Podcasts about Four Pillars

After the massive breakthrough of Night One—two funerals, the collapsing skyscraper, the dissolving of old fears—I walked into Night Two believing the work was done. I felt complete, emptied, reborn. I even considered not drinking at all. But Ayahuasca loves to laugh at certainty, and the shamans gently suggested a tiny “check-in” dose. Just a sip. Just enough to see if anything remained. Fifteen minutes later, the medicine hit me with the force of a spiritual hurricane. What followed was not enlightenment. Not beauty. Not cosmic revelation. It was overstimulation on a scale I had never experienced—violent fractals, exploding geometry, unraveling mandalas, and the infamous Transformer-Mickey-Mouse-Jiffy-Pop-Clown-Show that appears when the mind begins to collapse under its own fear. My nervous system short-circuited. My breath vanished. My intention dissolved. Everything became too loud, too fast, too much. And the only thing attacking me was my own resistance. Guided to the “bad boys' corner” of the maloca, I spent hours trapped in a visual and emotional hurricane, praying for release and finding none. No purge. No relief. No escape. Just chaos. Shame. Fear. A distorted carnival spinning out of control. Until one quiet moment changed everything. When I finally remembered the real question—the IRS question, the Dragon's question:Hmmm? What is actually happening here? What is this showing me? The answer landed like a whisper:Time. Your forgotten ally. Your secret weapon. The truth that dissolves all suffering.This too shall pass. The visuals didn't stop. The nightmare didn't soften. But my relationship to it changed. And the instant fear lost its authority, Grandmother stepped back in respect. She hadn't been punishing me. She had been teaching me the one lesson I didn't know I still needed: Nothing permanent can harm you. Only fear convinces you otherwise.Everything—anxiety, worry, panic, uncertainty—is just passing weather. In this episode, I take you inside the hardest night of my life, a night where the medicine became the mirror, the storm became the teacher, and time revealed itself as the true healer. Through Alan Watts, the IRS, and a collapse that turned into clarity, this chapter is a reminder for anyone drowning in fear: It's rarely the situation that hurts us. It's the meaning we've assigned to it. And when we zoom out—beyond our stories, beyond our worries, beyond this tiny spinning rock in a universe of trillions—everything softens. Everything shifts. Everything passes. Night Two wasn't a failure.It was the teaching beneath the teaching.The darkness behind the breakthrough.The reminder I didn't want… but desperately needed. This too shall pass.And the next morning, Day Three began—with sunlight, stone ruins, grounded earth, and a much-needed return to the outside world.

Training Analysis and Methodology Discussion Louis discussed his new YouTube channel with Sonny Pazikas and Josh DeWalt, which focuses on analyzing the state of the training industry and providing reaction videos to violent encounters from a different perspective. They aim to discuss training methods without promoting their own companies, and recently defended a mutual friend's drill video against internet criticism. The group discussed the importance of understanding the "why" behind training methods, contrasting with the internet audience's focus on immediate results. Professor shared the concept of "The Four Pillars of Fighting" (mindset, tactics, skill, and gear) as a framework for understanding different approaches to self-defense training. Firearms Training Mindset Evolution The group discussed the disconnect between people's stated priorities and their actual actions, using the example of Jerry's transition from firearms training to diving instruction and subsequent return to firearms training due to controversy. They explored the concept of mindset in firearms training, contrasting the approach of those who focus on tactical skills and split times with those who emphasize practical, real-world applications like cover and movement. The conversation concluded with a discussion about military-style qualification processes and their relevance to firearms training, highlighting the differences between institutional approaches and practical, skills-based training methods.

I'll be breaking down the age-old question: "What makes wine good?," and sharing my 'four pillars of place' to help you start to build your good wine vocabulary.  0:39: Breaking down 'good wine.' REmember, wine is an agricultural product. Let's set the stage for practical, place-based approach to wine. 1:12: Why 'terroir' matters + the 'pillars of place.'  1:51: Pillar 1: Soil type.

Climate influences fruit ripeness, acidity, and aromatic profile. Cool climate = fresh, high acid; warm climate = ripe, fruity, plush. 3:23: Pillar 3: Elevation and aspect. Elevation affects temperature swings (diurnal shifts). Sunlight, rainfall, and altitude shape ripeness and freshness. 4:33: Pillar 4: Vine health and farming. Farming practices (organic, biodynamic, low-intervention) matter. Yield, canopy management, and vine age influence quality. Winemakers' traditions are the key expression of terroir. 5:25: Deep dive: soil as the "starting palette" for winemaking. 6:10: Deep dive: climate and elevation's impact on wine aciditiy and aromatics.  7:52: Deep dive: farming practices and the importance of winemaking traditions 9:55: Wine as an agricultural product, and my appreciation for farmers 10:56: What's ahead on wine week!

In this episode, Larry and Cody break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in sales and coaching: trust. Before any certainty can be built — before someone can believe you, follow your guidance, or buy from you — they must trust you. The conversation begins by clarifying why trust must precede certainty, and why even the most logical clients won't hear you until they first believe in your intentions.  They then dive deep into the Four Pillars of Trust: propriety, commonality, credibility, and intent. Using detailed examples — from the impression your clothing makes, to how you relate authentically to clients, to knowing when to confidently say “I don't know” — the hosts show exactly how coaches, trainers, and service professionals can earn trust intentionally rather than hoping it forms by accident. These are the same interpersonal skills that separate average coaches from professionals capable of leading meaningful behavior change.  Finally, Larry and Cody discuss the real-world application of these pillars inside Active Life's coaching and enrollment systems. They talk about how intent shapes energy, how desperation can be sensed even subconsciously, and how the best sales conversations come from unbiased advocacy — guiding people toward the right solution, not just a sale. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: mastering human connection isn't just good for business — it's essential for becoming a true professional. 

Let's be honest — most accountants wing their sales calls. I used to be one of them. In this episode, I walk you through the process I now follow to consistently convert high-value clients, without giving away free advice or wasting time on tyre kickers. You'll discover: → The 3-step framework I use to filter, run, and close sales meetings → Why giving a price live in the meeting changes everything → How to position yourself as the expert (so you're not haggled on price) → Why your marketing needs to do the heavy lifting before the call I also share behind-the-scenes stories from recent calls I've had — including how we signed a £2.5k client with under £50k income, just by showing value. If sales calls feel awkward or hit-and-miss, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a repeatable process you can use straight away.

Josh Phegan, joins FOUNDIT's DAYZERO to discuss leadership, systemisation, and high-performance routines.   Josh, who works with elite agents and brands globally, details the Four Pillars of Knowledge every professional must master and reveals how the best CEOs transition from day-to-day hustle to strategic growth.    He explains why the true value of a buyer's agent lies in skill and transactional knowledge, not off-market access, and the vital rituals high-performers use to sustain peak performance and energy.

Today, Jesse is joined by Dr. Phil Pearlman—psychologist, behavioral finance veteran, and founder of the Pearl Institute—for a conversation about how long-term health and long-term wealth are two sides of the same coin. Together, they explore why the holiday season, while full of joy and connection, is also the unhealthiest stretch of the year for most Americans—and how small, deliberate choices can reverse that trend. Phil shares his "four pillars of health"—nutrition, exercise, sleep, and love/community—alongside his own powerful story of addiction, recovery, and rediscovering the athlete within. From the parallels between compounding habits and compounding returns to the dangers of "energy toxicity" in modern diets, the discussion connects physical and financial wellbeing through the shared principles of discipline, awareness, and intentional living. Phil explains why cutting alcohol, prioritizing protein, and starting with just one sustainable habit—like morning walks—can transform both body and mindset. Throughout, Jesse and Phil remind listeners that you only get one body, one life, and one chance to invest in both wisely. Key Takeaways: • Health and wealth are interconnected — both require discipline, patience, and compounding habits to create long-term success. • Nutrition is the top priority; you can't "out-exercise" a bad diet, and most health challenges begin with poor food choices. • Alcohol is one of the biggest barriers to health, harming sleep, metabolism, mood, and long-term physical wellness. • Phil's personal transformation—from addiction and poor health to sobriety and vitality—shows that renewal is always possible. • Morning walks are a high-impact, low-barrier habit, improving mood, metabolism, and sleep cycles. • Community and connection are health essentials, not luxuries; love and belonging strengthen both body and mind.

Welcome to the final episode in Gospel Spice's series, "Identity in the Battle." Stephanie draws from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, with a primary focus on what it means to know and live out our identity in Christ, especially amidst spiritual warfare. This serves as a conclusion to the study on our identity in Christ and how that shapes our engagement in spiritual warfare.Ephesians: Tone & ContextStephanie emphasizes two critical ways to approach Ephesians:Mature Tone: Unlike Paul's other letters, Ephesians is deeply theological and not focused on addressing specific church problems. Instead, it equips believers for mature faith, acknowledging life's difficulties, but encouraging us by affirming that victory in Christ is already secured.Context: Paul writes from prison (likely AD 62), aware these may be his final words to the church in Ephesus. Despite his chains, he speaks with gentle affection, offering encouragement and a desire for continued connection.Four Pillars in Paul's Farewell (Ephesians 6:23–24)Paul concludes with four key blessings:Peace: A deep, abiding peace (shalom) from God.Faith: Assurance in the unseen, a call to trust God in uncertainty.Love: Love that unites the community.Grace: The foundation for all Christian living.Paul challenges us to let these words be the flavor of our own walk with Christ and to root ministry and relationships in love and grace.The Spiritual BattleEach believer has a choice—either to remain bystanders or to take up their place in the spiritual battlefield. Importantly:Jesus' love is not lessened by our reluctance, but we are invited to participate in battle for the sake of others, including addressing evils like human trafficking.The enemy (Satan) is not complacent, so we must not be either. Knowing the victory is won should lead not to laziness, but to courageous engagement.Our battle is never against people, but against evil and spiritual forces. With people, we are to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, kindness.Handling Conflict in the ChurchStephanie points out that disagreements among Christians are inevitable. The priority is always reconciliation, but when that's not possible, it's best to move aside while continuing to pray blessings over one another, remembering that we are all fighting the same spiritual war.Five Steps for Engaging in Spiritual WarfareBecome aware of the spiritual realm.Train up: Study scripture, pray, and fellowship.Stand firm: Hold your ground in Christ's strength.Resist the devil: Persevere with God's might, not your own.Train others: Help disciple and equip younger believers.True Identity in ChristThe reality of our identity is found in the fullness of Christ. Everything—our calling, purpose, and ability to overcome—flows from knowing who God is, what He has done, who we are in Him, and what we are called to do.We are the inheritors of a deep legacy of spiritual riches and calling. So, root your life in the peace, faith, love, and grace found in Christ, remember your true identity, and take your place in the spiritual battle with courage.As the series ends, Gospel Spice invites everyone to "taste and see that the Lord is good," step boldly into battle, and empower others to do the same.Reflection/Response:-          How do Paul's final words in Ephesians inspire you to engage the spiritual battles you face today?-          What does it look like for you to stand firm in your identity in ChristEnjoying these reflection questions?

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.  Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.  So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with $10 or $25 a month, by example, or you can make one donation, once.And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it.Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.  So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward ?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice. Ultimately, you are giving back to the Kingdom, a portion of what Jesus has given you. We are well aware of the privilege to steward your partnership. And my prayer is always that you will find your own life spiced with the gospel as you partner with us to flavor the lives of those around us, near and far, with the spice of the gospel.We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.Go to gospelspice.com for more, and go especially to gospelspice.com/podcast to enjoy our guests!

We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.  Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.  So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with 10, 25, 50, 100, a month, or you can make one donation, once.And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it.Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.  So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Simone Gibertoni, CEO of Clinique La Prairie, for the launch of our new Lessons In Longevity series. This is a powerful conversation about what longevity truly means today—and why it's no longer about “anti-aging,” but about living better, longer, and with intention. For nearly a century, the Swiss institution has been a leader in preventative medicine, and under Gibertoni's guidance, it has evolved into a global ecosystem built on personalized diagnostics, science-backed interventions, and deeply human care.Gibertoni shares how the rise of epigenetics has transformed our understanding of health, revealing that up to 80% of our outcomes are shaped not by genetics, but by lifestyle. At Clinique La Prairie, advanced testing—spanning epigenetics, metabolomics, and glycan mapping—guides individualized programs designed to shift habits, improve resilience, and create measurable change. But data, he insists, is only the beginning. “Information is not transformation,” he says. Real longevity comes from routines, structure, and the human relationships that support long-term growth.The clinic's Four Pillars approach—medicine, nutrition, movement, and well-being—reflects his belief that aging is multi-dimensional. Stress reduction, emotional vitality, and purpose are as essential as biomarkers. This philosophy extends into Holistic Health™, the clinic's line of precision supplements, including Epinone, formulated to support gene expression and cellular repair through structured, cyclical use.This episode reframes longevity as a mindset grounded in science, culture, and connection. Tune in to hear how Simone Gibertoni envisions a future where living well isn't a luxury—but a lifelong, human-centered practice.Learn more and shop Clinique La Prairie Holistic Health.CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:04 – The Origins of Longevity at Clinique La Prairie2:30 – From Anti-Aging to Longevity Philosophy3:31 – Genes, Epigenetics & Lifestyle Impact6:51 – The Longevity Process: Diagnostics, Intervention, Follow-Up9:26 – From Information to Transformation11:27 – The Four Pillars of Longevity13:26 – Closing the Gap Between Lifespan & Healthspan20:02 – Supplements, Science & The Future of LongevityPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

Collin Ship built his YouTube channel for one purpose: drive qualified leads into his business. He wasn't trying to grow an audience or chase viral moments. He wanted a predictable system that pointed people toward his offer. And it proved how effective a small channel can be when it's built the right way. Collin took an "unsexy" niche (blogging) and paired it with a search-driven YouTube strategy built entirely around keywords, intent, and simple videos that matched what people were actually looking for. That combination led to a multi-7-figure business powered by steady, targeted traffic. In this episode, Collin breaks down the framework that fueled early traction, the surprising advantage YouTube gives new creators that Google doesn't, and why staying niche made sponsorships and affiliate deals far more lucrative.    Key Takeaways 00:00 Intro 01:22 Blogging Isn't Dead - $1.2M in 18 Months 05:23 Why Personal Branding Holds You Accountable 09:56 Using YouTube Strictly for Lead Generation 12:35 YouTube Keyword Strategy That Drove Early Growth 15:17 Does Going Broad on YouTube Hurt Lead Quality? 17:47 YouTube Publishing Frequency – The Sweet Spot 18:18 Why Long YouTube Videos Build Massive Trust 19:11 Make Your Free Content Better Than Paid 19:46 The Four Pillars of YouTube Monetization 21:35 YouTube Channels That Land Affiliates & Sponsors 26:19 Intent vs. Interruption Content Marketing 27:12 Using Paid Ads AND Organic Content to Scale 28:16 How to Run YouTube Ads Without Being Punished 31:20 Getting 6,000+ Leads per Month From YouTube 32:45 The Pros/Cons of Becoming Internet Famous 34:12 Where AI Fits in Your Content System 39:54 The Biggest Mistake People Make with AI 40:49 How He Revived His Offer With an AI Rebrand   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/li6jI6YsT3A   Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

In this episode, Mark Raffler and Bridget Rieth connect with longtime Kent ISD mentor & author, Ellin Oliver Keene.  Ellin's book, research, and leadership around student engagement inform the topic of today's podcast.  Engaging Children addresses the ongoing challenges and payoffs of centering student engagement as a foundational priority in classrooms and schools. Regardless of grade level or curriculum, students who connect to classroom experiences in meaningful ways are more likely to retain and reapply their learning. Engaged students want to show up and want to learn. They have a greater sense of belonging in the school community and are more able to connect their learning to the outside world in which they live.Ellin Keene discusses defining and teaching engagement, student-centered practices and ownership, and measuring, discussing, and prioritizing engagement within required curriculum.Here are some highlights from our conversation: Engagement is Essential for Retention and Reapplication: The data on learning loss without engagement is "shocking," showing that only between 15% and 20% of kids will carry learning forward if they are not engaged. Educators must prioritize engagement because it directly determines whether students retain and reapply knowledge across time intervals.Distinguish Between Teacher Motivation and Student Ownership: Motivation is often perceived as something adults do to children, while engagement is something students own, work on, and reconnect themselves with. Teachers need to move away from being constant promoters and instead teach students how to be metacognitive about their engagement, enabling them to recognize when they are disengaged and take action to re-engage.Utilize the Four Pillars of Engagement: The four pillars-Intellectual Urgency, Emotional Resonance, the Aesthetic World, and Perspective Bending-provide educators and students with a common, shared language for discussing true engagement. Educators should talk about engagement spontaneously and in a planned way, literally naming the type of engagement when it emerges in the classroom to help students wield it as a powerful learning tool.Student Choice and Ownership is Critical: Choice serves as a hallmark of a student-centered classroom that yields better results. Without choice throughout their day, students are unlikely to remember and reapply what they are taught, which creates tension when teachers must adhere closely to required scripts. Utilizing materials that students love and aesthetically respond to is a powerful way to foster engagement and ownership.Prioritize Fidelity to the Standard Over Materials: Educators are critical thinkers who should use their artistry to make discerning decisions, supplementing or replacing required tasks, like repetitive graphic organizers, that cause student disengagement. Teachers should also focus on skills grounded in research and adjust instruction accordingly.Concluding with our normal podcast protocol, we ask for resources for educators to learn more about Engaging Children, Igniting a Drive for Deeper Learning.

Understanding the Corporate Entity: A Deep Dive into Business LawThis conversation delves into the essential concepts of corporate law, focusing on the formation, governance, and legal implications of corporations. It highlights the significance of limited liability, the role of state law, particularly Delaware's influence, and the responsibilities of promoters. The discussion also covers the critical doctrines surrounding corporate existence, the piercing of the corporate veil, and the importance of maintaining corporate formalities. Key cases and concepts are recapped to provide a comprehensive understanding for law students preparing for exams.Introduction: Imagine a world where businesses operate without the safety net of limited liability. This is the reality that corporate law seeks to address, providing a framework that balances risk and reward. In this post, we explore the intricate world of corporate entities, drawing insights from a comprehensive lecture on the subject.The Four Pillars of Corporate Law:Separate Legal Personality: Corporations are distinct from their owners, allowing them to own property, sue, and be sued in their own name. Limited Liability: Shareholders' risks are limited to their investment, encouraging more significant capital pooling. Perpetual Existence: Unlike partnerships, corporations endure beyond the lives of their founders, ensuring continuity. Centralized Management: Shareholders elect a board of directors to manage the corporation, separating ownership from control.The Delaware Advantage: Delaware's corporate law is renowned for its flexibility and management-friendly statutes, making it a preferred choice for incorporation. The state's specialized Court of Chancery provides a predictable legal environment, attracting businesses worldwide.Piercing the Corporate Veil: While limited liability is a cornerstone of corporate law, it is not absolute. Courts may pierce the corporate veil in cases of fraud, inadequate capitalization, or when the corporation is merely an alter ego of its owners.Conclusion: The corporate form is a powerful tool for economic growth, but it requires adherence to formalities and ethical conduct.

They explore what it truly means to age well, focusing less on resisting the passage of time and more on embracing vitality, curiosity, and joy throughout life's second half.Dr. Burnight explains why the common “decline” mindset around aging misses the full story. She shares research showing that meaningful growth, strong social connections, adaptability, and a sense of giving can shape both how long and how well we live. Dr. Burnight offers practical examples for building these habits, from maintaining friendships across generations to finding purpose in everyday acts.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Burnight urges listeners to rethink their beliefs about aging and to prepare for later life with intention. She shows that nurturing joy and purpose is just as important as physical health, and that everyone can take steps to build a more satisfying, resilient, and joyful future. Guest-at-a-Glance

This conversation was originally recorded for Modi's podcast And Here's Modi (episode #106), where Uri appeared as a guest with Arthur Luxenberg. We're honored to share it here with Modi's permission. What unfolds is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply human dialogue about fearless communication, self-acceptance, and the power of belief. Follow @modi_live and tune-in @ahm_podcast See everything Modi: https://modilive.com/ - The voice you're trying to fix might just be the one the world most needs to hear. Every pause, every stumble, every moment of silence can hold a lesson in courage. And when someone — maybe a mother, a teacher, or a grandmother — believes in you before you believe in yourself, that belief can rewrite the entire story of who you become. In this powerful conversation, Uri Schneider joins world-famous comedian Modi Rosenfeld and renowned trial attorney Arthur Luxenberg to explore how two kids who grew up stuttering learned to speak fearlessly: one on stage, the other in the courtroom. Together, they open up about the emotional and practical realities of overcoming stuttering, the lifelong process of finding your voice, and the courage it takes to keep showing up, even when words don't come easily. Today's episode is a little different than usual. It was originally recorded for Modi Rosenfeld's podcast And Here's Modi (episode #106), where Uri appeared as a guest. What unfolds is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply human dialogue about fearless communication, self-acceptance, and the power of belief.  The conversation also features a remarkable story about Uri's father, Dr. Phil Schneider, and his sacred encounters with the Lubavitcher Rebbe — a profound reminder that communication isn't only about words; it's about presence, connection, and honoring the dignity behind every voice. This episode is a reminder that our voice is never the problem. Our belief in it is. Keep talking. Keep listening. And keep transcending.   In this episode on the power of belief, we discuss: Why overcoming stuttering isn't about perfect speech, but it's about being heard The four pillars of Uri's Transcending Stuttering framework: self-knowledge, self-adjustment, self-acceptance, and self-advocacy The incredible story of Dr. Phil Schneider's speech therapy work with the Lubavitcher Rebbe after his stroke How belief from one person can change the entire trajectory of a child's life What comedians and trial attorneys can teach us about fearless communication Practical do's and don'ts for supporting a child who stutters, without shame or pressure   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction: The Fear We All Share and the Power of Belief 00:01:46 – Meet Modi Rosenfeld and Arthur Luxenberg: Two Kids Who Stuttered and Found Their Voice 00:03:45 – The Story Behind Schneider Speech and the Meaning of “Transcending Stuttering” 00:05:41 – Why Overcoming Stuttering Is About Talking More, Not Less 00:07:33 – From Silence to Self-Expression: Arthur's Journey and His Grandmother's Influence 00:12:31 – The Sacred Encounter: Dr. Phil Schneider and the Lubavitcher Rebbe 00:19:59 – What the Rebbe Taught About Dignity, Connection, and Communication Beyond Words 00:21:29 – The Four Pillars of the Transcending Stuttering Framework 00:26:40 – How Comedy, Courtrooms, and Courage Shape Fearless Communicators 00:38:28 – Practical Do's and Don'ts for Supporting People Who Stutter 00:44:56 – Why Belief Can Change a Life and How to Keep Talking Even When It's Hard 00:56:45 – Closing Reflections: The World Needs to Hear Your Voice   ABOUT THE GUEST: MODI ROSENFELD Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, Modi Rosenfeld is one of the comedy circuit's most sought after performers.

And for the world to learn to listen.” “The danger of stuttering is less about the words and sounds getting stuck. It's more about not saying what you really want to say.” “Looking in the mirror and seeing you're worth it. You're perfectly imperfect, just like every other human being. That's the way we're made.”   ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.   SEE ALL SHOW NOTES http://www.transcendingx.com/podcast LEARN MORE at http://www.transcendingx.com and http://www.schneiderspeech.com

Adam and Dave are broadcasting from the heart of Assisi, Italy—knee-deep in pilgrimage vibes with St. Francis, St. Clare, and the whole crew. They break down the "establish" pillar of fatherhood (you know, the third leg of protect-provide-establish) and get talk about turning your home into fertile soil where your family's faith thrives. Recorded right after a providential run-in with a fan who spotted Adam's voice in the wild—shoutout to Kel from Illinois!Key Highlights:Pilgrimage Gold: Fresh off praying at St. Francis' tomb and St. Clare's incorrupt body. Plus, stories of Francis dodging death in the Holy Land because even the Saracens couldn't handle his holiness. Spiritual overload = total win.The Father's Job: Establish a Culture: Forget the 30-something basement-dwellers—it's time to till that family soil like a pro vintner. They riff on winery chats: Every plot's different, climates change, so adapt your strategy. Build traditions around high feasts (Christmas Nativity read-aloud before gifts? Yes!), guard your wife's prayer time, and echo that husband-wife holiness down to the kids.Resilience Like the Saints: One bad call ruins your day? No. Channel St. Clare ("No suffering bothers me!") and blind-but-joyful St. Francis. Practice gratitude, God's-will-be-done prayers, and bounce back fast—'cause your mood sets the home tone.Focus or Bust: Saints win by laser-focus on holiness. Ditch the noise (X, YouTube, endless projects). Adam's hack: Stopwatch your day. Shocking how 25 minutes of "deep work" gets hijacked by texts. Apply it home—clock real presence with kids over fence-painting busywork.Adam's Four Pillars to Cultivate Christian Life:Silence – God's language. Train kids to quiet appetites at home so they can apply it at Holy Mass.Reverence – Rebel against irreverence. Yes sir/ma'am, genuflect at churches, dress sharp for Mass—builds love for the Eucharist.Hard Work – Outpace 90% by pushing past "I can't." Sports, chess, prayer, fasting—saints weren't smarter, just tougher.Charity – The supernatural crescendo. Serve without quid pro quo (Catechism 2223). Punch in pure love, St. Nick-style.Grandpa Power: You're the tradition custodian! Give "state of the union" fireplaceside talks like Adam's grandpa—wisdom from the trenches and the hilltop.Soul-Crafting Close: Italian churches are stunning, but one holy soul outshines 'em all. You're the craftsman for your wife's and kids' souls—steward God's talents like your life depends on it (spoiler: it does).Action Steps for Catholic Dads:Tonight: List 3 family traditions to start (feast-focused first).Tomorrow: Stopwatch 1 hour of undistracted kid-time. No phone.This Week: Guard your wife's prayer slot—strictly.Pray: "Lord, till my home soil for saints."
