Scott Selix of Lua in Des Moines, Iowa, started his career as a brewer before leaving for law school. After a brief stint as an attorney, the gravitational pull of the brewing world ultimately proved too strong for him to overcome. Now at Lua, he has the freedom to explore the creative front edge of progressive styles such as hazy IPA while also delving into low-ABV pale lagers—which, he admits, he and the brew team largely brew for themselves. In this episode, Selix discusses: pushing the limits of hazy IPA with 65 percent adjunct malt testing new approaches and constantly updating their core hazy IPA nailing the visual appeal of hazy beer balancing sweetness, fullness, and bitterness launching THC beverage brand Climbing Kites designing the brewhouse for decoction and step-mashing minimizing hot-side aeration with low-DO techniques cereal-mashing with local grain brewing 2.5 percent ABV table lager with Strisselspalt hops what “rustic” means in the lager context serving lager with lime in a frozen mug And more.

You pull a sample to do a forced diacetyl test, and you wait for it in silence. Something feels not quite right.

How many days until it clears? And then you wake up and remember that you use Berkeley Yeast's FRESH™ Chico. It's got ALDC inside every cell, so diacetyl can't even form in the first place.

Send us a voicemail to tell us what you think!What makes a man masculine—and when did looking masculine become evidence that a man is holy?After a one-star review accused us of promoting “feminized Christianity,” we decided to talk about it. We unpack the rise of “muscular Christianity,” the caricatures of Catholic masculinity online, and why strength, discipline, lifting weights, leadership, and doing hard things are good—but aren't the same thing as holiness.More importantly, we talk about what marriage and fatherhood eventually demand from a man: sacrifice, humility, emotional maturity, prayer, surrender to God, and the ability to carry burdens that can't be lifted in a weight room.In this episode: • “Feminized Christianity” vs. muscular Christianity • Why masculine appearance isn't the same as virtue • What marriage actually requires from men • Discipline, athletics, and self-mastery • Masculinity as integration rather than performance • Why fatherhood requires more than toughness

Title: Signal Discipline: How Brands Use AI, Customer Signals, and Memory to Build TrustHost: Nick Brunker (Managing Director of Experience Strategy, VML)Guest: Adam Troyak (Managing Director, VML & WPP Enterprise Solutions)OverviewIn an era where AI makes capturing and storing customer data easier than ever, why are 77% of organizations reporting that AI adoption has outpaced their governance?In this episode of Human Centered, host Nick Brunker welcomes back Adam Troyak to unpack Signal Discipline—the strategic framework that separates customer care from customer surveillance. Adam breaks down why the biggest competitive advantage in AI isn't gathering more data, but developing the judgment to know what to remember, what to forget, and what to say out loud.Key Takeaways & Topics Covered:Data vs. Signals: Why functional data (clicks, browsing history) belongs to tech infrastructure, while first-party signals (human needs, self-disclosed preferences) belong to experience strategy.The "Surveilled" Trap: Why over 80% of tech spend lands in the high-data/low-trust quadrant—and why restraint is the true fix.The 5-Layer Signal Model: A step-by-step breakdown of Signals, Context, Memory, Trust, and Relationships.The Memory Policy Engine: How to build the "middle layer" in your tech stack that programmatically decides when data should persist, decay, surface, or be forgotten.Cross-Functional Alignment: Bringing the CIO, CMO, and Chief Risk Officer into the same room to map the 25 key "trust-bonding" moments in the customer journey.Read more of Adam's written pieces on Signal DisciplineThe Drum

Send us Fan MailA beautiful logo might attract attention—but without a meaningful story and clear strategy, it cannot build a lasting brand.Stella Grigoryan, founder and creative director of Analogia Creative, joins Joey Pinz to explain why branding must come before design and marketing.

Her path took her from linguistics and journalism to ten years of visual storytelling at Voice of America, entrepreneurship in hospitality, and ultimately strategic branding.Stella explains why businesses often waste money promoting themselves before defining what they represent. She also explores how founders can uncover their real story, why customers may perceive a company differently than its owner does, and how emotion makes a brand memorable.The conversation moves beyond business into Stella's natural optimism, Armenian hospitality, motherhood, intuition, meaningful relationships, and her belief that discipline sometimes means remaining quiet—even when you believe you are right.Top Three Highlights

Send us Fan MailWhat if the best use of artificial intelligence isn't replacing people—but helping them do more meaningful work?Fixify co-founder and CEO Matt Peters joins Joey Pinz to explore how AI, automation, and human care can work together to transform IT support. Drawing on his experience at Check Point, Mandiant, FireEye, and Expel, Matt explains why technology only becomes valuable when it solves a real customer problem.Matt also shares lessons from growing up in Thailand, Pakistan, and Sierra Leone. Those experiences taught him that solutions created from a distance often collapse when they meet reality. Whether designing software, leading a company, or running an MSP, leaders must understand what is actually happening on the ground.The conversation explores Fixify's human-in-the-loop approach, the questions MSPs should ask before investing in AI, and why automation should elevate talented technicians instead of eliminating them. Matt also discusses coaching youth softball, overcoming imposter syndrome, protecting family priorities, and focusing on effort when results remain uncertain.

Send us Fan MailWhat separates a job from a profession—and a manager from a genuine leader?Michelle Woodward Hodges, SVP of Global Channels and Alliances at Barracuda, joins Joey Pinz to explore leadership evolution, channel transformation, cybersecurity partnerships, and the personal systems behind sustained success.Michelle shares how growing up in a military family taught her resilience, self-reliance, and the ability to adapt quickly. She also explains how a liberal-arts education and an unexpected introduction to technology led to a global channel career spanning VMware, GitLab, Microsoft, SAP, Intel, Ivanti, and Barracuda.The conversation gets especially candid when Michelle discusses evolving beyond her early “bull in a china shop” leadership style, the career tax many mothers experience, and why men must move from passive allyship to active advocacy.She also explains what “partner first, partner only” should mean to MSPs, why tool sprawl undermines profitability, and why the strongest technology providers focus on customer outcomes and human relationships.Her memorable philosophy captures the entire conversation: “You've got to show up to glow up.”Top three highlights

Send us Fan MailWhat if the habits meant to make you sound agreeable are actually weakening your authority?Victoria Nelson left a toxic family environment in Russia at 18 with approximately $500 and a bag of clothes. After rebuilding her life in London, she entered the fashion photography industry, managed demanding personalities and eventually secured work that included a GQ cover. Years later, as a working mother without a completed bachelor's degree, she challenged another perceived limitation by studying negotiation through programs at Harvard and Columbia.Today, Victoria is the founder of Power of the Ask, advising leaders and professionals on negotiation, executive communication and conflict under pressure.In this conversation with Joey Pinz, Victoria explains why negotiation is not limited to salaries and contracts—it shapes how people perceive, trust and respond to us every day. She reveals why over-explaining can undermine authority, how written preparation improves important conversations and why avoiding conflict allows problems to grow.Top three highlights✈️ Turning disadvantages into advantages: How being a young immigrant woman helped Victoria build relationships and enter rooms that initially appeared inaccessible. 

Send us Fan MailWhy do promising AI initiatives fail even when the technology works? Heather McLean believes the answer usually involves people, processes, leadership, and trust.Heather is an Air Force veteran, technology leader, entrepreneur, and founder of McLean Forrester. In this conversation with Joey Pinz, she shares how leading experienced teams as a 22-year-old officer taught her to respect technical expertise and earn trust instead of relying on rank. She also explains why leadership means caring for people, keeping commitments, and becoming someone others genuinely want to follow.The conversation moves into practical AI strategy. Heather outlines three questions every organization should answer before investing: Where are you now, where do you want to go, and do your leaders and employees support the change? She identifies poor governance, weak use-case selection, bad data, and unchanged business processes as common causes of disappointing AI results.Heather also discusses corporate burnout, entrepreneurial vulnerability, people-first decision-making, learning sales as an introvert, and why consistency and healthy boundaries matter.Top Three Highlights

Send us Fan MailCybersecurity threats are becoming faster, more targeted, and increasingly difficult to recognize—but many organizations continue to neglect the fundamentals.In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Andy Syrewicze draws on 24 years in IT to explain how artificial intelligence is transforming phishing, Microsoft 365 security, and the responsibilities of MSPs. Andy serves as Principal Security Advocate for the MSP market at Hornetsecurity by Proofpoint and is a 13-time Microsoft MVP.Andy recounts a Black Hat demonstration in which locally hosted AI models produced personalized spear-phishing emails in approximately 90 seconds—even generating a well-written message in French. He also explains why businesses must stop treating security products as one-time fixes and continually reassess configurations, permissions, MFA, and evolving best practices.The conversation explores Andy's journey from configuring dinosaur mouse cursors and accidentally erasing an application share to becoming a respected security advocate. Andy also shares why technical professionals should be comfortable saying, “I don't know,” provided they are committed to finding the answer.

Send us Fan MailAnne Montgomery spent much of her life entering places where women were told they did not belong. She pursued sports broadcasting when male coaches refused to be interviewed by her, became a certified official across five major team sports, worked for ESPN and eventually led a football officiating crew as its referee.Then her television career abruptly ended.What initially felt like rejection pushed Anne into teaching at a Title I high school. Her demanding newsroom mentality collided with the realities facing students experiencing poverty, hunger, homelessness and abuse. One encounter with a frequently late student forced her to reconsider how she judged people. Years later, a phone call from a hungry foster child led Anne—who never expected to become a parent—to open her home and become a mother and grandmother.Today, she is also a traditionally published novelist, musician, scuba diver and lifelong rock collector.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when determination takes you up the wrong mountain?Robin Harris—technologist, certified hypnotherapist, interfaith minister, storyteller, and advocate for human potential—joins Joey Pinz to explore how social conditioning, fear, technology, and spiritual disconnection can pull people away from the lives they were meant to create.Robin explains how an unexpected layoff ended a decades-long chapter in technology and forced her to reconsider her path. She shares how evolutionary astrology helped her recognize patterns she wishes she had understood 20 years earlier—and why hard work alone cannot save us when it is directed toward the wrong destination.The conversation also examines artificial intelligence and the growing risk of allowing technological capability to outpace human wisdom. Robin argues that AI computes but does not possess conscience, making critical thinking, discernment, self-awareness, and human oversight more important than ever.From anime's “I must get stronger” mindset to hypnotherapy, sacred intelligence, spiritual wounds, creative storytelling, and the courage to activate our potential, this episode asks a powerful question: Are you consciously designing your life—or living a story chosen by someone else?

Send us Fan MailAI can help businesses identify threats faster—but it also introduces new agents, behaviors, conversations, and vulnerabilities that must be secured.Ryan Grant, Country Manager for ESET North America, joins Joey Pinz to explain how cybersecurity is changing as organizations rapidly adopt artificial intelligence. Ryan shares lessons from competitive sports, his first technology role with an MSP, more than two decades at Ingram Micro, and his transition to leading ESET across North America.The conversation examines ESET's updated PROTECT portfolio, including AI agent security, behavioral monitoring, conversation security, MDR, and its combination of artificial intelligence with human oversight. Ryan also reveals why many smaller businesses remain dangerously dependent on basic antivirus protection while overlooking fundamentals such as multifactor authentication, patch management, email security, governance, and continuous monitoring.He explains why MSPs should extend existing cybersecurity frameworks into AI instead of creating an isolated AI practice—and why prevention must receive as much attention as incident response.

It can start with something as simple as one mile.Chris started with one mile a day and continued building from there. That consistency eventually led to thousands of miles of running and the much larger challenges he's taking on today.The episode also explores the difference between pursuing discipline because of external expectations and pursuing discipline because of a deeper sense of faith and purpose.Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisaverycoaching/WHAT WE TALK ABOUT• Chris Avery's journey from addiction to transformation• Faith, Christianity, and personal discipline• How running became part of Chris's life transformation• Starting with one mile and building through consistency• Marathon running and endurance• Chris's upcoming run around the perimeter of the United States• The Run with Christ Blueprint• Faith-driven discipline vs. worldly self-optimization• Purpose and why it matters• The role of suffering and difficult seasons in personal growth• Addiction, replacing destructive habits, and finding meaningful pursuits• Fatherhood and leading by example• Building consistency through daily action• Why the journey can matter more than the finish lineThis is a conversation about running, but it's really about something much bigger: what you're building your life around and what happens when you keep showing up.If you've ever struggled with finding purpose, building discipline, changing direction, or simply figuring out where to start, there's plenty here to think about.If you enjoy the conversation, like the video, subscribe to Wild Life Outdoors, and leave a comment.

Student debt, market noise, and the psychology of investing come under the microscope in this episode of SoundPractice. Host Mike Sacopulos welcomes Ed Coburn, leader of Cabot Wealth Network, a financial publisher based in Salem, Massachusetts, that has helped investors build wealth since 1970. Coburn is editor of the Cabot Investing Guide and author of the forthcoming book Investing Without Hype. In this candid conversation, Coburn explains how physicians can build sound financial habits in an attention-scarce world. He discusses why intelligence can become a liability for investors, why a written plan matters more than a hot stock tip, and how AI and financial influencers have added to the noise investors must learn to filter out. Key Topics Balancing student loan repayment with early retirement savings Understanding why smart, high-achieving professionals can become overconfident investors Defining “investing without hype” and recognizing how attention-driven media can distort decision-making Separating signal from noise by watching for red flags such as absolute predictions and overconfident language Avoiding common behavioral mistakes during volatile markets, including loss aversion and emotional attachment to stocks Clarifying the difference between disciplined investing and gambling Resource Know Your Investor Profile Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership. https://doi.org/10.55834/sp.1026723178

What does discipline actually look like in your 20s when motivation disappears?In this episode, I sit down with Christian Edward-Ngwu to talk about the less glamorous side of building a life you're proud of: making financial sacrifices, dealing with burnout, staying consistent when you don't feel like it, and creating structures that make discipline easier instead of relying on willpower.We also get into the pressure to “have it together” early, the trade-offs that come with ambition, and why discipline is often less about being tougher and more about designing your life better.If you're in your 20s trying to become more consistent, financially responsible and intentional without burning yourself out, this conversation is for you.Connect with Christian @thechristian.en on Instagramand follow us on Instagram @friendsunfilteredpod

That voice in your head that says you could have done better, should have worked harder, and it's still not enough? You've probably called it motivation for years. Maybe even discipline.In this episode, we talk with Loz Antonenko, well-being coach, speaker, and bestselling author of Get the Fuck Unstuck, about the voice so many high-achieving women rely on to keep moving forward, and what it might actually be costing them. With her unfiltered honesty and humor, Loz opens up about her own experience of looking like she had it all together on the outside while something very different was happening underneath.Together, we explore the tension between ambition and self-respect, what happens when the drive that built your success starts to feel like pressure, and the strange, unfamiliar space that opens up when you finally stop pushing. We also talk about the difference between the voice that pushes you forward and the voice that quietly wears you down, and why it can be so hard to tell them apart.Episode Resources✨ Work with Loz: Get Your Mojo Back in 12 Weeks is a personalised online coaching program for busy women who feel stuck with their energy, weight, and confidence, built around simple habits that fit real life.✨ Download my Self-Love Cheat Sheet: simple, practical reminders to help you replace self-judgment with self-respect and build a more loving relationship with yourself, one small choice at a time.In this episode, we explore:✨ Why so many of us confuse self-criticism with discipline✨ Where the voice in your head might have come from✨ What can be hiding behind a life that looks successful from the outside✨ Why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable for high-achieving women✨ What it means when self-love is something you do, not something you feelIf you've ever wondered whether the voice pushing you forward is also the one holding you back, this conversation may change how you hear it.Connect with Loz

But I am here to tell you that waiting is a weak choice—it is surrender in slow motion. When you sit around waiting for orders, a savior, or a boss to direct your life, you hand away your power and stay stuck on the sidelines. In this Tuesday episode, we are putting waiting versus acting side-by-side to break down the brutal truths that separate the passive man from the leader: If you see it, it's yours to fix: Stop walking past problems in your home, job, or life hoping someone else will deal with them—if you spot a gap, step up and own it immediately. Discipline is doing it before you feel it: Waiting until you feel motivated is a trap that keeps you lazy; true discipline means taking action long before the feeling ever arrives. The man who moves first leads: Leaders don't sit back waiting for permission or orders—they take the initiative, move first, and set the standard for everyone in their ecosystem. Tomorrow, we are diving deep into the Initiative Code to lay out the exact framework on how to activate immediately without waiting to be told what to do. Warriors Rise!

Lieutenant Colonel Phill Cochran spent more than two decades flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon. He flew operational missions from Misawa Air Base, Japan in the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses. Later he trained the next generation of fighter pilots between 1990 and 2013 at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona and Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma. His career took him around the world, including Singapore, Africa, Germany, and Korea. Lt. Col. Cochran is the father of seven, and is also a grandfather. He spent 23 years as a pastor. Now retired from military service, he has authored the book, Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound: A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Faith, Discipline and Trust. As we read through the Scriptures, we see the Lord Jesus using many illustrations as He taught. He used agriculture by taking examples from a mustard seed, an olive tree, different types of soil and fields that were white unto harvest. He also used illustrations of shepherding, fishing and everyday life - things with which people were familiar. In similar fashion, the apostle Paul used various vocations to drive home spiritual truth in his letters. He compared a minister of the Word to a teacher who passes on Biblical truth to others, a farmer that labors and partakes in the first of his fruits, an athlete that runs the race faithfully and finishes his course with joy and a good soldier that endures hardness. Indeed, we relate to illustrations such as these. Our guest today has written from a vantage point that is unique to him. He was a fighter pilot and has written a devotional book that draws from his everyday experiences with application that presents Biblical truth.

The PGA Tour's "On the Mark" podcast is one of Jamy Bechler's favorites to listen to and so he was excited to appear as a guest and talk with host Mark Immelman. This is a throw back episode from 5 years ago as we go into the vault to replay this fun episode.   ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION Jamy Bechler is a former College Basketball Coach and Professor turned Professional Speaker, Leadership Trainer and Executive Business Coach. He is "John Maxwell Team" certified and travels the USA to motivate and coach people and organizations on how to build a championship culture. Jamy joins the show to discuss his book - The Leadership Playbook - and how you can become the best version of yourself. He specifically addresses his 7 Foundational Principles of Leadership: Success is a Choice, Integrity, Positive Attitude, Discipline, Responsibility, Respect and Growth. He also ties these elements into the game of golf and illustrates how development in these areas can help you not only grow, but improve your game.    "ON THE MARK" DESCRIPTION The On the Mark podcast offers listeners best-in-class golf instruction plus interviews with PGA TOUR players, coaches, caddies, sports psychologists, fitness trainers, and more. Mark Immelman is an accomplished broadcaster, golf instructor, college coach, and author. He has coached players to success on the PGA TOUR, European Tour and Sunshine Tour.

It was in that capacity that he was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter, following an incident in which he was hit by an errant golf shot in the 2014 Farmers Insurance Open (watch here).

Most people think they have a money problem, but really they have an imagination problem. We're taught to earn, spend, save, invest, borrow, repay—and repeat. That's the success ladder according to contemporary talking heads. Most just try to get better results using this ladder without ever questioning the system itself. In this episode of our Becoming Your Own Banker series, Kyle Reese and I break down one of Nelson Nash's most important ideas: before you can become your own banker, you have to imagine that banking can be done differently. Key Takeaways - Knowledge shows you what already exists. Imagination asks what could exist. - Stop looking at money one transaction at a time. Step back and you'll start seeing the banking system behind those transactions. - Working harder inside the wrong system doesn't fix the system. - Sometimes you need to question the method itself. - The life insurance policy is the instrument—not the idea. The bigger idea is controlling more of the banking function in your life. - Knowledge helps you understand IBC. Imagination lets you see yourself doing it. Discipline turns it into reality.

When companies view workforce payroll strictly as an expense rather than an appreciating financial asset, they trigger a compounding cycle of organizational drift that silently destroys enterprise value. In this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer, executive coach, human capital strategist, and author of Human Capital Investment Strategy and Now, Near, Next. Together, they unpack how subtle misalignments between strategy and workforce execution quietly bleed cash flow through high turnover, lost productivity, and stalled mid-career talent. Cynthia explains her foundational framework, The Law of Drift, and makes a compelling business case for why short-term head-count cuts frequently undermine long-term market valuation. The conversation reframes traditional workforce planning through the lens of portfolio management, applying risk stratification, performance metrics, and validated psychometrics directly to talent allocation. Cynthia shares actionable strategies for measuring organizational culture, overcoming gendered promotion barriers, and building real succession readiness across critical executive roles. Leaders will gain a clear roadmap for running structured quarterly human capital reviews, aligning talent directly with business performance, and taking immediate action to eliminate drift across their teams. Stop managing human capital as an overhead cost and start building a high-performing workforce that compounds enterprise value over time. About Our Guest: Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is a human capital strategist, board-certified executive coach, and international keynote speaker with over 30 years of C-suite leadership experience. Grounded in the conviction that human capital is an appreciating asset, she helps CEOs, executive teams, and boards translate talent strategy into business metrics like risk, return, and compounding value. Cynthia is the creator of The Law of Drift and The Discipline of Direction™, frameworks designed to help high-performing leaders and organizations replace passive drift with intentional alignment. She is the author of Human Capital Investment Strategy and the USA Today bestseller Now, Near, Next, as well as host of the podcast Climbing the Corporate Ladder Without Breaking a Heel. Beyond her advisory work, she serves on non-profit boards dedicated to empowering underserved communities, including Dreams to Reality and AbleLight.

Welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg. Today's episode is a bit of a reality check in the best way possible. We're talking about what it really means to run a disciplined, high-performing collision business. My guest is Doug Higgins, founder of Collision Advisory and former CEO of TAG Auto Group. Doug brings a rare combination to this industry — he spent over a decade at Kroger as a divisional CFO overseeing a $2 billion business, then transitioned into collision repair where he served as both CFO and CEO of a multi-location group. In other words, he's seen how great businesses are run at scale, and he's also sat in the exact seat many of you are in today. In this conversation, we're breaking down financial discipline in collision repair: what most shops think they know versus what the numbers actually say, where profitability is quietly leaking, how to think about capital allocation, and what it really takes to scale the right way. If you're serious about building a better business, not just a busier one, this episode is for you. Let's get into it. Connect with Doug: LinkedIn https://collisionadvisory.com/

— Struggling to discipline your kids? We'll show you how Discipleship Discipline can help.

An emotionally absent father can be home every single night, and his children can still feel the absence. I know, because I grew up that way. In this conversation, Dr. Warren Farrell, author of The Boy Crisis and Role Mate to Soul Mate, explains what he calls being dad deprived, why boys are falling so far behind, and how the way mothers and fathers each set boundaries shapes a child for life. Warren once served on the board of the National Organization for Women in New York City, and he shares what it cost him to start speaking up for boys and men. We also talk about his practical tools for couples, including how to hear your spouse's criticism without getting defensive, because a strong marriage is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. Warren has spent his career studying men, women, and the family. The Financial Times named him one of the world's top 100 thought leaders, his books have been published in 19 languages, and The Boy Crisis helped launch the current conversation about how our sons are doing. That work is now the subject of a documentary, The Boy Crisis, which is screening in Canada next year and in London in summer 2027, and I encourage you to watch the trailer at the link below. He tells me how his work with women's groups led to starting men's groups, and how listening to those men changed everything. Man after man had quietly given up work he loved so his wife and children could have more. When Warren began sharing what he learned, the standing ovations and the television invitations started to disappear. We talk honestly about the boy crisis and why father involvement matters so much. Warren explains why he never uses the word fatherless, since every child has a father, and why being dad deprived can happen even in a home where Dad never leaves. I share my own story of a father who was always home, yet whose attention I longed for, and how that shaped me. Warren describes what he heard when he asked men in prison about their fathers, and why kids actually get to bed sooner when Dad is in charge, even when Dad sets the later bedtime. He explains why enforced boundaries, paired with the bond that comes from roughhousing, camping, and letting kids take safe risks, build the postponed gratification that helps a child succeed. We also talk about checks and balances parenting, where mom style caution and dad style risk taking work together instead of against each other. The second half turns to marriage. Warren shares the caring and sharing practice at the heart of his Role Mate to Soul Mate work, including a powerful question he asks every couple: would you risk your life to save your partner, and if so, can you listen to them without becoming defensive? He also explains why understanding your spouse's story is not the same as agreeing with it, and why two different stories can live side by side in a good marriage. I share how Jordan and I began dancing in our living room after our first baby was born, and what I have learned about bringing up hard things. We talk about why so many men stop sharing their feelings with their wives, how to move from civil war to civil dialogue with family members who see politics differently, and how I let go of resentment toward someone I love by widening my view of her. Warren was clear that reading about these practices is not the same as doing them together. If you and your spouse want to actually practice them, he leads a Role Mate to Soul Mate: The Art and Discipline of Love couples workshop at Esalen, April 2 to 5, 2027, and I have read the book and can tell you it is a process meant to be shared with someone you love. If you have ever wondered why kids need their dads so much, or how to create a home where both parents are truly present, I think this conversation will speak to you.

You've had the moment. Maybe it wasn't on the steps of an apartment building with the electricity shut off, but you've had the version of it. The moment you realized the life you built isn't the one you actually want, and no one is coming to hand you the way out.Donna Kreisler had that moment at 30, broke, divorced, and convinced her whole life was other people's fault. What she learned over the next ten years is that motivation and discipline are not the same thing, and only one of them actually rebuilds a life. Motivation got her started. Discipline, system, and the decision to stop waiting for someone to save her are what got her through.In this conversation, Donna and Brittany talk about why motivation always runs out, what actually happens in the space between falling and getting back up, and why taking full responsibility for your own life, no blame, no shortcuts, no waiting for permission, is the least comfortable and most powerful decision available to any of us.Donna is the creator of The Prosperity Mindset.

We're back from a our pod break after our fall fundraiser! Kankelfritz & Friends chat about what items we should all have in our cars. Also, recognizing when the enemy tries to distract us from what God has for us.

Lieutenant Colonel Phill Cochran spent more than two decades flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon. He flew operational missions from Misawa Air Base, Japan in the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses. Later he trained the next generation of fighter pilots between 1990 and 2013 at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona and Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma. His career took him around the world, including Singapore, Africa, Germany, and Korea. Lt. Col. Cochran is the father of seven, and is also a grandfather. He spent 23 years as a pastor. Now retired from military service, he has authored the book, Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound: A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Faith, Discipline and Trust. As we read through the Scriptures, we see the Lord Jesus using many illustrations as He taught. He used agriculture by taking examples from a mustard seed, an olive tree, different types of soil and fields that were white unto harvest. He also used illustrations of shepherding, fishing and everyday life - things with which people were familiar. In similar fashion, the apostle Paul used various vocations to drive home spiritual truth in his letters. He compared a minister of the Word to a teacher who passes on Biblical truth to others, a farmer that labors and partakes in the first of his fruits, an athlete that runs the race faithfully and finishes his course with joy and a good soldier that endures hardness. Indeed, we relate to illustrations such as these. Our guest today has written from a vantage point that is unique to him. He was a fighter pilot and has written a devotional book that draws from his everyday experiences with application that presents Biblical truth.

In this week's episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast, I'm coming to you live from a very unique location, High Point University (High Point, NC). It's Parents Weekend but I had to rip this episode to you from a special place. Sometimes you have to go through planes, trains, automobiles, three packed academic buildings, and a college dorm room just to get the job done—and that's exactly the point: Don't wait for perfect conditions to take action. You FIND A WAY. In this special Q&A episode, I'm doing 2 things: 1. I have a special message from High Point's gorgeous campus and one of the more popular & famous intersections on any college campus in the country.  2. I am answering questions from YOU about getting out of a rut, finding more time and focus, discovering your God-given gifts, balancing passion with financial security, knowing when it's time to make a career move, and staying disciplined with nutrition. These are real questions from you that hit home because we ALL get stuck, overwhelmed, distracted, or uncertain at times. So let's dive in and get your MIND RIGHT! In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to get yourself out of a rut when you feel stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next. Why movement, inspiring environments, reading, the right people, and taking action can help create a paradigm shift in your mindset. How to stop doom-scrolling and start feeding your mind with things that inspire and move you forward. The five things to do when you're running out of time or focus, including getting away, creating "Blue Sky Time," getting a coach, setting goals with deadlines, and booking a date with yourself. Why your next 90-day plan can help you focus on the needle movers instead of getting distracted by everything that feels "busy." How to begin discovering your divine gift and why you often have to DO the thing before you can know if it's truly your calling. The power of journaling and why even two to five minutes a day can create clarity, focus, gratitude, and a cathartic release. How to navigate the tension between passion, purpose, and financial security—and why you don't always have to choose one over the other. What to consider when you're wondering whether it's time to stay in your current career, create new opportunities, or branch out on your own. Why deep communication, vulnerability, and looking for ways to create mutual growth can change the trajectory of your career. How to stay consistent with nutrition—even when traveling, attending events, or surrounded by temptation. Why you need to stop basing your choices solely on how you feel and start building your life around discipline, routines, and intentional decisions. How increasing your protein intake and creating simple food rules can help when hunger and cravings are constantly getting in the way. At the end of the day, this episode comes back to one powerful theme: YOU have more control than you think. When you're stuck, MOVE. When you're overwhelmed, REPRIORITIZE. When you're searching for a purpose, START DOING. When you're lacking focus, CREATE A PLAN. And when you don't feel like doing what you know you need to do, lean on DISCIPLINE instead of your feelings. Your life, your health, your career, your relationships, your purpose—it all requires intentional action. So wherever you're listening from today, take one thing from this episode and PUT IT INTO ACTION. Don't wait for the perfect time or perfect circumstances. Get after it, live with passion and purpose, and go create MAXIMUM IMPACT! If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs a reset in their life right now.

Discipline is a key component is all individuals that are winners.  Train disciple by using the Habit Cycle.

Everybody wants the outcome. Far fewer people are willing to pay the price required to get there. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach examine the gap between wanting a better life and actually becoming the kind of man capable of carrying it. Purpose has a cost, growth has a cost, and following Jesus was never presented as a life built around comfort. The question is not simply what you want. It is what you are willing to give, endure, and surrender in order to become who God has called you to be.For Christian men, price paying goes far beyond grinding harder or proving how tough you are. Biblical masculinity requires discipline, endurance, faith, and the willingness to choose what matters most when comfort offers an easier alternative. Every meaningful pursuit demands something from you, and quitting often becomes tempting when the price turns out to be higher than expected. But the willingness to stay faithful when the cost becomes real is what separates desire from conviction.You are already paying a price with your life. The only question is what you are buying with it. Every hour, habit, sacrifice, decision, and act of obedience is moving you toward something. This episode challenges men to stop expecting purpose without sacrifice, stop measuring decisions only by comfort, and develop the faith to pay the right price for the right things. If God has called you to something worth doing, becoming the man capable of carrying it will cost you, but the alternative may cost far more.Check out VITL Peptides by clicking hereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

He points out that people who excel with money, health, or work almost all hold themselves to clear personal rules, and that those rules remove hundreds of small negotiations rather than removing freedom. His case is that a standard you set for yourself is a good decision made in advance, and that the real constraint is having no standards at all. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.raptitude.com/2017/07/wise-people-have-rules-for-themselves/ Quotes to ponder: "your quality of life improves when you set clear standards for how you live" "A good personal standard clarifies and simplifies, eliminating what would be countless painful decision points." "Instead of going by mood or whim, you already know what you will do and what you won't."
