Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Izzo

Send a textIn this powerful and deeply human conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with therapist, author, and conscious living guide Katherine Jansen-Byrkit to explore what it truly means to move from surviving life to living awake.Katherine shares her personal journey—from childhood trauma and a suicide attempt at 16 to a lifetime devoted to healing, meditation, and helping others reclaim their inner world. Drawing from her book River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness, she explains how our thoughts, bodies, relationships, and spiritual paths are deeply interconnected—and how ignoring any one of them keeps us stuck.This episode dives into meditation as a practical tool (not an escape), why most suffering comes after thought, how intrinsic worth differs from external success, and why true change requires integration—not just motivation. Joey and Katherine also unpack conscious relationships, healing trauma without labels defining us, and why curiosity may be the most underused skill in modern life.If you're searching for peace, clarity, or a deeper connection to yourself and others, this conversation offers grounded wisdom you can actually live.

Send a textIn this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Dr. Toni Cooper, a psychologist with over four decades of experience helping people break through emotional, mental, and spiritual barriers that keep them stuck.Dr. Toni shares her origin story—from growing up with structure and accountability through Catholic education, to forming a deep personal relationship with Jesus at just sixteen years old. That early foundation shaped both her professional path and her holistic approach to helping people move forward in life.Throughout the episode, Dr. Toni explains the difference between psychology and psychiatry, explores why so many people struggle to change even when they want to, and unpacks how faith and psychology can work together without being confused or diluted. The conversation dives into what truly holds people back, how past experiences quietly shape present behavior, and why intentional growth requires both self-awareness and action.This episode is an invitation to reflect, reset, and move forward with clarity—whether you're navigating personal challenges, emotional healing, or simply trying to live a more aligned and meaningful life. ⭐ Top 3 Highlights

Send a textWhat if the very thing you were told would “ruin” your health was actually the moment everything clicked?In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Allyson Hurley, a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and longtime probation officer, to unpack how mindset—not restriction—is the true driver of lasting health change. Allyson shares the now-famous “cheesecake moment” that forced her to confront years of rigid food rules, marathon overtraining, and chasing outcomes instead of behaviors.Together, they explore why weight loss is often the wrong target, how diet culture quietly shapes identity and self-talk, and why motivation isn't something you either have or don't—it's something you design through systems and environment. Allyson also draws compelling parallels between probation work and health coaching, revealing how motivational interviewing and behavior change science apply to both personal freedom and physical wellbeing.This episode challenges black-and-white thinking around food, fitness, and self-worth—and replaces it with a sustainable, compassionate approach to building healthier habits for life.If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of restriction, frustration, and “starting over,” this conversation will change how you think about progress.

Things Discussed: Seth on early: Ohio State has yet another former player admitting he didn't go to class. Mick Cronin doesn't record practices—he's Tom Izzo without being a good basketball coach. Seth gives a history of coaching styles, short version is the Bo/Woody/Izzo/Bear style of drill sergeant was just a post-WW2 thing that just worked in that era. Michigan tampered with [the locks that Mick Cronin puts on the dungeon] UCLA, and Xavier Booker sneaks in while it's open: ooh, more yelling! Purdue: Mackey was lit, 42-17 run after going down five early. Michigan took only one bad three; everything else was open. Purdue was the opposite, all movement. Not thruck. Matt Painter is the anti-Cronin. Explained the game so well: he helped every dive inside and forced M to hit open kickouts. Soon as they did there's nothing more to do If Mara is going to play like he did in the 1st half and Cadeau plays like he did in the 2nd half...yeesh. How would you attack Michigan? Start by pulling Mara out of the middle by going five-out, then survive their size on offense (e.g. Illinois). Duke Preview: Boozer is a suped up Yax, they have incredible length on the perimeter including a 6'8"/190 Italian they put on PGs so we're going to see if Michigan can keep up their scoring or turns it over a ton. Duke's weaknesses are you can get to the rim and get fouls on their young frontcourt, since they don't really have a backup five. Cason: best backup PG in the league? Not sure but turning a corner. Still misses a switch and doesn't have NBA spacial awareness, but he's a very valuable backup now.

Boomer and Gio are back together, starting with yesterday's Olympic hockey games and Gio's appreciation for 3-on-3 OT. There was discussion on the potential MLB work stoppage, salary caps, and salary floors. C-Lo filled in for Jerry to deliver Kenny Albert's Olympic hockey call, followed by Chris Russo's reaction to the Tony Clark scandal. The hour closed with the Kevin Durant burner account controversy and the possibility of Tom Izzo having burner accounts at WFAN.

Send a textWhat happens when elite performance ends—but the pain doesn't?In this powerful episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey sits down with former All-American linebacker and two-time national champion Brandon Day to unpack the hidden cost of high achievement—and the unexpected path to renewal.Brandon opens up about life after sports, identity loss, chronic pain, and burnout that spiraled into some of his darkest moments.

Today, as a father of triplets and founder of Evolved Athlete, he helps lifelong athletes and high performers tap into flow states, restore nervous system balance, and perform without burning out.This conversation explores imposter syndrome, neuroplasticity, the brain's need for safety and predictability, and why consistency—not intensity—is the real edge.If you've ever felt stuck, broken, or past your prime—this episode will change how you think about performance, recovery, and what's possible next. 

Send a textWhat would drive a 23-year-old to stage his own disappearance—and stay silent for 45 years?In this unforgettable conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Steven Kubacki, PhD, whose 1978 disappearance on the frozen ice of Lake Michigan became one of America's most baffling mysteries. What the public never knew—until now—is that Steven's disappearance was intentional, ideological, and deeply personal.Steven reveals how a secret plan to “go underground” collided with an unexpected multidimensional experience that forever reshaped his understanding of consciousness, purpose, and human connection. From assuming a new identity to training in martial arts, confronting the dark side of power, and ultimately returning home claiming amnesia, Steven unpacks the psychological, spiritual, and ethical implications of radical action.Now, decades later, his book The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation serves as both an origin story and a warning—exploring certainty, extremism, social systems, and why meaning, connection, and structure matter more than ever in today's divided world.This episode challenges how we think about truth, identity, belief, and what it really takes to live authentically in chaotic times. 

Send a textIn this episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Stan Lai, one of the most influential playwrights and directors of our time, to explore what creativity really is—and what it is not.Stan challenges the myth that creativity is mysterious or reserved for the gifted. Instead, he reveals how creativity is a traceable process of the mind, shaped by focus, patience, and the ability to remove the habits that block original thinking. Drawing from decades of writing, directing, and teaching, he explains how characters are formed, why improvisation needs structure, and why chasing results often kills the work before it begins.The conversation also explores how audiences shape (and sometimes distort) creative decisions, why Hollywood feels broken, where AI helps and where it falls short, and why the most meaningful work comes from motivation—not metrics.

Rather than numbing or escaping grief, Alex walks us through what became the Liam Process—a four-step framework rooted in presence, emotional awareness, and aligned action.This conversation explores why chasing a pain-free life leaves people disconnected, how men lose their identity in responsibility, and why real growth requires feeling the full spectrum of human emotion.

Send a textIn this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with Michaela Anderson, founder of LoyaltyOps™, to unpack why so many organizations stall—not because of strategy, tools, or talent—but because people aren't aligned on how to think, behave, and decide together.Michaela breaks down the real difference between leaders and managers, why culture exists whether you design it or not, and how misalignment quietly destroys execution. Drawing from her experience as a Division I athlete, business founder, and organizational advisor, she explains how performance becomes predictable when teams operate with shared standards—not heroics.The conversation dives deep into why popular frameworks like EOS and OKRs often fail to create consistency, what AI can (and can't) fix inside organizations, and why loyalty—defined as commitment plus action—may be the missing ingredient behind sustainable growth.This episode is a must-listen for founders, executives, and leaders who feel stuck firefighting, drowning in meetings, or frustrated that “great people” aren't producing great results.
