Start lines can carry more than nerves—they can carry whole lives. We kick off Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend with equal parts heart and how-to, celebrating Jack's wedding, sharing practical travel and cheering plans, and diving into two stories that remind us why miles matter.Wendy opens her journey with honesty about grief's physical weight after losing her husband; a man who once signed up for a 5K just to support her Dopey dream. She talks about the moment a Thursday Zoom call pulled her back to community, how coaching helped her rebuild a routine from dog walks to long runs, and why she'll run in hot pinks and hearts to keep love visible on the course. Her insight is clear and kind: grief doesn't follow rules, so neither should your healing.We then turn the volume up on community with our annual Rise and Run roll call—Dopey, Goofy, marathon, half, 10K, and 5K—giving first timers and veterans their well-earned spotlight. Jon's story brings purpose into sharp focus. A single dad chasing his first marathon to model dedication for his kids, he speaks candidly about battling old habits, choosing to prioritize time rather than “find” it, and refusing to let imperfect weeks derail the goal. His mantra is simple: hard work works. He's aiming to finish strong, not chase a hero split, and to show his kids that promises kept to yourself change who you become.Whether you run to heal, to grow, or to prove you can, there's room for your reason here. Tap play, feel seen, get the logistics you need, and take your next step toward the start line with us.

Send us a textThis episode is a masterclass in doing the work even when you feel like absolute garbage. Kathy Charles didn't come into my program feeling motivated, hopeful, or even remotely excited about fitness. She came in depressed, deep in menopause, dealing with grief, vertigo, an injured knee, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that makes brushing your hair feel optional.And yet… she showed up.Kathy didn't wake up one day magically inspired. She started when she was grumpy, resistant, and fully prepared to hate me during workouts. She modified everything. She half-assed it when that was all she had. She swore at the screen. And she kept going anyway.In this conversation, Kathy shares how therapy helped clear what she calls the “traffic jam” in her brain so she could start taking care of herself again, why mental health support wasn't optional for her progress, and how structure, not motivation, helped her rebuild trust with herself.She lost 50 pounds and 44 inches, yes. But more importantly, she got her energy, confidence, and sense of badassness back. She zip-lines. She shovels snow. She plans bike trips. She lives in a body she trusts again.This episode is proof that you don't need to feel good to start. You just need to start.What's Inside:You don't need motivation. You need momentum. Kathy started when she felt awful and let consistency do the heavy lifting.Mental health and physical health are not separate. Therapy cleared the path so habits could stick.Modifying is not failing. It is how progress actually happens, especially when your body has limits.Habits don't disappear when life gets hard. They are what carry you through it.Kathy's story is such a powerful reminder that progress doesn't come from perfection. It comes from showing up as you are, even when you're cranky, tired, grieving, or over it. You don't need to do it all. You just need to keep doing something.If this episode hit home for you, DM me on Instagram and tell me what your version of a “grumpy workout” looks like right now. I want to hear it.Mentioned in This Episode:Join the 28 Day Transformation WaitlistOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

When Anh Nguyen Austen was a small girl, her family fled South Vietnam on a boat which met a once-in-a-century storm in the South China sea. When all on board thought hope was lost, they were rescued.

Today, we're delighted to speak with entrepreneur Moza-Bella Tram, CEO and founder of Moza-Bella LLC. Moza-Bella is an immigrant with a remarkable entrepreneurial journey. She is a TEDx speaker, a mentor, a business consultant, and has written several books, including the bestseller Powerful Female Immigrants, which she co-authored. She is also the host of the digital TV show Lessons from Failures. Stay tuned as we explore Moza-Bella's fascinating journey and the experiences that have shaped her work. Moza-Bella's Journey Moz-Bella was born in Vietnam shortly after the Vietnam War. She came to the U.S. as an adult immigrant 25 years ago, leaving behind family, familiarity, and certainty. Her experience was similar to that of many immigrants- the unknown, limited support, and the pressure to succeed, for herself, and for her family. She was told she was too old to learn English fluently, but she pushed forward anyway, focusing on clear communication rather than perfection, and using frustration as motivation to grow. Early Career and Foundations in Hospitality Before immigrating, Moza-Bella worked in Vietnam's hospitality industry at Omni Saigon and later Sofitel Saigon, where she developed an appreciation for professionalism, service, and strategic promotions. Working in public relations exposed her to branding, credibility, and global perspectives, and hospitality became her first window into the world beyond Vietnam's borders. Education, Resistance, and Choosing Her Own Path After arriving in the U.S., Moza-Bella encountered skepticism and prejudice and was discouraged from pursuing higher education. Despite that, she earned her MBA in Marketing from the University of Hartford, driven by her parents' sacrifices and her belief in the right to choose her own future. Her early ambition was to build a global hospitality career, but over time, new opportunities and realities reshaped her direction. Adaptation, Grit, and Multiple Careers Moza-Bella supported herself through school and beyond by working in nail salons, restaurants, interpretation services, construction-related marketing, network marketing, real estate, and, eventually, nursing after the 2008 financial crisis. Each role added to her skills, perspective, and resilience. Redefining Success and Time Freedom Moza-Bella wanted the flexibility to care for her parents and shape her own life, so she chose to become an entrepreneur. She invested heavily in personal development and coaching, believing that free information offers knowledge, but paid learning creates transformation. Building a Consulting Business with Purpose Over the last five years, Moza-Bella built Moza-Bella LLC into a business consulting company with a growing team. Her mission is to help strong entrepreneurs become well-known in their industries, allowing them to create meaningful impact. She believes that change happens one person at a time, through a ripple effect of shared growth and visibility. Lessons from Failures and Shared Wisdom Through her digital TV show, Lessons from Failures, Moza-Bella highlights the realities behind success stories. Entrepreneurs, doctors, and professionals from many fields share how hardship shaped their decisions, often after years of trial and error. She emphasizes the value of learning lessons sooner, challenging entrenched systems, and prioritizing growth while time is still on your side. Meaning Behind the Name Moza-Bella The name "Moza" means mother of pearl, representing an oyster that transforms pain into something valuable by embracing it rather than resisting it. For Moza-Bella, that symbolizes human potential, cultivating adversity into wisdom, then opening oneself to share it with others. Bio: Moza-Bella Tram Founder and CEO, TEDx Speaker, Author, Mentor, Business Consultant Moza-Bella is an international speaker, author, and CEO dedicated to helping professionals find authentic fulfillment and success. She has over 15 years of experience in healthcare and more than 20 years in business development. She produces and hosts the digital TV show "Lessons from Failures," airing on FOX5 and PIX11 New York. She has been featured in Forbes and Yahoo Finance and is the author of "Luxury in YOU." She partners with Grant Cardone in the 10X movement in Vietnam.

In the 1960s, a new definition of “brain death” was introduced—built on criteria that many argue were never scientifically proven. Over the decades, those criteria have been repeatedly weakened, raising a critical and unsettling question: without this redefinition, would organ harvesting even be possible?Logically, vital organs must be alive and functioning to be successfully transplanted. That reality directly challenges the claim that donors are truly dead at the time organs are removed.In this episode, we examine the decades-long work of Dr. Paul Byrne, who began studying and publicly challenging the concept of brain death in the 1970s. Dr. Byrne's research and testimony raise profound medical, ethical, and legal concerns—suggesting that modern organ donation practices may be based on a false premise.If the definition is wrong, the consequences are enormous.This is a conversation about medicine, ethics, life, and death—one that demands serious scrutiny and honest debate.⚠️ Viewer discretion advised.

As we begin 2026 we're looking at some Simple Habits—just three—that will put us “in the channels” (so to speak) of God's grace. Ordinary paths and places where he regularly pours out his grace. Practicing spiritual habits (spiritual disciplines) is how we stay close to the grace that is already ours in Jesus. We begin this week by seeing that God's grace does not wait for us to get our act together—it arrives first, freely and lavishly, before effort, obedience, or change ever begin. Grace justifies us without merit, sanctifies us through Spirit-empowered effort, and will glorify us at Christ's return.

When the calendar turns and a new year stretches out before us, we're reminded that time is a gift—and how we use it matters.A new series began with Grit, launching with Week 1: No Time to Waste. Together, we leaned into the reality that we all have the same amount of time each day, yet how we choose to spend it reveals what we value most. Through Scripture, we were challenged to consider God's rhythm of work and rest and how living with intention shapes our faith.As we reflected on Jesus' teachings and shared in communion, we were reminded to stay ready, faithful and grounded in what truly lasts. At the start of a new year, we were invited to live with grit—using our time wisely, resting well and trusting God with every moment we've been given.

Send us a textWhat if the best tools for leading a team could reshape how you lead at home? That question threads through a fast, heartfelt conversation with performance advisor Justin Su'a, where we swap highlight reels for real-life reps: nightly reflection, fearless feedback, and decision-making under uncertainty. Justin brings the richness of his Polynesian roots—storytelling, respect, faith—and pairs it with the rigor he's applied across MLB clubhouses, NFL camps, and elite academies.We dig into practical ways to raise confident, grounded kids without turning your house into a scoreboard. You'll hear how his family uses “fear reps” to make public speaking and performing feel normal, how celebrating failure on purpose strips away shame, and why the nightly questions (best part of today, what you learned, what you'll do better tomorrow) change the tone of a household. We break down probabilistic thinking for families—estimating odds, running premortems, and separating process from outcomes—so your kids can navigate auditions, tests, and tryouts with calm, not panic.Respect and discipline stay at the center. Justin's parents treated everyone the same, and that humility shows up in his own home: eulogy qualities over resume lines, service before status, and empathy for the person who feels like the “only one” in the room. We also challenge the myth that one path fits all. College can be great, but curiosity, craft, and consistent systems matter more than credentials when you're building a meaningful life. If you want a family playbook that blends love and structure, faith and feedback, this conversation delivers tools you can use tonight.Subscribe for more candid, practical conversations on leadership at home.

How you pause, reflect, and realign here quietly determines the momentum you carry into 2026.Not everything deserves more of you — only what truly matters does.Your best year won't come from doing more. It will come from putting more energy into the few things that actually move your life, health, relationships, and purpose forward.Energy in the wrong places is still waste.Habits, distractions, fear, comparison, and commitments you've outgrown quietly steal your momentum. Taking that energy back is one of the fastest ways to feel lighter, clearer, and more focused.Consistency changes you — intensity just makes noise.Big emotional sprints feel heroic, but they rarely last. Real transformation is built through simple, repeatable actions done quietly and faithfully over time.Nobody builds a meaningful life alone.Alignment, accountability, and brotherhood aren't optional — they're essential. The right people don't just cheer you on… they anchor you to the man you said you wanted to become.ONE TRUTH: You don't become who you want to be through big promises — you become him through small, consistent choices made on ordinary days, with the right people keeping you anchored.

Imagine all your dreams coming true at the age of 18. It's a real possibility for snowboarder Hanna Percy. The athlete from Truckee, California, is the youngest member of the U.S. female snowboard cross team. Typically, elite snowboarders earn a place on the U.S. Development Team before moving to the Pro Team and then onto an Olympic Team. Hanna's results were so good that she skipped the development level and went straight to the pro team. Now, at 18, she has a shot at representing Team USA at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. Hanna says, "We have six girls competing for three spots right now." Hanna's parents were pro snowboarders in the 1990s. Their daughter's talent and need for speed showed up early.  Her mother, Kim Percy, remembers "she was probably 10 when she passed me on the hill. It's like her board is a connection to her feet." Hanna left Northern California when she was 16 and enrolled at the prestigious Gould Academy, where her snowboarding results soared. The small co-ed academy in Western Maine is a favorite for winter sports athletes with Olympic ambitions. The move paid off. The environment allowed her to finish high school while launching her pro career. In person, Hanna is incredibly likable and friendly. But on the snow she's known for a grit and fierce need to win that's propelling her career at record speed. "I just like, kind of have to win," Hanna admits. But there a playful side too.  And, it's evident in every start gate where she Macarenas to loosen up and lessen the stress! On this Dying to Ask - The Road to Milan-Cortina: How to fuel your own competitive spirit How an 18 year old rose so quickly in snowboard cross and who taught this Gen Zer to Macarena?  How Hanna stays grounded when life and it's possibilities seem endless right now And my favorite attribute: grit. Where Hanna's comes from and the mentor who taught her how to dig in

This week we're doing something a little different, and honestly — something really special. For the first time ever, the original team behind my Chevelle build all sat down together to revisit the journey from 2011–2013. This wasn't a “sponsored” build or a corporate project. It was a leap of faith between friends who believed we could pull off something big long before we knew how. We started in basements and small shops, fought rust, deadlines, wiring headaches, and fatigue — and somehow ended up rolling into SEMA together. In this episode you'll hear Jeff Allison, Danny Giustino, Zip Simons, Kirk Hansen, and producer Bernie all share their side of the story — the wins, the failures, the sleepless nights, the road trips, and the moments we'll never forget. If you've ever dreamed of doing something way beyond your comfort zone, this one is for you. It's a reminder that passion + good people can move mountains…and cars. The post TMCP #634: The Ultimate Reunion // How 6 People Who Never Met Built a $400K Chevelle for SEMA on Friendship, Grit, and Faith! first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
