Branden Hudson hosts a solo “Champ Talk” episode focused on motivation and personal development, asking listeners to share, subscribe, and leave reviews while noting the show is free and unsponsored. He references Ed Mylett's four phases—motivation, inspirational, aspirational, and “awesome”—and explains that motivation is only the starting point; long-term change requires habits and discipline. He discusses how people further along in their journey often forget how hard “day one” is and criticizes simplistic advice like “just take action,” emphasizing that change is simple in concept but not easy. Drawing from his own experience—including incarceration for selling large amounts of marijuana, quitting weed to avoid relapse into old patterns, and distancing from certain circles to rewire habits—he describes how drastic events can create motivation but aren't required. He suggests finding purpose by eliminating distractions, practicing solitude and boredom, journaling to clarify motivations (including his desire for his kids and others to be proud of him), and getting into rooms with higher-level people or supportive groups to learn, gain perspective, and uncover blind spots. He highlights the value of in-person communities like gyms and jiu-jitsu for diverse connections and respectful disagreement. He also recommends daily reminders (sticky notes, screensavers, aspirational images) to stay on track during motivational “waves,” using a tax-season car sales analogy to stress doubling down during peaks. He closes by reiterating that consistency and identity-based habits drive progress, and again asks listeners to share, review, and consider what they're doing today to become a champion.00:00 Welcome and Support00:31 Motivation Starts Change02:14 Habits Beat Motivation04:06 Four Pillars Overview06:33 Forgetting the Beginner08:31 Why Taking Action Is Hard09:34 My Turning Point11:16 Cutting Dependencies and Circles14:13 Find Purpose in Silence16:10 Proving Them Wrong17:24 Fuel From Haters18:12 Solitude Over Stimulation19:11 Journal Your Why20:08 Pride As Purpose21:36 Get In Better Rooms27:21 Find Your Audience30:13 Jiu Jitsu And Respect32:44 Ride The Motivation Wave35:27 Discipline And Wrap Up

Jason Abreu grew up in a good family, on track to become a lawyer, until the recession blew up his plans and pushed him into the New York City nightlife scene. What started as legit nightclub promoting slowly turned into moving drugs through NYC clubs, big money, fast nights, and a double life he thought he had under control. Then undercover cops took him down, and Jason was sent to New York state prison. He got out, went right back to the game, and got caught again, earning a second trip upstate. In this episode, Jason sits down with me and breaks down exactly how it happened: the first bad decision, how the nightclub world really works, the rush of easy money, the takedown, and what New York state prison is actually like on the inside, from daily politics to survival _____________________________________________ #NYC #NewYorkStatePrison #PrisonLife #UndercoverCops #DrugDealing #NightclubCrime #TrueCrime #prisonstories _____________________________________________ Thank you to 300 LETTERS for sponsoring this episode: Visit http://300letters.org/ to learn more or get support.

There are transitions in life that bring a lot of pain, sorrow, and trauma. These transitions of loss are the most difficult to navigate, and for that reason, I invited Marie Crews to be my guest today. In 2017, Marie lost her son suddenly, less than 2 years after her mother's unexpected passing. Even in her darkest hours, she refused to let grief define her.    In this episode, Marie shares: How does writing help uncover patterns and beliefs people don't even know they're carrying? What role do hidden beliefs play in emotional pain? And how can someone begin to rewire them to build clarity, confidence, and self-trust? How can people who feel the guilt and pressure to grieve “the right way” give themselves permission to grieve differently? Why are all-women's retreats such a powerful space for healing, and what happens there that can't happen in everyday life?   Her persistence in rising from profound loss, combined with years of coaching experience, uniquely qualifies her to guide women with compassion, courage, and hope. She does this all through Retreats and workshops that are centered on helping women process loss.   Connect with Marie: Website: www.mariecrews.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marieeurecrews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@empowermentandgriefguide   CONNECT WITH DEBI Do you feel stuck?  Do you sense it's time for a change, but are unsure where to start or how to move forward? Schedule a clarity call!

When we make mistakes or take a wrong turn, it's understandable that our first move might be to blame others, or try to defend ourselves, or do all we can to avoid the feelings of shame or disappointment that come our way. What those responses do, though, is close us off to our human capacity to learn and to be creative in the midst of our difficulties. So what does it take to turn towards the 'holes we fall into' with a kinder, more expansive spirit, and to grow ourselves a little bit bigger so we can respond? And, perhaps most importantly, what does it take to do this not on our own, but together with others?In our conversation we talk specifically about Turning Towards Life - Live - Season 2, which begins in March 2026.This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.Episode Overview00:00 Introduction to Turning Towards Life03:01 On Reflection and Learning05:46 Exploring Portia Nelson's Poem09:11 Personal Reflections on Mistakes and Relationships11:58 The Importance of Responsibility and Kindness15:07 Navigating Relational Patterns and Habits17:56 The Power of Choice and Agency20:53 Understanding the Dynamics of Relationships23:50 Finding Purpose in Conversations26:46 The Role of Community in Growth29:54 Conclusion and Invitation to Join the JourneyThis is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Finding purpose and direction is less about searching outside ourselves and more about remembering who we are and what truly matters. I've learned that purpose often reveals itself quietly through moments of curiosity, service, struggle, and reflection, rather than through grand declarations. When we slow down and create space to listen, we begin to recognize the patterns, passions, and values that guide our path forward. Living with purpose doesn't mean having every step mapped out; it means choosing alignment over confusion and intention over obligation. I will share how allowing direction to unfold with clarity, trust, and grace, will guide us to the destiny God ordained for us.
