Busyness can create the illusion of progress, but movement alone doesn't mean you're moving in the right direction. This Empowering Moment challenges you to take an honest inventory of the areas that matter most—your faith, relationships, finances, health, thinking, and use of time. When your intentions and your actions tell two different stories, an honest evaluation can reveal where recalibration is needed.CONNECT WITH CT JOHNSON

Progress doesn't always require adding something new; sometimes it requires releasing what has become unnecessary weight. This Empowering Moment examines the habits, distractions, relationships, and commitments that may be consuming valuable time, energy, and attention. As you reset for the second half of 2026, consider a critical question: What are you still carrying that no longer deserves a place in where you're going?CONNECT WITH CT JOHNSON

In this deeply impactful episode of the Forged in the Fires Podcast, Fireman Rob sits down with John Miles—a Naval Academy graduate, combat veteran who served in Iraq and the Balkans, former CIO of Dell, EVP/COO/CDO at Catalina Marketing, serial entrepreneur, and founder of multiple purpose-driven companies.But above all else, John will tell you his greatest accomplishment is being a father.In this raw and reflective conversation, John shares a powerful story of feeling invisible in his own life—despite massive professional success—and how that realization changed his trajectory forever. He also opens up about experiencing invisibility as a child after suffering a severe head injury, and how those early challenges shaped his drive, resilience, and lifelong pursuit of meaning.This episode dives into identity, significance, leadership, and the truth that success without alignment can leave you empty. John breaks down what it means to live intentionally, matter deeply, and design a life that reflects who you truly are—not just what you achieve.If you've ever reached a milestone and still felt something was missing, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Kilian Korth joined the show to have a discussion around ultrarunning's growing professionalization without sophisticated regulated drug testing, the limits and trade-offs of WADA/USADA-style regimes, and why "doping" as a blanket term obscures intent and severity. We unpack gray areas such as THC thresholds, TUE complexity for common medications, transparency vs backlash, influencer incentives, and the future pressure regenerative medicine and technology (e.g., super shoes) may place on sport rules.

Sparked by recent doping-related controversies (Cam Hanes / Sage Canaday online conflict, Mike McKnight's discussion of BPC-157 use on Hanes' podcast). Both emphasize moving beyond narrow focus on specific peptides/cases to broader structural issues. Activism, incentives & tribalism Skepticism of modern activism: good causes often get distorted by perverse incentives (attention, platform growth, organizational self-preservation/mission creep). Online environments (especially short-form social media) reward polarization over curiosity or truth-seeking. Parallel drawn to low-carb diet advocacy: movement shifted from exploration of pros/cons toward dietary supremacy and identity attachment. Both hosts value changing one's mind with new evidence and prefer evolving conversations over tribal "debates" aimed at winning. Core problem in ultrarunning Rapid professionalization and financial incentives exist, but sophisticated testing (especially out-of-competition) is essentially absent. Honor-code system + high rewards creates conditions in which some athletes near the top are likely to use PEDs. Contrast with Olympic sports (e.g., swimming) where positives occur even with lower financial stakes. "Doping" is an unhelpful blanket term that equates intentional, high-impact cheating (e.g., EPO) with gray-area or accidental cases. BPC-157 and gray areas BPC-157 is an experimental peptide with very limited human data (one small study of 12 people among 36 total studies reviewed). Anecdotally has been used for tendon/muscle healing; on the WADA banned list at all times (no TUE pathway currently). Gray areas exist in WADA criteria themselves (performance enhancement potential, health risk, "spirit of the sport"). THC example: banned in-competition with a relatively high threshold; removed alcohol from the list is an example of changes over time. Distinction between letter of the rules vs. moral/cosmic fairness; between intentional advantage-seeking and medical/recovery use. Testing realities & practical challenges Full USADA/WADA-style regimes require whereabouts reporting, out-of-competition testing, and significant lifestyle constraints (conflicts with the free-spirited, remote nature of trail/ultrarunning). Even gold-standard systems have loopholes (missed whereabouts, remote camps, short-acting substances timed around sleep windows). Half-measures are expensive, burdensome, and unlikely to deter determined cheaters. Middle-of-pack and age-group athletes face different calculus; many use legitimate medications (inhalers, etc.) that may or may not require TUEs depending on type and dose/threshold. Possible paths forward discussed Transparency and honesty should be encouraged rather than punished (both hosts respect that Hanes and McKnight disclosed BPC-157 use). Practical ideas: Optional "non-competitive / open" checkbox so athletes using regulated substances can still participate without affecting results/records. Tested vs. non-tested divisions (bodybuilding-style model). More education needed around legitimate medical use (TUEs, Global DRO checks). Focus should prioritize the small professional/elite tier where financial and competitive incentives are highest over age-group minutiae. Future regenerative medicine and longevity interventions will force further adaptation; sport has already accepted large performance gains from technology (super shoes) more readily than internal/medical ones. Influencers & broader culture Influencer economy adds complexity: financial incentives to promote products or share experimental practices; difference between sharing personal experience vs. recommending use. Transparency with clear caveats is preferred; pure anecdote-driven advice remains problematic. Societal issues (tribalism, algorithmic incentives, low scientific literacy) make clean solutions difficult inside a small niche like ultrarunning. Closing notes Both stress nuance over black-and-white absolutism Conversation aims to push the sport toward honest discussion of incentive structures rather than endless case-by-case outrage. Kilian's Substack article ("The Run Tough Mindset") and upcoming documentary Forged in Failure are referenced as related material.

Danil Chernyshev: Forged in the Fire—Why the Scrum Master Role Tests Even Experienced Leaders Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "From my story, you can probably say that I was forged in the fire." - Danil Chernyshev   Danil had already climbed the ladder. He started with Scrum in 2010 as a developer, grew into a development manager, and reached executive level, running a department of 70 developers in his home country. Then he immigrated to Canada and had to start his career fresh. Certified by Scrum.org as both Scrum Master and Product Owner, the first role he landed was Scrum Master—and that's where the trouble began. He knew SDLC inside out, he knew how developers think, he knew Scrum from the trenches. What he didn't know was how to be a servant leader: how to balance serving and leading, how to measure his own success, how to even notice the small wins. After years at the top, he was suddenly the person who knew the least. In this episode, Danil shares why he stayed in the role instead of walking away—he loves building processes that help teams evolve, and he couldn't resist a real challenge. His advice to anyone at that same crossroads: be patient, reflect, build a feedback loop, and never stop learning. A certification proves you understand the base theory. Everything that matters comes after.   In this episode, we refer to the Tuckman model of team development, and how the storming phase tests every team—and every newcomer.   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you were the person on the team who "knew the least"—and what did that teach you about your own growth?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Episode 4185 │ July 19, 2026 Washington said his men called themselves an army the way lumber calls itself a house. Unprepared for war with Britain — less one thing: their faith. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Rochelle Porto fill the gap between Lexington and Concord in April 1775 and the Declaration of Independence in July 1776 — the period nobody covers and everyone skips — tracing the Battle of Quebec in the December blizzard that killed Richard Montgomery, wounded Benedict Arnold before his betrayal, and left 400 American prisoners in British hands, alongside the prohibitory acts of December 1775 that blockaded every American merchant vessel at sea and led John Adams to declare that Britain had effectively declared independence from the colonies before the colonies declared it from Britain. The centerpiece of the episode is the Noble Train of Artillery — Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey from Cambridge to Fort Ticonderoga and back, 59 pieces of heavy ordnance including a 5,000-pound brass cannon named Old Sable, moved by 60 men, teams of horses and oxen, across frozen rivers and mountain ridges through the same blizzard hitting Quebec, resupplied at every town by committees of safety who knew the convoy was coming and had fresh animals, food, and shelter waiting at each stop. The episode closes with Scott mapping the three pillars of colonial intelligence and organization — the Mechanics network, the committees of safety, and the Black Robe Regiment — against the current moment, arguing that the ragtag colonial force Washington inherited was the same structural problem America faces today, and that the difference between defeat and the crossing of the Delaware is almost always logistics, intelligence, and the willingness of ordinary people in ordinary towns to show up when the convoy passes through. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Why did the American invasion of Quebec fail — and what does the combination of a December blizzard, expiring enlistments, the death of Richard Montgomery by grapeshot, Benedict Arnold's leg wound, and 400 prisoners reveal about the structural limits of a colonial army organized by popularity rather than competence? What were the Prohibitory Acts of December 1775 — and why did John Adams call them Britain's own declaration of independence from the colonies, given that they placed a death sentence on every American merchant vessel at sea and made reconciliation structurally impossible? What made the Noble Train of Artillery succeed where the Quebec campaign failed — and what does Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey, never losing a cannon, an animal, or a man, reveal about the role of the committees of safety as the logistical backbone that made every patriot operation in this period possible?

CONTENT WARNING: Themes of suicidaility and drug use  Back in Newcastle for the weekend, I jump in the car and let the city tell the story. We drive past the places that shaped me, from the University of Newcastle and the pressure of honours, to the Mater Hospital where survival became the priority. It's a raw, real-time reflection on what it's like returning to the streets that forged you.Along the way I talk about living with ADHD, autism and borderline personality disorder, and how that mix can fuel loneliness, validation seeking and the feeling of never quite being enough. I also unpack the reality of drugs and alcohol, not as a way to have fun, but as a way so many people try to cope, function and simply make it through the day.We finish down at the beaches where I used to do some of my deepest thinking, reflecting on social anxiety, recovery, and the strange feeling of loving your hometown while knowing you had to leave it to survive.If this episode resonates with you, I'd love it if you subscribed, left a rating, and shared it with someone who might need to hear it.--Follow The Dysregulated Podcast: Instagram – @elliot.t.waters Facebook – The Dysregulated Podcast YouTube – The Dysregulated Podcast (Official Channel)Created by Elliot Waters — Inspired by lived experience.

What if the rejection you've been trying to recover from has been shaping your greatest strength all along?In this episode of Living Content, I share one of the hardest seasons of my adult life - a season marked by uncertainty, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and prolonged rejection. It was a time that tested my hope, my faith, and my sense of self, but it also became the place where resilience, self-respect, and an unshakable belief in my own worth were forged.If you've ever felt overlooked, unchosen, excluded, or like you've had to build your own table because no one invited you to theirs, this conversation is for you.Together, we'll explore why rejection doesn't define your value, how difficult seasons can prepare you for what's ahead, and why some of the greatest strength we carry is born from the hardest chapters we've survived.This episode also includes reflective journaling prompts and a weekly affirmation to help you process rejection, rebuild your confidence, and reconnect with your worth.If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that their worth has never been determined by someone else's acceptance.Keywords: healing from rejection, overcoming rejection, resilience, self-worth, emotional healing, personal growth, faith, identity, confidence, self-leadership, journaling, Living Content Podcast.

This week Jay sits down with Jaden from West Elk Precision to nerd out on all things custom rifles, precision shooting, and long-range hunting. Jaden shares his journey from a Colorado kid hunting with a factory Remington 700 to attending gunsmithing school and launching his own custom rifle shop focused on the rapidly growing pre-fit barrel market. They dive deep into the philosophy of building the perfect hybrid hunting/competition rifle, the rise of the 25 Creedmoor, and why negative comb stocks are going to change the way hunters shoot.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your factory Tikka with a pre-fit barrel, trying to figure out barrel break-in procedures, or just want to know how to build a better shooting position using a tripod as a rear rest, this episode is packed with actionable advice for the precision-minded hunter.

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:(00:32) A government minister has informed the nation that average teacher pay in England is around £54,000. Radio 4 listeners are howling at the radio in disbelief. Surely someone from the IFS would be able to explain all this? We interview someone from the IFS to explain all this.(06:32) A headline in the Independent suggests that Russian soldiers survive an average of 20 minutes when they get to the front line, citing a historian, citing Russian bloggers. Is the number a good one? We take a peek into the murky information ecosystem that surrounds the war in Ukraine.(15:00) A loyal listener has resent a burning question that - mortifyingly - he first asked us nearly three years ago: why is air travel cheaper than rail travel? We push our guilt deep, deep down then make it worse by challenging the premise of the question. (21:18) Is every shuffle of a deck of cards an unprecedented event in the history of the universe? It's a bold claim, but maths YouTuber and comedian Matt Parker has done his homework. We invite him into the studio to make his case - and show off his shuffling skills.More or Less is the programme that looks at numbers and statistics in news and in life.

Professor William Taubman, guest author, recounts how the assassination of JFK forged a deep, "opaque" bond between McNamara and Jackie Kennedy, as he spent the night following the murder sitting at her feet while she recounted the tragedy. Despite his grief, he immediately transitioned to serving Lyndon Johnson, who relied on McNamara's "tone for action" to justify the escalation of the Vietnam War. McNamara became the fiercest public advocate for the war, often suppressing his own growing doubts to please a commander who, unlike Kennedy, did not tolerate dissent.

What if your greatest spiritual danger isn't before your breakthrough but after it? This week, we continue our Forged in the Fight series by looking at Joshua 6–7 and the story of Achan. Israel experienced one of the greatest victories in Scripture when the walls of Jericho fell, but hidden compromise turned that victory into defeat. We explore how comfort can convince us the fight is over, how what looks like a reward can actually be bait, and why old habits continue to follow us when we refuse to put them to death. God didn't just want Israel to win a battle, He wanted them to win the war. The same is true for us today. Don't let yesterday's breakthrough become tomorrow's trap.

After seven straight weeks of guiding spring black bears in British Columbia, Jay sits down with Mindful Hunter Outfitting guide Dimitri to wrap up the season. It was a grind of a year — 18 clients, endless rain, and some truly brutal pack-outs — but the final tally tells the story: 11 bears killed, 3 wounded, and 6 missed. In this episode, Jay and Dimitri break down the week-by-week action, from tracking down a 20-year-old toothless boar to packing out triple-digit loads in the dark. But the most important takeaway from the season is a harsh reality check on hunter marksmanship. They discuss why a 50% hit rate is probably the industry average, the importance of practicing off-hand and uncomfortable shots, and the controversial fact that every single miss in camp this year came from a hunter using a chassis rifle. The bottom line? Stop worrying about upgrading your gear and start putting in the reps.

Ryan Blaney joins Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi live from Naval Base Coronado – where NASCAR somehow convinced the U.S. Navy to let them turn an active military base into a racetrack. The guys share their first impressions of San Diego, debate what it actually takes to win on a brand-new street course, and how far back SVG needs to start to give everyone else a shot. They also reveal what their call signs would be if they were stationed here – you'll laugh out loud at Jordan's. Ryan is sitting third in points with the playoff cutoff approaching, so where does he think a driver needs to be to realistically contend for a championship? Some say top six … but not Ryan Blaney. The mustache is real, it's magnificent, and Roger Penske had thoughts. Ryan tells the story.
