Resources are listed at the bottom of these notes and at the top of the episode.We start where the film starts: Denver, a corporate job, twelve-hour days, and the drive home where Jeff realized that if the worst option was on the table, then literally every other option was too. That realization became the 2016 calendar year Triple Crown, a dehydrator running before sunrise, a daily blog, and about $15,000 raised for suicide prevention — as much a way to open a conversation he didn't know how to start as it was a fundraiser.Then we get into the AT: fifty miles and roughly eleven thousand feet of gain a day for forty-five days, and the parade of things that went sideways. Two left shoes in a resupply box (meaning two right shoes were sitting somewhere else). A broken pole in Shenandoah. A missing box. InReach messages so garbled Allison couldn't tell if Jeff was typing fast or coming apart. And the text, two hundred miles from the finish, asking whether he should hike twenty miles backward to retrieve every piece of electronics he owned.Allison gives the crew-from-2,000-miles-away perspective that rarely makes it into these stories — staring at a dot, sleeping with the ringer on, waking at 4am Mountain in case something had gone wrong at 6am Eastern, and the night she ended up on her knees on an Airbnb staircase during her cousin's wedding weekend. Jeff talks about the six or seven months of mental work that let him rewrite his A goal mid-effort without it becoming soft quitting, why a "why" can be simple, and what five years of therapy has done for him.Also in here: how the film came together, Allison's pitch for more producers in adventure filmmaking, her Moab 240 and a hard-won love of red rocks, where the title came from (and Jeff's extensive brainstorming before agreeing she was right), and a stop-the-episode moment near the end when Allison catches us leaving out the small matter of the ring Jeff carried in his pack for the entire trail.Watch Rewritten on the Free Outside YouTube channel.Learn more about the Trevor Project or donate: https://www.thetrevorproject.orgMental health resourcesThe Trevor Project: 1-866-488-7386, or text START to 678-678988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US): call or text 988

Kevin and Peter sit down with Robby Chaney, who describes himself as a runner, hiker, and death marcher, and who has spent more time chasing cutoffs than almost anyone in the sport.Robby's first trail race was a 40K in 2018 that went so badly he wrote off trail running entirely. New shoes he'd never worn, a vest he'd never used, and temperatures over 100 degrees. Then a volunteer request for a race called Cocodona 250 landed in his inbox, and the number stuck in his head. Six years later he has four 200-mile finishes, a starring role in a film about the very thing he's spent his career outrunning, and a 2026 Grand Slam on the calendar.We get into what the back of the pack actually looks like from the inside: 100-plus hour races, aid stations where you turn around and walk straight back out, and the compounding physical, mental, and emotional cost of days on course. Robby also walks us through his 2025 Cocodona, where he made it to roughly mile 220 before his lungs quit on him in Walnut Canyon. Pulse ox in the low 80s, an IV, and a search and rescue extraction. (Peter, who also got to mile 220 and didn't finish, offers a competing explanation for his own DNF: he got tired.)The conversation closes somewhere we didn't expect. In 2002, Robby was stabbed by a stranger and left bleeding on the street. He woke up in the ICU and was told he'd probably never walk again. He used a cane for years. He turned 50 last month and is signed up for close to a thousand miles of racing.In this episode:(01:15) Aspirational ultrarunner: what "death march" actually means(02:26) What people get wrong about the back of the pack(05:41) From a miserable 40K to signing up for a 250(08:25) Coldwater Rumble 2024 and learning what a cutoff is mid-race(11:04) Respecting the cutoff without fearing it(13:37) DNFs as data points, and the trekking poles that cost him Mogollon Monster(16:27) Getting the email from Dylan and Emily, mid-race, on a ridgeline(19:40) What happened in Walnut Canyon(23:37) 2002, the ICU, and the twenty-year road backThe Cutoff is out from Aravaipa.

Many mature Christians experience seasons when Jesus feels distant—not through dramatic sin or faith crisis, but a slow, subtle drift into spiritual dryness. Today, Stephanie explores how to recognize, understand, and rekindle true delight in God when faith feels flat.As she has with every episode in our “Awaken Delight” series, Stephanie has invented a fictional character – who might feel eerily familiar! In today's episode, we're introduced to “Claire”—a faithful, seasoned believer admired by others, with a life marked by steady commitment to Christ, church, and family. Yet, despite external faithfulness, she privately mourns the loss of intimacy and vividness in her spiritual life. Claire's story demonstrates how even longstanding believers can slide into a functional, uninspired relationship with Jesus—doing all the “right things,” but missing the joy and depth once present.Our FREE gift to you today! An exclusive, in-depth 30-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God when you are going through seasons of flavorless faith: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 458. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Key Symptoms of a “flavorless faith”:Bible reading and prayer become duty-bound, not joy-filled.Worship songs and sermons feel routine, not stirring.Service continues, but the heart feels unengaged and tired.Delight is more than an emotion—it's the warm, relational savoring of God Himself, not just His gifts or outcomes.Distinctions:Happiness: Circumstantial, fleetingContentment: Sufficient, sometimes passiveDelight: Active, relational enjoyment—the “flavor” and “fragrance” of life with GodDelight in God is like savoring real vanilla versus imitation—the fake might have the form, but lacks the richness and depth. When we lose delight, all becomes bland.Distance from Jesus is often gradual. Common causes include:Over-familiarity: The truths of gospel become like a painting you stop noticing.Busyness & Burnout: Life's cares crowd out time to “linger” with Jesus.Duty Replacing Delight: We obey and serve, but lose relational warmth.When delight cools, our spiritual life becomes transactional, our joy fades, and other things gain center stage in our hearts.Psalm 34:8 invites us to “taste and see that the Lord is good”—not just agree intellectually, but experience Him proportionally.Delight in God requires attention; it calls for slowing down, “beholding,” and returning to the gospel as if it's fresh.It's not manufactured by willpower, but reawakened by honesty and pursuit.Prayerfully confess where delight has dimmed and ask Jesus for renewed appetite.Ultimately, delight is about communion—living in God's presence, savoring Him as the ultimate gift.Our delight fuels resilience, combats burnout, and makes our faith not merely correct, but alive and fragrant to those around us.Practical Steps to Awaken DelightSlow Down & Linger: Don't skim Scripture or prayer; bring your full heart, even your boredom and disappointment.See God as Beautiful: Move beyond doctrine; gaze at Jesus' beauty, not just His utility.Cultivate Stillness: Create time to notice God's presence and gifts; fight cultural hurriedness.Receive, Don't Achieve: Delight is a relationship to receive by the Spirit, often through the ordinary or through suffering.Honest Prayer: Admit to God when delight feels absent; let Him rekindle it.If you, like Claire, feel distant from Jesus, don't despair. He hasn't moved; beauty can be rediscovered. Ask God to awaken your delight, to move you beyond belief into joy in His presence. Let your soul savor Him again.“Restore to me the joy of your salvation.” – Psalm 51:12MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “AWAKEN DELIGHT” BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."―Psalm 37:4What if you've lost your delight in God? Or you've never really experienced it in the first place? What if a season of suffering has snuffed out your joy, leaving you spiritually discouraged and emotionally numb?Delighting in God changes everything: how you experience your faith, relationships, and circumstances―and even how you see yourself.You can experience Psalm 37:4 as your daily reality. In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle connects scriptural and theological truth to your everyday life so you can experience what delighting in God really means. It's not about checking boxes on a spiritual to-do list or mustering a constant state of positive feelings. Rather, delight is about satisfying your soul's deepest longing through a vibrant relationship with the living God.What you will (re)discover as you journey with God through Awaken Delight:Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven. Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him.Delight in God is often expressed and grown through resilient joy under suffering.Delight in God is the missing engine behind resilience. It's the antidote to burnout. It's even the foundation for sustainable ministry.God's delight in you is secure, not performance-dependent. God's delight in you frees you from striving! That's the beginning of delight.Jesus is the center of every endeavor to delight in God.You can build a delight-centered spiritual life.Awaken Delight invites you to follow Scriptural truths and spiritual practices that cultivate daily joy in God.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselleshows how delighting in God is crucial for spiritual growth,provides spiritual habits that help you live in delight, andincludes discussion questions and Bible engagement great for book clubs or small groups.By looking to Christ as your model of divine delight, you can discover that no matter what you're experiencing―whether weariness, sorrow, hope, or happiness―you truly can "taste and see that the Lord is good." If you are longing for a revived faith filled with hope, delight, worth, and grace, Awaken Delight invites you to cultivate a worshipful, life-giving delight in God that's rooted in God's delight in you.Purchase here: https://a.co/d/0625K1AZ More details at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightDISCOVER THE BOOK BEHIND THE PODCAST | "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism. It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith: “Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight. It is a rich mix of God's delight in you and your delight in him. This is the life you were made for, the life your soul deeply longs for. So, the table is set. Pull up a chair and let your heart sit alongside Stephanie. As your delight in God wakes up and becomes fully realized, you'll find a satisfaction in Christ that makes you want more and more.”Kind words from Amanda Jenkins, Lead creator of THE CHOSEN's literary content: "I have yet to meet another person quite as eager to intimately know Jesus as Stephanie is. Her enthusiasm for the beauty found inside a thriving relationship with her Savior is downright contagious. Indeed, Stephanie's joy and faith and commitment to growth—along with her love for really good food!—will implant themselves in the hearts of readers. Lucky readers."Kind words from Os Guinness, Theologian, Social critic, Author, The Call:  "Stephanie addresses one of the greatest needs of Christians today. Knowing God is not knowing about God, but knowing Him genuinely and with desire and delight. She does so practically and helpfully, and in a style that sparkles with a verve and joy that is distinctively French."Kind words from Pippa Gumbel, Pioneer, The Alpha Course; Author, The Bible in one year with husband Nicky: "Stephanie's love of God is inspiring and infectious. Her book is an invitation to share in that delight and to come to know God in new and wonderful ways."More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JSupport us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

Philippa and Quentin cover the week (so far) in Ambridge — Sunday 23rd to Tuesday 25th August — and it has been a week of romantic entanglements, awkward confessions and a rather impressive car sale.Lily confesses the Harrison kiss to Rex, who is about as subtle about it as Lily was, and Fallon is already picking up vibes. Conrad arrives and is immediately flirting with both Fallon and Lily, makes his interest in Fallon very plain, and is either a smooth used car salesman or a decent bloke — the jury is still out. Fallon keeps the shutters firmly down. Harrison and Lily have not contacted each other since the kiss, which nobody believes will last.George, meanwhile, turns out to be a natural car salesman. Martyn Gibson plays it beautifully, listens to what George has to say about the plug-in hybrid with comfort memory seats, and secures the sale. Both hosts are very impressed. Quentin's prediction is already on the table.Lynda handles the appalling Diane magnificently, gives her a dressing gown and calmly shows her the door, then has a moment of uncomfortable self-reflection about whether she used to be the same. Robert and Lynda's finances are taking a real hit. Rex's manly odour after moving gravel all day gets a mention. Brian puts the wrong address on a delivery and Alice sorts it out — and gets a romantic dinner, whereas Adam would have been told off. Alice and Rex's smoochy scenes are becoming a lot. And Oliver Turner's second week writing for the show gets a very warm reception.A big announcement too: All About The Archers is now available as video on Apple Podcasts — thousands of you watched last week without being asked and thank you very much indeed.Plus Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, predictions including George as the next Top Gear presenter, and Quentin is off to Edinburgh to see Ben Norris in his Fringe Award-winning show The Distance.Topics covered: Lily Pargetter | Harrison Burns | Fallon Rogers | Conrad | Rex Fairbrother | George Grundy | Martyn Gibson | Lynda Snell | Robert Snell | Brian Aldridge | Alice Carter | The Archers August 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Gloria Mercer and Aidan West talk with Mike about A Safe Distance (2026), their scrappy, off-grid Canadian crime thriller that started as a pandemic-era proof-of-concept short and grew into a full-blown Bonnie-and-Clyde riff shot on borrowed forest properties outside Vancouver. Mercer directs and West writes, and the two — longtime collaborators since their Simon Fraser University film school days — dig into how a straightforward drama about a woman who says no to a camping-trip proposal picked up a bag of stolen money and a pair of outlaw lovers along the way, channeling Kelly Reichardt's Old Joy and the Wachowskis' Bound in equal measure. They talk shooting entirely outdoors with bear visits and mid-scene thunderstorms, assembling a cast led by Bethany Brown, Tandia Mercedes, Cody Kearsley, and Chris McNally, and getting the film made with Canada Council and Creative BC funding plus a lot of neighborly door-knocking. Recorded on the ground at the Fantasia International Film Festival, where A Safe Distance played its Canadian premiere after stops at SXSW, Frameline, and Phoenix Film Festival.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

  Host: Dan Panetti   Maturing and aging are NOT the same thing. What is the difference? Well, again I found a terrific word picture in Spurgeon's book Flowers from a Puritan's Garden and he explained the difference between distance and duration - and that hit me as a perfect analogy for maturing vs. aging. In maturity, we want to grow in specific measurables…not just get a year older, but grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and with man (Luke 2:52). What does maturity really mean and how can we mature as men - that's our conversation for this episode!   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

Episode DescriptionWhat can emergency managers learn when disasters strike very different communities at nearly the same time?In this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky return from the IAEM Region 9 Symposium in Honolulu with a fresh perspective on preparedness, logistics, resilience, and the power of community.The conversation begins in Hawaii, where geography changes nearly every assumption emergency managers make about mutual aid and logistics. When help, equipment, food, and personnel may be thousands of miles away, “leaning forward” isn't simply good practice—it can be essential.Todd and Andrew then turn to the severe storms, flooding, and tornadoes affecting Indiana and other parts of the country. Different hazards. Different geography. But many of the same lessons.Emergency managers cannot afford to plan only for what happened last time. Wildfires can create tomorrow's debris-flow problem. Extreme rainfall can overwhelm places that have never flooded before. And communities that wait until disaster strikes to build relationships have already lost valuable time.The most important lesson may also be the simplest: preparedness begins with people.From involving residents in emergency planning to knowing the people who live next door, resilience is built long before the EOC activates. Government can facilitate the process, but it cannot create resilient communities by itself.Two storms. Two very different places. One lesson: know your community, understand your vulnerabilities, build relationships before the disaster, and prepare for the events everyone says could never happen here.Two Storms, One LessonCommunity, Preparedness, and the Paradox of ParadiseHosts: Todd DeVoe and Andrew BoyarskyPodcast: Emergency Management Network PodcastIn This EpisodeTodd and Andrew reflect on their time at the IAEM Region 9 Symposium in Honolulu and the lessons that Hawaii offers emergency managers everywhere.Hawaii's beauty comes with significant vulnerabilities. Distance from the mainland, separation between islands, limited transportation routes, and dependence on imported resources mean emergency managers must think differently about logistics and mutual aid.The discussion then moves to severe weather affecting Indiana and other parts of the United States, including flooding, tornadoes, high winds, and the challenge of preparing for hazards in places where people may believe, “That doesn't happen here.”Todd and Andrew explore what these events mean for emergency managers preparing for the next disaster—and why yesterday's assumptions may no longer be enough.Topics Discussed* Lessons from the IAEM Region 9 Symposium in Honolulu* Hawaii's unique emergency management challenges* The logistics of supporting remote and island communities* The importance of pre-positioning resources and leaning forward* Severe storms, tornadoes, flooding, and changing hazard conditions* Wildfires and the secondary threat of debris flows and land movement* Normalcy bias and the danger of saying, “That never happens here”* Thinking about the unthinkable* Community Lifelines and community preparedness* Bringing residents into the emergency planning process* Building relationships before disaster strikes* Knowing your neighbors as a preparedness strategy* CERT, VOAD, COAD, nonprofits, and volunteer organizations as force multipliers* Government's role as a facilitator rather than the sole source of solutions* Hawaii's “paradox of paradise”* The spirit of Ohana and what it can teach emergency managers about resilienceTwo Storms, One LessonThe hazards may be different, but the lesson is remarkably similar.Emergency managers must understand the communities they serve—not simply their hazards, infrastructure, and response capabilities, but their people, relationships, vulnerabilities, strengths, and culture.Preparedness cannot begin when the warning is issued.It begins when neighbors meet one another. It happens when residents participate in emergency planning. It grows when government, nonprofits, volunteers, businesses, and community organizations build relationships before anyone needs them.As Todd observes in the episode, government doesn't always have the answer to every problem. But it can help create the conversations, partnerships, and conditions that allow a community to become stronger.Key TakeawayUnderstand where you live. Know your vulnerabilities. Listen to your community. Build relationships before the emergency.Because when disaster strikes, resilience isn't something we suddenly create.It's something we discover we have already built.Stay safe. Stay hydrated.

Sam Short had a historic summer that saw him break numerous barriers and top the podium nearly every time he got in the pool. At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Short swept the 400-800-1500 freestyles and led off Australia's winning 4x200 free relay. Two weeks later, at the Pan Pacific Championships, he swept the same three events, breaking Ian Thorpe's 400 free meet record from 1999 and Grant Hackett's Australian record in the 1500 from 2001.  Today, Short sits down with SwimSwam to reflect on his remarkable consistency throughout the season and dissect his best races. We also speak about Johannes Liebmann's newly minted 14:26 world record in the 1500 and which world record Short would break if he could pick one.

Intimacy places two private worlds in contact and gives neither person direct access to the other. Everything travels through perception. Tone acquires meaning. Silence acquires meaning. Touch acquires meaning. Distance, affection, criticism, hesitation, facial expression, timing and memory all pass through an interpretive system shaped before the present relationship existed. Learning that system may radically deepen intimacy. A partner who understands how you receive meaning gains access to an extraordinary relational skill. They can communicate across difference rather than demanding that their way of expressing love, hurt, safety or truth function as the universal language. The danger enters when translation changes jobs. Healthy translation carries meaning across perceptual difference. Corrupted translation forces one person to remodel themselves until the other person's interpretation feels comfortable. That distinction governs the entire discussion. You may need to learn the language of your partner's perception. You may also reach a point where speaking that language asks you to falsify your own interior. Wisdom must know the difference. Refusal can protect integrity. Refusal can also protect ego. Translation can demonstrate love. Translation can also become self-abandonment. No single position gets automatic moral authority. The deeper relational skill requires something far more difficult. Learn how your partner sees. Communicate with awareness of that sight. Remain willing to revise your own perception. Refuse any demand that requires you to become the character somebody else has already decided you are. The relationship changes when both partners learn that discipline. When only one partner learns it, intimacy slowly turns into accommodation.

Nobody puts a picture of the barn in the listing and says, "We're not completely sure what's holding this thing up." Buying a homestead is a lot like dating — and today we're playing Would you date this homestead? We're past the basics. You know your price, your location, your acreage. This is what happens after the property catches your eye: what the listing photos aren't showing you, what to look for when you finally walk the land, the deed restriction that nearly cost us the property we loved, and the plumbing problem hiding under our slab that no inspection caught. I'm Wendi Bergin — Realtor, homesteader, and someone who has crossed a beautiful property off her own list more than once. Preparedness brings peace, not fear. That applies to buying land too. Chapters 00:00 — Falling in love with a listing before you've seen the barn 00:45 — Why buying a homestead is a lot like dating 01:05 — Welcome to Would you date this homestead? 01:20 — The dating profile: what the listing photos are not showing you 01:55 — Decoding listing language: "rustic," "peaceful country living" 02:20 — The Polk County drive-by, and the water we found 02:55 — Not in a flood zone yet: how new construction changes that 03:40 — The property that was 30 minutes from church, and why I crossed it off 04:25 — "Plenty of room for animals" doesn't mean you're allowed to have them 04:50 — The real question: the property, or the life you're imagining in it? 05:05 — First date: get out of the kitchen and walk the land 05:35 — Would that fence actually hold the animals you want? 06:00 — Why we tore out every fence on our property 06:15 — Outbuildings: is there water and power to the barn? 06:40 — The pig waterer I didn't know existed 07:20 — Pipes running there isn't the same as water that works 07:50 — Stand still and listen: traffic, dogs, shooting ranges, smells 08:30 — Distance matters: barn to house, feed, groceries 08:55 — Why our goats may never make it to the barn 09:25 — The one nobody asks: what will chores be like in the rain? 09:45 — The coughing goat, the nice sandals, and church 10:30 — What a good agent is actually there to do 11:05 — "Would I still want to live there on a tired Tuesday?" 11:40 — Meet the family: zoning, deed restrictions, and yes, HOAs 12:20 — Five acres each, horses allowed, goats not 13:05 — "It takes one person to pull up those deed restrictions" 13:50 — What I screened for: ag zoning, no HOA, flood zone 14:25 — Easements, insurance requirements, and animal rules 14:50 — Why we couldn't raise pigs in New Jersey 15:20 — Can you sell eggs?

I'll help you interview an agent A few things worth writing down The listing tells you whether you want a first date. It's not enough to decide whether you want to marry it. Fencing, outbuildings, water, and power are separate questions. Pipes to the stall don't mean working water; a barn can have water and no electricity. Stand still on the property for a full minute. Photos can't carry traffic noise, barking dogs, a shooting range, or the smell from the neighbor's operation. "Plenty of room for animals" and "legally allowed to have animals" are two entirely different things. Check zoning, deed restrictions, and HOA documents yourself — even on large acreage. Inspections don't catch everything. Ours didn't catch the plumbing under the slab, because nobody had lived in the house for three years. The question isn't whether the property has baggage. It does. The question is whether it's baggage you can afford, manage, and live with.

Marathons turned into a 50-states goal, the pandemic turned that into her first 50-miler, and the company she kept did the rest.She talks about finding out mid-race that she'd be in a film (filmmaker Bradford caught her hugging her crew at the start and tracked her down at Crown King), and about only learning last week — from our episode with Jamil and Dylan — that the movie was really about the cutoff all along. Her first reaction was ego. Her second was admiration for how the crew handled it.We get into her 2025 Cocodona 250: roughly five hours of sleep across the whole race, no real dirt nap until past mile 200, hallucinations, a full head-to-toe clothing change in the downpour before Fain Ranch, and snow on Mingus that felt like home. (She did not bring rain pants. Who brings rain pants to the desert?)Jen also breaks down the Skydive Ultra — where the skydive itself counts against your cutoff — and previews her next big swing: the Iditarod Trail Invitational 150, starting days after this recording, with a kid's sled her nieces and nephew decorated and her grandmother sewed the zipper into.At 51, with a regular job and a regular life, her message is simple: if she can do it, so can a lot of other people.In this episode:Accidental ultrarunner: from mountaineering to a rainy-day half marathonAlaska running, sled pulling, and the Susitna 100The Skydive Ultra 100 — bacon, hallucinations, and losing two hours to the jumpGetting recruited into The Cutoff at mile 37The "observer effect" of running with a camera on youSleep deprivation, weather, and why the 2025 Cocodona was the hardest year yetWhy crew and pacers made the finish possibleEscalation, "normalizing Norman" friends, and what's actually being chasedWhat Jen hopes people take away from the film about the back of the pack

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Enderson Miranda sits down with Brian Floyd, Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health and chairman of the board for the North Carolina Health Care Association, to unpack a framework Brian calls the "six dimensions of rurality." Drawing on more than 30 years of healthcare leadership, coupled with the unique understanding of a clinician that practiced within the rural healthcare setting, Brian explains why treating rural healthcare as simply a geography problem misses the point, and why density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity together create structural barriers that urban-focused policy often fails to address. Brian also shares how ECU Health builds a sustainable workforce from within its own communities, using point-based admissions systems with local universities to keep talent close to home, and how the organization has partnered with AMN Healthcare to achieve conversion rates for international nurses well above the national average. The conversation closes with a candid look at the role technology can play in closing access gaps, and the advocacy work that healthcare leaders must take to ensure rural systems remain viable for the communities that depend on them. This episode offers healthcare leaders a clear and structural lens for evaluating rural care delivery, along with concrete workforce and policy strategies that translate directly into retention, access, and financial sustainability. Key Takeaways Rural healthcare needs a structural definition, not just a geographic one. Brian's six dimensions of rurality (density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity) reframe how leaders and policymakers should evaluate rural care delivery. Hospital closures are the tail end of a much longer decline. Physician loss, specialty care exits, and reduced preventative services happen long before a hospital closes its doors. Payment reform must remain a top policy priority. Wage index adjustments and reimbursement structures often pay rural systems less for treating the same disease burden as urban systems. Local workforce investment drives long-term retention. ECU Health adjusts university admissions criteria to prioritize students from the communities it serves, growing local enrollment by over 10 percent. Mission-driven culture fuels nurse retention, both nationally and internationally. ECU Health converts more than 90% of international nurse placements into permanent employees, a rate significantly above national average. Technology can close access gaps that bricks-and-mortar models cannot. Telehealth and AI free up clinician time for direct patient care and extend reach across low-density rural regions.   Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to Brian Floyd and ECU Health 01:01 – Brian's Journey from Nursing to Health System Leadership 04:08 – Why Rural and Urban Healthcare Operate Under Different Realities 07:04 – The Six Dimensions of Rurality: Density, Distance, Demographics, Disease Burden, Social Determinants, and Payment Disparity 14:06 – How Technology and AI Can Close Rural Access Gaps 17:37 – Where Rural Healthcare Gaps Hit Hardest: Patients Versus Systems 20:52 – The Policy Gap: Why Payment Reform Matters Most 24:08 – Building a Sustainable Rural Workforce from Within 32:29 – Local Talent Meets Global Talent: Retaining International Nurses 36:42 – Advocacy Advice for Healthcare Leaders Meet Brian Floyd Brian Floyd is Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health, a health system with eight hospitals, including a 1,100-bed tertiary academic medical center, and roughly 250 clinics across eastern North Carolina.

What if the secret to better golf is not another swing theory, launch-monitor number or technical rabbit hole—but learning how to truly play the game? Mark Immelman sits down with 3x PGA TOUR winner, NCAA National Champion, Texas State Golf Hall of Famer and respected golf broadcaster Billy Ray Brown for an honest conversation about the lessons Billy Ray wishes he had understood earlier in his career. His biggest realization? You do not have to be perfect to play great golf. Billy Ray explains why golf is a game of recovery, how an uncomfortable Christmas Day practice session transformed his short game and why players must learn to solve problems without immediately turning to a coach or a collection of data. Mark and Billy Ray also explore the importance of grip, setup, ball position, clubface awareness and active hands. They discuss Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson, Jackson Suber, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer and the Harmon family while examining how great players build swings that perform under pressure. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why chasing perfection can keep golfers from playing their best. How Billy Ray transformed his short game in only a few months. Why golf should be viewed as a game of recovery. The difference between productive practice and simply filling time. Why golfers should practice the shots that make them uncomfortable How feel and technique work together. Why self-discovery builds adaptable, resilient players How technology and data can help—and when they become distractions. Why grip, stance, alignment and ball position still matter. How clubface awareness allows great golfers to save imperfect swings. Why different grips require different body motions and matchups. How course conditions should influence the swing and shot, and Why the ultimate goal is to play golf rather than chase a perfect-looking motion. Key Takeaways: You Do Not Have to Be Perfect - Great golf is not produced by hitting every shot perfectly. Every player will miss greens, struggle with portions of the game and face situations that require creativity. The best players accept that reality and become skilled at recovering. Build a Short Game That Travels - Billy Ray recalls entering college as an excellent tee-to-green player who was not good enough around the greens. After his coach contacted his father, Billy Ray spent a cold Christmas Day working alone on his chipping. That experience began a transformation that helped him earn a place in the University of Houston lineup and win an NCAA championship later that spring. Practice What Makes You Uncomfortable - Golfers naturally gravitate toward clubs and shots they already hit well. Productive practice requires the opposite approach. Work on the awkward lies, partial wedges, flighted irons, recovery shots and uncomfortable situations that will eventually appear on the course. Learn to Figure It Out - Players who always turn to someone else after a poor shot can become dependent on external feedback. Billy Ray believes golfers must spend time experimenting, observing the ball and learning what their own motions feel like. That self-awareness gives players the ability to make adjustments during competition.  Fundamentals Provide the Foundation Modern technology offers valuable information, but Billy Ray continually returns to the same fundamentals: Grip Stance Alignment Ball position, Distance from the ball, Clubface control, A consistent setup gives the swing a better opportunity to organize itself naturally. The Ball Does Not Lie - Launch monitors can provide useful measurements, but the flight of the golf ball remains the clearest form of feedback. Golfers should learn to recognize why the ball curved, launched too high, spun too much or started offline. Play the Shot the Course Requires - Firm ground, wind, changing green speeds and difficult lies require adaptation. A golfer's motion should respond to the shot and environment—not remain locked into one predetermined swing model. Play Golf, Not Golf Swing - The objective is simple: get the ball into the hole in the fewest possible strokes. Technique matters, but only when it helps the golfer accomplish that goal. Memorable Quotes: “You do not have to be perfect in this game.” “The most complex thing about learning to play the game is keeping it simple.” “The ball doesn't lie.” “You have to go to the most uncomfortable situations and put yourself in there.” “Play the game, not swing the golf club.” This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman and leave a comment.

In this episode, I answer questions about healing from injury and when or how to increase the variables of performing carries. Hopefully, this will leave you with wonderful ponders.

In under a year, she won the Divide 200 in her first attempt at the distance, took the Arizona Monster 300 in brutal desert heat, and then won the Ribbon 200 outright on Ontario's Bruce Trail. Selene shares how she balances training around 24-hour fire shifts, her DIY heat prep for the Monster (sauna suit on the StairMaster, a sauna sleeping bag, "practicing dirt naps"), why two-to-five minute trail naps beat fighting sleep deprivation, and running out of water alongside Sam Carroll in a 22-mile exposed desert section. Plus: the growing Canadian 200-mile scene, the Sioux 200 coming in September, and why Selene thinks the only way to know if you can do the distance is to try.

Can Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy offer a new way of understanding how magic works?Join me live on Saturday, 1 August 2026, at 12 pm EST for a fascinating conversation with Dr Darren Iammarino of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of San Diego.We will explore the philosophy of magic between 1875 and 1975, beginning with Spiritualism, Theosophy, William James, and the emergence of spirit and energy models. Our central focus will be Whitehead's process philosophy and its potential to explain magic through an informational and relational model of reality, in which events, consciousness, agency, and influence are interconnected processes rather than isolated substances.We will also consider how yoga, Tantra, and the Yoga Sūtras conceptualise siddhis, or supernormal powers, alongside the influence of perennialism on modern Western interpretations of magic.Can process thought help us move beyond the familiar opposition between supernatural and psychological explanations? Could magic be understood as participation in a dynamic and interconnected cosmos? Join us live and bring your questions for the discussion.Discover more from Dr Darren Iammarino:YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ToTwoTruth?si=eUy8QTaRVEadbkTIBooks and author page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Darren-Iammarino/author/B00GJ9KV1Y/allbooks?ccs_id=19e6820b-d273-45bc-bdbb-87d6d4faeaa3CONNECT & SUPPORT

What does it take to remain faithful in youth ministry for more than four decades and still see your influence growing through future generations? In this interview episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards sits down with longtime ministry leader Hugh Kirby for a powerful conversation about youth ministry longevity, relational discipleship, mentorship, prayer, church leadership, and going the distance in ministry. Hugh has served in ministry for more than 42 years, including 17 years directly leading student ministry at New Hope Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Georgia. Today, he can look back and see former students influencing their own children, grandchildren, churches, and communities. But Hugh's ministry story began long before New Hope. He shares how God moved powerfully during his years playing football at Louisiana Tech, where more than 40 players and others connected to the team came to faith in Christ. Hugh reflects on the spiritual influence of his roommate Denny Duron, the leaders who invested in him, and the way God used relationships to shape his calling. Hugh also shares how Dr. Millard Box helped transform his understanding of discipleship as a teenager. Rather than building everything around programs, Dr. Box invited Hugh into a relationship-centered environment built on Scripture, honest conversation, accountability, and prayer. That experience became a model Hugh would carry into decades of youth ministry. In this episode, you'll hear about: • What helped Hugh remain faithful through 42 years of ministry • Why ministry longevity requires dependence on Jesus and support from family • How relational discipleship shaped Hugh as a teenager • Why relationships should come before programs • The importance of Scripture, accountability, and intimate prayer • How Hugh learned to build disciples who would disciple others • What youth pastors can learn from Jesus' progressive disciple-building model • How long-term ministry influences students, families, and generations • Why churches must keep Jesus—not programs—as the main thing • How mentors and mature believers shape a young person's future Hugh explains that effective discipleship is not simply giving students more information. It means entering their lives, building relationships, helping them understand Scripture, creating loving accountability, and teaching them how to walk personally with Jesus. This conversation is especially valuable for youth pastors, student ministry volunteers, Christian educators, parents, grandparents, mentors, and anyone who wants to invest in the next generation for the long term. Programs eventually end. Positions eventually change. But a life poured intentionally into another person can continue bearing fruit for generations. Listen and be encouraged to build relationships, make disciples, remain faithful, and go the distance in the ministry God has given you.

The internal battle over the Democratic Party's political identity is heating up ahead of upcoming state primaries, highlighting tension between traditional establishment figures and a rising progressive wing. FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins to discuss key primary matchups in Michigan, and the legal questions surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, and stalled DOJ confirmations. With Republican Senator Thom Tillis retiring, North Carolina has become a critical battleground for GOP fighting to keep its slim majority in Congress. Former RNC Chair Michael Whatley is leading that fight in the Tar Heel state, running for the outgoing senator's seat. He joins FOX's Jacqui Heinrich to discuss his campaign against the state's former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper, as the latest FOX News Poll shows Whatley behind.

SummaryAmy Wester, managing partner at Biscuit Head, returns after three years to talk about surviving a brutal stretch: COVID, then Hurricane Helene in September 2024, which destroyed their Swannanoa cannery and left Asheville without running water for 52 days. She describes hauling and boiling water in buckets, switching to single-use containers and three compartment sinks, opening an evening concept just so staff could earn hours, and feeding desperate neighbors for free when cash was the only currency. Five straight years without a clean recovery, and this is finally the year it feels good again. Tourism is approaching pre-Helene numbers and all four locations are still open. Amy credits an owner group that still works weekends, answers the phone at any hour, admits mistakes out loud, and retrains constantly, plus a hyper-local Asheville restaurant community that lent each other supplies and information instead of competing.Key takeawaysShow up. The partners still work shifts and never ask staff to do what they won't do themselves.Answer the phone. Every employee has all three partners' cell numbers and they use them.Culture beats scale. They had franchise manuals half written when COVID hit and walked away from the idea.Distance is the real growth constraint. Greenville is 90 minutes out and standards slip when they can't get there.Retraining is permanent, not onboarding. Thirteen year employees still get reminders.Let staff flag a bad day and move off the register instead of pushing through it.Owners admit their own mistakes first so employees stop hiding theirs.Know which decisions are open to staff input and which are the owners' alone.Guests can send anything back. Free swap, taste every gravy, no argument.Independent restaurants act as first responders, and that goodwill comes back around.

Why knowing the right answers isn't the same as finding real life. A religious expert knew all the right answers, but he still could not find the life he was searching for. Instead of giving him another answer, Jesus told him a story. Join us as we discover why that story still has the power to change our lives today.

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: The importance of mandatory eye contact and how to generalize for distance work. Moving from negative reinforcement to positive punishment to move from escape to avoidance. Training progressions to train mandatory eye contact with your dog.  Transitioning from lure to reward to variable reward.    Key Takeaways: To get your dog to pay attention to your face, consider putting a food reward in your mouth - like hot dogs, cheese, or chicken.  Build duration before you build distance in your training progression. If they aren't paying attention at 2 feet, they're not going to pay attention at 20 feet.  You have to take the training wheels off as you move between training progression levels.  When you get to trial, you have to operate on an extinction condition - there is no reinforcement or rewards on the field, so it is better to have your dog on a very, very thin variable reward schedule by that point. That only comes through training progressions and systematic generalization.    "If we never get to the point where the dog understands there's a correction for inattention, then that's not going to be a very reliable tool for us for attention at a distance. We want to generalize it. We want to continue to create a systematic desensitization to all the things that the decoy might do." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Episode References:  The Working Grip Foundation: https://workinggrip.org/  Stewart Hilliard's Kynology: https://kynology.org/    Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training:  www.tarheelcanine.com YouTube:  tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon:   patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine  Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/  Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/    Sponsors:  ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: thedriveco.com  The Drive Company Instagram: instagram.com/thedrive.co  Dog Armour: dogarmour.com  Dog Armour Instagram: instagram.com/dogarmourpro  Rogue Arsenal: roguearsenal.com  Rogue Arsenal Instagram: instagram.com/rogue_arsenal_official  Kirby K9: k9irby.com    Train hard, train smart, be safe.     Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Paula Findlay wins Ironman Lake Placid on her very first full distance triathlon attempt. Setting the bike course record, ringing the first-timer's bell, and crossing the tape after one of the most composed performances of the year. Nick and Eric were both on course for the day, and this week all three of us sit down to relive every moment: the cold non-wetsuit swim chasing Chelsea Sodaro, the wind-whipped bike ride where Paula refused to let the gusts derail nine months of preparation, the broken flask on the run, running a 1:24 half marathon split before her quads staged a full revolt, talking herself through lonely miles of River Road, and what it actually felt like to turn into the Olympic oval.This week we discussed:Paula's full Ironman Lake Placid race recap: swim, bike, run, and every mental moment in betweenRacing without a wetsuit in cold windy weather — staying warm, not panicking off the bike, and why the cold nearly derailed the first 45 minutesRiding through 28mph gusts: how Paula stayed in her aerobars when everything in her said sit upThe Marta Sanchez dynamic: running together through the first half, trusting her experience, and slowly stretching the gapQuad cramping from mile 13 of the marathon and choosing to keep running anywayRinging the first-timer's bellThe med tent, the wheelchair, and what "empty" actually feels like after an IronmanHow Eric and Nick tracked splits all day: whiteboard shorthand, the Iron Man app, texts from people on course, and educated guessesWhat Paula discovered about herself: long activities are a mindset, not a personality typeThe timing chip chafe solution that actually worked (and the neck chafe that still didn't)TTL team finished 4th in the team competition — in their first year150 people at the Lake Placid donut run and the volunteer team who drove 45 minutes for donutsIs it better to race a new distance naive, or knowing what's coming?
