Podcasts about Good to Great

Episode: 00300 Released on January 5, 2026 Description: In this milestone 300th episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, Jason reconnects with former manager and mentor Glenn Fueston for a candid, reflective conversation on leadership, data, and the evolution of intelligence analysis. Glenn shares his journey from trainer and leader at the Washington Baltimore HIDTA, to Executive Director of Maryland's Governor's Office of Crime Control, and now Director of Public Safety Capture at LexisNexis. Together, they discuss early analyst culture, post-9/11 training expansion, micromanagement lessons, strategic versus tactical analysis, grant-driven policy change, and how AI is reshaping analytical work.

In this episode of Design. Build. Hunt., Josh Raley sits down with Whitetail Partners clients Joe and Talyn to break down how their South-Central Georgia property went from good to GREAT once all the pieces were finally working together. Over the years, they'd received solid input from foresters, habitat organizations, and implementation crews. Each voice brought value—but each focused on a different piece of the puzzle. What was missing was a single, holistic plan that put all the pieces together. In early 2025, Joe and Talyn worked with Whitetail Partners to come up with this holistic plan, and the results speak for themselves! In this conversation, we cover: Why good advice can still lead to inconsistent results How access and pressure control changed deer movement fast Where timber thinning and prescribed fire fit into the bigger picture Using mock scrapes as intelligence, not pressure points Why food plots finally started functioning instead of just growing How confidence in the plan led to passing good deer—and killing better ones This episode is a real-world example of what happens when a property stops being managed in pieces and starts working as one system.

How a Family Life Educator Took Her Marriage from Good to Great: Jen's Story Sometimes, the couples who join our programs aren't on the brink of divorce. They aren't fighting all the time. They actually have a good marriage. But deep down, they know it could be better. That's exactly where Jen was when she found Delight Your Marriage. “We Had a Good Marriage… But I Knew It Could Be More” Jen and her husband had been married nearly 15 years. They had three young kids, a busy life, and no major marital crisis. As she put it, “We were not in conflict with each other. We didn't have any major issues that we were dealing with from our past. You know, no unfaithfulness, nothing like that.” Still, something inside her longed for more. She said to us, “I think the thing that drove me into it was knowing that our marriage was good, but understanding or having this feeling that it could be better.” She remembered a pastor that had mentioned Delight Your Marriage to her and from there, took the leap of faith to schedule a Clarity Call. And what she discovered surprised her. Through honest reflection and intentional questions, she realized that while her marriage looked peaceful from the outside, her heart was carrying something deeper: resentment. She had no idea that this resentment had snuck into her heart, but once she saw it, she was set on rooting it out. When Self-Pity Sneaks Into a Good Marriage Not only did Jen identify resentment in her heart, but she discovered she had also been carrying self-pity. In listening to an episode of the podcast on self-pity before joining the program, she realized the topic was actually hitting her heart. [For those interested: https://delightyourmarriage.com/393-the-sin-of-self-pity-aka-pride/] In that moment, God started something new. Through the program, Jen learned to let go of resentment and embrace gratitude. She began to see her husband not as someone who wasn't “doing enough,” but as a man faithfully serving and providing for their family. That simple—but powerful—shift changed everything. The Power of Peace in a Great Marriage As Jen walked through the program, she noticed a transformation in herself. Through the "heart" work, she found that her soul was also being renewed and that God was was reworking things her heart she didn't even know where there. And the result of that heart change? Peace. With Jen getting rid of the resentment, putting aside the self-pity, and bringing in appreciation, compliments, and admiration- it changed the atmosphere of their homes. Jen's husband even came home one evening during his busiest season, wrapped her in a hug, and said, “Thank you. I've noticed how much more peaceful our home has been.” She hadn't been trying to get him to notice—but he did. What she considered a small change was actually impactful. “It was a change enough that he felt it too” How God Turns a Good Marriage Into a Great One When we allow God to transform us, our marriage begins to shift. Jen said, “Our connection as a result of, I think just the peacefulness in the home and between us and our gratefulness for each other has brought us closer together in intimacy…” Yes, even their physical intimacy changed! Before the program, intimacy was about once a week. Now? “Two or three times,” she said, smiling. And not only has the frequency been upped, but they are enjoying each other more (a major win!) And it wasn't a formula or manipulation—it was the result of a softened heart. A Christ-Centered Model for Marriage Transformation As a former family life educator in her church, Jen had led marriage classes before. So she was skeptical—could DYM really offer something new? After completing the program, she said, “I haven't encountered anything as beneficial, and that actually works as well, as what DYM does. And I think a huge part of that is because of, well, the commitment to Scripture and actually putting it into practice.” Jen's favorite part? The women's small group. “A place that's safe, encouraging, and honest,” she said. “We prayed for each other, celebrated each other's wins, and shared struggles without fear of judgment. I've never experienced community like that.” There's Always More God Wants to Do in Your Marriage When asked what she'd tell another wife who has a good marriage but knows there's more, Jen didn't hesitate: “I think I would just say...wherever you are in your marriage, if you think there's room for growth, then there's probably room for growth. So go after it, go after it, go after it...I would, for sure say, do it with DYM, because I think it's... I think it's a powerful, powerful program.” Jen's words remind us that “good” isn't the goal. God desires great marriages—ones marked by peace, gratitude, and deep connection. Wherever your marriage is at: whether you're separated and not speaking or in a good place but wanting just a little more, we know that God is still working and He can change things for good.   With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - Ready to take the leap of faith and make that Clarity Call?

PPPS - Here's is what (another) recent graduate has to say about our program: "Coming in, I knew my wife felt that I was unsafe for her, and that she felt alone and unknown by me. On my end, I felt deeply regretful of marrying her, angry with her, and hopeless to ever have a joyful marriage... [Now] I've seen progress in almost every area. I have grown in my own perspective on my wife. This has stunned me, and given me more hope than I've ever felt...I sincerely have a delight toward her that I've not felt in over a decade."

Chris and Matt Johnson dive deep into what it really takes to move from “good” to “great” in your personal fitness journey. Building on recent interviews, they bring the focus back to practical, in-house action steps — from designing a realistic workout plan to understanding the deeper connection between movement, mindset, and recovery.They explore the importance of place and time, how to build a sustainable exercise routine, and why most people start in the wrong place when trying to get back into shape. The conversation unpacks the concept of periodization — training in cycles that balance effort, rest, and adaptation — and introduces the 89-day Fibonacci Training Plan, a system based on natural rhythms found in nature.Listeners will learn how to use tools like the Four F's of Strength Training (Focus, Form, Feel, Fatigue) and the Three R's (Rate, Range, Resistance) to train smarter, avoid burnout, and rediscover curiosity in movement. From the science of recovery to the art of listening to your body, this episode reframes fitness as a journey of awareness and intention — not just intensity.Whether you're new to exercise or a lifelong mover looking to reignite progress, this episode gives you a thoughtful framework for becoming more efficient, more mindful, and ultimately, more fulfilled in how you move.

Lust for food and women don't seem like lofty Torah subjects! If anything, they're antithetical to a lifestyle of sitting & learning. But the Vilna Gaon teaches us that they can work together - enabling a person to connect deeply to the Torah, purifying them and quelling their lustful desires. Bring your whole being into learning - that's the secret to Greatness!

Quite extraordinary, the antidote to powerful lusts for food, drink and sexuality is… torah learning. This leaves us with a surprising riddle - how will we shlep a lustful, lazy person into the beis midrash… let the Vilna Gaon enlighten us

"Business partnering is what sets apart good procurement teams from great procurement teams, especially in indirect procurement...

But the Apostle Paul wrote about the same concept nearly 2,000 years ago—not for a corporation, but for a small, young church in Thessalonica. His closing words in this letter give us a clear, practical picture of what a healthy church culture looks like and how it can grow stronger over time.Paul's wisdom here applies to any church in any generation. The principles he gives—about leadership, community life, personal habits, and spiritual discernment—are just as relevant today as they were in the first century. Let's walk through them.1. Honoring Spiritual Leaders (vv. 12-13)Paul begins with a call to recognize and honor those who lead in the Lord's work. At this point, he doesn't use titles like “pastor” or “elder.” Instead, he describes leaders as those who:Work hard among the people.Provide spiritual guidance.Lead with care and concern.In the Roman world, leaders often came from wealth or high social standing—people like Jason in Acts 17, who may have hosted and supported the early church in his home. But Paul tells believers to honor leaders not for their status, but for their work and faithfulness.Honoring leaders means showing respect, supporting them in prayer, and helping them fulfill their calling. When leaders are supported and appreciated, the church thrives.2. Living Out External Core Values (vv. 14-15)Paul then moves from leadership to the congregation as a whole. He gives five key values every church member should embrace:Diligence – “Warn those who are lazy.” This promotes a culture of responsibility and avoids unhealthy dependence.Boldness – “Encourage those who are timid.” Every believer can contribute; no one is too shy or unqualified to serve.Compassion – “Take tender care of those who are weak.” We must balance strength with empathy.Patience – “Be patient with everyone.” People grow at different speeds; grace allows room for mistakes.Love – “Do good to each other and to all people.” The church's kindness should extend beyond its walls.These aren't optional qualities. They are the visible signs of a healthy church culture that looks different from the world.3. Practicing Internal Core Values (vv. 16-18)Healthy churches are made up of healthy believers. That's why Paul gives three personal...

What if the life that looks perfect on paper is actually holding you back from the truth of who you are? In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I sit down with bestselling author Amber Rae to explore what it really takes to leave behind a life that's “fine” in pursuit of one that's fully aligned. Amber shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of walking away from a nine-year relationship, facing shame and backlash, and rewriting her story as a woman, a mother, and a creator. We talk about what it means to stop abandoning ourselves for the sake of others' comfort—and how doing the deep inner work allows us to become the leaders, lovers, and mothers we're meant to be. Whether you're navigating a shift in your business, your marriage, or your own identity, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, challenged, and inspired.  Tune in to hear: The moment Amber knew she had to walk away from her marriage—and what made it so hard to admit How generations of women in her family shaped her relationship with love, self-worth, and safety The surprising connection between people-pleasing and under-earning How becoming a mother deepened her sense of purpose and rewrote her legacy Why telling the truth often feels like blowing up your life—but is actually the path to freedom The journaling practice that helped Amber face shame and reclaim her inner voice What it really means to build a business and brand rooted in truth How to expand your nervous system capacity to hold success, criticism, and visibility The importance of choosing aligned community when navigating massive life transitions Why honesty in one area of your life transforms every other part of it Grab Amber's New Book: Lovable is available everywhere books are sold
