Podcasts about Discipline

In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler delivers a direct and uncompromising message: success never happens by accident. He challenges listeners to confront the ways they may be drifting through life, reacting to circumstances rather than intentionally leading themselves. Ryan explores how comfort, avoidance, and distraction quietly compound into years of lost potential, and contrasts that with the strength and freedom created through discipline, structure, and brotherhood. This episode calls men to choose hardship on purpose, define their standards, and begin taking directional action immediately instead of waiting for motivation to arrive.

You Are Firemen: Built to Lead, Built to Last This week's episode is part reflection, part celebration, and part reminder. Chris and Melissa sit down to talk about two big milestones: the recent Family Brand Blitz and the five-year anniversary of The Family Brand Podcast. And instead of just sharing highlights, they unpack the deeper lessons that emerged — about consistency, leadership, and why families are far more capable than they often realize. They reflect on the power of bringing couples together in person at the Blitz, how every family — no matter the stage — is carrying something hard, and why the work of building a strong family culture is always worth doing. They also share a big realization that came out of the event: families don't need more content or bigger programs — they need simpler, more focused tools that actually fit real life. Chris and Melissa talk honestly about the tension between doing more and doing better, and why growth often looks like subtraction instead of addition. As the new year approaches, they invite listeners to consider what needs to be simplified, not added. They also reflect on the hardest part of any meaningful work: consistency. Excitement comes easily. Staying the course when motivation fades does not. Melissa shares what it's taken to show up week after week for five years — even on the weeks she didn't feel inspired — and how consistency is what ultimately allows you to "earn the right" to lead, teach, and have a voice. The episode closes with one of the most powerful metaphors they've ever shared: you are firemen. Challenges don't mean you're failing — they mean you're exactly where you're supposed to be. You were built for the heat. You were sent your kids for a reason. And together, as a family, you are capable of far more than you think. This episode is both grounding and empowering — a reminder that leadership starts at home, consistency builds confidence, and strong families aren't perfect… they're intentional.

In today's episode, James Maslow and I welcome Aloe Blacc for a conversation about intention, community, and the real work behind creative success. Aloe shares how losing his corporate job pushed him toward music full time after years of quietly building his craft. We talk about the importance of marketing, the power of purpose, and why longevity requires more than talent. James adds his own perspective from years onstage, and together we explore why connection, discipline, and genuine curiosity shape a sustainable career in any field.

On this special Christmas Day episode of the Real Life Runners Podcast (Episode 441), we slow things down and explore a different side of running — one that goes far beyond pace, mileage, or goals.Today's conversation invites you to see running as a spiritual practice — a space for reflection, waiting, preparation, and renewal. Drawing inspiration from spiritual traditions like Advent, we talk about what it means to trust the process, honor seasons of growth (and rest), and show up with intention, not just in running, but in life.We share personal reflections on how discipline can become a form of devotion, how movement can reconnect us to our bodies, and why some of the most meaningful progress happens when we stop forcing and start listening. Whether you view spirituality through a faith-based lens or simply as a deeper connection to yourself, this episode offers a gentle reminder: your body is wise, your journey matters, and you don't have to rush to become who you're meant to be.As you move through the holiday season — and into whatever comes next — we hope this conversation encourages you to run with presence, trust where you are, and step forward with courage and compassion for yourself.00:16 Spirituality and Running01:49 Running as a Higher Practice06:00 Advent and Running08:51 Trusting the Process17:33 Discipline as Devotion27:22 Body as a Gift29:43 Unlocking Your Body's Potential30:21 Shifting Perspectives on Fitness31:48 The Infinite Game of Health and Fitness34:04 Embracing Numerology and Spirituality35:48 The Symbolism of Years and Traditions39:31 Reflecting on Life's Transitions46:15 Running as a Devotional Practice47:03 Meditation and Presence in RunningJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

Virtue is not a theory. It is something you practice. In the moments where you could overreact. In the moments where quitting would be easier. In the moments where doing the right thing costs you something.In this episode, Ryan explores the four Stoic virtues through conversations with people who actually live them. You'll hear from a fighter pilot who shows courage under pressure, a marathon runner disciplined in daily practice, a historian who reframes justice as action, and Ryan himself on treating wisdom as a lifelong pursuit.

Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it's built around a simple idea I've come to believe deeply: the most important creative tools are free. Most creators assume they're stuck because they don't have the right gear, the right resources, or the right opportunity. But after decades of making work, interviewing hundreds of top creators, and studying the lives of artists across disciplines, I've noticed a different pattern. What actually holds people back isn't a lack of tools — it's a lack of the right conditions. Creativity doesn't break down because you don't have enough. It breaks down because you don't give yourself what the work requires. Here's the core idea: The foundations of great creative work aren't things you buy — they're things you practice. Experience. Space. Reflection. Discipline. Rest. These aren't nice-to-haves. They're the infrastructure that makes creative work possible. And most of them don't cost a thing — but they do require intention. One of the biggest mistakes I see is creators waiting. Waiting for inspiration. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for permission. But creative momentum doesn't come from waiting — it comes from engaging. From living. From making room to think. From showing up on a schedule. From giving yourself a break when the work gets hard. This episode is about stepping back and asking a better question: not "What do I need to buy?" but "What am I not giving myself?" In today's episode I cover: Why creative work depends on conditions, not inspiration The invisible tools behind consistent creative output How to support your creativity without adding more noise If you've been feeling stuck, this isn't a call to do more. It's an invitation to focus on what actually matters — and to remember that the most powerful tools you have have been with you all along. Until next time, give yourself the tools that matter — and give yourself a little grace along the way.

You know about breath work. You know about cold exposure. It's a thing all the major "influencers" tell you to do. I had some skepticism myself and that's why I wanted to have this man, the original cold exposure and breath work guy on himself, Wim Hof! He is a man who has redefined the limits of the human mind and body. Known globally as The Iceman, Wim Hof has shown millions of people how to take control of their physiology through breath, cold exposure, and mindset. From climbing mountains in nothing but shorts to teaching everyday men how to regulate stress, build resilience, and reconnect with their primal strength, Wim's work challenges everything we think we know about comfort, health, and human potential. Today, we're talking about cold, breath, discipline, and what it really means to return to our factory settings as men.

Most people fail under pressure because they never trained for it. What holds up under pressure is built long before comfort disappears. Army veteran, burn survivor, speaker, and actor JR Martinez sits down with Joe De Sena to break down how discipline is built before the crisis, why weak standards collapse fast, and how ownership, autonomy, and daily reps create real resilience. They cover parenting without rescue, pausing instead of reacting, using discomfort as data, and why refusing to lower standards is non-negotiable. Listeners leave with clear rules for holding the line when pressure hits.   Things You Will Learn: Why pressure exposes weak standards and untrained discipline How refusing rescue builds strength, autonomy, and resilience How to stay in the fight when stress removes comfort Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pressure as the Test: Shows what was actually trained No-Rescue Parenting and Leadership: Builds ownership and accountability Pause Before You Break: Keeps control when pressure spikes Timestamps: 00:38 Childhood responsibility and building autonomy early 07:37 When pressure exposes weak standards 13:15 Learning to pause instead of reacting under stress 17:45 Pressure as a test not a punishment 20:49 Using hardship as data instead of excuses   If this episode moved you, don't just listen.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I wish I could tell my past self during the holidays — the version of me who thought discipline meant control, restriction, and never letting up.If the holidays make you feel anxious around food, training, or losing progress, this is your reminder to take a step back.We talk about:Why binging during the holidays is often a response to restriction — not lack of willpowerHow guilt and “damage control” only keep you stuck in the same cycleWhy relaxing around food and training isn't quitting — it's regulatingHow obsessing over workouts and meals can steal presence and joyLetting go of perfection so you can actually enjoy time with family and friendsBuilding a long-term plan that supports your life — not a life built around controlling your bodyResources & Links:MY BODY FAT SCALE - https://www.humehealth.com/CHERYL35275MY FITNESS TRACKER  - https://join.whoop.com/1738C8Set up a strategy session:https://forms.gle/KUPw1spZyxdkgTbn8FitBodyRX Nutrition programs:https://myfitbodyrx.com/programsJoin my free nutrition group :https://www.facebook.com/groups/294530606718030Follow me on IG:https://www.instagram.com/cherylnasso

Single-family rental investors are heading into 2026 with a more disciplined, selective mindset, according to new survey data. While investor confidence remains intact, the era of "growth at all costs" appears to be over. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest Q4 2025 LendingOne/ResiClub Single-Family Rental Investor Survey, including what it reveals about buying and selling plans, portfolio rebalancing, rising insurance costs, rent expectations, and shifting views on mortgage rates. The data points to a market driven less by speculation and more by fundamentals, cost control, and long-term strategy as investors position themselves for 2026. We look at what's driving inflation now — including food, energy, and shelter costs — and how markets reacted to the softer-than-expected data. 

Get Daily Motivational Emails from Brian https://thesuccesslift.com/join    In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian Pannuzzo calls out how the holidays quietly crush discipline. The truth is simple: when standards drop, progress stops.   Alcohol isn't harmless. It's a multiplier. Client events, parties, and packed schedules make it easy to drift. One drink leads to poor food choices, low energy, and stalled results. Brian breaks down how alcohol impacts nutrition, recovery, and focus and why busy professionals feel it the hardest.   Avoiding social situations isn't the answer. Owning your decisions is. Brian shares practical strategies for planning ahead, setting expectations, and staying in control without skipping events. Discipline doesn't disappear during the holidays, it's tested.   This episode is a wake-up call for anyone using the season as an excuse. If you want momentum instead of regret heading into the new year, you must respond to the environment with a strategy.

As the year closes, most people are already mentally checked out. But the truth is, the first quarter of 2026 is being built right now.In this episode of the Q4 Motivational Series, we focus on preparing for Q1 with intention — setting clear goals, visualizing success, and making the identity shift required to sustain real progress. This isn't about motivation for January. It's about discipline in December.We break down how to define meaningful Q1 goals, mentally rehearse the version of yourself that achieves them, and align your daily habits with the standards of who you're becoming. Because you don't rise to your goals — you fall to your identity.If you're serious about entering 2026 with clarity, structure, and momentum, this episode will help you stop waiting and start becoming.

"Potential won't make your impact. Purpose will." Potential is often misunderstood. We think it's enough to have talent or opportunity. Yet potential by itself is energy waiting to be used, possibilities waiting to be realized. It exists quietly until we choose to act. The challenge is that many of us stay in potential too long. We let titles, achievements, or the idea of success define us. We fill our time with distractions, scrolling through screens or chasing convenience, thinking we are busy when we are avoiding the work that matters. Growth requires effort, discipline, and focus. Purpose changes the game. Purpose is when potential becomes action, when effort meets opportunity, when small steps build toward impact. It's about showing up, doing the work, and staying consistent even when progress is slow. It's about stepping into new spaces, building relationships, and taking risks that open doors. Purpose touches your work, your family, and your legacy. Living with purpose means knowing your worth is not tied to a role or achievement. It's in the effort, the discipline in small things, and the choice to keep moving forward. Potential starts the journey, but purpose is what makes the difference. In this final episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, we wrap up 2025 with reflection and gratitude. The focus is on moving from potential to purpose and understanding that growth takes action, not just ability. As the year comes to a close, we revisit lessons on identity beyond job titles, mental health, discipline, and showing up consistently. This episode offers a clear reminder that real progress comes from doing the work and staying grounded as you prepare for the year ahead. "Potential is a lot of stored-up energy and possibilities. Purpose is when you start to execute and make the impact you want on others and on the world." - Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:56) The power of collaboration and unexpected opportunities (00:04:11) Mental health as a foundation for performance (00:05:40) Discipline, rehab, and doing the work consistently (00:06:47) Your worth is not tied to performance (00:08:05) Stewardship of small things leads to bigger doors (00:08:42) Pushing past limits one step at a time (00:09:31) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

The Luddites weren't afraid of technology. They were afraid of losing control over their work, their time, and their future. Two hundred years later, we're standing in the same moment again—this time with artificial intelligence.This episode breaks down why the real AI debate isn't about intelligence, productivity, or innovation. It's about power, consent, and who benefits when technology is deployed without public agreement. We unpack AI hype, media language, education risks, productivity myths, and the growing gap between performance and substance in modern culture.This is a Warrior Mindset conversation about discipline, boundaries, and refusing the lie of inevitability.Topics include:– Modern Luddites and AI– Power vs progress– Consent, labor, and automation– Discipline over performance– Training, culture, and responsibilitySend us a text

On this episode of Preaching to the Choir, I challenge a comfortable lie too many men believe: that saying you'd die for your family somehow equals leadership.Words are easy. Declarations are cheap. Virtue signaling costs nothing.Living for your family is where the real work begins. Consistency. Discipline. Showing up in the mundane and the boring, day after day, when no one is watching. That's how trust is built. That's how families are strengthened. That's how legacy is earned.We live in a culture obsessed with talk and performance, yet allergic to responsibility and follow-through. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn't found in dramatic sacrifice, but in quiet obedience, daily effort, and long-term commitment.Stop talking about who you'd die for. Start proving who you're willing to live for.CarniVault Freeze Dried Meats-Use "MG10" to save!https://carnivault.comUse MG20 to save 20% at Wasatch Wagyuhttps://wasatchwagyu.comUse Code "MGS15" for %15 OFF on your first order!https://firecracker.farm/Join my patreonhttps://patreon.com/mikeglover

-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsWhat if the habits you're most proud of, like discipline, the mileage, and the wins, are quietly working against you?Alex Ostberg returns to the show to sit down with Dominic and unpack the ideas behind his four most recent Substack essays, each challenging a deeply held assumption in running and high performance.They tackle the popular mantra “the way you do one thing is the way you do all things.” Alex argues that greatness isn't about equal intensity everywhere, but intentional trade-offs, seasonal focus, and knowing what deserves obsession.From there, they discuss training load and why not all miles are created equal. Alex explains why injury risk is less about total mileage and more about how that load is built.The guys then take aim at a sacred post-workout ritual in Cooldowns Are Overrated. He reframes recovery around what actually matters most: refueling, rehydration, nervous system reset, and social decompression, rather than mindless extra miles on tired legs.Then they talk about the psychology of success in When Winning Stops Feeling Good, exploring why anticipation often feels better than achievement, and how rising expectations can quietly drain joy from performance. If you want to train smarter, think deeper, and understand the real costs (and rewards) of chasing excellence, this episode will change how you run, recover, and define success.Tap into the Alex Ostberg Rundown Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

How can a baby be an "Everlasting Father?" In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares about this name given to our Savior before His birth. The name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua (Joshua). Yeshua in Greek is Iēsoûs. Translated from Greek to English, it becomes Jesus.Joshua, Yeshua, Iēsoûs, and Jesus are the same name in different languages, all meaning "Yahweh is salvation.""Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning "anointed one." Christ is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Mashiach or "Messiah." It's not Jesus' last name—it's His title. In the end, it doesn't matter which language you use to call on the Savior; what matters is that you call on Him.Isaiah 9:6 tells us that His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.In Hebrew culture, names don't just identify a person; they declare purpose, describe ability, and reveal character. So why is a baby—who grows into a man with no natural-born children—called Everlasting Father?Everlasting means "from here on out." From this point forward, Jesus is the perfect and final representation of God the Father.Jesus made this clear in John 14: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." He wasn't just a prophet bringing God's message—He was bringing God Himself to us.He said, "The Father and I are one" (John 10).Scripture declares that Christ is "the visible image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15) and "the exact imprint of his nature" (Hebrews 1:3).Five ways Jesus displayed the Father to us:A father protects. When danger came, Jesus stepped forward so His disciples could go free (John 18). Protection is love in action.A father provides. God meets your needs through your relationship with the Son (Philippians 4:19). Jesus didn't just preach to the 5,000—He fed them.A father is approachable. We come boldly to God's throne to receive mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:16). In Christ, the throne room isn't a courtroom—it's a living room.A father disciplines. God's correction is proof that we belong to Him (Hebrews 12). Discipline is formative, not punitive—it's about who you are becoming.A father loves unconditionally. God loved us first and sent His Son because He is love (1 John 4).You may not have had a father in the home, but you have a Father in heaven who wants to be the Father of your heart.Humanity misunderstood God's heart, so God didn't shout louder from heaven—He translated Himself into flesh.Jesus is God, translated into our language.At Christmas, God didn't just send a message—He sent us one of us.Some of us believe in Jesus but still relate to God through fear or distance. Let God translate Himself through the Son. Receive Jesus as your Everlasting Father.Are you letting Jesus be your Everlasting Father?

Explore the concept of 'praying without ceasing' as explained through 1 Thessalonians 5:17: "Pray without ceasing.” This insightful video delves into the idea of regular, heartfelt prayer and how it connects us to a divine 'live stream' from heaven. Discover the joy and power of prayer as more than a duty, but a delightful interaction with God's presence, supported by biblical references and historical anecdotes. God Himself is the initiator of prayer. Prayer begins in God and we are all just joining in the Live Stream of prayer that Heaven is already making available. All we have to do is to join it and be carried along with the Stream of Prayer that is flowing from Him. ‘Without ceasing' means REGULARLY, without any unnecessary gaps, as often as required. The word 'adialeiptos' (translated ‘without ceasing') was used to describe a tickling cough. A tickling cough is not one where you cough non-stop. It means that you cough without long gaps between coughs! *I. Let's move from RARE PRAYER to REGULAR PRAYER. Regular prayer doesn't mean that we are praying 24/7, but that we are in a constant flow of prayer. We are constantly accessing Heaven's Live Stream of prayer, which catches us up into God's Presence to walk with Him. “Praying at ALL TIMES (in every opportunity) with all kinds of prayer IN the SPIRIT (Ephesians 6:18). This is the key to joining Heaven's Live Stream of Prayer. We struggle to join it with our head! Our head is too limited. That's why we have the Holy Spirit living within our spirits, who makes us able to join that Live Stream. He helps us to tune into the bandwidth of Heaven and join in with what's flowing from God's Throne. We need to PRAY in the SPIRIT. Praying in tongues is one way we can pray in the Spirit, and join Heaven's Live Stream, but it is not the only way. Praying in the Spirit is praying from the Spirit within us, depending on the Spirit to lead and empower us in prayer. It is a way in which we pray, and a place from which we pray, more than it is a kind of prayer. *II. Let's move from HEAD to HEART. We will never be able to pray without ceasing, if we pray only from our HEAD. We have to go from prayer that only comes out of our HEADS to praying from our HEARTS, prayer in which we bring up from the core of our being, expressing God's life & heart of God within us. It's praying from our HEART. Martin Luther: “Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.” God invites us to pray from His heart - praying from His lap, from His Father heart. We hear His heartbeat, as we put our head to His heart, like the beloved disciple (John) at the Last Supper, who laid his head on Jesus' chest (John 13:23). We can hear His heartbeat and pray His heart. The Holy Spirit will give us the right word to return to the Father in prayer. Prayer is joining God's Live Stream, so what pours out of Heaven through His Word & Spirit enters into us, and through prayer we offer it back to Him in Heaven. Then He responds in the Earth with answers: “So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 54:11). Man was never designed to live only from his HEAD. Man was designed to live from his HEART, from the core of his being. And so, let us PRAY from there. *III. Let's move from DUTY to DELIGHT. God wants us to take us from the DUTY of prayer to the DELIGHT of prayer. For many people, prayer is a CHORE, or worse a BORE, when it is so much MORE! Prayer is a DELIGHT. In Matthew 21:13, Jesus quoted from Isaiah 56:7: “I will make them JOYFUL in My House of PRAYER.” There is JOY in the House of PRAYER. Have we found joy in prayer? If not, let's get into Prayer's Live Stream. God's Live Stream will carry you on and carry you up! Psalm 34:5: “They looked to Him (in prayer) and their faces were light (radiant with joy).” When we look to God in prayer, rather than looking to ourselves and our own resources, we go beyond the DUTY and the DISCIPLINE of prayer, and get caught up in the DELIGHT (joy) of prayer. 1Thess 5:17 is the meat in the sandwich: “pray without ceasing.” 1Thess 5:16 & 18 are the bread. These 3 verses are a triptych of simple exhortations: “(1) REJOICE always, (2) PRAY without ceasing, (3) in everything GIVE THANKS” (1Thess 5:16-18). God doesn't want us in the DRUDGERY of prayer! He wants us to discover the DELIGHT of prayer. So, let us join Heaven's Live Stream of Prayer that God has made available to us.

In this episode, I talk about the idea of the avoidance list and why success is more about what you don't do than what you do. This comes from a story in the book The Third Door and a strategy often linked to Warren Buffett, even though he didn't actually create it. The idea is simple: pick your top five goals and avoid the other twenty, not because they're bad, but because they distract you. Focus is limited, and trying to do everything weakens your results. I will explain why a “not-to-do” list might be more powerful than any to-do list. Show Notes: [03:53]#1 Most people fail through too much addition, not through subtraction.  [10:25]#2 True power is in restraint, not commitment.  [15:19]#3 Discipline creates presence.  [18:04] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1193: Focus: The Force Multiplier Next Steps: ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com

Pascal Wagner interviews Matt Faircloth, John Casmon, and Ash Patel in a year-end roundtable reflecting on the biggest lessons from 2025 across their own portfolios and hundreds of investor interviews. The group digs into why distress has been slower and more “behind the scenes” than expected, how liquidity, discipline, and deal structure mattered more than macro predictions, and why many LPs are now prioritizing cash flow and capital preservation over appreciation. They also debate bridge debt, LP risk assessment, and where opportunities may emerge in 2026—from small-cap multifamily inefficiencies to deeply discounted office assets—while emphasizing accountability, conservative underwriting, and adaptability as the cycle evolves.
