Bridge Method: Build Your Dream Life Without Burning Everything Down October 31, 2025 | Episode 5215 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel stuck where you are but terrified to make a move because you might lose everything? You're not alone. Scott's seen it happen too many times. People so desperate to build their dream life that they torch their current one. Credit cards maxed out. Relationships destroyed. All because they didn't have a plan. The Bridge Method changes that. It's about getting from here to there without burning down your house in the process. Scott breaks down the three foundations you need before you make any big move. And yeah, the first one isn't sexy at all. But it's the only way this works. What happened when he stood at the Hoover Dam in 2008 changed how he coaches forever. Featured Story You ever been so ready to change something that you'd do anything to make it happen? Scott's had clients lie straight to his face about it. They want the coaching. They want the change. So they say everything's fine financially. Then six months later? Thirty grand in credit card debt. All to pay for something that was supposed to make their life better. That's when it hit him. Standing at the Hoover Dam years ago, watching them build a bridge across that massive gap. Two solid foundations on either side. And a carefully constructed span connecting them. Your life works the same way. You can't just leap across the canyon and hope you make it. You need foundations. You need a plan. You need to build the bridge first. Important Points Why building a "peaceful base" where you are right now is the unsexy first step that prevents you from crashing everything later. The nursing career story that shows how to map your future foundation before you quit your current job or go into debt for change. Why most people spend all their time dreaming about the future or stressing about today but never build the actual bridge between them. Memorable Quotes "I have seen a lot of folks so anxious to go someplace else and do something else that they crash everything today to get there." "We need to build a foundation for where you are today. Your foundation is a peaceful base." "You're going to do this anyway. You're from here and you're going to go there. In between, you got to figure out how to get there. Scott's Three-Step Approach 1. Fortify your current foundation first—take away the stress, make sure you can pay your bills, get your goals aligned, and create a peaceful base before you try to go anywhere. 2. Define your future foundation clearly—know exactly what it's going to take to get there (certifications, training, costs, timeline) so you're building toward something specific. 3. Build the bridge span with a realistic plan—map out how you'll pay for it, how long it will take, and the hundred little things you need to figure out without messing up your peaceful base.

The one to the north. The World Series. The two baseball writers discuss whether the Los Angeles Dodgers, who may not be ruining baseball, might just be ruining the National League. The Dodgers are playing for their ninth World Series championship -- a total that would tie them with the Boston Red Sox and Nomadic Athletics. It would also put them three titles shy of leapfrogging the Cardinals' historic trademark trait and overtaking them as the pre-eminent National League team when it comes to trophies. Author of "The Grandest Stage: A History of the World Series," Kepner offers perspective on the Dodgers' chances while also detailing what this World Series means to Don Mattingly and how the Blue Jays can overtake the favorites from Hollywood. There is a story about an autographed baseball, too. To quote Kepner: "Cue that jaunty music." Kepner joins the Best Podcast in Baseball from Toronto, where he's covering the World Series as a senior writer for The Athletic and baseball writer for the New York Times. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
Let's face it. Most of us aren't Olympians. We're parents and people with full time jobs, and we're not in our twenties any more. But we still want to get the best out of ourselves every time we train and line up at the start. What's the best way to do that? Today we are going to talk to John Davis, coach and writer, who holds a PhD in human performance. His new book is called Marathon Excellence for Everyone and I'm going to ask him if everyone really can be excellent at it. We also talk about: Regular runners can get really good at the marathon, How advances in science have made massive changes in the sport, and We'll go over some marathon training myths and mistakes that might be costing you minutes While we don't get into the mental side of training in this conversation, don't worry, I've got you covered for your next race with my new Find Your Flow State Audio training series.

Sean Smith is back for another discussion, and today, he talks about building a trusted network and keeping your freight secure in a market full of fraud, fake carriers, and last-minute chaos! Sean breaks down why a strong, relationship-driven carrier strategy is the best defense against fraud and service failures, moving 85% of his freight through a core group of trusted carriers, how tools like RMIS and private load boards automate vetting, boost efficiency, and keep trusted carriers in the circle, while we're recognizing the fact that technology alone can't beat fraud, and how carrier segmentation, automation, and transparency tools help brokers scale without losing control or quality!

October 5th, 2025 | Fortify | 1 Corinthians 13:4-7In this heartfelt and practical message, Pastor Matt Darby brings clarity and hope to one of the most universal struggles in marriage: conflict. As we close out the Fortify series, this episode explores a truth we all face—conflict doesn't mean your marriage is broken, it means you're both real people. The key? It's not if you fight… it's how you fight.Rooted in the agape love described in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Matt teaches us how to fight fair—not to protect our pride, but to protect the relationship. This kind of love is patient and kind. It doesn't boast, keep score, or rejoice when the other is wrong. It always protects, always hopes, and never gives up.In this episode, you'll discover:Why conflict can either drive us apart—or draw us closerWhat it looks like to fight for each other, not just with each other“Rules of engagement” rooted in Gospel love: patience, kindness, humility, and graceHow to protect your spouse's weaknesses instead of exploiting themWhy the hope of Jesus gives every marriage a chance at restorationWhether you're married, preparing for marriage, or navigating hard conversations in any relationship, this message will give you tools to love well—even when it's tough.

The United States is willing to “fortify” South Africa as it has moved from “latent fragility to being very fragile” and “moving in the direction of failure”. However, it would need to see “positive steps” and “genuine earnest attempts” from SA. So says a former diplomat to both the National Party and the African National Congress governments, Dr Edward Mienie, who is now a professor with the University of North Georgia in Atlanta. “I've never seen…the diplomatic relations between the two countries at such a low point - even during the dark years of Apartheid.” Dr Mienie says President Cyril Ramaphosa is viewed as a leader who is “taking care of his own interests, taking care of the ANC first and foremost, taking care of those that support him personally within the structure”, but not as taking care of the interests of all South Africans. Meanwhile, he expresses concern about how the ANC government would react towards an outright loss in the next general election. “And I'm even more concerned about who's going to be taking over as the ruling party at that stage.” He urges the Democratic Alliance to take “a stronger stance, to embrace morals and ethics in a more visible way”

If you've been running for any length of time, you know that running is as much mental as physical. Maybe more. After all, it doesn't matter how strong your legs are if your mind quits before the finish line. Today's episode is about learning to view your running in a completely different way, as a practice, not a test. You'll learn: why hitting your paces in a workout doesn't mean what you think it means, how letting go of control, just a little, can actually make you better, and how to turn any bad run into a good one. This episode is about your mindset about training overall. If what you really need is a targeted approach to conquering race day doubts, I'm creating something just for you.

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed into law one of the biggest environmental policy overhauls in decades, a package of six bills aimed at meeting California's ambitious climate goals — while making housing and electricity more affordable. The new legislation lays out a plan to reduce consumer electricity costs and harden the state's energy grid; it also insulates utility providers from wildfire liability and incentivizes oil and gas companies to remain in the state. We take a closer look at the changes and trade-offs and what they mean for you. Guests: Guy Marzorati, correspondent, KQED's California Politics and Government Desk Ethan Elkind, director of the Climate Program at the Center for Law, Energy and the Environment, UC Berkeley School of Law; host of the podcast, "Climate Break" Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into how the words we use—and the stories we tell ourselves—can silently wreck our health. Host Avik sits down with Stacey and Justin, the powerhouse duo behind Fortify Health Coaching, to explore how language shapes physiology, why high-performing women often live in unrecognized survival mode, and how changing just one word can shift your nervous system from chaos to calm. From the concept of the “stress bucket” to a practical “Should Detox” word game, this conversation offers deep insight and real tools to help listeners reclaim mental, hormonal, and physical balance—without adding more to their to-do list. About the Guests:Stacey and Justin are the founders of Fortify Health Coaching, specializing in guiding high-performing women through stress regulation, hormone balance, and mindset transformation. With a blend of neuroscience, functional health, and language awareness, they offer tools that are actionable and sustainable—not fluffy. Key Takeaways: Mindset = the story you tell yourself, and words are its building blocks. Negations like “don't” and “should” trigger the brain's stress response. “Survival mode” can feel like normal—until the body crashes. Real transformation often starts by doing less, not more. The nervous system is the link between thought and physiology. The “Should Detox” exercise shifts internal pressure into empowering action.

The truth is running is actually quite good for your knees, but try telling that to a runner with knee pain. After all, it's called “runner's knee” for a reason. It's clear that our knees can be a weak point, especially as we age. So what can we do to ensure that we can run pain-free as long as possible? Let's find out. On today's show, I'm joined by doctor of physical therapy, Katherine Campbell You'll learn: Why the structure of our knees can lead to pain, despite our best efforts, How we can strengthen our entire body to avoid knee pain in the first place, and She'll even reveal how to improve with your lunges and squats, even if they cause you pain right now. So if you're a runner with knees, they might just be a little stronger by the end of this episode. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

This week: Venus makes sweet music with Mars, enters Virgo, and finds beauty in unexpected places with Uranus. Mercury aspects serious Saturn, enters diplomatic Libra, gives voice to Neptune, and gains inspiration from Uranus before getting down and dirty with Pluto. The Sun's face-off with Saturn dominates the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse at the intense 29th degree. And there is so much to cover in the sky this week that there was no time for a listener question - but look for an answer to a listener question about a Mercury Retrograde-ish eclipse, on Big Sky Astrology's YouTube channel!

Sep. 15, 8:04 pm PDT, 25º51' Leo-Libra), unlocking inspiration, stirring attraction, and providing financial motivation. The Sabian symbol for Venus is 26 Leo, A rainbow, and Mars is on 26 Libra, An eagle and a large white dove turning one into the other. [4:03] Mercury opposes Saturn (Wed. Sep. 17, 10:47 am PDT, 28º46' Virgo-Pisces), on the Sabian symbols 29 Virgo, A man gaining secret knowledge from a paper he is reading and 29 Pisces, A prism. Reviewing our goals and the stories we tell about them. Delays in travel possible, along with discouraging news. [6:10] Mercury enters Libra on Thu. Sep. 18 (3:06 am PDT, through Oct. 6), and communication is characterized by grace, balance, and tact. An excellent time for negotiations, handling difficult interpersonal situations, persuading others to see things your way. Avoid argumentativeness. [7:35] Mercury opposes Neptune on Thu. Sep. 18 (3:01 pm PDT, 0°53' Libra-Aries). Strong intuition, ideal for artwork, love, spiritual pursuits, but less suited for logic or analysis. [8:29] Mercury trines Uranus on Thu. Sep. 18 (9:52 pm PDT, 1°23' Libra- Gemini). The desire to feel free to say exactly what's on our mind can lead to ill-advised blurting, but it's also a transit of awakening and clarification. [9:50] Mercury trines Pluto on Thu. Sep. 18 (11:27 pm PDT, 1°30' Libra-Aquarius). Mercury with Pluto brings up stark truths we need face. This is a transit of profound insight if we're willing to confront those realities. [11:20] Venus enters Virgo on Fri. Sep. 19 (5:39 am PDT, through Oct. 13). Venus is traditionally in her fall in Virgo because she is exalted in the opposite sign, Pisces. Venus in Virgo favors healthy food, tools, and organizational supplies. Socially, Venus here favors casual, low-key get-togethers, ideally outdoors. [12:55] Venus squares Uranus on Sat. Sep. 20 (8:41 am PDT, 1º22' Virgo-Gemini. The Sabian symbol for Venus is 2 Virgo, A large white cross upraised; Uranus is on 2 Gemini, Santa Claus filling stockings furtively.

Sep. 21 (12:54 pm PDT, at 29º05' Virgo, and it's a Solar Eclipse. The Sabian symbol for this eclipse point is 30 Virgo, A false call unheard in attention to immediate service. Communication, thoughts, and even movement have extra power around this time. [18:20] The New Moon point is trine Uranus, so the changes associated with eclipses could arrive suddenly or unexpectedly. An eclipse that's close to the South Node in Virgo emphasizes endings, release, letting go, being a little bit too perfectionistic or judgmental. Move toward the Pisces North Node's acceptance and willingness to go with the flow. [19:35] Solar Eclipses repeat on about the same day of the year and close to the same degree of the zodiac every 19 years. Previously, there were Solar Eclipses near this point on Sep. 22, 2006, and on Sep. 23, 1987. [20:34] This is the New Moon in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that will unfold over the coming three years.

Sep. 21 (12:54 pm PDT), the Moon in Virgo conjoins the Sun. It's VOC for 1 hour 47 minutes and enters Libra (2:41 pm PDT).

August 24th, 2025 | Fortify | 1 Corinthians 16:13-14In this bold message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues the Fortify series with a deep dive into what it truly means to "act like men." In a culture that's confused about masculinity, Pastor Todd brings clarity through Scripture, calling men to embrace biblical manhood rooted in responsibility, strength, humility, and love.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we explore four key commands that define godly manhood: Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be strong, and let all you do be done in love. This message isn't just for men—it's for women who want to pray for their husbands, raise godly sons, and recognize the traits of a man worth marrying.This isn't a call to passivity or domination—it's a call to Christlike leadership. Men who follow Jesus don't just flex muscles—they carry burdens, lead with integrity, and love sacrificially.It's time to stop settling for cultural manhood and start pursuing the kind of strength that changes generations.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

You've got a plan. You've got your motivation. You even start strong. And then… life happens. Work runs late. Stress spikes. Travel throws you off. A single “bad day” turns into a lost week. Sound familiar? Here's the truth: most people have an offense for their goals — the plan, the schedule, the structure — but no defense for when things go sideways. And that's why you keep tripping over the same obstacles again and again. In this episode, I'm going to show you: Why your goals collapse when the unexpected happens (and why “try harder” isn't the answer) How you already use defense strategies in everyday life without realizing it The “luminol moments” that reveal your weak spots — and how to fortify them Real-life examples of personal defenses that keep you on track no matter what Your plan can't just work when everything goes perfectly. It needs to work when life punches you in the mouth. And that's what building your defense will do.
Russian officials say a top priority at Friday's Trump-Putin summit is normalizing U.S. relations on topics beyond Ukraine. That concerns European officials, who consider Russia a long-term threat. With support from the University of British Columbia’s Global Reporting Program, Nick Schifrin spoke with Estonia’s defense minister about the Baltic nations’ fortified border with Russia.

Jocelyn Benson just might be wired differently. She's run around 40 marathons with no specific training, very few rest days, mainly just for fun. She even ran one 8 months pregnant. And oh yeah, she also happens to be the Michigan Secretary of State. How and why does Jocelyn Benson train the way she does with such a high-profile career? Let's find out. We talk about: How running came into her life and why she still does it, How and why she chose to run the Boston Marathon 8 months pregnant, and Why she shows up at local 5ks to run and talk with everyday people about the big problems to solve If you're worried this episode might get political, no need. We stick to running, but no matter what your personal views are, I'm convinced you will find Jocelyn to be inspiring. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

The most important concept of all in long distance running is undoubtedly pacing. Learn to control your pace and you will control your race. You'll learn: a universal strategy to pace your workouts and races how pacing can be applied to strength training and nutrition, and how this same strategy can be applied to your long term running goals and even the rest of your life. I am not exaggerating when I say that pacing is a fundamental concept that has the power to improve everything in your running and perhaps even your life. After I explain how, you might just wonder why you haven't thought of it before. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

Wasn't sure if it would be for vegan runners or exactly how it might connect with me. I loved it! Coach Claire Bartholic's voice and background music are very easy to listen to. I especially liked her thoughts about result based goals vs process goals. Definitely adding this to my weekly playlist! Highly recommended.” UH_Fridge Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
