Time is the one constant in your life — and most people don't realize they're using it until they don't have enough of it. After 20 years of showing up in this studio every single day, I've been thinking about this a lot. When you compress time and commit to a real deadline, something shifts. You focus faster, decide quicker, and stop messing around. When time expands, you drift — and drifting is where goals go to die. Today, I'm breaking down how to use time as a tool. Download the Perfect Week Planner at perfectweekplanner.com. Featured Story I walked into the studio this morning, asking myself why I still do this every single day. Twenty years is a long time to show up for anything. And then it hit me — time. It's why this show matters to me more now than ever before. I'm not 30. I'm not going to pretend I am. What I know now that I didn't know then is that time isn't just passing — it's either working for you or against you. Benjamin Hardy calls it a tool. You use it, or you drift. That thought alone changed how I look at every single day. And I think it'll change how you look at yours, too. Important Points When time pressure finally hits, you don't become a different person — you just show up as your absolute best. Free time is honestly the most dangerous gift there is — because most people never really figure out how to use it. The moment you set a real goal with a hard deadline, your brain immediately starts reorganizing everything else. Memorable Quotes Time isn't just something that passes by. It's something you actively choose to use or choose to drift through. When time compresses, magic happens. You focus faster, decide quicker, and you finally stop all the messing around. If you really want to change your life, don't wait around for more time — just give yourself a whole lot less. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by agreeing that what you want actually matters enough to commit to right now — not someday, but right now. Compress your timeline down to a quarter of what you think it'll take and lock in that hard deadline right now. Let the deadline reorganize your entire day — it naturally protects your very best hours and kills the drifting.

Drift off with calm bedtime reading designed to help quiet the mind and guide you toward sleep, especially if insomnia or restless nights have been keeping you awake. This peaceful bedtime reading explores the Fermi Paradox while creating a calm atmosphere for sleep and easing the tension that insomnia can bring. Tonight, we gently explore one of the universe's most fascinating questions: if the galaxy contains billions of stars and likely many Earth-like planets, why haven't we encountered signs of extraterrestrial civilizations? As the episode unfolds, you'll slowly discover the ideas behind the Fermi Paradox, from the vast scale of the Milky Way to possible explanations like the Great Filter, rare life, or civilizations that simply remain quiet. Benjamin reads in a soothing, steady cadence designed to help your thoughts slow down as you learn something new. There's no whispering or sudden sounds, just calm, fact filled educational reading that gradually fades into the background as sleep approaches. If anxiety, stress, or insomnia makes it difficult to drift off, this gentle exploration of cosmic mystery offers the perfect balance of curiosity and calm. Press play, relax your mind, and allow the quiet wonder of the universe to carry you softly toward sleep. Happy sleeping!

In this episode, we trace the turbulent line of Judah's kings from Abijam to Asa and discover a story filled with war, unfaithfulness, reform, and spiritual drift. While Asa began his reign with bold devotion—tearing down idols and leading the people back to God—his later years reveal the danger of relying on human strength instead of divine guidance. Through victories, compromises, and consequences, his life becomes a powerful reminder that faithfulness is not just about how we start, but how we finish. Join us as we reflect on what Asa's journey teaches us about perseverance, humility, and staying anchored to the Lord.

It's time to get cozy.

One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is copying what other successful people are doing. Someone launches a course… so we launch a course.Someone starts a mastermind… so we start a mastermind.Someone builds a funnel… so we build a funnel. But we rarely stop to ask a much more important question: What are those people optimizing for? Another way to ask it is: Where does that path actually lead? Today I want to share with you a powerful principle that explains why some people end up exactly where they want in life… and others spend years walking the wrong path.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Brett Harned, founder of the Digital PM Community and the Digital PM Summit, and author of Project Management for Humans: Helping People Get Things Done. Brett has spent years coaching project leaders and helping organizations rethink what project management really is. His core conviction: the human side of the work is not a nice-to-have. It is the work. In this conversation, you'll hear how Brett fell into project management and what early experiences shaped his perspective on people and projects. You'll learn the patterns he sees repeated across teams and industries, practical habits for when projects feel messy or start to drift, and why he believes project management is a leadership role that most organizations still undervalue. Brett also shares his candid take on AI, what it can and cannot do for project leaders, and what advice he would give his younger self. If you lead projects or teams, whether or not you have a PM title, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Often with PMs, it's finding or receiving or feeling the permission to lead like a human instead of like a machine or a robot." "Projects fail because conversations didn't happen or they happened way too late." "Project management is a leadership role and too often organizations don't see it as a leadership role the way that they should." "Project managers are quietly carrying emotional labor that no one really acknowledges." "You can't earn trust by being invisible." "The role has become less about task tracking and more about judgment, good communication and trust building." "If you call people on your team resources, they have every right to call you overhead." "Slowing conversations down before speeding up the work is like the biggest thing." "Drift isn't usually about effort. It's about misaligned understanding." "AI is not going to replace a really good leader." "AI is great at admin. It's terrible at the leadership stuff. It can't read the room, it can't navigate tension, it can't earn trust." "Say the thing now. Saying something early is almost always safer than saying it too late." "The job of a project manager isn't to absorb chaos. It's to make it a conversation." "Caring about people and building relationships is a skill, and it's a skill that's necessary for this career."

For more learning on this topic, check out: Episode 336 with Clint Padgett. During the interview with Brett, Andy mentioned the weakness of using only percent complete or status colors. That's something Clint and Andy talked about in episode 336. Episode 99 with Mike Roberto. The topic of conflict came up several times in this discussion. In episode 99, Mike and Andy talk about managing the tension between conflict and consensus. It's a discussion worth hearing, especially if you grew up thinking conflict is mostly a negative. Episode 500 with Steve Brown, former Google DeepMind futurist. Andy and Steve talk about AI and the future of work, and it's a discussion highly recommended for anyone leading projects today.

Episode SummaryIn this third episode of the March basketball series, Molly shares transparently about a recent three-week stretch of travel that disrupted her Mostly Alcohol-Free rhythm.With retreats, vacation, conferences, disrupted sleep, and limited access to her usual alternatives, she drifted from her typical low-risk limits and had fewer alcohol-free days than usual.Instead of spiraling, she chose to rebound.This episode explores the neuroscience of short-term pattern shifts, why regulation comes before restriction, and how to interrupt a streak without shame. Molly shares her real-time rebound plan — including five alcohol-free days this week — and what she'll do differently next time.Drifting happens.Rebounding builds self-trust.In This EpisodeWhy travel and novelty increase dopamineThe impact of sleep disruption on regulationHow environment shapes drinking behaviorWhy streaks strengthen neural pathwaysThe difference between drifting and spiralingWhy curiosity regulates and shame dysregulatesMolly's five-day rebound planKey TakeawaysDrift is human.Regulation comes first.Interrupting a streak restores flexibility.Pre-decision reduces in-the-moment choices.You are defined by your response, not your slip.ReflectionIf you've drifted recently, ask yourself:What contributed to it?What would your rebound look like this week?What can you pre-decide next time?Work With MollyLearn more at:www.mollywatts.comOr email: molly@mollywatts.comLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of High Theory, Saronik talks with Erik Baker about the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic. The dominant work ethic of our current moment, it asks us to constantly create new work for ourselves. Eric contrasts the entrepreneurial work ethic with the industrious work ethic, which valued hard work and drudgery in one's allotted task. Over the course of the 20th century industriousness was replaced by entrepreneurship in the American economic imaginary. The ultimate villain of the entrepreneurial mode is the bureaucrat, the ultimate failing is complacency. This toxic, exhausting ethos in which the standard of all labor is changing the world, paradoxically stabilizes our economic system, by trapping us in unachievable dreams. We should note that High Theory as an academic side hustle is exemplary of the entrepreneurial work ethic, even if we have no ethics. That's why we made a Patreon. The transcript of this episode lives here as a WordDoc and here as a PDF. Erik's new book, Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America (Harvard UP 2025) explains how this entrepreneurial work ethic took hold, from its origins in late nineteenth-century success literature to the gig economy of today, sweeping in strange bedfellows: Marcus Garvey and Henry Ford, Avon ladies and New Age hippies. Business schools and consultants exhorted managers to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in their subordinates, while an industry of self-help authors synthesized new ideas from psychology into a vision of work as “self-realization.” Baker argues that the entrepreneurial work ethic has given meaning to work in a world where employment is ever more precarious––and in doing so, has helped legitimize a society of mounting economic insecurity and inequality. Where work is hard to find and older nostrums about diligent effort fall flat, the advice to “make your own job” keeps hope alive. Erik Baker is a lecturer in the History of Science Department and the director of the senior thesis program for the History & Science concentration. He received his PhD from Harvard and his BA from Northwestern University. He has published on the history of social science and American capitalism in Modern Intellectual History, History of the Human Sciences, and Studies in History and Philosophy of Science. He also writes widely for magazines such as n+1, The Baffler, and The Drift, where he is an associate editor.

As the British tried to wrap up their war against the Zulu in South Africa, further afield the happy sound of a baby being born could be heard in Germany. Not just any baby. Albert Einstein was born at 11.30 in the morning on March 14, 1879 in Ulm. His birth was not without drama; his family initially worried about his development because the back of his head was unusually large, and his grandmother feared he would have delayed development based on the sound of his cry.  His mother Pauline was deeply concerned when Albert didn't start talking until he was three. Then when he started speaking, he had a habit of repeating sentences to himself, which led the family maid to nickname him "Der Depperte" (the dopey one). When Albert was five and sick in bed, his father Hermann gave him a magnetic compass. This invisible force fascinated Albert and is often cited as the spark for his lifelong obsession with physics. A compass is what the British surveyors carried, so too did some Boers of the Wakkerstroom District. The area wasn't as stable as British Army Lieutenant Colonel Evelyn Wood had supposed. Sure, the hyena of Phongola chief Mbilini — had been killed but the abaQulusi still lurked about their mountains undefeated. While the British had gone about their war against the Zulu with some zeal in 1879, the Boers of the Transvaal were seething about their territory being summarily annexed by the Empire only two years earlier. The Boers of Wakkerstroom, east of Volksrus, lived on a frontier and a ledge. The escarpment along this north eastern line intersects with places like Luneburg, Paulpietersburg, Bilanyoni with Swazi territory further towards the rising sun. June mornings are cold — as cold as the relations between the Boers of Wakkerstroom and local Englishmen. Luneburg was a Lutheran mission station and on the 4th June, the pastor's son Heinrich Filter was killed there along with six black border policemen. Large groups of Qulisi warriors swept back into the northern Zululand region, scooping up hundreds of cattle and other livestock. So it was with fury that commander Chelmsford and Wood heard what was going on between the Boers and the Zulu along the Mkhondo River. The two nations were in league against their common imperial enemy. Zulu deputations had visited the bughers and some Boers had even travelled to go and see king Cetshwayo kaMpande. By June reports circulated the there were even more Boers than usual wintering along the border, below the icy escarpment amongst the Zulu imizi of the Phongola. The fact that they were safe confirmed all suspicions that there was Zulu-Boer collusion. Suspicions were further confirmed when the British found out that the Boers were even acting as guides leading the Zulu impis in their June raids that had been so destructive. Chelmsford had been putting together a potent column for his return to Zululand after he had relieved Eshowe, and in May he began a slow moving march to Ondini. Ranging in front of his force as it gathered close to Rorke's Drift for the second major invasion, were his reconnaissance units, scouts and observers. And one of these observers was the enthusiastic but reckless twenty three year-old Prince Imperial of France, Louis Napoleon. The last hope of the Bonapartist dynasty, serving on Chelmsford's staff. He was the only son of Emperor Napoleon the Third, great-nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. In his first 14 years he had lived the pampered life of a monarch-in-waiting, but that changed in 1870 when his father was deposed after a string of defeats in the Franco-Prussian war. Louis fled to England with his mother Empress Eugenie. Queen Victoria gave them a warm welcome — in 1871 his father was released by the Prussians and joined Eugenie and Louis at a rented mansion in Chislehurst in Kent. A failed attempt to remove a gallstone killed the Emperor n 1873, and Louis ended up in the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich.

Brian Dixon — most folks call him Dixon — is a Colorado-based Adventurer, Author, and Speaker, and a recovering midlife man-zombie. For twenty years, he lived misaligned — playing the superhero for everyone but himself. In 2014, a life-threatening mountain bike crash ended years of quiet drift. Alignment took longer — until he made a decision most men his age would never consider. At fifty, he chased down a dream from his youth. He found a mentor, committed to years of training, and flew a paraglider solo off Colorado's Lookout Mountain. It might sound like a midlife cliché. It wasn't—it was clarifying. That flight reset his True North. Everything he teaches fits into a simple mantra: Wake up. Realign. Move forward. Today, he helps men break free from misalignment — so they can Wake Up. Realign. Move Forward. In episode 653 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how a driven, high-functioning guy ends up asleep at the wheel, what happened with his pulmonary embolism after the mountain bike crash, why he launched a paraglider solo off Lookout Mountain, why men drift after college and how to avoid it, what does misalignment look like in your twenties, how you lead others without losing yourself, what does "True North" actually mean for a 21-year-old, how to distinguish between destructive risk and growth-producing risk, what is the moment men give up but never talk about, and what daily habits keep a man awake instead of drifting. Enjoy!

Most marriages don't blow up overnight.They drift.They drift from us… to the family… and eventually to two exhausted roommates running a daycare.Once kids enter the picture, something subtle but dangerous often happens: the couple stops being the center of the relationship. Not out of malice. Not because anyone planned it. It just happens.And in most marriages, if nobody actively protects the couple, the marriage slowly disintegrates.From what I see, this responsibility usually falls on the man — and when he pushes for dates, intimacy, boundaries, or adult connection, he's often shamed for it.I break down:Why marriages predictably shift into “kids first, marriage last”Why this creates dead bedrooms and quiet resentmentWhy men get labeled selfish for trying to fix itAnd why a strong marriage actually serves kids better than a child-centered oneIf this topic hits home, you'll want to check out my book The Dead Bedroom Fix and the Help For Men Brotherhood — where guys are having these conversations honestly, without being shamed.

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases "to catch a break" and "if you catch my drift"TRANSCRIPT:In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to catch a break. When you catch a break, it means something has gone your way. Let's imagine that you're trying to buy tickets for an Ed Sheeran concert, and you know that the tickets are gonna sell out really quick.But then you catch a break because your cousin calls you and says, hey, I got, six tickets for the Ed Sheeran concert, and I only need three of them. Do you want to buy the other three? So when you catch a break, it means something goes your way. Something goes, in a positive way when you thought it was not going to go well.And by the way, the past tense is caught. Like, I caught a break. My cousin got tickets for the Ed Sheeran concert for me. By the way, that's just an example. I don't have tickets for the Ed Sheeran concert. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase, if you catch my drift.This simply means if you understand what I'm saying, but usually kind of in a sly or funny way. If I was to say, I'm trying to think of an example here. If I was to say, I'm going to... Oh, this is rare.I'm drawing a blank. By the way, do you know the phrase draw a blank when you can't think of an example? But I might say this. If I say to someone, I'm going to be sick tomorrow, if you catch my drift. Basically, what I'm saying is I'm not gonna be sick.I'm just gonna take a day off work and say that I'm sick. So to review, to catch a break means to get lucky. It means to have something go your way. And if you catch my drift, means basically, if you understand what I'm saying, you see how I'm raising my eyebrows?Like, that would be a good example, though, if a colleague said to me, I think I might be sick tomorrow if you catch my drift. They're basically saying they're not really sick, but they're gonna call in sick tomorrow. But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.This comment is from Mahenina. I don't know how to pronounce your name. Sorry. Hey, Bob, I've been watching your videos for more than five years, but I have never sent you a comment. This is my first. You really do a good job. Thanks. And my reply, thank you for watching for so long and I'm glad you finally commented.So that's very cool, Mahenina, thank you so much for leaving a comment. I love it when people leave comments. So this is a little bit of a trick here. You might be wondering, where is Bob? He's standing in front of this farmer's field.What will be planted here in the future. But then if I do this, if I start to turn, you will see a little bit of, a vacant lot area. And then you'll see my car, but then you'll see a subdivision.So I am on the outskirts of town. If you are a member on my larger channel, you know that I just talked about what outskirts are. Outskirts of a town are where the town borders on farmland or nature or something like that.But what I did want to show you is this. It says, no dumping. Let's get a little bit closer. No dumping. But then if we look on the ground, we see old cigarette packs. Even over here in the weeds.Earlier, I saw some garbage as I was walking around. Sometimes when I make videos, people talk about how beautiful Canada is. But it isn't all beautiful. Sorry, I have to get over this way really quick, before time runs out, so you can see that there is more junk.I'm not sure what that is. I hope I didn't set off some kind of alarm by looking out here. If you look here as well, you'll see an old tire over there, and you'll see just a whole bunch of garbage. Not very nice.Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little short English lesson. And I will see you next week with another one. And I'll figure out what that alarm is.Bye.

Shawn Antonio is a life coach, author, and former nightlife impresario who built one of the top events companies in Los Angeles before a life-altering accident forced him to rebuild everything from the ground up. After spending over a hundred days in jail following a tragic motorcycle collision, Shawn faced depression, public scrutiny, and the collapse of the identity he had spent decades creating. Instead of letting the moment define him, he used it as the catalyst to rediscover his purpose.In this episode of Escaping the Drift, John Gafford sits down with Shawn to talk about the accident that changed his life, the friends who disappeared when things fell apart, and the surprising people who showed up when he needed them most. Shawn explains how writing two books during the darkest period of his life helped him rewire his mindset and ultimately pushed him to fully commit to life coaching.He also shares what he's learned from coaching dozens of clients every week, including the three biggest problems most people face: lack of self-love, broken communication in relationships, and living without a clear sense of purpose. Shawn breaks down the practical habits he uses to stay grounded, from decompression routines to radical honesty in relationships, and why understanding your internal narratives might be the key to escaping the drift in your own life.

In this episode, Fr. John and Mary continue their series on Jesus' words to the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation. Today, they look at Jesus' words to the Church in Thyatira and how relevant what He said to them so long ago is for us here and now.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Wake up! In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares Jesus's message to the church of Sardis.  Sardis had once been one of the most powerful cities in the world. Unlike the other 7 churches in Revelation, there's no mention of persecution, idolatry, or false teaching, by Jesus but they had gotten complacent. Revelation 3:1 The seven stars are symbolic of the seven angels or messengers which refers to the pastor or leader of each church.  Revelation 3:1-2 You can fool the crowd, but you can't fool Christ.They're asleep, so their movement is just sleepwalking. Church activity is not church vitality. Revelation 3:2-3 Repentance is a mind change that results in a behavior change. It's turning toward a new direction. It's not just feeling bad, it's doing good. Repentance happens when heart transformation leads to behavior modification. Revelation 3:4 God doesn't just examine our actions, He examines our intentions.  Revelation 3:5-6Hearing from Jesus always requires a response. And that's the letter to the church of Sardis and what it meant to them. So, what are the timeless truths for us in this letter, and how can we respond to what Jesus has revealed? 1. Your reputation is not as important as your righteousness.Matthew 23:27Yesterday's victories can become today's excuses. We'll be tempted to embrace programs over presence, structure over Spirit, and appearance over anointing. There are seasons of rest in the life of a Christian, but there are never seasons of complacency. Yesterday's obedience does not cover today's calling. God isn't impressed by your highlight reel; He is looking for present obedience. 2. Wake up before spiritual drift becomes spiritual death.Spiritual sleep happens one ignored conviction at a time.Romans 13:11Jesus doesn't want to write us off, He wants to wake us up.  3. Strengthen what remains.God can do a lot with a spark, but you have to stop pouring water on it and start fanning it into a flame.Strengthening what remains means you stop coasting and start pursuing God again.Spiritual renewal does not come from willpower; It comes from the power of the Holy Spirit.Isaiah 11:2Romans 8:11Revival rarely begins with something spectacular. It usually begins with someone returning to the basics.  Some of the stars we see shining above us are actually already dead. Because many of them are light-years away, the light they produced years ago is still traveling through space. In other words, we may be seeing the glow of something that no longer exists and died years ago.And that's exactly what Jesus says was happening in Sardis.  It's the same for us. Church, there are too many "bored-again" Christians who are trapped in the rut of religion, regurgitating Christianese phrases, and mindlessly attending, but not engaging.Wake up! Strengthen what remains. Repent, and return to the Lord. Are you spiritually alive, or just known for being spiritually alive?

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff   LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/   Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a raw awakening with John Gafford, who exposes the drift—that dangerous place where you're not broke but not rich, not sad but not happy, just existing while life happens to you.   From Apprentice contestant to luxury real estate titan and now author, John breaks down radical self-accountability, the $100,000 vitamin disaster, and why nobody's coming to save you—the quicker you accept that, the faster you escape.   This conversation separates the asleep from the awake—if you're trapped in comfort, excuses, or victim mentality, John's blueprint will shatter every illusion. Your drift ends here.
