JD closes out the Trail Hero Expedition Spotlights series with Nathaniel and Susan Savka of Team Danger Zone, the first-time overlanders who became the inaugural Trail Hero Expeditions champions by just 16 seconds. They unpack their 2020 Jeep Gladiator overland build, rooftop tent camping lessons, lightning-fast tire change, MORRFlate four-tire inflation challenge, and the teamwork that carried them through Pine Valley, Zion, the Grand Canyon, and Sand Hollow rock crawling. The conversation goes far deeper than competition as Susan openly discusses experiencing a severe panic attack on the route, while the family explains why autism awareness, mental health advocacy, and making the off-road community welcoming for children like Johnny Danger matter more than any trophy. From Johnny learning new words and initiating an unforgettable hug to borrowed gear, unexpected friendships, and a victory cheeseburger covered in ketchup, this episode is equal parts family overlanding adventure, honest vulnerability, and classic Trailhead chaos. Listen for the story behind Team Danger Zone's 16-second victory—and why Susan may now be the family member pushing hardest to return to Utah.

Ned Racine (Oscar-winner William Hurt) is a handsome, sleazy lawyer and Matty Walker (Oscar-nominee Kathleen Turner in her big screen debut) is the alluring wife of a wealthy businessman (Richard Crenna) and one steamy Florida night, they meet and begin a torrid affair. They then conspire to murder Matty's husband as part of an insurance scam.....and a lot of a sweaty, twisty chaos ensues! This Neo-Noir thriller was the directorial debut of Oscar-nominated writer/director Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill, Silverado, Grand Canyon) and even though it was only a minor hit when it was first released in the Summer of 1981, it has gone on to be one of the more influential thrillers of the modern era. It also made both William Hurt and Kathleen Turner into instant movie stars.

College football season is almost here, but the offseason still refuses to calm down. This week, Ciarnan and Kev break down Ohio State & Notre Dame's massive jersey patch deals and debate whether schools or conferences are better off cashing in on sponsorships. They also discuss the latest lawsuits surrounding player transfers, the NCAA's never-ending stupidity, Brett Bielema's comments about the SEC, Michigan State's lofty expectations, and why the Arch Manning Heisman hype may have gotten completely out of hand. Then it's time for another conference logo showdown, this week featuring the Mountain West Conference.

Daily Boost Podcast What Do You Do for Fun July 29, 2026 | Episode 5508 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What do you do for fun? I've asked that question thousands of times, and most smart people can't answer it. They freeze. Meanwhile, my son-in-law rattles off duck hunting and fishing without blinking. Today I'm digging into why fun feels so complicated for achievers — and why it's usually hiding in plain sight. We'll talk hobbies, jet skis you don't need, and a client who just discovered the freedom he built with his own hands. Plus, summer is winding down, and that gives you a rare window to change anything you want. Let's find your fun. Featured Story Years ago, Joel and I drove up to the Grand Canyon to visit friends who live right on the South Rim. Most people don't know there's a whole community up there — housing, schools, thousands of people who work the park. One of my friends had switched careers in his early forties, packed everything up, became a park ranger, and never came back. It's quiet up there—no McDonald's, no movie theater. I was fidgety, so I asked him what they do for fun. He looked at me like the fast-paced city slicker I was and said, "I've been having fun all day, even at work." I didn't get it then. Life taught me later. Important Points Fun is sneaky. It shows up when you're not paying attention — in your work, your waiting, your everyday moments. Stop chasing what society calls fun. The toys land at a yard sale — what you do naturally satisfies far longer. Nobody's paying attention right now. Use this end-of-summer window to decide you'll ramp up in a new direction. Memorable Quotes "Fun is a sneaky little thing. It likes to show up when you're not paying attention, right there in the moment." "It's real freedom when you figure out what you do for fun, you know what makes you happy, and you just do it." "The act of saying I'm going to do it differently starts to clarify the goal. Before you know it, you're different." Scott's Three-Step Approach Notice the moments today when fun sneaks up on you — at work, in the quiet, in the middle of doing your thing. Name what you're doing when you're doing you, and write it down. That answer has been hiding in plain sight for years. Then use this quiet end-of-summer window to schedule more of it before everybody plugs back in this September. Chapters 0:07 - The question most smart people can't answer 1:04 - Why I don't have hobbies and don't need them 2:07 - Death Valley, a 146-mile run, and my documentary 3:38 - A Grand Canyon ranger schools this city slicker 5:03 - Toys, jet skis, and the yard sale two years later 7:26 - My client's breakthrough about real freedom 9:09 - The limited window nobody is paying attention to Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Nearly 7,000 people sick, a recalled lettuce supply, and an FDA test result that got quietly walked back — Dr. Adam Brockman digs into the outbreak nobody's fully explaining. Then, a viral story about midlife husbands and the health habits driving couples apart — and why it's really about vitality, not vanity. Plus, brand-new science on nano-curcumin's surprising fight against parasitic infection, straight from your spice rack. And to close it out, an unsolved mystery: dozens of Grand Canyon rafters mysteriously falling ill, with no answer yet in sight.

A Trip Born from a Train Obsession (and Family History) Ryan has had his eye on the Rocky Mountaineer since 2018, when he first heard about their Canadian Rockies routes at a travel conference. Add in a grandfather who was a train engineer between South Bend and Chicago, and a new Canyon Spirit line running from Salt Lake City to Denver — it was only a matter of time. About a year ago, Ryan brought the idea to his parents, and six months before departure, it was officially booked. The result: three trips in one — Las Vegas, the Mighty Five National Parks of Utah, and a two-day train journey from Moab to Denver, with the 4th of July spent riding the rails on the 250th birthday of the United States.Las Vegas: More Than Just the Casinos Ryan, his wife Jasmine, and his parents stayed at Park MGM — smoke-free, well-connected to the strip via tram, and conveniently the pickup point for their Hoover Dam tour and Mighty Five transfer. Day one was a hop-on, hop-off bus tour to orient the first-timers, covering the old strip, new strip, and Fremont Street. A word of caution from Ryan: know exactly what you're buying. Their "24-hour pass" ran from 10 AM to 5 PM and only circled one direction — worth knowing in advance. Day two was a VIP Hoover Dam tour, complete with a comedian-guide who grew up in the area, a descent into the dam's tunnels to see the power plant and turbines, and bridge views overlooking the dam. Lunch was included. Total time: about 8 AM to 2 PM — leaving the evening free for dinner and a little fun.A Few Vegas Tips Worth Knowing The airport is a 10-minute Uber from most strip hotels. Ubers and Lyfts are easy and reliable. And a heads-up for anyone who hasn't been in a while: Las Vegas has fully reinvented itself as an entertainment city — the 99-cent buffets are long gone, and the price tag reflects it. Budget accordingly.The Mighty Five: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands All five parks are in Utah, and Ryan's group covered them in three days through Moab Express — a highly recommended tour company operating out of 12-passenger vans with a guide who doubles as driver. Groups of eight, stops every hour and a half, snacks and water onboard, and a guide named Ben who could riff on geology, history, or nature depending on what you wanted. The pacing was relaxed — visitor centers, photo stops, souvenir shops, and a few short hikes on day three. Not a trip for serious hikers, but absolutely the right vehicle for first-time park visitors who want to see a lot without driving themselves. Meals were included, accommodations ranged from a well-kept Best Western Plus in Bryce to the Hoodoo Hilton (Curio Collection) in Moab, and the only out-of-pocket cost was alcohol. Each park managed to one-up the last — from the red-rock drama of Zion to the alien hoodoos of Bryce Canyon to the staggering scale of Canyonlands, which Ryan says rivals the Grand Canyon.Where in the World?

Lake Powell Resort and Marina Foto © Arizona Office of TourismWir müssen zugeben, dass man sich momentan gut überlegen sollte, ob man die USA besucht. Diese Entscheidung können wir Ihnen auch nicht abnehmen. Falls es Sie aber in das Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten treibt, dann wollen wir Sie mit einem kleinen Reisetipp unterstützen, der Sie durch Arizona führen wird. Foto © Flagstaff, Ping Tang Darum geht es diesmal!Heute nutzen wir mal wieder die Gelegenheit, innerhalb unserer Automobilberichterstattung einen Reisetipp zu geben. Und dazu begeben wir uns nach Arizona. Der US-Bundesstaat gilt für viele als Synonym für Sonne und Wüste. Doch wer den US-Bundesstaat vor allem mit Kakteen und roten Felsen verbindet, irrt. Teile von Arizona zählen zu den abwechslungsreichsten Höhenlandschaften der USA. Nur wenige Fahrstunden von den Wüstenregionen entfernt erwarten Besucher angenehm kühle Bergorte, schattige Kiefernwälder, glasklare Seen und Gipfel auf über 3.000 Metern Höhe. Möglich machen das die enormen Höhenunterschiede des Bundesstaates. Vom Wüstenboden bis zu alpinen Berglandschaften reicht das Spektrum – und damit auch der Temperaturunterschied. Arizona zeigt, dass der amerikanische Südwesten überraschend vielseitig sein kann. Also ist das die Gelegenheit für einen Roadtrip. Egal, mit welchem Fahrzeug. Flagstaff - Sunset Crater Volcano National Park © credit Arizona Office of TourismFlagstaff: Sommerfrische zwischen Kiefernwäldern und SternenhimmelAls ich vor vielen Jahren mal die Route 66 unter die Räder genommen habe, war Flagstaff ein absolutes Muss. Auf rund 2.100 Metern Höhe bietet die Stadt eine willkommene Auszeit von der Wüstenhitze. Wander- und Mountainbike-Strecken führen durch die größten zusammenhängenden Ponderosa-Kiefernwälder der Welt. Dank der klaren Luft zählt Flagstaff außerdem zu den besten Orten der USA für Sternenbeobachtungen. Die Stadt mit ihren rund 77.000 Einwohnern gilt auch als Tor zum Grand Canyon.Lake Powell Foto © Arizona Office of Tourism Lake Powell: Hausboot statt HotelLake Powell, der riesige Stausee an der Grenze zu Utah, begeistert mit türkisblauem Wasser, versteckten Buchten und eindrucksvollen Sandsteinwänden. Besonders beliebt sind hier mehrtägige Hausboot-Urlaube, bei denen das Boot zum schwimmenden Ferienhaus wird.Prescott, Foto © AZ Robert MinklerPrescott: Kajakfahren zwischen GranitfelsenPrescott im Zentrum des US-Bundesstaates überrascht mit Granitfelsen, Seen und angenehm milden Sommertemperaturen. Am Watson Lake, Lynx Lake und Goldwater Lake laden Kajaktouren, Stand-up-Paddling, Angeln und Spaziergänge entlang markanter Granitformationen zu aktiven Sommertagen ein.

First mate Steve Hayes strides across the deck, grinning maniacally at the cowering crew. “Mine” he crows to himself. “Mine! The HMS Remnant is finally mine! Muahahaha!” The crew, downcast, is near despair. Then suddenly, all eyes turn to the gangplank. Haggard, sunburned, stricken, and emaciated, Jonah Goldberg stumbles onto the deck, takes Hayes by the collar, and gasps, “Sand. Nothing but sand.” After recovering down below, Captain Goldberg is back at the helm and ready to dive into the Grand Canyon, advertising, Vegas, Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, the Christianization thesis, black Helen, DSA, voter turnout, the stupidity of abolishing the Senate, “unfettered capitalism,” Hayek v. Friedman, conservative liberal or liberal conservative, Teddy Roosevelt, and postliberal collapse. Show Notes: —John Podhoretz on The Odessey —Tom Holland on The Odyssey —Matt Walsh tweet about The Odessey —Charlie Cooke on abolishing the Senate —Jonah in Commentary: “Socialism is so Hot Right Now” —Newsweek: “We Are All Socialist Now” —Escalon Insights poll on medicare for all —Live Sarah Isgur Remnant —Ron Bailey Remnant —Ask Me Anything Remnant —Jonah's book Liberal Fascism —Live Yuval Levin Remnant —Irving Kristol: “The American Revolution as a Successful Revolution” The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Day Out of Time: New Energies, Matrix Glitches, and the Aquarian Turning Point Rainbird, Rama, Tara, and recorded/channelled voices explore Mayan calendar energies, the Day Out of Time, the coming galactic year, Kryon's message about stepping into power without fear, Mel Lawson's matrix-vortex claims, Mother's ascension guidance, and Pam Gregory's astrology teaching on the North Node moving into Aquarius. Opening the Council Fire and Reading the Mayan Energies In this Hard News on Friday episode, Rainbird opens the program with a ceremonial invitation to breathe, enter the heart space, gather with guides and guardians, and call in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition. The episode then moves through the Mayan day-sign energies for the current day and week ahead, including Blue Rhythmic Hand, the Day Out of Time, Lamat, Muluc, White Solar Dog, Blue Planetary Monkey, Yellow Spectral Human, Red Crystal Skywalker, and White Cosmic Mirror. The corrected transcript notes that spiritual, astrological, political, and metaphysical claims have been preserved as speaker statements rather than verified factual claims. Healing, Stargates, and the New Galactic Year Rainbird frames the week as a movement through healing, visionary illumination, unconditional love, magical artistry, multidimensional contact, and self-clarity. Saturday is described as the Day Out of Time, connected with Lamat and the Stargate, while Sunday begins the new galactic year with Muluc, the galactic tone, and themes of artistry, spirit contact, remembrance, telepathy, and the “wise use of rational mind.” Rainbird presents these energies as a way to prepare for the year ahead, emphasizing healing, accomplishment, self-acceptance, and moving into a higher octave of experience. Donations, Community Support, and the Talking Stick After the calendar reading, Rainbird shifts into housekeeping and community support. The program asks listeners to help cover BBS Radio fees, assist Tara and Rama with rent and bills, and visit Rainbow-Roundtable.net for updates, pictures, and a GoFundMe connected to supplements and medicines. Rainbird then introduces the talking stick with a playful, celebratory image of a belated birthday cake, candles, fairies, feathers, elementals, and rainbow rays, before passing the program to Rama and Tara for the evening's larger spiritual and energetic discussion. Rama's Update and Kryon's Message About Power Without Fear Rama describes the moment as a major transition, pointing to the Day Out of Time, the new galactic year, rapid planetary change, and what he calls the ending of a timeline. He introduces a recorded/channelled Kryon message focused on “stepping into your power without fear.” Kryon's message teaches that lightworkers are entering a newer, lighter energy, but may still carry old defenses, fears, tools, and shields from darker times. The message encourages listeners to release old paradigms, study joy, reconnect with the inner child, laugh more, and understand that love, compassion, kindness, and guidance can lead them into greater power without fear. Mel Lawson, Matrix Layers, and the Grand Canyon Vortex The episode then features a recorded message from Mel Lawson, who discusses what she describes as the holographic projection of the matrix and a layered program that supports the illusion of physical reality. Mel claims that three global vortices have been used to support this matrix program and that one of them, located in a restricted area of the Grand Canyon, has been taken down. She says this marks the beginning of the illusion breaking down and predicts more glitches in the matrix program. Her message is presented as a spiritual/channelled claim and is not independently verified within the transcript. Mother's Message on Ascension, the Matrix, and Love as the Answer Tara and Rama then invoke spiritual support and pass the talking stick to Mother, whose channelled message describes planetary alignments, incoming solar frequencies, the Age of Aquarius, climate disruption, ascension, the fifth dimension, and the completion of the old timeline. Mother connects Mel Lawson's matrix language with the idea that programs and “agents of light” are waking people up, comparing the process to The Matrix. The message emphasizes staying neutral, sending love and compassion to painful world events, forgiving oneself, and understanding love rather than war as the primary way forward. Pam Gregory and the North Node in Aquarius The final major recorded segment features astrologer Pam Gregory discussing the nodal axis moving into Aquarius and Leo. She explains that the North Node enters Aquarius and the South Node enters Leo on July 26, remaining there until March 2028, and frames the nodes as points of destiny, soul growth, and collective evolution. Pam describes Aquarius themes of technology, AI, networks, community, collaboration, frequency, innovation, freedom, humanitarianism, and the power moving to the people, while the Leo South Node may bring questions around celebrity, royalty, privilege, elitism, grandiosity, leadership, and public-stage worship. The episode closes with gratitude for the evening, recognition of the Day Out of Time, birthday wishes, and a peaceful “Namaste.”

Die Enterprise gerät in einen interstellaren Sturm – und landet 65 Millionen Jahre in der Vergangenheit. Während Una, La'An und Ortegas zwischen Dinosauriern nach Iridium suchen, entdeckt Pike ein Geheimnis, das die Geschichte des gesamten Sonnensystems verändert. In unserer Folgenbesprechung zu „Valles Marineris“, dem Auftakt der vierten Staffel von Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, sprechen wir über: • den realen Mars-Canyon Valles Marineris • die Erde am Ende der Kreidezeit • den Chicxulub-Einschlag und das Ende der Dinosaurier • veränderte Sternbilder vor 65 Millionen Jahren • außerirdische Zivilisationen in der fernen Vergangenheit • die gefährliche Logik hinter Ancient Aliens • interstellaren Imperialismus und politische Gegenwartsbezüge • Pikes moralische Entscheidung und Kants Menschheitszweckformel • Iridium, Warp-Antriebe und sehr großzügige Planetenphysik Und natürlich beantworten wir die entscheidende Frage: Ist der Grand Canyon neben Valles Marineris überhaupt noch ein Canyon – oder nur eine ambitionierte Furche mit Souvenirshop? Spoilerwarnung: Wir besprechen die gesamte Episode. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #VallesMarineris #StarTrekSNW #CaptainPike #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast

It's kitchen sink week on Capitol Hill as House Speaker Mike Johnson rushes to schedule votes on key issues like a CR and the NDAA before lawmakers leave for August recess. But with no recent legislative wins, how will Congress members stump in their districts ahead of the midterms? Meanwhile in the Grand Canyon state, Republicans are attempting to bridge the divide between hard-liner politicians and a more moderate voter base. And filings for Sen.

Can science and Scripture really agree? In this episode of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we sit down with internationally recognized speaker, author, and founder of The Starting Point Project, Jay Seegert, to tackle one of the biggest questions facing Christians today: Can we confidently defend the authority of God's Word?

Besides the sky, blue is a color you don't often see in nature. It often signals poison, something artificial. True blue is astonishingly rare. But today, producers Amanda McGowan and Glydel Go take you to two places on opposite ends of the earth, with blues that feel almost otherworldly. We begin deep inside the Grand Canyon, at the Havasupai Indian Reservation, with a waterfall that is very much real, but feels magical. Then we look wayyyyyy down at Hinatuan Enchanted River, located in Surigao del Sur, Philippines. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tall grass - dead mower. That was my sad situation that spring. I tried everything to get my power mower going, but it really didn't want to start. Of course, that didn't stop the lawn from growing, no. I went away for a little while, came back, and the grass was now taking over. (Get your machete, Ron.) Well, I played with my mower again and again, and it still didn't respond. We were starting to look like maybe the set of a “Tarzan” movie. And my mower, oh it didn't care. So I started looking for alternative equipment to get the job done. Let's see, my hair clippers. Yeah, how about that uh...the ones you use for your haircuts? I was desperate, but I did not try to cut the grass with my hair clippers. No, they work great on hair; they would not work great on my lawn. But, on the other hand, how would you like to get your hair cut with a lawn mower? I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Missing Your Meaning.” Well, you'd have to wonder about someone who tried to use hair clippers to trim a lawn or a lawn mower to trim hair. They both work fine when you use them as they were supposed to be used. But machines don't work when you use them for something they weren't designed for and neither do we. And right there is the reason so many of us are wondering what the meaning of our life really is; why we still don't know the answer to life's most fundamental question “Why am I here?” We're missing what we were designed for and things just don't seem to be working. Even people who are enjoying a lot of success, whose life is pretty smooth, have to admit that in their honest moments it's still not very fulfilling. The meaning just isn't there. The peace isn't there. And when we're not living like we were designed to, things just don't work very well. Marriage doesn't work like it's supposed to, relationships don't, even our achievements. There's never enough love, never enough excitement, and never any real peace. Time to break out the Manufacturer's instructions. Of course I mean the Manufacturer of you and me. Here's how your Creator says you were designed to live. Put your life next to this blueprint and see how you're doing. It's in our word for today from the Word of God in Colossians 1:16. Speaking of Jesus Christ, God says, “All things were created by Him and for Him.” There's your created destiny in six words, “Created by Jesus and for Jesus.” Like the earth was created to revolve around the sun, you and I were created to revolve our life around the One who made us, but we don't. The reality is more like this: “Created for Him - living for me. In the Bible's words, “Each of us has turned to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6). If you're missing the meaning of it all, it's because you're missing the One who gives life meaning; the One who gave you your life in the first place and the One who gave His life so you could get back to your Creator. Jesus died on the cross to pay the death penalty for all of your “me first” choices so that Grand Canyon between you and God could finally be bridged. So you could finally know the peace of being who you were made to be - of belonging to the One whose love you were made for. Maybe you're ready to begin this awesome personal relationship with your Creator God. It's like coming home. If you'd like to, why don't you tell Jesus that right now? “Jesus, I'm Yours.” Tell Him you're putting all your trust in Him to be your rescuer from your sin. And only He had the power to walk out of His grave under His own power and to walk into your life. I'd love to have you visit our website today because there is the information you need to make sure you've begun a relationship with Jesus. That site is ANewStory.com. You've done enough days without the meaning you were made for haven't you; without the Savior you were made for? If you'll open your heart, you have just spent your last day without Him.
July 14, 2026In 1870, a US exploring expedition headed to the Yellowstone River and reported back about the natural wonders of the area, The House Committee on Public Lands warned about letting the area be spoiled by private interests, In 1982 President Grant signed the bill making Yellowstone a national park, In 1890, the federal government stepped in to protect Yosemite, Presidents of both parties continued to protect American lands, New York Republican Theodore Roosevelt most dramatically expanded the effort to protect western lands, Roosevelt used the Antiquities Act to create national monuments and, then, the Grand Canyon, Since the 1980s Republicans have pushed to reopen public lands to resource development, Trump signed an executive order in his first term to review the designations of 22 national monuments and ordered land reductions in two of them, Biden restored those monuments to their original size, But although the national parks and monuments attract millions of visitors, support thousands of jobs, and bring billions of dollars into the local economies, Project 2025 has urged that the Antiquities Act be repealed, The Supreme Court seems eager to get a case that will allow them to reduce the scope of the Antiquities Act, or eliminate it altogether.

This is Heather Hansman's third appearance on the podcast, and if you've been listening for a while, you know how much her work has shaped my own understanding of the West. Heather is an award-winning journalist and the author of "Downriver" and "Powder Days"—two books I reference constantly—and she's back today to talk about her brand-new book, Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild, which hits shelves the same day this episode is released. "Fierce Country" tells the stories of three women who were pivotal in shaping how we think about recreation and conservation today, yet whose stories have largely gone untold: Georgie White, one of the first Grand Canyon river guides; Anne LaBastille, an off-the-grid Adirondack guide and pioneering climate scientist; and Dolores LaChapelle, a legendary powder skier and environmental philosopher whose ideas helped launch the deep ecology movement. These are three complicated, larger-than-life characters, and Heather weaves their wild adventures together with her own personal story in a way that makes the book resonate no matter who you are. As always with Heather's work, it introduced me to ideas I didn't even know I needed to be thinking about. Heather and I talked about how she chose these three women and why their stories were left out of the history most of us learned, and we dug into some of the big ideas woven throughout the book—the heroine's journey versus the hero's journey, the superwoman myth, and the surprising research on men and women in outdoor sports. We discussed the double standards that outdoorswomen face, especially as parents, and the culture of harassment that unfortunately still exists in the outdoor world. We also chatted about Heather's recent investigative reporting on bots gaming the recreation.gov permit system, the importance of journalism and speaking truth to power, and how five years of living with these women's stories has changed the way Heather moves through the world.

In this episode of Life in Motion, Jeremy talks with Dean Knuth of Arizona River Runners about what it's actually like to experience the Grand Canyon from the river. Dean shares how he went from never having rafted before to spending more than a decade helping others take on one of the most memorable trips of their lives. They talk about the different ways to explore the canyon, why the trip is more approachable than many people think, and what happens when you trade your normal routine for a week on the water. Dean also shares a few unforgettable guest stories, including a 90-year-old finally checking off a lifelong dream and a reluctant camper who left the canyon with a poem in hand. It's a fun look at why this trip sticks with people long after they return home.Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.

The Grand Canyon draws five million tourists a year. What most visitors don't know is that the canyon is underexplored and far more mysterious than we imagine. Rumors talk of unexplained magnetic anomalies, ghostly figures seen by hikers, constant UFO sightings, and hidden caves sealed off by the government. The Grand Canyon is one of the world's seven natural wonders, but it may also be one of its greatest secrets.

This is a Vintage episode from 2010.This show was recorded in 2010 and discusses a high fructose corn syrup study in rats. The current human evidence does not support the Princeton rat-study implication that high fructose corn syrup is uniquely more fattening than sucrose, but excess added sugar in our food supply, as well as obesity, are still of concern today. Why This Episode MattersFred Harvey built one of America's first national hospitality systems, proving that restaurants could scale without abandoning quality, standards, or service.The Harvey organization changed railroad dining from a punchline into a disciplined operation built on fresh ingredients, trained staff, speed, and consistency.Stephen Fried's story connects restaurants to railroads, tourism, the Grand Canyon, Native American art markets, and the development of the American West.Mark Pascal and Francis Schott draw clear connections between Harvey's 19th-century service systems and the invisible cues still used in fine dining today.BanterMark and Francis begin with a discussion of a then-new Princeton study on high fructose corn syrup and weight gain. Francis uses the study to talk about how new food ingredients enter the American marketplace, while Mark argues that the rise of high fructose corn syrup seems difficult to separate from broader changes in the American diet and health.The ConversationStephen Fried joins The Restaurant Guys to discuss Appetite for America, his book about Fred Harvey and the railroad hospitality empire that helped shape dining in the American West. After years of eating terrible food while working around the railroads, Harvey began building trackside restaurants along the Santa Fe Railway. What started as a practical solution for hungry passengers became a national hospitality organization built on fresh ingredients, systems, and service.Stephen explains how Harvey's restaurants served high-quality meals during short train stops, using railroad logistics and refrigerator cars to bring fresh fish, steaks, imported ingredients, and regional specialties to places where good dining was rare.The conversation also explores the Harvey Girls, the trained female workforce that became central to the company's identity and service model. Their precision, speed, and hospitality helped define the Fred Harvey standard.Stephen also discusses the company's role in building American tourism, especially at the Grand Canyon and throughout the Southwest, and addresses its complex relationship with Native American art and culture. After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on the “magic” of restaurant service: the invisible signals, staff communication, and hospitality systems that make guests feel known without exposing the machinery behind the experience.Guest BioStephen Fried is an award-winning investigative journalist, essayist, author, and adjunct professor at Columbia University.

Photo: A loader prepares the Pinyon Plain Mine for uranium ore production on its lowest level more than 1,400 feet underground on Sept. 8, 2023. (Ryan Heinsius / KNAU) Arizona regulators approved a higher level of arsenic in groundwater under a uranium mine near the Grand Canyon. As KNAU's Chris Clements reports, it comes despite firm tribal opposition. In its decision allowing the higher levels, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality agreed with the owner of the Pinyon Plain Mine that the increase in arsenic is naturally occurring. That is despite two comments from groundwater scientists urging regulators to require more proof from Energy Fuels Resources, the mine owner. The scientists wrote that it is likely the mine is contributing to the higher levels, but an executive with Energy Fuels told KNAU in May that the higher arsenic levels are not the result of mining activity or discharge. The Havasupai Tribe condemned the regulators’ decision and said it would pursue every legal avenue it can to protect water in the Grand Canyon.

(Photo: Ryan Heinsius / KNAU) More than 200 intertribal youth joined community elders and mentors at the Native Youth Generational Leadership Summit to learn traditional and contemporary skills to foster strength and resiliency. (Photo: Monica Sue Minyard) This year’s Native Youth Generational Leadership Summit in Port Angeles, Wash. brought young Native people from across the country together to build community, learn about substance use prevention, and practice everyday skills, as Isobel Charle reports. The summit was hosted by the Lower Elwha Klallam and Spokane Tribes with support from the American Indian Health Commission. Tia Skerbeck with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council says the two-and-a-half-day summit included traditional practices that not all Native young people get to experience, like storytelling and talking circles. “We rely on those teachings and those practices to help carry through the prevention messages that we’re sharing with the youth and helping them develop some skills to become resilient. They’re not just little kids running around. They’re our future leaders.” Skerbeck adds the youth also shared what issues they would like to see their communities prioritize. She says while the summit was focused on youth, it was multi-generational and included elders who offered guidance and support. Audrey Gales is a 19-year-old Lower Elwha Klallam community member. Gales' auntie, Jacqueline Salyers, was killed by police in 2016. She says learning about issues related to Missing and Murdered Indigenous People and Women while calling for justice for her auntie and all Native victims of violence is close to her heart. She has been to a number of similar events over the years and encourages other young people to attend. “Especially if you’re Indigenous and it’s a Native summit, always attend. It’s always worth it. You learn so much, meet so many people.” She adds another highlight was learning how to make a salmon net out of stinging nettle and celebrating the return of fish populations to the Elwha River after her Tribe led the campaign to remove two dams there. The Ketchikan Indian Community launched a new community care package initiative for summer visitors and local residents. (Photo: Michael Fanelli / KRBD) The Ketchikan Indian Community (KIC) has launched a new initiative that combines tourism with community service. The Community Care Package Initiative invites visitors and local residents to assemble care packages with items such as socks, toiletries, hygiene products, and snacks for people experiencing homelessness in Ketchikan. According to the tribe, proceeds from the program will support its Permanent Supportive Housing project, which is expected to open in August and provide housing and supportive services for 28 people. The initiative builds on KIC’s efforts to address homelessness, including operating Ketchikan’s only overnight cold weather shelter for the past two years. The tribe says it hopes the program encourages visitors to support the local community while visiting Southeast Alaska. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

In part two of the Messy Action series, Lesley Logan reframes messy action as something you reach for first, not a backup plan or a last resort. She explains why holding out for the right conditions quietly keeps you stuck, and what it really takes to move forward when you cannot see every step ahead. Lesley also shares honest stories about how small daily practices helped her push past fears and grow her Pilates business.

Lesley Logan 0:04 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47 All right, Be It babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we do take messy action, and after 700 episodes, I hit my elbow on the thing, so I think that's perfect for the topic today. Because, my goodness, if you think you're supposed to be perfect after 700 episodes, you are mistaken, because you are a human being. I'm a human being, and we are all over here just trying to do the best we can. And if that's all you take away from this episode, that is enough. But we are on our messy action theme. So, on Tuesday, if you didn't listen to that episode we talked about stuck and how that can affect you taking action. Then we had a theme two or three weeks ago, maybe more, on what's keeping you stuck, and so the reality is that there's a lot of different things that keep us stuck, and we are often the reason why. We are often the one that gets in our own way. We blame it on other people, but it's typically usually us. It's our nervous system, it's our protection mode, it's our fear of responsibility, failure, judgment, all the things. So I want to talk about how messy action is a strategy. It's not just throwing things to the wall and seeing what sticks, although that can be it. It's actually more of a mantra to get you to take the first next step. So it's not a backup plan, it's not a last resort. I really think that's important to say, because most plans don't go the way that you expect, but if you have this idea that it doesn't have to be perfect, I just have to keep the next step going, then you will actually realize that you're not on a plan B or C. You're just working the first plan and following it with the momentum that it's getting, following the flow of the river. If a river hits a rock, it doesn't go, "Oh, I must stop." It goes around the rock, right? It goes on the next thing. It creates. It creates the Grand Canyon, so we keep going where it wants to go. So truly, messy action is the way forward. I love this: messy action isn't what you do when you don't know what you're doing, it's how you figure it out. It's not what you do when you don't know what you're doing, it's how you figure it out. So, instead of us reframing it like, "I don't know what to do here, so let's just throw this at the wall and see what happens," no, no, I gotta figure out what I gotta do, so let me try this over here. It's an experiment, right? If you skip ahead to the lovely intro, I like to listen to the intro on 1.5 speed, I'm not gonna lie, I like music that fast, but be it till you see it is identity through action, that's what it is. It's acting as if. There's a really good book called The As If Principle, and so if you act as if, then someday you will just become the as, the person, who you want to be, because you're practicing being that person. You're filtering things and decisions through the person you want to be. What would that person do if I was already that person? As opposed to waiting, which we already talked about in the last episode, how waiting is exhausting, it's annoying, it's frustrating. So messy action is really just normalizing imperfection.Lesley Logan 3:22 It means starting with 50% or 25% of the plan in mind. You know what the destination is, you don't really know the steps right before it, but you know that if you take these steps right here, you might get there. It's kind of like when they went off to see the Wizard. They're like, "It's that way," and they didn't know that there was a forest of apples and a bunch of monkeys that they were going to, but they could see it in the distance, and they could see the road right in front of them, and that's what they did. That's what starting with messy action is. It is posting before you think that the post is actually perfect, because I'll actually tell you that social media doesn't care if it's perfect. It's actually a waste of time, just put things up there. It is learning in real time. You get to be a learner. I'm still learning Pilates, and I've been teaching it for 20 years. I'm still learning. It's trying things out and adjusting as you have more information. That's taking messy action. Because having the perfect plan, let me tell you, things change. We taught at EDC. Let me tell you how much of that they had figured out to the T, who has what radio, who has what wristband, which wristband can go with what. Everything was well thought out, and then the weather sends it over 100 degrees. Okay, we've got misters. All right. Oh, now the weather is going to be 56 degrees, and the wind is going to go freaking crazy. You can plan everything to a T, and then the wind blows. So it's actually learning in real time. Okay, what can I do? What can I do? What can I do? We always talk about how if you want to support this podcast, you should be an OPC member. At OPC, we actually tell you it's brave and courageous to replace what you can't do yet with something you can do, and in doing that, you're constantly asking yourself, "Okay, what can I do? What can I do? What can I do? I can't do this, what can I do instead?" When you have that as a muscle in your brain, it allows you to take messy action more quickly, more easily, and just try it out. Oh, that was actually too hard for you today. Oh, that was actually exactly what I needed. Great, now you know. Messy action is not being reckless, it's being real. It's doing what needs to be done right now, and it definitely gets ruined if you're trying to be perfect. Lesley Logan 5:20 So, okay, I've told this story before, but I don't think I've told it in this context, and maybe you're new and you haven't heard it. In 2018, early 2018, I realized I needed to open my own studio. I never thought I would, didn't really want to. I liked the freedom of renting, but that freedom was getting hampered because the studio was getting busier, and so for me to film and record my tutorials, I had to go later and later at night. I don't like the evening. I was having a hard time recording at home because, one, I only had room for the mat, and two, they were doing construction all day long. And it was just really annoying to constantly move our furniture around in our studio apartment so I could film, and I wanted to add reformer classes. So if I wanted to add reformer classes, I needed to open my own studio. So I thought I had this perfect plan. I knew the location I wanted. I ordered the equipment that I wanted. I had the perfect move-in date. I told the studio that was being run by some friends of mine when I was going to leave. I was like, "Let me stay until it's time, till my equipment arrives." And guess what? I didn't get to wait till my equipment arrived. They didn't like that, and so luckily I had the keys to the space. We had hung some stuff on the wall, and I texted all of my clients, "Hey, we're going to be here tomorrow, starting tomorrow. This is so exciting. Here's where you're going to come."Lesley Logan 6:38 And on the first day, I didn't have a trash can, didn't even have a trash can for them. They're like, "Where do I put this paper towel?" And I'm like, "Oh yeah, right over there, just in that box. I'm gonna go get a trash can on my next break." I also borrowed a Reformer from a friend, and I borrowed a Ped-O-Pull from a friend. I was just asking people, like, "Hey, what extra things do you have while I wait for my stuff to show up?" And then every day, Brad and I would try to put the studio more and more together, hit a Bed Bath & Beyond up with my coupons, and got the things that I needed. Got a fan, got a trash can, waited for a chair to come, it took forever, so it was frustrating, because I wanted my clients to move into this perfect studio. Guess what? They actually loved being part of the evolution. They actually thought it was fun to see every time they came in what new things we've done to the studio, what new equipment had arrived, what pieces had arrived. And so, yeah, I was embarrassed that I wasn't able to finish out my time at the other studio, but if I had let that drive the decisions I was making, I would not have been able to see what delight my clients took in being part of the journey, being part of the creation, letting me know, "Oh, I like that over there. Oh, actually, let's put that. Have you tried that over there?" It was so fun to let them help me decorate, so it was actually one of the coolest things that ever happened. And I'm really grateful, because my clients actually got really excited about the Ped-O-Pull because they had to use the Ped-O-Pull for 30 minutes, because that's all we had. It was just a lot of fun, and I would have missed out on that memory and that challenge, and how it made my brain have to force itself to be creative in that situation. Lesley Logan 8:13 So, how do you do that? What would help you take messy action? Well, make the next step smaller. Can you do it in two minutes? Make it one step only, so it's not like, "Oh, I got to build my website with messy action." No, I need to order, buy the URL. Okay, I need to look at platforms where I can run a website. Okay, I need to choose a platform that I like. Oh, actually, before I do that, I need to compare the platforms, right? Like, what do I want them to do? Don't put "build your website" on your daily tasks, because that's too overwhelming. Can I make it fun, right? For my ADHD people: put music on, add movement to it, set a timer. I love a timer. I have a little kitchen timer on my desk, and it's really helpful for me when I'm feeling stuck and I just need to take action. I'm like, "Okay, I only have to work on this for the next 15 minutes," right? And that really helps me just get going, because I only have 15 minutes, so I'm just gonna do the best I can. I would also say remove the planning loops. You probably have planned enough already. Take the first step in your plan, but if taking an action just feels too big, it's because it's too big, right? So, you got to make it as small as possible. Go back to our habit series if you want to understand what that means and why that's important. Especially for my people who need the dopamine high to keep going, gotta make it small, gotta make it achievable. The other thing I would just say is make sure you're doing nervous system checks. You know, are you breathing? You start to hold your breath while you're thinking about doing something. There's a lot of fear that we got to breathe through. It's gonna be really hard to take action if we are holding our breath. And if your nervous system is feeling overloaded, overwhelmed, say it out loud. It's really, really helpful. Like, Brad and I will be working on something, and sometimes I'm like, "Oh my god, I'm just having, I'm actually scared, I'm having too much emotion around this right now," and it really does help to call that out, and to go, "Okay." Because why am I doing that? What's the fear that I'm having there? Is the fear that I'm having around this because I have a fear of responsibility, fear of judgment, fear of failure? Okay, so what is coming up? Because a lot of times it's just stuff that's in our head from our past experiences, or the way we were raised, and we can get in our own way when those things didn't even exist. We just made a story up. So it's really important that you're doing a nervous system check, that you have people around you that you can go, "Hey, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. Can I tell you what's going on?" And their job is not to be like, "Oh, you're fine." Their job is to go, "Sure, what's going on?" And then not give you 17 pieces of advice. It's to remind you to take messy action, and you can do this, right? I was having a little anxiety getting ready for something. I talked about this in an FYF. My husband's like, "Oh, let's call these people," and I was like, "Absolutely not. Those people are not going. I love those people. They're great people. Those people are not going to make me feel better in this situation. They're going to make me feel more nervous. So, who else can we call?" So, he called someone else who screamed with joy and exclamation, which really got me out of my head, right? So, maybe the first thing you do for your messy action is write down who do you call when you need a reminder to take messy action. So this is a hopefully good reminder. You're not forcing yourself into action, you are supporting yourself into action. Not forcing yourself into messy action, you are supporting yourself into messy action. Lesley Logan 11:33 Well, you know, at this podcast we really love to celebrate little wins, right? Sometimes I have a big win that we share, but typically they're like we're in the process of something, and so what's really important for me to help you understand when it comes to messy action, you have to build momentum, which means having a small win stack. So every single day, what did you do that day that we can celebrate? Because if we're waiting until you finish the project, like for example, building the website, we're gonna be waiting for a fucking long time, six to eight weeks at least, right? Longer if you don't know what you're doing, so how can we be like, "I bought the URL," and make that super fun, and take people on the journey so they can share with you? The momentum is built in moments, not masterpieces. And so, yes, it's really beautiful to look at the sculpture when it's done, but mostly sculptures take years to do, and if artists only celebrated when it was done, that's not the best way. I would say they need to celebrate along the way, because it makes them enjoy the process. You're gonna enjoy the process more. So, this whole podcast is about being it until you see it, and the only way to be it until you see it is to act as if, which means you're not gonna know how to do it perfectly, because you're not her yet. You're being it until you see it to be who that person is. You don't know who it is, you're guessing, and so the only way that we can do that is to take the messy action, take some action, because it's the antidote to fear, it's how we get clarity. And if you really do think about, if you really do embody, be it till you see it, then you would be asking yourself, "Okay, the version of me that I want to be, what would they be doing right now?" Well, they would be doing this thing. Okay, then I go do that thing. They wouldn't be scared of that, right?Lesley Logan 13:05 For example, I remember when I was first starting the brands, and I was just getting really overwhelmed by all that I had to do, all the decisions I had to make, and I heard this person say, "CEOs don't put out every fire, they know which fires to put out." And I was like, "Oh, I'm the CEO of this company." I'm not now, thank God, I am the Chief Pilates Officer, the CVO, Chief Visionary Officer, but at the time I was the only employee for the company, and I was like, "Okay, I'm not supposed to put out every fire, I'm supposed to know which fires to put out. So if I was a CEO, what fires would I know are the ones to put out?" And just by acting like I knew what I was doing, I was like, "Oh, it's this one over here," right? That's it. That's the thing. So you're just gonna keep practicing what this whole podcast is about, be it till I see it. Ask that version of you, what would she do? What action would she take? She wouldn't be getting in her own way, you know that. And here's the deal: every time you take action, you actually prove to yourself that you can do it. You teach yourself what's possible, and that's how you build confidence. It's not by waiting. We do not build confidence through waiting. In fact, we actually chip away at our confidence every time we delay taking action on the thing we want to do. We do. It's how it works. It's how it works. So, my loves, now that we know you're not stuck, and we know you're not unmotivated, and we know you're not behind, you've just been waiting to feel ready, waiting with a little fear, waiting until things are perfect. But we're not doing that anymore, because the be it till you see it version of you would take the messy action. Lesley Logan 13:51 So, I want to know which action you're going to take. What's your first next step? Send it in to the beitpod.com/questions. Send in what you're needing more advice and support on when it comes to be it till you see it.

After a season of deep travel, motherhood transitions, and personal reflection, I began seeing the hidden loops of overworking, overwhelm, worthiness, and old conditioning that were still shaping my life. I share how patterns are not random. They are often protecting something deeper, and true healing begins when we understand what those patterns are trying to keep us safe from.I also share why I'm beginning a powerful new series connected to the Netflix documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet, including my upcoming conversations with Dr. Christine Marie and Nomz. Through my own Mormon upbringing, cognitive dissonance, and the deeper lessons around belief systems, manipulation, cult dynamics, and self-trust, this episode is an invitation to question what you have inherited, reclaim your voice, and come home to your truth. This conversation is for anyone ready to break free from old programming, trust themselves again, and live from a deeper place of freedom, love, and inner knowing.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Breaking patterns and becoming someone new(3:12) Life transitions that awaken change(5:27) Europe, identity, and pattern interruption(8:03) Overwork, overwhelm, and worthiness triggers(10:54) What your patterns are protecting(13:19) How new experiences rewire old beliefs(17:15) Nightly questions to break old patterns(18:46) Why I'm opening a new podcast series(19:43) My Mormon roots, doubts, and early conditioning(22:54) Cognitive dissonance and questioning inherited beliefs(27:39) An invitation to reclaim your truth(29:54) The mission behind this new series(32:00) Final encouragement to trust yourself again
