Bianca's team oversees more than $1 billion of the work.03:41 – The Challenge of Aging SchoolsMany Austin ISD buildings are over 50 years old. Deciding whether to renovate or rebuild is a complex process driven by facility assessments and community needs.09:00 – Race Against the ClockWith Austin's rapid growth, the district must move fast. Their aggressive five-year timeline puts pressure on every phase of construction.09:52 – Competing with Mega ProjectsTesla's Gigafactory and Samsung's plant are pulling contractors away. Bianca shares how Austin ISD retains labor despite the competition. 14:05 – Navigating Construction During COVIDCOVID disrupted timelines, but school projects were deemed essential. Bianca details how her team adapted to keep things moving.20:37 – Scaling Up: The Current State of the ProgramFour new schools are opening soon, with more in design and construction. Managing this level of activity requires constant coordination. 21:17 – Why Owners Push Fast ConstructionDelays mean rising costs. With a fixed budget, Austin ISD must act quickly or risk cutting projects due to inflation.26:03 – Choosing the Right Delivery MethodBianca explains why Design-Build and CMAR are the preferred models, emphasizing the importance of strong contractor-architect relationships. 33:20 – Community Engagement in School DesignNo two schools look the same—community input ensures designs reflect local culture and student needs.36:41 – Prefabrication & InnovationPrefab construction offers speed and cost savings, but not every site is a good fit. Lessons learned from past projects guide future decisions.39:20 – The Data DilemmaManaging a $2.4 billion program requires massive data tracking. Despite advanced tools, Excel remains a critical part of the workflow. Bianca's wish? Seamless tech integration and better alignment between school construction and district-wide operations.55:00 – The Megaphone QuestionHer message to the industry: Trust, collaboration, and communication are the foundation of every successful project. Construction is about more than just buildings—it's about people.58:48 – Closing ThoughtsBianca reflects on the impact of building schools and why it's all worth it. If you're in construction, take pride in the work you do—it shapes the future.Go build something awesome! -----CHECK OUT THE PARTNERS THAT MAKE OUR SHOW POSSIBLE: https://www.brospodcast.com/partnersFIND US ONLINE:-Our website: https://www.brospodcast.com-LinkedIn: / constructionbrospodcast-Instagram: / constructionbrospodcast-TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@constructionbrothers?lang=en-Eddie on LinkedIn: / eddie-c-057b3b11-Tyler on LinkedIn: / tylerscottcampbellIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to us!

Miriam Lancewood is an adventurer, author, and modern-day nomad who chose an extraordinary path far removed from the comforts of modern life. In 2010, Miriam and her husband Peter left civilisation behind, venturing into the high mountains of New Zealand with nothing but a backpack, a bow and arrow, and a tent.  For seven years, they lived as nomads, hunting wild animals, foraging for plants, and embracing a primal existence in the wilderness. Since then, Miriam's journey has continued to evolve. Together with Peter, she has roamed the wilderness of Europe, braved personal challenges like Peter's battle with kidney failure, and settled into an off-grid cottage in Bulgaria. While Peter tends the land, Miriam embarks on solo expeditions, most recently exploring the remote regions of the Himalayas, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Miriam is also a celebrated author, with her international bestseller Woman in the Wilderness captivating readers across the globe. Her sequel, Wild at Heart, and her most recent release, Wilder Journeys, showcase her incredible adventures and reflections on nature connection in the modern world. Join us as Miriam shares her remarkable story of survival, resilience, and what it means to live in harmony with nature, far from the conveniences of contemporary life.

Deciding how to divide cruising time between work and pleasure is a real conundrum.  Another joint podcast wherein we answer a fantastic question about life balance from a follower.   Podcast Summary No one starts cruising so they can work on their boat all the time. Yes, it's important to keep your vessel in good repair. But you also need to learn how to balance fun with boat work. But just how do you do that? Here are a few tips: Cruiser and coach, Behan Gifford, suggests someone onboard becomes a "happiness engineer." They take on the responsibility for planning fun activities on a regular basis. Make sure you block out time on your schedule for both fun and boat chores. Fun is important. So besides scheduling time for it, leave money in your budget for it. Be sure to make time for fun when you're in particularly interesting spots. After all, you can make repairs nearly anywhere (once you have supplies). But some adventures are site specific. And, if you struggle to find time for fun and boat work, extend your stay. You can always slow down. Even if you prefer anchoring, an occasional marina stay can help you replenish your spirits. Beating weather may be a race. But balance it with a break when you're past the worst of it. Make sure everyone on the crew gets moments of fun, including pets and kids.

179 What to Charge for Coaching How much should you charge for coaching? If you've ever asked yourself this question, you're not alone. Pricing is one of the biggest challenges for coachee. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your business model. In this episode, we break down the different approaches to pricing your coaching services. We explore why charging "by the hour" isn't always the best model, how to package your coaching effectively, and why your money mindset plays a crucial role in pricing decisions. We also tackle common pricing strategies, including value-based pricing, where fees reflect the transformation clients experience, rather than just the time spent in sessions. We share real-life examples of our own pricing evolution—from charging £150 per session to aligning our personal coaching rates with corporate pricing. If you're unsure how to confidently set your rates, communicate your value, and attract clients willing to invest, this episode will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.   Key Pricing Strategies Discussed Time-for-Money Pricing Calculating an hourly rate based on income goals and workload. Accounting for business expenses, admin time, and preparation. Value-Based Pricing Pricing based on the transformation clients experience, not just the time spent. Considering the financial impact of coaching on clients (e.g., career growth, leadership success). Productising Your Coaching Creating packages instead of selling individual sessions (e.g., six-session packages at £1,000). Making coaching tangible by focusing on outcomes rather than "selling time." Mindset and Confidence in Pricing Addressing money blocks and self-worth issues that influence pricing decisions. Recognising the difference between what you think clients will pay and what they actually will. Corporate vs. Individual Pricing Understanding why companies often have higher budgets for coaching than individuals. Setting rates that align with your ideal client's ability to pay. Creative Pricing Models Membership models where clients pay a monthly fee for access to group coaching. Sliding scale pricing or "pay what you can" approaches for values-based businesses. Handling Pricing Conversations Displaying rates transparently on your website to avoid awkward money discussions. Ensuring payment is taken upfront to create a smooth coaching experience.   Key Lessons Learned Pricing is subjective—there's no single "right" amount to charge. Time-for-money pricing is a starting point, but long-term growth comes from value-based pricing. Mindset is crucial—your beliefs about money directly impact what you charge. Packaging coaching makes it more tangible, helping clients understand what they're investing in. Corporate and individual clients require different pricing strategies. Confidence in your pricing comes from clarity on the results you deliver. Coaching is an investment, not just an expense—clients will pay if they see the value.   Key Takeaways You can charge what feels right for you, but make sure it aligns with your goals and market. Value-based pricing focuses on the transformation, not just the time spent in sessions. Mindset matters—if you're uncomfortable discussing money, it will impact your pricing confidence. Be transparent with pricing on your website to avoid uncomfortable sales conversations. Corporate clients often have bigger budgets, but individuals will also pay premium prices if they see value. Experiment and evolve—your pricing can change as your experience and confidence grow.   Timestamps 00:13 – 00:46: Introduction—why pricing is a key question for coaches 00:46 – 01:44: How pricing mindset is shaped by employment history 01:44 – 03:08: Breaking down costs—business expenses, VAT, and income goals 04:04 – 05:30: The problem with charging per hour and why packaging is better 06:00 – 06:57: Value-based pricing—charging for transformation, not time 07:20 – 09:13: Corporate vs. individual pricing strategies 10:38 – 11:08: Handling money conversations with confidence 12:00 – 13:52: How pricing evolves as you gain experience 14:20 – 15:46: Creative pricing models—memberships and sliding scales 17:38 – 18:58: Why mindset and confidence are essential for charging what you're worth 19:23 – 20:14: Closing thoughts—charge what feels good and aligns with your values   Keywords: How to price coaching sessions, Coaching business pricing strategies, Time-for-money vs. value-based pricing, How much should I charge for coaching, Mindset and confidence in coaching prices, Corporate coaching vs. personal coaching rates, How to package coaching services, Setting coaching prices for new coaches, Membership model for coaching, Coaching fee structures,   Links: Coaching Business Lounge (Pricing Strategy Resources): www.igcompany.co.uk/businesslounge Take the Coaching Course Quiz: www.mycoachingcourse.com   Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training: www.igcompany.co.uk/emotionscoaching   COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

Today, Josh and Amelie discuss how to set motivating goals–and stick to them! Top takeaways: There's a difference between a goal and a dream. Most purely financial goals are not really goals–they're the Measurable part of another goal. If you think your goal is getting out of credit card debt, the question is “why?” It's hard to focus on the future when you're stressed about the present.

178 How to Coach Anger Have you ever wondered how to help someone move forward when they're stuck in anger? In this episode, Jo and Zoe explore how to coach clients through anger and related emotions in a way that is safe, ethical, and transformative. Anger can show up in coaching as a block, a motivator, or even an unrecognised emotion. We discuss how unresolved anger from the past can impact self-esteem and relationships, and how it often masks deeper feelings like sadness or fear. Jo shares a powerful example of a client who used anger as a motivator but discovered it wasn't emotionally sustainable. We also talk about helping clients identify their relationship with anger, whether they've buried it or expressed it in unhealthy ways, and how coaching can support them to create a new, healthier approach. Through practical steps, including naming emotions, identifying unmet needs, and exploring the relationship between anger and values, we outline how to guide clients to understand, process, and reframe their anger. Whether it's asking clients to "give their anger a voice" or exploring the systemic roots of their emotions, this episode is packed with actionable insights. If you've ever felt hesitant to ask about anger in a session, this episode will help you approach it with confidence, curiosity, and care. Key Lessons Learned Anger is often rooted in unmet needs or value conflicts. Naming and validating emotions is the first step to transformation. Emotions like anger can mask deeper feelings such as sadness or fear. Helping clients reframe anger as a signal, not a problem, empowers growth. Closure and acceptance are essential to move forward from unresolved anger.   Key Takeaways Encourage clients to explore and name their emotions. Use tools like values exercises and somatic practices to process anger. Anger can be a motivator, but it needs to be channelled sustainably. Always validate emotions to create a safe, judgment-free space. Work on closure by helping clients let go of anger tied to past events.   Steps to Coach Anger and Emotions Recognise and Name the Emotion Ask clients, What are you feeling? or suggest possible emotions to check for alignment. Explore Values Identify values that may be in conflict or unmet, leading to anger. Validate and Give Voice to the Emotion Create a safe space for clients to express their anger without judgement. Uncover the Root Cause Ask deeper questions to explore what lies beneath the anger—e.g., sadness, fear, or unmet needs. Identify Unmet Needs Encourage clients to reflect on what their anger is highlighting as a missing or unresolved need. Use Somatic Practices Introduce body-based techniques to help clients connect with and release stored anger. Reframe the Emotion Help clients see anger as a signal or ally, guiding them to their deeper needs or values. Introduce Choice Explore alternative strategies or emotions that could serve them better in the situation. Work on Closure and Acceptance Support clients to accept and let go of anger, focusing on forgiveness or reframing past events. Create a Sustainable Relationship with Anger Help clients define how they want to handle anger in a way that aligns with their values and goals.   Sample Coaching Questions for Coaching Anger What are you feeling about this situation? What values feel violated here? What does your anger want to tell you? What unmet need might your anger be pointing to? On a scale of 0–10, how intense is your anger right now? What lies beneath your anger? Is there fear, sadness, or something else? What do you want your relationship with anger to look like? If you let go of your anger, what would change for you?

Felix Kloman, four year basketball player at Brown University, joins this week's episode of @Notevend2 . Felix was a standout player in high school playing for Pingree School in Massachusetts. Out of high school Felix had few Division 1 offers, but coach Mike Martin and his staff offered Kloman late in his senior year of high school. Felix committed to play for Brown University going into the 2020-21 season; unfortunately his first season was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. Kloman played in limited minutes for his next two college seasons following his freshman year, until senior year when he started 18 games during one of Brown's best seasons under coach Martin. With one year of eligibility left, Felix entered the transfer portal. After hearing from schools at all three divisions, Kloman committed to play for Babson College. The grad student is off to a great start of the season averaging an efficient 18.8 ppg. Babson will be in contention for an NCAA tournament appearance due to the addition of Kloman.

Why creating new goals without addressing underlying habits leads to frustration. The role of action and getting new reference points to rewire our beliefs. Breaking generational patterns of beliefs, behaviors, and trauma. Deciding to "be the pioneer" who changes the trajectory of your family or personal life.

Finding the resources and funding for learning tools and enriching events is a consistent challenge for many districts. The PTO is often a largely underutilized resource, but most people cringe at the thought of having to attend one more committee meeting, especially in the evenings. Yet a well-run PTO can help take some of the load off of school staff and leverage resources in the community.That's why I was excited to talk to Christina Hidek from PTO Answers about how school staff and PTOs can work together. Christina Hidek is a recovering attorney turned Professional Organizer and certified PTO volunteer nerd. She founded PTO Answers 7 years ago to boost family engagement in schools and empower parents to improve their child's educational experience and school community through PTA/PTO involvement. She's been an active PTO leader for the past 14 years and hosts the vibrant 7900 plus member Super Star PTO Leaders Facebook Group. When she's not volunteering, you can find her in her garden, listening to the latest Katherine Center audiobook or walking the family dogs.In this conversation, we discuss:✅How to get people to show up to the first PTO meeting (hint: It's not by asking, “Hey, want to join the PTO?”)✅Ways people can get involved if they can't come to PTO meetings.✅Examples of low-maintenance, high-profit fundraisers.✅Deciding what events and initiatives are a priority for your district.✅Creative ways to get resources, funding, and donations. Here's where you can go to connect with Christina: On Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ptoanswers On Pinterest here: https://www.pinterest.com/ptoanswers On YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ptoanswersTake a look at her website here: https://ptoanswers.com/Sign up for the PTO/Teachers Collaboration Guide here: https://ptoanswers.com/teachers/Join the PTO Super Star Leaders Facebook Group: https://ptoanswers.com/community  We're thrilled to be sponsored by IXL. IXL's comprehensive teaching and learning platform for math, language arts, science, and social studies is accelerating achievement in 95 of the top 100 U.S. school districts.

On April 2, 2015, after getting a degree and paying off his loans, he stepped out his front door. Seven years, six continents, and twenty-eight thousand miles later, he has become the tenth person to walk around the world, and his dog, Savannah, became the first dog to do so.

Today, Josh and Emily discuss side hustles. Top takeaways: Side hustles are one of the worst ways to increase your income. If you don't have enough income, switching careers is the best way to solve that problem. Using a traditional side-hustle as a very short-term solution can work. Side hustles will exacerbate stress.

In this foundational episode of the "Ten Basic Steps to Buy a Home" series, David Sidoni challenges conventional wisdom by revealing that Step 1 isn't about getting pre-approved or finding a realtor – it's about making the fundamental decision to start planning your homebuying journey. Through real-world examples and myth-busting insights, he demonstrates why deciding to view homebuying as a rent replacement strategy, rather than a new expense, can transform your entire approach to homeownership. This mindset shift, backed by the confidence that comes from understanding the true process, is what sets successful first-time homebuyers apart in 2025's competitive market.Quote: "Buying a home is not taking on a new crazy expense... Buying a home is a rent replacement strategy."Highlights:What if you could start planning your home purchase today at no cost, even if you're 2-3 years away from buying?Could your belief in common myths like needing 20% down or a 700+ credit score be holding you back from starting your homebuying journey?Is "waiting for the crash" actually costing you more than taking action now with a solid plan?What's the real reason behind rising home prices in 2025, and how can understanding inventory levels help inform your decision?How might converting your monthly rent payment into mortgage payments help build long-term wealth instead of just covering 30 days of living?Could working with the right professionals earlier in your journey - way earlier than most people think - give you an advantage in today's market?Referenced Episodes:Episode 40, 48, 51 - "I Did It" success storiesEpisode 53 - Madison's condo purchase storyEpisode 151, 162, 168, 192, 219, 225 - Market updates and changesEpisode 251 - The Last Lease Ever planEpisode 274, 299 - JT's perspective episodesEpisode 290 - 2025 Forecast and PredictionsEpisode 296 - Market follow-upEpisode 98 - David's personal rental storyEpisode 164 - Chutes and Ladders analogyConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeThis podcast was created for YOU - to cut through the confusion and empower you to buy your first home.

177 How to Coach Fear How do you help someone move forward when fear is holding them back? In this episode, we explore how to recognise, name, and coach fear in a way that empowers clients to navigate their emotions and achieve meaningful progress. Fear often shows up in coaching sessions, sometimes explicitly but often disguised as procrastination, indecision, or avoidance. We dive into practical strategies to coach fear, starting with helping clients name their emotions and connect them to the gap between where they are and where they want to be. We share real-life examples of how fear shows up, like hesitation about applying for a promotion or anxiety about a major life decision, and how we've guided clients through these moments using exploratory questions, visioning, and emotional sequencing. Coaching fear isn't just about solving a problem; it's about unlocking self-awareness and building emotional agility. We discuss how to engage with emotions as allies rather than obstacles and explore ways to help clients see fear as a guide rather than a barrier. Whether you're a coach or someone looking to understand fear better, this episode will provide you with practical tools to deepen your emotional exploration.   Steps to Coach Fear and Emotions Recognise and Name the Emotion Ask questions like, What are you feeling about this? or share observations: I sense there may be fear here—does that resonate? Explore the Gap Between Current and Desired States Help clients identify the emotional gap between where they are and where they want to be. Unpack Emotional Layers Ask deeper questions: What's beneath this fear? or What happens if you move past it? Use Visioning Techniques Guide clients to imagine the best-case scenario. What will you see, hear, or feel when you achieve this? Examine Emotional Sequences Explore what emotions follow fear. What do you typically feel after fear, and what would you prefer to feel instead? Give the Emotion a Voice Encourage clients to dialogue with their fear: If this fear could talk, what would it say? What does it need? Reframe Fear as a Friend Ask, What if fear is here to guide you? How could it help you achieve your goal? Check for Alignment Ensure the goal aligns with the client's values, resources, and readiness to act.   Key Lessons Learned Fear often masks deeper emotions, like insecurity or doubt. Recognising and naming emotions is the first step to transformation. Emotions are not obstacles—they are guides that reveal what's truly important. Exploring emotional sequences can help clients build self-awareness and resilience. Aligning goals with emotions and values creates a roadmap for progress.   Key Takeaways Use curiosity to explore fear as a gateway to deeper self-awareness. Guide clients to see fear not as a blocker but as a source of valuable information. Engage emotions in a structured way, using tools like emotional sequencing or visioning. Create a safe space for clients to unpack their emotions without judgment. Apply these steps to your own fears for personal growth and clarity.   Timestamps 00:13 – 00:46: Introduction—Why fear is central to coaching conversations 01:44 – 02:34: The role of fear in the coaching gap 03:04 – 04:01: Recognising how fear manifests as indecision or procrastination 05:26 – 06:50: Using exploratory questions to uncover hidden emotions 07:20 – 08:19: Emotional sequences—what comes after fear? 09:40 – 10:34: Giving emotions a voice: engaging with fear as a guide 11:47 – 12:45: Why coaching emotions is foundational to growth 14:03 – 14:33: Using your own intuition as a coach to sense fear in clients 16:25 – 17:50: Practical tools like the emotions wheel to deepen client awareness 19:15 – 20:39: Reframing fear as a friend, not an enemy 20:47 – 21:17: Final reflections—applying these techniques to your own coaching practice   Keywords: How to coach fear, Coaching emotional awareness, Emotional exploration in coaching, Coaching emotions wheel, Emotional agility for clients, Neuro-Linguistic Programming coaching tools, Reframing fear in coaching, Fear and goal setting, Coaching techniques for fear and emotions, Emotional sequences in coaching,   Links: Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training: www.igcompany.co.uk/emotionscoaching   COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

This conversation with Craig Williamson goes beyond surface-level discussions about addiction. It's a deeply human exploration of what it means to navigate life's hardest challenges while finding ways to grow and inspire others. Whether you've been personally affected by addiction or are seeking actionable insights for personal development, this episode is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss. Addiction is a deeply personal and challenging journey that affects millions of individuals and families. In our latest episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we had the privilege of speaking with Craig A. Williamson, author of Regarding Substance Abuse and Addiction. Drawing from his own experiences—including the devastating loss of his son in 2023—Craig shared invaluable insights on addiction, recovery, and the broader lessons we can all take away for personal growth and success. With 4.8 million Americans aged 12 and over diagnosed with a substance use disorder in 2022, nearly everyone has been touched by addiction in some way. While there are no easy answers, Craig's perspective offers a beacon of hope, compassion, and practical guidance for those navigating these turbulent waters. Key Takeaways from the Episode Addiction is a Continuum: Craig highlights the nuanced distinction between substance abuse and the disease of addiction, explaining how understanding this continuum is crucial for offering the right support. The Importance of "Loving with Detachment": Balancing unconditional love with boundaries helps protect both the loved one and ourselves. It avoids the pitfalls of enabling harmful behaviors. Recovery is the Foundation: For anyone struggling with addiction, focusing on recovery must come before pursuing other goals. As Craig says, "Nothing else matters if recovery isn't successful." The Role of Self-Awareness: Supporting someone through addiction requires a deep understanding of one's own emotions and actions, as intuition often leads to counterproductive responses. Brokenness as Opportunity: Craig's reframing of hardships as an opportunity for growth and connection inspires a shift in perspective, encouraging resilience and optimism. For an in-depth exploration of these takeaways and more, be sure to listen to the full interview. 5 Life Lessons from the Interview to Apply Beyond Addiction Craig's insights extend far beyond addiction and recovery. Here are five lessons that resonate across all areas of personal growth and success: Seek to Understand Before Acting: Understanding the root of challenges—whether addiction, career struggles, or relationship issues—is the first step to responding effectively. Knowledge empowers us to make better decisions. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Taking small, consistent steps toward improvement is more sustainable and impactful than striving for unattainable perfection. Love with Boundaries: Learning to care for others without compromising your own well-being is essential for maintaining healthy relationships and achieving personal goals. Turn Challenges into Growth & Service Opportunities: Reframing setbacks as opportunities for learning and serving can help you move forward with greater strength and purpose. Have Something to Aspire to: Life and the things in our environment will try to pull us in all sorts of directions. Deciding what we want to aspire to will anchor us to a path that's taking us where we ultimately want to go and help us measure the weight and value of our choices. Discover More: For a deeper dive into the lessons and insights Craig shared, tune in to the full interview.
