(SHOW OPEN): Gordon is not leaning towards the optimistic side when it comes to the Aaron Judge injury update the Yankees delivered late on Thursday night.

What if the pressure to be “good” is making women physically sick? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Dan sits down with award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and author Sara Hirsh Bordo to explore the powerful connection between autoimmune disease, trauma, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment as well as to discuss Sara's powerful new book Autoimmunity and the Good Girls: How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well. After being diagnosed with multiple serious health conditions—including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, melanoma, tumors, Epstein-Barr, mold poisoning, and heavy metal toxicity—Sara began asking a life-changing question: What if years of self-betrayal were making her body turn against itself? Through deeply personal storytelling, groundbreaking research, and profound insight, Sara shares how decades of prioritizing others over herself created patterns that impacted both her emotional and physical well-being. Together, she and Dr. Dan unpack the “good girl” conditioning so many women experience, the hidden cost of chronic self-sacrifice, and how reclaiming authenticity may be one of the most important healing journeys of all. This conversation is compassionate, courageous, and transformative—for women, men, families, leaders, and anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and healing.

In this authentic conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with EJ and Tarah Kerwin, founders of Relationship Renovation and hosts of the Relationship Renovation Podcast, to explore what it truly takes to build emotional safety, trust, and lasting connection in our relationships. Drawing from both their professional expertise and personal journey as a couple, EJ and Tarah open up about the challenges, breakthroughs, and courage required to do the work to make a relationship work. With Dr. Dan, EJ and Tarah remind us that real relationships are messy and that is exactly where growth begins. This powerful episode dives into the heart of relationship dynamics—how past experiences shape present behaviors, why conflict is inevitable, and how unresolved pain can turn into disconnection. More importantly, it reveals how couples can move from fracture to healing by shifting from blame to self-awareness, from fear to clarity, and from isolation to connection. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how vulnerability, compassion, and intentional effort can transform not just relationships—but themselves. If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward in a relationship, this conversation offers both hope and a path forward.

On this new episode, Dr. Dan sits down with Faith Freed, licensed psychotherapist and author of DIY Spirituality, to explore how self-awareness, mindset, and intentional living can help you create a deeper sense of purpose and connection.

What followed was a path toward integrating psychology and spirituality—one that now empowers others to build their own framework for growth, healing, and fulfillment.

In this deeply powerful conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with bestselling author Blake D. Bauer, author of You Were Not Born to Suffer: Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Happiness, Confidence and Peace, to explore how adversity can become a source of transformation. Dr. Dan and Blake explore why pain isn't punishment and how suffering points us toward healing, purpose, and freedom. Blake shares his personal journey through addiction, trauma, shame, and emotional pain—and how hitting rock bottom at just 18 years old forced him to choose between healing or self-destruction. That decision led him on a global journey of self-discovery that transformed his life and now helps thousands of others do the same. Together, Dr. Dan and Blake unpack the butterfly metaphor for growth, why suffering can serve a purpose, how childhood wounds shape adult behavior, and why unconditional self-love may be one of the most important skills we can develop. They also explore how self-betrayal shows up in everyday life, why many people struggle to listen to their bodies, and how healing begins when we stop waiting to be rescued and start permitting ourselves to heal. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible—and freedom may be closer than you think. For more information, visit www.unconditional-selflove.com and on Instagram @blakedbauer.

Background to the Poem and Poet that stage managed Hitler into being“Dietrich Eckart wrote a poem that referred to a "Great One" or "Nameless One," expressing his belief in a coming "German Messiah" who would redeem the nation. ““Dietrich Eckart, a significant figure in the early Nazi movement, wrote a poem that expressed his anticipation of a "German Messiah." This poem, composed months before he met Adolf Hitler, referred to a "Great One" or "Nameless One," indicating Eckart's belief in a savior who would redeem Germany from its post-World War I struggles.”“Eckart's belief in a coming savior led him to view Hitler as the embodiment of this prophesied figure. He recognized Hitler's potential as a leader and demagogue, which significantly influenced Hitler's rise within the German Workers' Party and later the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP).Eckart's mentorship and support were crucial in shaping Hitler's political identity and oratory skills, ultimately contributing to the establishment of the Nazi regime.”“Dietrich Eckart's poem about the "Great One" reflects themes of nationalism, antisemitism, and the idea of a messianic leader for the German people, aligning with his broader political and ideological views. His adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" also incorporated these themes, portraying the protagonist as a superior Germanic hero battling against implicitly Jewish "trolls."”It takes a group of people desperate for position and proximity to power to create hell … Hitlers Inner Circle (posted from DUCKDUCK)Key Figures in Hitler's Inner CircleAdolf Hitler's inner circle consisted of influential leaders who played significant roles in the Nazi regime. Here are some of the most notable members:1. Hermann Göring Position: Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe and Reichsmarschall. Roles: Founder of the Gestapo, Minister of the Economic Four-Year Plan, and designated successor to Hitler in 1941. 2. Joseph Goebbels Position: Reich Minister for Propaganda. Roles: Controlled all media and public information, known for his powerful speeches that mobilized the German populace. 3. Martin Bormann Position: Head of the Nazi Party Chancellery. Roles: Hitler's personal secretary, controlled access to Hitler and all information flow, had significant influence over domestic policies. 4. Albert Speer Position: Chief Architect and Reich Minister for Armaments. Roles: Responsible for increasing Germany's armaments production, developed a close personal relationship with Hitler. 5. Wilhelm Keitel Position: Field Marshal and Chief of the Supreme High Command. Roles: Chief of Defense for Germany, played a crucial role in military operations. 6. Joachim von Ribbentrop Position: Foreign Minister. Roles: Key diplomat, brokered significant pacts like the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. 7. Walther Funk Position: Reich Minister of Economics. Roles: Managed economic policies and was involved in financial institutions.

Dr. Dan sits down with Melissa Doman, Organizational Psychologist, former mental health therapist, founder of The Workplace Mental Health Method™ and the author of Cornered Office: Why We Need To Talk About Leadership Mental Health to discuss one of the biggest blind spots in modern leadership: mental health. They explore all things leadership and apply a fresh take: we must acknowledge the truth that leaders are human, too. Dr. Dan and Melissa explore the hidden pressures leaders face, the myths we continue to believe, and why ignoring mental health at the top impacts everyone. Melissa brings both clinical insight and real-world experience to break down why vulnerability, self-awareness, and emotional honesty are not weaknesses—but essential leadership skills. This episode dives into the nuance of mental health in the workplace, the importance of understanding neurodiversity, and how leaders and organizations can begin to create cultures where people can actually thrive.   If you're a leader, aspiring leader, or simply someone committed to growth and authenticity, this conversation will challenge your mindset and inspire you to think differently about what it truly means to lead.

We are all waiting for permission that is never going to come. We cling to the illusion of a safe life, pretending that incremental improvements are the same thing as actual growth. Talia Lazarus didn't plan on changing her life; the universe intervened in the form of a devastating bus accident. In the agonizing space of her recovery, she confronted a profound truth: she was living a script written by someone else. So, she burned it down. This episode is about the radical shift from accepting what is, to choosing what could be. It explores the "doorstep mile"—the immense, invisible friction of taking the first step toward true purpose. You don't need a catastrophe to change your posture in the world. You just need to stop looking in the rear-view mirror and realize that your constraints are entirely invented. How to identify the difference between real growth and the illusion of progress. The art of embracing the "doorstep mile" to finally ship your true work. Why surrendering your past is the only way to build a meaningful future. Listen to this conversation and discover how to stop waiting, step over the threshold, and choose a great life today. SPONSORS

Dr. Dan sits down with TEDx speaker Jinesha Jain to discuss success and what happens when our achievement outpaces our alignment.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thetwelfthhouse.substack.comThere's a 1971 academic article that I've been thinking about a LOT lately. It's called “That's Interesting!” It's by a sociologist named Murray Davis, and it is technically about how to develop academic theories that people actually give a s**t about — ideas that are not just important, but are also interesting. I read it as part of my PhD research, but while I was I kept thinking: this is copywriting. This is pitching. This is why some content makes you stop scrolling and some doesn't. This is MARKETING, B***H. This is how to stress-test any idea for sticky-ness. This is how to come up with ideas that make you a thought leader.Davis's central argument is that a theory becomes important not because it's true, but because it's interesting. Truth has almost nothing to do with influence. (See: the entire internet.) What makes an idea sticky is that it disturbs something the audience already assumed. It catches them mid-expectation and redirects them somewhere they didn't see coming.Quick aside for holographic repatterning healer rec:

Dr. Dan speaks to Nancy Howard Cobb about the 25th anniversary edition of her paradigm shifting book about grief and human connection In Lieu of Flowers: A Conversation for the Living. Nancy's book was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and over the years has helped many people deal with mourning, grief, death and dying – from hospices, medical schools, bookstores, and conferences to families dealing with grief privately at home. As part of Make It a Great One's two episode grief series, Dr. Dan and Nancy explore grief not as an ending, but as a doorway to connection, authenticity, and growth. They demonstrate that grief is not something to fix but instead it is something to feel, understand, and ultimately integrate into a meaningful life. Nancy brings decades of experience speaking about death, loss, and the human condition—and shares how telling the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, can be one of the most liberating and healing acts we can take. This episode challenges the way we think about grief, inviting us to move away from avoidance and toward courage, compassion, and deeper self-awareness. From personal loss to collective grief, this conversation is a reminder that we are all connected and that through that connection we can find resilience and meaning.

When she fractured her dominant surgical arm, she was faced with a profound question: Who am I if I can't do the thing that has defined me for decades? This experience transformed Dr. Durga, and she emerged with clarity, empowerment, and an expanded vision for her next chapter.  Today's episode explores the scarcity vs. abundance mindset, the power of vision and visualization, and why it's never too late to expand, evolve, and become who you're meant to be personally and professionally. Dr. Durga's awakening is one we can all experience. Her journey and her book prove we can live vibrantly, intentionally, and with deep authenticity at any age – and especially as we age.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, there is an ongoing effort to hijack the conservative movement and MAGA, which is rooted in the Tea Party and constitutional conservatism. We reject any defense of the Third Reich, attacks on Christians, Jews, or Israel, and sabotage from within. True patriots focus on real threats like illegal immigration, Islamism, economic socialism, ideological Marxism, and figures from George Soros to the woke Reich neo-fascists. These infiltrators pretend to seek debate but aim to control and destroy the movement, much like Marxists and Islamists. President Trump independently learned about this ongoing internal battle within the conservative movement and MAGA and posted a supportive message to Mark Levin on Truth Social. The post reaffirms MAGA's commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and achieving peace through strength and dismisses critics like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. Trump threw down the gauntlet against neo-fascists, anti-Semitism, Nazism, and character assassination. Also, Joy Reid said women in Iran have it better than in America. She's free to leave and join Carlson in Qatar or, she might enjoy the life of a woman in Iran. And do the so-called women's groups even exist anymore? The past few years have seen the most shocking abuse of women by Hamas and Iran and mostly crickets. Later, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute Roger Zakheim calls in and explains that Trump is doing the right thing in Iran. The effort is going well and the United States and its military are winning, though mainstream media fails to report this positively. Zakheim believes President Reagan would thank Trump for finishing the war against Iran, which began its acts of terrorism in the Persian Gulf during Reagan's presidency.

Send a textThe difference between a good camping trip and a great one is usually a few minutes of research. We've both shown up thinking we made a smart choice, only to learn the hard way that “quiet” depends on where your site sits, what the washrooms are like, and whether you accidentally booked beside the generator crowd.We walk through how we research a camping destination step by step, from choosing the right park based on driving time, crowd levels, dog friendliness, and the best season to go. We share where we actually look for reliable info: Ontario Parks and Parks Canada websites, campground maps, Google Maps satellite view, travel blogs, YouTube campground walkthroughs, and campsite photo communities that show you what a booking page never will.Then we get practical about what to check before you click Reserve: privacy ratings, sun versus shade, distance to water, proximity to playgrounds and boat launches, and the little things that can make a site noisy or smelly. We also dig into amenities and facilities like toilet types, comfort stations, drinking water access, firewood quality, camp stores, laundry, boat launches, and RV dump stations. If you're thinking about backcountry camping, we cover the essentials too: permits, route difficulty, portages, water sources and filtration, bear activity, navigation, offline maps, and tools like AllTrails and Gaia GPS, plus weather, bugs, water levels, and fire bans.If you want more hidden gems and fewer surprises, come camp with us.

Learner is the ability and commitment to continuously seek new knowledge, skills, and perspectives—and to apply them to improve oneself, one's team, and organizational outcomes. 10 Ways Continuous Learning Can Take You From a Good Leader to a Great One article by Entreprenuer.com  and written by Tonia Ryan   "We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience."

Dr. Dan reconnects with his very first podcast guest(!) veteran educator and special education advocate Larry Davis to explore what it truly means to teach—and lead—in today's world. Drawing from more than four decades in education across 11 school districts, Larry shares insights from his new book, The Happy Camper Classroom, and reframes teaching as one of the most demanding leadership roles in our society. Today's educators are not simply delivering curriculum—they are first responders, social workers, emotional anchors, and architects of belonging. At the heart of this episode is a powerful truth: learning cannot happen without safety, connection, and regulation. Larry explains why compliance is no longer the glue that holds classrooms together—and what must replace it. Through resilience, self-awareness, compassion, and authentic connection, teachers can create environments where students feel safe, valued, and empowered. This conversation extends beyond education and is for every age and every stage of life. Dr. Dan and Larry's discussion about leadership, personal growth, and the courage to look inward will inspire and enlighten listeners.  When we shift from a reactive mindset to a resilient one we can embrace discomfort as a pathway to growth.  For more information please visit www.thehappycamperclassroom.com and www.specialeducationadvocacy.org.  Contact Larry ldavissped at gmail dot com.

Hi, gang; it's nice to be back among the land of the living and (mostly) to have my voice back! Thanks for the notes of encouragement last week.I'm going to continue with the updated format we rolled out last week, giving some summaries of the texts for this Sunday, along with some preaching notes and such. As always, I truly welcome your feedback as to what is helpful and what is not — particularly. So, away we go! “The Great One” aka Jackie Gleason demonstrating his Away We Go poseRCL Texts1 Samuel 16:1–13God sends Samuel to Bethlehem to anoint a new king from Jesse's sons. Samuel assumes the oldest, strongest-looking son must be the one, but God interrupts that instinct: “The Lord does not see as mortals see… the Lord looks on the heart.” One by one, the obvious candidates pass by. Finally David, the youngest, is brought in from tending sheep, and God says, “Rise and anoint him.” The Spirit rushes upon David from that day forward. The passage confronts human fixation on appearance, status, and first impressions, and it highlights God's freedom to choose the overlooked.Preaching note:God's election disrupts our ranking systems. The text is not anti-giftedness; it is anti-reduction of people to image, polish, or social weight.Pastoral caution:Don't weaponize “God looks at the heart” to dismiss responsible leadership discernment or to romanticize inexperience.Application move:Invite the congregation to reconsider one person they have underestimated — in church, family, or community — and pray for eyes trained by God rather than by appearance.Psalm 23This psalm speaks in intimate trust: the Lord is shepherd, host, guide, and protector. It moves from green pastures to dark valleys without pretending the valley is unreal. God's presence is not only for peaceful seasons but also for threatening ones: “You are with me.” The tone shifts from third person (“he”) to second person (“you”) in the valley, suggesting nearness in trouble. The psalm ends not with escape from life but with confident belonging — dwelling in God's house, held by goodness and mercy.Preaching note:Psalm 23 is not sentimental denial. It names threat and still confesses trust because God is near, not because life is easy.Pastoral caution:Avoid using this psalm to force quick comfort on grieving people (“you should feel peaceful by now”).Application move:Offer a breath prayer for anxious moments this week:Inhale: “You are with me.”Exhale: “I will not fear.”Ephesians 5:8–14Paul reminds believers of identity and calling: “Once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light.” Not merely “in darkness,” but darkness — a condition now transformed by Christ. Because of that change, the church is to “live as children of light,” producing goodness, justice, and truth. The passage rejects unfruitful works of darkness and calls for discernment about what pleases the Lord. The closing line (“Sleeper, awake… and Christ will shine on you”) sounds like a baptismal wake-up call: step out of hiddenness and into Christ's illuminating life.Preaching note:Paul roots ethics in identity. We don't behave into belonging; we live differently because we already belong to Christ.Pastoral caution:Don't preach “light vs darkness” in ways that fuel self-righteousness or stigmatize those in depression, doubt, or struggle.Application move:Ask people to choose one concrete “light practice” for Lent: truth-telling, restitution, reconnection, or daily examen before bed.John 9:1–41Jesus sees a man blind from birth, and the disciples ask whose sin caused it. Jesus refuses that blame framework and says God's works will be revealed. He heals the man with mud and water, sending him to wash in Siloam. As the man gains sight, conflict escalates: neighbors debate, religious leaders investigate, parents fear social consequences, and the healed man grows bolder in testimony. Ironically, those who claim spiritual sight become harder and more blind, while the one once blind comes to faith and worship. The story is about more than physical healing; it is about revelation, courage, and the cost of confessing Jesus.Preaching note:Jesus rejects simplistic blame and restores dignity. The healed man's journey moves from partial understanding to public witness to worship.Pastoral caution:Do not imply disability is a spiritual object lesson or punishment. The text centers Jesus' works, not human fault.Application move:Challenge the church to interrupt blame-language this week (“Who caused this?”) and replace it with mercy-language (“How can God's care show up here?”).An optional sermon outline (with illustration ideas)“From Blind Assumptions to Living in the Light”Core Claim: God sees truly, stays near, and calls us to walk in Christ's light.1) God Sees What We MissText: 1 Samuel 16:1–13• Samuel looks at appearance; God looks at the heart.• David is overlooked, yet chosen and anointed.• Lent confronts our habit of judging by surface: polish, confidence, résumé, class, age.Preaching move:Name the church's temptation to mistake visibility for calling.Illustration #1 (Hiring Panel / Audition):A hiring committee nearly rejects a candidate because they're quiet and unimpressive in first-round small talk. But their portfolio reveals deep wisdom and consistency. The “obvious” pick had charisma; the right pick had substance.Point: We often confuse presentation with depth.───2) God Is With Us in the Valley, Not Just Beyond ItText: Psalm 23• The psalm includes both green pastures and dark valleys.• The turning point is not changed scenery but changed presence: “You are with me.”• Lent teaches trust in God's companionship when outcomes are unresolved.Preaching move:Pastor people away from shallow optimism toward durable trust.Illustration #2 (Night Drive in Fog):Driving in dense fog, you can't see far ahead. You move safely not because you can see the whole road, but because headlights give enough light for the next stretch.Point: God often gives “next-step” light, not full-map certainty.───3) Christ Moves Us from Blame to WitnessTexts: Ephesians 5:8–14; John 9:1–41• Disciples ask, “Who sinned?” Jesus refuses blame logic.• Healing leads to conflict, interrogation, and eventually worship.• Paul: “You were darkness, now you are light… live as children of light.”• Christian maturity means truthfulness, courage, and mercy—not scapegoating.Preaching move: Call the church to be a community where people are restored, not reduced.Illustration #3 (Recovery Story / Public Testimony):A person in recovery says, “People used to ask what was wrong with me. A mentor asked what happened to me and what healing might look like.” That shift changed everything.Point: Blame imprisons; grace opens a future.───Conclusion / InvitationThis week, invite the congregation to:1. Re-examine one judgment they've made by appearance.2. Pray Psalm 23 daily in one anxious moment (“You are with me”).3. Replace blame with witness in one hard conversation (“How might Christ bring light here?”).Narrative Lectionary TextJohn 18:28–40 (Jesus and Pilate)Jesus is brought from the religious hearing to the Roman governor's headquarters. The leaders avoid ritual defilement so they can eat Passover, while simultaneously pressing for Jesus' execution — a sharp irony about outward purity and inward injustice. Pilate questions Jesus: “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus reframes kingship: his kingdom is “not from this world,” meaning it does not arise from coercion, violence, or imperial logic. He says he came to testify to the truth, and those who belong to the truth listen to his voice. Pilate responds with the famous, evasive question: “What is truth?” Though Pilate repeatedly signals Jesus' innocence, he yields to crowd pressure and offers the Passover release choice. The crowd chooses Barabbas, and Jesus is rejected. The scene exposes political fear, compromised leadership, and the quiet authority of Christ's truth.Preaching note:The passage is not mainly about a private religious dispute; it is about the collision between God's truth and public systems of power. Jesus is not passive — he is clear, composed, and sovereign even while being judged.Pastoral caution:Avoid preaching this text in a way that collapses into anti-Jewish blame. The Gospel scene includes multiple compromised actors (religious and political), and the deeper diagnosis is human fear and sin across the board.Application move:Invite the congregation to examine one place this week where they are tempted to choose convenience over truth — then take one concrete step of truthful speech or faithful action.Psalm 145:10–13 (Optional NL Psalm)These verses are a doxology of God's kingship. All creation blesses God; the faithful speak of God's glory so that all people may know God's mighty acts. The kingdom of God is described as everlasting and enduring through every generation. In context with John 18, the psalm functions as a theological contrast: earthly rulers protect fragile power, but God's reign is steady, trustworthy, and not subject to panic or spin.Preaching note:The psalm gives the church its public vocabulary: we announce God's reign not as propaganda, but as testimony to God's enduring character.Pastoral caution:Don't turn “God's kingdom” into partisan language or culture-war slogans. The text points to God's universal, generational, mercy-shaped reign.Application move:Give a simple Lenten practice: each day name one headline-driven fear, then pray, “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; steady my heart in your rule.”Optional Sermon Outline “What Is Truth? Christ's Kingdom in a Fearful World”Core Claim: When fear distorts judgment, Jesus remains the truthful King, and the church is called to bear witness to God's enduring kingdom.1) Religious Appearance Can Hide Moral CompromiseText: John 18:28–32• Leaders avoid ritual defilement before Passover, yet pursue an unjust outcome.• John exposes the disconnect between external purity and internal posture.• Lent calls us to integrity, not image-management.Preaching move:Name how easy it is to keep religious habits while avoiding hard obedience.Suggested illustration #1 (Polished Exterior):A house can have a freshly painted front porch while the foundation quietly cracks.Point: Cosmetic faith is not structural faith.───2) Jesus Redefines Kingship Through Truth, Not ForceText: John 18:33–38a• Pilate asks political questions; Jesus gives theological answers.• “My kingdom is not from this world” = not sourced by domination, manipulation, or violence.• Jesus' mission: “to testify to the truth.”• “Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”Preaching move:Show that Christian allegiance is formed by Christ's voice before it is shaped by public anxiety.Suggested illustration #2 (Tuning Fork):A tuning fork sets the reference pitch; every instrument must tune to it or the whole ensemble drifts.Point: Christ is the reference tone for truth; without him, we normalize dissonance.───3) Fear Chooses Barabbas, but God's Kingdom EnduresText: John 18:38b–40 + Psalm 145:10–13• Pilate knows Jesus is innocent but caves to pressure.• The crowd chooses Barabbas — immediate control over inconvenient truth.• Psalm 145 counters this instability: God's kingdom is everlasting, generation to generation.• The church's task: speak of that kingdom clearly and calmly.Preaching move: Call the congregation from reactive fear to steady witness.Suggested illustration #3 (News Cycle vs. Bedrock):Headlines change by the hour; bedrock does not.Point: Public narratives shift fast, but God's reign is not up for reelection.───Conclusion / InvitationThis week, invite people to three responses:1. Confession: Where am I curating appearances instead of walking in truth?2. Discernment: Which voice is shaping my fear most — Christ's or the crowd's?3. Witness: One concrete act of truth-telling, mercy, or courage in Christ's name. This is a public episode.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with leadership strategist, researcher, and executive coach and author Dr. Debra Clary to explore why curiosity may be the most overlooked—and most essential—leadership skill of our time. Deb shares her remarkable journey from driving a Frito-Lay delivery truck after earning her MBA to advising Fortune 500 executives and the publication of her book The Curiosity Curve: A Leader's Guide to Growth and Transformation Through Bold Question. Along the way, she reveals how resilience, humility, and bold questions shaped her leadership philosophy and helped spark transformational change inside some of the world's most iconic organizations. Together, Dr. Dan and Debra explore why certainty can hinder growth, how curiosity fuels engagement and performance, and why fear and curiosity cannot coexist in the brain. They explore the role curiosity plays not just in leadership and business, but in parenting, relationships, creativity, and human connection. This episode is a compelling reminder that asking better questions—without an agenda—can unlock innovation, strengthen relationships, and create cultures where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Dr. Dan is in the virtual studio today with award-winning music educator and entrepreneur Kenneth Thompson to explore what it truly means to grow into your purpose—especially when the path is anything but linear. Ken, the founder and CEO of the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, Inc. (MACSA), holds a Bachelor of Music/Piano Performance from the Eastman School of Music (where he studied with Nelita True and Anton Nel). Ken shares his journey from early struggles with learning differences, bullying, and feeling unseen, to discovering connection, creativity, and self-awareness through music. What begins as a story about piano and performance becomes a profound exploration of resilience, mindset, neurodiversity, and leadership. Together, Dr. Dan and Ken unpack the hidden costs of chasing validation, the pressure of elite performance environments, and the courage it takes to redefine success. They explore why growth requires both safety and intensity, how authentic connection unlocks human potential, and why teaching, mentoring, and advocacy are among the most powerful forms of leadership. This episode is a reminder that purpose evolves, growth is relational, and true empowerment comes from being met—exactly as you are—while being challenged to become more.

In this eye-opening interview, Dr. Dan Peters talks with internationally renowned psychologist Guy Winch to explore how emotional health, rumination, and chronic stress quietly hijack our lives highlighting that burnout doesn't happen overnight, and it doesn't stay at work when the workday ends. Dr. Dan and Guy also discuss his new book Mind Over Grind: How To Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life. Guy shares why burnout clouds our judgment, why rumination is one of the most damaging (and overlooked) habits in modern work culture, and how emotional health skills can prevent anxiety and depression before they become clinical.

This episode is a grounded, actionable reminder that while we can't always change our external circumstances, but we can change how we experience them.

Today on Make It A Great One, Dr. Dan interviews Raj Sisodia, global thought leader, bestselling author, and co-founder of Conscious Capitalism, to explore the inner work required to live and lead with purpose, integrity, and humanity. Raj also introduces the seven steps outlined in his newest book Healing Leaders which teaches us that leadership begins with knowing, loving, and healing oneself.  Raj shares the pivotal moments that reshaped his life and leadership—from questioning profit-only business models to confronting unhealed personal trauma that lingered beneath decades of professional success. He opens up about his own healing journey, the influence of his parents, and the realization that leadership without self-awareness inevitably causes harm. Together, Dr. Dan and Raj unpack what it truly means to be a conscious leader—someone willing to integrate head, heart, and soul; masculine and feminine energy; wisdom and playfulness because conscious leaders create ripple effects that impact families, communities, and future generations. This episode challenges traditional business paradigms and offers a hopeful vision for the future—one where business becomes a force for healing, compassion, and collective well-being. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and lead from a deeper place—one rooted in purpose, courage, and care.

In this provocative and reflective episode, Dr. Dan interviews transformational coach Thomas Blottenberger about purpose, self-awareness, and what it means to grow from the inside out. Together, they explore how culturally inherited narratives, survival-based programming, emotional numbness, and the performance trap silently shape our lives — and how to break free. Thomas shares the story of his own awakening, describing the internal disintegration that precedes meaningful change. He discusses the courage required to face long-standing patterns and the liberation that comes from choosing curiosity over shame. Through exploring themes of authenticity, leadership, emotional mastery, presence, and empowerment, this episode challenges listeners to rethink the stories they tell themselves and reconnect with who they really are. In addition, Dr. Dan and Thomas dive into the myths of work-life balance, the power of presence, why optimizing the external never creates lasting fulfillment, and how the process of becoming requires patience, compassion, and reflection. They explore how our earliest experiences shape adult behaviors, how men often externalize their power, and why transformation requires slowing down rather than “fixing.” This conversation is an invitation to wake up, sit in awareness, release old narratives, and consciously choose a life aligned with your purpose, integrity, and deepest values.

Dr. Dan continues his Make It a Great One in 2026 kick-off by interviewing author and advocate Mita Mallick to explore the real impact that leadership has on mental health, identity, and workplace well-being.

Together, Dr. Dan and Mita unpack why bad bosses aren't born but made—and how self-awareness, empathy, and accountability can transform workplaces into environments where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to do their best work.  This episode invites listeners to reflect on the profound effect leaders have on mental health and well-being – and the importance of self-care, reflection, and emotional intelligence in all aspects of our lives.

Welcome to 2026 and all new episodes of Make It a Great One!  Today, Dr. Dan sits down with Larry Rosen, creator of The Enemies Project, to explore why conflict has become so entrenched in our culture—and how genuine listening can begin to heal it. During his conversation with Dr. Dan, Larry shares his personal journey from law to mediation to ultimately creating a global project that brings people labeled as “enemies” into the same room for honest, day-long conversations. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and decades of experience working with people in deep conflict, Larry Rosen explains why arguments fail, empathy shuts down under threat, and how understanding—not persuasion—is the fastest path to transformation. Together, Dr. Dan and Larry unpack the mechanisms behind polarization, the role of fear and perceived threat, and how “enemy-making” erodes our ability to cooperate as families, communities, and societies. Through stories from The Enemies Project, they reveal how people with radically opposing views often share the same core motivations: safety, belonging, love, and meaning. This episode is a compelling exploration of leadership, courage, compassion, and what it truly means to really see the humanity in others—even when it feels impossible. As a new year unfolds, Dr. Dan and Larry encourage listeners to reflect on this episode and these words from The Enemies Project: “We bring people together—not to debate, but to come face-to-face. Not to argue, but to understand. Not to compromise their values—but to reclaim something deeper: the capacity to recognize each other as fellow citizens, fellow humans, insightful, valuable, real.” For more information www.enemiesproject.org visit @theenemiesproject on Instagram.
