45 Congo River Cold Open 02:40 Meet Hend Kotze 03:48 Early Life And Fear 05:12 Finding The Rivers 06:00 Nile Source To Sea 09:02 Solo Murchison Run 11:18 Risk And Depression 13:33 Final Congo Expedition 17:02 Into The Laga River 18:35 Crocodile Attack 21:43 Aftermath And Rescue 23:43 Memorial And Legacy 26:25 Lessons And Closing Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES Coetzee, H.

In this inspiring episode of What Are You Made Of? Show, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with John Jubilee, Founder of Energized Health, to explore the remarkable journey that led him from a nationally recognized banking executive to a leading voice in cellular health and wellness. Growing up in poverty and enduring the tragic loss of both of his brothers, John shares how faith, resilience, and an unwavering belief in purpose shaped his outlook on life. Despite achieving tremendous professional success, his own health was rapidly declining, leaving him with chronic pain, high blood pressure, brain fog, and the prospect of knee replacement surgery at just 37 years old.Determined to find answers, John immersed himself in years of research and developed an approach centered on restoring health at the cellular level. After transforming his own health in just 88 days, he spent the next 11 years helping thousands of people for free while continuing his successful banking career. A pivotal conversation with Dave Ramsey ultimately confirmed what he had already begun to realize—that his work in health was no longer simply a passion project but his true calling. Today, as the Founder of Energized Health, John challenges conventional thinking about aging, chronic illness, and what it means to achieve lasting vitality.Throughout the conversation, Mike and John discuss the power of choosing your attitude and actions, embracing adversity as a catalyst for growth, raising resilient children through example, and living with purpose rooted in faith. John's perspective on overcoming hardship, redefining health, and refusing to accept limiting beliefs offers a compelling reminder that our greatest challenges often become the foundation for our greatest impact. Whether you're seeking better health, stronger faith, or a renewed sense of purpose, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink what's possible.Website-www.energizedhealth.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/energizedhealth https://www.instagram.com/energized.health/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYbiW0aATEQwteFmN-qKHsw

Success isn't built by avoiding setbacks—it's built by pushing through them. In this powerful conversation, Mike “C-Roc” welcomes Dr. Craig Spodak and Dr. Peter Boulden, founders of Bulletproof Dental Practice, to share the deeply personal journey that transformed them from successful dentists into mentors helping thousands of practice owners build thriving businesses and better lives.Craig and Peter open up about the defining moments that shaped them, including financial hardship, lawsuits, betrayal, burnout, family struggles, and the emotional toll of running a dental practice. Rather than allowing those experiences to break them, they used them as the foundation for a mission centered on resilience, leadership, and community. Together, they discuss why dentistry can be one of the loneliest professions, how vulnerability became their greatest strength, and why finding the right people to lean on can change the course of both a career and a life.Mike 'C-Roc' ties their stories back to his own philosophy of turning setbacks into "rocket fuel," leading to an inspiring conversation about perseverance, partnership, entrepreneurship, and the power of surrounding yourself with people who challenge, support, and elevate you. Whether you're a dentist, business owner, or anyone navigating adversity, this episode offers a compelling reminder that your greatest struggles can become the catalyst for your greatest impact.Website-https://www.bulletproofdentalpractice.com/ Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/bulletproofdentalpractice/?hl=enhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bulletproof-dental-practice/id1167571343

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (6.29) Whip-round time — what percentage of American households own a car compared to the rest of the world? A staggering 92% here in the US versus just 19% globally — we really are living in car country! And the big question: You accidentally plow into a building… do you sit there stunned like a deer in the headlights, or slam it in reverse and try to casually roll away like nothing happened? California’s annual budget just dropped at a whopping $351 billion, while the Garden Grove chemical disaster cleanup from the May evacuation of 50,000 locals finally starts today. Timmy got nostalgic about his Alaska cruise with his mom at age 15 — he was the youngest passenger by decades and caught the crew tossing garbage overboard at stupid o’clock in the morning. The guys also debate why all the coolest girls seem to be named Jill (have you ever met a bad Jill?) and give a shoutout to all the awesome (if occasionally stripper-esque) Nikkis out there. Timmy caught someone swiping KFI snacks into a backpack — how rude! — before sharing his class-act Home Depot moment trying to tip a helpful employee $40 even though the guy couldn’t accept it. Mark topped it with a Vegas waitress story and a crisp C-note. Plus, Huntington Beach Independence Day producer Stacey Newton joins the show — she’s been running the parade for 26 years! With America’s 250th birthday this year, rumors are flying that this one could draw close to a million spectators, and Timmy might just be your grand marshal — ding-dong with you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Tracy Duhs joins Mike "C-Roc" to challenge everything you thought you knew about hydration, wellness, and optimizing your health. A wellness educator, hydration expert, and host of the acclaimed HYDRATE Podcast, Tracy shares how a lifetime of health struggles—from growing up surrounded by pesticides to a life-threatening pregnancy caused by an undiagnosed mineral imbalance—led her to dedicate her life to understanding the true science of hydration.Mike C-Roc and Tracy explore why drinking more water isn't always the answer, the critical difference between intracellular and extracellular hydration, and how minerals, water quality, and cellular health impact everything from brain function and energy to longevity and performance. Tracy also explains why structured water, spring water, and proper mineral balance play a much bigger role in wellness than most people realize, while offering practical ways anyone can improve their hydration at home.The conversation also dives into biohacking, creatine, frequency medicine, and the importance of mastering the foundational habits that drive long-term health rather than chasing the latest wellness trends. Tracy shares how she transitioned from real estate investing to building a personal brand and educating millions about restorative wellness, proving that sometimes our greatest challenges become our greatest purpose.If you're looking to boost your energy, sharpen your mind, improve your health, and rethink one of the most overlooked aspects of human performance, this episode is packed with eye-opening insights and actionable takeaways.Website-https://tracyduhs.comSocial Media Links/Handles: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/?hl=enhttps://www.youtube.com/user/DuhsTracy

Dive deeper into our world + tour ticket presales at https://weirdertogether.substack.comBen's back from 60 shows around Australia (and avoided all crocodiles). Ione has been nursing a six-foot baby. And we have a lot to catch up on.This week: Olivia Rodrigo just announced Daisy Chain Fields — an all-female festival with Bikini Kill, Stevie Nicks, Mitski, Chappell Roan, Karen O, and more — and we get into why it matters, what Lilith Fair got right and wrong, and why the 90s community ethos feels more radical than ever in 2026.Also: it's the 40th anniversary of Wham! breaking up, and Ione has a memory involving a gay music promoter on her childhood street, early vinyl promos, and George Michael not yet being out. Plus: why Hal Hartley is the most underrated director of the American indie film era, the troll who called Ben a "soy boy," and Ione's lifelong crush on a boy who wrestled a crocodile.

Are your kids cheating in school? Have you talked to them about what it means to honor the Lord in their academic pursuits? You might be surprised to learn that according to the International Center for Academic Integrity, a survey of over seventy thousand high school students found that ninety-five percent of students admitted to some form of cheating. Sixty four percent admitted to cheating on a test. And, fifty-eight percent admitted to plagiarism. I've been hearing reports from teachers on how students are cheating these days. Some students take audio notes of test questions immediately after leaving an exam, and then share the audio notes with other students. One report said that a student had a cheat sheet attached to the bottom of his Croc. In Colossians three twenty three we read, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for me.” Teach your kids to embrace academic integrity as they study to build their minds, and faithfully serve the Lord.

We dive into our brand new unclaimed packages video that just dropped! Plus, Myles shares an observation about local band names, and we break down the absolute best things about being a woman. Later, we play a game deciding which daily activities are strictly "boot activities" versus "Croc activities."

In the second, faster, slightly more feral half of the recording this week, Katy Ennis-Hargreaves of BOLDISM stays in the chair for The Spark – the rapid-fire round where the questions get cheekier and the answers get more honest. Top of the agenda is her renowned and entirely unrepentant hatred of crocs, a feud so well known that former colleagues now send her "croc bait" on a weekly basis. From there, she makes the case against the beige, clean-girl aesthetic taking over the high street, and argues that the world simply needs more colour. It's not all footwear-based warfare. Katy shares the small habit that actually rescues her work day, explains why "fake it till you make it" is the one piece of advice she'd ban from the industry forever, and pays tribute to Vivienne Westwood as her creative hero, the designer who insisted she wasn't a fashion designer at all but an activist. Along the way, there's a frank confession about the last thing Katie "stole", a question handed forward to next week's guest, Rob Draper, and a gloriously unprofessional detour into why being bold means having genuine substance rather than just climbing. Warm, daft and refreshingly raw in all the right places, it's a reminder that you can run a serious creative business and still have an enormous amount of fun doing it.

This week, the show is almost undone by an Alexa! But the podcast prevails, and as a reward, we learn Laurie's (@anylaurie16) bunions have returned with a vengeance! She's been self-consciously wearing some off-brand Crocs to ease her pain. Jackie (@Jackiekashian) is largely offended that Laurie is denying herself name-brand Crocs. Laurie also confesses her lack of a palate, a fact Jackie admits she already knows, simply by seeing any food she's ever eaten or described...Subscribe to the podcast, and give it a 5-star rating and review to help the show move up the charts.
