Let's break down the key themes and actionable tips from this episode, so you can apply them to your own journey—whatever your "barbecue" may be. 1. Embrace Your Roots and Tell Your Story Brian's Approach:   weezs Groovin Barbecue isn't just a catchy name—it's a reflection of Brian's family history, musical background, and personal quirks. The nickname "weez" came from childhood, while "Groovin" nods to his years as a drummer. This personal touch gives his business a unique identity that resonates with customers. Actionable Advice: Infuse Your Brand with Personality:** Don't be afraid to let your story shine through your business name, branding, and customer interactions. People connect with authenticity. Share Your Journey:** Use your website, social media, and in-person events to tell the story behind your business. Customers love to support people, not just products. Honor Your Influences:** Whether it's family, music, or another passion, let those influences shape your business culture and offerings. 2. Start Small, Learn Relentlessly, and Grow Organically Brian's Approach:   Brian's barbecue journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic, sparked by a simple Weber grill and a desire to try something new. He dove into online tutorials, experimented with recipes, and gradually built his skills. His first big break came when he catered a last-minute event at a local brewery—an opportunity he seized despite initial nerves. Actionable Advice: Begin with What You Have:** Don't wait for perfect conditions. Start with the tools and knowledge you have, and improve as you go. Invest in Learning:** Watch videos, read books, and seek out mentors. Brian's willingness to learn from others—both online and in person—accelerated his growth. Say Yes to Opportunities:** Even if you feel unprepared, taking on new challenges can open doors and build confidence. Let Growth Happen Naturally:** Brian didn't force his business to scale overnight. He focused on quality and let word-of-mouth and community support drive demand. 3. Respect Tradition, But Make It Your Own Brian's Approach:   Brian is deeply respectful of the culinary traditions behind the dishes he prepares. He studies the origins of recipes, adapts them thoughtfully, and always strives to honor their roots—whether he's making Mexican barbacoa or classic American barbecue. Actionable Advice: Do Your Homework:** Understand the history and techniques behind your craft. This builds credibility and deepens your appreciation for what you do. Innovate with Integrity:** Adapt recipes or business practices to fit your style, but always acknowledge where your inspiration comes from. Ask for Feedback:** Brian's friends and family were his first taste-testers, helping him refine his recipes before going public. 4. Build Community—Inside and Outside Your Business Brian's Approach:   From the barbecue competition circuit to local Grayslake events, Brian has found a sense of belonging and camaraderie. He credits much of his success to the supportive barbecue community and the relationships he's built with sponsors, fellow competitors, and local businesses. Actionable Advice: Network Authentically:** Attend local events, join professional groups, and support other businesses. Genuine relationships lead to opportunities and support. Give Back:** Brian uses the American Legion's kitchen, knowing his fees support a good cause. Look for ways your business can contribute to the community. Collaborate:** Partner with other local businesses for events, sponsorships, or cross-promotions. Everyone wins when the community thrives. 5. Balance Passion with Practicality Brian's Approach:   Brian continues to work as a truck driver while running his barbecue business, balancing financial stability with his entrepreneurial dreams. He's strategic about which events he caters, preferring smaller gatherings where he can focus on quality over quantity. Actionable Advice: Don't Quit Your Day Job (Yet):** It's okay to build your business on the side until it's sustainable. This reduces stress and allows you to make thoughtful decisions. Know Your Limits:** Focus on what you do best, and don't overextend yourself. Brian prefers catering and competitions over running a full-scale restaurant. Set Clear Goals:** Brian's next big investment is a Texas smoker, and he's working toward it through event earnings. Define your milestones and work toward them step by step. 6. Leverage Social Media—But Stay True to Yourself Brian's Approach:   While Brian admits he could be more active on social media, he prefers a low-key, authentic approach. He shares behind-the-scenes content on Instagram and Facebook and is considering TikTok, but avoids being overly promotional. Actionable Advice: Show, Don't Just Tell:** Share videos and photos of your process, events, and personal moments. People love seeing the real you. Ask for Help:** If social media isn't your strength, enlist a friend or hire someone to help create content. Engage, Don't Just Broadcast:** Respond to comments, share community news, and celebrate your customers. Social media is a conversation, not a megaphone. 7. Make Family and Relationships Central to Your Journey Brian's Approach:   Brian's relationship with his son, Austin, is at the heart of his story. He involves Austin in competitions, travels together, and uses barbecue as a way to bond and create lasting memories. Actionable Advice: Include Loved Ones:** Find ways to involve family and friends in your business. Shared experiences strengthen relationships and make the journey more rewarding. Prioritize Balance:** Adjust your schedule to make time for important people and events. Success is sweeter when shared. Be Vulnerable:** Brian's openness about his fears and growth as a father makes his story relatable and inspiring. 8. Pursue Excellence, Not Just Success Brian's Approach:   Whether catering a small party or competing at the Jack Daniels World Championship, Brian's focus is always on delivering the best possible food. He's earned perfect scores in competitions and is known for his attention to detail. Actionable Advice: Never Stop Improving:** Treat every event as a chance to learn and get better. Solicit feedback and refine your craft. Compete with Yourself:** Set personal standards for quality, and don't settle for "good enough." Celebrate Wins, Learn from Losses:** Every competition, event, or customer interaction is an opportunity for growth. 9. Give Back and Teach Others Brian's Approach:   Brian is passionate about teaching cooking classes and sharing his knowledge with others. He sees education as a way to give back and inspire the next generation of barbecue enthusiasts. Actionable Advice: Share What You Know:** Offer workshops, write blog posts, or mentor newcomers in your field. Support Local Causes:** Use your skills to benefit community organizations, schools, or charities. Be Accessible:** Make it easy for people to reach out, ask questions, or book your services. 10. Stay Humble, Stay Kind, and Spread Positivity Brian's Approach:   Despite his growing reputation, Brian remains humble and approachable. He values kindness, genuine connections, and the simple joys of good food and good company. Actionable Advice: Practice Gratitude:** Thank your supporters, customers, and mentors often. Be a Good Neighbor:** Look for ways to help others, whether it's through your business or everyday interactions. Lead by Example:** Your attitude sets the tone for your business and community.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, including physical abuse, humiliation/degradation, and a brief mention of child sexual abuse. It also references trauma symptoms (anxiety, nightmares, rage), dissociation/out-of-body experiences, substance use, and toxic relationships. If any of this feels activating today, please take care of yourself—pause, skip, or listen with support. Some pain doesn't fade with years—it just goes quiet and starts steering the wheel. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, we sit with the real mechanics of unresolved trauma and what it takes to finally release it. This episode is for anyone who feels “fine on the outside” but still reacts, fears, numbs, or spirals in ways that don't match the present. Robert Bleck shares how early wounds shape shame, rage, and coping patterns—and a three-phase path he calls Source Completion Therapy that aims to bring buried emotions to the surface safely, so healing can actually move. About the Guest: Robert Bleck is the creator of Source Completion Therapy and author of Give Back the Pain. He holds a PhD in counseling, has taught and trained graduate students, and developed a child counseling program at a university. He also shares his own lived experience of childhood abuse. Episode Chapters 05:45 — Opening: when pain makes you sensitive, not hard 07:33 — Robert's early trauma and the roots of empathy 10:36 — Survival tools: sports, nature, and finding a way out 14:37 — “Time doesn't heal”: why wounds stay active underneath 16:01 — How buried emotions become anxiety, rage, compulsions, and numbness 20:06 — Source Completion Therapy: awareness → emotional release → completion 32:18 — Where to find Robert's work and book Key Takeaways: If your reactions feel bigger than the moment, ask: “What older feeling is this protecting?” Notice “diversions” (numbing, compulsions, rage, avoidance) as signals—not character flaws. Start with awareness: who hurt you, how, and what you learned to believe about yourself. Use safe expression (journaling, art, voice, guided reflection) to bring feelings up gently. “Completion” means naming impact and truth—directly or through visualization/writing if needed. Go at a pace that feels safe; trust-building is part of the healing.

Send a textA lot of good food never makes it to a plate. In Fresno, that often looks like backyard trees dropping grapefruit and lemons by the bucket and packing houses tossing out “imperfect” mandarins that taste just fine. We sit down with Simon and Aleeza, the founders of All For Kindness, to unpack how a simple idea—rescue surplus fruit and deliver it fast—grew into a volunteer-powered network moving roughly 12,000 pounds of fresh produce each week.We trace their origin story from a single neighborhood post to three weekly harvests with 30 to 50 volunteers, and we get into the nuts and bolts: coordinating routes, sorting, storage, and next-day deliveries to food banks, shelters, and homebound neighbors. If you care about public health, this is prevention in action. Fresh citrus brings vitamin C, fiber, and joy to families stuck in food deserts, where shelf-stable boxes can't meet every need. You'll hear how they partner with growers and packers to reclaim cosmetically imperfect fruit, why specific volunteer asks beat vague calls for help, and what it takes to keep the operation humane and sustainable.The conversation also gets personal. We talk about guarding energy with a weekly digital sabbath, handling 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. days, and the small moments that fuel big work—the kid whose face lights up at a fruit bag, the neighbor who hasn't had an orange in a year. We share the real constraints too: summer heat, the race against spoilage, a pressing need for a trailer, and a modest warehouse to scale beyond citrus into other produce. Along the way, we make the case that kindness isn't performative; it's a supply chain that rewires how a community eats.If you've got a tree, a truck, a spare hour, or a lead at a packing house, you're already part of the solution. Tap to listen, then join a Sunday pick, run a delivery route, or help fund the trailer that multiplies every volunteer's impact.

Welcome to Episode #273This weeks topic: Midlife can feel like standing at a crossroads where the road behind is longer than the one ahead. It's a season marked by reflection, reassessment, and sometimes, an unexpected crisis of identity. The pitfall isn't the aging itself—it's the quiet realization that dreams deferred might stay that way forever. Midlife isn't a crisis—it's a clarification. The pitfall is mistaking discomfort for defeat. Many find themselves caught between caring for aging parents and supporting their own children, all while grappling with career plateaus and personal reinvention. The trap is believing it's too late to change course, too late to pursue passion, too late to start over. You're not running out of time; you're running into the truth of who you really are.Reclaim your wisdom, power, and liberation that comes with age. change your life - How  you feel about yourself - "affects"your ability to manifest" This episode will help shed some light - on how this new phase of life will change "everything" - Let's learn together.. Live Show ⤵️ on the podcast channelhttps://youtube.com/live/-o-_hlcvyRUPost ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxO3aS9ORb7YffOn1nXFfYGu9-w9g419WOhttp://www.ElizabethMagicalGarden.comCash app me: $Eliz241 Check out the Live show on my youtube channel @Elizabeth magical Garden Podcast E.p. #268f

If you have food, clothing, shelter, safety, security, and a few comforts, then there's a lot for you to be grateful about, because for many people, these are things they hope and dream about, but don't have.If you're lucky enough to be safe and secure, it's important for you to appreciate that by giving back to people who aren't as fortunate as you are.When you give back you use your time, skills, resources, or voice to help others and strengthen your community. It can be as simple as appreciating the store clerk, volunteering at a local shelter, tutoring a student, donating to a cause, checking in on a neighbor, or standing up for people who are treated unfairly.

What if the key to healing deep emotional trauma wasn't just talking about it, but safely re-experiencing it? Join host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) with Dr. Robert Bleck, creator of Source Completion Therapy (SCT), a three-phase process designed to cleanse and heal the wounds of abuse and suffering. We demystify this approach: from confronting the true source of pain, to the critical role of sensory immersion, to the final act of "giving back the pain" through symbolic or direct confrontation. Dr. Bleck, a trauma survivor himself, explains the common diversions that keep people stuck and how his method facilitates profound emotional completion. For anyone seeking a path beyond managing symptoms to achieving deep recovery, this masterclass offers a compelling framework.

Brian Sluga started running in sixth grade. His college track team didn't qualify for the national finals, so he went home, took a long shower, and discovered a lump on his testicle. He told his dad, who stopped mowing the yard and took Brian to their family doctor near Peoria, Illinois. After examining him, this doctor sent him to a urologist down the hall, who diagnosed testicular cancer. Sixteen hours later, Brian's surgeon removed the testicle. Because the cancer spread to his lymph nodes, Brian also had the RPLND surgery followed by regular blood tests and scans to monitor a possible recurrence, which did not happen.Fast forward some 40 years to 2026. Brian's new book, "The Shriek I Do Remember," will be released on February 8. It's about his testicular cancer journey and other stories about his life. From Brian Sluga's website, here is a look at the new book. "The Shriek I Do Remember is a story of hope. It'sthe story of a survivor, as Brian Sluga shares how, as a young college athlete, he found a lump. He had no idea what it was or how it would change his life."  Look for it on February 8.Enjoy this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer to learn more about Brian Sluga, his testicular cancer story, and his writing.

The conversation explores how safe and creative environments foster healing, how service supports college-town families and learners, and how mentorship and scholarship open pathways for student success.

It's officially the first week of winter, even though winter weather has felt nonstop for the past month — and this episode fully matches the chaos.  The girls kick things off by sharing more standout favorites from this year's Holiday Gift Guide, then dive headfirst into a week that somehow included Florida travel drama, milestone birthdays, forgotten memories, and a serious reality check about health.Lauren (LaLa) just returned from Florida, where things went exactly as expected — meaning, of course, something went wrong. Before boarding her flight home, passengers were delayed due to a fuel leak on the plane, setting the tone for the rest of the week. Add in the shock of LaLa turning 40 years old on Christmas, and let's just say… she is not taking “official adulthood” well.Meanwhile, Shawna had her own shocking discovery. While scrolling through old videos on her phone, she found footage from her mom's 60th birthday party --- a party Shawna herself planned and threw, and  has absolutely no memory of the event at all.  Which naturally leads to laughs, disbelief, and some very real questions.  In between the chaos, the girls reflect on one of their most meaningful holiday traditions: delivering holiday gift bags to the pediatric unit at Garnet Medical Center. Each bag was put together to bring comfort, joy, and a reminder that these children are not forgotten during the holidays.  The girls are incredibly grateful to the brands who partnered with them and helped make this year's gift bags possible, including PATH Water, Bored No More, Toothbrush Toys, Wright Brothers, Diel Makeup, Penelope & The Vase, Be Blends, Finding Joy, and That's It Fruit snacks. Their generosity helped spread holiday cheer where it was needed most.  As the new year approaches, and with LaLa officially entering a new decade... Shawna and LaLa get real about their goals for the year ahead, including working out more, prioritizing their health, and actually listening to their bodies instead of pushing through burnout.  If you've ever forgotten your age, questioned your memory, hated winter, or felt personally attacked by a birthday --- this one's for you.

Service to others runs deep in the Payton family DNA. There's a global reminder of that before every Super Bowl, when one NFL humanitarian is bestowed with the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.   In this episode of the Crisis Cast, WGN-TV's Jarrett Payton talks about the life lessons he learned from his father, and the vision he has for his own legacy. Lissa & Thom dive into Jarrett's obsession with watching game film, Ben Johnson's much-needed honesty, and JP's predictions for a Bears' playoff run. It's not like we're hungry. It's only been 40 years since the Bears won a Super Bowl.   This week's Crisis Cast hero is Chicago ECO House CEO Quillen Blackwell.

What if "giving back" isn't about writing bigger checks but about using what you're already great at? Most people think philanthropy is reserved for people with their names on buildings. That assumption keeps them from realizing they already have something valuable to give. Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome John Studzinski, managing director at PIMCO and founder of the Genesis Foundation, for a conversation about generosity, purpose, and impact that actually applies to everyday Stackers. John challenges the whole concept of "philanthropy" as something for the ultra-wealthy and reframes giving as a muscle anyone can build using time, talent, and intention instead of just cash. The conversation reveals how you can create meaningful impact right now, regardless of your bank balance. Whether you're great at organizing, teaching, listening, or solving problems, those skills matter more than you think. John breaks down how to identify your personal talent for impact and why intentional giving beats reactive charity every single time. Then the show shifts to retirement planning, specifically how to design a glide path that works with your behavior instead of fighting it. Joe and OG break down how to manage risk as you age, why annuities keep showing up in retirement conversations, and why smart planning focuses less on chasing perfect returns and more on creating stability you can actually live with. Because the math might say one thing, but your ability to sleep at night matters just as much. Along the way, the crew takes a detour into ChatGPT's potential future, explores a few behavioral finance truths that hit uncomfortably close to home, and wraps with a pop culture review reminding us that money decisions never happen in a vacuum. This episode is about aligning your resources (financial and otherwise) with the life you actually want to live. What You'll Walk Away With: • Why "giving" is a better word than "philanthropy" and why that shift in language actually matters • How to identify your personal talent for impact even without significant wealth • Why generosity works best when it's intentional and strategic rather than reactive • How retirement glide paths actually work and why your behavior matters more than the math • The role annuities can play in reducing retirement anxiety without sacrificing everything • Why percentages can be misleading, real dollars tell better stories, and context is everything • How fear, FOMO, and age quietly shape your investment decisions in ways you might not notice • Permission to build a retirement plan around stability instead of maximum growth This Episode Is For You If: • You want to give back but think you need more money before you can make a real difference • You're approaching retirement and tired of advice that ignores how you actually feel about risk • You've wondered if annuities deserve their bad reputation or if there's something there • You want your money decisions to reflect your values, not just optimize for returns • You believe purpose and planning should work together, not compete Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's a talent you already have that could create more impact than money alone? And when it comes to retirement investing, what decision do you know is emotional but still struggle with? Drop your answers in the comments because John's perspective on giving and the crew's take on retirement planning might shift how you think about both. Learn more about your ad choices.

We meet Jesse Cody and Mike Rose today, and hear about their non-profit, Hike the Good Hike, an organization committed to enhance mental wellness through nature. They have partnered with several well-known outdoor brands to provide a path for a disparate cohort of people taking on US hikes in 2026.

This is your morning All Local update for November 27,2025.

This past summer I had the opportunity to join some amazing podcaster's for the Death Not Yet Series. This episode of Survivor || TERRI JENTZ || The Last Trip for Death Not Yet first aired on July 4th. This is a Podcaster's Give Back collaboration. All podcasters have donated their time and research to help advocate for victims of domestic violence. And we are raising money to give back to non profits which are standing with survivors. To donate, please visit buymeacoffee.com/youshouldbehere. In 1977, Terri and her college roommate, Avra Goldman, biked across America in search of freedom, adventure, and a little time to figure life out. They were students, dreamers - two women finding their place in the world.  And then, one night in a quiet Oregon park, that journey turned into something unspeakable. A truck. A man with an axe. No motive. No warning. And somehow... Terri survived. This isn't just a story of what happened that night. This is about what came after - the silence, the unanswered questions, the system that failed. And it's about how Terri, years later, went back - not just to that campsite, but into the shadows of her own memory, determined to face the monster who tried to kill her.

Meet Melissa Helmbrecht

In this deeply personal episode, Ryan opens up about his own divorce - how it unfolded, what he learned, and how men can navigate their own journey with strength and integrity. Drawing from experience and thousands of conversations with men, Ryan shares five things NOT to do and five things TO do when facing divorce. He reminds listeners that divorce, while painful, doesn't have to be the end - it can be the start of rebuilding your life with purpose, clarity, and resilience. Key Takeaways Five Don'ts:  - Don't sedate yourself - Avoid alcohol, porn, or distractions that numb growth.  - Don't stalk your ex - Cut off emotional dependence and focus forward.  - Don't sleep around - Don't use others to fill emotional voids.  - Don't seek vengeance or self-harm - You're needed, and life can get better.  - Don't watch porn - It distorts intimacy and respect for women. Five Do's:  - Build male friendships - Brotherhood is essential for healing and accountability.  - Develop new skills - Strengthen your financial and professional foundation.  - Learn a new hobby - Rediscover fun, joy, and adventure.  - Train your body - Rebuild strength, confidence, and vitality.  - Give back - Serving others heals your own pain.
