Do you find your business stressful? Almost everyone says yes — and almost everyone thinks the variable is how it's going financially. But what if it isn't? This week, Michael shares a personal breakthrough that shifted the way he relates to both business and money — one that led to him enjoying his work more consistently and, as an early return, making considerably more money at the same time.  In this episode: Why the "outside-in" story about money and stress is so convincing — and why it still isn't true The mirror test and the social media test: two simple ways to see that your state of mind is the variable Why separating your enjoyment of your work from your financial results actually improves both The shift in thinking that can lead to more clients, more income, and enjoying every minute of it ________________________________________

Sports medicine physician,endurance athlete and 1% Better Podcast host  - Dave Lipman - checks in for a wide-ranging conversation covering the realities of podcasting, the future of endurance technology, recovery methods, supplements, sleep tracking, heat adaptation, longevity trends, GLP-1s, peptides, and where the line should be drawn between performance enhancement and fair competition. Dave Lipman Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdavidlipman/ 1% Better Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onepercentbetterpod/| 1% Better Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4bG2U3dciEduX8c3PUtkrQ Matt Fox Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Coaching: https://www.sweatelitecoaching.com/ Supporters Club: https://www.sweatelite.co/supporters YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SweatElite Matt welcomes Dave back to the podcast and the pair begin by discussing the realities of producing endurance content. They talk about the challenges of scheduling guests, dealing with cancellations and technical issues, recording in person versus remotely, and why some of the best conversations happen when the host and guest don't know each other particularly well beforehand. Dave also shares his podcast inspirations, what he currently listens to, and the endurance personalities he would most like to interview. The conversation then shifts toward the future of endurance performance technology. Dave discusses continuous lactate monitoring, multi-analyte sensors capable of tracking biomarkers such as glucose, ketones, cortisol, and hormones, as well as emerging ventilation and respiratory wearables. They explore whether future devices will be able to separate metabolic stress from mechanical and neuromuscular load, creating more useful insights than current metrics alone. Matt and Dave discuss the balance between useful data and over-analysis, touching on sleep tracking, orthosomnia, and how athletes can become overly reliant on wearable feedback. Dave explains why subjective feel still matters and why training should ultimately enhance enjoyment rather than create more stress. The discussion moves into supplements, with Dave outlining his practical framework for evaluating evidence and deciding what is worth using. They cover bicarbonate products such as Maurten Bicarb and Nomio, creatine, beta-alanine, beet nitrates, taurine, and the supplement trends currently gaining traction in endurance sport. Recovery strategies are another major focus. Dave reviews the evidence surrounding ice baths, sauna use, heat adaptation, active versus passive heat exposure, and how timing these interventions incorrectly may blunt training adaptations. They also discuss sweat rate adaptations, the interaction between heat and altitude training, and examples of accidental training breakthroughs that emerged from environmental stress. The final section of the conversation examines the rapidly growing longevity and biohacking space. Matt and Dave discuss Bryan Johnson, GLP-1 medications, peptides, anti-aging interventions, anti-doping gray areas, and whether amateur athletes should be held to different standards than professionals. The discussion expands into super shoes, emerging performance technologies, and how the sport may need to adapt as new forms of enhancement become increasingly accessible.

Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders. Reading by Tim Foley.

The Vishuddhi chakra has sixteen petals, each with different qualities and functions. On the physical side, it looks after throat, arms, face, mouth, teeth, etc., so they must all be taken care of. For instance, protecting yourself from the cold, avoiding tobacco, taking proper dental care, and so on. This is particularly important for your vibratory awareness, as the nerves which register the vibrations in the hands pass through this centre.

19 turns, elevation gain (and descent too) plus instruction and this is a place to improve your driving skills. You can google Island Motorsports Circuit and learn more about what they offer. I kept hearing about the place and had the urge to know more. I had the pleasure of a morning visit to the track and even a ride round. This episode with Ross and Dan explores the suite of services, and beyond the safety and confidence categories definitely there is the sense your enjoyment of driving can also be enhanced.

There's a belief buried so deep in our culture that almost no one questions it: the more you enjoy your work, the less you should expect to get paid. But what if that's simply not true? Today, Michael revisits a deceptively revealing exercise from his coaching work - a nine-square grid used by a venture capitalist to expose people's hidden assumptions about enjoyment and income. In this episode: The nine-square grid exercise - and what almost no one ever questions when they do it Why the cultural belief that "harder = more money" and "enjoyable = less money" isn't factual What you actually get paid for (hint: it's not your experience of the work) What changes when you separate your enjoyment from your income in your own mind

Most rental portfolios stall between $500,000 and $5 million. Not because the deals stop. Because the owner is still operating like a technician instead of a CEO. In this episode, Brian talks with Andy Clark, bestselling author of Getting the Whole Pie and creator of the Whole Pie System. Andy works with small business owners who have hit operational ceilings and need structure, clarity, and accountability to scale sustainably. If your rental business feels heavier than it used to… this conversation is for you. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why growth creates operational strain between $1M–$5M The difference between being a visionary and an executor Why what got you here won't get you there The three pillars of a healthy business: Profit, Impact, Enjoyment How to build a foundation before scaling further The four components of the "flywheel" that drive sustainable growth Why clear ownership prevents chaos How to identify the right metrics for your portfolio Why decisive action beats perfect analysis How unresolved issues drain energy and stall momentum Why business owners often choose their own frustration The Whole Pie Framework Andy's system focuses on three core outcomes: Profit – Strong, sustainable financial performance Impact – Making lives better through your business Enjoyment – Building a company that doesn't own you Too many investors focus only on profit. But when impact and enjoyment are ignored, burnout, stagnation, and operational breakdown follow. The Flywheel: Turning Strategy Into Execution Once the foundation is built, Andy implements a structured "flywheel" model: Clear Ownership of priorities Right Metrics that act as your dashboard Smart Decisions using data and values Great Meetings that drive accountability It's not flashy. It's not sexy. But it's what separates sustainable growth from chaos. Why This Matters for Rental Property Owners If you: Feel stuck at a certain portfolio size Are involved in every decision Can't step away without things breaking Are growing revenue but not freedom You're not alone. The solution isn't more units. It's better structure.

Income goes up and spending rises to meet it. Nicer restaurants, newer cars, better vacations, upgraded everything. None of it is wrong in isolation. But when the love of comfort quietly becomes the organizing principle of your finances, you end up with a life that looks successful from the outside and feels precarious from the inside. Solomon warned about this in Proverbs: whoever loves pleasure will become poor. He wasn't warning against enjoyment. He was warning against making enjoyment the point of money. Enjoyment is a gift. It makes a terrible master. Most of us don't actually need more income. We need to be honest about the difference between a need, a want, and a desire. So here's a practical challenge: look at last month's bank statement and label each major category. Need, want, or desire. You don't have to change everything today. Just see it clearly.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Most people never start the thing they want most in life because they research themselves right out of it. In this episode, I get real about how information overload is one of the sneakiest dream killers out there, and how the simple act of just jumping in and finding out if you enjoy something has been behind every meaningful thing I have built. If you have been waiting until you know everything before you start, this episode is your wake-up call. Key Takeaways Too much research before starting something new can talk you out of the very thing you were meant to do. Enjoyment has to come first. Strategy can always be layered on later, but you cannot build backward. Showing growth matters more than showing perfection. My first book had a typo in the first three words, and I am proud of it. You do not have to understand everything about something to know that you love it. Sometimes "I enjoy this" is enough of a reason to begin. Waiting for the perfect plan is how you spend your whole life on the sidelines watching instead of playing. Action Steps Identify one thing you have been researching but never started, and commit to taking one real action on it today, before you do any more research. Ask yourself honestly whether the goal you are chasing is something you genuinely enjoy, or just something you think you should want. Let the answer guide your next move. Release the need for perfection before launch. Write the first chapter, book the first gig, or take the first class. Let people see your growth in real time. Notable Quote Find what you love, find something you're passionate about, and then put some skill to it. You'll build a life that you want. You'll build a life that you're proud of.

This week, we're reposting one of our top episodes from back in October 2025. With all the options out there—strength training, cardio, recovery tools, nutrition strategies, supplements—it's easy to feel overwhelmed trying to "do it all." But the truth is, you don't have to. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on how we prioritize our own health and fitness routines based on real life, current goals, evolving interests, and actual needs—not trends. We break down: · Why we don't always do what's "optimal" · How we adjust protocols based on seasons of life · How we choose the way we're going to train · What we're saying no to in order to say yes to what matters most · How to build a plan that reflects your priorities Whether you're deep in a training block, just getting back into a routine, or trying to juggle it all—this episode will help you simplify, focus, and make your fitness serve your life.

Retirement is often described as the finish line—the long-awaited season when work finally ends, and leisure begins. But what if that picture is incomplete? For believers, retirement does not mean purpose expires. It may simply mean that purpose takes on a new expression. We were created by God not merely to earn a paycheck, but to serve, contribute, create, encourage, and reflect His character in the world. That calling does not end when a career does. Mitch Anthony, bestselling author of The New Retirementality: Planning Your Life and Living Your Dreams…at Any Age You Want, has spent decades helping people rethink retirement. He joins the show today to share a simple but deeply important message: retirement should not be the end of meaningful work. It should be a new season of purposeful living. Work as Worship One of the most powerful ways to rethink retirement begins with a biblical understanding of work itself. In Hebrew, the word avodah conveys both work and worship. That connection reminds us that work was never meant to be separate from our calling before God. Work, at its best, is not merely labor. It is an opportunity to bring value to others and meaning to our own lives. That may happen through a career, but also through volunteering, mentoring, serving in the church, caring for family, teaching, consulting, creating, or encouraging others. Mitch defines work as “an engagement that brings value to others and meaning to you.” That broader definition helps us see that meaningful work is not limited to employment. It includes any faithful contribution that blesses others and reflects the gifts God has given us. Retirement Is Not a “Use By” Date Our culture often treats retirement as though people reach a certain age and are no longer needed. But that idea does not reflect biblical wisdom. Human beings are not products with expiration dates. We are image-bearers of God, created with gifts, experience, wisdom, and calling. While the pace or form of our work may change with age, our purpose does not disappear. That does not mean everyone should work a traditional job until the end of life. Rest matters. Enjoyment matters. Slowing down may be wise and necessary. But the question is not simply, “When can I stop working?” A better question is, “How can I continue bringing value to others in this season of life?” The Problem With Leisure Alone Many people imagine retirement as a permanent vacation. After decades of work, they look forward to golf, travel, hobbies, and relaxation. Those can all be good gifts from God. But leisure alone cannot carry the weight of a meaningful life. Mitch points out that there are diminishing returns to leisure. When recreation becomes the whole purpose of life, it often loses its joy. What once felt refreshing can begin to feel repetitive. The goal is not to choose between vacation and vocation. The goal is a healthy rhythm of both. Rest gives energy to our calling, and meaningful contribution makes rest more enjoyable. The Non-Financial Challenges of Retirement Most retirement planning focuses on money: savings, income, investments, Social Security, taxes, and health care costs. Those are important. But they are not the whole story. Retirement also brings significant non-financial challenges. People may struggle with identity, routine, mental engagement, relationships, and a sense of usefulness. For someone who has spent decades in a profession, stepping away can raise painful questions: Who am I now? What do I do with my time? Where am I needed? Mitch also notes that intellectual challenge matters. When people stop engaging their minds, solving problems, learning, and contributing, they may begin to feel themselves slowing down. Staying mentally and relationally engaged is an important part of a healthy retirement. Created for Good Works For Christians, the conversation about retirement must include Ephesians 2:10, which says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” There is no retirement clause in that verse. God created His people for good works—not as a way to earn salvation, but as the fruit of His grace in our lives. Those good works may look different in each season, but they remain part of our calling. Retirement may change your schedule, income, title, or responsibilities. But it does not change the truth that you belong to Christ and have been gifted to serve others. Finding Purpose in a New Season For those entering retirement or already in it, the key is to ask better questions. What gifts has God given me? What knowledge and experience have I gained? Who could benefit from what I know? Where can I bring value to others? What kind of work still gives meaning rather than simply draining me? Those questions can open the door to mentoring younger professionals, serving in ministry, helping nonprofits, teaching a class, encouraging families, offering practical wisdom, or simply being more present to people who need care. Purpose in retirement does not have to be grand or public. Faithfulness often looks ordinary. But ordinary service, offered to God, can be deeply meaningful. A Better Vision for Retirement Retirement is not the end of usefulness. It is not a retreat from calling. And it is not merely a reward for decades of labor. For the follower of Christ, retirement can be a season of renewed purpose—a time to live with wisdom, generosity, rest, and meaningful contribution. The goal is not simply to have enough money to stop working. The goal is to steward the life God has given you for His glory and the good of others. Your career may end. Your title may change. Your pace may slow. But your purpose in Christ remains. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My husband died eight months ago without a will in New York. The state says his assets should be divided between his children and me from a previous relationship, even though they never contributed to our finances or home. My name wasn't on his bank accounts or the house. Is there any legal way to petition the court and argue that the inheritance should go entirely to me? I'm 53 and started contributing to my employer's 401(k) a little over two years ago. It's my only retirement savings, and I've been contributing pre-tax based on the idea that I may be in a lower tax bracket in retirement. Now I have about $22,000 saved. Given my age and limited time to contribute, should I keep contributing pre-tax or switch some or all of my contributions to Roth?

Enjoyment and entertainment are not inherently sinful, but because smartphones are engineered to capture time and attention, entertainment can grow to master a person's life. And this is true for any age! In today's episode, we are evaluating the benefit of smartphones for “amusement” as described by Dr. Peter Gray. Is this a real benefit for kids? Is it a biblically faithful way to raise kids? What is lost when airpods are always in? When distraction is always available? When ‘not thinking’ becomes the goal?

Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, social scientist, and three-time New York Times bestselling author whose life's work centers on a single, urgent question: what actually makes a human life feel meaningful? In this conversation, we explore why depression and anxiety have surged since 2008, how technology has hijacked the part of the brain responsible for wonder and meaning, and what it looks like to live, as Arthur puts it, like his great-grandfather Leroy, present, bored at times, and genuinely alive.What moved me most in this conversation is how Arthur bridges the ancient and the scientific without losing either. We get into the three components of meaning, coherence, purpose, and significance, as well as the dangers of extrinsic reward, the psychology of calling, and why the formula most of us are running on is just slightly off. His answer to the meaning crisis is not complicated. Use things, love people, worship the divine. But getting there requires honest self-examination, and this conversation is a strong beginning.MUDWTR - Up to 43% off sitewide (and a free frother!)https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]Try LMNT & get a free sample pack https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfBiOptimizers - Best magnesium to enhance your sleephttps://www.bioptimizers.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off at checkoutAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Introduction: Arthur Brooks01:54 The Modern Meaning Crisis02:47 Coherence, Purpose, and Significance06:17 Why Meaning Collapsed After 200814:19 The Doom Loop of Technology20:22 The Death of Boredom25:13 Ad: Mudwtr26:34 Living Like Leroy: The Case for Real Life30:05 Six Practices for the Right Hemisphere36:22 The Morning Routine and Brahma Mahurta43:35 Ad: LMNT44:39 Ad: BiOptimizers45:47 Breaking Free from Your Phone49:07 Romantic Love and the Paradox of Choice54:59 Finding Your Calling1:01:29 Progress, Arrival Fallacy, and Living Now1:17:22 Enjoyment, Satisfaction, and Meaning1:19:36 The External Scoreboard and Love Is Not Earned1:25:10 The Four Idols1:29:49 Self-Transcendence and the Divine1:37:40 Marriage, Adoption, and Walking to Heaven1:45:03 Suffering, Beauty, and Meaning1:53:59 Use Things, Love People, Worship the Divine___________Episode Resources: https://www.arthurbrooks.com/https://www.instagram.com/arthurcbrooks/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 Enjoyment and satisfaction is found when we recognize that all things come from God.

Ecclesiastes 5:8–6:12 - exposes the emptiness of trusting in government, money, possessions, or achievement to give lasting meaning. Solomon shows that wealth and success often increase anxiety rather than peace, and a life spent chasing more can still leave the soul unsatisfied. Even under God's sovereignty, human choices still matter, and people remain responsible for how they live and what they pursue. Instead of building life around endless striving, Solomon points toward a quieter rhythm of flourishing: enjoy meals with others, work faithfully, accept your limits, and practice gratitude. True joy is found not in prestige or accumulation, but in receiving everyday life as a gift from God, marked by contentment, meaningful work, shared community, and thankfulness toward the Giver of every good thing.

“The Vanity of Riches and the Gift of Enjoyment” - a lesson on finding contentment in life, not by having much necessarily, but by seeing all that we have as the portion granted to us by our heavenly Father, who loves and desires only the best for His children. Music: “The Insanity of Vanity, Part 9.” Lyrics by Toby Logsdon. Performed by “Theotronica!” Copyright ©TobyLogsdon, 2026

This sermon, drawn from Ecclesiastes 5:8–6:9, confronts the futility of pursuing earthly riches as a source of lasting satisfaction, revealing how the love of money leads to anxiety, moral decay, and spiritual emptiness, even among the wealthy. Through a chiastic structure, it contrasts the restless dissatisfaction of the rich with the peaceful rest of the laboring poor, emphasizing that material abundance cannot fulfill the soul and that true contentment is not found in possessions but in God's sovereign gift. The central message affirms that joy and peace come only when believers recognize all good things as divine gifts, trust in God's provision, and find their ultimate satisfaction in Him rather than in the created world. The sermon calls for a transformed heart—one that fears God, rejects idolatry, and rejoices in the present blessings as part of a greater, eternal purpose, ultimately pointing to Christ as the only source of true and lasting contentment.

In this episode, we sit down with best-selling author and business strategist Andy Clark to unpack the ideas behind his latest book, Getting The Whole PIE: How to Create More Profit, Impact, and Enjoyment in Your Small Business… Getting The Whole PIE is a roadmap for small business owners looking for a proven system to grow their business without working more. Many entrepreneurs start with big dreams but end up buried in tasks, overwhelmed by decisions, and frustrated that their hard work isn't producing the results they expected — but it doesn't have to stay that way. Andy shares a practical path forward by helping business owners create more of the three outcomes that matter most: profit, impact, and enjoyment (P-I-E). This conversation explores: Why so many small business owners get stuck. How to grow your business without working more hours. Practical systems for improving operations and team alignment. Ways to avoid falling into the "success paradox." With a background in business law and two decades of experience advising entrepreneurs, Andy developed The Whole PIE System™,  a practical, step-by-step framework for getting out of the weeds and leading with confidence. He has worked with business owners across North America to simplify operations, align their teams, and drive sustainable growth. His approach blends strategic thinking with real-world execution, always grounded in what actually works for small businesses with limited time and big ambitions.

A simple conversation with my friend Yolo about a room she decorated sparked a realization that changed how I think about talent, purpose, and the life we're building. Too many people are great at things they hate, grinding through careers they chose for money or status instead of joy. In this episode, I break down exactly how to find what you love, own it out loud, and let the right opportunities find you. Key Takeaways Most people don't recognize their own natural talents because they've always just done them without thinking. Enjoyment is the foundation of mastery — when you love something, you spend more time on it, and more time always leads to improvement. Being skilled at something is not a good enough reason to build your life around it if it drains you every single day. Broadcasting what you enjoy — not just what you're good at — opens doors that staying quiet will never unlock. Dreams die not from lack of talent, but because nobody ever knew that was your dream in the first place. Action Steps Identify one thing you do naturally and enjoy deeply, even if you have never thought of it as a real skill or career path. Share that passion with at least three people in your immediate circle this weekend and see how they respond. Commit to putting time into what you enjoy without focusing on money or outcome — show up consistently and let purpose follow. Notable Quote You can only grow a passion for something that you're actually passionate about.

Erin Stapleton researchs destruction, archival imperfection, material volatility, resistance and ambiguity in digital and visual cultures, identity and media. Her current project, Catastrophic Loss, investigates how colonial logics continue to inform everyday digital media cultures and practices, the fragility of these systems, and the losses they threaten and produce.We discuss her book, The Intoxication of Destruction in Theory, Culture and Media: A Philosophy of Expenditure After Georges Bataille, which was published in 2022 by Amsterdam University Press (and published in paperback by Routledge in 2025). In it, she takes destruction as the founding operation of culture and trace it through philosophy, the media of September 11 and disaster films, end-of-the-world narratives, execution and eroticism, before addressing the effects of the displacement of linear destruction on the culture and media produced in digital systems. In other words, it's got sex, death, explosions… and computers. And an unexpected amount of Walter Benjamin for some reason. And a joke that will only be funny to people who are intimately familiar with Australian slang and Georges Bataille.She completed her PhD with the London Graduate School at Kingston University, and my other qualifications at the University of Melbourne, where she now teaches in Media and Communications.Stapleton's site: https://drerinkstapleton.wordpress.com/Book link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intoxication-Destruction-Theory-Culture-Media/dp/9463724532--- Become part of the Hermitix community: Hermitix Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/Hermitixpodcast⁠⁠⁠ Support Hermitix: Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hermitix⁠⁠⁠ Donations: - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.me/hermitixpod⁠⁠⁠ Hermitix Merchandise - ⁠⁠⁠http://teespring.com/stores/hermitix-2⁠⁠⁠ Bitcoin Donation Address: 3LAGEKBXEuE2pgc4oubExGTWtrKPuXDDLK Ethereum Donation Address: 0x31e2a4a31B8563B8d238eC086daE9B75a00D9E74

As a business owner, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and lose sight of the bigger picture. We often focus on one area, like sales or marketing, while other parts of the business start to lag. This is why I'm such a big believer in frameworks - they provide the structure needed to ensure the whole business is healthy and moving in the right direction.My conversation with Andy Clark, creator of the Whole Pie System, is all about this holistic approach. We explore why true business success isn't just about the money you make, but also the positive effect you have and the personal satisfaction you get from your work.Here are three key areas we discussed:✳️ The interconnected nature of Profit, Impact, and Enjoyment (PIE) and why you need all three for a sustainable and fulfilling business.✳️ How focusing on customer experience is one of the most powerful levers for increasing both profit and your own enjoyment of the business.✳️ The "Moneyball" approach to business - identifying the unique metrics and drivers of success for your specific industry and building your strategy around them.Based on our conversation, here are three actions you can take this week:✳️ Gain clarity on your business's strengths and weaknesses by taking Andy's 10-minute Whole Pie Health Check.✳️ Free up 2-3 hours a week by creating a 'Stop Doing List' - identifying and eliminating tasks that don't move the needle.✳️ Increase your enjoyment at work by identifying one major frustration in your business and taking a step to eliminate it.Andy's Website : https://thewholepiesystem.comApple Podcast Timestamps(00:00) - Introduction(01:38) - Welcoming Andy Clark and the Whole Pie System(03:13) - Who is Andy Clark?(05:42) - The Three Pillars: Profit, Impact, and Enjoyment(08:13) - Common Blind Spots for Business Owners(11:51) - From Transactional to Tremendous: The Power of Impact(18:25) - Moneyball for Business: Finding Your Key Metrics(22:28) - Leading vs. Lagging Indicators for Your Business(29:28) - What to Expect from the "Getting the Whole Pie" Book(40:39) - Actionable Takeaway 1: The Whole Pie Health Check(42:02) - Actionable Takeaway 2: The Stop Doing List(45:29) - Actionable Takeaway 3: Eliminate a Frustration(49:02) - Where to Find Andy Clark(49:55) - Outro----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business BlueprintIt's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!

Passage(s): Ecclesiastes 9:1-10 If you want a good life, you need gospel perspective, focus, and joy. Enjoyment begins with God, it is more about contentment than content, and includes labor. 

Ecclesiastes 3:16–22 shifts from confidence in God's ordered seasons to an honest wrestling with injustice and mortality. Solomon observes a world where wrongdoing often prospers and righteousness goes unrewarded, exposing the fragile gap between expectation and reality. Human behavior can slip into something beastlike when power overrides compassion, and the deepest wounds often come from those closest. This tension crescendos in the question of death itself—whether life ends in silence or if something of the human soul endures beyond the grave. From there, the sermon explores competing views of what comes next, showing how beliefs about eternity shape how people live now. While some perspectives lead to despair or detached living, biblical hope anchors itself in God's justice and the promise of resurrection. Solomon models a response of preaching truth to his own heart: though doubt is real, God will ultimately make things right. Through Christ, the promise of resurrection and final judgment transforms fear into courage, freeing people from bitterness and grounding them in hope, culminating in remembrance of that redemption through communion.

What does it really cost to become great, and are you willing to pay the price? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh welcomes back NHL legend Chris Pronger for a candid conversation on the mindset, discipline, and adversity behind elite performance. From growing up in small-town Canada to becoming a Stanley Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, Chris shares the unfiltered truth about what it takes to rise to the top and stay there. At the center of the conversation is his new book, “Earned: The True Cost of Greatness from One of Hockey's Fiercest Competitors,” a powerful blend of memoir, leadership playbook, and hard-earned life lessons. Chris opens up about early career struggles, battling inconsistency, and the turning point that came when he developed mental standards and took full ownership of his performance. He also dives into the importance of resilience, embracing failure, and why adversity is not something to avoid, but a gift to lean into. Beyond the ice, Chris reflects on how family reshaped his perspective, helping him find balance, stay grounded, and ultimately perform at a higher level. In this episode, Darius and Chris will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Greatness (00:53) The Journey of Writing a Book (02:40) Chris Pronger's Hockey Origin Story (05:27) Overcoming Early Struggles in the NHL (07:57) The Importance of Standards and Mindset (10:58) Building Confidence and Consistency (13:47) The Transformation of Chris Pronger (16:22) The Enforcer Mentality in Hockey (19:59) The Short Fuse Advantage (21:45) Betting on Yourself: Chris Pronger's Journey (24:51) The Balance of Hard Work and Enjoyment (29:17) The Joy and Business of Hockey (31:57) Family's Role in Career Success (34:04) Life After Hockey: Broadcasting and Speaking (38:14) The Evolution of the Game Chris Pronger is a Stanley Cup Champion, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and one of the NHL's Top 100 Players of All Time.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh sits down with Andy Clark — bestselling author, business strategist, and creator of The Whole PIE System™, a framework that helps small-business owners build companies that are more profitable, more impactful, and actually enjoyable to run.Josh and Andy go beyond the “business framework” and dig into the man behind it: the tradeoffs, breakdowns, and convictions that led Andy to redesign his life and work around profit, impact, and enjoyment instead of endless hustle. They explore the $500K–$5M bottleneck, the hidden costs of firefighting, and why enjoyment is a serious metric for leaders who want a business that serves their life, not the other way around.You'll hear candid stories about fear, clarity, and calling; how structure creates freedom for both owners and their families; and what legacy Andy wants to leave as a husband, father, and guide to small-business leaders.

What if your inability to relax, enjoy life, or have fun… isn't just a personality trait?What if it's actually affecting your body?In this episode, we're talking about the biology of happiness and why joy, laughter, and enjoyment are not optional extras in the Christian life… they are part of how God designed your body to function.Because here's what's true: When you live in a constant state of stress, pressure, overthinking, and striving, your body keeps score. And over time, it starts to show up as anxiety, poor sleep, tension, burnout, and even physical symptoms.But the opposite is also true. Joy heals. Rest restores. Enjoyment regulates.In this episode, I'm breaking down:What happens in your brain and body when you experience joy, laughter, and pleasureWhy chronic stress and “always being on” is dysregulating your systemThe difference between numbing out (scrolling, overworking, distracting) and true enjoymentHow doing simple, enjoyable things can actually begin to heal your mind, body, and soulWhy some of you don't need more insight, more processing, or more overthinking… you need to actually do something differentWe also talk about this honestly: Yes, counseling and coaching can be incredibly helpful. But for some of you, what's keeping you stuck isn't a lack of insight… it's a lack of joyful living.You may need to spend a season prioritizing play, rest, and enjoyment—and see what that does in your body.This is an invitation to stop overcomplicating things…and start receiving what God has already given.Because taking care of your health might look a lot more like going outside, laughing, resting, and enjoying your life than you think.

“I want everyone I coach to run super fast, but when I really think about their races, I'm thinking more about what I want them to experience when they're racing. I feel like that's still got to be the same for me too. When I have those experiences that are good and I know what running can be, the times and places take care of themselves.”CJ Albertson is back on the show. Regular listeners know that he's always one of the most fascinating, unconventional, and honest voices in American marathoning.We last had him on the podcast in 2024. He's a 2:08 marathoner, a World Championships team member last year, always captivated us because he does things his own way – whether that's leading major marathons from the gun, stacking up race after race, or embracing a style of training that looks somewhat different from almost anyone else at his level.Right now, what's most interesting about him is trying to understand what's happening under the surface.Because coming into this Boston Marathon build, CJ has been dealing with something he's spent years trying to figure out: a physiological disconnect where his body just isn't responding the way it should. He believes it's chronically low and inverted cortisol levels so his energy systems aren't firing properly. Right now, he's been balancing the reality of trying to train and race at a world-class level while feeling like your body is operating at half capacity.By his own admission, his workouts often look average compared to those of other elite runners. But when it comes time to race 26.2 miles, he finds a way to compete and extract the absolute most out of whatever fitness he has on the day.In this conversation, we go deep into that — what it feels like when your body won't respond, how he's working with Brooks to better understand his physiology, and why he's choosing not to force things as he looks toward the long game of 2028.We also talk Boston and what six appearances on the course have taught him, how he's adjusting his approach this year, and why success might have less to do with the clock and more to do with actually enjoying the race again.This is the first in a series of interviews that we're doing with Brooks marathoners in the leadup to the Boston Marathon. Stay tuned as we announce our schedule of events with Brooks out of the Hyperion House. We'll have a shakeout run on Saturday morning at 8 a.m., a live chat with Jess McClain and more.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: CJ Albertson | @cjalbertson Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSWAHOO: With the Wahoo KICKR RUN, you can simulate the exact Boston or London Marathon course right in your own home.

The message opens with a call to daily prayer leading into Easter, connecting humble, united prayer with God's promise to bring healing. A story of a man leaving a high-paying but soul-draining job highlights a common struggle: many feel stuck in work that empties them. Ecclesiastes reminds us that work is both a gift and a burden, often marked by stress, dissatisfaction, and the fleeting nature of achievement. Yet there's a better way. When seen as a gift from God, work can carry meaning and even joy. Jesus' call in Gospel of Mark 8 reframes life—deny self, take up the cross, and follow Him—so work shapes character rather than identity. The takeaway: pursue excellence under God, honor rest, and let both hardship and effort form a life centered on Christ instead of endless striving.

Life isn't about perfect programming or elite-level training. It's about building a sustainable approach that allows you to improve, stay consistent, and actually enjoy the process. We also highlight the role of fun, challenge, and camaraderie—because for most people, that's the missing piece. Training doesn't have to feel like a chore. When done right, it becomes something you look forward to. If you've been thinking about signing up for an event, or just want to train in a way that builds both strength and endurance without sacrificing your lifestyle, this episode will give you the perspective you need. Because the goal isn't just to finish the race— it's to build a lifestyle you can sustain long after it's over.

There are plenty of opinions, both for and against the Pittsburgh Steelers, that go along with the majority. Sometimes it's good to pose a counter argument for ones that could be taking it too much to the extreme. Join Dave Schofield as he offers some unpopular opinions about the Pittsburgh Steelers that go against the general narrative. This week Dave looks at the problem of looking so much at the NFL draft that the actual football played on the field is secondary.

Kim Costa, a top 5% Realtor with Atlanta Fine Homes & Sotheby's International Realty and creator of the Wheel House Method, shares how to use a Wheel-of-Life approach to decide whether to stay, go, or renovate in retirement. You'll hear why “home” is more than square footage, how life changes create a “void” your current space may no longer fill, and how to make choices that support enjoyment and personal growth in your next chapter.What we coverWhy retirement is a “third life,” not an endingThe Wheelhouse Method: using eight life areas to clarify what's working and what isn'tHow life changes (empty nest, health shifts, career ending, family moving) can make a once-perfect home stop fittingDownsizing options: lock-and-leave living, reducing maintenance, and freeing up equityPractical ways to stay put: “shut down” unused floors, adjust thermostats, and reduce cleaning/expensesRepurposing rooms for who you are now (hobbies, writing, yoga, podcasting)The most neglected area on the wheel: spirituality (connection to nature, grounding, sunlight)Avoiding “should” decisions (e.g., moving somewhere because it's what people do)Try-it-first strategies: house-sitting, seasonal stays, and inviting family to test a destination homeBiggest regret drivers: moving too fast, not thinking it through, and market pressureKey takeawaysYour home should match your current life stage. What worked at 25 may not work at 60.Fix the pain point—but don't create a new problem. Consider health care access, finances, and connection before you leap.Enjoyment is allowed. Retirement is a season to reclaim what you loved—and design your space to support it.Small changes count.

Welcome back! Instead of waiting to feel good after we manifest, what if feeling good is what opens the door to everything else? Because here's the truth that many of us forget: To feel good is to feel God. When you feel joy, gratitude, awe, presence, delight — you're actually experiencing source energy moving through you. And yet so many of us delay feeling good. We tell ourselves: “I'll relax when I make the money.” “I'll enjoy life when things calm down.” “I'll feel happy when I meet the partner.” But what if the order is actually reversed? What if feeling good is what opens the door to everything else?   MENTIONED

BREAKING STRONGHOLDS | Sexual Enjoyment | Dr. Eric Mason | Sunday, March 1st, 2026
