In this episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie speaks with Anne Van Leynseele, creator of Preferment, about why the traditional idea of retirement may no longer serve today's retirees. Anne believes that after decades of building careers, raising families, and meeting obligations, the post-career years should be viewed as a promotion rather than a withdrawal from life.We explore the identity challenges many people face when work ends, why so many retirees feel lost despite having financial plans in place, and how curiosity, purpose, and intentional exploration can help create a fulfilling next chapter. Anne shares practical examples of people who rediscovered forgotten passions, found new communities, and built meaningful lives around activities they genuinely enjoy.Key Topics CoveredWhy retirement was designed for a different eraThe concept of “Preferment” and what it meansIdentity loss after leaving a successful careerWhy hobbies alone often aren't enoughExpanding interests into meaningful life themesThe importance of physical, intellectual, and social engagementAdapting passions as circumstances changeRelationships and marriage after retirementLearning to say no and let go of obligationsBuilding a life based on joy rather than achievementGuest LinksWebsite: rarifiedlife.comRelated Episodes#296 - Michael Kay – Chapter X and Finding Purpose#302 - Sandy Laneville – Building Community After Retirement#312 - Marianne Oehser – Your Happiness Portfolio for Retirement (coming soon)*********************Don't forget to check out Aging With Purpose and Passion, a podcast for women over 50 navigating major life transitions.Hosted by Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, Work and Life Transition Coach, each episode brings you real stories, practical strategies, and expert insights from women who have faced adversity and created meaningful new chapters in life, work, health, and relationships.If you're feeling uncertain, invisible, restless, or ready for change, this podcast helps you gain confidence, clarity and momentum.Because your best years were never defined by your age.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes mentions of a medical emergency and a homicide. Sunday morning, and Brenda can't get out of bed. Her head is pounding hard enough that she genuinely believes she might die from it, so she turns over and doesn't get up again until one in the afternoon. She'd been retired for years by then, a daily schedule and routine filled with wine instead, and what she labeled relaxing was really drinking out of boredom. A couple of glasses had turned into a full box, then a bottle most nights, one more way to use up hours a twenty-year police career used to take up on its own. A week later, she threw that box of wine in the trash. Brenda and Coach Cole discuss: Starting the police academy, getting married, and quitting drinking, all in the same month, years apart Why retiring in 2013 removed the one thing that had kept her drinking in check Naming the voice in her head Dave, and talking back to him out loud in the car The pink cloud moment driving home along the lake six weeks after her last drink The Sunday morning hangover that convinced her she was dying, and why it became her turning point Why she filled her newly empty days with sewing for her local theater and mornings back at the SPCA And more on rebuilding her marriage and finally learning to put herself first… Ready to take the next step?

In today's episode, I sit down with Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS and ENOUGH, host of No Magic Pill, and co-founder of Morning Water and Moovlab. Blake shares how TOMS grew from a simple idea into a global giving movement, then opens up about the depression and isolation he experienced after selling the company. We discuss the achievement myth, separating self-worth from external success, and the simple practices that helped him rebuild his mental health. Blake also explains how that healing restored his entrepreneurial creativity, leading him to launch new ventures, mentor young founders, and embrace his next chapter as a coach committed to helping others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailThere may be a need right in front of you that you have not noticed yet.A child who needs to be seen.A family carrying more than anyone realizes.A moment that feels small, but could become something much bigger if you choose to act on it.In this episode of Alison Answers, Alison sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about the moment that changed the direction of his life.Luke had reached success. He had built a good life. But something still felt missing. Then one child's story opened his eyes to a hidden need in his own community and what began as one simple act of service became a movement that has impacted hundreds of thousands of children and families.This conversation is about so much more than beds.It is about purpose.It is about identity.It is about the children and families we may not see until we are willing to look closer.And it is about how serving someone else can sometimes bring us back to the part of ourselves that has felt lost.You'll hear:* How one child's need became the beginning of a global mission* Why success does not always create fulfillment* How service can shift your perspective when you feel stuck or disconnected* Why children cannot carry adult-sized problems alone* How small moments of compassion can become life-changing* What happens when your purpose grows bigger than you* How founders, parents, helpers, and leaders can struggle when their identity begins to shift* Why helping others can awaken healing, meaning, and purpose in your own lifeIf you have ever felt like you should be happy, but still feel like something is missing, this conversation is a reminder that purpose is not always found by searching harder.Sometimes, purpose begins when you notice someone else's need and decide, “Not on my watch.”Watch the full episode of Alison Answers now.In this episode:00:00 Success does not always mean fulfillment02:21 Luke Mickelson and the mission of Sleep in Heavenly Peace05:41 How Luke's story began13:57 The moment he heard children were sleeping without beds16:05 Why service changes your perspective23:43 Meeting Haley, the child who changed everything27:17 Why this became more than just a bed31:24 How the mission began to grow37:39 From local project to hundreds of chapters38:08 Reaching hundreds of thousands of children39:46 Founder syndrome and losing your identity in the mission49:33 Why being needed is not the same as being valued52:47 Redefining your role when your purpose evolves01:17:28 What to say to someone who feels hopeless01:19:19 Why service can lead to true happiness01:20:15 The power of tiny moments01:25:56 How to get involved01:29:25 Why your life and your actions matterConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacPurchase Alison's book: “The Wake Up Call”Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HEREWomen of Excellence FB group: Join HERE⚠️ Crisis Resources:Lager Counseling ServicesCall: 516-221-2123Text: (914) 363-0381Wantagh: 3408 Park Ave. Wantagh, NY 11793988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7, free, confidential)Call or text 988 | Visit 988lifeline.org

What is your true purpose—and how do you find it? This month, Anne and Frances are tackling one of life's biggest questions in search of answers for Fixers of all ages, from fresh graduates charting their first career moves to seasoned executives craving something more. In this episode, Anne sits down with Molly Graham, a former executive at Facebook and the new host of TED's WorkLife podcast, to explore what it means to pursue meaningful work and stay open to opportunities you never saw coming. They also answer a question from a new graduate about finding your purpose somewhere between work and life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Work today is a lot less stable than it used to be. Career paths that once seemed predictable are constantly being disrupted and reshaped, leaving many of us feeling unsteady. In this final episode of the Finding Purpose series, Anne and Frances are joined by Arun Gupta, CEO of the NobleReach Foundation, who has spent his career helping people find ways to serve causes bigger than themselves. Arun makes the case for why following your purpose can be a powerful antidote to instability and anxiety, and shares practical ways to discover your own purpose. Anne and Frances also reflect on what they've learned from guests throughout the series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In uncertain times, purposeful work can feel impractical and out of reach. But award-winning investigative reporter Jodi Kantor argues that meaning is both essential and available to all of us. Anne and Frances dive into the lessons from Jodi's latest book, “How to Start: Discovering Your Life's Work,” and explore practical strategies for anyone looking to chart a more purposeful career. The three also discuss two key principles for finding work that matters and challenge the idea that economic stability and purpose are mutually exclusive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a world that won't stop changing, knowing what matters most can make all the difference. Yara Shahidi and Keri Salter are a mother-daughter duo building a more inclusive and imaginative Hollywood through their production company, 7th Sun Productions. In this episode, Anne sits down with Yara and Keri at the TED Conference in Vancouver to dig into their “highest order” framework for aligning purpose with priorities. They also reflect on how purpose evolves over a lifetime and explore what today's changemakers can learn from previous generations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

LZ interviews West End leading man Bradley Jaden, recently seen as Inspector Javert in Les Misérables: The Arena Concert at Radio City Music Hall, about the show's renewed impact and Jaden's approach to portraying Javert with increasing vulnerability and a visible “slow demise.” Jaden discusses moving to New York and feeling lonely and overwhelmed by the sudden shift in attention, navigating introversion in an extrovert-facing career, losing significant weight after being told it would help his success, and living with body dysmorphia. He shares surviving a suicide attempt and how Les Mis has been therapeutic, enabling open conversations about men's mental health. They also cover his asthma as a childhood challenge that became a “superpower,” his stage name's origin, his support network, and end with a brief lyric exchange and Jaden's statement, “I… am beautiful because… I love deep.”Menu: 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:23 Mirror Check In03:44 Les Mis Resurgence05:02 New York Adjustment09:09 Introvert in Spotlight10:16 Weight and Image Pressure13:57 Stage Name Origin15:09 Career Gratitude and Growth18:53 Support Network and Mentors24:57 Why His Javert Hits Different26:58 Javert Foundations and Auditions31:57 Mental Health and Method41:30 Audience Connection and Purpose43:30 No Singing Lessons Reveal44:01 No Sheet Music Needed44:51 Finding Purpose in Small Wins45:24 First Auditions and Miss Saigon Break47:12 Les Mis Praise and Afterglow48:09 Google Rumors and Relationship Truth50:17 Learning Self Love50:39 Five Things I Like About Me53:58 Asthma Turned Superpower55:58 Rapid Fire Broadway Picks59:15 Singing Challenge and Stars Tease01:05:58 Heartfelt Wrap Up and Beautiful Because

Tiffany Vulcain grew up neglected by her parents, cycled through group homes and juvenile detention, spent her teenage years around gang life, and hit the streets on her own after turning 18 before a credit card scheme and the wrong group of people produced a five year federal prison sentence — and had to give birth in one of the most isolating and most institutionally indifferent environments available. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares what a childhood defined by neglect, group homes, and juvenile detention really produced before the streets found her, what the federal prison sentence that followed the credit card scheme actually looked like from the inside, and what being pregnant in federal prison and giving birth behind bars actually required of a woman who had spent her entire life fighting to survive systems that were never built to help her. _____________________________________________ #pregnancy #prison #truecrimestories #pregnant _____________________________________________ Connect with Tiffany Vulcain: https://www.instagram.com/tjvulcain/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Tiffany's Story 00:22 Early Life and Foster Care 01:18 Life in Jamaica vs. New York 02:10 Dysfunctional Home and Abuse 04:19 Running Away and Finding the Streets 06:11 Entering the Group Home 07:19 Freedom and Life of Crime Begins 09:40 Gang Involvement and Acceptance 10:46 Teenage Arrest and Juvenile Detention 13:13 Inside the Juvenile Facility 14:14 Returning Home and Foster Care Again 16:03 Aging Out and Exploitation 17:16 Escalating Crime and Credit Card Fraud 20:08 How the Fraud Worked 21:45 Facing the Victims 23:42 Self-Perception and Morality 24:42 Getting Caught in Virginia 27:59 The Federal Investigation 29:13 Turning Yourself In 31:28 The Plea Deal and Decision to Not Snitch 33:47 Estrangement from Family 34:15 Arrested Again While Pregnant 35:43 Experiencing Rikers Island 38:00 Sentencing and Lost Self-Surrender 40:08 Transport to MDC Brooklyn 41:40 The MINT Program and Women in MDC 43:57 Husband and Baby Plans 45:08 Giving Birth in Prison 53:16 Compassion vs. Desensitization 54:20 After Birth: Hospital and Advocacy 56:20 Baby in ICU and Special Permission 57:42 Leaving the Hospital Without Baby 01:00:42 Returning to Prison in Depression 01:02:02 Danbury Prison and Transition to Male Facility 01:04:12 Fight and Transfer to Philadelphia 01:07:23 The Shoe and Diesel Therapy 01:10:01 Flight with Chris Brown 01:11:42 Visits and Regret 01:12:24 Life in Philadelphia and Self-Discovery 01:14:00 Another Fight and Return to Brooklyn 01:15:20 Coming Home Without a Plan 01:16:00 Post-Prison Struggles and Betrayal 01:17:20 The Turning Point 01:19:20 Healing and Rebranding 01:20:14 Finding Purpose in Re-entry Work 01:22:51 Current Success and Roles 01:24:10 Message to Younger Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

What if the struggle you're in right now isn't pulling you away from your purpose... but actually helping you find it? In this episode, I'm joined by TJ Warren, a superhero-loving educator whose journey to meaningful work included 54 job applications, ten months of searching, getting let go from the post office, and eventually discovering that his own purpose was helping other people pursue theirs. Together, we're exploring what it actually means to pursue purpose rather than waiting around for it to magically appear. We talk about why your purpose doesn't have to be your profession, how struggle can reveal parts of ourselves we might never discover otherwise, and why being good at something isn't arrogant when you're using those gifts to serve others. We also dig into: the difference between purpose, vocation, calling, and a job why purpose can sometimes turn into pressure how to identify your interests, skills, passions, and values why young people shouldn't be expected to have their entire lives figured out what superheroes can teach us about using our strengths while navigating struggle and simple questions you can ask when you're not sure what you're meant to do next Maybe you don't need to find one perfect purpose. Maybe purpose is something you pursue, practice, and continue refining as you learn more about yourself and the world around you. So I'll leave you with TJ's question: What will make you put on the cape this month?   Connect with TJ: Email: manofencouragement@gmail.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/warrentj/  Connect with me: Email: support@plangoalplan.com Facebook Group: Join Here Website: PlanGoalPlan.com LinkedIn: (I post most here!) www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-mcgeough-phd-

Graham Agassiz has been one of freeride mountain biking's most influential riders for nearly two decades, but this conversation goes far beyond big jumps and Rampage. Andrew Neethling sits down with Aggy to talk about the golden era of freeride films, the evolution of social media, Red Bull Rampage, founding the FEST Series, devastating injuries, losing close friends, becoming a father, and how his definition of success has changed over the years. They also dive into his upcoming film Made by Mountains, why the mountains continue to inspire him, and the lessons he's learned about fear, risk, mental health and building a meaningful life beyond competition. Whether you're a lifelong freeride fan or simply enjoy honest conversations about growth and resilience, this is one you won't want to miss.

What happens when the toolkit that built your success stops working for the life you actually want to live? In this episode, Brad Cooper sits down with Kathy Robinson — former Wall Street veteran and chief audit executive turned author and coach — for a wide-ranging, rabbit-trail conversation about reinventing the next phase of life.After 33 years in corporate (18 on Wall Street, 15 at a Fortune 250 company), Kathy walked away at 55 — a full decade before she'd planned. Here she unpacks the messy, unmapped "liminal space" between chapters and why high achievers can't think their way through it: they have to feel their way forward.Along the way, Brad and Kathy dig into doing "the wrong work the right way" versus "the right work the wrong way," why success can be the very thing that traps us, how longevity has quietly rewritten the entire retirement playbook, and why the smartest move isn't burning the ships — it's running parallel until you're certain. Whether you're 37 or 72, dreaming of "someday" or standing at the edge of a leap, this conversation offers a grounded, honest map for finding purpose in the years you didn't used to count on.Kathy's advice for anyone feeling the pull but held back by responsibility: stay until you're certain, don't do anything reckless, and remember — it's not binary.Website:  https://athenawellness.comFree PDF: The Sage Discovery Kit: A Field Guide to Your Future SelfBook:  Walking with the Sage, A Story of Leaving Everything to Find MoreInfo re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.YouTube Coaching Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelContact us: Results@CatalystCoaching360.comTwitter: @Catalyst2ThriveWebsite: CatalystCoaching360.comIf you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is a wonderful group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more.

I'm welcoming back filmmaker Simon Esler, who first appeared on this podcast back on episode 54 to discuss his documentary Cut: Daughters of the West. This time, we're diving into his new docuseries You Are Here, which explores the landscape of cognitive warfare—the idea that human cognition itself has become the most contested territory in modern conflict.We start with the chilling case of Barry Neufeld, a Canadian school board trustee who was fined $750,000 for refusing to believe that children can be born trapped in the wrong body—what the judge's ruling called "existential denialism." From there, we explore how Canada's human rights laws and conversion therapy legislation have embedded gender identity ideology into the legal framework, silencing detransitioners and punishing dissenters. Simon and I discuss how our minds are conditioned by narratives we've never examined, how meta-perceptions warp our view of political opponents, and what Iain McGilchrist's work on brain hemispheres reveals about Western cognitive vulnerability. We also get into the concept of cognitive entrenchment, moral inversion, and the historical parallels between modern ideological capture and ancient child sacrifice in Carthage. Simon shares what's next for his series and talks about the Reclaiming Birth Conference, where he's working to empower families to take back sovereignty over pregnancy and birth.Books mentioned in this episode:The Screwtape Letters by C.S. LewisRange: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David EpsteinThe Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchristSimon Esler is a committed defender of families & the lost art of free thought. A winding career path as an actor, theatre maker, ordained minister and mindfulness entrepreneur lead him to becoming a professional content creator & independent filmmaker. His latest docuseries, You Are Here - Reconnaissance for the War on Perception, is now streaming at dauntlessdialogue.com. The rest of Simon's work can be found at simonesler.com, where he hosts an array of films, series, courses & resources focused on leveraging the pressures of modern war to foster personal growth and collective resilience.To partner with Simon's Leaving the Line Studio for content creation, filmmaking, and brand strategy check out his full portfolio.Reclaiming Birth Conference: reclaimingbirthconference.com — a conference in Canada in September focused on empowering families around natural birth; Simon is emceeingX (Twitter): @SimonEslerInstagram: @simon_esler1111Substack: Simon Esler / Subversive Clarity[00:00:00] Start[00:01:27] Cognitive Warfare as the New Battlefield[00:03:10] Barry Neufeld and the SOGI 123 Curriculum[00:05:15] Fined $750K for "Existential Denialism"[00:07:57] Gender Identity as Compelled Religious Belief[00:10:11] Canada's Human Rights Laws and Bill C-16[00:13:18] Gender Identity as a Shield Against Accountability[00:19:17] Detransitioners Silenced in Canada[00:24:33] Recognizing Our Own Cognitive Conditioning[00:28:06] How Media Narratives Mirror Personal Anxiety[00:29:45] Meta-Perceptions and the 400% Violence Gap[00:35:32] What Is Fifth Generation Warfare[00:40:01] Moral Inversion Through Cognitive Manipulation[00:47:25] Cognitive Entrenchment and Thinking Outside Your Domain[00:49:18] When Ideological Capture Endangers Children[00:53:31] Child Sacrifice in Carthage as a Modern Warning[00:59:05] Collective Morality and Centralized Culture[01:02:34] The Reclaiming Birth Movement[01:08:47] Finding Purpose in Defending Free ThoughtROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Is it possible to have a career that fulfills you and also brings you joy? My guest, Stephen Shortt, is here to answer that question. Stephen Shortt is an Irish entrepreneur, speaker, and career expert known as the HAPPY People Guy. His mission is simple: to make the world a better place with happy people in fulfilling, rewarding careers. He built the HAPPY framework not as a product, but as a lifeline — during a period when things weren't going the way he wanted, and he needed to figure out what actually mattered. Drawing on psychology, behavioral science, and hard experience, he distilled it into five elements: Highlights, Appreciation, Progress, People, and Your Contribution. The core idea is that happiness is progress towards purpose.  Through the HAPPY People Project, Stephen runs workshops and speaks at conferences, helping high achievers stop chasing the wrong finish line — and get clear on what they actually want, not just what they think they're supposed to want.  He's a member of Entrepreneurs' Organization, a former GSEA Global Chair, and runs ETC Consult in Dublin. He lives in a three-generation home with his wife and two daughters — and is quietly building the life on his own Happy Life List. He founded the Happy People Project and created the Happy Work Life MAP, a framework to help individuals and teams align work and life by design, not by default. In our episode today, Stephen unpacks the framework of his Happy Work Life MAP and how he specifically helps individuals and teams. He is also a career and talent specialist as well as a family business facilitator.    CONNECT WITH STEPHEN  Website - https://happypeopleproject.com / stephenshortt.com   CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – info@debironca.com Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial   Check out my online course!

Throughout their conversation, Mia shares how her faith guided her through uncertainty, how she learned to recognize her purpose, and why surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people can make such a difference when rebuilding your life. What begins as a story of heartbreak becomes a story of transformation, a reminder that even after devastating loss, we can rise from the ashes, find renewed purpose, and discover that we are buried, not broken.  Mia is the author of Buried, Not Broken: A Memoir of Survival, Sisterhood, and Starting Over, a moving memoir about survival, sisterhood, faith, and rediscovering hope after profound loss.   ABOUT MIA GODFREY: LinkedIn – Mia Godfrey Website – Scribbled Pages Book – Buried, Not Broken: A Memoir of Survival, Sisterhood, and Starting Over ABOUT SWEET BUT FEARLESS: Website - Sweet but Fearless LinkedIn - Sweet but Fearless

Episode 4119: Joshua Becker explains why enjoying your work has far less to do with the job itself than with how you think about it, pointing out that two people in the same role can feel completely differently about it. He walks through seven steps, from recognizing that humans are built to work to releasing the pursuit of riches, that can turn an ordinary job into a real source of purpose and personal development. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/enjoying-9to5/ Quotes to ponder: "This is helpful because it means enjoying work has less to do with your actual job and more to do with your attitude towards it." "Changing our attitude towards work is often far easier than changing jobs." "While honest compensation should always be sought with both humility and pride, the pursuit of riches and wealth as an end goal is always a losing battle."

Erico Montalvo grew up in Rhode Island without a father in the picture and a mother too consumed by the streets to be present — and by the time the system found him he had already cycled through juvenile detention multiple times and built an identity that the streets had shaped long before he was old enough to understand where that path was going. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what happened just days after he turned 18 — an accidental altercation with a veteran that turned into a self-defense situation that ended in the veteran's death — and what being charged with murder instead of recognized as a victim of circumstance actually produced over the ten years he spent fighting his case from inside a Rhode Island county jail before finally taking a manslaughter plea deal and accepting a 13 year sentence. _____________________________________________  #prison #selfdefense #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & HIMS for sponsoring this episode: Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Connect with Erico Montalvo: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicoStillMadeit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ricostillmadeit/ Website: https://linktr.ee/Ricostillmadeit _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Guest Introduction 00:22 Early Life in Providence 02:00 Mother's Mental Health & Upbringing 03:13 Father's Deportation 05:00 Feeling Like an Outsider as a Kid 07:36 First Wrong Turns & Finding Identity 10:31 Gang Culture in Providence 16:00 Homelessness & Juvenile Detention 19:27 Getting His GED in Juvenile 21:00 Sponsor Segment: Factor Meals 23:07 Turning 18 & a Spiritual Warning 28:00 Close Calls on the Streets 30:40 The Night of the Incident 37:22 Fight, Stabbing, and Escape 43:03 Learning the Victim Died 43:50 Realizing the Victim Was a Veteran 47:00 Hiding Out and Seeking Help 50:03 Getting Arrested 52:54 Interrogation & Initially Charged with Murder 01:00:00 First Lawyer & a Broken System 01:05:59 Meeting Dawn Huntley, a New Lawyer 01:09:32 Adapting to Prison Life 01:13:00 Finding Faith in Prison 01:21:00 Starting to Turn His Life Around 01:30:00 Facing a 60-Year Offer 01:37:00 COVID Stalls the Case 01:41:00 Considering Trial 01:49:00 A Shocking Plea Deal: 25 Years with 3 to Serve  01:55:50 Walking Through the Sentence 02:03:11 Release and Adjusting to Freedom 02:08:00 Finding Purpose and New Community 02:14:20 No Regrets and a Mission _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Marci gets real about what it's like to be a mom whose kids are growing up and moving out. With six kids and nine grandkids, she knows firsthand how hard (and rewarding!) it is to raise a family—and how empty the house can feel when everyone leaves. In this conversation, Marci opens up about the messy emotions of the empty nest, the struggles (and surprises) of launching kids, and why perfection isn't the goal. She talks about learning to let go and trusting God with the next chapter.  If you're facing your own “year of lasts” or wrestling with what comes next after parenting full-time, Marci's story will remind you that God still has a good plan for you—no matter what season you're in.

In the final part of this Mike Drop conversation, Prime Hall traces his path from military transition into deep psychological healing. He details his first 5-MeO-DMT experience, a profound "hard reset" that showed him both the devastating and the redemptive paths his life could take, and how it launched an unexpected connection to Mike Tyson and Tyson Ranch. Prime opens up about the harder road that followed—relapse, medication struggles, and losing two close friends to suicide within days of each other—and how ayahuasca, integration therapy, and a structured approach to plant medicine helped him rebuild.

Success can look complete on the outside and still feel painfully empty within. Tom Cronin spent years immersed in the high-pressure world of finance, surrounded by money, achievement, pleasure, and external validation. Beneath that success, however, he was struggling with severe anxiety, depression, substance use, and a growing sense that his life was moving further away from who he truly was. In this episode, Tom joins Dr. Dan to share how a personal crisis led him to meditation… and how stillness transformed his relationship with fulfillment, adversity, and himself. Tom is a meditation teacher, transformation coach, author, and the writer and producer of The Portal, a documentary following six people who discover healing and transformation through meditation. He explains why a crisis can become an opportunity for growth, why external achievements rarely create lasting contentment, and how meditation helps us access the peace that already exists within us. Tom and Dr. Dan also explore the difference between taking action for fulfillment and acting from fulfillment. They discuss the higher self, the importance of experiencing emotions rather than avoiding them, and how greater self-awareness can create more compassionate families, communities, and leaders. Crisis can become a catalyst for growth. Painful experiences may create opportunities for greater awareness, healing, and personal evolution. External success cannot guarantee inner fulfillment. Money, recognition, possessions, and achievement may provide temporary pleasure, but they rarely create lasting peace. Meditation helps us act from fulfillment. When our actions begin from peace and wholeness, we become less dependent on outcomes to determine how we feel. Difficult emotions are part of being human. Rather than numbing, avoiding, or spiritually bypassing uncomfortable feelings, we can learn to witness and experience them with awareness. Going inward strengthens our connection to others. Recognizing our shared humanity can inspire greater compassion, kindness, leadership, and care for the world around us. Small commitments to stillness can create meaningful change. Two 20-minute meditation sessions can begin shifting how we respond to stress, uncertainty, and daily life. For more information visit TomCronin.com and follow @tomcronin on Instagram.

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of unanswered prayers or unexpected detours, this conversation is for you.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1478DM Simon Sinek recounts his harrowing experience on 9/11, compelled afterwards to leave advertising for more meaningful work. He recalls New York's initial unity fading as people reverted to old patterns when the crisis passed. Sinek explains humans struggle with long-term thinking, wired for instant gratification versus imagining distant retirements. He notes tangible threats finally spur changes, like near-death moments exposing mortality. Sinek highlights why elderly individuals share unfiltered wisdom, liberated from others' opinions with finite time left. He advocates storytelling transfers life lessons without requiring firsthand trauma to incite growth. Overall, Sinek criticizes shortcut mentalities that waste foundational wake-up calls once threats subside. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brian Fromm sits down with pastor and author Seth Troutt to discuss his new book, Authentic Masculinity: Leaving Behind the Counterfeits for God's Design.

In today's episode, I sit down with former UFC star and professional boxer Jorge Masvidal, founder of Game Bred Fighting Championships, to talk about what it takes to stay hungry after success. We discuss the mindset that carried him through a long fighting career, the health habits he wishes he had embraced earlier, and the emotional reality of walking away from competition. Jorge also shares why family, faith, and purpose have always driven him more than money, how he found a new mission as a promoter, and the unforgettable story of surprising his father with a classic Shelby Mustang that meant far more than the car itself.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You are a seasoned and established leader, and opportunity knocks at your door for another level of authority.    What happens if you say yes to your next transition in leadership? My guest, Amy Throw, answered this call and is here to share her experience. Amy has spent over 15 years in the styling and fashion industry, helping women build confidence, poise, and influence by aligning who they are with how they are experienced in every room they enter.    Although widely recognized as an expert fashion stylist and Executive Presence Coach, she joins us today to pull back the curtain on a different kind of transformation. A significant leadership transition. Recently, a promotion took her from leading a team of 20 to directing 56 people—many of whom had just been her peers. For a leader naturally wired for fast-paced action, this next chapter demanded a complete shift in mindset.  She had to intentionally slow down, reshape her rhythm, and learn to cast a higher-level vision while developing leaders who could grow their own teams with clarity. Amy understands that even the best of leaders have seasons of growth, and her story will inspire you to take that next step and increase your level of impact not only in your life, but in those you are called to lead.    CONNECT WITH AMY Website: https://www.cabionline.com/?pws=styledwithsoul Coaching Website: http://www.amythrow.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/styledwithpurposebyamy/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/styledwithpurposebyamy   CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – info@debironca.com Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial   Check out my online course!

Mike Winner spent a decade DJing Hollywood clubs before turning toward the infrastructure of digital freedom — founder of WINNR Digital, co-founder of the decentralized internet Qortal, and co-founder of the Music & Sky festival. Returning for the first time since 2022, he brings a caution aimed squarely at his own community: purity spiraling, the habit of turning discernment into a cage where every meal, every device, and every dollar becomes a moral exam. Real sovereignty, as he frames it, is less glamorous and far more demanding. It is what you actually own, what you actually think, and the responsibility you refuse to outsource. Nobody holds dominion over all of reality. What you do have is the choice to stop leaking your life into systems that were never yours.(00:00) Nature vs Nurture Cold Open(00:34) Opening Conversation(02:54) Meet Mike Winner(06:19) Imposter Syndrome and Finding Purpose(09:00) Community Healing and Analog Revival(11:47) Building a Sovereign Ranch Hub(14:50) Tech Detox w/o Purity Spirals(17:55) Parenting in a Digital World(25:09) Junk Food Nostalgia and Balance(32:42) Manifestation and Mastering Mind(39:28) Entrepreneurship In The Arena(41:39) Leaving AlphaVedic For Growth(46:22) Cinema As Modern Myth(53:19) NPCs And Ideological Capture(57:47) Building Qortal And NuQloud(01:02:15) PMA and Living Sovereign (01:07:06) Walmart / Amazon Discernment(01:11:45) Nature Is Metal(01:22:00) Barefoot Hiking & Peru Porters(01:28:05) AI And Slowing DownGuest Linkshttps://mikewinner.comThe GNM Weekend — October 9–10, Los Angeles (use code HFTT10)Connect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetFollow us on InstagramJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch All Episodes

Wright about navigating seasons of transition, uncertainty, and spiritual preparation. Using the disciples' journey between Christ's resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they explore what God may be doing when His promises seem delayed.The disciples moved from questions and doubt to proclaiming Christ with extraordinary power and conviction. What happened during the time between those two spiritual milestones? They waited, prayed, obeyed Christ's instructions, and allowed God to prepare them for what was coming.Joshua and T.S. explain why waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. God uses them to deepen our roots, mature our faith, test our motives, and develop the character required to sustain the calling He has placed upon our lives.In this episode, you will discover:Why God frequently prepares His people through seasons of waitingHow the disciples moved from uncertainty to Pentecostal powerWhy immediate gratification works against patience and spiritual maturityHow comparison, pride, and selfish ambition create discontentmentThe difference between doing something “for God” and walking obediently with GodWhy believers must surrender their plans, timing, and personal agendasHow to remain faithful when God appears silentWhy every breakthrough may lead to another season of preparationThe Christian life is not about forcing doors open and then asking God to bless our decisions. It is about daily surrender—trusting God's goodness, obeying His direction, and allowing Him to receive all the glory.Scriptures and biblical themes discussed include Matthew 28, Acts 1–2, Philippians 2, perseverance, contentment, dying to self, the Great Commission, and the Day of Pentecost.Learn more about T.S.

One conversation can change the way you see violence, healing, and hope. Danny Ramos shares his extraordinary journey from gang life and a life sentence to becoming a leader helping create safer communities through compassion, connection, and second chances. Inspired by his mother's unwavering love and belief in him, Danny transformed his life and discovered a purpose far greater than his past.  Now serving with Uncornered, Danny explains why lasting change begins with trust, belonging, and opportunity. This powerful conversation explores breaking cycles of violence, the impact of mentorship and community, and the reminder that no one is beyond hope when someone chooses to believe in them.  Key Takeaways:   Healing begins when someone believes in your potential, even when you cannot see it for yourself.   Violence is often rooted in a lack of love, connection, and purpose, making community an essential part of lasting change.   Real transformation happens through trust, mentorship, and opportunities that empower people to rewrite their story.   Compassion and curiosity can break cycles of violence more effectively than judgment or isolation.   Every person has the power to create meaningful change by choosing empathy, building relationships, and believing that no life is beyond redemption.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities. If you're looking for trusted financial wellbeing resources, we invite you to connect with their team and take the next step toward greater financial confidence.  About Daniel Armando Ramos:  As External Relations Manager, Danny Ramos bridges the gap between the two distinct groups at Uncornered essential to transforming communities: active gang members and the partners who have the power to invest in them. After being involved in street violence from a young age, Danny went to prison for murder at just 16 years old. Through the 22-year sentence that he served, he discovered firsthand that the ability to be vulnerable about his past and his actions was his true turning point. By embracing this vulnerability, he realized that being a gang leader was not the only leader that he could be. Today, he models this new standard of leadership for Uncornered, leveraging his deeply rooted relationships to help others see that the skills used to lead on the streets can be entirely redirected to peace-building. He believes that lasting public safety begins with investing in people, and that relationships, not programs, are the foundation of meaningful change.   Danny's path to leadership is a powerful testament to personal transformation and unwavering commitment. Born and raised in the Kansas City area, his 22 years of incarceration became the landscape for a profound shift, with the painful loss of his mother and the grounding presence of his faith serving as the ultimate catalysts for his change. During this time, Danny committed himself to higher education, recently graduating from Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). He often reflects on a quote that defined his trajectory: "The accomplishment of our goals pales in comparison to the person that we become in pursuit of them." While his initial goal was simply trying to get out of prison, his deep commitment to that pursuit entirely reshaped him, allowing him to emerge as a completely different leader and person. Today, Danny has been with Uncornered for three years and lives in the Kansas City area, where he is a devoted husband to his beautiful wife, Ana, and a proud father to twin boys.  Connect with Danny Ramos at:  https://uncornered.org/  https://www.youtube.com/  https://www.instagram.com/uncorneredus/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  https://www.youtube.com/@smallchangesbigshiftsco    Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
