Your sobriety isn't a committee decision. It's OK if your family and friends don't understand.Yes, it's scary. If your family has always bonded over alcohol, it can feel lonely to be sober during the holiday season. It's a challenging shift to put yourself first and not people-please to make others comfortable during the holidays. But believe me, you can do it. Today, I'll discuss how you can still be involved in holiday festivities, how to invite your family members to support you, and ideas for starting new traditions that don't include alcohol. And remember...you're not alone. Need even more holiday sober support? I created a (free!) 10 Day Holiday Series to support you every morning. Click here to sign up!

Registered Nurse and Sobriety Coach Kate Vitela is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your sobriety journey, you are always allowed to change. Kate shares the story of how alcohol became a way of life for her as a young nurse and how her attempt at switching to cannabis wound up unraveling her life in a way that led to full sobriety. She also shares about her experiences with AA. Originally a program that changed her life, Kate felt after a couple of years of sobriety that she no longer wanted to identify as an ‘alcoholic'. This choice led her to unexpected backlash that led her to step away from the program and develop her own. Kate is now a sober coach and sober podcaster focusing on a message that blends science, spirituality, real stories, and humor to create a recovery approach that's authentic and empowering.

"Entrepreneurship is the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever." What happens when selling RVs leads to buying dental scrap, melting it down for precious metals, and then launching a startup with a mission to bless lives? In this episode, I talk with Brandon Sherwood about entrepreneurship, family, and why it's just not that serious. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie chats with Brandon Sherwood, an entrepreneur from Heber City, Utah, whose path has been anything but ordinary. Brandon runs a business that buys dental scrap—old crowns and bridges—and refines them into precious metals like gold and palladium. It's a niche market with a 10-to-15 year runway, but for Brandon, the real story is how it led him to launch Gladly Network, a startup built on a mission statement as simple as it is powerful: bless lives . Gladly is designed to connect small, impact-driven businesses with people in meaningful ways, starting with dental offices as a kind of employee perk system. For Brandon, it's about more than business—it's about making sure his company continues to add value long after the dental scrap dries up. He explains the challenges and joys of building something new, calling entrepreneurship "the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever" . The conversation stretches back to Brandon's roots: growing up in Arkansas, working in his dad's RV dealership, and discovering that while cubicle life wasn't for him, sales and relationships were. He tells the story of how a cousin pulled him into the strange world of dental scrap on his day off from selling RVs—and how eight months later, he made the leap into a whole new career . Beyond work, Brandon opens up about raising four teenage boys, how experiences like concerts, sports, and camping trips matter more than things, and why his favourite recharge involves disappearing into the Utah mountains to sit under an aspen tree and remember that life's problems aren't that serious . From street tacos in Cozumel to family Halloween costumes, Brandon's story is one of humour, humility, and hope. His advice to rebels in waiting: you've got to love it, believe in it, and remember that failure is just part of the process—so keep throwing the ball in the right direction.

""You shouldn't use words to burn. They should be for light and for warmth." Richard has spent the last 19 years running a near-shore bilingual contact center that thrives on empathy, communication, and human connection in an era dominated by automation. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Richard Blank, CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center. Richard has spent the last 19 years running a near-shore bilingual contact center that thrives on empathy, communication, and human connection in an era dominated by automation . Richard's story begins in Philadelphia, where childhood trips to Mexico sparked his love of Spanish and culture. After studying Spanish in college, he took what was supposed to be a short trip to Costa Rica to teach English at a friend's center. Instead, he fell in love—with the country, with the culture, and with the woman who would become his wife. That leap of faith became a lifelong adventure, culminating in the creation of Costa Rica's Call Center . He explains why call centers aren't just about dialing lists—they're about rhetoric, persuasion, and the art of speech. For Richard, the real skill lies in listening, building rapport, and finding those rare "positive escalations" where a customer compliments an agent to their supervisor. He compares communication to fire: it can burn, but it can also light and warm, and the best agents know how to use it for encouragement and clarity . The conversation ranges widely, from his love of 1970s electromechanical pinball machines and jukebox rescues in the Costa Rican mountains, to his passion for movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Maltese Falcon. Richard also shares the daily joys of Costa Rican life—warm rain in a convertible, fresh seafood at the market, and the surreal beauty of the rainforest . At the heart of it all is his philosophy: rebels in waiting should remove unnecessary weight, play the long game, and find balance. Business doesn't require shortcuts or being number one—it requires integrity, patience, and compassion. His advice is simple: plan ahead, stay curious, and make space for yourself so your best ideas can surface. Quoteable Quotes "It's a luxury trade—where else can you speak to hundreds of people a day?" — Richard Blank "You shouldn't use words to burn. They should be for light and for warmth." — Richard Blank "If you can't find ways to decompress, you'll never last as an entrepreneur." — Richard Blank "They need more compassion—it starts with simply acknowledging existence." — Richard Blank "You're Canadian, that's fun." — Richard Blank Episode Highlights Costa Rica's Call Center | Building a near-shore bilingual hub of empathy and communication. Spanish Major to CEO | How a short trip turned into a lifelong adventure. Pura Vida Life | Why Costa Rica feels like paradise. The Art of Speech | Listening, persuasion, and positive escalations. Pinball Collection | Rescuing 1970s electromechanical treasures from the mountains. Jukeboxes Too | Preserving vintage machines as cultural artifacts. Movie Buff | From The Maltese Falcon to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Rain in a Convertible | Everyday magic in Costa Rica. Compassion First | Why acknowledging existence is the start of connection.

There's a problematic message in our society that tells us that we only need to quit drinking if our drinking looks ‘that bad'. You know the kind - Meg Ryan in When A Man Loves a Woman or Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. This message can cause so many challenges for women on their sobriety journeys. It can make them second guess themselves about whether or not they need to quit drinking, even as their personal relationship with alcohol becomes more and more negative. But what if you reframed this message? What if you stopped asking if you were ‘that bad', and started asking if alcohol was that bad? How would this change your perspective?

Brian shares his experiences making a living in pop-punk, dealing with impostor syndrome, and finding ways to keep joy alive when your passion becomes your paycheck.

In this episode, Dave Morrow gives a fiery critique of Canada's recent announcement to recruit 300,000 public servants into the supplementary reserve. The plan aims to create a 'tiger team' of warriors with minimal training. Dave challenges the logic behind this initiative, arguing that public servants lack the necessary combat psychology and skills. Highlighting the disconnect between military and public service mentality, the video questions the feasibility and wisdom of this new defence mobilization strategy. Viewers are invited to share their thoughts on whether this is a good idea or a misguided venture.

"Speed reading doesn't work. Speed learning works." What happens when a kid from Brooklyn grows up to become the world's fastest reader and teaches others to learn 100% faster in just four hours? In this episode, I talk with Howard Berg about speed learning, knowledge, and why smarter decisions could change the world. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Howard Berg, officially recognized as the world's fastest reader by the Guinness Book of Records. Howard reads at a staggering 80 pages per minute, but more importantly, he has spent decades teaching others how to learn faster, retain more, and apply knowledge in ways that transform lives . Howard grew up in the Brooklyn projects, where the library became his safe haven from gangs. By eleven, he was already reading at a college level. Later, while double-majoring in biology and psychology, he discovered that no one ever teaches students how to learn—only what to learn. Determined to change that, he developed methods that helped him finish a four-year psychology program in just one year, all while working multiple jobs. He proved his system worked by acing the GRE after reading 48 textbooks in three nights . Since then, Howard has taught speed learning techniques to the U.S. Special Forces, the Royal Thai Army, corporate teams, and students around the world. He explains why speed reading alone isn't enough—it's about combining reading with comprehension, retention, and emotional intelligence to ensure knowledge sticks when it matters most. From teaching 11-year-olds to write graduate-level papers, to helping entrepreneurs read a business book a day, his system opens new doors for anyone willing to learn . The conversation also touches on Howard's personal journey—his years as a Red Cross swimming instructor, his eclectic reading habits, his love of travel and music, and the joy he finds in helping others succeed. He shares stories of students who went from struggling to excelling—like a C student who became a professor at 22, and another who finished a college degree in just six months before selling his company for $38 million . Howard's message is simple but powerful: the world's problems won't be solved by more people making bad decisions. If we can learn faster, understand more, and apply knowledge wisely, we stand a better chance of building a smarter, better future. Quoteable Quotes "The library was the safest place in Brooklyn—gang kids would rather be dead than caught there." — Howard Berg "Speed reading doesn't work. Speed learning works." — Howard Berg "Truth is, you don't need the stories—you need the ideas." — Howard Berg "The number one asset every entrepreneur has is their ability to make choices and decisions." — Howard Berg "This is already a learning process for me." — Michael Dargie Episode Highlights World's Fastest Reader | How Howard Berg earned his Guinness record. Brooklyn Beginnings | Finding safety and purpose in the library. Learning to Learn | Why schools never teach how to learn. The Psychology Degree | Finishing a four-year program in one year.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week's The Drum Panel features me, Eric Downs, and Chance Famighetti (aka Free Arlo). Eric's the music director behind Nicky Youre's current live show—the same gig Chance once bluffed his way into before I took over. Together, we dig into what it means to actually sound human on stage in a world obsessed with perfection. Eric opens up about imposter syndrome as an MD, Chance explains how he rewired his brain to stop overthinking fills, and I share what it's like being critiqued for the first time by another drummer. We also discuss: • Why drummers should separate identity from the instrument • Producing vs. drumming—and how one mindset improves the other • Improving via recording yourself before the haters get involved • The art of being coached without losing your confidence We wrap by talking about playing for the audience versus the band, knowing your “why” on stage, and how to build a live show that feels real, messy, and alive. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

"Question everything and see it from every perspective." What happens when a high school math teacher and a computer programmer leave the corporate grind, write books inspired by Ted Lasso, and create a personal leadership app? In this episode, I talk with Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio about building businesses, books, and better leaders. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie welcomes co-authors, entrepreneurs, and leadership coaches Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio. From opposite ends of the U.S.—Marnie on Maryland's Eastern Shore and Nick in Georgia—they've joined forces to write Lead It Like Lasso and The Business of You, books that blend leadership frameworks with pop culture touchstones to help people live and lead authentically . Marnie began her career as a high school math teacher before moving into administration and customer success in ed tech. Nick started as a computer programmer, eventually moving into leadership roles where he learned firsthand what ineffective and authentic leadership looked like. Their paths converged at a company where values didn't match reality, and from that misalignment came the spark to build something of their own . Together, they've built Scaled, authored award-winning books, and are now developing Blue, an app that helps young people build their personal leadership brand. They share stories of book festivals, awkward signings, and creative ways to connect with readers, like Marnie signing books as bathroom passes. They also talk about resilience in business, why storytelling is 22 times more effective than facts, and how job seekers can stand out in a sea of sameness . Outside their professional world, Marnie knits and walks like it's an Olympic sport, while Nick swears by stretching and a daily dose of Wordle. They swap stories about crabs in Maryland, golf in Georgia, and how authenticity, curiosity, and humour fuel both their partnership and their writing . Their advice to "rebels in waiting" is simple but powerful: find your people, question everything, and keep rewriting your own story. Quoteable Quotes "Leadership is life—it doesn't just happen in the boardroom." — Marnie Stockman "Question everything and see it from every perspective." — Nick Coniglio "Find your Diamond Dogs—your personal board of advisors." — Marnie Stockman "The game is reviews. That is the game." — Michael Dargie Episode Highlights Lead It Like Lasso | Why Ted Lasso became the perfect framework for leadership. The Business of You | Helping young people build a brand that stands out. Math Meets Code | How a teacher and programmer became co-authors. Misaligned Values | Leaving corporate life to build something better. Diamond Dogs | The importance of personal advisors and support networks. Leadership is Life | Why it matters in classrooms, living rooms, and boardrooms. Book Signing Stories | Bathroom passes, LA Times Book Fest, and awkward empty tables. Stretching & Knitting | Daily practices that fuel creativity and wellbeing. Job Hunting Truths | Why resumes aren't enough and storytelling matters.

"Your value proposition is the reason people choose you." What happens when Michael Dargie hands over the mic to branding legend JP Lacroix? In this takeover episode, they unpack the lessons behind BrandJitsu and why truth and clarity are the foundation of every brand story. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this special takeover episode, Michael Dargie flips the script and lets branding veteran Jean Pierre Lacroix take the host's chair. The focus is Michael's book BrandJitsu, which JP describes as one of the most insightful books on positioning he's read in his 40+ years of brand transformation work . JP probes the origins of the book—how it accidentally shifted from a West Coast adventure narrative into a hands-on branding guide—and why Michael felt compelled to put decades of client work into a framework anyone could use. At the heart of the conversation is the metaphor of jiu jitsu: fast, effective techniques to defend against brand confusion, grounded in truth and clarity . The two explore the fundamentals of the BrandJitsu model: defining purpose and values, clarifying value propositions, and using archetypes to shape brand personality. Michael explains why brands need to know who they are, what they do, who they serve, and why anyone should care. They discuss the importance of storytelling—how even one short line, like Nike's "There is no finish line," can hold more power than a thousand ad campaigns . Along the way, Michael shares stories from client work, including how a funeral home found its voice in a campaign called Life by Mary, shifting focus from grief to celebration. He also explains the "brand playbook" process he uses with companies: two intensive weeks of truth-finding, alignment, and clarity that result in a living guide to identity and positioning . The episode underscores why branding isn't about logos or taglines, but about aligning internal purpose with external storytelling. For entrepreneurs, executives, and creative rebels alike, BrandJitsu offers a way to cut through the noise and build something meaningful. Quoteable Quotes "Truth and clarity—that's all the bottom stuff is." — Michael Dargie "Your brand is the Yoda, not the Luke Skywalker." — Michael Dargie "It's not as complicated as you think. Branding is simple—it's just a bunch of little pieces." — Michael Dargie "Your value proposition is the reason people choose you." — Michael Dargie Episode Highlights RebelRebel Takeover | JP Lacroix interviews Michael about BrandJitsu. Accidental Author | How a planned adventure book became a branding manual. The BrandJitsu Metaphor | Fast, effective, story-driven branding. Purpose and Values | Guardrails for how a company shows up. Value Proposition vs Values | Why most businesses confuse them. Brand Archetypes | Creator, Explorer, and finding your tribe. The Iceberg | Story lives below the surface. The Brand Playbook | A two-week process for truth and clarity. Life by Mary | Reframing funerals as celebrations of life. Storytelling Matters | Why one line can define a brand. Advice to Rebels | Branding isn't a logo—it's your story, told with clarity.

Fellow Wisconsinite and sober coach Heather Lowe loved the way alcohol made her feel from a very young age. She kept her fears that she might have a problematic relationship with alcohol under wraps for decades, until a flurry of life changes and tragedies led to her begin to ‘drink her grief' instead of feeling it. Heather wanted to blame everything but alcohol for the ways in which she felt like she was losing her grip, so much so that she began to try ‘sober experiments' to prove to herself that alcohol wasn't the problem. She was surprised to find, though, that she was feeling better and better during her periods of sobriety.Quitting for real felt terrifying. A longtime party girl, Heather couldn't imagine losing friends through such a big life change. The honest truth was that she did lose friends, but she developed a much more important friendship along the way - a deep and meaningful friendship with herself. Now seven years sober, Heather works with women in all stages of sobriety to help them navigate their own sober journeys. She wants you to know: There is so much potential in sobriety.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week's episode features my buddy Chance Famaghetti, also known as Free Arlo. He was the first drummer for Nicky Youre—the artist we both now tour for—but these days he's behind the piano while I'm on drums. It's a wild and funny conversation about how Chance said “yes” to playing drums for Nicky… before he actually knew how. What started as a bluff turned into a crash course in drumming, arenas, and self-belief. We dig into how producing helped him fake his way through those early gigs, what it felt like to play arenas without knowing how to set up a hi-hat clutch, and how saying yes to one opportunity changed his entire life. We also talk about his artist project Free Arlo, lessons from touring, why personality keeps you the gig more than skill, and how he's built a creative life that spans piano, drumming, and sound design. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to The Drum Panel with me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside Eric Urrea and Kris Mazzarisi. We cover a lot of ground today, but most of our conversation centers around image—what it means, how it evolves, and why it matters. It's a loaded topic that hits everyone differently, but we do our best to share honest takes from our experiences as working musicians. Think of it as equal parts peer therapy and real-world advice for drummers coming up in the scene. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. Lately I've been fortunate to have guests who've already appeared in other drummers' Big Fat Fives, and today's guest is one of them: Terry Silverlight. Terry's career is so deep and wide-ranging that I almost don't even want to start listing artists. His discography is massive — you can check it out on his website HERE and he's still extremely active today. He was already recording at 14 on his brother Barry Miles' record, and he hasn't slowed down since. Along the way he's worked with everyone from George Benson to Roberta Flack to Natalie Merchant, just to name a few. This episode doesn't veer from the Big Fat Five format, but Terry interleaves the records that shaped him with the way music has been ingrained in his life from day one. I mention this at the top of our chat, but it's worth saying again here — the through-line of music in Terry's story is undeniable. Toward the end, I also ask him about a session that came up in Aaron Steele's episode a while back, when Aaron brought up Terry's work with the band Change. If you haven't heard that one, go back and check it out — Aaron's a young legend in his own right. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. This week, I'm joined by the legendary Calvin Rodgers. His playing has helped define modern gospel drumming through his work with Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and John P. Kee. And speaking of John P. Kee—Calvin's performance on "Rain On Us" has come up again and again in other drummers' Big Fat Fives. I had to ask him about it, and his story doesn't disappoint. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

We're back with another installment of Big Fat Five - a segment of the show where I chat with my favorite drummers about the 5 records that shaped their approach to the instrument. This week's guest is Zach Danziger...a drummer/composer who refuses to let tradition box him in. From early days with Wayne Krantz to collaborations across jazz, fusion, film, and experimental projects, Zach has built a career that's as deep as it is unpredictable. Sometimes you click with everything a guest says…and this conversation was just that. Talking with Zach not only made me more confident in who I am as a player, but also excited to explore elements I've been neglecting. That being said, I hope you enjoy the 5 records that helped shape Zach Danziger into the player he is today. Cheers.  - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

26 Jerks in the Work Place...Are You 27? Your workplace should be a place of growth, teamwork, and purpose—but what happens when one person throws it all off track? In his new book The One-Minute Jerk at Work, Rich Salon—better known as “Rich the HR Guy”—shines a bright light on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic behaviors can creep into your office and derail your career. On this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we'll unpack these behaviors, why they matter, and what you can do about them. Have you ever had a coworker like Wesley the Weasel who constantly takes credit for your ideas, or Micromanaging Maria who micromanages every move, or Rumor Mill Roger who thrives on stirring up drama with Rumors? Rich calls them “one-minute jerks”—people who may only need sixty seconds to poison a conversation, a meeting, or even an entire workplace culture. Together, we'll explore the practical tools from his book that help you identify these jerks early and stop their behavior from taking root. But this conversation isn't just about spotting the jerks around you—it's also about a little self-reflection. Could you be number 27...the one-minute jerk without realizing it? Rich's insights go beyond finger-pointing and invite us to hold up a mirror, recognize blind spots in our own behavior, and make changes that foster trust, respect, and productivity. Whether you're a leader trying to build a stronger team, an employee navigating difficult dynamics, or simply someone who wants to work in a healthier environment, this episode will give you the strategies to create a more positive and effective workplace. Join me, Coach Jay, for this powerful and eye-opening discussion with Rich Salon—because the jerk at work doesn't have to win. Rich Salon's book, "The One-Minute Jerk at Work" is a fun, fast, educational read that you will take with you to work immediately.  You will be diagnosing your co-workers and wondering why they became a "Micromanaging Maria" or a "Pessimist Pete" and how they are disrupting the workplace. The next question is "what can I do about it?" Rich offers suggestions there too. The book also comes with self-reflecting questions that you need to ask yourself.  The fact is we all lack self-awareness and Rich Salon wants to make sure that you are also taking a close look at yourself because while there are 26 mentioned in the book you may be number 27. Insightful, enjoyable and well written, The One-minute Jerk at Work will be a fun read to explore and do some critical self-analysis so you avoid being a "Jerk at Work" yourself.

Brendan breaks down the “Shakira machine” and why clarity and projection beat busy parts when you're playing to the back row. We also cover deep-dive listening versus casting a wide net, Bowie's Berlin era, and the time Brendan's electrician turned out to be one of my favorite drummers—and his too. It's equal parts practical advice, music history, and great road stories from working drummers.

 Hello ShopTalkers, it's Dr. Dawn, Today's episode is going to be a little personal. I want to talk about a sneaky little emotion that can derail our success faster than we realize - I'm talking about guilt. Specifically, the kind of guilt that creeps in when things are actually going well. This may sound a little cray cray, but I know this one well—because I've been living it. Many of you know that I lost my mom not too long ago. My mom struggled with her weight for most of her life. And here's where my guilt started to creep in. Before Mom passed, I had been open about my own health journey. When I turned 40, my weight started fluctuating like crazy. After checking my hormones and finding nothing to blame, I turned to intermittent fasting—and it worked. I lost 31 pounds. Now, I'm only 5'1” on a good day, so that kind of loss was huge. I went from a size 12 Petite to a size 4 Petite, sometimes even a size 2. I felt like myself again—confident, strong, and proud. But when Mom passed, I couldn't help but feel this pang of guilt. Here I was, achieving something relatively easily that my mother struggled with for decades. I knew—in my head—that as my mom, she would want me to be healthy, to thrive, to avoid the battles she faced. But my heart didn't want to hear it. I coped by self-sabotaging and gaining back some of the weight.  But because of my training, I knew that I could celebrate a big win here because I didn't gain all the weight back and then some - I instead gained about half, which I again am going to celebrate because it shows me that I have successfully broken that pattern.Now, your guilt may not be the same as mine - maybe you feel guilty for making more money than your friends or loved ones. Maybe you feel guilty for getting a promotion when your friend got laid off, or guilty for taking a vacation when your team is swamped. Whatever form it takes, the good news is you can break free from it. Today, I'm sharing 3 concrete steps to stop letting guilt block your succes plus 1 bonus goal to really seal the deal!Step 1: Set Bodacious and Fabulous Goals Step 2: Create a Concrete, Bite-Sized PlanStep 3: Find an Accountability PartnerTune in to get all the details on these 3 steps PLUS your Bonus Goal!And here's your Call to Action: I would love for you to be part of my accountability team of support.

In this week's Words & Numbers, Ant and James tackle the misunderstood world of corporate stock buybacks—are they economic malpractice or just savvy business? The duo then pivots to publicly funded media, taking aim at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and questioning its continued reliance on taxpayer dollars in an age of abundant private alternatives. They also examine the federal government's rare (and tiny) budget surplus in June, dissecting whether it's a meaningful trend or a statistical blip. Along the way, Steve Miller cancels his tour for baffling reasons, Trump forgets he appointed Powell, and the guys reflect on why government tax revenue stubbornly sticks to 18% of GDP—no matter the policy. As always, they ask: what's the data say, and so what?
