E223: Transition Rule #4 – Past Success ≠ Future Success Why do we say, "Past success does not equal future success?" This episode is for those transitioning JMOs who have experienced past success in the military and are working towards business leadership careers. Also, it is for those who have tasted success in the military and who want to avoid missteps in the transition. I teamed up with Tim Kirchner, and together we cover the following topics: Ego vs. Authentic-Self The ways past success can create a sense of comfort, control, and security. How it can make us feel like we've "arrived". How it can cloud our judgment and decision-making skills. Different ways we naturally tend to lose focus and get caught up in urgent and daily tasks, and how those things can get in the way of our goals. I share my experience and how I struggled with an unhealthy belief of "being owed" something in my next chapter. Being clear about your desired result and the value of seeking guidance and adopting a growth mindset, regardless of experience level. Past success is a very strong indicator of future potential. Encouragement on not losing focus, making the transition a priority, and how to stay a student in the transition. That's why Transition Rule #4 is: Past Success ≠ Future Success—not unless you change how you think and prepare. What Does “Past Success Does Not Equal Future Success” Mean? In the military, many leaders have led teams, made critical decisions, and delivered strong results. Success often followed a clear structure and defined roles. However, the business world operates differently. Past achievements don't automatically lead to future success in a new environment. There are two challenges that frequently show up during the transition: 1. EgoSome assume their accomplishments will speak for themselves. Yet, most hiring managers don't fully understand military roles. It becomes important to connect the dots and clearly show how experience applies. 2. Lack of FocusTransition preparation often gets delayed. Busy schedules take over, and planning gets pushed aside until it's nearly too late. Where Do These Challenges Appear Most Often? In Interviews:Even high-performing JMOs have received feedback such as, “Didn't show enough business understanding.” In these cases, the leadership skills were there—but the candidate hadn't prepared in the way business leaders expected. During Preparation:Some officers in our Development & Preparation Program (DPP) initially struggled to stay on track. On the other hand, those who began early and followed a clear plan arrived prepared—and it showed in their interviews. Why This Rule Matters Success in one setting doesn't guarantee success in another. Military leadership typically involves giving orders and following a chain of command. In contrast, business leadership calls for influence, adaptability, and quick decision-making. To thrive, adapting to new expectations is essential. The Right Mindset Stay Focused:Clear career goals help guide daily decisions. Every step forward should move closer to that goal. Stay Hungry and Humble:A learning mindset is critical. Seeking advice from those who understand both military and business environments can make a big difference. Staying hungry to grow and humble enough to learn creates long-term success. What to Do Next Start early.Don't wait to begin preparing. A strong plan—beyond just a resume—builds clarity and confidence. The earlier the process begins, the better the outcome. Simply put, early action leads to better results. The Big Takeaway Military experience builds a strong foundation, but it's only the beginning. Growth in business comes to those who remain coachable, curious, and committed to learning. That mindset earns the next success. Let's Take the Next Step Together If you realize past success does not equal future success,

In this triple-feature episode of Horror Hill, acclaimed author Jesse Pullins invites you to take the scenic route through a landscape where reality frays at the edges, and something ancient waits just beyond the next bend. Whether it's a lonely drive through the dark woods, a nostalgic joyride that veers into nightmare, or a house visit that turns out to be anything but routine, each tale leads further from the familiar—and closer to something terrifying. So buckle up, keep your eyes on the road, and whatever you do... don't stop. "Watch for Deer" by Jesse Pullins – Fresh off his first shift at a new job, a young man makes the long drive home through a remote wooded backroad. But when a sudden encounter on the dark highway leaves him shaken, he begins to suspect that not everything in the forest is as it seems. With the night growing colder and stranger by the minute, he'll have to confront something far older—and more deliberate—than any wild animal. A haunting meditation on guilt, nature, and unseen forces, this story will change the way you see the roadside forever. "Neon Nightmare" by Jesse Pullins – Warren and his friend Rodger are riding high—literally—as they cruise the desert in an '85 Corvette, amped on designer drugs and 1980s nostalgia. But their euphoric road trip begins to fracture when something starts following them: a shadow that speaks in whispers and leaves black stains in its wake. What begins as a psychedelic joyride soon becomes a violent sprint through a dreamscape where nothing is what it seems. Equal parts surreal and savage, this is a high-octane tale of escape, addiction, and the horrors that hitch a ride in our minds. "My Last House Blessing" by Jesse Pullins – Father Cain has made a living pretending to cleanse haunted homes—his robes, rosary, and “holy water” all just part of the act. But when he takes a new gig in a remote Victorian house, he finds himself facing more than just creaky floors and nervous homeowners. What was supposed to be a simple grift turns into a descent into something primal, ritualistic, and deeply wrong. A layered tale of deception and consequence, this story peels back the curtain on the horrors that can't be faked.

Navigating the complex landscape of spiritual warfare requires wisdom, discernment, and a solid foundation in Christ. Every believer faces it, but few know how to recognize when something is a spiritual attack versus life's natural hardships or God's refining work.We unpack the critical differences between spiritual warfare and other forms of struggle. Spiritual warfare often reveals itself through repetitive cycles of things going wrong, sudden intense discouragement, disruptions before ministry opportunities, or opposition that feels disproportionate to the situation. Yet not everything difficult is an attack—sometimes God allows hardship to deepen our faith, build character, or display His glory through our faithfulness, as seen in Job's story.Whether facing spiritual warfare, life's hardships, or God's refining process, our response remains consistent: sit in your identity, walk in obedience, and stand in truth. We're praying for you to have the discernment to recognize what you're facing and the peace to respond with confidence in Christ's victory.

In this fiery and unfiltered third episode of The Shipwreck Show, host Shipwreck bounces from sourdough starters and scandalous naming polls to a scathing takedown of Rep. Nancy Mace's congressional spectacle. She questions the timing, motives, and political theater behind Mace's voyeurism crusade, unpacking the accusations, defamation lawsuits, and possible gubernatorial ambitions beneath it all. From there, Shipwreck dives into Biden's cancer diagnosis, government overreach, and the bloat of “big beautiful bills” in Congress, advocating for direct democracy and single-issue legislation. She doesn't hold back on James Comey's cryptic “86 47” Instagram post, accusing him of a staged PR stunt to sell books, and breaks down Bongino and Kash Patel's awkward Epstein commentary with sharp skepticism. The show wraps with a ghostly detour into Annabelle the haunted doll, a haunted plantation fire, and Shipwreck's own paranormal sensitivities. Equal parts political commentary, comedy roast, and spiritual side quest, this episode blends Midwestern charm with unapologetic truth bombs.

In Episode 41 of WWG1WGA, Brad Zerbo walks through one of the most explosive moments of Trump's post-presidency era: the Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Brad breaks down Trump's strategic takedown, where the former president plays graphic video evidence of anti-white rhetoric, land seizures, and farm murders in South Africa, forcing Ramaphosa to respond in real time. From Trump's use of receipts and symbolism to Ramaphosa's squirming attempts at deflection, this episode captures the moment the world could no longer ignore the genocide allegations long dismissed by mainstream media. Brad explores the legacy media's attempt to distract, Trump's obliteration of NBC's gaslighting reporter, and the uncomfortable truths the American public, and global leaders, were forced to confront. He also touches on illegal immigration, labor exploitation, and the hypocrisy of leftist refugee narratives. To lighten the mood, the episode wraps with a powerful montage of Trump's untold acts of generosity, revealing a personal side the media never shows, from paying off mortgages to saving lives with small, quiet kindnesses. Equal parts brutal, moving, and revelatory, this episode is one for the history books.

The world is far more peculiar than most of us dare to admit. Somewhere between a demolition derby and a wrestling ring, between the crackle of VHS tapes and the shriek of late-night public access, lies a man who has turned mayhem into meaning. On today's episode, we welcome the unparalleled and unfiltered Mad Man Pondo, a professional wrestler and author whose life has been a whirlwind of body slams, topless TV hosts, and late-night green room oddities. With a voice still rough from last night's match, he guides us into a tale of chaos, tenacity, and triumph.Mad Man Pondo—real name Kevin Canady—is not merely a character in the ring. He is a living mosaic of outrageous stories and unshakable spirit.Raised in a reserved household, he found himself drawn to the fever-pitched passion of pro wrestling his grandparents once yelled at on their living room TV. That early spark lit a fire, and he never let it go out. As he says in this episode, “My mom still has the paper I filled out in grade school that said I wanted to be a professional wrestler.” That dream, written in crayon, would become a 30-year odyssey through blood, barbed wire, and blinding spotlights.The journey to the ring was not paved with ease. Pondo describes the brutal, often humiliating, early days of wrestling school—the beatings, the busted lips, the sheer will required to prove he belonged. He tells of how many walked away, unwilling to endure it, while he pressed on. That kind of devotion would become his defining trait. When the legendary Abdullah the Butcher told him he had the talent to wrestle in Japan, Pondo drove through the night, edited his best matches on two old VCRs, and mailed the tape by sunrise. The result? Forty-three trips to the Land of the Rising Sun.But Pondo's life wasn't confined to the ring. Ever curious, ever mischievous, he created “Skull Talk,” a public access show featuring wrestling commentary and, yes, topless women sitting on his lap.Equal parts performance art and rebellion, the show sandwiched between two church broadcasts caused outrage and fandom in equal measure. “One preacher would send me scripture every week,” he laughs. “But I knew he watched every episode.” This was Pondo in his purest form—pushing boundaries, dancing at the edge of decency, and always keeping his audience on their toes.What's perhaps most impressive is his ability to weave these escapades into something strangely noble. Whether talking about riding shotgun in a demolition derby car painted with horror icons or booking outrageous guests for the Jerry Springer Show, there's a heart beneath the madness. His creation of “Girl Fight,” an all-women's wrestling promotion, is a testament to his desire to give others a platform, to share the stage, to pass the torch. He's not just fighting for himself anymore—he's built a ring where others can rise too.And then there's the book, Memoirs of a Mad Man, a wild ride through his memories, filled with stories that make you laugh, cringe, and occasionally tear up. One story he held secret for decades—a deeply personal moment with wrestling legend Junkyard Dog—was finally shared in its pages. “I thought, you know what, let's put this in there,” he says. “It was time.” In telling that story, and many others, he transformed scars into stories and chaos into legacy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

In this thoughtful and wide-ranging episode of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White opens with a tribute to his late friend Dean Fowler, a 90-year-old Georgia native and Emory alum whose life epitomized American grit and grace. J.B. reflects on legacy, loss, and the power of connection while previewing a deeper tribute to come. From there, he pivots into a no-holds-barred monologue on de-weaponizing language and reclaiming American cultural values, using 1992's “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue to underscore his point about manipulated division and stunted discourse. J.B. also explores the implications of Trump's recent Middle East tour, praising the former president's alignment with leaders like MBS and BB Netanyahu while analyzing the deeper symbolism behind America's strategic regional resets. He finishes with a forward-looking analysis of Robert Scoble's predictions for the AI-powered decade ahead, touching on brain-computer interfaces, autonomous tech, and America's unassailable lead in innovation. Equal parts personal, political, and philosophical, this episode weaves memory, cultural critique, and geopolitical forecasting into a powerful narrative of American restoration.

*The music in this video is copyrighted and all rights reserved to the respective copyright holders* In a wildly entertaining and occasionally profound Episode 33 of Y Chromes, CannCon, Alpha Warrior, J.B. White, and Cam Cooksey blend frat-house banter with philosophical depth. From smack talk about yoga pants and false advertising to a hilarious (and traumatizing) deep-dive into viral shock videos like Two Girls One Cup, the crew doesn't shy away from the absurd. But between the laughs, things get heavy as they tackle simulation theory, AI-run governments, and humanity's limited understanding of God. Cam drops a killer surf-and-turf segment in “Smokin' with My Chromies,” featuring shrimp and steak skewers with smoked pineapple, while the crew reflects on friendship, sacrifice, and the art of wingmanship. Throw in some military humor, a debate about emotional differences between men and women, and a mind-bending rabbit hole into consciousness and the nature of creation, and you've got peak Y Chromes. Equal parts locker room, late-night dorm convo, and spiritual quest, this episode proves that bro talk can go way deeper than you think.

The crew is back from the 2025 St. George 70.3 North American Championship — and they've got stories. In this episode, Lisa Becharas, Jackson Laundry, Marc Dubrick and Garrick Loewen unpack a wild weekend of racing under the desert sun. From Lisa's breakout swim (and bike leg haunted by a rogue shoelace) to Jackson grinding out a top-10 after battling injury, and Marc Dubrick's solo swim effort that left him stranded between packs, it's a raw and real look inside the race. They go deep on course confusion, the brutal coverage cutaways (sorry Colin), heat survival hacks, and what it's like to get passed—and cheer—for your rivals. Plus: bone broth, Garrick's bike fit, T100 race updates, and Lisa's dog's questionable gut health. Equal parts analysis and chaos, this is the episode that proves triathlon is never just about swim, bike, run.   If you want to go above and beyond consider supporting us over on Patreon by clicking here!   Follow us on Instagram at @realtrisquad for updates on new episodes.    Individual Instagram handles: Garrick Loewen - @loeweng Nicholas Chase - @race_chase Jackson Laundry - @jacksonlaundrytri Lisa Becharas - @lisabecharas

What is the value of a dollar? In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans and Brian explore the concept that not all dollars are created equal. They discuss how the value of your money changes dramatically depending on where it's stored, how it's invested, and what phase of life you're in.From emergency funds to retirement planning, they challenge conventional financial wisdom and explain why simply chasing higher returns isn't always the best strategy. The discussion dives into how liquidity, accessibility, and guarantees can often be more valuable than pure growth potential.Through real-world examples and case studies, this episode offers a fresh perspective on financial planning that goes beyond account balances to consider the true value and utility of every dollar in your personal economy.Not All Dollars Are Created Equal: When a dollar bill is held in your pocket, it's the same as any other. But once that money is put into motion - invested, saved, or spent - its true value changes based on accessibility, guarantees, liquidity, and many other factors that are often overlooked in conventional financial planning.The Dangers of Conventional Financial Wisdom: The common advice that focuses solely on account balances and growth rates ignores or minimizes crucial factors like accessibility, guarantees, and tax implications. This blanket financial advice can lead people to make devastating financial decisions without considering their individual circumstances.The Power of Liquidity in Uncertain Times: A compelling case study reveals how a wealthy client struggled to secure a mortgage despite having millions in collateral, until they could provide $600,000 in liquid cash deposits. This real-world example demonstrates how cash value life insurance policies can provide guaranteed access to capital when traditional financing becomes restricted.Planning for an Unpredictable Future: Creating financial plans that can withstand unexpected events is more important than relying on historical market performance. With major disruptors like AI on the horizon and economic uncertainty, liquidity and guaranteed access to capital will be increasingly valuable.Estate Planning Considerations: The often-overlooked estate phase of financial planning highlights how different assets pass to heirs and why life insurance death benefits offer significant advantages in terms of tax treatment, probate avoidance, and guaranteed value.▶️Chapters:00:00 - Understanding Dollar Value01:00 - Brian's Office Setup & Hans's Finger Injury 03:00 - The Value of a Dollar - Not All Equal05:00 - Three Things You Can Do With Money 08:00 - Bad Financial Planning & Blanket Advice 13:00 - Report Card for Your Dollars 15:00 - Planning for the Future vs. Past Performance21:00 - AI as a Major Economic Disruptor 26:00 - Case Study: Mortgage Access & Liquidity 34:00 - Benefits of Cash Value Life Insurance 37:00 -Waiver of Premium Rider Benefits 39:00 - Estate Planning & Death Benefits 44:00 - Final Thoughts: Grading Your Dollar's Performance⁠Visit https://remnantfinance.com for more informationFOLLOW REMNANT FINANCEYoutube: @RemnantFinance (https://www.youtube.com/@RemnantFinance)Facebook: @remnantfinance (https://www.facebook.com/profile?id=61560694316588)Twitter: @remnantfinance (https://x.com/remnantfinance)TikTok: @RemnantFinance Don't forget to hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE

"Who am I when everything changes?" It's a question we rarely consider until we're faced with a significant life transition—a graduation, an empty nest, a career shift, a health diagnosis, or a relationship ending. These moments shake not just our circumstances, but often our very sense of identity.The conversation centers on Romans 8:15-17, which reminds us we are adopted children of God—a core identity that doesn't shift with changing circumstances. While this truth seems simple intellectually, living from this reality during transitions proves challenging. The hosts emphasize developing deep spiritual roots during stable seasons so we're prepared when inevitable storms arrive.Whether you're navigating a happy transition like becoming a parent or empty-nester, or facing an unexpected challenge like job loss or health concerns, this episode offers practical wisdom for maintaining your core identity through life's inevitable changes. As Elizabeth and Kimberly remind us, we are not defined by what happens to us—we are defined by whose we are.

What's the one thing that can produce lasting fruit in our parish ministries?If we want to see real growth in areas like attendance, vocations, and community life, we must focus on making and maturing disciples.

Have you ever felt like God was silent in your weariest moments? That disconnect between knowing He promises strength and feeling completely depleted? You're not alone in that tension.The familiar words of Isaiah 40:29-31 about soaring like eagles take on profound meaning when we realize they were first spoken to people in captivity for decades. How could they possibly relate to renewed strength while living in exile? This paradox mirrors our own spiritual journeys when God seems distant precisely when we need Him most.We dive deep into what true spiritual strengthening looks like. This divine transaction happens beneath the surface, invisible to the eye but transformational to the soul. Want to explore this subject further? Our new devotional "Strength to Equal Your Days" offers daily encouragement for living steady in an unsteady world.

In this wild ride of an episode, a full cast of Badlands Media regulars swaps politics for poolside confessions as they recount tales from their recent GART meetup, starting with Ghost's noble sacrifice in an Olympic-sized (probably not) hot tub bust. With Brian making his OnlyLands debut and the gang cracking jokes about denied bar entry, suspicious hotel designs, and Putin's questionable hockey prowess, the vibes are equal parts chaos and comedy. But it's not all hot tub hijinks and hallway gossip; the crew eventually dives deep into geopolitics, speculating on Trump's rumored peace deal tour, Carney's globalist credentials, and the constitutional crisis brewing over the unconfirmed U.S. Attorney for D.C. Expect sharp takes on Iran, Canada's shadowy influence, and how the judiciary could end up in Trump's crosshairs. Equal parts party recap and political breakdown, this episode captures the off-script brilliance that only Badlands can deliver.

Gillespo and the old-bodgey lifter of heavy things opened the protein door and had some fun exploring the science, the stories, the misinformation, the assumptions and the challenges for people eating certain types of diets. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Okay friends — this episode is so special. We sat down with our new friend Daniel McLeod for a convo that left us honestly fired up and so encouraged. Daniel lives in Nashville and leads an incredible ministry called Jesus Mission that's all about reaching the next generation — and y'all, the stories he shares are WILD. We're talking revival in high schools, miracles on the streets of Broadway, and what it really means to live with radical, sold-out obedience to Jesus. We talk about the cost of following Jesus, how scary obedience can be (and how to do it anyway), and the better-than-you-could-imagine life that comes on the other side of surrender. Whether you're in full-time ministry, raising babies, working a 9-to-5, or just trying to figure it all out — this episode will remind you that your “yes” to God matters more than you think. Let's get after it! Topics Discussed What Is Jesus Mission? From High School Revival to Friday Nights on Broadway The Wild Story Behind Wilco United and 1,600 High Schoolers Worshiping Becoming the Peer Pressure: A Radical High School Faith Story Building Ministry That Meets Real Needs When Radical Obedience Doesn't Equal a Paycheck What It Costs to Live Fully for Jesus The Sweetness on the Other Side of Surrender Miracle on Broadway: Healed of Terminal Cancer That One Time Daniel Preached to a Whole Fraternity When Obedience Feels Awkward and Success Looks Different First Steps: How to Do It Scared and Say Yes Anyway Radical Motherhood, Everyday Yeses & What's Next for Fireplace Thanks To Our Sponsors!

Podcast Notes Episode 463 Your High Performance Patterns Are What Drive Your Best Work Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: May 1, 2025 In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries Podcast, Brian Miller and Chad Hall revisit the concept of High Performance Patterns (HPP)—a foundational tool in CAM's coaching philosophy. Originally developed by Dr. Jerry Fletcher, HPPs help individuals identify personal conditions that lead to better-than-expected results. Brian and Chad reflect on their own patterns, explore the importance of partnership, time-bound projects, and how performance is shaped by context. They also introduce CAM's updated High Performance Patterns eCourse, now available at a discounted rate for May 2025.   Key Highlights: Origin of High Performance Patterns Dr. Jerry Fletcher's research at Harvard shifted the focus from imitating top performers to identifying unique, individual patterns that consistently lead to high achievement. Defining High Performance High performance is defined by results that exceed your own expectations—not necessarily what others think or external benchmarks. Brian's Key Pattern: Partnership Brian performs at a high level when working with an equal partner. He shares how recognizing this has transformed how he approaches opportunities and collaboration. Chad's Key Pattern: Time-Bound Projects Chad thrives on projects with clear time limits. Long-term maintenance roles tend to drain his performance, while defined deadlines enhance focus and execution. Using and Refining Your Pattern Over Time High Performance Patterns aren't static. Through reflection and story-based assessment, individuals can refine and apply their patterns more intentionally over time. Takeaways: Everyone has a unique pattern for peak performance.  Identifying yours can help you replicate success more intentionally. Look to your own stories HPP discovery is narrative-based—collect stories where you exceeded expectations to find common threads. Partnership may be critical—but only the right kind. Equal investment and mutual respect are essential for collaborative patterns to work. Not all work suits all patterns. Understand the kind of environments (e.g. time-bound, collaborative, solo) that enhance or diminish your performance. Your pattern evolves. The more you reflect and apply what you learn, the more precise and useful your HPP becomes.   High Performance Patterns eCourse Available for $79 (normally $129) during May 2025 at coachapproachministries.org/hpp    Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!
