Podcasts about failing

In this episode, Jay and Johnna debrief the 2025 Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting. They discuss why Johnna chose to attend alone, the deaths of two high-profile survivors—Jennifer Lyell and Duane Rollins—and the emotional and physical toll survivor advocacy has taken. They reflect on the SBC's failure to follow through on promised reforms, the lack of accountability, and the ongoing harm caused by the institution's refusal to meaningfully address abuse. The episode also explores the role of power, complicity, and silence within evangelical culture, as well as the broader implications for churches and Christian communities across the country.Support the show

In today's episode, we're tackling a common misconception in faith and finance: Does trusting God mean avoiding financial planning? Some believe that preparing for the future shows a lack of faith, while others think trusting God means not worrying about money at all. The truth lies in the balance—between detachment from wealth and responsible stewardship. We'll explore biblical examples, discuss financial responsibility, and break down the difference between surrendering to God's will and failing to plan wisely.

I started to use their litter box. But I think the moral is that no matter what you do, animals are going to get into your garden because of the simple truth: You may be smarter, but they've got more time. -William Alexander on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006BioWilliam Alexander, spent nearly four decades as director of technology at a psychiatric research institute.Having broken into writing with the critically-acclaimed, bestselling memoir The $64 Tomato, Bill wrote Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World. Bill has contributed over a dozen op-eds to the New York Times, where he has opined on such varied issues as Martha Stewart's release from prison, what the honeybee crisis means to the home gardener, the difficulties of being organic, and The Benefits of Failing at French, which achieved the distinction of being the most viewed, e-mailed, tweeted, and Facebook-ed article of the day.InfoWilliam's sitehttps://williamalexander.com/index.phpWilliam's bookThe $64 Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect GardenOn Friday, June 27 Come see The Restaurant Guys LIVE with Chef Andrew Zimmern at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center in New Brunswick, NJ.

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast the team learns how to build a Warhammer character that's equal parts tragic backstory, terrible life choices, and statistically improbable survival! Want to roll dice in a Greek villa, vanquish monsters in the shadow of the Acropolis, or experience horror, myth, and mayhem online or in-person? Book your next legendary session with Dungeon Master Adamantine at www.dungeonmasteradamantine.com or find him at startplaying.games/gm/dmadamantine. You bring the characters—he'll bring the chaos. In this episode, the hosts brave the stormy chaos of Michigan weather and minor audio goblins to dive deep into Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay character creation. From choosing your species to deciding whether your character is motivated by vengeance, coin, or the sweet smell of Middenheim sausage, the gang walks through every gritty, grimdark, and occasionally hilarious step of crafting a Warhammer persona. Whether you're rolling a rat catcher with dreams of knighthood or a noble elf who is definitely not judging the humans, this episode is your roadmap to making a character that lives, breathes, and probably dies violently in the Old World. What We Talked About (Between Coughs and Cackles) Michigan Weather Attacks Again: A brief detour into real-life weather horror before we get into fantasy horror. Species Selection – AKA “So You Want to Be a Goblin?” Humans get all the talents (and none of the respect). Dwarves are magically allergic. Species choice directly affects talents, skills, and your odds of surviving past session one. Attributes and Talents: Why it matters if your character is strong, smart, or just very good at gossip. Random rolls can turn a future hero into a chaotic gremlin with a heart of gold (or just halitosis). Skills: Basic vs. Advanced (and How to Not Die by Failing a Perception Check): Not all skills are created equal, and sometimes “Swim” really matters. Advancing your character's skills is key to surviving rats, cultists, and angry cows. Careers and Equipment: Your career defines your gear, your class skills, and whether you start with a sword or a dead ferret. Equipment makes a big difference—especially when one character has armor and another has… hope. Backstory, Motivation, and Ambition: Motivation adds depth. Like onions. Or ogres. Ambitions can be personal, professional, or deeply petty. XP bonuses reward you for actually having character goals, so “revenge on Barry the Baker” might just be worth it. Names, Physical Traits, and Psychological Flavor: A name can reveal your culture… or just make the DM sigh. Physical and psychological quirks bring your character to life—or at least make them memorable when they die. Party Dynamics and Relationships: What happens when your elf hates your dwarf and your priest keeps judging everyone? Exploring how party tensions, bromances, and grudges make the game world richer (and weirder). The Final Ingredient: Humor and Collaboration: Why character creation should be as fun as the game itself. You don't build a hero alone—you do it with friends, dice, and questionable life choices. Key Takeaways Species isn't just fluff—it shapes your whole character experience. Skills are life. Pick wisely, and don't forget “Perception” exists. Talents can turn a bland character into a legendary weirdo. Backstory + motivation = juicy roleplay and extra XP. Random rolls aren't a curse—they're an opportunity to improvise hilariously. Psychological traits help characters feel real (and often unstable). Your party is your story's emotional core—and chaotic powder keg. Character creation is where the game really begins. Embrace the madness. Be strategic. Be creative. Be weird. It's Warhammer, after all. Listen if You've Ever Wondered… How to build a character that could actually survive in the Warhammer universe. What to do when you accidentally roll “terrified of the color red.” Why “pet rat” is both an equipment choice and a career path. If being a barber-surgeon really counts as a heroic class.

Money, money, money, money…MO-NEY! The Money with Katie Show host Katie Gatti Tassin here to talk with JVN all about how we can beat capitalism, get ahead, and get informed about the system that we're all operating in - whether we like it or not! Katie's new book Rich Girl Nation is out now.  Money with Katie was founded in 2020 by Katie Gatti Tassin to document everything she learned about personal finance on her journey to financial independence. As a former public relations major in corporate America with a penchant for swiping her Discover card, her obsession about personal finance hit her hard out of left field — and as she watched her net worth grow in tandem with her financial literacy, she realized just how valuable the information was. Sharing it with others became an obsession. She left her full-time job at the end of 2021 to devote all of her energy to building this business, and Money with Katie was acquired by Morning Brew in 2022.  Full Getting Better Video Episodes now available on YouTube.  Not A Phase.  Trans Lifeline Katie Gatti Tassin is on Instagram @moneywithkatie and @katiegattitassin  Follow us on Instagram @gettingbetterwithjvn Jonathan on Instagram @jvn Senior Producer, Chris McClure Producer, Editor & Engineer is Nathanael McClure Production support from Julie Carrillo, Anne Currie, and Chad Hall Our theme music is also composed by Nathanael McClure.

Rapping phenomenon and Tottenham Hotspur superfan AJ Tracey joins us this week to talk about supporting his mum through her cancer journey, the pressures of staying an independent artist and what football has taught him about failure. AJ Tracey has been rapping since the age of four. He dropped out of his Criminology degree at London Metropolitan University and started uploading tracks to SoundCloud in 2011, achieving five Platinum singles and over two billion Spotify plays as an independent artist. His first studio album debuted at number three in the UK Albums chart and his breakthrough hit, Ladbroke Grove, became the unofficial summer anthem of 2019. Now, after a three-year hiatus, marked by leaked songs and pandemic delays, Tracey has just released his third album, Don't Die Before You're Dead. It's his most vulnerable and personal work yet and as well as being a love letter to the UK, the album fuses grime, garage, and R&B with themes of trauma, mental health, faith and love.

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like failure means you're broken? You messed up. You launched something and it flopped. Maybe you put your heart on the line and it didn't go your way. That sting? It's real. No quote on Instagram is going to make it magically go away. But here's the truth: Failure isn't the opposite of progress. It's part of it. We live in a world that either glamorizes failure like it's some kind of badge of honor—or tells us to avoid it like the plague. But neither story is complete. Failure hurts—especially when you care. That's what makes it meaningful. A bad pitch, a failed launch, a relationship gone sideways—if you tried, if you truly cared, then the pain you're feeling is proof that you're alive and in the game. It's data. It's a signal. It's the exact thing that helps you grow. So what's the play? Try hard. Ship often. Then do it again. Don't make garbage just to say you did something. Don't fake effort to avoid real disappointment. Give it what you've got—then put it out there before it's perfect. That's the sweet spot. Not hiding behind polished perfection. Not pretending you don't care. But showing up. Again and again. And when it hurts? When you fail? Good. That means you're learning something that matters. Failure isn't your enemy. It's your frenemy. You don't have to love it—but you do need to make peace with it. Until next time, stay bold, and keep shipping.

What does Toyota do instead of the usual leadership tactics? In this insightful podcast episode, we explore how Toyota's legendary approach to systems, leadership, and culture offers game-changing lessons for leaders at any scale, whether you're running a massive enterprise or a fast-growing startup. 1. Relentless Focus At the core of Toyota's philosophy is a relentless focus on effectiveness and efficiency, not through shortcuts, but by maximizing value-creating work and systematically reducing waste. Leaders will appreciate how Toyota improves quality and speed simultaneously, showing that excellence and efficiency are not opposites but partners. 2. Problem-solving A key highlight of the discussion is Toyota's deep-rooted problem-solving culture. Every employee is expected to be a problem-solver, and leadership's main role is to empower and develop people to do just that. For leaders feeling stuck in firefighting mode, this episode reveals how investing in frontline problem-solving creates a smarter, faster, more resilient organization. 3. Strategic Execution The episode also dives into strategic execution systems like Hoshin Kanri and PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) — powerful frameworks that ensure organizations focus on a few critical priorities while staying agile through continuous improvement. If you're struggling with scattered efforts or unclear goals, these methods provide a clear blueprint to tighten focus and accelerate progress. 4. Respect Another profound takeaway is Toyota's unique interpretation of “Respect for People.” It's not just about being kind — it's about genuinely believing every team member has the ability to improve their work and actively creating a culture where they are expected and empowered to do so. 5. Engaging employees Finally, leadership development gets a bold reframe: at Toyota, "a manager without a problem is a problem." Leaders aren't judged by how well they maintain the status quo, but by how deeply they engage with work, remove burdens from their teams, and develop people's capabilities over time. If you're a leader aiming to build a high-performing, adaptive, and resilient organization, this episode isn't optional listening — it's essential. Learn more about Mark Reich over at  You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems.

Torture is generally thought of as a bad things - an unacceptable means to an end. But what if that end is justifiable? In many cases, torture is clearly unethical - for example when used as a means of political suppression, as a fear tactic, or for a forced confession. But what about torture in more ambiguous cases - when the torturer is fairly confident that the person being tortured has key information that could save many lives if it were obtained?

School is back in session for the gang's senior year. Joey is excited to get through this to what's next, and Pacey's just excited to be around her. That only lasts until the end of the first day, when new temporary guidance counselor Mitch -- apparently on leave from his job as general manager of the restaurant -- calls Pacey in to tell him that instead of on the True Love he should have been in town making up the three junior classes he failed in summer school. Mitch alerts Dawson that Pacey's in big trouble, and though Dawson is a bitch about it, he does hear it when Mitch suggests that he pass the news on to someone who does care if Pacey lives or dies. Speaking of whom: Joey needs a job, and Andie recommends that she apply to wait tables at the yacht club, which is full of cute rich boys and big tips...here at the end of the tourist season. Never mind: Joey takes Andie's advice and lies about connections to big wigs on the club board, getting her hired on the spot, and putting her in the path of "Owen Ross," scion of the family she claimed to know. Jen is starting to get antsy that she hasn't heard from Henry in a while, but no, his email account isn't offline: he gets in touch with Jack just fine, wussily asking HIM to tell Jen Henry wants to take a break. Don't YOU take a break on us: things are looking up with our episode on "Failing Down"! JOIN THE AWT CLUB

Still feeling unsure- even with experience under your belt?

If you work for a software company, odds are that people make up 80-90% of your business's costs. Today's guest argues that in order to effectively manage a company's greatest asset, the CFO should be heavily involved in shaping the company culture. Bill Tole is the CFO of TrustRadius, a trusted platform where tech buyers find real reviews. He is skilled in creating structures around ambition and breaks down how TrustRadius creates and implements Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). He explains how they differ from KPIs, why they fail, and how to set aggressive but achievable goals. He discusses the Rule of 40 and why it's essential for the rest of the company to understand it. Bill also shares how CFOs can influence culture from a finance perspective and why a lack of failure is a cause for concern.—LINKS:Bill Tole on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-tole-0a99789/TrustRadius: https://www.trustradius.com/15Five: https://www.15five.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: http://mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Less but Better: Miro's Justin Coulombe on the Power of Strategic Divestment in SaaS: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:15) Sponsor – NetSuite | Planful | Tabs(06:00) TrustRadius's Business Model(09:20) OKRs at TrustRadius and Finance's Role in Them(14:07) Finance's Role in Asking the Stupid Questions(15:58) Sponsor – Rippling Spend | Pulley | Navan(20:10) How To Set Aggressive but Achievable Goals(23:19) The Ideal Number of OKRs(24:21) Leaving Room for Failing or Innovating(25:57) OKR Derivatives at Department Level(27:36) Why OKRs Fail(28:55) Rewriting or Killing Off an OKR Mid-Way(29:51) Where To Track Your OKRs(32:03) Applying the Rule of 40(34:39) Educating the Org on the Rule of 40(37:34) EBITDA Versus Free Cash Flow for Calculating Rule of 40(39:24) The CFO As the Culture Leader(43:21) Using Money To Change the Culture in a Positive Way(45:42) Mistakes CFO's Make When It Comes to Culture(47:06) Long-Ass Lightning Round: Why Failure Is Okay(51:41) Advice to Younger Self(53:44) Finance Software Stack(55:12) The State of SaaS Fragmentation or SaaS Sprawl(57:28) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:NetSuite is an AI-powered business management suite, encompassing ERP/Financials, CRM, and ecommerce for more than 41,000 customers.

Kurt Metscher is a 36-year-old family law attorney in Austin. His addiction challenges started in high school, first with marijuana, then amphetamines. After an incident in college, he entered treatment. Initially planning to return to his addiction once his probation was over, he gradually found himself enjoying the sober way of life.He wants people, particularly law firms and partners, to understand that addiction is not a moral failing and that a lawyer in recovery is perhaps better equipped to handle the stressors of the profession than a lawyer who has never struggled with addiction.Find an AA meeting: https://austinaa.org/meetings/From Slate, "Why Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death Is So Scary":"One truism of addiction science is that long-term abuse rewires your brain and changes its chemistry, which is why triggers (or “associated stimuli,” in scientific parlance) are major risk factors for relapse. But these changes can be reversed over time. Walking past the apartment where my dealer used to live didn't make me want to score; it made me feel as if I was in a phantasmagoria of two crosshatched worlds—but I was the only person who could see both realities. None of my colleagues at MIT, no one in the science writing community I lean on for professional advice and support, none of the people who've worked on my books has ever seen me slip into that other world."https://slate.com/technology/2014/02/philip-seymour-hoffmans-drug-death-the-science-of-addiction-recovery-and-relapse.html

Forget the food pyramid and bootcamp burnout. What if the real reason you're tired, stuck, and gaining weight has nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with your hormones?In this episode of Talk Healing to Me, Karen Dwyer sits down with hormone and weight loss coach Valeria Lopez, founder of Wise Food Choices, to unpack the truth about metabolism, energy, and why women have been sold an outdated formula.Together, they explore why calorie counting and restriction don't work for women with chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, or hormonal imbalances — and what to do instead. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still feeling awful, this one's for you.

A sermon by Brad Snyder based on John 21 preached on June 15th, 2025 for the Tri-City congregation of Veritas Community Church as part of our sermon series called "John: That You May Believe."

Jesus's final command was the Great Commission, yet startling research reveals many in our churches don't know it. Are we truly making disciples, or is the American church facing a silent crisis? Bullet Points (Key Takeaways):The Great Commission Unawareness: A shocking 51% of US churchgoers have never heard the term "Great Commission," and only 17% fully understand its meaning (Barna).Generational Decline: Understanding of the Great Commission drops significantly with younger generations, posing a critical issue for the future of the church.Discipleship Disconnect: While 92% of churchgoers feel their church helps them grow, only 1% of pastors believe churches in general are doing "very well" at discipling new believers. Only 20% of Christian adults are involved in any formal discipleship.Evangelism Gap: 55% of regular churchgoers haven't shared how to become a Christian in the past 6 months, and over 50% of North American Christian leaders believe believers view the Great Commission as optional.Biblical Literacy Crisis: Many churchgoers lack basic biblical and doctrinal knowledge (e.g., 43% of evangelicals affirming Jesus was merely a great teacher, not God), hindering their ability to fulfill the Great Commission. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)Tithing vs. Mission: Awareness of tithing as a biblical command (77%) far surpasses understanding of the Great Commission (17%), suggesting a communication imbalance.Individual Responsibility: The episode emphasizes personal accountability for understanding the Great Commission, engaging in relational discipleship (2 Timothy 2:2), personal evangelism (1 Peter 3:15), and pursuing biblical literacy (2 Timothy 2:15).Actionable Steps: Seven crucial steps for every believer to address this crisis, from prioritizing personal understanding to bridging generational gaps.Hope and Urgency: Despite sobering statistics, the call is to awaken, repent, and refocus on the unchanging, urgent task of the Great Commission, for "the fields... are white already to harvest." (John 4:35)Related: https://www.conradrocks.net/2024/07/from-novice-to-master-cultivating-your.html Call to Action:Has this episode challenged or inspired you?

The "Business Wingman Show" podcast episode focuses on the challenges new graduates face when entering the workforce and offers practical advice for success. Hosted by Steve and Travis Smith, a father-son duo, the discussion centers on a LinkedIn article Travis wrote outlining ten common struggles experienced by young professionals. Key areas explored include the importance of strong communication skills, emphasizing the need for professional diction, proactive initiation of conversations, and conciseness over jargon or overly lengthy explanations. The hosts also stress the significance of time management, respecting deadlines, and developing professional acumen, advocating for early arrivals to meetings and proactive communication regarding potential delays. Finally, the conversation highlights the importance of gaining real-world experience, navigating office politics, and setting realistic career expectations, underscoring the value of internships and mentorship over immediate high compensation, and suggesting strategic career planning even before choosing a college major.

She thought parenting would be homemade cookies, flouncy dresses, and humming while folding laundry… but instead, she’s throwing plastic cups at walls. In this hilarious, vulnerable, and unexpectedly heartwarming episode, Justin speaks with Victoria Vanstone—author, podcast host, and recovering party girl—about what happens when the perfect mum you imagined never actually shows up. From shouting matches and laptop guilt to near-death experiences and camping hacks, this conversation explores the wild reality of parenting and why just turning up—imperfectly—is more than enough. KEY POINTS Victoria’s journey from party girl to mum (and how giving up drinking gave her back her life) The power of writing to reflect on and process parenting Why self-awareness trumps perfection every time Near-death moments and learning to live with risk as a parent The guilt of being too attached to work—and what she did to fix it Why camping within 5 km of home (and sneaking home to sleep) might be the ultimate parenting hack What it really means to “mum” with heart, humour, and honesty QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Having children means creating risk. Love means risking loss. And that’s parenting in a nutshell—heartwarming and heartbreaking, all in the same breath." — Victoria Vanstone RESOURCES MENTIONED Mumming: A Year of Trying and Failing to Be a Better Parent by Victoria Vanstone A Thousand Wasted Sundays by Victoria Vanstone Sober Awkward podcast What Your Child Needs From You by Dr Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Embrace imperfection. Stop waiting for the “ideal” parent to show up—just keep showing up, messy and real. Reflect and write. Whether you blog, journal, or just jot notes, self-awareness begins with reflection. Seek help when needed. Whether it’s therapy, support groups, or just a trusted friend—reach out. Put down the laptop. Create tech-free time zones at home where your child has your full attention. Find your own hacks. Whether it’s camping close to home or hiring help, do what works for your family—without guilt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How to turn curiosity, clarity, and AI into your most powerful job search tools.Job search isn't just about landing your next role—it's about understanding who you are and how you want to show up in the world. According to Andrew Seaman, Senior Managing Editor for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn, that process begins with curiosity, not certainty. “People assume they need to apply to dozens of jobs with a perfect résumé,” he explains. “But the best applications are rooted in self-awareness and strategy—not spray-and-pray.”Instead of rushing to the next opportunity, Seaman encourages job seekers to slow down, ask better questions, and prioritize conversations over checklists. From informational interviews to profile updates, clarity is key—knowing what you want and telling a story that shows why you're the right fit.With tools like LinkedIn's Job Match and natural-language job search, candidates can now assess how they align with a role—and where they can grow. “It's not just about being qualified,” Seaman says. “It's about showing the value you bring.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seaman joins host Matt Abrahams for our Catalyze Your Career miniseries to share how to job search with intention. Using Matt's “Four I's” framework—identifying, investigating, initiating contact, and interviewing—they explore how strategic storytelling, thoughtful networking, and AI tools can help you stand out in a crowded market.Episode Reference Links:Andrew SeamanEp.184 Fit or Quit?

Whilst Cynthia Nixon's versatility is beyond question, it's fair to say that she has become permanently associated with one character, Miranda Hobbs, in Sex and the City and its companion piece, And Just Like That. She won an Emmy for her performance and a generation of fans who identified with the ambitious type-A lawyer whose cynicism disguised as vulnerability has grown markedly through the decades. Nixon is also a political activist and vocal advocate for progressive causes. She even met her wife at an education rally in 2002. In 2018, she ran unsuccessfully for the governorship of New York. More recently, she has repeatedly spoken out in support of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Nixon's political conscience recalls perhaps the legacy of her journalist Father Walter, who won awards for his coverage of the Civil Rights Movement. An uplifting, smart and enlightening woman - what a joy it was to meet her. Elizabeth and Cynthia answer YOUR questions in our subscriber series, Failing with Friends.

Catholic parishes are closing. Religious and priestly vocations are dwindling. The numbers of those exiting the Church far exceed coming into the Church. Yet it seems that many Church leaders wish for better numbers, while unwilling to consider how and why Catholic communities are failing. Father Robert McTeigue, S.J. asks some hard questions and points towards some unexpected answers. Watch on YouTube: Why Are Catholic Communities Failing?  

Solomon Wilcots stopped by to drop an update about the ongoing and ugly situation involving Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart and his hold out against the front office. It is not everyday that a 1st round draft pick has a hold out and it feels like the Bengals are the only team it could possibly happen to. See what Solomon has to say, who is wrong in this situation? Is Shemar Stewart asking for too much? Is the front office being selfish? What does this have to do with the Trey Hendrickson situation? All of those questions and much more answered on this impromptu episode of the Bleav in Bengals podcast!

How do you write science fiction when technology is moving so quickly? John and Craig welcome back journalist and screenwriter Max Read to look at the trickiness of predicting the future, how our imagined futures can affect our reality, and ways that writers can protect their work from becoming dated before it's even released. We also follow up on the new Dogma manifesto, words we don't have in English, questioning ChatGPT, and answer listener questions on hosting your scripts on your website, offline writing software and how to find the time to goof around.

Israel has always operated a powerful and effective propaganda system - they even have a name for it, “Hasbara.” But in the age of social media the Jewish state finds itself falling behind in the propaganda battle as the ongoing genocide in Gaza and general treatment of Palestinians becomes too horrific for the rest of the world to ignore or Israel to paper over. Jimmy speaks with formerly Gaza-based Palestinian-Egyptian journalist Youmna El Sayed about her reporting and why the tide has turned against Israel in the information war. Plus segments on the bloodthirsty commentators populating Israeli television, House Speaker Mike Johnson's disingenuous response to Elon Musk's criticism of the budget bill and Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy's unhinged reaction to antisemitic jokes.  Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae and Aaron Maté. And a phone call from Douglas Murray!
