Podcasts about finding direction

Welcome to PGX Raw & Real PGX Raw & Real is simple. I sit with people who've lived through something and/or made it big, and I try to understand what it did to them.Sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it gets weird, sometimes we end up laughing at stories that should've gone very differently just like how real conversations go.This isn't meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).This space is different. It's their story, as they experienced it.In this episode I spoke to — Jordan Jonas - one of the leading survivalists and the winner of ALONE Season 6.Timestamps:00:00 - Story he hasn't told anyone08:55 - Jordan on Thrill & Survival 15:58 - His exp. of living in Siberia 22:48 - Hardest Moments on Alone28:41 - Ki*ling a Moose for Survival 33:15 - First Experience of Hunting 45:35 - Has He Ever Seen a Yeti46:40 - He got attacked by wolverine48:56 - Surviving 66 Days alone in Arctic 54:24 - Diff b/w Loneliness & Solitude 56:40 - Living on Trains for 8 Years 01:01:04 - The Problem With Social Media 01:04:25 - What's so special about Himalayas 01:06:53 - Finding Direction in the Jungle01:09:16 - Seeing the Northern Lights 01:13:32 - His Future Plans 01:17:42 - Question for PrakharEnjoy. — Prakhar

Send Jay comments via textWhen your children launch or your career ends, a strange silence can set in—and with it, the big question: What's Next? In this inspiring episode, Jack Calhoun, founder of Encore Career Lab, shares a hopeful, practical path from drifting to purposeful direction. He discusses how many of us face an identity crunch when titles no longer define us—and how to use agency, values, and curiosity to craft a second act that truly fits.Jack unpacks the paradox of choice—why having too many options can stall momentum—and offers a straightforward antidote: start with your why and non-negotiables, identify your caring audience, and run small, low-risk experiments. He emphasizes that purpose often follows action, not the other way around, and shows how both career-related and unrelated paths can thrive if your heart is in it.This conversation challenges outdated retirement scripts, reframing work as a fulfilling, energizing part of life's ongoing journey. Expect honest talk about fear, ego, and indecision, along with tactical advice on surfacing your “wisdom fingerprint,” setting boundaries, and testing new ideas without risking everything.  Key takeaways:  The rise of entrepreneurship among ages 55-64Identity enmeshment with career and parentingFinding purpose through purposeful actionDefining your core values and non-negotiables firstJack Calhoun BioJack J. Calhoun is the founder of Encore Career Lab and a seasoned entrepreneur with over two decades of experience managing a wealth management firm. After selling his business, Jack faced his own post-retirement questions about purpose and fulfillment, inspiring him to help others navigate similar transitions. He specializes in guiding high achievers—particularly those aged 50 and above—toward designing meaningful second careers that blend passion, impact, and income. Through his insights and frameworks, Jack empowers professionals to turn uncertainty into opportunity and create purpose-driven encore careers that enrich their lives well beyond traditional retirement.Find Jack Online: LinkedIn, WebsiteSupport the showBECOME A VIP SUBSCRIBER (Join Today!)

"민지야, 나 요즘 많이 혼란스러워. 내 미래가 어떻게 될지 모르겠어."En: Jinwoo sighed and said, "Minji, I'm so confused these days. I don't know what my future holds."Ko: 민지는 잠시 생각하더니, 진우를 밝혔다. "나도 힘들어. 부모님 기대가 너무 커서 가끔은 숨이 막힐 것 같아. 겉으로는 자신감 넘쳐 보이지만, 속은 그렇지 않아."En: Minji thought for a moment and then confided in Jinwoo. "I'm struggling too. My parents' expectations are so high that sometimes I feel suffocated. I may look confident on the outside, but inside, it's not like that."Ko: 진우는 민지의 말을 듣고 놀랐다.En: Jinwoo was surprised to hear Minji's words.Ko: 그는 자신이 혼자가 아니었다는 사실에 안도감을 느꼈다.En: He felt relieved knowing that he wasn't alone.Ko: "그래도 우리 같은 고민을 함께 나눌 수 있어서 다행이야. 나의 고민도 조금씩 풀릴 것 같아."En: "I'm glad we can share these worries together. I feel like my troubles might start to unravel little by little."Ko: 공룡 전시관을 지나며 두 친구는 더 많은 이야기를 나누었다.En: As they passed the dinosaur exhibit, the two friends shared more stories.Ko: 진우는 자신이 하고 싶은 일들을 하나씩 생각해 보기로 결심했다.En: Jinwoo decided to think about the things he really wanted to do.Ko: 더 이상 다른 사람의 기대에 얽매이지 않기로 했다.En: He resolved not to be entangled in other people's expectations anymore.Ko: 민지도 진우와 이야기를 나누며 자신의 고민을 털어놓고 나니 마음이 한결 가벼워였다.En: Minji also felt much lighter after sharing her concerns with Jinwoo.Ko: 박물관을 나서며 진우는 미소를 지었다. 가을 햇살이 따뜻했다.En: As they left the museum, Jinwoo smiled. The autumn sunshine was warm.Ko: 진우는 마음속 여유를 찾고 있었다.En: Jinwoo found a sense of peace within himself.Ko: 그는 자신만의 길을 찾을 수 있다는 희망을 품고 있었다.En: He harbored hope that he could find his own path.Ko: 이제는 두려움 없이 친구들과 함께 이야기하며, 차근차근 자신의 미래를 그려 나갈 용기가 생겼다.En: Now, without fear, he had the courage to talk with friends and carefully map out his future.Ko: 진우는 민지를 바라보며 말했다. "고마워, 민지야. 네 덕분에 나 혼자가 아니라는 걸 알았어."En: Jinwoo looked at Minji and said, "Thank you, Minji. Thanks to you, I realized I'm not alone."Ko: 그날 이후로 진우는 더 이상 혼자가 아니었다.En: From that day on, Jinwoo was no longer alone.Ko: 친구와 함께라면, 무엇이든 할 수 있다는 자신감을 얻었다.En: With a friend by his side, he gained the confidence that he could do anything.Ko: 가을의 소중한 하루는 그렇게 따뜻한 우정 속에 저물어 갔다.En: The precious autumn day faded away in the warmth of friendship.

Finding Direction By Cleaving by Pastor Stacey ShiflettText: Ruth 1: 1-18August 17, 2025 - 11AM

Have you ever felt that nagging urge to grow and transform without knowing exactly where you're headed?  That uncomfortable space between knowing you need change and not having a clear destination can feel like being lost at sea – eager to move but unsure which direction leads to land.  Drawing from my coaching experience and personal journey, this episode unveils a powerful alternative to traditional goal-setting that works brilliantly during times of transition and uncertainty. Rather than forcing yourself to define an end destination you genuinely can't envision, I share how creating "pacts" – short-term, focused commitments to specific actions – can provide structure, learning, and forward momentum.  You'll discover how one CEO I'm working with reclaimed control of his days through a simple 5-minute morning practice, and how a senior professional navigating career transition used targeted exploration to uncover her path forward. I outline the 4 essential elements that make pacts effective. This approach transforms vague aspirations like "get better at ..." into concrete actions that generate real insights.  Whether you're reimagining your career, pivoting your business, or simply feeling called toward something new without knowing what, this episode offers a practical framework for progress.  By embracing experimentation and committing to process over predetermined outcomes, you'll learn how to navigate uncertainty with confidence, curiosity, and purpose. What tiny experiment might unlock your next chapter?  Listen and find out how to start moving forward, even when the destination remains unclear.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

This episode has immense value—one I definitely plan to share with my kids.Sahil introduces this concept of asymmetry: small actions that yield outsized rewards, applicable across career, social, financial, mental, and physical wealth.

"The Way, The Truth, and The Life" – Power and Promise In this message, Pastor Matt explores Jesus' declaration in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Set during Jesus' final moments with His disciples before His crucifixion, this sermon reveals how Jesus used Jewish wedding customs to illustrate His relationship with believers. Just as a Jewish bridegroom would prepare a place for his bride and return for her, Jesus promises to prepare heavenly dwellings for His followers and come back for them. Key Insights: * Jesus doesn't just show us a path—He IS the destination * Christianity isn't about religious performance but about "knowing, growing, and walking closer with Jesus, our eternal Savior" * From our first breath of faith to our final earthly moment, our relationship with Christ should be growing more intimate * Jesus patiently addresses His disciples' confusion and questions, showing us how He meets us in our uncertainty Key Scripture: John 14 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.14.NIV) This message concludes with an invitation for believers who haven't yet been baptized to take this first step of obedience in their Christian walk. As Jesus tells His troubled disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will deepen your understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Self-Leadership and Responsibility: Taking 100% responsibility for one's life and decisions is crucial. Individuals often fall into a victim mindset, blaming others for their circumstances instead of recognizing their own power to change. Awareness of Thoughts: Becoming aware of "should" statements and self-judgment is the first step toward personal growth. By questioning these thoughts without judgment, individuals can begin to understand their true desires and motivations. BEST MOMENTS "Being a woman in midlife means I know of a fair few women in midlife... there's a kind of sense of more sense of identity that comes up." "A lot of it is very quite simply, it starts off with they say, I feel like I've lost my confidence." "When you first start to notice those thoughts, you're going to be alarmed by the frequency with which they come up." "Stop trying to fix yourself and start living. Just start living."
