In this enlightening conversation on the "Parents is Your Teen College Ready?" show, Shellee Howard interviews Sarah Morgan, a former corporate trainer turned school assembly speaker who focuses on teaching students about emotional resilience and recovery. Sarah shares her compelling personal story of a horseback riding accident that nearly left her quadriplegic, highlighting how her mindset and belief system played a crucial role in her recovery. She emphasizes the importance of understanding emotions through Dr. Albert Ellis's ABC theory, which explains how our beliefs mediate emotional responses rather than the activating events themselves. Sarah discusses the challenges students face today, including bullying, rigid expectations, and the emotional toll of social media and AI, offering practical advice for parents to help their children build emotional resilience. She advocates for leveraging school counselors and educational resources to support teens and encourages parents to foster healthy belief systems in their children to prepare them for college and life beyond. HighlightsSarah Morgan transitioned from corporate leadership training to inspiring teenagers nationwide on emotional resilience.The ABC theory of emotions (Activating event, Belief system, Consequence) is key to managing emotional responses.Sarah's personal story of a near-quadriplegic horseback riding accident underscores the power of mindset in recovery.Addressing bullying and social challenges is central to Sarah's school assemblies, focusing on resilience rather than victimhood.Social media and AI amplify rigid expectations and comparison, increasing anxiety and anger among teens.Parents are encouraged to collaborate with school counselors and use available resources to support their child's emotional health.Embracing failure as a learning tool is critical for long-term success and emotional strength.Key InsightsResilience is a skill that can be taught and cultivated: Sarah's shift from corporate training to youth education reflects a growing recognition that resilience and emotional literacy are essential life skills for young people. By addressing real-life challenges and emotional management, she equips students to navigate uncertainties, setbacks, and social pressures. This proactive approach contrasts with traditional academic focus and prepares teens for holistic success.The ABC model reframes emotional reactions: Sarah highlights Dr. Albert Ellis's ABC theory to illustrate that emotions do not directly result from external events but from the interpretation or belief about those events. This insight is empowering, encouraging students (and adults) to examine and adjust their belief systems, reducing emotional distress and promoting healthier responses. For parents, this model offers a practical framework to help children understand their feelings and reactions constructively.Personal adversity as a teaching tool enhances authenticity: Sarah's detailed recounting of her accident and recovery lends credibility and emotional weight to her message. Her experience illustrates how controlled decisions, like accepting help (helmet use) and maintaining a calm belief system, can dramatically influence outcomes. This personal narrative resonates deeply with students, making the abstract concept of resilience tangible and relatable.Bullying and social challenges are symptoms of broader emotional struggles: Sarah addresses bullying not just as isolated social conflict but as part of the larger emotional resilience framework. She encourages students to recognize their power over their reactions and belief systems rather than letting negative social interactions define their emotional state. This shift from victimhood to empowerment is crucial in creating a supportive school environment.The pervasive influence of social media creates rigid expectations and emotional distress: Sarah points out how constant exposure to curated lives online raises unrealistic standards, fostering anxiety and anger, both manifestations of rigidity in thinking. She teaches the importance of flexible thinking and “lightly held desires,” helping teens manage disappointment and uncertainty in a healthier way. This insight is vital as parents and educators seek to mitigate the negative psychological impacts of digital culture.Failure is an unavoidable and necessary part of growth: Drawing on Dr. Henry Cloud's advice, Sarah stresses that learning to fail and recover is more valuable than avoiding failure altogether. This mindset prepares teens for real-world challenges by building endurance and adaptability. For parents, this means supporting children through setbacks and helping them see failure as a stepping stone to resilience rather than a catastrophe.Parental involvement combined with school resources strengthens emotional support: Sarah urges parents to engage with school counselors and make use of educational materials to foster emotional awareness at home. She recognizes that parents often struggle with their own rigid expectations, which can inadvertently add pressure on children. By working collaboratively with schools and focusing on belief systems, families can create a nurturing environment that prepares teens for the emotional demands of college and adulthood.Extended AnalysisSarah Morgan's approach to emotional resilience is both practical and deeply human. By integrating personal experience with psychological theory, she connects with students on a level that traditional educational programs often miss. Her emphasis on belief systems as the filter for emotional responses challenges the common misconception that external events alone dictate feelings. This insight is revolutionary in emotional education, empowering young people to reclaim control over their mental states, fostering independence and confidence.Moreover, Sarah's recognition of the unique pressures faced by today's youth, exacerbated by social media and AI, reflects an acute understanding of generational challenges. The concept of “rigid expectations” as a root cause of anxiety and anger is particularly insightful. It highlights that emotional difficulties often stem from cognitive inflexibility rather than the events themselves. Teaching teens to hold desires lightly and to accept uncertainty equips them with psychological tools to maintain equilibrium in a rapidly changing world.Her story of survival and recovery from a life-threatening injury adds a powerful narrative dimension, showing resilience not as an abstract ideal but as a lived reality. The specific example of how wearing a helmet and making deliberate choices in the moment saved her from permanent paralysis underscores the intersection of mindset, preparedness, and practical action.For parents, Sarah's advice to utilize school counselors and educational resources acknowledges the complex ecosystem influencing teen emotional health. It reflects the reality that parents cannot do it alone but can play a critical role by fostering open communication and supporting professional guidance. Her caution against conditional self-esteem, a prevalent but harmful mindset, encourages a more stable, intrinsic sense of worth for young people.In sum, Sarah's work exemplifies a modern, nuanced approach to emotional education, one that balances theory, personal experience, and practical strategies to empower the next generation for college and life beyond. Parents, educators, and students alike can benefit from her insights on resilience, emotional awareness, and the power of belief systems to shape our emotional landscapes.Connect with Shellee Howard: WebsiteYouTubeInstagram LinkedIn Connect with Sarah Morgan: WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramLinkedIn
Uisce Éireann is being criticised for failing to consider alternatives to a project which will see 330 million litres of water taken from the River Shannon. An event held by the River Shannon Protection Alliance has heard that the proposed 170-kilometre pipeline from the Parteen Basin to Dublin will result in "dangerous low water flow" in the Shannon. Clare County Council has this month agreed to lodge a submission with An Coimisiún Pleanála outlining local representatives' concerns around the plans. Environmentalist and Senior Project Manager with the River Shannon Protection Alliance Elaine Doyle believes there are better ways to address the drink water supply shortage in the capital.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 127), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins the Gate of Flattery (Sha'ar HaChanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, warning that flattery is a grave sin—often more dangerous than outright falsehood—because it distorts truth for personal gain. The chapter divides flattery into nine categories, with the rabbi focusing on the first and its severe consequences.Key teachings:First category of flattery — Praising or speaking smoothly to a known rasha (wicked person), ramai (deceiver), or thief—saying “you did nothing wrong” or “you're fine” when they are guilty.Multiple transgressions —Failure to rebuke (lo tochiah) when obligated—strengthens evildoers' hands.Not being zealous for truth—punishment for abandoning emes. Aiding sin—by reassuring them, prevents teshuva (repentance).Desecration of God's Name (chillul Hashem) if public—makes sin appear acceptable.Flattery = smooth tongue, not praise — It's saying one thing while thinking another (echad b'peh v'echad b'lev)—justifying evil, currying favor, or avoiding confrontation.Severe punishment — Flatterers cannot dwell in God's presence (one of four groups barred: liars, slanderers, flatterers, etc.). Talmud (Sotah) lists them among those excluded from Shechinah.Biblical & Talmudic sources — “Do not tremble before any man” (Deuteronomy); Agrippa story—flattering him as “our brother” led to destruction; “you shall not put a foreigner over you” caused tears and divine displeasure.Practical application — Never justify wickedness—even privately. Rebuke gently when possible; stay silent if they won't listen. Never praise evil to gain benefit. Truth must remain intact.The rabbi stresses: flattery is “kissing up” to wrongdoers—distorts reality, blocks teshuva, and desecrates God's Name. Live with uncompromising truth—even when uncomfortable._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 16, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Have you ever followed a meal plan, lost weight… and then gained it back again? So many Christian women aren't asking how to plan — they're asking: “What happens when I mess it up again?” Because most of us have followed a weight loss plan, struggled with emotional eating, regained the weight, and then judged ourselves or disconnected from our eating habits altogether. In this Christian weight loss podcast episode, we talk about why overeating often leads to shame, disconnection, and starting over — and how Scripture offers a different response. Through the lens of Leviticus, we explore how God created pathways for His people to return to closeness with Him after failure — and what that means for your meal planning protocol today. FREE CLASS If you've struggled with sticking to a plan and then disconnecting when you don't… Join my free Stop Overeating Class this Thursday, where I teach: why we overeat how to create a peaceful protocol how to return without judgment and how to follow through without relying on willpower

"We are still dealing with a system which tolerates rampant abuse of accused people." — Emily Galvin AlmanzaBack in April 2024, we interviewed Thelton Henderson, one of the first African American federal judges in America. What disturbed me about our conversation was that even though Henderson grew up in the late Jim Crow era, he didn't seem to think that America is a profoundly more just place now than it was back then. Today's guest clerked for Judge Henderson, and her new book suggests he's right.Emily Galvin Almanza is a public defender turned activist, and The Price of Mercy is her data-driven indictment of a criminal justice system that, as she puts it, "tolerates rampant abuse of accused people, tolerates the blatantly racist application of the law, and tolerates a total lack of transparency." According to Almanza, the numbers are damning: 80% of cases are misdemeanors. 80% of people prosecuted are poor enough to need a public defender. 70% of people in jail haven't been convicted—they just can't afford bail. California's gang database was 99% people of color, she says, and famously included literal babies listed as having "admitted their gang affiliation."And here's both the good and bad news: crime is actually down. If you're under 50, she notes, you're living through the safest period of your lifetime. The solutions aren't mysterious either—housing reduces arrest rates by 80%, after-school programs cut youth violent crime in half. That's all good news for us. But it remains bad for those being unjustifiably prosecuted. We just lack the political will to implement what works. And as Galvin Almanza points out, this isn't a federal issue: 87% of prisoners are in jail on state charges. Change happens at the local level—DAs, sheriffs, state legislatures. The fixes, she says, are realizable. We just need the collective political will. That's the price of mercy in America today.About the GuestEmily Galvin Almanza is Executive Director of Partners for Justice and teaches at Stanford Law School. A former public defender, she clerked for Judge Thelton Henderson. Her new book is The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Violent System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America (2026).ReferencesPeople mentioned:● Thelton Henderson was one of the first African American federal judges in America, a civil rights pioneer for whom Galvin Almanza clerked.● Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow, blurbed the book. Galvin Almanza agrees "without hesitation" that we're living in a new Jim Crow system.● Alec Karakatsanis coined the term "copaganda" for media narratives that undermine smarter criminal justice solutions.● Clara Shortridge Foltz was a 19th-century lawyer who coined the phrase "free and equal justice" and pioneered the public defender system.● Andrew Ferguson of GW University appeared on the show recently with a book warning about surveillance.Key statistics from the book:● 80% of cases in the system are misdemeanors—trespassing, driving without a license, fare evasion.● 80% of people prosecuted are poor enough to be assigned a public defender.● 70% of people in jail haven't been convicted—they're awaiting trial and can't afford bail.● 87% of prisoners are there on state charges, not federal—making this a local issue.● Every year of incarceration shaves two years off a person's expected lifespan.● Being incarcerated cuts a person's expected lifetime earnings in half.● Giving an unhoused person housing reduces their chances of future arrest by 80%.● After-school programs can reduce youth involvement in violent crime by 50%.Concepts discussed:● Cash bail is a $2 billion per year industry in America. Most civilized countries don't allow you to buy your freedom back from the government.● "Failure to protect" laws criminalize women who are present while an abusive partner also abuses their child—charging victims as perpetrators.● Self-defense laws were "designed with two men fighting in an alley in mind"—making them nearly useless for abused women who fight back.● Gang databases in California were 99% people of color and included babies listed as having "admitted their gang affiliation."About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States—hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,800 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting.WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotifyChapters:(00:00) - Introduction: Thelton Henderson (02:22) - Has anything changed since the 1960s?

What if failure isn't something to avoid, but a skill to master? This episode breaks down why startups can't be built on certainty—new markets, new products, and new teams mean you're guaranteed to be wrong a lot. The goal isn't to “be right,” it's rapid error correction: make decisions, ship anyway, learn fast, and recover even faster. The conversation covers how avoiding failure leads to paralysis (“steering a parked car”), why indecision compounds in startups, and how to reduce risk by keeping failures small, reversible, and frequent (kill switches, stop rules, and capped losses). They share early personal stories—school fights and a childhood cattle business collapse—to show how overcoming real consequences builds confidence and resilience. Practical examples include choosing an ICP quickly, improving poor conversion rates through iteration, using vesting/cliffs when picking co-founders, and why even top VCs still miss constantly.

Rick admitted though that he quickly got hooked on the ruthless protagonist as well as the sheer effectiveness of the "useless" status ailments magic like sleep, paralyze, and poison, even if he spent half the season frustrated that the main character couldn't use anything other than those. And Jack breaks down the darker elements of the world, pointing out that the hero had been shaped by trauma, and not only by recent events but by his past rather than nobility, though he isn't quite as sold on the execution. We also talk about the finale, or lack thereof. Rick claims the show "No Game No Life'd" him because the open ending felt like a personal insult with no Season 2 in sight. Jack called out the "trash" animation and forced villain monologues. And while Rick was emotionally invested enough to be angry, Jack found the whole experience middling, arguing that while it was watchable, it gave him absolutely zero drive to pick up the light novels to see what happens next.About the anime:Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells Follows Touka Mimori as he is summoned to another word with his classmates but rather then him being the hero he is immediately rated E-rank and tossed into a death dungeon by the goddess Vicius, his "useless" status effect skills (paralyze, poison, sleep) turn out to have a 100% success rate, which is the kind of quietly devastating detail that the goddess does not know about. This isn't just a power fantasy reversal, this show commits to Mimori as someone fundamentally is shaped by trauma by both his past and current life events and not some noble hero waiting to emerge. He develops two distinct personas depending on who he's dealing with, and the series doesn't shy away from making him genuinely ruthless when he thinks someone deserves it. The world around him is brutal in ways that feel thought-through and the "heroes" for the most part are corrupt and selfish, the institutions are all cruel by design, and Mimori's revenge arc is less about becoming an oppressor himself and more about protecting people the world has discarded Seras the elf princess hunted for her beauty, Eve Speed forced into bloodsport arenas.Next Week's Pick: “Moonrise”Have you had the chance to watch Failure Frame or any of our previous selections?

In Wellington, failure at the Moa Point wastewater treatment plant has led to millions of liters of wastewater being sent into the Cook Strait. The incident has shed light on what scientific experts have been saying for years — that water infrastructure in New Zealand is out of date and incapable of handling the growing effect of climate challenges without deeper investment. The Salvation Army released their State of the Nation report which has found an increase in issues across the justice system, child welfare, and poverty contributing to declining social equality in Aotearoa. As well, NZ First leader Winston Peters is campaigning on a referendum on Māori seats in New Zealand. Wire Host Sara spoke to National MP Ryan Hamilton about all of these topics, starting with Moa Point.

Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down every major forensic decision at Nancy Guthrie's home — from the scene being released after one day to a rooftop camera missed for five days to investigators searching a septic tank behind the property.Blood confirmed as Nancy's DNA on the front porch. Doorbell camera physically removed. Floodlight destroyed. All belongings left inside. Sheriff Nanos released the scene Monday, said it was "done" Tuesday, and later admitted he "could have held off." Investigators returned four more times. Crime scene tape went up and down. A Fox analyst said anyone could have tampered with evidence during the gaps. On Friday, agents found a camera on the roof that had been missed in every previous search. Drone footage later showed deputies probing a septic tank.Dreeke applies his FBI experience to the questions that will shape this case. What does the evidence pattern reveal about who committed this crime? What does the systematic targeting of every camera suggest about the perpetrator's knowledge of the property? What does the septic tank search signal about where the investigation is headed? And can the chain-of-custody breaks from the first week be recovered?This episode also examines the attack cycle that precedes targeted abductions. The surveillance phase. The target selection process. The insider threat pattern where perpetrators leverage someone with existing access to gather intelligence external surveillance cannot provide. The timeline at Nancy's property — cameras disabled in sequence, pacemaker disconnecting at 2:28 AM — is consistent with operational precision rather than impulsive crime.Robin Dreeke is a retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.#NancyGuthrie #RobinDreeke #FBI #CrimeScene #HiddenKillersLive #ChainOfCustody #ForensicEvidence #SavannahGuthrie #TucsonArizona #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everyone loses deals. Everyone gets knocked down. The difference between average performers and winners isn't avoiding failure—it's recovering faster. In this episode, Bob Stewart and Chad Hyams break down how high performers process loss, shorten the emotional drag, and get back into motion before most people even stand up. You'll learn the psychology behind slow recovery, the 24–48 hour rule for resetting after a loss, how to extract lessons without spiraling, and why momentum comes from movement—not motivation. A practical, leadership-driven conversation on turning setbacks into forward progress. ---------- Connect with the hosts: • Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ • Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob • Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ • Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/ More ways to connect: • Join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive • Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://WinMakeGive.com/sign-up • Explore the Win Make Give Podcast Network: https://WinMakeGive.com/ Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network
Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1886Lewis asks the question everyone avoids: what do you do when you poured your whole life into something and it didn't work? Lindsey Vonn's answer is not cute or motivational-poster fluff. It's the gritty reality of setbacks stacking up, the isolation of being alone with your thoughts, and the quiet fight to keep believing in yourself when the “crash, failure” moments start to feel like your identity. She talks about depression, the loneliness of life on the road, and why she started journaling daily back in 2005 so she'd have proof of who she was when things were actually going well.The biggest takeaway is deceptively practical: build a “reference point” for your best self before you need it. Lindsey wrote down what worked, what felt good, what didn't, and then read it later to regain confidence and visualize her way back. Pair that with her question for hard seasons, “Why am I doing this?”, and you've got a reset button that works for careers, relationships, and any dream that takes a few punches before it pays off.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The legal fallout from the Pima County Sheriff's Department's handling of the Nancy Guthrie disappearance is mounting. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to analyze the investigative decisions that a courtroom would scrutinize most heavily — and several of them trace directly to Sheriff Chris Nanos.The crime scene was released prematurely and investigators returned multiple times to collect evidence they missed. The department's thermal imaging aircraft was unavailable for five critical hours because the sheriff had reassigned the pilot to patrol over a personal dispute. Doorbell camera footage the department spent ten days calling unrecoverable was ultimately found by the FBI in backend server data. The sheriff made a public statement to NBC News claiming Nancy was "taken from her bed" and retracted it the following day.Faddis explains the legal weight of each decision. Chain of custody fractures from premature scene releases. The negligence threshold for failing to deploy your best search asset when the delay is tied to a documented personnel decision. The impact of ten days of investigative choices made without the case's most critical evidence. The legal risks when a lead investigator makes inaccurate public statements during a nationally covered case — both for investigation integrity and jury pool contamination.The Guthrie family's actions add another layer. They've hired private security, released escalating public videos. Faddis reads that pattern as a former prosecutor and explains what it suggests about the family's relationship with the investigation — and whether it could carry legal consequences later.If this case doesn't end with Nancy coming home alive, Faddis addresses the threshold for civil liability against a sheriff's department for a negligent investigation and whether these documented failures would meet it.#NancyGuthrie #EricFaddis #SheriffChrisNanos #CrimeSceneRelease #ThermalImaging #NestCamera #FBIRecovery #TrueCrimeToday #GuthrieDisappearance #LegalAnalysisJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Join Bryan and Charles as we return to policy episodes and talk about Game Rule Violations (GRVs) from the Magic Infraction Procedure Guide. Magic is a complex game, and there are many things that players can do to cause problems in the game. As Tournament officials we need to know how to recognize and, if possible, fix the situation. However, how can you fix a mistake that happened 3 turns ago, and has had its impact build over three turns. In this episode, we talk about how to recognize a GRV, how to recognize if you can fix the problem, how to fix the problem if you can, and then why you shouldn't just make up your own fixes. GRVs are among the most common infraction given at Competitive tournaments, and definitely something any judge working an RCQ or higher should understand.

1. Large-Scale Individual Fraud Example A Los Angeles contractor, Alexander Suker, is accused of stealing $23 million intended to feed and house homeless individuals. Funds were allegedly used for luxury homes, cars, vacations, designer goods, and private schools, instead of homeless services. 2. Failure to Deliver Promised Services Suker was contracted to provide three meals per day to up to 600 homeless people. Inspections reportedly found only canned beans and ramen noodles, contradicting billing claims. Prosecutors allege the use of fake vendors, falsified facilities, and false service records. 3. Broader Pattern of Fraud in California Federal authorities indicate at least 12 additional similar cases under investigation. A U.S. Attorney stated that large sums were pushed out quickly with minimal vetting or checks and balances. 4. Comparison to Other State Scandals Investigators and commentators compare California’s situation to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future fraud, claiming California’s fraud may be larger in scale. Independent investigator Nick Shirley claims billions of dollars may be involved statewide. 5. Alleged Billions in Unaccounted Public Funds $70 billion in taxpayer funds missing or unaccounted for $24 billion spent on allegedly nonexistent homelessness programs $18 billion on nonfunctional high-speed rail $32 billion in stolen COVID relief funds $2.5 billion lost to SNAP fraud 6. Political and Structural Implications California leadership is accused of enabling fraud by prioritizing rapid spending over accountability. Calls are made for whistleblower lawsuits as a tool to recover funds. Critics argue that higher taxes are being proposed despite massive losses. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Most people assume they're afraid of failure. But for many, the deeper fear is actually success—the visibility, responsibility, and identity shift that comes with getting what you've been working toward. In this episode, I break down the real neuroscience behind success-avoidance, why your mind resists moving forward, and the five steps you can use to update your internal story and take intentional action. These insights come from over 40 years of studying how the mind drives behavior and how identity shifts create real change. You'll learn: • Why fear of success is more common than people think • How your mind uses old identity predictions to protect you • What triggers hesitation, overthinking, and self-sabotage • How to uncover the thought driving your resistance • How to update the meaning your mind assigns to success • The small actions that reshape your identity and unlock momentum Want to go deeper?

What if the only thing standing between you and your dream is a story you made up about how it will end? In this episode, I sit down with executive coach, bestselling author, and speaker Ryan Leak to talk about the dangerous habit of pre-calculating failure and talking ourselves out of our own potential. Ryan shares the story behind his documentary Chasing Failure, including how he convinced an NBA team to let him try out (yes, really) and what he learned when he didn't make it. We dive into why successful people are more willing to “sit in the bookstore alone,” how to stop overcomplicating your dreams, and why perfection is the fastest way to stay stuck. Get ready to stop talking yourself out of your dreams and start doing it scared. In This Episode You Will Learn Why you PRE-CALCULATE FAILURE and quit before you even start. How CHASING FAILURE can take you further than chasing success. The mindset shift that separates those who WIN from those who WON'T TRY. Why you must give your BEST to the opportunity in front of you. How to DO IT SCARED instead of waiting to feel ready. The most powerful SELF-AWARENESS question you can ask to elevate your leadership. How to move from a life you tolerate to a life you intentionally LEVEL UP.
