Podcasts about failing

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.

Rosamund Pike! What a woman. Famed for her portrayals of razor-sharp, morally complex and deliciously unpredictable characters, she brings that same intriguing duality to this conversation. Thoughtful and quietly rebellious, she reflects on a career that has defied neat narratives from the very beginning. After taking a year out from studying English at University of Oxford to pursue acting, she graduated and stepped straight into the global spotlight as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. From there came a string of unforgettable movies: Pride & Prejudice, Jack Reacher, A Private War and Saltburn. Her chilling performance in Gone Girl earned her an Oscar nomination and she took home a Golden Globe for I Care a Lot. In 2025, she returned to the stage for the first time in 15 years in the National Theatre's production of Inter Alia. In this episode, she talks about her ‘failure' to get married, the realities of raising two sons and her decision not to read a single review of her work for the past 25 years. Plus why she's ‘constantly in battle' with her own fear, her failure to be an action movie hero, her miserable attempt to cook a rabbit and whether or not she's ‘cool'. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:18 No reviews rule 06:57 Early perfectionism and stage craft 07:58 Inter Alia and modern womanhood 10:09 Luminate meditation mask 12:42 Failure to learn Chinese 19:09 Onstage mishaps and acting roles 28:59 What Cool Really Means 29:26 Cool Girl vs Amy 32:21 Failing at Being An Action Star 36:52 Failure to Get Married 45:17 Mothering Two Boys 47:28 Smells and Teen Hygiene 48:44 Rabbit Dinner and Being Enough

Independent Americans host and Iraq War veteran Paul Rieckhoff takes you behind the scenes of his fiery CNN Newsroom clash with former Congressman and fellow Iraq vet Peter Meijer over President Trump's escalating Iran strategy and the deadly strike on an Iranian school that killed scores of children and teachers. In this raw, real-time debrief, Rieckhoff explains why Trump's rush to blame Iran despite independent analysis suggesting U.S. responsibility shreds American credibility, feels like “deja vu all over again” for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, and risks dragging America into another open-ended Middle East war most Americans do not want.​ He breaks down Trump's “all gas, no brakes” approach—from regime-change talk and operations in at least eight countries in a year without real debate or authorization, to juvenile White House war memes that trivialize the very real costs for U.S. troops and civilians across the region—while slamming both parties in Congress, including Democrats like Senator Richard Blumenthal, for failing to enforce the War Powers Act or put real guardrails on the commander in chief. Drawing sharp lessons from Iraq's 20-year quagmire, Rieckhoff warns Iran could be even more dangerous and costly if we don't learn from history—and makes the case that Americans must demand transparency, real debate and actual votes before war, now more than ever. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Eric and Eliot welcome Norman Roule, a non-resident senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a thirty-four-year career veteran of the U.S. intelligence community, where he served in the Directorate of Operations as a division chief and chief of station, and for nearly a decade as the national intelligence manager for Iran in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). They discuss Trump's effort to replicate his Venezuela playbook and the search for an Iranian Delcy Rodríguez, the intricacies of the Iranian succession, and the potential for the regular army (ARTESH) to step in and seize leadership of the country. The conversation also covers the IRGC's hold on the system in Iran, the sources of Iran's misreading of the regional situation and of Donald Trump, the failure of Iran's alliances to come to the rescue, and the nature of Iran as an intelligence target.Eliot's Latest in The Atlantic (Gift Link):https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/trump-iran-war-confusion/686259/?gift=KGDC3VdV8jaCufvP3bRsPq02AwLxoJbONMjAocns7uo&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareShield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

In this episode, we discuss: • Burnout as a trauma response • Moral injury in modern mental health care • The “K-shaped” labor market and therapist stagnation • Moving from overcontrol to agency • Sustainable contribution without collapsing Guest Bio: Shaina Siber, LCSW is the founder of Affirm Mental Health, host of The Affirming Minds Podcast, and author of the forthcoming Routledge book Using ACT and CFT for Burnout Recovery: The Beyond Burnout Blueprint (available for pre-order February 25, 2026).

Episode 300 feels like a good time to zoom out. I started this podcast back in 2014. It was the first podcast on this topic of Cash-Based practice. Since then, I've had a front-row seat to startup clinics, multi-location operators, practice owners who were barely hanging on, and practice owners who were absolutely crushing it. And when you watch enough practices long enough, patterns become impossible to ignore. Some things keep working. Some things quietly stop working. Some new opportunities show up fast. And some threats build slowly until they start crushing the people who weren't paying attention. That's what this episode is about. Not one tactic. Not one trend. A high-level scan of the Cash-Based practice industry in 2026 and what's likely to happen in the near and distant future. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why niche positioning matters more than ever in a crowded Cash-Based market. Why the human element is becoming more valuable as AI-generated marketing spreads. How operational excellence has overtaken marketing as the real differentiator. What is quietly failing in tech, hiring, and leadership. How AI search is changing the way patients find clinics, and what you can do now to get AI to suggest your clinic over others. What parts of healthcare are most vulnerable to AI and robotics, and what will stand the test of time… Listen to find out which side your practice currently sits.

Toni Laites made history last year as the first American to win Love Island, but her journey to the villa was anything but ordinary. Discovered in Las Vegas working as a cabana girl by the show's creative director, Toni was persuaded to fly 6,000 miles to Mallorca. The rest, as they say, is history. But you don't need to be a Love Island superfan to love this episode. Toni is funny, emotionally intelligent and disarmingly honest. She opens up about living with the chronic illness Ulcerative Colitis, her pattern of choosing the wrong men in the past, working through anxious attachment and the hard-won strength it takes to forgive yourself. This is a conversation about resilience, self-awareness and what it really means to back yourself - even when the odds (and the public vote) are against you. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:18 Vegas Sales to Villa Casting 05:36 Saying Yes to Love Island 07:21 Life Inside the Villa 08:33 Votes, Outcasts and Forgiveness 10:57 The Big Three Friendship 14:18 Health Scare and Ulcerative Colitis 28:10 Tourist In London 28:43 Toxic Dating Patterns 32:22 Pressure On Her Relationship 34:57 Fame And Social Media 37:34 Family And Attachment 44:28 Self Criticism And Hate 49:44 Plan For The Future

Bro Andrew Wilson- A sermon preached Wednesday Evening, on March 4, 2026.

You were trained to put yourself last. Not explicitly—nobody handed you a brochure. It happened through culture, through modeling, through what got rewarded in medical school and residency and every clinical environment since. And by the time you opened your own practice, you were running yourself exactly the way the system trained you to: straight into depletion.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  In this solo episode, Tracy Cherpeski names what most providers already feel but rarely say out loud: the conditioning that made you extraordinary in the clinic may also be what's driving your burnout. She breaks down why early-stage burnout looks nearly identical to excellence, what it costs the practice when the leader is operating from last place, and what genuine sustainability actually looks like in a thriving independent practice.  This isn't about working less. It's about leading smarter—treating your capacity as a real variable, building structures that don't require superhuman endurance, and finding the kind of community that actually getsit.  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn

Whether is social drama, family tension, workplace conflict—it's not just emotional or relational, it's spiritual. Scripture reminds us that our real battle isn't against people but against unseen spiritual forces working to distract and divide us (Ephesians 6:12). When life feels heavy or chaotic, pause and ask, “Is this a spiritual battle?” Jesus shows us that victory doesn't come through effort or argument, but through faith, honesty, and prayer. Stay alert, stay humble, and fight the right enemy with the right weapons.Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E. Austin Ave in Hutto, TX. Can't make it in person?

Pressure is an undeniable reality for anyone in sales. High-stakes meetings, critical pitches, and tough negotiations are daily occurrences. While some thrive, others falter.    This week, I'm joined by communication expert, keynote speaker, and bestselling author Dominic Colenso for a conversation on how to excel in high-pressure sales situations. Drawing from his experience as a professional actor and performance coach, Dominic shares why communication often breaks down under pressure, shares practical strategies for staying calm and present, and explains how salespeople can turn pressure into a tool for greater impact.   Outline of This Episode   [0:00] Presence enhances performance [04:11] Learning about being in the moment from Bill Nighy [06:49] Staying grounded using breath and posture [12:32] Engagement tips for virtual Meetings [15:36] Maintaining confidence in presentations [17:50] Authenticity in leadership communication Where Communication Breaks Down   According to Dominic Colenso, one of a salesperson's biggest barriers to great communication under pressure is the tendency to focus too much on themselves—overloading the conversation with product features and personal knowledge. Instead, successful communicators make it about the audience. Failing to address the listener's needs, challenges, and expectations leads to disengagement, especially when seconds count.   How Pressure Affects Performance   Pressure can enhance or distort our performance. The key is being in the moment. Drawing from his acting career, Dominic stresses the importance of grounding yourself and resisting distractions. Real presence enables adaptability and focus, even as adrenaline surges and the stakes rise.   He shares his experience of learning from actor Bill Nighy, who demonstrated how energy could be switched from relaxation to intense focus. It's not the showmanship that matters, but laser-sharp concentration—this is what makes a real difference in critical moments.   What Top Performers Do Differently   When under pressure, top salespeople slow down rather than speed up. The biological urge to accelerate, driven by adrenaline, can cause premature responses and missed cues. But elite performers take their time and resist the temptation to rush. Pausing and breathing provides time to think clearly and gives clients a sense of being truly heard. Control and composure transform stressful encounters into meaningful dialogue.   Creating Calm Without Overcontrol   Confidence is often mistaken for control. Dominic advises focusing not only on what you say but also on how your body feels and behaves under stress. Simple physical grounding—placing both feet evenly on the floor, steadying your breath, avoiding fidgeting—can decrease stress hormones and boost confidence. This physiological reset helps you think more clearly and remain authentically present, even in tough meetings.   Preparation is essential: pattern these habits before walking into high-stakes rooms by practicing in everyday scenarios. Muscle memory built in casual contexts will kick in when it matters most.   The Power of Simplicity   For sales professionals preparing for a big meeting, Dominic recommends one immediate tactic: simplify your message. Think about your audience and distill your communication into a headline. Support this headline with just three core ideas. When conversation feels streamlined and relevant, clients are more likely to lean in than tune out. Overwhelming clients with information risks confusion; clarity inspires engagement.   Virtual Selling Brings New Pressures   Virtual meetings bring different challenges, such as reduced engagement and fewer non-verbal cues. Dominic encourages adopting a "Netflix box set" approach by breaking lengthy pitches into shorter, interactive sessions. Every virtual meeting should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with regular opportunities for dialogue. Ask questions frequently to keep clients involved and gauge comprehension.   Whether delivering a scripted pitch or responding on the fly, authenticity wins. Rehearse aloud, adapt the message to your style, and add personal touches. The more you show up as yourself, the more your audience connects and responds.

80% of all autoimmune diseases occur in women, and no one can explain why. Cancer cells are always present in your body, but it's only when your T cells go into energy deficit that cancer starts overtaking the system. And here's what almost no one is talking about: the mitochondria in your immune cells are the reason MS, chronic fatigue, neurodegeneration, and even cancer progression happen when they happen. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Anurag Singh, MD, PhD immunologist who spent 20 years studying mitochondria and screened 4000 compounds from pomegranates to discover one molecule that changes cellular aging. We break down immunometabolism, the emerging field linking immune health and metabolism, why your T regulatory cells are the CEOs of your immune system, how mitochondrial dysfunction in immune cells triggers autoimmune conditions, and why rejuvenating mitochondria can get your immune system in check to defeat cancer. We also cover NAD+ (and why NMN and NR supplements don't work the way people think), the creatine sweet spot for muscle quality (500mg-1g, not the 5g everyone's taking), why Parkinson's is linked to paraquat, a mitochondrial toxin used in fertilizers and dry cleaning and how AI is fast-tracking the discovery of next-generation molecules for neurodegeneration. This conversation completely shifted how I think about immune health, brain protection, and what's actually driving the diseases we fear most.

Do you find yourself constantly asking, "Why can't I keep up with my house?" or beating yourself up for being "undisciplined"? What if the problem isn't that you're lazy—but that you're depleted? In this eye-opening episode of Clutter-Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and Tenneil Register dive deep into the difference between discipline and capacity—and why understanding this distinction could change everything about how you approach your home and yourself. What You'll Discover in This Episode Inspired by a viral video from Dr. Raquel Martin, Kathi and Tenneil explore why so many cluttery people are incredibly hard on themselves, using destructive language like "I just need to work harder" or "I wish I wasn't such a slob." But what if there's another explanation? The truth is: Discipline needs structure to work, but capacity needs restoration to expand. When your capacity is depleted, no amount of willpower or elaborate systems will help you keep up. Practical Strategies Shared Simple routines that stick: Learn how doing the same things on the same days can transform your week One-minute habits: Discover micro-moves like wiping down the bathroom counter after makeup that build muscle memory Low-decision systems: Create automatic habits that require almost no mental energy Capacity builders: Explore how sleep, movement, nutrition, and right-sized commitments can expand what you're able to accomplish Key Takeaways Instead of asking "What's wrong with me?" start asking "What's wrong with my current capacity?" This shift from self-criticism to curiosity opens the door to real, lasting change. Whether you're struggling with a cluttered kitchen, an overwhelming to-do list, or just feeling perpetually behind, this episode offers compassionate wisdom and practical tools to help you move forward—one small step at a time. Stay tuned for part three, where Kathi and Tenneil will tackle how clutter accidentally creates shame and what we can do to get rid of it.

Susan Pendergrass speaks with Christopher Talgo, editorial director at the Heartland Institute, to discuss his recent piece in The Hill on the state of American public education. They explore why the claim that public schools are underfunded doesn't hold up to scrutiny, how per-pupil spending often exceeds private school tuition while outcomes continue to decline, and where all that money is actually going. They also discuss the growing administrative bloat crowding out classroom resources, the dysfunction baked into teacher tenure and union structures, why school choice may be the only real path to meaningful reform, and how states like Florida and Arizona are already demonstrating what's possible when parents are empowered to choose, and more.

How to Talk to Your Kids About Dating, Boundaries, and Healthy Relationships SEO Description, 2 paragraphs In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peach dive deep into how parents can approach dating, relationships, and boundaries with their children in an intentional, age appropriate, and values driven way. Using a real listener email as the foundation, they unpack what healthy conversations about dating actually look like at different ages, how to avoid projecting personal trauma onto your kids, and why modeling respect, communication, and emotional safety at home matters more than any single rule. This conversation explores parenting through presence, leadership, and clarity rather than fear or control.Listeners can expect an honest discussion around boys versus girls, courtship, peer pressure, media influence, sexual boundaries, and how to build trust so your children feel safe coming to you instead of hiding their experiences.

If you're a leader and you only hear good news, you may have a bigger problem than you think. In this episode of the Deep Leadership podcast, I sit down with Phillip Wilson, CEO of LRI Consulting Services and author of The Leader-Shift Playbook, to talk about one of the most overlooked leadership blind spots: power distance. Why don't employees speak up?Why do teams hide mistakes?Why does bad news travel slowly… or not at all? We unpack the concept of approachability, the hidden cost of wide power distance, and what Phil calls the “hero assumption” — the mindset shift that transforms how leaders see their people. If you want more honest feedback, stronger trust, and a team that tells you the truth before problems explode, this conversation is for you.

Few filmmakers have a style as bold, romantic and unmistakable as Baz Luhrmann. From his breakout debut Strictly Ballroom to the glittering spectacle of The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the fever-dream energy of Elvis, Luhrmann has built a career on transforming familiar stories into cinematic events. In this episode, he takes us inside one of his most iconic creative decisions: the unforgettable fish tank scene in his 1996 adaptation of Romeo + Juliet - and reveals how that moment came to life. We also explore his latest project, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, a return to Elvis Presley through newly uncovered footage from the legendary Las Vegas residency. Beyond the films, Luhrmann reflects on the journey that shaped him. Raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural town in New South Wales, Australia, he grew up surrounded by performance and storytelling: his father ran a quirky petrol station and cinema, while his mother owned a dress shop and taught ballroom dancing. We discuss the setbacks that tested him, his unconventional audition process, his enduring creative partnership with his wife and the viral TikTok moment that sent the internet into a frenzy. I hope you enjoy this candid, wide-ranging conversation with one of modern cinema's great showmen. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:28 Creativity as Self‑Medication 05:52 Why Elvis? 09:22 The Romeo + Juliet Fish Tank Origin Story 11:01 Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen: The Accidental Hit 13:56 Failure #1: Losing Instincts, Depression and Finding the Way Back 26:16 Casting Without Auditions: Baz's Workshop Method 27:58 Creating a Fear-Free Room 28:47 The Big Break That Became a Public Flop 30:56 Rebounding with Strictly Ballroom 32:19 Choosing Collaborators 33:36 Marriage and Deep Trust 35:42 Criticism and Staying Humble (Plus the Viral TikTok Moment) 40:38 Future-Focused Filmmaking & Final Reflections
