Episode #1090  Most men don't realize they're drifting until it's already been years. Life feels "fine" on the surface, business is steady, the marriage isn't falling apart, the kids are growing up, but deep down, you know something's off. That fire, that drive you once had? It's gone. In this episode, Doug and Tim break down what "the drift" actually is, how it silently pulls high-performing men into a rut, and why so many stay stuck for years. They unpack how good habits and strong traits can eventually trap you, why predictability is a relationship killer, and what it takes to reset your life without blowing everything up. You'll hear real stories of men who looked successful from the outside but were checked out on the inside. We cover how guilt, routine, and the "nice guy" trap keep men playing small. There's also a clear reason why going it alone rarely works. You need challenge, you need truth, and you need it from other men who've already done the work. This isn't about hype or hacks, it's about getting honest with where you are and what you're actually here for. If you're ready to break out of the drift and want a clear plan to get your passion, power, and connection back, check out the free training at fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales. It's a simple first step, but it'll show you exactly what's broken and how to start fixing it.

Many HR leaders ask themselves the same question: How do we help employees feel that their work matters? Purpose isn't a feel-good idea; it's a business strategy that drives retention, productivity, and engagement. If people feel their work matters, they're nearly 300% more likely to stay with their company. While meaningful work drives those outcomes, Shane Jackson, president of Jackson Healthcare, reminds us that purpose begins long before anyone logs into work. He talks about how personal purpose and workplace purpose shape each other, shares practical tips on how to build purpose at your company and measure its success, and why he goes on a one-day retreat each year to take stock. He also tells us why his colleagues call him an “intention enthusiast and why he never wants to cut grass again. Don't miss the company culture event of the year!

Send us a textMy guest on the podcast today is Gurds Hundal. A former journalist, Gurds is a Trauma Coach & Inner Work Expert, who has more than a decade of experience in trauma healing, boundaries and inner child work. Many of her clients have discovered their purpose, entered healthy relationships, created stronger boundaries, reconnected with their inner child and learnt to love themselves better, and her signature approach comes down to holding the space for her clients to feel, deal with and heal their trauma in a safe and understanding environment...allowing them to heal quicker.  Gurds has extensive experience in coaching, medical journalism and healthcare and has helped many women to transform trauma and infinitely trust themselves, so they can powerfully move forward in their life. She is also the host of her own podcast, The Inner Light Project, which is how I met Gurds because I was a guest on her podcast and we had such a great conversation that I decided I had to get her on mine. In this conversation, Gurds tells me how she went from being a “hot mess” and collapsing in her office, to a cancer stare, to discovering she had kidney disease…to turning her life around and finding her purpose and joy.The conversation delves into the power of healing childhood and ancestral trauma, understanding intuition, and living a life true to oneself. Practical advice is given on how to start the journey of self-discovery and healing, and the episode wraps up with insights into breaking free from victimhood and feeding the positive aspects of life.02:15 Guest Introduction03:26 Gurds' Journey: From Collapse to Cancer Scare07:05 The Turning Point: Embracing Self-Love and Healing09:19 Discovering Coaching and Transforming Trauma13:04 The Power of Intuition and Healing20:37 Finding Purpose and Living Intentionally31:17 Letting Go of Fear and Embracing Abundance32:31 The Power of Intuition and Self-Trust33:54 Challenges Faced by Single Women35:33 Self-Love and Mirror Work40:09 Understanding and Healing the Inner Child47:00 Breaking Free from Victimhood53:04 Living an Awesome Life and Embracing Your GiftsCheck out Gurds' website: https://gurdshundal.com/Check out her podcast, The Inner Light Project: https://gurdshundal.com/podcast/Follow Gurds on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamgurds/ Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

What do you do when life tells you there's no future left to plan for? In this powerful episode of Never Perfect, Dr. Beth sits down with Sean Swarner, a two-time terminal cancer survivor who was once given just days to live—and went on to redefine what's possible. With one lung, Sean became the first cancer survivor to climb Mt Everest and the only person in history to climb the highest mountain on every continent and ski to both the North and South Poles. There's a reason Sean was voted one of the 8 most inspiring people of all time; he is a living testament to resilience. Given 14 days to live, he emerged as the first cancer survivor atop Everest, scaling all seven continents' peaks, skiing to both Poles, and completing the Hawaii Ironman World Championship. Beyond milestones, he founded The Cancer Climber Association, wrote "BECOMING UNSTOPABLE: Conquering Your Everest" and is a sought-after speaker. From crawling in a hospital to Everest's summit, Sean's journey inspires globally. Join him in defying odds and sharing his powerful message worldwide. Today Sean shares how shifting his focus from not dying to fully living changed everything. He also explains his distinction between “true summits” and “false summits”. Together, he and Dr. Beth explore resilience, identity, mental health, and the courage it takes to keep choosing life—especially when the odds say you shouldn't. This episode explores: Turning impossible diagnoses into purpose-driven living Why failure is information, not identity Mental health, fear, and meeting life one minute at a time How redefining “possible” can transform everything

Grace Kao has served as a marketing leader at some of the most influential consumer tech companies of our time, including Yahoo, Pandora, Instagram, Spotify, and now Snap, where she is the CMO. But one of the most important things for her career growth has been following people, rather than job titles. "You want to go to a company that you believe in the company values, but believing in the people and understand that the people have the same values as you do, that has always been important to me," she says. Today on Building Better CMOs, Grace and Marketing + Media Alliance CEO Greg Stuart talk about the power of marketing to mindsets instead of demographics, and the advice from her mom that still guides her today: don't be afraid to fail. They also discuss what marketers can learn from Gen Z's entrepreneurial creativity, the upcoming relaunch of Snap's AR glasses Specs, and CEO Evan Spiegel's "shots to goal" philosophy. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠ This episode was produced and edited by Eric Johnson from ⁠⁠⁠⁠LightningPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Follow Building Better CMOs in your podcast app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Rate and review the podcast⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grace's LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Greg's LinkedIn

Jason and Michael Zuber explore how artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics are poised to trigger a massive era of global prosperity. They discuss predictions from tech leaders that automation will soon collapse the cost of services, potentially replacing universal basic income with "universal high income" as living standards rise. While they acknowledge significant job displacement, they argue that human nature will always innovate new desires and industries, such as the growing alternative collectible market. They emphasize that as technology creates more disposable income, the demand for physical real estate and rare assets will likely intensify. Ultimately, they view this transition as a final opportunity to build generational wealth before the fundamental nature of money and labor is permanently altered. #GenerationalWealth #ArtificialIntelligence #ElonMusk #HumanoidRobots #TechnoOptimism #UniversalHighIncome #FutureOfEconomy #JobAutomation #RealEstateInvesting #ServiceDeflation #WealthConcentration #SiliconValley #PhysicalScarcity #RareCollectibles #EconomicAlchemy #StandardOfLiving #UniversalBasicIncome #AssetProtection #HumanCondition #AmericanDream   Key Takeaways: 0:00 8 Billion humanoids 12:20 Work still has meaning.

Have you ever felt like life is moving too fast, or perhaps it's stalled in a season of "winter" that feels cold, lonely, and long? In this episode, we dive into the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3 to understand how God orchestrates the shifting seasons of our lives. We often want to stay on the "mountaintops" of blessing and joy, but our faith is truly formed in the valleys of suffering and uncertainty. Whether you are in a season of growth or a season of endurance, this message offers a powerful reminder that while our circumstances change, our God remains the same.   In this episode, you will hear about: The Author of Seasons: Understanding that seasons are not accidents, but are built into the design of creation. The Purpose of Trials: How hard seasons refine our character and build a trust that prosperity cannot. Lessons from the Wilderness: What we can learn from Israel's journey and Joseph's betrayal about God's ultimate plan for good. The Power of Waiting: Why waiting on God is not inactivity, but "trust in motion." The Unchanging Anchor: Finding hope in God's constant love, truth, and promises regardless of your current situation. Scripture Highlights: Ecclesiastes 3:1 – "There is a time for everything..." Psalm 118:24 – "This is the day that the Lord has made..." Philippians 4:11-13 – Learning the secret of contentment. Call to Action: Are you in a "searching season"? Today is the day of opportunity. We invite you to listen and discover how to respond faithfully to the season you are in right now.
