You don't have to earn your Intuition. You don't have to perform spirituality. And you definitely don't have to be “consistent” to be Loved or Guided.In this episode, we're dismantling the myth that spiritual growth requires discipline—and exploring the deeper truth that while Love doesn't require devotion, devotion magnifies Love.You'll hear me share how my own intuition practice evolved over time: from rigid daily routines and spiritual guilt to a fluid, Love-led rhythm that feels alive and sustainable. I'll tell personal stories—from when I was a pastor working with postpartum moms, to moments in my women's circle, to the way I now approach my own daily connection with Spirit.If you've ever:Felt guilty for “falling off” your practice or not being consistent enoughLonged to feel closer to your Intuition but didn't know where to beginConfused structure with intimacy or discipline with devotionNeeded permission to rest, pause, or reconnect in your own way—then this episode will feel like a deep exhale.You'll walk away understanding:The real difference between discipline and devotionHow to build a relationship with your Intuition that's based on Love, not obligationWhy consistency doesn't mean doing the same thing every dayHow to recognize when Love is already speaking to you through ordinary lifeHow to release guilt and respond to the invitation of devotion when it arisesWhether you're in a quiet winter of the soul or a season of blooming creativity, this conversation will remind you that Love hasn't gone anywhere.Love doesn't need your discipline—but it delights in your attention.Mentioned in this episode:“The Wind, One Brilliant Day” and “Traveler, There Is No Path” by Antonio MachadoIf this episode resonates:Visit my newly updated website to explore 1:1 coaching openings for the end of 2025.

"Speed reading doesn't work. Speed learning works." What happens when a kid from Brooklyn grows up to become the world's fastest reader and teaches others to learn 100% faster in just four hours? In this episode, I talk with Howard Berg about speed learning, knowledge, and why smarter decisions could change the world. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Howard Berg, officially recognized as the world's fastest reader by the Guinness Book of Records. Howard reads at a staggering 80 pages per minute, but more importantly, he has spent decades teaching others how to learn faster, retain more, and apply knowledge in ways that transform lives . Howard grew up in the Brooklyn projects, where the library became his safe haven from gangs. By eleven, he was already reading at a college level. Later, while double-majoring in biology and psychology, he discovered that no one ever teaches students how to learn—only what to learn. Determined to change that, he developed methods that helped him finish a four-year psychology program in just one year, all while working multiple jobs. He proved his system worked by acing the GRE after reading 48 textbooks in three nights . Since then, Howard has taught speed learning techniques to the U.S. Special Forces, the Royal Thai Army, corporate teams, and students around the world. He explains why speed reading alone isn't enough—it's about combining reading with comprehension, retention, and emotional intelligence to ensure knowledge sticks when it matters most. From teaching 11-year-olds to write graduate-level papers, to helping entrepreneurs read a business book a day, his system opens new doors for anyone willing to learn . The conversation also touches on Howard's personal journey—his years as a Red Cross swimming instructor, his eclectic reading habits, his love of travel and music, and the joy he finds in helping others succeed. He shares stories of students who went from struggling to excelling—like a C student who became a professor at 22, and another who finished a college degree in just six months before selling his company for $38 million . Howard's message is simple but powerful: the world's problems won't be solved by more people making bad decisions. If we can learn faster, understand more, and apply knowledge wisely, we stand a better chance of building a smarter, better future. Quoteable Quotes "The library was the safest place in Brooklyn—gang kids would rather be dead than caught there." — Howard Berg "Speed reading doesn't work. Speed learning works." — Howard Berg "Truth is, you don't need the stories—you need the ideas." — Howard Berg "The number one asset every entrepreneur has is their ability to make choices and decisions." — Howard Berg "This is already a learning process for me." — Michael Dargie Episode Highlights World's Fastest Reader | How Howard Berg earned his Guinness record.

You know I talk about longevity all the time, right?It's something I'm genuinely working toward every single day, being healthy and vibrant well into my later years. And I credit a lot of my thinking around this to reading books and watching documentaries that completely changed my perspective on aging.So the other day, I was scrolling Instagram (as you do) and came across this wild ChatGPT prompt about living to 140. When AI analyzed centenarian populations in Blue Zones — regions like Okinawa, Sardinia, and Costa Rica — it didn't point to Mediterranean diets or daily walks as the key factor.The surprising answer? Managing chronic stress matters more than anything else for longevity.In this episode, I'm diving into seven principles that came from this analysis, and honestly, they resonated so deeply with how I already try to live. These aren't abstract concepts for decades from now, they're shifts you can make today that actually matter.Because one line really hit me hard: so many people wait their whole lives to truly live, and by the time they give themselves permission, their body has already paid the price.What You'll Learn:Why chronic stress (not diet or genetics) is the biggest threat to longevity and how to identify hidden stressors in your lifeWhy living out of alignment with your true self keeps your body in constant survival modeThe power of social connection and why loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a dayHow to find your "ikigai"— your reason for getting up each morning that can add 7 years to your lifespanHow to stop postponing joy until “retirement” and start living now Hosted on Acast.

Is an MBA still worth it for marketers in 2025, or should you learn by shipping work in public?Schools still broaden your network and expose you to many disciplines.

I'm super energized to have this conversation on the heels of the massive No Kings protests of October 18th. The greatest mass mobilization to date against authoritarianism in this country.At the same time, I also understand that it's really easy to feel overwhelmed with all of the bad things coming at us out of this administration. And how easy it is to feel like the actions of one person can't make that much of a difference. But in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.I was fortunate to be able to attend the huge protest in Washington DC on Saturday. Over 200,000 people were there. We filled Pennsylvania Avenue from steps from the capitol, all the way to the White House. It was extraordinary.How amazing is it that there were over 7 million people who turned all over the country. In big cities, of course – New York, LA, Chicago. Even more inspiring to me were the thousands of smaller cities and towns and even rural highways, where people showed up to make their voices heard. And to make it abundantly clear that they are not happy with what is happening. They're not happy with the authoritarian power grabs that are happening from 47 and his crew, the complacency of the Republicans in Congress just letting him do whatever he wants. The whole thing is wrong and everybody knows it. And they're standing up to say so.  Part of what was so inspiring and exciting to me was the energy – of hope and determination and belief that by banding together and through the power of our collective action, we can slow down what is happening. We can eventually stop it and then begin to reverse it.The other thing that I so loved was the absolute joy that people were bringing. We all know it's kind of hard to feel joy with the unbelievably egregious actions from this administration damaging individuals and entire communities. You might even say it's unreasonable to feel joy in the face of that. But the source of the joy was from being in the presence of all of these thousands and thousands of people who are here to accomplish the same thing. Who believe passionately in reversing the terrible stuff that's going on and moving us all toward a much better day. That joyous, hopeful energy is so important and so instructive for how we can prevail.That, and taking concrete action… In this episode, we share:The biggest pitfalls that will take you out of your power, and how to avoid themThe one simple task that will put you on the path to powerful actionHow to leverage the power of collective action every dayHow to craft messaging that will engage a wider circle of people – even those who aren't paying much attention to what's going onHow to destabilize the pillars that prop up a would-be authoritarian regimeThree specific actions you can take as a nonprofit leader to make a big impact in this fight Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!

The world tells men that leadership is about being in charge, having authority, and getting others to serve you. But Jesus flipped that script upside down. He showed us that true leadership isn't about being the loudest voice or the one with the most power—it's about being the first to serve. A godly man doesn't climb the ladder to stand above others; he kneels down to lift others up. Today we're talking about leading through service.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” — Mark 10:45 (ESV)Jesus redefined greatness. While the disciples argued about who would be the greatest, Jesus pointed to a different standard—the servant. Leadership in the kingdom of God is not about control; it's about sacrifice. It's not about status; it's about humility.Leading through service begins in your home. It means listening to your wife instead of just demanding your way. It means helping with the little things, even when you're tired. It means investing time in your children, not just providing for them financially but being present in their lives.It also extends to the church and community. A godly leader doesn't wait for recognition—he steps into needs quietly, faithfully, and with love. He isn't looking to be applauded; he's looking to reflect Christ.Brother, this kind of leadership requires strength. It takes humility to put others first. It takes courage to lower yourself. But here's the reward: when you lead through service, you point people straight to Jesus. Your family will trust you more deeply. Your community will respect you more genuinely. And heaven will applaud your obedience.The culture says, “Be served.” Christ says, “Serve.” And that's the model we're called to follow.Question of the Day:How are you currently leading through service—and where is God calling you to lay down pride and pick up humility?Mini Call to Action:Do one act of service today that costs you something—your time, your comfort, or your pride. Do it in secret, just for God's glory.Prayer:Lord, make me a servant-leader. Teach me to love through sacrifice, to lead through humility, and to point my family and others to You through the way I serve.Let's Get To Work!Great leaders don't demand to be served—they roll up their sleeves and serve first. That's kingdom manhood.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe! This post is public so feel free to share it.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Every man is a leader somewhere—but the most important place you'll ever lead is under your own roof. Too many men pour themselves out for work, hobbies, or even ministry, but neglect the sacred responsibility of leading their families spiritually. Leadership at home isn't about being a dictator—it's about being a shepherd. It's not about ruling with an iron fist—it's about guiding with Christlike love. Today we're looking at what it means to step into your role as the spiritual leader of your home.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” — Ephesians 5:25 (ESV)This verse destroys every selfish version of leadership. Christ didn't lead the church with arrogance or intimidation. He led with sacrifice. He gave His life. That's the model we're called to follow at home.Spiritual leadership begins with love. Your wife doesn't need a drill sergeant—she needs a husband who sacrifices for her. Your children don't need a tyrant—they need a father who shows them what it looks like to walk with God. Leadership means initiating prayer, opening Scripture, and setting the tone of worship in your home.It's easy to think, “I don't know enough Bible” or “I'm not good with words.” But hear this: God isn't asking for perfection—He's asking for presence. He's asking you to show up, to lead by example, to admit when you're wrong, and to point your family back to Him.Brother, leadership is not about control. It's about responsibility. It's standing at the front lines of your family's spiritual battles. It's interceding for them, protecting them, and showing them how to trust God even in storms. When you lead your home with humility, strength, and faith, you're living out your highest calling as a man.Question of the Day:How are you actively leading your family toward Christ right now—and where do you need to step up?Mini Call to Action:Pray out loud with your family today. It doesn't have to be long or perfect—just lead. Even one prayer can shift the atmosphere of your home.Prayer:Father, teach me to love my family as Christ loved the church. Help me to lead not with pride but with sacrifice, not with harshness but with humility. Give me the courage to step into my calling as the spiritual leader of my home.Let's Get To Work!Your greatest mission field is not out there—it's right inside your own home. Lead with love, and you'll leave a legacy that echoes into eternity.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe!

This conversation hit deep.I invited Annie Gichuru onto Entrepreneur School because her AI Bias Guide stopped me in my tracks. Annie is a leading Racial Equity Coach & Consultant, and she's one of the contributors inside my Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle.We went way beyond “AI tips.” Annie opened my eyes to the invisible gaps in our businesses when we believe kindness equals inclusion—and why AI is never neutral.

Lost your spark? Dreading Monday again? You're not broken. You're just stuck in the wrong game.In this episode of the Be Unmessablewith podcast, I'm breaking down what's really going on when you lose passion for your work  and how to get it back.Here's what I've learned after coaching high-performing professionals for over 30 years: burnout isn't always about overwork. It's more often about being disconnected from your vision.Most people don't need a new job. They need a new relationship to what they're creating.If you've shifted from creation to management mode, reacting, maintaining, surviving, you will feel drained no matter how "successful" things look on paper.In this episode, I walk you through:The silent passion killers that hijack your dayHow to use a simple time audit to diagnose what's draining youWhat your body is trying to tell you about your workThe neuroscience behind burnout and how to reset itWhy a vision reset is more powerful than a vacationOne of My Favorite Moments: "You don't need to find your passion. You need to create it, and that starts with your language."If you've ever said “I used to love this but now I just feel numb,” this episode is your invitation to hit reset.Want to reignite your passion and start creating again?

Every disciple will face it—the season when prayer feels dry. The words seem to bounce off the ceiling. The emotions fade. Silence replaces the nearness you once felt. In those moments, it's tempting to think God has left or that you've failed. But dry prayer seasons are not the end of intimacy with God. They are invitations to press deeper, to move from feelings into faith, and to discover that prayer is not built on emotion but on commitment.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” — James 1:12 (ESV)Dryness in prayer doesn't mean God is absent—it often means He is drawing you into a deeper level of trust. Just as a good teacher is quiet during the test, sometimes the Father allows silence to strengthen your perseverance.Here's how to overcome those seasons:* Anchor in the Word. When prayer feels empty, lean heavily on Scripture. Pray it, read it aloud, and let it guide your heart when words are hard to find.* Stay consistent. Don't abandon your prayer time because it feels unfruitful. Faithfulness in the dry place builds maturity.* Shift the focus. Instead of asking, “What am I getting from prayer?” ask, “What am I giving to God in prayer?” Worship Him for who He is, not just for what you feel.* Invite the Spirit. Romans 8:26 reminds us that the Spirit intercedes when we don't know what to pray. Trust His strength when yours runs out.Every relationship goes through seasons. If your marriage or friendships were only fueled by emotion, they wouldn't last. It's commitment that carries them through. The same is true with God. Dry prayer seasons refine your love, proving it's rooted in covenant, not convenience.Don't quit in the silence. Often, it's just before breakthrough that the silence breaks.Question of the Day:How do you usually respond when prayer feels dry—do you pull back, or press in?Mini Call to Action:Commit today to remain faithful in prayer this week, even if you feel nothing. Write down one Scripture to pray daily until joy returns.Prayer:Lord, help me remain steadfast when prayer feels dry. Remind me that You are near even in silence. Strengthen my faith to press in, trust deeper, and continue seeking You with persistence.Let's Get To Work!Dry seasons don't last—but faithful disciples do. Keep praying. Keep pressing. The well will flow again.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe! This post is public so feel free to share it.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

There's a difference between surviving as a believer and thriving as a disciple. One simply hangs on until Heaven; the other grows, bears fruit, and lives on mission for the Kingdom. What separates the two is hunger—a holy desire for spiritual maturity that refuses to be satisfied with yesterday's faith.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.” — 1 Peter 2:2-3 (ESV)Peter paints a vivid picture: just as a newborn instinctively cries out for nourishment, so should we long for the Word, prayer, and fellowship with God. Spiritual maturity is not a passive process. You cannot drift into depth; you must pursue it intentionally.This hunger starts with realizing there is more of God to know, more of His ways to understand, and more of His Spirit to experience. Many Christians plateau because they mistake initial salvation for the fullness of the Christian life. But God is calling you to press in, to keep growing, to let Him refine you in character, faith, and obedience.Hunger for spiritual maturity will disrupt comfort zones. It will cause you to ask hard questions, wrestle with God's Word, and confront areas in your life that don't align with His will. It means you stop being content with surface-level spirituality and go deeper—studying Scripture until it changes you, praying until your heart aligns with His, and serving until your life reflects His love in action.Without hunger, we settle for spiritual junk food—things that entertain but do not nourish. With hunger, we feed on what will strengthen our faith, even when it's challenging to digest.The truth is, God will meet you at the level of your hunger. If you desire just enough of Him to get by, that's what you'll receive. But if you desire more—if you chase after Him like David did, if you long for Him as the deer pants for water—you will find depths of intimacy and revelation that transform your entire life.Question of the Day:How hungry are you for spiritual growth—and what does your daily life say about that hunger?Mini Call to Action:Choose one new spiritual discipline or practice to deepen your walk this week, and commit to it daily.Prayer:Lord, give me a deep, unshakable hunger for You. Stir my heart to desire Your Word, Your presence, and Your will above everything else. Remove distractions that dull my appetite for spiritual growth. Teach me to crave what nourishes my soul, so that I may grow into full maturity in Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Your level of hunger determines your depth of growth—chase after Him with everything you've got.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.
