Send a textThe internet lost its mind when the news dropped: David Goggins is entering the Air Force Pararescue pipeline.Instant hot takes. Instant outrage. Instant “he's stealing a slot from some kid.”Trent jumps in solo to break down what's actually happening—and what people are getting completely wrong.First, Goggins isn't taking a slot from an 18-year-old. He's coming in through a retraining slot, the same process used for prior-service members moving into the career field. Second, the pipeline isn't some fragile institution that collapses because a famous guy shows up.Trent digs into the emotional reactions inside the community, the weird internet myths about Indoc credibility, and the bigger picture that most people are missing. Love him or hate him, Goggins shines a massive spotlight on Air Force Special Warfare—and that might be the recruiting exposure the community has been asking for for years.This episode isn't hype. It's context.And maybe a reminder that the loudest opinions online usually understand the least about how the pipeline actually works. goggins-trent-draft⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Ones Ready intro and episode setup 01:10 Why everyone is freaking out about Goggins 03:30 The truth about retraining slots 06:10 Is Goggins “stealing” a pipeline spot? 08:30 Attrition myths and pipeline realities 10:40 Emotional attachment to Indoc and selection 13:00 The wild credibility argument about Goggins 15:20 Quiet professionals vs recruiting reality 17:45 Why most Americans don't know AFSW exists 20:00 Trent's honest take on David Goggins 23:00 Why the exposure could help recruiting 26:30 Potential risks and potential upside 29:20 Will he actually make it through the pipeline? 31:30 The internet reactions and community debates 34:00 Final thoughts on Goggins and the pipeline

#369: Do you care deeply about what's happening in the world, yet feel too exhausted to show up the way you wish you could? What if the problem isn't that you don't care enough, but that it's time to reclaim your political energy? In this episode, I talk about the third pattern in this series: depletion. While some of us freeze and others burn hot with rage, many of us are simply running on empty after years of managing everyone else's feelings and needs. I explore how emotional outsourcing quietly drains your time, attention, and nervous system capacity until there's nothing left for the values and causes that matter most to you. Listen in this week to learn how to begin reclaiming your political energy by noticing where your energy is leaking away, returning responsibility for others' emotions, and practicing small acts of choosing yourself. I also share how reconnecting with your values through tiny, doable actions helps rebuild your capacity to engage with the world in ways that are sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with who you truly are.

Hello Good People and Beautiful Souls,On today's episode of the Dear Future Hubby Podcast, Teresa Reese touches on the differences between Emotional Hijacking verses Emotional Neutrality. Freedom is when someone no longer moves your heart.Not through anger.No through longing.No through fear.Just peace.That is what is considered emotional neutrality.But many of us have experienced the opposite—what is referred to as emotional hijacking.Emotional hijacking happens when someone or some experience still has the power to disturb your inner world. Their name, their voice, their actions, or even the thought of them can instantly trigger anger, sadness, anxiety, or confusion. In those moments, your emotions take over your peace. Your mind races. Your body reacts. Your spirit feels unsettled. That's emotional hijacking.And the truth is, many of us stay in that state longer than we should because our hearts are still trying to make sense of what has happened. But healing changes that.Emotional neutrality is not bitterness. It is not suppression.And it is not pretending that something never mattered.Emotional neutrality is when you have processed the pain enough that the person, situation, or memory no longer controls your emotional state.You are no longer reacting.You are no longer spiraling.You are no longer hoping for closure from someone who may never give it.Instead, you arrive at a quiet place within yourself where your peace is no longer negotiable.You can think about the situation without anger.You can remember the person without longing.You can move forward without fear.That is emotional neutrality.It is the moment when your heart is no longer held hostage by what once hurt you.For Teresa Reese, emotional neutrality is one of the greatest forms of freedom God allows us to experience. Because once your peace is restored, no person, no memory, and no past mistake(s) have the authority to hijack your spirit again.And that…is real healing.We hope someone is encouraged by this episode.Be encouraged.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week I shared something that I was diagnosed with ADHD at 49. It was a big moment for me, and judging from your messages (thank you for those!) it resonated with a lot of you too. So this week, Penn and I continuing the conversation with someone we absolutely adore, ADHD expert Dr. Tamara Rosier. In this episode we dig into something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough... the emotional side of ADHD.Why do ADHDers feel things so big?Why can small moments feel overwhelming?Why do shame, perfectionism, and rejection sensitivity show up so often in ADHD brains?Dr. Tamara walks us through the science, but also gives us metaphors that are so good you'll never forget them. There's the swimming pool of emotions. The window of tolerance. And my personal favorite, when two ADHD people meet and suddenly it's like two squirrels playing in a park. (Which might explain Penn and I better than anything else ever has.) We also talk about ADHD in families, raising kids with big emotions, why so many women are misdiagnosed with anxiety, and how to replace shame with understanding.This conversation is equal parts therapy session and pep talk. If you've ever wondered why your brain works the way it does, or why your emotions sometimes feel louder than everyone else's, this episode might help you feel a little less alone

Send a textFree MasterclassArtificial intelligence is advancing faster than most people ever expected.But the real question may not be whether machines become smarter.The real question is this:Are humans and especially our world leaders - humane enough to guide the intelligence we are creating?In this episode, we explore the deeper issue behind many of the challenges facing the world today. As AI accelerates and global systems shift, the real challenge may not be technology itself - but the level of human intelligence guiding it.Many people today feel overwhelmed by uncertainty, complexity, and constant change. We are more informed than ever before, yet many of us feel increasingly disconnected, reactive, and trapped in overthinking.Why?Because for generations we have been trained to rely primarily on cognitive intelligence - the ability to analyse, process information, and think logically.But in a world where AI can process information faster than any human ever could, cognition alone is no longer enough.This episode introduces the idea of Human Intelligence - a holistic form of intelligence that integrates:• Nervous system intelligence• Emotional intelligence• Intuitive intelligence• Cognitive intelligenceWhen these forms of intelligence work together, we are able to move beyond survival-based thinking and begin making decisions that create long-term value, wiser leadership, and more humane systems.We also explore a deeper personal insight: that much of what we chase in life - success, recognition, achievement - may actually be a search for something far more fundamental.The desire to exist, to matter, and to experience being truly alive.In a world shaped by artificial intelligence, the future may not belong to those who simply think faster - but to those who develop the deeper intelligence required to guide humanity forward.In this episode you'll learn:Why cognitive intelligence alone is no longer enough in the age of AIHow nervous system regulation affects decision-making and leadershipWhy many intelligent people feel overwhelmed or stuck todayThe four forms of intelligence that create Human IntelligenceHow developing human intelligence can help you navigate uncertainty and make wiser long-term decisions

What if the places where you feel the most emotionally reactive are actually invitations to grow? In today's workout, Alisa Keeton, founder and CEO of Revelation Wellness, invites you to move your body while engaging the Word of God—not just hearing it, but living it. Because Scripture calls us to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. So get your good body moving. However you choose to move today—walking, jogging, stretching, or simply breathing deeply—remember this: movement helps your body do what God designed it to do. Today's Scripture: Numbers 20:1–13 The Body and Our Emotions Our bodies are emotional places. Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk famously wrote The Body Keeps the Score, reminding us that emotions live in our bodies. No emotion is off the table. At their core, emotions are childlike signals. Your brain is simply trying to keep you safe. But emotional reactivity can reveal something deeper. Our emotional instability can show us the places where we're still growing. The places where we're still immature. The places where we need God's presence most. Questions to Reflect On While You Move As you get the blood flowing and settle into your movement today, consider: What have you seen God do in your life? What miracles has He already performed? Where might you be trying to fix things in your own strength? Emotional maturity isn't achieved through willpower. The cure is His presence. So today, breathe deep. Relax your shoulders. Keep moving. Let God meet you in your body, your breath, and your emotions.

You’ve heard people say, “Sales is a grind.” And they’re right. Sales requires relentless effort. You’ve got to make the calls, run the process, deal with internal roadblocks, handle piles of rejection, and show up every day with a smile on your face, ready to do it all over again. But the dirty little secret is that plenty of salespeople push through the grind day after day and still don’t seem to get ahead. They put in the effort and work hard, but get nowhere. All grind, but little progress. Here’s the truth they don’t always tell you: You can grind yourself into the ground and still fail if you don’t have the right mindset and belief system underpinning that effort. To keep it real, I’m the person who shouts from the rooftops that you’ve got to “grind to shine.” I say that in my book Fanatical Prospecting. It’s printed on coffee mugs. I love that mantra because it’s about doing the things other people are unwilling to do. But raw grind isn’t always enough. Sometimes, we need to pair grinding it out with tenacity. Tenacity is a Sustainable Sales Trait In sales, tenacity is a more sustainable trait than raw grind or pure persistence because tenacity combines persistent determination with process certainty and strategy. Grind is about doing the daily, repetitive, rejection-dense work required for success, but it can quickly lead to frustration and burnout when it isn't paired with enduring faith that the hard work is going to pay off.  Tenacity, on the other hand, is grinding combined with the absolute certainty that what you expect to happen is eventually going to happen. That’s the difference between the rep who grinds hard for a quarter, feels that they are getting nowhere, and burns out because they’re not seeing results, and the sales professional who consistently runs the sales playbook, without immediate evidence that it’s working, because they have faith that the process will eventually produce their desired outcomes. Uncertainty Causes You to Constantly Change Your Approach One big problem with grinding without certainty is that when results don’t show up on your impatient timeline, you start changing everything. You make 100 calls this week using one approach. Next week, you try a different script. The week after that, you switch your targeting. Then you read an article about social selling and abandon cold calling altogether. You’re working hard, but you’re also second-guessing every move. You change your messaging before you’ve run it long enough to know if it works. You abandon techniques after a handful of attempts. You skip or change steps in your company’s sales process after a couple of deals don't go your way.  When you put in massive effort, but spread that effort across ten different approaches instead of trusting the proven process and playbook long enough to let it produce results, you end up in an exhausting, demoralizing quagmire of chaos and eventually give up.  The True Meaning of Process Certainty When I say “certainty,” I’m not talking about positive thinking or affirmations or manifestation or any of that rah-rah motivational stuff. Certainty in sales means knowing—not hoping, but knowing—that if you do the right things the right way for long enough, the outcomes are inevitable. That you get the Sales Gravy.  That’s what allows tenacious salespeople to keep grinding when others quit. They’re not grinding on blind faith. They’re grinding on proven evidence that the process works.  For example, in Fanatical Prospecting, I explain the 30 Day Rule, which states that the prospecting you do in any given 30 days tends to pay off over the next 90 days.  The 30-day rule is always in play. It is proven. It is truth. But you'll never see it work if your prospecting is sporadic rather than consistently executed every single day.  The Three Types of Certainty that Power the Tenacity Engine If you want to develop real tenacity—the kind that sustains you through tough markets, rough quarters, and slumps—you need to build certainty in three core areas. 1. Certainty in Your Value You need conviction that what you’re selling genuinely improves your customers' businesses in a meaningful way. When you have that certainty, something shifts. You stop feeling like you’re bothering people or being pushy and start feeling like you are helping them. That you belong there.  And buyers can feel this difference. They sense and respond to your confidence, enthusiasm, and passion for helping them. Which gives you even more certainty. 2. Certainty in Your Process You need confidence that your sales process and playbook actually work.  Most sellers have been provided a proven, repeatable approach to building pipeline, qualifying opportunities, running discovery, handling objections, building consensus, negotiating, and closing business.  If you don't have a process, read or listen to my books Fanatical Prospecting, The LinkedIn Edge, Sales EQ, Objections, Virtual Selling, and Inked. Collectively, these books give you a powerful playbook for success.  But regardless of whether you get your playbook from your company or me, believing that it will work for you is a choice and mindset that only you can step into.  If you are constantly second-guessing the process every time things don't work out the way you want them to, you are doomed to frustration and failure. You'll be a slave to flavor-of-the-day thinking and winging it from call to call and situation to situation. But when you trust the process, you'll be steady, consistent, and confident. And you'll relax because you know that you won't win every time, no one does, but over time, because your process is proven, win probability is in your favor.  3. Certainty in Probability This is the big one. You need certainty that the math works in your favor over time. The simple truth is that sales is a numbers game played with human emotions. Not every call will book a meeting. Not every meeting will turn into an opportunity. Not every opportunity will close. But if you control the inputs—activity level, message quality, process execution—the outputs become predictable and win probability bends in your favor.  Ultra-high performers understand this at a bone-deep level. They know their numbers and conversion rates. This gives them certainty that the statistics are working in their favor.  On the other hand, the reps who are winging it are sky high when something goes well and in the dumps when things don't—without knowing what they did in either situation to affect the outcome. And it is on this emotional roller coaster where they eventually burn out and quit.  Top performers never board this emotional roller coaster because they’re anchored to math, not mood. How to Transform Sales Grind into Certainty-Fueled Tenacity Maybe you’re thinking, “Jeb, this all sounds great, but how do I build this certainty that you speak of?” Fair question. Here are four ways:  Track Process Metrics, Not Just Outcomes If you only measure outcomes—meetings set, deals closed, revenue generated—you’re going to struggle with certainty during the lag time between the grind and results. So instead, track the inputs like calls, conversation ratios, meetings, next step advances, or proposals delivered. When you measure the right activities, you can see progress and celebrate small wins even when results aren't there yet. This builds certainty that the process is working, which sustains your effort through the gap. Practice Until You Don’t Have to Think Competence begets certainty. Competence comes from practice and repetition. Role-play your cold calls. Rehearse your discovery questions. Murder-board your presentations. Practice, practice, practice your sales story, messaging, and handling objections. Record yourself doing it and watch it back. When you’ve practiced something until it is pure muscle memory, you don’t get nervous when it matters. You don’t freeze up or get embarrassed when you fumble. You execute with relaxed confidence. Emotionally Detach from Individual Deals The fastest way to lose certainty is to attach your identity to one opportunity. Tenacious sellers want to win every deal, but they don’t need to win every deal to feel okay about themselves. They treat each opportunity like one at-bat in a long season. Emotional detachment isn’t indifference. It’s a form of professionalism. It’s caring about the outcome without being controlled by it. Install a Mental Script for Rejection When you get rejected, it hurts, and your brain immediately tries to explain why. When you are in pain, it is super easy to default to stories that weaken your mindset and belief system. You say things to yourself like, “I’m not good at this or this isn't working.” Tenacious sellers consciously replace that story with self-talk that maintains certainty. “Not now isn’t never.” “This is part of the math.” My inputs are correct, I executed my process, but this just wasn't the right time for this buyer.” This is how top salespeople think because they know that the greatest threat to tenacity isn’t the rejection, it’s the meaning you assign to the rejection. Grinding Without Certainty is Just Another Form of Suffering Sales will always be a grind. The calls don’t make themselves. The pipeline doesn’t fill itself. The deals don’t close themselves. But grinding without certainty is just another form of suffering. It’s unsustainable. Eventually, you get frustrated, burn out, and give up. Certainty doesn’t eliminate the hard work, but it does make the hard work sustainable. So if you’re grinding right now and not seeing the results you want, don’t just grind harder. Build certainty. Get clear on the value you deliver. Trust your process. Know your numbers. Track the inputs. Practice your craft.  Because tenacity isn’t about being tougher than everyone else. It’s about being certain enough to keep going when everyone else quits. And remember, when you are tired, worn down, and feel like you can’t take another objection, when all you want to do is quit and go home, always stop and make one more call. Because that one more call is the ultimate demonstration of your trust in the process. Get your tickets today to OutBound – the world’s biggest, baddest sales and leadership training conference.

Modern men are struggling… but most are suffering in silence.   In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with Troy DaRonco, relationship coach and cofounder of Groups For Men, to explore the growing epidemic of male isolation, emotional suppression, and broken relationships.   After working with thousands of men over the past 15 years, Troy has seen the same pattern again and again: men were never taught how to communicate emotions, build brotherhood, or lead healthy relationships.   Instead, they were taught to "figure it out alone."   Frank and Troy unpack the deeper roots of this struggle—from fatherlessness and the absence of mentors to the modern distractions that keep men disconnected from themselves and each other.   They also dive into the emotional and relational skills men must develop to build trust, create safety in relationships, and step into stronger leadership in their lives.   The conversation also explores the connection between emotional pain and coping mechanisms like pornography, addiction, and avoidance—and why real transformation starts when a man gets clear on the life he wants to build.   If you're a man who has ever felt isolated, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will challenge you to step into a stronger version of yourself.   Expect to learn: Why so many men are experiencing deep loneliness and isolation   The impact of fatherlessness and lack of male mentorship   Emotional skills men must develop for healthy relationships   Why women test a man's emotional strength   How brotherhood and tribe change everything for men   Why addiction often begins as an attempt to escape pain     The importance of defining the man you want to become     About Troy DaRonco Troy DaRonco is a men's coach, relationship expert, and cofounder of Groups For Men.   For over 15 years, he has helped thousands of men develop emotional intelligence, strengthen relationships, and build authentic brotherhood through group facilitation and coaching.   Through Groups For Men, Troy and his team host weekly men's groups focused on relationships, conflict resolution, and personal growth.   Learn more at groupsformen.com   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ  

Struggling to understand your child's ups and downs? This episode uncovers what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns, anxiety, and focus struggles, giving parents clear insight and tools from Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood emotional dysregulation.Many parents ask, what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns anxiety and focus struggles? The answer isn't bad behavior. It's a stressed nervous system stuck in survival mode.I unveil The Dysregulated Kid, my parenting playbook rooted in nervous system regulation. After three decades as a mental health professional, I want to emphasize: we must stop chasing separate labels and start calming the child's nervous system first.Why does my child have meltdowns, anxiety, and focus problems all at once?Parents are often told these are separate issues—ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, mood swings. But what if your child's meltdowns, emotional dysregulation, and focus struggles are signals from the same activated child's brain?When stress hormones stay elevated, the nervous system shifts into fight or flight mode. The amygdala goes on high alert, and the prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for impulse control, problem solving, and emotional regulation skills—goes offline.That's when you see:Emotional meltdowns over small requestsSensory overload and strong feelingsPoor impulse controlDifficulty starting tasksPublic meltdowns that feel confusing and exhaustingIt's not defiance. It's a child whose nervous system is overwhelmed.What's happening in my child's brain during intense meltdowns?During childhood meltdowns, stress hormones like cortisol surge. In sympathetic overdrive, your child cannot access coping skills or manage emotions effectively.Meltdowns happen when the nervous system loses flexibility. The brain gets stuck in survival mode. Over time, ongoing stress creates patterns of chronic stress that won't resolve without intervention.Signs your child may be overstimulated:Intense reactions and emotional outburstsTrouble settling at nightRigidity and control battlesAnxiety loops and worrySigns of an understimulated pattern:Shutdown or avoidanceSchool refusalMood stabilizers not improving focusProcrastination or appearing “lazy”Both patterns are nervous system issues—not character flaws.If you're not sure whether your child is stuck in an over- or under-stimulated pattern, Quick CALM can help you figure it out fast. Why doesn't discipline or medication fix emotional dysregulation?Many children are treated with pressure, punishment, or medication when behavior escalates. But treating overstimulation with discipline increases stress. Treating underactivation with pressure deepens withdrawal.Stress worsens emotional regulation and emotional resilience. It impacts learning, self regulation, and even long-term mental health.I want to remind parents:This is a capacity issue, not a compliance issue.You must lower stress before layering skills.Nervous system regulation comes before behavior change.You can't teach regulation skills to a child whose brain is in fight or flight mode.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How can I help my dysregulated child calm down?Let's calm the brain first.Practical proactive strategies include:Deep breathing and breathing exercises togetherGentle pressure and deep pressure hugsRhythmic movement or physical activityCreating a quiet space during challenging momentsConsistent routines and clear expectationsModeling remaining calm with a calm voiceWhen a meltdown occurs:Take a deep breath yourselfLower demands temporarilyOffer sensory integration toolsFocus on connection before correctionYour regulated presence helps your child calm. When you regulate your own nervous system, you help children develop emotional regulation skills.

Self-awareness gets a bad rap in leadership. It's either dismissed as too "soft" or treated like something you either have or you don't. But I believe self-awareness is the pixie dust — the foundational ingredient that makes everything else possible. In this episode, I'm diving into one of my favorite topics: the difference between self-awareness and emotional intelligence, and why the order matters more than you think. Emotional intelligence without self-awareness becomes performance. Self-awareness without emotional intelligence becomes self-absorption. Together, in the right order, they are pure leadership magic. I'll walk you through what self-awareness actually looks like in real, practical moments — the irritation, the defensiveness, the energy shifts — and why those moments are data, not weakness. Plus, we'll talk about the power of the pause and what it means to lead from the inside out. If you've ever felt like you know what good leadership looks like but something still isn't clicking, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

Is narcissism actually increasing, or are we simply becoming more aware of it? The truth is that narcissistic traits have always existed throughout history. What changes over time is the environment those traits grow in. In this episode, we explore why covert narcissism seems to be thriving in today's culture and why these behaviors can be so difficult to recognize. Unlike overt narcissism, which is loud and obvious, covert narcissism often hides behind kindness, sensitivity, and a carefully managed image. You'll learn how certain cultural conditions make it easier for these patterns to remain hidden in relationships, families, workplaces, and communities. In this episode, Renee explores five cultural conditions that allow covert narcissistic dynamics to thrive, including: • A culture that prioritizes image over integrity• Impression management replacing self-reflection• Victimhood becoming social protection• Emotional language used without accountability• A growing intolerance for emotional discomfort Understanding these patterns can help you make sense of confusing interactions and recognize when empathy is genuine—and when it may simply be a performance. If you've ever felt like someone in your life appears kind and supportive to others but leaves you feeling confused, blamed, or emotionally drained, this episode will help bring clarity to those experiences.

You may think that to have more impact, more success, and more growth requires you to become tougher. That is so far from the truth. Now that Jupiter is coming to a stop to change directions forward in its exalted sign of Cancer, the stars are inviting you into something more powerful than tough — emotional capacity. The thing I have seen over and over again is that your external reach is limited only by your internal safety. What would you say 'yes' to if you trusted your capacity to hold the emotional weight of your own success? And how is Jupiter direct in Cancer inviting you to swing your pendulum higher? In this episode, Leslie explores why your "internal hearth" is the key to your next big leap in leadership. We dive into the mechanics of Jupiter's forward motion in Cancer and how you can architect a foundation of safety that allows for true, lasting expansion.

We've Got Issues | Boundary Issues | Carl NicholsIn this message from our We've Got Issues series, Pastor Carl Nichols talks about one of the biggest challenges in modern marriages: boundaries. Culture constantly tries to shape how relationships work, but God's Word calls us to something better. When boundaries are unclear or ignored, marriages often drift toward what culture says is normal instead of what God designed. In this message, we explore six areas where marriages commonly struggle with boundaries and how Scripture helps us protect what matters most.Looking for the homework? Head here: https://www.myrelevant.cc/boundariesRomans 12:1–2 reminds us not to conform to the pattern of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.Topics covered in this message:In-law boundariesWork & time boundariesDigital & electronic boundariesEmotional & opposite-sex boundariesFinancial boundariesSexual boundariesHealthy boundaries are not about rejection—they are about protection.When we intentionally establish them, we create space for trust, intimacy, and a marriage that honors God.Boundaries don't limit love—they protect it.

Would you like to have an unstoppable relationship? On this week's episode of Love University, we explore one of the most decisive factors in long-term happiness and relational success: the psychological level of the people you choose to build your life with. Relationships are not neutral. They either strengthen your inner world or weaken it. They either expand your LoveQ or drain it. The difference is not based on status, wealth, intelligence, or surface chemistry. It comes down to emotional maturity and inner development. Here are four core principles for creating unstoppable relationships: Learn to Recognize Invincibility Seekers Invincibility Seekers are individuals committed to inner growth. They work on their thoughts, emotional reactions, and character. They cultivate compassion, patience, confidence, and integrity. When you're around them, you feel steadier and more grounded. These individuals do not need to dominate conversations or prove superiority. Their strength is calm and contained. They handle conflict with maturity. They're kind whether they gain something from you or not. Their presence encourages you to become better without pressuring you to perform. Over time, being aligned with Invincibility Seekers elevates your own psychological level and deepens your capacity for lasting love. See Through the Masks of Negativity Seekers Negativity Seekers are people who complain, gossip, and maintain a negative outlook on life. Don't be fooled. They can appear attractive and charming at first. They may be witty, confident, and engaging. Yet beneath the surface, there is often chronic criticism, entitlement, and emotional volatility. Their kindness frequently depends on what they are receiving. Watch how someone behaves when they can no longer get something from you. Do they remain respectful, or do they become dismissive and hostile? Negativity Seekers often thrive on behind the back talk, argument, and drama because it gives them stimulation and a false sense of power. Over time, their instability drains the emotional reserves of those closest to them. Recognizing this early protects your peace and keeps you from being in a relationship that can cause you long-term damage. Protect Your Psychological Integrity It is not always possible to avoid Negativity Seekers. They may be coworkers, relatives, or even romantic partners. In these cases, emotional boundaries become essential. You must learn to separate your internal state from their external behavior. Refuse to accept anger, gossip, or criticism as emotional currency. When negativity is offered, decline it internally. Maintain composure and steadiness. When you refuse to absorb their emotional turbulence, you conserve your energy and preserve your Invincibility. Your inner power remains intact because you don't sacrifice your integrity for temporary approval or excitement. Attract Your Own Level of Development People connect at similar psychological levels. Insecurity attracts control. Criticism attracts defensiveness. Emotional immaturity attracts chaos. If you repeatedly encounter draining relationships, examine your own internal standards. As you strengthen your self-respect, emotional control, and self-compassion, your relational landscape changes. You stop tolerating behavior that diminishes you. You begin attracting individuals who operate from stability, growth, and generosity. Invincibility Seekers recognize one another because they share a commitment to development and integrity. When you become the kind of person who values growth and emotional strength, you naturally align with others who do the same. An unstoppable relationship with an Invincibility Seeker is your greatest prize. Start developing one today and your life will rise with love and joy.

Emotional availability isn't about feeling emotions loudly or perfectly — it's about presence, regulation, and the ability to hold space without shutting down or exploding. Our capacity shifts based on stress, attachment history, neurodivergence, and what's happening in our window of tolerance. Instead of hunting for the “perfectly available” partner, growth starts with understanding your own patterns and learning to show up vulnerably and clearly.

Emotional connection is powerful—but is it enough? In this episode, Yue questions the idea that love can truly be “blind" but beyond just being physically attracted, and more about the general ease and connection you share in a physical space. Drawing from the TV show Love Is Blind (which she has gotten hooked this season), a recent experience with a friend of hers, and her own time in a"virtual" relationship before she finally met up with the guy in San Francisco, she explores why physical chemistry and nonverbal cues matter more than we admit. This is another reason to take the leap and go meet in person as soon as possible (even if the connection starts online).

Join the Emotional Eating Programwww.imnotquitting.com In this episode of the Becoming Thin Podcast, Chris explores a powerful question many people overlook when trying to lose weight. Why do we gain the weight in the first place? Instead of focusing only on dieting strategies, he digs into the deeper psychological patterns that often drive emotional eating. Drawing from both research and years of coaching experience, Chris introduces four common emotional patterns that frequently show up in people who struggle with emotional eating: the Appeaser, the Imposter, the Perfectionist, and the Suppressor.  Throughout the episode, Chris walks through each of these personality patterns and how they quietly influence behavior around food. Appeasers struggle to say no and often carry resentment from constantly putting others first. Imposters feel like frauds despite their accomplishments and live with constant pressure to prove themselves. Perfectionists tie their self-worth to flawless performance and often spiral when they fall short. Suppressors bury difficult emotions until the pressure eventually finds an outlet, sometimes through food or other forms of escape. By recognizing these patterns, listeners can begin to see how emotional eating is often a symptom of deeper emotional habits rather than simply a lack of willpower.  Chris emphasizes that awareness is the first step toward lasting change. Emotional eating is not something that disappears overnight, but these patterns can absolutely be worked through with time, honesty, and the right support. He closes the episode by inviting listeners who resonate with these patterns to go deeper through his 10-week emotional eating program inside the Guild, where he helps members confront the root causes of weight gain so they can not only lose weight but keep it off and ultimately become thin, healthy, happy, and in shape.

Healthcare executive and leadership author Jim Carlo joins me to unpack a deceptively simple idea: leadership isn't granted by a title — it's earned through trust.In many organizations, the path to management still looks the same. A strong individual contributor performs well, gets promoted, and suddenly finds themselves responsible for leading people without any real preparation for what leadership actually requires.This conversation explores what happens in that transition.Jim Carlo reflects on 35+ years in the healthcare industry, including lessons from his earliest leadership roles where, by his own admission, he made many of the mistakes new leaders make. Moving from authority-based management to trust-based leadership is rarely immediate — it's something leaders grow into through experience, humility, and reflection.We talk through the psychological hurdles that show up when people step into leadership for the first time, including imposter syndrome and the pressure to immediately prove competence. Jim argues that the instinct to start talking and directing is often the wrong move. The most effective leaders begin by listening, observing, and learning how their teams actually operate.The conversation also explores how leadership itself is evolving as organizations adapt to new technologies like artificial intelligence. While AI may automate processes and flatten hierarchies, the human dimensions of leadership — empathy, trust, emotional awareness, and stability — remain irreplaceable.Where machines can optimize outputs, leaders must understand people.Jim shares the framework he's developing to help leaders earn the “right to lead,” built around principles like transparency, emotional intelligence, consistency, and integrity. These are not soft skills. They are the foundation of trust, and without trust, leadership collapses into authority without followership.This episode is a candid discussion about leadership maturity, organizational culture, and why the most important skill for modern leaders may simply be learning how to show up — consistently, transparently, and human.The lesson isn't about commanding authority.It's about becoming someone people genuinely want to follow.TL;DR• Leadership is not granted by a title — it's earned through trust• New managers often struggle with imposter syndrome and overcompensation• The best leaders begin by listening before directing• AI may automate processes, but it cannot replace human leadership• Emotional intelligence and empathy are becoming more important, not less• Stability and consistency from leaders create psychological safety for teams• Leadership development is a lifelong process, not a one-time promotionMemorable Lines“Leadership isn't about authority — it's about followership.”“The first thing a new leader wants to do is talk. The best thing they can do is listen.”“Integrity is non-negotiable. Without trust, leadership doesn't exist.”“AI can measure performance, but it can't understand people.”“Leadership evolves because people and environments evolve.”GuestJim Carlo — Healthcare executive, leadership author, and speakerA 35-year veteran of the healthcare industry, Jim has worked across insurance and healthcare technology while developing leadership frameworks designed to help organizations build trust-driven leadership cultures.

In this episode of The Black Country Blokes, Kev and Lee sit down with Paul Gough, the long-standing director and head coach of Priory Park Boxing Club in Dudley, who has spent 30 years using boxing to change lives.What started as a boxing club on Priory Road has grown into a community hub supporting 300–400 people every week, offering training, mentorship, and opportunities for young people, veterans, emergency services and local families.The club has produced Schoolboy, Golden Gloves and National Youth champions, but Paul's proudest achievement might be what's happening outside the ring.Paul also founded Priory Park Community School, an alternative provision for young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties, or those at risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream education.Located in the Wren's Nest area of Dudley, the school offers something unique — combining education with mentoring through sport, boxing, and outdoor learning.Students benefit from:

Have you ever felt restless without quite knowing why? Not deeply unhappy and not exactly burned out, just faintly dissatisfied, as though something essential were missing. That feeling may be what I call emotional hunger. In this episode, we explore why so many of us reach for quick fixes like distraction, productivity, or reassurance, only to find that the relief never quite lasts. Beneath those impulses is often a deeper unmet need — one that hasn't yet been clearly named. Drawing from personal insight and psychological frameworks, we'll look at how emotional hunger shows up in everyday life, why we often feed it substitutes, and how to recognize the signals your inner “dashboard” may be sending. By the end of this conversation, you'll learn how to identify the deeper needs beneath your habits and restlessness, and how to begin nourishing them in ways that bring genuine clarity, balance, and fulfillment.

#368: Are you the one who's not frozen… but furious? The one whose rage erupts at the dinner table, at work, in organizing spaces, because you are done watching injustice slide by? What if your rage is valid, but not always effective? In this episode, I talk directly to the firebrands. I break down what happens in your nervous system when rage takes over, how sympathetic activation shuts down strategic thinking, and why constant eruption can isolate you instead of building power. I explore how rage and emotional outsourcing are connected, and how reacting from activation keeps you just as hijacked as freezing does. You'll learn how to recognize when rage is righteous and when it's discharge, how to regulate without suppressing your anger, and how to channel your rage strategically. I share practical ways to stay connected to your values while deciding when to disrupt, when to educate, and when to walk away. Your rage is fuel. Let's learn how to direct it.

When I visited Paris in 1993, I had been helping my parents sell my grandmothers house. My father said "we are taking you and Sandra to Tour D'Argent."  THe whole story for another time.  My father spoke French to the Sommelier and asked for the 1945 Lafite Rothschild...an epic of the epics. At that time, it was $3,500. As the Sommelier presented the bottle in it's wicker carrier, the age of the crust and the caking of the dust was admiarable. There was considerable ullage (the air gap bewteen the cork and the wine). In French, my father suggests "Open it, it is fine, I buy it, if is over the hill, you buy it "...the reply? "Non, Monsieur" He order the 1962 Cos D'Estrournel.  So when I heard the Techinical Director, Dominique Arangoits was in town, I had to sit for a podcast. I can guarantee you that my French is much better now.   Dominique Arangoits wasn't raised on grand cru vineyards or surrounded by the opulent châteaux that so often feature in Bordeaux lore. Instead, he began his story in the rugged Basque country, a region where the mountains meet the Spanish border and family tradition meant tending to a small patch of vines for homemade wine. There's something poetic in how his early memories, flavored by the modest vineyard his grandfather cared for, foreshadowed a journey that would lead him to the highest echelons of wine science and estate management. In this episode, Dominique's story unfolds with the humility and curiosity of someone who didn't set out to be a winemaker, but who became one by way of chance and passion. He recounts to Paul Kalemkiarian how agronomy studies in Bordeaux presented the fork in the road—that pivotal moment when Dominique first glimpsed the bridge between science and art, and realized that winemaking could be not just a career, but a lifelong passion. From there, the journey took him abroad to Hungary's Tokaj region, where he learned the complexities of building a winery from scratch; returning to France, he brought those lessons to Cos d'Estournel, entrusted with one of the most ambitious projects in Bordeaux: imagining an entirely new winery "from an empty sheet." But this episode isn't just about technical prowess or the mechanics of grape growing. Listen closely and you'll hear Dominique's profound reverence for terroir—a concept he elevates above all else, even above the winemaker himself. To Dominique, the role of the grape variety is not to dominate, but to "read" the land, allowing the subtle, emotional taste of the place to emerge in the bottle. When faced with climate change, he doesn't lament, but adapts, observing how today's warmer vintages make Cabernet Sauvignon easier to ripen and forever alter the definition of what makes a "classic" Bordeaux. Throughout the conversation, Paul Kalemkiarian pushes Dominique with questions about politics and classification—why second growths matter, whether the age-old Bordeaux rankings will ever shift, and how a winery's image is forged not just by legacy but by ambition. Dominique's candor shines as he describes what distinguishes a big wine: it's not pleasure alone, but the emotion and even awe that sometimes make time stop, elevating wine to the level of art. Listeners are brought into the intimate rituals of blending wine, tasting berries, and understanding the unique personality of every block in the vineyard. You'll learn why no single measure tells a winemaker when to harvest—taste, acidity, skin thickness, and memory all combine in the delicate act of coaxing the best from the land. The story is peppered with wry anecdotes about natural wines, discussions of organic practice, and the challenges of balancing tradition with evolution. The episode invites you not just to think about wine, but to feel it: as Dominique says, great wine should take your hand and guide you on a journey, even sometimes through uncertainty, before returning you to a place of wonder. It's not about price, brand, or even technical perfection—it's about experiencing the taste of a vineyard's history, climate, and character, revealed glass by glass. Dominique Arangoits has a knack for distilling the soul of a vineyard into a bottle—so much so that, as he put it, the terroir triumphs over grape variety, winemaker, and even the farming method. As you listen to this episode, you'll discover how Dominique Arangoits, a Basque-born wine scientist who stumbled into his lifelong passion during his studies in Bordeaux, reveals the intricate dance between climate, soil, and human ambition in the world-class wines of Cos d'Estournel. You'll hear tales of building wineries literally from scratch—lessons learned in Hungary brought home to Bordeaux, where he and his team shape a new generation of wine rooted in tradition but alive with innovation, such as gravity-fed fermentations and early blending techniques. The classification politics, from second growth to market image, get unpacked with wit and candor: hear how owners navigate legacy, ambition, and the ever-evolving challenge of ratings. Not only will you grasp what "terroir" really means, but you'll appreciate why a block of vineyard is as complicated—and moody—as a person, and how climate change is rewriting the rules of ripeness for Cabernet Sauvignon. Whether it's the chemistry of blending, the surprising complexity of press wine, or the emotional experience evoked by a truly special bottle, this conversation makes clear that wine is far more than what's in the glass—it's a voyage. Even if you think you know Bordeaux, you'll come away with an insider's perspective on what makes a great wine, why classification matters (and doesn't), and how the miracle of a grape becomes a story worth tasting again and again. What you will hear: The passionate journey of Dominique Arangoits from a Basque childhood vineyard to managing world-renowned estates in Hungary and Bordeaux—revealing how terroir and tradition shape his philosophy of winemaking. How climate change is transforming Bordeaux's landscape, making Cabernet Sauvignon easier to ripen than ever before and influencing every decision from harvesting to blending, as explained through real-world examples and surprises. Behind-the-scenes wisdom on wine classification politics, blending methodology, and why every block of vineyard has its own personality—plus candid thoughts on natural wine, organic practices, and what truly differentiates a great bottle from a forgettable one.

In this powerful Q&A episode, Uncle Joe and I tackle one of the most common — and emotionally charged — challenges men face: feeling disrespected by their wives and not knowing how to respond without escalating the situation. We unpack why reacting in anger never works, why most men were never taught conflict resolution skills, and how to move from emotional reactivity to grounded leadership.   Uncle Joe also shares his raw personal story — three failed marriages, a radical transformation in faith, and what it really means to earn respect instead of demanding it. If you've ever struggled with triggers, short fuses, or feeling misunderstood at home, this episode will give you both tactical tools and deeper perspective.     Timeline Summary [1:02] Reintroducing Uncle Joe and the story behind his name [4:11] Three failed marriages and the transformation that followed  [10:59] The marriage question: What do you do when you feel disrespected?  [15:52] Why most men were never taught conflict resolution  [18:23] Fighting for what you don't want vs. clearly stating what you do want  [19:58] Creating rules of engagement for healthy conflict  [22:13] Knowing your triggers and lengthening your fuse  [28:27] Respect is earned through leadership, not demanded  [31:57] Real peace isn't the absence of chaos — it's stability in the storm      Five Key Takeaways Most men were never taught healthy conflict resolution — it's a skill you must intentionally learn. When you argue for what you don't want, you create more confusion — clarity changes everything. Emotional triggers are rarely just about your spouse — they're often tied to your own story. Respect in marriage grows when you lead consistently and earn trust daily. Real peace is developed internally — not dependent on external calm.       Links & Resources Roommates to Soulmates Cohort & Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Episode Link & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1447   Closing   If you're struggling with triggers, short fuses, or feeling disrespected at home — don't ignore it and don't explode over it.   Learn the skill.

In this episode, I talk directly to men about why calm is not optional. If you want to lead, if you want authority, calm is a requirement. When emotions rise around you, especially in pressure moments, your job is not to match the energy. Your job is to hold your position. I explain how every pressure event is a test of your stability, and people rank you based on how you respond. If you lose your calm, you lose position, even if nobody says a word. Show Notes: [02:35]#1 Emotional escalation tests your containment, not your empathy. [10:42]#2 Reacting emotionally collapses polarity. [16:03]#3 Calm signals control of consequence. [21:12] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.
