“If pain is unavoidable, I'd rather suffer doing something I love.” Michael Dargie reconnects with creative rebel and longtime friend David Schmeikal for a raw and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, permission, and building a life that feels right—not just looks right. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. David talks about the many ways we get stuck doing things we don't love, believing that “someday” we'll earn the right to do what we really want. But what if that day never comes? From working on a travel-inspired card deck with Must Do Canada to producing personal story films, David is actively challenging old beliefs and making time for projects that align with who he is today—not who he was expected to be. They dive into themes of personal suffering, creative courage, and how pain is unavoidable—but we get to choose the kind that leads somewhere meaningful. David shares his experience painting murals with his wife, the reflective exercise that shaped their 10-year life plan, and why going deep with strangers can feel easier than opening up to people we know. This episode is for rebels who feel like they're living a “should” life—and are ready to start living a want life instead. Quotable Quotes “If pain is unavoidable, I'd rather suffer doing something I love.” “We don't give ourselves enough runway.” “We sedate ourselves to the point of oblivion.” “We are humans being and doing—it's about intention.” “Let's do some work and then let's dig in and start building.” Episode Highlights Card Deck Project | Collaborating with Must Do Canada on an adventure deck Creative Boundaries | Only saying yes to projects that truly resonate Early Stories | Living with a belief that his ideas “aren't worth doing” The Film That Started It | Creating a personal film about his creative journey Redefining Pain | Choosing the pain that leads to growth 10-Year Vision | How a vivid life plan reshaped his priorities Permission to Create | How to start before you feel “qualified” Painting with His Wife | Joy in collaboration and art for art's sake Going Deep | Meaningful convos with strangers vs. small talk Advice to Creators | Start with what you want, then do the work LINKS FROM EPISODE David's Website (davidschmeikal.com) David's LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/davidschmeikal) David's Instagram (instagram.com/davidschmeikal) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

In this episode, we explore how young coaches—especially those close in age to their athletes—can be powerful assets in any program.From connecting over shared life experiences like academics, mental health, and social media to leading by example through maturity, young coaches have the ability to care, communicate, and empower like few others can.Whether you're coaching your former teammates or stepping into a staff role for the first time, this episode reminds you that you don't have to wait years to make a difference—you just have to show up with intention.

“Taking time for yourself is not selfish. It's critical.” – Lori Pieper In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Lori Pieper—meditation teacher, wellness guide, and spiritual rebel—to talk about what happens when you stop living for everyone else and finally take care of yourself. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Lori opens up about her “come to Jesus” moment when she realized that entrepreneurship needed to resonate with her soul—not just be a to-do list of tactics. After retiring from her corporate career, Lori embraced her spiritual side, training in Ayurveda, yoga, and Deepak Chopra's Primordial Sound Meditation. Now, she guides women to shed decades of social conditioning, say no with confidence, and remember who they were before burnout took over. She shares her early creative quirks (Nancy Drew live-action role play in her backyard), her Gen X rebel streak, and what she's learned from watching women in her life push too hard for too long. The conversation gets real about habits, grace, and the danger of confusing productivity with worth. Lori's not afraid to talk about wine, Netflix marathons, and why pineapple does not belong on pizza. This episode is a reminder that rebellion can be soft, self-loving, and absolutely essential. As Lori says, “Taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's critical.” Quotable Quotes “Taking time for yourself is not selfish. It's critical.” – Lori Pieper “You cannot take care of anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself.” – Lori Pieper “Our brains are wired to keep us safe—and to tell us we're doing something stupid.” – Lori Pieper “Give yourself the grace you'd give a baby learning to walk.” – Lori Pieper “Let your freak flag fly.” – Michael Dargie Episode Highlights From Corporate to Conscious | Lori's pivot to entrepreneurship and self-care Primordial Sound Meditation | How Deepak Chopra's method changed her mornings Wellness Work | Ayurveda, yoga, and healing from burnout Rebel Women | Teaching women to say “no” without guilt Creative Childhood | Nancy Drew mysteries in the backyard Networking & Growth | Overcoming fear through Success Champion Network Pizza Preferences | Pineapple is not invited Bookshelf Staples | Bliss Brain and The Miracle Morning Wine + Northern Exposure | Guilty pleasures and cozy nights Advice for Rebels | Take small slices, give yourself grace, and stop trying to eat the whole pie LINKS FROM EPISODE Lori's LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/loripieper) Lori's Facebook (facebook.com/lori.pieper.16) Lori's Instagram (instagram.com/loripieper23) Journey to Inner Joy Website (https://www.journeytoinnerjoy.com) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

And is that… our fault?In this episode, I take a raw and honest look at one of the biggest disconnects in athletics: the gap between player development and coaching.

“Personal responsibility is where all good things start.” In this episode, Michael Dargie connects with Alan Lazaros, co-host of Next Level University, a podcast with over 1,900 episodes dedicated to helping people grow 1% every day. Alan shares his journey from achievement-obsessed engineering grad to purpose-driven coach, sparked by a near-fatal car crash at age 26. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. That moment forced Alan to face mortality and triggered a radical shift: from external success to internal alignment. He began pursuing self-mastery, and built a career around helping others do the same. Alan talks about what it really means to design a life you don't need a vacation from, how personal responsibility is the key to freedom, and why most people are playing not to lose instead of playing to win. He gets candid about childhood trauma, drinking to fit in, and the fear of being different. Today, Alan's all-in on designing optimal days, running a podcast network, and building a life with intention, discipline, and love—plus two cats, a dog, and a projector-fueled Star Wars movie marathon setup. This one's for rebels who feel like they don't fit in, and know they're meant for more. Quotable Quotes “Personal responsibility is where all good things start.”  “You don't need a vacation from a life you love.” “There's an expiration date on blaming other people for your stuff.” “At least if I'm going to be disliked now, it's for being who I really am.” “Alan 3.6 is way more capable than Alan 1.6.”  Episode Highlights Next Level University | 1,900 episodes and counting The Car Crash | A wake-up call at 26 Self-Mastery | Turning discipline inward Daily Design | His 3-part day model Life Alignment | Doing the work every day Guilty Pleasures | Star Wars, Swedish fish, and surround sound Rebel Movies | Lion King and Good Will Hunting Advice to Rebels | Don't play to not lose Favorite Place | Home in New England forests What He Wishes People Knew | You control more than you think LINKS FROM EPISODE Next Level University Website (nextleveluniverse.com) Alan's LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/alanlazarosllc) Alan's Facebook (facebook.com/alan.lazaros) Alan's Instagram (instagram.com/alazaros88) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

Cardinal Ouellet explains what “synodality” is and what the risks and opportunities are for a synodal Church. Get Your Copy of His Book “Word, Sacrament, Charism” here: https://ignatius.com/word-sacrament-charism-wscp/?searchid=2543554&search_query=ouellet   Among Catholics, there has been a lot of talk about “synodality” and a “synodal Church” over the past few years. Pope Francis even called a synod on synodality. But what is synodality, and why is it important to the Church? Is it even relevant for Catholics in the pews? Does it undermine the Church's mission or past teachings? Today, Cardinal Ouellet joins Mark Brumley to explain what synodality is, why it is important, and what are its inherent risks and opportunities. We are grateful for the opportunity to speak with his Eminence because he was involved in the most recent synod on synodality as well as the four previous synods. He also worked with Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis and served as the Prefect of the Dicastery of Bishops for ten years. Therefore, today's episode and his recently released book “Word, Sacrament, Charism: The Risks and Opportunities of a Synodal Church” provide valuable insight into synodality and into the mind of the Church as she chooses to promote greater synodality.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

“People don't resist you—they resist what you shake up.” In this episode, Michael Dargie connects with Simone van Neerven, founder of ReBella, a Dutch-based consultancy helping organizations harness their internal rebels to spark meaningful innovation. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Simone shares how her journey started in corporate aviation, where she pushed boundaries and challenged the status quo—eventually leading a turnaround initiative at KLM that saved €100 million without spending a cent. That project showed her the power of working differently, and the importance of creating space for rebels to thrive. Simone now helps companies, from Chanel to Dutch social impact organizations, understand and leverage the curious, creative, courageous people often labelled as troublemakers. Through her newsletter, “Ask Dr. Rebel,” and her self-published booklets, she offers insights to rebels, their managers, and anyone who needs help navigating change. She also shares her love for finding surprising rebel stories (like why the Air Max exists), her rebel childhood origins, her adopted street-cat-turned-roommate, and why slow mornings with coffee and podcasts matter. Her advice to rebels in waiting? It's not about you. People resist because you shake up what feels safe. But keep going—we need you. Quotable Quotes “It's not rebels who make trouble. It's trouble that makes rebels.” – Simone van Neerven “People don't resist you—they resist what you shake up.” – Simone van Neerven “I want your boss, not someone from your team.” – Simone van Neerven “We need people who are wired differently to solve wicked problems.” – Simone van Neerven “Just like that. 30 minutes on the dot.” – Michael Dargie Episode Highlights ReBella Roots | From corporate job to rebel consultant Spotting Rebels | Curious, creative, courageous, and full of care Corporate Turnaround | How she saved €100M at KLM Ask Dr. Rebel | Her bi-weekly newsletter for rebels and their teams Unexpected Clients | From Chanel to Down syndrome inclusion orgs Rebel Story Origins | Trading dolls for toy trucks at age four Solving Wicked Problems | Why we need weird thinkers Publishing Her Way | Bypassing Amazon to go direct Comfort Starts | Coffee, podcasts, and slow mornings The Cat Next Door | Basje moves in—no questions asked Advice for Rebels | Resistance isn't personal.

“Never stop believing in your abilities to create.” In this episode, Michael Dargie connects with Venezuelan-born filmmaker, photographer, and educator Gustavo Bernal from his home in Austin, Texas. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Gus shares how a childhood obsession with Peter Gabriel's “Sledgehammer” led to a lifelong love affair with storytelling. He talks about his first editing jobs—literally cutting film by hand in Caracas—and how a short sci-fi film helped him earn an artist visa to move to the U.S. His path hasn't been easy, but it's been fuelled by curiosity, resilience, and a refusal to give up on creating meaningful work. The two talk about storytelling foundations, the thrill of teaching kids and adults alike, and what Gus learned walking the streets of Austin while connecting with friends around the world. He opens up about soup as metaphor, his guilty pleasure for one-hit wonders, and the story behind those iconic Lego glasses. This episode is packed with insight, humour, and reminders that being a creative rebel means honouring your weird, chasing what moves you, and making something new—even when it's hard. Quotable Quotes “Never stop believing in your abilities to create.” – Gus Bernal “You need challenges to grow.” – Gus Bernal “Cooking is like editing film. It's about the ingredients, timing, and selecting the best parts.” – Gus Bernal “You're a walker. I love that.” – Michael Dargie “These glasses were magical… a kind of super power.” – Gus Bernal Episode Highlights Caracas to Austin | Cultural shocks, kindness, and pedestrian life Gus Bernal Film | Building a business in film, photo, and education Teaching Film | Kids, structure, and emotional storytelling Software Choices | From Avid to Adobe, and learning DaVinci Sledgehammer Moment | Peter Gabriel changes everything Award-Winning Short | Sci-fi, festivals, and a visa to the U.S. Creative Walks | Nature, messages from afar, and mental health Lego Glasses | Personality, power, and classroom magic Top Film Picks | 2001, La Haine, Leon, and The Great Beauty Cassettes & One-Hit Wonders | Pure 80s and 90s nostalgia Soup Mastery | Why French onion is the king of soups What His Son Should Know | The world isn't always easy Advice to Rebels | Believe in your voice, be resilient LINKS FROM EPISODE Gus's Website (gusbernal.com) Gus on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/gustavobernal) Gus on Instagram (instagram.com/gus_bernal_film) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

The problem? All those golden nuggets from podcast interviews often get lost in the shuffle. So I decided to turn all of that wisdom into a one-stop resource: a book you can reference again and again, with real stories, tactical strategies, and simple action steps you can take right away.

In this episode, The Drum Panel returns with ME (Ben Hilzinger), alongside my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City), Max Flanders (Lukas Nelson), and Dean Sinclair (Capital Soirée, Worry Club, Ostin) for a roundtable on the ever-fragile topic of taste.

Mature and Sensitive Topics Discussed in This Episode Today, more than ever, we are suffering from the ramifications of the sexual revolution that began over 50 years ago. And in this episode, Dr. Nathaniel Blake joins Andrew Petiprin to discuss why the Church's teachings on human sexuality are correct and why abandoning them has led people away from true human flourishing. Dr. Blake addresses many of today's hot button issues ranging from abortion, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, and transgenderism. He emphasizes that by embracing God's mercy and returning to a traditional understanding of human sexuality will ultimately lead to greater happiness and fulfillment.

This week's guest is Billy Martin ... a world-renowned drummer, educator, visual artist, producer, and author. He has collaborated with some of the best, including (but certainly not limited to) John Scofield, John Zorn, Iggy Pop, Natalie Merchant, Flea and many more. Still, many people know him best for his work with Medeski, Martin & Wood, alongside John Medeski and Chris Wood. If you enjoy this episode, please go check out Billy's interview with Mike Dawson on the Drum Candy podcast titled “Improvising and Cultivating a Creative Mindset”. I recently re-watched his anti-instructional film, Life on Drums, and I can't recommend it enough. It's essentially a series of conversations between Martin and his first drum teacher, Allen Herman. These discussions delve into topics such as soloing, time, tone, phrasing, free playing, and so much more. Interspersed throughout are some pretty rad solo and duet performances…all filmed with a cinematic aesthetic. So check that out if that interests you.  Right off the bat, we dive into the topic of soloing — something Billy encourages all drummers to do first thing when they sit behind the kit (even if just for five minutes), before jumping into the records that shaped him into the remarkable musician he is today.

Dr. Peter Kreeft is a well-known Catholic figure who has helped many people convert to Catholicism and deepen their love and understanding of the faith. But few know that Dr. Kreeft himself is a convert to Catholicism. Raised Calvinist, Dr. Kreeft ended up becoming Catholic after attending Calvin College in Michigan, and in his new book “From Calvinist to Catholic,” Dr. Kreeft details his conversion story in his typical vivid and whimsical style. Today, Andrew Petiprin, also a convert, is joined by Dr. Kreeft and the two discuss Dr. Kreeft's youth, his process of conversion, and what drew him into full communion with the Catholic Church. They also discuss the relationship between Protestants and Catholics, and their hope that more Christians would enter more fully into the sacramental life of the Church. This is a must-see episode, if you have read anything by Dr. Kreeft because it reveals a more personal side to one of the bright lights in the Church.   Get Your Copy of the “From Calvinist to Catholic”: https://ignatius.com/from-calvinist-to-catholic-fcch/

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. In this episode of The Drum Panel, I'm joined by my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City, The Catching) for a laid-back but honest conversation about drumming, the music industry, self-worth, and everything in between. We had originally planned to bring on a guest, but when that fell through, we decided to just catch up and hit record—which, honestly, ended up being exactly what we needed. Today we discuss: A belief we both held about drumming early on that we've since let go of. Why learning kick drum patterns is my first step when tackling new material. The very real anxiety of walking into a new gig and playing in front of a band for the first time. Our approach to charting vs. memorizing—and why it changes depending on the situation. Whether drummers deserve songwriting credit and how we navigate that conversation. The difference between publishing and master rights, and what every drummer should understand about the business. Our evolving definitions of “making it” as working musicians. How our instruments can feel like both a source of pride and frustration—and how that ties into self-worth. The constant push-pull between confidence and impostor syndrome, and how we deal with it. If you're navigating your own creative path, juggling multiple projects, or just trying to stay inspired through the ups and downs, I think this episode will hit home. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming…a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. I'm back with another installed of Big Fat Five — a segment of the podcast where we dive into the five records that shaped the way great drummers approach their craft. My name is Ben Hilzinger and today's guest is someone whose playing and educational work has impacted me personally in a big way. David Garibaldi is not only the legendary drummer of Tower of Power, but his book Future Sounds has been one of my go-to practice tools ever since my good friend Sarab Singh first turned me onto it. In this conversation, David shares the five records that shaped his unmistakable sound and approach to rhythm. I'm so honored to have him on — let's get into it. I hope you enjoy my chat with David Garibaldi. Cheers! --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!
